I haven't worn stripes in a good while, I think they lend a sort of French tart look to this particular ensemble. I don't know if that's good or bad. But hey, Coco Rocha shops at Aldo too.

Saints Pick Up First Win of Season, Cantrell No. 500 at North Georgia
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia baseball team picked up its first win of the season, defeating the King College Tornado 11-9 at Bob Stein Stadium on Saturday. The win was also head coach Tom Cantrell's 500th win of his career at North Georgia and 677th of his career as a collegiate head baseball coach.
North Georgia (1-4) had the bats on their side early, plating five runs in the first inning. The scoring started when Brett Wright singled into center field, scoring Edwin Arias. Tremayne Toorie added to the scoring, plating Devin Gearhart.
Eason Spivey proceeded to double to left, bringing in Toorie and Gearhart. Spivey would then score on a Derek Hooper single just before the end of the inning.
After another perfect inning by Jacob Beauchamp on the mound, the Saints would plate Jesse Strickland and Jake McCurry on an Arias single to center field in the second.
The third inning saw another perfect inning from Beauchamp and another Saints run, this time by Wright scoring on a Hooper sacrifice fly to make the score 8-0.
Things got shaky in the fourth for North Georgia as King College (3-2) plated eight runs on four hits and three homeruns, including a grand slam.
North Georgia would respond in the bottom half of the inning, scoring three runs on two hits. The Saints scored John LaMay, Arias and Strickland to increase the lead to 11-8.
King College scored one more run but it was not enough to overcome the early deficit as the Saints cruised to the victory.
Arias led the Saints, going 3-4 at the plate with two RBIs and two runs scored.
Jacob Beauchamp got a no-decision for the game, allowing Clint Spratlin to pick up his first win of the season. John LaMay also picked up his first save of the season. Alex Gonzalez (1-1) was credited with the loss for the Tornado.
The deciding game of the three-game set will be tomorrow, Feb. 10. First pitch is slated for noon. Live stats will not be available for the game, but Twitter updates will be available @SaintsSports throughout the game.

Hey Cype - I meant to ask you this before, but can I post these up in the main part of the site? I'm going to start putting up new content starting December and these are would be pretty interesting for people to see, imo.
Oh whoops. I should check this more often. Yeah, I have no problems with that.
Cool thanks! I'll probably post them up around the week of the 17th more or less.
Btw, can I put together an article explaining the process of your work (or more like a general how to follow process shots)? It's something along the lines of "start with a base or a quick sketch, build upon that by slowly adding in details, etc etc".
lots of links on the ones I wanted to see are broken( gundam shots)
Rio posted those on the main site so you can see them there.

This is good, I like it. Each character has a distinct style to their dialogue and it flows well.
One little thing - Bakkar repeats the phrase 'you need anything' in the final scene - a minor issue, but it might look weird on the actual page depending on the typesetting.
Anyway, this is rather good - my advice is to keep it going =)

Kawasaki has revived a dead class of motorcycle – the cheap and cheerful trail bike. Soft power, a novice friendly chassis and low running costs are completely at odds with the hardcore enduro styling. It's as happy getting back and forth to work every day as it lolloping along green lanes.
125cc, 22bhp, 82mph, Insurance group 7
Apart from the tinny two-stroke noise coming out the back of the SX125 and RX125 the new learner strokers could pass for a bigger supermoto. But get on board and you'll find that the power and handling simply doesn't match up to the looks.

The Suzuki RV125 VanVan is an enigmatic motorcycle, that's for sure. Farm hands, gamekeepers, race teams and surf dudes would be the ideal customers: it's perfect for whizzing around country estates, race paddocks and beaches. Fashion-conscious, retro fans must love Suzuki RV125 VanVans. Teenagers, probably, don't. Who knows? But it's still pretty cute: better than a quad or a scooter, ...
647cc, 79bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 9
If the budget 600cc class is your thing then the Hyosung GT650 Comet is worth considering, but as it costs about £4000, it's not as cheap as you might expect. On paper the Hyosung GT650 Comet has more power than the Suzuki SV650, but in reality, it's still a little bit crude and outdate, compared to the later SV650 or ...
656cc, 77bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 11
A well-mannered middleweight that's simple to use, cheap to buy and cheap to run. The Suzuki GSF650 Bandit doesn't particularly excel in any one department, but for newer riders it's worth considering with a low seat height and forgiving manners. The GSF650 Bandit's capacity advantage over its older GSF600 Bandit sibling doesn't actually translate into significantly more go.

