COLUMBUS –- The rebound wasn't quite as strong as the Crew wanted, but it still managed to keep one unbeaten streak alive.
Coming off its first defeat Saturday against Los Angeles, the Crew showed they was eager to put the past behind with a strong start at San Jose. However, Columbus could not hold leads and settled for a 2-2 tie on Wednesday to keep it's undefeated record on the road.
"We thought we should have gotten three [points] out of the game," midfielder Eddie Gaven said. "We played well enough to get them, but at the same time we'll take one point on the road."
Gaven scored in the 4th minute before Arturo Alvarez responded less than 62 seconds later. Chad Marshall made it 2-1 for the Crew in the 70th with a patented header off a Guillermo Barros Schelotto corner kick, but the Earthquakes' Chris Wondolowski scored via a free kick nine minutes later.
The Crew (6-1-3) have two wins and three ties on the road and will play at Colorado this Saturday.
"We have the mentality [that] we should win every game, but we'll look back on it and say [that] a point on the road isn't a bad result," midfielder Robbie Rogers said. "I wondered how the guys would react to the first loss of the season. I thought everyone did a really good job."
Coach Robert Warzycha made three personnel changes from Saturday: Eric Brunner replaced Andy Iro at centerback, Jason Garey got the call at forward instead of Steven Lenhart, and Emilio Renteria made his first start of the season on the right flank.
Those moves meant that Adam Moffat would start on the bench while Gaven would take over at center midfield, a call that sacrificed defensive prowess for offensive punch.
Warzycha's revised lineup immediately clicked and not even an entire minute had been played when Rogers just missed a chance from a Gaven service. Not much later, Quakes keeper Joe Cannon was forced into action as he saved Garey's diving header.
For the first four minutes, it felt as though Wednesday's match would be a repeat of Saturday's loss to Los Angeles, a match in which the Crew shot 21 times but couldn't find the back of the net. Gaven's goal early goal, however, changed all that.
The play started with right back Jed Zayner's cross to Schelotto on the left side, who's shot was stopped by Cannon. The rebound came to the feet of Garey and he tapped it across the goalmouth to assist Gaven in his third goal of the season.
"It was one of those times there was a little open space and I ran through," Gaven said. "The ball bounced to Jay and he touched it to me. That was definitely one of the easiest goals of my career."
After Alvarez netted the equalizer within a minute, the Crew regained their composure and had San Jose backtracking through the quarter-hour mark, but they were unable to score a second and the Earthquakes assumed control.
As long as the Crew have Schelotto, though, Columbus are never more than a restart away from scoring, a fact proved when Columbus were awarded a corner kick after Cannon flubbed a Schelotto floater.
Schelotto himself took that corner and served up a tantalizing ball to Marshall, who hit a perfectly placed snap header from 15 yards to score the type of goal Crew fans have expected from the two for the past three seasons.
"Guillermo serves a really good ball and Chad is great in the air, so we're always thinking we should get a goal every game off corner kicks," Rogers said.
The goal was especially gratifying, since the Crew failed to convert any of the 15 corners it had against the Galaxy.
But Columbus' joy was short-lived and, not more than 10 minutes later, San Jose's Wondolowski scored the equalizer.
Nonetheless, the Crew walk away with a good taste in their mouth because, not only could the game easily been a loss for either team, but also because they found that goal-scoring spark that they lacked against Los Angeles.
"It was good to see the team have a spark," Gaven said. "Now we need to work on keeping that level the whole game."

Namco Bandai Games has revealed ANBU Itachi will be available as downloadable content.
i been examining this and it doesn't look like any new moves tho... same as reg itachi :/
This was my problem with this specific series of games. They tend to withdraw so much, which should be in from the get-go. Just to run it as pre-order incentives, or paid DLC.
It's a joke. However, it's clearly going to work.
Still nothing new for NA who is the biggest purchaser of this series of games.
Makes NO sense....quick lets piss off everyone who actually buys our game!

So, I need to write a birthday post but as I sit here sucking in my much needed oxygen, I realized that I should share something with you.
Pregnancy reduces your immune system's efficiency. This is how it keeps your body from destroying that little creature you are growing - which to your immune system is an intruder.
I've learned this the hard way over the last two weeks. H1N1, a UTI and now......ready for the icing and little candy baubles for the cake?
Sinus infection with PNEUMONIA!
My regular physician holds office hours on Saturdays - so I went down there yesterday after a crappy sick birthday and feeling even worse Saturday when I awoke.
He sent me straight to the hospital.
I also learned that we have two hospitals in this county and one ER is full of people who have been shot, and one plays genteel new age music while surrounding you with soft wood tones and pastels and each ER patients gets a private room with a door that closes.
Guess which one my doctor sent me to?
They dropped an IV on me and a sent respiratory who pronounced pneumonia and everybody came by to jam stuff in my IV of various ilk and I napped until the ultrasound lady showed up to check and monitor the baby.
My best story of my visit was that after they had me doped up and hooked up, they decided they wanted some pee. So the IV and I waddled down to the bathroom - and I do the WIPE of the va-jayjay and I've got the cup in my teeth......and.....I am sort of really sleepy and suddenly I realize I've peed.
In the toilet.
Not in the cup.
So I had to go back and tell my RN that I had FORGOTTEN to pee in the cup.
Which she thought was fairly funny.
They sent me home after several hours where I promptly went to bed, waking only for some dinner and then back to bed. My plan today is to lay on the sofa and watch football, and sleep.
Not necessarily in that order.
I leave you with a pic of the boy, executing a very stylish dart throw at the fair.

