Last pictures from Gran Canaria. Streets, food, our kitschy hotel..
Time to move on to normal life routines and pictures, because tomorrow I start to work again.
But I wish time would stop, I had such wonderful last weeks of my vacation and I don't want it to stop just yet..
Haven't read any blogs almost during the whole summer. I'm sure I missed a lot and looking forward to catch up soon.

Out of blog loop here too... but for different reasons.
Sure do like these summer photos of yours... and the iPhone wedding pics in recent post too. Makes me realise that spring is on the way here.
Hope the slide out of holiday mode is as painless as can be.

Join us on the new C-Pop podcast where Taylor and Jessilyn discuss, debate and sometimes deride pop culture with a strong sense of humor and a focus on Christ. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
At different times in history, and for various reasons, Christian leaders have fallen victims to hype.
The dictionary defines "hype" as "extravagant promotion." In other words—it's usually a lie, even if our purpose is noble.
Today, we're in another massive "hype cycle." How many times have you heard about some Christian book, teaching series, conference, or media program that it would "impact this generation," "change the world," or "shake nations?" I believe one of the single biggest reasons the secular culture marginalizes Christianity is the hype factor.
Remember that this generation is the most marketed to, pitched, branded, and advertised generation in history. They can smell a con a mile away. Do you really believe they're buying into the fact that your latest sermon is going to "change a generation" or "shake the nations?"
How about this idea: What if we start re-building our credibility with a little realism? What if the world starts to realize that what we say is true? That how we describe our lives, ministries, churches, and impact is honest?
Who knows? They might even start believing what we're teaching.

Change in rules could bring about an end to closing cost surprises
WASHINGTON — Did you ever get hit with a closing cost shock? The "good-faith estimate" from your lender said closing costs would be about $2,000, but somehow they ballooned to $3,500 when it came time to sign the papers for your mortgage.
Worse yet, you had to come up with the extra money to handle the surprise costs or the home purchase or refinancing could not proceed. No one likes that kind of a surprise, and in about eight weeks, they should become a rarity.
Federal rules adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development have a blunt message for lenders and others who lowball estimates or add on junk fees at settlement: Play games like that, and you — not your customers — will have to pay the difference. The rules are scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, though banks and mortgage lobbies are pushing hard for a delay.
Here's what's about to happen: Starting Jan. 1, loan charges and settlement fees will be spelled out on a more consumer-friendly version of the good-faith estimates (GFE) form that borrowers receive within three days of their mortgage applications. Charges will fall into three categories on the form:
• Fees that cannot increase from upfront estimates to final closing.
• Fee estimates that come with wiggle room and can increase by as much as 10 percent in the aggregate from upfront estimates.
• Fees that can increase without limit, mainly because the lender has no control over them or the amount is difficult to predict weeks in advance.
Charges in the zero-increase category include the lender's or broker's mortgage origination, processing and underwriting charges, where junk fees sometimes sprout out of nowhere or increase significantly. Also in this category are the lender's or broker's loan discount charge or "points" based on the interest rate quoted to the borrower and local transfer taxes.
Charges subject to a 10 percent aggregate increase include services required by the lender but where the lender chooses the providers, such as appraisals; expenses such as lender's title insurance and settlement services where the borrower chooses a firm on a list approved by the lender; owner's title insurance when the borrower chooses a company on the lender's approved list; and recordation charges by local governments.
Though any one of these items can increase more than 10 percent from the upfront estimate to closing, the combined total of all the fees in this category cannot jump by more than 10 percent. This is crucial, especially in title insurance and settlement charges, where some of the biggest surprises pop up at closing.
Charges that can increase without limit include lender-required services where the borrowers choose a title insurance, escrow or other settlement company that is not on the lender's list; the cost of homeowners' hazard insurance; daily interest charges on the loan; and the amount of the initial deposit by the borrower into an escrow account.
The new good-faith estimate also encourages loan applicants to shop around. The form includes space for comparing up to four competing lenders' GFEs on interest rates, rate locks, prepayment penalties or balloon payments, among other factors. The cost estimates you receive from each competitor are required to remain available for 10 business days. Interest rates can change unless locked by the lender and borrower.
Paired with the new GFE rules will be a new standard closing cost statement, the "HUD-1." Unlike the statements in use today, the revised HUD-1 is wired into the GFEs to let consumers directly compare what they were told by the lender with what they're being asked to pay at closing. The final page of the new form itemizes the three categories of fees from the GFE and compares them line by line with the actual fees at closing.
Still another pro-consumer feature of the new HUD-1: For the first time, it requires disclosure of the fee splits of title insurance premiums between the insurance underwriter — the company actually insuring the title — and the title agent, who is often the settlement agent. Consumers may be surprised to learn that in some markets, 80 to 90 percent or more of the premium they pay at closing goes to the agent, not to pay for the insurance.

Members of the Rockaway Municipal life saving force for 1933, who have been honored for their work, include Louis Abelson and Harold Kramer, both of Brooklyn. They represented the United States in the Jewish Olympiad at Palestine two years ago and compiled records that were among the most notable in the meet.
Queens Borough Public Buildings Commissioner S. M. Strong, in charge of the Rockaway life saving force, cited the two Jewish athletes "because of their fearlessness and discretion in making more than a dozen rescues each during 1933."

ICYMI, the first trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past has hit the Internet! That means you can see your favorite faux mutants back in action on the big screen, like, really soon. But before that time comes, we wanted to fill you in on a little secret: Celebrities can be mutants, too; real ones!
You know how Kate Bosworth's always praised for her two different-colored eyes? (One's brown and one's blue.) That's an actual genetic mutation, which was actually brought up in X-Men: First Class, called heterochromia. And you know how Elizabeth Taylor — may she rest in peace — had double rows of eyelashes? That's also a mutation, called distichiasis. Keep clicking for more celebrities that are basically like X-Men and have genetic anomalies:
Celebrity Mutants: Megan Fox
The Transformers actress is beyond gorgeous, but that doesn't mean she's without her flaws. According to surgeons, she unmistakably has brachydactyly, a fancy word for clubbed thumbs.
Photo: Dreamworks
Celebrity Mutants: Harry Styles
The One Direction lad confessed it himself -- he has four nipples!
Photo: Columbia Records
Celebrity Mutants: Mila Kunis
Okay, so suffering from inflammation of the iris (thereby losing some vision) isn't a genetic mutation, but it left the Black Swan actress with one brown eye and one green eye, so it's still fascinating.
Photo: Universal
Celebrity Mutants: Ashton Kutcher
As for Mila's boyfriend, he has his own deformity via his feet. The Two and a Half Man actor has syndactyly a.k.a. webbed toes. Who knew?
Photo: BBC
Celebrity Mutants: Shailene Woodley
Similarly to a monkey, the 'It' girl has prehensile appendages. She revealed to Conan O'Brien, "There's this cool thing called prehensility, which is the way we can move our fingers and our toes, and so a friend brought it to my attention a few years ago, and I've been practicing spreading my toes and see how far I can get them, and I was able to clasp hands, but with my toes with a friend once."

