good pick on Van Horn, i almost picked him over Mike Miller
Argh... Bradley was so close!!! Good pick c_prej
good pick on Van Horn, i almost picked him over Mike Miller
HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
I came really close to taking Wally, but just went w/ Maggette cuz he will be good for longer
Keith Van Horn was supposed to be my next pick...smh damn lol
"I want ONLY 9 eyebrows in the starting lineup for the Hornets next year." I typed this before the draft lottery
ok very cool! thanks so much for putting all of this together.
Thanks you Trell for Selecting Stockton, because i would have HAD to select him at my spot if he stayed lol.
No, think it was an excellent pic, such a value that I would have had to take him is what I was saying.
We're starting to have a problem with some "veteran" members who know they are on the clock but aren't making their picks. If you don't want in the league, just let me know and you'll be replaced, we already have a waiting list of three people.
I think if you check the board and see you're 5 spots away just send you top five over in order and not even worry about it! Will make it so quick. And once we finish the draft this will be a lot more fun. Although I'd be liking the draft a ton of we could just knock it out .. Like a round a day.
Heck if you don't feel like doing that just let me know you don't feel like participating in the draft but you still want to play and I'll sim the rest of your picks.
Dang, I hope this pick works out for me.
guess it matters if you're trying to win now or later. If it's later, he may be useful trade bait, although I doubt you'll get anyone's first for him.
Time to sim some picks! lol
The sim better not take the guy i want lol

Nats fans debate whether Teddy is to blame for the season's end.
WASHINGTON - It was a historical win and a historical loss. Teddy Roosevelt won the Nationals President Race for the first time in seven years on Wednesday and scored two more victories this week.
Shortly after Teddy's unexpected success, the Nationals' victorious season came to a quick end with a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday night.
Was it Teddy's curse? WTOP asked Nats fans what they thought.

- Function of the ATP-dependent Metalloprotease FtsH during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis (2008)
- The analysis of the function of the ftsH gene of Bacillus subtilis started about ten years ago. It was shown at that time that an ftsH knockout was viable, but exhibited a pleiotropic phenotype. Cells are sensitive to salt and heat shock, exhibit filamentous growth, are difficult to be transformed and are almost unable to sporulate. Despite the severe phenotype caused by the absence of the ftsH gene, the precise functions of this protein remained unclear. This PhD thesis presents data to elucidate the function of ftsH during sporulation. Furthermore, it describes the construction of a cold-inducible expression system. The major finding of this thesis is that the FtsH protease interferes with the synthesis and/or phosphorylation of Spo0A, the master regulator during initiation of sporulation called phase 0. In the ftsH knockout, the amount of Spo0A is greatly reduced, and the small amounts present are inactive. When the wild-type spo0A allele was replaced by an IPTG-inducible allele coding for mutant Spo0A protein being fully active in the absence of phosphorylation (Spo0A-Sad67), spores were formed at a normal rate in an ftsH knockout. Again, this result indicates that FtsH is clearly involved in the formation of active Spo0A and that this protease is only essential during stage 0 of sporulation. To become active, Spo0A needs to be phosphorylated by the multi-component system called phosphorelay. Since no active Spo0A is present in an ftsH knockout, it was hypothesized that FtsH has to degrade one or more negative regulator(s) either preventing the phosphorylation of Spo0A or/and being involving in its rapid dephosphorylation. The further analysis focused on four antagonists of the phosphorelay, three Rap phosphatases being involved in the dephosphorylation of Spo0F~P, and Spo0E which targets Spo0A~P. When a null allele in any one of them was combined with the ftsH knockout, the wild-type amount of Spo0A was restored only in the case of the ftsH spo0E knockout and the sporulation frequency was increased by two to three orders of magnitude in all double knockouts, but remained below 1%. Since overexpression of Spo0E reduces the sporulation frequency and removal of the gene from the genome has an opposite effect, a direct interaction between FtsH and Spo0E was envisaged. In vitro proteolysis assays with purified GST-FtsH and GST-Spo0E showed that Spo0E is indeed a target of FtsH. In contrast, the two homologs of Spo0E, YisI and YnzD, remained stable upon incubation with FtsH. Since all three proteins are distinguished by a C-terminal extension of about 25 amino acids present in Spo0E, but not in the two other phosphatases, these additional amino acids could serve as a target for FtsH. When two mutant versions of Spo0E, Spo0E94 and Spo0E11, with truncated C-terminal ends were analyzed, they turned out to be stable in the presence of FtsH. When the C-terminal 25 amino acids was transferred to YnzD, this fusion protein became unstable when incubated with FtsH. In conclusion, the C-terminal end of Spo0E confers instability to this enzyme. Since a spo0E knockout in a wild-type background does not result in a sporulation frequency close to 100% and a combination of a spo0E and an ftsH knockout raises the sporulation frequency only close to 1%, it can be concluded that there are additional targets for FtsH interfering with the synthesis of active Spo0A. Moreover, it is likely that FtsH also exerts a function late during sporulation. It could be shown that SpoVM, a small peptide essential for spore morphogenesis, inhibits the proteolytic activity of the B. subtilis FtsH protease in vitro. It can be inferred that SpoVM also inhibits activity of FtsH during sporulation, and in the absence of SpoVM, FtsH will degrade at least one protein essential for successful completion of sporulation. When the intracellular proteomes of spoVM+ and spoVM- cells were compared, a total of 83 proteins were identified being either completely absent or present in reduced amounts in the absence of the peptide. Analysis of the expression of the spoVM gene revealed that cells started to synthesize the spoVM transcript at stage 2 while the SpoVM peptide accumulated at stage 4. The 5´ untranslated region of the spoVM transcript has been identified to act as a negative regulator of its own transcription or translation. Furthermore, a cold-inducible expression system has been constructed allowing intra- and extracellular production of recombinant proteins. This expression system makes use of a two-component signal transduction system, which senses changes in the fluidity of the cytoplasmic membrane.

