A total bathroom makeover can cost a lot of money but by installing something as simple as a bathroom vanity you'll be amazed at how much more space your bathroom seems to have, and how easy it is to keep it tidy. Bathroom vanities are cabinets which include a sink as well as a countertop and improve the functionality of your bathroom.
This trick doesn't work. As the RROD is caused by overheating, wrapping it in a towel will make the problem persist. I recommend either getting a RROD repair kit, getting it repaired at a PC store or buying a new one.
lol it works same as blowdrying ur ps3 mother board, the heat from the fan has no where to excape in 2 towels so the heat stays and the heat just fixes it somehow idk exactly how but it has to do with heat and towes
How the hell did that work? I don't know ... uh ... how .... TOWELS ... is one of those towels, Towelie? Did he do some repairs while wrapped around the Xbox 360? I must know! I think they must have swapped it with a working Xbox 360, until I see the unedited video ... or the Mythbusters test it.
It's ridiculous that a console this new is already broken. And this is the same console that was voted #1 machine in one of those British video game magazines (not Retro Gamer but the one published by the same company, Imagine). Love that magazine, but all I gotta say is #1 my ass. I'll take the NES, CDX (Genesis & Sega CD in one), SNES, 2600, and all the 16-bit & earlier machines over the Xbox or even the PS3 (that I want to get) or any 3D console for that matter.
i never actually experienced an rrod but it did break so i claimed intermitent rrod to get it fixed and they fixed it, these days i have the almighty slim model, no more of that rrod
I've had all 3 systems they all kinda suck but I gotta go with the ps3 for free online and less lockups.

The Big AND
Sometimes it seems that everyone is talking and sometimes fighting over missional or attractional practices of church. But what if God has designed every church to be both deeply missional AND relationally attractive? In this session, Halter will take you back to the roots of Christian practice and help you find the balance of the AND.
Hugh Halter
Founder of Missio, lead pastor of Adullam, and author of The Tangible Kingdom, AND, and Sacrilege, Halter speaks extensively across the country, encouraging and equipping pastors in incarnational ministry and missional leadership. He and his wife, Cheryl, have three children: Alli, McKenna, and Ryan. His daughters will be heading off to college soon, and, after 25 years of living at home, their son, who has struggled with epilepsy since birth, now lives in Beverly Farms, an assisted living center in Illinois for adults with disabilities.

Claimed RHP Todd Redmond off waivers from the Reds. [2/8]
Designated OF-S Trayvon Robinson for assignment. [2/8]
Redmond came to Cincinnati via the Paul Janish deal. Knowing this, you can guess about his limited upside. Sure, Redmond looks physical and durable; he might be the latter but he isn't the former. His fastball goes average speeds and he relies on mixing speeds and locations. As a cheap no. 6 or 7 starter you can do worse. Just hope he doesn't start more than a few times per season.

Google's wonderfully random Niels Bohr doodle
I fancy that Google's doodlers sit in a room where every wall is a different color.
I imagine that they walk into work everything morning, not knowing what they will be doing, thinking or smoking.
And then they just chat.
Someone says something. Someone else says something entirely unrelated. And then, through some odd finger-pointing and head-bobbing, they reach a conclusion.
How else to explain today's doodle which celebrates the birthday of one of physics' great lights, Niels Bohr?
Bohr had such refined talents that not only did he win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922, but … Read more