Verburg, Stites Earn T&F All-America Accolades
EUGENE, Ore. – George Mason senior David Verburg and William & Mary freshman Emily Stites each earned All-America honors on Friday at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Verburg finished fourth in the finals of the 400m dash. Setting a personal record, Verburg crossed the line neck-and-neck with Florida's Arman Hall, finishing in 45.03, just 0.01 seconds behind Hall. The time was the second-fastest in the event all-time at Mason.
Verburg concludes an outstanding career at Mason as a four-time CAA champion in the 400m in addition to several IC4A championships and All-America accolades. He was named the CAA Rookie of the Year in 2010, and last season was tabbed the CAA Male Track Athlete of the Meet (Championships), CAA Male Athlete of the Year, USTFCCCA Southeast Region Male Athlete of the Year in addition to participating in the Olympic trials.
Stites became the first true freshman in any Division I sport at William and Mary to earn All-America honors on two occasions in a season, earning her second distinction in the 5,000m. She finished 10th in a time of 16:08.89 to earn Second-Team All-America honors from the USTFCCCA.
In position to earn first-team honors and team points at seventh with just 1,000m to go, Stites was tripped up from behind and fell dropping to 11th place. She bounced back to claim 10th in the race, good for Second-Team All-America honors. Despite the fall, Stites ran the sixth fastest time in school history and second fastest this season behind only her 15:45.31 in April at the Mt. SAC Relays. The top eight perfromers in each event at the NCAA Championships earn team points and garner First-Team All-America accolades.
Stites was one of just two freshmen competing in the 5,000m at the NCAA Championships and was the top rookie finisher. Along with her All-America honors on the track Friday night, Stites was an All-American in cross country, finishing 26th at 2012 NCAA Cross Country Championships. She also won the USAT&F Cross Country Junior Championship in February, before captaining the U.S. squad at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships and finishing 23rd at the event.
Coupled with junior Elaina Balouris earning Second-Team All-America honors with a 10th-place performance in the 10,000m on Wednesday night, the Tribe produced two women's track and field All-Americans for the third time overall and the first since 1994.
In Thursday's action, the George Mason women's 4X400m relay team finished 12th overall in the semifinals, while the men's 4X400 relay team placed 24th.
Northeastern's Eric Jenkins races on Saturday in the 5,000 meters.

Auburn, a team which went 3-9 — and 0-8 in the SEC — last season, was picked to finish fifth in the Western Division at SEC Media Days in July. Missouri, coming off its first sub-.500 season since 2004, was pegged to do even worse, as writers selected to end up sixth in the SEC East.
Yet here they both the Tiger-named squads are now, one game away from an conference title, and with some help, a possible shot at a national championship.
How did each reverse course so quickly?
For Auburn, it took a coaching change, letting go of Gene Chizik, the coach at the helm of the program when it won the national title in 2010. But the Tigers didn't look far for his replacement, bringing back one of Chizik's former assistants in Gus Malzahn. Auburn's offensive coordinator from 2009-11, Malzahn led Arkansas State to a 9-3 record and a Sun Belt Conference championship in 2012, his only season in charge of the Red Wolves.
Coming off a one-year hiatus from Auburn, Malzahn didn't deny that much of this season's success was due in part to the familiarity he already had with the team.
"I recruited some of the players, had relationships with some of the players," he said. "I kind of knew the dynamics, the administration, the fan base, all the things with that. That really helped me. At the same time they'd been through a storm. So our new staff, we had to earn our players' trust."
Malzahn knew the Tigers had talent, even if their 2012 record didn't reflect it.
Even so, he refused to set any goals based solely around victories.
"We really were just focusing on us, getting our edge back, playing good Auburn football," Malzahn said. "We didn't have any expectations as far as numbers of wins and all that. It was just real simple: Let's get our edge back, let's play together, let's improve each week."
That mirrored Gary Pinkel's expectations. Missouri's coach vows that the team taking the field Saturday is vastly different than one that started the season in late August. There's no secret formula to Missouri's turnaround; Pinkel said this year, Missouri has avoided the injury big that bit them so hard in 2012.
One player wasn't able to make it through the season unscathed, though. Starting quarterback James Franklin missed four games after injuring his shoulder against Georgia in mid-October. It was a familiar refrain, as Franklin dealt with various ailments last season, too.
The difference this year is that Missouri had a reliable backup to turn to in Maty Mauk.
"I think everybody knows at this level, when you lose a starting quarterback who is having a great year, then all of a sudden you have to put a redshirt freshman in there who hasn't played very much, (it's tough)," Pinkel said. "For him to play a third of the — finished up against Georgia, then played four games himself — he did a phenomenal job. We're very fortunate to have a player play at that level."
Aside from owning Tiger mascots and each having incredible bounce back seasons, Malzahn noticed one more subtle similarity that the two teams playing in the Georgia Dome on Saturday share.
"I (just) think about both teams being very hungry," he said. "We're (both) kind of down at the bottom to start the year and have improved."

