The first chapter of my first fanfic.
Enjoy and review!
Oh yeah! I do not own Azumanga Daioh or Resident Evil. It's just a fanfic, who the hell cares anyway.
Chapter 1 : Safe Travel
"The airplane to Raccoon City USA will be departing in 1 hour, repeat, the flight for Raccoon City USA departs in one hour"
Hearing this announcement, a certain raven haired girl began tapping her foot nervously.
"Damn, where are they? They'd better not be late!" she thought to herself. After all, they still had to check in, recieve the tickets they reserved, go through the security boot and make it to their plane in time. To make matters worse, the Tokyo airport hall was flooded with people, even this early in the morning.
The girl sat down on the bench. Since looking for them was not the best thing to do because they made a deal to meet eachother here, she could only wait for them, hoping they'd show up anytime soon. After waiting and slightly panicking for a minute or 5, she finally heard a familiar voice calling out for her.
"Hey, Tomo! Over here!". Tomo shot up and looked through the dense crowd of travellers. After scanning the sea of people, she spotted two girls, one with brown long hair and glasses, and a tall one with black hair.
"Ah, Yomi! Sakaki-san! Where were you guys?! And where are the others?"
Yomi sighed and explained "Well, to answer your first question, sorry, but we kinda got stuck in traffic and it was tough getting through this crowd, and secondly, the others are waiting at the reception, because we would just lose eachother anyway."
"Well then what are we waiting for! Let's go! Our plane leaves in less than an hour!" Tomo snapped.
So the trio managed to squeeze their way through the crowd and met up with the rest of the group.
"Ah, Tomo, you made it!" a girl with brown short hair and a slight tan said to her.
To what Tomo responded somewhat irritated "Kagura, what are you talking about ? I was here way earlier than you guys!"
"No way, that's unlike you, to be so early" Kagura said grinning teasingly.
"Haha, yeah, I was so excited I got here early. I didn't even sleep much last night."
"Oh" Tomo changed the subject, "Chiyo-chan, did you bring the camera?".
A small girl with orange/brown hair in pigtails replied happily "Yes, it's all charged so it should last for at least 24 hours!".
"Yes! Alright!" Tomo chanted, "can I keep hold of it?".
To this request Chiyo frowned, because leaving it in Tomo's hands would surely leave the camera in shambles. "Well,…okay, but promise not to break it!"
"Haha, don't worry don't worry" Tomo exclaimed while snatching the handheld camera out of the little girl's hand. "I'm gonna shoot an awesome documentary with this".
"Hey, while you guys were goofing off, me and Sakaki-san already got the tickets. So let's get going!" Yomi said while waving the airplane tickets in the air.
"Alright, let's go!!! Come on Kagura, I'll race you!" Tomo yelled in her usual fashion.
Kagura, who never turns down a challenge, accepted. "Okay, you're on!"
And with that, both Tomo and Kagura raced off.
The rest of the group followed calmly, with Yomi clearly being irritated with the dynamic duo. Untill she turned her head and noticed something…
After that awkward event, the six-headed group made their way to the security boot. While their luggage was being checked, the dull-witted, straight-brown haired girl Ayumu, nicknamed Osaka, decided to open her mouth.
"This is the first time I'm going to America"
"Yeah, same here" Kagura responded excited.
"Did you know that in America the steering wheel of a car is on the left side?" Osaka noted.
"Oh? I didn't know that" Kagura reacted surprised.
"Yes, it's true, and they also drive on the right side of the road instead of the left side".
"Really… so?" Kagura responded.
"So if someone from Japan went there and drove a car, he would just crash into every other car, also, if Yukari-sensei went there, many people would die, wouldn't they?"
Kagura remained silent.
"So" Osaka continued, "isn't it a good thing Yukari-sensei didn't come with us?"
Kagura sweatdropped and said "that's just mean".
Osaka didn't say anything, but just gave her a confused look.
The crew passed through the security boot without any trouble, except for Tomo, who had to split way with her pocket knife and got a warning from security.
So now they only had to board the plane and they were all set. Before they headed up the stairs into the airplane, they took one more look at their home country, because they weren't going to see it again for 2 weeks.
Trying to act like she was in a movie, Tomo shouted at the top of her lungs "AMERICA HERE WE COOOOOME!", closely followed by a whack to her head by Yomi.
'Will you please behave!?' she snapped at her.
About 15 minutes later, the plane finally took off. And the group of girls were on their way to the midwestern town in America, Raccoon City.
The six young girls were seated somewhere in the middle of the plane, the three knuckleheads Tomo, Kagura and Osaka on the left-hand side, and Yomi, Chiyo and Sakaki on the opposite side. Without further ado, Tomo fired up her camera, well, Chiyo's camera.
"Alllriiiiight our adventure is about to begin!" she cried out.
"It's not an adventure, it's a vacation, and we're just going to relax okay? So don't do any stupid things." Yomi's voice sounded from the other side.
"Yeah yeah, whatever" Tomo pouted. "Oh I know, character introduction!"
Tomo pointed the camera to herself. "Introducing the star of this show, me! Tomo Takino" she said in an overly pridefull manner.
"Here's Kagura". Tomo pointed the camera at Kagura who was sitting by the window. She grinned and gave a peace sign.
"Next we have Osaka, say something to the camera Osaka!"
Osaka smiled sheepishly like she always does, and responded with "hi".
"Is that all? Oh well. Over there we have Chiyo-chan. Isn't she cute? She's most likely going to be the first victim" Tomo laughed in a mean way.
"V...victim?" Chiyo weeped in a small voice.
"Ignore her Chiyosuke" Yomi said in an annoyed tone.
"There we have Sakaki, wave to the camera!"
Sakaki gave a little wave, until continueing to look outside the airplane window.
"Ah, you're no fun" Tomo sighed. "And of course we have Yomi over there!"
Tomo gave her a long and intruding camera stare.
"What!?" Yomi finally snapped at her.
"Nothing, I just have to zoom the camera out. I'm having a hard time fitting you on the screen."
"SHUT THE HELL UP IDIOT!!!" Yomi barked, not without grabbing attention from the rest of the passengers of course.
The rest of the long flight was quite peaceful. Of course there was the occasional Tomo and Kagura messing around, and Yomi trying not to make a scene. Osaka kept herself busy with the many gadgets on the seats, Chiyo read a book and Sakaki silently enjoyed the scenery from almost 40.000 feet above the earth.
The flight seemed to take forever though, untill the stewardess announced that their destination was closing in and that the plane would slowly start descending.
Tomo : oh, first chapter already over? That was quick. But wasn't I awesome?!
Yomi : Yeah, that was really awesome, the way you forgot your suitcase at the reception and how you got in trouble with security. Really, kudos.
Chiyo : But this looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun! I'm already looking forward to what we're going to do!
Tomo : "At that time, she didn't realize it was gonna be...such a tragic trip..." or something like that?
Yomi : That joke didn't work the first time, it's not gonna work now, so shut up!
Sakaki : .... I didn't get any lines in this chapter...
Wata : Don't worry Sakaki, I'm not leaving you out, promise. Anyway guys, so much for the first chapter, and I gotta say, it's tough! So excuse me if it's not perfect, cause I know it's not. Well, make sure to give some feedback so far, and look forward to the next chapter. It's coming sooner than you think!

