For the price I expected more! It dries well but leaves LINT ALL OVER! Yes, I've washed them--TWICE to see if the lint would stop. No avail. In addition, the towels are not soft! Average towels, save your money!!
I feel the towels are to thin. They did not improve with washand drying. I feel they are a . poor value. I would not recommed them nor do I consider them Egypian quality.
However, you get what you pay for and these towels are not the greatest... Not as soft as I had hoped.
These towels are slightly coarse right out of the bag--a quick wash and they are ultra soft and fluffy. Even better color than we expected (we went with the gold). Very happy with purchase.
Although not as thick as I would like, these towels (after the first wash) seem more than adequate for every day use. I would not present them as guest towels but for me and the family, they are good enough and the price was fair.
Great quality towels.. Washing and wearin beautifully.
Great value. After the second or third wash they feel really good on the skin and the color still looks good. I would buy them again.
definitely a good purchase.
Colors are as shown and towels are as thirsty as expected. Pretty good buy
They are plush and absorbent and don't pucker at the ends

Baby gender reveal gone wrong [Video]
Posted By Vamien McKalin On March 31, 2014 @ 2:52 AM In Miscellaneous | 13 Comments
Things didn't go as planned and this little boy is losing his shit – oops, I forgot some of our readers don't like it when I say "shit." Ahh crap, I did it again; when will it end? Anyway, the father wasn't all happy about it either, just listen to his response.
The only boy and 3 sisters? I'd be pissed off too. Luckily, I only have 6 brothers and 2 sisters, and a possible third somewhere out there but no one is really sure due to family secrets.

Car ThievesSubmitted by Guestaround (not verified) on Tue, 03/29/2011 - 4:42pm.
Kudos to law enforcement who was patrolling around that night and caught these thieves. They hit us twice within three months - took mail from the neighborhood mailboxes - ripped open all the Christmas cards looking for money I guess. I don't lock my car in my driveway as I have nothing of value in it, but they certainly rifled through everything looking for something. They took lots of stuff from other cars in the neighborhood. Hubby sure did wish he could have been the one to catch them. Had a 9 iron with their name on it. »

JConcepts over-tray is snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached in the front with screws and a body clip in the rear for easy access. The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations.When racing on a loamy or top soil track surface the inside of the Slash chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional over-tray. Fitting nicely under the body; the JConcepts over-tray hugs the outside dimension of the Slash chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions.
* Original JConcepts simple design and function
* Durable clear polycarbonate material can be painted or wrapped
* Plenty of clearance for various electrical and battery configurations
* JConcepts - World Proven Innovation and Design
Length: 400mm (15.75")
Width: 190mm (7.5")
Height: 75mm (3")
It is better than i thought but it does not fit tight to the chassis
The cover works as it is supposed to but the only thing I do not like about is that to disconnect my battery or turn my ESC on and off you have to remove the cover-tray unless you cut big holes on it. It also prevents airflow to the ESC to cool it off.

