This step-by-step guide will illustrate you how to upgrade to Windows 10 using ISO file, from your existing Windows installation.
So as far as upgrading the OS is concerned, the steps are little bit different. Here you need to temporarily mount the ISO file by assigning it a drive letter, then you can proceed via upgrade.
2. A device that can run Windows 10, or that fulfills system requirements for Windows 10.
1. Open your existing Windows edition and locate the ISO file. Now right click on this file and Mount, restart the machine. After rebooting, open File Explorer and locate the DVD drive, you'll find that the ISO file is already mounted to it with a temporary drive letter (as you can see in below shown window, where D: is temporary drive letter). Open this drive and click on the setup.exe file.
4. Moving on, accept the license agreement from Microsoft by clicking Accept.
Best option here is to select Keep personal files, apps and Windows settings. Click Next and then click Install in above shown window.
6. Finally, the installation starts and get completes in few minutes.
Your PC will restart after the installation is over.
7. After reboot, you will see the Upgrading Windows. Here there are three sections and after completing each section, PC will restart. When this screen reaches to 100%, system will finally reboot.
8. After the restart, the steps are similar to step 11, 12, 13 of this guide. Then you can log in to your user account which existed on your old edition of Windows. Click Next.
9. After setting up your account, finally you'll arrive at the Desktop of Windows 10. In this way, the upgrade to Windows 10 is completed.
How can I get an Installation DVD of Windows 10? The upgrade is not working for me. Thank You for your help in the past.
I have been trying to get windows 10 from a free upgrade. So far it has not worked. I think the installation DVD would work. How can I get a free DVD, or can I?
are my files and there locations effected when upgrading?
^^ Nope. But games may not work after upgrade, if they're not supported on Windows 10.
No way for skipping product key ? I wanna stuck on there.
^^ You can directly download ISO file from Microsoft using link mentioned in the article. Once you've ISO file, go ahead with steps.
After restarting there is no pre-mounted drive.
i got to where it says the computer started using the windows installation etc….How do I actaully restart the computer once i removed the cd There is no option about restarting unless you press the power button which I did and ya operating system not found..back from scratch.
^^ In that case, physical restart is the only option left.
Hi, im stuck at where it says "Hi there, let's get a few basic things out of the way, what's your country/region?, what keyboard layout.., etc". So yeah, i chose my settings and now it's taking forever to apply these settings. Prior to this, i chose "keep nothing" for a clean installationg. Any help? Going over half an hour and still "applying these settings".
^^ If it's still there, can you go back and check Use Express settings button?
Hey Kapil, it appears that I am a similar situation just like Benjie, When I get to the 'Compatibility' report that says remove my USB install media, I have a restart button on my desktop that I can press. I go thru the stated set of instructions: 1) remove the USB media; 2) Press my restart button; 3) Wait for the machine to reboot into my old Windows 7 (32bit) Sp1 OS; 4) Wait for that start-up to complete; 5) Reinsert the USB media and tell Win-login page to restart my machine; 6) On this occurrence the same Initialize process starts all over again w/o regard for the initiating files that should have been written to my harddrive from the prior install attempt. Effectively I'm in a never ending loop with no chance of a successful continuance of the reinstall process. How can I get this issue resolved.
^^ Give it some time, it will pass. This depends upon your system specs.
i cant change the date if i change the date it wont load it will restart again and the msg will appear again what should i do?
Hi.. Everything was working fine. 2 days ago my Acer 4740G running on Windows 10 Pro 64bit is updating to its latest update, a commulative update. At 68% percent the laptop suddenly turned off due to the plug is a bit loose and it was moved a bit and boom laptop died. Now I cant open it, asking me for a bootable device. I made a bootable USB and making an install, trying for upgrade because I dont have back up of my files. Then compatibility report keeps showing (The computer started using the Windows installation media. Remove the installation media and restart your computer……). When I clicked close it brings me back to Windows setup where you choose install now or repair your computer. I dont even know how I'll restart it. Please help me.. :( Thank you..
This for this guide BUT I have a computer error and I cannot load Windows. Currently I only have access to my hard drive via CMD in the TROUBLESHOOTING option in the windows installation media. Is it possible to execute your guide with just CMD?
Can I use Daemon tools to mount image to a virtual drive?
^^ Sorry, can't comment on such 3rd-party tools.
Hi Kapil. Came across ur post. Pls I have a windows 10 that I have been using for the past two years. Some 3 weeks ago I tried booting my system. It refused to go to the login page and remained stuck on a blue screen and rounded dots. I have tried so many solutions to no avail. Kindly help assist me sole this problem.
My Dell Vostro 3560 laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Build 1511 using an old ISO file and it worked fine. In the process, Windows 10 Pro was activated automatically for free. Then, it tried to automatically upgrade via Windows updates to Build 1809 and it stopped about 54% of the way and rolled back to Build 1511. Unfortunately, it is now no longer activated and cannot be rolled back to Windows 7 Pro anymore. The reason that Build 1809 failed may be because some drivers are not available yet for this laptop model. Hence, it ran fine at Build 1511 and I can defer further upgrades to higher Builds and only update Build 1511 with available Windows updates but I can no longer activate it. Please provide guidance to fix this issue.
Contrary to what all of the discussion groups are saying, Microsoft told me that upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is no longer free and that I should buy a new Windows 10 license. The initial successful upgrade to build 1511 was performed on February 22, 2019. I lost the digital license when it tried to upgrade to build 1809 and then rolled back.


