Nationwide buildings and contents insurance is underwritten and administered by U K Insurance Limited, so they will be looking after your claim for you.
Before making a claim, check the cover that you have taken with Nationwide. Your policy schedule will show whether you have chosen Buildings cover, Contents cover or both.
Buildings insurance covers the fabric of your home such as its walls, floors, doors and roof. It also covers fixtures and fittings such as fitted kitchens and bathroom suites. Your buildings insurance policy will help you repair or rebuild your home following any insured damage.
Contents insurance covers your household items that are not part of the building. This includes your furniture and furnishings, other household goods and your personal belongings such as clothes and jewellery. There are some items that are excluded, for example motor vehicles and accessories, so check your policy document to be sure. Your contents insurance policy will help you replace or repair your lost or damaged belongings following any insured incident.
If you have only taken out buildings cover and your claim relates to contents you should redirect your claim to your contents insurer. Similarly, if you have only taken out contents cover and your claim relates to buildings you should redirect your claim to your buildings insurer.
Your excess is shown on your policy documents. This is the part of any claim that you have to pay. For example, you may have to pay the first £100 and then the insurer will pay the remaining amount up to the limit of your cover.
Your Contents Insurance schedule will confirm whether you have chosen this cover and what limit (s) apply.
"Personal Possessions" covers the personal items that you normally carry with you away from home, for example clothing, jewellery, bicycle, camera equipment and mobile phones. Cover is for an unlimited duration within the British Isles and is for up to 60 days while temporarily outside the British Isles in any one period of insurance and while your personal items are in your custody and control.
Exclusions apply which can be found in your policy booklet
Yes - your contents insurance policy gives "New for Old" cover. This means that if repair is not possible all items will be replaced with the new equivalent. For example, if you have damaged a 5-year-old television, we will replace it with the latest available equivalent model.
Wear and tear is not applicable to clothing if you have an Essentials policy.
Check your policy schedule and booklet to confirm whether this cover applies.
Home Emergency insurance - what's covered?
Separate from our Buildings and Contents Home Insurance products, Home Emergency Cover provides 24 hour assistance if a home emergency occurs and you need a tradesman to make your home safe,
secure and prevent further damage. This cover will help with problems such as
Cover is up to £500 (incl. VAT) in total for call out charges, labour, parts and materials.
You should report an incident as soon as is reasonably possible (normally within 48 hours of the emergency happening). This is not a maintenance contract and cover is provided for emergencies to the home only.
For more information about the limits and exclusions, please read the policy documents.
What is not covered?
To contact the 24-hour Home Emergency Helpline call: 0800 464 30 25.
For more information about what's covered please read the full policy document and the policy summary document.
You are insured for "Accidental Damage" to your Buildings and/or Contents if you have bought our Home Insurance or if you have chosen to take this additional cover with our Home Essentials. Your policy schedule will show if you are covered for Accidental Damage
"Accidental Damage" means something that has happened suddenly and unexpectedly causing damage to your home or its contents. If you experience this type of damage, let us know as soon as possible.
For spillages, particularly of paint, mop up the liquid but don't try and clean any staining. Using the wrong equipment or technique may cause more or worse damage. We have access to specialist contractors who may be able to clean up as part of your claim.