Anna Kournikova in Haiti, Day One: Child Survival
A number of you have expressed appreciation for Kevin Doyle's posts on his trip to Haiti with Population Services International and PSI spokesperson (and former international tennis sensation) Anna Kournikova. To keep PSI's work in Haiti and throughout the world front and center, Anna was kind enough to allow the Daily Traveler to re-publish reportage which originally appeared on her Web site. Read day one of Anna's dispatch below:
I want to tell you all about my trip to Haiti, as it was such a moving and life-changing experience for me. My trip was with PSI (Population Services International), and their Five and Alive/Youth AIDS programs which help to improve the lives of kids around the world, ages five and under, by educating and helping their families to prevent causes of death such as AIDS, malaria, malnutrition and diarrhea (caused by unsafe drinking water).
First, I'd like to thank the PSI staff for giving me this incredible opportunity to visit Haiti, so that I could experience daily life there. They've been absolutely wonderful and I hope to have more trips with them in the future.
As I'm sure most of you are aware, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and it's been extremely difficult to try to describe and express what I saw while I was there.
You can read all the statistics on paper, see pictures of the kids and families that are there and see pictures of all the destruction that occurred during last year's hurricane season, but all that information fails to tell the real story of the people that live through it every day. It is completely devastating and difficult to process in one's mind. It becomes even harder to understand when you realize that Haiti is only about two hours away from Florida (by plane) and how close it is to the prosperity that we enjoy here in the United States.
The purpose of my trip was to sit in and watch the programs that PSI runs in Haiti, as well as to meet local families and children and get a sense of their daily struggles.
PSI's main focuses in Haiti are AIDS and STD prevention, malaria prevention and children's health. Many people in Haiti are accustomed to regularly taking an oral rehydration solution, since they are unable to become hydrated from the unsafe drinking water that exists in the cities and towns there.
Forget about running water, Haiti has no real infrastructure, so they dont have sewage systems or any water purification systems. The only source of water for most people, especially those in rural areas, comes from rivers and rainwater, which are often polluted and are two major sources of disease in Haiti.
PSI runs two programs in Haiti that educate people and help distribute both a water purification system called Dlo Lavi and an oral rehydration solution for children called Sel Lavi. I was able to sit in on some of PSI's incredibly educational meetings and it was amazing to see first-hand what a great job they do there.
For me personally, I've seen poverty before, that wasn't what shocked me the most. Having grown up in Russia, where 20 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, I've seen kids running around barefoot because their families couldn't afford shoes. What shocked me about Haiti, where 70 percent of the population lives on less than $2 a day, was just the complete lack of basic human needs, and the amazing amount of disease and sickness that is so prevalent within the population.
Diarrhea is rampant and is a major cause of infant deaths, simply due to the lack of clean drinking water. I've never seen so much trash and waste, on every street, on every single road. They don't have the systems to get rid of the waste in a proper way, not to mention recycling, so they have to burn it in the streets. There's no infrastructure or programs of any kind, whether it's plumbing, waste control, sewers, clean water, etc. It was so difficult to see those conditions with my own eyes.
In the first village that we visited, Cabaret, you could see the hair of the children turning yellow due to malnutrition; and their homes, which you can't even call homes, are often made of rocks, sticks and cardboard. Whole neighborhoods were destroyed by the hurricanes last year and so you see two families living in one 10x10 hut.
I had the opportunity to distribute malaria nets while we were in Cabaret, which was a great experience. The nets typically last about 5 years and can often protect the whole family, because they're very large and the huts that people live in are very small. So, it really doesn't take that much to protect people from malaria, it's really about educating people on the steps they can take to protect themselves.
Another problem in Haiti is that a large portion of the population is illiterate. Because they are unable to read or write, they're often taken advantage of by others who will offer $5 to purchase the labor of one of their children, so they sell their child to a slightly better off family to do chores and menial daily tasks for the family.
The poor children that are being sold into indentured servitude are called restaveks. Restaveks are often abused in every way: emotional, sexual, physical. One little restavek girl was telling us about how her family had sold her to another family when she was 8 years old and that she does everything for that family. She gets them water from the well each day, walks their kids to school (including the children that are older than she is), washes the clothes, cleans the house. She's not allowed to attend school, not allowed to have any kind of life of her own and she's being abused sexually and physically.
She comes to the PSI meetings in secret, telling the family that she's doing something else and then comes to the meetings to try and get a bit of an education and to try to find some support within her cruel daily life. A huge part of the problem is that many people, including a lot of these children, basically don't exist. They don't have birth certificates or any official documents identifying them, so they don't exist within the legal and governmental system. If these kids are being mistreated, there's no one that can help them, because they cant even prove their own identity.

WikiLeaks' Assange seeks asylum in Ecuador, an anti-press regime
(Read article summary)Assange defends the publishing of classified diplomatic cables as a right to freedom of expression, but turned to a country that has been accused of limiting press freedom in recent years.
Mexico City
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has sought refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy – and in doing so, chosen an unlikely ally.
The man who defends the publishing of classified diplomatic cables as the ultimate right of freedom of expression is turning to a government that has been accused of major declines in press freedom in recent years, according to experts.
"There has been a serious, serious deterioration of freedom of the press in the last five years in Ecuador," says Carlos Lauria, the Americas director for the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York.
The Ecuadorean foreign minister, according to the Associate Press, reported that Mr. Assange sought refuge in the Andean country's embassy in London, and is seeking political asylum.
Ecuador is now reportedly weighing the request.
Assange has been wanted for questioning in Sweden after two women accused him of sexual misconduct there during a 2010 visit. Last week the British Supreme Court said it would not reopen his extradition case, paving the way for him to be sent to Sweden.
Assange shot to international attention in 2010 with the publishing of US diplomatic cables, the largest leak of classified US documents in history.
Why Ecuador? Mr. Lauria says it could possibly be linked to the television interview Assange did with President Correa on his television show The World Tomorrow in May.

