Los Angeles restaurants
Until a few years ago, Los Angeles, with its non-eating actresses and snack-and-split surfer dudes, was San Francisco's dumpy culinary sibling. Sure there were a few dazzling places (Spago and Matsuhisa come to mind), but they were reserved for special occasions—and VIPs. But chefs are now serving up serious food without the stuffiness. These new spots feature L.A.'s famously fresh, diverse fare, along with a commitment to quality no matter the price range. Juicy tomatoes and tender meat are piled into handmade tortillas. Sushi is an art form. And even hamburgers, Angelenos' indulgence food of choice, are being spiffed up with ingredients like arugula and blue cheese. There are so many destination restaurants now, the only problem is deciding where to eat. For help, read on.

text: Amir" El Guardaespalda" RasheedEvery true fight fan knows Fres has never been beat, battered or knocked out!!!! Don't think Fres avoids fight and just fight no names. Hell anyone can get knocked out in this game. So study his history and style, before coming to your none qualified conclusion. He is, who he is, THE UNCROWNED CHAMP!!!!! Posted August 29, 2012 1:45 pmTommy BoyYou are seriously on CRACK. Fres beat the $#!+ outta Mormeck. Was not even close. McCall was closer but Fres NEVER got hit ONCE by McCall yet Fres out threw out landed and hurt McCall 3 times with upperuts. Please…………………….. Posted August 29, 2012 11:13 amTommy BoyHey Einstein, it the same guy Manuell Charr has fought. Oh Charr, the guy who got a majority decision in his home town against Zack Page who is 21-40-2. The guy who is fighting Klitchko. Remember him? :roll: Fres STOPPED all 3 guys this year, one of them with a BROKEN HAND. David Tua, Sam Peter, Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson, Dennis Boytsov all recently Top 10 ranked fighters could not do it. Oh the fact that we offered Adamek, Areola, Banks, Walker all the same fight for more than they are making with the guys they are fighting is who's fault??????? Get your head outta your a MALAKA Posted August 29, 2012 11:11 amFact CheckerGanger: if you think the Mormeck fight was close, you are blind. Watch the film. Keep in mind that the winner is generally the guy who connects with the most punches. Posted August 29, 2012 6:22 amFight Aficionado"Fres is better than the guys the Klitschkos are fighting, but we never hear his name in mix." – Well, if he'd go fight someone better than Hawkins he'd have a chance to get in the mix. Seems he's hoping a few wins over nobodies will garner him a title but that won't happen. He's gotta do something to get back on the radar. Posted August 28, 2012 5:42 pmGangerThe fight against Mormeck was not a robbery as it was very close. It could even be a draw but it was never a robbery. Mormeck did very bad against Wlad and if Fres is about level with Mormeck then it would be a mismatch against either Klit. Posted August 28, 2012 12:14 pmFact CheckerOquendo would KO David Rodriguez. Big difference in ability and quality of opposition here. Posted August 28, 2012 12:04 pmFact CheckerThe Mormeck fight is widely acknowledged to have been a robbery, and an outrageous one at that. Most observers believe Oquendo beat McCall, too. Regarding Pianetta-McCall, the fight was closer than you indicate. McCall was in the worst shape of his career for Pianetta as well (nearly 290 lbs) Posted August 28, 2012 12:03 pmchitownfightfanWE? And BTW…..Vitali beats Charr and Charr goes onto bigger things later, and it's a good move. Charrs still a kid. And undefeated. Ive seen Fres vs Mormeck….close fight, but the hometown fighter got the nod. Fres couldve put Mormeck away, but he CHOSE not to and left it up to french judges. And like the other guy says….Thats Wlads worst defense. Beating McCall. 45 years old. Holyfield and BYrd wins were ages ago. When is Fres gonna fight David Rodriguez. He's been talking about that fight for a few yrs. If you, "WE", know Fres……ask him if he'd really make that fight, and none of those typical BS $$$$ problems. 30-50K is 30-50K no matter who he's fighting. DROD would certainly pay more than Hawkins or Abell fights paid. Posted August 28, 2012 11:18 amRUFFKNIGHTFres is the MAN, unfortunately he got shortchanged with some of those close decisions. Now he's gotten a bit long of tooth but still has a couple of good paydays ahead of him. He'll never be a world champion but someone might give him a shot if he can hover around the fringe contender status Posted August 28, 2012 10:55 amGangerEasy easy, as far as I remember Fres lost to Mormeck in a close dull fight and Mormeck is by far the worst opponent to Wlad in this title stint. How can anyone lose a fight on points to McCall these days? Even Pianeta outclassed him and won all rounds easily. Fres is a nice bloke but he needs to fight top 20 boxers before calling out K2 – he could very well fight Pianeta. I would like to watch that fight. Or the loser of Pulev vs. Ustinov. Posted August 28, 2012 9:52 amTommy BoyDefeating, Byrd, Holyfield, Toney, McCall and Mormeck does though. Oh, Einstein, Manuell Char beat the same guy we did Saturday and also lost to Zack Page in his home town. Do some homwework before you flap that hole on yo yr face Posted August 28, 2012 9:34 amGangerFres had his chances several times and fell short every single time. He need to defeat other contenders to get yet another shot. Defeating Hawkins, Abell and Fulton does not make you ready to fight a K2…… Posted August 28, 2012 9:06 amSVDCOquendo would be a better opponent then Charr, and probably better then Wach as well Posted August 28, 2012 8:55 amGangerHard to be a Klitschko – everytime any boxer calls them out and the boxer is not getting a shot then they avoid this fighter :mrgreen: – maybe they should fight every day of the week to meet demands…. Posted August 28, 2012 8:53 am |

