OK, political junkies. Get ready to start trading cards featuring President Obama and some of the Republicans who want to deny him a second term.
Upper Deck will insert cards from its "World of Politics" set into its sports packs starting Feb. 21. The company says one out of every 40 packs will include a "super rare" card featuring Obama or one of the current, former or would-be Republican presidential candidates such as Mitt Romney.
"We thought it was only fitting to produce a set of cards that would help pay tribute to all the highs and lows of this presidential race by capturing the top candidates on cardboard," said Jason Masherah, Upper Deck's vice president of marketing and business development.
The GOP trading cards include the remaining four presidential contenders (Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum). Plus, three candidates who are long gone from the White House race -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Rep. Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain -- are also now collectibles, as is former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Obama has been featured on an Upper Deck card before. His caricature was on the company's 2008 "presidential victor" card.

Spain is the Champion of the Euro 2008. Forty-four years after the European Cup that Spain won in Madrid in 1964, this is the only major title the Spanish squad has conquered.
Spain has been a favorite for many major tournaments before only to disappoint and lose in quarter finals in most of them. But this time the Spanish team has not only displayed a beautiful game, but also has shown a determination to win, not seen ever before in the Spanish team.
A great team spirit and huge self confidence, but above all the winning attitude free from the ghosts and fears from the past.
The Spanish soccer team joins Fernando Alonso, Rafael Nadal and a bunch of great basket-ball players moving to the NBA, led by Pau Gasol. A generation of winners that are a true inspiration.
"Podemos" was the cry from Spanish media to motivate the soccer national team. It translates as "Yes, We Can". Barack Obama may have had an influence well beyond USA borders.

My dad is the same with his '97 540i that has more mileage. My sister's '01 Audi A4 hasn't had a problem either. North America is sold on brands because of how it makes us feel when others use a "lesser" brand.
If most engine oils on the shelves today were made for a specific use, and only one use, I'd think oil manufacturers would be getting sued up the behind from customers who have absolute no clue about what to purchase because the internals of their engines broke from wear. But the petroleum product companies are still in business today making enormous profits! My car is happy whether is gets Tier 1, 2, or 3 fuel. I'm not too fussy about what goes in it as long as the station is the only one with super old pumps and noone refueling at that station when busy Chevron, Shell, and Texaco are next door.

WORST boarding/debarking Experience of our lives!!!
Sail Date: July 13, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
Compared to other cruises we've taken-this debacle was like trying to leave a third world country! The lack of boarding logistics defy imagination! Two cruise ships at the Galveston docks at the same time with passengers still leaving the ship at 1:30 PM. We were told to be in line with our bags checked with a porter by 1:00PM in order to board the Navigator. Traffic was insufferable. Wife had to park our car in a fairly close lot-($70 cash) and catch a shuttle back to stand in the 'first' line of passengers qued up in the heat outside of the main customs building! Then after shuffling along for some time, we were allowed to again stand in line to pass through customs/metal detectors.....NOT over yet---Then were herded into much slower lines to actually obtain our boarding passes. At least the building was air conditioned and they had ice water available. Folks were getting a bit testy and short tempered by now. Remember-all of this 'hassle' even before getting on the ship for our vacation! On arrival day,we were told to be at our debarking area on the ship at 9:30 AM-it started all over again...They piled all of our bags in a somewhat recognizable order in the customs building-then we were on our own to find a porter in order to stand in line again until whisked through customs who didn't even bother to scan our luggage or ask to look inside--what a waste of time- the cruise ship could've just as easily piled our luggage outside to load into our cars. Wife caught a Lot B shuttle to get our car thinking the shuttle would take her to Lot B--wrong again!..It stopped to let several people off in Lot A first...then it took her over ONE and ONE HALF hours to drive less than a mile from the parking lot back to the terminal pick up lane to get me and our luggage! To sum it up- we spent a total of over 5 HOURS just to get on and off the ship! We will never bother to leave from Galveston again... other than that, the cruise was ok-food was better than average, drinks were overpriced as usual, cabin was hard to cool, some crew members were outstanding-others just going through the motions, most kids were orderly and civil,the ship was well appointed and sailed smoothly at all times. On a whim, we booked late and were assigned an inside cabin which we paid way too much for. Had to shower in a verticle 'tube' and take turns to dress-was expecting a little more than we got. Our other cruises were with Celebrity and Norwegian so we had a yardstick to use for comparison. Only once have we sailed with the 'tramp steamer' line-Carnival-only once! Overall- If this would be your first cruise and you are in good shape,don't mind the heat... GO FOR IT. because you can do much worse.....

