Phoenix Suns
Jermaine O'Neal: 'I feel really good'
Once upon a time, Jermaine O'Neal was one of the NBA's premier big men.
A six-time All-Star who averaged 20.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game from 2001-2007, the 17th-overall selection in the 1996 draft has had a very productive career.
It's a career many felt was near its end due to wear and tear and injuries, but the new Suns center disagrees with that idea.
"I felt a little bit run down the last few years, but I had a fantastic summer," O'Neal told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Wednesday. "Really kind of changed the body, changed the mindset.
"And I feel really good and that's the reason why I chose to come to Phoenix."
O'Neal said the reputation of Phoenix's training staff also played a role in his decision to join the Suns, and while he doesn't enter his 17th season with the same expectations and fanfare as in the past, he is confident he has plenty to offer.
Some may think differently.
O'Neal is coming off a pair of seasons in Boston that saw his scoring average dip from 13.6 in 2009-10 with the Heat to 5.4 and 5.0 with the Celtics.
The center looked more like a washed-up player than someone who was ready to make an impact. He's looking to prove that's not the case.
"I think sometimes, as athletes, we don't really keep it as honest as we should," O'Neal said. "We don't want to look into the mirror sometimes and evaluate where we're at.
"I think it was very important for me to do that. I'm not playing for any money; that's not the reason I'm playing."
Instead, O'Neal said he's playing "for respect for myself," that it does not matter what others are saying about him or his basketball skills.
So, he set out to get himself healthy and ready to play, making sure he gives himself the best possible chance to show he's still got it.
He also thinks leaving Beantown will help.
"If it doesn't go right then I know it's time," he said. "I just felt like the last two years in Boston I wasn't necessarily as happy. It wasn't a great fit for me, but more than anything I didn't work as hard as I needed to to put myself in a better position."
O'Neal said he allowed certain parts of the business to dictate how he felt, which is what he set out to address this past summer.
And once he made the decision that he "didn't want it to end like this", the choice was made to make the necessary changes to get back on the court at a high level.
"So I went back and did detox," he said. "I detoxed for a month and a half; I really just changed everything."
A rejuvenated O'Neal could pay big dividends for the Suns, as they are thin up front behind starting center Marcin Gortat. While no one is expecting a return to his All-Star form, it sounds like the center is ready to prove he's not done yet.

State unemployment rates, November 2009 to November 2010
December 27, 2010
In November, 13 states reported statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate decreases, the largest of which were in Michigan (−2.0 percentage points) and Alabama (−1.9 points).
The District of Columbia also posted a significant over-the-year unemployment rate decrease (−1.8 percentage points).
The only States that recorded significant rate increases from November 2009 to November 2010 were Colorado (+1.2 percentage points) and Utah (+0.9 percentage point).
The remaining 35 states registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier.
These data are from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program and are seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent month are preliminary. To learn more, see "Regional and State Employment and Unemployment — November 2010" (HTML) (PDF), new release USDL-10-1728.

The lacey façade was inspired by quasicrystal patterns, resulting in a white geometric shade that covers the front of the building. Spanning almost 27,00 square feet, the cleansing screen stretches across the Avenida San Fernando at the one end of the hospital. Mexico City is a densely populated, heavily trafficked city, with many older cars on the road that produce high carbon emissions, making it an ideal place to install a cleansing façade.
The ornate double skin was designed by Prosolve, and it was chosen for its anti-microbial and de-polluting properties that also create a beautiful design statement. Prosolve tiles are coated with superfine titanium dioxide, which fights pollution when activated by ambient daylight. When installed near heavy traffic or on building facades, the tiles help to neutralize emissions and other toxins, stopping them dead in their tracks. A network of the tiles not only helps to clean the air entering their host buildings, but also the air in the urban setting.
Aside from acting as an incredible urban air filter, the prosolve370e skin acts as a natural light filtration system and solar gain blocker for the interior of the Hospital Manuel Gea Gonzalez, effectively saving the hospital's energy bill for climate control and light.

Meh. ABS-based stuff painted with syperhydrophilic (soapy-feeling; that has to be killing the free radical efficiency) titania coating. No matter, since they have to recoat the facade in 5-10 years like any painted facade stuff. Does it really cut glare? 'Coz no photos are there about that.

