Built in 1694, the Yonghe Gong (Lama Temple) was the residence of Prince Yin Zhen, a son of Emperor Kang Xi of the Qing Dynasty. For many years, it was the leading center for Yellow Hat Shamanism, a distinctive branch of Tibetan Buddhism. It features five large halls and five courtyards with beautifully decorative archways, upturned eaves and carved details. Also known as the Palace of Peace and Harmony, this site houses a treasury of Buddhist art, including sculptured images of Gods, demons and Buddhas, as well as Tibetan-style murals.

¶USATF Dec: Ashton Eaton 8291¶USATF Dec: Ashton Eaton 8291In Jeremy Taiwo's 6156 heptathlon last weekend, he had a 13-7 vault. His PR is 15-11. A 4.80 would have given him 6296, if I have calculated correctly. It appears he will not have a throwing weakness. He did 46-6 last weekend, outdoor discus and Jav PRs are 137 and 176. He has had Tommy John surgery, but then so did Trey Hardee. If he takes it slowly (!) for the next few weeks, he should end up a national team contender (there is that one spot open). In any event, the NCAA heptathlon should again be very interesting.

Re: USA Multis--Jeremy Taiwo
His high Jump (2.25) is a WR for Heptathlon and only 2 cm from the WR in decathlon. As for his decathlon potential, I can see him go: 10.8 (similar to 7.02), 7.50, 14.20, 2.25, 48.50, 14.25, 44.00, 4.80, 60.00, 4.18 for a score of ~8,600 in this or the next summer. I think that if he will remain healthy and don't burn himself in the collegian season he has a fair chance to make it to Moscow as there are 2 spots to fight for (Hardee get a free ticket)
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy TaiwoOn the Kevin Lazas front, looking at the U Arkansas website I see that he vaulted 17-9 (!) at the Tyson Invitational.
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy Taiwo
I think that the 5.41 (17-9 in your lenguage) is a mistake. Looking at the IAAF site the hight is 5.11 Also if you calculate his individual scores (see http://www.all-athletics.com/node/421003) then 5.11 is consistent with his total score and not 5.41. Regardless, a good performance from him with HJ and SP that are better than his outdoor marks. Finally - can you take Jeremy Taiwo out of the title so we can discuss US Multis in one thread?
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy TaiwoJay Cato went out at 5.30 today at the Wisconsin meet; he was clean until then but had already gone 7.5x in the LJ and 7.0x in the 60.
Even without Beach (I think he is out) there are a number of strong contenders for the Hept at NCAAs (and the women's Pent as well).
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy Taiwo
What happened to Beach?
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy Taiwo
Lazas seriously jumped 5.41 at Tyson: http://www.flashresults.com/2013_Meets/ ... 08F068.htm Never rely on the IAAF to have the very most current marks...
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy Taiwo
Glad to be wrong! I mixed between his perfromance during the heptathlon (5.11) in the 25/01 and his perfromance in the individual event in the 09/02 (both in Feyetteville). Both him and Taiwo should be able to get the "A" standard this summer. He is still very young (21) so huge potential for the future.
Re: USA Multis
Beach is red-shirting from Duke. Perhaps he will go to the USTAF heptathlon.
Re: USA Multis
Beach only 12.33 in SP over the weekend. If he will not improve his throws very soon I am afarid he does not have a future in T&F. Hope he will come around because after Eugene he became one of my favorite athletes.
Re: USA Multis
I had been under the impression that Beach was stagnating, and that Duke may not have been a good choice for him. But I just looked over his stats, and they don't bear out that conclusion. Eight of his event PRs are from 2012; the other two are from 2011. He certainly is improving. One issue has been that his HJ performance in recent decathlons has been well off heights he is jumping in open competition. PR 2.07, last four decathlons 1.96, 1.90, 1.88, 1.87. The difference between 1.96 and 2.07 is 100 points. Nevertheless, olorin, you're clearly right that he needs to improve his throws (without having a major negative impact on his other events - the decathlon difficulty!) over the next couple of years if he is going to be a threat internationally. His PRs presently sum to about 8300; I can see another 30 points or so in each of the hurdles, PV, and LJ, but the big point improvements will have to come in the throws. Even 13.8 SP, 53 JT and 42 DT would add 180 points to his total.
Re: USA Multis
Beach will need to make those marks in the throws or even a little better to make a USA world or Olympic team. In the next couple of years there are going to be athletes other than Hardee or Eaton at the 8400-8600 level.
Re: USA MultisWith only one throw, the indoor Hept is his better event. I think he also had a good high jump at the NCAA Hept last year, but I am guessing - he came from behind to win the event with a massive PR (and breaking of the Hept record) of 2:23 in the 1000m.
Re: USA Multisshana woods is back at usatf nationals pent
no news on beach yet