Now, bitches, I am going to give life back into music. And in the process, the RPG.
The best way to do that is to... Make RPs. But, I'm unsure what to make, exactly. Therefore, I am starting a little interest check. All these RPs will be causal, and I'll expect a paragraph a post for all of them.
Since I am half asleep right now, you will get half assed basic ideas, deal with it.
1. The Megaverse: The Criss-Cross Conspiracy
Alright, I was in the mood for my own Multiverse-type RP for a little while now. Basically, there are a shitload of universes out there. Each of them are unique in their own way. Some are sci-fi, some are fantasy. All of them are different. There were barriers placed to keep the universes separate--- But, for some reason, this barrier was broken; causing portals to open in some of the universes. Goatse-style. Therefore, causing the Champions of these universes to spill out on to each other's worlds. Havoc, and awesomeness followed. Either, these champions will try to make friendly with each other, or murder each other. No matter what happens, a threat will loom that will... You know what the fuck's going to happen. No point in even saying it.
This RP will be different from the other rps I'm going to suggest here, in a major way. Because this RP will be focused on AWESOME. This TVTropes page basically sums up what I mean. This RP will feature lots of silly or improbable elements simply because they're awesome. The Willing Suspension of belief (And to an extent, disbelief) will basically be nonexistent after we're through with this RP. Because this RP will not be one to be taken seriously, it will be one for fun. However, I do expect things to make sense. I just want things to be over-the-top awesome.
Now, as for characters: you can make literally any character you please. However, there will be a simple process before you make characters, if you can bear with me. First, you'll have to fill out a long-ish sheet describing your universe. Second, then you make characters for that universe (Quickly interjecting that you can make characters for other universe). Easy enough? As I was saying, literally any character. Because this RP will be over-the-top as hell. Therefore, I will allow powerful characters.
Now, if what you read read wasn't an indicator enough, this RP will have lots of fighting. Over the top fighting.
If you excuse, I have to kill myself for using the word "awesome" too much.
2. Young New Generation: Journey of a old World
A simple idea I had. Basically it's about a group of random adventurers in a fantasy setting, going town, to city, to nation, having generally nonlinear adventures. It'll be one big fantasy kitchen sink, with mythological creatures from every single culture or whatever. Dragons, Minotaurs, Elves, that shit. The main crisis that the world will be facing is that the magic is fading away. Poof, gone. Therefore, the world's falling into chaos as what is holding the world together (Not literally) is gone. So, people are going to be a bit crazy. And that could possibly be the group's motivation. However, I want this to lean on medieval. So, it'll be less about shooting fireballs, and more about killing stuff with swords, and anything like that. I'll allow pretty much anything as long as it's fantasy/medieval. Samurais? Yes. Knights? Yes. Vikings? Yes. Lady Gaga. No.
You get the picture by now. This RP will be combat based, with plenty of story! Yes. Lotssssss of story.
3. Soul in a new Machine: The Cybernetic Prison
Cyyyyyboooooooorgs... Basically, I've been playing far too much Human Revolution, Anarchy Reigns, and Metal Gear Solid. Therefore, I want to make an RP about cyborgs. I generally want Metal Gear Sold/Anarchy Reigns type cyborgs, using cool weapons and epic technology based abilities. The setting? The world has gone to shit, and it's post apocalyptic. Nuclear war was engulfed the world, and turned the place into a generally unkind place. Before you even start thinking; there will be NO mutants or anything of the kind. There will be cyborgs. Now, back to the plot, cybernetics have spread all over the world, and see widespread use, in case that already wasn't obvious. Cybernetics are easily acquired, and can be put together by just about anyone. There are, of course, that kind of cybernetics, and the epic high-end cybernetics that are capable of bad assery.
Okay, I think I'm going off point here. Now, as the world has gone to shit: there is a utopia known as Haven. It's a massive, nation-sized, city in the middle of Africa. Keeping in the peeps that are rich and privileged, while keeping out the unmentionables. The cast will be apart of some elite special cyborg forces. Heading out of Haven to catch a terrorist with the power to turn Haven upside down. All while murdering every psychopath that he has employed, along the way.
As you can tell, this RP will be combat-based.
If you guys don't like these ideas, you can screw off. Because, I am tired, and therefore, extremely pissed off.

