Shui On profit rises 27 per cent on mainland China rebound
Related topics
Property developer Shui On Land yesterday announced a 27 per cent rise in net profit for the first half of the year and said it expected the outlook to improve in the mainland's residential and commercial markets.
The company, chaired by Vincent Lo Hong-shui, said net profit was 1.05 billion yuan (HK$1.32 billion), up from 825 million yuan in the first half of last year.
Core earnings stood at 387 million yuan, up from 15 million yuan in the first half of 2012.
Lo said the mainland's residential property market had staged a strong rebound despite the economic slowdown and market-cooling measures introduced by the government.
Turnover increased 121 per cent to 3.62 billion yuan from more properties being delivered while rental and related income rose by 25 per cent.
"The continuation of the present market momentum could lead to government market-cooling measures in the second half," Lo said. "However, this risk is mitigated by the slowing pace of economic growth.
"Despite a generally tighter credit environment in the second half and the rising probability of market dampening measures such as the implementation of property taxes in more cities, housing transactions this year are expected to outperform last year's level."
Lo said he also saw a positive outlook for the commercial property sector, supported by a growing middle class.
Contracted sales for the first half of 2013 increased by 315 per cent to 6.4 billion yuan. As of June 30, total locked-in sales for delivery in the second half of the year and beyond was 9.11 billion yuan.
An interim dividend of 2.2 HK cents per share was announced, down from 2.5 HK cents.

As we weave our way through tall open forest the Guy Fawkes River valley is visible to our right; its huge, yawning expanse contains thin pockets of morning mist but what I'm looking for down there are the wide riverside flats. They have me dreaming of a lazy afternoon sitting on a clear grassy bank, sipping a warm cup of tea, soaking up sunshine. But, we have only just left the car park and the river is a long way away. As usual, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Seeking The Inaccessible Gulf - Oxley Wild Rivers National Park
The river is a water green snake sliding across grey rock and it lies far down in the bottom of a steep sided gorge: scree slopes and bare cliffs tower either side. The landscape dwarfs us as we pick our way along the crumbling gorge rim. Down there amongst the boulders, around the next corner, through the deep pools, lies The Inaccessible Gulf.
And, with a name like that, who wouldn't want to try to get in for a closer look.

CYHSY live. Any good?
I'm going on Friday but remember reading a couple of years ago that they're a bit shit live.
Saw them at Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2006 or so, was very disappointed. Most disappointing gig I've been toI'd say in fact.
they were awful when I saw them
I've seen them at ULU, Shepherd's Bush, The Forum and The Scala.
They're crap live. I only go to see them play songs from their first album. Unfortunately, those songs are played poorly too. Having typed this reply, I feel foolish for seeing a band four times knowing that they're shit live. Luckily, I didn't buy a ticket for their Shephers's Bush gig next month.
Luckily it's in Galway, great town.
With the responses here...
... I'm kinda hoping they swap back.
Galway one was quite expensive actually, wasn't it
compared to the Dublin gig.
oh really
I was gonna go to the Birmingham gig on the 6th "on the fly", really loved the first album.....dunno if i want to waste 12 quid, i could get a lot of fried chicken with that.
Saucey shit.
terrible live when I saw them ~2006...
utter dog balls...and I don't mean in the way that dog balls are shiny.
I've never heard such a consensus on a band being shit live as with CYHSY
...don't think so anyways.
- crosseyedsniper this'd this
alec's said in interviews
that they've become a better live band since the hiatus. also it seems to have become the hip thing to slag them off now. and the roisin is a great venue for them. it'll be a great gig, keep faith
Yeah, Roisin Dubh's was the draw for me over Dublin..
and I'm loving Hysterical. Hoping for a pleasant surprise.
saw them around the first album
and a couple months ago. They have greatly improved in the years and Hysterical is a very underrated record.
Should be a fun gig
And it was.
Started off a bit ropey and I'm thinkin "balls, the rumours are true", but it all came together nicely. The sound guy seemed to really struggle with the new material (shame, hysterical is in my top 3 of 2011) but the older stuff blew the hat off the place. Good gig in a great venue in a great city.

filed: February 26, 1982.
JAMES E. BARNES, APPELLANT,v.SHIRLEY M. BARNES
No. 280 Pittsburgh, 1980, Appeal from Order of the Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, of Westmoreland County at 3905 of 1978.
Henry A. Hudson, Jr., Greensburg, for appellant.
Shirley M. Barnes, appellee, in pro. per.
Cavanaugh, Johnson and Shertz, JJ. Decision was rendered prior to Shertz, J., leaving the bench of the Superior Court.
Author: Cavanaugh
[ 296 Pa. Super. Page 21]
This appeal is taken from a custody order entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County following hearings on a petition to modify a previous custody order. The appellant asks us to reverse the lower court's order or, alternatively, to remand the case for a more extensive evaluation of the testimony. Appellee also requests that the case be remanded, but for entirely different reasons. She alleges that her counsel was "incompetent" in that he failed to present important evidence relevant to her fitness as the primary custodial parent. She desires an opportunity to
[ 296 Pa. Super. Page 22]
present such evidence at a new hearing. We agree that a remand is necessary.
The dispute in this case concerns custody of the parties' two daughters. The original order, entered August 1, 1978, stipulated that custody was awarded on a shared basis. The children were to reside with their mother, appellee, from Monday through Friday, and with appellant every weekend.
On September 27, 1979, appellant filed a petition requesting that appellee be found to be in contempt of court for refusing to abide by the provisions of the order and also requesting that the order be modified to provide that primary custody be with appellant. Following two hearings on the petition, the lower court entered a new order directing that primary custody remain with appellee during the school year, with appellant to have custody two weekends per month, and that appellant have primary custody during the summer, with appellee to have weekend visitation rights twice a month.
This court has broad discretion to review custody orders. See In re Custody of White, 270 Pa. Super. 165, 411 A.2d 231 (1979) and cases cited therein. In order to facilitate this broad review, "we have consistently emphasized that the hearing court must provide us not only with a complete record, but also with a complete and comprehensive opinion which contains a thorough analysis of the record and specific reasons for the court's ultimate decision." White, supra, 270 Pa. Super. at 167-68, 411 A.2d at 233 (citation omitted).
The opinion entered by the trial court in this case discusses only two changes in circumstances since the original order was entered. First, only the mother was living with a paramour at the time of the original order, while both parties were living with persons to whom they were not married at the time of the hearing on the petition for a modification. ...

text: A fastidious woodchuck discovers parenthood to be worse than his wildest imaginings in this benign, if sardonic, animal tale from Seidler (The Wainscott Weasel, 1993, etc.). When Sally Hubble, a poster child for the ""terrible twos,"" is left in a ditch by three of her older siblings, the maternal instincts of Phoebe--the new wife of a woodchuck named Fred--are amused despite the difference in species; soon the child, dubbed Margaret after Phoebe's mother, is ensconced in the once-spotless burrow, pulling apart glowworm lamps, smashing heirloom furniture, and greedily consuming all the honey, berries, and goat's milk the harried woodchucks can gather. Margaret grows at a great rate, and soon the family finds itself sharing a nearby cave with a squirrel, a skunk, two bats, and a snake, plus Phoebe's coquettish sister Babette and her three offspring. When at last Margaret makes the mistake of stomping on the skunk's tail, her reeking flight into the forest reunites her with her natural parents. Fred, whose relief at her flight is not entirely unmixed, realizes that his attitudes toward parenting have undergone a profound change when Phoebe shortly thereafter gives birth to little Patience. Chubby and disheveled, Margaret towers over her exhausted, dapper minions in Agee's numerous thick-lined, simply drawn cartoons. Advanced readers may perceive an edge beneath the drollery, but it's all in good fun.

