[[ … One-Shot … ]]
The first time Jeremy ever cut his hand on purpose, he'd realized that something was strange, something was unnatural about it. It hurt like hell- he was bleeding, after all- but Anna's face had been unusually alluring. Her entire demeanor had changed, and as he angled his hand so that she could see it better, so that she could see his blood pooling in his palm, he had felt their relationship shifting from innocent to something else. Something similar to what he had found with Vicki, and yet so much deeper.
The feel of her tongue over his skin, the sharp prick of her teeth and the sheer desperation that clung to her had been intoxicating, and he had drunk of that as deeply as he could even as she lapped the blood from his hand. Then she had been killed, and of all people to come to offer consolations, it had been Damon who apologized for being unable to save her.
The worst part about it was that while it hurt she was gone, Jeremy was kind of relieved in the same breath. He hadn't ... He had loved her, but not like that. It hadn't been the same all-consuming passion that he'd felt with Vicki. He wanted it to go away, the guilt, the pain, everything. Anna's blood was sweeter than he'd expected, coppery and sharp. The pills hadn't been his first choice, but spilling his own blood with no one there to consume it had seemed oddly wasteful. Even worse, why was he concerned about it?
It was just blood.
After all of that, Jeremy was still painfully human, and with the Gilbert ring weighing heavily on his hand, he found himself in the woods again. Back against a tree, the moonlight glinting off of the brittle leaves, he knew that he had to do something. He had to find some way to release the terrible pressure building in his chest.
And he'd found Damon again, sitting on one of the few remains of the old church. The crypt where Anna had planned on feeding Jeremy to her mother.
"What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in bed?" An arched eyebrow and a wry smirk, and then Damon was drinking from the bottle between his fingers.
"Couldn't sleep," Jeremy muttered, ignoring the mocking tone in Damon's voice. "Having someone kill you tends to amp up your adrenaline, you know."
"Don't I know it." Damon laughed, but it was dry, brittle as the leaves crunching under Jeremy's feet as he closed the distance. "Out for revenge, Elena's little brother?"
"Don't." Jeremy leaned against a piece of stone jutting up across from Damon. Wordlessly, Damon offered him the bottle, and even though he knew he shouldn't, he took it. He deserved it, right? He took a long drink, but Damon's laugh made him hesitate. He handed the bottle back, frowning. "What's funny?"
Damon waved a hand and put the bottle down, then he was leaning over Jeremy, hands on either side of him, fingers digging into the stone. Jeremy swallowed, and he knew he looked vulnerable. He had to. He felt vulnerable.
"What are you really doing out here?" Damon's voice was low, just over his ear, and Jeremy glanced around them both guiltily. "No one's coming to rescue you yet, Jeremy. Answer me."
And so help him, Jeremy nodded and whispered, "I had to get out of the house."
"You didn't know I was here?" Another arched eyebrow, and Jeremy wondered if Damon already knew the answer to that. Wondered if it was a test.
Jeremy shook his head, and then Damon licked his earlobe.
"Good boy," he murmured, and Jeremy felt himself going perfectly still. He wasn't entirely certain of what was happening, and he didn't trust himself to say anything. Then Damon took his hand and leaned one hip against the same rock that Jeremy sat on. He turned Jeremy's hand palm up and licked across his wrist, and Jeremy felt his heart skip a beat. "Why didn't you cut? That's normal for teenage boys, isn't it? Would have been a lot more certain than pills." Damon's eyes lifted, and Jeremy wondered what exactly he was thinking.
"I... Maybe. It seemed like a waste," Jeremy answered quietly, unable to stop himself. He wasn't even sure that he wanted to stop himself.
"All that blood? It would have been." A small smile played over the corners of Damon's mouth, and Jeremy nodded his agreement. "So thoughtful. Would you like for me to bite you?" The offer was so low that Jeremy thought he must have misheard him, and then Damon was laughing again. This time, Jeremy was certain that it was because of his own sharp intake of breath, the way his heart skipped a beat. Damon could surely hear that, could sense Jeremy's arousal at the thought of his teeth sinking in.
"Damon..." He said the name like a talisman, as though it might keep him safe from his own desires. It had been one thing to bait Anna, because even knowing what she was, she seemed sweet; innocent. Baiting Damon was an entirely different beast, one that Jeremy didn't know if he could handle playing with.
"You would, wouldn't you?" Damon's teeth grazed over Jeremy's throat, and Jeremy felt his body clenching, felt his pulse racing. He tilted his head to the side just slightly, and he moaned when Damon pulled him close, fitting their bodies against one another.
"A-are you going to?" Jeremy licked his lips, his hands still clinging to the stone he was leaning against. He couldn't let go, not without finding something new to hold, and he wasn't entirely sure about holding onto Damon. Even if Damon's tongue was flicking over his throat, those teeth- fangs- lightly brushing over the artery there. Damon made a low purring noise, and Jeremy's eyes fell closed at the sound of it vibrating over his skin.
"Should I?" Another scrape, this one a little rougher, and Jeremy shivered. He didn't flinch, didn't move.
"I want you to," he whispered, and he shivered when Damon shoved him back.
Those blue eyes flashed over him, locking and holding onto him, not letting him look away. "Why?"
"Because." Jeremy tilted his head back, forcing himself to look up toward the tree branches over head. "Because I like it," he whispered as softly as he could, and he braced himself for the mocking laughter.
But it didn't come.
Instead, Damon reached up and put his hand over the back of Jeremy's neck, pulled him down to really look at him. Jeremy couldn't stop himself from licking his bottom lip again. Damon didn't 'vamp out' at the suggestion the way Anna had, but to be fair, there wasn't blood in the air between them yet.
He did lean forward though, tracing the muscle that connected Jeremy's neck to his shoulder. There was no warning. One moment, Damon was simply nuzzling his neck, and then there was a sharp rush of pain and Jeremy moaned, his eyes closing.
He wished he could see Damon's expression in that moment, see the way his eyes would have darkened. But he could feel Damon's tongue lapping the blood spilling over his neck, he could feel Damon's fingers digging into his shoulders, into the back of his neck, holding him exactly where Damon wanted him. Jeremy couldn't find his voice to tell him that it wasn't necessary. He couldn't have moved for anything at that point.
By the time Damon drew back, Jeremy's head was spinning, and Damon pulled him down a little more, pressing a heated kiss to his lips. Jeremy could taste his own blood, and he moaned into Damon's mouth at the sharp coppery tang of it. Anna had never kissed him like that.
Jeremy melted under Damon, almost incapable of keeping himself standing up straight. Damon's lips were red, and Jeremy was almost certain that he was imagining how bright red they really were. He felt Damon pick him up- like a girl, he realized vaguely, although he didn't have the strength to argue- and then there was a rushing sound that filled his ears.
He woke to the sunlight pouring in through the window, to Damon's muffled voice in the next room.
"Yes, he's here. Your little brother is just fine, Elena." There was a pause, and Elena must have popped something off, because Damon laughed. "Ooh, snippy, aren't we?"
Jeremy didn't get up though. Instead, he simply buried his face in the pillow, breathing in the lingering cologne there. He wondered how loud the smell must be to Damon if Jeremy could smell it so easily. When the door eased open and shut again, he didn't move, even when the bed sank behind him.
"I know you're awake."
Jeremy smiled at the reminder. "My breathing, yeah. You forget, I've dated a vampire." He heard Damon snort, and he rolled over to look up at the Salvatore brother curiously. "I... I remember. Last night."
Damon arched an eyebrow, his usual playboy smile curving his lips. "I would hope so."
"I wasn't wearing Vervain."
"I know that. Naughty boy that you are, you haven't been drinking it either." Damon leaned over Jeremy, pushing him back against the bed. The motion caused his body to lay flush against Jeremy's, and Jeremy made a soft noise at the contact.
"Dated a vampire," he muttered with his best sullen teenager tone. It didn't seem to bother Damon though, because Damon simply leaned down a little more and started licking his way down Jeremy's throat. "Damon..."
"You like this." Damon scraped his teeth over Jeremy's skin, and he grinned when he felt Jeremy's heart jump. "I could hurt you. Seriously hurt you. Anna could have hurt you." As though to punctuate the point, he caught the collar of Jeremy's shirt and ripped, tearing it open straight down the middle.
Jeremy swallowed, and he nodded slightly. He didn't know how to explain it to Damon, but it was the allure that they were so dangerous that had gotten him started on it in the first place. Damon seemed to understand though, because he simply shook his head and bit Jeremy just hard enough to prick the skin.
Blood welled up, but Damon didn't drink it. He dragged his fingertips over it, smearing it down Jeremy's chest. He was drawing or writing something, and Jeremy was mesmerized. Damon's eyes were dark, although he still hadn't changed the way Anna had. Instead, he looked almost peaceful, tracing designs over Jeremy's torso with the blood.
"Will... will you keep doing it?" Jeremy's throat felt dry as he asked the question, and he could hardly meet Damon's eyes. Damon didn't answer for a moment, instead choosing to lean down and lick the blood up. The tip of his tongue followed the same pattern his fingers had, only in reverse, and Jeremy whimpered slightly. "Damon."
"Hush," he murmured, and then he was licking again, tasting the blood still seeping slowly out of the bite.
Jeremy moaned, and then Damon's teeth were tearing the skin again. Jeremy arched under the touch, his head rolling to one side to offer Damon more room to bite. Damon made a low noise against his throat, and he drew back just long enough to press a bloody kiss to Jeremy's lips.
A promise.

