Ong's Hat: Gateway to the Dimensions! Bermuda Triangle - Devil's Sea. The Bermuda Triangle, situated between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico has long been known as a region where many ships and planes have vanished.
One of the eeriest disappearances was of Flight 19, a training mission involving five torpedo bombers. The planes left Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 5, 1945, on routine training and never came back. To make it creepier, the search plane dispatched also vanished. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared. Some people have claimed that these disappearances fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature.
Valentich disappearance. The Valentich disappearance refers to the disappearance of 20-year-old Frederick Valentich while on a 125-mile (235 km) training flight in a Cessna 182L light aircraft over Bass Strait in Australia on 21 October 1978.
Described as a "flying saucer enthusiast", Valentich radioed Melbourne air traffic control that he was being accompanied by an aircraft about 1,000 feet (300 m) above him, that his engine had begun running roughly, and finally reported, "It's not an aircraft. "[1] There were belated reports of a UFO sighting in Australia on the night of the disappearance, however Associated Press reported that the Department of Transport was skeptical a UFO was behind Valentich's disappearance, and that some of their officials speculated that "Valentich became disorientated and saw his own lights reflected in the water, or lights from a nearby island, while flying upside down.

A flat Earth model depicting Antarctica as an ice wall surrounding a disk-shaped Earth.
The Flat Earth Society (also known as the International Flat Earth Society or the International Flat Earth Research Society) is an organization which aims to further the idea that the Earth is flat instead of an oblate spheroid. The modern organization was founded by Englishman Samuel Shenton in 1956[1] and was later led by Charles K. Johnson, who based the organization in his home in Lancaster, California. The formal society was inactive after Johnson's death in 2001 but was resurrected in 2004 by its new president Daniel Shenton.[2] The ideas argued by the society are widely viewed by accomplished scientists as pseudoscientific.[3] Origins[edit] Modern hypotheses supporting a flat Earth originated with English inventor Samuel Rowbotham (1816–1884).
Modern incarnation[edit] New Chronology (Fomenko) The truth about John Lennon's murder. By Steve Lightfoot. Phantom time hypothesis. Basis of the hypothesis[edit] The basis of Illig's hypothesis include:[2][3] the scarcity of archaeological evidence that can be reliably dated to the period AD 614–911, on perceived inadequacies of radiometric and dendrochronological methods of dating this period, and on the over-reliance of medieval historians on written sources.the presence of Romanesque architecture in tenth-century Western Europe.
This is taken as evidence that less than half a millennium could have passed since the fall of the Roman Empire, and concludes that the entire Carolingian period, including the existence of the individual known as Charlemagne, is a forgery by medieval chroniclers; or more precisely, a conspiracy instigated by Otto III and Gerbert d'Aurillac.the relation between the Julian calendar, Gregorian calendar and the underlying astronomical solar or tropical year.
10 More Conspiracy Theories. Mysteries Conspiracy theories – I can't get enough of them!
Fortunately there are so many floating about that we have been able to give you not one, not two, but now three lists of theories that many people believe with all their might. Be sure to read the earlier lists if you haven't already and feel free to add any conspiracies missing from all three to the comments here. It makes the list because it appears in almost every alien or UFO conspiracy theory ever devised. The fact is Area 51 is real. There are television shows purporting to explain just what goes on there, one even including an interview with "a disgruntled employee," who is provided with black-out lighting, but no vocal distortion, and who states that "it is a testing ground for experimental aircraft. I considered putting the Aurora Aircraft on this list, but since its existence is tied so closely to Area 51, I use Area 51 as a catch-all of sorts.
Yes, you read that right. Every generation, since St. Jamie Frater. The memo that 'proves aliens landed at Roswell'... released online by the FBI. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 07:37 GMT, 11 April 2011 A bizarre memo that appears to prove that aliens did land in New Mexico prior to 1950 has been published by the FBI.
The bureau has made thousands of files available in a new online resource called The Vault. Among them is a memo to the director from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950. Proof of (alien) life?

I recently purchased a Sony - VAIO T Series Ultrabook 15.5" Touch-Screen Laptop - 8GB Memory - Silver Mist laptop from Best Buy. The specs tell me it comes with SATA (5400 rpm) and SSD (Solid State Drive), not on the specs page, but advertised never-the-less as 1TB Hard Drive + 24GB Solid State Drive. For what it's worth, or should I say, while it will last - here's a link to the item.
When I look at my available drives, I see the DVD drive and a single hard disk - C - corresponding to the 1 TB. Should I be seeing an additional drive of approximate 24GB? My bet is No, but I could be wrong.
The computer is new, but I 'feel' it should be running faster than it is. My old laptop had an i3 processor and this is definitely faster than that one. My work laptop has an i5 processor and this doesn't seem much faster. I don't remember the RAM contents of those 2, but this Ultrabook has 8 GB RAM. Oh, and I feel Visual Studio 2012, Quicken, and sometimes Chrome, are the apps that seem slow. I guess just Desktop apps, maybe Metro too, but that's probably internet related.
I'm currently optimizing the C drive to see if that helps. Also, I read that Superfetch should be disabled on solid state drives. It is currently enabled on the Ultrabook. Would disabling this help speed up the computer?