Anatomy of a Mortar Attack
US Army Private First Class Brian Wintering and Specialist Shannon Kelley were hanging around their heavily armored vehicle known as an MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) when the round hit. Wintering and Kelley scrambled to get to the combat aid...
Specialist Shannon Kelley being taken down the back ramp of the combat aid station to a waiting Gator.
US Army Private First Class Brian Wintering and Specialist Shannon Kelley were hanging around their heavily armored vehicle known as an MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) when the round hit.
It was the early afternoon on Friday, July 19, and it was already hot. The back ramp was open and so was the driver's side door. The two soldiers were standing by as part of a quick reaction team in case the Combat Outpost (COP) Soltankhel in eastern Afghanistan came under attack, which it frequently does. But this time, they were the ones in the impact zone.
"I was playing Temple Run [the video game] and moved inside the vehicle so I could see [the screen] better. Shannon went out for a smoke," said 21-year-old Wintering. "When the mortar hit I just went to the ground. I felt a piece of shrapnel hit my neck. I was pretty much in shock. But then I heard Shannon screaming outside. He was on the ground, his face all bloody. I picked him up and he said, 'We gotta get to the combat aid station, and we just ran. That's about all I can remember."
This is the tailfin of 82-millimeter mortar round that landed on the base. The head of the mortar is packed with explosives and detonates on impact.
The single 82mm mortar landed inside the gates right next to Wintering and Kelley. At remote outposts like Soltankhel, soldiers know when it's time to take cover.
They also now how to retaliate. Like many other American bases around Afghanistan, Soltankhel utilizes a high tech "eye in the sky" blimp, which is tethered above it. The blimp is known by the military acronym PTDS, which stands for Persistent Threat Detection System. The PTDS is mounted with a 360-degree video-camera platform that can scan for miles. But the technology also had its drawbacks. While the blimp offers a constant view of the surrounding terrain, one officer confided in me that it provides an aiming reference for Taliban mortar and rocket fire onto the base.
Still, the system archives the locations where previous attacks were launched so it can quickly acquire them if they're used again. In this case, they were. The PTDS locked on to two men, one carrying what looked like a mortar launching tube.
"We scanned the area and we saw the POO [point of origin of the attack] and two guys, one carrying the tube which he covered up in a red cloth," said Lieutenant Zachary Peterson. Peterson is a fire support officer and the battle captain on duty, which is a military version of a police watch commander who monitors events from a tactical headquarters.
Using the PTDS, they watched the man try to make a getaway on the back of a motorcycle driven by another.
"We tracked them back to their staging area, which we've seem them use before, a local mosque," said Peterson.
But along the way, the men passed behind some buildings and out of view of the PTDS. Somewhere on the route to the mosque, the man on the back tossed the tube.
Meanwhile on the COP, Wintering and Kelley scrambled to get to the combat aid station, both bleeding, but still able to compose themselves and make the 100- to 150-yard dash within just minutes of being hit.
"Your training just kicks in after something like that," said Wintering.
The Gator headed to the helicopter landing zone.
My colleague, Alex Penna of Stars and Stripes, and I were on the other side of the building when the mortar hit and we actually felt the tremble of the ground and saw the men running to the aid station. Kelley's face was streaming with blood, his hand pressed against the wounds on his neck. Wintering following right behind him.
Inside the aid station, medics quickly assessed the injuries of the two soldiers. Concerned whether the shrapnel may have penetrated vital organs, they quickly bandaged Kelley's head and chest and within just 26 minutes had him plugged with a saline IV drip, wrapped in a mylar coated (space) blanket to help prevent shock, and packaged on a stretcher on the back of a Gator (a golf cart on steroids) heading to the helicopter landing zone for a medevac to the more advanced medical facility at Forward Operating Base Shank (15 to 20 minutes away by chopper).
Wintering was kept on base, treated for the blast concussion and monitored for any hidden, internal injuries.
While the injured soldiers were being treated, Lieutenant Peterson had American artillery teams standing by to respond to the attack with mortars of their own, but since the local men had disappeared from view, they couldn't be certain the two were responsible for the attack.
Peterson called up two A10 Warthog aircraft on station. The pilots located the dropped tube and using an IR camera, which detected a white-hot heat signature that likely indicated it had been used to fire the mortar round.
"In an immediate show of force we dropped two, 500-pound bombs on the tube," Peterson said. "It was an open area without potential for collateral damage and we destroyed the weapon. That's a victory for us."
And a message for the Taliban, or EOA (Enemies of Afghanistan) as the military now calls them.
Specialist Kelley was bandaged, packed and ready for transport to a more advanced medical facility within 26 minutes of the mortar attack.
As far as the two wounded soldiers, Kelley's injuries were not life threatening. He was treated and is expected to return to COP Soltankhel within the week.
As for Wintering?
"I still have a headache and ringing in my ears, but I guess I'm OK."
Mortar attacks are obviously expected in a war zone and the current frequency of these attacks signal how dangerous Afghanistan remains. But regardless, Wintering does wonder, as others must who survive lighting strikes, shark attacks, and other acts of spatial violence, how, out of all the real estate on COP Soltankhel, this mortar fell so near to him.
"You're shocked and ask yourself why me. I've seen them before but you never expect it to be you," Wintering said, "When you get knocked down, you have to get back up again. But when I hear the explosions, I still get scared."