Post and discuss what YOU are working on. This is the place to preview and/or discuss your modern day military AI projects.
I am currently putting together the documentation for my latest project.
This FS2004 package represents Seville-San Pablo airport including the Airbus plant where the A400M and the C-295 are manufactured.
Looks like a lot of work has gone into this project Hartwig. Very well done indeed.
Looks great. Well done Hartwig.
Looking good! Are those engine covers on the A400M a new feature? I don't remember seeing that in my sim before.
Love the little touches such as the engine/cockpit covers on the stored stuff..
"When all else fails, and your AI doesn't show up...... check the AI slider.......DOH!!!!"
No, not a new feature of the A400M. The engine nacelles and props are painted as wrapped.
In real life all these stored A400Ms, the C-130 and the P-3 have their engines removed or not yet installed.
Is there likely to be a P3Dv4 version ?
Retired and busier than ever !!
I do not use P3D.
There is a payware FSX scenery for Seville that might work in P3D.
Repaints and flight plans can be converted.
Many thanks for this scenery.
Installed it today & noticed most of the A400's are parked at the airport terminal! AFCAD looks ok, but anyone else have this problem?
I think I found the reason why the A400Ms park on the terminal.
The parking spot sizes for the A400Ms are 30m in my scenery.
The parking radius of the NBAI A400m model is 34m however.
On my system I must have changed the parking radius to 30m sometime in 2015.
I do not remember why I did that. I also cannot find the forum thread about the A400M when it was released.
I think the simplest solution is to reduce the parking radius on the A400M model to 30m using AI aircraft editor.
I increased the parking spot sizes of the A400M parking spots to match the parking radius of the originally released model.
Thank you for the scenery.
I have a small problem. Every plane on the side of Airbus ( A400, UH-72, etc ) is sinking in the ground and not visible.
Have anybody else the same fault?
Nope everything OK with me.
There is a flatten file included that levels the whole airport area to 34m (_LEZL_LWM2_flatten_34m.BGL).
Have you installed that? It is supposed to be in the scenery folder.
Also make sure that there is no other AFCAD for LEZL installed.
yes, the flatten file is installed.
The problem is , how it looks, only on the A400 side. The civil gates and the CASA plant working normal.
I found the problem. There was a fault in the aircraft.cfg. After replacement of aircragt.cfg file everything works fine now.
Lovely scenery but there's a problem in that the runway designators (9 and 27) are the wrong way round and causing havoc with AI inbound traffic. Any chance of a fix please?
While you are right that the runway designators are switched what you mean by this is causing havoc?
A more specific description of your problem would be helpful.
Even with the switched runway designators I do not see any strange AI behaviour on my system.
I actually do not even know whether the runway designator has any effect on the AI flying behaviour at all.


The Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency intends to assemble a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) system in orbit, Aviation Week reported, citing the Pentagon's 2020 budget.
"The program will initially develop the use of additive manufacturing approaches to print NTP fuel elements… In addition, the program will investigate on-orbit assembly techniques (AM) to safely assemble the individual core element subassemblies into a full demonstration system configuration, and will perform a technology demonstration", the budget document says.
According to the outlet, a high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) propulsion system, which is being developed as a fuel source for next-generation nuclear reactors, will use the fissionable isotope uranium-235 (U-235) with a concentration of more than 5% but less than 20%. This assay of U-235 is much lower than the 90% used in US naval reactors, but also higher than the average 3-5% U-235 used in commercial reactors, allowing for smaller reactors.


Sir Elton John has been spotted toting a Dolce and Gabbana carrier bag just a day after vowing to boycott the luxury fashion house.
The "Rocket Man" hitmaker slammed Stefano Gabbana and his designing partner Domenico Dolce over an interview in which they stated that children born using in vitro fertilisation (IVF) are "chemical offsprings". Sir Elton, who has two sons with husband David Furnish, called for a boycott of the Dolce & Gabbana brand on Sunday (15Mar15), but just a day later, he was photographed carrying a D&G bag into a recording studio in Los Angeles on Monday (16Mar15).


Level Events is an absolute DREAM TEAM. Hiring them was the best decision we made for our wedding. Being the first of my close friends to get married, I went into wedding planning with an open mind, many ideas, hundreds of Instagram screenshots but not much direction. It wasn't until I met with Jenny and Taylor, that I began to see those dreams become a reality. They were just as passionate as we were to create the wedding of our dreams. They listened, were supportive of our vision, offered feedback/suggestions and this is a BIG one for me, ALWAYS provided a solution. Jenny and Taylor are extremely responsive, professional, honest, reliable and trustworthy. No matter the task, they handle it with confidence and grace. They have excellent outside vendor recommendations and connections and also provide their own services and rentals. We booked our reception lighting, DJ and Photo Booth through Level Events and everything looked amazing, was professionally installed and of high quality. Jenny was our Day Of Coordinator and our wedding day could not have been more perfect! We had complete faith with our wedding day in her hands and we were able to relax and completely enjoy our day. BEST. DAY. EVER. We truly had the best experience planning our wedding and working with Level Events, knowing they were by our side the entire way. From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience working with Jenny and Taylor. They are the absolute BEST in the business and I cannot recommend them enough! Level Events, THANK YOU!!
I got married this past weekend at Oak Creek in Irvine. As a bride doing pretty much every thing on our own, having Taylor present to make sure everything went smoothly was an enormous weight off my shoulders. Simply put, she is AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough good things about this company and how they work. My wedding was absolutely perfect! Taylor worked with all of our vendors and our wedding party to make sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. I was delighted to find them willing to even help set up all the florals, centerpieces, and various other decorations. Taylor is so kind and easy to talk to; she definitely made me feel so comfortable with her handling everything. She made it easy to be calm and relaxed on the day of the wedding. I higly recommend them for your wedding! Love love love them!!
Taylor and team were an amazing extension to our team! They worked on our setup with little time (2 weeks), designed a space that pulled in all our brand elements, and thought of every detail. It was all pulled off with such ease, despite the grueling hours and quick turnaround times. Kudos on a job well done, we look forward to working together again in the future.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives BECAUSE of Jenny and her team! Jenny was our Day of Coordinator and everyone (myself, my fiancé, my family, my vendors) LOVED working with her. She is reliable, responsive, confident, and always solution-oriented. She can literally handle anything - and does it with a smile. I had full trust our big day would be perfect, and Jenny went above and beyond to make it flawless. I was able to fully enjoy being a bride - eating/drinking/dancing the night away. I am so thankful to Jenny and her team!
I cannot recommend Level Weddings enough!! I got married this past weekend and Jenny and her team made my dream a reality without breaking the bank! First off, Jenny is everything you'll ever want or need in an event planner and coordinator. She is exceptionally organized, professional, honest and most of all, her personality puts you at ease and makes the planning process much much easier! I booked Jenny for partial planning and it was the best decision I made other than marrying my husband! LOL. She lent her opinion when I was indecisive and gave me really good honest advice. She was organized and on point with every detail even when I was being a total scatter brain. No matter how crazy things got, she never looked stressed or seemed concerned. Her positivity and calm demeanor kept me calm on a day that could have easy been very stressful for me. She went above and beyond her duty as my coordinator and helped me make my dream wedding a reality. I was able to dance all night, eat, drink and party with my guests without a single worry in the world because Jenny handled everything else!! I am confident she is the reason my 200 person wedding went so smoothly. I really can't say enough good things about Level Weddings and their team. I am so happy with her service and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family.
Working with Level events on my wedding was amazing! Jenny and her team were super organized, thoughtful, and so much fun to work with. I couldn't be happier with how my wedding turned out, it was truly a magical day and so much of that is thanks to the ease of mind from working with Level.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! We used Taylor and Jenny for Day of Coordination/planning a Month out of our big date. They were by far worth every penny spent! I plan events for work so my Husband did not think we needed a coordinator. However, after meeting with Taylor and Jenny, I absolutely knew I needed to add them to our vendor list. After our wedding the one comment my Husband had was how happy he was that I talked him into Level Events! They were so helpful in the planning process the month before our wedding, they truly made that process so much easier for us! A month out can get so stressful but after meeting with Taylor and Jenny they had a way of making me feel at ease. They were so professional, honest and knowledgeable about all our vendors, timeline and little details. They helped us with so many details I would have never thought of and I truly believe they were such a big part of making our special day so perfect. Lastly - the day of the wedding I felt nothing but relaxed and stress free because they literally did EVERYTHING to prep for the ceremony and reception. I was able to enjoy every moment of getting ready with my bridal party and not once did I worry about something at the ceremony or reception being out of place. They even were able to keep all our vendors and both the in the Bridal party's on schedule and in the right places at the right time. During the reception they made sure I always had a drink in my hand, everything started on time, and were always nearby in case we needed anything. We were even blown away that they broke everything down and placed everything we provided (AND gifts) in our honeymoon suite after the wedding; that way we could enjoy some more time with our guests. I could never express how much they did for our Special Day and if you are still looking for planning and day of coordination- please look no further!


