Dec 8th, 2006, 08:11 PM
Jelena :help:
please give up this meaningless exhibition ... it may ruin your 2007
Dec 8th, 2006, 08:12 PM
I don't see a point in playing this match... If she's injured she needs to rest.
Dec 8th, 2006, 08:12 PM
Good luck to Justine! Hopefully, Jelena can make a good match out of this! Good luck, to both girls! :hug:
Dec 8th, 2006, 08:14 PM
This girl is crazy for tennis and i do love it. However this might be a bad idea, I just hope she doesn't hurt herself more then she already did. She is going to be so exciting to watch in 2007
Just Do It
Dec 8th, 2006, 08:15 PM

Why the hell is Jelena playing here:confused:
Wrist injuries need wrest, especially if its something really internal that is damaged.
Just Do It
Dec 8th, 2006, 08:20 PM
Jelena is not that bad injured, thrus me...that is her story :)
Dec 8th, 2006, 08:53 PM
im surprised she's playing justine's exho considering the snide comments she made about justine's back aching during their SF at the USO.. perhaps she said those comments in haste because of sour grapes.
either way im looking forward to seeing her results in 2007, so hopefully she doesn't injure herself by playing!

Money Money Money $$$$$$$$$$
Dec 8th, 2006, 09:12 PM
if jelena has an injured wrist it's best if she does not play the exo. it could jeopardise her 2007 season if goes ahead with it & that's something she should not risk of doing.
Dec 8th, 2006, 09:17 PM
She shouldn't play. I want her to have some good rest.Come on,Janko,just give up!
Dec 8th, 2006, 09:40 PM
Jeca, please rest up!
Dec 8th, 2006, 11:39 PM
I can only hope her wrist is simply sore, otherwise she's playing a dangerous game.

I own a Sig P220 Carry .45 I want to be able to put a suppressor on it but it obviously does not have a threaded barrel. I am wondering if a Sig P220 barrel will fit in the Carry model and i can have the extra barrel threaded so it can allow a suppressor. Does anybody know how I would go about doing this? or if it even works? Thanks

Order the barrel from the same place that you're getting the suppressor from. IIRC, the P220 comes packaged with the threaded barrel and Gemtech silencer from either Gemtech or Sig.