If your mansion house needs haunting, just call Russell Brand! Warner Brothers and Brand are taking on the British kiddie series about renting spirits from the netherworld, RentaGhost, and rebooting it for American cinema.
Deadline is reporting that Warner Brothers is developing RentaGhost to have a bit more of a ghoulish "Beetlejuice" flavor, starring Russell Brand.
He'll play Fred Mumford, a recently deceased guy determined to be more productive as a corpse than he was during his life as a slacker. He attempts to set himself up in a business with a couple of other ghouls, starting a temp agency for the dead. Mumford and cohorts rent out ghouls and ghosts to the living, until things go awry.
Could be interesting. Here's the title song and an opening scene from the TV show:

LONDON — David Beckham is retiring from soccer, ending a career in which he transcended the sport with forays into fashion and a marriage to a pop star that made him a global celebrity.
The 38-year-old former England captain, who recently won a league title in a fourth country with Paris Saint-Germain, said Thursday he will quit after the season.
"It's a good way to go out," Beckham said in Paris. "It's every athlete's dream, every footballer's dream to go out on the top — on top form or winning a trophy ... leaving as a champion."
Beckham, whose curling free kicks and pinpoint crosses became his signature as a player, has two more matches left at PSG — against Brest on Saturday and at Lorient on May 26. He has been giving his salary to a children's charity.
Asked what led to his decision, Beckham replied with a laugh: "Probably when (Lionel) Messi was running past me in that home game," referring to PSG's Champions League match against Barcelona last month.
Beckham started his career with Manchester United and also played for Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy, winning titles with all those clubs. He played on loan with AC Milan and made 115 appearance for his country, a record in England for someone other than a goalkeeper.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter described the midfielder as "one of the most iconic figures in global football."
"It's the end of a chapter of an amazing story," Blatter wrote on Twitter. "David grew up as a football loving child & achieved his dreams, and unquestionably inspired millions of boys & girls to try & do the same.
"Whatever he chooses to do next I'm sure he'll approach with the same dedication & good grace he displayed the last 21 years."
Beckham's fame went beyond the field, with his haircuts and clothing scrutinized as often as his play, earning him a string of lucrative sponsorship deals.
"Sometimes that has overshadowed what I have done on the pitch or what I have achieved on the pitch," Beckham said in a television interview conducted by former United teammate Gary Neville. "And as much as I say that doesn't hurt me, of course it does.
"I am a footballer that has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world, played under some of the biggest and best managers and achieved almost everything in football."
Beckham was immortalized with the 2002 movie "Bend it Like Beckham," which told the story of a British teenage girl of south Asian heritage struggling with family pressures and cultural expectations to play the sport she loves. Beckham's retirement led to a flood of tweets dubbing the day "End it Like Beckham."
"If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy," Beckham said. "I'm fortunate to have realized those dreams."
It was his appearances with England's national team that raised his profile internationally.
"To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country," Beckham said. "I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about their country. I'm honored to represent England both on and off the pitch."
Beckham is now living in London with wife Victoria, a former "Spice Girls" singer, and their four children.
"I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family. I'm grateful for my parents' sacrifice, which made me realize my dreams," he said. "I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period."
Victoria Beckham said the couple is "excited about the next chapter in our lives."
"The children and I are so proud of David. It's been an incredible journey for us all as we have watched him play at clubs all over the world throughout the last 15 years," she said.
"Myself and the children have cheered him from the stands, as he has held high trophies ... this was not an easy decision to make, and to me and the children he will always be an amazing sportsman and a devoted husband and father."
With United between 1992 and 2003, Beckham won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and the Intercontinental Cup.
Beckham left United in 2003 shortly after manager Alex Ferguson accidentally struck Beckham's eye with a soccer boot. Ferguson announced his retirement from Manchester United last week.
Beckham spent four years in Madrid — winning the 2007 Spanish title before making the surprise move to Major League Soccer, where he won the title twice.
"I just want people to see me as a hardworking footballer," Beckham said. "Someone who is passionate about the game, somebody who every time I have stepped on the pitch I have given everything that I have."
There were highs and lows in Beckham's international career. He was blamed for England's elimination from the 1998 World Cup for his red card against Argentina, but scored the winning goal against the same team at the World Cup four years later.
Beckham responded to jeering at the 2000 European Championship with an obscene hand gesture to England fans, but was lauded by the same supporters little more than a year later when his last-minute free kick against Greece secured a place at the 2002 World Cup.
England dropped Beckham in 2006 in an effort to renew the team with younger players after a quarterfinal exit at that year's World Cup. England coach Steve McClaren recalled him the following year after a poor run of form, and he returned for the remainder of England's unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 2008 European Championship.
His last England appearance came against Belarus in October 2009, and he missed the 2010 World Cup because of an Achilles tendon injury. He still went to South Africa as part of Fabio Capello's staff.
"I want to thank all my teammates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from," Beckham said. "I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed."
Beckham had already started planning for his post-playing career earlier in the season, becoming an ambassador for Chinese soccer.
"Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead," Beckham said. "I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back."
Beckham played a key role in helping London win the bid to host the 2012 Olympics. He also was involved in England's unsuccessful bid to host the 2018 World Cup, and the English Football Association wants to draw on his influence and star power in the future.
"He is an iconic figure in the game and produced wonderful performances for his clubs, particularly Manchester United," FA chairman David Bernstein said. "When you look at his playing and work for England, no one would ever accuse him of being unpatriotic and not giving everything for his country.
"He is a real loss to the game and I am sure the FA will want to embrace him and to get him closely associated with the organization."
Beckham's retirement comes a week after the 71-year-old Ferguson ended his managerial career.
"In the week following Sir Alex Ferguson retiring, which came as a bit of a shock, now we have the iconic David Beckham coming out of the game," Bernstein said.