May 17, 2010. Transit Action Network members Margie Richcreek, Janet Rogers and Ron McLinden met with the new Lee's Summit mayor, Randy Rhoads, for an hour. Lisa Lamons of MoDOT joined us.
Lee's Summit is trying hard to satisfy the transit needs of its residents and has recently expanded the service area for its Metroflex service.
Janet had previously discussed with Mayor Rhoads the possibility of Lee's Summit losing its status as a separate "urbanized area" and thus its small-urbanized area grant for transit. The current grant helps to fund the Lee's Summit Metroflex for seniors, along with some Eastern Jackson County commuter routes. The grant is based on the fact that Lee's Summit was classified as a "small urbanized area" following the 2000 census. The city has grown so much since then that it will probably lose this classification in the 2010 census, and the associated grant money would no longer be available. We discussed alternate funding for these routes, including Jackson County's ability to use Missouri legislation to start a county transit authority to fund transit. We provided information about the benefits of establishing a county transit authority, and offered to serve as a resource.
We discussed using the Missouri Transportation Development District Act for transit improvements, as has been done in the Centerpoint TDD that will fund a new route in Independence. This legislation is particularly good for public/private partnerships in transit.
In addition, we discussed the need for a contingency plan for increasing the commuter express service if gas prices spike in the near term. We hope that Eastern Jackson County communities, KCATA and Jackson County can have a plan to avoid the type of transit crisis we had in the summer of 2008 when everyone was surprised by the rapid gas price increase.
We invited Lisa Lamons of MoDOT to piggyback on our meeting. Lisa manages the state-funded Amtrak passenger service between Kansas City and St. Louis, and has been meeting with community leaders along the route to gain their support. She described recent projects to improve track capacity, and the resulting dramatic improvement in on-time performance of the Amtrak "Missouri River Runner" trains to 93 percent on-time — best of any corridor in the country. Lisa has marketing resources available and offered to help promote local events and attractions as a way to build ridership.
Mayor Rhoads was very receptive to the information. Since much of the material is new to him, he promised to give it careful consideration.

Share the post "Against phone addiction and cyber bullying: Les Roches student rewarded for child wellness initiative"
At Les Roches, we understand the global concern over the access children have to the internet and mobile phones. Problems such as phone addiction, unfiltered internet access, cyber bullying and inappropriate content pose serious dangers to health and wellbeing. As innovators and leaders, Les Roches staff and students want to use their entrepreneurial approach to help.
A group of our graduating BBA students prepared and submitted their child wellness idea, CampWell, to the Shark Tank of Wellness competition at the Global Wellness Summit in Italy. On the day, student Niccoló Andrea Saltarelli presented CampWell and won a prestigious accolade for the group.
What is the Global Wellness Summit?
The Global Wellness Summit is an invitation-only international gathering that brings together leaders and visionaries to shape the future of global wellness. "The Global Wellness Summit 2018 cannot be described as an ordinary summit. Indeed, it's more like a large incubator of fresh ideas and innovations", Niccoló said.
Each year, the Summit hosts the final of the Shark Tank of Wellness, a competition that challenges university students around the world to create bold and viable new concepts in wellness. The ideas can be focused in any area, including architecture, education, fitness, hospitality, investment, medicine, real estate, technology or tourism, just as long as they have a wellness-related application.
Out of 150 competing universities, the 2018 finalists were Claudia Martino of Cornell University, Ece Nur Temel of Istanbul Technical University and our own Niccoló Andrea Saltarelli. Each finalist was allowed to play a video introducing their concept, then give a one minute presentation in front of the Sharks and an audience comprising a 'who's who' of the global wellness world.
All the students did exceptionally well, especially when the sharks started to bite in the on-stage Q&A session. After their presentation, the students were grilled by the panel of six industry leaders, which this year included Mindy Grossman, CEO of Weight Watchers (USA) and Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer of Hyatt Hotels (USA).
Niccoló gave an inspired presentation on CampWell, packed with passion, and faced some tough questions from the Sharks. After much deliberation from the panel, he took home 3rd place and prize money of $2500, which the students donated to Aid Madagascar and Brazil Suicide prevention.
"The summit taught me one of the most valuable lessons of my life: no matter what position you achieve in a competition, if the idea is great people will consider you a winner", Niccoló said.
And it wasn't just the judges that were impressed. CampWell caught the attention of a number of industry leaders in the audience, with investors expressing their interest in collaborating with Les Roches to make the project a reality. Niccoló was even offered a role with a Canadian company to develop CampWell in North America and is awaiting formal discussions. Well done Niccoló, we're proud of you!

