Titan - Limit Break
Card seems to be broken-- ability is activating on all turns, not just reprisal. As if he wasn't OP enough.

Well... what i read from the ,most comments here, is: Oh no, a new clan got a great card like other clans did before! How dare they give a new clan an awesome card like Ghumbo or Vicky?! That is completely against balancing!
What i say to that is: So when a new clan gets a great card to compete with other clans that already have amazing cards, it is bad? Balancing out the strengh of the T2 cards in a clan so it can take on the extreme T2 clans like Sentinel, Montana, Nightmare and Uppers is bad? Yeah you are the ones who want to see only three to four clans dominate T2, right? This guy will be banned from elo (where the clan is made for) and take place in T2 (where the clan is in an extreme disadvantage) so stop complaining!

-daddysteel- essentially what you are saying is that elo players must endure for 2 or 3 months before this card gets permabanned and that we should stop complaining because with that card they are "balancing" a format that is less played?
ELO is supposed to be a format where skill matters, so yeah we will bitch about a card that will fuck up the format big time. So please get off your high horse mister, elo players have every damn right to complain about this card.
-DaddySteel- - Sunday 08/09/2013, 14:07
XC Pingvin so what can UR do? ELO ban a card before its even released? Ban it because of the possibility that it messes up ELO? They are not gonna leave such choices to themselves but the players and they will choose.
How else do you think they are to release powerful cards like that in the future? Ask the players before release if they want it to be banned?
lorankintas - Sunday 08/09/2013, 14:48
Weird that a lot of people said that ELO will be messed up because of Noctezuma
Until now,I only saw 1 player in ELO using Noctezuma,and I won the round against this supposed broken card

For starters the whole elo sistem needs an overhaul, but thats a discussion for another thread
I expect UR staff to know what they are doing when they release powerfull cards like this, I expect balanced intresting cards, not powerfull ones. I expect them to playtest and theorycraft their cards. Otherwise they will just powercreep this game into its grave.
They could try making new releases unplayable for ELO in the 1st week, and let the players vote if they want the cards to see the lights of ELO or not.
lorankintas - Sunday 08/09/2013, 17:27
@XC Pingvin
Last part doesn't make sense. All the new cards in the 1st days,specially the OP ones,are expensive as hell,and not everyone has the money to get them. Imagine if a random player gets lucky by getting Jarez by a pack. Then, he decides to use him I guess because he LOVES Junkz,and since he's a Stop card,he's useful in ELO,but then h realizes that he can't use it because 1st week of release is ELO banned. As you can see,that's stupid,banning a not OP card just because he's brand new. Also,most powerful cards aren't even that good for ELO. If Copper could be not ELO banned,he'd be terrible,since ELO has a lot of SoA. And it's not just him,there's a lot more.
XC Pingvin - Sunday 08/09/2013, 18:06
Guru - E X C A L I B U R
An average/balanced card being banned for 1 week is still better then an OP card being available for one week. If the card is balanced like jarez you will get to play it next week anyways, its not like that card will escape your collection if you got him, but if the card is OP players will get to vote wheather or not they want to see it in elo or not.

I've been in a funk. I'm not sure why. I feel like everyday is on repeat…
Take care of my girls…
Clean house…
Pick up son…
Cook dinner…
Put girls to sleep…
Go to sleep.
Throughout the second half of last year, I lost 30 pounds. I was on such a roll and a high that I vowed that this year I would hit my goal weight once and for all.
I started walking every day (one goal) and eating pretty decently… until the evening. I got two GIANT bags of Boom Chicka Pop popcorn from Costco and I love popcorn… I like to eat a lot of it and it's really one of the worse things you can eat when you're trying to lose weight. You can eat a TON and feel like you haven't eaten a thing.
Did I mention it was on sale at Costco? It's like buying the giant tub of popcorn (with refills) from the movies, for $4! It's been on sale the last two times I went.
Then the yummy animal crackers… oh, just a hint of sweetness, it satisfies my carb craving.
Of course, all of this sounds a lot better with a glass of wine.
It doesn't help that I eat dinner around 6 or 7, but don't go to sleep until 11… and if you've been eating every couple of hours all day, that 4 hour stretch before bed gets hard.
So, of course, the logical thought is don't have a drink, then don't eat the junk and take my behind to sleep at a decent hour, right?
Yeah right.
So, I can do this. God does not want me to be unhealthy, and I shouldn't mess up my progress.
God wants to work within you before he'll work around you! #CFQuotes @CFimpact via @theaprilnoelle Share on Twitter
What has you feeling defeated? What is challenging you today?
Almost every week, I go to church, and I get a LOT of the sermon. For a long while, I've been meaning to put it all into words on paper… not notes, but how I plan on applying it in my life. There will be some tidbits of the sermon, and sermon notes, in case you want to study further.
1 Sam. 16: God took an imperfect person, David, and anointed him. David, at the time, was a lyre player for the court, not in any high ranking position. Yet, in those times, before he became King of Israel, David took the opportunity to learn how the court worked for when he would take the lead, he knew what he was doing.

Promoting the Future and Preserving the Past
Founded in 1931, the Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS) Grammarians' Association was formed originally as the Old Girls' Union. Under the presidency of Diana Prance (Eddison, 1931) and with the support of six past students, the foundations of the Grammarians Association were established. Since that time, the Grammarians Association has continued to foster the School community, connecting current and former students.
The Association has grown beyond Canberra to develop a global presence with over 12,500 members in more than 46 countries. The Grammarians Association is a diverse and dynamic community connecting past students, providing a network for communication and supporting continuous involvement with the School. The Grammarians' Association contributes to the ongoing life of CGGS through special events, contribution of annual prizes for academic achievement and school spirit, donations, and assistance with special projects which benefit the whole School community.

Guide on Golf Courses
"Whenever any barrier stands between you and the full rights and dignity of citizenship, we must work to remove it, in the name of simple decency and justice.

President George W. Bush, New Freedom Initiative, February 1, 2001
The recreation facility guidelines described in this guide focus on newly designed or newly constructed and altered golf courses and driving ranges. Other provisions contained in ADAAG address elements commonly found at a golf course, such as accessible vehicle parking spaces, exterior accessible routes, and toilet and bathing facilities. ADAAG addresses only the built environment (structures and grounds). The guidelines do not address operational issues.

