I once had a 1969 Chevy c-10.Biggest POS I have ever had.Two tones of primer when I bought it.The entire thing was a mix of the red and grey primer.It had 6 lug Chrome flaking wagon wheels.A 283 with the 3 speed coloumn shift.The brakes were all drum and worked sometimes.I bought it when I was 17. The linkage would bind up underneath of the firewall where it linked at to go to the trans.It seemed to be more of a problem when it rained,that way I had to get down on the ground,reach under it and wiggle it,to free it up.Get down the road and do it again,if I had stop lights on the street I was traveling. The wipers died one day and I pulled into a parts house that has since closed down.The switch was bad and they did not have one.Found two alligator clips and got the wires from the motor,attach on with a clip to the - side of the battery and one to the + side of the batt. Endede up having to do the same with the headlights a few weeks later.So I was screwed if it was night AND raining.Do not know what the blower worked like since I unloaded the truck before winter.Why did I not fix it right when I had it ? 17 years old,living at home $4.00 an hour,paying rent,insurance,gas.That did it for me.Could not afford to.Top that for a heap of trash!!!
I had a ford festiva that puked out about a quart of oil ever 100 miles. Stripped down. No power steering (motor probably wouldn't turn the pump: 1.3 liter!). Every inch of the exhaust was replaced with tach welds, cheap pipes and sealer. Sounded like a perpetual fart. Tires were 13 dollars each, so you can immagine how they rode.
I had a ford tempo too. Man that was a pile. Belt tensioner broke and you have to take out the motor mount to get to it. Water pump detonated in traffic. It shifted... most of the time. The rest of the time it sat in first until you wiggled the linkage. Leaked oil (don't all fords?). Overheated... even in the rain (but just when it felt like it... even after a new thermostat). Electric fan worked... sometimes. Exhaust manifold cracked in two.
And these are cars taht were maybe 8-12 years old that had been taken care of!!!
You know what................I have never had a real lemon. My 1st car had the binding linkage problem, but that was due to a 16 year old trying to power shift a "Spark-o-matic" shifter.
I can honestly say that all my cars had some good virtures......................Oh, wait...there was that 86 Hyundia Steller...............POS.
I have never had a junker really. The only unreliable car I've ever had would be my S10. But with High Performance you can expect that I guess.
But I won't call it a junker, its near by she might hear.
Not to mention the Chevy Gods would frown on that
I forgot to add to it.Tried like hell to blow that 283.No reason in particular.Just wanted to blow the thing up.Me and my girlfriend(wife now) had just left a wave pool in Indiana.We were on 65-South and it started to go,got odff the Interstate in the Old Louisville district.Old Victorian homes all over 100+ years old.So I got it in The Dizzy Wizz parking lot(old burger joint) went to the pay-phone(remember those?) and called home.When we got back to the truck was a baglady sitting on my tailgate with her duffel bag on the gate beside her.I asked her what she thought she was doing.She went on to inform me I was in the "rough" end of town and she was "protecting" my truck.I worked in this area and it was by far rough.UofL is in around the corner and the college kids take care of the area.I told her to move on and she tried to say I should give her money for protecting my blown up truck. I had to threaten her with physical harm to get her to leave.
My biggest POS was my 67 F100, this pickup was the poster child for rust buckets. This thing was flogged to death before I bought it. The motor was a 300 inline six that had a zillion miles on it, probably more like 200,000 and was very tired. If I pulled up to a full sevice gas station I would say check the gas and fill the oil. Every time I would drive on slushy roads, slush would come flying up through the floor boards and hit me in the face. I fixed that problem by putting in cardboard floorpans. The place where the radio was at looked like somebody pulled it out with a jackhammer and a winch, what a nasty little hole it was. Then almost every wire must have been cut and spliced and wrapped with either duct tape or makinging tape. It was like a money pit from hell, if I fixed one thing, something else would go wrong. I just got to the point where I didn't care about it, hence the cardboard floorboards. If I had not hit another pickup with it in a accident, I would have taken to my grandparents ranch and used it for target practice. Then it would have mysteriously caught on fire and burned to the ground. I tell you I really hated that POS and that is exactly what it was.
First car...a '53 Henry J, with a four cylinder Jeep flat head engine.
The 1-2 synchro was gone so you ground your way into second. The brake lights never did work, and I only had one taillight. Removed the thermostat and loosened the radiator cap to prevent more leaks. I used a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator when winter came. The starter solenoid was going, so I had to keep clicking it until it decided to catch. The headlight switch broke, so I let it hang under the dash. When it got dark, I pulled the knob out and jimmied around with the wiring until the headlights came...but if you hit a bump they went back off.
The kicker was the day the clutch fork pivot ball went through the fork and I couldn't release the clutch. When I had to stop, my buddy jumped out and pushed while I cranked the starter and got it going again. People must have been laughing their behinds off.
Loved that car!

Lemon Cottage
1 Bedroom sleeps 2 with bathroom and seperate kitchen area. Outside patio
Villa Settecentesca
The villa and her cottages Orange, Lemon and Agave are located in Bagheria the summer residence of old aristocratic Sicilian families. In the same area you can see 7 others beautiful historical villas. Some of them are now open to the pubblic. The three Cottages have nice independent patios surrounded by a Mediterranean garden. The interior decoration is renewed but in a classical style. The popular films 'Nuovo Cinema Paradiso' and 'Baharia', directed by Tornatore, have been located in a Bagheria of a hundred years ago.....

A great stay
One point however is that the location is not accurately listed on HomeAway and sent us to the wrong place! Still, once we were there we had a great time.
About the Owner
About The Owner
We live in northern Italy, Spain and USA but we love Sicily and once a year we come back to our roots where the family of Princes Moncada di Paternò came in 1400 from Spain as Vicekings of Sicily. We love the colors the monuments the food and the beauty of our island and we hope others will enjoy them too
The Owner purchased this cottage in 1745
Why The Owner chose Palermo
Family property
What makes this cottage unique
the villa is right in the centre of town, so very handy for shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Bagheria is not a tourist town, but for those that want to experience real Sicily it's an excellent place to soak up the atmosphere, go to nearby beaches where only the locals go, and also to travel around the sights in the Palermo area, and experience plenty of variety in nearby beaches, towns, churches and so on.

