While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your automobile. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your Aveo5. Auto enthusiasts know that a trusted name is built into each Chevrolet, and know that only top quality repair Aveo5 parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Anyone who drives a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
Your engine can totally break down from lack of lubrication; resulting in intense friction and heat. The moments where your engine's main caps meet the crankshaft are where all the friction and heat come from, which is why you will find your Chevrolet Aveo5 main bearings there. These main bearings are made from a composite metal called Babbitt (iron, zinc, copper, aluminum, and more), because its gall-resistant surface makes it ideal to act as a buffer in the space between the crankshaft and main bore in your Chevrolet Aveo5. Most bearings are cast with lubrication channels, so friction and heat are minimized as the main bearings protect your internals for, hopefully, the life of your car or truck.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. When your Chevrolet requires a top quality replacement Main Bearing Set, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Chevrolet Aveo5 part for your project or repair. Chevrolet Aveo5 Main Bearing Set parts for 2008, 2007, 2006 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Thursday – 31 March 2011
It's a blue sky NBN "Technical Friday." And I'm good with that.
Last night was supposed to be D&D 4.0 night. So, after dinner, I ran a couple of errands and headed over to Hastur Hobbies to partake in hack-and-slash goodness. I arrived to find no one from my group there.
I went back through my messages to see if I had missed something. I had.
That just meant that my evening freed up for me to go and hang out with the missus. Which I did. For the most part…
…until I decided that the best thing for me and my newfound head cold was a nice relaxing soak while reading the day's new comics haul. And I was right – it was good.
A little later, SaraRules! and I finished off the last DVD of Mad Men that we got from Netflix. I now understand what
This morning, I woke up with this song running through my head…
…and I was okay with that.

Editing for this downtown Austin wedding was very very hard. There were so many photos that I absolutely was in love with and I may just have to put in another post because the reception of this wedding was equally lovely. Amber and Chad are a perfect match. They are the embodiment of grace and class. They have great taste, great energy and great personality. It was so easy to photograph their big day. Plus Amber's sister Ashley and her husband 🙂 Brandon were there which made it all the more fun for me. I photographed Ashley & Brandon's cool, edgy backyard wedding last November. I really can't say enough good things about Amber & Chad and their family. All I can do is smile, and I hope you all do the same! View their engagement session at Laguna Gloria, Austin, TX.

I love these shots! They are so clean, simple and gorgeous all at the same time!

Battlefield 3 Realistic Simulator
- Details
- Category: From Across The Web
- Published on Friday, 11 October 2013 12:35
- Written by Ben
- Hits: 2142
This is absolutely a world first as far as I know and I can't say I didn't feel any jealousy when watching this not only because of the amount of fun these people had when assembling and using this simulator , but also because they beat me to it and did it first.
while FPS games became more and more realistic in terms of graphics , AI , sound effects , storyline and scenery, the user interface hardware pretty much stood still - relatively speaking. Of course sound effects were made better thanks to cheap high quality end user surround sound systems , visual experience got better thanks to bigger , high resolution fast responsive LED monitors and command input became better thanks to customized gaming keyboard and mouse - but overall FPS gaming experience didn't take that big step towards realism as its peak.
That is - most of us still sit in front of our machines on a comfortable chair playing FPS games without the fear of getting physically hit , without smelling the virtual battlefield , without moving ourselves except for maybe adjust our sitting position to make ourselves more comfortable now and then during the game.
The closest thing to getting a more real gaming experience that involved original thinking was a funny gadget that shakes and vibrates your chair while gaming.
As far as this simulator they build is damn real , there is a lot of room for improvement. First of all I believe the entire tent should be projected all the time during gameplay, that is , 360 degrees , the treadmill and the celling. Obviously , the celling should be projected with the game's current level's sky, and the same goes for the treadmill - it should be projected with the level's current ground terrain and the gamer should see what goes on behind him when turning his head around, for that , the game needs to be projected at 360 degrees all the time , not only at 180 degrees.
Moreover - weather effects - it would really sound like an overkill , but I believe weather effects would add a big difference towards getting the ultimate realism gaming experience .mechanically computer controlled fans should be added as well to emulate wind and heaters should be added to emulate heat.
What is presented in this video , except for a big leap in UI and gaming experience , is the future of combat training. Just like in the holodeck's of the Enterprise in StarTrek and in StarWars's Republic Commando , whole armies will be trained in a very realistic way inside confined spaces which will house various technologies that emulate the real world to stimulate all the 5 senses we use. Just like in this video those confined spaces will be monitored and after the simulation experience . evaluations will be done and lessons will be learned.

NPY Lands
Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Lands are located in central Australia's cross-border region of the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. NPY Lands are home to 6,000 Indigenous people (Anangu and Yarnangu) from 26 desert communities and homelands, spread over 350,000 square kilometres.
In 1980 Aboriginal women from NPY Lands created NPY Women's Council, an organisation designed to give a voice to Indigenous women in this region. NPY Women's Council is now a major provider of health and other services and maintains a strong voice for its members on issues such as substance abuse, domestic and family violence, child protection, policy, and the needs and aspirations of young people.

An artistic 14-year-old girl has put her talent to work on behalf of a rescue group that took in a litter of day-old puppies who were discovered in mid-December by an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer. The seven tiny newborn puppies went to Every Dog Counts Rescue, and today, thanks to the agency's care, they are happy and healthy.
Teen artist, Riley Newton, was inspired by the rescue of the abandoned puppies, so she set out to create a design for t-shirts to be sold as a fundraiser for the puppies' veterinary bills, as well as for other sick or injured pets who are in need of care through Every Dog Counts Rescue. Newton added an important message on the shirts – it reads, "Don't let love go to waste – ADOPT!"
Newton's shirts have been a hit, so far, over $3,800 has been raised by sale of over 350 t-shirts. Newton told WISHTV, "I'm proud of what it did and what the impact was on the Every Dog Counts Rescue because I'm just happy I made a difference."
On February 7, the rescue group announced an extension of the t-shirt sale:
Last day to order is Friday!
UPDATE: Due to popular demand, we extended the sale an extra week
Click here to find the t-shirts which Newton created (just a few more need to be sold to hit the goal of 400!!)
Find the rescue group on Facebook at this link.
Rescue group's website here.
(Photos via Every Dog Counts Rescue Facebook page and screenshot via WISHTV)
From the rescue group's website:
Every Dog Counts Rescue believes that truly every dog counts, regardless of age, breed, injury or disability. Many of the dogs we take in are dogs other groups won't or can't…seniors, dogs with heartworm, dogs who have been hit by cars or shot, dogs with medical problems like seizures or diabetes, tiny babies who require bottle-feeding, and dogs with "handicaps", to name a few. We believe if they still have the ability to enjoy a quality of life, they deserve that chance.