It was a flu season like no other. With the H1N1 virus running rampant throughout the country, people lined up in droves to try and attain one of the coveted vaccines. What was not known was the effect this largely untested, rushed to market, inoculation was to have on the unsuspecting throngs. Within days, feverish folk throughout the country convulsed, collapsed, and died, only to be reborn. With a taste for brains, blood, and bodies, these modern-day zombies scoured the lands for their next meal. Overnight the country became a killing ground for the hordes of zombies that ravaged the land.
This is the story of Michael Talbot, his family, and his friends: a band of ordinary people trying to get by in extraordinary times. When disaster strikes, Mike, a self-proclaimed survivalist, does his best to ensure the safety and security of those he cares for. Book one of the Zombie Fallout Trilogy follows our lead character at his self-deprecating, sarcastic best. What he encounters along the way leads him down a long dark road, always skirting the edge of insanity.
Can he keep his family safe? Can he discover the secret behind Tommy's powers? Can he save anyone from the zombie queen? Encircled in a seemingly safe haven called Little Turtle, Mike and his family, together with the remnants of a tattered community, must fight against a relentless, ruthless, unstoppable force. This last bastion of civilization has made its final stand. God help them all.

"Once you read the first few pages of Zombie Fallout, you're in for the series." (John Ramsey Miller, author of The Last Family)
"The word lighthearted doesn't usually come to mind when we think of the zombie apocalypse, but Sean Runnette does a skillful job balancing humor with horror in this audio edition, which makes for an entertaining stroll with the walking dead…Runnette gives Talbot a dry, I-knew-this-was-going-to-happen-to-me-someday attitude that captures the wry spirit of Tufo's prose. This provides a welcome departure from the doom and gloom of most zombie tales, and Runnette wrings plenty of chuckles from the material. Still, the narrator doesn't forget that this is an apocalyptic horror story, making sure there are plenty of chills and thrills along the way." (Publisher's Weekly)

