Master MW3 iPad App: mhlo.co Use this walkthrough of Laser Redirection in Sly 2: Band of Thieves to first take control of a laser, then point its beam around where you want it by reflecting it off a series of gems, eventually using it to thaw out a section of glacier, and get your paws on the book hidden within. When you have it, you can head to the next mission, Lighthouse Break In. As Sly, head to your waypoint, inside a cabin here. Listen to Bentley's advice, and use it to redirect the laser beam in here. Hop across the platforms on the right, then sneak across the narrow ledge along the left side of this passageway, pausing to avoid the lasers scanning the area. In the next room, avoid the searchlights high above, and the guards with flashlights down below. Get up onto the loft, jump across the lasers, and head to the next dangerous passageway. Here, you'll need to swing as far as you can, then balance on the pointy platform up ahead, to make it safely across. Take out the guard in the next section, then throw the switch on the wall up ahead to redirect the laser. Crawl out via the small passageway near the floor, then leave the cabin, and listen to another briefing. Afterward, head to the spire of smoke escaping from the snow nearby, creeping along the roof and taking out the guards there if you want. Put your weight on the ice jutting out from the wall to snap it partially, bouncing the laser beam off it. Then plant a gem on the ledge farther along, turning the beam ...

The Most Dangerous Places in Europe
The last summer brought an exhausting sequence of disasters throughout the Europe. The forest fires damaged at least a half of Europe, even the resort places popular among tourists. What the fire didn't manage to destroy was added by the floods.
The reason of the fires was extremely hot weather. In Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania the air temperature reached the level of +45C; more than 650 thousand people passed away because of acute conditions and cardiac arrests as well as because of direct sunstrokes. There were about 19 thousand people hospitalized in Romania.
In Slovakia the heat was the reason of snake invasion, in Spain- mice invasion, which have consumed the vegetable crop seeds in Castilla y Leon and have reached the border of the famous wine making province Rioja.
Such a burning weather became the reason of numerous fires. On the 7th of august only there were registered 236 large-scale ignitions, mostly in southern regions. In Lazio and Toscana the forests still burn; before the tourists used to walk there. In the middle of June the fires in the resort areas of Apulia, Campania, Calabria and Abruzzi were the reason of an urgent evacuation of approximately 4 thousand people. At Sardinia and Sicilia have been evacuated at least a few campsites and hotels.
During the July- August there were registered almost 2 thousand fires. For the most part it was the North area of the country and the Peloponnese peninsula which suffered. The fire almost got to the Affine; it caused the evacuation of a child-camp, 5 villages and 2 monasteries. At the same moment due tot the heat Greece suffered from electricity interruption which almost led to energy crisis.
Till this very moment the South of France is on fire. The intense smoke generation even interferes with the traffic. The city of Verdon was also captured in the fire circle.
While one part of Europe was being burnt by the sun, the other part was being flooded by rains. At the end of June the heavy-showers went straight through England having destroyed most of communication cubs. In the shire of Glostershire more than 400 people were left without electricity. The flood had also affected the sewerage activity. The most frightening thing is that the foot-and-mouth disease began to spread all over Great Britain. What will be the consequences for the country's economics- is difficult to predict.
Last week the rains had penetrated Germany as well. On 11th of august only had fallen the monthly norm of precipitations. The lands of Baden-Wurttemberg, Shelving- Goldstein, North Rein- Westville and Thuringia and Berlin were submerged. The Berlin airport Tegel had interrupted its work; the Autobahn A-5 was flooded. In a series of places some of the trailers were carried away. People are evacuated from the seaside villages and campsites. On the local authorities' reports in some areas the water level is waist-high. On the Rein the water crafts and the ferry activity is stopped; the traffic is also jammed along the river in the famous valley of castles. The culmination evening of the fireworks festival is doubtful; this year it was supposed to be held on the Middle Rein near the city of Koblenz.
