Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. This disease is widespread in humans and many other warm-blooded animals. It is estimated that 30-40% of all Americans have been infected with the parasite. Cats, including wild species, are the only animals which harbor the adult parasite in their intestinal tract. These adult parasites produce oocysts (eggs) that are passed in the cat's feces. These eggs must develop for 1 to 5 days in the environment before they become infective, and they can remain infective for up to 18 months in the soil and in the cat's feces. When other animals and humans become infected with this parasite, cysts are formed in their tissues (muscle, brain, etc..,), but no adult parasites develop in their intestinal tract. Although animals other than cats do not shed eggs in their feces, the cycle continues when the tissues of an infected animal are eaten by another susceptible animal or person.
The 3 main ways of spreading the parasite are:
The two major sources for the transmission of toxoplasmosis are meat and cat feces. By handling raw meat or eating raw or undercooked meat, a person may ingest parasite cysts and develop the disease. Although any meat source may contain Toxoplasma tissue cysts, pork appears to be the main meat source of infection in the United States. Venison and meat from other wild animals can also be sources of T. gondii cysts, as can unprocessed goat's milk. Infected cats usually shed eggs in their feces for only 1 to 2 weeks during their lives. Cats develop immunity against the parasite, which usually prevents reinfection. Because the immune cat is unlikely to become reinfected, it is unlikely that the cat will ever shed eggs again.When eggs are swallowed by other animals or humans, they hatch and multiply within the muscle tissue. These cysts remain in the host's tissues for the lifetime of that animal or person, which also produces immunity to reinfection.
Ingestion of only a few eggs may result in no noticeable illness, but immunity may still be developed. Illness is more likely to result when a large number of eggs or tissue cysts are ingested. The illness may vary from flu-like symptoms to more severe symptoms such as enlarged, painful lymph nodes, fever or eye infection. Any organ may be involved and the condition may spread throughout the body.When a previously non-infected woman becomes infected during pregnancy with T. gondii, the fetus (unborn baby) may become infected as well. The effect on the fetus is most severe during the first half of the pregnancy. The unborn child may develop permanent birth defects such as malformations, mental retardation, impaired vision, deafness, and death.
No, people should not be afraid to own a cat. Current data suggests that ownership of pet cats does not increase the risk of toxoplasmosis. However, cats that are allowed to hunt wild rodents and birds are much more likely to become infected with T. gondii than cats that are kept indoors. Infected cats rarely shed eggs in their feces more than once in a lifetime, after which transmission to humans is unlikely. Cats can be tested by a veterinarian for evidence of exposure to the toxoplasma organism. Because cats may not develop antibodies to T. gondii during the egg-shedding period, a negative serologic response does not provide useful information regarding the ability of a particular cat to transmit toxoplasmosis. A cat with a positive blood test probably has already completed its episode of egg shedding. If a woman is pregnant or considering pregnancy, she can also be tested by her physician. By checking both the woman and the cat, proper recommendations can be made.
Approximately 30% of the women of childbearing age in the U.S. have been exposed to T. gondii and are immune to toxoplasmosis. The remaining 70% are at risk of being infected with T. gondii during pregnancy. When a woman becomes infected with T. gondii during pregnancy, there is a 20 to 50% chance that her unborn child will be infected. It is estimated that only one in every 3,000 pregnancies is complicated by toxoplasmosis. Nevertheless, because the unborn baby is so vulnerable to this disease, pregnant women should take every precaution to prevent infection with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite.
People who are immunocompromised (have a reduced function of the immune system) contract zoonotic infections (infections that are shared by people and pets) more often from contaminated food, water, soil, or other people than from pets. Toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised people usually results from reactivation of previous infections. There is no additional danger of transmission of the parasite from their cat. However, toxoplasmosis in the immunocompromised is a more serious disease, with the most common manifestation being encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).

Dawngate Overview
Dawngate is a new MOBA, built from the ground up to look and feel familiar while offering a whole new way to experience MOBA gameplay. Dawngate empowers you to forge the champions you love for the roles you want in a competitive arena, shaped by ever-evolving, community-driven content and story.
Binding Towers: Push through either lane to destroy the enemy's towers and gain upgrades to your minions to push harder than ever before. But each subsequent tower is immensely stronger and towers can regenerate over time so don't ever let up the push!
