text: After Alaska won just about every title and award this season in the ECHL it has come down to the Alaska Aces vs the Kalamazoo Wings (Michigan) for the ECHL Kelly Cup. Aces have home ice advantage and just finished Game 2 in Anchorage Sunday night. In game 1 on Saturday night the Aces blew out the K-Wings 5-0. The Wings could just never get going on the Olympic Size Ice up here and Alaska brought their standard heavy pressure to the net. Every player on the Aces team, including the water boy, plays defense first so getting to the Alaska net just wasn't gloing to happen. Game 2 was a little different as it took OT for the Aces to beat the Wings. Suffice to say that K-Zoo demonstrated why they are in the finals for the Kelly Cup in this game. The series shifts to Kalamazoo starting on Wednesday for game three. I expect the rest of the way is going to be a dog fight. Glad that the Aces have a two game lead going to Kalamazoo.

MUSIC REVIEW: Audra McDonald at the Van Wezel
Date: November 18, 2011
by: June LeBell | Contributing Writer
Music at its best should thrill us, shake us up, elevate us, run us over, lift us up, sweep us out of this world and back again so we're elated and thoroughly exhausted. That doesn't happened often, but it was the order of the evening when Audra McDonald appeared with her music director and pianist Andy Einhorn, bassist Mark Vanderpoel and drummer Gene Lewin Sunday, Nov. 6, at the Van Wezel.
McDonald, who earned an unprecedented three Tony's before she was 30, followed by another in 2004, is one of the world's greatest singers. She's up there with Joan Sutherland, Marilyn Horne, Barbara Streisand, Bing Crosby and Luciano Pavarotti. Yet, to most Sarasotans, she's probably known best for her role of Dr. Naomi Bennett on ABC's "Private Practice." I say this because for the 1,000 or so people in attendance Sunday evening, she was the superstar she is. But how I wish lines had formed around the Van Wezel, breaking down the doors, screaming to get in. If you weren't there, you missed the performer of the century.
We've all heard great singers. But when a singer is also a consummate actor, story teller and charmer, we enter a different world, and that's the world Sunday night's audience was in. And we knew it, roaring, cheering, stomping and clamoring for more.
Her first song, "When Did I Fall In Love?" left no doubt we were in love with this woman. Modulations up and up and up took the classically trained singer-who-can-sing-anything into stratospheric heights, flying like an eagle filled with the joy and astonishment of first love and pulling us, like a bunch of Lois Lanes soaring with Superman. (I can't help it. It's her fault I'm writing like this ... )
It wasn't just the singing, which is extraordinary. It's McDonald's ability to open herself to strangers, turning us into fast friends in a matter of minutes through stories about her life, her beliefs and her family. She introduced us to an "elderly pixie" she met in Cambridge, England, who sang "My Buddy" to her and, she was so impressed, she sang it for us. She lulled us with Irving Berlin's "Moonshine Lullaby" in a rendition so different from Ethel Merman's it was like hearing it for the first time. She took us "Into the Woods" and turned our world upside down as we hung from a beanstalk, met some giants, then a witch, then a child and then a prince.
George Gershwin was on her list but, like Sondheim, she revisited, "He Loves and She Loves," leading us through the woods of equality to ponder, "So why can't you love and I love, too?" Who does that sort of thing on a concert program? Who, but McDonald, asks us to think while we listen?
She told us about her father, an amateur pilot, who died when his plane crashed. She said that he'd urged her to accompany herself (yes, she's also a pianist), but she'd told him she was afraid to play in front of an audience. After he died, she made a point of playing at least one song in each show; quite a tribute to a man we'd like to have known.
There were also three contemporary songs, written like German Lieder (but, then, aren't all great songs "art songs"?), that were based on, of all things, Craigslist. Hilarious! And we understood almost every word even though some of them went by faster than the Internet. There were gorgeous lullabies that painted a picture of her daughter, who hates her mother's singing and is embarrassed by her role as the angel-dust sniffing "slut" in "The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess," slated to open on Broadway in a couple of months. There was a shocker of a song by Adam Gwon that took us from the heights of new love, proposal, marriage and joy, to the depths of loss as this man who told her, "I'll Be Here," vanished in the World Trade Center but returned to whisper, "Move on, live."
Powerful stuff for a concert of songs. But it's the power that makes Audra McDonald different. She sings us new "story" songs and turns old ones into family sagas. She's articulate, funny, sensitive, inventive and so talented we just want to touch her hand hoping some of it rubs off. She even lets us in, turning "I Could Have Danced All Night" into a sing-along.
Even though 1,000 cheered McDonald, there were too many who missed her. The next time you see this lady is coming to town, don't be left banging down the door. Get inside, but beware: Your life will be turned inside out.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company Kicks Off Fourth Year of Nationally-Recognized ROMEO AND JULIET PROJECT
- 27 Schools
- 44 Performances
- 342 Classroom Visits
- 4,360 High School Freshmen
(January 15, 2015) -- Tennessee Shakespeare Company has begun its nationally-recognized, four-part performance and in-school residency The Romeo and Juliet Project in the Memphis area this week, starting with Germantown High School and all of its 530 Freshmen.
The Project, now in its fourth year, brings a cast of eight professional actor-teachers into each Language Arts classroom at a participating school. Students are guided by the actors to live the play's urgent tragedy of young love amidst rage, experiencing its relevant story while ensuring that participating Freshmen have a first exposure to Shakespeare that is active, rich, and rewarding.
As the teenagers in the play face armed violence, students discover positive actions available to them in their own lives in the face of real conflict. The Residency concludes with an intimate performance by the actor-teachers of Romeo and Juliet, which encourages student participation.
By the end of March, The Romeo and Juliet Project will have performed the play 44 times in 27 Memphis area schools, and will have taught the Residency in 342 classroom visits in 11 schools. At least 4,360 high school Freshmen will be reached and positively affected by The Romeo and Juliet Project. That figure represents 34% of all Freshmen in the Shelby County Schools system.
Student post-Project assessments have recorded a 20% increase in students' compassion as a result of their inclusion in The Romeo and Juliet Project, as well as a full letter grade increase, on average, in Language Arts classes.