A great stay
Fantastic experience at the Villa, lovely pool and area, facilities that were perfect for a week's holiday for two. Angela was very helpful and provided excellent suggestions for where to go and what to do in Sicily. There are also one or two great restaurants nearby.

A most wonderful holiday
My boyfriend and I stayed for one week at Lemon cottage and it was most wonderful than we anticipated. Aloisa was a wonderful host and give us lots of ideas of places to visit. Most days were spent lazing around the pool in amongst the most beautiful garden! Our little cottage was beautiful decorated, and comfy and cosy. Some evenings we would spend out on the little terrace drinking wine and eating food we have cooked ourselves with lovely local, fresh produce. nt!
We will be back again - this place is a real gem, I couldn't praise it more.
Thank you!
Peaceful Holiday
Lemon Cottage was all the owners said it would be. It is set in beautiful gardens which provide tranquil surroundings although situated very close to the main shopping centre. From initial enquiry through to last day of holiday the owners made themselves available by email and text for any queries about the cottage and Sicily in general. The cottage was as described,was very clean and well equipped.Although our holiday was in October it was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the lovely scenery. We visited Cefalau with its lovely beach and quaint shops and spent some time driving through the countryside to visit Mt Etna( driving on the country roads was a very enlightening experience and would recommend using motorway if not confident or in a hurry to reach destination). Mosquito repellent should be an essential due to the closeness of the Orange and Lemon trees. The people of Bagheria were very friendly and helpful although an English/Italian phrase book would be useful. If we were going back to Sicily then we would definitely consider using Lemon Cottage again and would have no hesitation in recommending it to family or friends.
Owen and Annemarie
Fabulous stay in beautiful gardens.
My boyfriend and I spent a week in Lemon Cottage. The owner Aloisa was very very welcoming and accommodating to all our needs (bringing us freshly picked figs and recommending restaurants and beaches). The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and what makes the property so outstanding is the gardens that surround it. There are tonnes of flowers, lemon groves and a wonderful quiet pool which is great to relax by. I would definitely recommend for a quiet and peaceful break.
Lovely stay
We had a great time staying at the Lemon Cottage in the grounds of one of Bagheria's elegant villas. Our hosts were friendly, welcoming and generous and gave us lots of great advice. One of the restaurants that they recommended served the best Vongole I have tasted in my life. The cottage was well equipped with a large, comfortable bed. The air conditioning and wifi both worked really well. The pool - and its surroundings - were fantastic. The cottage sits just below an orange grove and there is a fig tree nearby. Inside was everything we needed - coffee making facilities, a stove, a washing machine, a well-equipped bathroom. Lots of interesting pictures on the wall. All in all it was a lovely stay. Bagheria is close enough to lots of interesting places - and it felt like a taste of the real Sicily. The director of Cinema Paradiso comes from Bagheria and parts of the movie were filmed there. We took a few day trips by car and train, including a couple to Cefalu, from where you can get a boat to the volcanic islands (which we did one day). Highly recommended!
Charme e confort in una dimora storica
Abbiamo appena terminato la nostra permanenza in questa splendida residenza storica di Bagheria. Già dalle foto ci eravamo resi conto che si trattava di una location particolare ma non avremmo mai immaginato di fare un tuffo nello splendore e nei fasti della Palermo dei primi del '700. Il cottage fa parte delle dipendenze di Villa Trabia che è certamente uno degli edifici locali più interessanti e di pregio da un punto di vista architettonico e storico culturale. L'appartamento è immerso in un agrumeto che a sua volta è inserito in un rigoglioso giardino mediterraneo tenuto splendidamente. A disposizione degli ospiti c'è una meravigliosa piscina dove "relax" è davvero l'unica parola d'ordine. Le strutture sono pulite e complete di ogni confort. La cucina è fruibile e la proprietà fa in modo che all'arrivo non manchi nulla. Lo spazio esterno privato completo di doccia , divani , tavolo e sedie completano l'apprezzabile cornice. Non è possibile non fare riferimento alle proprietarie di casa , che con la loro eleganza e con grande garbo , sono sempre presenti senza mai essere mai invadenti. Perdersi nei loro racconti e nella storia della loro famiglia è un modo piacevole per passare delle ore a bordo piscina. È un luogo che sicuramente consiglierei vivamente a chi vuole visitare quest'area della Sicilia risiedendo in una struttura dove l'attenzione all'accoglienza è al primo posto e dove lo charme ed il gusto del bello imperano sovrani.

Studying the public health consequences of Hurricane Floyd
In 1999, Hurricane Floyd caused widespread flooding in the eastern United States, with especially severe flooding in eastern North Carolina. These floodwaters carried animal wastes, sewage, and toxic chemicals into groundwater aquifers at an unprecedented rate, resulting in contaminated drinking water supplies in much of eastern North Carolina. North Carolina public health officials are very concerned about the potential long-term health risks for the people of the region, especially because of the presence in the region of concentrated animal feeding operations. However, at this time the severity of the public health impact is not known. This grant supports a study to assess the actual and potential long-term public health consequences of the flooding, focusing in particular on the release of antibiotic-resistant and pathogenic bacteria from animal feeding operations into the environment. The results of the study will be of immediate value to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, other states with animal agricultural operations, and federal agencies with responsibility for public health and emergency planning.