Base Boss: Think you're team is going to push to an early win? Think again. The enemy base is protected by a powerful boss that will require you to level up your characters and push plenty of minions to stand a chance against, allowing the other team ample time to regroup and recover.
Altar Resources: Four resource nods farmed by npc minions provide additional gold to the team in control. But watch out as your enemy can ambush your npcs to hinder your progress.
Rolls: Choose your roll on the team from the start without care for which hero you pick to impact the way you gain resources, opening up the meta to allow more diverse team strategies.

Dawngate – First Look
Dawngate Review
By Jason Parker (Ragachak)
Waystone's Dawngate is in the process of being rebuilt. But I have invested a chunk of my time into this game, and what I have come back with is a mixed bag of emotions. Multiplayer Online Battle Arena are the flavor of the month right now. Among them are SMITE, League of Legends, Dota 2, the upcoming Infinite Crisis (which I am also in the beta for), and a host of others. Waystone is trying terribly hard to take the tried and true MOBA formula and turn it into its own game. For better or for worse, I feel like they at least succeed at that much. One of the major problems with video game communities is the notion of the "killer." Every MMO wants to be the "WoW-killer." Every MOBA wants to dethrone League of Legends and Dota 2. It is this unfortunate mindset that I believe leads to the toxic communities these games have to offer (that and the anonymity of the internet). Perhaps it is this writer's idealism, but if communities would work together, there would be a lot more enjoyment in games in general. The genre doesn't have to reinvent itself with every game. FPS and RPG titles are proof of that. Just enjoy smile, say "GLHF," and get in the game.
You Aren't Dealing With Your Average MOBA Anymore
MOBA titles have the same goal: break past the enemy defenses, and destroy their base. How they are set up generally varies, but the goals are the same. One positive for Dawngate is that it's very different in its map set up. The average MOBA layout is three lanes: two duo lanes, one solo lane in the center, and a jungle. You have three towers in each lane that lead into the main base. Here is where Dawngate draws the line. It is still the traditional five on five combat we have come to know and love, but there is no solo lane. The middle of the map is where the large enemy (Baron, Nashor) arrives at. Dawngate offers two lanes and a jungle, without a solo lane. This puts a great deal of emphasis on the jungler role; if you have no jungler, there is a lane of three people, or perhaps someone roaming from lane to lane instead, and either way the xp is split in an uneven manner. I've had several games where this turned out to be a liability. Another factor on the map is the Spiritwells. There are four of them, one in each corner, with two per team. You can acquire these after ten minutes, noted by an unlocking animation. Stealing these essentially gives you worker minions who are farming currency for you. It can become a major objective, especially if you are behind, to grab these and increase your income.
There is no leveling system to worry about, either. You do not start with a complete collection of items for your loadouts (think runes, etc.), and those are purchased with "Destiny," a currency you get post-game. You do start with a few of these to place on your grid, and there are several slots to try different builds. One thing I liked about this system was not having to grind for twenty or so levels to add stats to my character. While Dota 2 already eliminates this issue, and I find their system more enjoyable, it's also nice to not have to wait level after level just to add a few points to my champs when the system does exist. Loadouts are made in a square pattern with a certain amount of space in it, and a variety of shapes to fill it with. These shapes offer a bonus on their own, and have slots for gems, kind of like material in Final Fantasy VII. The gems offer their own intrinsic benefits. You do not start off with many of these, but I have had no problem getting Destiny to purchase other shapes/gems. In a way, I like this more than leveling to 30, because I can start the game in my first match with builds that I think might work. If I find they do not, I can just change them.
A Rose By Any Other Name Feeds Just As Hard
Another point to look at is nomenclature of playable characters. In League, they are called Champions; in Dota, Heroes; in SMITE, Gods. In this strange community, you best come correct with the right lingo. In Dawngate, we have Shapers. I was sort of surprised at how few Shapers I was offered at this stage in the closed beta, but after a few wins I could afford to purchase a few of them to try, other than the free to play offerings. This game is different from its predecessors in many ways, and this portion is certainly no exception to that. I have not played as everyone yet, but I have tried a healthy spoonful of the characters and I have found what I like and what I do not. Yes, most of the abilities are going to look familiar from some game or another, but that's the price you pay for playing MOBAs. You will run out of cool powers eventually. One thing I thought was interesting was the lack of Mana. In Dawngate, Shapers either cast freely (with cooldowns), or have some other gimmick. I have yet to play with anyone that used "mana." One Shaper used their health, a'la Vladimir. Another had Spirit, which refilled on its own. This is a pretty interesting point; not a game breaker by any measure, but certainly interesting.
