One of the things that I didn't like about the change log is that it didn't give clear context - what exactly is the problem it is trying to fix? When you talk about "disks" changing size (reduced radius:-?) I think first of 'dm' and 'md' - yet it clearly isn't dm related as dm doesn't even use that code, and if it was 'md' related I would have thought I would have heard about it.... So presumably these are some SCSI-attached devices that do internal volume management and can change the size of .... targets? LUNs? something like that. So can these things change size without the SCSI layer immediately knowing about it?? Don't you get some sort of "unit attention" or something? The idea that the device might reduce in size and then grow again seems just plain wrong. If that is possible it could return to it's original size and you would never notice? And if there are cases that you know you will never notice, then it seems like it is the wrong solution. It would have been more credible if it *only* tried to flush when the size was reduced ... which you do suggest as a possibility above I think. The "potential security hole" seems completely bogus. If you give me permission to read something, and I do, then you remove that permission, the fact that I still remember what I read is not a security hole. It is a natural fact of life As for the two cases: I would describe them: 1. planned. The fs is already shrunk to within the new boundary so there is nothing to be gained by flushing, and we could have to reload a pile of data from storage which would be pointless 2. unplanned. The fs is probably toast, so whether we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of difference. So I would vote for not flushing. The "not keeping stale data around" argument ... the only data that is clearly stale is data that is in the block-device cache and beyond the new EOF. Most filesystems keep most data in the page cache rather than the block device cache so this would just be some metadata - maybe inode tables or block usage bitmaps or similar. And caches regularly keep data around that isn't actually going to be used - so keeping a bit more on the rare occasion of a block-device-resize doesn't seem like an important cost. Getting errors a little bit earlier in the case of an unplanned shrink is possibly a credible argument. This would be read errors only of course - write errors would still arrive at the same time. I'm not sure it would really be very much earlier...maybe a bit in some cases. On the whole, the arguments both for and against this change - in principle - seem rather weak: "maybe" and "possibly" rather than something concrete. So given that (due to an oversight) it actually causes filesystem corruption, I tend to agree with Christoph that the best approach at this stage is the revert the original patch, and then review all the related code and come up with a "correct" approach. And just to clarify: when I first found that description "unconvincing" I hadn't thought through all of these issues - I think it was just that the justification seems vague rather than concrete, so it was hard to reason about it. Would you be uncomfortable if I asked Linus to revert both my fix and your original patch?? Thanks, NeilBrown

Reverence is more than just quietly sitting.
It's thinking of Father above.
A feeling I get when I think of His blessings.
I'm reverent, for reverence is love.
When I'm reverent, it shows in my words and my deeds.
The pathway to follow is clear.
And when I am reverent, I know in my heart,
Heavenly Father and Jesus are near.

Link: http://gerry.ws/2009/02/1151/better-ubuntu-linux-bluetooth-management-with-blueman.html
Texto do link acima:
I found (courtesy of Bigbrovar's post, thanks) a piece of software called Blueman that provides better bluetooth management under Ubuntu Intrepid (it's also available for other Ubuntu versions). It basicall replaces the current bluetooth manager under Intrepid.
What's cool about blueman is that in addition to better bluetooth management under Ubuntu, it is also able to manage wireless broadband (GPRS/EDGE/3G) connections hand in hand with Ubuntu's Network Manager. I've tried it on my Motorola RAZR mobile phone and it is able to setup HAL so that I can easily connect / disconnect to the Internet using Network Manager.
The last time I tried if my cell phone is supported by the Network Manager, I had to use the mobile phone's cable to be able to connect to the Internet. If I wanted to connect to the Internet via bluetooth on my cell phone, I had to setup ppp manually. With Blueman, it's done automatically for you. Great!
One thing though, it seems that when I connect to the Internet via bluetooth I only get a GPRS connection instead of HSDPA (which is what I get using a cable setup on the cell phone) but this might be probably more of a tethering feature of the limitation of the cell phone. Would be nice if HSDPA is also available via bluetooth. Any ideas?
Other features of the Blueman bluetooth manager software include:
You can setup blueman via launchpad by adding the following line to your aptitude software sources:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
And then install blueman using the following command from a terminal session:
sudo apt-get install blueman

