What is the rhinoplasty surgery procedure?
Rhinoplasty is a type of surgery which involves the nose; sometimes it is called a nose job. It is good to keep the nose in the right proportion, hence maintaining the facial balance. A well-qualified and experienced surgeon will ensure the surgery is performed perfectly. The rhinoplasty surgery will also remove structural defects, and this will improve breathing. When surgery is done to improve breathing, it requires great evaluation and expertise. This is because it involves the nasal structure (adjusting it to a better alignment), which is related to breathing and airflow. A nose job may involve rhinal asymmetry, changing of wide or upturned nostrils, nose size and width, an enlarged nose tip, or a nose with depression. When undertaking a surgery to obtain facial balance, consider the fact that each face is asymmetric and so the results won't be exactly symmetric.
Cost of the procedure when planning to have rhinoplasty, it is good to consider the cost of taking the surgery. The price will vary depending on the surgeon; each will quote their price according to affordability, experience, and services, but the average price is $8,000.
As much as one may prefer cheap, remember it is a surgery, and it requires specialized skills. Cheap is expensive, and as long as the job is performed perfectly, it is worth the extra cost. It is crucial to confirm whether the quoted cost will include anesthesia fee, facility cost, prescription medication, pre-surgery garments, clinical test and surgeon's fee. The patient might budget for the process, only to learn they have to add some cash for services, which were not included. Always use a board-certified surgeon; this will ensure the price paid is in line with others in the area.
Consultation and considerations
There are several factors to consider before undertaking a nose job, mostly lifestyle and health related. They include smoking, physical health, one is ready for the procedure, and when facial growth is complete. To undertake this, the patient should not be a smoker, because this has an effect on the nose. Physical health is crucial to ensure quick recovery; otherwise, it will take ages to heal. Readiness is good because it will fasten the healing process; facial growth will ensure the surgery is final.
Before the surgery, there is rhinoplasty consultation with the surgeon. This is why the choice of the surgeon is important. Select the one whom you are comfortable with. Whether it is in terms of experience or the qualification, by doing this, the whole process will be simple. The discussions will be professional because there are trust and free talking. During the consultation, the discussion will mostly be about the patient needs with regard to breathing and appearance, prior surgeries, current medications and other drugs, and the health conditions (allergies and previous medications). The surgeon will be responsible for performing tests to know the risk factors involved, explain all the surgery options, measure and examine the face, explain the outcomes and any possible complications, take photos, and recommend the treatment to use. The patient should be ready to ask questions; this will help in understanding the whole process.
The procedure
The patient may also be required to prepare for the procedure. This will entail stopping smoking, taking a lab test, adjusting or staying away from some medications, avoiding aspirins and anti-inflammatory medication because they increase bleeding. It is good to know the location where the surgery will take place, in order to arrange for transport. It is advisable to have a driver to and from the surgery, and someone to talk to before the surgery to reduce the anxiety, excitement or stress.
Choose a surgeon you can trust, but always consider one who is fulfilling all continuing medical education requirements on patient safety. It operates in a credited facility and is strictly ethical. There are mainly six steps involved:
- Anesthesia – The medications are administered to ensure the patient is comfortable.
- Incision – The procedure may be a closed (incision is hidden inside) or open one (incision is across the columella).
- Reshaping the structure – This is done by removing bone or cartilage; sometimes it is an addition of cartilage grafs.
- Correcting septum – If it is deviated, it's straightened and projections removed to improve breathing.
- Closing incision – This is done when the nose is in the desired shape, by redraping nasal tissue and skin.
- Results – For a few days, the nose may require gauze and splints backing for support as it heals.

Newly redesigned 2013 Ford Escape hits the streets Comments Off on Newly redesigned 2013 Ford Escape hits the streetsNot only is the 2013 Ford Escape turning heads as it begins showing up on Canadian roads because of its stunning new design, but it is also making a name for its excellent fuel economy.
One of the main reasons for the great fuel efficiency in the Escape is its innovative Active Grille Shutter System. The innovative system is positioned between the grille opening and the radiator – the shutter is monitored by the engine control module and it automatically opens and closes to maintain the optimum operating temperature, as well as ideal aerodynamics.
"The fuel economy of the all-new Escape showcases the continued success of Ford's development of smaller, yet more powerful engines, " said Raj Nair, group vice president, Ford Global Product Development. "Ford understands people want fuel-efficient vehicles without sacrificing power and space requirements."
Impressive indeed. The new 2013 Ford Escape is available at Ford of Canada dealers now.
Chevy Volt electric car taking Canada by storm Comments Off on Chevy Volt electric car taking Canada by stormEver since GM unveiled the Chevy Volt as a concept car back in 2007, car enthusiasts having been counting the days until the eco-vehicle would be made available as a production car.
Well, that day has now come as the 2012 Volt is available in wide release across both Canada and the USA.
An electric car with a range extending (gas) engine, you can plug in the Volt and drive locally using only electric power, but you can also drive as long as you like with the gas engine kicking once electric power is depleted. So, as opposed to 'battery powered' cars, those who have driven the Volt claim that it actually feels like a real car.
Chevy expects owners to plug their Volts in to 110- or 220-Volt power to recharge their lithium-ion battery packs, most likely overnight at home. That gives the car 25 to 40 miles of electric range using that stored energy.
You'll be seeing Volts with much more regularity on Canadian roads. Maybe you'll even try one…

Details are yet to be released but word is that markets will receive a 163 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, while others get a version (Canada perhaps) with 148 hp and 236 lb-ft.
We`ll watch with interest.