Stanley: Goldfish rule!
Dennis: You do, too, shark-boy Stanley. Good night, now.
Stanley: My favorite animal in the whole wide world. That's you, Dennis.
Dennis: A shark school isn't like your school. They don't eat lunch in the cafeteria.
Stanley: I think I'll take the Great White Shark to school, 'cause it's the coolest.
Dennis: If you say so, Stanley. However, the shark needs a whole big ocean full of seawater to swim in. Or at least a tank as big as your house.
Stanley: Nobody else in my school has a shark.
Dennis: I think there might be a reason for that, Stanley.
Stanley: I know, I'll bring a shark.
Dennis: A what!?
Stanley: What am I gonna do, Dennis? I've gotta bring a supercool animal and it can't be extinct and it can't be too big.
Dennis: Can you think of someone Stanley can bring to school?
Stanley: You know what would be great?
Dennis: Something orange?
Stanley: A Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Stanley: Uh oh! (gasps) Dennis, wake up!
Dennis: Oh my goodness, Stanley. It's too early to wake up. Why, it's hardly light. Go back to sleep now.
Stanley: I can't, Dennis! Today's the day I'm supposed to bring my favorite animal to school for show-and-tell.
Stanley: You're the king of the fishbowl.
Dennis: Roar roar.
Stanley: Good night, Dennis.
Dennis: Good night, little lion cub.
Dennis: Next time you open The Great Big Book of Everything to the letter "L," why don't you try a lamb instead?
Stanley: Give him a timeout, Daddy.
Daddy Lion: (yawns widely)
Stanley: I don't believe it. My Daddy would ground Lionel for a week if he tried anything like--
Dennis: Congratulations. You have five brothers.
Stanley: Oh no. And I thought it was hard sharing with one brother.
Dennis: Happy birthday, Stanley. You've just been born into a lion family on the African savannah.
Stanley: Savannah? I thought lions lived in the jungle.
Dennis: No, the lion isn't really the king of the jungle, Stanley. It's the king of the savannah. Which means the plains where the tall grass grows.
Stanley: (pointing to a picture of a lion) There's my new Daddy.
Dennis: He sure looks big.
Dennis: Lions may be in the same family as house cats, Stanley, but they're not pussycats. And before you go trading for a lion daddy, I think we need to learn a little more about them.
Stanley: I'm gonna get a real lion to be my Daddy.
Dennis: Uh-oh. That could be big trouble.
Dennis: Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a big round of applause for the king of the jungle.
Harry: King of the jungle? Well, that's like a lion, right? Well, stay cool, dudes. Don't freak!
Mr. Griff: We can play more later.
Stanley: No play later. Play now.
Elsie: What happened to playing lion with Daddy?
Stanley: He went in the study and closed his door. That means he has to work.
Harry: (gasps) He closed the door? (starts hopping up and down) Oh, goody! Time to chew on the living room couch! (sounds of chewing from next room)
Stanley: I hate it when Daddy has to stop playing with me.

Best Of :: Fiesta
A great live music performance comes from the energy flowing between the band and the crowd. Small venues foster this connection in the best ways. There is often no space between the musicians and the spectators, and the intimacy of the space often leads to the most memorable shows. Yucca Tap Room is the longest-running rock bar in Tempe for a reason. It's a comfortable yet badass place to see a show. Feel like getting close and dancing? There's plenty of room up front. Feel like grabbing a stool, nursing a beer, and enjoying from a distance? You can do that, too. No matter where you take it in, the sound's incredible, and it's no surprise that many a scenester's favorite moments in live music happened at Yucca.
It's inevitable. When you roll up to Cake on a weekend night, there's going to be a line, and probably a long one at that. It's understandable, given the club's 350-person capacity and hotspot status. But before you start plotting a Plan B, cool your Prada heels for a bit and wait patiently. Gaining a golden ticket inside is worth the hassle, considering all the high-style digs and lowbrow thrills that await you. Gleaming with style and panache, Cake embraces Scottsdale's penchant for hedonism and excess with gusto. Boasting the vibe of a French chateau circa 1700 with its leatherette booths, gilded fixtures, and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the club is filled with a libertine atmosphere where drinking and decadence is the order of the day. There's also dancing, which is aided by the beats coming from the top-shelf Funktion-One sound system, widely considered one of the best in the world. The high-definition screens that adorn the walls and play videos of scantily clad ladies grinding on each other help drive home Cake's sultry verve even further, and make one want to return for another night out.
It's simple. If you want to see and be seen after dark in Scottsdale, you typically head to Maya Day & Nightclub, one of the entertainment district's more prominent and well-trafficked spots. And when you want to be seen inside Maya, you head for its expansive dance floor. After all, it's the centerpiece of the entire club, and all eyes are on you. Surrounded by tiers of VIP seating and situated in front of the DJ booth, everyone's gaze, including the evening's guest DJ, tends to drift toward the activity unfolding on the dance floor, one of the largest in Scottsdale. Glowing LED rings and banks of colored spotlights flash overhead, dancing light across all the bodies in motion as Maya's largely female clientele (and the dudes who admire 'em) get down, get their mojo working, or engage in other nighttime social rites.
The Crescent Ballroom proved to all that Charlie Levy knew what he was doing when it comes to the whole "running a kick-ass venue" thing, but his follow-up joint, the subterranean Valley Bar, might be an even better example of his vibe. It's not just cool because it's literally underground; Valley Bar books artists like Thundercat and Foy Vance — not household names, but hot acts among those in the know. And the speakeasy-vibe has inspired some of Phoenix's finest cultural explorations, hosting comedian Anwar Newton's Literally the Worst Show Ever showcase, New Wave dance night The Factory, and our favorite, New Times' Bar Flies (you know it). Valley Bar's a stalwart example that Phoenicians are an experimental and excitable bunch. If you build it, they will come.
Clad in Union Jack flags and welcoming bikers, punks, and various other counterculture-leaning drinkers, TT Roadhouse on 68th Street is about as unpretentious as it gets. Boasting cheap beers, craft brews, and signature Blue Ribbon medchiladas (with a jalapeño floating atop the beer and tomato juice) the joint wears its British pub roots proudly, and embraces the U.K. side of punk with a jukebox stocked with punk and ska. Wood-paneled and dark, TT Roadhouse certainly isn't the most high-energy place in Scottsdale, but who would prefer that to a cool, chill punk bar where the bartenders seem to be having as much fun as you and one of the tables reads "Reserved — go fuck yourself"?
Covered in stickers and a thin layer of grime, the Palo Verde Lounge isn't a nice bar pretending to be a dive; it's a legitimate, bona fide dingy watering hole. And if you've got no qualms with that, you're in for a good time. Local thrash and metal types like to frequent the place, but so do old-school Tempe lifers, the kind of guys who could tell you a story or two about the way the dusty town used to be. Sometimes bands host shows there, though there's no stage and they end taking up most of the real estate that isn't occupied by pool tables, but that's all part of the fun. You get in, belly up, and go for whatever ride the "Dirty Verde" is going to offer.

