My Laptop started freezing with random interruptions in both sound and image while playing avi. files, no matter which video player I am using (Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, VLC). Other video files, like mkv. play with no problems. I have downloaded the latest k lite full codec pack, uptaded video drivers for my Toshiba, uninstalled and reinstalled the players, tried Microsoft fix that deleted some codecs with no results. Any ideas on what the origin of the problem might be, and how can I solve it? Thank you Best regards
since the issue started yesterday, there may have been some change on the system that caused this issue. i would suggest doing a system restore to a restore point to a point earlier than 2 days ago. Start>All programs>accessories>system tools>System Restore first create a new system restore point (in case something breaks so you can 'undo') then restore the computer back to a date earlier than 2 days ago. make sure you use a "System Check Point" i find that the other ones can be flakey. once the system restore is complete, the computer will reboot. then try to play your avi with VLC media player and see if it works. hopefully this resolves your issue
well if you are running windows XP you can still do a "manual system restore." its much more involved and there is a possibility you can properly break your computer. All your settings are saved in the windows registry. System restore takes snapshots of your registry but windows also keeps a more extensive backup which you can use to recover from a corrupted registry. what you can do is pretend like you have a corrupt registry and recover it to an earlier time. Here's a microsoft knowledge base article that describes in detail what you need to do http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 this is what i normally do when i hit a brick wall like you have. If you are unable to isolate the cause of the issue, the only thing you can do is wipe your system and start with a clean install. if you are using windows 7 the process is simpler but 7 only keeps 1 backup (from 10 days ago if i remember correctly) the process is similar, you need the installation disk, use the repair option and then from the command prompt, back up the registry in /windows/system32/config/ your 10 day old backup is in /windows/system32/config/regback/ copy and replace your existing registry and then try if it breaks your computer, restore the registry using the backup you made if all else fails and this is something you cannot live with, wipe the system clean and do a fresh windows install

Singer-guitarist Wayne Coyne approaches his craft with an overwhelming acid naivete; to him, every sound in the universe is important, or at least worth exploring. In fact, the sounds on Clouds are far more important than song structure. Coyne's panoramic view of pop travels the line from Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd to the Butthole Surfers, making all stops in between.
The Lips are either some the world's most clever plagiarists or latent geniuses on the verge of discovering their potential. For the Flaming Lips there are no rules. Coyne kills some perfectly fine vocal melodies with his quavering voice, while, for the most part, delicate melodies and song fragments are mangled by screeching guitars and fuzzy mayhem. The songs are beautiful cakes garnished with metal shavings. Their previous album, Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, almost fooled the mainstream based on the oddball appeal of "She Don't Use Jelly." After that they toured extensively, then retreated back to the studio to prepare further surprises.
On stage, the Flaming Lips recreate their studio wizardry by turning knobs (especially up) and stepping on pedals. The sheer overkill in the volume department metamorphoses them into a mean, loud sonic machine that produces muscular riffs bristling with verve. The mind-bending effect is similar to that of their albums, bless their satellite hearts.
--Philip Chrissopoulos
The Flaming Lips perform May 24 at Trees. Richard Davies opens.

There can be no question of the sheer variety of people in Lebanon. From Beirut to Bekaa to Tripoli, we often forget how beautiful Lebanon and its people really are.
The man behind Humans of Lebanon, Joey Ayoub, was inspired by the original idea, Humans of New York. Aiming to "celebrate Lebanon's diversity by showing you its inhabitants, " the project does just that and more. Nostalgia mixed with pride and sprinkled with curiosity, Humans of Lebanon is quality feeling.
Check out the photo album and smile at the funky old men around Saida, the lovey-dovey couples in Hamra, or the teensy children giggling in Dbayeh.
The Lebanese are awesome.

