Jose Mourinho may have lost some of dressing room, but only wants Real Madrid to win, says Guillem Balague
It was interesting to watch the body language between Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid skipper Iker Casillas during their 4-3 win over Real Sociedad.Back to story

Paul Collins (Arsenal fan) says...
guillem, i love the premier league but love spain even more. i watch nearly all games on sky, not just the barca or real ones. and im getting sick of this myth that the EPL is better from people who either watched little spanish football or only the ones with barca/real in them.. lionel messi is the best player ever. he doesnt need to move league. look at michu anyway hes only 2 goals away from equalling his best record for any club he had in spain in the space of 6 months at swansea. what do you make of the shambolic defending of the EPL. no team in this league is good enough defensively so do you see barca taking back their champions league trophy?. keep up the good work. best football expert out there. and loving the passion you showed in your "rant". legend!

where is cesc fabregas and does he not play for barcelona anymore

Moh Aslam (Real Madrid fan) says...
Hi Gulliem, do you feel the recent tactic of Mourinho to drop Casillas to the bench had anything to do with making Ronaldo the captain? Also do you feel Mourinho is not suited to Madrid because no matter what he wins his playing style will always be disliked by a huge part of the fans opposed to in England (Chelsea) where the fans would not mind their team's playing style.

Benjamin Hamidekhoo (Barcelona fan) says...
Hi Guillem, Considering the 16 points gap between barca and real , i think the league title is almost for barca, what are the chances of real madrid in champions league , do you see them as a side than can compensate the loss in uefa champions league ? or it's again barca !
Posted 19:43 7th January 2013
Ahmed Ali (Barcelona fan) says...
I think what's happening now in Real Madrid is like a dispute between Perez and Morinho, Morinho intentionally makes troubles looking for the sack and Perez from his side trying to compromise morinho's power in real madrid pushing him to quit, at the end who's gonna win, isn't this true Mr Guillem?

David Fullam (Real Madrid fan) says...
Hi Guillem If mourinho leaves in the summer who do you think will get the job will it be carlo ancelotti , rafa benitez,or marcello lippi . Do you think there is any chance of del bosque coming back to real madrid? Thanks David Fullam

Sav Christou (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
Hi Guillem, Rumours that Luka Modric is unhappy at Real Madrid are picking up pace. Surely he wont be moving anywhere during January? Do you think his form has been affected due to the dressing room unrest at Real?
Posted 16:55 7th January 2013
Wayne Crowe (Manchester United fan) says...
Hi Guillem, In the current economic climate, Is there any major financial risk to the Spanish league that could see the likes of Barca and Real selling some of their key players in the next couple fo season. I've also heard that other teams in La Liga are seeking a bigger share of the tv revenues.
Posted 16:24 7th January 2013
Steve Ade (Manchester United fan) says...
I really think Messi at some time in his career, should leave his "comfort zone" i.e Barca and try another major European league. Ronaldo did it so why can't he? The Barca team is custom-made for Messi; let's not delude ourselves. Like was previously said in another post, perhaps he can be classified as the "greatest" ever by winning a World Cup. However, don't people want to see what Messi is capable of doing when outside the comfort zone that is Barca? We have seen what happens when he is outside it i.e when playing for Argentina whereupon a Xavi, Iniesta or Alves is not around. Just my thoughts and I am in no way downplaying Messi's current achievements; they are phenomenal but try playing for another team in the same league or in another major European league and let us see if you can recreate the magic there.

If you have read the documentation you probably know that having a Metadata cache for Doctrine is something you really want to have in production.
The setup in Symfony is pretty easy, you just have to edit the
doctrine: orm: metadata_cache_driver: apc query_cache_driver: apc
The problem is that the Dependency Injection Container is generated through the Command Line Interface, and if you do not have
apc.enable_cli=1 in your
php.ini DIC will use
FileCacheReader instead.
You can check your
/app/cache/prod/appProdProjectContainer.php to see if you are using APC cache.
protected function getDoctrine_Orm_DefaultEntityManagerService() { $a = $this->get('annotation_reader'); $b = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache(); $b->setNamespace('sf2orm_default_5cdc3404d84577b226d7772ca9818908'); $c = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache(); $c->setNamespace('sf2orm_default_5cdc3404d84577b226d7772ca9818908'); // ... $g = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration(); $g->setMetadataCacheImpl($b); $g->setQueryCacheImpl($c); // ... }
If you can not find
\Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache you are not using APC to cache your metadata.
For a simple page with one query the difference between APC and File based caching can be quite big. Take a look at the numbers I got from XHProf for a simple page:
|Cache type
|Wall time
|CPU time
|Memory usage
|254,972 µs
|242,020 µs
|10,352,536 bytes