The Item system is also new and exciting. It is very streamlined, and in a lot of ways, it reminds me of earlier games. While the names of the items are generic and boring, the effects are pretty wild. You start with your green items (sort of like WoW, you have green/blue/purple), which are the basic items. The cost for the blue items are a little higher, and the purples higher still. The prices are not unreasonable though. If you click on the purple items, it shows you the path to take. It is better than having to buy seven items just for one, even if it is over simplified. There are still health pots and other utilities, but the game does lend a hand in what items your character probably should start with. And again, the spiritwells help you get currency to buy items, which is a definite plus.
Surrender At…13?:
The issue of surrendering is important to many MOBA players. There's the "NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!" camp. Then we have the "Jungler failed a gank, time to surrender" camp. Dawngate sort of sits in the middle, and there is so much jungle on this map, that I feel that this merits mentioning all on its own. The folks at Waystone offer a few instances where a surrender is free and clear to just get the game over with. In League of Legends, if a player disconnects, you still have to fight it out, until twenty minutes passes. Dota 2 gives a five minute leeway. When five minutes passes after a disconnect, the game informs you that you can surrender, and get out of the match. It also gives this option if there is a huge, overwhelming amount of kills on one side or another. I thought it was kind of nice, but it was a little upsetting to see that the game was just unwinnable. I have won a horde of matches when we were 20+ kills under in other MOBAs. I do not know if that is as viable in Dawngate, as I have seen a few matches where one player wanders and murders an entire team. Perhaps it is not balanced yet, but it is still in Closed Beta.
Post-game has its own interesting details. After the game is over, you are taken to a screen that asks you to click on players who made the game fun and enjoyable (Karma). You can click as many players as deserve this. Depending on how long the match was, if it is your first win of the day, victory, and Karma, you are given a score, and depending on how high you go, you get to open a chest, that gives a variety of items. Examples of these are currency and shapes for your loadout boards. There are some unrevealed aspects of this yet, so it is pretty difficult to reach the top of the charts just yet. But, we shall see! I do think this is a pretty cool concept, and even if you are the bottom, you still get the common chest.
One final note on this beta: I have been in a dozen betas over the past couple of months. Literally! I have to say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I have never seen a more self-entitled, toxic, abusive community. It is even worse than League of Legends' community, so far that I've seen. There are nice people in this tiny community; however, there are a whole host of people ready to yell and scream and rage if a simple mistake is made. I suppose this is part and parcel for all online games, but I was genuinely surprised at the level of toxicity in a beta. The point of a beta is not to get good at the game before everyone else; it is to learn the game, find bugs/inconsistencies, point out other flaws and broken characters for hopeful balancing. That simply cannot be done if players are just in it for bragging rights.
Final Thoughts: Work-in-Progress.
I really want to like the ideas that Waystone is dropping here. It's a different sort of MOBA, while also keeping traditional elements. There is still quite a bit of distance to go for the Waystone team, but I have confidence that they can do it. I do hope they release more Shapers into the beta, or perhaps make more of them available at one time, but that is something I simply do not have power over. (But if you're reading, I've always got ideas! Just sayin'!) There are a lot of good and bad things, but overall, I think it is a beautiful game, and way better than its original iteration. I was genuinely surprised at how detailed the graphics were, how interesting the characters sounded, the kits were fun, and overall, I enjoy playing the game.
2013 Preview By Remko Molenaar (Proxzor)
Some naysayers claimed the MOBA genre was just a passing fad that couldn't support more than a few games at a time. Yet now in 2013 we're knee deep in new MOBAs, each offering a different take or tweak on the tried and true formulas of past titles. Not only is it fun to play with your buddies, you can test your skill and gain ranking against the rest of your game's population. I couldn't be happier as nothing brightens my day as much as being asked to cover a MOBA for my latest assignment. And so that assignment has come in the form of Dawngate, a new MOBA trying to make a name for itself as development continues through various short beta phases. I managed to snag a key off their Reddit page and test out the latest phase.
