quote:If you're not shooting free throws well that has NOTHING to do with Johnny. That's all on the players.
quote:I liked Johnny, but I'm not sure he was a super coach. And poor free throw shooting seemed to be a North Texas tradition. I bet Johnny will shine at LSU with it's national recruiting ability. Again I really liked JJ but I think he's about a .500 coach.
quote:You'll grow to love him more than life itself.
quote:You should have seen where we were before him...and where we are now.
quote:loved his eyes
quote:Johnny can recruit extremely well! He runs a well mannered team. He makes players take out earrings at public events. Tie and suit (the whole nine yards). He is not an x's and o's coach. He can you close to the end goal but not quite over the hump. Now that he is in the SEC he can really recruit and the players ability alone can carry him further.
quote:You can't describe the beauty of a sunset and do justice to its natural brilliance. Someone either sees it with their own eyes and appreciates the majesty, or they don't. Words can't explain true love.
quote:So point being, the future is bright!
quote:LSU played tough and didn't give up even down 30 or whatever. They made a big cut into Florida's lead.
quote:Sorry, doesn't mean its time to panic.
quote:Today we missed soooo many point blank shots. Frustrating to see so many bricks. Played hard just turrable shooting. Team gets stone cold sometimes. Even layups aren't gimmies in those stretches
quote:i think 7-9 in the sec is a fair spot for this team.
quote:I know we aren't deep so jj is probably scared of killing the teams legs if we press more or earlier but i think we need to.
quote:Whoever it was that made the prediction that LSU would make the big dance does not know a thing about basketball.
quote:I believe a realistic expectation for LSU basketball would be a consistent NIT team with a dance bid every 3-4 yrs. To expect anymore is just not realistic.
quote:Sounds like he is already taking recruiting in the right direction, something that has been lacking
quote:The same with JOB's jump shot. Even when he is wide open he shoots a fall away line drive type shot. I am sure he has been coached in better form he just does not execute. Only so much a coach can do.
quote:Do you realize Stringer only attempted two three pointers? Was Florida's defense that good or are we just that bad?
quote:How could Malik Morgan and Shane Hammink look so good in the early season games and be so bad now? Do they just really not have the talent when we moved up to the better teams or are they going through horrible freshmen slumps?
quote:Why did Carmouche look like a savior and now can't hit a shot?
quote:At this point I'm showing him his shot chart and telling him, hey...you can work on your fall-away and your 3 pointer in the off-season and come back and if you show me you're better at it we'll let you shoot it. But for now look at the numbers...you shoot those and you're coming out. That's what I'd do.

Spinal cord abscess is swelling and irritation (inflammation) and the collection of infected material (pus) in or around the spinal cord.
Abscess - spinal cord
A spinal cord abscess is caused by an infection inside the spine. An abscess of the spinal cord itself is very rare. A spinal abscess usually occurs as an epidural abscess .
Pus forms as a collection of:
The pus is commonly covered by a lining or membrane that forms around the edges. The pus collection causes pressure on the spinal cord.
The infection is usually due to bacteria. Often it is caused by a staphylococcus infection that spreads through the spine. It may be caused by tuberculosis in some areas of the world, but it is not as common today as it was in the past. In rare cases, the infection may be due to a fungus.
The following increase your risk of a spinal cord abscess:
The infection often begins in the bone (osteomyelitis ). The bone infection may cause an epidural abscess to form. This abscess gets larger and presses on the spinal cord. The infection can spread to the cord itself.
The disorder is rare, but may be life-threatening.
A physical exam often shows tenderness over the spine. An exam may show signs of:
The amount of nerve loss depends on where the lesion is located on the spine and how much it is compressing the spinal cord.
Tests that may be done:
The goals of treatment are to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and cure the infection.
Urgent surgery to relieve the pressure is sometimes recommended. It involves removing part of the spine bone and draining the abscess. Sometimes it is not possible to completely drain the abscess.
Antibiotics are used to treat the infection. They are usually given through a vein (IV).
How well a person does after treatment varies. Some people recover completely.
An untreated spinal cord abscess can lead to spinal cord compression . It can cause permanent, severe paralysis and nerve loss. It may be life-threatening.
If the abscess is not drained completely, it may return or cause scarring in the spinal cord.
The abscess can either injure the spinal cord from direct pressure, or it can cut off the blood supply to the spinal cord.
Complications may include:
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of spinal cord abscess.
Thorough treatment of boils, tuberculosis, and other infections decreases the risk. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Getting Money for Your Structured Insurance Settlement
by admin in Financial
Many people have a need for money today, but do not have many options available to get this money. If you are someone who has a structured settlement, it is possible to get a lump sum in exchange for a part or your entire settlement.
Common reasons for needing cash from a settlement
It is important that you understand you are selling the rights to future payments from your settlement. When this is done, you will receive a lump sum of cash from the structured settlement buyer, but your future payments from your settlement will be reduced or eliminated. However, there are many good reasons that people do this. One of them is to help pay for tuition in school. Whether this is for your tuition or a child's, the cash can help pave the way towards a college degree. Other good reasons include buying a home or starting a business. In general, the best reason to do this is to invest the money in your family's future.