As we all know the steelers missed out on the playoffs because the Refs failed to call a penalty vs the chargers on a failed field goal. What i want to know is, Had KC won, And the steelers won all the tie breakers, Was points scored by the opponents one of those, and if so did tomlins blocking on kick return play a factor in that tie breaker? If so Karma is a mean son of a b
Points would have never entered into the equation. In a five way tie at 8-8 Balt and the Jets would have been eliminated by Pitt and MIA, respectively, based on division record. Pitt would have won out over SD and the Jets based on conference record. Point differential and points scored is lower on the list, below record agains common opponents, etc. Pretty rare for that to ever enter the equation. Pitt didn't make the playoffs this year for a ton of reasons that had to do with Pittsburgh's shortcomings. The KC calls that were missed (and there were two per Mike Pereira) were ultimately pretty far down the list of reasons. If you do what we did early in the season you really don't deserve to be in the playoffs...that has nothing to do with the KC calls or 'karma'. (FWIW, I think the 'karma' aspect was nicely handled last week against GB, when Pitt blocked a FG ad GB ended up with a TD on a separate wacky call).
All I know is that the Steelers have not won a Super Bowl since Big Ben's rape episode in Milledgeville. Cursed and karma.
By that logic, what exactly did the Cardinals do 66 years ago? The 10 Longest Active Super Bowl Championship Droughts in NFL History And btw the Pats seem to have done just fine post-Hernandez (just sayin' :noidea. Karma's a silly concept IMO. Pittsburgh had major problems with talent and execution this year, not some cosmic, karmic force that actually cares about football. Good luck the rest of the way. I'll be rooting for NE if they play SD or Cincy, and that inevitable clash with DEN should be awesome to watch for any football fan.
the pats cut ties as soon as Hernandez was taken into custody, giving up any chance of getting bonus money back. Huge difference then giving Ben a slap on the wrist and a couple of games off. Also I thought tiebreakers, when it came down to multiple teams, it skipped over the Common opponents and such and moved to the more easily decided points scored, points against/for. Otherwise you have the whole 6 way paper scissors rock situation, few rocks, a couple of scissors, and a paper. who wins? paper beats all the rocks, rocks beat all the scissors, scissors beat the paper. you have to move beyond win/loss vs people and get into strength of schedule, and points scored. and since it was sd, jets, ravens, steelers, dolphins, and i want to say one other 8-8 for the steelers to win on tie breakers would have been deep down the list.
The Steelers and their fans have no right to complain about officiating after the fiasco that was Super Bowl XL.
I agree, especially since it was Bill Levy who blew that game, then later apologized for it. Coincidentally enough, it was also Levy who blew the call in the SD/KC game yesterday, then apologized for it today. Pittsburgh is 1-1 with blown Levy calls, but their win came during the biggest game of the year. All things considered, they didn't do too badly.
To the Pittsburgh fan that had the Pollard hit on Brady on continuous rerun gfy with those gleeful remarks underneath. One of the most sadistic fans I have come across.. Hope that one fan had a miserable day.
I think we already did get screwed by the refs this year. This isnt about the steelers getting jobbed so much as, Had everything gone their way, would tomlins actions directly have put the steelers in the playoffs.
That's not quite right. In a multiple tie for a wild card, any teams from the same division can eliminate each other as part of one of the first tiebreakers. The odds of reaching the points portion in a multiway tie is actually pretty remote. From NFL.com: Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.) Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants. NFL Tie-Breaking Procedures Sorry, probably poor form to bring Hernandez into the discussion, I was just trying to make a point that I think 'karma' is a silly concept. Just my $.02. But certainly I don't want to open a 'accused rapists vs alleged murderers' debate...that's like asking if you're "Team Hitler" or "Team Pol Pot"...not a particularly useful discussion. Anyway, carry on. You guys have had an awesome year (BB Coach of the Year?) after just a horrific offseason. I think that gets lost in the fact that we just expect the Pats contend every season, but this year is one that shouldn't get taken for granted.
Still, someone has been messing with our voodoo doll and with our karma. It has been worse than recent years.
I think there were a couple of key bad calls, and that overall the whole review system needs more tweaking (not just for the KC game but NFL-wide). But bad calls even out over time. What cost Pitt a playoff spot was atrocious play in September, lack of discipline for the first 8 weeks, and a slew of turnovers and a ton of allowed sacks. Not to mention some key injuries in already talent-deficient areas. If you have to rely on another team to get you into the playoffs (and let's face it--Pitt had to rely on *several* other teams down the stretch, so in one sense Pitt was incredibly *lucky* prior to getting unlucky in the KC game!) you really don't belong there.
Just like Brady6's famous thread at the beginning of September about which defensive player we just couldn't end up losing....people kept arguing between Mayo, Wilfork, McCourty, Talib, etc. Then we just ended up losing all of them on some level. Absolute jinx from the get-go, and I was sure to point that out :snob:

John Mayer's New Video "Paper Doll" Stars Prancercise Fitness Guru
We all thought it was a joke, but by now it's probably safe to say Joanna Rohrback's getting the last laugh. Who needs a web redemption when you have soft pop-rock god John Mayer commissioning you to star in his music videos?
Over the last five months, the world has fallen in love with local gal and Prancercise founder, whose ever-so-tight, ever-so-baggy white pant-leggings, angelic voice, and majestic fitness dance moves have become the subject of countless blog posts, memes, and TV spots.
And apparently, John Mayer is no exception.
Check out the official lyric video for the new single "Paper Doll," in which Rohrback presents "a Prance to romance to." The star sports a pair of smart black hotpants and also gives a tantalizing hint at a mysterious love interest of her own, "Jarrad Rohrback."

How Otter Creek, FL Watches TV
Here's some information about cable TV in Otter Creek, FL we here at CableTV.com think you might like. In more than one-third of U.S. homes you can find four or more televisions, in part because 97% of the population still watches regularly broadcast TV. Because 72% of all TV viewers bundle cable with Internet, it only makes sense that 48% of them stream some content online. That means 41 Otter Creek residents each own at least 4 TVs, 59 watch their favorite shows online and 89 bundle their Internet and cable services together.

