assignor to Societe Anonyrne des Ateliers dAviation Louis Breguet, Paris, France, a company of France Filed July 31, 1963, Ser. No. 298,893 Claims priority, application France, Sept. 25, 1962,
910,372 6 Claims. (Cl. 244-429) It has already been proposed to constitute aircraft fuselages of two superposed lobes having a partially circular configuration, the upper lobe forming the main cabin, which may be pressurised, and the lower lobe forming a huge hold which is available for accommodating military or civil loads.
The object of the present invention is to provide a door which can be used in aircraft whose fuselage has, at least in its lower portion, a substantially circular crosssection and, more particularly, the present invention relates to aircraft of the type specified.
According to the invention, the said door has substantially the same shape as the portion of the fuselage on which it is mounted, and it is arranged to open slidably with a circular movement along the part or parts of the fuselage adjacent the opening which the door is adapted to close.
By means of the invention the hold opening can be completely unmasked on the ground and in flight, which facilitates the loading and unloading of the hold and also the launching of loads contained in the hold when the aircraft is in flight.
The bulk of the fuselage is considerably reduced when the door is opened, which has more particularly the result of reducing aerodynamic drag and the consequences of such drag on the equilibrium of the aircraft when in flight; a further result is the elimination of radar echoes.
Jacks or other transverse mechanisms for opening and closing, which encumber aircraft holds, are also dispensed with.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view from below of part of an aircraft provided with a door having two leaves, according to the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a partial elevational view showing the door open.
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view on IIIIII of FIG URE 2.
FIGURE 4 is a partial plan view, in half-section, showing an open leaf and its guide means.
FIGURES 5 and 6 are sectional views on VV and VIVI of FIGURE 4.
FIGURE 7 is a detail view on a larger scale of a door control mechanism.
FIGURES 8 and 9 are sectional views on VIII-VIIl and IX-IX of FIGURE 7.
FIGURE 10 is an end view of a leaf.
FIGURES 11 and 12 are sectional views on XIXl and XIIXII respectively, of FIGURE 10.
FIGURE 13 is a View on a larger scale of the guide rail of the retractable panel.
FIGURES 14 to 16 are respectively sectional views on XIV-XIV, XVXV and XVI--XVI of FIGURE 13, and
FIGURE 17 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the operation of the panel.
In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, FIG URE 1 shows part of an aircraft 1 whose fuselage 2 comprises a hold 3 of partially circular cross-section. The wings 4 are connected to this portion of the fuselage. The
hold 3 has a lower opening 5 which can be closed by a door having two leaves 6, also of partially circular shape. The door is opened by sliding the leaves along the walls of the hold, as FIGURES 2 and 3 show particularly. A retractable panel 7 is provided in each leaf for permitting the complete opening of the door despite the presence of the wing, unmasking a recess 6a which passes about the root of the wing at the end of travel of the door leaf.
The leaves 6 are curved in the longitudinal sense to permit the retracting of the panel 7 between the door and the fuselage.
As can be seen from FIGURES 4 to 6, the leaves 6 roll by means of sets of wheels 8 provided on their ends on circular rails 9 which are fixed along the front and rear edges of the hold opening whereas the panels 7 each having wheels at their ends which are guided in rails 10 which are carried by the respective door leaves.
The opening and closing of the door are controlled from a central motor 11, for example a hydraulic motor, Whose drive-output toothed wheels 12 are connected by means of chains 13 extending over guiding chain wheels 14 and guide pulleys 14a (FIGURE 6) to toothed wheels 15 which are fixed to the longitudinal shafts 16. The shafts 16 (FIGURE 4) are coupled at their ends to mechanisms 17 (FIGURE 5) which themselves are in engagement with the door leaves 6.
As will be seen more clearly from FIGURES 7 to 9, each of the mechanisms 17 comprises two bearing plates 1% which are connected by tubular struts 19 and are closed off from the interior of the hold by a casing 20.
Arranged between the bearing plates 18 are, on the one hand, a driving toothed wheel 21 whose shaft 22 is coupled to the corresponding shaft 16 (FIGURE 8) and on the other hand (FIGURE 9) guiding toothed wheels 23 over which passes a chain 24 carrying an attachment stud 25 by which it is connected to the corresponding leaf 6. Thus, the door can be closed or opened by operat ing the chain 24 in one or other direction. The leaves 6, one of which is shown in FIGURES 10 to 12, are preferably constructed by means of h0neycornb-structure elements. Each leaf comprises at its ends sets of wheels 26 and 27 (which are indicated generally in FIGURE 4 by the reference numeral 8) rolling in rails 9. The upper set of Wheels 26 is carried by a lever 28 articulated at 29 to a strap 30 fixed to the door leaf (FIGURE 11). The wheels 26 have a spherical rim and they slide in a circular-section upper portion 9a of the rail 9.
The set of lower wheels 27 (FIGURE 12) comprises four wheels arranged in twos and mounted on a pivot 31 which can rotate in a saddle 32 fixed by bolts 33 to anchoring parts 34 provided in the leaf 6. The wheels 27 roll in a rectangular section portion 9b of the rail 9. The pivot 31 carries a sleeve 35 with which the stud 25 of the chain 24 comes into engagement.
The rails 10 for guiding each of the panels 7 are fixed to the door leaf by means of dorsal strips 36 along the lateral edges of the recess 6a, and they are prolonged at 10a along the door leaf 6 below the said recess (FIG- URE 13).
Each rail 10 comprises guide grooves 39 and 42 for the wheels 37 and 38 which are respectively mounted in the upper and lower ends of the panel 7 (FIGURE 17).
The guide groove 39 for the upper wheel 37 is simply, in the sense of its length, in the form of an arc of a circle. It has flanges 40 (FIGURE 16) preventing the wheel from escaping and is widened at 41 at its lower end in order to permit the introduction of the wheel.
When the said wheel 37 has been introduced into the groove 39 a stop 41a is put into position in order to stop the wheel 37 (FIGURES 13 and 14).
The groove 42 intended for the wheel 38 has also C6 flanges 40; it comprises a portion 43 which is oblique towards the exterior and in the upward direction.
When the door is closed (FIGURE 17, on the right) the wheel 37 is situated at the upper end 38a of the groove 39 whereas the wheel 38 is situated in the end 43a of the portion 43.
When the door 6 ascends in the direction of the arrow, the wheel 33 first of all passes over the oblique portion 43, which enables the lower edge 7a of the panel 7 to avoid the corresponding edge of the recess 6a.
The panel 7 is thus retracted within the interior portion of the door 6. Half-way along the travel of the door 6, the stop 41a fixed on the lower end of the groove 39 acts on the wheel 37 and drives the panel 7 to the position of complete opening shown on the left of FIGURE 17.
On closing, the reverse process is carried out. The door leaf 6 begins by entraining in its travel the panel 7 by engagement of the wheel 37 until the said panel, by studs 44- for example, comes to a halt on stops 45 fixed to the edge of the opening of the hold (FIGURE 6). The door leaf 6 then continues its travel until complete closure is obtained (FIGURE 17, right-hand side).

