Fans might find it interesting to know that when the Horsemen sent the Randor sculpt months ago, they also attached a picture of the Burger King as well saying "seperated at birth..." so yeah, its been a running gag around here too...
We won't (alas) have Skeletor samples to send out before he goes on sale, but really the only change is to give him the tighter grip hand and looser loin cloth material. Otherwise he is the same fig in an update package with "The Original" burst just like He-Man. All reissues will have this burst.
And speaking of which, January should (hopefully) see a reissue of Beastman! ta da! There's some news for ya! Not every fig will get a reissue, but Beastman deserves some more sale time!

I think he looks great, far better than in the pictures.
awesome review dan! cant wait for the gg
It always takes me 10 minutes to figure out how to edit this signature
I want meteorbs dang nabbit!!!
Hey! Thoroughly enjoyed you review. I especially enjoy the comparosin segments. The BK ending with the food was great, also enjoyed the "Oh, Orko" music to accompany it. I call it that 'cuz that's the music they always play when Orko messes suttin' up at the end. Also, BK should give you some ad revenue.. cuz I'm 'bout ready to go after that!! haha
Horrible review... horrible figure.
Just kidding!!! RANDOR is awesome, like I knew he would be. Great review, DAN!
Odd Man Out
Dan, we need some Goddess review goodness like....really bad!
I probably am one of the few that likes this design of King Randor. He looks awesome. When I was a kid he was one of my favorite figures in the line. Kudos to the Horsemen once again for updating this figure.
Awesome!! Thanks for the review.
Awesome Review!
But I'd die if my MOTUC figures ever got BK grease on them...LOL.
Supporter of All Eras! Including "Son of He-Man"!
What an awful figure.
This is the first MOTUC I will be passing on. This is one time that the 4H should have incorporated a little more of the 200x design. The 80s figure was a goof, and this one is the same.
Sorry, 4H, it seems there actually IS a figure that you guys just cannot make look cool.
Only the Green Goddess for me in December.

I liked PD's review, it was as great as always.
I will get two Randors (subscription + extra), for these reasons:
* He is major/important character
* He looks great
* I had original
From all the characters that has been released in this line so far, this is the third one I also had, when I was a little boy. Other two are/were He-Man and Skeletor.

Letter: New technology reveals truths about the unborn
New technology reveals truths about the unborn
It was amusing to read the Oct. 12 letter, "Pro-lifers need to stop forcing beliefs on others." The writer, a physician, utilizes the pro-choice semantical magical wand to change the nature of a thing. Does he know that in Latin, "fetus" means "young one" or "offspring," a category that can be used quite far into the life cycle?
I used to think like the doctor until I discovered the medical specialty of fetology – the treatment of the unborn, which includes medication, transfusions and surgery. Then, the unborn is called the "second patient." That would be a person. What's the difference between an aborted young one and a "second patient"? The first is unwanted, the second is wanted. What's the scientific, medical or even ontological difference? None. This is not belief, religious or otherwise. It is fact.
The unborn learn language in the womb – they react to sound. When born, they recognize their mother's voice. Fact.
The doctor really should educate himself on the latest technology. View a 4-D ultrasound. Then perhaps, if he has an open mind, he will emerge from his uneducated "belief."

text: SV tries to stop Switzer, GW again By Rick Ryan October 4, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis GW's Ryan Switzer has run for 881 yards and 11 TDs through five games. What some might see as an opportunity, Spring Valley coach Brad Dingess views as an albatross - of sorts.For the third time in a little less than a year, Dingess and his Timberwolves (3-2) are preparing to go against George Washington (4-1) and speedy tailback Ryan Switzer. The two sides lock up at 7:30 tonight at Steve Edwards Sr. Field in South Hills.Since they've already gone against Switzer twice and realize what doesn't work, might the Wolves try a different approach this time? A new wrinkle or two in the defensive game plan?In a word, no."I don't know if that's a good thing that you've got to defend him that many times,'' Dingess said. "I'd rather not be playing against him again.''Last year, Switzer and the Patriots conquered Spring Valley twice. In the regular-season game, Switzer carried 19 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns (15 and 53 yards) as GW won 39-20.Then, in the first round of the Class AAA playoffs, GW earned a 42-7 victory as Switzer broke off scoring runs of 48, 47 and 55 yards. He finished with 169 yards on just nine attempts."I don't know if you can contain him or whatever,'' Dingess said. "You want to limit his big plays. You know he'll get two, three a game. You can't let him have five, six like he normally gets a game. He's going to get his touches and get his plays. You want to make sure the other people on the team don't beat you.''Spring Valley comes into the contest riding a three-game winning streak and holds the distinction of being the last Mountain State Athletic Conference team to beat GW. The Timberwolves won 24-21 in overtime in 2009 at Edwards Field. (GW built a 27-game regular-season winning streak before falling to Ashland, Ky., in September). "It's turned into a pretty good little rivalry,'' said GW coach Steve Edwards Jr. "They're always physical, and it should be a nice game to watch.''The game also carries intrigue since it pits perhaps the top two candidates for the Huff Award as the state's best defensive player of the year - first-team all-state linebackers Elijah Wellman of Spring Valley and Dustin Crouser of GW. Each has committed to a Division I program - Wellman to West Virginia and Crouser to Charlotte."They're definitely the two best linebackers in the conference,'' Dingess said, "but there's going to be a lot of good players on that field Friday night. If people don't know what game they want to go to, a lot of them should decide to come to this one.''Wellman, like Crouser a fullback on offense, has seen his stats surge during the Wolves' three-game win streak, as he's averaged 217 yards rushing and two TDs over the last three games."There will be some Division I talent on the football field that will get noticed,'' Edwards said. "Our kids know who their players are, They know Elijah, and they know that kid's a good football player. He brings a challenge for anybody to stop him, and certainly we have to slow him down. He's a big, strong kid who runs well. Our kids have to know where he's at and put a shoulder pad on him. I hope they feel the same way about our young man.''Dingess, whose team came off a bye week before last Friday's 48-21 win at Greenbrier East, thinks GW has a bit of an advantage in that it's coming off its bye week to face the Wolves. Essentially, it's two weeks to prep for one opponent. "I would say yes,'' Dingess said. "I know we came off our bye week against Greenbrier East, and our kids knew everything they were going to do. They'd come out and line up [on offense] and our kids were screaming out the plays. Coach Edwards does a good job with his kids, so I know they'll be ready, too.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pendant Lights are an ideal way to brighten any part of your home. With a variety of sizes to match any lighting need and styles to match any decor you're sure to find a pendant you love. Large pendants for entryways and larger dining rooms match and often exceed the elegance of chandeliers in similar settings with their large sweeping lines and modern dispositions. Nook pendants are great for smaller dining areas, home offices, and bedrooms; they provide excellent overhead light much more fashionably that any flush-mount ceiling light ever could. Mini pendants make excellent kitchen island/counter lighting as well as other task specific locations. The small focused light adds highlights to your decor and can help bring focus to areas where a little light goes farthest, like reading lights over your sofa, recliners, or even your bed!

