First Listen
King of Arabs "We Are Bored in the City (Matrixxman Remix)"
- Words: Melkorka Licea
- Label: Shifting Peaks
After establishing his solo career throughout 2013, San Francisco DJ/producer Matrixxman is kicking off 2014 with a new remix of King of Arabs' "We Are Bored in the City," a tune featured on the third volume of the Nasty Rips and Shifting Peaks compilation (out on February 3). The production is carried by a shy 4/4 beat, as the rhythm weaves from a minimalist house groove, takes an extended breath, and continues its upward trajectory into an upbeat, dream-like atmosphere. Matrixxman's remix portrays his ability to be whimsical yet refined, a nice juxtaposition to his recent The XX Files EP, which focused heavily on straightforward house and techno.

Magnus Carlsen only needed 12 seconds on the clock to checkmate the second richest man in the world, Bill Gates. As we reported earlier, Carlsen was to meet the founder of Microsoft, billionaire and philantropist as guests in the talkshow Skavlan. The show was recorded on Thursday and part of it was a game of chess, which didn't last very long.
Image: NRK/YouTube
For this blitz game, played in a studio in London, Carlsen was given 30 seconds on the clock against 2 minutes for Gates. The American billionaire opened with 1.e4, but didn't start the clock. Carlsen positioned his pieces, then started his own clock and played 1...Nc6. It was soon over:
Here's a video of the game, which was posted earlier today on Youtube and has been watched over 77K times already!
Gates had 1 minute and 10 seconds left at the end, while Carlsen still had 18 seconds left and so only used 12 seconds. (In fact he lost about 2 when he tipped over a pawn on move 2, and it seems he also needed about 2 seconds to stop the clock!) Obviously the difference in strength was so huge that chess fans won't be that surprised, but for the rest of the world "Magnus Carlsen Checkmates Bill Gates in 12 Seconds" probably sounds quite astonishing!
Norwegian TV channel NRK posted a report on the show and the game, where it says that "Carlsen had to admit that he had to break one of his own principles, namely not to use cheap tricks to win." The world champion was obviously referring to the move 7...Ne5, which wasn't correct but did bring him a very quick checkmate.
In the TV show Carlsen also spoke about teaching Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg chess, a week before. The Norwegian felt that "[Zuckerberg] was much better after an hour." To the question whether he's friends with Zuckerberg on Facebook, Carlsen replied: "No, I do not accept everyone on Facebook!"
Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik SkavlanPrevious guests in the show include Michael Palin, Sinead O'Connor, Wyclef Jean, Judit Polgar, Bruno Mars, Ruby Wax, Robbie Williams, Jon Bon Jovi, Richard Dawkins, Kevin Costner, Will Smith and David Guetta. Carlsen had been a guest in the show more than once before.
MC Hammer :)
i think bill gates 's opening was very weak i am not criticizing him it was too easy for carlsen to beat him
i really dont know wat to say about this. Who agrees that if they played a standard game, and carlsen used that cheap trick, bill would have lost in more moves? Good job to bill gates btw, but carlsen, im still a fan
That's good :) we all know that the expirience of bill gates is low than the chess world champion . It's ok bill gate . ur cool, u hava expirience to challenge the world champion . :D
Hello Bill, now that you've left the Board of Microsoft you must have some spare time, why don't you stop training with Chess Titans and get yourself a better coach? You sure can afford it!
@evolutionrevolution ... You are from US. You are obsolete.
@milospantovic - LOL, coming from a person from Serbia. I think you mean that Yugoslavia is obsolete.
Geez, can we not talk about dubious politics and ideology? Gates sucked at chess this game but he has done some brilliant stuff. Also, as someone who has a little bit of insight to this stuff (and as an independent), right wingers do not actually believe that rich people are economic superheroes. Rather, the logic is just that if you are making millions of dollars, people are willing to pay you millions of dollars for your work. Thus, what you produce while working is worth millions.
Seems like Mr Gates' chess ability is about equal to the standard of his windows software... :-p
Since a user-friendly Linux is something relatively new, I suppose that without Bill Gates it would of been a Mac(OS) world. (excuse my English)
I think most people seem to be underestimating just how good someone like Carlsen really is. Aside from a deeper understanding of chess and great tactical ability, the thing that distinguished masters (of any strength) from the rest of us is the process of candidate move selection. And that is a huge advantage in such a short time-limit game.
