text: Okay, so I used to work for this site SteamedTurtle.com, where I wrote reviews and articles based on computers and other technology related stuff. The site is down now and this was the most popular article we had there, and a lot of people found it helpful even with other laptop related problems/questions. So I figured you guys could appreciate the article instead of it just sitting on my hard drive. I changed the format a bit, making all the thumbnail pictures simply links to save bandwidth and some other minor things. I really wanted to rewrite the whole thing because my writing style has changed dramatically since. WHATEVER enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article Date: November 11, 2004 Author: viro Editor: Steamed Turtle laptop_lg.jpg Introduction For years computer gurus everywhere have had the pleasure of building their own custom desktop computers by hand. It's rather simple; you find the parts you want, buy them, and put it all together, and the process has only gotten easier. This is all thanks to a set of standards that all modern computers use (ex: PCI, AGP, IDE, SATA, DDR, and ATX, along with a collection of many processor standards exist today). Laptops have been around for a while, so we wonder: why can't we build laptops? Well, due to the compact size required for a fully-functional portable computer, it is very difficult to set standards that everyone can use. However, companies such as Asus, MSI, and Super Talent are taking advantage of the current standards that do exist on laptops today. This means that you could purchase a laptop, from one of the companies mentioned above, that do not include the processor, memory, wi-fi card, hard drive (and of course OS), optical disc drive, and floppy drive, and purchase all of those components on your own. You get the pleasure of choosing your own parts and knowing exactly what is in your machine, and save a few bucks while you're at it. Let me tell you this, if you can build your own desktop, then there should be nothing you don't know about building your own laptop. What I present to you today is an article that shows you just how easy it is to build one on your own. If you have all the parts ready, you can really put the whole thing together within 30 minutes! What do I need? Before we talk about physical parts, first you have to decide what you're going to use the notebook for. The laptop chassis include a lot of parts, you can't customize, so you have to find the best one to suit your needs. I figured I would be using mine for word processing, DVD's, music, videos, art, gaming, and some other stuff that I don't think I'm allowed to say for legal reasons. I also knew that I wanted long battery life. With all of that on my mind, I needed a pretty versatile processor. Also if I was to play any of the modern games, I would need a chassis with a pretty kick-ass video card, since that is not one of the components I can simply change. I also needed a more-than-decent amount of RAM, and a decent amount of hard disk space. I also needed wireless capabilities since I did not want to plug in an ethernet cable every time I wanted to go online in my house. Chassis: The chassis is probably what you should think about the most because, it is essentially what you're using. All the other parts are going inside the chassis. Look at the chassis as if you were buying a complete laptop. Do you need something light to carry around and have fun? Do you need a high performance portable gaming rig? Or perhaps your main concern is a power point presentation? Whatever it may be, a lot of it resides on what chassis you choose. You're also going to want to buy it from a very respectable company with great service (the reason why I went with Asus). The chassis I chose was an Asus M6Ne. It is for a Pentium M processor, has wireless capabilities, a built-in card reader, and even an infrared port. But that's not all. The main reason I went with this particular chassis is because of its video card. The Asus M6Ne houses a 64mb ATi Radeon Mobility 9700 video card! Unfortunately, this also jacked up the price of the chassis. Another great thing about this chassis, is that you can change the processor speed, screen brightness, and power saving modes, all with the touch of a button depending on what you're using the laptop for that moment! You can get more info about this chassis, and more, from the Asus website. I purchased my chassis from a great place called Gentech Computers. I looked around, and found the cheapest prices for laptop chassis there. They also provide great service; when I ordered my chassis, they were concerned why I hadn't ordered an optical drive, so they e-mailed me, informing me that everyone who purchased a chassis without an optical drive came back to them, requesting one. I told them that I had already ordered one from their site. But the problem with that is, there is only one compatible optical drive (even with my 5 months worth of research, I did not know that). So I shipped back the drive I originally got, and told them to throw in the extra $100 USD for the compatible optical drive. Have you ever had a company do that for you? How about some pictures of this beautiful chassis, huh?! 08_lg.JPG Front 09_lg.JPG Back 10_lg.JPG Left: The left side is the home for the built-in card reader, infrared port, PCMCIA slot, and audio jacks and controls. 