We report combined first-principle and tight-binding (TB) calculations to simulate the effects of chemical edge modifications on structural and electronic properties. The C-C bond lengths and bond angles near the graphene nanoribbon (GNR) edge have considerable changes when edge carbon atoms are bounded to different atoms. By introducing a phenomenological hopping parameter t(1) for nearest-neighbor hopping to represent various chemical edge modifications, we investigated the electronic structural changes of nanoribbons with different widths based on the tight-binding scheme. Theoretical results show that addends can change the band structures of armchair GNRs and even result in observable metal-to-insulator transition.

So you've started your "New Year, New You" routine--maybe you joined a gym, took a lap around the block, or stocked up on new workout clothes and healthier foods. Way to go! (Another idea? Try our AMAZING 6-Day, No Cook Diet.) This can only mean good things for your health, right?
In most cases, yes. But there is a chance that making big changes can lead to bad reactions if you have specific allergies or sensitivities. Not that we want to give anyone an excuse to ditch their diet or cut their workouts short (We are all about the resolutions, trust me!), but it is important to be aware of the things that might put you at risk. So, from the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, here are a few ways to make sure that your resolutions are truly the healthiest ones for you.
- Check food labels and ingredients.
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, chances are you've been aware of it for a while and are already vigilant about doing this. But it's a good thing to keep in mind if you're trying out new recipes or buying new foods like energy bars or ready-to-eat meals, which can contain common allergens like nuts and soy.
- Watch out for allergens at the gym.
- Exercise outdoors with caution.
- Don't overdo it!
Has a health resolution ever backfired on you? Tweet us at @amandaemac and @SELFmagazine!

