Bunion (hallux valgus)
If the joint that connects your big toe to your foot has a swollen, sore bump, you may have a bunion. More than half the women in America have bunions, a common deformity associated with wearing tight, narrow shoes, and high heels. Bunions may also have a familial origin as well. Nine out of ten bunions happen to women. With a bunion, the base of your big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint) gets larger and sticks out. The skin over it may be red and tender. Wearing any type of shoe may be painful. This joint flexes with every step you take. The bigger your bunion gets, the more it hurts to walk. Bursitis may set in. Your big toe may angle toward your second toe, or even move all the way under it. The skin on the bottom of your foot may become thicker and painful. Pressure from your big toe may force your second toe out of alignment, sometimes overlapping your third toe. An advanced bunion may make your foot look grotesque. If your bunion gets too severe, it may be difficult to walk. Your pain may become chronic and you may develop arthritis.
Many bunions are treatable without surgery and prevention is always best. To minimize your chances of developing a bunion, never force your foot into a shoe that doesn't fit. Choose shoes that conform to the shape of your feet. Go for shoes with wide insteps, broad toes and soft soles. Avoid shoes that are short, tight or sharply pointed, and those with heels higher than 2 1/4 inches. If you already have a bunion, wear shoes that are roomy enough to not put pressure on it. This should relieve most of your pain.
If your bunion has progressed to the point where you have difficulty walking or you experience pain despite accommodative shoes, you may need surgery. Additionally, if the bunion is causing pain and deformity (such as a claw toe) to the 2nd toe, if the bunion is not allowing the appropriate weight distribution across the forefoot and causing overload to other parts of the foot, or because continued progression of the deformity, further treatment may be necessary. The surgery itself is complex and requires significant surgical skill to appropriately realign the bone, capsule lining, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and other soft tissues of the foot artfully. This can be performed in by multiple different methods and different degrees of bone work may be necessary. This should be performed by a surgeon skilled in correcting the bunions in multiple different ways so that the most appropriate method required for each patient's specific type of bunion is utilized. Surgery is performed in a same-day basis (no hospital stay) using an ankle-block anesthesia. The first few days after surgery can be extremely painful and rest and elevation is essential. In the first few weeks after surgery, pain may persist whenever the foot is placed in a dependent position and thus elevation should be utilized whenever possible. Patients require follow-up every 2 weeks after surgery for the first 6 weeks to have the foot rebandaged in order to maintain the soft tissue correction performed during the surgery. Once the swelling has decreased, a return to shoes can be expected. The overall recovery is related to the type of bunion procedure necessary but full return to activity, running, and sports may not occur for up to 3 to 4 months. Swelling may persist for 6 to 12 months depending upon the amount of correction that was performed.
If you have a painful swollen lump on the outside of your foot near the base of your little toe, it may be a bunionette (tailor's bunion). You may also have a hard corn and painful bursitis in the same spot. A bunionette is very much like a bunion. Wearing shoes that are too tight may cause it. Get shoes that fit comfortably with a soft upper and a roomy toe box. In cases of persistent pain or severe deformity, surgical correction is possible. The surgical correction is similar to that as described for a regular bunion but in general, the recovery may be quicker and necessary correction may be less extensive.
Dr. Vora has written extensively about corrective bunion surgery, revision surgery from previously failed bunion surgery, and different options utilized to cut the bone (osteotomies) utilized to correct bunion during surgery and is familiar and effective utilizing multiple different techniques, utilizing the most appropriate procedure for each patient that will allow for the quickest recovery and maximize outcomes and expectations. Dr. Vora performs this procedure on an outpatient basis, utilizing immediate weight bearing, and prescribes medications and utilizes other techniques to minimize pain during recovery to make the experience as pleasing as possible.