Jim Ford "Harlan County"
In the liner notes to recent cd reissue Sounds of Our Time Nick Lowe describes Jim Ford: "Jim Ford's reputation was not the best. He told a lot of terrible stories and he used to bend the truth a bit. I think deep down he was no rock star, but he noticed people provided him with money when he pretended to be one. Many people who financed his career probably got disappointed when Ford didn't care to live up to their expectations. He took a lot of people for a ride….I'd never seen anyone use cocaine before I met Ford. Wherever he went there were also illegal substances around. Ford was unreliable and from time to time he disappeared. We were surprised to find what kind of people he seemed to know in England. One time when he got back he had stayed with the blonde bombshell Diana Dors and her gangster-type husband Alan Lake!"
Nick also added this, "When Jim walked off the plane he wore a big Stetson, rose-tinted shades and jeans with creases and round-toe cowboy boots. I'd never met anyone like him before. Ford was the real thing, he was other-worldly and very charismatic. He turned up with a $3,000 guitar, an astronomical sum for 1970, but it seemed he could barely play it, and yet it was so mean, the way he hit that thing. He was totally unimpressed by us (Brinsley Schwarz), but he was making the best out of a bad job."
Jim Ford meant a lot of things to a lot of different people. Sly Stone claimed Ford was his best friend, Nick Lowe name checks him as a major inspiration, and British mod band the Koobas recorded an entire album of Harlan County songs (The Koobas even went as far as to change their name to Harlan County). His unique brand of country-rock-soul-funk has proven to be original and very influential.
The Harlan County LP was released by White Whale in 1969 and is evenly divided between covers and Jim Ford originals. Most people single out the title track and "I'm Gonna Make Her Love Me" as highlights, and they are great slices of hard country funk. "Harlan County," the title track, has a nice horn arrangement, crisp, driving acoustic guitars, female backup vocalists and a great beat – it's another lost gem. But for me Ford's fuzz guitar arrangement of "Spoonful" is really stellar and the superb country soul ballads "Changing Colors" and "Love On My Brain" make the album what it is today – a unique record in the country-rock canon. Ford's main strength was his songwriting ability but he's also an underrated vocalist with real southern grit and soul. There is nothing like Harlan County, the LP is mandatory listening for fans of 60s American rock n roll and country-rock.
You wanna hear his music? The best reissue to get a hold of is Sounds of Our Time by Bear Family Records (2007). This disc has the Harlan County LP in its entirety, rare pre-lp singles, and excellent outtakes that are in more of a country-rock vein. For an example of this, check out the slow version of "Big Mouth USA" and the title track. Both tracks are outstanding pieces of Americana that sound very similar to the Band's best songs on Music From Big Pink.

Removed the plate on the back of the refrigerator, removed the bolt holding the water valve in place (didn't know you could cut the water line to get it off), Plugged in the new water valve and water lines, 15 minutes, very easy to do.Removing the ice maker was easy, 2 bolts and a plug. Loosen 2 bolts, lift the ice maker off, unplug it. Put the water chute and ice guard on the new one, put it back on the bolts, spend 1/2 hr getting the plug back in (couldn't see past my own hand), Tighten the bolts and you're done. Really not difficult, except that the plug was angled, and I had to go by feel.

The ice machine auger blade broke a chunk off. I decided to try to replace it myself. I bought the new auger blade and then sat there and stared at it and the ice machine for a few, trying to figure out how to change out the part. Turns out it was a qute lengthy process. The auger is threaded on one end and the ice chopping blades are on it. So I had to take each blade off the old one and put it on the new one. The blades have to be positioned just right on the shaft so it's best to just draw a line down over all the blades so as to put them on the new auger successfully. The problem I had was the end cap that screwed on the end of the shaft. It was the part I ordered here. It is made of plastic with plastic threads and at first I couldn't figure out to get it off. Turns out the threads are opposite normal. By the time I figured that out, I had just about destroyed the cap using pliers to try to unscrew it. There is a washer and half moon clip that fastens on this end nut so if you mess the nut up, chances are you won't be able to get the half moon clip to go back on. I finally did it right and now how the ice maker working right again. A hard part for me was figuring out how to set the spring shaft that works a lever to either give cubed ice or crushed. I had to keep fiddle with it before I finally got that right. At first I was only getting crushed ice even with the cubed setting and then only getting cubed ice with the crushed ice setting. After some fiddling, I got both to work but to this day can't figure out what changes from the crushed setting to the cubed setting.
look very carefully at the picture you provided in the parts fish, removed the ice maker tray and the rest was very easy ,i saved alot of money and time doing it myself.
I watched the "how-to" video on the website and decided that I needed to disassemble the icemaker first (before ordering parts) so that I could make sure I was ordering all the parts necessary for a complete repair. Good thing I did. I didn't notice the cracked cover and chipped nut until I had the icemaker all apart. I then ordered the necessary parts. When they arrived 2 days later, I set up a table near my computer so I could re-assemble the unit as I watched the repair video...pausing the video as necessary. It all went without a hitch and worked perfectly when re-installed in the freezer. **Note: I left the old parts out of the ice bucket while I was waiting for the new ones to arrive...taped up the gaping holes in the ice bucket with blue painter's masking tape and re-installed the bucket in the freezer with the icemaker on...so I could still manually retrieve ice out of the bucket. I left the switch on the front of the freezer door in the "water" position to remind me that I couldn't dispense ice. Water dispensing worked fine. The video is the key. Impossible to make a mistake if you pay attention.
I had earlier replaced a broken auger but a new nut was not supplied with it. Turns out I stripped the nut getting it off. It seems the nut is a LEFT HAND THREAD.I tried to make do with the old one but it did not hold.
After removing three screws on the ice bucket, it basicly came apart by itself. I needed to use pliers to remove the old nut because it had over tightened itself onto the shaft. Be careful here - it is a left hand nut - not a normal right hand nut! Reassembly was a snap putting the parts back together in reverse order. Unit has been working great since the repair.
To take the ice dispenser apart is not difficult. A ring removal tool would have helped to remove the auger. The Auger nut was difficult to remove and I used a visegrip to pull it off. Once the retaining ring was removed the repair was easy.Never did it before but figured it out.
removed the ice, auger, bin assembly and slowly examined it and began disassembly until i found the broken part and then removed them .. i went online and found the parts almost instantly the parts came in 2 days , the repair video,s were most helpful so much so that i decided to replace the ice chute, door solenoid which looked difficult until i watched the repair video and read other peoples feed back well good luck !