Either way, it's starting to look like this isn't a mirage -- something real and important has happened, and thus it would be worthwhile to understand what's going on.
Here are some thoughts on the potential focus of a new thread, or future discussions in this thread.
Topic 1. What is the true scope of this change?
At the narrow end of the spectrum, perhaps Google is targeting a very narrowly defined business plan or a very specific type of arbitrage site -- with little or no real content, using Adwords to obtain traffic and using Adsense to generate revenue.
At wide end of the specturm, this might be an early sign that Google is going to stamp out any business plan that adversely affects public perceptions of its Adwords and Adsense brands.
To enhance and protect its Adsense brand, Google could stop running Adsense on scraper sites, little-to-no-content sites, sites with mostly nonsense text, etc.
To enhance and protect its Adwords brand, Google block these types of sites from running Adwords campaigns, even if they generate their revenues using affiliate programs, display ads, YPN, etc.
Topic 2: What will be the indirect effect of this change on other publishers and advertisers -- those who are not being kicked out of Adsense?
Topic 3: How should webmasters adjust their strategies and business plans, in response to the change and in anticipation of the indirect effects of the change?
There's been some discussion and speculation about all 3 of these topics already, but a more in-depth, thoughtful analysis could be developed if we pool our collective knowledge and insights.
Of course, these 3 topics are related, since future effects and future strategies will depend on what's really going on -- the true scope of this change.
Well, well, this I do not see.
I guess that everything has been said by now. We had a 513 message thread originally, and then this 2nd thread, 92 messages, totaling 605 messages. - This is hardly "silence".
Also, I do not buy into the concept of "we can learn from MFA's". What could we learn from them? How to earn money on an old business model that now will be much harder to get to work (if at all)? How we could have made tons of money? How to not build a sustainable business? How to create thin-content sites? I doubt that many people here are interested in this.
I guess all players are now in the holding pattern for the next important step: June 1st. The questions to be answered then are - how well has Google performed? Do we see an EPC/CPM/revenue increase? Can we clean our filters now? Which (types of) sites do still exist? Why?
Again, I do not have the feeling of opinions being suppressed, neither by Google nor by anyone else.
Yes, July 1st could be interesting in terms of "sturm und drang", I agree.
And it's possible that G (and major commercial partners such as eBay) have another round of housecleaning due then too.
Google has decided to terminate contracts with partners they no longer want to partner with. So what? Why does anyone have to change their nick for this? Sure, some might have changed their nicks because they are afraid of their competitors using unfair tactics, but because of Google? Come on...
If your theory about webmasters being intimidated by the big bad GooG is based on nicks changing, you're building on top of quick sand, anyone here can give you a bunch of other logical ad understandable reasons for this, and for their silence about being kicked out.
(Of course, that would not stop WW admins shopping people to G, given that they have all the IP addresses and some of the motivation, but I sincerely hope that that isn't going on. I can't imagine Brett standing for it for a start.)
While I don't agree with some of their sentiments expressed earlier, I am grateful to some of those who have let as know what's going on and their view of what they were doing and its rights and wrongs.
I suspect these guys and galls would be the most unlikely partners of Google to provide conversion data back to Google and due to how many and how quick the growth had been it could well have been skewing Googles Overall Conversion data for other advertisers
just a thought
Why should parked-domain pages be affected by a crackdown on click arbitrageurs? They aren't buying clicks, are they?
Reading the hundreds of posts (and between the lines) I feel the account disablement is more about removing the one page 'content' + 3 Adsense ads + adlinks + adsearch type of 'site' that has been taught in so many ebooks and 'plans'rather than anything to do with buying traffic at Adwords.
As well perhaps the software generated sites consisting primarily of thousands of pages all of which have scraped content.
People can quibble over terms, but I don't think any reasonable person would claim that using AdWords to generate traffic for a site that happens to run AdSense ads is "click arbitrage" per se. (See my NEW YORK TIMES example in previous posts.)
Speaking of terminology, the term "MFA" ("made for AdSense") is often used here to mean thin-content click-arbitrage sites, but strictly speaking, a site could be "made for AdSense" without relying on click arbitrage for traffic.
It�s been going on for years so what�s their motivation to stop this all of a sudden?
June 1st means that 2/3 of the inflated revenue (and inflated cost) can still be accounted into Q2 earnings. So the first report that will show the corrected revenues is the Q3 earnings report. They can mumble something about summer slump and hope that Q4 revenues will take up for christmas season.
Perfect timing.
Maybe there were some upper management personnel changes at google..
I also tend to agree with the Q2 revenue statements theories.
It might also have been a change in the strategic plan. When I worked for the Navy, we had a matrix or dual management. Each division/branch/section had a military and civilian head as well as the overall organization. By and large the military's decisions were pretty much geared toward their next fitrep (Fitness report) and the civilian decisions took a longer term view. The MFA situation probably looked good to Google when looking at the short term. It's possible someone started looking at the longer term and realized the bubble could not be kept up.