There's nothing to stop Carlsen from physically banging out 2+ moves a second. They might not be the greatest moves ever played, but the first candidate move that pops into his head (and thus the move played) is going to be a master caliber move. Maybe a CM/FM level move instead of a super-GM move, but that just means Carlsen would be playing the same in a 30 second game as a master 600-700 ELO lower rated would play in a slow OTB game.
Even if I'm being optimistic and he's really playing 1000 ELO lower (~1850) due to the time pressure, how do you figure a casual player like Gates with an effective playing strength around 1200 ELO is going to stay on the same board with him for 60 moves in 2 minutes? Barring a big blunder, there's no way. The idea of Carlsen being in any significant danger from such an opponent is rediculous when you think about it that way.
The reason Carlsen resorted to a "cheep trick" is he just didn't want to work that hard - and against a 1200 he knew he really didn't need to. He just threw some pieces at the White king and figured it would all work out more-or-less the way it did.
Bill just gave it to him in the end. And I imagine the whole thing was rigged from the start as I really don't think Bill woulda moved his Bishop in front of his pawn. He knows better than that. Anyway, this maneuver should forever be known as the Bill Gates Defense. (It doesn't work too well in anti-trust cases either) Just jokin' around now, Bill... I know you're the richest man in the world and could have me made and offed in a wink if you wanted. But, uh, I've got a few more things I need to tie up before I'm offed. Get back with me on that at a much later time...
«Carlsen had to admit that he had to break one of his own principles, namely not to use cheap tricks to win.»
Please: Carlsen had to break one of the VERY BASIC RULES OF CHESS, ( not one of hiw 'own' principles) namely, not to use cheap tricks to win.
Ouch !
What a game!
If only Bill Gates had opened the chess match using the Ruy Lopez, he could have won Magnus Carlsen as the Ruy Lopez is known to be a very drawish opening, and with the 30 seconds time limit placed on Carlsen, it will be difficult for Carlsen to work out a way to checkmate.
What do you think?
@evolutionrevolution: The problem isn't that there are super-rich people; it's that super-rich people tend to use their wealth and the power it brings in ways that are socially destructive. Yes, when MSFT went public in 1986 it created 3 billionaires and 12,000 millionaires. So what? What have they done for us lately? The large majority of the things billionaires do with their money do not create jobs. The reality is that 70% of the US economy is consumer spending, and there is only so much consuming anyone worth billions can do - even after you factor in the huge mansions, luxury yachts, and private jets - and the super-rich do not come close doing their share as far as improving the economy and creating prosperity for everyone.
Except for consumption and money specifically reinvested in the economy by starting or expanding businesses (and buying and selling in the stock market doesn't really do that), the things billionaires do with their money do not create jobs. Speculation and arbitrage do not create jobs. Putting money into hedge funds does not create jobs. Buying government influence (funding campaigns, PACs, lobbyists, etc.) doesn't create jobs either - especially when the objective is to preserve their enormous wealth at the expense of the middle class (who are the source of most of the consumer spending and therefore the engine that really makes the economy go).
The idea that the super-rich are economic superheroes is nonsense. For the most part they are just very rich people claiming privilege for jobs and/or economic growth they (or in many cases their ancestors) already created (sometimes generations ago). I don't begrudge them their wealth; I greatly begrudge them the damage they do in the preservation of that wealth. And ironically (in the long term), the super-rich don't benefit from their behavior either: they simply create instability that undermines the very wealth to which they cling.
Kudos to Bill Gates. He stood tall, played a game that moved very fast for anyone not experienced at it, and genuinely laughed graciously when he lost...
Do you guys really think mankind would be better off today if Microsoft never existed?
Through his entrepeneurship Bill Gates has made literally billions of people better off. He did not take money away from people - people gave it to him because he gave them something more valuable in return. Enough of the protocommunist stuff.
Man, you guys are brainwashed.

