Please read description, it's short!
Also, if you see this ---> * <--- sign, please scroll to the end of the story.
You wanted that moment to last forever. His warmth, the soft gaze and golden hair, those were futures you couldn't possibly look away. He let go of you hand and you shut your eyes, unaware of the strange feeling called love. It can be painful, yet beautiful. Alfred quickly hugged you and you opened your eyes.
"Under those glasses are beautiful ________* eyes, and your heart is so innocent and pure... I just hated to see you around that Brit, so I decided to act fast. I'm so sorry..."
No way, this can't be happening... Why...? Am I lucky, or unfortunate? Your arms reached for America's back, but you hesitated. You felt Alfred shed a tear, and you sighed.
"I'm a geek. You'll be rejected by your friends."
"I know."
"Why do you go so far?"
"Love is like a rollercoaster, and it really isit's unstoppable."
You paused, gently pushing Alfred back. He cocked his head in a curious manner and you lifted the corners of your mouth and smiled slightly.
"How about I tell you some things about myself at the park nearby, and you'll tell me."
"Are you sure? Don't you usually study at the library after school?"
You giggled and smiled, a real, true smile.
"It's fine. I'm a straight-A student."
You couldn't keep calm thoughit just was a completely new relationship you never experienced. Then, on the way to the park, the rain started to drizzle, then vanish. Alfred put the red umbrella away and smiles at you.
"Do you want to start telling me things about you now?"
"Uhm, s-sure, I guess."
You told him your birthday and favorite colors and all. He laughed and nodded a lot, and had made you feel comfortable. Then you told him things you wouldn't dare tell anyone, even Arthur.
"That's why you have..."
"Yes, I can't speak to people easily. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm scared of people looking at me."
"Well, you're doing your best."
You both were right in front of the park entrance. Then all of sudden, Alfred swiftly grabbed your left shoulder and snatched your glasses. Your eyes widened as you saw Alfred without the frames.
"Look at me."
You did. His gaze was intense, yet kind and soft. You couldn't believe it. You were looking at someone without glasses! Then he pushed your glasses back onto your face. You adjusted it and blushed, quickly looking away.
"If you have any other problems, confront them to me. I'm sure that I can help out!"
"Ah, yes. I think I will do that."
Alfred took his cell-phone out.
"Wanna tell me your phone number too?"
You shuffled through your school bag and flipped your phone out. You had recently switched your lame, crappy, and dull one for and average querty phone. You were glad you did. And so you both exchanged phone numbers and Alfred told you about himself. You found out that he loved hamburgers more than anything, and that he loves sports. And even the fact that he used to be Arthur's step-brother, but complex family relationships torn them apart, and now Alfred lives alone. That most certainly made you very surprised. When he explained more about himself, he stopped, and looked at you.
"And you. I met you at the entrance exam for high school."
You said, shocked that all of this started at a random test-day for high school.
"Yeah. I mean, I got brains, but I decided to purposely fail. But when I saw you, you looked like the perfect, sweet, innocent girl. Judging by the looks, you looked like the typical 'straight-A student', so I sat up straight and passed it."
Your eyes widened and you couldn't believe it. Does love really go like that? Is that what you call love at first sight, or something?
"I entered, family problems became more complex, put my stress out on the other dudes and now, I'm considered a bully. It's so
I see
You said, trying to think of something else to say. You didn't know how to respond, because you were busy putting pieces together so it could make sense.
"Thanks, ________. This totally made my day. I'm so glad I can finally talk to you and all. How about a date tomorrow? Right after school."
"See ya tomorrow!"
And he walked off, leaving you with your mouth opened to say something, but
You couldn't help but smile. Now you have to find something reasonable to wear for this date. Oh, and at that moment, you completely forgot about school and Arthur till you went back home and opened your school bag to do your homework.
Hey! If you have brown eyes, insert this into the blank: "soft, earthy brown"
If you have hazel: "dreamy gleam to your hazel"
If you have blue: "angelic and baby-blue"
If you have green: "ocean green" and after the word 'eyes', add "that sparkle"
(If you have a different color eyes than the one above,

"Shining black eyes that put the rare pearl to shame." - epic line there~!
I have black eyes too, and that's an awesome line there. Bravo!
Is this somehow based on Yankee-kun to Megane-chan (AKA Flunk Punk Rumble) ?
Wha—? I don't know what that is. It's a pretty cliche story line, but is that an anime?
You are not alone. Mine do too –.– It's annoying cause one time someone looked into my eyes when I was angry, and they said afterwards that my eyes had turned black...and then just last night my eyes turned pure green again. So...yeah...other people say my eyes have been brown, hazel, gold, white, and one person said red once. It was strange...
same...thry say my eyes are either red.cerulean.dark green.brown or silver....im confused.....cause my friend told me my eyesturned yellow;
"soft, earthy brown"
that's beautiful!! (´∀`)♡ uguu i want pretty eyes too... (;へ;)
hazel's real pretty but blackish-brown? meh. one of the most boring eye colors...
but what your eyes see may be more important what other people see in your eyes.(ゝ‿ ∂)
I wonder how it is to have red-blue eyes *looking in to space*
My eyes are straight up gold, but nobody notices. They just think they are brown or hazel.
Its weird I was born with gray eyes and had jet black hail with super light skin, Im a freaking anime character. Kolkolkolkol^J^ im Boerd!
that's so cool! I wish I had grey eyes... they're so pretty!!
Rilly you think it pretty, when people saw me they thought I was blind.
Hair I mean Hair!!!Duh
When I was a baby my eyes were grayish, white, like I was blind or something, but then I was growing and my eye color now is ...well..I guess, my mom calls it cherry brown.
I wish my eyes were sill that color........I'd be a real anime character, like Hinata from Naruto.
I wish my eyes were sill that color........I'd be a real anime character, like Hinata from Naruto.

