The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer is out, and things don't seem to be going well for our favorite superpowered crew. Here's the official synopsis:
When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Avengers: Age of Ultron will be in theaters May 1, 2015.
First impressions? Looks really dark and intense, huh? Exciting!
Except...are we the only ones disappointed there wasn't more Black Widow/Hawkeye? (Think we spotted them together in only one quick shot, which is a shame because we have hopes and dreams for that relationship in Avengers 2...)

Using the Audio Player on a page that calls only one blog entry
I've recently installed the WordPress Audio Player plugin (the latest version) on my site, which contains the audio from previous radio shows I've done (www.nusportscorner.braican.com/shows). This worked fine.
However, I wanted to put the most recent show on the homepage. So I created some code to put the content of the latest blog on the homepage, which is not part of a WordPress theme; it's just a .php page with code that calls WordPress. The text of the blog came through, but the audio player did not. I tried the troubleshooting method, but I fear that since the homepage is not part of a WordPress theme, I can't access the wp_head() and wp_head() functions indicated on the troubleshooting page of the plugin's site.
So I downloaded the standalone player, and put the appropriate JavaScript in the head of both my homepage, and the header.php of the blog theme. The player shows up, but when I put the javaScript in the blog (using the HTML tab), nothing shows up. After trying a couple things, including using the two in conjunction, I have no idea how to achieve my goal of having a separate page from the blog show the audio player.
Any help is appreciated.

This was a great bungalow very well equipped in a great location for easy access to all Lincs hot spots
Welcome goodies of eggs,butter,milk ,bread and straws very much appreciated
My husband and I recently returned to Mon Abri, always a delight to spend time in such a delightful property and beautiful location. Thanks again Malcolm and Jill for your hospitality, welcome pack on arrival and fresh veg from the garden, perfect. Hope to see you again soon. Ann & Frank
This lovely bungalow has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable home from home. The owner lives next door and is available if needed, but not intrusive. The village is ideally situated for visiting the town, villages and attractions of Lincolnshire. A welcome pack is provided, along with a lovely hand arranged vase of fresh flowers. In 40 years of cottage holidays this was one of the best.
The house is lovely, warm and cosy and has everything you could possibly need. Malcolm is a good host only knocking on the door if he had something to give us, it was home grown sweetcorn and sweet it was. We would highly recommend this cosy Home from Home.
Mon Abri was the perfect cottage to host our small family (2 adults + 3 young kids) for a one week stay in Lincolnshire.
It's just far enough from the main roads to be peaceful and tranquil, but still accessible to enable us to explore the area at our leisure. The property itself is nicely presented, with ample accommodation. It boasts an impressive garden, with an additional vegetable garden at the rear overlooking beautiful fields.
The cottage has all the mod cons needed, including high speed BT Broadband, and the landlord (who lives next door) is an extremely nice and helpful chap. He even gave us plenty of homegrown veggies to take home.
We will definitely be coming back!
We enjoyed our stay at Mon Abri very much. It was nice to come back to such a comfortable house after our excursions. The garden is lovely, too.
The quiet village of Hemingby is seated on the edge of the Linconlshire Wolds. The village is ideally situated to offer the holiday maker a variety of experiences. The area has many lovely walks and cycle rides for all abilities. Louth and Horncastle, the closest market towns have interesting shopping areas, with a choice of supermarkets, numerous antique shops and a large selection of cafes and restaurants. Woodhall Spa, a short drive away, houses the Dambusters Memorial and at Coningsby the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The city of Lincoln with its magnificent Cathedral and Castle, its narrow cobbled streets and large shopping area is ideal for a day visit. Towards the coast, Skegness and Mablethorpe provide all the fun of the traditional seaside. In the winter months there is the unique opportunity to see the grey seal colony at Donna Nook. There are often over 1000 seals and pups at the colony near North Somercotes.