Heavy Drinking Linked to Earlier Stroke
MONDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Heavy drinkers are at risk for stroke at a much younger age than other people, a new study says.
Researchers in France looked at the drinking habits and medical records of 540 people with an average age of 71 who had suffered a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage). Of the participants, 25 percent were heavy drinkers, defined as having three or more drinks per day, or about 1.6 ounces per day of "pure" alcohol.
Heavy drinkers had a stroke at an average age of 60, which was 14 years before the average age of those who weren't heavy drinkers, the researchers found.
Among people younger than 60 who had a stroke in the deep part of the brain, heavy drinkers were more likely to die within two years of the study follow-up than those who weren't heavy drinkers.
The findings are published in the Sept. 11 issue of the journal Neurology.
"It's important to keep in mind that drinking large amounts of alcohol contributes to a more severe form of stroke at a younger age in people who had no significant past medical history," study author Dr. Charlotte Cordonnier, of the University of Lille Nord de France, said in a journal news release.
Although the researchers found an association between heavy drinking and stroke, the study did not show direct cause and effect.

The following is an excerpt from USA Volleyball's, State of the Game Report. I believe USA Volleyball too often gets vilified for roles others believe USA Volleyball plays or doesn't play, money directed to certain areas within USA Volleyball, and the delicate balancing act USA Volleyball has to play. I think this excerpt provides some insight into how well USA Volleyball performs it's roles.
What is USA Volleyball? What exactly are the priorities, and what is our role? The answers to these questions can vary greatly depending on your role and function, both from within or from outside the sport.
USA Volleyball constantly needs to remember and evaluate who we are, what we do, who we represent and how we are evaluated by various entities and constituent populations. In reality, USA Volleyball may actually be considered three distinct and somewhat separate organizations. Those identifications are 1) a National Governing Body (NGB); 2) a National Federation (NF); and 3) a National Sport Association. Continue Reading

Patrick Eaves scored a power-play goal with 48.7 seconds left in the third period to lift the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 2-1 victory Saturday night over the Wolves at Allstate Arena.
Shane Harper scored for the Wolves (9-7-0-2), and Matt Climie stopped 22 shots in the loss to the Midwest Division-leading Griffins.
"We came out flat the first five minutes, but then I thought we controlled the game," Wolves coach John Anderson said. "We aren't scoring many goals right now, and when you don't bury your chances, it completely changes the complexion of the game."
The Griffins (13-4-1-1) opened the scoring 4:51 into the game when Alexey Marchenko took the puck at the blue line along the boards and passed it to Tomas Jurco in the slot. Jurco passed up a chance to shoot and found center Calle Jarnkrok in the far circle for an open shot that he steered into the top corner of the net.
The Wolves evened the score at 18:29 of the second period on Harper's fourth goal of the season. Dmitrij Jaskin corraled the puck in the corner and passed it to Harper in front of the crease. Harper flipped a backhander into the crease, where the puck bounced off the leg of sprawling Griffins goalie Petr Mrazek and crossed the goal line.
The Griffins scored the game-winner in the third period while on their only power play.

Visa and CashEdge have teamed up to launch a new advancement in the world of money wiring, according to a March 16 report on PR Newswire.
All a customer needs is an Internet connection with a bank account on one end and a Visa prepaid, debit or credit card on the other, anywhere in the world.
Bank account, Visa credit card
The agreement between Visa, the global payments technology company, and CashEdge Inc., a leading provider of financial transaction services, allows money to be sent electronically between bank accounts and Visa-branded credit cards using Popmoney®, a person-to-person mobile payments service provided by CashEdge. Transactions could be completed on a home computer, a laptop or a smart phone.
There are many possible uses for the new payment system:
- Send money to a student credit card account
- Send money to a friend stranded in a remote place
- Pay a housecleaner, a dogwalker or a babysitter.
- Fund a Visa prepaid credit card
- Pay for goods or services at a flea market
- Accept customer payments over a smart phone
Payments could be made in either direction:
- From bank account to credit card, to replenish a prepaid card or make a payment.
- From credit card to bank account, to pay a vendor or service provider.
Eventually, person-to-person transfers between credit cards and bank accounts could replace verbal promises and IOUs.
How P2P money transfer would work
Customers access their bank or credit union account online, through their computer or cell phone, and opt to transfer money to an eligible Visa credit, debit or prepaid credit card. They simply provide the recipient's cell phone number, e-mail address, or 16-digit Visa card account number. Then either the cash would appear in the recipient's card account ("on the card"), or the recipient would receive a notification asking them to approve the transfer. Once the transfer is approved, the money would become available for use.
The system is scheduled to launch in summer of 2011.

photo penetrate girl
galleries xxx pics adult gallery large videoBalls. As virile as they are, their dicks are in no time strong and hard. That's what I like about young men. I slowly and carefully strike the swollen pole, with the necessary pauses to prevent an unexpected second discharge. I know the young man want to put his hard on into my mouth; most of the time I give in to it. Because I know they come easy that way, I frequently take it out of my mouth to give it some rest to prevent it. I then kiss his stomach or some other place in reach of his hard dick. It works. The first time I have to guide the hand of the young white man, mostly resting ...