Best Yugioh Cards Ever Released
hockey_guitarhero3Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
1Winged Dragon of Ra
I have the Winged Dragon Of Ra, the only problem is that its so strong that you can't use it in a duel but sometimes with my friends we make our rules where the only difference is that divine cards are allowed. Get the card!
It is the coolest card other that slifer the sky dragon and creator of light it a very cool card I have and use it all the time.
I have it and its effect is amazing
[Newest]This card is very nice
2Slifer the Sky Dragon
It gains 1000 attack for every card in your hand. how could it get any better?
Can get to an unstoppable fury when you have 10 cards in your hand.
It has the effect to decrease your oppenents monsters ATK and definitely by 2000 points and gains 1000 ATK and definitely for each card in your hand!
[Newest]Amazing my friend always thrashes me
3Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord
Just amazing effect, would always control high power and if you have 5 exodia pieces in your deck then this cards has just won for u, as well I have 5 pieces of exodia and I'm planning on buying this off ebay as well.
its powerful and has a great effect
I think this is the best card because it's so powerful.
[Newest]This card is a beast no matter what card is against it
4Obelisk the Tormentor
By sacrificing 2 monsters on the field, you can wipe out their entire field of monsters, plus 4000 points of damage inflicted on your opponent! You just can't beat that!
Safe from card effects and has awesome attack. The other god cards can get destroyed by a spell or trap, but obelisk can't.
This card is just awesome. I really want to get it off ebay because it is basically unbeatable.
[Newest]It is invincible unless they have a monster with attack higher than 4000, but those monsters like blue eyes ultimate and five headed can be countered with spell and traps. The only ing it loses to is rainbow dragon
55 Headed Dragon
It almost impossible to beat the 5 Headed Dragon in battle plus if you use future fusion and dragon's mirror you can instantly summon the 5 Headed Dragon and another one two turns later even if you don't use the future fusion you can use monsters like montage dragon to send dragons to the graveyard to use the dragon's mirror later it and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to make a exceptional dragons deck
While hard to summon unless running dragon's mirror or future fusion, once it's out on the field it's literally untouchable. Plus, Summoner of Illusions can special summon it once flip summoned, and then play Monster reborn at your next turn to summon it for another go
Your right 5 headed dragon is the very strongest yu-gi-oh card ever since my deck is made up of dragon type monsters can bring five headed dragon out real soon in a battle every time and I always finish them with five headed dragon thanks for reading by
[Newest]I think it awesome it can 4000 thousand damage and it is pretty easy to summon
6Dark Magician
Gotta love this card! It's been around ever since the game started! This card is a classic!
H ow is this card not in the top ten. This card is an original and is simple to summon. It has good attack and defense and all around it is the best.
This card in a word is radical. Only thing is since yugioh is evolving, monsters are being created that are too powerful. Though easy to summon, dark magicians power is slowly seeping away because of newer more powerful monsters
[Newest]I made the perfect deck and dark magician was the main card (besides blue eyes white dragon of course)
7Dragon Master Knight
5000 attack if that's not good I don't know what is
Dragon master knight is one of the only cards that can beat 5 headed dragon. Because it gains 500 at for each dragon played
Only card that can easily take down 5 headed dragon
[Newest]This should be above five headed dragon
8Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
This card puts a great spin on the hard to play ritual version. With the best effect in the game how can I not love it?
This tough dude is a mini blue eyes white dragon with extra powers and he's easier to summon. Totally love having him on my side.
Best card in my deck! Effects are so good, I mean you can banish one card per turn or attack twice. Bye-Bye God cards!
[Newest]Not banned, it is a good card especially for my blue eyes deck
have it in your hand you win awesome dude
It's the greatest cards ever, it can giveu an automatic win.,
Unlike horakhty, you need to banish the 3 egyptian gods,
But you just need to draw all 5 forbidden one cards and assemble it in your hand to win the duel
Unlike horakhty, you need to banish the 3 egyptian gods,
But you just need to draw all 5 forbidden one cards and assemble it in your hand to win the duel
I think this card is the best card I have ever used I always win against my friends they never know what's coming I just put the 5 cars down and then I instantly win
[Newest]This card is an automatic win I mean it may not look super cool but this is an auto win
10Blue Eyes White Dragon
Kaiba is beast! His deck is awesome and since this card powers it, it is incredible! There are a lot of support cards for it as well, and the Ultimate Dragon is awesome to.
Blue eyes has 3,000 attack, while dark magician has 2,500. they require the same amount of tributes too. Blue eyes should be higher ranked than dark magician.
I win with it all the time
[Newest]Is should be way higher up, support cards like azure eyes can cause a heavily one sided battle

