Im considering doing a USAPL meet in to get into USAPL's raw nationals next year. I need to get some sleeves.
I see alot of people wearing the Blue Rehbands. Do these give any carryover or is it just as well to get a pair of mullers for 12 bucks?

They dont give any pop, but they do a GREAT job at keeping the joint warm. I use them and Id always recommend them...APT sells them and as you probably know they have 15% off discounts.

"Train to be a mother****er" -Jim Wendler
I have a pair of the blue Rehbands and I can't say their is any significant carryover. They might give me 5-10 lbs, but that could be psychological too. If there is any chance of carry over they would come from these knees and not the cheaper, thinner ones. Overall I'm very happy with them and they have held up to a fair amount of use over several years and are still in great shape. They are a worthwhile investment to have in your gym bag in my opinion.
I think the best knee sleeves for training are the APT white and black ones. They feel like a loose knee wrap and really help my knees from being torn up. I use to train without any gear which includes the time before becoming a powerlifter. I never wrapped my knees when squating. But since I started powerlifting I put the sleeves on after I get up over 400lbs. Having said that the APT knee sleeves are not permitted in the USAPL. (bummer). I have a pair of the black mullers you described and they fall apart rather quickly. I bought a pair of the blue Rehbands and I really like them. Not much carryover in the squat (certainly not nearly as much as the APT's). The Rehbands really keep the knees warm and I believe protect them well.
My suggestion (which is what I have been doing as of late in my prep for a raw usapl meet) is to train with the APT's and then switch over the Rehbands for the meet. I have used the Rehbands every so often in training to get use to them, but my theory is that protect the knee with something similiar (APT) and then use what is approved at the meet so your at no mental disadvantage come meet time.
Hey Scott unfortunately none of the neoprene type sleeves are that great compared to an APT like sleeve. I have a thick pair of Mueller that I got from The Brace Shop that are nice. All solid with no holes for the kneecap. I would never train in anything different than what I am going to lift in because there is no comparing the two types of sleeves. USAPL just doesn't give us much of a choice anyway.
I have the newer style rehbands. I feel like I get some weight out of them but that might be just a support thing rather than an assisted carryover.

I have a mueller sleeve that I have had for 3-4 years and it is still in good shape. You can also purchase them locally so you'll have a chance to try them on and see which size fits the best.

Blue Rehbands for the win. Worth the price and are very very durable.
Scott if you're in PA still, all USAPL PA meets are on purepowerlifting.com. As far as three lift meets, we are running the Iron Lion Open in State College in November and there is the American Open in December in King of Prussia. I'll be at both, but competing at the AO. PA States are typically in March.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
DOnt get me wrong Im not exactly excited to go to the USAPL as deep squats give me an allergic reaction but I do want to feel pressure again on the platform and most meets around my way just dont have any depth. I want competition and since it wont come to me. Ill go to it.

So I take it my elitefts heavy (not super heavy) knee sleeves would not be allowed in the USAPL either? Sad.

From what I gather only neoprene wraps are ok.

Smile's program salutes Rosie the Riveter and the more than six million women who took wartime jobs or filled in at the workplace while the men were drafted or enlisted in the U.S. military. Many more volunteered for the Red Cross, USO clubs like the Salvation Army or served in the military, as well. The "We Can Do It" attitude was history in the making -- a newfound independence and freedom for all women of this great nation.
Smile is a barbershop quartet that is a part of the Windsong Chorus and Sweet Adelines International. Smile has been singing together for about six years, supporting U.S. servicemen and women and the country, as well as entertaining the troops.
The library will also provide our second book discussion of "Unbroken" at 2 p.m. Oct. 25. "Unbroken" is the story of Louis Zamperini. When the war began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight and time in Japanese prisoner of war camps. It is a fascinating story to discuss.
Another part of the celebration includes celebrating our veterans. Our veterans have done or are doing so much for our country that we want to honor them. The library asks that any veteran or family member bring in pictures of veterans to be displayed. Pictures may be brought to the library now and will be displayed through Nov. 12.
We will provide the program, "What's Happening at Home" at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29. Library staff and several special local guests will talk about what life was like at home during the war.

The flu and the common cold are caused by different viruses. These non-flu viruses include rhinovirus (one cause of the "common cold") and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is the most common cause of severe respiratory illness in young children as well as a leading cause of death from respiratory illness in those aged 65 years and older. [CDC]
However, the flu and the cold are both respiratory illnesses.
Symptoms that come with the flu include high fever, body aches, extreme tiredness, and a dry cough. Often, these symptoms are more common and intense than they would be with the flu.
In the same vein, colds are usually milder than the flu and don't hit you as hard. Stuffy or runny noses are common with a cold.
Colds generally do not lead to serious medical conditions like pneumonia or bacterial infections, and do not usually require hospitalization.