Fragments fat pussy pic story:
old woman sex story - Bobbed her head up and down my cock, and it felt so good, so warm, so soft... I sat there in heaven as I looked down at the back of her head gently moving, and couldn't believe that such a lovely lady was sucking me, and enjoying every bit of it! She must have sucked me for at least ten minutes before I felt my balls start to tingle again, and let out a groan of pure delight as I began to come! Even after my orgasm subsided, she continued to suck me for another minute or so, then got up off the floor and snuggled up next to me. She put her lips to ...
nude filipina free - Penetrated for many years, it felt quite tight. Now it's being stretched by this delicious peace of hard meat. I felt my big clit pulsate and then... oh my, if heaven isn't the place to be so this was! I came in waves, I couldn't hold it back, but my juices streamed richly. When a man does a good job at me, I produce a lot and this definitely was one of them. My body shakes intensely and I notified the young white man was smiling broadly at me. He stopped pumping me and held his large hard whooper completely inside my coming pussy. When I had my body some under control, ...
fat lady sex - World. That's why I love them so much. Oh, by love I mean the backdoors, not their owners. Don't get it twisted. As I explored the anal cavity of Trish, she furiously masturbated, thrusting her fingers into her sopping wet pussy while getting drilled in the ass. I watched her pleasuring herself, a curious thing to watch, to be sure. Oh, well. Pussy play has never been my thing. I much prefer the back door. I continued fucking that ass of hers, hard and fast, until its vise-like ...
blog pregnant sex - In and out of my throbbing pussy as fast as he could move it. Above me, he was breathing like a horse at the end of a race, and in me he was getting bigger and hotter. With a long howling groan he came, shooting hot sperm inside me with reflexive jerks of his hips accompanied by grunts, groans, and oh fucks in rhythm with his pumping hips. Collapsing beside me on the bed, his prick slipped out and he let go of my legs. With each thrust of his cock she was making these cute little moans that he could feel all ...
facial mature woman - Sucking on my wet, swollen knob. I was so deep in this feeling I forgot about sucking on his hard dick, just holding in into my mouth. I became wetter and wetter until that intense feeling increased to reach the highest point. I let slid the swollen dick out of my mouth. With a loud cry I pushed my shaking heavy, fat black body against the face of the young white man, pressing my bald, fat black pussy against his open mouth, squirting plentiful result from my powerful orgasm ...
tight little ass - He said as he headed out the door. The band's gig was over at two. He went to the dress shop in the mezzanine and selected a couple of nice dresses, not flashy, but not cheap and a pair of pajamas. He bought her some panties and two bras. He got home at four twenty. She had tried to wait up for him but fell asleep on the sofa. "I told you not to wait up for me." "I couldn't sleep. I was watching TV and then suddenly, you were here." "Well, you're up now. You may as well take a look at the stuff I bought." She opened the bags. She was like a kid at Christmas. "Oh, these things are way too nice. They must ...
blow job 4 free - Command, right Slut?" "Yes, Sir. I am your slave in everyway. But, ah, Sir...when can we start with my whoring tasks? Soon, I hope. I will really like that!" Once a nympho whore, always a nympho whore! Rylee always wore a baseball cap and this day was no exception. It was a standard part of his maintenance uniform and kept the sun out of his eyes as he traversed between buildings fixing everything from busted pipes to plaster dings. He was six feet tall, naturally tanned by his work outdoors, and had ...

