"I wish I could say that Alakazam was a good king or a wise king. But he wasn't. He was rude and arrogant. As a matter of fact, he was a bit of a crab about the whole thing. I suppose you could say that his crown went to his head."Alakazam the Great is a 1960 Anime film by Toei Animation based on Journey to the West. It is adapted from the manga Boku no Son Goku by Osamu Tezuka. It was released by American International Pictures in the United States in 1961, and was one of the first Anime films to be professionally dubbed in English.Its story concerns Alakazam, a simple monkey who becomes King of the Monkeys. He instantly becomes Drunk with Power and mistreats everybody around him, including his girlfriend Dee Dee. He forces Merlin to teach him magic, and goes off to Majutsu Land to cause trouble. He's finally beaten and imprisoned by King Amo. He's sentenced to become the bodyguard of Amo's son, Prince Amat, who's about to go on a great pilgrimage. And Amat will need the help, for there are many demons waiting to cause him trouble.
—Narrator, about Alakazam.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Alakazam/Son Goku had yellow fur in the original manga, but brown fur in the movie.
- Canon Foreigner: Dee Dee the Monkey, who did not exist in the original novel.

In the past 6 months we have received clinical and laboratory data from physicians, indicating that on rare occasions a patient receiving propionyl erythromycin ester lauryl sulfate (Ilosone) may develop sensitivity to the drug manifested by reversible jaundice and liver function test changes of the intrahepatic cholestasis type. Laboratory studies in 7 well-studied patients have been characterized by increased direct-reacting bilirubin levels, negative or weakly positive cephalin flocculation and thymol turbidity tests, elevated serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase levels (in the range of 100 to 300 units), peripheral eosinophilia, normal cholecystograms, and in some instances elevated alkaline phosphatase levels.In 4 of these 7 patients, symptoms of abdominal distress and jaundice recurred on administration of a second course of the antibiotic, and in one, the symptoms reappeared on readministration of a third course of therapy. A fifth patient developed jaundice following a course of therapy, and then received

Deal DetailsLast Edited by widgit August 13, 2013 at 03:06 AM
This week's ad [target.com] lets you take $20 off this game (and a few others) when you buy a $1 preorder game card.
Best Buy is selling the same game for $19.99.
Price match the game with best buy and have them scan the preorder card and the game should come out to $0.99!
Hint: To make this a successful purchase, you might want to buy another item of equal value to distract the customer service clerk from the fact that you got a game for $1. Just return the item later.
Community Wiki
1. Get Tomb Raider, GTA4, and a GTA5 $1 pre-order card.
2. Give the clerk Tomb Raider
3. Show your phone with the BB price and ask for a price match. If no phone ask for price match to Best Buy or Amazon.
4. Hand the clerk GTA4
5. Hand the clerk GTA5 pre-order card (Total will be the cost of GTA 4 + $0.99 + tax)
You are NOT obligated to buy GTA5 with this, they will only hold a copy for you for a short period after it's release (if you choose to pick it up).
6. Return GTA4 later. (Final cost of of Tomb Raider is $0.99)
Works with these $1 pre-order cards: Splinter Cell, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs and GTA V, Don't pick Battlefield 4
Also, check the expiration date on the pre-order cards. Some are expired. It may be why some didn't work.