My current comp is from 2009 (Sony Vaio pcg-3h1l) and takes probably 30 seconds to boot up and 90 seconds to finish digesting whatever its got going on and run properly. Don't know if it has a solid state drive but have PC's progressed a ton in this regard since then?
A computer with a SSD is going to boot much faster regardless of the OS. That said, PC manufacturers tend to add a whole bunch of bullshit startup programs to everything they make, which is part of the reason that Macs tend to boot faster. Get something with an SSD and clean out the junk, and you'll see quick boot times regardless of whether it's a Mac or PC.
Rebexness, you don't. But you need to spend $1500. You can get a good PC laptop for $500-1000. That's my biggest sticking point on the PC; even if I preferred Macs (which I don't) I just can't justify dropping hundreds of dollars more for a machine that is going to function almost identically (particularly for LS purposes--you're going to use Microsoft Word and the internet, maybe an outlining program of some kind; you're not playing games and you're not editing video).
Laxbrah, it might not be expensive to replace, but if there's a 5% chance that my hard drive takes a dump the day before finals start I'd like to avoid that.
Or just buy an SSD and/or back up everything to your Google Drive so you don't have to worry about it.

Fire up Ryan Fitzpatrick for a Week 7 streamer
Tom Van Wyhe breaks down why you need to stream Derek Carr this week and give Ryan Fitzpatrick another look.
Fire up Ryan Fitzpatrick for a Week 7 streamer
Three streaming quarterbacks in the top 13? I'll take it, although I regret passing on Brian Hoyer, a shoo-in candidate against Jacksonville, which features the worst pass coverage in the NFL.
More surprising was seeing Ryan Fitzpatrick pass for 253 yards and two touchdowns against Washington's top-five pass rush. He even ran for an 18-yard touchdown, the 12th of his career. The talent around Fitzpatrick, including Chris Ivory, Brandon Marshall, and Eric Decker, makes him an intriguing, if limited upside, fantasy stream most weeks. In fact, he's been among the most consistent quarterbacks in the league. Here are his fantasy points each week of the season, using standard scoring.
While his Week 6 is well above his weekly standard, most of that is due to the running score. His overall passing numbers have been remarkably consistent. This doesn't make him a bad stream. I'd argue the opposite. There are certainly weeks when getting 15-20 points is all you really want, or need, from you quarterback. Fitzpatrick balances the risk-reward scales in your favor under those circumstances.
But he's also been consistent for another reason: his defense. New York has allowed just 15 points per game this season, the best rate in the league. This has enabled the Jets offense to more easily balance the run and pass. This week, they face New England, an opponent accustomed to scoring 30-plus points each week. Consequently, one expects Fitzpatrick will need to find the endzone more often than usual to keep up.

