Michigan... Siberia - 10/15/2014
Not my favorite place[Comment on this Posting]
Can't Wait To Retire, I'm OUT of Here - 5/25/2014
I am not a good reviewer of Michigan (Flint area). I hate it here. I hate the cold, the long winters, the icy roads, and I hate the muggy summers. I am retiring as soon as I can and leaving. [Comment on this Posting]
Huron-Clinton Metroparks - 3/15/2014
Metroparks in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area are the best. There are winter and summer activities all the time. There is golf, disc golf, bicycle paths, kayaking on the Huron River, picnicking, hiking, and cross country skiiing. Anything you can do outdoors in nature is there. They have fun educational outdoor activities for the whole family. [Comment on this Posting]
Outdoor Mecca - 4/7/2013
Michigan is a wonderful state for the outdoors. The beaches are amazing. The rivers and lakes are excellent for weekend trips and camping/canoe/kayaking/hunting/fishing. I have spent 30 yrs hear and if it weren't for the cold winters, I wouldn't think of leaving. If you love the outdoors, this is a great place to be. [Comment on this Posting]
Gloomy Winters - 3/18/2013
If you enjoy cold gloomy winters and unpredictable weather patterns during the rest of the year, here is the place for you.[Comment on this Posting]
Pure Michigan - 2/2/2013

Michigan - 8/25/2012
My husband is q Michigan native. However, he move out of the state due to his career. We now have move back to the state and have live here for 5 yrs and we have really enjoyed it. Michigan, especially the Detroit area is just like in many states, yes...the economy is slow, yes...crime has overtaken some cities, especially Detroit and some surrounding areas, yes...the school system can improve, yes:..the number of abandoned buildings are a major eyesore. Overall, this state is very beautiful. We love the nature parks and trails, the crystal clear lakes, the multicultural festivals in the summer, the easy access to Canada, which we live only 4 hrs away from Niagara Falls in the Canadian side. We love the four seasons. Bottom line, you make the place you live how you want to be. If we ever move from Michigan, we would like to move to another state the offers the same or more like it.

climate - 7/28/2012
I love Michigan. I have lived here all my life and love the four seasons. Snowmobilng in the winter, fishing and swimming in the summer. The highs you get when spring comes and the anticipation of getting the annuals planted and watching the perennials come to life. It is a great place to live.[Comment on this Posting]
Michigan is Home - 7/17/2012
I grew up in Michigan so it has become familiar to my family and myself. There are so many great things in Michigan and it offers one of the best school systems in our country. However, there are many changes that need to be made for Michigan to get back on a route to success.
There is one thing that may never change in Michigan..... That cold, cold winter and the beautiful changes in the seasons. Michigan is home and there is no place like it.[Comment on this Posting]
Weather great for raindeers and santa - 7/14/2012
Although I have lived in this climate all my life, it leaves something to be desired with the cold winters and unpredictable weather during the other parts of the year. I remember it snowed in May one year. Go figure! For those who like cold weather sports such as sleding, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. .. this would be the perfect place![Comment on this Posting]
Living in Michigan - 4/24/2012
It is so beautiful in Michigan, especially further north. You really appreciate the seasons since you get four. You wouldn't love winter if it wasn't for Summer . Spring wouldn't be a relief if Winter never came and the joy of flowers blooming along with a warmer breeze. You wouldn't love fall if it weren't for the changing colors on the trees. It's a great place to live as long as you're in the right city, every city, state etc... have their flaws, but if you can find a place that hasn't been run down with abandoned buildings are overtaken by crime, well that's about as close as it gets to Heaven.. in Michigan. Grew up here, only leave to visit other places.. couldn't leave for good... Fall is when I feel most at peace.[Comment on this Posting]
Depressing, dark, not much to do, flat, no big cit - 2/8/2012
Don't move here, trust me. I've lived in NY, NJ, NM. ALL of them were far better choices. Now I'm stuck in MI for near a decade and it feels like a decade spent wasted. I'm indoors ALL THE TIME just like every other resident. People from here try to defend this state with it's "beautiful four seasons" but come on- MOST states have clear four seasons without the extremes that michigan experiences, such as PA, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Virginia, and about a dozen more. It's as if the folks here believe fall and winter dosen't exist outside this state! As for wintery fun- sure, if you own a snowmobile or live near where there are man made mountains for skiing, because there is no mountains in michigan. I've barely even seen 4 hills, and I've been up and down, west and east across the entire state. I've been to every "major" city and there's just nothing here folks. There's a few pockets with money and shopping etc, like Auburn hills, but you have to have loads of money to live there- and why would you, really, when you can live in California or somewhere more pleasant for the same cost?! I live outside Ann Arbor. Ann Arborites have a superiority complex because they feel they are "so cultured" due to the University being here. But I work with the university for 8 years. Great as it is- ALL the students MOVE out of state upon graduating. Why is that? Because there is no jobs and no one wants to live here with actual skills. It's gray all the time- there's less than 100 sunny days a year. The winters are between 5-and 7 months long, and the summers are so humid and mosquito ridden you'll hide inside then too. Snow? that actually dosen't happen much around here. I am shocked after a near decade to report that out of all the states I've lived, (except NM) I've seen far less snow here than anywhere else. The lakes are pretty, sure- but LOTS of states have lakes, by the thousands- take NY for example, or the ocean coastline in New England. There is nothing here. NOTHING. The only people that love it here have family. That's understandable. If you don't, take you're money (By the way, Ann Arbor is as expensive as Parts of NYC to live in) elsewhere.