Report: Trump Admin to Designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Iraqi Shiite Militias as Terrorists
Edwin Mora
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is actively pressuring the Iraqi government to stop embracing Baghdad-sanctioned Shiite militia fighters and politicians backed by Iran who are hell-bent on using their unprecedented political to undermine American interests in the region on behalf of Tehran.
On Tuesday, the New York Times (NYT) reported:
Under plans recommended by [U.S. Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo and some White House officials, the State Department would designate Iran's military Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps [IRGC] as a foreign terrorist organization. It would be a first instance of the United States designating a unit of another government's military as a terrorist group; American officials said it could put United States troops and intelligence officers at risk of similar actions by foreign governments.
The plans also would designate some Iraqi Shiite militias as foreign terrorist organizations. As a result, the Iranian-trained militias — and Iraqi officials who support them — would be subject to new economic sanctions and travel restrictions.
Officials at the Pentagon and the C.I.A. — which Mr. Pompeo ran in the Trump administration's first year — oppose designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guards or the Iraqi militias as terrorist groups, fearing a backlash that could constrain American troops. Qassim Suleimani, commander of the corps' elite Quds Force and a regular visitor to Iraq, has already been designated a terrorist by the United States.
About a half-dozen American and Iraqi officials, as well as experts familiar with the proposal, shared details of the plan with NYT on condition of anonymity.
Last year, Baghdad legalized the estimated 150,000 fighters from the umbrella organization of mainly Iran-allied Shiite militias— the Popular Mobilizations Forces/Units (PMF/U) — as a component of the U.S.-trained and assisted Iraqi security forces after the militiamen helped the United States annihilate the Sunni Islamic State's (ISIS/ISIL) territorial caliphate in Iraq.
Iran maintains a heavy influence over its fellow Shiite neighbor Iraq.
The PMF, which includes the Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH) factions, considered terrorists by several U.S. officials, have gained control of many of the territories they helped liberate from ISIS and are "enjoying unprecedented military and political power in Iraq" after it won nearly a third of the seats in parliament during the recent elections, the Washington Post revealed in January.
While the U.S. military has refused to take a tough stance against the PMF fighters — at times even praising the Shiite fighters — Pompeo, some White House officials, and several lawmakers have voiced their concerns about the PMF in Iraq.
Despite opposition from the Pentagon, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) officially designated a PMF faction and its leader — Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba and Akram al-Kabi — as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs). Pompeo is also seeking to deem other PMF factions as terrorists, including AAH, which has American military blood on its hands from the first U.S. invasion of Iraq between 2003 and 2011.
Although NYT claims AAH now accepts the U.S. military presence in Iraq, the Shiite group has repeatedly threatened American troops during the anti-ISIS fight.
The inspector general (IG) in charge of overseeing the Pentagon, the U.S. State Department, some American lawmakers, and independent assessments have deemed the PMF a significant threat to U.S. troops, noting that the Shiite fighters have attacked American targets.
PMF fighters have repeatedly called for the complete withdrawal of the nearly 5,000 American troops in Iraq who are there to ensure ISIS's lasting defeat and help curtail activities at the hands of the U.S.-designated world's leading state sponsor of terrorism Iran. Moreover, the Pentagon IG found that the PMF is engaged in oil smuggling and drug trafficking that undermines security in Iraq and helps generate funds for heavily sanctioned Iran.
Nevertheless, a Pentagon spokesman told Breitbart News that fighting the Shiite force is not part of the U.S. military's mission in Iraq.
Breitbart News has long warned about the rise of the PMU's power and influence, repeatedly asking the Pentagon to reconcile its support for the Shiite troops in Iraq while describing their counterparts in neighboring Syria as a menace, to no avail.
Not all PMF factions are evil. Although the majority of PMF members are Shiite, there are also Kurd, Sunni, and Christian fighters in the organization.
Trump campaigned on a hard-line approach to Iran.
Soon after taking office, news reports surfaced that his administration was mulling labeling Iran's hard-line IRGC as a terrorist organization, prompting Iran to threaten to attack the United States if Trump moved forward with the terror label.
Trump's Treasury Department has already sanctioned the IRGC troops as terrorists.