Sad to hear. Its extremely annoying. Is there really no way? Like making a auto detect feature which detects when the Android system going to make the warning and reducing the volume, but bypassing it at the same time by keeping the volume at 100%, Wouldnt even mind a little audio "hitch". Still better than permantely low and having to turn on the screen, pressing ok and pulling up the volume again. Or maybe adding a own audio volume "channel" for Power Amp. One which has nothing to do with the Media Android Audio Stream and therefore the audio warning maybe ignores it. But wouldnt wonder me if this is a root only thing again because of adding a own new audio channel for a app. To be honest Im not that familar with the technology. Maybe im just talking rubbish. Just what I thought about. Still hoping for a solution. Maybe I will just try to restart my device rarely, like only when there is an Android update. Or I go with rooting after all... But I really want to avoid that.
Hello. I really love Poweramp and dont have any problems with it. Best player for Android and amazing options. It also fixed my Sony Wakelock problem. Great! However, my Android system likes to warn me every restart about a volume warning. It automatically pops up and sets the volume to 50% which is the main annoying part about it. Not all systems seem to have the problem but I bought my phone in the EU and it really sucks. Could you add a option in the player to bypass this? If its not possible to remove it entirely (because its deep inbuilt the system?) maybe at least a option to ignore the 50% volume change? For me its really annoying, especially after reading and get annoyed of it too often... I know some people say rooting the phone fixes it, I dont want to do that. Especially because waranty goes away. My phone was way to expensive for this. Wish Google would add a option to disable it, or only showing it one time.
Really? Wow, great so not even I can decide anymore whats good for me and whats not. Im in the EU, more specific Germany. At least I bought my device here.
I couldnt find a option for it. Even with Googling not. Most people just say that using Root and using something called Gravity Box is the only fix. However, I think it only comes once everytime I restart my system. Its still stupid though, why cant I just shut it off? I really dont get this crap... Seems like this problem is already existent since Android 4.X.X. Many people complain about it. Im not sure though if every device is affected or only some who have bad luck. Sony seems to have it in the Sony Android Rom. Well, maybe somebody still knows a fix, or maybe there is a hidden option somewhere in my system, maybe something that I wouldnt expect to be the off option... Anyone else with a Sony phone here? More specific Xperia Z3 Compact? Or Sony device with Android 5.1.1 in general. Well, if I dont really find a fix I may request a option for it. Wondered that nobody did already. There seems to be quite a sum of people with this problem when googling it.
Hello guys. Im new here! First, I LOVE Poweramp! Best of all music player apps, seriously! So many great options and customizables. Its really cool! Instant buy for me! Would pay again! It even fixed my stupid turn off screen and sound problem. Sometimes when my screen went off, the music stopped too until I put it on again. Looks like it was some Sony Android Rom problem but there was a option in Tweaks to fix this lock. GREAT! Now only one problem remains for me. Sometimes, like around all 5 hours of playtime or something, the volume decreases to 50% and I get a popup with a warning about a Volume Warning and that listening to loud music can damage my ear... BLABLABLA, stop annoying me, and anyway, its not to loud on some of my headphones. This is really ANNOYING. Getting mad of it. There doesnt seem to be a inbuilt Sound option in Android to not show the warning or show it only once. Why? Seriously. Is Google really that dumb? They even seemed to inbuilt it deep into the Android system and without Rooting the device and use tools it doesnt seem to be possible to disable it. Why, for heavens sake? I dont want to root my device to disable or ignore this warning. Yes, I googled already for the problem but only found Rooting advises. I wanted to ask you if there is a way to disable/ignore it without rooting the phone. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, if the info is relevant. Actually I wonder that there is no such option in Poweramp or is there and I just didnt find it? Would be nice if you guys could enlighten me. If not, I would like to request a option to disable the Volume warning or at least ignore it in Poweramp. Thanks for all replies!

|Review: Heathen - The Evolution of Chaos
|The Evolution of Chaos
Label: Mascot Records
Year released: 2010
Duration: 67:13
Tracks: 11
Genre: Thrash Metal
Rating: 3.5/5
Review online: April 5, 2010
Reviewed by: Adam Kohrman
for:The Evolution of Chaos
Rated 4.77/5 (95.35%) (86 Votes)
Few albums have been embraced by the metal community this year as well as Heathen's new album The Evolution of Chaos has been. People have been declaring it a modern thrash classic, one where the veteran thrashers show the young ones how it's done. The fact of the matter is that I want that to be the case, but it isn't. Nevertheless, it is a good album. It's got all the elements of a thrash classic, but it isn't executed with the passion it needs. It seems like Heathen made an album with the intention of proving that they were better than the young thrash bands. That mentality bleeds through this music. In turn, the quality of the music suffers. I hate to play the role of the finger wagging naysayer among such widespread reverence, but The Evolution of Chaos is simply not as good as people are saying it is.
I don't want to make it sound like this album is bad. It just doesn't live up to the hype and adulation thrust upon it. Lee Altus and newcomer Kragen Lum make a great dual guitar team. The riffs scale upwards and downwards, creating some pounding headbanging anthems. When they are given the spotlight, they shine. They seem to feed off each other, creating some tightly woven, slithering instrumental passages. But David Godfrey's voice isn't what it used to be, and it cannot carry this album. In fact, it's outright irritating at moments. He doesn't bear the necessary passion for songs like "Fade Away" or "Undone." Yet, at the same time, his blunt and primal anger heighten the sincerity in songs like the Metallica-ish "No Stone Unturned." Later on in the album, they get political, which isn't a problem, but they do so idiotically. The blind patriotism on "A Hero's Welcome" is just imbecilic. Regardless of political affiliation, this song is entirely stupid.
I do enjoy this album, just not all that much. It's by no means an album of the year candidate, but it's a memorable comeback album. The Evolution of Chaos suffers from weak execution whilst maintaining a fast paced, angry thrash theme throughout.

