Every year, video game companies go all out at one specific event – the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which takes place every year in Los Angeles around June. Here, companies like to show off what lies ahead in the next twelve to fifteen months, big projects, small uprisings, little advancements to their hardware…that sort of thing. We've been to a lot of shows now, and they've been impressive, but E3 2012 should be an even bigger year, thanks to what the companies are bringing.
Sony has become known as of late to release a series of high-definition collections for the PlayStation 3, including a pair of God of War games and the Sly Cooper games, as well as Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Well, chalk up three more PS2 favorites that are coming to the system this February, as the company has officially announced that Jak and Daxter Collection is on the way.
It's hard to believe that the tiny little studio that made the slipshod 3DO beat-em-up Way of the Warrior has come this far over the years. Naughty Dog is now one of the most respected game developers out there, thanks to the imminent success of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, easily one of the PS3's best games. Now comes the inevitable sequel, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, continuing the tale of treasure hunter Nathan Drake and his close friends. And it's an adventure well worth partaking.
It's only been two days since the Battlefield 3 beta went public for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and players everywhere are rushing to download it and see what EA's proposed "Modern Warfare" killer has to offer. So far, the feedback hasn't been the greatest, with users reporting a number of problems in-game, mainly with bugs, glitches and being unable to join games. Will this possibly reflect on the final product?
Gotta love special edition controllers, whether they're the Gears of War 3 Microsoft Xbox 360 pad or the cool baseball-colored PlayStation 3 controller. There's something about owning just the right model when it comes to the game at hand. Sony, recognizing this, is releasing a couple more specially made controllers for its PlayStation 3...in Japan at least...for two titles that are sure to get fans riled up. The only question now is when they get a release in the rest of the world.
Sony opened up its press conference in Cologne, Germany today to highlight some of the stuff they would be showing at the GamesCom event this week. Several new announcements were made, including some revolving around the PS Vita handheld system -- and the PlayStation 3's price drop, effective IMMEDIATELY.
GamesCom 2011 is just about through with its first day, and already we've gotten a slew of new information, surprises (price drop for PS3, anyone?), and all kinds of game footage to make us drool like crazy over the next few months in anticipation. But two new video releases stand out as highlights, both coming from top-tier publishers and featuring the kind of effort that could turn millions of heads of video gamers. The only question now is -- if you only had to choose one, what would it be?
One of the highlights for our trip to Comic-Con this year was attending the panel for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, set for release on PlayStation 3 this November. The panel included the likes of behind-the-scenes folks at Naughty Dog, including Amy Hennig herself, as well as voice talent such as Nolan North and Emily Rose. It was a delightful sit-in, and not just because of a shirt giveaway. But, hey you can see for yourself.
For the most part, developers and publishers work closely together when it comes to certain projects, in order to get the most out of them. Sega has built a respectful partnership with Platinum Games through a series of projects (including Bayonetta and Vanquish), Microsoft and Epic Games have done quite well with Gears of War, and Sony is no doubt keeping in constant touch with Naughty Dog over the upcoming Uncharted 3. But a relationship between the two doesn't always come easy. One glimpse of the Rockstar Games/Team Bondi drama that's unfolding is a clear hint of that.
Uncharted 2's multiplayer mode didn't blow anyone away with superbly tight controls or incredible depth. However, it was still a lot of fun and had some of the best looking environments and smoothest animations among multiplayer games. Uncharted 3's multiplayer offering adds a lot of the depth that is now commonplace in addition to making some interesting and original changes.

In 1976, some Americans made an educational film called "Graffiti– Fun or Dumb?". It's hilarious. Maybe it's the theme song ("Are they just heroes? Or are they just zeroes?") or the fact that Jim is the worst fucking graffiti artist ever, but this video is truly gold.

Riot should do everything they can to make it possible , i started to play before EU servers came out , and now i need to start over from lvl 1
Voting for this as well.
Please make it possible!
FFS. Stop asking for it they will make it when they want to...
That would be nice thing to add, as it would solve lots of issues EU players have( including several friends of mine who played over few thousand games each). My Vote for this option!
I can't believe! It past more than 1 year and still it is not done.... what a shame.....

Bump Like so many I got on the usa server by accident following the link a friend sent me. I wasn't even aware there was a euro server at the time. I already pumped quite some cash into my account, easely over 200 dollars and have around 1500 games under my belt. I just can't give that up and start over. I would like to play with fellow countrymen and players out of my region, participate in euro tournaments and ofcourse with a lower ping. Even want to pay a reasonable fee for the transfer. Thank you.
When I started playing I didn't know how to go to eu server and later I realised my latency would be much better in eu server and that most eu people play there. Now I have gathered a lot of champions and runes and don't feel like starting from beginning because it takes so much time so I'm hoping I could transfer one account some day from us server to eu permanently.
Would be really nice to have a possibility of server transfer.Bump!