If you have purchased or renewed a policy bought prior to the 24th November 2013, please refer to your policy document.
We might ask you to confirm:
You may not know the answers to all these questions straight away, but don't worry, these can be answered later.
We can deal with your query much faster if you have the following details available your:
It is helpful if you keep receipts, guarantees, instruction manuals, valuations or photographs for your most valuable items in a safe place as these may help to support your claim. By valuable items, we mean jewellery, watches, paintings, collectors' items and any items/sets of gold or silver.
You may be asked to provide estimates or invoices for claims involving repair or replacement of items.
If the claim involves a building repair, normally two estimates are requested for comparison purposes.
If the incident involves theft or criminal damage, or if any property has been lost outside of the home, you should inform the police immediately and make a note of the police incident number.
We have national panels of approved specialists and suppliers who we may appoint to inspect damage and repair or replace goods on your insurer's behalf. Full details of the specialist or supplier and the next steps will be discussed with you when you call.
Finding that somebody has broken into your home is a devastating experience.
A fire can have a traumatic effect on you and your home. Your Buildings and Contents insurance can help reduce the stress after the event during any rebuilding of your home and the repair or replacement of its damaged contents.
Points to remember:
Flooding can have a serious effect on both your buildings and contents. As well as causing damage, it can also result in significant risk to health. Bearing that in mind, here are some points to consider:
Before entering a flood-damaged building:
Once you enter a flood-damaged building:
What to do when you have a frozen pipe emergency (if pipe is frozen but not burst).
A frozen pipe needs urgent attention as this may burst when it thaws. The following steps should be taken as soon as you discover a frozen pipe:
1. Turn off the water supply
2. Beat the burst
3. Thawing out
What to do when you have a burst pipe emergency.
A burst pipe can cause serious damage to your home's structure and electrical wiring. The following steps describe what you should do as soon as you discover a burst pipe.
Act immediately – the sooner you can stop the water, this will reduce the risk of further extensive damage.
2. Turn off water heating systems
3. Turn off the electrics
4. Call a professional to repair the damage
A burst pipe can lead to extensive damage to your home and its contents. The pipe itself can prove difficult to locate and fix, resulting in additional damage just to trace the leak. Preventing pipes freezing can avoid all of the disruption and inconvenience caused by a leak, so try following these tips:
Nationwide offers a choice of two household insurance policies, Home Insurance and Home Insurance Essentials.
The information provided below applies to both Home Insurance and Home Insurance Essentials, unless stated otherwise.
You should answer to the best of your knowledge. If you have a mortgage you would have supplied this to your mortgage provider who will have it on record.
No a surveyors report is not required, however this is the most you will be paid for a claim and must represent the full rebuilding cost of your buildings in the same form, style and condition as new. If the sum insured is too low, your claim settlement can be reduced by the same percentage that your sum insured is inadequate.
You need to tell us how many rooms were designed to be used as bedrooms.
You need to think about insuring the structure of your home, which we call "buildings" insurance as well as what's in your home, which we call home "contents" insurance.
For buildings insurance, you should insure your home for its full re-building cost, i.e. how much it would cost to rebuild your home if it was totally destroyed. This is different to the market value of your home.
You can find your home's rebuilding cost on the Valuation Report or Survey report which was completed when you took out your mortgage (although, if it is more than a couple of years old, it might need to be increased to take account of inflation).
For contents insurance, you should insure the contents of your home for the amount it would cost you to replace them as new today.
Yes, you can add our optional Home Emergency cover for an additional premium to cover you for emergencies such as your boiler breaking down, your electrics failing or your water pipes bursting.
You can select this when deciding which other optional extras you wish to purchase online or when you call.
Flood Re is a new scheme developed by the insurance industry and the Government to make flood cover more affordable for households at the highest risk of flooding. As a result of Flood Re, there should be far more home insurance options available to those at the highest risk of flooding, and prices should be more competitive.
Find out more
Your property has been identified as being at high risk of flooding and has therefore been included in the Flood Re scheme which includes a £250 compulsory flood excess.
When an insured peril such as theft occurs at home and music has been stolen on a computer, a claim would be honoured for the replacement music if the music provider can confirm purchase up to a limit of £3,000 if you bought our Home Insurance cover. The cover limit is £1,000 if you bought Home Essentials cover.
However, the accidental loss of music as a result of mechanical failure to an MP3 player or any other device would not be covered, and presumably customers can download the lost music again from their computer.
The 10% cover will automatically apply and covers the person or persons named as the policy holder in the schedule, plus their husband or wife, partner, civil partner, children (including those adopted and foster children) and relatives, provided each of these normally live with them. It does not cover paying guests or any other person to whom your home is lent, let or sub-let.
No your policy only covers lost or stolen keys that relate to external doors, windows and alarm systems fitted to your home.
Yes, the valuables cover can be increased but not decreased.
Yes, this would be a personal item that you normally carry about with you. However, you would not be covered if the item was for business use. Further limits and exclusions apply to Personal Possesions cover, please see the policy booklet for details.
Yes, this would be a personal item that you normally carry about with you. The cost of phone calls made after a phone is lost or stolen however would not be covered. Further limits and exclusions apply to Personal Possessions cover, please see the policy booklet for details.
The minimum cover for contents is £100,000 for our Home Insurance cover and £50,000 for Home Insurance Essentials. For both products, cover is provided in multiples of £100.
This is where there is normally at least one person in the property for the majority of the time between 8am and 6pm 5 days a week or more. It is accepted that you will go out shopping, taking children to school and go on holiday for example.
The contents calculator will help you estimate the contents cover you will need. However this only provides a rough guide and it is up to you to make sure that it is adequate to cover all of your contents.
Yes, you can still take out Home contents which will provide cover for your personal possessions and valuables and any items of furniture that you have provided yourself, e.g. a television. However, if you are part of a shared tenancy agreement with other tenants, then we are unable to provide cover for you.
Mortice locks are available with a 2, 3, 5 or 7 lever mechanism. The higher the number of "levers" the more difficult the lock is to "pick".
If you are unsure you must answer 'NO' until you have had the opportunity to check your locks or contact a locksmith.
You can answer 'YES' to 'are all external doors fitted with 5-lever mortice locks?' if all external doors meet at least one of the following criteria:
Yes, if you take out the Nationwide Home Insurance policy, your personal possessions will be covered for loss or damage anywhere in the world. Limits and exclusions apply, please see the policy booklet for details.
Personal Possessions cover will cover your possessions when you are away from home in the UK and for 60 days abroad in any one period of insurance.
The Nationwide Home Insurance Essentials policy does not include Personal Possessions cover outside of the home as standard but can be added as an optional extra.
You only need to tell us about the individual value of your contents if they are "valuables" worth more than £2,000. We call "valuables" items of gold, silver or other precious metals, works of art, collections of stamps, coins or medals, jewellery and watches belonging to you.
We automatically cover valuables up to £4,000 for each item on the Nationwide Home Insurance policy and £2,000 for each item on the Nationwide Home Insurance Essentials policy. Your total valuables should not exceed 30% of your contents sum insured in total. If you have valuables which exceed the 30% limit, please call us for a quote on 0800 051 02 38.
If you have selected Nationwide Home Insurance policy and a bicycle is stolen from your home, it will be covered under standard Contents Insurance. If your bicycle is stolen from your garage or outbuilding it will be automatically covered under standard Contents Insurance up to £5,000. If an unspecified bicycle is stolen while away from your home, it will be automatically covered up to a limit of £1,000 per bicycle. If you have a bicycle valued at over £1,000 you should specify it on your policy up to a limit of £3,000 per bicycle and £6,000 for multiple bicycles.
If you have selected a Nationwide Home Insurance Essentials policy and a bicycle is stolen from your home, it will be covered under standard Contents Insurance. If your bicycle is stolen from your garage or outbuilding it will be automatically covered under standard Contents Insurance up to £2,500. If you have added the optional Personal Possessions cover, unspecified bicycles will be covered up to £500 per bicycle if stolen while away from your home. If you have a bicycle valued at over £500 you should specify it on your policy up to a limit of £3,000 per bicycle and £6,000 for multiple bicycles.
Yes, if it is for personal use only, it will be covered while in the home. If it is a portable PC again used for personal use only and you require cover outside the home, you will need to take out our personal possessions option if you purchase our Home Insurance Essential policy. This is included within our Home Insurance policy.
Personal computers used for business use are also covered under our policies. The business equipment limit on the Nationwide Home Insurance policy is £10,000 and on the Nationwide Home Insurance Essentials policy £3,000.
One of the conditions of the contents insurance you can take out over the internet is that the property is occupied solely by the policyholder(s). However, if you have up to two lodgers, we can probably offer you cover if you call us for a quote on 0800 051 02 38.
We cannot offer cover if you share your home with more than two lodgers or if you let your home.
No, you are only covered if a home emergency occurs and you need a tradesman to make your home safe, secure and to prevent further damage. The type of emergency covered includes damage to the roof, plumbing and drainage, home
security, main heating system and domestic power supply failure.
A sudden unforeseen event which requires immediate corrective action to prevent damage or further damage to your home, to make your home safe and secure and to alleviate any unreasonable discomfort, risk or difficulty to any insured
If your shower has a constant leak then we would arrange for an engineer to isolate the leak to prevent any further damage. If the shower is the only washing facility in your home we would arrange for a repair to be carried out. We
would decline the claim if the shower only leaks when being used and you have another washing facility i.e. a bath.
Home Emergency is only available for owner occupiers. If you are anything other than an owner occupier then the Home Emergency option will not be available.
No there is no limit to the number of emergency calls outs where each incident is unconnected. However the most we will pay for any one insured incident in total is £500 (including Value Added Tax) as shown in your schedule, for call out charges, labour costs, parts and materials to provide help with an insured emergency.
Wasps are classed as vermin but removal of them must be from the main property and be as a result of the sudden infestation which prevents the use of the loft or one or more rooms in the home,
removal will not be made from an outbuilding. The removal and/or control of bee's nests is not covered.
You do not pay an excess for Home Emergency it just covers up to £500.
Please have your policy number available and call: 0800 464 3025.
Use this for urgent assistance with emergencies in your home such as a burst pipe or damage to your roof.