Arthritis of the Big Toe Joint (hallux rigidus)
The most common site of arthritis in the foot is at the base of the big toe. This joint is called the metatarsophalangeal, or MTP joint. It's important because it has to bend every time you take a step. If the joint starts to stiffen, walking can become painful and difficult.
In the MTP joint, as in any joint, the ends of the bones are covered by a smooth articular cartilage. If wear-and-tear or injury damage the articular cartilage, the raw bone ends can rub together. A bone spur, or overgrowth, may develop on the top of the bone. This overgrowth can prevent the toe from bending as much as it needs to when you walk. The result is a stiff big toe, or hallux rigidus.
Hallux rigidus usually develops in adults between the ages of 30 and 60 years but may develop at a younger age in somebody who has had trauma to the toe joint or is particularly athletic. No one knows why it appears in some people and not others. It may result from an injury to the toe that damages the articular cartilage or from differences in foot anatomy that increase stress on the joint.
Some of the signs and symptoms patients experience include pain in the joint when you are active, especially as you push-off on the toes when you walk, swelling around the joint, a bump, like a bunion or callus, that develops on the top of the foot (dorsal bunion), and / or stiffness in the great toe and an inability to bend it up or down. If you find it difficult to bend your toe up and down or find that you are walking on the outside of your foot because of pain in the toe, medical attention should be considered. Hallux rigidus is easier to treat when the condition is caught early. If you wait until you see a bony bump on the top of your foot, the bone spurs will have already developed and the condition may be more difficult to treat. X-rays will show the location and size of any bone spurs, as well as the degree of degeneration in the joint space and cartilage.
Non-operative treatment s such as anti-inflammatory medications and icing may ease the pain but they aren't enough to stop the condition from progressing. Wearing a shoe with a large toe box will reduce the pressure on the toe, and you will probably have to give up wearing high heels. A stiff-soled shoe , sometimes with a rocker or roller bottom design may also provide relief as this type of shoe reduces the amount of bend in the big toe and as such may decrease the associated pain with motion.
Surgical options for hallux rigidus depend upon the degree of arthritis within the joint. Cheilectomy (kI-lek'-toe-me) is usually recommended when damage is mild or moderate. It involves removing the bone spurs as well as a portion of the foot bone, so the toe has more room to bend. The incision is made on the top of the foot. The toe and the operative site may remain swollen for several months after the operation, and you will have to wear a wooden-soled sandal for at least two weeks after the surgery. Most patients do experience long-term relief but the underlying arthritis in the joint is not removed so some pain may persist, and additional surgery may be necessary in the future. Arthrodesis (are-throw-dee'-sis) is a procedure where the bones of the big toe joint are welded, or fused together. This is often recommended when the damage to the cartilage is severe. The damaged cartilage is removed and pins, screws, or a plate are used to fix the joint in a permanent position. This type of surgery means that you will not be able to bend the toe at all at this specific joint but it is the most reliable way to reduce pain in these severe cases. During the recovery, you will be able walk immediately but will be required to use wooden-soled rigid shoe for the first 6 weeks after surgery. The third option for this condition is arthroplasty (are-throw-plas'-tee) which is a joint replacement, specifically in this scenario of the big toe joint. This procedure is appropriate for select individuals. The historical results of joint replacement have been poor but certain designs have shown some improvement. The joint surfaces are removed and an artificial joint is implanted. This procedure may relieve pain and preserve joint motion but has some significant drawbacks as well that must be considered. Dr. Vora commonly treats this condition and has written and lectured about the primary treatments for this condition as well as the options for salvage after previously failed procedures for arthritis of the big toe joint.

Most bones in the human body are connected to each other at joints but there are a few bones that are not connected to any other bone. Instead, they are connected only to tendons or are embedded in muscle. These are the sesamoids. The kneecap (patella) is the largest sesamoid. Two other very small sesamoids (about the size of a kernel of corn) are found in the underside of the forefoot near the great toe, one on the outer side of the foot and the other closer to the middle of the foot. These bones act like pulleys and provide a smooth surface over which the tendons slide, thus increasing the ability of the tendons to transmit muscle forces. The sesamoids in the forefoot also assist with weight bearing and help elevate the bones of the great toe. Like other bones, sesamoids can break (fracture). Additionally, the tendons surrounding the sesamoids can become irritated or inflamed. This is called sesamoiditis and is a form of tendonitis. It is common among ballet dancers, runners and baseball catchers. Some of the associated signs and symptoms include pain which is focused under the great toe on the ball of the foot, swelling in this region, and possibly difficulty and pain in bending and straightening the great toe. X-rays and other testing such as a bone scan or MRI may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment is generally nonoperative, however, if conservative measures fail, surgery may be recommended to remove the seasomoid bone. Conservative treatments involve activity modification (stopping the activity causing the pain), anti-inflammatory treatments, icing the affected area, and shoe wear modifications such as soft-soled, and low-healed shoes with or without the use of custom or over-the-counter orthotics with a cut-out for the sesamoid bones may be beneficial. Stiff-soled shoes like clogs may also be comfortable. If the condition is actively inflamed, immobilization in a boot or cast may provide significant relief. On occasion, steroid injections to reduce the inflammation may also be of some benefit.

Nice Hotelfrom roxian
We had a corner room with windows on 2 sides and views of the city. Nice furnishings, but our rooms seemed a little small (but there are a lot smaller out there!). Maybe it seemed a little tight in there because of all the furniture. We didn't eat there, but the bars and restaurants always seemed full.
The location is very convenient to the interestate. We went to the Bobcats' inaugural game and went to the Southmoor Park mall and Carolina Place mall.
Would definitely stay here again!
Great rooms, shady servicefrom tanik
However, unlike some of the reviewers here, the front desk staff treated me and my guest with an upturned nose, as if we didn't belong there. Even got that kind of attitude from some of the guests! (One guest saw us coming towards the elevator and closed the door in our faces!)
Honestly, as a young black female (with a white male guest), that kind of treatment really sticks out in your mind.
I've had nicer times at the AmeriSuites and Hampton Inn in Charlotte - rooms are large and surprisngly immaculate, service is friendlier, free continental breakfast, and the Hampton Inn has a computer you can use for free!