Katerin - Sumptuous Cigarette Smoking Bj - [Low]
Katerin has been making homemade porno tapes with the folks in her surroundings for a while now, she likes the fuck-fest and she enjoys being on camera. One of her raunchier boyfriends dreamed to make a smoking porno gauze: he wished her to puff away on cigarettes while she deepthroated his yam-sized fuck-stick and he filmed it POINT OF VIEW. Katerin is not a smoker, but she agreed anyway because she indeed desired to make a mind-blowing smoking fetish gauze. Katerin is 19 years old and from Colombia. She has impressive green eyes, and she has a truly lovely quirky smile because she is wearing braces. Katerin luvs to smile and she cannot stop sniggering when she lights her very first cigarette. She has not smoked much before, so the head rush of her very first few hauls makes her dizzy. Her beau is waiting for her with the camera and she anxiously gets down on her knees, taunting the head of his gigantic manmeat with her lips and then taking a deep haul from her menthol and deep-throating the smoke all over his wood. She keeps gulping his boner and taking hauls from her smoke until he eventually blows his explosion all over her face and she smokes one last cigarette with jizm running down her chin to end this smoking pornography movie.447 Views

The United States of America agrees to fund a growing revolution movement in Spanish owned Texas in return for a portion of land being settled by Americans. Under Bernardo Gutierrez de Lara, a diplomat of Mexican revolution leader Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, and a former army officer named Augustus Magee, a militia force of Texans managed to capture Nacogdoches. There the Green Flag Republic was officially proclaimed. The militia's ranks were swelled by patriotic Texans and soon after, an official US regiment of 3,000 soldiers bringing the total of troops to 8,000 men. These forces soon moved to meet a large Spanish force sent to conquer the insurgency at Medina. The American John Barnard, took control of the armed forces and decided to make a preemptive strike against the Spanish. The Texans surprised the Spanish and the Battle of Medina turned into rout as all but 100 Spanish soldiers were captured or killed. One of the survivors who managed to flee was a young lieutenant named Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Rumor has it that he later swore to stamp out "those Texan dogs." The Texans then went on to form a government in San Antonio. They formed a Congress of wealthy landowners that voted Lara as president and began to draft a constitution. The Spanish had begun to reform their force and were preparing to lead another campaign into Texas when a full blown revolution led by Costilla in Mexico City formed. The Mexican army soon rebelled against their Spanish leaders and in 6 months the last Spanish garrison in Veracruz.
In early January the Spanish government officially recognized the independent Texan and Mexican governments and recognition from other countries soon followed. In Texas San Antonio was made the capital and the Congress drafted a Texan Constitution modeled after the US one. The government then held open elections where Juan de Morra was elected President of Texas, Lara was appointed as President of Congress, Magee was given control of the army and Rodolfo Aladenmar was elected vice president. Texas and the US then brokered a deal in which the land west of San Antonio would be made an autonomous entity within Texas that was open to American settlers. John Barnard was appointed governor of the new area which was named Fredonia.
Lara resigned as president of congress. He moved to Mexico where he would serve in the new Mexican government. Marco Martez is appointed in his place.
The population of Texas is 530,000-260,000 of those are in Fredonia due to massive immigration from the US.
Elections are held in which two distinct parties form-Los Republicanos and Los Tejanos Democraticos. President Morra of the Republicanos is reelected along with his vice president Aladenmar but the Democraticos have a majority in congress.
Stephen Austin moves to Texas with 10,000 others, Texas begins its free land initiatives to Americans in the rest of Texas
The Texan government replaces Barnard as governor of Fredonia with Austin who had risen quickly through the political ladder. The American population of Texas outnumbers those of Spanish origin with 600,000 Americans to 300,000 Mexicans.
Magee dies. Morra and Aladenmar are again reelected. The Democraticos demand a recount but are refused.
Depression racks Texas, Morra is blamed and a coup is led by Luis Valez. Morra resigns as president and manages to flee to Mexico but Aladenmar is captured and imprisoned. Martez is elected president of Texas.
Congress allows Americans full rights due to growing resentment against the Spanish speaking minority.
The new Anglo party led by Americans gains a majority in Congress. Stephen Austin is elected president. By 1838 Congress will be completely dominated by the Anglo party, the former Democraticos are reformed by whites under the name of Texan Democrats.
Settlers, by now completely white, had been pushing onto the Mexican border of Texas and beyond. Mexico, under the control of Texas hater Santa Anna, claimed the border was at the Nueces River, Texas claimed the Rio Grande. Both sides began building up forces when the Mexicans launched a raid against a Texan fort. A few days later congress unanimously voted to declare war under President Sam Houston. Though outnumbered the Texan army managed to push past the Rio Grande, into Arizona and gained several key forts.
The US joined the war on the Texas side and the combined forces eventually captured New Mexico, California and finally pushed into Mexico itself and captured the capital.
The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo is signed giving all of California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona to Texas in return for $18 million. The US got nothing which greatly heightened tensions between US and Texas. Santa Anna was overthrown in Mexico and most of the country broke down into smaller states.
Next... The Oregon conflict!