« Back To Eat Right Weekly - March 13
Alice O'Connor, MS, RD, LDN, CNSC, has been a preceptor for 22 years. A critical care expert, she says she was born to teach, expects only the best from her students and encourages students to give back to their profession.
A former student explains how Ms. O'Connor has high expectations for her students and challenges them to reach their full potential:
She let us figure things out for ourselves, but if we ever needed help she was always right there. At graduation, one of her words of advice was to "give back to the nutrition profession" and I am proud to say that I have started doing so.
Known throughout western Massachusetts for her critical care skills, Ms. O'Connor expects high standards of professionalism from her interns. Despite staffing reductions that have meant taking on greater job responsibilities, she continues to increase the time she dedicates to her interns.
The Academy thanks Alice O'Connor for being a preceptor.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- The Association for Vision Rehabilitation and Employment in Binghamton has unveiled a brand new technology fully equipped for vision impaired users.
AVRE hires people who are blind or visually impaired for many positions throughout the company, which makes copy paper and other products.
AVRE held a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday to show off the nearly $500,000 Pemco Ream Wrapper. The new equipment will allow a completely blind individual to operate the machine in a way that increases productivity.
Employees who are visually impaired say they enjoy the independence of operating the specialized equipment.
"It allows me as a blind individual to run this up to date piece of equipment and to run it just like an individual who has 20-20 vision," Luigi DiRusso said.
The company will use the machinery to convert roll stock paper into copy paper for federal state and many local customers.

your heart to forgive me one day!
The truth is, I have had one of those weeks where it seems that everything has gone entirely different than what I had hoped/expected and it ate up a lot of time doing so! I haven't been sure whether to

Humanoid Robot Works Side by Side With People
05/22/12 ScienceDaily — The first robots reached the world of industry over 60 years ago. Since then, for security reasons, they have performed their work isolated in cages, and that prevented collaboration between workers and machines. The research centre Tecnalia Research & Innovation is embarking on a new era by incorporating into European industry the first robot capable of working shoulder to shoulder with people. There are two aims: to improve the capacities of the workers in conditions of safety; and to increase the competitiveness of the factories in international markets. For this it has the robot Hiro, Japan's most closely…

It is home to 70 academics and businesses who are leading current thinking in 'nouvelle' and service robotics, intelligent autonomous systems and bio-engineering. Over $2.5 million has been spent on the new facilities which cover 2,400 sqm, with over 300 metres of specialised laboratory space and two Flying Arenas. "This is probably the largest robotics lab in Europe," said Libor Kral, Head of Unit Cognitive Systems for Interaction Robotics at the European Commission. Robotics is a key element for…

Bottom Rockets
Somewhat related to the shovel-sled (second cousins, mother's side), these plastic contraptions are like hard hats for your butt. They range from form-fitting to paddle-shaped, and one version is actually built into a pair of slip-on shorts. Go figure.Chariots of Fiberglass
Modern variations on the toboggan tend to be smaller, one-person affairs made of the same material found in food-storage containers (polywolyvinylfredandethylchloride), and they're just about as sturdy. Caveat vector. ("Let the passenger beware.")
Slip-Sliding Away
The flexible plastic roll-up sled was designed for cheapness and portability, not speed or control. Sure, it slides fairly well, but so do you–right off the sheet. On the other hand, you can always chop vegetables on it.
A Leak of Your Own
Somebody thought plastic inflatable sleds were a good idea–probably the same person who invented those singing-fish wall plaques. Designed to look cool, most of these dirigibles have the aerodynamic efficiency of an eggplant … except that eggplants don't spring a leak if you go over a rock. Leave the blow-up toys at the beach.

Why Radio Is the Last to Play the Biggest Song of the Summer
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- When the most popular song of the moment isn't necessarily the one on the radio or anything being sold in stores or even online, what makes it the definitive song of the summer?
Increasingly, you do.
There used to be a simple formula to this: Release a single to radio sometime in spring, make a video shortly thereafter, let it ferment for a few months and then watch the money roll in just in time for a summer tour. Katy Perry's people at Capitol Records have mastered this method and dropped I Kissed A Girl in April 2008 to make it that summer's biggest single, then held off until early May 2010 to launch that summer's gigantic California Gurls.
In 2009, The Black Eyed Peas and Interscope Records waited until May 21 to release I Gotta Feeling and it still took over the summer charts by the Fourth of July. Even now-defunct LMFAO and Interscope managed to pull it off after releasing Party Rock Anthem in early March 2011, only to see it sell 7 million downloads by July and appear in a hamster-laden commercial for the Kia Soul by August.But last year was different, and it threw a crowbar right into the machine. Carly Rae Jepsen, by rights, was nowhere close to the U.S. charts the winter before. Her little earworm Call Me Maybe was released on a small label in Canada in September and, while it performed admirably there in Jepsen's home market, it took some well-placed tweets from Justin Bieber in January 2012 to give it some momentum. Jepsen's modest video for the song started racking up hits on YouTube just before Bieber, then-girlfriend Selena Gomez, Disney (DIS) kid Ashley Tisdale and Nickelodeon band Big Time Rush put up their own YouTube video for the song that February. Call Me Maybe climbed slowly up the U.S. charts through March and April, but got a big boost in may when the Harvard Baseball Team posted a lip-dub version of the song in May. A version with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on NBC's Late Night followed. By the time the Crystal Palace football club, the U.S. Swim Team, the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, The Chippettes, members of the U.S. military and Cookie Monster released their versions in July, the song was in the middle of a nine-week stint on Billboard's Hot 100. So what? So Jepsen and her backers made it happen largely without the major label infrastructure, the radio airplay or the traditional video (seriously, Jepsen's original is a tragedy compared with the various interpretations). It got some big, Bieberian help, sure, but it carved into summer pop territory usually reserved for Perry, the Black Eyed Peas, Diddy, Christina Aguilera and other major label money piles. It put Jepsen up with Aguilera and Mariah Carey as the only women to make their debut with the biggest hit of the summer (Carey's 1990 hit Vision of Love and Aguilera's 1999 single Genie In A Bottle).