The Contenders
11Monster Reborn
Because you can't get much better than practically a free monster from either graveyard, when the graveyard is such a big part of the metagame these days its no wonder this card is banned.
Now it is un-banned but limited to one due to it's ability to special summon any monster from your graveyard or your opponent's. Many times I have dark holed my opponent's blue eyes or another pleasantly good card, and played Monster Reborn to take that monster for myself.
because I always take my monster back
[Newest]PLEASE put this cad as number 1- IT'S JUST SO AMAZING! (so, come on, put it at the top)
12Exodia the Forbidden One
Unlike Horakhty, Exodia doesn't even need to be summoned to win!
Exodia is the ultimate destroyer if that card is on the feild... Good luck
I think this card is so beast losers are duelist who hate this card like my friend
13Mirror Force
It activates just when a monster attacks and its good when an opponent has summoned a lot of monsters. The card helped me when my opponent summoned a truly powerful monster... Machina force. That would be another powerful card too
14Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon
Blue eyes is legendary there is only three in the world
And very powerful
And very powerful
Awesomeness! So awesome card yes mes Amis.
I've got blue eyes ultimate dragon. He has attack 4500 and defense 3800. He is a fusion
[Newest]It has very high attack there is also only 3 in the world
15Cyber Dragon
Ya its a great card
Go second special summon and if you got good hand you can summon cyber twin Dragon or cyber end Dragon
Plus all cyber look cool
Plus all cyber look cool
It is Over Powered
16Blue Eyes Shining Dragon
I have a deck completely centered around this guy. If everything works out, he ends up with above 7000 attack points, plus he is then unaffected by effects, spells, and traps. Best effect ever.
By far the best card in the game!
Traps and Spells don't effect it and it gains an extra 300 ATK points for every dragon in the graveyard. This card is awesome!
Traps and Spells don't effect it and it gains an extra 300 ATK points for every dragon in the graveyard. This card is awesome!
Come one guys gains 300 attack for each dragon that goes in the graveyard and cannot be effected by spells traps and monster effects
17Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon
No way I have uncountable Toon Dragons and all you have to do is destroy Toon World and BAM! By-By Toon Dragon. See what I mean?
Blue eyes plus direct attack for 500 lp megamorph can help too since you nee d to sacrafice at least 1500 lp for first attack which can end the game easily
He is the card of my favourite owner I ain't really good at this card game but I still like it more than ayny other card game
[Newest]Good twist on blue eyes
18United We Stand
united we stand is truly the best eqip ever!
I remember getting this. I was unbeatable
A truly overpowered card.
19Dragon Manipulator
Dragon Manipulator can control every type of dragon type monster on the field great for getting rid of your opponents best dragon cards!
20Elemental Hero Neos
This card is the most used card in all the fusions in yugioh(i think... )
and I have it in my E-Hero deck n I kill my opponent in 3 turns!
this is the best card ever.
and I have it in my E-Hero deck n I kill my opponent in 3 turns!
this is the best card ever.
Elemental Hero's are the coolest cards in YuGiOh. They aren't always the best, but there is a huge variety with a great story behind them!
Dude I have this card in my elemetal hero deck it's awesome you also should get terra firma, by using polomorsation fuse elemental woodsman and elemental hero ocean you can summon elemental hero terra firma I also have elemental hero pheonix enforcer (elemental hero flame wing man) by using fusion gate you can fuse elemental avian and elemental hero burstinitrix I would say elemental hero neos is awesome
21Uria, Lord of Searing Flames
ONe of the cheapest (as in really good) cards in the game. Combine this card with tiki soul/curse, stronghold the moving fortress, metal reflect slime, and many other trap card monsters. Don't forget to put one of the best cards for this deck, Imperial Custom.
22Malefic Truth Dragon
Best card I mean seriously destroy a silly malefic and then boom 5k attack and defense what more do you want
When this card destroys one monster, which it will, all monsters your opponent controls go poof.
It should be 5th but still it's the best I have
23Solemn Judgement
This card is amazing. Although it's banned, it is still known for negating pretty much anything.
24Bottomless Trap Hole
One of the best traps
25The Creator God of Light, Horakhty
The creator God of Light, Horakhty is so strong. It has infinite Attack and Defense. I got it in the Legendary Collection 1 (japanese version). Its so annoying that this card is illegal in tournaments. But I use it in fighting my Friend.
This is one of the few cards that has a true game winning effect.
Sacrifice all three god cards and automatically win the duel, also very cool looking!
[Newest]This card is boss
26Guardian Eatos
Great overall card, with awesome ability and can be special summoned if there are no monsters in your graveyard.
27Black Luster Soldier
This card was banned for a reason, draw this card on your first turn with Graceful Charity and you can most likely have yourself a first turn kill.
Very confused at why this card is not in the top 100 at the very least! Can attack twice or remove a monster from play! All you need to do is equip it with ribbon of rebirth and something to bump up its attack points and its already game over.
28Chaos Emperor Dragon: Envoy of the End
Once you get this card on the field you have basically won and it is super easy to summon.
People voting on this list obviously don't play the game competitively. Every card in the top 10 is crap in competitive play.
Hands down one of the best cards in the game. It's so good it's banned! It's easy to summon and its effect is a game changer if not a game winner.
[Newest]Easy to summon with a devastating effect, plus just looks too badass.
29Red Nova Dragon
What the heck this is like the best card ever when I summon it I basically win I mean this card is my god card or something. He beat slifer in a duel because slifer really sucks, what if you have no cards this guy has 5000 attack when first summoned if you have the tuners needed to summon him in your graveyard
Best card ever I love him he has a lot of attack. He is best because you can negate attacks and gain 500 attack for each tuner monster in your graveyard. He is awesome. Cool
This card is by far the best card I have. Whenever I get the chance to summon him I do because I know I will win if I do.
30The Creator
You can summon any monster you want from your grave yard using this card's effect by discarding 1 card. I think this card would be like number 5 if it required 1 tribute.
Can special summon monsters from the graveyard! Much better than monster reborn
31Dark Magician of Chaos
Dark Magician of Chaos is a good card and can do with out Dedication Through Light and Darkness and without Dark Magician in one's deck. If you was to assemble your deck with the right cards to keep him circulating on the field and in your hand, you can recycle important spell cards and still have the power to back you up on the field. A fine card indeed.
I think dark magician of chaos is the best magician of all yugioh magicians he should have a real poster I hope they make one I really have always wanted him but he is so rare.
This card brings 1 spell back to your hand and when he attacks the targeted monsters is removed from play! He also has great power and is in the Dark Magician family which I collect.
32Solemn Warning
Say no to Shi En.
33Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes
Has by far the best effect other than divines and he is also relatively easy to get out. This card for me is always one that can change the tide of battle in an instant
It's hard to find both cards to summon it but its virtually unstoppable
This card is awesome. For every turn, you get to take one monster from your opponent's side of the field and equip it to relinquished. This card really can't be destroyed because if it happens to be destoyed, the equip card is destroyed instead.
[Newest]Cool effect and if used correctly win for sure
35Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo
36Heavy Storm
I almost don't like the use of this card. True it can rid the field of all spell and trap cards, well I just said it... All! You may be in a jam and draw this card that can rid the field of of a threat, but could possibly spoil the plan you may have face down on your side of the field. Good card, but consider what this card can do depending on how you assemble your deck especially if you have traps that may be an important foundation in your blueprint.
Easiest thing for all of the annoying things that any soul may put in their trap and spell zone! Rid it all to heck!
37Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
This card is completely OP
Why isn't this number one? Best xyz card ever. 4500 ATK/3000DEF BEATS THE COMPETITION! If galaxy-eyes photon dragon is a xyz material, you can negate the activation of all other cards on the field. Gives you a clear blow on the opponent. You can dedatch one xyz from this card to remove all xyz materials from your opponent and it gains 500 ATK for each of them. Imagen detaching 5. But the best part is, for every xyz material removed from the opponents monsters, it can attack again for each one. Now imagen attacking 5 times with 7000 ATK. Best god dame card ever. Belongs in number 1.
38Tribe - Infecting Virus
I don't know if it's rare or not but with it you could wipe out the most powerful monsters in the game
39Gaia Drake, the Universal Force
Gaia drake, the universal force is so cool looking, and attack is ok, bu effect is not as good...
40Stardust Dragon
You can tribute it from your hand to stop your opponents monster effects, then it destroys your opponents monster, and can be summoned from the graveyard at the end phase, and you can also summon a stardust dragon from your graveyard when it is destroyed
Why isn't this card in the top ten. You can tribute this card to negate any effect and then summon it bak on the field in the end phase, it also has 2500 attack and 2000 definitely (as good as dark magician).
I have this card in my deck and I have never lost a duel
41Judgement Dragon
Wipe the field for 1000 LP and you can do it more than one time a turn. Light Sworn fills the grave so easily the summon requirement is a joke. Even without that killer effect its a 3000 attack beatstick. Has to be the top card in the whole game
Combine this card with the wickedest Lightsworns and you practically always win. Check out this card's unstoppable effect out!
Okay, I know I was the one that added "Judgment Dragon" not this misspelled Judgement Dragon.
42The Wicked Dreadroot
The Wicked Dreadroot should be in the top 10s because it is equally as powerful as Obelisk and it halfs all monsters attack in half (a very useful power to have especially when combined with "Deck Devastation Virus".
Atk/4000 definitely/4000
All other monsters atk and definitely are halved
