Olga Kurylenko — Crush of the Day
Olga Kurylenko is becoming the go-to hot European actress to co-star in flashy American action flicks. You may remember her from her roles in the 'Hitman' movie adaptation and the 22nd Bond film 'Quantum of Solace.'
The Ukrainian-born model and actress is set to star as the lead psychopath in the upcoming action-comedy 'Seven Psychopaths,' opening October 12.
Kurylenko's story is a pretty dramatic rags-to-riches tale. She lived in a small flat with several family members before becoming a successful actress and starring opposite Daniel Craig in his second 007 movie in 2008.
She began modeling as a teen, and she's since become one of our favorite model-actresses on the big screen thanks to her ultra-sexualized roles. We're looking forward to watching her vamp in 'Seven Psychopaths,' which also stars Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson.

She was obese as a child and her family has a history of diabetes and high blood pressure.
Still, Yvette Fields admits, "I didn't make an effort to get healthy." She even ignored the symptoms and signs of heart disease.
"I cannot recall how many times I heard messages about my predisposition for a stroke or heart attack, and the things I could do to prevent one," said Fields, 48, of South Hempstead, N.Y.
Today, Fields no longer takes her health for granted. A series of strokes in 2002 left her with a lingering weakness in her left side, a limp, constant numbness, swelling and pain in her legs and feet. She's also an insulin-dependent diabetic and takes cholesterol and blood pressure pills daily. She will depend on medication for the rest of her life.
Fields said she misses climbing in and out of the bathtub by herself, wearing high-heels and enjoying amusement parks. She is reminded daily that she has yet to fulfill her dream of becoming an educator and motivator.
But, Fields said, she's blessed to be alive, to have a greater purpose: "If — by sharing the story of all I have lost and all I have gained — I become a resource of education and information, a bearer of a true cautionary tale or maybe just a little inspiration… I will be on my way to living a better life.
"I have learned and now I live."
Read Yvette's blog about her successes and struggles as she strives to live her life to the fullest. She has a powerful voice and is an inspiration to anyone, no matter what you're trying to overcome. NO registration is required just to read. We encourage you to join in the discussion with Yvette. She's on her blog regularly and is eager to hear from survivors, family or friends of survivors, or people simply curious about what happens when you have a stroke. Yvette is extremely open to discussing these issues to anyone willing to ask!

Copy-protected CDs are the Dick Cheney of the music industry: People know they exist, but music labels say little about their whereabouts.
But they may soon be outed. Attorneys from the Pennsylvania law firm Feldman & Rifkin LLP and the California law firm Kaplan, Fox & Kilsheimer LLP are collecting complaints from angry music fans who believe the music CDs they bought are copy-protected without adequate labeling.
Both firms say they may file class action lawsuits against some of the largest record labels. The complaints include alleged "deceptive trade practices" and "breaking labeling laws" by selling music CDs that won't play or cannot be copied on a PC.
Music labels are doing the public a disservice by not clearly labeling copy-protected CDs, says attorney Larry Feldman, whose prospective suit is in the "investigative stage" now. Donald Hall, of Kaplan, Fox & Kilsheimer, confirmed a similar investigation by his firm, but is otherwise tight-lipped. "We are investigating the corruption and copy protection of music CDs in the U.S.," Hall says.
Collecting complaints
Both law firms quietly began collecting names late last week at FatChucks.com, a Web site that lists CDs that consumers believe are restricted. The site has become a rallying place for music fans to post gripes and the names of suspect CDs. So far, the site lists more than 100 CDs that Chuck Heffner, the site's owner, says are likely copy-protected. Another site, Campaign for Digital Rights, is keeping a running tally of allegedly corrupted CDs released in Europe.
"I don't care whether it is Enron or the music industry, adequate disclosure solves lots of problems in life," attorney Feldman says. His firm is familiar with technology lawsuits: It won settlements from Gateway and Iomega in class action suits involving tech support and upgrade promises. It also represents musicians suing for royalties from online streaming music and digital downloads. This week, the law firm began directly accepting complaints about copy protection. Feldman says he has already heard from consumers who say their music CDs won't play on PCs, DVD players, and even some portable audio CD players.
Copy-protected CDs have raised a firestorm of criticism from U.S. music fans who claim a right to copy music they legally purchased. But music labels defend the practice, complaining that music sales are down 10 percent because of music pirates and the Internet.
The music industry blames CD-RW drives for online piracy. It says that stopping customers from making digital copies of music prevents copyrighted tunes from landing on file-sharing networks. The recording industry has fought such services by suing Napster and later pursuing Kazaa and Morpheus. However, most major labels adamantly deny introducing copy-protected CDs surreptitiously into the U.S. market.
Defensive maneuvers
The Recording Industry Association of America says only two copy-protected CDs have been introduced in the United States: Charley Pride--A Tribute to Jim Reeves and More Music From the Fast and the Furious. The trade organization's representatives won't comment on labeling policies, but they do say it's a record label's right to copy-protect its product.
"Virtually every other media product, including movies, video games, e-books, and software, has copy protection," says Jonathan Lamy, RIAA spokesperson. "Why should music be any different?"
Representatives of BMG Entertainment, EMI Group, Sony Music, and Warner Music Group all insist they are not selling copy-protected CDs in the United States, but most are test-marketing the controversial practice in Europe. The recording companies contacted for this report note that some overseas CDs may have inadvertently come to the United States.
Universal Music acknowledges introducing two clearly labeled copy-protected CDs in the United States: Enter the Life of Suella by Pretty Willy and More Music From the Fast and the Furious, a compilation of hard rock, techno, and electronica music. BMG Entertainment, owned by media giant Bertelsmann, says it has begun copy protecting, but only on the promotional releases of the CDs it sends to U.S. radio stations, retailers, and the press.
Heffner says his site proves that the real number of copy-protected CDs released in the United States is far greater than what music labels admit.
"They lie as I breathe," Heffner says. He does not test CDs or verify the complaints he gets, but says he suspects music labels are testing the copy-protection waters by mixing a small number of protected CDs in with larger batches.
Wanted: Disclosure
"The record companies, in their zeal to protect themselves from the horror of online piracy, are forcing consumers to endure the horror of mislabeling copy-protected CDs," Feldman says.
Sony says that it hasn't released any copy-protected CDs in the United States, but that it has shipped about 100 "enhanced" CDs. Those discs, including the Jennifer Lopez CD Ain't It Funny, contain additional multimedia content that may be mistakenly identified as copy protection, Sony representatives say. While enhanced CDs are not easily copied, someone with some technical sophistication can do it, a source says.
Jive is among the smaller labels already selling at least some copy-protected CDs. It put copy protection on the Celebrity CD by 'NSync, one of the first major acts to do so. Jive also handles Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.
An Israeli company that produces copy-protection technology, Midbar, says it has released more than 10 million copy-protected CDs in the United States and Europe. Another such firm, Macrovision, says its technology is used by several major U.S. labels.
Fights on several fronts
As file-swapping networks like Kazaa and LimeWire continue to thrive, "this is the worst time for the music industry to ask the consumer to pay more for a CD and get less in return," says Aram Sinnreich, a Jupiter Research analyst. Although Sinnreich is careful to note that he lacks proof, he suspects labels are selling copy-protected CDs in the United States without proper labeling. "It's consistent with the record labels' modus operandi in the past."
Other analysts don't agree. P.J. McNealy, a media analyst with GartnerG2, doubts record labels are trying to pull a fast one on consumers.
Both analysts say a suit against record labels may not get far. Fair-use rights are hazy when it comes to consumer music CDs, they warn. However, such action may let consumers send a message to record labels that they won't tolerate copy-protected CDs, McNealy says.
Perhaps Congress will hear them, too. Pending legislation would require copy-protection technology on all appropriate "digital devices" unless the entertainment industry and Silicon Valley can find an alternative way to protect copyrighted digital content. Not surprisingly, Hollywood and the music labels favor such action; tech companies generally oppose it.
This week, Gateway launched an ad campaign designed to rally consumers against the copyright-protection bill, saying that making backup copies of legally purchased music CDs should be legal. Worse for Gateway and the tech industry, the proposed legislation could hobble CD drive sales and hurt PC sales.
Previous battles
The legal waters are not completely uncharted. Consumers have a right to make informed choices about the CDs they purchase, says attorney Ira Rothken, who recently settled a similar suit. Rothken represented Californian Karen DeLise, who sued the copy-protection firm SunnComm, distributor Music City Records, and independent label Fahrenheit Entertainment. DeLise unhappily discovered that her new Charley Pride CD contained a SunnComm copy-protection scheme that prevented her from playing the disc in her PC.
As part of the settlement, Music City Records and Fahrenheit Entertainment will provide a more detailed disclosure on CD packaging. They will also stop requiring consumers to enter their names and e-mail addresses as a condition for downloading the music from a Web site, which Rothken contends was a way for the record labels to track listener habits. The settlement does not apply to other secure CDs, though it could be cited in related cases.
"What it comes right down to is, record companies have to give consumers reasonable notice as to how a CD is functionally inferior to the millions of CDs that have come before it," Rothken says. "When a record company wants to deviate from the reasonable expectations of what a CD is, they need to let consumers know."
Back to the standard
The standard for music CDs is the Compact Disc standard--and it isn't copy-protected.
Philips, the Dutch company that with Sony co-created the Compact Disc format almost 20 years ago, is standing boldly against the industry's use of copy-protected CDs.
Philips has warned that discs employing such technologies cannot be classified as compact discs and can't use the "Compact Disc" logo that has been stamped on every CD since the format was developed.
In this battle--involving standards, market opportunities, and consumer preferences--is a tangle of goals and desires.
Recording labels see opportunity in online music, says GartnerG2's McNealy. "All the labels are trying to figure out how to address digital distribution," he said. Copy protection is one part of their plan.
Another part is, quite simply, control. Each label promotes its own paid online-music service, such as MusicNet and Pressplay. Bertelsmann recently announced its intention to acquire a larger stake in Napster, which plans to relaunch as a paid-subscription service.
When you own all the media, you can set the rules--but will anybody buy it?