In order to get cash from your settlement, you will first need to get a few quotes from companies that specialize in this type of transaction. They can be found throughout the country, and many of them have a presence on the Internet. In order to make sure you are dealing with a reputable firm, you should make sure the company as been doing business for a few years. In addition, get more than one quotation. This will ensure that you are getting competitive offers, and you are doing business with a quality settlements firm. Be prepared to submit all of the documentation needed to provide an accurate quote.
Important elements in a structured settlement quote
There are three things to look at when getting a quotation. All three are important, so they are not listed here in order of importance. The first is how much of your settlement is under consideration. Perhaps you want to only sell half the rights, but you may want to sell all of it as well. You also need to look at the amount of money you will receive in cash. The last item is to compare the cash offer to the amount of money the settlement is worth as it exists right now. Of course, the settlement firm is going to offer less than the settlement is worth because that is how they make their money. The only question is how much are you willing to give up in order to get cash today.
Once you have an offer you like, there are several steps that will be taken. Basically, you will need to sign a contract with the settlement firm. After this, they will issue you a cash advance on the settlement, and the final step is to get the court's approval.
Guide To Choosing The Best Cellphone Service
by admin in Technology
When you are looking for the best cellphone service for your needs, it is tempting to just go along with the most popular plans out there. There are so many different kinds of plans to choose from that it is in your best interest to shop around and see what you can find.
You can find great cellphone plans online and in your immediate area. The key is to take the time to understand what each plan offers and then find the one that meets your needs.
What Do You Want From Your Plan?
In many ways, looking for a cellphone plan is like buying a house. You make a list of amenities and then go find the solution that gives you what you want.
- What kind of data plan will you need?
- How many phones will be on your plan?
Make a list of the things you need and then find a plan that satisfies those needs.
What Can You Afford?
Are you a family that needs a cellphone but cannot afford one? Then you will want to talk to Assurance Wireless about your cellphone needs. If you have a budget in mind, then you will want to keep that in mind as you talk to carriers.
The trick to finding the right cellphone plan is fitting the services you want into the budget you can afford. Talk to several carriers and make sure you get the kind of plan you need on your budget.
Do You Want To Be Locked In To A Contract?
The prepaid wireless market has been developing at a rapid rate over the past few years. These days, prepaid plans offer the same kinds of phones you can get with two-year contracts. But you have to buy your prepaid phones up front if you want the service. Many two-year plans come with a selection of free phones.
Educate yourself on the differences between two-year plans and prepaid phones to determine which kind of plan you want. Make sure that you understand all of the fees that are involved in each kind of plan and do not be shy about asking questions when you are out shopping around.
Choosing the cellphone service that is right for you can be difficult because there are so many plans to choose from. The best approach is to take some time to research the various plans available and understand what sets them apart from each other. Once you have a good understanding as to what kind of plan you want, then you can head out to do your shopping without the fear of getting placed into a plan you did not want by a sales associate who was working for commission.
Are You Ready For A Real Psychic Reading?
by admin in Psychics
Possessing extra sensory perception, or ESP is often referred to in the modern world as being psychic, this gift has been known about throughout history and has marked out certain people as being able to determine specific information about the individual. A psychic reading can take a number of forms, including the use of modern technology to complete email psychic readings, telephone readings and a number of methods used when the meeting takes place in a physical environment.
Throughout history the ability to read information about a person through the use of tarot cards, palm reading or simply reading the aura of an individual when seen in person has been a gift both feared and admired. Fortune tellers of the past gave psychic readings to royalty throughout Europe, with the fortune teller at traveling fairgrounds often some of the most popular activities undertaken. In the twenty-first century, the arrival of Internet and online psychic readings have made the job of finding a high quality reading more difficult, but many psychics are still available to provide a positive and expert reading for those seeking information about themselves.
A psychic reading can take many forms, including a common practice known as cleromancy thought to have developed from the ancient practice of reading stones. This involves the psychic casting a number of small objects onto the floor or a flat surface and determining information about the individual from the formation of the objects as they fall. Objects owned by an individual can often be used to determine specific information about the individual, a reading can be done by some trained psychics who simply come into contact with an object owned by an individual and determine information through the use of the five senses.
With the growth of distant psychic readings taking place via the use of letters, text and email, the traditional forms of psychic readings are being challenged by those looking for an instant reading via digital technology. Many who believe in psychic readings still remain believers in a physical meeting between the psychic and the person being read. Palm readings and the use of tea leaves, which are read as they form shapes and patterns as the tea is drunk remain popular. Although the practice has often been seen as linked to the dark arts, the use of tarot cards remains popular and remains one of the most popular and legitimate forms of reading performed by a clairvoyant.
With the variety of psychic options available in the twenty-first century the best option for those searching for a psychic reading is the determine the type they trust the most and find a psychic they trust. From royalty and presidents through to everyday people, the centuries old practice of psychic readings remains popular and can become a trusted source of personal information.
The Lowdown on Toe Nail Infections
by admin in Health
Toe nail infections are more common than most people realize. Around eight percent of people will experience fungal infection of the nail at some point in their lives. Many people who experience this common problem are embarrassed about it, but there is no reason to be. The good news is that toe nail infections are treatable. Here is a look at everything sufferers need to know about these unsightly infections in their toe nails.
