Cornegliano Laudense Vacation Packages
Cornegliano Laudense is a popular place to visit while you are in Lodi as a large number of the area's most popular attractions are nearby. Two of the most interesting places to see are the fabulous Isola Carolina Park and the remarkable Laboratorio Degli Archetipi Theater. Two more worthwhile attractions that are nearby Cornegliano Laudense are Vittoria Plaza and the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art.
Take a break from the tourist trail and play a game of golf at the Zoate Golf Club in Milan.
Those looking for sporting action can cheer on local heroes the Amatori Rugby Milano rugby union team in winter and the Brera Calcio F.C. soccer team at the iconic Arena Civica, Milan, the city's sporting heart and soul. Afterwards, follow the local sports obsessives to a nearby pub or bar to relive the match's greatest moments.
When it's time to slow down after a day spent exploring the charming streets of Cornegliano Laudense, check in to one of the many local short and long stay accommodation options. Check out the rooms, rates and amenities at the Una Hotel Lodi, the Raya Hotel Motel, Mediglia, or the Hotel Lodi.

Joomla FlippingBook 1.5.9 Nulled + addons
Most galleries and photo albums for Joomla CMS offer different effects and navigation options. Yet no matter how beautiful the effects and how convenient the navigation, they are merely photo albums, like thousands of others. We offer a totally new approach to creating galleries, photo albums, catalogs, and portfolios.
FlippingBook creates a spectacular 3D effect of flipping pages. Its applications are boundless.
Below are just a few key areas where this component will prove really useful.
* You are in a creative occupation and would like to show website visitors your portfolio... and do so in a really impressive and memorable way. Post your images on the pages of FlippingBook Joomla Gallery. Each page can have a different link that will take visitors to a detailed description of your work, your website, or a downloadable presentation.* You sell merchandise or services and would like to improve their presentation. Post images of your merchandise and brief descriptions on the pages of the book. In this case page links can serve to direct visitors to the ordering page or reference manuals. Using SWF files as book pages gives you additional functionality – animation, any number of links, interactive elements, and the like.* Your company publishes a magazine, or your customers are accustomed to seeing your printed catalog. In this case our component is indispensable. Your customers will be able to see a new issue of your magazine, catalog, or presentation without leaving their homes. A click on the page opens an enlarged image of the catalog page.* You simply need to present your photo album in an unusual way. All you need to do is post your photos on the pages of FlippingBook Joomla Gallery, and they will make a lasting impression on your visitors.

I love music! And I love traveling too. I've sold all of my possessions, bought a sailboat, and sailed through the Panama Canal, Colombia and the Caribbean with my husband. But after plugging a hole in the sailboat in the middle of the ocean with a wine cork, I realized working in the music business was a little safer endeavor. I love all kinds of music, love to go to concerts, love to create funky landscaping, love to do anything outdoors, and love my two dogs.

Mark Zuckerberg Taxes
February 8, 2012 by staff
Mark Zuckerberg Taxes, Facebook's upcoming IPO will make founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg a billionaire — but it will also stick him with an eye-popping tax bill that could reach as high as $2 billion.
"I personally have never seen a bill into the billions — close, but not quite," said Anthony Nitti, a Colorado-based CPA and partner with Withum, Smith and Brown. "I talked to a few buddies of mine at the Big Four accounting firms, and it's something not many people have seen."
The giant tax hit is a consequence of Zuckerberg's plan to exercise stock options worth billions. The move will significantly increase his ownership stake in the company he founded eight years ago.
Zuckerberg currently owns almost 414 million shares of Facebook, but he also holds options to buy another 120 million shares at the bargain price of 6 cents a piece. Facebook said in its IPO paperwork that Zuckerberg plans to exercise those options and will sell some of his shares during Facebook's initial offering to cover the tax bill.
The type of options Zuckerberg holds are taxable as ordinary income when they're exercised, even if the shareholder hangs onto the shares and doesn't sell them. That means Zuckerberg will owe taxes on the difference between what he pays for his Facebook shares — 6 cents — and their market value the day he exercises the options.
Facebook said in its IPO filing that it values its shares at $29.73. At that price, Zuckerberg's options windfall would be worth $3.6 billion.

Warning: do not install 2.1.1

I suppose I was lucky if it was a matter of hardware: I installed it from a downloaded archive on my Kobo Touch purchased in France at the very beginning of this year, and it works really better than 2.0.
It works also on a Kobo Touch I purchased for my daughter one month ago, which never ran a firmware prior to 2.0 (I installed firmware 2.0 before I copied any book in order to avoid useless and space-wasting copies of the covers in the .kobo/images directory).
The French Dictionary is no longer the inept one included in 2.0, but a more comprehensive Larousse, and language detection now works.
I did not experience any crash since I use this firmware. Of course I'm looking forward to 2.1.2, as some bugs of 2.0 are still not corrected:
For instance, if you close a book you opened for the first time, the cover of the previous one appears as the device is put in sleep mode. If you light then put to sleep again, the right one appears. It will be reproduced any time you open another book, even if you have opened it before. So it is not caused by, say, a lack of copy of the cover at first. I think this is a programming thoughtlessness.

