It seems like such a long time ago that the two worst teams in the NFC East squared off in Landover, Md., in a game that ended on an Alex Barron holding penalty.
We thought the play might live in infamy for the Dallas Cowboys, but it's only another sad footnote in a pitiful season that has become slightly tolerable because of the work of interim coach Jason Garrett.
Some of us thought the Washington Redskins' season-opening win over the Cowboys might mean something. But we now know the Skins were in such a state of disrepair that not even Mike Shanahan could save this thing. In fact, the Redskins don't seem to be in much better shape than when they brought in a man from a bingo parlor to call plays last season.
Sunday will feature two of the most dysfunctional franchises in the league. The Cowboys certainly have more talent than the Redskins, which makes their 4-9 record all the more embarrassing. It's sad that a team has to win this game Sunday, although there's always the threat of a scoreless tie.
The Redskins are led by a man who has serious skins on the wall, and the Cowboys are led by a man who owns a Princeton degree. You'd have to call Garrett a failure in Dallas as an offensive coordinator. His greatest moments, which came in 2007, were aided by the presence of Tony Sparano, who wasn't truly appreciated by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones until he led a remarkable turnaround as head coach in Miami in '08.
Shanahan appeared to be a made man with the Redskins just because he was powerful enough to keep meddling owner Dan Snyder in the shadows. Shanahan's first mistake was getting into a feud with a defensive tackle who didn't give a damn. The head coach made such a production of showing who was boss that he almost pulled off the impossible feat of making Albert Haynesworth seem sympathetic. Shanahan tried to make an example out of the petulant Haynesworth, but all he did was fuel the controversy.
But as if that situation weren't enough, Shanahan benched starting quarterback Donovan McNabb with the game still hanging in the balance against the Detroit Lions. In the aftermath of that benching, Shanahan and his son/offensive coordinator, Kyle, embarrassed themselves by presenting a menu of explanations. Two weeks later, the organization signed McNabb to a long-term contract extension that appeared to make him one of the richest men in football history before ESPN Insider Adam Schefter suggested otherwise the next afternoon.
Garrett doesn't have Shanahan's pedigree, but you could argue that he's done a better head-coaching job this season. He's convinced players to actually show a little pride in what they're doing, and he's led the Cowboys to a 3-2 record since his take over.
Of these two dysfunctional franchises, I think the Cowboys are in better position. The Redskins don't know who their quarterback will be next season, despite what McNabb's contract says. He's actually on pace to set the Redskins' record for passing yards in a season, despite the Skins' No. 28 ranking in points scored. Jay Schroeder's magical '86 season in which he threw for 4,109 yards is there for the taking.
I think Garrett has already won the job in Dallas, but wins over the Skins and Cardinals would cement the deal. That's why this isn't a "meaningless" game for the two hapless teams. If the Cowboys somehow run the table and finish 7-9, perhaps it will be seen as a good thing in some circles.
But in a lot of ways, it would just be a reminder of what could've been. Jones has a lot to think about over the next few weeks. Did he wildly overestimate this team's talent or did his players underachieve in epic fashion?
For the record, I have the Cowboys winning the Dysfunctional Bowl, 31-14. I just wish I could be there to see it. For some odd reason, ESPN.com has me attending a game that actually makes a difference.

