Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Hello after some time. Zia and Dave; well guys after exhausting all options i took it ot the vendor's warranty guys (local warranty) and they took two days and finally fixed it.
I asked the tech guy what was it and he said it was a virus that was not getting detected and then he said he mounted the Hd as a slave and then was able to remove the virus. So my laptop got fixed. However, now there is another thing bothering me. Nothing wrong with the laptop software or hardware- machine is fully restored.
the thing is I did not know of this hidden partition thing that acer uses never knew that. So I lost my genuine windows in the process but he said he recovered my genuine windows from the hidden partition and asked me to make recovery disks ASAP. Now when I try that through acer erecovery management it wont work and says hd configuration is not set to factory defualts. backup aborted.
I searched for this and people say that my PQservice partition has been over-written and the MBR file has hence been curropted. I tried to factory restore the laptop through alt-f10 but it wont work either... any fix for that please???
I dont want to loose my genuine windows and if something again happens I want to be able to restore my kaptop to factory settings but I cant make backup recovery acer disks as the process wont run unless HD is back to factory default configuration.... I also has partitioned the drive in past and then had repartitioned and merged two partitions etc... I think this and then installing windows etc might have messed up this pqservice or mbr whatever it is.....
Help needed again guys!!!

Hi Intel,
Glad you got it sorted in ther end.
But sounds like they didnt do a good job if your left with the issues you describe, sounds as if

My advice would be to take it back to the vendor and let them sort it out.
But please post the following info:

Bob Hoskins, Star of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Long Good Friday, Dead at 71
2012's <i>Snow White and the Huntsman</i> was Hoskins last film before he retired.
Last night, Bob Hoskins died from pneumonia. Born Robert William Hoskins Jr. in 1942 to a nursery-school teacher and a truck driver in West Suffolk, England, Hoskins went on to a varied, wonderful, 40-plus-year acting career. Starting in 1969, Hoskins didn't break through until his performances in the 1978 BBC musical drama Pennies From Heaven and the 1980 British gangster movie The Long Good Friday. His career included notable roles in Brazil, Mona Lisa (for which he won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe, and was nominated for an Oscar), Mermaids, Super Mario Bros, Hook, and, of course, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. On his ability to consistently find work, Hoskins once told an interviewer, "Most dictators were short, fat, middle-aged, and hairless. Besides Danny DeVito, there's only me to play them."
2012's Snow White and the Huntsman was Hoskins's last film before he retired after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Through it all, he truly loved being an actor, once calling it "the best job in the world." He explained: "Look at the way they treat you when you turn up for work. They give you breakfast and a cup of tea and ask 'are you all right?' They tart up your face, you say someone else's words, then pick up your check and go home. And you get days off. I tell you, it really is the way to live." He was 71.

Textbooks often struggle to portray the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Japanese cities in 1945 in a balanced way. Some focus on the cost to American lives of an invasion; others the suffering of Japanese civilians in the wake of the blast. Giving limits of space, textbooks can often only summarize important points of what was a multifaceted debate. [...] »
Historians note a great deal of debate surrounding the decision to use the bombs in 1945. Typically, conflict has arisen over the justification for the use of the bombs and about the moral ramifications of the decision. This is a debate that reached the top levels of U.S. policy making and that continued for decades afterwards. [...] »
As a pivotal event in the history of both World War II and the Cold War, the decision to use atomic weapons generated substantial discussion, deliberation, and debate (some of it highly classified). The documents created by military leaders, politicians, and government agencies during the course of their exchanges tell a rich, complex, and difficult story. [...] »
Textbooks struggle with the portrayal of the American decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japanese cities in August 1945. Because the subject is both extraordinarily complex and sometimes controversial, textbooks have struck a number of compromises in an attempt to present the story accurately and fairly. Most recently, those compromises involve presenting voices from a variety of perspectives with limited interpretation.