On January 10, 2012, we increased the CDHI letter of credit facility to $300 million and extended the maturity date to January 2, 2016. As a result of the completion of the sale of Riverside Energy Center, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDHI, on December 31, 2012, we are required to cash collateralize letters of credit issued in excess of $225 million until replacement collateral is contributed to the CDHI collateral package, which we are in the process of arranging. At December 31, 2012, we had $28 million of cash collateral posted in support of outstanding letters of credit under our CDHI letter of credit facility. We do not believe that this change will have a material impact on our liquidity. Liquidity increased to approximately $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2012, up from approximately $2.0 billion at December 31, 2011. Cash flows from operating activities in 2012 resulted in net inflows of $653 million compared to $775 million in 2011. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash paid for interest due to timing of interest payments on our debt and an increase in working capital driven by higher margin requirements. Cash flows used in investing activities decreased to $470 million in 2012 compared to $836 million in 2011, driven largely by higher proceeds from the sales of our Broad River and Riverside Energy Centers, partially offset by the purchase of our Bosque Energy Center. Cash flows used in financing activities were $151 million in 2012, driven largely by $463 million in share repurchases in 2012, partially offset by net proceeds from borrowing on our project debt facilities and our 2012 refinancing activities, as further described below.

Tiny Bellamy cheers on Crusaders with a better view
Director of Athletics Kelli Lindley shares about the impact Tiny Bellamy had on the NNU campus and athletics community.
Crusaders travel to Kenya to deliver Christmas gifts
Inspired by their coaches, Jake and Jenny Perry, seven current student-athletes and Northwest Nazarene alumnus Ashley Puga, volunteered their time this Christmas season to help Sean and Meredith Stewart with One 5 Ministries, and Andy and Jamie Fehr with Wordsower International.
5 highlights of 2015
The year 2015 has come and gone. But before we launch into 2016, we want to take a minute to reflect on some of the best moments of the year past. NNU saw its ups and downs in 2015, but has been overwhelmingly blessed along the way. Here are five moments that stood out above the rest.
Former player Jon Hawkins returns to NNU as assistant coach
Jonathan Hawkins, former NNU basketball player, says his appointment as assistant men's basketball coach "wasn't a coincidence—it was a Godincidence. Thankfully, God opened the door for me to walk through!"
5 reasons to be an NNU athlete
Although collegiate sports are not for everyone, my experience as an athlete has been a worthwhile investment. Despite the year-round time, energy, and effort that collegiate sports require on top of an already jammed student schedule, many of my favorite college memories derive from my involvement on the Track & Field team.
Athletic Director shares her NNU experience
"I've really enjoyed and fallen in love with NNU's mission of transforming the whole person," says Director of Athletics Kelli Lindley. "There's a depth to what we try to do here. Our goal is to create a balance so student-athletes grow in every area of their lives—first and foremost that they grow to love the Lord more."
For the love of the game
After returning from a mission trip to Masaya, three baseball players discover a love for missional service and the country of Nicaragua.
NNU welcomes basketball coach Scott Flemming
Hired in May, Scott Flemming brings a 440-273 career collegiate coaching record with him to the Northwest Nazarene sidelines along with two National Coach of the Year awards and a Christian College National Championship.
Sweeping academic championships
Crusader student-athletes excelled well beyond just the playing fields and gym floors during the 2014-15 season. Last July, Northwest Nazarene University Athletics claimed an unprecedented honor as the Crusaders swept the season-long Great Northwest Athletic Conference Academic All-Sports title for the fifth time, tying for the most academic titles in league history.
Breaking records
Payton Lewis set the bar high on his track & field career.The freshman from Nampa Christian High earned two NCAA Division II National Championships berths, won three Great Northwest Athletic Conference titles and set five school records during 2014-15.

