This week's guest blogger is Lauren Lorenzo, Director, Camp Strong4Life.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you?
- My children refuse to drink anything but soda or juice and say they don't like the taste of water.
- My daughter won't put on a bathing suit and swim anymore because she's too self-conscious.
- When I look through his backpack, I find food I didn't buy.
- My son gets out of breath walking up the stairs.
- My daughter's teacher says she has trouble concentrating and lacks energy.
Have you ever thought, "I know we probably need to make some changes at home, but between my job, homework and after-school activities, I just don't have the time to even think about where to start"?
I'm a mom…so I get it. We didn't get an owner's manual when we became parents and there's no 800 number to call when we have questions, especially when it comes to our kid's nutrition and health.
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the place you have always trusted for expert pediatric care, knows that keeping your family healthy is a priority. That's why our expert team of doctors, psychologists, exercise experts and dietitians created Camp Strong4Life.
Located at Camp Twin Lakes and overseen by our pediatricians, Camp Strong4Life caters to children struggling with their weight and dealing with the health/social issues that come with that struggle (like many of those above). While enjoying the time-honored summer camp experiences all kids love, your child will also learn how to live a healthier life. Now, as parents we know that the only way real change happens at home is when everyone is involved and working together, right? That's why Camp Strong4Life isn't just for the camper, but the whole family!
Camp kicks-off with a high-energy Family Welcome Weekend in the spring. While the kids find out about all the fun they will have and new things they will learn, you will meet with our expert staff and attend seminars and meetings to get all the information and support you'll need. Then, during the summer, kids return for a week of overnight camp with great camp fun: swimming, rock-wall climbing, archery, zip-lining, playing games, building friendships and making memories that last a lifetime. In the fall, our Family Reunion Weekend brings families and camp experts back together to share and cement lessons learned and lifestyle changes made. Together, we'll celebrate your wins and reinforce your new habits with the care and encouragement you expect from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Think Camp Strong4Life might be a good fit for your child/children? Click here for more information about the program, including general and medical requirements (ex: age range, BMI, etc.), application forms and cost information.
As Camp Director and a mom, I firmly believe that when you lower your child's risk for serious long-term medical issues, you not only make them healthier, but happier – which is what Camp Strong4Life is all about! If your child does attend camp this summer, please be sure to find me and say hello – I look forward to meeting each and every one of you!
Strong4Life is a movement created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to address the childhood obesity medical crisis that is threatening nearly one million kids in Georgia. For information about Strong4Life visit our website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Strong4Life Blog.

UPDATE: T.I. just called in to V103 to explain everything...listen here.
Tonight T.I. played a major part in talking down a suicidal man off the ledge of a 22-story building in his hometown of Atlanta. Earlier this afternoon, police had responded to a 911 call regarding a man threatening to jump off a building. That building happened to be home to radio personality Ryan Cameron's Radio show. Once T.I. heard about the jumper on the radio, he called up Cameron and asked if there was anything he could do. Cam told Tip to come through, where he met authorities and recorded an encouraging video message which police then played for the jumper. Once the man saw the video he agreed to step off the ledge...where the two had a chance to talk things over!

Horse Adoption Part 1: Before You Adopt

- Sep 01, 2011
With many horses in need of homes, adoption is often an attractive alternative to buying; however, it requires a serious human commitment. Adoption is not the right choice for everyone, but those considering adoption have plenty of options from retired racehorses to wild horses and everything in between.

text: She's my favorite of the past 6 years, and I'm a very hard-to-please figure skating fan. Her programs since 2005 were the best of any lady every single season. She is very versatile with her program choices, and her commitment to the choreography every time she gets out there. I love watching her skate around, and her jumps are my spectacular. I can't think of any lady who has a better 3toe, 3sal, 3loop, or 3flip. Her edges and speed blow me away, and whenever she's in a competition I find myself looking forward to her performances more than any of the other ladies.

