Get ready for an exciting range of advances that take you even closer to the beautiful game with FIFA 14.
Test your knowledge of the game in every area as you look for the players to put together a winning team and prepare the tactics to take on your next opponent.
Build your ultimate team of football stars by earning, buying, selling and trading players and items within the FIFA community. Create, manage and compete with multiple squads in new competitions each week.
FIFA 14 introduces the new Real Ball Physics and Pure Shot features that make your attempts on goal more realistic than ever before. Your players will adjust their stride to get off a good shot when the opportunity presents itself but if the chance comes when they are off-balance, the accuracy and strength of their shot will be compromised – just like real life.
That is counterbalanced by improved team-mate intelligence that ensures defenders stay close to their opponents in a bid to limit their opportunities, while keeping an eye out for a counterattacking opportunity.
A new variable first touch makes dribbling with the ball even more of an art, while shielding the ball is more lifelike than ever.
The improved Career mode also makes player scouting more realistic than ever, letting you develop your scouting network and assess players on their attributes.
You can also use the new EA Sports Football Club app for iPhone and Android smartphone to manage your squad, search live auctions and bid to win new players.
FIFA 14 is set to be one of the year's biggest titles for the Xbox 360.

[iS] ~Infamous Society~ Now Recruiting! (Multi-System Clan) (Wii,PS3,360)*trent3* Jul 21, 2012 8:33 PM
First and for-most, here is the clan site!
- Sign up for the site to see our main chatbox. You are always welcome to use the xat though! Feel free to conversate with everyone. We are really chill and get along with most everyone. However, you must be 14 years of age and have at least a 1.00 KDR.
~Some Clan History~
The Infamous Society was founded in December of 2010 so we have been around for over a year! We started originally on the wii, but we have recently spread out into PS3/360 divisions.
~Clan Policy~
- Glitching, Hacking, are all PROHIBITED and will result in a immediate ban if used.
-China Lakes/Rocket Launchers are allowed, however, the grenade launcher attachment is not. We don't mind you using it sometimes, but don't over-do it.
- Don't put the clan tag on until you are apart of the clan.
- No Multi-Clanning.
- No Drama, this clan has zero tolerance for drama here.
- Our Age Limit is usually 14, and we will not take immaturity from any member aspiring to join. We will accept younger members based on there maturity level.
- Founders - Self-explanatory, lol.
- Leaders - To help oversee the rest of the clan and run the clan as a democracy.
- Co-Leaders - 3rd in command to the Leaders and Head Administrators. If a leader isn't present a mod is the next highest authority. If there is ever a disagreement between the leaders, the Moderators are looked to for a response.
- Division Leaders - These guys oversee a specific system. They can also solve a majority of your problems.
- Specialists - (On hold for the moment.) They specialize in tryouts and Recruiting. Must carry the tk address on them at all times. They must find good active members for the clan. (Everyone else can still recruit, it's just this is their main job.)
- Members - The nucleus of the clan. The base and power of the clan. The members are always important and they can voice their opinion and not be scared for what a higher ranking member will say.
- Recruits In Training - This is a 1-2 week position that you will hold until you are evaluated by the Leaders and Moderators to see if you are really Infamous Society Material and when the Leaders go back and look at your Tryouts and such things they will let you know if you are accept into the clan or not. While you're a recruit in Training your tag will be (iS) NOT [iS] but as soon as you are accepted you can remove the parentheses and then add the brackets.
- Honored Guests - If you just wanna stop by and chill out with everyone, we'll add you to this usergroup!
- We are adding new roles for the PS3/360 soon!
~Tryout Process~
You will do two public TDM's and two other game types of your choice. We basically want to know how you play. Be sure to play normally and naturally. This is not the only thing that depends on you getting in the clan. So don't worry if you don't do to well. We care more about how you act as a person. But hey, it never hurts to be good at the game, lol.
~Recruitment Process ~
If you are interested in joining iS, visit our website at joinis.tk or http://InfamousSocietyClan.com/. Once you are there, register and then post an application in the application forum, using the application form provided. The leaders will respond ASAP as to whether your application has been accepted or not. Then, we will schedule a tryout for you, in which you will play 4 games, 2 TDMs and 2 objective-based gamemodes, as this will measure your prowess as a player was well as your willingness to help the team, rather than being just a killwhore. The person who did your tryout will post your scores on the forum, and people ranked Specialist or higher will vote on your tryout. If you get enough people to vote "Yes", you will become an RIT
As an RIT, you will be watched for about 2 weeks, as you play with clan members and regularly visit the forum. At the end of the 2 weeks, we will let you know if you have passed or not. If you have, then you will officially become a member of [iS].
Anyone who has not been seen for over 2 months on the forum and in game will be removed from the Roster, but if they come back at any time they are free to rejoin without losing their spot in the clan.

