Find Blue Seduction By Antonio Banderas For at Amazon
Classifications of Men and Their Skills With Women.
Though It goes without saying that there's a wide spectrum in amongst all of these and no one (except for omega males) perfectly fits into a peculiar category.
However, I think if you test these ideas out and keep them in mind, you'll find them to be rather precise and useful. Try These and see what you find.
That said, let's get on with it…
The Player.
This is a guy who has figured out a few tricks that support him attract and sleep with women. However, he sees women as objects, tools for his own masturbation, not as real persons with actual feelings.
The up side is that players may be very social and charming and even fun to be around, so they are difficult to detect.
He may have been a nice guy in the past but has been burned so much that he went way over to the opposite extreme and stopped caring.
He now devotes his social time to using women for sex and bragging regarding it crassly.
Players may have a solid aroused presence but they lack the capacity for long term committment (i.e. consistent sex).
Players are secretly scared of death, though the topic is seldom even brought up by them because they're busy thinking in regards to who they will manipulate next.
Players specifically do not intention to improve themselves beyond figuring out tricks to sleep with women through their own trial and error.
Players don't want relationships but this is often because they lack the integrity to be competent to.
The Pimp.
Skilled at surrounding himself with women and dominating them, but altogether lacks the ethics to make his attempts last or to have women permanently respect him. Ultimately his conquests come to an end due to the women at long last mustering up the courage to leave together, and he's back to searching the streets for more prey. Committment or even decent friendships are difficult if not out of the question for such a person (with the exception, perhaps, of a few legendary pimps such as those seen in the famous documentary… however, none of that is utile to you who is reading this because you'll never become that. It's just not you and getting caught and going to jail in all likelihood sucks…..)
The Pick Up Artist (Or "PUA" or "Seduction Artist")
This one is tricky because there are decent guys in the seduction community who are innocently just attempting to improve their dating lives and themselves in general.
However, the pua community is basically the McDonald's of self-improvement. It's cheap, it's quick, it gets the occupation done, but it is unsustainable both as a modus vivendi and a skillset. (liability replacement: it's not for everyone).
Men… never forget that it is still YOU who drives your own success. Educational materials, coaches, and experience guides are just tools in your toolbelt. It's still up to you to choose the most effective one for the job, and you damn well better have a keen eye if you are to crank up your own success up to it is greatest or most complete or best possible potential heights.
Still, by and large, a pick up artisan is kind of like a player but arguably worse because he ACTIVELY tries to seduce women and relentlessly tests ways of figuring out how to get around a woman's boundaries so that she'll sleep with him. He then makes a mental note of his conquest and spreads his conclusions throughout the internet onto respective seduction forums, unbeknownst to his women.
The tricks he learns are not by accident. They are by pathologically obsessive exercise with the ONLY goal being to sleep with women and not one thing else.
In fact, not similar to the player (who has a lot of charm due to trial and error), much of the beautiful and charming calibers of a pickup artisan are all an intricately constructed sham, a persona.
Pickup artists due intent to improve themselves but a good deal of of them are misguided in the resources they employ to do so. At best these are men who are genuinely decent and plainly wear the "PUA" banner. At worst, they take on a cult-like religious obsession with pick up material and refuse to listen to any other form of dating counsel from any person outside of the queer seduction coach they worship.
Just remember, guys, "good" is oftentimes the worst enemy of "great"…..
Some pick up artists are ethical, a lot of are not. Some are finish sleazeballs with a cautiously crafted persona designed to fool those around them.
The main facillitator of this semi-effective (but to a considerable degree flawed) cultural trend is a very tall stage magician (literally) who runs around in amusive hats attempting to train his students to be just like him (rather than being themselves). His accomplishments are for the most part due to his personality type more so thaun what he teaches.
Completely lacks any dependable understanding of humane psychology beyond a very skewed model of humane attraction.
If you are a woman and find yourself saying "no" to a pick up artisan when things are getting intimate, prepare to be in for further manipulation tactics such as a "freeze out" where he walks off and ignores you untill you come back, or his next slew of lines designed to get around your defenses and not respecting your wishes.
I'm not saying it doesn't work. Many guys in this niche of dating counsel do assert much progression in the ways of seduction. However, if the counsel taught comes at the cost of honestness or ethics, then the effects are short lived or there is (at best) a ceiling to how well they work. Ask anybody who has moved onto a happy, steady monogamous relationship. They normally drop much of what they learned because it wasn't necessary.
Some pickup artists are just wussy guys with tricks up their sleeve, and feel a sense of entitlement toward women.
Others are alpha males who have become even less scrupulous due to learning new gimmicks.
Sexually Amazing, Intelligent, Mature Women who make for awful girlfriends seldom fall for pua tricks, and if they do, they figure out they've been scammed and never call the pua back.
The Wussy (Also known as a narcissist, or a boy in a man's body, or the "whimpster").
Similar to a beta male, nonetheless the wussy is even worse because he engages in manipulative behavings that seem nice and innocent on the surface. Worse still, he may not even be conscious of his own wrongdoing in his quest to win your affection.
The wussy will undertake to buy attraction through extraordinary acts of generosity, unusually high kindness, extravagant gives and endless attention.
This is the guy who left roses at the locker of his high school crush even altho he never had the balls to eve say "hi" to her first.
Sometimes they may be sweet and charming in the beginning, but may hide mystery sensations of resentment, hurt, anger, or anxiety around women.
In the worst of cases, wussy may turn into stalkers, so watch out.