TuneUp Media Moves Beyond Music Cleanup Into Sharing and Information Discovery
(Page 3 of 3)
gigs coming up in your area, and lets you buy tickets through Stubhub or Ticketmaster (with TuneUp Media collecting a share of the revenue on every sale).
The big idea is to change TuneUp from a database-cleaning utility into an all-around infotainment experience. Down the road, in fact, the music cleanup utility could eventually become merely the billboard act at TuneUp—a way to get audiences in the door—while the real business happens at the merchandise tables. Cleanup "wasn't a wedge originally—we just wanted to solve a problem," says Adiv. "But we realized it was a bit of a wedge, once we started thinking about it."
And the more people turn to TuneUp for supplementary services around their music, the better the company will be able to weather the coming transition to cloud-based music consumption— when we'll finally stop buying tracks and storing them locally and simply subscribe to services that store our collections online and stream them to any device. Adiv himself questions how quickly this transition will happen. "While I'm a huge fan of Pandora and MOG, I don't believe that the local consumption model is going anywhere," he says. But even in a world where local collections and streaming music coexist, "the key will be for them to play nicely together," and TuneUp could help with that by providing extra context and sharing options for whatever's playing on your device at the moment, he says.
Meanwhile, the company continues to market its core cleanup utility, via a quirky marketing campaign that includes a VW bus painted in TuneUp's signature red-and-white and a series of TV spots featuring hip-hop star Biz Markie. "In our first year, it was all early adopters," says Adiv. "Year Two, it was hard-core music fans. Now in Year Three, with some of the different marketing strategies we're using, we're getting more of the intermediate music fans."
TuneUp also benefits, in an oblique way, from the increased focus in the tech and investing world on other music companies, including Pandora and Skullcandy, which are both in the process of going public, and U.K.-based Spotify, which recently raised $100 million. "It's great for us," says Adiv. "People are going to continue to get their music in many different way—Steve Jobs said it himself, that only 3 percent of the tracks on people's devices come from the iTunes store."
The other 97 percent probably needs to be cleaned up and contextualized. That's why 2011, in Adiv's view, will be "another growth year for us."