Broadway's most glorious soprano Rebecca Luker to Headline Sixth Annual Valentine's Gala for Education
(December 4, 2014) -- We are thrilled to announce that three-time Tony Award nominee Rebecca Luker will headline TSC's Sixth Annual Valentine's Gala performed at Germantown Performing Arts Center on February 14, 2015.
Ms. Luker's intimate hour-long show to benefit TSC's education program will feature her Broadway and Jerome Kern songbooks as well as stories from her fabled 30-year career.
Rebecca Luker's soaring voice has thrilled Broadway audiences for years. She has been nominated for Tony Awards for originating the role of Winifred in Mary Poppins and for revivals of The Music Man and Showboat. Ms. Luker originated the role of Lily in The Secret Garden, starred opposite Antonio Banderas in Nine, and has sparkled in numerous hit Broadway productions with her portrayals of the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella, Maria in The Sound of Music, and Christine in The Phantom of the Opera.
Just this past month, Ms. Luker received glowing reviews for her work in the rumored-to-be-Broadway-bound musical, The Little Dancer.
"If you've been wondering who, if anyone, might be the heir to the great Barbara Cook, Ms. Luker . . . is the one." - The New York Times

Coming off the company's record-breaking production of Richard III over Halloween,Twelfth Night will run December 11-21 in the Dixon's Winegardner Auditorium to celebrate all the seasonal holidays during our Winter Solstice.
The production is sponsored by Pat and Ernest Kelly.
Directed by TSC founder and producing artistic director Dan McCleary (Richard in Richard III), Twelfth Night features more than the usual cross-dressing, music, and songs in Shakespeare's play. The close-quartered Dixon space invites a celebratory party atmosphere reminiscent of the Moulin Rouge.

One Lap of America in an Ariel Atom
Working within motorsports....particularly manufacturing the Ariel Atom on a daily basis allows us to see, and be involved with, some pretty neat projects. One of these projects is coming together very well...and we are anxiuos to see the results.
A little over 6 years ago on one my first trips to VIR I met a person in the paddock and we discussed Atoms, racing, and general bench racing. A few years later he and his son visited TMI to discuss the Ariel Atom again - still as avid fans...but no Ariel Atom in their garage yet. Fast forward another year or so....and we were discussing how they may wish to have an Ariel Atom built for the One Lap of America race. Bingo - cool project - let's go!
This car has now been built - and the father son duo have been testing the car at various tracks so far with great results. The event is in May so they still have some time to dial in this unique Ariel Atom.
Please be sure to follow the progress of this car as the race starts at www.facebook.com/thearielatom as well as follow the team directly at www.facebook.com/brockyatestributefund The team is working with the Brock Yates Tribute fund to raise funds for Alzheimer's research.
Good luck in the event!
Here is a release that has gone out on the project:
TMI AutoTech Works With Race Team to Build A One Lap Of America Contender

long affair.

was decided that a unique vehicle configuration would be required. "Reliability, safety, and the ability to get
up to speed quickly during the time trials are all factors we combined"
explains Mark Swain, VP Sales & Marketing – TMI AutoTech in the approach to build an Ariel Atom for this event. TMI worked with the client to understand what
may be thrown at the drivers during this race.
The end result is an Ariel Atom that has been labeled with the chassis #OLOA001 to designate its
pure focus on the One Lap of America event.
A high-revving HPD Spec 2.4L engine mated to a close ratio
transmission will act as the propulsion for this lightweight supercar, while a
Bosch Motorsport ABS system will assist with maximum deceleration. A fully welded roll structure surround the driver
compartment which features solid mounted aluminum road race seats for the
drivers who are tucked behind the bespoke windshield of the Ariel Atom. The full speciation list is extensive.

team the best" exclaims Swain. "We feel that the Ariel Atom is well suited to
the challenge!"

Pete Sepp: It's Not Economic Development, It's Corporate Welfare
April 24, 2013
Local officials in thousands of communities around the country love to do "economic development" that doles out tax breaks, taxpayer-backed loans and other "incentives" to attract specific businesses. Pete Sepp of the National Taxpayers Union says it's really corporate welfare that sends the message, "Don't come here unless you're willing to invest a lot of lobbying clout. Perhaps even some campaign contributions to elected officials in the future would help."