I love art exhibitions, and through the years, I've had the pleasure of seeing some really great ones. Of them all, here are three of my favorites – in no particular order.
ABOVE: Scott Hocking, The Reptile Room: Mercury Retrograde, installation
SiTE:LAB @ 54 Jefferson (formerly the Grand Rapids Public Museum)
Grand Rapids, Michigan
In 2012, SiTE:LAB took over the former home of the Grand Rapids Public Museum and filled the space with the work of 18 artists. The building, which was vacated in 1994, still contained a number of its dioramas and exhibits, and they, along with the artist's installations, provided the viewer with a truly unique experience. It was surreal and creepy, and, it was the top venue at Artprize 2012.
ABOVE: Ai Weiwei, Straight, installation
Ai Weiwei: According to What? (Art Gallery of Ontario)
Toronto, Ontario
Having followed Weiwei's exploits in the news, I was super excited to see this politically charged exhibition. Everything on display was deep, but I especially liked Straight (pictured above), which consisted of 150 tons of rebar recovered from schools that had collapsed in the Sichuan earthquake. They were all straightened, and on the wall behind them, were the names of the students who lost their lives in the quake. Heavy.
ABOVE: Gabriel Dawe, Plexus A1, installation
Wonder (Renwick Gallery)
Washington D.C.
In 2015, after a two-year renovation, the Renwick Gallery opened its doors to Wonder, an immersive exhibition featuring the work of 9 artists. Each was given a room to create a site specific installation, and the entire building became one immersive artwork. As the title suggests, it was a wonderful space to spend an hour two, and, judging by the long lineups to get in, it was a big hit with the locals too.

Its name is derived from the Greek word τερεμνον (i.e., «dwelling»). Currently, the structure is not accessible to the public, as it belongs to the official residence of the President of Russia.
On the 16th century Aloisio the New constructed the first royal palace on the spot. Only the ground floor survives from that structure, as the first Romanov tsar, Mikhail Feodorovich, had the palace completely rebuilt in 1635-36.
The new structure was surrounded by numerous annexes and outbuildings, including the Boyar Platform, Golden Staircase, Golden Porch, and several turrets.
On Mikhail's behest, the adjoining Golden Tsaritsa's Chamber constructed back in the 1560s for Ivan IV's wife, was surmounted with 11 golden domes of the Upper Saviour Cathedral. The complex of the palace also incorporates several churches of earlier construction, including the Church of the Virgin's Nativity from the 1360s.
The palace consists of five stories. The third story was occupied by the tsaritsa and her children; the fourth one contained the private apartments of the tsar. The upper story is a tent-like structure where the Boyar Duma convened.
The exterior, exuberantly decorated with brick tracery and colored tiles, is brilliantly painted in red, yellow, and orange.
The interior used to be painted as well, but the original murals were destroyed by successive fires, particularly the great fire of 1812.
In 1837, the interiors were renovated in accordance with old drawings in the Russian Revival style.

The Conner Law Group Engaged by City of Alma to Fight Back against Opioid Addiction
Staff Report From Savannah CEO
Tuesday, July 10th, 2018
The Conner Law Group has joined forces with The Tate Law Group to represent The City of Alma in its valiant battle against the ongoing opioid epidemic that has haunted the community.
Since 1999, there has been a 300% increase in opioid prescriptions in the United States. As the number of prescriptions has increased, there been a remarkable increase opioid addiction, making it a leading cause of death for people under the age of 50.
Many opioid addicts report that their first opioid experience was a prescription drug. Thousands of lawsuits are being filed against doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies in an attempt to hold them accountable for the staggering increase in opioid addiction, overdoses, and drug-related deaths in America.
Many of these lawsuits have been filed by states, counties, municipalities and cities such as Alma that are ready to push back against irresponsible actions of the medical community. In many areas, the increase in opioid usage and addiction has led to substantial increases in the cost of public health services, higher drug-related crime rates, and other blights communities.
"We want to thank the City of Alma and its leadership for making this courageous decision to fight back," said The Conner Law Group's managing partner, Mike Conner. "Along with the Tate Law Group and Alma's City Council, we will join together to protect this community, its families and its young people. We will win this good fight and set a precedent for other communities in South Georgia fighting this epidemic problem."

Now that much of the content consuming world is making the shift towards digital media consumers everywhere are looking for ways to actually get that media onto their televisions. Luckily, there is no drought in hardware such as this as devices like Apple TV and the Logitech Revue offer a wide range of functionality such as Netflix, iTunes and more.
Another set-top box that features many similarities to the above mentioned devices is the Roku – which comes in several different versions such as the Roku XD|S and Roku HD-XR. Well, if you're an owner of a Roku box you will be happy to hear that the company has just announced support for USB drives. This, quite obviously, means you will be able to hook a thumb drive or external hard drive to your Roku box and play media from it.
The feature is appropriately dubbed the Roku USB Media Player and should be available now.

WorkAccidentLawyers.Com Helps Law Firms Reach New Clients During COVID-19
May 19, 2020 – Anaheim, CA – Today, Work Accident Lawyers is proud to announce new opportunities for professional lawyers nationwide to advertise their services on its long-established website, WorkAccidentLawyers.com. Serving as a new affordable tool to increase awareness for one's law firm and generate client leads, advertising with Work Accident Lawyers will help law businesses succeed and remain competitive, especially now during these trying economic times caused by the COVID-19 health pandemic.
"During COVID-19, we are seeing that law firms are taking one of two options when it comes to generating new clients: pausing all advertising and taking a passive role or investing in their advertising and maximizing their presence while the market is less saturated with competitors," said Edgar Gonzalez, Founder and CEO of Work Accident Lawyers and Fuel Lead. "Our expert opinion for our clients is that by investing in marketing now, they will position their business for success in the future once this pandemic is over. This is a great time for law firms to get ahead and maximize their potential by advertising on Work Accident Lawyers today."
The Work Accident Lawyers website is visited by individuals who are in need of an immediate lawyer. Many have been in a recent work accident and are in need of someone to challenge their employers for compensation. Therefore, by advertising on the Work Accident Lawyers website law firms are directly promoted to clients who are eager to get to work.
"I recently acquired the far-reaching Work Accident Lawyers website and I am pleased to offer its advertising capabilities to support law firm businesses across the country," continued Gonzalez. "After working as an entrepreneur in the digital marketing space with companies both big and small and designing websites for more than 10 years, I am proud to now focus my abilities on helping law firms find new clients online."
Along with Work Accident Lawyers, Edgar Gonzalez is the founder of Fuel Lead, a lead generation service for lawyers seeking new clients. Through the use of an array of digital marketing practices including pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization (SEO), social media, affiliate publishing, and more, Fuel Lead is well-positioned to generate prospective clients for lawyers. Popular leads collected by Fuel Lead include personal injury and auto accidents.
During the COVID-19 crisis, many law firms are slowing down or pausing their digital marketing and advertising altogether out of panic and in an effort to save money. This opens up an opportunity for clients of both Work Accident Lawyers and Fuel Lead to get ahead of their competitors during this time. With Fuel Lead, the difference in a less saturated digital market is especially visible in terms of SEO. While competitors scale back on their SEO efforts, Fuel Lead's clients have jumped ahead in SEO rankings at a faster pace and thereby generating more client leads.
For law firms, advertising on Work Accident Lawyers is now available at an affordable rate in an effort to help them succeed during the country's financial crisis caused by COVID-19. Prices begin at $500. For Fuel Lead, leads begin at $150 USD.