Leave Detroit - 9/27/2011
Detroit, Michigan has to be the worst place to live, property taxes has sky rocketed, unemployment rate is the highest and not to mention the crime. The weather is horrible, I'm older now and trying to relocate to a better place to live.[Comment on this Posting]
Not bad..... - 8/18/2011
I have spent my whole childhood in MI and its a little dull and boring. But comparetively, this is a nice state cuz when you look at Kansas (yawn) or Illinois (also yawn) you'll appreciate going to Lake Michigan's many gorgeous beaches, many golf courses, our gorgeous upper peninsula and the countless inland lakes. You will also find that this state is much more forested than many other states in the midwest. But unfortunately the winters can run pretty long like for instance we got 6 inches of snow at the end of April this year....and the only other draw back to this state is the bad economy....so jobs are harder to find right now. But overall im fairly happy to be in Michigan.[Comment on this Posting]
Great Lake State - 1/18/2011
Wonderful state if you enjoy all four season's. There is always something to do outside. If you don't like the weather just wait 10 minuets it may get worse. [Comment on this Posting]

Slowly Growing Economy! And Some Other Stuff! :)) - 8/14/2010
It may shock you, but before I've heard the highest unemployment rate of the nation was Michigan before, with 15.1 percent unemployment. That rate is now 13.2 percent, slowly growing economy. We finally rank second now, Nevada is now 1.0 percent above us, Nevada is horrible! But Michigan IS getting better, but I don't understand why people have to move away permanently. The scenery here is BEAUTIFUL, with tons of trees and hills and a wide variety of nature. Northern Lower Michigan is pretty suburban and VERY quiet. I camp near Luzerne, Michigan, and me and my family have a cabin in Canada Creek Ranch in Montmerency County. I live in Genessee County, Flushing to be exact. I know what your thinking: FLINT! I live on the eastern side of Flushing but Flushing really is that bad. Most of the other city have some descent crime but Flushing really isn't one of them. Lately there has been some abnormal events, but it's summer and us kids love to cause trouble because we get more bored than adults at work. Flint is the 5th most dangerous city, according to crime ratings of cities in 2009. Detroit ranks 4th, down from 1st and other former rankings. Yet again Detroit is extreme poverty, we have to give them a little slack since the unemployment rate is crazy and the auto industry is failing, we need to diversify our economy, NOW! Flint is just Flint though, it's terrible there, I heard they were going to bring in the swat team it got so bad. Murders, assaults... it's horrible and makes you really scared of going there. Heck, they just got a serial killer in Flint. But I heard he did some real bad murders in Virgina as well and possibly Ohio, but I'm not sure. I know Michigan and Virginia for a fact, but Ohio I'm not positive. You should move here when the economy gets better! Many couples have moved here for weddings, saw it on the news! Maybe you should move to Grand Rapids or Flushing, like me! Well that's all for now, I may post some comments about others states n' stuff. Later![Comment on this Posting]

Who Should Decide How Children Are Educated?By Ken Blackwell Senior Fellow, Family Empowerment
Who has the primary responsibility for making critical decisions about the education of school-aged children? Their parents? Or government and the school system it operates? That is a fundamental question about education policy that faces the United States as it attempts to build educational institutions for the twenty-first century.

When I was elected County Executive, in the midst of the worst economic downturn in decades, I knew I would need some creative ideas, call it a new way of thinking, to help people who had lost their jobs get back to work.
Recognizing that jobs are the key to a growing economy, I instituted job fairs to link the unemployed with businesses and corporations in need of workers. I also invested funds in job training and retraining centers with our local towns. In partnership with the County's Industrial Development Agency, I offered incentives that helped create and retain more than 3,500 private sector jobs. My administration worked hand-in-hand with businesses and corporations to ensure they–and their employees—stayed in Nassau County.
Building on my efforts to help put people back to work and reduce citizens' reliance on social services, I launched a free job-finding application–Nassau Works—that notifies job seekers of job opportunities. This innovative jobs platform provides a comprehensive and integrated social and mobile job solution that connects job seekers and employers. This new platform is offered to County businesses for free to help reduce their recruiting costs and ensure they gain access to qualified candidates. One of the largest databases of available jobs on the Internet, Nassau Works also allows seekers to view job openings in the geographic proximity of their smartphone.
Available at www.NassauWorks.com or at the App Store for your mobile device, this app quickly gets your search underway, and is as easy to use as pushing a button to find jobs or for employers to instantly distribute job listings to every corner of the digital landscape.
Job seekers can choose to receive job notifications via text message on their phone, e-mail or through social media networks such as Twitter. Nassau Works is also integrated with Facebook, so job seekers can easily see if any of their friends are connected with the hiring company. Through the site, seekers can request a referral from a friend to the hiring company, making the chances of getting the job 20 times higher.
Going forward, all of the County's economic development compacts through the IDA will require that businesses post job openings on Nassau Works, thereby expanding the database.
This innovative jobs platform is the perfect complement to the initiatives I have already instituted. Utilizing this technology, Nassau County will gain access to data and analytics that offer unprecedented insight into the County's local employment needs, and will help steer key decisions that will provide the foundation for future job growth. It is a vital tool in today's economy.

