The shock over the premature demise of Paul Walker led to an outpouring of emotion from friends, family and fans alike. Fanatics of the high octane franchise Fast & Furious continue to mourn Walker's death, as preparations for the star's private funeral service continue.
Walker was tragically killed in a car accident on Nov. 30 – an event that also claimed the life of friend and business ally Roger Rodas, who was said to be at the wheel of the vehicle. The pair were traveling through Santa Clarita, California, in a Carrera GT Porsche when it careened out of control and subsequently impacted a light pole.
The chairman of Universal Pictures, Donna Langley, recently announced the studio would be donating some of the proceeds from the DVD, Blu-ray and digital release sales of their 2013 blockbuster hit Fast and Furious 6 to Walker's nonprofit charity, Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW).
In addition, a number of fans have been planning tribute events dedicated to the illustrious Takers actor. 18-year-old Lorenzo Garcia recently organized a charitable cruise – kicking off at Lansdowne Mall in Richmond – with a fitting denouement that showcased the very first Fast & Furious movie at Autoform Performance in Vancouver. On the team's Facebook site, they claim to have generated a sum total of $1,320, which is set to be donated to the Canadian Red Cross.
With a slew of charitable events, tributes and memorials taking place to mourn Walker's loss, we thought it would be fitting to celebrate the man's life. Here, we briefly cover some of the movie icon's best moments.
The 'Lopez Tonight' Appearance
Paul Walker came across as a reserved individual and held his family's wellbeing and privacy with the utmost regard. However, he seemed to approach every situation with a warm smile and his humor consistently shone through.
When he made an appearance on the Lopez Tonight show, on May 5. 2011, Walker was able to demonstrate his comedic prowess, in all of its endearing glory.
Paul Walker's Interview with Empire Magazine
During one of Walker's last interviews with Empire Magazine, he described, what he perceived to be, two different varieties of people that approached him – the "fans" and the "celebrity freaks." He then went on to encapsulate his personal love for his die-hard fans, especially the ones that called him by his Fast & Furious character name Brian.
Walker also talked about some of the incredibly ambitious action sequences featured in the film, and his astonishment upon learning that film Director Justin Lin had planned their inclusion.
The Vin Diesel Impersonation
Walker, again, shows his funny side in the next clip, as he attempts a rather poor (albeit humorous) impersonation of Fast & Furious co-star, and mighty Riddick actor, Vin Diesel. Donning a muscle suit and makeshift bald cap, Walker desperately tries to contain his laughter.
The "It's Diesel time" catchphrase is also a nice touch.
Paul Walker Blooper Compilation
The next Paul Walker blooper compilation shows the 40-year-old was as much of a joker onset, as he was behind the scenes. The reel shows the stars of the Fast & Furious franchise laughing, joking and playfully teasing one another. A few of the famous faces from the clip include Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Jordana Brewster.
Walker's unorthodox laugh, during the clip's conclusion, is, undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the entire comedy montage.
ROWW Foundation
Of course, Walker's charitable contributions were many and varied, and certainly cannot be placed into the bracket of a singular "best moment." Reflecting back on some of the remarkable accomplishments he has achieved, it becomes glaringly obvious that he was a profoundly passionate and altruistic individual.
Walker was famously quoted as having articulated the following sentiments:
"When you put good will out there it is amazing what can be accomplished."
Frankly, Walker was a man that walked the walk and delivered on his promises, having taken a hands-on approach to a number of ROWW projects. In addition, the actor previously earned EMT certification and had even expressed a desire to train as a paramedic.
ROWW is a nonprofit foundation that was established by Walker in 2009, instituted with the primary ambition of offering humanitarian aid to disaster-struck countries across the globe. The California-based team comprises of volunteer EMTs, doctors, nurses, paramedics, firefighters and construction workers.
In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, ROWW dispatched first responders to the devastated region. The charitable organization is also known for conducting relief efforts in Chile, Indonesia, the Philippines, and a number of locations throughout the United States.
Thankfully, the actor's legacy will endure. According to J.D. Dorfman, ROWW's operations manager, the support the organization has received in recent days "… has been overwhelming." In the wake of Walker's death, Dorfman recently told E! Online that they have been inundated with calls from the community, offering their assistance; meanwhile, others have expressed their desire to hold car rallies to raise money for the foundation.
The Dark Comedy Moment
Naturally, actors are bound to compare contracts and working conditions to their counterparts. This competitive spirit, however, was taken to an entirely different level when Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris confronted Walker, on set, over the size of his trailer.
In a moment of scripted comedy, Walker indignantly explains that the pair were merely "visitors," prompting a retaliatory move on behalf of Ludacris. The hysterical scenes that follow, thereafter, are perhaps best watched.
And in drawing a close to Paul Walker's best moments, the official tribute video from the Fast & Furious team provides a fitting and highly emotional conclusion:

Nintendo is a massive and endlessly complex game developer and publisher. Back in 2015, before the world even knew the Switch was a thing and the Wii U was setting in as a disappointment, Nintendo underwent a major restructuring of their entire company. Tatsumi Kimishima was the President of Nintendo from 2015 until July 2018 (he's being succeeded by Shuntaro Furukawa this summer) and during this time he not only oversaw the design and development of the Nintendo Switch, which began under the late Satoru Iwata, but orchestrated Nintendo's massive restructuring efforts.
Way back in the early 1970s, Nintendo created Nintendo Research and Development, which originally focused on physical toy R&D (the spirit of which lives on to this day with Nintendo Labo) but they began looking into video game development early on in the next decade. Their first massive hit, Donkey Kong, jettisoned the success of the company as a video game developer. The arcade title was Directed by Shigeru Miyamoto, who would go on to be considered one of the greatest game makers in history. Nintendo R&D continued making arcade games all while assisting on the development of the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System which was released in 1983. Nintendo R&D made software that would go down in history, specifically games in the Metroid series. Nintendo created Nintendo R&D2 in 1972, which developed various games, specifically the Super Mario Advanced series in the early 2000s. Nintendo R&D3 was meant to focus more on hardware development, and was eventually changed into Nintendo Integrated Research and Development. Nintendo R&D 4 was created in the early 1980s and was designed to grow around Miyamoto and foster his creativity – they became known for developing early games in now revered series like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., F-Zero, Star Fox and more. It was renamed Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development (EAD) in 1989, just before the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released.
Beginning in the early 2000s until 2015, the majority of Nintendo's development teams were restructured and subsequently housed under the EAD umbrella, fractured into eight distinct software development groups. These groups predictably worked on specific franchises, split between five teams in Kyoto, two in Tokyo and the Technology Development Department that made things like software development kits, the Wii Fit Balance Board and Wii Motion Plus. In Kyoto, Software Development Group No. 1 made Mario Kart and Nintendog games, No. 2 focused on the "Wii" series of games like Wii Sports and Wii Play and Wii Music along with the Animal Crossing series, No. 3 was the Zelda team, No. 4 had Pikmin and New Super Mario Bros. and No. 5 was responsible for Wii Fit and the Steel Diver series. The Tokyo offices also had a Software Development Group No. 1 which made Super Mario Galaxy and the 3DS Zelda remakes, and No. 2 which worked on Super Mario 3D games and the NES Remix series.
In addition to Nintendo EAD, there was the Nintendo Software Planning and Development (SPD) division, which both developed games and system software following the dissolution of the Nintendo Research and Development groups in 2003. Nintendo SPD had four production groups: Production Group No. 1 focused largely on WarioWare games, No. 2 made puzzle and brain development games like Tetris DS and Brain Age 2 and assisted on development on games in the Pokémon, Fire Emblem and Xenoblade series'. No. 3 oversaw the development of Metroid Prime, Battalion Wars, Paper Mario, Donkey Kong Country and more. No. 4 worked on Mario Party, Donkey Kong and Wii Party games. Then Nintendo's SPD division also had a Software Development and Design Department, which made Brain Age games along with User Interface development, meaning they helped develop the UI for handhelds and consoles.
Even with all of these groups, Nintendo had more developers in their ranks located elsewhere – these have remained largely intact in the same forms following the recent restructuring in 2015. There's 1-UP, which has worked on the Mother series as well as assisted in development on major Mario titles. Monolith Soft famously develops the Xenoblade and Xenosaga games. Nd Cube mostly makes party games, specifically Mario Party games. Retro Studios developed the Metroid Prime trilogy of games as well as Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (which has just been re-released for the Switch). HAL Laboratory has worked on Kirby and Super Smash Bros. games. GameFreak and Creatures have famously created the Pokémon games. Countless second- and third-party developers have also created games exclusively for Nintendo systems, like PlatinumGames making Bayonetta 2, Star Fox Zero and The Wonderful 101 for the Wii U, Bandai Namco leading development on Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, and Ubisoft making Red Steel for the Wii, ZombiU for the Wii U and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for the Switch.
This all leads us to 2015, when Nintendo restructured their entire hardware and software development pipeline and merged it into three major departments: Entertainment Planning and Development (EPD), Platform Technology Development (PTD) and Nintendo Business Development (NBD). The EPD is a massive software division mostly located in their Kyoto offices and was the primary result of the merging of Nintendo EAD and SPD divisions. They've been responsible for the majority of the first-party content Nintendo has created since their inception, including games like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Run, Splatoon 2, Metroid: Samus Returns, Nintendo Labo and more. The teams within EPD are various and undisclosed, meaning there's no telling exactly how many games they may be working on at this very moment. Of course, their teams are still separate in an operational sense, as there's a team led by Eiji Aonuma that focuses on Zelda, a team with Yoshiaki Koizumi at the helm that recently produced Super Mario Odyssey and so on.
Nintendo PTD combined Nintendo Integrated Research and Development and Nintendo System Development to form a hardware production powerhouse that was responsible for designing the Switch and future Nintendo devices. Nintendo NBD is responsible for the business side of the company and have recently focused efforts into mobile games development. Nintendo also has international divisions, including the Nintendo of America headquarters in Redmond Washington, Nintendo of Europe headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, Nintendo of Australia in Melbourne and more. These groups not only handle marketing and logistics for each country, they also have development teams that work alongside Nintendo's Japanese development teams, though it's unclear what they help with specifically.
What this all boils down to is this: Nintendo is massive. They've always had sprawling development teams, making them the largest software developer in video games for decades now and they continue to grow. Sometimes their development teams have been discrete and easily identifiable, but now they've brought everything together, and essentially all software development is handled under the EPD umbrella, though it is scattered across several countries. Their hardware and business divisions are naturally separate, but are still highly integrated with their software teams.
This restructuring largely came about because of two reasons: Nintendo suffered some heavy blows during the Wii U era and they recognized that half of their development teams were focused on console software development while the other half worked on handheld software development. With this merging came the physical blending of consoles and handhelds in the Switch. Naturally, now their handheld is their console and their console is their handheld, meaning the teams are now one and the same. They continue to support the 3DS and will do so through 2019 and perhaps even 2020, but the Switch is their future.
This restructuring was necessary to allow Nintendo to further streamline their development processes and it appears to have worked beautifully. We don't know how long this structure will last, but it's off to a strong start allows for extreme flexibility on Nintendo's part, ultimately resulting in quality first-party software coming in a routinely timely fashion. They still have a multitude of second-party developed games in the oven and their third-party support hasn't been this good since the SNES days. Only time will tell if Nintendo will continue to thrive, but if there's one thing we've learned for certain: you can never count Nintendo out. Keep an eye out for our upcoming article on the state of Nintendo's development teams, but for now, have a look at The State of Sony's Development Teams and The State of Microsoft's Development Teams.