If you have an existing policy, you'll need to consider which policy is better for you, before deciding to add this additional cover. Please read the full policy documentation to help you make your
Yes you can.
Yes – Section 5 – Home Emergency special conditions states:- You must maintain your home and all domestic equipment in good condition, and carry out or arrange for regular inspections and preventative maintenance to the fabric and structure.
Alarms being set off and fixed due to power failure would not be classed as an insured incident as they are not considered to be an emergency, therefore not covered under the Home Emergency cover.
If you have another toilet in the property we would only isolate the leak, however if the toilet is blocked we would appoint a contractor to unblock the pipe or drain.
No, if you still have hot water and heating then it will be a general maintenance issue which is excluded from the cover.
When your boiler is not working at all and you have no hot water or heating.
Generally, we would carry out either a temporary repair or permanent repair where possible. For example, if you had a leak coming through your roof, the contractor will normally cover the exposed area in tarpaulin but will not repair or replace the missing roof tiles on the roof.
If there was a break in at your home and a window was smashed leaving your home unsafe, we will arrange for a contractor to board the window up to make the home secure. Full repairs will not be covered and should be referred to the insurers of the building.

Yes, we may be able to help you defend your legal rights if you are summoned in connection with the use of your motor vehicle.

This is simply down to the rounding of the annual premium when divided by 12 months. For example if a policy has an annual premium of £200, then this equates to £16.666666 and this needs to be converted into a whole number. For the first month £16.74 will be paid followed by £16.66 for 11 months. (£16.66 x 11 months = £183.26 + the first payment of £16.74 = £200 which is the annual premium).

About a year ago, Zhong Lin Wang of Georgia Tech in the US discovered that, when he disturbed zinc oxide nanowires, they gave off a tiny electrical current, a phenomenon called piezoelectricity. At the time, he had to use the tip of an atomic force microscope – a $250,000 instrument – to create about one-billionth of a watt of power.
Wang has improved his design at least a thousand-fold. Using gold nanoparticle as seeds, he grew a small forest of 1-micron-high zinc oxide wires on a conductive substrate 2 millimetres square.
Then he placed a saw-toothed electrode on top, which is designed to make contact with as many nanowires as possible. Finally, by rattling the whole thing with ultrasound, he found that he could generate a few microwatts of electricity. The movement of the top electrode disturbs the nanowires, providing a potential power source for anything that moves.
The generator suffers from a few key limitations, however. First, growing uniform nanowires is difficult – they are usually of slightly different height or diameter. As a result, in a generator containing many thousands of nanowires, only a few hundred or so successfully generate electricity when shaken, as they do not all make contact with the electrode.
So there is another tenfold or better improvement to be gained by getting all of the nanowires to make contact. Being able to pack the nanowires more efficiently could also increase the power generation.
Wang says: "I have full confidence that within three years we will have something that is useful commercially."

