This review is from: LaView LV-KH944FT4A8 Premium 1080p / 720p HD DVR 4 Channel TVI Security System w/ 4 HD 720p Night Vision Outdoor Camera
Pros: Great picture
Easy setup
Cons: Cameras record multiple files for each event.
Exported MP4 files are compressed too much.
Other Thoughts: I made the mistake of replacing our video surveillance system before completely testing this system.
While the picture on screen is fantastic, the exported MP4 files have too much compression resulting in blurred images. And the cameras record multiple files for each motion event resulting in up to 20 recordings of the same event.
When I contacted LaView support, they said the recorder might be defective and offerred to replace it. That would be great, except that would leave me with no video security while the exchange takes place.
When I asked if the firmare version would be different than the version in the DVR we have now, and if it's possible to update the firmware all communications from the support department stopped. The firmware question was because if the firmware wasn't newer than what we had, the same problem would happen again. And the update question was to avoid the need to send the DVR back.
So while I'm going to keep the DVR, I'm taking 2 eggs off for support dropping the ball and the cons listed above.
This review is from: EVGA TEGRA NOTE 7 Tablet - 16GB Flash, 1GB RAM Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 4
Pros: The fastest tablet I've owned yet. Excellent resonse and the few games I've tried are fantastic.
Cons: I would have given 5 stars, but the tablet will not update to Android 4.3. It always stops at 200mb and gives a checksum error. I've tried resetting the tablet, and clearing data as suggested on the EVGA site with no difference. The download still stops at 200mb and errors out.
When I called EVGA support I was told to check with Nvidia since they are the ones that push the updates. Their forum has several reports of the same thing happening with no reply.
So I guess I'm stuck with 4.2.
This review is from: AMS DK-1220SEBK Comet Value Series (Black) - 5.25" Removable Rack (SATA-to-SATA)
Pros: This rack makes swapping drives simple. I've used it many times since I first installed it and it's a breeze. Dismount the drive, hit the power button and pop out the drive. It's that simple.
The fan does a good job of keeping the drive cool.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I won't put a hard drive inside a case any more. I always use racks like this to make drive changes simple.READ FULL REVIEW

Dry martini, shaken not stirred: Cracking the physics of Bond's martini
Esters, Vespers and giving a damn!
Bond on Film "A distressingly large amount of rubbish is talked about cocktails," Noel Jackson, top boffin at the Life Science Centre in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, tells The Reg.
You know, that's not half bad. I'm going to have to think up a name for that
Jackson, a Cambridge-University-educated chemist, has all the straight-up science on alcohol.
"We do a lot of debunking of things that people think are true," he tells us. "There's this business of shaken versus stirred. Once you heard it said from people in the cocktail world that shaking 'bruises' a liquid! That's rubbish."
The Reg, as part of our ongoing celebration of James Bond's fiftieth year on film, was talking to Jackson about one of the signature elements of the 007 package: the dry vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred.
Jackson comes on the best of recommendations. We were put onto him by the boffins of the UK's National Physical Laboratory, who have been instrumental in such developments as packet-switched networking and the "Dambuster" bouncing bomb of World War II fame.
"What he doesn't know about drinks, doesn't need to be known," they told us.
We spoke to Jackson about chemicals and thermal dynamics. We start with flavour, and that means talking alcohol.
As all keen Bond geeks know, it wasn't always a vodka martini for 007. Creator Ian Fleming had Bond order his own very individual martini in the first novel, Casino Royale, dubbed the Vesper after traitorous minx Vesper Lynd.
"Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet*. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?" Bond barks at a hapless barman.
Casino Royale was written a time when gin was the - British, anyway - alcohol of choice for a martini, not vodka. This is a significant matter, as gin contains plant extracts (botanicals) which purposely give it a lot of flavour, varying significantly from brand to brand. Vodka, by contrast, is supposed to be an almost pure mixture of alcohol and water**. A vodka martini relies almost completely on the vermouth* for flavour, whereas the choice of gin in a gin-based mixture will impart a lot of flavour of its own.
Gin, and vermouth - like food - get their flavours from long chains of chemical compounds called esters.
Q Branch bartender in action
"The addition of water via ice to the cocktail is critical because it releases H2O that slices the esters open to release smaller, more volatile chemicals that in turn release vapours on your palate - the point at which you get the flavour," explains Jackson. "Gordons is packed with juniper, cassia, cardamom, and peppers while Lillet* contains lots of herbs."
And let's not forget the lemon-peel garnish of the Vesper. All citrus fruits contain their chemicals in hydrocarbons called terpenes, which are oily and bitter; those tiny globules floating on top of your martini are the oil from the lemon that contains the terpenes.
"They give a bitterness and that makes it more of a grown-up taste," Jackson tells us, no doubt causing some horror among those who consider an olive or two bearing their small cargo of salt essential to a proper martini.
"The Vesper martini is quite a subtle drink: well chosen vermouth*, a mix of vodka and gin - understandable given the time - and his choice of garnish is subtle," says Jackson. "While the Vesper isn't one of my personal choices, you can't knock it for class and subtle flavour."
The bar at Dukes Hotel in St James', London, is believed to be the true home of Bond's martini; it was where Fleming used to drink. Dukes bar manager Alessandro Palazzi has consolidated the legend. He's selected lemons for the twist specifically from Italy's Amalfi Coast, he tells us - over a cold, crisp pour.
Second, Palazzi also selected the bar's own vermouth, from a micro distillery called Sacred based in Highgate, London. He reckons it gives a flavour like that of the old-time Kina Lillet* specified by Bond. Sacred supplies Dukes with a dry amber vermouth that Palazzi says is "very English" - the Reg's choice - and a spicy red version, presumably for use in other drinks.