After more than five years of dating, Mikka and Samurai Cathy eloped to Massachusetts. Their reasoning was that they'd never be able to afford an actual wedding, and eloping would deny Ninja Vicki the opportunity to ruin things. Most of us were happy for them. Ninja Vicki, obviously, was not.
What made Ninja Vicki even more furious was the letter she received from Samurai Cathy soon after the eloping. In essence the letter said that Cathy and Vicki's blood feud was over, that they were not destined to be locked in mortal combat until the end of their days, and that whatever started the feud was probably Vicki's fault but she forgives her regardless of what it was. It was easy for Cathy to let go of a feud whose inciting incident couldn't be recalled by either participant – she had now had a husband. Vicki, on the other hand, had nothing but the feud in her life. She had become the dominant ninja in the area, she had free reign of the town, but she had no one to share her ninja life with. Tina the Lesbian had a fiance. Anonymous Doug was gone. So was Bernie the Half-Cyborg Cat. The old crew was gone. Well, not totally, I was still around but the thought of us clinging together as the last members of a deteriorated social circle was not enticing in the least.
Vicki kept promising to find Cathy and kill her, but her heart wasn't in her threats. Maybe she figured out even if she succeeded she'd still have nothing. Maybe she felt that it would be useless to finish a feud that one side wasn't fighting anymore. Could have even been that even if Cathy beat her, she wouldn't kill Vicki. Then she'd be left with nothing and the humiliation of losing. Or it probably was that Vicki didn't want to bother traveling to Massachusetts to hunt them down.
Cathy got a job as a bouncer in a Cambridge bar. Harvard and MIT kids are barely smart enough not to fuck with the woman in the kimono with the samurai sword on her belt. Mikka found work at a New England Clam Chowder factory. He's hoping to make assistant supervisor in the next year so they can start planning to start a family.
Ninja Vicki still lives in the house near mine. All alone. Every other night I can hear her playing Peter Cetera songs from her stolen entertainment center. I still catch her from time to time stealing my orange juice, but I think she gets caught on purpose just to have someone to talk to.
We'll probably die alone together… if that makes any sense.

To commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War 888,246 ceramic poppies are being installed in the Tower of London's moat. The art, called Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red, represents one poppy for each dead British soldier in WW1. They have gone on sale which means millions going to military charities. I think it's a wonderful idea and ordered one today in memory of my Great Uncle Maxwell born in Govan 1896 and killed in action, Gallipoli 1915.
It's good because a friend of mine is going soon on a cruise and is dropping off at Turkey where the Helles Memorial is built in memory of those poor souls. I have had a lovely plaque made and my friend is going to leave it there although I do intend to visit the memorial myself.
On the scroll that my great-grandparents were sent on their son's death it reads: Let those who come after see to it that his name be not forgotten. I like the opportunity to do just that.

The final fate of Timesplitters developer Free Radical will be revealed this week, with a formal announcement from the company's administrator ReSolve Partners to take place later this week.
Free Radical went into administration late last year, following several canceled projects and the dismal performance of their PlayStation 3 exclusive, Haze, earlier in 2008. After laying off a large percentage of the developer's staff, administration firm ReSolve Partners began offering the company for sale, indicating strong interest from multiple parties. Now ReSolve readies an official announcement for Wednesday, February 4th, when we'll find out what has come of said strong interest.
With the fate of at least one extremely compelling property on the line, we'll be waiting with bated breath for Wednesday's announcement. Stay tuned!

DETROIT -- Creating mobile car apps for China has its share of challenges, as John Du well knows.
Du, director of GM's China R&D Division, has to deal with a street address system that has no format, and with nearly a dozen language dialects, voice recognition technology takes on a whole new meaning.
Speaking at the Telematics Detroit 2014 conference here, Du revealed a mobile apps market that makes the U.S. pale in comparison.
When it comes to social networking apps, China has the equivalent of those in the West. There's Weibo, a microblogging service with more than 505 million users. Weichat is China's biggest messaging platform with a billion users. And, then there's Baidu's navigation app that has 300 million subscribers.
So with all those connected Chinese, Du figured why not an app that would allow them to simply scan a license plate in front of them in order to connect to the owner's cell phone.
The prototype app, called DiDi Plate, uses an Android phone's camera to scan the plate and send it to a cloud ID service. The driver who scanned the plate can then start texting the other driver.
"Even if the other driver didn't register this app, you can still give them greetings and comments," Du said.
In a video demonstrating the product, a male driver uses DiDi Plate to scan and then message a woman driving in front of him. He asks her for a date, which she quickly accepts.
In another scenario, a woman's car is blocked in a parking lot, so she scans the plate of the car that boxed her in and tells the driver to move the vehicle.
Other creative uses: Message people to tell them they're terrible drivers.
Du's team even adapted the app to work with Google Glass. Just stare at the plate and it scans it and brings up the persons online profile.
While in the U.S. the ACLU would likely have a field day with DiDi Plate, the legal quagmire in China may not be as quite a deep.
Du, however, said the main stumbling block in moving from prototype to production is that GM wants apps that are embedded in the car's infotainment system, so an app that exists only on as a smartphone download may never see the light of day.