In May 2003, an Arizona man who'd bought dozens of sealed boxes at an auction of unclaimed property made a horrifying discovery: the bodies of three plastic-wrapped infants, one of which had become mummified over the years. Police traced them to Dianne Odell, 50, a mother of eight children, who admitted the babies were hers but claimed that they'd died of natural causes.
Justice Deferred....
In 1989, police had found the remains of a long-dead infant in a suitcase in the trunk of a car Odell had abandoned. The statute of limitations on manslaughter had saved her then from prosecution. She maintained that the fetus was the product of a rape by her father, and stillborn.
Baby-Killer's Fate....
Odell said her own domineering mother had forced her into teen prostitution and murdered what she viewed as "bastard children". Both parents were dead and unable to contradict her. Would Odell's stories sway the jury and buy her the mercy her babies were never granted? Or would she be forced to face the consequences of bringing innocent lives into the world - only to end them in cold blood.

Not today, Not today.
I've spent the last 2 days decorating and cleaning up the house for Brynlees second birthday on Tuesday. That said, considering how tired I am I felt bad when I didn't go to church this morning. Do any other mommas feel bad when you skip a week?
Comment deleted
same here, the timing is weird here. I still feel guilty even though we read bible storie every night to make up for it.
Comment deleted
True, and that is a great routine to start early, honestly we aim for reading each night but it usually ends up being 5 times a week and skipping a night here and there
haha that's what we do too! It makes us feel les guilty!

While I was never a big fan of the old timey photo booths taking up residence along east coast boardwalks, Tokyo's new Samurai Studio is something to get excited about.
Starting on October 27, the Samurai Studio will be opening in Tokyo's historical Asakusa district with a wardrobe full of authentic replica gear for both men and women. Each set of armor was painstakingly crafted (some of which were used in samurai dramas on Japanese TV) and include accurate representations of armor worn during the Sengoku and Edo periods as well as ones modeled after the famous samurai Sanada Yukimura and Naoe Kanetsugu. And with packages starting at 4,900 yen (US$41), these are affordable memories worth making.
Like many other amazing pop-ups in Japan, the Samurai Studio will be open for a limited time—November 5th to be precise.
Check out more pics of the armor collections after the break.

You bought your ML430 because its performance and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? Car aficionados appreciate the a reliable name built into each Mercedes-Benz, and know that only the highest quality replacement ML430 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Coil Spring to repair your car or truck.
Our vehicle's suspensions would not be where they are today without the invention of some key components. The stability of your Mercedes-Benz ML430 is the result of quality coil springs. Your Mercedes-Benz ML430 coil springs respond to the up and down movement of your struts or shocks by controlling and dampening the rebound so it is not as drastic. Coil springs also help your chassis snap back after a degree of lateral movement or rotation. This improvement in mobility and weight reduction made them an ideal replacement for leaf springs on cars, but trucks still appreciate the durability of leaf springs over coils..
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Mercedes-Benz ML430 part for your needs. Don't let a broken Coil Spring spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Procuring new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement ML430 parts on the internet. If your car or truck was built in 2001, 2000, 1999, then you will find the correct Mercedes-Benz ML430 Coil Spring parts right here.

The stars of the new film "The Giant Mechanical Man" gathered together for their movie's premiere during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Monday night (April 23).
With her new movie "Rock of Ages" set to hit theaters on June 15th, Malin Akerman got a jumpstart on promotions by landing the cover of the May 2012 issue of Maxim magazine.
The 33-year-old actress sizzled in the scantily clad spread which includes shots of her posing in the arms of a gorilla and holding a butcher knife in one hand with a rubber chicken in the other.

|Married to Jeff
|Chad Morgan
|First Appearance
|No More Mr. Nice Guy
Deb was the wife of Jeff, the incredibly nice patient in No More Mr. Nice Guy. She was portrayed by actress Chad Morgan.
Deb was on the picket line during the nurse's strike when Jeff dropped by during his lunch. He defused a situation with a man trying to cross the picket line, but then collapsed.
Jeff seemed to recover in the emergency room and was ignored as the ER staff struggled with the lack of nurses. Gregory House became intrigued with his patience and went over to talk to him and his wife. When Deb suggest frustration at the wait, Jeff calmed her down. Deb got upset when House whacked Jeff with his cane to provoke him, but Jeff didn't.
The team started to think Jeff had syphillis, even though he claimed to have been tested for it when he entered the Peace Corps and then had not slept with anyone but Deb since. When he tested positive, he was convinced the earlier test had been wrong. Deb was concerned because she started to believe that Jeff might had cheated on her. She told the doctors that at first, Jeff's constant niceness was annoying, but she later started to find it attractive and fell in love with him.
She got even more concerned when, for the first time since she knew him, he lost his temper with her.
However, Jeff was finally diagnosed with Chagas disease. House explained that Jeff's niceness may have been a side effect of the resulting increased intracranial pressure. House warns Deb that Jeff's behavior may become more like other people's.
Jeff soon recovers, but when his catsup tastes bad and Deb thinks it's fine. He says he probably doesn't like catsup anymore, and Deb starts to look worried.