We did an overnight here on our way to the Panhandle beaches. The upper campground for RV's is level, with many treeless sites. It was quiet and the restrooms were clean. The three pools looked great, although we did not use them. All-in-all, it's a pretty good place. - MaineDon
The campground is very nice - spacious sites, well-landscaped and maintained. Nice pool and picnic area. There is even a fenced dog area. Be sure to call ahead and they will assign your site to you on the phone so you can go right to it. Then it is a short walk down a dirt road to the office to check in. Do NOT drive your RV down the road to the office as there is no real turnaround. There are activities on the weekend. The owners are friendly and constantly working on making improvements and enhancements. The campground is off the beaten path but a great place to relax and enjoy some R&R. They accept Passport America at this park so our rate reflects that discount. - dalemitchell
Stayed a week. Paid the "special show price" from the Tampa RV show. The Suwanee River was way high and flooded the lower part of the RV park. The upper park is an open field with no shade. Upper park is being expanded. Nice swimming pool, nice fenced dog play area, paved roads in the park. Food available on weekends. Some full timers. If you ride a motorcycle, the short dirt road to the park can be VERY slick after a rain storm. - TH travelers

Posted August 25, 2014
One thing I truly enjoy about my job as chief candy curator at A Real Treat is the opportunity to talk with our customers, to get feedback, to hear what they love, but also what they are missing. Over the course of the past 10 months, I have had many customers ask me for options without any refined sugars but also that don't have sugar alcohols or other substitutes. Right now, we carry just a couple of products that fit that bill, and they are chocolate. Many of the requests come from moms of little candy fans who are craving a chewy sweet treat.
Well, I am never one to turn down a challenge. We went ahead and opened A Real Treat to bring you a better candy store experience. Now we are going to begin making our own candy and working our way toward products that are free of all "traditional" sugars (corn syrup, glucose tapioca syrup AND cane sugar).
Step 1: Remove corn syrup and glucose syrup from marshmallows and replace with alternatives. COMPLETE!
Step 2: Remove cane sugar. In Progress!
In the meantime, take a look at something we are prepping for the fall. Think a crisp chill in the air, maybe pulling out your sweaters, the smell of maple and bacon.

This game's a great mix of action and problem-solving.
Visually the game is very crisp, clean, and quite frankly the best-looking Live Arcade title we have seen yet.
This title brings back all the memories of Marble Madness but with countless alterations and improvements.
I love this game. It's one of those games that when you just don't want to play anything else, or your tired of the racing and sports games, this is something you can turn to that is fun yet challenging. And playing online is a blast.
An absolutely incredible value. For just ten dollars you get sixty stages of marble rolling fun, plus a full Xbox Live multiplayer mode playable with up to eight players. The graphics are outstanding, the soundtrack is good. Everything controls exceedingly well, and the controls are solid.
An excellent "Marble Madness" clone. It is all about skill. A few more levels and multiplayer modes would not have hurt, though. [Mar 2006]
At 800 Microsoft points (about $10 USD), Marble Blast Ultra is a solid game with some refreshing gameplay ideas for those who have grown weary from this years recycled arcade titles.
Part puzzle game, part platformer, and part competitive multiplayer action title, Marble Blast Ultra is a good value for players wanting a quick dosage of fun without getting tied up into a marathon gaming session.
This title brings back all the memories of Marble Madness, but with countless alterations and improvements. There are a few things I wish could be improved, such as the camera and music, but these shouldn't prevent you from spending the $10 for all the content this game provides.
Marble Blast Ultra is not just a lot of fun to play; it's(dare we say it?)a blast. [Jun 2006, p.60]
Marble Blast Ultra is easy to learn and simple to play, but the increasingly difficult progression of puzzles always manage to throw something new and challenging your way with each new level.
The single player levels start off simple enough but become almost epic in scope (well, for a marble game!) later on.
It has plenty of replay value in terms of getting higher scores on the leaderboards and acquiring achievements, plus the multiplayer adds some additional game time.
Sure, it's not going to win awards for its longevity, but its instant playability and rampantly addictive qualities make is damned near irresistible. A fitting update to an enduring classic.
The real pay-off of Marble Blast Ultra is in the swear-inspiring multiplayer.
Too addictive. [Issue#5, p.120]
For 800 points, this is near essential.
While the game would have benefited from more enhanced graphics and sound effects, it's a solid title. It's fun and addictive and offers a chance to not just complete the single player and be done but compete against friends and others in a faster paced setting.
Be careful though, rolling the marble is so addictive that 30 minutes will go by before you know it!
Overall the question of the day is whether or not this upgraded version of Marble Blast and distant cousin of Marble Madness is really worth your 800 points. To be honest, due to the addictive nature of the gameplay and the set up of the multiplayer, dropping the money for this download is a no brainer.
The multiplayer is probably the best part of this game. It combines simple fun and "pick-up-and-playability" very well.
A fun game for what it is. Rolling a ball, or marble only can be entertaining for so long. You really need patience and enjoy rolling puzzle games to get into this for the long run.
This is a great looking arcade game with a very solid feel to the gameplay. It's appeal is definitely retro in terms of the game's simplicity, but lends itself to Live multiplayer brilliantly.
A fantastic title for the Xbox Live Arcade because it's easily accessible and a game you can spend hours or minutes on.
While Marble Blast Ultra is an entertaining distraction, it's not much more than that. There are plenty of unique physics to how the ball performs on different surfaces and flies through the air, lots of different textures you can apply to the marble with distinctive, appealing effects, and a few cool sound effects, but the game will get old faster than you'd like.
Offers a decent challenge, but boring multiplayer a lack of variety drag it down a bit.
This is a very nice action puzzle game but after completing the 60 levels, there would not be a lot for me to return to except to play on LIVE, which in turn is quite hard to do as you can't find many human opponents what with so many other good 360 titles available.

text: I use my Tele Elmar 135 quite often and absolutely love it. Did own a Hektor a while back but it was a fight and not worth it most of the time. All 135s, aside from the Hektor, are fabulous lenses and dirt cheap today (not the newer APO obviously).