text: I've been doing some testing with Gnome apps at version 3.10. My experience with them is quite minimal, but they do seem to work for the most part. Looking at gedit-3.10.0, the editing fuction works, but the appearance is dreadful. The border around the window is fine, but the padding between the border and the editing field is black. I can't seem to find a way to change that. I can change the editing field to a few themes: Classic, Colbalt, etc, but the buttons have white text on a gray field when unselected. That makes them unreadable. When highlighted with a mouseover, the buttons change to a readable background, but there should be a way to customize a bit more. Also the spacing for the drop down menu items is zero. Does anyone know how to modify the settings of apps like gedit? -- Bruce -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Day 1: Beijing – Qufu
Make your way to the Beijing railway station and board the bullet train to Qufu for a 3-hour ride on the world's fastest high-speed rail! You will be picked up by private vehicle upon arrival at Qufu East Station and driven approximately 30 minutes to your hotel, where you have the evening free to enjoy at your leisure.
Overnight: Qufu Queli Hotel in Qufu
Day 2: Qufu (B, L)
After breakfast at your hotel, meet your guide and embark on a 4- to 6-hour privately guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Temple and Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion.
First, head to the Temple of Confucius (Confucius Temple), the largest historical building complex in China. Originally built in 478 BC to commemorate Confucius, the temple has been reconstructed over the centuries and today includes 104 buildings dating from the Jin to Qing dynasties. As you explore the 34-acre (14-hectare) site with your guide, admire the structures, whose architecture resembles that of Beijing's Forbidden City. Learn about their symbolic significance, built according to Confucian philosophy and design, including the complementary hues of red walls and yellow rooftops.
Walk through several courtyards adorned with small gates and surrounded by tall green pines, just some of the more than 1,250 ancient trees planted here. Your guide will point out the impressive stelae, Han stone reliefs, carved pictures and stone dragon carvings.
Next, visit the Kong Family Mansion, located a short distance from the temple. Kong is the family surname of Confucius, and this landmark is where many of his male descendants lived and worked. Initially constructed as a small family house linked to the temple, the mansion was rebuilt east of the temple in the late 19th century and developed into an aristocratic residence, of which 152 buildings and 100,000 collections from the Ming and Qing period remain.
Enjoy lunch before a drive to Confucius Cemetery, located about 1 mile (2 km) north of Qufu in the Confucian Forest. The family cemetery contains the tomb of Confucius and the remains of more than 100,000 of his descendants. After your private tour, you'll have free time to explore some of the 452 acres (183 hectares) on your own.
Overnight: Qufu Queli Hotel in Qufu
Day 3: Qufu – Tai'an – Beijing or Shanghai (B, L)
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before a full-day excursion to Mt Tai, a mountain of cultural and historical significance. Considered one of the Five Great Mountains in China, the natural monument has been a Buddhist and Taoist ceremonial center of worship for 3,000 years due to its association with birth and renewal.
After transferring from Qufu to Tai'an, an approximate 1-hour drive, arrive at the foot of Mt Tai, located just north of the city. From here, board a tourist bus with your private guide to the halfway point on the mountain, and complete the journey to the summit by cable car. View Mt Tai's tallest peak, Jade Emperor Peak, which reaches 5,029 feet (1,533 meters) above sea level.
Your guide will take you to view the gates, grandiose temples, stone tablets and inscriptions located between the Taishan Temple and the Azure Clouds Temple. Visit the South Heaven Gate, situated at the top of some 7,000 stone steps that wind up the slopes, each offering a different view. Admire Heavenly Street (Tianjie Street), White Cloud Cave, Gongbei/Tanhai Stone and Sun Viewing Peak before lunch on the mountain or back in Tai'an.
After your tour, your guide will transfer you by private car to Tai'an Station. Here, board the bullet train and either head back to Beijing or continue on to Shanghai (depending on which option you select).

So after logging off and getting onto my mule account, I logged back in to find that lovely little red number that indicated we had a Gaia blog update. Normally, I just click and go on with my business, but this one caught my interest! It's an NPC story contest run by users! There have been past contests I haven't been aware of that are kinda user-run, but this certainly looks like something that would be great and fun to do! I think this is a great opportunity to create our own wacky stories along with some great dramas, especially with the Halloween event from last year.
I know NPC development has been something some users have been asking about for a long time. Is this the way you imagined to be even though it's user-run? I mean sure it's not the artists expanding on what the stories are, but at least we're getting some love, right? Do you believe this should become an official contest or should it stay the way it is? Do you think these stories/comics can be counted as canon or is just everyday fanfiction that doesn't actually count? But what do you think, GCD, will these stories affect our community and story lines eventually, or will they just stay there for our amusement?
It's finally open! Head here to participate!

