Hey Everyone,

I am going to my first game next Thursday against the bucs and couldn't be more excited. I was wondering if you guys could help me out with a few questions I have. Where is the best place to park? My girlfriend apparently got us "field passes" for before the game that and we pick them up at the media will call, can anyone give me some info on what this "field pass" gets us? Thanks for helping out a fellow vikings fan.
Go Vikings,

If you want to wear your hair down for homecoming, take a cue from Miley Cyrus. Soft, big waves are romantic yet glam… especially when your hair is super shiny!
Rinse your hair with a shine conditioner. Blow dry it with a large round brush. If your hair is fine, use the brush to lift up your hair at your roots and blast them with heat (just be careful you don't blast it too hard- you don't want to end up with burnt hair!)
Use a wide barrel curling iron (1.5 to 2 inches round) to create soft waves. Make sure to curl the ends of your hair only. Spray your curls lightly with loose-hold hairspray. Run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls, and then hit the town!

Living Wage at UVA spoke out once again Wednesday afternoon. The group rallied for one main cause: equal work for equal pay.
They protested on campus between Newcomb Hall and Peabody Hall just a short time before the University of Virginia's steering committee began their open forum meeting on the future of public universities. Twenty protesters held signs and chanted in hopes of getting the attention of UVA officials.
The group says it wants all of the university's workers, contracted and direct, to be paid the same.
Organizers say, despite UVA's mission to serve the people of Virginia, its current labor practices are hurting the Charlottesville community.
"Currently, direct employees can be paid at a base wage of $11.30 an hour. Contract employees can be paid as little as federal minimum wage, $7.25 with no benefits. What you have are people doing the exact same jobs for substantially lower wage per hour," said Emily Filler, a protest organizer.
The protestors then attended the meeting, many of them still holding their signs.

Cancellara -- in calmer times
A day after going down in the Scheldeprijs and leaving some skin on the road, Fabian Cancellara of Radio Shack-Leopard-Trek went down again on the Wandignies secteur of Paris-Roubaix cobbles, making sport director Dirk Demol and teammates nervous about his condition for Sunday's Paris-Roubaix. Cancellara, the overwhelming favorite after winning the Ronde van Vlaanderen decisively last weekend, got up and carried on, and Demol told the Belgian press they think he's fine, but he was off to see the doctor by now regardless. Look for confirmation shortly that he remains on track for Sunday. And that he'll be kept under glass until then.
[UPDATE!] OK, now that we have video we can see what this whole matter is -- an elaborate ruse. Demol has found a body-double for Cancellara (plentiful in Flanders) and had him dump himself unceremoniously on a relatively unspectacular stretch of cobbles. Yes, I know it's plausible that this is Cancellara, but ask yourself:
- Who benefits from this video? The Shack, and Cancellara, who is desperate to raise at least some doubt about his chances Sunday, lest he have 180 guys glued to his wheel all day.
- Why was it being video'd? This is the tell. Nobody would just waste valuable time and energy following cyclists around all day. Not even the Belgian press. And yet, there just happened to be a camera tracking the Shack at this moment. Soooo convenient.
- Follow the money. Specialized have won a lot of classics in the past few years. Only now does Trek have their meathooks in a healthy Cancellara. So they stage an "accident" but the bike is ok. THE BIKE IS OK! Seriously, you have to get up pret-ty pret-ty early to slip this past me.

Is Beano Safe and Effective?
Is Beano Gas Relief Or Bloated Hype?
Beano has made a name for itself in the dietary supplement world's sea of products on today's market. The form of dietary supplement that Beano handles is that of gas relief. In this review, we will discover if Beano is help or only hype.
What Is Beano And Where Did It Start?
As mentioned already, Beano is a tablet that boasts the ability to eliminate excess gas and bloating of the stomach, which can be a much-needed help if you are one of the many people plagued by excess gas or just eat many gassy foods. Beano was first released back in 1990, and has remained on the shelves ever since. It has changed its formula over the years, keeping up with new advancements in medicine, thereby ensuring it will remain effective even in today's world.
Beano's Brags
The makers of Beano say that their product is good for preventing gas, not just ridding the user of it. Bloated stomach or gas is quite common and comes from a variety of foods, such as green vegetables like peas, cabbage, or broccoli. Of course, these are not the only gassy foods out there, but they are some of the most notorious ones. Beano's makers also say that their product helps break down carbohydrates thanks to natural enzymes that it contains.
The Advertising
It is obvious that eating healthy is a good thing. Like anything else, however, there is always a drawback, even with something good. When you think of healthy eating, you likely think fruits and vegetables, which are good for you, but many cause gas in the body and bloating, which can be embarrassing or even painful at times. This gas can sometimes cause people to stop eating healthy and going back to bad foods like anything fried or processed, since they do not cause gas or cause as much. Going back to these bad foods is a bad decision overall where your health is concerned. Beano was made just for those people who want to eat healthy, but perhaps moved away from that due to the gas it can cause. Their current slogan is "Beano before, and there'll be no gas". You are smart enough to know this is not entirely accurate, but that your gas will be greatly reduced at the very least.
The Price Paid
Beano comes in a bottle containing 50 pills and it sells for about $30. The suggested dosage calls for two pills being taken before you eat a meal that is gassy in nature. So, after all the math is figured, you are likely to pay a little over $30 a month for gas relief, as the pills work out to 25 days of use, slightly less than a month. Therefore, we find that Beano is not the cheapest solution available, but many are willing to pay a higher price if the product delivers on its claims.
The Effort Required From You
Using Beano requires very little effort on your part. All you have to do is take a pill before you eat a meal that is likely to cause gas. Vegetables, beans and some grains are the most infamous foods that cause gas and/or bloating, so when you have these as part of your meal, or anything else you know for sure causes you gas, take one. All it takes is maybe a few days or as long as a week to get used to introducing a pill into your daily life.
Beano is a tablet and also has a dissolvable version for people that find it hard to swallow pills. You will not lose weight by taking Beano, but if you are trying to eat healthy and are haunted by excess gas because of it, then it will help you stay with your healthy diet. Even doctors have recommended patients try it out for gas troubles. Beano is safe for people ages 12 and up, and it may be safe for children younger than 12, but consult your child's doctor first.
Is Beano As Effective As Advertised?
The majority of customer feedback backs up Beano's claim as an effective remedy for gas and bloating. For some consumers, Beano was the only gas-relief pill that worked for them. Eating healthy is good, but gas is a side effect from it. It hurts to go around bloated all day or being gassed up just because you were eating your vegetables.
The Verdict
Beano's makers, a high percentage of consumers and even some doctors have recommended Beano for relief from gas and bloating, and so do we. For many, quality justifies price, and Beano is an example of that. Again, it is not the cheapest, but since most reviews agree that Beano is as effective as they claim it to be, and that is what makes it worth the buy.