David Ward has gone rogue and just had a Mel Gibson moment live on Sky News:
"I'm accusing the Jews who did it, [nervous laugh] so if you're a Jew and you did not do it I'm not accusing you. I'm saying that those Jews who did that and continue to do it have not learned those lessons. If you are a Jew and you do not do those things and have never done those things then I am not criticising you."
He goes on to say that he can think of no better day than Holocaust Memorial Day to raise these issues. A LibDem spokesman tells Guido "he is very much acting on his own"…
Here is how the story unfolded:
David Ward has reposted his comments on his website and issued a defiant statement, in which he unbelievably compares his fight not to be silenced to that of a Holocaust survivor:
"For my entire political career I have fought prejudice. I have just returned from Bradford's Holocaust Memorial event where people across cultures and faiths joined together to say "We bear witness to the horrors of the Holocaust and will never forget its lessons.
In the words of the Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, as quoted in the booklet 'Holocaust Memorial Day – Learning Lessons from the past to create a safer, better future': "I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
The original problem was never his criticism of Israel per se, rather his use of "the Jews". Guido hopes LibDem HQ note Ward is standing by that. Every time he opens his mouth he makes this worse.
UPDATE: And as if by magic, David Ward is still digging. He has spoken to the BBC:
"I've spoken to the chief whip, and he's got his views. I don't feel bad about it in any way. They consider my comments regrettable; I consider their reprimand regrettable."
Apparently any further disciplinary would be "a sad reflection on the values we all hold so dearly, particularly on free speech". Adding that he has had an "overwhelmingly positive" response from the public, with 80 unsolicited supportive emails, and just two from detractors."
"While it was essential to remember the Holocaust as one of the most horrific examples of man's inhumanity to man", should we not also remember when there are examples of atrocities being committed in the present?"
Stay classy.
This is getting very messy for David Ward. The LibDem MP has now been summoned to a meeting with party whips on Monday. Tory MP Rob Halfon has slammed his comments, telling Guido:
"I am greatly saddened that in the week of Holocaust remembrance, David has seemingly compared the gas chambers of the Nazi regime to the West Bank. This is the tragic trivialisation of real evil. It should be remembered that Israel withdrew from Gaza completely, and yet has faced a barrage of 7000+ missiles from Hamas and been the victim of hundreds of terrorist suicide bombers, and been attacked by all it's neighbours in 1948, 1967, and 1973. I hope that David will reconsider these remarks, when he remembers that 6 million Jews lost their lives under Adolf Hitler."
The Holocaust Educational Trust are even more damning, accusing Ward of "abusing the memory" of Holocaust victims with his "sickening" comments. Monday could be very difficult for him…
UPDATE: It is all kicking off now. Ward isn't backing down, telling 5Live he won't be "stifled". "If the party has a different view that's for the party to decide". Apparently the party's response is "regrettable" and he hopes he won't have the whip withdrawn. That meeting with the whips just got all the more interesting…
The BBC is now running the story that David Ward has been condemned by the LibDems for his Holocaust comments. He has now deleted them from his website. A spokesperson for the party tells Guido that the matter will be dealt with internally. This photo, published on Ward's own website next to the party logo, will hardly help matters…
Rejoicing over at the Beeb as Foreign Editor Jon Williams announces he is leaving and heading to ABC.
A "vile, shouty, aggressive man – we're all delighted," whispers one colleague to Media Guido.
Bye bye, then.
Telegraph sketch writer Michael Deacon gets hold of Dave's Davos speech:
"Don't say, 'No tax!' I say, 'Yo, tax! Yes, fo' sho, tax! Please pay mo' tax!' Cos no tax base – no low-tax case! We can't keep pace in the global race if you don't embrace my simple case: paying tax is ace. There's no hiding place. I'll cut to the chase: evasion's a disgrace to the human race. It's a slap in the face. Do you want this place to sink without trace? Yo yo yo, World Economic Forum, make some noooiiise."
With Holocaust Memorial Day coming up this Sunday, you can always rely on some odious figure to make an incredibly offensive comment about "the Jews". The Commentator reports that LibDem MP David Ward yesterday compared the Middle East conflict to the Holocaust on his official website next to the party logo:
"Having visited Auschwitz twice – once with my family and once with local schools – I am saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis in the West Bank and Gaza."
Ward has now dug himself an even deeper hole attempting to clarify his comments: "It appears that the suffering by the Jews has not transformed their views on how others should be treated".
Sources tell Guido that LibDem powers that be are "furious", and a spokesperson insisted "this is obviously something we will take extremely seriously". A formal statement from the party is expected imminently. It could be argued Jihad Jenny went for less…
UPDATE: The LibDems have condemned Ward, telling Guido in a statement:
"This is a matter we take extremely seriously. The Liberal Democrats deeply regret and condemn the statement issued by David Ward and his use of language which is unacceptable."
Congratulations to Dave's missing spinner Gabby Bertin. The Telegraph births column reports the happy news this morning:
On 16th January 2013,.—at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, to Gabrielle Bertin and Michael Grist, a daughter, Freya Camille Ann, a sister for Orla.
That's will be the second Freya in Downing Street.
Back in October Dave gloated that "the good news will keep coming", today GDP is down 0.3%. Ed Balls won't let him forget that complacency when he tours the television studios later this morning. Yesterday's headlines seem pretty far away now…
Ed Balls on his predictions…
"I said I didn't think a double dip recession was the most likely outcome and that turned out to be more optimistic than the reality. I don't think a triple-dip recession is the most likely outcome."
- Output of production industries decreased by 1.8% in Q4 2012 compared with Q3 2012.
- Construction sector output increased by 0.3% in Q4 2012 compared with Q3 2012.
- Output of service industries was estimated to have been flat in Q4 2012 compared with Q3 2012.
- GDP was estimated to have been flat in Q4 2012, when compared with Q4 2011.
- GDP is estimated to have been flat between 2011 and 2012.
Significantly worse than expected…
Journalists getting nicked are ten-a-penny these days, but this story is disturbing on a whole new level. Ben Leapman, the hack at the heart of the Telegraph's expenses scandal exposé, has been in court this week on child porn charges. Leapman, who boasted of "my four-year battle for the truth" and was writing for the paper up until he left last month, is accused of publishing obscene articles on internet forums and making indecent photographs of children.