Digital Sales Strategies to Grow More Revenue: What We've Learned About What Works and What Fails, and Why Some Are Seeing Significant Digital Growth While Others See Little
Before your sellers get through the door, chances are that prospects already know all about them, your company, and what it offers. That's because, like you, today's clients enjoy access to data -- lots of data! Digital has truly changed the sales landscape and the "rules of engagement." Yesterday, it took an average of three calls to make the sale. Today, it takes 10. How can sellers get in front of prospects those 10 times before decisions are made? When you are no longer the primary information provider, how do you redefine your role as marketer and more effectively interact with client through social media -- the ultimate anti-sales tool? This panel offers 10 key social media strategies for building stronger client relationships that lead to bigger, better sales results.

Not that long ago, the only options for listening to audio were AM/FM Radio and "Owned Music" in various formats. Today those two have been joined by Internet radio, YouTube, music channels delivered via cable and satellite television, podcasts, satellite radio, and other options. With information from Infinite Dial and other sources, Larry Rosin of Edison Research talks about where all the different forms of audio available today stand in relation to one another, how consumers decide which ones to consume at what time, and what devices are leading their decisions.

Using Technology to Dramatically Improve Advertising Sales Results
What if you could increase your station's digital billing by 20, 30, or even 40 percent without hiring new salespeople and without making more client calls? What if you could have a proven sales system that is always making sales for you, in spite of staff turnover? More than ever before, radio stations have difficulty hiring the best salespeople, especially digital salespeople. Better compensation from growth industries with higher margins, fierce competition for limited talent, flight of the "good ones" to faster fields, less time to train new sellers, and clients who are leaving radio because of frequent sales turnover are all taking a drastic toll on profitability. Technology Marketing Expert James Michelson, author of Cross Media Marketing 101, will show you how other industries are currently bringing in business, in some cases increasing sales by over 100 percent through coordinated sales efforts using Web-based tools and systems. Learn how to position your station with advertisers and avoid "cold call hell." Your competitors will never know how you're getting so much new business. This is a must-see session that will more than pay for your trip to Convergence!

Hart warning for City team-mates
| Submit Comments| Comments (21)| Printable Version1/1Play SlideshowClose MapJoe HartJoe Hart has warned his Manchester City team-mates not to dwell on the morale-sapping defeat against Everton on Monday night. The Blues missed their chance to be top at Christmas with the 2-1 loss, which took the shine off the news that Carlos Tevez was staying at Eastlands. "It is a big opportunity missed because we could have been sat at the top of the table now," Hart told www.mcfc.co.uk. "But we need to dust ourselves down and pick ourselves up because we are all obviously gutted to have lost this game." City now face a trip to Newcastle on Boxing Day, before home clashes against Aston Villa and Blackpool over the festive period. Hart added: "The games are going to come thick and fast in the next 10 days, so we can't dwell on this result for too long. "We need to go to Newcastle and get three points and then look to beat Aston Villa and Blackpool. If we do that, we won't be far off the top and we can go into the new year with our tails up." How many points will City win over the festive period? Have your say.| Submit Comments| Comments (21)| Printable VersionAdd A CommentEnter your comments:Sending

Fisher backs Cutler, has message for Ditka
September, 19, 2012
By Staff | ESPNChicago.com
Andrew Weber/US PresswireCortland Finnegan gets under the skin of opponents, but his coach loves him.
St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher visited "The Carmen, Jurko & Harry Show" on Wednesday and discussed a variety of topics as he prepares to bring his 1-1 team into Soldier Field on Sunday to face the 1-1 Chicago Bears.
Fisher, the former Tennessee Titans coach, weighed in on the Jay Cutler controversy by supporting the quarterback, who was scouted heavily by Tennessee during his days at Vanderbilt.
"By the way your quarterback is pretty good, and people just need to back off of him," Fisher said. "He's a good player.
"You think Jim McMahon shoved anyone during a game? I've known Jay a long time, he's a good player. You guys are lucky to have him as your quarterback, and he's going to win a lot of games for you."
Fisher said "we were very close" to drafting Cutler, and when asked why they didn't, he responded: "You'll have to ask (owner) Bud Adams."
Fisher, a former Bears defensive back who earned a Super Bowl ring despite being on the IR list all year, also had a message for his old coach.
"This is what I'll say to Coach Ditka. I was told that Coach Ditka was critical of (Rams defensive back) Cortland Finnegan, and very recently here," Fisher said. "I would like Coach Ditka to know if he knew Cortland Finnegan he would want Cortland to be the first guy to walk off his bus. Because he would absolutely love Cortland Finnegan."
The message will be relayed to Ditka during "The Mike Ditka Show" on Thursday at 5 p.m. on ESPN 1000.