Korean Air VP resigns after throwing a fit over macadamia nuts
Don't bag the nuts in first class! On a recent flight out of John F. Kennedy airport in New York, Korean Air Lines vice president Cho Hyun Ah was served a bag of macadamia nuts in first class by a junior flight attendant. Cho, who is the daughter of the airline's chairman and is in charge of in-flight experience, already knew beforehand that macadamia nuts were supposed to be served on a plate. She requested the head attendant retrieve the flight manual; when he didn't, she shouted at him and demanded the plane return to the gate and ordered him off the plane.
The whole ordeal began trending online today. Korean Air had to issue an apology to passengers for the 20-minute delay for take off and 11 minutes for arrival time. Following the ordeal, Cho resigned from her job.
According to Korea Times, she didn't have any right to order the plane to return to the gate because she was a passenger not on duty. She may have violated aviation laws.
A full investigation is underway regarding the rules and regulations. An official from the Ministry of Transportation stated the following: "If the investigation finds any violations, the necessary action will be taken against the air carrier. Even if she is the vice-president of the airline, she was one of [many] passengers and should have been treated as such."
Watch Seo In Guk and Shin Sung Rok use face reading to place a rightful king on the throne in The King's Face:
Do you think a simple nut mishap is important enough to stop a plane and quit your job over?

Although the plot seems contrived at times, I have to say that the different characters are what really kept me playing this game. The game never takes itself too seriously, and it pays no regard to the fourth wall whatsoever. There is plenty of humor to be had here, and although the game tries really hard to create deep, emotional moments, the real value with the storyline had to come from the more comedic elements of this title.
However, the games comedy could not be as effective without a voiceover, and I was really surprised at the high quality of it. The last few Atlus-published games that I have played have had little to no voiceover, and I was fully expecting this title to be another dud in this department. However, I was quite surprised when the voiceover was not only very present, but rather good as well. Only the main characters (and villains) are voiced, but the lines are delivered with unexpected emotional depth, and I found myself really looking forward to turning up the sound during plot scenes.
As far as visuals go, Crimson Gem Saga is also surprisingly good. The game has a very stylized look to it, and uses cel-shading as well as some watercolor elements to bring the rich world of the game to life. There were plenty of bright colors, and the animations were very fluid. I was also very impressed with the amount of detail given to the characters. The game uses little sprite-like character representations, but instead of looking like a blurry mess of pixels, it looks polished and very detailed. The different environments also look very good and vary from barren desert settings to lush, green meadow areas.
Crimson Gem Saga is not a game for everyone. It can best be described as a niche title, designed for those who appreciate a good old, classic-feeling RPG experience. If you like fast-paced, action-intensive RPGs, then you should steer clear of Crimson Gem Saga. If you do like the older format, however, this title really is a gem, and it shouldnt be missed!

Bush blinked
The bailout failed in Congress due to principled objections, offering the prospect of drawing a line for the nonstop series of bailouts.
However, the Bush administration decided to use its own discretion. In other words, as veteran (and prescient) auto industry report Paul Ingrassia noted this morning: "Bush Blinks on the Auto Bailout"
You have to hand it to Ron Gettelfinger, president of the United Auto Workers union, and his colleagues. Negotiating for a living is, you know, what they do. And they're good, very good. They know when somebody's about to blink.This is consistent with the Bush kick-the-can economic philosophy of the past 4-5 years. While he articulated some free market principles in his initial campaign, our 9-11 president spent the rest of his term making short-term economic choices rather than spending any political capital on a long-term fix.
So it was last Thursday night that Mr. Gettelfinger rejected the deal offered by Senate Republicans for interim bailout money to keep General Motors and Chrysler alive for a few more months. The UAW chief was betting that the Bush administration would blink, and that the union would get a better deal from the politicians than it would get from the marketplace or from a bankruptcy judge. It's a ploy we all learned in childhood. When dad won't give you what you want, turn to mom.
Mr. Gettelfinger was right, of course. By the next day the Bush team was rapidly reversing course and declaring its willingness to use TARP money -- from the $700 billion designated to bail out financial firms -- to keep the Detroit companies going without the concessions sought by the Senate GOP.