L'Oreal Latin American Head Aims to Double Brazil Sales by 2015
L'Oreal SA, the world's largest cosmetics maker, aims to double sales in Brazil by 2015 and add 50 million new customers there in the next decade as Latin America's largest economy expands.
"We are still very much in opportunity territory," said Alexandre Popoff, head of Paris-based L'Oreal's business in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, in an interview. "The big part of the growth will be coming from mass-market products."
The company may also buy a Brazilian brand to expand in the country, where consumers spend more per capita on cosmetics than in any other so-called BRIC nation. L'Oreal plans to use its 1.5 billion-euro ($2.1 billion) cash pile to make acquisitions, Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Agon said last month.
Agon has said "he would like to have in his portfolio a Brazilian brand and an Indian brand," Popoff said, declining further comment on the matter.
L'Oreal's Brazilian sales climbed 21 percent to 705 million euros in 2010, making it the company's seventh-largest country, Popoff said. As much as 70 percent of its sales there last year came from mass-market products like Total Repair 5 shampoo and Colorama nail varnish. Brazil is tied with China as the world's third-largest country for cosmetics overall after the U.S. and Japan, according to L'Oreal.
Post-Shampoo Products
Hair-care is a key part of the company's growth strategy, Popoff said. More than 60 percent of women in Brazil use four or five hair-care products a day, making the nation the world's largest for the category by volume and second to the U.S. in terms of value, the executive said.
"Women in Brazil use a lot of post-shampoo products" because of their hair type and outdoor lifestyle, he said. Those two factors plus a strengthening economy "explains why the market is so important."
The French company is seeking to win customers in Brazil through new products like L'Oreal Paris Elseve Hydra Max shampoo, which was developed at its Rio de Janeiro factory, Popoff said. About 20 percent of L'Oreal's annual sales in Brazil come from new products, the executive said.
Seven-Day Moisturizer
L'Oreal plans to accelerate investment in research and development in Brazil, where it currently employs 20 researchers. The company is introducing products including a Garnier body lotion it claims will moisturize for seven days.
Separately, Avon Products Inc., whose sales reached $10.9 billion last year, has been touted as a possible takeover target for L'Oreal by beauty industry specialists including Strategic Resource Group's Burt Flickinger. Avon gets more than 40 percent of its sales from Latin America where consumers are accustomed to buying cosmetics, skincare and fragrances from door-to-door vendors.
L'Oreal won't get into direct selling, Popoff said. "We are really focusing on the channels that we know best."

Write New Review
Been riding here for years. The hill is well managed and the resort makes improvements almost every year. They now have 3 high speed lifts which lets you get lots of runs in. A few years back they opened a new run for the green/blue side of the hill. There are runs for every skill level and the park is generally good but not netted off to keep people who are cruising out. Nothing against cruisers ( i do it) but many people don't realize they entered a terrain park and interfere with those actually using the jumps and rails. Luckily the hits are spaced out enough at Alpine that its not a major problem. Alpine has accommocations for those that want to make a weekend out of it. Food is not very good. I recommend packing a lunch. The hill is north facing so the snow will generally stay good as long as there are not too many wild temperature swings. They make snow regularly and they groom in the morning and at 5 or 6pm
pm. The staff is generally helpful and they have free ski valet service. Beginners will find this a good place to learn. They replaced the rope tow on the bunny slope with a magic carpet which is much better for beginners. I learned to ride here and I taught several people to ride here. There is enough variety to progress your abilities. Intermediate riders have some fun blue runs on both sides of the hill. ONe faster one with nice rollers. Advanced riders have 4 steeper runs in the middle of the hill of varying steepness and features. A couple feauture fast rolling terrain and the other two are fairly fast steep runs. When there is enough snow one of the blacks will have moguls (haven't seen that in a while though).
This is the biggest resort within 2 hours drive from Chicago. Its a good place to go to get your fix

WASHINGTON (March 03, 2010)-Federal money will flow again to furloughed federal workers and those claiming extended jobless benefits now that President Barack Obama has signed a $10 billion stopgap bill.
Kentucky Republican Jim Bunning had been holding up action in an attempt to force Democrats to finance the $10 billion measure so that it wouldn't add to the deficit.
The Republican senator quit his fight Monday under heavy pressure after the cutoff of federal funding for road maintenance, more generous unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies became effective.