Lovely It was good to connect with the lovely Elaine again. After being dumped very suddenly a couple of days previously, Elaine foresaw that he would be back in contact after a handful of weeks. No news yet but I remain hopeful! Thank you Elaine xx

Did you know that even Napoleon had Tarot card readings? Back in 1842 the famous ruler would have the Tarot cards read for him by the Tarot reader Mademoiselle Lenormand, who would frequently give him Tarot readings before he made important decisions. Tarot is one of the oldest tools of divination, originating in Italy in the 14th century. The art of predicting fate from the Tarot cards has survived to modern day. Nowadays there are hundreds of different Tarot card decks to choose from that can be used for all imaginable purposes and subjects. There are usually 78 Tarot cards in a Tarot card deck, which is separated into two parts: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Tarot readers will usually lay the Tarot cards out in a "spread" to respond to your questions about relationships, finance, work etc. They then "interpret" the energies of the cards and explain how these affect you. Tarot readings are excellent for general readings and specific questions. A Tarot reading will show you the path you're you on and can make you feel free. If you would like to try out a Tarot reading, then you can prepare yourself for it so that you get the most out of your Tarot reading. Ideally you should write down your questions that you would like to ask the Tarot before your Tarot reading. Do you have a yes/no question or a question about a decision? Or would you prefer the aid of the Tarot cards to give you more of a general overview on your current situation? Perhaps you have a question concerning your relationship or your career? Remember to think about what kind of information you would like the person who is reading the Tarot cards to convey to you. If you wish for the Tarot to also give you time specifications then tell this to your Tarot card reader. The more prepared you are for your Tarot reading, the more exact the answers will be. Take the wonderful opportunity to have a Tarot reading and let the past be explained, the present identified and the future prophesised. And finally a good tip: don't ask the Tarot cards the same question or topic too often — after all you wouldn't constantly ask a good friend the same question. Use the Tarot cards with respect and you will receive the answers that can really bring you further in life!
The word 'clairvoyant' means 'spirit-seeing' ('clair' = spirit, 'voyant' = to see). A clairvoyant reader is able to receive information about someone by psychic ability, without cards or any other tool. The reader may see 'guides' or people from spirit and will mostly just sense or know information about you and your life. Clairvoyance has been around for centuries as the desire to gain psychic insight into other dimensions and to experience things that we would otherwise not be able to with our usual five senses. There were people in nearly every culture who were particularly sensitive and receptive in a spiritual sense. It was said that these people possessed special interpretative skills. One famous example is the oracle at Delphi, where the psychic priestess Pythia was able to relay prophecies about the future, while in a state of trance. Some clairvoyants have had the psychic gift of clairvoyance since their birth and can access this secret psychic knowledge without the help of other means such as the Tarot. This psychic intuition can sometimes manifest itself pictorially or on a spiritual level but a clairvoyant is different to a medium, who contacts the spirits of people who have passed. There are many resources that can facilitate clairvoyance such as the crystal ball, a pendulum, dream analysis or palmistry. Psychic clairvoyants may also know white magic or the well-know ancient Chinese system of I Ching, which predicts future events and our life's journey. Fortune telling is the ability to see into the future or to predict certain events in the future, whereas a clairvoyant can see things that are otherwise hidden to others. Clairvoyants are also able to use their psychic ability to find misplaced objects or missing persons. You can use clairvoyance when you need information, which you otherwise wouldn't be able to get, or if you want to know how to solve a complicated or difficult situation, like you would use the Tarot. You can confide in a clairvoyant and really open up to them, and a clairvoyant reading is excellent for general readings as well as those on specific areas or questions. You will always get an immediate and clear answer from a clairvoyant. You don't need to reveal your date of birth or provide any other personal details. Clairvoyance is an ideal opportunity to quickly get the answers you seek, especially when it comes to questions regarding the future.
Spirituality readers deal with matters of the spirit, matters of our nature and purpose beyond the material world, senses and time.
Clairaudience (fr. clair = clear and audience = hearing) is a form of extra-sensory perception where the clairaudient receives information by paranormal auditory means. A form of clairvoyance, clairaudience means that the clairaudient has paranormal hearing as opposed to paranormal seeing (clairvoyance). A clairaudient may not experience actual perception of sound but may refer to impressions of the "inner mental ear". This is similar to the way people think words but don't actually hear them. Clairaudience can also mean that the clairaudient can actually hear noises, voices and tones that other people cannot hear and cannot be picked up on recording instruments either. For example a clairaudient may claim to hear voices or thoughts from the spirits of the deceased.
Clairsentience (fr. clair = clear and sentience = feeling) is a form of extra-sensory perception where a person acquires psychic knowledge by means of feeling. A clairsentient is generally a person who can feel the movement of other people. There are many different degrees of clairsentience and a clairsentient can pick up on the thoughts and emotions of other people or become aware of the general well-being of other people. They however do not possess a third eye as they can only have a vivid feeling as opposed to a vivid picture in the mind.
All of us have one or more Spirit Guides who watch over us and are able to help or 'guide' us through our lives so we have the opportunity to learn what we are here to learn. Our Guides do not force us nor are they with us watching every move we make and hearing every thing we say. Most of us are not aware of their presence and what they are wanting to tell us. Readers can tune into your Guides and often tell you a little about who they are and why they are with you. Using their clairvoyant skills they can pick up on information to pass on to you. Readers will tell you whatever information they are given and you can also ask any questions you may have. Our Spirit Guides come in all shapes and sizes and they are definitely not all Egyptian Priests or Native American Indian chiefs. Sometimes they can be children, animals or a relative who have passed over.
Career readers are experienced in dealing with questions regarding careers and career paths. They can help guide us with decisions that we are making, what may happen in the future and help us understand this particular course or progress in our lives.