In November 2014, 36 states held gubernatorial elections, and in January 2015, 11 new governors were sworn in while 25 returned for another term in office. US citizens today – whether welcoming a new leader or continuing with an incumbent – are looking for governors to move beyond austerity. In fact, citizens are anticipating a prosperity agenda focused on growing jobs and the economy, redesigning services to achieve better results with available resources, and paying down the debt that looms as a drag on economic vitality.
There's no doubt it's a tall order for every governor, but it's also a unique opportunity to take on some of their states' toughest challenges in health and human services, education, workforce development, pensions and other areas of public service. And while supporting economic growth and being a prudent steward of state resources will always be at the core of the gubernatorial mission, what's changing is how governors can deliver results that meet or exceed the expectations of those they serve to deliver public service for the future.
When US governors began their terms four years ago on the heels of the Great Recession, they largely pursued austerity agendas that focused on a combination of cutting, taxing and borrowing to balance their budgets. While this approach solved the math problem they faced, it left their constituents paying more for what they were getting, and often getting less.
Based on Accenture research and experience, the public service transformation from austerity to prosperity will be based on three core principles:
Principle 1: One size fits one. Traditional public services have been so standardized that they force citizens to conform to a one-size-fits-all model. Governors can take action to enable individuals to customize the way they interact with and receive services from government. Thanks to innovative technologies, doing so isn't just faster and better, it can also be cheaper.
Principle 2: Action is better than reaction. Fixing what's broken is always more costly than preventing a problem in the first place. With a wealth of data – and a host of analytics tools and methods – governors have the ability to anticipate and proactively address issues. That, in turn, will help ensure the public gets what it wants and needs just in time.
Principle 3: Lead like an entrepreneur. For decades, public management has been too focused on assuring compliance and following rules. Originally intended to prevent fraud and corruption, this "red tape" is now hindering government's ability to deliver results and to do so quickly. In shifting from a public management to a public entrepreneurship mindset, governors can redesign both services and compliance with a focus on results.
From education and workforce development to health and human services, citizens don't want to pay more for or get less from public services—they want to get more for what they are paying. Delivering those results is the challenge and opportunity that lies before every governor. The shift from austerity to prosperity will require a transformation in public service for the future, with state governments re-examining and re-imagining what they do and how based on the three core principles to drive necessary change.

08 – The whereabouts/location of happiness
Agito: I see… So the Meister had a childhood/used to be a child, I've only had adult/grown up Meisters before.
Signum: I've shown you the pictures before haven't I?
Agito: Yeah, I have but seeing it and actually believing/knowing it is another story.
Signum: That's true.
Agito: Hey, when Meister was young, what kind of person was she?
Signum: Well, she was not that different from now. She was a very kind and gentle person and very good at cooking in the past too.
Agito: Okay, the green onion is in… Wait I mean, if that's the case… (can't hear too well)
Signum: Oh?
Agito: If you ate lots of tasty stuff in the past, why is it that you're still have no sense of taste?
Signum: No sense of taste? What are you talking about? I can tell what taste's good and what doesn't.
Agito: I know… That's not what I meant. You're usually never concerned about what you eat. What's up with that?
Signum: Well, since you mentioned it, I guess I should start fixing that.
Agito: Yeah! I would like it if you did. A knight's body is their most important resource. Okay! Here! Try this for me!
Signum: Okay. Hm… It tastes good. It fills the mouth.
Agito: Heheh…
Vita: Huh, the reason why Signum is so unconcerned about her food?
Rein: Yup, that's it.
Vita: Well, I'm not too concerned about any particular sort of food either…
Rein: Oh that's not true at all. Vita-chan gets pretty excited about her food. If it's hamburger and sunny side up eggs together, you go 'fwosh'.
Vita: What are ya? An idiot! That's you!
Rein: Ahaha, yes you do! What I like eating was directly influenced by what Vita-chan likes.
Zafira: Rein, Vita.
Kids: Good afternoon, sorry to bother you!
Rein: Zafira, everyone!
Vita: So practice is over?
Boy: we're here to return the cooler pack that Shamal Sensei lent us.
Rein: Oh, thank you.
Vita: Go ahead and eat. Here! Rein and Agito's fruit punch.
Girl: Is it okay?
Rein: Of course! We made all of this for everyone!
Kids: Okay~! Thanks a lot~!
Rein: Take as much as you like.
Zafira: Sorry about this.
Vita: Don't say that to me, say it Rein and Agito.
Rein: Here you go, Zafira.
Zafira: Thanks.
Rein: Oh! Do you know Zafira?
Zafira: Know what?
Vita: Oh, the reason why Signum doesn't really care about her food? I'm sure there's a reason…
Zafira: I heard it once from her, hm… but I'm not sure if it something I can tel others…
Vita: It's all right. I permit it!
Rein: We'll keep it a secret.
Zafira: Hm… Very well then.
Rein: Please.
Zafira: Signum told me once. The true joy of my meal is eating with the company of her Master, family and friends/comrades. If she cannot, then nothing tastes good or bad.
Rein: Oh…
Zafira: It's not for the sake of family or anyone else. And only enjoying it for her own sake, doesn't suit her/isn't her preference. That is what I heard from her once. (bad translation)
Rein: So that's the reason…
Zafira: Thanks to Agito though, it seems that she's starting to enjoy it more.
Vita: Well, if you just watch/look at her, you can tell that much.
Zafira: This is a secret! It might not look like it, but she becomes very shy/embarrassed by things like this.
Rein: Yes, we'll keep it a secret!