Top Local Tips for Charlotte
Blue Cafe and Restaurant A wonderful restaurant located in the center of Charlotte. Easy walking distance from all the big hotels. A diverse Mediteranean menu including Italian, French, Moroccan, and Greek influences. We tried the Wild Boar (amazing) with huckleberries, Beef Tenderloin (melt in your mouth) and signature fish dish. Excellent wine list and a fanciful martini menu. We had two great meals here during two separate trips. Banana cheesecake was incredible but small. Service was a little slow one night.
things to do downtown We ate at Mert's a couple times for some Southern cooking and it was pretty good. food - I'd recommend stopping by if you want to try some southern cooking. I tried the Salmon cakes which were great and the blackened pork chops which the staff highly recommends - I thought they were ok and wouldn't recommend them. The green beans were really good and the mac and cheese was average -- somewhere I read they were the best in the city which I find hard to believe. My wife had the jambalaya and loved it and we both really liked the cornbread. Overall I'd recommend eating at Mert's the food is good and the prices are reasonable too. Staff is really friendly and quick too. I took my 4 yr old son to the Discovery Place and he loved the play area there. We also visited the Imaginon which is basically a public library for children - very colorful and has a theater and place for kids to dress up in different outfits.
Restaurants Do not believe anyone that says The Ranch House is a good restaurant. There are many in the downtown area, and some are cheaper. Also, learn the Panther growl, especially if there is a game. I never quite conquered it, but we had a lot of fun with other guests on the elevator, etc. even if I did sound like I was clearing my throat. At least my sweet baby had it down good. Try the meatball sandwich at Fuel across the street. We got up too late for an affordable buffet (it had converted to the $24 brunch), so we had a spicy breakfast outdoors in a park-like setting. Charlotte is a beautiful city that maintains greenery and water. and it truly improves the quality of life...

No news on the search for a hockey team to play in new Seattle arena
Construction on a new arena in the Sodo District can begin with just an NBA team. But Chris Hansen's ownership group is hoping to bring in an NHL team to play in the arena.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Recent stories
Editorial & Opinion
Chris Hansen appears well on his way to securing one of the major tenants for a proposed new Sodo arena, with Monday's announcement of an agreement to buy the NBA's Sacramento Kings.
But the acquisition of an NHL team — which Hansen has said throughout the process he would also like to have in Seattle — remains uncertain.
Don Levin, a Chicago businessman and minor-league hockey team owner who has said he would be interested in helping bring the NHL to Seattle, said Monday he is not currently involved in any efforts to procure a team to play in the new arena, or anywhere else.
Levin said he had been in contact with potential developers of an arena in Bellevue but said Monday, "Bellevue has bailed. What we thought was a deal didn't happen. So I am nowhere."
Levin said he was informed of that news in an email last week.
He said he would remain interested in helping Hansen get a team, but said, "I have had no (recent) contact with Chris. He has probably worked with some other people."
Hansen has said he would not want to own an NHL team but would help facilitate efforts to bring one to Seattle.
"When I spoke to him at some point in the past, he said there were other people interested, so I'm sure he is (pursuing a team with other owners)," Levin said.
Hansen has said he hopes an NHL team can be found for Seattle to maximize revenue generated by the arena. Under the terms of the arena proposal, $200 million of the $490-million cost will be paid for in revenue generated from the arena. (Technically, the city and county will sell $200 million in bonds backed by future revenue from the arena — Hansen's group will pay the other $290 million).
But while an NBA team was a prerequisite to begin construction, that is not true of an NHL team.
King County executive Dow Constantine noted as much when the arena deal was restructured to require Hansen to cover any shortfalls in revenue before it ultimately was approved last fall.
"We structured the whole thing so it can go forward without having an NHL franchise in place, and the investment is structured so there is no additional risk if there is only one franchise rather than two, and that's by the owners covering that risk if revenues are less than projected," Constantine said Monday.
Levin, who co-owns the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League, said he is still interested in helping bring the NHL to Seattle. But at the moment, he said, "there's no team."
Levin noted that the team considered most available for sale and relocation, the Phoenix Coyotes, is in the process of being sold to a local owner who will keep the team there.
No other team, he said, appears immediately available.
"And I have asked," he said.
The new Sodo arena, however, would not open until 2015, so finding an NHL team is not as urgent.
Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon, said he thinks much could change between now and when the arena would open, especially with the NHL having recently come to terms on a labor agreement that will go through the 2021-22 season.
He said the NHL "is excited" about the prospect of a team playing in a new arena in Seattle and that there are some franchises that could be at risk of relocation if they don't show signs of success in their current markets.
"I don't think the league will expand," Swangard said, "But there are certainly a couple of markets that are still questionable with the new deal whether they can survive and be competitive."

Winning Nomination
There were many newspapers and periodicals printed in the languages of the subscribers. They kept immigrants informed of the news of the day and helped people maintain their ethnic connections. Present-day ethnic presses continue the tradition of keeping not only older immigrant groups, but also newly immigrated and native readers, informed of current news and issues. I remember clearly my grandparents with their copies of the Finnish language Minnesotan Utiset, published in New York Mills.
"There were many newspapers printed in the languages of the subscribers," writes nominator Marlene Wisuri of Cloquet. "They kept immigrants informed of the news of the day and helped people maintain ethnic connections. I remember clearly my grandparents with their copies of Minnesota Uutiset, published in New York Mills."
When you're putting down roots in an unfamiliar place, a newspaper printed in your own language, filled with news about your old and your new homes, can be a lifeline. Countless ethnic newspapers have been published throughout Minnesota over the years, with new ones established each year. Most arise from communities with a strong common bond. Take the Minnesotan Uutiset (Minnesota News), for example. By the 1890s, New York Mills was attracting large numbers of Finnish immigrants, who farmed in the summer and cut railroad ties and cordwood in the winter. Finnish-language newspapers were instrumental in drawing settlers to the area. Carl Parta and Adolph Lundquist, both experienced newspapermen, founded the Uutiset, which by the 1950s boasted the largest circulation of any Finnish American newspaper in the United States.

bob longs mil sim marker...M Tac

sorry but i didnt know how to put on the pic..

Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream. I don't want to go home, where I'm just an ordinary human being...
Posted 30 August 2008 - 04:40 AM
I'd rather that if they want to pander to the other side of paintball they just make the same marker, don't mill it as much and color it OD green. That would be fine. Throwing out markers with rails and shrouds and all that crap on them doesn't make me want it more. It makes me lose respect for the company, cause they are all just jumping on the bandwagon, and eventually it will tip over when it overfills.
Am i happy that manufacturers are looking at woodsball, yes...but woodsball =/= milsim....those are two ENTIRELY different fields. And i hate how they are just lumped together by everyone now.

yeah i saw a pic too and i hated the way it looked.
it might still have a tourney lock, you may just have to access the board to engage it, thats how it is with my mr2.

been around since the beginning, and I doubt it will ever go away. I've owned pretty much a little of everything there has been to own
and I'd say my recent aquisitions do not lump me into any particular catagory.
In the past couple months I've picked up a CCM S6, a RAP5 SD6, a Gen 4 Empire 2 Intimidator, a PGP with work done by Punisher's Customs and a Sergison K-Frame, this M-Tac, and I would like to get a Redux.
In the end in my mind, paintball is paintball, it is what you use it for.
I picked up a M-Tac, have had it about a week and well its really a nice marker.
Thats how it actually ships, if you've seen the pics with the laser, bi-pod, ACOG, etc etc etc well it doesn't come with any of that.
What you get is a very clean, extremely well built marker.
It ships with the latest Marq profficiency engine, the same Tadao board that will ship in upcoming Marqs, ability to use 4c eyes, and since it is the same
board, yes it does include a tourny lock.
I found it to be very well thought out, as like a Mini or TM7 there are no external air lines or anything to get caught on foliage and such, adjustment is
quite simple, and anyone used to Marqs, Intimidators, Egos, Cockers etc will have no problem tuning it in.
Out of the box, I found +/-5 consistency with the stock .691 barrel using RPS All Stars paint. Chrono was set to 292 avg, but I brought it down to the 280
that most of the fields out here use.
Weight is significant, it clocks in at 4lbs 4.5 ounces with the Stock Barrel and battery. Roughly comparable to a X-7 with a Flatline for comparison's sake.
I have the Stage 2 model however, the Stage 1 is shorter and probably sheds a half a pound maybe.
Firing impressions, it is quite stable, kick is insignificant, helped of course by the Marq engine, and the fact it weighs loaded probably in the 8lb neighborhood.
ROF is ridiculous on full auto, easily keeping up with any marker out there.
Comparing it to a TM7 or X-7/A-5 there is no comparison, the M-Tac is quiet, about as accurate a platform (recoil wise) as anything, will easily best the others
in ROF, maintence is simple, definately easier than the TM7.
Worth close to a grand? Well thats something you have to answer for yourself. Chances are like all Bob Long products, its not going to hold much value over
time compared to say a Tac One. Is the ROF and what not nessecary? Again I guess it would depend on your personal style of play.
I've actually probably put almost as much money in my X-7 with of course less results...
300 for the Marker
120 for the E-Trigger
140 in Cyclone related upgrades
70 for an Apex
300 for customization to make it look like an AK-74u
Its really not comparable however, its like saying is a TM7 worth it compared to an SP-1... well you could easily argue it both ways.

That being said, I personally wouldn't buy one because of cost alone. Plus, I like either all the way milsim or not in a marker. An in between look like this doesn't much appeal to me unless there is a way to mod it to look more like a real gun. I have an Ion and love it. I also have an A5 with some milsim MP5 mods and love it. I next want to get a Mil-Sig clip-fed M4 style marker.
At the risk of being a heretic who will be hated on for being "milsim", I'm going to mod an airsoft body (gasp!!) to accept my Ion internals.
Back on point, I'm not sure how much this will appeal to the Milsim paintballer. Probably not much given the cost and in between looks. Maybe to a woodsballer (which I love doing to) since it looks a little less like a speedball tourny marker and has rails for any ups you want to put on it.
Good luck to him though.