Re: USA MultisIn a T & FN article on Haley Crouser she was quoted as saying he will do some heptathlons this year. She is a reasonably good hurdler, long jumper and high jumper in addition to the throws. It will be fun to see a HS girl in the event who does not throw 30 feet in the shot and 90 in the JT.
Re: USA Multis
Yes, I was intrigued to see that also. The 800 will be painful, but she's a competitor. I look forward to seeing what she can do.
Re: USA Multis
Sounds like Donovan Kilmartin, part two.
Re: USA MultisJay Cato from Wisconsin is, at least currently, in this same mold -- better at the Hept because his throws are weak. However, he may of the physical build to master those constraints better, especially when he is past his student days and can spend the amount of time that it takes. His throws coach just got their SP/DT guy to 63-5 and 195/59.64, as well as improving substantially the marks of four or five other SP/DT, male and female. [He currently gets point through marks like 2.12m/5.25m/7.64m/10.8x/47.9x/14.0x, while his weights are 43[13.12m]/37.3m/45m.
Unlike Beach and Kilmartin, he came out of high school with potential but much of his development has been at the college level.
Re: USA Multis
Just to complete the picture here: birthday: Christmas Day 1990 1500PR 4:42.x decathlon PR 7616 Like Beach, a couple of indoor PRs are markedly superior to his outdoor PRs. Any idea why?: HJ 2.12 I 2.03 O SP 13.12 I 12.30 O
Re: USA MultisOutdoors he has not done so many HJs, which he can work on indoors, and thus is freed up to work on the throws. He has lost part of his outdoor to injury at points where he would have possibly hit new PRs.
Last year he hurt his ankle at Big Tens in the LJ and thus was not at full capacity for the decathlon. He did not do the decathlon at the Big Ten meet; I think that was because he looked good for points in the LJ, PV, 110h, and relays, and that way he would not have two decas in a row. Besides, the team had some other scoring decathletes and his scoring would have taken some away from them. As it was, the decathlon was pretty deep for a conference meet. Lone guy who finished fourth before, set a new PR almost 200 points above that level --- and finished something like 12th. I guess the team strategy worked, because Wisconsin won the Big Ten meet by storming to a 3:05 4x400 and pass Nebraska and distance Indiana. It was probably the best meet that I have been at, especially being 'in the environment (officiating the three PVs and then miscellaneous things on the track.)
Re: USA MultisAnyone know what is up with Gunnar Nixon of Arkansas? (5th place at '12 outdoor NC's...7892)
He has not competed this indoor season and his name has "disappeared" from the Razorback roster.
Re: USA Multis
On Feb 13th he tweeted that he would be competing at USA Indoors. But he hasn't said anything about leaving Arkansas.
Re: USA Multis
The two 'Beach a like' women competitor - Chelsea Carrier Eades (23) and Lindsay Lettow (22) had a reasonable start to their indoor campaign. Eades broke her PB in 60 and 800 indoor, while Lettow broke her PB in the pentathlon by almost 100 points. Both are ~12, ~38 throwers, both will not make it in the heptathlon unless they improve dramatically (Eades will probably concentrate on the 100h). Krais, another Beach type athlete, is yet to open her season. She was injured last year - anyone has an idea whether she is going to compete this winter?
Re: USA Multis
13-7 is 4.14, that gives 656 points, while 4.80 is worth 849. A difference of 193 points, not 140.
Re: USA MultisDerek Drouin upped the hept hj record today with 2.30-7'6.5" at Big 10 Indoor. He is leader after day 1.
Re: USA MultisI figured that he had an excellent chance. The two guys from Wisconsin (Cato and Zeimek) had pretty decent HJ (2.03, 2.06) and lost ~250 points. I am not sure how we Drouin does in the PV, I think he is a decent hurdler (vague memory) and should be Heptathlon-decent in the 1000. Both UW guys have gone 5.15 this year and Cato took some attempts at 5.30 last week. Cato is substantially better than Zeimek in the 60H and then they get to gut it out. Cato had a pretty good LJ day, going 7.70 in the Hept and 7.85/25-9.25 in the open (on two jumps).
Re: USA Multis--Jeremy Taiwo
Cato improved his PB in the LJ to 7.70 at big 10 indoor. Garrett Scantling (19) from Georgia is showing that he has a potential to be a world class decathlete. In the SEC indoor he set three PBs in the first day including: 60 - 6.95 (previous PB 7.10) LJ - 7.14 (previous PB 7.01) SP - 14.26 (previous PB 13.39). He is faster than Cato and Beach over the 60 and much (much) better thrower. He is also three years younger. Hope they have good coaches in Georgia that will ensure that he fulfil his potential.
Re: USA MultisIt is very encouraging to have this kind of material to discuss without any real mention of Eaton, Hardee's, or Clay. Did Clay retire after the Olympic trials?
Re: USA Multis
I was assuming that Clay had retired but I don't remember him announcing it officially. The field so far for the USATF heptathlon, from Frank Zarnowski's DECA site: Trey Hardee, Miller Moss, Jake Arnold, Curtis Beach, Gunnar Nixon, Ryan Harlan, Dan Gooris, Corbin Duer, Terry Prentice Ashton Eaton had announced some time ago that he would not compete indoors.
Re: USA Multis
Too bad Eaton isn't competing indoors. It is fun to watch him play to his strength.

