The mystery would be why there are "a lot of Marbits".
We know that the tribes that become natural allies can pop units if given Schmuckers, and there has not been a statement that this needs to take place in the same hex as the income or the chieftan. In fact, we know that chieftans have natural thinkamancy that allows them to give some orders to the members of the tribe at remote distances. It is possible that the Marbits popping up near GK belong to a tribe that is receiving payments far away from GK. The individual Marbits encountered by GK could be kept ignorant of the fact that the tribe is receiving subsidies.

If such a mechanic exists, and if it follows the same rules as for city hexes, then the owning player could move units between these zones at will off-turn and with no move cost.effataigus wrote:Relatedly, would it cost move for a unit to move from tunnels outside of a city to the surface?

C'mon, that doesn't even make any sense. They would want to ensure that Stanley could not be ambushed at all, since all that is at stake is, y'know, the entire side. That includes the possibility that there is a veiled stack in a hex Stanley isn't going into, but which could attack him if he was stalled and could not return to GK, or if a side which acts before Stanley (you know, like Charley?) can get a veiled stack in place on one turn, and then attack Stanley's stack on the next turn simply by being near enough to do so.drachefly wrote:Only in the hexes Stanley would actually visit. They scan many many more hexes than that - and that's where the bulk of the risk of detection comes from.
Wait, what? Are you suggesting that all we need is a high enough level dittomancer and we'd get twice the comic goodness? Let's start leveling the dittomancers!raphfrk wrote:Sounds like you would have to clone Rob and Xin to get twice the output.
Exactly. You're assuming that this is the case in every turn. An assumption which I find to be improbable.Nnelg wrote:Now I just don't understand what you're going on about. All I was saying is that it only takes one tunnel that GK doesn't know about or doesn't search for a hypothetical insurgent force to have a safe haven where there's practically 0% chance of being discovered.
Agreed. Charlie is very risk adverse.cheeseaholic wrote:I just don't see Charlie taking the direct and dangerous approach when the indirect approach has little to no risk.
On the contrary, by canon Charlie prefers/only operates within situations in which there is no lose condition. This is the Overlord who spent a valuable mathamancy prediction and then sent exactly the number of archons needed to take the GK garrison in one turn, rather than leave the fight up to chance. This is the guy who was convinced to call off his own attack on GK based on the high probability that GK would own the 'pliers after their turn ended, and if they failed he still could capture Parson and the mathamancy bracer. This is the exact opposite of someone who is willing to risk more for a higher payout (and please don't cite the volcano as a counter argument. There was no rational reason for Charlie to have anticipated this). Charlie wants the highest reward for the least risk, and everything we've seen about him supports this.Nnelg wrote:Of course, I have absolutely no doubt that Charlie would take the option with the least risk and greatest reward. But we have no idea which options are available to him (or even which ones work in practice, not just theory).
And Charlie's a smart guy. He knows that sometimes it's better to take greater risks to get a shot at the greater reward.

Except, of course, that Stanley/GK is the single victim of (*Ptui*) Kingworld, and his smart CWL is well aware that their turn can be ended at any time.

At my son's wedding we used the Elvis sunglasses along with the inflatable guitar when the band played Rock & Roll music. All the guests loved posing for pictures using the 2 party favors. I will buy them again for my daughters wedding.
great for the price -
Dean, Medford, MA
Had these for my brothers bachelor party & it was great for us all to wear them to identify us as bachelor party members. The glasses look great if your looking for the cheap Elvis look & according to the label they're even 100% UV protection. Unfortunately they really don't last that long. By the end of the night, the glasses of half of the guys fell apart (might have to do will the alcohol being spilled around). Non-the-less definitely your money's worth.
Great item for the price! -
Memphis Brit, Memphis, TN
I bought these glasses for an Elvis themed client event. The glasses are a great product for it's use. Not too cheap looking and a great price. I would recommend them.
Good cost-quality -
mercedes, Bettendorf, IA
For the price they look good, and seem sturdy. I will buy them again.

Bosch Gasoline And Engine Management Book For Porsche®
A brief retrospective of early years in the history of the automobile is followed by a description of principles behind the operation, management and control of a gasoline (spark-ignition) engine. Descriptions of the cylinder-charge control, fuel-injection, ignition, and catalytic emission-control systems provide a comprehensive overview of the control mechanisms which are essential to the operation of a modern gasoline engine. The texts dealing with the Motronic engine-management system illustrate how this is put into practice. Particular emphasis is placed here on the diagnostic functions, which account for the ever more stringent requirements of emission-control legislations. Updated 3rd Edition. Hardcover, 6 3/4 in. x 9 3/8 in.

Wow, Rex Reed from The Observer took an unwarranted shit on The Master... Dickhead.
Wow, Rex Reed from The Observer took an unwarranted shit on The Master... Dickhead.
As an aside, after watching The Master on Saturday afternoon, we came home and watched Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Talk about a complete polar opposite in terms of acting styles! Still, I found it very charming and after so many years on this earth, I can finally see Marilyn Monroe's appeal (outside of, you know, physical attributes).
I love how Rex Reed references the Brown Derby, a place that's been closed for quite awhile I recall, which speaks volumes of how relevent a review by Rex Reed ever actually is.
review. You guys, the real visionary is Paul W.S. Anderson.
Watch [REC]3 Genesis. The co-director of [REC]2 ditches the Handicam and turns one of the best modern horror franchises into a goofy religious horror-comedy.
Watch Sleep Tight. The real director of the [REC] series turns in a surprisingly effective thriller about an apartment manager who just can't stand to see his tenants happy.
I have literally only read the first paragraph oof that so far, but isn't this
The exact opposite of what one wants to do as a filmmaker? Is this writer 16?Andersons images vivify the entire expanse of the wide screen to keep your eyes busy surveying the breadth of action
EDIT: This is satire, right?