Smith open to a Vicarage Road return (From Watford Observer)

Tommy Smith would consider a second return to Watford and reflects on Hornets career with brother Jack
11:00am Monday 5th May 2014 in Sport By Anthony Matthews, Group Sports Editor
Tommy Smith would be open to the prospect of an emotional return to Vicarage Road to play for Watford for a third time if a move "was right for them and right for me".
The Cardiff City player, who turns 34 later this month, is set to become a free agent this summer when his contract with the Premier League outfit expires and he would consider a second return to the club where he first made his name if an offer was to be forthcoming.
"I'd never say never," the two-time Hornets Player of the Season said when asked about the idea of rejoining the Hornets again. "Football is a funny game and I honestly felt when I left the first time what are the chances of ever coming back to play.
"But I'll be a free contract, I'll be listening to any offers and I would happily come back to Watford, absolutely. If it was right for them and right for me I'd have no qualms about that at all."
Turning to his brother Jack, who also started his career at Watford, Tommy added: "I'm sure you'd be the same, it's a great club and you never know, I could end up anywhere."
The brothers have strengthened their connections with the area by taking over the sales arm of a firm of estate agents and when they spoke to the Watford Observer last Monday, they also reflected on their Hornets careers and looked ahead to what the future may hold.
Having made his Hornets debut in November 1997 after rising up through the youth ranks, Tommy went on to make almost 150 league appearances, scoring 33 league goals, before joining Sunderland on a free transfer in September 2003 after turning down the offer of a new deal under Gianluca Vialli.
A year at the Stadium of Light and two seasons at Derby County followed before he was brought back to the then Premiership club for £500,000 by Aidy Boothroyd in August 2006.
The Hemel Hempstead-born player scored another 27 goals in 123 league starts during his second spell at Vicarage Road, becoming an increasingly key figure in the squad before the Hornets sold him to Portsmouth for £1.8m in August 2009 after Tommy had been on the verge of moving to Reading.
Following Portsmouth's Premier League relegation, Tommy helped Queens Park Rangers into the top-flight – confirming their rise with a late goal at Vicarage Road in April 2011 – before he also helped guide his current club to the same level under former Hornets boss Malky Mackay.