text: Posted October 31, 2013 I have no problem in Hendo being the guy to sit either... at least MKG still gives us the allusion that he can improve b/c he's so young. Hendo, on the other hand, does not. My point was Jeff provides much more offensively than either of them, and that's what we need. Jeff also has shown the propensity to play the passing lanes extremely well. I was just frustrated with the loss and MKG's struggles from the field and the FT line were an easy target. I didn't want to pick him when we did, but I grew to trust the pick and to believe he would grow into a Scottie Pippen-type player... but, he is so far from that right now, it's pathetic. IMO MKG has a problem that I deal with. Now before anyone tries to act like I'm calling myself MKG I'm def not. But anyways when I would play I would always be hesitant. I got great dribble moves but only when I'm not nervous or anxious. Same thing goes with my shot. That's exactly looks like whats up with MKG. He doesn't have any confidence is dribble and shot. U can tell when he gets it passed off to him... dribbles one step and immediately passes. He's so eager to get rid of the ball. I knew coming out of college he had anxiety issues with speech and what not. Idk if this correlates with his play but it's like he's nervous or just dosent trust himself at all. Now with Hendo I'm just aggravated. He is not the answer. He just isn't. He will be a good bench guy when we trade or draft for his replacement. That's all I got to say about him 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read an Excerpt
I'm sitting down, tied to a chair, when the deafening sound of a gun going off close range hits me. Searing pain follows.
I wake up to my 6:00 a.m. alarm and automatically reach for my notebook. I don't remember dreaming or waking last night, but sometimes when I dream I have no recollection the next morning, so I always check the dream diary on my bedside table. This morning I see the words Someone shot scrawled across the page. Someone shot…not exactly my most illuminating dream. It doesn't sound like any of my current cases—at the moment I'm profiling a series of rapes in The Valley and the homicide of a young boy who was beaten to death in a video-game arcade. No bullets, no gunshot wounds. So far the dream diary I started a month ago hasn't given me much, but I wanted to start recording as many of my dreams as possible… given some of them come true.
Half an hour later I jump on the gym scales and the digital readout levels off at 136.4. I smile, but while I am happy with my weight from an aesthetic point of view, for me it's about a lot more than getting into a size-eight dress or looking good in lingerie for my man. Besides, it's been a while since anyone's seen me in lingerie—a fact that I'm happy about most of the time. No, it's about health for me. I know firsthand that fitness can be the difference between life and death and I don't want to haul more than a hundred and forty-five pounds in a chase.
The Bureau used to test field agents every year, making sure they fell within a set weight range and that they could pass a physical, including fitness tests…until the 1990s, when a judge found in favor of a discrimination lawsuit. However, I agree with the Bureau's original stance, and so I plan to test myself every year, using the Bureau's physical requirements for its new recruits—the only time agents now need to meet the weight requirements and prove their physical fitness.
I've asked Mercedes Diaz, one of the L.A. field office's IT resources and my workout partner, to help put me through my paces. Diaz is five-six and all lean muscle, accentuated by a natural olive skin tone—no fake tan required. While her job may be tied to a computer, she makes up for her sedentary nine-to-five routine with lots of exercise. Our shared obsession has made us friends—we kept running into each other at the gym and eventually planned our workouts together. I hardly use my apartment's gym anymore, opting for the better facilities at FitnessOne, only a block away from the office. This morning it's busy as usual, but everybody starts a new fitness regime on a Monday, right?
Mercedes hovers over the mat I'm lying on. "This will be a breeze for you, Sophie."
"Hopefully," I say, even though I know I'm incredibly fit at the moment. FBI recruits need twelve points across a series of tests to pass, and members of the Bureau's elite Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) need twenty. I want to push myself and make twenty.
"Yep." I lie on the mat, hands behind my head and elbows back.
Mercedes brings up her stopwatch, finger poised, and counts me in. I work on my abs a lot, with stomach exercises and pilates, but I still only have a four-pack not a six-or eight-pack. A genetic potbelly makes the lower four bumps pretty much unachievable, unless I starve myself to the verge of anorexia. Besides, I like the rounded look.
When Mercedes calls time after one minute, I've clocked up forty-eight sit-ups, equal to five points. Next I flip over for the push-ups, skipping the three-hundred meter sprint, which is too hard to do on the treadmill. Mercedes and I are meeting at Westwood Park right near my place tomorrow morning for the sprint test. I'm aiming for around fifty-six seconds, but I know that will be tough. Likewise, I'll have to push myself for the push-ups, but at least they're not timed—it's just pump out as many as you can.
I line my hands up directly below my shoulders and stretch my legs out fully. Mercedes checks my posture and pushes my bottom down slightly—no cheating, even though this isn't a real test.
"No more than an inch between your face and the mat, Sophie." Mercedes and I push each other during our workouts and today is no different.
"Give a girl a break, Mercedes."
"You don't need any breaks, Sophie," she says with a smile. "Hit it."
I lower myself all the way down and push up. Even after fifteen I'm slowing down. Fifteen is only one point on the Bureau's scale, and while that is the Bureau's minimum requirement for each activity, it's not enough for me. I keep going, pushing my muscles as each one gets harder and my arms threaten to shake.
"Keep it low," Mercedes says, both warning and encouraging me as I sink into my twentieth push-up. Twenty is two points. I decide to force myself to twenty-two and three points. The last push-up is slow and my shaking arms are on the verge of collapse, but I manage it. I flop onto my stomach, my biceps and triceps cramping.
"Mmm…" It's hardly excellent, but I know my upper body is my weak point.
After a few arm stretches and a couple of minutes I move onto the treadmill for the one-and-a-half-mile run. In this one, the number of points is determined by how long it takes. I normally run fast—nine or ten miles an hour— which means the run should take me around ten minutes. And that'll give me the full ten points for the task.
The rhythm comes easily, and ten minutes and five seconds later I clock up the distance. I slow the treadmill to a steady walking pace.
"Ten, five. You'd outrun most of the guys in the office." Mercedes gives me a little wink.
That's the point—to be able to outrun most men. One man that comes to mind is AmericanPsycho, the president of an online group of serial killers that we took down eight months ago. We got three of the four members, but he managed to escape. Mercedes knows about AmericanPsycho; unfortunately most of the office does, given he sends me a single red rose on the first of every month. But I don't point out that at some stage in my future I might have a sadistic serial killer on my tail—literally.
"You're already up to eighteen points, but if you were at the Academy you'd still need to get a point in the sprint."
I nod. One point means I have to run the three hundred meters in less than 64.9 seconds. Totally doable, given I'm aiming for fifty-six. Looks like I'll make my goal of twenty.
"What you got on today?" Mercedes jumps on the treadmill next to mine and starts walking.
"I'm working on that boy's murder, the one I was telling you about."
Mercedes nods with a little wince. In her job, she's often removed from the case details.
The murder victim's a fourteen-year-old boy who was found in the men's restroom of an arcade in South Central. I think this case bothers Mercedes because she's got a nephew that age, so she's personalized the case. Every case gets to me, one way or another, but I consciously try not to relate to the victim too much. It's hard to be objective when I'm a profiler—after all, part of my job is to get into the minds of the killer and victims—but I still need a buffer. I need to be able to come up for air and, more important, stay up.
The LAPD believes the perpetrator is a youth and that the death may be gang related, but two weeks after the murder they still had lots of suspects without any hard evidence, so they sent the case details to George Rosen, the head of the Criminal Division, and requested a profile of the perp.
"Don't worry, Soph. You'll get to it."
"I better." The case has been on the back burner for the past couple of weeks, with other cases taking precedence. I increase the treadmill's speed, moving back into a fast jog. "It's been four weeks since his murder and every time I bump the boy down the list I can' t help but think about his parents."
"Can you finish it today?" Mercedes asks.
"If I get the whole day, yeah." Problem is, my caseload has been heavy and I've already been putting in thirteen-hour days, plus some time on the weekends. L.A.'s got a high murder rate—one murder every twenty-six hours according to the L.A. Sheriff's Department. And that's only in L.A. County, not the wider area that the Bureau services. It makes assigning the whole day to the boy's case difficult—who knows what will come my way?
A couple of hours later I'm sitting at my desk with the boy's file open when George Rosen pays me a visit. I immediately notice he's carrying a file, but that's not surprising given that most of my profiling work originates from his division—homicide, kidnapping, sexual assault, armed robberies and so on.
"We've got a new request from the LAPD. A homicide. We're waiting on identification of the body and the autopsy report, but the injuries are a little strange."
"How so?"
"The throat and hyoid bone have been crushed."
That doesn't sound so strange to me. "Strangulation," I say, even though to crush the hyoid bone rather than simply break it requires substantial force.
"Not exactly. Here's what I received from the LAPD." Rosen slides the file across my desk.
When I flip it open, the photo of the victim hits me. He's lying on top of a couple of stray bricks and wood, partially propped up against a fence that surrounds a building site. The front of his throat almost looks as though it's been ripped off, like an animal grabbed him by the throat, pulled and then let go. The front section of the vic's throat hangs limply, and congealed blood covers the skin, exposed muscle and the bricks on which his head rests.
"And I'm guessing there's no report of a wild dog in the area," I say sarcastically.
Rosen raises an eyebrow. "No."
I guess the sarcasm was lost.
"This is a fresh one—it happened yesterday. Brady's approved your involvement."
I nod. Brady's the big boss, the assistant director in charge of the L.A. office. Brady and I didn't exactly get off on the right foot when I started here in August, but over the past four months I like to think I've won him over. I've also realized that his general manner is a little distant, so he wasn't as annoyed with me in that first week as I thought.
Rosen continues. "He said to work it in with your other cases…sorry. And given the LAPD's called us in so early, I'd like you to make it your priority."
I see a flash of my fourteen-year-old boy, James Santorini.
Iflip through the crime-scene photos. While part of me would like to leave this victim until after my profile of the arcade murder, Rosen was pretty specific. Besides, this crime scene is fresher, which means fresher leads. I can be called in at any stage of an investigation, but the more recent the crime scene, the better for me. Especially given the extra "gift" I bring to my work.
The file contains both day- and nighttime shots, indicating that the sun rose while the crime scene was being processed. The imagery's not lost on me…a new day was dawning, but not for our dead male. A quick check of the police report verifies the timing. The first photos I look at are the ones taken of the victim's full body, without much else in the frame. I can make out bricks, pieces of wood and other building debris underneath him and the mesh of the fence that partially supports him, but nothing else, no indication of the wider locale.
The victim is of Asian descent and wears jeans and a dark gray T-shirt with a black design on the front. I'm not up with the latest styles or labels, but the clothes look expensive and I make a mental note to check with someone a little more fashion-minded than I am. The clothes could even help us during the search for the victim's identity. For example, if he's wearing designer clothes we can cross-reference his photo against missing persons in the higher socioeconomic bracket. This detail may also be important for the victim-ology. The profile of the victim often helps us to understand how or why he or she was chosen by the killer; and ultimately that can lead us to our perp.
Next I look at close-up shots of the man's face and the throat wound. I notice a couple of thin scars on his face, one that runs halfway across his right eyebrow and a larger scar along the underside of his jaw. Childhood accidents or evidence of prior violence? Either's possible. I examine the close-ups of the throat wound carefully. There are no bite marks—ruling out any animal involvement—but also no tool marks that I can see on the skin to indicate what sort of implement caused the wound. Once the body has been washed by the coroner, the wound will be easier to examine.
The next series of photos I study are of the overall crime-scene location. The building site is on the edge of a large, open-air parking lot and a quick cross-reference to the preliminary police report tells me the lot's in Little Tokyo. The body was found roughly centered between Second Street and Third Street, an area of the lot with fewer people and less light. Anyone walking along the streets on the parking lot's edge would be nearly two hundred yards away and probably oblivious to a confrontation; and the building site would have been deserted in the early hours of the morning. Despite being in the middle of downtown L.A., the crime scene was isolated. The spot for the kill was either well planned or dumb luck. Regardless, there's still a chance of a witness. Perhaps someone was walking back to their car and saw our victim prior to the murder. Or maybe they saw the killer, before or after the fact. Then there is the apartment block on Third Street that overlooks the lot, and a few businesses on Los Angeles Street opposite the crime scene. Maybe we'll find a witness there. The amount of blood at the scene certainly indicates our victim was killed where he was found. And even if time of death comes back as the early hours of the morning, that area of town would have been busy.