Not All Roads Lead to Heaven Simulcast Set featuring Dr. Robert Jeffress. This set includes the book entitled Not All Roads Lead to Heave by Dr. Robert Jeffress, and the Simulcast Audio CD of the in-depth interview with Dr. Jeffress.
Dr. Robert Jeffress is senior pastor of the twelve-thousand-member First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and is a Fox News contributor. His daily radio program, Pathway to Victory, is heard on more than eight hundred stations nationwide, and his weekly television program is seen on thousands of cable systems and stations in the United States and in nearly two hundred countries around the world. Known for his bold, biblical stands on cultural issues, Jeffress has been interviewed on more than two thousand radio and TV programs, includingGood Morning America, CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends, The Kelly File, Real Time with Bill Maher,Hardball with Chris Matthews, and The O'Reilly Factor.
An urgent call to reclaim the message of salvation!"In Not All Roads Lead to Heaven, Dr. Jeffress has given the body of Christ a great tool. The exclusivity of the Christian gospel is not just a theological issue to be debated, it is the heart and soul of the gospel."--Dr. David Jeremiah, senior pastor, Shadow Mountain Community Church; founder and president, Turning Point Ministries"Jesus said He was the exclusive means to come to His Father for salvation and a home in heaven. Either Jesus was right or He wasn't. Robert Jeffress believes He was right. Whether you do or don't, this book deserves a serious read. It asks and answers one of the most critical questions of our time--the one that actually determines a person's eternal destiny."--Dr. Mark L. Bailey, president and senior professor of Bible exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary "Dr. Jeffress masterfully addresses the common arguments against biblical Christianity and equips us to engage with those who disagree with Christ's claims about Himself. Dr. Jeffress aims to help us to more clearly articulate the good news that Jesus came to save sinners because He loves them. Read this book. It's a must-read for the day in which we live."--Susie Larson, talk radio host, national speaker, and author "What a shock it will be someday for many people who will arrive in eternity only to discover all roads don't lead to heaven. This book will provide solid answers as to why this is so. You will learn why Jesus alone has the qualifications to be the Savior."--Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor, the Moody Church, Chicago"Not All Roads Lead to Heaven will help you remember the greatest answers for believing and defending the true gospel story. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all Christians, pastors, and Bible teachers, for it will warm your heart and mind with 'the reasons for the hope that is in us.'"--Dr. Tim LaHaye, pastor, author, and Christian educator

Thoughts on my beloved Fuji S5 Pro Cameras (Part I)
I'd like to talk about my experiences with the S5 Pros and not so much about the specs. You can head over to DPReview.com or KenRockwell.com for that kind of e-literature. I've had much success with the camera and have produced, in my eyes, some pretty decent images. But first, a bit of background on how I gravitated to the S5.
My first digital camera was an old Fuji Finepix 6800 point-n-shoot back in 2001. I picked it up at Ritz for, get this, $900! The selling point? 3MP sensor that interpolates to 6! Whoa, momma! In 2004, I eventually graduated to the highly anticipated Sony Cybershot DSC-F828. Great ergonomics, but terrible in low light. I loved having both CF and MemoryStick slots in one body. After getting serious about photography, I moved up to a Nikon D80. Again, great camera, but terrible in low light–especially at or above ISO 800. I shot a wedding or two with the D80 for Chris, but I wanted more homogeny shot-to-shot. I picked up two Fuji S5 Pros. These too were highly anticipated for their dynamic range and build quality thanks to Nikon a la the D200.
Firmware. Firmware for those that don't know, is core software that drives the functionality and features that exist on the camera. One issue I've had with the S5 is with firmware and how it interfaces with the Nikon products. As I've mentioned, the Fuji borrowed the body from the Nikon D200, an excellent camera body with equally impressive menus, but installed their image sensor and firmware. Back when I first started shooting with the S5, I'd periodically, if not regularly, experience a state in which my camera would shoot, then lock up. The battery indicator on the top LCD would blink with the dead-battery icon; I'd have to turn the camera OFF then ON to fix the problem. I couldn't figure it out. Was it a dirty connectory? Was it the combination of lens and flash? Was it the battery grip? Were my batteries dead? I searched blogs and boards with not definitive solution. Mixed results across the board. Well, long story short: Battery grip and Firmware version before 1.11. I was running 1.06. Even 1.09 didn't work as promised. I don't know how many shots I missed and how many sleepless nights I've had over this. I am glad to say, knock on wood, that I haven't had the problem since the firmware upgrade.
Weather Seals. I can't speak enough about these seals. Again, props to Nikon. This past September, Chris and I shot a pro-bono wedding in St. Lucia for the Biggest Losers contestants, Marty and Amy Wolff. During our coverage, we had the opportunity to accompany the couple in a series of activities like a yacht cruise, archery, helicopter rides, fencing and zip-lining. Well, during the zip-lining the clouds encroached and began dumping what appeared to me torrential rain. I might as well have dunked my camera in the water it was raining so hard. It was insane. Everyone was worried about the camera getting fried. I have to admit, I was worried a bit as well, but knew that the weather seals would do their job. It rained non-stop for 30 minutes, all the while my camera is perfectly exposed. I was NOT thinking about rain so I didn't bring rain gear. I also knew that as long as I didn't open the battery doors, memory card bay, or replace my lens that I'd be fine. Sure enough, the rain stopped and I check the camera. No problems at all. Hey, did I mention that I was firing the flash all the while? Haha… I love it! Yeah, even my SB-800s held up. 'Nough Said.
I'm sure I'll have more to say about this camera. More good than bad, of course. Follow-ups to come…

My husband and I are seriously giving some thought into moving and we thought what better place than Hawaii? I really like Hawaii because it is a great looking place and the weather is fantastic year round. The first things that we need to consider before moving are what jobs are available there, but probably the most important thing would be to find a place to live. Recently, when looking into Hawaii real estate, we were able to come across American Dream Realty which is just amazing. If you want to know more about American Dream Realty then I would advise you folks to click the link above. By the way, what I really like about this website is that you can browse homes by Island, number of bedrooms, regions, neighborhoods and price so you can find out what you can afford. So why not live your dream, why not move to Hawaii and get that wonderful house you have always dreamed of, I know that you will be very pleased with the results.

Oly 14-54mm works with E5 but not with E3 or other models???