This season has been a difficult one though. Tommy has not featured at all in the Premier League, making just three cup appearances, but while he is entering the latter stages of his career, he is not ready to hang up his boots yet.
"I'm turning 34 next month so I certainly feel I've got a good couple of seasons left," he said. "I feel fit, I feel great to be honest. It's been a really frustrating season for me but on the other hand it works in my favour that I've had probably a bit less stress on the body so I feel raring to go.
"It's frustrating watching football every week and not playing, I'm not used to that. I'm the same as Jack, my contract's up, so I think I'll be looking for a new challenge in the summer and I'm really looking forward to it."
His brother, who is also expecting to become a free agent this summer when his current deal at Millwall comes to an end, added: "I think when you have a season like that it does make you realise how much you miss not playing. It's hard to sit at home and watch the results come in on the TV and you haven't got that buzz and the feeling of winning games and being involved and you miss a lot of the banter and everything, you don't feel as involved as the lads that are playing. It's not easy."
Although he has spent the past two years playing in Wales, Tommy's family are settled at their home in Berkhamsted. The player would like his next move to be in or around London but he knows that may not be possible.
"You've got to go wherever you've got to go, that's football," he acknowledged. "But first and foremost, I've got kids at school that I won't move now. If I move club, certainly my family won't be moving so ideally you want to commute and be in and around London, absolutely. That will be the main focus."
Tommy continued: "If you had the choice, certainly for us the choice would be local. And there's enough good teams locally to be there with the likes of the Watfords, Readings, Brentfords, teams like that. Leyton Orient are great now, so hopefully there will be a bit of interest that will work out for both parties."
Tommy has been a professional footballer for 17 years, more than half of which were spent at Vicarage Road. Looking back on his two spells with the Hornets he reflected: "I've got some really fond memories. It's obviously my first club, I came through as a kid, made some great friends who I'm still in touch with now – some still playing, some not. It's the club that I made my debut at, lots of highs – FA Cup semi-finals, player of the years – and lots of lows – relegations – but just fantastic memories.
"The big thing for me and the hardest decision was coming back for the second stint and it was a real 'do I, don't I?' I felt sometimes it's harder to go back a second time, particularly the way I left – I'm not sure a lot of people understood why I left.
"That was probably the toughest decision for me but the biggest one of my career that I'm the most happy about. I really enjoyed the three, four seasons I had when I came back and they're probably one of my fondest memories of my career so far looking back."
Asked what factors he had to weigh up before opting to return, the Hornets' 14th highest scorer of all-time explained: "Being local you can't really get away from Watford so if you have a bad game you're getting reminded of it all week and it always seems to hurt you a bit more.
"All professional footballers, if you lose or you don't play well on a Saturday it's hard enough to forget but when you're bumping into people and they're reminding you of it every day or 'why did you do this?' it hurts you a bit more and it's harder to forget. Coming back, I had to be prepared for that again.
"When you move away, you haven't got those kind of pressures. I think that was the biggest thing for me; I think I found just before I left, the enjoyment wasn't quite there, and I didn't want to come back and not enjoy it. Because I had such a great time at Derby for a couple of years before I re-signed for Watford, it was always going to be hard to emulate that but it certainly did."

Jack's Watford record is less significant – it was limited to 28 first-team appearances – but it set the 30-year-old defender on a path that has seen him make 304 appearances in all competitions for the Hornets, Swindon Town and the Lions.
He explained: "I was disappointed with how I left in the end. Possibly with hindsight I could have stuck around for six months after because I had a year left on my contract when Boothroyd said I could leave. But from what I've heard he looks for a reaction and I think I took it a bit too literally.
"When you're a bit younger I think you get offended when people tell you 'I don't want you' whereas now it will be 'I'll show you'. But at the time I was like 'fine, I'll go somewhere else' and obviously the next season they went and got promoted to the Premiership. So I went from potentially a Premiership player and got relegated with Swindon to League Two," Smith added with a wry smile.
"That's the only thing I look back on and think maybe that could have been different. Obviously I only played 20-odd games for Watford but as Tom said it's your local team where I was from eight, nine and to just play one game for them was good. I played against Chelsea and stuff and they're good memories and they set me up for a good career and a good grounding."
Despite living a short distance up the A41 when he is not in Wales, Tommy hasn't returned to Vicarage Road a great deal since he left in 2009. But he was in the stands with his son to watch the win over Ipswich Town last month and it was an experience both enjoyed.
"It was nice, really nice to come back and be able sit in the stands and watch it," he said. "That's the first time since I've left I've been back to Vicarage Road really bar playing and it was really enjoyable.
"I'm trying to get my son to support Watford and buying him a shirt. Obviously all his school friends are Tottenham and Chelsea but I'm like 'no', I want him to support Watford. I'm working on him," he added with a smile.

This would be a great move. He is a natural striker and would fit well with Troy, Anya and FF. It is also important that we have some experience of the guts you need i the Championship, the times when you need to dig deep and grind out a result and Tommy doesn't fall back deep with 10 minutes to go, he keeps being the threat that keeps the opponents back

He wouldn't mind a low salary and could play the odd game or two, may as sub for most of the time and maybe form the backbone of our League Cup run next season finishing at Wembley.

Cannot blame him. We would all do the same
But we have almen abdi and fernando in his position
He was told the club needed the fee from his sale to pay the monthly salaries as we were living hand to mouth, so he said if you are OK about it and you need the money, I will go.

It has been a downright ugly first half for the Kansas Jayhawks. They're having a little bit of trouble finding clean looks for Thomas Robinson and he's not getting a lot of help from his teammates. It hasn't just been poor offense -- the Ohio State Buckeyes deserve a lot of credit for their defense -- but Kansas doesn't have a whole lot of ideas when Robinson isn't making offense by himself. On the other end, Ohio State is shooting the ball well, and they lead 34-25 at the half.
The Jayhawks did get a boost going to the locker room, though. Aaron Craft drove into the lane in the dying seconds for Kansas and had his shot blocked by Jeff Withey. KU got out on the break and Travis Releford made a layup at the buzzer to cut the lead to single digits.
Kansas shot just 38 percent from the floor in the first half and didn't find their way to the free throw line until there were 24 seconds remaining in the half. That's indicative of a team that isn't just struggling to shoot the ball, but struggling to create offense. If Robinson isn't dominating, Kansas needs to get out on the break to score, and they haven't done any of that. Ohio State is rebounding and controlling the tempo well, and the slow pace has been bad for Kansas.
Jared Sullinger is having a solid game with seven points and five rebounds. The Buckeyes haven't relied on him or any player in particular, as they're doing an excellent job of spreading the ball around and looking for whoever is open. William Buford leads the Buckeyes with eight points on 3-3 shooting. Kansas' Robinson is the game's joint-leading scorer with eight points of his own.