County needs spay, neuter ordinance
Published: Saturday, March 29, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 29, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: I was elated to read the recent news item announcing the decision made by the Henderson County Board of Commissioners to open to the public, via a hearing, the matter of the future revision of animal control guidelines.
Members of the Board of Health completed a draft of a new ordinance (November 2002) recommending that "Henderson County work for stronger enforcement of civil and criminal penalties for animal violations, as well as the construction of a new animal shelter."
Sadly to say, nothing is mentioned regarding the feasibility of a spay/neuter program. The Fund For Animals offers information on how to initiate a spay/neuter incentive ordinance at the city and county level, including sample ordinances in cities already successful with this plan.
Considering the real problem is abandoned animals running loose and reproducing regularly, building a new and bigger shelter to serve mainly as a holding tank for future euthanizations does not seem to be a suitable solution. The cost efficiency of a free or low cost spay/neuter program complementing such an ordinance would far outweigh building and operating a new, larger animal shelter, and if strictly enforced, would eventually eliminate its necessity.

...Это кладбище. Кладбище зараженной техники. Здесь стоит все – и пожарные машины, и рейсовые автобусы, и обкомовско-райкомовские «Волги», и обычные «Жигуленки», и грузовики. А с другой стороны...
Now, that is insane. Is need really more powerful than the danger? I have been watching this place from afar (USA) ever since Kid of Speed posted the pictures and story. I expected to watch it rust away as more people came and photographed. I never expected that it would be dismantled and carted away....perhaps the weather, rain and snow have somewhat cleansed the exposed metals?
Sure. But these are the most fire-engines, which first arrived at the place where the accident occurred. They are the most radioactive. These now banned closely approached.
Looking at the series of photos from the area it appears these have been missing their parts for some time. The helicopters being dismantled, obviously recently is, somewhat alarming. Perhaps since they can not bury it they plan on storing it inside the new containment structure with all the other broken bits of the reactor and are breaking it into smaller pieces for easier storage and management?
"A new shelter, no one is building - no money." We can throw billions at a non-problem like Global Warming, this is sad.
It is true :-(
ЗиЛ-130 пожарка... Отчего фото такие маленькие?
А это для другого сайта фотки были предназначены, а там такие требования были. Исходники же перелопачивать по новой лень :-)
Hey friend,
I notice in the latest Google map images the vehicle grave yard appears to be gone. Is this true?
I do not know. I see all the cars on the satellite image. I doubt it somewhere removed.

Cannot uninstall Java JRE 1.7 32bits
Aug 12, 2012 1:18 AM
For some reason my firefox browser stopped detecting java and now I can't run anything with java on it because it says that it's not installed, so I went to add/remove programs and tried to uninstall java but it just won't get removed.
So when I try to uninstall it (Java(TM) 7 Update 5) a little window appears with a progress bar, after it completes it disappears but Java is still there..
this is the window that appears: http://rcupload.com/images/HLUwZ.png
Here's what I tried to do:
1) Use CCleaner to uninstall it: - I choose the program, press uninstall and it disappears, but when I refresh the list it will still be there. I also tried using the "remove entry" button in CCleaner and i just get a message saying "cannot delete msi installer'.
2) I tried using JavaRA: - I ran it as administrator, clicked "remove older versions", and I got the message that Java JDK 1.7 was uninstalled and all the files, but now I see that there is no folder for it at "C:\program files (x86)\Java\" (there was one inside before, called something like jre-7) and the icon in the installed programs appears like a white box instead of looking the like the java logo.
3) I tried downloading java and installing it: - I run it, it downloads and it gets to a screen where it asks me if I want to install a toolbar, I click next and I get this message: http://rcupload.com/images/xiCIu.png
I also tried changing the destination folder. same result.
-- Resumed: I need to get rid of Java(TM) 7 Update 5 but the uninstaller seems not to work and files are missing.
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi - using the Microsoft fix-it tool available here, running as administrator, did the trick for me: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
I selected the options that allowed me to manually choose which program to uninstall...then I was able to re-install java from the Oracle Java 7 download/installer.
Good luck!

Most Helpful
Easy and good. Made for Think Pink Event.
Excellent Taco Salad. I didn't have any ranch style beans so just left them out and cut the recipe down for 1. I mixed the salsa and sour cream together to make a nice dressing. Served this with a few Nacho Cheese Doritos. Very tasty. Thanks for sharing.
Tasty, easy, quick. I added the onion in while sauteeing the meat, and I added a small can of tomato sauce with the taco seasoning (as per Tacos - I love the tomato sauce consistency & extra vitamins). I also added the beans in with the seasonings, to heat them up. I layered the salads on our plates instead of mixing -- lettuce, then meat/beans, then cheese, then tomatoes, then salsa & guacamole.