Patient Review Highlights
It was good for time being
The bronchial tubes (also termed as bronchi) present in the lungs play an important role in carrying the air inside and out of the lungs. In Bronchitis, the lining of this bronchial tubes gets inflamed. Chronic Bronchitis, as the name suggests is a more severe condition whereby the bronchi lining suffers a constant inflammation and irritation. In most cases, the condition is found to affect people who are into heavy smoking.
Chronic Bronchitis triggers a myriad of complications including shortness of breath, cough (often associated with the production of a large amount of mucus), tiredness and mild fever. Affect people who are smokers. Heavily and regularly exposed to pollutants like dust, asbestos, fodder, vehicle pollutants(traffic police). Early diagnosis and treatment can help in preventing many serious complications including Pneumonia. In this article, we will highlight the effective treatments and medications along with the precautions in the case of chronic bronchitis.
Treatment and Medications in the case of Chronic Bronchitis
The severity of the condition often decides the course of the treatment.
- Since most people with chronic bronchitis complain of breathing problems (shortness of breath) indicative of inadequate oxygen supply, the doctor may suggest an oxygen therapy. In this therapy, oxygen gas is made available to the body to deal with the breathing problem and also to enrich the lungs with sufficient amounts of oxygen to ensure proper functioning of the body. For this oxygen therapy, tubes are fitted either in the nose or placed right in the trachea. In some cases, a face mask may also be used to deliver the oxygen inside the body.
- In the case of chronic bronchitis resulting in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD (obstructive lung problem that makes breathing difficult), the mucus tends to block and obstruct the airways. Thus, the use of bronchodilators may be helpful. The bronchodilators play an instrumental role in clearing the airway of this obstruction thereby improving the breathing.
- Medications such as cough suppressant may also be prescribed to provide relief from a cough.
Precautions and Self-management:
For a speedy recovery, a person should take the necessary precautions. There are certain Do's and Dont's that one should take care of in the case of chronic bronchitis.
- For people with chronic bronchitis, smoking is more like a poison. Refrain from smoking during the entire course of the treatment.
- Keep away from things (such as paints, pollutants, or any cleaning products with a strong odor and fumes) that can irritate your lungs. The use of a mask (whether at home or outside) is advisable.
- Many people with chronic bronchitis have had significant improvement by practicing yoga.
- It is also important that you keep the body well hydrated. Make sure to drink water at regular intervals.
- Ensure you have a proper rest and sound sleep.
- Take care of your diet. Avoid refined sugar, salty and spicy foods, foods that contain high dairy fats (ice-creams, cheese cakes, whole milk, and any foods that contain high-fat cheese).
Allergies are the result of the immune system's response to foreign objects such as pet dander, pollen, certain foods, bee venom etc. In response to the allergen, the immune system produces antibodies, anticipating that the allergen is harmful in nature, even though that might not be the case always. The immune system can inflame the digestive system, skin, airways or sinuses when it comes in contact with allergens. The severity of allergies can vary from anaphylaxis to a minor irritation. In most cases, allergies cannot be fully cured. It, however, can be controlled with medication.
What are the symptoms of allergy?
- Various allergies cause different kinds of symptoms.
- Hay fever can cause sneezing, fluffy nose, itching of the eyes, nose, and mouth, swollen eyes etc.
- Food allergy can cause hives, mouth tingling, anaphylaxis, body itching etc.
- Insect sting produces symptoms such as anaphylaxis, cough, swelling on the source etc.
- Drug allergy can result in a rash, wheezing, swelling of the face, hives etc.
- Atopic dermatitis often lead to flake, itching, and reddening of the skin.
- There are other allergies that are triggered either by food or by insect bite. These can lead to a medical emergency known as the anaphylaxis. Some symptoms include skin rash, loss of consciousness, weak pulse, vomiting and nausea, shortness of breath etc.
What are the possible causes of allergy?
- Air: A number of allergies occur from the surrounding air. Examples of such airborne allergies include pollen, animal dander, mould etc.
- Food items: Certain foods are known to be causing allergy such as tree nuts, eggs, peanuts, soy fish etc.
- Medication: There are medications such as penicillin-based antibiotics that can lead to allergy.
- Insect bite: Bite from insects such as wasp or bee can trigger an allergy in adults and kids.
What are the possible complications?
Allergy often leads to complication such as asthma, infection of the lungs, sinusitis, infection of the ear and anaphylaxis. The risk of getting these conditions increase, provided no treatment is done for a long duration.
How is the diagnosis done?
To investigate the type of allergy a person has, the doctor might ask for the exact symptoms that a person is encountering. He may ask questions related to intake of food and the possible triggers. A skin test is often performed, followed by a blood test to confirm the presence of allergy in an individual.
What are the methods of treatment?
Depending on the type of allergy one has, a doctor might prescribe nasal spray, eye drops, and pills to reduce the symptoms. Apart from this, if the allergy is severe in nature, a doctor might suggest going for immunotherapy and emergency epinephrine. Certain lifestyle changes and food habits go a long way in cutting down the symptoms.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease that can affect the lungs. The bacteria spread through sneezes and coughs making it a communicable disease. This disease was rare and limited to the Western Countries until 1985. The emergence of HIV virus has made tuberculosis a global disease to reckon with. Although the rate of TB has come down since 1993, it remains a top concern for many countries. The biggest worry is the fact that TB bacteria can build resistance to many drugs. Therefore, it is very important that a TB patient takes a variety of medication suggested by the doctor at the right time.
Although your body is already in possession of the bacteria leading to tuberculosis, your immune system is able to prevent you from becoming sick. Doctors have made a distinction between latent and active tuberculosis (TB)--
In case of latent TB, the bacteria in the body in a passive state and it causes no symptoms, and therefore it is not contagious. But, in the case of active TB, you would become sick and may even spread the disease to others. It can take place in the first few weeks or even after several months of being infected with TB bacteria.
Types of Tuberculosis:
There are two types of tuberculosis- Latent and Active.
- Latent Tuberculosis is a condition where the bacteria stays in the system of a person but doesn't show up any symptoms of TB. Although this type of TB is not contagious, it requires treatment so that TB can be controlled from spreading.
- Then there is active tuberculosis. It shows symptoms in the first few weeks and can spread to another person as well.
What are the symptoms of active TB?
- If you are coughing for over three weeks and sometimes even coughing up blood, it can be a sign of TB.
- Chest pain and pain while coughing and breathing along with fatigue, fever, chills and night sweat are the common symptoms of TB along with loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss.
- TB may even affect other organs of your body, including your brain, spine and kidneys.
- When TB takes place outside the lungs, then the signs of TB can vary as per the organs that are involved. For instance, TB in the spine can cause back pain and that in kidneys may cause blood in the urine.
What are the causes of TB?
- TB is stemmed from a bacteria which spreads from individual to individual via the microscopic droplets that are released into the air.
- This may happen when an affected person is left untreated and he speaks or sneezes or coughs or laughs. Though the disease is contagious, it is not easy to be affected by it.
- As a result, you are much more likely to get affected with active tuberculosis from a person you live with or come in regular contact with, rather than a stranger.
- It is important to note here that people who are affected with TB and going through proper medications for over two weeks are no more contagious.
Tuberculosis - How to effectively treat it?
With the treatment for tuberculosis, one should have patience as it may take time to cure a person completely of tuberculosis and the associated symptoms. Many factors are taken into consideration while determining the course of the treatment for tuberculosis, some of which include
- Type of tuberculosis (Latent or Active).
- Age of the patient.
- The condition being drug resistant.
- The general health of the patient (if there are any other health conditions that may interfere with the treatment).
In the case of Active TB and that too, a drug-resistant type, the use of multiple drugs (simultaneously) may be needed to produce the desired results. The drugs commonly used include Pyrazinamide, Rifampin, Ethambutol, and Isoniazid. In most cases, the doctors suggest the drugs be continued for at least six- nine months for positive results.
Some patients with Active TB (drug resistant) may also benefit from the use of fluoroquinolones (antibiotics) taken along with capreomycin, amikacin, or kanamycin (mostly given in the form of injections). Most patients are required to follow the medication for 20-30 months duration.
Unlike the Active TB, in the case of Latent TB, a combination of drugs and medications is not required. A single TB specific drug is enough to treat the condition.
Therefore, it is important to seek medical assistance and detect if you have any such health complications concerning TB.
If you are experiencing a wheezing sound while you breathe or having difficulty in breathing, you are suffering from asthma. It is a medical condition characterized by paroxysmal wheezing respiration dyspnoea. There is no definite way to prevent asthma, but by following a step-by-step daily plan, you can prevent asthma attacks or keep them in check.
Symptoms of Asthma or Asthma Attack
- Wheezing
- Chest tightness or chest discomfort
- Breathing discomfort with or without cough
Here are some important measures to follow to prevent asthma:
- You need to strictly follow your asthma action plan. The plan should be laid down after a detailed discussion with your doctor or healthcare team. All the medicines you require to prevent the asthma attacks will be written down for you.
- You should get vaccinated for pneumonia and influenza. This will prevent these conditions from triggering asthma attacks or flare-ups.
- You need to identify the asthma triggers and stay away from them. Several outdoors irritants and allergens from pollen to cold air can trigger asthma attacks.
- You have to monitor your breathing. By recognising the warning signs of an attack like wheezing, slight coughing or shortness of breath, you can prevent an asthma attack. You need to measure and record your peak airflow regularly using a home peak flow meter.
- By acting quickly, you can identify a fatal attack and prevent it from occurring. When the peak flow measurement decreases, you need to take your medicines immediately and abstain from any activity which may have triggered the attack.
- You need to keep taking your prescribed medicines, even if your asthma symptoms have improved. You should not change your medication schedule without consulting a doctor. It is recommended that you to bring along the medicines you take at your doctor's appointment as he will be able to tell whether you are taking them right.
- If you use your quick relief inhaler a lot, the asthma is not under control. You need to visit your doctor as soon as possible and he/she will make some modifications to your treatment.
- For prevention of asthma, you should use allergy proof pillow covers and mattresses. You must wash your bedding every week in hot water to eliminate dust mites. You may use a dehumidifier for reducing excess moisture to prevent mold.
- Do not allow your pets in the bedroom and on the furniture. Pet dander is a common trigger of asthma and it cannot be avoided by people who own pets.
- You can also fit an air filtration system in your home. It will help in the elimination of asthma triggers such as pollen, dust mites and other allergens.
Doctor suggests immunotherapy for asthma prevention in the form of allergy shots. Immunotherapy aims at altering a person's immune response by making it less sensitive to asthma triggers. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Pulmonologist.