well, except for the daily practices against lebeau's defense...
playing center against a 4-3 def is one thing. rarely is a DT lined up straight against you. so far, for pouncey's blocking assigments, he's had to decide to either double team left, double team right, or chip and slip to a LB.
this week, he's lining up against kelly gregg, and will require help from either kemo or the big legursky, but make no mistake he's gotta be able to handle him by himself as well.
the big 3-4 NT's were the main reason we ran hartwig out of town. pouncey is definitely a fleet of foot, mobile C, but can he stand his ground against gregg? better than half of the remaining games are against 3-4 teams, so the real test for pouncey and this OLine (including kugler) starts this week!
here we go!

WALLA WALLA — There are edges and then there are edges.
Iceland is an island at the edge of the Arctic Circle. It's also where extremes, physical and psychic, can push people to the edge and sometimes right over it.
Those extremes are the heart of Edward Weinman's debut novel, "The Ring Road," a murder thriller set in Iceland after a glacial volcano erupts with a vengeance.
Published by The Rogue Reader, the thriller is getting a good buzz from reviewers and ranked as a Nook "first pick" by Barnes and Noble. It is also available through Amazon.
A Walla Walla resident for the past year and a half, Weinman is currently writing for Whitman Magazine and whitman.edu.
But for nearly eight years he lived and worked in Iceland "enduring many long, dark, cold, windy, gray winters. But (making) it out alive, without kids, and having suffered only one nervous breakdown."
Weinman also made it out with the experiences and insights that form the core for The Ring Road and its central characters.
Although he began working on "The Ring Road" about three years ago, Weinman said the massive volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajokull glacier in 2010 was a critical turning point in the creative process.
"It changed the trajectory of the novel," he said.
The cataclysmic event was woven into the narrative and became the force which strands the novel's protagonist, an American tourist named Hobson, in Iceland's sublime, but dangerous, landscape.
Although Weinman had the story arc for "The Ring Road" thought out, getting it written was another matter.
"The middle is always the hardest part," he said about the work. "The beginning is always easy because you have this great idea."
It also helps to be stubborn, he said. "When you're writing something, you just have to get it out."
Another tough process is revising the manuscript, smoothing over the rough edges of the first draft and following up on suggestions by the editor. Then comes the next hardest part, getting it published.
"The publishing industry is changing so fast. You have to get a manager and they have to get a publisher," he said.
Fortunately Weinman was able to find a good manager who, in turn, was able to sell the novel to Rogue Reader.
The book's reception has been especially exciting for him, Weinman said.
"I guess there's nothing lonelier than sitting there wondering if anyone is going to read this," he said. Fortunately, more than a few people have.

Casino money: Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Casino backers claim that flatlanders will flock to New Hampshire to play in the glorious gaming palaces. From where will they flock? Massachusetts? That state is getting three of its own casinos and one slot-machine parlor. It will have one casino in each region of the state, including a big one in or near Boston. Why would any Bay Stater come to New Hampshire to gamble once those casinos (approved by law in 2011) are built?
Vermont has less than half of New Hampshire's population, and Maine's is roughly equivalent to New Hampshire's. Both of those states have median incomes that are more than $10,000 lower than New Hampshire's. We are going to count on hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue from the handful of our poorer eastern and western neighbors who are willing to drive here on the weekends to play slots and roulette?
No, the bulk of the money will come from Granite Staters. Casino backers acknowledge this when they talk of casinos retaining the money Granite Staters already spend at casinos in Connecticut.
That is why organizations like the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association oppose expanded gambling. The NHLRA board overwhelmingly opposes casinos, noting that "casino gambling revenues will come at the expense of other recreational activities in our seacoast, lakes and mountains throughout the state. This will lead to reductions in rooms and meals taxes and losses in retail expenditures," NHLRA chairman Joel Bourassa wrote to the group's members last week.
Bingo. Casinos would rob Peter to pay Paul. In New Hampshire's case, Peter represents restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and charities that benefit from the existing small-scale charitable gaming operations. Paul represents billionaire casino owners and the state. That is not a good trade off.

WW: Who is on your iPod these days?
Rihanna: Well, Bob Marley can always be found on my iPod. These days I have Paramore, Jay-Z and Trey Songz just to name a few ;0)