11_lg.JPG Right 12_lg.JPG Top 13_lg.JPG Open 06_lg.JPG Free Carrying Case! Featuring my brother Emil (Emil not included) 07_lg.JPG Software, manuals, ac adapter, battery, and a spacer (used if you don't include an optical drive) Processor: The processor is a very important part in a laptop. You definitely can't use a Celeron in a gaming laptop, and you probably shouldn't use an AMD 64-bit if you're just going to use the laptop for word processing. My laptop will be used for a lot of things, and will be on the go a lot, so I need a powerful processor that will not drain the battery life down to 40 minutes. I needed a Pentium M. Before you go crazy trying to figure out when this processor came out, and why nobody informed you about it, let me tell you that it is the same processor that is used in Intel Centrino branded Notebooks. The Intel Pentium M processor (the "M" is for Mobile), is a very powerful mobile processor, packed with features. When you look at these processors, don't let the clock frequency fool you, they are very fast. Clock frequency has some relation to speed, but there is so much more you have to base it on now. I decided to go with the Intel® Pentium® M 735. With a clock frequency at 1.70GHz, 2MB of L2 Cache, 400MHz front-side bus, and SpeedStep® Technology, this was the perfect processor for the job. For more information about Pentium M Processors, check out the Intel website. 01_lg.JPG Processor with retail box RAM: I always say to get as much RAM as possible when dealing with laptops, so I originally wanted to get 1GB, but my budget could only afford 512MB. Another thing with laptops; the amount of slots the chassis can have is very limited (the Asus M6Ne came with 2 slots, which I think is pretty standard for laptops now), so you're going to want to get as little sticks of RAM as possible. For example: if you wanted 512MB of RAM, don't get 2 sticks of 256MB, instead get a single stick of 512MB, so that you can upgrade later. Just make sure you chassis can support that. I purchased a stick of Corsair ValueSelect 512MB PC2700 memory. 02_lg.JPG Corsair ValueSelect 512MB PC2700 Wireless Card: Who buys a laptop and then wants to be bound down by a cable? Actually my dad does that, but aside from him, who wouldn't enjoy being able to access internet anywhere you park yourself in your home? Yep, that's why I wanted a wireless card, for that sole purpose, no war-driving here. Anyway, let's take a look at the one I got. I purchased an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 B+G. I like it because I can use it on virtually any wireless network, and the range on these cards is great, because the antenna is built into the laptop already! With the addition of this wireless card, I have everything in my computer that is required to be called a Centrino laptop. I have the Intel Pentium M processor, the Intel 855 chipset, and an Intel wireless card. However, I think there is paperwork involved if I wanted to use the name on my laptop. I hear that some wireless cards not made by Intel are better than Intel cards, but without an Intel card, laptop companies wouldn't be able to use the name Centrino. Now that's a business! 03_lg.JPG Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 B+G Hard Disk Drive: The biggest hard drive the Asus M6Ne chassis can take is 80GB, which I feel is probably enough for a laptop. I went with a Hitachi Travelstar 5400RPM 60GB 2.5" Hard Drive. You probably wouldn't want to go any further than 5400RPM if you want to have good battery life. Some gamers or 3D artists would probably prefer the 7200RPM hard drive though. 04_lg.JPG Hitachi Travelstar 5400RPM 60GB 2.5" Hard Drive Optical Drive: Some people may not need one (which is why the chassis comes with a spacer), but I feel it is essential to any PC. I recommend getting a DVD drive, so that your laptop doubles as a portable DVD player. There is a little problem with the Asus M6Ne chassis. The only compatible optical drives are the ones that Asus sells with the laptop as an option. So if you have a slim optical drive waiting to be built into your M6Ne, sorry buddy, you have to shell out the extra $100 USD. The optical drive I purchased was a CD-RW/DVD drive. Although I wouldn't use it to burn discs, you never know when that could come in handy. 05_lg.JPG BEHOLD! The only optical drive compatible with the Asus M6Ne Installation Installation is very straightforward, however I will try not to leave out any details that would be required in building this notebook. This does not apply to all laptop chassis; this is a guide based on my experience with building my laptop. Other laptop chassis may have a different design, and thus a different installation method. Contact your chassis manufacturer for more detailed information. Before we get close to the silicon, let me take this time to tell you that laptops are very susceptible to static electric shock. Any time you handle an electronic component, you should ground yourself. You can't see it in my pictures, but every time I am handling anything that can be damaged by electricity, I am grounded. Alright, Let's get started here! There are 3 components we have to install on the inside of the laptop. In order to get to the inside, we have to take the keyboard off. First step to taking the keyboard off is unscrewing it. There are 2 screws on the bottom of the laptop that need to be removed. 