text: The sounds of the sixties – but way more than you might expect! There's definitely a few hits here, but most of the tracks are more unusual numbers too – presented here in a unique British twist on the 60s that not only includes some tracks that played big there, but not over here – and a whole host of collectable numbers that have come to represent the decade in some folks' eyes – even if the tunes only hit bigger fame in more recent years! So what does all that mean? It means you get a rich blend of rock, soul, and vocal numbers – both from the US and UK, in styles that run from mod to swinging to soulful to trippy! 46 tracks in all – including "We're In This Thing Together" by The Carrolls, "My Conversation" by The Uniques, "Night Life" by Willie Nelson, "You Can't Do That" by Nilsson, "No Matter What Sign You Are" by Diana Ross & The Supremes, "I Close My Eyes & Count To Ten" by Dusty Springfiel, "Sukiyaki" by Kyo Sakamoto, "That Means A Lot" by PJ Proby, "Hole In My Shoe" by Traffic, "Super Girl" by Graham Bonney, "Move In A Little Closer" by Harmony Grass, "Run Baby Run" by The Newbeats, "I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby" by Justine Washington, "No Need To Explain" by Flamma Sherman, "Some Other Guy" by Richie Barrett, "Head Over Heels" by Mike Rabin & The Demons, and "I'm A Lover Not A Fighter" by The Brand. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The Oscar Awards is the biggest night for Hollywood's glitterati and Grazia Daily loves watching our favourite stars working the red carpet in their glam gowns and seeing the hilarious, tearful and sometimes downright bizarre acceptance speeches that follow a big win. So in anticipation of the 84th Annual Academy Awards taking place at the Kodak Theatre this Sunday, not only have we trawled through the best and worst Oscar frocks (click through the gallery above), but we've also compiled our top Oscar moments...
'Shakespeare In Love' beat off stiff competition from 'Saving Private Ryan' to win 7 awards in 1999. But the most memorable thing about that night was Gwyneth Paltrow's speech upon accepting the gong for Best Actress. Swathed in a pink Ralph Lauren gown, her teary tribute to lost and loved ones lasted a whopping 3 minutes and left barely a dry - or should that be open? - eye in the house. Click here to relive that epic moment.
Not just content with winning Best Actor for his role in 'The Pianist', Adrien Brody planted this smacker on presenter Halle Berry as he accepted his award in 2003. Well, you would, wouldn't you?!
Winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2007 for her role in 'Dreamgirls' catapulted Jennifer Hudson from talent show runner-up to international superstar. The world, and us, revelled in her moment. Click here to relive the moment George Clooney presented J-Hud with the golden statuette.
And last but by no means least, 2007 also saw Martin Scorsese FINALLY take home the gong for Best Director for 'The Departed'. The fact that he'd lost out in this category five times before is still a sore point amongst movie buffs but his efforts were at last rewarded. Watch the heart-warming moment here.
Stay tuned to Grazia Daily and Grazia's Twitter feed as we bring you all the gossip from the Oscars on Sunday night - including a gallery of the best dressed stars - live from the biggest red carpet event of the year. We're excited!

First, in Federation Commander, they are called "gunboats". Just so you can use the modern nomenclature.
Second, how they will be included into Federation Commander is still under consideration, and I am sure Steve will let us all know when the time is right.
Third, in the mean time, don't let that stop you from offering your thoughts and what you would like to see.
Finally, there is already another recent discussion on the whole gunboats issue (though it is buried in the
thread, as it was a tangent).

There is no guarantee that, even if we ever do see gunboats brought into
at some point, the final Ship Cards or rules needed to support them will be in any way related to what you see in that file; but at the very least, it's food for thought.
(I for one would look to see how the "hot warp" Alpha PFs do things, if only to try and figure out how to modify the rules in order to support the kind of "volatile warp" gunboats available over in the Omega Octant. Since you mentioned the Iridani in another thread, I should note that SSDs for their gunboats exist in
SFB Module Omega 5
, so could, in theory at least, be available for conversion at some far distant point... if Alpha PFs ever show up first, that is.)

I was just reading through the carrier thread and I just wanted to note that I thought your idea to eliminate EA and treat them as super large fighters was a good one. I think you allow them to choose speed at the beginning of the turn and assume that they are able to load all available weapons. Perhaps, if they operate at speed 24 or above you assume they are using booster packs and damage is doubled.
The only area I differ from you is on scouts and leaders. I think they should be represented. I also believe you need some basic tender rules that are no more complicated then existing Federation Commander shuttle rules because simulating large SFB battles and certain existing scenarios would require this.

Just to be clear, I want this, too. But only in Borders of Madness.
My reasoning is this: The only way you are going to get the full "semi-SFB" battles going is likely to be BoM, anyway. It is still most likely that non-Hydran fighters and carriers will only be in BoM. So, in that case, full gunboat operations only need to be in BoM, too.
The point of having just combat-only (no leader, scouts, or other variants), no tender operations in Federation Commander is to allow for "gap fillers" in point battles. Entire flotillas are quite expensive (even outside the tenders). So, in base Federation Commander, the need for a full flotilla is probably not that high. By allowing any force to use up to six base combat gunboats, forces can be tailored a little better to use up the available points.
That's my theory, anyway.
I really would like to see no-EA base combat gunboats added to Federation Commander.