Nevertheless, there are several residences for rent offering best safety alternatives at the affordable rental, luxury, convenience, peace, outstanding design, extraordinary exterior and interior, sophisticated features, modern features, valet parking. Henryhallnyc is the first of its brand, a city, and a destination, like the boutique hotel you never want to drop or the organization where everyone's welcome.
Pest control, parking, Wifi, Satellite TV, swimming pool, recreation facilities, market store, junk removal, standard building maintenance, environmental maintenance, etc are presented without building issue for all factors that are such by home. Produce frequent companies to be ensured by some vital plans or none of the resident must create any phone. All the companies are plan without supplying any irritation towards the home according to the diary
Such rental apartments accommodate on-call basis services as well, for that, the homeowner has to call just the selected services, and the provision will reach on time. Responsibility and quality services are supported by the support option provided by the owners.
The exterior is made so beautiful it allures every homeowner to feel proud to be its owner. Interior are well furnished with covers and curtains that offer luxurious style and view to the resident.

The homes have created applying all quality elements that offer great endurance for lives. Purchasing own home will need plenty of money as well big pain to have the building long-lasting. Hiring various services and trading with merchants always provides issues and arguments. Moreover, the loss of money raises the issues when the resident looks for affordable options to keep the monthly budget in limits.

Community groups to be hit by barracks closure
Women's Refuge Cuan Saor is one of the many community, charity and voluntary groups in Clonmel that will greatly miss the soldiers of Kickham Barracks.
The barracks has been an integral part of the community in Clonmel opening its gates to the community for events such as the family fun day as part of SS Peter & Pauls Parish Bicentenary last year and Defence Forces open day the year before.
Kickham Barracks soldiers were on hand to help people of the town in difficulty in the long stretch of snow and icy weather last winter and during the floods that engulfed parts of the town.
And behind the scenes, soldiers have also fundraised and provided practical assistance to a long list of local community groups and charities, including Cuan Saor, which runs a refuse for women and their children fleeing domestic violence and a 24 hour help line for domestic violence victims.
Cuan Saor's Co-ordinator Geraldine Mullane said they were very saddened that Kickham Barracks was to close and she feels the loss of the barracks will have a huge impact on the town's community life.
"We are funded by the HSE and local authority but there is always a shortfall and over the past five years if not longer some of the personnel at the barracks held table quizzes there and donated the proceeds to us. Sometimes we organised quizzes ourselves and the soldiers would have come along and helped us.
"We also regularly had functions in the Town Hall and coffee mornings. We borrowed the tableware and tables from the barracks and the soldiers brought them to us and took them away. It was a huge help to us. We could call on them for stuff like that."
Geraldine also recalled that during the very bad cold patches over the last two winters, some of their staff working on the 24 hour helpline were unable to get to work due to the icy road conditions but soldiers from the barracks came to the rescue transporting them to work and home again.
"We have never been flooded but came very close to it and again as an organisation it was nice to know that the army were there. I remember they dropped off sandbags to us.
"They have been really, really helpful to us. Nothing was ever a bother to the soldiers. Our staff who the soldiers brought to and from over Christmas just said they were so pleasant and nothing was a hassle for them."

*Update: Make sure to check out our full Falcon Northwest Tiki Review.
Have you ever felt that traditional Windows PCs are just a little too…common? If so, Falcon Northwest may have the antidote to mediocrity. The boutique manufacturer has taken the wraps off a new "micro-tower" PC, the Tiki, that's only four inches wide, thirteen inches tall and features a solid-granite base.
Yes, granite. Falcon Northwest figures that while tall, thin PCs are attractive they're too easy to tip over and often are laid on their side as a result. Adding a heavy granite base makes the Tiki much more difficult to unintentionally knock sideways. It also gives the computer a unique, luxurious look.
The Tiki comes with an array of high-end options including third-generation Core processors, Nvidia GeForce graphics and up to 4TB of storage. Cooling a small system with such powerful hardware isn't easy (and that goes double if it's to be reasonably quiet) so Falcon Northwest has made liquid cooling standard.
Obviously, this new computer is not intended to be a budget build. The least expensive configurations ship out at $1,900 and include an Intel Core i5 processor paired with an Nvidia GTX 560 Ti graphics card. High-end builds can be configured with a Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 graphics and multiple solid state hard drives. Falcon Northwest even offers a choice of black or blue mica granite, and can coat your Tiki in custom paint – if you pay for the privilege.
In a world of same-old-same-old PCs this new system is an interesting departure. We doubt that it'll become a runaway hit, but with so few luxury PCs on the market, Falcon Northwest's tiny tower of power could attract attention from consumers with plenty of money and an urge to spend it.
We have the Falcon Northwest Tiki in house for review, so look for a full write-up sometime next week.