Have anyone ever encountered an Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Series I lens that worked perfectly with an E-5 body, but would not focus when mounted on older Olympus cameras?
I had an older 14-54mm zoom lens with focus issues. It would not consistently focus in autofocus nor manual mode. I often had to zoom all the way out, zoom back in, and then try to refocus, to get a lock on a subject. This consistently erratic behavior occurred during tests with 4 camera bodies: E-3, E-1, E-520, and E-500. Because of the focus issue, the spare lens hadn't been used in 2+ years, and I finally sold it last week.
The person that bought the "malfunctioning" lens mounted it on a new E-5 body . . . and reports that it FOCUSES PERFECTLY! At first, she was afraid that I had accidentally given her the wrong lens.
Has anyone experienced this with the 14-54mm Series I lens? Any guesses why it focuses fine on the E-5 body but not on an E-3 or other Oly bodies?? I understand the CDAF vs PDAF issues with micro-4/3 bodies, but what could have occurred here?
That makes no sense whatsoever. I have my 14-54mm Mark I lens mounted on my E-620 and it works perfectly. Never a problem. And it should never be a problem with any of these cameras.
Everyone, I appreciate your quick responses. I have several other Olympus lenses, including 2nd 14-54mm Series 1 lens that works flawlessly on all my bodies. That is why I sold this one as "malfunctioning". . . She is happy, but I confused . . . Of course, the buyer could be making this up, but I cannot fathom why. I wanted to make sure I was not overlooking anything.

Unanswered: Track bound form changes
I have a couple bound forms that I would like to log the changes for. My first thought was to loop through and store control values when the record is loaded and then do the same when the record is unloaded and compare the two. Can Access give me this info (so I don't reinvent the wheel) or is there a better way? I'm running Access 2003 on XP Pro, but the DB is in Access 2000 format, we have one person running Access 2000 on Win 98SE.
I suppose I could do on_change events, but that would be alot of work.
TIA for any comments, suggestions.

Braille is a system by which blind people are able to read. The system is composed of the basic alphabet plus numerous contractions and short cuts.
There are 3 grades of braille. Grade 1 has no contractions. Grade 2 has about 200 contractions. Grade 3 has about 700 contractions. Most people rea grade 2.
A braille cell is composed of 6 dots. Imagine the cell as a verticle rectangle. Dots 1,2,3 are on the left hand side of the cell. Dots 4,5 and 6 are on the right side. The letters of the alphabet are a combination of dots within this cell. For example, the letter A is dot 1. The letter C is dots 1 and 4.
I mentioned contractions before. Contractions are used because they take up less space and allow for faster reading. An example of a contraction is dots 5,6 and the letter N. This combination stands for the letters TION.
For more information contact the National Federation of the Blind and the American Foundation for the Blind.

Download FsPassengers : Official or Crack
FSPassengers adds a lot of realism to the empty, and therefore unchallenging, world of Flight Simulators. Here are just a few of the features of FsPassengers:
- Add passengers to your flights! Finally, you're not alone anymore up in the skies.
- Keep detailed logs and statistics for every flight.
- Includes more than 1200 in-flight sounds to immerse you in the ambiance of flight. Attendants, passengers, special effects; listen to ATC chatter, music, GPWS, and more.
- Passengers react to how you fly your plane. Hear them scream if you make drastic mistakes, and get their opinion of your flight - in real time.
- Provide in-flight passenger services such as movies, music, and drinks.
- Make money for successful flights; be fined if you do something wrong.
- Manage an airline. (make money, manage an aircraft fleet, etc.)
- Maintain your aircraft in good condition, otherwise you may experience unique and surprising failures.
- Create and maintain pilot careers.
- Fly through dangerous parts of the world, and risk the safety of your plane, crew, or passengers!
- Export flights to your Virtual Airline.
Once the FsPassengers flight starts (by menu), every piloting mistake you make will be tracked and stated in a post-flight report: G-force excess, too much bank, rolling outside landing strip, forgetting lights, flaps, seat belts, door opening during flight, excess climb or descent rate as in real life and this will make you a better pilot. If your flying technique is really bad, you can hurt your passengers, and in extreme cases you can even hear them scream from the cabin! Speaking of sounds, there are more than 1200 sounds that you can hear in flight: co-pilot, hostess, GPWS, ATC chatter, music, sound effects, and many more. When the flight ends you will see a very detailed post-flight report that will describe how the flight went. If you run a company you will be rewarded with money based on ticket prices, oil prices, distance flown, number of passengers, cargo weight, airport taxes and other things. If you crash, you will lose money (your insurance will have to pay the damages) and your company's reputation will suffer. FsPassengers also contains a lot of unique features never seen in FSX or Prepar3D. Screenshots:
The FsPassengers flight starts with the loading of your aircraft, which brings you to the first unique feature of FsP: the aircraft payload dialog that allows you to load and set your aircraft.

The dream that was sustaining the first free state-wide e-portfolio initiative, which heralded great promise in Minnesota, has officially died. Users received e-mail in the last week of May announcing that free e-portfolios were being discontinued and that existing users would have to pay an annual subscription fee of $10 to keep their accounts active.

As a parent, I naturally want what's best for my child - including the best education. I believe, the best education option is homeschooling. You are your child's first teacher! No one else can know your child as well as you - and no one else will have the same level of commitment to your child that you do. Even if you're not sure you will homeschool your child throughout their school years, doing 'preschool-at-home' is a great way for you to get your feet wet, and see what this homeschooling thing is all about!