Hello Friends, my blog is http://howtostartbloggingtips.com and it's going to complete one year now. I want to improve my blog and for that I need reviews / suggestions from another bloggers.
Thanking you in advance.
Hello Friends, my blog is http://howtostartbloggingtips.com and it's going to complete one year now. I want to improve my blog and for that I need reviews / suggestions from another bloggers.
Thanking you in advance.
Congratulations on reaching the one year mark! Your blog looks very polished and professional, but of course any website can be better. Here are a few thoughts.
1. Your blog's tagline, "Learn How To Start Blogging, How To Create A Blog And Blogging Tips To Make Your Blog Stand Out.", is too long. You want it to be a short phrase that really sticks in people's minds.
2. Your permalinks could be shorter. The longer a URL is, the less likely people are to remember it, and the less likely they are to share it with others. For example:
Could be shortened to:
3. There are tons of blogs talking about "How To Run A Blog". Forgive my bluntness, but why should people choose your site?
You could try to be "the best" at this subject, and that's completely possible, but also very difficult. You'll be fighting against huge names like ProBlogger, you'll have to be incredible to reach significant traffic levels.
I would suggest finding a niche sub-topic within your topic. For example, you could blog about "How Authors Can Run A Blog" or "How Cartoonists Can Run A Blog". Something to separate you from the pack.
Anyway, just one man's opinion. I hope you have many more years of successful blogging.
Never write normal words in capital letters. Users with screen readers will hear each letter individually. Use CSS text transform instead.
I think you did a great work on your website.
Even discovered some plugins i had forgot about.
And it would be very help full to beginners.
So i hope you can get it out to them.
May bee keep what is most important for beginners
on the front page. well just an idea.
Andrew has a good point in finding a niche
to your website.
Its nice and easy to be on your website
so thumb up good work.
And good luck
@ Odai,
Thanks for your detailed suggestions.
Every points you have suggested are very precious. Improving tag line, shortening permalinks and narrowing niche. I'll surely work on these factors. Also I want to change the domain name and switch to short and easy to remember domain name.
You have suggested what I was looking for. Once again thanks Odai.
@Andrew, Yes I will keep in mind text transform. Thanks for taking time to review my blog.
@Renols, Thanks for your suggestion and best wishes. I am glad that you like my work.
Once again thanks to Odai, Andrew and Renols.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
A new domain name is an excellent idea - it will allow for shorter permalinks, and if you narrow your niche, you'll need a more relevant name.
Remember to redirect your old site to the new one, using 301 redirects.
Andrew, the CSS text transform was an excellent suggestion, and I wasn't aware of that.
Hello Odai,
I was also not aware of css text transform.
I'll sure keep in mind to use 301 redirects.
Thank you Odai.

