Try looking for work at Lockheed Martin or someone else in their business - I'm sure they're hireing... all thanx to G. Bush.
Stretch every 15 minutes!
I'm a physical therapist and I've been seen a few cases like yours. What is important is that you take care of yourselves people! When typing a lot - stretch your wrists atleast every 15 minutes and make a habit of it. This works best before you get problems. When you do try Active Release Techniques (www.activereleasetechniques.com). That works wonders for carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress problems.
Just a tip...

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
The manufacture recomends 30 PSI front and rear and if you alter the pessure too much it may cause problems with the inflation warning system on the vehicle...
Just because it came with Michelin doesn't mean you will like the ride, it just means Hyundai got a good deal on tires...
I am doing some research on tires are yours 16 or 17 inch? And do they have metal or rubber valve stems?
Hi Terry, Hang on a minute, I will go and check. I thought it had a TPMS since its a limited, but I'll check and be right back. Oh, I forgot to mention, the rear shocks have been changed out in an attempt to improve the ride. O.K. I just checked and it does have rubber valve stems.
I read some Mercedes forums and one guy said that Michelins are like riding on a skateboard... hehe
There is a factory bulletin on (front shock) knocking noise but that's it...
The car has 17 inch tires.
You know I looked at the Diagnostics chart for rough ride under supension and it mentions inspect the front shocks for leaks, etc.and there is a Factory bulletin on front shocks. Is just changing the tires going to make for a completly softer ride given the fact the STRUTS/SPRINGS themselves have alot more control of firmness of ride than tires.
Hmmm... It's a very difficult question and a potentialy costly decision.
Theres a fine line between softness and bouncing up and down but softer front struts would probably be a better investment than tires as long as you clarify this with the shop you intend to replace them. You also have to consider weather, wear, handling, that's the b-tch with tires.
Supposedly Michelins are quiet and soft, I beleive it's the strut assembly firmness more than the tire. You can run them under inflated a couple pounds but I feel it's the physical suspention that needs to be changed.
Honestly I would check out like GoodYear for soft compound tires but weather conditions, tread life, expense, etc. you have figure in...
Thanks Terry, I am leaning toward Goodyear. Especially since they responded with a recommendation where as Michelin only provided a phone number.
Thank you.

Datalink weather may be nothing new, but many believe it is much improved thanks to subscription-based services from XM Satellite Radio that are taking the aviation world by storm.
The satellite radio provider introduced its weather lineup two years ago after realizing that it could leverage the excess bandwidth not being used for its network of 100-plus audio channels to deliver content to customers other than its three-million-strong radio listening audience.
XM Radio in spring 2003 teamed with data provider WxWorx, whose storm-cell identification and tracking technology and Nexrad radar images were already being provided to hundreds of TV stations across the U.S.
It didn't take long for aviation users and avionics makers to take notice of the new XM service, which promised to deliver a stream of weather content to aircraft operating over the continental U.S. for a monthly fee of $29 or $49, depending on desired features.
Garmin was first to launch the service, beginning with its marine products and then expanding into aviation with an optional package for the G1000 integrated cockpit. Next Rockwell Collins announced that it would offer the XM WX service as an option in its Pro Line 21 avionics system, starting with the Citation CJ3.
Collins selected Heads Up Technologies to supply the XM receiver, and others soon followed. A maker of digital audio and integrated systems, Heads Up is also offering the service through its XM audio/data receiver platform, designed for integration with a number of aviation display systems, including electronic flight bags (EFBs) from navAero and Flight Deck Resources, and on a number of popular MFDs.
Avidyne, for one, recently announced the selection of XM WX Satellite Weather to provide broadcast datalink weather for its FlightMax EX500 multifunction displays, as well as for the FlightMax Entegra integrated avionics systems. Avidyne's version of the XM service uses the Heads Up Technologies XMD-076 XM receiver.
And XM weather isn't just for cockpit displays and EFBs. Services are also available for personal digital assistants and Pocket PCs from providers AnywhereWX, Teletype GPS and NavAir.
The XM WX service allows a constant stream of real-time graphical weather information to be overlaid on a cockpit display. The data includes Nexrad radar images updated every five minutes, graphical at-altitude wind speed and direction as well as METARs, TAFs and an array of other information.
Two versions of the service are offered–Aviator and Aviator LT. The latter is the "light" version, which costs $29 per month and includes Nexrad images, TFRs, METARs and TAFs. The full $49 per month Aviator version includes the features of Aviator LT in addition to airmets, sigmets, echo tops, severe weather storm tracks, surface-analysis maps, lightning data, winds aloft and satellite mosaics.
So how did a fledgling satellite radio company become involved with in-flight delivery of aviation weather data? The fact that a number of XM senior executives are weekend pilots certainly had something to with it, but the real reason has more to do with technological serendipity.
To broadcast its line of aviation weather services, XM teamed with WxWorx, a company that provides data feeds to TV stations across the U.S. The aviation version of the WxWorx feed is delivered by XM's two geostationary satellites, one positioned over the eastern U.S. called Rock and the other over the western part of the country named Roll. Once the receiver equipment had been developed, all that was left to make the service a success was to turn on the feed and start transmitting data.
More information on the range of XM hardware options is available at www.xm radio.com/weather.

