First up, Treasures of the Pyramids sports a 4 X 5 reel layout with 40 paylines. Everything about this game is grand and vivid. Being tombs for their beloved pharaohs, everything is designed with a touch of gold on it. Before you think that it's all just looks, we discovered that Treasure of the Pyramids is actually made up of lots of wealth too. After 20 minutes spinning, we never once got below our initial bank balance. Bets are accepted from a small 10p all the way to a massive £400 per spin.
One thing that you may not fancy is the quite old-fashioned look that this mobile slot game exhibits. The developers at IGT have kept the design of this game to be as true to the real heritage as possible. In fact, even the symbols in Treasures of the Pyramids are after many symbolic artefacts like the Ankhs (known as the breath of life), jewels, gold and the pyramids themselves.
Treasures of the Pyramids also features the gamble feature. This maybe quite a common feature, but it definitely adds some spice and excitement to the gaming experience as a whole. Guessing the right colour will double your winnings, and guessing the right suit will quadruple your winnings. Seems like a good deal eh?
Back to Top.
The features in this game are pretty straight forward. When you do get your Black Panthers, it safe to say that it will start raining money. The Black Panther, the highest and most profitable symbol, is also a Wild Symbol. Being the Wild, the Panther can replace all other symbols to complete winning paylines. Best of all, it can reward you to up to 5000X your wager on a single spin. We are definitely loving panthers from now on!
The number Free Spins that Treasures of the Pyramids offers is absolutely ludicrous. Here, you can win up to a staggering 600 free re-spins. Yep, you heard that right. 600. Now let that sink in. To trigger the free spins you need to at least 3 Pyramid symbols anywhere on your reels. At least 8 free spins will be rewarded at any time, and the maximum would be 100 free spins. Scatter symbols during free spins, will reward you with additional free spins, and this could go all the way to the mentioned 600.
We saved the best for the last this time round. The Pyramids are full of treasure and there is plenty for everyone. As such, a win multiplier of 2X will be applied to ALL of your winnings. Who knew the Gods were this generous?
We are getting bored saying this, but IGT produces games that are just spectacular. The graphics may seem old fashioned, but you know that a lot of thought has been put into the design of it. Mostly, all the visuals and soundtrack that accompanies the game follow the ancient Egyptian theme. Treasures of the Pyramids is playable on all devices including on mobile phones, tablets and on PC's, and we encountered zero lags or bugs from close to an hour of gaming.
Unique Features
The sheer number of Free Spins just blew us away with this game. Every 15 to 20 or so spins, we would get 3 scatters and will be rewarded with free spins. More often than not, you will receive the minimum 8 free spins, but we were lucky enough to get 15 free spins every now and then.
With the decent Return-To-Player (RTP) of 96.2% in this game and combined with the magnitude of free spins, we would consider this game low to medium risk as you wouldn't find it exceptionally hard to maintain your bank balance at all times.
This is a somewhat blunt way of going about it, and Treasures of the Pyramids probably won't go down in history as a pivotal part of slot-game history. However, the Ancient Egyptian theme, with its jewels, amulets and hieroglyphs, can make for a pleasing escape.
This is a good old-fashioned, functional game, nothing revolutionary, but good old-fashioned, casino-style fun. With decent payouts that this game offers, both casual and more serious players would do well here.
Enjoy Treasure of Pyramids at Mr Green Casino

Tom Shales's TV Preview of 'Harper's Island' on CBS
Thursday, April 9, 2009
As family scrapbooks, the National Enquirer and "America's Funniest Home Videos" have all made painfully clear, virtually every wedding has its share of booby traps. The road to the altar is full of potholes. An uncle will get drunk, a pair of pants will split in the back, or the flower girl will faint dead away.
Generally speaking, though, a growing pile of hacked-up bodies is not among the usual annoying bloopers. CBS is counting on that fact to help make a success of "Harper's Island," a 13-part serialized murder mystery that premieres tonight and lets the stiffs fall where they may.
With this show, I thee wed. I mean, with this show, CBS takes another step away from traditional program formats. Though common for years in England, the idea of a self-contained whodunit like this is novel -- and, of course, risky. If ratings are disappointing for the first couple of episodes, is CBS obliged to air the entire baker's dozen for the benefit of those who did watch? A network spokeswoman says that's a bridge to be crossed later, if ever.
Actually, the show's chances seem fairly good -- and not only because it has powerful Thursday-night lead-ins "Survivor" and "CSI." The fact is, "Harper's Island" is a cunningly constructed, habit-forming mystery that makes for an intriguing departure from normal episodic television. It's also a kind of hybrid; as on reality competition shows, one member of the cast will be eliminated each week, except that on "Harper's Island" they'll be murdered, not voted away by yuppies in leafy underpants.