Also, the "Why do it now" questions are a little amusing.. The whole business of Adsense and PPC is still pretty much in it's infancy. Every month that goes by provides the great GOOGLEBRAIN with an ever increasing amount of data, The external forces such as competition change, Consumer perspectives change, Politics changes, User demographics change, experience is built upon etc. etc etc ad nauseum.. They did it because the current situation as it applies to their current strategic plan warranted it.
ASA's comments suggest they've been planning and debating this change for a long time.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but the timing might be related to the long-awaited roll out of MS Vista.
For years, we've all been speculating about how MS was going to shake things up by integrating it's search engine into the Windows operating system. The fact that MS has actually been losing market share might have created a perfect opportunity for Google to clean up the MFA problem with minimal damage on Wall Street.
"The motivation is to clean up the content network before offering greater transparency to the advertisers."
assuming this is true shouldn't google just offer the ability for advertisers to DE-SELECT or BANNING their ads appearing on "MFA" sites...unless this is resource intensive.
Also can i ask the experience webmasters here..Since January google have been making some corporate moves in Adsense area..
- Google now allows us to include 3rd party contextual ads on the same page as adsense. - Google now has CPA ads [although in Beta stage] - Google have Video ads plus more images sizes - Google moved its LOGO to the bottom of the ads..
From a corporate prespective the above changes has implication in terms of Brand image, increase/decrease in revenue, strategic positioning in terms of competition, CTR etc,etc..
Are these changes PLUS the clean up [MFA] leading to something on 1st of June or its just a simple clean up?
Also bear in mind that there were changes on the adwords sections as well..
I just don't think its a simple clean up..Google is too smart for that...I mean these guys won't allow us to place 3rd party contextual ads with adsense before and suddenly this year they say its OK.
More important, any collateral damage is less likely to be disruptive in summer than at busier times of year.
There's a precedent for this approach: Remember the old "Google dance"? Major Google Search updates often began on holiday weekends when traffic was relatively light.
From defiance (we are MFA's so what?) to rationalization (we didn't do anything wrong, why pick on us), to victimhood (we are an oppressed minority unfairly picked on by Google) and finally to paranoia (we have to change our nick as Google is out to get us).
I don't think the mantle of victimhood sits well on MFA'ers, who are well aware that they have been gaming the system for their own benefit for a long time and not cared about it.
Google is clearing out the trash, good on them.
Wellwell said
After doing some research, I replied that since his QUALITY SITE DIRECTORY is hosted on the same IP with other 6000 sites and content on his pages is all over EzineArticles, it is a NO GO. His response was that I was rude and he will not recommend anyone to do business with me and he is removing my link from his directory.
Yes his QUALITY SITE DIRECTORY was MFA, and NO I was not rude, I told him like it is.
After all, its the advertisers who make the decision by paying in to the content network, if there has been a slow and long decrease in participation in the content network, google has to do something to build the confidence of people who spend money.
[edited by: trinorthlighting at 7:50 pm (utc) on May 29, 2007]
You forgot the stage where honest publishers were called "cute week end hobbyist" for providing a good user experience or "suckers" for making so little money.
That made the transition between rationalization and victimhood a bit harder to swallow.
For the record, my earnings have gone up since the announcement after being stagnant for a few months.
Advice to ASA, send out an email to adwords customers stating your cleaning up the content side of the house and may be we will give it a try again. Especially to the adwords customers who are opting out.
[edited by: trinorthlighting at 8:10 pm (utc) on May 29, 2007]
Perhaps, I can only speak from experience in that we do a lot of pay per click advertising and for about a year now, always have the content network portion turned off. We just couldn�t make the conversion numbers work. In fact it bothers me that having the content network turned on is the default. If you establish a new campaign for Adwords, you should not have to turn the content network off. (forgotten to do it many times and always get bit that first few days) That very functionality tells me a lot right there; it�s not user friendly but Google does it any how. They are radically different advertising mediums, but they try and lump it all together. I have always wondered how many people who are venturing into PPC via Adwords don't even have a clue their ads are also on the content network.
I'd bet that a significant number of advertisers don't know what MFA sites are, many don't even know for sure what the Content Network is, and don't have time or just don't want to study up on it enough to make an informed decision. Google has to keep attracting new advertisers, and many small businesses can't afford to hire someone, or devote their staff to it. AdWords needs to be simpler for these people, not more complicated.
look at the adwords threads on webmaster world, people tend to learn that lesson the hard way. I know we did. We have quite a few businesses and spend a lot on adwords. We opt out of every content network in every campaign. I know that there are good sites out there who would love to make some money from us sending good traffic. Right now the only way we advertise is pay per action. Come June 1st, we are going to give the content side a spin again and see what happens. If it works out, we will continue. If we get crap traffic again, we will turn it off again until google does another round of housecleaning.