Did the job at my desk with your repair video on my PC. Step-by-step, I followed the video, pausing and restarting the video for each "task". Piece of cake. With your videos as back-up, I consider myself now an expert appliance repairman (I'm 86). What makes your videos different is that you show the "put it back together" process in as much detail as the "take it apart" process.
Remove bucket on a work bench remome to bottom screws, one top screw from ice shield. Remove front cover, then lift out part that hold the auger in place.then remove Auger nut JUST REMEMBER THE AUGER NUT IS REVERSE THREADS. replace new auger nut and reverse the above procedure. VERY EASY
For the Main Control board: I took pictures of connectors and matched them to same numbered connectors on the new board, but it's hard to get it wrong, really. Since the old board zapped a hole right through the plastic sheet behind it, I made a new one with the original as a template. For the ice auger, I left the blades on the old, broken one til I was ready to swap them to the new one to keep them in order, and used a new nut though the old one probably would have still worked. The clear crusher cover plate does wiggle on the auger assembly, blades and all. Just be sure to take pictures to remember how it all goes together. The trickiest part is removing the crusher assembly without breaking plastic--only use just enough force to release the claws. You'll have to at least partly take apart the rod pieces underneath. I cleaned everything with warm, dish soap water and some white vinegar mixed in. Some parts I put in the dishwasher. This a good time to clean the entire frig, too. You may want to also have new water line connector hardware on hand, too, just in case it gets damaged/leaks if disconnected and reconnected for servicing. Always unplug the frig first to start. I used a small, indoor/outdoor temperature device to check the freezer and frig temps to check when done to make sure it worked. Finally, it really, really helped having a "loaner" frig during this time!
removed ice bucket from frig. removed screws to dis assemble the box to get to the auger assembly,removed stripped nut replaced reassembled be care not to let the rest of the assembly fall from auger there are a lot of blades and spacers to try to get back to proper position.

Students from Plumpton College braved the chilly weather to spend a day at the Bedelands nature reserve in Burgess Hill.
Directed by their course leader, Abby Lamb, they thinned out the dense tree canopy in a dark part of Long Wood. This will allow more sunlight into the glades and encourage wild flowers, butterflies and birds to proliferate.
Dominic Moore, who chairs the Friends of Burgess Hill Green Circle Network, said: "I really value our good relationship with Plumpton College, which benefits us both."
Volunteers from the network manage Bedelands on behalf of the district council.

I had my hair straightened with the Japanese Hair Straightening system a few weeks ago and I'm still very happy with the results! Normally my hair is really thick and frizzy and it's always a mess. Now it's smooth and shiny and I don't have to worry about the humidity or rain. It saves me lots of time and worry too - I know it's always going to look good!

Women 'obsessed by their bodies'
Women are obsessed by their bodies, and even many of those who are of normal weight wish they could be slimmer, a survey suggests.
The survey of 5,000 women commissioned by Top Sante magazine found that 85% of women in the UK think about their size and shape every day.
Eight of 10 women said that their lives would improve considerably if they were totally happy with their body.
Half of those surveyed classified themselves as overweight. This closely resembles current government statistics which show 53% of British females are now overweight.
An overwhelming 98% of women who are overweight are unhappy with their size and their shape.
And even 78% of women who fall within normal weight limits for their height still wish they were slimmer - by an average of 10lbs.
The survey also found that 73% of women who are underweight are unhappy with their body size and shape.
Only 1% of women are happy with the whole of their body.
Nearly nine out of 10 (86%) women have dieted at some stage and the average woman has tried to diet 32 times. One in 10 women say they diet constantly.
However, only 50% of women say they exercise three times a week.
Plastic surgery
Some 62% of all women say they will 'definitely' (29%) or 'possibly' (33%) have plastic surgery.
More than three-quarters (76%) of women think their sex-life would be better if they were their ideal shape and size.
The survey found that women viewed other females as most critical about their bodies.
Four out of 10 women have suffered from some kind of eating disorder including anorexia (8%), bulimia (10%) and bingeing (25%).
But only 23% of these women have ever sought any medical help.
Top Sante editor Karen Williamson said: "British women have become incredibly critical of their bodies and their obsession with their shape and size is spoiling their lives.
"It's time we did ourselves a favour and let go of the unrealistic 'perfect' body dream and celebrated the female form in all its uniqueness."
Women who took part in the survey were asked who was the most inspirational woman in the world.
They voted supermodel Cindy Crawford into first place followed by Madonna, Julia Roberts and Goldie Hawn.

It was a crappy Tuesday evening last week when my wife and I ventured into the Park Kitchen. After circling the park a couple of times as it was tricky to find, we strolled into a snug, warmly lit space with the bar up front on the right side paired with a few stools. Garage doors remained firmly closed due to the weather but on the inside of said doors there were 2-3 tables that were filled with a few deuces and a small, very hip, family of three. With a little imagination, I could envision warm summer evenings on the other side of those doors overlooking the park.
As we settled into two bar seats (when mini-me-less, we typically like to eat at the bar) we noticed the snug space continued through to an open kitchen and several tables that were about 1/2 full. From what I had read, we should thank Mother Nature as a lengthy wait is common.
The bartender/server quickly introduced himself, distributed small drink and food menu's, and informed us he needed a few minutes to catch up as the creation of libations, which are excellent and varied, was taking a bit of time. After he finished up his to do's we decided on a Pear Brandy Sidecar and a not so ironic, Dark and Stormy (freshly grated ginger, dark rum, soda and a squeeze of citrus) to wet the appetite.
We decided to start with the Beets, persimmon, feta and red lentils and a black eyed pea soup with foie gras. These were paired with a
2001 Idylwood Pinot Noir and 2004 Loimer "Lois" Gruner Veltliner respectively.
The beet salad had excellent depth of fruit, salt and earth and only lacked in texture which was easily overlooked. The black eyed pea soup was nicely prepared in a tomato broth reminicent to minestrone with chunks of other vegetables. I would have preferred to pay more for a larger serving of foie gras as the nutty, creamy texture lent itself well to the acidic base. Overall, a very nice beginning.
We then went with the grilled sweetbreads and a salad of Shaved apples, manchego and radicchio. These were paired with glasses of 2004 Domaine de Baumard "Le Caleche" Anjou Chenin Blanc and 2004 Clos des Vent Corbieres.
The sweetbreads were easily the most luciously sweet, tender lobes I have had a chance to sink my teeth into. They were prepared wonderfully light and allowed to stand on their own with a little caramalization from the searing. The shaved apple salad was a perfect accompaniment and complemented the sweetbreads after every bite.
Overall, a very rewarding experience and I can't wait to get back and try some of the other items. He was offering a terrine of pheasant and pistachio which I couldn't talk my wife into ordering this time...
We are Seattleites that get down to PDX often for business. Any other small plate specialists that Chowhounders come across, please let me know. I can't wait to get to Le Pigeon.

Outside New York's Coliseum last week stood a Redstone rocket, white and spare, and tipped with a Mercury capsule exactly like the one that carried Commander Alan Shepard on his suborbital flight. Inside the building glittered the American Rocket Society's "Space Flight Report to the Nation"an astonishing exhibition of the phony and the competent, the trivial and the magnificent. Some of the objects on exhibit were miracles of deft design and precision workmanship. Others were not working so well. (A computer kept typing petulantly: "I can't see a thing without my glasses.") Still others would probably never work at all. Mused...