For the third season in-a-row, we are honored to have the faculty of the Vanderbilt School of Nursing back to guest blog for us each Monday morning about the previous night's episode of Call the Midwife, airing on Sundays on NPT and PBS Stations nationwide at 7:00 p.m. Central, March 30-May 18. Check in here every Monday morning for the next eight weeks for historical and contemporary context on the show, and some fun discussion. Plus, this year we'll have the occasional bonus blog from across the pond to get the British perspective. So be sure to check the blog TWICE on Mondays. SPOILER ALERT: Some posts may contain spoilers, so please be aware of that.
By Michelle Collins PhD, CNM
Like many of you, I eagerly curled up on the couch to watch this long anticipated first episode of season three. I confess, I have missed my Call the Midwife fix. I think that all midwives can identify with Chummy (Miranda Hart) in this episode. Her struggle to be content as a wife and mother, while attempting to squelch the aching call to be working as a midwife, was one that I know many a midwife has struggled with as well. Midwifery is a calling much more than it is a career or an occupation … I know many midwives will be nodding their heads in agreement when I say that if we weren't paid to do what we do, we would probably offer to pay for the privilege of being able to be midwives (shhh… don't let our employers hear that!)
To have the privilege of walking with women through such crucial times in their lives is just that – a privilege. Every time we receive a new life into our hands, or empower a woman with her own healthcare decisions, or even in the very saddest of times, when we have to tell a woman that the life inside her has been stilled – it is a privilege, and one we feel called to, at that. Thankfully women no longer have to choose between being wife and mother and answering the callings of our hearts.
Another aspect I loved from this episode was Sister Monica Joan's (Judy Parfitt) part in the diagnosis of the child with cystic fibrosis. She is, admittedly, my favorite cast character (I suspect I am not alone in that). Two thoughts came to me from her part of the storyline. First was the fount of wisdom those like Sister Monica Joan are for the rest of us. The older I get, the more I value those mentors who I count on as my own "wise women;" those who have spent years accumulating wisdom – that is, the kind that is not able to be retrieved from books. Second, it reminded me of the importance of the "wisdom of the ages." I am referring to the cystic fibrosis diagnostic information that Sister Monica Joan uncovered in one of her antique books, which all around her wanted to dismiss. How often in medicine, and in particular childbirth, do we find that there is a "latest and greatest" way to approach it? Some new guideline or method or tool to "improve" on what women have instinctively been doing for thousands of years (and doing a pretty fine job at I might add). Women see it as progress, for example, to choose the day that their child will be born (either by undergoing elective cesarean section or induction of labor). In reality, doing so negates every physiologic, biologic, and psychological instinct and process that women and their babies have relied on for centuries in order to birth successfully.
"Just as a women's heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth." – Virginia Di Orio
I think I know what Sister Monica Joan would have to say about that …

Which Actors Have Won Three Oscars?
Could Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, Sally Field or Robert De Niro join them?
Ingrid Bergman
Before Streep it was just Ingrid Bergman keeping Katharine Hepburn company with three wins. In fact, director Sidney Lumet had attempted to cast her in a meatier role in the film that brought her her third Oscar, attempting to pave the way for the honor. But she insisted on playing a smaller role and ended up with a trophy anyway. Nevertheless, Lumet had a hand in that: he filmed her big moment all in one take, allowing her to run a gamut of emotions without a cutaway. Bergman received seven nominations over the years, and no, one of them didn't come for "Casablanca."
"Gaslight" (1944) - Best Actress
"Anastasia" (1956) - Best Actress
"Murder on the Orient Express" (1974) - best Supporting Actress

By expanding its geographic reach and therefore the size of its networks, trading communication provider IPC Systems captured the industry's attention in being named best trading turret provider in this year's Waters Rankings.
Most recently, IPC Systems upgraded its pan-Asian optical network which delivers private-line voice and electronic connectivity services to connect trading venues across financial centers in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. It also added network capacity in Korea and Taipei. IPC also plans to double existing network and hosting operations in Asia and Latin America, where it has already expanded its network and hosting operations over the past year. IPC upgraded its Toronto point of presence in April to provide connectivity and voice services to the Canadian market. In addition, IPC secured more space in Equinix datacenters located in the UK and Singapore, to expand its core network infrastructure.

RANCHI: The Maoist bandh called to raise procurement price of kendu leaves - used to make beedi - affected life in rural areas of the state, especially in bordering areas of West Bengal, Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
The rebels had called a two-day bandh that ended at Monday midnight in three states. Last year also the rebels had pasted posters following which the villagers had earned good returns on their produce.
All shops and business establishments in rural areas of East and West Singhbhum, Ranchi, Lohardaga, Gumla and Simdega remained closed during the day and no transporter dared to ply his vehicle fearing backlash by the rebels. The transporters are afraid because last week rebels had set ablaze two passenger jeeps in Khunti for violation of bandh called last month.
Transportation of minerals, including iron ore, bauxite and coal, was also hit in most places due to non-availability of trucks and dumpers. The state government had reduced entry tax on kendu leaf and beedi from 5% to 1%. However, the demand for hike in minimum support price was ignored.
Police sources said the Maoists even forced bank and insurance employees to skip office during the day. "The fear was such that no one tried to violate the bandh call and land in trouble later," said a source, adding that the reason for success of the bandh is rebels extending support to cause of poor people. "Usually, poor people are associated with collection and sale of kendu leaves. Anyone who violated the bandh would have hurt the sentiment of people involved in the business," said the source.
Jharkhand police spokesman IG R K Mallik termed the bandh "peaceful" as no untoward incident was reported in any part of the state. "The bandh was called only to gain sympathy of people associated with the business. We feel that main beneficiary of hike in price of kendu leaves will be big businessmen who purchase from villagers and sell it to beedi factories," said Mallik.
The bandh did not affect life in urban centres of the state. All business establishments and offices functioned normally.