text: This has to be the worst movie I ever saw. The dialog is so bad it's hilarious, and the rest of the script isn't any better. The acting is an abomination, and the set is made of plastic. I really hope this was a low-low-low-budget movie, because that would at least justify my half star rating for the effort the filmmakers made in showing up for work at all.

To be an entrepreneur implies creating or developing a new business – in this case exports. Exportation vs. non-exportation centered the initial debate on entrepreneurship and export activity, trying to get to know the business or personal factors which lead a firm to initiate –entrepreneurially –external trade operations compared to those that do not (e.g., Ursic & Czincota, 1984; Leonidou, 1995; Katsikeas, 1996). In this way, some authors conceived that firms which decide to export develop a business innovation process - entrepreneurship – which influences its business performance (Simmonds & Smith, 1968; Samiee, Walters, & DuBois, 1993). However, the literature on EE has progressively centered itself on export firms. The work of Yeoh and Jeong (1995) helped to concentrate the debate. They pointed out that export firms can be differentiated according to their entrepreneurial orientation. This can be moderated by the structure of the export channel and by the environment in which the firm works. Thus, while some exporters tend to be proactive, innovative and have less risk aversion in the search for business opportunities in foreign markets, others tend to be reactive or conservative.
Managers Value: Stable criteria that managers use to evaluate their own and others' behavior across various situations.
Structure Resources: Resources of the firm associated to structure.
Export Commitment: The attitude - willingness – of the decision makers to allot appropriate financial, human and managerial resources to the export activity.
Export Entrepreneurship: Describes the ability to recognize or create an opportunity and take action in international markets.
Schwartz' Value Approach: This theory addressed extensive queries about values, such as: how are individuals' primacies influenced by social practices? How do individuals' priorities guide their behavior and selections? And, how do value priorities influence thoughts, attitudes, and actions in political, religious, environmental, and other domains? Through his studies, Schwartz determined that ten types of universal values are present: achievement, benevolence, conformity, hedonism, power, security, self-direction, stimulation, tradition, and universalism.
Experiential Resources: Resources of the firm associated to experience.
Resource-based view: It is a foundation for achieving competitive advantage of a firm, lies mainly in the application of a collection of appreciated palpable or immaterial resources at the firm's disposal.

Graduate Student and Postdoc Offerings
The Teaching Center provides graduate students and postdocs with a variety of opportunities to learn about evidence-based teaching through workshops, a professional development in teaching program, consultations, and a number of other events and engagements.
Workshops draw on the most recent educational research and are facilitated by professional staff from the Teaching Center. Workshops are 90-minutes in length and they focus on a range of foundational topics and advanced-level topics which will help graduate students and postdocs in building their teaching knowledge. These workshops are offered throughout the academic year on both the Danforth and Medical campuses.
Participating in Teaching Center workshops is one of the major components for completing the Teaching Center's Professional Development in Teaching Program. This program allows graduate students and postdocs to document their dedication to evidence-based and reflective teaching practices over the course of their time at Washington University. The program is designed so that all participants may find a level of engagement that is right for them. To learn more about the Professional Development in Teaching Program, schedule a consultation today.
The Teaching Center staff also offer confidential consultations on teaching-related topics to all graduate students and postdocs affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis. Conversations during these in-person or virtual consultations routinely cover topics such as engaging in the Professional Development in Teaching Program, troubleshooting teaching challenges, offering suggestions on best-practices for designing classroom materials (e.g. syllabi, assignments, rubrics, Canvas course pages, technology in the classroom), discussing teaching observations, and providing feedback on teaching-related academic job market materials.
The Teaching Center also offers graduate students and postdocs a number of other ways to engage with evidence-based teaching practices. These other engagements allow for more extended conversation about teaching and learning. Graduate students will all take part in the annual Graduate Student Mentored Teaching Orientation before their first teaching experience at Washington University in St. Louis. Graduate students in their 1st through 3rd years can also participate in the year-long EPIC Learning Community to engage in further interdisciplinary pedagogical conversation, while advanced-level graduate students can apply to become part of the Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC). Advanced-level graduate students and postdocs can learn more about the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) through taking the SoTL seminar and implementing a SoTL research project. They can also join the GSPD Reading Community, participate in a Course Design Institute, or sign up for the Jump-Start to Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement Program.

