The problem is that I can't find the receipt. Is there a way for me to get a refund without the receipt? groovychick (Level 1) 15 Dec 2018 11:36, updated 28 Nov 2016, published Edit Comment Follow Report 0 0 Tweet Answers (1) gices (Level 5) 28 Nov 2016 17:36 0 Comments Yep, you can. I bought 2 angle brackets from B&Q before which were around £8.50 for the pair. Back home when I tried them, it was not working as I expected. So I decided to return them. One week later, when I finally found the time to go back to B&Q, I couldn't find the receipt. I looked everywhere, checked every pocket and bags but it was no where to be found. I was doing a lot of DIY and it probably got misplaced I think. Anyway, I went onto Internet Banking and printed out transactions for the last 2 weeks. At the return/exchange counter, I told the lady I lost my receipt and she said she would be able to find the transaction by looking up the date they were purchased against the barcode of the items. I didn't really need the bank statement but I think it was very helpful to prove I did actually make the purchase at that particular store. I got my money back on the bank card I used. So don't worry about the receipt, just bring the product back and you'll get your refund. Edit Report 0 0 Question Closed We are not accepting any new answers for this question.

About William Shakespeare
See more books from this Author
William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616 Although there are many myths and mysteries surrounding William Shakespeare, a great deal is actually known about his life. He was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, son of John Shakespeare, a prosperous merchant and local politician and Mary Arden, who had the wealth to send their oldest son to Stratford Grammar School. At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, the 27-year-old daughter of a local farmer, and they had their first daughter six months later. He probably developed an interest in theatre by watching plays performed by traveling players in Stratford while still in his youth. Some time before 1592, he left his family to take up residence in London, where he began acting and writing plays and poetry. By 1594 Shakespeare had become a member and part owner of an acting company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men, where he soon became the company's principal playwright. His plays enjoyed great popularity and high critical acclaim in the newly built Globe Theatre. It was through his popularity that the troupe gained the attention of the new king, James I, who appointed them the King's Players in 1603. Before retiring to Stratford in 1613, after the Globe burned down, he wrote more than three dozen plays (that we are sure of) and more than 150 sonnets. He was celebrated by Ben Jonson, one of the leading playwrights of the day, as a writer who would be "not for an age, but for all time," a prediction that has proved to be true. Today, Shakespeare towers over all other English writers and has few rivals in any language. His genius and creativity continue to astound scholars, and his plays continue to delight audiences. Many have served as the basis for operas, ballets, musical compositions, and films. While Jonson and other writers labored over their plays, Shakespeare seems to have had the ability to turn out work of exceptionally high caliber at an amazing speed. At the height of his career, he wrote an average of two plays a year as well as dozens of poems, songs, and possibly even verses for tombstones and heraldic shields, all while he continued to act in the plays performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This staggering output is even more impressive when one considers its variety. Except for the English history plays, he never wrote the same kind of play twice. He seems to have had a good deal of fun in trying his hand at every kind of play. Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, all published on 1609, most of which were dedicated to his patron Henry Wriothsley, The Earl of Southhampton. He also wrote 13 comedies, 13 histories, 6 tragedies, and 4 tragecomedies. He died at Stratford-upon-Avon April 23, 1616, and was buried two days later on the grounds of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. His cause of death was unknown, but it is surmised that he knew he was dying. Suzanne Gossett is Professor of English at Loyola University Chicago. She has edited Middleton's A Fair Quarrel for the Oxford Middleton, Shakespeare and Wilkins' Pericles for the Arden Shakespeare and Beaumont and Fletcher's Philaster for Arden Early Modern Drama. She is a General Editor of Arden Early Modern Drama and, with Gordon McMullan, General Textual Editor for the Norton Shakespeare 3.

CHENGDU, China China attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Sunday for her recent meeting with the Dalai Lama, accusing her and other "human rights police" of double standards and ignoring the truth about the unrest in Tibet.
China also again accused the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, of orchestrating anti-government riots in Tibet and neighboring provinces this month in a bid to mar the Beijing Summer Olympics and overthrow the area's communist leaders.
Pelosi's visit to the Dalai Lama in Dharmsala, India, on Friday was the first by a major foreign official since the protests broke out. The Democratic leader said if people don't speak out against China's oppression in Tibet, "we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world."
China's official Xinhua New Agency published commentary Sunday accusing Pelosi of ignoring the violence caused by the Tibetan rioters.
"'Human rights police' like Pelosi are habitually bad tempered and ungenerous when it comes to China, refusing to check their facts and find out the truth of the case," it said.
"Her views are like so many other politicians and western media. Beneath the double standards lies their intention to serve the interest groups behind them, who want to contain or smear China," it said.
The Chinese government has sought to portray itself and Chinese businesses as the victims of the riots.
China's reported death toll from the protests in the Tibetan capital Lhasa earlier this month is 22. Tibet's exiled government says 99 Tibetans have been killed.
Xinhua said Sunday that 94 people had been injured in four counties and one city in Gansu province in riots on March 15-16. The report also said 19 rioters had surrendered in Gannan, a prefecture in Gansu, but it did not give any details.
The violence has turned into a public relations disaster for China ahead of the August Olympics, which it had been hoping to use to bolster its international image.
The Chinese government over the weekend was trying to give its own version of the events while clamping down on information coming from Tibet and neighboring provinces. The government said through official media that formerly restive areas were under control and again accused the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, of trying to harm China's image ahead of the summer games.
"The Dalai clique is scheming to take the Beijing Olympics hostage to force the Chinese government to make concessions to Tibet independence," said the People's Daily, the main mouthpiece of the Communist Party.
The Dalai Lama called the accusations against him "baseless," asserting that he supported China's hosting of the summer games.
"I always support (that) the Olympics should ... take place in Beijing ... so that more than 1 billion human beings, that means Chinese, they feel proud of it," he said Sunday in New Delhi, India.
The official lighting of the Olympic torch is set for Monday in Greece, and some 1,000 police will surround Ancient Olympia to keep away pro-Tibetan protesters from the ceremony. The torch is scheduled to travel through 20 countries before the Beijing Olympics open on Aug. 8.
One of Thailand's six torchbearers withdrew Sunday in protest. Environmentalist Narisa Chakrabongse said in an open letter that she decided against taking part in the relay to "send a strong message to China that the world community could not accept its actions."
Despite the media restrictions by the Chinese government, some information was leaking out. An American backpacker who traveled to Chengdu, the capital of western Sichuan province, said he had seen soldiers or paramilitary troops in Deqen in northwest Yunnan province, which borders Tibet.
"What was an empty parking lot by the library was full of military trucks and people practicing with shields. I saw hundreds of soldiers," said the backpacker, who would give only his first name, Ralpha.
There have been no reported protests in Yunnan.
Monks at the Gedan Song Zan Monastery outside of Zhongdian in northwest Yunnan prayed Sunday for peace and an end to the recent unrest among ethnic Tibetan populations in China. The monks, who characterized themselves as both Tibetan and Chinese, said they felt that the upheaval and riots had helped no one.
The government has insisted that stability has returned to the troubled areas. State broadcaster China Central Television said Sunday that electricity and telecommunications had been restored in Lhasa.