From Drew
I am really enjoying Press Row. I listen everyday on the way home.
I'm going to be out of town this weekend, but here's something you can talk about along with the Vols (Man, you whiffed on Cuonzo huh) and the tournament and stuff. What would you do with the kind of money Miggy Cabrera just got?
If you could answer it in the 5-at-10 too, then I'll be able to see it.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Drew —
Thanks for the kind words and reading and listening. Been crazy but it's been a lot of fun too.
We have been tickled with the response Paschall and the TFP sports editor have been getting on Press Row from 3-6 p.m. on ESPN 105.1 FM and here attimesfreepress.com. The feedback and the give-and-take with the callers has been excellent, so thanks to everyone for that. Maybe we found something that benefits us from talking too much, huh?
In case you guys missed it, the Detroit Tigers gave Miguel Cabrera a 10-year, $292 million extension. That's crazy coin. Insane.
That's $29 million a year. Guaranteed.
Here's how we'd break it down.
Got to figure between 45-50 percent in taxes, right? So let's just make it an easy 50 and include fees and agents and such. Still, that's $14.5 million, which is way better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
We'd put $5 million a year into a retirement fund. We'd then give another $5 million to the Mrs. 5-at-10, because she's the saver in the family and let her manage the day-to-day stuff. We've been known to blow through some folding money and pick up the check or a couple dozen rounds of 'Co-Colas' in our day.
So we'd have roughly $4.5 We'd join Augusta National. We'd become a big-shot Auburn booster — and in the waning days of the NCAA, it would be even more fun to be a big money booster. We'd likely bar, and we practice insane acts of random kindness. Whatever popped up, we'd throw money at it.
We'd live our live being that guy.
Good times indeed.
From Sportsfan
Jay - I thoroughly enjoyed the 1st weekend of March Madness. Love to see the underdogs pull the upsets. As you know, I'm older than I look. I'm really bothered by the apparent traveling that's never called. For the mailbag...What's up with 3 steps after picking up the dribble and sliding the pivot foot? I come from a land where both would have been called traveling.
Sportsfan —
Great point, as usual. The transition from a step-and-a-half to three has been consistent and now it's complete. (Side note: We did see an NBA ref call 'carrying' the other night. We thought that rule had been abolished.)
As the NFL rule changes — errrr, rope-a-dope — have gotten more and more attention and debate, there are several basic rules that have really been morphed into a gray area of oblivion. Here's our Rushmore of sports rules that need to comeback now.
Traveling: Sportsfan is spot on. The benefit of the doubt that became that second step has become three, especially in the NBA. It would not take long to take back the travel, but whether they want to or not remains to be seen. (Side question: The continuation bucket after a foul, especially in the NBA, sometimes is met with as many as four steps and stumble. Charles? Turrrrible.)
The strike zone: Above the thigh is high? Egad, that's bad. Arm pit should be it. And no this view is not a Haiku.
Lane violation: If it's not a big deal, then take it out of the rule book. But to ignore it completely cheapens the NBA and the officials.
From Weena
Dude, sprry I missed your hoops thing. Are you having one for the Masters?
Put this in your little mailbag: What's your Rushmore of 1980s action movie heroes?
You da man.
Weena —
No sweat, and yes, we will have our regular Masterfully Mastering the Masters Mastery contest again. We had less than 10 entries for the the Last Shot challenge, so we punted it and will roll the prizes into the Masters event. That said, we still have the tie-breaker for Billy in Brainerd and scole023, who are the last two standing in the First-out, Last-in hoops challenge. Here are there entries: BiB (Nick Johnson of Arizona, Adreian Payne of Michigan State); scole023 (Shabazz Napier of UConn and the white dude from Louisville)
As for the Rushmore of action heroes, we'll go Arnold for sure. Stallone too. Then we'll go with Mel Gibson, who made Mad Max and a couple of Lethal Weapons in the 1980s and Steven Seagal, who is supremely underrated in this category. That's with all apologies to Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Whoshispecs. And you know are two guys that were pretty excellent action stars in the 1980s and carried that into other genres: Harrison Ford and Kurt Russell.
Man Kurt has dabbled in a lot of movie roles, you know? From Disney super-teen to Snake Pliskin to the President. Dude has made some cinema.
From chas9
For the Friday grab bag--Part A: Which team made a bigger March turnaround, The Vols or The Cats? Part B: If their coaching was a game of chicken (last one to flip the switch wins), who won, The Conz or The Cal?
9er —
Turnaround, we'll go with UT, hands down.
The Vols were teetering on not making the tournament and facing a real possibility that they are going to restart the mechanism. Now they're 40 minutes from the Elite Eight. Staggering.
As for the coaching chicken, that's coach Cal for sure. Who knows how many tricks or flips or plans or hijinks he's played throughout this season in an effort to motivate his team. (Hey, did you hear that most of them are freshmen? Who knew? Someone should do a story on that.)
The Conz's job-securing rallying was more about finding the right path — developing an offensive identity that starts inside and works out to a) highlight the strengths of Jarnell Stokes and b) downplay the hole at point guard — rather than flipping the switch. Should be fun.
And call us crazy, but I think we'll see both The Conz and The Cal in Sunday's Elite Eight.
From Billy in Brainerd
For the mailbag: Win or lose Friday, Cun-zo is back in K-town next season, right? Probably with an extension + a raise. So what does Stokes do? Jay-G...que the music...Should he stay or should he go?
BiB —
No doubt The Conz is back. If he wins tonight, he'll be in line for a three-year extension — and potential job offers from some big-boy programs.
And even if the Vols fall tonight, The Conz will get at least a one-year extension and maybe two.
As for Stokes, well, that's an interesting debate. The only NBA contracts for rookies that are guaranteed are for first-round picks, so the decision would be, "is he a first-round pick?"
He's certainly playing like a first-round pick — he's put together a 10-game stretch that is as good as anyone in the country. He's averaging better than 17 points and 13 rebounds in that stretch.
That said, ESPN NBA expert Chad Ford has him ranked No. 63 in the draft class. He's undersized to be a true, back-to-the-basket, low-block NBA power forward.
So there's a chance he could return, but in truth, it's hard to see his value being much higher than it is right now.
From BlueCat
Friend of mine point me to your blog -- good stuff and you seem to know your hoops.
I am really excited about Louisville and Kentucky playing in the tournament. What's your Rushmore of college sports rivalries and if Louisville and Kentucky fielded all-time all-star teams, who's the starting five and who do you think would win?
Welcome to the party and hope you stick around a while.
That's a great question. We're way behind so we're going to move pretty quickly here (and we feel for sure that a couple of our regulars like 9er and StuckinKent will chime in here too).
Here we go. Rushmore of Best College Rivalries: Auburn-Alabama football is No. 1; UNC-Duke hoops is No. 2; Louisville-Kentucky hoops has moved to No. 3 with a recent run; we'll take Ohio State-Michigan football as No. 4 over Army-Navy, OU-Texas and Notre Dame USC.
One that is sneaking into the conversation here lately is Clemson-South Carolina. Good stuff.
As for the all-time lineups, and we're going mainly on college numbers as opposed to NBA production so here's an entry from some one without the blue blood of a longtime UK backer (cue Chas9 in 5, 4, 3, 2...).
C — Pervis Ellison
PF — Wes Unseld
SF — Junior Bridgeman
SG — Darrell Griffith
PG — Russ Smith
Kentucky, 9er do you want to take the first swing here?
From BISpy4
You could have Phil to replace Tiger as the PGA's brightest star but he's actually what, six or seven years older than Tiger? Does Patrick Reed or Jordan Speith really get the crowds going? Rory could. Will he is the question.
Any chance you can get Warren Buffet on Press Row?
Spy —
Mickelson's time to carry that mantle may have passed. Fan favorite, yes. Guy that can move the meter for the general public, no really.
Reed and Speith, not so much, although Reed might could.
Bubba had a chance but he's a got a slew of shortcomings — within and outside of the game.
Rory definitely could, especially globally, but man the ups and downs of his last couple of years are puzzling.
We'll try on Warren Buffett.
Quick double-edged Rushmore:
Buffetts — Warren, Jimmy, Phoebe and the buffet at Wally's in East Ridge
Warrens — Warren Coolidge (White Shadow star center), Warren G, Warren Beatty and Warren Buffett.
Jay was named the Sports Editor of the Times Free Press in 2003 and started with the newspaper in May 2002 as the Deputy Sports Editor. He was born and raised in Smyrna, Ga., and graduated from Auburn University before starting his newspaper career in 1997 with the Newnan (Ga.) Times Herald. Stops in Clayton and Henry counties in Georgia and two years as the Sports Editor of the Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal preceded Jay's ...
March Madness has been great. Tonights games should be fun. . . .To bad for UTK Vol fans, they dont seem to be enjoying this run with their hatred for Cuonzo Martin. Those fans are stupid considering that even a sweet 16 run is never a consistent thing, even for the best of programs. You better enjoy it while you can even if you hate your coach and sign petitions to have him replaced. You got to beleive that Cuonzo cant wait to get a better job and get out of there, at this point he loves his players and doesnt like his fans, and you cant blame him. And his players love and now seem to be playing hard for him and the players probably hate the Vol fans also. Not a very warm and fuzzy story
Can't remember when I last saw a lane violation called. I'm OK with laxity in calling palming, because seeing guards make athletic cuts and weaves is more fun than stopping the game. Worst is the ever-shrinking top edge of the strike zone.
As hordes have noted, the MW is too hard to predict, so I won't be surprised if both UT and UK make the elite eight, but I give Michigan the edge over THE Vols.
Ricky P is a genius at preparing, and he's never lost in the round of 16. I named Russdiculous as one of my two top scorers this weekend, but, inconsistently, I predict Kentucky to edge out UL at the buzzer.
At Kentucky, John Calipari is 5-1 against Pitino at Louisville. The one loss came last season at Louisville's KFC Yum Center when Pitino had his best U of L team, Calipari his worst UK team. Even then, Louisville had to squeeze out an 80-77 win. Good rivalry Rushmore. I like Gators-Seminoles over Clemson-SC. And it's amazing how Texas' several rivalries have faded.
All-time UK starters is tough. And I don't know whether to base it on college alone, or consider the pro career that followed.
Center has to be Issel, though The Uniblocker may pass him in time. I'll start "Monster Mash" Mashburn and Kenny "Sky" Walker at forwards. And at guards, I'll play Tayshaun and Tony Delk.
UK's bench is what's most impressive, though: Macy, Chapman, Beard, Nash, Givens, Dampier, Wall, Patterson, Anderson, Rondo. And UK's second five would beat UofL's starters.
The governor of The Commonwealth has declared today Blue and Red day.
10 Ring, traveling to a point just south of Auburn this weekend. What can you advise on how to best deter Brain Eating Zombie War Eagle fans upon my arrival. Will a wreath of garlic help?
Action movies hero's in the '80s, Rutger Haurer was certainly a excellent figure of menace in such films such as "Night Hawks" with Stallone. Of course "Blade Runner" was one of Haurer's signal turns, in a movie packed with stars.
Maybe an anti Rushmore of 80's Action Hero villains is more apropos?
Alternate Rivalry games: ND-MI, TN-AL, GA-AU, TN-FLA...and what should have made your Rushmore, GA-FL!
I believe your Rushmore rest on two qualifications. First is if the Rivalries strong, and second, is the contest widely known by name like "World's Largest Cocktail Party," the "Iron Bowl," "Red River Rivalry" and such. Or maybe that's a stand alone Rushmore too?
A quick check of the leader board in the ESPN The Zone brackets contest shows a jgreeson792 in 9th place, with chas9wins a pitiful 54th place. Spy, being a spy, evidently used a super-secret alias I don't recognize. The 105.1 group is in a stellar 4395th place.

