Except where specific conditions apply to certain services, the purpose of these terms and conditions is to define how transport services of documents and goods are performed by CHRONOPOST under the CHRONOPOST® brand.
The list of countries served and features of the services offered are available in the commercial brochures published by CHRONOPOST and/or at www. chronopost.fr.
Irrespective of the capacity in which it operates, particularly as forwarding agent or carrier, CHRONOPOST undertakes to route parcels from pick-up to agreed destination using the itinerary, procedure and carriers it may choose.
By ordering shipping, the sender unreservedly accepts these terms and conditions.
Unless they are expressly accepted by CHRONOPOST, no special conditions or other terms and conditions issued by the sender may take precedence over these terms and conditions.
Moreover, no CHRONOPOST agents or their substitutes are authorized to alter these provisions.
The contractual relations are governed by these standard terms and conditions, without prejudice to conventions that apply to international transport by air, road or sea.
The sender undertakes to comply with the following conditions for acceptance:
2.1 Standard parcels:
Conveyable parcels entrusted must comply with the following standards:
Weight: maximum 30 kg. For the Chrono Relais service: maximum 20 kg
Maximum measurements: the total of the length + 2 heights + 2 widths must not exceed 300 cm, the length must not exceed 150 cm. For the Chrono Relais service: the total of the length + 2 heights + 2 widths must not exceed 250 cm, the length must not exceed 100 cm.
Any parcels that do not comply with these conditions will be subject to an additional charge for Non-Standard processing according to the applicable rates.
Non-standard parcels will not be eligible for Chrono Relais service.
2.2 Non-conveyable parcels:
Parcels that present one or more of the following characteristics will be the subject of non-conveyable processing and may be subject to a flat-rate "additional handling charge":
- Maximum measurements: the length or diagonal must not exceed 110 cm
- Minimum measurements: 30 cm x 21 cm, minimum thickness of 3 cm or 200 grams
- parcels of unstable or irregular shapes (spheres, cylinders, rolls)
- parcels poorly or partially wrapped,
- parcels, part of which sticks out,
And in general all parcels that require special manual sorting.
CHRONOPOST may apply the principle of volumetric invoicing if the volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight.
2.3 Non-compliant transport label:
The sender undertakes to give CHRONOPOST labelled parcels.
These transport labels must be applied to the flat surface of the parcel, the barcode must be visible and clearly printed.
Parcels that are poorly labelled or whose label is wrongly positioned, illegible, partly concealed, soiled or that do not enable the barcode to be read will be charged an additional flat-rate cost called "non-compliant transport label" according to the applicable pricing.
Generally speaking, the list of goods that may not be carried includes but is not limited to:
- all goods covered by national and international regulations regarding dangerous substances such as but not limited to ammunition, gasses, flammable, radioactive, toxic, infectious or corrosive materials, as well as all items which, by their nature or packaging, could present a danger to driving or handling staff, the environment, the safety of transport vehicles or damage the other parcels being carried, vehicles or third parties,
- jewelry, clocks and watches, precious stones and metals, coins, cash, banknotes, securities, bearer shares or certificates particularly paper instruments, gift certificates, telephone cards or equivalents as well as any paper or other document subject to legality of cash in transit and used to make a payment fungible,
- live or dead animals or other beings, goods at controlled temperature or perishable foodstuffs, as well as any excise goods under suspension of duty,
- firearms, weapons of war or collection irrespective of whether they are loaded, narcotics, objets d'art, antiques, audiovisual publications or media prohibited by any applicable law or regulations,
- counterfeit products,
- responses to invitations to tender, prequalification dossiers for the awarding of contracts and exam papers.
Internationally, in addition to the goods covered by the above restrictions, the following may not be carried:
- furs, plants and perishable foodstuffs, psychotropic drugs, transferable securities and any items the importing of which is prohibited in the destination country.
Senders undertake to inform CHRONOPOST about any characteristics of goods that are not obvious when such characteristics might affect the shipping of the goods.
Where senders entrust CHRONOPOST with items or documents covered by the above restrictions, such items will be carried at the sender's risk and CHRONOPOST will not be liable.
If the above provisions are breached, senders authorize CHRONOPOST to dispose of the parcels as CHRONOPOST sees fit, including abandoning the routing, and will compensate CHRONOPOST for all the consequences it sustains as a result, irrespective of type.
Moreover, if a sender entrusts CHRONOPOST with goods subject to excise duty paid, without prejudice to the above restrictions, he/she undertakes to comply with the regulatory constraints in force, particularly as regards traceability, to prove if required that he/she has dealt correctly with the duties so that CHRONOPOST may not be disturbed or pursued.
In compliance with the regulations on the safety of air transport, the sender undertakes to implement and comply with the national instructions in force published by DGAC (Directorate General for Civil Aviation) dated May 29, 2007. Furthermore, senders are advised that all parcels loaded into aircraft are subject to safety inspections that may include the use of X-rays.
CHRONOPOST may agree to ship certain dangerous goods covered by exemptions due to special provisions or that are packed in limited quantities as defined by the ADR treaty and IATA regulations, on condition an agreement is made prior to shipping.
In any event, dangerous substances will only be accepted provided the sender complies with the standards applicable to transport labelling, marking, specific documentation and packaging. For certain goods (except for batteries and lithium batteries), the sender must also provide a specific shipping note.
- Contents: the sender is liable for any damage caused to third parties and/or CHRONOPOST by parcels covered by the above restrictions and for all consequences resulting from failure to comply with these restrictions. The sender is responsible for any indications on the shipping note, particularly those relating to the name and address of the consignee which must be precise, accurate and complete to enable the parcel to be delivered under normal conditions. For international shipments, for shipments for which postbox or TSA (P.O. Box) deliveries are accepted, as well as for any services requiring consignee notice, the consignee's mobile phone number and/or e-mail address are compulsory additional indications that the sender must include on the shipping note.