Elizabeth Diller says that giving a tour of a building while it is still under construction feels very strange. "Architects don't often do tours in the middle of construction processes because you just feel so incredibly vulnerable," she says. "You have to explain what's not there—what's invisible."
Yet there is plenty that is visible to The Broad, the contemporary art museum that her firm—Diller Scofidio + Renfro—has designed for construction magnate and arts patron Eli Broad in Los Angeles. At street level, a gently undulating biomorphic room greets visitors in what will one day be the lobby. On the second floor, the walls that will surround the Broad's extensive archive have already materialized. And, on the top floor, a latticed web of pre-cast skylights—looking like a taut fishnet stocking—hangs over an acre of gallery space.
The Broad is not scheduled to open until sometime in late 2014, so the tour Diller gave was indeed on the early side. But Eli Broad is not the sort of architectural client who is going to wait for the paint to dry—or the skin to be completed—before showing off a building. So, on Tuesday, a group of journalists all donned hard hats to poke around the rebar and the purple "DANGER" tape for a peek at L.A.'s newest cultural destination.

During his opening remarks, Broad acknowledged his reputation for moving quickly: "Those of you who know me know I'm not a very patient person. When it comes to projects, I want to move on." And Diller herself joked about his reputation for impetuousness. "When we won this, we felt it was a mixed blessing," she said. "We were very nervous about getting involved with Eli. We thought, 'Are we going to get fired in a couple of months?' But I have to say, the process has been great. Eli has been involved—very, very involved—in a kind of great way."
Certainly, the architectural program for The Broad is as difficult as the client. The $140-million building will not only house a museum, it will contain a storage facility—somewhat contradictory functions. Diller tackled this with an approach she dubbed "the veil and the vault." The building's lower two stories comprise the vault: a boxy, cantilevered structure made from 36 million pounds of concrete that will house offices, storage and archives, with a few public spaces woven in between.
On top of the vault resides the principal exhibition area: 35,000 square feet of column-free, light-saturated gallery space that can be configured in countless ways. To get here, visitors will ride an escalator that travels from the lobby in a tube that punctures the dense concrete core of the vault. If the early construction is any indication, this will be one of the best escalator trips in all of Southern California—a retro-futuristic people-mover that channels the old Disney science ride, "Adventure Thru Inner Space."

Wrapping the vault, along with the gallery that sits on top, is the so-called "veil," an intricate honeycomb screen made from fiberglass reinforced concrete panels (GFRC) held up by 650 tons of steel. During the day, this screen admits diffused daylight into the building. At night, it will give off a soft glow. The veil, Diller says, has been the most difficult aspect of the building to produce, designed in a CATIA program and requiring dozens of specialized molds to fabricate. "The level of complexity—you're not going to find a lot of fabricators that are going to want to jump into that," she explains. "And that could do it beautifully—it's being executed in a beautiful, beautiful way." (It is being built by MATT Construction, with Gensler serving as executive architects—both L.A.-area firms.)

With construction still underway, it's too early to tell how all the pieces might fit on the inside. On the outside, the building is certain to cut a dashing profile. But it nonetheless faces challenges, though these have more to do with expectation than design. The Broad is part of its patron's desire to revitalize Grand Avenue, the hilltop thoroughfare where the museum is located and a bizarre urban tapestry of bland corporate towers, public-private spaces that look like they were designed by bankers, and California design icons like Frank Gehry's (FAIA) Walt Disney Concert Hall, Welton Becket's (FAIA) Music Center and the cathedral by Rafael Moneo, Hon. AIA.
As other parts of downtown L.A. have revived, boasting plenty of street life, Grand Avenue remains a dead zone. "Every city needs a vibrant center," Broad said on Tuesday. "It was clear to me 50 years ago when we came here that Los Angeles was missing a vibrant center." How The Broad will help build that center is somewhat unclear. (Plans for an adjacent public plaza have yet to be sorted out.) What is certain is that Grand Avenue is a neighborhood riddled with block-sized cultural monuments. With his museum, Broad has added yet another.

U.S. landscape painters of several generations, active circa 1825–70. The first of them were inspired by the natural beauty of New York's Hudson River valley and Catskill Mountains. The leading figures were Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, and Thomas Doughty (1793–1856). Others, such as Frederic Edwin Church and George Inness, had studied in Europe and found inspiration in the grandiose landscapes of J.M.W. Turner. By mid century they were widely admired for their depictions of a common theme, the splendour of the untamed U.S. landscape. The name Hudson River school, applied retrospectively, is extended to artists of the same vision who painted imposing scenes of the Rocky Mountains, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite Valley. The first native school of painting in the U.S., it remained the dominant school of landscape painting throughout the 19th century.