Addressing alcohol-related harm in South Africa
At SAB we're always looking for new ways to tackle the alcohol-related issues that most affect society - underage drinking being one example.
This year we piloted two new programmes designed to reach deeper into our communities. Through our Responsible Trader Programme, we've trained 17,000 traders in alcohol abuse and the harm it can cause in their communities. Through the programme we aim to help liquor traders to see themselves as champions in the fight against alcohol abuse. Assessments of more than 7,000 traders after they'd attended training sessions found 81% scoring more than 80%.

I have a few general rules when it comes to building a team in a fantasy hockey keeper league. One of the more important ones is to not plan beyond a two or three year window. You are not building a real NHL club, and too often poolies place an emphasis on youth and prospects over proven veterans. So using my general rule, take a look at your team(s). Can you realistically say you will have a shot at winning the league at some point within the next two or three seasons? If not, time to scrap the rebuild and start adding proven NHL talent.
I have compiled a list of the top 10 keeper league goalies to own (assuming standard keeper league rules and scoring categories). Using the two or three season scope, I had to balance proven production with young goaltenders on the verge of breaking out.
The goaltending position is far and away the toughest to predict in terms of development, which is why this list has more veterans than any of my other previous lists. It is too risky to rely on a young goalie compared to a young forward or defenseman. Additionally, many goalies can play at an elite level well into their late 30's and early 40's, unlike most forwards and defensemen. How the list works – since it is "in order," my point is that I wouldn't trade the second ranked goalie for the third ranked goalie in a standard, non-salary cap keeper league pool.
I also included where each of my picks ranks on Dobber's Top 50 Goaltenders list. Don't forget that his list accounts for playoff wins and trade carry-overs. Read his full criteria by clicking the link above. I'd consider the top four goalies below to be the top tier right now. The second tier of goalies (those from five to 10, the honorable mentions, and a handful of others) is quite large.
Standard keeper league goaltending categories:
- Wins
- Shutouts
My draft recommendation would be to grab one of the top four, and then target one or two you like in the second tier, but don't draft them early. Even if there is a crazy run on goaltenders, they seem to be enough surprises and dark horses season to cover for leaving a draft with only one legitimate starting goaltender.
My 2010 Top 10 Goaltenders List
My 2011 Top 10 Goaltenders List
Dobber Rank: 1
The king still reigns supreme. The gap between Lundqvist and the rest of the goaltenders in the NHL (from a fantasy perspective, at least) continues to grow. The Rangers have a slew of talented young defensemen who excel at preventing goals, led by Dan Girardi, Marc Staal, and future Norris Trophy winner Ryan McDonagh.
Lundqvist is consistently elite, and he plays a lot. Since 2008-09. Lundqvist's GAA has dropped each year, from 2.43, to 2.38, to 2.28, to 1.97. Not surprisingly, his SV % has correspondingly increased, from .916, to .921, to .923, to .930. He doesn't play 70+ games any more, as the Rangers have a capable backup in Martin Biron. However, a fresher Lundqvist means better numbers. Poolies will gladly take that trade off.
Dobber Rank: 3
The Los Angeles Kings absolutely dominated the rest of the league during their 2012 postseason run. Quick was extended for another 10 years a few weeks ago, and the Kings will return the exact same Stanley Cup-winning team for 2012-13. Quick is extremely athletic and he has perfected his playing style. He is a lot of fun to watch, as he doesn't play like a prototypical butterfly goaltender. The Kings have a foundation in place to be among the NHL's elite for Quick's best years as a goalie. The statistics used in standard keeper leagues for goaltenders are a strong reflection of the team that the goaltender plays behind, and Quick will benefit from playing behind a very good team.