Following the huge success of Showlight 2001 in Edinburgh, Scotland, plans are already underway to ensure that Showlight 2005, scheduled May 21-24, 2005, in Munich, Germany, will be better than ever.
The social side of Showlight is an equally important aspect giving delegates a chance to network. The 2001 conference dinner ended with a Scottish pipe band marching in the moonlight at Hopetoun House.
Taking place once every four years, Showlight is a three-day event organized by lighting professionals for lighting professionals. The colloquium, unlike other trade shows, places emphasis on debate stimulated by papers from respected industry experts and provides a gathering ground for like-minded people. Showlight 2001 proved to be the most successful show yet, with 42 sponsors and more than three hundred delegates from the world of entertainment lighting in attendance.
John Watt, chairman of Showlight's organizing committee, explains: "Showlight 2005 is being held at the magnificent Prinzregententheater in Munich. Their patronage and that of the associated Bayerische Theaterakademie plus the enthusiasm of the students there, make this the venue of choice for us. Students from the Theaterakademie who attended the Edinburgh event explained to us how invaluable the three days had been for them, both in terms of what they had learnt and the opportunity given to network with professionals in the industry. It's always great to receive such positive feedback, but to be offered the chance to host the next show at such a great venue is fantastic. Munich is also home to a number of lighting companies including ARRI and transtechnik Lichtsysteme which is now part of ETC, who have generously provided the 'seed' money to ensure the continuation of Showlight."
Martemaria Scheunemann, who runs the theatre lighting courses at the Bayerische Theaterakademie, has joined the Showlight committee and will help organize the German elements both before and during the 2005 show. As the event was filled to capacity in 2001, anyone interested in attending or exhibiting at Showlight in 2005 is encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. For more information, or to register your interest, simply contact Sheila Bartholomew on +44 (0) 1323 418 400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Citadel Fund Carries Novel High-Water Mark
CORRECTION: A June 10 article, "Citadel Fund Carries Novel High-Water Mark," incorrectly reported the liquidity terms for Citadel Investment's two main funds, Kensington Global Strategies and Wellington. Citadel offers two options. One permits investors to redeem any amount of capital once every two years with 90 days' notice, and to withdraw profits annually. The second option allows quarterly redemptions with 45 days' notice, so long as total redemptions from the fund don't exceed 3% of assets. If the 3% threshold is reached, investors can redeem no more than one-sixteenth of their money at a time. If they wish to withdraw more than one-sixteenth, then they face a 5-9% penalty. The liquidity terms will go back into effect once Citadel lifts its suspension on redemptions from the two funds.
Citadel Investment, whose multi-strategy funds remain underwater after falling 55% last year, is about to launch a single-strategy fund with an unusual high-water-mark provision.
Ken Griffin's $11 billion hedge fund firm has begun pitching a long/short equities vehicle it plans to launch next month. According to a marketing document, Citadel Global Equities Fund will charge a 2.5% management fee and 25% performance fee.
If the new fund falls below its high-water mark, it will still charge a performance fee, albeit at a reduced rate of 12.5%. The lower rate will remain in effect until the fund has earned back 250% of the drawdown. If the fund were to lose 20%, for example, it would have to gain 63% before it could resume charging the full 25% performance fee.
Citadel's two main vehicles, the multi-strategy Kensington Global Strategies and Wellington funds, charge no performance fees if assets drop below the high-water mark. In the wake of last year's losses, the funds faced a 122% climb before they could resume charging a 20% performance fee. They are up 21% so far this year. The two funds have a combined $8 billion under management.
Citadel plans to pitch the new fund at a Goldman Sachs capital-introduction event next week in New York. Citadel is launching the fund now because equities have been a strong driver of recent gains in its multi-strategy funds, and investors have expressed interest in a single-strategy vehicle targeting stocks.
The new fund would offer monthly liquidity with no lockup period. Investors would be allowed to redeem up to 16.7% of their shares each month with 45 days' notice. They would thus be able to withdraw 100% of their investments after six months.
Citadel suspended redemptions from Kensington and Wellington last year, although the firm may begin honoring withdrawal requests in the third quarter. Once the current redemption orders have been satisfied, the funds are expected to return to their previous liquidity terms, which offer investors two options. One requires a two-year notice for withdrawals. The other allows investors to withdraw up to one-sixteenth of their money every month, so long as total redemptions from the fund don't exceed 3% per month. If the 3% threshold is reached, investors must pay a fee to withdraw.
In preparation for the new fund, Citadel has reorganized the team that manages equities for Kensington and Wellington. The group includes 11 portfolio managers, 30 analysts, nine senior associates, 16 associates and eight senior traders.
Brandon Haley, Jeff Runnfeldt and Steve Weller will serve as managers for the new fund. Haley will be based in New York, Weller in Chicago and Runnfeldt in San Francisco. Jonathan Ledden will serve as the fund's chief operating officer.

Katherine Heigl and Will Arnett Premiere "The Nut Job" in L.A.
Stepping out to premiere their newest family flick, Katherine Heigl and Will Arnett promoted "The Nut Job" at the Regal Cinemas L.A. Live on Saturday (January 11).
The "Knocked Up" star looked adorable in a short pink dress with black trim and a matching black cardigan while her co-star went casual in a blue button-down, denim jacket, and black pants.
In the animated movie, a curmudgeonly squirrel is banished from his park and forced to survive in the city. Luckily, he happens to find some hope in the form of Maury's Nut Store.
Opening on January 17th, the film also stars Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson, Maya Rudolph, and Jeff Dunham.