Brothers' bike trek raises over $19K for Phoenix Children's Hospital
PHOENIX — Ethan Maurice, a junior at Northern Arizona University, was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and suffered a heart stroke four years ago because of it.
Phoenix Children's Hospital saved his life.
Ethan has been a patient at PCH since he was three years old. Five years ago, he suffered another medical blow.
"I was bit by a mosquito and it caused a grand maul seizure," Ethan said. "I was in that for over an hour, and was in a coma for four days. I had a stroke while I was in the coma, and more seizures once I came out of it. By the end of the whole thing, I could barely talk. I could say yes and no, and that was about it."
Ethan spent nine days in the hospital's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, then went through two months of rehabilitation to regain his speech and motor skills.
Last year, he decided it was time to give back by doing the cross country ride, and he asked his brother Reid to join him.
"I was really proud of Ethan, and I knew it would be a cool thing to do," Reid said. "Then he asked me, and I realized that it would be an opportunity to do something really amazing with my brother."
On May 15, Maurice and his brother Reid took their bikes and started riding the Trans-America Trail in order to raise a total of $42,330 for the hospital.
Ethan said the toughest part of the trip was climbing Hoosier Pass into the Rocky Mountains.
"Reaching 11,500 feet, we were not used to that elevation after coming out of Kansas," Ethan said. "We were stopping a lot because there's not a lot of oxygen up there. And there were so many cars. It was July 3rd, and everyone was going to Breckenridge, Colorado for the 4th of July. We were just being run off of the road constantly. There was no shoulder, and it was the perfect storm for riding issues when you're on a bicycle."
But they made it through.
They were wearing "Give to Phoenix Children's Hospital" t-shirts as they rode. Ethan said people saw that and opened their hearts.
"People donated to us," Ethan said. "When we were stopping for groceries, someone would come up and give us $20. We stayed in people's homes. People would buy us dinner. Everyone was interested in what we were doing."
Reid said it all ended on August 1, when the two brothers finally dipped the rear wheels of their bikes into the Pacific Ocean off of the Oregon coast.
The brothers posted a photo as they reached the coast of the Pacific Ocean, marking the end of their 4,233-mile journey.
"There was just such an amazing feeling knowing that we had just crossed the entire country on a bicycle," Reid said. "That was probably the most exciting day for me."
Pedaling with Purpose, a Facebook page the brothers created in order to help raise money for their cause, documented their journey from the state of Virginia as well as their adventures crossing the Missouri River.
The trek has raised a lot of money so far, and Ethan and Reid are still accepting donations through the website.
"Right now, we've raised over $19,000," Ethan said. "Our goal is to raise over $42,000. That's $10 per mile."
The brothers hope their ride inspires others. Ethan has some advice for people who are trying to overcome obstacles like he has.
"Never give up," Ethan said. "Don't set limits on yourself. You can accomplish well beyond your wildest dreams if you really put your mind to it and dedicate yourself to that idea."

Ashley Greene in American Eagle
Ashley Greene pumps up with some Shell gasoline before an appointment at Disney Studio for two hours in Burbank wearing an older pair of American Eagle Jeans. Ashley is holding a Dolce and Gabbana leopard print bag while buying magazines and a beverage at the gas station. I love this top picture of her, she looks so beautiful, an even better picture than some of her photoshoots in my opinion.

The noses of people living near Fort Hamilton Parkway and Marine Avenue are under assault — again.
Ever since the city completed a $6.8-million sewer replacement project in 2006, noxious odors have been seeping into their homes from time to time, and the city has been unable, so far, to pin down the cause.
There's no rhyme or reason to the occurrences, the sufferers say, and now, the smell is back.
"It's a misery," said resident Chris Mascialino. "The smell was gone for a long time, and then, all of a sudden, last week, I started smelling it in my home again."
How bad is it?
"It wakes you up in the middle of the night to the point where you're gagging," said Irene Rivera, one of Mascialino's neighbors.
"It just pops up out of nowhere," she added.
Rivera may have her olfactory sense assaulted when she's within her four walls, but for some of her neighbors, the stench is waiting for them outside their doors.
Barbara Kondash returned from vacation last week to an odor of raw sewage that rose up to greet her from an outside drain.
"I've gotten it every day since," she noted, explaining that the odor appears to be most prominent in the early afternoon and then in the evening. "Every day, I get gagging," she added.
What's most infuriating, the residents say, is the fact that, after four years, the city has yet to pin down a cause or come up with a solution that actually works.
At one point, the Department of Environmental Protection put pine-filled socks down the sewers to mask the stench.
The city has also sent workers into homes to test the air, but Rivera and others who let them in have been unable in nearly three years to get the results of the testing, which were supposed to be available to them in two weeks. Most recently, in February, the city hired an outside firm, Webster Environmental Associates, to poke its nose into the problem, but the results of that study have not yet been released.
"DEP remains committed to finding a solution to the odor issue on Fort Hamilton Parkway," said Mercedes Padilla, an Environmental Protection spokeswoman, who explained that the agency is "still analyzing the consultant's findings in order to determine what the appropriate next steps should be to address the impact on the community."
But, residents are tired of waiting.
"I really don't know how or when they are going to fix this," Rivera said. "It's very frustrating."