With all of the health food talk now, I am sure you have heard about flax-seed. Besides being a great word to use in scrabble, what the heck is it, and what can it do for you? First, we need to learn about where the seed comes from, and a little history. The seed comes from a plant, called, you guessed it, Flax. Flax has been cultivated for over 5,000 years! The Egyptians were one of oldest to cultivate flax. Flax is good for more than just the seed. You can also make linen from flax. Linseed oil, an oil gathered from the seed, is used in the paint and varnish industries. So already this plant is turning out to be a very versatile plant.
What about the seed?
I had never tried adding flax-seed to my food until today. I had heard a great way to add flax-seed to the diet is with oatmeal. So I tried a pinch plain before adding the seed to my oatmeal. There is little if any taste at all to flax-seed. Now the reason why flax-seed is so popular is because it is a power house for Omega 3 fatty acids, an essential acid that helps with brain function, and is said to help prevent heart disease. These are pretty great benefits. Surely something so good must have a downfall right?
Flax seed is generally sold as a flax-seed meal – this is the way to buy it in my opinion. There is very little work that you will have to do. You can buy flax-seed meal in brown or golds. The nutrition is the same, but the price tag is different. The brown flax-seed meal is generally cheaper than the gold. One important thing to remember is flax seeds can go rancid. Exposure to air and light will increase the speed of the flax-seed going rancid. The seed goes rancid because the oil is so unsaturated.
Make sure, if you buy ground flax-seed you follow these tips. Buy refrigerated and fresh flax seeds. After the flax-seed is ground up, it will last for two months if stored correctly. Once you bring it home and open the bag, it will last for about two weeks. Keeping flax-seed in an opaque container, and in the fridge or freezer will allow you to get a good solid two weeks out of the flax seed meal. You can tell if your flax-seed is rancid by the taste. Every time you use flax-seed, taste a pinch. If the flax tastes sour, bitter, or not good, throw it out, as it has gone rancid.
Flax-seed Downfall.
Flax seed is high in fiber. Some say that Flax seed gives them increased bowel movements. So if you are worried about a little trouble in that department, it is suggested to ease your body onto flax-seed by only having a little each time.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield are reporting that the consumption of raw or unripe flax-seed will lead to increased levels of cyanide in the bloodstream. Also if you are on diabetes medication, or an anticoagulant, you should talk to your doctor before adding flax-seed to your diet.
For the average person Flax seed is a very beneficial item to add to your diet. If you have concerns or questions, make sure that you ask your doctor or a certified nutritionist. For me and my family on a vegan diet, this is a great way to add Omega 3 to our diet. So next time you are at the store, pick up some Flax seed.

I found this pattern in a Scandinavian sewing magazine 01/2011, and it's very easy to sew.
I adjusted the pattern with making a black line around the neck since I've used black for the waist.
I didn't want to have seam in front or back and think it was a good choice. Since the V neck in front is very deep I have to use a top underneath :) This dress is similar to an earlier project I made; www.burdastyle.com/projects/my-desigual-dress

The apartment was nice, but the rent jumped from 730 per month to 950 in one year, which seemed unreasonable a Read Mores the neighborhood is not good. The managers changed about 3 times and near the end of my stay, they were issuing apartment checks too often.

The State shall establish and maintain one police force, which shall be national in scope and civilian in character, to be administered and controlled by a national police commission….
A week ago, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago pre-sold the controversial hearing she was going to conduct on the grant of "unique powers" to since-resigned Interior Undersecretary Rico E. Puno in vivid Shakespearean terms. "There will be a lot of sound and fury. There will be a lot of sound from Mr. Puno and maybe a lot of fury from me." Unfortunately for all of us, the hearing last Friday turned out to be more Shakespearean than we realized: It was "a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Miriam Defensor-Santiago summoned Rico Puno to a Senate hearing and took on the roles of judge, jury and executioner. Quite apart from prosecutor, haranguer and clown.
I am lost in translation over the love of President Aquino toward Rico E. Puno, now a former undersecretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government. Amid the latest corruption issue against Puno in connection with the controversial P1-billion PNP (Philippine National Police) gun deal, the President still managed to say some kind words for his beleaguered shooting-range buddy. P-Noy, speaking to reporters in faraway Russia, where he was attending the Apec (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit, expressed his continued trust and confidence in Puno, whom he described as his "eyes and ears" in the DILG.
The editorial titled "Que Rico!" asked: Why did Undersecretary Rico E. Puno, with three others, try to enter the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo's private quarters in a Quezon City condo? (Inquirer, 9/10/12)

By far the scariest thing about director Stuart Beattie's "I, Frankenstein," a terrible would-be horror story that somehow roped in a couple of really good actors, is that the ending seems to suggest the possibility of a sequel.
Now that's horror.
You probably know the basics of Mary Shelley's classic novel. Mad scientist Victor Frankenstein creates a living creature from spare parts of corpses. In the novel the monster isn't the unthinking horror he became in movies; he reads and contemplates his sorry state. This is all dispensed with in about the first two minutes of the movie. The creature (Aaron Eckhart, who must owe somebody big) buries his creator and is set upon by demons. Then the demons are attacked by gargoyles.
So, as you can see, we're pretty far afield from the source material.
Long story short: Gargoyles are the good guys, demons are the bad guys. They are fighting one of those epic unending wars that, if the good guys lose, could mean the end of the human race. The gargoyles want to keep Frankenstein's scientific diary out of the hands of the demons, specifically those of the demon prince Naberius, who is played by the great Bill Nighy. (Maybe he lost the same bet as Eckhart, so here he is.)
Adam, the name the gargoyle leader Leonore (Miranda Otto) has given Frankenstein's creature, wants no part in the fight, so he roams the Earth for a while. Like, 200 years,
Cut to the present, when Adam returns to hunt the demons that have never stopped hunting him.
Brilliant scientist Terra (Yvonne Strahovski) is, alas, not quite smart enough to realize Naberius wants to harness this knowledge for evil purposes.
Adam and the diary fall in and out of the hands of the gargoyles and the demons, there are lots of epic, nonsensical battles and, once Terra sees Adam without his shirt on, she ignores the scars and sees the man. They team up to save mankind.
Don't worry if it sounds hard to follow. Every character explains, at great length, every action and motivation in the movie. Maybe Beattie, who also wrote the screenplay, got paid by the word. Good for him. But it doesn't mean we have to listen, or watch.
Rated PG-13 for intense fantasy action and violence throughout. Rating: ★