"bucket full of zombie juice"
if you're new to the zombie genre, stop reading this review and download zombie fallout NOW! if you're into zombies AND haven't read this book, download it NOW!
ok...on with my review...
this is a funny book. hi-lar-ious! political correctness be damned. the story follows mike talbot and his family as the zombie apocalypse begins. mike lives in denver, colorado with his wife, tracy, 2 teenage boys, justin and travis, and his dog, henry, an english bulldog.
mike is in the shower when his wife screams. finding this unusual, mike dons a towel and heads downstairs to see what the heck is going on. tracy and travis are trying to shut the front door as mike appears. after they get the door closed, they implore mike to look through the peephole.
i'm inserting that part here:
"look out the peephole my wife whispered. i put my eye to the hole, expecting to see some little s#!t gangbanger out there tearing s#1t up. what i saw was a tongue. i see a tongue! some a$$hole is licking my peephole i said. then i laughed a little bit.
that sounded a little gross even to me. my wife didn't see the humor. her face still hadn't regained her color, and my son looked like he was about to hyperventilate.
my wife told me to look out the window, but she made no move to look with me. i'm not the brightest bulb on the string but even i knew at this point something was really messed up. i put on my best male bravado and stepped over to the window and rolled up the shade. to this day, i don't know how it happened, but i simultaneously felt my stomach lurch into my throat and my balls fill in the abandoned spot my belly left behind. there had to have been at least a couple dozen dead people milling about on our communal lawn."
so starts the zombie apocalypse and the quest for survival. mike's oldest son, justin, is working the night shift at walmart. mike, tracy, and travis set out to rescue justin.
while rescuing justin, they also rescue tommy. tommy is a greeter at walmart who gets stuck on the roof with justin. tommy is a jolly, seemingly retarded guy. he's huge, overweight, and always eating something sweet. mike and his family learn there is more to tommy than meets the eye. he hears a voice in his head. i won't tell you whose voice it is, but it's hilarious.
when mike and his family get back to their neighborhood, the entrance is blocked off by a bus full of armed people. jed, the neighborhood president, recognizes mike and lets him and his family through.
back at the house, mike finds his daughter, nicole, and her fiancé, brandon, have fled there. so starts the process of fortifying the neighborhood and venturing out for supplies.
on a supply run, mike notices a weird zombie, who just stares at him. later, he notices the same zombie following him. just what does this zombie have in store for mike? it's a joy to find out!
this story has it all! lots of humor. unimaginable gore. the power of a hoard. whew! when you get to that part, you just won't believe how well it's done. lots of zombie carnage. a great human nemesis, dergin. now, that's a great bad guy's name.
there are just so many superlatives that if i haven't convinced you by now, i never will. you know what they say...you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
If you always have a book with you...
"So much Fun!"
What a fantastic listen. I love Zombie books and this is a great one. I love the humor, it fits in perfectly, I think Mike is a great main character and the narrator does a fantastic job of bringing everyone 'to life'. A nice light and easy listen.
The story could use some more development, but with 7 books in the series, this was a great start.
"schticky - listen to the sample first"
I like zombies and comedy, but I called it quits on "Zombie Fallout" after a few chapters. I'm chiming in because many of these "unanimous five star" genre books have been unqualified hits for me. With this one, I wish I'd listened to the sample, although frankly I think the cover, title and marketing should indicate a bit more of the schticky style contained.
There's a lot here that just wasn't my taste - constant references to past zombie pop culture (no 00's movie or videogame goes unnoticed), the conceit that the main character was fully prepared for a zombie apocalypse, and, most of all, Mr. Tufo's overeager and slightly corny sense of humor.
Not a minute goes by without him trying to elicit some kind of laugh from the listener/reader, and just about every attempt was a failure with me. It's all firmly from the Jeff Foxworthy/King Of The Hill school of "redneck sitcom husband" humor; he slips in poop, gets annoyed with his wife, disdains anything more high-brow than a monster-truck rally, and expresses exasperation at the idiot neighbors. Hey, I have no problem with humor or bending genre conventions, but it didn't connect with me and felt fairly stale after Shawn of the Dead and Zombieland (which, of course, are knowingly referenced).
I can't say the narrator helped. Mr. Runnette is affable and sympathetic but his reading neither delivered the punchlines or amped up the suspense for me. Frankly, he sounds like a quirky character actor more than the leading man I'd want to join for a multi-book saga.
I sensed some inventive supernatural twists before I quit, but all of this was too much baggage for me. But hey, a quick listen to Audible's generous sample should be enough for you to tell which reviewers you should listen to.
"Awesome! I didn't think it was slapstick at all!"
I've read a couple of reviews that mentioned this was like slapstick (as in Zombieland) and I passed over the series for quite some time. I HATE anything slapstick! Boy am I glad I gave it a chance. I absolutely love zombie and/or apocalypse books and movies. Sure the book was chock-full of humor but it was not ridiculous nor did the characters behavior exceed the boundaries of common sense! I found it to be very entertaining and very believable. I thought the narrator did an excellent job and cannot imagine anyone else voicing Mike. I also liked the hint of paranormal vibe i.e., Tommy. It is in my top 3 reads! Please give it a chance. If you're like me and cringe when you see the Three Stooges don't worry - this book is not slapstick! Love it!!!
"best series ever...really!"
Mark Tufo's writing style draws you in and hooks you from the start.The characters are 'real', aside from the zombies of course, and I think that's what sets his stories apart from the rest. He has created a relatable set of characters that will make you laugh, gag and sometimes cry.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
This book was recommended to me by one of my co-workers and without question I'm hooked! I enjoyed this title so much.. Between the wonderful narration by Sean Runnette and the excellent writing of Mark Tufo, this book is easily one of the most enjoyable listens I have had.
To start the concept of the audiobook is something that would interest anyone with an open mind. The book is current (provided you are reading/listening it in 2012 or prior at least), humerus and witty. Mark Tufo did an excellent job creating the Talbot family and experiencing a majority of the story from Mike Talbot's perspective is hilarious to say the least. The way that Mike Talbot's mind work and the very situations he finds himself in makes him easily one of my favorite literary characters. You can't help but find the humor in even the most tragic circumstances in this book by just finding out how this man's brain tick.
Sean Runnette did AWESOME if you ask me. I agree with my co-worker who said he sounds a bit 'dry' in the beginning, but as the story progresses, he got better. It almost was a case where the story was carrying him in the beginning but as the book continued you found yourself warming up to his performance and by the end of the book you frankly can't fathom someone else narrating the book.
This is an excellent title, one of those nail-biters that ends with a cliff hanger but totally worth the listen! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes that witty, sort of satire, sarcasm riddled, modern titles!
"Good zombie fiction, loved the sarcastic wit"
It was entertaining. Great first half, second half could have used more details. Items are left hanging that I thought should have been expanded. However, it could be made up for in the next book.
"Wow! Intriguing, Horrific, and Apocolyptic"