Alright. I will elaborate the best I can with this problem i have.
I'm a new learner into developing android applications. I installed Eclipse Helios.
I downloaded the Android SDK tools version r10, installed it and stored it in C:\Program Files\Android.
I started up Eclipse and downloaded the ADT Plugin as instructed in the website http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing
After finishing downloading, I'm instructed to download additional components through Android SDK and AVD manager.
I clicked on the Android SDK and AVD button and this message appears: "Location of the Android SDK has not been setup in the preference"
I'm instructed to go to Windows>Preference and update Android Preference SDK address:
I ran into the first problem when this message appeared at the top:
Could not find C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe!
Fine I thought. I guess I'll find the file by browsing:
However, after finding the SDK file, nothing happens. I can't click apply or anything! So frustrating!
I read in forums that I should click Help>Check For Updates.. I did that:
After that, I tried to set the Android preference again but nothing changed. I am completely lost. I've no idea what to do or how to solve this problem. I noticed that the file adb.exe does not exist in tools but in platform-tools. But how am I supposed to get the file when the plug in won't even let me download it??
Also I'm curious about this as well: I went to the SDK file in my C:/ drive to have a look at it.
However, I can't find files that appears when I was browsing the SDK file while setting the Android preference:
I can't access the following files (docs, extras, samples, temp)
I'm also aware that I need to update the PATH environment to platform-tools. Once again, I can't do anything since I don't have the file. I hope this is elaborate enough.

Superman: Doomed #1
Superman scribes Scott Lobdell, Greg Pak and Charles Soule team up for an emotionless and tentative introduction to the latest crossover in "Superman: Doomed" #1, which at least has some interesting ideas illustrated by Ken Lashley.
|May 14th, 2014
"X" #13 has Duane Swierczynski pick up from last month's cliffhanger with X figuratively and literally at rock bottom, but the realistic and cleaner art this month doesn't do the title any favors.
|May 14th, 2014
Hellboy in Hell #6
The story in "Hellboy in Hell" #6 is good but lacking a tiny bit of spark, and unfortunately it's probably connected to Mike Mignola's art this month.
|May 14th, 2014
The Field #2
Ed Brisson deepens the gripping mystery of the amnesiac who awakened in his underwear in "The Field" #2, while Simon Roy and Simon Gough straightforwardly tell the story with some great and violent pulpy moments thrown in.
|May 14th, 2014
Starlight #3
"Starlight" #3 has Duke McQueen finally return to Tantalus, and Mark Millar and Goran Parlov's story of a earthling space hero coming back 20 years later continues to delight thanks to its exuberance.