Borderless fullscreen windowed is the display option of having a game run in a window but appear to be running in fullscreen. Also known as borderless windowed fullscreen, maximized windowed fullscreen, or fake fullscreen. On PCGamingWiki we will refer to this feature as borderless fullscreen windowed.
Borderless fullscreen windowed is a feature well supported by certain developers, including Valve whose modern Source engine supports the -noborder -windowed launch option. Similarly, Blizzard have included this option in their games since World of Warcraft, where the feature is known as Fullscreen (Windowed). However, most other game developers have neglected to add this feature into their games. Fortunately, borderless fullscreen windowed can be hacked into almost any game using a combination of Windows utilities.
-noborder -windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed mode appears just like a fullscreen game, and usually has fewer issues with alt+tabbing and multitasking.
This utility was originally developed by grismar for the EVE Online community. ShiftWindow sets the size and position of any windowed game so that the borders are forced off the screen, giving the appearance of a fullscreen window.
A step by step guide to making any game run in borderless fullscreen windowed is available on Shiny Hacks.
This method uses AutoHotKey and a script to set the game window size and position, and strips out the native Windows border style.
briankb's script appears to be the earliest implementation of this method from February 2011.
This script will full screen the currently active window onto your primary monitor with the F12 key
WinGet, WindowID, ID, A
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, ahk_id %WindowID%
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight
More complicated script which will toggle between full screen and windowed modes
WinGet, TempWindowID, ID, A
If (WindowID != TempWindowID)
If (WindowState != 1)
WinGetPos, WinPosX, WinPosY, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, ahk_id %WindowID%
WinSet, Style, ^0xC40000, ahk_id %WindowID%
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight
WinSet, Style, ^0xC40000, ahk_id %WindowID%
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , WinPosX, WinPosY, WindowWidth, WindowHeight
The script can be altered to have the window appear anywhere instead of on your primary monitor. The key is this line:
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight
0, 0 are the coordinates of the upper left corner of the window. You can change these to the coordinates of the upper left corner of another monitor. When multiple monitors are present Windows concatenates them all into one virtual desktop. For example, if both of your monitors are 1600x1200 and they are arranged side by side, your virtual desktop is 3200x1200. In this case to have the window appear on your right (secondary) monitor you'd have to change the code to this:
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 1600, 0, 1600, 1200
Note that the screen size should be entered manually instead of A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight in case your monitors have different resolutions. If you're not sure what the coordinates of the upper left of your screen are, Windows 7 Screen Resolution control panel will tell you when dragging the displays around.
To make this into an AutoHotkey script file:
BUDA20 developed this utility which, amongst other features, allows games to be run in 'FF mode' or 'Fake fullscreen' mode, which is the same as borderless fullscreen windowed. The program is downloaded as a .7z archive, which can be extracted to a folder and does not require installation. It defaults to starting with Windows.
To enable 'FF mode':
Control + Enter
GameCompanion.ini can be edited by adding the .exe of games (case-sensitive). By default, the file looks like this:
F.E.A.R. 3.exe
Appears to keep the Fallout: New Vegas game process running in the background even if the game has been closed. The game can be shut down properly by going into the task manager to kill the task FalloutNV.exe.
Created by TeHypno in Autohotkey_L, this program offers a simple interface that can enable a borderless window state automatically, or by toggling a hotkey.
These utilities can be used to force windowed mode in games that do not usually support it:

Melbourne, Nov 2 (ANI): Hamstring soreness has forced Ricky Ponting to withdraw from the Sheffield Shield game against South Australia.
Cricket Australia (CA) asked Ponting to sit out as a precautionary move to ensure he has the best possible preparation for the first Test against South Africa.
CA Executive General Manager Team Performance Pat Howard said: "This is a precautionary move to ensure Ricky has the best possible preparation for the first Vodafone Test against South Africa in Brisbane next week.
"We've opted to withdraw Ricky from the game. If this wasn't a week out from the first Vodafone Test then Ricky would continue with the match, but we don't want to take that risk. We expect Ricky to be fit for the first Vodafone Test against South Africa."
CA has permitted Steve Cazzulino to replace Ponting in the match. (ANI)

Did he do it?
That is the question Homeland has left us with at the end of its revolutionary and controversial second season, the question its writers hope will fuel countless debates that will carry us until next fall. On the one hand, we have Nicholas Brody's word to Carrie that he had nothing to do with the car bombing that killed over 200 souls at C.I.A. headquarters, including David Estes and the rest of Vice President Walden's family. On the other hand, we have the fact that Brody's car was used for that bombing — and, more to the point, that practically every single thing we know about the man other than his love for Carrie screams "ARE YOU NUTS?! OF COURSE HE DID IT!"
Then again, this question may be moot. If you scroll down to the comments below, I guarantee there will be plenty of people who have declared themselves done with this show. I suspect for many it will be for two simple reasons: Carrie believed Brody, and Brody didn't die. I've made no secret of my own belief that the best path for Homeland was to do what they'd originally planned for the end of season 1, namely kill Nicholas Brody off, and let Carrie and Saul move on. You can read my argument here, but apparently, the folks at Homeland did not choose to heed my sage advice. Instead, they crafted one of its best directed and acted episodes ever, a masterwork of cinematic scale and deeply felt intimacy. As my colleague Ken Tucker has been contending of late, all of it was designed to make as strong a case as possible that Carrie and Brody's impossible love for each other is the true core of this show, and that letting their love die along with Brody would silence Homeland's beating heart.
They've almost convinced me. For one thing, I'm not nearly certain that Brody did it. And for another, I enjoyed Brody and Carrie's early scenes together so much, I finally understood why the writers feel so strongly that they need to keep Brody alive.
And yet, when Carrie and Brody finally parted ways in the woods along the Canadian border, a very big part of me still wanted Carrie to go all Buffy season 2 on Brody and kill the man she loved knowing he was maybe-possibly-could-be-well-nigh good again. (Of course, Homeland can't avail itself of a metaphysical hell dimension that spits out a naked Brody a few months later after 100 years worth of torment. It's not that implausible.)
At least, that's how I feel right now. It could be how you feel too. Let's work through the episode together, and see if we still feel the same way on the other side. Rather than split off each plot strand individually, though, I'm going to more-or-less take on the episode as we saw it, if for no other reason than its 65-minute runtime is already neatly apportioned into three discrete acts. Starting with…
NEXT: Who knew Brody could juggle?

THE future of mounted police in Britain could be decided by the results of an extensive research programme that has been carried out in Cirencester.
Teams of researchers have been in Cirencester looking at the effectiveness of officers on horseback after it was revealed that five mounted units across the country have been disbanded in the last two years.
Surveys were carried out in the town by officers on foot during February to discover what the public's perception of the local police force was.
This was then followed up in March by mounted police officers asking people in Cirencester the same set of questions.
Rod Hansen, Deputy Chief Constable of Gloucestershire Police, said it was important to understand the value of police on horseback.
"It does not feel right to lose such a historic and useful capability without fully understanding how sadly it would be missed," he said.
"We must ensure that the police service does not inadvertently find itself without a capability it relies upon due to the current financial implications."
Mounted units are often used as a show of force by police at large scale events such as football matches, political rallies and riots.
Nearly 80 per cent of people agreed that local police understand the issues that matter to local people, when asked by an officer on a horse.
However, when the same question was asked by officers on foot, only 69 per cent of people answered positively.
It was also found that 91 per cent of those who had seen mounted patrols agreed with the statement "the police are friendly and approachable", compared to 82 per cent that had not.
Oxford University's Dr Chris Giacomantonio, who is managing the project, said the initial findings are encouraging.
"Based on observational data, people are six times more likely to notice mounted police officers than foot patrols and the survey shows that seeing mounted police is consistently associated with higher levels of trust and confidence," he said.
A similar survey was also carried out in March by the Metropolitan Police in London.
The final results will be presented at an international mounted police conference in November.