The story follows Mike Talbot and his family as they try to make sense of the new Zombie apocalyptic world. Mark Tufo does an excellent job developing multidimensional characters that force you to cry, laugh, and cringe at them and with them. This gory, intense, and frightening story is defiantly on my top 5 Zombie list. A MUST listen for ALL Zombie fans. Spoiler**** My favorite part was the mother and daughter's journey into town to purchase cigarettes only to find a perfect and frightening opportunity to extract revenge on a Zombie from their past....the dialog is hilarious. And of course the haunting Zombie kiss, which freaks me out to this day.
I really like Mike, I found myself relating to him in so many ways as he is sarcastic, witty, and a survivalist.
Spoiler*****Road trip to purchase cigarettes, the final breach of the wall as the Talbots move from one room to the next trying to stay ahead of the NEW intelligent Zombies.
The book provoked all emotions, some at the same time, mostly fear!
Starting the second book now.....CAN
"Amusing enough."
I'd be the last to praise this book as I often found myself cringing at the writing, but I was entertained to some degree.
It is interesting to hear a zombie story for the point of view of someone who might be suited to deal with it (mike's guns and weapons training) rather than the usually random dude. The characters were mostly unbearable.
Different narrator, was not a fan of the narration.
It was pretty entertaining if you overlook the obvious problems.
Mike was not funny, not in the slightest. No one was legitimately entertaining. Sarcasm seems to be the only attempt at humor which was kind of awful. The wife is irritating, irrational and endlessly nagging.
"Pooly written book"
I don't usually write reviews on books purchased on Audible, but I have to about this one. I enjoy a good Zombie book like the next person but this was neither a good book or a good Zombie story. The author's poor writing skills become apparent after a few paragraphs that include phrases like "she retorted" "I barked"… It's not "slap stick" as some reviewer stated, its one bad joke after another, after another, after another! The narrator sounds like Billy Chrystal delivering a boring monologue filled with old tired jokes. Do yourself a favor and listen to the sample. If you can stand that, then maybe you can get through the entire book. To me, it was a waste of a credit and time. I really did try and give it a chance, but the plot and jokes are so predictable I stopped listening.
"It's ok!?"
Not the best zombie story, but I liked it. The main thing bringing this down, the narrater sound like the dad from Family Guy. Will get the next book, but as a priority.
"Loved it!"
I really enjoyed this, the humour that runs through it is great. Its different to the usual zombie end of the world theme, which does become more apparent in book 2. Which I downloaded as soon as I finished this one. Don't be put off by the humour it has plenty of sick bits.
The narration is really good, and following Mike, his family and friends on their journey is really good.
Buy this I don't think you will regret it.
Like everyone else in the western world I'm addicted to the zombie genre - why? I don't know, perhaps it's a brain disease or a government plot putting some drug into the water supply to keep us all happy - but that's not the point, the point is I've wasted half my credits trying to find a zombie novel that isn't utter crap - and I've failed.This isn't the worst of a bad bunch but it is one of the most annoying. The reader DOES sound like Peter Griffin which I could handle if the characters weren't so utterly stupid and constantly cracking wise. They wander about, as though being eaten was just a minor inconvenience, doing such stupid things, like going to fetch cigarettes without a gun, or arguing about what car to use because they're worried about the paint work! Infuriating!
Perhaps the worst thing about is that at no time do you think that any of the central characters are going to get bit or eaten because that would interfere with the awful American family cliche they inhabit.
Oh and were does the electricity, hot water and fuel come from in the post zombie world of Mr Tufo.
"Juvenile and disappointing"
Seeing that this was one of the highest rating zombie books on Audible, I tuned in with much excitement. The number of books gave the potential to have long-term character development similar to the Walking Dead. I was sorely disappointed.
The main character comes across as a self-absorbed narcissist. I can't help but feel that this is reflection on the author himself.
The treatment of female characters is also pretty reprehensible. I couldn't shake the feeling that there is a underlying feeling of sexism and mysgonism throughout the book, reinforced by female characters who blunder around like idiots, failing to recognise unloaded guns despite not putting in any bullets, being terrible shots, always getting the main character 'in trouble' for trying to do the right thing and many other examples.
Other targets of 'humour' include characters with learning difficulties, bodily functions, rape, and a completely pointless and unfunny epilogue paying out Canadians for some reason.
Maybe I just don't get it, but I really can't recommend this book.
"A great Zombie book with a sarcastic sense a humer"
I love zombie books & films and this zombie book is 1 of my favourites. It is a little bit like Shawn of the Dead, or maybe like Family Guy with zombies.
It's a sarcastic American man trying to look after his family from zombies.
It's funny & has zombies!!!!!
What's not to like.
He reads it well & really draws you in.
Yes if it was short I would have.
Very good book & I download the 2nd book straight after.
If you have a sense of humour (sarcastic & a bit dark) & you like zombies then get this book.
900 miles is also a good zombie book.
"Stumbled on to a real gem of a book!"
The most horrific ending of the world but a group you can invest your time into and laugh and laugh with through good and bad
This is a real new style of zombie book writing and it WORKS
Mike Talbot of course!
Seriously never listened to zombie fallout then get this book now it is brilliant!
"Cartoonish, gratuitous and unrealistic"
Any concern for scientific accuracy. The idea behind how the zombie outbreak starts is laughably bad. The main protagonist is impossible to sympathize with, in particularly found his description of an encountered obese character to be particularly unpleasant. The lack of well written characters doesn't stop there however. His two sons are trigger happy and moronic respectively, and the rest of the cast doesn't get any better. With the militaristic way it's written, it feels like it's trying to be a Chris Ryan book, and fails miserably.
Discarded the cast, re-written the storyline, spent more than a few minutes coming up with the scientific basis of the story and dropped all of the needless references to modern era brands. I personally got bored of comments like "With their Xbox 360's" scattered amongst the narrative
Steady, mature, disconnected
Massive disappointment, and occasionally guffaws of disbelief
"Classic horror with modern wit."
Yes I would recommend this audiobook. Told in a fascinating and thought-provoking manner. Actually gives you something to think about.....granted it's a zombie apocalypse, but the way it's told and the bond you build with the characters, it's nail biting stuff.
The narrator has a voice that you just can't help but enjoy. One of the best spoke audiobooks I've listened to.
The characters. Mike Talbot and his principles bulldoze through this nightmare. The sarcasm, intelligence and wit that is brought into this story during what can only be described as hell, is just memorable. Keeps you glued every second.
When Mike Talbot put a bullet into the head of a civilian (psycho) who kept a zombie in his basement to use in a most deviant way. Considering the world had changed, everyone's beliefs and principles had changed and survival was the primary goal, Mike still stood by his principles and acknowledged this situation was very wrong. The moment were the sick psycho hinted or suggested about mike's female members was the moment you knew his fate was sealed. A very satisfying moment indeed.
Bear the Rottweiler. Don't think I could listen to that part again. I have an English Bull Terrier. I love her to bits and if I had to look at her the way Mike Talbot had to look at Bear knowing what was about to happen......
will be buying all the Zombie Fallout series.
"Thoroughly Enjoyable Listen Great Narrating"
Really enjoyed this book. The narrating was great and I loved the characters in it. Written with a very dry sense of humour that I enjoyed. I will be listening to the others in the series.
"Good story, narrator impersonating a muppet"
If i see the name as Sean Runnette I will not buy the book . Awful voice for this business he sounded like one of the muppets
Enjoyed the book very hard to get over the horrible voice telling it
No way