This $70 million vacuum distillation unit was part of a $380 million refinery expansion project.
Ausenco was responsible for the layout and detailed design of the vacuum unit and associated pipe-rack modules. In addition, Ausenco provided CAD/CAE support, construction management support, data management and integration services for the entire project. Our integration of the shop fabrication and construction installation data into the project models provided a means to accurately plan and progress the daily construction activities.
System inspection, test package generation and system turnover was controlled using the Ausenco Construction Control Database (CDD).
The Ausenco PlantAPPS™ web-based materials management system was used to perform field material reconciliations for the entire project.
Project highlights:


text:
We noted earlier this month that Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola agreed to restructure his contract, and as we continue to ponder the makeup of the Lions' offensive line, it's worth looking into the available details of the new deal for clues about the next season.
While it makes sense that Raiola will be the Lions' center in 2013, the numbers tell us the Lions haven't made much of a cash or cap commitment to that eventuality. Raiola agreed to lower his base salary to near the veteran's minimum of $940,000, according to one of the Lions' web site writers. Update: ESPN Stats & Information's new salary cap database lists his base salary at $1 million with no bonuses.
In the process, Raiola he lowered his salary-cap number from $6.062 million to $3.012 million.
The Lions' would lose much if anything if Raiola doesn't make the team out of training camp. A $1 million salary is a reasonable investment to lock in the security of a veteran center before free agency and the draft. Releasing him before the season would shave $1 million from his cap figure, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
If the Lions were convinced Raiola couldn't be their center next season, they would have released him outright, as they did with right guard Stephen Peterman and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch. So the guess is they have penciled him in as their '13 starter. But if another player outperforms Raiola in training camp, the new contract would allow the Lions to make a decision based on football rather than the salary cap.

In Navajo (Navajo: Diné) culture, a skin-walker (yee naaldlooshii) is a type of harmful witch who has the ability to turn into an animal, or to disguise themselves as an animal, usually for the purposes of harming people.
In the Navajo language, yee naaldlooshii translates to "by means of it, [he or she] goes on all fours".[1] While perhaps the most common variety seen in horror fiction by non-Navajo people, the yee naaldlooshii is one of several varieties of Navajo witch, specifically a type of 'ánti'įhnii.[1] The legend of the skin-walkers is uncertain, mostly due to reluctance to discuss the subject with outsiders (in part because strangers may be witches themselves), thus people are led to draw their own conclusions from the stories they hear.[2]
Navajo people are reluctant to reveal skinwalker lore to non-Navajos, or to discuss it at all among those they do not trust.[3]