Celebrity Mutants: Dominic Sherwood
One of our favorite up-and-coming British hotties has heterochromia, making him that much hotter. No really, just try looking into his eyes without swooning.
Photo: Instagram (@domsherwood)
Celebrity Mutants: Karolina Kurkova
Upon birth, the Victoria's Secret model is said to have had an umbilical hernia, so she was forced to undergo an operation when she was an infant, leaving her with a missing belly button.
Photo: Victoria's Secret
Celebrity Mutants: Zac Efron
Likewise to Harry Styles (though, not as visible), the heartthrob allegedly has four nipples. His reps have been quick to deny the claims, saying they're simply moles. Either way, we still prefer him shirtless.
Photo: Universal
Celebrity Mutants: Kate Hudson
Google it if you don't believe us, but the actress, as well as Halle Berry, has polydactyly meaning a sixth toe on one foot.
Photo: FOX
Celebrity Mutants: Benedict Cumberbatch
Another star with multi-colored eyes, though, his are referred to as central heterochromia and sectoral heterochromia. The inner parts are gold/green; the outer parts are blue; there's also a section of brown in his right eye.
Photo: Paramount
Celebrity Mutants: Alice Eve
And Benedict's Star Trek Into the Darkness co-star also has heterochromia...
Photo: Paramount
Celebrity Mutants: Olivia Wilde
...and, to save us some time, so does Olivia, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Henry Cavill, and plenty of other celebrities.

Could you answer 2 questions:
1. What are your virtual memory settings?
2. What are the figures for total, used and free disc space?
For #1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417, step 2.
For #2: Select C:-drive in My Computer, then right click>Properties.
There's no relation at all with memory sticks. So for the moment, that's off-topic.
I have a Dell Dimension 2000 which is run by Windows XP.. I keep getting a pop up that says Virtual Memory is low.. How do I raise the Virtual Memory on my computer and how do I check the amount actual memory or Ram that is on my computer incase I want to add another memory stick to it.. I cleaned out all the unnecesary items on my computer transferred all my pictures to a flash drive and took the AOL application off as well including all other AOL features and old apps as well.. I figured this would free up the problem with the freezing.. I also defragged and did the cookies clean.. cache and history.. ty for any help you can give me..

.hack//Quarantine Part 4
Review by mmx2
"It's been a long ride... pitty it's over :("
So finally the 4 part game is finally complete! It's been a hard long ride but it's finally here. And it doesn't disappoint me.
The game play in .hack is been pretty much exactly the same in all four games. If you played part 1 it's the same system here. It's basically controlled button mashing. You stand in one spot (although you can move but it's pointless) and mash the attack button. That's overly simplified but that's basically how you handle most battles. Since this game simulates an Online MMORPG you don't actually control your team mates, each member has their own personality and traits. You are the team leader and command them to heal or attack that sort of stuff. Doesn't mean they'll always do it, but that's part of online game life (in this case it's simulated) :) One part of the game play I kinda like is that the game plays as if you've been playing all along. Thus the game doesn't cater to the newb it just jumps right in so new players might have a problem here since the game won't really care weather or not they are new and just slaughter them relentlessly.
The story is pretty solid, basically you play the game as yourself, with your ''The World'' game character Kite. Part 4's continuation of the main story was pretty good considering the game been spanned 4 games.
The graphic's in all four .hack games has been exactly the same. Nothing really new here. The graphic's are not all that great or really all that bad. The same goes for the sound too. Sound is been the same since part 1. no really new improvements. All and all if you liked the looks of .hack 1 thru 3 then you know what to expect in part 4. It's nothing wrong with it. It's just don't be expecting a whole new game look cuz you'll be greatly let down if you do.
Play Time/Replayability
This is the big problem with .hack part 4. It's short way too short. It's less then 10 hours to from start to finish. The short game problem start in part 2 but meh, it's about the quality not the quantity. The extra quests after you beat the game will extend game play further if your into item collection or extremely hard dungeons. I'll be honest after 150 hours of playing .hack thru all 4 games I can't see myself picking up .hack part 4 and playing it from there again. Thus for any sense of completeness I'd have to play part 1, 2, and 3 again. So I'm not up for that gauntlet again, but that's just me personally.
Final Recommendation
Over all if you been keeping up on the .hack story from the other 3 games and have your save data from part 3 and you enjoyed those games... I'm going to have to say you will enjoy this game. Otherwise you prolly won't really appreciate what's going on or even understand it. If you watched the .hack//sign anime you'll appreciate other things in the game as well... it's not really all that important but it helps. So if you aren't a .hack fan... I'd say it's a renter. It won't last you that long specially if your a vet .hacker newb's might have a problem with this game. So keep that in mind.

