Just really hoping Ayu will have a chance to play her 1st GS Qualification
Yes, it is nice for Tami to have AA as sponsor but she still needs more sponsors to cover other things on the tours...
The final tourney will be Garuda Indonesia Tennis Masters to be held from 7 to 11 December, 2011 in Sultan Hotel, Jakarta...The contenders are: Ayu, Jessy, Lavinia, Grace, Romana, Sandy, Laili and Cynthia...This year the committee counted all international tourneys the players participated...coz only 1 national tourney was held this season...
It is hard to find schedule for Ayu, Jessy and Lavinia as they belong to Martina's camp...Grace plans to play challengers in Australia from February onwards...
From juniors rebuilding Indonesia's tennis!!!

The voice control options are extremely basic, and the price increase just doesn't match the value added. Save some cash and get the $249 model or a Nest.
From smart locks to smart lights, here's the best in smart home tech.
Honeywell's Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat can compete directly with the Nest Learning Thermostat on features, but it doesn't match the Nest's intuitive design.
While the Ecobee3 doesn't quite match the design and usability of the Nest Learning Thermostat, it is definitely worthy of your consideration.
First Alert might be an old household brand but its new smart thermostat sounds like it's straight from the future.
Honeywell adds voice control tech to its smart thermostat.
This intermediate installation is pretty straightforward, but only if you already have the necessary wiring.
While the Lyric has a ton of potential, the app needs some major updates to make its usability and performance on par with the Nest.
The Oco HD Wi-Fi Camera is an OK midpriced security camera that manages to differentiate itself from the identical form factor of the ArcSoft Simplicam by way of its adaptable video stream and lower cloud subscription fees.
The NuHeat Signature floor thermostat keeps you in touch with your floors remotely
Chamberlain hopes Wi-Fi capabilities will make its smart garage opener both smarter and simple to install.

Flying a spinnaker single-handed
I fly an asymetrical on my 43'' single handed. I use a sock and the tacker. Asyms are definately not running sails. I really can''t sail below 140 degrees apparent. If you want to run you can try winging the sail out on a whisker pole or fly the chute alone without the main. The equipment all works very well but I should add that an auto pilot makes this all possible single handed. I have heard of set ups where everything can be done from the cockpit but I have not seen one and would be interseted in how this is rigged. Depending on the design of your boat, if you want to go dead down wind with your asym you should reach and gybe. Sometimes the fastest route between two points is not a straight line. It''s easy to do with a tacked asym.

Boyband Union J were eliminated from the X Factor just one week before the final.
That's got to hurt.
The band polled the fewest public votes meaning that they had to leave the competition in fourth place.
On leaving the show band member Josh told Dermot: "We are so happy with how well we have done, we'd like to thank the X Factor for everything."
Union J are out, Christopher is in. What's wrong with this sentence? Copyright [Rex]
While JJ added: "We want to wish the boys [the finalists] the best of luck, they've done so well."
What a great display of good sportsmanship.

The boys mentor Louis Walsh admitted that he was sad that the boys had to go but was adamant this wouldn't be the last we will have heard of them.
He said: "I'm a little bit disappointed but I'm happy because they are going to have an amazing future, they are going to be the next big boy band."
Christopher Maloney shakes Gary, Nicole realises Jahmene is copping a cheeky feel. Copyright [Rex]
With Union J now out, the final three contestants left to fight it out for the recording contract are James Arthur, Jahmene Douglas and Christopher Maloney.
Yep, he's still in.
Talking to Dermot about making it through to the final Christopher said: "I'm just so grateful for everyone who has picked up the phone for me and got me through the competition."
Jahmene Douglas, who was initially lost for words, told Dermot: "Next week we will just have to bring it on."
A shocked James Arthur also admitted: "I had a bad feeling, a really bad feeling I was going. I'm over the moon, [it's] crazy."
The X Factor returns next week for the grand final.

Lakshmi Holmström, whose translations introduced distinct Tamil authors to readers of English, talks about finding the 'right pitch' of a book.
Lakshmi Holmström is an acclaimed author who has succeeded in bringing numerous Tamil literary works to readers all over the world through English translation. Sensitivity in approach, felicity in choice of words and a felt understanding distinguish her translations. She has handled short stories, novels and poems with nuanced precision. Contemporary writers such as Ambai, Salma, Bama, Pudumaipithan, Ashokamitran, Sundara Ramaswamy, Mouni, Imayam, Na. Muthuswamy and Cheran have become accessible owing to her efforts. She is a founder trustee of SALIDAA (South Asian Diaspora Literatures and Arts Archive). She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2011 New Year's Honours list for Service to Literature. In this e-mail interview, she talks about the numerous aspects of her work:
What set you off on this voyage of translation?
Like most of us in India, I have always been fascinated by what is said in one language, and how that may be 'carried over' into another; what works and what doesn't and why. I had translated bits and pieces from Tamil into English over many years, as I moved from my study of mainstream 'English Lit' to Indian writing both in English and in Indian languages, and then again, more specifically, to writing by women. Then, when I was compiling a collection of short stories by Indian women, The Inner Courtyard, I translated a short story by Ambai, 'Yellow Fish'. After that, translation became what I do, and what I like to do.
How much has the scene changed today?
I think publishers take translation much more seriously than they did 20 or 30 years ago. A great many translations are well produced and with attractive covers. At least some publishers publicise their translation list well, and make certain that they are reviewed. But it is a fact of life, I think, that there will never be a wide readership for many — or indeed most — translations outside specialised university courses. But at least there is a readership there.
Does the creativity that goes into the process get enough recognition? Or do translators have to bear the burden of preconceived ideas and exaggerated expectations (of readers), as when a well-loved book is made into a film?
I think that most readers — and again I'm excepting the specialist reader or indeed the discriminating and sensitive reader — don't understand what exactly is involved in a translation. They can't quite grasp the notion that languages differ hugely in lexis as well as syntax; that one language doesn't 'move into' another automatically. Nor do they realise that when you translate a work, whether it is a poem or a long work of fiction, you have to keep in mind the integrity of the whole thing. Words and sentences may be the bricks and mortar but it has a structure as a whole that you are constantly aspiring towards. But of course, I'm also aware that different translators read, interpret and work differently.
What guides you through the currents and shoals of tackling a different language, culture and the unique quality of each writer?
I can't answer this one easily. The most difficult part of translation is, I believe, finding the 'right' pitch and voice of the original, and to try and match that. I won't say 'replicate'; that's impossible. But there is also the hard graft of familiarising oneself with the history and cultural background of the work. A translator should never be afraid of asking questions. Meanings don't reside in dictionaries alone, we know.
How do you perceive the changes in Tamil feminist literature compared to when you first started out?
That's been huge. I don't know that I would characterise all of it as 'feminist writing'. Many women writers are feminist, and articulate their feminism very clearly. But I believe the driving force in their writing — or in the best examples of their work — is not cerebral and generalised but springs from personal, felt experience. Hence Bama's Dalit politics; hence Salma's insights into the restricted world of Muslim women; hence the focus of Sri Lankan poets on violence done to women during and after the war; hence the younger women poets of Tamil and their politics of sexuality.
How do you choose a work? Does the writer or work "call" to you?
I have only ever translated a work that I'm committed to. Even if it is outrageously difficult: Imayam's Beasts of Burden comes to mind. In that sense, yes, the work does indeed 'call' to me. Not necessarily the author, though.
Is it different/difficult to translate a poem compared to prose?
Each genre needs a different approach, certainly. As I said before, it's the integrity of the whole that one needs to keep in mind. In the case of poetry, it is all the more important that a poem in translation works as a poem. Otherwise, one might as well give up.
What are the aims of SALIDAA and what has it been able to achieve?
SALIDAA has now renamed itself SADAA (South Asian Diaspora Arts Archive). It exists to collect and preserve the artistic and literary output by the South Asian Diaspora (i.e. of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan descent), since 1947. A digital archive displays selected materials from the physical archive, which is housed in the Brunel University library in London. The archive has existed for about 12 years, and is growing gradually. In the past year we have done a big project surrounding one of our important collections, that of the Asian Women Writers' Collective, which existed in the 1980s and 1990s.