Leading a healthy lifestyle after 50 is at the top of mind for most women. Eating right and exercising are keys to staying healthy and fit as we get older. Physical activity can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other conditions as well and alleviate some of the common symptoms of menopause like sleep disturbances, joint pain and weight gain.
But despite its many benefits, engaging in physical activity can be a burden for many women because of the very common problem of involuntary leakage of urine that can occur during workouts.
Stress Urinary Incontinence, or SUI, occurs when the muscles that support the bladder and hold the urethra closed become weak as a result of childbirth, menopause, the natural aging process or other health conditions. These weakened muscles result in the accidental leakage of urine when any pressure or "stress" is placed on the bladder, for example, a cough, sneeze, laugh, heavy lifting or other physical activity including exercise.
It is estimated that approximately 1 in 4 women over the age of 40, and perhaps 1 in 3 over the age of 50 experience SUI. The severity of SUI can vary, depending on each individual person — while some women may only experience a drop or two of urine during a 'stress event,' others may release a considerable amount. And although SUI is extremely common, living with the condition can be embarrassing, inconvenient and may significantly impact a woman's confidence and quality of life.
Some women deal with this problem by turning to the old familiar pads or folds of other absorbent material like toilet paper in their underwear. These have the obvious disadvantages of smell, wetness, bulk and the fear that urine can still overflow the protection. Currently, the most common treatments for SUI have been pelvic muscle exercises with or without physical therapy (Kegel exercises), internal vaginal bladder supports and surgery. Although these treatments can be effective, none are a one-size-fits-all for the majority of women with this condition. Surgery has associated risks, failure rates and downtime, devices designed to support the bladder have to be inserted internally and can be uncomfortable, and exercises require diligence and patience which may be challenging to busy schedules.
A new solution that recently became available is Finess, a first-of-its-kind product that is worn over the urethra – the opening where urine passes out of the bladder – to stop bladder leaks before they occur. Finess is a soft, disposable patch that creates a seal over the urethra using a gentle hydrogel adhesive. It is comfortable, easy to place and remove and allows women the ability to participate in their everyday activities – even exercise – with the confidence that they will stay dry, regardless of their workout regimen.
Finess is the most clinically tested, FDA cleared solution for bladder leakage available directly to women, and can be worn during the day or night, as well as during physical activity or exercise. It is easily removed for urinating. The product should be removed before showering, swimming or sexual intercourse.
SUI is different from urge incontinence, also referred to as overactive bladder, which can also impact a women's daily life and her physical activity. Although not intended for overactive bladder, Finess may provide help for women who have both this condition and SUI (referred to as mixed incontinence).
The benefits of exercise can be achieved whether a woman has been active her entire life or wants to get healthy and begin now. Since SUI is a common part of the aging process, it should not get in the way of embarking on a physical fitness plan. There are solutions to help make exercise and daily activity more comfortable for women with SUI so I encourage all women troubled with SUI to seek help and not let SUI discourage them from rewards of being active.
For more information on SUI and Finess, please visit www.havefiness.com.

There are a lot of exciting and unexpected things about this whole project. To be sure, we didn't anticipate the volume of questions we'd get. It quickly became clear that there was way more demand for advice from both male and female perspectives than we, with our full-time careers and other interests, could ever fulfill.
As an experiment, we put some options up for paid advice — either detailed profile feedback or profile rewriting.
We're happy to say that we've had several clients in each category, and it's been a blast. We love talking with new people at length and helping them work through their problems. Working with clients also gives us the benefit of having a true back and forth with the people we advise. It gives us the opportunity to try different approaches and really hammer things out. We're going to continue to offer free advice to specific questions that make good reading and see how it goes with the paid advice.
If you've read our advice, you know we take all our work seriously. It's nice to be rewarded just a little bit for all the thought and effort we put in. If you're interested in rewriting your profile or upping your dating game and want our dual perspectives, send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: Here I invite everyone to share facts, comments, and ideas about the ultimate name in the world of guitar, Joe Satriani. I find his music is richer, content wise, than his students like Steve Vai and Jeff Tyson, and even than his idol, the great Jimi Hendrix. He is a versatile genius with an attractive technique, and his pace and accuracy never fail to surprise. So cheers for the greatest of all guitarists.