Records falling before leaves
By Trevor Hayes
August is ending, the postseason is around the corner, records are starting to fall and today's stars are joining the legends of yesteryear.
Back in the News: Two weeks after becoming the sixth player to belt 400 homers with a .320 average, Vladimir Guerrero recorded his 1,000th hit for the Angels – the eighth player in franchise history to do so. With 1,215 hits as an Expo, he's the second player to collect 1,000 hits for a single team in both leagues. As a Padre and then a Yankee, Hall of Famer Dave Winfield was the first. Aside from Guerrero, Manny Ramirez is the only active player with 1,000 for two teams (Indians and Red Sox).
Also this week – at 34 years, 194 days old – Guerrero recorded his 1,300th RBI. Since divisional play began in 1969, only eight players have reached the mark at a younger age: Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Juan Gonzalez, Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and Jeff Bagwell along with Hall of Famers Jim Rice and Eddie Murray.
Sox-Yanks: Baseball's premiere rivalry provided an offensive showcase last weekend. Friday's 20-11 slugfest was significant. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the two clubs combined 31 runs, was the most in a single game in the over 100 year history of the rivalry. The previous mark was July 29, 1903, with the Highlanders beating the Americans 15-14 at Huntington Avenue Grounds – almost nine years before Fenway Park opened.
Hideki Matsui paced New York's 23-hit attack with a pair of three-run jacks and seven RBI. It was the most by a Yankee at Fenway since Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig in 1930.
Not to be outdone, the Sox fired back. Kevin Youkilis contributed two homers and six RBI in a 14-1 victory over the Yankees on Saturday. Over the last 70 years, only Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk has hit two home runs and driven in at least six against the Bronx Bombers. Pudge did it on April 6, 1973 in a 15-5 rout at Fenway.
A good start: The Royals Zack Greinke is a long way away from 3,000 strikeouts, but on Tuesday night he recorded a performance that four of the members of the 3,000 strikeout club never did. Greinke sat down 15 Indians to break a single-game club record en route to recording his 700th career strikeout. And while 705 career strikeouts isn't even a quarter of the way to 3,000, the 15 strikeouts for the 25-year-old Greinke represent a single-game feat Hall of Famers Don Sutton, Phil Niekro and Ferguson Jenkins and recent retiree Greg Maddux – all members of the 3,000 strikeout club – never accomplished.
Arms race: John Smoltz will make his second start as a Cardinal tonight. When he debuted last Sunday, he became the ninth former Cy Young Award winner to play under Tony La Russa. Between the White Sox, Athletics and Cardinals, La Russa has had two Cy Young winners make it to the Hall of Fame: Dennis Eckersley and Tom Seaver. Joe Torre is the only other manager with nine or more Cy Young winners on his staffs.

That's good stuff on Greinke — very cool to do something that a select group of Hall of Famers never did. On LaRussa and Torre managing nine Cy Young winners — any idea who the manager is to have the most players win a Cy Young while he was their actual manager? I know Clemens won once while playing for Torre in the Bronx, and I know guys who pitched for him there had previously won the award elsewhere. I don't know the answer but I'd think Bobby Cox would be a good guess.
I can tell you love numbers and I do too (can you tell by my recent posts?). Before I get to your question, as a Royals fan and a born and bread Kansas Citian, I must point out that Greinke followed up his 15-K performance with a one-hitter, the team's first since 1995. I read this earlier, only three other pitchers have followed up a 15-K start with a one-hitter. They are: Pedro Martinez in 1999, Randy Johnson in 1998, and Vida Blue in 1971. It should be noted that Pedro's next start included 17 strikeouts, but his one hit was a solo homer.
Anyway, did a little research and it turns out that Walter Alston, Bobby Cox and Earl Weaver managed the most Cy Young winning seasons. All three tied with 6. Alston used four pitchers with Don Newcombe (1956), Don Drysdale (1962), Sandy Koufax (1963, 1965, 1966) and Mike Marshall (1974). Cox's came from three guys: Glavine (1991 and 1998), Maddux (1993-1995) and Smoltz (1996). And Weaever's came from four: Mike Cuellar (1969), Jim Palmer (1973, 1975, 1976, ) Mike Flanagan (1979) and Steve Stone (1980). La Russa is next on the total seasons list with with four, using four different pitchers: La Marr Hoyt (1983), Bob Welch (1990), Dennis Eckersley (1992) and Chris Carpenter (2005). So, to truly answer your question, Alston, Weaver and La Russa have managed the most pitchers to win a Cy Young while playing for them, but Alston, Cox and Weaver have racked up the most total awards.
You didn't ask, but in terms of teams, the Dodgers (with one in Brooklyn) have been taken nine Cy Young awards, the Braves have had seven (one in Milwaukee) and Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia have each had six. Interestingly enough, the Diamondbacks, lead by four in a row from Randy Johnson, have had five Cy Young seasons in their history, same as the Athletics and Yankees.

Rincon is a class act all the way. We've been in talks with them for a while now, and whether they invest or not, these guys have our respect for life. They're some of the smartest, most honest, and genuinely nice people in the industry. Don't bother approaching them unless you've really got your act together, as they're quite thorough and selective about who they invest in. But if you've got a good product and a strong team, you won't find better investment partners.

I pitched Jim A numerous times over a relattively long period (over a year), eventually securing an investment when we continued to hit the metrics that we had projected. That is the kind of thing that works with Rincon. Jim is an analytical guy and seems less prone to the giddy exuberance-balanced-by-obvious-boredom-depending-on-the-scenario traits that many other VCs have. I am not sure they are the place to go if you think you have some buzz-heavy-but-substance light startup, as they will be skeptical, but both Jim and John are both great guys to know in general and are the kind of VCs who will always be helpful. Although they are based in Santa Barbara, you will see Jim out at LA networking events more than many VCs who live in town, so I certainly wouldn't consider that a negative. Like most SoCal VCs their bias tends to be more towards "transaction-based" rather than "eyeballs-based" startups, but they do seem to have a pretty broad portfolio. The other thing I'd say about them is they both seem to be really fair guys (not that they are pushovers by any stretch).