Buy Vietnamese Wife Photo
Dr. Love December 16th, 2011 No Comments
Some of you might be thinking that buying a Vietnamese girl as your wife is a human trade. However many of you do not understand that you are looking at your own perspective rather than on the Vietnamese girl point of view. Do you know that Vietnam is a very poor country where female works in the farm for USD 2 per day. Parents will always encourage their child to work overseas and to marry rich individuals who will be able to provide better for their child. As long as we treat the girl good and respect her for what she is, there is no reason why we should have downgrade the local men and Vietnamese wife.
5 reasons why Malaysian, Singaporean, Chinese should marry Vietnamese
- Vietnamese girl are sweet looking
- They are full with culture to respect man
- They do not deceived the man as long as you treat them good
- They do send money home but reasonable amount. It is a form of respect
- Vietnamese girl are really pretty and down to Earth
- They are not materialistic
- They respect the male and really stay along their side when the man faces difficulties

Arsène Wenger has vowed to continue sending out his side with twin aims - scoring goals AND playing the most stylish football in the Premier League.
Alex Song's toe-poke in Saturday's 4-1 win over Bolton was Arsenal's 1,000th Premier League strike under the Frenchman. During his 14-year tenure, Wenger has successfuly U-turned his team's on-pitch reputation. So when asked about the famous "1-0 to the Arsenal" style from the 1990s, it was no surprise that the manager responded: "Now it's 1000-0 to the Arsenal!
"The Club didn't talk to me about changing the style, they wanted me to do a good job and that's what I tried to do.
"I think the Arsenal fans want to win and be entertained. The target is to win and to win with style. But of course when you do not manage to win with style, you still want to win. But I think both go together.
"We went for a change a few years ago to grow a team together and try to create a spirit and attitude that gets everyone on the same wavelength.
"We have players who are offensively-gifted, talented and we have a collective game that can be played at a high pace so we can create goals and chances. That's what we work on on the training pitch.
"Of course we face massive teams, but this season is an important one because we have to show we can win with massive competitors – Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham, Chelsea. It will be very difficult, but I believe we have our word to say."
And what about his favourite Premier League goal of that 1000?
"How long do you want me to stay here?" replied Wenger. "I'm proud our supporters saw 1000 goals, it's not easy. I've seen some great goals looking back - Henry, Bergkamp, even Adams against Everton - it's difficult to choose.
"The important ones you remember. But you have the important ones, the spectacular ones, like Dennis Bergkamp at Newcastle or Thierry Henry against Tottenham or Liverpool. But you have as well the little ones and the goals that get you a 1-0."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

"Not all the speculation by friends, relatives, prior employees that have some judgment about individuals that may or may not be involved,"
"I think they have to raise the ante. Their pay now is down relative to the pay of many other airlines, and I think what they're worried about is job security."
"The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolically devices."
"O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? Where, indeed? Many a badly stung survivor, faced with the aftermath of some relative's funeral, has ruefully conceded that the victory has been won hands down by the funeral establishment . . ."
"Of all hands in the world, it was not the hand that I wanted or dreamed of touching, ... We, the soldiers who have returned from battle stained with blood, we who have seen our relatives and friends killed before our eyes, we who have attended their funerals and cannot look into the eyes of their parents, we who have come from a land where parents bury their children, we who have fought against you, the Palestinians - we say to you today in a loud and clear voice: Enough of blood and tears. Enough. ...The time for peace has come."
"When asked what single event was most helpful in developing the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein replied, 'Figuring out how to think about the problem'."

Chile out tastes Premier cru Bordeaux, Napa cults
By Leslie Gevirtz
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - A Chilean wine bested two of Bordeaux's Premier crus, two California cult wines and Super Tuscan in a blind tasting by about 100 of New York's top critics, sommeliers and retailers on Monday.
In an experiment similar to the famed "Judgment of Paris" in which California wines were blind tasted against the best of France - and won, the Chileans had a similar, if not quite as surprising result.
The New York tasting was actually a repeat of tastings that had been conducted for critics and connoisseurs in Berlin, Tokyo, Beijing, Amsterdam and London.
The red that captured first place: Errazuriz KAI. Napa Valley's cult classic Opus One was ranked second and Bordeaux's Chateau Haut-Brion came in third. All the wines competing - including Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Tuscany's Sassicaia and Napa's Stag's Leap SLV - were of the 2006 vintage.
None of the wines tasted were cheap, but the five Chileans which included Errazuriz Don Maximiano, which placed fourth, La Cumbre, number six and Vinedo Chadwick - tied for ninth place - cost less; sometimes a lot less.
Errazuriz Kai, which is made mostly of Carmenere grape, retails for about $80 a bottle in the United States, while Opus One 2006, a Bordeaux blend, costs about $160 and Haut-Brion, a Bordeaux, can be had for about $500 a bottle.
Don Maximiano, a Bordeaux blend, carries a retail price of $90 a bottle, while fifth place Chateau Lafite Rothschild commands about $1,000 a bottle.
The La Cumbre, a Syrah, placed sixth at $80; its sister wine Sena, another Bordeaux blend, came in seventh with a price of $100 a bottle. Continued...