Puerto 80 Gets Their Seized Domains Back
Looks like the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) had a change of heart concerning a popular Spanish Internet company's domains. Nearly 20 months ago, Puerto 80 – an umbrella corporation for the Rojadirecta family of sites – curiously had their Web properties seized; curious because the reason for the seizure was spurious at best. What caused the flip-flop? Judge Richard Posner.
We'll Take Those Domains, Thank You Very Much
In January of 2011, online legal watchers were aghast that the ICE was able to seize the websites of a foreign company, while standing on a very shaky legal leg. The sites in question were the Rojadirecta .coms and .orgs, a community of sites for professional sports fans. They featured discussion boards and links to game streams.
What made the original domain takeover especially suspect was that despite a Spanish court's ruling, which said the sites were not in violation of Spanish law, the U.S. government would not release the sites while awaiting an exploratory hearing. Puerto 80 reasoned in a legal filing, "The [U.S.] government has not shown and cannot show that the site ever was used to commit a criminal act, much less that it will be in the future. By hosting discussion forums and linking to existing material on the internet, Puerto 80 is not committing copyright infringement, let alone criminal copyright infringement." Judge Paul Crotty, however, was not hearing it and explained his decision by focusing on Puerto 80's ostensible ability to redirect customers easily: "Rojadirecta.com has a large Internet presence and can simply distribute information about the seizure and its new domain to its customers." U.S. officials also made it clear to Puerto 80 that the only chance they had of getting their sites back was if they prohibited users from linking to any U.S. content.
U.S. Government Drops Claim After Posner Intellectual Property Ruling
After fighting to hold onto Puerto 80's family of websites, last month, the U.S. government dropped their strangle hold with a terse memo:
The Government respectfully submits this letter to advise the Court that as a result of certain recent judicial authority involving issues germane to the above-captioned action, and in light of the particular circumstances of this litigation, the Government now seeks to dismiss its amended forfeiture complaint. The decision to seek dismissal of this case will best promote judicial economy and serve the interests of justice.
And it all had to do with a ruling handed down by one of America's most respected jurists, Richard Posner. In the case of MyVidster v. Flava Works, Posner affirmed that embedding video was not copyright infringement. As such, federal officials had no choice but to release the Puerto 80 sites. After all, if case law in the United States does not back up the ICE's assertion, there's little legal ground for them to stand on.
It's no secret that officials are looking to thwart online piracy by any means possible, but it looks like this time their plans were foiled by Judge Posner.

Topic: Improved strategies, logic and decision support for selecting test trench location
Before breaking the surface the contractors and crews need to do a KLIC request for information. The relevant utility owners provide information about the existing underground networks for the specific location(s). Since several of these networks go back a long time, the actual location may not match with the provided location data. The check the accuracy of the provided information, and the inspection of the actual condition often one or more test trenches are dug. While test trenches provide vital information the digging and inspection of these test trenches takes time and effort and may even introduce added hindrances and risks. Selection of number and location(s) therefore always requires trade-offs and compromises. Although digging of test trenches is common practice the reasoning regarding location(s) is mostly implicit, unclear and not documented.