Their is a bug i discovered while playing against a kogmaw, i built a thornmail because he was playing a full AD kogmaw, however, every time he auto attacked, his auto attack dealt magic damage instead of physical damage, and because of this, thornmail was completely useless against him, this is a bug that makes other players unable to counter him. Riot should see this immediately.
Senior Member
Only Kog'Maw's W changes his autoattack to magic damage. It's an autoattack modifier, giving increased range and magical damage. His original AD should, logically, remain physical, however Thornmail is not a good counter to Kog'Maw. Also, death recap is inaccurate.
I had magic resistance , Armor on a tanky olaf, and i die in a few hit by a kogmaw in a 3 v 3, that is ridiculous, riot needs to do something about it.
thats because its a fed kog'maw. rule of thumb - anything fed becomes OP, even soraka could make her whole team immortal when ultra fed. lets put it in logical troll sense: OP = Over Powered feeding = you're powering up your enemy hence - fed(past tense of feed) = OP note: you knew he was doing magic damage so why you no built MR then? heh. heh. heh.
kavinh the third
um his w does damage by percentage it's not melee damage either
Olaf gains 22.5 magic resist at level 18 like other bruisers (1.25 per level). Still gonna hurt though.
It just sounds like you're assuming he went AD because of the damage his auto-attacks were doing. Traditionally with Kog you get magic penetration, Malady, Wit's End and Madred's. He does magic damage almost exclusively; even if you get a decent amount of magic penetration he will chew through you. Also because his base damage is actually quite tiny, Thornmail would hardly have an effect on him.

I think that many Americans have known for a long time that indulgent, Helicopter-style parenting leads to entitled children. Of course, when it's spelled out that way, the truth seems implicit and obvious, but it's a truth that's been lost on a generation of middle class parents who only wanted their children to avoid all of the discomforts that they experienced, and to have all of the advantages that they never had. While that sentiment is certainly one that anyone can empathize with, it seems like we've finally reached a point where public angst over the consequences of entitlement has boiled over into the mainstream. Whether in the form of Amy Chua's strident promotion of the other extreme, or my own endorsement of a more balanced approach, a growing chorus of voices is arguing that children need not and should not be sheltered from adversity.
The latest proponent of this view is Lori Gottlieb of The Atlantic, who argues in "How to Land Your Kids in Therapy" that over-attentive, coddling parents are, despite their best intentions, destroying their kids' chances at a normal life by being too concerned with their short-term emotional well-being and never letting them experience failure. By the time these children become adults, they've become so attuned to the implied message that they're entitled to a perfect life that they have trouble dealing with normal, everyday levels of adversity. Because their Helicopter parents always praised them for the slightest accomplishments, and allowed them to quit their sports or musical instruments as soon as they lost interest, they never developed the drive and perseverance necessary to succeed in the real world.
These points are very similar to the ones I made in Our Entitled Children: An American Tiger Mom's Story, and I'm glad that more and more parents are coming around to the idea that the more you shelter your children, the worse off both of you will be when they grow up. But while lots of attention plus low expectations is indeed a toxic mixture, I disagree with Ms. Gottlieb that the problem is too much parenting and emotional support in general. That's sliding dangerously close to Tiger Mom territory. Rather than backing off and becoming less "attuned" to their children's needs, I think that parents just need to refocus their energies on more productive avenues. You can and should support their hobbies and interests, but also make it clear that once they start something, they have to finish it. Praise their effort and give them abundant love and support, but also set and enforce high academic standards. Let them have the things that they really want if you can afford them, as long as you teach them how to save and earn money so they can buy it themselves in the future. In short, it's ok to be attentive to your children's needs as long as you balance it out with high expectations. And yes, let them experience failure once in a while, and they'll see that it's not the end of the world.
That's how an American Tiger Mom does it.