Michael Flatley
The Alpha Male (Also known as "The Bad Boy")
This is your jock. Your mountain climber. Your lumberjack. Your Fighter. Your Cage Fighter. Your Biker. Your Rock Star. Your European Adulterer. The Club Thumper.
He comes in some external forms, but deep down his core traits are the same:
He is irresistibly manly and exceedingly sexually attractive. He plays by his own rules and doesn't care. He's on his own path. He's tough on the inside and out. Great at fighting (or at least starting fights), and outstanding at sex.
His flirting and sexual attraction accomplishments are fantastic, and he feels very powerful, dominant, dangerous-yet-safe, and enticing to be around.
However, his volatile nature likewise means he could be an abusive jerk (sometimes this is true, from time to time not, so be aware).
Often times lacks ethics, which means he'll do ANYTHING (even injure people without caring) in order to get women. Lies are his modus operandi, and anything is reasonable game no matter whose hearts get broken.
Because of this his attempts at conquest never lead to a kinship (unless the girl in question has low self esteem), and fights with his woman (or women) ensue…. if he even sticks around at all.
An alpha male has zero potential for a long term relationship, or even a friendship. After he has sex with the woman he sets his eyes on, he's gone, never to return.
Many alpha males never intention to improve themselves and they don't care to. Other potentially destructive behavings may develop, including drug use, drinking, cheating, and jail time.
Popular Examples (Just to name a few):
King Kong
Unfaithful Film Character (Olivier Martinez)
Any action film villian
The Beta Male (Also known as the "Nice Guy").
Consistently the victim of the dreaded "let's just be friends" speech, the beta male is normally a decent person. He's friendly, nice, trustworthy, and would never injure a woman regardless. Because of these positive calibers he likely makes friends with women and people in general reasonably easily.
He likewise may have a steady career with a decent income, but he lacks a sense of a deeper mission or aim for his life which makes him less attractive…. as if "something is missing".
Sexually he may have a few kinks but overall he's reasonably boring, and as a person he's stable yet predictable and therefore a kinship with him will grow stale overtime.
The downside is he often gives a bit TOO much without asking for anything in return and in all likelihood doesn't stick up for himself enough. Tends to get too with regard to emotions attached to women too quickly but doesn't have the sexual attraction attainments to elicit her desires, so he gets the friend zone.
If he ever does get a date, it is with a girl who is way underneath his worth because he believes he may do no better, or with a beauteous girl who is plainly desperate to find someone "stable" (i.e. she's tired of dating jerks and decides to tolerate boredom over abuse).
Most beta males do not aim to improve themselves or do not recognise how. Some beta males are very cynical and have a "poor me" attitude.
Beta males are affrighted of death deep down even if they outwardly say they are not.
Popular Examples (Just to name a few):
Bright Eyes Lead Singer
Lloyd Dobbler (Old John Cusack Character)
The Omega Male (Also known as A "Real Man" and "A Gentleman with an Edge").
The best mixture of a sex god, a badass, a authenti friend, and impeccable integrity and morals. This is the man who has all of the badassery of an alpha male, and all of the positive friendly traits of a beta male, but with NONE of the negative side effects of either.
This is the most eminent state of development a man may acheive in his life.
Omega males are tough, strong-minded, genuine, honest, kind, ethical, wise, practical, self-aware, responsible, wild, passionate, and fabulously good at sex, flirting, and social skills.
Omega Males are unusually rare due to the amount of work and effort it takes to become one, omega males are what all women in the end seek to be with.
Only a ridiculous woman would cheat on or leave an omega male, and even then this seldom happens because the Omega Male knows how to choose the right girlfriend (or wife) within minutes of meeting her.
Those who scoff at this notion or doubt it only do so because they've never experienced it.
Omega Males are not perfective (because perfection is impossible), but they ARE utterly awesome.
Due to their achievements they are capable of having any kind of relationships with women they want with zero drama, and women be grateful for them, love them, and lust for them GREATLY.
Omega Males have a STRONG sense of their mission in life, their reason for existing, are not affrighted of death, Omega Males are on a never ending path to become better men, and they improve their accomplishments in all distinct features of life daily.
For women, an experience with an omega male is many times an unforgettable one.

I have not grown tired of the fragrance at all. I love when we go out and I have the confidence that he is the best smelling man in the room. It is definitely not overpowering, yet is enough that you can actually smell it when you come near him. It is a really pleasant fragrance.
I would definitely recommend this for all men. I love the product and will be buying it again and again for my husband.

This is the second post using Rally's WAR database to quantify the best Mariners of all time. The first post looked at Mariners catchers. This one will focus on Mariners 1B.
Doing this for catchers was particularly simple for one reason. A player who played catcher tended to only play catcher. Once I moved on to looking at firstbasemen I had to decide how to deal with players who only played 1B occasionally or even just a few times. I decided to set a minimum of 30 games played at first base as a mariner as my cutoff. Its pretty low but actually worked pretty well. There were still tons of players who only occasionally played 1B or only played 1B for a couple of seasons. In order to account for this I looked up how many games the player has played at 1B vs how many games he had played elsewhere and only gave him credit for the fraction of games he played at 1B. Therefore if a player earned 10 WAR over his career and played 25% of his games at 1B he was credited with 2.5 1B weighted WAR. This might have its drawbacks but its simple to do and for most players I feel like it should even out. I also decided to do my WAR rate stat on the basis of PA since it is simple and straightforward even though defense is weighted per inning and it really just doesn't matter if I try more complicated stuff.
This first chart has all of the data for all the M's 1B for their WAR totals over their whole career. Olerud is clearly leading the pack and its not even close.
This second chart has all the information for the players while they were Mariners. Olerud is still in the lead with the highest raw WAR totals as well as highest WAR/PA numbers as a firstbaseman. Alvin Davis has a slightly higher total WAR total and higher peak year total but played far less at 1B than Olerud did. Tino Martinez, Bruce Bochte and Richie Sexson sort of round out the top 1B of the Mariners history however there is a large gap between these three and Olerud and Davis and a small gap between the rest of the pack below them.
The bottom of the list is dominated by some truly horrible performances by Dan Meyers and Pete O'Brien. Not only were these guys bad but they got lots of at bats somehow. Dan Meyers somehow had a season worth -3.2 WAR! This has to be one of the worst performances ever. Below average defense plus 477 PA of 227/264/327 is absolutely pathetic from 1B. (Oh my god, I just looked and the DH in 1978 did worse than this.) Bryan Lahair and Ben Broussard (sorry Jeff) are also near the bottom of the list.
Overall the Mariners 1B have produced ~50 WAR over the entire franchise's history which is worth about 1.5 WAR per season which is decent enough. Olerud and Davis represent about 60% of the overall franchise production from this position. I was surprised to see Olerud so high and had forgotten Davis had such a productive career. I don't know why but I thought Tino might be a little bit higher up on this list.
Best M's 1B of All Time: John Olerud
Worst M's 1B of All Time: Dan Meyers

Turbines to start turning at Wear Point Wind Farm this week
11:16am Tuesday 13th May 2014 in News
THE blades of Wear Point Wind Farm are set to start turning as commissioning of the four wind turbines begins today.
Four 100m turbines were installed in autumn last year at the SemLogistics oil storage facility on the Milford Haven waterway near Waterston.
The company behind the scheme said the project ran into significant delay due to issues regarding its connection to the local distribution network.
Over the last couple of months the Wear Point team have been working closely with Western Power distribution to work things out.
Marlies Koutstaal of wind developers Infinergy said: "We are relieved that Wear Point Wind Farm is now finally ready to be commissioned. The turbines are state-of-the-art machines and have been ready to go since they were installed.
"We are pleased to confirm that all issues regarding the grid connection requirements have now been resolved and we are looking forward to Wear Point Wind Farm contributing to home-grown green electricity production very shortly."
Commissioning works will commence today and all four wind turbines are expected to be fully operational by Friday (May 16).
The wind turbines are described as 'state-of-the-art' REpower MM82 machines, the towers of which are supplied by Mabey Bridge's facility in Chepstow.
When fully operational Wear Point Wind Farm is expected to generate the amount of green electricity enough to meet the demand of more than 4,500 average households every year.