Simpson Trial Shows Need for Proper Use of Forensic Science, Experts Say
By GINA KOLATA
Published: October 11, 1995
If ever there was a criminal case in which scientific evidence should have taken center stage, it was the O. J. Simpson case. It was the DNA found in blood at the crime scene and in Mr. Simpson's home and Ford Bronco that carried prosecutors beyond motive, means and opportunity to the point where they could say they had direct physical proof that he was the killer.
Most of the jurors who have spoken publicly about their deliberations said they acquitted Mr. Simpson because they believed he was innocent. But they also criticized elements of the prosecution's case, including the scientific evidence.
As the Simpson trial made clear, the police themselves chipped away at what could have been the bedrock of the prosecution's case by bungling the all-important chain of evidence handling all along the way: placing blood evidence swatches inside plastic, instead of paper containers, where their DNA could degrade; collecting some blood evidence weeks after the crimes had been committed; walking around for hours with a vial of blood evidence instead of delivering it immediately to a laboratory for preservation, packaging and storing, and spilling Mr. Simpson's blood in the very laboratory where, shortly after, other samples would be tested.
Although no other laboratory has been subjected to the scrutiny that the Los Angeles one has, a number of experts believe that other laboratories engage in similarly sloppy practices.
Many experts say the Los Angeles Police Department's apparent mishandling of evidence in the Simpson trial may typify what happens in lower-profile cases nationally, but those defendants are generally too poor to mount a counterattack that scrutinizes the quality of the genetic evidence against them.
"We are seeing a rapid proliferation of this technology," said William Thompson, a law professor at the University of California at Irvine who assisted the defense. "Initially, it was done by a limited number of high-quality labs with Ph.D. scientists. Now it's used by cops in lab coats."
The only assurance that a laboratory, at least, can reliably perform DNA tests is that its practices have been accredited, scientists say. But since only a minority of the nation's laboratories, including police laboratories, are accredited, there is no guarantee that most DNA testing centers have the technical skills and training to make proper use of a crime-fighting technique that could provide ironclad evidence in criminal cases.
"If you have accreditation, then the jury, the judge, the public has some measure, some demonstration to make them feel better about the lab -- that it's not just some wild, unregulated field," said Dr. Paul Ferrara, the immediate past president of the American Society of Crime Directors Laboratory Accreditation Board.
Dr. Ferrara noted, however, that only about one-third of the nation's approximately 60 DNA laboratories have been accredited, and the Los Angeles Police Department's lab is not among them. Just one commercial laboratory -- Cellmark Diagnostics in Germantown, Md. -- is accredited, although about a dozen offer DNA testing services, Dr. Ferrara said.
Dr. Gerald Coyne, a geneticist at the University of Chicago who also is a consultant to defense lawyers, said that if the Los Angeles police had "a decent lab, they could not have mounted an attack on the DNA."
One juror, Anise Aschenbach, a 61-year-old white woman, said last week in a telephone interview broadcast on ABC News that she had first voted to convict Mr. Simpson, but switched because "most of the evidence was DNA evidence and that's what was so shaky."
Such testaments, together with the Simpson verdict, said Randolph Jonakait, a professor at the New York University School of Law, should "force labs to think a whole lot more carefully about the procedures they use to collect, preserve and test any kind of evidence, especially DNA evidence."
But some legal scholars wonder whether even the crushing blow that the Simpson verdict dealt to prosecutors will shake laboratories out of their complacency. After all, they note, forensic work is rarely challenged in court -- most defendants plead guilty when faced with DNA evidence -- so labs may feel that they can risk continuing to do business as usual.
Paul Gianelli, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, said that police departments might try to rationalize the status quo because they realize that a case like the Simpson one comes along once in a century. "You could say, 'Hey, every time you have an O. J. Simpson with that kind of money, you really have to worry,' " Mr. Gianelli said.
In theory, DNA analysis is the most powerful forensic tool ever discovered. Nothing is more individual than a person's genetic code, carried in the DNA of every cell. But it is a technique whose use requires extreme care and impeccable laboratory conditions.
By comparing DNA from blood found at the crime scene, for example, to the DNA from blood taken from Mr. Simpson, scientists were able to say whether the DNA in that blood was his. But in light of the questions raised about the police laboratory, jurors, in turn, were left questioning how that DNA got there.

Excited to see it!
jeez – get over your crush on Hamm already. That's not a movie review. Nor would he be a good Bond. Just because he could chug a martini in Mad Men and looks good in a suit and tie doesn't mean he has the physicality for Bond. He was great in Bridesmaids, but that goofy role completely undermines his credibility as a Bond — and all his other movie roles (Million Dollar Arm, etc.) have fizzled. Let's face it, he's a TV star — not a movie star — and DEFINITELY NOT A BOND!!!
Idris Elba should play James Bond.
very strange 'review' to spend the first 2 paragraphs on how Jon Hamm should be 007.
John Hamm cannot act his way out of the proverbial paper bag. Not only that, he just doesn't have the magic. Come on! Heads up, casting agents: You can do better than this.

When street thief Selth Barnicade pulls off his biggest pickpocketing venture yet, he seizes the opportunity to raise himself from squalor. Armed with a fine dagger and clothed in rich garments, he is ready at last for his revenge on the wealthy. His plans quickly go awry, however, when he is ensnared in conflicts far deadlier than turf wars and dodging soldiers. Marked for death by foes wielding magic and influence in society, he has no choice but to trust a wandering priest named Fredrick, whose own mystical powers give Selth a fighting chance once again. Together with Turgin, a mighty warrior bearing a sword of power, they seek out the lair of their enemies. What they discover are conspiracies and occult societies extending their reach to the throne itself, with the Rod of Faercon, that ancient artifact of dominion, hanging in the balance.Despite his wishes, Selth finds himself caught between warring factions and battling his way across the Northlands. Inhuman monsters, undying soldiers, bandit hordes, assassins, and magic-wielding armies will prove inescapable as Selth struggles to reach his ultimate goal: Mount Zenola, home of the reclusive Xath dwarves. There he hopes at last to gain refuge from his pursuers and to win the weapons needed to defeat them once and for all. But this quest may turn deadlier than any challenge so far as obscure riddles, insatiable beasts, and nature itself work against him. Fresh allies met along the journey—a priest, warriors, and a wizard—could tip the balance in his favor, if they prove reliable. In the end, Selth Barnicade knows that his life is in his own hands and that he will either survive or perish by rod or by dagger.