This page will always be a work in progress. It's where I turn the spotlight back on my absolute favourite places, faces and experiences to paint a bigger picture of how much happiness travel has brought me – and hopefully, gives you a few ideas for places and experiences you might like to seek out yourself.
Cities, regions or even whole countries make it onto this list because I find myself singing its praises long after I return home. Some have an embarrassment of riches in terms of natural beauty, others are vibrant metropolises with a surprise around every corner, some keep me in a constant state of awe at their beauty and others are just a lot of fun.
- Paris – My favourite city in the world, even if that makes me a huge cliche. Read all my Paris posts here, how I'd spend One Perfect Day in Paris, or check out my new Paris City Guide.
- Levanto – Levanto was a convenient base for visiting Cinque Terre to give us a break from the crowds. I didn't expect it to be my favourite small town in the world. Read why here.
- Spain – I've seen so little of Spain, but I'm already in love. There are so many cities I couldn't visit Spain again without seeing, that I've decided it needs its own dedicated trip – my next Europe trip for sure.
- Athens – It wasn't love at first sight, but on my return visit a few days later, after visiting the islands, Athens really grew on me. It's now one of my favourite cities. Read Is Athens Safe for Travellers in 2014? and 6 Reasons to Visit Athens Now
- Green Island – This is how I imagine paradise should look – a singular, sandy island covered in lush rainforest and fringed by crystal clear waters and the Great Barrier Reef. Post coming soon.
- Moreton Island – It's hard to believe that such raw beauty can be found so close to Brisbane. You can do guided day trips if you don't have a 4WD, but you'll be rewarded if you take the time and effort to drive around the island. Read about my time on Moreton Island here.
- Florence – Florence is my favourite city in Italy. It is easily walkable, adores the arts and the historic centre is so beautiful that it is worth putting up with the many tourists. The food is delicious and the Boboli Gardens are one of the most beautiful places to get lost. Read my Florence posts here.
- Nice – Nice may be a lot of things, but you can't deny that it's a lot of fun.
- Ice skating on top of the Eiffel Tower
- Bringing in the New Year under the Eiffel Tower in 2012
- Our up-close-and-personal fireworks show in Melbourne, New Years Eve 2013. Keen to avoid the crowds, my boyfriend and I decided to bring in the New Year from his apartment balcony, hoping that we'd be able to see the Docklands fireworks in the distance. Our New Years Eve Fireworks Map didn't tell us that the building next door would be part of the display, letting off a spectacular fireworks show from the roof! We couldn't have asked for a better view.
- Floating into the Blue Grotto in Capri, while the Gregorian-sounding chants of the local "captains" of all the dinghies reverberated off the high grotto walls. Chants above the boat, electric blue water below it. Incredible.
- Jumping into the Mediterranean from our boat, during a day trip sailing around Capri
- Seeing snow for the first time in Lucerne, as we floated up Mt Pilatus by gondola. Those. Views.
- Visiting a gun club in the outskirts of Prague – I'd never seen a gun in my life (thank you Australia), but the opportunity arose and true to form, I decided to give it a try. We shot targets, not living creatures, so even our group's vegetarian gave it a go. The men in my life back home are very jealous (and surprised) that I shot an M-16, AK47, sniper rifle and shot gun. Now I've done it, I have no need to repeat the experience, but it was an unusual surprise on the road.
- An unintentionally terrifying tour of Dunedin's stunning, but treacherous cliffs in a golf buggy – I saw a baby seal though!
- The Lido – Like the Moulin Rouge, but better. Read my post Skip the Moulin Rouge, see the Lido.
- Gliding over the treetops on my way up to the rainforest village of Kuranda, just outside of Cairns
- Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, from a pristine beach on Green Island
- Roman Baths, Bath (UK)
- Ancient Ephesus (Turkey)
- Pompeii (Italy)
- Roman ruins underneath Notre Dame, Paris
- The beautifully preserved town of Laycock, England
- St John's Monastery, on the Greek Island of Patmos – Gorgeous monastery, fascinating museum underneath and breathtaking island views!
- Capuchin Crypt, Rome – Totally creepy. Monks made artwork out of bones, a whole lot crazier than the Catacombs of Montparnasse. But certainly memorable.
I love history, but I'm a somewhat reluctant museum-goer. These museums and galleries grabbed me the moment I walked through the door and I highly recommend them to even the most museum- or gallery-averse.
- Musee de Moyen Age, Paris
- Schnapps Museum, Vienna
- Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), Brisbane
- Musee de l'Orangerie, Paris
- Musee d'Orsay, Paris
- New Acropolis Museum, Athens
- Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin
- Anne Frank's House, Amsterdam
These meals made me sound like a broken record, capable only of crying "I just don't want it to end"…while stuffing my face. You can't have your cake and eat it, unfortunately. Details included, where I can remember them (I wasn't always such a good note-taker).
- Dinner at The Old Church, Mount Tamborine | Gold Coast, Australia
- Libertine, Brisbane | Australia
- Burma Lane, Melbourne | Australia

Loveliest Locals
This section might not have a lot of "use" but it's important to me. It's too easy to forget the friendly faces who lended a helping hand or lifted my spirits along the way.
Faith in humanity? Restored.
The elegant"femme d'un certain age" in Rome, who was eating alone, just like me. After her meal, she approached my table excitedly, to tell me that I looked like the Madonna painted by a famous Italian painter. My Italian was exceptionally basic at the time, so I half-grasped what she was saying and asked her to write down the rest, for later Googling. I see no resemblance between myself and the Madonna, but it was a memorable and sweet encounter. Read more about this tourist-free (apart from me!) restaurant in the Parioli neighbourhood, here.
Alejandro & his grandmother, who I was sitting with on the train from Milan to Verona – Six year old Alejandro was very patient with me as he taught me how to play games with him in Italian (which I do not speak very well), and his grandmother spoke to me in French about how she did a similar trip to the one I was on, when she was a young woman.
Milo, a philosophy student in Paris –Without him, I would probably have wound up taking a nap on my suitcase in the forest at Cite Universite, rather than finding my building. Who said the French are rude? He saw me wandering around looking lost and gave me directions. I confused "droite" for "droit", so I turned right rather than walked straight ahead, and found myself in a forest. He saw me again, from across the campus, and jogged over and decided it was best to walk me to my building. A million thank yous.
PS – Who made two directions sound so similar?!
The student who showed me to my room, when I was completely confused by the numbering system in my new building. Yes, as soon as I got inside my building, I was again lost and relying on the kindness of strangers.
The many, many strangers who kindly offered to carry my suitcase up the stairs at train stations all over Europe. Special shout out to the guy in Paris who carried my case for what felt like miles through one of the largest stations.
Nicola, our super lovely host at Villa Clelia in Levanto, who drew us a map to help us find the best restaurants in town.
The Turkish shop owner who hooked us up with a cheap and delicious lunch at his friend's restaurant
The woman in Melbourne who let me just speak to her, when a crazy guy was harassing me (and following me) off the tram. The couple who saw my distress, and offered to walk with me for a few blocks till he was gone.
The French woman who doubled back to help my lift my suitcase out of the turnstile in Paris. I was jetlagged and of weak upper body strength. Thank you for minimizing my public humiliation!
The people of Athens, for being warm, welcoming and resilient while their city all but crumbles around them. You would have been forgiven for being haughty to hide your embarrassment, or too tired to find a smile. Instead you wer
The policeman in Milan, who very patiently helped us operate the Metro ticket machin
The elderly gentleman in St James Park in London, who helped my little brother feed the squirrels. It made his day!
The elderly gentlemen on the streets of Paris, who stopped to say hello to my little brother at a crossing and told him he spoke French beautifully. He didn't know that Pierce had been practicing "Bonjour" "Merci" and "Au revoir" so much that he'd started saying them in his sleep. He was thrilled.
The pilots who took my little brother to the cockpit on the flight into London. Made a very bored and tired little boy's day!
The restaurant owner in Florence, who told us to slow down when we eat. You were right.
Every French person who has tolerated my very basic French
Every person who spoke to me in English, when I was in their country and couldn't speak the language. Many travelers treat speaking in English as their right, not a privilege, when they are abroad. Thanks for being patient.