The development of new medicines to treat diseases like cancer or inflammatory disorders is dependent on the identification of novel drug targets. Target selection requires an understanding of the functional relevance of a given protein in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
Our group combines chemistry and biology to generate small molecule tools, so-called "chemical probes" that enable studying the role of proteins as potential targets for drug discovery. Candidate targets may originate from genetic studies linking the expression or mutation of a selected gene to a particular disease, in vitro genetic screens such as RNA-interference or genome-editing (e.g. CRISPR, TALEN), compounds identified in phenotypic assays or drugs already in use.
To identify, explore and validate targets the Chemical Biology group uses a variety of different discovery approaches such as small molecule screens, biochemical assays, protein X-ray crystallography, chemical and protein-protein interaction proteomics, medicinal chemistry, RNAi as well as genome-editing alongside classical molecular and cellular biology techniques aiming at the development of new molecules that may provide leads for drug discovery.
Dr Laura Diaz Saez completed her Biochemistry degree at the Autonomous University of Madrid and obtained her PhD from the University of Dundee working on the assessment of potential antibacterial drug targets. She joined the Huber lab to work on the structural and biochemical characterisation of novel targets involved in cancer and inflammatory disorders.
Originally from Swansea in Wales, Dr Andrew Lewis graduated with his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2013 under the supervision of Prof Shankar Balasubramanian. During his PhD he worked on the synthesis and biological understanding of quinone containing natural products and their use as anticancer agents. Prior to this, Andrew read Natural Sciences at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge completing his MSc with Prof Steven Ley working on the synthesis of novel hydrogen bond organocatalysts. From 2013 to 2016 Andrew worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto with Prof Patrick Gunning working on the design and synthesis of protein-protein interaction inhibitors and using chemical biological techniques to understand their mode of action. In 2016 Andrew joined the Huber group at the Target Discovery Institute where his current research involves the use of chemical biology and chemoproteomic techniques to identify novel drug targets for multiple myeloma.
Dr Kathryn Pugh completed her Mchem in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Leicester (UK) in 2009, where she completed her Masters project in the Glenn Burley group working on the preparation of DNA binding polyamides. From 2009 to 2013 she undertook a PhD in Chemical Biology at the University of Leicester (UK) in the labs of Prof Paul Cullis, Dr Glenn Burley (University of Strathclyde) and Prof Andrew Tobin. During this she studied kinases of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) to provide insight for new drug targets. In January 2014 Kathryn joined the Target Discovery Institute in the group of Prof Paul Brennan to develop chemoproteomic assays for the examination of interactions between small molecules and proteins. During this time she also worked on the quantification of modified nucleosides by LC-MS/MS with Prof Benedikt Kessler.
Dr Cynthia Tallant did her degree in Chemistry at the University Autonoma of Barcelona and obtained her PhD in Structural Biology and Enzymology at the IBMB-CSIC Science Park of Barcelona working on zinc metalloproteases. Cynthia has developed her career as a research scientist in the UK for more than four years in Chemical Biology Drug Discovery groups at the University of Cambridge and since 2013 at the SGC-Oxford. Her work comprises the production and characterization of therapeutic proteins or enzymes, biochemical assay screening with compound libraries and structural determination of ligand-bound complexes with epigenetic and kinase targets. Inn 2015 Cynthia won a fellowship from the Tres Cantos Open Lab Foundation supported by GSK to work on the development of novel therapeutics to treat Malaria.
Dr Srikannathasan (Kannan) Velupillai completed his PhD in Structural Biology and Enzymology at the University of St Andrews and University of East Anglia working on the Bordertella pertussis lipopolysachcharide biosynthetic pathway. He then joined the group of Professor James Naismith to investigate Rhamnose biosynthetic pathway enzymes. In 2009, Kannan joined GSK, Stevenage as a Senior Scientist working on the structure and function of a new class of antibacterials funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the Wellcome Trust as part of the "Drug Discovery Programme in Relation to Gram Negative Bacteria". In 2012, Kannan moved back to Dundee University and worked on several projects focussing on the Bacterial Type VI secretion system, Tryptophan metabolic pathway enzymes (Bill Hunter Lab) and IRAK2 (IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK) family 2) and various kinase projects (Philip Cohen lab). In October 2014, Kannan joined the SGC where his current focus has been on protein production and structural studies of epigenetic drug targets.

Here are three highlights from the fifth day of Pitt spring drills Tuesday:
— Coach Paul Chryst was unhappy with his team's energy level.
— Running back James Conner – make that marquee running back James Conner — lined up for a few snaps at defensive end for the first time this spring.
— Quarterback Chad Voytik struggled at times, but threw two long, pinpoint passes to redshirt freshmen wide receivers Zach Challingsworth and Jester Weah that would have been touchdowns if this was a game that mattered.
Hey, it's spring. Nothing matters all that much (except to the coaches, and to them everything matters). But I ranked the three events in what I believe is their order of importance.
Let's start with the head coach's discontent.
If you watch the man for any length of time, you can't help but respect the way he holds his temper, keeps the veins from bulging in his neck, but still gets the message across to the team.
Less than halfway through the session, Chryst stopped practice and called the team together in the middle of the field. The music that had been blaring through loudspeakers was shut off.
I couldn't get everything Chryst said – I guess it would have been poor form if I inched toward the huddle so I could hear – but he did say, "… way behind on day 5."
His lecture was brief, and when it broke up and practice resumed (without the music), I didn't notice as many guys jumping offsides or dropping passes.
Message received.
Later, Chryst talked about the day.
"As a group, as a whole, I didn't think we had the energy we needed," he said. "We have to get better as a team."
When he was asked if the players' timing was bad – the poor effort coming after three off days – Chryst was only half-kidding when he said, "I think we should just practice every day. We would be better off for it.
"We got off to a slow start and some guys didn't get out of that funk."
Chryst wasn't especially angry with his team. (If I'm wrong, he hid it well.) But he did admit that players are having a lot of plays and alignments thrown at them in a short period of time, and sometimes young people hit a wall.
"Some guys can reach a saturation point," he said. "You have to find out what that is."
That is REALLY what spring is about.
The Conner situation is interesting for a simple reason: When he played running back and defensive end in the bowl game Dec. 26, he became the first Pitt player to play both sides of the ball since quarterback/safety Rick Trocano in the late 1970s. If there was someone else between Trocano and Conner, please let me know.
Conner is the team's best running back. He has a chance to be one of the ACC's best by the end of the season.
Why play him at defensive end and risk wearing him out or, worse, increase his chance of getting injured?
I'm glad you asked.
Most importantly, he can do it. He is a supremely talented athlete who was, actually, recruited from Erie McDowell to play defensive end. He's young (not yet 19), and he doesn't think about getting tired like many people twice his age do.
Second, Pitt has a need at end. It was magnified Tuesday when Ejuan Price missed practice while resting a back injury that forced him to sit out most of last season.
(Although, I'll say this: Starting defensive end David Durham looks to be having a good camp. He was throwing ball carriers around with little regard to their safety.) At the other end, sophomore Shakir Soto, 6-foot-3, 255 pounds, at least looks the part.
But Pitt needs depth at the position. Using Conner in that role in certain situations – not more than 10 snaps per game – probably isn't a bad idea.
I don't think I've seen a quarterback practice harder and put more effort into his throws than Voytik has done over the past several days.
He's not blessed with great size or the rocket arm that hangs from Tom Savage's shoulder. But Voytik puts everything he has into his throws, calling on his right arm, shoulder, legs, hands and feet to get the football where it needs to go. His 40-yard (or so) throws to Challingsworth and Weah couldn't have been more accurate.
Only one-third of the way through spring drills, Voytik has a long way to go. But he's a fighter. That matters, too.
Offensive left tackle Adam Bisnowaty missed practice for the fifth consecutive day, but Chryst said he's making progress from his back injury.
"He's feeling a little bit more confident about everything, slowly building (up) that level of work and — so far, knock on wood — no setbacks. It's good, but he's in the process."
Also missing was outside linebacker Anthony Gonzalez, who is day-to-day, according to his coach. Bam Bradley stepped into Gonzalez's starting spot.
Defensive linemen Devin Cook and LaQuentin Smith, offensive lineman Gabe Roberts and wide receiver Kevin Weatherspoon also were limited by injuries. … Cornerback Trenton Coles returned from a groin strain and practiced with a slight limp.
Offensive right tackle T.J. Clemmings had two pancake blocks of Bradley and middle linebacker Matt Galambos. … Redshirt freshman Jaryd Jones-Smith, 6-7, 295, is getting a lot of work at tackle and guard.