Set in the Pacific Northwest -- Harper's Island, no relation to Harper's Ferry, is said to be off the Seattle coast -- the mystery sprints right along after a fairly de rigueur first chapter in which the writers are obliged to introduce the cast of characters, which is also a cast of suspects. Central to the show are those goo-goo, ga-ga youngsters (relatively speaking) Henry and Trish. As played by Christopher Gorham and Katie Cassidy, they're a believably contented couple with a high tolerance for members of the wedding party happening to disappear -- or turn up dead in particularly grisly and gory ways.
Cassidy is the 22-year-old daughter of '70s heartthrob David Cassidy and is not to be confused with Elaine Cassidy, who is no relation and plays the pivotal role of Abby, the former islander whose mother was monstrously murdered by a maniac seven years earlier, along with five other people. You'd think the happy couple and their relatives would have thought twice about having a wedding in such gruesome surroundings, but maybe they did think twice and went ahead just the same.
Perhaps thinking three times would have done the trick, but then there wouldn't have been a story, and CBS might have had to fill its Thursday-at-10 slot with, oh, let's see -- "Meet Your Critics."
As TV murders go, those on and around the island are unusually graphic for TV (viewers who don't find them graphic enough can buy the forthcoming DVD version, which will include even more gory details). One poor chap gets virtually sliced in half by a nasty sort of contraption that comes plunging down from the rafters -- and never mind fretting about spoilers, because we haven't told you who, when, where or why. But then we don't know why.
With 13 hours and as many characters to kill, the producers inevitably must throw in a plethora of colorfully creepy clues and red herrings, though telling which is which won't be easy until closure sets in and the killer is revealed. And though many episodes end in cliffhangers, CBS has promised that the murderer will indeed be identified and the case closed in that final chapter, which is set to air July 2.
Mischievously enough, all the chapters have one-word titles on the order of "Whap" (tonight's premiere), "Thwack," "Bang" and "Sploosh."
Meanwhile the intriguing details include a spooky little girl who likes to play with tarot cards; a wedding rehearsal from which the presiding minister happens to be conspicuously AWOL; an abandoned boat containing a putrid desiccated corpse and a satchel filled with $250,000 in bloody money; a badly disfigured recluse who serves as the island's equivalent of village idiot; and a kinky couple whose idea of fun is to play kidnapper and kidnappee, with the latter bound and tortured.
CBS released several chapters for preview but not, of course, those revealing any of the big surprises, assuming big surprises are waiting 'round the bend. The show is really 94 percent plot, so the actors don't have much leeway in terms of characterization or depth of performance. Elaine Cassidy's Abby, though, is a genuinely sympathetic figure, someone who's already been through a hellish sort of nightmare, and it doesn't take long to develop a rooting interest in seeing her survive this one. Gorham as Henry is so relentlessly chipper and smiley that he arouses suspicion from early on, but then in mysteries, the ones who look the guiltiest usually are not the whos that dun it.
As in all horror stories, characters do manifestly dumb things, like swim alone, drunk, in a lighted pool at night, or go wandering off in the woods once the sun sets and it gets awfully hard to retrace your steps. Once there was a way to get back homeward, as the Beatles lamented, but not for everyone on Harper's Island. For that reason and others, the show may very well and fairly cleverly hold your attention -- in fact, grip it tightly and securely -- as it dangles its array of morbid possibilities in your face.
Should it carry a warning label along the lines of "Not for the Squeamish"? That'd be a bit gratuitous; besides, life itself is not for the squeamish -- especially, one could easily argue, now.
Harper's Island (one hour) debuts tonight at 10 on Channel 9.

By Emil Kezerle
Business Agent/Coordinator, Upper Michigan Office
1342 U.S. Highway 2, Crystal Falls, Michigan 49921 • 906-875-4990 – 800-361-1269
The WPPA, on behalf of the Gogebic County Deputy Sheriff's Association, has initiated a grievance action regarding an issue that very well could impact other Sheriff's Departments that have Tribal Police Departments working within their jurisdiction. First, allow me to be crystal clear on a very important point. In no way, shape, or form, should this grievance action be perceived as an attack or complaint against the Tribal Police. They have outstanding and highly trained officers who do an exceptional job. They lay themselves on the line no different than any other officer. This was very evident during the summer of 2005 when the Tribal officers were involved in a serious critical incident in Gogebic County.