Today's Market Movers:
UPSMobile phone maker Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY) rose $1 13/16 to $34 after signing $157 million in contracts to help complete the build-out of global standard for mobile communications (GSM) networks for China's Shandong Mobile Communications Corp. and China Unicom. Prudential Securities analyst Luke Szymczak started coverage of the firm with an "accumulate" rating and a 12-month price target of $37 per share.
Online advertising and direct marketing network provider 24/7 Media (Nasdaq: TFSM) jumped $6 7/8 to $46 3/8 on renewed speculation that it is a takeover target. The major merger rumor floating around features DoubleClick (Nasdaq: DCLK) in the role of the potential suitor and was credited to The Silicon Alley Reporter.
Gambling machine operator Jackpot Enterprises (NYSE: J) rolled $1 3/16 to $9 13/16 after Las Vegas Entertainment Network (Nasdaq: LVEN) filed an unsolicited tender offer with the SEC to acquire the company for $11 per share. Jackpot said it is evaluating the offer. Las Vegas Entertainment, which says it is looking to acquire and develop media and gaming properties and hasn't had any revenues in the past two years, raced up $1 9/16 to $5 3/16.
Digital postage company E-Stamp (Nasdaq: ESTM) delivered a $5 3/8 gain to $22 3/8 on its first day of trading after selling 7 million shares at a price of $17 per share in an initial public offering today. Another Friday IPO, Web content management software provider Interwoven Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), weaved its way $24 higher to $41.
Satellite-based communications services provider PanAmSat Corp. (Nasdaq: SPOT) shot up $1 7/8 to $38 7/16 after Merrill Lynch analyst Thomas Watts raised his near-term rating on the company to "buy" from "accumulate." Parent Hughes Electronics (NYSE: GMH) also gained $3 to $15/16.
DOWNSNetwork multi-protocol packet processors maker Hi/fn Inc. (Nasdaq: HIFN) was crushed for a loss of $36 1/4 to $37 3/4 after the company said two major customers -- reportedly Lucent (NYSE: LU) and Quantum (Nasdaq: QNTM) told the company they will reduce demand for Hi/fn products from previously ordered amounts for the company's fiscal first quarter ending Dec. 31. As a result, Hi/fn expects revenues for the first quarter to be in the range of $10 million, down from Q3's $12.5 million. Hi/fn said it expects Q4 results to come in ahead of First Call's $0.37 consensus estimate.
Travel services provider Preview Travel (Nasdaq: PTVL) gave up $9/16 to $20 9/16 today. The company named Bruce Carmedelle CFO after Thomas Cardy decided to head back to Communication Equity Associates, where he will be COO. For a Foolish take on the company's plans to merge with travel information technology company Sabre Holdings Corp. (NYSE: TSG) and build out Travelocity.com as a new publicly traded company, click here.
Quantum's DLT & Storage Systems Group (NYSE: DSS) enterprise storage moved back $1 7/8 to $11 1/2 today after announcing preliminary fiscal Q2 revenue of $357 million, translating to EPS of $0.34 per share diluted, flat with estimates. President Peter van Cuylenburg said to expect flat revenues and EPS for the following quarter as well. "We expect that the business will return to normal growth rates after the Y2K transition is complete by early calendar year 2000,'' said van Cuylenburg.
Senior housing services company CareMatrix Corp. (Nasdaq: CMDC) was hit for a loss of $2 13/32 to $3 15/32 after the company said it expects Q3 EPS to come in between $0.04 and $0.06 -- and between $0.75 and $0.80 for the full year (not counting any possible write-off of assets) -- missing Wall Street's $0.35 and $1.36 estimates, respectively, by a considerable margin. The company blames difficulty sustaining its development pipeline because of a lack of attractive financing, also noting slower than expected fill-ups at some facilities. The company is cutting back on its development plans.
Asset management services company Conning Corp. (Nasdaq: CNNG) spilled $2 1/32 to $8 27/32 after the company said it doesn't expect to meet analysts' estimates for the second half of 1999. It said to look for EPS of between $0.16 to $0.18 for Q3. First Call's three-analyst consensus estimate was $0.28. Revenues from the company's research and mortgage loan and real estate operations have been disappointing during the quarter.
Promotional products distributor and telemarketing services company HA-LO Industries (NYSE: HMK) dimmed $13/16 to $5 1/8 after the company said it expects to report a Q3 net loss of between $0.03 and $0.05, missing Wall Street's $0.09 consensus estimate. The company anticipates revenues of between $140 million and $150 million, analysts looking for $185 million. Look for results Oct. 25.
Today's Top Stories:FOOL PLATE SPECIAL An Investment Opinion
Xerox Xerocked
Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
Shares of publishing, printing, and copying equipment maker Xerox Corp. (NYSE: XRX) moved back more than 25% this morning after the company said it expects to report "essentially flat" Q3 revenues -- last year's tally was $4.61 billion -- and EPS down 10% to 12% from the year-ago $0.53 figure. Wall Street was looking for a $0.58 per share profit.
Xerox plans to report results on October 18th.
Revenue, particularly in September, was below expectations both in the U.S. and Europe and the company said that hurt operating margins, along with an unfavorable product mix and increased competitions; also thrown in there were some pressures from disappointing results from the company's Fuji Xerox division and economic weakness in Brazil.
"Today's announcement is clearly disappointing," said Xerox President and CEO Rick Thoman, who was named to the post in April after two years carrying an "OO" instead of an "EO" at the company. "However, we are convinced that our strategy of focusing on industry solutions, a broader array of distribution channels and an expanding product and services portfolio is correct and over time will achieve the revenue and earnings benefits it is intended to produce."
With the shares of this iconic American company beaten down this year, it's important to evaluate Xerox's performance not only in terms of black numbers on white paper but in the context of its progress as it works to recreate itself as a "solutions" company -- a technology consultant of sorts -- instead of just a "products" company.
This is a move that many companies looking to monopolize their customers' money and time -- from software to consulting to commerce -- are making now as they look for ways to leverage growth in their traditional core businesses.
The idea is that, with the company's sales force redirected toward specific industry groups, Xerox can respond directly to the specific needs of its customers with customized packages.
Of course, in order to do this successfully Xerox has to make sure it has the best and broadest product offerings in the business, which is where last month's $950 million purchase of Tektronix's (NYSE: TEK) color printing and imaging division comes in. Although the division's revenues were small last year compared to Xerox's, as a member of the Xerox lineup it gives the company a strong position in the color market that will help it challenge Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HP).
It also affords Xerox access to a slew of new distribution channels which, if properly plied, can be turned around to help boost consumer access to the rest of the company's line.
But this redirection effort has also required that the company realign its sales force and with Xerox doing that twice in the past year sales have been disrupted, making investors -- particularly the earnings-consensus obsessed Wall Street community -- wary of the company's ability to deliver on its, and their, expectations of performance. Today's news means disappointment for those who got behind a sales projection the company endorsed last month; revenues were up just 1.3% for the first six months of 1999.
A company exec said at a mid-September conference to look for sales growth of approximately 4%.
The bottom line here for investors thinking long-term should really be less a matter of what they think of Xerox' performance vis-a-vis Wall Street's expectations but rather their assessment of Thoman's ability to pull off the reorganization, both operationally and on the product side, while handling his competition.
In interviews and other public statements, Thoman has expressed optimism. Investors who've bought into that might want to start looking more carefully at Xerox with the stock currently out of favor. But with near-term performance anything but guaranteed and a balance sheet long on debt, some caution is probably warranted.
Jupiter Looms Large After IPO
Richard McCaffery (TMF Gibson)
Whose research do you think all those hot Internet stocks use to pitch investment bankers, anyway?
Internet research firm Jupiter Communications (Nasdaq: JPTR) sold its first shares to the public today at $21 a pop, and shareholders watched as the price doubled by early afternoon.
That gave the New York-based company a market value of around $120 million. Investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (NYSE: DLJ) initially priced the IPO in the $15 to $17 range, boosted it to $18 to $20 yesterday, then sat back as Internet euphoria sent the shares flying.
One thing refreshing about Jupiter: It's easy for investors to understand what the company does. Jupiter spots Internet trends, makes market forecasts, and offers research-oriented seminars and conferences.
It forecasts, for example, that online holiday sales will double to $6 billion in 1999, and skyrocket to $78 billion by 2003. It predicts that kids and teenagers will spend $1.3 billion online in 2002, and that the online travel industry will hit $17 billion by 2003. This is great stuff, the kind of information reporters, researchers, executives, and bankers rely on to pick winning companies, products, and strategies.
Founded in 1994, Jupiter focuses on Internet commerce. The company's flagship offering is an online subscription product called Strategic Planning Services, which details the fast-changing world of Internet technology. Clients subscribe to one or more of the company's SPS offerings, which include monthly reports, weekly notes, an online library, and other detailed services.
Its revenue is growing fast. As of June 30, the company had 654 SPS clients, up from 421 in December 1998 and 145 in December 1997. Jupiter had $14.8 million in 1998 sales, and made $14.4 million in just the first six months of 1999. It's still an Internet company, however, and hasn't made a profit. Last year it lost $2.1 million. It managed to trim losses in the first six months of 1999 to just $130,000.
Losses are understandable for a start-up company in a new industry. Every fast-growing company balances the need to grab market share against near-term profitability.
But no one escapes at least a cursory cash flow statement analysis. On that point, Jupiter is cash flow positive for the first half of 1999 to the tune of about $3.2 million. This is largely due to an increase in deferred revenue, which represents money paid in advance for services like SPS, and is very common in the subscription business. However, it's the first time the company has been cash flow positive since 1996.
Accounts receivable were up 85% from December to June, which is pretty good for a company that grew sales 143% in the first six months of the year. Still, accounts receivable have been a big reason the company hasn't been cash flow positive historically, and investors should watch to make sure the company is balancing fast growth with strong asset management. Jupiter lists no long-term debt on its balance sheet.
Thanks to a sparkling debut, Jupiter is trading at about the same price as one of its competitors, Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR), a market research firm that's done very well for itself. Revenue and net income at the Cambridge, Massachusetts company grew 52% and 34.8%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago. The company has an attractive profit margin of 12.2%, no long-term debt, and has been increasingly cash flow positive over the last three years.
A second rival, the widely known Gartner Group (NYSE: IT), is Jupiter's largest shareholder with a 28% stake. Gartner is expected to compete directly against Jupiter with its Internet commerce products. In addition, Gartner has the right to appoint two of Jupiter's board members, according to the prospectus, which states specifically that Gartner could use its voting power to negatively affect Jupiter. That could make things tough for the company's shareholders.
No question the market opportunity is huge. According to Jupiter's prospectus, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development projects that Internet commerce will hit $1 trillion in revenue by 2005. The company is smart enough to have specialized exclusively on Internet commerce, a single-mindedness that makes analysis easier for investors.
Even though Jupiter's market research has gained a solid reputation, it still lacks Forrester's track record of profitability, especially in terms of operational cash flow. Investors might want to wait until Jupiter demonstrates a consistent ability to generate cash before deciding it's the better investment.
More of Today's Best:More Genentech Shares On the Way
Brian Graney (TMF Panic)
-- So, how would you like to make $2 billion in less than four months? Impossible, some might say. But judging from news out of biotechnology firm Genentech (NYSE: DNA) today, that's exactly what its Swiss parent, Roche Holdings, is set to do. To sum up, Roche bought a 35% stake in Genentech for $3.76 billion and will end up selling a 32.6% stake in the company back to the public for a total possible price tag of $5.7 billion -- all in less than four months' time. Pretty nifty, eh? But instead of immediately decrying Roche's actions as some sort of unfair financial sleight of hand, investors should take a look at how the transactions have affected the relative attractiveness of Genentech as a possible investment.
FOOL ON THE HILL An Investment Opinion
The Qwest-US West Merger
Bill Mann (TMF Otter)
-- In the ruckus that followed the MCI Worldcom (Nasdaq: WCOM)/Sprint Communications (NYSE: FON) $129 billion merger announcement last week, there was the inevitable speculative banter about the "next" big merger candidate in telecommunications. But the MCI/Sprint merger still has huge hurdles to cross before it comes much closer to reality. Lost in the noise was the news of two previously announced and ongoing mergers, the September 28 closing of the Global Crossing (Nasdaq: GBLX)/Frontier merger, and the progress to shareholder vote in the even more substantial merger between Qwest Communications (Nasdaq: QWST) and US West (NYSE: USW). The Qwest merger is a watershed of sorts: a symbolic recognition of the market power of the new communications carriers some 15 years after the breakup of Ma Bell.
Mortgage.com Opts Out of Agreement With Intuit
Richard McCaffery (TMF Gibson)
-- Online mortgage services company Mortgage.com (Nasdaq: MDCM) has canceled one of its two agreements with software maker Intuit (Nasdaq: INTU) to pursue opportunities with other online venders. Mortgage.com officials said the number of loans Intuit's online mortgage service, QuickenMortage, had driven to Mortgage.com had been declining and that the agreement prevented the company from working with other companies in the industry. The cancellation comes in the wake of Intuit's announcement yesterday of an agreement to purchase Rock Financial for $370 million in stock to add to its online mortgage services capabilities.
Western Resources Tired of POI
Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
-- Looking to provide earnings-focused investors with increased reliability in its results, Kansas utility Western Resources (NYSE: WR) today said it's considering alternatives for its 85% ownership in money-losing residential security alarm company Protection One (NYSE: POI). "Western Resources has experienced some short-term financial challenges with regard to its Protection One investment," said Western Chairman and CEO David Witting, "and those challenges must be managed." Protection One's stock has fallen considerably over the past year, which has taken its toll on Western's returns.