Signum-and-Agito goodness, Zaffy with the kids...and that's so ridiculously sweet for Signum's taste in food (or more accurately, her lack of taste, since for her mealtime is all about the social experience; a gourmand she is not).

Rein: You're right, lots of things happened. There's lots of stuff that I only know too.
Agito: I would have liked to meet the previous Rein!
Rein: I've only met the previous Rein in my dreams. Though it was only a recording of her in my memories, she was a very gentle/kind person.
Agito: Oh I see.
Vita: The fact that Hayate and everyone in this family are able happily laugh like this, I'm sure that she's watching over us and laughing too on the other side of the sky.
Rein: Yup!
Vita: Hey, it looks like Hayate's here now.
Rein: With Signum, Shamal and Zafira!
Agito: Haha, they came down together after all.

A couple AMVs I've made since I posted on this particular thread last...
The first is a Fate T Harlaown Tribute AMV. It's to a fast-paced song.
The second is a comedic Striker S AMV to the song "Barbie Girl" by Aqua. In this AMV, the role of Ken is played by Jail Scaglietti...

Bureau Personnel: Well then, Officer/Enforcer, please look after it again next time.
Fate: Yes, same to you, thanks for your help.
Erio and Caro: Excuse us.
Bureau Personnel: Take care.
Fate: Shari, how's your side?
Shari: Ah, I'm going to spend my time here, you go ahead.
Fate: Really?
Shari: Just so happens that Lightning Squad's two Fowards are already tired.
Erio: Sorry
Caro: Thank you
Fate: Ah, it's almost dusk, we spent too much time, didn't we.
Erio: Yeah
Caro: The sunset's really beautiful, isn't it?
Fate: I still have some time after leaving the Ground Forces HQ, the two of you don't have any work to do, do you?
Caro: Yeah
Erio: We're fine
Fate: In that case, we should go have dinner, right?
Caro and Erio: Ha~, yes
Fate: We'll go have your favorite egg dish. Alto recommended a good restaurant to me.
Fate: The two of you work very hard, are you okay?
Erio: Yes, we're doing our best.
Caro: Everyone says that we work very well together with Subaru-san and Tea-san.
Fate: Though what I say may be a bit strange, but you Forwards are a very good group, regardless if it's just a combination of you two or all four of you together.
Erio: Recently, team battles practices with random combinations have also been increasing. (unsure)
Caro: Like me with Subaru-san, or Erio-kun with Teana-san.
Fate: I see... You know, the truth is, the three of us doing things like this, eating and resting together, it might be nice if we could do more of it...
Erio: Ah, no, Subaru-san and Teana-san are also there, it won't be good if only we get special treatment.
Fate: In the living quarters, Nahoha clearly has a single-person bedroom, but she also has a special precedent to live together with me like this
Erio: That has some reasons after all
Caro: So there'll be guardians so she won't act like a spoiled child (unsure)
Fate: Sort... of
Erio: According to Shari-san and Vice Captain Signum, once the Relic incident and the incidents afterwards are settled smoothly, and the operation period of Riot Force Six is over, we could have a restful life.
Caro: So everyone should work hard to settle this incident, so we could have a restful life with no more problems.
Fate: Un, once the incident's settled, we will have a very long vacation.
Erio: Once the Relic incident is over and Scaglietti's captured, right?
Fate: Un
Caro: Fate-san is always chasing after criminsals. Once you arrest him, we may finally take a vacation without worries
Fate: Ah, un, certainly
Erio: We should also do our best, shouldn't we, Caro?
Caro: Un, Erio-kun!
Fate: Ah, well, but letting the two of you go too all out at work isn't very good either.
Caro: Ehehe, that's true.
Fate: After we eat the tasty omellete and dessert, let's take it easy today, okay?
Caro and Erio: Yes!
Alto: This is Riot Force Six, Long Arch 01. We have an emergency!
Fate: This is Lightning. What's the situation?
Alto: Gadgets have been spotted over the coastline. 12 Type Is and 18 flying Type IIs. They're positioned at Coastal Area 7.
Caro: There are civilians living there.
Alto: And there're no reactions from a Relic...
Fate: Although it's pretty far, we're closer there compared to Riot Force 6. We're dispatching!
Alto: Yes, please do.
Fate: Erio, Caro, I'm sorry, but work comes first.
Caro and Erio: Yes!
Caro: Alto-san, please issue air clearance. Since Fried is also here, it'll be faster if we fly.
Alto: Yes! Permitting Fate-san and Fried to fly over the city areas.
Fate: Bardiche
Erio: Strada
Caro: Kerykeion
All three: Set up!
Caro: Come forth, my dragon, Friedrich. Dragon Soul Summon!
Erio: The movement in enemy's side is strange. Nothing's moving over there.
Caro: The positions of the Type Is and Type IIs are strange too. Don't appearing Gadgets usually roam around?
Fate: This is good if that's the case. Don't lower your guard.
Caro and Erio: Yes
Fate: Let's go
Kerykeion: Safety confirmation
Caro: I've confirmed that it's safe to fire. Fried, Blast Ray!
Erio: Five have been shot down, the remaining are mine. Strada!
Strada: Explosion!
Caro: What I ask for is the protection of a fortress. Be the silver shield for this young lance knight.
Kerykeion: Boost up: Defense Gain.
Erio: Thanks, Caro. With this, I have no worries...
Strada: Stahlmesser!
Erio: Concentrated attack!
Fate: Ha~!
Bardiche: Harken Saber
Alto: 13 units shot down!
Fate: Un
Caro: Fate-san
Fate: Caro, Erio's not with you...
Caro: The 12 ground units are already destroyed. Erio-kun will come right away.
Erio: Altitude's 110. Can you fly that high, Strada?
Strada: Ja!
Erio: Towards Fried's position... Here goes!
Strada: Start!
Fate: Erio! He used Strada to fly this high...
Caro: Fried, we must catch Erio-kun perfectly!
Caro: Erio-kun, you all right?
Erio: Un, Caro!
Caro: Un! Perfect landing!
Erio: Un
Strada: Danke, mein freund.
Fate: That... That was frightening. You were already able to do this kind of thing?
Caro: Yeah. He got it from Nanoha-san recently and he's allowed to practice it in battle.
Erio: Although it's not exactly like Subaru-san's Wing Road in terms of maneuverability, I can already roughly adjust its direction.
Fate: That's great.
Alto: The five remaining units are scattering to escape.
Erio: We're going after them.