Paula Boer started her lifelong love of horses when she first rode a pony on a ranch in Canada, aged 7. On moving to England at age 9, she commenced weekly riding lessons and became hooked. Her horse infatuation led to Paula's bedroom being filled with toy stables, posters of golden stallions, horse gear and, of course, horse books. Her books included non-fiction works as well as novels, most notably Elyne Mitchell's The Silver Brumby series.
Paula's own writing career started at school where she wrote a story from the horse's perspective for her final English exam. Combining her love of horses with her passion for travel, she raced the native horses in Mongolia, climbed the heights of Colombia on horseback, and competed in Endurance rides around Australia. She claims the best way to experience a country is from the back of a horse.
Although not always on horseback, Paula has travelled in sixty countries on six continents. After retiring from the hectic life of computer consultancy, she wrote her first novel, The Okapi Promise, based on her adventures in Africa in 1990. This fictional memoir was published by IFWG Publishing in November 2010.
From her own experiences of catching and breaking in brumbies, Paula decided to set her next novel in the Snowy Mountains of Australia where she lives. The Brumbies series was created, with the first book of five becoming an Amazon 'Best Seller' in 2012. The final, Brumbies in the Mountains, was published in January 2015.
Order signed copies from the author here.
Paula is currently working on a fantasy trilogy set in a horse-dominated world, complete with unicorns and dragons.

I wanted to put more of a rose gold base under Hors D'Oeuvres, so I chose Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Style Steel. I think if I had only used one coat of the Essie it would have read as more rosy, but I couldn't resist using two coats because THIS GLITTER IS EVERYTHING. So it ended up looking more silver. But you can still see the rose base in the second to last picture! I wanted a pinkish base because I wanted to sort of try to make my nails complement a new watch that I got the day after Christmas, which looks like this:
Forgot to take my own picture of it (#lazy), but I'm sure you'll see it on me soon. This is actually my very first watch; I've never worn one before. Ben loves watches, and one day we were at Macy's poking around the watch case, and the rose gold ones caught my eye. In the end I chose this very small and simple rose gold Fossil with a blush face (for a drastically reduced price...TJ Maxx holla), and I've really been loving it.
In other news, Ben is sick. On Sunday he woke up with 102 degree fever, so I took him to the doctor. After an incredibly long wait in a room full of incredibly sick people (my paranoia was in full swing. my immune system seems to be tiny and sad), the doctor told him he "might" have the flu, did a test, and prescribed Tamiflu. I spent the day taking care of him, running around buying soup and filling prescriptions, etc. All day I felt like I was in a giant bubble of virus. I went to Panera to pick up some chicken noodle, and when I started to place my order the girl who worked there covered her mouth and yelled, "OH GOD I'M GONNA PUKE" and then literally ran away. Perhaps needless to say, I left Panera and went somewhere else. Gross. Poor girl. Much like the holidays last year, I've spent a lot of my time disinfecting and being really worried that I will also get sick. I probably will, but dammit, I'm rubbing everything down with isopropyl alcohol and Lysol anyway.
I know last year I did sort of a reflection post about 2012. I'm not going to do that for 2013. Mostly because I don't want to reflect on it too much. I lost one of the people who I truly loved in my life; I moved again; I'm trying to start over. I'm still looking for my path, but at least I'm settled. So that's all for reflections.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Year's Eve (I have no idea what I will be doing; we were invited to several parties, but depending on how we're both feeling...we might be in bed by 11 and watching Netflix while the ball drops). And this is not the last you'll be seeing of Essie Hors D'Oeuvres! Even though it chips immediately I'm planning on putting it right back on in some way. Get excited.
Talk to you in 2014!