Ok, you wanted me to review this game, and yes I played some of this game and wasn't too pleased with it. But it does have a good story line to the game.
You start out in this game as a little baby, within a few minutes you're a teenager, damn I wish that would of happened to me. Anyways, you have a birthday party and your father and friends are there to celebrate with you, and a few are not so friendly. But later on you can kill the asshole anyways, fuck'em!!!
Anyways, if you're familiar with Elder Scrolls 4, then you should gain experience and know how in this game fairly easily, and if you haven't played this game yet, then you're living in the dark!
The story of this game is that you're off to find your father! Cause he left the Vault and now you need to find his stupid ass and he doesn't want found. So you must battle your way, doing short quests, with a small map.
Now they have other expansions for it, yes I am aware of them, I did play those too!!
The V.A.T.S. system in this game helps out if you're ever over ran with mobs or enemies or whatever you want to fucking call them, I honestly don't give a shit! But V.A.T.S. is basically like a matrix style system and you can pick different parts of their body (mostly their head) and you can disembodiment them to the point to where they are jelly on the sidewalk! Now that part is FUN SHIT!
However, the game isn't all that vast to play, And I did lose interest in it quick. But the graphics are pretty good and the engine seems to run much better than Elder Scrolls 4 which is ran with the same ENGINE!!! Why this happens, I don't know, maybe they cleared up the memory leaks in Fallout 3, who knows!
Anyways, it's a decent game to play if you're ever in a bad mood and you want to use a sniper rifle and start picking some heads off!!! DO IT, SHOOT THEM IN THE FUCKING HEAD!!! IT FEELS GOOD!!! Because in real life you cannot shoot someone in the head with a sniper rifle! Well, at least not legally and not without putting your own life into harms way lol
But, do try the game out, it's not too bad. I ain't hating on it, but I don't seriously go crazy over it either, and the last time I actually played it was like 3 months ago.

