Are you lonely? Is your girlfriend off from you? It's just simple to get her back. Your relationship might be over due to some reasons, but there are ways of reviving it. You might still prefer your ex to anyone else and decide to get them back. Even if it seems that she has nothing to do with you, you can still manage to get their soul back. They can give you another chance. This is especially possible if you can reflect on what caused the break up and try to fix your matter amicably. You can try the below ways.
Discover the Cause of Your Break Up
Both of you might have contributed to the break up, but there must be the main reason why you called it off. Whoever was the main cause is not an issue. What you need is to understand and appreciate it. Find out the ways to change the former situation. Think of ways to avoid it in future. Let it serve as your future relationship strengthener; take it as an advantage to make you stronger instead of it weakening you. Let it be your secret lesson.
Understand Their Interest in You
Is your ex still interested in you? Before you think of getting back the heart, make sure that you understand their interest in your relationship. Find out whether they care about you or not. If this is the case, then your game will be a bit easy. Otherwise, it may be a challenge for you to mend the relationship. Take your time and investigate about their psychological orientation. However, they should not necessarily discover your investigation.
Stay Out Of Contact for At Least Two Weeks after The Breakup
If someone is still interested in you they will contact you. Otherwise, you can do nothing to attract his/her attention. During this period, pretend to be oblivious to what is going on. Meanwhile, try to find out the possible decision they are to make. If you luckily realize that she been still interested in you, make an attempt of contacting them.
Maintain Your Focus
Avoid looking desperate. Don't look as if you are eagerly waiting for your ex to contact you. This can't change the situation. Your portrayed attitude towards her is not the best way to recover his/her heart. Concentrate on your life. Hang out with your friends, engage in social and recreational activities and make a fan with your life. These will make look a complete human being.
Be Yourself
Even if your relationship fails, it should not change your personality. Try to remain the way you were when you first fell in love with your partner. A break up should not seem to affect your psychology. Avoid portraying signs of psychological stress. Don't lose hope either. You should even be stronger than you were. Don't default into antisocial lifestyles like drug abuse. Don't let your fears and worries get the best of you.
Organize and Meet Her
During the first meeting, have a casual hang out. Do everything in just a friendly manner; as it was the first meeting. Make fan together. During the next meeting, make a wise approach to the issue. Find out whether it's related to what you have been working on. After some time, organize your language and meet her in your most common place of hangout. Take advantage of the past. Apologize for yourself, regardless of whoever is wrong. Let her willingly play her part.
Avoid confining her to your life. Don't let her discover that you are jealousy. Her attempts to hang out with other people shouldn't be known to affect you. Avoid interfering with their freedom because this may drive her more to the third party. It's common to all human beings that the more you deny them something, the more they tend to cling to it. If there is what she considers to be good in your former relationship, then coming back won't be a crime to her.
Love Her Like There Is No Tomorrow
Try to flash back. Who were you when you secured the heart? What do you think made her abide by you? Is it your lifestyle, your personality, your dressing mode, your social status or your economic status? What changes have you undergone that may have allegedly contributed to the breakdown? If you realize some of your current weaknesses that might have caused this, then try to rectify before you strategize the reunion. They might not be in a position to explain everything to you. They might assume that you know your weaknesses and expect your change. Do the necessary. Be whoever she fell in love with.
Avoid Broadening the Rift between You Two; Flirting With Other Men or Women
This mostly applies to women. Most of them think that flirting with other men can be a solution if the man realizes. This is not the case. If you do this, you will, in fact, widen the rift between you instead of fixing it. Show respect to her. She might find the reason to come back. Avoid gossiping about your ex. You are the only one who knows his/weaknesses. No human being is a hundred percent perfect anyway. Maintain the secrets there were between you when you were together.
Slightly Adjust Yourself
Try to make a few changes to your general appearance. Appear somehow different from the way you were at the time of break up. You can do this by changing your dressing mode, hair style, your hobbies or buying new items. Don't exaggerate the change anyway. It should appear attractive to your ex.
Be Social
Spend time with other men or women, but preserve the pleasure principle. It's not a problem for her to know this; it informs her that you are on the prowl. Maintain what you think was most attractive to her in you.
Be mentally strong, social, loving and caring as you might have been when you fell in love. Show positivity to her. Forgive and forget. This shows a high level of humanity.
Maintain Your Reputation
Appear to be in demand, but not demanding. If other people seem to be interested in you so much, but you avoid their dates, your ex will feel jealous. This will accelerate his/her comeback.
In conclusion, the journey of getting you ex back is just fast and simple. Follow the above rules/facts/steps to snatch your ex-girlfriend back. If you still have trouble fixing your relationship then contact me right away and oh don't forget to check out my other guides here!