Andy Ryan works busy days as Assistant Chief of Police for Administration of the Butler University Police Department. To support his personal wellness and exercise goals, he has been an active participant in both Healthy Horizons and the Health and Recreation Complex ever since those facilities opened at Butler.
Here is Andy's story, in his own words.
How have Healthy Horizons' annual wellness consults helped you? ~ Show response
I took advantage of Healthy Horizons from the very beginning, when it was first implemented.
I've always been pretty physically active and tried to work toward my own goals. Sometimes I've been successful-sometimes not so much. Healthy Horizons has helped me identify ways to get to goals. Staff members have gotten me to think a bit outside the box, when I'd get in a routine of exercise.
For example, if my goal was to lose weight, they've talked about adjusting how I work out. They'd say, "It's good to run for 30 minutes, but maybe you should run for 45." Or, "Maybe you shouldn't run this day. Maybe you should work on a different type of activity, do some weight training to change it up."
They've helped me develop healthier eating habits. I always felt that I have eaten pretty healthily, but sometimes I would get off track. Having the consultations with Healthy Horizons has helped me identify areas I've done well in and areas I need to improve in.
What I really like is that the pharmacists and students working with Healthy Horizons have never been judgmental or critical. They might probe a bit as to what I'm doing for exercise or eating, but I've never had anyone get on me about it. They will say, "You've done well in this area" or "Let's discuss ways you can improve on that." They are concerned in a positive way.
The other area that's been really beneficial for me has been the Healthy Horizons health screenings-checking on cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and other health issues. I've gone away from doing just the annual consults. I've been going for screenings about every three months.
I'm consistent about seeing my personal physician annually. Healthy Horizons supplements that.
How has the Butler University Wellness Stipend offered through Healthy Horizons helped with health goals? ~ Show response
I've been a member of the Health and Recreation Complex (HRC) since it opened. It's convenient. I can take my lunchtime to work out or go before work. I don't have to worry about traveling somewhere else.
I would use the HRC regardless [of the stipend]. But, as a way to defer overall costs, I think it's a great benefit from the University. It would be silly of me not to take advantage of it.
My goal is to go to the HRC five days a week, depending on what's going on with work. On average, I'm there at least three days a week, and usually work out for 30 to 40 minutes. Even in the summertime, it's not always easy to get out of the office for the time you want.
When I was younger, I did a lot of lifting. Most of the stuff I do now is cardio. I just had an appointment with Healthy Horizons a couple weeks ago, and they talked about modifying that, maybe doing more weight training to supplement the cardio.
Learn more about the Butler University Wellness HRC Stipend.
What are some obstacles you have faced in maintaining healthy habits? ~ Show response
Weight is always something I try to manage. I have stayed pretty consistent in my weight. I'd like to weigh less, but losing weight's not always easy. I'm less motivated to stay on strategic eating.
A while back, I had gone to my doctor, and my cholesterol was high, so my doctor prescribed some medication. I was taking it, and then I was able to go back to Healthy Horizons before my next annual with the doctor. They said, "Your cholesterol is fine. What have you done?"
I told them I'd lost some weight and wasn't eating certain foods. They suggested that I book some time with my doctor to confirm the numbers because they believed that I didn't need to be taking medication any longer because of the things I'd done.
What did you do to overcome those obstacles? ~ Show response
Healthy Horizons has told me weight-loss is a matter of less calorie intake and more calorie burn-off. They've discussed eating healthy throughout the day, incorporating some fruit and vegetables as a mid-afternoon snack as a way to not have so many calories.
But then, how do I modify my burn-off through working out? I do pretty good Monday through Friday, but on weekends when I'm home, things can go out the window. I still eat pretty healthy, but I don't have a regimented workout routine during weekends. So, Healthy Horizons has suggested some things I can do over the weekend to make up the difference.
What keeps you motivated? ~ Show response
My father died at a relatively young age. He was 67 and had an illness he couldn't prevent. I want to be healthier so I can hopefully live longer than that. That's a motivator for me. I come from a family history in which the majority of the men live longer than that. Genetically, that's a good thing.
Typically, it's not that I'm not motivated to go to the gym. It depends on what's going on during the day. Can I fit it into my schedule? The majority of days, I can.
For me, it's good stress release to get away from the office and be physically active.
When I've been the most successful is when I've been able to run outside. It's a different type of workout than running on a treadmill, especially in the nicer weather. It's also convenient to put on the headphones and watch television while I'm running inside.
What health tips do you have for others at Butler? ~ Show response
Plan your menu. When I've been the most successful-and it's probably the most challenging-is when I've sat down and planned a menu for all my meals for the week. It helped when it came to shopping for groceries; it helped in reaching a weight-loss goal.
Get active daily. Try to do something every day. Some Butler employees walk every day during lunch. Not everyone's job allows them to do that, but just try to carve out some time for activity.
Ask the HRC staff. If you're just getting started with exercising in the HRC and are unsure what will work best for you, take a few minutes to talk to the staff. They are very helpful. They'll work with you to start developing a program. Let them know: This is what you'd like to do as far as health goals. Ask how you can do that utilizing the equipment there. The HRC also has personal trainers, and they offer specific group programs, like their boot camps. Those would be a good way to change things up.
Find a workout partner. I had a colleague that I use to run with almost every day, but he doesn't work here any more. Having a workout partner can be a motivator, especially if you're working on the same kind of goals.