David Maletz's Blog
I'm a full time C++ programmer by day, and an indie game developer at night. I enjoy making games, especially ones with interesting mechanics or twists. I've learned a lot of the pitfalls of game development the hard way, but have persevered and started an indie game studio with my wife and some friends called Fancy Fish Games, which I hope to one day make my full time job.

Delicate beauty – the art of blown glass
While I hold respect and admiration for just about every type of art out there. I've always been blown away, no pun intended, by the artists who work with blown glass. I can't imagine the level of skill and precision it must take to develop such amazing pieces out of such a frail medium.
Here are a few visual samples:

When you see the revamped Dodger Stadium, you may wonder, at least at first, where that $100 million went.
A nine-figure budget usually produces a major overhaul or architectural transformation. But the changes that the new owners of the team, Guggenheim Baseball Management, carried out at Chavez Ravine over the offseason are not especially dramatic, at least not visually.
The most obvious changes fans will see at Monday's opening game against the Giants are to the scoreboards beyond the outfield, which are bigger and show high-definition images while retaining their old chevron shape. Many of the upgrades, such as new locker rooms and batting cages, are sunk beneath the stadium. Others are technological, including a beefed-up wireless system.

But it would be wrong to think that the improvements, overseen by Janet Marie Smith, the Dodgers' senior director of planning and development, are meant to be subtle or mostly about infrastructure. In fact they aim to change how fans think about and interact with Dodger Stadium in some fundamental and fascinating ways.

Because of the "Overgrown Hairy Muskeg Rats That are Hiding & Waiting" For their free meal after the gun goes off ! Field dressing with someone at Point !
Is your Shot Gun a Teflon Coating or is that Camoe Tap From Wallie World ? ROTFLOL
You guy's from IOWA are so Witty !
I believe my shotgun is hydro dipped with a protective clear coat over the top. I have a 18.5" smooth bore barrel that is dipped to match as well, it was the original barrel the gun came with. I put the rifled slug barrel on. Inevitably the hydro dipping will get scuffed up in the woods and when that happens I'm going to take the finish off. The poly furniture is black underneath and if I can get all the finish off, it'll still look good. The gun store I bought it from had 2 at the time, this one and a black one. I wanted the black one, mostly because it was $50 cheaper, but my bonus check came about 5 days late and he sold it so I had to settle for the camo one. He gave me a deal on it though and sold it to me for the same price he sold the black one for.
Here's the website for the company that makes it: http://www.adaptivetactical.com/product ... system.php I see their prices went up since I last looked.....
Also, no extra charge for the sarcasm. Kind of like the government, it's a free service I offer whether it's wanted or not
I bought some Alumagrips plain, from MidwayUSA, and plan to have someone do double diamond checkering on them, then have them Cerakoted some color like reddish brown, hopefully.
I never could understand why those guys never have offered their P-14 grips with Double Diamond checkering.
That's one thing you could do to get nice grips, although not wood.
Just a thought.
I know I will be ostracized for this, but I like the original grips. I have large hands and these
grips feel fine.

Colombia to investigate deadly building collapse
MEDELLIN, Colombia (AP) — Colombia's chief prosecutor says his office is investigating the manager of the company that was building a tower that collapsed in the city of Medellin over the weekend, killing at least one person and leaving another 10 missing.
Eduardo Montealegre told a Thursday news conference that those found responsible for problems with the building's construction could face manslaughter charges carrying a minimum of two years in prison. He says those being questioned include the manager of the construction company Lerida CDO.
Workers on Tuesday recovered the body of a 23-year-old student. Nine workers and a security guard were missing after entering the building to inspect a crack in a column before it collapsed Saturday night.
The 22-story tower was partially inhabited and in its final phase of construction.

SEATTLE — Pike Place Market. The Space Needle. Pioneer Square. Check, check and check.
If you've hit these obvious Seattle destinations, you're not a newbie. But maybe you're not an insider either.
So, this 21-stop Seattle checklist is for you. It skirts those three attractions and several other popular stops to make more room for Ballard, Capitol Hill, Fremont and the University District — four asset-rich Seattle neighborhoods my family and I explored on a visit last summer. Right about now, as Seattleites embrace the (maybe) warmer weather and longer days of summer, these neighborhoods are increasingly busy.

A cougar was sighted in the East Courtenay area today, (Friday, Feb.8), according to Comox Valley RCMP.
RCMP responded to the cougar sighting at 6:50 a.m. in the 400 block of Cowichan Avenue in Courtenay.
RCMP and conservation officers were not able to locate the cougar.
"No aggressive behaviour was reported, however, we are wanting to remind the public to be cougar aware," says Const. Kelly Godard with the RCMP.
Here are a few tips from the RCMP:
-Never approach a cougar
-Always give a cougar an avenue to escape
-Do not run; back away slowly
-Do not turn your back on a cougar; face the cougar and remain upright
-Do everything you can to make yourself seem big; don't crouch down or try to hide, instead, pick up sticks or branches and wave them around
For more information, visit http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wld/documents/cougsf.htm.
Cougar sightings should be reported to the local conservation office at 250-334-3281 or to the RCMP at 250-338-1321.