"The Civic Centre is dead in the water." That was the dramatic claim this week about Otley Town Council's planned move to a bigger base in the town centre.
Labour says the move to Orchard Gate, along with a shake-up that will see the council's offices turned into a fully accessible information centre, will allow the body to play a much more active role.
But Liberal Democrat councillors have slammed the idea as a "vanity project" that will cost taxpayers. Council leader Councillor John Eveleigh (Lab, Ashfield) told the policy and resources committee the changes would usher in an "exciting new era" where Otley could end up taking on services, including running the town's markets.
Councillor Jim Spencer (Lib Dem, West Chevin), accused Labour of trying to create a "smokescreen".
He said: "This move is a declaration that the Civic Centre is dead in the water and that the council will never return to it.
"Along with the toilets (the council recently approved a £78,000 revamp of Orchard Gate toilets) this amount of money every year means there's no possibility of any going to the Civic Centre – it's dead."
Coun Spencer acknowledged the merits of having powers devolved from Leeds and of having an information centre – and so abstained in the vote.
Town and ward Councillor Sandy Lay (Lib Dem, Danefield) attacked the "clearly politicised, very inflammatory" lang-uage of the document outlining the changes and predicted high costs. He said: "It's clear this information centre, in principle, is a good idea but it will cost this council at least £50,000 per annum. This is the biggest vanity project in 40 years."
Councillor Kevin Cooney (Lab, West Chevin) and others pointed out that the council's current premises at Bay Horse Court, which are not wheelchair-accessible, were simply "not fit for purpose".
Councillor Nigel Francis (Ind, Danefield) said: "If we keep the current offices we'll have to limit it to one or two people coming in at a time. And let's not bother with people with disabilities, because they can't get in!
"We should be setting an example and being a town council that leads from the front. If the precept for next year comes back and a ten per cent increase is proposed I'll oppose that, but we've got to look ahead."
Coun Eveleigh dismissed any idea that the reorganisation signalled an end to efforts to get the Civic Centre refurbished.

Bethel Park, Evans City men charged with child porn offenses
An Allegheny County man and another from Butler County are accused of using Internet file-sharing programs to download child pornography, state prosecutors said on Friday.
David O'Connell, 34, of Bethel Park used his computer to store multiple videos of underage children engaging in sex, investigators from the Attorney General's Office said. When O'Connell was arrested on Thursday, agents seized items from his home that will be analyzed as part of an investigation into the trafficking of child pornography, prosecutors said.
Dennis Belles, 45, of Evans City, who was arrested last month when he arrived at a Cranberry hotel for a rendezvous with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl he met on the Internet, was charged with distribution of child pornography on Friday, investigators said. He is accused of sending graphic images of minors that were on his cellphone to undercover officers posing as children.

Halo 3
Review by Necoji
"The Fight Is Finished"
Halo 3...possibly the most over-rated game of all time, but it deserves the hype!
Graphics. 7/10
Halo 3's graphics were pretty well done, but not perfect. Weapon details, lighting, player and enemy models are all good, but some jaggies are found on walls and other terrain. Overall though, the graphics are pretty solid.
Sound. 8/10
Halo 3's sound is very good, and fits well into the game. The voice acting is superior to many games, and the guns sound very good as well. The screams and groans of the enemies as you mow them down is very satisfying, to say the least. The only thing keeping the sound from getting a 10/10 is the fact that some guns sound very quiet, like the Assault Rifle and the Battle Rifle.
GamePlay (Single-Player) 6/10
Halo 3's Single-Player campaign is good, to say the least...but it seems like it is lacking something. The levels were put together well, and the enemies seemed to fit, but it lacked the epicness of the first and second installments.I found myself zoning out while playing campaign
quite a few times. Eh, It could've been better.
GamePlay (Multi-Player) 10/10
Halo 3's Multi-Player is where the game really shines! To start, you have the choice to play Split-Screen, or over a LAN, or you can go to Xbox Live and play with people around the world! Halo 3's multi-player is very intense, and you will find yourself many times with sweaty palms sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting for your enemies (or friends) to come out of hiding or waiting for the opportune moment to jump out of cover and try to get a few shots off. It can get very intense, and you can find time flying by as you're blasting your friends and enemies, just to scrounge up a little EXP or bragging rights, or just to better your skills.
Unlockables and Easter Eggs. 8/10
Halo 3 has many unlockables, easter eggs, and other things to look around for! During the course of the game you may find skulls laying around in hard to reach places, or just well hidden...these skulls (when picked up and activated) give 10 point achievements, unlock armor permutations, or just add a bit more fun to your game! As you grow in rank on Xbox Live, you unlock special armor permutations for certain ranks, which is rather fun, and you can get the armor perms from other things as well, such as completing the game on Legendary, unlocking certain achievements, picking up a certain amount of skulls, and more! Halo 3 has many things to find, so don't quit playing campaign just because you went through it once :]
Rent or Buy? Definitely a buy, it is worth the money and more.
Overall : 7.8/10 (Rounded up to 8/10)
Halo 3 is a great game, but does have some minor flaws. Many features are very well executed (the Theatre, the Service Record system) and some aren't executed very well (Forge, Matchmaking) But the good definitely outweighs the bad.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

MOVE over rain, it's the snow's turn to cover Worcestershire.
A yellow warning for the white stuff has been issued by the Met Office from the early hours of Friday morning until lunch time.
A statement on the weather giant's website said rain falling on Thursday night would turn into snow.
It said: "Rain will turn to snow for a time, mainly over the high ground during Friday morning.
"Over low ground it is unlikely that any snow will accumulate but many areas may see falling snow and slushy deposits for a time."
But, forecaster Frank Hill said the weather depended on where a depression in the mid-Atlantic landed.
He said: "This is not a straightforward situation because it depends on the movement of a small depression which is still in mid-Atlantic.
"Its centre is currently forecast to move across Bristol and London on Friday morning, but this is by no means certain.
"If the forecast track is correct, there is a risk of a short period of snow on Thursday night or Friday morning, though more likely to be confined to the higher ground of Worcestershire. Any snow on low ground should be slight."
He added that the weekend is likely to be quite cold with a frost on Friday and Saturday night.
The public is advised to be aware of the potential for some disruption to travel especially during Friday morning rush hour and to take extra care.
Further information on weather and advice on how to deal with it can be found at metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/links.html.