Victims of Greed: Shady Pet Owners Kill Cats and Dogs for Cash
The family dog goes missing. Healthy cats are euthanized. If Raymond Chandler and Walt Disney had collaborated on a film noir script, it might read something like this item from The Daily Mail.
The newspaper is reporting a rise in pet insurance fraud in Britain. Fake claims on U.K. pet policies have quadrupled in the past year, making it the fastest growing area of insurance claims.
Last year, $3 million (£1,929,900 pounds) was collected in pet insurance compared to $667,842 (£420,000 pounds) in 2009. Carys Clarke, an insurance fraud solicitor says that "between 2008 and 2010, the number of suspected fraud claims in the U.K. has increased by 440 percent."
Owners are killing their pets to claim early death payouts. Others work in conjunction with vets and present claims for treatment at double their regular cost.
"In addition to the loss of use and value of the animal, the deliberate destruction or maiming of an animal can also be disguised as an accident and deliberate destruction of an animal by a veterinary surgeon when unnecessary are also areas where fraud might arise," said Clark.
In 2010, more than two million cats and dogs were insured. Since any type of animal can be insured, experts expect a huge influx of bogus claims. The Association of British Insurers is now arranging a shared database of information about insured animals to more effectively detect fraud.

This is a pretty pendant. I only wish the rose gold and the yellow gold were more vibrant. They don't stand out as much as it shows in the picture. It is just the right size to wear.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We spent two weeks at the house in February and were lucky enough to wake up to clear blue skies and beautiful views across the laguna.every day.
The house itself is immaculately furnished with a contempary Asian feel and has it's own private pool and garden where we could relax after a hard day at the beach.
There is a free shuttle bus service which delivers you to the Laguna resort in under 5 minutes, from here we had the choice of using the Sheraton hotel's many facilities and restaurants or settling down on Bang Tao beach and swimming in the warm sea.
The beach itself has a number of local restaurants offering delicious fresh seafood at very reasonable prices. For our evening meals we found ourselves taking the short 2 minute walk to the main road where there is a fantastic selection of both Thai and western restaurants.
We have visited Phuket many times before but both the accommodation and location of this house were superb and we are already making plans to book again for next year.