About time i did the progress pics thing, so here ya go. Helmet is a JD, gloves are blue leather gloves from a second hand clothing store, blaster is a resin kit. front armour is JD, back armour - Cruzer?, not sure about the rest it was purchased together. Armour fits to the vest with velcro but I'll change that to snaps.
Started making the Leg Armour, heres the shins made from ABS.
I tracked down a good material for the Flightsuit, a cotton drill. i reckon its a pretty close colour match, its the one on the left of the photo. the one on the right I thought was too blue, and is very thin cotton.

DALLAS--Bradley University Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh was one of 29 winners of the AstroTurf AD of the Year Award (ADOY) announced today by The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
There are four geographic regions - northeast, southeast, central and west; while the membership is separated into seven categories - Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A); Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA); Division I (formerly Division I-AAA); Division II; Division III; NAIA; and Junior/Community Colleges.
One winner was selected in each of the seven categories, for a total of 29 honorees. Winners will receive their awards during the James J. Corbett Awards Luncheon at NACDA's 43rd Annual Convention at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas.
NACDA Executive Director Mike Cleary explains the ADOY Award is essential because it highlights the efforts of athletics directors at all levels for their commitment and positive contributions to campuses and their surrounding communities.
"Our Honors and Awards Committee recognized a need for an award such as the AD of the Year," said Cleary, who oversaw implementation of the program to allow all NACDA Officers and Honors and Awards Committee members to participate in the awards process, should they be elected. "The program brings to light the exceptional jobs done by athletics directors across the country. These 29 winners exemplify that, providing us with a group of outstanding athletics directors who excel at their jobs."
Winners of the 2007-08 AstroTurf AD of the Year Awards are:
Football Bowl Subdivision
Mike Alden University of Missouri Central
Gene Bleymaier Boise State University West
Bob Mulcahy Rutgers University Northeast

All NACDA-member directors of athletics in the United States, Canada and Mexico who met the criteria were eligible for the award. Among the criteria were service as an AD for a minimum of five academic years; demonstration of commitment to higher education and student-athletes; continuous teamwork, loyalty and excellence; and the ability to inspire individuals or groups to high levels of accomplishments. Additionally, each AD's institution must have passed a compliance check through its appropriate governing body (i.e., NCAA, NAIA, etc.), in which the institution could not have been on probation or cited for a lack of institutional control within the last five years during the tenure of the current athletics director.
Nominators were NACDA-member directors of athletics, institutional presidents and conference commissioners. Special Selection Committees composed of current and former directors of athletics, present and past NCAA and NAIA presidents, current and former commissioners and other key athletics administrators voted on nominees for the award. A complete listing of Selection Committee members can be found on NACDA's web site at www.nacda.com.

On 7th July last the International Cremation Federation held its General Council Meeting in charming Stratford-upon-Avon, Great Britain. The GCM formed part of the International Cremation & Burial Conference & Exhibition 2015, which successfully took place from 6th – 8th July. Read more....
The International Cremation Federation (ICF) has celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2012. This is reason enough – but not the only one – to publish the Handbook on Cremation. This English-language handbook includes articles from authors from around the world, who are experts in the funeral and cremation business. The book was released on October 4th, 2012.
Our Code of Ethics is certainly one of the most important documents of the ICF. Not only has it been agreed and signed by all our members, but it has also formed the basis of many ethical codes from other (national and international) organizations in our industry. At the General Council meeting of 4 July 2011 in Bristol, a renewed version of the code of ethics was presented. The meeting adopted unanimously this version and agreed that the new version would replace the old one. Below you will find the Code of Ethics valid as of 4 July 2011. We encourage all our members to display the Code of Ethics on their premises, for the public to see. Obviously websites and other promotional material are also very appropriate ways of informing the public on our standards of ethical behavior.
Founded in London in 1937 the International Cremation Federation (ICF) is an international non-profit organisation devoted to promoting the practice of cremation to the highest standard.
In 1996 the International Cremation Federation was granted Consultative Status (Roster) with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The Federation has the ability to contribute to the international cremation movement and work of the United Nations at the highest level.

At 43 and a mom. Had 325cc saline implants done, under the muscle, along with a lift.
Unlike some other folks, I had no pain (went off pain meds the very next day) and no complications.
HATED the implants immediately after surgery, and that never went away. I was constantly aware of my boobs, and they felt HARD. They are so horribly unnatural.
I started wearing really loose clothing so they wouldn't show.
And worst of all, those foreign things in my chest freaked me out. They had to go.
Was never happy at my post-surgery check ups. After one month, I asked him to take them out. The surgeon, bless his heart, only charged me $700, the cost to use the surgery room at the hospital, and he did the anesthesia himself. I love him.
Getting the lift was awesome, though, which is all I should have done.
Getting implants was THE single biggest, stupidest mistake in my life.
Unless you're like a mastectomy patient, don't do it. Get a lift. That actually adds more volume, too. I'm still an A cup, but they're fuller and perky. And squishy and natural.