The global boom in both traditional and alternative energy industries helped the Houston metropolitan area to surpass its pre-recession employment peak of 2.6 million payroll jobs set in August 2008 by October 2011. The region's unemployment rate of 8.1 percent in November 2011 was well below the U.S. average of 8.7 percent for the month. We expect that relationship to hold going forward. High oil prices are a boost to the Houston economy. Recent sabre rattling between the U.S. and Iran has helped to push the price of West Texas Intermediate crude back to $100/barrel after easing through late summer/early fall. The Port of Houston is also a major economic engine for the area as it is the top-ranking U.S. port for international commerce. Together, the Port of Houston, the Houston Ship Channel, and Galveston Bay represent a significant economic asset for the area, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs state-wide and generating significant state and local tax revenue.
Houston's global connections also expose the area to downside risk. Our baseline oil price forecast holds WTI at $100/barrel through 2012. This price would support very active drilling programs throughout the world. However, there is downside risk to oil prices in addition to upside risk. Ample global supply accompanied by flat or cooling demand by developed economies and slower demand growth from developing Asia could push prices down. Likewise, a cooler global economy could dampen shipping traffic through the Port of Houston.
House prices in Houston did not experience the destabilizing price appreciation of other areas in the mid-2000s. Consequently prices have been firmer on the downside. Since peaking in 2007Q1 the FHFA house price index for the U.S. is down about 16 percent. From its later peak in 2009Q1, the Houston FHFA house prince index is down three percent. Housing starts, particularly on multifamily projects have been on the upswing through 2011. Declining vacancy rates and improving rents are incentivizing multifamily builders.

Financials are off to a banner start this year. And for two good reasons.
First and most valid is valuation. Mass market hatred for financials in 2010 and 2011 led to a selloff that was not based on any fundamental merit. Second, it seems to be the belief that Europe, despite the terrible situation it is in, will get its act together and do what needs to be done to avoid an all-out catastrophe. Germany is on the verge of a recession and when push comes to shove, Germany will step up and do what is needed for the European Union before sending its economy into a tailspin.
With this belief that Europe may do what it needs to do, investors have wasted no time piling into Bank of America (BAC), my top pick for 2012. Day in and day out, shares are accumulated on significant volume. So far this year, shares are up over 20% and BofA has outperformed both the S&P and peer Wells Fargo (WFC). Even at $7, BofA is still a very attractive stock and in this environment should easily be sitting above $10 a share. BofA's current valuation more than discounts a European crisis, high US unemployment and lower lending volume. The stock price also discounts CEO Brian Moynihan's plan to eliminate $5 billion in expenses, the stand lone value of BofA Merrill Lynch and the fact that EPS could exceed $1 in 2012.
Wilbur Ross is betting big on financials. To be sure, Ross feels the smaller banks are more attractive than the mega banks due to the regulatory restrictions that the Fed is putting on the country's biggest. But that hasn't stopped Ross from buying the Bank of Ireland (IRE), a big bank by Irish standards and one that is arguably in worse shape than some megabanks in the US.
One of the smaller banks that Ross is piling money into is Sun Bancorp (SNBC). His average share cost is $2.85 and shares today trade for $3. Sun Bancorp operates Sun National Bank, a bank that Forbes magazine has named one of the country's "Most Trustworthy Companies" for five consecutive years. Sun Bank operates in New Jersey and is the preferred lender of the NJ Economic Development Authority. This bank is not going anywhere. As of Sept. 30, 2011, the bank had assets of $3.2 billion, $675 million in cash and equity of $308 million. The current market cap is $258 million.
After fears about its exposure to Europe sent shares in investment bank Jefferies Group (JEF) below $10 in December, shares have rebounded back to nearly $15. Even so, Jefferies is one of the best managed of the smaller investment banks. The bank quickly disclosed to shareholders the extent of its exposure to Europe and then moved to reduce that exposure. At current prices, the shares are good for a 2.2% yield and trade at book value. One of the most successful investment companies, Leucadia (LUK), owns nearly 30% of Jefferies and it bought more back in December and has no intentions of selling any shares anytime soon. In fact, the reason they aren't buying more is because the came to an agreement with Jefferies to cap their ownership stake. CEO Richard Handler also owns over 5% of the company.

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says if she's elected, she will require all government procurement projects – from transit and infrastructure to catering – to use Ontario materials unless it's prohibitively expensive to do so.
She reiterated her commitment to an expanded "Buy Ontario" policy in Bombardier Transportation's Thunder Bay plant on Friday. The policy would mean all provincial and municipal projects would need to use Ontario materials unless they're more than 10 per cent more expensive than the cheapest foreign-made version.
"This [plant]is the evidence that shows how much employment is created by good 'Buy Ontario' policies. It's not good enough where it stands now," she said. "This puts our tax dollars to work for the people in this province ... And that makes a heck of a lot of sense."
That's a significant change from the existing policy, which only applies to public-transit projects, and only requires that 25 per cent of vehicle costs be "Canadian content." In another big change, the program would also oblige local governments to source all their public projects from Ontario materials. Right now, the 'Buy Ontario" program applies only to provincial funding.
The NDP plan defines "Ontario materials" as anything in which more than 50 per cent of the total value is manufactured, produced or assembled here. "In the case of an assembled product," the plan reads, final assembly would have to happen here.
It's a point Ms. Horwath has hammered home before, especially when it comes to the North. She has vowed to go back on a $120-million refurbishment contract she thinks should have gone to a North Bay-based company instead of its Quebec-based competitor; she has also said an NDP government would require any company doing resource extraction in Ontario to process its materials here, as well.
Her argument is that this is a necessary step to both foster Ontarian industry and ensure "value-added" components of the supply chain are here so the province isn't stuck shipping out raw materials from which it derives no benefit.
"Our tax dollars should stay in Ontario to create jobs and opportunity; our natural resources should be doing the same," she said.
But she has come under fire from the Liberals for what they call protectionist policies that would close Ontario off just when it's most in need of foreign investment. Northern Development minister Michael Gravelle, in whose Thunder Bay-Superior North riding she was campaigning in Friday, has called it "devastating."
Ms. Horwath also came under fire from the Liberals for having voted against the very transit contracts she was praising at the Bombardier plant on Friday as she extolled the potential of made-in-Ontario policies. According to a Liberal statement, she voted in 2006 against an $838-million Toronto transit project, and against a $382-million investment in 2008.
But those contracts were buried in budgets she voted against on principle for other reasons, Ms. Horwath said.
"I vote against budgets the McGuinty Liberals bring in that don't do well enough for the province."
Ms. Horwath's Bombardier visit came after a quick tour of multiple closed and closing mills in the Thunder Bay area. She chalks these closures, many of which have been coming for years, up to neglect from the Liberal government.
"Job losses like this ripple across the community and affect the whole region," she said. "When people stop working, our towns, our cities, our province stop working. It doesn't have to be this way."
It's a seductive and populist proposal come election time, especially here: Bringing up the issue of jobs shipped out of province with rallies in Northern Ontario (or southwestern Ontario's hard-hit industrial regions, for that matter) is a sure way to elicit raucous, irate cheers.
But it's also an awkward time for Canadian politicians to pursue protectionist policies: Ottawa is girding itself to go after U.S. President Barack Obama for his own "Buy America" plan that's part of his Jobs Act, entreating him to make exceptions for Canadian bids.
"Call it whatever you want," Ms. Horwath said. "What I call it is a job creation program that puts Ontario tax dollars to work and puts Ontario workers to work putting bread on their tables."
She also took another swipe at Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty, who has declined to attend a Northern debate in Thunder Bay Sept. 23.