[Trigger warning: rape]
Why is gaslighting – even the minor kind – such a powerful trigger?
I didn't know there was a word for gaslighting until recently. I'm so relieved that there is. You know when I am upset, or triggered, or insulted, or angry about something, and you tell me I've misunderstood it? That my feelings are wrong, that my experience is wrong? Yeah, that makes me pretty mad. Continue reading An open letter to gaslighters on triggers, trauma, and women's anger

It started in Drama. Ironic, right? I'm sitting there in my assessment group of 5, when Ruby says 'You two should go out'. She was talking about Jackson and I. We glance at each other, and I know this will change the perspective the group has on me.
'Thanks, but no thanks. I have morals and standards.'
Ruby, Jane and Adam all give an 'oooh' and 'ouch'.
I'm wincing as well. I had walked half the way to drama with Jackson, and I thought he was nice - as a friend. We've talked a few times, because we take 4 of our 6 subjects in the same class.
There's a heart beat of silence, then Adam asks 'standards?'
I look at them all in the eye. 'I will only date a Christian boy, and I don't shop around. It's nothing personal, Jackson.'
Another small silence. Inside, my stomach flips. What have I done?
'Why would you only date a Christian?' Ruby's frowning.
'Because I'm a Christian.' Another silence.
'Cool.' Adam.
'So you believe in God?' Jane.
'So do you like, live in a barn and milk a cow? Do you dress in matching clothes?'
I laugh, and hide my shaking hands.
A barrage of questions follow. What do we think of gays? Do we hate them? What are my parents like? Can Blacks be Christian? What is a Jew? Satan was a snake right? Have you ever been kissed? Are Christians perfect? How come I don't go to a Christian school? What is a Christian? Are Catholics and Christians the same? What do we eat? Have I ever been to a party? Do I drink alcohol? Will I be a virgin when I get married? Why is Mary called the Virgin Mary? Do I believe in the new or old Bible? Is your sister a Christian? Did you do sex-ed? Have I done drugs? Does God answer your prayers? Do we look down on people who smoke? How did Jesus get inside Mary then? How can I believe in something I have never seen?
The questions went on for the entire lesson - we got about 5 minutes of work done. The conversation was littered with comments like:
'You'll never find a boy who will match to your standards.' Ruby.
'If God wants me to get married, he'll supply the right guy.' Me.
'You go girl. You wait for the boy who is worth it.' Jane.
'I think your wise.' Adam.
'Not really.' Me.
'You're kind of normal though.' Ruby.
'Um, thanks?' Me.
'Your parents sound cool.' Jane.
'Ok...' Me.
'Baptising is like when they drown you, right?' Adam.
'Ummmmm.' Me.
'Did God rape Mary?' Adam.
*Oh boy* Me.
'I'm glad its not personal then.' Jackson.
'Sorry.' Me.
'Do all Christians think they are perfect?' Adam
'No. We have many faults, like anyone else. I have to many to count.'
They all stare at me.
'So are you like really smart then?' Jane.
'No. I'm average.' Me.
'So what do you do all day then?' Jane.
'...' Me.
'Well, you're the happiest single person I have ever met.' Ruby.
'Thank you! I'm very happy.' Me.
Another second of stunned silence.
I was on a buzz for the rest of the day - I still am. I found the conversation hilarious, but wonderful at the same time. I was so glad to share what I thought, and fix what they thought about Christians, but at the same time how them that Christians are not perfect, in fact, we are just like them!
It would have to be my best hour ever at school - and I wouldn't go back and change it for anything.
The weirdest part was, Jane sat down with me for a few minutes at lunch with a question, and when she left, Ruby and her friend came over and hung out. Poor Jackson disappeared.
I don't blame him - I feel really bad about the whole thing. His face when I said 'I have morals and standards.'...
I feel like I have withstood my first test of faith at school. I welcome anymore heading my way! I think it's very important to question others standards, and discuss your own.
My dad reckons that if you firmly hold to your standards, then boys will try to rise to them.
My only problem with the whole conversation is that I don't want them to go away thinking I won't date any boy - therefore making me a challenge.
*I changed my classmates names for the story*

Affection: Pages 31-44 Summary and Analysis
Lewis says he considers affection to be the most basic of loves because it is not all that different from what animals display. He does make the point that it's no less valuable than other types of love. The image that best describes that emotion is a mother nursing her young, whether it's a human mother or an animal. This is an example of how the various loves evolve and overlap. The mother offers gift love when she gives birth to the child, suckle it, and provides protection. But she is also exhibiting need love because she literally must give birth or die, and must allow the baby to suckle or she's in pain. That's not to say affection begins and ends with mothers and children. In fact, Lewis says, affection can actually be felt between people...