Paul WS Anderson and Len Wiseman do the same thing: make crap movies for their hot wives to star in and have a gun in each hand. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same dude. On top of that, the Resident Evil and the Underworld movies look the same to me, outside of maybe the difference in color palettes.
I have had the distinct displeasure of meeting Rex Reed a few years ago. He's just a bitter old queen who probably still holds grudges over his own failed career as an actor.
Saw the Master in 70MM at Landmark - they went off with the cigarette burns in that film! Some parts felt like it they were dragging their feet, but overall there are two main themes in this movie to really explore: Bromance and Filipinos: Are they really that scary when 3-5 are chasing after you?
Hats off to the set design and art department for the time period, I know PTA loves his accuracy of time periods, the department store model makes one question when that job was dropped for manequins.... I'll definitely want to watch this again, Joaquin Phoenix is the man, so chaotic, lonely and dim all at the same time. I really felt when he was near what he desired, the beast within settled down, only to find another reason to lash out at the world. His character and the rest of the cast really reflect PTA's skill as a director. Amy Adams' performance is one that many may overlook, but I felt every time she had a moment on screen she gave a portion to the rest of the cast, but when she had her moment, she fucking made it known. The bathroom HJ with PSH. That's a fucking wife.
I know I'm not the only one who enjoys having a director like this apart of our generation. Definitely a film maker who gives his audience some material to digest.
Any one catch a showing of the Raiders of the Lost Ark rerelease? Its showing at the AMC here in a regular theater digital projection but I see its elsewhere in the liemax screens? But not at the true imax like at rave or citywalk? Weird and confusing. Anyways, worth going in some fashion im sure?
Meanwhile, the blus are out, and I hear they look really great, especially Raiders, since they did a new restoration and 4k transfer on that one.
I believe it's the same restoration being projected in theaters for Raiders but yes I don't get the point of putting it on the iMax screens of any size. Ive never seen it on the big screen so I guess I'll go check it out.
I think you could wait for a smaller theatre to screen it? The theatre off Beverly/La Brea has a lot of awesome screenings ALL of the time.
The Aero in Santa Monica WAS going to screen the new transfer of Raiders last month, but it got cancelled. I am guessing the wider theatrical re-release had something to do with that...
I'm old enough that I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark on a big curved 70mm film screen in its original release. I remember Toht's spectacles looking all creepy and kinda stretched due to the curvature of the screen on the side.
I loved this movie. Best part is my daughter wanted to attend all four films on one ticket at the local AMC - and skip the 4th movie. Good kid.
You've done well for a parent.
Gabe and I watched the Master tonight at the Dome. I'd highly recommend repeat viewings: I felt more of a connection with the characters and had more of an understanding of some of the more obscure twists and turns of the film. Freddy is a fascinating character, and I kind of can't wait until I see it again to get more out of his relationship with Dodd.
Yeah, I'm now very much of the opinion that The Master is, in fact, the landmark movie I had expected it to be. It has not necessarily been easy for me to reach this conclusion. After feeling eluded by the movie both before (missing the Aero sneak premiere; desperately avoiding the avalanche of online coverage during Venice and Toronto) and during my first viewing, I felt exhausted by the time I reached the end credits, confounded by a film that seemed to exist for the sole purpose of subverting my expectations. In spite of all there is to like about it, I walked out of it admiring much but feeling very little. Anyone familiar with my filmgoing life knows that this is not how I customarily respond to Paul Thomas Anderson movies.
But over the next couple of days, it occurred to me that part of my reservation was because the movie I thought I'd be seeing - which wasn't so much an "expose" of Scientology, but perhaps a more wide-reaching portrait of its impact - was not what PTA delivered, and that this was, in fact, totally in step with the reasons I'm drawn to his work. For a guy who has traversed so much of recent American history in his movies (I saw it pointed out this week on Twitter that his movies have covered ground in nearly decade of the 20th and 21st centuries), he's always felt decidedly less interested in drawing deep sociopolitical allegories than in telling stories of individual people. In this film, that puts the focus squarely on the relationship between two men of kindred spirit in the truest sense of the word (they couldn't differ more greatly on the surface), whose relationship is consistent only in the vagary of its true nature and the extent to which it impacts them permanently. Watching it a second time, I was amazed by how powerfully its narrative form translates those feelings.
As I said initially, it's critically important to be patient with this one. I feel like the current culture of film consumption is increasing its emphasis on instant reactions as final stances; it's a shame in general, but it's especially frustrating with a movie like this. The truly great, unforgettable films have always improved over time, and many don't even begin to reveal their powers on first viewing. In my mind, it's only a matter of time before The Master joins those ranks.
Guess I need to find out how much longer the arclight hw will have the 70 mm prints.
A weekday is a great day to see the 70mm - cheaper and less people. A lot of places are doing 70mm in the LA area I believe.