From LeakyPedia
The Stunning Spell is a spell that can render a person unconscious for a short period of time, or until the counter-spell - Rennervate - is used. The incantation is "Stupefy".
[edit] Properties
[edit] Physical
The spell itself looks like a fiery jet of red light[1], and seems to generate heat; when it rebounded and nearly hit Harry Potter, it singed his hair.[2]
[edit] Magical
The spell's only effect is to knock a person unconscious, sometimes causing the person to be blasted off their feet in the process.
It seems to have the power to break other spells, such as the one that Winky the house-elf used to bind a wizard to her (though house-elf magic does differ from human magic).[1]
Depending on the power of the spell, it can either rebound off physical barriers, or break off into multiple parts, or even destroy the barrier altogether.[3][4]
[edit] Limitations
The unconsciousness is not permanent, and can be reversed with Rennervate. Like most simple spells, it can be deflected with the Shield Charm.
It won't work on creatures whose natural armour or blood seems to protect them, such as Giants or dragons. Combined Stunning spells can work where one fails, however. The effect of multiple spells seems to be much more powerful; when Minerva McGonagall was hit by four at once, the school matron Poppy Pomfrey was surprised that at her age this hadn't killed her, though it did lead to a short stay in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[5]
[edit] Uses in the Books
[edit] Third Book
Peter Pettigrew seems to have used Stupefy non-verbally to hit Ron Weasley and Crookshanks in order to escape.[6]
[edit] Fourth Book
After the Dark Mark had been cast in the aftermath of the Quidditch World Cup, Ministry of Magic officials quickly Apparated to the scene of the crime and, seeing three figures standing in the forest there, sent hundreds of Stunning spells their way. Unfortunately those three were not the real culprit, but Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Harry managed to get the trio to duck in time, but, hidden in the bushes, Winky the house-elf was not so fortunate. She was found and accused of casting the spell.[1] The real person to conjure it was Barty Crouch Jr., who had also been hit by the Stunning spells but was hidden under an Invisibility Cloak.[4]
When four dragons were brought to Hogwarts for use in the Triwizard Tournament, it took combined Stunning Spells from several dragon-keepers for it to have an effect.[7] Barty Crouch Jr. later used this spell on Viktor Krum to get him out of the way, leaving him free to murder his father.[8]
In preparation for the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament Harry Potter learnt how to use the spell. Hermione and Ron helped him to learn. This largely meant that they had to fall over again and again as Harry hit them with the spell. They had used cushions, but Ron seemed to be good at missing them. He suggested they use Mrs Norris instead.[9]
During the task Crouch Stunned Fleur Delacour, who had time to scream.[4] Harry tried to use the spell on a Blast-Ended Skrewt, but it rebounded off of its armour. He was more successful in Stunning Krum, who was under the Imperius Curse and trying to torture another Champion.[2] Later that evening having faced Lord Voldemort and now escaping, Voldemort gave the instruction to Stun Harry, however he was able to dodge and hide behind headstones.[3]
Safely back at Hogwarts Harry discovered that he was not so safe after all when the man he thought was Alastor Moody revealed himself to be Barty Crouch Jr. and a Death Eater. He was just about to kill Harry when Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall used Stupefy, blasting down the door and knocking Crouch out in the process. In this weakened state the potion Veritaserum had an effect and through using it Dumbledore got a confession from him. It also turned out that the real Moody had been kept Stunned in his trunk throughout the year.[4]
[edit] Fifth Book
Dolores Umbridge uses the spell on one of Fred and George's fireworks. This turned out to be a mistake as, having anticipated this move, the twins had enchanted the fireworks to explode with force when hit.[10]
When Umbridge attempts to sack Rubeus Hagrid, she brought with her five Ministry of Magic officials who attempted to Stun Hagrid as he made his escape. The spells had no effect thanks to his half-giant blood. Fang was hit, however. Minerva McGonagall saw what was happening and rushed out to protest and help him. But as she ran she was directly hit by four Stunning spells.[11] Afterwards she had to be moved to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[5]
Umbridge later tries to Stun some Centaurs, but fails at a cost; she was carried away and not seen again for a while. Members of Dumbledore's Army who Harry had taught the spell to earlier in the year[12] had better luck using it on the Inquisitorial Squad.[13]
In the Department of Mysteries the spell was used many times when they were then ambushed by Death Eaters. Harry had the idea to distract them by destroying the surrounding prophecies after Bellatrix Lestrange tried to Stun Harry, but having been partially stopped by Lucius Malfoy hit and broke one. When Neville Longbottom tries to cast the spell with Hermione's wand and a broken nose he shouts "STUBEFY!" with no effect.[14]
[edit] Sixth Book
Hermone believes Severus Snape may have Stupefied Filius Flitwick after he delivered the news that Death Eaters were inside the castle. She and Luna Lovegood had been waiting outside Snape's office, and when he came out he told them that Flitwick had collapsed.[15] Harry had tried to Stun Snape as he ran from the castle after killing Albus Dumbledore, but he missed.[16]
[edit] Final Book
The Stunning Spell is used multiple times when Death Eaters ambush members of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army who were trying to move Harry safely from Number 4, Privet Drive. The battle took place in mid-air. When the hood of one of his attackers slipped and was revealed to be Stan Shunpike under the Imperious Curse, Harry used the Disarming Spell rather than Stunning him. This move correctly identified Harry to the Death Eaters.[17] Remus Lupin later challenged Harry on his choice, but Harry was adamant that at that height Stunning Stan would have been tantamount to killing him.[18]
Harry hit Thorfinn Rowle with the spell whilst invisible in Tottenham Court Road. He also hit a Muggle waitress by accident when aiming for Antonin Dolohov (the spell rebounded).[19]
When trying to rescue Hermione from Malfoy Manor Harry gets hold of three wands and when using Stupefy hits werewolf Fenrir Greyback with the triple spell.[20] Ron later uses the Stunning spell to protect Hermione when she disguised as Bellatrix Lestrange. A man had been trying to get her to tell him where his missing children were.[21]
Luna Lovegood used to spell for the first time outside of the DA on Alecto Carrow when she caught her and Harry Potter in the Ravenclaw Common Room. [22]
The spell is used a lot in the Battle of Hogwarts. For example Harry uses it to save Draco Malfoy from a Death Eater.[23]
[edit] Additional Canon
[edit] The Films
In the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the spells seems to simply knock the victim to their feet, rather than knock them out. Also it is blue in colour.