So I decided to apply for a job. Whilst on maternity leave. With a 4 month old baby. Maybe was pushing my luck a bit and to be honest now feel absolutely drained as I worked ridiculously hard for it. And I don't just mean writing copious amounts of brightly highlighted notes and talking to myself for hours whilst rehearsing my answers. (There were a few confused kids, let me tell you, 'Mum, who are you talking to?') There's also the hours I spent pumping breast milk that the baby decided he didn't want anyway.
Anyway, moving swiftly on, I thought I would talk about my attempt at a professional looking make up look that says, 'You need me for this job!'
These are the products I used….
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation
- A great every day foundation with a good range of shades.
- So quick, so pretty, so easy.
- Gives me brows I don't actually have
Collection Nude Eyeshadow palette
- Love this when I want a quick respectable eye look
Maybelline Lash SensationMascara
- My fave.
- Well, I was hot and flustered but my make up managed to survive without sliding off my face. So that was a success. Unlike me at interview. Never mind, it was a good experience and I remain disappointed but not defeated. Better luck next time I hope!

Please I'm using AMD Athlon 64 X2 Socket AM2(940) on [b]HP Compaq DC5750 motherboard.
I found out that the]AMD Phenom X4 940 CPU is compatible with[b] AM2 socket and I want to ask, is it possible to upgrade the old Athlon 64 X2 to Phenom X4 940 CPU. And if it's not possible please help me choose a compatible CPU. Thank You
Please list your complete system specs & your reason for wanting a CPU upgrade. Your system is outdated so it's not worth throwing too much money at it. Based on the factory specs, the CPU is the least of your performance problems. If no other upgrades have been made, the CPU should be low on the priority list. There are other issues that should be addressed 1st. But to answer your question, the Phenom X4 is NOT supported. The CPU support list can be found here, see page 7:
Are you running Win7 32-bit or 64-bit? Do you have at least 4GB RAM? Do you have a video card installed or are you using onboard graphics? If it's a card, is it a modern one or one of the original Radeon X1xxx series cards? Has the power supply been upgraded? What about the hard drive?
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.50GHZ Socket AM2 (940)
on-board 128mb ati radeon xpress 1150
Windows 8.1 32bit
Please these are the specs of my system
There's no point in upgrading the CPU. If anything, invest in a graphics card & more RAM. According to Crucial, your system supports up to 8GB RAM (4 x 2GB). But since you're running a 32-bit OS, 4GB is the max.
As for the graphics - even the cheapest cards available are better than the onboard X1150. Here's a Radeon HD 5450 for under $25:
The above is a decent general purpose card; great for everyday use & HD videos. If you want to get into gaming, you'll most likely have to upgrade the power supply to be able to handle the requirements of a gaming card.

Thanks very much Rider. But please I want to ask one more question. can I use 8GB RAM when I'm running 64bit OS and also please suggest a gaming graphics card and a power supply that can power up that Video card. Than You.

The voting for the award was done by coaches, team captains and media men from FIFA nations. Just like in the UEFA award, it was the first time, there is a new name on
The Best FIFA Men's Player trophy. Cristiano Ronaldo won the previous two awards. Modric has shown the world that he deserved a place at the podium due to his outstanding display at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia with Croatia and with Real Madrid at the UEFA Champion League
The Croatian was the metronomic lynchpin at the heart of Los Blancos midfield throughout the 2017/18 campaign. As FIFA.com noted, "Modric's tireless running, key goals and outstanding leadership qualities helped guide Croatia to the final against France, his nation's finest performance at the global finals."
While Lennart took home the FIFA Fair Play Award, Brazilian Marta was named The Best FIFA Women's Player.
All the FIFA Best are:
- Men's Player: Luka Modric
- Women's Player: Marta
- Men's Coach: Didier Deschamps
- Women's Coach: Reynald Pedros
- Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois
- Puskás Award: Mo Salah
- Fan Award: Peru supporters

Apparently, true love no longer exist but rather something as simple as "Relationship goals". No longer are the days of wowing your spouse with your personality and genuine heart. It has now resulted to great looking pictures that gives off the image of a perfect relationship. SAVE THAT BULL FOR SOMEONE ELSE!
Images can prove to be false and so is many of today's relationships. Here are a few reason's why your relationship sucks but you won't admit it.
- Your boyfriend has no money but he always looks good.
- Your girlfriend has one too many kids.
- You look good in pictures but secretly want to break up
- There is only one bread winner in the relationship and you're tired of paying for everything.
- There is only one car in the relationship and only you pay the damn car note.
- Your spouse has not taken you out on a real date in three months.
- You really can't deal with the baby mama/daddy issues although you thought you could.
- His/Her lack of stability has turned you completely off.
- You're pretty much celibate in your relationship because you would rather have sex with someone else.
Anything here sound way to familiar for your own good? The big question is "Why won't you admit it". The answer is very simple. It's because you have not admitted it out loud. Of course you don't want others to judge you and think your picture perfect relationship is not…..perfect. Really! You told yourself that you had grown and you would not be petty and give him/her a real chance. Bump that! Chance up! I'm tired! I quit! How long is this going to take? Why don't you have a real job yet? Do I have to pay for our next date?
People often say dating is hard. I say being with someone who you "Love" but can do nothing for you is much harder. You tell me if I'm wrong.