How Toe Nail Infections Are Caused
One of the most common ways that toe nail infections occur is when they spread from a fungal skin infection like athlete's foot. They can also be spread in public showers and swimming pools. A toe nail that has been damaged is more likely to be infected than a healthy toe nail. People who have feet that are in water a lot are more likely to develop infections as well.
Symptoms of Toe Nail Infections
These infections can be very ugly to behold. One of the most common symptoms is a yellowing of the nail. The yellowing often occurs in steaks. The nail can often grow thicker and misshapen. The nail can also become brittle. Sometimes the nail falls off due to the infection.
Treating Toe Nail Infections
Because these toe nail infections can be so unpleasant to look at, sufferers want to treat them as quickly as possible. Soaking the nail for 20 minutes twice a day in apple cider vinegar is an effective treatment. Some people also swear by applying Vicks Vapo Rub to the nail at night as a home remedy.
The most effective means of treatment is to consult with a physician. Physicians will prescribe anti-fungal medications that are very powerful to treat the condition. These anti-fungal medications are both topical and oral. Using both at the same time is the most powerful way to treat a fungal infection in the toe nails.
In cases of severe infection, the physician may decide that surgical removal of the infected nail is the best course of action. This is combined with anti-fungal medication to keep the new nail from developing an infection as it grows back.
When treating toe nail infection, it is very important to keep the toes dry. Fungus thrives in moist conditions. Wearing open-toed sandals is a great way to keep the area dry.
Preventing Toe Nail Infections
The best way to prevent toe nail infections from reoccurring is to practice good foot hygiene. This means always wearing shower shoes when using public showers and pools. Also, never share shoes or socks with other people. Also, preventing injury to the toe nails is also important. One of the most common ways that people injure their toes is by cutting the nails too short. Take care when cutting the toe nails to keep this from starting an infection.
Dogs for Allergy Sufferers – Hypoallergenic Dogs?
by admin in Pets
As animal-lovers struggle to create a balance between their desire for a canine companion and their ever-present dog allergies, it is good to know that many breeds of low-allergy or hypoallergenic dogs exist.
Naturally Hypoallergenic Breeds
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), several breeds are recommended for those who suffer from allergies. Among the most popular are the Bichon Frise, Maltese, and all three varieties of Poodle. These are low-dander breeds and typically do not shed like many other breeds do, either continuously or seasonally.
For those who would rather have a medium to large-sized dog, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Portuguese Water Dog, and Giant Schnauzer are also on the list. Other sources include the Shih Tzu and the Whippet. Degree of reaction to any of these breeds varies according to many factors, including individual sensitivity.
Some sources indicate that hairless or semi-hairless breeds are low-allergy; however, these dogs can still produce dander, if not fur, which is often the more serious allergen. This makes them poorer candidates for those with dog allergies than the breeds listed above.
Dogs Bred to be Hypoallergenic
Without dog allergies, neither the Labradoodle nor the Goldendoodle would exist today. These designer dog breeds came into existence in an attempt to create the ideal guide or service dogs for people with disabilities and with dog allergies. Instead, the pioneering breeders may have created the perfect dog in terms of temperament, energy level, and overall health, although not all Doodles, as they are affectionately known, are truly non-shedding or hypoallergenic. Their coats come in three types, each having different allergenic properties. The wool coat type is the most sought after for reduced shedding and dander.
Other Factors and Considerations
Size: A large dog will often cause a more serious allergic reaction than a smaller one, due to increases surface area and increased dander. Not all small dogs are created equal, but for the most part, allergy suffers do find them more manageable than larger breeds.
Coat type: Dogs that have a naturally oily coat, like German Shepherd Dogs, may be more easily tolerated than dogs with a drier coat type. These dogs do shed considerable amounts of hair, in general; however, the oil reduces the amount of dander that leaves the dog's skin and ends up in the air.
Diet: Early research suggests that dogs that are fed poorly or are feds products high in corn or grain tender to have issues with their skin, coats, or allergies of their own that also affect allergies in humans, due to increased dander and/or shedding. Quality dog foods can reduce this issue.
Overall, for allergy sufferers who want canine companionship in their lives, options exist that can allow for happy and comfortable coexistence. Choosing the right dog is the place to begin. After that, a good diet and regular grooming can also help make sure that dog and owner have the best lives possible together.
Is Garcinia Cambogia The Real Deal or Just A Scam?
by admin in Health
People who are looking to lose weight with a natural supplement that doesn't have harmful side effects may want to try garcinia cambogia. The supplement is extracted from the garcinia fruit, which grows in parts of India, Asia and Africa. The fruit is similar to tamarind, is often used in both sweet and savory dishes, and is very high in vitamin C.
The vitamin C in garcinia cambogia is known as HCA or hydroxycitric acid. This potent form of vitamin C helps to boost the metabolism, which burns fat at a faster rate in the body. HCA also provides the body with an extra boost of energy, which can help those who are trying to lose weight to maintain an effective exercise program.
Garcinia cambogia is rich in fiber, which is necessary for proper digestion of food. Fiber helps to push food along in the intestines efficiently, which promotes regularity. Fiber also helps to stave off hunger, which means dieters will have less of an urge to eat excessively throughout the day. This, of course, leads to weight loss, since it's likely that garcinia cambogia will encourage dieters to consume a sensible amount of calories throughout the day. The fiber in the supplement can also help to balance the blood sugar. Fiber turns the sugar in food into glycogen or energy instead of allowing the sugar to turn into fat, which helps to prevent fat accumulation and sluggishness.