Kills any other monster easily, even the god cards get killed by it
All other monsters atk and definitely are halved
Kills any other monster easily, even the god cards get killed by it
43Dark Hole
It is awesome but the only problem is that it is a banned card so I can't use it in a championship, but you could use it when you are playing with your friends which is ok but I think that it shouldn't be in the banned list. But other than that you can typically use it to wipe out all cards for your opponent if you have no cards and he has a ton!
Very good cars. I have the spectacular edition one with the ultra rare golden border. Defiantly a great card to have in your deck. It deserve like 15
I especially value this card, because the power of gravity is so strong! Additionally I like the artwork of this card and hence it should be even better than place 22.
[Newest]You can kill any card with it!
44Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Easy to find
great effect:when this card is sent to the graveyard attach this card to that card and it has zero attack
great effect:when this card is sent to the graveyard attach this card to that card and it has zero attack
Amazing card! Had never heard of it before and it now makes a big difference in every duel!
46Destiny Hero Plasma
Negate the effects of all face-up monsters your opponent controls.Best effect!
-Cannot be destroyed by battle
-set it face-down and let your opponent atk and take 1000 direct damage
-set it face-down and let your opponent atk and take 1000 direct damage
WHY IS THIS CARD NOT AT THE TOP! IT can't BE DESTROYED BY BATTLE! YOU CAN LET YOUR OPPONENT TAKE 1000 DAMAGE! VOTE FOR IT BECAUSE ITS THE BEST!
I love THIS AWESOME CARD
[newest]My friend hates this card so much that he has learned to reconise the bends in my Marshmallon card!
48XX-Saber Gottoms
It has so many attack!
49Number 39: Utopia
Utopia is epic. I got in 6 place in a tournament with it!
Remove I xyz mtarial and negate a attack. It's pretty handy
Utopia should be one of the tops once per turn use an overlay unit to negat attacks from other monsters on the feild
[Newest]Utopia is the best card
One of the best cards ever released. 2400 attack/1 sacrifice for its time was amazing, and still is. Negating any pre-existing Traps or Traps to come. Match him alongside Black Luster Soldier ~ Envoy of the Beginning, and it's end game for your opponent.
51Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder
Its awesome 4000 attk 4000 deff but its effect is cool
Great card, very effective!
52Rainbow Neos
53Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
This is a hot card. In a way, it is more powerful that most cards that special summons from the graveyard. Depending on how you assemble your deck, you can have a line up of dragons 2 or more strong with hard hitting attack points. All it takes is one discarded card. It is one of the easiest card produced and personally, I'd make this illegal because of its powerful advantage if used wisely.
This card is so awesome due to its effect that it had to be limited to one. Without this card in a dragon deck you will surely be on the weaker side. This is a main card in any dragon deck and will provide you with quick kills due to its summoning ability. A must have card.
Awesome effect, just awesome. By sacrificing just 1 dragon type monster, you can special summon this card! Plus, once per turn, you can special summon 1 dragon-type monster!
54Shooting Star Dragon
Awesome simply the best synchro
55Gandora the Dragon of Destruction
YES! I love this card, having a jinzo on the field so no trap cards can be used as a reaction to this card makes its effect certain, for half your life points you destroy all cards on the field and gain 200attack for each card destroyed. This is absolutely devastating in a 6v6 duel. I defeated a team of 6 duellists with this card.
Its awesome you can do some major damage against your opponents lp. Its also not overpowered like others.
This card is amazing
56The Calculator
With my dark world deck the calculator would have 45300
57Magician of Black Chaos
58Toon Dark Magician Girl
It's perma-banned for a reason... Never letting your opponent draw ever again is a pretty overpowered ability
60Petit Dragon
This card is too powerful. It should be banned for being too broken. Seriously, its insane!
This card is so powerful. All you idiots for Exodia or Blue Eyes Rape Dragon have nothing on this card. It will win every duel and leave your opponents trembling in fear. I pee myself whenever I draw this card, and I get a little handgasm just by holding it. There is no better card.
... If you have a sense of humor, then you would vote for this card
... If you have a sense of humor, then you would vote for this card
61Raviel, Lord of Phantasms
I have one in my fiend deck its really strong
If you have a blue eyes with you he has 7000 attack 7000!
62Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu
Direct attack, can't be attacked,3000 ATK and deals 4k dmg in one blow under mound of bound creature none of the god cards can beat earthbound Immortals in 1 on 1 also it hasn't got hard summon conditions
63Master Hyperion
This is the most awesome card ever. It's ability is better than any other card's ability.
It's the most boss card in the whole entire game.
64Shooting Quasar Dragon
It is just the most awesome card in the whole world!
How is this ranked lower than Shooting Star Dragon? When it's destroyed you automatically get a Shooting Star Dragon.
Should be in the top three, if not the very top. Very little can survive the wrath of Shooting Quasar Dragon.
It is just the most awesome card in the whole world!
65The Wicked Eraser
Quite simply: one of the best, if not THE BEST card in the entire game, not only does it gain 1000 attack for every card your opponent has on the field, it destroyed, it destroys ALL cards on the field! Plus: you can destroy it yourself! It's should really be in the top ten on this list.
Its awesome this card gains 1000 for every card your opponent controls and if its destroyed the whole fiel gets wiped out
66Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon
With this card you can summon 1 dragon type monster per turn. I know all the other cards you guys have said are awesome especially all the blue eyes and red eyes dragons too. Red eyes has always helped me in a tight spot when I need him.
This card gains 300 attack for each dragon type card in the graveyard epic effect for a dragon type deck!
67Junk Destroyer
This card sucks I would want to play junk warrior instead
68Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World
69White Night Dragon
Awesome card it can not get destroyed by a spell or trap boss
70Giant Germ
Special Summon any monster with the same name from your deck. Imagine 3 blue eyes, dark magicians, etc.
71Theinen the Great Sphinx
72Lava Golem
No matter what is you opponent monster attack definitely, effect, summon this card by tributing 2 monster they contol... Two their best monster become this card
Love this card. very useful
Great card after all it has 3000 atk
73Man-Eater Bug
74Beast King Barbaros
Sacrifice 3 monsters, and all of your opponent's cards (including spells and traps) are destroyed. Yeah.
75Magic Cylinder
76Gate Guardian
Pretty cool card. I'm getting it on amazon. Com.
77Destiny End Dragoon
Quite easy to get this card out with Elemental Hero Stratos and a few Dogmas and Plasmas. Once I get this card out I never lose, it just keeps coming back!
Destiny End Dragon is one of the BEST yugioh card ever made!
If this is on your side of play there is no way in hell you can lose I mean being able to destroy one card and inflict that much damage straigt to your opponents life points is killer
78Rescue Rabbit
Well, this one's a doozy. While good in the graveyard, if you don't draw it early on it can't be of much use. Basically it can be banished to special summon two level 4 normal monsters from your deck. That's a easy synchro if you have other monsters on the field, or an easy XYZ. Or, for a last ditch strategy, deploy your two level 4's with high defense so your opponents cannot attack easily, and build up your forces behind a wall.
79Crush Card Virus
One of the early cards to get BANNED from any professional gameplay. Has the ultimate trap card effect and wins duels in 1 turn.
Will stop most of every deck
80Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus
81Gilford the Lightning
Gilford the lightning is the best none of my friends have him and with magnum shield he is unstoppable
I love this card it is one of favorite cards in my warrior deck
Can leave the other guy monsterless and you with a great advantage, what can be better? (;
82Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua
Can attack you opponent penis
83Chimeratech Overdragon
84Airknight Parshath
This incredible monster can inflict piercing battle damage and by each battle damage you can draw a card! Unbeatable in combination with luminous sparks!
85Ancient Gear Golem
Simple to use. Ignores any effect during attack phase. With ancient gear castle its a quick summon
86My Body As a Shield
87Prime Material Dragon
Great card because instead of losing life points, you gain them. It's cons are that it can be destroyed and it counts for your opponent. But a certain spell card could change that... (-:
88Paladin of White Dragon
Summoned by White Dragon Ritual, which tributes one level 4. Although you do need to have both spell and ritual in hand, this can easily summon Blue-Eyes in one turn, or attack your opponent's face down with it, destroying it without flipping, then activate Maine Phase 2 and tribute summon Blue-Eyes
89Red Eyes Zombie Dragon
Needs 1 zombie tribute to get on the field, and when it defeats an opponents zombie card it can be brought back on your side of the field. Amazing when combined with zombie world.
90Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua
You know the Earthbound Immortal the one that looks like a dark shark? It has 2900 atk and can attack you directly! Also it can't be destroyed by battle. What could be better?
The best earth bound card every
91Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu
Its effect is awesome
92Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja
93Giant Turtle Who Feeds On Flames
94Pale Beast
It is not stupid
95Pot of Avarice
You'd have to really know how to assemble a deck to take advantage of it power. Just remember this. Take this advice, this card is good for when you need to conduct a form of a special summon of monsters that are limited for instant reuse. If you use this card in your deck, make sure there are more than 2 tricks for the summoning of powerful or puzzle piece monsters or this card will only shine once.
You take five cards from your graveyard
96Winged Kuriboh
Mamagoochie winged kuriboh is awesome
97Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis
Screw red nova dragon every turn you can put one xyz on him that gives him more attack and defense not only that you take an xyz off him you can destroy minimum amount of monsters on the field.
98Cybernetic Magician
99Dragunity Vajrayana
100Thousand Eye Restrict
Thousand eyes restrict can take on the attack and definitely of any given monster... I would definitely put in top ten as it can blow many other monsters out of the water