Connect the Moto 360 to iOS, needs an Android phone
Not a fan of the Apple Watch? Good thing there is almost a dozen Android Wear smartwatches now, not to mention those not using Android Wear at all. But what if you have an iPhone or an iPad? Unless you have a Pebble, chances are you're out of luck. Not unless you happen to have a Moto 360 and are willing to go through some hoops to make it all work together. Yes, somebody has been able to make the Moto 360 work with an iOS device, specifically an iPad.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Game said in an interview he wasn't really dissing them, just having fun with it.
In other words, he was just trying to stir shit up to generate publicity for the LP.
As if the ridiculous amount of guest emcees and producers wasn't enough for him.
Too many features, Game can hold an album down on his own so why doesn't he?

Elket facility poised to begin operations
Published: Thursday, December 7, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 11, 2006 at 2:57 p.m.
EAST FLAT ROCK Elkamet is getting closer to coming online as interviews for employees are underway and the plants construction reaches its final phase, company leaders said Wednesday.
Need a Job?
All who are interested in pursuing employment with Elkamet need to contact Shanda Bedoian at JobLink (828/694-1756).
The German-based plastics company officially announced plans in March of this year to build a new plant on the old fairgrounds off Mills Street in East Flat Rock, pouring $5 million into the venture. The company committed to building in Henderson County after Henderson County Commissioners gave them more than $300,000 in incentives.
Elkamet produces fuel tanks for BMW motorcycles and outdoor lighting globes. The company is the biggest supplier of hydraulic oil tanks for Caterpillar construction equipment. The company has nearly completed its 40,000 square foot facility and Elkamet conducted its first round of hiring in September, filling five key positions, said Elkamet Plant Manager Carsten Erkel.
Right now we are in the second round of hiring for machine operators and finishing operators and we need 10 more people for these positions, said Erkel. I guess we will have the next round of hiring in late spring for another 10.
The first five employees have undergone extensive interviews and training that began with JobLink, whose offices are located on the Blue Ridge Community College (BRCC) campus. Those employees, who will serve as the plants team leaders, spent five weeks in Germany this past fall training for those positions, said Shanda Bedoian, business services coordinator for JobLink.
Elkamet has eight employees hired so far, Erkel said, and the plants construction is expected to be completed within two weeks.
Erkel added that he hopes to have 25 to 30 employees hired by the end of 2007. The company is expected to reach total employment of 50 people within three years.
The Henderson County plant will produce hydraulic oil containers for building construction machinery, Erkel said. Volvo and Caterpillar are Elkamet customers for the product, he added.
We will start trial production making some samples for our customers in January with serious production beginning in March, he said.
The Elkamet plant construction, hiring and production plans falling into place is very rewarding, said Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development President and CEO Scott Hamilton.
Were very excited about it, he said. We didnt start on it (site preparation) until May and to know that product is going to be produced a mere seven months later, is very good. My hat is off to everybody involved.
Erkel said he is very pleased with how the plant is evolving.
We are real excited that everything is going according to our schedule, he said We are still on schedule with everything and thats great. Everything has worked out well so far.