Our venture has been in business for 25-years and thus is not a candidate for Venture Capital. However, I have been exposed to Rincon Venture Partners through John Greathouse, who is a member of our Board. John brings an entrepreneur's sensitivity to our Board, in which his suggestions are made in a constructive and encouraging manner. If I were a high-tech entrepreneur in Souther California in need of Venture funding, I would jump at the chance to work with John Greathouse and his Partner Jim Andelman.

We were fortunate to have Rincon lead our first round of financing and participate in the second round as well. Jim Andelman structured a deal that aligned the interests of everyone involved (founders, management team, and other minority shareholders) so we could focus on the important stuff - executing the vision for the business. Rincon has given us the support and freedom we've needed to do just that. It has been invaluable to know that we all share the same path to success.

I've gotten to know Jim and John quite well and have been impressed. They've got a pretty clear division of labor along their respective areas of expertise - Jim will manage the diligence/deal-making (don't mess with him on number crunching or term sheets - he knows more than you about both) and John will provide the operating/bizdev guidance (his blog is probably the most useful for operating entrepreneurs).
Much less time with Brian, who splits time on the east coast so is less available for face time - don't really have feedback on him.
Disclaimer: They ultimately funded our start-up, so I'm obviously favorably inclined.

I have met with numerous investors and VCs during my angel round and Jim has been one of the most helpful people I have met. He is always willing to sit down and chat with me about my business and he offers great insights and advice for the road ahead. He is always polite and responsive and he is extremely smart. I truly believe he would be a value-added investor should I be lucky enough to get him interested in my company for the next round.

Rincon led our Series A round and supported us as a follow-on investor through even the most difficult times. I cannot speak too highly of Jim Andelman, who as a board member was always accessible, highly knowledgeable, helpful, and direct. I would recommend Rincon to any company that meets Rincon's investment criteria and is in need of a true investor-partner.

Water, foam blasters create wild fun for children and adults
Both children and adults love to squirt each other with water, especially as a way to stay cool in hot weather. At Kmart, we offer a selection of blasters and foam toys that your whole family will love. Create teams and have water wars, or sneak up on unsuspecting friends and neighbors and blast them. Water blasters are a great way to keep your children occupied, or bring your family together for an afternoon of fun.
We also have blasters that shoot foam ammo, just in case your children want to play indoors, or when it's too cold outside for water. We also have a variety of different kinds of soft, foam balls that can be used to blast people in the water or to toss back and forth without getting hurt. We carry popular brands such as Nerf, Hasbro, Mech and Air Blaster. So whether you're looking for the latest Water Warriors squirt gun, or the Nerf Dart Tag 16 Blaster, we have everything you need to make sure your children will have fun with their blasters and foam toys.
At Kmart, we have a variety of blasters that shoot foam ammo, including darts and balls, that kids love to play with. We have blasters in all different shapes, sizes and colors. Kids love to have multiple blasters with stashed ammo so they can be ready for attacks from their friends. The Retaliator Blaster can be built in four configurations, and fires darts up to 75 feet. The Mech Tomy 20 & Belt Blaster has an automatic belt advance for rapid-fire with a dart belt that will hold 30 darts and shells. We also sell blasters that shoot balls instead of darts, such as the Hasbro Koosh Galexy Space Agent Ball Launcher and the Arcade Alley Ball Blaster. So regardless of the style or size blaster you need, our selection is sure to keep your children happy.
We also have tons of water guns and blasters to choose from, depending on whether you want your victims to get a little wet or totally soaked! Nerf guns like the Lightningstorm, Thunderstorm and Microburst let your kids dominate every play fight. Pump up a large supply of water with the Hasbro Super Soaker Quick Blast, or the Buzz Bee Steady Stream 2 Water Gun. Soft toys and balls, especially when played with in the water as beach toys, are a great way to have fun and prevent injury. Nerf makes a variety of toys, including footballs, soccer balls, mini sports balls, bounce balls and more that can be used for backyard fun.
During nice weather, children of all ages love to play on swing sets. At Kmart, we have tons of different swing sets you can choose from fit the ages of your children and the size of your yard. If you're looking for something small for young children that can be moved inside, or a more permanent structure that can hold more weight, look no further. We also have great patio swings that are great for reading, relaxing or spending time with family and friends.
Here you'll find more than just foam and water guns. For a total outdoor fun experience, bring home an inflatable pool or driveable mini cars from our Power Wheels toys collection. Get outside and enjoy the sunshine, grab a blaster or foam toy, herd the kids into the backyard and have a family water war. Taking time to play as a family will turn a regular Saturday into a weekday to remember.