Isles sign goalie Halak to 4-year deal (The Associated Press)
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — The New York Islanders agreed to a four-year contract Thursday with goaltender Jaroslav Halak.
Thomas Vanek panic for Montreal, Minnesota (Puck Daddy)
In Game 2 against the Boston Bruins, Thomas Vanek came to life, scoring two goals and wiping away concerns about his play after four straight games without one.
In Game 6 against the Boston Bruins, Thomas Vanek came to life, scoring two goals and wiping away concerns about his play after three straight games without one.
In Game 3 against the New York Rangers … well, we'll see.
He's gone three games without a goal, or a point for that matter, skating to a minus-3. His ice time dropped to a playoffs-low 11:41 in Game 2. Coach Michel Therrien then dropped him to the fourth line in practice, skating in a rotation with teammates like Danny Briere.
"In the Boston series, after the first [game] people started getting on him and he had a big game where he scored a couple goals," Briere said. "That's Thomas Vanek — he can be dangerous at any time, he can come out and hurt you and make a big play. I'm not too worried about him. He seems to get it done when you least expect it."
Well, yeah, that's the sunny side of Thomas Vanek, owner of hockey's most bipolar offense. He's also the Adam Dunn of the NHL, one putting one over the fence for every six strikeouts.
That streakiness has defined him but it hasn't ever crashed his stock, mainly because his highs are so high: Like that 20 points in 19 games for the Islanders from Dec. 20, 2013, through Jan. 25, 2014.
Also high: His salary. Vanek makes $7,142,857 against the cap (thanks Kevin Lowe) and is expected to be seeking as much (depending on term) when he hits the market as an unrestricted free agent this summer.
It used to be that "hits the market" meant "signs with the Minnesota Wild," as a prodigal son (well, at least for college) returns.
But like Vanek's offense, things can change in an instant. Consider what's happened to the principals in the last two months:
1. Minnesota Proved It Might Not Need Him
The Wild produced a respectable 2.69 goals per game in the playoffs, totally eclipsing the anemic 1.40 GPG they had in five games under Mike Yeo in the 2013 playoffs. Twenty-eight of their 35 goals came from forwards.
What the Wild learned in the playoffs: The future is bright. Mikael Granlund (22), Charlie Coyle (22), Erik Huala (23) and Nino Niederreiter (21) all landed in the top six goal scorers on the team.
The problem was on the blue line and in goal. As Mick Hatten wrote, in bemoaning a Vanek signing: "It feels like there's a need for another solid all-around defenseman who can move the puck for the Wild. Call me crazy, but that's where I'd spend my money in free agency."
Could they use Vanek's offense? Any team could. But at what cost to other areas of need, and at what cost to the continued maturation of young offensive stars?
2. Vanek's Stock Has, in Fact, Dropped
Perhaps the streakiness plays betting in a one-newspaper town like Buffalo or in Long Island obscurity. In Montreal, Vanek is being fitted for goat horns due to his inconsistent play; and more than a few pundits have called him out for having his mind on the money and Minnesota.
Gazette columnist Jack Todd wondered if Vanek was "suffering from a sprained Minnesota and a broken Wild" after Game 2.
Meanwhile, the venerable Eric Duhatschek writes:
When times were good in Montreal, there was some talk that the Canadiens might actually consider bidding for Vanek in free agency. Now, it seems highly unlikely, given what a negligible impact he's had on their run to the semi-finals. But will Minnesota welcome him now, after making inquiries at the deadline, but ultimately settling for Matt Moulson, because the acquisition cost and the dollars out were more affordable? Moulson wasn't a great fit in Minnesota and the New York Islanders would do well to try and kiss and make up, after dealing him for Vanek in the first place. Minnesota has the great good fortune of having Dany Heatley's $7-million cap hit disappear after this season, but committing that money to Vanek, a player of questionable playoff pedigree, seems ill-advised at this stage. The Wild seem to have a good thing going, with the group they've assembled now. Sitting out free agency this summer makes the most sense for them.
That "good thing going" could be read a few ways, and one of them is that Vanek might not be the guy you want in that room as a leader of young players.
An inescapable part of the pedigree for Vanek was that drunken mess of an Austrian team that played in Sochi. As Austrian Ice Hockey Federation President Dieter Kalt said: "[Chosing] Vanek as team captain to have an experienced player and this obviously went wrong."
Oof.
In fairness to Vanek, his struggles in the postseason might have some catalysts. There's concern he's injured, as Arthur Staple of Newsday writes:
"He briefly left Game 3 of the Bruins series after teammate P.K. Subban delivered a big hit on Boston's Reilly Smith and leg-whipped Vanek in the chest after the collision. Since that game, Vanek has two goals, but only seven shots on goal in six games."
Vanek's also complained about his usage in the playoffs, skating in a more counter-punch, defensive role with Tomas Plekanec's line. "I think it's a different role," he said, via the CBC. "We start a lot more in the [defensive] zone. But at this time of the year, it doesn't matter where you're at, you just want to be in the lineup and contribute."
(Vanek is starting 35.8 percent of his 5-on-5 shifts in the defensive zone through 13 games.)
In some ways, Vanek is experiencing what his former Buffalo Sabres teammate Ryan Miller experienced in St. Louis, after his own escape plan from Buffalo was executed. Neither of them were terrible – Vanek had 15 points in 18 regular-season games for Montreal after the Islanders trade, and is tied for the team lead with five playoff goals – but neither of them were the quintessential difference-makers they were acquired to be.
And hence, both of their stocks have fallen as free agents.
Again, it's the streakiness that's defined Vanek. One moment he's the jewel of free agency, the next he's a hot potato being tossed between St. Paul and Bell Centre. One moment he's a leading scorer for Montreal, the next he's skating fourth-line shifts with Brandon Prust.
One moment he's scoreless in three games.
The next moment he skates into MSG, posts a multi-point game, the Canadiens are back in the series and Vanek's stardom is lauded.
And no one would be surprised by it.

Satan be gone: Miroslav Satan calls it a career after IIHF worlds (Puck Daddy)
One of my favorite hockey cartoons depicts an image of Satan, the Dark Lord, sitting on his throne, surrounded by hellfire. Underneath the caption reads:
"IT'S ACTUALLY PRONOUNCED 'shuh-THAN.'"
The Devil was the detail for Miroslav Satan, 39, who announced his retirement at the IIHF World Championship in Minsk after a career that spanned 22 years. His moniker made nearly every list of "greatest hockey names." His player profile on the Yahoo Sports pages is number '666.' The fact that he looked the part – arched eyebrows over a mischievous grin – only helped cement his hellacious reputation.
But Miro Satan wasn't just an awesome name – that's Darren Rumble – he was one a tenacious goal scorer in the NHL and one of the most decorated players in Slovak hockey history.
Taken by the Edmonton Oilers in the fifth round of the 1993 Draft – eight spots ahead of Tommy Salo! – he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres after two seasons for Craig Millar and Barrie Moore , a.k.a. "who?" and "huh?" Satan would go on to score 224 goals in 578 games for the Buffalo Sabres, spanning at least three hockey jersey eras. That included 75 points in 2002-03, a career high that led to Satan's second all-star game appearance.
After playing in Slovakia during the 2005 lockout, he signed a 3-year deal with the New York Islanders, who announced the signing with a "SATAN COMES TO LONG ISLAND" headline. He played out his contract there, scoring 78 goals, and then signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins, fresh off their Eastern Conference championship.
It was with the Penguins where Satan won his only Stanley Cup, with six points in 17 playoff games. Alas, it wasn't exactly a memorable run for him: He played less than 10 minutes in each of the last three Stanley Cup Final games.
Satan signed with the Boston Bruins in 2010, and had a much more productive playoff run: 10 points in 13 games.
But he left the NHL after that season, playing primarily with HC Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia. He announced at the end of their season it would be his last, and he reiterated that position after Slovakia played its last game at the IIHF world championship in Belarus, a 3-2 win over the Danes.
"I hardly believe that it's over. However, I think that is the right decision and I stand by it," he said.
Here's Satan, in his native tongue, after the game:
Satan is Slovakia's all-time World Championship scoring leader with 75 points, and won gold with them in 2002. He played on four Olympic teams, scoring 10 goals in 22 games, although he didn't make the cut for Sochi.
One of the games we play on our podcast is called simply "The Jersey Game," in which you close your eyes, think of a player and then reveal what jersey he's wearing in the first image that comes to mind.
Which one do you see for Satan?
I'll tell you which one I wish I could have seen.
New Jersey Devils. Satan on the back. No. 6. One on the sleeve, one on the back, one on the other sleeve.
They would have sold a million of those.
Fair thee well, Miro. On behalf of all hockey fans, today we say, "hail Satan."