Twins Ink Doumit to Two-Year Extension
by, 06-29-2012 at 05:56 PM (1180 Views)
Cross one name off the trade deadline "selling" list. Ryan Doumit is here to stay at least for the foreseeable future.
Pleased with the impact of their offseason acquisition, the Twins announced Friday that they've signed the backup catcher and frequent DH to a two-year contract extension worth $7 million.
As the 2011 season came to a close, it had become clear that the catcher position was in drastic need of an upgrade. Joe Mauer, battling assorted health issues, had posted a disappointing .239/.328/.324 line while behind the plate; meanwhile, his backups hit an anemic .158/.209/.227.
With Mauer's wellness still in question, the Twins needed to add a player who could fill in behind the plate. Among the list of available free agents, Ryan Doumit stood out as an ideal fit. A capable backstop with enough lumber to fill in at positions like right field and designated hitter, and with a modest price tag.
Terry Ryan clearly liked those attributes and got him at a bargain: one year, $3 million. Doumit has lived up to expectations. There's a bit more risk involved with his new contract, of course, but we're talking about $3.5 million per year here. That's about what the Twins threw away on seven starts from Jason Marquis this year; about what they're paying Tsuyoshi Nishioka to play in Rochester.
Unlike those two, Doumit has already proven his usefulness. His flexibility suits this club's needs well, now and going forward, and while he's not the kind of dominant bat you build your lineup around he adds some nice switch-hitting punch to the bottom half.
Doumit is on the wrong side of 30 and not hugely athletic to begin with, so there exists a real possibility that his decline phase will hit before this contract is over. He's also been injured a lot during his career, and one healthy half hardly erases that history.
Nevertheless, the Twins are taking a relatively minor risk here and the (very realistic) upside is that Doumit keeps doing what he's been doing this year and most of his career while staying fairly healthy in a role that is designed to keep him that way.
Simply put, he has more value to this team than as a trade chip, especially at the price they've locked him up for. This is a great deal from any perspective.
What do you think about Doumit's new deal? Join the discussion on our forum thread.

What you will learn from this book
- Create and use the different types of EJBs along with the use of the optional session bean business interface
- Create a singleton session bean for application-wide use
- Use declarative and programmatic techniques for security, timer services, and transaction processing
- Use asynchronous session beans to complement message driven beans
- Support aspect oriented features such as logging and data validation using interceptors
- Use EJBs in support of message based applications
- Master the use of deployment descriptors and improved packaging options
- Use EJBs outside of the Java EE environment using the embeddable container
In Detail
Enterprise Java Beans enable rapid and simplified development of secure and portable applications based on Java technology.Creating and using EJBs can be challenging and rewarding. Among the challenges are learning the EJB technology itself, learning how to use the development environment you have chosen for EJB development, and the testing of the EJBs.
This EJB 3.1 Cookbook addresses all these challenges and covers new 3.1 features, along with explanations of useful retained features from earlier versions. It brings the reader quickly up to speed on how to use EJB 3.1 techniques through the use of step-by-step examples without the need to use multiple incompatible resources. The coverage is concise and to the point, and is organized to allow you to quickly find and learn those features of interest to you.
The book starts with coverage of EJB clients. The reader can choose the chapters and recipes which best address his or her specific needs. The newer EJB technologies presented include singleton beans which support application wide needs and interceptors to permit processing before and after a target method is invoked. Asynchronous invocation of methods and enhancements to the timer service are also covered.
The EJB 3.1 CookBook is a very straightforward and rewarding source of techniques supporting Java EE applications.
Each recipe comprises step-by-step instructions followed by an analysis of what was done in each task and other useful information. The book is designed so that you can read it chapter by chapter, or look at the list of recipes and refer to them in no particular order. It is packed with useful screenshots to make your learning even easier.
Who this book is for
The book is aimed at Java EE and EJB developers and programmers. Readers should be familiar with the use of servlets in the construction of a web application. A working knowledge of XML is also desirable.