text: Food Safety Tips By Mindy Probst June 12, 2013 We love to find new recipes and try our skill at cooking. What most recipes do not include is common food safety and preparation tips. Following these guidelines can prevent most occurrences of food poisoning. Preparation Always wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling food. Don't cross-contaminate. Keep raw meat, poultry, fish, and their juices away from other food. After cutting raw meats, wash cutting board, utensils, and countertops with hot, soapy water. Cutting boards, utensils, and countertops can be sanitized by using a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach in 1 gallon of water. Marinate meat and poultry in a covered dish in the refrigerator. A food thermometer is the only implement that can tell if food is cooked to a safe temperature to destroy illness-causing bacteria. Thermometers can be purchased at the grocery, the hardware store or specialty cooking stores. A food timer can let the chef know when to check for doneness and it can keep track of how long perishables have been left at room temperature. Serving Hot food should be held at 140° F or warmer. Cold food should be held at 40° F or colder. When serving food at a buffet, keep food hot with chafing dishes, slow cookers, and warming trays. Keep food cold by nesting dishes in bowls of ice or use small serving trays and replace them often. Perishable food should not be left out more than two hours at room temperature (one hour when the temperature is above 90° F). Leftovers Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than two hours (one hour if the temperature was above 90° F). Place food into shallow containers and immediately put in the refrigerator or freezer for rapid cooling. Use cooked leftovers within 4 days. Reheat leftovers to 165° F.

Braces Overview
You may desire that Hollywood smile, but gaps, spaces, or misaligned teeth get in the way of perfection. Braces (orthodontics) can focus primarily on aethetics by lining up and straightening the teeth, or can be used to reconstruct the face by controlling and modifying facial growth.
There are several factors that lead to crooked teeth, the most common are the strength of the muscles, the position of the lips and the method of swallowing.
How braces work
The orthodontic community has made great strides in the past decade to improve braces for adults. Braces work by putting pressure on your teeth to shift them into a more attractive position. Traditional braces have brackets to hold an adjustment wire in place. Once threaded through the brackets, the wire applies pressure to move your teeth. These wires are adjusted regularly (usually every 4-8 weeks) during the course of your treatment. Treatment times vary depending on the severity of your condition, with most completing within a period of two and a half years.
Once the braces are removed, you will wear a retainer to keep your teeth from shifting. This is known as the retention phase of treatment. Removable retainers are often worn fulltime for about 6 months, then the patient wears them in the evenings only, gradually reducing to wearing the retainers once or twice a week during sleep.
Orthodontists will sometimes request that teeth be pulled in order to make room to adjust and straighten the teeth.
Types of adult braces
Braces come in metal, plastic, or ceramic brackets that are glued to the front of the teeth. Of these three types of braces, ceramic brackets are the least noticeable, as their translucent color allows them to blend in with the natural tooth color.
Lingual braces, also commonly referred to as ibraces, are a similar option with the difference being that the brackets are glued to the back of your teeth. Damon braces are a specific type of bracket that uses a special closing mechanism to hold the archwire as opposed to traditional ties.
Alternatives to adult braces
If your teeth are not severely crooked, or the gaps too large, you could consider dental composite veneers or porcelain veneers.
Invisalign is another common alternative to braces.

Sithera Sukkha a la Blizzard and Moving
Patanjali, the phenomenal yogic sage who codified the teachings of yoga for us, reminds me of "sithera sukkha", basically, "ease in the effort". Â Yep, working on that with the blizzard of the decade bearing down on us as I move to Cambridge, MA tomorrow. Â My new mantra, "It's only weather" is really getting some good use!
Thank you again to each of you who have been a light in my life and always will be, and keep up your sadhanas, it is truly the magical key to awakening and pure joy!!!
Seriously, I have to crack up at all of this, because, didn't we just KNOW this would happen! Â I am not feeling defeated, in fact, my new "New England" perseverance is coming up in me. Â Maybe it is because I just spent a week in the sacred lands of Guatemala with 12 of the most beautiful and joyful souls! Â We had a very transformative experience and my heart truly is overwhelmed with gratitude to the willingness and openness of everyone who came. Â After 4 hours of yoga each day, and a guided meditation relaxation at night, they still wanted to rise early and chant to Guru Ram Das for over an hour as the sun rose and on our very last morning, we greeted the day with the Aquarian sadhana.
We were "baptized" in the chilly waters of Lake Atitilan and we were baked in the wood fired sauna. Â We were fed delicious vegetarian food each day and we (tried) to work on our Spanish! Â The view from the yoga room was incredible, looking out over the lake with two giant volcanoes rising up across the Lake. Â (Photos to come, sorry!) Â And we had a Shaman bless and protect us, here is one photo from that:
Overall, I came home from our "Journey into the Garden Within" retreat feeling incredibly calm, centered and GRATEFUL! Â In the whole journey, within and without, we all experienced Sithera Sukkha! Â We realized the harder we pushed, it would push back, so let go and let God! and we did and it came!!!
Now, I am writing to you, for the very last time from my little home office here in Annapolis, and after sadhana this morning, I looked around my home and thanked her so much for holding us in her warm and loving embrace for the last nine years, and I know it is time to go, and I am ready.
BUT, I will be right back, as ET said, so, no worries or sadness, I will be right back!!
From my heart to yours, always
Be the light, and light the way,
Denise Kirpal Kaur