Former Princeton coach and Hall of Famer Pete Carril is considered the master of offensive basketball concepts. When it comes to defense, Wisconsin's Bo Ryan may be Yoda. Yoda has the Badgers back in the NCAA Tournament once again.
Year in and year out no other team gets in an opponent's chest and guards like the Wisconsin Badgers have done over the last decade. Most fans enjoy a symphony of crisp offensive hoops, but give me the heavy metal of tough man-to-man defense guaranteeing my team is in just about every every ball game.
This year's edition is your typical Wisconsin group on the defensive end in that they'll straight up guard you for forty minutes but unlike most Badger clubs, this squad has a few dynamic offensive players that can score the basketball if games happen to become shoot outs.
In a tournament setting, players that can manufacture offense on their own when motion offense or set plays get bogged down are worth their weight in gold. Bo Ryan has a pair of this type of player to go with the Badgers usual roster full of kids that will guard you.
Key wins: Ohio State, Illinois
Key losses: Purdue, Notre Dame
Player(s) to watch: Again, all five players defend but the Badgers have dynamic inside-out offensive duo Jon Leuer and Jordan Taylor that few teams can match. Leuer is hybrid power forward who can hurt teams inside and out beyond the arc. Point guard Jordan Taylor is a creator with the ball in his hands but he can score the basketball when his team needs a bucket. The X-factor may be 6'8" forward Keaton Nankivil who is streaky, but gives the Badgers a dangerous third scorer when he's on. Like Taylor and Leuer, Nankivil is dangerous beyond the arc shooting a ridiculous 46% from deep from a forward position. These three make it nearly impossible to zone.
Top 25 Matchup Wheelhouse: Duke, Kentucky. Teams without much size in their front court allow Ryan to play Nankivil and Leuer as posts along with three guards to spread the floor without fear of punishment on the other end. Top teams like Kentucky and Duke would be bothered Wisconsin's style because they would be bogged down by the Badgers' suffocating defense, yet lack the true post threats which would force Wisconsin to play a more honest personnel group in terms of size.
Teams in the Top 25 to fear: Syracuse, Texas, UNC. Syracuse has the back to the basket threat in Rick Jackson which would force Ryan to get more size in the ball game. The 'Cuse zone is the perfect answer to the matchup questions most teams have with Wisconsin's dynamic personnel. Texas would bludgeon Wisconsin's front court on the glass if Ryan kept his smaller lineup on the floor, and Wisconsin lacks the size at wing to handle Jordan Hamilton. North Carolina's front court would cause serious matchup headaches for the Badgers.