I'm looking for a LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer (10030) in the bluish grey (bley) color, in new or like-new condition as long as it includes everything and is not damaged.
Each party pays their own shipping, but this will have to ship in at least 2 or 3 boxes (I haven't figured this part out yet). Maybe I will have a box each for the armor, helmet, and boots. I don't know.
This armor was worn about 5 times, and mostly sat in my closet, so it's in great shape! If anyone is interested I can take/post pictures.
The above is me, TK1691, as you can see in the file name. Don't believe me? search the nickname field for b4p:
It comes with:
1. Walkie-talkie transmitter installed in helmet
2. Walkie-talkie receiver which attaches to stormtrooper belt
3. Custom voice-activated switch, installed in helmet, that activates the outgoing walkie-talkie when you speak. This creates a static-burst effect, as well as makes your voice sound authentic from the speaker.
4. White shoes, size 11. I wear size 9, and they are big on me, but still get the job done (these shoes were hard as hell to find)
5. Custom-made snaps, to make certain pieces easier to put on
6. Nice, black batting gloves with snaps for the two hand armor pieces (this is awesome, trust me)
7. Homemade black turtle-neck cloth thing to make the suit look authentic when the helmet is off.
8. Black Stormtrooper prop gun with holster
9. Full body suit: Black, Promate brand, size Small for Men and Large for Women. If the body suit is too small, you can improvise with a black long-sleeve shirt and black sweat pants.
10. Customized thigh pieces so that you will be able to sit down while wearing the suit!
11. Extra stuff like snaps, velcro, and whatever else I can fit into the package.
height: Customized to fit someone at 5'9" or slightly shorter, but will also fit slightly taller. It fits a range of heights.
weight: I was about 155-160 when I wore this.
My older brother is a lot taller/bigger than me, and he fit into this suit. He couldn't get the thigh snaps to snap into place, but otherwise it fit fine!

Home Break-Ins Continue In North Columbus Neighborhood
Home break-ins and thefts have been reported by several residents around Summit Avenue, North High Street and East Hudson Street
Hannah Storm said she's holding her 2-year-old especially close these days at her Maynard Avenue home.
"I'm pretty strong but I'm actually afraid, genuinely afraid of being alone right now," said Foster."I thought this was a decent neighborhood, I still do think it's a decent neighborhood. It makes me angry because I've been very poor and moved myself up in life."
Earlier this week, someone busted into her house while she was away. Foster said they tried to put their hands through the window and open the lock.
He couldn't get in that way but eventually made his way through a screen in a window.
Foster said there are not a lot of electronics around her home, so the burglar left empty handed.
But in other parts of the neighborhood, burglars recently got away with electronics and jewelry.
"The stereo, he usually has it hooked up to that was kind of moved to the side," said victim Zel Henderson.
Someone came through Henderson's window and took about $1,000 in electronics.
He has a new security system to keep criminals out.
"You want to feel, obviously, protected and stuff when you're sleeping here and when you're at your house and hoping you don't have people, invasion of your privacy," he said.
It's still not clear if all these home break-ins could be connected.