text: 05 October 2009 Amorphous steel transforms electrical efficiency Comment on this article Super efficient transformers with cores made of amorphous steel have been introduced to the UK by Wilson Power Solutions in Leeds According to Dr Lore Grohmann of Wilson Power, use of amorphous steel reduces core losses by up to 75%. Amorphous steel is normally made as a thin ribbon by pouring molten metal onto a rapidly rotating copper wheel, which quenches the metal so quickly that it solidifies as a thin ribbon of flexible glass instead of a crystalline solid. The first glassy metal was made at Caltech in 1957, but production costs have been greatly reduced and transformers with cores of wound, amorphous steel ribbon are widely manufactured in India. They cost about 50% more than conventional transformers, but the company argues that applied to a 1000kVA unit with a 70% load factor and energy costs at the terminals of £0.08/kWh, the average savings per year are 28,000 kWh. This equates to £2250 and 15tonnes of carbon emissions. Payback time is typically 30months. Very high efficiency motors and generators are also likely to be manufactured using similar technology, following an agreement between Light Engineering and Advanced Technology and Materials announced on August 21st 2009. Light engineering is headquartered in Indianapolis but manufactures in Guangdong, China while Advanced Technology and Materials is mainly initiated by the Chinese Central Iron and Steel Institute, headquartered in Beijing.

The first one of note (aside from the motionless Ken, Steven, and other of Barbie's several years' long, male standstills) is Robert Tonner's 17-inch, Russell Williams. Russell has been here since July of 2008. He has enjoyed the company of a few 15-to-16-inch dolls with Far Out Friday Foster being his current female of choice for the past six months. However, after acquiring the DID Obama action figure and dressing him in casual clothing, several other playscale (approximately 12-inch) males have entered the collection. I have developed a keen interest in these males because of the desperate, single women (my 11-1/2 and 12-inch fashion dolls) who have long desired male companionship. My most recent acquisitions have been World Peacekeepers military figures manufactured by M & C Toy Centre Ltd. After removing their weaponry, the two I chose to keep fit in nicely with my collection. Plans are to redress them in complete civilian outfits later. Prior to acquiring these males, the notion to think outside of the boxes of Ken/Steven/Brad/Jamal and other Mattel-made, stationary males never entered my mind. Until recently, I had never considered including actual male action figures into the mainstream of the collection. Who knew, except other playscale collectors, about the posing possibilities that their multiple points of articulation and stand-alone ability could create? Well, after seeing what these vinyl men can do, how well they can move, my collection of ruggedly handsome, moveable men is growing by leaps and bounds. I have a strong suspicion that as others are added to the playscale market, they too will migrate to Texas to ease the tensions of the other loose (as in deboxed), 11-1/2 to 12-inch fashion dolls, who are eager to demonstrate their twist 'n turn and pivotal moves (in a tasteful way, of course). Christie, Barbie, Opal, Emerald, Rosa and other Mattel and Mixis dolls no longer suffer from lack of male doll companionship. I attribute their glowing complexions, shining eyes, and glistening smiles to the new men in their lives. Cost of viagraTrackBack URI for this entryCost of viagraCost of viagra |

He might last to the second round , but I seriously doubt he falls all the way to the tail end of the round. Might have to move up to get him .... and Im not sure I'd be willing to give up picks to do that as there are so many needs to fill. Maybe after FA I'd be more willing to make a move up.

fix the problem of not having a linebacker with any coverage skills and it frees up our secondary. it also eliminates most of the ugly run blitz we see all game from players waiting to react to what their assignment does - since another linebacker taking keys frees up the line to attack without having to protect the secondary from spread runs.
Not necessarily true , even when Cushing was healthy they went with only one LBer as Barwin and Reed were essentially DE's and the ILB opposite Cushing was replaced by a DB.