By JAVIER SIMON
---- — PERU — Twenty-two years ago, the Evans family got a helping hand.
Two years later, they decided to return the favor, and they continue doing it today.
When Don and Shirley Evans's son Jon was in the midst of cancer treatment, family friends Scott Woodward and Mark Elmore organized a fundraising run to help the family with traveling costs and other expenses.
Jon died in 1991, but the family decided to keep the run going, using the funds to help other local families with seriously ill children.
The 23rd-annual run will take place at 5 p.m. Saturday at Forrence Orchards on Mannix Road.
"They're a huge business enterprise, and not many like them would do something like this, I think," Woodward said. "They have always been a tremendous help for us."
About 300 runners of all levels are expected to take part, running through rows of trees heavily laden with ripening apples.
The event includes a 1.25-mile non-competitive walk, about a quarter-mile Fun Run for children and also the 2.5-mile Run for Jon.
Woodward said the runners who typically participate come from many backgrounds — some are casual runners, while others are professionals who've been regional and state champions.
"At the front, the race can be very competitive," he said.
The Run for Jon is sanctioned by the Adirondack Association of the U.S.A. Track and Field Association.
The Evans family brings along a picture of Jon every year so that is front and center as Woodward delivers a brief talk on his life.
As Jon's former cross-country coach, Woodward reflects on many memories of a "sweet kid" breaking a sweat on the track and rising to become lead modified champion of the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference.
Mr. Evans said the race generally brings in about $3,000 to $4,000 a year. Throughout the year, that money is distributed to families in need.
"If you need help and give the Evanses a call, they would gladly write you a check," Woodward said of those who qualify for assistance.
The Evans family also keeps their eyes out for media reports of families in need.
This year, the Run for Jon will also feature a bake sale, with the proceeds divided between the Jonathan Evans Memorial Fund and the Running for Roz fund.
The latter organization was formed in memory of Rosalind Prisciandaro, a former Peru High School track and cross-country coach who was a longtime supporter of Run for Jon. She died in July 12 after fighting acute myeloid leukemia, and the funds raised by Running for Roz go to the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society.
This year, the organizers of the run will be selling a new Run for Jon T-shirt emblazoned with a special quote that is important to the Evans family.
Shorty before Jon died, his younger sister had asked him for some running advice, their father said.
He replied, "Take the lead and don't look back."
The Run for Jon takes place at Forrence Orchards, Mannix Road, Peru on Saturday.
Registration takes place from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m.
Cost is $10 per person, $25 per family and $2 for the Fun Run.
The non-competitive Walk starts at 5 p.m., the Fun Run at 5:30, and Run at 5:45. Learn more at runforjon.com.

This is a compilation of my freehand pencil drawings. The drawings are based on sci-fi and fantasy
Acerca del autorRobert Beltran
bigrob45 SF Bay area, california
Robert Beltran was born on October 31st 1965 in Castro Valley Ca. I have been illustrating ever since I could hold a pencil, I would watch cartoons, sci-fi movies and read comics. Then I would draw them in my own unique way.Growing up in the bay area in my teen years I learned how to do murals and being a Mexican-American, I would do a lot of Chicano art. My heart though longed for sci and comics, loved that genre so much that I just started doing sci-fi fantasy. Years later I went to school and took my art to the next level. I have been drawing for over 30 years now, you would think that I would've grown up, but I still have the little kid in that loves all those great genres, Lord of the Rings, Batman and even Saturday morning cartoons. I love the fact that I can share my artwork with the world now!! Today I am a freelance graphic artist and work in different fields, I love what I do and have a passion for art.

Students in the Mathematics major and minor get a balanced mix of classical and modern mathematics and acquire a strong foundation in conventional math theory and problem-solving techniques. They learn to use technology such as computer algebra systems, geometry modeling software, spreadsheets and computer programming to aid in modeling and investigating problems. Students also learn to communicate their mathematical ideas clearly and professionally in written and oral formats.
The Mathematics department has a challenging curriculum with an abundance of support to encourage students to grow as mathematicians and leaders. Students have many opportunities to hone their leadership skills by working as graders and tutors in the department or through involvement with the Tri Pi Math Club that hosts Game Night and Math Day, a competition for local high schools.
Students who find fulfillment in this area of study typically enjoy analytical thinking and want to continue to increase their critical thinking, problem-solving and quantitative reasoning skills. Students often major or minor in mathematics to supplement a wide variety of other majors and minors that can benefit from the analytical reasoning skills developed in this course of study.