Looking for a set of pipes for my Mustang, 65 with 351w.
This car is currently running the 1 5/8" Primary Hedman Shorty headers, with twin 3" Mandrel bent exhaust, with X member, and hooker mufflers. It is 418ci, makes power to about 6800rpm, and runs 11.1 on the 1/4, in street trim, on DOT tires, with full exhaust. It has a 950hp Holley carb, Super Victor manifold and Edelbrock Victor Junior alloy heads. It is full weight, steel panels etc etc. C4, 4300rpm convertor, 3.5 gears, 26" tyre. 5800rpm over the finish line
I feel the headers are slowing it down, I assume something like this should have a bigger primary, and tuned length.
Summit Racing list a Hooker 6208 1 3/4" primary tuned length header. I can't see it here though.
Has anyone used these before? Do they fit OK? Do they offer easier access to the rear driver side plugs than the Hedmans? The Hedmans fit great everywhere, but the rear driver pipe goes up & over, and have no room to change the plug, with the master cylinder/booster in the way.
I have problems with the quality of another set of Hookers, are they generally good? Did I just buy a dud set? (ref my other post here).

mansfieldtown.net reports that Mansfield Town will be lodging an appeal against the red card issued to Iyseden Christie during Saturday's defeat at Swansea. Christie, who picked up a straight red after just 7 minutes, denies categorically using foul and abusive language which is what was said at the time of his dismissal. His story, which is confirmed by the fourth official, is that whilst waiting for the ball to be played into the Swans third, defender Enzomo Iriekpen ran around the back of Christie and grabbed out at his face putting two fingers into his mouth. Christie, attempting to shake him free, was as bemused as everybody else when referee Lee Probert produced the Red Card.
Teamtalk.com reports that the FA is awaiting the referee's match report before deciding whether to launch an investigation into Mansfield's ugly clash at Swansea. An FA spokesman said: "With the match having been played on Saturday, we expect the referee's report on Tuesday and will take it from there."
mansfieldtown.net reports Keith Curle announced today that he has spoken to Dave Artell and explained to him that his future at Field Mill depends solely on finances.
"Dave knows the situation here and understands that any decision we make is based on the financial situation of the club. I asked him what is the least amount that will keep him at the club. Dave is an honest bloke who has come back to me with some honest figures so now we will have to sit down and work a deal out." said Curle. Artell's and Luke Dimech's short term contracts come to an end on the seventh of this month.
mansfieldtown.net reports that Keith Curle announced that Mansfield Town will be lodging a formal complaint to the Football League for creating an intimidating and hostile atmosphere at the Vetch Field on Saturday. "Swansea are guilty of creating an intimidating atmosphere by this match form the outset" he told the official website today. "They deliberately cut our ticket allocation down to 280 which is in breach of the 10% rule set out by the FA. This left a big void behind the goal which could have been occupied by our supporters, this coupled with some of the decisions made by the officials and the Swansea fans and players created a hostile situation which culminated in the brawl on the pitch where it was only Mansfield players who got penalised despite Swansea players been involved as well" he added. " The chairman is aware of the situation and the fans complaints about this matter and will be looking at lodging a formal complaint to the football League".
Regarding the sending of and booking of players "We will be issuing disciplinary action to our players involved but special dispensation will be made due to the situation and nothing will be decided until I have spoken to the players who are taking a couple of days off. Their trip to Swansea was ruined by some poor officiating" he said.