Promotional Bags – If You Are Not Familiar With All the Types of Promotional Bags, Read This!
Promotional bags are popular around the world. From the must have promotional canvas shoppers to sports and travel bags, they all make excellent promotional gifts. Of course, it is important to consider your target customers before running out and purchase these popular promotional gifts. This article will introduce the seven most popular promotional bags on the market for promoting your company.
Eco Friendly Shoppers
These are probably the best selling promotional bags of the past couple of years. With many supermarkets either no longer handing out plastic carriers to their customers or charging for them, it is nice to have a strong jute, canvas or cotton option to carry your groceries home in. In fact, once you begin using strong reusable shopper bags like these, you will never go bag to plastic. Your customers will appreciate and love your eco-friendly promotional gift and will most likely use it regularly seeing your logo and details each time they do.
Laptop Bags
Ideal for business people who are out and about regularly with their computer. Print some nice laptop bags for your customers and they will be used. You might even like to go a step further and include a personalised note pad and some promotional pens in the bags pen loops.
Conference Bags
Perfect for conferences or other important functions. Like Laptop bags, these business bags can easily be made even nicer by including a few extras such as promotional pens in the pen loops and note pads. Depending on your budget, you might like to ensure the bags are always topped up with promotional writing accessories and pens.
Travel Bags
You may be surprised to learn that travel bags are available in many different shapes and sizes for promotional use. There are hanging suit bags and standard suit cases. Overnight bags, duffel bags and backpacks are also very popular. Many are available in corporate colours. Try to find good quality bags as these will be used regularly promoting your logo each time they are used.
Sports Bags
Bags for sports are excellent for promoting amateur and professional sports teams. They are also very popular printed with logos of gyms and company sports teams. Some are large that are ideal for carrying a complete sports kit. Others are smaller for holding a pair of golf shoes or towels and swim gear.
Paper Bags
Some of the paper bags on the market are eco-friendly. They are manufactured using wood from properly maintained forests. Other types of paper bags are popular because they can be printed in brilliant full colour creating the perfect promotional advertisement.
Plastic Bags: Plastic bags are still very popular at exhibitions and trade shows. Some are even manufactured in recycled plastic. Plastic bags are the least expensive bags on the marker and are therefore an excellent choice if you are planning an exhibition and want to give away an inexpensive gift.

I would like to extend a big fat thank you to Dan and everyone else who helped in our court case. Your tireless work was only outdone by your compassion and professionalism. I am eternally grateful.
In a situation where the outcome looked very bleak I turned to Dan based on the recommendation from a co-worker. From the minute I walked in the door I was put at ease and made to feel like I was in good hands. Without getting into details about the case I can say that the results were astounding and what looked like certain defeat turned into a resounding victory and a healthy award. I can't say enough about Dan and his law firm. They are everything they're made out to be and more.
Had a work related case which was not only complex but involved different courts. Dan and his associates were nothing less than top notch through out the case. We won every step of the way. Dan fought hard on my behalf and never backed down and I was extremely pleased. Knowledgeable, dedicated, compassionate, and helpful are some of the words that come to mind.
Dan and his office manager, Terri, make you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. No one knows Chicago like Dan. If you have any civil or criminal legal needs, contact Dan first.
Dan's been an unbelievablely good attorney. He's honest, fair, and a man of his word. He's extremely friendly, likable and like all great attorneys confident. Dan's entire law firm is professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with, I can't recommend Daniel Herbert's law firm enough.

Tours in Reykjavik
It is called the world's northernmost capitalthe country, the name is translated as "the smoking bay", and lives here more than half of the state population. And this city is considered the cleanest in the world and one day put on the first place among the richest in the world. This is the capital of Iceland, called the UNESCO city of literature also. Go on a tour in Reykjavik, then a couple of days to get around European capital along or across, the eyes to see the whales in coastal waters, drinking a pint of beer in the ice, in the truest sense of the word, the bar and try to understand why this kind of music says Bjork. However, the performance of the last item in this list, no guide can not guarantee.
History and geography
Norwegian and Celtic immigrants streamed intoIceland in the ninth century, and it was then that on the peninsula, where now stretches Reykjavik, the first farm was built. Smoky Bay it was named because of the large number of hot springs, steam is released into the sky in front of astonished latter-day Icelanders.
In the XIII century it actively trades, not only withHanseatic League and the Norwegians, but also with Great Britain, but after four centuries of its robbing Barbary Pirates. The impetus for the revival and further development served as the basis of wool shops and the subsequent independence of the island from Denmark.
Edge of the White Nights
Despite its rather northernthe location, the city is ready to offer the participants tours in Reykjavik very comfortable weather. In winter, there is rarely colder than - 10, the reason for that the warm Gulf Stream, which washes the island. The water in the Gulf never freezes for the same reason. In summer, the thermometer will fluctuate around 23, and the least precipitation in the capital of Iceland in June and July.
Located not far from the Arctic Circle,a city famous for its white nights. During the summer months the evening glow almost goes into the morning, which makes night-time is very short. Polar day gives way to night and winter long daylight hours in December, less than three hours.
Useful things
- Among the attractions of the capital cityIceland - its Cathedral of the XVIII century. Sophisticated tourist church may seem rather drab and uninteresting structure, but Icelanders are very proud of it.
- Bring out the tour in Reykjavik can and should be lovely hand-knitted goods made of wool with national ornaments. Not less demand of the guests are from the local jewelry silver.
- Icelandic stew is best to book in schools, where locals gather. It turns out especially nourishing soup, a serving size is different from the tourist restaurants in the better.

Several weeks have passed since a U.S. drone strike in Yemen killed one of the most prominent Jihadi figures out there – US-Yemeni Anwar al-Awlaki. As many of my blogger and journalist colleagues have lengthy written about the impact of Awlaki´s death on Jihadism or the Al-Qaida network itself, I don´t want to go into this topic again.
Instead I want to share an e-mail with the readers that I got back June. Via a vital contact I asked the editors of "Inspire"- magazine published by "Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula" (AQAP) about the risks of "hijrah" (migrating to an Islamic country) to Yemen and joining Al-Qaida.
The "Inspire" staff responded to the e-mail…due to the perfect English I suggest this e-mail might indeed have been written either by Anwar al-Awlaki himself or by Samir Khan, a US-raised Jihadi militant who worked as the chief-editor of "Inspire" until he was killed in the same drone strike that killed Awlaki.
Of course there is also the possibility another, unknown English-speaking Jihadi militant answered my e-mail question. As for know, there is no way to confirm this indeed was written by Awlaki or Khan.

A large, bright blue phytoplankton bloom colors the waters off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Some areas in the southern and eastern parts of the bloom, best observed in the full image, appear slightly greenish. This bloom has been present over the last month (click here for previous articles).
Also visible in the full image are a series of condensation trails in the skies to the east of the bloom. Condensation trails, also known as contrails, are straight lines of clouds that form around the exhaust particles released by airplanes.