Renault Laguna 2.2 dCi
Renault present the Laguna Dynamique 2.2 dCi 150 Hatchback with 6 Speed - (Man) / 5 Speed - (Auto), Front (FWD) running on Diesel
6 reviews from the community
Review of "Renault Laguna 2.2 dCi"
"Ooooooh sporty"
I'm a girl so clearly I am not going to be able to tell you about a car!!!! Oh except it's blue I can manage that.My dad wanted a new car, he used to have a Toyota he liked that but wanted something he could show off with a bit something a little faster, something slick and well Mum wanted something practical…
Dad and I went around looking at all sorts of cars, BMWs, Volvos, you name it we looked, we looked at the Renault Laguna and I quite liked it but it was nothing special really it was a sensible boring car, quite nice looking and well designed but they are really common about half the staff at my dad's school have them, I thought he should have something a bit different to fit into his nice space right in front of the main entrance…then one day I was at my boyfriends house and my Dad came back and told me he had bought a Laguna I was not a happy bunny…He bought the sporty version, the one with posh hubcaps and a leather steering wheel that isn't even sporty, well it has electric sunroof and windows, and Dad likes it. He takes it everywhere (ha ha) up and down to Durham (we live in Cheshire) and we've been out the country a few times.
I thought it was pretty normal, just a car but apparently I was wrong, every day there were herds of little boys not even old enough to drive lusting over it at the front of the school and people telling me what a nice car my dad has…My boyfriend (at the time) had a Max Power magazine and apparently it is a very safe car, you'd only get your legs crushed if you were in an accident sitting in either front seat or so he informed me anyway…I'm not actually sure if I should be happy about this or not.
Now to be honest I didn't want to talk about the car as much as the manufacturing, as I said it is my dad's car I can drive but I have never driven his (I'm not insured to) that is the fundamental reason that I'm not going to write about driving the car.The car is under 3 years old, and it has never been right, the airbag light has been on constantly he has taken it back at least 5 times then he gave up, so for compensation after my dad made a complaint they had had it for 5 full days on 5 separate occasional and it still wasn't fixed so they said they'd fit a tow bar for him for the caravan.
A nice gesture perhaps until after a 3 week trips around France, motorways, and everything, driving from Crewe to Plymouth, cross the channel all around France then 30 miles from home, we got pulled over because the caravan indicators were the wrong away round I mean it they were indicating left when the car was indicating right. This is because they had crossed the wires over so everything was wrong; just think about how dangerous that would have been.Next day back in Crewe go back to complain, on the way a chunk of metal fell out of the sunroof now the flap doesn't shut and the window bit clicks when it opens. The man at the Renault garage didn't seem to even care. Ok it's not fair to blame the car for the mechanics. But it was the whole attitude it was that Renault ring up every month and ask whether you like the car and if everything is OK and they seem surprised when they get the answer Yes… but the airbag doesn't work, the sunroof doesn't shut and did I mention the back seat doesn't go flat or even down anymore. And when they are told we are not 100% happy with the car they don't actually do anything about it or follow it up.
Yeah the other main fault was that we have to put the back seat down at least once a week for my cello to go across the back to the boot and it can't cope after about 3 months it was getting stuck and didn't go down properly and it never goes flat.The car itself is good though, my dad is now looking to replace it and he wanted to buy a new Laguna I said to him this one is less than 3 years old and it's falling apart…he said he knew but he likes it…
And he does like it so it can't be that bad I asked him about it for this, and I think I scared him because I have never taken an interesting in driving the car before only picking him a nice looking one!! He says it's the nicest car he as ever had and he accelerates well, handles great and well I've seen him go around a corner in 5th gear as a new driver I don't think I shall be looking to learn for my dad.I do like the look of it, I think the spoiler makes it better looking because without that it is a bit dull, the shape is nice, and on the inside it has a CD player, electric everything, soft seats and plenty of room.
It doesn't use much petrol either it appears very efficient gets to Durham and back on a tank of petrol. The engine is really quiet even when travelling fast. It's a good car I'm just not too happy with all the little faults like the airbag, they actually told us this was a common problem with this car…my maths teacher brings me home on a Tuesday and he has a similar Renault car and his petrol warning light is permanently on…I mean warning lights are there for a reason it's like the little boy who cries wolf what happens if there is a fault with the airbag? We don't know and if it opens whilst driving at 70 mph down the motorway then it could be lethal.I know I haven't been very nice about Renault but my mum has a Clio and I steal that quite frequently (beauty of being 17 with a driving licence) and we have never really had any problems with that so I may be doing them a disservice (I've written a review on the Clio too)…just the above was my experience of a Renault I suppose it comes down to what you want and what you think.
I think the fact he actually wanted the newer version of the same most mean the car outweighs the problems…I think actually with me and my sister off at uni next year I think he is angling for a proper sports car…. Mum has different ideas!In Summary nice car, pretty blue colour, goes fast, handles well, great fuel efficiency, quiet and comfortable to ride in good looking design…with the draw back of annoying little faults that don't really matter but are always there, the indicator thing was a garage error but it was a proper Renault garage so they should know their own cars…and Renault should employ competent people or at least pretend to care when they don't.

Get Him to the GreekStoller didn't have to search too deep in Hollywood's film catalogue to find a recent comedy that relied heavily on blow-out party scenes.
"I shot a lot of party footage for Get Him to the Greek (with Jonah Hill and Russell Brand), and I really learned what to do, and what not to do in a party scene."
Like what?
"Keep the camera low. It will feel like you are in some crazy party. Spring Breakers is another movie I watched that had a TON of great party sequences. But if you drop the camera low, it makes the audience feel that they are submerged in the crazy party. I also handed individual cameras to extras in the party scenes and had them film everything. Because then you can use their footage, and it makes it feel like an epic party, instead of a wide shot of 10,000 extras… which you really can't afford to stage, anyway!"

Keeper woes for Sky Blues
By Andy Clarke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Coventry are facing a goalkeeping crisis for their Boxing Day clash with Ipswich.
Coventry manager Micky Adams admitted he has a potential goalkeeping crisis ahead of the Boxing Day clash with Ipswich after Luke Steele was injured in the defeat at Luton.
Steele, who joined the club on an emergency loan on Friday following an injury to Andy Marshall, suffered a nasty gash to his leg at Kenilworth Road.
The injury required stitches, making Steele a doubt for Ipswich's visit to The Ricoh Arena.
"He's a doubt for Boxing Day with a gash on his knee," Adams confirmed.
"Andy Marshall is due to go in for an operation but we might have to cancel that for now."
Adams was pleased with the way his players responded to their 5-0 drubbing at West Brom, yet they still only had an Ahmet Brkovic own goal to show for their attacking endeavours.
"Their keeper got man of the match and rightly so," said Adams. "But that's about as well as we've played away from home this season in the first half and a good response from last week."