Looking Ahead 0 commentsDec 23, 2010 1:09 PM | about stocks: BSCB
Looking Ahead:
The Fed has announced a second round of spending (QE2), this time a mere $600 billion over the next seven months. Funny, but it was not too long ago the Fed was talking about balance sheet after having expanded it so dramatically in the past two years. The market's reaction has been rather interesting.
1) During this period, speculators have bid up the price of TIPS to a negative yield.
2) In the past month and a half since it became clear that the Fed would do a second round of financing, rates have risen dramatically along the curve (see Chart 1).
3) Oil prices rose for a week before falling on fears of economic slowdowns in China and Brazil and the possibility of a bailout for Ireland. Gold did the same thing (see Chart 2).
4) Stocks rallied for a day and have sold off since then (see Chart 3). The Fed argues that by spending $600b on intermediate treasuries, they will keep interest rates low, which will help increase housing prices (without which growth in the U.S. will be almost impossible) and increase inflation by raising equity valuations. I have only one problem with the strategy – it won't work. Furthermore, it has very quickly backfired; rates have not gone down but up, while stocks and commodity prices have come down, not gone up.
At this point, I had written a somewhat lengthy, very detailed, and definitely winding commentary on what Bernanke may or may not be thinking and why I didn't think it would work, along with lots of examples. But, it finally occurred to me that what he thinks, what he is trying to accomplish, and all the reasons why it will backfire are really irrelevant. What really matters is how we address the obvious investment issues. So, luckily for you, the reader, this will be much shorter and a great deal more concise.
The current investment climate has elements of inflation working through the system, but also has deflation working through the system, and at the same time is exposed to potential black swan scenarios (atypical, high risk situations). During such times, the typical diversification strategies do not work, as the financial meltdown of 2008-2009 and the flash-crash in 2010 have shown. We are in a highly unusual situation when looking back over the past 60 years, and a combination of strategies will be required.
Typically, a good strategy when worried about conflicting economic cycles would be to use a multi-asset class portfolio. Combining equities with fixed income and either real estate or commodities would protect the portfolio from the various economic crosswinds. However, when getting hit by unexpected highly volatile situations, we have seen that these disparate asset classes all correlate very closely as investors seek liquidity from any and all sources.
Chart 1 Change in Treasury Yields
Oil (red) vs. Gold (yellow)
S&P 500 (red) vs. DJIA (yellow)
Thus, a closer examination of the portfolio will be required. The risk of each position will need to be more closely evaluated in an attempt to understand and mitigate fat-tail risks. This must then be combined with strategies that may be less familiar to many investors.
For instance, some exposure to private investments may also help stabilize an investor's portfolio. The lack of liquidity which made many investors hesitant to make such investments may provide a source of stability during volatile markets, presuming of course, that the private company is not in need for additional financing at the time.
Another strategy is the use of option strategies such as spread trades or synthetic principal protected notes. Such strategies allow a portfolio to have exposure to an equity position but with far less capital at risk. The extra capital that would have had to be exposed if a straight equity position had been taken can be set aside in cash or short term fixed income securities, providing some additional return, but more importantly, providing the portfolio with dramatically less volatility.
For example, earlier this year, instead of buying Apple stock we invested in an Apple synthetic note trade. Apple was at $249. The portfolio had a total value of ~$1,000,000. If we had purchased the stock outright, a 5% beginning position would have cost $50,000. Instead, we bought three Jan 2012 240 calls, sold three Jan 2012 300 calls and sold three Jan 2012 200 puts. The client was paid $1,515 for taking the position – they had no capital in the deal. Here is the potential outcome:
Apple Option Strategy Apple Price Apple Value Jan 240 Call Val Jan 300 Call Val Jan 200 Put Val 190 ($11,800) $0 $0 $0 $250 $200 $3,000 $0 $0 $300 $10,200 $18,000 $0 $0 $400 $30,200 $48,000 $(30,000) $0
Just buying the stock provided a 5% exposure. At $190, the stock would have lost 23%, impacting the portfolio by -1.2%. The option strategy would have cost $1,485, a -0.15% impact on the portfolio. At $250, the stock would be flat, adding no return, but the option would have provided $1500 (about 7 times the return while our capital was still earning returns in short term bonds or cash). At $300, the stock would earn a 20% return and add 1% to the portfolio while the options added 1.95% to the portfolio. The stock would break even with the option strategy at $346.50. So while there is the chance to earn more in the stock, it requires to have much higher exposure, which increases the portfolio's volatility. Furthermore, the additional downside risk counters the additional upside potential of the stock, thus making it even less attractive. And since the portfolio still has the capital sitting in cash, if the stock were to drop to $200 short term, we have the capital to buy the stock and take on the exposure, but with 20% of the risk already taken out.
This is, of course, simply one example. But similar trades can be found in many stocks which an investor might have interest in and even though the numbers will vary case to case, we have been able to duplicate this strategy numerous times.
The Bottom Line…
Given the current worldwide economic and investment climate, utilizing a more defensive portfolio strategy makes sense. But the typical diversification by asset class is not likely to provide enough of a hedge. A portfolio that utilizes multiple asset classes combined with some private investments, some option strategies and some cash is likely to perform better.
Yes, one should expect muted returns in such a portfolio. However, when the alternative is losing money – as most investors have managed for the past ten years – a more subdued return is far more desirable. As the co-president at PIMCO, Mohammed El-Erian, pointed out in a recent interview, one down year of 15% in ten years can reduce returns by as much as 50% for the entire time period. Thus, discretion, being the better part of valor, leads us to accepting lower returns in exchange for substantially reducing client portfolio risk.
Finally, cash, even though it provides only minor returns, does make sense given this investment environment. If the markets get whipsawed once again, portfolios with cash are able to take advantage of the volatility when prices are very attractive.An excerpt from Harmony Asset Management LLC's "Notes on the Quarter" #4

William Burroughs's 1980 novel Port of Saints (a substantial revision of the novel first published in 1973) predominantly serves as a continuation and elaboration of the utopian mythology he introduces in The Wild Boys. The Wild Boy community consists of a multicultural group of adolescent boys who stage a revolution against what Burroughs views as a matriarchal mainstream society. The Wild Boys, often depicted wearing nothing but jockstraps and roller skates and carrying knives, eschew all contact with women and reproduce through an asexual process that endows them with various psychic and/or supernatural abilities. These special abilities are a part of the Wild Boys' arsenal of weapons to be used against the CIA, the …

The Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA) is pleased to announce its Training Course on
A snapshot of the evaluation of the Training is available here: >>
Introduction to Water Utility Regulation
Budapest, March 7-11, 2016
Economic, legal, technical and financial skills are central to the administrative and economic regulation of the public utilities. Professional development in water regulation requires a working knowledge of regulatory economics, an understanding of policy impacts and the ability to navigate national policy processes, and effective agency management of the legal and organizational processes necessary for adequate "due-process" protection in regulatory activities.
The course features 5 days dedicated to the core responsibilities and activities of water utility regulatory authorities with regard to the oversight of the regulated utilities, principles and practices of tariff setting, performance benchmarking, and new developments in the regulation of the sector.
The level of the course is introductory: it aims to provide basic, but comprehensive training to the personnel of water regulatory authorities and water utilities. Participants will gain knowledge on key economic concepts guiding the operation of the sector, the challenges faced by sector participants including the wider problems of water management, and the role of the regulator and regulatory models including best practices. A core theme of the course is tariff setting and approval by the regulator: theoretical lessons will be supplemented by case study examples and a tariff setting exercise. Sufficient time will also be dedicated to the role of performance benchmarking in regulation.
Design of the Course:
Instructors of the course are a mix of utility regulators and researchers. The course is designed to assure the utmost transfer of practices and information from experienced regulators to course participants. This characteristic allows ERRA to design training courses that focus equally on practical application and theoretical methodology and include the transfer of relevant direct experience. In addition to the formal classes presented by the instructors, the course will feature preparatory homeworks, practical exercises, simulations, participant case studies and a final test.
The course is available to practising water utility regulators and to non-regulators such as ministry and local government representatives, banking institutions, law and investment firms, consulting companies and regulated utility companies.
The number of participants is limited so we suggest early registration!
The Course is facilitated by the Regional Center for Energy Policy Research (REKK). Prof. Peter Kaderjak, Director of REKK was a Chairman of ERRA and a President of the Hungarian Energy Office. In addition to research associates of REKK, classes and group exercises are taught by former and practising utility regulators, most of them representing the ERRA region and the European Union.
Tuition Fee:
ERRA-Full Members: €1,400+27% VAT*
*Tuition fee includes: training materials, accommodation for 5 nights, lunches, coffee breaks during the course and social programme.
Please note that ERRA is not in the position to provide participants with funds or assistance in finding the necessary funds regarding their participation fees and does not have sponsored places for the training. Thus, we kindly ask you to submit your registration only in case the funds to cover your participation, including tuition fee, travel, etc are available for you and your participation is already approved by your delegating company.

Lisa Jakub is a writer, retired actor, wife and dog-mom. You can read more from her at LisaJakub.net and see photos of her dog on Facebook or Twitter.
We all have mentors in our lives: someone who exemplifies a better way of moving through the world, a better way of living with an open heart and a better way of embracing joy. I found my mentor when I rescued a 7-year-old dog.
I adopted Grace a few years ago. She had been in pretty rough shape and judging by her enthusiasm for dumpsters, had likely been living on the streets for a while. I thought I was the one saving her.
When Grace came home, I was still learning how to reconcile my past with my new life. After working as a child actor for 18 years, I decided to retire from the film industry and find a path that felt more authentic to me. I left everything that I knew, and moved from Los Angeles to Virginia to start over.
Grace seems to understand the importance of both acknowledging one's past and letting it go. Although she has terrible nightmares and lingering issues from apparent abuse, her sense of gratitude for the present moment is always stronger than her fears. She never lets her issues stop her from living her life. And while I will never understand why the sight of a garbage bag makes her flatten her ears and cower, she always bounces back moments later, returning to her preferred spot at my heels. That moment is gone, on to the next.
We both have new lives now, and Grace is my writing partner. She curls up next to my desk and inspires me to be honest on the page. She reminds me that we don't need to be defined by our past. We create our own story. Every day is a chance to start over. Grace has decided that her story is about joy. She spins in circles at the mention of a walk. Regular meals are a cause for wholehearted gratitude. A belly rub is the best thing imaginable.
Life is good for Grace. And life is good for me, because of Grace.