In Switzerland the floods have enveloped Zurich, Basel, Sankt- Galen and the central part of the country. The inhabitants evacuate from the villages and the tourists are being rescued from the campsites. The rivers have overflown the banks; the authorities are opening the locks and dams, inundating the fields in order to save the built-up area. The flood damage is now more than 80 million dollars.
At the South of Spain the tourists had to be urgently evacuated from the campsite, they were nearly washed out with the water bursting from sky. In Barcelona the activity of the local trains was interrupted, particularly at the line which connects Barcelona with the international airport "Pratt".
The world has gone crazy. In Toscana the fires and heat is exchanged into strong rains and wind followed by coarse hail. In Florence was damaged the roof of the Uffizi gallery. At the same period of time in Milan some districts were left without electricity. The water in the city rose up to 1 meter and the traffic was paralyzed.
In Piedmont in Alps the snow fell, the temperature in the province of Cuneo was sometimes below zero and in Turin after 20C fell till 12-13C. The wind was so strong that it was tearing away the house roofs and uprooting the trees. The great snowfall blocked the motorway №27 which connects Italy and Switzerland.
At the North of France the fields are inundated, in some parts the highways were cut off. At the East of France is the Danger of the Rein's rise- the local authorities have declared 3 departments to be of a high danger.
After several weeks of heat in Romania for a couple of days the rain just wouldn't stop. One person is perished, several are considered missing. In the resort city Constanta over 400 houses are inundated. The streets have turned into full-flowing rivers, the traffic is stopped. Thousands of people are left without electricity. In village areas almost all the important roads are washed out, the bridges are destroyed.
On the 13th of august Bucharest was struck by a huge hurricane- one person dead, 10- wounded, the lifesavers had to help people out of the ruins of houses. The traffic is stopped at the most significant highways, several dozens of automobiles are damaged. The rain shower had partially inundated underground auto tunnels.
In the North of Bulgaria because of the floods 5 people died and 5 are considered missing. The rain showers were the reason for electricity interruption, damages of houses and highways.
A strong rain shower caused floods at the North of Greece, a part of houses is heated a little, and the main problems appeared in suburbs of Salonika and Alexandropoulos.
Apparently ecologists have good reasons to forebode the bride future for the present colder resorts. When during summer all over Europe the heat will reach the level of 40-50C, in northern countries the temperature will "only" raise till 30C and all the tourists will rush there.

Galvanized Metal Roofing - All You Need To Know
To protect their roofs from problems brought down by extreme weather conditions, many home owners are now using galvanized metal as the main material for their household roof.
It was designs to be free from rust and corrosion brought down by both wet and dry temperature. If you aren't careful in choosing your roofing material, you may end up getting holes in them in due time - which will result in leaky roofs that will prove to be a disaster to your home's interior.
What Is Galvanized Metal?
It undergoes a process where the metal is treated chemically with zinc. First, the metal is mixed with liquefied zinc that will result to the metal being coated with it.
Once the process is complete, the zinc will become part with the metal with several layers formed into it. The outermost layer is mostly zinc, the middle later is a combination of both metal and zinc, and the innermost layer is the metal itself. The main reason for this is to stop rust from going deep into the innermost metal, which can ruin its durability and quality.
Benefits of Galvanized Metal Roofing
Compared to other materials that serve as your roof, it has many benefits to make it the most cost-effective of all the rest; such as:
1. The toughness and durability of it is top quality. The zinc-coating allows it to resist rust and corrosion. It can also withstand extreme weather conditions, like hail, rainstorm, snow, and heat.
2. Since it is lightweight, it doesn't add that much stress to the underlying foundation of your roof; thus adding to its longevity.
3. This material is non-combustible and is fire-resistant.
4. It is known to be reusable. Considering that its make is durable and lightweight, you may use it for other purpose if you have some extras lying around.
5. Another quality of it is its ability to reflect heat from the outside. This can definitely give your interior a cool atmosphere. This quality can also reduce the cost of air-condition systems and electric bills.
6. It is proven to be maintenance free. No need to treat it with chemicals for protection, though you might need to hose it down with high-pressure water once in a while to clean it up.