If Sylvia Mathews Burwell is confirmed as the next secretary of Health and Human Services, it puts her in charge of a sprawling health-care overhaul that's still gaining its footing and is under constant attack from opponents. The Obama administration is celebrating the more than 7.5 million people who have signed up for coverage in Obamacare health insurance marketplaces, but there are big implementation challenges for the next HHS leader.
Here are the major challenges the next HHS chief will face:
1. Obamacare politics aren't changing
Resigning HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius may have taken the brunt of criticism from Obamacare opponents, but their objections to the law won't change with her departure. The midterm elections are just seven months away, and the Republican campaign playbook features a heavy dose of Obamacare opposition.
As much as possible, the Obama administration wants to dodge potential negative headlines over the health-care law leading up to November. Opponents, like Americans for Prosperity, have already dumped millions of dollars toward anti-Obamacare ads in states with vulnerable Senate Democrats facing reelection, and they have more cash to spend.
Remember the wave of bad publicity over cancelled health plans last year? There could be a second round this year, when small businesses face the end of their health plan years. Many small businesses opted for early renewal last year, but their old health plans could face cancellation in states that aren't allowing non-compliant plans to continue.
Health-care costs and access to providers are two major issues to watch over the next few months. Not much is yet known about how people are using their new Obamacare coverage or whether they believe it's a good value, but HHS has shown a willingness to take quick administrative action when implementation problems arise.
2. Tech problems are far from over
The consumer-facing side of HealthCare.gov has been working pretty well since early December, but the job is far from over. The administration is still building the back-end payment system for insurers, many Medicaid applications coming through HealthCare.gov are still caught in limbo, and the enrollment portal for the small business exchanges remains unfinished.
On top of that, a handful of states are dealing with enrollment Web sites still in pretty rough shape. Maryland already ditched its enrollment system for one like Connecticut's, Oregon may drop its system to join HealthCare.gov, and Massachusetts is hoping for a "functional" Web site that meets the law's basic requirements by November. A few others are also struggling.
The one thing working in the new HHS secretary's favor: There's actually a point person on the technology side, something the administration lacked when HealthCare.gov launched Oct. 1. Former Microsoft executive Kurt DelBene has been overseeing the tech operations for a few months now.
3. Planning for 2015 enrollment
Enrollment in 2014 health plans is winding down, with April 15 as the last day for people who experienced sign-up troubles to pick a health plan. But it's time to start thinking about enrollment in 2015 plans, which is scheduled to start Nov. 15.
HHS and its new secretary will have just a short window to plan for next year and assess what worked in the 2014 enrollment period and what didn't. The 2015 enrollment period is supposed to be considerably shorter — just three months instead of six months.
Though the administration hasn't set a target for 2015, the Congressional Budget Office already laid down the marker, projecting that the total number of enrollees through Obamacare insurance marketplaces will hit 13 million by the end of 2015. They're already more than halfway there: 7.5 million have signed up through the exchanges in 2014, and that number may grow before the next enrollment period starting Nov. 15.
4. The unfinished Medicaid expansion
Twenty-four states haven't joined the health-care law's expansion of Medicaid, leaving about 5 million people stuck in a coverage gap. In many of these states, there's not much the administration can do except hope for favorable elections.
One of Sebelius's greatest achievements was working with Republican governors in states like Arizona, Iowa and Michigan to expand Medicaid against stiff opposition back home. Still, there's opportunity for the next secretary to bring more states on board. At least three Republican governors in Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Utah are currently discussing Medicaid expansion designs with HHS, and Republican governors from Indiana and Oklahoma are operating on one-year waivers as HHS encourages them to join the Medicaid expansion next year.
5. Keeping insurers, allies happy — and keeping premiums down
The administration needs insurers to make Obamacare work, and insurers need Obamacare to work, which has made for a sometimes-awkward dynamic of cooperation between the two sides during the rocky Obamacare rollout. The administration has already made some concessions to the insurance industry since the failed launch, giving it a break on costs they incurred as a direct result.
One of the key metrics for judging Obamacare's success in its first year will be just how much do premiums rise in 2015. HHS is under pressure to keep premium increases down, but the department is also getting competing pressure from supporters to ensure that enrollees have robust coverage and provider options. HHS already signaled it would provide more stringent health plan oversight and require broader provider networks in 2015. But how will insurers react to this? HHS also provided insurers with more leeway in 2014 and 2015 to design benefit packages, but Obamacare advocates have pushed for a more prescriptive approach from the federal government in the following years.

Jason Stewart, affectionately known as Them Jeans, is one of our favorite DJs. His music spans genres, but has one vitally important thing in common – it makes you wanna dance. We asked him to spin up some Halloween tunes for us, and tell us more about all his intriguing side projects.
What does Them Jeans mean?
The name Them Jeans comes from a couple things. I used to paint graffiti a lot and my name was "Jeans," also around the time I chose it, "them jeans" was a popular phrase in lots of rap songs, and the name of a Master P song.