~~OFFICIAL Chatroom~~
~~OFFICIAL Skype Chat~~
The Trinity League is a well-respected communal League that offers fun and challenging battle experiences for new and veteran players alike. The League strives to be open, welcoming, and mature. It is a unique League where players need to be strategic when team-building due to our "Trinity" concept, where Challengers face a Triad of Gym Leaders with one team.
General Rules
1) Read and follow all main SPPf rules.
2) Respect & be polite to every member of this League; never insult anyone in any way (give the benefit of the doubt!).
3) If there is a conflict, keep the League at peace and contact Thread Overseers.
4) Do not cheat/hack (Pokesav, Pokegen, illegal traits through AR, etc.). This undermines the hard work and dedication our Leaders put into team building.
5) SPPf battling Standard Rules & Smogon tiers are followed in this League. Additionally, Challengers & Gym Leaders may use only up to 2 non-Uber legendaries; the E3 are permitted up to 3. (Helpful resource: Smogon's Gen 6 Viability Ranking)
6) Gym & E3 challenges are OU ΩRαS Wifi battles only. The Battle Frontier offers a niche for Pokémon Showdown trainers in addition to Wifi battles.
7) Never cut the Wifi! You may be banned if League members identify you of doing so on purpose! If you have connectivity issues, mention it before a battle .
8) Both Challengers and Leaders should post Battle Results into the thread. Where appropriate, update posts with further battle results. (don't double-post)
9) To arrange battles, contact Leaders directly through PM/VM.
10) Have fun!! : )
Challenger Rules
Spoiler:- Important Rules for CHALLENGERS:
1) To earn Badges, fill out an application form and copy-paste it into the thread.
2) The Trinity League offers Triads of Gym Leaders, which means you have to challenge a Triad with the same Pokémon team. (Items/Attacks/Nature/IVs/EVs/Ability/Formes may be changed)
3) You are allowed to challenge multiple Triads at the same time.
4) When posting battle results, you must list your Pokémon to ensure your team stays the same with other Triad members.
5) If you lose a battle, you may switch out one Pokémon per loss. You then have to use this team for the remaining Triad members to gain their Badges.
6) If you lose to the first Leader in a Triad, you may change your entire team. Should one of your Pokémon get banned from the OU tier, you may switch one team member.
7) Counter Teams (CT) are not allowed, and Leaders may decline the battle should they detect a CT. Mega Evolutions count as CT if either before or after mega-evolving the Pokémon is considered a Counter. If you lose and switch out a team member, the CT rule still applies even if a Triad Leader was already defeated.
(CT is defined as having 4 or more Pokémon of a type that a) has super-effective STAB, or b) resists the Leader's type)
See our list of CTs for each Triad
~~Feel free to use one of the Challenger exclusive Userbars/Badge cases for your signature~~
(don't forget to give artist credit to AstralShadow/MasterGohan!)
Leader Rules
Spoiler:- Important Rules for LEADERS:
1) Every Leader must post at least once a week to show activity & open shop at least once every two weeks. In case of a longer absence, be sure to find an Apprentice and let me know in advance.
2) If you cannot comply with 1), you risk having your post closed or replaced. Having no Challengers after three openings is grounds for a Strike.
3) Leaders are expected to use our Official Chatroom when opening.
4) Once challenged, you must accommodate the battle. Matches can only be declined if your opponent has illegal/hacked Pokémon, or CTs against your Triad. (See our list of CTs for each Triad)
5) A match may not be declined beyond your first turn. Forfeiting mid-battle once accepted results in a Challenger Win. Ties always result in Challenger Loss.
6) As Gym Leaders you must have at least 4 Pokémon with the type of your title. The 5th & 6th Pokémon may be of a different type. A Mega Evolution may be counted as your type, as long as you mega-evolve when it switches in.
7) Make sure to check whether a Challenger has used the same team against other members in your Triad.
8) You may switch any party member as long as Rule 6) is kept.
9) You must be able to do 6vs6 Singles under Normal Rules. You may battle Challengers in Doubles/Triples/Rotation under Normal Rules, if they accept.
10) Anyone may apply for open Leader positions. Also, it is possible to switch Gyms if a position opens.
11) Re-matches are decided individually by Leaders. E.g. You may have Challengers wait a week, or ask them to gain another Badge before having a re-match.
12) Please always use your Leader Userbar in your signature, as well as your Badge. You may request a different Userbar at The Under, but you must use the same background as when I requested the Userbar (use the search function!).
You may also request a specialised banner. Always give credit in your sig to our artist sponsors! Example:
HTML Code:[SIZE=1][RIGHT]Credit: [URL="http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?583091-The-Under"]AstralShadow[/URL] (userbar) & [URL="http://british-sarcasm-artwork.tumblr.com"]Kida-Ookami[/URL] (badge)[/RIGHT][/SIZE]
Frontier Rules
Spoiler:- Important Rules for FRONTIER Trainers & Brains:
1) To earn Symbols, fill out an application and copy-paste it into the thread. (if you haven't already to challenge for Badges)
2) The Trinity League Battle Frontier offers Battle Facilities with Frontier Brains whom Trainers have to defeat under special rules in order to earn their Symbols. While the Trinity League is a Wifi League, the Battle Frontier offers a niche for Pokémon Showdown (PS) trainers with Wifi as an alternative (with the exception of 1 Facility where PS cannot technically accommodate the Battle Mode)
Please refer to Smogon's Tiers to inform yourself of what is legal in which tier, as well as Smogon's Gen 6 Viability Ranking
3) Badges are the League's primary form of accomplishment, while Symbols represent an alternative form of mastery over certain Battle Modes. Symbols filter separately into the Challenger Ranking.
4) The Battle Frontier does not operate under the Triad system; each Frontier Brain is challenged individually and under the respective Facility's set of rules.
5) Battles are always 6vs6 Battles under Normal Rules and the unique Battle Modes for each Facility.
6) @Frontier Brains: Unlike with Gym & E3 Leaders, Frontier Brains do not register an opponent's team. Only post battle results.

We loved it. Recipe was simple and quick to prepare. My boyfriend thought is was the best meal I have ever prepared. Followed exactly.
I followed this recipe exactly and I didn't think it was that great. I didn't like the sauce. I give it a 4 on the 10 scale. My husband said it wasn't bad. He gave it a 5. I used fresh broccoli because I don't like frozen veggies.

John Adams, the first to hold the job, dismissed the vice presidency as "the most insignificant office" ever invented. Mather Brown's oil painting of Adams was finished in 1788, while the future vice president was serving as a diplomat.