(BOSTON) — Huntington Theatre Company continues its 2013-2014 Season with playwright-in-residence Melinda Lopez's latest play, the stirring new drama Becoming Cuba. Huntington Associate Producer M. Bevin O'Gara makes her Huntington directorial debut of the Huntington's playwright-in-residence's latest work. Performances of Becoming Cuba begin at the South End / Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA on March 28. Due to popular demand, the run has been extended to May 3, 2014.
"Since I arrived at the Huntington, people have asked when we would stage another new play by Melinda Lopez," says Artistic Director Peter DuBois. "Becoming Cuba is exuberant, passioante, and well worth the wait!"
"Becoming Cuba takes me back to my favorite theatrical territory — mining big stories rooted in a shared history of the US and Cuba," says Huntington Playwright-in-Residence Melinda Lopez. "I am thrilled to be returning to the Huntington, my artistic home, and I am especially excited to again work with the talented M. Bevin O'Gara. Bevin understands my sensibility and my humor, and I trust her to wring the most and the best from my work. We are a terrific team." O'Gara previously directed Lopez's Gary (Boston Playwrights' Theatre), a reading of Caroline in Jersey (Huntington's Breaking Ground Festival), and a workshop of Becoming Cuba (Huntington's 2012 Summer Workshop).
Becoming Cuba takes place in 1897 Cuba on the eve of the Spanish-American War. Spirited widow Adela, the daughter of a Spanish mother and a Cuban father, runs her late Spanish husband's pharmacy, indifferent to the mounting conflict around her. But when the rebellion comes home to Havana in the form of her half-brother Manny, a rebel fighter, she must choose between loyalty to country or to family. By turns funny, steamy, and political, this powerful new drama asks whether freedom is something we all want.
"I'm attracted to the questions of loyalty, sacrifice, and survival that Melinda asks in this play," says O'Gara, "but mostly I love the family that is at its heart. It is so appropriate and meaningful to me that a play with this sort of family at its center is the first show that I am directing with my theatrical family at the Huntington."
The ensemble cast features Christina Pumariega (The Miracle at Naples) as Adela; Boston native Rebecca Soler (The Year of the Baby at Soho Rep) as Adela's spirited sister, Martina; Juan Javier Cardenas (Boleros for the Disenchanted) as their brother Manny, a rebel fighter; and Christopher Tarjan (Our Town) as Davis, the American journalist who is witness to the mounting conflict. Christopher Burns (Captors) plays Isador, a Spanish lieutenant, and Conquistador; Marianna Bassham (Our Town, Luck of the Irish) plays Isador's wife Fancy and Hautey's wife; and young actor Brandon Barbosa plays Cuban boys Cucho and Mambi.
"There is a legend in my family about my great-grandmother, who lived through the Cuban War of Independence," says Lopez. "When she was 16, the Spanish came to take over her farm and sent her family to internment camps. My great-grandmother refused to go. She took her pet pig under her arms and walked up into the mountains to join the rebels. The play that I eventually wrote is not her story, but it's certainly infused with her indomitable spirit."
Becoming Cuba was commissioned by North Coast Repertory Theatre, where it received its premiere production in May—June, 2013. It was developed at the Huntington during the 2012 Summer Workshop for Huntington Playwriting Fellows.
Melinda Lopez is the Huntington's first playwright-in-residence and a Huntington Playwriting Fellow. Her play Sonia Flew (Elliot Norton and IRNE Awards) inaugurated the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA in 2004. It has subsequently been produced at Coconut Grove Playhouse, Laguna Playhouse, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, and many others. Her play Becoming Cuba was produced at the Huntington and North Coast Repertory Theatre. Other plays include Mala (ArtsEmerson), Orchids to Octopi (Underground Railroad Theater, Elliot Norton Award), Gary (Steppenwolf First Look and Boston Playwrights Theatre), Alexandros (Laguna Playhouse), Caroline in Jersey (Williamstown Theatre Festival), God Smells like a Roast Pig (Elliot Norton Award), and Midnight Sandwich/Medianoche (Coconut Grove Playhouse). Ms. Lopez has appeared in Our Town, The Rose Tattoo, Persephone, and A Month in the Country at the Huntington and the Motherf**ker with the Hat at SpeakEasy Stage Company (Elliot Norton Award for Best Supporting Actress). She teaches playwriting at Boston University
(As of March 2017)
M. Bevin O'Gara is the Associate Producer at the Huntington Theatre Company and directed The Who & the What, Kirsten Greenidge's Milk Like Sugar (Elliot Norton Award nomination for Best Production) and Melinda Lopez's Becoming Cuba. Other directing credits include appropriate, A Future Perfect, Tribes (Elliot Norton and IRNE Awards for Best Production), and Clybourne Park (SpeakEasy Stage Company), Brahman/i, Chronicles of Kalki; You for Me for You; Love Person; and The Pain and the Itch (Company One Theatre), Phedre (Actors' Shakespeare Project), Fast Company (Lyric Stage Company), Marjorie Prime (Nora Theatre Company), How Soft the Lining and Translations (Bad Habit Productions), Matt and Ben (Central Square Theater), Two Wives in India and Gary (Boston Playwrights' Theatre), 2.5 Minute Ride (New Repertory Theatre), Melancholy Play (Holland Productions), Tattoo Girl, Painting You, and Artifacts (Williamstown Theatre Festival Workshop), and ANTI-KISS (3 Monkeys Theatrical Productions). She is the recipient of the Lois Roach Award for Outstanding Commitment to the Boston Theatre Community from Company One Theatre. She has a BFA from Boston University in theatre studies. This summer she will be moving to Ithaca, New York to become the Producing Artistic Director of the Kitchen Theatre Company. mbevinogara.com.
The Huntington's production of Becoming Cuba will feature scenic design by Cameron Anderson (The Language of Trees at Roundabout Underground); costume design by Andrea Hood (Love and Information at New York Theatre Workshop); lighting design by Yi Zhao (Republic & Beckett Solos at Hoi Polloi); and composition and sound design by Arshan Gailus (Tribes and Clybourne Park at SpeakEasy Stage Company). Production stage manager is Carola Morrone LaCoste. Assistant Stage Manager is Candice Mongellow.
Recipient of the 2013 Regional Theatre Tony Award and named Best of Boston 2013 by Boston magazine, the Huntington Theatre Company has developed into Boston's leading professional theatre and one of the region's premiere cultural assets since its founding in 1982. Bringing together superb local and national talent, the Huntington produces a mix of groundbreaking new works and classics made current to create award-winning productions, runs nationally renowned programs in education and new play development, and serves the local theatre community through its operation of the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA.

Los Altos Hills resident Dr. Anita Borg, founder and president of the Institute for Women and Technology (IWT) and member of the President's Commission on the Advancement of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering and Technology, recently received the Melitta Bentz Woman of Innovation and Invention Award. The Melitta award honors one outstanding woman annually for her leadership, ambition and courage.
"This award represents the world's long history of inventive women," Borg said. "To begin speeches I always say that the coffee filter and other important products were designed by women. I am proud to be part of that history." Despite women's abilities and accomplishments in technology, she said, there was a greater percentage of women graduating with technical degrees 15 years ago than today.
Noted by Fast Company as "a living legend among computer scientists," Borg is leading the movement to advance women in technological positions. The Xerox Palo Alto researcher is known for pioneering fault-tolerant operating systems, for developing tools to predict the performance of microprocessor memory systems and for designing MECCA, a web-based e-mail system used by thousands. Borg gained national media attention for founding the "systers" electronic community for women in computing and the prestigious Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing technical conference.
Melitta, in the spirit of its German founder Melitta Bentz, who invented and patented the filter drip system of coffee making in 1908, created the Award in 1989. The winner receives a replica of the original brass coffee pot Melitta invented, a $5,000 check and $1,000 for a charity of her choice. Borg designated IWT.

I'd like to ask a small question, is the speed up factor bounded above by the number of cores in a GPU?
I mean if I implemented an algorithm sequentially and run it on CPU then implemented it in parallel and run it on GPU of 16 cores, is the maximum speedup factor that I could achieve 16x???
or is there other factors that might increase this factor... could you please help me get more info about this?