Date Reviewed: September 18, 2014
Strengths: ~ Just the right amount of volume = epic ride comfort and trail confidence
~ Corners well, with off-camber traction too
~ Handles wet and muddy rides without drama
~ Sub 700g weight
~ Excellent wear characteristics, for a supple 120tpi tire
~ Chevron tread blocks = very fast-rolling
~ Resistant sidewalls, without sacrificing weight
~ Goes tubeless in a snap
~ Light and fast enough for Marathon XC racing
Weaknesses: ~ Bontrager stopped producing them(how DARE they!)
Bottom Line:
This tire offers the best of ALL worlds; high-volume 120tpi casing, great dry and wet conditions cornering and fast rolling. Many feel this is a true Trail tire - but I think it can even pass off as a great Marathon XC race tire. I run these front and rear, and the results are simply amazing. Going full-throttle on the descents has zero sketchiness and the comfort factor definitely helps you push its limits with sheer confidence. Why Bontrager ended production of this fine rubber, is anybody's guess.
I have tried many high-volume 29er tires in this category.....yet, I still keep coming back to these. You can still find these online on closeout, between $24.99 and $39.99(Original MSRP was $64.99/ea). Do not get the EXP version(60tpi casing). The sidewalls are hard to go tubeless and they don't have nearly that supple feel the more robust casing offers. The Bontrager 29-3 Team Issue has the best attributes of weight, rolling/puncture resistance, and long-term wear(mine lasted 2.5 seasons @2000miles).

Date Reviewed: October 25, 2012
Strengths: Wet weather traction on pretty much any surface.
Good stiction on dry surfaces
Strong sidewalls
Lightweight - mine have all been < 700g
Relatively long life - they die slowly. The tread wears evenly.
Tubeless setup is a snap.
And ... can't forget the ubiquitous - "fast rolling!" for those who care
Weaknesses: The 29-3 TLR Team Issue 2.25 29er have been discontinued.
Please Bonty - bring 'em back!
Aside from sketchy front wheel performance in dry kibble, none
Bottom Line:
Great tactile feel and traction grip on wet rock, roots, loam and gravel. I have been running this front and rear on 2010 RIP9 for 2.5 years. Finally, wore out the rear.
Exception front tire tracking despite how the tire appears - no large side knobs - just a spider-web of knobs and ridges.
Unfortunately it appears to be discontinued.
Don't waste your time on the 29-3 Team non-TLR - filmsy sidewalls. Same tread patter

Strengths: This tire is good in dry conditions, and it rolls nicely.
Weaknesses: They are rally bad in wet conditions.
Bottom Line:
If I only biked in dry conditions they would be a decent tire; but I do not. If you bike on wet or even damp trails I would defiantly not get this tire.

Lynas Corp. Ltd. ADR (NASDAQOTH:LYSDY)
This stock is an ADR @ 10 X 1 share of LYSCF.PKCheck this stock out fools. It is an rear earth minerals company headquartered our of Australia.Deutsche Bank Initiation of coverage with Buy on Oct-5 10:53 pm Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) - Deutsche Bank has joined the rare metals bandwagon as China uses its muscle and with the rest of the world scrambling to get their hands on some. There is no stable supply outside China, which is responsible for about 90% of the world's production. Global demand outside China is about equal to Chinese demand (50/50). Lynas has the most advanced project outside China, the analysts point out. On higher pricing assumptions they believe the shares are much more worth than what they are priced at today. It's not difficult to see why the stockbroker has initiated coverage with a Buy rating accompanied by a price target of $1.80.
$1.80 target? better sell right NOW!
The 1.80 target was on the 1x LYSCF.PK, making the target on LYSDY.PK, representing 10 shares at $18.00. I have little respect for analysts, especially on a little followed, speculative stock, (meaning no track record or earnings and none expected until actual mining commences). Overall, my target is higher than $18 if they get production, processing capability and continued long term contracts from Japan who has been squeezed out by China who, as baseballdude indicated, has 90% of the world's current production.
Update note: LYSDY.PK did a 10:1 split to align with LYSCF.PK.
Note to potential investors: LYSDY.PK is upgrading it's trading status with Bank of Mellon ADR support to the OTCBB. Both remain PK stocks. DY, however, may be more liquid going forward.
Check with your brokerage, however, on trading fees. At one point some brokerages had a $50 trading fee PER TRADE plus your regular trading fee for the DY.