A homemade gift is always better than something you can buy at the store! Especially for someone who has everything or is hard to buy for. Even if it's something as simple as personalizing a coffee mug, monogramming a casserole dish, or making a fun candy bouquet! Most of these DIY gift ideas are relatively easy and can be done last minute, while a few may take a little bit of planning, but they are all simple enough for just about anyone to do (no crocheting or sewing here).
Whether you're looking for something special for mom, a boyfriend, your best friend, or your favorite teacher, I think you'll find something you like!
This post contains affiliate links. Please see our Disclaimer Policy.
Watch the video below to check out our ideas.
Then, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "View the entire list…" to access instructions quickly or click next to view each idea.
1. Monogrammed Sharpie Mug
This is something you could make for less than a dollar, assuming you have a few oil-based Sharpies on hand (regular Sharpies DO NOT work). You really could customize it however you'd like, but I'm digging the idea of using stickers and then using your pen around them. Once you pull them off, it looks really impressive! Check out the full instructions and details over at Good and Messy!
2. Fun Photo Bookmarks
These custom photo bookmarks would be perfect for the grandparents! And just think of how much fun the photo shoot would be? This tutorial also comes with instructions on how to make the colorful tassels.
3. DIY Bath Bombs
Had I known you can make these in a mini-muffin pan, I would have made them a long, long time ago! I take more baths than showers these days. If you like working in the kitchen, this might be the perfect gift idea for you. Once they're finished, package them up in mason jars with a pretty ribbon. Go check out the full instructions.

Frolicking in a city glimmering with so much light and hope, wearing a polished piece this sheen seems fit. With a dress this glittery, it's pretty much all you need. I keep the accessorizing minimal; with a few touches of pearls and a thin gold necklace but really, they're totally optional. With air-dry hair in the Hungarian breeze, I am ready for another new city!

document.getElementById('showScroll').innerHTML = pageYOffset + 'px';
In action:
Current scroll = scroll the window
scroll event works both on the
window and on scrollable elements.
Prevent scrolling
How do we make something unscrollable? We can't prevent scrolling by using
event.preventDefault() in
onscroll listener, because it triggers after the scroll has already happened.
But we can prevent scrolling by
event.preventDefault() on an event that causes the scroll.
For instance:
wheelevent – a mouse wheel roll (a "scrolling" touchpad action generates it too).
keydownevent for pageUp and pageDown.
If we add an event handler to these events and
event.preventDefault() in it, then the scroll won't start.
Sometimes that may help, but it's more reliable to use CSS to make something unscrollable, such as the
overflow property.

Forget the Polar Vortex: Heat Wave Kills 100,000 Bats in Australia
The strange weather patterns aren't just happening in the Midwest and Eastern United States. Australia experienced a major heat wave this week across the northeast state of Queensland, with temperatures reaching 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Humans weren't the only ones suffering from the extreme heat after The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals confirmed that 100,000 bats fell to the ground and died on impact, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Many residents found these fallen bats spread across their property — such as Dayboro resident Murray Paas in a YouTube video posted on Jan 4.
Bat Conservation & Rescue Queensland President Louise Sanders told The Courier Mail that "[a]nything over 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit) and [the bats] just fall."
While some of the fallen bats died on impact, some remain alive — even though they appear dead. Queensland health authorities urged residents to not touch any of the scattered bats to prevent any bites and scratches that would spread viruses. Already, 16 people have received antiviral treatment for touching bats they initially thought were dead.
"If you find a bat, it is very important not to touch [it] because of the risk of infection with Australian bat lyssavirus," Chief Health Officer Dr. Jeannette Young said in a statement. "It is very important not to attempt to assist the animal yourself."
If 100,000 bats littered across the state weren't enough of a problem by itself, there's also the smell. Authorities dispatched additional garbage collectors to clean up the dead bats after residents complained about the rotting, uncollected carcasses, made worse by the increased temperatures.
"It's a horrible, cruel way to die," Sanders said. "We're just trying to deal with the animal welfare side of things."
The bats that are still alive but not likely to survive will be humanely euthanized.

I have both FTP and SFTP services running on my server, and both are configured to use the same IP address and Port, port 22. Is this valid?
Each service, FTP, SFTP, HTTP must have a unique combination of IP Address and Port number. If your machine is configured as 192.168.2.100, you can set up FTP to listen on 192.168.2.100:21 and SFTP to run on 192.168.2.100:22.
Trying to configure multiple services to use the same IP and Port, such as FTP AND SFTP both running on 192.168.2.100:22 will result in one of the services failing to start because the IP and Port are in use by the other service.

