The start line often comes at the end of a rigorous week of trail riding. Most of us understand that racing is, even at the highest level of sport, only a small percentage of the time spent in the saddle. Many have two wheel sets – one training set used for day-in-day out riding and another reserved solely for racing. Those days are over. The Enve XC Tubular 29er Rim 32h is the lightest in the Enve mountain line with the mind set of what goes down, must first go up. Stiff, light, and durable this rim's bloodline is racing. If the mention of 100K makes you think of riding and not how much money you want to make, then this rim is for you. The XC is an investment in speed, weight, and balance that will reward you and your rig.

IRVINE – An Irvine councilman's attempt to befriend a Vietnamese city brought several hundred outraged Vietnamese Americans to City Hall on Tuesday.
"We love our people, but we can't be friendly with the Communists," said Anna Nguyen of Temple City, who took the day off from work to travel to Irvine. She, like others, left Vietnam after the fall of Saigon in April 1975.
At issue was a proposal from Councilman Larry Agran to add three international locations – Nha Trang in Vietnam, Karachi in Pakistan and Baoji in China – to Irvine's friendship city program, a less formal precursor to its sister city program.
Ultimately, the City Council voted 3-2 to not persue friendship city status with any of the cities because none were vetted by the city's multicultural affairs department and asked staff to craft new language for the program that would exclude any city from a country that sponsors or participates in human rights violations. Agran and Councilwoman Beth Krom voted against the motion. The 3-2 vote also authorized a letter to be written to Vietnam's Consul General to inform him that "we in Irvine support freedom."
Agran said his original proposal didn't come without consultation. And there was no indication of controversy before he made the proposal, he said, disagreeing with a claim by Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen that he had ignored her pleas to remove the idea before Tuesday. He never spoke with her, he said. Nguyen's representatives responded Wednesday saying while the supervisor herself hadn't spoken with Agran, she had sent a letter to Council members on April 2 and one of her staffers had called and spoken to Agran last Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Agran said he did speak with Irvine Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tallia Hart early on, asking if it would be unwise to pursue a friendship with a Vietnamese city because of lingering anger.
"She thought that those angry feelings were receding somewhat, particularly with trade," he said.
Agran cited his work in the 1980s when he traveled to Vietnam to help secure the release of five captured individuals so they might be reunited with their families in Orange County. Fourteen months after his trip, they were released; he said his only regret was that it took so long because he and others had no influence with local officials to speed the process.
"And that lesson stuck with me," he said.
Those who disagreed with Agran's proposal came by the busload, arriving hours before the start of an Irvine City Council meeting. One bus started in Westminster, while others drove from Temple City and San Diego. Hundreds holding flags bearing the colors of South Vietnam and the United States, who listened to the national anthems of both, lined up outside, listening to speeches delivered on a megaphone.
Since the council's agenda was released Friday, word spread quickly in the Vietnamese American community, and leaders convened community meetings in an effort to put a stop to the effort. By Monday evening, Agran sent a memo to city staff saying that in light of the concerns, he would not pursue Nha Trang at the meeting, just the Chinese and Pakistani cities.
That didn't deter many from arriving at City Hall on Tuesday – not a good day to get a business license, as one driver circling the parking lot found out. An hour before the meeting's start, the parking lots were full, as were the council chambers, which seat a few hundred.
The swiftly formed rally was a collaborative effort including donated buses, said Van Tran, a prominent Vietnamese politician and former assemblyman now running for a state Board of Equalization seat.
"We escaped from that country, and we came here," said Peter Pham, president of the Vietnamese Federation of San Diego, who said he escaped a labor camp in 1977. He stood outside City Hall holding a large South Vietnamese flag, with his wife, Helen. "We are the ones fighting for freedom. We moved here. We live here. ... And we cannot allow any Communist to come here."
It isn't the first time Irvine's choice of international friends has attracted controversy. In 2006, the City Council attempted to befriend a Chinese city but was told it would have to end its longtime relationship with a Taiwanese city to do so. Ultimately, negotiations to make the Xuhui District in China a sister city fell apart, but not before angering Taiwanese residents.