A word from STK - NYC - Midtown
STK artfully blends two concepts into one—the modern steakhouse and a chic lounge. A large central lounge area is furnished with creamy leather banquettes and textured crocodile tiles, and is surrounded by an elevated dining room for more formal dining. Theatrical lights illuminate each table,
while a DJ creates an energetic vibe throughout the entire space. STK Midtown is located in Midtown Manhattan, just steps from the bustling Theatre District. STK Midtown includes an outdoor patio and separate bar during summer months. As anticipated, steak is the main attraction. With a female-friendly mindset, STK offers small, medium and large cuts of meat, as well as naturally raised options and market fresh fish entrees. Aside from steak, signature items include Parmesan Truffle Fries; Lil' BRGs; Shrimp Rice Krispies; Sweet Corn Pudding; and Jump Lump Crab Salad.

Stopped in on Saturday and
intended to meet a large group. Turns out they cancelled and it ended up just being two of us. What could have been a very awkward occasion turned into a fabulous night out! Will was pleasant and seated us at a table for two where we were promptly greeted by Josiah. He brought us water and cocktails and then Marco walked us through the menu and wowed us for the rest of the evening. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great night out. (Although, I don't think I would bring the kiddos. This place can get "energetic".)"

My friends and I were visiting New
York for a short holiday. As one of our party are due to get married soon, we decided to arrange a small celebration at STK in New York. My daughters suggested the restaurant having been to the same in both London and Vegas. The night we visited was not the best, a cold Sunday wtih snow showers, so the restaurant was practically empty. Once at our table the waiter proceeded to tell us in great detail how every piece of meat and vegetable were cooked. This was a little tiresome after the first five minutes and not really required. The food was delicious but we were left feeling deserted by the staff and had the feeling they were waiting for us to leave. Such a shame for what should have been a special night"

We had a reservation for 8 p.m.
and got seated at 8:55, after a number of trips to the host's table to see when the table would be ready. We had guests from overseas and really wanted to show them a great dining experience. When we finally sat down, there was champagne waiting for us (although I had suggested to the manager that the restaurant owes us a round of drinks after such a long wait). The service was very good and the food - excellent, so overall we were very happy. I would give 5 stars but an hour wait is very long, considering my reservation was made at least 10 days in advance."

We went there for the restaurant

Although we rushed them to serve us, the waiter and other staff cooperated and gave us very friendly attitude and professional service. We were also satisfied with foods. The butternut squash soup we ordered for the appetiser and the serving bread (I guess it's homemade) were especially excellent! We will definitely go back to STK again for not restaurant week dinner soon!"

Me and my husband went there to
have dinner for my birthday, once we arrived the place was freezing... It turns out the heat was not working so I had to have dinner with my coat and scarf on. My husband ordered a steak and it was completely burned impossible to eat, additional he ordered it with a fois gras butter on top which was not included when he got the plate. He mentioned it to the waiter and he brought it almost when we were done eating... And of course we were charged for it. I will never recommend this place."

The decor is very chic with lots

I had the 10 oz (medium) filet mignon cooked to perfection. My wife had the duck breast which was excellent. We shared the truffle infused mac & cheese - one of the best I've ever tasted.

Ive been going to this place, and
its been my one of my favorite steakhouses in NYC. Sadly I don't eat steak because I don't eat beef, but I do order the rack of lamb, and I've never been disappointed yet. I suggest you try it. The sides are always amazing. be careful of the lobster mac and cheese, people always assume its will be a few dollars more than the normal mac and cheese, youd be extremely wrong if you did. I think I paid $45 last time for the lobster mac, and the price changes depending on the market rate for lobster. That being said, its out of this world, but maybe not worth the price though. Service is always amazing. DJ has a great ear for 80s and 90s music. Love this place."

The food: Porterhouse medium-rare.
It was good, but, to be honest it wasn't too much better than the steaks I cook on a pan and then place in the oven for 5 minutes. Macaroni and cheese with sliced truffles was delicious, but I wish the waitress would have let me know the addition of truffles was going to be an additional $30 in addition to the base $12 M&C. She brought it up and say it was "her favorite," so I do feel a little tricked. But $42 for mac-n-cheese? I don't really care how good it is, I still feel ripped off. Mashed potatoes were good. Service was good. Overall, if you are coming here for a special occasion, it can be a memorable night. But, caveat emptor for the prices that can add up if you're paying your own way."

Pros: Steak was fantastic, main
dining hall was beautiful, vibrant and modern. Cons: Despite my specific reservation requests we were sat in the small side room, off the main dining area, in the corner and as far away from a window view as possible. This concern was only compounded by the fact we were sat underneath a speaker that was blasting Top 40 and Hip Hop - quick note, I'm 31 and a fan of both, just not on Valentine's Day and at a volume that made conversation impossible. Although my steak was delicious the lobster was forgettable/laughable/Red Lobsterable. The service was quick, almost rushed, and was clearly meant to facilitate table turnover and not good customer service. To our server - the upsell requires subtly. Love CB and SD"

I'm a steak guy. Certainly don't
mind opening my wallet if the food warrants it. The steak greatly underwhelmed. Medium rare was closer to rare with little flavor, though the char was nice. Sides were great, corn pudding especially. Drinks are worth the $15 cocktail price. Steak just left a damper on the evening. Ambiance was ruined with loud violin echoing throughout the restaurant."

Booked for a romantic valentines
day dinner but was placed in the back of the restaurant. Horrible seating, way too loud, food was mediocre. I would not return to stk midtown."

It was a bit loud in there, but
overall food was good and the service was great as well as the ambiance. Definitely hip! They did undercook my Austrailian Wagyu steak which was very expensive, but it was still enjoyable. Would certainly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a steakhouse meal in a more modern and chic environment."

Great evening overall but it is a
difficult restaurant to have a romantic, Valentine's dinner due to the noise level (music)."

We went for dinner after and
afternoon of visiting the Super Bowl festivities so our reservation was fairly early therefore we were seated promptly and the wait staff was very attentive. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced. Our waitress was very friendly and assisted us with meal selections. There was a DJ playing music the entire time although it did not interfere with conversations, so it made for a nice atmosphere. Although nothing was bad, I also wouldn't say it was particularly memorable either except for the desert I had. It was some sort of ice cream dish and it had what I am pretty sure was the kids cereal Fruity Pebbles on it, something I thought was very odd. Overall it was a good experience."