The decision a seller has to make is pretty simple. You can decide to sell it yourself, hire one of those "seller helper" companies or hire a real estate agent.
The big advantage a seller enjoys if they sell their own home without involving a real estate agent is saving money. A real estate agent hired to sell someone's home is going to get a percentage of the selling price as compensation for their services. In my area, it's generally 5% or 6%, but that can vary depending on where you live.
If you sell it yourself, you save a lot of money but you'll probably have to hire an attorney to assist you with all the legal mumbo jumbo that goes hand-in-hand with a real estate transaction. You'll have to work a lot harder and deal with a lot of red tape yourself if you decide to sell your home yourself. There's nothing wrong with selling your home yourself, but just realize that it's a lot more difficult than hiring a real estate agent in terms of the amount of work you'll need to do and it's likely to take a lot longer than it would if you hired a real estate agent.
There are all kinds of new limited-service companies that have sprung up in recent years that offer partial real estate service, such as getting your home listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listings. I really don't know too much about these companies so that's about all I have to say on the subject.
If you want to know what I suggest, I say go with a real estate agent. I'm no longer a real estate agent or have anything to do with the industry (other than maintaining this website) so I really don't have anything to gain whether you decide to hire a real estate agent or not.
I can tell you that each time I have bought or sold a home, I have hired a real estate agent and the reasons for that are because it's the quickest way to get your home sold and it saves you a lot of time and effort. Frankly, just going through all the work it takes to prepare a home for sale and then be cleaning it up and vacating it for every showing is enough work for me! I'm willing to give up 5% or 6% of the selling price for the services of a real estate agent which makes selling my house one heck of a lot easier than if I did it myself.
Who Should I Hire To Sell My Home?
If you have decided to hire a real estate agent to sell your home, you may benefit from an experience I recently had.
You can choose to hire one of the "big name" agencies or you can hire a local "mom and pop" agency. I'm all for local business, but if you decide to hire a small, local real estate company to sell your home, I suggest you make sure the agent you hire is very hard-working and motivated.
In my experience, the big-name companies have a lot more resources than the smaller agencies and bigger budgets as well. This was demonstrated to me when I hired a small, local agency to sell a property for me and was rather shocked to see how casual they seemed about getting it sold. As far as I could tell, their marketing efforts consisted of slapping a cheesy-looking sign on a tree in front of the property, listing it in MLS and running an ad in the Sunday paper one time.
There were a number of showings of the property to potential buyers and for the vast majority of them I received no feedback whatsoever. That was really surprising to me since I recall being taught in real estate school a few years ago that keeping your client informed and up-to-date was the most important thing a selling agent can do.
It's probably not surprising to hear that I let the contract expire with that company and did not renew it. I was extremely unimpressed with their effort to sell the property.
I then decided to hire one of the big-name companies that is dominant in this area. The difference was like night and day. The agent (who I did know from a number of years ago) was fantastic. She provided more feedback from showings that I could have expected and she did it very promptly.
The agent from the big company also had access to resources that the smaller company just did not have, giving the property more exposure in more places. I could not have been happier with the experience I had with the agent I had hired from the big agency.
I'm not saying that an agent from a smaller company cannot do a good job selling a property. I'm willing to wager that there are some top-notch agents working at small companies. They just have to work a little harder than the agents from the big companies because the big companies have the funds and resources to market a property to a wider audience and with more of the latest tools and technology.

14 Year Old Me
In these next few weeks, all of the bloggers on Hopkins Interactive will be writing entries about our individual experiences with the college admissions process.
My experience applying to college was basically like an online shopping binge. I visited two schools before application time (neither of them being Hopkins), and I went crazy with my Pappa's credit card (six random schools = too many).
I made important decisions based on pictures from college websites, from silly Huffington post "best colleges" slide shows, and gossip
I lucked out big time, however, I would highly recommend visiting as many schools as possible so you don't end up with that floral non-returnable, overpriced romper from Top Shop (which could have easily happened to me). Instead, even if you don't have the resources available to travel all around the country (or world?!?!) to find the perfect fit, you will have a feel for what a small, liberal arts college feels like versus a big, research university, versus America's best party universities.
Now, to better exemplify how different people are from the beginning of the college process versus the end, I thought it appropriate to include a letter I wrote to myself as a freshman in high school. In my ninth grade English class (very early in the college process), I was given the assignment to write a letter to my future high school senior self. Placed in a typical "time-capsule" filled to the brim with mementos of my little hipster self and inside jokes that I no longer understand, this letter reveals little besides what a tool I was (thus why I am providing "excerpts"). However, what it does reveal about my college plans at the time of my freshman year in high school, is PURE GOLD. I present, 14 year old Tyler D.:
Dear Me,
Hi Tyler! You are (hopefully) graduating high school very soon. There are a few things I know for certain: you are definately [GREAT spelling, Tyler!] wearing a pretty white BCBG dress for graduation, you will certainly get a lot of applause when you walk across the aisle (otherwise you'll be that unpopular loser), and you must have a better haircut than the bob you have now (MISTAKE). Otherwise, I know you'll have just received your acceptance from Stanford business school, and you'll be starting in the fall, so CONGRATS. Just remeber to stay kind when you are CEO of a fortune 500 company!
Mucho love,
So, I obviously excluded some of the most embarrassing parts of the letter, but you get the idea. But let's go over these "goals" I had back in the day. First of all, BCBG? Really Tyler, that's some real high aspirations/high fashion. Second of all, that bob was cute back in the day, you jerk. Third of all, you CANNOT go to Stanford business school as an undergrad, GREAT RESEARCH! You never even applied to Stanford at all! And finally, a CEO? Really? You do not have the ability to fire anyone.
When I think about how different I am from the version of Tyler above and how much I learned, it makes me very nervous. I think about how I could have made so many wrong decisions based on shallowness. In the end, I lucked out because I came to a school that has lots of different options. So even when I discovered I didn't want to study International Relations, I had options for potential other majors . The most important advice I have: be cognizant that your mind may change. You may not know what you want to do for the rest of your life, so make sure the college you choose has a back-up plan. And while today I say that I am a Sociology major who wants to become involved in education, I can look back at this blog post in six years and LOL.
Best of luck with this whole process. Remember, don't take this too seriously. The college you attend is not the most important thing in the world. CIAO!

Try doing it from the command line, using the aircrack-ng suite.
Hi all,
First off I must confess my knowledge is very limited in BT overall, but have solid knowledge in many other operating systems, besides Linux.
My difficulty is with wep cracking. I did several tests on my own router with these steps in sequence. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
1-Started BT3 from bootable cd
2-Started Kismet
3-Started spoonwep
4-Input all info from kismet to spoonwep, like Bssid, channel, etc. injection 1000
selected my wlan from list and launched.
It remained all night on and by morning had over 90,000 IVs in kismet but the spoonwep window was still showing gathering ARP and looked like frozen. Is it normal to take that long with all the IVs?
Thanks in advance for any help.