U.S.-based Narian Technologies has expanded its NFC app designed to reduce wait times for consumers in stores, restaurants and other retail establishments to also support targeted advertising and offers.
U.S.-based NFC application developer Narian Technologies said it plans to launch pilots with a large department store chain and large supermarket chain by the first quarter of 2012.
Taiwanese mobile operators have sold a combined 4.2 million NFC-enabled phones and hope to launch their joint TSM platform by the end of the year.
Payment network China UnionPay and China-based handset maker ZTE have disclosed an agreement to enable contactless payment on embedded chips in two of ZTE's latest high-end Android phones.
As the Hungarian Mobile Wallet Association prepares to enable its members to commercially launch NFC mobile payments, it has released the results of its 12-month NFC payments and loyalty pilot along with a survey of users.
Swiss telco Swisscom has launched an NFC mobile wallet app called Tapit, with the country's two other major telcos expected to follow later in 2014.
France-based telco Orange and Air France, along with airline industry and information technology services provider SITA have launched a trial of an NFC boarding pass application for the airline's route from Toulouse to Paris, and SITA is also piloting Bluetooth low energy beacons at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
NFC Times Exclusive: Both Visa and MasterCard plan to offer their own HCE services to banks and other issuers to help the financial institutions launch host-card emulation, as the payment networks continue to try to expedite the rollout of HCE technology for NFC mobile payments, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive: Host-card emulation represents an "inflection point" for driving the rollout of NFC mobile payments and could also help the SIM-based NFC ecosystem to become more efficient and less costly, the head of payments innovation for major Spanish bank BBVA told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive: With its high rate of smartphone ownership, strong contactless-payment infrastructure and well-developed NFC ecosystem, Canada is increasingly seen as a market to watch for NFC commercial deployments.
Spanish bank BBVA is claiming to be the first bank to commercially launch payments with host-card emulation, announcing today an upgrade of its Android mobile-wallet app incorporating Visa's HCE specifications.
Russian Standard Bank launched its long-planned NFC-payments service on embedded chips in Samsung NFC devices, under an earlier partnership deal between Samsung Electronics and MasterCard Worldwide.
The next major Android upgrade, code-named Android L, includes changes to the way host-card emulation handles default applications for payment, according to a developer preview.
France's mobile-operator-led NFC association, AFSCM, has dropped its long-held NFC logo and touchpoint symbol for nonpayment services, Cityzi, in favor of on logo based on EMVCo's contactless-payment acceptance mark.

The trend for stores to open earlier and earlier to take advantage of Black Friday sales—even to the point of opening on Thanksgiving Day—has prompted an online petition drive to give Thanksgiving back to employees and their families.
The original petition was reportedly created by a Target employee upset that the retail giant is opening on Thanksgiving and requiring employees to work instead of spending time with their families.
Target stores will open their doors at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Now, there are more than 194,945 signatures on the petition.
(Check out the petition here.)
A press release from Change.org reported that they have seen dozens of new petitions pop up about Black Friday hours.
"Following a Sears announcement last week that the company would open store doors at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving evening, Change.org users launched more than 40 new petitions calling on retailers to allow families to spend Thanksgiving together and stick to Black Friday opening times," the press release stated.
Following are just a few of the comments from creators and signers of the petitions:
- "My wife works for Sears as a lead and they are forcing her to work two 12 hour shifts in a 30 hour period. She will have no time before or after the holiday to spend with family. This goes out to all employees in the same position." Matthew Frankowski, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
- "I've worked retail for 12 years but have never had to work Thanksgiving until this year. My family would not understand or believe it!" Paul Kessler, a Sears employee from Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
- "Retail employees should be able to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. Give them the day off. They will work their tails off for you for the next month. They deserve Turkey Day with family and friends!" Jennifer Dianovsky, Chicago.
- "I, as a responsible consumer and retail employee, have never, nor will I ever, shop at a store that is open on holidays. If it is so important for your bottom line then all the corporate big shots should give up their holiday with their families and go in and open and work those stores on those hours." Roxanne DeRosa, Naperville, IL.
The New York Daily News reported that "copycat" petitions have also been created asking Macy's, Best Buy, Old Navy and Kohl's to reconsider their plans to open at midnight on Thanksgiving.
Here are just some of the more than 40 trending "Save Thanksgiving" petitions on Change.org:
What do you think? Are Black Friday specials getting out of hand and starting to replace the Thanksgiving holiday itself? Do you look forward to Black Friday? Or is Black Friday something that you avoid?

I'm curious what you other computer audio guys are using in your computer audio rigs. I figured it would be neat to get a list of rigs going: What platform are you on (Win/Mac/Other), what software are you running, and what's your audio gear?
I'll start
iMac OSX Lion
iTunes w/Amarra HiFi (runs on top of iTunes, replaces iTunes with much better sound engine)
Musical Fidelity V-Link
Peachtree Dac-IT
Schiit Calhalla tube amp feeding Sennheiser HD600 headphones
Woo Audio WA6 tube amp feeing Sennheiser HD700
Swan M200MkIII Speakers
I also own Pure Music, Decibel, Audirvana, and BitPerfect as alternatives to Amarra, but prefer Amarra over all of them. There rumor of JRiver coming to Mac as well...