ATLANTA (Oct. 25, 2007) – Elizabeth Crossman, the recently retired president of Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation, has been elected to serve as secretary of Habitat for Humanity International's board of directors. Crossman was chosen to be an officer of the 28-member board that oversees the organization's mission of building simple, decent housing in partnership with people in need throughout the world.
"It's an honor to serve on the board of Habitat for Humanity International, an organization offering a practical solution to affordable housing so that low-income people may know the security, safety and comfort that homeownership allows," said Crossman.
Crossman joined Weyerhaeuser in 1986 and retired this past March as president of the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation, which seeks to increase understanding of the importance and sustainability of forests to meet people's needs. Her responsibilities included directing foundation and corporate donations totaling $12 million annually; focusing on community support in locations where the company's 500-plus facilities operate; and overseeing programs and projects of unique relevance to the forest products industry.
As president, Crossman also directed the company's scholarship, matching gifts and employee volunteer programs, as well as in-kind contributions and Weyerhaeuser's participation in the United Way campaign.
Currently, Crossman serves on the Rogue Community College Foundation board and is a past president of Philanthropy Northwest, the regional association of grant makers. She also served full terms on the boards of both the YWCA of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and Scholarship America.
Members of the HFHI board receive no compensation for their voluntary service. Board terms are two years and each member may serve four consecutive terms.
Habitat for Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 250,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.

St. Petersburg Police shot and killed a man early Saturday morning who they said pointed a rifle at them.
Officers first got a call of shots being fired at around 1:45 a.m. near Lealann Russell Melder Cooley's home on 40th Street North but didn't find anything.
Nearly two hours later police received a noise complaint in the same neighborhood.
When officers arrived they heard a gunshot coming from Cooley's home.
They found Cooley standing on his porch with a handgun. Investigators said he put the gun down but grabbed a rifle and aimed it at police.
"I saw the cops approach the house and just yell out, 'put it down! put it down!'" said Christopher Thomas, who lives two houses down the street. "They unloaded at least 15, 20 shots."
Authorities searched the home afterward and found several weapons and ammunition strewn about the house.
"We're really not sure what at this point exactly what was going on in his head," said Mike Puetz, a spokesperson for the St. Petersburg Police Department. "Apparently this man had apparently been firing shots in his backyard most of the day."
Puetz said Cooley had been making suicidal threats, acting strange and drinking heavily, causing his wife and daughter to leave; they weren't home when he was killed.
The family's landlord, Cliff Lockwood, found out what happened late Saturday morning.
"I didn't believe it at first," Lockwood said shortly after being told what happened. "I don't know what to do. There's nothing I can do until the police notify me. I'm at a loss."
Lockwood said the family had rented the house for nine years and it didn't seem as if anything was wrong.
"I saw them a month ago maybe and everything seemed fine," he said. "I'm glad they weren't there when it happened and I hope they're okay."
"They're a nice, sweet, little family," added Thomas, who's lived in that neighborhood for two years. "I just hope the daughter and the wife are okay. I feel bad for them. My heart goes out to them."
The six officers who fired at Cooley have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Anna and Elsa proudly stepped forward as Snow White placed sparkling crowns on their heads. They waved to the crowd, and the room erupted in cheers.

Robbery at Newcastle barber shop
Police are investigating a robbery in Newcastle where three men went into a barber shop and threatened staff.
The robbery happened on the evening of Thursday 21 March at a barber shop on Downend Road in Westerhope, when the men went inside and demanded cash before assaulting two men aged 42 and 19.
The two men suffered minor injuries and were left shaken after the incident.
The three men made off, stealing two barber razors but no cash, and they are thought to have left the area in a car - possibly a Vauxhall Corsa or one of similar size and shape.
Descriptions of the men are as follows:
- The first man is white
- About 6 ft tall
- Of stocky build
- Aged in his thirties
- Wearing a dark-coloured baseball cap and Mera Peak-style grey jacket.
- The second man is white
- About 6 feet 3 inches tall
- Of stocky build
- Wearing a dark baseball cap and waterproof dark jacket
The third man was shorter than the other two.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 ext 69191, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
– DC Dave Johnson
"We're appealing for any witnesses to this robbery or anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area to contact police as soon as possible.
"Although the two men were not seriously injured they were left shocked and shaken and there's no place for violence such as this in our communities. We're carrying out enquiries to trace the three men involved."

Environment Agency appeals for help over oil slick in River Wharfe at Otley
5:00pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in Local news
The Environment Agency is appealing for help to trace the cause of an oil leak on the River Wharfe.
A large slick of some kind of oil could be seen flowing through the middle of Otley today (Thursday, January 30).
Robin Jakeways, of Whiteley Croft Road, spotted the pollution in the morning and, fearful of its likely impact on local wildlife, immediately contacted the authorities.
Mr Jakeways, who took this dramatic shot of the spillage from Otley Bridge, said: "The film of oil smells very unpleasant and is probably diesel.
"There are many birds on the river at this point and it is to be hoped that they will not be seriously harmed."
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "We have received reports from members of the public regarding oil pollution on the River Wharfe by Otley Bridge, Otley.
"Environment officers are working with Yorkshire Water to investigate. There are no reports of wildlife in distress.
"Anyone who has any information about this or any future pollution incidents is urged to call the Environment Agency's Incident Hotline on 0800 807060."