I ordered Cherrylicious, Blue Motherfcker, and citrus - - - First I found that they had melted during shipping, but that's no big deal - - - you can always break it back up after you put them in the fridge for a while - When I opened them, i got super excited! They smelled so amazing, and really made me think I was going to have an intense flavor - So, I loaded the gel drops into my vortex bowl, just as instructed - - - not compact at all - I started off with 2 coals only, and it was kind of weak - - - so I bumped it up to 3 coco nara coals - The smoke was super thick, and wasn't harsh at all - - - but the flavor was pretty much absent - You could taste a mild flavor of the drops, but it wasn't anything like what I was expecting from the smell - I was very disappointed :
Tried the peach last week and I absolutely enjoyed it smoked real good and had big clouds will definitely purchase again -
HUGE clouds, decent flavor, VERY little heat management - Everyone should try this a couple times - Get 2 or 3 flavors and give it a shot - It gives off an odd taste at the beginning but goes away quickly - 2-3 coconaras on a regular size phunnel bowl works perfect - If you or your friends get headaches or nauseous from smoking hookah, then try this - Its a light smoke, but the clouds are huge, something you have to try to understand -
I had Party on the Beach and it was a great flavor - A mix between fruity and subtle other tones it was a great flavor - This stuff lasts forever and gives an amazing clean and smooth smoke - Don't fill your bowl up like normal shisha unless you are planning on staying there all day - Great A+ and great for mixing flavors - This and Tea leafs are my favorite non tabacoo, non nicotine alternatives
Smokes more than 4 hours - Best taste ever - Didn't burn my throat or give me a headace
The clouds aren't super thick, they're pretty nice, but the great thing about this stuff is the flavor! It's super nice, comparable to eating a sucker f what ever flavor you ended up choosing, It also mixes reasonably well -
I just got my Beamer Hookah Gels yesterday and they are amazing - They taste great and create great clouds! I definitely recommend this product - I will for sure be getting this again!
These are hands down the best thing to smoke - Odds are I will be smoking these over tobacco from now on - They give off amazing clouds, taste fantastic, and they allow for super long sessions - If you love hookah then you will love Ice Drops - 10/10
Although I am a smoker and enjoy my nicotine, it is really nice to be able to introduce tobacco-free and nicotine-free products to friends who do not smoke regular shisha or cigarettes - As someone who smokes different brands, I can honestly say Ice Drops is my favorite, even being nicotine-free - The taste is great and the clouds are HUGE - Blue Mo Fo & Cherry are my absolute favorites -
Outstanding product - My new favorite when it comes to tobacco-free shisha - It allows much better airflow than the vapor stones, and gives a very consistent smoke from start to finish - It behaves similarly to shisha, but is more forgiving with heat errors/issues - In short, 5/5 stars for this product - As soon as it's available in 250g and 1kg sizes, I'll be buying more -
I really like this product - It has tons of flavor and it smokes for a really long time!Def recommend this best shisha i ever tried!
Just tried a sampler sent to our hookah group and i honestly give it 2 thumbs down - - - - tried smoking out of Mod, Egyptian, Phunnel and vortex bowls and also tried with instalights and also bamboo coals and i got small whiffs of smoke and the leftover is absolutely NASTY you get left with the equivalent of melted gummie bears all stuck to the insides of your hookah - - - took us like 2 hrs of cleaning to get it all out - - - GREAT smell but otherwise use it as incense - - - -
I really love this product! First off let me say Ice Drops Hookah Gel is AMAZING! Ice Drops is a Hit in my local area - The pros - Huge CLOUDS, smoothest cleanest flavor I ever had for hookah, Does NOT burn or bother your throat, good price and variety of flavors! Cons - Cannot find the bigger sizes overall I def would recommend this to anyone - score 10/10
This stuff is worth it taste Great smells great smokes great - i suggest picking up a few try them out - will be buying again
I love these Ice Drops - They look like jello, and smell amazing - Loaded them into my vortex bowl and they smoke amazingly as well - The bowl I'm currently smoking has lasted about an hour and 45 minutes and is still going strong - Highly recommended!

The main problem plaguing Indian literature is that it is losing sight of its quintessential purpose of depicting the country's reality, observes Indian- born British writer and scriptwriter Farrukh Dhondy.
Speaking at the 5 thKovalam Literary Festival, the acclaimed author and playwright says, "The greatest task for Indian novels is to assess if it describes reality and explains who we really are."
Dhondy, who had penned the Aamir Khan-starrer Mangal Pandey, says writing had evolved in the western countries where the 17 thcentury was about the writings of Bible, the 18 thwas about writers like Jane Austen broke away from religious sentiments and wrote about the people around them and the 19 thwas when Russian literature started talking about the attraction of flesh and the heart.
"The parallel to these in India is our nationalist movement. We never had books or culture that helped the introspection," he says, adding that the Bollywood movies were the cultural phenomenon post 1948 that tried to address this issue.
"The Rajkumar and Nargis movies back then attempted to define who we are and they drew from the Ramayana and Mahabharatha," Dhondy says.
However, even movies aren't truly capturing the essence, he says. "A lot art films are trying to depict reality on behalf of others. For instance, you have a rich person coming to the aid of ailing. This sort of 'behalfist' movies blurs the lines of reality. Indian novels should break away from Bollywood and this is the biggest challenge right now," he explains.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I really don't review movies very often on here, but I liked this one enough to make an exception. I really enjoy what you have so far of this series. The lips were ever so slightly off sync, but don't worry, the great art and style more than made up for it. Also, I really liked the voice overs, and thought that they matched up perfectly with the characters.
Keep up the good work, and I'll keep giving you fives!