A number of years ago, the Gogebic County Board, the Township in which the Tribal Police Department is located, and the Gogebic County Sheriff's Department, entered into an agreement whereby Tribal officers would be deputized by the Sheriff. The Gogebic County Deputy Sheriff's Association informed all parties at that time that there would be no Union objection to the deputization unless and until such time that the Association was faced with layoffs. Unfortunately, the Sheriff's Association has now been impacted by a layoff, while at the same time the Tribal officers, under the authority granted to them by the county sheriff, continue to provide general police services. Such services include criminal investigations, response to general complaints, and enforcement of the Michigan Vehicle Code, much of which occurs on Tribal land.
The Association does not necessarily contest the constitutional authority of Michigan sheriffs to deputize individuals for any number of reasons. The Association does, however, contest the fact that the County of Gogebic and the Gogebic County Sheriff refuse to place restrictions on the deputization of law enforcement officers who continue to do bargaining unit work while members of their own staff are on layoff status. At the very least, the Association believes that any and all Gogebic County Sheriff's deputies should be recalled from layoff status as long as another police agency maintains the ability to perform the work of a deputy under the authority granted by the sheriff.
This matter is now in the hands of the attorneys representing the employer and the Union. A request for arbitration has been filed.
Allow me to end this summary the way it began. I believe that the work and dedication displayed by the Tribal officers is a credit to the law enforcement profession and a credit to law enforcement in Gogebic County. It is, however, the responsibility of the Union and the Gogebic County Deputy Sheriff's Association to protect the work we feel is reserved for deputy sheriffs. To that end, this process will continue to move forward.
I want to briefly touch upon a situation I was recently witness to in the City of Hancock, which serves as a testament to what can be accomplished when our associations work together.
For an extended period of time, the Hancock Police Association, which includes the chief and lieutenant, were faced with a member of their City Council who had, and has, what appears to be a very obvious "axe to grind" with the Police Department. This Council person placed no controls on his own behavior, which included false accusations of all sorts towards members of the Department. After hearing the testimony I recently heard at a special meeting of the City Council, it was (and is) obvious that this Council person has made it his passion to humiliate and discredit the Hancock police in the presence of anyone who would stand still long enough to listen. In an effort to maintain some level of peace, the Hancock police, amidst this council person's repeated calls for police staff reductions, continued to respond to the council person's regular neighborhood complaints in a professional fashion that I believe is truly a credit to the entire department.
On November 30, 2005, I had the privilege of being in attendance at a special meeting of the Hancock City Council. This particular meeting was no regular meeting; rather, it was called at the specific request of the Hancock Police Association. The Association was present to specifically request that the City Council support a resolution in support of the Police Department, and that the troubled council person be publicly restrained from making false and damaging public allegations against the Police Department.
The meeting room was filled to capacity. I sat and listened to the testimony of the police chief, the police lieutenant, and members of the Association. The professional way in which the Hancock Police Association handled this very emotionally charged meeting was, in my mind, beyond impressive. The community stood behind each officer as they explained the frustration they have experienced with this council person. At the conclusion of the police comments, a motion in support of the police was made, supported, and unanimously approved by the entire Council. The council member, whose behavior generated the meeting, apologized, and then informed the rest of the Council of his intent to resign from the Council effective in January of 2006.
As your Union, we are constantly in your ear about the importance of political action and the importance of coming together as one. I wish every member of every Association we represent could have been present at this meeting in Hancock as this truly serves as an example of how we all benefit from working together. I was very proud to be present at this meeting, and I am very proud to be the Business Agent for the Hancock Police Association.
I hope that you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday season, and I wish you the very best in the new year.

Austrians coveted unification with Germany for nearly two decades, and that dream was finally fulfilled by Hitler. The situation in Crimea is similar, said Andrei Zubov, a former professor at the State Institute of International Relations in Moscow (MGIMO) who was sacked from his job for drawing that comparison a few months ago.
He told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that, for more than two decades, most of Crimea's residents pursued unification with Russia and now Putin has fulfilled their dreams.
In an interview during the international conference "Forum 2000" in Prague, Zubov emphasized that he sticks to his position:
"I am engaged in scientific work. Therefore, I am obliged to adhere to facts, which are more than obvious, i.e. to warn of the danger of a repetition of examples and situations which backfired) for the aggressor then…Germany. I believe that the annexation of the Crimea will end very badly for Russia, too."
Zubov: Time is the best cure for the current problems. When the conflict commenced in eastern Ukraine half a year ago, many local inhabitants wanted to join Russia, as Crimea itself did. However, it has become obvious it's not an easy endeavor at all.
The EU and NATO have made it clear to Russia that any change of the borders in Europe is an unacceptable and very complicated undertaking.