When you think of an action packed title featuring a gorgeous woman who can swing some punches and kick some ass, who do you think? If you said Tomb Raider, well sadly your wrong.
Konami's upcoming action-adventure title "Blades of Time" follows the gorgeous treasure hunter Ayumi, who finds herself under siege in the hostile fantasy realm of Dragonland, where demonic creatures fueled by Chaos magic wreak havoc.
Developed by Gaijin, Blades of Time is an original action title boasting a sword-wielding treasure hunter named Ayumi, fighting for survival within a hostile fantasy realm. The game is set in the world of Dragonland, legendary for its treasure, where a demonic being has taken control and is wreaking havoc. Armed with a pair of swords, Ayumi is charged with toppling the evil overlord, and must evolve her fighting skills and magic abilities in order to proceed.Check out the new trailer below showing off some of Ayumi's elegant melee and ranged combat and in some instances using Time Rewind to clone herself into a small army to fight her monstrous adversaries.
As always, swing by our game page where we have the latest in news, screenshots and trailers. Blades of Time will be available March 6th, 2012 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Oklahoma City's NBC News affiliate, KFOR, is reporting that starting Sooners middle linebacker Austin Box has died, citing the local medical examiner's confirmation. Phil Cross, a reporter with OKC's FOX affiliate, has a statement from the El Reno, Okla. police department, which tells us that Box was found unresponsive at an El Reno residence, and taken to a local medical facility before being transferred to Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City. No further information is given on the cause of his condition, and an investigation into his death is reportedly underway.
The senior from Enid topped the Sooner's post-spring practice depth chart at MLB, heading up a young class at the position along with fellow senior Travis Lewis. Box battled multiple injuries over the course of his playing career in Norman, but was cited by SB Nation's Oklahoma blog in a spring camp roundup as a crucial impact player, even when hobbled:
When the guy is one the field he just has a knack for making plays. He brings one of those indescribable aspects to the defense where he isn't the best athlete out there, but when there is a play to be made you can pretty much guarantee he's going to be right there.
Box was 22 years old. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Oklahoma football community.