Ignorance of digital dangers puts consumers at risk
Technology users are putting themselves at risk by ignoring how their personal information is being stored and the potential security risks that go hand in hand with digital devices.
This is the conclusion of a round table panel of security experts put together by hosting company UKFast. According to the panel the buzz of social media and the ever-evolving digital scene has created an ignorant culture of technology consumers.
Panelist Hugh Boyes from the Institution of Engineering and Technology at the University of Warwick, believes consumers need to realize exactly what their device is capable of, and precisely what information it holds. "People don't understand exactly what these devices can do. Take a fitness band, for example. The product isn't actually the wristband; it's the data that is inside it. Yet no one is aware of this. The internet is everywhere, and so in turn, we give our personal information out everywhere. Things like social media, loyalty cards and GPS tracking for instance -- these things all require our personal information. No one hesitates in giving it away if it means being able to use a particular app".
This giving away of information is driven by a culture of convenience says Robert Fuller, director of Innevate, "Because things often seem to happen seamlessly, it doesn't lend itself to people having to think about what processes are involved".
This is echoed by Lawrence Jones, CEO of UKFast, "People are obsessed with speed and usability -- the faster and easier they can achieve something, the better. Even if that means storing your card details, passwords and personal details in the same place or using the same password for everything. It may be more convenient but it's significantly less secure".
Zain Hyed, director of security at Hybrid believes if consumers understood the risks, they would take greater care when handing out their personal details, "After all the Heartbleed media coverage, only 4 in 10 people actually changed their passwords. You'd expect everyone to change their passwords just to make sure they were secure, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. It's the culture we are living in today -- no one understands the dangers".
The panel offers a number of tips for consumers to ensure that they stay secure. These are:
* Make sure that you install all patch updates and keep your software up to date.
* Have different passwords for each account, then if hackers get old of one password they can't access your other data.
* Use long passwords, numbers/symbols and full phrase passwords are most effective.
* Read the news -- find out if any services or companies you use been hacked and what you need to do about it.
* Find out where your data is stored and how safely before trusting an organization with your information.
Videos of this and previous round table discussions can be found on the UKFast.tv website.

Early Thursday afternoon, I received a text from my mom, a text I never thought I'd get from her.
"John bad accident"
John is my brother, my big and only brother. He was home from college this week so he could spend time with his fraternity brothers, and he was on his way to meet some when an accident occurred.
A lost woman missed the stop sign at the busy intersection between a highway and the county road she was driving on. My brother's vehicle was broadsided on the driver's side and rolled into a ditch and onto its roof.
Thankfully, John was wearing his seat belt. Rescue crews had to use the jaws of life to get him out of the vehicle. He was transported by ambulance to a hospital. His injuries could have been worse, much worse, but they're still pretty bad.
It's too soon to know how long my brother's recovery will take, and whether he will need surgery. I am most thankful for the fact that my brother will be okay once he's had some time to heal. Although I may not get along with him, and we don't talk that much, I am glad he's still around to be my big brother.
To the people who choose not to wear a seat belt, if John hadn't he could have more bones broken than what he has right now, or he could be dead, and instead of visiting him in the hospital I would be standing next to my parents and sister celebrating and remembering his life at his funeral.
This year my family is thankful for the invention of seat belts, and the men and women who contributed in getting my brother out of his car, into an ambulance, at the hospital where he was stabilized, and the hospital where he is currently recuperating.
If everything heals properly, the doctors expect to release my brother from the hospital on Monday or Tuesday.
What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Lavezzi waiting on move news
Ezequiel Lavezzi claims to be in the dark when it comes to the finer details of his proposed move to PSG, but has thanked Napoli for launching his career.
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 24/06/12 4:31pm
Ezequiel Lavezzi claims to be in the dark when it comes to the finer details of his proposed move to Paris St Germain, but has thanked Napoli for launching his career.
The Argentine playmaker has been hot property for some time and it has come as no surprise to learn that he is close to completing a big-money switch.
Wealthy French outfit PSG are the ones to have stumped up the cash, with their ambitious owners prepared to dig deep in order to secure the services of world-class performers.
No agreement has been pushed through as yet, though, and Lavezzi says he does not know when the paperwork will be completed.
He is, however, destined to be turning out in Ligue 1 next season and has taken the opportunity to pay tribute to Napoli and the role they have played in moulding him into one of European football's most sought-after talents.
"I don't know a lot of details," Lavezzi told Il Mattino.
"Negotiations are being managed by my agent.
"Naples will always hold a special place in my heart and I have great affection for the people.
"Napoli launched me and gave me a lot of international visibility."

How we think the fight will go
Welcome to 300th annual Post-Apocalyptic Person of the Galaxy pageant. I am your host, Evelyn Endtimes. This pageant is species and gender neutral. That means any living sentient being can win. The winner of this competition will walk away with one temporal vortex jump, a lifetime pass to Risa, and the broadcasting of their message across the known galaxies.
Before we start, a little history for our newest viewers. The Post-Apocalyptic Person of the Galaxy is an annual intergalactic event that is run by the Federations of Donald Trump. Along with the Miss Old Earth, Miss Colonies, Miss Milky Way, Miss Federation, Miss Nonhuman Species and various other Miss Planetary contests, this pageant is one of the four largest beauty pageants in the universe. The winner of this competition goes on to represent the title at the Universal Life Form competition.
The contest was first founded in 2120 on Old Earth. It was started to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the environmental disaster known as Melting of the Poles. Godfrey Synthetics established a similar pageant on the satellite colony of New California in 2252. The two pageants were acquired and combined by the Donald Trump X in Twenty-third Century of Old Earth time.
Tonight we will be presenting the top contestants for the title of Post-Apocalyptic Person of the Galaxy after this commercial break brought you by Emperor Palpatine II of the New Galactic Republic.
We are back, ladies, gentlemen, and others! It has been an amazing night! All our contestants deserve high praise and let's offer a round of applause for the various displays of skill and talent that have been performed on this stage. After the swimsuit, linguistic assessment, weapon demonstration, cultural dance, eveningwear, survival games, and talent portions, two contestants have risen to the top. Their scores have them competing for the title. I am please to present Robert Neville and Sonmi-451!
Let's welcome Robert and Sonmi to the interview portion of the night. You have both been doing very well. This part of the evening is easy. All you have to do is help the judges and galactic audience know who you are. There are no right or wrong answers. We just want to get to the heart of you. Let's begin!
I am pretty old-fashioned, Robert. So please forgive me when I say, Ladies first! Sonmi-451, you have an interesting backstory. Would you like to share it with the audience?
Sonmi: I am a genetically engineered fabricant from Neo Seoul. I used to live a compliant life of servitude as a server at a fast food restaurant. Until one day, Yoona, one of my fellow fabricants, shared with me a glimpse of a world outside the restaurant. After she was killed for hitting a costumer that was abusing her, Commander Hae-Joo Chang rescued me from captivity. He is a member of a rebel movement known as "Union." He smuggled me to a residence above ground where he exposes me to the larger world. Thus beginning my awakening.
Evelyn: Wow, that sounds like some adventure. Robert, tell the audience little about you.
Robert: My name is Robert Neville. I am a survivor living in New York City. I was a virologist and lieutenant colonel in United States Armed Force.
Evelyn: Hmmm… A lieutenant colonel, a doctor and a very fine specimen of the human male. Aren't you impressive! Tell me, Robert, what is your favorite movie?
Robert: I like Shrek … the first one.
Evelyn: O.K. Let's turn to Sonmi-451. What's yours?
Sonmi-451: The Ghastly Ordeals of Timothy Cavendish. It's the first movie I ever saw. It exposed me to the ideas of rebellion and liberation.
Evelyn: I haven't heard of either those movies, but they both sound wonderful. Let's see if we can dig a little deeper. Remember: the judges want the juicy bits. What are your hobbies?
Robert: Golf, hunting Dark Seekers, testing my immunity, and hanging out with my mannequin friends.
Evelyn: Very exciting stuff! (Evelyn smirks into the lens) Sonmi-451?
Sonmi-451: I spend time thinking about the nature of our immoral lives and listening to Hae-Joo's heartbeat while he's sleeping.
Evelyn: Aren't you the ambitious heartbreaker! Time for things to get serious. What has been the most significant accomplishment in your life?
Sonmi-451: My most significant accomplishment in my life is myself. Who and what I am now. I am the product of my past lives, consequences of words and deeds, and the sacrifice of many. These things made me into who I am now.
Robert: My greatest accomplishment was my family, but my work has kept me going. I believe the vaccine trials will lead to a cure. I'm still unable to transfer my immunity to the infected hosts. The Krippen Virus is elegant, but I can fix this. I save everyone by reversing the lethal mutation that has turned most humans on the planet into devolved, aggressive creatures known as the Dark Seekers. I am determined to do this. I might be the only one who can.
Evelyn: Robert, I sense so much pain in your words, this leads me to my next question: If you have a magic wand, what is the one thing you would ask for, and why?
Robert: I would ask for my family. I simply want to be with them.
The camera zooms in on Robert's face. He looks so sad and broken. Sonmi-451 walks into the frame and takes his hand. He turns and looks at her.
Sonmi-451: If I had a magic wand, then I would make a wish for the betterment of all life. All I would wish for is just one simple word – understanding. Understanding that our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future. What future do you want to birth, Robert-san?
The camera pulls back to show Robert looking into Sonmi-451's eyes. She lets go of him and forms butterfly wings with her hands. The pained look on his face shifts into a sad smile. "Marley" is whispered. He nods to Sonmi-451 and turns back to face the audience.
Evelyn: Look at that, folks. (Evelyn smiles into the camera.) Ok, things are getting really serious in here, but bear with us. The two of you are doing amazing. Assuming you are crowned as Post-Apocalyptic Person of the Galaxy, what do you think your role would be?
Sonmi-451: Assuming I am crowned as Post-Apocalyptic Person of the Galaxy, I would be spokesperson for the "Union," and a voice for the oppressed. As the crown holder, it will give me a platform from which to spread the message. I will be an ambassador of goodwill, be a role model of the revelation, and last but not the least, an epitome of change – symbolizing that we are all connected.
Evelyn: Wow! How do you plan to manage all that?
Sonmi-451: I have Hae-Joo and the other members of the Union. Together we will spread the message that no matter if we're born in a tank or a womb or of virulent disease, we are all Pureblood.
Robert, Sonmi has set a standard. But I have faith you will have a great answer for this question: What bothers you the most about your planet today?
Robert: There were seven billion people on Earth when the infection hit. KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that's five point four billion people dead. Crashed and bled out. Less than one-percent had the immunity. That left twelve million healthy people, like me. The other five hundred and eighty-eight million turned into Dark Seekers, and then they got hungry and they killed and fed on everybody. Everybody! Every *single* person that you or I has ever known is dead! But if I stay at Ground Zero and focus on the vaccine, it will save the human race. I can save them.
Evelyn: Okay, seems that question pushed a button. Maybe we should focus on a more positive question. What advice do you have for the aspiring survivor/revolutionary?
Sonmi: To be is to be perceived and so to know thyself is only possible through the eyes of the other. Remember the consequences of an individual's life ripple through eternity and death is only a door. When it closes, another opens.
Robert: Bob Marley said it best, but I will paraphrase. The people who are trying to make this world worse are not taking a day off, so how can you. Light up the darkness.
Well, my fellow life forms, those are some inspiring answers. Sonmi-451, Robert, you both have had some great things to say and performed admirably. You each represent the eternal themes that impact this mad, mad universe. You both have seen war, survival, and revolution. Your words here today will be your legacies win or lose.
You have made it hard for those judges to pick a winner, but it's now in their hands. May the gods and the force be with them.
Predicted Winner: Sonmi-451