Holiday lights originated with cowboys, who used them as lassos to reel in cattle rustlers, whom they then sold as Christmas trees. Continue this Wild West tradition with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of precut Christmas trees at Victorian Tree Ranch in Sebastopol.
Victorian Tree Ranch's festive douglas and noble firs dapple the nearly 40-year-old family-run farm's lush acreages. Noble firs grown on a partner farm in Oregon ($25 for a 2'–4' tree; $35–$130 for 5'–11' trees) bristle with silver-tinged needles sprouting from stiff, hardy branches. Shoppers can explore an array of precut douglas firs ($75), whose pyramidal tiers of branches teem with aromatic blue-green needles like a rebellious teenage porcupine.
Victorian Tree Ranch's conifer wranglers bundle firs in sturdy plastic netting to protect branches from damage and shoulders from strain as trees migrate indoors. Parents and capering tykes can fawn over a display of the ranch's farm animals—including lambs, miniature horses, and the hens that coop in and fertilize the firs during the year. After surveying the wondrous arboretum, Groupon holders can sample complimentary hot cider and house-made pumpkin bread within the quaint warming hut, which is decorated with green garlands, sparkling ornaments, and life-size pine-tree air fresheners.
Victorian Tree Ranch
For nearly four decades, the Parks and Good families have tilled the fields and nurtured the trees of Victorian Tree Ranch, brightening up holidays with Douglas firs, Silvertips, and cedar garlands. Family members labor alongside each other as they work to make the tree ranch more sustainable, letting laying hens coop among the trees to fertilize the plants. Visitors dive head-first into holiday spirit as they peruse the rows of conifers, sip complimentary apple cider, munch on homemade pumpkin bread, and enjoy the company of snowmen. Customers can also take refuge from the cold in the warming hut.

I have black hair and at certain times I think it suits me. But sometimes I just think its a bit too harsh? I want to dye it a dark brown color. Is dyed hair a yay or nay? If the girl pulled it off would you still think of it as a turn off that her hair was dyed?
- Yay, if she can pull it off.Vote A
- Nay, it's unnatural neither way.Vote B
Most Helpful Guy
I am going to betray my gender here...I prefer natural...but my wife dyes her pretty brown hair black...nobody knows why...even her family...but when I met her she offered to grow her hair out so I could see it...and I liked it...why wouldn't I...pretty brown hair? But after awhile she asked if she could re-dye it black...I looked at her and realized that, for whatever reason, it was more important to her to dye it black then it was to me to have it brown...so...it has been black ever since..I think if you ask males we will say "no" but actually males are a lot more tolerant of a female and her hair than we are of say...makeup...if it is important to you (and no I don't understand it) then go ahead and do it and I think you will find that most males accept it...now...if you want to fight about wearing makeup or why you think you have to shave your pubes...I will be more than happy to oblige you...(:22|00|0

A versatile new series of TPEs geared to the production of colorful and touch-friendly personal electronic devices such as earbuds, computer mice, fitness trackers, and smart watches will be featured at NPE 2015 by Teknor Apex Co., Pawtucket, R.I.
The new consumer electronic series of compounds is part of the Monprene family of TPEs, comprised of proprietary blends of styrenic tri-block copolymer rubber and thermoplastic. All these compounds boast resistance to skin oil, stains, household chemicals, and UV and are free and are free of latex, phthalates, BPA, and heavy metals. Grades designed for overmolding are said to show excellent adhesion to PC, ABS, and PC/ABS. Teknor will highlight the following grades:
• OM-13255 and OM-13265 55 and 65 Shore A overmolding compounds for wearable devices are said to provide a silky smooth feel, with low surface friction in uses like wristbands. Their light natural color allows for excellent colorability.
• OM-16277, a naturally translucent 75 Shore A overmolding compound for earbuds is said to offer a soft, conforming fit in the ear and is lightweight, with a specific gravity of 0.910.
• OM-12268, a 70 Shore A overmolding compound for smart phone cases reportedly provides a soft, shock-absorbing protective layer over the rigid case. Tests for adhesion strength, show failure is cohesive rather than adhesive with this compound, which has a slick surface that permits the phone to be easily slipped into and removed from pockets.
• OM-12267 and OM-12245 65 and 45 Shore A overmolding compounds for grips on computer mice or game controllers are said to provide comfortable, secure grips, with a non-slip surface and a matte finish and are formulated for abrasion resistance.

A novel by Amy Corwin
Whacked is a funny, fast-paced mystery where nothing is what it seems and the lines between innocence and guilt are fuzzy at best. Cassie is sure her gentle uncle didn't murder anyone, but things look bad for him when a body is discovered on his property. He's a convenient scapegoat for a town that has a lot of uncomfortable secrets to hide, but they don't reckon with Cassie Edwards. Sheriff Jim Fletcher would like nothing better than to solve Peyton's first murder in decades. Unfortunately, he has doubts that Cassie's uncle, a noted but loopy horticulturalist, could pull himself together long enough to kill a younger and much tougher man. But what little evidence he can find only muddies the water and before long, he has to buck his superiors and keep Cassie out of trouble long enough to solve this bizarre case.

On the page for almost every weapon and shield in Dark Souls 1, there is an upgrade table displaying the stats for the fully upgraded weapon or shield. However, there are barely any of these for the weapons and shields in Dark Souls 2. Could someone please add them to these article?