About MeMy name is Charlotte Daintelle and I am a 23 year old experienced and published model based in Essex, UK. I specialise in fashion, vintage/pin-up and glamour/lingerie genres however I like to think I am very versatile so can adapt to other styles such as beauty, hair, editorial and commercial.
Currently I am looking to update my portfolio so please get in touch if you would like to work with me. I am based in Southend in essex but I am willing to travel (by car or train). I can only do weekends at the moment as I do not have a lot of holiday left to take at work.
I am able to do my hair and make up to a relatively high standard but I am also happy to work with make up artists and hair stylists to create looks beyond my skill. I have a large photoshoot wardrobe that consists of a large selection of lingerie, fashion items, evening dresses, vintage inspired lingerie and dresses etc.
Should you require any references or further/more recent portfolio images please message me and I will provide them to you. In the meantime, please follow me on twitter and Instagram @CharDaintelle and like my page on facebook www.facebook.com/CharlotteDaintelleModel
Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!

|Fishing Guild
The Fishing Guild is a members-only guild located in a fenced area north of East Ardougne; west of Hemenster, which was released on 17 June 2002. To enter, players must have a Fishing level of 68; boosts from fishing potions, fish pies (both +3 Fishing boost), admiral pies (+5 Fishing boost), or brown spicy stews (-5 to +5 range of Fishing boost) can be used to boost one's level in order to enter the guild, making the lowest level to possibly enter 63.
Aside from Catherby, the Fishing Guild is one of the most popular places to fish because of the nearby bank.
Outside of the guild is the Master Fisher. You can talk to him to receive fishing advice or to get a Fishing cape for 99,000 coins. You can also trade with him; he sells fishing bait, feathers, and fish.
The fishing guild is located southwest of Seers Village and north of Ardougne. There are several transportation options
- Teleport to Camelot and run west through Seers' Village and the southwest through Hemenester.
- Teleport to Ardougne and run north. (requires Plague City).
- Use a Skills necklace to teleport directly outside the front door.
- Use the lunar spell Fishing Guild Teleport.
- Use a Combat bracelet to teleport to the Ranging Guild and run west.
- Using the Ardougne cloak 2/3/4, teleport to the farming patch north of Ardougne and head west.
- Using the Fishing cape to teleport directly to the guild, just outside the house with the cooking range.
Entrance hallEdit
Here is a range, which you can use to cook food. It is fairly close to a bank, but there is an everlasting fire directly next to the bank in the Rogues' Den. A lobster pot, harpoon, and fishing net spawn here. There is also a ladder here, but there's nothing important up the ladder.
You can access your bank here. It is connected to the fishing store. Notably, this is the closest bank to shark and lobster fishing spots. The bank is also a location used in Treasure Trails. Blowing a raspberry whilst completing a hard clue scroll causes a double agent to appear. This near immediate access to a bank makes the Fishing Guild brilliant for profit and experience alike.
Fishing StoreEdit
There is a Fishing Guild Shop run by a man named Roachey. He has a supply of fishing bait (2 coins each) and feathers (3 coins each).
He will buy and sell player-stocked raw or cooked cod, mackerel, bass, tuna, lobster and swordfish.
There are about 11 cage/harpoon (lobsters and tuna/swordfish) spots, and about 9 net/harpoon (bass, mackerel, cod, casket, plus sharks) spots scattered around two docks. The northern dock is closest to the bank, whilst the southern dock is closest to the cooking range. There is also a man walking around on the northern dock. The northern dock usually has more cage/harpoon spots than the southern dock, whilst the southern dock usually has more net/harpoon spots, though there is a chance of the spots going on the opposite dock.
The guild is ideal for players fishing sharks, lobsters, tuna, and swordfish. The proximity of a bank and a range allows almost non-stop fishing, making it a great place to train.

The Windows 8.1 store will not open. It says "cannot open, try again later." Can you help me fix the Windows store?
There are a couple of possibilities, let's start with the simplest ones. Make sure you have installed all of your Windows updates from Microsoft.
If that doesn't help try typing wsreset at your Metro Start Screen. You don't need to open anything, just type it. It will show up in the search charm. Click on it to run. That will reset the store.
If you still cannot access the store, and are having trouble with other apps, it's possible that your user profile may be corrupt. I suggest creating another profile for your computer. Just type "create an account" in the search charm and click on the result.
Then create your new profile.
Then try logging on with that account to see if you can access the store from there.
This could also be caused by incompatibility with your anti-virus. Some people have reported this issue with Avast. You may need to uninstall AVAST, then also uninstall the apps that aren't working. Restart Windows, then re-install those apps and then re-install the latest version of Avast.
You can also run the Apps Troubleshooter from Microsoft. It may be able to diagnose the problem. I hope one of these solutions helps.