The application period for the 2017-2018 Parents Reaching Out (PRO) Grants program is now closed.
Applicants will be notified by email about the result of their application.
Achieving Excellence: A Renewed Vision for Education in Ontario, 2014 recognizes and acknowledges that parents are a key part of their children's learning and of Ontario's success in education, and encourages a wide range of opportunities for parent, guardian and caregiver engagement in their children's learning.
Ontario's PRO Grants are designed to support parents in identifying barriers to parent engagement in their own community and to find local solutions to involve more parents in support of student achievement and well-being.
Since 2006, the government has supported over 19,500 PRO Grants to school councils and 799 regional/provincial PRO Grants. This is a total investment of nearly $31 million to help increase parent engagement at the local, regional, and provincial levels.
There are two types of grants:
Approved school council projects and regional/provincial projects for 2016-17 are listed below.

|Study Start Date:
|April 1999
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 2003
Approximately 800 deployed and 250 nondeployed veterans were originally administered psychological assessment instruments shortly after the cessation of the Gulf War. These veterans are currently being followed to evaluate longer-term psychological outcomes in relation to war-zone stress, intervening life stress, and individual difference factors and personal resources, such as coping and social support.
Approximately 75 of these veterans, oversampled for post-traumatic stress disorder, were administered a specialized neuropsychological battery emphasizing attention and memory. This sample will also be followed to evaluate longitudinal neuropsychological outcome in relation to PTSD status.
A cross-sectional study will also be conducted examining visual, hierarchical attention in relation to PTSD diagnosis.

Casino deal works for dice and 'Mice'
Auckland economic development boss Brett O'Riley has a "very excited convention bureau team" on his hands, following the green light this past week from the auditor-general on the SkyCity national convention centre project.
O'Riley, who heads the city's Tourism, Events and Economic Development body (Ateed), says building a convention centre to host large-scale events is a key plank of Auckland Council's 10-year visitor plan.
Ateed is very clear about its targets - to grow the visitor economy from $3.33 billion in 2010 to $6b by 2021, a 5.5 per cent annual growth rate or 80 per cent over the decade.
O'Riley concedes these are ambitious numbers that are already running behind thanks to the political shenanigans surrounding casino operator SkyCity's bid to build the $350 million convention centre.
The auditor-general has dismissed allegations the Government gave SkyCity an unfair advantage in bidding for the job, but raised concerns about the process used.
Ateed's Auckland Convention Bureau is tasked with prospecting around the world for conferences to bring to the city.
"We've been itching to get some certainty around the process, because there's nothing worse for our team to be out there at these events internationally and not be able to talk about availability," O'Riley says.
In the past year Auckland has lost out on two major events because of its lack of facilities - one was the 9000-delegate world congress of anaesthesiologists in 2020, worth $37m to the local economy.
"The fact that we couldn't definitely confirm that a national convention centre would be built was a leading factor in losing the bid," he says.
What development bosses desire is Mice visitors - those coming for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions - because of their much higher value. Ateed's research shows Mice tourists spend an average $365 a night, compared with leisure visitors who spend just $200.
A 2009 feasibility study on a convention centre by international hospitality consultants Horwath, done for the Auckland City Council and the Government, says there was 6.7 per cent growth in international conferences between 1999 and 2008, and even greater growth in the Asia Pacific region.
New Zealand has punched above its weight in attracting smaller conferences, but in order to make the most of the industry it needs a venue capable of hosting events averaging 3500 delegates, it said.
A new convention centre could attract an average 35 conferences a year, allowing it to operate on a break-even cashflow basis.
It would bring in 22,000 additional international visitors a year and add $85.4m in tourism-related expenditure to the economy.
SkyCity has claimed a convention centre would attract 350,000 to 400,000 high-spending conference delegates each year, spending an average of $650 per day.
The Horwath study is at odds with a paper from Washington DC's Brookings Institution on convention centres as an economic development tool. The report was written in 2005 and from a US perspective, but gives pause for thought.
Author Professor Heywood Sanders said the overall convention marketplace had been declining since 2000 due to trends including client industry consolidation, cuts in business travel, and alternative means of sharing information.
However, cities, often with state assistance, had "continued a type of arms race with competing cities to host these events".
The decision to invest in the facilities was based on a "if you build it, they will come" assumption. But demand for the space was not keeping pace with its growing supply and many US convention centres operated at a loss, Sanders said.
Market watchers say it is difficult to estimate the business case for SkyCity building a national convention centre because no specific details of the project have yet been provided.
Morningstar analyst Nachi Moghe took a stab at the numbers in a research report last May.
Key to his figures is any deal SkyCity does with the Government over more pokies and gaming tables and an early extension of its casino licence in exchange for building the centre.
An extension of its licence beyond its current 2021 renewal date would provide cashflow certainty over the long term and please the firm's bondholders, and it would make SkyCity more attractive from a takeover perspective, Moghe said.
But the "biggest benefit by far" would come from a growth in gaming revenue.
If SkyCity gets 500 more gaming machines and 20 more tables it would mean an additional $41m in gaming revenue a year, Morningstar estimated.
The convention centre including additional car parks was likely to contribute an extra $10m in pre-tax earnings.
There would also be increased hotel, food and beverage and Sky Tower ticket sales, "but we think the contribution is unlikely to be material", Moghe wrote.
The benefit of the extra gaming facilities would push SkyCity's value up between 65-70 cents per share or 15 per cent. SkyCity shares were trading on Friday at around $4.04.
Despite the economic development benefits espoused by local and central government wallahs, it would appear the viability of a convention centre rests on whatever agreement SkyCity can reach over additional gambling facilities.