New Terror Plot Threat for Americans
Pets in air carriers might be the next terror threat for flying Americans.
Intelligence officials say Al-Qaeda's master bomb maker is coming up with some unusual ideas on how to sneak bombs on to planes.
U.S. authorities say the latest bomb designs include implanting explosive devices in pets that would be carried on board an aircraft.
Al-Qaeda's top bomb maker also is apparently hiding explosives in what appear to be sealed cameras and external hard drives that would explode when plugged into a laptop.
It's unclear whether Europe has the latest security equipment to stop and airliner attack, or whether machines will be able to keep up with determined terrorists.
With the Summer Olympics expected to draw millions of visitors to London, airport security has taken on renewed importance.

New Dollar Menu Isn't Helping McDonald'sBy
Three months since McDonald's relaunched its popular Dollar Menu as the Dollar Menu And More, with options ranging from $1 to $5, the chain has yet to boost sales. McDonald's reported today that same-store sales in the U.S. were down 3.3 percent in January, following a 3.8 percent decrease in December and a 0.8 percent drop in November.
Bad weather and an unexpected drop in consumer confidence worked against the chain in January. Traffic to U.S. restaurants was already down in the fourth quarter (which included about two months with the new menu) and down 1.6 percent for full year 2013.
The Dollar Menu and More aimed to give customers a "value ladder" based on their discretionary spending, Chief Executive Don Thompson said when it was launched. McDonald's hoped it would increase traffic to stores, improve margins, and give the chain some pricing flexibility.
"To date, results are in line with initial expectations," Thompson said during an earnings call last month. He noted "slight gains in guest counts"—though not enough to improve quarterly results. Price increases on the new Dollar Menu and More (for example, small fries, the McDouble, and Double Cheeseburger all went up from $1) benefited margins as the chain dealt with higher costs for commodities and labor. And despite complaints by some store owners that customers were ordering more Dollar Menu & More burgers and fewer premium items, the average check in U.S. McDonald's locations overall was higher in the fourth quarter, according to an earnings release.
These small boosts haven't been able to offset the chain's larger problems—namely, that American consumers seem less interested in eating at McDonald's restaurants. "Across the U.S., McDonald's is focused on regaining positive momentum with customer engagement, menu choice, and operations excellence initiatives designed to enhance the customer experience," the company said in a release. It recently said it will focus its attention on coffee in its cafes and supermarkets, breakfast products, and digital outreach, such as the McD app.