Be it white water rafting of the more turbulent rivers or just rafting with milder rapids for the noobs, this adventure sport has taken over thrill seekers and how! We've also jumped onto this wagon, or rather this raft, and thoroughly love ourselves some exhilaration in navigating the waters. That said, neither our jobs nor our currently humble finances allow us to troop to the Himalayan region for this over and over again. So, we looked closer home and found plenty of river rafting places in good old Karnataka! And the best time in now when the monsoon ensures the rivers are full and with rapids. No wonder our tourism tagline is 'One state. Many Worlds'. Life vest on? Ready? Off we go.
Ride The Rapids At These River Rafting Routes In Karnataka
The river Cauvery gathers plenty of force here to give you're a great rafting experience. But don't worry about it being scary. There's a lot of flat grounds to give you less rapid. In fact, you can even hop off the raft for a quick dip in the water. When the monsoon hits, in full glory though, be careful. Rapids go up a notch or so to Grade 3 and can be quite a thrilling affair. You can check into Bheemeshwari Nature and Adventure Camp if you are planning to make it a holiday!
Distance: 120 kilometres
Drive time: 3 hours
Just a short way from Davangere, this course is not really for the rapids but for the lovely views. Though there's enough turbulence on the surface of the waters to give you an adrenalin rush, cruising through lush green forests, watching exotic birds on the banks is quite a treat too.
Distance: 260 kilometres
Drive time: 5 hours
Looking for some serious rapids even going up to grade 4 and 5? You've got to go to Agumbe then! Unpredictable current, an ever-changing course and very vociferous during the monsoons, river Sita is a real treat for adrenalin junkies. July to August is the best time to go as the rains will make sure you have terrific levels of water, enough to intimidate even – after all its known to get the highest rainfall.
Distance: 350 kilometres
Drive time: 7 hours
Best to hit up this place in the mornings, more so during the rainy season. And that means now! Licking off at Ganeshgudi you'll start of cool as a cucumber and end up screaming as the quiet waters turn wild! Graded at about 3 for the most part, expect the unexpected as there are sudden dips and sharp slopes on the river bed. And that can only mean one thing – stellar rapids! About 9.5 kilometres, the route means business but unfortunately, it's very dependent on the rains.
Distance: 460 kilometres (It's only 2.5 hours from Goa's Dabolim Airport though)
Drive time: 8 hours
Kodavas are known to be particular about things and they're applying that to rafting too. The sport is divided into two – still water and white water rafting. They've even made it easier by splitting the zone into Dubare river if you're in the north of the county -- that is Madikeri, Kushalnagar, Somwarpet, and Suntikoppa -- and the Barapole River for those holidaying in the south of the region (including Kutta, Gonicoppa, Ammathi, Ponnampet, and Virajpet). While still water rafting is almost therapeutic thanks to the calm river when the clouds burst, water levels rise and rapids are in full swing, it's a whole different and exciting ride.
Distance: 260 kilometres
Drive time: 5.5 hours
Set sail (so to speak) on the marginally menacing river Sharavathi River. Seems familiar? That's because it is the river that forms the famous Jog Falls. Weaving through forests, grasslands and even gentle backwaters, there's ample opportunity to take adrenalin levels up. Islands are part of the river which automatically means the waters can get a bit rough in parts. Life vest on. Helmet check. Now row on! You can check into the Sharavathi Adventure Camp in the vicinity.
Distance: 400 kilometres
Drive time: 7.5 hours
Oh! So you thought you can only be a beach bum in Gokarna? No, Siree! Marvellous if you're looking for some excitement on a quick getaway, the river Kali, like the goddess it is named after, is wild, powerful and rather unpredictable. With rock formations, oodles of uneven terrain and thunderous waters rushing through gorges, you're up for one solid adventure when you bob down this river! Close enough to Dandeli, you can make it a two-nighter for maximum effect.
Distance: 460 kilometres
Drive time: 8 hours

How hitting rock bottom changed this woman's life
MORE than once, anorexia just about cost Bianca Hill her life.
The 25-year-old Byron Shire resident has been battling the disease for the last four years, but hit "rock bottom" at the start of the year when she found herself in the emergency department, followed by a two-month stint in hospital.
"It was horrifying," Miss Hill said.
"I had to be re-fed and re-nourished ... I wanted to die leading up to hospital but being in hospital was some of my darkest days."
Although she has relapsed once since coming out of hospital in March, Miss Hill said it had been the support of others who had experienced anorexia that had kept her out of hospital and through those revelations she realised she could help others.
"It's the most powerful way to help recovery, you can relate to these people, because they've been through it," she said.
"Anorexia an illness that completely ruins your life and a battle that leaves you mentally and physically exhausted each and every day. I don't want to see anybody else nearly lose their life to such a horrible illness."
To address the "dire need" for more support networks for those suffering, sometimes silently in the region Miss Hill will kick off the group Clarity Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Positive Monthly Gathering on Monday night in Byron Bay.
She said were many reasons people chose not to turn to clinical professionals; fear of taking that step into the unknown of finally knowing they need help, fear of judgment, or being unaware of the severity of their illness.
Or, like in her case, may feel they have "provided no support in my recovery now, beforehand and in hospital."
"I know there are men and women out there suffering all over the region, and I want to help people through this.
"For me the only feeling of support and encouragement that has been helpful and feels as if people actually understand and you can relate to , is with somebody who has been through or is going through the same battle."
She urged anyone who was battling any type of eating disorder or body image concerns to attend, to share coping skills and explore how others were regaining their lives back in recovery and self-love.
"We want to help people find the importance of nurturing their body, finding safety in oneself, loving who they are and what they can be in this amazing world," she said.
"We want to create a space of positivity and inspiration amongst everyone and their body and mind, where we will also enjoy some practical breathing activities and tips with Lissie Turner (Yoga Rehabilitation Therapist)."
During the gathering, Miss Hill will share her story along with others in a circle and others could share if they wished, any struggles and stories that helped them, or anything that may help others.
"There's a lady coming who suffers from binge eating and she's happy to talk about her journey," she said.
She said it felt amazing to be able to offer help to those who needed it.
"I know I really needed it before I ended up in hospital and there was nothing around here that offered it," she said.
She said anorexia was the highest killer of any mental health illness, because often others don't see the mental battles sufferers are facing.
"You can be not extremely skinny and still suffer from it," she said.
"I also suffer from body dysmorphia ... I believe I am overweight even though I am meant to be in hospital because I am so underweight."
"If you have hit rock bottom with an eating disorder or if you don't think you can continue on, there are people you can reach out to. It is a community out here. Come and connect with others, feel and know you are not alone, and there's other people out there who are struggling with the same things. Somewhere you can feel safe, loved and welcome and supported."
She said there had been a positive amount of interest in the group so far.
"Feel free to check out my story and journey beforehand through Instagram. I do understand and am always open for a chat or to be a warming presence when you need to relate to someone," she said.
The Instagram account is beecontent_xo.
The Clarity group will meet this Monday, October 15, from 6pm at Future Dreamers at 24 Marvel Street, Byron Bay. Please RSVP to Miss Hill on 0422 968 969.