TAMPA — Talented and troubled guard Arron Sears rejoined the Bucs on Wednesday, but his return to the playing field might not occur until next season.
Sears has gained "significant weight," and general manager Mark Dominik called the chance of the third-year pro contributing in 2009 "wishful thinking."
A private matter forced Sears to leave the team in April. He will spend this week working exclusively with Bucs strength and conditioning coach Kurtis Shultz.
During that time, Sears will not attend meetings with teammates or be made available to the media, according to Dominik.
The Bucs have a two-week exemption for Sears before they have to decide whether to activate him to the 53-man roster or place him on another reserve list.
"I'd say in my mind it would be wishful thinking to think he could contribute this year," Dominik said. "I mean, because he does have to get himself in really good football shape, No. 1. He has to get himself comfortable in a playbook he really doesn't know, No. 2, and that is a lot to ask over the last seven weeks of the regular season. It is encouraging that he is here today."
Sears, 25, left in April for his home in Russellville, Ala., after coaches and teammates noticed he had become withdrawn, at one point choosing to write down responses to questions.
Dominik met with Sears in Tampa several weeks ago and last week invited him to attend a conditioning workout.
"I have to give him a lot of credit. He's been very good about staying in contact with me," Dominik said. "I give (agent) Sean Kiernan a lot of credit, too. It's been a difficult process. He spent a lot of time working through this. Over the last couple of weeks it's kind of come to this date where we were comfortable doing that. By league rule, we were allowed to bring him in and work him out. We did that. We gave him a quick workout and a physical test just to see how he did. I had a conversation with him, and he lived up to everything we asked him to do. When he came back and asked for permission to return, we were happy to have him back."
When asked how Sears' conditioning looked, Dominik said: "Not great. The guy hasn't played organized football since early April, so he needs to work on getting himself in physical conditioning. …
" This week I'd like to let him work on getting reacquainted with the team."
Dominik maintained his stance of not elaborating on the nature of Sears' "private matter."
"At some point I'll let Arron talk about that when he's more comfortable talking about that," Dominik said.
Bucs players appeared encouraged and excited to see Sears, and many had remained in contact with him during the absence.
A third-round pick from Tennessee in 2007, Sears was emerging as a future Pro Bowl talent before leaving the team, having started 31 regular-season games in two seasons. His absence forced the Bucs to move second-year pro Jeremy Zuttah to left guard.
An injury to Faine meant Zuttah was not available to move to center and the Bucs were forced to re-sign Sean Mahan.
"He didn't let us down," tackle Donald Penn said of Sears. "That thought never crossed my mind at all. I knew what was going on with him, and I'm happy he's back. … I think he is determined to turn everything around and show everybody the player he can become. He's a great person on and off the field. I know his mentality, and it's the same mentality that everybody has on this offensive line."
Said center Jeff Faine: "It is good that he is back. It is good to see him. That's the biggest thing. Then we'll just see how it goes."
But teammates didn't sugarcoat the kind of work Sears has ahead of him.
"I don't think any athlete can leave the game for half a year and come back and be where they want or need to be," Penn said. "It's going to take time."

And as a lovely parting gift, how about glass in the bed: Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by ginbuck
Overall Member Rating
And as a lovely parting gift, how about glass in the bed
Destination: Canada & New England
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
There were many things right about this cruise--most of the staff, the dining room maitre d'h and waitstaff, the Quisine waitstaff and the cabin stewards impressed us all. The buffet staff was inexperienced, actually surly in one isolated incidence, rarely offered to go above and beyond and just generally appeared untrained. Entertainment was quite good and the NASA speakers were excellent.
The tendering however was a nightmare. This Canada/NE trip required tendering in Bar Harbor, Sydney NS, and Gaspe. We did not go into Gaspe, but did tender in the other two ports. Because we were with elites, we were able to go on the priority tenders. Even these tenders were not called for over 1 hour. We heard numerous complaints of three hour waits More and missed tours. In Bar Harbor Celebrity apparently uses the tenders to tender in the lobsters for dinner, leaving the passengers waiting while lobsters got top priority. Seriously?? And trust me, the lobster may have been fresh when it got on the ship, but it was dry and overcooked when served.
Food in the DR was generally good although if you are not an adventurous eater there is little on the menu that appeals. I ate a lot of chicken and steak. The menu was quite interesting and my husband (who will eat anything) loved, loved, loved the food.
The culmination of the trip was the last night on the ship. Following the show we prepared for bed and hubby looked down and realized he had a piece of glass sticking out of his toe. After we staunched the bleeding with kleenex and a knee high stocking, I was just getting into bed when he said there was another piece of glass on top of the turned down sheet. Sure enough. We took that out of the bed, I climbed in and two minutes later I realize there is a slice in my finder from a shard. We got out and there were hundreds of shards of glass in the bed. Guest services brought bandaids, changed the bed, and vacuumed the floor but could not help with the reason why. That became clear the next AM when the regular room steward came and said he saw the report about our cuts. He said that he had reported a light over the bed as being out after he turned down the bed for the evening. Obviously the maintenance person broke the bulb as it was being replaced and either did not clean it up or tried and failed.
We will stick to Princess Less

An iconic one-dish meal, chicken fricassee is a French dish featuring bone-in chicken pieces, often served with a creamy white sauce. To make the humble but flavorful dish, brown the chicken pieces briefly before simmering them with vegetables and herbs. The resulting aromatic liquid later forms the base of the classic fricassee sauce.
Things You'll Need
- Chef's knife and cutting board
- Vegetables (carrot, onion, celery, mushrooms, shallots)
- Fresh herbs (tarragon, thyme, parsley)
- Butter or oil
- Large stockpot
- Salt and pepper
- Tongs
- Large plate
- Wooden spoon
- Serving platter
- Aluminum foil
- Whisk
- Small mixing bowl
- White wine
- Chicken broth
- Cooking thermometer
- Cream
- Flour (optional)
Chop the vegetables and fresh herbs. You need about a handful or two of chopped vegetables and a few spoonfuls of fresh herbs.
Add enough butter or oil to cover the bottom of the skillet, and turn the heat to medium-high.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then put your first batch of chicken into the pot. A cut-up chicken, or an assortment of legs and thighs, probably needs to be cooked in two batches.
Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, which should take about 10 minutes per batch. Reserve the cooked chicken on a plate and repeat for the second batch.
Sauté your chosen aromatics for about 2 minutes, or until softened.
Whisk together equal parts of broth and white wine. Pour the liquid into the pan over the sautéed aromatics and bring it to a quick boil.
Put the browned chicken pieces back into the pot, along with some of the chopped herbs. Lower the heat, and simmer the ingredients for about 20 minutes.
Insert a cooking thermometer into the meatiest part of one of the larger chicken piece. When the temperature registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the chicken pieces from the pot and set them on a platter; cover it loosely with aluminum foil to keep the chicken warm.
Add a few dollops of cream and a small amount of flour, if desired, to the cooking liquid. Allow the liquid to reduce until it reaches a sauce-like thickness, stirring frequently. Avoid a vigorous boil, which could cause the cream in the liquid to curdle. Add the remaining fresh herbs just before taking the sauce off the heat.
Remove the aluminum foil from the chicken, pour the thickened sauce over the chicken pieces, and serve.
Related Searches
Tips & Warnings
- Opinions vary on what a "true" fricassee is, which certainly gives you room to experiment. Some cooks dredge the chicken in flour before placing it in the hot pan. In addition, one school of thought insists on just lightly sauteing the chicken first, rather than browning it, to keep the final dish as pale as possible.
- For a rustic touch, serve the chicken in the stew pot -- especially if you have high-quality cookware. To do this, place the chicken back in the pot after the sauce has thickened, rather than keeping it on the platter and pouring the sauce over it.