Like Lundqvist, Quick's numbers have improved significantly in recent years. He doesn't even turn 27 until next January.
His fantasy value in recent years was hurt a bit by the presence of top prospect Jonathan Bernier behind him. Quick owners don't have to worry about Bernier stealing the starting gig any more.
3. Carey Price
Dobber Rank: 7
I'll cut to the chase – I am very high on Price. I think his combination of skill and mental toughness is very rare, and he is destined to become one of the elite goaltenders in the league. The crux – owners may have to wait a year or two to reap the fantasy benefits. The Habs have a solid group of players, but they aren't ready to contend with the top teams in the Eastern Conference yet. As we all know, a goaltender's fantasy value is very indicative of the quality of team playing in front of him.
Price is a special player and I would draft him over any goaltender not named Quick or Lundqvist and feel comfortable with my decision.
4. Pekka Rinne
Dobber Rank: 2
If Ryan Suter had re-signed in Nashville, Rinne would likely be number two or three on this list. Factor in the uncertainty over Shea Weber's future, and Rinne could slide down the list even further. It isn't totally fair to tie his fantasy value completely to two defensemen, but Weber and Suter were the backbone, the heart, and the engine that drove the Nashville Predators. All of their other defensemen struggled at pushing the play in a positive direction last season. Rinne will play a lot of games for the foreseeable future, but his stats may be in for a decline as he won't have the league's best defensive pairing in front of him for 30 minutes a night any longer.
5. Ryan Miller
Dobber Rank: 9
2011-12 was a forgettable one for Miller. His play was as uninspired as his teammates were after he was run by Milan Lucic back in November of 2011. Only two years ago, Miller was arguably the class of the NHL. He had led the underdog USA to a Silver Medal finish at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and he was backstopping the Sabres with elite goaltending each and every night. Miller's slide is a great example of the year-to-year fluctuations in goaltending. He's still very good, but his reputation has taken a bit of a hit. There were even some rumors last season (likely unfounded) that the Sabres were shopping him.
His numbers in the past two seasons have been almost identical - .916 SV % each year, a GAA of 2.59 and 2.54, respectively, and 34 and 31 wins. His backup, Jhonas Enroth, has visions of being an NHL starter. It won't be in Buffalo (unless Miller is injured or traded), but he will make sure that Miller doesn't play close to 70 games again.
6. Tuukka Rask
Dobber Rank: 11
The only thing that was holding Rask back from being regarded as one of the best in the league was opportunity. Thanks to some interesting decisions from Tim Thomas, that is no longer a problem. Rask is now "the guy" for the Boston Bruins, who will once again ice a formidable roster in 2012-13. The 25-year-old is ready for full time duties after earning his chops for the past three seasons behind Thomas. Rask post sparkling numbers in 23 games last year, finishing with a 2.05 GAA and a .929 SV%. Some may consider it a risk to rank an unproven goaltender so high, but I have no doubts that Rask is ready for the challenge.
7. Ilya Bryzgalov
Dobber Rank: 12
Bryzgalov may have felt that the net behind him was as big as the universe at times last season. The Flyers, hell-bent on finally fixing their ever-present goaltending issues, made Bryzgalov a very rich man last summer. In 59 starts, Bryzgalov won 33 games. 59 starts was his lowest total since the 2007-08 season in Phoenix. His inconsistent play was frustrating to poolies and Flyers fans, but he has proven in recent years that he is one of the most durable and consistent goaltenders in the league.
