The combination of rising costs of herbicides and falling food prices paid to farmers for many crops is causing some Ohio farmers to go back to basics …at least when it comes to soybeans. ideastream®'s Mhari Saito has our story about farmers returning to a crop they had once given up.
Steve Waddle's dusty boots are as gray as the dried corn stalks he stands on, here in his corner of the corn belt about an hour west of Columbus. For over ten years, Waddle has alternated his corn plantings with genetically-modified soybeans because they are easy to grow, safe and had been cost-effective...until recently. Last year, agribusiness giant Monsanto raised prices on Round Up herbicide and genetically modified soybean seed citing growing demand. The price of production for Waddle and other farmers suddenly skyrocketed.
Steve Waddle: Because of the economic conditions last year when our expenses rose drastically and that carried over to into this year and then grain prices dropped, we needed to find other ways to make a profit.
So this year, for the first time in years, he's back to planting conventional soybeans - ones that haven't been genetically modified.That's a real niche market given that only five to ten percent of Ohio's soybean production is of the non-genetically modified variety.
Steve Waddle: These are food grade beans and they carry an incentive along with them. We'll get up to $2 extra per bushel, based upon how well we do, over what the regular beans would bring.
These conventional soybeans fetch a higher price, according to Ohio State University agronomist Jim Beuerlein because of global demand. He says customers in Japan and Europe prefer non genetically modified soybeans even though there is no scientific data to show any health benefit.
Jim Beuerlein: There's not very many of them around, there's a big demand, so companies are paying farmers extra to grow that crop.
One of the biggest buyers of conventional soybeans in Ohio will surprise you. Honda Motor Company used to send its shipping containers home empty after delivering car parts. Employees in Marysville, Ohio decided to ship back soybeans in the containers. And why not? The US is the world's largest soybean grower. Joe Hanusik is plant manager at Honda subsidiary HAPI Ohio. He signed a record number of farmers this year to plant non genetically modified soybean seed.
Joe Hanusik: This year we are producing roughly 45 thousand acres of non GMO soybeans. Last year we were right around 25 thousand acres.
And that interest is spreading to seed companies. John Suber runs Ebberts Field Seeds in western Ohio. He says his company usually has booked all its seed orders by January. But he was surprised when he sold out of non genetically modified soybean seed early.
John Suber: Well we've had calls clear through February and March of people wanting them and we have upped acreage for next year's sales - doubled it - so we anticipate that demand continuing to grow.
Back at the Waddle's farm, Steve's son Mark is getting started on 200 acres of non genetically modified soybeans. The family figures they'll spend about $350 to $400 an acre.
Steve Waddle: You know the current bean price is $9...I just called this morning, it's $9.38. If I get a $2 premium that'll actually be all the profit I'll have. So that's why we're doing it: To try and get a little bit of extra money.
Waddle is considering this year's foray into non genetically modified soybeans an experiment. He's curious to see if he can control the weeds without too much extra work and still make money. He'll have to wait till September when the beans are harvested to find out for sure but he's hoping it's a good bet.

Hi Steve,
As one of the guys still working I don't have a problem with Sheriff Mueller's comments as an elected official with the exception of his intention to prevent the enforcement of these ruled within the borders of his county by federal officials. How he intends to do that is fraught with peril.
I certainly understand his feelings as we suffer from politicians in this state deciding which laws they want to enforce regarding immigration and terrorism, but those are issues for the courts and legislatures. He certainly has the discretion to set arrest and enforcement priorities for his deputies within the law, but putting his officers in direct conflict with other law enforcement officials does not help his cause.Marc....you have reposted a ridiculous "home budget". As an Economics student in the early 1980's the US was going through a similar (though not as severe) recession. One of the first things we were taught when faced with the question you pose is that a Government is NOT a family or a business and should not be run as such. I realize that your tiny little brain cannot think beyond the bounds that people like Victoria, Rush and the like espouse over the air waves. You really should try and do a little thinking for yourself and read up on how the economics of our Country really work. Have a nice day.

14. November 2012, Lysaker, Norway: Pronova BioPharma today announced results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. Third quarter 2012 revenues were NOK 427.9 million, up 9 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2011. Revenues in the first nine months of 2012 were NOK 1 354.6 million, up 10.6 per cent compared with the same period last year. EBITDA was NOK 208.7 million in the quarter, representing a 15.9 per cent increase over the same period last year, and NOK 651.3 million in the first nine months of the year, up 28.2 per cent from the corresponding period in 2011.
Moving annual total (MAT) end-user demand for Pronova BioPharma`s prescription drug in its current eight largest markets, as measured by IMS, fell 1 per cent overall. Moving annual total (MAT) volumes were 1 268 tonnes. This represents USD 1 393 million in drug sales on a MAT basis, up 1 per cent year-on-year, ensuring that Pronova BioPharma`s pharmaceutical product remains a blockbuster.
During the quarter, Pronova BioPharma and its partner in Japan, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited ("Takeda"), announced that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved a New Drug Application (NDA) of Lotriga granular capsule 2g ("Lotriga") for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Upon approval, Pronova BioPharma and Takeda are confident that Lotriga will be able to become a valuable new treatment option for patients in Japan living with hyperlipidemia. A pricing announcement and launch of the product are expected in the near term.
Upon approval and launch in Japan, Pronova BioPharma`s pharmaceutical product will be marketed in 61 countries. The launch in Japan, together with recent approvals in geographies such as in India, Brazil, Argentina and Morocco, forms a core part of Pronova BioPharma`s strategy to promote continued growth in its pharmaceutical product.
As previously announced, in May the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in Pronova BioPharma`s favour in the patent litigation against Teva and Par, in relation to Lovaza U.S. Patent Nos. 5,656,667 (expiring in April 2017) and 5,502,077 (expiring in March 2013). Par and Teva have both appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, on the issues of infringement, validity and enforceability. A hearing is expected to take place in 1H 2013.
In Europe, as previously announced several generic companies have obtained authorisations to market generic versions of Omacor and, since the period end, a generic version of Omacor has been observed in the UK and Germany. Pronova BioPharma and its commercial partners have been working closely together to ensure the continued success of the product in Europe in the evolving competitive environment. This includes a continuous evaluation of enforcement of remaining intellectual property rights, as well as, the implementation of several other measures.
As announced in September, the Spanish public authorities decided to reintroduce reimbursement for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia when fibrates are contraindicated. This is a partial reversal of the decision announced in August to discontinue reimbursement of Omacor as part of a general measure to reduce healthcare costs. The reintroduction of reimbursement is an important step in securing continued access to Omacor for Spanish patients.
The Consumer Healthcare Division was officially launched in November. The strategy for the Consumer Healthcare Division is based on a number of key differentiating factors, including the development of innovative products, the Company`s integrated end-to-end value chain, a strong focus on high concentrate products, the uniqueness of purity by leveraging Pronova BioPharma`s manufacturing expertise and patented environmental pollutant stripping technology, and commercial partnerships.
Further progress has also been made in developing the clinical nutrition business. In October, the Clinical Nutrition Division entered into a sponsored research project with Boston Children`s Hospital to investigate new intravenous clinical nutrition compositions in pre-term infants. The aim of the project is to study improved lipid composition of fish oil-based Intravenous Fat Emulsions (IFE`s), which are nutritional supplements given to patients unable to absorb adequate nutrition orally or enterally due to medical conditions such as Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). Long term use of conventional IFE`s, based on soybean oils, can cause severe complications such as Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease (PNALD), which can result in severe morbidity and death. In 2003, researchers from Boston Children`s hospital identified that fish oil-based IFE was effective in preventing and even reversing PNALD in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. Pronova BioPharma and Boston Children`s Hospital are investigating the development of a fish oil-based IFE.
Pronova BioPharma`s large phase I study of PRC-4016 will be finalized during Q4 2012. Results have so far been very encouraging with no drug related side effects seen. The Group expects to move directly into Phase II clinical trials in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Pronova BioPharma maintains its outlook for 2012 of revenue and EBITDA growth, with the strongest growth having come in the first half year. Shipments in 2012 and 2013 are expected to be aligned with underlying end-user demand and launches in new growth markets. The 2012 and 2013 revenue-to-shipment ratio is anticipated to be between 1.10 and 1.20.
The main risk to the Company`s guidance relates to the loss of market exclusivity and that economic pressures and weak public finances could affect volume and price development in selected pharmaceutical markets.
Pronova BioPharma`s Chief Executive Officer Morten Jurs commented, "We continue to deliver strong financial results and our strategic projects have successfully reached important milestones. Last week we officially launched our consumer healthcare business and are about to launch Lotriga in Japan. In addition, we expect to move our lead pipeline candidate into Phase II clinical trials and entered into a sponsored research project with Boston Children`s Hospital to investigate new intravenous clinical nutrition compositions in pre-term infants."