I took my date here for her
birthday and we shared the large porterhouse steak that was big enough for two people along with an appetizer, side dishes and wine. Overall, the experience was positive and my date and I both agreed the steak was excellent (possibly one of the best we've had in NY), the sides were notable but nothing outstanding, and the wine was a good selection. However, the service from the wait staff at the Midtown location can be a bit overwhelming. As my date noted, the wait staff tend to "interrupt" the meal every five minutes which can get tiresome after a few iterations. Lastly, an egregious mistake was the handling of the birthday dessert, which went to the wrong person and was far too late to deserve any sympathy."

i know i have a lot of analyses up right now but tmon requested this, i'll fininsh my others before i start this np [SET] name: Substitute + Bulk Up move 1: Substitute move 2: Bulk Up move 3: Dragon Tail / Outrage move 4: Earthquake / Rest item: Leftovers / Chesto Berry nature: Careful evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD [SET COMMENTS] -looks weird but sub lets it avoid leech seed, paralysis, and burn -serves a secondary shuffling role with dragon tail -can take on more offensive role with outrage (can use more attack EVs) -chesto berry aims to have a quick sweep and can replenish lost hp from substitute and weaker attacks -rest does not need to be used with chesto berry -earthquake gives strong neutral coverage and ohkos heatran so you don't have to eat its flamethrowers. it also prevents you from having to take iron barb damage every time. if dialga is last 'mon it will have trouble sweeping with even +6 dragon tail, also PP issues. -can set up 101 hp subs -sets up a multitude of support 'mons, Dtail lugia, chans / bliss , ferrothorn, forretress, arceus-grass, crogre, arceus rock, arceus dark, arceus psychic, etc -best used with spikes!! -works well in all weathers, most notably sand as it avoids residual -screwed by fighting and ground arceus -opposing dialga are a problem without earthquake -lugia with whirlwind owns this set unless a lot of speed is used -its slow -can't take too many strong hits [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] -maximize hp for 101 hp subs, rest is poured in SDef to maximize special bulk -a more offensive spread can be used with outrage, actually aiming to sweep -leftovers is the main item, and can still be used with rest, however, you're completely vulnerable to phazing for 2 turns -support w/ ferrothorn, forretress, skarm to set up spikes; deo-s is a decent partner too, as this set works well on quickstall teams -fairly self-reliant outside of hazard support -rain support to dampen fire attacks -164 speed to beat 0 speed lugia and phaze it out first with dragon tail. sub + pressure will quickly drain dragon tail pp though.
I think trickroom actually rejected Dragon Tail on BU Rest talk Dialga due to it being too weak 0_0, I think the same problem might come up here but Sub is a really wierd way to say FU to Ferro so idk. Also make sure to note that if you do decide to setup on Ferro / Forry that you better be prepared to have 3 layers of spikes around you. Also if you get phazed when using Dragon Tail due to Tail being simply too weak you know somethings not right -_-, I actually think Outrage should be the main slash but again I don't know... Dragon Claw works too for pp issues and when you don't want to risk hurting yourself in confusion for that one turn that Lugia ends up phazing you out, maybe a mention in AC? You could also ignore me but w.e. MENTION THIS IS VULNERABLE TO SPINNING. FORRY WILL LOL (no seriously, maybe spin blocker support? This Dialga DOES take advantage of its existence though so idk) although you do get the last laugh if you 6-0 with a +6 outrage :P.
I don't agree with Rest being considered as an option on this set. If you're going to use Rest, Bulk Up, and another non-attacking move on the same set, why not just use Resttalk? Don't get me wrong, Sub Dialga is great and Resttalk Dialga is great, but why try to combine the two? I'd change the slash to something else. Brick Break maybe? Another dragon attack? What Shrang and lol have said is also true - You need to mention spinblock support and you need to address the speed problem (not speed creep, mind you, but the speed problem).
Have you considered Protect on the last slot? It could be like Sub/BU/DTail/Protect, much like the Kyurem set that terrorized UU at its conception (Sub/HC/DTail/Protect). Dialga has better typing and defense boost, so maybe it could work? Idk I'm not very sold on this set because it doesn't seem to do enough damage for its lifespan. Maybe if you could keep it alive with Wish...idk. Some logs would be nice.
ugh i dunno if i have any logs but dragon tail + eq is the best combination dtail + protect is too weak and you run out of pp yes this set suffers against spinners no this set doesn't need that much speed, 164 takes way too much from bulk and lugia isn't common enough to warrant it as the main spread yes this set does need more than 0 evs obviously, but i can't mention speed creep - you should definitely outspeed phazers like gira-a i'll go try to rustle up some logs
I tested this out a fair bit and I got mixed results. The thing is that Dialga can set up on half the stuff in Ubers especially on Support mons and Genesect too :D Most balanced / stall teams not having a strong physical attacker with a super effective move will be promptly set up on and crushed. However a major flaw of this et was the lack of recovery. Setting up a sub for a turn only to have it broken the next is INCREDIBLY wasteful for this Dialga. Yes, like poppy said on irc this is a niche set but it does have its uses. Leaning towards an approval.
I think Fire Blast can be an option for this set. It's more useful than Earthquake vs all the Spikes user except Tentacruel who does not enjoy boosted Dragon Tails. Earthquake nails Excadrill regardless of weather though. Jibaku: Idk I'm not very sold on this set because it doesn't seem to do enough damage for its lifespan. I think I agree with that. Dialga using Substitute means you lose some coverage and you are not supporting the team much. Instead of setting up Sub on Ferrothorn, you could directly roast it with Fire Blast. Also Careful max Special Defense Bulk Up Dialga on a no recovery variant? :( Don't run more Speed, bulk or more power is way more important than outspeed min Speed Lugia. I like Outrage more, because it is a lot stronger and you can actually sweep with it. Dragon Tail faces major PP issues, because its weak and many Pressure users ( Mewtwo, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, some Lugia ) around. Giratina-O is better for those Sub Dragon tailing as Giratina-O is immune to Spikes, bulkier and more importantly blocks spin.
Mainly because it can't viably keep many spinners from spinning, especially forry, I don't really think this set is too viable. Admittedly there are other pokemon who sub-phaze, like lugia and gira-o, but in the case of the former, it hard walls all variants of many commonly used sweepers and threats, and in the case of the latter actually sets up while preserving the hazards it needs to do damage by virtue of its ghost typing. Dialga has neat resistances, for sure, but it really cant switch into every variant of stuff like kyogre, and can even lose its sub to mono attacking sets. Of the list you listed, you can't really set up on the wall arceus forms, as they have a tendency to run WoW You obviously beat psych arceus, and you can phaze arceus dark, but you have to be at +2 to be able to break its sub, so your going to take some decent damage in the process (excuse my obvious bias). In short, the turns you use to set up, and more importantly the health you lose, makes you a poorer check, which this set attempts to balance out by being able to shuffle a team. But in my opinion, that's canceled out by the ability of spinners to spin on you, and the fact that the loss of these turns and health makes you an even shakier check to certain threats than dialga already is, as it often barely gets away with beating common sets of arceus, kyogre, and many many other mons by the skin of its teeth and favorable hazard conditions.
Yeah, I personally don't think shuffling is all that great when spinners can easily just spin away your hazards and force you to do very little. If Dialga is to have a Sub + Bulk Up, I reckon Outrage / Dragon Claw would be a much better option as the STAB move.
Yeah I'm gonna reject this. While it was fun to playtest with that, being a hazard fodder is really a pain in the ass, and honestly, you can't really setup that easily. You try to setup on Groudon? Roar. Kyogre also breaks your Substitute with Ice Beam, and sure, you can setup Bulk Up on it, but you take too much damage. You take too long to setup, as syrim said, and as shrang said, spinners can just come and take away your hazards. No recovery makes this set extremely risky, and Rest takes some of your momentum. QC Rejected 1/3
QC Rejected 2/3 Also Dialga is really missing a lot things with this set, it no longer checks Kyogre well and you lose a ton of power compare to the Support set. Dragon Tail is piss weak and Earthquake tickles Forretress. Sorry. Groudon still breaks past you with repeated Earthquakes even if you boost as it switches in. Dialga lacks recovery and that sucks with a set like this.