His quirky off-ice personality was put under the national spotlight thanks to HBO's 24/7 production. The Flyers could care less how odd he is, as long as he can rebound from an up-and-down 2011-12 campaign. Bryzgalov spoke to Puck Daddy's Dmitry Chesnokov, and shared his thoughts on year one in Philadelphia.
"We have an excellent team. All the guys are good, the management is great. But there is a lot of negativity surrounding the team. You did everything you could on the ice. You go to the locker room and someone yells some nonsense at your back. They're ready to eat you alive. It's unpleasant, because we are all people. You should understand that I am not speaking out against the fans. Philadelphia has great fans, they are the majority. They are always with the team in difficult times. Even after a mistake they say words of support. But who didn't make mistakes in this world?"
8. Marc-Andre Fleury
Dobber Rank: 4
Fleury's meltdown in the first round against the Flyers was one of the worst in recent memory. Like Bryzgalov, Fleury has proven in recent years to be very durable and one of the best starting goaltenders in the league. It will take more than one awful stretch of hockey for me to change my opinion on him. Fleury won a career high 42 games in 2011-12, and the Penguins have their top players all locked up for a long time.
He probably won't start close to 70 games again, as Pittsburgh brought in Tomas Vokoun to both provide Fleury some relief as well as push him to bring his best every night. There is a small chance that Vokoun gets on a hot streak and steals the starting gig, but rebounding from struggles is nothing new for Fleury. I'd expect him back in top form for 2012-13.
Dobber Rank: 16
It is only a matter of time until the Canucks trade Roberto Luongo. Florida is the most likely destination, with Toronto and Chicago also potentially in the mix. People may think that Canucks fans ran Luongo out of town, but that couldn't be further from the truth. What happened was a younger goalie came in and simply stole his starting gig. Like Rask in Boston, the only thing holding Schneider back from being one of the best goaltenders in the game was opportunity. That won't be a problem anymore.
Schneider was given some tough starts last year, and he responded with stellar play. In 33 appearances, he had a GAA of 1.96 and a SV% of .936. He has earned this opportunity – Schneider's patience and professionalism should be admired. Instead of asking for a trade or for more ice time, he honed his craft behind one of the game's best goalies. The chance to start in the NHL has been a long time coming – it has been over eight years since the Canucks drafted Schneider.
10. Roberto Luongo
Dobber Rank: 10
It may seem foolish to rank Luongo on this list without even knowing where he will be playing next season. However, as mentioned numerous times above, consistency and durability are two very important qualities in fantasy goaltenders. If Luongo ends up in Toronto, he instantly makes the Leafs a playoff club. He takes Florida up a few levels, too. His time in Vancouver was filled with ups and downs, but he leaves as arguably the greatest athlete to ever play in the city. An Olympic Gold, a Hart and Vezina finalist, franchise records in nearly every single goaltending statistic, and taking the team to within a game of the Stanley Cup (although his effect on the Boston series could be debated). Luongo played in only 55 games last season, due in large part to the emergence of Schneider.
Whoever acquires him will be getting an elite NHL goaltender with at least three high-level seasons left in him.
Honourable Mentions:
Jaroslav Halak – his value could rise if Brian Elliott can't repeat his performance of 2011-12.
Cam Ward – a very durable goaltender who struggled with consistency last year. He will benefit from an improved Carolina roster.
Kari Lehtonen – talent-wise, Lehtonen is a top 10 goalie. The Stars aren't going to win enough for him to be ranked among the game's best, though.
Jimmy Howard – it must be said – how will the Red Wings handle life after Lidstrom?