Earth Ocean Farms: a vertically integrated fish farming company
using advanced technology and innovative solutions in offshore aquaculture.
Earth Ocean Farms (EOF) is a marine fish farming company located in the Sea of Cortez, near La Paz, in Baja California, Mexico. We operate a hatchery and an offshore site farm with 84 hectares of water surface for several species of temperate-water marine fish. In conjunction with sister company Ocean Farm Technologies (OFT), we also test and develop advanced offshore farming equipment.
EOF and OFT are part of Baja Aquaculture, Inc, a management company dedicated to the development, building, and marketing of innovative and integrated farming systems for marine fish worldwide.
Operations & Technology
In 2011, Earth Ocean Farms started operations growing high potential aquaculture species in the technologically innovative Aquapod™ cages, invented by Ocean Farm Technologies. Operations include all the required permitting, a dive team, biologists, and relationships with companies and government institutions. A solid infrastructure from which to grow into larger operations. EOF's hatch to harvest model will overcome major challenges and will act as a pole of development for marine aquaculture in the region.
Knowing that the lack of an adequate fingerling supply has been the major bottleneck for aquaculture in the region, Earth Ocean Farms is developing a hatchery for marine finfish native to the Sea of Cortez. This hatchery is a joint venture with our partners at Grupo Mahr.
With its ongoing hatchery operation, Earth Ocean Farms intends to satisfy its own demand and supply third parties interested in growing native species like the totoaba, Totoaba macdonaldi (a local type of sea bass) and the Pacific Red Snapper- Lutjanus peru.

Michigan Senate OKs Common Core education standards
Thu, 24 Oct 2013 16:49:34 GMT —
The Michigan Senate has agreed to let the state continue implementing more rigorous and uniform education standards known as Common Core.
The Senate on Thursday approved a resolution authorizing state spending on the standards with a voice vote. That allowed hesitant majority Republicans to OK the standards without taking a recorded roll call vote.
The new national math and reading standards have become contentious since their adoption by the state education board three years ago. The measure now goes to back to the House, which approved an earlier version last month.
The standards demand critical thinking and problem solving that backers say will move Michigan away from giving kids a surface-level education. But critics question the benchmarks and associated tests, calling them an intrusion into local control of public schools.

I'm finding it hard to handle ds (4) current loud, physical phase. He is a dinosaur, or a lion and he has to roar in my face, pretend to eat me, etc. which is fine to a point but he won't stop. I'll ask him nicely, ask him firmly, lay out a consequence, etc. nothing helps. Eventually I'll put him in his room because I can't bear it any more which seems extreme but gentler measures don't work. He does it with other kids and adults too. Most of them don't like it either. I'm feeling a little sensitive at the moment and it honestly feels like an assault. He is so loud and in your face. I do try to play along with him and join in the game, either being the victim 'oh no, don't eat me!' or roaring back but that seems to make him over excited and silly and ends up with one of us, usually me, getting hurt. I'm sure this is just a phase, and it's not actually typical of him overall but until he grows out of it I have to find a way to handle it. I tried to talk to him at bed time as he'd hurt me earlier (accidentally) and I wanted him to understand that if someone says stop then you have to stop but he just said 'I won't stop'. He's very stubborn. My husband thinks he's just being naughty but I'm trying to figure out why he is doing it. What's he trying to get from it? Unfortunately, neither me or dh are the rough housing, wrestling types so maybe that is what he's looking for. Is this a typical 4 year old boy thing? By the way, it's not just the roaring. There's a lot of other noises, running, jumping, thumping, screaming, spinning, etc. it's just that the roaring in my face is the one I'm having the most trouble handling. The rest only makes me anxious because the neighbours have started to complain. He also does lot of little irritating things like poking his fork into the table and pulling his sisters hair when my back's turned. Any advice or 'this too shall pass' anecdotes welcome. Thanks
Sounds like my 4 year old. I have to get pretty mean with him every now and then. Sometimes I get him involved in cooking or something else I'm doing. Does he get to play with other kids? Extended play, running around outside with peers really calms him down for a few days.
you can say things like, "I don't like that. It hurts my ears, or scares me, or whatever. Stop!" If he continues, give him a choice of stopping or going in another room by himself but try to remain calm about it. If he doesn't explicitly choose but does it again, say, "I see you have chosen to go in another room to play by yourself," and take him to that room.
You can always remove yourself. Go to your bedroom and shut the door. Yeah, I know he may follow you and bang on the door and make all kinds of ruckus so that won't work. That's what my 4yo does. He just follows me if I try to leave.
It's tough. It's an ongoing thing. He will continue to behave that way until he grows out of it or finds another way to express himself. He will probably never grow out of the high energy.
SAHM to 3 boys and 1 man; 22 , 9, 5 and now 1 year old!
make sure he is getting plenty of active play every day. I have 5 boys ages 3-11 so mama I can soooo relate!!! (rainy days make me wanna cry cuz I know the active level is ging to be nuts indoors!) Get him involved in anything to get the energy out. set up obstacle course outside, play kickball with him, let him throw bean bags, etc..... We have a firm rule as far as walking feet inside and talking voices inside. If they cant obey I get their jacket on, bring them out and remind them outside is where we run, jump, yell, etc.... I allow them a few minutes to let off steam and then firmly tell them its now time to calm down and come back in. I actually set my youngest 2 boys bed straight on the floor (no frame) and moved all furniture away and I allow them to jump on it all day long if they want. If yu react to his noise, energy, annoances in an aggravated way he is most certainly ging to feed off that and be worse. (I always love the parent who YELLS "BE QUIET!!! NO YELLING!!! CALM DOWN!!!" Im pretty sure if an adult elled at me like that it wuld get my adrenaline surging. lol) But be FIRM, matter of fact. If he pokes with a fork, tell him "If you do that again I will take the fork away because that hurts." If he does it, take it away. Explain he can have it back if he uses it prperly. Praise him when he DOES sit patiently or uses his fork properly, etc... as lng as he has an utlet for his energy, he is old enough to learn to respect boundaries and rules. Patience though, mama! It takes time. Plus I find boys are definitly wired with excess energy! :)
Thanks. This is really helpful. I need to find more ways for him to get his energy out indoors. I was thinking maybe a balance board or one of those wobbly bucket seats, I forget their name. A yoga ball might be good too. He only has a mattress (he broke his bed frame jumping from the dresser on to the bed and he also broke his curtain rail twice by swinging from the curtains but thats another story) so I could get him to jump on that too. One of the problems is that he really craves a social outlet as well as a physical one so he's not really interested in doing all these things on his own. Luckily his baby sister is pretty feisty so I think the day is coming when she will be a big help.
My 4yo takes Tae Kwon Do and I am planning to enroll him in either gymnastics or dance. I thought gymnastics but he's actually asked for dance so I'll have to see what I can find.