Toyota rolls out Gas Pedal solution Comments Off on Toyota rolls out Gas Pedal solution
A tumultuous few days for Toyota corporation came to an apex today as they rolled out a solution to the issue of the accelerating gas pedals that had spawned a worldwide recall of over 2 million vehicles.
From Globe Drive:
Toyota Canada announced Monday that it will begin fixing faulty accelerator pedals by the end of this week.
The repair involves installing a steel reinforcement bar into the gas pedal assembly which will reduce tension that has caused pedals to stick.
The company is preparing a written notice for owners of affected Toyota vehicles that will include information about the condition, the remedy and what customers should do. It will be sent by first-class mail as required under Transport Canada's recall rules.
"By the end of this week, we'll begin the mailings for customers with affected vehicles,†said Sandy Di Fellice, director of external affairs.
Ms. Di Fellice said customers should contact their local Toyota dealership to schedule appointments to install the replacement part. They can also call Toyota's customer help line at 1-888-869-6828.
The auto maker recalled 2.3 million vehicles in North America, 270,000 of them in Canada. Toyota announced last week that it was halting sales and production of its most popular models in the United States and Canada to focus on the recall.
The vehicles affected are:
Certain RAV4, 2009-2010
Corolla, 2009-2010
Matrix, 2009-2010
Avalon, 2005-2010
Certain Camry, 2007-2010
Highlander, 2010
Tundra, 2007-2010
Sequoia, 2008-2010
Hopefully this fix fix will provide safety for Toyota drivers across Canada.
Will be interesting what, if any, effect this has on Toyota sales moving forward.

Strong dollar leads to lower prices on Porches in Canada Comments Off on Strong dollar leads to lower prices on Porches in Canada
The resurgence of the Canadian dollar has led to a price break for Canadians interested in purchasing a Porsche.
Porsche Cars North America is the first automaker to announce that it will be sharply reducing the prices of its vehicles sold in Canada. Overall, the price of a 2007 Porsche model compared to a 2008 will go down a full 10%, so a 2007 Cayman that cost $69,600 in Canada last year will cost $63,500 today. Unfortunately, a 2008 Cayman in the U.S. still only starts at $49,400, but at least it's something.
Peter Schwarzenbauer, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, Inc., said yesterday in a press release:
"We cannot ignore our customers and dealers in Canada who can look to the U.S. and recognize a substantial price difference."
With the Canadian dollar currently sitting around $1.02, it should quite interesting when, and if other carmakers follow suit.
The DeLorean isn't dead Comments Off on The DeLorean isn't dead
Interesting to see that a Texas based company is reviving the once super-cool DeLorean.
Mechanic and businessman Stephen Wynne has begun brining the classic car back in limited production in a warehouse facility outside of Houston.
The creation of renowned automotive engineer John DeLorean, DMC eventually made fewer than 9,000 cars, distinctive for their gull-wing doors, stainless-steel exterior and rear-engine design. An estimated 6,500 remain on the road.
Wynne has experience working with DeLoreans and that fueled his interest in brining it back.
Wynne formed the company in 1995, when the bulk of his business was working on original DeLoreans at a Houston garage. Still, he needed a name, and because there was nothing legally preventing him from using the original, he decided to give it a shot. He even called John DeLorean, who wished him luck.

Researchers from Kansas State University developed three reasons for superstitious behavior: to gain control over uncertainty, to decrease feelings of helplessness, and because it is easier to rely on superstition instead of coping strategies. One of the major discoveries was that people who believe that chance and fate control their lives are more likely to be superstitious.
In the first study done, the researchers conducted questionnaires with 200 undergraduates, asking about how pessimistic they were, whether they believed in chance or fate, if they liked to be in control and other questions. In order for these discoveries to be credible, other researchers should be able to replicate these findings. For the results to be more reliable, the questionnaires could have been sent out to people of different ages, and more than 200 should be used. These suggestions could help to eliminate bias. In the second study, it was found that when faced with death, people are likely to abandon superstition altogether. Thinking about death would make people feel helpless, and would actually reduce their superstitious belief. link to article
In contrast, according to the Lilienfeld text, superstitions are due mostly to operant conditioning. Shown by a study done by Skinner involving pigeons and food, superstitious behavior is caused by actions linked to reinforcement by sheer coincidence. The pigeons received reinforcement no matter what they did, but the behavior that the pigeons performed right before being reinforced was strengthened, so they kept on doing it-thinking that that behavior would increase the chances of receiving the food. This reasoning of operant conditioning could be seen as one of the six principles of critical thinking- Occam's Razor, because it is a more simple explanation.