A new collection from Errol Douglas, member of the Order of the British Empire, pushes hair into bold new territories.
Like any gifted artist thoroughly devoted to his craft, Errol Douglas is in constant pursuit of the next big thing. Witness the stunningly beautiful looks of Evo 3.0 seen exclusively on these pages—all inspired by the perpetually changing creations Douglas has either worked on backstage at fashion shows or spotted on the runways. "My passion for the endless possibilities in hair that can be achieved with contrasting textures and color is a key thread that links the images in Evo 3.0," says Douglas, a three-time winner in the British Hairdressing Awards' Afro category, who, in 2013, also received his 17th consecutive nomination for British Hairdresser Of The Year for the collection. Likewise, his choice of Death Valley as a backdrop is a visual nod to a striking statement that can be made when rough terrain meets smooth lines. "The mountain vista that photographer Andrew O'Toole shot while on a recent trip to Southern California really played up intrigue and drama," Douglas says.

IMAGE ABOVE - Voluminous curls and color take center stage in this style Douglas created by imbuing hair with a pink hue before performing an old-fashioned set, a volume blow-out and section-by-section tonging. For the finishing touch, Douglas backcombed random sections in a bespoke fashion.
IMAGE ABOVE - Errol Douglas put a modern spin on this look, which draws influences from the '50s and '60s, by pairing three vibrant colors in the hair before using a classic set and blow-dry technique for structure and volume.
IMAGE ABOVE - Douglas reinterpreted the mullet, giving it a stylish feel, with bold copper color and two textures. He used the Errol Douglas Treat & Style tool to achieve a straight, high-gloss crown before wrapping the hair from the ear downward to create random soft waves.
IMAGE ABOVE - This long blunt bob goes edgy with Douglas' smudging technique, which involves using cotton wool to blur and create the contrasted color in the hair.
IMAGE ABOVE - To achieve his '80s-inspired nod to Ziggy Stardust, Douglas scraped back the hair at the sides with a slight undercut before coaxing strands upward into a combed fringe shape that he smudged with gold hue.
IMAGE ABOVE - For this modern-day take on an '80s look, Douglas scraped up long hair to the middle of the crown, pinning it in a track from the front to the back. After pointing the ends of the hair upward, Douglas used Treat & Style to lock in the spiky shapes.