The Detonator is a device in the Grand Theft Auto series that can be used to remotely activate a bomb or grenade, allowing the player to set off the explosives at exactly the moment they desire. However, if the players walks too far away from the explosive lying on the ground it is very likely to just vanish, requiring the player to stay close to it after it has been thrown.
HUD icons
- Remote Car Bomb in GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA Advance, GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA: Vice City Stories and GTA: Chinatown Wars.
- Remote Grenade in GTA: Vice City, GTA: Liberty City Stories and GTA: Vice City Stories.
- Satchel Charge in GTA: San Andreas.
- RC Raider controller (only used by Zero) in GTA: San Andreas.
- In the original PS2 version of GTA Vice City, after achieving 100% completion, the Detonator won't disappear after using it because of the infinite ammo reward. A way to remedy this without dying or getting arrested, is to go through the metal detectors at Escobar International Airport or at the Leaf Links golf club. If Tommy has remote grenades, this will replace them with regular grenades. This has been fixed in later versions.
- In GTA San Andreas, a bug occurs that if the player places a Satchel Charge in any place with the infinite ammo cheat and they use the detonator, it will never disappear, unless if they change the weapon in the projectile slot (e.g. grenades or molotovs).
- In GTA San Andreas, if CJ uses the Detonator inside any casino (without place charges), it will attract the guards' attention, but the player won't gain police attention unless they attack the guards.
- In the mission Wear Flowers in Your Hair in GTA San Andreas, if Zero is killed while he is sitting on the bench playing with the RC Raider, he will drop a Detonator. This was intentional, as the game developers wanted it to look like he was holding a remote control for the RC Raider that he was flying.
- Sticky Bombs in The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V can be manually detonated, although the detonator itself doesn't physically appears in these games.