Dieting can be a challenge emotionally. Garcinia cambogia contains serotonin, a neurochemical that helps to balance the mood and prevent dieters from emotionally eating. Serotonin promotes a sense of well-being and lessens the chances that dieters will reach for a fatty or sugar snack during times of stress or sadness. The neurochemical also promotes sound sleep, which helps to renew the body and accelerate weight loss.
Side Effects/Warnings
In general, garcinia cambogia is safe for most people to take. However, those who are allergic to fruits in the tamarind family should avoid taking the supplement, as allergic reactions like skin rashes and shortness of breath can result.
Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should consult their doctors before taking garcinia cambogia to ensure that the supplement will not affect the health of the fetus or the nutritional content of breast milk.
When choosing the right garcinia cambogia supplement, dieters should look for brands that are particularly high in HCA for more favorable results. The supplement should be taken immediately before a meal.
How To Block Employees From Wasting Time on the Internet
by admin in Internet
The Internet is essential in so many areas of life; many businesses simply can't operate without having access to it. However, the Internet can also be a tremendous distraction, and studies have consistently shown that employee productivity drops when Internet access is not restricted. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions; here are a few to consider.
Open Floorplans
Perhaps the simplest method of eliminating all forms of wasted time is to have open floorplans. Since it is easy to see what employees are doing at all times, they'll be less likely to waste time. Having monitors that are easy to see is particularly effective. However, some employees will simply cover their monitors or switch to a new page if someone approaches, and many find this tactic to be only marginally effective.
Active Monitoring
While no employee likes having his or her Internet activity monitored, monitoring has been shown to reduce the incidence of employees wasting time. However, it is important that employees know that their activities are being monitored as the goal is to reduce time wasted and not to catch and punish violators. While this tactic is effective for most employees, some may be not be affected.
Router/Server-Level Blocking
Businesses that need to block only certain sites can block them with their servers or routers. This tactic can eliminate some of the most tempting websites employees are drawn to, and it can save everyone from the embarrassment of having to talk about websites employees have visited. It is important to discover websites employees are accessing to add them to the blacklist. It's also possible to have a whitelist of approved sites, but this is too restrictive for most offices.
Specialized Programs
The most effective and customizable solution on how to block websites is to rely on specialized programs designed to limit certain website activities. Tools like Work Examiner offer a number of ways to restrict Internet access. Employers can set a limit on how long a user can access certain pages, which allows them to take necessary mental breaks during the day. They also offer large lists of types of websites you might want blocked, which allows you to further customize your blocking.
Wasted time can be frustrating to employers, and it is certainly expensive. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions available, and each offer some advantages. However, most experts now recommend specialized programs. These programs allow managers to encourage efficiency without requiring employees to completely abandon entertaining sections of the Internet, and they save the time needed to create custom blacklists and whitelists.
How A Professional-Looking Website Can Impact Your Business
by admin in Marketing
By now, most business owners know that a website is essential for attracting potential customers. More people use the Internet to find businesses than ever before, and a website allow businesses to reach out to these customers. However, some don't view a professional-quality website as essential. Here are a few of the ways a great website can benefit your business.
The Modern Business Card
While it is possible to have a businesses listed in online directories without having a website, running a great website allows you to put forward a positive impression. Your website will be your first impression on potential customers who search online, and they will remember how your website looks. No business owner would settle for shabby business cards, so don't allow your website to leave a negative impression.
Project a Professional Image
Customer want to know that a business they choose operates in a professional manner, and a website allows you to leave this impression. A business that takes care of details and performs high-quality work wouldn't allow their website to be anything less than professional in appearance and functionality, and potential customers will worry about customer care and service if they are met with a sub-par website.
An Outlet for Online Marketing
If you create a free website and ensure that it appears in prominently in Google, it can go a long way toward building a solid customer base. Pay-per-click advertising has proven to be a profitable way to reach out to customers, and it takes only a small investment to get started. Social media can be a great way to reach out, but a website is needed to convert followers into customers. The number of marketing options a website provides is large, and it is only expected to increase.
Mobile Users
A professional-quality website must look great on mobile devices, and those who test their website on smartphones and tablets can reach out to a broad audience. Increasingly, people are heading to town and deciding where to go after they arrive. With a quality website, you can stand out from your competitors and attract these potential customers. By using responsive design paradigms, your website will be ready regardless of what type of device is used to access it.
Promotional Material
Promotions are a great way to drive interest in your products or services, but websites are needed to run effective promotions. Promotional offers spread across social media quickly, and a website makes sharing this information simple. You may also want to build a mailing list, which allows you to share news about products and services with interested people.
The Internet was once viewed as optional; today, all businesses must have an online presence to bring in sufficient revenue and grow. Great websites take time to create, but the investment is worthwhile. Armed with a quality website, you'll be poised to take advantage of all that online marketing has to offer.

Comparing Auto Insurance Quotes – What You Need To Know!
by admin in Insurance
When looking to pay less for your car insurance, you should opt to shop around, ask a lot of questions and make sure you get the best deal. With so much competition, this is not easy, and you should know what to look for and how to search for the best rates. With this in mind, here are a few tips on comparing auto insurance rates.