Fleury's season ended in such an awful fashion that if he hadn't won a Stanley Cup a few years ago, he would have been run out of town. Between his last few games of the regular season, which cost the Pens the President's Trophy and his awful playoff series, which cost the Pens a playoff run in an Eastern Conference that was right there for the taking, Fleuy was 3-7 with about an .800 save percentage and GAA approaching 5. Roy was run out of Montreal for less and Luongo is being run out of Vancouver for less.

I know he only did it for one year, but not having Mike Smith at least as an Honorable Mention is a huge flaw for your list.

I really enjoyed the article and as always, people have different opinions, especially with goalies. In the 2010 goalie list you said "MAF - I simply don't think he's a top 10 goalie. Incredibly inconsistent. Wins games but doesn't do much else" Now you say "one of the best starting goaltenders in the league"
Since then he has posted a 905, 918 and 913 sv % in the regular season and a below 900 sv % in the playoffs. With the Penguins getting worse defensively and a stronger back up goalie who could steal a lot of starts. Why do you feel he is now a top 10 goalie, is it simply because he is on PIT?
I was a big fan of his, but I feel now that he is GREATLY over-rated, he makes some flashy saves, but lets in A LOT of soft goals. His stats are generally below avg (GAA and SV %, Wins are good I'll admit) but what exactly makes him "one of the best starting goaltenders in the league"?

The top goalie in our league was bought for $38. Lundqvist was $33 and Fleury $12. There value increases by $5, so my original thought was to keep Fleury and bid for Lundy (at least $40). From reading this article, it is sounding like Lundy might be the best option and try either bidding low on Fleury or maybe go after someone else on this list.
The guys in my league aren't too educated, but they do over bid on players (Rinne $38 and Bryzgalov $38)
Aaron27 said:
42 wins (2nd most)
2.36 GAA (11th best - or 6th best of goalies who started 50 games or more)
.913 Sv% and only 3 shutouts is pretty weak though
Not saying he was the most valuable goalie, just not 'terrible', and he's on a team that should be fairly dominant for a long time, and he's signed for 3 more seasons (with no super-stud prospects in the lurch), so is in a pretty rock solid position.
Love the list, very close to mine except I personally would have Fleury 5th ahead of Miller. Given his poor sv% (career and last season) though, I can understand him being slightly lower.

What can I say. I am nearly 60 years old with long curly hair that has a tendency to frizz, and with ill health, often looks like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards!! I have tried loads of and conditioner but THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS WORKED!!! My hair springs into natural curls and is beautifully soft. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAS MY HAIR FELT THIS GOOD. Excellent value for money even with paying postage to the UK. A little goes a long, long way. (Same review for the conditioner).
Good Stuff

I use this conditioner about once a week, alternating with others purchased from IHerb. This one really moisturizes and makes my hair silky, so using it daily weighs my oily hair down. It does exactly what it says in one treatment! Oily hair users just use it about once a week for damage repair.
Wonderful! A difference that you can see.

I am very picky about what I use on my hair. I have very thick, long, fine hair that is curly. I can never comb my hair with a traditional brush or comb once it is dry or it turns into a frizzy mess. I have used this product and the conditioner for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. My hair is shiny and much more manageable. I love the highlights that I am now seeing. When you use this, do not expect it to act like a traditional store product with chemicals. It does suds, especially on the second application, but probably not as much as you are used to. The conditioner feels much different than traditional conditioners. Don't let the differences fool you. These products are natural and extremely nourishing. They are not like the chemically saturated gook that you buy at the store. There is also not that artificially perfumed odor that others put in, but I could care less when it does such wonderful things for my hair. If I want my hair to smell like a flower I will spray some perfumed body mist on it :)
Really works!