No seriously, the ref on the halfcourt line calls it a backcourt violation and gets overruled by the baseline ref and they don't even review it? Not to mention Durant and Westbrook shooting more ft's than the entire Denver team combined. This **** stinks, it ****ing stinks. Sports entertainment **** off.
yeah that was a terrible call...but the thunder is the better team right now and would have won the series anyway...this is a good denver team though and i look for them to get better post any lockouts...and it was nice to see the knicks getting swept...
Did the Hawks just guarantee that Howard won't be playing in Orlando past next season? Either way, bring it Atlanta!!

I don't think the Lakers are winning two games in Dallas. Which is a shame because once they're out you miht as well hand the trophy to Miami.
If we get past Atlanta, we'll take out Miami.
I hope.

More And More Firearms Businesses Refuse To Sell To Anti-Gun States
Perhaps it's not fair to deny law enforcement the means to purchase a gun, but, many states are doing all they can to deny their citizens their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms
(The Blaze) Last Friday TheBlaze reported on a growing list of gun manufacturers and retailers who had stopped selling to law enforcement in states that were enacting stringent new gun laws.
Since that report, the initial list (seen below) has changed. However, none of the "big three" (Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson) providers to law enforcement have stepped up and joined the companies who have chosen to take a public stand on the issue. In less than two weeks, at least 18 companies have made the decision to stop selling to law enforcement in states that limit a private citizen's right to own a gun.
- Olympic Arms, Inc
- La Rue Tactical
- EFI, LLC — Extreme Firepower
- York Arms
- Templar Custom
- Cheaper Than Dirt
- Bullwater Enterprises
- Westfork Armory
- Smith Enterprise
- Alex Arms
- Spike's Tactical
- Quality Arms
- Liberty Suppressors
- Doublestar Corp
- American Spirit Arms
- Trident Armory
- Head Down Products
- J&G Sales
In some cases, like Armalite, the companies will, in fact, sell to individual police officers who are purchasing the weapons themselves, but not the actual police department. I really like the stance of Trident Armory
Sunday night, 9pm. As of this moment, all contract bids and offers, as well as any current production contracts for any and all US government agencies and affiliates by Trident Armory are null and void.
"We will no longer participate with, or work for a government where the "rights" of the people are able to be adjusted by the whim of the government"." I will not build guns which can be used to disarm my fellow Americans
And here's the NRA's ad, which will surely annoy liberals and gun-grabbers with the notion that government doesn't grant us rights and doesn't make us free