Boo ya
This is more movie-like than most other animations i've seen. VERY well done. Good story line... and very chilling.

The voice of the guy in the top hat with the mustache was really good. The voice of that blonde hair guy sounds so emotionless, even a little robotic. Again, story, graphics, excellent.

Shape.DrawQuarterArc Method (Visio)
Creates a new shape whose path consists of an elliptical arc defined by the two points and the flag passed in as arguments.
expression .DrawQuarterArc(xBegin, yBegin, xEnd, yEnd, SweepFlag)
expression A variable that represents a Shape object.
Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
xBegin | Required | Double | The x-coordinate of the begin point of the arc. |
yBegin | Required | Double | The y-coordinate of the begin point of the arc. |
xEnd | Required | Double | The x-coordinate of the endpoint of the arc. |
yEnd | Required | Double | The y-coordinate of the endpoint of the arc. |
SweepFlag | Required | VisArcSweepFlags | The type of arc, concave or convex. |
Return Value
The begin and endpoints define the bounding rectangle of the arc, and the SweepFlag argument determines which of the two possible arcs within the bounding rectangle is drawn. The bounding rectangle is always aligned to the page coordinate system; that is, the x-axis of the ellipse is parallel to the x-axis of the page.
The following possible values for the SweepFlag argument are declared in VisArcSweepFlags in the Visio type library.
Constant | Value | Description |
visArcSweepFlagConcave | 0 | Concave arc |
visArcSweepFlagConvex | 1 | Convex arc |
If SweepFlag is visArcSweepFlagConcave, the line joining the center of the ellipse to the arc sweeps through decreasing angles; if it is visArcSweepFlagConvex, it sweeps through increasing angles.

Father John Harvey: Source of Same-Sex Attractions in Children: Parenting and Social Influences
Father John Harvey Distinguishes the Difference
NEW YORK, JAN. 24, 2004 (Zenit) - Most children who experiment with same-sex attractions as young adults are already predisposed to homosexual behavior because of their home environment, says a pastoral specialist.
Father John Harvey, an Oblate of St. Francis de Sales, is founder of Courage, a Catholic apostolate for adults with same-sex attractions, and is co-editor of "Same-Sex Attraction: A Parent's Guide" (Ignatius).
He shared how parents can educate themselves about same-sex attractions and how they can teach their children about healthy human sexuality. His last interview appeared Nov. 16.
Q: You've mentioned that familial or parental situations may contribute to same-sex attractions. Is there a difference between children in these situations and youth who choose to experiment with homosexuality because of social influences?
Father Harvey: There's a significant difference between a child with same-sex attractions due to family environments rather than due to experimentation.
The difference is the youth choosing to experiment is comparatively rare, even though it seems to become "cool" at a high school and college level. Generally speaking, there's a high probability that those who are experimenting already had same-sex attractions and are expressing them in the college period.
It is not common for someone who thinks he or she is heterosexual and who is from a healthy family to move into experimentation. A trauma, such as a teen-age girl or boy being raped, may lead him or her to have same-sex attractions rather than opposite-sex attractions.
Sometimes there's a teen-age period when those who don't feel attracted to the opposite sex try a relationship with the opposite sex, and it doesn't work out. They also find out having sex with someone of the opposite sex is not a cure for same-sex attractions.
Some social influences that lead to youth engaging in homosexual behavior can be traced back to high school. Many felt alone because they had same-sex attractions and weren't fitting in well in the group. In college, they fell into a group of people with same-sex attractions, looking to each other for companionship. At this point, experimentation may happen among people who are already predisposed.
The more we study, the more we see the influence at home is early, in grade school, and even earlier.
But it's important to remember that teen-agers who think they have same-sex attractions aren't set for life. They say they're "gay," but they may not be.
When teens say they feel uncomfortable around peers of the same sex and are attracted to them, often they've also had difficulty relating to and identifying emotionally and psychologically with their same-sex parent -- it's just that the realization of this strained relationship doesn't happen until much later.
It must be noted that same-sex attractions can also be generated by the child's relationship with the parent of the opposite sex.
In my years of counseling women with same-sex attractions, I have met a number of women who believe that their same-sex attractions were mainly due to their relationship with their father. Both parents have a great influence on the child's sense of self-worth and gender identity. There can also be other traumatic experiences outside the family that contribute toward the development of same-sex attractions.
Although most cases of same-sex attractions begin in childhood, the teen-age period becomes critical -- either the teen is drawn toward acting out homosexually, or the teen gets help and learns to live a chaste lifestyle.
The teen may also be able to gradually work toward overcoming or at least minimizing homosexual attractions with the help of a good therapist and spiritual director.
Q: What can be done for children who have stable home lives but who are experimenting with homosexuality due to social influences?
Father Harvey: If the parents know that their child has experimented with homosexual acts, the child must be commanded to seek therapy from reliable Catholic doctors.
If it is a stable home life in the full sense, where the child has a good relationship with both parents, then the parents simply need to continue to develop a healthy home environment while being mindful of external influence on the family, especially on the child.
These "external influences" may surface in adolescence and early college years when young people are found in a scholastic environment where it is considered "cool" to be homosexual or bisexual. If the individual already has some degree of same-sex attractions, he may slip into homosexual acts and thus be seduced into a homosexual way of living.
A healthy ...