From the Publisher
Garden books come and go each year, but the American Horticultural Society's "New Encyclopedia of Gardening Techniques" (Mitchell Beazley, $45) is essential to any gardener, newbie and green-thumbed alike.Weighing in at more than 4 1/2 pounds, this indispensable work is the latest book from the national gardening association (ahs.org) that dates to 1922. The book offers more than 2,000 illustrations and 200 color photos covering everything from the nuts and bolts of soil makeup and digging techniques to weed control, compost piles, containers, growing edibles, water gardening and garden design. What sets it apart, however, is its focus on earth-friendly, organic gardening practices.
Although it's geared to all regions of the country -- you'll find citrus trees discussed, for instance -- this hefty reference book is intended as a general resource on a multitude of gardening topics, one that will whet your appetite for more as you delve into it this winter.—Chicago Tribune

During the middle of the afternoon, Rouge was housing the master emerald in her house which she Shadow and Omega were living in. Rouge smirked at her acquired treasure but was more excited at seeing Knuckles' fury and how annoyed she could make him. Laying in the middle of the living room surrounded by several couches and tables, it started glowing a bright green.
Then it glowed even brighter as a lone figure came out of the large gem and fell to the floor. As the light settled, the figure turned into an orange girl echidna in tribal clothing from her past. It was Tikal the echidna. She shook her head in confusion as she looked around. It was not the kind of home she was used to. She stood up limping a little for she felt dizzy. "What is this place?", she asked in her head, "One minute I'm sealed in my dimension with Chaos and, a second later, I'm in some mansion". She then lost her balance and stumbled backwards. She ended up knocking a vase over on the coffee table. "Ahh", she gasped as she bent over looking at the shattered vase, "Oh no, I broke a treasure from this home". She knelled over and started picking up the pieces. She then heard footsteps behind her and a foot tapping. She looked behind her and saw a pair of white and red hoverboots tapping on the ground. She stared up and saw an ebony hedgehog with white chest fur and red highlights on his quills. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in this house?", he asked with a cold emotionless face. "Uh", she shook a little as his red eyes stared into her blue eyes "I, um, I'm Tikal... I don't know how I got here".
He then stared at the master emerald that was randomly glowing. "Well, I'm Shadow. Oh, I see.... You're from that gem", Shadow said pointing to the Master Emerald making Tikal breathe a sigh of relief knowing he understood. He actually knew because Sonic told him in one of his adventures. "The big question is", Shadow said, "What are you doing now that you broke a vase that Rouge toiled to steal". "She stole this?", she asked holding the pieces of the vase, "That's wrong". "Tell her that", Shadow said as he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. He stared at her somewhat frightened eyes but felt a slight blush on his face seeing how cute she was. Rouge the bat then entered. Shadow explained the incident and Rouge decided on a way to punish her. A few minutes later, Tikal ended up in a maid's outfit. "Why am I dressed like this?!", she shouted in an infuriated tone. "I think it suits you", Rouge smirked, "What do you think, Shadow?" He didn't look; he was flushing with a scarlet blush across his muzzle.
For the rest of the night, Tikal worked on house work while Knuckles was arguing with Rouge over her taking the Master Emerald. Tikal then entered the living room sighing as she prepared for a last minute cleaning. Her eyes widened as she saw Shadow on the couch drinking some wine in a glass. "Uh, Mr. Shadow, why are you drinking that?", she asked. "I rarely drink this", Shadow said, "Plus it seems to taste very good after its been sealed away for so long". She flushed a little as he smirked at her. She admitted that he looked pretty handsome but she was a little shy of him. She then went over towards where he sat but felt him pull her towards the couch. She ended up falling on his lap wrapped in his arms. "He feels so warm", she immediately thought as she flushed with embarrassment. He then turned her cheek with one hand on her right cheek. "You're so cute", he chuckled placing a kiss on her cheek. She shivered with pleasure coursing through her veins as his warm hands rubbed against her skin. "Sh-shadow", she moaned as her face flushed with embarrassment. He placed a kiss on her lips then turned her body around so it rested against his. All those years encapsulated in the Master Emerald and she finally met someone who set her heart aflame.

Due to a stint of disappointing earnings on Wall Street today, global economic concerns took a front seat and pulled U.S. equities to considerable losses. Against this backdrop, the number of stocks reaching new annual lows easily trumped those muscling to new highs. There were 31 new peaks -- versus 40 bottoms -- on the NYSE, while the Nasdaq tallied 20 new highs and 80 lows. Among the names charting notable moves today were Dell Inc.