Toy Drive
Thank you so much for your interest in serving alongside Giving Children Hope this Christmas! This is an amazing opportunity and we look forward to any and all support you can give to this endeavor. Here are the details:
We send out a Christmas wish list to each of the students on our We've Got Your Back program. They fill it out and return it to GCHope and we make it available to anyone who wants to sponsor a wish list. We expect to have around 1,500 wish lists that will need sponsoring, so please let us know if you would like one.
In addition, we want to give gifts to the siblings of students on our program. Since we won't have wish lists for some of them, we are also accepting donations of toys for all ages. We expect to give around 4,000 presents to vulnerable children in Orange County this year!!!
Finally, with all of these presents to give, we will also need a tremendous amount of help to wrap all these gifts. We have six Wrapping Party dates for you to choose from. Because there is a great deal of interest in these Wrapping Parties, we ask that you limit your attendance to one of these dates. In addition, we are asking all Wrapping Party participants to either 1) sponsor a wish list, 2) donate a toy or 3) make a cash donation to Giving Children Hope.
Here are some important dates to know:
November 1 – Wish lists will be available for sponsorship after this date.
November 30 - All wish list sponsors must return gifts by this date.
December 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 & 12 - Wrapping Party Dates (6pm-9pm)
December 13-20, 2012 - Wrapped gifts to be delivered to students,
prior to their Christmas Break.
**The last school distribution is December 20th, so please get toys to us soon as possible. We will be accepting toys until December 19th.**
If you have additional questions or would like to participate in any of the above ways, please contact Drew Bryson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Check out some pics of last year's wrapping parties!

Possessive nouns are used to show ownership. In other words, possessive nouns indicate that something belongs to someone. Possessive nouns are always placed directly before noun they modify.
Jennifer's coat is beautiful!
Peter's house is on the corner of the next street.
Possessive nouns are often proper names, but can also be objects or ideas:
The book's pages are made of plastic.
The theory's application has been tested in India.
The formation of possessive nouns is sometimes confusing to students. The reason for this is that many languages commonly use 'of' for this construction. While 'of' can sometimes be used in place of possessive nouns, it is not nearly as common in English as in other languages.
The color of his shirt NOT shirt's color
The ball of his dog NOT his dog's ball
In everyday English, however, we generally use possessive nouns rather than this 'of' form.
Possessive Nouns
Possessive nouns modify other nouns to indicate possession.
Peter's motorcycle
The building's structure
Form the possessive noun by placing an apostrophe (') after the noun + s.
Peter -> Peter's motorcycle
building -> building's structure
When nouns end in 's' it can be difficult to know where to place the 's' for the possessive noun. For nouns ending in 's', or to use the possessive noun with regular plurals, place the apostrophe directly after the 's'. Do not add another 's'.
Parents -> parents' concern for their children
Computers -> computers' manufacturer
The placement of the apostrophe in a possessive pronoun indicates whether the possessive noun refers to the singular or the plural form. Notice that this construction can change the meaning from singular to plural.
The cat's favorite food is tuna. (one cat)
The cats' favorite food is tuna. (more than one cat)
Possessive Noun Checklist
- Possessive nouns are used with proper names, objects and ideas
- Place possessive nouns directly before the noun they modify
- Form the possessive noun using an apostrophe before 's' in the singular
- Form plural possessive nouns by placing an apostrophe after 's'
- Note the placement of an apostrophe to check whether the possessive pronoun is singular or plural
Use these resources for more detailed information on other possessive forms:
Possessive Adjectives - For example, our neighborhood, his niece, etc.
Possessive Pronouns - For example, that is mine, this is hers, etc.
This general guide to possessive forms quickly compares all three types of possessive forms.

Richard Stallman announced in September 1983 the plan to develop a free software Unix-like operating system called GNU. GNU is the only operating system developed specifically for the sake of users' freedom.
What is GNU?
GNU is a Unix-like operating system that is free software—it respects your freedom. You can install versions of GNU (more precisely, GNU/Linux systems) which are entirely free software.
The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop the GNU system. The name "GNU" is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix!".
A Unix-like operating system is a software collection of applications, libraries, and developer tools, plus a program to allocate resources and talk to the hardware, known as a kernel.
GNU is typically used with a kernel called Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system. GNU/Linux is used by millions, though many call it "Linux" by mistake.
GNU's own kernel, The Hurd continues to be developed because it is an interesting technical project.
What is Free Software?
"Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer".
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:
- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
- The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
How to pronounce GNU
"GNU" is pronounced g'noo, as one syllable, like saying "grew" but replacing the r with n.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany Technical College Monday dedicated a new center for emergency responders in honor of an Albany doctor who started the first EMT training program at Albany Tech and in the state.
When 350 students return to classes in January, they'll return to the Charles B. Gillespie Center for Emergency Responders. The building is equipped with the latest technology. Dr. Gillespie taught the first EMT course at Albany Tech in 1972.
Monday, he got emotional about the building named in his honor that emergency responders say makes the community safer.
"A dream come true, a big dream come true," said Dr. Charles Gillespie.
"We now have one of the finest training facilities in the state of Georgia and we'll be able to receive better trained people to provide ambulance service to the people of Dougherty County," said Bobby Tripp, Dougherty County EMS Director.
The training center now houses the Fire Science, EMT, Paramedic and Law Enforcement Technology programs.

The Psychology of White Collar Criminals
Toby Groves is a fraudster turned researcher, having served time for mortgage fraud in income tax fraud committed while running Groves Funding Corporation. He was sentenced to two years in federal prison, and it was in prison that he began researching the psychology behind white collar criminals.
Earlier this year, Toby posted a five part article about his research and his findings. You can read the series here: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V. Most interesting to me was that overwhelmingly, the men doing time in prison for financial crimes considered themselves ethical people, and they didn't even consider the possibility of going to prison. (In 2008, I wrote that I didn't think that extended prison sentences for white collar crimes would have a significant deterrent effect. Maybe I was right?)
Mr. Groves is currently working on a documentary called "Viral Ethics," which is scheduled to be released in 2013. I'm looking forward to continued research and blog postings from him.

Thanks for pointing out Mr. Groves research. Lots to think about. In particular, the idea that more and more rules may undercut the ability of a person to make ethical decisions needs more discussion.
As I have gained more experience in looking at ethical failures, whether in context of my CPA work or reading from a distance, it gets more unsettling how easy it is to fall into illegal behavior.
Perhaps a possible motivator is the idea that all of us are only one or two decisions away from jail or betraying our dearest friends.
Mitchell McConnell
The article was interesting, but I am not 100% convinced. Just think about it. If everyone did the right thing, rules wouldn't be necessary. Rules are put in place so that even someone who doesn't instinctively know what to do can follow them. Also, rules provide a good check even for those who do always want to do the right thing.
I am sympathetic to the idea of how someone can get trapped almost before they know it. But I believe a bigger problem is the "not wanting to know" or not wanting to "rock the boat" on the part of middle and upper management.
If a truly open environment is not in place, or if people are punished (even just verbally) for bringing issues to management, they will simply stop bringing them up.
Finally, people are scared because even if one *only* makes a modest salary, the prospect of having to make an ethical decision to (say) resign rather than continuing down the wrong path is substantial. I don't know a way around this, as the evolutionary pressure to support oneself and more importantly, one's family, is immense. I suspect that this latter motive is why most people get trapped.
The article might be biased, I disagree that Chinese think about context and American think about memorization. Anybody who knows Chinese education knows it's the other way around. Chinese-American is not the same as Chinese. The first one gets american education, the second one chinese education. So the article has a flaw. Also I said it might be biased because it claims less regulation is better, we all know that not to be true, because when regulation is not followed or there are no criminal sanctions, just fines which are 10% of the criminal fraud profits it doesnt matter if there is more or less regulations. The problem is there are regulation, but due to the fact that americans dont like to criticize their leaders for fear of their careers, regulation is ignored. Then when it gets discovered the fines or sentences are very small.