Missing Petaluma woman's body found in South Lake Tahoe
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 8:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 4:31 p.m.
STATELINE, Nev. — For three increasingly frantic days, family members and friends had searched for Alyssa Byrne, 19, of Petaluma. On Friday morning they began mourning her death, their hopes dashed by the discovery of her body in a snowbank in South Lake Tahoe.
Photo Galleries
A worker atop an elevated utility truck spotted the body just as search and rescue crews were launching their efforts for the day, and just as Byrne's father, Kevin, was rounding up fliers to distribute in the hope of generating clues to her whereabouts.
"I couldn't stand now if I wanted to," Kevin Byrne said several hours later, seated at a table with his brother and friends at the Horizon Casino Resort in Stateline, where his daughter had stayed while attending a three-day music festival.
Authorities said there were no preliminary signs of traumatic injury or foul play.
Byrne wiped back tears as he described calling his wife, Kimberly Miller-Byrne, in Petaluma with the news.
"My wife couldn't speak," he said. "Thankfully, she was surrounded by family and friends ... when I had to give her the worst news of her life."
Until 9 a.m. Friday, Kevin Byrne had been working with two dozen family members and friends to print new fliers about his daughter and raising reward money in excess of $10,000 — all to ensure his daughter made it back home.
But she lay hidden from view just 10 feet off a busy road and a mile or so from the Lake Tahoe Community College campus where the SnowGlobe Music Festival was held.
Douglas County, Nev., Undersheriff Paul Howell said she was lying uncovered and that the case would remain under investigation.
"Our condolences to Alyssa's family and friends," Howell said in announcing her death at a news conference. "It's an ending we did not want to see. Our hearts go out to the family."
Kevin Byrne described his daughter, the youngest of two children, as a "stud athlete" who played on boys' Little League teams until she was 14.
She was a "little girl who wore a baseball cap everywhere she went." Later, she embraced lacrosse, playing first for the club at Casa Grande High School, where she graduated in 2011, and later for the Petaluma High School club, which she thought was better.
"She has a great energy about her," he said, echoing the comments of numerous friends who described Byrne as a fun-loving, social butterfly who knew practically everyone in town.
She had been attending Santa Rosa Junior College in hope of becoming a paramedic/firefighter and was working as a hostess at Cattlemens restaurant.
He said he was at the Sheriff's Office at 9 a.m. Friday when he was informed that a body believed to be his daughter's had been found. His worst fear was confirmed about 45 minutes later through a unique tattoo on her wrist.
Kevin Byrne said he might have tried to stop his daughter from attending SnowGlobe had he known more about the event. But she was 19 and headstrong, and he conceded she might not have listened.
She left for the event Saturday with three friends who shared a room at the Horizon and attended the festival together, though many other friends from Petaluma were in the crowd.
Jay Donnellan, a Casa Grande classmate and friend who was traveling with her, said he last saw Byrne around 11 p.m. Monday, New Year's Eve, when she left the concert early though it was the festival's final night.
He said she was ahead of her three friends in a crowd when she disappeared without a word, though she called about 30 minutes later and told Donnellan she was taking a shuttle bus back to the Horizon.
Howell said there were "transportation issues" with the shuttle that night, and Byrne may have elected, like many other concert-goers, to walk the four miles or so back to the Stateline casino/hotel district.
Kevin Byrne said he was told authorities' best guess was she had climbed the snow berm to get off the road and either slipped and fell or went to sleep, succumbing to the elements on a night the mercury dipped into single digits.
Several friends have said shuttle traffic was stalled by fireworks and a street celebration in the middle of Highway 50 as the stroke of midnight neared.
Friends also said Byrne had been drinking, although they also called her responsible and smart and able to take care of herself.
"Honestly, everyone was intoxicated," said Chanel Kelly, 16, of Petaluma, who also attended the festival. "But she didn't seem like she was going off the deep end. She was really responsible and kind of maternal, and definitely didn't need anybody taking care of her. But I guess this time was the time we should have been."
Authorities said the last reliable record of use of Byrne's cellphone was at 11:53 p.m. Monday.
It remains unclear how another friend, Petaluma resident Micah Alex, could have seen her back at the Horizon Hotel around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, as he has said.
Alex, who was staying at another hotel, said he and his girlfriend crossed paths with her in a ground-floor passageway near the lobby at that time.
Asked Friday if it was possible he mistook the time, Alex said no but declined additional comment.
Howell, the Douglas County sheriff, said eyewitness testimony can be unreliable, particularly when one does not anticipate it having lasting importance.
He said investigators also would consider whether Byrne might have returned to the casino and gone back out to the concert area for some reason.
In Petaluma on Friday, a crowd of friends and supporters joined reporters and TV satellite trucks outside the Byrnes' Bryce Canyon Court home on the east side of town.
Inside, Kimberly Miller-Byrne, her son, Greg, and other relatives and friends holed up, leaving public comment to her husband.
Kevin Byrne said he had tried to get to his daughter's body in the snow but was prevented from doing so by investigators, who had the area cordoned off. He said he hoped to see her before returning to Petaluma.
In a written statement, he expressed gratitude to those "who came to help search for her" and "spent hours and hours handing out fliers and supporting our family in every way they could. We owe you a debt of thanks."
"I also want to thank the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, the Search and Rescue crew and everyone else who spread the word and tried to bring Alyssa home safely," his statement said.
Byrne's body was found just outside South Lake Tahoe in El Dorado County, which is in California. The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office will now lead the ongoing investigation into her death, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said.
"We don't shut down the investigation," Howell said. "We'll try to get an answer for the family, and for the investigation, on what occurred and what led to this."

First post, i'll formally introduce myself later today if work slows down a little more. :)
Anyways, there's a guy local to me selling a pair of 11T, with this picture attached:
Now, every picture of 11T that i can manage to pull up online doesn't have that weird silver cone on the bottom driver (i believe it's passive, please correct me if i'm wrong.)
Does anyone know anything about this? Or should that be indication for me to step away? I'm not paying much for these if i get them ($70), so i'm just looking to find out if it's worth the risk (and gas) to drive 30 miles to pick them up.
Just looking for something to compliment my VS-25s (yep, i've got a pair) in the bedroom. :)
Thanks in advance!