Facey agrees to Gills exit
07 Aug 2008 - 10:53:40
Gillingham have confirmed that striker Delroy Facey has left the club by mutual consent.
The 28-year-old finished last season on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, having fallen out of favour at Priestfield soon after the appointment of Mark Stimson as manager.
Stimson told the club's official website: "With the arrival of Mark McCammon, I couldn't guarantee Delroy first-team football.
"It's good for him that he's chosen to move on and I wish him all the best for the future."
Facey only joined the Gills a year ago from Rotherham United, while the Chairboys became his 11th professional club.

Menu / AE Test
Mar 10, 2010 Other 6 commentsThe Menu / AE Test allows you to download and run Aero Empire's current engine, with options to enable and disable effects, and tweak the environment...
3 comments by terra0nova on Jul 27th, 2012
Hey Everyone! I've been quiet for a while, making smaller flash game projects and experimenting with ideas after Aero Empire fell apart, but I have recently started three things that I would like to share with everyone.
Fancy Fish Games - Following the recent success of some of my small flash game projects, I have decided to start a small, indie game studio called Fancy Fish Games. In the studio, I plan to catch some fancy ideas and make some interesting game projects. We already have a few projects planned, and two in the works, and I look forward to presenting them to the community soon.
VIDE - VIDE stands for the Vectorized Image Deformation Engine, and is a new tool I'm working on for future game projects at Fancy Fish Games. Like the name suggests, it's an animation program that can take an image and deform/animate it. The early results look nice, and it is written entirely in HAXE/NME.
The Legend of GameDev - My new indie game dev blog, which you can read here: Davidmaletz.blogspot.com. I have already written two posts detailing how VIDE works, and plan to talk more about my future game projects and Fancy Fish Games.
I also have plans and a new design document for a revival of Aero Empire, but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up while I still haven't solidified it or started working on it. Feel free to follow my blog for updates on that, as well as the current technology and games of Fancy Fish Games!
The Menu / AE Test allows you to download and run Aero Empire's current engine, with options to enable and disable effects, and tweak the environment...
The Model Viewer tool allows entire scenes to be viewed using Aero Empire's rendering engine.
um, is there a beta or alpha released for this? I'm really exited about it.
The initial game (planned to release end of 2010) will be free to download and play. However, the cost of expansions and the sequel are undecided.
great! I love this game so lookin forward to it! So glad to see that there is a good indie game you don't have to pay for!
We're crunching to finish a fighter combat demo right now. Our target release date for this is either Christmas or sometime in January, provided we don't hit any major setbacks.
Ships below the twilishpere in expansions, eh?
How about submarine types?
Designing a craft to fly in the Twilisphere would take some thought. The Twilisphere is super-dense, yet non-liquid, an environment never explored in a video game or even in the real world to my knowledge. The only place like it is the lower atmosphere of Venus.
Such an expansion isn't even on our radar at the moment. Like any zero-budget indie project, our main goal is simply getting the game working and finished with as few problems as possible.
We're trying to keep from getting ahead of ourselves; a game this ambitious will only be finished if we take it a step at a time.
Im starting to love this more and more :D
Okay, thanks. Really interesting though.
Wow, I am really stunned by what you are trying to accomplish, and by the look of it, this is going to work! Hell, if you really wanted too, you could go commercial on this game.
This is like, revolutionary. I had a similar idea myself once, just with trees instead of mountains. I may even learn to code just to help! P.S. newb question, what code?
please excuse that comment i was getting a bit exited
That's ok! Comments like that are nice and help motivate us. It's great to hear that people are as excited about this game as we are.
As for your question about what code - did you mean what programming language? Aero Empire's game engine was written from scratch in C++ - but if you're learning programming, just learn programming principles, and you'll be able to pick up new languages easily (just have to learn new syntax), so you wont be restricted based on what languages you know.
My god it just gets better and better. I was getting scared between updates. :C
This is the sort of game I've been longing for over several, several years. I have "some" experience writing, but nothing I can really show off, but let me know if you need anything, and I'd be more than willing to throw some stuff your way, guidelines dependant, of course. In any case, I'm excited as all get-out about this game! MP especially will be wonderful no matter how you handle it, I'm sure!
This looks like a great idea :) I hope you guys have the best of luck with this as its an amazing idea :)