First, though, some folks gave me some advice:
Advice #1: Why not use a ratchet or a makeshift twisted tourniquet to squeeze those two wires together until you can align them both and then gradually release the pressure allowing them to insert as you describe? Or go get a gorilla for a boyfriend and have him do it.
Advice #2: What you need, Sarah, is to gather all said parts and instructions, bundle it up, take it back to be your store, look helpless, find the best looking young man with lots of muscles and ask for help. They often are easily influenced by a beautiful smile, an asset in which you are highly qualified. Wish you were closer. Your uncle would be happy to help.
Advice #3: I was looking at the picture of the rack, and maybe you could un-assemble it a little bit by unscrewing the the screws near the top so you can move the black part around better? And then screw those parts back in. Or maybe that is too much work or will make it worse... in that case, I would call for a muscle man.
Advice #4: Dirk
There are three comments I'd like to make about this advice.
First, Dirk is a childhood friend who can take a pile of miscellaneous, complicated mechanical parts and make them do cartwheels, the rhumba, and the moonwalk across the table. He just has a way of getting them to do what he wants. Naturally, his name is one of the first that comes to mind when I need something fixed or built. Apparently his name is also the first to come to mind when others are giving a mechanically challenged girl advice for her bike rack.
Second, the first three pieces of advice all have something in common: they all ultimately advise me to find a big, strong man to help me. I like this advice. I like it a lot. Keep it comin', folks.
Third, although this advice is all quite helpful, I didn't end up needing it after all. Because it turns out I have the brute strength of an ox. That, combined with a handy pair of pliers, enabled me to muscle the pins into their respective holes. And voila! the bike rack was complete.
The next morning I had the bike rack and beach cruiser secured to my car, and I was off to Newport, where a girlfriend and I had a lovely day cruising around the back bay before heading to the beach for some glorious sun and sea.
And not a hiccup did I experience with that bike rack of mine. It's turned out to be a solid, secure and reliable little guy. No doubt thanks to those pins-that-won't-budge...
Happy Monday, y'all!

MICK McCARTHY has a background for showing relative disdain to cup competitions.
A few years back he memorably changed his whole team at Wolves for a cup match against Manchester United, and was fined for it.
He's done a similar thing here at Ipswich, so cup games tend to mean nine or 10 changes.
The difference is, that Ipswich have got more depth to their squad now to be able to make switches.
It will effectively be a reserve team, however, for the game with Pompey.
They have put the reserve keeper up to speak to the press before the game, Bartosz Bialkowski, so that's an indication of how things will go.
It's not just the Premier League sides who are making these changes for cup competitions now.
The ultimate priority is promotion and the riches which come with making the Premier League. I'm sure promotion is the main goal for Pompey, too.
Going into the game, Ipswich have not lost too many games this season – six defeats all season.
But it's been a topsy-turvy kind of campaign, too.
They started the season on fire and were at the top towards the end of August.
That really raised expectations they could kick on after the play-off finish last season.
All of the sudden, though, they won one game in 10 and dropped into the bottom half of the table.
That led to fans re-evaluating their goals for the season, but another twist came at the start of November – they've now won seven of their past 10 games.
So it's been a season of highs and lows so far.
There are warnings there for Ipswich going into the game. There was a cup match against Preston a couple of years back which ended in a draw. That led to an unwanted trip up north for a replay and helped de-rail league form for a period.
Luke Varney is a name Pompey fans will recognise.
He came in on loan at the end of last season and raised eyebrows. His career was going in the wrong direction but McCarthy has got the best out of him.
There's also been much made of the striking options in David McGoldrick, Brett Pitman, Freddie Sears and Daryl Murphy.
In previous years if the reserves were put out Ipswich would've been seriously weakened.
There is like-for-like quality there now, though, so there should be enough for them to win – even with changes being made.

Lesson Info
Create a Customizable Action
Class Description
We've all played around with actions here and there, and then fallen out of love with them because... "they're just not intelligent enough." Well what if we were to tell you that you've probably just scratched the surface of what actions can truly do! In this class Kristina Sherk shows you how to tailor the actions you create to work perfectly on any photo you have. With a few small helpful tips, and hidden options, you'll be on your way to becoming an actions power user!
Don't have Photoshop yet? Get it now so you can follow along with the course!
Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CC 2017.1.1
Amy Vaughn
I was already a regular action user before this class, edited other people's actions and dabbled with creating a few of my own. Somehow, I still wasn't thinking about just how many of those repetitive adjustments I make across images that I could be automating. Kristina's class was great for making me think about how much more I can be doing with actions than I was, and I've already noticed a difference with my editing speed since I started applying her suggestions. This is one of those classes that seemed like a simple lesson at the time, but it's having a huge impact on my daily workflow.