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Colleges, museums and well known groups have rushed to grab online
addresses in the ".xxx" domain to prevent porn purveyors from using
their names in the Internet's new red light district.
Public sales of .xxx addresses began last week after ICM
Registrygave companies, groups, actors, porn stars and other well
known people or groups opportunities to secure websites related to
their names.
Well-known colleges were among those quick to stake claims to .xxx
websites, paying $200 for a decade of exclusive control over
addresses based on their names.
Despite painful budget woes in the California State college system,
the University of California, Berkeley, paid $1,200 for six .xxx web
addresses based on name variations for the school and its Golden
Bears football team.
UC Berkeley also opted to pay an annual fee of $102 to maintain a
"calbears.xxx" website it did not intend to use, according to
college spokesman Robert Sanders.
While the university football team is referred to as the Cal Bears,
the name did not meet trademark requirements for sidelining an
address for a decade for $200, he explained.
"Basically, we're trying to safeguard the university's name and its
trademark from being used by people in a manner we would find
inappropriate," Sanders told AFP on Tuesday.
"We wouldn't want to be associated with the industries that might
use these kinds of sites," he added.
The state university in Kansas said it regretted spending it also
believed necessary: almost $3,000 for a range of .xxx addresses from
the school's name to "KUgirls.xxx" and "KUnurses.xxx" -- all to
safeguard its online image.
Florida-based ICM Registry is overseeing the top-level domain (TLD)
geared for adult entertainment and reported that it is seeing nearly
a million visits daily to buy.xxx website showing where the
addresses can be purchased.
A check of website name indexing service WHOIS Lookup showed that
.xxx addresses "reserved from registration" included UCBerkeley,
Stanford, MOMA, Louvre, Sony, CocaCola, Vatican, and AFP as well as
GirlScouts and BoyScouts.
Lifetime rights to a trademarked brand .xxx could have been
purchased during a 30-day "sunrise period" prior to general
availability last week, according to ICM spokeswoman Loren
"These names are not being 'blocked,' they are simply being bought
up so as not to be purchased by anyone else," she told AFP.
"Prelaunch, governments were able to submit names to be reserved,"
Pomerantz continued. "They typically included politicians and
culturally sensitive names."
Web addresses are sold through registrars such as Go Daddy and
Network Solutions, and names not qualifying as trademarks are doled
out the same ways that .com, .net, .edu and other domain addresses
are purchased.
"Since there is no categorization of names that are purchased, and
they are done through dozens of different registrars, there is no
way to know who has bought what for what price," Pomerantz said.
Some popular web addresses such as gay.xxx were sold at auction. The
gay.xxx address sold for several hundred thousand dollars, according
to ICM.
San Francisco was among .xxx Web addresses being held for auction,
since city names don't qualify as trademarks.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was among the
groups that bought .xxx addresses with apparent plans to attract
support for its cause, ICM said.
The non-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) board in March approved a petition to add .xxx to the list
of "generic top level domains," those endings that include .com,
.net, and .org.
ICM chief executive Stuart Lawley estimated between $10 million and
$20 million were spent on the campaign, which began in the year
He depicted the .xxx domain as "win, win, win" since it creates an
online district clearly marked for those intent on finding or
avoiding adult content and which automatically scans websites for
viruses or other malicious codes.
The sites are also designed with tags to be easily identified by
parental filter features in commonly used Web browsers, according to
The risque online neighborhood was opposed by some adult industry
firms that feel they are compelled to buy new website addresses to
avoid others capitalizing on their names and by conservative groups
opposed to porn.