I am assuming that whoever is reading this right now has had a dream before. Am I right? But have you ever had a dream with a person in it whom you have never seen before in your life? It may seem that way, but it is impossible. It is believed that the human brain is incapable of "creating" a new face. Every person you dream of has been someone you have either known personally or merely came across looking through your friend's Facebook photos. Even those whom you do not consciously notice but still look at as you pass by may be an implanted image in your brain and show up later when you are dreaming.
Sigmund Freud is most famous for his definition and study of dreams. He taught about the unconscious and based it on repression and how some ideas and events in one's life are repressed and brought up later in life. Freud believed in a cycle where these repressed ideas remain in the mind while removed from consciousness. They reappear and become a part of our consciousness only at specific times, for example, in our dreams.
A Bad Joke Won't Fool The Brain
I think I'm funny. Some people say I'm funny. But when the moment presents itself where its my time to shine, all lights on me, this 'one' is going to be a knee slapper…nope, not so much. The first time I realized I wasn't funny was in the eleventh grade in my calculus class. My teacher's name was Mr. Butke and he easily is ranked in my top 3 'all-time' of the math professors I've encountered in my lifetime. He had a mustache that covered his mouth and you never knew whether he was smiling, smirking, or grimacing at you. It kept you guessing, I liked that. He also presented stories of how he slayed cobras in Kenyan villages while pursuing a multi-purpose cure for malaria, encephalitis' of sorts, and maybe AIDS. Bottom line, he was memorable and his stage presence resonated with my classmates and I.
The Numbers are All in Your Head
Numbers. Those arithmetical values that allow us to analyze and measure our surroundings. Without them, our understanding of the world we live in would be far less interesting. But what may be even more interesting is the way we process those numbers and how closely related that process is to spatial reasoning. The connection between space and numbers, specifically how we materialize values in our heads through mental number lines has been studied over the years, revealing that spatial orientation is incredibly important to this hypothetical number line. One study led by cognitive neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene investigated how number magnitude is spatially organized in our minds and introduced the phenomenon of Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes, or the SNARC effect for short.
The Human Bias
Philosophers since the time of Plato have considered the extent to which we can truly perceive the physical world, or the so called 'mind independent' universe. Modern science has given us further insight into the question, through experiments designed to understand the way in which our brain receives and manipulates sensory information. While it has been known for some time that human perception is subject to various priming effects and spatiotemporal biases, psychologists at the University of California, Berkeley have discovered that visual perception is also influenced by something called the 'continuity field.'
To put it simply, the continuity field is what allows us to view our surrounding environment as a continuous perception. In his recent article in Nature Neuroscience, David Whitney and his colleagues have shown that our perception of the orientation of a certain object in our visual field is actually strongly biased towards the orientation of that object 10 seconds prior. This means that our brain 'smoothes out' small changes in the physical world so that we perceive a continuous image. Without the influence of this continuity field, we would be hypersensitive to the smallest changes in our visual field, and presumably have trouble determining which changes in our surroundings would be most relevant to our immediate needs.
New Research Suggests a Prenatal Cause and a Possible Treatment of Autism
For years, the brain of a child with autism has been a mystery. Doctors and parents wondered about the cause of autism, and it seemed that they would never get those answers. Autism is characterized on a spectrum with various expressions of difficulty with social interaction including difficulty with verbal and nonverbal communication. Children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder, the official title of 'autism' after the May 2013 publication of the DSM-5) are associated with difficulties with motor coordination, attention, intellectual disabilities, and physical health problems like sleep and gastrointestinal problems. Autism is usually presented by age three and the process of diagnosing autism continues to change, according to the Autism Speaks foundation.
Dr. Thomas R. Insel, director of NIMH at the NIH says that "while autism is generally considered a developmental brain disorder, research has not identified a consistent or causative lesion." The newest reports show that the architecture of the autistic brain is "speckled with patches of abnormal neurons." In the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, there is evidence that the brain irregularities of children with autism are due to abnormal prenatal development.
Reopening Our Critical Period as Adults
Ever wonder why children can learn certain things, such as languages, faster than adults? There is a time in every human's life called the critical period, and it takes place during the most intense period of development, childhood. During this time a child's brain has high neuroplasticity, almost like a sponge. Many new pathways are formed as the child experiences new things. It has always been believed that when our critical period ends it never comes back but recent study has been done with the drug Valproate that increased neural plasticity in adults and may have reopened this critical period.
Valproate is a drug most commonly used for bipolar disorder and epilepsy. It is also known to inhibit an enzyme called histone- deacetylase, or HDAC. HDAC is an enzyme in the brain that slows down neural plasticity. Inhibition of this enzyme by Valproate allows the reopening of pathways in the brain, increasing neuroplasticity, thus reopening the critical period.
Visual Deprivation Could Improve Hearing in Adults
Most people are familiar with the idea that people who are blind have better hearing than those with normal vision. It was formerly thought that this compensation for lack of vision could only develop in the brains of the very young. However, new research conducted at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University suggests that the brain may be more flexible than previously believed.
In the study, researchers kept one group of healthy mice in total darkness for a week, and exposed the other group to natural light for a week. Then the team used electrodes to measure activity in neurons in the mice's primary auditory cortex. This is the part of the brain that processes how loud a sound is and its source. By analyzing this data, researchers found that the mice who were exposed to a week of darkness had much better hearing than the control mice.
This suggests that the circuits that process sensory information can be re-wired in the brains of adult mice, even after the early critical period for hearing. These findings seem to contradict the idea that once the critical period for hearing is past, the auditory system doesn't respond to changes in an individual's soundscape.
Pregnant Women Fit Between Everyday Obstacles
Pregnancy is…? This sentence can end in a multitude of ways depending on whose answering the question. If I ask the 'teen-mom-too-good-to-be-true-seventeen year-old-boyfriend' who isn't worried about nothing, then he'd probably say…well I would've asked but he just stormed off in his 92′ Bronco. You know, the one with the flames on the side? If I ask the nervous husband who has been day dreaming of becoming that perfect family man ever since he got into the relationship, then he'd probably say: If it's a girl, I will be the dragon that protects my princess' castle. If I ask the soon-to-be-BIG-brother whose busy doing doughnuts in his fisher price corvette yelling "look mom, no hands," he'd probably say: This doesn't change the cookie rations, does it? And finally if I ask the pregnant mother-to-be if she thinks she's gained weight what she's praying for, she'd probably say: Just not your father's personality, PLEASE, not your father's personality.
Pregnancy is engaging. It brings together families, can tear relationships apart, and creates changes in the daily routine. Most notable is women's change in body size. Bodily size and the awareness of that size can create multiple obstacles. Typically, pregnant women are thought to be inhibited in their ability to adapt to these obstacles, however, pregnant women are just as capable as non-pregnant individuals. Today, we'll discuss their ability to asses depth perception and whether or not they can fit through openings such as doorways. Thanks to perceptual-motor-recalibration, pregnant women are just as good at adjusting their spatial awareness of their environment to match their constantly changing bodies.
The Polygenetic Basis of Mutations in the Development of Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder often presented in patients by abnormal thought processes, impaired emotional responses, and negative symptoms. As a chronic disorder that affects ~1% of all people, schizophrenia can be have debilitating effects on patients, especially on their social lives. Due to the lack of knowledge on its pathophysiology and also the heterogeneity of the symptoms, it has been increasingly important to understand the genetics of schizophrenia.
Due to the marked reduction in fecundity seen in schizophrenic patients, the high heritability of the disorder pointed to the possibility that genetic alleles that were risk factors might occur as de novo mutations. Previous exome sequencing studies showed no promising results, but the inconclusive results were likely due to small sample size and a narrow focus on target genes. Two recent studies, the largest of their kind, gathered data from nearly 7000 people (nearly 3500 patients) from Sweden and Bulgaria, and showed that genetic effects on schizophrenia seemed to be very complex. Specifically, both papers published in Nature reflected on the implication of genetic mutations in clusters of specific proteins that governed signaling networks dealing with learning and memory. The studies identified the presence of de novo mutations, often nonsense mutations, notably in genes related to the PSD (post-synaptic density of dendrites), the calcium channels, the postsynaptic ARC complex, and the NMDA receptors.
The Power of Meditation
When the word meditation comes up, people usually think of Monks or Buddhists first. However, there is a reason they meditate so often; meditation does wonders for your brain, and here is how.
There are two main types of meditation: 1) Focused-attention meditation or 'Mindful meditation' and 2) Open-monitoring meditation. In Mindful meditation, you focus on one specific thing ranging from your breathing, a specific sensation in your body, or a particular object in front of you.The key point is to focus on one thing without consideration to other thoughts or events happening around you. When any distractions occur, you must be quick to recognize it and turn your focus back to your focal point. Open-monitoring meditation is where you pay attention to all the things happening around you but you do not react to them.