Carolina Cancer Services annual D&D Ball is a great chance to win money and prizes, while also giving somebody with cancer a great chance to have a better life, said the Rev. Ray Nance Howell IV, director of patient services for the nonprofit organization.
Carolina Cancer Services annual D&D Ball is a great chance to win money and prizes, while also giving somebody with cancer a great chance to have a better life, said the Rev. Ray Nance Howell IV, director of patient services for the nonprofit organization.
"We need help so that we can help people," Howell said. "Cancer is a devastating disease. It takes everybody on some level. We want to help people in this county that have it. We depend on the support of the community, churches, individuals and local businesses in order to help these people."
Heavy hors d'oeuvres, auctions and live music will take place 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 16 at Twelve West Main in Thomasville. Tickets are $50 per person.
"Food, band, auction, dancing ... it should be a very fun night," said executive director Gary Drake. "Just come out and enjoy yourself."
The annual signature event assists the organization with providing emotional, financial and physical support to local residents and families. The agency also educates, promotes awareness and provides other assistance to individuals fighting cancer. Clients receive help with medication, transportation, day-to-day necessities, equipment and supplies.
"All money raised will go to families in Davidson County battling the disease. (Cancer) turns your life upside down," Drake said.
Officials estimate that close to 300 people attend each year. Music will be provided by Second Wind. There will be adult beverages and door prizes too.
The live auction will be conducted by Byerly Shoaf and Company. Things in the auction include trips, flat screen televisions, a lake house stay, jewelry, furniture and restaurant dinners. Drake mentioned some items include someone winning a chance to win Second Wind as a performer and the venue being auctioned for an event at no charge.
Something new this year is a raffle drawing of $10,000 in cash. Tickets are $100 and only 300 have been printed. The drawing will take place at the event. Individuals do not have to be present to win. Tickets can be purchased online at www.carolinacancerservices.org or by calling 249-7265.
Carolina Cancer Services is a United Way agency. They have two big fundraisers each year — the Walk, Run, Ride and the D&D ball. Those events account for a big share of the agency's budget. The organization is currently helping close to 100 people each month that are battling cancer. That amount does not include the family support.
"I think we're doing pretty good," Drake said. "We have a lot of things in place. We're seeing more clients every month. We're helping them. People feel good that we're here. I think the community has received us well coming into this. I appreciate it. They've been supported. We know they care. We just need them to care more for a good cause."
Howell commended other organizations that raise money toward finding a cure for cancer. He noted that with their organization they are trying to help people who have cancer right now.
"We need to look to the future, but the present is here right now," he said. "We provide a place of hope through our support groups. It's really uplifting. We want to be able to provide that hope to more people."

Much of alcohol's benefit to heart health has to do with how it increases HDL "good" cholesterol levels. Here, we uncork the what, how, and how much of alcohol for heart health.
What's your poison? At the right serving size, it may not be poison at all. While red wine is most closely tied to heart health, other types of alcohol can provide the same benefits.
The best-documented mechanism for alcohol's preventive power, according to Cleveland Clinic heart specialists Steven Nissen, MD, and Marc Gillinov, MD, authors of HEART 411: The Only Guide to Heart Health You'll Ever Need, is the way it changes cholesterol, specifically HDL, the "good" kind.
Drs. Nissen and Gillinov write that moderate alcohol consumption, defined as a drink per day for women and two per day for men, can raise HDL cholesterol by roughly 12 percent. An increase in of that level, they write, is similar to the effects of an aerobic exercise program.
So is a drink after work just as good for you as a trip to the gym? Maybe not exactly the same — but close enough to consider alcohol part of heart-healthy lifestyle, they say.
Additionally, alcohol blocks the oxidation of LDL, which prevents fatty plaques from forming in the arteries. Research shows that alcohol may also avert blood clotting (and the heart attacks they cause) by thinning the blood, and stopping platelets and certain proteins that cause the blood to clot.
Nissen and Gillinov both prefer red wine. They say their bias has more do to with taste, but studies point to red wine's benefits over other types of alcohol: polyphenols. They're compounds with antioxidant properties that can prevent blood clots, too. You may have heard of the most-studied polyphenol, resveratrol.
If a rich cabernet or merlot isn't your thing, sipping on white wine, beer, or other spirits at the same level of moderation can have similar effects on HDL cholesterol and blood clotting.
How Does Your Glass Measure Up?
Watch that heavy hand when pouring a drink. The amount of alcohol consumed is crucial to its benefits, so make sure you're not exceeding the recommended amount. Nissen and Gillinov cite research that defines a single drink as: one and a half ounces of liquor, five ounces of wine, or 12 ounces of beer. They also point out that older drinkers may not be able to metabolize alcohol as well as someone in middle age. For people in their seventies and eighties, they advise no more than one drink per day.

Like most of America, I'm fixated on the cast of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2's every dang move. Is Jenelle still dating Courtland? Is Kailyn still engaged? And for heaven's sake, are Maci and Ryan back together yet!!? Their relationship statuses ain't the only thing that's changed, though. Since their rise to fame, a handful of the girls have gotten plastic surgery to drastically change parts of their appearance. From boob jobs to nose jobs to chin implants, I'm having a hard time keeping up, let alone recognizing, these mamas.
So I thought, hell, wouldn't it be nice to take a look back on their pre-reality TV days and see just how much going under the knife has changed these girls? Yeah, it would. So take a look at Farrah Abraham, Maci Bookout, and Jenelle Evans pre- and post-plastic surgery. It's a total shocker!

some bloody violence
View movie reviews
A dark and violent story that follows Lorna (Gershon) a strong-willed Texas woman who's had enough of her untrustworthy husband Dale's (Kilmer) criminal acts and lack of husbandry.
Fed up, she enlists the help of her old friend, Tiny (Giddish), to help her figure out what to do with Dale after his latest double-cross. The girls brainstorm about what to do with the hapless Dale while they medicate themselves with only the best of prescriptions, Tennessee whiskey - which leads them to bigger problems.
When Sheriff Cooley (Liotta) inconveniently enters the conundrum, the story evolves into a tale of revenge and survival that resolves in true Texas fashion: bold and ruthless.

Ofcom begged to protect minicab, other small-biz's radio spectrum
You did it for the luvvies
The Federation of Communication Services, trade body to the UK's private radio operators, is calling for Ofcom to step away from the free market when it comes to spectrum regulation.
The Federation, representing more than 300 UK companies with interests in private radio, has published a 14-point advisory for Ofcom's consideration (pdf, don't try unless you're really interested). That advisory is intended to feed into the regulator's five-year plan and argues that the existing, market-driven, approach to spectrum licensing is costing the UK both economically and socially.
Private radios are used by all sorts of businesses, typically taxi companies but actually everyone from event coordinators to school teachers. Many conform to the "MPT1327" standard which uses digital signalling to manage analogue voice channels and operate in a licensed band around 200MHz, while others are straight analogue systems.
One might imagine that in these days of ubiquitous mobile coverage the days of Private Radio would be numbered, but the Federation members reckon overall use of Private radio will double by 2017, which means business users are going to need more radio spectrum.
That means Ofcom needs "to act in the interests of the UK rather than just consumers", and stop relying on auctions to promote spectral efficiency.
Ofcom's policy is to sell radio spectrum to the highest bidder, on the understanding that the more someone pays the greater their incentive to fill the airwaves efficiently, with income for the exchequer being a happy coincidence. Government departments can state their case for exemptions, but even when they do Ofcom will make them pay market rates.
Meanwhile the Federation reckons businesses are losing out.
An oft-touted example of the kind of action the Federation wants is the spectrum now reserved for professional wireless microphones. Such microphones contribute to the good of the country, providing entertainment on stage and screen, but they also contribute to the economy thanks to a thriving theatre business which brings in tourists, so (after some campaigning) Ofcom has maintained a reservation for such users.
Television, in the form of Freeview, similarly doesn't pay market rates for its radio spectrum. Freeview, and traditional radio, couldn't survive economically if it had to compete with the mobile operators for spectrum, so it gets a free allocation.
Which is what the Federation of Communication Services would like Ofcom to provide for Private Radio users, ideally something in the 700MHz band which Ofcom has suggested clearing by shuffling Freeview down the dial in 2018. That would be too late for the 2017 doubling of traffic the Federation predicts, but other mitigation could be applied, assuming that Ofcom agrees that Private Radio users need special protection and shouldn't fight for their radio waves like (almost) everyone else. ®