TEENAGE yobs showed what they thought of new police curfew powers by torching a riding stables last night.
The 9pm curfew, which began yesterday in Lowerhouses and Ashenhurst, saw most teenagers ordered home by their parents - but a hard core stayed on the streets.
And at exactly 9pm a fire was started in the abandoned Longley Riding School on Fannymoor Lane.
Although most of the curfew area was quiet, a gang of about 12 youths gathered near the riding school and were seen running up Fannymoor Lane as fire crews arrived.
The riding school has been repeatedly targeted, causing the owner to move out.
Station Officer Paul Mace, of Huddersfield fire station, said: "Two fires were started at the stables.
"One destroyed a portable building which had been used as an office. Another was confined to straw in one of the stables.
"After we put the fires out, we doused the rest of the stables and other portable buildings with water, to make sure no more fires could be started there in the coming days.
"It will take them quite a while to dry out," he added.
Huddersfield police said that apart from the fire there were no reports of any other problems in the area last night.
The curfew means police can move on nuisance teenagers after 9pm if they are likely to cause problems such as vandalism, abuse and intimidation .
If they refuse to leave, they face arrest.
Ashenhurst and Lowerhouses have become meeting places for gangs who have smashed windows, daubed walls with graffiti and made life a misery for people living nearby.
Huddersfield's police commander, Chief Supt Barry South, took the tough measure of bringing in the new curfew order to halt the problems. But a visible police presence was light yesterday.
A police van drove through the area shortly before 9pm.
The 2003 Anti-Social Behaviour Act has given the police extra powers to stop bad behaviour on the streets.
A 15-year-old girl, who asked not to be named, said the curfew would not stop the gangs roaming the streets at night.
She said: "For a lot of us it means we have no social life now. My parents have told me I have to be in by 9pm.
"I think the idea is stupid - and it won't work. The gangs will go somewhere else, like Almondbury."
A man, who asked not to be named for fear of being targeted, lives near to where the groups of teens have been meeting and said the curfew was the last straw.
He added: "I remember the first time I saw a kid rolling a joint on the streets here. That was about 18 years ago. All this has come too late.
"The problem is that there is no respect from kids. They don't care about anything. That has been proved by what they have done here."
Sub-Officer Lee Benson, of Huddersfield fire station, said: "We have every reason to believe the arson was carried out by youths who were gathered in the area when we arrived."

I just joined the forum here to hopefully discuss a little problem I am having, as I don't know who I could ever discuss this with in real life! Also it would help me a lot to just be able to vent. I grew up in a non-religious household and, even as a child, hold a strong aversion to religion. I don't care what other people do or believe (other than my boyfriend, which I'll get to), but it's not for me. At this point in time, I would consider myself more agnostic than atheist, but I am still figuring that out.
I've been in a relationship with a "Muslim" guy for about three years now and we live together. I say "Muslim" because that is what he calls himself and what his family has defined him as since birth, however, his actual beliefs fall in line with mine - he doesn't accept many, if any, theories of religion when it comes to god, afterlife, birth of the universe, etc. He also does not pray. He still calls himself a Muslim, however. I have a feeling he's never stepped away mostly to not be a black sheep of his family and to respect them, but also because he's probably never really given it much thought. The rest of his family are observant Muslims (other than one sibling who is probably the same as my bf, but likes to do what mama says), but very liberal and do not have absurd views on things like premarital sex or premarital cohabiting (except for his mom, who does not like that we live together or have sex before marriage). None of their religious observance affect my life much at all. And for what it's worth, everyone is aware of my lack of religious beliefs and, as far as I know, no one cares.
My problem with my bf being a "Muslim" is that the two components of Islam he does observe are not eating pork and fasting during Ramadan. These things bother me. They only mildly affect my life, but they still bother me. I have asked what his reasons are for complying with these things are and he tells me that he does it for his own self control and discipline. He claims he doesn't do it because it is what Islam commands or to please god or anything like that. He doesn't believe that pork is filthy, in fact, he always says it must be delicious and encourages me to eat it (having eaten pork my whole life and never thought twice about it, he was actually the one who made me appreciate it much more!). But because he was brainwashed his whole life to stay away from it, he still does (except for a short period of time where he decided to eat sausages, but then stopped because I guess he felt too guilty about it). I am mostly okay with his reasons for this stuff. They are commendable and respectable reasons I guess (what would not be respectable to me is if he told me he was fasting for god, which I told him would be difficult for me to accept).
The fasting and not eating pork probably bothers me because other Muslims take it so seriously. And his family thinks he actually believes and follows Islam because he does this stuff. I feel bad for my poor man who loves food so much and can't experience the pleasures of pork because his family have embedded this taboo of pork and guilt within him if he does. Although I may question him, I have never asked him to stop/change and I support him as best I can.
Anyway, the reason I write this is because every Ramadan is like agony for me for a month while I ponder over my love's actions and beliefs. I don't want to seem too intolerant, so I try not to say much about any of it, though he knew from year one that I was uncomfortable with it (but probably didn't realize the extent of my discomfort). I mostly knew his reasons (the self control stuff), but every year it comes around again and I start worrying that he's more religious than I thought. The other day I finally made my discomfort known and he confirmed completely to me his beliefs on god, etc, and his reasons for fasting. I'm much more okay with everything now knowing his real beliefs on this stuff. However, he was a bit sensitive that I was so bothered by this stuff and early in the conversation said something along the lines that I should support him and not try to change him. I agree with this. I know he is sensitive because he's grown up with religion (it's not disturbing to him like it is to me) and because of that, Islam is part of his identity, and he likely started feeling attacked. However, on further thought, I feel like it should be more of a two-way street; that he should acknowledge my discomfort and try to make me feel better about it. Not just that it should only be me accepting his actions....shouldn't he accept my feelings on it? (sounds kinda bad to be like, please be more accepting that I really dislike your family's religion and the stuff you've been indoctrined with from birth. (which I would never actually say))
Or am I being completely intolerant? Is it ridiculous to say that someone should be more accepting of my discomfort? Probably. Is this barely even a problem and I should shut up? Would love some input so I can decide if I should talk to him about this or not.
Thanks and sorry this turned out extremely long.