Under all the news and chatter coming out of the video game industry right now, one title is becoming one of the most anticipated new IPs to come: Battleborn. Gearbox Software, creators of the brilliant Borderlands franchise, have just revealed the first footage of gameplay for the co-op campaign in a new 13-minute demo. Andrew Goldfarb, Gearbox's content editor, sits down with Aaron Linde (lead writer) and Randy Varnell (creative director) to walk us through the demo and give us a bit of insight into what it's all about. Below the video, I'll provide my own thoughts and commentary but let's get to what you're really excited about:
In Battleborn, players will take the role of a hero from one of the several different races and factions in the story. These factions have been in conflict with each other for some time, but have now found a common malevolent enemy that threatens them all: the Veralsi. The heroes of these different factions have put their differences aside to fight this enemy together. While the demo features some of these heroes, it does not reflect the full character roster.
It's clear right away during our introduction to the characters that the combination of humor and awesomeness is still a significant staple in the Gearbox's character designs. Unsurprising, as lead writer Aaron Linde and Anthony Burch (lead writer of Borderlands) are known to be more than well-acquainted. The writing and humor in Battleborn looks to be just as promising in serving up the laughs.
While the art style is incredibly unique and unlike anything we've seen before in a FPS, it's difficult to imagine such unique visuals coming from anywhere else but the creative minds of Gearbox. From the Pixar-like proportions of the characters to the almost hand-drawn look of the explosions, everything in the aesthetic looks well-polished and world-defining all while bringing a new and innovative attitude to the shooter genre.
The HUD design overall is evocative of that of Borderlands but stands alone with it's own unique and cartoonish art-style, especially in the shield and health bar. When damaging an enemy and gaining experience, the respective numbers are displayed briefly and lightly on screen succeeding at not visually compromising the environment so much that it breaks immersion. This is something unattained by many games, Borderlands included in this author's humble opinion.
In the first battle, we're given the perspectives of each character and their combat styles. Thorn, the bow-wielding mage, is seen flinging arrows from her bow at low-frequency but with high precision and damage output. She also seems to have an area-of-effect ability that disperses a damaging fungi gas (which looks amazing). Miko, a hero of the same faction as Thorn, seems to share this fungi ability along with other more support-oriented abilities. Miko is seen slinging throwing darts at the enemies which seems to be his primary attack. Rath, a vampiric-looking swordmaster, uses his long red blades to mow through enemies. We're often subjected to the barrel of Montana's gun simply ripping bullets through robots and hurling grenades at their more concentrated clusters. And Oscar Mike is your more basic assault rifle-toting soldier who also seems to be able to set up turrets giving him a chance to shift focus to enemies in a different area.
After the first battle in the demo, "Level Up" appears at the top of the screen as well as "Augment Available". "Every time you level up in Battleborn, you get to choose between different ways to customize your character," Varnell explains. Going into the level up screen for Oscar Mike, two options are displayed: adding a red dot sight or long-range scope to his assault rifle. In this demo, the red dot sight is chosen. Varnell also goes on to explain that each character unlocks an ultimate skill at level 7. Montana's ultimate skill is called Mansformation. "Montana's a big guy moving around slowly, but Mansformation gives him a way to charge into combat and get in close and personal so he can really help his team out absorbing all that damage."
At the next moment in the demo, Rath and Montana face a narrow upward ramp full of enemy robots and my first thought is "Why doesn't Montana start mowing these guys down with his gun?" That's precisely when Rath rapidly spins in circles and advances through them in a hurricane caused by his swords. Not one robot minion is left standing.
The demo ends after a long battle with what can only be a boss called Black Wolf who ejects smaller robots than himself out of his sides giving something to distract the players with. Not to mention the missiles he constantly launches at our heroes.
Throughout the demo are wonderful voice-acting performances, something Gearbox has never failed to deliver. Overall, Gearbox seems to be infusing all of their signature, tried-and-true game design elements into Battleborn. This particular gamer welcomes it with open arms. No specific release date has been revealed yet other than sometime in 2015 on PS4, XBox One, and PC.
Who will you play in Battleborn? What do you think of the demo? Let us know in the comments below!