I've known Katie and Joe for a very long time. In fact, the way that I met Katie was quite a bit hysterical. I worked at another staffing agency from where I am now, and Katie came in looking for a job as she recently moved to the islands. I didn't find her anything in her field (social work), but we hit it off so well that we became friends. She's asked me several times to take photos of her and Joe. Admittedly, they weren't of their wedding since they had been married for years before I met them. One day they sadly announced that they were moving to Argentina to take a break from Hawai`i. Katie asked me to take some photos of them around the island, and I was more than happy to oblige.
Luckily for me, they moved back to our beautiful state and are here to stay. When Katie got back, she volunteered to do a "trash the dress" session with me. I went to the local Goodwill store, bought an old wedding dress, and voila! Katie was transformed into a beautiful bride. She has always been one of my favorite models to call when I need to try something new. She's always excited to help. Her radiance is always easy to capture on camera. The way that Joe and Katie look at each other is equally easy to capture because of the pure love that they have for one another.
I'm not only happy to have a friend, and neighbor (her and Joe are now our next door neighbors), but her as a friend. We always say that we need to spend more time with each other. Clearly that needs to happen. And quite honestly, have another photoshoot.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/05/0528_020528_sunkencities.html Deep in the waters of Cabo de San Antonio, off Cuba's coast, researchers are exploring unusual formations of smooth blocks, crests, and geometric shapes. . The structures are buried under 1,900 to 2,500 feet (600 to 750 meters) of water. (Look at original report for Illustrations)
Clearly Atlantean structures have been discovered off the western tip of Cuba, deep under the water. That sunken structures exist in the Caribbean should be no surprise as the Caribbean in the past was above water, such that man could walk from Florida to Venezuela. (Part of the Atlantean continent) Repeated crustal movements, wherein the Caribbean was the loser, pushed down, have occurred. While sunken structures are most notable off the Bahamas, the Caribbean is rife with them. The Cuba structures are so very deep because they lie in the Yucatán Channel , one of many fault lines and rifts that exist in the region because of the grinding and crunching the Caribbean has sustained.

Visit the Heart of Bayview
The Bayview Community Center was completed in 1995 by local volunteers and is the heart of our community. Bayview is located on the southern edge of Lake Pend Oreille in beautiful North Idaho. The Center is home to many public and private events and serves as a gathering place for numerous groups and local meetings.
The Center was originally conceived in 1991 by the Bayview Chamber of Commerce after the town's previous gathering place, the Bayview Schoolhouse, was condemned. After several generous land grants, over $288,000 in donated cash and labor, and four years of extremely hard work, the Center finally opened its doors to the public on June 30, 1995.
Since that time, further donations have allowed us to expand our parking lots, add a deck and small community library, and build a memorial wall. With all that the Center has to offer, plus beautiful gardens within walking distance of Lake Pend Oreille, we think you'll agree that the Center is the heart of Bayview. We hope you'll stop by and visit us soon!

Oh. Em. Gee.
I loooooved the Men's Health Urbanathlon!
But before that recap, let me show you a bit of what my Saturday consisted of…
^In-N-Out burger. This was our lunch for Bible study. YUM, DUDE.
Then I went out to the Sports Basement to help out as a parking patrol person. It was official because I got to wear a vest and wave a big flag:
It was nice talking to Chad and getting to hear about his awesome hiking adventures! And it was also great seeing the other Running Addicts out there helping with parking 🙂
Oh, yeah! Chimi also came over to help with baking (I think this was on Friday).
We got as far as the cheesecake part… and I was supposed to wait patiently for it to set before pouring the jello mixture… but I was too impatient.
It kind of ruined the look of the cheesecake. Also, I ruined it when I put a plastic cover on it and it stuck to the jello.
And THEN it kind of got owned when I tried to cut it.
Though it doesn't look quite presentable, it was actually pretty tasty.
Anyways, back to the Urbanathlon.
I got to do a warm-up mile (8:24 pace) and felt so excited and blessed to not only have no rain but also the perfect temperature to run in (high 50's or so). The sun was up and the skies were clear, meaning all the views were crystal clear and sooo beautiful.
I didn't look at the elevation chart or anything… if they even had one, but around the first mile, we were met with a pretty big hill:
Miles 3 through 5 were 9:22, 8:17, and 13:23. <—obviously, the stairs slowed me down.
Then running back down Embarcadero, there were no obstacles, so I just ran at a comfortably hard pace. 7:43 and 8:07 (for miles 6 and 7). <—- I really tried not to go TOO all-out because I'm supposed to be tapering.
Miles 8 to the end had some obstacles (of which I was not able… I had to step on a nice man's leg to get over some of them. My apologies to the nice people who I had to step on). 8:51, 8:47, 9:07.
My official finish time was 1:33:15. Total for the day was 11:05 miles in 1:41:41 (though the moving time was 1:37:10? I guess the obstacles appeared to slow me down so much that I wasn't even moving, harhar).
Why did I love this run so much? Because I got to see the sites and discover a nice running route in San Francisco! I'm going to explore one day and see if I can find a route that goes all the way around (staring from my school) and connects to where we were running.
It was also challenging but a fun run. I knew I wasn't going out there to run as fast as I could… I was going for about 75% effort level (for the most part).
Ooh, and I got some awesome post-race goodies:
I'm pretty sure the best thing I got here was this CamelBak Water bottle:
None of this would have been possible if it had not been for Albert from the Running Addicts for letting me know about the opportunity to participate in this great event. Thanks, Albert!
After getting washed up and coming heading straight to church, we were blessed with a wonderful service and then…
A Thanksgiving feast!
^I hope you can tell… that it is a turkey, hahaha.
The jello cheesecake was pretty much the most popular thing.
Or maybe not. There was a group of our youth kids looking at it and not wanting to touch it.
WELL, YOU MISSED OUT, GUYS. It was delicious (except for the chunks of cream cheese. Note: always let the cream cheese sit at room temperature. I guess two hours wasn't long enough?)
It was obviously a decadent weekend. I'll try to eat healthier and be smart about my workouts (not to push too hard!).
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving week 🙂

Dennis Maguire, who has served as Paramount's president of worldwide home media distribution since 2011, is exiting the studio, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. He had been responsible for global sales, marketing and distribution of DVD, digital, VOD and TV licensing across all platforms. His departure comes amid a restructuring of the entire company, ordered by parent Viacom, that saw the Melrose-Ave. studio lay off as many as 40 employees this week. The studio plans to announce a replacement in the coming weeks, a studio spokesperson said. Maguire joined Paramount in October 2006 as president of Paramount Home Entertainment International, and is credited with restructuring the international team, which reached more than $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time in 2007. He also made inroads into Russia and China through partnerships with Universal and Warners, respectively. In 2009, he was named president of Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment Worldwide and was promoted to his current position in 2011. Before joining Paramount, Maguire spent 23 years at Disney's Home Entertainment Division, where he was part of the senior management team that launched the sell-through business. Maguire's exit was first reported by Variety. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Gregg Kilday email@example.com @thr