And, that's just what we've done. We GIF'd the 10 most iconic hairstyles that are extensions of a celeb's persona rather than pretty strands of color on their head. If hair could talk, these would surely have a thing or two to say. Hair, however, doesn't (although the Haus of Gaga is likely developing a talking wig as we speak); so, we animated it. There's just nothing better than an infinite loop of famous hair moves — well, unless you've your got own claim to mane fame because that's pretty cool, too.
Some people dream that their theme song plays, a light magically shines on them, and a brisk breeze shows off their well-groomed tresses whenever they enter a room. Some people's dream, however, is Beyoncé's reality. You'd be hard-pressed (weave pun intended) to find a live performance or music video where the queen's majestic mane isn't billowing in the wind. Heck, not even a feisty fan snatching her waves could slow Bey down. The wind is an extension of herself. She paints with all the colors of it. It's her medium, and we are eternally in its debt.
As laid bare in her 2013 VMA performance and iTunes Music Festival show, the "practice of being Gaga" means wigs on wigs on wigs. Her hair has more moods than a "Today I Feel…" magnet, and we love her for that. Though, it must be exhausting, no? Let's hope her real hair gets a vacation once in a while; them strands gotta breathe.
Dorian Corey taught us all that shade is the art of spitting the truth without actually spitting the truth. It can be done with a look, a side-eye, a casual dismissal, or a hair flip. Cher's mastered the art of the latter. Her long, pin-straight hair of the '60s was made for tossing back and forth as a means of making her point known. It's a refined skill, and one that, unlike Maybelline, you're likely born with.
Lorde is the culture and lifestyle enthusiast's dream. She's got the pipes, the lyrical talent, the made-for-alt-blog look, and the hair of beauty editor's (and John Frieda's Anti-Frizz Serum's) dreams: big, curly, long, and controlled. It may seem like it takes an army to keep that mane in check, but all it needs is a little poof. Boop! Done.
Azalea's platinum hair is a work of follicle art. It's shiny, smooth, and, given enough momentum and the right products, could lift her off the ground if she spun it around enough. She does this thing with her ponytail, though, that's both powerful and side-eye inducing. Azalea will, out of no where, go rogue with her hair, grab it by the end, tug it up, and pose. It's like Beyoncé's hands-on-the-hips power pose, only with the added intimidation of hair. It screams "Don't mess" without, you know, actually screaming.
Pop's other Azealia (note: different spellings) also has a trademark hair move. This one, however, has a penchant for mermaid-weaves, which, despite their apparent weight, can be flung around like a rag doll. It's a magical triumph over physics and the laws of gravity. Perhaps if she whips her hair around enough, that album will eventually surface.
It's nearly impossible to separate Wiig's character from her nervous hair twist. Sure, it's damaging to her hair, but hey, a vice is a vice. If hair were an instrument and fingers acted like a bow, Wiig's brunette waves would certainly resonate at the same pitch as her voice.
Pretty hurts, y'all. Pretty hurts.
If given the opportunity to snatch a celebrity's hair for a custom wig, we'd put all our savings into Blake Lively's. In fact, we'd put some of that money toward commissioning her to pen a tell-all how-to book for hair because that gal's 'do is the definition of "I woke up like this." It's effortlessly wavy, enviously lush, and all-around angelic without even using a stylist. Bey might have a wind machine, but, if we're going to be real here, the wind was made for Blake's au naturel mane. Dare we go as far as saying she was born with beach-y waves? Oh yes, yes we do.
There are so many secrets hiding beneath the gel helmet Styles has on him at all times that even he probably doesn't know what's going on up there. What kind of secrets, you ask? Let's see: past flings, how to join the Illuminati, Mick Jagger's swag, a unicorn, a fall/winter 2017 Burberry jacket, and whatever Pandora couldn't fit in her own box. Alright, we kid, we kid, but seriously, why else would it be so big?

No, no fancy or fun subtitles. No all encompassing phraseology meant to delineate the entire 12 months in a particular medium.

DVD remains a strong, if starting to struggle format.

[dotTech Giveaway] 5 free copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine!
Posted By Ashraf On October 5, 2011 @ 12:03 AM In dotTech Promotions,Freebies | Comments Disabled
[1]Earlier this week dotTech reviewed Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine [2]. In the review we promised we would be giving away copies of the game for free. Well here we are. Thanks to IntKeys [3], a Swiss-based online retailer of video games that sells games at highly discounted prices, dotTech has five copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine to give away for free!
Before I go into the details of this giveaway, since IntKeys is the sponsor for this particular giveaway it is only fair we give them a little plug. As already mentioned, IntKeys is a Switzerland-based company that sells computer video games online at highly discounted prices, e.g. they are selling Rage for $34.99 [regular price is $59.99]. You may be wondering how they do this. It works like this. First and foremost you purchase legitimate copies of games from them, but they only provide you with the relevant CD key for the game as opposed to shipping you the game box and actual CD. This cuts down on costs. Secondly, and more importantly, IntKeys utilizes the different region prices to their advantage. You may or may not know this, but different regions in the world have different pricing for games. For example, a game in the USA may cost $59.99 but the exact same game may cost $29.99 in Russia. Both are legitimate copies; the different prices result from price discrimination practiced by game producers to earn higher profits. IntKeys buys games from regions in which they cost less and sells them at a discounted price online. So, sticking with the example we already have, IntKeys may buy the game from Russia for $29.99 then sell it online for $39.99. They earn $10 on the sale and customers save $20 off retail price. A win-win, no? Visit IntKeys.com [3] if you are interested to learn more. If you end up purchasing, be sure to use the coupon code a45dottech4 for an additional 5% off.
That said, if you want a chance to win one of the five copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine first you need to read – and agree to – the rules of this giveaway:
Minimum specs:
- OS – Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7
- Processor – 2.0Ghz Dual core CPU (any Core 2 Duo or AMD X2 or better)
- RAM – 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista), 2GB (Windows 7)
- Hard Drive – 20 GB space free (10 GB free after install)
- Video Card – 256MB Video Card using Shader Model 3 (Performance equivalent to an AMD Radeon 3850 or NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT)
- Online Steam account
Recommended specs:
- OS – Windows 7
- Processor – Any Quad-core AMD or Intel Processor
- RAM – 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista), 2GB (Windows 7)
- Hard Drive – 20 GB space free (10 GB free after install)
- Video Card – 512MB Video Card using Shader Model 3 (Performance equivalent to an AMD Radeon 5750 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260)
- Online Steam account
Now that you have read and agreed to the above rules, do the following:
- Do you purchase games online? If yes, then please state how often and what type of games.
- What is the name of the company that owns IntKeys? (Hint: Visit IntKey's About Us [7] page.)
- Name your favorite color?
If you do not post a comment below and answer all three questions, you will be disqualified from this giveaway.
When posting a comment, please make sure you enter an e-mail that is 100% valid and an e-mail you will check because the licenses will be distributed via e-mail by me. However, please don't post your e-mail in your comment! You should never post your e-mail on a public forum. Just enter the e-mail you want to be contacted at in the "E-mail" field when writing your comment – I will be able to get your e-mail from there. Or if you are a registered dotTechie, just post a comment while you are logged in and I will be able to find your e-mail.
If you are a winner I will send you a verification e-mail to confirm your e-mail address is valid. You will need to reply to that e-mail after which I will send you your CD key. You must reply to the verification e-mail to get your free copy of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. If you do not reply to the verification e-mail within 48-hours, a different winner will be picked in your place.
This giveaway is open until Friday October 7, 2011 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time. The five winners will be picked randomly after the entry window has closed. Good luck to everyone!