Sky Sports pundits give their predictions in the Six Nations Charity Challenge
Click here for all our Six Nations markets
Greenwood odds-on to win pundit tipping challenge
Will Greenwood is now a massive odds-on shot to wrap up the Sky Bet Six Nations Charity Challenge after a third successive winning prediction as he backed Ireland to score a try as the first scoring play in their crushing victory over Italy – Jonny Sexton obliging at odds of 15/8 to return £93.75 plus the £1,000 weekly prize.
With a £1,000 bonus going to the overall winner, plus stakes from the pundits' outright bets, it's hard to see anyone of the Sky Sports rugby pundits catching the World Cup winning centre in the final round of matches.
Greenwood (Ireland), Alan Quinlan (England), Rory Lawson (Ireland) and Dewi Morris (France) all have hopes of bolstering their charity pots with wins in the outright market.
1st: Will Greenwood (Borne Charity) - £3,237.50
2nd: Scott Quinnell (Wish Upon A Star) - £1,275.00
3rd: Dewi Morris (Wooden Spoon Charity) - £72.62
4th: Stuart Barnes (Donald Woods Foundation) - £55
5th: Rory Lawson (Bill McLaren Foundation) - £45.45
Tied 6th: Alan Quinlan (Bliss) - £0
Tied 6th: Ieuan Evans (Glaze Prostate Charity) - £0
Seven members of the Sky Sports Rugby Club are going head-to-head to raise funds for the charity of their choice in our first Sky Bet Six Nations Charity Challenge. With £1,000 up for grabs each week – plus a £1,000 bonus on offer to the overall winner – you can bet the rivalry between the experts will be fierce! The rules of the challenge are clear. Each pundit makes one outright prediction in this year's Six Nations and then one weekly bet for each round of matches. The pundit who wins the most money across the six selections wins the £1,000 bonus for their chosen charity. Wales defend the crown this year but which of the Sky Sports pundits will come out on top in our Challenge?

Hey guys, just demo'ed my old mstr. bath due to a leaky shower pan, cut out oldrotted framing, sistered some new studs. I have layout & frame in for the new shower however, I am putting a new wall up on the back side of the shower between the toilet and the shower. I am a little confused. The furring strips in theceiling for the drywall are1 x3's.&for mynewwall framing Iam using 2x4's. Will the new drywall just butt against the outside of the new wall?.. Here are a few pics..
#1 It looks like you used unpressure lumber for a bottom plate, A really big no no when in direct contact with concrete.
#2 It looks like for some reason your ceiling joist are 24" not 16" in center.
Going to have to use 3/4 drywall on that ceiling.
Ceiling always need to go up first, walls are started at the top not the bottom, and there needs to be about a 1/2" gap at the bottom.
Looks like you missing a piece of 1 X 3.
Why would you add 2 X 4's? There not needed and will throw off all the nailers for the wall sheetrock.
I didnt use pt because I read alot & it stated that once pt dries it will shrink & crack the mortar then the tile... Also, the 2x4's are anywhere from 15 3/4" to 16-1/2" apart. House was built in 69. So what your saying is to install drywall ceiling first then frame new wall??
I added the 2x4's on the just that side for support for the new wall going up...
Not sure where you got the info about using pressure treated as a bottom plate but that's building 101 to never have wood in direct contact with concrete.
All the wall framing needs to go up before the ceilings go up.
I will have to find the stuff I read. Maybe I got it confused by reading so much. I'll change the framing for the mortar bed to pt. I have to just figure out the wall issue, today had a mental meltdown, & was about scrap the whole project..
Ok. Tore out what I had. Started fresh. Top plate in first. Plumb bob to pressure treated bottom plate. Started measuring & cutting studs. Pics to follow...
I'm guessing what you were thinking of was a PT curb? I reframed our basement bathroom shower and originally framed the shower curb out of PT wood along with the bottom plates. While it's the right type of wood to use, the better alternative is to use bricks and mortar to create the shower curb (advised by folks on here), so I ripped up the curb and did it in brick & mortar. Now it's solid as a rock.
Scott....what was your old shower pan made of and how old was it?
The curb was pt 2x4's, pre-pitch mortar, pvc liner, & mortar bed. It was really poor craftsmanship... Hence, the leak, rot, demo & remodel... Not sure how old it was but the house was built in 69.

Well. Busy this weekend finishing framing the dividing wall between the throne & shower, & the shower niche. I went with pt 2x4's for the curb, then regular kd for the framing. 2x6 blocking on bottom for the pvc liner. Roughed in new exhaust fan. Tomorrow going to install a 3 switch gangbox for light, fan, & outlet. Snapped a few pics... For my first remodel, I am happy withmy progress & results so far..

Im starting to learn how to use materials in Zbrush. I'm coming from a Myay/mental ray background. I was wondering if anyone can answer a-few things.
1st- I have a material set. i save it out. I fill my object with it. I close Zbrush then reopen it. Why aren't my saved materials loaded? Why are my objects being assigned new materials.
I then load my materials, but they reassign themselves to whatever objects as if I had never filled those objects with other materials. I then refill my objects with loaded material the way they should be. I then load another material. The saved material that I loaded first disapears and is replaced by what I just loaded in the materials menu. WTF? Why can't I get my materials back at startup automatically assigned and loaded like I saved them?
2ND How do I make more than 1 instance of a material with different settings in my materials menu?
here is what Im working on. I plan to have several different mat's on it in the end.

First let me tell you that I jumped on the longer eyelash hype a year ago by using the Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash conditioner with good results (length more than thickness) but it took about 10-12 weeks before I started to notice any results.
I have now been on Latisse for 4 weeks and I'm already noticing a increase of the amount of eyelashe and length of my eyelashes. I am using it on my eyebrows too as they have thinned greatly at the ends and I'm seeing more hairs there too!
The drop bottle and individual applicators makes it easy to use and easy to travel with. I do have blue eyes and they are still blue; I know that if you actually get the product in your eyes there is a chance it can darken light eyes but getting it in my eyes hasn't been an issue at all so I'm not worried about that.
So far I am very impressed with Latisse and will update my review as I continue to use the product and upload photos to show the change also.

delay evaluation inside RecurrencTable?
My first attempt to simulate an AR(1) process was
RecurrenceTable[{a[n] == 0.8*a[n - 1] + RandomReal[{-1, 1}],
a[0] == 100}, a, {n, 1, 20}]
which of course failed because RandomReal was only evaluated once.
Is there some way to get a new evaluation of RandomReal for each n (*inside* RecurrenceTable)?

PS Sorry if this repeats. I posted this question days ago and it has not yet appeared.