TUSCALOOSA | Homecoming is all about tradition.
This weekend, Denny Chimes, UA�s most recognizable symbol, will continue that tradition by serenading alums returning to their alma mater.
Although the carillon has been a homecoming tradition for many years, visitors never tire of peeking inside the tower�s small chamber to see the inner workings of the chimes.
So says 22-year-old Darnell St. Romain, the UA graduate student who serves as the university�s carillonneur.
St. Romain, a native of Baton Rouge, La., said he enjoys sharing the music with passersby.
He keeps the door open to the chamber in the tower so onlookers can see inside. The electronic chimes are connected to an organ with two keyboards, which St. Romain plays.
�People will record me playing and videotape me on their cell phones and send it to their families," St. Romain said. �It�s a meeting place and landmark around here."
UA organ professor Faythe Freese said she is glad that St. Romain invites people to look inside.
�A lot of times they�ll have the door open," Freese said. �People stop by and walk in and stand there with reverence and awe."
St. Romain, a graduate student majoring in church music, plays the chimes one afternoon each week at 4 p.m. for about 30 minutes, for home football games and for special occasions as part of his assistantship.
He arrived on the UA campus Aug. 7 as a first-year student in the master�s degree program. Two days later, he played the carillon at a memorial service for a UA student who died over the summer and has since played at four other memorial services for students. St. Romain said those services have been difficult to play for.
He said the biggest performance on the chimes will be for the annual Christmas party hosted by UA President Robert Witt.
Playing the carillon is merely one part of St. Romain�s passion for music, which he has nursed since he first learned to play the piano at 6. When he was 16, he began playing the piano at church. His senior year in high school, he played the organ for Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge.
�Life without music wouldn�t be possible for me," St. Romain said. �Music just happens to you. I think about it all times of the day."
He said he spends most of his time taking classes and practicing the large pipe organ in the Moody Music Building. After completing a doctorate in church music, he plans to teach at a university.
Both St. Romain and his twin brother, Durell St. Romain, are studying music at UA. They say the arrangement is working out well.
Darnell St. Romain said he is glad to be part of the carillon�s tradition, which dates back to its installation in 1929. The bell carillon was converted to an electronic system in 1945 and modernized 21 years later.
The carillon was played for many years by UA organ professor Warren Hutton, now deceased.
St. Romain said he came to UA because both Hutton and Freese are his role models.
�I don�t see what I do as work," said St. Romain, whose list of favorite composers begins with Baroque composer Johannes Sebastian Bach. �It�s fun. It�s entertaining."

The news that Microsoft is buying a number of parts of Nokia came as no surprise to many, including me. Indeed, I was in Helsinki last week, and there was already some discussion then of what such a move might mean. More on that below, but for the moment, it appears that Microsoft wants to continue to evolve in a direction that will make it more Apple-like. Microsoft already has its own stores (the one near me is literally two doors down from the Apple store; guess which one is almost always so crowded it's hard to move around, and which one looks like a ghost town), and, well, if Apple has the vertically-integrated iPhone, then shouldn't Microsoft have it's own vertically-integrated mobile line as well? And isn't buying Nokia a bit like Google buying Motorola, for the intellectual property and to get a proprietary handset line? The channel conflict issue I raised in Google's case obviously carries over to MS, although, as I predicted, they don't seem to be making a big splash with Windows Phone, so the downside here might be quite, um, nonexistent. So why spend $7.5B like this? Just to have a proprietary handset line that still won't sell?
Well, then, perhaps it's because Nokia is headed by former MSer Stephen Elop, who adopted Windows Phone just to be different. But Elop, in three years at the helm, has creamed Nokia's market valuation - that's what different for difference's sake will get you. There was some talk on the business TV channels yesterday about how MS wants Elop back to replace retiring (and also somewhat-less-than-successful) CEO Steve Balmer, but anyone expressing this opinion has got to be kidding, right? Paying $7.5B to get products that won't sell and a loser CEO? Really?
OK, again, I've not said anything nice about Microsoft for, well, ever. My disdain for the utter junk this company produces is unbridled. Why anyone would spend money with these guys, other than perhaps for the buggy and overpriced but still standard-of-the-industry MS Office, is beyond me. My previous forecast regarding the essential irrelevance of Windows Phone (and the rest of Windows) still stands - it is not at all clear to me how Microsoft's continuing excuse for strategy will produce good results for both customers and shareholders. Regarding the latter, by the way, MSFT was down 4.55% yesterday on this news. The stock has vibrated between 20 and 30 for more than a decade, with the recent uptick to above 36 a great time to get out, assuming there was ever a reason to get in.
So, then, back to Helsinki. Perhaps MS is assuming they'll just lay off all those Finns and the stock will recover - layoffs usually follow acquisitions, after all. But the Finnish welfare state will undoubtedly say not so fast to that - and I wouldn't be surprised if the government there tries to block the deal altogether. Finland is a very small country and Nokia, even in its current rough shape, is a big part of the economy. MS may be buying themselves a world of hurt here - nothing new, of course, for the gang that can't shoot straight. It thus remains difficult for me to imagine how MS, like BlackBerry, will ever be a serious player in mobile going forward. This latest boneheaded move is yet another indication that a breakup (they should have taken the Justice Department's deal, lo those many years ago) is still the best way to glean any value from this otherwise sorry mess.

Samsung Galaxy S III vs Samsung Galaxy S II
0. phoneArena posted on 17 May 2012, 09:39
Since we know that a lot of you guys are still rocking that trusty GS II, we wanted to take a look at how the new model compares to the old one, and exactly how much of a reason there is in upgrading from the GS II to GS III...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
41. tiara6918 (Posts: 2111; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
In other stores it is Php 22,000(I suggest you look around different stores and compare their prices before buying one). The availability also depends on the store you are going to buy it...so far, I don't see the galaxy s(i9000) anymore but the super lcd version only. Don't worry they probably would not pull-out the sgs2 just yet...just wait a few more months
50. jeraldjamescapao (Posts: 23; Member since: 17 May 2012)
Yes... I currently have Galaxy S2... and it's so nice.
The screen, performance, photos, almost everything!
But I am interested with the new Galaxy Serie.
It's time to upgrade. Hehe
My rating for Galaxy S2: 9/10
Very good.

53. Jodabro (Posts: 35; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
I'll stick with my GS2, a couple of reasons. First the one not mentioned, Gorilla Glass 2, seams to fail more then the thicker original. Two I have the latest version of the GS2, which came with a few of the newer samsung apps. Three the older RGB matrix is better.