Suncor Energy has seen "a lot of interest" from potential merger partners, CEO Steve Williams said on Tuesday, yet is unlikely to consent to a deal with an oil major like ExxonMobil.
Canada's largest energy company is often credited with having a large amount of free cash and a sprawling network of refineries. In Alberta, the company produces upwards of 350,000 barrels of oil a day.

Social Tools Do Not A Process Make: Church Communications
I've often commented that tools don't make the process when talking with church organizations about social media and communications in general. I think this issue has only been further compounded as the many options for tools have increased and continue to do so. To this end I feel like we've all lost track of the mission: reaching new people, keeping people informed, and interacting with both of the former. (Read=Lost people, members/attenders, and everyone in-between.) We don't need new tools to innovate church communications, we need solid, proven ministry practices and processes.
Let me explain: When one is considering building a bird house most of us would probably just go to Wal-Mart and buy one. (Or which ever bird house mart you prefer.) But, for those who like a little more adventure, they journey into their basement and/or garage to actually build it. For these experts of the craft they follow a process something like this: Step one: gather what you need to be successful at building your bird house (i.e., plans, materials, tools, etc.) Ultimately, combining these things should result in a bird house. However, most of us also know that it's how we combine these items that measures our level of success. For example, plans need to be for what you actually want to accomplish and simple to understand. The materials should last and not create unneeded waste, and finally the tools should help you accomplish the task not make it more complicated. (Anyone see where this is going yet?) The path to success is then to follow the right plans, assemble your materials in the right way, while using the appropriate tools. Simple, right?
So how does this relate to your church's social media and overarching communications plan:
1) Plans/Processes/Procedures: Like building a bird house, you need good plans to know where you are going and how you are going to get there. These are much like our ministry processes. Lacking solid, documented ministry processes, you end up building a dog house when all you wanted was a simple place for a blue bird to call home. For the church today, this should come in the form of an all-encompassing communications plan. This plan can cover all things from branding, marketing, website, bulletins, mass mailings, podcasts, videos, and of course social media. It's all related and important to keep aligned and all involved accountable to the plan.
2) Materials (Read content): should be what you need to accomplish the job and should be of good quality. (i.e., videos, podcasts, mailings, bulletins, etc.) We all want to ensure the work we do lasts, answers the task at hand, and ultimately glorifies God. If we don't, then we may end up with a great plan and/or process, but then fail in the delivery for not taking the time to ensure that our messaging/content/communications actually make sense in the context of what we are trying to accomplish.
3) Tools (Read social media platforms/content management systems/etc): Everyone wants the shiny new tool that's on sale at Home Depot (or Lowes if you like) but do you need it? Does it help you accomplish your goal or only look pretty, take up space, and cost a lot of money? Does it even do the task you need it to do? Have you ever bought a tool that claimed to do a bunch of things including the ONE thing you need it to do, just to find out it doesn't even do the task you need it to all? Social media and content management can absolutely be daunting in this respect. Everything is "new" or "popular", but before you jump into the fold you should look to your communication plan and see what you are trying to accomplish as a church. Which tool best fits your goals? Blanketing the market may be an option, but in the face of small or non-existent budgets some times targeting your approach will yield the best results. Learn the tools and match their benefits and reach to your communications plan for best results and then expand as you grow.
So, maybe social media isn't quite like building a bird house, however often times I feel we are losing sight of our task, our target audience, and the intended end state by being blinded by the shiny new tool on the shelf that promises to do everything including slice my fresh bread before a meal. Knowing the task and how you are going to accomplish it is most important today along with delivering good and relevant content to those you hope to reach. Social media and content management tools are supposed to help accomplish the tasks and support the process, not BE the process, etc. It's time we focus on getting things done and producing results by way of using the correct tools for the job. Social media/web2.0/shiny web objects of choice are just that, tools: Some are good for accomplishing what your church needs and others are just new fancy tools that do too much for their own good. Focus on your ministry's mission, the audience, and your organizational goals and allow the appropriate tools fall into place to make the overall experience better. Don't fall for what every pitchman has for you or what's on sale at the front of the mega shopping center store this holiday season, or what ever some megachurch is using with great success. Bottom line: Tools, no matter how shiny and awesome they are, should never be the solution, they are only the means to accomplishing your goals. Make a plan, do your research and watch your ministry grow through good content and audience engagement.
Taking the "2.0" Out of Technology
This topic has been coming up a lot lately. I wrote about it a few weeks back: Social Tools Do Not a Process Make. A lot of people are overly focused on technology as a solution rather than a tool that can be used to re-enforce good policy, procedures, etc. (Read=Process) Fellow GovLoop-er, and communications consultant, Steve Radick has mentioned this a few times in his blogs as of late as well.
One can argue that "2.0 technology" is so "large" or "innovative" that it's a game changer, but this is a standard technology argument that is as old as the world it's self. One must recall the definition of technology to understand my point: (According to Merriam-Webster) Technology="a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge." By this definition technology isn't a "thing" it's a how and this is important to understand in discussion. Changing how we do something requires good process, methods, and/or knowledge. Lacking any of these things technology typically serves to only make things more complicated instead of easier. (As stated, how many projects can one point to that has suffered this reality?) Thus, we suffer from the reality that technology can be a double edged sword if not applied correctly to resolve a problem and in fact can end up causing more problems than it was implemented to resolve. (If this is the case, then by technical definition you have already failed.) This is the root problem in technology innovation: We can be motivated to change process due to some shiny new object that promises world peace, when all we really needed was a tool/technology that makes our processes better.
So, I leave you with this: 1.) Innovation for the sake of innovation is typically doomed to fail as it doesn't have a problem to solve. 2.) If lacking solid process, methodology, and/or knowledge technology will typically lead to frustration rather than solutions. and 3.) Tools/Technology: no matter how shiny and awesome they are, should never be the independent solution, they are only a means to accomplishing the mission/goal.
Technology does make our lives easier, but only appropriately applied technology to existing (and solid) processes change the world we live in for the better. What we need is a "Process 2.0" driven work place, that uses the right techonlogy for the job and appropriately engages people while solving problems.