The silence woke me up. Judging by the coldness, the night was still pretty young and, around me, all of the Spares were already soundly asleep. But something was wrong. I pushed Nail who was clinging to me in his sleep aside and got up. Silently, being careful not to step on the others, I started making my way to the outer-mine when a voice suddenly whispered.
"You've noticed it too."
Startled, I turned around in a scared jump and nearly stepped on Broom.
"Spade!" I complained in half a whisper. He was sitting in the darkest corner of the room, his back leaning on the wall behind him while his younger sister, Chisel, was sleeping with her head on his lap. Despite the shadows, I could clearly see the glowing white of his grin. Then, slowly and gently, he moved Chisel's head to a pile of rounded up clothes, got up and suddenly leaped across all of the sleeping bodies, flew over my head and smoothly landed right behind me.
"What is it, Anvy? Afraid of the dark?"
"You should really stop airbending before you get caught," I warned him, ignoring his tease. But, as carefree as usual, he just winked at me and pointed to the room's exit with a small head motion.
"Let's go and find out the reason for this silence, shall we?" Without waiting for my answer, Spade hurried out, convinced that I would follow him. And he was right. Something was definitely wrong and I was definitely curious. The night Spares should have been working in the mine right now and there was no way the Skinners would let them take a break. This silence was worrying. And exciting. Quick and soft on my feet, I followed Spade's path and caught up with him. We crossed aisle D without a sound and reached the stairs leading into the mine where my companion signaled me to stop and to crouch. Dug in a round shape, the mine was large of about thirty feet and deeper than I could see. Around it, at each quarter, at approximately ten feet under the surface, four aisles dug horizontally led to resting areas for the spares where they could sleep. Above us, the mighty metal grid closing the mine was cutting the moonlight into squares. Openable only by the Inquisitors, the Metal Masters, it thwarted anyone from just the hope of escaping. In front of me, carefully, Spade stretched his head to look down into the deepness and quickly pulled it back.
"What did you see?" I impatiently asked.
"Darkness," he replied, somehow tenser than usual. "There should be plenty of activity down there, so why – down!" Swiftly, Spade tackled me on the ground and slapped the air, creating a gust of wind that put out the nearest torch lighting us. A moment later, two men emerged from aisle A, the one at the opposite side of us. Both surprisingly tall and in black robes, they seemed to be discussing serious matters, judging by the intense intonations I managed to hear.
"Anvy," Spade whispered in a serious tone not like him at all. "Go back to the room and pretend to sleep."
"What about you?"
"I'll be right behind you. I just need to understand what those guys are doing here."
I nodded, trusting Spade's judgement like always. At the other side, the two men had stopped at the top of the stairs and seemed to be having an argument. As stealthily as possible, I got up and silently headed back to the resting room. When I got far enough to be sure they couldn't see nor hear me, I ran as fast as I could, not exactly knowing what I was afraid of. When I got to the entrance of the room, someone suddenly came out of it and, unable to stop in time, I bumped into Chisel, repelling the both of us in opposite directions.
"Anvil!" cried out the girl while rubbing her elbow that had hit the ground. Chisel was two solstices younger than me and her short height and light weight made it seem like I had bumped into a child. However, despite her frail appearance and her usual gentle self, she could be a real tornado if sufficiently prompted, just like her older brother, which she seemed to inspire herself from.
"Chisel! Are you alright? What were you doing here?" I asked while helping her getting up.
"Where's my brother?" she replied, ignoring my questions.
"He'll be right there," I answered, doubting it myself. "But you need to go back to sleep. His words."
She stared at me for a while and for a moment I thought that she would push me aside to go out, but she sighed and went back to her corner where she laid down. Quietly, I did the same at my own place, between Nail and Saw, I slowly fell into a deep slumber, confident that Spade would come back before dawn.
But he didn't. When the Skinners came to wake us up, I knew something went wrong by the violence they displayed. With kicks and stick hits, they made us cross the aisle at an immense pace and told us to line up in front of the stairs leading into the deep hole. Dazed, we all tried to figure out why we were being beat up by looking down the mine, but one of the Skinners suddenly shouted out to look up. Next to me, File let out a muffled cry, which earned her a wallop on her back with a stick. Above us, Spade was hanging by his feet to the metal grid with a small gesture of back and forth. Completely naked, I could see several severe bruises and botches on his body covered in dried blood. Unable to bear the sight, I looked down.
"This is what happens when one of you suddenly decide to take a night stroll!" shouted out a Skinner. "Now, we know one of you was with the fellow up there last night." I shivered. "I'll give him or her one chance to speak up."
Panicked, I tried to look as calm as possible, but my sweat and the fear on my face should have given me away to anyone who would look close enough. At first, no one came, so I began to feel relieved, but then a Skinner suddenly took Chisel by the collar of her ragged cloth and lifted her above the void of the mine.
"Time's up," he said with a smile.
"WAIT!" I cried out, terrified. "It was me! I was with him last night!" The Skinner looked at me and his smile widened. Casually, but with brute strength, he threw the small girl against the wall behind him and came to me, who was kneeling and looking down in fear.
"Good lad," he said in enjoyment. I looked up, but his foot suddenly rose and hit me under my chin, sending me backwards. As my consciousness faded away, I saw the faces of my fellow spares doing their best at looking away, pity covering their faces.
When I started my Avatar training, as a child, people used to say that I was the greatest prodigy they had ever heard of. Thus, when I achieved metal bending without any effort, nobody was even slightly surprised. Then, at the age of ten, I managed to lightningbend better than most, but still, everybody thought of it as 'something to be expected'. It's only when, some years later, I mastered lavabending that the people actually reacted. But that's also when the conflicts began to arise.
Coughing blood, which somehow fell on my forehead, woke me up. Disoriented, my head felt like exploding and my body ached more than it ever had.
"Still alive, Anvy?"
Still dizzy, I couldn't determine where the voice came from, but I knew from 'whom' it came.
"Spade!" I meant to say it out loud, but my voice was so weak and my throat so dry that it came out as a whisper. "You're alive!"
He chuckled. "More alive than 'you' are at the moment, mate."
"I was so afraid you'd be dead. I shouldn't have left you last night."
"Last night? Anvy, that was three nights ago. What do you remember?"
I didn't want to answer. "I remember... being hurt. Over and over. I don't know for how long..." My voice died out as I recalled the small dream-like memories I had of the past few days.
"Well," started Spade with a mix of anger and pity in his voice, "they hanged you up here last night, so they must have...'kept' you for about two days."
"Two days... No wonder my body hurt so much," I said trying to figure out the extant of my injuries. I tried to look up at my body, my vision was still completely blurred. "How bad is it, Spade? I'm so dizzy from the pain I can't see a thing."
For a moment, from his silence, I thought he was gone, but then he sighed. It wasn't a sigh of boredom, annoyance nor of disappointment. It was a sigh of resignation.