How DCF Does Court Cases
DCF does two basic type of court cases, "care and protection" cases, which keep your child until age 18 or whenever you convince the agency you are fit, and "adoption", where they permanently terminate your parental rights.
The real money for DCF is in the lease-sale of children. Take them for a year, and sell them at the end, after one of "their" judges throws you out as parent.
There are basically two types of court cases that DCF pursues. The first is called a "care and protection" case, and the other is "adoption". A case only gets into court when DCF has snatched your children or wants to snatch them and keep them either for a while or permanently. In order to keep a child for more than a day, they have to go to court. Here is the whole process explained:
First, a note about the relationship between the administrative case, described elsewhere, and the court case. Even when a case does go to court, DCF still conducts an administrative case. It justs plods along on its own course, as though court was not happening. There is often a complete disconnect between the two for some reason. The investigation, assessment, and on-going social work just clunks along, in typical mindless bureaucratic fashion, oblivious to the fact you may not even be seeing your children. Deadlines for various legal court requirements are not coordinated at all with what the administrative case and social worker are doing. Oh, well.
Care And Protection
When a DCF case goes to court, it usually starts as a so-called "care and protection" case. That means that the DCF believes that your child or children are in need of care, and must be protected from you, because you are not providing adequately for their physical, emotional, educational or other needs.
The first thing that happens in a care and protection case is they seize the children, in the manner and for the reasons described in the article about the Snitch Network., and in the article about why DCF can kidnap your child.
Once they have the children, they place them in a foster home until you are able to rescue them and get them back. As described in the above-referenced articles, they avoid kinship placement with relatives, because they cannot control your access to the children as well. They would prefer to put them in a stranger's home, where they can drug them, interrogate them, control them, and wean them away from you, your home and your love.
72 Hour Hearing
The next thing that happens after your children are in captivity, is that you are given what is called a "72 hour hearing", which, remarkably, is supposed to happen within 72 hours after the kidnapping. At that hearing, DCF has to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, (meaning more likely than not, basically 51%), that the children have been seriously abused or neglected by you, OR that they are likely to be seriously abused and neglected if not kept out of your home, and that DCF has made reasonable efforts to keep them in your home.
If you are indigent, the court will appoint a lawyer for you for this hearing. Often, the lawyer doesn't even meet you until the hearing, so it is better to get your own lawyer who will stay up all night to prepare if necessary. How can a lawyer possibly be prepared if he sees the file for the first time the morning of court. You need witnesses, documents, and testimony prepared.
72 hour hearings have loads of problems, not the least of which is that they are rarely done within 72 hours. It is also hard to get the needed information from DCF to know what you are being accused of. But, when they ARE done within 72 hours, you have to prepare a whole case in that short period, which is quite a feat.
RED ALERT: The starting point for preparation is to get the secret "affidavit" from the court file which was prepared by the social worker to convince the judge to take your children. It contains the allegations that the judge read and on which he or she based the decision to originally take the children. You MUST know what is in that affidavit if you are going to mount a real defense. Clerks will give you an incredible amount of grief when you try to get this affidavit, but be persistent.
How to do a 72 hour hearing is again far beyond the scope of this article. I will be preparing a "Win Your Own Case" program to explain how you can win at the 72 hour hearing.
Here is the procedural problem with 72 hour hearings. If you win, you and your children walk out of that court free. If you don't, DCF keeps usually keeps them for a year, while the case grinds slowly through the court system. There is no further chance along the way to get them back until a trial. That is a huge flaw in the law.
Trial Preparation
The next phase of a care and protection case is to do all the things on the service plan - remember we discussed those above - so that when you get to trial time, you can show you have been a good girl or boy, and have been "fixed" from the problems that caused the court case to be filed. Also, during this trial prep phase, you want to get your own expert witnesses who can come to trial and opine about how good a parent you are. Your lawyer may not do things that way. If not, you have the wrong lawyer, because if you do not do that, you will lose your case. I kid you not.
During this time, the DCF will allow you to have some visits with your child. You should push the social worker, and if necessary, the court, to have the maximum contact with your child possible. The DCF uses their own delay, and the harming of the parental bond that THEY cause, to argue that you can't be with your child(ren) any more.
If you can push for "kinship" placement, meaning that your children are cared for by a relative while the court case is going on, that is a crucial advantage, and one affirmed by the law. Do anything you can to bring that about, including having the relative go to DCF to push them. They will put the relative through hell, with all kinds of hoops to jump through, but hopefully the relative will endure it for the children's sake.
This discussion cannot teach you to be your own lawyer and put on a court case. It is a description of the procedure, so you can help your lawyer by knowing the important things that happen during the case and be prepared for what should be done. There are many other quirks and procedures that occur during these cases, that cannot all be detailed. There is no substitute for experience in dealing with them.
The next major event in a care and protection case is a "pre-trial conference", where the lawyers write out a list of witnesses and exhibits that they will introduce at the trial, if one is going to happen. Some courts have two types of these conferences, and you will have to check with the requirements of each individual court.
Finally, there is a trial.
Even at this stage, sometimes the DCF will start talking about sending the children home, believe it or not, on a slow, stepped program. It may start with a few hours of supervised or unsupervised visits at home, working up to most of a day, to overnights, to weekends, and so forth. Then, finally, they set the hostages free to return home permanently. If that option is offered, it is usually better than a trial in almost every case. Trials are risky, and even if you win, the judge takes months to decide after it is done. A deal ensures return of your children eventually, maybe as fast or faster than the trial would have.
Trials are ferociously complicated proceedings, with many rules and a lot of special structures that have to be observed. The biggest rule for trials is preparation - preparation of the witnesses, your examination on the witness stand, the cross examination of the social workers and of any shrink the DCF brings in, getting the exhibits all copied and ready, etc.
After the trial, the judge will want the lawyers to do his or her work, and submit a massive set of "findings", with all the facts that were testified about during the whole trial, plus a long legal memorandum with explanations of the legal issues. Then, you wait for a judgment. For months and months usually. If you win, you get your kids back. If you lose, they keep them until age 18, or until you come back again for another hearing and the court turns them loose.
Every six months you are entitled to come back and get a hearing called a "review and redetermination", where you can argue that the situation has changed, and you are now able to provide them adequate care and protection and meet their needs.
That, in a nutshell, is the care and protection case.
Often, during the course of a care and protection case, the social worker gets a bug up her tookus, and decides to change the case from care and protection to "adoption". They then send in a special social worker whose job is to keep you at arm's length, and they reduce your visits to about one a month for an hour. Then, they argue at the trial that your parental rights should be terminated because you don't have much of a bond with your child, which was caused by DCF restricting your time with the child.
An adoption case, and an adoption trial is similar to a care and protection trial during the time the case is in court, and requires a lot of same preparation, and then some. From a layman's point of view, it would look about the same.
The outcome, however, is more critical. In a care and protection case, your parental rights are not terminated, and you can keep trying to get the child back. Here, if you lose, your rights are terminated, the DCF cuts off all contact with your child, and you may never see the child again. They hide their whereabouts, and tell the children horrible things about you.
If you lose, you can appeal to the Appeals Court in Boston, to a panel of three judges. They look for clear legal or factual errors that the judge made in the trial. Appeals take about a year, and are very complicated. They do not overturn many Juvenile cases.

When I was a teenager, I always had very oily skin. I hated this when I was younger because I always associated it with acne and felt like my face was always shiny.
Now that I am older, I realize this is a good thing. The more oil you have in your skin, the longer your skin stays soft and hydrated.
Dry skin always makes you look older and is usually very itchy as well. The more natural oil you have in your skin, the less wrinkles you should have.
One thing I liked about my skin as a teenager was I had a darker pigment to my skin than some of my 'fair-skinned' friends. It was much easier for me to get a nice tan and keep it all summer long.
Many of my friends never really tanned and would just get red when they spent much time in the sun.