I think that Putin has decided not to incorporate new areas into Russia for the time being, because it is a venture that is too expensive. Even Crimea has proven costly, not only in the huge amounts of money necessary to pour in to cement its integration with Russia, but also the sanctions, which the West imposed on Moscow over its politics towards Ukraine.
Zubov: This is another area where Putin suffered defeat. He intervened in Ukraine to prevent its admission into NATO. However, half a year later we are witnessing that the North Atlantic Alliance is coming closer to Russian borders -- not in Ukraine, but in the neighboring countries-- because it has been deploying its forces in the Baltics and Poland. Even the president of neutral Finland emphasizes that it should be considered for membership in NATO.
Zubov: I am engaged in scientific work. Therefore, I am obliged to adhere to facts which are more than obvious. Namely, to warn of the danger of a repetition of the examples and situations which backfired on) the aggressor then… Germany. I believe that the annexation of the Crimea will end very badly for Russia, too.
I think that the comparison I mentioned is well grounded. As you know, the overwhelming majority of Austrians favored unification with Germany. The representatives of Austria raised the issue during the Versailles Conference in the immediate aftermath of World War I, requesting the victorious powers to allow its unification with Germany, but the Great Entente turned the request down.
Austrians coveted unification with Germany for nearly two decades, and Hitler finally fulfilled that dream.
The situation in Crimea is similar. For more than two decades, most inhabitants have pursued unification with Russia and Putin fulfilled their dreams. ….
Zubov: I think he is afraid of any parallel between Ukraine and the "Arab Spring" being drawn. The revolt against the authoritarian regime in Tunisia did spill over quickly into other Arab countries. In fact, religious and linguistic similarities in this region played a major role. It implies that the inhabitants of Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Libya and other countries could very well understand the essence of the revolution in Tunisia. The new social media facilitated the transmission of messages and experiences.
When the revolution in Ukraine broke out, Putin became frightened that it could extend to Russia given the political situation in both countries. I mean the authoritarian, corrupt regime, and the low standard of living in both countries.
Additionally, in Russia and Ukraine, the same or a very similar language is spoken. They share a common culture and the Orthodox [Christian] faith. So, there are more similarities between them than among Arab countries. Putin wishes to prevent Russia from following in Ukrainian footsteps.
Another reason is the Russian attempt to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, but not out of fear of NATO expansion. Namely, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, Putin spoke in the early 2000s more specifically about the necessity of creating a common security structure that would encompass NATO, Russia and Japan in order to establish an Alliance in the northern hemisphere, more precisely a system of common security stretching from Vancouver to Vladivostok. Thus, Putin then stood ready to cooperate with the West, although a special condition was attached for him to be recognized as the undisputed leader in the ex-Soviet space.
Zubov: I think sanctions are just beginning to create problems in Russia. The ordinary people who do not understand the macro economy very well will feel a direct pain in a half year.
Zubov: Maybe in Russia it will take such a long period for a change, too. However, it's quite possible that reforms will be accelerated.
Zubov: I recall that Putin came to power in 1999. President Boris Yeltsin appointed him as the Prime Minister, and then resigned. According to the Russian Constitution, the Prime Minister temporarily takes over as head of state for up to six months when elections are called under such circumstances. Thus, it is possible to imagine such a situation in the foreseeable future, because domestic economic experts argue that it is impossible for Russia to continue to function normally in an environment of such severe sanctions.
On the other hand, if Putin wants to see the Western sanctions lifted, he will have to halt the aggression against Ukraine, which, in turn, could lead to the disappointment of many Russian citizens.
A lot of ordinary people perceive Putin as a champion of the idea of a Greater Russia. Hence, if he ceased supporting irredentism in Ukraine, for many Russians it would amount to a betrayal.
Zubov: I guess that for Serbs during the Milosevic regime, the idea of a Greater Serbia was also more important than democracy and accession to the EU.
Russia is seeking to maintain its influence in the Balkans, especially in Serbia, even while Balkan countries are aspiring to EU membership. However, Serbia is trying to maintain good relations with Moscow because it depends on Russian gas and on Moscow's support in the Security Council in blocking Kosovo's admission to the UN. For that reason, Serbia is walking a tightrope between Russia and the EU over the Ukrainian crisis. What is the key Russian interest in the Balkans?
Zubov: I think that Serbia will not follow Russian politics in the long-term, because it and other Balkan countries are aspiring to EU membership. The specific benefits which trickle down from the EU will be more important to Serbian citizens than the idealistic dreams of some sort of a union with Putin's Russia, which cannot provide concrete assistance.