14_lg.JPG Locating the 2 screws required to removal of the keyboard Store the screws in a safe place, and flip the laptop back. Open it up, so you can take the keyboard off. But first, there are 3 little clips located at the top of the keyboard, which you must push back before pulling the keyboard off. 15_lg.JPG See the little clip above the "F1" key, keeping the keyboard down? There are 2 more clips; 1 above the "F8" key, and the other above the "Ins" key -15_lg.JPG After having a hell of a time with those clips, the keyboard should easily come out. You can just flip the keyboard over, so you don't have to disconnect it. I disconnected it for the sake of this article. Next, you're going to want to take off the black bar that has the power button and all those other buttons on it. This can get really annoying. Once again, there are screws on this too, take those off, and then you have to flex the plastic to pop it off, leaving me very scared of snapping it in half. Another thing you have to be careful of is the silicon under the buttons to the right of the power button. So keep the flexing to the left of the power button. After you spend enough time with that, remove the metal plate above the CPU socket, by sliding it to the left, and pulling it off. 16_lg.JPG I took off the plate prior to this picture, but you can see it next to my left hand Phew! Glad that's over, does it get any harder than that? No, it is pretty much smooth sailing from here. We want to install the CPU next. Unscrew the heat-pipe, and remove it to expose the CPU socket. Next, you have to make sure that the socket is unlocked, to allow entry of the pins from the CPU. Insert CPU, and lock the socket. Put the heat-pipe back in its place (after removing the sticker that is protecting the thermal pad, of course), and screw in according to the numbers next to the screw-holes. This is pretty much a standard CPU installation. 17_lg.JPG Installed CPU Now that the CPU is done with, we can move on to the memory. The memory slot is located closer to the center of the laptop. Install the stick of RAM at a 45° angle, then when you know it is all the way in, push it down until it snaps into place. 18_lg.JPG 45° angle 19_lg.JPG Correctly installed RAM Here comes the last component we install under the keyboard. The wireless card is installed in pretty much the same fashion as the memory. Before we can get to the slot though, there is a bracket that has to be removed, much like the one over the CPU. Unscrew the black bracket and push it over to the left and remove. Then install the wireless LAN card, the same way as the memory. Push in at 45°, then push down to snap it into place. Next, you have to hook up the antenna wires, or there will be absolutely no point in even installing the card. The BLACK one goes to MAIN, and the WHITE one goes to AUX. Then put the brackets back on, put the top bar back on, and snap the keyboard back in. Don't forget to put screws back where you got them from. 20_lg.JPG Bracket over mini-PCI slot 21_lg.JPG Exposed mini-PCI slot, and antenna wires 22_lg.JPG Wireless card at 45° angle 23_lg.JPG Properly installed wireless LAN card, with antennas wired up Now that we have that done, we can close the laptop up. Yup, that's everything that goes under the keyboard. So cover everything back up, put the keyboard back in, and close the screen, because now we will work on the bottom of the laptop. First flip it over, and take a look at the second memory slot. The second one is put on the outside, because people usually upgrade later when they feel their laptop getting sluggish. The memory is installed the same way as the primary memory, and the wireless LAN card. 24_lg.JPG The under-side of the laptop 25_lg.JPG Revealed secondary memory slot Let's move on to installation of the 2.5" hard disk drive. There is a bracket that you screw the hard drive into, so that it has some shock protection. First make sure it is set as master. Then, just screw it in, and plop it into the hard drive, and slide it into the pins. The bracket also features a little tag on it, in case you want to upgrade to a bigger hard drive later. When you put the cover back on, you'll notice two long plastic pegs; these are to keep the hard drive from disconnecting while on the move. 26_lg.JPG Hard disk drive area 27_lg.JPG Bracket 28_lg.JPG Hard Disk Drive with bracket 29_lg.JPG "Plopping" the hard drive using the tab on bracket 30_lg.JPG The two long pegs on the cover Okay, ready? The optical drive installation is an installation in its own world. Only the best of the best can comprehend the physical trauma it can cause if you were to even glance at any pictures following this text. 31_lg.JPG 32_lg.JPG Ahhh, lets see that again in super-slow motion: 31_lg.JPG 32_lg.JPG Yes, it is that crazy. Hehehehe so, obviously, it is the easiest thing you will ever install. And uninstallation is just as easy. It is amazing how the next picture came out, because it is exactly the motion I wanted to demonstrate. There are these little clips that the optical drive and battery use, that easily unlocks the device. You can even remove the optical drive while the computer is on, just make sure to remove it through the system tray first. 33_lg.JPG Shift and slide. Performance Now that everything is put together, I can install Microsoft Windows XP Professional, drivers, DirectX, and some benchmarks. 34_lg.JPG I don't want to go into the technicalities of each benchmark, so I provided a link to the best source I could find (usually the official site of the benchmark) for each program used. I did a few benchmarks to measure the capabilities of the laptop's video card, and then some other tests that some may find helpful.