Nickle,I don't have any more silver. I apparently sold more to people that hadn't signed up than I thought. My apologies. I still have black and white, if you want, and plenty of red.You can paypal me at ianacole<AT>qwest<DOT>net. I'll send them out as soon as I get the email alert.
The last white one is yours. I can if there is enough interest. I costs $74.25 to get ~100. If I do another run, I would probably 40 white, 40 silver, and 20 black. There just has not been the interest in the red.
Thanks for getting the stickers printed Ian. Now i just have to figure out where to place them... I was thinking about putting them on the bottom part of my side mirror housings... any suggestions?
Yeah but stickers add HP :lol:
Quote from: "copassatguy";p="43466"Yeah but stickers add HP :lol:and my cabinets needed some. they were factory rated at 0 so they can use all the help they can get. between the 2 cars, motorcycle, lawn tractor, and other power equipment in the garage I figure we are already at about 18 cylinders pushing out ~650 hp. the cabinets were feeling intimidated. they needed some sticker love and the HP boost.

Gambian politician Tina Faal has been released from the State Central Prison on Monday after being granted bail for a second time by a court in Banjul, sources close to the GDC party confirmed.
Faal was arrested at her home on August 8, and taken to the Mile 2 prison on the outskirts of the capital, Banjul after her bail was revoked through an executive order.
Faal's counsel Kombeh Gaye-Coker said the politician's rights were violated after she was rearrested and detained whiles no new charges were filed against her.
State prosecutor Sarja Sanyang has been warned by the court to proceed with the case after requesting an adjournment.
Members of the GDC party are expected to pay her a visit on Tuesday, party sources said.
Tina Faal was a former member of The Gambia's parliament nominated by President Jammeh. She cross-carpeted to the newly formed Gambia Democratic Congress after her daughter Geogina Gomez, an official at the Gambia's Embassy in London was entangled in a tobacco fraud scandal. President Jammeh waived their impunity giving way to the British government to prosecute her, landing her in prison for five years.
Faal said she felt betrayed by Mr Jammeh for not rewarding her loyalty and allowing her daughter to be sent to prison.
Faal was previously arrested in July and pleaded innocent to charges of conspiracy and theft for selling parts of an aircraft belonging to her former husband Foutanga Dit Babani Sissoko, a Malian business tycoon. She was later released on bail.

Amazing south american cuisine! I had the mango sauce chicken and it was just fabulous. A subtile mix of savors, cooked perfectly in their wood fire oven, amazing experience! Will certainly go back!
Co-owned by celebrated Chef Maricel Presilla, Cucharamama is an ode to traditional South American cuisine.