Welcome everyone new here! You will learn so much about what your body prefers you feed it ... and it isn't what you *think* you love to eat, either! When you clean out your body with the clean P2 eating your body will thank you with wonderful weight losses and you will feel SOOOOO good!
When I started I had to clean out my cupboards of ANYTHING not P2 in order to keep myself away from the wrong stuff. If anyone lived in my house that wouldn't let me do this, I'm afraid I could NOT have gotten started with this or maintained during P3 & P4! Was hard enough with just ME and my own food sensitivities. (Some ladies feed their families what they eat on P2, just more of it) I bought an inexpensive countertop grill so I could quickly grill my 3.5 oz beef, fish, or chicken, as I don't do microwaves anymore. I plop my freshly grilled meat on top of my lettuce or fresh spinach leaves and sprinkle lots of seasonings over them (making sure my seasonings don't have sugar or starch added ... reading labels is a must!).
I discovered that much of the reason I was always fat (first doctor prescribed diet at age 8) was due to sensitivities to foods that most people actually DIET with! I could not eat just 1 bread anything. I ate my whole box of grissini at 1 sitting during week 1 of HCG ... we are only allowed 20 cals of the bread things and I simply could not do it, so I don't eat the bread products at all. That's a food sensitivity, to not be able to eat just one. It isn't a moral failure! Important that you know that!
Someone asked about pellets. I haven't used them, but Beth_M, who stops by here once in a while has. She started at 350-something, had a lap band, gained, started HCG and has reached goal. She's a beautiful example of how this protocol works!
So many here have lost amazing amounts of weight in a very short time. I am purposely losing slowly because I can't afford cosmetic surgery to tighten up sagging skin... even if I could stand the thought of someone cutting on my body. I'm older and the possibility that my sagging skin will remain long after I lose just haunts me silly! However, I am just soooooo thankful that I have found something that works, and I've found this forum to help me learn how to slowly add new foods in during P3 so that I "hear" what my body is telling me concerning what to eat and what not to eat. And I've also learned on this forum about how to "clear" food sensitivities so stabilizing is possible while eating some of my favorites. Couldn't do that very well until I got to Round 3, which I'm just winding down in P3 ... will be breaking and maintaining until late June.
Best wishes to everyone!! It's so great to be a real loser!!
From 376, lost some over 3 years ... Started HCG October 31, 2010 - Sept 30, 2011, - 53 lb with 4 rounds HCG protocol.
Maintained w/ Paleo April 22 - June 1, when I started losing. Lost an additional 20 lb with Paleo eating between rounds.
Back to Paleo 10-1-2011 @ 278
100 lb GONE 10-13-2011
Left this forum permanently 10/29/2011.
See: www.jackkruse.com, www.marksdailyapple.com
Stop the government from making supplements PRESCRIPTION ONLY http://www.anh-usa.org/
P3. I then loaded again and did 2 weeks p2 and lost 10lbs and 7 days p3 ( 2 of the days were vlcd no drops). Then I started p2 again ( currently on and have lost 10lbs) and I am going to go 3-4 weeks this time, only because the way it works out I need to be on maintence May 15/16/17 and then again jume9th for 3weeks.
I know I am not the usual cycler and I have not done p4 but when I get to my last round I will do a full p3 and p4. I also do a detox program which is drops and take a lot of supplements through my Homeopathic practiciner that has allowed me to maximize my losses.
Stephanie I have not set another goal, I mean kind of I want to get under 200 by June and I am at 215.2 right now, so I think first it will be to get under 200 and then after that make another goal. Are you still on one long round? I have been on p2 for 2 weeks and darn it I just want to be under 200 so bad, I have about 17 more days I could be on p2 before I need to go to P3 because I am going out of town for business for a few days. I hope I can do it, I mean I know I can just hoping the 15 pounds in 2 more weeks is reasonable. If not, I will jump back in and try again on a short round before June.
wow natalie, that is impressive. You lost 31 lbs in 23 days...that is incredible. The detox program or the supplements..are they something that you can get online? I am all about doing anything to get down. Any suggestions that you have learned that you would like to share would be awesome. I dont have a dr around my area. We have two plastic surgeons who write prescriptions but they really dont seem to know anything about the diet.
Oh a sidenote--I am so happy this thread exist. I like being around people that start where I start and not starting at my goal weight.
That is so awesome Natalie, I wish I was that close to 200 pounds. So everyone has some good ideas, I had some lettuce today and um now I had a few strawberries but I am fixing chicken on the grill for dinner with a little garlic for flavor.