Playa Vista Elementary School was recently honored by the Los Angeles Business Council, winning the "Green Building" award at the organization's annual architectural awards.
The school, which has a partnership with the LMU School of Education, was lauded for its eco-friendly design, which LMU officials helped craft during the design and construction phase of its facilities.
"This is a great honor for Playa Vista Elementary School and recognition of LMU's commitment to working hand-in-hand with the community and Los Angeles Unified," said Shane Martin, dean of the School of Education. "Our collaboration with PVES shows how successful educational partnerships can make a difference in the lives of our community's children."
As part of the school's unique partnership, School of Education faculty provide research-based teaching methods, best practices, and professional development for the school. The LMU Center for Urban Resilience provides environmental curricula tied to the nearby Ballona Creek watershed.
The university has also provided funding for textbooks, classroom technology, and volunteers to work with students in science labs.
Martin and other LMU faculty and staff met regularly with the design team prior to completion of the school. Several of their ideas are reflected in the architecture, such as the open classroom ceilings, whose exposed pipes and cables can be used as a learning tool.
The school facility achieved a LEED Platinum rating, and includes many "green" features, including a geothermal and solar-equipped energy system.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Post says it will stop calling Washington's football team the "Redskins" on its editorial page.
The paper's editorial board announced Friday that it will refrain from using the term that it says "unquestionably offends not only many Native Americans but many other Americans, too."
The board operates independently of the paper's newsgathering operation. The Post will continue to use "Redskins" in the news and sports sections.
The board noted that it has been speaking out against the Redskins name since 1992.
Several major newspapers have stopped using the name altogether. CBS lead analyst Phil Simms said this week he will likely avoid the name when he announces a Washington game this season.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder has vowed never to change the name, saying it honors Native Americans.

An allergy is a heightened sensitivity to a foreign substance (called an allergen) that causes the body's defense system (the immune system) to overreact when defending itself.
Normally, the immune system would only react if a harmful substance, such as bacteria, attacks the body. For people with allergies, their immune systems are working too hard and react even when relatively harmless substances, such as pollen, are present. The severity of an allergic reaction can vary from mild discomfort to life threatening situations.
Allergens can stimulate an immune response when you breathe in or touch the allergen, or by ingestion of food or beverage, or from injections of medication.
Common allergies include eczema, hives, hay fever, and asthma. You can get an allergic reactions from food, pet dander, airborne pollen, and the venom of stinging insects, such as wasps and bees. Treatments for allergies include avoidance, use of anti-histamines, steroids or other medications, and immunotherapy to desensitize the allergic response.
Weather plays an important part for many allergy sufferers. This is why we include the extended weather forecast weather forecast on Pollen.com. We are not weather forecast specialists therefore we get this data from the experts at NOAA and Weather Trends.
Our allergy forecasts include daily allergy reports that note the pollen count for your location. Find out more about our Allergy Alerts™ that can be mailed directly to your inbox. This allergy information can help sufferers manage their allergy symptoms.
This skin test cannot classify all allergies, however it does cover major categories, such as common respiratory allergies, penicillin, food, and insect stings. Being aware of your allergy could prevent a future allergic reaction that could be life threatening.
The children of those with allergies have a greater chance of having allergies themselves. As a result, doctors often learn about a patient's allergies based on family and personal medical records.
Finally, doctors find clues in the recent activities patients engage in by asking a battery of questions to gauge allergy information. For example, to determine whether your reaction is a result of food, airborne or chemical allergens, the doctor might ask, "Have you eaten anything unusual recently?", "Have you been working or exercising vigorously outdoors?" or "Did you come into contact with anything which might have irritated your skin and eyes?" Your doctor will likely ask if you suffer from asthma, since allergies increase the risk of an asthma attack.

Part I
Hi! My name is Alexei (aka Karanak), and Im one of concept artists working on Star Conflicts(http://www.star-conflict.com/en/) design. Today were starting a making of series with this post about one of the largest ships in the game. Ill guide you through the work process.
So, heres the task: make a huge ship-carrier, which will serve as a clan dreadnought for the Federation of Free Planets faction. The ships in-game size is 10 km long. Naturally its a carrier for smaller ships, but its also armed with multiple firing systems. Thats what well talk about today. But first, I want to say a couple of words about the whole idea behind the dreadnoughts appearance.
As soon as I received the order to create this ship, I started to look for inspiration: digging through piles of previous sci-fi works and searching for something capable of sparking my creative thoughts about the monster I was after. No proper inspiration was found. Then I went through some special space fantasy blogs still nothing. I hadnt found anything that even came close to what I was looking for, neither with this enormous size nor with the firepower and functionality of a carrier. So, I turned to the classics. I came across some artwork and screen grabs from Star Wars, and they gave me precious inspiration.
I started making sketches to get my rough ideas down on paper. After coming up with some variations I finally had something to choose between:
Once the generic view was established, I switched to the ships weaponry design. I was expected to make several types of weapons such as mounted AA guns (which will be manned by the player); the main heavy caliber weapons (enormous laser turrets supposed to fire at enemy ships of an appropriate size); smaller laser batteries; and rocket-launching towers.
Well, lets start with the AA complex. Id been thinking about the overall concept for a long time by then. The main idea was to design an automatically controlled turret with its own power generator, so it could be independent from ships mainframe. The sketches didnt take much time to be made, and heres how they looked:
After that I started making 3D sketches with Google Sketchup. I began with the optical sensor section responsible for targeting. The sections had several mounted cameras on it, able to rotate in multiple axes.
When that section was ready I switched to the body of the module, which had an elliptical platform in its base (since it was necessary for the module to contain its own power generator).
Barrels were put into a system of magnetic receivers that were supposed to be able to slide around the curved side of the modules power generator.
And last but not least I had to invent an appropriate attachment mechanism for the whole module. It was given a sliding lock to give it mobility in the horizontal axis.
Finishing the model I copied it into a blank Photoshop layer and gave it some after-effects. I merged the material render from Hypershot and a screenshot from Google Sketchup to enhance the picture without spending much time on it.
Maybe Ill give more details on how I designed that module later, but for now lets move on to the next object.
Next on my list was a small laser turret. This module was designed to carry a lightweight laser gun. Such a weapon would not be able to saw a light fighter in half, but would still be capable of causing severe damage with its pulsing heat beams. This is the sketch of it:
Then I returned to the Google Sketchup environment and began modeling a basic concept. I started with the barrel. It was given a pair of radiators to exhaust excess heat. The element emitting the laser beam was designed as a spiral-shaped block. When spinning fast enough, it would be able to channel a static beam generated inside the turret.
The next step was making a box stuffed with electronic devices and a locator mounted on the top of the container
And finally I made sketch of the turret base that holds the barrel itself. The base is capable to move in vertical and horizontal axis and has wide angle of fire. The laser battery is also installed on it.
In conclusion I improved the look with small details and painted the dummy in slightly different color tones.
Then same as for the AA turret I remastered it in Photoshop and composed a concept list.
Now its time for another gun.
his time it is a heavy laser weapon of enormous size. Basically it has something in common with main caliber cannons mounted on nowadays line ships. This gun is obviously supposed to be the main attack unit designed to destroy enemy spacecrafts of similar size. By design, these lasers will be dreadnoughts killers.
This is how the first sketch of it looked like:
The weapon has two barrels. A large independent generator is placed between them. So, I began my work in Google SketchUp. I started with one of the barrels.
After that when the basic shapes of the barrel were ready I began creating the central part - the portion of the gun which contains the generator and all necessary attachments.
Then the base of the turret was made. I took the smaller laser turret base for beginning, made some changes in the whole modules design. Added some geometry and small details.
Next step adding even more visual features. This is a gun that requires a lot more details to be shown so I had to dig in and make these details.
Then I improved texture of the shell, put some details to main junctions and voila the gun is ready!
The final colored picture was decided to be shown later since I started running out of time with the weapon design. This is how the final list looked like
The last item in the current list of weaponry rocket launchers. I believed that it should be completely classic: a box with an impressive number of rocket slots on a rotating block.
Started with a dummy of the main container. Pretty simple.
In conclusion I made a base that would carry the main portion of the gun
The final image was designed just like the picture of the previous weapon.
At this moment the order for dreadnought weaponry is complete. Maybe there will be additional requests in future but now I have to move to the next part spaceships hull design. But this is a different story which Ill tell later