Apple will become the top-ranked smartphone vendor in terms of shipment volume for the first time in 2011, overtaking Nokia.
That's the verdict of a Digitimes Research report, which estimates Apple will ship some 86.4 million iPhones in 2011.
Total global smartphone shipments will reach 462 million, a 60 percent increase on the 288 million units shipped in 2010.
Nokia will slip to second place with its 2011 shipments declining to 74.4 million units from over 100 million in 2010. Samsung takes third place with the highest shipment growth among the top five brands in 2011, climbing 44 percent to 67 million units.
But it is Huawei which is the real rising star, Digitimes said, with an increase of more than 400 percent in total shipments from 2010.
"Combined shipments from the world's top five smartphone companies in 2011 are forecast to exceed 333 million units, which will account for 72 percent of total units expected to be shipped. The proportion came to as high as 85 percent in 2010, when the top five vendors shipped a total of 244 million units," the report said.

Authorities have identified everyone in the video, and police tell PIX11 the incident in fact did begin as a frenzy over candy being shared. During that frenzy the 12-year-old sister of the girl in the black coat made contact with another girl – at some point afterwards her crew and the victim crossed paths at this library just steps from Edgar Allan Poe park in the Bronx.
A 17-year-old instigated the fight saying let's settle this outside and they went to the park. Police say the voice heard in this video is that of the 17-year-old.
Once in the park, the 12-year-old girl's punishment was to have to watch them beat her sister who was threatened by the other teenagers with a beat down if she interfered.
Police say at least one person, possibly two, will be arrested in connection to the fight.

A Few Minutes With…. with a regular feature at the Essex Digital Awards when we discuss a hot topic from the digital world with an expert or influential big wig from around the county.
We recently caught up with David Wilde, an EDA 2015 judge and the Director of Information Services at Essex County Council to get his thoughts on how they use social media at the local authority.
Could you describe your organisation's activity on social networks?
We're very active on Twitter, it's great for alerts on services. Facebook is great for keeping in touch with some of the people we support and LinkedIn really good for engaging with businesses across Essex. ECC also has its own YouTube channel and is increasingly using videos to share information with people in Essex alongside using it extensively for internal training and communications. We also do a lot on collaboration sites and colleagues in Libraries, Visit Essex and Essex Records Office are active with our residents across social media.
On big projects social media offers a smart and easy way of linking up with external partners and organisations to work together. Superfast Essex is a good example of a countywide project doing just that. It's building up presence across all these social media channels to reach both residents and businesses and gaining support from other local authorities, the Government, and our commercial partners, BT and Openreach, through a simple retweet, or Facebook tag.
- The first ECC social media account was set up in December 2008 – the corporate Twitter account (@Essex_CC). There are now 28 active Twitter accounts. (Superfast Essex (@SuperfastEssex) was set up only last year.)
- The current active ECC social media accounts have:
- Over 2,065 Facebook likes
- 80,700 Twitter followers
- The most popular tweet in 2014 was "#tweetyourfeet" for the Domestic Abuse campaign
Are there elements of your organisation now that would not have been possible without social media?
It isn't about social media doing something totally new, but it is about being able to connect much more easily, quickly and informally with residents, visitors to Essex and businesses. I think we have only scratched the surface though, the more we get into collaboration with communities the more exciting social media will get.
How has your relationship with your customers/clients changed with the dawn of social media?
Hugely. Response times are much quicker, people will not wait a week for an answer and why should they? Also, two way engagement can be much more effective. The darker side however is the speed with which misinformation can be spread and of course safeguarding our vulnerable residents is tougher in this environment.
Which social media campaigns or accounts have really caught your eye recently?
The Orange and O2 flash mobs were great and a lot of the netmums stuff is really good.
What have you found to be the most positive and negative aspects of using social media for your business?
Most positive has to be better engagement, most negative is misinformation.
What advice would you give to businesses or other organisations looking to improve their social media activity?
Be really clear who your target audiences are, pick the right media to reach them, don't overdo it and humour only works in some contexts so be careful!!