How long will it be before The Netherlands' super-talented Dafne Schippers challenges the more established stars of the Heptathlon for the medals at a major senior international championship?
Will it be at the 2013 IAAF World Championships or the 2014 European Athletics Championships or are those dates with destiny too premature?
One thing seems certain; the 20-year-old is on an upward trajectory. It seems only a matter of time before she can battle on level terms with the likes of London 2012 Olympic Games champion Jessica Ennis, Natalia Dobrynska, Tatyana Chernova or the rest of the world's top multi-event exponents.
Schippers collected the 2010 World Junior Championships Heptathlon gold medal in Moncton, Canada two years ago. Last year, she added the European junior title in Tallinn and this summer she finished 12th at her first ever Olympic Games.
Makes her mark in Moncton
Originally from Utrecht but now living in Arnhem, she first emerged as a rising star in the Heptathlon at the 2009 European Athletics Junior Championships in Novi Sad, Serbia, where she finished fourth with 5507 points.
One year later, she made her real breakthrough in Moncton where she won the world junior crown with a personal best of 5967 points, beating Germany's Sara Gambetta in a competition where she improved in four individual events.
Schippers also won three individual events outright in Moncton: the 200m - with an impressive if slightly wind-assisted run of 23.41 - the 100m Hurdles and the Long Jump.
"I was very glad with my gold in Moncton. I started as one of the favourites but it was just my second appearance at a major championships event, so I tried to focus on just doing every event as good as possible and I didn't focus on winning", recalled Schippers.
She progressed further in 2011 and won a continental title in the Estonian capital with a superb score of 6153 points, after having put together a world-leading tally of 6172 points in Gotzis a few months earlier.
She opened with a new Dutch junior 100m Hurdles record of 13.27, faster than the time recorded to win the individual title in this championship.
In the 200m, she clocked 22.91 and missed her best by just 0.01, running faster than the winning time of the British sprinter Jodie Williams when winning the 200m title in 22.94; and in the Long Jump she set a national junior record of 6.47m, again further than the winning distance in the individual event.
Tallinn troubles
However, Schippers had an erratic competition in the other disciplines in Tallinn with marks of 1.63m in the High Jump, 13.47m in the Shot Put, 39.76m in the Javelin Throw and 2:22.40 in the 800m.
She had a lead of just14 points over Gambetta before the last 800m and had to stay ahead the German to secure the win, but in the end finished two places in front of ahead of her German rival to secure victory.
"In Tallinn I just wanted to win. I was world junior champion. I wanted to be the best again, so it wasn't so easy. My whole competition was filled with ups-and-downs. I set two national junior records but I didn't perform as I hoped in the High Jump and the Javelin. I won the gold medal but it was a tough competition and I learned from this experience."
The following month, at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, she opted to run the 200m and clocked a highly impressive Dutch 200m record of 22.69 in her heat before running 22.92 in the semifinals.
Shippers showed that her Korean outing was no fluke when she came very close to another 200m national record at the 2012 European Athletics Championships and clocked 22.70 in the semifinals.
Medal miss
This time made her a medal favourite but in the final she could not repeat her outstanding semifinal time and had to settle with a fifth place. However, she eventually did go home with a medal from Helsinki after she was part of the Dutch 4x100m relay team that took the silver medals behind Germany.
Schippers can also boast of some other impressive sprint times, such as 7.19 in the 60m, 11.19 over 100m and 8.18 for the 60m Hurdles.
"I ran the 200m in Daegu to gain experience. It was great to break the national record there. In Helsinki, I just wanted to reach the final. Winning the relay medal was not easy. We knew it wouldn't be easy but we have a good young team that made a big step forward this year."
In the Heptathlon, she made further strides forward, improving her best across the seven events from 6172 to 6360 points when finishing seventh on her return to Gotzis before scoring 6324 points in London.
"It was a really big event. There were a lot of enthusiastic people in a big stadium", recalled Schippers of her first Olympic experience.
"Gotzis 2011 was my first big competition against the best heptathletes in the world. It was great to come back this year and improve my PB. Running the 200 metres in under 23 seconds in 2011, with 22.90, was very special. I knew I was very fast but I had to run against Jessica Ennis, who was very fast too. I was very happy to improve my time in 2012", said Schippers.
In the London 2012 Heptathlon, Schippers took a narrow win in the 200m over local heroine Ennis, winning in 22.83 although both women were given the same time. She also set two new bests, in the High Jump with 1.80m and in the 800m with 2:15.82
"For now, I choose the Heptathlon as my main event so my training is focused on this. I will go on sprinting but I only train for sprinting once a week. I am planning to compete in the Heptathlon at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow."
Early start
Dafne started with athletics before she entered her teens.
"I was nine years old and just started to do all the events. This is how many athletes start in The Netherlands. I also practiced some gymnastics and tennis. At the beginning, I just started with my athletics club and never thought about doing it seriously.
"When I was 16 years old, I was invited to train with the national team. Only then did I realise that I could do well. What I like about the Heptathlon is the diversity and the training for it too.
"I need to work on my throws, especially the Javelin, and also the High Jump. I need to be more consistent in all seven events. I train nine times a week during the heavy period of training and six-to-seven times in a light week."
Outside of the sporting arena, Dafne enjoys staying with her family in her spare time. "I have one older brother and one older sister. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother is a teacher at an elementary school.
"When I am not training, I like staying with my family or walking with my dog. I started my studies to become an elementary school teacher but I have put that on hold to focus on my training. I would like to attend a course to get better in English," added Schippers, describing her activities away from the track.

Cannot Override Cufon Formatting
#1: I would like to override the Cufon font formatting by remove/replacing the 'width' attribute it places on most of my Heading tags. For example, in the blog heading "Enterprise Zones...", you'll see that the second line is not spaced in alignment with the first line.
#2: In IE7 with this page, on the right column the heading 'Latest Blog' is in the middle of the Archives. Why?
Thank you.

1) You're still using Cufon? What is this, 2002?
2) Seriously, switch to webfonts. They don't have all the BS around them. Use Font Squirrels generator to turn your TTF into all the needed formats... that way they behave as normal page elements instead of the decade out of date VML+Scripting mess that is Cufon.
In general though, I'd say that's the LEAST of your problems on that page with the illegible color contrasts and uselessly undersized fixed metric fonts -- sending me diving for the zoom to even TRY to use the page. The misuse/abuse of the H1 tag, endless wrapping elements for nothing, dropdown menu that's more 1997 than 2011, XML prolog meaning you have to hack around quirks mode in IE, 7 stylesheets when you don't even HAVE multiple media targets, and 1.3 MEGABYTES of javascript for christmas only knows what basically making the page not just unusable, but probably resulting in massive bounce as nobody is willing to wait for it to load.
You're basically using 1.7 megabytes in 40 separate files on a page that there's no reason for it to be more than 20 files totalling around 100k... Just the markup alone; 17k of HTML for 1.34k of plaintext means it's such a convoluted mess, my advice (and I say this a lot lately) is to throw it ALL AWAY and start over clean -- it's so out of date on methodologies it would take longer to fix properly than it would to rewrite.
In terms of bandwidth use, speed, accessibility, functionality and maintainability, there's nothing there even worth trying to salvage.