How to Replace Your Laptop Hard Drive
On some laptops, switching drives is as easy as undoing a latch, sliding the drive caddy out, removing a couple of screws, swapping drives, and then repeating the previous steps in reverse. But on other machines, the hard drive is buried under the keyboard or motherboard, without an access panel. Dealing with this type of design entails removing dozens of screws, the keyboard deck, the keyboard, the motherboard, and many parts and connectors.
If you want to replace your drive, you need to know whether your laptop requires an older 44-pin ATA-style drive or a newer edge-connector SATA drive; the former are found only in older laptops. You can still find ATA drives?as well as some ATA SSDs?but you might be better off using a small SATA-to-ATA bridge adapter. At this writing, no 2.5-inch, greater-than-2.2GB drives are available for laptops, but if you're reading this down the road, you may also encounter a small issue requiring a BIOS upgrade.
Gather Your Tools
To replace your hard drive, you'll need (at a minimum) a high-quality small-head Phillips screwdriver; you may also need hex-head Torx drivers and with recent Macs, a pentagonal driver. Ideally, you would use a good multitool with a comfortable grip and swappable flat, Phillips, and Torx tips of appropriate size for laptops, cell phones, and the like. Thin-handled jeweler's screwdrivers are undesirable because they may not allow you to apply enough force
For some laptops, you may also need a spudger?a plastic or metal tool that you can use to gently pry apart pressure-fit plastic parts. Older Mac laptops are infamous for requiring spudgers, but many other laptops also call for some gentle prying before they'll grant access to their guts. If your spudging skills aren't well developed, stick with plastic versions; they wear out more quickly, but they're less likely to scratch metal surfaces or cause electrostatic damage. Spudgers are inexpensive, too, so you can grab an array of thicknesses and shapes at little cost.
Thin-nose tweezers can be handy on occasion, too. If possible, use a pair with angled tips, so you can see what you're gripping, without your hands getting in the way. Angled thin-nose tweezers are great for gently prying open latches and for pulling screws out of wells. Another practical item is a multibay container where you can park screws and other small removable parts, especially if your project involves removing many different parts. No one wants to be stuck staring at a bunch of similar, yet different screws and trying to sort them out post facto.
If you're not familiar with the numerous small connectors that laptops may include, a magnifying glass can help you spot tiny catches that might break if you attempted to pull a plug out of a connector with the latch still attached, or might result in your accidentally pulling a receptacle free from a circuit board. If possible, use a magnifying glass to watch for the following factors that could damage your laptop.
Know the Risks
Hidden fasteners
When you're disassembling a laptop or other device, don't try to force things apart. In all likelihood, if you have to exert more than modest force to remove or separate parts, a hidden screw or fastener is holding up progress. You may need to remove another part or turn the unit over to find what's holding things together. Many laptop manufacturers hide important screws under rubber feet, labels, and panels for aesthetic reasons; but you can seriously damage your laptop by attempting to wrench it apart while some screws are still in place.
Some tiny connectors have latches that are difficult to spot. If a cable doesn't coming out as easily as you think it should, take the time to look for a latch.
Hidden cables are another common laptop hazard. All parts of a laptop other than shields and miscellaneous plastic are connected electrically, and if a socket isn't handling the job, a cable is. Ribbon cables and wire cables run from the keyboard deck (the upper half housing the keyboard and touchpad, among other things) to the motherboard, from daughter boards to the motherboard, from the motherboard to the base, from the modem to the motherboard, and so on. Other cables connect the touchpad, the finger swiper, the status lights, the speakers and any other components embedded in the keyboard deck.
Removing ribbon cables generally entails flipping up a tab at the back of the slot where the cable terminates. Wire cable connectors usually terminate in pressure-fit connectors that must be pried out. Sometimes you may have to depress a small catch. A spudger handles this task very well.
When disassembling a laptop, it pays to be organized and to take notes. For example, when I need to perform a complex breakdown that I've never done before, I either video the disassembly procedure or take photos that show where the screws and parts belong at each major step. This approach may seem laborious, but it can be a tremendous help when you reassemble your laptop. That said, don't go crazy: If all you have to worry about are four identical screws, don't bother.
Hard Drive Removal Tips and Tricks
Most hard drives are mounted on rails or metal frames with screws, rubber grommets, or other shock-reducing technology. You'll need to reuse these rails or frames when mounting your new drive, so take care not to lose them during the swap. Usually, the screws from the old drive will fit the new one, but different hard drive vendors may use screws with a different thread pitch. Your replacement drive will have shipped with its own screws; if these aren't long enough or are unsuitable for some other reason, you may need to visit your local computer store.
On older ATA hard drives, an adapter may cover the connection pins. You must remove this adapter for reuse with the new drive, but perform the operation cautiously; if you don't grab the adapter in the middle and pull it straight back, you may bend the connector pins. When this happens, you can try to force them back into position, but straightening them isn't easy, and they sometimes break off entirely.
If you can't get a firm enough grip to pull the adapter off, try to pry it up gently with your tools?but do so in tiny increments, first on one side and then the other, alternating until the adapter falls off.
Side-mounted hard drives
The easiest hard drives to replace are those in laptops that use side-mounted, removable drive caddies or trays. Usually, a latch or screw holds the drive in place, and typically that fastener is accessible from the bottom of the laptop. Undo the latch, or remove the screw or screws; slide out the tray; and replace the drive.
Under an access panel
Many laptop designers situate their hard drives under a removable panel located on the bottom of the machine. Remove the panel; detach any retaining clips, screws, or frames; and slide the drive out. Usually, you'll have to pull backward to free the drive from its connector, and then lift the drive up and out.
Under the keyboard or motherboard
On laptops where the hard drive is located in one of these places, your job is a lot tougher. Carefully store the removed parts in a logical, organized manner, however, and you'll find the task time-consuming but not impossible.
Though the particulars vary, the disassembly procedure should go something like this:
Flip the laptop over and remove the screws that hold the keyboard deck in place. Remove the keyboard deck. This may require sliding a spudger along the seam between the lower portion of the case and keyboard deck to release snaps that may be holding the two together. Some modern units are sealed, so don't assume that there's an easy way in. If you discover that your laptop vendor used hot glue to hold things together, you might want to farm out the chore?it's easy to mess things up with heat.
Remove the keyboard and other components that hide the hard drive or prevent you from dislodging the motherboard. This step may involve taking out screws; peeling back tape; detaching components such as modems and Wi-Fi modules; and detaching clamped ribbon cables, regular cables, or antennas with pressure-fit connectors. You may also have to remove metal RF shields. Be gentle and reread the section on hazards, above.
If the hard drive is situated under the motherboard, you can probably remove the latter after taking out a few more screws. However, the ports integrated onto the motherboard protrude out the case, so you may have to jockey the motherboard as you pull it out. Again, be alert for hidden cables.
Stop the disassembly process as soon as you have access to the hard drive. I've seen drives that were taped in place, screwed down, or held in position by fancy hardware. I've also encountered drives that lay loose after I removed a shield or panel. None of these various circumstances pose a special challenge; but carefully observe what's there, and above all don't force things.
Once you've successfully removed your old hard drive, simply reverse the procedure to insert the new drive and reassemble the laptop. Enjoy your rehabilitated laptop!