This BB cream is okay for the first hour but it eventually made my face feel really oily after that I had to keep touching up with a powder it was really annoying
I've tried countless other foundations...mineral powders..creams ect. Can't believe I finally found one that works. I LOVE this product! I have dry skin so I love that its a dewy finish. Probably not great for oily skin though...
I find it had decent lasting power!! About as good as any I have tried!
Many foundations look too caked on.., I just tried bare minerals and although staying power was ok it showed all my fine lines and felt dry.
If you want a medium to light coverage with great staying power and a dewy beautiful finish...this is for you!!!!!!
This makes my skin look better than any other product I've tried! And I've tried a LOT!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
good dewy finish over l'ordeal skin perfect bb provides a pretty nice finish. not oily or shiny and not cakey. photoready foundation was too heavy. this is great and I'll be sticking with it.
I liked this BB cream, it's better than the other ones I've tried (Maybelline and Garnier). Decent coverage, smells like sun screen, and last most of the day. I wear it with concealer and powder to absorb the oil.
Overall I'd buy it again.
I like this product. I don't need much coverage but I wanted something sheer to even out some slight redness in my skin and also to help my blush go on better. It's sheer, doesn't feel greasy or heavy, goes on easily and the light matched my fair skin well.
This is a great bb cream for those who are very fair and yellow toned (pale 001) and if you have had no luck with any other commonly available creams in regards to colour (most are very orange or much too dark) you may be very pleased with this product. As will you be if like me you have normal/dry skin and find all the oily/combo creams far too drying. I use this over my regular moisturiser and it doesn't highlight any dry patches or flakes. It has an spf of 30 which I would give it an extra lippy for alone. When first applying it can look a bit streaky but bear with it while it warms up it will soon blend in like a dream within a few seconds with the heat of your skin and it only improves during the day - apply in the morning and late in the afternoon I look in the mirror and it still looks perfect. Really covers minor imperfections without looking like you are wearing anything - glowy and fresh looking without being greasy. Covers pores like a dream. Truly one of the best BB creams I have tried and definitely my most favourite makeup of all-time the shade and texture are just perfect for me.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this BB cream. It doesn't have very many colors available, but medium fits me well. It's not as moisturizing as I would've liked but it has decent coverage and is easy to blend. I will repurchase.
I bought this to see if it would make my forehead less shiny than the maybelline bb cream, but it's just the same and I like the colour of the maybelline more for my skin tone . I am considering throwing my tube away which at ~8$ at cvs in the US would not be too painful and help declutter my shelf. i did my best to use it up in the summer because of the high SPF but did not learn to like it more. I do think the packaging looks more professional than the maybelline one though, which looks like something for teenagers, so I take this one for hand luggage only trips on the plane so I'm not embarrassed at security check.
I have combination skin with occasional dry patches. And i really like this bb cream. I use it in light/medium with revlon colorstay concealor and a loose powder.
Pros: perfect amount of coverage im looking for, and a natural finish that ive been looking for
Cons: i wish it had a better lasting power, and it does have a bit of a dewey finish (which if you use a bit of powder over it, its not a problem at all)
I will repurchase but I do need to find something that lasts at least 7-10 hour day
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am so not happy with this BB cream. If there was a tester at the store where I bought this from, I definitely wouldn't buy it. But since I love the Colorstay foundation I thought I would give this a try. Obviously, I regretted buying it. It does not give a coverage at all. It applies like a tinted moisturizer, appears sticky and transclucent upon application and has an inaccurate colour with the label. Because of such quality I do not think the price is suitable, in my place it costs around USD14.
Generally I think this product is a NO-NO X-(

Rain and temperatures might fall hard over the next few days, as the monsoon is expected to begin in earnest.
June 15 start date for monsoon season debated
Monsoon expected to pack more punch this year
Weather Service defines 'Arizona Monsoon Season'
Daytime highs will drop to the upper 90s by Friday, which is about 10 degrees below normal.
Also, the Valley's forecast between tonight and Friday night shows a 40 percent chance of precipitation.
Because of the possibility of thunderstorms and showers dropping plenty of rain, the National Weather Service is considering issuing a flash flood watch for the Valley and other parts of south-central Arizona.
According to the weather service, a disturbance in the upper atmosphere will slide from northwest Mexico into Arizona late today. Meanwhile, the air above our state already is laden with moisture, meaning the conditions are ripe for what meteorologists are calling "a high-grade monsoon."
In addition, the prevailing winds are out of the east and northeast, so storms forming over the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains will move toward the Valley