Zubov: I am not so familiar with the situation in Serbia, but I think that it dramatically changed its foreign policy orientation after the fall of Milosevic, and it turned to the EU. Russian support is, of course, of great importance to Serbia, but it cannot fully substitute for cooperation with other partners in the international community, primarily in Europe.
At the same time, it should be noted that Russia has not ruled out cooperation with the EU and NATO as its long-term foreign policy orientation. The strained relations between Russia and the West right now seem more an attempt at tactical jockeying. However, in the future Moscow will certainly seek to cooperate with the EU, and perhaps even with NATO. Therefore, for both Russia and Serbia, it is in their strategic interests to cooperate with the West.
Zubov: It is an unrealistic and unfeasible option. In fact, the prospect of becoming a satellite of China and becoming a target of aggression by Muslim extremism and radicalism from the Russian South, are the biggest source of fear in Russia. These are much stronger fears than suspicion of the West. Therefore, it is in Russian strategic interests to partner with Europe rather than to become a Chinese satellite and the target of Islamic fundamentalists instead. Therefore, I believe that in the future Russia will turn to the West rather than to the East.

Why You Should Play Pooh Sticks with Preschoolers
Do you ever just say yes? Even when the timing isn't great? Even when you aren't sure how you'll pull it off? Even when you aren't sure if you want to?
Anyone following me on a regular basis knows that I am a sick mama. With this comes a lot of nos. There are days I can't do much of anything. There are a lot of days that they have to wait or come with me to do something for me when they would much rather be playing or doing something else. My kids are amazing really.
What does this have to do with saying yes? Well, there are days when I want to lie down, when I don't really want to do anything, but one of them has an idea. They share that idea and then the other one jumps on board. When that happens they start jumping up and down like only enthusiastic preschoolers really can and I find myself saying yes.
This is what happened with Pooh Sticks. We were snuggled on the couch reading. Mostly because they love books and I love books and it involves very little movement on my part. We were snuggled up and reading stories from Winnie the Pooh. We got to the story about the friends playing Pooh Sticks and this sparked an idea. My daughter commented that they were on a bridge like the bridge over our pond. "Let's go there and play that too!" she shouts. I could have pushed it off to "another day" or said no, but I said yes and we headed to the pond by our house.
Have you read or watched Winnie the Pooh? I have fond memories of my dad reading these stories aloud to me. He has a gift for making voices that helps to bring characters to life. His Eeyore was always my favorite.
In The House at Pooh Corner, there is a story about Pooh dropping a pinecone into the water by accident and he notices that it pops out on the other side of the bridge. The game itself comes from this incident and is quite simple.
Everyone finds a stick (or I suppose a pinecone) and goes to the middle of a bridge. (A river would work the best, but we pulled it off on the pond by our house.)
When everyone is ready, you drop your sticks into the water at the same time. Then you run to the other side of the bridge and watch to see whose stick comes out first. This person being the winner.
So, why should you play Poohsticks with your preschoolers? I could tell you that it is a lovely lesson in patience, currents, floating and other things, because it certainly is. I could also tell you that it is good to get outside and play. This is also true. The real reason I am glad we played Poohsticks is because it reminded me that sometimes it is important to say Yes.

Mangalore: Addressing media persons during a press meet held at Mangalore Press Club, Dr GK Bhat Sankabittulu-President of Indian Medical Association said, " Indian Medical association has decided to postpone its Satyagraha. The Central government has asked 6 weeks time to sort out the issue. In the wake of the promise given by the central government, IMA has decided to postpone the Satyagraha".
"National IMA has been perusing five community oriented demands for over a year. IMA had given a protest notice to Prime Minister, Union Health Minister, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Home Minister and Union Law Minister in reference to the Observation of a Protest Day/Satyagraha on November 16th. IMA had also sent the copy of this letter to all the Members of Parliament on 1/11/2015. IMA stated a successful signature campaign on emedinexus, and the same was signed by over 50,000 members of IMA. IMA with emedinexus also organised an interactive webcast with Attorney General Mr Mukul Rohatgi on these issues" added Dr Bhat.
He further said, "Attorney General suggested that for all the demands inter-ministerial coordination committee was required, involving health, home, consumer, law ministries along with MCI and IMA. IMA was called for a discussion by the Union Health Minister on the 5 issues that were raised on 10/11/2015. A very detailed discussion on all issues were made. The meeting was also attended by the Union Health Secretary. Union Health Minister agreed on all the major issues and the solutions suggested by IMA. Most of these issues require amendment of existing Acts".