I am familiar with this case and I can tell you that it wasn't quite as cut and dry as Toby made it sound. The ethics of this case were not solely on the basis of am I doing something wrong. The real ethics case here is how did Toby hurt the people around him and lay waste to the lively hood of his employees. He was not re-leaved he got caught as he stated in his NPR article.

DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w
4-star: 0
3-star: 0

This was the second handheld GPS I owned. I started…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $275.00
This was the second handheld GPS I owned. I started with the PN-60 and upgraded to the PN-60w so I can use with the Delorme inReach unit. I liked both versions of the GPS and found it very reliable. great for hiking, boating and biking.
- long battery life
- accruate positioning
- good color display
- pairable with inReach or spot
- screen size
- the Delorme rechargeable battery can only be charged when in the GPS
- hard to follow manual makes a longer then normal learning curve for some
- needs bluetooth
This was the second handheld GPS I owned. I started with the PN-60 and upgraded to the PN-60w a year later so I can use with the Delorme inReach unit (three years total). I liked both versions of the GPS and found it very reliable.
I use my PN-60w GPS everywhere even on a recent trip to downtown Chicago to navigate the city streets. The unit is not very good for a driving GPS (screen too small, rerouting when missing a turn is slow, etc) but when simply walking the streets it did very well.
The device was very sturdy and is well built to take the harsh conditions of the outdoors. I have been caught in the storms, dropped them and been in extreme temps with the unit performing with no issues.
The only issues I have had was getting it to sync with the Topo NA 9 and 10 version of the software. I have found that if you have a lot of maps preloaded on the device the sync function will bog down and time out. my work around have been to manually transfer files directly to the SD card when I needed a lot of larger files or limit the amount I keep in the unit to just what I need for a specific trip.
Over all I would highly recommend the Delorme PN-60 series.

Question: Migraines cause death? Do frequent Migraines place me at a high morality risk?
Full Question:
In this morning's local paper I read a
frightening story. A lady from this area suffered from migraine headaches. She
went to the Mayo Clinic to seek help. While there, she died. The cause of death,
according to her obituary: migraine headaches. I have never heard of migraines
being a cause of death. How can this happen? How often does this occur? What can
be done? This is scary stuff! Discussion of pain relief and medications and
triggers . . . thats one thing. But to recognize these headaches can be fatal
is very sobering. I suffer from a form of migraine: chronic daily headaches. I
have been to the Mayo Clinic and as a result I take a lot of pills. I still get
a lot of headaches. Does this place me at a high mortality risk? Should I rush
out and buy more life insurance? Bob.
Dear Bob;
It doesn't happen often enough to be anything to make you run out and buy more life insurance, but yes, Migraine can kill. This is why we advise that Migraineurs call their doctors if they experience symptoms different from their typical Migraine and seek immediate care if they're experiencing "the worst headache of their life." Another time to seek emergency care is if the pain of a Migraine attack lasts more than 72 hours without at least a solid four-hour pain-free period. The pain of a Migraine attack is caused by dilated blood vessels in the brain and inflammation in the surrounding tissues. Extended dilation of those blood vessels increases stroke risk. Most often, Migraine-related deaths are from strokes.
Another reason to contact your doctor because of differing symptoms or the worst ever headache is to be sure it IS Migraine. You need to be sure there isn't something else occurring.
Studies have shown that Migraine disease increases stroke risk, but again, it's not something to panic or obsess about; it's something to be aware of and is another good reason for effective Migraine treatment. The best recommendations are:
- Keep working with your doctor to find an effective preventive regimen to reduce the number and severity of your Migraines.
- Sit down with your doctor and discuss overall stroke risk factors. There are many lifestyle issues that can be addressed to reduce stroke -- nutrition, exercise, not smoking, etc. Address stroke prevention in your overall health regimen, not just your Migraine care.
- If you work with a doctor for a long period of time without making progress, and your regimen isn't being changed, consider consulting a new Migraine specialist. There's a link below to our directory of recommended specialists.
Here's some information to help you learn about stroke and Migraine. After you read it, you might want to stop by our forums and discuss it. There's a link below to the forums.
Migraine and Stroke Risk: The Study Results
Researchers correlated the results of 14 studies on Migraine and stroke, concluding that the risk of stroke is doubled in Migraineurs and multiplied by eight when Migraineurs take the pill.
Pain: NOT To Be Ignored!
"Better safe than sorry," could never be more true. More people died from Migrainous Stroke last year than were murdered by handguns. Don't take chances!
Good luck,
Teri Robert John Claude Krusz

Sandals gives back vacations after Hurricane Sandy
SANDALS Resorts International has announced that it is refunding the portion of their guests' vacation that was disrupted by Hurricane Sandy.
The gesture was made after a number of the all-inclusive chain's resorts suffered damage during the hurricane's passage last week, resulting in the temporary suspension of arrivals to Sandals Grande Riviera in Ocho Rios, the delayed reopening of Beaches Ocho Rios, and widespread landscaping damage in The Bahamas, where the hurricane passed as a category two with wind speeds of over 100 mph.
"When one experiences a storm like this, which causes the kind of damage it has, it limits the guest experience and that is totally unacceptable in our eyes," a news release from the hotel group quoted Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, chairman of Sandals Resorts International.
"We pride ourselves on the high level of investment we make in our resorts to ensure that they're the best around. The most luxurious rooms and suites, the greatest restaurants, bars and cafés and stunning pools and much more, all coupled with nature's finest beaches and gardens," added Stewart, who is also chairman of this newspaper.
"Take the case of Sandals Grande Riviera. We have just invested over US$60 million turning it into the envy of the industry. Within 24 hours, our team has had their ability to provide a high level of service severely impacted, and our loyal guests deserve better. We gave them the choice to remain and enjoy what parts of the resort were unaffected or pick up their vacation in Montego Bay or [Sandals] Whitehouse as well as credit nights. Obviously the storm is no one's fault, but this decision, whilst costly, is absolutely the proper thing to do and our guests appreciate it wholeheartedly. There's no way they should be the ones to lose out, and we're not taking anyone's money if they're not getting what they paid for."
Stewart pointed out that people work long and hard to afford to take vacations, therefore, "when they experience any less than the best, it's just not right, regardless of whether it's an act of nature or not".
Added Stewart: "This gesture simply says: 'We want you to experience the best; sadly we can't offer that now, but enjoy your trip anyway and come and visit again — on us'."
The news release quoted a guest from Texas, USA, as saying, "We were staying at Sandals Grande Riviera and still had four days of our week vacation to go when the storm came in. The resort's team was fantastic at preparing everyone and we were amazed at the professionalism displayed during what must be a stressful time for everyone. Afterwards, we were given the option of staying or continuing our vacation in Montego Bay or Whitehouse in addition to receiving the whole section of our trip back in credit nights. We were astonished at such a gesture, I'm not sure of another company in the world who would offer that."
Stewart also said that while he appreciates that hurricanes are part and parcel of life in the Caribbean, he would like to especially thank the guests, team members and travel partners "for their ongoing patience, understanding and dedication during this difficult period, and we look forward to continuing to offer great services and amenities".