Can I Get a Concealed Carry Permit in Fort Collins, Loveland or Estes Park?
The application process for obtaining a CCW permit was established in Colorado in 2003, when it was realized that there was general confusion about the law regarding concealed handguns. In order to obtain a concealed carry permit in Fort Collins, a person must meet these requirements:
- Be a legal resident of the state of Colorado.
- Be 21 years of age or older.
- Demonstrate that they have competence handling a firearm.
- Pass a background check.
- Pay the permit processing fee (which is determined by the sheriff – it won't exceed $100).
Larimer County Concealed Carry Permits Attorney: Restrictions to Obtaining a Concealed Carry Permit
There are restrictions to getting a concealed carry permit in Larimer County. You will be turned down automatically if you:
- Are a habitual alcohol user – so much so that normal abilities are impaired (however, if you provide a signed statement from an addiction counselor that proves you have been alcohol free for three years, you may still be able to obtain a permit).
- Have 2 or more alcohol-related convictions within ten years before submitting your application.
- Have a current restraining or protection order against you.
- Have been convicted of perjury.
- Are ineligible to possess a firearm, according to Colorado Statute 18-12-108, or federal law.
Who Decides If I Can Get a Concealed Carry Permit?
The Larimer County Sheriff is the ultimate decision-maker when it comes to whether or not you will be given a concealed carry permit.
- If all criteria is not met, the sheriff will deny the applicant.
- If the sheriff believes that an applicant is dangerous to society (or to himself), he or she will deny the permit.
- The sheriff has the authority to suspend or revoke any permit that has been previously issued.
- Appeals for permit denials can be brought to a Larimer County District Court judge, who can overrule the sheriff.
What To Do If You Have Been Rejected for a Concealed Carry Permit
If you completed the application process and were denied a permit by the sheriff, then you have ability to argue your case at a judicial review. The sheriff has the burden of proof, and will need to prove why you are ineligible to obtain a CCW. The experienced attorneys at our office have been helping people obtain concealed carry permits in Larimer, Weld, and Broomfield County for many years. We firmly believe that it is the right of every citizen to bear arms, and we support the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) and their mission to protect these rights.[pullquote align="center" textalign="center" width="100%"]"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." –Cesare Beccaria [/pullquote]
If you or a loved one has tried to get a concealed carry permit in Fort Collins, Loveland or Johnstown and been denied by the Larimer County Sheriff, be smart, exercise your right to remain silent, and contact an experienced gun rights criminal defense attorney at the O'Malley Law Office at 970-658-0007, or submit the "Get Help Now" form. Together, we can protect America.