BOOKEND;The Anatomy of Melancholy
By Peter D. Kramer
Published: April 7, 1996
Peter D. Kramer is the author of "Listening to Prozac" and a clinical professor of psychiatry at Brown University.
IN 1763, the future poet William Cowper was nominated to a political position for which he felt unsuited. Afraid to withdraw, lest he damage the reputation of his sponsor, Cowper was thrown into a state of dread. He resolved on suicide and dashed about London trying different means -- laudanum, a penknife, the Thames -- each time being saved by the hand of God. Cowper later composed an account, at once harrowing and charming, of his passage from depression to religious grace. Intended to console and instruct close friends, Cowper's narrative, embellished with hymns he devised at an asylum, was published posthumously, the first example in English of a small but honorable genre, the memoir of melancholy.
Small at least until now. While most of the 20th century saw the appearance of about one such book per decade -- a bit more if chronicles of mania are included -- the 1990's have witnessed a flood of first-person accounts of mood disorder. The last two years alone have produced at least three by writers (Tracy Thompson, Elizabeth Wurtzel and, in Canada, John Bentley Mays) and three by psychologists (Martha Manning, Annie G. Rogers and Kay Redfield Jamison), as well as a collection of conversations about depression and an anthology of patients' testimony about antidepressants.
Ours is the era of autopathography. Bookstore shelves groan with memoirs of heart disease and asthma. No mental disorder, from alcoholism and autism to schizophrenia, is without its confessions. Obviously, these titles represent niche book selling, a guide for every challenge. Perhaps they signal more: AIDS activism has expanded identity politics to include illness. Autopathography reflects a cultral commitment to diversity, a welcome, oddly joyous sign of tolerance.
But the sheer volume of material on mood disorder marks it as special. Perhaps it's just that depressives are prolific -- the freedom of the age has only redirected a stream of effort from diaries and letters to publications. Or, conversely, that writers often have mood disorders; with the taboo lightened, accounts of depression were sure to follow.
Or maybe, just as hysteria, anxiety and narcissism were for earlier ages, depression is the ailment of our time, germane even for those who do not have it. We seem creatures of our moods; our personalities are a bit discontinuous; often we carry indescribable dread within. So those with mood disorder have something to tell a wide audience.
Certainly, there is a sense that depression itself has become different. In "Having It Out With Melancholy," a poem replete with echoes of 19th-century odes, Jane Kenyon depicted a new natural surround for her depression, the pill bottles: "Elavil, Ludiomil, Doxepin, / Norpramin, Prozac, Lithium, Xanax, / Wellbutrin, Parnate, Nardil." New memoirs are needed because it is different to have melancholy when it is understood as a physiological ailment and when it is treatable in new ways. Indeed, it may be that the new treatments are part of what emboldens patients to take on public personae. All the autopathographers have responded to biological interventions, though not without ambivalence.
At the same time, there is remarkable stability to the genre. The purpose remains comfort and instruction. Quotations of poetry abound; every author struggles with the question of where illness ends and personality, responsibility and moral action begin; and there is a sense, as in Cowper, that the demon is never safely vanquished. Other than an openness about sexuality and, given the medical model, a relative freedom from guilt, it is hard to say what is distinctively modern about the new memoirs.
Perhaps that is because their proliferation is as much a product of the literary marketplace as it is of the Zeitgeist. The inspiration is the unexpected best seller of 1990, William Styron's "Darkness Visible." Mr. Styron's goal is less autobiography than a literary tour de force: to capture the ineffable in words. The elusiveness of depression is one of Cowper's themes: "such a dejection of spirits as none but they who have felt the same can have the least conception of it." It is Mr. Styron's obsession. He writes of an anguish "close to being beyond description," "a toxic and unnamable tide," "a sensation close to, but indescribably different from, actual pain," "so overwhelming as to be quite beyond expression." Demarcating his chosen arena, he writes, "Since antiquity -- in the tortured lament of Job, in the choruses of Sophocles and Aeschylus -- chroniclers of the human spirit have been wrestling with a vocabulary that might give proper expression to the desolation of melancholia." Mr. Styron reveals self on a need-to-know basis, in the service of a narrow goal.
In contrast, Mr. Styron's followers have high-concept stories to tell -- trauma therapist discovers her own childhood molestation, scholar suffers the very illness she studies, therapist gets electroshock, Generation X-er's success belies mental illness. In a collection of essays that has just been published, Lauren Slater, who has postgraduate training in both psychology and writing, tells how she came to consult on the same ward where she had been a patient.

The First Lego League state championship competition took place Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 19-20, in Hillsboro.
Hood River Middle School had four teams advance to the state championship, and the Gorge region was represented by six teams advancing from the local qualifying tournaments.
Team Celsius, an all-girls team from Hood River, took second-place honors out of 65 teams on Saturday.
Contestants presented projects on the theme of "Senior Solutions."
Team Celsius created a memory game, "Face-O," similar to bingo, with the added twist of face recognition.
The two top teams from the weekend go on to "Worlds," at a location to be announced, according to co-coach Joe Dolan, an HRMS science teacher.
Celsius is the only team from outside the Portland Metro area, as well as the only all-girl team, to earn a champion award. Teams reaching this level have been practicing for months on building, design, research and programming.
"Judges were impressed with the (Face-O) game, a webpage to support it and the overall creativity and teamwork of this great group of kids," Dolan said.
He coached the team along with John Fine, Barry Paul and Dave Ouzounian.
The students did research for their "senior solutions" project, the part of the robotics competition that has to be presented to judges, by working with residents of Mill Creek Pointe facility, an assisted-living center in The Dalles.
Dolan explained that the team interviewed the residents and asked them about challenges to their abilities and their frustrations with the aging process. The team came up with this "FACE-O" game, which is like Bingo, to help with memory.
The studentes researched the literature on "cognitive decline" or normal aging, and also Alzheimer's and dementia.
"They tested the game with the residents, tweaked it and went back to play again," Dolan said. "It was a hoot! The residents loved it and all had fun. And it is aligned with the research about teaching memory skills; but it includes a social component which is really important to older folks."
The team also had to build a robot which does tasks on a table for points (three times) and they have to do a team cooperation type of task as well called "Core Values."
Dolan said, "The total score depends on all those things. It's pretty intense."