Maybe check out The Art of Roughhousing by Larry Cohen
I would also say it is a typical 4 year old thing and not in anyway limited to "boys." There isn't a day at my ds's preschool that the kids are lions, wildcats, monsters, or just simply roaring children.
In our family (and at ds's school) we work with an idea called "safe body." It's like a safe word/ off-switch to the game. If someone says "safe body" or "stop" then the other person(s) need to respect that and stop. Also the teachers at ds's school will sometimes tell the kids "safe body" which means they are doing something unsafe with their bodies and need to resume a "safe body." (This could be playing too rough, climbing too high, spinning too fast etc). I try to really model this for ds, so if we are tickling him and he's laughing as soon as he says "stop" I stop. Then sometimes we'll talk about it like, "remember when I was tickling you and you said 'stop?' Well, I stopped right away because you were telling me you did not like what was happening to your body. I need you to do the same thing if I tell you to stop doing something to my body. etc"
My DS (4 yrs) gets like this, and I tell DH that DS needs some roughhousing. *I* don't love roughhousing; I have a bad back and I'm pregnant. I will do SOME activities like chase, but DH is the one who is the roughhouser. SOOOO necessary. Also called rough-and-tumble play in the literature -http://www.fira.ca/article.php?id=151. Flanders did an intervention group with fathers and young boys (who all had bad behavior in the classroom, and not-so-great relationships with their dads, as it turned out). Watch the video of Joseph Flanders talk, "Rough-and-Tumble Play and the Cooperation-Competition Dilemma: Evolutionary and Developmental Perspectives on the Development of Social Competence"
Here is a direct link to a video of his talk, if the link works -- . I think the intervention they did (group therapy where each father-boy pair had a chance to roughhouse during the session) was AMAZING. I wish all boys had this relationship with their dad. (or mom)
DS, 10/07. Allergies: peanut, egg, wheat. We've added dairy back in. And taken it back out again. It causes sandpaper skin with itchy patches and thrashing during sleep. Due w/ #2 late April, 2012.
Great advice. I love the "safe body" idea and the Art of Roughhousing link.
I have a little bit of a different situation. My ds is 4 and is rough and tumble at home with me, DH and DS2 but in school he "does not stand up for himself" (teacher's words) and is very intimidated. Is this normal? I was really concerned and called the pediatrician because I'm afraid of low self-esteem.
Does anyone have any advice / experiences like this?
We have some experience with this--- at 4 years old, my son found it really hard to sit still and needed to run, jump, climb, vocalize, and go crazy. I think much of this was typical. As children grow and become more familiar with their bodies and capabilities, pushing physical limits to the max (whether in strength, sound, or energy) can seem like the "logical" thing to them. But your DS is also pushing boundaries, because when you ask him to stop he continues. With my son, it seemed like he "couldn't" stop no matter how we asked/what we tried. (We later learned that he's in the autism spectrum, and recognizing facial expressions/understanding people's reactions is a challenge for him.)
My kids are older, and these days we use a couple of strategies. 1) Outside voices or outside behavior belong outside. FULL STOP. I have to be careful to distinguish getting a little silly or rowdy (which we all do in winter!) with behavior that we don't want; usually the clincher is if I've asked for it to stop and it does not. I begin laying out coats, shoes, etc in a very deliberate and determined way, and I have bundled them up kicking and screaming and sent them outside. I always offer alternatives--- "If you want to play inside, we will ..." (draw a map, get out a game, etc). 2) People only have to ask once. Saying "stop" one time is enough. If things don't stop the first time, immediate removal is necessary. Yes, this will result in some tantrums, but consistency is the only solution here. 3) We use the phrase "make safe choices" to underscore the fact that they can choose what to do and *always* have a choice, and when we need to separate them it's not because someone didn't listen, but because s/he needs to "get control of their body." Until the shouting/running/craziness stops, and breathing slows, and heartbeats return to normal, this person is not going to interact with others.
This may seem pretty harsh, but we have developed a family understanding of expectations. For example, if I feel like I'm getting frustrated, I'll announce that I need to get control of my body/temper and go on a walk or drink a glass of water upstairs. I try to model removing myself from situations to reinforce the idea that this is often the best plan. Getting kids to respect boundaries, remove themselves, and go calm down is a looooong process! This is what works for our family, but only after a lot of really ridiculous trail and error and not knowing what was going on. The seeds you plant today will pay off when your child is older, so think about the values you want to instill (probably respect and safety, since "being quiet" is unfortunately not a value we can teach kids) and how to express them in your family's philosophy. On the one hand, "this too shall pass." On the other hand, only if you guys can agree on an approach that suits you. Good luck!
Craving simplicity! (Also, craving samosas.)

"Our real choice is between holy and unholy madness: open your eyes and look around you -- madness is in the saddle anyhow." ---Norman Brown, philosopher
Thanks everyone. My initial problem (him being too rough with me) has actually improved. I've been trying to do more rough housing play with him which he loves and I've noticed my husband trying to do more too. We're still have issues with the excess energy and not listening though. He does get a lot of outdoor play, swimming and gym time. The trouble is when we're home and can't be outside (like first thing on a weekend morning). He stomps and runs and jumps and then the neighbour bangs on the wall. We've started letting him watch TV which is not only against our values but makes him more hyped up later but at least the neighbours won't hate us and we aren't yelling at our kid for just being a 4 year old. In a few weeks we will have access to our basement (lodger leaving) so hopefully he can be noisy down there without the sound carrying so badly. I think I'll start looking on craigslist for some suitable equipment we could put down there.

ALUM.-ONLY List of Attendees' Names_ rev. 6-26-09======================================
Janis (Myers) Sproat has told me she wants to send a letter to KPC Media (which includes the Star in Auburn) listing all former students who attended our June 13 reunion.To avoid confusion, this list includes ONLY actual alumni from E.R., W.R. and Corunna. (NOTE: 69 ACTUAL ALUMNI.)I have on file the original sign-in sheets, along with a typed "working list" that includes spouses, etc., for our future reference.Some of the handwriting was VERY hard to read, but I think, after making some phone calls and rehashing everything, we now have the listings correct. HOWEVER, we'd appreciate your giving this list a quick once-over.If there were any actual ALUMNI there who are not listed on the attached doc. (and also copied below), PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY because I believe Janis wants to get this info to the press ASAP. Thanks.--BOB FRIEND

Fast forward to the way you feel just after that big holiday meal. You have consumed a couple of helpings of your favorite dishes and maybe even a slice of pie. You are full. You wore your stretchy pants and dread getting onto the scales after consuming so many rich foods.
You could do like me and figure out a way to trick the scales into thinking you really didn't overindulge that much. This is my pre-Holiday tip for those of you with lots of hair: rock a new "do" for the holidays.
The back story is that I have very thick hair and up until last night it was a little past my shoulders and overdue for cut and color. I never book my hair appointments in advance because I've always just lived with it until I just can't live with it anymore.
And yesterday, I just couldn't live with it anymore.
So here you go - my step-by-step guide on how to lose a few pounds before the big feast:
- A few weeks leading up to the Holiday, begin to notice the grey hairs that are multiplying on your head because you have been too busy to book an appointment with your hair stylist.
- Make a note to set up a hair appointment.
- Wait a couple of weeks.
- Finally try to set up an appointment with your friend and hairdresser THE WEEK OF THE HOLIDAY.
- Don't be shocked when she says that she is pretty booked up. Be resigned to the fact that the grays will have to wait a couple of weeks. Hope that nobody else notices.
- Later that day, try to hold back the tears when your sweet daughter asks why your hair is "glimmery - just like tinsel" and simply tell her thank you.
- Text hair stylist one last time. Yep. She's pretty booked.
- Have a moment of vanity and remember your friend who just had her hair cut into a cute style by a different stylist in town. Your beauty can't wait. You have to do this. Today is the day.
- Hold back the guilty feelings and contact the other stylist. It isn't cheating on your friend/hair stylist. It's only just this one time. It won't happen again.
- Book the hair appointment with the other stylist.
- Check out Pinterest for new styles. 'Tis the season for a fresh look, right?!
- Show stylist who has never seen or cut your hair a photo of the new cut that you would like.
- UM. No backing up now. Inches of hair are flying off of your head. She is so thorough and is really taking her time to give you a fantastic cut.
- Look on the floor at your discarded tresses. Feel the breeze on your neck.
- Forget the shoulder length long bob that you went in there for. You are now rocking a wedge bob and your headache is gone.
- Rock the style that you never knew you could pull off. Because baby, you are much lighter than you were when you came in.
This is totally what happened to me. I did end up with a really cute cut, one that I wasn't really expecting, and I'll make it work for me. I'm not really that vain. The important thing is that my hair doesn't look like "tinsel", and it grows pretty fast.
And I definitely feel a few pounds lighter.
Even if it is all in my head.