The question at hand is whether citizens of the State of Kansas can rely on an official title from the State before buying a car.
TOPEKA, KANSAS (PRWEB) April 24, 2013
Michael Millett, a criminal defense attorney who focuses on misdemeanor and felony criminal cases in Federal, State, Municipal, Juvenile, and Appellate Courts in the State of Kansas, will be arguing a case before the Kansas Supreme Court on May 1st this year. The argument will be broadcast live at the Kansas Supreme Court Live website and archived along with past sessions of the Court.
On May 1st, 2013, Attorney Michael Millett will stand before the Kansas Supreme Court and argue a case that is expected to have state-wide impact for those who buy or sell a privately-owned vehicle and rely on a State-issued Certificate of Title to determine clear ownership of the vehicle prior to a transfer of ownership through sale. The case (Case No. 104,316: Stanley Bank vs. Bazin Excavating, Inc.) concerns interest in an automobile when a State-issued Certificate of Title showed no lien or creditor that would prevent ordinary sale.
"The question at hand is whether citizens of the State of Kansas can rely on an official title from the State before buying a car," said Millett. "In short, my client thought there was no lien on the vehicle, because the Certificate of Title that the State issued did not show a lien. I think the indicators show that the case has state-wide importance for individuals who rely on information from the State before the sale or purchase of vehicles. I'm looking forward to arguing before the Court and making good law for the citizens of the State of Kansas. I hope that success in this case will help to assure citizens that they can rely on an official Certificate of Title when it comes to determining free and clear ownership of a vehicle by the seller."
The Stanley Bank vs. Bazin Excavating case has already passed the Kansas Court of Appeals. The May 1st, 2013 argument before the Supreme Court will be broadcast live to the public at the website for the Kansas Supreme Court. This is the second time that Attorney Michael Millett has argued a case on behalf of a client before the Kansas Supreme Court. In September of 2007, Millett argued a driver's license case before the Kansas Supreme Court (Case No. 94,033: Martin vs. Kansas Dept. of Revenue).
Those wishing to watch the live broadcast of Attorney Michael Millett's oral argument before the Kansas Supreme Court on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 may do so by visiting the Kansas Supreme Court Live website via the following link: http://live.kscourts.org/live.php.

Hmmm. Nice going WG! I've been pondering that one for my first 100 next year. That report is going to cause me some more pondering.

The weather wasn't as bad as they predicted it would be (no large hail and funnel clouds, woo-hoo!). But there were some early lightning storms close to me that felt way, way too close. Around 8 pm, winds picked up to the point that I was very scared. Do tornadoes happen at night? If a funnel cloud appeared I would not have been able to see it. I sure as heck couldn't run, and had a good chunk of time go to walking into a crazy wind. I am waiting for my friends to finish right now. This race was their idea. I would have never picked gravel roads in Kansas, but this ended as possibly the most beautiful 100 I have ever done. The rolling, tallgrass prairie is covered in wildflowers, and the trees are at their peak. It is stunning. Good race.

Congrats Wriggly, I came on here to see how you did.
I remember seeing you, those one hundred milers were few and far between. Unfortunately my buddy didn't finish. I only ran the 50.
Perhaps that was my bad spelling, or my Australian accent.
hmm, well you looked right at me, but I suppose that doesn't narrow it down. I think for the most part people were running solo, and I managed to hook up with a guy with a southern accent for 49 miles, maybe he stood out because he said something to you as you went by, with his southern twang. I said something too, I'm sure they were amazing words of wisdom.
You were one of the few that looked good out there, it didn't inspire me to do the hundred considering the people peeling off after mile 70 or so. So in a non-lesbian-ish way, ten points for still looking cute 80 miles in.
I did ok, 10:30 hours, I'd have liked to have finished earlier. I got really lucky to meet up with someone easy to talk to, although I would have liked to have gone slower, I had the choice of keeping up with him or going it alone, so it wasn't a hard decision. I thought it was a good race, it only rained for a few minutes of the 50. I'm still sore, particularly my feet, how are you holding up?

DNF. Long story short, had GPS issues and lack of mile mile markers and ability to pace the pace I was supposed to be running (feeling great was not a good thing I guess). Goal 6:00, wanted to go out 5:50 pace (7:00), ended up getting to turnaround (~27 miles) at 5:42 pace for that "oh crap" moment. GPS was finally working and held myself to 7:20s. Injured my back last weekend....re-injured it ~32 miles and that was the end of being able to run. Walked to ~38 miles where my crew found me and took the DNF.
There were some big horses in this race (Braje, Lopez?). I was 4th the first half, third after Braje dropped at the turnaround. As it turned out EVERYONE blew up spectacularly, Lopez(?) won it in 6:17 after coming through halfway on ~5:35 pace. 2nd was some guy who had been a good 10-15min back at the turnaround.
Learned a lot. Looking forward to chasing my white whale with a bigger boat next year. A big thank-you to my crew (WhoDatRunner, flatfooter).