By DAVID DISHNEAUAssociated Press
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - An
Army private charged with sending reams of U.S. secrets to WikiLeaks
claims lengthy delays have violated his right to a speedy trial.
Pfc. Bradley Manning is seeking dismissal of all charges in a motion his lawyer posted on his website Thursday.
It's been two years and
four months since Manning was detained in Iraq for allegedly sending
hundreds of thousands of classified war logs and diplomatic cables to
the anti-secrecy website. His trial is set to begin in February.
Defense attorney David
Coombs says the Military District of Washington commander rubber-stamped
all prosecution requests to delay Manning's arraignment and improperly
excluded other periods from the speedy-trial clock.
Coombs says the delays made a mockery of the requirement that an accused be arraigned within 120 days.

Keep Terrebonne Beautiful, Houma, LA
Keep Terrebonne Beautiful, Our Bayou Inc., the Regional Military Museum and the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government, along with 80 other volunteers, joined forces to pull off the 7th Annual Bayou Dularge Trash Bash. Terrebonne Parish is known for its abundant seafood and recreational fisheries, and, as such, the bayous and lakes are used by residents and visitors alike. Sometimes, trash blows out of boats and off the docks into the waterways, and these organizations take one Saturday a year to launch boats of all kinds out into the bayous and put this trash in its place. The Military Museum even used its Higgins Boat to ferry garbage bags from smaller boats to the big dumpster. Families with children, fisherman, and people from out of town all come together to collect two 30-yard dumpsters of trash in less than four hours. Then we had a meal together cooked by locals and served at a local marina. After our meal, we gave out a lot of great door prizes donated by local businesses. This is a local, grassroots event that has proven very successful, and KTB is very happy to have a small part in it each year by donating gloves and garbage bags.


text: Anybody think we can trade both MB3 and Roy Williams to the Redskins to dump some salary? Think about it, it will give the Redskins starters at running back and wide out. I know inter-division trades are frowned upon, but the McNabb trade didn't bite the Eagles in the butt now did it? Too free up some cap I'd take a 7th round pick for the lot of them. What are your thoughts? I can't imagine being that attached to them. Another possible destinations are STL, Cin, Mia, maybe more. I picked the Redskins given their reputation for overpaying for players.

Back in March, Emma Roberts attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party wearing a royal blue Reem Acra Resort 2010 dress.
She added a beautiful statement necklace, bronze peep-toes and a Chanel clutch to complete her look.
Anna Kendrick opted for a more minimalist look when she wore the turquoise version of this Reem Acra dress to Elle's 17th Annual Women In Hollywood Tribute in LA last month.
She let the dress do all the talking by simply adding Sergio Rossi pumps.
Emma wins for me as I love her necklace, I prefer her hair is style better and I adore the royal blue against her skin-tone, whereas Anna's dress washes her out slightly.

The money was collected at store locations as well as on the food bank's website.
"Excellent gift," said the Food Bank of Northern Indiana's Executive Director Milt Lee. "You know every single dollar goes so far in terms of the buying power we have for all the clients we serve in Saint Joe County and all the other five counties."
The food bank will use this money to buy healthy foods such as meats, fruits and veggies and fresh bread.

I tried to answer this for myself, but I had a really tough time deciding. So I wussed out and left it to all of you to answer. Also, I'm leaving out the Featherweight, Bantamweight, and Flyweight divisions. I honestly didn't believe anyone would have picked either of these. If I'm wrong, my mistake. I just think they still have some growing to do, that's all.
Heavyweight Division - The champ has one title defense under his belt, but might be close to already clearing out his division with a 2nd win over Cain Velasquez. The only exception: Alistair Overeem. Outside of that, the division gets pretty thin pretty fast. Shane Carwin is back, but a win over Roy Nelson won't exactly put him in the front of the contender line. Not to mention he was already battered and bloodied by current champ JDS. Frank Mir always seems to be close to the top, but he's never able to do much once he gets there. Either that or he's simply overmatched. Daniel Cormier could make a big statement with a win over said Mir, but he seems to be more focused on Jon Jones right now. Plus his best buddy Cain could potentially win the title, and where would that leave us? There's always Roy Nelson, but like Carwin he's already been battered by the champ, and he doesn't seem to take the sport seriously enough to make a title run. Big Nog is returning, which is always good news, but we'll see if he can make the long climb back. The good news is he's facing Dave Herman, who has potential but seems to care less than even Roy Nelson. Struve is still young, but I don't see him ready for any top Heavyweights any time soon. Stipe is undefeated, we'll see what he does against Struve. Even with a win he's still a few wins away from a shot. There's also Travis Browne, but I feel the same about him that I do about Stipe. I need to see more. If I'm forgetting anyone that may potentially stand out for a shot, please, call me out.
Light Heavyweight Division - The champ here has three title defenses, soon to be four unless a huge upset occurs. On his way to grabbing the title he took out everyone in front of him, including then prospect Ryan Bader and champion at the time, Shogun. Since winning that title he's taken out Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, and former pal Rashad Evans. Rampage now wants to leave, and Rashad's talked about fighting at 185. Lyoto managed to take a round before getting choked unconsious. So who is left? Well, next is Vitor Belfort, who was simply in the right place at the right time. Dan Henderon is healing up, but I don't know if he can afford to get an older. Chael just moved up, but he has some work to do if he wants to be taken seriously as a legit contender. Forrest has other things on his mind. Bader seems to be a middle of the pack guy, as well as Lil Nog, Kingsbury, and Davis. Yes, Phil Davis. I just need to see more of him before I crown him a future champion. The Goose takes on Shogun in a big fight for the division, which will either basically be Shogun's last chance or it will leave the door open for Shogun Jones 2. Lyoto gave Jones his toughest fight, but after beating Bader he needs another big win before getting another shot. I say Rashad Lyoto 2. Glover could be a potential beast though, but I don't know what he offers Jones that others don't. Current Middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva just moved up, but its just for a quick visit to send Bonnar into retirement.
Middleweight Division - Anderson Silva has ruled this division for 6 years and has even stepped outside the division here and there. Including UFC 153, where he'll step up again and take on Stephan Bonnar. Meanwhile, Chael just left the division after losing to Silva for the 2nd time. He doesn't seem to thrilled with who is left to fight at 185. And after he fights at 205 he may potentially fight GSP at catchweight. So while that goes on, Weidman, Boetsch, Bisping, and Stann are all fighting for a title shot that may not come anytime soon. And I don't have any reason to believe that Silva couldn't dispose any of them with ease. Possibly all back to back. Jake Shields ruled Strikeforce's Middleweight division and wants to attempt to do the same here. A win over Ed Herman puts him in the right direction, but he still has a lot to do. Mark Munoz is out for a year due to injury. Leben returns, which is good news, but he's not anywhere close to a title shot.
Welterweight Division - Like Middleweight, the Welterweight division has been ruled for several years. GSP won the title in 2008 and has held onto it. Next in line is Carlos Condit. A smart fighter, but I don't see him being the one who takes the title from GSP. Nick Diaz is still on suspension, and while I don't particularly like him, I miss him. I wanted him to fight GSP. I wanted GSP to ragdoll Nick like Rory did Nate. Instead he was suspended for a year. I look forward to him coming back. He won't get an immediate shot against GSP, but it would only take a single win to get there. BJ Penn and Hughes are still here, but BJ needs to either retire or drop back down to 155. I don't see Penn being able to do much against Rory, and Hughes hasn't retired. He's just "on the shelf". Speaking of Rory, the guy is possibly the future of the division, though some may argue its Silva. Koscheck is in a rough spot, he's lost two lopsided fights to GSP. Kampann and Hendricks are fighting to possibly determine the next number one contender, but I can't really get excited about either potential fight. And if GSP wins, they might not get a chance anyway. Not if the GSP / Anderson Silva rumors are true. And I hope they are.
Lightweight Division - Champion Ben Henderson has one title defense under his belt. And even though it's a questionable one, he's still the champ. Edgar is gone now, having dropped to more shallow waters at 145. Nate Diaz is next in line, and he's improved a ton in his last two fights. I don't think many expected him to treat Donald Cerrone and Jim Miller the way he did, he dominated those fights. Is he ready for Ben Henderson? Other notables at 155 include Cerrone, who is expected to face Pettis in what should be, at least on paper, awesome. Gray Maynard seems to have better chance of a future shot now that Frankie is gone. He's set to face Joe Lauzon. Melvin Guillard was once on track for a title shot but then went on to lose 3 of 4. The division is littered with guys who were on track, only to stumble. This is due to the depth of the division. To add to it, Diego Sanchez is making his return at 155. Evan Dunham was reeled off two straight wins, and George Sotty must feel like he's on cloud nine. Despite losing two straight, he managed to get a gig coaching The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes.
Again, if I left anyone out, that's my mistake. I just started writing and this is what came up. Luckily we get to enjoy all the divisions, so we will never have to choose. But which is your favorite?