Celebrate ARMA! (From The President).
Over the past few years there has been an ongoing debate as to just what "the profession" is. Our tag line says we are the "Association for Information Management Professionals," but we know that all of us wear many hats and have such diverse titles and responsibilities that we can't pigeonhole what we do into any one specific professional area. Does a librarian who handles company records have to give up that title for another? Does an IT professional who handles e-mail and electronic records qualify as a records manager? Should a records manager who handles records in their electronic format be categorized as an IT manager instead? When historical records become a full-blown archive, does the job title of the person handling them change? Our continuing challenge is to put together the many puzzle pieces that make up the diverse field of information management into one association without slighting any of them.
As business and technology changes, our jobs evolve. It is ARMA's responsibility as a professional association to be on the cutting edge of what is happening in the management of information. Does that mean we forget where we came from, what got us where we are today? Of course not!
I have been in this profession since 1980, and many of my friends and mentors can claim even longer tenure. We are proud of our roots and the many contributions ARMA has made to records and information management. Is our field the same as it was 10, 20, 40, or even almost 50 years ago when ARMA came into being? No. Will it be the same 10, 20, or 50 years from now? No again.
Change happens! I, for one, am thankful for ARMA, its leaders' forward thinking, and its educational opportunities, which have enabled me to grow and learn. Above all, I value the wonderful, giving ARMA members who have been willing to mentor, advise, and guide me throughout my career. So, let's Celebrate ARMA and all the good things it represents while we work together to continue to move into the information management future.

Philips DCB2020 music tracks fade up..
Hi all,
I have just purchased a DCB2020/05 mini dock micro system. I`m really pleased with everything other than when playing MP3 or WMA files from a USB stick or CD I`m finding the volume fades up in the first second of each track, which is quite annoying to say the least as you miss the start of each track !! Im probably doing something wrong, any ideas anyone ? Im using Nero 6 to burn/convert the tracks.

Manchester City captain Richard Dunne admits their successful start under manager Sven Goran Eriksson has surprised him.
"We all want to play for a good club and good managers but there were stages over the summer where it didn't look like Manchester City were going to go anywhere," Dunne told the Manchester Evening News.
"Thankfully, it has really lifted off. In saying we would have a new owner and a top-class manager, the directors had made promises they had to keep for the fans' sake.
"It probably took longer than expected but they did a great job in the end. Anyone who hung around is enjoying it and getting all the benefits from it.
"The expectation around the club has risen. Everyone wants to watch us because of our displays and everyone is saying we are really good to watch."