The London football club are the defending champions of Europe after beating Bayern Munich in the final of the Champions League last year. Chelsea have a rare opportunity to become the first team to win the Champions League and the following year lift the Europa League title as well.
The Blues though had to rely on Thursday night on a last minute free-kick from Brazilian David Luiz to sneak past the home team, Basel, who equalised through a contentious penalty.
Victor Moses scored his third goal in as many Europa League matches to give Chelsea the lead in the 12th minute.
It seemed the Champions League holders would return home with a vital away goal and a win under their belt but Czech referee Pavel Kralovec had other ideas, awarding a bogus penalty to the home side.
Fabian Schar converted the 87th-minute spot kick to keep Basel's dream of qualifying for final alive.
However, Luiz's free-kick in the 94th minute beat Basel's wall of players and goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who was the man of the match.
Meanwhile, in Istanbul, Turkey's Fenerbahce defeated their Portuguese rivals Benfica 1-0 in the semifinal first leg.
The Turkish club, who missed a penalty in the first half, found the precious goal thanks to Egemen Korkmaz's header in the 71st minute, which gave them a narrow lead to take to Lisbon next week.

Noah is a big fan of Jungle Book and he loves fast food restaurant toys, what kind doesn't? So he was super excited when this package came and he tore right in. He really thought the toys were fun and I thought they were pretty creative and liked that they were games instead of action figures that didn't do anything! We love the Jungle Book and were happy to watch the DVD of the show, brought back some memories!
Almost 120 years after the original release of Rudyard Kipling's classic 1894 story, The Jungle Book series returns for the first time in 3D CGI 52×11 minute television series and a 60 minutes television feature in Hi-definition CGI animation. Drama, excitement and adventure mixed with a high element of comedy tell tales of how Mowgli lives and survives in the jungle, where his only companions are animals. His escapades reflect his daredevil, fearless, high spirited and fun-loving tales.

The essential features of United Kingdom general practice are the registered patient list, continuity of care, comprehensive care relating to all age groups and across all disease groups and the unified medical record. International evidence indicates that these are vitally important to the cost-effectiveness of the UK health system and to the quality of health outcomes in this country. Countries that provide primary care services without these essential attributes demonstrate fragmentation of care, more expensive care, and often poorer health outcomes.
Health care within a state-funded system with limited resources cannot be made available as if it was a consumer benefit equivalent to shopping at the supermarket. An appropriate level of restraint on the part of individuals in relation to self-limiting and non-serious medical symptoms and conditions is vital. A populist and consumerist approach to the provision of health care is likely to lead to inappropriate care, waste of scarce resources and increased health inequalities.
On behalf of the Royal College of General Practitioners I have spent a considerable amount of time collaborating with the profession and governments overseas in developing primary care systems. It is ironic to find that other countries are increasingly valuing and copying the essential features of our primary care system at a time when our own government, in spite of its rhetoric in support of primary care, proposes untried and unevaluated systems which have the potential to damage and degrade the service.
A more sensible approach would be to provide the additional resources that are clearly available and build on the current success of our system in a collaborative way with the nursing and medical professions.

My boss of almost 2 years is set to retire in May. I have had 6 bosses since I've been in Planning. Four have been middle-aged guys (here is one with 3 Cyburbians and 2 other co-workers: http://www.cyburbia.org/gallery/show...php?photo=9425) and contrary to what I read many years ago about middle-aged white-guy bosses, they've all been great. The two lousy ones? A 30-ish female and a mid-thirties guy.
The middle-aged guys always seem to be the nicest, bond with their employees (in a good, clean way of course), teach you the most, etc. The one in the photo was retiring early a couple years ago and is still missed.

Belle Oaks golf course is getting torn up by wild hogs. They root under the grass for grubs, and make huge ruts, like a plow. Interestingly enough, they don't usually do it in the fairways, but mostly alongside the short grass, in the rough. I don't know if they are exercising good golf etiquette, or the short grass of the fairway has fewer grubs.

Mr Vardey said he planned to return to the securities industry from where the Exchange recruited him in 1992. He is to leave next March.
In the spring he was widely tipped as the likeliest internal candidate for the chief executive's job after Michael Lawrence was forced out because of disagreements with the board over the new computerised order book trading system.
But the Exchange board decided not to consider internal candidates, and Gavin Casey was brought in from Merrill Lynch as chief executive in August.
In the stock market, there was no suggestion of anything other than an amicable parting with Mr Casey, in stark contrast to the blazing rows that led to the departure of Mr Lawrence. But Mr Vardey is nevertheless likely to be entitled to a pay-off. According to the annual report all the Exchange's executive directors are on one-year rolling contracts, and he is to leave just over three months after resigning.
The Exchange said: "There are no payments being made to Mr Vardey other than those to which he is contractually entitled under his contract of employment."
Observers believe Mr Vardey is leaving because he helped reorganise himself out of a senior job at the Exchange, which is slimming down and concentrating on its core activities.
This has left less scope for a board which - with Mr Vardey - comprises four full-time executive directors and a chief executive.
The Exchange confirmed that Mr Vardey is not being replaced, and it is expected that his departure will lead to further reorganisation.
Last year he was the Exchange's highest paid executive after Mr Lawrence, earning a salary of pounds 170,000, a performance bonus of pounds 56,000 and benefits of more than pounds 13,000.
Mr Vardey said he had always intended to leave the Stock Exchange after four or five years. He was returning to the securities industry because "that is where I came from, that is the business I know".
Mr Vardey was best known recently for pushing through the new computerised order-driven trading system, which is to be inaugurated next October.
However, the main technical and regulatory elements of the system have now been agreed and by the time Mr Vardey leaves in March it is expected to be in the trial stage.
He was also involved in the Exchange's move from a fortnightly account to rolling settlement and the introduction of the AIM market for small firms.
Mr Vardey's marketing of the Exchange abroad led to a memorandum of understanding with China and the first Chinese share was listed on the Exchange this week.