Rizk Auto Recreates 1957 Aston Martin DBR2 with Modern Technology
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Classic cars have their undeniable appeal, but they can't rival a modern automobile for technological superiority. But once in a while, a unique creation comes along that takes the best of both worlds and melds them together into one beautiful, advanced machine. The Huet HB Special is one of those machines. This is another.
The boys over at Rizk Auto in Phoenix, Arizona, took the classic 1957 Aston Martin DBR2 as their inspiration and rebuilt its shape around a modern chassis designed using Formula One technology by a former Formula One engineer. It's lightweight and rigid, and available for custom order. Buyers can choose all manner of options, including the powertrain options that encompasses six or twelve-cylinder engines from Jaguar or a Corvette LS3 V8. Prices are not yet available, but of course if you have to ask....

Human Resources Changes in Your Life
What happens when you divorce? Health Plan (Medical / Dental) As a result of your divorce (legal separation, annulment) you may decide to enroll in a University medical and dental plan. If already enrolled, you may change from a family/double coverage to individual/single coverage. Your ex-spouse is not eligible for health coverage unless as required by the court and with appropriate documentation. Life Insurance Plan You will need to re-evaluate your Life Insurance coverage and may change your election at this time. Be sure you have an appropriate level of coverage to accommodate the change in your family structure. Even if you have elected not to buy Supplemental Life Insurance, the University provides you with a Group Term Life Insurance at no cost to you. If you elect to buy or increase additional coverage at this time, you will be required to provided evidence of good health. Review your beneficiary election under the Plan. Flexible Spending Accounts Consider whether to participate in the Flexible Spending Accounts, or if participating, decide whether you need to change or stop you contributions. Retirement Plan Update the beneficiaries under the Plan. If you are planning to divide your pension assets as a part of the divorce agreement, you should contact your attorney and obtain Qualified Domestic Relation Order, prior to going to court. Be sure to make changes with the Human Resources within 30 days of your divorce. |

Plush Stuffed Bison Cuddlekin
Item #68135
Sale Price: $10.99
Original Price: $15.00
Availability: Out of stock. This item is no longer available for purchase.
- Description
- Reviews
This adorable plush stuffed Bison Cuddlekin looks lost without his herd. Despite his remarkable resemblance to his Northern Great Plains cousins, the horns of this plush stuffed bison are soft and his weight is negligible. (Full grown male bison can weigh as much as 2,000 pounds!) Adopt him, hug him and you will put a big pretend smile on his winsome face. Equally fun for child or adult. Non-toxic materials—polyester plush exterior, polyethylene pellet interior and lock washer eyes—meet or exceed U.S. safety standards. Surface-washable. Imported. Ages 3 and up. 12"l. x 5"w. x 8.5"h.
Museum Provenance
Though often called buffalo, bison are among some 274 mammals whose diversity is explored by The Kenneth E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. You will find a bison in the prairie habitat in the North America Gallery. As running is a bison's best defense, they are very fast speeding up to 55 MPH in their haste to escape predators.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

The University of Missouri Health System will receive $13.3 million from the federal government to enhance primary care for elderly patients.
The state of Missouri is expected to get about $100 million dollars in additional Medicaid funds over several years under a federal program intended to encourage more home- and community-based services for the elderly and disabled.
Regional news coverage from the KBIA newsroom, including:
A judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging Missouri's new Medicaid insurance contracts covering more than 400,000 low-income residents.
The Missouri Legislature has given final approval to a bill that authorizes an additional $131 million of expenditures in the current budget.
The Missouri Supreme Court has been asked to appoint a new judge to hear a lawsuit challenging a state Medicaid contract.
Some low-income seniors and people with disabilities in Missouri could have to pay more out of pocket to qualify for Medicaid coverage under changes being initiated in the state program.
During the Great Recession, as the ranks of poor and unemployed swelled, enrollment in Medicaid shot up, growing by 7.8 percent in 2009. At the same time, state tax revenues collapsed by nearly 17 percent. States couldn't afford to pay their share of Medicaid costs, and Congress came to the rescue with the Recovery Act, boosting federal Medicaid funding by around $103 billion. But the recovery dollars ran out in June, and now states are facing the biggest yearly increase in Medicaid costs in history, according to projections by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Missouri already spends over a quarter of the state budget on Medicaid.
For people with chronic conditions, getting Medicaid services can be a confusing, disjointed experience, shuffling from provider to provider. Under a provision of the Affordable Care Act, states can apply for federal money to help coordinate that care. Missouri did just that, and the news came today that the state will be the first to get this kind of funding under the ACA. Missouri's application was aimed at helping people with chronic mental health issues.