John McCain Dies at 81
The Arizona senator had been suffering from glioblastoma, an incurable form of brain cancer.
Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican celebrated as a Vietnam war hero and political maverick, died on Saturday afternoon at his family ranch near Sedona. He was 81.
The death of McCain, who had been suffering from glioblastoma, an incurable brain cancer, was confirmed by his office.
Meghan McCain honored her father in a statement posted to Twitter Saturday night. "All that I am is thanks to him," she wrote. "Now that he is gone, the task of my lifetime is to live up to his example, his expectations, and his love."
I love you forever – my beloved father @SenJohnMcCain pic.twitter.com/Y50tVQvlVe
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) August 26, 2018
Known for his political independence, the two-time presidential candidate earned a reputation for occasionally breaking with his party in high-profile moments during his more than three decades as a US senator. He was held captive for over five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam after his plane was shot down while on a 1967 bombing mission.
McCain was one of the most outspoken Republicans to openly criticize President Donald Trump, whether it was for his rhetoric or America-first policies. During the presidential election, Trump drew bipartisan condemnation after he suggested that McCain was not a war hero because he had been taken prisoner. "I like people who weren't captured," Trump said in July 2015.
The remark set off a longstanding feud between the two Republicans, which saw McCain breaking with Trump on several key nominations and pieces of Republican legislation, most notably providing a decisive vote that stopped the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act.
In May, the New York Times reported that people close to McCain had informed the White House that the senator did not want Trump to attend his funeral.
This is a breaking news post. We will update as more information becomes available.

Dangerous paedophile who groomed boys on Facebook jailed
By Adele Forrest | 08/11/2017
Kieron Young
A DANGEROUS paedophile who groomed schoolboys across the country on Facebook, forced them to perform sinister acts and sexually abused one 14-year-old boy has been jailed for 13 years.
Kieron Young (26), of St Mary's View, Greasbrough, admitted 13 child sex offences, including meeting the boy at an empty house and abusing him, inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and engaging in sexual activity in front of a child.
Young, who committed some offences while on bail, also admitted to possessing more than 750 indecent images of children.
Judge Roger Thomas QC, sitting at Sheffield Crown Court on November 1, deemed Young's offending so serious he gave imposed a three-year extension to his ten-year jail term.
He said Young, who was cautioned in 2008 for possessing child porn images, posed "a significant risk of serious harm".
Katherine Goddard, prosecuting, said Young sexually abused a 14-year-old Rotherham boy at an empty house in Wingfield in 2010 after grooming him on Facebook.
The victim reported the abuse to police in March 2016 and when he was arrested Young was found with 24 child porn images.
Ms Goddard said: "The incident troubled the complainant for many years, he was unable to deal with it, became depressed and would cry when alone at night."
In his victim impact statement, which was read to the court, the boy said he had failed his exams as he could not concentrate and had been unemployed since leaving education.
The court heard Young also forced a 13-year-old boy, from Derbyshire, to perform sex acts and to strip naked in April 2014 after pretending to be a girl.
He revealed his true identity to him and tried to encourage him to meet at Meadowhall, Ms Goddard said, but the boy's mum found her son naked in front of a live Skype call.
Young was traced and arrested the same month but gave a no comment interview.
In May 2016, Young contacted a 12-year-old boy in the Avon and Somerset area under the same guise and forced the boy to carry out similar acts.
"The boy agreed, but then demands from Young became more extreme," she said.
"He asked the boy if he knew any younger girls or children and encouraged the boy to take pictures of himself with his baby sister.
"The boy complied and took a picture of himself placing his penis through the bars of the cot where his sister was lying."
In November, 2016, he contacted a 12-year-old Scarborough boy on Facebook, again posing as a young girl, and forced him to send indecent images.
He also asked him to urinate and defecate on his bed.
Young was arrested for the May and November 2016 offences in January this year and was found with 755 child porn images.
In March this year, he asked a 15-year-old Northamptonshire boy to send pictures of his younger siblings via Facebook.
Young was again traced through his internet provider and arrested on June 9.
The judge ordered him to sign the Sex Offenders' Register for life and he was made subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