A stable isotope dilution assay and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of 12 mycotoxins in milk-based infant formula, milk, milk powder, and baby yogurt.
Despite the high initial instrumentation cost, with more [13C]-IS becoming commercially available and cost-effective sensitive LC-MS systems, stable isotope dilution will be used for routine mycotoxin analysis in the future, said the researchers.
The mycotoxins were aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, and M1, deoxynivalenol, fumonisins B1, B2, and B3, ochratoxin A, T-2 toxin, and zearalenone, in milk-based infant formula and foods.
Webinar presentation
Dr Kai Zhang, lead author of the study and a chemist at US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) presented the findings during a webinar yesterday by AB SCIEX and Romar Labs.
He said there was ongoing LC-MS based mycotoxin analysis at FDA and the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN).
Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites generated by fungi growing in foods and animal feeds.
US FDA Compliance Policy Guidance, sets the max detected concentrations of aflatoxin M1 in milk are >0.5 μg/kg (ppb).
The European Union (EU) maximum levels of aflatoxin M1 are 0.05 μg/kg in milk and 0.025 μg/kg in infant formula.
Methods used
Researchers used the LC-MS systems 4000 quadruple linear ion trap (QTrap) and 6500 QTrap from AB SCIEX and found for the 12 mycotoxins, the 6500 QTrap outperforms the 4000 QTrap with 3−50 times better sensitivity and 1−2 orders of magnitude more in linear dynamic range.
Samples were fortified with 12 13C uniformly labeled mycotoxins ([13C]-mycotoxins) that correspond to the 12 target mycotoxins and prepared by dilution and filtration, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis.
Average recoveries in fortified milk, milk-based infant formula, milk powder, and baby yogurt of range from 89 to 126% with relative standard derivations (RSDs) of <20%.
Individual recoveries in the four fortified matrices range from 72% (fumonisin B3, 20 μg/kg, milk-based infant formula) to 136% (T-2 toxin, 20 μg/kg, milk powder), with RSDs ranging from 2 to 25%.
The limits of quantitation (LOQs) were from 0.01 μg/kg (aflatoxin M1) to 2 (fumonisin B1) μg/kg.
In 60 samples, aflatoxins B1 and B2 were detected in one milk powder sample. Aflatoxin M1 was detected in three imported samples (condensed milk, milk-based infant formula, and table cream), ranging from 0.10 to 0.40 μg/kg.
The test portions were dissolved or diluted 10× times using acetonitrile/water (50:50 v/v) and then centrifuged and filtered through membranes with molecular weight cutoff at 3 kDa.
A stable isotope dilution assay was used to correct for the effects of suppression.

Virai Arquitectos
Total Projects from Virai Arquitectos: 2
Virai Arquitectos is an architectural design firm based in Madrid. Founded in 1998 after winning a competition for a large cultural and sports building in Madrid is led by Juan Manuel Herranz (Madrid, 1971) and Marta Parra Casado (Madrid, 1972), both graduated from the faculty of Architecture of the Polytechnical University of Madrid in 1999. They have given lectures and run architectural workshops in different universities in South America and Spain.
The practice has almost exclusively dedicated itself to architectural competitions and has been rewarded with several prizes and honorable mentions, most of which are already built. Among these works the Civic Center in Muskiz, near Bilbao, the Cendea de Galar Sports Complex near Pamplona, and more recently the winery Bodega "La Grajera", a research center for the wine and an institutional facility for the Regional government of La Rioja, Spain.
Since 2006 the office has been increasingly focusing on sports and educational architecture, designing many primary and secondary schools throughout Spain. The approach takes into account not only the functionality of the typology but also the experience of the users and the surrounding context and tries to create a positive environment. Emotional conditions are key ingredients of the design process. Intuition is always important as a way to accelerate decision making.
Architecture is not understood as a speculative knowledge but as a physical reality that has a great impact on people´s lives. Building, turning drawings, ideas and concepts into a reality is important as a way of transforming and improving the environment where it´s placed.

The BBC reserves the right to edit comments that are published.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in the renewed fighting on Thursday around the government complex overlooking the city of Zamboanga.
The clashes came a day after more than 200 rebels were allowed to leave Zamboanga with their weapons after they freed more than 100 hostages they had been holding since Tuesday.
Southern military commander Lieutenant General Roy Cimatu said the new fighting involved about 30 members of the Muslim separatist Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
The rebels are loyal to the outgoing regional governor, Nur Misuari, who led an armed uprising last week, breaking a five-year peace agreement with the central government.
Deal over weapons
General Cimatu said no soldiers had been injured and he knew of no guerrilla casualties, although six had been captured.
Reports said at least 25 guerrillas, five soldiers and one civilian were killed in fighting on Tuesday.
Rigoberto Tiglao, a spokesman for President Gloria Arroyo, said the MNLF fighters had agreed to surrender their weapons to officials in the Autonomous Region Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), which administers five largely Muslim provinces in the south.
Tuesday's battle apparently began when the military tried to force the rebels, who normally act as armed guards at the office complex, to leave the area without their weapons.
A fierce gun battle ensued during which air force planes bombed the base.
The MNLF launched a long, secessionist war in the southern Philippines in the 1970s. In 1996, their then leader Mr Misuari signed a peace agreement, which set up the autonomous region with himself as governor.
But earlier this year, after performing poorly in office, the MNLF dropped Mr Misuari as their leader.
Allegations of incompetence and corruption also led the Philippines Government to back alternative candidates within the MNLF.
Mr Misuari took up arms again last week in what the Philippines authorities said was an attempt to postpone the election for his successor as ARMM governor.
Election result due
The election did go ahead and the result will be known later this week.
After the failure of his uprising, Mr Misuari fled to Malaysia, where he was arrested on Saturday. Malaysian authorities have said they are ready to deport him when the government of the Philippines was ready to receive him.
President Arroyo has said foreign countries should not grant politicial asylum to Mr Misuari but Philippines officials say they would prefer him to be kept in Malaysia for now.
They have spoken of fears that he could become a rallying point for disaffected Muslims in the Philippines.
The BBC's John McLean in Manila says the MNLF is sticking to the peace agreement, and Mr Misuari commands the loyalty of only a small faction.