The company behind this game is Waystone Games, a studio most of you are probably hearing about for the first time. Dawngate is actually their first title to enter testing. If you're a sucker for close communications with the development team, Waystone won't disappoint. With the community still as small as it is, and the game features still in such heavy flux, now is the ideal time to chat it up with them and see if you can influence the development of Dawngate towards your vision of what a MOBA should be. Beyond forum communications, it's not uncommon to see a known developer in-game testing various factors. I get the feeling from my brief interaction with them that Waystone is a company consisting of gamers, seeking to make a MOBA for gamers rather than for profit.
Now onto the actual game! What is the standard MOBA and what is Dawngate doing to tweak the rules? Well for the newcomers of this genre, a MOBA or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena is a type of strategy game you play as a team. Usually the map is symmetric and you have a team of 5 players on each side. And usually there are three lanes for players to play on along with zig zagging routes between the lanes filled with monsters you can kill for bonus experience. The first initiative Dawngate makes to change the rules is the set-up of the map itself. In Dawngate you only have two lanes, and a bigger jungle that actually has a meaning besides a way to grab some quick cash and the occasional buffs. You see in addition to the standard monster spawns, there are also four camps, 2 per team, that automatically farm money for you. But these camps can also be taken over, so a jungler's role evolves beyond farmer and ganker to also include gate keeper as they'll have to keep constant vigil that their team's camps aren't overrun. The jungle is too large for one player to manage themselves so the entire team will need map awareness to recognize when someone is missing so that camp conquest can be prevented. Once a camp is captured, you gain control of its gold flow and gain a temporary lock so your rivals can't just capture it straight back right after. As a result, team fights happen more often and less predictably compared to other MOBAs I've experienced.
These map changes are interesting and shake up the gameplay, but I have my doubts about the system. It's challenging to implement something that is completely different than what the usual MOBA player is comfortable with; MOBA players typically get struck in a rut where they've worked so hard to master their systems that they react with anger when the game doesn't fit their desired mold. Sure if the new system's fun factor overrides that initial hate, it can work. But I don't think Dawngate has found the right balance as of yet.
The major flaw with their map comes when one team is badly losing the laning phase. If your opponents get an early lead and play smart, they can keep your team constantly pushed back against their towers, meaning there is no way you can jump from your lane to defend your jungle camps. This results in the already dominant team gaining four sources of passive income to steamroll to an easy win. It's like kicking someone that is already down on the ground begging for forgiveness.
Terms of Heroes or Champions might sound familiar to you, but in Dawngate these heroes are called Shapers. Currently the game is limited to an unusually small pool of shapers, with only around 10 available to play. And even though Waystone has put an admirable amount of effort into making the Shapers look and sound unique, their kits feel directly inspired from characters seen in other MOBAs. Without a doubt, new games will take something from old and successful games, but some of these Shapers are in my eyes a little too much inspired by some of them.
Thankfully this kit stealing is alleviated slightly by the role choosing system. Each shaper is able to choose a role prior to the start of each match. This means you can actually play a single Shaper in various lanes and still be viable. Do you feel like playing the carry role in the lanes? You simply choose one of the four available 'roles' and boom you get the extra required stats that will grant you the needed bonuses for the lane. The four roles you can pick from are the Gladiator that is meant for the carries, the Tactician that is meant for the support role, the Hunter that is made for jungling and the Predator for the Shapers wanting to roam the map. I imagine this system is incredibly difficult to balance and give Waystone props for introducing it since it kills two birds with one stone. It keeps the game fresh for a longer period of time while allowing players a better chance of choosing the Shaper of their choice since you won't be locked out on playing them just because someone called their standard lane on your team.