After Shalit Deal, Joy Muffled by Reluctance
The cost is staggering, the reward inarticulable
Israel is a young country, and not only in terms of its own lifespan. More than 27 percent of its citizens are aged 0-14, and that group is growing. Which means it's safe to estimate that roughly one in ten Israelis has never been alive during a time that Gilad Shalit, himself only 25, was a free man. That changes tomorrow. Or such, anyway, is the plan.
And quite a plan: Haaretz reports there will be 11 phases, a series of preordained moves in which the several sides (the Israelis, Hamas, the Egyptians) take various steps to reassure the others that they will follow through on their ends of a bargain that will ultimately see over 1,000 prisoners go free. For example, Israel releases a few dozen female prisoners; then Shalit is transferred, via the Rafah crossing, from Gaza to Egypt, only at which point will Israel begin releasing some of its male prisoners. (Upon transfer from Egypt to Israel, Shalit "will be given his old cell phone in order to telephone his mother.") Prime Minister Netanyahu is playing an extensive, symbolic role in the latter part of the proceedings. After all, this was his decision, and his to own—for better and for worse. He was reportedly difficult to persuade throughout, right back to when chief negotiator (and former Mossad official) David Meidan first made informal contacts with Hamas.
It was not hard to see why Netanyahu, or any Israeli, might hesitate to make this deal, and the disclosure of the names of nearly 500—almost half—of the Palestinian prisoners whom Israel will release makes it even less hard. "These are not just prisoners with 'blood on their hands,'" Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff (who wrote about the Shalit situation for Tablet Magazine) report. "Rather, the list includes some of the founders of the Hamas military wing, such as Zaher Jabarin and Yihya Sanawar, and prisoners involved in some of the most ignoble terror attacks in Israel, including the 1989 attack on bus 405 and the 1994 abduction of Israel Defense Forces soldier Nachshon Wachsman." And the people behind the 2001 Tel Aviv night club attack. And the 2001 bombing of the Jerusalem Sbarro. And the Passover massacre at Netanya in 2002 (for me, the always-remember-where-I-was moment of the Second Intifada). More names, and the crimes they committed, are listed here.
It is therefore unsurprising that the deal has not been greeted with unanimous approval. Three cabinet members—Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the Yisrael Beiteinu head; Uzi Landau, the infrastructure minister, also of YB; and Moshe Ya'alon, of Netanyahu's own Likud—voted against the deal outright. Interior Minister Eli Yishai, head of Shas, suggested freeing certain Jewish terrorists as part of the deal for the sake of "balances." And speaking of: one entrepreneurial soul, an Israeli Jew who claimed he was related to terrorist victims, vandalized Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's grave in protest (click for ugly, important picture). Victims' families have the opportunity to petition the High Court to overturn releases, but the court is expected to stare the government's decisis on this one. In a touching article, the Times' Ethan Bronner reports on two families of victims of prisoners who will be released—one of which opposes the deal, the other of which supports it. Two Jews, two opinions. (A new poll suggests that 79 percent of Israelis support the exchange.)
Is it a gift to terrorists? Plainly. Is it massively, just gargantuan-like, lopsided? Inarguably. The only consolation to be taken is that some of the terrorists Hamas has wanted these past five-plus years were not included (and nor is Marwan Barghouti, although he is a special case: it is far too complicated to try to parse whether Israel should truly wish him jailed, or Hamas truly wish him freed). It's not even clear that Hamas will honor elements of the deal barring the return to the territories of some prisoners, who are being deported upon their releases. Is it going to lead to further kidnappings of Israeli soldiers in exchange for further prisoners? Well, why wouldn't it? This is what happens when you literally negotiate with terrorists.
Meanwhile, is Israel getting much in return besides Shalit? Freeing Israeli-American Ilan Grapel will require more Israeli prisoners released. Turkey claims it aided the mediation, but Egypt disputes it, and certainly the deal is not suddenly going to repair Israeli-Turkish relations. Aaron David Miller is quite correct when he notes that this will have no effect on the peace process—in fact, in empowering Hamas and marginalizing the Palestinian Authority, it's pretty sure to hurt it (further).
If the deal seems totally bewildering to non-Israeli readers, well, maybe it's simply bewildering. Or maybe we don't understand what it means to live in a society where one soldier can be everyone's son, and everyone's son can provide a reason for staying together, and engineering a major strategic defeat is worth it so that none of your citizens can claim they were never alive at a time that Gilad Shalit was a free man.

Potential partners say no to Paes for Olympics
NEW DELHI Indian tennis has turned into a soap opera in the weeks leading up to the London Olympics, with insults and accusations of treachery flying and some players openly seething at their doubles partners.
The conflict centers on Leander Paes, India's most recognizable face in tennis to the outside world, but an athlete who has apparently burned bridges with nearly every one of his potential teammates.
Paes became a national hero when he won a bronze medal in singles at the 1996 Atlanta Games, breaking a 44-year drought of individual Olympic medals for India. At 39, he's still considered one of the country's best medal hopes as one of the world's top doubles players.
The problem is there's a lack of Indian players willing to partner with him.
He was initially supposed to play in India's only men's double entry with former partner Mahesh Bhupathi, with whom he won 26 doubles titles on the professional tour, including three in Grand Slams.
But Bhupathi, who also has an enviable record in doubles play and was ranked 14th in the world, refused to play with Paes because he had been teamed with Rohan Bopanna on the ATP circuit in preparation for the Olympics. Bopanna, ranked 12th in doubles, turned Paes down for the same reason.
Indian tennis officials scrambled to put Bopanna and Bhupathi together as a second doubles entry and partner Paes with 307th-ranked Vishnu Vardhan, whom Paes proceeded to publicly belittle.
"I don't think he's been to Wimbledon before," said Paes, ranked seventh in doubles. "I don't even know if he has grass-court shoes, poor guy."
Paes was so reluctant to play with Vardhan, Indian tennis officials had to sweeten the deal, promising he could play mixed doubles, considered a more realistic medal opportunity, with India's top female player, Sania Mirza.
Mirza, who had just won the French Open mixed doubles with Bhupathi, was not happy.
"As an Indian woman belonging to the 21st century, what I find disillusioning is the humiliating manner in which I was put up as a bait to try and pacify one of the disgruntled stalwarts of Indian tennis," she said.
Trying to calm the angry Mirza, tennis officials named her mother as a team manager, sending her to London as well.
The conflict between Paes and Bhupathi has been a major talking point in Indian sport, and even five-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand weighed in on the debate this week, saying the affair had been mishandled.
"They have disagreements and that's normal in a sport. But they should have done it much ahead and done it quietly when there's time. It's unpleasant," Anand said.
Veteran sports analyst Ayaz Memon said the divisions in the squad cannot be overcome quickly.
"There's been so much bad blood, some of it's bound to linger on," he said. "It's not the best thing to happen, but then the Olympics are a strange event and you might just see people play above their levels."
Former national champion and Davis Cup coach Nandan Bal believes Paes' best chance of a medal is in mixed doubles.