Registering Your License: Why, How and What?
Why? Registering your product license to a Propellerhead user account is a very good idea. Firstly, it means that your license number is stored in a safe place where you'll always be able to access it. You need your license number to use your software; if you don't know your license number, then you'll not be able to use the software.
If that's not reason enough to register, then consider that we only offer product support for registered owners. If you've registered your license to your account, then you'll be able to access the online tech support form. From there, your query is dispatched to the person who's best suited - and in the right part of the world - to answer your question as quickly as possible.
If you're still on the fence - "I'll never lose my license number, and I can read a manual" - then there might yet be another reason to register your license.
One word: "upgrades".
Our upgrades do not come with license numbers. They come with a code that you'll need to use to register your upgrade to your user account to obtain your license number. In order to be able to do this, your existing license must be already registered to your account.
Don't put it off - register your license now! I'd be lying if I said that it will save lives, but it will save you sending an angry mail to Customer Care in the future.
Further benefits of registering your license include access to the user forums and the option to upload your Reason song files for other users.
How? Registering is a quick and painless procedure, although the exact method can vary depending on exactly which product it is that you'd like to register. Nearly all Propellerhead products come with an authorisation card. The exception to this is an upgrade purchased in the Prop Shop. If you've bought one of these, your upgrade will have been registered automatically when you bought it. You're sorted. You can stop reading now and go back to work - that song isn't going to write itself.
For the rest of you, your authorisation card will have at the very least a registration code (or verification code) printed on it. All registrations require one of these. This is a 16 character alphanumeric code that looks something like this:
If you're registering a full version of a product, you'll have been given a license number together with your registration code. If you're registering an upgrade, you'll have been issued a six digit upgrade ID - 123456. Your license number or upgrade ID will also be printed on the authorisation card.
To register your license, log in to your account, and select the appropriate product from the "REGISTER OR UPGRADE" box to the right. At this point, just pick the product you have, regardless of whether it's a new registration or an upgrade to an existing license.
Selecting a product will take you to a new page where you'll be able to enter the specifics of what it is that you're registering; the version of the software, and whether it's a new version or an upgrade.
Once you've specified what it is that you're registering, you'll be prompted for your license number or upgrade ID and your registration or verification code as appropriate.
And that's it. Your new license number is now registered to your account, and an email containing that license number will be sent out to the email address registered to your user account. You can always see any of your license numbers at any time if you log in to your account and click the "Your Products" link.
If you have a copy of Reason Adapted, you can find details of how to register your license and obtain your license number by following one of the links below:
Reason Adapted version 4 for PreSonus
Reason Adapted version 4 for Line 6
Reason Adapted version 4 for Synergy
Reason Adapted version 4 for Luthman
What? There aren't very many things that can go wrong when registering a license number, but if you do see an "Oooops!" message, there will also be a reason given.
The most likely thing that can happen is that the license number you're trying to register has already been registered to a user account. The same license number cannot be registered twice. Have you already registered this license to this account, or to another account that you've forgotten about, perhaps?
Or have you purchased the software second hand, in which case it might still be registered to the previous owner. In either case, drop us a line a Customer Care - we can find out for you where this license is registered, and what can be done to transfer it to your account.
Another frequent cause of the "Oooops!" message is trying to register an upgrade to an account that does not have a license to be upgraded registered to it. You can see how this won't work.
Alternatively, you might have a license registered, but you have the wrong type of upgrade for your existing license, for example, you're trying to upgrade a standard retail license with an Educational license, or a five user license with a 10 user upgrade. Or you have a Reason Adapted license registered to your account, and you're trying to register a Reason upgrade.
Again, get in touch with Customer Care, and we'll look into it for you.

Go to: Republicans insane; want to establish theocracy
Comment 18 by mysticjbyrd :
Comment 14 by 78rpm :
Finally heard from another American who is pulled in two directions like me (Comment 11 by Free2011). I'm a Republican too, and I don't know how the hell to vote this time around, with the Republican party taken over by theocrats. I'm almost ready to defect....
I don't know how any one could call themselves a Republican after their racist party has intentionally tried to sabotage the country just to insure they get elected in 2012. And anyone with an IQ above a typewriter could see that fact plain as day. The current Republican party is a cancer within the US.
And I am not a Democrat.
I am, and I just want to offer that aligning yourself with a political party needn't mean that you support everything that even most of it does.
Republican candidates are notoriously more openly religious, yet there are plenty of atheists (here, even) that vote Republican.
Democrats are largely opposed to nuclear power and prone to using 'tolerance' as a euphemism for 'condescending ignorance', whilst I'd like to think this doesn't apply to me.
I've met a lot of Republicans this year that are dumbfounded by the 2012 candidates and feeling very divorced from their party.
You get the idea.