Simple Rules for Better Brain Health – Interview with John Medina
In this episode of the Sixty and Me Show I speak with the amazing brain scientist and best-selling author of Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina. He is the Director of the Brain Centre for Research at Seattle Pacific University and on the faculty at the University of Washington. His passion for the human brain is infectious and stimulating! We discuss myths about the brain, how it really works, the brain rules that are especially applicable to people over 60, and all of the specific things we can do to keep our aging brain energized and healthy.
We talk about the importance of exercise, managing stress, sleep, visual learning and how to use tricks and tips to address and reduce memory loss. He explains how understanding the brain can be applied to education and business. We discuss how the brain changes after 60. Dr. Medina explains the difference between simple forgetfulness and more serious brain disease and also surprises us with a 13 'rule' that he would add if he was updating his best-selling book – power of nostalgia to improve brain function. Enjoy the show!

The Toyota Avanza is a mini MPV designed by Daihatsu. It is produced in Indonesia[5] and also contract assembled in Malaysia (under Perodua) for the first generation. Daihatsu designed and manufactures the vehicle, which is then sold by both Daihatsu and Toyota under Xenia and Avanza name plate respectively. Daihatsu supplies the vehicle to Toyota under a consigned production and OEM manufacturing agreement.[6] The car was launched at the Gaikindo Auto Expo in 2003 and sold over 100,000 units that year. The name "Avanza" was taken from the Italian word "avanzato", which means "advance".
The Avanza is a new model developed as an entry-level MPV. Its spiritual predecessor was the Kijang, whose model program has since been split to two different models (the other being the larger, more expensive Kijang Innova) to expand Toyota's reach in the MPV sector. The Avanza has similar to the Kijang's rural road-capable, rear-wheel drive, body-on-frame design.
In addition to Indonesia and Malaysia, the Avanza is sold in Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, and various other African countries. A rebadged version of the car was sold in China under the FAW badge until 2010.
As of October 2011, there have been 1 million Avanza-Xenia units sold, including 113,000 exported units.[7][8]
Introduced in December 2003, the Avanza is a five-door MPV with a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout. It features a 1.3 L K3-VE gasoline inline-four engine with a maximum output of 92 PS (68 kW; 91 hp) at 6,000 rpm, and a 1.5 L 3SZ-VE gasoline engine that produces 109 PS (80 kW; 108 hp) at 6,000 rpm.

When the Avanza was launched in Indonesia it was available in two models: the 1.3 E and 1.3 G. In January 2005, the Avanza 1.3 S was added with a 1.3 L VVT-i engine and 4-speed automatic that only sold 5000 units. A new exterior color (black) was added at the same time. The Avanza later became one of the best selling cars in Indonesia.
The Avanza was restyled near the end of the third quarter of 2006 with a new grille, new bumpers, new interior, and new front and rear lamps.[9] The 1.3 S was replaced by the 2006 Avanza 1.5 S, using a new 1.5 L 16-valve DOHC VVT-i gasoline engine (similar to the Rush SUV) along with the new anti-lock braking system. The 1.3 E and 1.3 G models were upgraded to use the 1.3 L 16-valve DOHC VVT-i gasoline engine from the outgoing 1.3 S model.
In Malaysia, the Avanza is available in some models: 1.5 G, 1.5 S in automatic transmission, alongside 1.5 E and 1.3 E in both automatic and manual transmission.
In the Philippines, the Avanza has been offered since 2006 with 2 trim levels: J line with a 1.3 L engine, having no power windows and locks, and only available with a manual transmission, while the G line has a 1.5 L engine, and available with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission respectively. In 2008, the J line was made available without the third row seat. This particular line is popularly used as metered taxicabs in the Philippines; although it is sometimes mistaken for a UV vehicle with a dedicated route, like how its ancestors (Tamaraw FX and Revo) were utilized.
The Avanza was updated in 2008 with a new ceiling with grooves to improve airflow to the rear and a new interior colour scheme.
The Avanza has folding seats in the back, forming a third row of seats.

Unlike another trim line which have beige interior color, Veloz has dark grey interior color. On May 2013, Toyota added dual SRS airbag as a standard feature for all Avanza lineups. On June 2014, the Luxury version was introduced to public with additional luxuries, such as wood panel, leather seats, and roof monitor as standard. The audio system was also refined with DVD player. (A touch screen monitor with rear parking camera, TV and sat-nav as seen on Xenia Attivo, was available as an option).
The models that available in Malaysia are 1.3 E, 1.5 E, 1.5 G, and 1.5 S (known in Indonesia as the Veloz).

Mutual Funds:
Assessment of Regulatory Reforms to Improve the Management and Sale of Mutual Funds
GAO-04-533T: Published: Mar 10, 2004. Publicly Released: Mar 10, 2004.