I'm with MJ on this one.
Tenders, L&S in BoM. Combat only PFs in FC.
I'm not sure about no-EA...could go either way on that one, but I do like the ability to fully utilize the points by bringing along a couple of PFs.

Gotcha I was thinking about BOM. My take on BoM is that it better go all the way, at least in terms of using existing SSD's, or why bother.

I agree that splitting "casual" PFs and true PFTs (and SCSs) into "vanilla"
sounds good. I do still like the idea of EA for gunboats, however; not least since it would make showing the distinction between "hot warp" and "volatile warp" boats easier to model in game engine terms.
The only non-standard PF I would want to see as an option outside of BoM might be the PFQ, and even then tied to the deployment of survey ships (should they become a proper thing in the game system).

The reason I want to do away with the idea of EA for gunboats has two primary reasons:
1) The movement rates don't work. The SFB gunboat is literally built around its 1/5 movement rate. The workability of the gunboat SSD has that as its technical underpinning, and moving to 1/8 doesn't work. It is possible to move to 1/4, but do you really want a gunboat having the same movement rate as a frigate, despite the fact that the frigate is 25 to 30 times the size and probably 40 times the mass? Even in a "science fantasy" setting that just doesn't work. So, since the movement rates just won't work, let's get rid of them.
2) Get rid of booster packs. Rather than accentuating the difference between "hot warp", "volatile warp", and "regular warp", I want to just sweep all of that stuff under the rug and forget about it. Saves rules that really don't add much to the game, but add a LOT of complexity. It just doesn't seem like a win to include it, so let's drop it.
There are other benefits, too, but those are the primary ones in my mind.
In summary, having no EA for gunboats solves major problems and eliminates a bunch of rules that would, of necessity, be rather complex. It just seems win-win to me.

Excellent explanation, Mike.
Not being an avid SFB player, the "metagame" aspects of the PFs/Gunboats were not something that were apparent to me.
My understanding was that PFs were typically able to run essentially full-speed and still shoot (being late-War concepts with exotic engines), so EA would indeed be a bit of a wash. The minor trades of max-speed for overloaded heavy weapon really aren't worth the extra crunch EA would bring.
If the move-cost was changed to 1/4, it would indeed turn them into overgunned Police ships or small frigates (and we already have those).
I'd rather they have an
of the unique feel they have in SFB.
Side-note: Given the push to reduce complexity, I think it might be nice to "merge" Interceptors and PFs into one thing for FC. Specifically, the shields on Interceptors being Fwd/Aft hemispheres would be a nice way to make PFs feel different in FC (and reduce space requirements on the ship cards). Just a thought.
My "sweet spot" would be something that acts like a larger, more-powerful Stinger (which we already have),
with more granular tracking of attributes (i.e. systems on a ship card),
not as much as a proper ship (e.g. no power-tracking/EA).

Here is another approach to gunboat energy allocation:
Use "orders" for EA.
Flank speed! Just about all power to engines except maybe for 1 phaser.
Power to weapons! Fully arm all weapons, but movement would be minimal.
Balanced. Moderate movement rate and either phasers OR heavy weapons energized and ready to fire.
Evasive! Evasive maneuvering and moderate speed; no weapons energized.
This approach would give gunboats a little more flavor than fighters. For that matter, gunboats could be organized into groups (squadrons or flights or whatever one wants to call them) so that each gunboat in the group would follow the same orders.
Damage allocation could be different, too.
Use something like the old damage allocation from the Cadet Handbook that simply categorized damage. I don't remember what the exact categories were, but for gunboats they could be something like Power, Weapons, Hull, and Systems. Let the owner of the gunboat mark as damaged whichever individual boxes on the ship card that (s)he wants within that category.
These suggestions might make gunboats different enough from both ships and fighters and yet keep ease of use paramount.

Djdood and Mike (not West),
You're both kind of on target but a little bit off. I rarely ever play PF's in SFB, but getting out my Module K here, a Klingon G1 can move at full speed and charge all weapons IF it uses the booster packs. When booster packs are used the PF takes double damage. If booster packs aren't used then you could do one or the other but not both at the same time.

Another option is as a Gunboat takes Engine Damage have a list of what it loses at each level for example.
6 Warp = Speed 24, All actions and weapons.
5 Warp = Speed 16+1, Cannot fire its torpedo as a overload.
4 Warp = Speed 16, Can only fire one phaser or reduce the fire off all phaser to that of a phaser-3. Damage Control drops to 1.
3 Warp = Speed 8+1, Cannot fire its torpedo.
2 Warp = Speed 8, Can only fire one phasers and it can only be fired as a Phaser-3s.
1 Warp = Speed ZERO+1, All weapons disabled.
Gunboats can perform a HET or EM by moving at one Warp Level lowere than they current have, this does not affect weapons or other functions.
I like the Fore nd Aft Shield ideal.
MJW I see no reason why Leders need to be barred in plain vanilla FedCom. just assume the first one taken is a Leader. A shuttle and Tractor really are not going to break anything. Also if someone has 6 Gunboats why not let the last one be a scout if they choose? Just the scout can only support another gunboat not another unit.