- Packaging: the sender must prepare and pack the parcels on safe premises. They must be packed in closed, strong packaging that is suitable for the contents and shipping requirements, including the successive handling operations inherent to the shipping. Otherwise the sender will be solely liable for the transportation of the parcel.
- Weight: the sender writes the parcel weight on the shipping document. CHRONOPOST reserves the right to rectify any errors or omissions of weight by applying the following rules:
The weight considered for invoicing will be the actual or volumetric weight on the basis of weights given by weighing equipment which is checked regularly.
The sender authorizes CHRONOPOST to adjust sums invoiced in the light of modifications thus obtained.
- Customs formalities: the exporter and/or importer must present all the documents required for completion of the customs formalities in accordance with the applicable regulations. The exporter and/or importer must pay any costs incurred by CHRONOPOST in the event of any inaccurate declaration being made together with any costs incurred by the consignee if the consignee has not paid them. No parcel may be shipped under the temporary exports rules. CHRONOPOST may not be held liable for actions performed or omissions for which the exporter and/or importer or customs authorities are responsible. The exporter and/or importer is solely liable for all the financial consequences resulting from declarations or documents that are inaccurate, incomplete, non-applicable or provided late or for any breach of the provisions of the French Code Général des Impôts (General Tax Code) that may result in CHRONOPOST having to pay additional duties, taxes or fines imposed by the administration concerned.
Parcels that require an additional after sales service to enable the export or import will be the subject of additional invoicing according to the applicable pricing.
- Labelling:
For Same Day and Chrono RDV® services, the sender undertakes to give CHRONOPOST the geocoded information needed for delivery on its labelling, including the postal address for delivery and the relative geographic coordinates, as per the specifications provided.
In the context of customs or security inspections, the sender accepts that CHRONOPOST, in its capacity as an authorized agent, or any government authority including customs is entitled to open and inspect parcels entrusted to it at any time, without the exercising of this right affecting the fact that the sender remains solely responsible for the accuracy of its declarations.
On delivery the consignee must make full, accurate written reserves concerning any damage or missing items. Such reserves must be signed and dated on the proof of delivery.
The digitized signature of the consignee together with reproductions thereof constitute proof of delivery of parcels and the parties acknowledge that such signature has the same legal value as a traditional signature on paper.
Any item held is handed over to the consignee or his/her agent upon presentation of an identity document and after payment of any applicable customs dues.
Unless the sender expresses his/her opposition, the consignee is offered an interactive delivery service as well as a CHRONO RDV service. The consignee thus receives notification of delivery when their parcel has been processed or in case of unsucessful delivery, and may change the following directly with CHRONOPOST:
- the initial delivery date, (within a maximum of 6 days as of the initial date), and/or
- choose a delivery point other than that initially chosen by the sender, i.e. either a post office or a local pick-up location (Pickup shop or CHRONOPOST depot) offered by CHRONOPOST inside the initial delivery perimeter, or choose the address of an identified neighbor.
In the event of the consignee giving CHRONOPOST instructions to postpone the delivery day, the sender is not entitled to claim compensation based on lateness.
The consignee's mobile phone number and/or e-mail address are compulsory additional information given to CHRONOPOST on transport labels and/or in the electronic files sent at the end of the day in order to notify the consignee.
CHRONOPOST is liable for loss or material damage caused to parcels during transport or for non-delivery, except where the sender or consignee is at fault, where there is force majeure, an inherent defect in the item or inadequate packaging which constitute some but not all the reasons for CHRONOPOST not being liable.
Where CHRONOPOST's liability is established, CHRONOPOST is liable for the original value of the goods, the cost of repairing them or the direct cost of reconstituting documents. This liability is limited to €250 per parcel and will only be paid on presentation of supporting documents.
The indemnity limit for Chrono 18, Chrono Classic and Chrono Relais Europe services is fixed at €23 per kilogram, the maximum indemnity per parcel being limited to €690.
In the event of the parcels concerned containing filled-out checks or bank cards, CHRONOPOST is only liable for the direct costs of reconstituting the said checks or cards up to the aforementioned limits. Under no circumstances may CHRONOPOST be liable for the face value of the filled-out checks contained in the shipment, the loss of cash due to lateness or losses occurring during routing or the consequences of checks being refused for late presentation or the illegal use of content.
For shipments sent within the country, lead-times are understood as follows:
- for processing between Monday and Friday. If parcels are dropped off in a post office or Chronopost depot however, processing lead-times are understood to be from Monday to Saturday morning.
Collection other than from post offices or Chronopost depots on Saturday is possible once a study on the operational and economic feasibility has been performed. If this proves possible, the agreed service will be subject to the application of an additional charge for the said processing.
- for delivery between Monday and Friday except on public holidays. Depending on the services, Saturday deliveries are available as an option.
Actual lead times may be one day longer for some coastal islands, PO boxes, poste restante and sorting on arrival services (TSA).
For Corsica and the day after a public holiday, delivery may take place on that day without any commitment regarding lead-time.
For international shipping, lead-times are understood based on processing from Monday to Friday except items dropped off on Saturdays, for which lead-times start on the following Monday. Deliveries are made on days that are considered working days, other than public holidays, in the country of destination.
In the event of late delivery for which it is responsible and for loss which can be substantiated, CHRONOPOST undertakes to pay compensation that may not be greater than the cost of carriage (excluding dues, taxes and miscellaneous costs) on written request as per the claim procedure defined in clause 10 below.
Parcels that are the subject of non-standard processing will not be eligible for a refund in the event of late delivery.
CHRONOPOST may not be held liable to cover any intangible or indirect loss irrespective of the cause.