Since September 2003, widespread allegations of abusive practices involving mutual funds have come to light. An abuse called late trading allowed some investors, at times in collusion with pension plan intermediary, broker-dealer, or fund adviser staff, to profit at other investors' expense by submitting orders for fund shares to receive that day's price after the legal cutoff. Other investors were allowed to conduct market timing trades to take advantage of stale prices used by funds to calculate their net asset values at funds with stated policies against such trading. SEC and other regulators have responded with numerous proposals for new or revised practices. Based on a body of work that GAO has conducted involving mutual funds, GAO analyzed and provides views on proposed and final rules involving (1) fund pricing and compliance practices intended to address various mutual fund trading abuses that have come to light recently, (2) fund boards' independence and effectiveness, (3) fund adviser compensation of broker-dealers that sell fund shares, and (4) additional actions regulators could take to further improve transparency and investor understanding of the fees they pay.
GAO commends SEC and other regulators for their swift regulatory response to recently revealed abusive mutual fund practices. However, some proposed actions need to be thoroughly assessed to ensure equitable treatment for all investors and others will need to be reinforced with enhanced compliance, enforcement, and investor education programs to be truly effective. In particular, to prevent further late trading, SEC has proposed that all mutual fund orders be received by funds or designated processors by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but this action may unfairly impact some retail investors that place orders through financial intermediaries. Although GAO supports in the short run the proposed hard 4:00 p.m. close as a way of increasing the certainty that all orders have been legitimately received, GAO believes that SEC should continue to work with industry participants, including pension plan intermediaries, to address concerns that the hard close would adversely affect investors that use such intermediaries. To address market timing, SEC is proposing that funds make greater disclosure of market timing, securities pricing, and portfolio disclosure policies. GAO supports these steps and encourages regulators to educate investors about the importance of such disclosures. To improve mutual fund corporate governance and oversight, SEC has also proposed increasing the proportion of independent directors to 75 percent and to require independent chairs. SEC is also proposing that fund advisers appoint compliance officers that report to fund boards. GAO sees these actions as giving increased prominence to independent members on fund boards of directors and providing them with additional tools to effectively oversee fund practices. However, additional actions may be needed to ensure that independent directors have no relationships with the fund adviser or its personnel that could impair their independence. SEC and other regulators have also proposed that the broker-dealers that sell fund shares make more extensive disclosures about payments they receive from fund advisers. SEC is also seeking comments on how to revise the fees they charge investors that also compensate broker-dealers for selling fund shares. GAO supports these actions as increasing the transparency of these costs to investors but recognizes that the effectiveness of these proposals could be enhanced by expanded compliance and investor education programs. SEC is also seeking information on how fund advisers use investor dollars to obtain research under a practice called soft dollars. Given the increased spotlight that Congress and regulators are placing on the mutual fund industry, GAO believes the time is right to more effectively address the conflicts of interest created by soft-dollar arrangements. In addition, GAO identifies further actions that could be taken to improve disclosure of mutual fund fees to enhance competition among funds on the basis of the fees that are charged to shareholders.

West Nile virus found in mosquitoes & bird from Oakley
By Gary Bogue
Friday, August 13th, 2010 at 6:31 am in Mosquitoes, Mosquitofish, West Nile virus.

Detection late in the year, but inevitable
The Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District is reporting the first virus-positive mosquitoes and bird this year, both from Oakley. The group of mosquitoes was collected from the vicinity of Empire Avenue and El Monte Drive, and the bird was found near W. Cypress Road and O'Hara Avenue.
It's unusual to have our first detection of West Nile virus this late in the year," said Dr. Steve Schutz, scientific program manager for the District. "But, it was only a matter of time. West Nile virus is endemic to Contra Costa County, and California for that matter. West Nile virus and mosquitoes will always be a part of the summer season and as such, we'll always need to take precautions against mosquitoes and their bites."
Those precautions include:
*** Reporting DEAD birds to 877-WNV-BIRD (877-968-2473) or online at http://www.westnile.ca.gov. Not all birds will be picked up and tested, but reporting dead birds provides important information for mosquito control efforts.
*** DEFENDING yourself against mosquitoes by using a repellent with an effective active ingredient such as DEET, Picaridin or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Make sure to follow label directions.
*** DRAINING all sources of standing water that may support mosquito-breeding habitats. Residential sources, such as neglected swimming pools, can be a big producer of mosquitoes in Contra Costa County.
*** Making sure DOOR and window screens fit tight and are in good repair. This will prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
*** Vaccinating your horses. Horses are highly susceptible to West Nile virus – approximately half of the horses that get West Nile virus die or have to be euthanized.
*** Avoiding DAWN and DUSK times when outdoors since this is when mosquitoes are most active.
*** DRESSING appropriately by wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors and mosquitoes are present.
People wishing to be notified about adult mosquito fogging or spraying in residential areas have several options. They may visit the District's website at http://www.ccmvcd.dst.ca.us and opt to receive the notifications automatically by e-mail; they can view information directly on the District's website at http://www.ccmvcd.dst.ca.us; or they may phone the District for a recorded message at 925-771-6195.
Contra Costa Mosquito & Vector Control District, a public health agency, is located at 155 Mason Circle in Concord. Call the District to report mosquito problems at 925-771-6195 or visit their office between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to get FREE mosquitofish for ornamental ponds or horse troughs. Fish are also available at the Antioch Corporation Yard located at 1201 W. 4th Street in Antioch.
For information concerning human West Nile virus symptoms, prevention, or testing, please call the Contra Costa Health Services Department at 888-959-9911 or visit their website at http://cchealth.org.
For information concerning West Nile virus and horses, please call the California Department of Food and Agriculture Animal Health Branch at 916-654-1447.