Tall Tales is a podcast I started a few years back with my co-host Nikki Jagerman. It's a weekly comedy show and we've had everyone from Diplo to Catfish's Max Joseph to RiFF RaFF & many more! I also just started a weekly food podcast called The Stew with my friend Chris Chang, it's the same thing but more about food and less about music.
Your favorite spot to DJ?
My favorite spot to DJ is probably in LA, for warehouse parties, I've been playing here for so long I usually know what kinda music the crowd wants, for New York I always have a great time at Le Bain. I also have a lot of fun in South America whenever I head down there.
Any upcoming shows or plans for ThemJeans?
I'm playing a couple Halloween parties this week here in LA, and heading on a road trip across America from NY to LA, and hitting a few cities on the way for shows.
Where do you have to eat and go out when you're in NYC?
When I'm in NY I love getting breakfast at Baz Bagel, and when I go there next week I plan on hitting Okonomi as soon as I get to Brooklyn.
Be sure to visit Them Jean's soundcloud here and follow him on instagram.

Educational & Fun!
by Mindy on 12/13/2008
My family has enjoyed all of Van Fleets books, but this one is fun for the whole family! The pages are fascinating and educational. The poster that comes with is it is also great. I do think if children are careful, this book is too young for 6-9 year olds, 3 to 5 year olds is the more appropriate age range.

Jason O'Connor and newcomer to porn Luke Vogel start their session at Hard Brit Lads kissing and groping their stiffies in their trackie bottoms. Their throbbing bulges are taken out and they exchange oral favors. Luke even takes Jason's 8 inch cock down his throat. Still in footie socks and sports vest, Luke is penetrated and pounded by Jason until he pumps out his jizz standing over him.

For a lot of my mates, third year means one thing, the Year Abroad. Be it somewhere exotic, like Brazil, or somewhat less exotic, like Bristol ( I 100% have a friend doing his year out from Edinburgh to Bristol ), these should be the songs to accompany you on your bon voyage!
Leaving on a Jet Plane – John Denver
This was actually what I listened to in the car on my way to the airport, and it pretty much says it all. It's a weird feeling knowing you're leaving 90% of your nearest and dearest behind, both exciting and a little scary, especially when it comes to relationships. I'm approaching 2 years with my nerd of a girlfriend ( she's ok at times I guess… ) and it can be daunting facing a year away, and John certainly knows how hard long distance is here, but he puts a lot of the ideas I have in nice rhymes with fun chord patterns. Plus, this song has a mad cute moment in Armageddon.
I Am A Rock – Simon and Garfunkel
It's gonna happen, 100%, guaranteed, at some point. You're gonna get homesick. Your year abroad advisors aren't just sentimental dorks who get teary, you will miss English Netflix and Sunday Roasts for sure. Instead of getting said, take on the mindset of Simon and Garfunkel. You don't actually need anyone because hey you're tough enough to beat scissors in game of all games ( but lose to paper, what's up with that? ) I mean I can't actually get behind this isolating myself everyone idea because I'm weak, but it's a nice idea and a top song.
Sweet Disposition – Temper Trap
Wherever you end up, you're gonna want to go get out there and explore. I think this is pretty much entirely down to that great montage in 500 Days of Summer where Tom takes Summer around LA and shows her how the architecture above street level is actually great and she falls for him and it's all good then he gets heartbroken and it all just gets a bit sad. But this song is perfect for a walk around town, it's weirdly empowering just going out from wherever you're staying with no other intention than to wander, and this song is that perfect soundtrack for it.
Don't Wait – Mapei
This is mainly because this is my favourite jam at the moment and you need some sweet new edgy cool music from a sweet edgy cool music blog to look sweet, edgy, and of course cool in front of your new friends! Go make those cool friends, you've earned them. Winners win, the life motto of a Mister Michael Crewe. Have a sick year if you're on a year abroad as well, and I will be adding more music in a similar vein too when I'm bored of eating macaroons ( lol jk never happening. )