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In order to understand why links are so important, it may help to understand the problem that search engines use links to solve. It's hard now for many of us to imagine the world without a World Wide Web, but by the end of 1993 there were only around 600 websites and most of those 600 sites were pretty thin; a handful of pages each. In August of that year, when there were just a couple of hundred websites, a well-known computer book publisher O'Reilly and Associates launched what was probably the first commercial directory of the Internet, GNN, the Global Network Navigator.
Much of the directory was based on the whole Internet catalog. In effect, it was like a paper directory of websites posted on the web. In September, another directory appeared on the scene, W3 Catalog. And in January of 1994, when there were around 600 websites, David and Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web launched. You'll know that directory better by its later name Yahoo! Yahoo! eventually became the world's top search directory and the world's most popular site. These were all web directories.
In other words, they were list of websites with a little information explaining what each list of site contained. That was fine in the early days when the web simply didn't contain much information. But as the web grew, they became unwieldy. If you're trying to find a particular Shakespeare sonnet, a directory will tell you which sites might contain the information, but they don't let you see what's in each site. They simply tell you what each site is about and it's up to you to go to the site to see if it contains what you're looking for.
So the next step was the search engine, a system that created an index of pages within sites. There were various simple search engines early on, but perhaps the first true web search engine, a system that would allow use of the search through the text contained in web pages within index websites, was WebCrawler launched in April 1994. A directory provides minimal information about a site. A search engine, though, lets user search pages within sites, a far more useful service.
During 1995 and over the next few years, all sorts of other search engines appeared on the scene; Magellan, Excite, Infoseek, HotBot, Northern Light, and of course AltaVista which became hugely popular when it launched late in 1995. Finally, in 1998, Google appeared on the scene. By the end of the decade, the writing was on the wall, search engines were the future and over time search engines would more or less kill off the directories. Even Yahoo! had to switch.
In the year 2000, Yahoo! began using Google's index to provide search results to Yahoo! searches, then gradually pushed the directory further down the page until they removed it from their homepage entirely. Yahoo! Directory still exists today of course, though most users have no idea where. But the search engines have problems of their own. As the web grew to around two to three million websites and hundreds of millions of web pages by the time Google appeared on the scene, the problem of sorting through the starry amount of data was becoming overwhelming.
Google was based on a revolutionary idea that you could figure out what a web page was about and whether it was a good match for someone's search query, not just by looking at the page itself but also by looking at links pointing to that page. Those links could be inside the website within which the page was found, but could even be pointing to the page from other websites; sites that the owner of the reference web page might not even know existed. And that's what we'll look at in the next video.

A real nice mini! Got this in the summer, it nearly died and dropped 60% of it's leaves, and then proceeded to put out 15 spikes. Lots of the flowers seem a bit malformed, with smaller petals than normal. I'm suspecting this is due to irregular watering. Flowers are only around 0.5" but I really enjoy how they are held on thin spikes high above the 1" bulbs. In full bloom, I'm invisioning something like a little purple orchid cloud. For now, here are some macros!

Very very cute, have been looking at this one for a while. ? cool grower. Some of the Thai vendors seem to be selling this. Nice growing! |

Thanks everyone - as promised here are some more complete plant shots. Man it is hard to take pics of flower clusters - looks to me like a chaotic mess. It looks much better in reality - honest! |

Ask WoW Insider: How does tier gear work? {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2007 1:29PM Alright just trying to be clear on now I'm 60 it really isn't a point to go for 60 gear at all really just 70 gear. But as far as the Tier Sets. I don't know about Tier 6, but I know Tier 4 & 5 is sold buy a vendor in Shatterath City. I had my lvl 45 BE Priest summon there just to see what he look like in them. But I don't know what the cost is. I do see the token icons though as the price. I hope I understand correctly, but you only get the tokens by doing instances in Heroic mode, at least that's what is stated in the BC guide. I'm too assume that depending what instance you do in Heroic drops that instance Heroic token and you take that token to the vendor.
And to answer how tokens drops. I believe the guide said 1 for everyone.

all you pasta lovers and those with a sweet tooth! Just because Valentine's Day
is over doesn't mean you should forget date night. And, who can resist a cozy
Italian restaurant followed by delicious desserts?
the night out right, Italian-style at Antonios
Ristorante Italiano or Casa
Bianca Ristorante. Antonios will have you feeling like you walked in a
neighbors home with the comfortable atmosphere. Order a glass of wine and
prepare yourself for authentic Italian food that will make your mouth water
after just reading the menu. This family owned restaurant is the perfect place
to start your night out and cozy up.
another tempting restaurant, Casa Bianca, also provides you the feeling of home
at this house turned restaurant. The multiple fireplaces provide the romantic
atmosphere and the delicious food will have you coming back. Whether you're
looking for eggplant cannelloni or a prime rib pizza, Casa Bianca's
American/Italian menu is sure to satisfy.
that delicious dinner with an even more delicious dessert.
Cupcakes or ice
cream? What's your preference? Either way you go, your taste buds are going to
thank you. Before that delectable dinner, pick up gourmet cupcakes from Jojo's Cupcakes
where 400-800 cupcakes are baked per day, treat yourself to a sweet dessert.
Gone are the days of chocolate or vanilla, you can choose from red velvet,
salted caramel, funfetti, chocolate banana chips and carrot cake, just to name
a few.
ice cream is your preference, stop at Graeter's
in West Chester where the ice cream is created just two gallons at a time to
get that extra creaminess in every scoop. Not only that, but the gallons of ice
cream are then hand-swirled by artisans. If that's not gourmet ice cream, who
knows what is! The toughest decision here is going to be which flavor to enjoy,
the favored Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip? Buckeye Blitz? Double Chocolate
Chip? There's no way you can go wrong!

text: 6 Bright Ideas for Bioluminescence Tech Living light from fireflies, bacteria, and other luminescent creatures could change the way we illuminate our cities, fight cancer, and find toxins in our water. By Adam Hadhazy Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 4 of 7 Fields Aglow Perhaps someday, when crops need water or nutrients, they'll be able to tell farmers. Plants could even go to red, yellow or green "alert" to give farmers early warning about disease and invasions by harvest-destroying pests. Lustrous veggies could signal good news, too: Bioluminescence genes might be tied to highlighting peak size or ripeness rather than to plant stress. Ideas for such smart crops received a fair amount of attention around 2000, when Anthony Trewavas, then a biologist at Cambridge University, experimented with bioluminescence and fluorescence in plants. Trewavas crafted a fluorescent potato that glowed under a black light when it was dehydrated, the idea being that farmers could then irrigate only when necessary and boost crop yields in the process. But Trewavas's research ran into the angst over genetically modified foods, which European countries have banned at various times since the late 1990s. (Anxieties about genetically modified organisms are a sticking point for releasing glowing roadside trees into the environment as well.) In his plan, only a few potatoes would get the glowing genes, and they would be used to monitor the general health of the whole crop and would not be eaten themselves. Plus, he argues, since potatoes are non-cross-pollinating tubers, gene transfer into the neighboring normal potatoes would not occur. Nevertheless, the concept of bioluminescent crops remains fallowfor now. "I have seen some attempts to use the idea but they have got no further than us," says Trewavas, who recently retired as a biologist at the University of Edinburgh. "It's an interesting idea that will come to fruition eventually but needs the backup of reliable funding."