|ESPN.com: World Cup 2010
|[Print without images]
PRETORIA, South Africa -- As we edge toward the World Cup quarterfinals, now seems like a perfect time to take a breath, put down our vuvuzelas and discuss what we've seen so far in this tournament.
It certainly hasn't lacked in excitement, drama or foolishness. So here's a look at the best and worst stories so far of the World Cup.
South American dominance: Brazil and Argentina are the two heavyweights, but this continent has shown that its soccer excellence extends far beyond those two countries. Five of the final 16 teams were from South America, including pleasant surprises such as Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. And with Paraguay punching its ticket to the quarterfinals, that means that, for the first time ever, four of the final eight teams are from South America. If the South Americans continue to own this tournament, we could be headed for an all-South American final. Last time that happened, the hottest technology item around was Sputnik.
Asian emergence: The future looks bright for Japan and South Korea, which both advanced past the group stage. Japan's ascension was truly stunning when you consider that this team seemed headed for disaster before the World Cup -- so much so that manager Takeshi Okada offered to resign as a way of apologizing for the team's poor performance in friendly matches heading into the World Cup. The Japanese acquitted themselves with their second overall appearance in the knockout stage, and South Korea continued to establish itself as the most powerful Asian team. South Korea is one of just six nations to qualify for the past seven World Cups (including 2010), and it took a gritty effort from Uruguay to oust the South Koreans from the round of 16. And although North Korea was outscored 12-1 in the group stage -- including a 7-0 stomping by Portugal -- this was the North Koreans' first appearance in the World Cup since 1966. Baby steps.
Ghana: I know Ghana's success came at the expense of the United States, but you'd have to be pretty coldhearted not to be moved by its appearance in the quarters against Uruguay. If the Black Stars beat Uruguay, it will be the first time an African team has reached the semifinals. And with this being the first time the World Cup is being played on African soil, having an African team make this deep a tournament run is special.
Diego Maradona: He is the most interesting man at the World Cup. Bold and inappropriate, he's every journalist's dream. One of the many Maradona gems is when he was asked by reporters whether he allowed his players to have sex at the World Cup. "Of course, as long as the women do all the work," Maradona responded. He also has promised to run naked in the streets of Buenos Aires if Argentina wins the World Cup. Hope it's not a chilly day.
Officiating: I'm sure you're wondering how the porous officiating could make a best-of list. Some of the calls truly have been abysmal -- from the disallowed goal in the U.S.-Algeria game to the overlooked goal in the England-Germany match -- but the end result is that the outrage seems to have shamed FIFA president Sepp Blatter into considering the use of video replay.
South Africa, as a country, reintroduces itself to the world: The South Africans have put on a beautiful World Cup. Of course, any international event is bound to have its share of problems, but the South Africans have proved they have the infrastructure and resources to host events of this magnitude. Expect this country to be a major player in bidding for the 2020 Olympics.
The death of Nelson Mandela's great-granddaughter: The World Cup got off to a sad start when Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter, Zenani, was killed in a car crash on the way home from a pre-World Cup concert. Mandela, who is 91, understandably canceled his plans to attend the World Cup opener, but there are reports Mandela might make an appearance at the World Cup's closing ceremonies. If he does, it will supply a perfect ending to a magnificent event.
France, Italy and England -- the downfall of a disastrous, dramatic trio: These three nations were easily the most disappointing of all the World Cup teams. France bowed out chaotically, not only playing poorly but refusing to practice after Nicolas Anelka was sent home. And since Les Bleus' ouster, the French government has launched a full-scale investigation into the team's World Cup unraveling, making you wonder whether Kenneth Starr is running the country instead of President Nicolas Sarkozy. Italy, the reigning world champion, finished last in its group. And not only did England slink its way out of South Africa with just three goals to its credit but star Wayne Rooney performed the worst of any World Cup star. Rooney didn't score a single goal and managed just 13 shots in four games.
Officiating blunders: Although some good might come out of the referees' errors, bad officiating shouldn't be this prolific on a stage this big. FIFA's bumbling response to it was embarrassing, and if it weren't for public pressure, FIFA would keep things status quo. A failure on numerous levels.
The verbal and physical assaults directed toward the media: It's not unusual for the media to have confrontations with their sources, but Algeria's Rafik Saifi severely crossed the line when, witnesses say, the substitute slapped Algerian female sports journalist Asma Halimi after the United States' 1-0 victory. Also, Slovakian coach Vladimir Weiss threatened to beat up a reporter who questioned his strategy. I know the media often make people angry, but this behavior is ugly and unprofessional.