mining may be applicable for a single uranium ore deposit. Mining creates several categories of waste, including overburden (the rock that is removed prior to ore recovery that is not processed because of low or negligible recoverable uranium), and wastewater. Mined ore must be transported to a processing facility, usually by truck or conveyor.
Processing: Processing refers to all the steps that follow mining and end with the production of yellowcake, the uranium oxide product (U3O8) that is the raw material used for nuclear fuel fabrication. Processing (sometimes referred to as milling) includes ore crushing, grinding, leaching, and uranium recovery from the leached solution. Leaching uses either acidic (usually sulfuric acid) or basic (e.g., sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate) solutions. Separation of the uranium from the leached solution—to obtain yellowcake that can be shipped—requires solution purification, precipitation, dewatering, drying, and packaging. During processing, several waste streams are created. These include tailings (the solid materials that remain after leaching) and excess process water.
Reclamation: Reclamation refers to the activities that occur after mining has been completed for a particular area, and includes actions to prepare the mining site and processing facility for eventual reuse for other purposes after the license to mine and process uranium is terminated. Reclamation may include demolition of buildings and other facilities, decontamination and cleanup, and on-site and/or off-site waste disposal.
Long-term stewardship: For mines and processing facilities on federal and state land, the government retains ownership throughout the operation, leasing or permitting use of the land for mineral extraction and processing. After reclamation and other closure/postclosure requirements are met, the government may enforce institutional controls or other restrictions to ensure maintenance and long-term protection of the environment and public health. For operations on private land, state and federal regulations define requirements for the operator or permittee for closure, reclamation, and postclosure protection. After mining and processing have stopped and the site has been reclaimed, a large volume of low-activity tailings usually remains. In that case, long-term stewardship may include operation and maintenance of water treatment systems or other cleanup technologies. Signage and barriers to keep people from being exposed to remaining environmental hazards may be required. Uranium processing facility tailings impoundments require management in perpetuity, with ownership of the area of the impoundment transferred to the state or federal government.
The National Research Council appointed a committee with broad expertise (Appendix B), encompassing the diverse uranium mining and processing, worker and public health, environmental protection, and regulatory aspects included in the statement of task. The committee met seven times, in Washington, D.C.,

The poet bids a sad farewell to his fancy, his imagination: "Farewell dear mate, dear love!" He doesn't know where he will go or whether he will ever encounter his fancy again. For a long time, the poet and his fancy "lived, joy'd, caress'd together," and now comes the moment of their separation. Yet there are no regrets because the poet has become almost one with his fancy. He even hopes to be united with her again. Maybe in leaving him, fancy is really ushering him "to the true songs," and therefore he declares: "Good-bye — and hail! my Fancy."
This is the final poem of Leaves of Grass proper. The central core of the poem is Whitman's identification with his fancy; and what is identified is the poet's body, not his soul. The "I" in this poem is the body, and the farewell is prompted by the body's impending dissolution. The tone of the poem is surely plaintive, but the poet's pessimism is not very deep. Whitman slowly and steadily realizes the true importance of his association with his fancy. The union between body and fancy paves the way for the transformation of the physical world, since fancy has the power to enable the poet to visualize the world of bliss.
Despite the serious nature of the theme, Whitman has maintained an informal, intimate tone and atmosphere in the poem. The diction is colloquial — for instance, "let me look back a moment" and "may-be we'll be better off." Finally, this poem expresses Whitman's belief that fancy will conquer death and be a harbinger of immortality.

Fallout 3 Help: Steam Game, Windows Live Download issue
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, and I'm still looking for an answer eslewhere, but I thought I'd get this going here.
I bought my copy of Fallout 3 from Steam. Game has worked great so far. This weekend, I purchased my one and only expansion/add-on for the game, Broken Steel, through the Games for Windows Live client. After the purchase, the game downloaded. Once the download finished, the GfWL client told me that it was installing the add-on, and when finished, stated that it was installed. The web site told me that to access the new content, "just walk around a while and you'll hear a radio beacon which starts a quest leading to the new content." Problem is, no beacon. I've killed dozens of enemies and spent nearly an hour just walking the wastes, and so far there is no change. My level is still capped at 20. Clearly the add-on is not registering.
My character is at level 20 and I'm just about to enter Vault 87 (thus, near the end of the OC), but I don't want to go any further if I'm wasting experience. I can't seem to find the download on my machine anywhere, and I don't know how to connect it to my game. Before downloading, I read the FAQ on the Windows site and it told me that all I needed for this to work was "an original copy of the game," which I have.
Any ideas?

Was Broken Steel not available via Steam? I'd imagine it's some incompatibility between the Steam download and the Games for Windows Live download.
Did you ask your question of the Steam support to see if there would be a problem?

I've been digging around on the Steam forums, I think I have a few workarounds to try when I get home. I was kind of hoping someone here had had the same problem.
Yeah, for some reason, only the standard issue of Fallout 3 is available on Steam. No DLC, no GotY Edition. Steam fans are petitioning hard for this to change, but it doesn't look like it'll be any time soon. Believe me, I would prefer it - Games for Windows Live sucks a big one IMO. Steam is excellent (also IMO).

Valar morghulis, valar dohaeris!
I had the exact same problem about two weeks ago.
What I did was first find the folder where the DLC was downloaded too. To do this, because it is hidden, you have to follow the instructions below.
In short you have to find the .esm file of broken steel on your computer, which is in a hidden folder. Once you found it you copy and paste it in the 'data' folder of fallout 3. Then click data files on the fallout 3 launcher and make sure you tick the broken steel box.
That should do the trick. Hope it helps, it sure did the trick for me.
As a last hint I recommend to donwload a simple mod that disables games for windows live entirely in fallout 3. It is in my opinion the most useless feature ever and even slows down your game. Who needs those silly achievements anyway.