text: On September 22, 1997, at 1800 central daylight time, a Cessna 182, N7331Q, owned and operated by a private pilot collided with the terrain when it touched down short of the prepared grass surface at a private airstrip in Dassel, Minnesota. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The local flight which was operating under 14 CFR Part 91 originated from the private airstrip at 1730.The pilot reported that the accident occurred during his second landing and that he was attempting to land a little shorted then he did during the first landing. He reported that he thought he was on a proper glideslope for the landing, but when he reduced the power he heard a "whaping" noise and the airplane pitched down as he crossed the threshold. The airplane contacted the terrain in a nose low attitude collapsing the nose gear prior to coming to a stop.The pilot reported, "... the grass preceding the threshold had not been cut and was long enough to hide a 15-18" sloped embankment at the end of the runway. The taller grass preceding the end of the runway evidently gave me the impression the runway was lower causing me to come in on too low of an approach and strike top 3" of embankment."

I think I know most of you, but if you and I have never spoken face-to-face, please drop me a line. I intend to travel the kingdom to vist at least every region, and I'd like to visit every branch that has even the possibility of YR activity. If there is a date/time that would be the most convenient for me to come see you, let me know. I have deputised Lord Pieter Rausch as Gulf War YR Coordinator. Since he's done a lot of the early work, I saw no reason to change horses in mid-stream. I would also like as many of us as possible to get together soon and review the YR program as it has been and as we would like it to be. I'd like to do this before Gulf War, but that may not be practical. Look at you calendars and see what will work for you. Probable locations: Bryn Gwlad, Rosenfeld. Other locations would be possible as well. I look forward to upcoming events. Please encourage event stewards to include YR where appropriate, and have notice of YR events included in Black Star announcements.

Don't tell me The Globe's Not Here!
Apr. 9, 2009
What will I do without The Globe? Am I supposed to carry my computer to the kitchen table each morning to get the news "on-line†before going to work? What about my lifetime ritual of going to the door and picking up the paper before I put on the coffee?

GANGSTER SQUAD review
GANGSTER SQUAD is a big over-ripe plum of a film. It's the kind of mid-budget studio flop that we don't really see any more, where you can almost see a cigar-chomping producer's thumbprints all over the celluloid: a bunch of disparate crowd-pleasing elements (flashy violence, all-star cast, sharp suits, men-on-a-mission) that execs think will be enough to fuel that crucial opening weekend in and of themselves, which have been slapped together by filmmakers who resolve to worry about populating it with characters, emotion and intrigue at a later date. Or, as is the case with Ruben Fleischer's GANGSTER SQUAD, never.
SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED review
I made this time-travel comedy my first movie of 2013 after hearing good things from trusted parties, and despite a distribution strategy that seems half-hearted at best I was glad I made the effort to track it down.
Ultimate sulky girl-crush Aubrey Plaza plays Darius, a young woman at odds with the world who finds herself interning at a magazine for dickheads and doing assorted donkey work for flashy a-hole journalists. One such flashy a-hole (played by Jake Johnson, who initially distracts purely by dint of not being Mark Ruffalo but eventually turns in the best performance of the film in what will hopefully be a breakout role for him) suggests a puff-piece based on a recent classified ad, that states simply: "Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. I have only done this once before. SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED." After getting the commission, the journo sets off into the sticks with Darius and another intern, the intensely geeky Arnau, to find who placed the ad and start putting a piece together. However, the disaffected Darius begins to warm to the idea of an adventure and, particularly, the enticing prospect of time travel…
SIGHTSEERS review
I'm sure my first viewing of SIGHTSEERS was affected by the burden of expectation I had placed on Ben Wheatley and his creative co-collaborators after the brilliant KILL LIST, but then even when taking that into account I have to admit that the film didn't really work for me.
SIGHTSEERS sees a pair of social misfits in the nascent period of a romantic relationship, who embark on a caravanning holiday (their first together) that hums with the promise of sexual liberation and discovery for, particularly, the childlike Maggie, who lives with an overbearing mother and leads an otherwise sheltered existence. Chris is eager to show Maggie the ways of the world, whether sexual and pastoral, but their holiday is quickly derailed after the pair accidentally run over a man Chris had earlier admonished for some casual littering. Appreciating the kick of karmic retribution that this incident afforded them – or, more accurately, developing a taste for murder and death – the pair continue on with their holiday leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
EXCISION review
I'm imagining watching EXCISION with a friend or family member, someone who watches a movie maybe once every ten days or so, whose favourite film is either ANCHORMAN or GLADIATOR or THE MATRIX, who feels relatively au fait with perversity after recently reading Fifty Shades of Grey, who doesn't obsessively catalogue obscure cult movies, has nevered watched an anime, and thinks Dario Argento is the pizza you can get with an egg in the middle. Someone normal, in other words. 99% of the general popluation.
In my hypothetical viewing of the film with this person, it invariably ends with him or her turning towards me and saying, confidently, "That was the worst film I've ever seen."
At this point I smile condescendingly and say, Ah, but didn't you enjoy the performances? Did you not get a kick out of seeing shiny 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord reinvent her teen-queen persona as a fetid, pestilential weirdo? Did you not enjoy seeing Traci Lords, of all people, giving a genuinely funny, deeply felt and convincing turn as a mother at the end of her parenting tether?
"Nope", they say.