He also said, "Health Minister agreed and constituted a time bound committee consisting of the Additional Secretary Health, Joint Secretary Law, Joint Secretary Home, Joint Secretary Home and Joint Secretary Consumer Affairs. The committee will have three representatives of IMA (IMA insisted for the same) and one from MCI. The committee will study all the suggestions and amendments given by Indian Medical Association on all five issues and submit a report within six weeks (before the central council meet). The ministry will than expeditiously act on the suggestions and amendments. IMA had discussions with senior leaders and all felt that it was the right step. In the history of IMA it has happened for the first time that a joint inter-ministerial committee has been formed by the government to look into the amendments and suggestions given by IMA"
While concluding Dr Bhat said "The health Minister has also agreed to address the Central Council meeting in Delhi. It's a victory of Team IMA and shows the strength of our signature campaign and mass preparedness for the event. Team IMA is grateful to the enthusiasm and commitment given by all members, state leaders and senior leaders and specially thank Mr. Mukul Rohatgi and emedinexus for their timely help. Taking into consideration of the above facts and sequences Team IMA is POSTPONING the protest from November 16th. The enthusiasm and commitment given by all members, state leaders and senior leaders have given Team IMA the courage to make this deal. But keep up the preparedness in case we have to go ahead with the protest".
Also present in the press conference are Dr. Amritha Bhandary, designated president of IMA Mangalore, designated Secretary Dr. Prithvi Shetty and the Honorary Secretary Dr. Shekar Poojary.

You know this post is about WizKid and Dj Maphorisa.These singles are only available on iTunes. You can hear the African influence on One Dance featuring Wiz Kid and Dj Maphorisa's involvement. Its going to be a hit believe me. It seems Wiz has only been sampled and is not on the track. The irony of the other feature Pop Dance with Jayz and Kanye is deep cause both of them are Tidal evangelists and Drake is an Apple employee. I guess business is business.

Bayer Leverkusen v RB Leipzig – Friday 19:30, BT Sport 3
Newly-promoted RB Leipzig have shocked the Bundesliga this year with a record of W7-D3-L0, and sit in second place, level with Bayern on 24 points but trailing on goal difference. They will be fancying their chances against a Leverkusen side that has failed to score in three of their last five competitive matches at home en route to eighth place after 10 games.
Leipzig have now won five straight across all competitions, but Leverkusen will pose more of a challenge than their most recent game, a 3-1 win against a Mainz side fatigued from midweek European football. Leverkusen, meanwhile, have won four straight, but face question-marks over the fitness of several players, notably midfielders Charles Aranguiz and Lars Bender. Despite their reputation for strong defensive performances at home, conceding an average of just 1.05 goals per game at the BayArena over the last two seasons, they've only won two of their last six competitive home matches while drawing half. It won't be easy to improve that, Leipzig are undefeated away from home in regular time since May.
Leipzig have drawn the first half in all five of their league matches on the road this season, but both teams are making a habit of scoring goals deep into matches: 55% of their combined league goals have come in the second period this season, and Leipzig in particular have scored nine of their last ten away goals in the second half. As such, we're going for second half in the highest-scoring half market.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus

Episode Summary: Akari awakens at the Sefiro Fiore institution, where the headmaster Etia Visconti tells her about the organization's use of the Elemental Tarot in their ongoing battle against the Daemonia, monsters that possess humans overtaken by negative emotions. Akari moves to the school and meets her new teammates: Seira Hoshikawa, who wields the Star card; Luna Tsukuyomi, who wields the Moon card; and Ginka Shirokane, who wields the Temperance card. During a seemingly normal day of lessons, the girls are dispatched to kill a Daemonia. As Akari fights the monster, she regains her memories of Fuyuna and loses her transformation out of shock, forcing Luna to help her retreat while Seira and Ginka finish their duty. Etia explains to Akari that those possessed by Daemonia cannot be saved, and that everything pertaining to that person's existence is erased once they are killed. Filled with anger and guilt, Akari runs from the academy and cries in apology to her aunt, who still remembers nothing of Fuyuna. Later, Akari spots a possessed man attempting to kill a happy father and son, and becomes conflicted on whether to act or not.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Lanarkshire and Ayrshire. This place name comes from the Northern Old English words, bracken and rigg (ridge). Breckenridge is a local, or habitation name, which comes from the names of places where the family once lived or held land.
