The detective who shot and killed Christopher Tavares, who an hour earlier shot a Pueblo Police Officer, has been named.
Pueblo Police Detective James Olonia is an eleven year veteran with the Pueblo Police Department. He has worked in patrol and is currently assigned as a crimes against persons Detective.
Olonia was called in to investigate the crime of an officer being shot that took place in the 800 block of Craig. As he drove through the area of Hwy. 50 West and Elizabeth he observed a male, later identified as Tavares, acting unusual in the median of Hwy. 50 West. Olonia attempted to make contact with Tavares, who refused to stop. Tavares ignored the commands being given by Detective Olonia and began to reach into his clothing, looking for an item. The incident ended with Tavares being shot and later pronounced dead. A gun was recovered in the area where Tavares fell.
Olonia is on routine administrative leave. The investigation is still ongoing and is being conducted by Pueblo's Critical Incident Team.

Budget flight fee-fighting
Cut costs on Ryanair, Easyjet and more

For all the latest deals, guides and loopholes - join the 10m who get it. Don't miss out
Budget airlines' prices miss out pricey 'extras' such as taking baggage and even checking in. Whether its Ryanair, Easyjet, Flybe or others, we've 20 tips to keep flying costs to a minimum.
Budget airlines' prices miss out pricey 'extras' such as taking baggage and even checking in. Even so, learn to get over these hurdles and you can pay £30-ish per return.
Whether its Ryanair, Easyjet, Flybe or others, we've 20 tips to keep flying costs to a minimum. This guide will train you how to fly hand luggage only, beat check-in fees, wear your baggage and more.
Speedily find the cheapest tickets
Budget airlines take huge adverts out for £20 or half price sales, yet these flights are tough to find. Our Budget Airline FlightChecker is designed to crack this.
£30 returns are possible - if you know what you're doing
Budget airlines can sell flights for minuscule prices because that's all you're paying for: a flight. First check the price includes standard charges such as airport fees and air passenger duty. Most of them do, but never assume.
Fly hand-luggage only
If you want to stow luggage in the hold, you can pay up to £150 per case return (more in extreme cases). Plus budget airlines' weight allowances for checked-in cases can be lower than elsewhere at 15kg to 20kg.
Wear your baggage
Use your home scales. If you're near the hand luggage weight limit, stuff socks and undies in to your jacket, then stow it under your seat on the plane.

Watch MSE Rose's top hand-luggage only packing tips
Above we explained budget airlines' hand luggage allowances. But to really push it to the max, watch this top packing tips video from our own MSE Rose, who has tons of experience flying on budget airlines.
Always book hold luggage in advance
Its much cheaper to book cases stowed in the hold online in advance rather than at the airport, so decent planning is important. Think carefully about minimising the number of cases you need to take.
Beat check-in fees
It's usually free to check in online, but forget and you can be charged a fee of up to £140 per person, per return to do it at the airport.
Don't assume budget airlines are cheapest
If you've specific dates in mind, are going further afield, or there's no budget airline sale, check for the cheapest flights via comparison websites. Our top picks are Skyscanner* for ease, TravelSupermarket* breadth and Kayak* gizmos. But remember to always check a few sites and compare the prices against going direct.
Think carefully about how you pay
You used to be able to tool up with niche payment cards to avoid some admin fees. Since the OFT announced that airlines must display debit card prices, admin fees are pretty similar however you pay.
Take a plane picnic
Budget airlines make extra cash by flogging snacks to hungry flyers at sky-high prices. A splurge on airline snacks could easily undo the savings on your ticket.
Beware budget airline baby fees
Baby on board? Budget airlines charge as much as £60 per return to take a tot under two on your lap. If that's you, it's worth comparing budget airline fees against other carriers to see if they'd be cheaper. See Cheap Flights for top pick flight comparisons.
Watch for auto-insurance
Some airlines pre-tick an insurance box, automatically adding travel insurance. One to be careful of is Ryanair. It doesn't automatically include insurance, but you still need to be careful.
Flight delayed in last six years? £100s in compensation possible
Whether the flight was last week, or six years ago, EU rules mean if youre delayed over three hours or your flight is cancelled, youre often entitled to £190-£480 per person in compensation.
See the Flight Delays Compensation guide for full step-by-step help.
Sit together without paying more
Budget airlines often charge to book specific seats or jump the queue at the gate so you board first. These are generally short-haul flights lasting a few hours, so unless you've kids, sitting separately's not the end of the world.
Hostels: Dirt-cheap, not dirty
For a budget room to go with your budget flight, hostels can offer massive savings over hotel prices. Dont think dodgy smelly dorms. Many are clean, have private rooms available and breakfast.
Avoid a 70-mile trek into town
Budget flights can touch down in airports some distance from the city centre and means you'll have to pay to transfer to your real destination.
Combine one-way budget flights with Avios
If you are an Avios (formerly Air Miles) collector, our 30 Avios Points Boosters can help you push it to the max.
Treble-check details when booking
Typos, mistakes and wrong dates can cost large on budget airlines, so treble-check everything before submitting.
Beware high cost helplines
Budget airlines' premium rate helplines can cost up to 77p per minute (Wizz Air), so long customer service calls will start to eat into your cost savings.
Never wait until the airport for foreign cash
You're a captive customer at an airport or ferry terminal, so you'll probably be lumbered with the worst rates.
Check fees before bringing buggies and car seats
If you're doing a budget flight with young kids in tow, check how much equipment you're allowed to check in, as allowances vary.
Always book cheap airport parking
Airports often make more from parking and shopping than planes. Leave the car without pre-booking and you risk sky-high rates, so don't just turn up. Booking first, even on the day, could save money. See the Cheap Airport Parking guide for the full technique, plus safety tips, how to grab hidden local discounts and more.