Develop more Confidence at work with this professionally-recorded hypnosis MP3 download from Hypnotic World.*
Is your place of employment somewhere you would rather not go to?
Maybe you find it difficult to speak up for yourself at work - or perhaps your colleagues make you feel invisible by not including you in their conversations?
Unless you are normally a very outgoing person then you could find it hard to suddenly change from a mouse to a lion - and anyway that is a bit drastic.
But - small, gradual changes in the way that you interact with other members of staff will be easier for you to manage and for them to accept.
This Confidence at Work hypnosis session can help you to develop effective communication skills and instil the confidence and self-belief required for you to project your thoughts in a way that will automatically command the respect and admiration of others.
This audio download focuses on body-language awareness, positive suggestions and changing thought processes at an unconscious level - so that after just a short while these changes seem so natural to you that you will wonder whatever was holding you back in the past.
You probably spend a lot of your time at work - so the 30 minutes of listening to this download will be well worth the investment that you need in order to make your place of employment a pleasurable place to be in.
How this hypnotherapy audio session can help you
Hypnosis is a safe and natural state which we all experience from time to time. Hypnotherapy on the other hand, utilizes this state by engaging your imagination and your subconscious mind to work harmoniously together to find a solution to your problems.
This download is recorded by an experienced and fully qualified, practicing British, female hypnotherapist with a very soothing voice that will lull you into a beautifully relaxed state. Most people say they wish they could stay this relaxed - even after the hypnotherapy session is over but of course they have to return to normal conscious awareness.
However you do then have the ability to use the technique again whenever you wish to re-experience it.
This Confidence at Work hypnotherapy session can be listened to in the comfort of your home surroundings and is available in MP3 or CD format.

Explanation of 120v single phase, 240v Split Phase, and 208v 3-phase
Entry posted by Samurai Appliance Repair Man ·
63,919 views
Here is a clear and simple explanation of understanding the differences between 120v single phase, 240v Split Phase, and 208v 3-phase from Academy Fellow Keinokuorma:
There have been multiple threads discussing this electrical topic. Because of increasing demand of this information, I will try to explain this shortly and comprehensively.
On the background there is the three-phased transmission network. This is wired by three separate wires that normally hang adjacently along rows of poles. The voltage between each wire is 11kV, and the waveform graph drawn for each wire's voltage (and current too) are one third of a cycle off each other. That is, there is a 120 degree phase shift between each live wire's waveform, 360 degrees being one full cycle.
The relatively high voltage for the transmission network is selected, because there are two interesting laws about power. First, by principle, electrical power taken by any load can be calculated by multiplying the current flowing through the load, by the voltage over the load. Second, wattage loss at transfer can be calculated by multiplying the transfer line's resistance, by the square (or second power) of the load current. Therefore, for transmitting the same power, if double voltage is used, half the current is needed, and 75% less power is lost on the trip! Let's just say that if they use 11kV instead of 110V for transfer (100x voltage) they need the hundredth of current, and lose only a ten thousandth of power in transit, compared to the idea that it was 110V all through the Great United States of America. The other choice would be using at least one hundred times thicker wire, which is not reasonable at all.
It is not safe to feed this high voltage directly into households. Instead, the voltage from the transmission network will be stepped down by transformers. The usual layout is that single-home buildings have their own stepdown transformers, and larger residential buildings in big cities may have one or a couple larger transformers.
120V: First off, the standard household voltage in North America is 120V AC, 60Hz. Most appliances are designed for this. There can be some variations in the voltage depending on the load and condition of the network. The stepdown transformer has its primary winding wired between two of the three transmission wires.
Due to growing demand of electrical heating (in dryers, ranges, water heaters and sometimes house interior heating) a system has been required that allows usage of 120V designed electronics, and is capable of providing more power for the household. For the same reason that the transfer network doesn't work with such a low voltage, the single 120V circuit can only give so much power without the power loss becoming astronomical. There are two methods used to avoid this while keeping compatibility.
240V or split phase: For small residential buildings, the usual method is to rig up a 240V stepdown transformer (instead of 120V) in which the secondary winding is split into two 120V windings (hence the name "split phase"). The center tap is then grounded and fed to the house as if it was the neutral wire of the old 120V system, and each end is wired as a separate 120V live wire. Their waveforms have a half-cycle offset, or 180 degrees, when measured against the neutral wire. The normal 120V designed machinery does not care which live wire you use for them as long as you connect them between a live and neutral wire. Appliances in the home can be distributed on either live wire to maintain balanced loading, and when heating requires high power, the concerned appliance can be connected to both live wires to operate the heating element, providing 240V for it.
208V: For larger residential buildings and blocks especially in big cities, as well as shopping malls etc, there is a system made out of two or three phases. In these cases, one or more of full three phase stepdown transformers are used to feed power to the building. These transformers have three primary windings, each wired between two of the transmission wires, in a triangular fashion. There are also three secondary windings on such a transformer. Normally these are coupled at one end, the center tap is grounded and fed into the house as the neutral wire, while their other ends are fed into the house as separate live wires. Each live wire reads 120V against the neutral point, and between any pair of live wires, you get the reading of 208V. Then, each home in the building is fed with two or three of these live wires as well as the neutral. The rest happens much like on the split phase. Appliances can be distributed on different live wires, and heating elements will be connected between two live wires.
Now, mostly the differences the customer is concerned with, are just that appliances with 240V designed elements will produce 25% less heat on a 208V system. Some appliances are produced in two models designed for the two systems, some are produced in one model designed for 240V with the power reduction noted in the manual, and some are produced in one model with 208V designed elements as optional spare parts.
If you operate a 240V designed device on a 208V system, often you will not notice much retardation in the performance. It WILL cause your oven, stove or dryer to reach selected temperature slower, and the thermostat will therefore cycle on for longer periods. However, total energy consumption is not greatly affected.
Be aware that mismatching a 208V designed device into a 240V system will cause the element(s) to produce 33% more heat than they are designed for. This will greatly shorten their life span and may cause fire hazard. Temperature in the oven, stove or dryer will probably fluctuate more than what is desirable, and the thermostat will cycle on for short periods. Especially in the case of the dryer, the risk of fire hazard is high.
I will add more pictures when I have drawn some decent ones. Meanwhile, here is a haphazard hand sketch.