Fire Emblem is the "original" console strategy RPG, a genre that was previously bound only to computers. Designed by a division of Nintendo named "Intelligent Systems", Fire Emblem was the brainchild of a main named Shouzo Kaga. This mix of RPG-style character development, growth and storyline focus coupled with the tactical placement of units on maps of War Simulations (dubbed SRPGs or simulation role-playing games) became one of Nintendo's most popular franchises in Japan, and has directly influenced every major SRPGs since then in one way or another, including Shining Force, Langrisser, and Tactics Ogre.
Throughout its many installments, Fire Emblem has retained many core characteristics that have been carried over from game to game. Most characters can wield at least two weapons (usually a spear, an axe, or a sword), which have various strengths and weaknesses. These weapons wear out from use, requiring to constantly obtain new ones. In most games, the shops are located on the battlefield, so you might need to take one of your characters out temporarily to have them stop by at a local store to restock. Characters can also visit houses on the battlefield to chat with the locals. Units also tend to talk to each other during a battle to reveal extra story tidbits or strengthen their power. In some cases, you can even recruit enemy soldiers on your team. Most games feature a huge roster, often centering on a handful of primary characters, accompanied by dozens of secondary characters.
The funny thing about a lot of strategy games is that so few honestly felt like they were focused on strategy. Real time strategy games are often more about micro managing growing throngs of units or dealing with more and more types of resources. Other strategy RPGs focus too much on the customization elements, where gaining levels and optimizing combinations of skills are far more important than tactical placement on the map. Fire Emblem, on the other hand, demands that you create and execute a sound strategy, as opposed to masking its difficulty in exponentially increasing layers of numerical bureaucracy. It strikes an optimal balance between offering enough complexity to feel deep and keeping things simple enough to not become cumbersome. Sure, leveling up is still very important, but you can't just grind your characters to victory. Instead, you're encouraged to balance them out and pick your battles wisely. In most of the games, battles cannot repeated, so there's only a limited number of experience points to be had. If you focus only on a few characters, the rest of the roster will become incredibly weak by the end of the game. Many of the titles have one extremely overpowered character (sometimes called "trap" character), which can cause lots of damage but doesn't gain much experience. They're helpful, but you need to spread out your attacks so your experience is better distributed among the team.
The enemy AI is surprisingly smart, striking viciously at weakened opponents and doing everything it can to ensure its victory. Perhaps Fire Emblem's most controversial elements lies with permanent player character death. Yes, once a character is killed, that's it - they're gone for the entire game, and (usually) there's no way to resurrect them. This requires that you carefully consider every move, especially when maneuvering weak units like magicians or healers. While this aspect often frustrates obsessive-compulsive players who refuse to give up any of their characters, the later games in the series tend to toss enough units into the roster that you can spare to lose a few and not have to worry about becoming outnumbered. If you play semi-compentently, you'll probably have more characters than you know what to do with, anyway.
There are tons and tons of different character classes - swordsmen, axe wielders, cavalrymen, heavy knights, archers, magicians and healers. Most units can only attack if they're adjacent to one another. Spearmen, magicians and certain axe wielders can attack diagonally, or two spaces forward. Archers can attack two spaces away, but can't attack anything directly adjacent. Heavy knights are slow but extremely powerful. Calverymen (in the later games) can move again after attacking. Pegasus knights have huge range but often suffer from poor defense. Fire Emblem also utilizes a class promotion system. Once characters reach a certain level (and in some games, when they use a certain item), they transform into a more powerful unit, and their level is brought back down to one, creating more room to power them up even more. The Fire Emblem games are a bit weird in that the stats are upgraded randomly when gaining level, as opposed to the fixed stat growth in most other Japanese RPGs. This means that some characters may end up being more powerful than others, even when using them evenly.
Despite its many iterations, there has been very little change in Fire Emblem's core mechanics, which remain largely identical through most of the series. Even the music, supplied by veteran Yuka Tsujiyoko, maintains the same general style. The only major shakeup occurred with the fourth installment, which introduced a rock-paper-scissors style strength/weakness system, added larger maps and divided the storyline into two generations. Most of these changes were absent from later games, although the weapons triangle remains a staple of the series.
Oddly enough, Fire Emblem's introduction to the gaming world outside of Japan was through the party/action game Super Smash Brothers: Melee for the Nintendo GameCube. Marth was the hero of the first and third Fire Emblem games, while Roy starred in the first, Japan-only Gameboy Advance game. Their theme music is a medley of the Fire Emblem main theme and the "Encounter" theme, which was originally from the first game, but reused in later titles. Rumors circulated that Nintendo of America planned to cut the Fire Emblem characters out since no one in the West knew about the franchise, and outcry ensued. Thankfully, they were left in, as they're both remarkably good characters to play as. It's also possible that their popularity convinced Nintendo to localize the later two GBA titles, although Roy's game never made it to America.
There are eleven individual Fire Emblem episodes altogether, as well as two remakes for the Nintendo DS. Although none of them are numbered, many fans often address the titles with numbers to make things less confusing (and then NCL made things more confusing by including the remakes in the official numbering on the franchise homepage later).
Thousands of years ago, dragons and humans lived in harmony on the continent of Akanaea. But this peace was brought to an end by the evil Medeus, the leader of a race called Manaketes (human/dragon hybrids that can change forms.) The humans fought valiantly, until the hero Henry came forth, wielding the legendary Falchion sword, and slayed Medeus. And all was well for another hundred years, until Medeus came back to life. With the help of the evil wizard Gharnef, the Manaketes slowly began spreading their influence, taking over the country of Doluna, and once again waged war on the land of Akanaea. But Medeus' primary objective was to hunt down and slaughter the descendants of Henry.
This includes Prince Marth, the heir to small nation of Altea. Marth flees to a remote island, leaving his family and his heirloom - the legendary Falchion - behind. But the Dolhran army has found and cornered him, and the only thing he can do is fight back and save his country.
Prince of the small kingdom of Altea and main character of the game. He is the only Lord class unit in your control. His name has been translated several ways (including "Mars" and "Matus") with "Marth" being Nintendo of America's official translation. All of the allied units are colored blue on the map, hence the blue hair.
The princess of the island nation of Talys and Marth's major love interest. Caeda is a skilled Pegasus Knight and wields a silver tongue, as she convinces more enemy units to join your cause than any other character. Better known as "Sheeda" to fans of the series before it took off overseas.
Marth's older sister. She's the sole unit capable of using the Ohm staff, which can raise a fallen unit from the dead.
The princess of Archanea. Spared by a Grustian general, the infamous Black Knight Camus, Nyna found sanctuary in the Kingdom of Aurelis.
The King of Aurelis and a capable Cavalier. He joins Marth's cause when Grust invades his nation. He may seem like a minor character out of the many you'll recruit, but he's crucial to Fire Emblem 3.
The last descendant of Naga, the God Dragon. She is a Manakete, capable of using ancient stones to morph into a dragon. She hasn't fully matured and cannot harness the true power of the God Dragon Stone yet.
The evil priest that revived Medeus. He wields powerful dark magic that can only be defeated by an ancient, holy spell known as Starlight.
Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi ("The Dragon of Darkness and Sword of Light") is the bedrock on which the franchise was born. Marth and his army proceed through twenty-five maps, defeating enemies, finding new comrades, buying weapons and capturing castles, all to re-obtain the Falchion sword and kill Medeus. The plot is mostly limited to small conversations at the beginning and end of each stage, but it's still more detailed than many 8-bit RPGs.
Using the same basic engine as the Famicom Wars games (predecessor to Advance Wars), the interface looks and feels a bit spartan. There's no visible indication on how far a unit can move, and you need to pull up some menus to look at stats instead of them popping up when units highlighted. The cursor movement is sluggish, the characters shuffle slowly around the map, and the ground often remains green even when stepping on other terrain (like water.) The battle backgrounds are stark black, and while the combatants are relatively well animated for a NES game, they're a bit slow and boring. You can shorten them in the options, thankfully.
In spite of these setbacks, Fire Emblem is a surprisingly engrossing game. The graphics are fairly bland, but the music quality is pretty good by NES standards, and it's especially cool when the music changes once the tide of the battle turns in your favor. While the weapon triangle found in the later games hadn't yet been implemented, and there's only one class of magic, there are 25 potential player characters and a total of 21 classes. Certain terrain effects are more important than in any other game in the series - you can scale walls and you'll find one-way hills that units can climb down, but cannot get back up. Because of this, it really feels like units' classes are more important than their stats, because troops like Pegasus Knights can ignore these terrain effects. There's even a mid-game save option, which was quite a luxury for back in the day.
The story of Fire Emblem was retold as part of the first "chapter" in Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo for the Super Famicom, featuring updated graphics and better interface. It's especially nice to be able to see how far units can move. It's fairly true to the original, but a few characters and maps have been cut from the roster, with a total of twenty maps versus the twenty-five of the original, and some levels have been altered a bit. There's only a bit more dialogue, but the chapter openings are a nice touch. The Famicom original is rendered somewhat obsolete by this, but it's still worth checking out for curiosity's sake.
Quick Info:
Additional Screenshots
Fire Emblem Gaiden was released two years after the original. While most of the graphics have been recycled and the clunky interface is practically identical, this sequel takes many other drastic departures from its predecessor. Additions include an open-ended class change system, a new equipment system and some standard RPG-style exploration scenes as seen later in the Shining Force games.
In Fire Emblem Gaiden, characters always have a default weapon unless players specifically equip them with one. Weapons never wear down either, so you never need to worry about them breaking. Magic spells now drain the spellcaster's HP, making them even more vulnerable if you keep them too close to the fray. You can also revisit certain areas and continue to fight enemies in order to level up. For the most part, level grinding is practically a necessity, given some of the immensely strong foes you'll face. Characters can also be equipped with special shields or rings, but since everyone only has one equipment slot, this gives magic users a very unfair advantage. Giving a powerful caster a shield or ring that boosts their power or defense, and regenerates their HP makes for a good, map-clearing combatant! Thankfully, class changes are done at Statues of Mila rather than using items.
Fire Emblem Gaiden has only minor ties to the plot of the original, and takes place on the faraway continent of Valentia, where Mila, the Goddess of the Earth, and the demonic god Doma fought thousands of years ago. After the battle, Valentia was split into two parts. Zofia, the Kingdom of Scripts, was established in the south, and the Rigel, Kingdom of Knights, was established in the north. Emperor Rudolf of Rigel amasses an army in an attempt to unite Valentia under his rule. With the help of Dohza, a holy knight that betrayed Zofia, the Kingdom of Script is now collapsing.
A young warrior from the Kingdom of Rigel from the village of Ram. Trained by the knight Mysen, he gathers and leads an army to free Valentia from the tyranny of Rudolf. He promotes to Hero later on and gains the ability to use bows as well as swords. Appears with blue hair in-game, but all of his other depictions show him with green hair.
The lost princess of Zofia. Under the watch of Mila's Great Sage Nouma, she masters magic and the sword. She doesn't know her country of origin, as she spent most of her childhood with Alm in Ram. Her quest starts out on an island far south of Valentia.
The game starts with Alm and three young villagers from the town of Ram in his army. You have the option of changing these villagers into one of five classes - mages, cavaliers, mercenaries, archers or soldiers. From then on, they'll proceed down a linear class change path. It may seem simplistic, but it's a lot more customizable than most Fire Emblem titles. The game takes you through two quests, one lead by Alm and the other by Celica.
Due to all of the changes to the system, Fire Emblem Gaiden is largely seen as the bastard child of the series, the Fire Emblem equivalent of Zelda II. Regardless, it's still an excellent game, though it unfortunately never received any remakes.