PPR to Sell OneStopPlus to Charlesbank, Webster Capital
PPR SA agreed to sell its U.S.-based OneStopPlus large-size clothing business as the owner of Gucci disposes of retail assets to focus on luxury and sports brands.
OneStopPlus, part of PPR's Redcats retail division, will be sold to private-equity firms Charlesbank Capital Partners and Webster Capital for an enterprise value of $525 million, Paris-based PPR said yesterday in a statement. The sale is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year.
"This announcement is small positive news, reflecting the final stage of PPR's transformation and refocus on luxury and lifestyle activities," Thomas Chauvet, an analyst at Citigroup Inc. in London, wrote today. PPR's management will "continue to focus its efforts on selling the remaining assets of Redcats in coming months or early next year," he said, including the "more challenged" La Redoute catalog.
PPR's shares rose as much as 1.3 percent, and traded up 1.1 percent at 142.2 euros ($186) at 9:11 a.m. in Paris. Its shares have increased 28 percent this year.
PPR said in 2010 that it would divest Redcats alongside other retail assets in order to focus on its luxury, lifestyle and sports brands. A challenging debt market had made Redcats too expensive to sell in one piece, according to two people familiar with the matter. Redcats sold its Avenue stores, another U.S. large-size business, to an affiliate of Versa Capital Management LLC earlier this year.
Peter J. Solomon Co. acted as financial adviser on the deal, while Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz provided legal advice, according to the statement.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
One of the best things about reading a lot of manga is being able to trace the lineage of certain types of plots and characters back through the years. Popular series can be massively influential, and I've talked about this before regarding One Piece and some of the modern series it influenced. You can play this game with a lot of series, but one of my absolute favorites is Fist of the North Star. Fist of the North Star itself is an awesome, testosterone-laden series that's very much worth reading, but one of the best things about it is how influential it is. It has plenty of the usual knock-off series and pale imitations, most of which we did not see in English (mostly because Fist of the North Star predates most English translated manga by about 15 years). It inspired series and creators that used the best parts to create their own amazing and, in turn, very influential series.
I try not to cover the same series twice, but I feel like if I'm going to discuss the influence of Fist of the North Star, I might as well bring out the best that topic has to offer. I'll talk about the plots and the finer points of two of these series at a later date, and the third is something I've already discussed, but is worth revisiting in this context.
Fist of the North Star – Written by Buronson, Art by Tetsuo Hara (27 volumes, 9 published in America)
One of the first things I should mention is that Fist of the North Star owes an enormous debt to the film The Road Warrior. Its entire aesthetic is borrowed from the movie, from the post-apocalyptic desert setting, the lone muscled hero that rides into a villain encampment to stir up trouble just because, and even the costumes, such as characters with one shoulderpad, metal-studded leather, and mohawks, are lifted from the movie. But a key difference is that Mad Max is an anti-hero, whereas Kenshiro is a good guy through and through. Fist of the North Star takes the Road Warrior aesthetic and runs with it. For nearly thirty volumes, Kenshiro wanders into a small encampment where a bad guy is physically and financially abusing townsfolk while building himself up to be the greatest fighter the world has ever seen, and Kenshiro effortlessly mops the floor with him. The defeat is always in the form of Kenshiro touching a few points on their body with his finger, stating "You're already dead," and the villain blowing up behind his back. There's nothing more to the series than that, but it's extraordinarily entertaining and absolutely triumphant when Kenshiro takes out one more enormous mohawked tyrant ruining the lives of others. Interestingly, there's no power escalation in this series, since Kenshiro isn't ever seriously challenged by the villains. They get increasingly more evil and ridiculous, such as men big enough to crush children in their fists or ones that have similar fighting techniques, but there's never any doubt that Kenshiro will win. The villains keep getting bigger and more muscular as the series goes on, which is a trait that went on to be imitated in many other places. Kenshiro does not speak, or engage anybody in conversation, so most of the color commentary comes in the form of a traveling companion, a child called Bat in early volumes. It's one of the absolute most classic fighting manga around, and the Hokuto Shinken fighting style went on to be adapted for many a series afterward. The series itself spawned an era in the 80s where comics for boys featured manly, musclebound heroes and villains as opposed to spunky children. Sadly, Fist of the North Star has never been popular in English, despite being translated by two different publishers. There's a handful of loose issues and three volumes from the 90s from Viz, and 9 volumes in a large, colorized edition from defunct publisher Raijin. The Viz volumes are affordable secondhand, although not nearly as cheap as they ought to be, and the Raijin edition is one of the most expensive manga series to obtain secondhand, commanding some of the highest prices you'll see for individual volumes online. Perhaps another publisher will try in the future.
Berserk – Kentaro Miura (36+ volumes)
Berserk is one of the absolute best manga series I've read, and is great to give non-manga readers interested in fantasy comics. Miura does almost everything right here. I'll talk about the fantasy and fantastic elements another time, but I love how the subtle influences of Fist of the North Star show themselves here. That Miura is a fan is more obvious in his one-shot series Japan (written by Buronson, and an awful lot like Fist of the North Star), but you can see some of the influence in Berserk if you know what you're looking for. The main character, Guts, is the same type of stoic, unstoppable force that Kenshiro is, though he gains more personality when we learn his backstory during the first flashback. Guts can be beaten, and is on one memorable occasion, but he usually takes a licking and manages to chop off the head of enormous monsters with his sword allegedly the size of a table. The enormous, musclebound villains that are huge and cruel, but ultimately little or no threat, pop up often early in the series. At one point Guts fights 100 of them, as if this is an insurmountable challenge, and he barely even breaks a sweat to kill them all. While we do learn what drives him through a flashback, as an adult in the present, Guts doesn't often talk about himself or what he's doing, and is accompanied at all times by a fairy named Puck, and later a group of women, children, and hangers-on that offer strangely misplaced bits of humor. Guts's look, with a black cape wandering into a town by himself, is especially like Kenshiro in later volumes of Fist of the North Star. And the ruthless, appallingly evil villains that are built up so it feels good when Kenshiro kills them also appear in Berserk. Guts often wanders into situations where children are being stolen by cannabalistic fairies or trolls are raping the local women in their troll dens. One of the more abstract parallels is the love interests of Kenshiro and Guts. Kenshiro is initially hunting his brother down because he has kidnapped his girlfriend, who is later killed. In theory, Kenshiro's quest is all for the love of a woman. Similarly, Guts is driven by the desire to avenge what happened to Casca, a woman he loved that was driven insane when sacrificed for power by the main villain. Guts's quest is the more heartbreaking one, as Casca later accompanies him in her simple-minded state. But one could argue that both serve as plot devices that make the hero more romantic without actually involving a love interest in an otherwise manly quest. All 36 volumes are in print and available.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure – Hirohiko Araki (107+ volumes)