Our founder and CEO Jessica Arman uses only premium, natural ingredients in My Magic Mud's product line. Jessica knew that nature could provide powerful oral care benefits. After years of research and development, Jessica ensures every tube is enriched with simple and clean ingredients. Our products are made with premium ingredients—formulated with an uncompromising commitment to natural health and made with the highest ethical standards.
"I absolutely love their products! I have been on a journey of cleaning out all toxic products in my life because of the things I found that can cause issues in your body with your hormones. I was so glad that these products use clean and safe ingredients for my entire family! I can confidently use this tooth paste and know that it is not adding toxins into my body.
"Our household has been using the My Magic Mud, Activated Charcoal Oral Rinse( Alcohol Free) for about 2 weeks now. When we first got it and opened it, I have to say the smell was extremely strong but when you rinse with it, it's not as strong as it smells. I love how clean my mouth feels after using this product. I don't typically use mouth wash because I just don't like the taste of them. With the My Magic Mud, the taste is so smooth it doesn't bother me. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a new mouth rinse.
"I've been using it for a year and I've tried the wintergreen and spearmint but I would have to say peppermint is my favourite because of how the peppermint feels. It is also super natural and safe that I put it on my hives that I had and they went away and felt instantly better after I put it on! I love this product so much :)
"Received some at the Natural Products Expo; really love it and came looking for a Cyber Monday Deal. All I want for Christmas is a water filter and this toothpaste! For some reason, it makes me enjoy brushing my teeth. I'm slowly switching out all toxic products in my household, and am very happy with the ingredients (and results) of Magic Mud. I like the paste when I'm short on time, and the powder for a deep clean. One quick wipe will do the trick for keeping your sink clean - 10 seconds tops. Don't use it for your first time while you're running late for work though
"I love MAGIC MUD! I've been using it for the past few years and I will not be going back to anything else. I began using Magic Mud because I was getting burns on the corners of my mouth from regular toothpaste. I actually bought some at the New Braunfels farmers market the first time and was completely sold by my second use. I'm so proud to use a local product too.
"I'd been curious about/following this page for months, but I'd found it right after I bought a more expensive (almost double the price!) whitening toothpaste. I was lucky enough to win a tube of the paste right around Thanksgiving. The customer service was incredible, and shipping was super-fast! I noticed a difference immediately: within the first two weeks, it had outperformed the more expensive paste - without tooth sensitivity!! I just bought the polish too, because I figure it's probably a great boost - and I intend to be a long-term customer. Thank you for making this product!! I'm already smiling more, and I love that my nephews are creeped out/fascinated by it
"Love the name, love the packaging, love the flavor, love the clean-feeling teeth, but more than anything i just love the dirty grimy black n' nasty "sludgemouth" i get when using this glorious product. sure it might stain the ol' kitchin sink a little bit but a little desecration and blasphemy never hurt anybody amirite??? After being prescribed/pushed/recommended "extra-strength extra-fluoride prescription toothpaste [clinpro 5000]" from my dentist, i proudly and brazenly hucked that abominable tube of sorry toothlube away forever once i picked up a ripe slice of this unholy magma I recommend the motherlovin' heck out of this abzu-lutely lifechanging product
"My Magic Mud is the most natural dentifrice on the market. The product is full of surprises as it both cleans your teeth and makes them whiter. Imagine using a black toothpaste to make your teeth SPARKLE.
"I am a Biological Dentist and "My Magic Mud" is a product I use being that it is 100% all natural, improves your oral health and makes your teeth brighter and whiter.

I would like to spend two months in the States. I found the above mentioned link for Koreans on how to get a toursit visa. I'm wondering if anyone else has been through the process. I am employed at a university in Korea. 1) Has anyone else out there tried to get a US tourist visa for their wife? 2) Did you have to do the interview? 3) If you want to travel back and forth, say once a year for two or three years during the summer, does the INS give you a hard time about it? 4) Does a Korean married to a Canadian get any special treatment? I have heard of some Koreans here having a 10 year visa, meaning they can travel back and forth as much as they like for the next 10 years. Does anyone have any info about that? Thanks for your help!