High and outlandish fees are becoming the norm these days with news of Frontier Airlines' carry-on bag fees for passengers who book through third-party websites. AOL and MSN compile some of the worst offenders.
Bank Account Inactivity Fee -- AmericaNet Bank charges $10 per month after a year of inactivity on your bank account.
Towels/Hairdryer Hotel Fees -- New hotel chain Tune Hotels recently started charging for costs you'd think would be included in the room rate: $1.60 for a towel, $3 for the use of a hairdryer and $12 a day for room cleaning.
'Business Select' Fee -- Pay Southwest Airline's "business select" fee of $10 or $20 and you get first boarding, an extra reward point and a free cocktail.
Early Termination Fees -- AT&T charges more than $300 to cancel a cellphone contract early and even charges customers for switching to another calling plan or upgrading their phone. So does Sprint.
Seismic Safety Fees -- The University of California, Santa Cruz, recently raised its "seismic safety fee" from $25 to $40 a term. The money goes to improving the integrity of campus buildings to protect students in a quake.
Environmental Fees -- In March 2010, U-Haul started charging $1 to $5 to offset its waste-disposal costs, calling it an "environmental fee."
'On My Way' Fee -- This $25 to $35 fee by Air Canada "guarantees" that the airline will help you find a hotel, restaurant or flight if your flight is canceled. Isn't that just expected?
Land Line Fees -- Oklahomans with AT&T land lines started coughing up a 2% "line inspection fee" in 2008.
Convenience Fees -- Ticketmaster, the behemoth ticket provider, says it charges convenience fees for the "convenience" of 24/7 ticket buying without having to drive to a box office.
"Face-To-Face" Fees -- Virginia legislators passed a $5 fee for drivers who renew their licenses at the Department of Motor Vehicles instead of online or through the mail, saying the fee replaced a proposed $5 increase for all licenses.
Carry-On Luggage Fees -- Baggage fee collection is a booming business, and it's getting more and more ridiculous. Frontier Airlines says it will begin charging $25 to $100 to use the overhead bin for carry-on luggage if passengers book their tickets anywhere other than the airline's website.
Counseling Fees -- Get hitched in Texas and you'll pay an extra $30 for your marriage license if you don't complete an eight-hour prenuptial counseling course.
Property Transfer Fee -- Freehold Capital Partners has a new way to make money: require home sellers to pay 1% of the sales price to the home builder or other third parties each time the house is resold for 99 years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Car Rental Early Return Fees -- Alamo charges $15 when a car is returned a day early, according to USA Today, and there are plenty of online complaints by customers of other companies that charge for early returns.
Pay To Talk To An Employee -- Fee-heavy Spirit Airlines has considered charging customers who wish to speak with one of the airline's employees at the airport, according to ABC News.
Home Ticket Printing Fees -- The New York Yankees and New York Mets baseball teams charge fans $2.50 to print their tickets at home. Ticketmaster has plans to end such fees.

Love and Latkes! I'm Stephanie and I'm getting married in Miami on December 15, 2012. My fiance Oren and I met at a bar one night and my life hasn't been the same since. On this blog, I'll talk about everything wedding planning –- from honoring Jewish wedding traditions to putting together the perfect and uniquely "us" reception and navigating the world of wedding planning from behind my desk at TheKnot.com. Yes that's right; I work at TheKnot.com on the public relations team. It's truly a dream job and I love every second of it. But how will it affect my planning? Will my insider information be a lifesaver or a burden? I'm guessing it'll be a little of both, but only time will tell and you're coming with me on the journey!
The Can't Wait to Say "I Do" Bride I'm Laura, and I'm getting married on Long Island on May 21, 2011. My fiance, Chris, and I met in college and have been together for almost 6 years. I am loving every step of the wedding planning process and enjoy documenting all our wedding plans for our friends and family who are not close by. I am also training for my third half marathon this coming October, which is helping me stay fit and focused while the countdown rolls closer to our big day!
The Baking Bride I'm Heather and I met my fiance, Mark, ten years ago in college. We currently live in northern New Jersey, and are planning our wedding for 9/23/11 in my home state of Rhode Island. You might think that after all of those years of dating I already have every detail of our wedding planned, but I don't! I've enjoyed everything about planning so far, and I can't wait to share more of the wedding planning process with you.
The Long Distance Bride My name is Lexi and I'm so lucky to be marrying my best friend on July 2, 2011. My fiance and I work at a university in Texas, but will be getting married in Indiana, in the city where I was born and my parents live. We are doing our best to incorporate a lot of DIY projects to save money and to give our weddings a personal touch! With 1,000 miles between us and our wedding city, planning has been a challenge, but I've loved every bit of it!
It's the Same But Different I'm Lisa, and I'm so excited to marry my partner of six years, Catherine, on August 6, 2011! We will be tying the knot on Cape Ann in Massachusetts, which is a favorite vacation spot for my family and where Catherine and I took our first vacation. Since this will be a destination wedding for everyone invited, we are planning a full weekend of events that will really introduce our guests to an area we love. We have had so much fun planning our big day and I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
The Shabby Chic Bride Hi, I'm Kayleigh, a multimedia specialist for government social marketing campaigns, a freelance travel and business writer based in Washington, D.C. and a new design/wedding enthusiast. As a Libra, I love to surround myself with beautiful things! When I'm not busy crafting, traveling or keeping my hyperactive beagle at bay, I like to sit in the sun, pop on the shades and people watch -- that's when I find my best inspiration. I'm marrying my fiance, Jay, on April 23, 2011 in a DIY, plantation wedding. Join in the shabby chicdom that is our big day!