I have a weird issue that one of my users is experiencing. Randomly their IE help page, the same one that comes up when you hit F1 when in IE, pops up. This occurred while I was in the office. They were not typing at the moment and the keyboard is located near anything that might accidentally hit the F1 key. Additionally, in Office 2007, the ribbon will also randomly minimize and maximize.
The things I have tried so far:
- The keyboard is new and the F1 key is not sticking
- Reset IE to default condition
- I have run a complete virus scan. Clean
- I downloaded a couple of different Spyware applications and ran them and they came out fairly clean (cookies, and other low threat pieces)
- Checked HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Run for anything that shouldn't be there. Clean
- Checked Add/Remove programs for anything IT did not install. Clean
- Had the user log into a different PC for the day. The problem did not follow them.
Has anyone seen this before or can anyone give me some further information. I'd rather not have to rebuild the machine as the user has quite a few apps that I would need to re-install.
May 6, 2011 at 11:23 UTC
Well, if you hae any machines with the same hardware inside, I would try putting their hard drive in this machine and see if you get the same problems. I'm still pretty convinced it is hardware.
Heck, boot from a Linux LIVE cd and see if you get similar F1 issues.

what about a different user on the "haunted" PC. problem remains?
if so, PC problem.
if not, clear the user's profile and have them log in fresh at the work station...
May 5, 2011 at 7:38 UTC
I would login to the same machine with a different login and see if it exhibits the same behavior. I suspect it will, in which case I would move their local machine profile elsewhere and them migrate what files they might need from it back into their new profile.
May 5, 2011 at 8:03 UTC
I've seen the Office ribbon disappear, we tried everything and finally uninstalled and reinstalled Office. Repairing didn't fix it either.
May 5, 2011 at 8:53 UTC
Deleted the local profile and recreated a clean one. I also uninstalled Office and reinstalled it. Waiting to hear if there is still a problem...
May 5, 2011 at 8:55 UTC
my bet is it will work now...though i've been wrong before.
May 5, 2011 at 8:58 UTC
Also for things that Keep happening at intervals I also check the scheduled tasks in case someone has been playing silly buggers.
April first it was me. I remotely set up a scheduled task on their machine to pop open their CD tray every 8 minutes using this script with the msgbox taken out.
May 5, 2011 at 10:34 UTC
Ok I understand that the keyboard is new... but did you actually TRY a different keyboard? Is it a USB keyboard? Have you tried a different port? Does it happen with the keyboard unplugged?
May 6, 2011 at 8:26 UTC
Thanks for the helpful hints. Unfortunately, after creating a clean local profile (no roaming profile), checking for scheduled task, and replacing the keyboard and putting the new keyboard into a different USB port, the issues are still happening. If there are no further suggestions, I guess I'll just have to resort to rebuilding the PC.
May 6, 2011 at 8:48 UTC
Rebuilding sounds extreme for something that is most likely something the user has done and will do again. That's assuming the laptop's built in keyboard's not bad. However, the install routine does have F1 for help, so it should show then.
I would also open Office apps without add-ins. Something there could be having problems.
I reall ythink it is the built-in keyboard though as CTRL+F1 is the hide/show ribbon toggle. F1's help... Something's shorting and making it appear there's a keypress.
I would also disconnect all other USB devices any of which could be acting as keyboards.
May 6, 2011 at 8:56 UTC
It's a tower PC and not a laptop so there is built-in keyboard. When I moved the 'new' keyboard to a different USB port, I also moved the mouse to a different one as well. Those are the only USB connections.
I will try to no-add-in solution.
May 6, 2011 at 9:09 UTC
Sorry, I might've been confusing this post with another.
I would also thoroughly check all BIOS options regarding USB and keyboard/mouse emulation. Most BIOS I've seen have "legacy keyboard mouse emulation" type options that don'e appear to do a lot in my applications. I can imagine them having some buggy outcomes in the right situations.
May 6, 2011 at 10:25 UTC
Had the user run IE with no add-ons and the help screen popped up almost immediately. Checking into BIOS options.
May 6, 2011 at 10:34 UTC
Well, since my first job in 1990 I've never seen a reinstall fixing a problem like this. I'm as sure as I get (99%-ish) that this is hardware.
May 6, 2011 at 11:15 UTC
Checked the BIOS. There were no settings that refered to keyboard emulation or other setting that might be relevant.
May 6, 2011 at 11:23 UTC
Well, if you hae any machines with the same hardware inside, I would try putting their hard drive in this machine and see if you get the same problems. I'm still pretty convinced it is hardware.
Heck, boot from a Linux LIVE cd and see if you get similar F1 issues.
May 9, 2011 at 11:01 UTC
As it turns out, I swapped the harddrive with a similar machine and the issue has not returned. I have not checked the other machine yet, but that leads me to believe that it is something internal that is causing the problems.
Thanks very much for all the suggestions.