It's back to school. And high season for parties.
"It tends to be worse when the school year comes on," Kevin Williams Forbes Development. "But as the school year wears on they seem to come down a little bit."
Forbes Development houses about 10-percent of JMU's off campus students. And curbing the noise is a challenge.
"We have security guards that patrol the area and try to stop things before they happen," added Williams.
The city is trying to toughen up its noise laws. It's suggesting making a noise violation a class three misdemeanor. That could run a student a fine of $1,000 and the committee is recommending 50-hours community service. If there is a second violation, it could be a class one misdemeanor with a fine of up to $2,500 and 100-hours of community service.
"It goes to the courts and we were told at the committee that our conviction rate is more than 90-percent on those cases," said Dorn Peterson, Harrisonburg City Council.
The city wanted to have landlords put a clause in their leases that stated if a tenant received three summons, they would be evicted. If they didn't evict, the landlord would pay $1000.
"If they have that in their lease, and actually enforce it then the city would say no we won't ever charge you the $1000," said Peterson.
The landlords say despite the contract, that's one penalty that won't work.
"We can go the ultimate route and try to evict, but typically in the past, we haven't been able to do that," said Williams.
The city is also trying to toughen its laws on junk. It could make it so indoor furniture can't be on front porches.

Served in a Chicago Bears shaker pint glass.
Finally done with the random mixed sixer I made over a week ago. Damn, I gotta stop gettin' sidetracked. This stuff pours a clear dark ruby-brown topped by a finger of dirty white foam. The nose comprises toffee, light cocoa, mild grapefruit zest, light orange zest, and a few blades of grass. The taste amps up the fruits a little bit, ditches most of the cocoa in favor of biscuits, and adds a bit more grass. The body is a rather light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fairly smooth feel. Overall, an okay beer, one that I could see drinking again, but not really something that could ever really wow anybody.

I found this single 12oz brown bottle at the Binny's store in Plainfield, IL for $1.49. All of this company's labels have a Robin Hood theme to them.
The beer pours a clear amber color - eventually! You have to wait about 3 minutes for the outrageously huge head to settle down first before you can see the beer's color. I'm not kidding - 90% of the glass will be filled with off-white head, even with an easy tilted pour, so pour this one slowly. A good amount of lacing remains when everything settles down.
The beer has a nice bready, yeasty smell to it.
The beer also has a big, bready, yeasty flavor to it along with a lot of other stuff. I also pick up some brown sugar and caramel sweetness along with some fruit and bitter hops in the background. Overall I did not really care for this mix of flavors. It's a case where more is not always better. It's too all over the place.
Medium body with medium carbonation.
Glad I found this in a single bottle rather than a 6 pack. It's not awful - it's just not something I'd seek out again.

Light brown in color with plenty of head retention. Medium in body and goes down nice and smooth. Not very hoppy, but enough hop character for its style. An easy beer to make an afternoon of drinking. Bread-like after taste and a bit nutty. A reasonably priced beer at 8.99 a six-pack.

A- Hazy orange-red with a small off-white head with low retention. A small cloud, nice ring and pretty much no lace.
S- Nutty slightly roast malt up front. Some dark fruit notes linger behind it. Caramel malt notes are big as well.
T- Starts with big malt that is nutty, caramel and roast. Also some nice dark fruit notes. The malt is in the finish as well with some grassy hop notes and buttery hints. Definitely some oxidation here.
MF- Light creamy body with moderate carbonation. Slightly bitter. Feels pretty smooth.
DB- A fairly flavorful, balanced beer with nice malt and hops. Nothing jumps out to impress me but it is definitely a solid ale.

A - Darker amber color with a decent sized, foamy, creamy head with a slightly off-white head. Slightly below average retention leaving a thin bubbly layer of lace.
S - Not very strong or prominent with caramel and some pale malt type of aroma. A touch of English hops with a bit of herbal and grassy aroma. Pretty faint.
T - Some caramel and pale malt along with some apple taste. Pretty good amount of bitterness with some herbal and grassy hop flavors. Grassy bitter flavors linger toward the finish. Not overly exciting.
M - Lighter side of medium body with adequate carbonation. A bit of a slick/smooth feel. Slight drying finish.
D - Flavors are a bit bland with a lingering bitter grassy flavor. Not overly drinkable and the flavors just don't meld all that great.
Notes: Average beer that is vaguely English like but not very inspiring or much like other good English beers. Pretty bland aroma and taste. I wouldn't turn it down, but I wouldn't seek it out.