The sender may insure the content of parcels up to the maximum authorized limits, except for restricted good and items containing filled-out checks and bank cards. Such insurance is subject to payment of the corresponding premium given in the tables and conditions shown on the commercial brochures published or available at www.chronopost.fr or specific contractual conditions.
The sender must declare the value before tax of the parcel, as of the first euro, and pay the premium due.
The insured value automatically replaces the limit of indemnity fixed in clause 7.1.
The insurance covers loss or damage to goods carried.
It does not cover intangible damage, losses resulting from lateness or indirect losses such as loss of market share or profits or loss of use. This insurance does not cover faults committed by the sender or the consignee, defects, inadequate packaging, terrorist attacks, popular uprising, riots, circumstances of war and any nuclear damage. As CHRONOPOST takes out such insurance on the sender's behalf, the sender has direct recourse against the insurer to cover its loss.
This service, which is reserved for businesses that have a contract with CHRONOPOST, is available for dispatches emanating from or for delivery to Metropolitan France, the Principality of Monaco and French Overseas Territories.
The sender will enter the sum corresponding to the value of the goods shipped on the special "Chrono Retour Express de Paiement" shipping note. This sum shall not exceed €7,500 including tax.
The sender will state the name of the person or company to which the check must be made out and the full name and address of the person to whom the check must be returned.
The stipulation concerning payment by return obliges the consignee to pay the sum required by means of a correctly made out check in return for the delivery of the goods.
CHRONOPOST's liability will come to an end at the time of the remittance of payment to the sender of the sum mentioned on the shippinh note.
The stipulation concerning payment by return does not in any way modify the provisions set forth in Articles 7 and 8.
If the payment beneficiary is unable to cash the check this cannot, regardless of the cause, in any way render CHRONOPOST liable.
Except in cases of force majeure, in the event of loss of the payment tendered, CHRONOPOST will be liable for the sum mentioned on the shipping note, subject to a maximum limit of €7,500 including tax.
Subject to forfeiture and claims being inadmissible, any claims must be sent specifically to the "Customer Service" in writing, the address of which is given on the shipping note, within the following deadlines:
- national shipping: within three (3) days of delivery for businesses or fourteen (14) days following delivery for consumers.
- international shipping: within twenty one (21) days of delivery for all businesses or consumers.
Claims must state the grounds on which they are based and be accompanied by proofs of the loss suffered (transport label, purchase invoice, photos of the damage, etc.).
Claims will only be admissible if the shipping charge has been paid.
If no detailed reserves have been entered on the proof of deivery by the consignee, the person making the claim must provide proof that the damage took place during carriage and show that the damage can be attributed to the transport.
The service provided is invoiced in the light of the area of destination, the type of service provided and the actual or volumetric weight of the parcel.
CHRONOPOST may apply the volumetric invoicing principle if the volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight. The volumetric weight is computed as follows: (length cm x width cm x height cm)/5000.
The prices in force will be revised in the event of any significant fluctuations in CHRONOPOST's costs as a result of conditions beyond the latter's control, such as the cost of fuel (Art. 17 of the standard contract – decree no. 99-269 of April 6, 1999, modified by decree No. 2007-1226 of August 20, 2007 and art 38 of Act No. 2008-776 dated August 4, 2008).
Non-compliance with the regulation concerning the integration of fuel cost increases in the transportation prices is punishable by law.
Concerning parcels for which a correction of the address has been necessary or which have been sent back to the sender, as well as shipments with several parcels sent to the same consignee, an additional cost might be invoiced, according to the applicable pricing.
Concerning shipments to Corsica, as well as to zones with difficult access (islands, mountains, etc.), or to remote regions, an additional cost will be invoiced per parcel according to the applicable pricing.
The fact of failing to provide compulsory additional information (the consignee's mobile phone number and/or e-mail address) may give rise to additional invoicing as per the applicable pricing.
Payment shall be made within the agreed time and shall not exceed thirty days as from the date of the issuing of the invoice (Article L 441-6 of the French Commercial Code).
Where payment is made by SEPA direct debit, prior notification of each direct debit must be given at least 5 working days beforehand.
In the event of late payment or non-payment, all sums due will become payable immediately by right, without the necessity of any prior payment notice, and will also give rise to lateness penalties calculated on the basis of the refinancing rate of the European Central Bank (the "Refi rate") increased by 10 percentage points plus a flat-rate recovery charge of forty (40) euros, without prejudice to damages or other costs which CHRONOPOST reserves the right to claim.
Any sums due will run as from the due payment date until the date of their effective payment. The parties agree that their reciprocal receivables and debts arising from the performance of these terms and conditions may not be offset on the sole initiative of either of the two parties.
No discount will be given in the event of early payment.
All import duty and other charges payable on parcels will be payable on delivery.
If an exporter opts for DDP delivery, this will be payable by the exporter and payable on the invoice subject to the conditions of article 12.
The sender expressly acknowledges that CHRONOPOST has a contractual possessory lien representing a lien and preferential right with respect to all goods and documents in CHRONOPOST's possession, as security for claims (invoices, interest, costs incurred, etc.), which CHRONOPOST holds against the sender.
If any of the provisions of these conditions proves invalid or is deemed null and void, all the other provisions will continue to apply.
All actions are subject to a one-year statute of limitation as of the delivery date or the day on which delivery should have occurred.
All the data collected about the sender and the consignee are necessary for the performance of the transport services.
CHRONOPOST undertakes to protect the confidentiality of personal data and information provided by the sender and/or the consignee and to process them in compliance with the amended French Data Protection Act dated 6 January 1978.