There are few things in life that I love as much as Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. While it's easy to recommend Berserk to those with an interest, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is just so weird that it's difficult to describe in a way that makes people want to read it. It's a lot like a typical battle manga, with a hero that's fighting increasingly powerful bad guys to reach an ultimate villain for a righteous cause. But the best thing about this series is that the fights are almost logic puzzles, where even those with no power can win if they figure out how to outsmart the bad guys or easily defeat their power. In the third and most popular story arc, the main character, Jotaro Kujo, is the most powerful by far, but he doesn't ever fight. They usually defeat enemies by playing video games or breaking mirrors and things like that. While the series is over 100 volumes long, it's broken up into several story arcs, first as a generational series following the Joestar family throughout the 20th century and thereabouts, then with a plot device that allows for alternate historical retellings elsewhere. Araki also has a wicked sense of humor, and has a way of following typical boys comic tropes in a tongue-in-cheek way. I could talk about this series forever, and I have before, but I'll go on at length on another day. The influences of Fist of the North Star include the huge musclebound characters, both heroes and villains, not present in Araki's art until after Fist of the North Star debuts. The incredibly muscular characters are something of a trademark of early volumes of Jojo, but Araki's art is more stylish than Tetsuo Hara would ever want to be, and his unusually dressed musclebound characters are somehow very homoerotic at times. Another parallel is one I already mentioned, that Jotaro Kujo has the most powerful "stand" power of any user, undisputed by every character. He rarely uses it, but when he does, there is really no contest of who will win, even in the final battle. The villains can also be outrageously evil, as they are in Fist of the North Star, but their threats are more veiled and creepy than the overt atrocities of Kenshiro's foes. While a villain in Fist of the North Star may do a lazy demonstration of power by stepping on and killing one of his followers, the main villain in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure may blow up a dog, stop time, then deposit the pieces in the food of patrons of a café. In the earlier parts of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the characters also use a special type of martial art that usually ends with their foes exploding messily, as they do in Fist of the North Star. A final, stranger parallel is the sound effects used for punches. Kenshiro often lets loose with an extensive round of "Ah-tah-tah-tah-tah!" when using his pressure points, where Jotaro Kujo's trademark is sometimes a page or three full of nothing but "Ora-ora-ora-ora-ora-ora!" punches. But Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is its own beast, and its current story arc bears little resemblance to the early parts of the series, let alone Fist of the North Star. We were very fortunate to get the third 16-volume story arc translated into English. It is wonderful, and worth every penny, but any out-of-print volume is currently very expensive. Most volumes are still available, however.
Apocalypse Zero – Takayuki Yamaguchi (11 volumes, 6 in English)
I've already talked about this series, but it uses so many of the tropes of Fist of the North Star that I had to bring it up again. The parallels are extensive. The main character practices a highly unrealistic and esoteric martial art that others fear. He's a stoic badass with an incredibly clear and decisive moral compass, and there's never any question that he will ultimately win his fights. The series is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland whose citizens are terrorized by huge, monstrous atrocities, similar but much more grotesque than those found in Fist of the North Star. We do see them consuming and burning regular citizens alive, which is a lot like the torture scenes in Fist of the North Star that get you pumped to see Kenshiro roll in and kill them. In both series, the younger brother is something of an ultimate bad guy (though as I already mentioned, he's defeated early on in Fist of the North Star), and in both cases, he's jealous of his older brother who inherited the ultimate power. Kakugo even has round scars on his chest like Kenshiro, but he earned his by getting shot with big metal balls, whereas Kenshiro earned his by being touched with the Hokuto no Ken pressure points. But Apocalypse Zero is a thousand times more extreme than Fist of the North Star ever aspired to be. The hero is somehow more pure, the villains more horrible and vile (partially because they are portrayed so grotesquely), the world a much worse place to live. It almost reads like a parody of the genre, but it's so straight-faced that it's impossible to tell whether its intentions are comedic or extreme. That may be the best thing about it. Its nature as a fighting series turned up to 11 will put many off, and while the volumes are out of print, all six translated into English are available cheaply online.
I'm still saddened that the Gutsoon/Raijin version didn't last. That colored version was actually pretty nicely done and a joy to read. I also loved the prequel series, Fist Of The Blue Sky. Heck, I liked just about everything Gutsoon put out…
One of the things that makes me most sad as a person that was reading manga from the early 90s on is that so many of these great innovative series from that time period and beyond never made it to America and/or have been out of print for twenty years or more. It saddens me that no manga company seems to be able to find a way to make reprints of the great action comics of the genre work.
I hope you will enter in more details about Hokuto No Ken / Fist of the North Star, because the description you give is quite an overlook …
"Another parallel is one I already mentioned, that Jotaro Kujo has the most powerful "stand" power of any user, undisputed by every character. He rarely uses it, but when he does, there is really no contest of who will win, even in the final battle."
I disagree, not on the strength itself (Although Josuke is stronger) but the final fight with Dio was fairly even, if anything Dio was too cautious. Furthermore Araki has no qualms about killing characters, as I'm sure you're aware, so you can never be too comfortable in the fights.
Sorry for the nitpicking, I do realize what you're getting at, seeing that all JoJo's overpower the opponent once they've unlocked the puzzle, so to speak.
In any case I love all of those manga, and it seems to me Fist of the North Star was also a powerful influence on Saint Seiya and to some extent Dragon Ball. Both of which are very influential in their own right. If anything I find too many shonen manga are a bad copy of DB.
Nice write up but I have to point out that some of the Berserk volumes are out print <.<
Minuteman: I didn't realize that! That's a shame. Dark Horse is one of the few manga publishers that consistently keeps their volumes in print, so hopefully they're just between print runs. I fell for that with Blade of the Immortal a few years ago, where I scrounged around and got a beat-up used set, only to find my missing volumes were back in print shortly after.
Ian: I thought about including Saint Seiya, and I think a convincing case can be made, but I've also heard that Saint Seiya is similar in tone to Ring ni Kakero, an earlier boxing manga by Kurumada that was also very popular. It's hard to say without having ever seen that how much might have come from FotNS, but my guess is that it wouldn't be quite the same without it.
You're right about that final fight in Jojo Part 3, but mostly when I think of it, I think about all the little tricks that Jojo did to outsmart Dio, and some of those were so unbelievably clever that it's hard to see them and think he might lose, even given what happened to his team members. That has to be one of the best fight scenes I've ever read.
Strider Tag: I didn't really mean to short-change Fist of the North Star like that, as it is quite good. The description was mostly meant to condense it down into the elements that show up elsewhere.