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Review by Broken_Promise
"An uninspired rehash of a great but poorly aged game."
1950s American entertainer Peter Marshall famously once said When we long for life without difficulties, let us remember that oaks grow strong under contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.
The above quote is particularly salient as it relates to Super Mario Galaxy, a game that is triumphant in many respects (its visuals are outstanding for a Nintendo Wii game, and its soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful), but falls far short of the quality I've come to expect from Nintendo titles in other ways (stale game play, at times laughably easy difficulty and a tacked on multi-player are its most troubling issues). The Nintendo team fell well short of the bar SMG 1 set for the sequel here, and from the time I started the game to the time I completed it I felt as if I was playing Super Mario Galaxy 1.5 instead of a fleshed out, fully fledged sequel. Under immense pressure to churn out a masterpiece that might live up to the greatness of the 1st game, the development team did not produce a beautiful gem that might stand the test of time, but instead came up with something substantially less to say the least.
Anyway, onto the meat of the review:
I really felt as if I was playing Super Mario Galaxy 1.5 here, as this iteration in the franchise doesn't really take any great strides in the way that Mario interacts with the game world. The old saying If it ain't broke, don't fix it can make a lot of sense when applied in some situations, but in this case the games creators took it too far. The only noteworthy change in this titles games play when compared to SMG1 is the presence of Yoshi, and with the way he can be found multiple times across levels as if he's a mushroom, he never really felt like a real character and instead was a mere temporary power up for Mario.
The stars also felt really tacked on. The entire process of acquiring them was tedious, to say the least which would be fine if the game was difficult, however, in point of fact SMG2 is one of the easiest Nintendo games I've ever played. Towards the end the challenge does admittedly ramp itself up a notch, but I seldom felt as if I were really being pushed at any point during my 1st play through. I feel that if this was another developer I'd have still been disappointed (but more accepting) of the lackluster difficulty, but for Nintendo to put out a game this easy is an aberration that I'd hope to not soon see repeated.
As a final addendum to my comment on the game play, I was also very unhappy with the multi-player. The title was obviously not developed with the feature in mind, and as a result playing through the game with my brothers for the second play through was an exercise in frustration.
On that note, the visuals are good considering the hardware they're being run on, and the music is some of the best I've ever heard. It breathes life into what is at times a dull experience, and if the soundtrack is available for purchase I intend to get it. This is truly amazing stuff here.
Super Mario Galaxy is a title that would have been considered top shelf three years ago, but now its game play seems a generation old, and the innovation that the Nintendo brand is known for is strangely absent here. For all of the hype about how good this game would be, once I popped it in I found that it more or less played like SMG 1 a game that was transcendent when it was released a few years back but doesn't stand the test of time when compared against newer heavyweight titles like Final Fantasy 13, Tekken 6 and Modern Warfare 2.
I'll end with another famous quote from Mary Anne Radmacher that I'd like to offer to what might be a discouraged development team:
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice in the back of your head that says at the end of the day: I will try again tomorrow.
If we get a SMG3 (and I hope we do), by taking the above quote to heart hopefully the games creators can make something that measures up the original in its ability to capture my heart and imagination as a gamer.
Game play 2/10: Revolutionary stuff when the first SMG came out a few years back, but antiquated and uninspired when ported over to the sequel all these years later.
Graphics 7/10: Some of the best I've seen on the Wii, and easily it's second best feature
Soundtrack 9/10: One of the only reasons I played this through a second time. I can't really do justice to what I listened to when I played this title, and so I'll just say that you have to hear it for yourself.
Controls 3/10: They would have been transcendent a few years back, but the controls feel clunky at times in this newest SMG title.
Story 2/10: It's the same shallow stuff that's always in Mario titles (Bowser kidnaps the princess, cue Mario), but I don't think that this really hurts the game at all. We (or at least I) don't play Mario games for the story. Still, it would have been nice to have something to keep me engaged given the games linear nature and uninspired game play.
Fun Factor/Intangibles 2/10: I really wish I could give the game a higher scorer here, but there isn't really a whole lot being offered. If you've played the 1st one, I don't really think there is anything new here to keep one engaged unless you want to play an expansion pack of the first SMG.
Overall (Not an average) 3/10: Stay away from this one if you've already played SMG1. If you haven't it may be worth a rental, however.

Julie Larson Microsoft Chief explains the reasons behind redesigning Windows 8
by - Casey Nolan | 4 years ago
Comments [ 1 ]
Windows Chief: Julie Larson explained why the company went through an interface change in Windows 8. Clearly, Windows 8 still doesn't make a lot of sense to people. But let's just say that the OS has its pros and cons available to users in the open market. Julie is trying her best to explain several concerns tied to a probable dissatisfaction rate likely to occur in the next few months.
In a recent interview with 'MIT Technology Review', Windows' new chief talked about the concept of live tiles. "Instead of having to find many little rocks to look underneath, you see a dashboard of everything that's going on and everything you care about all at once." Clearly, she was trying to explain Microsoft's effort in trying to bring a high degree of accessibility to Windows 8 users.
But it is not wrong to say that when people use the same style product or OS, with little changes, over and over again, they become mentally accustomed to it. Windows 8 is probably good because it brings a lot of visual changes – The question is: are the people willing to accept those changes? So much so that can they be convinced to buy Widows 8 devices?
Another fact, which is quite clear, is that Windows 8 was designed for latest touch devices. Ms. Larson said that the company replaced keyboard and mouse to a great extent. After finishing their task or in the middle of their work progress, people are being trained to touch the screen if they want to get things going fast.
Well, Ms. Larson, it is going to take a lot of "training" and devices to get the ball rolling. Yes, it is true that touch screen is the future but right now, the overall satisfaction percentage concerning Windows 8 hasn't been very positive. In fact, over the beneath impressive sales figure, Windows 8 lacks concrete elements which CNET experts talked about (and I discussed it in one of my posts recently) in one of its articles.
Julie Larson has to explain and defend those choices that Microsoft made. Otherwise she will be packing her bags by the time Microsoft is ready to release Windows 8 Plus or Windows 9. I wonder what Windows 9 is gonna be like? The biggest question is still tied to customer loyalty. Are the people ready to shift to Windows 8?