UK developer ustwo have been responsible for creating some of our favorite Android games. They created the Dot series of games, all of which have been the early reasons for our addiction to gaming on Android. They've also made extremely popular iOS games such as Whale Trail, which will be making its way to Android shortly.
Ustwo announced this morning that they've partnered with Sony to be the first developer to offer multiplayer gaming on the Google TV platform. Folks who own a Sony-branded Google TV can download Dot TV, a remaking of their first Android game configured to support multiplayer gameplay.
Dot TV is a challenging, yet simplistic game that provides fun and addictive gameplay. You control the white ball, and need to eat blue balls (food) to survive while avoiding pink pyramids (death). The longer you stay alive, the more points you get, and the goal of the game is to collect as many points as possible. You control your Dot using either the Sony TV remote or any Android phone by syncing your phone to the TV.
We think the ability to use your Android device to play multiplayer games on your TV is an awesome concept, and we look forward to trying this out for ourselves. Perhaps we can get Sony to allow us to demo this at their booth this week at CES.
If you own a Sony Google TV device, you can download the free game using the market link at the end of this post. In the meantime, check out this promotional video by the folks over at ustwo.

History of the Universe eBook. 398 pages, 300 illustrations only $2.99
AUDEFROI LE BATARD, French trouvère, flourished at the end of the 12th century and was born at Arras. Of his life nothing is known. The seigneur de Nesles, to whom some of his songs are addressed, is probably the châtelain of Bruges who joined the crusade of 1200. Audefroi was the author of at least five lyric romances: Argentine, Belle Idoine, Belle Isabeau, Belle Emmelos and Béatrix. These romances follow older chansons in subject, but the smoothness of the verse and beauty of detail hardly compensate for the spontaneity of the shorter form.
See A. Jeanroy, Les Origines de la poésie lyrique en France au moyen âge (Paris, 1889).

If you're reading this give yourself a pat on the back... You made it to Friday! I don't know about y'all but, it's been bit of a long week for me & I'm glad that it's Friday && in a few short hours, the weekend will start!
As you probably know, Tuesday wasn't only Valentine's Day but, it was also mine & Matt's 3 year anniversary! I was really looking forward to our date night as we haven't been on a true date in a while.
Once we were home from work & freshened up to leave for dinner, we exchanged gifts. Well, I got my gift from Matt. You see, I thought I had ordered Matt's gift in plenty of time. No, I didn't! It came in on the 15th & then after forgetting it at work he finally received his gift on the 16th!
While Matt had a funny Valentine's card & sweet/sappy anniversary cards to open this is what my love gave to me...
I received these at work & they smell wonderful!
Pat Green's Dance Halls & Dreamers book! I've wanted this book for quite a while but, never would buy it for myself. It's a fun book about Texas Country artist & the fun dance halls in the state of Texas! My plan is to take motorcycle rides & visit all of them!
Family picture! :) Please excuse our child's mess!
We went to dinner & enjoyed delicious Mexican food at Joe T Garcia's
& amazing Sangria Margaritas!
I finally remembered to bring Matt's gift home on Thursday & I was excited for him to open it!
& this is how excited he was once he figured out what it was...
Let me just say that this face is NOT the face of him excited to pull The Man Can out of the bag!
I found this gift idea from Giuliana Rancic's Fab Fit Fun website & fell in love with it!
Needless to say, I will be returning this gift... yes, I said RETURNING this gift & getting him something else.
I absolutely love my gifts but, I can't believe that after 3 years of being together I could buy a gift that was SO off for Matt! I should have known because he's not much of a foo foo guy. As he explained, he uses 2 in 1 Shampoo/Conditioner & bar soap... doesn't get much more basic then that! Geez! Maybe next year I can redeem myself!
I hope y'all have a great weekend! I'm hoping to get some DiY projects done if the weather will cooperate! We'll see!