Free from the Worst Kind of Debt: Sin
It seems we cannot turn on the news without being reminded of the financial mess the world economy is in. Global debt is skyrocketing, personal bankruptcies are up, and entire countries have to be bailed out. 2008 feels like a long time ago but we are still feeling the effects today. It is hard to believe that the actions of a few companies could have such a global impact. The debt caused by their lack of judgment and poor choices has been spread out onto everyone. The debt level is so high that it will be paid by our children and our children's children and even then it might still not be fully paid off.
There was a similar situation in history involving debt which was even worse than our current financial crisis. A young couple, Adam and Eve, took some bad advice and made a poor choice. It cost them everything they had ever known and they were even evicted from their home. The debt problem got even worse when they had their two sons, Cain and Abel. From then on everything compounded, with the amount to be repaid growing from generation to generation. It was a hopeless situation until one day a man appeared who had the solution. He would pay off the debt for everyone, and he did.
This was no ordinary debt, this was sin. Unlike monetary debt there is no refinancing, consolidating, or filing personal bankruptcy. With sin there was no way of paying off the debt on your own or with anyone's help. Being prudent does not help either. A unique quality of sin is that no matter how hard we try to avoid creating it, it happens anyway. Almost all of our thoughts and actions contribute to sin; it is part of our human nature. Sin is present from the moment of birth and continues to grow throughout life.
It took an extraordinary man to deal with this seemingly impossible situation. That man was Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He paid the debt for everyone but not just the past debt, the future debt as well. Though He was sinless and had no debt, He sacrificed Himself by taking on the sin of the world and paid off everyone's debt. When He died upon the cross He erased all the debt created throughout time. He made us all debt free.

Today is a sad day for me as two men I revere and respect so much have reportedly gone their separate ways. There has been some rumours on blogs and social networks that the execs of Mo'Hits have been having some differences however I never thought they would split up. If the recent tweets by Don Jazzy are true then the Mo'Hits empire is no longer standing.
The question on everybody's lips now is what next? What happens to the G.O.O.D. music deal? What happens to Wande Coal, D'Prince, Dr Sid and K-Switch? Anyways i wish them the best in their future endeavours.
The break up saga continues as Nollywood actress Doris Simeon and husband Daniel Ademinokan (a popular film director and producer) have gone their seperate ways after being married for years. The couple who have been having marital issues for a while now live apart. Some reports suggest that the actress Tonto Dike played a part in their break up (though Daniel refutes this).
The divorce syndrome seems to have spread its tentacles from Hollywood to Nollywood as yet another Nollywood couple call it quits. Film maker Tchidi Chikere and wife, Sophia have also thrown in the towel. We do hope this is not a trend that is sweeping through the Nigerian Entertainment Sector because there is nothing pretty about a divorce.
Singer, rapper and ghetto soldier, Jahborne was hacked almost to death. The veteran was stabbed 12 times by an unidentified man who is still on the run. This might not be unconnected to cultist or gang rivalry but it might also be connected to his music career.
Wonders they say shall never end! Who would have thought that Bobbi Kristina would be dating her "supposed" brother? Bobbi feels she's doing nothing wrong by dating Nick Gordon, the boy her mother – Whitney Houston unofficially adopted 10 years ago.
According to our sources, Bobbi broke the news to her friends at a BBQ this week. No one believed her until they kissed in public. We are told one friend suggested that the "relationship" was a result of their taking the death of Whitney too hard. They, however, brushed off that notion. This is not news to me as I've got some weird friends who get down with their cousins (una know una sef).
When the sex tape phenomena became the "in" thing, with Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, one would have thought that it would be left in the hands (you know what I mean na) of the sexy damsels. So what the hell is Terry "The Hulk" Hogan doing with a sex tape? The tape which stars Hogan and an unidentified woman was put online and he doesn't even know her name!
Hogan claims he has no idea who was selling the tape or how that person acquired it, but that his lawyers would prosecute anybody who goes forward with it. Seriously who would buy a Hulk sex tape? Certainly not me because I wouldn't know the difference between that and Baba Iyabo's (no be the one wey you know- mi o fe wahala oh) own sex scene! Gross.
They say if you live in a glass house you don't throw stones, so what the hell was the top honcho for the Stop Kony video, Jason Russel, thinking when he decided to go on rampage? I really think celebs have some sort of crazy things going on in their twisted, albeit, creative minds. I guess Kony would be having a good laugh after seeing the video. Hey Kony, you are a pervert that needs to be stopped so shut up and give yourself up!
Big shout out to Bez who keeps stepping on to bigger things. The Nigerian soul singer Bez Idakula has been nominated for this weeks' MTV Iggy Artistes of the Week. He was nominated alongside four international Artistes: Apollo 18 (South Korea), Fatima Al Qadiri (Senegal), Bittereinder (South Africa)and Crystal Fighters (Uk). So make sure you vote and support your own.
Don't forget that Waje is offering a one thousand dollar cash prize for her Album Art so if you know you have what it takes, jump on it!
Happy Birthday to the "apkako" master himself Terry G. Happy Mothers Day to my mum, Mrs Rose otomiewor (you rock), and to every other mum around the world, we love y'all.
Congratulations are in order to Charly Boy and Lady Di who have marked 35 years of marriage. No be beans!
That's all folks, treat your mama and women right. Make sure you make an impact and live life on the 360 highway with no ____ (fill in the blank space). Peace, love and respect.