JVC Arsenal KW-NX7000 vs. AVIC-f90BT
Posted 27 June 2008 - 06:44 PM
It lacks some of the sex appeal of the 90BT i.e. voice recognition, but it looks pretty solid from a specifications perspective. Does anyone know anything more about this product such as avaialbility? Any comments about it's specs vs. the AVIC/Kenwood offerings?
Posted 27 June 2008 - 09:05 PM
Posted 28 June 2008 - 12:11 AM
what's the resolution of the dispay?
And the voice recognition just works through the mobile phone? Why did they mention it then? Has nothing to do with the unit...
Posted 28 June 2008 - 03:09 AM
When combined with a high performance GPS head unit that doesn't have voice I can still get the best of both worlds using Bluetooth audio streaming from the AT&T Tilt and have voice control. Anyhow, I am eager to learn more about this JVC because this seems like a good solution if the 90BT doesn't rise up from the ashes.

It's pretty lame to even bother mentioning it, as if a color LCD has ever had anything other than 3 sub-pixels per pixel!!!
Some less scrupulous companies use to claim something like a 1440x234 sub-pixel resolution, as if that mattered to anyone. It's weird, I've only seen that for car audio. I seldom see number of sub-pixels mentioned in any computer monitor specs (it's ALWAYS 3 anyway).

Im in the same boat as you with shopping around and trying to pick out the best unit for my needs. I was hott for the Z3, but that quickly was washed away by looking at the DNX8120 in great depth.
For the second time now, the JVC KW-NX7000 has come on my radar. I cant seem to find much info about this unit other then that presented on JVC's website. I would love to see a live demo of this unit, but none seem to exist
On the flip side, I was able to find additional screenshots of the KW-NX7000 by accident!!
CLICK HERE - Not the greatest, but some different screenshots hopefully this may help you a bit more. I am going to continue to search for a video demo of this puppy in action.

Humira is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and plaque psoriasis. It is also used to treat Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis in adults.
Eat a lot of fresh fruit for Vitamin C, take zinc supplements as well as a good multivitamin. Wash your hands often to prevent reinfection. If you run a fever, see your doctor. I find putting Vicks or Mentholatum in my nose really helps me feel better, but some people are grossed out by this -LoL.

I have been on a blog tour for the past few weeks, which has been great. It's given me a chance to chat with readers from all over. I can say that because, I know one of the blog stops was based in the United Kingdom and another was based in Australia. I've officially gone international. YEAH!
There are a lot of things I like about blog tours…I'll expound more once it's over. One of the things I like is it forced me to really get to know my book. I know that sounds strange seeing I wrote the story, but there were a lot of things I had forgotten about their back story and personality. We talk a lot about building or developing characters at RWA and this was very helpful.
I am the first to admit, I am a novice when it come to writer lingo or jargon…protagonist, story arch, subplot, syntax, deep point of view, conflict. antagonist, alliteration. And don't get me started on length…short story, novelette , novella, full length, jumbo or super length. I may not explain it in correct author terms, but I get by. However, there's one thing I know for sure, I read what I like and write what I like.
So when I decided to do the blog tour, I was asked to do a character interview. What the crap. I had no clue what that was. I'm not a stupid woman. I graduated college with honors. I had my own sports segment on my college television station for a year, which also aired on local cable. I interned in the Sports Department at the local NBC Station in Tulsa for a year. I worked in Public Relations and the music industry. Plus I run my own business, but this stumped me. When the blog tour promoter answered my simple question, another, "What the crap!†popped into my head. How was I going to interview these two people without giving the story away. Oh yeah, and I had to provide the questions.
I thought long and hard about this and once I started writing, it just flowed. This was my favorite type of interview to do during the tour. I'm already kicking around possible questions for characters from my next books. A good thing about this type of interview/post, is it makes the characters seem real, which helps tell the story.
Here's my post from a couple of days ago that first appeared on Writer In Progress Blog [www.writerip.blogspot.com].Meet GENERATIONAL CURSE's Kyla James and Sean PrescottGENERATIONAL CURSE is set in New York.

The Market Pricing of Implicit Options in Merger Collars
Almost 20% of stock-swap merger bids contain collars that affect the payment received by target shareholders. I argue that a collar bid offers two sources of value to target shareholders: the basic offer premium and the value of the implicit collar options. Hypothesizing that the market should price both sources of value implicit in a collar merger bid, I value the implicit collar options and find the market prices both the offer premium and option value equally. This suggests that market participants are cognizant of the "fine print" of merger agreements and, in particular, implies that the two offer components are substitutable.

CINCINNATI, Ohio (WIAT) — Jury selection is underway in the trial of a former Ohio police officer charged in the death of an unarmed man. Ray Tensing is charged with Murder and Voluntary Manslaughter in the death of Samuel Dubose.
Bodycam video shows the former University of Cincinnati officer pulling Dubose over near campus for a missing front license plate. Just moments later, Tensing shoots Dubose without warning.
Tensing's lawyer says Dubose was trying to drive away and his client feared being dragged under the car.
The university settled with Dubose's family for nearly $5 million. They will also provide free undergraduate education for Dubose's children.