My only question with no EA is what about damage? If a PF takes a couple of burn throughs to the Warp Engine, how do you account for the power loss without EA?
What about a compromise:
PFs can go any speed for no power cost, then have all other things paid for like other FC units?
For FC purposes you could drop the warp pack boxes off the ship card and just have the normal warp engines. Off-hand I don't know if that would pay for all weapon fire, etc or if that would be too much, but the actual amount of power on the ship card could be changed to the amount SFB has for power left over after paying for speed 24.
However, it's got to be easier to change the available power on the ship card to delete power going to movement than it is to figure out 1/5 movement, warp packs, etc.

Two reasons for skipping leaders:
1) These are effectively modeled on the idea of "casual" gunboats. In that case, leaders are disqualified by default.
2) No need for the complexity. No need to waste space handling two gunboat types when one does everything needed. Having the tractor and transporter don't cause rules problems, but also don't add anything into the equation. Leave them for BoM.

The idea is something like what Dal was trying to outline, but with less granularity. I was thinking something like this:
Undamaged: If they choose speed 16 or less, they can fire everything, including overloads. If they choose speed 24, they can only fire normals.
Damaged: For each 1/4 of total power lost, the speed brackets move down a level. So, at 1/4 total power lost, they have to go speed 8 to overload, or go speed 16 with normals. They can't go speed 24 anymore. At 1/2 this drops a level, so they can overload at speed 0, or go speed 8 with overloads. At 3/4 it drops another level, meaning they can only go speed 0 with normal loads and can't go any faster. At no power, they are Stopped and can't fire.
At all damage levels above no power, they can always HET once a turn and can accelerate and/or decelerate once an impulse.
Or something like that. The idea is to keep it very simple and streamlined so that they can run and gun, but don't have to worry about exactly how the power is spent.

The Axe handle is hailed as a breakthrough by players and coaches from youth leagues to the pros. With an ergonomic design to fit your hands, the Axe handle shape gives you a better grip with less tension and delivers many important benefits through your swing.
Because the Axe is the only approved bat with an asymmetric grip, our engineers can focus in on a single hitting face. The Engineered Hitting Zone lets us dial in performance and durability like no other bat maker can.
"As a former player, the thing I like about the Axe is the way your hands fit when you grab it. It feels like your hands are more free to swing through the ball." ~ John KrukPro Baseball Legend, 3-time All-Star, current baseball analyst for ESPN

FREDERICK, Md. - A former Frederick County sheriff's deputy is avoiding jail time for misconduct in a case stemming from allegations he molested a 14-year-old girl.
The Frederick News-Post ( http://bit.ly/RMGDWn) reports that 47-year-old Sam Bowman got a suspended 18-month jail term at his sentencing Thursday in Frederick. He got two years of supervised probation in a plea deal.
Bowman was charged last year with child sex abuse and fourth-degree sex offense involving a ninth-grader he met while working as a Walkersville High School resource officer.
Bowman acknowledged he drove the girl home in his police cruiser without authorization and went inside her house. He claims he was looking for evidence of drug use but found none.
His cruiser's GPS system showed he was at the house for more than an hour.

Ancient Incas' best kept secret.

Maca root is truly a superfood. 100 grams of it contain a whopping 475% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, 300% of copper, 85% of iron, 57% of pota ssium and vitamin B6, 39% of manganese, 29% of dietary fiber, protein, and niacin, 25% of calcium, 21% of riboflavin, as well as essential amino acids and phytosterols. Such a unique composition makes maca root a powerful endocrine system regulator, adaptogen, stress relieving and immune system boosting agent. No surprise it was revered by the ancient Incas. Maca root is great for treating hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism, low energy levels, anemia, menopause and menstrual disorders, osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatism, stress, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, leukemia, tuberculosis, stomach cancer, infertility, and even HIV/AIDS. Maca root contains unique alkaloids that stimulate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to better balance the entire endocrine system, boost and strengthen the immune system, increase energy levels, relieve the symptoms of stress and depression, help maintain healthy bones, joints, teeth, and even reduce the risk of cancer. But maca root is a very powerful product and can cause side effects in some individuals, so it should be taken in moderation. It is a fiber-rich vegetable composed of 25% fibers (oligosaccahrides, cellulose, lignins) and contains goitrogens (goitrogenic glycosides, or glucosinolates), which have some anti-nutritive effects and can cause stomach cramps, indigestion, and thyroid and hormonal issues in people with hormone-sensitive conditions, such as breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. These goitrogens are neutralized by cooking (in Peru it's always cooked) or starch gelatinization, which makes maca root powder a slightly concentrated and easily digestible product. Starch gelatinization is a simple process that involves heating starches in the presence of water, with the aim of gelatinizing the starches. Gelatinization of maca powder involves gentle heat combined with water, which opens up the starch molecules, softens cellulose and disperses many of the soluble fibers. In addition to making maca's alkaloids more bioavailable, it also deactivates myrosinase enzyme, making it so the goitrogens in maca are not metabolized. So, if you're prone to indigestion and stomach cramps, it's best to try the gelatinized version of this product. This organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free raw maca powder really works for me: since I started taking a teaspoon of this product daily, I haven't noticed any side effects, and it makes me more active and energetic. It has a slightly bitter taste, but goes well with yogurt, smoothies, shakes, cereal, granola, tea, coffee, chocolate, and great in cookies, pancakes, and muffins. Maca's flavor blends well with different fruits, berries, nuts, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. I would definitely recommend it. It's worth trying.