Get at least three quotes
It is easy to browse the web with a simple Google search and get car insurance quotes online. However, if you want to find the best deal on auto insurance, you should opt to get, at minimum, three quotes. Then, you will have a baseline to compare. In fact, you should go the extra mile and try to get five quotes as this is an easy way to decide what kind of insurance you need and how much you will need to spend. Without this, you are going to face an uphill battle as it is hard to get a great deal if you only look at a few providers.
All too often, you will find a seemingly great rate but notice that you must pay a huge deductible. While this is okay for some, it is not a good deal if you do not have cash in the bank. Think about it, can you afford a $3,000 deduction? If so, you can get an excellent monthly rate for your insurance. On the other hand, if you do not have this kind of cash sitting in the bank, you should consider getting a policy with a lower deductible. Either way, you must look at this as you can get a true picture on the cost of the policy.
Ask about discounts
Before you go signing any paperwork, you should ask every company if they give discounts. Some will give you a lower price if you are a veteran or have other insurance with the provider. Other times, you can get a discount if you have a great driving record. Simply put, by asking about discounts, you can cut your bill drastically.
Other perks
With some providers, you can get accident forgiveness coverage. Other times, with certain businesses, you can get free towing or other add-ons that make the package a good deal. To understand this, you should look at all the extras and decide for yourself if it is a good deal. Remember, some companies provide everything at it is wise to choose one who does as you can get more out of the experience.
Monthly payments or one lump sum
Now, when getting insurance, some companies will only offer you a great deal if you pay in one lump sum. Sadly, some large companies will charge a customer a monthly fee to make payments in this manner. Since this adds up, you should do your research and determine the best course of action.
When looking at insurance rates, some things are misleading. Luckily, when knowing what to look for, you can get a great deal.
The Ongoing Scandal of Private Protection Insurance
by admin in Insurance
Private Protection Insurance, also known as PPI, has found itself in the middle of a big scandal in the UK. In fact, there has been a record number of PPI claims in the country, and most of these claims are linked back to banks under the British Bankers' Association. However, before you can understand what this scandal is and why it has affected so many Brits, you need to know what PPI is.
What Is PPI?
PPI is a type of insurance that helps protect you from large purchases such as debt repayment loans or home mortgages. This type of insurance makes sense because these are some of the biggest and riskiest purchases that consumers will ever make. It stands to reason that these kind of purchases should be protected by some kind of insurance.
PPI helps to protect borrowers in case they are not able to pay back their loans for whatever reason. For example, maybe they become sick or lose their jobs. PPI will help protect them. To get this kind of coverage, you have to pay a fee every month. If people have this kind of insurance on their mortgages or their loans, PPI is worked into their monthly payments.
PPI Compensation Claims Hit Record Number
Now that you know what PPI is, it is easier to understand the PPI scandal that has taken the UK by storm. Last year, PPI compensation claims hit a record 2.2 million. With a number this high, it was clear to the British government that some kind of scandal had taken hold of the industry. Shockingly, however, it is not consumers who are the main beneficiaries of these compensation claims but major financial institutions. It is believed that these financial institutions were mis-selling PPI to consumers. Some of the culprits include the Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Barclays.
Lloyds was discovered as being the worst offender with more than 391,000 complaints about mis-selling PPI. That being said, a number of other banks around the UK also received complaints from consumers during the first half of 2013. The Royal Bank of Scotland received nearly 290,000 PPI compensation claims during the same time period. Besides the Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Barclays, there were a number of other banks involved in this mis-selling scandal, such as HSBC, Nationwide and Halifax just to name a few big financial institutions.
Ongoing Investigation
Although there is apparently a problem in the PPI industry, investigators are still busy piecing everything together. A full list of companies and banks caught up in this scandal has yet to be released. It is also not known just how many fraudulent PPI cases were claimed during the first half of 2013. The only thing that is known for sure is that there is a problem, and it has to be handled or risks hurting the entire PPI industry.
In-Depth Review of Amino Prime Male Performance Supplement
by admin in Health
When you are serious about gaining lean muscle mass and eliminating unnecessary body fat, combining a hard workout with the right supplement can make all the difference. As men throughout the fitness world are discovering, Amino Prime is a supplement that delivers on its promises. Based on anabolic performance enzyme technology, Amino Prime has increased energy levels, boosted endurance and cut recovery time after workouts for those using it.
What is Anabolic Performance Enzyme Technology?
Better known as APET, this revolutionary leap in supplement usage now claims to have one's body build muscle and burn calories faster and longer than ever before. With its claims to build more muscle while burning 25 percent more calories 24/7, Amino Prime has become very popular with bodybuilders, athletes and others seeking to improve their fitness levels. While burning fat is important, it's even more important to be burning the right kind of fat. With Amino Prime, those who use the supplement are reportedly able to burn as much as 18 percent more fat as visceral fuel. While one's body can only break down up to 20 percent of ingested protein, using Amino Prime will enable a person to assimilate all of their protein supplements, helping them feel and look more youthful.
What Should I Expect?