text: Nevada All of the state's elk tags are issued by lottery. No matter what area folks hunt, the outlook is as good this season as it's been for years. However, Dusett cautions hunters that weather makes a big difference in success rates. "If it's hot and dry, the elk will be in high, rugged country." Oregon "People need to realize that the elk in there are tough animals to hunt. The terrain is steep and heavily forested," says Test. However, stalking the comely Roosevelt's clan of cervus elaphus in rainforest habitat places the hunter nose-to-nose with rare beauty and fosters a deep appreciation for mental and bodily preparedness. Utah Overshadowed by its trophy units, Aoude reminds nonresident hunters that the state still offers over-the-counter bull tags. Most of these general bull seasons are regulated with spike-only restrictions. New for 2009 is a regulation change that also allows the harvest of spike bulls in limited-entry units with an over-the-counter tag. Fewer unlimited areas allow hunting for any-bull. Most of these are found in designated Wilderness Areas on the north and south slopes of the Uinta Mountains. Success rates run around 15 percent, but these are desirable hunts for folks willing to test their mettle in wild, demanding terrain. Washington Overall elk numbers remain stable in the Evergreen State, with slight increases in the northeast and some decreases in the southwest where managers have moved aggressively to trim the herd in the Mt. St. Helens area. Washington still offers over‑the‑counter bull tags for Roosevelt's elk in the west and Rocky Mountain elk in the east. Bulls must have at least three points on one antler in the west, while spikes-only can be taken on a general tag in the east. Wyoming Burgeoning populations in the Laramie Peak area in the central portion of the state have prompted an increase in tag numbers. However, Obrecht cautions that public access to this elk factory is problematic. National Forest lands are highly fragmented and private land is heavily leased. Despite localized troubled areas, hunters can anticipate another exceptional elk season in the Cowboy State. Beyond the year-to-year tweaks in tag numbers, the game and fish department is radically altering the way it sells leftover tags after the drawing in 2009. Instead of a second drawing, all leftover tags went on sale on a first-come, first-served basis in early July. The leftover licenses will be available online or from in-state license providers.

Black White Residence
Simple architecture is echoed by a simple palette of stucco, fiber cement, and ebony and zebra woods.

david jameson architect, alexandria, va.
Our judges were impressed by how this house by David Jameson, FAIA, pays homage to classical modernism. One cited its "control over the interior spaces," adding "the way the glass boxes emerge from the plinth below is quite skillful."
The existing slab-on-grade post-war rambler had seen many additions over the years and was, in Jameson's estimation, a chaotic mess. So he razed most of the structure—retaining just enough to keep the budget in check—and added a second level. "The intent was to visually create this plinth from which glass volumes would emerge," he explains. Each of the four boxes contains separate functions: a double-height living room, a double-height dining room, a master suite, and the children's bedrooms, respectively.
Inside, the finishes are as restrained as the house itself: white walls, black storefront framing, wood casework, dark cementitious floors on the first level, and wood flooring on the second level. "The house is conceptually simple—black played against white, positive played against negative," Jameson says.

Ralph Lauren Goes 4D
Nov 11, 2010
Last night, Ralph Lauren put on a show to remember with a 4D light show that displayed a ground-breaking approach to architectural video mapping.
As they celebrated the 10th anniversary of ralphlauren.com and the launch of a UK e-commerce site, the retail giant projected a runway show and iconic pieces from the brand onto the facade of the New York flagship store at 888 Madison.
The images seemed to float out and project off the building itself. The visuals were also accompanied by music, illusions of blowing breezes, and even mists of the new Big Pony Collection fragrance! The weren't kiddin' when they said 4D!
Check out the video below to see for yourself.

Why Trimble Navigation (TRMB) is Soaring on Wednesday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Trimble Navigation (TRMB - Get Report) is soaring after topping fourth-quarter estimates after the bell Tuesday.
By midmorning Wednesday, shares had added 13.5% to $37.02. Trading volume of 2.6 million was higher than its three-month average daily volume of 1.4 million.
The company, which makes GPS devices for use in construction, surveying and agriculture projects, reported quarterly net income of 43 cents a share. Revenue of $599.2 million was 16.2% higher than the year-ago quarter.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had predicted per-share earnings of 37 cents and $567.38 million in sales.
"The fourth quarter results were a strong ending to a challenging year. Beyond the revenue growth in the quarter, fundamental financial performance continued to progress, with improved margins -- reflecting a richer mix of higher-value product solutions," said CEO Steven W. Berglund in a statement. Full-year net income of $1.58 a share was 7 cents over consensus. Sales increased 12% year-over-year to $2.29 billion, higher than expectations of $2.25 billion. For the three months to March, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based business anticipates revenue between $610 million and $630 million, with per-share earnings of 40 cents to 43 cents. Analysts forecast earnings of 42 cents a share on $618.16 million in sales. "While the fourth quarter supports the anticipation of an improved organic growth outlook for 2014, the environment continues to be comparatively uncertain with variations of regional economic performance, continuing deferrals of investment, and continued constrained government funding," added Berglund. TheStreet Ratings team rates TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LTD as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LTD (TRMB) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: TRMB Ratings Report

Honest question. Do you think Carolyn Manno and Jade McCarthy are sneaky happy to be featured on Fuck, Marry, Kill? I bet deep down in places they don't talk about at parties they are. It's kind of like a badge of honor. Like you've arrived on the Boston Sports scene when we start talking about you. Anyway I'm going to marry Manno for two reasons. First we traded emails awhile back and she promised to send me smokeshow pictures which she didn't, but it made me think she liked me and 2nd Devlin said she is breathtaking in person. Of course Devlin is easily impressed but whatever. That means I'm fucking Hazel Mae because I love Asians and killing Jade McCarthy. Somewhere in a dark alley Uri Berenguer smiles.
Marry – Carolyn Manno
Kill -Jade McCarthy

Dimanche 27 mai
our local newspaper about a month ago and joined an Indian family that took over. Well, we never had such good service in the community and are very nice people. name of the woman and is about 42/45 surinder very thin and pretty. she is always friendly and helpful, and finishes to be honest, makes it very sexy and saris I have often imagined what it would be like having sex with an Indian woman. freepornos Last Thursday I went to the store a few good stamps and receive latet surinder was there and it was pretty obvious that she had been crying, I asked him what's up and said anything, or what I have said and what general, dont cry for anything to do? that she began to mourn over and told me that her husband had been with a woman much younger than earlier in the day and is not, without doing something. said, well closed in the business and give you a nice cup of tea, and we walked into the apartment above the store was and a cup of tea for us and we sat down to talk. surinder told freepornos me that her husbannd was out of play for years and had become an eye on him when he returned allways, but this time for good. I said, Well, I think you're better off without him and removed said they are an attractive and women should be with your life. Am I really attractive to men, he asked and said yes you want. that stood up and went I freepornos sat bent over and kissed me on the cheek and thanked him for that kind, I put my arms around her and kissed her again, she replied, and soon we found in a passionate embrace. set my hand to touch her breasts and squeezed my hand to say no no I'm not sure how I've done nothing for a long time. I said, is that I do not care you want and want to make love. that she took my hand and put it back on her tits. large arent very firm little nipples big and soon I had to free her bra and was in them. I suck in my hand and pulled her panties herleg up and opened hone leg for me, his finger up very soon she was moaning with pleasure and humid, so I got down and put my head in her sari and pulled her panties aside and licking pussy. she went crazy and told me freepornos he had never done before, and please do not stop charming ite.