Pretty much everyone supports the idea of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee developing a unique School of Freshwater Sciences designed to deal with freshwater issues and help turn Milwaukee into a hub of freshwater industry. And it is a great idea. Where some part company is over where to put the school.
To us, the choice is clear: The best place for the new school is the proposed site at the former Pieces of Eight restaurant at the end of E. Michigan St. It's directly on the water, where scientists say they'd like to be. Given the right design, it would provide a showcase setting for a signature building that would serve as a gateway to the school's work and to the city. It would provide not only students and faculty with a state-of-the-art facility in a central and convenient location but the public with another easily accessed venue to learn about water and the Great Lakes. And it would become part of the Calatrava-Discovery World complex that has enhanced that section of lakefront.
There is arguably no lovelier lakefront among the Great Lakes' major cities than Milwaukee's. Compare it with, say, Chicago or Cleveland, and Milwaukee wins, hands down. The reason is that the city's leaders over several generations have maintained a policy of less is more: Less development and fewer buildings means more open space and lake vistas for the public to enjoy. That's been a good plan that generally should continue.
But no one would argue that the Milwaukee Art Museum and its Calatrava addition are a blight on the landscape. Or that Discovery World has tarnished Milwaukee's water gateway. The same could be true for the proposed school. It could be another enhancement that would serve the city and science.
The proposed two-story, 50,000-square-foot building with classrooms and research laboratories would house a program in which UWM faculty and staff would be directing students working toward master's and doctoral degrees.
In addition to training scientists and engineers, the school would provide public meeting, auditorium and touring exhibition spaces suitable for a variety of audiences. Nonprofit and public policy groups, K-12 students, non-traditional students and community organizations interested in the work at the school all would benefit from such a facility, as Ald. Michael Murphy argued in a Crossroads op-ed on May 31.
The 1.67-acre site is leased from the city by Specialty Restaurants Corp., the California-based company that operated Pieces of Eight and Harbor 550 restaurants. Philanthropist Michael Cudahy has negotiated a proposal to acquire the leasehold interest in the land. Specialty Restaurants' lease expires in 2018, and UWM wants to extend that lease to 60 years. The decision on whether to proceed rests in the hands of the Harbor Commission and then the Milwaukee Common Council. Both should approve the plan.
The school has support from, among others, the Greater Milwaukee Committee, the Milwaukee 7 Water Council, Mayor Tom Barrett and UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago. Supporters say the school at the Pieces of Eight site would help draw investments and boost relationships with local businesses that produce water-related products and services.
Even opponents of the site - such as Milwaukee County Supervisor Gerry Broderick who also wrote a May 31 op-ed - agree on the importance of developing the school. But Broderick and other opponents argue that the Pieces of Eight site should be returned to green space, despite the fact that a restaurant occupied the land for decades. They also argue that the school would have problems meeting the standards of the state's public trust doctrine.
Broderick has suggested placing the school across the street to the west in the Downtown Transit Center. But Val Klump, director of the UWM Great Lakes Water Institute, tells us that being across the street would not be the best option.
"The whole point is to put it on the water, where we would have easy access to the research vessel," he said. "Having it on the water is essential."
Klump is right, of course. Otherwise, the school might as well be placed at the current water institute site at E. Greenfield Ave., where much of the work of the freshwater school also would take place.
In addition, a signature gateway building with some green space as part of the Calatrava-Discovery World complex on the lakefront would do far more to attract interest, industry and investment than something tucked away across the street or at the water institute or somewhere in the city's inner harbor.
As to the public trust doctrine, state officials said in a letter early this year that the university's research uses are consistent with the public trust doctrine as long as it has enough links to public interest in water. The department encouraged the university to develop amenities for public use, such as walkways to access the shoreline and restrooms accessible from outside the building, features the university is including in its plans, university spokesman Tom Luljak told us last week. "There will be 360-degree access for the public," he said.
The School of Freshwater Sciences - the first of its kind in the country - would be aimed at finding solutions to freshwater-related issues, sure to be among the planet's key issues in this century. There's no doubt of the need to address serious problems: More than 1.2 billion people around the world lack access to clean water and about 35% of people in the developing world die from water-related problems, as GMC President Julia Taylor pointed out in a presentation to the commission last month.
With its water-related industries and a school dedicated to freshwater issues, Milwaukee can take a leading role in helping meet the planet's water challenges. And the school's gateway facility should be in a state-of-the-art building directly on the shore of Lake Michigan.
Yes, the city can raze the Pieces of Eight building and add a small patch of open green space. Or it can allow UWM to build a signature green building that will send a message to the world that Milwaukee is taking a leading role on water. We vote for the latter.

Korean war vets reunite for 60th year of armistice pact in Seoul
More News from Nikko Dizon
SEOUL– Around 300 veterans from 21 countries that fought in the Korean War under the United Nations flag commemorated the 60th year of the armistice agreement that ended three years of fierce fighting between the North and South although no peace treaty was forged.
Former President Fidel Ramos and his fellow Filipino war veterans, (identified with their ranks as they retired): Generals Benjamin Santos and Prudencio Regis; Colonels Vicente Alhambra, Ishmael Rodrigo and Jovencio Dominguez; and Lieutenants Dionisio Layaoen and Severino Aquino attended the ceremony that expressed South Korea's gratitude to the 21 UN member countries that helped defend their democracy and sovereignty.
Alhambra, who was an intelligence officer in the war, is the oldest among the group at 97 years old.
The Philippines was one of the 16 UN member countries that sent combat units to the Korean War while five others provided medical support.
While the ceasefire has held for six decades, many still yearn for closure to the war and some, a reunification of the two Koreas.
"It is deeply regrettable that the situation in the Korean peninsula remains fragile and volatile. Inter-Korean relations have remained deadlocked for far too long," UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon said in a message read by a representative at the ceremony.
South Korea's first female President Park Gyeung Hye also delivered a message.
The ceremonies included a traditional Korean dance and a parade of flags of the UN, South Korea, and the 21 nations in a tribute where Korean children sang "That's What Friends Are For," bringing tears to not a few of the attendees.
The war broke out on June 25, 1950 with the unexpected attack of the communist North Korea on the South. Days later, the UN called its member nations to help South Korea.
According to UN records, the Philippines sent a total of 7,420 soldiers, 112 of whom were killed, 229 were wounded in action, 41 became prisoners of war, and 16 remain missing in action.

Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has since become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annex" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.
About the Author
Anne Frank was born in 1929 in Germany. Her family moved to Amsterdam in 1933, and she died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

As frequency of Metropolitan Transport Corporation services dedicated to sub-urban areas is poor, commuters have a tough time.
"Route number V 151 which plies from T. Nagar to East Tambaram is operated as a deluxe service during peak hours and the white board service, once in three hours. It will be of immense help if the frequency of the white board service is increased during peak hours," J. Raj, a commuter, said.
"Bus route number 51 F which was operated from Sunnambu Kolathur, Kovilambakkam, to T. Nagar via Velachery, is diverted through Madipakkam. Just two or three (51 F) services are operated through Velachery. A good number of staff of Indian Institute of Technology - Madras resided at S. Kolathur, and depend on this service," said a resident of S. Kolathur.
He added "We presented a letter to Metropolitan Transport Corporation, Chief Minister Cell, and Transport Secretary to resume the previous service. In reply, the MTC authorities stated that the service is operated 16 times a day. Two bus routes 51 S (Saidapet – Tambaram East) and M 2 (Sunnambu Kolathur - T. Nagar) via Velachery has also been cancelled. " "There is a need to ply more number of buses from S. Kolathur via Velachery to other parts of the city," A. Karthik Sivakumar, another commuter said.
Commuters underscored the need to introduce more bus routes on Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road. At present, only A 21 (Thiruvanmiyur- Tambaram), and A 21V (Thiruvanmiyur - Vandalur Zoo) is operated on this thoroughfare. Many will benefit if buses from Central Station, T. Nagar, Koyambedu, Broadway, Mylapore, and Velachery are operated through Radial Road to Guduvancheri and Vandalur. From Vijaya Nagar bus terminus, 21 J (Velachery- Chengalpet) is operated via Medavakkam. It would be put to good use if certain services are diverted through Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road.
MTC officials said, "51 F is operated regularly to T. Nagar via Velachery. Apart from A 21 and A 21V, V 21 and R 21 is operated on Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road. A 21 is operated every 10 minutes from Thiruvanmiyur and Vandalur Zoo.