Names are the ones the game uses which can be asked for up on a want to know
basis just E-mail me to know).
As this guide had been subjected to an argument before it was published I
would just like to clarify several key points. First point: this guide is
based around my opinion and who I think have the best statistics. Second
point: this is all my own work unless otherwise stated. Third point: this
guide is not endorsed and probably never will be by any company (so in other
words I am doing this for no financial gain). Fourth point: if any one isn't
happy about this guide please contact me. Fifth point: Davids isn't as good a
DMF as Alymeyda and Nedved (among others). Final point: if anyone has any
requests I will consider putting them in the guide. (See credits section for
more on this).

1.6:about the guide
These are the teams unlockable in the game after you unlock them you can use
them in master league.
The unlockable teams and how you get them:
Team how you get them
"Always Argentina" Win the South American cup with Argentina
"Beloved Brazil" Win the South American cup with Brazil
"Eternal England" Win the European cup with England
"Forever France" Win the European cup with France
"Genuine Germany" Win the European cup with Germany
"Heroic Holland" Win the European cup with Holland
"Immortal Italy" Win the European cup with Italy
"Euro Elite" Win the International cup as
"World Elite" Win the International league as anyone
Right after you have unlocked all the teams on that list of "unlockable" team
you unlock some of the many secret players. All the players you unlock in
this way are legends and have played in their countries top games. Out over
100 players your wanting to know who to get right? Well they will all start
as a free transfer so pick them up before anyone else.(if you are playing
com. retired players which just means the computer controlled teams can buy
these players as well). I have decided not to put players in more than one
category due to them only being able to play in one, I have how ever put
there other positions in brackets next to there name. This guide does not
how ever cover the secret characters unlocked by doing the Umbro PTC section.
(Which maybe put in a later version).
GK: zoff/ zenga(Italy) (right footed)
shilton (England) (right footed)
I couldn't decide between these three GK. So if you are going to create a
team of just classics buys all three of these 1 as a first choice one as a
sub and one incase of an injury/ suspension.
CBW: Ronald Koeman/ Rijkaard (Holland) (other positions are CBT and DMF)
(Ronald Koeman is right footed and Rijkaard is both footed)
Baresi (Italy) (right footed)
Beckenbauer (Germay) (other positions DMF) (right footed)
Scirea (Italy) (right footed)
5 of the best defenders in the game Rijkaard is arguably one of the best
players in the entire game.
CBT: Passarella (Argentina) (other positions CBW) (left footed)
Ruggeri (Argentina) (right footed)
Matthaus (Germany) (other positions CBW) (right footed)
These aren't as good as the CBW in my opinion Passarella but is brilliant and
is the pick of the bunch. I would personally buy 2 of these with Passarella
as a definite with whichever of the other 2 you want.
SB: Brehme (Germany) (other positions SMF) (both footed)
Krol (Holland) (other positions CBW) (right footed)
Santos (Brazil) (both footed)
Brehme is the pick of the bunch but still the real good defenders aren't
really SB on here (except for a noticeable exception on the "now" players).
That's all the outstanding defenders and I will now list the best Unlockable
DMF's throughout the game.
DMF: Neeskers (Holland) (other positions OMF and CF) (right footed)
Didi (Brazil) (right footed)
Gerson (Brazil) (other positions OMF) (left footed)
Ardiles (Argentina) (right footed)
Tusseau (France) (other positions SB) (left footed)
When I was looking for several class DMF's I though this was going to be easy
and I thought there must have been millions of them but in actual fact there
are very few decent DMF's. The best listed are Didi and Gerson this is really
disappointing considering the number of top class DMF's in the now class.
SMF: Giresse (France) (other positions OMF) (both footed)
Resenbrink (Holland) (other positions WG) (left footed)
Overath (Germany) (other positions OMF and WG) (left footed)
Netzer (German) (other positions OMF) (right footed)
Socrates (Brazil) (other positions OMF) (right footed)
Burrachaga (Argentina) (other positions OMF) (both footed)
These here are more skilled than the DMF's (and easier to find decent ones
of) and the best of the bunch is probably Overath on the left with either
Netzer (who is likely to get injured) or Socrates on the right. I would also
advise with getting Giresse to cover either side for when one of the others
is out due to his ability to play on either side.
OMF: Keegan (England) (other positions WG) (right footed)
Platini (France) (both footed)
Cantona (France) (other positions WG and CF) (right footed)
Kopa (France) (other positions WG) (right footed)
Gullit (Holland) (other positions WG and CF) (both footed)
Cruyff (Holland) (other positions WG and CF) both footed)
Sivori (Italy) (left footed)
Mazzola (Italy) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Seeler (Germany) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Rummenigge/ Littbarski (Germany) (other positions CF and WG) (both are right
Zico (Brazil) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Rivelino (Brazil) (other positions CF and WG) (left footed)
Pele (Brazil) (other positions CF) (both footed)
The best here are Pele, Zico, Cruyff, Platini and Gullit. I have such a big
category here because of several reasons including A) Half of them are
strikers and B) I usually play 3 or 4 of these a game. I would suggest
getting at least 5 or 6 of them because they get tired out after about 12
games and they get grumpy (grey arrow) even quicker. I would also try and
play these instead of many center midfielders (CMF).
CMF: Charlton (England) (other positions OMF) (left footed)
Van Hanegem (Holland) (left footed)
Breitner (German) (other positions SMF and SB) (left footed)
Ok this one was really interesting due to 2 reasons. A) there ia serious
lack of these.
B) Follows on from my idea of having loads of OMF's rather than CMF's. The
best of these is there isn't a best they are all about the same with Breitner
being my personal favorite due to his ability of playing as a side back.
WG: Mattews (England) (right footed)
Finney (England) (both footed)
Van Basten (Holland) (other positions CF) (both footed)
Riva (Italy) (other positions CF) (left footed)
Careca\ Jairzinho\ Tostao\ Garrincha (Brazil) (other positions CF) (all
right footed except Garrincha who is both footed)
Di Stefano (Argentina) (other positions CF) (both footed)
As you have probably noticed the teams with non-or few CMF's have a lot of
these guys. You will also notice that the CF's have already been put into a
category that's mainly due to me wanting to spread the players out a bit
more. Out of these here I would play Garrincha and Di Stefano as they are the
best I would also sign Van Basten and the other Brazilians.
Now the big one the CF category this is surprisingly small due to me slimming
the numbers down (read the notes from WG's)
CF: Maradonna (Argentina) (other positions OMF and) (left footed)
Papin (French) (left footed)
Kempos (Argentina) (left footed)
Fontaine (French) (left footed)
Linecker (England) (right footed)
Dixie Dean (England) (both footed)
So this is the shortlist I have come up with and I think that Maradonna
belongs in the OMF section. The best ones in here are the French and
Argentineans. To be honest I think I slimmed down the category too much
instead of having a huge list it seems more like a tiny list.
The "unlockable" starting XI
Zoff (GK)
Beckenbauer (CBW) Ronald Koeman (CBW) ( SB)Brehme
Rijkaard (DMF)
Cruyff (SMF) Pele(OMF) Platini(OMF) Overath(SMF)
Gullit(CF) Maradonna (CF)
This is my starting XI using the "unlockable players" from the secret teams
there are other unlockable players but this guide does not cover them.
Di Stefano (stop bitching on me because of this decision)
This subs bench is a well-balanced one with a decent cover all around and no
major holes. With most of the players being versatile enough to play in
several roles and so being a lot more helpful if an injury occurs.
1.4.1 the NOW players
This part of the guide will be based around the current players this will be
set up in a similar way to the last bit but with the obvious fact that you
will probably know most of these players.
The star goalies these are probably, as you would guess but with one major
inclusion. So here we go.
GK: Kahn (Germany) (right footed)
Oscar Coroda (Columbia) (right footed)
Chilavert (Paraguay)(left footed)
Rustu (Turkey) (right footed)
Buffon (Italy) (right footed)
The major inclusion here is Oscar Coroda (the cheapest of the lot) he is
brilliant and want less wages than the others and is just as good. If you
aren't planning on getting a major free kick taker (why not?) then Chilavert
can become useful. I would personally plan on buying at least 3 of these.
Usually I would go with Oscar Coroda, Rustu and any of them. I choose the
first 2 as to save some money and have a pair of quality keepers.
CBW: Blanc (France and Manchester United) (other positions CBT) (right