I used to work for a large insurance company in Chicago. The director charged with building our NOC in 2000 basically traveled throughout the country visiting other large IT organization's NOC's and took the best ideas and made them work for us - and it did resemble 24.
Take a large crescent shaped room with a 30' or more ceiling. The video wall was three different sections (this is important for separation of displays and multiple tools at the same time). The display units were high end rear projection systems that were each hooked up to computers that drove the display and were roughly 3'x5' each. Of course there's no seam or separation between the screens. Any group of screens can be used to display anything you want (1 screen, 2, 4, 6, all, etc). Pretty basic stuff nowadays, but it was great ten years ago. The left and right banks had three screens stacked on top of eachother, by either 4 or 5 wide. The center bank was 3 high by either 8 or 10 wide.
Three rows of crescent tables with low walls in front separating them, and minimal separation between workspaces - you want people in a NOC to work very closely with eachother, especially in case of an outage. Each station had two or three LCD screens mounted on articulating arms, but not to be stacked on top of eachother like those trading desks you see with 6 or 8 LCD screens at them. That would be too tall, and you couldn't look over the top to see the main video wall without standing. The room sat close to 50 people. Around the edges of the room are various cabinets, printers, personal storage for the three shifts of employees that work in the NOC, etc. Of course high end chairs are important as others have noted. Lighting is also equally important. You have to be very careful with making sure it is as close to natural lighting as possible. The lighting we used was recessed and inset so that no lightbulb shone directly out or down on the people - it made it less harsh, but still very bright in the room based on a good design. Wireless headsets are important, and also minimizing speakerphones and any other distracting noise.
Behind the rows of tables at the back of the crescent in the donut hole section if you will is an enclosed room large enough to sit 30 people comfortably with power, phones, and network connections to cover it. The walls facing the NOC are floor to ceiling glass, and it has connectivity to the videowall of the NOC so that displays from their can be sent to the meeting room as well. It has every high end normal conference room tool you could need - multiple video conferences, smartboard, integrated microphones and speakers, etc. Everything was hidden inside builtin cabinets made of high end wood. This main room is the situation room. During a large outage, 2nd and 3rd level staff will work out of the room in conjunction with the NOC teams. Directly upstairs from the situation room is another identical room, also with floor to ceiling glass walls looking out to the video wall of the NOC. This upper room was reserved for senior and executive management use during a large outage. Engineers and Executive management have different needs during an outage and require separate spaces and separate functions, although constant information does need to feed between the two. The upper room was more of the showpiece room. It had a motorized curtain that you could press a button on the wireless control panel to open and close. The entrance from the building going up to the second floor board room does not give anything away for what the NOC itself looked like, so once everybody was assembled in the room and the button was hit, it never failed to impress first time visitors. They would always leave their chairs at the conf table and walk right up to the glass wall to look down at the people working in the NOC and see what was displayed on the board.
It was an extremely impressive setup. I am now in sales and visit customer sites on a daily basis and I have yet to see something that even approaches what this director designed at my old employer.
You can't forget to include cable or satellite to display weather and headline news. For fun, don't forget to include a high end stereo system and a blu-ray player so you can watch movies or the occasionaly superbowl game since you already have cable service anyway.
I use secure #'s from my Discover card for every purchase I make online that I can - I have however come across a few that won't accept Discover, and then I think twice before I purchase on a non-secure card. This feature is available on every Discover card of every persuasion and has been for a few years. It's not technically one time use. My understanding of it from experience is that if the same company charges the exact same amount to your number at a common interval (1 month, etc), then the charge will be accepted. It has worked for me before - I believe with Tivo. However, many times companies will process the first payment themselves, and subsequent recurring payments will go through a clearinghouse. The different payment info is enough to get the payment denied, which can be both good and bad depending on if you really wanted to setup a recurring payment.
I used to have a Visa credit card from MBNA and they offered secure numbers as well. They probably still do, but check into it before making the plunge. Unfortunately I got rid of MBNA and now just use Chase, and they do not offer secure credit numbers, so I have no backup if Discover isn't accepted. Maybe they paid too much for Bank One and Bear Stearns.
This is really how it works? Come on, what decade is this? I've been on the user side and now I'm on the vendor side of packet based application performance products. Think wireshark or the defacto standard certain brand name that jumps into your head. A primary part of the job is showing people how inefficient their database calls are when they either ask for everything every time and don't cache it, or they get tiny bits and pieces a few bytes at a time instead of larger more efficient downloads.
So Twitter can't bundle multiple requests into the same stream? It's not exactly rocket science - even SNMP can do this now. It saves processing power, bandwidth, time to load, etc. Pretty crazy.
This is all pretty much common knowledge to anyone who has had an kicked a caffeine habit. And yes, certain soda's have much, much more caffeine than coffee which generally has much less than 100mg per cup. My habit started in High School with a two liter of coke on the way to school and through the first period or two (band, not real class). It soon moved up to a peak of 1800mg per day by way of no-doz and other generic caffeine pills. I couldn't function without it. I finally woke up one day, stopped cold turkey all pills and all liquid forms of caffeine, and after a week or so I was fine again. It is a real addiction, and there are real symptoms. You also will get accustomed to it like any other drug and build up a tolerance.
I'll drink 3 or 4 cans of pop a week, and I'll have coffee 2 or 3 times a week, but that's nothing compared to most of my coworkers. I do it more for the liquid than the caffeine as I believe I have all but killed the possibility of caffeine affecting me for a decade or two. Also, I had a science teacher who taught us in school that caffeine will take up to an hour to ingest into the body, so the immediate effect on most people of perking them up within the first few sips is pretty humorous to me. The pills never did that - it would take a while after I took them to do anything. I would like to find out if that is true, but I think it is.
You don't specify what constitutes lots of data. In my case, 2 years ago I went for 6 750GB SATA drives in a Raid6 configuration. There's some very good posts here about some lesser known data reliability options, but personally I wanted to go with a worldwide standard that had been around for a long time and wasn't reliant on a couple guys hacking code in their spare time to make disk redundancy and file access work.
I bought a standard full size tower case, got a very large power supply, and spent a good deal of money on a mid-tier Raid controller. My primary requirement was Raid 6 so I could lose two drives without losing all my data, and my secondary requirement was having true hardware raid support. Most Raid controllers that are not enterprise business class are not true hardware raid - meaning that they use software and the CPU for some of the operations. This slows down file read/write. I did the research and read reviews and got a decent Promise card - if you have the money, go for LSI, Areca, or 3ware. Next, I got a Promise hot swappable 4 drive SATA bay. Not really sure why, it doesn't serve any purpose since in 2 years I haven't had a failure and thus have not had to hot-swap a drive. A very important thing is that I also purchased 7 drives for my 6 drive setup. So I already have a spare if I need it, and I don't have to worry about having the spare cash when a drive fails, or waiting on an RMA if it was still under support, etc. The one thing I wish I had done, and still might, is buy a spare raid controller with the exact same chipset. If your raid controller fries, ALL of your data is gone unless you can get the array up and running on an identical controller. That's a freaky thought!