For those using Amino Prime, a number of benefits have been reported. Increased muscle growth, shorter recovery times between workouts or games, burning body fat and much more has been claimed. And apparently, all the benefits are not limited to time in the gym. Amino Prime is also geared toward helping men increase their libido and performance in the bedroom, allowing them and their partner to have a more satisfactory experience together. The goal of Amino Prime is to help men reach their full potential in the gym, the bedroom and on the playing field.
Is Amino Prime the Fountain of Youth?
While it may not be a fountain of youth, Amino Prime has certainly provided a way for many people to feel younger, look younger and act younger. As HGH becomes more popular with athletes and those seeking to stimulate their body's muscle growth and metabolism, Amino Prime has been able to take the benefits of HGH and put them into a supplement form. One of the most visible claims of Amino Prime's power comes from Dr. Richard Hawkins, former team doctor for the NFL's Denver Broncos. According to Dr. Hawkins, HGH has made a huge impact in cutting recovery time from surgery, injuries and normal wear and tear. For those using Amino Prime, whether middle-aged or in their 20's or 30's, the idea of looking better and feeling better is very much reality.
As the emphasis on maintaining one's youthfulness later in life continues, Amino Prime offers a way to help people increase their growth hormone levels in a safe and quick fashion. For those serious about their health and their bodies, this supplement is offering them the chance to become the best possible competitor.
The Ultimate Guide To Buying A New Tablet
by admin in Technology
There are many things to take into consideration when buying a new tablet. Since each model has its own quirks, it's important to get your hands on a few models before you decide which one to buy. Here are some things to consider when buying your next tablet.
Factors to Consider When Buying a Tablet:
Each tablet has its own OS built in. This is the first thing to consider when buying a new tablet. It's often best to choose the platform that you are most comfortable working with already. It does take some getting used to when you decide to learn a new operating system, and this can cause some unnecessary frustration for a lot of people. Apple iOS, Windows, and Google Android each have their own pros and cons, so research carefully if you do decide to choose a new operating system.
The size affects the weight, the screen resolution, and the rice. Larger tablets are better for visibility, but you must ask yourself if you really need the extra space. Smaller devices are perfect for those who simply want to have an on the go access to a machine with higher processing power.
If you're looking to buy cheap tablets, you're going to notice that they vary greatly in price. From around $150 to well over $500, you have a lot of room to balance the features of your tablet with the amount you're willing to spend. Some of the more expensive tablets are the Apple iOS tablets, and some swear by these devices despite their higher cost.
Another thing to consider when purchasing your next tablet is the user feedback. You can learn a lot from reviews and see how customers who already own the device feel about their purchase. Be sure to check the reviews to make sure that your device of choice is reliable and delivers on its promise. Below are three devices that live up to their reputation.
Some of the Best Tablets on the Market:
iPad Air
The iPad Air is one of the lightest tablets on the market, yet it still delivers high processing power and a long battery life. For those who can afford to splurge a bit, the iPad Air is a clear winner.
Amazon Kindle Fire HDX
Tablet owners who love to read might choose this 7-inch tablet from Amazon. The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX is fast with a high resolution screen and great sound quality.
Asus MeMO Pad HD 7
This is the best tablet hands down for value seekers. This tablet has many of the features of a more expensive tablet at half of the cost. It has almost 10 hours of battery life, a 1280 x 800 screen, and a high speed processor to boot.
There are many tablets on the market, which means that choosing the right one for you is a challenge. When buying your next tablet, be sure to think carefully about the features that are most important to you. After browsing many of the best tablets, it should become clear which one would fit your needs and your wallet.
3 Ways To Effectively Market Your Brand on Facebook
by admin in Marketing
No matter the business, your livelihood is based upon your customers willingness to be a part of your brand. After all, if you don't have brand awareness or a positive foundation that your company is built on, then you will never get the customer satisfaction that keeps you up and running. One of the best ways for your business to promote and market itself, is through Facebook. Facebook is convenient, relatively inexpensive, and it's a medium that millions of people access each day. To say that Facebook can be helpful for your company is surely an understatement. However, it's not just about using social media, but rather using it effectively and efficiently. Here are some tips for how to market your brand through the use of Facebook.
Make It Easy
You may think that you have the greatest business in the world, but it's rare that you'll find people that are willing to completely invest in your company if it takes too much of their time. After all, they have other things to do that keeps them busy and active. The first thing that you can do to increase your marketing potential on Facebook is to make it easy to like and follow. Another option is to buy Facebook likes from a reputable dealer such as Marketers-Heaven.com Consider putting the option to connect through Facebook everywhere you get a lot of traffic. This includes in emails, on your main webpage, and even through QR codes on physical media as well. Try to make the process less than three steps so people can quickly access your page, like it and then go on with their lives.
Offer What People Want To Hear, And Stop There
We all have friends on Facebook that we are actually interested in what they say. Then again, we also all have friends that just annoy us with the amount of crap they put online. In order to make sure that you lower the potential of followers unsubscribing to you, keep your content relevant and direct. You may also want to avoid making posts that cause too much controversy, unless that is your specific market. This tip also means that you should keep your posts consistent, or else people will quickly forget about your brand. If you keep it consistent, keep it direct and avoid controversy, you will notice your Facebook followers increase and the marketing become more successful.