Twitter Roundup: A Better Amercia
Last night, the Romney campaign released an iOS application that allows supporters to superimpose pro-Romney text over images and share the resulting photo with friends.
Officially called "With Mitt," and instantly dubbed "Mittstagram," there was one slight hitch — one of the overlays featured the slogan "A Better Amercia." Naturally, we're going to have to ask Romney for his Amercian birth certificate. There's no way around it…
If Mitt Romney wins I'm moving to Amercia.

I could've just stood there all day.
"Huy, Ge! Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?"
I started. Sarah was at her door, looking at me worriedly. "Okay ka lang? Parang bigla ka lang na frozen jan."
I grinned. "Okay lang, sige, uwi na ako."
I got into my car, and drove home. The entire way there, I couldn't help but rub my cheek and laugh to myself. It was as if Sarah had given my laughing gas. I couldn't stop giggling. Ito ba ang feeling kapag nakikilig? Grabe naman to...lalaki pa naman ako...
I entered my home. Ken was on the couch, texting someone, and I could hear mom in the kitchen.
"I home!"
Mom came out to greet me. "O, bakit ngayon ka lang Ge, gabi na ah..."
"Sinundo ko po kasi sila Sarah sa Airport."
"Talaga? Hindi ka ba nakita ng mga press?"
"Hindi naman po, nakatago po ako sa kotse nila."
"Oh. Grabe effort mo dun sa babae na yun ah...Dapat magmeet kami ng personal soon."
"Sige, promise po yan."
Days past. We kept in touch through texting, but it wasn't the same as seeing her in person. There was a big buzz about her returning, but she hadn't made an appearance at Asap yet. She went straight to Iloilo for her concert tour with Martin. I wanted to go watch, but my schedule didn't permit, and I was really starting to push my luck. I was a taping for budoy every single day, trying to get the first 30 episodes finished by October.
"Kuya Gerald, What are you thinking about?" Cobbe asked, as he climbed onto my lap.
"Huh? nothing..."
"Okay...kuya, when can I see Ate sarah?"
"Soon Cobbe" I promised.
"Okay kuya...I have to go now, Direk is calling me."
I smiled as he slipped off my lap and ran towards direk. He was such a cute kid. He reminded me of Ken when we were little kids. Sarah would love him.
"Ge." I looked up and saw ate Nhila walking towards me. "ate Nhils...ano po?"
"Wala lang... Just wanted to reminded you that you have a Globe presscon tomorrow at 2pm. You better not be late."
I nodded. "Okay."
"Also, after the presscon, you ang Sarah have to shoot some short commercials for the company."
"Oh yeah, nang dun din pala si Sarah!"
She shook her head. "Ikaw talaga Ge, parang hindi yata ako makapaniwala na nakalimutan mo ang detail na yun."
I waved her away as I dived for my phone.
Oh Ge..musta?"
Walang Gege, ge lang? :(
Ahahaha sige na nga, Gege..ano?
Wala lang..may Presscon tayo bukas!
Oo nga...ngayon mo lang nalaman? Sinabi ko na kaya sa yo...
Oh...Talaga? Sorry hindi ko nja pansin....
heheheh okay lang yan gege....sge may photoshoot pa ako....see you tomorrow! :)
Bye Warden!!! :D
Presscon day today! :)
I arrived early at the venue, but nevertheless, there was already a bunch of reporters waiting. I greeted them, and made my way to the front of the room, and settled down on the couch, getting ready for the presscon.
I entertained their questions, even having a little fun. They didn't ask me anything to sensitive, so I didn't have to be too protective.
I looked over to the side, and saw ate Anna signal to me. I nodded, and looked to the press.
"Please welcome our newest Globe endorser, Mr. Gerald Anderson!"
He walked in, taking place beside me, all smiles. "Good Morning po"
We seemed to amuse the press, with our antics. To be honest, it was his fault. He kept staring at me. I wanted to melt. He sat even closer to me, and tickled me while I answered questions. I kept stuttering and glaring at him. All he gave me was a smirk. Lagot ka sa akin Gerald.
After the conference, we went aside with the director and cameraman to shoot a few promos for Globe.
"ikaw ha...kainis ka kanina."
"ahahah ang cute mo kasi eh."
"Ikaw..." I pinched his ear.
"Aray! Aray! Sige na, sige na! Sorry! Ito...ang sakit kaya..." He rubbed his ear.