Just a little more proof that police can't help you until after something has happened. It's up to you not to be a victim. The "convicts" in prison are there because they committed a crime. They weren't stopped from doing it, which means someone or multiple someones were victims of these crimes.

The old venue is still fondly remembered by true F1 fans everywhere. Albert Park is good, but Adelaide was even better - and much less up itself according to (non-Victorian) Aussies. No need to panic if Melbourne falls through - let's just go back to South Australia. 7 agree 1 disagree

Sum of 2 Numbers from a Set in O(n log n) Algorithm
Lubo and Mike are building a "do all" robot in CS148 and have found that they have to fit two lego pieces side by side into an opening. The opening is x inches wide and the sum of the widths of the two pieces has to be exactly equal to the width of the opening, otherwise, their robot will fall apart during the demo. They have a huge collection of lego pieces of varying widths at their disposal and have to pick two pieces which satisfy the above constraint.
Since the Computer Science department at Brown believes in doing every- thing through a well defined algorithm, you should supply these poor guys an algorithm for doing the task, and one that is asymptotically efficient! So, here goes your exact problem.
You are given a set of n real numbers and another real number x. Describe a O(nlogn)-time algorithm that determines whether or not there exist two elements in S whose sum is exactly x. Hint : Doesn't the O(n log n) term make you feel that sorting is involved in some way?
Solution Preview
Yes it is done by sorting
I assume that you have some familiarity with algorithms.
First, let us note, that if you look at a particular Lego piece of length y, you can
calculate what should be the length of another piece to complement it:
it should be (x-y).
Every piece can be either primary or complementary.
Therefore, if we can arrange so that we sort some structures in which every piece enters in two copies of a suitably defined structure, in one with its length (y), and in another with its complementary length (x-y), we can find a needed couple in O(n log n) moves, because a matching couple, if any exists, would be one next to another in the sorted list.
Here is an example of how to organize such structures for actual programming.
Let the structure be
struct Triplet {
int Length ;
bool bPrimary ;
int ID
Here, the ID is just the number of the block needed to find it again if you want it,
and the couple (Length, bPrimary) can be either
(y, ...
Solution Summary
This solution discussed how you can arrange to sort to sort the legal structure for actual programming, defines the comparison, sorts the structures and provides an example for the coding using the lego blocks of hypothetical length. This solution is 736 words.

See above photo. I plan to finish this area but there are numerous coaxial cables. Has anyone run across this problem before and come up with a nice solution?
cables in the wall with an access panel/vent cover/junction box/cabinet to get at connectors
one in 8 out
mount your spliters on a 3'x3' pice of ply would and and tac down the cables mount that to the wall and spacer between it and a picture on a hinge
Basically you want a box in the wall with some sort of cover.

The announcement by the Conservative government in Ottawa this week that it is withdrawing from the Kyoto Treaty on global emissions has triggered fresh charges that Canada, once seen as a force for social liberalism and environmental responsibility, is on an accelerating train to the political right.
"Next may be a woman's right to choose, or gay marriage," the former prime minister and Liberal leader Jean Chrétien warned in an email to supporters. "Then might come capital punishment. And one by one, the values we cherish as Canadians will be gone."
Since winning re-election with his first defendable majority in the national parliament in May, Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper has enacted a range of right-of-centre initiatives overriding opposition objections. This week, his government also announced a ban on female Muslims wearing face veils when taking the oath of allegiance to win citizenship. Equally controversial have been steps significantly to ease national gun controls.
The political risks for Mr Harper seem small, however. Both the main national opposition parties – the Liberals and the NDP – are functioning without permanent leaders and recent polls show wide support for his policies even though that is more true of the western provinces than it is of Quebec. A new survey published by the Institute for Research on Public Policy found that nearly two-thirds of Canadians think their country is on the "right track".
The retreat from the 2005 Kyoto Protocol, the only legally binding document on global emissions, will compound the despair of environmentalists who already see the rapid exploitation of Canada's tar sands resources as a betrayal of its once-proud ecological record. "Kyoto, for Canada, is in the past," Peter Kent, the minister for the environment, told parliament on Monday. "It's really only the Europeans who are staying with Kyoto.
"The Harper government's decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol tarnishes Canada before the world," John Ibbitson of The Globe and Mail lamented.
Elizabeth May, the leader of the Canadian Greens, said: "This is not just big, this is disastrous for Canada."
The decision came the day after the international community agreed a compromise solution in Durban, South Africa, to impose cuts on emissions that all the big polluters in theory will adhere to.