The shame of it all
Okay, it's been nearly a full year, I realize as I look at my poor, abandoned blog for the first time in months. I have to post.
And then all of the sudden I'm totally inspired to post because I finally got around to reading the NY Time's list of the best 10 Modern Love columns and this one resonated with me so deeply. Yes, it's nice to believe that I'm not a problem to be solved, just someone who needed to meet the right guy. The one who, as the author puts it, loves me even though I'm one of the women who is "still cranky and neurotic, haven't got our careers together, and sometimes talk too loudly, drink too much and swear at the television news. We have gray hairs and unfashionable clothes and bad attitudes."
And here I was thinking it was me this whole time.

Birch Plywood Used in Creation of "World's Lightest Table"
Posted by Michaelle Bradford | Posted: 01/10/2014 3:39PM
Birch aircraft plywood was the material of choice when London-based designer Benjamin Hubert sought to create the "world's lightest table."
With materials from Corelam, Hubert designed the Ripple table, which weights 9kg (19.8 lbs) and meausres 2.5m (8.2 ft) by 1m (3.2 ft). The new manufacturing process he developed for corrugated plywood in furniture allows for 70-80% less material use than a standard table. The top surface is made up of a flat sheet of birch plywood on a corrugated one, and the A-frame legs consist of two corrugated plywood layers.
Ripple, which can be assembled by one person, was introduced at the London Design Festival in 2013.
Hubert, an industrial designer, founded his London firm in 2009. The award-winning international studio specializes in furniture, lighting, consumer goods architectural installations and art direction.

Neighborhood: Duboce Triangle
Cuisine: Chinese
The decor does not reflect the seriously good dishes served up here. Instead, it's a pleasantly tactile backdrop for some terrific Chinese food that's a little Hunan, a little Szechuan, a little Mandarin and entirely wonderful. The food is basic, but prepared with care and served up with a smile to locals who keep coming back for tasty pot stickers, their scrumptious potato-pancake with scallions, or the Chicken-Corn Soup and Orange Beef with Mushrooms. It all goes down great with the nice selection of Chinese beers available and the laid-back atmosphere.