Easter Eggs are great fun, especially in huge open world games like Far Cry 3 but they can be virtually impossible to find without a little Internet help and thankfully that is exactly what GameFront have gone and done.
Easter Eggs are great fun, especially in huge open world games like Far Cry 3 but they can be virtually impossible to find without a little Internet help and thankfully that is exactly what GameFront have gone and done.
Rockstar have been kind enough to send over some new L.A. Noire screenshots this morning along with a list of the Trophies (Achievements) that can be unlocked in the game. Well most of them anyway, they have kept 9 of them as a secret that we'll need to unlock by ourselves, or wait a day after release to hear about.
If you've been playing Red Dead Redemption for more than an hour yet you would have noticed that it is incredibly selfish with it's achievements/trophies. I have been playing for around 8 hours and I think I have about 4 of them. So to try and help us all rank up here is a video explaining how to get the Dastardly achievement... which involves killing an innocent, which is most probably going to make the mainstream freak if they see this.
Capcom has come up with a novel way to try and stop people from trading in their copy of Lost Planet 2 as soon as they have finished it.
Playing on the odd hoarding trait of Achievement and Trophy junkies Capcom have included an achievement/trophy that only activates 6 months after your first gameplay.
If you're a bit of an achievement and gamerscore harlot (and are still one of the few accumulating the properly) you'll be giddy knowing that the achievement list for Bioshock 2 has made its way to the internet, allowing you to figure out how many play-throughs you'll have to do to get the full 1000.
While I should probably add that the list is marginally spoilerific, none of the great number of secret, story-related achievements have been revealed. A lot of the rest of them have disappointingly been purloined from the original. It's fairly safe to assume the PS3 trophies will be similar. Hit the jump for the list.
Ever wondered what achievement would have been like if they existed back when we were all playing NES, Megadrive and all those other classics?
Gamerpaper.com have put together a funny gallery of achievements for many of the games that we all love and have posted them up on their site. A lot of them are all too true and made me giggle a considerable amount.
Check them out through the link below.
Source: Gamerpaper.com
The Xbox 360 sports an exalted achievement system – which has the ability to make gamers play through tedious bits of games they wouldn't otherwise bother with, as well as purchase games they wouldn't generally be caught dead playing; all for the sake of a misguided sense of self-worth, or digital e-penis extension. The obvious inspiration for the PS3's me-too trophy system, the Xbox's achievements have come full circle, as they're now borrowing certain elements from the PS3. According to Major Nelson's latest podcast, Microsoft will be insisting that all games feature achievements tiered by difficulty – easy, medium, and hard – much like the PS3's bronze, silver gold and platinum trophies. What does this mean to real-world gamers? Well, for a start achievement whores may be required to work a little harder for their gamerscore fix – achievements like those seen in Avatar : The Last Airbender will be a thing of the past. Source : Major Nelson
Do I need to state the obvious fact here that a video which shows you where the collectables are in Gears of War 2 may contain certain spoilers to the game? Well I guess I have anyway so that's out of the way. I have never been very interested in achievements but seeing that I am going to be starting up a new Gears of War 2 co-op campaign with the wife tonight I thought I would see if I can get all the collectables in the game while we take a leisurely stroll through it. So while looking for a cheat sheet of some sort I came across this video which makes it that much easier for me to find the things, Â this is the first video of the series but if you are an achievement wh*re or are about to redo the campaign then it's worth knowing where to look.

MLS: Seattle 2, Los Angeles 0
August 16, 2009
A 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy Saturday night moved Seattle Sounders FC into second place in Major League Soccer's Western Conference table.
The game gave the Sounders a 1-0 advantage on a Steve Zakuani goal after David Beckham was sent off the field for a studs-up tackle on Peter Vagenas.
Seattle scored again when striker Fredy Montero pounced on a kick from Nate Jaqua and fired the ball past Donovan Ricketts to make it 2-0.
Sounders defender Tyrone Marshall earned his second yellow card and the Galaxy's Eddie Lewis was shown a straight red for striking a Sounders' player in the head.
The Galaxy (7-4-10) travel to Chicago Wednesday while the Sounders (8-5-8) host New England Thursday in their next MLS match.

Delivering Content to Apple IPhone, IPod Touch and IPad Using RealNetworks
Date Added: Jun 2010
Format: PDF
This paper aims to discuss the how real networks have been successfully delivering content to Apple iPhone, iPods Touch and also the iPad. With many years of experience in their basket, Real Networks have mastered the act of delivering multimedia content in various formats to Apple and many other such manufacturers of devices. With Apple, the content generated is very different from the content created for other device manufacturers. For the others, they were delivering content through RTSP or RTMP but for Apple the format has to be via HTTP or HTTPS. Luckily Apple also has the ability to support and switch to different alternate versions as well. With Apple's device one can send across a request to decode and then download something new or in a different format. Real Networks make use of two different methods to deliver content to Apple and they are: One can be done through progressive download while the second method is through segmented download. The segmented downloading process is also known as the live streaming of HTTP. However, as an Apple device user, when using either of the methods for downloading, one has to follow certain norms set up by Apple. If one is downloading a video or content which exceeds 10 minutes of duration time or 5 MB then live streaming is to be used. If one is downloading the above one needs to provide at least one stream which is at 64 Kbps.