Top 1-year CD Rate at Central Missouri Community Credit Union - Local Only
Update 11/2/2012: The 1-year CD rate has fallen.
Central Missouri Community Credit Union is offering a very competitive 1-year CD and IRA CD. It has a 1.51% APY, and the minimum deposit is $1,000. This rate is listed in the credit union's share certificates page as of 10/18/2012. This appears to be a new CD special. The 12-month CD rate just recently had a big increase. The credit union's rate table has a date of 10/12/2012.
Unfortunately, not many are eligible for this offer. Membership in the credit union is primarily limited to those who live or work in part of central Missouri (Johnson, Pettis, Ray, Carroll, Lafayette, and Henry counties and the city of Excelsior Springs). Please refer to the credit union's Who Can Join page for more details.
The credit union has branches in the Missouri cities of Warrensburg, Sedalia and Richmond.
It has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 5 stars (out of 5) with a Texas ratio of 5.13% (excellent) based on June 2012 data. Please refer to our Central Missouri Community Credit Union for more details. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 60383).
How This CD Rate Compares
The highest 1-year CD rate that's nationally available is 1.11% APY at AloStar Bank of Commerce. Close behind is CIT Bank and Bank of Internet USA which both offer 1.10% APY. CIT Bank's 1-year CD is actually the best deal since it allows an add-on deposit and a bump-up in rate. The only downside is a $25K minimum deposit. These rates are accurate as of 10/18/2012.

Samsung is rumoured to be working on a tablet that features a 12.2-inch display, according to leaked specs that have emerged online.
The device, which will push the boundaries of what has been seen from tablets in the past, is also said to include the Korean firm's S Pen stylus, an innovation which proved effective on the range of Galaxy Note smartphones.
Further information about the device points towards it making use of Samsung's recently-announced Exynos 4 Octa chip, an eight-core monster that pushes processing power even further than that seen on the Galaxy S4.
While there are no details about which platform the tablet will run, it is likely to feature Android 4.3 with Samsung's excellent user interface skinned on top.

|Chairman's Speech (Jindal Steel & Power)
|Year : Mar '13
Dear Shareholders, The aspirations of a growing India have not been impacted by economic roadblocks. In a participatory democracy, each and every person across the social pyramid can aspire for a better quality of life, and the I nation is committed to i make those aspirations a palpable reality. As more than a billion people move ahead in unison, JSPL believes in the strength of their aspirations and focuses its efforts to help accelerate sustainable socio-economic growth. We are aware ofthe challenges ahead, but our conviction in the nation''s long-term potential continues to be strong. The global economic landscape during FY 2013 did not demonstrate any uniform pattern. According to the IMF, the world witnessed a three-speed economic recovery in FY 2013. While Europe languished under the burden of escalating debt and fiscal imbalances, the US economy continued to show signs of encouraging growth on all vital macroeconomic parameters. The developing economies represent another side ofthe spectrum. They were resilient to global headwinds and continued to grow during the year, even though moderately. China is still ahead ofthe race, followed by India and other BRICS nations. India''s economic growth rate is still more than most parts ofthe world, and it has been achieved in an environment of persistent global economic volatilities. This is a commendable effort, although there is no room for complacency and efforts must be initiated to accelerate momentum in the core sectors ofthe economy, which will pave the way for tertiary sector growth. The steel sector has an important correlation with national prosperity. The demand for steel will continue to grow as economic growth touches the lives of millions of people across India. Our country''s total capacity is now 90 million tonnes and the production offinished steel is about 78 million tonnes. Steel demand is expected to increase by 8-9% annually in the years to come. I believe, by 2020, India''s cumulative steel demand will be in excess of 130 million tonnes. The above factors justify our reasons for capacity expansion and the introduction ofvalue-added products in our portfolio. Our proactive backward integration into coal and iron ore, and forward integration into value-added products like beams, rails, plates, rebars and wire rods, among others have propelled our business growth. The result is that from being a Rs. 450-plus crore enterprise in 2001, we have now emerged as a Rs. 20,000-crore Company. At JSPL, we have ambitious plans for the future. We plan to enhance steel production to 15 MTPA (from 3 MTPA) and power generation capacityto 10,000 MW (from around 2,500 MW) by 2020. This would be backed by our own coal and iron ore mines nationally and internationally. We are vigorously implementing our ''Vision 2020'' and foresee five times growth in terms of revenue and capacity. Operational efficiency will also continue to be high on the list of priorities. Moreover, we entered the retail market with TMT Rebars with the brand name Jindal Panther, envisioning huge opportunity in this segment. JSPL''s achievement is the triumph of our dedicated professionals, who remain our most valuable assets. We are initiating various programmes to enhance their skills and expertise. We have also created a culture of strong ethics and transparency in the organisation. This is a part of our heritage as an 0. P. Jindal Group Company. At JSPL, business initiatives and community efforts move ahead in perfect harmony. We drive multiple community initiatives, focusing on education, agriculture, animal husbandry, water resource management, infrastructure development, on-farm and off-farm livelihood enhancement, health and familywelfare, and women empowerment. We are a young Company and we are partnering the dynamism ofa young India, where more than half ofthe population is below the age of30. At JSPL, we will continue to focus on efforts to leverage the tremendous potential of our country''s youth brigade and help create adequate support infrastructure. Our green strategy will also play a key role in every aspect of value creation. On behalfofthe Board ofDirectors and the entire leadership team at JSPL, I want to thank our shareholders, customers, business associates and the wide fraternity of stakeholders for keeping faith in our ability to create value even in challenging times. Naveen Jindal Chairman