About MeI'm a very experienced wildlife/landscape/travel photographer and am looking to expand into portraits and studio photography, applying some of the principles I have been using for wildlife work, travel photography and street portraits. Happy to help with portfolios if you're okay with me experimenting with styles, lighting and equipment.
I'm currently experimenting with lighting, color separation and body shapes, mostly in black and white. I'm also playing around with some macro work to provide some distinct points of view. If you are interested in working with me on any of this, please feel free to send me a message.

After lashing out against a woman who claimed he was the father of her child, Ne-Yo is being sued for defamation.
Back in 2005, Jesseca White gave birth to a child and listed the "Let Me Love You" singer as the father on the birth certificate. A subsequent paternity test proved her wrong.
It's an exciting time of year for music fans, as the nominations for the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards were announced during a star-studded spectacle in Nashville on Wednesday night (December 5)!
Taking center stage at the Bridgestone Arena venue was Taylor Swift, who co-hosted The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! ceremony alongside LL Cool J.
It was an exciting scene at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles last night (December 2), as CNN held their "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute."
"Glee" star Jane Lynch showed up for the shindig, looking sharp in a black suit as she smiled for the cameras in the arrivals area. She was joined by the adorable Miranda Cosgrove who looked lovely in a black dress with a bright red lip.
Honoring teens who selflessly serve their communities, a handful of stars joined forces to participate in Nickelodeon's 2012 TeenNick HALO Awards in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday (November 17).
Conceived, hosted and executive produced by Nick Cannon, this year's ceremony featured the presentation of four unique stories deeply relevant and important to teens with special stage appearances by celebrities including Nicole Richie, Victoria Justice, Swizz Beatz and Lucy Hale.
Returning to the stage on which she made a name for herself, Jennifer Hudson joined Ne-Yo for a performance on Thursday night's (April 12) episode of "American Idol".
The duo teamed up for a rendition of their song "Think Like a Man," with Miss Hudson being one of the Fox competition series' most prominent former contestants despite the fact that she didn't even end up the season's winner.
Showing off her latest musical accomplishment, Jennifer Hudson has released a music video for her hit single "Think Like a Man."
The "American Idol" alum teamed up with Ne-Yo and Rick Ross for the track, which is featured in the forthcoming flick based on Steve Harvey's book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man."
Following her stirring Whitney Houston tribute at last weekend's Grammy Awards, Jennifer Hudson had herself another memorable awards show night at the 43rd NAACP Image Awards on Friday (February 17).
The 30-year-old singer was among the stars taking the Shrine Auditorium stage, as she joined forces with Ne-Yo for a duet during the Vanguard Award presentation to "Star Wars" guru George Lucas.

Making for quite the swanky affair, Rihanna and Katy Perry as they made solo entrances to the RocNation Pre-GRAMMY Brunch.
Having already received the best gift one could ever hope for, a long list of Hollywood stars welcomed their very own bundles of joy throughout the course of 2011.
As for the new Tinseltown parents being blessed with their first babies, Natalie Portman and fiance Benjamin Millepied said hello to Aleph Portman-Millepied back in June while Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom became mother and father to a darling boy named Flynn in January.