Mayhem # 183107
About Me
I LOVE variety. I'm always looking for new things to shoot and other artists to collaborate with. I do many kinds of art and modeling is just one of them. I love makeup and body painting as well. If you've got an idea you want to shoot just strike up a conversation and lets see if we can create some art together.
Please note that while I am willing to do some TFP shoots they must have something to offer my portfolio that I don't have yet. I'll further say that a disk is not my idea a TFP shoot. I expect actual prints as well as a disk. If prints are not possible then I expect some kind of compensation before signing a model release. I do shoot nudes but they are paid shoots only. I do not do nude TFP shoots. I'm pretty flexible on strange ideas involving nudes as long as it's nothing trashy, explicit, or pornographic.
I'm also looking for a photographer to shoot a suicide girls set. Most of you frown upon this because you must sign a photographer release form. Suicide girls is exceedingly picky on the photo sets that they accept. If they do not accept the photo set then the rights do revert back to the photographer. If they do accept the set there are two ways to make money off of it since you can't use the photos if they do want them. The first way is to be a photographer for SG and they pay both the model and the photographer for accepted sets. Or secondly if you do not wish to be bound by their guidelines I will give a percentage for accepted sets to the photographer who shot the set. If they are accepted they do allow a few photos with the suicide girls logo to be used for portfolio purposes. If any of you are willing to shoot an SG set let me know.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
You have windows 7 right?
Does another USB device, like USB drive or USB flash drive work on your computer?
Can you click here, then click on Run now, to try the automatic hardware/USB fix from Microsoft website?
Yes, I have Windows 7 and our other USB devices work on the computer. I clicked on "Fix It" and "run now" and my USB device still says it" requires troubleshooting", "unknown device not working properly" and "stopped device Code 43".
That's really strange.
Sorry I have no further suggestions, let me open your question to other experts.
Please do not wait, another expert will email you if he has any other suggestion. Thanks.
Hi and thanks for writing us here at JustAnswer.com. Please know that to resolve your question may take some back and forth questions and answers.
We are here to help and will do our best to resolve your issue; we are not here to just make money. Also note that we do NOT work for any company and in no way represent them on their products and/or services.
Good morning.
I saw your posting and would like to try and help.
The "device Code 43", does in of itself, indicate that Windows is getting a notice that the device is malfunctioning. Now being you have used a second one and get the same message, this lends to a question I have: Have you used a different cable for the second device check?
I don't know whether I ever got a "Code 43" with the first Kobo eReader I had but did with the second one when I ran "Fix-It" however both Kobo readers came with their own separate cord so the new one it's own cord and I have tried plugging them into different USB ports. With both Kobos I got the Status: needs troubleshooting and the problem could not be fixed by troubleshooting.
Thank you for continuing to work on my problem. I have to head out for a couple of hours but will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thank you for the feedback and I am always happy to be helping out a client.
Since we now know we have two separate units and cords, this almost 100% eliminates a hardware issue with their unit.
Let me ask this: Your Windows 7 Starter Edition, is that 32-bit or 64-bit?
It is a 32 bit. The Kobo has been plugged in and unplugged so many times from the computer without using "eject" because the computer doesn't recognize it, could I have inadvertently caused a problem removing it from the computer without the "OK to eject"?
Willl be back in about an hour. Thanks!
Thanks for the info, and take your time. I will be here until approx 16:30 my time - which is USA central time.
Unplugging and such can cause issues, but USUALLY, what will happen to a user on their device is the device will "loose" all data stored on that unit. This does not appear to be our issue here.
I do need to ask this: When you plug in to any USB port, does Windows still try to find a driver and install each time, or did you notice that the first time in each USB port and now none do such?
I honestly can't remember because I have done it so often - sometimes the computer shows "ereader" in the "devices" section of "devices and printers" along with our other devices (monitor, mouse); sometimes it appears as a small device labeled as a "storage device" in that same section;sometimes it appears as a very large "mass storage device" in a section all by itself labeled "unspecified" - it doesn't matter which section it is "stored" in, it always shows "Status: needs troubleshooting". Whenever I plugged either of the Kobos in to the computer, the Kobo itself always says "connected" and the computer makes the "da-dum" sound.
Am here now for the rest of the morning so will check back frequently - I am on Pacific Daylight time. Thanks!
I am going to open this to other experts, so that you can get more devoted response times from another.
I am having many client's at once right now, and I am finding myself not able to devout enough time like I should to your question.
God bless.
Thanks and have a great day!

Jurors in actor Robert Blake's murder trial took a field trip on Thursday night (13JAN05) to tour the scene of Bonny Lee Bakley's death.
The jurors spent just over an hour retracing Blake's footsteps on the night of the murder, outside California restaurant Vitello's.
The crime scene was recreated for them in a car park outside the restaurant, where Blake and his wife had their final meal together.
Blake, who stands accused of the murder, did not join the jurors but LOS ANGELES TIMES reporter ANDREW BLANKSTEIN, who was allowed to join the tour, says, "The jurors were sombre and silent... The weight of the fact that somebody had been killed there was on their minds."
Meanwhile, the trial swung in Blake's favour yesterday (14JAN05) when a crime scene expert testified in the Van Nuys, California, courthouse that the fact there was no blood on the actor's clothing when police arrived at the scene suggests Blake didn't murder his wife.15/01/2005 01:08