Always nice to see signs of sanity from any Republican. The entire debt ceiling drama is a fraud, a way for Tea Party hypocrites to vote for spending, and then to put on a show of outrage when the bill comes due. Why the Democrats don't point this out eludes me; they disgust me almost as much as the Republicans.
I suspect that McConnell is starting to realize that the 14th Amendment could very well free the debt ceiling from direct Congressional approval. Of course, they control how much we have to borrow, because they control how much we spend.
I thought Gingrich and his crew pretty pathetic back in '95, but the 2011 GOP is beneath contempt.

Are you a runner? :) mamaspank 11-24-2009, 10:12 PM I started at about a half a lap around the track and worked my way up from there by alternating walking and jogging. I worked my way up to running about five and a half miles in an hour. Aclai4067 11-24-2009, 10:12 PM Start- maaaybe .1 miles, if I really pushed myself Now- about .35 miles (4 min) straight and that's saving energy for later (I run a bit over a mile total, and walk a little under a mile doing intervals for a total of 2.1 miles in 30 min) I can't wait 'til I can run a mile straight!! Oh and I started at 4.7 mph, now I'm at 5.1! Going to push for 5 min at 5.2 next week. Carly Smoker 11-24-2009, 11:53 PM A few weeks back I ran around my block and even though it wasn't easy I ran the whole way. I did it again the other day and then had my Hubby check the distance with his GPS and it was 1.2 miles. I was so proud. Soon I am going to run out of neighborhood. HeaterAS 11-25-2009, 12:12 AM I've dabbled in running in the past. Started and stopped c25k more times than I can count. Finally one day I ran outside and noticed that hey...I can run for longer than I run on the treadmill. Just very sloooooooooowly LOL At my high point last April I did a 5K where I jogged about 75% of it. I stopped running for the most part after that, but have recently started back up again. I started out running the loop around the elementry school and that was .56 miles (I wasn't totally out of shape though, I've been working out for almost 2 months now). Today I ran around the loop twice only stopping for about .12 of the double loop. So I ran about a mile with a small break in between. I'm sloooooooooooooooooow though. Like people are probably wondering what the heck I'm doing slow LOL Fat Pants 11-25-2009, 01:22 AM Starting out.... a minute before I felt like I might collapse and/or puke. Now - 10 months later? Just ran a 10k. :D I'm slow too.... the speed will come in time! srmb60 11-25-2009, 01:27 AM 22 seconds ... seriously! MaryEllen 11-25-2009, 02:01 AM I couldn't even run a quarter of a track...and I still have a hard time running on a treadmill or anything but I can do 5 miles in an hour on the elliptical. :D LittleMoonRabbit 11-25-2009, 06:39 AM I could only run a couple minutes in the beginning. I was so out of shape... actually, I had never actually be IN shape before. I never did sports or anything like that growing up, and I was always overweight. I am not big on just running, so I haven't actually tested how far I can run... but last night, I decided to run for 15 minutes or so, and I was barely breaking a sweat. So, now it made me want to test it! I think I am going to try the next time I am in the workout room, just to see how long. I am curious. I have wanted to run a 5k for a while... let's see if I could do it :) MBN 11-25-2009, 09:25 AM Seriously, when I started running (age over 40 I might add), I could only jog(slowly!) nonstop for a minute or two. I just did run/walk intervals and worked up from there. Eventually, I could reduce or eliminate the walk breaks over longer and longer distances. And I got faster too. Now? I run half marathons regularly. I did a 16 mile long run last Sunday. You just never know what you will be able to do until you try. But it takes consistent training over time to get there. It doesn't happen overnight. daisy5819 11-25-2009, 09:40 AM I could barely run a minute. Now i can run 4 miles without stopping which takes me about 45! the C25K is a miracle plan if you stick with it and push yourself. midwife 11-25-2009, 12:47 PM First time out? 50 meters. Longest? 13.1 miles. angee phalangee 11-26-2009, 08:57 AM When I first started exercising, I almost collapsed after about 30 seconds of slow jogging. Now, I've been exercising for 5 months and practicing running for about 1.5 months, and I can comfortably run 3/4 of a mile without stopping. I'm working on it diligently, though. mkendrick 11-27-2009, 03:31 PM I was just coming here to whine about how pitiful I am at running, this makes me feel so much better! I'm actually in decent shape, strength wise. I have a very physical job (I work at a horse barn), and I can toss hay bales all day, but for some reason, I have no wind built up. I've started to jog, and I can go for about 5 min straight but it hurts. Like my breathing gets all raspy and nasty feeling. I stretch, walk for a few minutes, run as long as I can, and then walk until my 60 min is up. Right now, only 5 min of that 60 min is running. I'd like to see how much of the 60 min I can fill up with running. I also run at a pretty good pace though, so my 5 min isn't terrible. I've gone running with my fiance who is in the Army, and although I can only keep up for a couple minutes, he says I'm running at a good 8-minute mile pace. If I try to slow down, I actually feel like I'm using more energy and just not getting anywhere. plaingirljane 11-27-2009, 04:50 PM I remember my runner friend was teaching me to run, and she told me to just start by having a first goal of running for 8 minutes on the treadmill. I thought to myself, "Hah! 8 minutes? i can do that, piece of cake." But then by minute 2 or so, I was huffing and puffing, sweating like mad, red in the face and couldn't finish and had to walk. Even when I did make it to be able to run for 8 minutes, I hated it. I thought it was the worst exercise ever and didn't understand how people liked it. I remember thinking that the treadmill was invented to make time go by as slow as possible. Now, I've reached the point where I can jog comfortably for about 5 miles and not ever be gasping for breath. I also feel great after running. You just gotta get past that beginning hurdle and you'll start to love it. Suzyszoo 11-27-2009, 08:19 PM Interesting, because I'm just now deciding I'm going to become a runner! My father and sister are great runners, my children are terrific runners, so I KNOW I have a running gene in here somewhere, and I'm going to find it! This is my 7th week at the gym, 3rd week running. At first, I could barely run 2 minutes without having to walk for 2 minutes, then run for 2...