Pours a clear, amber color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and decent lacing. Smells of yeast, sweet malt, citrus, and pale hop. Fits the style of an English Pale Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp with an average carbonation level. Tastes of sweet malt, yeast, hops, citrus, and slight roasted malt. Overall, a rather average EPA.

This one was a semi-gusher - I opened the bottle and it began foaming over. After waiting for things to settle down, I poured very carefully, but resulting in nearly all foam. A nice chestnut body appeared after some time. Nice color - shame that a too-fizzy ridiculously large head interfered.
I had to wait a bit for the head to (noisily) settle to a reasonable point - Caramel struggled to show under heavy green apple and butterscotch.
Smells infected.
The taste was worse. Green apple sourness and a lemony tang. Caramel hardly noticeable. Soapdish, green apple and butterscotch.
Overly fizzy, even with the head settled down.
I assume this is a bottling issue or some infection took place. I hope... I couldn't finish it... Hopefully, I'll have a chance to revisit this one to see if it was an "off" bottle.

Color: clear, deep amber
Smell: moderate maltiness with notes of toast, chocolate and caramel. hop aroma is low and reflects European varieties
Taste: good balance of malt, hop flavor and bitterness. scale is definitely tipped slightly to the malt which is toasty, slightly chocolatey and caramely. secondary nutty malt flavor may be percieved. has a very faint fruitiness. hop flavor is moderate but mellow with a bitterness that lends good balance to the malt. finish is somewhat dry with toasty malt flavor and a bit of bitterness
Mouthfeel: medium body with moderate carbonation
Notes: this is an ESB people! and not a bad one at that. mimics more of a Fullers ESB style with a slightly more complex malt profile than most but still not as delicious as Fullers. nice attempt at the style though.

Cool looking bottle aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this ale. It's brownish/red, opaque, with a nice foamy head and lacing and some malt and barley scent.
It's nicely carbonated and has a very nutty, malt taste. It has a kind of peach aftertaste to it with a slight bitterness. Good flavoring. Excellent, refreshing brew.

Served at just over fridge temperature in the optimal Sam Adams Boston Lager glass, the month of September is notched on the label. Now available in the NYC area.
Appearance- Rich and deep amber, this ale supports a thick, rugged light beige head that has impressive resilience. After a few minutes, it's still complete but thin; lacing is moderate and clings in long, broken islands.
Smell- Bready, malty sweet aromas of caramel and brisk hops infiltrate the nose in abundance. There's plenty to take in, and I love the clean, balanced execution.
Taste- This is a terrific example of a domestic English style session beer that's full of character, taste, and smoothness. The bold, yet balanced ingredients come together and harmoniously dance in the mouth and continue through the swallow. Bready, malty, and sweet with a mellow hop finish.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Subtle and gently carbonated, this is definitely one of the easiest drinking beers I've had recently. It's a solid choice for a session beer that really delivers in the flavor department and overall balance. I would love to pair this with fish & chips with some malt vinegar for dipping.

It was ok - nice balance but a bit watery although I'm not an expert on English Ales. It had a good aftertaste but you didn't get much flavor when the beer was actually in your mouth.
I'd like to try some of their other beers but I wouldn't put "Archer's Ale" on tap at home.

Solid brown color. Looks much closer to a brown ale than a pale ale. Off-white (tan) head thin ring lace on the glass.
Classic English brown ale aroma--some powdered cocoa, a little chalkiness, light hop.
What's the phrase? If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...I'm declaring this to be a decent offering in the English Brown Ale category, regardless of the label ("English Style Pale Ale"). The taste mimics the smell with a thinner body than expected. Add to this a slightly sour swallow, almost too mild to note. Easy to consume.