Singed Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Singed - The Mad Chemist
Hey guys, this is my first build and I will show you how I play Singed, The Mad Chemist.
So, I have never played him with a special build and always played him the way I liked him best.
90% of the Singeds out there play him as a pure tank what makes my build sort of revolutionary.
I do always annoy people with my play and experienced lots of QQ'ing kids.
To the Pros and Cons of this build. I really tried to find Contra Points but really did not find that many.
1. Heavy magic damage
2. Propably one of the most amazing farmer in game from early game on
3. Great survivability
4. Good escaping techniques
5. Crowd Control due to Mega Adhesive and Rylai's, which works great with his poison
1. Slight Mana problems in early game
2. They will QQ and focus on you
3. Bad Tower destroyer, except with Ult on. Quite unimportant point tho.
4. Not that effective in 1on1 with a highly Magic Resistance stacked enemy.
Just do not 1on1 with a highly Magic Resistance stacked enemy, lol.
Easy to recognize, we gain a ridiculous amount of Ability Power. If you haven't noticed yet, the 505 AP is not the maximum of this build.
Archangel's and Mejai's stacks are not counted in the graphic!!
Also, due to Rod of Ages and our glorious passive we gain lots of Hit Points which promise our great survivability, especially in the Late Game.
I go for a 9/0/21 build. The Magic peneration mastery is very important and the Mana regeneration in the Utility Tree even more. Since I do not play him as a Tank, we can forget the Defense Tree. But do never forget kids:
Even though this is not a Tank build, Singed has still got a great survivability potencial due to his health which is given by his passive and my item build!!!
For Runes I like:
9 x Greater Mark Of Insight as Reds
9 x Greater Seal Of Clarity as Yellows
9 x Greater Glyph Of Focus as Blues
3 x Greater Quintessence of Insight as Quints
"I though this was an AP build ???"
Very attentive. But, I find the Magic Penetration Marks and Quints as more effective than the bit of Ability Power. We have enough of that, lol.
So that is why I chose 'em like this. The Magic Penetration makes your enemies die a slow and agonizing death.
Mana Regeneration Seals are important. Very important. As you will see, Singed's mana consumption is ridiculously high and they will help you prevent getting out of mana.
Furthermore, I like Flat Cooldown Glyphs on this build. Your Fling has got quite a high cooldown and you will only in like 99% of your games get 20 Mejai's stacks which would be your only cooldown reduction without these Glyphs ;D ;D
Summoner Spells
I do prefer the Ignite and Ghost combo.
Ignite is my favourite spell at all. I used to rage when people were able to flee with like 20 HP but since I use Ignite, this is history.
Ghost is awesome. In combination with your Ultimate and propably a Speed buff in a 3on3 Speedy Gonzales can blow your ****.
You can easily chase enemies by activating Ghost, Insanity Potion and a well placed field of Puke ( Mega Adhesive ). Then you toss your opponent behind you and he will think like "Oh come on, what the heck is this -.-" - DevastatedBySinged has left the game.
In addition, you can easily escape your foes. Just place your W Ability behind you, activate all your movement increasing stuff and leave Poison Trail activated. If he chases you, he will be killed and you survive. If he doesn't, you survive.
Item Choice
Starter Items:
I go for a Meiki Pendant and a Heal Pot. You will need the Mana Regeneration in early game 'cause your Runes won't be effective in early game and Singed has got a very very high mana consumption as I said. Get the Tear of the Goddess as fast as you can to get mana which stacks up your passive and even more mana regeneration.
Nearly all of the Singeds out there go straight for Boots of Swiftness. Singed gains about 400 movement with these boots, but for this build we need something else.
AP, Magic Penetration.. Magic Penetration.. PING!! Sorcerer's Boots!!
But do not focus on them. If you fight an enemy team with lots of casters and Crowd Control better go for Mercury Treads. The Magic Res and 35% reduce stuff might be saving your *** sometimes.
Mejai's Soulstealer:
Some say "Do only get Mejai's Soulstealer if you are playing really good and if you have an epic score!!"
That's some **** imo. I promise, you will ALWAYS get stacks. Doesn't matter how many, but you will gain freakin stacks!! Even if it's only like 10 your AP will be increased by 80.00. And in the case having 20 Mejai's stacks it is 160.00 AP. AWZUM!?!
I tell you guys, you will never ever finish a game having less than 5 stacks. And if you are doing really really bad you can still sell the Soulstealer in late game and get some other item.
Rod of Ages
This is the Must-Have-Item for EVERY Singed build. Most of these Tank Singeds out there get even more than 1, but 1 Rod of Ages will be enough for us.
80 Ability Power, Lots of Mana which does also support our passive causing even more HP, and base HP. What do we want more??
Archangel's Staff
NOW we get an Archangel's Staff. Haha, I do always Lol when comparing my AP amount before and after having bought Archangel's Staff. Ridiculous increment by base AP and our mana which was stacked up by Tear of the Goddess.
Rylai's Scepter