(rinse, repeat) until I hit 20 minutes. Next week, I could run for 3 minutes, walk, run... It hurt. I was winded, and red faced, and thought about giving up. Even this 3rd week was hard. But I realized, it got easier once I past the 5 minute mark. Granted, it's a slow run/jog pace, but it's improving. I can do 2.75 miles in around 30 minutes now, with only a few walking intervals in between. I'm actually looking forward to being able to run without taking the walking breaks. And going for runs next summer with my children. mkendrick 11-27-2009, 09:03 PM I just went for a great walk/run! It was only 30 min, but I really pushed myself. I warmed up, started running until I couldn't run anymore, walked until I caught my breath, and then jogged/walked/jogged/walked. I mentioned earlier that I actually have a problem with running too fast. It feels more natural to me than jogging, so I get winded quickly. I really do enjoy running. I LOVE the feeling when I first start out and I'm not hurting yet. I'm sure I don't look it, huffing and puffing and bumbling along in my baggy sweatshirt, but I feel graceful for the first 30 seconds or so when I get a good rhythm going. I'm looking forward to keeping that good feeling longer and longer before it starts to hurt. Thighs Be Gone 11-27-2009, 09:53 PM I started with 1/10 of a mile. Yep, that's all I could do. I now run 5 miles daily and could go further--maybe 7 or 8. crk05 11-27-2009, 10:29 PM I started out barely being able to run at all! If you would have asked me to run back in July, maybe I could have gone 30 seconds or so before I'd poop out!! I started Couch to 5K in August, completed it in November (it took me longer than the prescribed 9 weeks), and I did my first official 5K yesterday. I usually use run/walk intervals for my training and races (Jeff Galloway's method), so I technically don't run for more than a few minutes without a short walk break, but I CAN run 3-3.5 miles without any walking if I go slowly enough. My typical pace is somewhere in the 10:30-11:00/mile range, e.g. a 5K in around 34 minutes, which is what I did yesterday. Seriously, I NEVER imagined I could get into running until I got myself out there and tried it! I am constantly amazed by what my body can do if I just give it a chance. I am running my next 5K in two weeks, and I am looking into doing some 10K races in the spring and a half marathon next fall! This is the girl who could never run more than a lap on the track in junior high PE class. Lyria 11-28-2009, 05:33 PM I started out running a few hundred metres and then walking etc etc. One day I felt like I could probably go further and so just did, made a mini target like - run to the next light pole, got there and thought...i could do more, made anothe mini target, got there and though, hey I CAN do more and made another target and then another and another and before I knew had run about 4kms. The furthest I have now run was 30kms (19 miles) and that was just for the sheer **** of it. I regularly run between 8kms (5mile) and 14kms (9 miles) but will push it out to 18kms (11miles) or so on some days. Love it! HeaterAS 11-28-2009, 08:50 PM I totally heart this thread so much LOL Purplefirefly 11-29-2009, 06:00 AM I totally :love: this thread as well! I want to run one day but am starting with walking. I am going to walk a 5K in March and am starting training now. I hope to walk a 10K and half marathon by the end of the year as well and then see if I feel more confident running...it's nice to see others didn't just start out born runners, though! smisen 11-29-2009, 01:46 PM I started with the C25K program, so I started with 1 minute jogging, 90 seconds walking intervals - and I felt like I could barely move afterwards! Now, I can run a full 5K (albeit really, really slowly) and I'm working on getting my speed and endurance up. I'm planning to do a sprint triathlon next summer, which is sort of hard for me to wrap my mind around. Back in HS, I dated a guy in cross country who told me I could never be a runner, and I believed him. Now, I'd like to find him and rub his nose in a big pile of dirt (seriously, not a good guy - low self-esteem + HS will make you do silly things...) :) alexandraT 11-30-2009, 10:16 AM I started out being able to jog slowly for ... 2 minutes maybe? Now, after working out for 3-4 months, I'm up to 30 minutes on a good day! Albeit i'm a very slow jogger (5-5.5 mph) but it still thrills me nonetheless. I just love that I am now one of those people that can just get on a treadmill and run! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

My Election Day
Before the hereafter, 25 writers reflect, each in 140 words or less. Not characters. Because words matter.
Benjamin Percy
Every corner I turned, there was another cluster of nineteen-year-olds jeweled in buttons and screeching, "Vote!" It was obnoxiously endearing. And a dark part of me couldn't help but wonder how long it would take for the cynicism to set in.
The last time I felt that heart-swollen about an election: 2004. I tromped door-to-door and made my cheery pitch. Then the polls closed. And I felt so soured and incredulous, the results burning into my psyche, so that to this day I hesitate to hope too loudly.
Tuesday, I drove grimly to my polling center. Despite the rain, people, young and old, were clapping and whistling, wishing each other a good night. Somebody smashed a sticker over my heart, like a Band-Aid following an inoculation, curing my worry, replacing it with hopefulness for the tomorrow that came true.
Benjamin Percy's latest novel, Red Moon, will be released in May.