The William Wrigley Jr. Company is a company headquartered in the GIC (Global Innovation Center) in Goose Island, Chicago, Illinois.[1] The company was founded on April 1, 1891, originally selling products such as soap and baking powder. In 1892, William Wrigley, Jr., the company's founder, began packaging chewing gum with each can of baking powder. The chewing gum eventually became more popular than the baking powder itself and Wrigley's reoriented the company to produce the popular chewing gum.
The company currently sells its products in more than 180 countries and districts and maintains 140 factories in various countries and districts, including the United States, Mexico, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, New Zealand, the Philippines, Czech Republic, Germany, South Africa, Argentina, Tanzania, Tunisia, Somalia, North Korea (the only US enterprise there[citation needed]) France, Kenya, China, India, Taiwan, Poland, and Russia.
In 2005, Wrigley purchased the Life Savers and Altoids businesses from Kraft Foods for US$1.5 billion.[2] On January 23, 2007, Wrigley signed a purchase agreement to acquire an 80 percent initial interest in A. Korkunov for $300 million with the remaining 20 percent to be acquired over time. On April 28, 2008, it was announced that Mars, Incorporated would acquire Wrigley for approximately $23 billion.[3] Financing for the transaction was provided by Berkshire Hathaway, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. Berkshire Hathaway holds a minority equity investment in the Wrigley subsidiary.
The Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue, one of Chicago's most well known landmarks on the Magnificent Mile, still belongs to the company, but has not been Wrigley's headquarters since 2005.
In 1891, 29 year-old William Wrigley Jr. (1861–1932) came to Chicago from Philadelphia with $32 and the idea to start a business selling Wrigley's Scouring Soap. Wrigley offered premiums as an incentive to buy his soap, such as baking powder. Later in his career, he switched to the baking powder business, in which he began offering two packages of chewing gum for each purchase of a can of baking powder. The popular premium, chewing gum, began to seem more promising.
After the death of William Wrigley Jr., his son Philip K. Wrigley (1894–1977) assumed his father's position as CEO of the Wrigley Company. Wrigley is most well known for his unusual move to support US troops and protect the reputation of the Wrigley brand during World War II, in which he dedicated the entire output of Wrigley's Spearmint, Doublemint, and Juicy Fruit to the US Armed Forces. Wrigley launched the "Remember this Wrapper" ad campaign to keep the Wrigley brands on the minds of the customers during times of wartime rationing.[2]
In 1961, Philip K. Wrigley handed control to his son, William Wrigley III (1933–1999). Wrigley led a strategic global expansion through the establishment of Wrigley facilities in nine new countries.[2] On June 26, 1974, a Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio installed the first bar code scanning equipment. The first product to be scanned using a Universal Product Code (UPC) bar code was a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum.[4] (This pack of gum is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.) During the late '70s and early '80s, Wrigley began advertising a new gum, Extra, which followed the new trend of sugar-free gums in the US.[2]
William "Bill" Wrigley IV (1963–), following the death of Wrigley III (his father), led the sugar-free gum campaign across Europe, Australia, Spain, India, and China.[2] In 2005, Kraft Foods sold the Life Savers and Altoids businesses to Wrigley in exchange for $1.5 billion as part of a reorganization plan.[5] Wrigley led the establishment of the Wrigley Science Institute (WSI) in 2006 to study the oral health benefits of gum chewing. The WSI investigates the effects of gum chewing on weight management, stress relief, concentration, and oral health.[2]
On October 23, 2006, William D. Perez (1948–) succeeded Bill Wrigley as CEO. He was the first person outside the Wrigley family to head the company. In 2007, the company debuted 5 Gum in the US. The 5 Gum brand was marketed using cinematic TV commercials portraying "What it feels like to chew 5 Gum". Perez led the efforts of improving slimmer packaging (Slim Pack) with flavor improvements across both Extra and Wrigley brands.[2]
Dushan Petrovich (1954–) succeeded Perez. In 2009, Wrigley's Global Innovation Center received the LEED Gold Certification through Wrigley's commitment to global sustainability. In the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Wrigley was the Official Confectionery Supplier of the games, in which the company sported Olympic-themed packs and products.[2]
Martin Radvan (19??–) became the CEO of the Wrigley Company after Petrovich. He has over 25 years of experience at Mars. He is responsible for the company's worldwide strategy, operations and business performance.[6]
Thomas Wrigley Jr. Inherited the family fund and as of 1 July 2014. Wrigley Jr becomes non-executive director of Wrigley's holdings worldwide.
In some countries, xylitol is used to sweeten gum instead of aspartame. By avoiding sugar, the chance of tooth decay is lowered, since the sugar otherwise used may turn into acid after chewing the gum. It is also claimed that in chewing, it may help to remove food residues. Xylitol based products are allowed by the US Food and Drug Administration to make the medical claim that they do not promote dental cavities.[7]
Wrigley temporarily halted production and sales of its new Alert energy gum as the Food and Drug Administration investigates the safety of caffeinated-food products.[8]