"Restaurants that you can eat right on the water"
West Palm Beach is awesome! I love going to visit! There is so much to do and see. The beach scenes are my favorite, there are so many different areas to see. A lot of them have restaurants that you can eat at right on the water. The downtown area is also very nice. There are lots of shopping areas with unique stores just to West Palm Beach. For first time visitors Worth Avenue is also a must see, it has beautiful stores and excellent restaurants. I recommend West Palm Beach as a great vacation spot any time of the year, you won't be disappointed.

"Plenty of parks that you can go to -- Always close to the beach"
A beautiful city where we're always close to the beach. Expos, community events, and shopping during the day and fine dining, dancing, and live shows at night in Downtown City Place. There are also plenty of parks that you can go to take a stroll or to even exercise. You can also go fishing, take part in water sports, and camp out at Peanut Island.

"WPB breaks the 'slow' and 'humid' stereotype of Florida"
West Palm Beach breaks the slow and humid stereotype of Florida! WPB has a great climate almost the entire year. I'd avoid visiting from July to the end of September. Most people leave if they can and many businesses are closed. The rest of the year its amazing though. Absolutely beautiful nights and warm ocean water. Clematis street has a night life that bumps most nights of the week and also has some good restaurants. There also is a bike path that goes for miles along the water.

I was so excited to get this rug. It looked just like the picture but after a couple of hours I noticed that the rugs sheds everywhere! I thought maybe I would just need to vacuum it once to get rid of it, but it's CONSTANTLY happening! I've had it for 3+ weeks now and I have to vacuum my apartment almost everyday because I see the green fuzz all over the place. If I kneel down on it, I am covered in the tiny green fibers. I'm hoping it will eventually stop, but it's not looking good. It looks like a nice rug, especially right after I vacuum, but definitely not something I would recommend buying.
This rug is very soft and the color is a perfect yellow- exactly as shown in the picture. I rolled it out and it laid flat right away. I used it with a rug pad to give it a little bit more cushion over a stone tile floor. It adds so much warmth and vibrancy to the room- I love it, love it, love it. I have not had too many problems with "shedding" and it vacuums very easily. I have it in a high-traffic area and so far it has help up well.
Very happy with the rug, good quality and a great price! Only comment for others looking at this rug is that the Ivory version is actually beige. I wouldn't call it ivory at all. So if you're looking for something beige/almost tan & chocolate brown, this rug is great. But if you're looking for something off-white or ivory, you're probably not going to be happy. Beige worked for me and I'm keeping it.
Do not buy this rug. First of all, the rug appears bold and vibrant on the website. In person however, it is dull and appears dirty. I bought the rug in gold and while I like that color, what seems to be white on the website is actually cream. Now, this may hold for all wool rugs, I'm not sure, but it sheds like crazy. I have the the rug in a room with wood floors and it creates all kinds of dust bunnies in the corners, under the bed, under the furniture, etc. It actually makes my room feel unclean. As a result, I vacuum more often. Unfortunately, the rug sheds so much that my vacuum bag is full of carpet fibers. I've actually had to switch bags several times and those things usually last forever. Overall, I am really disappointed with this purchase. While I hate to throw away money, I know I will not be able to live with this rug. I am going to donate it and look for something new.
I read a bunch of the reviews before deciding to take a chance and purchase the rug. I absolutely love it! It is beautiful and a great quality. The color is perfect for brightening up the room and giving us something soft under our feet. It does shed but if you vacuum regularly it's fine. I would buy this again in a heart beat...I am actually hoping to find it in a runner to put by the front door because I love it so much. You can tell when it's time to vacuum because you will see some collection of the rug bits as well as dirt, but a quick vacuum makes it look like new again. We love it and our dogs do too!
This rug is an excellent value for the size and quality. Im redecorating the master bedroom and the rugs anchor my other pieces
I love the color of this rug, in the picture it looks a little more plush, but I am satisfied enough.
This rug was absolutely beautiful. Does let up some lint but beautiful none the less.
Will never buy a rug online again, I wish I would have read comments before purchase. This rug sheds so much that it has clogged my vacuum. Yellow fibers are all over my sofa and throws. Horrible product!
this rug is beautiful! the quality was even better than I expected. looks like a very expensive rug. other reviewers wrote about an odor to this rug - I detected no smell. highly recommend it if you are considering it. get it - you will not be disappointed!! BTW - never have written a review for a product....that is how pleased I was.

Smaller than expected. You get what you paid for- so if you're looking for a cheap shift for under a jacket or cardigan, then it works. Otherwise, the material is cheap and the dress has no structure.. definitely not for a formal setting. And the seams were done poorly- they were scratchy and hurt me.

Moderate level hikeing
I got these a few weeks ago, looking for something to wear between big winter boots and sneakers. I've been a pretty loyal fan of Rocky boots over the years but after recently losing a bunch of weight and getting very active my feet changed a lot and it's been problematic to find boots I like. I tried every brand and nothing felt right...until I tried on Merrell. They were a perfect fit! I liked the Phoenix so much I wore them out of the store and returned the Rocky boots I was wearing to the store I got them from (sorry Rocky)... I've been wearing the Phoenix every day since and I cannot rave enough about these boots. They are light and quick like my sneakers but have the protection and waterproof I need for messy upstate NY winters. The traction is unreal, they handle snow/slush and ice incredibly well... Mud/dirt traction is great of course too. I loved them so much I bought a pair of Merrell Yokota Trail to go with them. I am now a loyal Merrell buyer...I can't wait for spring to get these babies onto the trails.
How exciting to know you fell in love with Merrell right when you slipped these on your feet! We are so excited for your to get these out on the trails this spring too! Thank you for trying some of our styles and being a loyal Merrell buyer now!

Where have you been all my life Merrell Shoes? They fit great and feel like I'm wearing slippers. Wore them all day right out of the box. Going back to try on a different style for a second pair ASAP.
Awesome! The search is over for the perfect boot! We are so thrilled you love these and are looking for more.
Sized as Expected
I love the shoe. It fit and didn't cause me any discomfort while walking or working. I hiked with them the same day I bought them and had only one blister. Not bad at all. I would reorder them again.
Excellent! Stay active and get outside and go for a hike!!!
Sized as Expected
I hike and work with this boot/shoe.
I own several boot Merrell boots, and for the price, these are a great buy for anyone wanting a simple but great boot.
Awesome! We are so thrilled you love these and recommend them to so many others.

Impoundment Control:
President's Fifth Special Message for FY 1991
OGC-91-11: Published: Aug 20, 1991. Publicly Released: Aug 20, 1991.

- Full Report:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the revised amounts of two deferrals and two proposed rescissions reported in the President's fifth special impoundment message for fiscal year 1991.
GAO found that the revised deferrals were in accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. GAO noted that: (1) the funds proposed for rescission were available for obligation; and (2) there may be insufficient time to obligate the funds, since Congress may complete action on a rescission bill 2 days before the end of the fiscal year. GAO identified no other information, except as noted, that would be useful to Congress in its consideration of the President's proposals.

Prices for single-family homes increased in 89% of U.S. cities in the first quarter as the housing market extends a recovery from a five-year slump.
The median sales price rose from a year earlier in 133 of 150 metropolitan areas measured, the National Association of Realtors said in a report today. A year earlier, 74 areas had gains.
Buyers returning to the housing market are bidding up prices for a tight supply of listings. The national median price for an existing single-family home was $176,600 in the first quarter, up 11.3% from the same period last year. That was the biggest gain since the fourth quarter of 2005, according to the Realtors group.
"Some of the previously hard-hit markets like Phoenix, Sacramento and Miami continue to experience a dramatic turnaround, while a new set of areas like Atlanta, Minneapolis and Seattle have begun to show strong signs of upward momentum," Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, said in the report.
At the end of the first quarter, 1.93 million previously owned homes were available for sale, 16.8% fewer than a year earlier, according to the Realtors group.
The best-performing metro areas were Akron, Ohio, and San Francisco, where prices jumped 33% from a year earlier. Prices rose 32% in Reno, Nevada, and Silicon Valley, California; 31% in Atlanta and 30% in Phoenix.
The Kankakee, Illinois, area had the biggest decline, falling 19% from from a year earlier. Following were Edison, New Jersey, with a 8.6% drop, and Allentown, Pennsylvania, with a 8.3% decrease.