A whisper of powdery periwinkle blue is captured in this delicate floral enhancer. A serene blue lace agate cabochon is set within graceful polished sterling silver petals. Feel feminine in this serenely blooming accent. The enhancer measures 1-1/2" long x 5/8" wide with a snap hinge bail. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Experience the softer side of the Southwest with the Calla Lily Collection. The subtle sophistication of this flower is reflected in the sculptural, feminine design of layered sterling silver. Brilliant petals unfold to reveal a glorious pillow of fine blue lace agate.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

effataigus wrote:Fixed that for you.Kreistor wrote:In short, it is fun to speculate about parallels in their functions at this point.
Yeah, go to the Wiki and check out the History of teh Arkenhammer and Carnymancy to see the full scale war the proponents of this particular foolishness put me through. Not fun in any way. I correctly identified many of the Hammer's functions' schools, but no, it had to all be Carnymancy. And it even went on after we had the definition, and I was not part of that so you cannot blame me even one iota (having left the forum and wiki for a while to end the war, just to prove I wasn't the instigator... which succeeded). I've stayed off the wiki because someone went in afterwards and did to the Wiki exactly what I had been trying to achieve -- cleaning out most wild speculation and giving fair time to the various supportable spec, to end favoritism based on "which faction can control the wiki". (The funny thing is that after we did get that list, the leader of that faction sent me a message claiming victory, when what he had claimed was completely defeated. Somehow, he had perverted his mind to think he had argued for multiple schools, where he had been arguing for Carnymancy alone. He's gone now.)
Anyway, this Speculation about Tools having Primary associations to schools is clearly and obviously false without a lot more supportable statements in the comic, as per the definitions provided for us by the experts in the comic. Speculation may be fun, but it leads to factionalization, and that leads to argumentiveness. It leads to open warfare, and you can see that on the Arkenhammer Wiki entry, where four different factions warred to control the page. Much of what you see there is my effort to make the argument fair to all sides (I had the fourth, no discipline position), since some were deleting any counter-arguments, or perverting reasonable counter-arguments into foolishness. Speculation about what we don't know is cool, but this one we do know, for the moment. All that can change, but it will take more than the Shoes having a primary school. (BTW, the Arkenhammer page was never updated with the information from that Text Update. If some kind person wants to correct it, remove the Primary Discipline arguments that are a holdover of Book 1, since it is almost entirely false now, that would be great. For the reasons above, I'm staying off, still. With an increased counter-Kreistor position on this forum, I am not risking you lot perverting the Wiki the way the last lot of you that got into that mode did.)
I have fought this battle before.
youngstormlord wrote:Actually, Carnimancy is magic of rigging the game. Taking and giving specials when it would suit them.
When an expert in magic, like Wanda, identifies a school for an ability, that is what school it is, even if you want it to be somewhere else, too. To my knowledge, we have yet to identify one effect coming from two different schools. Some effects, like Hoboken, are universal (or nearly so) and possibly school-less. But trying to make a case by shoe-horning everything you see into one small box doesn't validate a result, when there are plenty of other boxes you can do that and get a different one.
"Rigging the game" and "fooling people" is pretty much synonymous. I'm not arguing semantics on that any further.
My big point here is that no one school fits two effects of the Arkenhammer, per Wanda, so trying to identify a primary discipline is contra-indicated. What I can say is that it made Stanley a better Warlord, the way Wanda became a better Croakamancer. And to that, I'll also propose this for you to think about: did the Arkentools confer these powers, or did they become the powers the wielder wanted to have, sub-conciously? Would they have the same powers in the hands of another attuned user?Wadna's favoritism makes the Pliers good at Croakamancy? Charlie's paranoia makes him want to read the minds of his enemies? Stanley's low self-esteem causes the Hammer to make him the best Warlord, but with the chaotic effects of uncertainty? The Arkentools do not have to be anything right now, and we will learn more in time.
If not? This is foreshadowing. Someone is going to attune. Gotta wonder who it might be.