PORTLAND - A Portland mother of four has transformed her home, raising her children the "French" way.
It's drastically different from the "helicopter parenting" some say has become the American way.
"In this country, we tend to let the kids run the house and the parents aren't in charge," said Pam Kirwin.
She read about French child-rearing in the book "Bringing Up Bebe" by American author Pamela Druckerman, who's raising three children in Paris.
"The French believe that a household that's catered entirely around the children at every moment is not going to be much fun for the parents and it's also not going to be good for the children," said Druckerman in a recent Skype interview.
The French principles can be seen at work during meal time in the Kirwin home. Her preschool-aged boys Jake and Finn willingly eat vegetables and liverwurst.
"I love it," said Jake, referring to the protein portion of his second course.
In all, they eat four courses and snacking is limited to just one a day. "One snack at 4:30 in the afternoon," Jake explained.
The children have to at least try something they say they don't like, before moving on to the next course.
"Vegetables are served first, and they're so hungry from not snacking, they eat them right up. Before we started this, Jake used to gag on green beans," remembered his mom.
The French way goes beyond the kitchen table.
The Kirwins also have a 2-month-old and Pam is practicing what the book calls "the pause."
"I don't pick her up immediately when she cries. I pause to see if she settles herself. She was sleeping through the night by six weeks," she says.
Druckerman says the French limit baby talk, instead conversing with their children using more adult language.
"I've met several parents who bring newborns home from the hospital and give them a tour using very grown-up terms," she said.
Older children are taught that adults in the house get alone time every night.
"Often, parents will say 'the bedroom is our castle. You can knock but this is our private realm,'" explained Druckerman.
The French way has meant a fresh start for the Kirwin family, but the real benefit they believe, is yet to come.
"It probably would be devastating if they get to the point where they're at their first job and they realize the world doesn't revolve around them. This just seems more like the way my mom raised us," she concluded.
A recent lecture by the author of "Bringing Up Bebe" sponsored by Alliance Francaise Portland drew a sellout crowd of more than 100 parents. It may be a sign more parents in the area are choosing to bring up their children the French way.

**N.O. SyntheSize was Designed to Enhance:
Explosive Lean Muscle Growth with Research-Proven Science!
If you want to speed up lean muscle growth, get this one fact straight: Insulin is the most Anabolic (muscle building) of all hormones. In fact, insulin triggers more lean muscle growth than Anabolic Steroids or Growth Hormone!
Consequently, the goal of sugar-free SyntheSize is to promote massive increases in insulin without the use of high glycemic index carbohydrates and thus, prevent insulin resistance. Therefore, SyntheSize provides a carbohydrate free approach utilizing research-proven compounds to boost insulin that have no adverse effect on blood sugar. This method keeps the body highly sensitive and responsive to insulin resulting in greater lean muscle growth and destruction of fat tissue. Efficient insulin metabolism also allows you to continually access stored body fat to use as energy. The end result of the "Zero Impact" Diet Strategy is a ripped and muscular physique!
Making Carbohydrates Obsolete
In assembling the pieces of the scientific puzzle, SyntheSize was formulated to mimic the insulin response generated by high glycemic (high GI) carbs (i.e. sugar) to activate beta-cells and stimulate whole body creatine retention! One of the solutions was to use bis-Picolinato Oxo-Vanadium (BPOV) which is a potent form of chemically altered Vanadium that makes beta-cells super responsive to insulin. Additionally, Beta-Alanine was employed to stimulate research-proven whole-body creatine retention! In fact, these two compounds are far more effective than sugar-laden "N.O." supplements without the unwanted carb-induced side effects -- water retention, bloating, and an increase in body fat. You train intensely to get lean, hard, and pumped with crisp, water-free muscle separation, and this is where sugar-free SyntheSize out-performs the competition!
Research has proven that the cutting-edge compounds contained in SyntheSize work synergistically to effectively stimulate insulin secretion. VPX scientists used a carb-free approach to achieve greater receptiveness of the beta-cells by taking advantage of the efficient insulin spiking abilities of protein hydrolysates and the potent anabolic amino acid, L-Leucine. When post-exercise insulin is increased in the presence of protein hydrolysates and leucine, massive amounts of muscle building amino acids flood the blood resulting in significant net protein being deposited into muscle. Finally, the ingestion of creatine in conjunction with proteins and high-GI carbs is no longer required to stimulate whole-body creatine retention! Synthesize re-wrote cutting edge carb-free muscle science.
Owoc's Research-Proven 7-Compound-Protocol to Ignite Synthesis of Lean Muscle
1) Whey and Casein Protein Hydrolysates these extraordinary proteins increase insulin production by 110% greater than carbs alone and increase glycogen synthesis by 35%. Whey and Casein Protein Hydrolysates are far superior to intact proteins such as whey, casein and egg for promoting nitrogen utilization and muscle growth. The powerful lean muscle building effect occurs after consuming Protein Hydrolysates prior to, during and after training. These specialized peptides dump into the blood rapidly causing super high blood levels of amino acids and increased production of the powerful anabolic hormone, insulin. These two physiological events result in a potent anabolic (muscle building) response in the body. SyntheSize contains copious amounts of Whey and Casein Protein Hydrolysates. These potent protein fractions are comprised of 22% Glutamine Peptide, 41% total peptide bonded Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) and 21% peptide bonded BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids)! This is important because muscle consists of 78% glutamine while BCAA's and EAA's are the most potent research-proven muscle building amino acids.
2) L-Leucine intermixed with Protein Hydrolysates has an even greater effect on insulin production and muscle growth than Protein Hydrolysates alone. SyntheSize is rich in added free form L-Leucine and Leucine Peptides.
3) Cutting Edge High Tech Creatines It is well documented in research that insulin transports Creatine into muscle tissue. Further, Creatine combined with protein increases creatine retention within the muscle cell and results in increased lean muscle mass. More insulin means more creatine -- greater muscle mass, quicker recovery and increased strength! SyntheSize contains the most anabolic proteins known to man and several cutting edge high tech Creatines, such as Creatinol-O-Phosphate & Di-Na Creatine Phosphate Tetrahydrate that all exert specialized effects in promoting lean muscle growth, strength and ATP Resynthesis!
4) Beta-Alanine radically improves whole body Creatine retention and muscle Carnosine, consequently, vastly improving strength, repetition capability, endurance and lean muscle growth. The synergy of intermixing Protein Hydrolysates, Leucine, Creatine and Beta-Alanine along with resistance training results in explosive muscle growth! Beta-Alanine is so powerful you can actually feel it working within seconds because of the unique parasalsys action of the muscles and skin.
5) BPOV (bis-Picolinato Oxo-Vanadium) increases the beta cell's sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin. This is hugely important because the kinetics and dynamics of insulin dictate that it is not how much you produce, but more importantly, how "insulin responsive" or efficient your body utilizes insulin to shuttle Creatine, Beta-alanine, Leucine and other muscle energetic compounds into the muscle cell to manufacture more lean muscle. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Americans are insulin resistant to some degree. If you have any degree of insulin resistance, your ability to use insulin is compromised. Therefore, it doesn't really matter how much insulin your body releases because you are "resistant" to insulin's ability to build muscle (anabolism). Less overall carbohydrate consumption (glycemic load) and elimination of high glycemic index dietary carbs along with higher protein intake, BPOV supplementation and increasing muscle mass via resistance training are all factors that increase insulin sensitivity and utilization.
6) N.O. + Pumping Agents Finally, we added some radical new compounds to induce a serious Nitric Oxide Pump. The Nitric Oxide Releasing Factor, GBBEE (Gamma-Butyrobetaine Ethyl Ester) was combined along with the most powerful NO-inducing-Arginine known to science called ALCA (Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginine HCl) -- making all other forms of Arginine obsolete. Nitric Oxide (N.O.) is the mother of all compounds at filling the muscle (and other body parts) with nutrient dense, blood-engorged hard, dense pumps!
7) Spiking the Pump even further, "MTB Pump" (Magnesium Tashinoate B) was combined with the powerful compound BPOV noted for insulin-induced pumps and muscle fullness. And, of course, all of these cutting edge nutrients and compounds work in concert to set off a biochemical chain of events that aid in rapid muscle recuperation.