Brother QL-1060N Label Printer
- Page 1Brother QL-1060N Label Printer
- Page 2 Brother QL-1060N Label Printer
- Page 3 Feature Table & Print Speeds
Key Features
- Review Price: £153.56
There are three main manufacturers of dedicated label printers: Dymo, Seiko Instruments and Brother. Brother has a range of thermal printers in the QL series and the QL-1060N is the largest of these. It's capable of taking anything from normal address labels up to 6 by 4-inch parcel labels, and plastic tape for more permanent marking.
The printer, in its dark grey and silver case, is functionally styled with a single roll of labels sitting inside a hinged cover with a large top radius. A clear-plastic output tray can be clipped in at the front to catch labels, and without this they end up on the desk in front of the printer, as there's an automatic cut-off after each one has printed.
There three buttons set into the front right-hand corner of the machine: one to switch it on and off, one make a cut to order – useful when printing on plastic tape – and one to feed labels through. At the back are three data sockets, as the printer is directly compatible with USB, serial and Ethernet connections.
A catch at either side lifts up to release the top cover and installing and feeding labels is then pretty straightforward. Each roll of labels is fitted in a cartridge that slots into the roll holder and tells the printer the type and size of the labels it holds, via a system of sensors in the base of the cartridge. When you locate the end of the label roll into the feed rollers you can use the feed button to set up the start position. Individual labels are keyed so the printer knows where each one starts, while tape can be fed through by any amount you wish.
The bundled software supplied with a label printer is a much more important part of the whole package than support software with a regular printer. Brother provides two dedicated applications: P-touch Editor and P-touch Address Book, which are reasonably comprehensive programs in their own right.
P-touch Editor can be used in two different modes: express and professional, though both seem to offer the same set of features. The difference is that the professional version shows virtually everything that's available on the one screen, which makes it easy to get at, but can be a bit daunting. There are full controls for where to place text, the format of characters, importing images, sizing and framing them and adding things like barcodes.
P-touch Address Book is, as the name might suggest, an address list program, where you can enter data manually, one contact at a time, or import it from a comma delimited file or from Outlook. It can work in collaboration with P-touch Editor, so you can custom design address labels and then run them with selections from the address list for mailings.

Filmmaker Werner Herzog has spoken about "ecstatic" truth versus "factual" truth.... and goes on to say that if facts were the most interesting thing in the world, then the phonebook would be the most interesting book... You get the idea... sometimes a deeper truth requires poetic license not found in the literal grid. Art is the lie that reveals the truth.

Adding storage space to Roku 2
Look closely at the back of any Roku 2 streaming player, and you'll notice a microSD slot located above the HDMI port. This slot lets you add more storage space to your Roku 2 using a standard microSD memory card. You can use that extra space to store games or other Roku channels.
MicroSD cards, at just 15x11x1 millimeters in size, are even smaller than the SD flash cards that are used in many digital cameras. MicroSD cards are readily available, fast, inexpensive and reliable. They're also small enough to fit into the smallest streaming player ever—Roku 2!
We added the microSD slot primarily to support the availability of more games on Roku 2 in the future. All Roku 2 models have enough built-in storage to hold several games, depending on the size of the game. Add a 2GB microSD card, and the storage capacity for games goes up to as many as 50—possibly more. If you are a casual game player (or plan to add hundreds of video and music channels to your home screen!), we hope you'll find the ability to add additional storage a convenient feature.
Installing a microSD card is simple. Just insert the card firmly into the microSD card slot on the back panel of your Roku 2 and follow the on-screen instructions to format the card.
A few more details about using a microSD card:
- The microSD card is for game and channel storage only. You will not be able to read files, such as videos and photos, from it. If you are interested in personal media playback, you can do that via USB on the Roku 2 XS model.
- If you remove a microSD card from your Roku 2 in the future, any channels or games that were stored on it will have to be re-installed onto internal storage the next time you launch them.
- You need the Roku Game Remote with motion control to play some games like Angry Birds. The Game Remote comes standard with the Roku 2 XS, and is an optional accessory for the Roku 2 HD and XD versions. If you don't have the Game Remote, you will be unable to access and locally store games requiring motion control.
- For security reasons, you can't move a microSD card from one Roku 2 player to another without re-formatting it.
For best results with your Roku 2, we recommend a Class 2 or greater microSD card with a minimum of 2GB storage. Most microSD cards sold today fit that description. You can buy one from most electronics retailers or from Roku here , either standalone or bundled with a Roku Game Remote.
As always, let us know what you think of this feature at email@example.com.

The Trillion-Dollar Public Benefits Gap Widens
State governments are looking at a cumulative shortfall of at least $1.26 trillion needed to pay for pension and retirement health care services, The Pew Center on the States reported in a study published last week.
Read 24/7 Wall Street's take on the report and a breakdown on 10 states where pensions are in jeopardy. –ARK
The Pew Center on the States:
In the midst of the Great Recession and severe investment declines, the gap between the promises states made for employees' retirement benefits and the money they set aside to pay for them grew to at least $1.26 trillion in fiscal year 2009, resulting in a 26 percent increase in one year.
State pension plans represented slightly more than half of this shortfall, with $2.28 trillion stowed away to cover $2.94 trillion in long-term liabilities—leaving about a $660 billion gap, according to an analysis by the Pew Center on the States. Retiree health care and other benefits accounted for the remaining $604 billion, with assets totaling $31 billion to pay for $635 billion in liabilities. Pension funding shortfalls surpassed funding gaps for retiree health care and other benefits for the first time since states began reporting liabilities for the latter in fiscal year 2006.
… And states' ability to meet their annual payments may not improve anytime soon; most government finance experts expect state tax revenues to continue recovering slowly in the years ahead.

When Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez took a bite out of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup this summer, he was quickly banned from "all football activities" by governing body FIFA until the end of October. It turns out that also included game modes in FIFA 15.
At the time of writing, searches on the transfer market in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team return no results for Luis Suarez, while anyone taking charge of Barcelona, where the striker moved in the summer, receives an email from the chief executive stating that he is suspended and unavailable for selection until 26th October.
Suarez is suspended on FIFA 15 career mode until October 26 pic.twitter.com/1BJmkaJ1Wf— Footy Memes (@FootyMemes) September 23, 2014
Suarez is available to select in exhibition matches using Kick-Off mode, at least, although he starts in the reserves by default with Match Day Experience switched on.
We have contacted EA to ask for a comment on Suarez's suspension and will update this story if we get anything back.
Either way, given that Suarez has received a sizable upgrade since last season - he's now the seventh-best player in the whole of Ultimate Team, with an overall rating of 89 - he's likely to be pretty popular when he is finally released from his suspension. At least until he bites someone else, anyway.