Last Stand Guide
There have been a ton of questions about Last Stand and some people seem to still be having trouble in general with it. I hope to clear all remaining questions with this simple guide. Just follow the videos for good locations (and or tactics). Everyone plays differently, so if what I do doesn't work, you are welcome to go about it however you like. These are far from the best ways to do these levels, but should guide some people to finding what way works best for them. You will be completing waves 15-20 on Realistic. This will unlock the achievement for completing all levels on Last Stand on that said difficulty. Each video is only going over the starting wave (wave 15). By the final wave there will be more enemies for you to dispatch. The nice thing is that more will be respawning at the same time, meaning more clusters for you to grenade. With that said, there shouldn't be much of a problem when there are extra enemies to dispatch. I know I'm not the best speaker (I tend to mumble) so mute me as you wish! The dialogue isn't much extra help to be honest! Also in case you don't watch the first two videos, an EMP can be destroyed, and you will get to retry again. It will fill up to 100% if you retry, no matter what. Sorry in advanced for poor quality video.
Pistol: Five-Seven
Alternate: MP5-SD3
Gadget 1: Frag Grenade
Gadget 2: Remote Mine
Uniform Upgrades: + 1 gadget, +1 gadget, + 1 gadget
Note: You should have beaten both single and cooperative storylines by this point, or else you may be missing certain equipment depending on what you did, or didn't complete. This can still be done with various equipment. The choice is yours.

WOW Cheers dude! This willl help me a lot seeing as I find this the hardest and..well really the worse game mode in the game tbh lol Thanks!
we basically just free style it on realistic and we are successful almost every time. its the only game mode that is truly a fun challenge. the game really does make u feel like a badass agent and its this mode alone that has made splinter cell the best coop game i've every played. that includes games like gears, L4D, army of two, borderlands, etc.
before i played last stand i thought the game was a about a high 8 but now its at least a 9.5 and the second best game I've played this year. (ME2 first)
sorry for mini rant, this is all just opinion
God tyger7 you are the man!!!
Love all the videos. Your guides have heled me get to 930g so far in splinter cell conviction. All i need now is to complete 9 more maps in last stand on realistic using you videos. Thanks again!!!
Cheers for the videos I'll be using them when I go for the acheivment , I'll report back with success.
I am here to report my last two achievements are complete. (the ones for last stand) thanks to your videos and other guides on this site i just 1000gs Splinter Cell Conviction.
the spots you had were perfect for most of the levels. on a few maps a was spotted a lot and was having problems but i soon figured out other spots.
on the train level if you stand on the ground near the end of the train where there is a bunch of open space and its dark. thats where i camped cuz i kept getting shot on top of the train. anyways i just picked 'em off from there.
but thnks again for the help with the locations worked great most of the time you dont even have to move its great.
like english always say. CHEERS :drunk
This didn't work. I started all of them on wave 15 on realistic and no achievement what so ever. I wasted about 3 hours. What happened? It says there all completed on realistic but no achievement. This was the first time I did last stand with a partner and I noticed I did not get the co-op last stand achievement until the third level was complete. This was the level I did the last man standing achievement on. Do I have to complete at least waves 1-15 on any other difficulty?
Wow I feel stupid now. I didn't scroll all the way down. Thanks dude your the best.
WHAT!!!, You can start on wave 15???
lol, me and a buddy have been going through them 1-20 on realistic, wasting about an hour on each.
We only need 3 more maps a believe, but will try starting on wave 15 on them now. Thanks!
never mind!
This achievement is a pain in the ass, especially on your own, but I've managed to get halfway through haha. I'm sure a lot of rage would have been spared with a partner though, but hey, this mode is a lot of fun despite the frustration.
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try that weapon loadout and see if I get more success out of it.
Is there a Weapons Stash on these levels or are you stuck with the ammo you go in with?
[QUOTE=Viol8tor Mode;3018961]WHAT!!!, You can start on wave 15???
lol, me and a buddy have been going through them 1-20 on realistic, wasting about an hour on each.
We only need 3 more maps a believe, but will try starting on wave 15 on them now. Thanks!
-Hahaha, don't feel bad man, my friend and I just realized the same thing thankfully we have only done 4 maps so we only wasted about 2 or 3 hrs, 100% on this one will be a breeze and much quicker now.
all below confirmed
Reminder:10 total maps
to play in Last Stand Mode
Last Stand Master { requires waves 15-20 on realistic}
Complete all (10) maps in "Last Stand" game mode on realistic difficulty
Last Stand Completionist {requires waves 15-20 on rookie or normal}
Complete all (10) maps in "Last Stand" game mode on rookie or normal difficulty
Last Stand {requires co-op waves 15-20)
Complete any 1 map in "Last Stand" game mode in co-op
Last Man Standing(requires waves 1-20}
In Last Stand, survive all enemy waves of any (1) map in one session without failing on any difficulty
For the Mozook Grounds map, I found it helpful to use the MP5-503, along with maxed out ammo upgrades for the uniform, then camping at the place shown in the video and just pick off enemies one by one. You might need to stay in the corner to stay in the shade. If enemies do spot you, just pop an EMP and pick them off. The only drawback is that you need to let yourself die every 2 rounds or so to replenish your ammo, but I found this way so much easier.
Also, sometimes the lower enemies are out of view so you need to scoot over to the ledge, but in my experience, most of the time, they're too preoccupied with blasting at the EMP and won't notice you as long as you nail them with a headshot.
This makes things a lot easier, especially if you're going through this without a co-op partner.
Thanks for taking the time to make all the videos. They are very helpful and much appreciated!
Thank you very much, Tyger7. I was thinking these last stand achievements would be hard, but with your guides I've been through the first 6 locations without many troubles. Tomorrow the rest of them. This thread should be fixed and properly linked.
Oh my god did these ever sucked. I had a hell of a time doing all these Last Stand mission. tried a few with a partner first and ended up doing them all on my own since everyone I have on my friends list apparently wasn't gaming today. I did about 2/3 of them before I figured out my outfit was set wrong giving me only 1 of each gadget. Once I had it dialed in with 4 of each it was, well it still sucked, I'm not gonna lie. THis is definitely my least favorite Splinter Cell game mode.
thanks of the videos Tyger7, they were immensely helpful. Especially once I figured out how you had so many damn grenades. Ha
Thanks for the feedback guys, makes me know the videos were worth creating! I will have the ability to record HD videos next month (after investing around $2200 buying a new laptop and gear), so maybe I'll change the videos up a bit with some good high quality :)
Thanks a Lot! The Mozdok one was horribly difficult. This helped a ton.
I had the most difficulty with the Russian Embassy 2 level for some reason. I came back to it at least 5 or 6 times, and even with a partner it still kicked our asses. Ended up doing that one last and even then it seemed like the game had it's own little private fuck you just for me. The final wave it was like they just went for me and ignored the damn emp so I had like 12 guys gunning for me at the same time and no place to hide.
Lumber Mill 3 gave me issues as well. I figured for sure I was going to have to wait until a friend came online for those 2 levels. Somehow I ended up getting them done on my own though. I really don't recommend that method though. It was so strange that none of my friends were not online at all on a Sunday. Dirty bastards! ha.
I hate Last Stand. Absolutely detest it. I have all the achievements except the Last Stand achievements.
Enemies instantly spot you and good luck running way because these are ton of them right behind you. Can't get past Banya 1...
Thanks for posting tips Tyger but I'm not getting anywhere.
Tyger, you are awesome. Thank you.