CHRONOPOST hereby gives notice that this data will be used by its own staff and any third parties located both inside and outside of the European Union that participates in the performance of the services, in particular:
- to perform the transport service,
- to consolidate and personalize communication particularly by sending newsletters, special offers and special e-mails in the context of personalizing the business relationship,
- to measure levels of satisfaction of consignees and improve CHRONOPOST offers and services through e-mail and telephone satisfaction surveys.
In this context CHRONOPOST may have to send data to third parties located outside the European Union in strict compliance with the regulations.
If the sender is a business customer, it undertakes to have met all the legal formalities necessary for processing the personal data it uses provided by its customers and to ensure the protection thereof. In particular the sender undertakes to give consignees prior notice of the transfer to CHRONOPOST or any third parties involved in the performance of the services of their personal data for the performance of the service, particularly their postal contact details, e-mail address and telephone number(s).
Contracting parties may at any time exercise their right to access the file, their right not to be canvassed and their right to correct or delete information about them by sending a request, giving their e-mail address, surname, forename and postal address, to: Chronopost SAS – Direction juridique – 3 avenue Gallieni 94250 GENTILLY
These terms and conditions are subject to French law. Any disputes relating to them brought by business customers come under the sole jurisdiction of the Paris Commercial Court.

BuyingIf you're in the market for a new RV, look for a fuel-efficient model. Last summer, Damon Motor Coach introduced the Avanti, a Class-A clean diesel motorhome that promises to get at least 14.5 miles per gallon. That may sound dismal, but it's more than 80% better than the average RV, which gets just 8 mpg. The Avanti -- with an aerodynamic design that the manufacturer calls "the most drivable Class-A motorhome" -- starts at $144,060. Sportsmobile offers Class-B motorhomes, also known as camper vans. The company converts Ford ( F), Dodge and Chevrolet/ GM ( GM) vans into custom RVs with fuel-efficiency ratings between 12 and 20 miles per gallon. Base costs vary depending on the van model: A Sportsmobile 2009 Ford RB Van starts around $56,000, while the more fuel-efficient Sportsmobile 2009 Dodge Sprinter RB Van starts around $73,000.

I seem to have a issue with my forums regarding User Upgrade. I had a guy donate, and he never got his forum rank or anything, he didn't get listed in Active upgrades either, but the money went through and his subscription did activate as it should.
Some points I've checked or tried:
- The IPN according to PayPal is ENABLED with a URL that works, I've copied the URL it's enabled it and tried it in my browser and it redirects correctly: "http://phunbox.eu/payment_callback.php"
- The E-mail address in PayPal configuration in XenForo Userupgrades is correct, the payment wouldn't succeed else?
- The "xf_user_upgrade_log" in MySQL does show transactions and subscriptions with info. No other errors than "Request not validated", which seems to appear after I just login but don't pay for a sub. So I suppose the IPN is working, as the forum do get messages about this?
- The board URL is correct, I guess so? It's "http://phunbox.eu"
- No errors in Server logs or similar..
I don't know what else I can check or troubleshoot this issue, but for me it looks like the forums do get the message from IPN, but not processing it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Overview Edit
Launched in December 2012, on the basis of a joint initiative by Commissioner Malmström and Attorney General Holder following dialogue in the EU-US Working Group on Cybersecurity and Cybercrime, the Global Alliance is a political initiative under which 53 countries have voluntarily undertaken a number of commitments to strengthen their national framework in order to fight child sexual abuse online, identify, protect and support victims, reduce the availability of child pornography, prosecute offenders and raise awareness.
The European Commission served as the Secretariat of the Global Alliance for the first two years, and published a report in February 2014 on the commitments made by participating countries and information for policy makers and the general public on trends and threats in this field. The Chair and Secretariat role was handed over to the United States in 2014.

The scramble format is one of the most popular in charity golf tournaments. The scramble format usually involves four players to a team but can also involve two players on a team. In a four-player scramble, all four players tee off. The players determine the best shot of the four and make their second shots from that spot. This is continued for each hole. There are several different versions of this game.
No Repeater
After the first shot, each player hits the ball from the spot of the best first shot, as in a standard scramble. However, in this version, the same golfer's shot cannot be used twice in a row. This prevents one golfer from dominating the action.
Best Team Putting
Putting is one of the keys to scoring in golf. Count the number of putts each team takes. The team with the lowest number of putts wins. If the first player makes his putt, there is no reason for any of the other players to putt. As a result, that team would be credited with a "1," the lowest possible score on that hole. If the team doesn't make its putt until the fourth player, then the team gets a "4" on that hole. This doesn't impact the overall scoring on the scramble, just the team putting score.
Opposite Scramble
This format works best when the course isn't too crowded and participants are all good players. This version uses the shortest drive off of which to play the second shot, instead of the best drive. This tests the group's ability to play the game. Players must negotiate more distance, making the second shot tougher. Struggling players can make the round last much longer and more challenging.

1 word 10 tries Fun, but if I solve all puzzles within the 10 tries, why does it still tell me I failed? Very discouraging.

This gm its ok n nice but it wld b better if it had an option to turn off d ANNOYING Music off wthout turning d sound off
Shirley Allen

Rhonda Davis
Sanron So far fun. A little more time needed.
Raheela Ahmad
Great game This is a great time passer. It looks like I'm the only one who seems to be enjoying the music.
Andrea Salisbury
Enjoyable, but... ...there are only 3 degrees of difficulty and 20 words to guess per level (for a total of sixty). If you can spell well, have common sense, and use your cognitive, lateral & deducive thinking skills, you will finish all levels within an hour. You'll also very likely find this game to be anything but challenging... boring... and a waste of your time.
Deb Pevner
Finally found a game for me. I love word games and this my game. Hard but doable. Found it additive and play every day.

African Style Broccoli
Recipe by NcMysteryShopper
I found this on the web after searching for African recipes that included broccoli for the Zaar World Tour 2005. It was on the mom-mom website.