I know a stay at home mom who seems to have it all-Wealthy husband, housekeeper, new luxury vehicles every year or so, vacations abroad, etc. I used to sort of hate her because she had it so "easy", until I found out that one of her daughters is special needs, will likely always need specialized care, and recently developed seizures. Most of her care is provided by her Mother, so she's not fobbing that responsibility off. She'll never be "free".Quote:

The thing is, none of the women who say things like this to me are struggling financially. Each of them could afford to take a few years off of work if they so desire.
But, they don't want to! Which, of course, is perfectly fine - or at least it should be! Unfortunately, enter the "Mommy Wars" and Bill Sears...
Women are made to feel guilty for wanting to go back to work. So they make excuses for going back, and tell themselves that they would *prefer* to stay home. If only they *could* (sigh).
My SIL just loves to tell me that she envies me so much. She wishes she could afford to stay home. She even has the option of going part time for a few years, but "can't" do that either - 'cause, well, then their household income might fall below $200k for a few years.
The grass is not always greener. How do you think the Father of your children feels about having to bust his ass to support four people? Instead of envying others who have "more" than you do, why not make frieds with those communal Hispanic women in your area? Maybe you could meet someone you click with who could provide company and share baby sitting with.
I get annoyed at women telling me that I'm "lucky" - women who could easily afford to stay home themselves, but choose not to (which, of course, is perfectly fine) and somehow that means that I lack empathy?
I'm annoyed at women who feel entitled to an opinion about lifestyle, in spite of the fact that they have made different choices in life.
Boy, judging other women is sure a good time! Trying to see things from someone else's point of view?
It's nice that you have so much sympathy for my "poor husband" though. I'll be sure to let him know. That ought to give him a laugh. He has a posh management job with low stress and a good salary. D
If you don't want to be "judged" maybe you shouldn't post online how people are lucky they're not in the same room with you when they dare to comment on your public comments, wish people dead, and want to remove some poor guy's testicles with a rusty spoon.
Yeah, I do feel sorry for your husband. A lot.

TygerTyger, I would gladly watch your kiddies for a few hours in exchange for the entertainment of watching you detach some testicles with a rusty spoon. I don't mind watching kids as long as I get something useful out of the deal. Money isn't always necessary for me, I'm all for bartering and slapstick entertainment counts for a lot in my world. I don't even care whose testicles you detach, you pick.