ATV Offroad Fury 4
Not quite as good as the PSP version.
Core to this unusual state of affairs is the fact that Climax has followed the current inexplicable trend in racing titles, choosing to clumsily crowbar a narrative into the main single-player mode. It's instantly forgettable and pretty much redundant in the context of the overall experience, and you can't help but be left wondering if the effort put into the atrocious cut-scenes couldn't have been diverted toward something else. This is possibly a victim of the fact that, in truth, we really don't need an annually iterated dirt-jumping game, and the inclusion of a story is as much to mark it out as being "different." While last year's ATV Offroad Fury 3 was far from perfect, its not like the PS2 was left desperately wanting for this kind of thing.
Thankfully, Fury 4 boasts some significant improvements and additions over previous iterations. Handling has been tweaked, and it feels a lot more natural than before. The brakes are no longer hypersensitive, and there's much more of a sense of applying power through tires that are desperately clawing for grip. There are four vehicle types (ATVs, MX bikes, trophy trucks, and buggies) and all of them slide around on the dirt surfaces in a really satisfying fashion. The buggies, in particular, provide a nicely heroic opposite lock sensation that evokes Sega Rally comparisons. Throw the thing into a corner, let the back end kick out, and gently dab the throttle to pull things around in a graceful arc. It's a thing of beauty when you get it just right.
Vehicle upgrades are more of a big deal than in last year's iteration, and it shares a lot with this year's PSP game. Win races to earn credits, and then buy any number of performance or cosmetic upgrades. While the effects aren't pronounced, you'll start to notice a difference as you pull away from the pack a little quicker from the starting line, or make bigger jumps and avoid the yawning chasms that some of the tracks throw at you.
Multiplayer modes are just as imaginative as in Fury 3, and there's reliable support for up to eight-player games. While races and freestyle modes are perfectly acceptable, they're pretty conventional fare and aren't the kind of thing that will make you want to rack up hours and hours on this thing. The real fun, though, is in the minigames. Anyone that played the hockey mode online in Fury 2 will pleased to know that it's joined by a host of similar ideas that, if played by a group of like-minded players prepared to not just mess around, are incredibly addictive.
As we mentioned in our coverage of ATV Offroad Fury Pro for PSP, it's possible to build tracks with a simple editor and pass them back and forth from system to system. The editor in Fury 4 is virtually identical to its counterpart on the handheld, and with some time and effort can yield highly playable results. If you've ever fallen under the spell of the similar application in the Tony Hawk games, you'll quickly take to the jigsawlike process involved. Our first effort, a lumpy mess of jumps and crazy corners moved effortlessly from PS2 to PSP via a USB cable, and was soon joined by more studied examples that were actually quite fun
As a game for a PS2 franchise to bow out on (it's unlikely we'll see another,) Fury 4 is certainly admirable, and doubtless the most full-featured. Long-term quad racing snobs will argue that it still doesn't match the glory of the early Rainbow Studio-developed games, but it certainly comes pretty darn close.