$95.00 Enroll Now!
Today's teachers are using two powerful approaches—Differentiated Instruction (DI) and Response to Intervention (RTI)—to help every child succeed academically. In this course, you'll learn how to put this "dynamic duo" to work in your own classroom teaching and lesson plans.
You'll start by exploring different learning styles and delving into a concept called multiple intelligences. In addition, you'll look at the factors that motivate students to learn in a child-centered classroom.
After that, you'll master the basics of both DI and RTI and learn how these two approaches work hand-in-hand to enhance children's learning. You'll find out how to perform different types of assessments, monitor your students' progress, select research-based teaching materials, address learners' diverse needs, and move students up or down the RTI tiers so they're getting just the right help they need.
In addition, you'll find out why collaboration is crucial when you're implementing RTI and DI. You'll discover how you and your colleagues will work together as a team to identify at-risk students, plan solutions, and address problems quickly and efficiently. And finally, you'll learn how to get parents involved as active partners in the education process.
Case studies and examples will help you see how DI and RTI strategies work in the real world, and you'll get lots of ideas for hands-on activities you can start using right away in your own classroom. Throughout this course, you'll have opportunities to practice new techniques and exchange ideas with fellow educators and your instructor. You'll come away armed with powerful and easy-to-implement strategies that will benefit every student you teach.
This course includes a knowledgeable and caring instructor who will guide you through your lessons, facilitate discussions, and answer your questions. The instructor for this course will be Marsha Spears.
A veteran educator who has taught every grade but third, Marsha Spears has spent 35 years teaching students and training teachers. Spears earned a bachelor's and master's degree in educational administration with a specialty in curriculum and literacy development, training that would prepare her to take on the toughest of classrooms. And tough classrooms are where she made her mark, helping a wide variety of at-risk learners read with renewed confidence. Over the years, thousands of students and teachers have learned how easily they can incorporate Spears' reading techniques and activities into their daily routines.

The winter months are approaching. As the mercury begins to dip, some families, struggling to stay warm, will turn on the kitchen stove burners and the oven in an effort to take the chill off of their home. What these families don't realize is how dangerous this practice can be. A gas oven or range top should never be used for heating. A fire could start and poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) fumes could fill the home. Any fuel-burning heating equipment (fireplaces, furnaces, water heaters, space or portable heaters), generators and chimneys can produce carbon monoxide.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there is an increased risk of dying in a home fire during the winter season. December, January and February are generally the deadliest months for fire.
The Alexandria Fire Department encourages homeowners with fuel-burning appliances to have one or more working carbon monoxide alarms installed in thier home. Fuel-burning appliances should be inspected regularly by a licensed technician to ensure they are operating properly. Never use fuel-burning appliances for anything other than what they are designed for.

I hope we see more of Mr. Dempsey in a Fulham uniform next year...I still have hope.

AggieMatt wrote:I think you got it half right Joe. Dembele should stay and further solidify his game before taking the big transfer...but he should stay where he is. Moving into Clint's spot would only bring his value down. He's not a natural goal scorer, but he's hell on the ball and ever improving as a passer and defender.
sfm wrote:Against my better judgement, I am flying back for this match even though I need to be in New Orleans the following evening. I sincerely believe this will be Clint Dempsey's last home match for Fulham. He is all about self improvement and I suspect he feels he has outgrown what he can accomplish here without testing himself in the Champions League. Unless he tries, he will never know, and we all know what a trier our Clint is.
I never considered myself a Clint Dempsey supporter though I have had the privilege to have been at many seminal events in his career. These included the friendly against Fulham in Columbus when he featured for MLS All stars, and if memory serves, scored two goals. I was also in Nuremburg with Uncle Sam's Army supporting McBride and Bocanegra when he ghosted in at the opposite end against Ghana in the 49th minute. A flight delay conspired to cause me watching the Juventus goal from an airport lounge in Frankfurt, and of course, there were the equalizers against our SW6 rivals, including this past Boxing Day when the wife and I were in the Shed end. There was the heartbreak of Cech's save on Valentine's night last year and Easter Monday on my last visit, after his last equalizer. The ball was rolling softly towards the left channel near the touch line in the 94th minute as he arched in from the right to collect it in hope to spring one last attack. So, when the final whistle sounded I saw him stop but not at once, looking disbelievingly over his right shoulder back towards the referee with a face as if to say "is that all there is?" His disappointment was as visible as it was palpable.
Throughout he has acquitted himself with the quiet decency of a classic hero and I expect nothing less in the manner of his leaving. I felt compelled to return for the Birmingham City match four years ago this month to pay my respect in person to Brian McBride. When I booked my journey after the draw at Derby, it might well have been our last home match in the league. To thank Clinton Dempsey in person for what he has given our club seems for a man in my position, the very least I can do.
I will be he the Jolly Gardener's before the match, in the right side by the corner as you enter, wearing glasses like Geoffrey Howe's, drinking a pint and reading the Private Eye.