Take an adventure holiday in GUATEMALA with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Guatemala is a small country that is dense with jungles and forested highlands. It is peppered with volcanoes, many of which are still active. Guatemala has over 8000 species of plants, divided between its nineteen ecosystems. Toucans, quetzals, macaws and parrots may be seen, along with herons, hawks, hummingbirds and waterfowl.Guatemala is a republic, with executive power vested in its president. Throughout its modern history it has, however, been ruled by a succession of military strongmen. Guatemalan society is divided into two sections – the indigenous Maya (the majority) and the mestizo, Guatemalans of Spanish blood, who hold the country's economic and political power. Twenty-one different Mayan languages are still spoken today.

That was a nice Super Bowl, wasn't it?
Right about now, you should have your plans locked down for the Super Bowl, choosing from the four options you have on how to spend the big day.
Staunton River, long an underperformer in athletics, made two bold moves to help bolster itself in that area.
There's been a lot of anger lately.
Moronic. Baffling. Maddening.
West Virginia hired Dana Holgorsen as its offensive coordinator.
I'm happy to express Christmas cheer. But that sentiment does not automatically extend to the college football bowl games..
The L.A. Vikings. The L.A. Vikings?
Now they had to go and drag God into it.
As if the egos of professional jocks weren't big enough.
I'm both strongly in favor of hunting and strongly opposed to it.
I'm in favor of it, when it serves to put food on our tables or to ensure proper herd management. It's best when it does both.

i was wondering if all 9mm shot that or not. is it just like runing high octain in your car or what?
Is it safe to use +P ammo in the P9?
I've checked my owners manual and can't find any warnings against it.
I've "Searched" the Kahr forums and while some have mentioned using +P they haven't said anything about it being approved or not.
Where have I missed it?
i was wondering if all 9mm shot that or not. is it just like runing high octain in your car or what?
OK, I went to the Kahr Website and checked the Frequently Asked Questions and found:
Q. Which ammunition is recommended for use with Kahr firearms?
A. Kahr Arms does not endorse any particular brand of ammunition. However, not every brand of ammunition produces the same results. Please check the markings on the barrel hood of your firearm to determine the proper caliber. Kahr suggests a visit to a pistol range to test fire different brands of ammunition in the proper caliber. Kahr cautions against the use of reloads. Lead (unjacketed) bullets can cause excessive fouling and extra attention to cleaning the bore is recommended after firing lead bullets. The Kahr pistol is rated to +P.
So I am (we are) good to go with the +P stuff!
You'll find that most guns now will handle +p ammo, the question is, do you really need to run it and cause all that extra wear and tear on your gun when good shot placement with a quality "standard" defense round will do the job?
With ammo rare and Hollow Point even rarer I was happy to find some JHPs yesterday but they are +P.
Will I shoot a lot of it? Probably not.
Do I want to know if my P9 shoot JHP? Heck yes.
I called Kahr a few weeks back to ask this same question and was told it's just fine to shoot +P ammo through this pistol. I do have an all steel K9 though...
i thought i was just stupid im glad im not the only one who ddint know
Well, I took the P9 and the +P JHP 124 grain ammunition to the range today and everything worked fine.
I also took some WWB 147 grain JHP ammo and it ran fine also.
The total today was 103 rounds, for a grand total of 262 rounds through my P9 without a hickup.

Takeshi Kaneshiro
Takeshi Kaneshiro
About this actor
Takeshi Kaneshiro (Japanese and Chinese: 金城 武, romaji: Kaneshiro Takeshi, Pinyin: Jīnchéng Wǔ), born October 11, 1973, is an actor of mixed heritage – his father is Ryukyuan and his mother is Taiwanese. He speaks Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese Hokkien and English. Kaneshiro is a common Okinawan family name. In kanji, 金城 is Kaneshiro and 武 is Takeshi (given name), with Japanese readings. He appears as 金城 武 (Kaneshiro Takeshi) in Japanese media. Although Kaneshiro is not a Chinese surname, the first kanji of Kaneshiro coincides with the Chinese surname Jin 金 and with the Korean surname "Kim" 김. Since personal names are commonly written in Chinese characters in both Chinese and Japanese naming conventions, with surnames before given names, this gives Kaneshiro the freedom whether distinguish himself as a Japanese or not when working in Chinese-speaking countries by preserving or removing the space between his surname and given name. Kaneshiro's mother is from Taiwan and his...

Definition of yawp
Examples of yawp in a Sentence
stop yawping about your problems and try doing something to fix them
Did You Know?
Yawp first appeared sometime in the 14th century. This verb comes from Middle English "yolpen," most likely itself derived from the past participle of yelpen, meaning "to boast," call out, or yelp. Interestingly, "yawp" retains much of the meaning of "yelpen," in that it implies a type of complaining which often has a yelping or squawking quality. An element of foolishness, in addition to the noisiness, is often implied as well. "Yawp" can also be a noun meaning "a raucous noise" or "squawk." The noun "yawp" arrived on the scene approximately 500 years after the verb. It was greatly popularized by "Song of Myself," a poem by Walt Whitman containing the line "I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."

GM will not build next-generation Chevy Cruze in South Korea
November 6, 2012

General Motors said it would not build its next-generation Chevrolet Cruze small car in South Korea, raising the possibility that it might shift the assembly to Europe to help boost efficiency at its money-losing unit there.
GM Korea head Sergio Rocha recently disclosed the decision to the company's South Korean union, said union spokesman Choi Jong-hak. Rocha said the new model would be built in five regions, including Europe, the United States and China, according to Choi.
Besides South Korea, GM builds the Cruze in the United States, China and Brazil, as well as in smaller numbers in several other countries, including Russia, for local markets.
The decision is part of the No. 1 U.S. automaker's efforts to manage its global manufacturing footprint, GM Korea spokesman Park Hae-ho said.
The current Cruze model accounts for 50 percent to 60 percent of about 260,000 vehicles produced at GM Korea's plant in the southwestern city of Gunsan, Park said. The factory also builds the Chevy Orlando SUV and Lacetti small car.