Florida State Records Record Victory with 35-Point Win at Georgia Tech
ATLANTA, Ga. -- Senior Lysa Moorefield scored a career-high 30 points as the Florida State women's basketball team recorded its largest margin of victory over a league school since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference with an 88-53 win over Georgia Tech at Alexander Memorial Stadium this afternoon. The win improves FSU's record to 6-10 and 2-5 in ACC play while the Yellow Jackets fall to 8-8 and 2-5.
Georgia Tech opened the scoring and led only one other time with a 10-9 advantage at 15:33 in the first half. Florida State ran off the game's next seven points and never trailed again. The Tribe built a lead as big as 17 with 30 seconds left in the first half and went into the lockerroom on top 46-31. FSU was paced by Moorefield's 18-first half points.
Florida State scored the first seven points of the second half to increase its lead to 22 and led by 20 or more the rest of the contest. Georgia Tech's JoAnna Kauffman, who committed her third foul in the first half, fouled out of the contest with 13:30 to play in the game. She finished the game with 10 points.
The win marked FSU's first ACC true road victory since February of 1995 when the Seminoles defeated Maryland 66-59. FSU's last non-home ACC victory was a 64-51 win over Georgia Tech in the play-in game of the 1996 ACC Tournament.
Wendy Hampton, who went 4-for-6 from three-point land, scored 14 points with four rebounds and four steals. Latavia Coleman and Jen Robinson added 11 and 10 points, respectively. Coleman also had a game-high nine rebounds and seven assists in the effort.
With its six victories, FSU has now surpassed its win total of last season.
"I am extremely pleased with the effort and togetherness that we had today," FSU head coach Sue Semrau said. "We've been getting better and better with every game, but we haven't put together a 40-minute game until now and the reward was a very big road win. Our level of control on the court and playing together was the key to today's win. All good things take time."
Florida State returns to action on Wednesday, Jan. 21 with a 7 p.m. contest vs. Florida at Tully Gym. The game is the first of a three-game home stand for the Tribe. FSU will host Maryland on Friday, Jan. 23 and NC State on Sunday, Jan. 25.

The Best—and Worst—Places to Build a Nest Egg
A state-by-state look at how workers saving for retirement will fare.
Slideshow: The Best—and Worst—Places to Build a Nest Egg
[Find Your Best Place to Retire using our search tool.]
Washington (Score: 32). In the near term, Washington has the country's most promising real estate market. Home prices there are expected to surge by a whopping 6.6 percent per year between 2010 and 2013, according to Moody's Analytics, providing residents who are downsizing for retirement with opportunities to put away some extra cash. Still, for new home buyers, getting a foot in the door can be hard given how expensive the Evergreen State's housing market is. The median home price there is upwards of $235,000. Another bright spot: Washington doesn't tax capital gains or wages. One of the state's bigger problems is its unemployment rate. At 8.9 percent, it's still below the national average, but it's high nonetheless.
North Dakota (Score: 30). Nationally, the unemployment rate sits at 9.5 percent. But in North Dakota, which boasts the country's lowest joblessness rate, it's just 3.6 percent. And as other states struggle to grow their labor markets, North Dakota's is healthier than ever. Notably, as of last month, more North Dakotans had jobs than ever before—even in the pre-recession years. North Dakota's biggest soft spot is its housing market. Between 2010 and 2013, home prices there are expected to grow at 0.2 percent per year, according to Moody's Analytics. That puts the state right in the middle of the pack.
The worst states:
Ohio (Score: 9). Not much is going right for Ohio residents. In the near term, their home prices are expected to take a huge hit. Between 2010 and 2013, home prices there are projected to drop by 3.5 percent per year, according to Moody's Analytics. Only in Florida, where prices are expected to fall by 5 percent, is the outlook worse. Don't expect great tax treatment in Ohio, either. Notably, the state's state and local tax burden, expressed in terms of taxes as a percentage of income, is 10.4 percent, the seventh highest in the country. Meanwhile, the state's 10.5 percent unemployment rate exceeds the national average.
California (Score: 11). California's swelling budget gaps and overall fiscal mess have grabbed no shortage of national headlines. But it's not just the state government that's struggling to rebuild its finances. Notably, the state has a staggering 12.3 percent unemployment rate. Only Michigan (13.2 percent) and Nevada (14.2 percent) have worse labor markets. In terms of home prices and tax burdens, California is in the same position as Ohio. The state's most redeeming quality for those looking to build a nest egg is its salaries. The per capita income there is $42,346.
Kentucky (Score: 12). Wages in Kentucky are among the worst in the country. The per capita income there is $32,476. Nationally, the equivalent number is $39,423. The real estate market is also discouraging. Between 2010 and 2013, home prices in Kentucky are expected to decline by an average of 0.9 percent per year, according to Moody's Analytics. The silver lining is that for people looking to save money on mortgages, houses there are relatively inexpensive to start with. Notably, the median home price is under $120,000.
Indiana (Score: 14). While not at the bottom of the pack in any of the categories, Indiana is decidedly below average in nearly all of them. In particular, Hoosier State residents shouldn't count on home sales to fund their retirements. Between 2010 and 2013, home prices there are expected to tumble by an average of 2 percent per year, according to Moody's Analytics. At the same time, wages won't pick up the slack from the souring real estate market. Currently, the per capita income in Indiana is $34,196, which is solidly below the national level of $39,423.
Georgia (Score: 16). The Peach State's unemployment rate, which is currently 10 percent, is above the national average of 9.5 percent. Wages are also subpar: The per capita income there is $33,708, a tad worse than Indiana and well below the national level. The state's state and local tax burden, expressed in terms of taxes as a percentage of income, is 9.9 percent, which is a tad above the national average of 9.7 percent. Georgia's saving grace is its housing market. Home prices are expected to grow there by an average of 0.5 percent per year between 2010 and 2013, according to Moody's Analytics.