Question: Should the Federal Reserve be allowed to buy stocks and bonds to combat recessions?
Phil Blair, Manpower
NO: Doesn't seem like a great idea. How do they decide what companies to prop up with stock purchases and which ones they let fail. Seems likely to become very political, which the Fed is supposed to stay out of. Take it a step further and the Federal Reserve could end up being a major shareholder casting proxy votes, etc. None of this sounds like a good idea
Kelly Cunningham, National University System
NO: The Fed does not recognize their unconventional policy actions are causing global stagnation. The U.S. economy has lagged since the financial crisis of 2008 because of distortions the Fed policies inflict on Treasury bond and money markets. The specter of more broadly intervening in capital markets would keep zombie companies in business, cause more deflation, and reduce profitability of well-run competitors. Extending credit to selected businesses confers preferential creditworthiness, amplifies distortions, and be dangerously fraudulent.
David Ely, San Diego State University
NO: Authorizing the purchase of stocks and corporate bonds would create a situation where the central bank could influence how credit is allocated within the economy. It would likely be pressured to use this tool to support goals beyond those associated with monetary policy, and thus experience diminished independence. And, the Federal Reserve could lose credibility if it was perceived as acting to drive up share prices to the benefit of wealthy investors.
Gina Champion-Cain, American Investments
She is not participating this week.
Alan Gin, University of San Diego
NO: While there would probably be some criteria that would guide the Fed, there is a potential equity issue because some securities owners would benefit and others wouldn't. Also, it is questionable whether the purchases would be effective in combating a recession. They would boost the stock market and possibly consumer and investor confidence, but that may not be enough to turn the economy around. It was done in Hong Kong during the 1998 Asian economic crisis, but that was a smaller economy.
James Hamilton, UC San Diego
NO: The Fed's mission is not to allocate real resources between winners and losers or be the arbiter of what the value of stocks should be. If the Fed buys corporate stocks or bonds, which companies does it choose to support, and by how much? The more the Fed ventures into those kind of decisions, the more it politicizes the institution and ultimately undermines its ability to be a stabilizing force in the economy.
Gary London, London Group of Realty Advisors
YES: The concern for some time has been that with continuing low discount rates, the Fed has fewer tools in its toolbox to impact the economy when intervention is required. With the prospect of a continuation of the low rates, the concept of broadening its holdings seems prudent. I also like the idea of the Fed having a "place at the table" which inevitably is the result of purchasing corporate stock and bonds. It might temper some renegade behavior in moments of financial strife.
Norm Miller, University of San Diego
NO: The Fed has bought a lot of government and agency debt already. To consider expanding this to the private sector would be akin to what the Chinese have tried to do. The lesson is that you can manipulate markets in the short run but not the long run. If anything the government should buy less of our own debt pushing down yields and inflating asset prices which cannot be sustained.
Jamie Moraga, IntelliSolutions
She is not participating this week.
Gail Naughton, Histogen
She is not participating this week.
Austin Neudecker, Rev
NO: Advanced monetary policy, like the Fed directly purchasing stocks, is a complicated topic about which even experts can only make loose assertions. (Fed Chair Janet) Yellen may feel as if the Fed has run out of tools to positively affect the economy. Yet, this is extremely dangerous and we should demand more data. To start, we don't know if it is effective in curbing long-term recessions. Japan and Europe's experiences with stronger central banks do not inspire imitation.
Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & Associates
NO: The Bank of Japan has been buying corporate bonds and stocks for a while and the European Central Bank has been buying corporate bonds since June. Check the results to see it is clearly not working. There would be significant risk, conflict of interest and political challenges if the Fed were to purchase assets such as commonly traded securities. The Fed should seek to minimize risk, maximize liquidity, and remain market-neutral.
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
NO: This would give certain economic sectors or even companies preferential treatment in accessing capital or acquiring it at a lower cost. Granting a quasi-government body this kind of power strikes at the heart of a market economy and only invites corruption. Such power is also unnecessary as the Federal Reserve will have plenty of U.S. Treasuries to purchase as the government is likely to run large deficits for the duration of our lifetimes.
John Sarkisian, SKLZ
NO: The Federal Reserve affecting the economy by managing the money supply and interest rates is far different from owning debt and equity in private companies. I thought it was a bad idea for the government to own an interest in private companies during the last financial crisis. I think it would be a step towards socialism for the Fed to be allowed to own debt and equities in the future.
Dan Seiver, San Diego State University
NO: If the Fed were to jump in and buy corporate stocks whenever they fell, investors would bid stocks higher, knowing the Fed was ready to "save" the stock market when it tumbled. This is the moral hazard problem. The Fed should adjust the margin requirement to buy stock: When stocks are frothy, raise it, and when stocks are in a bear market, lower it. It has this power already but has been unwilling to use it.
Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health
NO: The Federal Reserve should focus on effecting monetary policy, not intrude on the role of Congress and the president to set fiscal policy. Legislation Congress may pass authorizing the Fed to purchase corporate securities should include safeguards to avoid conflicts of interest, financial market disruptions and interference with federal fiscal policies. For example, Congress could mandate the Fed hire qualified investment firms to purchase securities using the same methods they employ to construct portfolios for their clients.

12-year-old girl live-streamed her own suicide on Facebook, and now police say they are helpless to prevent the video from proliferating online.
Katelyn Nicole Davis, of Cedartown Ga., hanged herself in her front yard on Dec. 30. In the video, she says she was sexually abused by a family member. In a previous video purported to be of Davis, she said her biological father was never a "dad" to her, and that he never even visited her after she overdosed. She said he didn't care. She also said her stepdad abused her and told her she was worthless — and that she should hang herself.
Each year 44,193 Americans die by suicide. Suicide costs the US $ 44 Billion annually. For every suicide 25 attempts are made. Suicide is more likely from families who experience divorce and single parent homes. 80% of divorces are filed by women. The major complaint from men is that their wives are not providing them sex for various reasons and so they outsource this portion of the marriage and it spirals into divorce. This is the majority complaint.
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. Do not deprive one another, except by mutual consent for a limited time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control. – 1 Corinthians 7:4-5
Suicide is the result that begins with the parents training the child in the admonition of the Lord and they will not depart from the Word, but when marriages fail it is has devastating effects on the children. You couple that with the idea she is worthless monkey (taught in schools by way of evolution) and you have the perfect storm.
Put prayer back in schools and in schools they should be taught they were created in God's image. Notice the Words that had the greatest impact on her mind. She is worthless. This is in direct opposition to the Bible, which Jesus died so that she could have eternal life. That's not worthless, but worthy and she was never taught that, but evolution.