Will Apple ever improve iTunes audio quality?
Okay, I honestly didn't think Id be listening to 256kbps in 2012. What gives? I mean, why can't they sell CD quality at the very least? Hell, for people who don't care they can give the option to upload to devices at a compressed size. But with Pono coming out, offering master quality recordings, will more than likely be my main music media source (coming from someone with over 1,000 purchased iTunes songs). Apple will have to up the quality, right? I sure hope so.

Won't happen. I listen to ALAC only and wish apple would upgrade. A small minority care for CD quality music these days. Each song on average is 30 mb in ALAC and 8 mb in 256 kbps. That's almost 4x more space than 256 kbps. To them, it's a completely unnecessary upgrade.

Gotta say I hope you're wrong. :/
If Apple loves music as much as they say they'll upgrade... Hopefully.

If you notice their new retina display laptops are being made with relatively small HDs. e.g. 128 GB, 256 GB. They are offering 512 GB as the most expensive model. This tells me that they won't increase kbps. In fact, everything is moving toward cloud based streaming. e.g. iTunes Match. Streaming requires 0 space. They are looking to downgrade, not upgrade. Lol.

Don't let the placebo effect take over. For listening 256 VBR AAC is perfect.

---------- I disagree. With a set of reference headphones I think there is a difference. It may negligible to most, but I want the best sound possible. That being said, there will be a MASSIVE difference between the master recordings and 256kbps.

You have to have good enough hardware to tell the difference. Some songs there is no difference because they were mastered for MP3. I compress to 256 kbps when transferring to my iPhone because you won't be able to tell on the iPhone. Throw in a good DAC, a tube amp and a good pair of headphones, you will notice things you never have before. For most people this is unnecessary and overkill, but not for me. And I would much rather own the physical CD, this way I have it forever!

I will not buy anything from iTMS because of this. I only buy CDs. No sense in paying nearly the same price for less quality content. But I also have MFSL 24k Gold CDs and really enjoy my music and sound quality.
They are not targeting customers like me, but rather mainstream music consumers. |

New music is being released now at higher bitrates than CD's in multiple formats. 1411 aiff is not the be all, end all, it's ridiculous to claim that 256 is. |

That may be the case. I don't buy many new artists CDs. Mainly old artist new releases. And many discs that were pressed before they were "remastered." Many remastered discs kill the dynamic range it seems. The MFSL discs as well as DVD-A are some of my favorite formats.

Amazon's 256 bitrate sounds pretty horribly compressed also. You are not getting a quality product at either 128 or 256. You are getting a cheap, quick to download, good enough product. |

I don't think selling lossless is on the horizon.
The number of people who invest in high quality equipment, want to own the music, and care enough about lossless vs high bitrate mp3/AAC is a very small % of the market. Companies like HDTracks are stepping up for that niche, but I don't see Apple doing it. The next big thing is who will win the music streaming wars, and Apple's rumored streaming service almost certainly will not be using ALAC. |

Using a high quality dac, amp, and reference custom in ear monitors, there is VERY little quality difference between an excellently encoded 256kbps track and the lossless CD rip. at 320kbps, for most genres, that difference becomes basically imperceptible. At that point, you're more interested in the hardware than the music - and that is quite sad. |

I find the 256 bitrate fine for general listening i.e. in the car on the way to work, out on the deck/back yard with a wireless speaker etc.. However when I want to listen on my home system the limitations become apparent on many songs (Some are actually still pretty good). If I buy an album on iTunes a lossless version should be an available option.

To each his own. All I can say is it's downright stupid to pay the same price for compressed audio in my opinion. I will continue to purchase single songs until the release of a higher quality service, then my days of iTunes will more then likely be over. Also, some of the streaming services offer different qualities, when streaming at the highest quality is it CD quality?

I will continue to buy CDs. It is ironic that CD's are higher quality and cheeper. Plus as an added bonus you get an extra hard copy back up.
I wish Apple would offer a lossless choice since bandwidth and storage space are no longer much of an obstacle (and growing less so each year). A major problem can be getting studios on board. They only see potential copy (as if CD's didn't already exist) problems unless offered lots of $s to appease them. |

Apple will improve the audio quality when it improves the speakers on its mac products. The speakers on apple system are good, but apple will take it to the next level. Unlike other firms, apple does not simply give out good things by itself, they always compliment it with a better product or technology.