Seattle Against Slavery is a grassroots coalition working to mobilize our community in the fight against sex and labor trafficking. Driven by the belief that the rights and dignity of every person should be respected, we build partnerships that unite passionate volunteers and advocates with local and national non-governmental organizations and government agencies.
Together with our partners, we work to address the root causes of sex and labor trafficking, while also advocating for the rights of survivors. SAS seeks to raise awareness and create comprehensive solutions to prevent human trafficking, better advocate for victims, enhance survivor care, and build capacity for direct service providers.
Seattle Against Slavery mobilizes our community in the fight against labor and sex trafficking through education, advocacy and collaboration with local and national partners.
Seattle Against Slavery envisions a community where no one is exploited for labor or sex.
Our History
On June 4, 2009 in the wake of the first annual UNBOUND Conference, a meeting of 42 anti-trafficking activists was hosted by The Freedom Initiative's Kelly Hogan and International Justice Mission (IJM) volunteer Alex Sum. Informed by local service providers and trafficking survivors, the vision for Seattle Against Slavery was born. SAS grew from a group of passionate individuals to a volunteer-led organization, and in 2012, hired its first professional staff.
Since 2009, Seattle Against Slavery has become a statewide leader in supporting laws to help trafficking survivors, raising community awareness about the existence of local trafficking, and training those in key positions to identify and report possible trafficking situations. Through continued partnerships at the state, county, and local level, SAS has become a catalyst for change in the fight to end human trafficking in Washington.

"The Bush administration sends mixed messages," Clinton said during the Democratic debate in Las Vegas. "They want to recruit and retain these young people to serve our country and then they have the Pentagon trying to take away the signing bonuses when a soldier gets wounded and ends up in the hospital, something that I'm working with a Republican senator to try to make sure never can happen again."
The Army suggests this issue may all be a tempest in a political teapot, that it simply made a clerical error in asking a wounded vet to return a portion of his signing bonus. But there's another issue, one that may be a bit more legitimate: whether wounded soldiers ought to be guaranteed future installments of enlistment bonuses, bonuses pegged to future years of service they were not able to complete.
In 2007, nearly 39,000 army recruits received an average of $16,500 in enlistment bonuses, according to Maj. Nathan M. Banks Sr. of the Department of the Army Public Affairs.
The issue Clinton addresses was first raised in July 2007 by the bipartisan Dole-Shalala Commission, when, in the course of work with veterans and their families, they noticed that "service members' remaining enlistment bonuses were not being paid when they were injured and medically retired or separated from active duty." The Defense Department assured the problem was fixed.
In October 2007, Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa., introduced the Veterans Guaranteed Bonus Act to formally ensure that wounded veterans are paid the entirety of any signing bonus they were promised within 30 days after discharge for combat-related wounds.
A Senate version of the bill was introduced by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., in November 2007. The Senate bill has 18 co-sponsors, including Clinton.
The issue gathered steam that month when a Pittsburgh television station reported the story of Jordan Fox, an army private who was partially blinded in one eye from the explosion of a roadside bomb in Iraq. After Fox returned home with a medical discharge, he got a letter from the Army asking him to repay $2,800 of a $7,500 enlistment bonus.
While Fox was held up by many politicians as Exhibit A in the case for the new legislation, his case also may have muddied the waters.
The Army says it simply made an "error in pay processing."
Defense Department policy is clear: Bonuses already paid should not be recouped if "injury or illness of the service member was not the result of the service member's misconduct."
The Army contends Fox's was an isolated case. In fact, when it set up a hotline for pay problems, it received just two calls on that issue.
So are we talking about legislation to fix a problem that may have affected just three people? As it relates to wounded soldiers having to return portions of paid bonuses, perhaps. And certainly a lot of politicians made a lot of political hay about that.
But that's different than unpaid, future installments of bonuses. Say a soldier who got a $10,000 up-front bonus, and was promised an additional $5,000 at the end of each of three years of completed duty. If he was injured and medically discharged in his first year of service, would he get the final two years of unpaid bonuses?
Defense Department policy there is less clear. The secretary of the Military Department may decide to pay the soldier unpaid installments if he or she determines that not paying would be "against equity and good conscience, or contrary to the best interests of the United States."
The legislation Clinton co-sponsored would require the military to pay all future installments upon medical discharge.
No one knows, still, how many wounded veterans this may affect. The Congressional Budget Office informally told congressional staffs that the proposed legislation — to include unpaid installments — might cost about $1-million a year. That may seem like a lot of money, but considering the number of wounded vets, it doesn't suggest they think this is a widespread, institutional problem. The Senate bill seeks an accounting by the military to find out.
So while Clinton highlights a legitimate issue — paying future installments of enlistment bonuses even after wounded veterans have been discharged — her wording is somewhat misleading, suggesting wounded veterans are being forced to return bonus money. There is little evidence to suggest that happened to more than a couple veterans, and the Army admitted its mistake.
Also misleading is her suggestion that there was some kind of Bush administration effort to deny future bonus payments promised to wounded vets.
But she may be right that some were denied future bonus payments (although it is far from clear that this is still happening), and the legislation co-sponsored by Clinton would make it crystal clear they are to be paid. And so we rate her statement Half True.