Volunteer with us
London's Boatyards: A Living History Project
We're looking for volunteers to part of our unique project, on London's boatyards funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Working with the Museum of London, volunteers will be given extensive training in conducting oral history interviews and researching the history of the boatyards in London archives. They will have the chance to meet boat and barge builders, many of whom have family connections to the river going back generations, and to visit their boatyards. Volunteers also have the opportunity to work with the arts and education charity Digital:works, and to be trained in interviewing on film for an oral history film of the boatyards. Their research and recorded interviews will contribute to a published book, website, oral history film and series of exhibitions in the autumn. If you're interested in getting involved, and learning more about the history of the working river, we want to hear from you!
We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers who can give around five days of their time between April and July 2017. The deadline for applications is Friday 31 March.
For more information and to apply please contact Bea Moyes, Project Manager on email@example.com or 020 7928 8998.
Totally Thames 2017
We'll be back in September 2017 with an inspiring month-long season, which brings the river to life via an exciting season of arts, cultural and river events throughout the 42-mile stretch of the Thames in London. Stay tuned for future volunteer opportunities throughout Totally Thames.

OneNote is Microsoft's must underrated app, in my opinion. I've always enjoyed the inking features on Windows tablet PCs. Now iPad users can get in on the fun too.
It's surprising that it's taken so long for drawing support to come to the iPad, given the nature of the tablet. (Android tablets already have digital ink.) But the new features look great.
There's a new Draw tab on the ribbon, where you can select a pen, marker, highlighter, or eraser and choose from four default colors (and 20 more via the color wheel) as well as change the line thickness. So now you can sketch or doodle on any OneNote page and combine ink with photos and text:
Here's the download link to the free app in the App Store. [via Venture Beat]

Love watching birds at work/play. I have a hummingbird feeder that gets over 50 unique visitors/day!
Those birds are so very beautiful. What colors! Thanks!
I love that you took this video. My big exciting spot this summer was a pair of immature golden eagles at our place in Tobermory. Had my binoculars with me and everything – they were just a few hundred feet away, amazing thing to see!
Wow, one of the birds in the bath is a Chestnut-backed
That is about the south end of their range. The gray
sides denote that it is a Marin County and southward bird.
The other ones are Purple Finch, I think. They look like
our House Finch, so they could be those.
The chickadees have been around in large numbers in the area… the Sutro Forest undergrowth has been full of them, as well as the gardens around.
Two House Finches; one each Chestnut-backed Chickadee and Lesser Goldfinch.
these birds are so cute hope that they enjoyed the bath

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521005396, Paperback)India is a land of enormous diversity. Cross-cultural influences are everywhere in evidence, in the food people eat, the clothes they wear, and in the places they worship. This was ever the case, and at no time more so than in the India that existed from 1200 to 1750, before the European intervention. This beautifully illustrated book takes the reader on a journey across the political, religious and cultural landscapes of medieval India. It is fluently composed, with a cast of characters that will educate students and general readers alike.

Has there been some malware, some virus, some keystroke detector interfering with my machine?
Yes. And No.
I have removed...
...Norton 360.
And not before time.
You may wonder how I happened to have it installed at all.
My initial mistake was installing Norton Internet Security 2006. It had topped the tests in terms of virus protection and even though it was known it would have an impact on PC performance I figured it couldn't be that much.
How wrong I was.
It was a disaster. The machine went like me on Sunday morning.
When the one year subscription was up I took advantage of the upgrade to the 2007 version hoping that Symantec had fixed the speed issue.
Wrong again.
It was terrible. But I still clung to hope that an upgrade would come and my machine could breathe again so I paid for another year's subscription.
At the end of the next year - now 2008 - I took off my head, put on a pumpkin and upgraded to Norton 360, which was meant to be the ducks guts and fix all previous issues, as well as adding in a whole bunch of new features.
Incredibly, given my history with the Norton product, I subscribed for two years to take advantage of the cheaper yearly price.
In chess that move would be annotated with a ?? meaning game losing blunder.
It is a shocking product. Truly shocking.
It is always stealing CPU time, scanning at seemingly random times but especially when I had a lot going on. It's as if it knew exactly when it could cause the greatest slow down. The impact on system boot time was remarkable; it would take 15-20 minutes before the bastard thing would stop its scanning and let me do something. I turned on every quick boot setting I could but to no avail.
While my life expectancy was greater then the men standing on the deck of the Titanic singing Near My God To Thee their spirits were higher than mine.
Until today.
For today I exorcised Norton 360.
I have installed the trial version of AVG Internet Security. My machine is ready to go within 2 minutes of booting up. I can load my 10Mb+ Excel files in no time at all. With Norton 360 I had to turn MS Office scanning off, as it would take over a minute to load the files.
All is good.
The devil is gone.
While my arse still points towards the ground I will never buy another Symantec product again.
You shouldn't either.