Plexus Slim Review Series 2
Week 3
Plexus Slim has helped me get started in losing the weight that I have piled on since the day I said "I DO". I have splurged on many occasions, and I have had an extremely hard time to get the extra weight off on my own. I was having a hard time motivating myself to get moving and do something about all this extra fat. I am so glad to have found out about Plexus Slim. I've been on Plexus Slim for a few weeks now and have lost 15 pounds and a whole pant size. I haven't used the Accelerator yet, but I may try it next month. I drink Plexus Slim twice a day. I make sure I drink it 30 minutes before I eat my breakfast and start to drink my second one by 2:45pm. This way once I am home I don't snack awhile before I eat supper like I used to do.
It really helps to cut my appetite and also helps me not to have a desire to snack during the day or eat sweets. One day at work, after drinking my pink drink, I got so busy that I forgot to eat breakfast, and I wasn't hungry at all. I drank water for the next hour and waited to eat my lunch. Now, I fill up faster, and it is helping me to realize that I don't need to eat much food to feel full. Since I have been taking Plexus Slim, I am realizing portion control again; I am able to exert willpower over food, and I don't feel sluggish anymore after lunch. I am able to sleep much better at night, and I feel energized throughout the day. I encourage everyone to try Plexus Slim. If you can't take the Accelerator, then just try the Pink Drink twice a day like I've been doing.
ProBio5 can be used with Plexus Slim
I have recently taken the saliva test, which indicated that I have a Candida yeast condition, so I have started taking ProBio5 to get the yeast under control, and it will hopefully help propel additional weight loss. I am excited to share my success with Plexus Slim today, and in the future, I will get to share bigger and greater testimonies about myself and others that are joining me in this journey.