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
Since I became a mom, I've said a lot of stuff I never imagined I would say. While I hesitate to say that I've turned into my mom, some of her sayings have certainly come out of my mouth. Stuff like, "You can't have dessert if you don't finish your vegetables," and various things about Oliver keeping his room clean and washing his hands.
Sometimes I'm speaking to my son and I wonder "Who said that?!" Like the night at dinner that I actually told him there are starving children in the world who would be grateful for all the food on his plate he refused to touch. As if that line has EVER worked to get a kid to eat his spinach. Cliché, thy name is Somer.
But that is nothing compared to the single weirdest thing I've ever said. We were at a backyard barbecue with some friends and their two kids. For some reason that I can't remember, there was a giant bouncy house set up in the yard, and the children were all flinging themselves gleefully into it. The kids, being kids, would run up to the table, grab a bit of food, and then run off to play in the bouncy house. On one occasion, Oliver ran over, grabbed a piece of string cheese, and took off running while taking a bite of it.
That's when I yelled across the yard in my best mom voice for the entire neighborhood to hear:
"Don't run with cheese!"
I mean, what I really meant was to tell him it's not safe to eat while you're running because you can choke. But what I actually said was that running and cheese, specifically, do not mix. I will never live it down. Oliver's dad still gives me crap about this. Oliver doesn't remember because he was too young, but every time we are at a party and he starts running or playing with food in his hand, I count to 10 before telling him not to eat and run, lest I say something else kind of stupid.
Now it's your turn. What's the weirdest or funniest thing you've ever said to your kid -- or that your own parents have ever said to you?

What to CookCake
A Peach Cobbler That's Maybe Cake and Definitely Bakes in a Pool of Butter
Many families' heirloom recipes start on handwritten recipe cards. Most of mine come from foodnetwork.com.
Trisha Yearwood and her sister made a cobbler on the family fish fry episode of Trisha's Southern Kitchen. Nodding to their Georgia roots, it's a peach cobbler. The peaches come from a can. I wouldn't have kept watching, but my mom did.
Amidst the personalities chit-chatting about how they like to stay inside and bake—because a horseshoe might get hurled at them out by the grill—and about serving "man-sized scoops" of cobbler, a thin, golden, peach-jeweled cake appears. It doesn't look like cobbler that I know, but it is "quick and easy," they say, more than once.
My mom managed to see through the shit-shooting, and she made this dessert part of our summer dessert rotation—with fresh peaches. Whereas schlumpf is 50/50 fruit to topping, buckle 25/75, and pandowdy 75/25, this Southern style of cobbler is 75% caramelly fruit cake and 25% best end-pieces ever.
An entire stick of butter melts in a pan in a preheating oven while sugar-sprinkled peaches effuse their juices in a separate bowl. Then, that peach syrup is strained and used to sweeten a pancake-like batter, which is finally poured over the butter pooling in the hot pan. The reserved, slightly slouched peaches get placed with precision or abandon atop. As the cobbler bakes for an hour, the batter poufs around the peaches, but the butter to batter ratio is such that all that could become "moist cake" instead browns into a crisp caramel chew.
For optimum caramelliness, I use brown sugar instead of white and have been known to leave the butter in the oven long after it's melted—it's this nutty sweetness that makes this cobbler (cake? cobbler-cake?) about more than rescuing fruit from beneath a mountain range of topping.
Every time I've made it, plates and forks were traded for fingers ripping from the pan. One time, it didn't make it to dinner—instead eaten on the car ride there.
Whipped cream, vanilla ice cream: They're clearly incidental.
- 4 peaches, peeled, sliced, and sprinkled with sugar in a bowl
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark, whatever you've got)—you'll want to use less if your peaches are really sweet
- 1 cup milk