Hi there-
While I certainly understand your desire (and even need) to know the costs you should expect to incur with your desire improvements, I NEVER think it is wise to make the dollars your priority by asking that question first.
Here are just a few of the questions I think are a lot more important to get answered BEFORE you ask about the dollars:
- Is the surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery?
-Is the facility certified by JCAHO or AAAASF?
-Who is going to give me anesthesia?
-Who is going to take care of me in the recovery room?
And those are just the beginning....
In other words, you really should be a lot more worried about being safe and happy after your surgery, and a lot less worried (at least at first) about how much being safe and happy will cost.
If you search for a good price, you will find one... But in my Orlando Plastic Surgery and Skin Care Center, I see at least a couple of women every week who wish that could take back a bad decision they made earlier- to let someone who was under-qualified do surgery on them just because they charged less....
Here is some advice on finding a plastic surgeon you like and can trust:

personally identifiable information as required by law and when we

property or safety of Interleukin or others, respond to claims
and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal
process served on us.
Customer samples are processed in our state-of-the art
CLIA-certified laboratory with the utmost standards of quality and
according to government regulations.
Your DNA sample will only be tested for the information
requested. Results will be provided by mail to the address
designated or electronically via a secure, password protected
Website. No one outside our laboratory will have access to
the results unless directed to do so in writing. This
includes family members.
To further protect your privacy, we will destroy samples within
ten days after completing your requested test.
We will contact customers using the method of
communication they specify. Information will not be
communicated to any other individual unless the customer directs us
to do so in writing or it is required by law.
If a customer decides to terminate his or her account
with Interleukin, we will delete the customer's user account,
access and personally identifiable information from our
system. However, we are required by law to
archive and retain copies of the test report for 7 years.
Some people worry that once they know a genetic fact
about themselves, they could be forced to share that information
with an insurer or employer. The United States instituted a
new law on May 21, 2008 called the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which protects Americans against
unfair treatment from employers and insurers on the basis of
genetic information. As a result, you are not required to
disclose genetic information to an employer or insurer, nor can
they legally discriminate against you.
There are also state laws that prevent insurers,
employers and others from using genetic test results for
discriminatory purposes. You may have additional protection under
these laws, depending on where you are located.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers
who are California residents and who have provided Interleukin with
"personal information" (as that term is defined in Section 1798.83)
to request certain information about the disclosure of that
information to third parties for their direct marketing
purposes. If you are a California resident with questions
regarding this, please contact Interleukin at email@example.com
or at Interleukin Genetics, Inc., 135 Beaver Street, Waltham,
Massachusetts 02452, U.S.A.
Canadian citizens, except under circumstances defined by
law, are entitled to access their own Personal Information
collected by Interleukin by writing to: Interleukin Genetics, Inc.,
135 Beaver Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02452, U.S.A. We may ask
you to pay an administrative fee for accessing or copying your
information, but will inform you of the anticipated charges and
confirm that you want us to proceed before processing your request.
If you believe that the personally identifiable information about
you that we have collected is incomplete or inaccurate, we will
correct the information upon verification of the omission or error
and of the identity of the person requesting the change. If you
wish additional information about our personal identifiable
management, to access, correct or have us investigate any matters
in relation to your personally identifiable information, please
contact us at the address provided above.
You should be aware that the United States and other
countries have not harmonized their privacy regulations. Because
Interleukin and its servers is located in the United States, we
have written our Privacy Policy to satisfy United States
regulations. By registering as a customer, you expressly agree to

protection set out in this Privacy Policy.

transition such as a merger or an acquisition by another company,

Scout's No. 30 overall recruit, Cody Riley, verbally committed to UCLA on Friday, he tells Scout.
"I decided to head to UCLA and I feel like it translates directly from Sierra Canyon to UCLA, academically," Riley said. "It's a great academic institution. On the basketball side it's a powerhouse. It's legendary with John Wooden coaching there. It's going to be easy to transfer my game and my personality to that culture."
Riley took his official visit to UCLA this past weekend. He also considered USC, Kansas, Oklahoma and Connecticut.
"After going through it with the family and my coach and everyone that is close to me in my circle, it was a tough decision," he said.
"It was tough talking to Bill Self and letting him know," he added. "That's a great program, but we kind of knew. We would have conversations with Duane Broussard and [Steve] Alford and it was like talking to family and that's what I was looking for, a family atmosphere."
During the beginning of Riley's junior high school season, he was open about the fact that UCLA was the leader in his recruitment. He said as time wore on, his relationship strengthened and ultimately that led him to be a Bruin.
"With the more time came a stronger relationship," Riley said. "That's the only thing that was holding me back. I also met with the AD. That was a great conversation and it went well."
A 6-foot-7, 250-pound power forward, Riley played for Phoenix Phamily on the Nike EYBL circuit this past spring and summer. Riley averaged 13.3 points and 7.9 rebounds through 21 games.
"I see myself fitting in perfect," Riley said. "I'm not a selfish guy. I respect the game of basketball. Having conversations with Duane about Jalen, he says we will fit together perfectly. I feel like I can play with anyone in the country. I just love winning. I'm just going to make sure we do that."
Riley is regarded as the No. 30 overall recruit and the No. 6 power forward prospect.
UCLA moves to No. 3 in Scout's 2017 class rankings with the addition of Cody Riley. Riley joins a class that also includes Jaylen Hands, Jalen Hill and LiAngelo Ball.
"It's going to be great," he said about going to UCLA. "The goal is to win a national championship at UCLA. You have to do historic things in order to leave your stamp there. So the goal is to win a national championship."

MERIDIAN GALLERY - 535 Powell St San Francisco, CA 94108
An evening of immersion into the inspiring timbers of an unusual collection of instruments. Allow yourself to connect with deep listening… to the sound, your senses, your inner space. Inserra will present also a visual art installation called Laugrafia, a work done on slides treated with a scratching technique.
Laura Inserra is a vibrant and talented composer, multi-instrumentalist, teacher and artistic director. She is a classically trained musician with a strong background in improvisation and minimalist music. A native of Sicily, her work in Italy is well-known, including integral participation in the composition of numerous movie scores and the artistic direction of innovative live productions.
An internationally acclaimed Hang player, Laura has collaborated with various artists globally. The Hang has been dubbed as "the new instrument of this Millennium". Her performances display ancient and modern instruments and are infused with a unique blend of musical inspiration and melodic harmonies which deeply resonate with audiences worldwide.
Inserra performed internationally in prestigious festivals and theaters in Italy and the US that include: The Colosseum (Rome), Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome), Teatro Olimpico (Rome), The Chapel of the Chimes (Oakland), CounterPULSE (SF), NOHSpace (SF) San Francisco City Hall, Grace Cathedral (SF) and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (SF) among others.
For many years now, she has been involved in the artistic direction of multi-disciplinary performances in Europe and in the US. In 2007 she moved to the Bay Area and she founded Samavesha, a multidisciplinary performing art and music non-profit organization based out of Berkeley. Samavesha performs with local and international artists with the mission of bringing performing art and music events to the community, exploring the intersection of traditional art forms with contemporary artistic languages, and creating the awareness of the vital importance of creativity and art in human's lives as a source of a healthy living. More info at www.LauraInserra.com
Audiences worldwide are not only mesmerized by this woman but also captivated by her virtuosity, profound musicality, and the passion that she brings on the stage.
"Laura Inserra's Hang playing is captivating. She effortlessly floats her melody lines on top of intricate rhythmic expressions, dancing gracefully. It truly sounds like more than one person playing the Hang. Listening carefully, you hear brilliant control and cascading multiple parts all played flawlessly together. Laura truly creates magical soundscape experiences with the Hang. A must hear!" - Lumin White - Recording Engineer at Santa Rosa Symphony.