By Laura Blumenfeld
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 1, 2007
On the nights when no mortar shells fell, Anh Duong listened to the Saigon crickets. More often, though, the girl lay by her open window, her hair damp against her cheeks, and wondered, as the lights from flares flickered on the leaves of a plum tree, if the next Viet Cong rocket would smash into her house.
"Why would you want to randomly blow up civilians?" Duong remembers thinking.
Now, at age 47 and living in Maryland, Duong is still grappling with the question, trying to apply bedtime lessons from Vietnam to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Duong is known as "the bomb lady" around the Pentagon and as the engineer behind America's first thermobaric, bunker-busting explosive. A 5-foot-1-inch suburban mother of four, Duong has become, according to Thomas A. Betro, director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, "one of the most important weapons-developers of the modern era."
For Duong, who was honored recently as one of the federal government's top civil servants, producing tools for U.S. troops is a way of life. After years of pioneering explosives for the Navy, she now creates systems to help identify terrorists.
"I don't want My Lai in Iraq," Duong said at the Pentagon, where she works on anti-terrorism issues as a science adviser. "The biggest difficulty in the global war on terror -- just like in Vietnam -- is to know who the bad guys are. How do we make sure we don't kill innocents?"
Duong's most recent innovation, the Joint Expeditionary Forensics Facilities (JEFF) project or "lab in a box," analyzes biometrics. It will be delivered to Iraq at the beginning of 2008, the Navy said, to help distinguish insurgents from civilians.
"The best missile is worthless if you don't know who to shoot," Duong said.
Betro said the military has been scanning the irises and taking the fingerprints of Iraqis, feeding a biometrics data base in West Virginia. To date, a few ad hoc labs have processed about 85,000 pieces of evidence taken from weapons caches or roadside devices. Duong's mobile forensic labs, with an initial budget of $34 million, will be deployed all over Iraq.
Duong, whose nickname is " 'klutz' in Vietnamese," and who wears frosted-pink nail polish over the objections of her teenage daughter ("That's hideous, Mom,") supervised the "lab in a box" design.
Each collapsible, sand-colored, 20-by-20-foot unit has its own generator and satellite link. If things go as planned, data will beamed to the Biometric Fusion Center to check against more than a million Iraqi fingerprints. Hundreds of Marines are learning how to process a crime scene, "an unheard-of tactic . . . snapping on rubber gloves," Betro said.
The next stage is to miniaturize, create "a backpack lab," so that soldiers who encounter a suspect "could find out within minutes" if he's on a terrorist watch list, Duong said. "A war fighter needs to know one of three things: Do I let him go? Keep him? Or shoot him on the spot? In Vietnam, our guys didn't have this tool."
In Vietnam, Duong recalled, her family befriended American airmen who served on a nearby base. The day Saigon fell, her brother, a South Vietnamese air force pilot, loaded her relatives onto a helicopter. Duong was 15.
"I remember clutching my little bag full of pictures of teachers, childhood friends, of my cat and dog that I had to abandon, and a few pieces of my best clothes, crying the whole time," she recalled in a speech at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, where she worked before moving to the Pentagon.
Eventually Duong and her family were transferred to a Vietnamese boat, which pulled alongside a U.S. Navy ship. One by one, they jumped.
"Each would have to wait for the right moment, the short period when the waves would bring the boat and the ship closest," Duong said. "I was standing in line for that jump, when my cousin, who was ahead of me, made his jump at the wrong moment. Even today I can still picture him sliding down the side of the ship while everyone on the other side was trying to catch his hand . . . while my aunt was screaming."
Her cousin, dangling, his feet nearly crushed between the two hulls, was hoisted on board. "Someone shouted in my ear that I was next," Duong recalled. "Only after I made it to the ship and found my father did I break down."
Duong came to Montgomery County in 1975 by way of refugee camps in the Philippines and in Pennsylvania. The First Baptist Church of Washington sponsored her family.
"Her life story is at the heart of her commitment," Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter said in an interview. This fall, he presented Duong with the 2007 Service to America National Security Medal from the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service (PPS). Backstage, as Winter listened to Duong's account of her escape, he took a deep breath and, he said, "I'm thinking, 'Gee whiz, am I going to be able to do this without choking up?' "
PPS president Max Stier said afterward, "Americans sometimes forget the important role their public servants play. Immigrants don't."
Certainly not Duong. "My life is payback: I'm indebted to the soldiers and to Americans," she said. "I was enraged when I found out how Hollywood portrayed my American heroes and my American friends as women- and children-killers. How dare they?" As a teenager, Duong went to see "The Deer Hunter." She walked out in the middle.
Duong is still angry, though no longer helpless. "I'm here because in Vietnam, we ran out of bullets. I don't want to ever be in that position again," she said. "By building bombs, the other guys realize they shouldn't mess with us. If you have a gun, I have a bazooka. If you have a grenade, guess what? I have a bomb."
At Indian Head, in the 1990s, Duong headed the development and transition of 10 explosives into 18 different U.S. missiles, bombs, torpedoes and gun projectiles, a record in the field, according to the PPS.
In 2001, Duong led nearly 100 scientists at Indian Head to build a thermobaric, internal-blast explosive so powerful that critics called it "thermo-barbaric." It was designed for use in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom to penetrate enemy caves. Her team compressed years of work into 67 days.
Duong's colleague, Karen Burrows, a fuse specialist, recalled how she and Pam Carpenter, the chief chemist, sat in meetings with Duong, calculating the optimum heat and pressure to billow around corners and rip through tunnels. Male colleagues called the women, all mothers of young children, "the knitting club."
"On Saturdays, I would work and come home drained, and do laundry," Burrows recalled. She told her 4-year-old son, "'Mommy is making a bomb for Osama bin Laden.' He shared this with his friends, 'Mommy makes bombs.' "
At home, Duong's four children, ages from 5 to 11 at the time, were barred from playing with toy guns. No Harry Potter books -- too violent. Even their Disney videos were censored, Duong's daughter, Cynthia, said: "Our 'Pocahontas' movie had all the fight scenes cut out."
Though Duong and her husband Tho, a software engineer, favor building a strong U.S. arsenal, they are "strongly antiwar," Duong said. "We don't want our kids to think violence is the answer." She builds weapons for deterrence, she said, though, if provoked, the United States should use them. Asked if she worried her bombs might be misused, she said, "You've got to have faith in our leadership."
Recently, Duong returned to Indian Head for a visit. She saw Doug Elstrodt, who was in charge of mixing and casting the thermobaric ingredients.
"It's like baking a cake," Elstrodt said, standing over a 420-gallon steel mixing bowl with beaters three feet long. "You start with the liquids. Add the solids."
Duong remembered how she used to come home from work and cook dinner -- but no brownies or cakes. "I'd been baking all day," she said. She also remembered how nervous she was at the Nevada site, when they tested the thermobaric mix. A picture of bin Laden, pasted on a concrete slab, was placed inside a tunnel. Duong said her heart pounded as the explosion ruptured the cave.
Now Duong was standing inside a charred and pitted Navy detonation chamber, inhaling the corroded odor. "This feels like home," Duong said, the words echoing against metal walls.
Back home in Saigon as a little girl, Duong used to stand by the gate of her brother's air base, waiting for him to come home. She'd pretend she was a fairy: "I wanted my brother to win, to have the best weapon, so he would come back alive."
Today, to defeat terrorists, she said, "We need a mind-opening weapon. That's the best weapon -- to change the terrorists' minds." She had lifted it in her hand as a girl and aimed while waiting for her brother. "My first weapon," Duong recalled in a soft voice. A magic wand.