PHILADELPHIA — The Packers escaped the City of Brotherly love with a gutsy 27-20 victory. It wasn't pretty, but any win on the road is impressive – especially when you consider that quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a rare off day and the defense was forced to play most of the game with just two healthy linemen. Here's a position-by-position review:
Quarterback – After a nearly perfect preseason, Rodgers struggled against Philly. He wasn't helped by shaky protection, but many of his troubles were self-inflicted. He made some bad throws and some even worse decisions. The good news is that Rodgers may not play this poorly again. The even better news is that the Packers still found a way to win.
Running backs – Ryan Grant's sprained ankle looked pretty bad. It's hard to imagine him not missing at least a few weeks. Brandon Jackson did a solid job in his place. He ran hard, protected the ball and kept defenders away from Rodgers on third down. Jackson will need to make the Bills pay next Sunday if they only keep seven in the box (which they will). John Kuhn ran hard – as always – from the fullback position, but his lack of quickness will be a problem if he has to play some halfback next week.
Tight ends – There's little doubt that Jermichael Finley is the receiver every defensive coordinator will game plan to shut down. Sean McDermott and the Eagles did about as good a job as possible by mixing coverages and being very physical. Still, the budding star caught 4 passes for 47 yards – not bad for an off day. Tom Crabtree played quite a bit and did OK as a blocker. He should be much more effective once the cast comes off his injured wrist.
Wide receivers – Greg Jennings' spectacular one-handed catch on third-and-8 led to Green Bay's first touchdown of the season. He's as smooth as they come. Donald Driver caught five passes and scored a short touchdown, but he had some trouble getting separation down the field. The four talented wide receivers combined for only 129 yards – a total that in many weeks is achieved by halftime.
Offensive linemen – Things settled down a bit after a rough start, but this group has to play better. The veteran tackles looked old at times. Mark Tauscher's below-average performance is especially concerning because he was going up against a journeyman (Juqua Parker) and a rookie (Brandon Graham). At least Chad Clifton's struggles came against a Pro Bowler (Trent Cole). The interior guys were generally solid – although Daryn Colledge had his perfunctory two or three head-scratching plays.
Defensive linemen – Give B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett all the credit in the world. The big guys were forced to play way too much after Justin Harrell and Cullen Jenkins got hurt. Both were gassed in the fourth quarter, but they never stopped working. Jenkins also deserves a pat on the back. He played the final 45 minutes with a cast on his fractured left hand. It remains to be seen how effective he'll be going forward. He should still be able to provide pressure, but getting the QB to the ground will be much more difficult. Green Bay will have to add a player at this position. Jarvis Green and Damione Lewis are out there.
Linebackers – Give Dom Capers credit for moving Clay Matthews all over the place. The Eagles had a difficult time locating the Pro Bowler, and even when they did, they couldn't block him. Matthews is extremely athletic and unbelievably relentless – two traits that will keep offensive coordinators up at night. Brad Jones didn't have much success rushing against Jason Peters. Whether that's a harbinger of things to come remains to be seen. An optimist will say that Jones was rusty after missing most of training camp. A pessimist will say that he's simply not talented enough to beat quality left tackles. Brandon Chillar and Nick Barnett were active and rookie Frank Zombo recorded a sack when the Birds forgot to block him.
Defensive backs – Tramon Williams played very well. He looked like a solid starting cornerback. Sam Shields wasn't a liability in the nickel, but that had more to do with the circumstances than his actual performance. The undrafted free agent had all kinds of trouble in coverage. Fortunately, a nervous Kevin Kolb couldn't take advantage and Mike Vick was more interested in running the ball than throwing it downfield. Morgan Burnett also benefitted from playing against Kolb and Vick. The rookie from Georgia Tech wasn't really challenged in his pro debut. Charles Woodson's forced fumble in the third quarter was a huge play.
Specialists – Mason Crosby's 56-yard field goal would've been good from 65. He was on fire at the end of training camp and the rain in Philly didn't cool him off. Perhaps this will be the season that Crosby blossoms into one of the league's best kickers. Tim Masthay's poor final punt marred an otherwise solid debut. Jordy Nelson took advantage of unusually good blocking to average over 30 yards on five kick returns. In fact, the blocking was so good that a more explosive returner might've scored a pair of touchdowns. The coverage units also performed well. For one of the few times in recent memeory, the special teams actually helped the team win.
Etc. – Why in the world did Mike McCarthy wait an extra 20 seconds before calling a time out late in the first half? His gaffe cost the offense a chance to go for a TD… McCarthy got extremely conservative in the fourth quarter. With a great quarterback and so many quality receivers, it just doesn't make sense to rely on a backup running back when the game is on the line… Green Bay had only seven offensive linemen on the active roster. With T.J. Lang not dressed, rookie Bryan Bulaga was apparently the backup right tackle… A.J. Hawk didn't break a sweat because the Packers were in nickel all game. This won't be the only week when the former fifth overall pick in the draft does a lot more sitting than running.


text: That was an excellent post phenolred. And I completely agree with MaryBeth. Sometimes you just have to clear your mind of what has been said about our Does, and go strictly by what you KNOW to be true. What the people at the campground said should not be taken as a fact. We don't know if the Jock was our Doe. We don't know if the initials on the ring are even his initials. Perfect example of this is Maricopa Jane Doe. Tawny's jewelry had her mother's initials on it.

A chaotic vortex of white paper strips — enmeshed with metal wiring and plastic toy soldiers — quivers in the stream of air flowing from a ceiling vent. It cascades to an end amid a miniature paper city on the floor. Here, in the back of the Ritter Art Gallery, a long, dimly lit space above the breezeway at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Salt Lake City-based Lenka Konopasek's suspended Indoor Tornado demonstrates the surprising versatility of paper as an artistic medium. The work is one of several three-dimensional pieces featured in "Papercuts," a touring exhibition highlighting the works of seven contemporary female artists who practice the ancient technique of paper-cutting.
Konopasek's interactive works force viewers to walk around them and examine them up close. The pop-up-styled paper structures include scaled-down cityscapes and disaster scenes, both natural and manmade, lending a sinister thematic hue to a typically more playful form. The material itself — thin, fragile, and fleeting — and the delicate, deliberate techniques involved in its manipulation add layers of meaning to the artists' works: As much as we attempt to exert control over our lives, there's little we can do to manipulate how and when we'll go.
Curated by artist Reni Gower, "Papercuts" is robust in scope, featuring 32 works ranging from elaborate, floor-to-ceiling, Arabic-inspired cutout patterns to text-based, documentary works that appropriate found and collected materials. Michelle Forsyth's series of glass-frame-encased, hand-punched paper bearing quotations from news stories and witness accounts is a refreshing take on textual art. Created using a careful process of removal, the perforated texts on off-white paper are difficult to decipher unless viewed from just the right angle, and the content, sourced from primary documents and accounts, forms acute, poetic images in the mind. One such work, titled "New York Times, July 18, 1996," reads: "Fire had left its terrifying blight in a colorless, garish monotony that suggests the burned-out crater of an extinct volcano." Even though Forsyth's paper is essentially blank, the piece creates a powerful mental picture while making a subtle allusion to its own vulnerability against the all-consuming flames.