Alarm Chronograph with INDIGLO Backlight
No software geek wants to work in Findlay, Ohio! Why?
OK, you might say, what does this crappy watch do here? But consider this, this was one the first INDIGLO watches at USD 9.99! In 1996 that was a big hit and I still remember the fun I had to play with this watch in my motel room in Findlay. Anybody knows where Findlay is? ;-) The software company I was visiting there was telling me, that the biggest problem for recruiting people was that there was little nightlife and entertainment in Findlay except a Pub named Waldo Pepper. A great pub by the way! Also I found that there were a couple of nice restaurants around Findlay. Of course younger software cracks prefer to big city's lights most likely, especially if they are without a family.
So, buying that watch and playing with it during the commercials on TV does make sense, right? Sorry a dead battery again, but in the mean time we have Eco-Drives with EL Backlight? And that is only 6 years later.
In March 2006 I reshot the pictures, I put in a CR 2016 to quickly check on the display and the EL Backlight, and it seems that this China Made watch is of a good quality. The watch jump started nicely and the EL Backlight lit the display without any dark spots. See the EL Backlight shot please. I am quite impressed with this quality, the Timex purchasing department chose a good manufacturer for their Aqua line of watches back in 1996. The only little defect I noticed was that the lower right (most likely non-functional) rivet (just above the "Co" of the copyright watermark has started to corrode, you can not the white crystals around the rivet. I am not even sure whether the metal has corroded or whether this is simply the glue. Because I think these four rivets on the front are simply stuck into the top of the case for decoration.

A new home for L'ville?
Its about time the Big Televen go to twelve teams. Should Notre Dame not answer the phone (again) Louisville would be a good candidate from a geographical standpoint but bad for the Big East and Kentucky football recruiting. Hopefully, if they go forward it would just look at candidates north of the Mason-Dixon line.

James Arthur is certainly going to have a very merry Christmas after winning the X Factor 2012.
Now, he has recorded an eXtra special Christmas carol for fans which is sure to leave you feeling, erm, festive.
The 24-year old's version of We Wish You a Merry Christmas isn't the cheeriest version of the track we've ever heard, but we're sure James meant well!
James has been a busy boy today after beating Jahmene Douglas to take the X Factor crown last night (Sunday December 9).
After partying with the stars, including I'm a Celebrity's Helen Flanagan and The Hoff (surely a sign of stardom), James was straight into a day of interviews, kicking off with a chat on Daybreak with Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones.
He said: "It hasn't sunk in yet... I was very overwhelmed and I think that's why my reaction was so still. I couldn't quite believe it. I actually thought they said Jahmene!"
James added: "The statistics about people winning the X Factor I am not going to take much notice of. I'm not going to do much waiting around - I've got a lot of material ready to go now and as soon as I can get in the studio I will get my stuff out and it will be all of my own material."
For now, James' winner's single, Impossible, is available to download on iTunes.
100 per cent of the profits from the track will go to Together for Short Lives, the UK's leading charity for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions and those who care for and support them.

Silence as a Teaching Tool
As a teacher, you want to share everything you know about yoga with your students. But when you talk too much during class, you run the risk of ruining your students' opportunity for stillness and introspection.
Sometimes the best way to help deepen your students' practice is to hold your tongue, and let your students learn from the quiet.
"I use silence as a way to let the students go in and experience," says Yoga Alliance president Rama Berch. "If I keep talking, they'll think the pose is about the anatomical details. But if I give them that choreographed moment of silence, they have an opportunity to experience what yoga is really about."
Cyndi Lee, who founded the OM Yoga Center in New York City, agrees. "When people come to [do] yoga, they come to empty," she says. "If the teacher is filling up too much space with talking, too much music, or too many stimuli, it makes it difficult for people to empty."
But using silence to enhance your students' practice can be harder than it appears—especially for the inexperienced teacher who isn't totally at ease in front of a class yet. How can you avoid the trap of nervous chatter?
Be Your Own Editor
Once you've noticed your own tendency to talk, observe when your words begin to be distracting.
Some inexperienced teachers find that they talk unnecessarily because they are uncomfortable with silence.
"As a teacher, you have to look at why you are talking," says Senior Advanced Iyengar teacher Joan White. "Do you really have something to say? Or are you just talking to hear yourself talk?"
Another common mistake teachers make is babbling when they can't find the words to describe an action or principle. To avoid this, it's helpful to have a detailed lesson plan and follow it. Knowing exactly what you want your students to feel at any given point in the class makes it easier to plan your language so it's as concise and understandable as possible.
When you notice you've gone off on a tangent, stop, take a deep breath, and refocus, says Berch.
A Time for Quiet and a Time for Talk
One way to avoid unnecessary chatter is to structure your classes so that silence comes naturally. When it's introduced in the appropriate spot, it won't feel strange or intimidating.
There are obvious places in a class to incorporate silence. "Sometimes after a very vigorous sequence, students get overstimulated," Lee says. "It's nice to just sit quietly and let them feel the effects of that practice."
However, using silence in your classes does not mean you should be completely quiet.
"When you teach a new pose, such as an inversion or backbend, you should keep up a steady stream of instruction," warns White. "You should not bombard them, but at the same time don't leave them hanging. Talking to people gives them the sense that you are present and ready to help them if they need help."
Strategies for Silence
It takes practice to learn to be comfortable with silence. The following strategies may be useful.