Comic book writer Alan Moore is best known for stories that Hollywood attempted to make into the next big thing – "V For Vendetta" and "Watchmen." After those, he's often thought of for his run on the DC comic book Swamp Thing. But his most underrated work might also be his most inventive. Tom Strong, which
debuted from America's Best Comics in
1999, plays out as if there are no boundaries or limitations to the stories. The stakes are always at their highest and the title character has free-run of time and space. A Doc Savage type hero, Tom Strong has no super powers, but instead is a perfect specimen thanks to his scientist parents. On the remote island Attabar Teru, they raised and educated him in an isolation chamber that provided increased gravity. While that resulted in his superior strength, he was fed a vegetarian diet that included the native Goloka root – perfect for promoting longevity and higher cognitive awareness. From childhood to his adult years, he is aided by the "pneumatic man" that his father built, Pneuman.
Hold on tight, yer gonna need a dehydrator to accomplish this mission. The "Tom Strong burger" as we're calling it was a complete accident – "let's see what we can make out of what's left in the fridge." We photographed it open-face style, and the bread is THE Famous Onion Bread from the Raw Freedom Community. The burger is actually from a "Neat" Balls recipe in The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon & Brian Clemment. If you don't own a dehydrator, you can use an oven at the lowest temperature with the door partially open (this may destroy some enzymes).
3 tablespoons flax seeds, ground
6 tablespoons water
1 cup carrot pulp
1 cup sunflower seeds, ground
1/2 cup finely minced celery
6 tablespoons finely minced onion (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons finely minced parsley
2 tablespoons finely minced red pepper
2 teaspoons liquid aminos
Use an electric coffee grinder to finely grind the flax seeds and the sunflower seeds. The carrot pulp is what is left over after you juice carrots. In a blender, blend the ground flax seed and water, immediately pour mixture into a bowl
and set aside. Rinse the blender container out immediately. In a medium size bowl, thoroughly stir together carrot pulp, ground sunflower seeds, celery, onion, parsley, red pepper and liquid aminos. Add the flax seed mixture and mix thoroughly. Add more water if necessary to make the consistency to form patties. Form into six 1/2 inch thick patties. Dehydrate for 4-8 hours, or leave in sun until warm, or place in warm oven for 10-15 minutes. Makes 6 balls or patties. For that real hamburger effect, top it off with caramelized onions.
This doesn't taste like a great veggie burger… it tastes like an awesome hamburger! Favorite one we've ever made.