Go to: Do atheists need their own bible?
Comment 12 by Scruddy Bleensaver
There are two types of people in the world, (no not religious and non-religious), those who need 'guidance', and those who don't.
I think you hit on something there that I couldn't understand earlier in life. I went to church once for (the first time in my life) to please a religious girlfriend. Bored stiff by the tedium and the saccharine flavour of it all, I asked several people afterward why on earth they wanted to waste a perfectly good, free Sunday morning like that, especially since there's no mention of church-going in the Bible that I was aware of. "So that we can be good", "For moral lessons", and variations of same where the responses, from people who were astonished that I would ask such a dumb question.
I couldn't relate to it then, and I still can't today. Why would any adult human being need to be schooled in morality or need role models? Don't we all operate on a version of the Golden Rule, which predates Jesus by centuries?
It suggests a lack of innate empathy, doesn't it? Which, of course, almost certainly can't be true. They can't all be psychopaths. So it must be that they simply refuse to accept that their empathy is innate, for whatever reason. More than slightly beyond my understanding.

I had no idea that we didn't already know the neurobiological basis for general anesthesia. I feel like such a pioneer, now!
Also, my one experience under GA wasn't what I'd describe as flipping a switch on and off. I seemed conscious, merely numb and very delirious. Distorted images of doctors circling around me, a floating sensation... it was rather like a high fever, for me, without the pain.
Although my subjective experience of this was about two minutes long, and the surgery took 44, so I suppose that the experience was either the process of me going under and waking up stringed together, or that is one hell of a contraction of subjective time.

Comment 3 by Michael Austin :
I know that I've read in more than one of Dawkins' books (currently reading that exact passage in 'River out of Eden' ) that genes do not learn from behavior of their bodies. Has that been overturned now?
Yes and no. Not from the behavior of the body, but from certain common stresses on the cell that don't necessarily fall into the usual deadly ruleset of natural selection.
The way I understand it, epigenetic methylation can create a thick heterochromatin that renders a gene inaccessible to transcription factors so that it isn't expressed in the cell. The underlying DNA remains unchanged in a more classical sense, i.e. the gene is intact and in a state that would otherwise be active, yet it is masked, or 'silenced,' and this is clonally inherited.

But if Hitchens, who knows that his cancer of the oesophagus will probably be fatal, is preparing to meet his maker, it was not apparent. Not that anyone would expect anything else from one of the world's most prominent atheists. "Religion is a real danger to the survival of civilisation… it will be the death of us all, the end of humanity," he declared.
The words following the ellipsis were not a declaration of his, but a reminder of what the Abrahamic religions declare of themselves.

One has to wonder where all these calls for sanity were during the previous administration, the head of which did not ban people from the country for insulting him. Just sayin'.
Do you really think that the President had any kind of personal hand in this? It's more likely that he never read the thing.
I don't see what you mean by 'for insulting him.' We have no idea what was said in the e-mail. Looking at more than that ABC article, the FBI simply claims it was threatening and Angel himself claims he doesn't remember. The fact that the screeners work through plenty of 'insulting' e-mails every day suggests that there was quite a lot more to this. If he was as fucked out of his mind as he claims, it's pretty easy to imagine how unstable it probably seemed.

It was also encouraging to hear of Francis Collins spending personal time with CH and his family. One thing I think can be assured is that Hitch will have the cream of the medical profession assisting his current predicament. I think it also worth noting the number of his 'opponents' currently stating their admiration for his stoicism and indeed for the man himself, long may he continue.
A cold, ironic encouragement if there ever was one, considering what Francis Collins' NIH has recently done to stem cell research.

I normally have something, however tiny and trivial, to disagree with Sam on, but this is 100% brilliant, in my mind.
It was also uploaded to YouTube less than a minute after I wondered to myself where he's been. Clearly, the universe bends to my will. Saerain 2012.

Go to: Did Cooking Make Us Human?
I have no salary. My girlfriend of nine years does (as a cook). We both have a BMI of 18. My observations throughout my area (Western Massachusetts) haven't found many conflicting partnerships. In fact, if anything, I find more thin women (usually artsy) with thin geeky men than fat women.
I find the fat women with the fat men, and that the fat men tend to prefer fat women anyway.
I'd say that it appears to me that we seek out body types similar to our own (or similar to our ideal self if we were of our preferred sex), much like we seek those who think similarly.