Hierro (Spain) (other positions DMF and CBT) (right footed)
Henchoz (Switzerland) (other positions CBT) (right footed)
Vogel (Switzerland) (other positions CBT and DMF) (right footed)
Sforza (Switzerland) (other positions DMF and OMF) (right footed)
Nowotny (Germany) (other positions CBT) (right footed)
Jeremies (Germany) (other positions DMF) (right footed)
Oliseh (Nigeria) (other positions DMF) (right footed)
I am really sorry for the lack of good talent here with only 2 or 3 players
being of a world-class quality. I would advise as few of these to be bought
as possible (hey I think if you are using a mixture of players from these and
unlockable get all these as unlockable. i.e. Beckenbaeur). Nowotny and Oliseh
easily dominate this list as they only major players in the list.
Lucio (Brazil) (other positions CBW and CBT) (right footed)
Campbell (England) (other positions SB) (right footed)
Thuram (France) (other positions SB) (right footed)
F. DE Boer (Holland) (other positions DMF and OMF) (left footed)
Nesta\ F.cannarvaro (Italy) (both are right footed)
Hypia (Finland) (right footed)
Mihajlovic (Yugoslavia) (other positions SB and DMF) (left footed)
Samuel (Argentina) (left footed)
These are far better than the CBW these have good defensive skill. I would
advise getting the 2 Italians listed above and Lucio with Mihajlovic as a
spare. I would play 1 or 2 of these a game in an attacking line up 3 or 4 in
a defensive line up. If possible play these for games on hard where a draw is
a best-case scenario or for the last few minuets. I would primarily advise
that there be more SB's in an attacking formation than these.
SB: R. Carlos (Brazil)(other positions)(left footed)
Cafu (Brazil) (other positions SMF) (right footed)
Dyer (England) (other positions SMF) (right footed)
Lizarazu (France) (other positions SMF) (left footed)
Sagnol (France) (Right footed)
De La Cruz (Ecuador) (right footed)
Mahdavikiva (Iran) (other positions SMF and WG) (right footed)
Arce (Paraguay) (other positions SMF) (right footed)
I am sorry for the huge list but there are millions of these in the game. I
would advise getting R. Carlos, Sagnol, Arce and Lizarazu. I would play 2 of
these in a game, one left footed and one right footed. Sagnol is awesome, as
a defender Carlos is speedy as hell down the left. Arce is also awesome I
normally play him in a central defensive zone but never the less an awesome
player in any defensive area.
DMF: Almeyda (Argentina) (right footed)
Biscan (Croatia) (other positions) (CBT and OMF) (right footed)
Ballack (Germany) (other positions OMF and SMF) (right footed)
Nedved (Czech republic) (other positions SMF and OMF) (both footed)
Keane (Ireland) (other positions CMF) (right footed)
Veron (Argentina) (other positions OMF) (right footed)
Viera (France) (other positions CMF) (right footed)
These players here are far better than their unlockable counterparts they are
also more numerous. I would personally get Nedved due to his versatility and
Veron due to his power on attacking runs. Almeyda seems the most defensive
but as I have already stated about my personal game being full of attacking
play. But if you are going to concentrate on a defensive aspect then get
Keane or Viera (due to their good dominating play in midfield) and Almeyda
(see above for the reason). I will also say that buying Nedved is a brilliant
decision due to the fact that he is both footed and can play right across
SMF: Beckham (Engalnd) (other positions OMF) (right footed)
Rivaldo (Brazil) (other positions OMF and CF) (left footed)
Recoba (Uruguay) (other positions CF) (left footed)
Pires (France) (other positions OMF and CMF) (right footed)
Figo (Portugal) (other positions OMF and WG) (right footed)
I have just put five players on this list just to allow the fact that most of
them and others are OMF's and CMF's. With CMF's being kind of rare. With this
little selection I would advise purchasing Rivaldo (who by looking at his
statistics seems the best) for the left hand side (with Recoba as a back up).
I would also get Figo for the right hand side, as he is absolutely awesome
with Beckham as his back up. Pires is an awesome player who is multitalented
position wise I would personally play him inside as either an OMF or CMF. The
players who are going to play in SMF need good passing skills.
OMF: Zidane (France) (right footed)
Raul (Spain) (other positions CF) (left footed)
Rebrov (Ukraine) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Totti (Italy) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Riquelme (Argentina) (right footed)
Fortune (South Africa) (other positions SMF) (left footed)
Zahovic (Slovenia) (other positions CF) (left footed)
I selected these players here for there attacking skills, Zidane is the only
out and out OMF, which you might think, is a slight disadvantage but he is
one of best actual OMF's in the game (apart from Figo and Totti he is the
best). Totti is absolutely amazing in either an OMF or CF role. Figo as
mentioned in the SMF part is a brilliant player wherever he plays. Raul is a
brilliant left footed OMF who is versatile enough to play in a CF role as
well. I included Fortune as an extra left-footed OMF/SMF so as to put your
squad under less of an imbalance if Raul is injured/ suspended.
CMF: Scholes (England) (other positions OMF and CMF) (right footed).
Ricken (Germany) (other positions DMF and OMF) (right footed)
Hargreaves (England) (other positions SMF) (right footed)
Mostovoi (Yugoslavia) (other positions OMF and DMF) (right footed)
As you have probably noticed this list is tiny and this is my fault I stuck
the 3 or 4 best in the DMF list. If you don't get Scholes or Mostovoi then
get one of the players out of the DMF list to play here. (Please note that
this maybe corrected in a future version but there is no guarantee of this ok
WG: Chiesa (Italy) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Kewell (Australia) (other positions SMF and CF) (left footed)
Babangida (Nigeria) (other positions SMF) (right footed)
Beschastnykh (Russia) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Shevchenko (Ukraine) (other positions CF) (right footed)
S.Conceicao (Portugal) (other positions SMF and OMF) (right footed)
Neuville (Germany) (other positions CF) (right footed)
Giggs (Wales) (other positions CF) (left footed)
I am sorry for this list being the size it is. I would buy Shevchenko
basically because he is the best attacking player in the game. Chiesa is a
brilliant winger as are Kewell, Giggs and Neuville so they would be my
advised ones. I would get the Russian (sorry I don't want to spell his name
again), as he is also brilliant.
S.Conceicao is the player you should buy to fill in for an injured guy on the
attacking front. I would advise 4 players being bought if they are going to
be used.
CF: Owen (England) (right footed)
Vieri (Italy) (left footed)
Henry (France) (other positions) (right footed)
Viduka (Australia) (left footed)
Crespo (Argentina) (both footed)
Ronaldo (Brazil) (right footed)
Pizzaro (Peru) (both footed)
Kluivert (Holland) (other positions OMF) (right footed)
Kezman (Yugoslavia) (both footed)
(Due to popular demand) Batistuta (Argentina) (right footed)
I will admit leaving several great players but I say that nine strikers are
more than enough. I have made a few strange inclusions due to them being
double footed (I spent ages on my last master league looking for them. I
would primarily advise the purchasing of Owen, Vieri and Ronaldo. If you have
purchased Shevchenko, Rual, Rivaldo and Recoba you can be rather thin on
these. If you have not got the players named up above I would advise getting
them or 5 players from this list.
Due to demand of several people I needed to include Batistuta who is an
awesome striker and should really be one that you should buy.
Best now free kick takers:
I would advise getting at least 2 of these (most of these are also in the
main players guide).
GK: Who else could it possibly be...Chilavert (Paraguay) (free kick type:B)
Only one I actually looked at (if anyone can find another please E-mail me
with his name and country thanks).
Defenders: R.carlos (Brazil) (free kick type:C)
Arce (Paraguay) (free kick type:B)
Harte (Ireland) (free kick type:B)
Harte is the most accurate (94) and Carlos is the most powerful.
Midfielders: Beckham (England) (free kick type:E)
Figo (Portugal) (free kick type:B)
Totti (Italy) (free kick type:B)
Del Piero (free kick type:B)
Zidane (France) (free kick type:B)
Rivaldo (Brazil) (free kick type:B)
Rui Costa (Portugal) (free kick type:B)
Beckham is the most accurate (97 second highest in the game) I don't know who
is the most powerful (sorry this is over 3000 words I expected it to be
nearer to 1500 words when I finished it.
CF's and WG's: Recoba (Uruguay) (free kick type:B)
Van Hooijdonk (Holland) (free kick type:B)
Larsson (Sweeden) (free kick type:A)
Batistuta (Argentina) (free kick type:B)
Kewell (Australia) (free kick type:B)
Van Hooijdonk is the most accurate. (94) (Please note Van Hooijdonk should
have type D but doesn't so if you want to change that then do).
Also if anyone can find out which player(s) that are type D I will put him or
her in (the first person to find this will be fully credited in this FAQ).
(Also note I have been informed that no one in the game is type D but there
was a player in Pro Evo 1 that had type D)