Daniella Woolf is another paper artist in the show who uses documents to create her work. Again bringing this traditionally intimate, small-scale practice to a larger-than-life size, her works are composed of small scraps of personal history — shoe repair shop tickets, inventory index cards — aged and frozen in time by a coating of wax and sewn together with colored stitching to create a sort of hanging paper fabric, like quilts of human memory. "Social Register," for example, is made from the entries of a "parental Rolodex," with names and phone numbers hand-scrawled across hundreds of little cards. The piece is both nostalgia-inducing and eerie, suggesting a network of missing or broken connections and technologies already long gone.
Also notable in the exhibit were Beatrice Coron's hand-cut Tyvek narrative depictions of fantastical imagined cities, the sheer size and amount of singular detail of which are awe-inspiring on their own. Less conceptually ambitious but still pleasantly tongue-in-cheek for their domicile naughtiness, Lauren Scanlon's Dare I Be Happy? (Marigold) and other similar pieces make beautiful, elaborately patterned decorative wall hangings out of the pages of old Harlequin novels.
On view through March 2, "Papercuts" is a surprisingly loaded exhibit exploring the boundaries and potential of a material that demands extreme precision, patience, and an obsessive attention to detail. Featuring artists whose works manage to update and refresh a centuries-old practice, the exhibition succeeds at breathing new life into paper-cutting in the digital age, while for the most part avoiding cliché or kitsch.
On the other end of the spectrum — and a quick five-minute walk across campus — another exhibition on view at FAU's Schmidt Center Gallery explores what happens when artists let go of control and allow chance and spontaneity to become driving forces. "Pour" is on view through March 23 and focuses exclusively on abstract painting, in particular works created using pouring techniques. Curated by University of South Florida Associate Professor of Painting and Drawing Elisabeth Condon and FAU Professor of Painting and Drawing Carol Prusa, the show takes a look at the evolution of abstract expressionism since the second World War, showcasing the works of nine accomplished contemporary painters who take advantage of the capriciousness and unpredictability of the paint-pouring technique to express a reverence for the forces of nature, the given form, and the beauty in that which we cannot control.
Located in a much more open, airy, and lighted space, the works in this show are allowed to "flow" and breathe under the high concrete ceilings of the Schmidt Gallery. Upon entering, the viewer is bombarded with color, from vibrant, neon blues to softly glowing pastels to large, blocked-off primary colors. Some of the pieces are more graphic, replicating the effects of digital gradients, while others resemble highly detailed photographs or blueprints. While reflecting on the influence of digital culture on the process of pouring paint, the exhibit highlights works that embrace and derive meaning from paint's properties, rather than force the paint to conform.
The works in the show not only capture the movements of liquid paint but also reveal the movement and flow of the artists themselves, who lay their canvases flat and must work around the pieces rather than face them head on, engaging in a sort of dance with the works and becoming involved in a more visceral way. Los Angeles-based Ingrid Calame creates her colorful, frenetic works by layering spills of paint traced from samples of the marks and residue left behind in urban living, resulting in a sort of visual map of their interactions.

Michele Crisman (FMS) opened the meeting and reviewed the agenda. She mentioned that Kathy Winchester (FMS) was at an offsite this week. Introductions were made. Michele said that the ESF representatives would be joining the meeting via conference line. Unfortunately, they did not.
Revaluation of ESF Foreign Currency
Edwin Walker (FMS) reviewed the draft scenario. He mentioned that previously this scenario was reviewed at the March 26, 2009, IRC meeting. The IRC would review the scenario again today to include year 2 and address the reporting of Column 6 on the FMS 2108: Yearend Closing Statement. USSGL account 1201, "Foreign Currency Adjustment - Revaluation for the Exchange Stabilization Fund," was proposed to address the issue with the FMS 2108. Edwin noted that ESF representatives preferred not to use proposed USSGL account 1201. Also, Eileen Parlow (FASAB) questioned the use of a budgetary account because there isn't budget authority (BA). Teresa Tancre (OMB) explained that the ESF Treasury Account Fund Symbol (TAFS) 20X4444 is a unique, standalone entity unlike any other Federal entity. It is unique in that periodic increases are actually unrealized gains that are unavailable for obligation. ESF is unfunded. OMB does not want to see ESF activity in the net BA and outlays. The IRC suggested including this "uniqueness" in the background portion of the scenario. Cindy Scharf (LOC) suggested that USSGL account 4295, "Revaluation of Foreign Currency in the Exchange Stabilization Fund," should close to USSGL account 4630, "Funds Not Available for Commitment/Obligation," instead of USSGL account 4620, "Unobligated Funds Exempt From Apportionment," as indicated in transaction two on page 5 of the scenario. The scenario will be amended to show this change.
The IRC decided that USSGL account 1201 will not be established or used in this scenario. Instead, agencies should report using the previously proposed USSGL account 4295 (beginning balance "B") in Column 6 of the FMS 2108. The Statement of Net Cost on page 9 will be removed from the scenario and other recommended but minor changes will be made to the scenario before the final presentation at the May 14, 2009, USSGL Board meeting.
The IRC requested that references to the SF 133: Report on Budget Execution and Budgetary Resources (SF 133), not mention fiscal 2010 because the new fiscal 2010 SF 133 format will be significantly different from the current SF 133 format presented in the scenario. Teresa indicated that, regardless of the format, there will be a new line on the realigned SF 133 specifically for ESF related revaluations.
Separating Temporary Reductions From Cancellations (Proposed USSGL Account 4121, "Amounts Appropriated From Specific Invested TAFS Reclassified - Receivable - Cancellation"/Changes to USSGL Account 4123, "Amounts Appropriated From Specific Invested TAFS Reclassified - Receivable - Temporary Reduction/Cancellation")
Michele reviewed the proposal for new USSGL account 4121 and changes to existing USSGL account 4123. She explained that the proposed changes separate "cancellations" from "temporary reductions." As a result, the USSGL closing entries will be simplified. USSGL account 4123 will close to USSGL account 4382, "Temporary Reduction - New Budget Authority," and USSGL account 4121 will close to USSGL account 4357, "Cancellation of Appropriated Amounts Receivable From Invested Trust or Special Funds."
USSGL Board Voting Ballot #09-01
Gwen Marshman (FMS) reviewed the draft USSGL Board voting ballot handout. Gwen provided the USSGL/IRC meeting dates at which each account had been discussed so agencies could review meeting minutes for details related to each item on the ballot. She will e-mail this information to the IRC. Gwen mentioned that the final ballot will be available on the USSGL Web site before the Board meeting scheduled for May 14, 2009.
The following changes will be made to the draft ballot:
No other ballot accounts required additional changes.