An aneurysm is an outpouching of a blood vessel wall. This can occur anywhere there are blood vessels, including in the brain. The bulging, blood-filled pocket can put pressure on parts of the brain, potentially causing symptoms. In addition, the blood vessel can rupture (hemorrhage). Early detection and diagnosis may help prevent severe or fatal complications in some patients. Many aneurysms go unnoticed for a lifetime and cause no symptoms.
Aneurysms form in areas where the artery wall becomes thin or weak. Thinning artery walls and resulting aneurysms can be caused by a number of factors. Common causes include:
- Congenital (present at birth) weakness in artery wall
- High blood pressure
- Infection
- Trauma or injury to the brain
- Tumor
- Plaque build-up on artery walls
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing a brain aneurysm. These risk factors also increase your chance of a rupture. Adults are more likely to develop an aneurysm than children. Females are at slightly higher risk. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Old age
- Genetic diseases (circulatory, connective tissue, or polycystic kidney disease)
- Family history of aneurysms
- Smoking
- Heavy alcohol use
- Drug abuse
- High blood pressure
- Tumors
- Traumatic head injury
- Arteriovenous malformations
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to a brain aneurysm. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Pain behind the eye
- Numbness, sometimes on one side of the face or body
- Weakness on one side of the body or face
- Vision changes
- Drooping eyelid
- Differences between the size of the pupils
- Speech impairment
Most aneurysms do not cause symptoms until they leak or rupture. A leaking or ruptured aneurysm may cause:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stiff neck
- Confusion or sleepiness
- Loss of consciousness
- Seizures
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Tests may include the following:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Other medical conditions; lifestyle factors; as well as the type, size, and location of the aneurysm will direct treatment. For a known aneurysm that is not leaking or ruptured, treatment options include the following:
Your doctor may need to monitor you to see if the aneurysm gets larger or begins to leak.
Medicines are not used to fix an aneurysm. Medicines may be used to help lower blood pressure, treat pain, or stop side effects of the aneurysm, like seizures.
Endovascular Embolization
During this procedure, a catheter is thread up to the aneurysm. Coils, a special liquid, or balloons are used to fill the aneurysm and stop circulation, causing it to clot. This may need to be done more than once.
Surgical options include microvascular clipping or occlusion.
- Microvascular clipping—A neurosurgeon cuts off blood flow to the aneurysm.
- Microvascular occlusion—A neurosurgeon clamps off the entire artery leading to the aneurysm. Sometimes a bypass procedure (rerouting a new blood vessel) is done too.
In many cases, there is no known way to prevent an aneurysm from forming. To help reduce your chances of getting a brain aneurysm or having it burst, take the following steps:
- Control high blood pressure
- Stop smoking
- Avoid recreational drug use
Discuss with your doctor:
- Benefits and risks of oral contraceptives
- Whether it is safe to use daily aspirin or other pain medicines that may thin the blood

Table Lamps
Portable table lamps—great for reading, writing and redecorating
There's nothing like coming into the living room and being greeted by the personality of decorator or retro table lamps. An entire room's design scheme can be inspired by a well-chosen lamp, and a table lamp duo can instantly, and inexpensively, boost the energy of a room and update the decor as the seasons and contemporary lighting trends change. They create new, fresh and attractive dynamics, adding diffused lighting that contributes to the welcoming appeal of a room.
Where Modern Table Lamps Work Best
The living room usually hosts a range of activities throughout the day, from boisterous social gatherings to peaceful moments of rest and relaxation. That's why table lights are so great for this type of area. Using table lamps for living room lighting will enliven the room with bright illumination and style for parties, while also playing an important role by becoming reading lights on quieter nights. Bedroom table lamps are essential if you like to stay up reading after your partner goes to sleep and they also offer a type of lighting you cannot achieve with ceiling lighting. Some of these lamps will also work well outside, but you will want to double check the lamp's UL rating (see UL ratings for help).
Other Great Options
You'll enjoy the benefits of environmentally friendly LED table lamps from modern designers like Flos Lighting, Kartell and Marset. These LED lamps offer the same contemporary design style you love along with better long-term savings. And if you want to really make a statement with your lighting design, you will want to check out the selection of elegant crystal table lamps from Schonbek.

Customer Reviews for Large Windows Beige / Neutral Blindsgalore Window Blinds
"great value"
By customer
Great value for the price, the blinds are well made & totally transformed the room!
View this product"Beautiful Blinds"
By customer
Blinds were professionally packaged and easy to install. I do have experience with furniture that needs to be assembled so I found these easy to install. I also did not have to drill new holes for the brackets. If I had to drill new holes I would consider that the hardest part of the installation. With a previous purchase I made I had an issue with not being able to rotate the vanes. I emailed support and actually received a phone call within a day or two on how to fix the problem. I would highly recommend!