She learned to live with mechanical precision. Each day dragging into the next, in the grand picture she was a speck of dust floating, unheard and unheeded by the universe. In her family picture she stood in the middle, gaze fixed on the camera, a wide smile.
To her she had always been a swimmer, in life's murky waters, everything had an end.
The weekdays, holding breath under water, 1,2,3,4,5…. Then up to the surface, gasping for air
On the weekend she would become whoever she wanted, the woman searching for a nice flat on the banana island, particularly interested in a beautiful kitchen, telling realtors about her Italian boyfriend's obsession with oregano. Then she was pregnant woman, the only child searching for love telling drunken strangers about her father who never returned, the banker about to lose her job, the upcoming actress willing to do anything for her big break.
She was all these women in quick succession, one weekend after the other, never fearing insanity. For the weekend, life was a book with blank sheets and she held the pen, treasuring each second in the company of strangers before disappearing, never exchanging contacts. There were 7 billion strangers in the world and not enough lies.
This weekend she was the hotel manager who fucked the owner. She was 21 again, her twist out falling down her neck as she told of Fridays at the hotel penthouse, licking her red lips as she gave details, his large palms, his warm tongue in her. He wasn't happily married of course, a wife was just something of necessity even if it had been 35 years. She had no regrets, she performed resurrections and enjoyed being his savior. She told how he sounded most alive during orgasms.
Her drunken companion today had a deep northern accent, he talked about living most of his life according to God's script, believed he was determinism's little puppet. Today he just wanted volition, the ninth bottle, and his hand around a strange woman's waist. The ring on his left rubbing against her dark skin. This weekend none of them would care.

Wednesday officially marked the first day of fall but, lets face it when Starbucks released everything pumpkin spice at the beginning of September it was a sign of the uggs and plaid shirts that would soon be seen everywhere. Although I do love me some of starbucks' fall drinks ( hello salted caramel hot chocolate, it was love at first sip) I have so say farewell to one of my favourite summer purchases.
I shopped at J. Crew for the first time this summer and though I didn't buy any clothing I did fall in love with these amazing sunglasses. I love the retro feel of the glasses and the classic shape of them which, I personally feel will never go out of style. The glasses were $27 and I have gotten so much wear out of them. I've never really been a sunglasses person so imagine my surprise when i found a pair that were not only super comfortable and fashionable but also ones that I actually wanted to wear.
I definitely think that everyone should checkout J.Crew for sunglasses. Just when you think all signs of summer are gone you may end up finding a pair that look amazing year round. Farewell summer me and my J.Crew glasses will see you next year.

We had THE most blessed Easter this year. It is difficult to write about now, but it helps to think back on the joy of that weekend. I don't have any pictures because I left my camera at home, which I am glad for now. Someone was looking out for me on that one.
On Holy Thursday we found out that we were pregnant with our second baby. I was always curious about how it would feel to find out that I was pregnant a second time. I wondered if it would be as magical as the first time. It was. And more. This time I had a more real idea of what it actually meant. I was overwhelmed with joy. What a way to start the most sacred days of the year. We were able to break the beautiful news to our families and spread the pure happiness that only new life can bring. And we will always be so grateful for that experience.
Our excitement was intense, but all too short. A week later I started to have some complications and we found out that we lost our precious little one. It feels weird to miss a baby that I only knew for a week, but I do. So much. Our lives are forever changed because of our second baby.
Michael and I are so sad for all of the experiences that we will never get to have with the little life God gave us, but we are happy that our angel will never feel any pain. She (pretty sure we would have had a girl) got to go straight to paradise. The end result that we all struggle for every day. She is already there. In the arms of her creator that needed her more than we did for one reason or another. And we have complete and undying trust in that reason.
I feel held together by all of the prayers of our friends and family. And as always, the incredible love of our Father.

"virus" in $RECYCLE.BIN
So, when I do a full/custom scan of my Z:\, or Z:\$RECYCLE.BIN, with MSE, it comes up with a few viruses.. Apparently. Don't really believe it.. But then again, why not?
I've tried to "remove" them with MSE, and it takes a few hours until it says "complete".. But right after, if I do a scan of the directory again, it comes up with the same ones.
How would I go about deleting the hidden OS folder $recycle.bin and zeroing the free space?

Would I only be able to scan the specific directory with the scan?
What would be the consequences of just deleting $RECYCLE.BIN from outside of windows?
|My System Specs

I don't believe $Recycle Bin can be remove using normal methods. You can wipe the $Recycle Bin by using CCleaner and it Wipe Free Space. When you remove something from your computer it goes to $Recycle Bin ready to be wrote over. Those things are still on your computer until they are wrote over by you using your computer in a normal fashion. When you wipe the free space you remove contents of $Recycle Bin. I have tried it and it worked for me.

Did you do what Jacee recommended? Is the $Recycle Bin empty now? Of you 600 gig of HD how much is being used? The reason I ask is 30 min is not much time to wipe free space. Did you let it complete it's wipe?
|My System Specs
|11 Jun 2012
I did a custom EST scan for the $recycle.bin.. and I let it go until I saw a few bits that MSE flagged, so I axed it. It didn't come up with anything.
Then I did some googling.. and it seemed to be fine enough to just hit delete on the folder. Did that, then had MSE scan it.. nothing found. Good.
And I did let ccleaner wipe all 600gb. 600/2000 gb free. It took a while, but it was finished. Now I'm just going to zero it again just to be safe. Thanks

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Hello dear Wardrobelooks.com readers, in today's post we want to show you Autumn-Winter season's great selection of women's knee high boots from the brands like Cynthia Rowley and Alice + Olivia. This footwear is a good option for easy to wear styles, that's why these boots look great with many outfits. Before we proceed viewing various options of possible styles we want to give you a few simple tips which for sure will help you rock it with any attire, starting from casual to office looks. Keep in mind that these boots come between mid-calf and the knee. That's the perfect hight for those ladies who want to tuck pants in their footwear or leave them out (the skinnies are usually tucked in while the boot cut pants are left out). Anyway, it's the right time to see possible outfit ideas combinations:
Those ladies who love wearing a bit girlish styles will definitely like the simple black top and flared skirt.
Those who love glitters will for sure team their boots with this kind of ensemble.
If it's quite cold outside, you can always try on a cosy sweater and a furry outerwear.
That's a classic office inspired style which is covered by a simple cape-cardigan.
A monochrome outfit will always look stylish teamed with knee high boots.
Those women who want to look a bit hippie, then we advice to try on a tee-dress teamed with casual brown knee highs.
A ruffled dress styled with cowboy boots.
If you are attending opera, then try on an embellished gown.

I'm not saying that personality isn't important. But personality enhances the look or detracts from it. It doesn't replace it. I cannot say, oh, this dude has a heart of Jesus so it's okay that he looks like taong grasa. I want guys who look like Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp..or Ian Somerhalder which I believe the hottest man living in the world hahaha!
At this point i must regrettably admit that i have dated some guys who are average looking or even below average looking (according to my close friends), but whom at that point of time i think were rather OK looking, due to terribly impaired judgement (or my friend's terribly impaired judgement), or complete loss of mind, either which i refuse to comment on.
Conclusion,my kind of guy is a CUTE GUY with load of MILLIONS on the bank.