Lahore: Pakistan's youthful pacer Mohammad Sami achieved a Test hat-trick as Sri Lanka was bowled out for 528 in its first innings on day three of the Asian Test championship final on Friday. Sami dismissed Buddhika Fernando in the last ball before lunch. With his next two deliveries after the break, he took out Nuwan Zoysa and Muthiah Muralitharan to become Pakistan's third bowler to achieve a Test hat-trick. The 21-year-old from Karachi also achieved a hat-trick in the One-day International against the West Indies in Sharjah last month. Veteran pacer Wasim Akram achieved back-to-back hat-tricks against Sri Lanka, first in the league game in Lahore and then in the final of the Asian Test championship in Dhaka in 1998-99. Akram was previously the only bowler to achieve Test and One-day hat-tricks. Abdur Razzaq took a hat-trick against Sri Lanka at Galle two years ago.
Lanka piles on Pak's agony with record 528 for 8

Public Course
Claiming Your Voice
Location: Esalen Institute, Big Sur California
Workshop size is limited So please reserve your space now.
Weekend Intensive Workshop size is limited So please reserve your space now.
Some of the greatest leaps in personal development come when we stop believing that others have more access to deep wisdom than we do, have superior opinions to ours, or hold sway over us when we finally know at the end of the day that we can trust ourselves.
This workshop addresses many aspects of claiming your voice in writing, inquiry, and, most importantly, in daily life through the choices you make in it. This weekend intensive will help you gain access to your many inner voices as well as different aspects of your character, many of which you suppress and ignore, but which can each provide important insights and wisdom in your everyday life. Get comfortable in your own skin.
You will deepen your ability to hear yourself and all that there is to hear. What does your body say about how you feel right now? What do your emotions have to tell you? What feelings and messages have you been resisting? This workshop will teach you to allow them to surface so you can come deeper into your own power. You will gain confidence in knowing your truth and speaking your truth with conviction and passion. This workshop is for anyone of any age ready to sink into the experience of being and trusting yourself.
Workshop size is limited So please reserve your space now.

I value your advice and guidance.I got all that I expected from the weekend and more. I have made a huge step towards recovery from my emotional trauma since the weekend Ommar, physician, Chicago, IL

Congressman Kenny Marchant (TX-24) issued the following statement after President Obama unveiled his corporate tax reform plan:
"After nearly a year, the President has finally weighed in with a framework of his own for corporate tax reform. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax policy, I look forward to working with Chairman Camp to craft legislation that simplifies the tax code by lowering rates and closing loopholes.
"Since joining this Committee last year, I have made comprehensive tax reform (both corporate and individual) a high priority of my legislative agenda. I thank Chairman Camp for holding hearings over the last year to outline ways in which we can streamline the code. A simpler code would encourage economic growth and investment here at home and lead to significant private sector job creation. As a long-time small businessman, I know the hurdles companies face when complying with the federal tax code.
"Unfortunately, the President's proposal is not comprehensive. We need comprehensive tax reform which includes individual tax reform as well. This is because at least half of business income is taxed at the individual rates. These are small businesses, the engine of our economy. A simplified tax code that is flatter and fairer will allow our businesses to better compete in the global economy, encourage small businesses to expand, and allow individuals and families to keep more of what they earn."