Glossary of Unemployment Tax Terms
501(c)(3): Is a nonprofit organization. To qualify as a 501(c)(3) an employer must have these five atributes:
- Be a corporation or similar entity (or trust).
- Be operated exclusively for charitable purpose.
- Not give any benefits or money to shareholders or any individual.
- Not have a substantial part of its activities be attempting to influence legislation.
- Not participate in (at all) a political compaign for a public office.
ABC Test: The ABC Test (26 M.R.S.A 13 sec.1043(11)(E)(1, 2, 3)) is the standard used by the Maine Department of Labor, Bureau of Unemployment Compensation to determine if the services performed by an individual for an employer have the status of covered employment or if the individual's services are those of someone independently established in the trade, occupation, or business. Independently established service providers are commonly referred to as "independent contractors." However, no definition of an independent contractor exists under Maine Employment Security Law. For the purpose of unemployment contributions (tax), the ABC Test determines whether employment exists. The ABC Test has three important parts, all of which an employer must meet for the presumption of employment to be negated. If the employer fails to meet even one part of the ABC Test, the presumption remains and the services are considered employment. The three parts of the ABC Test review employer control/direction of the worker, place(s) of business or courses of business, and proof that the worker is independently established in the trade. You can read the statutory language about the ABC Test by visiting this site.
Acquisition: Something that has recently been bought or obtained.
Agricultural Labor: Agricultural labor generally refers to services performed on a farm for an employing unit that is connected to cultivating soil or raising or harvesting any agricultural, aquacultural or horticultural commodity. This includes tending to livestock, bees, poultry, and other animals. Types of farms acceptable in this definition are stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, fur-bearing animals, truck farms, plantations, ranches, nurseries, ranges, greenhouses, orchards and similar structures.
Annual taxable wages: Annual taxable wages are the amounts of wages on which an employer pays unemployment contributions in a calendar year.
Audit Program: As part of the Maine Department of Labor's Quality Control program, a minimum of 2 percent of Maine's employers are selected for audit each year. The audit is performed to ensure proper reporting of wages over a single calendar year. Other reasons for audits include new employer status, large increases/decreases in employment, or industry examinations.
Average Employer Rate: This is the rate assigned all new employers upon receiving an employer account number. After two full rating periods (a minimum of 30 months), the employer will be eligible for the experience rate.
Calendar Quarter: The calendar quarter is the time period wherein an employer become liable if wages are paid to any worker totaling more than $1,500 or for 20 weeks of employment. Calendar quarters are also important for wage reporting, such as the "Quarterly Wage Report" (form 941C1-ME). The four calendar quarters are noted as January through March (1/1 to 3/31), April through June (4/1 to 6/30), July through September (7/1 to 9/30), and October through December (10/1 to 12/31).
Combined Quarterly Reports (CQR): Tax payments on reportable wages in a calendar quarter are due on or before the last day of the month following the quarter close on a "Combined Quarterly Report" (Form 941C1-ME).
Competitive Skills Scholarship Fund (CSSF): In 2007, the 123rd Legislature enacted legislation creating a program entitled the Competitive Skills Scholarship Fund Program (CSSF). This program has been created to address the serious and growing skills gap between the existing skills of today's workforce and the skill needs of tomorrow's jobs. This program will provide workers with the skills they need to successfully perform in the good jobs that are being created in our economy and help businesses find the qualified workforce needed to foster innovation and stay competitive in the global marketplace. Approximately $3 million will be collected each year for the CSSF that will then be available to assist workers earning below 200% of poverty to obtain a degree or certificate in a training program for jobs in high-growth industries. It will pay for tuition and fees that are not paid from other sources (including federal financial aid); and will fund educational supports for workers in training including childcare, transportation, books, supplies, equipment, and remedial and prerequisite training.
Contribution: Used interchangeably with "tax."
Direct Reimbursement Employer: Governmental entities and 501(C)(3) nonprofit organizations can chose to make reimbursement payments to the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation (BUC) instead of making regular contributions paid by taxes. To sign up for direct reimbursement status, the employer must file a written request within 30 days of its subject status determination. Changing the payment method should occur within 60 days prior to the beginning of the year of the change.
Employer Account Number: New employers are issued account numbers when they have met liability by filing an application or submitting a quarterly report. The account number is used to process all of the employer's reports and payments.
Employer/Employing Unit: Under the law "employer" and "employing unit" are considered the same. An employer is any business or individual that pays an individual for services. Employers can take many of the forms listed below:
- Governmental - federal, state, county and municipal;
- Limited Liability - individuals, partnerships, corporations; Individuals - estates and trusts,
- Partnerships - firms, associations, trusts, joint ventures;
- Corporations - public, private, foreign, domestic, c-corp and s-corp.
Employment: Employment is the entire service of an individual performed for some kind of wage, under any type of contract. The law presumes that a worker's services are employment unless the employer can prove that the worker's services are exempt. A three-part test determines whether a worker's services should be considered covered employment (see ABC Test above).
Excess Contributions: A relevant factor of how an employer's experience rate is determined, "excess" is defined as the difference when the amount of contributions charged to the employer's account is subtracted from the amount of contributions the employer made to the account.
Excess Wages: Any wages paid in excess of the State's taxable wage base.
Experience Rate: Employers are eligible for the experience rate after the new account has been set up and the employer has been assigned the average employer rate. The employer's experience rate is determined through multiple factors over time. The rate may be higher or lower than the average employer rate. The rate reflects an employer's history of average taxable wages, contributions paid, and benefits charged.
Fraud: The crime of obtaining money or some other benefit by deliberate deception.
FUTA: Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) is one of two taxes generally paid by employers, that finances the administrative costs of unemployment insurance.
Liability: In general, an employer becomes liable when he or she pays workers $1,500 or more in gross wages in a calendar quarter or for work performed in any part of the day in 20 weeks in the calendar year. This encompasses most employers. An employer is determined to be liable under
26 M.R.S.A. Chapter 13. section 1043 (9)(A)(1-10).
Remuneration: Payment for services
Reserve Ratio: The total excess wages on a date divided by the average taxable wages, shown as a percentage.
Seasonal Employment: Work performed in an industry designated as seasonal during the time period determined by the Unemployment Insurance Commission.
Subject Employer: An employer who is liable to pay Unemployment Compensation Tax.
Successor Employers: Successor employers are those that have acquired in whole or in part a previous liable employer's business, including-certain uncollectible obligations.
Successor Employer (Acquisition in Toto): An individual or employing unit who acquires a majority of the assets from the organization, trade or business. Successors immediately become liable for coverage, and inherit the experience rate and benefit charges of their predecessors. Successor employers may be held responsible for unpaid tax liabilities.
SUTA: State Unemployment Tax (SUTA), is a required tax paid by employers regardless of federal liability, which finances benefits disbursed from the Unemployment Insurance Fund.
Unemployment Insurance Commission: This body, comprised of three members representing employers, labor, and the general public hears employer appeals. A decision is rendered, and the employer may appeal within 10 days. The Commission members are appointed by the Governor and approved by the State Senate for a term of six years.
Voluntary Contribution: Voluntary contributions may be made in addition to regular contributions within 30 days of a contribution rate notice. After voluntary contributions are made, the employer's rate is recalculated to show the additional payment. Voluntary contributions can help an employer improve its contribution rate. A new employer with the average employer rate may not elect to make voluntary contributions.
Voluntary Election: With permission from the Commissioner of Labor, an exempt employer may choose voluntarily to be covered by unemploymentinsurance. If an exempt employer is allowed to be covered voluntarily, it must make contributions for a minimum of two years.
Wages: This term refers to all remuneration for personal services, specifically, it includes commissions, bonuses, severance or terminal pay, gratuities, and the cash value of other forms of payment, such as room and board. Vacation and holiday pay, as well as compensation paid to corporate officers outside of stock ownership are also included.