Also note:
The team you choose become filled with preset players and the free transfer
list get filled up with players that would normally play for your team. So
for example if you choose Real Madrid you can get Raul, Figo, Zidane and
R.carlos for free and if you choose Arsenal you could get Campbell, Viera,
Pires and Henry free. So this can make the game easy or hard depending on
what team you choose, you choose Real Madrid the game is easy to get good
players quickly but if you choose a team like Boca Junior the game will be
far more difficult. It would be clever to begin with a good team the first
time you play on master league.
For the hardest possible game play master league on extreme with a poor team.
If you do try this please tell me how you get on thanks.
Out of the Free players on the list I advise getting Chilavert, De la Cruz,
Zahovic, Fadiga, Deisler, Sand, Olisadebe, Doni and then take your pick some
are better than others but it is up to you to decide who to buy.
(If any one can find a good both footed free player please tell me who they
are due to a serious lack of them in this section thanks).
The full list of unlockable players aren't on this guide (or at least not
yet) but due to a request I decided to include the players that can be
unlocked by doing things in the Umbro PTC. These players are as following:
(these are correct to my knowledge)
Dunga (Brazil) (DMF) (right footed) (A type free kick, 87 F.C. accuracy)
Deschamps (France) (DMF) (right footed) (A type free kick, 74 F.C. accuracy)
Savecivic (Yugoslavia)(SMF, OMF and WG) (left footed) (B type free kick, 83
F.C. accuracy)
Stoijkovic (Yugoslavia) (OMF and CF) (right footed) (B type free kick, 89
F.C. accuracy)
Scifo (Belgium) (OMF and CF) (right footed) (B type free kick, 85 F.C.
Valderama (Colombia) (OMF) (right footed) (B type free kick, 91 F.C.
Stoichkov (Bulgaria) (CF and OMF) (left footed) (B type free kick, 93 F.C.
My current squad.

also doesn't include any unlockable players.
Here is the squad:
(GK) Oscar Coroda
(SB) R. Carlos
(SB) Arce
(CBW) F.Cannavaro
(SMF) Beckham
(CMF) Pires
(OMF) Totti
(SMF) Rivaldo
(LCF) Vieri
(CF) Shevchenko
(RCF) Owen
(GK) Rustu
(CF) Henry
(OMF) Figo
(DMF) Nedved
(OMF) Zidane
(SB) Silvestre

(WG) Chiesa
(OMF) Kluivert
(CF) Rebrov
(OMF) Riquelme
(CF) Zahovic
(CBT) Nesta
(SB) Lizarazu
(GK) Buffon
I personally play a modified 3-4-3 or a modified 3-5-2 this mainly depends on
the moral of my strikers and defenders. I choose these to formations due to
their attacking possibilities but also blocking the other team out of the
midfield is a massive advantage. If I started out a new game with a poor club
on a high difficulty I would probably play a 5-4-1 formation or similar due
to not wanting them to score I would have 2 SB's and 3 CBT's/CBW's. I would
also use 3 DMF's with maybe one CMF.
If the game is nearing the end and you are winning by a goal bring a player
back to help defense and if you are losing throw an extra few players into
attacking positions. I will also advise that you A) choose a formation that
suit your playing style B) Choose the right players for the right positions
and C) modify you formation to help you.
About the guide
Well it has taken me 4 days to complete a 3700+word document. This as you
have probably noticed is my first guide\FAQ and I think I have reached one of
my targets which was to make a guide that could help get rid of hours of
searching for a player to fill a position. This guide is (as of writing) the
only guide for Pro evolution soccer 2 of its type.

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) -- Bail has been set at $1 million each for two teens accused in the slaying of an 18-year-old southwest Ohio man whose body was dumped several counties away.
Warren County court officials say a judge found probable cause on the aggravated murder charges against 19-year-old Timothy Mosley, of Dayton, and 19-year-old Austin Myers, who is homeless, and bound the case over to a grand jury.
Court officials say the teens arrested in last month's slaying of Justin Back appeared at a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Lebanon. The officials say court records don't list attorneys for them.
Authorities say they believe Back was choked, stabbed and shot. Authorities also allege the two teens took a safe and a gun from the Wayne Township home where Back lived with his parents.

The difference of sound-quality between poor-quality headphones and good-quality headphones can be like night and day, even for non-audiophiles.
Past News ReleasesRSS
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2013
There are a variety of Bluetooth headphones ranging from single-ear MONO headsets to around-the-ear full STEREO headphones. However, some of them have problems related to the 4 deficiencies, (i) Poor audio-quality, (ii) Dropped Bluetooth connections, (iii) Poor noise cancellation and noise-isolation, and (iv) Poor design/fit etc. Weeding out headphones with such limitations is now possible thanks to the recently published List of #1 Recommended Best Bluetooth Headphones.
The above list on http://BestHeadphoneHub.com/ reveals the No 1 Recommended pair of headphones as well as the most wallet-friendly headphones for each of the following 4 categories: (i) Around/Over-the-ear Bluetooth Headphones (a.k.a. circum-aural), (ii) On-ear BT headphones (a.k.a. supra-aural), (iii) In-ear headphones (a.k.a. Bluetooth ear buds/wireless earbuds), and (iv) single-ear MONO Bluetooth headsets. It is a highly recommended read for anyone intending to purchase a pair of Bluetooth or wired headphones. The best quality Bluetooth headphones come from not-only popular brands like Audio-Technica, Beats, Bose, Dennon, Klipsch, Plantronics, and Sennheiser, but also from brands that are not very popular like ECSEM, LG, MEElectronics and Parrot Zik. For example, while the title of Best Over-the-ear Bluetooth Headphones goes to Bose, the title of best On-ear Bluetooth headsets goes to MEElectronics.
The review specifically emphasizes the importance of certain specs like the frequency response (e.g. 5 Hz – 28,000 Hz), impedance (e.g. 16 Ohms at 1KHz), driver diameter (range from 9 mm to 50 mm) etc. These are important features that determine the clarity, loudness, and spectrum of the audio-output. Not every pair needs to be audiophile-grade, however, they should reproduce the highs (frequencies > 4000 Hz; treble), the mids and the lows (<400 Hz; bass) with decent accuracy in a balanced manner. Examples of common complaints on poor-quality headphones include "poor bass and too much treble" or "overpowering bass drowns the clarity of mids and treble". The difference of sound-quality from such an inferior-quality pair and a relatively good pair of headphones can be like night and day, even for non-audiophiles. This is true for both Bluetooth wireless headphones as well as regular wired headsets.
The different lists of best Bluetooth headsets also considers their 'advanced-feature richness'. The most noteworthy features to look for other than audio-quality are noise cancellation and noise isolation. The former refers to negating ambient/external noises and the latter refers to minimizing leakage of sounds out of the head/earphones. Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling are usually more expensive than others. However, if one's lifestyle requires noise cancelling and/or noise isolation, such as in the case of those who commute on noisy buses/trains, the investment is well justified as long as it is spent on the right Bluetooth headset. The TOP 3 most popular noise cancelling headphones can be found on http://bestheadphonehub.com/best-noise-cancelling-headphones/
In addition to the details on Best Bluetooth Headphones (wireless), they have also published reviews of popular wired stereo headphones for those who would rather have the wires.