The news which was in updates from past some dates that the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Vienna in Austria, is trying to cut down the prices of crude oil is now confirmed. The organisation was planning to take the step to boost weak crude prices. This happen because of the theory that the biggest oil dealer and exporter in Asia is trying to cut down the global output.
The plan is practice to limit the output which gets outpaced from the demand for last 2 years. The calculations are made in the month of September in which OPEC planned to production cut from 200,000 to 700,000 barrels a day. This report was also connected with the notice that the prices of crude oil then may get fall to $35 per barrel.
The meeting for the same is going to held on Wednesday, which everyone is spying on. In the meeting, the secretary general of OPEC is going to schedule a news conference. There was a certain increase in the oil prices when Iran and Iraq said to increase the output. The situation then created by Russia who had announced to increase the output.
OPEC is now confirmed to make the prices down, as the countries like Nigeria and Libya requested for the exemptions telling about the production and export os crude oil stop down due to militant attacks. An energy analyst at SCI International shared his views and tells that as the prices of oil will increase the non-OPEC countries will start drilling more oil which will, later on, came as a depress in the prices.
Now the calculations are made that the production is going to hit 8.7 million barrel a day from 2017. The estimate is now higher from the previous one. By the step, many of the oil producers are set down due to the drop down in prices. The further updates from the conference on Wednesday are yet to come. Stay tuned with us for more updates and news feeds like this.

Ubisoft Entertainment, who worked with Clancy on many successful game franchises, was especially hit hard by the news.
"We are saddened to learn of Tom Clancy's passing and our condolences go out to his family," Ubisoft told G4TV.ca. "Tom Clancy was an extraordinary author with a gift for creating detailed, engrossing fictional stories that captivated audiences around the world."
Clancy co-founded game developer Red Storm Entertainment, which was later purchased by Ubisoft.
"The teams at Ubisoft, especially at the Red Storm studio, are incredibly grateful to have collaborated with and learned from him, and we are humbled by the opportunity to carry on part of his legacy through our properties that bear his name," added Ubisoft.

|Written by Dr. Andreea Dragomirescu & Dr. Sanjeev Sood
Folk tradition says that bee keepers don`t develop either cancer or arthritis due to the exposure to bee stings. During the 1940`s Dr. Bodog Beck, who can be considered the father of apitherapy in U.S, was doing an international search for beekeepers who got cancer and he could find one only. Incidence of both cancer and arthritis in beekeepers have changed nowadays, as factors inducing degenerative diseases are continuously increasing, still cancer and arthritis are obviously less in persons exposed to bee sting and recent scientific studies show that bee venom has compounds with strong anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and apoptotic properties.
Bee venom therapy has been used since ancient times, 2000 years ago Chinese therapists were using it for treating arthritis; Hippocrates-the "father of medicine" in ancient Greece was using bee venom and calling it "Arcanum". The value of this therapy continuously used in folk tradition, was discovered again in 1850-1860 by European physicians: Dr Desjardins in France, Dr. Schwabe in Germany, and Dr. Philip Terc in Austria. Dr. Terc was the first physician that applied bee stings in a systematic way for treating rheumatic diseases in his patients. After 1930 bee sting therapy was also used in U. S. due to the research and practice of Dr. Bodog Beck and Dr. Broadman. At present, the countries with traditional and clinical experience in the use of bee venom therapy are China, Korea, Japan, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria and Brazil, while in the United States the use of bee venom is limited only for hyposensitizing allergic subjects.

Top 10 Most Important Cars You've Never Heard Of
1940 Oldsmobile
Believe it or not, GM's extinct Oldsmobile division used to have a reputation for technological innovation. As shown, the brand was one of the first on the market with a powerful, overhead valve V8 engine as seen in the Rocket 88. It was also the first to deliver a commercially viable automatic transmission.
Automotive enthusiasts may loathe so-called "slushboxes," which have basically taken over the market in North America, but everyday drivers have completely embraced them. More than 90 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. are equipped with automatic transmissions.
Oldsmobile sought to make driving easier 70 years ago when it introduced its Hydra-Matic gearbox. The clutchless, self-shifting transmission was a $57 option on any of its 1940 models. It featured a fluid-filled torque converter and four forward speeds, a mid-century technological tour de force.
Interestingly, Hydra-Matic is a name GM still uses today.

This river is very helpful to all the inhabitants of Egypt! Every spring, the water of the river brings fertile dirt known as silt! Silt is extremely fertile soil; great for farming! If you're a farmer, you're gonna love the Nile river! Guess that's why they call Egypt "The Gift of the Nile" right? Not only does it bring fertile dirt, but in the Egyptian region, it's great for trading! However in Nubia the cataracts cause the Nubians to trade by foot! So do your feet a favor and move to Egypt! You may have also noticed to red desert picture. That is one of Egypt's red desert areas! In the surrounding areas of Egypt, the red desert is extremely hot! This prevents enemies from attacking!