6 drives in raid 6 at 750GB gives me a little under 3TB of disk. I wanted that in a single partition for ease of use, so I messed around with some 64 bit Linux distributions and did not have any luck. I finally settled on Vista of all things, but only after I got fed up with fighting with Linux - I didn't give it a fair shot, I should have been able to make it work. The only thing I can think is that it didn't like my controller or motherboard.
So, 6 drives of 750GB in Raid6 gives me 3TB. At the time I had less than 1TB of stuff, and wanted to make sure I had room to grow. I didn't grow anywhere near as quick as I expected, and I'm still at less than 2TB today. 2TB drives in a raid6 would give you 8TB, and that's if you only used 6 drives - you could easily add more into that same Raid6 array (depending on how good your Raid controller is). Even if all of your movies are dual layer quality, say 6GB each, that's over 1300 movies. That'd certainly last me a long time!
I'm with you on getting a refund vs owing the government. I purposely set a higher withholding amount on my W2 so that I get extra money back at the end of the year. My finanicial advisor (who is a friend that happens to be a certified advisor) gives me crap about it every year.
The way I look at it is this: If I had an extra $50 or $100 in my paycheck, would I actually save it or would I spend it? My answer is simple - I would find something to spend it on. So since I don't need it to balance my budget, I'll let the government hang onto it for me. That way in February when I get my money back I'll have a large chunk of money all at once that I can use to either spend on something big I needed to save for, or I can use it to fill up my Roth IRA for the previous year. So instead of going out to dinner an extra couple times per month, by loaning the government my money interest free I can actually get something substantial instead of wasteful.
You just have to know how the psychology works for you. Same concept as bribing yourself to get the paperwork done early, or setting your clock 10 minutes fast so that you're always on time. You know it's dumb and so does everyone else - but that's the system that works best for you.
Hmmm. Close, but I'm not convinced. How about this one.
If you had a million dollars locked in a safe and someone cracked the safe and stole your money (without damaging the safe), would you put your next million dollars in the same safe even though it was still perfectly usable? Of course not. But if they caught the thief and recovered every penny of the money stolen, would they also be able to charge the thief for buying you a new safe? I don't think the US courts have any procedure for doing that, except maybe you can collect damages in a civil court which could be the cost of a new safe to keep your money in.
I don't know if Microsoft offers an official money back guarantee program in other continents, but they do offer one for North America. I used it recently myself because the copy of Windows XP that I purchased for a client would not install due to an odd raid controller. I had to return it and buy Vista instead. They took it back with zero hassle, and I had a check in the mail a couple weeks later that I think actually included the shipping charges from me shipping them the XP media kit. This program does not cover computers purchased with pre-installed software though (OEM). For that you have to go to the company you bought it from. I was pretty happy when I realized I could get my money back from Microsoft and not have to eat the extra cost of the software license. Anybody else in a similar situation, the website is:
I think you're actually right. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm never going to get it because even though I'm only 30 and have lived and breathed tech for my whole life, I have no desire to talk to people without actually having something useful to talk about. As they said on a certain chick flick "That's not exactly a soup question".
I'll never call myself a true introvert - there were plenty of those at my college. Typical computer nerd style, and my friends and I were definitely not like them. But, your point is valid. I don't go out of my way to talk to people I have no reason to talk to right then.
I just had this discussion with my wife over the weekend, but in our case we were talking mainly about Facebook and not Twitter, but the same principal applies. My take is that I like the concept of being able to keep in touch with friends and family easily, but the implementation of facebook, myspace, twitter, and sms messaging leaves a lot to be desired. Facebook and myspace allow other people to post things which you may or may not want posted about you, and it keeps those postings for a certain amount of time (# of posts). Yes, you can delete them, but that's not the point. If there was damage, it's already done. Twitter is completely abused by people posting things about going to the store or going to a movie. Who really cares about that except stalkers or people who need to live vicariously through other more exciting people? I see the point for texting/sms, but I can't stand hearing about people that constantly text their friends. If you need to have a conversation with someone with multiple questions and answers, then it's a lot quicker (and cheaper) to call them. It's only quicker to text if it's a single message with a single response. Yes, I'm very technologically literate - I have worked in the computer networking hardware industry for ten years. But the implementation and addictiveness to many people of these four services is really bad. I know a few people who use these services solely for posting pictures and stories for family and good friends - I definitely get that.
For the flip side - my wife uses facebook quite a bit and likes getting updates from people she probably wouldn't call and talk to. Also enjoys looking at pictures when someone posts them. I get that - I just don't get the constant attention it requires. I look at her page, and see 3-4 updates from some of her friends on a daily basis, and we're not talking high school or college kids here. And half of them are lame attempts at introspective comments like - "can't wait to go drinking", "feeling lonely", "two days until the weekend", "my life is like xxx song lyric", etc. She agreed with me about that stuff, but it seems like most of our joint friends enjoy posting comments like that. As for twitter, she equated it to instant messaging. Definitely not the same thing because it's kept forever and isn't a two way conversation.
I'm not starting flames. I just don't understand why so many people are so addicted to these computer based types of social networks when to an outsiders perspective many of the posts seem either phony or useless. There have to be other people out there that agree with me, or that can come up with rational reasons as to why I'm wrong.
I'm not sure what country you're from. Since you say college instead of some other term I'm going to guess US. I'm not that long out of college myself. In my experience, and that of many of my friends, it's all in who you know. Very few people get internships out of the blue. It's either through family members and friends of family (church, people met at activites, etc), or something setup by your college's student employment department. At least one internship was required for us to grauate, and many people did two.
I actually did three (one with one company, and two summers with another), and I wasn't alone with that. Internships (at least for IT) aren't that hard to come by if you don't wait for them to find you. Engineering might be completely different. Then there's paid vs unpaid internships - all IT internships are paid, but I had friends in other areas that had to work for free.
Internships are not real jobs. The person doing the hiring isn't really all that concerned with your skill level. It is much more important to them that you are an outgoing person with opinions on things that might be able to bring the company some extra value. If they have a large internship program and routinely have dozens of interns, them might want to hire people they think will work well together personality wise. An internship interview is typically only a few minutes, vs a real interview of an hour three times with three different people.
Really, it shouldn't be very hard to find an internship - don't be shy and do ask around to everybody you know. You'll likely be surprised. And yes, a resume is a must - even for an internship. Once your name gets on the interview list for the internship, you have to screw up pretty bad to not get it.
There are many players who play online for the fun of the game; however, there are also many who have played online poker professionally to make a steady income. Sell your poker books, and look to a more American way of making a living. The safety of our ports depends on it."This is the first piece of news that will really hurt the likes of Pokerstars and Full Tilt," said analyst Tejinder Randhawa at Evolution Securities.
"If you look at the gambling chat rooms, you'll see NETeller was one of the main payment methods," he added.
According to gambling portal Gambling911.com, Full Tilt Poker depended on NETeller for 75 percent of transactions, and the world's biggest site, Pokerstars, used NETeller for around 60 percent of wagers.