Early in his research into the human mind and spirit, author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard emphasized that spiritual freedom and enlightenment were all but unattainable goals to individuals denied their most fundamental human rights.
Accordingly, he wrote the Code of a Scientologist, calling on all members of the religion to dedicate themselves "to support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights." In doing so, he laid the groundwork for what has become a global movement of advocates for the human rights of all people, regardless of their social condition, ethnicity or religious affiliation.
Today, Scientologists on five continents engage in collaborative efforts with government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to bring about broad-scale awareness and implementation of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the world's premier human rights document.
We welcome the participation and collaboration of all who share the goal of a world where human rights are an everyday reality for all.
We are confronted daily with news of ethnic conflicts, inhumane practices, civil unrest and war.
The media is filled with stories of human rights violations—from domestic violence and school bullying to corruption and poverty and government-sanctioned discrimination. All the while, a majority of the world's population does not even know what human rights are and that they are entitled to them.
With the support of the Church of Scientology, multimedia human rights materials educate and raise awareness, reaching more than 100 million individuals worldwide each year.
The United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights became the specific educational focus of the program after surveys showed that less than 10 percent of the population knew of the existence of the Declaration and even fewer could name more than one or two of the 30 basic rights articulated in the document.
The increasing interest of young people in learning their human rights generated by the What are Human Rights? booklet led to the creation of 30 educational public service announcements (PSAs), each depicting one of the human rights laid out in the Universal Declaration.
The film The Story of Human Rights is a key component of the human rights education campaign, introducing viewers of all ages to their most fundamental freedoms.
The Story of Human Rights is a striking 10-minute documentary defining one of the world's most misunderstood subjects.
Both United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights International maintain interactive websites with the full array of resources available in 17 languages.
All human rights booklets, PSAs and The Story of Human Rights are available to download or order online. The websites feature an interactive virtual educational system for anyone teaching or learning basic human rights.
A basic premise of human rights is that they are for everyone. Thus, regardless of economic or cultural background, any individual, by participating in these programs, can galvanize popular support for human rights and human rights education in their own community, city or country.
The Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center in Los Angeles, California, stands at the heart of the global humanitarian initiatives supported by Churches of Scientology and Scientologists. In addition to generating dissemination materials for the more than 10,000 Scientology Churches, Missions and affiliated groups worldwide, the center produces educational materials for all Church-sponsored humanitarian programs.
Achieving global implementation of human rights requires widespread human rights education.
To bring it about, for more than 40 years Churches of Scientology and their members have initiated and supported programs that effectively raise popular awareness of human rights and teach them to youth and adults.

Volunteers Work to Revitalize Warner Robins
WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Local volunteers and organizations are joining forces to clean up the north side of Warner Robins.
Georgia Initiative for Community Housing, Keep Warner Robins Beautiful, Houston Habitat for Humanity and New Hope International Church are working to revitalize the Sewell Circle and Camellia Circle area.
New Hope International Church has worked in the community for years. Resident Rudy Kerr is happy to see more groups getting involved.
"When I first met them I asked one question," Kerr said, "Was they going to be consistent and they kept that promise."
Justin Gaston with New Hope International Church has been at the forefront of this effort.
"The environment is so important. I tell people all the time, we adapt to the environment that we are in and if you have a clean environment then your lifestyle adapts to that," Gaston said.
Kerr says the clean up builds community pride and curbs crime.
"It's not only cleaner but it's just been a lot safer," Kerr said.
Georgia Initiative for Community Housing is working with groups to set up regular cleaning days and teach residents to take control of their own community.
"If you're emphasizing environmental concerns that's helping everyone who lives there,' said Tom Prior with the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing Committee.
Gaston said the group intends to clean up the community the third Saturday of every month.

Test New Feature: Mark Forums Unread Automatically
Hey Guys,
We recently changed the read/unread marking behavior on the site. Before, if you idled for too long, or left the site, then the site would automatically mark all the forums as read. This would be problematic for people who stayed on the site for a while, or tried to coordinate between devices or computers. We switched to a system where you need to explicitly read a thread to mark it as read. Alternatively, you can "Mark All Read" manually. Obviously, some people were used to the old system. So, I've added an option in your user control panel: http://forums.macrumors.com/profile.php?do=editoptions "Automatically mark forums read" This lets it behave like it used to. try it. let me know if there are any problems. arn |

The old way was not very intuitive for me. Is it not possible to automatically mark only the threads you have actually visited as read and then when new posts appear those should show up as unread, or is the site doing that now? phpBB does this.

How could Richardson be an A- if he doesn't fit our scheme?
Darrelle Revis Trade C-
It's unfair to Idzik because the owner didn't wanna pay, proly the best player in the history of this team but whenever you trade away a future Hall of Famer for a single 1st round pick its bad...
Dee Milliner A+
Love this pick, the Best player left on the board, I had him as the 2nd best player overall... can't believe he fell in our laps like that
Sheldon Richardson A-
Best available player but a poor scheme fit... love the player though, When u see him play he reminds you of Warren Sapp with that quick fast physical play style
How could Richardson be an A- if he doesn't fit our scheme?
Geno Smith C
What can I say, 32 fumbles ... scares the crap out of me but I'll give him points for cojones
Revis Trade -- A+
Knowing the guy wanted (and would get) $16M a year made this a no-brainer. TB had no intention of giving up their 1st, yet still did even though they were bidding against themselves
Miliner -- B+
While I'm glad we were able to get a supposed stud, I just don't think we need an elite secondary to have an elite defense
Richardson -- A-
Actually wanted Cooper/Star at 9/13, so Richardson came close to fitting the bill. Trusting Rex has a plan for this "poor scheme fit". Once I heard "Warren Sapp potential" I was sold
(FTR I wanted NOTHING to do with Eifert that early, and was a little nervous about Austin, so I had no trouble going all D even before the draft started . . .)
Smith -- B
Just don't see how you pass up the supposed best QB in the class, but not holding out any hope until he actually shows me something
Last edited by OCCH; 04-27-2013 at 10:48 PM.
Brian Winter A-
Tough physical player who finishes plays... needs to play with leverage and technique more consistantly
He fits our scheme...Rex will use multiple looks.
Maybe geno will learn not to turn ball over, something Sanchez couldn't learn in 4 years.. Geno did complete 70% passes, a wet dream for mark . Can't see how any jet fan trashes geno pick, 90% of us thought he wouldn't even fall to 9 so wasn't much of a debate.. We almost picked him at 13. We picked him in 2nd rd without trading up and fans complain ...amazing
Round 4
Chris Ivory trade A++
You give up a 4th round pick and get a 1st round caliber player with a lot of tread still left on the tires... how the **** he pulled this one off?? bad move on the saints part