There's never a good time to lose your phone – or have it stolen. But amid the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the odds of something happening to your phone increase substantially. Have you taken the appropriate steps to ensure that you can recover your smartphone if it's lost or stolen?
Thankfully, getting your phone ready for the worst is both simple and free. And you'll get significant peace of mind from prepping for the worst.
Lock your phone with a passcode. This is a simple and effective way to keep a lost phone from becoming the gateway to identity theft, but a staggering number of people leave their phone unlocked all the time. According to security firm Sophos, 67 percent of users don't bother with a passcode. Even a 4-digit passcode (as long as it's not stupidly obvious, like 0000) can dramatically improve your security.
Display your contact information. If you simply misplace your phone or leave it behind in a public location, no single precaution can better ensure your phone will get back to you than simply displaying your contact information on the lock screen. Not all smartphones have the ability to do this automatically, but app stores are brimming with tools that will add this capability for you. On the iPhone, check out the If Found Lock Screen. If you have an Android device, though, you can simply add Owner Information from Security in Settings. Be sure to include an email address as well as a different phone number to make it easy for a Good Samaritan to reach you.
Know how to remotely track and wipe your phone. If you fear that your phone has been stolen, the smart play is to remotely wipe its contents. Thankfully, both Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) make this easy to do. If you have an iPhone, you can use Apple's Find My Phone service (available as an iOS app or on the web as part of iCloud.) Here, you can track the location of your phone, make it ring and completely wipe the device. On the Android front, you can rely on the Android Device Manager to do the same things.
Disable Control Center on the iPhone. If you have an iPhone, you might want to take the precaution right now of disabling the Control Center (the new swipe-up quick access settings screen in iOS 6). You don't need to turn it off completely, but it's a smart idea to disable access to it from the Lock Screen, so a thief can't immediately put the phone in Airplane Mode (which prevents you from tracking or wiping the phone). You can do this from the Control Center option in Settings.

The same day phones went "wireless", kids started behaving a little better when mom or dad were on the the phone. That was the day we learned parents weren't tethered by a 10 foot kitchen phone cord.
Fast forward a few decades and we find that these kids can't stay off the phone. Now, it turns out it's not just kids.
According to a recent survey by Mobile Technology and Nokia, we are so dependent on our mobile phone that, on the average, we check them every six-and-a half-minutes.
That adds up to 150 times a day in a normal sixteen hour "awake day."
After all, we have to check the internet, the latest text, Facebook, a sports score, Twitter, email, and the latest Angry Birds upgrade.
The study further revealed that checking our phone is the first thing we look at when we wake up. Really? Not even a "How was your night, honey?" or, "Wake up! You're drooling on your new pillowcase!"
Do you think people spend too much time on their cell phone?

We're a micro publisher of fiction, roleplaying, board and card games (okay, we haven't published in every category—yet, but we have designed many products in each. We are working on publishing in each, and unlike many micro publishers, we don't cut corners on editing or production values—even though it lowers our profits. Instead we put quality and you first).
Following up a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2014, last Summer we released Arcane Synthesis, our first anthology based on the Cosmoverse. Later this year, we have The Shadow Reaper coming out and other goodies.
We've been writing stories and designing games since the late 70's and figured it was past time we started sharing some of them with the rest of the world. So, naturally we're excited and are working our tails off to polish them up and move forward.
The Cosmoverse Campaign Setting is the creative backdrop for nearly everything we write. Almost 4 decades in the making, the Cosmoverse continues to inspire us to revisit old stories, write new ones, and explore hidden corners of this vast, blended-genre, multi-dimensional reality.
Cosmothea is a blended-genre tabletop roleplaying game. It's a game about high adventure, mystery, and epic stories full of exploration and conspiracies. It's about finding opportunities and making choices. At its core, it's about you the player, and what you will do with the time you have left. Currently under heavy construction in its 5th edition, Cosmothea 5.0 is looking better than ever, but still has a ways to go.
Don't kick yourself, join our Newsletter at the top of this page and stay on top of what we're up to! You are invited to chat in our QT Games forums (or down below). Let's talk fiction, roleplaying, board and card games, movies, comics and art in a safe, friendly environment!

Johannesburg - At least 467,000 disabled children are not going to school, Deputy Minister for Children, Hendriette Bagopane-Zulu, said on Wednesday.
"This year alone, we have 467,000 children of school-going age who are not getting an education," she said in Johannesburg.
"We have a mandate to reduce that and we are working with the department of basic education on that."
She was speaking at the hand-over of an equality report to the department by the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).
Bagopane-Zulu said there would never be enough special schools and that at the moment there were children in special schools who should not be there.
"You don't need disabled kids subjected to special schools."
The very same special schools did not have all the necessary basic requirements like ramps for children on wheelchairs or even functioning toilets, she said.
Bagopane-Zulu said a survey conducted by the department at over 100 special schools in the country showed that only three percent of those schools had the necessary basic needs.
She also spoke against parents who "dumped" their children at special schools and did not take an interest in their education.
Bagopane-Zulu said that with inclusive education, families would remain as units and disabled children would not have to be relocated to schools far away from home.
With a visual disability herself, the deputy minister recalled how she and Commissioner Bokakantla Malatji had to attend the same special primary school, and had experienced being away from their families as children because of their disability.
With November being identified as "disability month", the SAHRC launched the equality report, highlighting some of government's shortfalls in realising and attaining the rights of people with disabilities.
"Children who are severely and profoundly disabled are denied access to education in both mainstream and special schools," said Malatji when delivering the report.
According to the commission, about 10 percent of children with disabilities were not attending school in South Africa.
The commission pointed out that government had failed to comply with the obligations of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) and had yet to submit its report.
Despite some progress by the government, the commission was of the view that much more had to be done.
The deputy minister acknowledged some of the shortcomings, admitted that there were policies and programmes in place, but said putting them into practice was a problem.
She said the report by the commission would assist the department in working through all its challenges.
"We accept the report and will process the contents thereof. We also look forward to working with the commission." - Sapa