Just want to say I know some couples who adopted/raised babies born with drugs in their system. While it worked out long-term, for the first couple years it was complete hell. And that's with no other children in the picture. I don't know how much that applies to tygertyger, but anyone willing to take in a baby born to a meth addict has my respect.
And yes, it does get better. So hang in there.
Yes, drug addicted babies are extremely taxing. I have only taken care of those babies for a very short time with lots of other people around to give me a break or two. If you are caring for an addicted baby 24/7/365 plus another infant, you may feel like no one understands what you are going through and the amount of energy is required.
If you are caring for a drug addicted baby, you may not feel you can go out of your house/living room because you don't know what to anticipate or if you can handle everything - including the people who will tell you how you should raise your children. Comments such as "can't you control your children. You shouldn't take children out in public if you can't control them, blah,blah, blah..."
Not anymore, ma cher. Rather than stay and stew in misery and resent him, I left. I chose to remember the good and learn from the bad. Plenty of people have it much better than me, and plenty have it worse.Honey, are you married?
[QUOTE=leesaleesa;. Plenty of people have it much better than me, and plenty have it worse.[/QUOTE]
It isn't a competition. Just because I'm frustrated, and a bit overwhelmed, doesn't mean that I think I "have it worse" than other people.
My husband wants to know if the concern shown him on this thread translates to dollars. He would like to buy a pressure-washer
Thanks to the ladies who have cared for drug exposed infants. So far our little guy is healthy. He does have a few minor physical issues. But, of course, there is no way to definitely pin them on the BM's Meth use.
His behavior has been fairly normal so far. Though is is higher energy than our biological son. Most of the stress has been waiting for the results of various tests (BM has HIV and HEP C) and also the prolonged and expensive process of terminating the BM's parental rights (she refused to sign him over.)

Well, I for one would hate to be a SAHM, even if I had the money to do it. It's not in me to be maternal all day every day. And I don't feel one ounce of guilt over it. My nanny is amazing with the baby, and our older one goes to a great school that he loves and is working well for him. If I were home with them all the time I'd go nuts.
I adore my kids, but don't feel that maternal, and never did. As Miranda on Sex and The City said, " I don't like anyone's kids but my own." I've been told by a few people that I'm a great mom, and my kids are healthy and happy.
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
I feel so bad for my coworker. I asked her what she was doing this weekend, and she sighed and said, "Kid stuff. Soccer games, soccer coaching, gymnastics, cooking, cleaning..." I'm sure she could let up on say, her ridiculously high standard of cleanliness for just one weekend, but she feels like a terrible mother if she lets a single speck fall on the floor anywhere in her house. I wish she could give herself a break.
I understand feeling sorry for someone if they catch a bad break or run into a streak of bad luck or are the victim of forces beyond their control or even if they made a stupid decision somewhere along the line that negatively impacted their life, but volunteer soccer coaching? She can quit. That would give her more time to run the vacuum cleaner 5 times a day.

Some knowledge about baseball is much easier to get from personal observation than from statistics. (Does he look good in the field? Is he a confident or tentative baserunner?)

Jesse over at TwinkieTown published an essay over the holiday weekend which was the result of a bit of soul-searching over Kirby Puckett and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Jesse's point seems to be that, when comparing Puckett to the other centerfielders in the Hall of Fame, Puckett may be far below the best, but he's certainly not the worst and he's also not unworthy of being in the Hall. I may need to turn in my contrarian bona-fides for this, but I find myself largely agreeing with Jesse. I continue

I ordered this in Rose, size XL. I have some extra weight to conceal on a cruise that's coming up soon and thought this blouse looked like it would do that. The material is light, summery and very pretty. It doesn't wrinkle at all. It's very slimming. I will dress it up a little on the cruise with a chunky coral color necklace and earrings and some skinny white slacks and small heels for dinner. It's perfect and I'm considering buying another in the blue color.

Still, a $1000 POWER CORD?
"The Python CX benefits from a massive array of 280 conductors culled from Shunyata's CDA 101 copper. The conductors are wound into a dual counter rotating Helix geometry that has been proven to reduce the effects of radiated noise and internal, unwanted reflections. The Python CX's massive conductor compliment is capable of delivering over 30 amps of current to even the most current hungry amplifier or powered speaker. Terminations are Shunyata's own, optimized SR-ZP AC and IEC connectors. Finally, the Python CX undergoes Shunyata's exclusive Alpha Cryogenic conductor treatment processes before being finished and ready for application!"
Its hard for me to understand how a few feet of $1000 power cable can make a difference when there is basic building THHN-TFFN Wire that cost $50 for a 500 ft roll run in the wall? How is the expensive cable going to overcome the standard residential wiring?
I hope to hear these 'night and day" differences some day that others speak of. Yes, I've heard awesome sounding home systems with uber expensive cables. I've even heard car audio systems with uber expensive Kimber Kable, Seas Nextel drivers Focal beryllium tweets...the system was super detailed....but I have yet to participate in a double blind test of cables on a worthy ref system.
I think I now have an open mind but knowledgeable enough with a good enough ear to sort through the BS.