What is this project?
It is a project to install 310 feet of new concrete sidewalk on the north side of Clearwood Drive from the existing sidewalk to Salem Road.
Why is it important?
This new segment will provide a completed connection to the existing sidewalks on Salem Rd near Holcomb school.
What is the current status?
This project is complete.
How is this project being funded?
Funding for this project comes from the Street Fund. The Street Fund is financed through two sources:
1) Turn-back revenues from the State of Arkansas. The State collects motor fuel taxes, which are returned to the City on a per-capita basis.
2) Turn-back monies received from the County Road Millage Tax. The City receives 80% of the road millage levied by the Quorum Court on real and personal property located within the city.

DENVER (AP) Danilo Gallinari scored 26 points and the Denver Nuggets rebounded from a rare home loss to beat the Utah Jazz 110-91 on Saturday night.
Andre Iguodala added 18 points and Kenneth Faried had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Nuggets, who improved to 11-2 at home this season after their eight-game winning streak at the Pepsi Center was snapped Thursday in a loss to Minnesota.
The Nuggets extended their recent success against Utah at home, winning for the eighth time in the past 10 meetings between the teams at the Pepsi Center.
Paul Millsap had 15 points to lead the Jazz, who were without center Enes Kanter (ankle) and guard Mo Williams (right thumb surgery).
Leading by four at the break, the Nuggets stretched their advantage to 60-47 by outscoring the Jazz 11-2 to start the third quarter, culminating the run with a 3-pointer by Ty Lawson, who finished with 14 points, and a driving dunk by Iguodala.
The Jazz responded with a 12-0 run of their own, getting successive 3-pointers at one point from Randy Foye and Marvin Williams to cut the deficit to 60-56.
But Denver gained ground again, taking an 83-72 lead into the fourth quarter after Andre Miller drained a 3-pointer from the corner in the final moments of the third.
The Nuggets put the game away with a 15-3 burst starting the fourth quarter, going in front 98-75 when Iguodala followed his three-point play with a fastbreak layup. Utah's only score during that stretch came on a 3-pointer by Gordon Hayward.
With the Nuggets down 42-41, Gallinari drove the lane, muscled in a dunk and added a free throw after he was fouled on the play. He totaled 13 points in the first half, helping the Nuggets take a 49-45 lead after they trailed by as many as six points in the second quarter.
NOTES: Utah's Mo Williams is expected to miss six weeks after undergoing surgery in New York on Friday to repair his injured thumb. Kanter missed a second consecutive game because of a sprained right ankle. ... Kenneth Faried finished with his 15th double double of the season for the Nuggets. ... The Nuggets have won 36 of 38 games when scoring at least 100 points, including the last 21 in a row. ... Utah split a road back-to-back after winning at Phoenix on Friday. ... Denver's Kosta Koufos had a game-high 13 rebounds and the Nuggets outrebounded Utah 48-41 overall.

But they let the gays in the military.
Since they are so rich, why do they need 5 billion dollars in direct military aid per year from us?
Another thing Israel does: when they have a military action, they promptly increase taxes in order to pay for it. It will actually show up on your paystub as a "war surcharge deduction" or some such thing. I think we would be a lot better off with such a program, with the result being fewer wars, less debt, or both.
What do you think Republicans? I won't hold my breathe for an answer.
I sometimes think conservatives love Israel more than they love the United States.
Pam Geller, come on down!
Maybe all fundamentalist conservative voters should emigrate to Israel, where their kids can automatically serve in the Israeli military - no exceptions and gays are welcomed and not told that they're defective.
Let conservatives have their kids be in harms' way, and let's see how happy they are while the await the appocalypse for a very very long time.
I really don't have time (or interest) to go through this--I recognize that some of the claims are valid (ICQ), some aren't. But one staggering piece of BS is about the GDP.
Israel's GDP is, according to the CIA World Factbook, $219 billion. Egypt's is $497 billion, more than twice as high. Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan combined are about equal to Israel.
So, remember: Right-wings love the truth so much they have to preserve it with a staggering amount of antiknowledge.
One other thing about Israel... They are GOD's chosen people. Anytime you have GOD on your side, you are in a good place.
They are GOD's chosen people.
According to them. Something tells me their neighbors might not agree.
Agree with a prior Anon post towards the top. If Isreal is fantastic, then why are conservative and liberal USA taxpayers, alike, on the hook to the tune of *at least* $5billion per year to prop Israel up?
We sure could use that money here in the USA for infrastructure projects, amongst many other needs.
And similary to a more recent Anon post: If Israeli's are "God's chosen people," then why isn't "God" taking better care of them? Why do *I* have to fork over so much of my tax dollars to "God's" chosen people?? Not being rude or facetious. Would love to know why "God" has put ME on the hook to pay for "His" allegedly "chosen people"??