NFL Free Agency 2013: 5 Free Agents Who Will Be Overpaid
What Happens When NFL Teams Overpay for Free Agents?
Once upon a time (2012), the Buffalo Bills signed an expensive free agent. His name was Mario Williams. The Bills signed this defensive end to a six-year, $100 million contract. Many Bills fans rejoiced because they believed it was the key ingredient that would help them reach the 2012-13 NFL playoffs. Years of playoff-less football were about to end!
In his first season with the Bills, Williams had 46 tackles, two forced fumbles and 10.5 sacks. Those were his best tackle and sack totals since the 2008-09 season. One of his sacks came against his former team, the Houston Texans. Three of his sacks came against the Indianapolis Colts. That's correct: three sacks in one game.
Williams enjoyed one of his finest seasons. In return, the Bills watched their $100 million investment help increase their win total from six wins to six wins. This zero-win difference was good enough to get them absolutely nowhere near the AFC playoff picture.
There was another fairy tale about this "Dream Team" that built much of their roster through free agency. They were called the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll save that story for another time.
Some teams never learn from their mistakes nor others' mistakes. They overpay free agents because their name recognition excites the fans. Within weeks, management realizes that they're not a good fit for the organization. They're stuck with paying those huge signing bonuses.
These five free agents will be among the most overpaid signings during the 2013 NFL free-agency period. They're listed in alphabetical order, not by rank of importance.
Buyer beware.
Cliff Avril (DE)
Through four seasons, Cliff Avril has 39.5 career sacks and 16 forced fumbles. It must help when he plays for a team who has Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley anchoring the interior of the defensive line. As a run-defender, Avril offers very little.
Mario Williams-type money (six-year, $100 million)? No chance. A one-dimensional defensive lineman isn't worth half of that, which is what Avril could get.
Jared Cook (TE)
The Tennessee Titans declined to use their franchise tag on Jared Cook after he threatened to take the case into arbitration. Had Cook won, the Titans would've had to pay him over $10.5 million as a wide receiver instead of the $6.066 million for a tight end.
Cook finished the 2012-13 season with 44 receptions for 523 yards and two touchdowns. Through four seasons, Cook has 131 catches. For a player who normally splits out, that's pretty weak. It doesn't help that he's an awful run-blocker.
Yet, some team will overpay for his athleticism at the tight end position—even though he rarely plays tight end. Cook was the AFC's version of Jermichael Finley; although he never had the breakout playoff game like Finley did in Jan. 2010.
Greg Jennings (WR)
Since Greg Jennings was drafted in 2006, he has caught passes from Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. These quarterbacks can make almost anyone look good
How much should a team pay for a wide receiver who has missed 11 games over the past two seasons, eight of which came during the 2012-13 season? Jennings has never had more than 80 catches in any season. The 2010-11 season was his last season of more than 1,000 receiving yards or 10 touchdowns. He'll turn 30 years old in Sept. ESPN lists him as 5-11 and 198 pounds.
Reportedly, Jennings wants $12-14 million per season. He'll probably get $8-9 million, which is still too much.
Osi Umenyiora (DE)
Living on past accomplishments, Osi Umenyiora is another defensive lineman who benefited from a good scheme and supporting cast. The 31-year-old has seen his sack totals decline in each of the last two seasons. His 2011 decline was caused from injury. In 2012, Umenyiora had just six sacks.
Mike Wallace (WR)
Which team will overpay for Mike Wallace? Wallace has never had more than 72 catches in any single season. Only once has Wallace had more than eight touchdown catches. At age 27 (in Aug.), when does his speed start declining?
The Miami Dolphins could pay Wallace more than the Kansas City Chiefs paid Dwayne Bowe ($11.2 million per season). That hasn't worked well for the Arizona Cardinals (Larry Fitzgerald) or Lions (Calvin Johnson).

Rukhsar's stance is alright except for a slight limp that is almost inconspicuous
Two-and-a-half-year-old Rukhsar, the last reported case of wild polio in India, leans over the side of the wooden frame on which her mother, Zubeida Bibi, works painstakingly on a zardosi sari. Rukhsar's stance makes one wonder if she needs the support to stand.
The reality could not be more different. Exactly a year after it was detected that Rukhsar was infected with the wild polio virus, she walks with the slightest limp, undetectable to the untrained eye. A scar on her left calf — less than an inch in width — appears to be the only evidence that she was ever afflicted.
"Rukhsar had just about started standing up when she fell ill as an 18-month-old baby. After two months at the Infectious Diseases hospital at Belighata [in Kolkata], she returned home. Within another couple of months, she started walking," says Abdul Shah, her father, on Friday.
Delicate child
From the time of her birth, Rukhsar had been a delicate child, frequently suffering from stomach upsets — the reason that she had not been immunised with the oral polio vaccine, he adds.
But in the course of the last year, Rukhsar has become the face of the polio immunisation campaign in Sahapara and the neighbouring areas of Panchla Block in the State's Howrah district.
"A year ago there were about 30 families in the locality that refused to allow their children to be immunised. At present there are only three families that continue to resist," says Sheik Amin-ud-din, a United National Children's Fund (UNICEF) volunteer who works in the polio eradication programme.
Abdul Shah himself has been speaking to people in the area urging them to allow volunteers to administer the oral polio vaccine to their children. He regrets that his daughter missed out on the vaccine, recounting with horror, the long hours that Rukhsar's body burned with fever, her leg swollen as she lay listless at home.
Rukhsar's elder sister and brother, both of them school-going toddlers, had been immunised. But Rukhsar was a sickly child, continually suffering from diarrhoea or some other ailment. On all the days that the vaccine was being given out, she was invariably unwell, Mr. Shah says.
Arjina Khatoon, another UNICEF volunteer in the neighbouring Chara Panchla gram panchayat area, has never met Rukhsar or her family. But Rukhsar's photographs have become an integral part of her campaign among the residents of her village.
"In the rounds we conducted in Chara Panchla in February 2010, 87 families had refused the vaccination. As news of Rukhsar's affliction spread this number has now reduced to 64 families," she adds.
Ruksar's photographs have become integral part of awareness drive in her village
Her father has been coaxing reluctant parents to let their children be immunised

Episode 110: Amazin' Blevenue Audio
in Baseball
In the "The Assassination of Oliver Perez by the Coward Jerry Manuel" edition, Jeffrey and Aaron discuss all the new left-handed relievers the Mets have acquired. We break down both deals and discuss Steve Schreiber's MS Paintz skills, Alex Torres' haberdashery, and what the Mets gave up to shore up the 2015 pen. We also wonder if this is a precursor to a Dillon Gee trade (so far, not so much). We'll be back later in the week with your e-mails and our take on the Juan Lagares extension.