Enjoy your stay if you're finally coming!
Thx, I am hoping Serena will have a Bye in Round 1, so I would like to attend from Monday. So, when I arrive, I should buy all the tickets (for other days too) on Monday?
Any tips or good hotels nearby?

Shyv Zyra Wk We've had pretty good success, it's getting us close to gold, any thoughts?
Best BeatwiferNA
zyra is op as shiz, and wukong is godlike on tt. shyv can be good, but i would almost think you would want someone with more mobility, ie lee sin, jayce.
Junior Member
team comp there is just fine if i waas against them i would go straight for armor an get to zyra but prolly shoulda realyt watch out for champs like lux or lulu on their side or ez,rammus shaco mostly champs with that high mobility or speed...or enemy teams that rush for madreds that area of champs seeems about your only worry but long as you relize it should be fine an since your shyv you can tear down jungle pretty quick keeping your ult always ready plus a good flow of money from the start
Seen It All
Senior Recruiter
not a very good comp, zyra doesn't have any consistent aoe damage to help in later team fights, your team is mostly depending on wukong to get fed and carry. I suggest running rumble it would be better for fights and his ult syncs well with wukong and shyv.

A Future IPO as Exciting as Twitter
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When Facebook (FB - Get Report) went public in May 2012, I wrote A Future IPO More Exciting Than Facebook about Twitter. Now, with Twitter's public offering sure to produce some form of explosive headlines, I'm still looking ahead.
Lots of tech types -- as well as some perfectly normal people -- like to diss Foursquare as a waste of time. They argue that all it does is satisfy the narcissistic fetish of telling your friends where you are every minute of the day. If you're "checking in" at a five-star restaurant or doing something else widely perceived as cool or of the affluent, all the better.
While I would agree that an app such as Klout -- easily the biggest waste of venture capital since Webvan -- fits this self-indulging bill, I don't with respect to Foursquare. In fact, I argue that Foursquare is every bit as good as Yelp (YELP - Get Report) and could, in its own way, end up just as useful, fun and engaging as Facebook or Twitter.
Foursquare is fun. And it has gotten much better, and more useful, over the last six months or so.
There's too much focus on devices and apps that change lives or completely disrupt the way we do things. Not every app we put on a smartphone should have to serve missions as lofty (and, quite often, hollow) as giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected or providing everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers. Talk about narcissistic and self-indulging! Whatever happened to fun coupled with down-home, on-the-ground usefulness? I mean sometimes I just want to listen to The Bangles? I don't require the deep meaning I find in Bruce Springsteen and Elliott Smith. Somewhere along the way, Foursquare made the mistake of allowing itself to get typecast as "that app you use to check-in at places." While it was cool to "check in" a year or two ago, the luster faded fast. Those of us who still use Foursquare to check in are quite likely to rank high on narcissism scales or maybe we just like to compete with our friends for points.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

How can i make my website availbale, so that others can target my site for CPM campaign?
After that you can control which pages are available for CPM image ads by setting the individual ad code to Image and Text or text only.
With the "Image and Text" setting in the individual ad code you could get either PPC ads or CPM ads on that page.
With the "Text Only" setting in the individual ad code you won't get image ads obviously, but you might still get CPM text ads as well as PPC text ads, if I understand all this right.
When you are creating a site targeted campaign (CPM) through your adwords account, you get to type the website names to target your Advrt. Also, google gives a list of websites to choose from.
What should i do to make my site available in that list?
How will google deal with region/country specific sites?
I tried to target a wellknow newspaper from India, In addition to that google suggested some websites from India/Pakistan/SriLanks etc.

April 28th, 2014
In Hollywood and pop music, new couples emerge all the time at a hilarious and outrageous rate. We thought we'd pit our two new favourite duos in our latest round of "fave new couple alert". On one side of the ring are two music stars who were rumoured to have sparked up a romance at this year's Coachella and on the other end are, well, two lovable goofballs.
Pop star Katy Perry and producer extraordinaire Diplo were spotted together in New York City last week on what some is calling a date. Although this is still a rumour — Perry was also rumoured to be with rapper RiFF RAFF recently — we kinda like seeing these two together!
Elsewhere in New York, pals Jim Carrey and Spike Lee took in a Stanley Cup quarter final game and when the camera caught the two together, Carrey insinuated something raunchy. Take a jump below and watch the funny video! Of course these two Hollywood stars are not dating, but we just thought these two were a fresh, new duo that we'd like to see more of.
So take a peak at the evidence below and tell us: who's your new favourite couple?
Who is your new favourite couple?
Katy Perry and Diplo!
Jim Carrey and Spike Lee!
Here's Jim Carrey and Spike Lee chumming up at a Flyers-Rangers game.
Is that BJ Novak next to Katy Perry and Diplo?