For one, I can't tell you how shocked people are when they ask me what kind of laptop it is, and I respond with "I put it together myself." It's also cheaper! Especially if you go with OEM parts. I did not list the prices because in about a week, everything will change. However, I will tell you that I customized a similar Dell for about $400 USD more than I spent. I like the idea of building my own laptop because it lets me know exactly what's going on inside my computer, much like the way I feel after building my own desktop. My suggestion is, if you are very comfortable building a desktop, and you're in the market for a new laptop, consider putting one together yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- also i later met my claim that you could build it in half an hour. my friend asked me if i could build his next laptop, so he bought all the parts, i came over, we set a clock and i finished just in the nick of time.. 29 minutes and something seconds also i didn't re-read the whole thing, so if you spot anything thats obviously wrong or out of place or whatever, lemme know and i'll edit. ENjoy!

Family: a series of stories in a year of the lives of two teenagers. Thrown together by their parents marriage, at first they were wary, uncertain if they even liked each other. It was the Summer Break when it began; Carl was to go away to university. It was when Emma discovered that she wanted to know Carl a whole lot better. Carl was conflicted; what was he going to do? Emma was family; he was on trust not to take advantage of her, wasn't he? Edgy, taboo explorations of their sensuality continue through the seasons. How will it end?
Emma paused outside the door to Carl's bedroom and listened. She could hear something between a squeak and a rhythmic tapping coming from inside. Curious, she gently pushed at the door with one finger; she told herself if it was locked she would go on her way to the garden. The door swung silently ajar and she could see Carl, reclining on his bed, magazines strewn about the floor. Carl's blue cotton shirt was undone and his tan shorts were pulled down around his thighs. The sound was from the bed moving under him and hitting the wall as he masturbated.
The electric blue bikini was new, a lot less to it than Emma's old costumes. The halter-top just two tiny triangles connected by spaghetti strings tied in a bow between her swelling breasts. Carl didn't recall those smooth globes of flesh being quite so full either, bulging out around the edges of her top, the thin shiny cloth outlining her peaky nipples. There was a cooling breeze as he crossed the lawn and he watched them harden into greater prominence at its caress.
Emma carefully prepared for the weekend. The assistant in the drugstore had given her a very knowing look as she checked out the economy size box of condoms and the giant size bottle of lubricant along with a cool hair scrunchie and some funky new eye shadow. Emma had just smiled sweetly back. The adults were going away, overnighting at mutual close friends to celebrate their housewarming. She and Carl had the house to themselves until late on Sunday.

A Revelation
I would listen many times. Essemoh Teepee has added a unique educational element to this genre by the way he talks and writes.
I particularly enjoyed Carl's conflict with conventionally accepted values. His maturity in appreciating and respecting Emma's needs (and his own) belies the philandering future Emma jokingly refers to.
Open your heart to young love.
Essemoh Teepee particularly challenges my recently acquired openess. The author helps me to honestly accept the nature of our procreation and remove the dysfunctional chains and shackles of superstition and fear.

SECTIONS: Introduction ~ Resources
Children with special needs have such a range of abilities and needs—no one description captures all. Some children's conditions are very severe while most are mild or moderate. Some disabilities or chronic illnesses affect only a few areas, others affect many body systems. For example, a child with a hearing impairment may have few or no other special needs. Or a child may have such significant needs that all health recommendations and care need to be adapted to be effective.
The federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau defines children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) as: "those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally."1
A 2009/2010 national survey indicates that fifteen percent of children—more than 11 million—in the United States between birth and age 17 have a special health care need—one in five households.2
Children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) are addressed throughout Bright Futures. Sometimes this occurs in sections specially focused on special needs and most often in recommendations for all children. Two areas of special note: the importance of screening and early identification of special needs and regular well-child care (such as regular health visits, immunizations) including guidance to families. Bright Futures fully recognizes the importance of partnerships with all families but especially families of CYSHCN. Families of CYSHCN usually take more extensive roles in their children's care and use both regular and specialty care services more frequently.
Now it is recognized that important as specialty care for a child's special needs is, regular well-child care is essential. In addition, of course, CYSHCN may need special therapies, medications, and treatment. However, many of today's challenges affect all children with or without special needs—overweight, lack of physical activity, too much "screen time," and oral disease. While of course some children with special needs will need specialized approaches, most can benefit from the same or similar advice, strategies, and resources.
Today most children with special needs have normal or close to normal life spans. Families expect their children to live lives similar to those of others, with plans for adulthood. Helping children to be as healthy as possible, even with health challenges, will minimize secondary health problems now and in the future.

Councilmember Lisa Griffin (First Alternate)
I am a big fan of the CV Town Council's community work. Whether it is working with community groups to create the CV Dog Park, or working with neighbors to bring the Crescenta Commons to life, I see these projects as great community building. I would like to see more community outreach working with our schools, and programs like Youth Council, and The CV Drug Coalition.
I would like to be part of a Town Council that creates a plan to best serve students, should the La Canada redistricting of the "Sagebrush area" heavily impact Mountain Avenue Elementary. Since we are all stakeholders in the future of students in area schools right now, the Town Council needs to address the needs, concerns, and ideas of local youth.
I would like to contribute to the Council, and community, through working with GUSD on the continued health, safety, and success of the students in our many elementary schools, middle school, and both high schools. One goal would be to increase the social options for students outside of school. The Fire House, Y Dances, and local sports leagues are wonderful, but additional recreational opportunities are needed for older teens. In recent moth's three overdose's nation-‐ wide attributed to the drug known as "Molly" (ecstasy). Continued dialogues and education on the subject (without lecturing) would be an area of focus for me as a member of the CV Town Council.

Dance It! is a week-long annual dance workshop which takes place in Bulgaria during the academic spring break (April 1-7, 2013). It is an international collaboration which targets young dancers from Bulgaria (mainly) and from all over the world.
In the course of the week, young dancers (both professionals and advanced amateurs in training) take classes in five different styles: Classical Ballet (Balanchine style), Modern Dance, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Character Dance. The classes are taught by renowned teachers and choreographers from both continents who bring unique expertise to dancers who do not have the chance to experience it in their routine dance curricula. Each student also participates in a choreography set up during the course of the workshop.
The goal of the project is to give young dancers the opportunity to acquire knowledge of several fundamentally different dance forms and techniques, while also allowing them to take part in the creative process and experience international exchange and intercultural communication.
The spring program closes with a big final show – a combination of the new pieces of the choreographers involving all workshop participants and repertoire shown by specially invited renowned guest dance artists.
In the course of the workshop week, different dance master classes as well as public discussions on relevant topics also enrich the program.
Each year, five or six of the best workshop participants receive scholarships for summer dance intensive programs in renowned U.S. schools and companies.
Since 2008 more than 500 dancers from Bulgaria, Montenegro, Portugal and USA participated in all 6 editions of Dance It! More than 25 young talents received scholarships for schools such as Pacific Northwest Ballet School, School of Ballet Chicago, Debbie Reynolds Dance Studios, Syracuse University, Deeply Rooted Productions etc. Many of our scholarship students currently work in dance companies in Italy, Germany, the U.S. and in Bulgarian state dance institutions as well as private dance formations.
This project is being implemented with financial support from the America for Bulgaria Foundation.