The strategic importance of the ability to control navigation along the Hudson River was obvious to both the Americans and the British from the outbreak of open hostilities. The Hudson was the major means for transportation of supplies and troops throughout a large portion of the northeast. The eventual location of the fort was noted for its strategic advantage as a well-placed location for controlling navigation along the river as early as the seventeenth century. Only a month after the first open armed conflict in Lexington, the Continental Congress indicated its intent to build fortifications in the Hudson highlands for the purpose of protecting and maintaining control of the Hudson River. On May 25, 1775, the Continental Congress passed a resolution to construct fortifications along the Hudson River in order to retain control of the waterway that "…a post be also taken in the Highlands on each side of Hudson's River and batteries erected in such a manner as will most effectually prevent any vessels passing that may be sent to harass the inhabitants on the borders of said river…"
James Clinton and Christopher Tappan, both lifetime residents of the area, were sent to scout appropriate locations for the required fortifications. The initial site chosen was further to the north at West Point, and construction of the fortifications to be named Fort Constitution began. However, difficulties in construction and management of the original plan of fortifications and the escalating costs involved led to its abandonment. The location on Popolopen Creek across from Anthony's Nose was proposed, and the materials and resources from Fort Constitution were redirected to the construction at the new location. Construction began on the new Fort Montgomery in March 1776.
The strategic importance of the opposite bank of Popolopen Creek was quickly realized, as it was an elevated cliff terrace that had full view of the location of Fort Montgomery, so a smaller fortification named Fort Clinton was built there as well. The placement of these two forts and their associated cannon batteries effectively controlled this stretch of the Hudson River. However, in addition to the fortifications, a major engineering project was conceived to effectively blockade any naval traffic on the river. A boom and chain were built across the river to provide a physical barrier in addition to the combined firepower of the fortifications.
In July 1776, a committee appointed by the New York convention, which included John Jay, Robert Livingston, George Clinton and Robert Yates was appointed to "devise and carry into execution" measures for "obstructing the channel of Hudson's river, or annoying the navigation of the said River." It bemoaned the situation of its arms, and made measures to procure more cannon.
The battle was a pyrrhic victory for the British, however, as the campaign against Forts Montgomery and Clinton caused delays that would give American forces the upper hand at the Battle of Bemis Heights in Saratoga. The reinforcements for which British General John Burgoyne was waiting were held up, and Burgoyne was forced to surrender at Saratoga ten days later with his reinforcements still far to the south.

Labor wrong on Qantas: Keating
PUBLISHED: 16 Dec 2011 07:31:00 | UPDATED: 17 Dec 2011 05:00:08PRINT EDITION: 16 Dec 2011
Former Labor prime minister Paul Keating has the Labor government made a mistake in intervening in the Qantas dispute.
Mr Keating said rather than refer the dispute to Fair Work Australia, he would have let Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce sit there for a week or two.
"The chances are there would have been no more Alan Joyce, a very good chance. Having taken his airline out, how was he going to get it back," he told Sky News.
"I think the shareholders would have moved and then the board would have had to do something. The unions on the other hand would have had to do something and we would have had a bargained outcome.
"Instead of that we had the Commonwealth deciding it, which saved Joyce and let the unions off the hook."
Mr Joyce grounded the entire Qantas fleet on October 21 and said staff would be locked out as part of the airline's industrial dispute with unions.
Fair Work Australia subsequently terminated the dispute.
The airline and unions have yet to reach an agreement, although the airline announced today its short-haul cabin crew has voted in favour of a new enterprise bargaining agreement that will see workers receive a three per cent pay rise each year for three years.
The airline remains at war with its pilots, engineers, baggage handlers and ground staff.
Mr Keating said a non-arbitrated bargained outcome would have been better for Qantas in the long term.
He said he didn't want to tell new Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten what to do.
"Except that if the government moves towards the principles in the legislation of 1992, they know it will work because it proved it will," he said.
"It produced a 2.5 per cent inflation rate for 20 years broadly. Notwithstanding the chicanery of Howard and Reith and others, it basically produced moderate wage outcomes and a low level of industrial disputation."

Two students of the Presidency College were injured after being beaten up by a group from Pachaiyappa's College here on Tuesday.
Police said Presidency College students Deepak and Yuvaraja were travelling by an MTC bus on route no 27H plying between Avadi and Anna Square. At 9.20 am, the bus reached the Anna Arch bus stop where many Pachaiyappa's students were waiting to board their respective buses. Suddenly, five students, from among those on the sidewalk, started throwing stones at Deepak and Yuvaraja who had alighted from the bus. One of the stones hit Deepak on the head while Yuvaraja escaped without any major injury. The windshield of the bus was also damaged.
Meanwhile, fearing assault, another Presidency College student, Ganesh, who was travelling on the bus that came after 27H, tried to get down before it came to a halt. He skidded and sustained head injuries. Deepak and Ganesh were rushed to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital. Deepak later sought to be shifted to a leading private hospital. Aminjikarai Inspector K Chandrasekar said the assailants have been identified. They will be arrested soon. This is the fourth incident of clashes due to inter-college rivalry in which six have been injured so far.