Sandia researchers have developed a process that can mix tiny volumes of liquid, even in complicated spaces.
Researchers have unearthed a magnetic force similar to electricity: magnetic charges that act and interrelate like electrical charges.

Thanks all. Glad you liked the article. I had a blast getting my hands on the game, definitely still some work to be done on it, but even in its current state it was fun. Really nice to see something new breaking into the MMO genre. If anyone has any questions about anything specific, I'll see what I can do about answering it, but no promises. :) |

Garden Bouquet Shawl
Garden Bouquet Shawl is inspired by the elegant floral details in fashion prominent in the first several decades of the twentieth century. I wanted the shawl to look classic, clean but detailed; black and white make this a formal day piece. The shawl is a half circle and depicts elegant popular period English garden plants such as roses and trailing clematis scattered around the lace. I used modified Frost Flowers stitches so that the lace would be worked every other row and Wave and Scallop stitches not only for the edging but also to illustrate the flower buds and the garden grounds.

Women more likely to click 'unfriend' on social networks than men
WASHINGTON — Women are more likely than men to delete friends from their online social networks and tend to choose more restrictive privacy settings, according to a study published on Friday.
The study by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project also found that men were nearly twice as likely as women to have posted content online that they later regret.
Sixty-three percent of social network users have deleted people from their friend lists, according to the study, up from 56 percent in 2009.
Sixty-seven percent of women who maintain a social networking profile said they have deleted friends compared with 58 percent of men.
When it comes to privacy, 58 percent of social network users set their profile to private so that only friends can see it.
Nineteen percent allow friends of friends to view their profile and 20 percent keep their profile public.
Women are significantly more likely than men — by a 67 percent to 48 percent margin — to set their profile to private, the study said.
As for the ease of using privacy controls, those surveyed were evenly divided.
Forty-eight percent said they have some difficulty with privacy controls while 49 percent said they did not experience any difficulty.
The study found that men are nearly twice as likely as women to have posted updates, comments, photos or videos that they later regret.
Eleven percent of social network users say they have posted content they regret with 15 percent of men saying they have done so and just eight percent of women.
Ninety-three percent of social network users surveyed said they have a profile on Facebook, up from 73 percent in 2009.
The popularity of rival Myspace continues to wane, the study found. Twenty-three percent of social network users said they have a Myspace profile, down from 48 percent in 2009.
While just six percent of social network users said they had a presence on Twitter in 2009, 11 percent are now using the short-messaging service.
The survey of 2,277 adults was conducted in April and May of last year and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

Gabions were developed as an inexpensive retaining wall system using 3" x 3" welded wire cages that can be filled with any sort of rock or inorganic material such as brick, block or concrete debris.
These cages are 18 inches wide x three feet tall x six feet long. This entire wall is 48 feet long and took four men a day and a half to grade, compact, layout, assemble and fill with a small loader. It's located at the Tuck Shop Restaurant at 12th Street and Oak in Phoenix.
This six foot tall x eight inch wide rock fence replaced a chain link property line fence. Its support posts are set in concrete and are designed to be almost entirely hidden when the rock is loaded into the welded wire fabric panels.
The fabric wire is about as thick as a pencil and has internal hooks that hold the panels to exactly eight inches apart. The temporary wood braces insure the whole fabric assembly doesn't move out of plumb while it's being filled.
The cost of this fence varies widely based on what kind of rock is chosen (river rock is the least expensive) and whether or not a skid steer loader has access to work from one or both sides.
The City of Phoenix requires engineering and a building permit for six foot tall masonry fences. This one has no footing between the internal steel posts.
This fence contains the concrete and cinder block debris left after tearing out an old patio. Block that hasn't been grouted breaks up easily with an ordinary hammer.
Concrete, especially if it's over four inches thick, is tougher. We used a pneumatic jack hammer to break it up into pieces that could be placed between the welded wire panels.
This fence design is eight feet tall x eight inches wide. Cross-tie-bars insure it will stay straight and plumb regardless of what you put in it.
Cost for six foot tall versions with (for instance) cmu debris is about $25/s.f. with good equipment access.
These Versa-Lok masonry units are 12 inches wide and laid on a compacted aggregate leveling base. No concrete foundation is required.
Each block weights 80 lbs and is pinned with nylon dowels and dry stacked without mortar. Only the cap blocks are glued down.
The I.B.C. (International Building Code) requires a guard rail if the falling hazard exceeds 30 inches.
Gravity walls are a little less expensive than 8 inch CMU retaining walls without stucco, paint or damp-proofing.