Current State: Good
I hopped into Dawngate after reading Hhean's article a few months back expecting to see a much more polished title. It's clear though that Dawngate is still in a phase of heavy development, but you can see they are picking the pieces and shaping this into a truly promising MOBA. Despite my various issues, overall I left the game knowing I had an enjoyable experience, and their twists on the standard MOBA, while not perfect, still left a good impression when imagining what they could offer when polished for launch. As far as the gameplay and graphics, I do not want to go into full detail yet since the game can change a lot, but the gameplay itself was smooth, and the graphics are certainly on par with the competition. All in all it looks like S.S. Dawngate is sailing on the right course, and barring any icebergs, should arrive as one pretty vessel come launch day.

ATLANTA (AP) - Rookie Elena Delle Donne scored 25 points and Chicago strengthened its hold on the Eastern Conference lead by beating the cold-shooting Atlanta Dream 67-56 on Saturday night.
Sylvia Fowles had 10 points and 13 rebounds and Swin Cash had 12 points for the Sky (20-8). Chicago, which has won five straight, stretched its lead in the East to 4½ games over second-place Atlanta.
Angel McCoughtry had 20 points for the Dream (14-11), who fell to 11-2 at home. McCoughtry opened the game by sinking a jumper, but that 2-0 advantage was Atlanta's only lead.
The Dream matched their fewest points in franchise history and set the mark for their lowest field-goal percentage (28.6%).

Road Trip Tips for Young Families
If getting there is half the fun, then road-tripping with a young child makes your journey an adventure! While traveling with kids can be a challenge, taking vacations shouldn't become a thing of the past for your family.
Planning Your Trip
- If you're visiting family or friends, find out what baby equipment they have or can borrow, so you don't have to pack everything. Contact rental centers that may carry big-ticket or bulky baby items such as cribs and high chairs.
- Reserve a crib at your hotel. Many hotel cribs are smaller than standard, in order for them to fold to fit through the doorway, and may not include a baby bumper. You may be more comfortable bringing your own portable playpen or crib.
- Schedule an oil change, tune up, and other vehicle repairs/maintenance at least a week before your trip. Don't forget to check the condition of your tires.
- If you've been putting it off, now is the time to get a free child safety seat inspection. For locations and helpful safety information, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
- Install a mirror so you can see your baby sitting in a rear-facing car seat.
- If possible, plan your trip around feeding and nap schedules. Avoid rush hour and heavy traffic times. Consider driving at night if your baby sleeps well in the car.
- Allow extra time for your trip because no doubt you'll be making more frequent stops along the way. Babies need to stretch and move about, especially after being confined in a car seat for a while. Stops will help relieve boredom and allow for more personal interaction.
- Don't get lost! Plan your route down to the last detail.
Packing the Car
- Don't pack to the gills. It always happens that you bring more stuff home, especially on vacations and trips to the grandparents.
- If you don't already have one, create an emergency kit filled with first aid kit, flashlight, tools, water, etc. If you're traveling in hazardous winter weather, pack warm blankets in case you're stalled or stuck somewhere.
- Make a list of things to bring and keep it in your suitcase. On the return trip, you can check that you've packed everything (including the beloved blanket or stuffed animal that was hiding under a bed). Update the list right before your next trip.
- Pack a small diaper bag with just the necessities for diaper changes. It's hard enough changing a diaper on a cold, unfamiliar table without having sippy cups and bibs falling to the floor.
- Bring outlet plug covers, elastic bands for cabinet knobs, portable mesh baby gates, and other safety items to your destination.
- Pack carefully and beware of flying objects. Stash all your gear in the trunk, under a tarp, or tie it down. Water bottles, diaper bags, even toys can become projectiles during a crash.
- Hang a mobile or an unbreakable mirror for your child to see.
- Leave space to sit next to your child's car seat. Long trips can be boring to infants and children, so you may have to act as entertainer, puppeteer, tour guide, or reader.
- Put together a special trip bag, with a few toys, books, homemade sing-along tapes, and treats.
- Bring a variety of recorded music from the Beatles to classical music to kids' tunes.
- Don't use a portable TV with a car adapter. Sure, it works, but it's also a dangerous projectile in an accident.
- Keep napkins in your glove compartment.
- Put the sippy cups, snacks, and diapers in an easy-to-reach location in the car.
- Consider bringing your own meals in a cooler. Fast-food restaurants rarely offer balanced kids' meals with fruit and vegetables.
- Put a few lollipops with safety handles in your glove compartment.