Top Review by FrankieandJohnny
This is the second time I've made this and I love it! The first time I used sour cream and pine nuts and the second time I use plain yogurt and crushed peanuts. The yogurt worked fine but I liked it better with pine nuts. Also, it's important to let the veggies cool a bit before adding the sour cream - I didn't do that and the heat made the sour cream too runny. Great recipe!

Media Studies Final
Part One:
This song is called Hero by Nickleback it is a rock song from along time ago, I picked this because it was from a good movie.
I had picked this song because it is a really nice song and makes everything a lot more intense.
The songs theme or hidden meaning behind it is that itwas inspired by Spider-man and has a vigilante feel to it. The song talks about taking action and not waiting on a hero to save us. This central theme fits Spider-man well since he has the persona of a loner and vigilante who likes to do things on his own in his own way. The song features a verse where the protagonist has lost faith in love because the world is full of killing. " Someone told me love would save us But, how can that be look what love gave us A world full of killing and blood spilling That world never came." This is a direct take from the Spider-man character since Peter Parker experienced the tragic death of his U. It is the lack of belief in a hero destined to save humanity. The man screams his frustration in waiting for such a hero and vows to bring his own redemption by holding on to the wings of the eagles. This is a term that refers to spiritual redemption through personal growth, or so it sounds anyways back to the point this man is screaming out to God because the love that is shown has only made more damage and that it needs to change.
I think everyone that has listened to the song had found it appealing because not only is it catchy but it was made for the spider-man movie and who doesnt like spider-man right
I don't think the music adds or takes away from what the artist is trying to say because it portrays it perfectly. the music video also proves that it is just as good and shows the meaning within the video.
In my honest opinion i think the artist had made this song for everyone to relax and listen to. for the kids it s a catchy song and for the teens to adults a bunch of hidden meanings that could vary, i could even be far from the real reasoning behind the song. i think he was trying to reach out for everyone to hear.
Part Two:
Favorite Rapper alive is by far Eminem, Slim Shady, or Marshal Mathers which ever one you'd know him by.
1. As a nine-year-old, Eminem was beaten so badly by a school bully that he spent over a week in a coma. His music has since been credited with helping to bring more than one fan out of similar states, including a twelve-year-old girl who was hit by a car in Northumberland.
2. As a youngster, Marshall harbored ambitions to become a comic book artist rather than a rapper, which explains various animated threads through-out his career, including the Dubya-baiting 'Mosh' video and The Slim Shady Show series.
3. The Slim Shady moniker may never have materialized if he'd pursued one of his pre-fame jobs as a cook at a family restaurant in Michigan. Still, you can take the white trash outta the trailer park, but old habits die hard: Em's a Taco bell man nowadays.
4. Reckon Marshall's turbulent marriage divorce seesaw with on off wife Kim mirrors the family unit's decline? That's nothing: his grandmother Betty Hixson comfortably eclipses those antics with five walks up the aisle. Nearly halfway there, Em'…
5. Despite a tearaway image and numerous brushes with the law, Mathers' didn't clock his first arrest until aged twenty, appre-hended for shooting at a cop car with a paintball gun. No word on whether the aftermath resembled a scene from Shady's all-time favorite movie, classic gangster flick 'Scarface', but we'll take a punt on no…
6. Another blond-bonces establishment up setter, Peter Stringfellow, shares Eminem's birthday. Also born on October 17th are Fugees rapper Wyclef Jean, Ziggy Marley and the late motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel.
7. Recently re-crowned King of Pop himself Micheal Jackson co-owns rights in Em's back catalogue, despite publicly pillaring Mr. Mathers for depicting him as a flammable plastic surgery-riddled sex offender in the 'Just Lose It' video. When ol' Wacko and Sony/ATV Music Publishing acquired Famous Music LLC in 2007, the purchase included hits like 'Without Me' and 'The Real Slim Shady'.
8. Moby bears no grudge despite also being on the receiving end of Eminem's video nasties. "He is, I think, a really remarkably talented MC," the bald-headed producer admitted last year. "If I was to meet him I would probably compliment him for being so talented. Some of his rhymes are really pretty impressive."
9. At the risk of branding Eminem a hypocrite, however, he wasn't so keen on parodies when poodle-haired musical Weird Al Yankovic came a-calling. Yankovic had permission refused to film a video for 'Lose yourself' take-off 'Couch Potato'.
10. Adding to the list of musicians rumored to have attracted attention from the US administration, unreleased Eminem song 'We As Americans' purportedly nudged the American secret service awake thanks to lyrics including . Bush, not Obama, was the target of his ire.
His genre of music is RNB Hip Hop Rap
Eminems music has always had really good meaning behind all of his songs. they have always made people think and give them a feel that you aren't the only one going through problems. a lot of his music people can relate to because a lot of his songs have him talking about not having anything and fighting to survive. he fought to survive everyday like me. it may not seem like it now but even just a year n a half ago i was struggling and heading down the wrong path but music was always there for me. some people argue with him being the best in the rap industry because of his age but Eminem is still one of the best rappers alive regardless. the way he raps is pure skill and talent, people only want to be able to have the same rap flow
Eminem is worth 190Million dol
[Hook - Rihanna:]
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[Verse 1 - Eminem:]
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh, well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public. Excuse me
For wanting my cake and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
When I blew; see, but it was confusing
'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (wooh!)
Hit the lottery, oh wee
But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
It was like winning a used mink
Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think
'Cause I'm
[Hook - Rihanna:]
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Well, that's nothing
[Verse 2 - Eminem:]
Now, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and don't squander it
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, pondering'll do you wonders.
No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders.)