Photovoltaic systems growing faster than other renewable sources
|(Nanowerk News) Photovoltaic power generation grew by 73 percent between 2007-08, making it the fastest growing source of alternative energy, Monica Oliphant, president of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), said upon her arrival in Delaware from Australia to attend the 2009 Karl Böer Solar Energy Medal of Merit ceremony at the University of Delaware on Thursday, May 7.
|The 2009 award will be presented to Hermann Scheer, a member of German Parliament, president of EUROSOLAR and chairperson of the World Council for Renewable Energy, at 3 p.m., in Gore Recital Hall of the Roselle Center for the Arts on UD's Newark, Del., campus. Those who plan to attend should RSVP to the Office of the Provost at [[email protected]].
|Monica Oliphant, president of the International Solar Energy Society, with Karl Böer, in whose honor the highly respected international honor is named.
|Oliphant said there are not many awards for scientists, especially for renewable energy, so the Böer award, which is given by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), an independent chapter of ISES, is highly respected around the world.
|Oliphant, who is also a board member of ISES and a member of the Böer award selection committee, said that Scheer stood out among all the applicants because of his role in developing and promoting the concept of feed-in tariffs, which pays up to three times the normal tariffs for photovoltaic energy that is fed into the grid in many countries.
|Because of that, Germany has moved to the forefront in the penetration of photovoltaic energy, Oliphant said. In the city of Freiburg, the penetration of photovoltaic systems is very high. You hardly see any house without a photovoltaic system because it is a good income earner.
|Feed-in tariffs have been accepted in about 70 countries and it has been the single greatest incentive for the penetration of photovoltaic systems around the world, Oliphant said.
|Oliphant lauded the recent announcement by UD President Patrick Harker that the University would install photovoltaic systems that would eventually generate 6 MW of electricity.
|I think it's a great initiative, It's really something special. It will be the first University in the world to generate such an amount of photovoltaic power, and it will offset quite a lot of carbon emissions, Oliphant said. It is also worth noting that a lot of photovoltaic systems, particularly thin film technology was developed at the University of Delaware at the IEC, which was started by Karl Böer.
|The medal and a cash award of $50,000, funded by the Karl W. Böer Solar Energy Medal of Merit Trust, is given every two years to an individual who has made significant pioneering contributions to the promotion of solar energy as an alternate source of energy through research, development or economic enterprise or to an individual who has made extraordinarily valuable and enduring contributions to the field of solar energy in other ways.
|The award is given in honor of Karl Wolfgang Böer, a longtime University of Delaware faculty member, founder of UD's Institute of Energy Conversion and a distinguished scientist in the field of solar cells.
|The recipient of the award is chosen by a panel of commissioners composed of scientists and presidents of several solar energy-related professional societies, a representative of the U.S. Secretary of Energy, the past recipient and a member of the Böer family.
|Scheer, who has been a member of the German Parliament since 1980, was named president of EUROSOLAR in 1988 and was made chairperson of the World Council for Renewable Energy in 2001.
|He has a doctorate in economic and social science from the Free University of Berlin.
|Scheer was an assistant professor at the Technical University of Stuttgart in the Faculty of Economics from 1972-78 and worked as a system analyst at the German Nuclear Research Centre from 1978-80.
|Since 1980, when he was first elected as a member of the German Parliament, he has served as chairperson of the Arms Control and Disarmament Committee and since 1983 has been delegated by the German Parliament to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. He also served as chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture between 1994 and 1997.
|Scheer holds two Doctor honoris causa, one from the Technical University of Varna (Bulgaria) and the other from the University of Luneburg (Germany).
|He has chaired as well as initiated numerous international research and development conferences, such as the first and second World Renewable Energy Forums in 2002 and 2004, the International Parliamentary Forum on Renewable Energy in 2004 and the World Renewable Energy Assembly in 2007.
|Scheer was awarded the World Solar Prize by the second World Conference on Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion in Vienna in 1998 and received the Alternative Nobel Prize in Stockholm in 1999.
|He was named Hero for the Green Century by Time magazine in 2002, received the Global Leadership Award from the American Council on Renewable Energy in 2004, the World Wind Energy Award from the World Wind Energy Conference in Beijing in 2004, and the SolarWorld Einstein Award by Solar World in 2005.
|The first Karl W. Böer Solar Energy Medal of Merit award was presented in 1993 to former President Jimmy Carter, who was cited as an individual who spurred development and focused world attention on solar energy.
|Other recipients of the Böer medal include:
|1995, David E. Carlson, vice president of the Thin Film Division of Solarex, an AMOCO subsidiary;
|1997, Adolf Goetzberger, founder of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems;
|1999, Stanford R. Ovshinsky, a pioneer in the science of amorphous semiconductors resulting in the development of low-cost, thin-film silicon solar cells;
|2001, Allen M. Barnett, a pioneer in high-performance, thin-crystalline silicon solar cells and currently senior scientist in UD's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering;
|2003, Martin A. Green, Inaugural Scientia Professor at the Centre for Photovoltaic Engineering in Sydney, Australia, and foundation director for the Centre for Third Generation University of New South Wales in Sydney;
|2005, Yoshihiro Hamakawa, adviser professor to the chancellor at Ritsumeikan University in Shiga, Japan, and a prominent scholar in the field of solar photovoltaic energy; and
|2007, Lawrence L. Kazmerski, director, U.S. Department of Energy's National Center for Photovoltaics and a pioneer and leader in the field of solar electricity.

Hollywall eLabel
Hollywall Entertainment has developed a digital distribution and verification system, "Hollywall DNA-Net", designed to maximize customer delivery, quality control, and revenues for artists, writers, content developers, authors, music performers, producers, publishers, composers, tv and video producers, copyright owners production supervisors, ("Artists").
The Hollywall DNA-Net functions as a repository for artists' works as well as an Electronic Digital Record Label, ("eLabel") through which they can market their work to interested parties either by shopping their works directly to consumer site members who have opted to accept such solicitations or by making their catalog of offerings available for potential licensees to browse.
The repository of the individual artist's works serves multiple purposes. First, it provides the artist with a safe off-site storage medium for their electronics works that is globally available to both the artist and their potential clientele. Second, the creation date and revision history of individual entries act as a proof of ownership in support of copyright for their works. Third, the repository acts as a catalog from which and through which interested parties can shop for resources for their respective projects.
At the core of the site's services to performers is its capacity to act as publisher and distributor to collect, re-sell and deliver their work product directly to consumers. As with artist accounts performers will be able to build an on-line repository of their work consisting of digital video, images and/or audio. The performer will be able to create repository entries for albums and collect artwork, videos and audio tracks in volumes and disks as part of the album. Performers will have full control over the repository with the ability to add, remove and modify offerings of their work at their discretion.
In addition, the site will serve as a valuable resource for performers through with they can obtain rights to lyrics, compositions, artwork and so-on upon which they can base their own work. Performers will be able to browse and search the repository of offerings from a broad collection of creative artists to locate works that interest them and meet their specific needs, negotiate terms and obtain a usage license interactively without the involvement of third parties. Once negotiated, the service will create a unique DigitalDNA strand for the license transfer and automatically assign that strand to any derivative works the performer creates by way of that license. Derivative works may be made up of multiple source licenses and may contain multiple strands accordingly and the system will automatically track to whom what equity interests are assigned as well as always ensuring that at no time does the combined equity interest in an offering exceed 100%.
Performers will be able to designate how each entry in their repository can be used including on-line play, downloading and CD-burning, internet radio/TV broadcasting, sub-licensing in derivative works (videos, movies, compilations, etc.), etc. In addition to controlling in what applications titles may be used, the performer will also be able to control prices according to use.
A core profit center for many performers rests within their merchandising of t-shirts, key chains, photographs and other similar items. The service will seek to leverage and expand this capacity for performers by integrating their merchandising into the distribution of their music, performance calendars, etc. through Hollywall's capacity to produce this sort of merchandise internally.