I love this rug it is plush and cozy a perfect addition to our re-modeled bedroom. The dogs really love snoozing on it. I would recommend this rug.
I was apprehensive when I purchased this rug because I am so used to seeing my wood floors bare, but I wanted to add some warmth to my living room. When I first placed it down, I wasn't sure I liked it because of what I was used to seeing. However, after ensuring it was centered (I'm a bit OCD) and the coffee table centered, I fell in love. It looks absolutely amazing with the dark furniture. And, the feel is wonderful! It is nice and thick & feels wonderful underfoot. I love that I can walk on it and not leave footprints! There was no smell after unwrapping (packaging, as usual with Overstock) was very good. It rolled out nicely. Understandably, the corners were upturned a bit, but all I did was roll them under for a few minutes and it lays perfectly flat. Trust me on this one; this is a great rug at a great price!
The rug looks nice, but it is too shaggy for even the "high carpet" setting on my vacuum. The threads get sucked into the machine and get stuck long enough to fray and unravel. Unfortunately, I do not have a vacuum setting that will disable the beater bar so I fear it is just a matter of time before the whole rug looks fuzzy.
Got this for my son so he can lay on his floor and play games and do homework. He loves it.
Love it, bought two. Have on in family room and dining room. I would say the only bad thing is vacuuming it. It is so deep that it is a little hard to get a vacume over but I love the look of the shag.
As pictured. Nice rug for the price.
I removed the carpet from my bedroom hardwood floors. This beige color is pretty against the dark wood, and adds a contrast of color to the floor. The quality if good, and it is comfortable under foot.
Soft, thick! What better to say about a rug? I have had great compliments on it. Super, super price!!
This rug is comfy and beautiful. I'm a fan of this maker as well.
If you can get past the smell of this carpet the first 2 weeks, it ends up being a fantastic rug. If you put a good rug pad underneath, it's great to lay on...but be prepared...when you unroll it, there is a strong chemical smell.

What do Pink Floyd and yoga have in common? For one thing, Pink Floyd's musical themes are consistently concerned with our need for compassionate connections with others and of how the alienation that results from the absence of connection – the absence of yoga – drives us crazy. In the absence of compassionate connections walls get built, dogs help pigs take over the world, and the moon turns to the dark side: a description of Kali Yuga, the times in which we live as described in yoga wisdom texts. In fact, 'Time' itself, and our race against it when we forget our eternal spiritual nature, feature prominently Floyd's repertoire.