I think it went wandering off down yonder
And stumbled on 'ta Jeff VanVonderen
'Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer it
My OCD's conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[Hook - Rihanna:]
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Well, that's nothing
[Verse 3 - Eminem:]
Call me crazy but I have this vision
One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
MC's, blood get spilled and I'll
Take you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played that
Pumped up feeling and nothing to say back
To the kids who played him
I ain't here to save the children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it and then relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
Straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
[Hook - Rihanna:]
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Well, that's nothing
The message of theses videos are pretty violent, and deal with a lot of gang related problems. the similarities are that they all involve the same aspects of being a gangster, or head honcho. the differences is the style of rap some can keep a constant fast speed while others take it slow then fast or just slow. they are depicted as people of high power with no authority but do what they do anyways. the life style that is shown in the videos is that drugs are good and will always be good for you if you need them that they are easy to find. there is no popular culture shown in any of these videos just drugs nd violence. This music has influenced me not to do any of the things shown in the videos because it is illegal. it has no influence on me except to bring out my inner rapper.
The rap songs by Eminem are all mostly like the same style but different flows with the instrumental. they all have many different themes and messages behind them. all of the songs are mostly the same except the meaning of to why he says what he says. throughout his life it wasn't good. he had no good life really when he was growing up. everything wasn't going well and he struggled with his downfalls. music always had been there for him. it was his getaway from reality. it didn't take the problems away but it did clear the air to let his emotions get the best of his words. his life had struggled because of how he was living his mom was a drunk , drug abuser and someone who just hasn't realized they could do so much better without those drugs. that is why he got into music was to show how he could change his life for the better.

I also sent a thank you/xmas card to Kubo-sensei, I was able to get his address at Weekly Jump. Lia Schiffer I know I showed it to you a few weeks ago, to everyone else behold the super-chibi epic cuteness that is Ulquiorra in a Santa suit!
I did it in silver card stock so that it would look winter-y (yeah I know that's not a word) and also so you can't tell what my markers started to run out. Also, if you are not already aware, Bleach 302 will be the last new episode for this year, Bleach will return on January 4th with a Bleach new year special, hooray finally my fan-girl fantasies of a Bleach holiday special have come true! So starting December 22 until January 2nd, I will be on a two week hiatus, and I will not be able to access a computer from December 26-January 1st, because I will be partying down South for a week. So, if I don't respond to any messages between then, I'm sorry. Also remember Voting is open for January's featured articles. So if you want to vote for the monthly featured articles, just click these links:
Featured Article, Featured Picture and Featured Quote!
Now with all of that out of the way, let's do this thing.
I LOVED THIS EPISODE! I have already watched the episode 3 times on Crunchyroll! I loved the pacing, the action, music, the art, the animation, everything was extremely well done. I loved GIN's EYES!
I mean I thought Gin was hot in episode 297, but this blows it away, I mean THE HAIR!
Speaking of hair, Aizen's hair was done beautifully. I was worried that Pierrot might make it look too stiff, but it flowed so naturally, I almost touched my macbook.
Plus I am glad they kept the purple sclera and the gray irises. It's really creepy! Plus Aizen is the only person I know that can make purple so BADa%$! Well, maybe if Barney the purple dinosaur became a ninja (yes I am that old to remember that), but other than that Aizen owns purple!
I love how they did the flashes of all the different character's who's lives are now in danger! I actually started to cry a little bit, because we know what's coming...WHY KUBO! I know he had contributed everything that he could as a character and his plot-line had finished BUT WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!
-5 minutes later after uncontrollable sobbing-
(Sniffles) Oh, sorry about that! ...Anyway
I love how they added the richness of the sky of the Soul Society, the same way that it was in Fade to Black. I mean look how much richer the color is.
The acting in this episode was wonderful. You could feel how helpless Ichigo was, his father's determination to save Karakura Town, how alarmed Gin was with Aizen. I loved it when Gin said, "Captain Aizen?" continuously as the cleaner zoomed towards both of them. Again I have so much praise for this episode.
The omake was also very good! I loved everyone's dead-pan reaction to Byakuya's "design."
Ok Final Rundown
- Story 9/10
- Art/Animation 10/10
- Music 9/10
- Acting 10/10
- Omake 7/10
Overall I give Bleach 301 a 9 out of 10
Since next week will be my final blog of 2010, I am going to share my favorite Bleach moments of 2010, and what can we look forward to in 2011, as we enter into Bleach's 10th year of publication. I would love it if you guys did the same.
See You Next Time for my Review of Bleach 302, and a year in review! --Lemursrule (talk) 04:17, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Sausage Potato Lasagna
Recipe by ratherbeswimmin
Yes, this takes some effort but it is scrumptious. I think it is even better the next day.
Top Review by Sackville
I put this recipe in too small a pan and it bubbled and spilled all over my oven, making a horrible mess -- all entirely my fault -- but you know what? I don't care a bit because it was the tastiest recipe I have had in ages!! Meat and two veg all covered in a creamy, garlicky sauce and baked until golden brown. How you could call that anything less than incredibly yummy I do not know. I also like to call it delicious, mouthwatering, scrumptious, irresistable and definitely a comfort food. My only recommendation? Make sure you use the right sized pan :-)

Senate Okays Bill Stopping Drivers' Licenses For Illegals
The New York State Senate has passed legislation that would stop Governor Spitzer's plan to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens by requiring a social security number or proof of authorized presence in the United States to obtain a New York State drivers' license or non-driver identification card.
"The public is united that the governor is wrong on his plan to give drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants," said Senator James L. Seward. "It was done in secret without consulting the legislature or the county clerks who have to administer the program, and it sends a terrible message about the rule of law in America. This is about our security, and closing a loophole created by the governor."