We are building a house with a sealed crawl and the sealing will be done next week. We waited until free the hvac, electricians and plumbers completed so the vapor barrier would not get damaged. The hardwood floors were installed earlier when it was very dry and the conditions were good for hardwood installation. Now it is time to sand and finish the floors and with all this rain we have been having, cool temperatures, windows open during the day for the subs, a crawl space with no cross ventilation, the house is very humid (73% according to my newly installed thermostat). It will be a couple of weeks before we have temporary power to run the hvac system. I have a dehumidifier running continuously in the house and draining in the sink. Should I put another dehumidifier in the crawl space or set up box fans at the two crawl space doors to help the moisture exit the house? The guys that are finishing the floors measured the floors in the house at a moisture level of 10-12 and the subfloor at 16. Way too damp to finish the floors.... And I don't want to rush them. I would rather wait for the conditions to be right and be happy with the finished floors forever. Thanks for any recommendations you may have! |

The HVAC should have been running well before the floors were installed. The floors need to acclimate for 3-4 weeks with the house at normal temperatures and humidity and the wood just stacked properly in the house. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Fri, May 10, 13 at 9:03
You're going to have problems. The floors shouldn't have been installed. The HVAC needs to be running prior to floor installation, not just finishing. Just look at threeapples saga to see your future. Your GC should bite the bullet now and remove the floors, turn on the HVAC for a month, then reinstall and finish. |

I'm with live wire. I wish ours would have been done differently and hope you can stop yourself from going down our path. |
I hope this works out for you but if it is 73% humidity in your home the crawl space will likely be much higher especially if it is a dirt or even gravel crawl. I went ahead and poured concrete in my crawlspace and it was near $7,000.00 compared to $11,000.00 to encapsulate the crawl. I have been running a de-humidifier and a fan in the crawl since the roof went on and it is staying nice and dry with about 45% humidity now. |

Alive in Wild Card race, D-backs look to sweep Padres
But that doesn't mean Arizona has given up. Against the Padres, who entered the series on a 9-2 tear, the D-backs have risen to the occasion by winning the first two games to keep their slim postseason hopes alive.
They will send young Tyler Skaggs to the mound with a chance of completing the sweep and earning their fourth-straight win.
After giving up just five earned runs in his first three starts, Skaggs has run into some trouble in his last two. He has surrendered 10 runs in those outings, including five runs in three innings to the Padres on Sept. 7.
"It's just one of those days," Skaggs said after that loss. "It seems like every time we play them, it's kind of the same thing."
For the Padres, they are hoping to turn things back around and continue playing spoiler.
San Diego entered the series 27-15 since Aug. 1 and 5-1 against the D-backs since the All-Star Break.
"They were playing pretty good, they've beaten a lot of people," Arizona starter Ian Kennedy said after the first game of the series. "They've taken care of us the last six times here. They are a good team. Their record of late shows that."
D-backs: MRI on Chris Young show no additional damage
Outfielder Chris Young re-aggravated his right quadriceps in the first inning of Tuesday's game and didn't play Wednesday, although he was available to pinch-hit.
He underwent an MRI on Wednesday, which did not show any additional damage. Young was in the lineup on Tuesday for the first time since Sept. 3.
"It's pretty much the same, it's the same area," Young said. "It doesn't seem like I've done more damage, just aggravated what I already had."
Padres: Richard yet to miss a start
Clayton Richard has been a model of consistency this season for the Padres, as he makes his 31st start of the season on Thursday.
The 29-year-old hasn't missed a start all season, which is a good thing for the Padres, since they have won his last five.
Richard has won six of his last eight starts, seven of his last 11 and 11 of his last 18. He looks to improve on that against the D-backs, whom he has had great success against in the past.
In seven career starts against Arizona, Richard is 5-0, with the Padres going 6-1 overall.
He threw seven innings of two-run ball in his last start and he allowed just three hits against the Cardinals.
"It's exciting when you're winning and playing good baseball," said Richard, who celebrated his 29th birthday in style, winning for the 13th time this season.
Worth noting
General manager Kevin Towers said he thinks Adam Eaton, who had a key triple and run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 victory, could be a "legitimate table setter" at the top of the order.
"When he comes to the plate, you see the corners are drawn in," Towers said. "He makes things happen. He gets on the basepaths, he's a good baserunner, he can steal bases, he puts pressure on the defense."
Richard's 202 innings are the most by a Padre since Jake Peavy worked 223 1/3 innings in 2007 and most by a Padres left-hander since Sterling Hitchcock worked 205 2/3 innings in 1999.