Product Introduction
- Replace your OEM 4300K HID bulbs with XenoFlo HID bulbs, available in 6000K and 8000K temperatures for a whiter color.
- Upgrading from 4300k bulbs to 8000k bulbs is similar to upgrading headlights lights from Halogen to HID -- that is how dramatic the color change is.
Features and Benefits Of This Product
- These XenoFlo HID bulbs enhance the look of your BMW:
- 6000k XenoFlo HID bulbs - Emit a pure white light
- 8000k XenoFlo HID bulbs - Emit a blueish white light
- HID XENON lamps are designed to last for the life of your vehicle with a life of over 2000 hours.
- XenoFlo bulbs are made of the finest materials available.
Installation Notes
- Installation Difficulty: BASIC (Simple Tools, No Special Knowledge Required)
- DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS PART OF THE BULB. If this occurs, the lifetime of the bulb will be shortened significantly, and your warranty will be voided. For this reason, we are not able to accept returns on any HID bulb which has been mishandled.
- 6000k bulbs are an ideal replacement for BMW OEM D2S bulb part numbers 63217160806 (63-21-7-160-806 or 63 21 7 160 806) | 07119904790 (07-11-9-904-790 or 07 11 9 904 790) | 63128361007 (63-12-8-361-007 or 63 12 8 361 007) | 07119904789 (07-11-9-904-789 or 07 11 9 904 789).
Notes / Warnings
- Note that these bulbs are sold in PAIRS!
- All bulbs of a certain color temperature emit the same color light, but due to the characteristics of the light housing where bulbs are installed and whether or not the housing has a projector, the color temperature may appear skewed, making it look more white, more blue, or more purple.
- These bulbs are NOT an upgrade for Halogen bulbs. If this is what you desire, please see our XENESIS bulbs or our XENOFLO HID RETROFIT KITS. These bulbs are to replace OEM HID bulbs with HID bulbs of a different color, and do not include new ballasts.
- It is the purchasers responsibility to check with local laws to ensure that the color / brightness of bulb that they are purchasing is legal in their area. It is also the purchasers responsibility to ensure that lights are installed in light housings as required by local laws. In areas where this product is not legal for road use it is sold strictly for off-road, track or show use only.

Fog light bulbs
Easy plug and play, work great and look great. On startup they look very blue but warmup in 10 seconds going pure white.
Love These
This is my second set of light bulbs from here. Love these replacement bulb. Bought the 8000k light blue and it looks really awesome.
Looks Great
Looks great on the X5!!
These bulb upgrades are great. They are brighter then my original xenon bulbs and I never had any error message. For you drivers that like extra brightness when driving at night and use your fog lights these bulbs are perfect for that. I am one who used to do that, but no more these 6000K bulbs are the bomb. ;-)

Entertainment Weekly has also showcased Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) on the cover, while debuting a number of new photos and story details thus far. Today the publication has new insight on the new droid character L3-37, portrayed through motion capture by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), who is one of the few female droid in the Star Wars universe. The publication spoke to screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, who had this to say about this unique character, who works for Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover).
"She has a working relationship with Lando, and it's very sophisticated and informed by years of working together. And, Phoebe, herself, is hilarious. The effect that she will appear in is amazing, but she comes through very strongly even with this astounding [CGI], both her humor and her physicality. If you meet Phoebe, she's one of these people you just fall in love with immediately."
The droid's name alone is a reference to "leet" (l337), which is the practice of substituting numerals for letters in words. Donald Glover revealed in an earlier interview that both Lando Calrissian and L3-37 are "kind of self-made," adding that "they get each other in that way." Here's what screenwriter Jon Kasdan had to say about the droid.
"She's a self-modified droid. The idea is that she's sort of a mutt, if you will, of various parts of different kinds of droids who has improved upon herself. She's a complete individual in the galaxy. We wanted to have it be a completely different kind of droid than you've ever seen in the movies. And we definitely wanted it to be a female. We thought it was more than time for that."
Like most of the Star Wars droids before her, L3-37 is responsible for a lot of comic relief, although it comes from a very different place. She is not a "stick in the mud" like C-3PO or Rogue One's K-2SO, and she is also quite intelligent. Here's what director Ron Howard had to say about L3-37 in his interview with EW."Her AI is way up there in terms of IQ. She's capable of some pretty interesting conversations. And Phoebe is hilarious and brilliant and really helped bring that character to life in ways that are funny and surprising."
L3-37 was first revealed in the trailer and the teaser images that followed. Jon Kasdan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his father Lawrence Kasdan, reveals that they both based this L3-37 character on real people they know"She's an absolute engine, not just for comedy, but for point of view, and she's got a very strong personality. Much like women in my life and Larry's life that have just made their will known to us, she isn't subservient. L3 is subservient to no one, which is a fun kind of droid to write."
The first trailer was well-received by fans, and it also confirmed that Disney was still committed to releasing the movie on May 25, 2018. There had been no shortage of rumors that the release date would be delayed to December, to give director Ron Howard, who reshot almost the entire movie after original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired, more time to put the re-shot footage together in post-production. You can head on over to Entertainment Weekly for their full report on L3-37, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Thanks to the slow food movement, venison is showing a resurgence in the American culinary scene. "Game" animals give a rustic flare to restaurants that are trying to capitalize on the public lean toward traditionalism.
I've put this article together as a primer for those who might be interested in bringing venison into the home to cook for the first time. However, due to the scarcity of venison at retail outlets you're best bet for acquiring some is either ordering it online, hunting, or knowing a hunter willing to share. I've decided to skip the rundown of cuts & techniques to focus on the on the one part of the deer your most likely to run across, the tenderloin.
The first thing you need to be aware of is cooking venison can be quite different than anything you might have cooked in the past. As you can tell by the above photo, there's little to no fat in the meat. Deer are very active animals. This in turn leaves little body fat and very small amounts of intramuscular fat. This is a pretty big contrast to something like beef, as cattle tend to be more sedentary. So we have two possible methods of cooking: "Low & Slow," or "High & Fast."
"Low & Slow" is not my preferred method for cooking tenderloin, as you'll have to braise it in liquid to keep the meat from drying out. Other parts of the deer are better suited, so keep the crock-pot in the cupboard until someone passes a hindquarter or shank in your direction.
"High & Fast" it is.
So here's the basic rundown:
1. Tenderloins will taper from one end to the other. So try and trim off the cone-shaped end to keep the size more uniform. If you feel comfortable trussing, go right ahead, it definitely helps.
2. The older the deer, the wilder it will taste, and the tougher it will be.
3. Rub the loin with oil. You're cooking this thing HOT. The oil will prevent sticking, and help keep the tenderloin moist.
4. A little salt & cracked black pepper is my preferred seasoning, but you can run the gambit with whatever seasonings or rubs you prefer. Just keep in mind that things like juniper berries, rosemary, and sage are earthy flavors. They'll pull the gamey-ness of the meat out to the front of the palette. (Some like this flavor profile, some do not.)
5. Start with a room temperature loin. Heat a pan on medium-high. Once the pan has preheated, drop in a tablespoon of oil and add the venison. Immediately drop the heat to medium. Sear on all sides and continue to rotate until the tenderloin has cooked to medium rare. Remove from heat and allow to rest, covered, on a carving board for 10 minutes (you'll need all the moisture you can get, don't short change the resting period.)
6. Don't cook the meat past the first stages of medium, or after you let it rest, you'll have a large gamey deer flavored log for dinner.
7. Slice the meat against the grain in small medallions, no thicker than an inch. I personally prefer carpaccio -thin slices. Serve with a fruit compote (my go-to is blackberry.), or a dime-glace of your choosing.
I'll have more venison recipes up soon. Thanks for reading!