The curriculum at NYU Paris focuses on the language, arts, history, literature, and politics of France and its relationships with the wider world. A world-class faculty provides context and support for students' academic work. Students with a limited background in French enroll in Program I, where all courses except for language courses are taught in English. Students proficient in French participate in Program II, which features a variety of courses taught in French. All students take a French language course appropriate to their level. Coursework is enhanced by faculty-led trips in and around Paris, to world-renowned museums such as the Louvre and the Musée Picasso or to smaller galleries and exhibits, as well as to the opera, ballet, and theatre. Students receive a University of Paris student card and may take courses at the University of Paris or at the Institut d'Études Politiques (Sciences Po). All students are carefully advised upon their arrival in Paris; students who opt to take courses in the French university system receive additional individualized in-house tutorial assistance. Masters level graduate programs in French Literature, French Language & Civilization, Museum Studies, and Teaching French as a Foreign Language also contribute to the overall academic quality of the Paris academic center.
NYU Paris has moved to a new academic center in the Latin Quarter, the thriving historic and intellectual heart of Paris, in Summer 2014. Students will have the opportunity to benefit from the numerous cultural, artistic, and academic institutions of this wonderful neighborhood, as well as to get to know the city through faculty-led visits and walking tours. The program offers regular day trips to places outside of the city such as Chantilly, Giverny, and Versailles, and weekend excursions and study-trips to locations such as Avignon, the Loire Valley, Mont-Saint-Michel, and La Rochelle, that allow students to further embrace the richness, depth, and diversity of French history and civilization.
Depends on your major. Speaking with your academic adviser is the best way to determine what semester will be right for your study abroad experience.
Of course! Paris is one of the best cities from which to travel around Europe, whether by plane, train or automobile.

Like the start of a race, the gun fired last week, and now we are all off and running. Well, some of us are running, while others stumbled out of the blocks.
It's all right, gentle reader, if you didn't hit all of your picks last week. But it is a good thing that you have the Guru of Gridiron Guessing to guide you, because I was 4-0 in the area's first full week of prep football for the 2013 season.
I came close to predicting the exact score of the North Murray at Southeast Whitfield game — I guessed Southeast would win 34-17 and the Raiders almost made me a psychic as they prevailed 35-12 — correctly gave you the exact number of points Coahulla Creek was going to score, let you know just about how many points Pepperell was going to score (I was off by one) and let you know those cuddly little Lions at Christian Heritage weren't quite ready for prime time.
For the year, your Prep Pigskin Prognosticator is 4-1. (Thanks a lot, Dalton.)
So stand in awe of this week's display of awesomeness.
• Game of the Week — Gordon Central at Southeast Whitfield: Oh, you Catamounts fans thought it would be your game, didn't you?
Games of the week are supposed to be close. (Rimshot!)
Instead, let's see if Southeast can make a little history.
It has been so long ago since the Raiders started a season 2-0 that the players on this year's team weren't even born yet. We're talking decades, folks — 1989 to be exact.
On paper, Gordon Central shouldn't pose too much of an impediment to history in the making, having lost 33-7 to Coosa last week. But the real question is how much of a celebratory hangover the Raiders have this week.
Taking things for granted can get you in trouble in a hurry, but after so many difficult seasons the Raiders should have gone back to work like it was just another week. There were some troubling aspects to last week's win over North Murray.
The power game of the Raiders was less than impressive. Between the tackles, Southeast struggled to move the ball. The defense, however, looked stellar. Maybe the Raiders need to get their feet under them a little bit on the offensive side of the ball.
Gordon Central should provide that lift.
Whit's Pick: Southeast 33, Gordon Central 7
• Dalton at Calhoun: According to the computers at maxpreps.com, the Cats come into this game as a 33-point underdog. The silver lining, Big Red, is that Ridgeland lost to Calhoun by 37 last Friday, so the computers see you as better than Ridgeland.
We all know how this rivalry has turned over the past few years in favor of the Jackets, and unless the injured Kelvis Rhodes — who is a game-time decision after already missing the season opener — comes back and is all of a sudden Herschel Walker, the Calhoun streak keeps rolling on to five straight wins. Cats linebacker/safety Eder Mora is a beast after racking up 20 tackles against Ringgold, but Calhoun is much faster than Ringgold and he won't be able to be all over the field at once.
The computers are wrong about the score, but Calhoun still wins.
Whit's Pick: Calhoun 34, Dalton 20
• Christian Heritage at Murray County: The Lions showed some bite last week by putting up impressive offensive numbers, but they were declawed by turnovers. Do that again this week and give Murray County some early hope and this could be a good game.
Whit's Pick: Christian Heritage 35, Murray County 15
• Coahulla Creek at Gordon Lee: The Colts got off to a gallop last week, but Trojans ride horses.
Gordon Lee running back Zack Cobb has another big night.
Whit's Pick: Gordon Lee 36, Coahulla Creek 28
• Dade County at North Murray: I have nothing productive to offer on Dade County since I really know nothing of North Sand Mountain, the Alabama school that beat the Wolverines 19-13 last week.
A sand mountain would seem to be harder to climb than a real mountain, but I am giving North Murray the benefit of the doubt.
Whit's Pick: North Murray 14, Dade County 13