Adobe Joins Online Office Fray
The site mostly taps existing Adobe offerings, such as its Buzzword online word processor, acquired last October and its ConnectNow web conferencing service. PDF creation, document sharing, and online file storage round out the offering. The announcement comes together with the company's launch of Acrobat 9, earlier evaluated by PC Magazine.
Adding Adobe's document-handling prowess to its acquision of Buzzword from Virtual Ubiquity, Buzzword is one of the more-capable online word processors available. Online storage comes with a 5 Gbyte cap, and sharing will be via a static URL for the document. The service also lets you embed documents for display on your own sites.
ConnectNow lets users share their screen while chatting, audio- or videoconferencing, and whiteboarding. Meetings get a unique URL, and one meeting participant can take control of another's PC.
The PDF creation capability seems a bit of a come-on, only letting you create five files and urging you to download the full Acrobat software version as well as from the free Acrobat Reader software. Some other online word processors, such as Zoho Writer, let you export documents as PDFs without limits.
The site's features make use of Adobe's PDF, Flash and AIR technologies to extend the browser's capabilties. The Acrobat 9 software will also be able to directly access the online document features. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology is used for both server authentication and data encryption.
The service is available now to the public as a free, open beta. It's compatible with Internet Explorer 6 and later, Firefox 2 and later, and Safari 2 and later, and requires Adobe Flash 9. It should be noted, however, that due to unexpectedly high traffic, the Buzzword service was unavailable at press time.

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. is committed to working closely with librarians to create collections of content that fulfill the informational needs of institutions while providing excellent value.
New Rochelle, NY, December 5, 2011-More mothers are breastfeeding their newborns, but for too short a duration to gain the maximum benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and infants. New observations and a variety of strategies for encouraging women to breastfeed longer are presented in a collection of articles in Breastfeeding Medicine, the Official Journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. The articles are available online.
"The key issues are identified as education of the healthcare providers and the patients and a support system in the early weeks postpartum," writes Ruth Lawrence, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Breastfeeding Medicine and Professor of Pediatrics, University of Rochester School of Medicine, in her Editorial.
Dr. Lawrence emphasizes that this is a global problem. Despite the fact that initiation of breastfeeding has increased to about 75% of mother-baby pairs, the report of the Third Summit on Breastfeeding, held in June 2011 and published in Breastfeeding Medicine (Volume 6, Number 5, 2011), "focused on the deplorable duration in spite of improvement in initiation," she says.
The current issue features a series of articles that propose a variety of approaches, including mechanisms for intervening during pregnancy and after delivery and discharge home. They highlight the important role that community-based public health programs, prenatal education programs including those made available on the internet, and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program can play in encouraging longer duration of breastfeeding. Article topics include: "WIC and Breastfeeding Support Services: Does the Mix of Services Offered Vary with Race and Ethnicity?;" "Early Postpartum: A Critical Period in Setting the Path for Breastfeeding Success;" "What Predicts Intent to Breastfeed Exclusively? Breastfeeding Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs in a Diverse Urban Population;" "An Internet-Based Education Program Improves Breastfeeding Knowledge of Maternal-Child Healthcare Providers;" and "A Structured Public Health Approach to Increasing Rates and Duration of Breastfeeding in Romania."
Breastfeeding Medicine, the Official Journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, is an authoritative, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal published bimonthly in print and online. The Journal publishes original scientific papers, reviews, and case studies on a broad spectrum of topics in lactation medicine. It presents evidence-based research advances and explores the immediate and long-term outcomes of breastfeeding, including the epidemiologic, physiologic, and psychological benefits of breastfeeding.

Fashion has always played with androgyny, but lately it has taken a provocative step onto center stage. Remember when Balenciaga sent a bevy of androgynous-looking models, including the fierce Jana K., down the Spring '11 runway? Since then, we've seen Lea T. smooching Kate Moss on the Love cover, a major moment for the transsexual model who made her debut as the Givenchy muse. Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring '11 ad features Karolina Kurkova leaning in for a kiss with a beautiful blonde that looks like a girl, but it's delicate-looking male model Andrej Pejic. These models are blurring the lines of sexuality and the fashion industry is loving it. Click on to view more androgynous images, then tell us what you think of fashion's latest sexual revolution.

A fire incident occurred at a vacant post office in Chicago where shooting on "The Dark Knight" was being carried out.
Shooting process on "The Dark Knight" in Chicago got interrupted yesterday, April 24, as fire erupted on a local vacant post office used by the crew from the movie to film a heist scene involving The Joker's gang.
District Fire Chief Jose Santiago revealed that insulation inside the building's "very old ventilation system" caught fire shortly before 11:30 a.m., and had nothing to do with the filming. Reports informed that the film crews were at street level working on a scene depicting a yellow school bus crashing through a wall of the building when the blaze broke out.
Fortunately, the fire was soon extinguished with most of the flames being put out by a sprinkler system so that filming was able to resume not long after fire fighters left the locations about two hours later. No injuries were reported.

DFL Congressman Tim Walz and GOP Congressman Erik Paulsen sent Gov. Mark Dayton a letter today urging him to sign a bill that would repeal the state's ban on building new nuclear plants. In the letter, the two congressman argue that nuclear power needs to be part of the state's energy future.
The letter cites a survey saying that 70 percent of Americans favor nuclear energy and on average a nuclear plant created 1,400 to 1,800 high-paying jobs during construction and 400 to 700 jobs once the plant is in operation. It also states that Minnesota's two nuclear plant helped the state avoid releasing 13 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.
"Repealing this antiquated public policy would allow the state to consider a range of factors in reaching decisions on building new nuclear plants, such as used nuclear fuel management and the financial impact on ratepayers," the letter states.
Walz and Paulsen also argue that scrapping the ban would help bring attention to the nuclear waste issue and allow for a "robust debate." Click here to Download Paulsen-Walz Letter to Dayton
Dayton has said he will only support lifting the ban if it will not create additional nuclear waste, includes protections for ratepayers and prohibits reprocessing the spent nuclear fuel to make weapons-grade plutonium.
Both the House and Senate approved bills lifting the ban. A conference committee is working to hash out the differences between the two bills. The measure would then come back for a final vote before the House and Senate before heading to Dayton's desk.