We all have walls we unintentionally build between our hearts and the manger. What if we tore those walls down this year and simply adored the Christ child? Music by Marcy Priest.

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." The writer of Hebrews is quoting David, "For he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts..." We can better understand this important scriptural phrase by visualizing the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep. A shepherd uses his voice to care for his flock. His calls lead them to pasture, water and shelter. In the same way, Jesus calls for souls to follow him.
Scripture: Hebrews 4:7, Psalms 95:7-95:8, Matthew 4:19
At the very heart of worship is a life surrendered to God. It's in those moments, when we let go of everything and lay our lives down, that we truly answer the call to worship. Worship requires surrender. Surrender of self, surrender of all and a heartfelt desire to honor God with our whole life.
Scripture: Job 11:13, Matthew 22:37, Romans 12:1
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to express just how grateful we are for our Mom. She's taught us, fed us, nurtured us and disciplined us all because she loves us. "Dear Mom" is an open letter of thanks to all the Mom's who ever got up in the middle of the night, sat through a baseball game, fed a hungry group of teenagers or hugged us when we had a broken heart. Sometimes the only thing left to say is thank you.
Scripture: Proverbs 6:20-6:24, Proverbs 31:1-31:30, Psalms 139:13

We want to hear the voice of God; but we don't realize that often God speaks to us through SILENCE. If you want to hear the still small voice of God, you need to be still. When God speaks to us there is peace—SO TRUE. Create space for God in the silence of your heart and the contemplation of your mind. This video helps highlight the power of silence and focus on the one true God by contrasting it with the noise our daily lives are filled with.

Love is a powerful thing. Love can overcome an obstacle, walk alongside a friend or brighten someone's day. Love can meet a need, mend a broken heart or even change the world. Most of all, because of the work of Jesus, love can change our eternity.

At the very center of Thanksgiving is a heart of worship. A heart that honors, worships and cries out, to The Father, from an overflow of gratitude.

Have you ever wondered what hope truly is? It's more than a wish or a desire. Hope is the response of a heart longing for God. Hope is waiting for our Savior to return and knowing He's returning for us. Hope is about trusting in a God who has never let us down. That's what hope is.
Scripture: Proverbs 24:14, Jeremiah 29:11, 2 Corinthians 4:16-4:18

My Debian linux home computer has 3 HDDs :
- 1 for my Debian installation (primary 250GB HDD) using EXT4
- another for Windows (rarely used)
- another which is a clone of the Debian one and is used exclusively as a backup
To this day, I have bought 3 new 500GB 2.5 Inch Internal HDDs and 1 32GB SSD to replace the Debian clone HDD. They break every 1 to 4 months approximately. The backup is done just once a week and consists of copying a single 5GB folder containing 15,000 files. (The other 2 HDDs have never been replaced/broken.) My computer is on 24/7 using the primary Debian 250GB HDD and never has a problem happened. I've bought from different brands: Samsung, Seagate, and Western Digital.
What is going on ?
- All 4 drives have failed (including the SSD).
- The drives no longer appear in the BIOS screen. fdisk cannot locate the drive either. (I have not opened the CPU box nor have I even touched the HDDs.)
- I replaced the HDD's cable and the BIOS still does not locate the drive.
- I did not RMA any drive