Tons of HP, 80 base AP and a slow.But, this is not just any slow.. Everytime a foe touches your poison he will be slowed. And now imagine casting Mega Adhesive on an enemy..
75% slowed by ability + Rylai's ... WOOT!!
Zhonya's Ring
Your final item. Nothing to say. TONS of Ability Power. Bam, Pentakill and stuff.
Void Staff
As mentioned earlier, there is a exchange item if you are doing pretty pretty bad, not gaining any Soulstealer stacks.
In this case I do recommend buying a Void Staff. The AP and Magic Penetration do increase your damage a lot. But a well stacked Soulstealer beats this imo.
How To Play
Early Game:
Having bought a Meike Pendant and a Heal Pot you enter your lane. You should better not solo since you can be easily harassed in the very beginning. Get some Melee DPS who deals great damage even early in the game to aim for firstblood.
Spend your first Skill point into Fling. Fling deals great damage and an advised Fling can help your teammate getting your opponent very low. If you fall back you can try tossing your foe into your tower.. Devastating...
Do not forget to Ignite your foe while he's trying to get away with low HP!!
Before getting on Level 2 just stay behind your minions because except of auto attacking with low damage you can't achieve that much. From Level 2 on, having spent a point into Poison Trail, you can farm creeps pretty easily. Just run through the crowd and lasthit with auto attacks. The advantage of Singed's poison is that you get nearly all lasthits on creeps. Playing like this you can push further and further and without minions your enemy can only stay back and defend.
Well, you will pretty quickly have earned enough money to buy Tear of the Goddess and your Mana Regeneration should begin being enough.
Mid Game:
Do NOT go for Archangel's Staff yet !! I prefer getting it a little later because later we will have more mana stacks and we will have a great AP increment.
So, instead of this, we head for Mejai's and then Rod of Ages.
In Mid Game there are 3 things you could do at all:
1. Farming: Just stay in your lane and farm creeps. This won't be a problem.. Having maxed your Poison Trail Q Ability you just rush through the enemy minions and they will die. You do not even have to lasthit with an Autoattack anymore. Playing like this, your foe will not be able to push further which ends in a money rain for you and a boring defense play for your enemy.
2. Jungling: Monster Buffs work great on Singed!! The Lizard Buffs helps dealing damage and chasing your foes. The Blue Golem Buff will reduce your Fling cooldown, so you can use it more often. And ofcourse you won't have to watch your mana any longer.
Actually the Dragon Buff on Treeline is useless for your, but combined with your Ultimate you are able to devastate towers. His actual weakness becomes a great strength.
So, while jungling do not only aim at Monster Buffs, but do also take a look-around for the other monsters there. They are dead within 2 seconds and become easily earned gold.
3. Ganking: Start ganks with your teammates. You are very helpful for them, since you can CC them with Mega Adhesive and throw them into your teamcrowd with Fling. You gain more and more Soulstealer stacks, either for kills or for assists.
Thus, you gain stronger and stronger while your foes aren't even able to stack up Magic Res. Mejai's Ftw <3
End Game:
Continue your Mid Game play, concentrating less on jungling. Do only jungle the Monster Buffs which are still very important, of course. In your ganks you can either iniatiate a fight or rush in, after your Tank did so.
You will win all teamfights: You just have to push further in Lane and if they come too close to you, you pick an enemy, toss him into the crowd and watch him die.
Do not fear playing more aggressive and try to concentrate on Flings. With your abilities you can always escape and as I told you in the beginning of the guide. With your survivablity caused by the huge amount of HP you usually won't die.
Coordinate well with your team and victory won't be far.
Coming to an end it is still time for a small afterword.
So, this is the way I play Singed. I hope you enjoyed this guide and try him. I can tell you, I do prefer him in a 3on3. Ofcourse, I had lots of awesome games on Summoner's Rift, but I prefer his role on the Twisted Treeline.
There were too many games when I carried my team to a glorious victory, having no problems even in cases of a 1v3. But before I talk too much, just try it out on your own.
In addition, I would like to excuse possible obscurities concerning language and build structure, since this is my very first build.
If you do not agree with my guide, please do not only dislike, but tell me why :)
Also, suggestions for improvement concerning the way I wrote the build or the build itself are welcome.
Regards, Memory.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Government prosecutors failed to show that even $1 of the $2 million allegedly skimmed from the Stardust casino in Las Vegas wound up in the hands of reputed Chcago mob bosses Joseph Aiuppa and John Cerone, a defense lawyer said here Wednesday.
``The government wants you to believe the money went to them, but the evidence just isn`t there,`` Charles Shaffer, one of Cerone`s attorneys, told a U.S. District Court jury during closing arguments of a nearly four-month-long trial.