Pansy 'Tiger Eyes' F1 Hybrid
Viola x wittrockiana
This impressive Viola is no freak of nature, rather the result of an impressive breeding programme. Attractive old-gold petals are inlaid with intricate black veins, contrasting with the fresh, dark green foliage. Create an eyecatching display in borders or containers.

Number nerds, bookworms converge at Spelling Bee
HERNDON, Va. -- Some kids bite their nails. Jae Canetti recites pi -- to 131 digits.
This week, he will stand before a national audience and recite letters, not numbers. The sixth-grader from Reston, Va., will be one of the favorites when the three-day competition begins today at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Math might seem out of place at such an event. Smart people, at least according to conventional wisdom, are supposed either bookworms or number nerds. Not both.
But Jae and other spellers defy that notion. Jae made the semifinals two years ago at age 10.

Advice columnist Mrs. Griggs subject of new biography
Her Milwaukee Journal column started as advice for the lovelorn, but Ione Quinby Griggs and her legion of letter writers soon ventured into other topics and dilemmas of 20th century life in the Midwest, especially among women.
A new book, "Dear Mrs. Griggs: Women Readers Pour Out Their Hearts from the Heartland," traces Griggs' career from brash "girl reporter" in Chicago, through personal tragedy, and then an astounding 51 years of answering readers' personal questions on the back page of the Journal's Green Sheet. »Read Full Article(10)

The tour of the famed Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical — which also featured Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd as Judas and 'N Sync alum JC Chasez as Pontius Pilate — was set to hit 54 cities, beginning in New Orleans June 9.

We all want various gadgets for our homes to save time and for the food preparation to be quick and easy. Although there are numerous best food processor for dough available on the market, a few of them are truly good ones that would also last for a long time. In order to make a really good choice, you need to know what the processor is able to do for you and to decide on the features that you look for in such a machine. (Read: Things to know before you choose a food processor)
First, you need to check the power of the food processor for dough. A machine with low power will have difficulties in completing the difficult chores and the chances of motor burning out are higher. On the other hand, a powerful machine will easily and quickly complete most of the tasks. Very powerful motors are usually incorporated in heavy duty and more expensive food processors.
Regarding the attachments included with the machine, the more and more versatile attachments the better. The list of included attachment such as dough blade. It is good to have several attachments, but in most cases you will use only a few of them. Attachments can be optional extras or can be included as standards.
Is the dough food processor safe to use? Some of the inferior models will move around when they are in use and this can be dangerous. Also check that it has other safety features such as preventing the machine to be turned on if the bowl is not in place properly and also if the top is not locked down in the correct manner. Some of the cheaper models do not have these features which can also be dangerous,hence be keen to choose best food processor for dough.
Price is also important. However, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Thus, it is preferable to stay away from the cheapest dough food processor models.