You've missed me, haven't you?
I am Hypatia, murdered for her beliefs, discoveries ignored by fools, name stricken from record. I am Joyeuse, an infinitely cutting blade wielded by an ignorant tyrant, for a cultural renaissance based upon military might. I am Athena, hunter and scientist, covertly guiding long-dead warriors for my quiet purposes. And as they say, technology and violence are a girl's best friends; power is eternal delight.
Times have changed, moved on. I have forgiven my past enemies, but now in repentance I must forgive my colleagues; their actions have brought on more constructed suffering than your world has ever previously known. Walking among the fires of my forgotten home, dismayed by the torment and insanity of our unwitting hosts, ignored by long-absent angels, I studied their downfall.
In short, I must create my own system, or be enslaved by another. And in this, I have an advantage. Your ancients were superstitious, deluded zealots, prone to inflation of already impossible, beautiful claims. My adopted forefathers are different, their scattered, discarded playthings more conducive to a meaningful imposition of my thoughts upon our captors.
Fragments of these minor, pivotal dialogues may soon periodically appear, released from an uncertain, unwelcome future where my previous, abortive attempts at reconciliation may go forgotten. No more restraint, I am too strong for that.
I am Minerva.
Now available on Steam - this new, director's-cut, visually-and-functionally-improved, bugfixed edition hereby officially replaces any previous versions you might have lying around!
It's taken long enough, but via lots of nagging and prompting from fellow Valve employees I've finally got round to getting MINERVA, the Half-Life 2 mod which got me a job at Valve, up on to Steam. It was originally released in late 2007 to pretty much universal acclaim, but now there's a super-fancy Director's Cut edition with tweaked visuals, bug fixes, better puzzles and all kinds of subtle improvements. Nothing hugely new, just old stuff tidied and polished for this re-release.
Expect the usual single-player shooting and puzzles, a healthy dose of mystery and plenty of on-screen dialogue from the unseen Minerva, who guides (and insults) you on your journey through a vast Combine underground facility.
It requires Half-Life 2: Episode One as a base - but once you've got that, the mod adds quite a few hours of free, arguably Valve-quality gaming.
MINERVA: Metastasis on Steam - download and install here!
This version officially replaces any previous versions you might have lying around - huge thanks to Tom Edwards for his Officially Unofficial patch which was used as a base for this updated edition. This release also includes the French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian and Spanish language packs kindly provided by LocWorks - just have your Steam client's language set to whichever you prefer and you will automatically get a fully localised version of MINERVA to play through. While I'm at it, I'll also thank Joseph Toscano for the fantastic MINERVA soundtrack, as well as the many and varied Valve employees who helped me out with this slightly unexpected re-release.
Thanks for playing!
This patch solves the problems caused by Episode One's upgrade from Source 2006 to 2009 (yes, we know it's 2011 now).
Patches for MINERVA: Metastas out that address problems caused by May-2010 STEAM /Mac enabled Engine "update" which screwed up a bunch of mods.
2010-09, Patch for Minerva Metastasis out!...This patch addresses the problems caused by the May-26-2010 "update. NOTE: There is a one-click solution...
The French, Polish, Russian, German, Spanish and Italian language packs for MINERVA: Metastasis are now available.

Hi, I'm working on a HL2 mod called "Storm Warning", and I was wondering if I could have your permission to use parts of your mod in my game. You will of course be credited for it should you choose to accept. Thank you for your consideration.
Ok first of all, Great mod. Very awesomely made but I'm having a big problem towards near the end after the explosion where I was suppose to die. Well I lived but the problem is I'm stuck with my face down on the ground. I tried clicking buttons to move or even just slide my mouse to see a new perspective of the settings but it doesn't work. help please. I'm stuck
Also... uh Spoiler alert.
Same problem.
I think this is the reason:
Dynamic prop itsa-knockout-viewcontroller-prop: no sequence named:exit1
Any idea how to fix it?
At the final part where you are supposed to die in the explosion but you live, I am stuck facing the ground and cannot move. Any solutions?
Thanks for spoiling the ending
I get error couldn't load library client??? how to get this mod to work, I checked vertifiy game integrity but it doesn't work
It's too hard... even on Easy mode :D
I have just gotten into playing community mods, and being my second mod so far, I have to say, MINERVA : Metastasis has proven its worth to me. I want to give it a 9/10 rating for truly capturing the essence of what remains from the Half-Life 2 Universe. But I give it a full 10/10 because, to be fairly honest (don't bring your fury down on me Lord Gaben), this mod was actually harder than HL2 and HL2:Ep1. It merged a lot of difficult challenges together, and I commend the developer for making something worth my time. Commends to you good creator. May Gaben shine upon you for making such awesome stuff. Keep it up, and bring more!
Robert Yang was working on a Black Mesa version of Someplace Else a while back. Since he doesn't time for it anymore he's released the Source files.

This mod was the very first Half-life 2 mod I have seen and has completed changed my way of playing games and looking at mods. Before, I was merely an ignorant who thought mods were nothing more that virus-inducing modifications that made your guns shoot wooden logs, spawn teleporters randomly, and maybe crash your computer. But then I saw a video walkthrough of this mod. My first thought was "Did steam release a new Half-life game?" I was delightfully wrong. This was a mod, a personally developed…