Marvel at treasures never seen in America in this exclusive tour of Prince Rainier of Monaco's 13th century palace.
In 1956, America was transfixed by royalty when one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Grace Kelly, married the dashing Prince Rainier of Monaco. Their castle, a 13th century structure on a tiny peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean, was perhaps the most magnificent royal palace in the world.
AMERICA'S CASTLES® journeys to the exclusive principality for a comprehensive tour of this unique palace. Originally built as a fortress, it was gradually transformed over the centuries into a lavish palace, filled with great art and luxurious furnishings and decor. Historians and scholars trace the history of the castle from its construction to the present day, and extensive footage shows Grace and Rainier enjoying their magnificent home. And visits to the private chambers reveal treasures never before seen by the public.
PRINCE'S PALACE is a remarkable tour through the history and splendor of one of a truly royal retreat and a fond look at the love story that unfolded within.

If RPGs Were Like Tupperware…
Now, I am not displeased that she is having this party, namely because the things she gets make her happy and help her make me some awesome meals, but I do wonder what it'd be like if gamers had this sort of thing? Specialty dice (the dEverything, the Zocchihedron), mixed with niche RPGs, expensive coffee-table style game books, custom mahogany dice towers, and gaming accessories you never knew existed, but could no longer live without.
The only problem would be finding an audience. I imagine you'd have to cover a pretty big geographical area to make it worth your while.

Aren't are already like that?
Very niche products. Certain nights of the week where we get together in groups to use them or consider new ones...

- Tyson J> Hayes said...
Your idea is amusing, and something that's already kind of implemented with conventions. We all go to the conventions to buy similar products and talk about them. In a way it's like a tupperware party except just not at anyone's home.
Amusing idea though.

@clash: Me, too!
@gleicman: All that's missing is the catalogs!
@Tyson: Good point. In a way, the dealer room at a convention is a big Tupperware party.

This is a great idea... RPG parties, where you sample different products.
You bring premade PC's, and you Dm a few rounds of combats or whatever, to get a taste of how the mechanics work...
Interesting concept....

I've also got a dTotal, which is what you linked to. I didn't know what a dEverything was! I bought it a couple of GenCons ago, from Lou himself.

Heh--I like calling it a dEverything. A better name, in my mind.

I have heard this model proposed 4 times int he past eight years. Once it was acted on to utter failure. It really sounds good on paper but does not work as well in practice. Not sure why cause it sounds good to me as well but every time it seems to fall through.
- November 3, 2009 at 9:10 PM
- Zachary The First said...
You mean someone actually tried it? I'd love to hear how that worked..or didn't.
- November 3, 2009 at 10:53 PM

I've considered doing something like this. The challenge is finding a workable format.

Kids Aquatic Survival School
Swimming lessons with a difference.
It's not just about swimming. It's about survival.
At Kids Aquatic Survival School we teach children under the age of 5 not just water familiarisation or exploration but aquatic SKILLS.
A child is taught breath control (take a breath before submerging in the water)
How to open eyes under the water so that they can look to where safety is
How to reach up, grab and turn for the side
How to swim (dog paddle) to the side if they are further than arms reach away
How to roll over to float and breath
How to combine swimming and floating if getting to the side is not obtainable in one breath of swimming
- How to stay in a floating and breathing posture if getting to safety is not an option
All the above is also taught in full winter clothing, nappy (if not toilet trained) and shoes.

Water survival SkillsBy eugenie.pepper on 4/01/2012 9:12:41 AM
Teaching kids water survival skills is a must - it is the best thing we have done.
Great Swim School.By hkettlewell on 14/11/2011 1:41:07 PM
We used KASS for my 3 year old son, who although attending 'normal' swimming lessons was not competent in the water. As we spend a lot of time near water at beaches, near rivers and have a pool in our back garden I was looking for something to improve his abilities to help save himself if the situation arose. We found this in KASS - Rachelle was friendly, helpful and infor (...) Read more
The best swim and survival school a parent could ask for - Awesome!By Jackee on 8/11/2011 11:52:53 PM
I searched high and low for a survival school for my daughter 5 years ago, and upon finding KASS I enrolled her straight away. Its amazing to watch your child learn in such a short period to "Survive" in the water. I enrolled my son when he turned 2 shortly after. Since then my children have such confidence in the water and also attend KASS stroke lessons, once a week. I c (...) Read more
Swimming - amazing resultsBy pettinah on 8/11/2011 10:07:41 PM
With an over confident 2 year old son who didn't enjoy the mum & bubs style swimming lessons the one on one KASS lessons were perfect for us. After a few weeks my son loved going & would get so excited about his daily swimming lesson. I was totaly amazed at how quickly my son was able to float, roll and get himself to the edge (totally clothed too). I have just now put my (...) Read more
A matter of life or DeathBy rosemary.psaila on 8/11/2011 5:00:49 PM
I have been going to Kass for about 3-4 years now and I think it is the most amazing survival course any parent needs to give their children. I have seen first hand what can happen if your child falls in a body of water. This course teaches the children the skills they require to survive in the water. Richard and Rachelle do an amazing job, I would recommend KASS to any (...) Read more
THANKS A MILLIONBy Jennifer on 8/11/2011 2:20:32 PM
When planning a holiday to Vanuatu, we decided our 16-month-old needed to do this "water survival course" I'd heard about. I knew most children didn't start swimming lessons before they were about 4, but that's too late in my view, & I wanted to go on holiday without panicking everytime we were near a pool. I was doubtful that she'd be dog paddling to the side, or rolling (...) Read more
Kids Aquatic Survival School recommendationBy Bly on 7/11/2011 7:55:24 PM
Amazing! Not only was my three year old son transformed from fearing to loving the water, we had the peace of mind of knowing that if he fell in a pool, fully clothed, without an adult nearby, he could confidently swim to the side. The swim survival course offered by Kids Aquatic Survival School should be mandatory for every Australian child. Richard is a firm but gentle a (...) Read more
KASS - Money well spentBy Lynette on 6/11/2011 9:29:16 PM
After realising that my then 3 year old son was not getting anywhere with regular swimming lessons we enrolled him into the KASS Swim Float Swim program. He did great and with a new home that had a pool we felt more secure that he would survive if he fell in. Our second child is currently in the program and learning all his survival skills too. And our third will follow ne (...) Read more
All 3 kids swimming confidently by age 2By Jane on 6/11/2011 5:37:20 PM
I have watched my friends and family take their kids to swimming lessons each week year after year...spending a huge amount of money with very slow results. My husband and I couldn't be happier with what Kids Aquatic Survival School have done for us. All three of our kids have mastered swimming safely to the edge, rolling and floating all whilst fully clothed within 6 week (...) Read more
Absolutely Extrordinary!By Fiona on 5/11/2011 12:21:02 PM
I simply cannot believe how much my two boys have learned from their lessons with Richard. Within 8 weeks they could both roll onto their backs, roll back over and then swim to the edge of the pool, and they even managed this fully dressed by the end of thier swim survival course. The Coogee pool has been undergoing renovation recently so the boys have had to temporarily (...) Read more