Using galvanized roofing is rapidly gaining popularity in many modern or contemporary homes. It sparks of flexibility, creativity, and durability that each of us want in our very own household.

Firewood Sheds - How to Build a Shed for Your Firewood
If you have a fireplace or wood burning stove then you need to invest in a firewood shed. It may be tempting to just pile your firewood outside, perhaps covered by a tarpaulin, but this is the worst thing you can do. Wood stored on the ground gets damp and rots as ground water is absorbed, and covering with a tarp keeps the moisture in, preventing the wood from drying and aging. The end result is wood that is difficult to light and produces more smoke than heat.
Firewood sheds are designed in such a way that the wood is stored off the ground with enough air circulation that the wood can dry out and season during the summer months.
Before selecting a shed plan, you need to decide the location of your firewood shed. You want it to be close enough to your house that you can quickly get wood even in bad weather, but far enough away that it is out of the way. Firewood sheds are fairly large structures, as firewood is sold by the cord, a pile that measures 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet. This means that your finished shed will be about 10 feet wide by 5 feet deep.
The most important features of a firewood shed are that it protects wood from rain and snow, yet also allows air to circulate to ensure the wood stays dry and doesn't rot. Depending on the severity of your climate wood storage sheds can either look like a traditional shed, but only with three walls, or can be a lean to, with a one sided roof that is angled to be higher at the front than at the back so that water runs off.
You should build so that the open side is not directly exposed to wind, rain or snow, and the land round the shed should slope away from the walls to prevent standing water collecting. It should also be high enough that you can stand inside without having to bend over. All firewood storage sheds should ideally have a rack on which your wood is stacked off the ground. This stops the wood getting wet, rotting and being infested with bugs. If this is not feasible, you can lay an impermeable barrier with gravel spread on top on which wood is stored.
A firewood shed is a long term investment the idea being that you get wood in the spring when it is wet and green, leave it to dry out and season until you use it the next winter. They are not all that difficult to construct, and if you are an experienced carpenter you may be able to design and build one yourself. The less experienced woodworker should invest in a good quality set of plans which walk you through the building process step by step. A complete tool and materials list should be provided along with a cut list that tells you the exact dimensions and type of wood for each piece of the shed.

How to Transport Ladders, Safely and Legally
One of the difficulties many people face with ladders is transporting them about from A to B. Due to their need to be long, ladders can be tricky to transport, and some people often take risks in transporting ladders which can be dangerous and illegal.
Different types of ladder are different lengths and so depending on the type you are transporting will also depend on the type of transport required.
Extension ladders for instance are quite long and are usually transported on roofs of vehicles. Most people who transport extensions use a van, this is because it is ling enough the ladder can be strapped on top and doesn't protrude over the van's length.
This is important as a protruding ladder is not only dangerous, especially if somebody runs into you where it can cause serious injury, it is also illegal.
While extensions by their very nature extend, its important that when collapsed it doesn't extend the length of the vehicle, if it does you should get a shorter ladder, or use a longer vehicle. Some smaller extension ladders can actually be fastened on the roof of long wheelbase cars such as an estate but they should also be strapped securely, an insecure ladder is a potential missile if you have to stop suddenly, again the potential for causing serious injury is very real.
Step ladders are a lot easier to transport than extensions as they are shorter. They can be moved about inside vans which removes the worry of having to secure it on the roof. With the seats down, many steps can be transported in cars too, but they should be secure as again, sudden braking could see the ladder shoot forward, injuring drivers, passengers or other road users if it goes through the windscreen.
For those requiring only a shorter ladder, a surveyor's ladder is perhaps the best solution. Surveyor's ladders can be collapsed to a small size and can easily fit into the boot of most cars. These are ideal for people that don't need to work on height too high and as they are placed in the boot there is no need for them to be strapped down.
When transporting any ladder it is important to ensure you have the correct vehicle, or correct ladder for the vehicle you are using, otherwise you may find yourself in trouble with the law, or worse.