America for Bulgaria Foundation (ABF) is partnering with the Iliev Dance Art Foundation in the Dance It! Project since 2011. Founded in 2008, ABF is the successor of the Bulgarian-American Enterprise Fund (BAEF), an investment fund created by the United States of America, acting through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). One of the goals of the Foundation is to support private-sector art entrepreneurs and organizations. ABF's mission in arts and culture is to promote greater appreciation of and demand for Bulgarian arts and culture in-country and abroad; to nurture Bulgarian creative talents to lead and compete in the global marketplace; and to enhance Bulgaria's international cultural profile. With the Dance It! 2012 Project, America for Bulgaria and the Iliev Dance Art Foundation aim at building another cultural bridge between Bulgaria and the United States, as well as to provide opportunities for Bulgarian students in dance to get a feel for the American way of work and to get to know some of the most prominent choreographers and masters of American ballet.

The King's Speech play to tour UK next year
The stage version of Oscar-winning film The King's Speech is to tour the UK next year from February.
David Seidler originally wrote his story about King George VI for the stage before he developed the film screenplay.
However after the Queen Mother asked him not to pursue the project during her lifetime, he abandoned it in 1982.
Seidler went on to win both the Oscar and Bafta award for best screenplay earlier this year.
The film starred Colin Firth as King George VI, who conquered his debilitating stammer with the help of maverick Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue.
The role saw Firth win numerous awards for his performance including the Academy Award for best actor.
The stage version will star accomplished theatre actor Charles Edwards - who recently appeared at Shakespeare's Globe in Much Ado About Nothing - in the lead role, with Australian-born Jonathan Hyde as Logue.
It will be directed by former RSC artistic director Adrian Noble.
Seidler began researching the monarch in the 1970s and after finding Dr Valentine Logue - the surviving son of Lionel Logue and now a retired brain surgeon, he wrote to him in 1981.
Dr Logue agreed to talk with Seidler on the condition he received "written permission from the Queen Mother" first.
However, he received a reply from her private secretary, asking not to pursue it. After the Queen Mother died in 2002, Seidler returned to the story in 2005.
The play will receive its premiere at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford on 1 February before moving on to tour Nottingham, Bath, Brighton, Richmond and Newcastle.

Fifteen years ago, a petite blonde from LA with an affinity for pink and her chihuahua walked into the halls of Harvard Law for the first time and would change it forever. Elle Woods bent and snapped her way into theaters in 2001's Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon and created a frenzy of blonde hair and pink feather pens around the nation. It showed the world that believing in yourself is the key to success, but a good manicure doesn't hurt.
Legally Blonde was sassy and smart, with Elle Woods winning over audiences around the world with her good girl faith and tight pink skirts. While watching Elle Woods grow up before our eyes on her journey to become a lawyer, there were many lessons to be learned. Legally Blonde was a romantic comedy, but it also shared a fair amount of notes on real-life societal issues — like adulting.
But if you follow the simple principles of the almighty Elle and Bruiser Woods, you just might make it out okay. Here's how Legally Blonde taught us about adult life:
Be Honest About Your Feelings
I wish I would have been this "honest" to my ex:
Expensive Shoes Always Take Priority
"You're going to ruin your shoes..."
*gets in car*
Your Manicurist Is The Only One You Can Trust

Argentine president Mauricio Macri took office promising to lift trade barriers and open the economy. Eleven months into his plan, Macri has realized the task is not that easy. Argentina faces a choice between preserving trade barriers and saving jobs or opening the economy and lowering prices. Thus far, the Argentine economy has lost 118,000 jobs as the country sets aside tariffs and anger has risen in the face of an avalanche of imports.

Pizza Rustica
The only thing that Pizza Rustica has in common with pizza is the name. It's a savory meat and cheese pie baked in a sweet egg pastry, called pasta frolla. The dish's origin is around Naples and it's a traditional Easter dish.
Pasta frolla
- 2 C. flour
- 2 egg yolks
- pinch salt
- 8 T. butter, cut into small pieces
- 3 T. ice water
- 2 T. sugar
Mix all ingredients; knead briefly, preferably on a cold surface. Shape into a ball, wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 lb. ricotta (1 1/4 C)
- 1/4 lb. prosciutto (cured or cooked), or salami, chopped coarsely
- 1/4 lb. mortadella, chopped
- 1/4 lb mozzarella, cut up in small pieces
- 2 T. grated Parmigiano
Beat egg yolks in a bowl; add the ricotta, beat until creamy. Add the meats, cheese, S & P. Mix thoroughly.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Thickly butter the inside of a 1 quart soufflé dish or ovenproof ceramic dish.