So many competing interests involved in the Minnesota Vikings' bid for a new stadium, so little time to get a deal done...
Rehashing yesterday's press conferences from Gov. Mark Dayton and Lester Bagley on the Minnesota Vikings' stadium situation.
The MN Vikings have a favorite proposed stadium site and it isn't the Metrodome, but that's the site that the Minneapolis mayor and city council support. Can it work with the Vikings' plans for fan...
The Minnesota Vikings have released two renderings of a potential new football stadium at the Arden Hills site.
Recent legal implications for media coverage of the Minnesota Vikings' stadium quest in Minnesota.
Is Kurt Zellers the most disliked man in MN politics for his stand against a special session for a MN Vikings stadium? Not so fast, may I present Governor Mark Dayton.
According to our friend Cory Merrifield over at SavetheVikes.org, tonight there is a meeting of the Ramsey County Charter Commission. The meeting is meant to gather public testimony about the proposed Minnesota Vikings stadium in Arden Hills. The Commission is trying to determine whether it should vote to put County contribution to the proposed stadium on the ballot via the benighted voter referendum. The anti-stadium folks will probably be there, it would be swell if some of the pro-stadium element in Ramsey County would show up too.
Challenging the negative perceptions surrounding the Minnesota Vikings' bid for a new stadium.

A five bedroom West Aspen home was built by a long time local realtor with a history of development and a growing family. He carefully and creatively designed every inch of the home as a culmination of years of trial and error building spec homes in the valley, with a real eye for detail. Considered as Aspen's favorite family neighborhood, the West Meadow subdivision is maintained by one of the oldest and most established home owner's associations in town. Single family zoning is protected on the cul de sac. Cemetery Lane bike path and the free shuttle which runs along the lane to and from town are two of the perks of living on this kid-centric street. Open floor plan on the upper level living area provides a nice flow from kitchen,indoor and outdoor living spaces and dining room.
Kitchen was designed with dining counter at table level which seats four. Winter views of Aspen Mountain from the upper living spaces are framed by a roaring fire in the main living room. Summer leaves offer a tree house feel from Kitchen, Living and Master Suite. Interior natural stone floors at the entry level are warmed with radiant heat as are the reclaimed oak floors on the main living level. With kids and dogs in mind an integrated vacuum system was designed with a built in kitchen "dust†pan that sucks the dog hair right up.
Aspenites relish the outdoors and have always sought to master the art of outdoor living. Nowhere has this been better accomplished. Just off the kitchen/living room the local bears are no match for this sunny, upper level, living space just off the kitchen with barbeque, dining area and plenty of room to lounge. Built in perennial flower beds are irrigated, stained stamp concrete patio has snowmelt and drainage system for spring clean up and the stone fire pit will take the chill off cool Aspen nights. Neighbor kids will flock if you supply the s'mores. Back yard lawn area off the main level family room is a great option for more rough shod play.
Designed on three levels there is flexibility of the floor plan at every turn. The Existing main level office is an ideal work space with ample space for file storage and office machinery but for those needing an additional bedroom plumbing for a shower was roughed in pre-construction in the existing Powder Room.
A well thought out utility room is accessed from the interior of the home or from an exterior stair well so visiting service providers don't have to enter the house to maintain the homes high tech mechanical systems. The exterior stair well also serves a lower level bedroom suite, ideal for Nanny or visiting guests / in laws.
Not everyone requires a custom, museum-grade collections room with a professional revolving dry cleaners rack encased in glass…this lower level room offers all sorts of options ….theater, game room, gym, additional bedroom OR bring your own collection and move right in.
Aspen, as one of the world's unique resorts, has long been known for a diversity of distinctive architecture. 1345 Mountain View integrates Aspen's ranching /mining heritage with more contemporary "Aspen Mountain†finishes. Longevity, durability and maintenance free materials were among the goals when considering the exterior finishes. Siding of reclaimed barn woods and roof of rusted, corrugated tin (in parts) provides an interesting palate of texture and color and provides a sense of permanence to this coveted family home. Lush, mature landscaping carries through the 15,000 foot single family lot which is bordered by storied Aspen and Spruce trees.