Schizophrenia in children younger than 15 years of age is rare. Sometimes autism, depression, anxiety, or other conditions are confused with childhood schizophrenia.
In general, the condition develops slowly. The child usually starts by having problems in school, at home, and in social situations. Children with schizophrenia often hear voices and other noises that other people do not hear (auditory hallucinations). They also firmly believe something is true even when there is proof that it is false (delusion). They also may:
Childhood schizophrenia does not appear to be related to intelligence, because children with schizophrenia have average intelligence. They usually do not have any other physical illnesses.
Treatment for childhood schizophrenia includes medicine, counseling, and family support.

Oxford United's players have been given no assurances they will be in the side next season, but Gary Waddock has not transfer-listed anyone under contract.
During a desperately disappointing finish to the campaign, which saw the U's drop out of the Sky Bet League Two play-off places, the head coach suggested nobody was safe this summer.
Following a home defeat to Accrington Stanley last month, he said: "Big decisions need to be made and they certainly will be."
Deane Smalley, Sean Rigg and Scott Davies, whose contracts expired at the end of the season, were released last week.
Loan trio Ryan Williams, Nicky Wroe and David Connolly have returned to their parent clubs, while James Constable and Tom Newey are considering contract offers.
For the moment no-one else is likely to leave, with those remaining at the club told they will be given the chance to claim a place in the team during pre-season.
Waddock said: "I've spoken to the players who are under contract.
"When they come back in they have to earn the right."
The U's boss has been busy chasing targets to improve the squad since the season finished, but is not actively looking to free up more room in the squad by making players available for transfer.
"There's no point in doing that," he said.
"There's a good group of people here.
"The one thing I did say is there's no guarantee they will be starting in that first team – that goes across the board.
"The ones I've moved out are out of contract and they've gone.
"Players that don't figure in the early part of the season will have to make their minds up."
Waddock also confirmed Jake Wright will remain United captain after the club activated a clause in the defender's contract which extends his stay for another 12 months.
He said: "We've had a number of conversations since I've been here and he's been good within the dressing room.
"His form wants to be better than it has been and he's had injuries through the course of the season.
"He needs a breather just like all the other players do."