Zhang, Y.H. and Reese, J.M. (2003) Gas turbulence modulation in a two-fluid model for gas-solid flows. AIChE Journal, 49 (12). pp. 3048-3065. ISSN 0001-1541

Recent rapid progress in the theoretical and experimental study of turbulence modulation has led to greater understanding of the physics of particle-gas turbulence interactions. A new two-fluid model incorporating these advances for relatively dilute gas-solid flows containing high-inertia particles is established. The effect of aerodynamic forces upon the particulate stresses is considered in this kinetic theory-based model, and the influence of the particles on the turbulent gas is addressed: the work associated with drag forces contributes to the gas turbulent energy, and the space occupied by particles restricts the turbulent length scale. The interparticle length scale, which is usually ignored, has been incorporated into a new model for determining the turbulent length scale. This model also considers the transport effect on the turbulent length scale. Simulation results for fully developed steady flows in vertical pipes are compared with a wide range of published experimental data and, generally, good agreement is shown. This comprehensive and validated model accounts for many of the interphase interactions that have been shown to be important.

Inverness CT V Hibernian at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium : Match Preview
Inverness CT V Hibernian - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Butcher hopeful over Warren
Inverness manager Terry Butcher is hopeful of having Gary Warren back for the Scottish Premiership clash with Hibernian.
The centre-back missed the League Cup win over Dundee with a knock but Butcher revealed he was "making progress".
Two other unnamed players face fitness tests but Butcher revealed they were both confident of making the game.
He added: "We are unbeaten at home, three wins out of three, and that's something to really hang on to and improve, and that's what we want to do."
Hibernian midfielder Owain Tudur Jones comes back into contention after overcoming a groin injury.
Hibs are otherwise unchanged although Paul Cairney is set to step up his comeback from an ankle injury with some under-20 action this weekend.
Daniel Handling (foot), Tim Clancy (groin) and Alex Harris (ankle) also remain out.
Hibs lost 3-0 on their last visit to Inverness in December last year and defender Ryan McGivern feels victory in the Highlands would be a real boost to their season.
"There are not many tougher games than away to Inverness," the former Manchester City player said.
"You know what you're going to get, they are a tough side to play against. They showed that last season when we went there and got beaten quite comprehensively.
"They have been on a good run but so have we and there is a lot of confidence in the group at the minute.
"The boys are buzzing and really looking forward to it. If we go up there and get a result, a lot of people will maybe pay attention and see that we are going to be a bit of a force this season."

The kiosk text is available in Spanish, Vietnamese, and Navajo, in addition to English. An average of 40 to 50 people access each kiosk daily for information. The specific interest in Medicare information varies from location to location, with approximately 20 inquiries about Medicare of a monthly total of 3,335 (<1 percent) at the Wal-Mart kiosk, compared with 225 of 2,733 (8 percent) at the Social Security office kiosk. SSA staff will evaluate the kiosk program in 1996 for possible replication in other areas and are also talking about making the kiosk software available for replication to other states (Georgia and North Carolina) that maintain, or that are thinking of developing, their own kiosks.
Healthtouch is a touch-screen computer housed in a kiosk that contains a database on medications, health, and lifestyles. Healthtouch computer kiosks are located in about 1,500 retail pharmacies throughout the United States as a value-added service of Cardinal Health, a Columbus, Ohio-based pharmaceutical distributor. Using the touch screen to select a topic and specific files, a consumer can retrieve, read, and print out information on various topics. Most topics are in a question-and-answer format, and many are available in English and Spanish. Organizations such as the American Heart Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the SPRY Foundation contribute files to the database on topics of interest to older adults. Information on the topic of managed care is available under the category ''health information." On the basis of research conducted by Health touch in the first quarter of 1994, consumers accessed the database 1.35 million times, printing out information to take with them in more than 60 percent of the cases. About 35 percent of the users were age 65 and over.

Whoops: AP retracts story about Rand Paul statement, blames faulty transcript
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Here's the obligatory "layers of fact checkers and editors" story of the day.
The Associated Press — traditionally proven to be at least as reliable as my Internet service this weekend — is now trying to kill a story about Sen. Rand Paul's appearance on Fox News Sunday. The crux of the "news" the AP was in too much of a rush to get out there was this:
Paul says people want a party that's "less aggressive on foreign policy" and drug laws. Paul says he sees voters wanting, quote, "somebody who wants to round people up, put in camps and send them back to Mexico."
Is that what Paul said? No. Via Politico, here's the AP's retraction, and the reason (bold is mine):