Diana Ross is reportedly set to sing at her son Evan's wedding to Ashlee Simpson.
Evan, 25, star of TV series 90210, began dating the 29-year-old singer - who is mother to five-year-old son Bronx from her previous marriage to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz - last year and they became engaged in January.
Now insiders have told E! News that soul sister Diana, 70, is planning to perform at the ceremony, along with her daughter Rhonda Ross Kendrick and fellow music legends S tevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson.
But despite the musical extravaganza that his mother is planning for his nuptials, Evan only cares about his bride-to-be.
He said: "Honestly, we could go and get married right now, wherever.
"We just want to be married. We're in love. This is the most incredible time I could ever think of in my life and I'm young, but the same time, I've lived a different life than most and I can't think of a happier moment."
Evan, who plays Messalla in the The Hunger Games: Mockingjay movies, said he knew he wanted to marry Ashlee "really quickly".
He gushed: "I was giving it time only because I wanted to give it time, but I would have asked her a month after I was with her."

GM plans $600M upgrade at Kansas City plant
Investment helps secure plant's role in GM's future
General Motors is investing in a $600 million upgrade at its assembly plant in Kansas City, Kan.
The automaker said Monday it will start construction this year on a 450,000-square-foot paint shop, a new stamping press and other improvements at the Fairfax Assembly Plant.
"That's huge! I wasn't expecting that," said worker Clarence Brown.
GM CEO Dan Akerson says the investment is a "vote of confidence" in the Fairfax plant, where the company has produced more than 12 million vehicles since 1945. GM announced earlier this month it planned to invest $1.5 billion in its North American facilities in 2013.
"When we're done, this will be one of the jewels in the crown of the GM universe," said Akerson.
"Right now, it costs between $50 and $60 to paint a car. This plant will cut that cost by about 50 percent," Akerson said.
Employees said the investment suggests General Motors has a long-term plan for the Fairfax plant.
"It's kind of a relief. Now we know. People have been walking on eggshells," said employee Darren Walker.
Some 3,900 employees work at the Fairfax plant, where the company produces the Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Malibu. The project is not expected to lead to any additional jobs at the plant, although suppliers may see more work.
GM says the construction will take about two years to complete.

With all the attention being showered on Pinterest lately, it was inevitable that criminals would figure out a way to cash in on the popular social-media pinup site. New point-and-click software available in underground markets does just that by helping even the most technically unsophisticated people prey on the gullibility of other users.
A couple of toolkits analyzed by McAfee researcher Hardik Shah allow users to generate fraudulent referral fees from Amazon, online survey services, and premium telephone numbers. They work by redirecting unwitting Pinterest users to links they didn't intend on visiting and can be set up by changing just a few lines of code.
"Such toolkits make it very easy for scammers to start their own scam sites and become functional cybercriminals with a minimum of skills and time," Shah wrote in a blog post that detailed his findings. "They need only change a couple of simple things, such as URLs, and they are ready to go. Almost all these steps—from creating mass Pinterest accounts to mass liking, commenting, and posting—have been automated."
The tools come with "well-written documentation," he adds.