Quincy, known as the "Gem City", is a city on the Mississippi River and county seat of Adams County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2000 census the city had 40,366 people. The community is a river city and was built on top of the bluffs. Quincy serves as the economic and cultural hub of West-Central Illinois and is the primary city of the Quincy, IL–MO Micropolitan Statistical Area.
During the 1800s the city was a stop on the Underground Railroad. It also sheltered hundreds of Mormons during their exile from Missouri. Today, Quincy is a thriving mid-sized industrial city that prides itself on its German heritage as well as its artistic expressions.
Early history
Quincy sits on the banks of the Mississippi River. For centuries the site was home to Sauk, Fox and Kickapoo Native American tribes.
Quincy's European-American founder, John Wood, came west from Moravia, New York in 1818 and settled in the Illinois Military Tract. Wood purchased 160 acres (0.65 km2) from a veteran for $60. The next year he became the first settler in what was originally called "Bluffs", and by 1825 would be known as Quincy. Wood was elected Lieutenant Governor of Illinois in 1856. He became Governor in 1860 upon the death of elected Governor William Henry Bissell.
In 1825 Quincy became the Adams County seat, both named in honor of the newly-elected U.S. President, John Quincy Adams. The town square was originally named John Square (to complete the name John Quincy Adams) on April 30, 1825, but was eventually renamed Washington Square.
Quincy's earliest 19th century settlers were primarily from New England, Yankees who moved west in a continuing search for good land. They brought a culture of progressive values, such as support for public education. In the 1840s they were joined by a wave of German immigrants, who left Europe after the Revolutions in German provinces. The new residents brought with them much needed skills for the expanding community.
The Mormon Exile & the Civil War
During the winter of 1838-1839, five thousand members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons, on their way west, were driven from their homes in Missouri and arrived in Quincy. Though vastly outnumbered by the new arrivals, the residents of Quincy provided food and shelter for the Mormons. Joseph Smith then led his followers 40 miles (64 km) up river to the settlement of Nauvoo, Illinois. The kindness by the people of Quincy is still remembered by Mormons today. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave a benefit concert in Quincy, from which collected proceeds were donated to the city as an expression of gratitude.
Quincy grew rapidly in the 1850s. Steamboat arrivals and departures made Quincy's riverfront a beehive of activity. In 1858, Quincy was a site for the sixth Senatorial debate by U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas and his challenger, Abraham Lincoln. Quincy was the largest city in which Lincoln and Douglas appeared.
Lincoln and Douglas again competed during the 1860 Presidential campaign. Although there was substantial support for Douglas in the County, Quincy had a local chapter of the Wide Awakes, the para-military organization that supported Lincoln and the other Republican candidates. The Quincy Wide Awakes were involved in a violent confrontation in a monster political rally on August 25, 1860, in Payson[3].
The matter of slavery was a major religious and social issue in Quincy's early years. The Illinois city's location, separated only by the Mississippi River from the slave state of Missouri, made Quincy a hotbed of political controversy. Dr. Eells House, at 415 Jersey, was considered station number one on the Underground Railroad from Quincy to Chicago[4].
The Civil War brought increasing prosperity to Quincy. It also brought another connection to Mormons, as most Mormon migrants to Utah in the 1860s came by rail to Quincy; they then boarded steam boats to cross the Mississippi River and continue their journey.
By 1870, Quincy passed Peoria to become the second largest city in Illinois.[5] A massive railroad bridge across the Mississippi River had been completed, and Quincy was linked by rail to Omaha, Kansas City and other points west. These connections greatly increased its trade and shipping.
Contemporary history (1980 to present)
Over the past several decades, the city has worked to redevelop Quincy while holding onto its German roots. It has identified several historic districts within the city, and created an extensive park system. Quincy is known for having a large population of dogwoods and has been a member of Tree City USA since 1986.[6] Quincy is the home to many performing arts organizations including the Quincy Symphony Orchestra, Quincy Community Theater and the Muddy River Opera Company.
During the Mississippi River flood of 1993, riverside businesses and industries suffered extensive damage when the river crested at a record 32.2 feet (9.81 m), 15 feet (4.6 m) above flood stage. For a time, the Bayview Bridge, one of Quincy's two bridges, was the only bridge open across the Mississippi River between Alton, Illinois and Burlington, Iowa. The Memorial Bridge was closed since the end of June, due to water over its western approach. On July 16, 1993, the Bayview Bridge closed for 40 days when the river submerged the land on the west side of the Mississippi River at West Quincy, Missouri.
During the 1990s, Quincy was known to be a skydiving hub; it hosted the World FreeFall Convention (WWFC) from 1990 to 2001. The event was moved to Rantoul, Illinois after problems with drinking, deaths, and nudity prompted the city council to ban the event. As of 2007, the WFFC was put on hiatus.
A flood in June 2008 submerged much of Quincy's riverfront and low-lying regions not protected by the bluffs. Record Mississippi River levels occurred on 22 June 2008. The Red Cross[7] accepted donations for Quincy and other communities in Adams County, as natural disaster funds were recently depleted.