This is the true account of how a discouraged, time-crunched mother with big, big dreams set her timer and made her writing dreams come true.
Back in 2006, I often watched educational videos with my five children. In those days, when my progeny ranged in age from 0 to 8, if I wasn't homeschooling, I was cooking, cleaning, supervising, and entertaining. Occasionally, I would remember that I had a flicker of an idea—one that had once burned brightly before fear and disappointment doused the flame—I wanted to write.
I had written before and failed. My pursuits in professional writing had changed to the more practical pursuit of an education degree. My stint as a freelance writer had never taken off. And now, in my mid-30s, my priority was my large family. Even if I had the courage to pick up my passion for writing, I doubted I'd find the time.
Amid the piles of laundry, diapers, and sippy cups belonging to the most brilliant children on earth, I believed if I pursued my own interests, even a little, that the cost to my family would be too great. And I would never succeed anyway, so why try?
I prayed, probably after watching Veggie Tales, A Snoodle's Tale, that this little flicker of desire to write stories would grow, that I would learn where to begin, and find the time. And how that prayer was answered!
Soon after, I committed to carving out time for myself in my busy day. I already took my children to the library. Why couldn't I find books on writing? I already had a computer in my kitchen for my recipes and my email. Why couldn't I create there too? I already read Mommy blogs. Why couldn't I read writing ones instead?
A long-time fan of the Flylady's idea of working in small increments, I applied this idea for my personal time. Perhaps in my day, I could write for 10 minutes and then be a mommy for 10 minutes?
By 2008, I had established a routine in my household. I still homeschooled, still cooked every meal, still did the laundry, supervised the cleaning, and cared for my brood, but I strategically orchestrated my busy day so I could get six 10-minute increments a day to work on my projects. I knew I'd never have an uninterrupted hour, but I could train my children to leave me alone for ten minutes at a time. Woe to the child who asked for apple juice in the wrong ten minutes! It worked! Mostly.
Over the next year, I started a blog. I wrote homeschooling curriculum. I even tackled what I thought was impossible, I started a novel. My dreams were coming true every time I set the timer.
In 2014, in the midst of drafting WANITMAD, I had an idea: I should start online conversations about what it means to be a 10 Minute Novelist. Originally, I intended the community to be a good way to promote the book. In a week, I set up a weekly Twitter chat and a Facebook group. The group, 10 Minute Novelists, was born!
But what I've found, after five years, is my online community is much more than a chance to promote myself. From the very beginning, our group has had the purpose of providing tips, encouragement, and community for time-crunched writers everywhere. In the last five years, we've grown to nearly 13,000 writers worldwide. We have a website, subgroups, a staff of volunteers, weekly chats, and in the summer of 2018, we hosted our first writing conference.
I have come a long way since those apple-juice-stained, infant-carrying days. My children are now in high school and college. I have more time than ever to pursue my writing goals. I've long stopped believing the lies that my flickers of desire to write are silly or selfish. I've settled the doubts and know I deserve to pursue my dreams. I stopped listening to voices that will tell me I'll fail.
I'm so glad I found those ten minutes to write. My writing career has developed in ways I never imagined. I'm looking forward to what the future holds. And I start, almost daily, by setting my timer and doing what I can in the time I have.
My dreams are worth ten minutes.

Die Eisenbahnersportgemeinschaft Halle  ist ein deutscher Sportverein aus Halle (Saale). Heimstätte ist der Sportplatz Kanenaer Weg. Der Club steht in der Tradition der Reichsbahn SG Halle  sowie der  BSG Lokomotive Halle.

Sektion Fußball

Die ESG Halle wurde vor 1945 unter der Bezeichnung Reichsbahn SG Halle  gegründet. Der Club agierte bis Kriegsende innerhalb des mitteldeutschen Fußballs stets unterklassig. 1944 wurde Reichsbahn Halle gemeinsam mit Borussia Halle einmal kurzzeitig in die Gauliga Mitte integriert, welche vorzeitig abgebrochen wurde.

1945 wurde der Verein aufgelöst und als SG Kröllwitz neu gegründet. In der Folgezeit vollzog die lose Sportgruppe mit dem Einstieg des Trägerbetriebes Deutsche Reichsbahn und der anschließenden Eingliederung zur Sportvereinigung Lokomotive eine erneute Umbenennung in SG Reichsbahn Halle. Ab 1950 fungierten die Eisenbahner als BSG Lokomotive Halle-Mitte, nach einer Fusion mit der vom RAW unterstützten BSG Lokomotive Halle-Ost trat die BSG im Jahr 1955 als BSG Lokomotive Halle an.

Auf sportlicher Ebene war Lok Halle in der Spielzeit 1949/50 für eine Spielzeit in der damals zweitklassigen Landesliga Sachsen-Anhalt (Sowjetische Besatzungszone) vertreten, konnte sich aber mit dem vorletzten Platz nicht für die 1950 neu eingeführte DDR-Liga qualifizieren. Vorerst trat die BSG im Halleschen Bezirksklassenbereich an, stieg in der Saison 1959 gemeinsam mit Aktivist Amsdorf erstmals in die damals viertklassige Bezirksliga Halle auf. Die höchste Spielklasse des Bezirkes hielt Lok Halle zunächst bis 1964, eine realistische Chance zum Aufstieg zur II. DDR-Liga bzw. DDR-Liga bestand nicht. Bestes Ergebnis war die 1962 hinter Motor Köthen gewonnene Vizemeisterschaft.

1966 gelang noch einmal die Rückkehr zur Bezirksliga, welche die Lok gemeinsam mit Chemie Greppin und Traktor Teuchern nach nur einer Spielzeit wieder verlassen musste. In den siebziger Jahren versank Lok Halle dann endgültig in der Bedeutungslosigkeit des DDR-Fußballs.

1990 vollzog der Verein eine erneute Umbenennung in ESG Halle. Die ESG war nach der Wende ausschließlich im Halleschen Lokalfußball aktiv, Aufstiege zur Fußball-Verbandsliga Sachsen-Anhalt gelangen nicht mehr. Derzeitige Spielklasse ist die Landesklasse Sachsen-Anhalt.

Queen's Award reception at Buckingham Palace
Representatives from Diamond Dispersions have attended the Queen's Award reception at Buckingham Palace to celebrate winning a Queen's Award for Enterprise and International trade category.
Diamond Dispersion's Marian Pink and Keith Malone attended the reception, which was hosted by His Royal Highness Charles, Prince of Wales and included representatives from 50 other winning businesses.
The Queen's Award is the highest accolade in the UK for business success and was awarded to Diamond for their outstanding international sales growth over the last three years. The company is no stranger to this accolade having previously won the Queen's Award for International Trade in 2012.
"It was an honour to have attended the event and to have met members of the Royal household. It is particularly rewarding for the Company to have been recognized in the International Trade category," commented Keith Malone, Commercial Manager Lubrizol Digital Print group which Diamond Dispersions is a critical component of.
The Queen's representative, the Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, will visit Sheffield later this year to present the citation and scroll to staff to mark the achievement with the broader team.