BULLETIN KILL. Do NOT use BC-US–Paul-Immigration. A kill is mandatory.
STORY REMOVED: BC-US–Paul-ImmigrationWASHINGTON (AP) – The Associated Press has withdrawn its story about Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., saying he sees some in the his party favoring a 2016 presidential candidate with an immigration policy that would "round up people … and send them back to Mexico." That quote was in the transcript of "Fox News Sunday" that was distributed after Paul's interview on the show. A subsequent Associated Press review of an audio recording of the show determined that the transcript had dropped the word "don't" from that quote, and Paul actually said, "They don't want somebody who wants to round people up, put them in camps and send them back to Mexico."
I'm guessing it'll take a little while for certain outlets to pull the story, especially since it's Sunday and all.
By the time the AP says they realized the error, the story was already out there. As of this moment, it still is in some places:

A sportswriter who has been writing since 2007. Have my writing spread across numerous sites, proudly have my own site at www.rugbycountry.net, Community Leader of Bleacher Rugby, most published writer on www.sportingo.com, contributor to Roar and BBC 606 forum, feature writer for Heaven's Game. I'm also the official writer for www.allblacks.com
Love rugby, but am comfortable writing about a variety of sports, including union, league, cricket, formula one, tennis, and others.
But Rugby Union remains my first love.
I think that sports, for all of their progress, still have a long way to go with the way they are run.
The game is about entertainment, but equally, as all sports rely on their public - it is about transperancy. The lack of this by some operating bodies is what affects the individual sports success.
I hope to make a difference about this one day, as I believe sport is a crucial element of our lives.
Like to write with a style "to tell a story", and take alot of pride in my researching ability. Understands the game of rugby and other particular codes and enjoy understanding it in a watch it now fashion - not a "this is like what happened 50 years ago...."
However, I am a keenly honourable when it comes to the history and statistics of a sport.
American sports adapt and evolve to keep audiences and viewers hooked, other international sports could learn alot by this.
Have a career of nearly 15 years in hospitality, with my own advice site at www.hospitalityimprovement.com, but want to also branch out into one of my great loves. A keen business enthusiast, I hope to translate my numerous skills to sports, and media.
"If you do what you love, or work in what you love, you will never work a day in your life". An adapted comment based on a sentence by Oscar Wilde - yeah, it sounds a bit wank, but it is so true. It is something I ignored for many years.
Also a budding model - I workout like a soldier - training six days a week, five of those twice a day. This itself is beginning to pay off. Even if nothing comes from this particular enterprise, it is fantastic to feel great, and know deep down you are healthy and treating yourself with respect.
Am happy to help with anyone who needs help with sportswriting.
Cheer up, it's Christmas!

Check it out please! Thanks.
Hey James,
I couldn't think of a good way to word double space/single space so an example seemed more appropriate.
Double space. Like this.
Single Space. Like this.
In terms of sentence lengths, I find, and for the most part B/R believes, that short, simple sentences get the point across more effectively.
By no means should you avoid impressive vocabulary, but generally if you can get the same point across with less words or less sentences, you should probably do so.
Thanks James. As for the question concerning dates, I go by the rule that you do not include "st" or "th" with an specified date ("Today is Oct. 19."). Hope that helps!
There is nothing I enjoy more than explaining the series comma (aka the Harvard comma).
When items are being listed, the series comma is the comma that comes before the word "and" (She loves socks, ice cream, books, and God).
A few styles call for its removal, but I'm a staunch supporter of it, as is BR.
Why am I for it? Glad you asked. One of the first rules of editing is consistency. Consistency is king.
And in that vein, since there are times when the Harvard comma is needed*, I put it in every time, for consistency.
*Example: "After winning her award, Mary thanked her parents, Tina Turner and the Pope." Without the Harvard comma, this sentence is saying that Mary's parents are Tina Turner and the Pope.
Why thank you, sir. But the honor is all mine.
Yes, staff editor means I'm contracted by Bleacher Report to edit articles to help maintain a consistent house style and format throughout the site.
Woops, sorry mate, I meant to say your the least biased writer (most unbiased writer).
Come back bro, all is forgiven, please, I'm begging you. Seriously though, your definately the least unbiased writer that I've come across in yonx.
You make sense mate, pure depth in your articles concerning rugby irrespective of which team wins or loses.
hey james
I am trying to make the cricket section more popular. So I am keeping a few awards for cricket writers. I hope you can read this
Also if possible participate
Hey James, your by far the most informative unbiased rugby writer on Bleacher Report. I'm trying damn hard recently not to comment any further on Sanjay's biased articles because if I do I'll look like having sour grapes due to the AB's performance or lack of. Again we lost due to our unforced errors although the Bok's played well. Come on Ozzie, thrash the Bok's to put Sanjay in perspective. I question whether Sanjay knows anything about tactical rugby.
hey there. i see you're a rugby fan. i was curious - what's the difference b/w rugby union and league? i was trying to research it but it didn't make much sense the way it was written. thx