|Seahawks Begin NCAA Tennis Regionals
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – UNCW men's tennis coach Mait DuBois and his team have crossed off several items on their checklist the last few years: first national ranking, first NCAA postseason berth, first NCAA at-large berth, first ranked singles player, first ranked doubles team, first entries into the NCAA's singles and doubles championships.
Now, there's one more.
"Advancing in the NCAA Tournament has always been a goal for us," said DuBois, whose 53rd-ranked team travels to Durham early Friday to take on No. 17 South Carolina in the 2013 NCAA Men's Tennis Regionals. "We know it's within our grasp and something we've prepared to do. We're focusing on the preparation and know the results will come from it."
The Seahawks and Gamecocks battle at 10 a.m. at Duke's Ambler Tennis Center, with the host Blue Devils, ranked ninth, taking on Coastal Carolina at 1 p.m. Duke is the No. 1 seed in the first-round bracket, followed by USC, UNCW and CCU. The winners play Saturday at 1 p.m. for the right to advance to the NCAA's Final 16 in Urbana, Ill.
"For me, it's about what we can do today to take another step forward. You only get one shot during the year at the NCAA Tournament. Our focus has been better than it's ever been the last couple weeks."
The Seahawks, 18-4, recently captured their third outright Colonial Athletic Association championship to secure their fourth NCAA berth in five seasons.
Talented junior Rafael Aita is ranked 54th by the ITA and brings a 15-5 record into Friday's match. The CAA Player-of-the-Year has been ranked throughout the season and defeated No. 28 Mac Styslinger of Virginia, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (9), and No. 32 Jared Hiltzik of Illinois, 6-3, 6-4, in the Virginia Ranked+1 Invitational in late September, and knocked off South Carolina's Tsvetan Mihov, ranked 31st, by a 7-6 (7), 7-6 (2) score on Feb. 20 in Columbia.
The Seahawks have won the doubles point in 19 of 22 matches this spring behind the No. 1 tandem of Kosta Blank and Chris Cooprider, who have fashioned a 12-4 record. The pair has won eight of its last 10 matches and defeated Styslinger and Jarmere Jenkins of Virginia, 8-6, in the Virginia Ranked+1 Invitational.
UNCW and USC are meeting for the fourth time on the courts and the Gamecocks slipped past the Seahawks in all three matches by identical 4-3 scores. The Gamecocks squeezed out a 4-3 decision in Columbia on Feb. 20 in the last matchup. USC swept the doubles point and added three singles victories for the close decision.
"I think teams evolve over a season," DuBois continued. "South Carolina is a well-coached team. I'm sure they feel like they've made some strides. But we've made a lot, too. Both teams are going to have opportunities and it's just a matter of who steps up and takes those opportunities."
USC brings an 18-10 record into the early-morning match after tying for third in the Southeastern Conference under third-year coach Josh Goffi, the SEC's Coach-of-the-Year. The Gamecocks, an at-large entry, are 13-19 all-time in NCAA Tournament matches and are making their 21st appearance in the NCAA's.
The Gamecocks knocked off eighth-ranked Kentucky in the regular season finale and split a pair of matches against No. 20 LSU (W, 4-3) and No. 15 Florida (L, 4-0) in the SEC Tournament.
USC features one ranked singles player and two ranked doubles teams. Mihov stands 15-10 this spring and is ranked No. 31. Mihov and teammate Chip Cox own a 12-10 record and No. 17 ranking. The doubles team of Kyle Koch and Harry Menzies is ranked 39th.