- Keep change and tokens in a sealable container (such as a plastic spice jar) so a curious child won't decide to swallow them.
- Don't pack a case of diapers, buy them later.
- Remember, if you forget something, you can purchase it along the way or at your destination. (Unless it's the irreplaceable stuffed animal or blanket!)
On the Road
- Dress everyone in layers. Car seats, especially ones with the head rest ring, tend to be a little hotter than the rest of the car, so continually check on your baby's comfort.
- Don't have a car with air conditioning? Consider renting one for long trips during the summer.
- Use suntan lotion or sunblock, because sun shades in cars don't protect you or your child from every angle. (Children under six months should not use sunscreen.)
- Lock your doors. That way no one can get in and–if you've turned the child safety lock feature on–no one in the back seat can get out.
- If you breastfeed, purchase a lighter adapter for the breast pump, and pump in the car. That way, you won't have to stop every few hours. Plan burping and diaper changing rest stops.
- Don't let your baby sleep the entire way, unless you're traveling at night just for that reason. Keep your child on the regular schedule, from naps to feeding.
- To keep your baby awake, play peek-a-boo, point out the sights, sing silly songs, and read books together.
Rest Areas
- Before you stop, plan what needs to be accomplished: bathroom breaks, diaper changes, gas fill up, eat-in or eat-out, etc.
- Don't ignore all the safety lessons you learned from your mother. Thieves, kidnappers, and rapists travel too. Be on the lookout. If you're suspicious of another driver or vehicle, either drive away or park in another location. If you're headed back to the car after a rest stop, look around before you step into the parking lot and check the cars next to yours for suspicious looking people. Walk in a group (of strangers, if necessary) and keep your cell phone in hand. If you get into a threatening situation, do not hand over your handbag. Throw it in one direction, grab your child, and run in the other.
- Instead of a fast-food restaurant, stop at a supermarket salad bar. Usually, salad bars offer soups, salads, fruit, cottage cheese, pasta, breads, and other kid-friendly—and healthy—foods.
- Not all rest areas (if you're lucky to find one exactly when you need it!) have diaper changing tables. Instead, make do with a relatively level back seat, the back of the station wagon (if you don't need to remove everything first!), or a picnic table.
- Have some fun. Have a picnic. Bring bubbles or a ball to play with at the rest area.
7 Things to Make Your Journey Easier
- Diaper disposal bags
- Disposable paper bibs
- Disposable placemats
- Inexpensive plasticware
- Drinks and foods that aren't too messy, such as white grape juice instead of purple
- Portable mini fridge that plugs into car adapter
- Portable table chair or booster seat

Two people have been taken to a local hospital, after they were stuck in a storm drain for at least eight hours.
Tucson Fire Department Captain Barrett Baker tells Tucson News Now, the pair in their 30's voluntarily walked into the storm drain system, and apparently were not able to get out.
Someone heard the pair calling for help, and TFD crews responded Saturday morning to the area near Stone Avenue and Wetmore Road. Crews were able to cut the pair out of the drain, and bring them to safety.
According to Capt. Baker, both people were showing signs of heat-related illness.

SR Technologies Fusion Tenor Saxophone MouthpieceWith a high baffle and large throat the Fusion .115 Tenor Saxophone mouthpiece provides the superb altissimo, responsive lows required by contemporary players. Rovner ligature and cap included.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I really like my SR Tech Fusion. Mine is the size .108 and I play it with a Fibracell 2.5. on my Yanagasawa T-990 Gold Lacquer Tenor. This setup has won me many fine compliments on R&B, Blues, Rock, Fusion scenes as fellow tenormen always ask me how I get my sound. The high baffle adds the cutting crispness I need to get through that friggin' guitar on volume 10, yet the big chamber keeps the sound big and fat. Back to the Fusion...One thing I like is that this MPC stays in tune very well with little effort all the way up and down the horn and all notes speak easily. The fusion is also easy on the embouchure as it is comfortable and not too steeply sloped nor too thinly sloped. Every item in my setup that I discussed in this review I purchased from WWBW, sax, reeds, MPCs everything. THANK YOU WWBW!!!!!!