We've reviewed the 4 megapixel - or UltraPixel - HTC One as a standalone camera previously - or thought we had.
Somewhat confusingly for the non-smartphone specialist it transpires there are different versions of the device doing the rounds, including a Google Play edition - so there's more than one, um, One.
It's the standard retail edition we're taking a look at here. While all the core camera specifications (pixel count, lens aperture and so on) are shared between the One's various incarnations, the user interface (which we'll come to in a couple of paragraphs), differs.
Like the LG G2, the HTC One has a gently curved backplate rather than a completely flat design, the metal finish to our review sample more obviously iPhone-like than the LG. The screen is marginally shorter at its longer edge - 4.7-inches - while the handset is narrower.
Its main camera element is also located dead-center near the top of the handset, when held vertically, giving it a pleasingly symmetrical look. But by being further away from the edge of the phone than its LG rival, we found it easier to avoid fingertips straying in front of the lens in the process of gripping the One.
Once you've set the phone up the familiar camera icon is immediately visible bottom right of screen as part of a clean looking toolbar running along the bottom.
Drag this icon upwards to select it and the camera mode bursts into life, displaying the image before our lens in full screen width - there's only the ability to capture shots in widescreen ratio on the HTC One, no alternative 4:3, 3:2 or 1:1 ratio options - the camera's AF automatically and visibly adjusting focus and exposure as you pan with the handset around the room or scene.
The user interface here appears pretty simplistic and operation is all the better for that fact. You get camera mode and video mode icons side by side, bottom center of screen.
Pre-captured images are displayed as stacked thumbnails to the right of these two 'buttons', while a comprehensive, 16-strong array of built-in digital filters can be selected to the left.
Included here are the usual vivid colour or black and white or sepia options, along with a fish eye effect, film negative and toy camera looks. Rather than a virtual shutter release button being provided, you simply tap the camera icon to take a shot or the video one to begin recording. It's that intuitive.
Just above this quartet of virtual buttons is an on-screen slider for controlling the digital zoom. Run a finger across to enable the smartphone to ape 'zooming' in or out, the response to your finger swipe pretty much in real time.
At the top of the screen if holding the HTC One upright in portrait fashion, or on the left if turning it on its side to shoot landscape ratio, are a means of selecting flash modes - either auto flash, flash off or flash on - activate HTC's 'Zoe' mode - plus, to the far left (or very bottom) a welcome shooting menu.
Here you get a series of straightforward still image capture choices: normal scene recognising auto mode (the default setting), a night shooting mode plus HDR and sweep panorama mode. Video capture options enable us to select from slow motion, fast HD at 60 frames per second or Video HDR mode at Full HD (1920x1080 pixels) resolution.
Impressively, further image adjustments can be made using a row of +/- 2EV sliders for exposure, contrast, colour saturation and sharpness, which is more than most handsets offer.
Face detection, smile capture and the ability to geotag images with location data can also be activated at will from the same menu.
User-selectable ISO settings for low-light photography run from a standard ISO100 to ISO1600. Like its predecessor in the HTC One X the One features a bright/fast aperture lens at f/2, with the lens itself offering a 28mm wide focal length. The bright f/2 lens serves the HTC One well when shooting indoors using natural light.
If there's a USP to the HTC One, it's that it fudges the issue of pixel count, defying the usual convention that suggests more is… well, more when it comes to image quality. HTC refers to the resolution of the HTC's core/main camera in accompanying literature as UltraPixel - a term that sounds zeitgeist-y but is basically meaningless.
At first then this seems like an attempt to cover up an otherwise modest-sounding four megapixel camera. But in the world of dedicated cameras, pixel count isn't everything of course: sensor size also has a role to play, and here it's a larger-than-most 1/3-inch which results in improved low-light snaps.
There's a front-facing camera too, offering a 2.1 megapixel resolution, as opposed to the previous X model's 1.3MP. Other features that will flick on a lightbulb in the head of photo enthusiasts are a back side illuminated sensor, HDR facility for video as well as stills, plus optical image stabilisation to avoid hand wobble resulting in blurred shots.
A newish gimmick on this model is what's often, on digital compact cameras at least, referred to as "motion snapshot." Here it's given the less immediately obvious moniker of HTC Zoe.
Press the shutter and the HTC One automatically captures up to 20 photos plus three-second duration video, leading its manufacturer to claim to produce a picture that's "alive," or at least one that tells the story more fully by mixing media.
These video highlights are a neat addition, although not strictly part of a photography test - if you're more interested in capturing memories than beautiful scenes, the highlights option is an excellent choice.
A further plus is that the HTC's screen is much brighter and clearer than many dedicated digital cameras on the market. It really picks up fine detail, which is a bonus, as is the fact that the image before the lens fills the whole screen in widescreen format, meaning it feels best suited to group portraits or landscape shots.
Fun factor
Aside from offering 16 digital effects that are automatically applied to shots at the point of capture, there's an almost as comprehensive 13-strong array that can be applied when playing back images, including the no-brainer "auto enhance" option.
Upping the fun factor further, there's a range of frames that can be added to the image, such as a distressed edge grunge effect, or a montage of Polaroid style snaps. A certain amount of editing (such as cropping, straightening or rotating) can also be performed within the handset itself.
More impressively still there is a wide array of image retouching options offered, such as the ability to smooth skin or enhance the eyes in portraits; the sort of effects that once required a dedicated software package to achieve.
Again when viewed at 100% on a desktop, subject outlines begin to appear pixellated, and colors are a little less saturated than they appear to the naked eye at the point of capture.
Daylight images would benefit from a tad more brightness and contrast, and an interior still life shot could use an application of one of the HTC's built-in filters.
An application of the HDR option helps to pull detail from what would otherwise be blown out highlights in an image, while maintaining details in shadow areas, so is a feature worth having.
A slightly de-saturated look to images straight out of the phone does mean that skin tones look a little more subtle too.
While low light performance is enhanced through the addition the additional Ultrapixel technology, in short it is a fairly mixed bag in terms of the HTC's image quality when used across an expanded range of subjects.
Pros: The coolly curved shape and design of the phone means it feels comfortable in the palm, and screen resolution is razor sharp, so images displayed look fantastic. Larger pixels also mean better low light performance and improved dynamic range.
Cons: Despite the sensor surface area and UltraPixel claims, a four megapixel camera feels distinctly underpowered in today's multi-megapixel handset market. Limited to 16:9 ratio shots at full resolution, and the mainstream version lacks a microSD card slot.

My best friend, the one I'm in love with, has been much cooler he's been really understanding and we were getting really close again but then he started hinting about being bisexual again, even telling me about a dream he had where he made out with Dave Grahl from the Foo Fighters. I asked him if he'd be oh-so-gracious and let me give him, you know, oral-pleasures. I told him even if he was straight, it'd still be fun. He didn't think so, and he got freaked out again (pissed actually). As of now, though, he's getting more comfortable around me again. It seems he's comfortable with homosexuality as long as it's not directed toward him. A confusing lad, no? I wish I wasn't in love with him There's so many other people out there I could be having relationships with, but I'd loose time with him, and I'd rather sleep over his house with my eyes lovingly fixed at his toe that's sticking out of the blanket.
I've been watching him hit on this girl it's sad. It makes me nauseous. He tells me all about it, and I give my best fake smile and a less-then-half-hearted "Great ".
Sexuality is so confusing . This girl that he's hitting on, she's about as masculine as he is. I don't get it at all I wonder how he'd react if in the middle of hitting on her, as he's all horny, he found out she had a penis or something. What difference should it make?
People are so anal
I just want to tell everyone what I think (I'm not out of the closet yet) and scream at them all but I'm afraid that my friend's parents won't let us hang out any more, not to mention all the rumors that would be spread about him if I come out He'd never want to stay over the faggot's house again . And, for some strange reason, our asexual-self-defeating-dysfunctional relationship is more important to me then any boyfriend or girlfriend I can foresee in the immediate future.
Well, that's about all for me, I hope I didn't bore you too much .
Until next month,
Len Smith