"I have never seen such strong and united opposition to a proposal by the governor," Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno said. "Governor Spitzer's plan to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens has incensed New Yorkers in every part of the State and every political party because they see the threat it would pose to public safety and security. The governor insists on moving forward with this plan, but today the senate will act on legislation to stop it. I urge the assembly to pass this bill to send a clear message to the governor that he should drop this plan."
The legislation (S.6484) approved by the senate would require applicants for drivers' licenses or non-driver identification cards to submit social security numbers. When a social security number cannot be provided, the applicant must demonstrate he is ineligible to get a number and provide satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
"My legislation ensures that the most important form of personal identification, the New York state drivers license, maintains its high standard of security and integrity," Senator Padavan said. "This comprehensive legislation reverses the Spitzer administration's dangerous policy that grants illegal aliens drivers licenses and enacts the necessary safeguards to help eliminate the fraudulent issuances of drivers licenses throughout the state while helping to protect the safety, security and well-being of all New Yorkers."
The senate held a public hearing on the legislation last week. Experts on national security, immigration, secure drivers licenses and ID cards, and representatives of the families of 9/11 victims spoke out against the governor's plan, calling it a threat to security.

Jaya invited the wrath of the MNS by commenting at the audio release function of Drona that she would speak in Hindi, as she belonged to Uttar Pradesh. Raj Thackeray demanded public apology from Jaya for the anti Marathi comment, threatening that all Bachchan films and endorsements would be banned if she didn't comply to it. Jaya apologised through a newspaper, but still MNS demanded a public apology.
MNS activists even forced the producers of the film The last Lear to cancel its premiere yesterday. Finally Amitabh Bachchan came up and offered an apology. He said that he would apologise if his wife's comments have hurt the sentiments of the people. Following the apology, Raj Thackeray withdrew the agitation. He said that Jaya should have apologised but accepted Amitabh's as he is the head of the Bachchan family.
Well, the Bachchans must be heaving a big sigh of relief now. At least Amitabh's film The Last Lear could make a peaceful release.

Your BMW dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your 524td. You bought your 524td because its sporty handling and European styling appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Anyone who drives a BMW knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Obviously, you bought your 524td because you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
The thousands upon thousands of revolutions our engines make each day would eventually tear them apart without lubrication. The Purolater (the first oil filter) was invented in 1923, and your BMW 524td engine benefits from the innovations made a century ago. Your BMW 524td oil filter traps the dirt and metal shavings generated by the engine as oil flows through it so it remains clean.

My wife moved out due to her perceptions and fears of my relationships with other women. I'm willing to change my behaviours but I also need her to change hers (ignoring me, not being my companion, allowing her toxic friends to influence her thoughts and behaviour about our marriage, and her excessive spending patterns) so that I don't seek emotional connections elsewhere and so that we bond with one another and go places and do things together and finish raising our son into his adulthood together, and growing old together having some fun and enjoying adventures together. It's that simple. I am tired and exhausted with the emotional and financial roller coaster ride and we both deserve better. She cannot afford to live on her owns and is often overdrawn at the bank and relies on me (lies about why) to bail her out financially and I cannot afford to pay for 2 homes while taking care of myself and the kid whom she left at home with me. I appreciate her trust in leaving him with me while she figures this out for herself. But, I want my family back together. I will give and do whatever is required (ok, with a few exceptions. I will not become socially isolated again). I beg for insight, guidance, and help to fix this problem. I can't fix it alone and need her to engage and commit to our marriage and to work with me on fixing things. I can live without sex (a different story that has to do with her medical needs and her hormonal status) but not without the friendship and companionship and affection. Please pray for us. Please help us. I spend my days and evenings at work for the greater glory of God putting my given skills and abilities to helping others make their lives better, repair and renew their relationships and marriages, and I do this because it is my calling. I ask for some small reward for this. Bring my family back under one roof. Bring my wife home. I will give anything. I am almost out of faith and out of hope. I survived the holidays but it was very close. I become horribly and terrifyingly suicidal but I find solace in knowing that this shall pass and is simply another Dark Night of the Soul but I need light. Please bring my wife home to me. I will change anything and I need her to make changes and we can be ok again. Please do not forsake us. My son deserves better. My wife deserves better. And, even the imperfect that is me, deserves better.

History of the Process
Investment casting, the process used at Hitchiner® Manufacturing to produce intricately detailed near-net-shape castings, is one of the oldest and also the most modern of the metallurgical arts. Hitchiner® employs the latest scientific advances in CAD-CAM design and manufacturing, automated systems, conveyorization, robotics, countergravity casting techniques and other innovations to produce the highest quality investment cast parts available today.
Hitchiner® castings are at work in the fiery combustion chambers of jet aircraft, in the sub-zero vacuum of space, on the world's streets and highways and in a myriad of other applications. Yet, the root of this technology, the cire perdue or "lost wax" process dates back many thousands of years. The artists and sculptors of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Han Dynasty in China, and the Benin civilization in Africa used the lost wax method of casting to produce their intricately detailed artwork of copper, bronze and gold.
It is remarkable that the art of lost wax casting was so widely known in ancient times. It is not an easy process and calls for considerable skill in its execution. The Aztec gold-smiths of pre-Columbian Mexico used the lost wax process to create much of their elaborate jewelry. Unfortunately, few examples of this work survived the plunder of the conquistadors. Countless masterpieces were melted down into gold bars to enrich the Spanish treasury. The quality of the few pieces which have survived demonstrate a mastery of the process which must have taken many years of trial and error to develop. Accounts of the methods used are provided in the book by Friar Bernardino de Sahagun, who spent 60 years in an intensive study of Aztec Mexico. Each step in the process, which is described and illustrated in his writings, was told to him by the Indians themselves.