About 30 expatriate workers gathered outside the labor inspection department in Dajeej in an organized protest against their company-sponsored hostel conditions which they deemed unhealthy and unsuitable. According to workers, they were forced to squeeze into a two-bedroom apartment with only one bathroom. After a close examination of the complaints, department inspectors verified that the workers had a legitimate complaint and that the employer had violated the contract conditions.
Subsequently, the inspectors filed a report recommending the suspension of the employer's file under code 31. On their part, the company admitted their violations and having broken the law requested a grace period to provide better living accommodations to the workers.

|Low free testosterone
Jul 22, 2009
I have have been diagnosed with normal testosterone levels (430) but low free testosterone (9). I have all the symptoms of low t. One of mhy doctors says testosterone replacement will not help but another says it may help. Is there something that does help boost free testosterone?
Response from Dr. Young
Hi and thanks for your post.
The key number is the free testosterone, not the total levels. If your free testosterone level is low (as yours is), then you have hypogonadism (or low testosterone).
Replacement of testosterone to physiologic levels is a simple,once-daily topical gel. We typically use gel formulations-- Testim or Androgel.

The box was a clear solid pine piece that I picked up for $3.99 at a local thrift store. From the new condition and markings on the bottom it looks like it was a craft sale purchase that someone decided not to use. The before photo (and yesterday's dresser before) are misplaced so I will share how it looked before distressing.
I used acrylic craft paint and then distressed it, finishing with a paste wax. The knob came with it.
Right now it is in our basement kitchen with not the best lighting. I plan to use it in our family room to store usb and camera cords as soon as I find a larger computer table.

Going to re format my laptop
Alright well,
Some of you know I got a brand new laptop about 4 months ago. I am going to wipe the hard drive, and re-install windows. That only thing is that Acer didn't give me a install disk, but i do have a windows 7 home premium disk when my dad got his computer, but i was wondering if the product key on the bottom of my laptop will work so i can install windows and start fresh.
plus this way will allow me to not have to deal with Acers default programs.

I highly recommend that you perform a Factory Restore instead of a Clean Install due to the potential loss of default drivers (as a for instance, on my system I could not replace a few as they are Acer's and their drivers site doesn't have it all). It is essentially the same thing as a "Clean Install" (the HDD gets reformatted), it just doesn't result in the total loss of Drivers or other media that are also preserved on the hidden backup partition.
As for Acer's "bloatware", you can merely uninstall all of that and disable other settings. That's the best method with OEM systems IMHO.
Here's how to do it without wasting many ISO disks: https://www.sevenforums.com/890428-post22.html
Either way, up to you... I myself prefer the Factory Restore because there's no hassles other than reinstalling my programs and getting rid of the bloatware, as opposed to hunting down Drivers and praying they're the right ones in addition to all the other crap involved with system restoration.

hi there :)
on the laptop in the programs is there not a program from acer to make a rescue disc or system disc of some kind? check there website out for advice http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/home what model is the laptop?

Well Acer has a program built in that it gives me the option to back up applications, and drivers. So could i just make a disk back up of these, and just re-install windows then just use the the windows install disk and then just install the drivers with that disk?

It can't hurt to make backups of anything and everything, but anytime I get my hands on an OEM system, whether it be for business (I use my own image) or personal, such as family and friends, the OEM install gets blown away, and I do a clean install from a plain vanilla disc, or flash drive, in this case. Your key on the laptop will work just fine, and drivers are usually pretty easy to get, either from the laptop manufacturer, or the hardware manufacturer...such as Intel.