All in the family
Pasta Peddler
Photos by kc kratt
1547 Hertle Avenue, Buffalo
393-9547 or pastapeddler.com
Local success story Pasta Peddler has grown from a farm and community market stall to a brick and mortar business over the past three decades. Mike Sedia bought the business from its previous owner in 1994 and brought his son-in-law Eric Amodeo as co-owner in 2000. It started as a home-based operation, with the family making pasta in their own kitchens—first at Sedia's father's house and then at Eric and Andrea Amodeo's home. In 2013, the business rented some space in the newly renovated Horsefeathers Market on Connecticut Street; a year or so later, Pasta Peddler finally moved into its current storefront at 1547 Hertel Avenue.
The new retail space is large enough to also accommodate Andrea Amodeo's Blackbird Sweets, started in 2004. Eric feels the new location on Hertel has really propelled their business: "We got in right as Hertel was starting to explode, and our sales have grown exponentially every year that we've been there."
Pasta Peddler specializes in gourmet pastas, sauces, and ravioli. They offer four different types of ravioli and sixteen types of pasta; the pastas are all 100% vegan. The vegan aspect, Eric says, is very important to their customer base. The store also sells cooking accessories and some Italian import items. The pastas and raviolis are all made within seven to ten days of sale and use no preservatives. All of the pasta is made by hand, based on family traditions and recipes passed down to Mike Sedia by his mother and grandmother.
After emerging from an imported Italian pasta machine, the pasta is cut, dried on custom dowel rods and racks, and hand-bagged and labeled.
Pasta Peddler products can also be found at the Lexington Cooperative Market, Premier Gourmet, and other local stores, as well as seasonally at some of the farmers' markets where the business got its start: longtime customers can still find pasta being peddled at the Elmwood Bidwell market in season. Eric hopes that he can continue to partner with more small business retail locations—such as Dash's—to help spread his reach even more. Relationships with other small businesses and farmers' markets continue to be an important part of the business plan, which focuses on family and face-to-face connections.

8. Rollplay GMC Sierra Denali 12-Volt Battery-Powered Ride-On
Here is a truck-styled electric vehicle with working LED headlights, horn, and engine sounds. Recommended for children ages 3 and up, and with a weight capacity of 130 pounds, this electric truck seats 2. Other features include:
- Battery indicator lets you know when it's time to charge

There is one issue with this vehicle. It takes about 12 hours to charge the battery. This means that if the battery is drained, your child will need to wait until the next day to go for another ride. Other than this one issue, this electric truck is another top choice.
7. Peg Perego John Deere Ground Force Tractor with Trailer
If your little one enjoys tractors, then this could be the perfect gift. Made to resemble a John Deere tractor, this electric vehicle even comes equipped with a trailer. Here is a closer look at the features, advantages, and disadvantages:

Your kid can easily traverse any terrain. Other useful features include the built-in FM radio and the adjustable seat.
There is only one potential drawback. You need to assemble the vehicle before your child can ride in it. This is typical for electric cars and assembly doesn't take very long. The bottom line is that this tractor is a great choice for any tractor-loving child.
6. Kid Trax Dodge Viper SRT 12V Ride-on Car
Next is an electric car designed to resemble a Dodge Viper. It features LED running lights to ensure safety. Other useful features include the following:
- Engine sound simulation

- 12-volt battery
- Seats 2 kids

Another advantage is the rubber tires, which results in quieter operation.
There are no major issues to discuss. This is a quality vehicle. Though, it is a little more expensive than some of your other choices.
But, sometimes you need to pay a little more to get a quality product. This is the case with this electric car. In the end, this car can take regular abuse and keep on driving – making it suitable for any kid that wants a powered vehicle.
5. Costzon White Mercedes Benz ML350 6V Electric Kids Ride on Car

- Includes comfortable seating
- Designed to resemble the Mercedes-Benz ML350

- Affordable – less than rating160 (depending on latest price)
This is a compact, yet durable vehicle. It is intended for 1 child – aged 3 to 5 years. The padded seating offers comfort and protection when going over bumpy terrain.

Overall, this is a solid choice. It is a durable vehicle but may be best suited for one child instead of two.
3. Black Mercedes Benz SLS R/C MP3 Kids Ride on Car Electric Battery Toy

1. Fisher-Price W2602 Power Wheels Dune Racer