Facebook Ads
Facebook Ads are one of the easiest ways to find your niche market online. These ads lets you narrow down your reach to a very specific group of people, which will assure that your targeted market is only aimed at people who are actually interested in your product. Facebook Ads do cost a fee, but the return can be better than many other marketing options you are probably currently using. And if you realize that Facebook Ads aren't doing enough for your business, then you can drop them without any penalty. The rewards are high and the risks are low with using Facebook Ads to market your business.
It takes a bit of time to really get your Facebook campaign up and running. However, once you get the wheels going, you will notice that you get more and more followers with each day. In order to keep that momentum going, consider the tips here for marketing on Facebook.

This little guy goes perfectly with rest of Lion toys and rocking Lion we bought for expecting son! As mentioned in the other review, its great to find a organic toys that actually looks good rather than looking like recycled material. Even its made in China, it gives me sense of relief knowing its organic and my baby could chew on it. Not too easy to find NON made in China items these days ;)

Like all babies, our little one wants to chew on everything so I was happy to find a toy that didn't make me cringe every time she chomped on it. The organic cotton was just right for me and the easy-to-grab rings were just right for our baby. I don't want to be one of *those* parents but I just don't feel good about my kid chewing on something plastic all day!

Can you explain? If Bell was smart, she would take the take advantage of the oportunity to leave while everyone's preocupied with their own objectives.
Leaving during a battle would be a semi-intelligent move, depending on if the King can keep track of his own pieces. You are right that leaving while everyone is preoccupied would be a decent time to leave, but not now. there isn't any motivation yet, only seeds. So leaving at this moment would be a terrible idea.
Dr X, I'm sure would notice if his daughter left during a battle. He leads from the rear and watches everything. It would have to be a fight against him to notice she left. Where would she go at that time? Join the fray against him?

50.0% of Users Would Recommend this Digital Camera
50.0% of Users Would Not Recommend this Digital Camera
PROS: Took adequate photos during its short functioning period. Image quality was OK but not as high as expected; features and usability were very good.
CONS: Unreliable coupled with lousy after-sales service, a very bad combination. Stopped working after 2 weeks, been waiting more than two months now for Fujifilm to decide whether to replace it or fix it. It cost me $3.50 per photo, hence the very low score for value. Also the low-light shots were quite disappointing, didn't live up to Fujifilm's marketing or rep at all. In moving from the F31 to the F50 they've doubled the pixel count on the same size sensor, making for better photos at very high magnification levels but inferior shots at low light.
PROS: on http://picasaweb.google.com/rundumelii/Test_fuji_f50fd you can see pictures made with the finepix f50fd from 100 to 6400 asa . in the end you even find a foto of the slr nikon 80d to compare ... surprise ;-) see and smile ! and it finally fits into my pocket !!
CONS: compared to my old finepix f20/30 it looses with 800 asa and higher ... but is much better with low asa !
Rate the Fujifilm Finepix F50fd

When was the last time -
When was the last time someone suggested you something that required you to do something different in your life and you did it?
Could be really simple, like someone tells you about a new place to eat and you go try it. Could be really complex, like getting a divorce.
But you have to have done what they suggested. Could be anybody.
I am not asking what it was, just when.
For me, what comes to mind was about 3 years ago.
My friend Sue suggested she come over Saturday and have dinner with me. We did, it was her idea, but I guess that didn't count because it wasn't different enough. People come to my house all the time.
Could be God telling you.
I am just curious, how about you?

In order to find and register a domain name, you would usually go through so called domain name registrars. The various companies that host these services usually charge relatively high fees for a single domain name. Although this might seem like a one way street, there are services that provide cheaper ones. Some of these require you to register for their services, which in turn allow you to buy cheaper domain names from other members. Another method of attaining a cheaper domain name is by signing up for a hosting service or a website builder package like 1&1 MyWebsite. These other types of services provide you with much cheaper domain names because they charge for their hosting for website building features. As a result, you don't have to pay for your domain, or if you do it will not be nearly as expensive as just registering a domain name by itself.
The price difference between the multiple domain name registrars has multiple reasons. Some of these registrars try to gain more profits based on higher volume of sales and therefore keep their profit margins lower. Others will keep their prices low and earn their profits with additional services like E-Mail. Some domain name registrars have a fully automated systems and administration system for their customers to sink the fix costs by reducing the amount of support required. 1&1 MyWebsite follows the same concept of providing many additional services and as a result offering you cheaper domain names. Domain names also vary in price depending on the domain extension. The most common domain extension is ".com" and will cost more than ".info" due to basic economic principles of supply and demand. Everyone wants a ".com" extension, but they are not easy to get. This builds a price ladder of domain name costs depending on your domain extension.
1&1 makes buying your domain name simple. The more complicated part is on your end in figuring out what you want your domain to be named. Once you have figured out what you want your domain name to be, 1&1 helps you with the rest. When you purchase a domain with 1&1, the cost is inclusive all the registration fees and affiliated E-Mail accounts with 2 GB storage space. Choose a domain package you need, and the registration is free. It includes sub-domains, a control panel, E-Mail account and support. Furthermore you use the WebsiteBuilder provided to you by 1&1 to construct your own website around your new domain.

Fatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy.