I have try Guardala Superking and studio even a Ponzol or Vandoren metal V16 many HR mouthpieces too, but this is for my opinion one of the BEST METAL ALL AROUND MOUTPIECES!!!
This piece surprised me, it's bright and powerful as you'd expect from a baffled piece but also surprisingly flexible, it leaves you a lot of room to shape your sound and does many things well. The sound isn't as overly focused as I expected, it's got some body and richness to it - a more complex sound than, say, a Dukoff. Picks up a little buzziness when pushed. Very consistent in timbre and response throughout the range (unlike an also nice Morgan I compared it with, which fattened up down low and got more focused up high; just a matter of preference). Also strikes a nice balance regarding resistance - definitely free blowing, but not as much as more extreme baffled pieces. Great for funk, blues, rock, and reggae. Probably wasn't designed with jazz specifically in mind but it could absolutely be used for that too. Works well with Rovner lig and Fibracells, ZZ's, V16's. Didn't like Superials, Baris, or Legere synthetics on it but YMMV.
TL;DR - powerful, bright, but flexible piece for players who want to be able to do a variety of things well on a single mouthpiece.
I play in a very busy function band and teach music in a public school. Like other pro's I work with, we use different mouthpieces for different purposes. The SR Fusion TF3100 works for me when playing pop, r&b and traditional jazz. Pitch center is great and the tone has a full body. Playing altissimo has never been easier. I went with a stiffer Rico Jazz reed that broke in nicely. I would recommend this for someone who wants to break into similar style of playing that has been used to playing on hard rubber all their lives. I'm playing this on a Cannonball Hot Spur and getting a huge sound.
This is an excellent mouthpiece if you need power, projection, and ease of altissimo. It is very comfortable to play as well as easy blowing. I have tried many mouthpieces, and this is probably one of the best "mass produced" mouthpieces that you will buy. I believe that every one has its own serial number on it, which means the quality control is probably very good. It plays very well with a Rico Jazz select 2 hard, at least for me; no need to use a super hard reed with this baby. I purchased the .115 opening. Check it out, I think you will like it allot!!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

On its last day, Summer packed one final, furious burst of heat for Utahns along the Wasatch Front.
Temperatures peaked at 90 degrees Saturday afternoon in Salt Lake City, tying the previous heat record for Sept. 21, set in 1944, according to the National Weather Service. Saturday's high also marked the 78th time temperatures hit 90 degrees in Salt Lake City. That puts 2013 in second place for the most days at or above 90 degrees, tied with 2007 and just behind 1961, which had 82 simmering days.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The heat comes on the last day of the hottest summer on record, which saw buckling roadways and stressed crops as a result of the weather.
Much of the state also saw intense, dry wind Saturday. The NWS reported that winds along the Wasatch Front were expected to blow at 35 mph Saturday afternoon. Gusts could reach 45 mph. A wind advisory covered much of the eastern part of Utah Saturday, including Salt Lake City. Forecasters expected the entire middle of the state to see windy conditions as well, while thunderstorms were expected along the Colorado border.
In southern Utah, forecasters expected temperatures near 90 degrees Saturday. The St. George region also is under a wind advisory Saturday, with breezes reaching 35 mph in the afternoon.
But as if a switch were being flipped for the first day of fall, forecasters expect much cooler temperatures Sunday. Along the Wasatch Front, highs will only reach the mid 60s. Wind will continue and the NWS reports a 30 percent chance of rain.
Mark Struthwolf, a NWS meteorologist, said the cold front should arrive sometime after 7 a.m. Sunday. He added that Utah should see a "pretty active pattern" of cooler fall weather, storms for the next few days.
According to the NWS, temperatures should rise during the work week, but highs will only hit the mid 70s.
In southern Utah, temperatures will drop about 10 degrees Sunday, with highs hovering in the 80s and staying in that range through the beginning of the week.
Salt Lake City's high hit 90 degrees Saturday and should hit 64 degrees Sunday; Provo looked for 83 and 66 degrees, respectively; Ogden 81 and 63; Logan 82 and 64; Wendover 80 and 65; Duchesne 76 and 64; Cedar City 77 and 65; St. George 90 and 79; Park City 73 and 56; and Moab 87 and 78 degrees.