Hello: I am trying to change the default avatar on my site. I have a child theme and so I tried to figure out where I could just have wordpress access a different image. I am using twentyeleven theme and could not find where to change the image that wordpress would use.
I then tried another tactic; and that was the plugin "Add New Default Avatar [Emrikol's Fork]" and that did work. And so I thought I was all set. But for some bizarre reason that plugin stopped working (I think yesterday). I didnt change anything on the site so do not know why it stopped working. But anyway, can anyone help me with changing something in my child theme that will have it use a different image file? What file it is?
Thanks so much,

The LBS had a great closeout on a 2012 Superfly 100 Al, so I joined "the cult". I got hooked when I rode a friends Cannondale hardtail 29er. Just love the smooth rolling. I really don't understand why, but it climbs much better then my 2009 Anthem 1 did.

"Norway's First Capital, Trondhjem" Top 5 Page for this destination Trondheim by bpacker
Trondheim Travel Guide: 337 reviews and 1,000 photos
Enroute from Bod� to Oslo by train, I made a pit stop for the ancient capital of Norway. Glad I did, this bustling university town has a rich past with obvious reminders everywhere! I enjoyed exploring the place by foot and slowly uncovering the rich past , bit by bit. The highlights of my walking tour were :
1)The colourful warehouses in Bryggen in Old Trondheim ( see photo above ).
Honestly, I preferred the Bryggen over here compared to the popular one in Bergen. Click open my pages to see why.
This amazing gothic structure is Trondheim's most dominant landmark and Scandinavia's largest medieval building. Did I also mention that it is also the most popular pilgrimage site in Scandinavia? Follow the footsteps of the pilgrims and see this amazing place.
For a bird's eye view of Trondheim, huff and puff your way to Kristianten Fort, 10 min away from Old Trondheim. Click here to find out more about its morbid past...
- Pros:Great place to explore by foot, rich medieval past
- In a nutshell:A must see in Norway for history buffs !

Like the Cathedral and the colourful warehouses with the reflections in the still water.
A man was trown into the deep of hell. protested that he was a man of charity. The demon asked what did he done? He said he gave 0.10 Kronen to a poor. The demont thought a little and ordered. Gave his O.10 and send him again to Hell.
Thanks for your wonderful story here! ><><><><><
I never got a good photo of hell (you did!) but a stranger on a train sent me a post card.from there. Apparently a number of bands have recorded albums there- Just so they can say live in Hell.
I liked the content on this site. Would like to visit again. http://www.aamarbangla.com

Mazhar Alanson
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (November 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Mahmut Mazhar Alanson (born February 13, 1950) is a Turkish musician, guitarist, member of the popular Turkish pop music band MFÖ, and an actor.
Early life[edit]
He was born on February 13, 1950 to a family of musicians in Ankara, Turkey, where his father was the head trumpeter in the State Philharmonic Orchestra. He continued Kadıköy Anadolu Lisesi which is also commonly known as Kadıköy Maarif College for his high school education in Istanbul following his father's death. After the high school, he attended the State Conservatory in Ankara and graduated in performing arts, in particular (theater).
He started playing the guitar during his high school years. In 1966, Mazhar formed the band Kaygısızlar ("The Carefree") along with Fuat Güner and Sadik Kuyas. They played the music of the Beatles, Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Rolling Stones and collaborated with the renowned Turkish pop singer Barış Manço. Later on, Özkan Uğur joined the band, and in 1972 the trio was renamed MFÖ, after the initials of the members. While Özkan was serving his military duty, Mazhar and Fuat released their first album Türküz Türkü Çığırırız ("We are Turkish, we will sing Türkü"). The album song Güllerin İçinden ("From in-between the roses") brought the group to a broader audience. In 1974, Galip Boransu and Ayhan Sicimoğlu joined the band, and the quintet took the name İpucu Beşlisi ("Clue Quintet"). However, the band dissolved after a short time, and the group MFÖ continued to play as a trio again.
Between 1972 and 1982, Mazhar Alanson played as an actor at the Ankara State Theatre, performing a number of leading roles in major plays.[citation needed]
MFÖ represented Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1985 with Didai Didai Dai (placed 14) and in 1988 with Sufi (placed 15), both written and performed by themselves.
Aside from the band, he released two solo albums: Herşey Çok Güzel Olacak (1999) and Türk Lokumuyla Tatlı Rüyalar (2002).
Mazhar Alanson was awarded the "Best Songwriter of the Year" in 1984 for his album Ele Güne Karşı Yapayalnız.[citation needed]
Currently he is judge in most viewed Tv Show of Turkey O Ses Türkiye ( Turkish version of The Voice).
As an actor[edit]
He played in several TV commercials and some films. In the film Arkadaşım Şeytan (Demon, My Friend) directed by Atıf Yılmaz, he successfully played the role of Mephistopheles. He wrote also the film score. In his second film Her Şey Çok Güzel Olacak ("Everything's Gonna Be Alright") directed by Ömer Vargı, Mazhar Alanson shared the leading roles with Cem Yılmaz and Ceyda Düvenci. The film, he wrote also the film music for, became the highest-grossing movie in 1998. He shared in 2002 the leading role again with Cem Yılmaz in the film Yıldızlı Pekiyi ("A+" (letter grade in school)). The same year, he played in the TV series Çekirdek Aile ("Nuclear family") produced for Kanal D. In 2006 he appeared in the Cem Yılmaz movie Hokkabaz ("The Magician").
Personal life[edit]
He married Hale in 1972. The couple with two children divorced in 2003, and Mazhar got married for a second time to Biricik Suden, a fashion designer.