North Carolina Sales Tax Holiday Begins Aug. 3
Date: August 1, 2007
RALEIGH – North Carolina families will save some money this weekend by shopping for clothes and back-to-school supplies during the state's sixth annual sales tax holiday. Shoppers get a break from paying taxes on a wide range of items including computers, athletic equipment, notebooks, pens and pencils during the holiday, which begins at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Aug. 3 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5.
"The sales tax holiday helps families stretch their budgets as they get students ready for the coming school year," said Reginald Hinton, Acting Secretary of the Department of Revenue.
Consumers will not pay state or local sales tax on clothes, footwear and school supplies costing $100 or less per item; sports and recreation equipment costing $50 or less per item; computers (including the central processing unit, monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers) costing $3,500 or less per item; and printers and computer supplies costing $250 or less per item.
Some items that qualify as school supplies are book bags, lunch boxes, reference books, paper, crayons and markers. Sports and recreation equipment includes athletic shoes, goggles, shin guards, shoulder pads, helmets and other items that are worn. Computer supplies include printers, electronic schedulers and personal digital assistants, computer diskettes, printer paper and ink cartridges.
For a more complete list of items that are included as part of the sales tax holiday, visit the N.C. Department of Revenue's website at http://www.dornc.com/taxes/sales/salestax_holiday.html
The sales tax holiday was enacted by the General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Mike Easley in 2001.

thomas m. wilkinson
Thomas M. Wilkinson, 38, formerly of Brewster and Mount Kisco, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep at the home he shared with his fiancée, Heather Ripley, and her sons Ethan and Anthony Ripley, in Meadville, Pa., on April 20, 2012. Born on November 14, 1973, in Carmel, Thomas grew up in the Tonetta Lake area of Brewster and was a graduate of Brewster High School. He is survived by his mother, Julianne Burdick Dyas, and stepfather John Lane of Spring Hill, Florida and his father, Gary Wilkinson, and stepmother Lisa Curtin of NY. He also leaves behind his 10-year-old daughter Isabella Wilkinson (Stephanie Tchorzyk), his 3-year-old son Jesse Wilkinson (Stephanie Yagasits), brother Robert Wilkinson and his grandmother Eileen Burdick, all of Brewster.
Thomas was predeceased by his grandparents, Patricia and Harold Wilkinson, whom he spent a lot of time with fishing and swimming in Tonetta Lake, and Patricia Mayes Burdick Hall and Ralph Burdick, who introduced him to the blacktopping business and the heavy equipment that Thomas operated with skill and ease. Thomas went on to become a heavy equipment operator for various companies in the area.
Thomas is also survived by his Uncle Robert (Gloria) Wilkinson, Uncle Tom Wilkinson, Uncle Ralph 'Joe' (Linda) Burdick Jr., Uncle Frederick (Brenda) Burdick, all of Brewster; Aunt Susan (Dan) Adelsperger of Eureka, Ca.; and Aunt Dorothea (Michael) Cadigan of LaGrange; and many cousins.
He fell in love with Heather and followed his heart two years ago and moved to Pennsylvania, where he enjoyed working around the house, cooking, taking care of the land and tending to his animals. He missed his family dearly, especially his two lovely children Isabella and Jesse, but he found solace in the peace and serenity that came with life in rural Pennsylvania. Thomas made friends easily wherever he went; those close to him knew that he was a friend who would give the shirt off his back. He was always willing to lend a hand and he was a great listener. Thomas will be remembered for his kind heart, helpful nature, thoughtfulness and care, concern and love when it came to family and friends. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed by all.
There will be a private, family ceremony at Milltown Rural Cemetery in Brewster.

BricsCAD startup LISP bug fixed
In my previous post I have a real problem with BricsCAD, I related my then-latest interaction with the Bricsys support system:
Steve Johnson
I don't know if this is a BricsCAD problem or a DOSLib one, so I am reporting it to both Bricsys and Dale at McNeel. I'm also not sure if this was happening in earlier versions.
If I load DOSLib during an S::STARTUP call and then use the (dos_msgbox) function later in that call, this fails the first time round because BricsCAD things the function is not defined. Opening a second drawing results in the call working as expected. I've chopped down our startup routine so you have an example.