ordered these for my husband who wears a size 13. As suggested by other reviews and by description of the shoes in ad I ordered a size 12--way too small, maybe the largersizes are not made too large. Am returning them for a size 13. Otherwise, a very nice product.
1/2/2012 - TMC - Guatemala, GU
In one word Excellent. Worth every penny and more. Keep in mind you need to order a size bigger, otherwise your feet will not fit properly.

Bought these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them. Says they are the most comfortable slippers he has ever worn!!!
1/19/2011 - GG - Ellenboro, NC
Very nice! I've barely taken these off since I received them. They're made well and comfortable. They keep your feet warm and toasty for those quick trips outside in the cold weather. One note, I normally wear size 11 1/2 but half sizes aren't offered so I got size 11. But there is plenty of room so the sizes might be a bit off - a size 11 is around 11 1/2 and maybe almost 12. I don't mind as I really don't like really tight fitting and constricting slippers. They are well worth the price and I"m thinking of purchasing a second pair.
1/3/2011 - WS - martinsville, VA
These are so nice That I have decided to get another pair! Great workmanship and very comfortable!

Below are lists of my favorite Cheese and Wine. I added this page because whenever I try new wine or cheese I write it down so I can remember it and get it again, however I seem to always loose what I wrote it down on! Many of these cheeses can be found online, Whole Foods or best yet your local cheese shop! As for the wine, search online if you can't find them at your local liquor store or ask them to try and order it for you. If you live in a state such as Rhode Island it is hard to find wineries that can ship here, so be sure to check out your states shipping laws. (Most wines listed will have links to their vineyard site)

ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), KPMG and Fauna & Flora International, have investigated the concept and existing use of materiality in light of the increasing significance of natural capital as a business risk.
The new report entitled: Is natural capital a material issue? An evaluation of the relevance of ecosystem services to accounting professionals and the private sector will be officially launched at a briefing event held in London today.
Natural capital – the stock of capital derived from natural resources such as biological diversity, ecosystems and the services they provide – is in decline globally. The loss of natural capital exposes companies to a range of new risks and opportunities that can impact profit, asset value and cashflow. Civil society is increasingly concerned about the loss of natural capital, but are companies identifying and measuring these issues? When do they become material?
The report explores the current response of the accountancy profession to the increasing importance of natural capital as a business issue. It involved a survey of more than 200 accountancy professionals, interviews with CFOs and senior management from eight major companies, a disclosure survey of corporate reporting by 40 organisations in specific sectors, and desk-based research into relevant literature and work in the field.
Key findings of the survey include:
- Perceptions of Natural Capital as a risk are variable within the accountancy profession
- Current disclosures on Natural Capital, as currently practised, are too limited to provide insights into risk management
- A handful of companies in high environmental impact sectors are reporting substantial detail on aspects of Natural Capital, but the majority are reporting little or no information due to the perceived immateriality of the issue
- There are a number of barriers to corporate action such as the lack of a standardised business case, low or unclear market values for some aspects of Natural Capital and some accounting principles
- 60 per cent of respondents agreed that the natural world was important to their business
- More than half of the respondents had included natural capital issues in their company's business risk evaluations at some point, and
- Nearly half (49 per cent) of respondents identified natural capital as a material issue for their business and linked it to operational, regulatory, reputational and financial risks
Author of the report, Dr Stephanie Hime of KPMG's Climate Change and Sustainability practice, said: 'Specific parts of Natural Capital are increasingly being recognised as critical and material business issues. This report aims to bring a new audience into the debate by focusing attention on what the accountancy profession can do to mitigate these risks.'
Head of Sustainability at ACCA, Rachel Jackson, said: 'ACCA strongly believes that considerations should be made by accountancy bodies to make their members aware of the need to account for natural capital within the company annual reports and accounts, as well as sustainability reports in order to avoid failures when anticipating future risk and their associated costs to business.'