How do ii resend a previously sent message??→HTC Incredible
You have to hold down on the message you sent, and forward it or copy and paste it into the new message.
guidot is correct but just for clarification and you might not even need it when he say's "hold down" he's saying long press on the message.
Ok that's wat I've been doing but ii thought it mite be a different way...it iz a Droid after all

text: Does anyone have any wisdom to share with getting a Pocket PC to work properly on a Network? My network consists of 3 WinXP PC's connected to a WRT54G, and an NSLU2 network attached storage device with a single hard disk attached. My problem is that, although the Windows XP systems all see the NSLU2 disk, the Pocket PC doesn't (even though it can see the NSLU2 itself). So it seems that the Pocket PC works differently on the network than the WinXP systems. I can't change much about the Pocket PC, but perhaps there's something I can change in the settings of either the NSLU2 (even an unslung version, for those of you who know that whole scene) or the WRT54G? Any shared ideas (or better still, successful experiences) appreciated.


text: hey guys. i need some help. I have the WRT54GX4 SRX400 router and for some reason, the wired connection likes to drop out every now and then and I don't know why. Other than wireless security and router security, all settings are default. I also have the 1.00.20 (newest) firmware. I can best describe it as this. I have AOL Instant Messenger running the background whenever I'm doing something. It likes to lose connection and sign off but immediately after several seconds reconnects. Same thing happens when I play games online. I don't know if this affects my other roomates. My PC is connected by either a 25 or 50 ft cable (I haven't taken the time to guesstimate properly). COuld it be that there's loss in the cable because it's too long/not CAT6 or whatever it is? I have Optimum cable and just had it repaired because we lost service for a day and know that is not the issue. We used this router in my home home until my dad upgraded and it sat in the basement and never had this issue Any help = appreciated. Thanks!

CAMBA's Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry CAMBA's Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
CAMBA's Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry is a Client Choice Food Pantry that provides a three day emergency supply of nutritional food to those in need. We maintain a holistic approach to social benefits access and we strive to provide a supportive environment to those we serve.
Founded in 1988, the Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry serves thousands of individuals and families, providing them with nutritious food to tide them over during a food emergency. In 2009 the food pantry was converted to a Client Choice Pantry. This change allows pantry clients to shop in the pantry, choosing the items that meet the needs of their individual families rather than receiving a pre-packed bag of food.
Because many of the low-income and elderly individuals served are unable to maintain a healthy diet, the pantry distributes a three-day supply of food that includes many low sodium and whole grain options. The pantry serves CAMBA clients as well as clients referred by local churches and other agencies. Services also include review of public benefits and assistance with applications for these benefits, money management, nutritional education, referrals to social service programs and health care providers.
Previously the food pantry served 5000 individuals a year, however as of December 2008 we have seen a 900% increase in use.