Hi all, A couple of days ago my diesel stop solenoid decided to start leaking when i wanted to use my car. My local motor factors stock 8 different types for my car ('99 1.8TD escort) but they are all wrong. Ford's want £175 for one (not sure if thats for a full pump cos he did mention it not being available as a seperate unit).
The part number they gave me is 1114471 and the part number on the solenoid is MAEDS 124A07
Mine has wiring built-in to it as opposed to nut or spade connections, and the end of the solenoid itself has a filter on it instead of a plunger (Here's a photo of it).
The solenoid works perfectly well so what i want to know is - does anybody know where i can get a replacement solenoid on its own, or tell me a good way of stopping it from leaking (i think its coming from the rubber seal around the wires).
If i can get a solenoid that will physically fit and do the job, the wiring is not at all important as i can adapt that myself.
Thanks for looking.

Enercell is a battery brand sold exclusively by RadioShack at retail stores and online. For decades, Enercell batteries were manufactured by Eveready, and then by Energizer when Energizer Holdings bought out Eveready. In 2004, Rayovac successfully underbid Energizer as RadioShack's battery supplier. As an added bonus, Rayovac also began packaging the Enercell-branded batteries (something RadioShack had previously done themselves), which led to considerably higher profit margins for batteries at RadioShack. Rayovac had formerly manufactured a rechargeable alkaline battery for RadioShack (also branded Enercell) for a short period of time; however, poor sales prompted a switch in branding back to Duracell Renewal before the product was finally discontinued at RadioShack in 2001.
Previously, other specialty batteries (such as cordless telephone batteries and button-cell batteries) available at RadioShack were branded Enercell; however, these were purchased simultaneously from multiple manufacturers at a piece rate. Although the same purchase process is still in effect, specialty batteries at RadioShack are now simply branded "RadioShack". All new batteries arriving at RadioShack stores are now using the Enercell name in a black and green package.
Also, RadioShack for several years sold batteries branded "Enercell Plus" that were marketed as "Premium Alkaline" batteries.[1] These were always manufactured by Energizer, until they were discontinued in January 2007. The same product has been relaunched as "Digital Plus" and is called a "high power alkaline". It is also now manufactured by Duracell.
RadioShack expanded the Enercell name to many power accessories including alkaline and rechargeable batteries, power adapters, power inverters, travel adapters and voltage converters, as well as surge protectors, power strips and power cords. However, the Enercell brand is slowly being phased out, replaced by the new 2014 white-and-red RadioShack brand packaging, or other manufacturers, such as Voltage Valet.

The UTEP Miners drove 96 yards in 3:00 late in the 4th quarter with the game tied at 13, then Dakota Warren kicked the game-winner, an 18-yard field goal to win the game, 16-13. In what was a very sloppy game from UTEP's standpoint, the Miners improve to 3-1, 1-1 in Conference USA. Trevor Vittatoe threw for just 171 yards on 16-33 passing, while Donald Buckram saw his first action of the season, rushing 13 times for 59 yards. Marlon McClure was the star of the game, especially on special teams, when he piled up nearly 200 yards including speical teams. McClure had several kick returns for 139 yards. UTEP now heads to Albuquerque to take on New Mexico next Saturday.


text: Hi folks I updated my HLFS-uClibc profile last week to revise it from SVN as of Oct to the 8th Jan version. When I build it again it failed in Ch.5 flex during the "make check" stage - the failed tests were all to do with pthreads. I then searched backwards through my build logs and discovered that gcc in Ch.5 has also failed numerous pthread tests (but as it'd use a "make check | exit 0" it had continued on). I changed the "sed" command in uClibc in Ch.5 to NOT use "-fomit-frame-pointer' and rebuilt again. This time it failed in Ch.6 flex...same test failure. I then made the same change to Ch.6 uClibc to not use "-fomit-frame-pointer" and rebuilt again..........the flex test in Ch.6 then also passed. So it looks like the HLFS-uClibc SVN book should be changed to NOT suggest compiling uClibc with "-fomit-frame-pointer".