Lewis Hamilton has admitted his victory in the Bahrain GP was on a "knife-edge" after triumphing in a thrilling duel with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg
In one of the most exciting races for many a year, and on an afternoon when critics of the 'new Formula 1' fell silent as the nail-biting 57 laps produced action and drama galore, Hamilton prevailed by the narrowest of margins as he crossed the line just one second ahead of his team-mate and title rival.
It was a race which, in effect, Hamilton had to win three times: first at Turn One when he out-braked the pole-starting Rosberg with scarcely a tyre's width between the two W05s as Hamilton snuck into the lead, then on Laps 17-18 as he just rebuffed Rosberg's advances to retain the critical strategic advantage of pitting first and finally, after the Safety Car deployment wiped up the ten-second lead he had painstakingly built up, holding off Rosberg during the edge-of-the-seat final laps despite running on the slower medium compound. This was F1 at its very best with the winner of the race still in doubt all the way to the chequered flag.
"I thought he was coming past me at some point," Hamilton confessed to Sky Sports F1. "It was very hard but very fair. It was on a knife-edge and such a relief when I crossed the line."
Twice Rosberg edged ahead of his team-mate into Turn One over the final laps and twice Hamilton defiantly clung on to the inside line at Turn Two to hold on for the lead and a victory which narrowed his World Championship deficit to 11 points.
"He was so quick at the end and to try and stay ahead of him out of the DRS zones was so hard," reflected Hamilton. "To be overtaken, when you do allow him to go past you have to calculate how you are going to get back. Every time I did it perfectly.
"He had the option tyre so I thought he was coming past at some point, but in the last couple of laps I was able to hold onto it.
"It was one of the toughest situations I've been in for a long time."
Rosberg, to his immense credit, warmly embraced Hamilton before the podium ceremony but couldn't disguise his irritation at being beaten on an weekend when even Hamilton admitted the German had been the faster Mercedes driver.
"I strongly dislike coming second, but that was the most exciting race of my career," said Rosberg. "It was very intense, a big battle and really aggressive, putting everything to the limit and so many times I thought 'now I've got him' and he just came back at me.
"But this was a day for the sport, I think we put on a great show."
They certainly did that with the breathtaking spectacle served up under the lights occurring in the wake of fresh criticism of F1's new model.
"That's the spirit of Mercedes and what motor-racing should be," countered team boss Paddy Lowe. "We went out there today and showed everyone not only can we bring fantastic technology to the sport but we can bring entertainment too."
Just before the race was reactivated following the lengthy Safety Car deployment following Esteban Gutierrez's crash, Lowe was overheard on the Mercedes pit radio urging both his drivers to "bring the car home", but he was at pains afterwards to clarify that the directive did not constitute a team order.
"It didn't mean don't race, we aren't about that - and we proved that today. They are such great drivers, they made it easy for us because they took it right to the limit but not beyond."
Added Hamilton: "It felt very close - and I guess the team will decided how close that was. But Nico drove very well and hopefully I drove safe enough to stay in front. Hopefully we have more races like that in the future."
Amen to that.

Need to cycle or it loses effectiveness This has been great fpr periodic limb movement and sleep. This also had the positive side effect of reducing the occurance of migranes and depression.
I never would have thought I was missing so muh sleep.
The problem is that over time the effect of this drug diminishes. There are a couple ways to handle this. One is not take it on weekends. The other is to take a month out of the year to cut back. I cut back by .25mg steps for 2 weeks per step. Try to get completely off. Then slowly start back up again. I have gone as hign as 1.5mg.