Hi: 13° Lo:9°
By Tristan Harris Thursday 07 August 2014 Updated: 08/08 13:12
THE CHAIRMAN of Stoke Parish Council has hit out at travellers who, he claims, have trashed the Stoke Heath Recreation Ground, off Hanbury Road, and damaged the play area there to such an extent it is unusable.
John Ellis contacted The Standard about the group which left the site on Tuesday (August 5) after setting up an illegal encampment and staying there for over a week.
"We have now got to get the contractors to come along and assess the damage and give us a quote for the repairs."
He said it was disappointing, especially as the play area had not been there long and the incident had happened in the school summer holidays, when many of the children in the Stoke villages wanted to use the equipment.
"It's a well-used play area that cannot be used at the moment."
Mr Ellis said a working group of volunteers had now also been set up in a bid to clean up the mess that the travellers had left behind.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "The travellers were on parish council land - they requested a civil address for a possession order which was granted on Monday at 11.15am - travellers vacated the site at 9pm on Tuesday.
"Local police have been monitoring the issue and have sent out targeted patrols throughout the duration of the time the travellers were there."
She added Bromsgrove District Council had been working on clearing the land on Wednesday morning and the parish council was looking into quotes for preventative measures.

EAU CLAIRE — The Hmong Mutual Assistance Association and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will sponsor a Hmong New Year's celebration Saturday, Nov. 13, and Sunday, Nov. 14, at the McPhee Physical Education Center on UW-Eau Claire's upper campus.
Faculty, staff, students and community members are invited to share in the festivities, which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
"We hope members of the community will attend the event," said Charles Vue, Southeast Asian student services coordinator in the Office of Multicultural Affairs. "This will be an opportunity for them to socialize and learn a lot more about our culture."
Scheduled events include traditional Hmong ball tossing and cultural shows featuring traditional dance performances, folk songs, crafts and food vendors.
The traditional ball tossing, called Pov Pob, is a form of courtship for the youths. If a participant drops the ball he or she must give a "gift" to a partner. Once all possessions have been given away, the participant may sing several songs to get his or her possessions back.
"For the older generations, this is a time to remember they are Hmong through celebrating their heritage, clothing and cultural performance," said Vue. "For the youth, this is a time to value Hmong social gatherings and to see friends and make new ones."
There will be an admission fee of $2 at the door.
For more information, contact the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association at (715) 832-8420 or Vue at (715) 836-3017.

Trick-or-treaters warned about bears in the Rattlesnake Valley

Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks officials in Missoula are warning trick-or-treaters in the Rattlesnake Valley to be on the lookout for bears.
Officials said six to eight black bears are still roaming the valley at night, and it's not the candy they're after. They're looking for unsecured garbage and fruit - left mostly on apple trees.
FWP bear expert Jamie Jonkel said bears are still trying to pack on enough pounds to last them through winter hibernation, and they are most active at night.
"Parents should be wary, and looking down the street for any kind of dark shadows moving along," said Jonkel. "There could very easily be a bear or two in some back yards, especially in the Rattlesnake Valley."