That Bump in the Night? It's Just Someone Wii'ng!
Towel boy.
Nintendo of America
by Tom Loftus
Westin Hotel & Resorts guests jarred awake by nocturnal rumblings coming from another room now have something else to blame: the Nintendo Wii. This week two Westins, the Westin Times Square in New York City and the Westin Bellevue in Washington state added the video game console to their fitness centers as part of the hotel calls its WestinWORKOUT program. An additional eight Westins will receive their Wiis later in May.
Video games in the gym? Surely this must be one of the signs of the Apocalypse! But this is the Nintendo Wii, the console credited with getting couch potatoes back onto their stubby appendages--called "legs" in the pre-remote control era--thanks to its unique motion detection controllers.
Sidenote: I've played the Nintendo Wii and can vouch for the sweat (as well as the humiliation) generated in a quick match.
The "Westin Wii's" will come outfitted with Wii Sports, the title credited with causing tens of thousands of dollars of household damage nationwide as players flogged their controllers as if they were playing the Centre Court at Wimbledon, as well as Wii Fit, the platform's first exercise game. According to Nintento's Web site, Wii Fit will allow players to do everything from engage in muscle toning and flexibility exercises to checking their body mass index.
Does this signal the end of the hotel gym as we know it? More important, where do you get your towels?


text: @Krunchyman - I'm not sure what store you buy them at, but the best solution would be to buy them at a bakery. Look at it this way - when you go to a bakery, you don't have to make it at home because they make it for you. Also, you're not buying it from a store because technically speaking, a bakery isn't much of a "store". Everything is fresh, and nothing has been sitting on the counter for hours. I hope this helps.

When it comes to racing, setup and driver skill matter WAY more than the truck until you get equally skilled drivers with equally well setup trucks. There's a local guy here that is super competitive in 2wd short course running an ECX Torment just slightly upgraded (brushless motor/esc, adjustable turnbuckles and better tires).
Not saying the Jammin isn't a good truck, but if you were to give all the trucks to the same driver with them setup very well, it wouldn't be 17 seconds faster at all. |
May 15, 2012, 07:09 PM | |
I ran my slash on the track where i race my sc10 and the slash was like trying to drive a tank!So nose heavy its not really competitive with other lighter more tunable trucks.The slash is fast but in my opinion not a racer and made to look so much like the real thing that it has some big disadvantages.If you you want a fast, scale looking truck to play with get the slash! If you are serious about hitting the track its going to be like racing a toy against very good trucks!All this is just my opinion of course,good luck!
May 16, 2012, 02:20 PM | ||
All of this is before the truck or setup even comes into play. The thing is if you hand the top trucks to a new racer, you can see how EASY it is to drive, the tires have lots of grip, it slides and turns nice and stable, and is responsive enough so you feel in constant control, but it is never twitchy, this is all in dialing the setup, the truck is smoth and stable over the the bumps and jumps at that track. The last thing that really matters is what brand the truck is, as long as it has sufficient power, and enough adjustments to dial in, which the Slash, SC10 and SCTE all have. With club and local racing, there is a wide range of skill levels, and minor differences don't matter, at more competitive events, you will never qualify unless you can get most everything out of a particular vehicle, and make few if any mistakes, at this point having the "hot" race chassis simply means you are not giving up an advantage to the leaders, driving another chassis may add some benefits, but usually with a lot of expense. The slash was really the first competitive SC truck, decent power, decent tunability, and it is what most people started with when the class was new. The class grew quick, and 4x4 trucks popped up, the SC10 has a lower CG, 550 motor as opposed to the Slash's 540, and in kit form, it was cheaper to build an all out racer, and it knocked the Slash down quick. The Losi SCTE is a little heavier, but currently has the best base setup of the 3 trucks, 550 motor, lowest CG, better weight distribution, best suspension, and is far better than the others on faster tracks. There are a bunch of other trucks out now, most being less expensive, and while they can be competitive at a club race in capable hands, that is about as much as they can do, some better Kyosho or race purpouse trucks can run with the losi's, but aren't as common at least around here. The Slash takes a boatload of mods to be competitive, and the tight steering and light weight can give it an edge on tight tracks, especially with a LCG kit being the high CG of the design is it's biggest issue, but thats about it. The class is experiencing an arms race of sorts being as popular as it is, and every year a better truck comes out that gets SC closer to the truggys and buggies lap times, it's an excitin time to get into it, the most important thing is simply that you get a truck you can afford, practice your driving and setup, and go racing. |
May 16, 2012, 03:43 PM | |
My only point was directed to the guy saying his friend won by 17 seconds with a Jammin SCRT10... you're right about it being more about setup and consistency/skill than which truck it is at the end of the day, but I bet even a novice would be faster driving a higher end truck over a slash (durango, sc10, SCTE, etc, etc, etc) and would notice a difference in handling, whereas their times between the higher end trucks would be much closer, and they wouldn't notice the difference in handling as much.