BACKGROUND: Creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation during resistance exercise results in a greater increase in fat free mass (FFM), total body mass (TBM), and strength in young men and women. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the interactive effects of creatine supplementation and resistance training on body composition, strength, and intramuscular total creatine concentration in older men and women.
METHODS: Twenty-eight older men and women were randomly allocated, in a double blind fashion, to receive either CrM (n=14; CrM: 5g + 2g dextrose) or placebo (n=14; PL: 7g dextrose). Subjects participated in a 14 wk progressive, whole-body resistance training program. Pre-and post-training measurements included: 1 RM strength, isometric strength, body composition (TBM, FFM, %BF), muscle fiber area, and muscle total creatine and phosphocreatine.
RESULTS: Training resulted in an increase in 1 RM strength for each of the 4 exercises (range = 26 - 60%) (p < 0.001), an increase in knee and dorsiflexion isometric strength (p < 0.001) and an improvement of performance on functional tasks (p < 0.001). Knee isometric strength was increased more for CrM (46.2%) as compared to PL (22.5%) (p < 0.05). Total body mass and lean body mass increased more for CrM (TBM: +1.2 kg; LBM: +1.7 kg) as compared to PL (TBM: -0.2 kg; LBM: 0.4 kg) (p < 0.05)
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that erM supplementation results in a greater increase in isometric knee extensor strength, total body mass and lean body mass during resistance training in older adults.

It's September, which means back-to-school in the world of education, but for classical music it's a different start — that of the 2012-13 opera season. In the old days opera was a grand affair; the first night of a production meant black tie and opera cloaks. These days its far more relaxed, and you won't be frowned upon if you're wearing jeans at the Royal Opera House. Opera is loosening up and presenting itself in ways which are less daunting for the newcomer, while maintaining the high standards that keep people coming back season after season.
Two UK opera companies, who are excellent examples of this trend, are showing Oxford University Press works this season: English National Opera (ENO) and Glyndebourne Opera. English National Opera will show Vaughan Williams's The Pilgrim's Progress and will use OUP's English translation for their production of Handel's Julius Caesar. The film of Glyndebourne's award-winning 2005 production of the same Handel opera will be shown throughout the UK this autumn.
English National Opera has a strong commitment to showing the best of English Opera, and their production of The Pilgrim's Progress follows two previous stagings of Vaughan Williams's operas – the light-hearted Sir John in Love in 2006 and the tragic Riders to the Sea in 2008. The Pilgrim's Progress hasn't been fully-staged in the UK since its premiere in 1951 at the Festival of Britain, so this new production — in what feels like another festival year for the UK — will be an exciting event for November 2012. The story of the opera follows the trials and tribulations of a Pilgrim on his journey 'from this world to that which is to come.' English National Opera prides itself on its young audience profile and accessible ticket prices, and to extend the reach of the music still further, the BBC will broadcast one of the evening performances live on Radio 3.
English National Opera's policy is always to sing in English and their production of Handel's Julius Caesar, although originally composed in Italian, is no exception. The company firmly believe that removing the language barrier opens opera up for new audiences. Glyndebourne Opera takes a different approach to this issue — always singing in the original language. That they are showing the same opera, in the same season, makes a fascinating contrast. Glyndebourne will show Handel's Julius Caesar/Giulio Cesare in its original Italian, but will remove the sometimes daunting prospect of the imposing Opera House facade by showing their version on film. It will be in selected cinemas across the UK in October and November 2012. Filmed in 2005, Glyndebourne's production of Guilio Cesare is a stylish and sumptuous opera which veers between dark comedy and tragedy, all wonderfully staged in a production which drew inspiration from the British Raj and Bollywood.

Whether you prefer your opera in grand locations or your local cinema, in the original language or in translation, there's something for everyone in 2012-13.

You can get bacon and egg on the burger...that right there destroys In-N-Out.
I have a Fatburger like three blocks from and in the six years I've lived here I've been there maybe three times. All hammered @ 3am and nothing else was open.
Concur about the prices, might as well go to the Counter at that rate.
I will say that In N OUt << Fatburger. I have an In N OUt close by and the quality has gone down. Fatburger, at east the one in Redondo has always been good. I know it is not the Counter, but a burger at Fatburger is not like 9 bucks either once everything is added on