NY Attorney General Report Highlights Mounting Presence of Breaches

First of all, let me say I am a fan of this game. I am looking forward to it, and excited to play it. For a combination of reasons, I will not be pre-ordering it. I will be gone basically every weekend for the next three months for work, weddings and family gatherings. I will essentially no play time during the weekdays either, so I am just going to wait and see when GW2 comes out and get it then. So, with all that in mind, I am going to ask a question (puts on his tinfoil hat). Does required pre purchase--not a $5 pre-order, but a full retail pre purchase--create a self fulfilling prophecy of less critical review of the early stage of the game? Obviously, anyone willing to plunk down full retail price for a game that does not even have a release date yet is going to want that game to be good. Are they going to be willing (as a whole) to acknowledge any shortcomings the game has, or is this gearing up for a SWTOR-esque sticking of collective heads in the sand and stoning to death anyone who says anything negative about the game? I am asking this as a legitimate question, not a troll. I want to see the game shine, and to shine, you have to sometimes acknowledge there are rough spots. It is the only way they are adressed. |
It will never stop players from being critical of the game if it falls flat on its promise. Inregardless of what's the purchase method, players will still come to forum and warn others, and I definitely will if it sux.
RIP Orc Choppa |
I see no difference between pre order and pre purchase, I have never pre ordered a game I didn't intend on playing long enough to pay for the purchase price in fun or newness. That might only be 1-2 months as it was for Aion for me but I went in not expecting it to be the holy grail I simply canceled my sub and went back to WoW full time. With GW2 its even better.. you get an MMO for the price of a single player game. Even if it flops and I think it has little chance of that happening.. it might end up being boring after a time but it wont flop. The game will be worth the 60-80 bucks no matter how you look at it. |
Originally posted by Naral Are they going to be willing (as a whole) to acknowledge any shortcomings the game has, or is this gearing up for a SWTOR-esque sticking of collective heads in the sand and stoning to death anyone who says anything negative about the game?. I've been bemused to see this odd re-writing of ToR history around here. ToR was nothing whatsoever like GW2 has been, it was being routinely savaged by the nothing-but-SWGII-is-acceptable crowd for months before release. To be sure it had more than a few defenders, but there was none of the mindless lockstep that people's fantasy ideas of what GW2 will be have created. ToR pre- and post-release was all out war, GW2 at best has to face the occasional skirmish with a troll. That having been said, in the end it won't matter. As much as people around here love to build up an upcoming game to unrealistic levels of nerdvana, they love tearing one down even more. For a time there will be a stoning of anyone who blasphemes against the church of Anet, but it won't last. Pretty quickly you'll start seeing some of the most fervent turning into jilted lovers. Interesting times, indeed. |
Don't think so. It'll be about the same, tbh. We may get more info in regards to the beta, but it will still be beta (a work in progress). It'll be no different then when a game launches and people tell everyone if it is good, bad, or just okay. |

It's more likely to make people more critical if anything. Think about the risk involved here. £50 for a game with no release date and beta access, if for any reason the game is lacklustre there's going to be some people who will be very pissed off. I mean look at the CS news and how people reacted to that. If you believe this much in a company and forget their actually after your money, then if that belief is somehow tarnished, you'll be more inclined to react angrily. As for review sites? Personally I think they've already made there minds up and that's fine. I personally don't believe in the conspiracy theories on here about reviewers being paid off directly, (ala SWTOR), but most reviewers are already onboard with GW2 so it's bound to do well with them. This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid! |

I think those who are going to pre-order (prepay) decided to a long time ago, more or less. If folks are going to be critical, it will be while looking for 'holes' in the bottom of the boat they just locked themselves into (onto) and less about defending their choice. With GW2, I will be pre-ordering and if it isn't that great at any point (not that I would give up if some mid-stream stuff was a bit tiresome), I'll just put it down. On the good side, I don't have to cancel a sub. If I decide to log back in in a month or two as long as I have my password, I'm gtg. I am looking forward to this game but if there are 'holes', I certainly won't defend the game to justify MY purchase of it. Nor will I tear it apart because I feel short-changed (well I suppose if it was truly horrifically bad I might go looking for my dictionary of negative adjectives for more blasting power) if it isn't what i was hoping for. *shrug* |
Originally posted by Myria It is a matter of perspective, I think. To be honest, I still play SWTOR, and don't hate it. But I think the overall defenders of SWTOR were very staunch in their beliefs and very vocal about the "success" of their game. I think if you ignore the clamor of the SWG fans who were both angry at the closing of their game, and the lack of similarity of their game to SWTOR, then the overally take on SWTOR, was, imho, quite favorable around here until after launch. Maybe that is just my take /shrug. |
So you're asking what will be going on in the heads of thousands of different individuals that we have never met? What sort of answer are you expecting from this? |
Truthfully i think it will lead to even more critical responses cause now money is invested. 'Most people give a game time to get better throughout the beta caue they know they DONT have anything really invested. Now u will find that players who did pre-purchase will more then likely be very critical and more then likely enter a state of panic if the game isnt what they expected. |

No, this is not a legit question. This is a sad grab for more drama. This thread will go nowhere, lock it up. |
DAMNIT! I left my locking device at home. A mod please use theirs? |
Why would GW2 be different in this then pratically every other game out there? |
Originally posted by deathangell What deathangell says: I know what to expect because i have had hands on but lets say just for arguments sake that anet alters things drastically after accepting a ton of pre-purchases, that would most certainly not be in their best interest for short or long term fan relationships but keep in mind i and many others that have got to sample it do not see this game as overhyped at all to begin with.. But as far as i am concerned pre-purchase will not muffle or delute how i judge the game and like deathangell says if anything should make most folks that pre-purchase even more critical, i love what anet is doing with GW2 and yearn desperately to taste it again one beta weekend at a time and into the release.. Playing GW2.. |