Deathshadow has pretty much summed up your core issues with the site. Looks great, but at what cost?
I'd strongly suggest you consider his points.
With respect to Cufon fonts, I initially used them as a headline font replacement option in my commercial WordPress theme, then deprecated them in favor of Google Web Fonts. I have several skeptics here on their efficacy, but I have nothing but positive things to say about them in comparison to Cufon.

Texas Redfish
By Calixto Gonzales
Some Texas coast anglers will tell you they got rooked when the state legislature voted to christen the Guadalupe bass the state fish. A dinky little bass that barely reaches three pounds labeled the official finned critter of the Lone Star State? By Travis and Bowie, an average-size specimen would barely qualify as bait for the true state fish: the redfish.
Granted, some Texans are prone to a tiny bit of hyperbole, but not when it comes to the state's red drum fishery. After flirting with buffalo-style extinction in the 1970s, redfish populations have rebounded to where Texas Parks & Wildlife Department officials consider the state-sponsored recovery project a resounding success.
Redfish carry a long and storied history in the Texas bays and surf, and they hold a certain mystique. The largest redfish, or "bulls," didn't collect in schools; they traveled in "herds." Redfish were big, plentiful and available.
"The fishing was excellent," says Albert Rutledge, a spry 92-year-old who has fished Laguna Madre with his friends for more than 75 years. "We always caught our share when we went. Back in the 1930s, we used to go to Port Mansfield and rent a big wooden boat, hook up a 9-horsepower outboard, and go out to the sandbars and camp. There were four of us. One night, we caught so many redfish, we barely fit in the boat with them."
After World War II, combat-weary Texans began pursuing a variety of recreational activities, fishing among them. Redfish remained a popular target until the 1960s, when overfishing and, even more so, commercial gill-netting took a toll on stocks. By the 1970s, the fishery had collapsed.
The passage of House Bill 1000 in 1981, which granted redfish game-fish status, began what TPWD head marine fisheries biologist Mark Fisher calls a "multiyear recovery effort." TPWD gained the power to impose bag and size limits on all fish (ultimately resulting in the current threefish daily bag and 20- to 28-inch redfish slot). The bill also led to the establishment of a fish hatchery and extensive restocking program. The result, according to Fisher, was the recovery of redfish numbers to "near-record levels in both quantity and size."
Redfish have come back so well, in fact, that some anglers hunting trophy speckled trout and other quarry almost consider them a nuisance. Fisher recounts that at January scoping meetings, one angler complained that "he couldn't catch any trout because there were too many redfish."
Texas has plenty of redfish out there, affirms Capt. Rick Bailey (956-369-5090). "We have a variety of habitats to fish up and down the coast, and that's what makes our fishery so unique. We have marshes, deep shell, grass flats — you name it. Our surf fishing is second only to the Carolinas."
Bailey says he sees a lot of large redfish too. On a November trip through Mansfield Pass and along the Padre Island beachfront, he and his fishing partner caught more than 20 reds from 29 to 44 inches. "If I were going for a state record, I'd fish Mansfield. Port Aransas and Port O'Connor are great (for trophy redfish), but I'd fish Mansfield."
Fisher believes that the current 59-pound state record, caught out of Sabine Pass in 2000, easily could be broken. "There are some 60-pound fish out there," he says. Texas might eventually challenge the current world-record 94-pound, 2-ounce brute some day.
"It's entirely possible," Fisher says. "There are some huge fish out there."

Assalamualaikum. My name is Ahmad Fikri. I am from Malaysia. I been Islam in my entire life but never follow or truss the religion. This is because I am Islam by blood (my father and mother are Islam). I never do bad thing entire life until one day that make me feel something is missing in my life.
A few day before Hari Raya Haji, my father die due to heart attack. I never like my father because he used to torture my mentally and my psychologically because he used to think us (his kids) are the reason the marriage fail. He even torture my mother until she broke her spine when I was 7 years old which is during pre divorce. The reason I hate my father because at that time even I cry to beg to stop, he keep doing it like a freaking mad men (my mother fine, alive and can walk today even from the injury she get).
I need a change. My father dead and I do not want to be bad child. Please help me

Brookhaven is considering becoming a golf cart community. Brookhaven City Councilman Bates Mattison came up with the idea when he ran for city council last fall.Residents told Mattison they want the new city of Brookhaven to be a golf cart community, like we see at Peachtree City, which is located south of Atlanta. He says it wasn't the top concern for residents, but it did stand out as the city looks at transportation alternatives.The idea is far from becoming a reality in Brookhaven.The Brookhaven City Council plans to discuss the possibility of allowing golf carts during an upcoming work session in a few weeks.In the meantime, the City Council will study other golf cart ordinances and educating themselves on state law as well. Currently, only 23 Georgia cities have laws regarding operating golf carts.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.
