TIme Pass...!!!

A twin-engine plane crashed into a house in the Democratic Republic of Congo a few hundred yards from its destination, killing a British co-pilot and 19 others on board. The sole human survivor told investigators that an escaped crocodile caused the crash after a stampede of passenger running away from it caused the plan to serve shortly before it was due to land.

The plane came down during an internal flight from the capital, Kinshasa, to Bandundu regional airport on August 25 but investigators could not find any mechanical problems with the plane. A report by news organisation Jeune Afrique stated: “According to the inquiry report and the testimony of the only survivor, the crash happened because of a panic sparked by the escape of a crocodile hidden in a sports bag. One of the passengers had hidden the animal, which he planned to sell, in a big sports bag, from which the reptile escaped as the plane began its descent into Bandundu. The terrified air hostess hurried towards the cockpit, followed by the passengers. The plane was then sent off-balance ‘despite the desperate efforts of the pilot. The crocodile survived the crash before being cut up with a machete.’

First Officer Chris Wilson, 39, died alongside Belgian pilot Danny Philemotte, 62 who could not regain control of the aircraft after the passengers caused it to swerve, before it crashed into the house which was unoccupied at the time.

Speaking to her local paper in Shurdington, Gloucestershire, Mr Wilson’s mother Jean, 78, paid tribute to her son, saying: “He loved flying and he worked hard to fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot. He had three jobs at once just to pay for his training. He absolutely adored flying. I’m very proud of him for working so hard. He loved life and did everything he could to achieve his dream. There have been so many messages from people he has known through the years. We didn’t realise so many people cared for him.”

Ok, so I wanted to make some Photoshop tutorials because I didn't see alot around here, the tutorials are pretty basic and I'll go over some basic things and techniques for you guys.
In all of my tutorials I use Photoshop CS4, but you can actually use every version of Photoshop for most of the effects, in fact, you can even use programs like Paint.NET and GIMP, these are free(!) and almost as powerfull as Photoshop.

In this tutorial we're going to make a sweet, jelly like text effect. This is what we are going to be making:



Step 1
First up, make a new File at 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high.
Now for the background, make a smooth radial gradient with these two shades of brown: #4e3d35 and #1e1916
(Note that the gradient doesn't start at the exact center of the image, but abit to the top left)

Pedestrian Lauren Rosenberg, who was injured by a motorist whilst following Google Maps direction which she had downloaded, has a lawsuit seeking more than $100,000 (£68,000) in the US District Court in Utah against Google claiming that they had supplied unsafe directions. The lawsuit also names the motorist which hit her.

Although this case has become a talking point across the internet and on many blogs and forums, with many critics blaming the woman for ignoring her own safety to follow directions blindly, Rosenberg’s lawyer Allen Young said the truth was different. The directions Ms Rosenberg downloaded to her phone in January gave directions from one end of Park City to the other however the Google Maps led her to a four-lane street without footpaths. According to the lawsuit filed by the California resident that route was “not reasonably safe for pedestrians.”

Ms Rosenberg states that she did believe she could reach a footpath on the other side of Deer Valley Drive, so she tried to cross the four-lane street however she did not reach the median because she was struck by a speeding car on a pitch-black night. Rosenberg received multiple bone fractures and she required six weeks of rehabilitation.

Her lawyer Mr Young said,” We think there’s enough fault to go around, but Google had some responsibility to direct people correctly or warn them, they created a trap with walking instructions that people rely on. She relied on it and thought she should cross the street.” He also states that Ms Rosenberg is seeking compensation for her medical bills as well as more for lost wages and punitive damages.

Spokesperson for Google, Elaine Filadelfo said “the company had not received a copy of the lawsuit and could not discuss it, but she disputed Mr Young’s assertion that Google Maps provides no warning that walking routes may be missing footpaths or pedestrian areas. Every software version for desktop computers and mobile devices has had that disclaimer since Google Maps was launched in 2008.”

The Park City police also stated that some segments of Deer Valley Drive have footpaths but not the stretch that Rosenberg reached. The street has a walking path on the side Ms Rosenberg failed to reach. Rosenberg’s lawyer said the walking path was “totally snowpacked” and of no use to pedestrians in January.

Okay most of you all know that their is already tons of stuff on your computer to remove memory, here are some of the major ones:

• Disk Defragmenter
• Disk Cleanup
  

If you have any common sense you would clear out your recycling bin once and awhile, and check around your computer and remove some unneeded videos, songs, and programs.

Some of you may also know you can do some ram.vbe stuff out of notepad to clean up some of your ram, or do that mystring code.
Well this is what I use... I open up notepad, paste the code that is below, save as "Clean.bat"
Then I open it up.
As you can tell by reading the code you can tell it cleans out your temp and what not. This is not a prank this is completely legit.


@echo off