Short bursts of physical activity can ease fibromyalgia symptoms. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Arthritis Research & Therapy have shown that encouraging patients to undertake 'Lifestyle Physical Activity' (LPA) can markedly increase the average number of steps taken per day and produce clinically relevant reductions in perceived disability and pain.
Kevin Fontaine, from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, worked with a team of researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center campus to investigate the effects of 30 minutes of LPA, five to seven days a week, on physical function, pain and other measures of disability in 84 fibromyalgia patients. He said, "Fibromyalgia is estimated to occur in 2% of the U.S. general population, affecting about eight times more women than men. Although exercise has been shown to be beneficial, the symptoms often create obstacles that deter many from exercising consistently enough to derive benefits".
LPA involves moderate-intensity physical activity based around everyday life such as taking the stairs instead of using an elevator, gardening and walking. In this study, participants were taught to perform LPA intense enough to cause heavy breathing, but not so heavily that they could not hold a conversation. During subsequent sessions participants were taught self-monitoring of LPA, goal setting, dealing with symptom flares, problem solving strategies to overcome barriers to being more physically active, as well as instruction in finding new ways to integrate short bouts of LPA into their daily lives.
At the end of the study, the participants randomized to LPA increased their average daily steps by 54%. Compared to the controls, the LPA group also reported significantly less perceived functional deficits and less pain. Speaking about these results, Fontaine said, "The nature of fibromyalgia's symptoms, the body pain and fatigue, make it hard for people with this malady to participate in traditional exercise. We've shown that LPA can help them to get at least a little more physically active, and that this seems to help improve their symptoms".

You know that pit in your stomach you get when you look at the heating bill in the winter time, always wanting it to be lower than it is?
Well, we have some suggestions that will keep you warm through the winter and save you money.
"One of the easiest things you can do is just roll out some insulation in your attic and one of the great things about that is utility companies like Nipsco, they will pay 40 percent of any improvement you do with insulation in the attic and they will pay you up to 450 dollars and usually it's going to cost you from 1,500 to 2,000 dollars," says Director of IUSB Center for a Sustainable Future Mike Keen.
In addition to that, Keen says you should change your filters in your home. You want to do that after winter and after the summer. You also want to insulate your pipes and change your light bulbs. Keen suggests using compact fluorescent lights or LED's. He says these bulbs have a longer life and save you energy. Weather stripping your windows and doors, closing your blinds and putting plastic on your windows are also good ideas.
Other things that will save you money has to do with behavior. Keen suggests getting a programmable thermostat. If you get one you will be able to set it so the temperature goes down when you sleep and goes back up about 30 minutes before you wake up.
"For every degree you turn your thermostat down you are going to save at least one percent of your energy," explains Keen.
Wearing the right cloths is also key. That means sweatshirts, warm socks and slippers. Also, make sure you have blankets around.
"Those kinds of things become part of your life style and you don't feel like you are sort of depriving yourself, it's just a cozy warm lifestyle and you will be happier for it, healthier and you will have a little more money in your pocket," says Keen.
Other ways you can save money:
1. Energizing Indiana will do a
They will spend an hour in your house, look at your utility bills and give you suggestions on how to save money. They will also leave behind 30 dollars' worth of water saving devices and light bulbs.
2. Most utility companies offer rebates if you buy and install a programmable thermostat
3. Other utility companies like Nipsco will actually pay you a percentage for any insulation improvements you do in your attic.