The Live CD features a minimal boot prompt that has been designed from the ground up to automatically start the live operating system in eight seconds from the moment the user boots the ISO image from the BIOS of a computer, using either a CD disc or a USB flash drive of 512MB or higher capacity. A comprehensive list of boot options can be accessed by pressing the F2 key at the boot prompt. As always, press the Enter key if you're in a hurry!
Minimal, old-school desktop environment for legacy computers
To access the graphical desktop environment, the user must first select a mouse device and a keyboard layout from a list, as well as the display server of choice. The graphical session features an old-school look, it is powered by IceWM and comprises of a single panel located on the bottom edge of the screen, from where users can launch applications and interact with running programs.
Bottom line

Another face of the Franchise "49ers"- Alex Smith
DIRTY ARMY intel: With the recent Matt Leinhert news I felt it was necessary to show that Alex Smith rather take underage girls to Mexico than try and have a better completion percentage than 50%.
Matt Leinart please take some tips from Alex Smith. If you are going to hook up with minors and get them drunk at least take them to Mexico.
What is up with these young Quarterbacks that are the FACE of their franchises getting DIRTY! I think I need to take the heat off the NFL and bring the Boris Diaw pictures back. He loves the youth.- nik

1940's Swimsuit and Bikini Styles with PicturesPosted by admin on Feb 18, 2011 in Uncategorized | Comments Off
1940's Swimsuits
Swimwear in the 1940s, like many other clothing items, was also losing its modesty. The '40s was the era when the midriff was born, and it was shown in swimsuits as well as playsuits. Swimsuits were tight, unlike the suits of previous eras. One-piece swimsuits were still popular, but the new two-piece suit had plenty of fans too. The materials used to make swimsuits today were not invented yet, so suits were made from rayon jersey and rayon jersey blends with knit cotton linings. Swimwear featured stretchy control panels in the stomach, made from a new type of material called lastex, and bra cups in the bust to keep the figure looking good in the revealing (by '40s standards of course) suits. Any color could be found on a swimsuit, but patriotic colors were popular. Floral patterns and polka dots were used too. Suits fastened with small metal zippers in the back.
The one-piece swimsuit looked like a very tight, short dress. Cleavage still wasn't shown in swimwear, so the V top was just high enough with thin straps. The bra top resembled a full-coverage bra. The suit then extended down into a tight 'skirt' that would cover the backside completely. The back of the suit would be even with the chest. The one-piece offered plenty of shaping, and sometimes had boning in the stomach area to offer additional support. A halter top was also popular – the suit would look the same except the straps tied at the neck. A new feature of some one-pieces bared a little bit of skin – a small triangle of fabric would be cut out underneath the bust to show some stomach.
The bikini was officially invented in 1946 and named after the Bikini Atoll in the south Pacific where the U.S. performed nuclear tests. This suit was tiny, and although it came a little bit high up, it more closely resembled the two-pieces we wear today. However, this wasn't the style of two-piece that was usually worn in the '40s – it was a little bit too revealing. Even before the bikini, women started wearing two-piece swimsuits that looked just like one-pieces cut in half. The top was a full-coverage bra top, either with two thin straps or a halter top. The bottom looked like a tight mini-skirt, starting from the waistline and covering the entire backside. Another popular style of skirt for the two-piece was a flared bottom of the same length. A top that started to gain in popularity was even more revealing – a bandeau top with strings attached to the center front that tied at the neck.
www.glamoursurf.com – Vintage swimsuits, playclothes, and lingerie
Tip: It's very hard to vintage swimwear. Vintage swimsuits are also uncomfortable, compared to modern fit and fabrics. Thankfully, most reproduction swimsuits are made of modern Lyrca material and refitted with modern construction techniques.

Last weekend was the first weekend with the new law implemented under the administration of President Rafael Correa to diminish the crime rate and to stimulate tourism in Ecuador by increasing safety. Up to know alcohol was accessible almost everywhere in Ecuador, from bars, café´s, disco´s over supermarkets to the small shops. In the past, several bills were passed already to regulate the alcohol consume and excessive partying. Two weeks ago it was no problem to buy alcohol and to order drinks in public locations, although there has been already a law which prohibiting the sale of alcohol to underage persons. All Clubs and disco´s were open till 3 o´clock in the morning and alcohol could be consumed everywhere until they closed. Even after parties took place in certain saloons until 5 or 6 in the morning. During the past years the Mariscal in Quito has become to the so-called "zona rosa" (pink zone/party zone), where also most of the tourists go out.It has been possible to party from Monday till Saturday, whereas special nights at different clubs and bars offered 2×1 specials, ladie´s nights, theme parties, etc etc. where mostly girls have never had to pay entrance and got at least one drink for free. At other bars it has been common to get Mojito´s, Caipirinha´s, etc for only 1,50$ and those were the places where people would go for the "pre-drinking" before hitting the dance floor at one of the clubs. Due to the increase of the crime rate, especially in this zone and the excessive alcohol consume among certain social groups and certain places a new bill was passed. Since last Friday, 18th of June, saloons and stores can sell alcohol during the week only till 00.00hs, Friday´s and Saturdays till 02.00hs and Sunday´s it is totally prohibited to buy and consume alcoholic drinks. In most cases the saloons also close at this hour since they cannot sell anything anymore. This is also the reason why many of them have already demonstrated especially in the Mariscal, Quito and most of the people still hope that this law will not have any success and do not believe in the aim to reduce the crime rate this way. For us it was also very strange at the beginning to watch a football game on a Sunday without a beer or to leave the club on a Saturday at already 01.45hs in the morning. Anyways during the week it has a great advantage: party starts earlier and you can still go out and work the next day without being sleepy !
Party night in Quito with the new law

text: No matter how spent guitar rock seems to be, bands like Powderfinger prove that there's still terrain left to be explored. On the Brisbane quintet's fourth album and U.S. debut, melancholy is the default mode. On ''My Happiness'' and ''Up & Down & Back Again,'' singer Bernard Fanning's heavy heart is tattered by scratching and clawing guitars -- but Powderfinger can be as prim as Travis or as mock-grandiose as Oasis.