In the "It would be convenient if they gave #56 to an interesting prospect this Spring, but I forgot that it's Scott Rice's number" edition. Rob and Jeffrey finally sit down to talk about the Amazin' Avenue Top 25 Mets prospect list, but first they spend ten minutes talking about the 2008 Mets bullpen for some reason. #blameAyala. We also answer your e-mails about...shortstops...again.

In the "Jenrry Mejia's hair deserves its own edition" edition, Rob and Jeffrey talk about Jenrry Mejia's hair, natch'. We also preview the 2014 Mets infield, which mostly devolves into a discussion of David Wright's future Hall of Fame case. Chris McShane helps out too, sitting down with Mike Vorkunov of the Star-Ledger to see where the Mets shortstop and first base situation currently stand. Then we continue our NL East preview with the Atlanta Braves, and Talking Chop's Ben Duronio. It's a cast of thousands on Amazin' Avenue Audio! Finally, we wrap up with your e-mails, and Jeffrey's most recent failure at Mets Trivia.

In the "You should all feel bad for telling Jon Rauch to kill himself on twitter" edition, Rob and Jeffrey wrap up our 2014 preview with the bullpen, which we are not excited about (the preview that is, but also, probably the bullpen). So that leaves plenty of time to discuss the fifth starter situation, just how many first basemen the Mets are going to carry, and to check in on our sister podcast, Shortstop Avenue. We wrap up with some college baseball talk, a couple of e-mails, and the beginning of a triumphant winning streak at Mets trivia.

In the "[redacted] is the only Met to wear #59" edition. Rob and Jeffrey (and Chris and Marc Carig) preview the 2014 Mets rotation. Will Jon Niese every be healthy and above-average at the same time? How fat can Bartolo Colon get? Do we have anything to say about Dillon Gee? Who exactly is going to be the Mets fifth starter? (Jeffrey makes a sad face) All these questions will at least be discussed. Plus, we debut the Shortstop Avenue Audio jingle, because of course we have shortstop e-mails to answer, and Jeffrey and Rob completely forget to do Mets trivia, which means Jeffrey doesn't get Mets trivia wrong.

In the "Shawn Estes should have hit Roger Clemens in the upper back" edition, Jeffrey and Chris celebrate the official beginning of another baseball season with Baseball-Reference play index searches and raves for Jenrry Mejia.

In the "Tonight, Boss" edition, Rob and Jeffrey share their Santana no-hitter stories before launching into the 2014 Mets preview with the triumphant return of Outfield Avenue Audio (yes, we know we said we'd start with the infield, but we rarely stick to plans). Jeffrey says mean things about Eric Young despite his plans to only say nice things about Eric Young. Meanwhile, Rob is bullish on Curtis Granderson. Then, Liz Roscher of The Good Phight joins the show and has to put up with Jeffrey's merciless trolling of the Phillies offseason. Finally, we wrap up with your e-mail (singular) about playing for 2014, and whether Terry Collins can get the extra 2% out of the Mets. We hope Jonah Keri appreciates the free plug.

Akila Kannadasan talks to Velu Viswanadhan about his journey from the Cholamandal Artists' Village to Paris
Viswanadhan's father was not home. A customer had come to place an order for a wooden statue. He asked if the14-year-old can make it for him instead. Viswanadhan was surprised, but agreed. The art of carving statues in wood was recorded in his mind since he grew up watching his artisan-father at work. "I took a piece of wood, gave it form, and painted it," recalls the world renowned artist, who was in the city to participate in Art Chennai.
With a head full of grizzly hair and a puffy grey beard, the 74-year-old has paint stains on his hand — probably from his latest rendezvous with the brush. "The customer was pleased. He was going to worship it! He placed some money on a betel leaf as is the tradition, and gave it to me."
This was Viswanadhan's first tryst with art. Growing up in the village of Thrikkadavoor in Kerala, little did he know that he will one day travel the world and become a popular name in the world of art. He studied like everyone else of his age and went to college. But he was expelled for his active participation in politics. As destiny would have it, art came to his rescue. "I met a portrait painter in my village who was preparing to send his student to Madras Art School." Viswanadhan decided to apply. When his father found out, all hell broke loose. For even then, the arts were not considered as viable career options. "He was very angry. He wanted me to do something substantial in life."
Despite the discouragement from his family and the little money he had, Viswanadhan packed his bags and came to Madras. It was 1960; a year when veteran artists such as Adimoolam, Haridasan, and Dakshinamoorty also stepped into the Art School.
"So this is how I started."India-inspired
It was around this time that artists, poets, and writers intensely discussed on Indian identity in the arts. "What do we follow? The very rich and complex Indian tradition or the acquired European tradition?" A conclusion was arrived at. "We decided to analyse and synthesise our own identity and style," he says. But times were not great for an artist in Madras. "We were always asked, 'so you're studying art? What next? What would you do for a living?' People never bought art; we were not encouraged."The Village by the sea
That's when K. C. S. Paniker, the principal of Madras School of Arts, envisioned the idea of "a space for artists to do their research and express themselves creatively and not commercially." He, along with his students established the Artists' Handicraft Association as an extension of art that would help sustain themselves while they pursued their artistic endeavours.
"The third and fourth year students created handicrafts and held an exhibition in the college," recalls Viswanadhan. With the money they made, Paniker asked them, why not buy a piece of land that would support them? "Some 40 of us, including his old students bought 12 grounds." Located by the sea, far from the bustle of the city, it had perfect ambience for a creator to work. They named it Cholamandal Artists' Village. Later on, "people around the area sold their property to us," he adds.
Viswanadhan saw the Village grow right from the time the first cottage was built. "You had to take a jhutka from Madras to reach Cholamandal. The journey left the traveller covered in red from the mud roads." With sand dunes all around, a well in the centre, and the sea at walking distance, the Artists' Village was beautiful.
Those who saw it wondered if it was a dream. "It was, but it was a real one," he says.Trip to Europe and thereafter
Viswanadhan briefly settled in Cholamandal. But he decided to travel. "Friends arranged an exhibition of my works in a garden and bought me a one-way ticket to Europe with the money."
The trip changed his life.
Viswanadhan travelled across Europe and saw the original works of masters such as Van Gogh and Edvard Munch about whom he had studied back in Madras. When he arrived in Paris towards the end of August 1968, the world of art embraced him. His first exhibition was held in 1970. "After the show opportunities to work there opened up. It has been 46 years since I started a life in Paris," he smiles.
All these years in Paris, Viswanadhan was "the outsider". "As an artist, whether you are at home or elsewhere, you are always an outsider. That's how you best observe people." He loves to travel. "I have to keep moving," he says. "It is the most important thing."