They find themselves in a country that might be a piece of Australia towed across the world. The Greek spring with its white and piercing light, its floods of sun, its clean sharp water and, above all its exiled eucalypts, is closer to home than anything they have seen since they left Fremantle. 23
As the troopship MV Cameronia headed across the Mediterranean for Piraeus in April 1941, the men of the 2/6th Battalion AIF were briefed by Captain 'Bully' Hayes on the nature of the country they were going to defend. In the words of Lieutenant Jo Gullet, Hayes had read the available 'literature and did his manful best':
They [the Greeks, were not], as most of us might have thought, exclusively engaged in the fish and chip business. They had a splendid military tradition and they were currently belting the hell out of the Italians, but in times past they had also thrashed the Turks and also the Persians. The Turks were only next door, but how the hell they came to be fighting the Persians he could not say … They had other claims to our respect. Greeks it appeared were very strong on culture. They had invented democracy f'instance and the Olympic Games too … Soon you would see their wonderful old buildings. The Parthenon f'instance. Something to do with their religion. A sort of church. Damn near two and a half thousand years old, so we must expect it to be in a rather clapped-out condition, or so the sailors said. Well, that's government departments for you. Same in Greece as anywhere else … There was no point in asking him any questions because we now knew as much about Greece as he did himself. We believed him. 24
As the 2/6th left the Cameronia, their commanding officer, Colonel Hugh Wrigley, determined that his unit would not straggle in a rag-tag fashion through foreign streets towards its camp. They were inspected, fallen in properly and with the battalion band playing Waltzing Matilda, they marched through Athens, as 'Jo' Gullet recalled, 'not a little pleased with ourselves'.
In Greece the Australians were made to feel welcome and at home. It was spring and as units either marched or drove through the streets to their camp at Dafni, crowds waved and threw flowers into the road. On leave they had their pictures taken, visited the Parthenon and met the guardsmen of the crack Greek regiment – the Evzones. Kenneth Slessor felt that there was a 'perceptible affinity' between the men of the AIF, the 'Argonauts of the southern world', and the Athenians who were the 'descendants of an age-old race whose monuments overshadow them'. Soon the city bars and cafes were crowded with Australians eating and drinking with Greek civilians and soldiers:
In all those places where the Australians meet Greek fighting-men straight from the front line, you see them clustered together, exchanging broken conversation. 25
Keen interest was displayed in the local beer, wine and spirits. In a letter home Sergeant Robert Robertson, HQ 1st Australian Corps, provided a detailed account of what was readily available in the Athens tavernas:
Much time had been spent on the transport discussing what type of alcohol would be available and at what cost. But the results surpassed our wildest dreams. It was abundant, it was cheap. Beer brewed from the mountain streams was glorious and always served very cold at 18 dracma or 10 pence Australian the bottle. Koniak, a fierce form of brandy, could be bought at 50 dracmas the bottle or 2 drachs a nip. The same applied to 'Ouzo' … Proclamations posted in Athenian cafes stated that the sale of Ouzo was forbidden to members of His Britannic Majesty's Forces … The plonk merchants were in heaven and the resultant effects were not in the interest of the army. 26
The Australian commander, Lieutenant General Blamey, met the King of Greece, George II, who spoke English fluently and with whom he sat chatting and smoking for 20 minutes:
The King [said Blamey] struck me as an easy and friendly man … eager and quick to respond and remarkably youthful in his manner. He … said how delighted he was to have the Australians in his country, since his dad had always admired them and had followed their deeds closely. 27
But beneath the initial colour and euphoria none could escape the fact that this was a nation at war. Athens was a city of women, children and old people, as most of the men of military age were at war in the mountains of Albania, and life was hard:
Everything was grey and the people undernourished … casualty lists were read from the corners and it was touching to hear the women crying and screaming. 28
During their brief interlude in Athens the men of the AIF were prepared for war. As Private Charles Robinson of the 2/2nd Field Ambulance recalled:
In the morning we were issued will forms and filled them out sprawling under the olive trees. No one could ever accuse the army of subtlety! 29
Soon the Australians were hurrying north to meet the anticipated German invasion. They journeyed through a spectacular landscape of mountains and river plains with place names out of ancient history and legend – Thiva (Thebes), Mount Parnassus, Mount Olympus. Everywhere, as they moved through the countryside in railway wagons or in military vehicles, there was the same warm welcome:
People lined the track cheering, smiling, and calling 'goodbye'. Little did I realise the significance of this when a young despine (Greek girl) threw me a bunch of wild flowers, and with a wistful look in her eyes, called … goodbye! 30
As the 6th Australian Division's fighting units began arriving at Piraeus from mid-March 1941, planning for the defence of Greece by the British force commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Sir Henry 'Jumbo' Wilson, and the Greek commander, General Alexander Papagos, was well under way. It was clear that the initial German attack would be across the Greek–Bulgarian border in Thrace, but there was a real danger that German units would also strike through south-eastern Yugoslavia and then turn south and enter Greece via the Monastiri Gap and the Florina Valley. If the Greek and British forces were too far forward towards the Bulgarian border then they could be outflanked from the rear by this German movement through southern Yugoslavia. Consequently, it was decided that the British would hold a line from the sea through Mount Olympus, stretching north to Veria and then bending west towards Florina: the so-called Vermion–Olympus Line.
On Sunday, 6 April 1941, Lieutenant General Blamey learnt that from that day Lustre Force would be on its own. The Germans had attacked in Libya, driven the British back, and it would now be impossible for Wavell to send the 7th Australian Division or the Independent Polish Brigade to Greece. At 5.30 am on that same day in Athens, the German Ambassador, Prince Erbach-Schönburg, presented a note from his government to inform the Hellenic Government that Germany was at war with Greece. The Greeks were given no time for comment, for also at 5.30 am units of the German 12th Army moved into Greece across the Bulgarian border and into southern Yugoslavia.
As the German campaign in Greece opened, they dealt their enemies a severe blow. On the night of 6 April 1941, Able Seaman Patrick Bridges, RAN, was aboard HMS Hyacinth in Piraeus, Greece's premier port and an essential link in the British supply line back to Egypt. He recorded the destruction of Piraeus by the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) in his diary:
Sunday April 6, 1941: Mass air attack here tonight. Hit 1 ship full of TNT, which burnt for 4 hours then blew up. A sheet of the ship's side tore through our bridge and killed Lft Humphrey. Ship broke away from the jetty and we had to abandon it. We pulled it back and tied up and then run the gauntlet through blazing oil and burning ships and magnetic mines with only half a ship's company.
Monday April 7, 1941: Piraeus is still burning furiously. Sky is black with oil smoke and ammunition and dynamite is still exploding. Both our skiffs are holed. Bridge and boat deck are either wrecked or burnt. Great lumps of steel and shrapnel all over the deck. Drifting wreckage all over harbour. 1 plane came over to see damage … Waiting for raiders now. 31
The 'ship full of TNT' was the merchantman Clan Fraser, and the blast as it blew up was felt kilometres away throughout Athens. After the raid, which devastated Piraeus, only five of the port's twelve berths were useable, dozens of small service craft had been destroyed, many skilled workers had been killed and many others quit their jobs.
By 9 April 1941, despite gallant resistance from the border forts on the Greek–Bulgarian border, Greek forces in the north-east were facing defeat. Hitler's Panzers of the Second Armoured Division had swept round the western end of the Greek line near Lake Doirani and down the valley of the Axios River towards Thessaloniki, threatening to cut off Greece's Eastern Macedonian Army. At 1.00 pm on 9 April, the Greek commander in eastern Macedonia capitulated. In southern Yugoslavia the German 40th Corps drove through the hapless Yugoslavs. The SS 'Adolf Hitler' Division now turned south towards Greece. Coming through the Monastiri Gap on 10 April, the division crossed into Greece and took Florina. At this stage, German progress was somewhat hampered by muddy roads that had also been cratered by British and Australian demolition units and repeated attacks by small numbers of RAF fighters and bombers. By 10 April, however, tanks of the German 9th Armoured Division and infantry of the 'Adolf Hitler' Division were pressing on towards Vevi and the Vevi Pass.