"I'm sorry, Anvil. I'm so sorry," he said, his voice shaking. "Your dizziness isn't what's blinding you... They took them away. They took your eyes."
Sometimes, there are moments where I wonder what my life would have been if I had never been caught and sent to this living hell. If my parents hadn't been killed, trying to protect me, to no avail. If I hadn't met Spade, the incredible spares' natural leader. In those moments, I wished really hard for my past sixteen solstices to only be a bad dream and to soon wake up in the arms of my mother. But this wasn't one of those moments. Right now, I only wished I had died back then. Slowly, with my right hand missing three nails, I reached for my eyes. They were still there, but both were crossed by a vertical scar.
"Don't, touch them," said Spade in a voice full of pity. "They're not cicatrized yet."
I would have cried, if my tears weren't so painful, so instead, I faced the obvious and simply sighed. "I'm going to die, right? Even if I survive until they unhook us, I won't be able to work at the mine without my eyes. And if I can't work..." My voice died.
"Anvy! Listen to me. You 'will not' die. We will help you. You can count on all of us, we'll share your part of the work and let you do the small tasks. As long as the job is done, the Skinners will leave you alone." Barely listening, I closed my blind eyes and let myself slip into unconsciousness. "I'm going to make things right, Anvy. I'll save you all, I swear."
Nations wars, civil wars, bending wars, the whole world was a battleground. At first, every side tried to add me, the most powerful being of this realm, to their cause. As the Avatar, my only goal was to bring balance back to the world by stopping those ridiculous wars. To do that, I tried for many years to stay neutral and to act as a mediator. But the world didn't like that, so it tried to get rid of me. At first, some factions sent small groups of mercenaries to dispose of me. It goes without saying that they stood no chance at all. Then they sent experimented benders, which, again, failed miserably. Desperate, they soon begun sending troupes, then armies, but each victory against those enemies only served to make me stronger and stronger.
Slowly, I tried to get up, but only managed to sit. My body was in so much pain that a constant shaking was going through it. I vaguely remembered being unhook of the metal grid at the same time as Spade and then being threw here were the other spares tried to take care of me as much as they could. I tried to open my eyes to look around me, but then I remembered.
"Anvy," said a soft and sad voice that I recognized as Needle's. "Welcome back." I opened my mouth to answer her, but she delicately put a finger on it before I could. "Don't speak. Have some water." I felt something hard against my lips and opened them to feel the liquid enter my mouth. Its feeling was exhilarating. I closed my eyes while I drank, enjoying the water flowing through my throat and silently thanking Needle. Being the older woman and despite having only three solstices more than me and most of the other spares, Needle was the motherly figure of the group. Incredibly kind, but also able to being strict when she had to, she and Spade were the natural leaders everyone followed instinctively. Except that this instinct cost me my eyes.
The fact that Needle was here meant that the sun should have been set, and the shivers that the cold gave me confirmed it. Around us, I could hear the voices of my fellow Spares. As soon as I finished drinking, Nail spoke behind me.
"I brought you some clean clothes." His voice was trying to be reassuring, but I could clearly hear all of his concern in it. "Well, they're not exactly clean, but they're the closest thing to it that I could find."
"It's fine," answered Needle gently. "Thank you Nail." I felt the clothes changing hands near my left ear, heard the sound of splashing water and concluded that the clothes were being wetted. Then, like a knife suddenly stabbing me, an intense cold pain at my abdomen made me jump and scream. "I'm sorry!" quickly apologized Needle. "I forgot that you couldn't..." Her voice died before she could finish her sentence. "I need to clean your wounds, Anvil. It may hurt a bit at first," she said as the pain suddenly returned. Gritting my teeth and closing my eyes as hard as I could, I tried my best to endure the pain, but I must have fainted, because when I realized the pain was gone, so was Needle. Instead, Chisel's voice welcomed me.
"Hey, Anvil," she said, sounding weary, but also compassionate. "Sorry about your eyes." Ever so frank. "Spade's fine. He recovered at Godspeed. But he's feeling guilty for bringing you with him that night. And he's damn right. I smacked him good earlier." Speaking in short sentences, Chisel's voice was flat and from the way the sound came to my ears, I reckoned that she wasn't looking at me while doing so.
"Don't blame him," I managed to articulate in a weak and shaky voice. "I make my own choices."
She snorted in disdain. "You wouldn't think so if you saw your own body," she answered, probably not realizing how that sentence hurt. "Here. Can you feel where I'm touching you?"
"I can't," I replied, trying to understand her point.
"Exactly. That's because I'm touching where your left little finger used to be. Except it's not there anymore."
Apprehensive, I tried to concentrate on the said finger and to move it, but it was indeed gone. I closed my blinded eyes and my mind cried "why" while my body simply sighed.
"Why did they bothered keeping me alive?"
I had asked this mostly for myself, but Chisel answered anyway. "Because they needed to make an example out of you. Spade would have been too hard to break, so they chose the weaker one." Her frankness amused me more than it actually hurt me. "Anyway, you better sleep now. Dawn is near and you need to be able to get up until then. We already decided how we'll share your part of the work, but you still need to do small tasks. Ham will stay near you most of the time to guide you." I felt relieved at Hammer's mention. The man was the strongest, biggest but more importantly the gentlest Spare of this group. I knew I could rely on him.
"Thank you, Chisel," I said. For a while, she kept silent and I could imagine the startled expression on her face.
After a while, she finally sighed. "I haven't really done anything. In fact, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't speak up that time, my body would have been crushed on the mine's ground." As she spoke, I felt Chisel standing up and then heard her going away when she finished. I tried one last time to open my eyes only to find the dark reality smiling at me. I settled on sleeping.
At that time, I still had friends and family to support me, but inevitably, they became targets used to get at me. Confident in my skills, I trusted myself into being able to protect them. However, reality got the better of me when one of my closest friend murdered my younger sister and her lover, my best friend, during a night. The very next morning, maddened by rage, I charged alone straight into the responsible faction's settlement and annihilated everyone without mercy, discovering in the process a new skill: bloodbending. I had heard before that the ability could be use without the full moon, but I never witnessed it, until I did it myself. Such power in my hands! In the Avatar State, I could literally and easily kill hundreds of people simultaneously only by snapping fingers. Thoughtful of how to use this newly acquired power, I returned to my family's hiding.
"Anvil! Wake up! Come on!" The voice hurrying me to wake up was deep and stressed out. I recognized Hammer's tone and the way he firmly pulled my arm to stand me up with incredible ease confirmed it.
"What is it, Ham?" I asked, confused by his restlessness.