Cut off 1/3 of the pastry dough and, over wax paper, roll it into a circle large enough to line the bottom of the baking dish and come up a little on the sides. Fit into the dish. Cut off another 1/3 of the dough and roll into rectangular strips as wide as the dish is deep. Line the sides of the dish with these strips, overlapping if necessary. Smooth with your fingers and seal all the seams.
Pour all the filling into the dish. Press lightly to remove air bubbles. Roll out the rest of the dough into a disk large enough to cover the top. Place it over the filling and press the edges tightly against the side lining to form a tight seal. Trim the dough where it comes up higher than 1/2 inch above the top of the pizza; fold the rest of it down. Smooth all rough connections with a moistened finger tip.
Place in the upper level of the oven and bake 45 minutes until the top has turned a golden brown. Do not open the door during this time. If after 45 minutes the crust is not brown enough, turn up the heat to 400°F and bake for another 6-8 minutes.
When cool, serve directly from the baking dish or unmold by inverting onto a plate. Serve warm (not hot) or at room temperature. This also makes for a great picnic dish.

Very simple..
Recompile is to compile something already compiled. For example, you've already compiled the kernel but you forgot to add support for some hardware, you'd have to recompile the kernel.serzsite.com.ar

Bad credit can be the result of life circumstances or illegal activity such as identity theft or unfair debt collection. Unfortunately, if you become saddled with bad credit, it can have devastating consequences on your life.
Our Los Angeles credit reporting attorney, Howard Silver, understands the impact bad credit can have for you and your family, and he can help you with any legal issues associated with your credit report. For help with understanding your credit report and any inaccuracies within it, please contact Mr. Silver today by calling 818-597-2610.

How Common Is Identity Theft?
Identity theft has become one of the most widespread crimes in California as well as the United States, with millions of victims affected every year. According to the California Department of Justice, more than 1.6 million Californians were victimized by identity theft in 2013 alone. Unfortunately, there is a high likelihood that you will become the victim of identity theft at some point in your life. While there are many things a victim can do to end the continuing damage, reversing the effects of I.D. theft is often much more complicated.
Quiz: Is Your Identity Actually Safe?
Why Should I Apply for a Credit Report?
You can receive a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months via each of the three credit reporting companies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). Because of this, you may want to receive one report from a different company every four months. By doing so, you can keep track of your finances and prevent any wrongful damage from continuing for an extended period of time.
Ordering credit reports on a regular basis will also help you discover any instances of identity theft or other wrongful activity being done in your name. If you find a blemish on your credit that should not be there, you may want to receive a report from at least one of the other credit reporting companies to make sure it is not due to a company error.
How Can I Receive Free Credit Reports?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires that Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion provide consumers with a free credit report once every 12 months. The law is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure accuracy and privacy.
In addition, when you are denied credit, you have a right to receive a free copy of the credit report used by the lender that is deciding to deny your credit request. Typically, you can find this information in the letter you receive explaining why you have been denied credit.
Our Los Angeles credit reporting attorney recommends requesting copies of your credit reports by mail so that you have a record of the date you made this request and the date the credit bureau responded. You can also request your free credit reports online by clicking the links below.
Here is the information for each of the credit reporting companies:
Equifax Information Services LLC
P.O. Box 740256
Atlanta, GA 30374
P.O. Box 4500
Allen, TX 75013
Annual Credit Report Request Service
P.O. Box 105281
Atlanta, GA 30348
What Is Included in a Credit Report?
A credit report contains important information about your credit history, including your:
- Place of residence
- Bill payment history
- Lawsuits
- Bankruptcy claims
What Is a Credit Report Used For?
This information is used by creditors, insurers, and employers in making decisions about your credit worthiness, employment, and other issues.
How to Check Your Credit Report for Inaccuracies
Once you receive a copy of your credit report, review it carefully to see if there are any inaccuracies. Since each credit bureau has a different report for you, you'll need to review each one.
Ask the following questions when reviewing these credit reports:
- Are there any accounts that were discharged more than 7 years ago?
- Are there any accounts that aren't mine?
- Are there any bankruptcy filings that aren't mine?
- Are they showing a correct bankruptcy filing that is more than 10 years old?
What if You Find Mistakes on Your Credit Report?