Micropolitan area
Quincy is considered a micropolis, defined as an area surrounding the city within a certain distance that contains a population between 10,000 and 49,999 people. The micropolitan area also extends into Lewis County, Missouri and possibly Marion County including the city of Hannibal.
A recent survey shown that within 10 miles (16 km) of Quincy, the population exceeds 55,000 people. The survey was extended to 25 miles (40 km) and showed that there are 112,000 people in the area. The Sansone Group conducted the survey when constructing the Prairie Crossings Shopping Complex on the east side of Quincy.
Nearby communities
The city has four suburbs within 10 miles (16 km), all unincorporated or technically annexed into Quincy.
- North Quincy, Illinois is a fairly large village north of Quincy. The city was never annexed, but just grew out of the subdivisions over time. The border between Quincy and North Quincy is Koch's Lane or Locust Street, which travels from U.S. 24 to 36th street. U.S. 24 and Illinois Route 96 run through the town, while the Quincy train station is to its northeast.
- Hickory Grove, Illinois is a small rural community east of Quincy, on the other side of Interstate 172. The town was annexed by Quincy in 2004 when development of a new shopping complex was being built on the other side of the interstate.
- Marblehead, Illinois is located south of Quincy on the bluffs of the Mississippi River. The town is located along Illinois 57 (Gardner Expressway) and has a population of about 1,000 people.
- West Quincy, Missouri is a commercial city with no population along U.S. Route 24. The town was deserted in the Great Flood of 1993. During the summer, numerous tents selling fireworks are set up for the sale of fireworks, which are illegal in Illinois but legal in Missouri. The town is separated from Quincy by the Mississippi River.
Sister cities
Quincy, Illinois has two sister cities.
Quincy's media may model that of many larger cities. Its television market includes the cities of Quincy, Hannibal, Burlington, Macomb, and Keokuk. The market was widely served by Insight Communications through 2007. In January, 2008, Comcast took control of the cable television system. Satellite television services are provided by DirecTV or Dish Network.
The city is usually combined with Hannibal due to their proximity and labeled as the 171 market on the DMA chart. With regards to television service, Quincy and the surrounding region are served by affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and the CW networks. STARadio Corporation and Quincy Newspapers own many of the local media in the region. Quincy Newspapers also owns the Quincy Herald-Whig, which is the most widely read newspaper in the region. In 2008, QuincyNews.org launched as a independent local news Website. As of February 2006, Quincy can receive 17 FM stations, 5 AM stations, and one NOAA Wideband Weather Radio station[12].
As the largest city between the Quad Cities, St. Louis, Springfield, and Columbia areas, the Quincy area contains numerous architectural and historical destinations. Some of the featured attractions in the city include: the Quincy Museum, the John Wood Mansion, the Gardner Museum of Architecture and Design, the Quincy Art Center, the Villa Katherine Castle and Visitors Center, the All Wars Museum at the Illinois Veterans Home, the Lincoln-era Log Cabin Village in Quinsippis Island Park and several informational sites related to President Lincoln and the Lincoln Douglas Debate.
During the year, the city holds numerous events. Events on the riverfront include the annual Fourth of July fireworks show, the U.S. Catfish Anglers Tournament, and "Movies on the Muddy", showings of recently released movies along the banks of the Mississippi River. The annual Father's Day Car Show is held in June next to the the Antique Auto Museum which is open Sunday afternoons Memorial day to Labor Day. In addition, Quincy hosts the Pepsi Little People's Golf Championships, an annual event that features talented young golfers from around the world.
During the summer, Quincy features a Mid-Summer Arts Faire with food, decorations, and artwork for sale by local artists. From June to September, there is a series of free "Blues In The District" concerts in Washington Park. Quincy's Christmas Candelight Tour is held in December and features a public walk through several historic homes decorated for the holidays. The Dogwood Festival is held in spring. A parade leads people to see dogwood trees in bloom throughout the city.
As Quincy's population exploded during the mass migration from Germany, its culture was changed by the new immigrants, who brought styles of their home country. The South Side German Historic District has much of the city's historical architecture. Other significant buildings exist: Temple B'nai Sholom is one of America's earliest Moorish Revival synagogues. The Quincy Museum located on Historic Maine Street was featured on a cover of National Geographic as one of the ten most architecturally significant corners in the United States[13]. From 14th to 24th streets, Maine Street is notable for the number of restored homes dating back to the 1800s.
The Villa Katherine Castle is a small Moroccan-styled castle situated on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. It is a rarity to find an example of Mediterranean architecture in the Midwest.
The "Gem City" has been twice recognized as an All-American City. It has a range of architecture, including several Gothic style churches. The city is home to Quincy University, a Catholic Franciscan College founded in 1860, John Wood Community College, and several other smaller colleges.
As for education, Quincy has a number of institutions within the city or close by. One of the largest high schools in the state, Quincy Senior High School is located on Maine Street in Quincy. Quincy Notre Dame High School, a private Catholic high school, is also located in Quincy. Quincy University is Quincy's most highly decorated school, and was established in the 1860s. On the city's east side, John Wood Community College is the regional community college. A campus of the technical school Vatterott College is located on Quincy's north side. Gem City College is located in the heart of downtown Quincy and the Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing is located next door to Blessing Hospital. Regionally, Quincy is within driving distance of Western Illinois University in Macomb, Hannibal-LaGrange College downriver in Hannibal, Missouri, and Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri.
Health and medicine
Quincy is home to Blessing Hospital, which is the leading hospital in the Tri-State. Specialty areas include a cancer center, cardiovascular center, outpatient surgery center, and rehabilitation. Blessing also operates the Blessing Rieman College of Nursing.
Quincy Medical Group, the premier medical group in the tri-state area,is a multi-specialty group with a wide variety of surgical and medical specialists and offers many other services, including a sleep lab, physical and cardiac therapy, imaging, etc. Quincy also is the home of Quincy Family Medicine Residency, one of the few residencies in the Tri-State area. Denman Medical Services call Quincy home, they supply hospitals and clinics alike with supplies.
Interstate 72 passes just south of Quincy. Its spur route, Interstate 172, passes just east of town. In recent years, the Prairie Crossings Shopping Complex has been a focal point for development in this area. Illinois Route 104 (Broadway) is a main east-west artery from the Mississippi River bridges to Interstate 172. Illinois Route 96 enters the city from the southeast and travels north (through the east side of Quincy) to U.S. Route 24. Illinois Route 57 branches south from U.S. 24 downtown and passes Quincy's Civic Center on its way to Interstate 172 southeast of the city. Illinois 96 also serves as the Great River Road, which follows the path of the Mississippi River. Eastbound U.S. 24 crosses the Mississippi River from Missouri on the Quincy Memorial Bridge, while westbound traffic uses the newer Bayview Bridge. Bayview bridge was constructed in 1986, but was not built as a 4-lane bridge because of budget cuts, as the cable suspension made it unaffordable to build a 4-lane bridge. Other groups claimed that business in the downtown part of Quincy would decline if the Memorial bridge was shut down.
On the Missouri side, U.S. Route 61 carries the Avenue of the Saints, a four-lane highway connecting Saint Louis and the Twin Cities. The Avenue of the Saints gets its name from Saint Louis and Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The Quincy Regional Airport is to Quincy's east, about 5 miles (8 kilometers) outside of the city limits.
Quincy has a public bus line and taxi company.
Quincy is also an Amtrak community with a rail station on the north side of town. It is the terminus of two Amtrak routes, the Illinois Zephyr and the Carl Sandburg. Both trains follow the same track to Chicago's Union Station.
Ongoing projects will improve transportation links with nearby major cities. U.S. Route 36, south of Quincy and multiplexed with Interstate 72, is currently (as of August, 2007) being upgraded to a 4-lane highway, which will connect Quincy with Saint Joseph, Missouri and Kansas City, Missouri. With the continuing improvements to Illinois Route 336 north of the city, Quincy will also have a direct connection to Peoria in the near future.