Highs and lows for Emma
- Published: 04/08/2006
- Views: 309
Dunedin-based rally driver Emma Gilmour experienced the highs and the lows of rallying in Round 4 of the Parker Enzed Championship, Rally Hawke's Bay.One of the most satisfying days of her rallying career was followed by one of the most frustrating.
Gilmour says she's partly satisfied and partly frustrated by a final result of fifth overall, a result which has left her placed fourth in the series.
"I set myself the goal of closing the performance gap on championship pacesetters Richard Mason and
Chris West (who each won a heat in Hawke's Bay) this weekend, and that's exactly what I did on Saturday's opening heat," said Gilmour, who set a string of top-three special stage times and finished fourth overall on Leg 1.
"After that awesome run, I was really looking forward to Sunday, but in the end it was one of my most difficult days of rallying.
"There was thick gravel on the first few stages which didn't help, but the major problem was with the car itself. We had five spins on the first five stages, and eventually realised it was a problem with the car's transmission, not with me."
The crew changed the gearbox in 20 minutes before the final test. However, that came too late to influence her Heat 2 result. Though cars ran at speed through the final stage, organisers didn't time it because of fears that some parts of the road were so flooded that cars wouldn't get through.
But it was important to give the car a run, Gilmour said. "With me about to head away to Europe (to drive a front-wheel drive Ford Fiesta in the German and Finnish World Championship rallies), it was important to have things sorted out for the next national round (in Wairarapa) at the end of August."

Acceptable safe performance enhancement without the use of steroids
In an effort to identify potential avenues of performance enhancement all the while using new drug regulations as a precipice I have potentially identified a naturally occurring amino acid which has been proven to produce stated desired results.
In 1988 a study by Gaffney and Cunningham (1) using Timeform ratings as an indicator investigated heritability of racing performance between 1952 and 1977. They reported a strong genetic performance and a "steady genetic gain of 1% per year" yet discovered "winning times had not improved during the last 50 years for classic races". This was described by W. G. Hill (2) (1988) as "Cunningham's Paradox", he asked the question of "have horse breeders reached the limit of achievement of racehorses". Cunningham (3) suggested that the "physiological limit might have been reached, for example, for dealing with lactic acid build up in the muscle during performance".
Every movement of a muscle a horse makes requires energy, whether sprinting 7 furlongs or batting an eyelash energy is required. Their body produces that energy through the use of ATP (adenosine trihosphate). This energy is released when ATP is split into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and P (phosphate). The human body, for example, has a very limited supply of ATP only enough to store fuel for about 3 to 5 seconds of work. Our bodies then "borrow" a phosphate group from another substance called PCr (phosphocreatine) and combined it with ADP. ADP + P = ATP.
Herein lays the potential answer to "Cunningham's Paradox" whereby if genetics have reached their maximum capabilities could supplementation derived from a naturally occurring source thereby negating potential side effects substantially increase output and performance.
Creatine is a naturally occurring acid synthesized from lysine, argentine and methionine, in the liver, pancreas and kidneys. Muscles take up the majority of the creatine found in the body it is there that it is converted into phosphocreatine which is necessary (as stated earlier) for ATP production. Research shows that taking creatine supplements can increase muscle creatine by 20 to 30%. Increasing the amount of creatine found in the muscle also increases the amount of phosphocreatine, which aids in producing greater amounts of energy. This is because phosphocreatine is the limiting factor in energy production in high intensity anaerobic exercise. Numerous studies have identified the amino acid as producing substantial results in the performance of anaerobic events as well as increasing lean body mass, such as:
In 1997 a double blind study by Prevost, Nelson and Morris (4) supplemented with 18.75 g/day of creatine prior to high-intensity intermittent work to exhaustion, and then 2.25 g/day during testing "found that creatine supplements significantly delayed the onset of muscle fatigue in endurance athletes by boosting their lactate thresholds".
Another double blind study in 1997 conducted by Bosco and others (5) provided 20 g/day to qualified sprinters who performed intensive treadmill running until exhaustion. They determined "creatine supplementation increased performance sprinting performance by 13%".
A 2000 study by Mehlberg (6) stated "sprinters who loaded with creatine (25 grams for 5 days) significantly increased their peak and average power output compared to a group taking an inactive placebo".
The Mayo Clinic (7) graded the supplement an "A" stating "several high-quality studies have shown an increase in muscle mass, lean body mass and strength".
To my knowledge no study has been reported regarding the usage of creatine in equine athletes, however a 2001 study by Mc Farlane, Heigenhauser, D G McDonald (8) using fingerling rainbow trout which were "supplemented with equal amounts of creatine (Cr) by two routes: dietary (12.5 mg Cr per g food); or intraperitoneal injection (0.5 mg Cr per g fish). Endurance in a fixed velocity sprint test (at a speed of 7 BL s(-1)), and resting levels of white muscle metabolites (total creatine [a measure of free creatine plus phosphocreatine (PCr), ATP, lactate and glycogen] were assessed following 7 days of supplementation and compared to controls. It was determined that resting muscle glycogen was elevated in creatine-supplemented fish. Higher muscle glycogen corresponded to significantly greater endurance in creatine-supplemented fish".
Obviously scientific and field testing on Thoroughbreds must occur before and absolute answer to "Cunningham's Paradox" can be pronounced. However that being said overwhelming evidence must lead one to consider that creatine potentially is a naturally occurring, safe, legal and effective alternative to steroids.