sejuani hands down, never seen one win, ever.
Alex Dude
well definitely gonna get flamed for this because people aren't allowed to have opinions but here goes... Karma basically requires you to be on teamspeak because she depends too much on allies coordinating correctly and still has a cooldown issue anyway. Katarina depends too much on being able to ult uninterrupted and usually easy to kill. Leblanc doesn't have the same early game ownage and has the same late game problems in dominion as in SR (tankiness making her burst weak). Nunu does well as a W-dispenser but I just find him meh. I almost put Fiddlesticks on that list too, I find him to be easy to kill most of the time and life steal >>>> drain but his ult is good and so is his fear. Sejuani you build as tanky and at least you have an AOE stun. Yes I know she is pretty horrid and cooldowns just bad just saying it's not a forgone conclusion. So okay flame away and say how wrong I am just cause I want to make a bit of discussion instead of baaaaing like a sheep.
AP Lee Sin, AP Urgot, AP Shyvana, AP Yorick(?), AP Nocturne, AP Irelia, AP Twitch(???), AP Wukong, and any other built champ that focuses on that one move with the odd stat scaling. Then again... ad malz makes me want to cry sometimes, so feel free to prove me wrong with any of those.
Veigar with Sej as a close 2nd
Said it before, and I'll say it again. I've yet to seen Lulu win a game on either team (1800 elo pre-jabe close). Since that's still a small sample of games, I say Cho Gath. Not having stacks is a liability. Forget the spotlight. Never dying as Cho is great if you're dominating, but getting setback and not being able to recover is terrible.
In my opinion, Cho'Gath is in the worst place, but that's just my opinion. Sejuani is pretty far down there too but that's one we all know. I played Veigar a bit and he's actually fairly decent as far as mages go. Definately not the "worst," though he could certainly use some help.

How is it that everybody gets gravity readings? Everytime I brew I mix up some Sanstar and have a bucket of it for everything but to just sanitize the stuff to get a gravity reading it seems a horrible waste of water. Is there any other method to sanitizing just the tube etc. for sucking some out to measure?
When I take a gravity reading from the secondary, I only sanitize my tukey baster. It uses less than a gallon of water. - magno
I only take a gravity reading when I add to primary and at racking. This way I have other stuff to sanitize anyhow so.... no additional stuff to do really.
Sanitzers such as Star-San and Iodophor can be re-used. Store them in a covered bucket similar to your bottling bucket for several months.

Ellington ready for Rams
25 Jun 2008 - 12:34:31
Derby County striker Nathan Ellington is desperate to regain top form and help fire the Rams back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
The 26-year-old has moved to Pride Park on an initial season-long loan from Watford, having endured a torrid time with the Hornets last term.
Ellington told the Evening Telegraph: "This year has been the worst I've had as a footballer.
"My goal ratio at West Brom was still pretty good, even though I was in and out of the team. It was just when I was at Watford and I wasn't playing in the side that I couldn't score.
"It's frustrating when you're not playing, because you know you can do so much better.
"When you're not playing, people start to question whether you're the same player. But I know I'll score goals. I know if I'm given a chance, I'll find the net."

A social engineering scam reportedly traced to China fooled U.S. and British military leaders last year into "friending" a fake Facebook profile for NATO Senior Commander James Stavridis, which compromised their personal information.
Stavridis, a U.S. Navy admiral, has been a frequent target in the Facebook scheme, the U.K.-based Observer reported. Although the scam officially is of unknown origin, officials say it apparently originated in China, the Observer said.
Colleagues, including other NATO officers, who went to the fake page (which has been taken down), thought they were accepting legitimate friend requests from Stavridis, who does have a Facebook page and is a frequent user of social media.
But in accepting the request, they were exposing personal information including e-mail addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and pictures, the Telegraph reported.
NATO staff members were warned about the fake account late in 2011. After Facebook was alerted, it was taken down, the Telegraph said.The information gathered, which officials said is not likely to have contained any sensitive military information, could be used in future attacks.
The Telegraph also cited unidentified sources saying NATO officials have been told the attacks were traced to "state-sponsored individuals in China."
A spear-phishing scam via Facebook would be a relatively new twist on the practice of spear-phishing e-mails, which have become increasingly common as part of advanced persistent threat attacks on government and corporate organizations.
In February, e-mail addresses for government users taken in a hack — attributed to the group Anonymous — of the security intelligence company Strategic Forecasting were being used for spear phishing against those users.
In January, researchers at Alienvault Labs warned that a new variant of the Sykipot Trojan, which had long been used in attacks originating from servers in China, could be used in phishing attacks aimed at compromising the Defense Department's Common Access Cards.
China is increasingly being seen as a U.S. adversary in cyberspace, being suspected of or blamed for attacks ranging from those on RSA Security and Google, cyber-spy attacks against the chemical industry, and the attacks against dozens of government agencies and corporations in the Operation Shady RAT campaign.