Still haven't had a chance to drop by the place in Long Beach, but will try when I can.
Target you mentioned West Sytems and 410. Only knowing that one is a resin and the other a filler, I'm wondering if what I have is at all comparable. I have US Composites 635 thin epoxy resin and some topflite microballons. Is this at all similar and applicable for small dents and surface inconsistencies? -Jonathan ImagesView all Images in thread

Been using Icing for a while now and it seems to work really well. It is a little thicker in consistency then I like, but it drys fast and is somewhat easy to sand.
I started using Dolphin Glaze as a final fill over the Icing and it seems to be better than the Icing. It is way less as thick as the Icing and drys just as fast. It feathers a bit better than the Icing, but still not perfect. I just bought a new tube of Icing or I would have bought some more Dolphin Glaze. I might try the Superfill for the finish coat on the next project to see how it feathers out. Scotty ImagesView all Images in thread

Well I used my Frankenspeedo project as a test guinea pig for my first mix of resin/microballoons. I'm glad I did as the mixture I made was probably not thick enough. I got it to a whipped cream like texture but when left to set it would droop/creep a bit and so next time I will aim for peanut butter like thickness. I still plan on picking up some split second when I get a chance, but so far I haven't been able to make it to the shop in LB or find one slightly more local that had it. (maybe I should just purchase online )

".. I got it to a whipped cream like texture but when left to set it would droop/creep a bit and so next time I will aim for peanut butter like thickness." ..Thanks for the thread..it gives me some ideas to try. I've had some recent success with "Cabosil"... a thickening agent.. which when mixed with epoxy in the 'peanut butter' consistency will let the mix stick to a vertical wall without moving or running. It smooths very nicely with a slanted razor blade edge, used like a wiper, ..which gives minimum sanding effort due to very fine feathering.. but as mentioned above.. you are sanding more epoxy. Perhaps a micro-balloons or other filler included in the mix would make the final edging better. The "dolphin glaze" finish on Scotty's 5th pic looks just like a perfect fix.. Dunno if this will help.. just what I have experienced Ray |

Works on pin size holes...the essence of the matter is selecting two or three compounds intended for different applications and knowing when to use them.
But more important is learning well what each product does the best job for you in the shortest lapse of time. BTW 320 grit is as fine as you need to go for primer and final, any finer you risk poor adhesion of subsequent coatings. Experiment and learn. |

Hey, what better way is there to take a break from a long study night than griping about the Yanks' fifth loss in a row? (Actually, don't answer that.)
Judging from the comments to M.A. Mehta's game recap, you'd think these Yankees are 3-25, not 13-15.
Just a few thoughts:
* Probably like everyone else, I'm really, really curious to see how A-Rod does. Yes, in part for his 2009 debut tomorrow -- but I won't be as captivated tomorrow as much as I will be to see how he reacts to the massive amounts of vitriol he'll deal with on the road. If he thought it was bad before, it's only going to get worse.
* In the offseason, the Yankees will have to consider adjusting the outfield fences (and thus, the outfield seats). Whether it's the way the wind is acting in the new park, or the short-ish porch in right, something's gotta give. I'm all for a thrilling home run, but losing to six of them? That's actually boring.
* This may be perspective most of you don't want to hear, but even if the Yanks stay under .500 the whole season, I still think they're wildly entertaining to follow.
Okay, so this gripe session wasn't nearly as substantive as I wanted it to be. Still, you get the point. (1) The team stinks right now; (2) they're not as bad as they look; (3) A-Rod's coming back; and (4) I still find them as enthralling as ever. Hopefully you do too, even despite the unsightly fourth-place record...

It was announced last evening at Tate Britain that the winner of this year's £25,000 Turner Prize is Simon Starling. Starling delights in the processes of transformation and many of his works are in fact transformations or journeys. Shedboatshed is a fine example of the type of circularity produced by Starling. He took apart a shed to build a boat and whatever he did not use, he loaded up into the 'new' boat and paddled it along the Rhine. When Starling reached Basel he re-built the boat into a shed. Another work, Tabernas Desert Run, was the journey across a Spanish desert on a bicycle powered by fuel cells. The bike produced water as waste product which Staring subsequently used to paint a watercolour of a cactus.

Same differences or different similarities?
I had a short yet interesting conversation with one of my Facebook friends last week. She is more than just a "Facebook" friend. I know she is an actual living breathing human. Anyhow…
The conversation was about the difference between our respective churches and they style of worship each uses. She is an Orthodox Presbyterian and I am a AOG Pentecostal. Opposite sides of the spectrum to be sure. What I took away from the short talk really had nothing to do with P&W choruses or doctrinally based denominationally-sanctioned hymns. Far from it.
I once again realized how different and how diverse we are in the Body of Christ. We all have our preferences in music, formal or casual dress, lighting, delivery, decor, and on and on and on. We often divide and splinter over these trivial subjects. These things in the end really don't matter as much as we think they do.
I am not going so far as to say our strength is in our diversity. (I will leave that to former President Clinton.) But I think if we look a little deeper than our differences, we will find we are much more similar than we think. After all, we are in the same Family.
Early Church Father Constantine is often credited with the quote, "In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity." Whether he actually said it or not, someone came up with a winner. Love conquers all. Even our differences.

A giant stinging nettles bush climbs up the side of the little red barn in my backyard. Although we've been in this house for 9 years, it's taken me half that time to pay any mind to it.