Executive order creates total dictatorship
Submitted by Alexis Bentley of Houston
The National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order was signed by President Obama March 16, giving the White House absolute control over the country's natural resources.
The text of the document does not limit implementation to a time of war.
In fact, the specific sections of the order make it clear the President can take complete command and control of the country's natural resources in peacetime, as well.
In the order, the President granted to himself the authority to approve the dispensing of all domestic energy, production, transportation, food and water supplies.
Also, "upon request by the Director of Selective Service, and in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, assist the Director of Selective Service in development of policies regulating the induction and deferment of persons in the armed services." What does this sound like?
A dictatorship or a people's republic?
Abuses of power lead to tyranny.
Many of these types of orders have been signed, Congress by-passed.
Congress has also quietly passed into law bills which are unconstitutional.
Right before a complete take over, citizens are then stripped of property rights and guns.
More than 70 members of Congress belong to Democratic Socialists of America.
"We The People" are no longer represented. Get Out of Our House (goooh.com) is a non-partisan group whose goal is to place citizen candidates on the ballot.
If we care about your freedom and rights, then we'd better get busy participating and vote for someone other than the incumbent.

Full title: Υδραργυρος
Hydragyros is the Greek name for Mercury; which was then Latinsed to Hydrargyrum, which is where Mercury's Hg denomination comes from. It is a liquid metal - often called quicksilver - that is particularly poisonous.
This image was taken for a college assignment; the same one as for Neptune Rising. This is one of the failed attempts at catching a water crown, but the concentric waves came out particularly cleanly, so I decided to add a little post-work to reach this conclusion. The majority of said post-work was contrast bumps as the original image was fairly flat.
Thank-you for that, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's interesting to see the motion of water, especially in photography.

Jim Dillon
Capturing the Moment
This is how you'll likely see Jim Dillon at a WCTE event – peeking out from behind a camera. He's been taking candid shots for the station since 1999, donating hours of his time and extraordinary photographic skills. Whether it's the excitement of the Great TV Auction, the action at the Live Green Tennessee 5K or the fun of Stations of Imagination, Jim is there, a smile on his face and his trusty Canon camera in hand.
So why does he do it?
"It's important. WCTE is a real asset to the community," said Jim. "It's local and yet it promotes us well beyond the region. Everybody in the whole country knows what we do and how good we are thanks to our station."
"WCTE is a great place full of genuine, hardworking, welcoming people. I enjoy being around them and appreciate what they do. From the Putnam County Fair to Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree, from TTU events to high school sports, they are always out there in the community."
Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Jim's grandparents frequently came to the Cookeville area, spending as much time as they could here. Jim would often come down too. He loved the region and the people and always knew he would retire here. In his early 30's, he asked himself why he was waiting for retirement. In 1992, he made the move.
His love of photography started when he was a kid and was given a little, green plastic camera. Even then he enjoyed capturing the moment, a memory that will never come around again.
"You don't realize how much work there is to watch and photograph and get some great candid shots of people. The shot is not always where the action is happening – it is people's reaction, capturing the emotion."
Jim is a published photographer. His photos have appeared in the Dayton Daily News, the Journal Herald in Dayton, USA Volleyball magazine, Cookeville's Herald-Citizen, Celebrations, TTU media, programs, websites just to name a few. You will see him shooting at Tech sports events, for Habitat for Humanity and a number of other causes.
Yet he never takes a dime.
"I do it for me and not for someone else," Jim said. "I can offer a service for people who can't afford it. I enjoy seeing people's reactions – they are genuinely grateful and appreciative."

Blocking and Filtering and Lockdowns, Oh, My!: The Internet-Security Overreaction
This past year, I've been working with school districts and schools in many places, and it's been such a great learning experience as I've had the opportunity to see teachers everywhere doing incredible things, sometimes in spite of very tough testing schedules, complex accountability guidelines, and rigid pacing guides. Still, they carry on, forging ahead, trying out project-based learning, extended multimedia learning units, technology-rich lessons, and so on. One issue that I'm finding proves difficult, however, regardless of where I go, is the Internet-filtering systems in place in some districts.
I understand the whole filtering issue, and I fully support some level of safeguard in classrooms. I also understand we have laws and regulations in place designed to protect children's safety (the Children's Internet Protection Act [CIPA]) and the privacy of our children (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act [COPPA]). I have a ten-year-old daughter, and I would be very wary of sitting her down in front of a computer and telling her to simply have an unguided search session to see what she can learn. She'd learn lots, no doubt -- lots that I don't care for her to learn just yet, or things I'd rather teach her myself.
However, I'm finding that in some districts and schools, the filtering and blocking system seems to be in overdrive. Teachers tell me regularly that wikis and blogs are blocked across the board, for everyone. This is unfortunate because not only does this prevent our students from using these incredible tools, but our teachers are also unable to take advantage of a brilliant avenue for learning, collaboration, and communication that wasn't possible just a few years back. Some of the best educator blogs are blocked in some schools, and I just can't figure out why.
You know, pencils can be really dangerous, too -- and desks as well. I taught elementary school, and I can't tell you how many times students got stuck by pencil lead and desks fell over. I also can tell you that my own child has seen some strange things while sightseeing in Washington, DC, and other places. But we prep her ahead of time; we talk about what's out there, what's good, what's bad; and we try to impart street smarts. I understand the risk of taking her out in public. I also understand that in order for her to appreciate, use, respect, and harness everything around her, she has to experience it. She has me, her mom, and her wonderful teachers to help guide her along the way.
I think educators are pretty smart people. We figure out ways to use new things in our classrooms in spite of their potential risks. We set up expectations, rules, and consequences. I know I'm oversimplifying this issue a little, but the point remains the same: It's 2007, and blogs, wikis, and the like are powerful tools that need to be a part of our classrooms. Students are using these outside the classroom, so why not find an educational, productive way to allow them inside? This would give us a chance to impart some media smarts while taking advantage of some pretty powerful tools. For example, check out this interesting use of wikis in the classroom.
Share your stories, reactions, and experiences with finding the balance between blocking and unlocking. What works? How do we comply with CIPA but not put a total lockdown in place that prevents teachers and students from accessing critical learning tools?