Tiredness; Weariness; Exhaustion; Lethargy
Fatigue is different from drowsiness . Drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep. Fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation. Drowsiness and apathy (a feeling of not caring about what happens) can be symptoms that go along with fatigue.
Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical activity, emotional stress, boredom, or lack of sleep. Fatigue is a common symptom, and it is usually not due to a serious disease. But it can be a sign of a more serious mental or physical condition. When fatigue is not relieved by enough sleep, good nutrition, or a low-stress environment, it should be evaluated by your doctor.
The pattern of fatigue may help your doctor determine its cause. For example, if you wake up in the morning rested but quickly develop fatigue with activity, you may have a condition such as an underactive thyroid. On the other hand, if you wake up with a low level of energy and have fatigue that lasts throughout the day, you may be depressed .
There are many possible causes of fatigue, including:
Fatigue can also occur with the following illnesses:
Certain medications may also cause drowsiness or fatigue, including antihistamines for allergies, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, steroids, and diuretics.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition that starts with flu-like symptoms and lasts for 6 months or more. It is diagnosed based on the presence of a specific group of symptoms and after all other possible causes of fatigue are ruled out. Most people with CFS do not get much relief from rest.
Here are some tips for reducing fatigue:
If you have chronic pain or depression, treating it often helps the fatigue. But some antidepressant medications may cause or worsen fatigue. Your medication may have to be adjusted to avoid this problem. Do not stop or change any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Stimulants (including caffeine) are not effective treatments for fatigue. They can make the problem worse when they are stopped. Sedatives also tend to worsen fatigue.
Call your doctor right away if:
Call your doctor if:
Your doctor will perform a complete physical examination, paying special attention to your heart, lymph nodes, thyroid, abdomen, and nervous system. You will be asked about your medical history, symptoms, and your lifestyle, habits, and feelings.

Facebook accounts are NOT hacking-proof
Here's a very alarming fact everyone should be aware of: 3 in 10 People will be a victim of hacking. Vulnerable accounts include Facebook, Twitter and emails. Facebook faces a nightmare with around 600,000 private accounts getting hacked on a daily basis. What's worse is that many of them don't care this is happening.
Such statistics prove only one thing: Facebook hackers are everywhere and they're not showing signs of slowing down. And in a world where every young person on the planet has a Facebook page, it becomes paramount to beef up Facebook account protection.
Too Little…Too Late
As it is, those who think of protecting their data have had their Facebook accounts compromised in one way or another. They could have clicked on "dirty" links or used a third party device and left it open there.
There are also a lot of people who don't know what security protocols mean for their account. The crude way of security they know is that one password protects it all. Once they lose it, they couldn't get access back.
Majority of Facebook hacking happens to those who don't check their account activity often. Having little to no knowledge on how to protect their account leaves them scratching their heads in the end. By the time they learn how, things would already be too late.
Protection by Little Known Methods
Don't leave your account vulnerable to hackers, not when you can do something about it. Follow these two little known but very effective methods of Facebook account protection:
- Two-factor authentication – There's a way for hackers to stop forwarding links masked behind apps or posts. Stop them at their tracks by refusing to click irrelevant links to products or ads. Next, step up your login process. This two-factor authentication method requires a second set of data to be entered in the form of a security code sent to your mobile phone.
This feature in your Account settings is especially helpful when using an unknown browser. Enable this via Account settings – Security – Login Approvals – then check the option called Require a security code to access my account from unknown browsers. Facebook will take you through the process with ease.
Every time you login using a different computer, Facebook will keep asking for the code it just sent via the mobile app or a text message. However, there's one limitation: If you simply use the same computer, no security code will be asked.
- · Closing and Monitoring active sessions – For those who own multiple gadgets (like a tablet or another Android phone) and use them all to login to one Facebook account, this can matter a lot. While it's common to have this, it also leaves the account defenseless. If someone else gets ahold of your device by accident, they can access all your data there.
But alas, there's a way to close this feature or monitor it. Go to Account Settings – Security – Active Sessions – click Edit. Here you can see all devices currently logged in to your account and the location of the user. If you see something you don't recognize from a place you've never been, click "End Activity".
Facebook has already taken all possible steps and thought of all possible scenarios where a user's account can be hacked. Use their security protocols but don't rely on it to protect everything. You must also be careful not to give your private information away. After all, we've all been taught that prevention is better than a pound of cure. Perhaps it's time we do that.
Even though Facebook has gone a long way in order to make their site "hack-proof" there are still some sites claiming to being able to hack accounts. The vast majority of the sites are simply scamming their users but SocialHacks seem to be able to hack Facebook accounts consistently.

Please, avoid posting tons of sets without proper explanations. Give helpful and useful suggestions on the current sets instead of posting brand new ones. This thread is made to have everything about missing players, in order to make good sets to be eventually moved to the main database. Thank you.
Short rules:
- Sets must be posted here. So no more pending sets on teams sections, just post here whatever you want to share with us.
- Everyone who posts a set can edit it whenever he wants, just make us aware of it posting a reply in this thread with the changes you applied on the set and possibly even clear explanations on them.
^ Everyone who doesn't follow this rule will lose the ability to edit his set.
- The thread is not just for sets, the main purpose is to discuss missing players. So notes are equally accepted just like "Player X vs. Team" videos are.