Originally posted by Naral So basically if you ignore all the SWG lovers, EA-is-the devil, and SWTOR will be a WOW clone, people your perception is correct? That's a lot of people to ignore there :P In all seriousness Myria is correct there was a lot of vitrol over this game, especially when details came out what style of game Bioware were going for. You perceived the defenders and they were here, but there were and are a lot of haters on here for TOR, thats a fact. Myria is also correct that GW2 hasn't had nearly the same amount of detracters. Should they be compared though? Probably not, there's a lot of people who are fans of the first GW which helps, as does there catchy marketing. ANET had a lot of fans for delievering something different in this genre, what do people really want now on these forums? A different experience, so people are going to be pumped for someone who is offering that with the reputation they have. This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid! |
I believe you will get critical thinking people since they already invested money. I think you will also get the can't do anything wrong people who think everything is awesome, since we won't get extended playing time until release. However, there is a certain segment of people who would prepurchase plopping down $5 (and in some cases no cash) to play the beta just to bash the game. I have seen this in many games people who get in to beta for no reason but to try to tear the game apart (or so it seems from their posts), and I believe there was an element of this in the beta last month. I believe this element will be greatly reduced due to the entrance cost. So, because of that I think the reviews on average will be higher due to how they are doing things. I think this is smart marketing as well. Reviews don't matter to me, I am along the lines of thinking that others have expressed, where I really want a trial or to get my hands on the game first hand before I purchase. That already has been a reality for many with the number of conventions/demos available. |
Originally posted by Adalwulff [mod edit]it is a legit question and it can be answered as already a few have done in this thread. ArenaNet defently doesn't pay to get unrealistic good review this way, Yes the let there hardcore supporting fans pay to play in beta, but thats a chance to take and a big one. And shows that they have great faith in the game (and it maybe also shows that they actual wants beta testers helping out creating a better game) ArenaNet already recived alot of heat for this decission, where people question if its a vice thing to do , as a prepurchase (without a release day) is apparantly not even legal in some countrys ,and for many it look dodgy to ask mony upfront that way. Those on the fence but pre-purchacing anyway, is going to ensure some very vocal negative reviews if they find any reasons for that. I am a fan , and i think i know what to expect, but if i find the game to be a hoax, well then it would save my friends to make the same mistake, and it would turn me into a very vocal hater here, and in other places. ArenaNet have confidence that this will not be the case. I belive them. If they get good reviews from the prepurchace model - then they deserve them. And getting rid of alot of he uninformed misunderstood reviews from people that just can't get out of the boring conditioned Oldschool MMOmindset, that we would be floated with, if it has been a truly open beta, is not a loss at all at this stage in the development. read how to create a succesfull mmo before posting about GW2. And read tao of ArenaNet before talking about innovation in GW2 |

Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas Surprise Fans with Duet [VIDEO]
Demi Lovato brought long-time friend and megastar Nick Jonas on stage for a surprise performance during her concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The duo performed not one but two songs; one that Nick even co-wrote. The crowd was singing along and chanting their names as the pair took it all in.
Will Demi Lovato Be Attending Miley Cyrus' Wedding? [AUDIO]
Demi and Nick sang, "Catch Me" and "Don't Forget," two very big fan favorites, so it was no surprise that when Demi turned the mic out to the audience, they didn't miss a note. The pair was having a great time and we're jealous we couldn't be there to see it live. Luckily, we have the video below so we can watch it over and over again.