Currently here in NSW Department of Education & Training, we are faced with similar issues. The system has opted for a 'one size fits all' regime across K-12 and for vocational education Institutions. However after much uproar the Dept has
retracted its policy and allows for individual schools to modedrate their own filtering. But currently each school must apply on a casae by casae instance to have sites unblocked. Understandably for many teachers this is too much hassle and they retreat off the Net. The issue of 'Duty of care' etc needs to be considered in terms of denying students access they have at home to the real information economy.
As an elementary school principal, I can see the need for filtering. However, our district has gone to the extreme in my opinion. Because a few teachers were visiting MY SPACE accounts and shopping online, we all are strapped with a filter so tight that access to several good sites is blocked. We have to request for a site to be unblocked. Any site, including grant opportunites, that are affiliated with a major corporation (Target, Sears, Wal-Mart, etc)is blocked because it categorizes the site as "shopping." Access to blogs of any kind is prohibited. Limited access is one thing. Zero access is another.
At the school where I was an English teacher and Technology Coordinator, as quickly as sites were blocked, kids found proxy sites to bypass the Chicago Board of Education censors. In my lab, I had monitoring software, which I used periodically to get a sense of what students did and where they did it. Rarely, if ever, did they go to sites that were really objectionable. Usually, they just wanted to communicate with others. OMG, they were using the medium to communicate, but Central Office has a great need to CONTROL. They have blocked YouTube, numerous file sharing and file storage sites, and even blocked Yahoo's Briefcase, where I have nearly a dozen years of Language Arts tests, quizzes, and other resources. What's really enlightening is that when I need to access a censored site, I find a tech savvy student to get the latest proxy site. The bureaucrats have dummied down the curriculum, and now the Internet.
Most IT departments in schools are undermanned and underfunded. The tech guy does not have time to block every bad site on the entire World Wide Web. This is a GROSS misunderstanding among teachers. Most schools subscribe to blocking services. The blocking service chooses sites to block and schools choose the categories of media that they want blocked. If we don't want kids to have access to Blogs, Wikis, and Chats on inappropriate topics, then we need to block all blogs, wikis and chats. We can open up specific sites but this too is cumbersome, because it requires "unlocking" every single page of a site that teachers want access to.
Here's a tech solution. If you want a blog or wiki that your kids can use, set up a web server in your school and host a blog or wiki on the inside of the filter. If you want a chat for your class, you can do that too on the inside of the filter. Most schools have websites that could also host chats, discussion boards and wikis. The district won't block their site. Software for these web 2.0 applications can be found for free on the web but someone has to set it up. If you want to use this stuff in the classroom, get your feet wet in the tech and learn how to set it up!
The dangers that lurk outside are not the fault of the IT department and they don't have time to "unlock" 1000's of pages on the internet. At some point we as teachers have to take the responsibility for finding workable solutions that are acceptable to all parties involved. The administration needs to pony-up the money to fund good filtering services that allow for differentiation between teachers and students.
Administration also needs to realize that most industries have 1 tech per 200 computers and this assumes that 1 computer = 1 user. How many schools have funded that kind of technology help ratio? Technology costs money. If we want to use it effectively in education we need to convince the people who fund it that it is worthwhile. We should not abuse the techs who work tirelessly to maintain it.
I teach full time.
I work tech on the side.
I will soon have a Masters in Educational Technology.
I'm tired of being blamed for "blocking" teachers.
ISTE suggests the following as Satisfactory Efficiency
Computer-to-technician ratio is
between 75:1 and 150:1.
Sorry for the rant, but this topic always stings me a bit.
I have been very lucky in that I am currently working in an independent girls school. Each girl (and teacher) from Year 5 through to year 12 is provided with a MacBook. Each machine is preloaded with a Standard Operating Environment (including Adobe CS3, MS Office Pro, iLife, iWork and more). Each girl has an administrator password to add or remove software as she requires. Our net access is logged but not filtered. And guess what? We have very few incidents of misuse. Over 1200 machines in a 95% wireless environment. Just goes to show that education works better than external control.
Hi Kim,
Thanks for sharing that - I wish other schools would consider that option. I think there will always be incidences where students purposely try to do inappropriate things - but they do that anyway on the recess playground, football games, etc. We teach them, guide them, deal with issues, etc. I just think locking to the extreme is more dangerous than some flexibility.

Hi, Dr. Lam
I have been wanting a lip reduction done but I have not been able to see a surgeon for a consultation, who actually specializes in reduction of lips( in the same state where I live). There are three things that I would like to achieve with a reduction and a shaping procedure. My lips are very full and my top lip is a little bigger than my bottom lip.My top lip seems to project over my bottom lip and it sort of turns downward(near the corners).First I would like a resolution to decrease the size of my top lip and I would also like if I can get a lift in the corners so that i have a less downward look of my lip.Lastly I would like to get rid of the tissue(a little) inside my upper lip, between the nose and top of my cupid brow.This seems to make my lip bigger than what it is,like a puffy or bulky lip.One thing I forgot, is there a way to reshape my top lip.I have big lips but there isnt much shape to them?Please write me back with your ideas of how I am able to achieve this.Thanks

An emphasis on the collective aspect of practice using the five precepts is woven into the fabric of this retreat.
Participants will have the opportunity for daily, individual conversations with retreat leaders about their meditation practice.
Participants are welcome to tent on the grounds.
Meals will be light and snacks will be provided. After a brief introduction, and a question and answer period the first evening, we will be in Noble Silence until the morning of the final day.
At Aryaloka, we strive to make our programs available to everyone regardless of their financial circumstances. Our fee structure allows you to pay according to your means. The Sustaining price is for people comfortably paying their rent or mortgage, and who can afford the occasional meal out and movie. The Sustaining price level also helps Aryaloka offer lower prices to those who could otherwise not afford to attend. Any payment above this price is a tax-deductible donation. Mid-Level prices are for those who have a regular income and are paying their mortgage or rent. Prices at this level contribute to the range of Aryaloka's operating costs. The Base-Level price is for those without an income or with an income low enough that making ends meet is a challenge. Those whose circumstances are not included above can call the office to arrange alternate pricing.

|Our overhead single 1/2hp door opener is a 1995 Legacy model. The original remote died and was replaced with a model: ocdftd38l....which is acting up after just a few years. ODH said they could sell me a new remote but it would only operate one of my 2 doors. They said to look elsewhere for one that would work both. Is there a genie brand that might work for me for this older model odh door?