Quincy IL Taylor Dumpster Rental Associated Articles
TLC Waste Disposal Expert services has been the leader in giving dumpster rentals in Southeastern Michigan. From residential rubbish removing to whole provider industrial waste management plans. Click On this website Dearborn and Rolloff Dumpster Dearborn.
Untidy locations bordering your hotel will give a damaging effect to website visitors. You are unable to even have the trash cans at your gate waiting for the pickup from municipal authorities of the state. Relying on them for disposing your trash would delay the undertaking for absolutely sure because they come according to their possess schedules and also have limitations on the tonnage of the trash disposed at each interval.
Dumpster Service fees in the location: the quantity of cost for a hauler of trash or dump trash even superior landfill squander or centers for recycling are various from the other human being according to a state or a city. Dumpster expert services that are locally located demand the charge of distance costs to the customer. If you in shape in with a state or a certain metropolis that implements a fee for dumps which is large, then rental charges for dumpsters are for specific higher.
You have to know the sizing of dumpster necessary in advance of you go to hire a single. Choosing a smaller dumpster than needed makes you spend better amount for dumping an extra waste than specified. If you hire a larger a single than expected, you will conclusion up in shelling out further bucks for the free place.
All objects can be disposed of in a one dumpster. They do not call for to be divided for case in place: glass, metallic, wooden and drywall can all be disposed of in the similar dumpster. Local trash pickup policies limit the quantity of trash that is available for pickup by the metropolis. They also want the bagging of all trash and the separating of any recyclables. Utilizing a developing dumpster rental tends to make trash disposal substantially a lot less complicated and faster as it does not simply call for the bagging of trash or the separating of recyclables.
Prohibited items in Dumpster: There are many products which you cannot dispose in dumpster. The product checklist could vary from location to place. This record is produced by rental Firm and government as for every the policies and polices of regional governing administration. Most commonly prohibited merchandise include things like gasoline, oil, paint, car tire, automobile batteries, asbestos, any inflammable liquid, any dangerous waste etcetera. So make certain to inquire about the checklist of prohibited products from rental company as putting one of those objects in dumpster can guide you in having to pay additional cash.
You will in all probability check with what does a dumpster Rental Corporation bought to do with renovation. Effectively, permit me explain. Renovating a big portion of your household will most probably accumulate garbage. And what about that outdated household furniture that you want to alter? Or possibly some wall paper that wants alternative as well? All of these trashes will will need some area to be set in whilst the renovation is on-heading, correct?
You will require to search for a dumpster company that offers distinct size dumpsters. You will want at the very least three options in smaller, medium and massive. The small dumpsters are for more compact employment this kind of as if you want to tear apart and rework a bathroom. The tiny dumpster should maintain at minimum two tons of debris.By demirolda

Microsoft Gazumps Mandriva in Nigeria
Nigeria's Classmate PCs will not run on Mandriva Linux, but on Windows.
Just three days ago, Mandriva proudly announced that the 17,000 Classmate PCs ordered by Nigeria would be running the French distribution. Two days ago the success story took a strange twist: Nigeria will be paying for Mandriva machines but installing Windows on them.
In his blog, the obviously irate Mandriva CEO, François Bancilhon, published an open letter to Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, giving vent to his frustration and making some fairly vague assertions:
"Wow! I'm impressed, Steve! What have you done to these guys to make them change their mind like this? It's quite clear to me, and it will be to everyone. How do you call what you just did Steve? There is various names for it, I'm sure you know them."
Mandriva will be hard hit by the loss: on the one hand the company will be losing support business, on the other hand, the order would have given Mandriva a foothold in the race for market shares of educational systems in developing countries.