"Don't speak!" he whispered while forcing me to walk somewhere. "Kneel." I did as he asked, worried by his unusual behavior. My body still hurt but following Hammer demonstrated that I could at least walk, despite the pain it gave me. I was about to ask again what was going on, but the complete silence of the room advised me otherwise. Cursing my blind eyes, I resigned myself to wait for development and started listening to my surroundings, something I had done a lot lately, and that I will probably be doing a lot more in the future – if a future there was.
To my right, I could hear a mixture of anxious breathing and quiet sobbing, most probably coming from the other Spares, all kneeling in line. From previous experience, I reckoned that we were lined up at the deep end of the room, our back facing the wall and our front the entrance, so I focused my hearing in front of me. First, I heard footsteps, then whispering.
"Which one?" said an imperious and sharp voice.
"The one smiling arrogantly, sir," replied another in a submissive tone.
"Bring him forward," ordered the first voice. As soon as the order was given, heavy footsteps of at least three men came near me. Then, I heard them grab someone who struggled slightly before giving up with a resigned sigh. The men that I suspected to be Skinners dragged their victim where I previously heard the voice of the one ordering the others.
"Greetings, boy," he started in a vicious tone. "I've been told that you are quite the sleepwalker, is that right?" A silence told me that he was waiting for an answer that never came. He snorted. "Playing tough won't help your case, Spare," he went on, insisting on the last word. "You're going to tell me about the men you've encountered that night, and you're going to tell me about it now. Silence. Again, the man snorted. "You think we can't break you? You're probably right. I know the face of someone who would die from pain rather than giving away his secrets. But what about them?"
I understood that he was talking about us when some footsteps approached us. Then, I felt something moving, but didn't even had time to wonder about it, as the foot of a Skinner sank into my stomach where one of my previous wound was still healing, and propelled me against the wall behind, stunning me as I barely remained conscious. Breathtaking, the hit made me cough and spit blood as I desperately tried to stay awake.
"No! Damn you!" Spade's voice was like a distant whisper in my ears.
"Restrain it," calmly said the man, talking about my friend who, by the sound of it, had started fighting with airbending.
"Hang in there, Anvy," whispered Ham before I succumbed to the peaceful slumber calling me.
They were dead. All of them. My old mother, my twin cousins, Vin, Alek, Tooru, Salim, Hutah, everybody. All gone. Yet, this time, I did not burst in rage like I did before. In fact, I couldn't feel anything. I was calm. All of the people I loved were dead, yet I was looking at their body like they were nothing. No more. Silently, I headed into the night, burned the hideout, sat on the ground and meditated. I don't know how many hours, days or weeks I spent there, but when I opened my eyes again, I had discovered two things. The first was my goal: to bring balance back to the world. Well, in fact, I already knew that, but now I understood how to achieve it. The second: weightlessness. I had heard of only two men who ever got this ability, but there was no time for amazement nor to understand how I acquired it, so I took off into the sky.
The earth shook. Slowly, I sat up and examined the extant of my injuries. The kick that knocked me out didn't reopened the wound on my stomach, but the feeling it gave me was that of a burning rock pressing against my skin. The earth shook again. Having no idea about my current location, I tried to call out someone, but the only answer I got was the echo of my own voice. Then, for the third time, the earth shook, but this time I heard the sound of rock cracking above me. Before I could react, the tremendous shock of a boulder crashing just next to me resounded. A bit farther, the same thing occurred again. The mine was collapsing. This would have been wonderful news if only I wasn't alone and blind amidst falling boulders that could crush me at any moment. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Spade!" I rejoiced.
The footsteps stopped and there was a silence for an instant. "How did you know it was me?" asked my friend, confused.
How did I knew? "I... I didn't," I answered. "Just a guess."
"Anyway, let's go!" he said while pulling my arm and standing me up. "We need to get out of here."
"What in the world is happening?" I asked as I followed his lead as fast as I could.
For a while, he lead me across the collapsing mine, making me stride over rocks, pass under boulders and turn this or that way. As I ran, my body began to regain some of its vigor, and something inside me somehow seemed to roughly discern my surrounding without actually seeing it. I gained some confidence and sped up. But I shouldn't have. As soon as I did, I stumbled over a rock and heavily fell on the hard ground, bringing Spade who was holding my arm with me. Before I could get up, the latter grabbed me under the arms and tossed me away as far as he could, just before a rock fell where I was a second ago. Then, a moan confirmed what I had feared.
"Spade!" I cried while blindly hurrying to where I heard him.
"Don't stop," he said in a voice full of pain. When I reached him by following his voice, he violently repelled me. "Listen to me, Anvil. You're almost there, just run straight ahead and you'll be outside. All the others will be waiting for you. A guy named Jin should also be there. You can trust him; you must trust him."
"What about you?" I said in a desolate voice, already knowing the answer.
"My legs are crushed. I'm done for, but you are not! The celling is collapsing, Anvil. Go now - GO!"
I ran. Ignoring the pain of my body and my mind calling me a coward, I ran. As fast as I could, in a straight line, I ran. wailing and crying, I ran. Without turning back when the sound of the rocks collapsing on the body of my friend reached my ears, I ran. I ran. Until someone suddenly stopped me.
"Easy, son," said the voice of the man who just caught me. It was the warmest and softest voice I ever heard. "You're fine now. Where is the other?" I didn't answer. "I see. I'm sorry. My name is Jin. We'll take care of you now."
"Where are the others?" I asked, still dazed by Spade's death.
He sighed. "I'm sorry. You two were the only ones left."
My head got dizzy and my wounds and botches suddenly felt much more painful. "No... But he said..." I fell on my knees, realizing that Spade had lied to me so that I could escape. I lost them all. I lost everything I loved in this life and gained what in return? The beauty of the outside world I always dreamt about. Except I couldn't see it anymore. I was now in a place darker than the deepest part of the mine. All of this because of the will of one single man. The one who controlled everything. As the sun shone its light on my back once again since what had seem to be an eternity, I knew that I had found my path.
Because that day was the day I vowed revenge.
That day, was the day I swore to kill The Avatar.
The first part of my plan was simple, but needed time. The world needed to be reminded of who I was. I was the Avatar. The greatest of them all. With a stamp, I could destroy entire cities. With a stretch of my arm, I could make lightning rain on the world. With a breath, I could create rabid tornadoes ravaging the earth. And with a snap of my fingers, I could pull the blood out of every one who dare go against me. After many years intimidating the world, I could finally begin the second part of my plan. Using fear and respect, I gathered the strongest warriors, the smartest strategists & tacticians and the finest leaders and build myself an army. And it took decades, during which I've done things that would make the toughest men tremble in fear and lost things that would have drive any other man mad, but I finally did it. Today, as I walk in the ruins of New Republic City, I realize that I've finally achieved my goal.
Because today is the day I brought balance back.
Today is the day I conquered the world.