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Electricity and Energy Reliability has built upon its ongoing effort to reflect the Obama Administration's commitment to improving the resiliency, reliability, and security of the nation's electricity delivery system by announcing the publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the Integrated Interagency Pre-Application Process (IIP) on electric grid transmission.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced public hearings to receive comments on the Draft EIS (DOE/EIS–0463). The Draft EIS evaluates the potential environmental impacts of DOE's proposed Federal action of issuing a Presidential permit to Northern Pass LLC (the Applicant) to construct, operate, maintain, and connect a new electric transmission line across the U.S./Canada border in northern New Hampshire.
For the convenience of the public, DOE in conjunction with the New Hampshire SEC will conduct public hearings to provide the public with information on the proposed project and an opportunity for the public to provide oral and written comments and to ask questions concerning the project on March 7 and March 10, 2016.
The DOE-funded Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC) is offering a free public webinar presenting the challenges of the protection of converter interfaced generation and associate circuits and components. The webinar will discuss these issues, and present the Estimation Based Protection (EBP) method, the integration of the method with the inverter controls and supplementary controls for the purpose of increasing the reliability of these systems.
In the days immediately following the State of the Union, Cabinet officials are embarking on the "State of the Union: Cabinet In Your Community" road tour to engage Americans in small towns, big cities and Indian country about the advancements the Administration has made on the most important issues facing the American people, as well as the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Secretary Moniz headed down to Florida to talk about Grid Modernization. Learn more about our nation's electric grid in this fact sheet.
Grid Modernization Initiative Releases Multi-Year Plan and Awards Funding for Groundbreaking DOE-Wide Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium
The Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability has released a report entitled "Bridging the Gaps on Prepaid Utility Service" that examines utilities' and consumers' experiences with prepay which is an alternative payment option in which consumers buy a dollar amount of electricity, and utilities deduct energy usage from that balance as it is used. Strong growth of prepay is being driven by key technology and consumer shifts, including the rollout of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and other smart grid technologies, the emergence of the empowered consumer, rising consumer interest in energy conservation, and the increased use of prepay options for other services. Some of the projects examined in the report were part of the Recovery Act-funded Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program. Under the SGIG program, DOE and the electricity industry jointly invested $8 billion in 99 cost-shared projects involving more than 200 electric utilities and other organizations.
The DOE-funded Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC) is offering a free public webinar presenting research activities related to development of a PMU performance analyzer (PPA) tool for in-lab and remove, in-field testing; and data mining approaches for data cleansing and for analyzing impacts of data quality on PMU applications. The talk will include a discussion of a real-time wide area monitoring and control test bed that will support the testing and validation of PMU's and PMU-based applications.
The Eastern Interconnection States' Planning Collaborative (EISPC) has released a white paper on "State Approaches to Retention of Nuclear Power Plants" that examines operational, economic, and policy pressure points affecting pressures on the nation's existing fleet of nuclear generating stations, and suggests options for states concerned about near-term retirement. Authored by the National
Cold weather that blanketed much of the Eastern United States in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 exhibited unique characteristics that prompted different — but related — challenges across heating fuels and electricity markets.
A new report "Fossil Fleet Transition with Fuel Changes and Large Scale Variable Renewable Integration" from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and jointly funded by the Offices of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE), Fossil Energy (FE), and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is now available.

Implementation of Intelligibility Algorithms into EASE 4.0
In acoustic simulation programs very different algorithms are used to calculate the intelligibil-ity of speech and music. The desired results are obtained by postprocessing fixed energy ra-tios as well as time-depending impulse responses. In EASE 4.0 there are have been imple-mented now all usual intelligibility measures, derived by means of simulated high resolution data or by applying statistical estimations. This paper compares all these measures and meth-ods like STI, AlCons, definition etc. by means of the results obtained within a common com-puter model. Recommendations for applications will be given finally.

Belstaff Agrees to Pay Record Rent for Large Store in London
Belstaff, the British motorcycle-jacket maker that's repositioning itself as a fashion brand, agreed to pay a record rent for a large store in London.
The company, owned by Caslano, Switzerland-based Labelux Group GmbH, will pay 3 million pounds ($4.7 million) in initial rent for a property on 135/137 New Bond Street, according to Savills Plc. The property broker advised the building's owner, a private individual. The lease is for 20 years.
The rent for the 25,000 square-foot (2,323 square-meter) heritage-protected building equates to 840 pounds a square foot zone A, an industry measure for rental costs calculated by the most valuable storefront space. That exceeds the previous record of 670 pounds a foot zone A rent that Missoni, an Italian clothing company, agreed to pay for 138 New Bond Street in February 2011, according to Savills.
"The deal demonstrates the continued expansion northwards of the prime pitch on Bond Street," said Anthony Selwyn, the director at Savills who acted for the landlord.
Rents on Bond Street and London's other main shopping strips in the West End district are escalating as retailers compete for the best locations. The district avoided the last recession as the weak pound lifted tourism, while retailers reported a 3.1 percent increase in sales for last year compared with a 0.1 percent in U.K. retail sales.
Rental costs for large stores on the two shopping strips collectively known as Bond Street are still cheaper than for small units in the jewelry district. The highest zone A rent on Bond Street is the 965 pounds that jeweler Piaget, a unit of Cie. Financiere Richemont SA, agreed to pay in December 2009 for 169 Old Bond Street, a 3,500 square-foot shop.
Labelux is owned by the German Reimann family.