Possibly most women ovulate about 7-14 days after the first start of thier period depending on ur cycle so its possible, I know when I ovulate though i. You will feel slight crampy, sometimes my baby machine will hurt when I stand up like a pulling feeling, and be a bit unfresh in the downstairs for the few days I am most fertile.
I'm guessing you ovulated around the 28th, which yes would have been bad since sperm can live a few days under the correct conditions. A test wouldn't show up positive until around the 8th or 9th at the earliest so that test you took on the 3rd would have done you no good. GL
From info I've read before, I think it may be around the mid point of your cycle...about the 16th. day?? Here's a help link:

Once again Caney moved Wednesday services due to White River Youth Camp.
Sunday school opened singing praises to the Lord. Bro. Jack Essary welcomed everyone. Prayer requests and praise reports were taken. Bro. Jeff Shipley led in prayer. Bro. Jack read I Corinthians 12:12-20 for our devotion. It is important to realize we all have a service to God, just like all our body parts are needed, so is each of us in the church.
After a very good Sunday school lesson Happy Birthday was sung to Jeff Shipley. God bless him. Maddie Shipley sang while offering was received.
Praise and Worship began with testimonies from Jeff Shipley, Hi Lambeth, Janice Lafferty, Elsie Combs, Vanessa Mills and Jim Lafferty. We began with congregational singing. Melba Austin sang a special. Pastor Bill Austin spoke Sunday morning. His scripture was Luke 24:1-11. Do we really believe God's word or is it as idle tales? Study God's word for yourself then you'll know for sure what you believe. Follow after God's word and not man's idle tales. Service closed in a circle of prayer for the sick in our church. Praise the Lord He hears when we pray.
Sunday evening service came together with singing. Bro. Jeff Shipley took charge of service by taking prayer requests and praise reports. Sis. Lorrinda Coulter led in prayer. Testimonies were given by Melba Austin, Jack Essary, Janice Lafferty and Lorrinda Coulter.
Pastor Bill Austin brought our evening service. He took his thoughts from I Corinthians 12:12-20, Jeremiah 18 and Romans 9:20-22. Bill spoke on how important each person is to the church and ministry of the Lord. God can make us a vessel that will please Him if we let Him. He is still working on me is what most of us will say. What kind of vessel are you? Are you a useable vessel or one of destruction? Now is the time for you to choose the Lord and let Him do His work in you. God is calling you, answer Him today.
Come worship with us at Caney. You are always welcome.

Third-grade students at Savannah Country Day School are learning about growing, and giving.
Last week, students harvested more than 100 pounds of organic brussels sprouts, swiss chard, carrots, cabbage, collard greens and snow peas from their 2,000 square foot organic garden at the school.
That food was then donated to America's Second Harvest of the Coastal Empire.
"The third graders at Savannah Country Day School have learned so much through their Garden Harvest project," said Karen Franklin, director of development and marketing for Second Harvest. "In addition to learning about the science of the soil and how winter vegetables are grown, they have learned about nature's bounty. They have also learned the joy of sharing their harvest with others.
"Their gift of fresh vegetables to the food bank means that others in our community will have nutritious foods, too. Fresh produce from their garden will be used at Grace's Kitchen in meals prepared by culinary arts students that will be served at Kids Cafes, providing fresh, wholesome food for children in our community with limited access to balanced meals. We are very appreciative of their generosity."