Why are there only old fat people at nude beaches and resorts ?
I've always imagined these places to be filled with hot young women. But in every depiction of a nude beach or resort I've ever seen they are filled with old fat people but no young hotties. Why is this ?
Yup, they're either old fat and ugly or hairy hippies. Reality sucks.
Many people object to all beaches being nude, because they don't want to look at fat people.I defend the right
of fat people to be nude at the beach. It is no different than seeing them in a restaurant or on the street. A few people took the stance that they didn't want their guyren on nude beaches, but guyren don't find nudity objectionable. Isn't that the attitude of a sick adult mind projected onto guyren?
When I went to Spain last summer, there were nude people all around me...it was a strange sight...but u get used to it if u have lived there your whole life. I totally agree with you. Hope this helps.
When we go to the nude beach there's this short fat man?
We see this short, fat, bald man with a tiny willy at the nude beach. We make fun of him, throw stuff at him but he keeps coming back. Being guys, we figure we can do this and get away with it. Is this being fair or are we complete bastards?
Lol and I'm not typing that just cause, this made me laugh, but wait Kev, you're both of them?
List of movies that have a nude fat or chubby chick in it?
Looking for a list of movies (not porn) that have a nude (breasts or more) chubby or fat woman in it.
Title of movie is good enough... added bonus for actress name.
Kathy Bates in "About Schmidt"
My all time favorite is Bagdad Cafe with the luscious Marianne Sägebrecht.
She has another wonderful film appearance as a very sensual woman in some pretty frilly lingerie in Zuckerbaby
Another is the Road to Wellville with Camryn Manheim nude.
Fat girls and tasteful nude photos?
I'm a big girl, but I still have some great qualities. I'd like to take tasteful nude pictures, but I'm having issues on how to go about posing to hide my less attractive qualities. This will all be done at home, so no professional lighting, no professional photographer...I want to look beautiful, enticing, but not quite pornographic...think tastefully erotic (Playboy, not Hustler). Can anyone help with poses, lighting, any kind of advice? Thanks guys.
To add to what fhotoace said, You can practice a few things ahead of time, like posing.
Some really big girls dont like to be on all 4's when doing erotica, as their belly may hang a bit. Its not something that bothers me. But, to see what you really look like, light your room as well as you can, maybe using a window that has some sunlight coming thru it, use a mirror, or video cam setup to your tv, and actively pose, to see what you like the best, or maybe more importantly, what you dont like. The fewer shots that you dont like, the better chance of trying this again, learning from the process, and enjoying the feeling of letting it all out there.
Maybe try some of the "classic rubenesque" poses that you see in classic art, laid back on a chair or sofa, holding grapes above you as you nibble them from below.
For lighting, you can use the best light on you, and maybe bounce the light off the ceiling, or you can get glossy white posterboard or foamboard to bounce light. Bouncing bright or heavy light, will give it a softer feel when it hits you, and lessen the shadow effect a bit..
You can also use smaller lights to highlight your background, which will help to give some definition, so any shadows on you dont blend into the background.
While you will be the focus of each shot, using props to hold, or place around you, can add to the artistic effect of a shot. Having something like a flower, or something in your hand, can make you look more comfortable in a shot, if your trying to figure out poses.
Who is the fat man sitting at the computer?
We have all seen that photo of a naked fat man sitting at a computer. He's fat, nude, and got glasses and a grey beard. Its quite famous now, I wonder who he is, where that photo came from?
LMAO if he became a computer store nerd I'm sure that I've seen him on this streaming video site getting beaten up by his employees...
He looks sorta similar to that guy in the pic!!!
Do only fat or old people go to nude resorts ?
Or do some people who are young and inshape also go to nude resorts ?
For the same reason that young and beautiful people go to enjoy the sun and relax. If it bothers you that older people and fat people are nudists you had better rethink being one because there are very few beautiful people out there dressed or undressed most people are average looking which means they are over 25 and also probably overweight.
Is there less sex in America now because fat people find it difficult to accomplish,or don't like to be nude?
By MIKE STOBBE and CARLA K. JOHNSON, AP Medical Writers Mike Stobbe And Carla K. Johnson, Ap Medical Writers – Thu Mar 3, 7:09 pm ET
ATLANTA – Fewer teens and young adults are having sex, a government survey shows, and theories abound for why they're doing it less.
Honestly? I think it's pornography. I do. I think huge amounts of men are addicted to porn they get on their computer or from videos on their tv because it's so easy to get nowadays and they like that stimulation better than the real thing.

COMMUTERS were left stranded after weekend engineering works over-ran into the morning rush-hour.
Upgrade work took place in the Colchester area throughout the weekend as part of a £7million project to improve reliability.
The track was due to be clear by 4am on Monday, but late-running meant passengers were told to stay away during the morning peak.
Chris Richards, vice chairman of Manningtree Rail Users Association, was delayed three times by the engineering works and said Network Rail was to blame.
He said: "They have failed to communicate what exactly went wrong leaving Abellio Greater Anglia to deal with the fall out early on Monday morning."
A Network Rail spokesman said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Brazilian pianist Sergio Mendes was born in Niterói, Brazil on February 11, 1941.
His original hopes of becoming a classical pianist were upstaged by his growing interest in jazz.
In the late-1950s Sergio started playing nightclubs just as bossa nova was emerging and has cited Antonio Carlos Jobim as a mentor.
Sergio toured and recorded with Cannonball Adderley and Herbie Mann and moved to the U.S. in 1964.
He became renowned for performing in a bossa nova style crossed with jazz and funk.
Sergio Mendes formed "Brasil '65" followed by his most popular group "Brasil '66".
That's how we grow.

Bruins sweep Bulldogs, capture first title
Updated 10:44 am, Wednesday, June 26, 2013
OMAHA, Neb. — UCLA's offense showed up this time, which meant Mississippi State never had a chance.
Eric Filia drove in a career-high five runs, Nick Vander Tuig limited Mississippi State to five hits in eight innings, and UCLA won its first national championship in baseball with an 8-0 victory Tuesday night.
The Bruins (49-17) completed a two-game sweep in the College World Series finals and ended the season with 11 straight wins. The national title is UCLA's NCAA-record 109th in team sports.
Vander Tuig held off the Bulldogs (51-20) when they threatened in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings and recorded his fourth win in the NCAA tournament. Vander Tuig (14-4) struck out six and walked one. David Berg pitched the ninth.
Filia produced runs with a sacrifice fly, squeeze bunt and two base hits as the Bruins collected 12 hits and scored their most runs in 18 games.
Bulldogs starter Luis Pollorena (6-4) lasted one inning.
Sports Channel
UCLA allowed four runs in five games to set a CWS record for fewest in the metal-bat era that started in 1974.
The Bruins' .227 batting average in the CWS also was the lowest since teams stopped using wood bats. The Bruins' 19 runs in four games were the fewest by a champion since the CWS went to eight teams in 1950.
Vander Tuig, who won his fourth straight postseason start, gave up just one earned run in 211/3 innings over his last three starts.
The Bruins won the title in their third CWS appearance in four years and fifth all-time. They had made it to the finals in 2010 and were swept by South Carolina.