I got pregnant after 18 months of infertility due to pcos using vitex and maca from navitus naturals the fist month. I feel that these products helped even though all the thanks is to God! I used the Macau in yogurt and oatmeal. The taste is tolerable.

My hormones were completely wrecked! Adrenal/cortisol imbalance, hypothyroidism, and after 4 years my hot flashes had come back! - I've taken this stuff for only 3 weeks now and can tell an absolutely DRAMATIC difference in the way I feel. I'm starting to feel great again and the hot flashes have diminished by about 90%. I can't wait to get to the endocrinologist to see my bloodwork test results. I expect I'll be taking this product the rest of my life. I'm so thankful I've found it!
The WOW Factor!

I have been religiously using this powder for about one month now. After a week, I noticed an upswing in libido. I purchased this product, in addition to natural progesterone cream, to regulate my hormonal imbalance-I'm estrogen dominant-and it really has balanced my levels. At that time of month for many years I would experience the migraines, neck and back aches; but now this has substantially decreased and I no longer experience the migraines, neck and back aches. I do experience a slight headache that usually lasts about 20 minutes--but again no migraines and for me that is a GREAT relief to not suffer continuously for days. I would recommend this product and give it about two to three months to really feel a difference.
Definitely worth buying!

Maca is an adaptogen that is well known to increase libido for both men/women without affecting hormones. It helps to increase sperm count and motility, improve immunity, nutrient dense (rich in amino acid, phytonutrients, healthy fats, vitamin and minerals), nourishes the endocrine system, balances the hormones relieve exhausted adrenal glands which help to handle stress, increase energy levels, improve physical endurance and elevates our mood. This product is organic (no pesticides), kosher, vegan and raw (means that vitamins and enzymes are not destroyed by heat). Maca has a sweet and slight root taste. I consider it pleasant tasting. It's a good price for 454g of maca. Personally, I find that the libido boost and energy boost is quite observant. This is a good way to take maca as well as compared to those capsules of 500mg or tablets of 1000mg (seriously low in dosage). I like to mix with chocolate based blend like Amazing Gras s Chocolate to drink. My only complaint is that the zip lock tears off easily so you will require a container unless the powder will cake.