The Manchester City Jersey: A Brief History
As one of England's oldest clubs with one of the oldest rivalries in the world of football, Manchester City jerseys have quite the history forged into them. Nicknamed The Blues or sometimes The Sky Blues, Manchester City didn't actually start with their light blue Manchester City uniforms until 1894, about 10 years after the club's formation. Since then, the home jersey has stayed a consistent color blue for over 100 years.
The Manchester City away kit has a different history to it. In the 1960s, assistant manager Malcolm Allison insisted on the club wearing red and black striped away jerseys. Legend has it that Allison wanted to replicate the colors of AC Milan to instill confidence in his players. Somehow it worked, as the City team won the 1969 FA Cup Final and 1970 European Winners' Cup in the red and black Manchester City uniform.

Common Names
- Lovastatin (Altoprev, Mevacor)
- Simvastatin (Zocor)
- Pravastatin (Pravachol)
- Fluvastatin (Lescol)
- Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
- Rosuvastatin (Crestor)
Current Uses
Statins may be prescribed if you have:
- High total cholesterol
- High LDL ("bad") cholesterol
- Low HDL ("good") cholesterol
- High triglyceride levels
- Coronary artery disease
If you already have cardiovascular disease, your doctor may recommend statins to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Some people may benefit from a statin even if they have no history of cardiovascular disease but are at high risk.
Mechanism for How It Works
HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme that helps your body make cholesterol. Statins help to block this enzyme, which in turn causes your body to make less cholesterol. When you make less cholesterol, your liver makes more LDL receptors, which attract LDL particles in the blood. This reduces the amount of LDL ("bad") cholesterol in your bloodstream. Lower LDL cholesterol levels also tend to lead to lower levels of triglycerides and higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels in the blood. Statins have anti-inflammatory effects on blood vessels which help reduce the formation of fatty plaque on blood vessel walls.
Side Effects
Drug Interactions
Statins can interact with many medicines. Below are some examples. But, you should talk to your doctor and pharmacist about the specific medicines that you are taking.
- Cyclosporine (eg, Gengraf)
- Erythromycin (eg, Erythrocin)
- Gemfibrozil (eg, Lopid)
- Nefazodone (eg, Serzone)
- Verapamil (eg, Calan)
- Digoxin (eg, Lanoxin)
- Protease inhibitors to treat HIV, such as indinavir (eg, Crixivan), nelfinavir (eg, Viracept), ritonavir (eg, Norvir), saquinavir (eg, Invirase)
Other Interactions
Statins can interact with certain foods, herbs, and supplements. Here are examples of potential interactions:
- Grapefruit juice —increases the absorption of most statins, allowing potentially excessive levels to build up in the bloodstream
- Chaparral, comfrey, and coltsfoot—may increase the risk of liver problems
- St. John's wort—may decrease blood levels of some statins
- Vitamin B3— possibly increases the risk of developing a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis
- Red yeast rice—contains a mixture of statins and should not be combined with statin drugs
If you would like to take herbs or supplements while taking a statin, check with your doctor first.
Other Potential Concerns
These conditions can affect how your body uses statins:
- Allergy or intolerance to statins or allergies to other substances, including food
- Obesity—can make statins less effective
- Positive changes in diet and exercise—may need a lower dose
If you have any of the following conditions, tell your doctor before you are prescribed statins:
- Alcohol abuse
- Liver disease
- Organ transplant and take medicine to prevent transplant rejection
- Recent major surgery
- Pregnant or breastfeeding—Statins are not recommended in pregnant or nursing women.
Common Side Effects
More common side effects include:
- Gas
- Upset stomach
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Headache
- Flu-like symptoms
- Fatigue
- Muscle pain
- Skin rash
Less Common Side Effects
Less common, but more serious side effects include:
- Liver problems
- Myopathy (muscle weakness)
- Rhabdomyolysis
- Kidney failure
- Memory problems and confusion
- Increased blood sugar levels
- Take only the amount of statin ordered by your doctor.
- Do not stop taking this medicine without first checking with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or dentist about taking this medicine before having any kind of surgery, dental procedure, or emergency treatment.