Will this be possible with the new heroic/Zul'aman set while still holding on to enough stam?

Will this be possible with the new heroic/Zul'aman set while still holding on to enough stam?
With T5 Gear, yes.
Yes, it is doable.
I'm working out a list of items/gems/chants which will get me uncrushable.
I plan to have 3 armors sets with this gear:
#1) Uncrushable and Expertise from neck and bracers for threat. This is the hardest, since the expertise neck and bracers dont contribute much to uncrushable.
#2) Uncrushable with the most stam I can have while being uncrushable.
#3) Max stam with expertise items, but crushable.
:o, can't wait to see it
to be it you gotta have 107% miss+dodge+parry+block right?
ah ok, thanks
It'll be a mix between ZA gear/badge rewards
Leo's belt (for sure I remember this)
and various gear swaps that are t5 or t5 equiv. You'll be good to go though.
The main reason ZA gear help is that it has several pieces that are great (high stam and block value) that have very high block rating. Like the helm for example.
Normally block rating sucks, but when youre trying to get passively uncrushable it rules.
The ZA gear leads me towards wanting passive uncrushability because it has gear pieces that I WANT to use for their stam/block value, which also give me a great boost towards uncrushability.

EvaluationsPlease tell us, what is your maturity level, as a person? Are you still at level 1 or 2? Or do you belong to the elite group of people who have achieved level 4, or even 5? And can you please put that number on a badge that you will wear all the time? Because that would make it so much easier for the others to decide if they want to hang out with you.

Question: I have heard that my ancestor Edmund Hawes (d. 1693) of Yarmouth, Massachusetts has a royal line? Can you tell me if this is true or not?
Answer: Your theory is true on his royal ancestry according to the book by Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants to the American Colonies of the United States (Baltimore, 2004). On pages 422-3 it outlines his descent from King William I of Scotland (d. 1214).

During the initial climb after takeoff, the engine lost power, and the airplane stalled and impacted the ground. A postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no mechanical malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation. The fuel selector was observed in the off range after the accident and immediate postaccident testing of the selector valve revealed no mechanical anomalies. While the pilot's cockpit actions pertaining to the fuel selector valve following the loss of engine power could not be determined, the lack of a preimpact mechanical failure of the engine or its systems, and the lack of an issue related to fuel quality are consistent with the fuel selector valve being in the off range for takeoff. Inspection and operational testing of the fuel selector valve was reportedly performed as required during the last annual and 100-Hour inspections; however, no guidance was given to maintenance personnel on how to perform the operational shutdown test. Different interpretations of what constituted proper engine shutdown was noted by the mechanics that performed the last annual and 100-Hour inspections. The mechanic who performed the last 100-Hour inspection approximately 6 months prior to the accident failed to detect that the fuel selector valve guard and stop did not contain required markings which clearly depict the off range for the pilot.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

BEARPAW Women's Adele Winter Boots 8 8
Best boots I've ever owned! I love love love my bear paws! I've had these boots for over a year and wear them all the time. I still get complements on them even after a year of constantly wearing them. I live where there is snow on the ground 2/3 of the year and wore them almost every day. I'm just now buying a new pair because I've worn out the other pair. I'm sure they would have lasted longer (maybe another 2 years) if our winters weren't as rough. I highly reccomend them. So much better than UGGs. February 15, 2014
feel great these boots are sooo comffy to were and they feel good no mater how long you have them on for. March 20, 2013
excellent boots great to have they r very comfortable and last forever and still in great condition but u have to take care of them February 20, 2013
Love my BearPaws! Very comfortable, and warm. Great for Nebraska winters! Wear them everyday. January 30, 2013
Cozy, Warm, Stylish I received these boots as a birthday present from my husband. I love, love, love these boots. They are very well made and warm. The braid around the ankle adds that special touch of style and sets them apart from the usual "Ugg type" boot. January 29, 2013
Terrific Boot! Very sharp looking boot. My daughter is a teenager and very hard to please. She loves the look, feel and fit of the boot. All of her friends asked where she got it because they want to order a pair. The braiding on the boot is really a stand out feature. Love the boot! January 22, 2013
Next best thing to Uggs I own 2 pair of Uggs and have been looking for an additional pair that were more affordable. I have tried several other brands but they fit bad, made poorly and were cheap looking. The pair of Bearpaw boots I ordered online fit great and they don't look cheap. A nice alternative to Uggs! January 16, 2013
love bear paws These boots are warm, but still feel "light" inside. I wear a size 71/2 shoe, so I had to go up to a size 8 in this boot. Still OK because I like to wear thicker socks. I even put gel insoles in older pair that I had worn down. I do not baby these and had even had to hose one pair off after a mess in the mud. They really hold up. I currently own 3 pair and used to own a 4th pair that I had to say goodbye to when I eventually wore through the sole...after years of hard use! December 30, 2012