When you receive a copy of your credit report, you can better understand the impact of your financial decisions and find out if your payment history or debts have been reported inaccurately. After finding mistakes on your credit report, you may be overwhelmed, stressed, and unsure of what to do next.
To protect yourself, you will need assistance from skilled Los Angeles credit reporting attorney Howard Silver. He can help you dispute fraudulent changes on your credit report and rectify the problem.
What Is the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Act?
Debt collectors must abide by guidelines set forth in the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Act, found in the California Civil Code. Under Civil Code Section 1788.18, if a debtor submits proof to a collector that he or she is a victim of identity theft and that the debt in question was caused by such illegal activities, the collector is required by law to cease all collection efforts while investigating the matter. If it is proven that the debt was caused by identity theft, all collection efforts must stop permanently.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) exists to protect consumers from credit inaccuracies on behalf of credit bureaus, lenders and banks that can have unjustly adverse effects on credit reports. When the aforementioned institutions do not meet the legal FCRA requirements, you have a right to hold them accountable.
Creditor Harassment Tactics & the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
Loans are something most people will have to deal with at some point during their life; unfortunately, creditor harassment is becoming almost as common in California and throughout the United States. Even though both California and federal law make many tactics used by debt collectors illegal, unlawful activity still takes place.
Among the practices made illegal by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt collectors cannot do any of the following:
- Call a creditor before 8:00 am or after 9:00 pm
- Misrepresent the debt
- Seek an unjustified amount
- Contact a third party about the debt
Additionally, collectors must cease contact when requested to do so by the creditor and can never act abusively during collection attempts otherwise they may be guilty of unfair debt collection tactics. Despite these safeguards however, with advancements in technology and a tenacious focus on collecting debts, collectors are finding new ways to circumvent these laws including the following:
- False identification – collectors may identify themselves as someone else to gain access to valuable information and contact the creditor
- Threats of legal actions – to scare consumers into paying, collectors may tell victims they will file criminal charges against them if payment is not made
- Calling your workplace – if an employer does not allow it, collectors cannot contact a subject's place of work. Once informed of this, they are legally required to cease such practices
- Offensive subject matter – recorded incidents have shown that some debt collectors resort to foul language or threats of physical or sexual harm to collect a debt. This form of creditor harassment is meant to bully and intimidate debtors and is strictly illegal
Why Should You File a Credit Reporting Claim?
When you have bad credit, it can have devastating consequences on the way you live your life. What's worse is when that bad credit is not actually a result of your actions, but is due to inaccuracies caused by mistakes and misreporting by the institutions providing and logging your information. Generally when this happens, violations of the FCRA are occurring.
These violations may include:
- Flagrant errors – these occur frequently in credit reports
- False reporting – lenders and creditors who provide negative information for malicious purposes during a dispute despite having come to a resolution
- Privacy violations – when your credit information is unlawfully shared with unauthorized parties
If your credit report is inaccurate and you follow proper dispute procedures but the credit bureaus fail to correct your file, you may have a valid legal claim for reparations including:
- Damages for instances of credit denial
- Damages for being required to pay higher credit card or mortgage interest rates
- Compensation for harassment from bill collectors and the ensuing emotional distress
- Compensation for credit reporting attorney fees if your lawsuit is successful
- Additionally, the credit bureaus should also agree to correct your credit report

Amazon Police at it again…
Just read that Amazon is going after the people who are posting for reviews on Fiverr, I can support that but then what about Amazon deleting reviews?
Amazon is trying to clean the messy waters of book reviews but at the same time it's making waves. Right now, if the Amazon Review Police believe that a book's review is from someone who seems to be "too friendly" with the author, they delete it…well that's not right either.
An author's job, outside of writing and publishing their works, is to attract fans, new and existing. We, at BookRhythm, sell Marketing Events that do this every day for authors. What makes an author an "expert marketeer" is taking those initial connections made during events and cultivates those into personal experiences between them and the fan. Why? Well Maya said it best…
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
So here is the perplexing situation that Amazon finds themselves in, do they continue to monitor the ridiculousness as they have been with reviews that look "too friendly" or do they realize that authors are now also becoming marketing experts and doing exactly what they need to too become bestselling authors? While only going after those who are buying and selling reviews for a false gain, which helps no one. Is that not a better use of their time and department hours?