The latest Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures show that the number of self-employed has grown to 4.2 million, with one in three new jobs since 2010 being a self-employed role. ACCA says that they face a complicated, self-assessment tax regime and that new changes to the child benefit system will mean many more people will self-assess.
ACCA also warned that taxpayers would need to make sure they were aware of new General Anti-Abuse Rules (GAAR) when it comes into force later this year to check they were not affected by the new rules.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of taxation at ACCA, said: 'The once famous mantra that tax doesn't have to be taxing holds no weight now for the growing number of self-employed in the UK. The tax system should be as simple and consistent as possible, especially when you are trying to get your business up and running, which is often the case for many self-employed people.
'It is easily forgotten that the self-assessment regime amounts to taxpayers doing the Government's tax collecting paper work for free, but if it is wrong or late they can be penalised.
'The rise in those who are self-employed is good news, but the reality is that those who have turned to freelance work in order to pull themselves out of unemployment and those who have decided to work for themselves face a challenging tax maze that could land them in hot water should they get it wrong.'
ACCA says that self-assessment was originally supposed to be easy, but that the complicated nature of the UK tax system means that the self-employed are beginning to experience the same tax challenges SMEs currently face. ACCA says that globally, SMEs spend, on average, 36 working days a year ensuring they meet with tax regulations.
More people are set to self-assess with the changes to child benefit, which HMRC estimates will mean some 500,000 parents having to complete the self-assessment tax form each year in order to pay the higher rate charge. The system has been designed so that more tax is paid to cancel out or reduce the gain from child benefit.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury commented: 'The higher number of self-employed and families who are looking to self-assess means that there are a lot of first-timers entering this confusing process. No tax system should be a hindrance to businesses or families, but the self-assessment process is far from straight forward.'
Help with tax returns is available, says ACCA, from HMRC and from speaking to an ACCA qualified accountant.

He could, but then, a pink could be used to ensnare someone without fear of killing his own people. Also, if the red dwagon died, that might result in more flames.

Hah, nice thought, though I'd guess the orientation quirk would be to ensure that Ace enters through the side that could let the dwagon in rather than from the city walls zone that the dwagons could not join from.Chit Rule Railroad wrote:I'm amused by the facetious thought that the crucial plot reason that the orientation of the room needed to be corrected was so that the bear could use its right arm to swat Parson down the stairs. The quill-like cursive script is a nice touch.
Not sure I agree that Antium+Infantry>Ace+Battle Bear+lazer Clonely. You're probably right, but this seems a bit like a small scale version of the battle that took out Ansom's former column, and we all know how that ended. I'd bet Antium will do some damage before getting zorched, and Ace will just heal it up. Then Parson+Dwagons gets their crack.Chit Rule Railroad wrote:I hope Antium is having the stabbers screen him, because him being dusted is the most likely way that the tide could be briefly turned back until the dwagon comes in and stacks with Parson. I like Antium, so I hope that he doesn't get dusted just to make Parson look useful.

They started in the 70's but there was a Japanese animated show for them beginning in 1980. I'm not sure if it showed outside Japan, however.