Hi, I am currently not studying.My question right now is for myself as I am interested in pursuing IB/A-Levels. The dilemma for me right now is making a decision between the two.My siblings have done A-levels and both got pretty different results so I am slightly more familiar with Alevels.What I'm concerned about now is the level of difficulty of both courses as well as whether doing IB is worth it?If i make any harsh decisions now without considering doing more research my ass will be screwed!anyways concerning the Entry Requirements for Engineering , I was wondering which would be better? I know doing IB has it advantages over A-Levels but is all the extra workload worth it?

It's sort of mixed~ A lot of people say IB is a lot harder than the A levels (coming from people who actually do them) but I know a real life friend who went from IB to A levels and she believes that they are both equally tough. As long as you go for either one that's fine.
In IB you have to do a lot of work though. Managing clubs, starting your own activity, doing a four thousand word essay with lots of research into it. The exams are extremely tough in my opinion, but that's maybe because I'm just dumb (LOL jk jk). I've studied for these mocks and I'm really suffering though, if I tried to "Wing it" like my IGCSEs, chances are I'll get all Es and Fs LOL. Don't do that, whatever you do. I'm really serious, it's impossible. Don't think you can wing it like your IGCSEs because you cannot, unless you've been studying since day 1 or have an invisible iPhone or have a Mirai Nikki (Anime reference...anyone? No?)
There were people in my school who's done really well in IB though, so well that they're got scholarships everywhere. One girl even got a scholarship to Yale. Amazing.
If you like work and if you're those people who would like to be the very best like no one ever was and if you're extremely confident you're an A+ student, choose the IB. Believe me, the IB stuff are nothing like the IGCSEs or the O levels. If you're a person who just wants to fit into a good University and manage to squeeze into one of those top universities, go for A levels.