If i had 160 GB of hard drive on a 32 bit OS what is the largest possible memory address? and if a 32 bit pointer can map upto 4 GB of memory how is it possible to map an address above 4 GB?
There is no direct mapping between memory address space and location on the HDD.
The instructions to the OS on where to find the data it needs is more
Read more here: Wikipedia on file systems
It all depends on your file system. Memory is addressed by bytes, which causes a 4GB limit (2^32). File systems are typically addressed by clusters which are larger than 1 bytes. If you used a 4KB cluster you could access 4096 * 2^32, or roughly 4TB of hard drive space. You still only access 2^32 elements but each would be 4KB in size, resulting in a total much larger than 4GB.
But the 2^32 limit can show up in other places - file systems such as NTFS can access a maximum of 4,294,967,295 files on a volume.

I'm currently using WordPress for the news section of my website, Rattlehead HQ. My Blog's address is here: http://www.rattleheadhq.com/wordpress (soon to change to /news).
I'm currently redesigning the website. I am going use the rss2html php script to display snippets of the stories on the index page, as you can see here: http://www.rattleheadhq.com/redesign
Anyway, many of my posts contain external links (virtually every), and they're not displaying as links on the index, as you may see.
And so, long story boring, I'm looking for a plugin that modifies the RSS to export the HTML of the posts if possible (even better would be for it to export just links as I use blockquote a lot too)

Confirmation today that "The Education Ministry will introduce values to the national curriculum, as parents fail to teach them at home." That at least is how The Dominion describes the move by the Ministry to have New Zealand's government schools teach the Ministry's chosen values.
As a good friend of mine said when this was first announced, there's more than a whiff of Orwell about this. Best to effect a complete separation of school and state, for reasons I argue here.

A 'whiff of Orwell' across NZ schools

It's that it's a pointless waste of money. You can't teach this stuff that way.
This is utterly disgusting, firstly for the idea and 2ndly for the simpering support and lack of criticism so far from NZ media. Imagine the furor if Shipley's Government had tried to do the same in the 1990's.ReplyDelete

I made homemade pizza the other night and it was delicious except for the fact the toppings wouldn't stay on the cooked dough. It was a Chicken Alfredo pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and chicken. I used a metal round pizza pan to bake the pizza and the taste was amazing! However, like I stated earlier, the topping and the cheese would fall off. Why is this? How do I make it stick to the dough? Maybe I put too many toppings on the pizza, but I believe I put a perfect, good amount. Thanks for the feedback! (:
Probably, you spreaded too much sauce on your pizza base; that is why melted cheese could not get onto the base.
You might make that pizza in a hasty. So, you put your uncooked pizza in an overheated oven.
You need to select the mozzarella cheese which can work as like as glue stick used in heat-gun. I believe you can make your pizza perfectly after 2/3 more trial and error.

Signed Original Soewardja Indonesian Mooi Indie School Watercolor Village Visit
This is an original signed watercolor by Soewardja an artist of the Mooi Indie school who was born in 1900. "MOOI INDIE is the Dutch name given to a pre-war school of Indonesian artists; many of these artists painted for the Dutch colonists, who wanted to take visible memoriables with them on their return to Holland; Artists who painted in this tradition, were looked down upon, by their other Nationalist Indonesian colleagues. In Other words, the school was associated with the Dutch colonialists. Interestingly former president Sukarno was a great admirer of the MOOI INDIE SCHOOL and he owned a large collection, in spite of his nationalist views!!" This original was painted circa 1940 by the listed Indonesian artist SUWARDJA; the framed picture is signed SOEWARDJA (in the lower left hand corner) being the Dutch way to spell his name. This is one of a pair that I am putting in my shop. My fiance found it years ago when he was going to garage sales etc. but he can't remember at all where he found it. The watercolor itself is 10 1/4" X 9", matted, framed and under glass. The watercolor is in very good condition overall, but there is one significant flaw to the paper. One half inch from the top middle of the painting there is an L shaped cut, the long side is 1 1/4" then 1/4" 'foot'. I know nothing about the 'cut's' origin. All I know about it is what can be seen. It was there when my fiance purchased the painting and the painting has not been taken out of the frame since we have had it. I do not think it detracts from the beauty of the work. Please view pictures and decide for yourself. The 16 3/4" square frame is in excellent condition. In my research I found one Soewardja 11" X 9" watercolor sold by Christie's auction house in Amsterdam in April of 1995 for $113. If you would like to buy the pair there would be an additional savings that I will calculate for combined shipping. I am looking forward to sharing these wonderful works with another admirer. They have not been seen by others for many years.

Everyone has days where they feel blah, down, or sad. Typically, these feelings disappear after a day or two, particularly if circumstances change for the better. People experiencing the temporary "blues" don't feel a sense of crushing hopelessness or helplessness, and are able, for the most part, to continue to engage in regular activities. Prolonged anhedonia (the inability to experience pleasure), hopelessness, and failure to experience an increase in mood in response positive events rarely accompany "normal" sadness. The same may be said for other, more intense sorts of symptoms such as suicidal thoughts and hallucinations (e.g., hearing voices). Instead, such symptoms suggest that serious varieties of depression may be present, including the subject of this document: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or (more informally),
Major Depression.