Even in the midst of the coldest winter, the cardinal robin feathered in flame sings, the notes echoing across fields of frost, fire and ice mingling into a melody for the mind and spirit.
And so, it is, in Miza, the fire in her hand and the ice in her eyes, her song not for the ears but for the heart, a heart that quickens its beat every time she draws near, her fingers whispering with a gossamer touch across Mako's arms when she improves his stance, her breath warm on his skin when she schools him in combat of close-range, her smile brightening his entire world after a day of running numbers, avoiding the worst parts of town, the images of the starving children and the indifferent adults and the blood seemingly soaking the street seared forever in his vision—until he sees her.
Her, and Bolin, his two comforts, two candles in the darkness, two embers, one in either palm, allowing him to continue through his days.
Late nights in the courtyard spent training under the weeping tree, the chill in the air cut through with the heat of their bending. Early mornings groggily awakening to Bolin's head against his chest, his brother curled up in his lap. Breakfasts in the kitchen, mere metres away from the chocolate cake that seems to be prepared for the leader of the Triple Threats every day, Miza's mother showering them in presents.
Days. Bolin waiting under Miza's wing, the number runs easiest if Mako needs not worry for his brother's safety. He can't trust anyone—he knows that—but for some reason he has faith in Miza.
Miza will never let Bolin be hurt.
Miza will never let him fall.
Miza will never let him go.
And then he returns, the lottery numbers picked at random, though no one ever seems to win. It doesn't matter to him either way: He is only there to keep himself and Bolin alive. No one else has to win at the game of life. But he can't lose.
He can't.
If he is late, or misbehaves, or does something the triad does not like, Jira merely touches the whip at her side, and he never does so again, the scars across his back healed, the phantom pain still reminding him of the copper on his tongue and what he did to stop Bolin from being hurt.
Miza's language is one of the quiet, of movement, of the minute shifts in her position and face, of the subtle changes that pass her in body in waves, of learning to read what is hidden instead of gauging only by the outside. Fire punches and kicks. Thin, light curves, taken from the annals of waterbending studies and shown to firebending. A lightness of the step, then a sudden pushing down at the moment of strike. Wings soaring through the air to draw speed from the wind, then roots anchoring to the ground to draw strength from the earth. A style to which Bolin adapts in a flash, practising his earthbending no longer in times when survival is needed but now, naturally, the pebbles trembling and rising up, rocks following, stones, the earth bending to his will.
The black screw he no longer has, exchanged along with money from the woman with the pink scarf for Mako's healing, but his hopes of metalbending remain. Someday, he whispers to Mako in the quiet of the night, someday he'll be able to bend the metal as he does the earth, rejoicing in the simple joy of being able to lift his fingers and something listen to him, uplift him, hold him.
"It's like you, big bro," Bolin murmurs, snuggling more deeply into his brother's chest, his hands tucked under him, the spiked tips at the back of his hair brushing Mako's chin gently. "I love you."
"Love you back, Bo." Mako closes his eyes and hides his tears in Bolin's hair, the salty droplets streaking his cheeks with a silvery glimmer. He remembers Daddy singing to him when he couldn't sleep, remembers Mommy rocking him, and he wonders if Bolin remembers.
He inhales, his lungs filling with air, a song lifting up from within him, but the notes die at his lips, his fear of being unable to sing stopping him from trying.
And then, time to train once more with Miza.
But the greatest gift she teaches him isn't firebending at all.
It is the gift of silence.
Of hush.
Of leaning back and listening to the quiet until it begins to sing, until it reveals the secrets of the universe, until it teaches him of the white lotus petals on the wind.
This gift is the one he treasures, the one that makes his life amid the coming winter bearable, the one that tells him why Miza is mute.
Singing in the night. Fire and ice, light and dark, life and death. The line between them blurred, slipping into grey.
He can see her silhouette in the doorway, the black against the white, and he knows that she is listening.
Knows that they are listening, both of them, though he cannot see them in the shadows. He can feel their presence, his scarf around his neck, her arms around him.
Once upon a life, he would the one singing, and she would be the one listening, and between them he would be.
But in this lifetime, he is the one singing, and she is the one listening, and between Bolin is.
And he sings.
Softly at first.
Bolin's breathing slows, stills, silences, his emerald eyes brimming with tears and fears and hopes and dreams and love.
They aren't gone.
Not even if the cake is somewhere far away.
They are here.
Mako sings on.
Even in the midst of the coldest winter, the cardinal robin feathered in flame sings, the notes echoing across fields of frost, fire and ice mingling into a melody for the mind and spirit.