To begin with, I am stay-at-home mom and sewing during my free time is probably one of the things I love doing the most; however, a few months ago my old sewing machine broke down and I had to stop sewing. I talked to my husband and a couple of my friends about the new changes and they recommended I get the best sewing machine.
I personally having had a not-so-good experience with a good number of sewing machines in the past, at first I was little bit skeptical about throwing away my old sewing machine, but after giving the whole thing some serious thoughts, I made up my mind and bought one. Now, it is over 5 months down the line and I am happy for what the machine I have now has done for me is unimaginable. To really give you a glimpse of how my sewing hobby has dramatically changed, here is a number of all the good things I have been able to net from my sewing machine.
First of all, is all about the features. On a rather interesting note, had my old sewing machine not broke down than, I wouldn't have known there were new and more sophisticated machines available right now. With the best sewing machine I have right now at home and thanks to an array of feature it comes with, I can now do an array of sewing work right a the comfort of my home than never before. That has not even been the only best part; everything has been made much easier for I no longer have to strain in order to do some great sewing work.
At the end really, I am happy I bought the best sewing machine. After all, not only can I now enjoy doing what I love doing the most, but it has in a way become a source of income for me. For example, over the last few weeks I have been doing some sewing work for a number of my friends and neighbors for a price and they are happy about it.
Now that children are no longer around, there is an empty room which we can convert into exercise room. I do understand his request because gyms are not exactly in our neighborhood. The gas charges to and fro the gym will more than cover the cost of the elliptical training machine. Yet, we need to pay that much upfront and recover the costs as time goes by. We could also be saving on medicals. I do see sense in going for it, because I am not able to go to gym and it is embarrassing to be there now with everything out of shape.
What am I expecting from this elliptical trainer? I want only four things from my elliptical trainer, and those four things are it should improve the strength in my legs, my spine, my arms, and make my belly go away. But aren't those the four things everybody is looking for. My husband, however, wants it for cardio as well. I told him, I need to see the elliptical trainer physically so that I would be sure that I can move those arms. After so many years of no exercise, I guess my arms may feel stiff and I may not move those arms at all. He agreed. We decided we would limit our spending to $1,000. We also wanted as many features as possible in our elliptical trainers.
This is because there were so many lists and reviews that we were thoroughly confused the first time. Both of us are short, so front drive elliptical trainer was what we were looking for. I liked the Schwinn 430. My husband was also delighted that this machine was not as expensive as we expected it to be. Eventually though we bought Schwinn 470, which is only about 100 dollars lesser than what we allocated for it but was available for more discount and had more features. I wish we had bought a smaller one. We were able to buy a mat as well so that our flooring was not ruined and were still left with some monies from initial allocation.
So what are special features in our elliptical trainer? We can define our goals, and it tells us how far we are falling back on the goal. The information can sent to the company's website with the USB drive for comparing the progress periodically. The second thing I liked about this equipment is that its flywheel moves smoothly. Therefore, there is no noise. My husband uses its port for charging his devices. He was keen on something at monitors his heart and he got that feature in here. I also liked the motorized ramp. I believe this is the right machine for me and in about six month's time, if I am regular, I would have improved my muscles considerably.
From the last 10 years, we have used an intex air mattress for our outing requirements so it should not surprise anybody that when we thought of buying one that can be used at home too. The reason I was keen to buy a good air bed was that of late we seem to be getting one guest too many, and I truly do not like using the couch for them. Of course, we do not have much room, so we really did not have much choice either.
We prepared a list of top Intex air mattresses to buy based on reviews from many sites. The list obviously is confined to our constraints. I wish to share this final list of two top Intex air mattresses so that anybody who is keen to buy an air mattress and is loyal to Intex brand, might find it useful for reducing the work.
On the top of my list is the Intex Deluxe Pillowrest raised comfort. I liked the dimensions of this air mattress. It is 82 inches in length and 64 inches in breadth. The height after inflating it is about 18 inches. There are two chambers actually because of which this air mattress reaches this height. This air mattress almost has a raised border, which I feel is good for children who tend to roll over. The upper surface is also flocked and feels like a natural fabric, even though it is not. This surface is also water proof, but most of the air mattresses available in the market have this feature. This Intex air mattress comes with 90 days manufacturer's warranty, which is not available for many other Intex air mattresses that I selected.
The second Intex air mattress that impressed me was the Intex Comfort Plush Queen. It is slightly shorter in length, i.e., 80 inches. Its breadth is 60 inches, which is less than that of the air bed I mentioned above. You might want to consider this one because this is the one I purchased, even though it is costlier and has only one chamber. The sales person mentioned that this mattress has a unique technology called Dura Beam. I hope this one will last and not stretch as promised. I purchased this one because it has soft material on sides as well. That ensures that the bed sheet you use on its remains in its place. It also has raised borders.
Both these mattresses come with in-built pumps which is a common feature in air mattresses nowadays. Both mattresses also fold neatly. The reason I selected the second one though I liked the first one is that the second mattress can withstand more weight, i.e., it is built to withstand 600 lbs.
My company owns a number of different business ventures in New York City. Most of these businesses are virtually unrelated. I cannot rate my company among the large conglomerates which own whole buildings in the city. However, I can say that it's doing well since it is able to run multiple unrelated businesses in NYC. You might believe that my company has to incur huge amounts in annual expenses to run the businesses. The truth is, I usually pay less than average for the things that make operating overheads in most businesses high. This includes office rent and employees.
Here's how I do it.
Five years ago, I decided to start a company that dealt with website design and website optimization services. I didn't have enough money to rent an office and opted to start off from my office. However, I lost a lot of clients for lack of a decent office. A friend of mine advised me to get a virtual office in New York City. It would allow me to meet clients in a professional setting as well as have other office goodies like dedicated address, receptionist and phone number. It also allowed me to concentrate on running the business from home and only use the virtual office when necessary.
The strategy worked almost immediately and I started getting more clients. Soon, I thought about starting other businesses upon which I could replicate this business strategy. Each year, over the past five years, my company has managed to start 7 new and successful businesses using this strategy.
Although I no longer work from home, using virtual offices has enabled my company operate different unrelated businesses on a shoestring budget. The rent rates I pay each year are significantly lower that the average rates for the city. I also get to have professionals such as receptionists work for me at surprisingly low rates.