World Radiography Day: Two-Thirds of the World's Population has no Access to Diagnostic Imaging |
Between 70% and 80% of diagnostic problems can be resolved through basic use of X-rays and/or ultrasound examinations; PAHO/WHO works with countries to strengthen radiological services in the Region Washington DC, 7 November 2012 (PAHO/WHO).- The use of X-rays and other physical waves such as ultrasound can resolve between 70% and 80% of diagnostic problems, but nearly two-thirds of the world's population has no access to diagnostic imaging. On World Radiography Day, which takes place on 8 November, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) will advocate for improving adequate access to and quality of radiological services in Latin America and the Caribbean. The main purpose of the PAHO/WHO Radiological Health Program, created in 1960, is to advise on all radiological health fields with emphasis on policy and program guidance, to strengthen processes for the assessment, adoption, and use of appropriate health technologies for diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy services, in addition to providing technical cooperation to ensure radiation protection of the public, workers, patients, and the environment. PAHO/WHO also assists the Region's countries in developing well-trained professionals and implementing quality control programs. "Access to diagnostic imaging services has a great impact on public health and can potentially reduce, for example, infant mortality or increase detection of some types of cancer at an early stage. Unfortunately, current shortages of human resources and obsolete or broken equipment are making it increasingly difficult to provide adequate access and quality in our region," explained Pablo Jiménez, PAHO/WHO Regional Adviser on Radiology and Radiation Protection. ??Radiography is the creation of images of internal structures using X-rays or other physical waves, such as ultrasound and electromagnetic waves. It is used for diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic purposes. Its different modalities include X-rays, sonography, mammography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance, among others. In Latin America and the Caribbean, available services frequently have to deal with poor quality procedures and unnecessary exposure to radiation. As a result, many diseases, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, cancer, and others, are often misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed.??It is estimated that some 3.6 billion diagnostic X-ray examinations are performed every year in the world. Nevertheless, there is a wide gap in the rates of radiographic diagnosis between developing and industrialized countries. While in countries with medium health development (22) in Latin America and the Caribbean, some 400 radiological studies per 1,000 population are done annually, and in those with low health development (5) some 30 per 1,000 population are done, in the industrialized world the number is around 1,700. A team of well-trained radiological technologists, radiologists, medical physicists, and biomedical engineers contributes to the overall quality of radiology services and care, by providing high quality images and correctly interpreting them. Some of the Region's countries depend at times on outside support to provide services, because many do not have the human resources or formal education to instruct personnel. Furthermore, procurement and maintenance of technology is more expensive in Latin America and the Caribbean than in industrialized countries. The dizzying pace of development of technology in diagnostic imaging services partially benefits the Region, where, depending on each country's income level, state-of-the-art technology is being added mainly in the private sector. ? "Adopting these technologies poses a number of challenges, since their design usually responds to the needs of industrialized countries; thus, complex equipment is either underutilized or remains damaged due to the weak capacity of some countries to maintain it," stated Jiménez. On 8 November 1895, the German Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen produced the first pictures using X-rays, giving birth to radiography. He was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery in 1901. The International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT), formed in 1959, is a nongovernmental organization composed of over 80 national radiographic societies from 75 countries representing more than 350,000 radiographers and radiological technologists. The ISRRT, which celebrates World Radiography Day, maintains official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO). PAHO celebrates its 110th anniversary this year and is the world's oldest international public health organization. It works with all the countries of the hemisphere to improve the health and quality of life of the peoples of the Americas and serves as the WHO Regional Office for the Americas. Links

Introduced bees may compete with native fauna, spread parasites or pathogens to commercial bee hives, or increase the fecundity of introduced weeds. Therefore, the recent detection of Halictus smaragdulus, native to the western Palaearctic, in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales (NSW, Australia) is cause for concern. However, it is currently difficult to justify control measures, as there is little known on its ecology, impacts and distribution. Determining the current distribution is fundamental to managing introduced species, yet this is difficult with inconspicuous species such as H. smaragdulus, especially as recent introductions are often found in low densities. We demonstrated how a combination of approaches could be used to improve the identification of occupied locations in NSW, including bioclimatic envelope models, proximity to known populations, and observed habitat preferences. Members of the public were also trained to collect specimens and improve overall survey efficiency. Bees were collected using pan traps and sweep netting. H. smaragdulus was detected at 44 new locations, extending the known distribution from ~1,250 to 46,800 km2. While bioclimatic envelope models helped guide survey locations, species detectability was higher when observed habitat preferences and proximity to known populations were also considered. We also demonstrated that with training via the internet and appropriate procedures for returning specimens in the mail, members of the public could successfully collect this small and inconspicuous invertebrate, with potential applications for other similar species.

Echinacea (coneflower) products are herbal preparations derived from the root and above ground parts of the flowering plants Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea pallida and Echinacea angustifolia. Echinacea has a long history of medicinal use and is widely used in the treatment and prevention of upper respiratory tract infections. Claims in relation to cancer are that it can boost the immune system, reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and has some anticancer effects. In vitro studies have suggested immunostimulating and anti-cancer activity of various constituents of echinacea. However, clinical studies investigating these effects have been limited by small sample sizes, lack of a control group or use of combination products. Echinacea is generally well-tolerated with the most frequently reported adverse effects being gastrointestinal upsets and rashes. Theoretically, echinacea may interact with immunosuppressive drugs and with metabolism of drugs via the cytochrome P450 system. In summary, there is currently insufficient evidence to support or refute the claims for echinacea in relation to cancer management.