Written by the prolific Elizabethan dramatist Thomas Heywood, this two-part play is entered in the Stationer's Register on 16 June 1631, although the actual date of composition is subject to debate. While some critics maintain that Part 1 of the play was written in 1603 (roughly around the time of the death of Elizabeth I), others argue that it was written closer to the 1631 date of publication. The play might also have been composed around 1609-10 – years which saw a rise in the popularity of plays dealing with sea-faring and piracy, and also the years which saw the publication of a pamphlet on Morocco by one Robert Cotton titled A True Historicall Discourse of Muley Hamet's rising to the three Kingdomes of …

Hexbug Ant
The startlingly fast Hexbug Ant has six rotating legs, each with three feet. With the flick of a switch the Ant goes into motion. Two antennae protrude from its head which detect obstacles (i.e a wall) in front of it. Any detection results in the Ant shooting off in another direction. It also has a sensor at the rear so if another obstacle is detected (i.e another wall) then the Ant will avoid this to!

Updated – I've added Stanley Carter's mugshot.
Here's a hell of a family Christmas for you. Stacy Ferrance and her family spent it as most people (aside from me) do. Christmas parties and gatherings with friends and family, opening gifts and eating those wonderful holiday meals. They weren't aware that they were going to have to share it with an unwanted intruder however.21-year-old Arkansas man Stanley Carter was visiting friends who live in the other half of the duplex where the Ferrances live. At some point the week prior to Christmas they told him it was time to leave and he did so, but he simply disappeared without saying goodbye or anything. A few days before Christmas Stanley's friends filed a missing person's report with police. He certainly wasn't very far away although it did take a few days before he was found.Stacy started hearing noises upstairs but chalked it up to her three kids, at least until stuff started to go missing in the house on Christmas like money and a laptop. The police were called and they came out, not really finding anything. Then more stuff turned up missing. That's when she decided to check the crawlspace upstairs. As soon as she did Stacy noticed footprints. She called the police again and this time they brought a dog. That's when Stanley decided to come out and turn himself in.Turns out the freak had made a list of all the stuff he had taken called "Stanley's Christmas List" with all of the stuff he had stolen from them which included money, a laptop, an iPod, blankets and candles, even Stacy's toothbrush. He had also been sharing the Ferrance's food over the last week as well. When Carter came downstairs the freak was even wearing their clothes. Sounds like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, minus someone getting brutally murdered. He even cut a hole in the roof so that he could see the family leaving.The silver lining? Stacy Ferrance got rid of her vermin in the attic without having to pay for an exterminator and Stanley Carter has a new place to stay where he'll get two hots and a cot. He's spending his time in the Luzzerne County Jail facing several felony counts of burglary and criminal trespass. I don't yet have a mug shot for the asshat but once I do rest assured I'll put it up. Also, in addition to his antics in Pennsylvania it turns out that Stanley has several warrants out in Arkansas for bad checks and unpaid fines.
3 Comments to "Stanley Carter Made a Christmas List"
Carter,is not a freak he was pushed into a corner and felt he had no place to go. he is over 3,000 miles from any of his family. Yes he made a terrible mistake in his choices, but everybody makes mistakes.remeber when President Clinton got caught and payed a very nice price? Why wasnt he charged with felony charges, also clinton admitted to smoking pot, was he charged ? No he had no charges what so ever. No one has a right to pass judgement on another person. Only God can, and god chooses to forgive than to condem.
Stanley Carter living in someone's attic for a week and ripping them off is an entirely different thing from President Clinton lying to Congress and the American people under testimony. While I certainly wish that the impeachment had been successful our representatives obviously didn't think enough about it, but then they are all cut from the same cloth anyway.
Actually god has nothing whatsoever to fucking do with it until after Carter is dead I suppose, if you believe in that claptrap. It's for a jury of Carter's peers to pass judgment on him. If he wanted it to only be god he shouldn't have broken our laws.
Pushed into a corner? I think not. There are plenty of shelters and assistance in Luzerne County. He indeed is a creep, a lowlife, and a horrible person. He has changed the life of a family. He has stolen the safeness of thier home. That is something that will take a long time to gain back. This list can go on and on. What really needs to happen is that justice needs to be served and when he gets released he needs to go back where he came from. He is not welcome in this county!!!!!! Until it happens to you, shut your mouth and blow smoke up someone elses ass.