Junior Worlds Assignments (for anyone who cares):

Ladies: MIYAHARA Satoko, HONGO Rika
Junior Worlds Assignments (for anyone who cares):
Men: HINO Ryuju, TANAKA Keiji
Ladies: MIYAHARA Satoko, HONGO Rika
Congrats to Mura for his worlds debut but I cannot hide my broken hearted feeling for Kozuka
Not just Kozuka but Oda. Both skaters are clearly top 10 in the world and they don't even get to go to that or 4CC's? I guess in another year it may have been different but with 4CC's in Japan the JSF will want their top 3 from both events headlining. So the chances of Takahashi or Hanyu pulling out of 4CC's and Kozuka or Oda getting the nod seem pretty slim.
No Worlds for Taka? I'm heartbroken!
The results here seem to indicate that the fall and grand prix skating season are either bang bang bang, one event fast on another's footsteps, forcing the skaters to peak week after week, or like US Nationals used to be when they had multiple ladies who were world medallists, there was intense pressure to make the world team.
Veterans such as Kozuka, Oda and Suzuki just looked tired.
Watching the LP videos, I can't deny Mura's performance. But gutted. No 4CC for Taka/Oda is really harsh when the field was this competitive.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
It is definitely because of the injury that he left out a 3Lo from his free program and put a 2A instead. This seems pretty serious so I think it was a right decision that he didn't make the World team this time.
As for Oda not making the 4CC team or the World team, perhaps the JSU was sending him a message.
With 4CC being in Japan Yuzuru and Daisuke were locks but Im surprised they went with Mura again. I would have given that to 4th place Oda. Heartbroken for Kozuka but with a 5th place finish there's not much you can claim
As for Ladies, Akiko didnt make the podium so I was hoping 4CC would be given to Nishino .
An in dance , no matter they actually had a field this year (4 teams) they are only sending the Reed even when the 2nd and 3rd team have met the TES minimun internationally.
Damn this results and assignments are SOOOO frustrating.
Feel sad for Kozuka :-(((
improving my ballad- like lines
I'm so glad to see Yukari Nakano having interviews with Mao and Akiko!
With Hanyu, Takahashi, Kozuka, Machida, Mura and Oda all skating well at the GPs, I wish the Federation would at least spread the assignments around. Oda missing out on a 4CC spot after coming in 3rd in the free and narrowly missing the podium seems quite unfortunate. Hoping Kozuka a speedy recovery.

Has anyone used JRiver? I am getting a w4s dac2. When i was on the phone with w4s ( btw excellent support and customer service) I asked them what do they recommend and they said Jriver expecially for the $.
Is anyone using it? If so, any tips or issues with it?

Up front, this is not a movie review. For anyone who hasn't seen it - buy it. If you can't afford it, eat frozen peas until you can.
It is a monumental and epic achievement and totally deserving tribute to the heroes of the WWII campaign in Europe. IMHO, this movie/series has no peer except for Saving Private Ryan.
With that said, I have been dismayed at the inconsistent picture quality. I was expecting great things from this new anamorphic release. Instead, the picture quality is generally only good, occasionally it is very good, and sometimes it is downright disappointing and distracting.
There are a few scenes that are so grainy you'd swear someone totally missed cleaning them up. To add insult to injury, the worst looking scene was sandwiched in-between two really great looking scenes so it was even more noticeable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Was this the fault of HBO?
Sound quality in DTS is very good, and the use of surrounds is effective during battle sequences.
The LFE track certainly contains all the right stuff, frequency-wise, but was mastered a little on the conservative side for an such intense war movie. Clicking up the sub two notches at the receiver worked fine to add the needed room shaking impact during scenes like the L-88 shelling at Bastogne.