"Fraxel and Scars - Garden City, NY"
Went in to treat scars on the temple and cheeks. This recent session was my 3rd. To be frank, scars have improved from the 2 prior treatments by maybe as much as 50%. Realistically speaking, you are not going to get rid of all your scars with 1 treatment. Although the treatments are quite pricey, you do see results. If you are absolutely determined to mitigate the scars you have and are... more
"Much Needed Fraxel - Greenwich, CT"
I went to Dr. Nichols, after searching online for doctors that performed the Fraxel treatment. Prior to the appointment with Dr. Kim, I had been to another doctor for a consultation. I was not pleased with his poor bedside manners, and his lack of expertise with my skin tone. I was delighted to find Dr. Kim and felt at ease with her, because I felt as though she understood my issues and also... more
Dr ibrahimi is warm and compassionate and highly experienced in Fraxel Laser. I've had it 3 times and I notice that my skin texture and pores are now extremely small and many small lines and wrinkles disappeared. The office staff is very professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would only have this done by Dr. Ibrahimi since if you go on his website you can see his extensive... more
"Fraxel Treatment with Dr Ibrahimi -..."
About two months ago, I had my first fraxel treatment with Dr. Ibrahimi. One of my girlfriends had done laser with him and highly recommnended him to me. This wasn't the first time I got the procedure but it was the first time I got it done with Dr. Ibrahimi. Initially I resisted to do the fraxel again since I did it at a spa in Greenwich in the past and didn't have a good experience. ... more
"Eliminated Brown Spots on my Face! -..."
I've had a brown "mask" on my cheeks since pregnancy - the Fraxel laser removed it completely and Dr. Nichols was able to counsel me how best to maintain the results. While she said I might need 2 treatments - it's been 4 months and it still looks very good! However, it is important to religiously wear sunscreen after this procedure. more
Have been a sun worshiper for years and at 57 years old I have a Iot of sun damage to my face. Originally, I purchased an IPL package of 3 treatments. When I went in for my first treatment the gal evaluated my face and suggested I do the Fraxel laser instead. She calls it the eraser! Numbing cream was applied to my face and 45 minutes later we began. Forehead first and that was by far the... more
I just had a fraxel to treat fine lines around mouth, eyes, and under chin area. I sat with numbing cream for about 45 minutes. The procedure took about 30 minutes. After the treatment my skin felt hot and looked like I had a sunburn.... After a few hours my face cooled down but there is still some redness and a bit swollen the day after. Today I woke up with some swelling and my face... more
"Fraxel Worked Great for my Acne..."

I would recommend choosing an experienced physician having all equipment to make your treatmnent a painless experience. more
"Fraxel a Waste of Money - Long..."
I had suffered with acne since I was about 16 and is now in my 40's. Ater years of spending tons of money on different acne products I decided to try Fraxel. I used a well known doctor in the NY/garden city area who supposedly helped to develop fraxel. He claimed it would reduce my acne, smooth the indentations etc. etc. What a load of bull. Fraxel did none of those things but left me with... more
"Had DeepFX and Active FX on Tuesday..."
I am into m fourth day of recovery. My face is still swollen, brown and red. I just started skin shedding yesterday. I had both my entire Face and neck treated. I was given general anesthesia for the procedure which lasted well over an hour. Most of my pain occurred on the first day. My skin felt very hot and sensitive to touch for at least three days. Swelling was very apparent on the... more

I had a fraxel restore treatment on my forehead over a month ago, and although the redness faded after a week, i still have that brown tan color left over from the laser. how long does this discoloration usually last for?How long does this discoloration usually last for? more
This is one of the greatest laser out there that takes care of a lot of problems. It gets rid of ACNE scars, smooths wrinkles and gets rid of pigmentations on the face. The only downside abt it is that I had to take 1 weeks off from work and stay home, because it forms scabs on my entire face, which fell off in 5-7 days. Redness occurred after all the scabs fell off, and it faded away in... more
"My brown spots are still there. -..."
The doctor was great and the pain not too bad but I didn't see any improvement at all after my first treatment. Which makes me wonder if the strenght was strong enough compared to others results.

Illustrator, designer, as well as the creator of the Dust universe – Paolo Parente – sat down to chat with me at the Dust Devils Southwest event held at Imperial Outpost Games this past Friday and Saturday. I have to say talking with Paolo off the record before the interview and on the record during was a blast; what a truly fun and outspoken guy! Plus a real gentleman also. I'm hoping he'll be making a trip to San Diego for the con this year, even if it's just to shoot the breeze without publication.
If you'd like to know the latest goings on in the Dust universe swing over to Paolo's Dust website. Of course many Dust products are available through Fantasy Flight Games and you can also order items which may not be available at FFG from Paolo's site.
I do have to point out because of the event going on, and all the tables set up, Paolo and I could only grab a spot in the corner of the store to conduct the interview. My apologies for the sun glare as a backlight but we made the best of the situation.
Thanks for the interview. I like the Dust Warfare rules, especially the reaction, command and suppression rules and with an Amazon prime membership, you can actually pick up models without selling a kidney and they look nice. Combined with your upcoming painting tutorials, I may have to take the plunge and get some more models to supplement my copy of Dust Tactics Core Set.
Great interview Jeff and thanks for coming out to see Paolo and us at the event.