Still about 1000 miles shy of completing what must be the world's longest break-in period-4975 miles for the Jag-we've nevertheless been everyday visitors to the cat's lair, diligently but slowly fattening the XKR's odometer with jaunts to and from the office as well as an occasional road trip.Art director Andy Foster, on a trek to Desert Hot Springs and Joshua Tree National Park, became annoyed with the Jag's "seat belt retainer and its magnetic closing device, which incessantly allowed the belt to slip out, prompting a loud 'clank' with any movement in the seat." Despite the mischievous belt retainer, Foster loves how the XKR tackles twisty roads-"in much comfort and with heaps of class." He also notes that the "stunning exterior doesn't have a bad angle for photographing."OTHER MT VOICESGot in the XKR today after taking it to lunch, and the IP's center readout informed me that the key fob battery was low. Not wanting to have to take it to the dealer, I looked in the manual, hoping there was an easy fix I could perform at home. Sure enough, all it needed was a common CR2032 battery. A quick stop at CVS and $4.92 later, and I was at home w/ the manual opened-up on the coffee table. The manual says to: 1) remove the valet key, 2) remove the chrome-plastic side pieces, 3) insert the head of a screwdriver into the opening left by the valet key and softly twist the screwdriver to separate the fob's top and bottom pieces, 4) replace the battery. It was simple and quick, although I do think Jag could produce a fob w/ fewer pieces – seems silly that it's a not a two-piece device. Leave it to the British to make it more complicated than it needs to be!This car is an absolute dream to drive. Tons of power and all 420 horses are smooth, which is not always the case w/ a supercharged motor. Six-speed auto is very intuitive, esp. in sport mode, which seamlessly downshifts w/o you even knowing it. Paddles are nifty, too, esp. when wanting to be in full control. Ride is very good for such a sporty machine, certainly one riding on 20-inch wheels. Looks? Breathtaking.Of course, I'd never buy one, even if I had the money. I HATE the power antenna – it screams $25K car from 1985. The interior, while nice, doesn't seem rich or fancy enough to warrant a $97K price tag. Most of all, I can think of a handful of cars that I could get for that money – Nissan GTR, Lexus IS F, and BMW 650i – that would give me as good if not better performance and $20-30K left over. -RON KIINO 2007 Jaguar XKR Months/miles in service 3/3791 Avg econ/CO2 14.8 mpg/1.09 lb/mi Unresolved problems None Maintenance cost $0 Normal-wear cost $0 Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Fleet Update: 2007 Jaguar XKR /3 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 3 2 | 3 3 | 3

The heat is on Hylton as they head into the final three games of a disappointing campaign with the threat of relegation from Division One hanging over them.
Hylton were hoping to write an exciting new chapter in their history this summer with the signing of former West Indian international bowler Marlon Black being seen as a major coup for the Wearsiders.
Several other signings suggested that they would be competing nearer the top of the table than the bottom, but it hasn't worked out that way and they go into the run-in some 16 points adrift of third-bottom Easington in the battle to avoid going down with bottom club Boldon CA.
Skipper Alan Mustard, who, despite his side's parlous position, has scored more than 600 league runs at an average of 50, is realistic enough to know the cards are stacked against his team.
"This weekend's home match against Bill Quay is pretty much a 'must win' game," he told the Echo.
"Realistically, I think we need to win at least two of our remaining three games and draw the other one to stand a chance of catching the teams above us.
"Although Easington still have a couple of tough games in Castle Eden and Esh Winning, they do play Boldon CA on the final day, so I think we'll need to be ahead of them at that stage to stand a chance."
One of those close-season signings, Gary Frater, misses the next two games and Hylton have deferred naming a replacement for him until closer to the weekend.
Bill Quay, who are not out of the woods just yet themselves given they are just 26 points above their opponents, have one clear objective for the match, as outlined by skipper Jeff Tudor. He said: "As long as we don't get beat on Saturday, we should be OK as far as our Division One status goes."
Easington have to contend with a trip to Castle Eden on Saturday and possibly won't know what to expect from an opposition side who have blown hot and cold all summer, with seven wins and six defeats.
Their depleted team took a bit of a pounding on home soil last week from Mainsforth, but they should at least have Alan Unsworth back for this one.
Up at the summit, it's muck or nettles for Mainsforth when they entertain unbeaten leaders Esh Winning, who were expecting a visit from the Premier League pitch and facilities inspectors today to see if they can get their promotional passport stamped.
Esh lead their hosts by 78 points, although their opponents do have a game in hand which they play on Monday afternoon against Horden.
For the home side to keep their faint hopes alive, they must win, and win convincingly, but they have lost their Pakistani Test player, Faisal Iqbal, who has returned to his home country to captain a T20 franchise.
Esh skipper David Lawlor is relishing the prospect, saying: "We are all looking forward to the challenge of playing an outstanding Mainsforth team in our most important game for a very long time.
"We are excited about this game, and are very hopeful we can go on to capture the Durham Cricket League crown, so that we are able to play in the Premier League next season."
Esh will be missing Michael Oughton, Stuart Hall and Lee Goodwin, losses which will test their normal 12-man first-team resources.
In other top-flight games, second-placed Durham City, unbeaten in seven, are missing Callum Steel for the match at Dawdon, although Mudara Senanayake does return after recovering from an illness which sidelined him last week. Their hosts are back to full strength with the return of David Renwick.
Philadelphia have to reckon without the services of Peter Greenwell and Paul Hollinshead when they host Horden, who will be missing Shaun Bradbury for both the Bunker Hill match, and also the rearranged trip to Mainsforth on Monday. Jamie Greenwood is back from holiday to compensate.
For Division Two sides, it's another double weekend, with Saturday's round of league games being followed by another set on Monday.
But out of all 12 games, the undoubted stand-out is the meeting at Seaham Park in two days time when the leaders entertain second-placed Burnopfield, who are now just 18 points adrift of their opponents after a scintillating run of seven straight wins.
During that seven-game bonanza, Burnopfield have clawed back 58 points on their rivals to change a one-horse title race into a real twosome, and the pressure is now on the home side to reproduce the form that saw them win the first encounter between the two teams back in mid-June.
After Saturday, Park go to Ushaw Moor for their second game, while Burnopfield, who are able to include Stephen Allen again in a full strength line-up, have a home game against Whiteleas, who have lost their overseas player, Sunzow Brahma, following his return to India after selection for his state side.
While the leading pair would seem to be nailed on for promotion, Marsden should not be ruled out. They lie third, just 29 points behind Burnopfield and 47 adrift of Park, but, with at least one of those sides losing points on Saturday, the in-form challengers, who have won seven of their last eight, could yet have a say.
Both Chris and Colin Mann miss Saturday's home game against Evenwood because of a family wedding, but leading all-rounder Nick Quinn returns, while, on Monday, Marsden "Mann up" with the two key players back in the side for the trip to Murton.
Skipper Chris is ever hopeful, saying:, "I'm gutted to be missing Saturday's match, but family must come first.
"We're playing good cricket at the moment, so, despite not having a spinner on Saturday, I'm sure our seamers can do the job for us.
"We're relying a little on Seaham doing us a favour by beating Burnopfield, but even if it's a draw that won't be a bad thing as we still have Burnopfield to play."