Breckenridge Early Origins
Lanarkshire, and Ayrshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Breckenridge Spelling Variations
Breckenridge Spelling Variations
Medieval spelling was at best an intuitive process, and translation between Gaelic and English was no more effective. These factors caused an enormous number of spelling variations in Dalriadan names. In fact, it was not uncommon to see a father and son who spelled their name differently. Over the years, Breckenridge has been spelled Brackenridge, Brachenridge, Brakenbury, Brackenrige, Brachenrige, Brecenrigg, Brecenrig, Breckinridge, Breckinrige, Breckinrigg, Breconrig, Breconrigg, Breckenrig, Breckenrigg, Braikinrigg, Braikinrig, Braikinridge and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many of the ancestors of Dalriadan families who arrived in North America still live in communities along the east coast of Canada and the United States. In the American War of Independence many of the original settlers traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the ancestors of many Scots began recovering their collective national heritage through Clan societies, highland games, and other patriotic events. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Breckenridge or a variant listed above:
Breckenridge Settlers in United States in the 18th Century

Contemporary Notables of the name Breckenridge (post 1700)

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtute et industria
Motto Translation: By valour and industry.

text: Janrain's LINK Cartridge Brings Social User Management to the Demandware Platform July 3, 2012 by Max Spector ecommerce, integration The Janrain team is happy to announce the availability of our new LINK cartridge for top internet retailers on the the Demandware eCommerce platform. We're proud to offer a unique Demandware cartridge for user management and back it up with the full power of our Janrain User Management Platform (JUMP). This means that Demandware customers can now enjoy the many benefits of JUMP already being realized by our online retail customers like Sears, Guitar Center, Whole Foods, and Illy Cafe. These and other commerce customers are realizing increases in registration conversions, decreased cart abandonment, a reduction in false user data, and improvement in customer service calls as a result of a forgotten password. The majority of these benefits come from a unique combination of social login and a robust registration system which ensures that retailers obtain the data they need while letting online shoppers register and subsequently login faster. The ability to pre-fill registration forms with verified social profile data becomes all the more important as shoppers spend more time on mobile devices and struggle with text entry on small screens. Benefits for shoppers 77% of shoppers prefer social login for fast registration and checkout Shoppers can share products, reviews, and purchases to social networks or targeted to a select group of friends Shoppers never have to remember, or recover, a site-specific username or password Rather than paying for data append services, retailers are embracing social login as a source of permission-based, cost effective and rich shopper data including verified email and shipping addresses, interests, and demographics for use in targeting, personalization, and product recommendations. However, making this data available to 3rd party systems like recommendation engines is frequently done on a one-off basis. To save both time and development efforts, we have included support for the open source Backplane Protocol in our LINK cartridge. The Backplane Protocol broadcasts user identity, and profile data to trusted applications on a website, making it easy for retailers to plug and play vendor applications such as polls, reviews, and content personalization tools. Benefits for retailers 30-50% increase in registered users Decrease registration drop-off and cart abandonment due to new account creation requirements which drive 86% of shoppers away from your site Eliminate the false data provided during sign-up by 88% of shoppers who admit to providing inaccurate data to create a new account Drive word of mouth marketing through social sharing which returns an average of 13 referral clicks for each shared activity to a social network Features for retailers Social login from more than 25 identity providers including PayPal Access, Facebook, Google, Yahoo!, Twitter, and more Customizable, hosted registration screens include social and traditional registration, pre-filled social profile data, CAPTCHA, opt-in, field verification, dirty word filters, password reset, and profile management Collect and store rich social profile data in a flexible hosted database for use with targeted communication, personalization, or recommendations based on demographic and interest data Map social and traditional identities to a single user record Multi-site sign-on enables users to move from within your network of sites without re-authentication Analytics provide insights and performance into shopper acquisition and social referrals LINK certified for reliable and rapid deployment Our Digital and Social Media Strategists and commerce experts are also available to share best practices, develop wireframes, and walk retailers through the planning process so that the implementation is easy. Best of all, for retailers who aren't ready to implement the complete JUMP-based registration system, the LINK cartridge makes it easy to start small by adding social login to an existing registration and login system. If you are a current Demandware customer or considering the Demandware eCommerce platform, contact us to learn more about the Janrain LINK cartridge and the top retailers already leveraging Janrain for user management and social engagement.

Moody Gardens and D3D Cinema Celebrate Opening of 6P Laser Theater Featuring Christie
MG3D Theater Features MDI 60 by 80-foot White Screen Lit Up by Christie 4K 6P Laser and Viewed With Infitec GmBH 3D Glasses
D3D Cinema and Moody Gardens have announced the grand opening of the MG3D Laser Theater at Moody Gardens, the first institution in the world to feature a giant screen 6-Primary (6P) laser projection system. Audiences will now experience films on a world-class 60 by 80-foot white screen - the largest in Texas - at nearly three and a half times brighter than the current industry standard, with vibrant colors and new 3D glasses technology. The 6P laser-illuminated 4K-resolution 3D dual projector system is manufactured by Christie®, a world leader in advanced cinema technologies and visual displays. The 6P eyewear is designed and manufactured by Infitec GmbH. The 1.4 gain premium white screen was provided by MDI.