You control three different droids, each with different capabilities; they can be activated in turn, and each sent to one of a series of hexagonal landscapes.
These barren vistas consist of ramps and valleys, chasms and level plains. Move your droids carefully, controlling their movement so they don't tumble to their death or wander into acid lakes: there is a task to be done. Contained within each landscape are energy pods which must all be collected before the droid can go on to the next panorama.
The letters B-O-N-U-S can also be collected to give a bonus play later.
The landscapes are inhabited by patrolling alien droids who can reduce your own droid's energy level, though it can be restored by picking up items. To help your droids in their quest are teleport pads, a dread-freeze device that temporarily immobilises alien droids, ice switches that glaciate an acid lake, and time capsules that either extend your time limit of an hour or reduce it.
Collectible smart bombs not only destroy all the alien mechanoids in the immediate area but can also take out enemy droid-generators. That's useful because when all the generators in a landscape have been destroyed, no more alien droids come a-nibbling at your robot's tin heels till the next landscape.
When a screen has been successfully completed a flashing hexagon is shown on the main landscape map. Link the far left landscape to the far right landscape with a series of such hexagons and victory is yours.
'Despite the large play area and the many landscapes, Red L.E.D. has surprisingly little game content. Most of your time is spent going through an endless (and colourless) void; only a tiny fraction of the map actually has anything affixed to it. And to make matters worse all the characters are very small and intricately detailed; thus they end up looking like smudges on the screen. Red L.E.D offers very little.' PAUL … 51%
'Red L.E.D. is a decent little game for Marble Madness fans the world over. The graphics are attractive; the scrolling is a lot smoother than in many games of this genre, but it still jerks more than it should for a play area of its size. Red LE.D. is playable and quite addictive, but there's still a niggling feeling that it isn't going to last as long as a full-price product should.'
'Some games, such as Firebird's Park Patrol (reviewed in this issue), benefit from slow-response graphics. Red LE.D. does not! The intricate landscape layouts require a speedy yet controlled movement. Yet after two hours of mastering droid-control, the game becomes playable, if nearly impossible to complete. The lurid colours scrambling all over the screen in a wild complexity of jumbled lines don't make it any easier or more fun. Also, the reasoning behind your losing a small amount of energy for jumping out of the arena and losing a great deal for bumping into a jumbled mass of confused pixels the inlay calls an enemy droid escapes me completely; one happens as frequently as the other. Still, though I find games with many similar screens taxing on my patience, I'm sure many will love Red L.E.D..'
Joysticks: Cursor, Kempston, Sinclair
Graphics: mainly monochromatic, good scrolling
Sound: tune and FX, but nothing stunning
Options: definable keysGeneral Rating: A limited but enjoyable Marble Madnessesque collecting game.
'Lurid colours in a wild complexity of jumbled lines'.
Red L.E.D.: a simple collecting challenge.

Pope Benedict XVI looks on during his weekly Wednesday general audience in Paul VI hall at the Vatican January 20, 2010.
Pope Benedict XVI, who is 82 and known not to love computers or the internet, urged that Catholic priests exploit the "rich menu of options" available in order to grab the attention of younger people, in his message for the Roman Catholic Church's World Day of Communications. He stated, "Priests are thus challenged to proclaim the Gospel by employing the latest generation of audiovisual resources – images, videos, animated features, blogs, websites." Though, while he seemed keen on using this method to spread the influence of the church, he also asked the priests to remained cautious. "Priests present in the world of digital communications should be less notable for their media savvy than for their priestly heart," the Pope added. Last year, a new Vatican website, www.pope2you.net, went live, offering one application called "The pope meets you on Facebook," and another allowing the faithful to see the pope's speeches and messages on their iPhones or iPods.

2 weeks on Embrel - Does it get worse before it gets better?
Hi, I've been reading everyone posts but this is my 1st. I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica in Jan 16 and RA in Feb 2016. I was on prednisone and methotrexate, but had terrible gastro intestinal problems. Started Embrel 2 weeks ago. With 2nd injection got a rash which is hot and itchy on the injection site, plus on the 1st injection site as well. I feel worse than before I started the injections. So does it get worse before it gets better? Anyone with experience? Feel somewhat freaked out. This never occurred to me. Thank you, Laine

Johannesburg - Acting Judge Patrick Maqubela was in serious financial difficulties at the time of his death, the Western Cape High Court heard on Monday.
Maqubela had numerous bonded fixed properties and a number of vehicles, together worth between R18m and R20m, his financial adviser, Shan Nissiotis, told the court.
Nissiotis was the first State witness to be called at the trial of the judge's widow, Thandi Maqubela, and her co-accused, Vela Mabena.
They both stand accused of the judge's murder.
Maqubela alone is also alleged to have forged the judge's will, and to have fraudulently presented it to the office of the Master of the High Court, a division of the justice department that deals with deceased estates.
For this, she faces charges of fraud and forgery.
Maqubela and Mabena pleaded not guilty to the murder charge before Gauteng Judge John Murphy.
Murphy was seconded to the Western Cape High Court to preside in the Maqubela case, as the deceased judge was too well-known to the Cape judges.
Maqubela alone pleaded not guilty to the additional two charges.
The defence team advocate Marius Broeksma for Maqubela, and attorney Randall Titus for Mabena, confirmed to the judge that their clients realised they faced prescribed life sentences if the court ruled the murder was premeditated and committed in common purpose with each other or as a conspiracy.
Nissiotis told the court that Judge Maqubela had engaged his services to ensure that his family were financially secured in the event of his death.
"He was battling to service the bonds, and the banks were looking to foreclose on the properties," he said.
On one occasion, the judge asked Nissiotis to accompany him to a meeting with an Absa attorney, as Absa had been seriously concerned about the judge's arrears payments.
Nissiotis said his purpose in attending the meeting had been to help the judge "keep the wolves at bay".
He said the judge had been "concerned to ensure that his debts were covered".
In 2008, a life policy taken out for this purpose lapsed due to the judge's failure to pay the monthly premium.
Nissiotis said the judge then wanted a R20m life policy to cover his debts.
If such a policy represented too much of a risk, the insurance company would either decline the proposal or "load" the premium, he said.
In this instance, the insurer accepted the proposal without loading the premium.
The trial continues on Tuesday.
Poor Judges how can they will give right decisions if they in money troubles ? Government need to re look at Judges salaries . Salaries and benefits need to be increase as soon as possible.
nothing wrong with their salaries it's more a case of this new found wealth for PDI's being overwhelming so much so that they can't live within their means. Who needs a number of properties & vehicles estimated at R18-R20m. just to flaunt your status & keep up with the Juliasses?
This is crazy.
@muhhamedvefa.dag -
A high court judge not less than hundred and twenty thousand (R120000)a month.
Government is not responsible for financial planning of its employees.
Judge? How could we ever trust a judge to make any sort of ruling when his own personal life is in total dissaray. Looks like he was after the bling life.
"Numerous bonded fixed properties and a number of vehicles, together worth between R18m and R20m" !! - Remember the days when judges were above reproach and, because of their excellent salaries and pensions for life, never did anything as sordid as to get into financial 'difficulties' - that's why they were so well remunerated. Greed, it seems, extends everywhere in SA now.

