I bought this book years ago but lost it before having a chance to finish it, so my memories are a bit fuzzy.

It starts off with this woman coming to England seeking asylum. The officials kept her detained, but let her free after a while. She wears a scarf around her neck to hide a scar she got from her native country. I think she is African, but not 100% sure.

Anyway she didn't really know anyone close so she ended working in a farm with two other immigrants who were released alongside her. One of the other immigrants hanged herself at the farm, for some reason or the other. After getting enough money, she left to find this British couple she met from her home country. Apparently they wer

The problem came up about a week ago on my fairly new PC. It's a decent rig so I'm sure it's not because of outdated hardware (i5-2500k, 8gb RAM, 7200rpm HDD). It was operating fine until a week ago when the dreaded black screen came up. Now boot-up time is noticeably longer. It has crashed twice since that.

After booting up, everything else seems to work fine. I can run resource intensive programs like Battlefield 3 without a hitch. I ran memtest and memory diagnostic tool but they didn't show any error. Any idea how I should look further into the problem, or should I just format the HDD?

EDIT: Ran HDD diagnostic tool, no error. I don't have many unique programs on startup; only stuff l

I only remember bits of the story, but it's about a guy and a girl faking her death to scam her husband/insurance company. Then she betrayed him and ran away with the money. I remember a scene where he was fake killing her, and they ended up having sex. There might be blood/syrup involved in that scene.

Edit: Solved!

'Kill Me Again'

Not that great with using Direct Hit, I'm still relying on splash damage to get my kills. Let me know if you're interested.

First of all, sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining but I was wondering if anyone encountered the same problem as I did.

I uninstalled and stopped playing TF2 for about 6-12 months, but thought I'd give it another go since it's gone F2P. However, after reinstalling I've found out that all of my unlocked weapons are gone. Weird thing is, I still have my hats from promotions like Halloween Update and Alien Swarm.

I read on the wiki that some people have had their weapons taken off them for using hack and idling programs, but I have never used them. I also have my Cheater's Lament hat (not that it means a lot) from around 2009. I contacted Steam Support but they said I could have used them

I think the popular opinion is that Varys is trying to install the Targaryen back to the Iron Throne, and there are statements in the books that support this theory. For example, we know from GOT that it was Illyrio and Varys who discussed the invasion from Khal Drogo in the sewers of King's Landing. Since he began his service as the master of whisperers to the Targaryen King Aerys II, it makes sense if he is still loyal to the old house.

However some of his other actions makes me believe that the character is much more complex than that. He had no reason to save Gendry from Cersei's assassins other than his promise to Ned Stark. The Spider is not dumb enough to believe that honour is somet

This subreddit convinced me to try building my own PC (thanks guys!) but before buying the components I'd like to ask what you think about them. The specs are:

CPU: Phenom II X4 3.5Ghz

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6950

Motherboard: MSI 870A-G54

Power Supply: Antec Truepower New 650W

The specs are a bit too pricey to be honest, so cheaper alternatives are welcome. I have no idea which brand of RAM I should go for, any recommendations?

The main purpose of this PC is to play games like Battlefield 3 and Dragon Age 2. What do you think about modding AMD 6950 to AMD 6970? Has anyone actually tried this, and how safe do you think this is?