The NHL fan's paint-by-numbers guide to proposing every free agent and trade acquisition under the sun.
Bits: Wheeling, Dealing and Drafting: Draft prep, info, and recap of yesterday. #isles #nhldraft
Amid many wounds this Christmas, the Islanders are handing out votes of confidence to themselves: to Scott Gordon, to Brendan Witt, to Garth Snow -- and the rookies, who better step it up.
With the NHL holiday roster freeze, don't expect Islanders GM Garth Snow to go into sell mode until the turn of the calendar.
Kirk Muller did not spend an honest moment as an Islander from the day he was acquired until the day he was gone, but he did honestly believe he had a higher calling and it was not to be a leader on the New York Islanders. ... [Mike] Peca was one of those Captain Canada types, but he never acted like royalty. In contrast, Captain Kirk thought he was King Kirk and the magic was only there for Linden when he was in Vancouver.Chris Botta, on the risks when importing someone else's "leader"

Did a neurologist diagnose you in 2007? That doctor should have discussed using one of the ten disease-modifying therapies with you right away and provided you with symptom medications that can make you feel more comfortable. If you feel you aren't getting the proper care, contact your local chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for a list of MS specialists in your area.
Yes, I DO have neuropathy. I do have diabetes. I do have cervical spine problems, like herniated cervical disks (two repaired, one needing it now) and yes, I have Hep C. And yep, 've had two heart attacks (clogged artery - repaired with four medicated stents). My ankles are brown, spotty, with millions of spider veins.Those same kind of spider veins are all over my legs - in less than two years. I am now 56, supposedly already gone through menopause cause I have not had a period in 13 years. I am 56. I have these horrid clammy sweats now, changing clothes and linens up to six times per day. Who needs that laundry bill?! Who has the energy to even DO that laundry? I air dry the sweaty clothes and pray I don't stink. I have very little "smelling ability" left!
My list of diseases/disorders grows longer every year but the ONE thing that no one will even entertain, that no doctor will even say aloud, is that thsi all could be all the above PLUS multiple sclerosis. Since the neuro problems really started about 1995, I've battled "neuropathy" ever since ... it's painful, the pain gets worse with exercise, and I have recently had my teeth pulled by a shoddy dentist, who neglected to inform me that I didnt have enough maxilla ridge to even hold in a denture so I am now toothless and ugly as sin. I've got more wrinkles, and got them in less than 90 days, than Carter has liver pills!
My sense of humor is the ONLY thing I have left, but it's getting so macabre that you have to KNOW me to know it is joking. "Suicide by cop after a few choice homicides" --- ha! I don't even own a gun, would never shoot anyone and would likely end up shooting myself in the leg, or blowing off my hand, by accident just loading one! I am so angry though.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Why do all these symptoms mean nothing except: diabetes, neuropathy, herniated disks? I don't get it. What about the spasms, the loss of memory, the loss of ability to recall names of people I see all the time, the stumble-bum walking ... and more!?! Even if they're not MS, I live with the symptoms just like it! How can I ever TELL it's MS if doctors don't even want to diagnose it? I'm not made of money, I use Medicaid cause I am officially now disabled. And in Alaska, with Xerox just taking over Medicaid, thanks to our lousy politicians, I'm getting LESS medications than ever, having to inject insulin blindly (no test strips), authorized surgeries suddenly yanked and declined the day of the surgery! I don't know how much more of this crap I can take.
The idea of suicide comes often. I AM loved and wanted so I cannot do that, I know .... but sometimes, at the height of all the pain, the spasms and mental wondering ... it sounds so good. Eternal rest from all this mess sounds pretty darn good during some weeks, and then ... nope! The rest of the time I'm fine. Nothing comes and goes like this EXCEPT multiple sclerosis. WHY do doctors run from the dx?