After posting the photo of Kelly on our Instagram, we received a lot of inquiries about her look. Her wedding was a while ago, so bare with us on the exact details.
We used Temptu's airbrush foundation, as well as, Face Atelier for any spots that needed excess coverage. The eyes were done using a neutral palette and were lined top and bottom. Kelly's eyebrows are amazing, so all that was needed was grooming. To lengthen her lashes, we added false ones that were colored with black, waterproof mascara. And for her lips, we used Mac's Viva Glam V .
For Kelly's hair, we added extensions. It was set and pinned up to the sides, leaving the curls to cascade down her back.
Kelly is absolutely stunning and was a pleasure to work with. After her wedding, we asked her to model a few different looks for us. You can find those photos on our Instagram at Magda_designs.

Question about Toshiba Televison & Video
Posted by im2ntens on
If you unplug the tv from ac. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Plug it back in and check if its on.
ONE: Do a hard reset. Merely unplug the power cord for 4 hours or more. This will clear any software corruptions that might have accumulated.
TWO: When you turn the set on listen very carefully for a sizzle or crackling sound down in the lower back side of the set. This is the high voltage coming up. If you donot hear it the high voltage generator is faulty. If you do hear it and still a blank picture you have video processing troubles. Either way it is not a home remedy and you will need a service tech to diagnose the set with instrumentation.
Posted on May 18, 2008
The problem could be in the convergence amps. stk's., common failure on Toshiba TVs.
The power board which has the power transformer has a set of wires that go to the convergence circuit. If you disconnect this cable the unit will power up. Of course the convergence is all messed up because its missing its voltages, 30 18 18 give or take.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Posted on May 18, 2008
Hello im2ntens,
1. Try this - hold the menu button down for 10 seconds. TV should power up; you will have to turn off front panel buttons on menu.
2. You can also try plugging in the TV through the USB on its panel to a computer or USB charger, and it may work. However, this is only a temporary solution.
3. Powering down the set or putting it in standby may have allowed the power supply to cool. Weak capacitors often go out of spec when they cool, thus preventing a section of the power supply from firing up properly again. There is a simple trick...just warm the back of the TV with a hair dryer for 5-7 mins after you have unplugged the TV. Look for the little areas of holes in the back panel of TV. Use these as your guide at where to use the hairdryer, but don't hold the dryer too close (say 5-6inches away). (Make sure the dryer is on High heat). If the TV doesn't turn on after you have heated it up (like it tries to come on but then turns off) you need to unplug the TV again, this resets it. And repeat those steps till it works. Resetting the TV after it fails to turn on is the key. Also, just leave the TV on. Don't turn in off. Since it is LCD, it doesn't take much power...only a few bucks extra a month for your utility bill.
4. A circuit board may crack about some of the larger components mounted on it. You can inspect the PCB's for fractures, and then repair them. It may also be poor soldering that has failed. I would be checking for these things first.
5. If you want to go in for a long term solution, you can easily replace the whole power board or just change the faulty capacitors. You will have to open the back panel and take a look. You can make out which are faulty, because their caps will be swollen on top. Here's a sample pic of a bust capacitor (not same model):
Check the specifications of the faulty capacitors, and get the replacements from your local electronics shop. If you are comfortable with this, you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to G-E-N-T-L-Y pull out the defunct capacitors. Once that is done, solder in the new capacitors carefully. If are unsure how to do this, try to get a friend who knows how to do this kinda stuff do it for you, or get a qualified technician. Warning: If you do not have a background in electronics repair, or are inexperienced, get a qualified technician to do it for you.
REMEMBER there are very dangerous voltages inside a TV that can KILL. Be sure to work SAFE when dealing with electricity. DISCONNECT THE POWER BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
Hope that helps!
Don't forget to "Accept" this solution if you find that it helped you :)
Thank you for using FIXYA!