What's New
Faster and Deeper Hypnotic Results-The new version incorporates the latest video technology using a new generation of fractals for a subliminal journey like you've never experienced before. This will get you into the hypnotic state necessary for the subliminal message to "imprint" the new goal you choose. It's also easier and more pleasant on your eyes.Original Music-We have updated the same successful original musical scores composed exclusively for the McMurphy App and loved by our users. It's very hypnotic (and necessary) to enter a state of trance with binaural sounds to synchronize both hemisphere of your brain.
Improved Design and User Interface : We have found a way to give you even more features but still keep it very simple and user friendly.
Save Space and Gain Convenience- We have included a new control panel that can gather several themes in a single app which saves a lot of space on the iPhone/iPad as the video takes up to 100 MB of space. You can also now purchase any new themes directly in the control panel and manage them easily.
New Themes and Versions-13 new themes available and all 60 themes offered now have a "Basic" or "Extended" version
More Help- We have included a better help screen with advice and a description screen (' i ' button).
Use Counter- This is a great new feature that shows you how often you have been viewing the video. To change a habit, you need a minimum of 70 days of use (psychology fact) to expect a sustainable result. We've included a use counter so you can make sure you are making progress toward permanent change!
Bug Fix- As always we strive to fix any bugs from previous versions. One such fix in this version is a lag problem that happens sometimes with subliminal messages on certain devices.
Better quality of images and manage RETINA display on iPhone 4 and 4S.
App Description
One Powerful Secret to Why You Don't Have Any LuckBy the time you are done reading this entire description, you may realize the power of this one secret…when you click "More" below you will find out exactly what it is.
Answer this…How many good opportunities have you lost because you feel that you're just unlucky?
I'm not talking about long shot stuff like winning the lottery (although who knows?) but how many every day type things have happened to you that are "unlucky". Sometimes it's enough to make you stop and cry. As you continue to read this, you will find out exactly why this cycle keeps happening to you, but
Let me ask you this first…
What would your life be like 5, 10, 15 years from now if you keep doing what you are doing?
Do this for me-ask yourself each of the questions below (one at a time) and after each one close your eyes and visualize the answer…
What does your "unlucky" life look like?
Does luck affect your relationships? Finances? Health?
Now, let's turn the tables….why do you want to make a change? That's why you are here reading this entire description to begin with isn't it?
Just imagine your life when you are lucky permanently…
What types of things could you be doing if luck was on your side?
What kind of stuff could you have if you were a lucky person?
What could more luck bring to your life?
More importantly…
How are you feeling? How much confidence do you have now? How happy are you?
That is something you could live with for sure, is it not? Ok, I've promised you the secret to why things haven't worked in the past and how you can easily change this right now in a short amount of time. Here it is…
Luck is a matter of being open to it.
I know, I know right now you're saying "what are you talking about?, I read this whole thing just for this?" Just continue to the end and trust me, it will be worth it. Life changing kind of worth it…
Think about this for a second…Luck works in your favor if you change your internal thoughts, beliefs and actions to model that of someone who considers themselves "lucky". But, nothing will ever work if you don't have that internal "map". This is exactly why things never change because we continue to do the same things over and over expecting different results (Einstein's definition of insanity).
But the good news is you can make a permanent change quickly and easily. And that's where we can help you.
The great news is you don't need to spend hours in therapy to figure out "why" if you just change the connections in your brain at the subconscious level.
By sending daily messages to your subconscious using our app, you can quickly and effortlessly eliminate limiting beliefs that cause you to be "unlucky" which will allow you to be open to lucky or positive outcomes in your life when they appear.
So, I'm sure you are wondering how much it's going to cost you to eliminate your luck problems forever?
That's the best part.
For a good therapist it will cost you $150 per session, but we don't want you to spend anywhere near $150… You will pay our app only ONCE and you will have it forever; that's much more convenient and much less expensive than any therapist.
For a limited time you will get our app for less than some of the best subliminal DVD's on the market. You can make permanent change quickly and easily right on your phone!
***Click on the Buy App button now (if not in ITunes, click "view in ITunes")***
And don't take our word for it that this will change your life…here is what an actual client had to say:
"Wow! I can't believe that something as easy as watching beautiful images on my phone could somehow change my habits. Thanks so much and have a great day!"
Imagine having these results for yourself…
PS: Here is what another satisfied client had to say:
"Worth every penny, it changed my life"

(KMOV) -- It costs St. Louis city taxpayers $4 million a year to clean up illegally dumped garbage, and Wednesday night police arrested a man after catching him in the act.
Police have been looking for Robert Eyer for six months. They say surveillance cameras caught him and an accomplice illegally dumping trash in North St. Louis back in June. Eyer is from St. Charles but says he owns property in the city.
"I don't think it's fair that I'm getting arrested for dumping trash in the Dumpster behind my property," Eyer said.
Eyer said he was rehabbing a property nearby and that's why he disposed of the trash in the alley. But police say, he owns derelict properties and used yard waste bins to dump his trash. City trash bins are only for city tenants and homeowners.
"You have no right to come in and trash our city, and it's not going to be tolerated," Sgt. Ron Hasty, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, said. "If it takes six months or a year, we're going to track you down and you're going to go to jail and face the judge."
Police say Raymond Meyer is Eyer's accomplice. They want him to turn himself in.
St. Louis has installed 40 surveillance cameras around the city in an effort to catch illegal dumpers. Crews are working to install 160 more.