radaar168 weeks agoSomething related to Avatar: The Last Airbender!
Also, the works of Joss Whedon are always appreciated.
Cornetto3168 weeks agoPretty much anything Joss Whedon. Preferbly Dr. Horrible or Buffy since there haven't been any of them yet. Although the Firefly ones have been amazing.
Also anything Quentin Tarantino, Coen Brothers, Lord of the Rings, Breaking Bad (would LOVE to see another shirt from it) and many other awesome things.
Halflegend168 weeks agoSomething with more of a timeless classic appeal. Something I can wear if going to high school or going to visit a college or socializing with adults. Something that doesn't require arcane gamer knowledge or other pop culture references that will be outdated in 3 months rendering my shirt awkward and pointless. Maybe something with more of an art-based design. Something that attracts the eye because its just plain out different. Maybe get some off centered shirts or something where it isnt just a character in the center of a t-shirt, if I wanted that I'd go to Kohls, not come to you guys! Thanks!
TheSaint08D168 weeks agoAll Whedon.
Want A Han Solo/Mal Reynolds shirt
Sabacc (Star wars card game ...it won Han the Falcon)
Stargate (SG-1)
Blood Bowl
Cowboy Bebop
H.P. Lovecraft / E. A. Poe
anti-FOX (hey Im a browncoat)
DarkDragon168 weeks agoWould like more modern video game shirts, just like today's Fallout shirt! Once a blockbuster has been around long enough to get a sequel, it is probably good to be printed.
Like: Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Modern Warfare, Gears of War, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy (like the Choco shirt)
king_minos168 weeks agoi think i might have to agree with dark dragon im definitely looking forward to a gears of war shirt. or maybe something very abstract. other suggestions: more robots, skeletons and artsier shirts please. maybe even zombies
scourgey168 weeks agoOkay. I'll try this once, and if nobody else takes up the cause then fine, I guess I really am alone in this boat: ARTEMIS FOWL.
You know you're out there, Colfer fans, there's more of us than people would think. Speak up, stand in solidarity with me! Personally, I'd totally die to see a design featuring the Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit (LEPrecon), or even a more oblique reference to Spud's Spud Emporium or Koboi Labs. And by "die" I mean buy multiple shirts.
TheSaint08D168 weeks ago"One is never alone with a rubber duck"~Douglas Adams...I like rubber ducks.
Im all for some cool imagery -Tarot Cards, swords, dragons, wolves, Heavy metal Iconic type, literary (Lovecraft, Poe, King, Adams etc), werewolves, Glaive, and such that others want.
bteeshirt168 weeks agoPercy Jackson?
More off center designs
tpparker168 weeks agoI would really love to a(nother) creative Pulp Fiction piece. Thanks.
SoftSerenity168 weeks agoAny chance we can get a Supernatural or Charmed shirt? I'd love to see them or like Buffy represented as well. And I saw another suggestion that I gotta second we need Stargate SG-1! :D Thanks for your time.
artistic168 weeks agoWhile I know you guys probably make more money on pop culture tees I would love to see some of the much more artistic designs like the ones you can see from the first year of teefury in the gallery. I wholeheartedly agree with halflegend.
Choco_Luv168 weeks agoSome anime/manga related shirts would be cool, like Bleach, Reborn, Samurai Champloo, or something.
Alonepants168 weeks agosomething involving Gingy "the gingerbread man" off Shrek. Like a quote from any of the movies or just anything in general because he is awesome.
SheTokesIt168 weeks agoDARIA!
JuiceBox168 weeks agoI recently saw some sideart from an artist that had Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon sitting in an open Pokeball. I would absolutely LOVE to see it get printed!
Ninas168 weeks agowould love Cowboy Bebop and Buffy or Angel...or something about Terry Gilliam and his work or Hayao Miyazaki related
RobenMonster168 weeks agosomething lady gaga since her album is coming out soon. :] thanks
ethanwright168 weeks agoSomething zelda, it has been awhile since there has been any zelda shirts which has been quite a disappointment, i'm sure if done correctly a zelda shirt would be a huge it.
Dr. Who (although there are lots of Dr. Who shirts maybe something celebrating new season)
Game of thrones?
Art designs are always cool
thefont168 weeks agoSomething to celebrate Robert Johnson's centenary next Sunday.
Asami168 weeks agoI'm only here for the LOST shirts and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
foxykitten168 weeks agomiyazaki related tee or my favourite tv show spaced..
RozenLylac168 weeks agoHelp us surviving the coming "hiatus" period, after the season finale.
Give us a FRINGE tshirt, please!
pixhunter168 weeks agoMore Lord of the Rings please!
24 and Indiana Jones
dukeps168 weeks agoSomething inspired by the intro to the TV show I.T. Crowd where each character is portrayed as an 8-bit cartoon.

Free Report
- By Stacey Oke, DVM, MSc
- May 11, 2010
Electrolytes are compounds that conduct electricity when in solution. In horses the most abundant and important electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium. These electrolytes are involved in a variety of basic cell functions, including muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission. Loss of electrolytes and electrolyte imbalances have far-reaching consequences, impacting virtually every equine body system.
The average horse needs to drink 27-30 liters of water per day. In hot climates or during strenuous exercise, as many as 10-12 liters of water can be lost per hour through sweat alone. Loss of water during exercise and sweating is hypothesized to increase the osmolality of the blood, making horses want to drink to replenish lost fluids.

I have my Monitor 5b's set up in my 2 channel room and have them hooked to my Marantz 2252B receiver, and have been doing some comparisons between my tube rig and my LSI m 703's.
While the 703's are a real treat to listen to, smooth and refined never sounding out of place or struggling to reproduce the right tone I gotta say that the 5B's in combination with the old school smoothness of the Marantz, really sound fine. The 703's bass has way more depth and refinement as you would expect, but given the age and technology of the 80's i am a little stunned about how easy they are to listen to and can say they are not junk compared to the 703's.
Hell I have even played them all at the same time and they don't clash at all. I kinda expected that the 5B's would not hold up, but they do... I really like having a retro rig to listen to... I always loved the way 70's and 80's rock sounded on them, but never had anything quite like the Marantz to drive them with.
Next up.... I think I'll hook my VR3 LSi 9's to the Yammy M80 for spits and giggles and see how they sound in comparison in the room.