Starving artist Kelsey Tecato takes being The Templeton Museum's artist in residence a little too literally. By day, she puts on a show of painting for the crowds that shuffle through the galleries, but at night, her muse runs wild.
Mitch Jameson is a guy's guy. A cop moonlighting as a security guard, he has little use for the artsy-fartsy stuff, but the mysterious Ms. Tecato's sexy portraits call to him.
So does an interior alarm.
When Officer Jameson goes to investigate, he finds a paint-splattered goddess working on a self-portrait—in the nude.
A couple tubes of paint and a roll in the drop cloths later, free-spirited Kelsey helps Officer Jameson discover his passion for art.
"About time you showed up."
A woman. The intruder was a woman and she'd been expecting him. Irked by the presumptuous amusement in her tone, he stepped into the open doorway, prepared to let her have it, and almost swallowed his tongue.
Screw the flashing red lights. Alarm bells clamored in his head the moment recognition clicked. Kelsey Tecato. Artist in Residence. Painter of hard-on-inducing nudes. Live and in person, standing in the Templeton Museum after hours.
And naked as the day she was born.
As if that on its own wasn't enough to keep the synapses from firing at full force, she was motioning him closer. The jiggle of bare breasts beckoned to him. The neatly clipped triangle of dark hair between her thighs made his mouth water. Sheer force of will helped him hang back. He needed a second to let a few simple facts soak through the red haze of lust. Jerking his gaze up, he started at the top, figuring it was safer to work his way down.
Her sable hair was longer than it was in her photo. And curly. Wild, untamed curls the color of unground coffee beans. Pleased with his own attempt at artistry, he allowed his gaze to drift a little lower. The hazel eyes remained true to her photograph—wide-set, heavy-lashed, and breathtakingly direct. Green and gold appeared to dominate the brown, but he figured that might be a trick of the light.
He blinked then stared stupidly at the crazed assortment of shadeless lamps scattered around the cramped room. Bulbs ranging from soft pink incandescent to silver-white fluorescence gave off a glow that shone pale gold against the darkness in the hall and backlit a figure more heart-thumpingly curvaceous than stylishly slim.
A silhouette oh-so-familiar to him. The same sensuous curves that made his nightly stroll through the gallery fraught with danger were now displayed for his eyes only.
The tiny hairs on the back of his neck tripped over each other in their haste to stand on end. Raw, unchecked desire rippled through him. His dick stirred, his mouth ran dry and his palms prickled. All the usual and expected results when confronted by a beautiful woman without a stitch of clothing. But what he could never have predicted was the strange sense of calm that settled on his shoulders. Or the weird rightness he felt when their eyes met. He didn't even attempt to dissect the soul-deep chant of "yes" drumming in his brain.
The flashlight slipped from his grip and crashed to the scarred tile floor. She cocked her head and crooked a finger, coaxing him into the room like a reluctant stray. "Come in."

Swansea City and manager Michael Laudrup have tonight parted company.
Garry Monk will take up the reigns as head coach alongside current first team coach Alan Curtis for the foreseeable future.
"It is a decision we have taken reluctantly" confirmed Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins. "But it's a decision made in the best interests of Swansea City Football Club and our supporters."
"It is the first time in nearly 10 years that the club has parted with a manager in this way, but we had to remove the constant uncertainty surrounding the club and Michael's long-term future with us.
The Swansea chairman concluded: "I hope all our supporters can fully understand how difficult this period has been for us and I would urge everyone connected to the football club to get behind Garry Monk, the staff and players."
Danish former football superstar and current manager Michael Laudrup has been removed from his post as head coach of Swansea City AFC. Excerpt taken from swanseacity.net – for the full article, see here.

Smuttynose Big Beer Release: Homunculus
I recently subscribed to the Smuttynose Big Beer Series Release. Me and a couple friends went in on a half case (6) of bombers of their Big Beer released monthly. Each month they hold a release at the Smuttynose brewery for the subscribers, consisting of a great spread of food donated by locals and beer from Smuttynose. This is a huge perk to those who are part of the subscription. I highly recommend signing up, if not for the beer, to meet a ton of beer lovers once a month for an awesome beer social. More info on the subscription here (link).
This month's release was the much anticipated Homunculus. As described on Smuttynose's website:
"This hoppy, Belgian-style golden ale first appeared in early 2007 as the first edition of our Short Batch Series. At that time, we called it the Gnome, an homage to Brasserie d'Achouffe."
This beer came out at the right time for more than one reason. First it's a great summer beer, nice and hoppy to cure any of the summer heat blues. Second, the Clown Shoes label controversy was in full force and the label on Homunculus can be seen as controversial. I don't care to fight about labels on beer, I care to drink it. In my opinion the label is creative and fun. Here is some background the info besides the obvious. The high level definition of Homunculus is "little man" to which the creative minds of Smutty went to work and used the bottom of a beer bottle as the egg and the faces of the brewers as sperm on the label. Trust me, I won't get used to describing the label out loud to people anytime soon :).
The beer should be hitting shelves soon to be flying off them within the next week or so. Even if you forget to look for it you can't miss it with a label like this. Don't miss it!
Til next Big Beer release…