7 months year(s)
Buy this make again?
Price and equipment8.0/10
We paid 31990.00 which also included ABS braking, tow bar, full tinting, DVD, cruise control, weather shields and full matting. We didn't even come close to looking at anything else for the price
Under the bonnet6.0/10
My husband tells me that we ould do with another gear as the engine revs high (automatic), but as far as I'm concerned everything is fine.
How it drives6.0/10
The car was purchased to comfortably transport a family of 5. In regards to this everyone is more than comfortable with heaps of room travelling. The car can be slow to reach speed, but once it is there it travels beautifully.
Comfort and practicality8.0/10
Very comfortable. Perhaps the only thing is luggage space at the rear. The seats can quite easily be rearranged to create extra space.
Servicing and running costs6.0/10
Costs about the same to run as our old Holden station wagon.
Aesthetics and styling6.0/10
Heaps of internal room and doesn't look to bad from the outside either.
Quality and reliability8.0/10
Have had no trouble in reagrds to quality and reliabilty
Overall verdict8.0/10
A great priced family vehicle at the budget end of the market. Would purchase again.

January 28, 2009
Later today, Boom Tho heads to the southwest for a game in Albuquerque against the Thunderbirds. My team is confident that we can get the victory if we do what we're supposed to, and I've already got a few people lined up to use my free tickets. It figures to be a pretty successful trip except for one thing: I might not play. Let me tell you why.
On Saturday we played in Sioux Falls. These guys are our rivals, a rivalry that borders on the Bulls-Pistons level back in the day. I mean, I guess I should say it's as close to that kind of hard-fought, knockdown, drag-out rivalry as a minor league basketball rivalry can be. The guys on each team are usually some of the best in the D-League. They have been with the same team for years. Of course, the whole "North Dakota vs. South Dakota" thing plays a part. The attendance is the best in the league for these games. There's just a lot of emotion involved every time we play.
Well, the last game was no different. We were playing hard, talking trash, battling for every loose ball and scrapping for every point. This continued until halfway through the fourth quarter when my team started to make a run that would ultimately determine the outcome of the game.
We pushed our lead out to about nine or 10 when a rebound bounced out to Richard Hendrix. I took off running and it led to a two-on-one break with me and my PG. Right when we got to the other end, he fed me the ball. I took one dribble to the other side of the hoop to avoid the shot blocker, went up and ... all of a sudden I wasn't going up, but out. I was flying completely sideways into the base of the hoop. It was actually a pretty frightening feeling having no control of my body.
I laid there for a minute, listening to the crowd go crazy, and trying to get myself together. It didn't take me long to realize that I had been pushed. Hard. I got up angry, but completely unsure of who had done it and if it was on purpose. The referees then issued a Flagrant 2 to Bobby Jones and he was ejected from the game. I had so much adrenaline flowing that I couldn't feel a thing expect anger and disbelief that that had just transpired.
Once the dust had settled, I knocked down my two free throws and got ready for the next play. The problem was, when the next play started, I couldn't run. At all. I barely made it down the floor in time to foul Glen McGowan, who got angry, yelled, got a T and was also ejected.
I looked over at coach and asked for a sub. There was only a minute left in the game and we had a 15-point lead so I went to the trainer. Pulled hammy was the diagnosis. Coddamn! My stat line for the day was 28 minutes, 15 rebounds and a pulled hammy. Injured by a flagrant foul.
Now I've been rehabbing it for the past few days and hoping to get it right for tomorrow so I can do what I do. I feel Chase Budinger's pain, I guess. Although, I'm sure his face is fine by now and my hammy may need a couple more days. Maybe I'd prefer the face stomp.
See you in Albuquerque.
Rod Benson is a Cal grad who plays for the D-League's Dakota Wizards. When he's not busy rehabbing, he blogs one or two times a week on Ball Don't Lie. Read his archive, pay a visit to TooMuchRodBenson.com and always support the Boom Tho movement.

It was first built in 1926, so the infrastructure needed a little bit of an update.
But come Saturday, this two decade hiatus will end with a fundraising event.
It's a well-known downtown Sioux Falls building on the outside, but many haven't seen the inside for quite some time.
"In the last couple of years we've put millions of dollars into the infrastructure into the building, all the bones of the building if you will," says the president of the Sioux Falls State Theatre Board of Directors, John Swedeen.
Four million dollars to be exact, Swedeen says these efforts brought the 90-year-old building back to code, and restored the lobby area.
"The next part of the project is the fun part, where we raise money and restore the auditorium, the balcony the rigging, all the fixtures; we are going to restore this building to its original splendor," explains Swedeen.
But to do so, they need another $4 million.
"To continue the restoration project, an event will be held this Saturday.
Organizers are calling it a sort of dinner party, before the house is completed.
"We're going to be showing 'The General' which is a Buster Keaton comedy and it's a silent film," says Founder and Director of Cinema Falls, the organization putting on the event, Julie Anderson Friesen.
But it won't be completely silent; a live orchestra will be playing right next to the audience.
"They're able to create all kinds of sound affects so they'll be set off to the side and they will watch the screen and play along with that and they play original scores," says Anderson Friesen.
It will be the first show since 1991.
While some fold-up chairs will be placed next to scaffolding, and there's a small hole in the screen, Anderson Friesen says that's the beauty of this fundraising event.
"People are going to see this [and think] this is what we are here for, this is what we need to finish and I want to be part of it."
The show will seat 350 people, tickets start at $20, but they're selling out quickly.
Those can be purchased at the Cinema Falls website.