The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
Netflix stock was hit so hard earlier this year, it made you wonder if billionaire Raymond Tusk from "House of Cards" was shorting it. Or if religious zealot Pennsatucky from "Orange is the New Black" was waging a holy war against the immorality of Netflix's content.
Shares started 2014 just north of $368 and quickly moved to an all-time high of $458 by early March. And then the bottom fell out of momentum stocks.
By late April, Netflix (NFLX) had given back all its gains for the year ... and then some. The stock dipped below $300 in late April. But it's enjoyed an amazing comeback since then. It's now trading at around $424, just 7% below its record high.
So what's next for the stock?
With season 2 of Netflix's dark prison comedy "Orange is the New Black" available for binge watching on Friday, I figured now's a good time to analyze Netflix's valuation and growth prospects. And sprinkle in as many OITNB references as possible. Will Red finally catch the elusive jail yard chicken? She just wants to make a nice Kiev!
Here's the bull case for Netflix -- and bear argument against it.
Why you should buy Netflix
Netflix is aggressively expanding in Europe. That should boost its streaming subscriber base and revenue. According to estimates from FactSet Research, analysts expect international revenue to nearly double this year to $1.3 billion and hit just under $2 billion next year.
The company has also made the leap from being a mere content distribution platform to a true media company thanks to hits like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black."
I am hoping for a very special crossover episode in 2015. Maybe (spoiler alert!) First Lady Claire Underwood visits Piper and her fellow inmates at Litchfield for an inspirational talk?
Related: Netflix and Verizon feud flares up again
With Netflix now trading at a market value of about $25 billion, it's not out of the realm of possibility for it to one day be bigger than some of its old media "frenemies." Discovery Communications (DISCA), which owns the Discovery Channel, TLC, and Animal Planet, is worth about $28 billion. And CBS (CBS) has a market cap of $34 billion.
"This is a company right in the thick of things regarding the wave of the future in media," said Bob Bacarella, manager of the Monetta Fund and an owner of Netflix stock.
Bacarella said that as long as Netflix has earnings momentum on its side, he's happy to stick with the stock -- despite a valuation that even OITNB's Suzanne would probably deem a little crazy-eyed.
The stock trades at about 100 times 2014 earnings estimates ... but earnings per share are expected to increase by 122% this year. And Netflix has consistently beat Wall Street's estimates over the past year.
"I try and not worry about earnings multiples with companies like Netflix. I focus on its ability to exceed expectations and Netflix has generally been able to do that," Bacarella said. "But every quarter we hold our breath. This is a cult stock."
Why you should sell Netflix
For what it's worth, some of the so-called smart money is abandoning Netflix. Hedge fund Tiger Global, run by wunderkind Chase Coleman, dumped its entire Netflix stake in the first quarter. So did George Soros. And Carl Icahn continued to trim his position -- as did mutual fund giants Vanguard and T. Rowe Price.
The nosebleed valuation may be a concern to institutions. Then again, Amazon (AMZN) has been pretty much overvalued for its entire existence and that hasn't stopped the stock from continuing to climb. The bigger worry may be that even though growth should be strong this year, there are questions about how sustainable it is.
"Netflix is overpaying for content to drive growth ... but it may not be profitable growth," said Brad Lamensdorf, co-manager of Ranger Bear Equity (HDGE), an actively managed exchange-traded fund that shorts individual stocks and is currently betting against Netflix.
Related: Netflix picks up 'DreamWorks Dragons'
Lamensdorf argues that investors should be more concerned by the steady decline in Netflix's DVD business. Yes, it may no longer be cool to get those red envelopes in the mail. But the DVD unit throws off a lot of cash. Costs are low.
Profit margins for the DVD business were nearly 50% in the first quarter of 2014. The margin for Netflix's U.S. streaming business is half of that.
Lamensdorf also worries that Netflix won't have long-term pricing power as the streaming business becomes more competitive.
He notes that Netflix's recent $1 a month increase for new customers is relatively small ... and he predicts that prices may come down as Amazon and Hulu ramp up their original content and licensing deals with other media companies even more than they are currently.
"When other services get critical mass, they'll be forced to cut subscription rates," he said. "They might as well increase prices now and get the money they can."
Related: New Netflix subscribers to pay $1 more
Lamensdorf concedes that it is risky to bet against a stock that has so much momentum behind it. But he firmly believes that the stock eventually will disappoint momentum investors one too many times ... and that the company could face a painful transition into a hybrid value/growth stock.
That's a no man's land that the likes of Microsoft (MSFT) and Cisco (CSCO) found themselves in after the dot-com bubble burst.
The happy medium
What do I think? Is Netflix a screaming buy at these levels? No. But it's a risky stock to short as well. Betting against Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has not been a good long-term strategy.
I've made the mistake of declaring that the stock was way too overvalued numerous times in the past decade. Heck, investing blog Dividend.com even called a 2003 column I did on the stock a "hilariously wrong" call. Kudos to the author of that article, Jared Cummans, on that. He was right about how wrong I was.
Related: The future of media with Brian Stelter
My biggest mistake was harping too much on the sticker shock of Netflix's P/E ratio.
While valuations still matter, so do trends. Unless Netflix finally has a major hiccup that would make investors question whether its best days are behind it, the stock will probably keep climbing. Just don't expect more years like last year -- when Netflix surged nearly 300%.
But speaking of 2003, I'm not the only one who thought the stock may have been frothy back then. Hastings and Netflix CFO David Wells conceded in a letter to shareholders in the third quarter of last year that "some of the euphoria" in the stock last year felt like 2003 all over again.
I guess they were hilariously wrong too.
Reader Comment of the Week! Apple (AAPL) may not have surprised too many investors with its WWDC keynote on Monday. But that didn't stop the peanut gallery on Twitter (of which I consider myself a proud member) from cracking jokes about some of the new features in iOS 8.
I made light of all the apps that had the name Kit at the end and wondered if Apple would launch an homage to the woman who was the best Catwoman ever. One reader went a step further ... and had a brilliant 80s TV reference. He gets bonus points for a dorky Fed-inspired Twitter handle. But what will you do when the Fed is done tapering?
Ha! Don't hassle the Hoff! I guess Apple won't need to buy Tesla (TSLA) if they can pull off KittKit. Love it. And on that note, the Knight Rider theme song.

Palmball-throwing Holdzkom fans three in MLB debut
ST. LOUIS -- Among the things John Holdzkom brought to the Pirates with his Tuesday promotion from Indianapolis was a great story, just waiting to be written.
And the 26-year-old right-hander began to write it immediately, striking out the side when he made his big league debut in the eighth inning of the Bucs' 6-4 loss to the Cardinals.
He punched out Peter Bourjos, Kolten Wong and Matt Carpenter in front on 43,693 - -about 43,600 more than watched him 10 weeks ago pitching for San Angelo of United League Baseball -- the Independent loop out of which the Pirates signed him on June 23.
"Pitching in a big league stadium is every pitcher's dream. I tried to tell myself that it's no different than any other game. You have to have the same mental approach," said Holdzkom, whose debut inning -- perhaps naturally, given his unique background -- was quirky.
Bourjos reached first base after the leadoff strikeout -- because the palmball, a pitch Russell Martin had never before tried to catch, avoided the receiver for a wild pitch.
Right away, the most unique debut possible occurred to Holdzkom, who thought, "Oh, I have a chance now for four [strikeouts]."
Alas, that chance vanished when Martin caught Bourjos trying to steal.
The 6-foot-7 Holdzkom officially brought the palmball back to the Majors.
"Our guy is the only one who throws one now," manager Clint Hurdle declared of a pitch that was very popular among big leaguers at one time -- before the wildfire spread of the split-fingered fastball. Both pitches have a similar downward pattern, but the palmball puts greater stress on the elbow.
"I threw three of them," said Holdzkom, who also throws a hard cutter and a split-fingered fastball. "That's how I got the first and third [strikeouts], on the palmball. The palmer."
"I don't know what it was ... palmball, splitter, whatever. All I know, it was nasty," Martin said.