Calibration works better with better screens, = more darn money.
The commonest screen is TN (twisted nematic) type because it is cheap to make and the contrast/saturation/colour appears to change as you move you head around, despite careful calibration.
The good ones are IPS (in plane switching) type and used to cost many times the price of the TN types, but luckily now I have seen LG brand IPS screens advertised for much more sensible prices.
The IPS screen stays with constant contrast/saturation/colour as you move your head around and also have a better colour gamut than the TN types. They are usually listed as "178 degrees viewing angle".
My various TN screens on notebooks in the house maybe can display 60% to 70% of the sRGB colour gamut, as long as your head is held square to the screen.
A decent (read expensive) thing I bought is the 24" Asus ProArt 1920x1200 IPS screen and will display practically 100% of the sRGB gamut plus make my E-PL1 look like a way better camera.
There's a big difference in the quality of the image displayed.
Monitors like that come with selectable profiles and do have a canned sRGB profile but of course proper calibration improves on that by varying degrees.
Keep saving those $$$$$.
Regards....... Guy

Once or twice a year I challenge myself into doing one themed sketch for a month. I always do one for October with a Halloween theme but then nearly everyone I know does that. I like to do another one on my own. Last year I did Nursery Rhymes for two months the year before it was movies.
It's a good exercise. It forces you to keep on a schedule, and if you do it by drawing names from a hat like I do, forces you to be creative on the spot without waiting for the muse to do her job. Because of the deadline it also forces you to own up to your work, so even when the idea you came up with in five minutes wasn't as good as you thought it was you have to treat it as if it were and work it until what you finish with is at least mediocre. It's tough but definitely lives you producing better stuff by the time you've finished.
For this April challenge, the theme is Grimm Fairy Tales (with a little bit of Hans Christian Anderson to fill out the Gaps.) The rules one sketch a day using a ten point marker (I am indeed a masochist) I am going to try to maintain a film noir vibe (though since half the time it feels like that means sticking a fedora on everyone that one's not written in stone, but I'll try to stay in period)
We start with the Story of Snow White and Rose Red.
I think this was okay start (the first few are always the weakest) I kind of flubbed the bear's head but otherwise I'm mostly pleased with it.

Hello, oatmeal devotees! I'm Claudia from The Breakfast Drama Queen and I'm delighted to share a recipe with you. No, it's not oatmeal – bear with me here, people – but it does contain oats. And peanut butter!
So, why am I here? Well, imagine this: The Oatmeal Artist contacts you with an exciting idea. She'll take one of your recipes and turn it into oatmeal. Then you'll take one her oatmeal recipes, and turn it into a different breakfast food. Was I about to say no to that?
I've actually been here before; I was Lauren's Oatmeal Enthusiast for January 2014. Since that post – which I refuse to believe was 13 months ago – I've finished my economics degree, started a law degree, taken thousands of food photos (literally thousands), and spent many hours working on my little blog.
Like you, I'll always have a soft spot for oatmeal. Not surprisingly, oats find their way into nearly all of my recipes – from pancakes to pastry to today's recipe, a small batch of muffins.
These muffins are based on Lauren's Fudgy Banana and Peanut Butter Oatmeal. But let me tell you, deciding which oatmeal to use as inspiration was no easy task! Lauren has so many flavor combinations that would work perfectly in muffins (or pancakes, or waffles..,). Ultimately, I just couldn't go past this fudgy oatmeal. Peanut butter, chocolate, bananas – count me in.
Borrowing an idea from the new steel-cut version of that recipe, I largely reserved the peanut butter for a topping. Who ever said muffins should have toppings? I don't see why cupcakes get all the fun.
Feel free to use PB2 for the topping (that's what I did). However you'll need a grand total of 2 tablespoons of the real stuff – or another nut butter – for these muffins. There's no butter or oil in this recipe, so that little bit of (healthy) fat makes a big difference.
Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention: these are vegan muffins! As Lauren and her oatmeal are both vegan, it seemed fitting that these muffins should be too. And since they taste just like their non-vegan counterparts, why not?
Have an oatastic week! (Sorry, couldn't resist that one).
What you'll need:
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 large, very ripe banana
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup spelt flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- Peanut butter, or PB2
How to make it:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 7 holes in a muffin pan with cooking oil spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add the banana, and mash very well (you'll have about ½ cup mashed banana).
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla extract.
- Add the spelt flour, cocoa powder, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared muffin pan, filling each hole a little over ¾ of the way up.
- Bake for 18 - 22 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring to a cooking rack.
- Top the muffins with as much peanut butter (or PB2 mixture) as you'd like. If possible, avoid adding the topping until you're about to eat them (especially if using PB2). Enjoy!