I am reposting the review that I had written for the same product available in the pack of 18 shades, submitted on webpage of the same product on flipkart website.
In that price range, these are the one of the best brand of student grade water colors available. The plastic tubes are seal packed and easy to squeeze. So the colors are fresh when poured into a palette and the paint remains moist for a long time.
The light-fastness of these colors is striking! They spread evenly and mix well. The transparency is superb.
I would totally recommend these for beginners and hobby artists.... (Expand)

PWG European Vacation II Night 2: England Live Report
Posted by
Theo Fraser
on 10.28.2007
A live report of PWG's adventure to England!
Saturday 27th October
PWG European Vacation II Night 2: England
Bell time: 7pm
Crowd estimate: 250
Joey Ryan defeated Spud
with a Superkick in a fun little opener. Lots of comedy at the beginning, with Ryan jawing with some ringside fans, and back-and-forth mocking between the two competitors. The on-going 'story' of the match was Spud trying to lift Joey with a bodyslam, but failing each time, until he finally managed to do it late in the match, only for Joey Ryan to come back with a combo of a running knee and the superkick to end things. Good choice for an opener, really got the crowd into the action. **1/2
Zebra Kid defeated Austin Aries
with a top rope elbow drop TO THE FACE. Zebra Kid's a pretty well known UK wrestler, but still this had to be considered a big upset. Really solid match, including a great brawl around the ringside area. Fast-paced, both guys were quite snug with each other, and the crowd were split almost down the middle, creating a terrific atmosphere. Finish came when Aries attempted a top rope brainbuster, only for Zebra to push him off and connect with a sick-looking top rope elbow drop straight to the face. Both men shook hands after the match, and received a standing ovation. ***1/2
The Kartel (Sha Samuels & Terry Frazier) defeated The Hated Heroes (Aviv Maayan & LT Summers)
with a flash roll up. Maayan was out first, and revealed that due to Jack Evans missing his flight, the card had been slightly reshuffled, with Human Tornado (who would have been Maayan's partner here) facing PAC later on in the evening. As such, he revealed his new partner, "the most death-defying high flyer in the world"...LT Summers. Obviously, that was a joke, as Summers is a big guy with a stocky build. Summers came out and played up to the 'high-flying' joke, doing a forward roll in the ring, and "leaping" off the bottom rope. As for the match itself, it was plagued by Terry Frazier's injury in the opening minutes, as he landed awkwardly off of a missed top rope knee drop and clearly screwed his leg up badly. Samuels carried out the rest of the match, but bonus points to Frazier for gutting it out on the apron, as his knee was visbly swollen and probably needed some medical attention. Unfortunately, what we got match-wise was less than stellar and didn't really engage the crowd. Summers was hilarious, jawing with fans and his opponents, but apart from that, not great. *
PWG World Championship match: Bryan Danielson defeated Martin Stone
with the Cattle Mutilation. Solid match, albeit a bit unspectacular. In fairness, it seemed like Danielson tweaked his neck early on, as he was visibly in pain and was later spotted holding an ice pack to said area, but it didn't seem to be anything serious. Crowd were slow to get into things, although both men had a nice exchange of mat wrestling holds. Danielson kicked up the pace when Stone went to the outside, launching himself over the top rope in his trademark dive into the crowd. Back in the ring, Stone got some good offense in, and then we went to a HOT finish, with Danielson busting out an awesome LEG LARIAT (seemingly new to his repetoire), before trapping Stone's arms and delivering some VICIOUS stomps to the face, prior to locking in the Cattle Mutilation for the submission victory. ***
IPW:UK title match: Andy Boy Simmonz defeated James Tighe
to retain. Simmonz was of course last seen being mutilated by Umaga two weeks ago on Raw. I wasn't all that familiar with either guy, but I was suitably impressed, and the match seemed to do its job, which of course was to get the crowd back into the action. Match was wrestled evenly, with both guys getting an equal amount of offense in. Nice slugfest at one point, exchanging about 15 forearms to the face in quick succession. Finish came when Simmonz hit some kind of bridging pin. Not bad at all. **1/2
Human Tornado defeated PAC
in an excellent battle of the high flyers. Both men were just 'on' in this match, and everything seemed very crisp. Started out with trademark Tornado comedy, as Tornado kept trying to start a dance off, but PAC was having none of it. Once the action got serious, things really heated up. Of course, we were treated to THE INDY STANDOFF! But it was actually very slick and worked well. Both guys hit their usual flips and dives to the outside, including PAC's impressive corkscrew shooting star press from the top rope to the floor. The pace never let up, and the moves kept getting bigger and bigger. Eventually, PAC knocked Tornado's feet off the top rope, but H-Tizzle has BALLS OF STEEL so it was ineffective! Tornado capitalised, hitting a Tornado DDT from the top rope, finishing him off with a Dat Ni*** Dead for the 3 count. Great stuff, quite short, but exhilarating from start to finish. ***3/4
PWG World Tag Team Championship match: Super Dragon & Davey Richards defeated El Generico & Kevin Steen (c) to become the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
in a phenomenal match. The action was just off the charts here, although I guess that could almost be expected with these four guys. Awesome atmosphere, simply because the heel/face dynamic was so strong. Steen was mega-over, with massive "MR WRESTLING" chants prior to the match. Before the bell, we were treated to some brilliant Super Dragon antics. A little girl in the front row was celebrating her tenth birthday, and had a sign saying "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY" on it. Super Dragon came over, took the sign from her and ripped it to shreds, with Davey kicking the pieces around the ring. Dragon went over to the merchandise stand and grabbed a t-shirt, and for a moment it looked like he was going to give it to the girl as a peace offering, but as she reached out to take it, he snatched it away. OOOH, HEEL!!!
As for the in-ring action, it was hard to keep up! Things broke down pretty quickly, and all four guys brawled all over the sports hall. Steen threw Richards on the benched seating where I was, and proceeded to beat him up right in front of me. Super Dragon and El Generico traded blows by the merchandise table, including some nasty bumps on top of the table. In another classic Super Dragon moment, some fan had been ripping on him the whole time he'd been out there, so he grabbed El Generico, sat him on top of the fan, and then proceeded to hit a spinning wheel kick, which naturally took out the Generic Luchadore, but also knocked the fan over in his chair! Tremendous!
Long heat sequence on Generico, before he finally got the hot tag to Steen, and the place exploded. The extended finishing sequence was a thing of beauty, with so many high spots. Generico hit his through-the-ropes-tornado-DDT on Super Dragon, which was executed perfectly. Dragon & Richards looked to have it won at one point, after a combination of a massive sunset bomb on Steen, followed by the Psycho Driver AND a standing SSP from Richards, but Generico made a split-second save at the last moment. Dragon snapped, shoved Generico to the outside and then damn near snapped him in half with a Psycho Driver on the wooden floor, whilst Davey Richards simultaneously hit the Shooting Star Press on Steen to pick up the win, thus making Richards and Dragon two-time PWG World Tag Team Champions. Rating-wise, this is easily ****1/2 and has got to be considered a MOTYC, and not just in PWG. Insane action coupled with the strong heel/face dynamic, which thus contributed to an extremely hot crowd, makes this a match PWG fans will want to go out of their way to see.
After the match, once the new champions had left the ringside area, Steen got on the mic and put over the crowd, talking about the success of the European tour. However, he also had something very important to say. Whilst Generico may be busy with Danielson tomorrow in Germany challenging for the World Title, Steen wanted a rematch for the tag titles! He said he would find a suitable replacement as a tag partner, and if he did not win the titles back tomorrow night, "well, I'm not sure when you guys will see Kevin Steen in PWG again!" Looks like the pressure is certainly on!
Show ended at 10pm on the dot, giving us a full 3 hour show. Whilst overall it wasn't a blowaway card, the main event makes this a must buy. Plus, the Tornado-PAC and Aries-Zebra Kid matches are both very worth your time, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all translates to DVD. PWG, come back to England soon!