"I pull up, hop out, air out - made it look sexy." - Kendrick Lamar
interesting... tracking now
Definitely tracking; I love the running commentary, very noir, very skilled and well worded to create the character of Manehattan. Well done, sirrah!
Thanks for reading and commenting . If you like Eyes Without a Face be sure to check out my other story Everfree. It's a war drama. Very different style of writing from this story, but I promise its just as well written.
Well, this looks promising. Feels a bit inspired by Frank Millar's writing in a few spots, but it feels closer to Batman: Year One than The Spirit, so that's a good thing. Keep it up.
At first, I was going to say there was too many repetitive lines, but then I realized that 1) this isn't just a first person narrative but also a stream of consciousness as well and 2) our protagonist does have a sucking bullet wound in her lower 'torso' (Is that the proper equine anatomical term?) and had a knife lodged in her back, so it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the pain is effecting her thoughts. Also, the amount of blood she lost... Either way, keep up the good work.
Truth be told chapter two didn't turn out as good as i would've liked, unlike chapter one which I feel came out perfect. I think I might have rushed it a bit. I might rewrite it later.
Thanks for reading, though and thanks for the feedback. I promise to try to perfect my noir style, but I'm new to the genre so please bare with me and I'll do my best to make it worth your while.
Just got done reading the first chapter after you recommended it to me Jub. Sounds almost like Rorschach from Watchmen in the narration. Glad you recommended it to me. Now tracking.
While I do agree with Clu about the repetitiveness, I think it suits the narrator's view that she and Redheart are "broken". Whether that was your intention or not, I do not know. Either way, I enjoyed reading this, and look forward to the next installment.
Huh, I'm not all that much into shipping, but I can't help but feel bad for Redheart since Rose is probably going to break her heart next chapter. I must admit the reveal of our probable main antagonist caught me by surprise, despite the fact most fanwork treat griffins as villains. Perhaps I just don't see Gilda as a charismatic enough individual to rise to the top of a crime syndicate. Either way, keep up the good work.
Really, I'm the only person who'll comment on this fic… Well, I'll be honest and say I didn't expect this to get this… cloppy so soon. I can definitely see the "Sin City" influences, but I think you may have tipped your hand on the identity of "the psycho" by bringing the "cowgirl" into this chapter. Regardless, I found the tone and discription of Redheart's departure and the interrogation in the loo perfect. Keep up the fine work and I await the next chapter.
Was it too heavy handed? Drat, not my intention . Nice to see you caught my little ode to Sin City's Nancy, though. I do like to pay homage to those great authors who came before me whenever the chance presents itself.
I actually tried to keep the "cloppyness" to minimum, as it is only meant to create a contrast between Rose's capacities for love and her capacities for violence. When I first wrote that scene it was much more...detailed, and so I decided to tone it down.
Speaking of tone I'm glad you commented on the tone of Redheart's departure, and I'm trilled that you enjoyed the scene in the restroom. As an author tone and especially description are very important to me (sometimes too important. I tend to get carried away), so to hear you say you enjoyed those two moments, as they were the two central moments of the chapter, is pretty awesome.
If you have any other criticisms I would love to hear them. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll stick with this story until the end .
Jesus. How did I not find this before? This is fantastic, so dark and gritty and just...wow. Holy crap.
This is brilliant to say the least. I enjoy your unique style of writing and await on baited breath for more.
Your Fathfull fan,
-Tidaka Tathaos
...Huh, looks like you caught me off-guard. Here I was thinking Scope was going to be more than a catalyst for the main body of the story, perhaps someone who sells Rose out to the psycho, leading into a climatic final confrontation. Speaking of which, I now have some doubts in my choice of their actual identity but it also feels like they are more linked to Daisy and Lily's murder more than before. Also, I'm intrigued as to Rose's strong dislike of unicorns and what its impetus could have been. Keep up the good work and I'll keep reading, slowly but surely.
Eyes without a face; belonging perhaps to some formless animal, or monster, or god.
Nice title drop. Well, this chapter was shorter, but its contents speak volumes. This chapter made me realize just how much of her "humanity" (Perhaps empathy/pathos is a more suitable term) Rose was losing through her actions. To quote Friedrich Nietzsche, "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Luckily for Rose (hmm, is her name just Rose, Roseluck or first name Rose last name Luck; the latter would allow you to make a Lady Luck pun...), looking into the eyes of the officer she was choking snapped her out of this purely ruthless mindset and maybe she'll try to work with more finesse and efficiency with her tactics. Also, I am delightfully surprised as to the symbolism of the elements of the soon to be costume, the purpose of the cape and hat were things I hadn't even pondered. Oh, you've also thrown more doubt on my theory of the "psycho" 's identity with the revelation of the Commissioner, so kudos for that. Once again, I look forward to reading the next installment. Good day.
PS: One thing I must ask, was it Tiger Voice or Scope's new partner that knocked out/framed Rose in chapter 5? I've read it a couple of times already (and maybe the insomnia is just messing me up) but I still can't tell.
"PS: One thing I must ask, was it Tiger Voice or Scope's new partner that knocked out/framed Rose in chapter 5? I've read it a couple of times already (and maybe the insomnia is just messing me up) but I still can't tell." To answer that question, you're not supposed too know for sure. I left it ambiguous on purpose. (don't worry it will make perfect sense by the end .)
" Also, I am delightfully surprised as to the symbolism of the elements of the soon to be costume, the purpose of the cape and hat were things I hadn't even pondered." You should know that this comment of yours has made my entire day, and possibly my entire career as a fan-fiction writer. I wasn't sure how that would go over and i'm glad you liked it.
as always thanks for reading.
I enjoyed the symbolism as well, though I'd already thought of the fact that the costume was designed for those things during the episode.
I'm still loving every word of this story, and pimping it out to everypony I can get to read it. Looking forward to the next chapter, and both shocked and fascinated by what you've done with Twi! I wonder... was that our Psycho? Or is our Psycho another of the Mane 6 whose element has gone a little... off?
*hits the last scene*
Oh... my.....
I love this story still, don't think otherwise for a second. You make even this, what I'm hoping is Rose's darkest moments, heartwrenchingly beautiful. But *damn* I was not expecting it to go there.
And, like Rose herself, this story finds its way back to the world of the living triumphantly!
Made my day to see the update notification for this one, and I read it as fast as I could. Beautiful as always, and I think I'm actually glad to see what's happening to Rose here, as twisted as that might sound. She's learning the flipside of the darkness she's embraced, and hopefully it'll save her from taking it in too deeply.
That said, I would like to defend her, morally, for the issue with the Diamond Dog. Unlike Daisy and Lily, the Dogs were being *paid* to be bodyguards, and kind of trying to kill her. There's a world of difference between protecting yourself and murdering somepony in their own home who hasn't done anything to warrant it, and didn't know they were in danger. Even if she'd killed Filthy, he willingly stepped into what he knew was a dangerous world.
An excellent observation Shrinky, but unfortunately (and as you've probably noticed by now) Rose doesn't, or rather it would seem, is incapable of interacting with her world in such a practical, logical, and objective fashion. Rose feels things too strongly and is unable to differentiate herself from the people she encounters. Yes you're correct in saying that Rose was attacked and thus obligated to defend herself, but that isn't the point. The point is she did to another soul what was done to her, what effectively ruined her life, and because of that she see's herself as being the same as Manehattan and her criminals. That and the fact that she enjoyed doing it breaks her heart, because in the act of taking pleasure in another's pain, she embodies everything she hates and fights against.
Thanks as always for reading Shrinky, and sorry about the wait. This chapter took me forever to nail down, and I still don't like the way it came out . Might go back and tweak some things later. For now i'm glad you're enjoying my work, and I wish I had more readers like you...Hell, I wish I had more readers. My poor baby doesn't get many hits on this site. (Sshhh, don't tell Rose. It might upset her that no one is all that interested in her harrowing life journey You know how touchy she can be.)
Hey, it happens, and I do my best when I can to boost that hit level. :) For example, I plan to use it as an example in a panel of mine that I plan to hold at Midwestria this September!
And, of course, you also know about my other plan. I'm just poking around to see if I can drum up any other VA's who are willing to help me out by taking on some of the dialogue. Speaking of which, if anypony reading this would like to volunteer to help with reading some dialogue into a mic, drop me a line. Please? <- Sad Pinkie demands it!
(Is *she* the 'psycho' referenced in here? *ponders*)
Did you pull the chapters down for editing or something? I got an update notice, but all I can see is Noose Without a Hangmare now!
I read the story as it was the day before you took it down for editing, and I just want to say that it's one of the best things I've ever read. I've written Mare-Do-Well, as Pinkie Pie trained to use her Pinkie Sense and odd gadgets, and I'm slightly sad to say that your Mare-Do-Well absolutely shits all over mine. You make me feel the way Trent Reznor felt after Johnny Cash covered 'Hurt', or the way anyone who had written The Punisher felt after Garth Ennis started writing him. Please send me a PM or something as soon as the story is back up, I'd like to send some greatly deserved page views your way.
Short and bittersweet - though I wonder, did Nightmare Moon actually show up? Or was that Rose being a little ?
I've written some Mare-Do-Well too, and this is heads over mine. (Of course, mine is blatantly an expy of Rorschache.)
That actually sounds awesome! My Mare-Do-Well certainly takes a few cues from Allen Moore's character Rorschach, but it's more inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City, and a few of Grant Morison's takes on Batman. I feel I have the character's voice down, and my narration is solid (if not a bit overdone) its just my actually storytelling abilities are not great. If I could get a few pointers on: Pacing, characterization, things like that. I think my scene writing is good in that I'm confident I can paint a pretty picture when something's happening, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to things like exposition.
In short I really could use some help .
I think what you see as weak skills with exposition come off to the reader as highly disciplined first-person writing. The reader is kept tantalized by the sparse hints and details, and that makes every extra little thing we glean from Rose's narration that much sweeter.
Mmmm...hadn't thought of it like that before. Still I don't know...I feel like this story doesn't have enough downtime. Like there's too much happening from chapter to chapter. Does that make sense?
Chapters should be chock-full of elements, but it's true they need their downtime. Let's look at the following model graph, which I call "The Progression Chart."
1 3 /\
/\ 2 /\ / \
/ \ /\/ \/ \
/ \/ \
Basically, this poorly text-drawn graph indicates what a good story needs. The first hump , the Beginning, should go off like a gunshot, really get the reader's attention. The second hump, the Breather, should allow for some exposition and story as opposed to action. This allows the reader to become more comfortable in the world presented by the story. The third hump, the Buildup, is the events of the story that make way for the climax at the end of the story. This includes things like foreshadowing (which should be done in subtle amounts) and character development (which should be more noticeable and dynamic). The fourth hump, the Breakdown, is the final climax of the story. It is here where the heroes and villains finally face each other in a battle of wit, strategy, brute force, or other means.
If your story doesn't fit this model--it doesn't have to, but this being a noir adventure/mystery, it really ought to--then you should try rewriting it so that you know when to throw adventure at your audience, and when to back off.
If you'd like to thank me, you can read some of my fanfiction and give me some feedback, too. It doesn't necessarily have to be advice, but it'd be great if others read my stuff, too.
Damn, this is Sin City with ponies... Well, not quite, but I see the resemblance!
Redirected here from Chuckfinley's "Banishment Decree" he (or she) said it was really good.
This is really dark, but really well done. The repetition is very suitable for someone who is becoming unhinged from reality and spinning in circles. Will definitely continue reading!
Fascinating. The litany of Daisy's strangulation really helps make this. Excellent tone throughout.
I'm going with the first bit of what Shrinky Frod said, I guess I should have seen it coming, but I really didn't expect that.
I've enjoyed this story so far, but this chapter's conclusion is too far off the dark end for me. While your writing style is quite good and the story progression engaging, it's not enough to keep me reading in light of the extremely brutal content. If I might make a suggestion, perhaps you could put a note in the story's description warning of the graphic content?
Well I'm sorry to have lost you as a reader, Luminous. The story is tagged "Dark" for a reason; it's not a nice story and it's full of monsters and lowlifes and unfortunately our protagonist Rose is no exception. If it makes you feel any differently there aren't anymore explicit scenes of sexual violence, though there are several allusions to it and there have been since ch. 4.
If you've been paying attention, you've likely noticed by now that almost every scene of overt violence is followed by or coupled with some act of sex: Fedora/Blondie in ch.4, The Feds/Sparkle in ch. 8; even the death of Tiger Voice is tinged with sexuality. If you recall during his murder Rose describes the scene as Tiger Voice being "pushed into Manehattan's embrace," sharing "Bloody, gritty kisses," and in the end Tiger Voice "Passes out from the strain of their lovemaking. Even Rose's batons that she uses throughout the story can be read as a phallic symbol and a subtle metaphor for rape/sodomy, given that they are long shafts which she uses to hurt ponies.
All of this was done intentionally and the ending of ch.8 was meant to be the height of Rose's sexually depravity. Sure she decided that she didn't want to kill anymore after the confrontation in the interrogation room, but it's not until going too far with Sparkle and facing her true demon does Rose become aware of how far she's fallen.
But the healing begins in Ch.9. I highly recommend you give the next chapter a go before you give up on Rose and her story (and trust me when I say it really is her story. I love Rose because she's the kind of character who just writes herself.). But even if you don't that's cool too. Messed up stuff happens in my stories and I'll be the first to tell you my flare for depravity isn't for everyone.
Well thanks anyway for reading as much as you did.
I'd noticed the sexual allusions early on and while I can't say I felt totally comfortable (nor, I assume, was I meant to) it was at background levels. Then it just kind of ramped up exponentially in 8. It's like watching a horror movie: the monster dodges the camera for the first half of the movie, disturbing the viewers but keeping to the shadows until it's suddenly spotlit in all its horrific glory, shocking the audience. I'd been marathoning since chapter 4 and I think what I needed was a little break to get over the shock of having the monster thrown at me. It was a bit overwhelming (speaks for your writing).
I understand that what was done (the building of the symbolism and imagery) was done for the story (and for the character) and I can respect that. That said I've taken your advice and continued reading (it was worth it, I'm happy to say), for why do we watch heroes fall if not to rise with them as they pick themselves back up?
This story... This story!
This is my new favorite. Like, ever. So brutal, and horrible, and so beautifully captivating. You've got the noir feel down pat, and you write violence that could get kkat wet. Tracked the fuck up and faved and followed, all of that jazz. This deserves a thousand bazillion favorites. All the favorites.
Looking forward to more.
...Rose, I'm finding it hard to root for you. But I'll do it anyways.
Now you know how I feel about THIS STORY!
Speaking of which... Jub, you magnificent bastard, you update it just before I go out of town for a business trip? Even if it is only an overnighter, I'm gonna be hard pressed to focus during tomorrow's training session knowing this is waiting for me!
Unless I read through it before bed... hmm.....
for stove-top interrogation. Painful, brutal, messy. I wonder what happens next.
Dude... Rose is definitely starting to fall. This is what happens when you blink while the abyss is looking back into you, and she's going to have a hard time coming back from it.
Though, to be fair, I don't know that the crash was entirely her fault.
My take awhile for me to get to this, I have five other stories waiting. But I will read it none-the-less, and when I do,I will tell you exactly what I think. If I like it, I'll let you know as well as anything I think you could work on.
681721 Agreed.
Too bad I liked Junebug. Now time to see what Temporal really was doing following Dee. But first I predict at least one beating.
I love this story because of its style it is truly unique
Fucking powerful.
You need way more views.
Holy Horseapples! This story is interesting. I will continue to read this one.
Wait, who killed Daisy and Lily? Was it Rose? And why in the synopsis of the story, it said that Lily, Daisy, and Rose were all dead, but Rose is our main character? Is it explained later? Does Rose eventually die, and someone close to her takes over in her place? I have a feeling that I will need to keep reading to find these answers, and that is just the way I like it. BTW, spoilers will result in banishment to the moon.
well to answer your questions without spoiling anything: yes. I promise the synopsis and everything else will make perfect sense if, and only if, you read the entire story .