Progress and no progress :)
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 11-30-2012 - 7:27pm
So as I mentioned on another thread, our montly deficit is going from $90/mo to $477/mo in January. We also an unexpected $600 car bill last month so it has been a bit of a struggle.
My second income options are very limited bc I have a highly professional job. You can't really be a high level manager and take on waitressing at the local pub! grr...DH has been unable to find ANYTHING - well, he and DS1 delivered phone books one w/end and earned $100 - but nothing consistent. I even took on the northern part of our province as my territory bc you can't make it there and back in a "normal" day so business trips usually include overtime. But they have cancelled any overtime!
That is the no progress. The progress is that DH and I both got 2% raises as of Dec. Not much but every bit helps. Also, I have been doing mystery shopper gigs and website reviews to earn another $100/month. Again, not much! DH is getting 25 hours/week up from 20 hours/week.
But Feb, Dh sees a $1/hr raise. Mar, we both get 1% raises, etc.
So I just keep telling myself this is going to get better!
I just feel like a terrible mother. My kids can't do recreational courses or lessons. DS2 has no winter/rain boots (it rained 23 days in Nov here). DS1 only has 4 pairs of pants that fit him. Etc. You can only buy no clothings and things for so long. We bought DS1 his boots at a second hand store but there was nothing for the little guy.
All my extra money goes to "date nights" twice a month but I feel like after working 12 hour days & the extra side stuff, I need it for my sanity.
I am considering cashing in some retirement savings to ease things a bit. We are also considering selling our home and renting (it would be cheaper and we would pay off the car loans)...
Once DH is working FT this will all be an unpleasant distant memory. The silver lining is that it has given me the push to go back and finish a degree I started in 1998~!
|Sat, 12-01-2012 - 11:35pm
Ironically we live in an upscale neighhourhood and the second store gets cleaned out quickly! You see mercedes and bmws in the parking lot.
I am thinking of driving over to another neighbourhood with more modest means to see if they have anything for DS2.
Also, I buy most of the kids clothes from craigslist. DS1 wore size 2-4 clothes from a garbage bag I bought for $23. DS2 is now starting to wear them too. I am terribly frugal. It would be nice to go and buy the boys new clothes - DS1 is constantly asking as he has figured out most of his clothes are second hand :(
|Sat, 12-01-2012 - 11:30pm
Thanks for the encouragement. We are thinking of moving to a slightly smaller community closer to DH's work so he can bicycle to work. The plan would be rent intially and then buy once we figure out the lay of the land. Plus, we are keeping our eyes peeled for jobs in two rural neighbourhoods to which Dh can transfer his job. It's just my job that is the problem. So renting would give us the flexibility to JUMP on any opportunities should they arise!
We would just be speeding up the plan. We can rent a whole house w/backyard where DH works. We don't have a backyard and I don't want the kids to go another year w/o one. If they aren't attending recreational activities, it makes it more important.
Feeling better tho - DH is at work right now getting a couple more hours :)
|Sat, 12-01-2012 - 5:33pm
Are there any consignment shops for kids' clothes near where you live--or even in Goodwill or thrift type stores sometimes they have good clothes. My 17 yr old son went to a Goodwill store & bought some wool sweaters for about $1 each--not cause he couldn't afford better clothes, because he thought it was fun. I don't know how old your kids are but sometimes they have free things to do sponsored by your town--maybe the school or the library. There are many kids whose families can't afford to do private lessons--your kids have food & a house to live in so you aren't being a terrible mother. I mean my exH grew up in a family of 6 kids--their dad was a mailman and mom didn't work cause she had to take care of the kids. He's always joking around about how "poor" they were but it sure didn't make him not love his parents. Good luck with getting raises.
|Sat, 12-01-2012 - 12:48pm
Don't say that, I don't like it! You are are wonderful mother! Take a step back and don't be selling your house until there is a last resort. See how the raises and extra income pans out with cutting back.
I know you have a sinking feeling right now with running the numbers but it may not be as bad as you think.
Continue to think outside the box as you are and see how Jan and Feb play out.

Updated with comment on U.S. Bancorp, along with a price target increase, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Erika Penala.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "The stocks are so cheap and the fundamentals so generally favorable that, in the absence of bad news, the stocks should drift higher."
That's what Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski said on Sunday, when the analyst considered the strong performance for bank stocks year-to-date, and investor fears of big slides for bank stocks, like the ones seen in April 2010 and in November 2011. "Investors are becoming less skittish about bank stocks and beginning to recognize that the fundamental improvements are for real," he said, adding that "the fact that we have effectively de-coupled from the Euro stress in recent months is illustrated by the fact that the
The KBW Bank Index returned 29% year-to-date, through Monday's close at 50.77, following a 25% decline during 2011. All but two of the 24 index components saw year-to-date gains through Monday. Three of the index components saw year-to-date gains of over 50% through Monday's close, while 15 of the index components saw gains of over 25%.Of course, European-inspired nail biting is very likely to continue, as the various players negotiate a bailout for the eurozone's most troubled institutions, while also setting up a unified regulatory regime, to give the European Central Bank supervisory powers that are now enjoyed by eurozone member nations. Turning back to the U.S., Kotowski said that "looking first at the most easily quantifiable benchmark, price to tangible book value ... we can see that on average the

The regulated release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. A neurotransmitter is any of a group of substances that are released on excitation from the axon terminal of a presynaptic neuron of the central or peripheral nervous system and travel across the synaptic cleft to either excite or inhibit the target cell. Among the many substances that have the properties of a neurotransmitter are acetylcholine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, dopamine, glycine, gamma-aminobutyrate, glutamic acid, substance P, enkephalins, endorphins and serotonin.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of late endosome to lysosome transport.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of protein binding.
Fusion of intracellular membrane-bounded vesicles with the pre-synaptic membrane of the neuronal cell resulting in release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.

The minimum width of the Windows Internet Explorer window is 250 pixels. For browser-hosted pages, this means that the value of WindowWidth may not be applied if it would cause the total width of the Windows Internet Explorer window to be less than 250 pixels.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