Learning English at a snail's pace
A look at the BBC's efforts to help people learn English reminds the Monitor's language columnist how glad she is to be a native speaker.
Dear reader, welcome to another round of "I'm So Glad I'm a Native Speaker of English Because I Don't Know How I'd Ever Have Learned These Rules."
The British Broadcasting Corporation, universally known as the BBC, offers quite an array of online resources for learning English. Other broadcasters make efforts at this (CNN, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), but for the BBC, it seems to be a mission. The French would call it a mission civilisatrice – although they would also say that to be really civilized, you'd have to learn French.
The Beeb offers little "Words in the News" video clips in which a presenter talks through a simple news story, highlighting key vocabulary. There are also animated series, such as "The Flatmates." Think of this one as "Friends" on a low budget – a very low budget. The story lines illustrate idiomatic expressions and grammatical nuances.
There are also opportunities to write in with questions. This is not for the faint of heart. The exchanges illustrate both the subtleties of the "rules" most of us native speakers absorb without ever quite "learning," and also the effort many English learners make to get it right.
For instance, someone identified as "Mr. Smolin in Poland" writes, "Is it true that 'Hadn't it been for ...' (as an alternative to 'Had it not been for ...') is incorrect?"
Yes, indeed, the BBC responds; it is incorrect. A sentence such as, "Had it not rained, we would have gone to the beach," is perfectly correct. There are other equally correct, and more common, ways to say this, including, "If it hadn't rained, we would have gone to the beach." But "Hadn't it rained, we would have gone to the beach" is not one of them.

Teenage Girl Explores Algae-Powered Biofuel, Wins Intel Science Talent Search
Innovation, from improving robot navigation to advancing treatment for breast cancer, is thriving today in the nation's capital. Honoring high school seniors with exceptional promise in math and science, Intel Corporation and Society for Science & the Public (SSP) recognized the winners of what is considered the nation's most elite and demanding high school research competition, the Intel Science Talent Search.
Sara Volz, 17, of Colorado Springs, Colo., won the top award of $100,000 from the Intel Foundation for her research of algae biofuels. Algae produces oil that can be converted into a sustainable, renewable fuel; however, the fuel can be costly. Sara used artificial selection to establish populations of algae cells with high oil content, which are essential for an economically feasible biofuel. Sara, who built a home lab under her loft bed, sleeps on the same light cycle as her algae.
Second-place honors and $75,000 went to Jonah Kallenbach, 17, of Ambler, Pa., whose bioinformatics study breaks new ground in predicting protein binding for drug therapy. Jonah solved an open problem first posed several years ago, and his work suggests a new path to drug design by targeting a protein's disordered regions. His research may open doors to treatment for diseases, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer and tuberculosis.
Third-place honors and $50,000 went to Adam Bowman, 17, of Brentwood, Tenn., who successfully designed and built a compact and inexpensive, low-energy, pulsed plasma device. Typical plasma sources are large, complicated and expensive. Using his inexpensive technology, Adam believes plasma research can now be conducted in small-scale operations and even high school labs.
"The Intel Science Talent Search is an opportunity to reshape the dialogue around our nation's youth," said Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation. "We believe it's crucial to U.S. innovation to bring greater attention to math and science achievement, encourage more youth to embrace these fields, and demonstrate the impact these subjects have on our country's future success."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowBoth sushi and Chinese favorites as well as some Thai dishes are on the menu at this Palm Beacher, tucked inside the historic Bradley Park Hotel. It's a pretty space - cozy dining alcoves, and a lighted patio that draws couples. Drinks here are well made, but can cause sticker shock; go during the "saketini" happy hour, when free appetizers are served on the patio. An appetizer star is the clay pot mussels. Minced chicken in lettuce leaves and pot stickers are examples of other traditional starters. A number of rice and noodle dishes are on the menu, and good for vegetarians. More creative are the chef's entrees. Though not listed as a specialty, the crispy duck, served with thin pancakes, is a dish Chef Jeff Peng has down pat. The house specialty, Coco's "Beggar's Chicken" - stuffed chicken for two, baked in a traditional clay pot - must be ordered 24 hours in advance. The halibut steamed in a banana leaf, with the chef's lemon-ginger-cilantro sauce, is one of the chef's more recent creations. Other dishes include his versions of orange beef, Pad Thai, and Mongolian-style grilled steak.