Hello mate, here's some interesting info you may find useful and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
After you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media; if you can find an exact Windows version that the PC shipped with you can do a clean install using the activation key on the COA sticker attached to the PC though it may require a robo-call to MS to sort the OEM batch-key.
How to Activate Windows 7 by Phone
If you can't find an exact same version, you could use the info in this tutorial to create an "all Versions" installer of any version Windows installer, to install using the same method I posted above.
Windows 7 Universal Installation Disc - Create
After you have made backups of everything you care to save, the best method is to do a complete wipe (secure erase) of the entire Hard Disk Drive first, it over-writes everything, all the old Windows code including all the old drivers/programs, giving you the best possible space to install Windows to.

How to get a purrfect factory OEM clean reinstall: re-install windows 7

If you have any "special" Acer features on your laptop, you will get a driver problem going with another installation disk. Those can be fixed, but it may be a pain.
Example: I have a HD screen on my Sony laptop. I wanted to "improve" the driver only to end up with a generic driver that made my screen so dark that I could not id anything on the screen anymore. Fortunately I had an image from the previous day to where I could go back.
Another example: I have a backlit keyboard. The settings for it are in "Sony only" registry keys. If I used another system disk, the backlit keyboard would not work.

Again, up to you and it IS possible to create a Drivers/Apps disk to restore those with through eRecovery, but again, I advise against the Clean Install and think that you would be better served giving the Factory Restore a chance first.
If your system is a "touch-screen", be prepared to lose Acer's touch-pack if you opt for the Clean Install anyway. You cannot back the programs up and you cannot get them over the internet or on Acer's Downloads page either, that's another reason why I don't do Clean Installs on OEM systems with uncommon or unique features, especially if the manufacturer does NOT host all necessary files on their site to restore them. Just FYI.

'Dust and Snow' by Joseph Tonelli - tranquillity born out of experience(March 17, 2016)
Just finished listening to Joseph Tonelli's new album, 'Dust and Snow', due for release in June 2016, and its minimalistic, laid-back textured Americana folk had me totally captivated. There's an impression of a man observing, pondering and then commenting. Every word, every note absorbed and considered before they're set free through the songs. There's precisely the right amount of instrumentation to provide the foundation with equally reserved and carefully placed guitar and violin breaks. One listen to the title track, the sharp reality of 'Dust and Snow' of and the revealing 'My Situation' and you'll instantly understand those comments.
Without doubt the lyrics drive the songs, emphasising Tonelli's poetic construction, add a haunting guitar-picking style and the quietly intense vocals to give you the measure of this album. There's a certain openness within 'Dust and Snow' that exposes much of the artist, and yet you always have the feeling that something remains hidden within its simplicity. These are untapped depths perhaps or maybe just the artist leaving you wanting more, as with songs like the longing within 'Sunken Ships' or the sorrowful examination of memories in 'Sometimes' and the truths laid bare in 'Beautiful'.
Expect to encounter a tranquillity born out of experience and be prepared to join Tonelli on the journey - let 'Dust and Snow' take you there. Website: josephtonelli.com

Remi, Nobody's Girl (家なき子レミ Ie Naki Ko Remi, Homeless Child Remi) was a 26-episode Japanese anime television series by Nippon Animation, broadcast 1996 to 1997 across Japan on the Fuji Television network as an installment to Nippon Animation's famed World Masterpiece Theater series. The show was directed by Kusaba Kouzo and screenplay adapted by Man Shimada, with character designs by Ooshiro Katsu.
The story is adapted from Sans Famille, an 1878 French novel, written by Hector Malot (adapted previously to anime in 1977's Nobody's Boy: Remi); this version made major changes from the book, including changing the gender of the main character and the "Swan" chapter, along with many other main events.
It started airing on September 1, 1996; the show was canceled by Fuji TV on account of low ratings; it ended March 23, 1997 with a low count of 23 episodes. The complete series, all 26 episodes, was later aired by the anime satellite television network, Animax, who translated and dubbed the series into English for broadcast across its English-language networks in Southeast Asia and South Asia, under the title Remi, Nobody's Girl, as well as other languages including Arabic in the Middle East where it was a success and famous.
In the Philippines, it was aired in 1999 on ABS-CBN. Also Knowned for its tagalog version of a song entitled Aking Ina.