Olly Murs Tickets and Concert Dates
In-depth Biography
With a "cheeky chappy" persona to match Robbie Williams and vocals reminiscent of original Pop Idol Will Young, former call-center worker Olly Murs was one of the success stories of the 2009 series of The X Factor, finishing runner-up to Joe McElderry in the hotly contested final. Born in Essex in 1984, Murs showed little interest in singing while at school, focusing his attention on football, where he played for the school team and later semi-professionally for local non-league team Witham Town. In 2007, he appeared on Deal or No Deal, where he won a lowly £10, but it was his performance of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on the sixth series of The X Factor that enabled him to show off his talents. Mentored by Simon Cowell in the live stages, he wowed judges with renditions of songs by the Beatles, Queen, and George Michael and soon became the favorite to win the show. However, despite a duet with musical hero Robbie Williams in the final, Murs finished a respectable second. In 2010, he signed a six-figure record deal with Epic/Syco Music and embarked on the sold-out X Factor arena tour. After being personally invited by Williams to play at the televised charity football event Soccer Aid, Murs released his first single, the Jason Mraz-inspired "Please Don't Let Me Go," in August. His debut album, featuring songs written by Eg White, Scouting for Girls' Roy Stride, and Wayne Hector, was scheduled for release in 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi

Turns out big business CAN equal green business
By Charissa Kavermann
When looking around my own community to find out about what it had to offer in the green design department, I didn't think it would be the biggest building on the block.
Previously when I looked at large corporations and huge building designs I didn't think 'sustainable', but after looking more into what the large Telstra Clear building down the road has to offer, I realise you can't judge a book by its cover.
The TelstraClear Building is the corporate headquarters of national telecommunications carrier TelstraClear. It was designed by award-winning architects Warren and Mahoney to meet international best practice in terms of design, future-proofing and sustainability. In 2005, it was officially recognised by the Ministry for the Environment as one of the most architecturally significant and distinctive landmarks in the Auckland.
The building is five-storeys and nearly 18,000sqm, making it one of the largest buildings in the North Shore, yet it is the most sustainable. The glass building is shaped in a 120 degree ring. It looks like a third of a doughnut. In keeping with the building philosophy, the TelstraClear Building has a flexible, future-proofed design. It is a large building that makes use of the latest sustainable building technologies. For example, there is micro-zoned heating and ventilation along with natural light sensors that turn off the lights on bright days. Raised floors throughout the building mean that the space can be quickly reconfigured. Outside normal business hours the toilets and floors are controlled by passive infrared sensors. There are also high ceilings and glass windows to make the most of solar heating.
TelstraClear estimates it reduced electricity demands by 30% when it moved to the building. After looking at the stats it is great to know that large corporations are thinking greener and making sure they have a triple bottom line philosophy. Fortunately for our planet is likely that most buildings being built from this time on will have a green ethos and these new buildings are likely to have green design as part of the architecture.
Maybe other large corporations in New Zealand who dwell in older buildings can contribute to environmental factors better with sustainable renovation or by adding
and buying environmentally friendly products and energy-efficient appliances. If implemented they can measure the energy savings and carbon footprint of their business and their building. New Zealanders can look forward to a future of large corporations creating greener practices.
It would be great to find out about any green design happenings in your own community. Feel free to comment below on what's been happening in your area
and what you think larger corporations can do to create a more sustainable working environment.