I have been asked by a studio I work for to be their admin/updater for their existing website. The website was created on another computer and I can access the admin page. However, when I go to add posts I am having a lot of trouble with the text size, shape, and format because I can not seem to find those controls.
When I look at tutorials online there are more buttons at the top of the space where you post new words...such as the "bold" button, or the "color text" button.
since I did not create the website and I am editing online, do I need to download wordpress to my computer to have access to these tools? (If the site is up and running and hosted...how would I download and use the software when I don't have access to some of that information?)
I look forward to hearing from you!

Radio polarization observations have revealed large-scale magnetic fields in spiral galaxies. The average total field strength most probably increases with the rate of star formation. The uniform field generally follows the orientation of the optical spiral arms, but is often strongest outside the arms. Long magnetic-field filaments are seen, sometimes up to a 30 kpc length. The field seems to be anchored in large gas clouds and is inflated out of the disk, e.g. by a galactic wind. The field in radio halos around galaxies is highly uniform in limited regions, resembling the structure of the solar corona. The detection of Faraday rotation in spiral galaxies excludes the existence of large amounts of antimatter. The distribution of Faraday rotation in the disks shows two different large-scale structures of the interstellar field; axisymmetric-spiral and bisymmetric-spiral, which are interpreted as two modes of the galactic dynamo driven by differential rotation

Local band out of Gawler
"When Paul ("Kokoda") suggested that we get together to jam one weekend I didn't have any clear plans for joining another band. We talked about what we thought we'd like to hear if we went into a good pub, bar or club. Chilled acoustic songs that tell a tale, perhaps a Tall Tale. We also agreed that we should add original stuff. So the wheels turned. We practiced, wrote some songs, played tunes we liked, worked at getting them up to the best we can do. We've had a lot of love and support from our families and friends and hope to continue to deliver a range of songs that people can relax to and enjoy. We're looking forward to working on new songs and performing them for you and your family."

The Falling Dollar And The N.H.L.
Canada may be hockey obsessed but that hasn't always meant the Canucks had the best hockey teams. A few years back, the National Hockey Leagues even created a fund to help struggling Canadian teams pay for better players.
Oh, how things have changed — largely because of the falling U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar has been rising relative to the greenback since 2002 and the N.H.L. pay contract states players must be paid in dollars.
That's been a boon for the six Canadian teams.
According to Forbes's annual ranking of team valuations, released last month, is headed by the Toronto Maple Leafs, with the Montreal Canadiens and the Vancouver Canucks also in the top 10. Over all, the six Canadian teams' average ranking in the magazine's analysis is 12th in the 30-team league — a sharp contrast with 2002, when the six Canadian teams averaged 21st.

No favorites? Good company around me makes any bar/restaurant a lot nicer
Locally I dont know many sorry
Experiencing is mispelled in the question. I like acoustic sets. Any genre is nice, variety best. So I'm open to talented passionate artists. If I can't understand or hear the lyrics it's a bit obnoxious.
Wednesday, Saturday, Mondays. Raleigh downtown, or raleigh in general
Probably. Have a grp that meets on Fridays monthly that hosts local musicians, with food n games. But I'm not sellin it;)
Hi I'm Sammo. Taiwanese Amer. Play acoustic guitar, bass drums keys. Love music. Honestly though, schedules with current friends never seem to match well. Could enjoy a new grp of friends who enjoy local shows.

Congregants at a small Gravesend church are still reeling from the harrowing accident that followed Sunday services — a motorist's simple mistake that led to one worshipper's death and several injuries.
Officials said that a 72-year-old Queens man had just dropped off someone and was leaving the parking lot next to Pyeong Ahn Presbyterian Church, 2407 McDonald Avenue near Avenue W, at 2:48 p.m. on March 7 when he mistakenly put his Mercedes SUV in reverse.
When he then hit the gas, his vehicle went into a semi-circle in reverse, backing into 40-year-old Sung Won Cho and four others, including a 10-year-old girl and a one-year-old boy.
Cho, a resident of Kings Highway, died at the scene. The four other congregants were rushed to Lutheran Medical Center with a smattering of injuries. All were listed in stable condition after treatment.
The 72-year-old, identified as Kyongkoo Park, remained at the scene.
As of this writing, Park wasn't facing any criminal charges.
News of the accident sent shock waves through the close-knit Korean religious community. Cho, friends said, was very active in the small church.
"When I heard, I could not believe it," Cho's niece told reporters. "She's too young. I felt like I was going to die. She would participate in everything, Sunday school and all."
Attempts to reach the church were unsuccessful as this paper went to press.