Using the talk daemon
Hi there --
I have the talk daemon available on one of our servers, and my intention is to use it to communicate with people who are logged into the machine.
The question I had is the following: As long as I talk to those who are logged into the localhost, there is little or no security vulnerability of which I need to concern myself. Correct?
Assuming that the users have limited permissions, then yes.

She will be part of her C-breeding so her registered name will need to start with a C. Her name will end on on De La forêt De thuringe. So maybe something french? So far we have Corinne or Cora.

(NECN) - In Bristol, Conn., a gas station was robbed at "fork-point."
A crook walked into a "Mobil on the Run" convenience store on Sunday armed with a fork.
He threatened the clerk with the four-pronged utensil. The clerk handed over the cash.
There is no word on how much money the crook made off with.

Sesame Street Spoofs BOARDWALK EMPIRE
It's kind of fun watching Sesame Street spoof some of TV's hardcore TV programs such as True Blood, Law & Order: SVU, Mad Men and Grey's Anatomy. The latest parody is called Birdwalk Empire and it follows two groups of birds led by Nucky Ducky and Clucky Luciano who go beak to beak on the Birdwalk. Then Agent Van Cuckoo flys in to break things up. Enjoy the show! What other TV show parodies would you want to see on Sesame Street? I wonder if they'll ever do one for Dexter.

Thanks to Steve Akin for sending pictures of a project done by Krause Landscape in Amarillo TX, that will be featured in the Anchor Wall 2010 Calendar. The wall is made from our new Diamond Pro™ Stone Cut™ Series, in a new color called Canyon Blend. Below is another Krause project which show the benefits of incorporating segmental products with natural stone. You still get the classy look of the natural stone, and the benefits both in cost and durability of the segmental systems.