The Zingy Zander
"Shine some light, zingy zander,
Shine some light, chase away the night.
Nail some spark, zingy zander,
Nail some spark and it'll be alright."
Let's go boating.
I'll be everywhere, all the time
But you're not going to see me much
Yet you'll be staring at me.
Peon creates a peon.
I'm a peon.
Let's go swimming.
I'll brush against you at some point
You will think I wanted to hurt you
You'll think you have to chase me.
A slave creates a slave.
I'm a slave.
Let's go fishing.
I'll hunt fish from the darkest depths.
But you're never going to see me,
Yet you'll be hunting for me.
Monster creates a monster,
I'm a monster.
Let's go diving.
I'll have oxygen from all sides,
All the way to oversaturation.
You'll be using a snorkel.
Robot creates a robot,
I'm a robot.
Let's go drowning.
You'll be drowning loud, like in movies.
I will be drowning quietly.
You'll refuse to continue for me.
Wrong creates Wrong,
I'm wrong.
I'm wrong.
I'm wrong.
I'm horribly wrong.
Let's stop this tsunami.
I am back from the mermaid world.
I thought you had gone away.
Are you saying you're still with me?
I am.
I know!
"You're a still water fish, zingy zander,
A still water fish that survived the fight.
Follow the salty scent, zingy zander,
Follow the scent and it'll be alright."

Development of Zingy Zander
KFC totally needs to switch to fish and buy this name off me. Who needs Zinger when you can have Zingy Zander?
This poem started off in a way that makes no sense, whatsoever. A couple of months before my strong insulin resistance was finally discovered, I watched a bizarre fishing show on Discovery Science. A man went for alleged gigantic mutant catfish and all he found, days later, were zanders. Sure, zander meat is yummy - ask me how I feel about a meal called Smuđ Orli, but eating zanders from the most lethal pond in the world, or any place mistaken for that pond and/or assumed to be close to that pond, is a death sentence. Everything in there is toxic, the zander that willingly or unwillingly bit has got to be so lethal that even pointing at it would mean risking your life.
But the Zingy Zander can survive anything and everything... becoming tougher to a random observer, yet realising it's a monster, created by another monster - who may be the alleged catfish, the fisherman, both or none.
I didn't like this poem.
It was sort of, plus it looked too much like a late addition to Wrong Star. At that point, everything I wrote was extremely unpleasant and eventually, I stopped publishing my poems on here or showing them to anybody. It's not like they were finished, for that matter. They were bits and pieces and this is actually the first time I patched bits and pieces of things written at different times, hence three different dates. Somehow, it allowed for four different POVs in the poem - one at its very beginning, one at its very end and the ones switching.
It was only when it was almost done that I realised that I sent the zander to the sea or the ocean, hence adding another verse and the fourth POV. And the fourth POV led me to realisation to whose POV opened the poem.
And now that I have seen mean, whatever it may be, I don't think this is mean. When books are closed or just flicked through, when the pages owned cannot form a clearer pictur3, one inevitably makes assumptions and can be right or wrong. When books are open and one is harsh, then one is mean. Evil. Rude. Destructive. Take that as you will.
The mermaid world may matter, may not matter at all. It may be the cause for the wordy character's detachment that led to the zander's own detachment, but it does not have to be.
The character giving orders may have led the zander to some bizarre kind of folie a deux - as zander itself more or less remarks, or they may have not.
The zander may be deprived of basic things - whether it's emotionally towards the other character, materially in comparison to the other character -, inexperienced in general, or maybe both, but it definitely does not understand the sea and it may or may not be that its lethal toxicity helps it survive.
The other character may have singled out the zander at the very ending, or they may have not.
The last thing zander says may be a response to a specific sentence, or not.
Many thanks to Maria Gloria and Joe for the contrasts that inspire the part about zander ending up in what appears to be the sea or ocean and many thanks to Bry for the conversation that ultimately led me to finishing this.

We never do find out just what the hero of the tale is going to do with his dead souls. Perhaps this was included in the section of the second volume that the author burnt shortly before his death. Incidentally, the burning of the papers means that the last chapter in the book pretty much makes no sense, as there is much character development and twists that are lost, and I wouldn't recommend reading it for this reason. In the main however, the book is a treat as we follow the central character around the Russian countryside visiting various outlandish land owners, trying to bargain for their dead peasants. It is funny, not in a laugh out loud and drop the book way, but in a witty kind of way, and the time passes quickly as we read through.
One of the pleasures of reading older works of literature and those from a foreign culture is the discovery of unknown phrases and wording that one is not used to seeing. My favourite discovery in this case was that land owners in Russia in the 19th Century apparently all spoke like Hulk Hogan, frequently calling each other "Brother". Other things that caught my eye were:
- Here the tutor turned all his attention on Themistoclus and seemed to want to jump into his eyes
- A mention of spontaneous human combustion: "He got burnt up on his own, my dear. It somehow caught fire inside him, he drank too much, just this little blue flame came out of him, and he smoldered, smoldered, and turned black as coal."
- "Dead people around the house! Eh, that's going a bit far! Maybe just to frighten sparrows in your kitchen garden at night or something?"
- "Am I some kind of German, to go dragging myself over the roads begging for money?"
- "That rascal of a cook, who learned from a Frenchman, buys a cat, skins it, and serves it instead of hare."
- He fell asleep soundly, deeply, fell asleep in the wondrous way that they alone sleep who are so fortunate as to know nothing of hemorrhoids, or fleas, or overly powerful mental abilities.
- How nothing really changes in the world: "Of course, the female half of mankind is a puzzle."
- "He should have taken after his grandmother on his mother's side, that would have been best, but he came out just as the saying goes: 'Not like mother, not like father, but like Roger the lodger.'"
- A couple of descriptions for ugly people:
- Some had faces like badly baked bread
- Only the quantity of pocks and pits that mottled it included it in the number of those faces on which, according to the popular expression, the devil comes at night to thresh peas.
- Finally he sniffed out his home and family life, and learned that he had a grown-up daughter whose face also looked as if the threshing of peas took place on it nightly.
- His handwriting was of the sort of which people say, "A magpie wrote it with her claw, and not a man."
- A wobbly crone who looked like a dried pear...
- Quicker than a crop-headed wench can braid her hair.
- Through his open mouth and the nostrils of his nose it began producing sounds as such do not exist even in the latest music. Everything was there - drum, flute, and some abrupt sound, like a dog's barking.
- "If all you want is to get rich quickly, then you'll never get rich; but if you want to get rich without asking about the time, then you'll get rich quickly."
- The Russian man, even one who is worse than others, still has a sense of justice. Unless he's some sort of Jew, and not a Russian.