Blairsville educator's book tackles elementary problems
Leisa Clawson Noel has 17 years of teaching experience and, as a result, possesses a pretty good understanding of the issues most students deal with as they advance through the public education system.
She decided to put those learned lessons down on paper and developed them into a book published in September with the challenging title "Every Elementary School Has a Lot to Learn about Respect."
The book follows four characters as they enter the third grade and face situations any elementary school student might encounter. Along the way, the reader meets the students' parents, teachers and principal and gets Noel's take on the best way to approach the various scenarios.
"I think that everybody needs to look at things from both sides," Noel said. "Parents don't always see what the school is seeing, and the school doesn't always see what the parents are seeing. That's what the whole story brings out, that communication is so important and respect should be the center of everything we do."
Noel lives near Blairsville and is a learning support teacher at West Shamokin Jr.-Sr. High School in the Armstrong School District.
After earning her bachelor's degree in education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, she initially taught fifth-grade students at schools in Virginia.
She eventually returned to Pennsylvania and to IUP, earning her master's degree in reading. She was employed at Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School before taking her current position.
Noel sat down in 2008 to write what she at first evisioned as a nonfiction book that would offer parents advice on how to deal with the public school system.
But after writing about 30 pages, "I was bored out of my mind," Noel said. She acknowledged that first version read like the procedural safeguards notice that is distributed annually to parents in her school district.
She put the writing project aside for more than a year before seizing on the idea of recasting it as a work of fiction with characters that live through and learn from school-related situations.
"I thought about creating a character and taking that character through school and talking about the family and the parents and what they're going through," she said. "As a learning support teacher, I've talked to a lot of parents, I've raised my own kids, so I've seen it from both ends."
She created four characters in total — Izzy, a learning support student; general ed student Sawyer; Abel, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); and a gifted student, Hannah.
Once she resumed work on the reconceived book, it took Noel a little over a year to finish writing it.
"Once I figured out what I was doing, it was easy," she said.
She completed most of the writing while her own kids were at practice sessions for various sports or faced a waiting period between tournaments.
"That's where I could write," she said. "When I wasn't around kids, I had a really hard time writing."
For research, Noel recalled her own days as an elementary school student as well as the lessons she'd learned as a mother and the school experiences related by her two natural children, two adopted children and two stepchildren, who range in age from 12 to 26. She also took some of the many scenarios she's seen played out in public schools and applied them the group of third-grade characters she created.
In her tale, cheerleader Izzy doesn't want to tell her mother about an ear infection that won't go away because she doesn't want to miss cheering at the last football game of the year.
Holding back that information, though, leads to problems at school for the girl because she can't hear things correctly, and she ultimately ends up in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Sawyer has grown bigger than most kids his age and loves to play football. But his atypical size causes older kids to bully him.
Abel is excited when some girls at school teach him to do cartwheels but is teased by some other boys who think gymnastics are just for girls. Lastly, Hannah struggles with her intelligence, downplaying her intellect in order to fit in better at school.
Noel also introduces readers to each character's family, their teachers and Mrs. Travail, a teacher-turned-principal who fights for the kids' right to recess.
The book's target audience originally was parents of school-age children, but Noel realized, "If I keep this written at the fifth-grade level, this could be something kids could get a lot of out of, too, identifying with the characters."
Several friends who are fellow teachers helped Noel edit her finished product, and they pointed out it could be good for teachers as well, helping them to recognize situations within their classrooms and how to react to them.
Noel also has university staff reading it to determine if it could be used in teacher training.
In the spring of 2011, Noel sent the finished manuscript to four publishing companies. The following July, Tate Publishing and Enterprises agreed to release the book, Noel said. It may have helped that the company representative she talked with had a friend who had just been through some of the scenarios covered in the book.
It took a full year to get through publishing process, according to Noel, "But boy, was it worth it when I had that book in my hands for the first time," she said.
As a reference for herself as she wrote, Noel drew sketeches of each of her characters using Microsoft Paint software.
She said the book's illustrator, Tate Publishing's Liz Holt, "did a fantastic job of creating those characters from my crummy little dot-matrix drawing. She wanted to know what they were wearing, how they would stand. She was fantastic to work with."
Noel has already started writing a proposed second book in the series, which will follow the characters into middle school. And because middle schoolers are more social, new characters will be introduced, she said.
"Every Elementary School Has a Lot to Learn about Respect" can be ordered in print and e-book form online at http://leisanoel.tateauthor.com. Hard copies also can be found at Amazon and in local Barnes & Noble stores.
Noel will also have books available to purchase at two book-signing events planned in the area, the first being 1-3 p.m. Saturday at the Blairsville Public Library. She will also appear at 2 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Greensburg Barnes & Noble store.
The book retails for $23.99, but copies will be available for a reduced rate at the library event.

Trevor Bayne and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane crew bounced back from an early race incident and had the No. 21 Ford Fusion among the leaders in the closing stages of Saturday's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway, only to be collected in a late race crash that left them with a disappointing 27th-place finish.
Bayne and his Wood Brothers' Ford Fusion were never far from the lead for much of the race. He kept the car in or around the top 10 in spite of a collision with the No. 51 of Kurt Busch on Lap 91.
He was running 12th with 10 laps to go and just two laps later, was swept up in a multi-car crash that destroyed his race car and ended his night.
Team co-owner Eddie Wood said that despite seeing his car towed back to the garage, he was proud of his team's performance.
"We ran well all night, but we got caught up in a crash," he said. "We were able to recover from an earlier incident and still had a shot at a top-10 finish or better, but we didn't quite get there to do it."
Wood promised that when the Sprint Cup circuit runs its final restrictor-plate race of the season at Talladega Superspeedway in October, the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team will have a car as fast as the one that was wiped out at Daytona.
"We'll build a new car and go to Talladega," he said.
But the team's immediate focus is on its next race, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 29.