IB is more workload, but consider that unless you have no idea what you're going to pursue in university, a lot of that workload is complete rubbish. TOK, EE, CAS, compulsory English, foreign language and -yuck- compulsory Math- these things make the IB a less than enjoyable experience if you're not into them.
Do yourself a favour and take A-levels. I think it's much better to study 3 subjects that you love in depth rather than cover 6 subjects, half of which you probably won't even like, plus the additional nuisance of TOK, EE and CAS.
Of course you might be one of those people who are all rounders- if that's the case by all means consider the IB. I personally found TOK and EE fun but hate Math so IB is a very mixed bag for me.

From my experience, it depends where you want to go for university. Im in my final year of the IB and i think that it depends on where u want to go for university.
UK = A-level
Undecided/Both = IB

For engineering, you need both physics and maths at IB higher level, I did them both and I can tell you that they are not as in depth as A level, especially for maths which means that it would place you at a slight disadvantage during your first year. But in terms of university application, IB can really make you stand out if you are a well rounded person who are good a wide range of subjects, otherwise, A level would be a better choice.

In terms of choosing between IB and A-levels my best tip would be to ask yourself what you want to study at university. If you can answer it with something like economics, physics, medicine or whatever then I don't see any point in working a lot harder in twice as many subjects that aren't necessary or relevant to your future education. If you however, aren't completely decided or have a real reason for choosing the IB, like for instance if you like studying a lot of subjects including languages and maths etc. or want to study abroad in the US for example, then go for the IB.

IB HL maths and physics isn't as in depth as A-level maths and physics?
If you are fairly sure of what you want to do in the future, I recommend doing A levels. imo it's treated a lot more fairly when it comes to universities in comparison to the IB (in the UK that is, abroad the IB is better recognised)

Reports are circulating that Apple is quietly laying the groundwork to remove the home button from iOS devices. If and when this happens it will be a seminal event for iPad and iPhone owners. The home button has been around since the very first iPhone was released, and it's something that has become a strong part of the brand identity of iOS devices.
Mitchel Broussard reports for MacRumors:
Apple is seeking to develop an in-house single-chip solution for integrating both the touchscreen and display drivers for mobile devices onto one chip, according to a new report today from Taiwanese site DigiTimes. The touch and display driver integration (TDDI) chips would also include "integrated fingerprint sensors", potentially allowing Apple to do away with the iconic home button.
TDDI is a new advance in the industry, with Synaptics introducing the first such solution earlier this year. Synaptics created its new TDDI chips by leveraging its recent acquisition of chipmaker Renesas SP Drivers, combining Synaptics' touch technology chipset with Renasas' display technology. Apple reportedly explored acquiring Renesas SP Drivers last year but the talks failed to lead to a deal.
DigiTimes suggests Apple's solution could eliminate the traditional iOS device home button, presumably by integrating its functionality into the device's screen, something Apple has explored in previous patent applications. This could allow future iPhones to see increased display sizes with edge-to-edge screens or smaller form factors with the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays seen on today's models.
Force Touch removes the need for a physical home button on iOS devices
I have to admit that the report on MacRumors took me a bit by surprise, but it really shouldn't have given Apple's work with Force Touch on the Apple Watch. After using my Apple Watch, I can see how getting rid of the home button on iOS devices makes so much sense
For example, if you press hard on the Apple Watch screen when in the Messages app you'll get three additional options: Reply, Details or Send Location. It's stuff like that that makes Force Touch so useful and I can see it totally replacing the need for a physical home button on iOS devices.
Why should the home button continue to take up so much space on the iPhone and iPad when a software-based button using Force Touch could take its place? It just doesn't make any sense to keep a physical home button on the iPhone or iPad when it could easily be replaced by one that is software-based.
Force Touch will no doubt make its way into the next models of iPhone and iPad that will be released in the fall, and I'm very much looking forward to using it. My Apple Watch has spoiled me in that sense by making Force Touch so easy and comfortable to use.
At some point in the near future we'll be able to press down on the screens of our iPads and iPhones instead of having to push a physical home button. And eventually we'll also be able to simply place our finger on the screen of the iPad or iPhone to use Touch ID.
No home button might mean smaller iOS devices with the same screen size
If Apple does get rid of the home button, it would open the door for the company to produce smaller, lighter devices with the exact same screen size as the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. I have an iPhone 6 Plus and it's a great phone, but I would not mind at all if Apple reduced its height by getting rid of the home button. It would be easier to hold and more comfortable to carry around.
I'm not sure how much of the weight of the iPhone is in the bottom bezel where the home button is located, but I wouldn't shed any tears if the iPhone 6 Plus was even lighter than it is right now. Anything that cuts down on the weight of the device would be great.
And it's not just iPhones that would benefit from removing the home button. I have an iPad Air 2 and I absolutely love using it. But I think I'd love it even more if the home button was removed and the height and weight of the iPad Air 2 were reduced. It would make my favorite iOS device even better.
Some iOS users have mixed feelings about removing the home button
While I'm obviously very much in favor of getting rid of the home button, not everybody shares my enthusiasm. I took a quick look at the discussion thread for the Mac Rumors story that I linked to above, and there were some mixed feelings about getting rid of the home button on the iPad and iPhone:
Happydude: "...about once every two, three weeks my screen becomes unresponsive due to an app that's misbehaving or a bug that hasn't been fixed in iOS or for whatever reason. so to do away with a hard-restart option does not seem like a great idea. maybe a on/off button-volume button hard restart option would have to be instituted instead."
Aristokrat: "They definitely need to keep some kind of hardware buttons that have the ability to force quit/reboot the device. I'm so tired of all-touch devices that become practically useless once something hangs/crashes because the screen/touch buttons can't get any CPU time. Even the best developers will 100% continue to create new bugs (which is no one's fault), and there's nothing more frustrating than being locked out of your device. I recently had to de-solder the power cables in a touch-only device to get it to reboot. So stupid."
Azentropy: "On the one hand it would be nice if Apple could then use that to decrease the top/bottom bezel so we could have smaller iPhone's with the same size screens. However I have yet to use an android device without a home button that I liked. Hopefully Apple can put something together like their wonderful trackpads which IMO are light years ahead of the other guys. On my "work" laptop I always carry a mouse because every HP, Lenovo (current) and Dell that I've used just has a crappy trackpad or other pointing device."
TMRJIJ: "If it is like Android devices software buttons, then no thanks."
Soupcan: "For the screen sizes they got the 6/6+ are HUGE phones, mainly because of the need for a home button and Apple's desire to make the bottom part of the phone the same size as the top part resulting in huge smartphones with relatively small screens (compared to lets say a LG G4 or a Galaxy S6). Getting rid of the home button resolves a lot of this."
Onemadrssn: "I think the phone needs a real tactile button that functions as the "oh siht" button that returns you to a familiar home screen. And by real, I mean not faked with force-touch. I mean real as in I know that I clicked it whether or not the phone is on and no software override can change the way it clicks."
Co: "...please! I played with a LG G4 and just love the almost bezel-less design of that phone. I love how they can fit a 5.5" screen into that form factor. Makes the iPhone 6 Plus look ridiculous with all that bezel."
I Am Designer: "It would mean having a larger TouchID sensor that spanned the bottom edge - integrated with those same force sensor layers from the watch.
It would mean the entire bottom bezel becomes a hit area for TouchID with a much larger reading surface - which should, in turn, make for more accurate readings.
Having a hit area for going 'home' could be accomplished by printing the small sqaure that used to exist on iPhone models back into the centre of the bezel. So, even though a deep press might take you home from anywhere along the bezel, there is some familiarity with the older physical buttons. The learning curve is shallow."
TheRainKing: "No thanks. I like having a home button. It's a good safety net when software stops working or when the touch screen becomes unresponsive. Besides, how would you put your phone into recovery or DFU mode?"
Subsonix: "I view hardware buttons as a luxury on an all touch device, it's the directness they give. Removing it would feel like a cheap cost reduction step to me."
As you can tell from this sampling of comments, there seems to be a vocal contingent of iOS users who view removing the home button with a dubious eye, to say the least. So Apple is going to have to tread carefully when they do it. Any software-based home button is going to have to work at least as well as the physical home button or the company risks a nasty backlash among some iOS users.
I think this might just be a case of some users not really understanding how well Force Touch works, particularly if they don't have an Apple Watch. Once you've seen it in action on the Apple Watch, it's easier to be more comfortable with the idea of Apple dumping the home button on the iPad and iPhone.
Don't hold your breath for iOS devices without a home button
As great as it would be if Apple removed the home button, I would not hold your breath for it either. It seems pretty clear that the next iPhones and iPads coming in the fall will still have a home button. I think we may have to wait another year after that before Apple rolls out iOS devices without home buttons.
That's okay with me though, I'd much rather that Apple took its time and got the software-based home button right instead of trying to rush it out half-baked. Plus it's going to take some additional time for the company to physically redesign the iPhone and iPad to take advantage of the lack of a physical home button.
The bottom line here is that the physical home button's days are numbered on iOS devices. I don't know about you but the removal of the home button from the iPad and iPhone can't get here soon enough for me.