If you have your heart set on a OnePlus X handset and don't particularly mind an open-box or refurbished unit, then India's Overcart is promising units just for you - as low as INR 12,799 (about 170).
The devices in question are the cheaper Onyx version and as expected prices and conditions will vary. However, they all come with a six-month manufacturer warranty from OnePlus, bringing some extra reassurance to the deals.
The sale itself will start on February 15 at precisely 2PM and as an extra bonus, you can also register over at the Overcart website for a notification beforehand. If this sounds a little sketchy to you, there is always the option to buy a brand new one from OnePlus, now invite-free, but it will cost you around $250 and even more in euro - 270.
Lenovo k4 note, may not be as good , but still a good 1
Better phones? For this price? Just tell me one, I can't tell anything that comes close to it.

I finally caught up with one near Mysore in early February. I was quite struck by how distinctive it was, and how different from Indian and Jerdon's, although it wasn't exactly what I was expecting! Quite small, compact, with rounded head and bill shape and little rise to the forehead; very unobtrusive in behaviour. Less distinct face pattern than Jerdon's, with supercilium yellowish, thin and most noticeable behind eye, ear coverts contrastingly warm brown; crown and nape clearly greyish and contrasting with rather warm mantle and wings. Strangely reminded me of a winter Lapland Bunting, both in plumage and behaviour! The white outer tail was very obvious in flight.
These three images are from a return visit to the same site where I found five in exactly the same place. (Also Indian and Jerdon's in the same area for a nice trio!) Had prolonged views this time. Interestingly, when flushed they always flew separately for a short distance, landing on the ground and never on bushes, and never calling. One of the photos shows the distinctive white outer tail feathers. The breast streaking is more prominent than typically described. - MP

2016 Toyota RAV4 SE AWD
2016 Toyota RAV4 SE AWD
Thanks to its combination of performance, technology, and utility, it's easy to see why the Toyota RAV4 is such a popular crossover.
The Toyota RAV4 is a perennially popular small crossover that has traditionally ranked just behind the top-selling Honda CR-V in the high-volume segment. For 2016, the RAV4 gets updated styling, including a slicker front fascia, as well as overall sharper handling. A new Toyota Safety Sense package available on the Limited and SE models (the latter is reviewed here) includes a full complement of driver-assist technologies. With its excellent utility, admirable performance, and user-friendly technology, it's easy to see why the Toyota RAV4 is such a popular car.
How Much?
Pricing for the 2016 RAV4 starts at $24,350 for the base LE model and goes up to $31,510 for the Limited and $33,610 for the Limited Hybrid. The RAV4 SE AWD we tested has a base sticker price of $30,665; with $5,457 in options and a delivery processing and handling fee of $900, the final sticker is $37,022.
What Does It Come With?
The Toyota RAV4 SE we tested comes with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. It pumps out 178 horsepower, which is channeled to all four wheels via a 6-speed transmission. The car also comes with a sport-tuned suspension, Eco and Sport modes, paddle shifters, 18-inch alloy wheels, a height-adjustable power liftgate, a powered moon roof, roof rails, heated outside mirrors, and LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights.
Standard interior features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, heated and power front seats, dual-zone climate control, a rearview camera, three months of SiriusXM satellite radio, a Scout GPS Link navigation app, a USB port, reclining and fold-flat rear seats, and an SE-badged sport shift knob, floor mats, and door sill protectors.
The $3,030 Advanced Technology Package includes a suite of driver-assist systems under the heading of Toyota Safety Sense. These comprise a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, auto high beams, adaptive cruise control, a bird's-eye view camera with perimeter scan, and front and rear parking sensors. The package also adds the Entune Premium JBL Audio system with 11 speakers, a 7-inch in-dash touch screen, the Entune App Suite, AM/FM HD Radio, aux-in and USB ports, Bluetooth for phone and audio, HD Radio traffic and weather info, and navigation.
Other options include a $600 two-tone paint treatment, a $499 remote start, $129 mud guards, a $185 interior light kit, $315 roof rack crossbars, $395 paint protection film, $239 all-weather floor and cargo area liners, and $65 wheel locks.

The Iowa State University Extension explains one way to differentiate between a spruce tree and a pine tree is to look at the needles. Spruce needles grow directly from a branch individually, and pine needles grow in bunches of two, three or five. Also, the bark of a spruce tree is rough rather than smooth, which sets them apart from fir trees.
The needles of spruce trees are sharp, pointed and square. One reliable way to identify a spruce tree is to take a needle and roll it between two fingers. If the needle rolls easily between the fingers, it is a spruce tree. Fir tree needles are flat, are soft and don't roll easily between fingers.
Spruce needles are attached to their branches with stalk-like projections. When the tree sheds its needles, these projections remain on the tree. The color and length of needles aren't reliable indicators for identifying spruce trees because these characteristics vary.
Cones of spruce trees are long and flexible rather than rigid. The scales on spruce tree cones are thinner and less woody than those on pine trees. These cones grow to between 8 and 26 inches long, and their size varies from tree to tree.

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ With a forecast predicting heavy rain and thunderstorms for Saturday (Sept. 12) evening Wall Stadium Speedway officials have announced that the scheduled auto racing events have been cancelled. The rainout is the first that the third mile paved oval has suffered since June 20.
When action resumes this Saturday night (Sept. 19) a gigantic card of events is on tap in addition to the scheduled "Fan Appreciation Night" festivities. The centerpiece of the evening will be an on-track party where fans are invited to walk down on the speedway to check out the racecars and take photos with and get autographs from all the drivers in competition.
The Downs Ford Modifieds will lead the racing action in a 40-lap main event while the Snap-on Sportsman cars, the Elite Maintenance Limited Late Models, the Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars, the Green Monster Insulation 4 Cylinder Stocks, the O'Shea's Auto Repairs Factory Stocks and the ATQMRA TQ Midgets will all see action.
Tight point races in all stock car divisions are all up for grabs with the final night of regular season races then set for September 26.
With the "On-Track Party" up first, the evening will see grandstand seating opening at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying beginning at 5:30 p.m. and main event racing will follow.
Saturday will also be special as Wall Stadium joins Legend Cars driver Mitchell Dowd in a shoe drive to support the "In Ian's Boots" charity. Both fans and competitors are asked to clean out their shoe rooms and closets of lightly worn or new shoes and boots of any kind including men's, women's and children's. Sports shoes are also accepted. Shoes and boots will be collected in the pit area and the grandstand midway. More information on the charity and the distribution of these boots and shoes to the needy is available at iniansboots.org.
Weekly stock car racing and championship points awarding events will conclude on September 26. The "Spooky Spectacular" is then set for Saturday October 24 and the annual "Turkey Derby" will be presented on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.
Wall Stadium Speedway is located on Route 34 in Wall Township, N.J., just one mile north of Garden State Parkway exit 98 and Interstate 195 exit 35B. More information can be obtained by visiting www.wallspeedway.com. The speedway hotline number is 732-681-6400 and email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