Mysterious East African fish deaths
An investigation has been launched into the mysterious deaths of thousands of fish and other sea life, whose bodies are being washed ashore along the Kenyan and Somali coastlines.
A team of marine experts from Worldwide Fund for Nature, WWF and environmentalists say that it is possible the deaths of manta rays, sharks, tuna and turtles amongst other things might have been killed by toxic algae.
Laboratory tests have detected harmful algae in the water and samples have been sent to experts in South Africa for further investigations.
But toxic pollutants in the sea are also not being ruled out.
There are fears that if it is toxic algae it could be Red Tide - which gives a red tint to coastal waters.
Experts say this could last for months and cannot be controlled.
The algae produces a toxin that affects the central nervous system of fish and paralyses them, preventing them from breathing.
Marine disaster
Ms Julie Church, a local representative of the WWF, told the BBC that it is the first time this kind of marine disaster has occurred on the Kenyan coast.
She explained that toxic levels can be influenced by climatic changes.
The WWF representative is however non committal over the mass death of marine wildlife until the final results of the scientific analysis on samples are released.
Fishermen all along the Somalia and northern Kenyan coast are reported to have suspended their operations fearing that their catch could be poisonous.
Eating seafood that has consumed harmful algae can cause food poisoning and in some cases can be life threatening depending on the algae involved.
Pollution problem
Pollution has long been a problem off Kenya's northern coastline, which lies adjacent to Somalia.
Marine expert David Olendo told the BBC's correspondent in Mombasa that the deaths could have been caused by massive pollution near war torn Somalia.
Maritime sources in Mombasa claim that some multinational companies have been dumping toxic waste into the Indian Ocean using the Somali channel.
The sources say that ship captains have been paying ransom money to Somali militia to enable them dump the waste, and the current marine deaths might just be a result of the pollution.
Somalia has lacked an effective national government for more than a decade.
Kenyan fisheries officials confirmed that fish are being washed into Kenya from Somali, but could not confirm whether the Kenyan waters are safe.
A report by several UN agencies in 2000 revealed massive pollution by toxic materials caused by dumping along Somalia's coastline.

These are always so general that I hate filling them out....I'll put more later, but in the meantime, check out all answers below! They make up my "self-summary." :)
In my hopeful not too distant future, I want to start and run a Dog Day Care/Boarding business. I adore all animals!
I've played piano since I was a wee infant lass, and even though I'm out of practice, I'm still awesome and it is such a blast to play! I'm pretty artsy and crafty, I'm kick ass at video games (HALO rules!!) and I'm good at tennis, but again out of practice and admittedly out of shape. Getting back in though!! I love being active, and even though I'm a work in progress, I know where I can get and am kicking my ass to get back there again :)
Hunger Games (don't judge!!!), Under the Dome, anything by Stephen King, The Host, other random ones!! Need to get back into reading :)
Pretty much anything, I LOVE Zoolander and most Ben Stiller movies. This is the End was pretty hilarious, and all three Hangover movies. Zack Galifinakis is another favorite actor of mine, so I adore most of his movies! Also a couple random ones...both new Star Trek movies, all Star Wars (kind of a nerd not gonna lie) except for the newer ones. I don't even acknowledge them. I also love period dramas and horror movies. Not Saw and stuff like that...it grosses me out it's just too much.
The Office, The Leaugue, Parks and Rec, It's Always Sunny, American Horror Story, True Blood, Weeds, Archer!!!, Futurama, Lonesome Dove, Once Upon a Time (guilty pleasure!!), etc. x1,000.
Everything but country....
Most things except seafood...I just can't do it. People have been trying to get me to like it for the last 15 years by having me try the most intensely fishy seafood and claiming "it tastes like chicken....." They ruined it for me :'(
And knowing that I'm one of those hard workers and I'm great at keeping my chin up and a smile on my face regardless :-)
I do also love going out, low-key bars and over to friend's house parties, wine-tastings on occasion, go to the movies, out to a good dinner, etc!!!
- I'm adopted

It is really amazing that toady 14 community radios are broadcasting 100 hours program in a day! I am proud to feel that community radio is taking place as an essential mass media within the lives of the rural people. We gave thanks to Ministry of Information of Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh that they have approved community radio activities with the objectives to achieve empowerment and to ensure right to information of the rural people. What was our dream now becomes a reality in 2012!
We could rightly identify that due to globalization, in receiving information and knowledge, the difference between urban and rural societies widened. As a result, people are losing access to the basic ingredients of life. As days go on they are becoming asset-less. On this context, we have started policy advocacy with government for community radio installation to exchange and disseminate information and knowledge effectively within the rural society. We also believe that any good work needs devotion and dedication. We have now achieved community radio after 14 years of dedication.
However we did not fail! While we see 536 young boy and girls are now working as rural broadcasters in community radio stations. A total of 125 (98 male and 27 female) are now involved in community radio station management committees from the rural community and trying to achieve the ownership at the local level. The government officials and civil society at upazila/district level have joined in CR station Advisory Committee and started motivating the mass people to take part in local development and entertainment by using community radio as a platform for mutual learning. In this way, these officials are taking a great role to build a knowledge-based society at rural level. Therefore our effort for 14 years was not mere wastage!
The reality of today is that the bondage between the community radio and local-level radio stations are getting strengthened day-by-day. Community Radio has now become their part of life. Community Radio becomes the instrument for the livelihood battle of the rural people. We have now started advocacy with the government of Bangladesh on community television. We hope that community television will come into being within a short time.
Community Radio Stations in Bangladesh will be a wonderful platform for dialogue of the rural people. This dialogue will help the community to discover their own voice. For them, this will ensure helpful social, economic and cultural conditions and the freedom of opinion in the realm of politics.
We hope this book will be useful for the community media activist, policy makers, academia and development partners working to achieve a free, independent and pluralistic community media sector of voices for the voiceless in rural Bangladesh

North-south divide 'to grow'
The North-South divide is about to get wider, according to new research from a policy think-tank.
A survey from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has revealed the average worker in the North East will only get half the national average income by the year 2020.
Part of the problem is a "brain-drain" of talent from the area to take up better jobs in the south-east.
John Adams, a senior research fellow with IPPR, told BBC Radio Newcastle higher unemployment levels were also to blame.
He said: "While the south-east economy might be motoring ahead, even if the north-east economy grows, but by a lesser extent, the gap between north and south is going to get wider and wider as the years go on.
"By 2020 the north-east will be half the UK average.
"It is not just about people in work. The North East also has relatively low levels of employment.
"Unemployment is higher in the North East, but also there is a whole raft of people on sickness and disability benefit."
Mr Adams said while the cost of living in the north was lower than that in other parts of the country, it was not enough to sustain a good quality of life in the long-term.
"The state of your society does not just depend on economic growth, it is about wider quality of life issues," he said.
"But it is harder to have a good quality of life if you are not in a decent, fulfilling job."
Highly skilled
Bill Midgely, from the North East Chamber of Commerce, said he did not agree that wages in the north-east would drop to half the national average.
He said: "We earn about an average of 85-90% of the national wage... the trend will continue, but whether we get to 50% or not is highly debatable.
"We have to realise we have lost many jobs in this part of the world in the last decade or so.
"They were highly skilled and well-paid jobs and we have replaced them with lower paid jobs.
"The best jobs are not here and will not be here until we have more companies centred in the region."