Easy Homemade Lotion Recipe
By Cari Dunn
Storebought lotions can contain parabens and other chemicals that can seep into your body through your skin. Even natural lotions can contain 40 or more ingredients, and many of these are unnecessary.
You can make homemade lotion with simple ingredients you probably have on hand. Lotion is made of water, oil, and an emulsifying wax to bind the oil and water. You can customize the recipe with different oils to create a lotion specific to your needs. You can also add fragrance oils or essential oils to create a lotion in your favorite scent.
Basic Lotion Recipe
You will need
- Double boiler
- Glass measuring cup
- Wooden spoon
- 1/4 cup oil (olive oil or almond oil work well)
- 1 1/4 cup distilled water
- 1/4 cup emulsifying wax
- Fragrance oil
- Body-safe colorant or food coloring
- Place double boiler on stove top and heat on medium-low. Add oil and wax and let heat until melted.
- Boil water in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add oil and wax mixture to water. Stir with wooden spoon. It will be thin, but it will thicken as it cools. Let cool slightly and pour into bottle.
- If you want to add a scent, use 15-20 drops of fragrance oil or essential oil to the slightly cooled mixture. You can also add a few drops of colorant as desired.
- Leave the cap off until the lotion has cooled completely, but do place the cap on and shake to blend the lotion and additives. Remove cap after shaking.
Once you are comfortable making homemade lotion, you can start to experiement with different oils and butters. You can also use shea or cocoa butter for a thicker lotion, but it might be better stored in a jar rather than a bottle. Olive and sweet almond oils are good choices to moisturize your skin, and both are easy to find.
Emulsifying wax can be found at some craft stores in the section with their soap-making supplies. If you can't find it locally, you can also order it on the Internet to make your homemade lotion.

FOOTBALL: Palmer set for City debut
10:00am Friday 4th October 2013 in Football By Nick Farrant, Sports reporter specialising in Non League Football. Call me on 01865 425488
Oxford City boss Mike Ford could hand former Burton Albion midfielder Chris Palmer a debut when his side host Stalybridge Celtic in Skrill North at Marsh Lane tomorrow.
Palmer, 29, who was released by the Brewers in March, has joined City on a short-term contract after returning from a spell at Waitakere United in New Zealand.
Ford said he was delighted with the capture of the former Derby County trainee, who goes straight into the squad to face the 11th-placed visitors.
"I have been looking to bolster the squad and Chris will be ideal," he said.
"Some people might say after our first win last week (a 1-0 FA Cup victory at home to Maidenhead United), that we have cracked it.
"Well, we haven't and we have brought in a player of real quality in Chris, who has signed a short-term deal until Christmas." After leaving Derby in 2004, Palmer joined Notts County before moving to Wycombe.
He later had spells at Walsall and Gillingham before joining Burton in 2011, where he made 49 appearances, scoring five goals.
"We have brought in Marvin Robinson and with Chris joining we have got real competition for places," said Ford.
"James Clifton was left out against Maidenhead and Declan Benjamin came in and did great at right back.
"So he'll start again on Saturday and if James wants his place back, he's going to have to work really hard in training."
Ford added: "We were professional against Maidenhead and showed real desire.
"We now have to grind out another win against Stalybridge."
City give late fitness tests to Robinson (hamstring) and Andy Ballard (knee).
Oxford City (v Stalybridge Celtic, home): from Francoz, Clifton, Stone-house, Pond, Henderson, Willmott, Williams, Malone, Symons, McNish, Winters, Cook, Benjamin, Learoyd, Basham, Scott, Robinson, Palmer, Ballard.