Some of the finest remaining examples of pre-Columbian Mexican casting were discovered in the 1930s at Monte Alban, the sacred mountain of the ancient Zapotecs near the city of Oaxaca. Many gold artifacts found there were decorated with wirework presumably made by dipping threads into melted wax and applying them to the beeswax pattern prior to casting.
In the city of Benin, now a part of Nigeria, brass smiths continue to produce lost wax castings using a method passed down through the ages from one generation to the next. A study of their methods provides a living example of the early history of the investment casting process.
The brass casters at Benin begin with a core of clay kneaded into a mass. They shape the clay into the approximate size and shape of the article to be made. These cores are then allowed to dry thoroughly in the sun for several days.
The brass smith creates a pattern for the casting by covering one of these cores with beeswax and carefully modeling it into the exact shape desired. Thus, each casting is a unique hand formed work. When the wax form is finished to the artist's satisfaction, it is covered in a thick coating of clay. Sometimes the cores are made to be self supporting, in other cases small pins are used to keep the core centered. The first layer of clay is applied as a very fine slip. Before the pattern is fully sealed in this coating, a thin roll of wax is added to form a channel into which the molten metal will be poured. Subsequent layers of a thicker clay are added, gradually investing (covering) the form completely, creating a mold. This mold is allowed to air dry thoroughly.
When a batch of molds have been created and are ready for casting. they are placed in a fire and heated so that the wax will melt and can be poured off. The clay molds are further heated to a point where they are sufficiently fired to permit the pouring of the molten metal without causing the shell to burst. Meanwhile, pieces of brass are melted in crucibles on a nearby forge fire. The fire on the forge is stoked by a manually operated bellows.
Immediately prior to the pour, the molds are taken from the fire and placed upright in spaded earth. A crucible of metal is taken from the forge with long tongs and the molten brass is poured into the open mold. The brass smith holds a wooden stick in his other hand during the pour and places it on the edge of the crucible to help insure a smooth flow of metal into the shell. Soon after casting, the molds are broken open, the shell knocked off and the final object is cleaned, filed and polished. Benin lost wax castings can be found in museums throughout the world.
Shortly after the dark ages in Europe, the industrious sculptor and goldsmith, Benvenuto Cellini began to make use of the lost wax method of casting. He learned this process from the writings of the monk Theophilus Presbyter (circa 1100) whose Schedula Diversarum Artium is the earliest known foundry text. In Cellini's autobiography, considered to be one of the classics of literature, he describes in great detail the casting of his famous Perseus and the Head of Medusa. This three and a half ton statue was completed in 1554 and was unveiled at the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy, where it stands to this day.
The investment casting process has been used in the arts by many civilizations for countless centuries. Not only was this process in use, but it was developed to a high degree of excellence, as is attested to by many beautiful and finely detailed statues, jewelry and artifacts from antiquity.
This technique was largely ignored by modern industry until the dawn of the twentieth century, when it was "rediscovered" by the dental profession for producing crowns and inlays. The first authenticated record of the use of investment castings in dentistry appears in a paper written by Dr. D. Philbrook of Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1897. However, the true significance of this process was not realized until the research of Dr. William H. Taggart of Chicago was published in 1907. Dr. Taggart not only developed and described a technique, he formulated a wax pattern compound of excellent properties, developed an investment material and even invented an air pressure casting machine.
During World War II, with urgent military demands overtaxing the machine tool industry, the art of investment casting provided a shortcut for producing near net shape precision parts and allowed the use of specialized alloys which could not be readily shaped by alternative methods. The investment casting process was found practical for many wartime needs--and during the postwar period it expanded into many commercial and industrial applications where complex metal parts were needed. It was in this period that the Hitchiner® Manufacturing Company was founded at the Amoskeag Millyards of Manchester, NH.
The solid mold technique was first utilized because a technology to successfully remove the wax patterns from a shell without causing it to collapse, crack or burst had not yet been devised. In the solid mold technique, a wax sprue was placed in a steel casing and surrounded by a setting slurry. The drawbacks of the solid mold technique were extremely long pre-heat, size limitations and poor dimensional tolerances.
The first successful shell technology was the Mercast Process, which used solidified mercury as a pattern material. Mercury patterns were very heavy but extremely accurate. This was a very difficult process as all pattern production and shell building had to be done at temperatures below minus 39 degrees Celsius--the melting temperature of mercury! This process is no longer used due to high costs and the health hazards involved in handling this toxic element.
The first shell process utilizing wax patterns was developed in England and was known as the Investment X Process. This method resolved the problem of wax removal by enveloping a completed and dried shell in a vapor degreaser. The vapor permeated the shell to dissolve and melt the wax. Some measure of success was also found using flash firing methods. Hitchiner® developed a wax elimination tank containing hot liquefied reclaimed wax into which a shell would slowly lowered. The wax would melt out due to the transfer of heat to the solidified pattern material. The advent of the steam autoclave for dewaxing shells made these earlier techniques obsolete. In the autoclave, highly pressurized steam rapidly melts the surface of the wax patterns before the bulk of the wax is heated and can expand.
One of the recent major advances in casting technology occurred at Hitchiner Manufacturing Co. Inc., when, in the early seventies, the first of its exclusive countergravity casting processes was patented.
Over 4,000 years ago, between the Tigrus and Euphrates Rivers in a land known as Mesopotamia, ancient artisans produced idols and ornaments using natural beeswax for patterns, clay for molds and manually operated bellows for stoking furnaces. Today, precision components for spacecraft and jet engines are investment cast using the latest advances in computer technology, robotics and countergravity casting techniques. The future of the investment casting process is very bright, in part due to the research and development commitment of Hitchiner Manufacturing Co., Inc. and Metal Casting Technology, Inc., a wholly owned R&D facility of Hitchiner Manufacturing Co., Inc.