The Toronto Marlies are becoming a great development team. They are coached by Dallas Eakins, who spent most of his life playing in the AHL. He also played for the Peterborough Petes for the wonderful coach and mentor Dick Todd.
The team has been both developing and acquiring a tremendous pool of talent. In the days before Brian Burke, the Marlies (and keeping talent) seemed to be a big failing of the club.
Now under the Burke management and the developmental eye of Dallas Eakins, the players are growing and becoming either players or prospects for the NHL.
With this talent pool the players are giving a push to find spots on the Leafs roster. Here are several of my favorite Marlies.

Experience Patrolling: Calgary Zone
A little late here, but if anyone in the Calgary area is interested in seeing what we do in the Ski/Board patrol, we're having an Experience Patrolling this weekend at Nakiska.
Here's the link to sign up: Join the Canadian Ski Patrol | CSP Calgary Zone
Lift tickets are discounted at $45 a piece, nachos and beverages on us after! I'll be one of the ones helping with the event, so it'd be great to have some boarders out to help me fight off the onslaught of two-plankers!
Let me know if you have any questions, and I can point you in the right direction...
Poutaten which Mountain do you patrol at ?
Do you guys accept fellow CSP's patrollers as Visitors ?
Checked with Whistler and they do not. Wondering if it's a Big Mountain kind of thing.
Woa writing like a telegraph...should go to bed 'stop'
Best to get in touch ahead of time. I have contacts for Nakiska, Lake Louise, Norquay and COP (and Fernie and Kicking Horse through the Nakiska guys). Let me know when you wanted to come out and I can hopefully steer you in the right direction.
I know our CSP ID gets us 50% off at Revelstoke and 25% off for our guests. No need to be in jacket.
Pretty sure you can guest patrol at other hills in full jacket and pack, although I think you need to be with a hill patroller at all times (as the radio call-outs are different, geography, etc.)
Norquay doesn't accept snowboard patrollers, but the rest do AFAIK.
Stop. :D

Seriously? Hell no that's what you should say! Her child will be in the NICU forever. Why does she want her child to be out so soon? No even that Castor Oil will work to "induce" her. I think you need to be ready to have the baby- Castor Oil doesn't work for many people. And in your friends case, I hope to god it doesn't!
That is way too early tell her no. Her baby is not ready to be born yet, full term is 38 weeks, I would never try that at 32 weeks.
Amari Makai born 09/04/09 full term!!!!!
I don't think it will even work if she's not ready. It'll probably just get her sick, dehydrated, and be a pain in her ass (litterally!) lol
Also, that is way to early.
My friend took it at 36w and thought it worked. She had painful contractions 4minutes apart, but when she went to L&D they told her it was just her stomach cramping. She was also dehydrated and they gave her something to stop labor.

Yeah I honestly would tell her to hold her horses. I am 38 weeks and dont plan on trying till I am 39 weeks (or a day or two prior) but Yeah I mean thats crazy
Stephie 22 GF to Joey 24 Mom to Vincent Pasquale Born October 19 On his due date, weighing 7lbs 4 oz at 20 inches with a full head of hair
that's awful! She is being very selfish to try and induce her baby at such a dangerous stage! I hope she comes to her senses, and if not then I hope the C/O does nothing but make her sick!
Show her how undeveloped her baby! You can find several websites (even BC) that show what else the baby has to develop over the next 10 weeks! That is soo dangerous and her baby WILL end up in the NICU!

THE WALLS of the rowhouse are bare, whiter than the snow on the stoop, but two friends inspired by a sad tale see a vivid future for the empty North Philly home.
Rusty Doll, 32, has been pouring his own money into the house, which he bought in 2012, doing work on the weekends with whatever help he can drum up from the neighborhood. His friend Lisa Sipes has been raising money and awareness about their plans, hoping to decorate the home with the intricate, handwoven quilts she makes for a living.

The Peace of Monsieur (whose name refers to the Duke of Anjou, who negotiated the agreement) ends the Fifth War of Religion in France. Its decrees were promulgated by the Edict of Beaulieu. Its terms grant the Huguenots freedom of worship in all places except Paris, and allow them to hold eight garrisons. The leaders of the Huguenot cause also benefit from the agreement: the Duke of Anjou gains estates in Anjou and Tourraine, and John Casimir of the Palatinate is rewarded with a royal pension. However, the Edict does not succeed in producing peace, because it provokes Henri of Lorraine, Duke of Guise, to form a Catholic League to try to overthrow the Huguenots.