text: In recent years, violent conflict and human suffering have left an indelible mark on north eastern Nigeria and parts of Niger, Chad and Cameroon in and around the Lake Chad Region. The unfolding humanitarian crisis was largely overlooked prior to 2016 even as Boko Haram raids and suicide bombings wreaked havoc. However, over the course of the year momentum built rapidly for a response that was Nigeria "owned and led" and the establishment of the Federal Government of Nigeria's (FGN) Inter-Ministerial Task Force (IMTF) to create a platform to support FGN's humanitarian response in the north-eastern region of the country was widely welcomed.Read More

We all have that one mate who loves nothing more than to do a 'hilarious' impression of somebody famous.
The only problem is, that one mate can usually only do THAT one impression - but not this lad.
John Sharpson created this utterly comical clip of himself imitating a range of stars and posted it to Youtube
From Eamon Dunphy and Ryle Nugent, to Shrek and Pinocchio, there's no impression this lad can't do.
He has even mastered dastardly Simpsons duo Lenny and Carl!
We suspect the video, which is called "A few oul impressions", could become a bit of a viral hit. So sit back an enjoy the fruits of John's hilarious labour.

The game was showcased by a team of players all working together with their various abilities to get past traps and other troubles. While the iconic Sackboy returns with his many gadgets, also included are three other characters, each with new abilities.
- Oddsock is fast and can wall-jump
- Toggle is able to switch between big and heavy, and small and light
- Swoop is able to fly.
Together all sorts of puzzle combinations are possible that requires all four characters working together in order to succeed.
Related: LittleBigPlanet 3 review
Of course, LittleBigPlanet is about more than just solving puzzles. The game is also about creating those puzzles, and the third iteration offers all sorts of tools and pieces to help users create interesting and unique puzzles to solve. On top of this, the game willto support the millions of levels already made for previous LittleBigPlanet games with some fancier graphics to support the PS4's more powerful hardware.
According to President of Sony Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, the game won't be out until around the holidays. Let's hope the wait is worth it for PS4 owners.

How Much Does Starting A Business Price?
Many large and companies had to reduce on IT costs because of to the Situation of the economic climate. This scenario has a huge influence in the way these companies supply supports and items to the marketplace. Numerous times, we do not check the impact of this issue on income, competence and so on. This situation has led many companies to outsource their IT management and programs. Managed IT solutions companies are very useful in the IT globe. It is essential for us to find out the power of this type of company.
I once had an computer repair engineer working for me who left because we insisted he go out to see clients. He was a fantastic techie, but he found speaking with clients very difficult. In the finish he received a occupation at another company exactly where he could sit in the server room all working day with out talking to people. He's extremely pleased.
Now that you comprehend some of the reasons your business ought to outsource its IT requirements, allow's speak a little little bit about how to select the correct IT business for your company.
After getting absent through the initial paragraph you should be considering that IT outsourcing consultancy is an simple occupation. Well I concur that you can make millions of dollars from it but it is by no means simple. All you have to do is outsource all the tasks that you have to other businesses sitting at your house and keeping an quantity for you. Puzzled? Nicely all that you would have to do is get some quality tasks from some of the IT giants and give these tasks to some much less known companies. Because the much less known companies can function for a a lot lower amount, you get to keep a good quantity for your self and that quantity might also be in tunes of millions!
Unplug your community cable too. It's not just the energy cord that you need to unplug. Make sure any community cables are also unplugged from the back of your computers. Lightening can also travel via these cables resulting in the exact same quantity of damage.
So, you determine upon what part of your profession? How component of it will be taken treatment by "WisdomJobs and Knowledge IT services ". All kinds of avenues and support to attain your profession future is provided by the business as for each your requirement.
They have teams in house which do it for them. They have teams which coordinate with customers and get the job carried out. They make well timed deliveries. Their clients never get a opportunity to squirm and moan their tasks had been not completed and handed over in time.
From hardware associated to the software associated issues, the "fix it centre" choices provides the best. Its style is a little bit messy, but it is inclined for novices and not for tech savvy specialists.

Dr. Chand took the time to sit with me on my first visit (And every visit after) to really discuss what is wrong, and how best to treat symptoms as we work together (yes, I feel as if she is really on my side!) towards a difficult diagnosis. Her entire office staff is professional and very friendly.

The Village - why am I the only person I know that freakin loved this movie? I think it's not so much the story, although the concept is interesting, but the carefully-paced dialogue, the acting, and the gorgeous cinematography. If I could meet Roger Deakins, I would tell him his shots are just art, man. I would totally blush. Love his work with the Coen Bros. and on here...
thx for the link but i can´t see the trailer... :-/hm last night saw "Starsky & Hutch" with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.It´s one of my favorite movies."Do it! Do it!!!"
Ben Stiller: "Who are you?"Andy: "Nobody"Ben Stiller: "That's right. And who am I?"Andy: "It's either Starsky or Hutch, I can never remember?"Ben Stiller: "Was that supposed to be funny?"Andy: "You tell me, you were in it."
thx for the link but i can´t see the trailer... :-/
i just can't see horror movies. i get truly scared. i scream. i jump out of my seat. i have nightmares afterward. but i'm always interested. like, i really wanted to see Saw but knew that i couldn't sit through it so i asked my friend to tell me the whole plot. so i got the cool concept without all the gore.
I think you need Quicktime? It's on the apple site so I guess It only plays in that format...
It made me think of that, too. Ben Stiller was a good sport wasn't he? Ricky Gervais made him look a plonker. As he did with the other film stars, except Samuel L Jackson I guess. He just looked cool 8)
I was a little underwhelmed by the Samuel L. Jackson episode. They overplayed the racism subject on that one. But he sure looked cool. And I loved him in The Matrix ;)The last one with Patrick Stewart was a classic again.http://www.rickygervais.com/extras_clips_06_02.php
Patrick Stewart allowed himself to look such a creep! The power of Ricky I suppose.
In Fact... I will "make it so"
Excellent!!! ;D