Senate committee nixes 4 UT Board appointees
By Sam Stockard
One of Gov. Bill Haslam's main legislative pushes has run afoul of a Legislature angry about everything from Sex Week at the University of Tennessee to the handling of the football coach hiring at the Knoxville campus.
Five of the governor's 10 appointees to a revamped University of Tennessee Board of Trustees failed to make the cut Thursday before the Senate Education Committee, with one, current member Raja Jubran, bowing out before hearings started this week.
Those who failed to garner enough votes to be appointed to the board included:
-- Current board member Brad Lampley, a former UT football player and lobbyist from Nashville law firm Adams and Reese
-- Melvin Malone, a lobbyist from Butler Snow LLP and former special Tennessee Supreme Court Justice
-- Current board member Sharon Pryse, CEO and founder of The Trust Company
-- Bill Evans, former director and CEO of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.
Lt. Gov. Randy McNally said those nominees didn't receive approval, mainly because the Senate Education Committee wanted to remove lobbyists and appoint a completely new board.
"It dealt mainly with a desire to start a new, fresh board that didn't have some of the problems that the previous boards have had," McNally said, noting he agreed with Senate Education Committee Chairman Dolores Gresham on that direction.
The Senate passed the measure on a 24-7 vote, and the House with the bare minimum of 51 votes required for passage. It reduces the size of the board from 27 to 12 members, including the commissioner of agriculture and one non-voting student.
Gov. Haslam and UT President Joe DiPietro both said they felt a change was needed to make the board more efficient and effective. It removes the entire current board by July 1 and allows the governor to appoint all replacements this year, with confirmation by the Legislature required.
The governor is "disappointed by these circumstances but remains very optimistic about the outcome that will result from the UT Focus Act," Haslam spokeswoman Jennifer Donnals said.
Haslam congratulated those who received approval and added he hopes they receive final House and Senate confirmation soon, in addition thanking nominees who served on the Board of Trustees.
With this session of the General Assembly about to wrap up, Senate and House leadership didn't have enough time to vet the governor's nominees, McNally said, or it might have been able to avoid this snafu.
The UT Board of Trustees' failure to respond to legislative concerns about Sex Week at the Knoxville campus, problems with hiring the football coach and the suspension and $2.5 million buyout of former athletic director John Currie, as well as allowing neo-Nazis to speak on campus all caused problems, the lieutenant governor said.
Senate Education Committee members grilled the nominees during hearings Wednesday about Sex Week, an annual spring event in which touchy subjects ranging from gender identity, homosexuality and sexual harassment are discussed during campus events. The Legislature removed funding for the event several years ago, but student fees are being used to pay for it, enabling it to continue.
The Senate doesn't want to "micromanage" the university, McNally said, but considering it provides a good deal of funding for UT, the Legislature wants to make sure the university's goals "align" with Tennessee residents.
The lieutenant governor doesn't think this type of upheaval will hurt the university's chances of trying to make the top 25 national rankings, either. He noted the facilities, research equipment and relationship with Oak Ridge National Laboratory aren't problems.
"It's just more some little things that are not really aligned with the people of the state," McNally said.
Asked if it's OK for legislators to hold the Board of Trustees and university to one standard regarding Sex Week when several state lawmakers have been caught in sex scandals, McNally said the programs involved in Sex Week seem "to border on extreme."
And he added, "I think that our goals are to be better in that area, and that should be both with the university as well as the Legislature."
House Majority Leader Glen Casada, a Franklin Republican, disagreed with McNally's overarching argument, saying he was disappointed with the Senate's decision to nix those board nominees. He contended they have institutional knowledge and provide lawmakers with quick access, since they are lobbyists.
Casada also said Sex Week should not be a factor in the appointments.
"I would submit that the individuals they want to hold off have nothing to do with it. It's student fees, it's the students' money and we just don't control that," Casada said. "And so they're angry, and I think that's fair, but they're angry at the wrong people."
In contrast, Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, who carried the legislation setting up the new board, said the Senate wanted new members, "not retreads," and it didn't want lobbyists, either. The Legislature started removing lobbyists from boards and commissions several years ago, he said.
"It was not intended to be a rebuke of the governor," Norris said.
But even though the Board of Trustees has limits on what it can do in regard to Sex Week and other free-speech situations, the board could have done more to take a public stand on controversial subjects.
"We sort of get caught in the cross-hairs on things like that, and if they're aloof or sort of remote and not particularly responsive to us, they need to be," Norris said.
Besides Sex Week, questions were raised about the hiring of the football coach and other matters, Norris added, backing up McNally's assertion.
Following the firing of Butch Jones last year, the university appeared set to hire Greg Schiano from Ohio State University. But a social media campaign killed Schiano's chances at the coaching job because of connections to Penn State and allegations he saw former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky act inappropriately with a young man and didn't report it. Schiano denied the accusation.
After several coaches rejected the Volunteers coaching job, UT-Knoxville Chancellor Beverly Davenport replaced Currie with former coach Phillip Fulmer, who hired Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt to run the Vols program.
Some lawmakers said this year Gov. Haslam and his brother, Jim Haslam, who owns the Cleveland Browns and considered hiring Schiano there, were taking retribution against the board by pulling a power play.
Gov. Haslam has said he doesn't believe the governor should get involved in selecting the UT football coach.
Those who made the cut for the new UT Board of Trustees were:
-- John Compton, former president of PepsiCo and current partner with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. He also ran Pilot Flying J, the Haslams' company, before Jim Haslam decided to resume control.
-- Kara Lawson, former Lady Vol and current basketball television analyst for ESPN and the Washington Wizards
-- Donnie Smith, former president and chief executive officer of Tyson Foods
-- Kim White, president and chief executive officer of River City Company
-- Bill Rhodes, chairman, president and chief executive officer of AutoZone
The Legislature could confirm appointees during the next week and a half it is expected to be in session for the year, if the governor offers more nominees. Otherwise, Haslam could appoint five more people, and they could be confirmed when the 111th General Assembly convenes in January 2019, according to McNally.
By that time, though, Haslam will be out of office. The governor's office did not respond to questions about the nominations.

Tilden Illinois
Death certificate: Dallas Marion Law, Belleville, St. Clair County, Illinois, 1890-1920
Dallas Marion Law married Mae Julia Williams, daughter of Grace Logan Williams and Ed Williams. Grace Logan was the daughter of Zachariah T. "Jess" "Jesse" Logan and Mary Emaline Gibson Logan.
Dallas Law's death illustrates how deadly what today we consider to be minor health issues were before the invention of penicillin and other "miracle drugs." An otherwise healthy young man 30 years old, he died of septicemia (sepsis) from an infected furuncle (basically, a boil) on his upper lip.