Students just like you who want to learn and who know that all writers need readers! Our services are funded by composition course fees, so helping ENGL 1010 and 2010 students is our top priority. However, we are happy to aid any SUU writer who needs friendly guidance.
All of the tutors on our staff are English students who are good writers themselves. All of us are more than pleased to assist you with any concerns you may have regarding your writing, including the following:
As you can see from this list, we do a lot more than just "correct" your papers. Each Writing Center session is devoted to helping you further develop yourself as a learner and a writer. For that reason, we focus on creating an interactive environment by responding to your evolving ideas and offering you feedback on how effectively you are communicating them to an academic audience. Please don't expect us to proofread or edit papers for you. Instead, come to see us when you want to sit down to talk to someone who can give you the kind of information and support you need to take confident responsibility for your writing. We hope you're excited about the power that learning to write well can give you. We can guarantee that we're excited by what you have to say.
Although you can just drop into the Writing Center and wait in line for a tutor, you'll do yourself (and us!) a favor by stopping by to sign up in advance for an appointment. You request for a session as short as a half hour or as long as two hours. Please remember that we may not be able to accommodate you during midterm and finals weeks unless you sign up several days in advance.
Once you're here, the time is yours! You can ask us to brainstorm with you, read over your thoughts, help you revise a paper, review a professor's comments on recently returned work, or just talk about how your class is working out for you. Once the session has ended, we will ask you to fill out an Evaluation Form and drop it in the Evaluation Box at your convenience. Like you, we too are still learning, and we'd love to get feedback from you!
Yes!! Hear what other students had to say in our evaluation forms:
Want to find out more, set up an appointment, or just drop by? Come visit us!
Since you set the agenda for your Writing Center appointment, that's a question you can answer for yourself! You might consider the following list, however, as you decide to set your priorities. We might help you:
We can't write your paper for you. In fact we respect your ideas so much that we try to keep our hands off your paper. Instead we try to respond to your questions and concerns and to offer our expert opinion when you want it.
We can't give you a lot of help if you wait until the last minute to come to see us. To get the maximum benefit of our services, try to schedule your appointment several days in advance of your deadline.
Because we have so many clients, we can't offer you unlimited help. We ask you to limit your appointments to three per week. During peak times (midterm and finals), we may have to restrict appointment to one per week.
Writing Center philosophy as expressed by the International Writing Center Association:
Tools for college writing including from discovering a topic to organizing your paper to editing the final draft:
Grammar Answers:
Helps for students writing in English as a second language:
In order to support the University's concerns about maintaining a healthy campus environment, we cannot tutor students who are coughing, sneezing, or exhibiting other flu symptoms in our face-to-face environment. Sick students will be asked to send their papers to the Center via the Electronic Writing Assistant.

Google announced that it has acquired another small company today, Picnik.com. According to sources the financal side not yet revelaed but Picnik employs 20 people and its 5 years old site which provides online photo editing facility to its users.
The 20 employees have already joined other Google staff at the Googe office in Seattle and will be working with the Picasa group. Picnik seems like a perfect match for Picasa as the company offers web based photo editing and it only makes sense to use the company's IP to help enhance Picasa.
Picnik's official blog has the complete article about this you may see it here- http://blog.picnik.com/2010/03/google-acquires-picnik/

Easton may be known for breaking new ground with composites, but the 750mm Havoc bar helps them strut their over 75 years of experience in working with alloy. Like their original Hyperlite, the Havoc is wider, stiffer and lighter than other bars thanks to Easton's TaperWall tubing and ability to cold work the material.
A full 750mm width and either 20 or 30mm of rise makes the Havoc the perfect bar for any type of mayhem making, including freeride, DH and park riding.
Pair your Easton Havoc Downhill bar with other items in our items to create the ultimate Downhill bike.

Really cool bar. This bar gives the carbon fiber look but comes in a nice lightweight metal with a textured finish. Nice and wide, no problems 5 stars
I bought this bar (in orange) to jump on the wide bar/short stem bandwagon. It's on my Kona Tanuki, with a 65mm Kore stem. I don't go crazy on the trails, but the Havoc bar helps push my weight back and gives me more room to breathe. I love the sweep and bend, which is way more comfortable than the stock bar that came on the bike. I've done a 4.5-hour race in below-freezing tems and never suffered from hand fatigue or excessive vibration; the bar does a good job of remaining compliant. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the graphics seem to wear out quickly. I've changed grips and controls, and there's some permanent damage to the finish. But really...that's a small issue for an otherwise great component.

I love what you are saying so what I think you want is transparency. the player needs to know what he has done and needs to be able to defend him self a basic privilege of and court that is what tribunal is missing and what it needs a statement from the play that is in trouble or the right not to make a statement. is this right ? you don't have the right to reply ?
Well, there are quite a few things that bug me about the bans. First, given Riot profits from players creating new accounts and dumping money into rebuying champions and boosts to get back to level 30, they could possibly have an interrest in nuking accounts knowing the player will have to pay them to relevel or take eons. Second, due to it being free, it is a cesspool of kids under 18. Most people act the age of the group they are with. IE If you put a 13 year old with adults, he will act adult, and vise versa. This creates a very very negative player experience in randoms in regards to maturity. Thirdly, it is a private game and as such you are governed by Riot and Riot alone. This basically means that since it is their game, you should not expect fairness, justice or being able to explain anything. The bottom line for this is they have to keep costs low and really don't have time to listen. They try to keep everything as statistically based as possible and simply come up with a mathamatical model to flag out behavior they don't like. Fourth, connection testing. I became interrested in this issue after having been recently banned for connection issues. I had dropped 3-4 games after moving and had Clearwire 4g. I had tried to troubleshot the issue with their techs and playing another 3-4 games of bot games. Had no idea people could even be banned for dropping a bot game. Is it fair, meh, does it matter if its fair? No. So what is the Tribunal, why was it setup the way it was? It is purely a method to train the LoL community to do Riot's work. If they can get 5 people with a 99% chance to give the same punish as a riot employee would, then if all 5 of those people vote punish, you can say with almost certainty, he should be punished. This is why it is setup for you to make the same decision as Riot even though we all have very differing views of right and wrong. They will find all the people with over say a 75% success rate and take only their decisions into account. They will then see if there is a very popular consensus. If say over 75% of those make a vote one way or the other, the Riot employee could simply not review any information and hit the punish button. SOOO much easier than reading stuff. If I had to do the system myself, I would do it very similar but with the player given an opportunity to explain the actions. The Tribunal would then be given a chance to pardon or not. If pardoned, Riot would never see it. If he wasn't pardoned, the ball would still be in Riot's court. This would allow the player the ability to explain himself and the Tribunal to save or not save. I also think the game should require some modest payment if they ever have any hopes of a community beyond vomit spewing teenagers.
hmm this is is a bit overwhelming ... so what can we as a players do ? idea would me get a group of people together that just press pardon ? we still have no morals in the community. take this to a court ? no one has the money to throw at this that riot does ? write really informative posts like this one? who really read it? get every one to go play another game? not going to happen! pray to what ever god you believe in and just put up with it and live in bliss? welcome to middle class. any way we all agree that what you have said is sound but we as middle class would like to feel that it is not so black and white and would still like to think that we are making a difference so what else would people like to see in tribunal ?

While I'm glad people love ideas, we need to use the search feature more. There are like 6 threads of the same thing on the first page any given day. However, this thread has added something new. Please add it to this link here. I'm keeping it updated and hoping for a sticky eventually. I may change the format or something sooner or later, but right now it's a long list.