Pre-existing Condition Insurance Program extends coverage through March
AHA News
Jan 24, 2014
The federally run Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) will offer the option of two additional months of coverage to current enrollees who have not yet found new health coverage, according to an announcement on the program's website. In December, the program was extended through January.
"This transitional coverage through March 31, 2014, will allow PCIP enrollees more time to review [Health Insurance] Marketplace plan options and enroll in the coverage that best meets their needs before open enrollment closes in March," the new notice states. "They will be notified on www.pciplan.com and by mail of this option to extend their PCIP plan through March, along with details about cost-sharing. Eligible enrollees can purchase PCIP transitional coverage by sending in February and March premium payments; which will be the same monthly rate that they paid for January 2014."

CHULA VISTA -- El Camino High's Nikki Oakland considers Saturday night's game in the Southern California Coaches Classic Shootout a performance that will set the tone for the rest of the season.
Oakland was referring to the Wildcats' 56-48 girls basketball victory over Harbor City Narbonne at Otay Ranch High, which was part of a one-day showcase between San Diego and Los Angeles area teams.
With a win over the No. 8-ranked Division I team in the state, the Wildcats (15-3) are confident heading into the Avocado League season that starts this week.
"After a big win like this, we feel we can beat anyone," Oakland said. "That team is better than most teams we'll play. But we can't think it's going to be easy. We have to come out and play like that every time."
Oakland led the Wildcats with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Megan Johnson scored 13 points and Rekishia Jones added 11.
However, it was how El Camino pulled off the victory that was most impressive. The two-time defending CIF-San Diego Section Division I champion did a little of everything, from executing an offense to running the court and playing tough defense.
Oakland felt the reason for the success against the Gauchos (7-7) was the Wildcats had something to prove.
"There were so many people who were doubting us," Oakland said. "People thought we were going to get blown out. Playing a team like this got us going."
El Camino caught a slight break that Narbonne's top player, Camille LeNoir, sat out due to an injury.
"That was tough, and playing in games like this makes you better," first-year El Camino coach John Farrell said. "We were fortunate that their best player was hurt, but the shots fell our way. We're still learning, and these players have a habit that they don't like to lose."
Torrey Pines 59, Bellflower St. John Bosco 56
The Falcons' boys basketball team won a defensive struggle in overtime. Ben Capon keyed the victory by sinking all six of his points in the extra period for Torrey Pines.
Michael Laughlin scored 27 points and was 13 of 18 from the free-throw line. He kept the Falcons (7-10) in the game during regulation and put the Braves (13-7) in early foul trouble. Torrey Pines hit 29 of 41 free throws.
"It was a good win for us," Torrey Pines coach John Olive said. "We've been up in games against good teams and allowed it to get away. It happened again, but this time we fought for that comeback."
With Palomar League play starting this week, Olive feels his team is ready for the stretch run after this game. The record isn't an accurate account of how the Falcons have played.
"I don't know if anyone played the competition we have, and I've probably overscheduled," Olive said.
"I've pushed the kids too hard, but they are better for it."

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Snape is my favorite Harry Potter character, but I'm pretty sure I would make a terrible Snape. I thought cosplaying a Neville's Boggart version of Snape would be the perfect compromise! I really love the way this costume turned out and I have a lot of fun wearing it. The suit is green crushed velvet. I used a Vogue pattern but I don't remember the number. The skirt came together easily, but I had some trouble getting the lining to cooperate on the top part. I made the purse with some red linen and gold ribbon, and I made the fox stole with a McCalls neck pillow pattern and some fur fabric. The vulture hat was the hardest part. I had never made a hat before and it was a very confusing experience. It ended up a too small and pretty shoddy, but that's all right. The vulture was really hard too...I sculpted styrofoam into the proper shape (adding wings and head on with smaller styrofoam parts) and covered it with feathers. That doesn't sound hard, but it was, lol. The hat is too heavy in general and is hard to keep balanced. The wig was really easy and fun...I just chopped up a shoulder length wig that I had into Snape hair. SNAAAAAAPE

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) projects 1,606,000 students at the bachelor's degree level will graduate as the college Class of 2014. This year many of those students will choose to start their own companies, as entrepreneurship has become a popular career option across the United States. Research from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) found that 13 percent of Americans are involved in early-stage entrepreneurial activity, the highest level since GEM began tracking these statistics in 1999.
While every entrepreneurial situation is different, the failure rate of college startups is significantly high.
Simply put, it's hard to build a successful company from scratch. However, there are ways to increase your chances of success. To all those entrepreneurs who have recently graduated in the class of 2014, here are three keys to help guide you:
Key #1: Gain insight into a real problem.
Successful startups all begin with a real-world problem, one with which the entrepreneur is very familiar. Familiarity empowers the entrepreneur to deeply understand a problem and create a novel and compelling solution to that problem. This is why so many recent grads start consumer-facing businesses; students are early adopters of consumer technologies and are at the cutting edge of what's possible. They recognize the current shortcomings in the market and have insight into the solutions that will work.
But business technology is ripe for disruption too, and there are plenty of lucrative opportunities for smart entrepreneurs in the $4 trillion enterprise IT market. However, solving business problems requires an understanding of how a business operates. To increase your chances of success on the B2B side, go to work for a company for several years after graduation. If you work in a few different roles over the course of four or five years, you'll gain insights into the types of problems that need to be solved. Aim to gain a deeper understanding into the current processes and problems, and you will ultimately discover where you can make a difference.
Key #2: Consider mistakes as valuable learning experiences.
To quote Oscar Wilde, "experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." No matter when you decide to embark on your new venture, you will make mistakes – some large and some small. There are strategies for minimizing your missteps (see my point on advisors below), but you shouldn't fear them. As a young entrepreneur, the learning curve was steep and I made a lot of mistakes. But those experiences taught me a tremendous amount about myself and how to be a leader. I found that those lessons were more valuable to me than those I learned in the classroom when studying for my MBA. There's no substitute for real-world experience. So always remember to be bold and confident; don't live in fear of the mistakes that will certainly befall you. Know that this real-world experience can't be found anywhere else, and that it will play a crucial role in your personal growth.
Key #3: Recruit a strong team of advisors.
When starting a company, everyone knows how important it is to assemble the right team. But what's less obvious is the key role that advisors play in rounding out this team. As a young entrepreneur without much experience and scar tissue (from the mistakes that you will one day make), it's absolutely critical to access the experiences and wisdom of those who have come before you. Fortunately, there is a large community of former entrepreneurs and business leaders out there eager to help the next generation. Find a group of advisors who resonate with you and complement each other and your founding team. Build strong, trusting relationships with them and you will be amazed at what they can offer you. This is a surefire way to accelerate your growth as an entrepreneur.
Success is not a formula; there is no age or background that guarantees or prevents a startup from achieving great things. If you haven't heard it already in your alma mater's commencement speech, the world is ahead of you. Dream big, keep learning, and make the most of it.