"This installation marks a great step forward for giant screen projection technology - and Moody Gardens has once again taken a pioneering step with D3D to create a truly great theater experience for their audience," said Don Kempf, president of D3D Cinema. "Their continuing willingness to forge ahead with new cinema technology and branding will help push the museum cinema market forward into a new era of cinema clarity, brightness and profitability. This industry has been waiting for lasers for a long time."
"There is a bit of nervous excitement with being the first institutional theater in the world to implement laser technology," added John Zendt, President and CEO of Moody Gardens. "But, when I walked into the theater and saw my screen light up like never before, I was thrilled! And that first impression was only at 75 percent of our brightness capability. I can now happily invite my giant screen colleagues to come and see firsthand what D3D, Christie and Infitec are capable of delivering on an 80 foot screen. To be first to market is very exciting. But the results themselves are amazing and it is an experience our guests will certainly appreciate."
Christie's laser system provides unparalleled image quality using a pair of state-of-the-art 4K laser projection heads, a 6P modular laser light farm with fiber-optic delivery, and Christie 4K 3D high-bitrate IMBs.
"We can confidently say that Christie's 6P laser design is a real breakthrough for the industry," said Don Shaw, senior director of product management, Christie. "Our non-flashing 6P architecture is without question the most light-efficient 3D technology on the market, providing four times the 3D brightness versus the competition, and enhanced color gamut and a remarkable contrast ratio as well. On a speckle-free premium white screen, Moody Gardens has achieved a peerless cinematic presentation."
Infitec's new 6P glasses deliver a startling 90 percent efficiency - unsurpassed in the industry. It's the perfect complement to the 80 foot wide screen in the MG3D Theater, which is now capable of light levels over 16 foot-lamberts in 3D (measured through Infitec's glasses). This is many times brighter than the theater's previous 3D 70mm system and far exceeds any "ultra-bright" industry standards.
"We're thrilled to be a part of this project," said Markus Fritz, COO of INFITEC GmbH. "We had to move a few mountains to make this happen but the results are incredibly gratifying. INFITEC is now uniquely positioned to provide 6P eyewear technology as giant screen venues turn to laser 3D in the coming years. Moody Gardens is now a flagship theater for us, and we will continue to improve on efficiency capabilities and giant screen eyewear designs in 2015."
"I'm so happy with the final result, the brightness and clarity is amazing," added Ronald La Faver, President of INFITEC Inc. "The vision of INFITEC on a pure laser based system came true."
This latest collaboration between D3D and Moody Gardens builds on a longstanding partnership. In January 2011, D3D and Moody co-hosted the first annual Digital Cinema Symposium, showcasing 4K projection technology on a giant screen for the first time, including the first 4K versus 70mm split screen shootout. The following year, at the 2012 Digital Cinema Symposium, D3D showcased the first 4K 3D, 11.1 3D audio, high frame rate demonstration as well as a prototype laser on a giant screen, all industry firsts. The 2012 event was a milestone, marking the first time that industry professionals overwhelmingly acknowledged that a digital presentation exceeded the quality of a 70mm film in a side-by-side comparison. A case study was recently published by D3D and Moody Gardens, illustrating the financial benefits and qualitative success of digital presentation and rebranding.

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Cooling Fan Assembly for your vehicle. Your Pontiac dealership isn't the only place to find genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your Bonneville. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today.
It requires a certain synergy - a need for many cooling components on your Pontiac Bonneville working in concert - to maintain constant engine temperature, and when one stops working your engine is in trouble. A very important one is the cooling fan assembly, and it will kick on after a temperature sensor detects the coolant is getting too hot. Most of the time your Pontiac Bonneville cooling fan assembly turns on suddenly is when your car or truck is not traveling fast; this is because there is not enough airflow into the radiator to lower the coolant temperature. While the cooling fan is running it is sucking air from in front of the radiator through its fins, the coolant inside the core loses its heat and then exits out the lower radiator hose and goes back to the engine.
Procuring new Pontiac parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Bonneville parts on the internet. Bring your Bonneville back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Pontiac Bonneville part for your project or repair. If your car or truck was built in 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1964, 1963, 1961, then you will find the correct Pontiac Bonneville Cooling Fan Assembly parts right here.