Hey guys, I installed a pair of mm651's in my rear doors a couple weeks ago and everything was working great. All of a sudden I'm getting some nasty alternator whine.
I re-grounded the amp in a different spot... still whining.
I pulled out the RCA's and ran them outside of the car to get them as far away from the power as possible.... still whining.
I unplugged the RCA's from the head unit.... still whining.
I tried grounding the preouts on the head unit in case it would work like it does for Pioneer head units (mine's a Kenwood).... still whining.
I plugged my ipod directly into the input on the amp for the rear speakers... still whining... from all four speakers... what the heck...
There is no whine when there is nothing plugged into the inputs on the amp, but there is a slight hiss. Nothing noticeable without putting your ear right up to the speakers.
What else can I try? And why did this come on suddenly? The amp has been in the car for a few months and there was no problem until a few days after the last time I added something to the system. (The mm651s)

Canal Plus has posted a behind the scotsmanpress.com scenes look at Dan's upcoming film Horns, in which he plays Ig Perrish, a grieving and cheapest generic viagra cialis pills wrongly-accused young man who wakes up one morning to discover he has grown a set of lifeinabundance.org horns.
The video covers Ig's futile attempts to remove his horns through various means, and we get to hear Dan's rather good American accent as he talks to a snake. Much of the video is in French, but Dan's voice is left un-dubbed and subtitled.
Horns is tentatively scheduled for an Autumn release.
Thank you to Titch for letting us know about the video!
Out has released an interview with Dan from the March issue of the magazine, along with a gorgeous new photoshoot.
Speaking to Out's Aaron Hicklin, Dan discussed how he's always known it would be a long process to female herbal viagra create a career that isn't defined by his role as Harry Potter – potentially a life-long one. "It's about proving to people that I'm in this for the long haul, and that I wasn't just looking to get as famous as I could for as long as I could and ride that out. I love almost every aspect of this industry and I want to be in it, and if I could drop dead on a film set at 80, that's how I'd want to go."
For more from the interview, visit Out.com
Out has released a preview of Dan's interview and photoshoot for the March edition of the magazine.
When John Krokidas, the director of Beat-genesis movie Kill Your Darlings, approached Daniel Radcliffe to gauge his interest in playing Allen Ginsberg, he was struck by Radcliffe's humility. Although a marquee name whose involvement could guarantee the investment necessary to make the film, Radcliffe nevertheless insisted on link for you a proper audition.
"I think he was nervous about whether I would want to audition or not, and so at my first meeting with him I said, 'I want to read, I want to audition,' because at this point in my career, I am aware that my name brings a certain kind of brand viagra overnight delivery cachet," recalls the actor, who is the no perscription viagra face of Out's upcoming March cover. "I want to know that a director wants me for me, rather than for the cachet. I can see why people are skeptical about me playing Allen Ginsberg, because I don't look like him—although, neither does James Franco—and I'm English and middle class, and not from New Jersey, but that's what I think is so exciting about it, because people have no idea. I've always known I have potential to be a good actor, and I think more than a good actor, but I've also at times lacked the tools and didn't have any training. When John was first auditioning me for Ginsberg, we hadn't even done the seventh Harry Potter yet, so I was 17 or 18, and he had nothing else to cialis uk buy go on apart from the fact that he'd seen me in Equus."
Director Krokidas recalls the audition as a revelation. "He [Radcliffe] wanted to make sure that the primary creative collaboration in the movie was going to be between me and http://print-tech.com/cialis-at-real-low-prices him, that our chemistry was going to be successful," he said. "In some Midtown corporate boardroom, the two of us read some lines from the script together, and wow—a lot of actors talk about colors of the rainbow and different facets of emotion in their performance, and Daniel showed me colors I'd never seen before—it was astounding."
Look for Out magazine on news stands in the next few days, or as a digital edition.
Many thanks to Michelle for sending in a link to these delightful Masterpiece Classic video clips of Daniel Radcliffe (sporting his 'Equus' look) and Ian McKellen discussing David Copperfield, heralding the encore…
Many thanks to Tracey for starting our week off just right with a tip about some terrific video footage of Harry Potter and the highonshoes.com Half-Blood Prince posted on…
Our very own Sabine must be moonlighting as a detective because she managed to dig up this little Dan filled gem ahead of the MTV broadcast: HBP spoilers. Enjoy, and Danke schön Sabine!
The new (and somewhat illusive) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Japanese trailer is now online, and you can watch it by clicking here. Enjoy!