Proceed with Caution before Investing in Technology Buy-Back Programs
To keep up with the blinding speed of advancing technology, many consumers opt for technology "buy-back" programs when they purchase high-tech gadgets. These involve a one-time fee at the time of purchase. Are they are good idea for everyone?
The item must be turned in within a specified period - typically six months from the time of purchase. However, the plan usually comes into effect one month after purchase. If a consumer waits too long, the buy-back discount drops from 50 percent to 40 percent, and then 30 percent within days of that deadline. With that in mind, as is the case with extended warranties, some consumers may not get their money's worth from buy-back programs.
Connecticut Better Business Bureau recommends considering the pros and cons of these programs before shelling out extra money at purchase with the goal of making a discounted trade-in at a later date:
Gadget buy-backs are not ideal for the disorganized - If you haven't saved your original receipts, power cords and manuals, you could lose money on the deal or your payout could be less than expected. Most buy-back programs insist that the original items and accessories be brought back to the store at the time of the exchange.
Buy-back programs can provide a sense of insurance on your product - Buy-back programs essentially guarantee a resale value, meaning they act as insurance against loss of value. But like any insurance policy, its true value can become nominal and hard to define. Before enrolling in a buy-back program, make sure to read the fine print. Many buy-back options have conditions and constraints that could ultimately keep you from being able to sell back your used gadget.
You may get more for your electronic gadgets elsewhere - Many consumers use sites like eBay and Craigslist to sell their used electronics. In many instances you will get more money for your electronics by using these sites than opting for a retailer's buy-back program.
Mobile phone contracts are not covered - When you purchase a new phone and add the retailer's buy-back program, keep in mind that when you sell your phone back to the retailer, your wireless provider will continue billing for the duration of your contract. In addition, you get only half the unsubsidized price. Your upgraded phone will also be unsubsidized and quite expensive, so, in the case of a smart phone, that means you are paying around $350 to get the latest phone every six months.
Remember that the interest of the retailer is usually at heart - Your return will come in the form of a gift card more often than not. The plan and gift card mean you are locked into using the issuing retailer for your next technology purchase.
Heavier sales tax load - You may end up paying triple the sales tax by the time you upgrade. By paying the tax once when you buy the gadget, a second time when you return it and again when you use the gift card, you end up paying more sales taxes than you would otherwise.
Personal information may be at risk - While a buy-back program may include wiping personal data from a device, there is no way to verify that has been done once you hand over your product. Many electronic items such as a smart-phones, laptops and other mobile devices can hold a great deal of personal information. If this gets into the wrong hands, your contacts, emails, telephone numbers and other personal information could be compromised. Be sure to fully wipe out all personal data, especially if you enter long distance billing codes and credit card information in your portable devices.
These issues will not dissuade consumers who want to stay on the cutting edge of electronic technology. For some, the buy-back programs are worth every cent. The programs vary from one retailer to the next, so be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully, and ask whether you can have several days grace after purchase to consider a program before signing up.

These sunglasses were an impulse buy when my daughter accidentally sat on my old pair while getting into my car, and I didn't have the energy to trek to the mall to try to find decent sunglasses off-season. All I can say is Wow! They are light weight, superb quality, inexpensive and they are shipped right to your door for free (the cost of shipping was included in the price of my purchase)!!! Would recommend this company to everyone. A Very satisfied customer!!!

About hawkman
- Birthday
hawkman replied to hawkman's topic in Windows XPWell, I knew you can change the font in display properties. But that only allows you to change the fonts for icons and menus. However file and folder tasks for instance and program windows are not affected. The file list in utorrent for instance still is 8 pt Tahoma because it uses MS Shell Dlg. Oh well, if nobody here can tell me how to change shell32.dll without corrupting it (actually it's Reshacker's fault that happens), my last option is to try at virtual plastic. Edit: Never mind. The dialogs can be recompiled using Reshacker 3.4.0. Seems the corruption was caused by Reshacker 3.2.9
hawkman replied to Grig182's topic in Windows XPRegular user? You gotta be kidding. You have to fight applications every step of the way. They need to write to the windows folder, to system 32, they need to write to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE, even changing the file associations needs administrative privileges. I'm experienced enough to know how to protect myself.
hawkman replied to hawkman's topic in Windows XPI knew all that. The problem is not the font itself, but the size. You said it yourself, you can set the font (not the font size). You can do it with reshacker, as seen in the picture, but this seems to corrupt shell32.dll So anyone know how to modify that file without making windows unuseable?
hawkman posted a topic in Windows XPHi. I've been looking all over the net for some way to change the size of the MS Shell Dlg Font. The only thing I found is how to change the font itself, but not its size. Until I tried using reshacker on shell32.dll, and I found this FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg" on almost every dialog. Here's the Recycle Bin Properties dialog for instance 1045 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 145, 155 STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Global" LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg" Changing the 8 in the bold part changes the size of the MS Shell Dlg font. I set it to 10, then compiled the script when prompted by Reshacker. It seemed like the change worked, but after hacking shell32.dll like this, the system wouldn't boot no more complaining about shell32.dll not being a valid win32 application or something like that, and I had to replace the hacked dll with the original one. So I'm back to squinting at that tiny font. Any one know how it can be changed and still keep windows usable?