Jennifer and Steven made their exits from 'Idol' official last week, but a new report suggests they were dumped from the show — they didn't quit! Read on for all the details!
Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler made separate, official exits from American Idol last week, claiming it was their decision to move on from the hit reality franchise. But a new report suggests salary demands and disinterest got in the way and ultimately got them both dumped from the show!
The Wrap is reporting that Jennifer asked for a $2 million pay raise for a third season of Idol. Jennifer allegedly received $12 million for her first season and $15 million for her second season. This time around, she was hoping for $17 million.
The Wrap's insider said Fox "surprised her" by not making a counteroffer — leaving Jen no choice but to bounce!
According to the same report, talks with Steven didn't even get that far! The show, which has been declining fast in the ratings, didn't pick up Steven's option for another season!
Randy Jackson, the only judge remaining as of July 15, has finally reacted to the news telling Gossip Cop, "Steven and Jennifer are truly two of the most talented and consummate professionals I've worked with. I was friends with them before we hopped on this crazy journey together and I have no doubt our friendships will continue long after. I will love them for life."

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks
Posted at 10:02 AM on August 6, 2012
She just got too greedy. I am a fan of JLo, don't get me wrong. she is amazing. But constantly asking for more and more money in my opinion is getting a tad bit greedy. I think there will be someone better fit for the job anyways. That way Jennifer can move on and do other things with her fame.

Make Your Own Ricotta Cheese
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, April 28, 2011This week we're celebrating Italian food on Healthy Eats! See all our Italian food coverage here.
Homemade cheese may seem like a daunting task, but some cheeses are much easier to make than others. Homemade ricotta is definitely doable at home — all it takes is some easy assembly and a bit of patience. The pay-off is BIG: Absolutely no preservatives and the best-tasting, creamiest ricotta you've ever had.
3 Simple Steps
My favorite ricotta recipe was inspired by Food and Wine Magazine chef Maria Helm Sinskey. Just a few tweaks to make the recipe my own and it's been a staple in my kitchen ever since. I make it just about any time I need ricotta — it's THAT good. Serve with favorite pasta dishes, sweetened with honey and fresh berries, or spread on a slice of toasted bread topped with sliced tomato or cucumber. Since it's pretty rich, a little goes a long way!
Easy Ricotta Cheese
Yield: 4 cups
8 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 ½ tablespoons white or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Equipment: A fine strainer and cheesecloth
Step 1
Combine milk and cream in a large pot and heat over medium-high heat until steamy, but not boiling.
Step 2
Turn off heat. Stir in vinegar and salt with a wooden spoon. Continue to gently stir for 1 to 2 minutes as curds begin to form. Allow to sit out at room temperature for 90 minutes.
Step 3
Place a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large bowl. Using a slotting spoon, transfer curds to the cheese cloth and allow to sit for an additional 30 minutes.
Prep Tip: Once you have gotten most of the curds out with a slotted spoon, pour remaining liquid through a separate fine mesh strainer; add those curds to the rest in the cheesecloth.
Serve fresh ricotta chilled or at room temperature. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

@turkay1-- Unexplained fevers in adults can be due to Lyme disease, I know because my cousin had it.
Lyme disease is caused by a tick bite and barely causes any symptoms in the beginning. If someone doesn't notice the bite, there won't be symptoms until weeks or months later and the first symptom is usually an unexplained fever.
After fever, muscle aches and pains, chills, neck and head pain starts.
If it's not treated Lyme disease can also cause meningitis and chronic muscle inflammation and pain. My cousin's was treated very early on so she didn't develop these complications.

Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he does not know yet if Gareth Bale will start for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo.
The Wales international has been named in the squad for the game against the Celestes on Monday evening, but the Italian tactician has revealed that he is still unsure if the attacker is fit enough for a starting berth.
"Bale will be included in the squad for the match tomorrow, but I have to decide if he's going to play," he told a Press conference.
"He has trained this week, he's fine, he has no problems, but we might wait a bit more so as to play him at peak condition."
The Coach has claimed that he wants to get the year off to a good start with a win, but realises that playing Celta will be tough.
"We finished last year well, even though we struggled to win the last match [against Valencia]. In the last two months we played well and tomorrow
"I hope to see that same attitude and concentration. The players have come back in good condition, the team is doing well and I think we can play well tomorrow.
"They are a good team that play good football. I know the Coach's philosophy because he was in Italy and it is about playing good football. Hopefully it will be a good spectacle.
"We'll have to be really focused because they're very dangerous."
Ancelotti then commented on Fabio Coentrao's future at the club and Jese's impact since coming into the first team squad.
"[Fabio's] situation is clear. He suffered a major injury with Portugal. He began training 15 days ago and has to do a pre-season. He is training with the team and is doing well but still needs 15 days or so to get into shape.
"I have not spoken about [Jese] starting. It is hard to say that he will start. He's doing well and is showing that he is important to the team. That's enough. He is very young and is doing very well, so we're all happy with him. He may play tomorrow."