SurreptitionAfter the locksmith had been and gone, Giovanni woke up and demanded food. He looked flushed and bizarrely annoyed, ever after Saffron had promised to prepare a meal. "You could just go home," she said, sending me a careful Look. I pretended not to notice it, especially since I had almost no idea what it was for. Giovanni's mouth drooped in an offended pout. He walked around and stood behind me, then draped himself over my shoulders so heavily that I had to grab his arms to keep myself from falling down."Pundit needs me," he said, not quite whining, but close. "What if he collapses again?"I failed to push him off. "I'm not going to collapse. Stop being so dramatic." He just kissed my head and stayed where and as he was.For a second, I forgot about everything but my immediate discomfort. My head ached, my body was thoroughly sore and weak in a cold, dampish way, my stomach an
Vesi Vanhin Voitehista 11Curls brushed his ear, he could feel the tickling curve to his captor's hair. "Who""Oh, come on, ducks. I expected you to be clever." The arm loosened slightly and the voice dropped in pitch. "Don't disappoint me now.""Benjamin?"The arms dropped away from him, leaving him free to jump to his feet and generally give in to alarm. There, lounging on the fitting room bench, was Benjamin Barrett, just as casually wicked as he had initially appeared, presenting a happily enigmatic image. "Well done. There is hope for you after all."Taivuttaa reached for the lock switch, but a gust of warm air knocked his hand back. "What do you want?" he asked, keeping a wary peripheral eye on Benjamin, an easy task in the intimately enclosed space. "You keep talking like you've known about me for ages, but I have no idea who you are. All I know is that you make Novi nervous and you have a
Contra-Bandy ch20It wasn't the same anymore. Nothing ever was, that was just how time worked, but it felt unfair just then. I stared out at the duck pond and pretended I couldn't hear the crunch and squeak of grass submitting to rubber-soled shoes. It was always colder near water, even when it shouldn't have been. I remembered my first trip to California with my mother, one of the things that she had kept out of writing. She'd told me she had, when I was older, and I remembered the actual moment when I had asked her why not."Some things are so important that you need to hold them close," she'd said. For some reason, she'd been holding a rubber duck. This was odd because my memory was quite firmly certain that we had been washing dishes together. "You should only share them with your voice, sweetie."I shivered and rubbed my arms. "They didn't tell me until she went to the hospital," I said. Sh
If the Poetry is SufficientIt was amazing how fast Giovanni fell asleep after saying something like that. I was sure I would never sleep again, and it certainly didn't help that he was clinging to me like ink on a letter. After he'd gone still, and his breathing was well beyond the realm of faking sleep, I lifted his arms off of me and wriggled out of the bed. He actually grumbled in his sleep, which didn't improve the tremors skating on my nerves, but I managed to stand up.My hands felt like they were vibrating, and my legs were worse. A thick chill wrapped itself around my bones and freckled into my skin like shrapnel, wrestling a sneeze from me immediately after I'd taken a step away from the bed. I made a face, trying not to look at my hand. Tissue.There was a box of them on the nightstand. They were a little dusty, but in my current state, I only cared that they were dry. Ugh, there was no way to avoid looking at it.
Vesi Vanhin Voitehista 10The rest of the day was quiet. Taivuttaa felt this could be safely attributed to the long nap he had collapsed into soon after returning to the office, but he didn't want to trust any assumptions just yet. Harsh light from the streetlamp outside his window cut through the blinds and striated a square section of the carpet. He sat on the edge of the bed and tapped his foot, watching the grains of the carpet brush against the vibrant white and grey of the sock. It wasn't very late, in spite of the streetlamp. He looked up at the door and half-expected to hear a knock.Novi had mentioned back-logging paperwork and the door to his own room being open, but Taivuttaa wasn't sure if he should take it as an invitation or leave the man alone until morning. He'd never spent so much time out of the sphere of Algorithm's annoyed guardianship. On the one hand, he didn't want to worry about it, but on the other, he worried
Buckley's Chance_Level 8The old bag was sipping a tea and something surreptitious stirred in, creaking as she continued to age in the comfy chair my father usually camped in. He was standing at her side like a triumphant soldier at the end of a particularly bloody war, just smiling at everyone. He was happy, because he could play make-believe as long as Gran was around.As for my mother, she and Gran had never got on wellofficially they had a relationship based on approval and acceptance from Gran, and respect and a bit of obedience from my mother, but they really were not what anyone would call 'friends'.When my father took trips by himself, my mom would stay home with me for a little while and complain about him and his mother. Those were the companionable times she and I both loved openly, but they were shorter than I liked.I poured her a cup of the coffee that she and I were passing off as Earl Grey. It helped that we were on the opposite side of the roo
Buckley's Chance_Level 7Three days. No matter what I did, at the back and sometimes forefront of my mind, I was still standing on the porch watching that stupid Carebear sticker on the rear window of the car as Squid crawled back to his damn parents. What good was it being lucky enough to be attracted to a nice decent person if he was just going to ditch me in the name of being decent?I could even see myself standing there pathetically upright and not punching anything at all. I hated feeling like such a total milksop, and it was even worse when I started acting like one. It was three damn days and I still slept on the living room couch, with the phone near my soft, squishy, damp head.The knock on the door had gone unanswered for those three days, which meant it was four days since I'd even seen Jussi. That was how screwed up I'd gotten, and it was stupid. If he didn't call to ask what the hell was wrong with me, then I would have to c
Buckley's Chance_Level 6Okay. Right. Let's just find our footing here, Self. For a few seconds, I just ran on automatic. Somebody I had begun to like rather a lot was kissing me. And even more surprising, he was more than a little good at it. I backed up until I found the wall, then slumped against it to equalize the difference in our heights. He didn't seem to think it was a problem. He just held on to me a little desperately and asserted himself. He was even smiling as much as this kind of activity allowed.Automatic accounted for a lot of activity. I grabbed the first bits of his clothing that I could reach in a hurry and yanked him as close to me as I could get him without breaking any physical laws. He let out a squeaky gasp, which opened the way for a new level of automatic advantage on my part.He obviously knew more about what he was doing than I would have given him credit, but dr