|Kool Aid Dyeing
|click on pictures for closeups
|Okay, so this was MUCH easier than expected.
I used the Philosopher's Wool method.
The yarn is Lionbrand Fisherman's Wool
(which I've got A LOT of...)
I had to take the skeins down to hanks.
Each hank is about 45g.
The yellow could use an other dipping, I think I would like it brighter.
Now what to do with it?
I'm thinking an entrelac vest or sweater
(if there's enough... or I could dye more)
The book mentioned they use the Canadian strawberry and the US strawberry to get two different reds. Looking at the book, it looks like the Canadian strawberry is cooler (more blues undertone) and the US is a warmer red.
All in all a fun way to spend a crappy day.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Who wasn't happy? The nonstop whining liberals? Anyone remember the $1.7b bailout FHA needed in 2013? Trump saved the country from another bailout. The insurance fund is only 16% above minimum reserve levels. Only an idiot would cut insurance premiums with such little reserves. Oh wait, BO was the one that proposed the cut so it all makes sense.
I agree! We don't need another default on our background
This is not about being "liberal" or "conservative," this is about government breaking its announced reduction, which may be constituted as a promise. You see, when something is declared or said, and it is not folowed through, it is dishonorable. Period.

(AP) France says 'response' brewing after Syria attack
The French foreign minister says there will be a "proportionate response" to the alleged chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb that he blamed on Syria's government.
Syria's government agreed to allow U.N. experts already in the country to begin an investigation Monday into the suspected chemical attack on rebel-held areas in the capital's eastern suburbs. Anti-government activists and Doctors Without Borders say that more than 300 people were killed in an artillery barrage by regime forces Wednesday that included the use of toxic gas.

Song Joong Ki's small hometown becomes big tourist attraction
Let's say that you are a fan, no, a super fan, of Song Joong Ki. You have watched all his dramas (which of course includes Descendants of the Sun) and TV appearances, you have bought all of his memorabilia, you have gone to his fan meetings, and you may even be confident that no one can best you in Song Joong Ki trivia. What else could you do to show support for your beloved super star? Well, now you can personally go visit his hometown and childhood home!
Visiting filming locations and other iconic K-entertainment locations is not a new phenomenon for both domestic and international fans of K-dramas. It is not a rare sight for locals to spot large tour groups passing through a previously little known destination in search of a connection with either the star or drama that has touched their hearts and entered their lives. Well, you can now add the childhood home of actor Song Joong Ki to this growing list of K-entertainment tourist destinations.
Fans from around the world have been so enraptured by Song Joong Ki that now even his small hometown has become a international attraction!
Song Joong Ki grew up in the idyllic town of Saejeong-gol, which is in Daejeon, South Korea. The town is so small that currently there are only around 20 households inhabiting the area, and it was almost unknown before Song Joong Ki's rise to mega stardom. While Song Joong Ki's family now currently lives in Seoul, curious fans are still able to visit his childhood home, which has been opened to tourists. Luckily, the residents of Saejeong-gol have also been very welcoming to anyone who wants to come and see their town, even going so far as to put up banners and signs directing excited fans.
Would you like to go visit Song Joong Ki's hometown? Is there a drama or star-related location you absolutely want to visit? Let us know below!

broom stick suicide also know as B.S.S. is the act of killing ones self by sticking the end of a broom stick up their anus and then jumping off of somthing really high such as a house or other tall building, most people that kill themselves like this do it because it is the most awesome thing that they could possibly do with their life which is why they killed themself in the first place. This is not to be confused with light post suicide which is at least over 9000 times cooler but takes years of gauging your ass to do.
you know that kid that said he was going to kill himself, he did it yesterday Broom Stick Suicide style so his life wasn't a toptal waste.