A new toolkit released by the American Medical Association can help physicians navigate sweeping new revisions to the privacy and security rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Physicians must comply with these new rules by September 23, 2013.
Among the key changes physicians must make for the September 23 deadline are new agreements with business associates who handle patient information, privacy notices to share with patients and increased security measures for patient data. Download the toolkit and visit the AMA website for additional resources, including a list of frequently asked questions.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued the 563-page HIPAA omnibus rule in January, revising and extending required safeguards for protected health information and expanding the individual rights of patients. The updated law also tightens requirements on physicians when patient information is breached. As a result, practices could face more legal scrutiny and higher fines in the event of a breach.

|Reviews for Final Greetings
| Psy-Girl1 chapter 1 . 3/21/2004
Aww soo sweet. A pretty nice AU of what might have happened during his last night. So much for that promise right? you should continue writting. O)
| teewssiecurb chapter 1 . 3/1/2004
I liked it. Very cool it was ship enough for us diehard H/Hr fans but not to preachy for those who still havent seen the light. Plus it had like no gramatical errors which ive never seen in a fic. Great job...on a completely different note your name that woudnt be from sailor moon would it.
| Jho chapter 1 . 4/10/2002
Interesting, nice shortpiece.
| Red XIV chapter 1 . 12/26/2001
Nice, but about that book... Given Ron's not-so-impressive performance in the winged key chamber, maybe HE should be the one to take the book home for the summer. Hermione out-flew him, so he really has no room to criticize Hermione's flying skills. Harry does, of course, but then, he could probably outfly Madam Hooch.
| bumblebee-queen chapter 1 . 11/25/2001
For heaven's sake! Only 1 other measly review for this fabulous fic? Oh the humanity! The fact that it's written by the great Lord Malachite alone should have garnered at least 10 reviews. Bah. Oh well, we can't expect people to acknowledge genius immediately, can we? As you can see already, I loved this fic. Because I adore Hermione, and Harry. Yep. It helps a lot that it's expertly written and is blessedly free of grammatical errors. Are you going to write any more Harry Potter fics? I hope so. You mentioned in the notes for the latest chap. of Round Perdition's Flame that you were thinking of writing another fic centering on Hermione. Well what are you waiting for, the next election? Snap to it! I can promise you with all certainty that I will leave an insanely long, glowing review for it. *If you write it, they will come*... oooh... "field of dreams" moment... And you know I would love to read something with mushy romance in it. And if you ever tire of the idea of Harry and Hermione, I think it would be interesting for you to write a Draco/Hermione fic... this would be, of course, just an academic excersize in order to further your writing skills in terms of plot flexibility and character developement etc etc... (was that convincing at all?) Alright, I'll shut up now. Keep up the superb work.
| DragoonKain chapter 1 . 11/21/2001
THAT was pretty good. Not disappointed at all, and I had somewhat high expectations coming from the author of 'Round's Perditions Flames.' Oh, a tip, in the Harry Potter Fandom there is no such thing as a WAFF, which i seem to only see in anime fanfics like eva... People here don't know what it is, but i sure want to see more of it...
Anyway, the insight you give in Harry's character is amazing. Being lonely for more than a decade, he must have a postive outlook on everything, as practically all is better than things were where he came from. This is what i expect harry to be; Rowling just left him as the shy and quiet kid.
Since you know about eva, I have an idea if u would want to hear it. You know Asuka's drive to be the 1st in everything? I was thinking if you would like to incorporate that to Hermione. What I was thinking was that Harry, being exceptionally gifted, upsurps Hermione's position sometime later. This could be one of Hermione's faults, as jealousy was by Ron in the 4th book. This was you could make it somewhat like Shinji and Asuka! ;)
Well, that's all for now, and i am looking forward to more of your writing, evangelion, harry potter, or otherwise. C'ya and have fun!

wHOLESALE & pROCESSING
What Separates Us From The Rest?
So, you are probably asking yourself, "What's the scoop with The Happy Camper concentrates?" "What kind of concentrates do they offer?" "What separates them from the rest?"
That's simple – QUALITY, CONSISTENCY, and CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Here at The Happy Camper we take pride in providing Colorado with the highest quality concentrates in the state!
QUALITY begins with simple choices like from which grows we source our trim material. We are excited to be working with some of the best grows in Colorado because we know that you only get out what you put in. You can't produce the best concentrates by starting with inferior input material. From there we opt for a "slow and low" method which allows us the time and care necessary to make top level concentrates that are stable, Terpene rich, and a pleasure to consume.
There is nothing quite as frustrating as purchasing concentrate from a dispensary that looks amazing at the time of purchase, but in a matter of days, degrades into a product that you would rather not consume. That's why, at The Happy Camper, CONSISTENCY is one of our biggest aims: consistent stability, aroma and flavor in our shatters, and consistent texture, aroma and flavor in our waxes…but we don't stop there! Our shatter consistently tests at higher potencies than any of our competitors' products. The THC potency of our concentrates regularly reach into the 90%'s, and we recently produced shatter that tested at 99% total Cannabinoids! That is straight out of the collection pot, mind you, no winterization necessary!
Our success comes from knowing that what we are doing isn't a set recipe where one can simply follow the instructions. That is why, here at The Happy Camper, we don't just produce concentrates, we CRAFT concentrates. Working with each slab individually, we use QUALITY and CONSISTENCY to craft the best concentrates possible, using our CRAFTSMANSHIP through the entire refinement process.
It is our QUALITY, CONSISTENCY, and CRAFTSMANSHIP that ensures The Happy Camper concentrates climb high above the rest!
For Wholesale Concentrates or Trim Processing information, please contact email@example.com