Royals beat Indians, 4-1, get sweep
Published on -6/12/2014, 10:17 AM

E-Mail This Story
By MARLA RIDENOUR
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Wednesday afternoon marked one of Trevor Bauer's strangest outings as an Indians starter, and it had nothing to do with the right-hander's eccentricities.
Strikeouts eluded him as he struck out only one. He gave up three sacrifice flies as the Royals equaled a franchise record with four in a 4-1 victory over the Tribe at Kauffman Stadium.
In the third inning, Bauer cut off Mike Aviles' throw home from shortstop on a ball Aviles lost in the sun, Bauer's wild relay going high as the Royals scored their second run.
Bauer capped it off with a curt exchange with a Kansas City radio reporter trying to find out what went wrong in Bauer's 5.1 innings.
"What bothers you most about this loss?" the man asked Bauer.
"That we lost," Bauer responded.
"The story behind it from your perspective," the reporter suggested.
"The team lost."
"Can you elaborate?"
"We lost 4-1. Next question."
Fans may have been just as nonplussed by the Indians' effort. But the Indians loaded the bases with none out in the eighth against Royals right-hander Wade Davis. Indians manager Terry Francona said that was no small feat, considering the reliever has now given up just 13 hits (including singles by Michael Bourn and Michael Brantley sandwiched around a Lonnie Chisenhall walk) and struck out 48 in 29 1/3 innings.
But the heart of the order failed the Tribe. Jason Kipnis struck out looking, Carlos Santana swinging and David Murphy, the Indians' leading hitter with runners in scoring position, grounded out to second.
The Royals swept the two-game series -- their first against the Indians at home since April 4-5, 2003 -- and dropped the Tribe back to .500 (33-33). The Indians, winners of nine of their last 12, headed to Boston for a four-game series that opens today.
The most unusual moment of the day came in the third inning. With one out, one run home and Alcides Escobar on third base, Omar Infante hit a high pop to Aviles at short. He caught it as he landed on his rear end, but Escobar still tagged up.
"It was one of those balls that as soon as it went up I was like, 'I got it. I got it,'" said Aviles, who was wearing sunglasses. "Then it's in the sun. I did my best job of trying to secure the ball. I had to go down; if I stayed standing up that ball was going to drop.
"Hopefully the sun could move a little. If you had more time you could turn the other way.
"While I'm on the ground, I thought it was a heads-up play on their part to take off. At the last second I was sitting there saying, 'I put the glove where I thought the ball would be because I didn't really see it until I felt it go in my glove.' I threw it in the direction of home plate. Bauer cut it off, he was in direct line to the plate. When he turned around I don't know if he knew how far he was from home."
Asked if he might have gotten Escobar if Bauer didn't intervene, Aviles said: "I think it gets to the plate. I don't know if it gets him out. I threw it from my butt and I didn't have anything behind it. I figured if I throw it in the direction of home, maybe (Escobar) stops."
Bauer wasn't sure, either.
"I never should have been in that position, anyway," Bauer said of the cutoff. "That's my fault on that. I should have just put (him) away."

You won't be disappointed. The pricing is fair, performance is excellent, and at least from my experience they are very durable. My original Patriot XPorter Boost flash drives have an even longer durability and track record. They have been to about every corner of the US, to Turkey, Canada, Brazil and Mexico.

A few days ago, I posted a message on Twitter from a BroBible reader that I received a few months ago. It came to me on Facebook, landed in my "other messages" folder (never knew that existed) and I didn't discover/read until Friday. Due to Twitter's character restrictions I had to shorten it, but in its entirety it read, "Hi there, I read your story about rub and tug in New York. I am going to New York at the end of the month I was wondering if you could share the location ? I've never been to one."
After posting that to Twitter, another loyal BroBible reader dropped RubMaps.com into the message thread. It is "apparently" exactly what it sounds like: a place to find an erotic massage nearest you at any given time. And since I'm not a monster, I had to share it with those of you who never knew such a resource existed.