Paralysed dogs given an unusual treatment for spinal cord injury have shown some success in being able to walk again, a new study reveals.
Dogs rendered paraplegic by severe spinal cord injuries regained significant neurological function after treatment with a polymer called polyethylene glycol, or PEG, say researchers at Purdue University in Indiana, US.
Dogs admitted to two veterinary hospitals with paraplegia - caused by naturally occurring mishaps leading to "explosive" ruptures of spinal discs - were initially treated with intravenous injections of PEG. This was followed by standard treatments, such as surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and remove stray bone fragments, and steroids to reduce inflammation.
The team, led by Richard Borgens of Purdue's Center for Paralysis Research, reports that the PEG-treated animals showed marked improvement compared to "historical controls" - paraplegic dogs whose progress had been documented at the hospitals following standard treatments in the 1990s.
Within 48 hours, the PEG-treated dogs scored far better than the historical controls on neurological and behavioural tests designed to measure early functional recovery. And by six weeks after treatment 68% of the PEG-treated dogs were able to walk, compared with only 24% of the historical controls.
Patching holes
The dogs treated with PEG at one of the hospitals were also given tests that measure nerve conduction between the leg and brain. In 63% of those dogs, normal nerve conduction was observed, whereas normal conduction had been seen in only two of 24 dogs in the historical control group.
PEG is widely used in the cosmetics industry and, in some formulations, as a laxative. It is believed that the polymer repairs damaged cells by patching holes in damaged membranes and "stitching" severed cells back together.
"When the membrane is compromised, the hydrophobic [fatty] core is exposed, and water gets in through that breach," Borgens told New Scientist. "Because PEG is strongly hydrophilic [water-loving], it sucks up water and plugs into the breach, and then the fatty acids and lipids in the centre of the membrane resolve into each other."
Cutting the cord
The disc ruptures suffered by the dogs in the latest study compressed nerve fibres in the spinal cord but did not sever them. However, in previous work, Borgens and his colleagues used PEG to restore conduction in guinea pig spinal cords that had been completely cut through (New Scientist print edition, 21 November 1998).
Borgens's use of PEG is an unusual approach in the world of spinal cord repair, where most research programmes are focused on coaxing nerve fibres to regenerate using stem cells or growth factors. The new study's design is also unusual in that it relied on naturally occurring injuries and used historical controls rather than following standard placebo-controlled procedures.
The research provides a "glimmer of hope", says Charles Tator, a spinal cord injury expert at Toronto Western Hospital in Canada, and justifies further research into PEG's effects. But he cautions that most human spinal cord injuries are far more severe than those suffered by the dogs in this study. And PEG will not help people with existing injuries.
Borgens's group is now in the early stages of designing a Phase I clinical trial of PEG therapy for spinal cord injuries in humans with colleagues at Indiana University in Bloomington, US.

Antimatter has been detected in solar flares via microwave and magnetic-field data, according to a presentation by NJIT Research Professor of Physics Gregory D. Fleishman and two co-researchers at the 44th meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Solar Physics Division. This research sheds light on the puzzling strong asymmetry between matter and antimatter by gathering data on a very large scale using the Sun as a laboratory.

Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
Apologies for the thread hijacking. I thought of it more as "leveraging" or tapping into the existing base of expertise on this topic. Actually, I was reassured by reading that others had similar issues and that there are so many experts out there willing to share ideas.
Now that I am reassured and a little less hysterical, I will un-hijack the thread and move it to a new home.
Thanks for your patience and the good ideas!
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
No apologies necessary. This board is an incredible resource we all share in. I am firing it up again tonight to continue drawing out the moisture in an attempt to achieve Plama Fire levels.
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
Fired it up again this evening. Within an hour, dome was 800 and floor 600. In 2 hours, dome was over 1000 and floor 780. Underneath hearth was 110 (5" thick, no insulation..... As stated earlier). Tomorrow, I cook pizza. Very excited!!!
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
Cooked 7 pies this past weekend. Got dome to 950, floor 750. First pie cooked in 90 secs. Probably too much topping as there was a bit of topping sogginess by over eager makers/eaters floor would cool to 680 after making a pie, quickly rectified by a 2 min wait btwn pies and recharging with raked coals. Didnt feel this was a huge drawback as was only making a single pie at a time since this was the first cooking experience. It was awesome. The chiptole Gouda with sliced jalapeño, garlic and sausage and pepper oil drizzle was amazing. In the future, will shovel out coals for more cooking room on 40" floor and make 2 pies at a time--need to get an ash bucket.
Thanks for all the comments here. Love the WFO.
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
Very cool.
Glad it's working out!
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
I never caught what kind of insulation was underneath the floor that exploded. Been on this forum for three years now and never seen that before. Was it perlite/concrete mix in according to this forums specs? Lots of discussions on that. Can't imagine that would absorb enough water to explode, unless water is getting in from somewhere else.....like rain. Don't tell me it was a thermal blanket insulation. This information would be very valuable to know so we can prevent it from happening again and someone getting hurt.

Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
Unknown, but the removed insulation was soaking wet.
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
It sounds like you have it all dried out now, so maybe it will be ok. The delta T btw the dome & floor demonstrates your insulation problem. The dome being at 950 and the floor at 750 is a very big temp difference. Usually is is less than 50 deg F. But if it works, it works. Not very efficiently but, whatever. To do it write, you need to tear down the dome and put 4" of insulating (perlite) concrete, to the specs on this site, and rebuild the dome.
You need to understand that these ovens are much more than just brick and mortar, they are refined proven designs, which if you skip one crucial step, like you did, they don't work properly. You need to follow all the specs from this site. There is a vast community of professionals here on this forum and they know of what they speak.
You definitely won't get the perfect Margarita pizza with that delta T. You will have trouble getting the tops and bottoms to be ready at the same time. If it works for you then plow ahead and make Pizza. Don't recommend any long slow cooking or roasting, the concrete slab will suck the heat out of the oven very quickly. And using a lot of wood. Just 5 or 6 pizzas and a roaring fire for a couple of hours, it should be ok.

Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
Not to be confrontational, but I couldn't disagree more. Heat rises, naturally the top of the oven is going to run hotter. That temperature difference is important for a balanced bake, especially in the higher domed Pompeii ovens most here have. The hearth transfers its heat directly via conduction. The dome transfers heat to the top of the pie via convection and radiation. Much less efficient, therefore requiring more heat to achieve a balanced bake. His temperatures are perfectly inline with what I would expect. The rapid heat lose and fact that the hearth is only getting to 750F would be my bigger concerns. I would expect numbers along 900F hearth and 1100+F In the dome.
Re: Update on my floor which exploded from steam re wet insulation
I have to agree with shuboyje on this one. When I am heating the oven my vault arch (dome) is MUCH hotter than my hearth. Typically well over 1100 at the dome when things are really going...and I've seen it hit over 1300....with the hearth anywhere from 950 to just over 1000.
When I get ready to start pizzas, I push the coals to the side, brush the hearth with a brass brush, then wet scrub it with a natural fiber brush. I then throw a couple of two inch diameter logs on the pile of coals to give me active flame hugging the arch and radiating toward the hearth. I then have to wait about five minutes or so for my hearth to come down to something in the 850-900 range. At that point my vault arch is typically at around 1000, or just over.
Lately I've been waiting significantly longer for the hearth to cool (maybe thrity minutes) because I've been trying to cook most of my pizzas with my hearth at around 775 and my vault arch around 900. I realize this is a bit on the cool side for the hearth for Naples style, but it seems that most of the pizzas that go in my oven lately have had a lot of toppings and are relatrively wet. With that kind of pizza and a real hot hearth I find my bases get done well before the toppings are cooked. For a true Naples style with very light toppings, I prefer a hearth of around 825-850 and a hot vault arch of about 950-1000. That will give me a true ninety second pizza. With the thicker ones I have to stretch it out to about two and a half minutes to get one that is properly cooked all the way through.
For those that haven't done a lot of pizza cooking, the pic below shows what you are looking for on your dome/vault arch while cooking pizzas. That vault is probablly around 950 or a bit hotter on the right
(The upper portions of the walls on the left, and the left portion of the vault is obviously less than 750 degrees or so at the time the pic was taken as carbon is present...I don't recall for sure but, based upon the fact that bricks are clear down low on the left side, and covered in carbon up high, I would guess that the oven had previously been completely clear, but that the left side wall had cooled because it is farthest from the flame, and then we built up carbon high on the walls from burning screwed up pizzas off the hearth. Because the left side had cooled somewhat by that point, the carbon didn't burn off there. You can see how much heat is coming off the hearth though, because even to the extreme left side, we have no carbon down low.)...
I would think that njoven should have no problem cooking pizzas. He will have a tougher time reaching and holding real high temps because of the lack of insulation, but pizzas cook fast, so it's not that big a deal IMO. He'll have to recharge more often by raking coals on the hearth, but he'll be able to get the job done.
Where I think he'll run into problems is low temp retained heat cooking and for bread. If I close my oven up after cooking at pizza temps at nine pm, I'm still too hot to cook bread twelve hours later. (Typically around 625-650 degrees if the oven had been fully charged and closed up hot.) Now that really isn't an issue because I bake bread in the afternoon after letting my sourdough rise in the morning...but it's amazing how hot it stays. But in njoven's situation, it doesn't sound like that is all that big a deal because he isn't planning to bake or cook pork shoulders, etc.
njoven...have you taken any temps the day after cooking to see how it holds heat? Id be interested to hear in order to get some real number comparisons on how big a difference the hearth insulation actually makes in retaining heat over a period of one to three days.

How A False Sense of Security Can Get You Killed
[A True Story] I've lived in a nice area of Houston, Texas, for quite a few years. I'd heard crime was up thanks to unemployement, but crime seemed like something that happened "somewhere else." I didn't pay much attention to home security and I was lazy about setting the alarm and making sure doors were locked.
One morning I ran out for just fifteen minutes and when I came home everything seemed fine. Then the burglar that had quietly broken in through a back entrance during those few minutes while I was out stepped into the hallway. The last thing I expected that day was to find myself staring down the barrel of a shotgun with a 6'4" intruder yelling at me to "GET ON THE FLOOR!" I was lucky. I was only robbed, but I could have easily been shot and killed

Schools planning new garage
WARRENTON — The Warren County Board of Education has taken steps to acquire property for a new school bus maintenance garage.
The board approved the purchase of two parcels of land located at 255 and 259 U.S. 1 South in Norlina. The owners are George Wesley Harris IV and Jennifer H. Harris. The purchase price is $235,000.
After Chairman Calvin Jones convened the meeting, the board voted to go into closed session to discuss a student matter.
When the board returned to open session, board attorney Al Thompson read a proposed resolution describing the property and contracting to purchase it.
"It's ideally suited for a maintenance garage," he said.
The board voted unanimously to approve the resolution.
The purchase is subject to approval by the Warren County Board of Commissioners. Warren County Clerk Angelena Kearney-Dunlap confirmed that the issue will be on the agenda for the Board of Commissioners' meeting on Monday.
Commissioner Ruby Downey, who represents District 3 that includes Norlina, said, "I know they need a bus garage."
She declined to say how she would vote.
"I'd have to look into that before I comment," she said.
No action related to the student matter was taken in open session.