WHITMIRE — The Whitmire Jaycees will once again host their annual Party in the Pines event this Thursday through Saturday.
The fun will kick off around 6 p.m. Thursday with gospel night. Christianna Gilliam, president of the Whitmire Jaycees, said they will have local gospel choir groups such as Calvary Baptist Church, Marie Friedman, Praise dancers of Sims Chapel, and Shallow Outreach.
Each night, Gilliam said they will also have vendors from food to crafts available for the community. There will also be inflatables, games, rides, and more for children.
There is a small fee for tickets to ride rides, but Gilliam was unsure at the time of what the exact cost would be.
Friday is considered their locals night featuring talent from Whitmire Community School. Last year, the talent portion was held on Saturday night, but Gilliam said they wanted to move that up a day this year.
Martha Suber, assistant principal, will also be the deejay that night, followed by the Maddy Phifer band. Around 11 p.m. Friday, Gilliam said that night will wrap up, but not before the street dance, which she said the community really enjoys.
The Party in the Pines annual parade will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday. Gilliam said participants should contact Amy Silvers at 803-944-1959 or Lauren Folk at 803-924-7956 to sign up and get more information. They will be taking floats and entries until Saturday morning.
Parking for the event will be available on Railroad Avenue, Heritage Park parking lot, Market Street, and a small portion of Gilliam Street.
The carnival with the rides and vendors will open at 2 p.m. Saturday, featuring the Bucket Brigade, along with several singers, dancers, and other entertainment, Gilliam said.
Performer Cody Webb will entertain the crowd beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Gilliam said a lot of work goes into planning the event every year, and the process began last November.
"It takes a lot of teamwork and hard work," Gilliam said.
The Jaycees have held fundraisers up until the event to raise money for costs associated with having Party in the Pines each year. Gilliam said they've also received various donations Roche Pharmacy in Whitmire, El Poblano in Union, First Citizens in Whitmire, United Wood Treatment and others.
Gilliam said the Jaycees were also thankful for Whitmire Community School. Gilliam said Lauren Woodward's art class was helpful in making signs to hang around town to advertise the festival.
Other events the Whitmire Jaycees have planned include a golf tournament on Aug. 2, the annual cheer fund they do each year around Christmas, and a new chili cook-off they hope to hold this fall.
For more information on the festival, follow Party in the Pines Festival on Facebook.

The main varietal here is Garnacha grown from old-vines up to 80-100 years old.
Varietal Blend: 50% Macabeo, 35% Parellada, 15% Xarel-lo<
The white varietals of Parellada, Chardonnay, Macabeo and Xarel-lo are grown in Jaume Serra's vineyards situated in the Alt Penedés, a sub region of the Penedés, and are used to produce the area's famous sparkling wines, called "Cava". By law, Cava must be made in the Methode Champenois or Champagne Method. Due to European regulations prohibiting use of that term, Cava is now labeled as Methode Tradicional, which has the same requirements with an added stipulation that cava must age for a minimum of nine months on the lees before release. After researching local yeasts, the Jaume Serra winery has taken the extraordinary step of importing their yeast from Champagne, France in order to impart the finest quality to their Cavas.
Our Blanc de Noirs is predominantly made from hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes, the hallmarks of which are a vibrant red fruit character. The creamy palate and rosy hue are a result of a small addition of Vin Gris, which was blended into the base cuvée. Over forty different clones and selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are planted on our 340-acre estate in the Sonoma Carneros district. This allows us to consistently produce cuvées with complexity and clear fruit expression.
Every wine evokes the image and emotions from the South of France; "Art de Vivre" – the "art of life." Committed to producing quality wines of great value, Gerard is hands on in every facet which bears his name… and has been fortunate to receive great accolades from World Wide press reinforcing his dedication.
"I welcome all to experience the South of France; here at Chateau L'Hospitalet or at your own home or favorite restaurant."
One of the most versatile reds we produce, try Cashmere as an accompaniment to grilled salmon, pork roast or duck.
Blend: 35% Mourvedre, 24% Syrah, 23% Grenache, 18% Petite Sirah
Washington Syrah exhibits dark, juicy fruit character, brilliant color, a complex varietal gaminess and a relatively low tannin level.
The Grenache adds a lovely lusciousness to the wine with raspberry, blueberry and floral notes adding prettiness. Both of the afore mentioned varieties also give a little white pepper character which has been accentuated in the cooler vintage and really acts as a point of interest.
Finally, the Mourvedre provides a perception of elegance and restraint through its lovely line of lovely red fruits with a hint of dried herb and importantly, a fine chalky tannin that carries all these characters to a long and wonderfully moreish finish.
Blend: 90% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah
The Tilia wines are made at Bodegas Esmeralda, a Catena family winery in the Eastern region of Mendoza that is dedicated to making value wines for the Argentine domestic market. Tilia wines offer a unique combination of fruit sourced from the traditional Eastern region and the dynamic Southern region of Mendoza. The Eastern region of Mendoza enjoys warm, sunny days and cool desert nights. The grapes have very ripe, rich fruit flavors and excellent mid-palate depth and concentration. Bright sunshine and low temperatures of the Southern region lend a cool freshness. The fruit from this area shows clean acid balance and soft, supple tannins.
Tilia is dedicated to responsible use of the environment. The winemaking and viticultural team actively engage in many practices and programs throughout the community to implement sustainability. Water conservation and reuse, minimal use of pesticides and organic fertilization are several examples of the team's dedication. Furthermore, the entire Tilia viticultural team attends regular sustainability training sessions at the National University of Cuyo and National Agricultural Research Institute. They take this training into the field to share and implement with their grower partners.
Blend: 78% Zinfandel, 22% Petite Sirah
Francis puts it best, saying the winery is meant to be "a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy all the best things in life – food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life."

Sharks, especially large species, are highly mobile organisms with a complex life history and wide distribution. Fossil records of C. megalodon indicate that it was cosmopolitan, and commonly occurred in subtropical to temperate latitudes. Prior to the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, the seas were relatively warmer. This would have made it possible for the species to live in all the oceans of the world.
C. megalodon had enough behavioral flexibility to inhabit wide range of marine environments (i.e. coastal shallow waters, coastal upwelling, swampy coastal lagoons,[34] sandy littorals,[34] and offshore deep water environments), and exhibited a transient life-style. Adult C. megalodon were not abundant in shallow water environments, and mostly lurked offshore. C. megalodon may have moved between coastal and oceanic waters, particularly in different stages in its life cycle.