The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of the investigational drug BMS-986015 that can be given together with ipilimumab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, or melanoma that persists despite standard therapy. Researchers hope that these two drugs given in combination may help the immune system kill cancer cells.
BMS-986015 attaches to and blocks KIR proteins, which are present mainly on immune system cells called natural killer cells and which control part of the immune system by shutting it down. It is hoped that by binding to and inactivating KIR proteins, BMS-986015 can activate natural killer cells to attack and kill tumor cells.
Ipilimumab is an antibody against CTLA-4, a molecule that controls a part of the immune system by shutting it down. Researchers believe that one way cancers can escape the immune system could be through this shut-down mechanism. An antibody against CTLA-4 could stop it from turning off the immune system, and allow an immune reaction to continue. This immune reaction may help the body to destroy cancer cells. Ipilimumab is approved for treating melanoma; its use in combination with BMS-986015 in this study is considered investigational.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Does it matter which leg you DPS first thou?
Just make sure to have a tank outside the raid to taunt and take the Spark of Rhyolith out the raid asap. We had little difficulties with it which made healing a lot easier in phase 1. There is also a good guide out there on how to position here at: http://25man.com/firelands/rhyolith
Does it matter which leg you DPS first thou?
The legs share a healthpool so it doesn't matter which leg you start with so long as he doesnt reach the magma river.
My guild was having issues with the sparks in 10M version. we tanked them off to the side but it seemed that the next set of fragments came so fast that we couldnt kill the spark before switching to the fragments. After the dps downed the fragments and switched back to the spark the tank was taking too much dmg to heal thru. Did anyone else have this issue? I saw someone suggest only 1 dps assigned to adds and I just dont see how thats a possible strat. our build was 2 tanks 3 heals 2 melee and 3 ranged dps. we had to keep 3 to 4 dps on the feet when he was coming close to the river to turn him.
Another post mentioned that it doesnt appear to be actual dps that makes him turn, stating that even at 40-30% they were still having some issues turning him without switching an extra person onto the feet so would that suggest that it doesnt necesarily matter how much dps your doing but rather how many people are attacking it?
This fight seemed like it was one of the easier fights of this instance so long as people know how to stay out of fire I just want to try to get a good grasp of what we are doing wrong so I can lead the raid in the right direction.
I think it is more the amount of dps on the leg compared to the other one.
So a 50:50 split would make him run straight ahead, while a 60:40 split would make him turn slowly and a 90:10 split would force him to make a very tight turn.
As far as turning goes, it appeared to me that it was either based on the number of people attacking a foot, or the damage that would have been done to the foot before the obsidian armor reduction. If it were simply damage done, a single dps after the armor is reduced to zero stacks would have been more effective at turning than 3 or even 4 dps were at full stacks. This was simply not the case for us -- we saw no improvement in our ability to turn him as the fight progressed.
With adds, we did have only 1 assigned *permanently* but 95% of the time we had two full-time add dps. The second dps on adds was our swing man, in case we needed the boss to make a quick flip around to hit an active volcano behind him. Typically, this required ~5-10 seconds of extra dps time, before the second add dps could return to killing adds.
Even with low dps on the sparks, the damage is pretty manageable (should only be hitting tank anyhow) if you can keep the erupting volcanoes under control and limit the number of stacks your raid gets. The biggest thing killing us was the eruption and associated stacks, which is why we assigned that fourth dps to be ready for a quick dps switch for higher boss mobility.
For fragments, keep in mind that you have a full 30 seconds before they explode. If you're using two tanks, one tank should be on them full time. Depending on your tank's damage, your dps probably only need to be able to do 20k aoe to squash them before they pop. We found that it only took one dps to do this, leaving our 2nd add dps free to either dps the spark or hit the feet as needed.
Once again, the most critical thing for us was getting the active volcanoes stomped immediately. If you let them go and your raid gets high stacks, otherwise trivial damage becomes life-threatening. Sparks and fragments will crush your tanks, a misstep into a lava stream becomes a 1-shot on a dps or healer, and the boss's periodic concussive stomp will send your healers into panic mode.
"They say that the best blaze brightest when circumstances are at their worse."
I have a question regarding Ryolith's steering. Last night I was on add duty (prot war), mostly due to the lack of being able to see Ryolith's "steering bar".
I use Bartender4 for my action bars and pitbull for my unit frames (using a customized version of Caulle's UI). According to guildies the steering bar should be approximately in the middle of the screen, at the bottom (so technically above the standard blizz ui action bars). Even though I don't have an action bar or anything else in that part of my screen I don't see the steering bar at all.
I was wondering whether anyone else had this problem and, if so, how they solved it. If I could only find the bar I could probably use the "MoveAnything" AddOn to move it but the main issue is...I don't see it. Slight problem is that in order to be able to test where it is, I'd need to be fighting Ryolith...which is not very handy hahaha.
Any info and advice is welcome.
I've had issues with the addon Sexy Map interferring with default UI and other addon UI. If you're using it, could be the culprit Bel*.
I know this post is a little out of place, however I was wondering if someone could help me with the addons used in this video since the UI seems clean and functional, and I wanted to improve my performance.
Looks pretty easy yeah? We have been trying Beth all week and now I think we picked the wrong one to shoot for first!
P.S. What's up with the mack-daddy music in this video? The ladies already love your luxurious hair Lore, they don't need bedroom music to boot!, though I suppose it don't hurt...
Does anyone know if the 'activate volcano' beam has a range? In the video above it seems like one of the far out volcanoes stays dormant for a decent chunk of time (until the boss is brought near it).
If this is the case, it would explain the behavior we saw the other night. Our melee were a little "too" good at steering the boss, keeping almost all of the volcanoes down quickly but also having him within range of one almost all the time. We noticed our stacks were always higher and not resetting in this case, and I'm wondering if his positioning had anything to do with the activating of volcanoes.
I'm wondering how many dps do you usually assign to sparks and fragment respectively?
We tried him for a little bit but didn't got him down, due to stacking volcano's debuff. We were stepping on them quite quickly, is there a need to avoid stepping on dormants ones?
In 25 man we were running 9 dps on legs and 7 dps on adds. The fragments really aren't hard to kill in time and I don't think I've ever actually seen one blow someone up. The sparks probably could have used a 1-2 more dps but fragments die so fast that it didn't really matter when the sparks took longer to kill.
The main thing is to always be heading towards the active volcano. If you miss one or diverge from the path to get inactive ones, healing will get extremely heavy really fast.
Will have to see next week how the nerfs yesterday change this fight.
Is this fight bugged? We were attempting him last night, and sometimes, especially near the platforms, he would do a sharp turn to the opposite side (ie. hitting right leg, bar at max, he would suddenly turn left, possibly after stomping), and we would not have enough time to turn him back.
If we have to expect this behavior normally, I'd ask my raid to look out and switch immediately, but we decided to try another boss thinking (and reading reports) that this is a bug.

We love our blinds - they were SO easy to install. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get our first choice b/c they didn't come in the size of our large window. However, our 2nd choice is almost as pleasing! The only suggestion I would give is to make it
more clear when ordering online that certain shades can't be made in certain sizes. The website let us go through the entire process of measuring and filling in all the necessary info and making a payment only to find out several days later via email that
what we selected didn't come in that size. Why then were we allowed to select those sizes when ordering online? A message should've come up to let us know we needed to pick something else. Other than that, we love everything about our blinds!

Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton's highly-skilled, professional staff of physicians and nurses in its cardiac progressive care unit (CPCU) treats patients who have experienced angina, heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiac diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization, pacemaker insertion and/or a heart attack.
The dedicated team of medical professionals has rigorously studied and trained to care for patients with a variety of intravenous cardiac medications, such as Cardizem, amiodarone, lidocaine, nitroglycerin, Natrecor, Dobutamine, dopamine, Integrilin and Primacor. Medical staff and hospital personnel also counsel and educate families regarding how the disease may be expected to progress over time, how it can be treated by a wide variety of medications and how to develop heart-healthy lifestyles.
Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton's 12-bed intensive care unit (ICU) opened in 2003 to treat patients with acute illnesses such as hemodynamic instability (irregular heart rhythms and unstable blood pressures) that require intensive monitoring and intervention by trained medical staff. Four of the ICU beds are designated for a cardiac care unit, or CCU, to oversee the immediate recovery of patients who have required interventional procedures and need intensive medical observation.
The hospital's ICU also offers a family-centered environment with open visitation and provisions for family needs. The ICU offers private space for a family member to stay with their loved one at all hours. This room is adjacent to the patient room, and offers a small desk with Internet access for a laptop computer. There are also three semi-private family spaces where families can meet and friends or church members can gather without disturbing the patient.
A dedicated medical director and nurse practitioner are on site to assist in the provision of intensive clinical care. A nurses' station located between each room provides nursing staff with central locations to do charting while windows at each station afford an unobstructed view of the rooms to allow nursing staff to keep an eye on each patient. And for patient and visitor security, security staff are available on the hospital premises 24 hours a day.

While there have been some speculations about the two of them engaging in a feud, there are currently no plans for CM Punk and Daniel Bryan to work against one another in a program from now until Wrestlemania 30.
The current plans for Big E Langston has him working a big match against Mark Henry at the Royal Rumble. The two will be selling a mentor and pupil story line on episodes of Monday Night Raw first.
It appears that Daniel Bryan will be moved into a feud with Bray Wyatt soon, as WWE has already scheduled them to work together on live events as practice.
Word going around is that despite doing the tease between John Cena and Randy Orton at the end of the Survivor Series last night, the two of them are not expected to feud until Wrestlemania.
Prior to forming the massively popular British Bulldogs tag team, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith were booked in a long feud in both Canada and Japan.
There's talks that WWE could use Ryback in a feud with Rey Mysterio to put over the popular masked performer in his return feud.
Despite the tease on Monday Night Raw this week, the Wyatt Family and the Shield are not expected to feud any time soon. Some within WWE are wanting to save that program for Wrestlemania 30.

I have had this amp for a week now. I use it with my new Baja 60s Tele and am overall very happy. The tone can't be beat for an amp that cost $329 at my local shop. The cool channel is beautiful but the hot channel doesn't have much overdrive or dirty sound that I was expecting. Which is why I gave it a 3 for features) To get much distortion out of the hot side you need to play it pretty loud. I just use my fender drive pedal and get just the right amount for my taste at the right volume. Overall its a fun amp. I would recommend it and the looks can't be beat.
plegge owns this item
I picked the Ramparte up yesterday from my local store and I have to say, wow! The look is just priceless and equally matches the more high end 'vintage handwired Clapton tweed amps'.
Now I must say don't be fooled into thinking your getting an amp with loads of features and this amp is designed to be easy to use and quick to start playing.
I use my Fender Mexican Telecaster a long with this amp and the two pair great together.
Now negatives, whilst the 'Cool input' is excellent and has just the right sweet spot, the 'Hot input' is somewhat lacking, however I was looking for a clean amplifier and I couldn't be disappointing.
For a good distorted tone I simply use a DS-1 running through a BD-2 and these pedals work great through the Ramparte.
Overall you're buying an amp for the price of a few pedals and you get what you pay for, yes it lacks more tone options but overall I'd match the clean sound to that of a Hod Rod deluxe/ Blues Junior and the amp looks a lot more appealing too.
Well done Fender on a beautiful little amp!
TelecasterDreamer owns this item
I just picked up this little 9 watt amp today and although I haven't had too much time to spend with it I believe I can safely say that "It comes as advertised". I'm not sure what other people are expecting when they purchase a product like this - at the price point that it is. For me it is ideally suited to my needs for this particular amp. It is used in a small studio / recreational room environment but I'm sure it could be used in larger rooms if mic'd. The "voicing" of the amp is pretty much "bang on" as advertised and demonstrated through the first few "YouTube" videos that exist at this point in time. The "cool" channel is fairly clean but not very bright - a feature that I like. The "hot" channel has more volume and gain (hence the name "hot") and seems to have more treble. I am hooking up a number of different Strat's and Telecasters and so far, everything sounds just fine. I haven't tried many pedals yet but plan to work those in as well. Owning a number of differnt amps like many players I think you have to take some time to match guitars, amps and effects. They don't always like each other. This amp seems to be generally very "friendly" and I think I'm not going to have any issues with any of my other gear. For my money - this amp "comes exactly as advertised".
DANGLOBAL owns this item
As soon as I saw this in stores, I was so excited to try one. I've been searching YouTube for videos on it, reading forums, reviews, etc. but nothing! So when I actually got the opportunity to try one, I didn't hesitate. This could have been the amp of my dreams: stupid easy to use, low wattage, nice and light, and looks that will make any head turn. Unfortunately after plugging several different guitars into it, I was disappointed. Everything sounded "boxy" and was nearly impossible to get a tone that I would want to use. The one decent sound I got out of it was a 50's reissue MIJ Stratocaster on the bridge pickup, going into the cool channel. I got some half decent country tones out of it, but still nothing to boast about. To sum it all up, I'm more then a bit disappointed in this amp, and hoping Fender will go back to the drawing board, get this amp out of the "boxy" category and into "the amp I can't do without" category! I believe in you Fender!