Important Meetings: In-Person or customized mlb jerseys Virtual?
PRDTNX0w2lw6Ff2 cheap stitched NFL jerseys
By Joanne Ireland, President of Ireland Presentations
We've all heard it said that there is no chicago blackhawks jerseys cheap substitute for meeting someone face-to-face. But to hear web conferencing companies talk, you'd think that advice steelers mike wallace jersey had flown out the window. In-person or impersonal?? What's black new york giants jersey the truth? Does it make sense to meet in person anymore? Or, will all future meetings take place on-screen? Is there a way to determine whether a meeting should take place in?person vs. on the Web? What are the tradeoffs?
We've done many meetings of both kinds, and want to help you make the right choice. Which type of meeting is right for you, right for the person or group you are meeting with or right for the subject and circumstances? The following information spells out the benefits of each approach, with explanation that will help you determine which method to choose for your next meeting.? Will it be face-to-face or just a voice on the end of a phone line?
First a few words about web conferencing. This toronto maple leafs vs new jersey devils technology continually strives to reach the same level of intimacy and new NFL nike ouyddeErETbrbzl user experience as an in-person meeting, through a variety of methods. Most tools work in a similar fashion: The person initiating the conference sets up a meeting in the tool (after having downloaded and installed any required software) and then invites participants to join by sending an email with pertinent information including login instructions. The attendees then download any software necessary, and login at the appropriate white tim tebow jersey time.? The initiator shares his or nhl jersey customization her screen, and, using a teleconferencing capability via a telephone, ensures that the presenter's voice can be heard, therefore utilizing both the computer screen and telephone. There NFL replica jersey is often a chat capability, enabling participants to ask questions during the presentation, by sending questions to the moderator of the meeting via instant messaging.? Questions are then usually answered by the presenter to the whole group. ?The entire web conference can be recorded for later playback.
Web Conference Meetings
Web Benefit 1 ? Cost savings
If your colleagues or your audience are located in a distant location, an in-person meeting can be impractical, inefficient and costly.

Bangkok, Thailand - A week after losing in the early rounds here in Thailand, Maria Sharapova has confided in The Spoof's Sports an exclusive story. Her early round losses at Wimbledon and now the U.S. Open were not due to her abilities waining, but because of her pining for something she cannot have, Michael Jackson.
"I know its silly," said Maria, "But he's so cute when he acts like he's effeminate. I just wish there were some way the little pervert would...notice me. I know he has shady past and all that, but surely he's not that perverted, he was so cute when he was young!"
We asked her what she would say to Michael if he responded to this article. "I'm sure he won't, he's too shy and besides, I'm certain Dad would never let him near me, but I do hope at some level he at least will know I care. Oh hell I might well say it! I want Michael Jackson's babies! There now are you satisfied!"
Maria then shrieked something at us in Russian and the interview was over.

" @hitsusatsu11: I don't think that power levels are linear because if we went by that logic, someone with a power level of 5 or 10 could bust mountains.Yes but while a normal human may have a powerlevel of 4 or 5, they posses no ki control and no way to concentrate their ki into a beam or their physical attacks, but certainly everyone in DBU has some considerable spirit, at least enough to contribute to the Genkidama.
Also Yamucha and Goku with a powerlevel of like 6 were able to punch through cement, knock people through tree's and stuff, tank bullets, lift larger objects then normal folks could and survive fairly long falls.
While roshi was able to destroy the moon, it did seem to take some effort for him to bust the ox king's mountain and his power level was something around 120 or 130? "Well he was rusty on the use of his beam, and just intended to put out the fire with the kamehameha leaving the mountain and castle in tact. He accidentally used to much power and the mountain was destroyed.

FROM THE DIRECTORBalz Frei, Ph.D. |
The Linus Pauling Institute continues to expand its Healthy Aging Program with the recent recruitment of Dr. Adrian "Fritz" Gombart, who joined us in September from the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Gombart holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Biology and Genetics, respectively, from Oregon State University, and a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Gombart will work closely with Dr. Tory Hagen, director of LPI's Healthy Aging Program and recently endowed Jamieson Chair in Healthspan Research. Dr. Gombart's research program focuses on understanding the role of vitamin D in innate immunity and immunosenescence. He also has done work on vitamin A and has a general interest in the biological mechanisms affecting the immune system and its decline during aging. On behalf of all of us at LPI, a warm welcome to Dr. Gombart and his family!
We are also getting ready for our fifth LPI conference on "Diet and Optimum Health," which will be held in May 2009 in Portland, Oregon. As in previous years, the conference will emphasize dietary and lifestyle approaches to improving human health and preventing or treating disease, including dietary supplements, micronutrients, and phytochemicals; and the role of oxidative stress and dietary antioxidants in human health and disease. In addition to the LPI Prize for Health Research and a public session by Dr. Marion Nestle from New York University on "What to eat?," the program features scientific sessions on metabolic syndrome, healthy aging, immune function, epigenetics, and vitamin K.
Finally, two intriguing scientific articles were published recently, and picked up by the popular press, on the role of vitamin C in cancer therapy, a topic of great interest to us. The first was a paper in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (PNAS), by the group of Dr. Mark Levine at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health. They showed that intraperitoneal injection (into the abdominal cavity) of large, "pharmacologic doses" of vitamin C into mice decreased by about half the growth and weight of human, rat, and mouse tumor xenografts (implanted cancer cells growing into tumors). This work followed a number of publications by the same group showing that millimolar concentrations of extracellular vitamin C in the fluid surrounding cells and tissues kill cancer cells but not normal cells by a pro-oxidant mechanism, involving the production of hydrogen peroxide by vitamin C and a yet-to-be-identified metalloprotein. Interestingly, such millimolar concentrations of vitamin C can be achieved in humans only by intravenous infusion, not by diet or oral vitamin C supplementation. This finding may explain the discrepant results by Drs. Linus Pauling and Ewan Cameron in the 1970s, showing that intravenous vitamin C is of substantial benefit in terminal cancer patients, and the "repeat" of those studies at the Mayo Clinic published in 1979 and 1985, which used only oral vitamin C and did not find a benefit in cancer patients. The Editor-in-Chief of PNAS invited me to write a commentary on Dr. Levine's paper, in which Stephen Lawson and I concluded that the new data provide a compelling rationale for revisiting the still-controversial issue of vitamin C and cancer and that the potential anticancer value of vitamin C should be vigorously pursued in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of high-dose intravenous vitamin C.
The second study was published in a leading cancer journal, Cancer Research, by Dr. Mark Heaney's group at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. The paper carried the rather alarmist title "Vitamin C antagonizes the cytotoxic effects of antineoplastic drugs." A closer look at this paper reveals that they did not use vitamin C in any of their experiments but instead used its oxidized form called dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). Dehydroascorbic acid is not available as a dietary supplement, and any DHA formed in the human body by oxidation of vitamin C is quickly disposed of by known chemical and biological mechanisms. What's more, the studies by Heaney and colleagues were performed on two cancer cell lines in Petri dishes, and the single study in animals used DHA doses known to be toxic. Under these conditions, the authors found that DHA may very modestly lower the effectiveness of the anticancer drug doxorubicin. In sharp contrast, in reviewing the current scientific evidence from human studies, other researchers have concluded that the relationship between vitamin C and chemotherapy is promising in terms of increased survival times and decreased toxicity (adverse side effects) of chemotherapeutic drugs. They cautioned, however, that the interaction between vitamin C and chemotherapy or radiation therapy should be further addressed in large, well-designed, clinical studies before any conclusions can be drawn. It is likely that vitamin C, by itself or in combination with standard therapy, will show substantial benefit in the treatment of certain types of cancer.

Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Brain Responses to Food Viewing
Description of Project:
The student will be implicated into a interdisciplinary project between the Service of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (SEDM) and the EEG Brain Mapping Core of the Center for Biomedical Imaging (EEG-CIBM) that aims at determining the parallels between Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) - and its associated effects on gastric hormone levels and eating behaviour - and brain activity during the discrimination of food images. In particular, hormone blood measures will be correlated with neural responses as measured by electroencephalography (EEG) in healthy normal-weighted and obese controls without surgery, as well as in RYGB patients before and after food intake.
In obese patients with type 2 diabetes, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has proven to be highly effective in improving glucose homeostasis and results in the total reversal of diabetes in 60-90% of patients. Spontaneous food intake also decreases dramatically after RYGB, without increased hunger sensations in the patients. RYGB increases glucose homeostasis by an enhanced secretion/sensitivity of the body to several hormones (e.g. insulin, glucagon-like peptide 1 GLP-1 and the peptide PYY) and decreased secretion/insensitivity to ghrelin (Rodieux et al., 2008).
The temporo-spatial dynamics of food perception have begun to be investigated by means of electroencephalography (EEG) to allow for assertions on the temporal unfolding of food-related brain activity. Toepel et al. (2009) presented normal-weighted participants with colour photographs of foods and non-foods (i.e. kitchen utensils). The food images consisted of high-energetic and low-energetic foods. Differential responses to the high- as opposed to the low-energetic foods were observed within ~200ms after image onset and involved posterior brain areas typically associated with food and object processing. Moreover, prefrontal sites typically associated with decision-making and reward processing showed varying responses as a function of the foods` energetic values. These findings suggest a rapid treatment of nutritional properties with parallel effects in brain areas thought to mediate food and object categorization, reward assessment and food-related decisions.
Whether the speed and localization of these processes are influenced by excessive obesity, its reduction by RYGB surgery, and how they can be linked with hormonal modulations before and after food intake are currently unknown.

Come on Victor, to go as far as to say that MMA (UFC) will be more popular than soccer in Brazil??? I am Brazilian and I can assure you that this will never happen and I am fanatic about both sports but soccer is already embedded in our DNA, and it's a sport that people from 1 to 100 year old watch and I can't see that with MMA.

Very inspiring, Mr. Belfort!
Kill em All December 16, 2011
Vitor is a great spokeperson for MMA and the UFC
Axe Murderer December 16, 2011
Thats my man right there!! Run Anderson cause he's coming for you believe that.
GetSome December 16, 2011
Keep pumping roids Vitor.
tobes December 16, 2011
GetSome – you are a ridiculous hater. If you knew anything about Belfort you'd know that he's come back from tremendous adversity in his life and is a role model athlete. Honestly, there are some fighters who've taken roids that I despise, but I think Belfort was obviously going through a tough time in his life and made a mistake.
jasonfn22 December 17, 2011
The UFC has brainwashed the shit out of them even Vitor is refering to the UFC being the sport instead of a promotion.Its MMA takin over Vitor its the spread of MMA which is no holds barred fighting but they had to fabricate a name so they could call it a sport but its fist fighting with gloves just big enough to protect your wrist but I be god damn if UFC is a sport,WTF.
cigronne December 17, 2011
This is a 'high on business' Vitor Belfort speaking, it is more about uttering a wish than defining reality, we all do so when feeling very pumped and optimistic, human nature
Rio_Warrior December 17, 2011
Never will be like soccer for us but will definetely grow.
MANDINGO December 17, 2011
Belfot is talking out of his ass. Never in a million years will MMA or UFC how Vitor put it will out grow Football (soccer). Kids in brasil are born with a ball at there feet not with a gi. Plus who wants to watch two grown sweaty men in speedo trunks roll around in a cage??
KungFuLowKick December 18, 2011
We could say the same about soccer.Who wants to see 100 guys kicking a ball in massive field and never shoot on the goaler or score for 3 hours??Its all about the opinion and taste of people.Some people like physical sports and other people like to watch a sport to fall asleep. -
zagor December 18, 2011
i love both soccer and mma….and i don't see mma becoming more popular any time soon..in Brasil, that is…