Millennials are sick of reading about millennials. So are a lot of other people.
But could the largest generation be the answer to the mess that is our healthcare system?
This baby boomer hopes so.
Why Millennials?
I have never been one for labels. Although I use plenty in reference to me – baby boomer, middle child of 7, Old Lady Walking.
Labels create stereotypes; however, I do believe that the times we live in shape our generations. I prefer looking at the unique and positive traits of a generation.
Gallup released a survey, How Millennials Want to Work and Live, that makes for interesting reading. The following are some of the positive traits I see in millennials.
- Millennials need to feel they make a difference in the world
- If you can tap into what motivates them, you have a powerful force for change
- Millennials do not have much use for "rules" for the sake of rules
Now think about our healthcare system. Can you think of a better fit for the above three traits?
Health Care Is Not Insurance
A fundamental problem with how the U.S. attempts to provide health coverage is viewing health care and insurance as synonymous terms. As a fellow crusader in our industry expressed it ~
We have a health crisis, not an insurance crisis. The insurance crisis is a symptom." Fred Pilot, Pilot Healthcare Strategies
The following are a few of the frightening statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- More than 1/3 (36.4%) of Americans are obese
- Over 29 million Americans have diabetes (86 million live with prediabetes)
- 27.6 million adults have a diagnosis of heart disease
Until we fix the health crisis, any proposed health coverage is like placing a band-aid on a severed artery.
Insurance is all about risk.
I like this analogy Fred recently shared with me in an email – If a third of the homes on a block are run down fire traps and generating fire insurance claims, is that a viable insurance market?
A viable insurance market is one that spreads the risk, whether it's buildings or people. So, if nearly half of all adults have one or more chronic condition, and that doesn't ever change, how do you sustain insurance?
Millennial Change
Gallup-Healthways' well-being report states millennials are more likely than any other age group to exercise and are the least obese age group. That does not mean they don't have their own challenges.
Reports reveal that the millennial generation, more than any other, suffer from depression.
The stigma attached to mental health has been one our country struggles with. I wonder if the higher statistics are valid or are millennials more willing to admit they suffer from depression?
Consider the strong support from millennials for the use of medical marijuana and the legalization of gay marriage. From their vantage point, both make sense. It's that elimination of "rules for the sake of rules."
Do millennials subscribe to the World Health Organization's definition of health?
Health is not only the absence of infirmity and disease, but also a state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing.
Will the millennial take on health upset the rotting apple cart of health coverage?
Community Health
I recently read an article addressing the "fallacies of using health savings accounts to solve our health care problems."
Health savings accounts (HSAs) are tax-advantaged savings accounts designed to pay for qualified medical expenses. HSAs require enrollment in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) that are all the rage right now.
The article's author (a physician) shares a criticism of mine regarding the concept behind health care consumerism. Simply increasing deductibles and out-of-pocket costs will not force a person to become a better consumer.
Despite claims to the contrary, health care is never going to be like online shopping.
The majority of health care spending occurs when patients are very ill. When you are really sick or have a serious illness, are you going to shop for care?" Health Savings Accounts' Dirty Secret And How The GOP Can Fix It
Carolyn McClanahan
Dr. McClanahan proposes a plan that reverts to the purpose of insurance – risk management. Below is a partial summary of her points.
- Keep HSAs but significantly change how we pay for coverage
- Carve out primary care (a reported 30% of the premium cost)*
- Provide primary care through community health centers
- Cover catastrophic care through insurance
*NOTE: The author tweeted the following correction: Paying for primary care through insurance adds 30% to the cost of primary care. Removing primary care from insurance will reduce premiums for catastrophic coverage way more than 30%! 70% of care is primary.
The author projects considerable savings with this approach. For the details person, you can read the links to information in the article.
To illustrate how this works, I created the following infographic, using one of the article's examples.
Time for Something Different?
The above approach is different (which means many will hate it). That may be exactly the reason millennials would get behind it.
Community health centers could become the hub for programs promoting healthy living and lifestyle changes. The centers could be a key resource for developing home care alternatives, as well as education.
Would millennials embrace this or a similar model? It could be a great way to help aging baby boomer parents. You know –that same mom and dad who opened their home to returning millennial children.
When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

With the release of their third album, Above The Weather, Americana band, Leroy Justice, seems poised for a breakthrough into the big leagues. Reminding the listener at time of bands like Band of Horses, Gov't Mule and Perpetual Groove, they deliver a record full of songs with great songwriting and broad themes. Singer and main songwriter Jason Gallagher's plaintive voice is full of emotions that draw you in and don't let go.
But the real star of this album is drummer Josh Karis. The big drum sound is complimented by stellar playing on standout cuts like "Before I Die" and "Heroine," although each member of the band fulfills their roles in perfect synchronicity. The beautiful piano that starts off the track "New Island" acts as a perfect accent to Gallagher's voice. Add to that the background vocals that build into a crescendo of hope and faith.
Music is always in need of bands like Leroy Justice that carry on the tradition of great roots rock music, singing songs of love and the American dream.
Above the Weather is out now on Elm City Music.