"The one thing that is clear – they are not as close as people have tried to make it seem," the GM told PFW. "They are a one-dimensional offensive team that if the quarterback (Matthew Stafford) is not on, people are figuring it out. If you take (WR Calvin) Johnson out of the game (one TD through four games, compared to eight TDs at the same stage last season), who else do they have that can beat you? "They are not a team that I think is ready. If I am going there to take over the job, I am not thinking that is a quick fix."
This type of article led me to some random thoughts....
I find it humorous and short sighted that some believe we need to rehash or start up a discussion about the demise of the Detroit Lions..... 4 games into the season. It feels like some race to the negativity, just so they can position themselves on top of the "I told you so" podium. Guess what... it doesn't take a genius to know the odds are always against the Detroit Lions (as with 90% of the NFL).
With regards to the D-Line and defense... these kids are young, rich, high draft picks. They have all the talent in the world, but also have all the money they can ever want... There will be a point when the light bulb goes on, their "A" type personality kicks in, and they want to be a NFL champion. To add, they have had 2 full seasons and only 1 full offseason with each other... not an excuse, just a fact. The great defenses of the past didn't get great over night... they had 2-3 years of continuity to build/create... The Lions are just starting.
Who ever this GM is... if he is even still active in the NFL or not... is a flat out douche bag. Over rated? Hmmm.... let's take a look at that... 1. like one comment below this story... Mayhew and Schwartz took an 0-16 team to the playoffs in 3 seasons. 2. After making the playoffs, EVERY commentator has predicted the Lions miss this year's. 3. Suh had a hell of a Rookie year... decent year last year, though not as good... and has started this season under performing... EVERY commentator will tell you that. 4. the whole D-line is over rated???? STFU. Most teams would kill for this group of talent. On paper they look good. On the field they haven't looked so good... You want to talk about over rated, look at the NY Jets and leave Detroit alone.
And for my last random thought... This season, the lousy start, is an important and necessary step for the progression of this team. They took a big step last year, but they have still not won 'the big game'.... they may have led in comebacks last year... but can they comeback from a win/loss deficit?... I'm looking forward as a fan to how the Lions come out of the bye week and respond to the pressures of being down early. Young team, Young Coach.... it's time for them to grow up.