Week of March 5, 2012
Contact: Alice Bender, (202) 328-7744
AICR HealthTalk
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN
American Institute for Cancer Research
Q: I want to eat more whole grains, but besides changing my bread and cereal, what else can I do?
A: Brown rice, as well as whole-wheat pasta and whole-grain tortillas, are just the beginning of ways to add whole grains to your meals. There's also wheat bulgur, whole-wheat couscous, quinoa (high in protein and gluten-free) and teff, an Ethiopian grain used in their "enjera" flatbread. Corn kernels are classified as a vegetable, but whole-grain cornmeal and polenta are whole grains. Amaranth is another high-protein, gluten-free whole grain. These whole grains can be cooked in just 10 to 20 minutes, but some whole grains take longer to cook, such as barley, wheat berries and wild rice. Freekeh ("free-kuh") is an ancient whole grain (usually wheat) that's new on the scene for most of us. It is harvested when still green, then roasted and rubbed, which reportedly delivers a uniquely smoky-nutty flavor that works well as a side dish and in soups and stews. You won't find it everywhere yet, but availability is growing. It cooks in about 25 to 30 minutes. Many people think of whole grains principally as a source of fiber, which is important now that evidence is even stronger about the role foods high in fiber can play in reducing risk of colon and breast cancers. But whole grains' role in protecting our health is much more. Compared to refined grains, they contain more protective antioxidant compounds and whole grains also have higher levels of magnesium and vitamin B-6, nutrients that are low in many Americans' diets.
Q: Can eating disorders occur even in middle age?
A: Absolutely! In fact, incidence of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, as well as disordered patterns of eating and problems with distorted body image, may be increasing among middle age and older adults that many consider low risk for these problems. Eating disorders and disordered eating patterns often flare up at times of transition in life in an effort to feel in control of something. Clinicians treating eating disorders report that many adults seeking treatment are those who had eating disorders earlier in life, whether or not they were actually diagnosed or treated, though some may first develop them later in life. Stress related to divorce, infidelity, job loss or change, or kids leaving the nest are possible triggers. Women of all ages are especially targeted in cultural messages that place extremely high value on thinness. For vulnerable women, that can give messages about the health benefits of limiting midlife weight gain an undesirable emotional impact. Changing self-talk and avoiding restrictive diets can help steer away from sliding into an eating disorder, but once one has developed, treatment from a multidisciplinary team of qualified professionals is essential. Regardless of age, appropriate treatment works. The National Eating Disorders Association lists some questions to ask when considering treatment options. Research is clear that overweight and obesity increase risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. But reducing that risk does not mean pushing weight to unrealistically low and unhealthy levels that require rigid rules for "perfect" eating. Most importantly, we all need to be clear that excess body fat defines a health risk, not who you are as a person.
Our Mission: The American Institute for Cancer Research champions the latest and most authoritative scientific research from around the world on cancer prevention and survival through diet, weight and physical activity, so that we can help people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce their cancer risk.
We have contributed over $105 million for innovative research conducted at universities, hospitals and research centers across the country. Find evidence-based tools and information for lowering cancer risk, including AICR's Recommendations for Cancer Prevention, at www.aicr.org.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Police say a special education teacher at Mesa Ridge High School is facing charges of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust.
Roger Thomas French, Jr., 31, has resigned from his job at Mesa Ridge.
Police say this investigation began on the evening of Wednesday, January 8, 2014, when a school resource officer at Mesa Ridge notified the Colorado Springs Police Department about an allegation of an inappropriate relationship between French and a female student at the school.
A part of Widefield School District 3, Mesa Ridge is located in unincorporated El Paso County. Colorado Springs Police say they are investigating this case because the alleged assault happened inside city limits.
The Crimes Against Children Unit was called in and determined that there is probable cause to arrest French. No booking photo is currently available.
Mesa Ridge principal Kathi Mata sent a note to parents making them aware of the situation Thursday.

A Manhattan Story
Deusa Europa
You, sensuous nymph
voluptuous goddess
of sand of sweat and scents
of silky reds
of massive legs
of cream and kermes
of ancient crimson
fluids rushing
at modern speeds
from a single thought
to the core of your gender
down the pathway of sins
to the furnace
where anything is possible
and everything is rendered
Cover me in the naked satin
of your milky and fiery skin
malleable red clay blanket
of Mediterranean ilk
forged in blood-stained
salty black water
and medieval steel
made impure in the new land
of milk and honey
Dodgers and Yankees
and cable bills
Quench my thirst
with your left nipple
pink and deformed,
sweet and bitter
at the cusp of giving in
with ancient lust
and modern glitter
motherly in its eagerness
to please
utterly selfless and blind
as only true love can be
Let me rest these dirty curls
on the pillows of your thighs
warm and meaty,
let me play
let me lie along your side
like a motherless child
drawing castles, knights and horses
dragons, damsels in distress
with my reckless, needy fingers
in the sandbox of your sex.

Rajesh:this is one of those lightning fast drawings, where I just draw some contour lines and attemp at to convey the volume and weight of the fuigure with thick, bold strokes instead of painstainkingly render the life out of it. I guess, the idea is to explain the forms with as minimum shading as possible.
Thank you, Ryan

Lori: Horrible. It's all horrible.
Rachel: To be able to fly? To be smoke, or a wolf; to know the night, and live in it forever? That's not so bad. You call us monsters, but when you dream, it's of flying and changing, and living without death. You envy us. And what you envy...
Lori: ... we destroy.
Why? WHY? You have to ask?! Because I made an unbreakable vow...in the name of my family, in the name of Mother Gaia, and in the name of all Heaven, I will fulfill my duty as a Seraph to ERADICATE ALL DEMONS!...as well as traitors like you.
Why do you even want to kill vampires? Sure, they're snobby and insufferable... Uh... I mean, I'd imagine so, anyway...
—Melissa Hellrune, on Tiffany Winters' proposal to go hunt her ex-schoolmate and ex-rival.
It was a dark and spooky Halloween night
When I, Dracula, thought that I would invite
All of my freaky friends who were there in a flash
To a big dance party; a Monster Mash!
Wolfman, Frankenstein and Mummy were there
While Medusa fed some mice to the snakes in her hair
It was a groovy good time for a vampire bat
To fly out of his coffin and-
-wait, what was that?
Tis I!
Never fear, Simon Belmont is here
To destroy evil monsters and all you hold dear
I will end your cruel necromancing
Actually, we were just dancing...
To Hell, demon beasts, from whence you came
You're in Castlevania, this isn't a game
Now run away, free this land of its chains
As God as my witness, I shall see you all slain!
— Star Bomb, "Crasher-Vania"
"The Doves are so childish, too. It's just a coffee shop....so what if some Ghouls are just brewing some coffee?"

"I've made this recipe many times, and have really enjoyed it. The green pepper kicks it up a notch from just a regular egg salad."

More Greenwald Dishonesty
If you've read my grand fisking (the real thing, that is, not just the Cliff Notes) you might find it hard to imagine what new kind of dirt there could possibly be on someone as serially mendacious as he. Ace and Patterico have the goods. And if anyone other than Glenn Greenwald has recently posted a comment about Glenn Greenwald on your blog using the IP address 126.96.36.199 or 188.8.131.52, so do you.
UPDATE: Slightly shorter Greenwald: Them's not sock puppets, them's my roommates. All of 'em. Even Ryan Allen, the guy who emailed me from across the house to confirm my C.V., rather than leave his precious computer for five whole minutes to talk to me face to face. I sure got him back, though, by sending him a perfectly sterile, coulda-been-written-to-a-perfect-stranger email response that didn't even acknolwedge any of our gazillion past conversations when I've bragged to him about my time at Wachtell before. That'll teach him to email me from the living room, the big geek.

i want this to appeal to those that know what i'm talking about when you're listening to music and it hits that certain low frequency and all of the sudden you hear the door panals start to vibratle/rattle and make noise. it doesn't have to be loud, i'm still stock bottom end radio w/ regular speakers, and it can be under 10, all it takes is that frequency and suddenly there's a bunch of woodpeckers in my doors in a frenzy.
what have you tried doing about it and has it worked to eliminate all the rattling?