The Shih Tzu is an affectionate toy dog breed. That perfectly describes Popcorn. She is a 2-year-old little fluffy bear.
She has beautiful coloring and is a sweet little girl. After being abandoned and dumped in a high kill shelter, Popcorn does display some anxiety if her person leaves her behind. She will whine some, but it is likely Popcorn just needs some time to feel safe in her new environment.
This little furball of cuteness does well in cars and loves being held. Ideally another small dog would be great as a best friend to keep her company whenever her human must be away.
Popcorn is on the shy side but she is a sweet dog. She will surely win her way into your heart.

Yamato ups the ante on Westwood's cheap college spots and generic ethnic joints.
The latest outpost of this successful Valley sushi franchise presents beautifully prepared modern Japanese dishes in an art deco setting unlike anything else in this campus-centric neighborhood.
You're here for the atmosphere. This former bank features vaulted ceilings, with bars on either side (one for sushi, one for booze), stained glass, and plenty of room between tables. If that doesn't sound like a typical Asian restaurant, a colorful arrangement of sake bottles smack in the center will remind you.
The food, often topped with tiny floral arrangements, is every bit as pretty as the space. While none of the dishes on the menu can compete with LA's high-end sushi spots, nothing is quite as pricey either. The space is special, the sushi's fresh and the SoCal specialties (black cod with lime miso; crispy rice with tuna; wasabi guacamole) get the job done.

Each time I go on this site I can count on some new perspectives and up to date information by the crew that runs The Phinsider. I just started to think about how much we love this team. Personally, I like the Heat, I like the Marlins, I'll root for the Panthers (not Carolina, f.y.i. we do have a hockey team), but I LOVE the Dolphins.
There are those that exert so much effort in their posts. I just want to give a shout out to these people. Not only do they give us great insight, but they do not get paid a dime to do so. Now, that is love. The last time I willingly wrote an essay/article was for college and I paid a ton of money to write that essay (tuition). Even I'll spit out an article at least once or twice a month. I wouldn't even think of doing this for any other team (without a paycheck), including Florida teams.
Guys like Ohio share their lives with us. Alejandro and Anish contribute to this site as informatively and intelligently as the operators of The Phinsider. Mosul doesn't miss a beat. These are just a few of the contributors that come to mind. I know their are many others that display their profound knowledge of the game and our team.
I believe every NFL team has true fans and this site displays that for our team. Our stadium doesn't always reflect this, but Florida is a transient state. There aren't many stadiums in the NFL that have visiting teams' fans nearly matching the amount of fans as the home team. Unfortunately, if we keep playing like this, I'm afraid we will be overrun (even more than usual) with Jets' and Bills' fans when the time comes for our home games against them.
Once again, thanks to all of you who contribute. Especially those of you who give us so much of your effort.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This short aid route is located next(right) to DUMB FUN which is located on the east side of the trail to the COFFIN. It is offically located on the KEEL, if you want to look up DUMB FUN in the guidebook. Start the same as for DUMB FUN, then traverse right via bolts and thin nails. Clip a bolt at the lip of the roof, then cautiously tap your way up the featured slab above. After a few spicy moves, mantle a shelf, then slug wonderful long arrows to a chain anchor. Make sure you are knowledgable in the practice of delicate nailing, otherwise this route may not be around in the future. I feel this route to be harder then TIN MAN, yet easier then SKIN MAN (pending that all the fixed gear was pulled out of skin man and you had to hammer new heads). Compared to the BLACK ARCH, I couldn't say, I wimped out on that climb.
five smaller blades, long lost arrows, four beaks, one or two rurps (depending on height of climber). Basically, bring a nailing rack.

Hockey has their hockey hair all-tournament team, but Austin senior Tommy Olmsted stole the show with his Geico, Northwoods beard combo platter. He began growing it in November and with the Packers finally losing their only game in the AAA championship is now free to let it go. Fear the beard!
Best Mascot:
The Johnson Governors mascot wins this hands down. Monocle included!
I really like the Litchfield Dragon mascot. Had my picture taken with said scot last year and this year the Dragon took it's game to another level. Rocked a drum solo that gave those in attendance goose bumps.
Game of the Tournament (Boys):
After leading by 16 at halftime, Park Center watched Lakeville North work back into the game and force overtime. Isaac Matthews put-back with less than a second left sent the Pirates to the semi-finals.
Game of the Tournament (Girls):
The AA championship game between Braham and New Richland-H-E-G was memorable in so many ways. Two of the state's scorers in Carlie Wagner and Rebekah Dahlman scoring 50 and 32 points respectively, Dahlman fouling out with a little more than a minute left leading to a crazy finish that saw NR H-E-G capture their first title.
Most Overrated Student Chant:
We know that you believe that you will win. Can we all just move along?
Honorable Mention: Daddy's money…
There is some serious talent on the horizon.
8th Grader- Jasmyn Martin jumped onto the radar and quickly became the top ranked player in the class of 2017.
T.T. Starks was not at 100% and is clearly still settling back into form but she is still the top player in the class of2015 and will have Hopkins at the top of the list to 4-peat next year.
Eastview's Madison Guebert is ranked #2 in the class of 2015 by G-Prep. She averaged just under 23 points per game.
Washburn guard Lucia Renikoff jumped on the radar with her state performance. She finished the tournament with 28 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Carlie Wagner (NR-H-E-G) set five state tournament records including her 50 point performance in the AA title game.
Kanesha Bell helped Kennedy get to the AAAA state championship game.
Chase Coley opened the Millers first state game since 1984 with a 28 point, 11 rebound, 11 block performance. Washburn will make the jump to AAA next year and the 6'3 Coley will play a huge part in getting back to state.
8th Grader- Walt McGrory is following in his big sisters footsteps and jumping right into the fray. On a team dominated offensively by Graham Woodward, McGrory saw plenty of action.
Tyus Jones seems to have been playing varsity basketball in Minnesota for years. He'll be back for his senior season next year and will try to get his Eagles another title before going off to college.
Reid Travis has options. The 6'7 post from DeLaSalle also doubles as the starting quarterback for the Islanders. Division I is in his sites…will it be football or basketball?
Isaac Matthews made the shot at the buzzer that gave Park Center an overtime win against Lakeville North.
JP Macura can score from anywhere on the floor and he nearly propelled his Lakeville North Panthers past Park Center in the opening round. He led the Panthers with 26 points but will be back for more next year.
Amani Farrar totally took Graham Woodward out of his game in Park Center's semi-final win. He tried to do the same thing in the championship against Tyus, but to no avail. Still Farrar plays with an edge that is probably only liked if you wear green and cheer for the Pirates.
Jalen Mobley led the way for the Governors in their 3-game state tourney run.
At 6'10, there aren't too many taller than AV's Brock Bertram. The big fella gave the Eagles an inside presence. While Tyus will carry the load, Bertram will continue his offensive improvement.
DeLaSalle and Hopkins went back-to-back-to-back on the girls side while the DeLaSalle boys repeated.
Rare Air
Rebekah Dahlman became the only girls player in history to eclipse the 5,000 point mark. She established the mark late in the quarterfinal win over BOLD.