I buy SSS Original. People either love the scent or hate it. I'm one who happens to love it. It makes me reminisce about the camping trips I used to take with my family when I was a kid, where we'd use this as mosquito repellent. I love how soft it makes my skin feel and also the fabulous glow I have when I use it. And the price is cheap, especially when it goes on sale (which is very often). I just bought a 16 oz. bottle of the SSS bath oil for under $7.00, which I plan on using to fill up the bath oil spray that I bought last year. I checked the ingredients for both products and they are exactly the same. The spray retails for $6.00 and you only get 5 oz. Just keep the bottle and buy the BIG bottle for less than $1.00 more and you get over TRIPLE the amount! What a great steal for a gem of a product.
Smells horrible. Like insect repellant.
But it did leave my skin feeling awesome :)
But I don't think I will buy it again, as I think there are other products out there that do the same job without smelling so horrible.
This stuff smells like mosquito repellent, but does not actually work to repel mosquitoes. Blech. Do not like at all.
I love this stuff! Makes your skin very very soft. Someone asked me what kind of perfume I was wearing (I wasn't wearing any) when I used this b/c I smelled so good :) This is a must in everyones bath routine.
This is a staple from my childhood. Every mother I know slathered their family in it to ward off mosquitoes, and it really worked. The smell is ok, but I would only use it if mosquitoes were going to be an issue.As far as using this in your bathtub, please be careful because this stuff is so slippery.

I suspected less quality in Avon from my kid years' experience of playing with the little vials of sample lipsticks but dangit, I was wrong! I dislike admitting that but the Skin so Soft body oil is wonderful! Believe it or not, it's kind of a thicker oil to where you have a little bit more time to slather it where it needs to go before it seeps through your fingers so that's a plus. It smells light and floral but not heavy at all. This stuff ABSORBS, yes absorbs into your skin within a few mere minutes and doesn't leave you greasy! When I rinsed my hands with water, it rinsed too but left the pleasant after effects. WOW!
This is ok. My skin felt soft when I got out of the bath, but I cannot stand the smell. I have tried mixing it with other things to mask the odor, but nothing works. I finally threw it away.
OK, this and petroleum jelly will always have a spot in my medicine cabinet. My mom used this on me all the time when I was a little kid playing outside, because we lived in the country and had tons of mosquitos everywhere. I love the original scent. I love that it has a convenient little sprayer so you can apply it either in the bath or after you get out. I love that it's so cheap because I stock up and go through it like crazy. I love that it's not tested on animals. I love that it helps calm the KP on the backs of my arms. I love that I can use it to clean our fiberglass boat. There's nothing I DON'T love about this stuff!!

I loved this stuff back in the 90s, but now i can't stand it. MY husband and I are both in agreement that the smell is awful and it's too greasy. I used it in the tub the other night because my Mother-in-law gave me some, and I almost slipped getting out! I would just rather use my usual body lotion and skip the oil.
The size of the bottle and the price are nice. Other than that, it sucks.

Given that the Angelina Jolie-starring film tells the Sleeping Beauty legend from the perspective of the legendary villainess, it makes sense that they tapped someone with a taste for dark and twisted tales.

Released: 2011, Steamhammer/SPV Rating: 4.0/5 Reviewer: Erich The initial incarnation of Sweden's Fullforce began in 2008 and involved a few lineup changes before settling on the current lineup in 2009. And what a lineup it is, boasting Mike Andersson (Cloudscape, Vocals), Stefan Elmgren (ex Hammerfall, Guitars), Anders Johansson (Hammerfall, ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Drums), CJ Grimmark (ex Narnia, Guitars) and Tommy Larsson (ex Heed, Bass). The danger with these bands is that they often end up as one –off projects, but the band has been very vocal in stating that this is a legitimate band and their dedication is focused solely on Fullforce with every intention of performing and touring live. As you might expect with this bands pedigree, the music is tight and precise melodic power metal, with hints of progressive metal and stronger elements of hard rock. Having made a name in this style of music in other bands, Fullforce will not be seen as any reinvention of the genre, which at this point is probably impossible anyway. Putting their heavy foot forward, opener "Mythomaniac" is a mid-paced, riff-centered track, with Andersson providing the melody among the chug. If you are attracted to the more traditional style of power metal in the opening track, direct yourself to "Walls of Steel" and "Bleed". To get your dose of the hard rock elements, check out "Rain", "Heart And Soul", and especially the closing track "Into The Cradle". "Into The Cradle" is probably the most compelling song on the album, with an uplifting chorus and excellent vocals from Anderssson. Finally, "Oblivion" is one of the more varied tracks that seamlessly blend all of the styles on the album with an uncomplicated and compelling rhythm. Personally, I felt the album got stronger as it went along, the first few tracks being quite decent but rather expected. The band seems to be feeling its way towards their own sound, and I get the impression they prefer to be more hard rock but cannot seem to entirely discard the power metal entirely. The guitar work is absolutely perfect, not particularly heavy but bright and clear. Anders varies the drums, but there is still a bit too much double bass when frankly none of these songs are fast enough to warrant it. The bass is solid but unremarkable, the lost art of the bass doing more than just following the guitars in metal almost complete, so Fullforce is no different than any other band in how they use the bass guitar. From a production viewpoint, Fullforce delivers a solid and strong album that is unlikely to blow anybody away, but will make for an enjoyable listen for power metal and hard rock fans. I sure hope that the band continues and puts out a second album, because it will be curious to see if they embrace more hard rock or become more pummeling. Time will tell, but for now we have a fine album on our hands from a promising new band. ONE will be released in the US/Canada on July 26th, 2011 and is already available in the rest of the world. Note: If you purchase the album on Itunes it comes with a bonus track not available on the CD called "Best Of Times."

As to contacts here...I will talk to anyone. Maybe I can teach them something.