lately i have been spending the most of my time painting.
so i took a little time off and spent a day carving this piece out.
wood is the newest material that i tried out and it is probably my favorite to work with.
the process is a lot more challenging than other material but i do love the natural look of the surface. there a lot more to do with this piece but so far i'm really happy how she turned out. it is difficult for me to control the expression of the face when i'm using wood as material. with this piece i feel like i was able to carved out the expression that i was searching for...
anyway here is a image
work in progress: natural look:)

I hope this link works... We have been very lucky to have this fabulous children's hospital nearby when we've needed it. They were able to diagnose Kathleen with having had a stroke at 5 years old and then diagnosed with a very rare disease called moyamoya. She has since had many health issues that have required the expertise of their wonderful pediatric specialists.

A research team has made an advance in understanding the causes of Adult-acquired flat feet - a painful condition particularly affecting middle-aged women.
Adult-acquired flat foot is most common in women over 40 and often goes undiagnosed. The condition results from the gradual 'stretching out' over time of a tendon near the ankle bone - the tibialis posterior tendon - which is the main stabiliser of the foot arch.
The causes of this stretching are not fully understood though some believe wearing high heels and standing or walking for long periods may play a role. Known risk factors for the condition include obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
Working with surgeons and scientists, the team showed that the structure and composition of tendon specimens had changed and found evidence of increased activity of some proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes can break down the constituents of the tibialis posterior tendon and weaken it - causing the foot arch to fall.
We have shown that similar changes also take place in other painful tendon conditions such as Achilles tendonitis, so this advance may ultimately result in an effective alternative to surgery for many patients.
The team stressed that new treatments could be 10-15 years away. Further research was now needed into which specific proteolytic enzymes should be targeted and whether people could be genetically predisposed to tendon injuries of this type.
Foot problems are an important and not sufficiently recognised cause of pain and disability in the elderly. Ageing changes to the supporting tendons contribute to these problems and this research represents a first step to successfully unraveling some of the complex biochemistry that regulates tendon disorders – knowledge that could have a major impact on developing simple but effective therapeutic choices in the not so distant future.

Comic-Con! ĀI am probably at Booth... let's say 1330. ĀThat sounds about right. ĀSure, why not. ĀJust findĀJoel WatsonĀand look to your left or right. During my absence, I have prepared for you some comics and arts I have recently published to Tumblr but not yet here. ĀIn direct tonal dissonance with Wednesday's heartwarming update, here's a Tumblr comic I drew in which I brutally destroyed my own childhood, corrupting its memory with horrible acts of depravity. Ā For those of you who didn't do most of your cartoonwatching from the church library, here's a context-providingĀYouTube link. For a godfearing 10-year-old cartoonist like myself, McGee and Me was some compelling stuff. ĀIt was no Superbook, but what is, really.

This bar smells absolutely incredible and melts on your skin like heaven! I ordered coconut lime.
There was a little mixup with my order and GoodVibes was quick to resolve! I appreciate them! Thank You
My boyfriend and I got this on a whim, and we love it! It doesn't leave a greasy or oily residue on your skin, and it smells absolutely delicious. Perfect for a romantic, sensual night in bed.
We had so much fun with this product. We're going to tell everyone about it!
Found these a while back, and had to return for more. They melt slowly with the warmth of your skin, and leave a silky softness behind. No greasiness to ruin your nice sheets or fancy lingerie. Just a lovely scent that lingers, and a smooth feel under your fingers to enjoy. They last a while too, they don't just melt away with one use. I give them as gifts to friends I know well, and everyone loves them. You will be coming back for more, just like me!
These things will last quite a while and you can employ them for multiple uses. Coconut lime smells like an absolute dream, and these bars don't leave a film or a slick spot over your skin at all. Plus, they feel absolutely wonderful against your skin.
--from our reviewer, Rhiannon
This massage bar is fantastic. At room temperature, the bar is a solid. However, when it is in your hands, and as it's rubbed across your lover's skin, it begins to melt into a rich and luscious massage oil with an intoxicating scent.
--from our reviewer, Mr. Pegging
This is hands down my favorite massage product. It's easy to control how much you use and where it goes. It's long lasting and a little goes a long way. I've used the bar 4 or 5 times and I'm not even half way through. The morning dew scent is my favorite. It smells so good- fresh and clean.
I just had a chance to try out the Rub Me Massage Bar in pomegranate mint, and was thoroughly pleased.
First, the scent is wonderful and relaxing, which really helped to put me in the mood for a slow, gentle massage.
Second, the bar warms quickly to skin, and leaves a non-greasy, smooth trail of massage wax. The wax rubs in quickly, yet leave enough butter on the skin to last the whole massage.
Third, I was afraid that the bar would melt too quickly, or that I wouldn't get many uses out of it, however that doesn't appear to be the case. After a nice, relaxing massage, I was pleased to learn that I had barely put a dent in the bar. A little goes a long way!
The only improvement I can see for the Rub Me Massage Bar is that the scent can be a little overpowering at times. It's a beautiful scent, at least the pomegranate mint that I used is, however it would be that much nicer if it were a bit more subtle. All in all though, the Rub Me Massage Bar is a wonderful addition to any massage!