August 2, 2004
Valdosta - Two South Georgia women are charged with vehicular homicide in the death of a 10 month old baby.
In December 2003, 24-year-old Belinda Spillman was drunk when she lost control of her car and slammed into a concrete culvert on Radar Site Road in Lowndes County.
Her sister, 25-year-old Evelyn Kinzle, and Kinzle's infant daughter were with her. The baby died on impact.
A grand jury has indicted Spillman for vehicular homicide and endangering a child while driving under the influence of alcohol. Kinzle was also drunk and is charged with vehicular homicide.
However, according to D. A. Brad Shealy, Kinzle's vehicular homicide charge was dismissed in December of 2004.
The driver Spillman pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide, and was convicted.

Sam Rice, a former Coppell standout who began his career at SMU, has transferred to North Texas.
A source close to the situation confirmed the move on Sunday morning.
Rice started six games for SMU last season, including five at left guard.
Rice was a highly recruited lineman out of Coppell who had offers from several schools, including New Mexico and Memphis, in addition to UNT and SMU.
Rice committed to UNT in December of 2011, but never returned my calls to talk about his decision to play for the Mean Green.
He eventually backed out of that commitment to sign with SMU, where is father played.
Rice quickly carved out a significant role for the Mustangs. I have no information on why he left the school.
Rice will have to sit out a season at UNT, but should have two years of eligibility remaining at with the Mean Green.
The timing appears as if it will work out well for UNT. Cyril Lemon and Mason Y'Barbo, UNT's starting guards, will both be seniors in the fall. Both have been anchors for one of UNT's best overall positional units the last two years.
Rice could sit out next season while Lemon and Y'Barbo finish out their careers and then step in during the 2015 season.
UNT has had great success with transfers during the Dan McCarney era. Safety Marcus Trice transferred from Oklahoma and went on to become a captain and a first-team All-Conference USA selection as a senior in 2013. Reggie Pegram transferred from Purdue and rushed for 338 yards in eight games in 2013 before a knee injury cut his season short.
This won't be the first time UNT has taken a transfer from SMU. Julian Herron was one of a handful of players who did not have their scholarship renewed at SMU after the 2008 season. The linebacker landed at UNT as a transfer and became a key contributor for the Mean Green.
What could make Rice's move from UNT to SMU all the more interesting is the schools are reviving their long-standing football series this fall.

Hello All,
I have a problem with our Revit 2013 Architect installation.
The computer is an HP Z820 Workstation running Windows 2008 R2 with all the drivers properly installed. The graphic card is an NVIDIA Quadro 5000 and the installed driver for this card is 220.127.116.1142. This is the recommended driver version on Autodesk website. The problem is that when I check within Revit it does not detect the correct driver version and states that the driver is an older version. I have tried other drivers including the very latest directly from NVIDIA with no success. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Revit installation is on update 2.
With many thanks in Advance.
you know revit is designed to run on server OS right
are you using citrix?
just so you know this setup violates autodesk license agreement
i wouldn't worry about revit not detecting the correct drivers then
you have to go to the citrix route

CHICAGO (AP) - Marian Hossa scored a power-play goal just 52 seconds into overtime and the streaking Chicago Blackhawks swept the season series against the Nashville Predators for the first time with a 5-4 victory on Friday night.
With Rich Clune in the penalty box serving a four-minute minor for high sticking, Patrick Kane sent a pass across the ice to Hossa, who one-timed it past Pekka Rinne for his 17th goal of the season.
Kane, Michal Handzus, Duncan Keith and Brandon Saad also scored for the NHL-best Blackhawks, who have won seven in a row.

Italian energy giant ENI will expedite its exploratory activities in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), as it has been further encouraged by developments in the Cyprus problem and a relevant statement by the US government, said the Minister of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism Yiorgos Lakkotrypis who is currently in Rome.
He also noted that a memorandum of understanding for the construction of an onshore LNG terminal will be signed with the company within the next few days.
In statements to reporters on the sidelines of Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades' visit to the Holy See, Lakkotrypis said that he had a meeting on Friday with the leadership of ENI during which they discussed various issues, such as, for example, their planning for exploratory activities in the Cyprus EEZ.
"We also discussed the issue of the memorandum of understanding for the liquefaction terminal in Cyprus. The memorandum is ready, it has been agreed on, and there are some formalities left, such as its approval by the Council of Ministers, so that we can proceed to its signing in the next few days," Lakkotrypis noted.
He said that the memorandum states the intention of the company to cooperate with the Cyprus government for the construction of an onshore terminal.
We also had discussions about the exploratory activities of the company for next summer, he noted, adding that "they have been encouraged by the latest developments in the Cyprus problem and in particular by the statement of (U.S. President Barack) Obama that has encouraged them to proceed freely in their activities, because we are talking about hundreds of millions of euros that will be spend."
Lakkotrypis said that with regard to the establishment of the terminal "we are waiting for the discovery of more natural gas, so that we can proceed with this planning. The memorandum includes a provision for the inclusion of ENI in the entire planning for the construction of the terminal. A similar agreement has been signed with (Texas-based) Noble as well as with the French TOTAL," he added.
Asked what is expexted of ENI, Lakkotrypis said that "the initial planning for the exploratory drillings was for the third and fourth quarters of 2014. ENI is now making a great effort to speed up and to begin the exploratory drillings towards the end of August 2014, something that is very important because it will expedite the procedures for the discovery of more natural gas."
Preliminary results of a Noble Energy appraisal well for natural gas in Block 12 of the Cyprus EEZ estimate the hydrocarbon reserves between 3.6tcf and 6tcf with a gross mean resource of 5tcf. Noble Energy operates Block 12 with a 70% working interest. Israel's Delek Drilling and Avner Oil Exploration each own 15%. Noble, Delek and Avner also operate the adjacent gasfields within the adjacent EEZ in Israel.
Last June, the Cyprus government, Delek and Avner signed a MoU for the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Cyprus.
The ENI - KOGAS consortium, which has signed a contract for hydrocarbons exploration in blocks 2, 3 and 9 within Cyprus' EEZ, is planning to drill in the third quarter of 2014, while
Total, which has signed a contract for blocks 10 and 11, is also proceeding with drilling at the first quarter of 2015.

Valdosta - It's not your typical parade. There's no floats or marching bands, but a line of decorative wheelchairs. "The residents love it because it gives them a chance to get out and show their creativity," said Chuck Roberts, Heritage House Administrator.
Each nursing home has three entries in the parade. There were cartoon characters, to super heroes and even sports fanatics "It took about three hours to come up with the idea, but we decided I'd be Captain America. "We used bed railings for my wings and decorated it red, white, and blue," said Lester Griffin, Nursing Home Patient.
With so many creative contestants, it was a tough decision for the judges. "They're all so great, its really hard," said Cynthia Diamond, Judge.
But only four could win. This year's champions were the Lake Haven Beauty Queen, Star Trek, The Mad Doctor, and Princess Under the Sea. "It makes me feel young again," said Doris Reiselt, Nursing Home Patient.
The top four wheelchairs each received a gift bag, along with the winning titles they'll hold until next year's parade.