Surprisingly, there are still very few electronic cigarette companies primarily for women. We were one of the first websites to review Vapor Couture – V2's sister e-cig company just for women. While Vapor Couture caters to women very well by emulating high fashion icons such as Louis Vuitton and Coach, it may not fit every woman's desires. Enter Vaping Vamps. Vaping Vamps electronic cigarettes are for the everyday woman. They are subtle yet elegant. Rather than flashiness, Vaping Vamps focuses on two (in my opinion) far more important areas – function and flavor.
Vaping Vamps developed its product line with a lot of care and planning. They held many female focus groups to determine the ecig model and flavors that most women would prefer. The end product was an all-black 510 style e-cig and five delicious flavors.
The main starter kit sold by Vaping Vamps is the Deluxe Kit. It comes with two rechargeable batteries, five cartomizers, one USB charger, one wall charger and a manual. This is all packaged and presented in a very nice black and purple gift box. As mentioned earlier, the Vaping Vamps e-cig is based on the classic 510 model which is well known for high vapor production and a warmer, stronger throat hit. It also brings out flavors that may not be as noticeable in smaller e-cigs. Unfortunately the battery life is subpar so be sure to always have one battery on the charger.
A common question among first-time e-cig buyers is "Which nicotine level should I choose?" While we often give suggestions based on our readers' smoking habits, there really isn't an easy answer for this. Vaping Vamps is the first company we've found that really addresses this problem. They offer a version of their starter kit, called the Tri-Level Starter Kit, which includes two high, two medium and one low nicotine strength cartomizers.
For under $35, you can purchase Vaping Vamps' Try Me Kit which includes one battery, two cartomizers and a USB charger. It is a nice introduction to ecigs or the perfect kit for the very occasional smoker.
Additionally, for women who want the feel of a cigarette without any nicotine, Vaping Vamps offers the Vampstick. We're a little confused by this model as both the Deluxe and Try Me Kits already have the option of zero nicotine. This leads us to our biggest gripe with Vaping Vamps.
Review continues after kit comparison table...
Vaping Vamps' website is a nightmare to navigate. It took me almost five minutes to finally find the page for the normal Try Me Kit. There is no clear direction or easy way to find or compare each starter kit. We also noticed some broken images and buttons while surfing the site. The whole experience left me more confused than everything.
Luckily their flavors earn some points back. The work and research put into the flavors of their cartomizers shows. While none of the options blew my socks off, I could happily puff away on any of them for days. Each flavor has an appealing organic taste with my favorite being Caramella. The other four flavors are Caroline (tobacco), Mint Julie, Tia Berry and Mango Lola.
Vaping Vamps is a powerful little e-cig with some nice flavor options. Battery life suffers but the result is a more intense vaping experience. With a re"Vamp" of their website and starter kit options, Vaping Vamps could give Vapor Couture a run for their money.

Rexall Sundown Naturals, Prenatal, Vitamin & Mineral Formula, 100 Tablets
By Rexall Sundown Naturals
5 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Sep 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.41 lbs (0.19 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Fabrication of high-power VCSEL with radial bridge electrodes
Chinese Optics Letters, Vol. 7, Issue 8, pp. 709-711 (2009)
Acrobat PDF (1014 KB)
We report the fabrication of a novel high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with radial bridge electrodes in this letter. The analysis shows that the radial bridge electrodes can reduce the p-type distributed Bragg reflector (p-DBR) electric and thermal resistance, and improve the device beam quality. The high-power radial brigde electrode VCSELs with 200-\mum aperture have been made and tested. The testing results show that the differential resistance of the VCSEL is 0.43 \Omega and the maximal continuous-wave (CW) output power is 340 mW, 1.7 times higher than the conventional electrode device. Its thermal resistance is 0.095 \Degress/mW, and its near-field pattern exhibits a homogeneous distribution. The high-power radial bridge electrode VCSEL has better temperature and opto-electric characteristics.