Last week, you all had a lot to say about Margaret Cho's blog post that said Bristol Palin was "forced" to do Dancing With The Stars by her mother, Sarah Palin.
Bristol has a lot to say about it now, too, in a Facebook note posted late Friday. She calls Cho a "friend," while also saying her fellow DWTS contestant got it all wrong. Bristol uses the word "canard" - again! And she throws in a gay reference (Cho is gay.) She writes:
... Let me shamelessly steal from Saturday Night Live: "Really, Margaret? Really?"
I will give my friend credit for creativity, and extra points for getting so many "facts" wrong in so few sentences. Let me be blunt: my mom did not "force" me to go on DWTS. She did not ask me either. The show approached me. I thought about it. I made the decision. ...
It saddens me that people would think that my mom would "blame" me for anything that occurred in the 2008 election--much less "harshly" and "openly." I think that canard (there, I said it again), has been floating around since then also. ...
To my friend Margaret Cho, if you ever have a question, call me girlfriend. Don't ever rely on "sources" who claim to know me or my family. You will be taken every time. And we need to talk. You say you "don't agree with the family's politics at all" but I say, if you understood that commonsense conservative values supports the right of individuals like you, like all of us, to live our lives with less government interference and more independence, you would embrace us faster than KD Lang at an Indigo Girls concert.

The New NcSTAR 3-RAIL SIGHTING SYSTEM is a new generation of modular tactical sighting systems. The unique sighting
system mount that encompasses a variable 2x-7x power 32mm. scope allows the shooter to mount many different accessories
directly to the scope for quick and easy access. You can mount a secondary sight (red dot/ reflex sight), laser
targeting, and/or a tactical flashlight directly to the scope. The scope has a total of 16¾ inches of rail space on the
sighting system mount for a wide variety of accessories. Keeps the weight of the accessories closer to the center
balance of the firearm, avoiding the front heavy barrel feel of all the accessories mounted at the front end of the
barrel. Fits virtually any Weaver/Picatinny rail, making it possible to fit onto a wide variety of firearms.
Manufactured from aircraft quality anodized aluminum. This is the ideal solution for a shooter that wants a modular
sighting system that allows the easy attachment of accessories to their scope. Comes with a Mil-Dot Reticle.