Causes of Paraffin & Asphaltene Deposition
Paraffin and asphaltene deposition is a great detriment to any oil company trying to produce large quantities of crude oil. These paraffins and asphaltenes deposit on the insides of pipes and reservoir pores, reducing the flow rate of the desired product, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Pipe which has undergone a fouling process (Integrity Engineering 2009)
There are three steps that lead to the precipitation of large alkanes (range of 18 carbon to 70 carbon alkanes), thereby clogging oil reservoirs, well bores, and transportation pipelines (Ring et al. 1994):
- Solubility/Precipitation
- Transportation and deposition of precipitate
- Reduction in permeability due to precipitate deposition
When drilling into an oil reservoir, large pressure drops occur in the reservoir. Due to this rapid change in pressure, larger n-alkanes can precipitate out of the oil and flocculate, not only in the oil well, but in pipelines which transport these hydrocarbons. Both decreases in temperature and pressure cause these large alkanes to precipitate out of the oil (Soulgani et al. 2008). In Figure 2, it can be seen that as pressure decreases, melting point temperatures also decrease.
Figure 2: Typical Pressure-Temperature Diagram (Wikipedia: Phase Diagram... [updated 2010])
Once the temperature increases, it can be shown that solubility of these large alkanes also increases, (Ring et al. 1994) thereby reducing the amount of paraffin deposited on the walls of well bores, allowing oil flow rate to increase. Figure 3 displays this solubility trend as well. In most cases, solubility of a solute in a specific solution increases with increasing temperature (Kallos MS et al. 2010).
Figure 3: Solubility Charts for various solutes (Saskatchewan Schools 2006)
Once the temperature decreases, the paraffins arrange themselves into orthorhombic shapes; thereby creating stable, three dimensional wax crystals. Before the temperature decreases to which the paraffins precipitate out of solution (also called the "cloud point"), the paraffins tend to trap oil, creating a gel. More paraffin diffuses into this gel matrix, thereby increasing the paraffin build up around the annulus of the pipe (Hemant et al. 2008).
Summary of How Deposition OccursThe mechanism of paraffin and aspahltene fouling is not a particularly complex one. However, the knowledge of said mechanism can greatly help one understand the possible chemical treatments/solutions to such a persistent and time consuming problem.
1) Solubility/PrecipitationHigh pressures are associated with an untapped oil reservoir. Once the reservoir is drilled into and perforated, a pressure gradient is created, thereby allowing oil to flow out of the reservoir (Wikipedia Article: Oil Well). As a result, this drop in pressure decreases melting point temperature (See Figure 2) and allows some of the larger hydrocarbons to precipitate out of the oil solution (Soulgani et al. 2008). Decreasing the temperature also allows some of these paraffins to create orthorhombic shaped wax crystals which are carried through the oil (Hemant et al. 2008).
2) Transportation and Deposition of PrecipitateThe aforementioned wax crystals create networks and trap oil molecules (Hemant et al, 2008). This amalgam of wax crystals and oil then creates a gel matrix (Hemant et al. 2008). This gel matrix ends up trapping other wax crystals present, and the amount of wax in the pipes increases over time (Hemant et al. 2008). With a further decrease in temperature, this waxy, gel-like substance hardens and deposits on the walls of the pipe in which the hydrocarbons are being transported (Hemant et al. 2008).
3) Reduction in Permeability due to Precipitate DepositionAs these suspended crystals and gels deposit on the surface of pipes, the permeability (smallest area available for flow) of the pipe decreases, thereby decreasing flow rate (Ring et al. 1994). A decrease in flow rate means a decrease in oil produced and/or transported and, in turn, a decrease in revenue for the oil company.

Rein in Wall Street and Rescue the Middle Class
The protest movement called Occupy Wall Street has struck a nerve. The demonstrators' goals may be vague but their grievances are very real. If our country is to break out of this horrendous recession and create the millions of jobs we desperately need , if we are going to create a financially-stable future, we must take a hard look at Wall Street and demand fundamental reforms. I hope the protesters provide the spark that ignites that process.

Is Poverty a Death Sentence?
The crisis of poverty in America is one of the great moral and economic issues facing our country. It is very rarely talked about in the mainstream media. It gets even less attention in Congress. Why should people care? Many poor people don't vote. They certainly don't make large campaign contributions, and they don't have powerful lobbyists representing their interests.

Gay Creeps****
Short review: Here is a new site that�s going straight to the top. It combines the straight does gay sex theme with reality porn, and with voyeuristic porn too. Gay guys creep up on sleeping straight mates, take full advantage of them and then, when the straight boy wakes, some very horny hardcore ensues. It�s original, growing by the week, good value, it has many bonuses and extras and it�s great quality.
Content Amount: So far so good with 16 exclusive episodes of around 25 minutes each and available in various players and qualities. There are 16 galleries with around 200 pics each, screencap galleries with even more, 16 models and many bonus movies too.
Content Quality: You will find plenty of viewing choices with a good Flash stream chosen, and several ways to download. The videos have atmosphere, and they are well made. The guys are hunky and hot, the pics and everything else is good quality as well.

SDCC: FX's 'The Strain' Charts New Territory For Season 2
Guillermo del Toro and the "Strain" cast and crew spoke at Comic-Con International about adding flashbacks and deviating from the novels for the second season of the vampire drama.
Guillermo del Toro and the "Strain" cast and crew spoke at Comic-Con International about adding flashbacks and deviating from the novels for the second season of the vampire drama.
A pair of promo spots highlight the spread of the virus in the FX horror series, which returns this summer.
The first promo spot for the horror drama's second season depicts a chaotic New York City overrun by vampires.
The acclaimed Mexican actor will join the FX horror drama as retired luchador Angel Guzman Hurtado.
The director is circling an adaptation of Mitchell Zuckhoff's book about the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
FX has ordered 13 more episodes of the vampire thriller from Guillermo del Toro, chuck Hogan and Carlton Cuse.
The cast and producers of FX's The Strain discuss vampire lore, the differences between the novels and the show, and what to expect in the first season.
The horror filmmaker was joined at Comic-Con International by Carlton Cuse, Chuck Hogan and the stars of the FX thriller to discuss their hunt for "biologically believable vampires."
David Bradley, the actor Game of Thrones fans loves to hate, explains Guillermo del Toro was all he needed to sign on and being one of the good guys.
The Lost veteran talks with SPINOFF about collaborating with Guillermo del Toro on the new FX thriller, and getting back to the roots of vampire stories.
The image of a worm crawling out of an eyeball proved too much for some people in Los Angeles.
The filmmaker reveals that while the FX horror series will hit "the big guideposts" of his novels, it will take liberties with the source material.