Do you mean Dolby Digital? We would love to be involved with a custom Kernel built around the sound deck - do something like Liquid Smooth where the Kernel is built for pure stability and build a suite of options for the pure improvement of sound - this is where we can sing professionally. One of my businesses we develop high end audio - mainly tubed gear that costs over $80,000 for one Mono-Block amplifier - we offer custom made full range Electrostatic Panels that destroys the competition - they cost ~$45,000 a panel, you pick the wood used - we use 100% pure silver Capacitors, Wire and Solder in the panels - they sound sweet. My point? We have CD Players that sound analogue - pure and smooth. We would love to develop a platform for our high end customers, one that would allow them to port their tablet to a high end audio system. Hmmm, we are on top something, a high end tablet....one that eliminates the dirty audio path used in current tablets. There is one problem though, MP3's are limited and are far from high end, so we would need a external device that would allow us to convert the Kindle into a high-end media server by providing a bit-perfect digital audio output to an audio/video system. We would need something that could bypass the player's internal D/A conversion and output stage. I think the only tablet that has these high end features is the iPad and iPod. We know TI is developing a new platform to compete with the iPod but we are not sure that Amazon is going to adopt the platform.
We will discuss this with our developer tomorrow and get back to you with the feasibility of such an adventure. We are open to anything that helps to improve the overall end user experience, so far the options for a high end audio tablet are one, the Apple iPad.

VIDEO: Trailer for Seth MacFarlane's 'Million Ways to Die'
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Universal, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
if you've ever wondered what 1,000 Ways to Die would be like if it were set in a fictional town during the American Old West, Seth MacFarlane has answered your prayers.
In his upcoming A Million Ways to Die in the West, the Family Guy creator - who co-wrote and directed the film - stars as Albert, a nobody-type guy who falls for Charlize Theron's character, who in turn teaches him how to become a good enough gunslinger to rival Liam Neeson's villainous outlaw. The comedy - which, judging from the trailer (seen above), seems to deliver on the gore - also stars Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman, and Neil Patrick Harris and hits theaters on May 30.

Personal Growth Is The Same As Individual Development
Ragnar Horn said that the most critical way to improve your mental outlook and sense of purpose is to believe in something larger than yourself. Search for something (a cause, a purpose, a religion, etc.) that moves you. You must believe in this intrinsic merits of this cause in themselves; if you pursue it simply for your own benefit, you will be disappointed. Find something you believe in and immerse yourself in it.
A great self help tip is to keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings everyday. Keeping a journal like this can be a great way to express yourself. It's not a good idea to hold things inside and keeping a simple journal can be a great outlet said Joey Horn.
A great self help tip is to make sure your diet isn't making you depressed. If your diet consists of a lot of junk food then your mind might pay the price. Try eating healthier foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating healthier will make you feel much better.
Part of any successful personal development program is finding your passion. Ragnar Horn Norway passion was to serve the public and he became successful on it. Your goals in both the short- and long-term should be selected with this in mind. The personal satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from doing work you love should be a goal in and of itself. A goal that calls for work you hate, though, may be too hard to achieve, Joey Horn Norway.
Now that you have taken the time to read through this article and learn some techniques to accomplish some personal development, you have taken the first step to becoming the new you. Make sure to really apply these tips to your life and you will surely be on the road to happiness.

Furious educators are uniting in disgust against the union's sponsorship of the Rev. Al Sharpton's anti-cop rally on Staten Island — including a teacher married to an NYPD sergeant who called it a "slap in the face."
"It sends a really twisted message to kids. We're supporting something where a criminal was resisting arrest," Kristine McCabe, who teaches in Queens, told The Post of Saturday's march.
"You're giving them a mixed signal about crime and authority."
McCabe's anger at the United Federation of Teachers came amid a mounting campaign to force out union boss Michael Mulgrew over his support of the protest.
An online petition calling for his resignation approached 900 signatures on Monday night.
"Mulgrew is dragging me UNWILLINGLY into the current racial and police issues and aligning me with Rev. Sharpton!," petition organizer and Staten Island teaching assistant Diane Morgan-Gattullo wrote.
"I am an educator not an activist and I serve the needs of all students! Shame on you Mulgrew!!!"
Saturday's rally over the chokehold death of Eric Garner during an arrest for selling loose cigarettes is expected to draw up to 15,000 marchers on Staten Island.
As first reported by The Post, the teachers union has sent out an "action alert" promising free buses from Brooklyn to the staging area.
McCabe said that she and her husband, Terence, "are not going to let something like this come between us, but it's a slap in the face from my union."
She said the rally "has nothing to do with education itself. We should stick with our own education issues.
"In September, we're going to be looking at safety officers in our school buildings . . . and have to apologize to them because our union went against them," she said.
McCabe, 32, is among hundreds of teachers who posted messages to the UFT's own Facebook page to rip the union for backing Sharpton's "We Will Not Go Back March."
"The bottom line is this: how dare the UFT align themselves with Al Sharpton," wrote teacher Brenda Christine.
"I don't enjoy finding out about this from the NY Post! I am embarrassed of my membership in the UFT. This march is not about unity. Why doesn't the UFT rally to openly support the PBA? Mulgrew has to go!"
The UFT declined to comment.
Sam Pirozzolo, parent president of the Staten Island Community Education Council, said it was "shocking" that Mulgrew allowed the UFT logo on a flier that directed marchers to meet at the site of Garner's "murder." That word has since been taken out.
The Garner chokehold on July 17 was caught on a cellphone video and has sparked outrage around the city.
His death was ruled a homicide by the city Medical Examiner's Office — and Officer Daniel Pantaleo is on modified duty while the Staten Island DA's Office investigates.

If Mayor Rob Ford had his way, he would probably swap his big black Cadillac Escalade for a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The mayor was admiring the large Phantom Drophead Coupe model that retails for $571,000, at the Toronto Auto Show on Friday.
Even at an auto show, football is never far from the mayor's mind. "I'd like to take that to a tailgate party," said the mayor when a Rolls-Royce rep demonstrated how the rear of the car flips down as a sort of picnic table.
"Can I steal this?" Mr. Ford quipped. "This is beautiful."
He also managed to squeeze himself into a red McLaren sports car being shown by former Canadian ski jumper Horst Bulau of PFAFF Automotive Partners. "[That's] pretty tight," said Mr. Ford. But at $360,00 it might be a little out of the mayor's price range. "I'll have to become a reporter, that's where the money is," he joked. "That's a lot of money."
When queried on electric cars the mayor said they were "expensive."

The bryophyte flora of the centre of Vienna was recorded in 1998. 218 sampling sites were chosen by a stratified random sampling design based on infra-red pictures taken by remote sensing. At each sampling site substrates, species richness as well as population vitality and mode of propagation were investigated. Data were analysed at the local and the district scale. Species richness was correlated with substrate diversity and with the number of habitats and the size of vegetation areas for districts. Based on habitat and climatic changes within the last two hundred years, current observations were compared with historic data. Habitat and substrate diversity were the most influential parameters on species richness and population vitality of bryophytes in Vienna. Environmental pollutants seem to be of minor importance to species richness and distribution of bryophyte populations.

text: Lphansen is an excellent seller. I bought two head pallets and two new head buttcaps from him. He's in Denmark and I'm in the UK but I received the items within 2-3 days. The items were very well packaged and protected for transit. What else can I say - Excellent!