I told you so! IMDB rankings for agencies are BULLSHIT! | |||
Newbie |
To each their own. | |||
Newbie |
What about social media services? Like www.thesocialmediadot.com ? Or does anyone have any other recommendations to help with exposure? | |||
Newbie |
For what it's worth, you can check out www.talentboostpr.com ... same type of deal but a heck of a lot cheaper than the link you posted. | |||
Newbie |
Do you guys offer one that actually works? I have tried one of these for Likes, they are not real and do not stick. My friend used TalentBoostPR.com for IMDb, and IMDb froze her StarMeter ranking and flagged her account. My advise is to not use these sites! | |||
Morgan Freeman |
I don't see how IMDB is even relevant now that you can sign up and pay to add all your own credits (something I refuse to do). | |||
Harrison Ford |
None of these sites are worth a damn and only fools would consider using them. But here's the bigger issue. Let's say one of these crooks deliver and your IMDB rating goes through the roof. So what? Do you think CAA will notice and want to sign you? What's the point of all this nonsense? There's something called common sense in this world and it saddens me that so many actors are lacking any. | |||
Denzel Washington |
You can also get Reddit users to do it fo free! | |||
Newbie |
Haha like that Alexander Rhodes, who really got NOTHING but a silly Cracked.com video from it. | |||
Hilary Swank |
Thank you. I used to think I can become an actor the easy way, by falling for scams which prommised me a big break, I was wrong about that and about you ActorinLa.com | |||
Nicholas Cage |
This is tangential, but my kid recently confided in me that when the acting bug bit her at the age of 10, she thought that it would only take a few months to become a major star on the Disney Channel. Ha. After six years, countless hours of acting, singing, and dancing lessons, countless auditions, thousands of miles in the car, thousands of dollars spent, lots of books on the business of acting, lots of reading on this message board and others, a manager come and gone, getting an agent a year ago and still having to hustle, and now planning our move to L.A., she's amused at herself as she looks back on on that misconception. This is a long road. | |||
Hilary Swank |
she's fortunate to have you by her side along the way ActorinLa.com | |||
Sean Penn |
With your very bad reputation around town I doubt very seriously anyone will cast you in anything. | |||
Newbie |
I find it extremely hypocritical that several voices on here will tell an actor not to improve their IMDb ranking all the while they (Yes You) promote Casting Directors "Workshops" where they rape actors of their money with absolutely NO exchange. I have found the workshops to be nothing but a SCAM. I have improved my IMDb ranking using www.PRTalentBoost.com and since doing this I have landed a good agent, been to 3 auditions a week, and booked a local cable commercial. So actors, do whats best for you and your circumstances. There is no right or wrong way. Just use judgement, don't go boost your score into the the top 2000's range as that is obvious. But regardless of what is said, your ranking on the Star Meter is used by many industry professionals. | |||
Newbie |
Yeah did the agent and cds say they called you in because they saw your imdb starmeter ranking? NOPE! It most likely was great timimg for you. If imdb starmeter rankings were so important how come it didn't benefit jokes like Alexander Rhodes and Junie Hoang who were in the 1 and 2 digits? | |||

Neutropenia is an abnormally low number of white blood cells. These cells, which are called neutrophils, help the body fight infection. This article discusses neutropenia in newborns.
White blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. They are released into the bloodstream, and travel wherever they are needed. Low levels of neutrophils occur when the bone marrow cannot replace them as fast as needed.
In babies, the most common cause is infection. A very severe infection may cause neutrophils to be used up quickly, and may also prevent the bone marrow from producing more neutrophils.
Sometimes, an infant who is not sick will have a low neutrophil count for no obvious reason. Some disorders in the pregnant mother, such as preeclampsia, can also lead to neutropenia in infants.
In rare cases, mothers may have antibodies against their baby's neutrophils. These antibodies cross the placenta before birth and cause the baby's cells to break down (alloimmune neutropenia). In other rare cases, a problem with the baby's bone marrow may lead to decreased white blood cell production.
A small sample of the baby's blood will be sent to the laboratory for a complete blood count (CBC) and blood differential. A CBC reveals the number and type of cells in the blood. The differential helps determine the number of different types of white blood cells in a blood sample.
The source of any infection should be found and treated.
In many cases, neutropenia goes away on its own as the bone marrow recovers and begins to produce enough white blood cells.
In rare cases when the neutrophil count is low enough to be life threatening, the following treatments may be recommended:
The baby's outlook depends on the cause of the neutropenia. Some infections and other conditions in newborns can be life-threatening. However, most infections usually do not cause long-term side effects after the neutropenia goes away or is treated.
Alloimmune neutropenia will also get better once the mother's antibodies are out of the baby's bloodstream.

Venom Blue Belt
By Doel
from West Texas
Comments about Venum BJJ Belt:
The color looks like a faded purple belt not a blue belt. Pretty sad the Venom Gi is nice but I'm ordering another brand of belt due to the bad color.
Comment on this review
Brand New Belt
By Tofu
from San Jose, CA
The belt is incredible. The original reason I got this belt is that I may use in in other martial arts that I practice. It is a symbol of pride that I can honestly call my own.
Good, Tough Belt
By Jorgegarciamma
from Mexico City, Mexico
It is a very stiff belt, so you might want to wash it before you start using it on the mat, you might want to check some videos on how to tie the belt effectively before start using it, because it may become loose.
Good Quality
By delta_t
from Columbus, OH