You sound like a dear soul. You are intelligent, but face it, you are really in bad shape, physically. I humbly offer you my input, only because you seem like the type of person who can see a situation, and make a decision. By the way, your sense of humor is great to see. And, as you say, you have your loved ones also. And you have your intelligence.
Your post is asking physicians to figure out what is wrong with you, and give you the right medication to make you healthy again. You have heart disease. You have diabetes. You think you probably have MS. You are intelligent. You know the answer to this question. Can a physician heal heart disease, diabetes or MS? No, not at all. The most physicians promise, is medications or surgery to help you live with those conditions, while the condition hopefully does not get worse too quickly. But there is a great deal of hope! Please read on.
There is a movement of physicians who have been curing heart disease, diabetes and hypertension and more, for over 30 years. I follow Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat To Live diet. Dr. Fuhrman has excellent success with autoimmune disease, including MS, also. I believe Dr. Fuhrman has improved upon the other programs I list. I followed Pritikin for 30 years, and changed to Fuhrman 6 years ago.
President Bill Clinton has adopted the Ornish diet, and is reversing his heart disease. Dr. Dean Ornish (www.pmri.org ).
Dr. Esselstyn published the most effective treatment for heart disease, ever published in a medical journal. See his website www.heartattackproof.com and click on Article/Studies, to see references of articles he authored, in including 2 articles in the American Journal of Cardiology, Preventive Cardiology, and more.
The Pritikin Longevity Center has been open over 30 years, and has published over 100 articles in medical and nutrition journals. Open www.pritikin.com and click on Your Health - Scientifically Proven Results. A couple exerpts:
Control Diabetes and, for Many, Eliminate the Need for Drugs
A meta-analysis of 864 diabetics found that fasting glucose fell on average 19% within three weeks. Of those on oral drugs, 74% left Pritikin free of these drugs, and the majority of the others had their dosages significantly reduced. Of those taking insulin shots, 44% left insulin-free. Journal of Applied Physiology,98: 3, 2005. See also Diabetes Care, 17: 1469, 1994.
A two- to three-year follow-up of another group of diabetics who attended the Pritikin Center documented long-term control of diabetes through the Pritikin Program. Diabetes Care, 6: 268, 1983.
A five-year follow-up of 64 people who went to Pritikin instead of having coronary bypass surgery found that 80% had never needed the surgery. Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation, 3: 183, 1983.
The Pritikin Center was covered by 60 Minutes twice, back in the 1970's.
Other leaders of the movement I follow, are Dr John McDougall (www.drmcdougall.com ) and Dr. Neal Barard (www.drnealbarnard.org )
Please see my posts on this website:
The wonderful thing is, that the same treatment, this diet and exercise, is the treatment for all of these conditions. I eat vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts and seeds, and whole grains.
In Alaska, you can have frozen veggies and fruit. Beans are the only cheap and super healthy food. Do the best you can to find some lettuce and other greens, in your market.
If this is all true, why have you not heard of this? Why has you doctor not told you? Why has you doctor not head of this? The most important reason is probably that no one has a financial incentive to publicize this program. You can't keep the operating rooms full and the pharmaceutical companies prosperous, by telling people how to avoid drugs and surgery by getting well.
Wishing you the best in health, EngineerGuy (Stacy)

How does the build quality of the E431 compare with the T-series. I understand that the T-series is maintained by IBM where as the Edge is a Lenovo only product. Also, the T-series is certified according to military specifications. Can we expect the same quality with the Edge ?Wanted to go for the T series but due to budget limitations I decided to just stick with the E431. I don't expect T series quality by a long shot for just half the price. But this is a valid question I would like to know myself.