This conference will explore several questions related to China's rise to prominence and power in world politics. What are China's attitudes and policies toward the current array of international institutions, norms and rules? How is China engaging with key global issues today, such as nuclear non-proliferation, the financial crisis, and climate change? Will China assume more of a leadership role in the future, and if so, will it work within the existing system or seek to revamp that system? What can the US do to ensure that China is a "responsible stakeholder," and what adjustments will the US have to make as China's influence grows? On May 24 we will bring many of the best minds in the field to UCLA to discuss these questions.
The keynote speaker is John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress and former White House Chief of Staff to President Clinton. Other confirmed speakers include Gen. Wesley K. Clark (ret.), former State Department Director of Policy Planning Stephen Krasner, CBS foreign news correspondent Terry McCarthy, former Deputy Asst.

I have a 1990 1/2 ton 4x2 w/ 6.2L Diesel. I would not trade it for anything offered now. My first car was an 85 GMC Suburban 1/2 ton, 4x4, 350. I am a GMC guy and can not stand the front of the new Yukon XL. If GM offered a heavy half 2wd with a smaller diesel, wouldn't even have to be a duramax, with a 6 speed manual, seeting for 9, vinyl or rubber floor and vinyl or cloth seats. I might buy a new one. I don't mind the look of the Suburban over the Yukon, but I did not realize the second row no longer folds flat. One last thing, bring back the Barn Doors. Not that a new Suburban would fit in my garage, they're too tall, but if it did I could not open the back in the garage. With the barn doors I can open the back up anywhere. Aparently GM can make more money by making these a luxury vehicle and selling them for 50K+ than they can by making them what they used to be.

We've got a 1999 K1500 with the old school 350. Bought it with around 150,000 k on the odometer, and we're pushing 300,000 k. And you can't tell me its a gas hog. She can get 36 MPG while towing a 7x14 cargo trailer! Although, that was through the fruit bowl of California with cruise control pinned at 55 MPH... Still... Averages about 18 MPG, and running strong. :P
What GM should do, is make the 2500 into what the Suburban was. The fold flat second row seats, the removable third row seats, and offer the 6.6 Duramax with the 6 speed Alison. That would be a killer machine.

Were happy with the results, but don't know if the market would support it. I know many people that would be all in. I would love one, I could never afford it, but it would be awesome.

Heck, if the 4.5 would have been available on my 2011 purchase that's the truck I'd bought. I'm sure it would have been more $$, and I can see that if pricing were an issue that would bring pause to GM on releasing it. It'd only make sense if the price were right. The 6.xL versions are mad expensive for sure. But I would never need that much power; the 4.5 would be plenty and a heck of a lot of fun to own and drive (not to mention fuel savings...) I kind of miss the GM that would put things on the market just for the heck of it...

CNG would be a nice option too. Especially since CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is about $1.30 per gallon equivalent right now.

Seriously, if your palette isn't discerning enough to notice a difference, then simply go ahead and enjoy the $70 you have in your wallet after waking up from your drunken stupor. In fact, go ahead and start a thread about it instead of ****ting all over this one. I'm certainly not going to try and change your mind.
Earlier this afternoon:
Liquer? Didn't even knowher.
...and I'm sticking with it
lol, merge fail
Picked up this stuff over the weekend. A bit stronger, but also heavenly.
Eight tracks; each one simply...delicious.
Except that one is Irish Whiskey and is Scotch. So despite your novice palatte, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to tell the difference.
But to address your question, why spend money on anything? Is there any reason to spend money on good food? Wine? Clothes?
Everyone has different tastes. I drink Makers and Buffalo Trace all the time. Occasionally I'll have a drink of that 15/20 year Van Winkle that's a bit pricier. Is it it really 3-4x better than my usual pour? Probably not, but it depends on how you quantify things. To some people, eating at a fancy restaurant is extremely wasteful. To others its well worth it.
Some people think going to 8 Jet games is excessive - others wouldn't miss a game for even a cousin's wedding.

Visiting CIM
The Cleveland Institute of Music is located in the heart of University Circle, adjacent to the Case Western Reserve University campus. University Circle, Northeast Ohio's cultural center, was named one of America's prettiest neighborhoods by Forbes Magazine. We are proud to be part of this amazing community focused on the arts, education and enrichment. CIM is walking distance from Severance Hall, home to The Cleveland Orchestra, The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Botanical Garden, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Western Reserve Historical Society, Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Art. A variety of restaurants and coffee shops are also within this walkable community.
Prospective students and parents are welcome to visit the Cleveland Institute of Music throughout the year. The Admission Office is open Monday through Friday with guided tours offered daily by appointment. Please contact the Admission Office to arrange a tour.
Parking at CIM
CIM provides free parking for patrons in the lot next to the building on Hazel Drive. Although the school has ample parking, capacity crowds are expected for some events, necessitating the need for off campus parking. Metered spaces are available on Hazel Drive, just outside of the building. For more parking options around University Circle, click here.

No Field Test mode on iPhone 4?
As we continue to test the iPhone 4, we're doing our best to track the handset's signal strength, particularly in light of the ongoing issues with the antenna. Though we've also noticed that we occasionally lose bars when we hold the iPhone 4 on its lower left side, the number of bars isn't the most accurate indicator of a cell phone's reception. For more details, we turned to the iPhone's Field Test indicator, but that option doesn't seem to be available on the iPhone 4.