The Ultra Series (Ultraman)

Re: The Ultra Series (Ultraman)
Some of my earliest memories are of watching the original Ultraman at a school mates house when I was in either kindergarten or first grade. One of the monsters in the show is a re-use of the Godzilla suit with some added attachments......which Ultraman rips off in bloody fashion, just leaving the Godzilla suit.
I remember watching that ep as a kid and my friends and I all thought Utraman was fighting Godzilla. Even years later, there were still images that stuck with me, even though I wouldn't be able to tell you which ep they came from.
However we all remembered the Beta Capsule (easy enough to find a sub for in those "pre-merchandise the shit out of everything days".) and would cross hands making his ray.
But for whatever reason, Ultraman wasn't something that aired here outside of those early 70's broadcasts, as far as I know. So it was always this dim memory of something really cool. Thankfully, the internet made it easy to look into Ultraman and I was shocked to find that there were so many spin-off's!
Then the DVD's came out, I've only picked up volume 1, but it was amazing how so much of it came back in the moment upon viewing. The fucking awesome outfits the Science Patrol wore, those cool pre-next gen symbol communicators, the vtol jet with the flames, the opening credits.
I remember sitting there going "I REMEMBER THAT!! How did I forget that?" I'd love to see that movie you've got a pic of, I would've thought it'd been available here by now. I'm guessing the original Ultraman is fourth from the right?

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader the Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Hardcover)
Book five of The Chronicles of Narnia continues the saga of C.S. Lewis's beloved land of fantastic creatures and unlikely heroes. Readers of any age will be entranced as the crew of the Dawn Treader approaches the "Worlds End."
About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis was born in 1898. Known as "Jack" by his friends, Lewis and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, were part of a writer's club, The Inklings, who would meet at the local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis's fascination with fairytales, myths, and ancient legends coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood led him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books in the immensely popular Chronicles of Narnia followed, and the final title, The Last Battle, received the Carnegie Award, one of the highest marks of excellence in children's literature.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales mas importantes del siglo veinte y podria decirse que fue el escritor cristiano mas influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeno hasta que se jubilo. Sus contribuciones a la critica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantastica y teologia popular le trajeron fama y aclamacion a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribio mas de treinta libros, lo cual le permitio alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aun atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada ano. Sus mas distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Cronicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.
Pauline Baynes has produced hundreds of wonderful illustrations for the seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia. In 1968 she was awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for her outstanding contribution to children's literature.

Great copper product

This copper is tolerated by even the sensitive fish. Unfortunately the Seachem test kit is often unreliable.
I have used the Salifert test kit with this copper.
Pros: Safe to use with sensitive fish
Cons: The seachem copper test kit is unreliable

Latest American Chemical Society Podcast: New Water Filter Kills Disease-Causing Bacteria
The latest episode in the American Chemical Society's (ACS) award-winning podcast series, "Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions," focuses on development and successful initial tests of an inexpensive new filtering technology that kills up to 98 percent of disease-causing bacteria in water in just seconds without clogging.
The technology could aid many of the almost one billion people lacking access to clean, safe drinking water. A report on the work appears in the American Chemical Society's monthly journal Nano Letters.
Most water purifiers do their jobs by trapping bacteria in tiny pores of filter material. Pushing water through those filters, however, requires electric pumps and demands lots of energy. The filters also can get clogged, so they often have to be replaced. A new material developed by Yi Cui, Ph.D., of Stanford University could avoid many deficiencies of traditional filters. For starters, it does not trap bacteria like most technologies. It kills them outright.
"The removal of bacteria and other organisms from water is very important, not only for drinking and sanitation but also in industry as there's a frequent need to replace filters due to clogging," Cui says in the podcast. "The product we've developed could dramatically lower the cost of many filtration technologies for water as well as food, air, and pharmaceuticals, where the need to replace filters is common and very challenging."

I know you are not supposed to take your temperature once you find out you are pregnant, but I did for the first 28 days of my first two pregnancies.
Pregnancy #1 ended in miscarriage after a temperature dip of 98.0 for 2 consecutive days.
Pregnancy #2 did not dip below 98.3 after 10 DPO. It was a healthy pregnancy.
I fear that my current pregnancy is more similar to pregnancy #1 than pregnancy #2. Should I be concerned?
I'm not looking for "stop charting" as an answer. I would like to hear from others who were charting and experienced temperature dips in early pregnancy. What was the pregnancy outcome?
Thank you.

I didn't temp after getting my positive. I can see why you are concerned. Your temps do look like they are headed south (TCOYF has indicated that this could be a sign of impending miscarriage. It said could, not is!) but you did have one low temp on the 7th (11DPO) and a lot of the data (other temps are missing). Your last non-pregnant cycle didn't dip below 98.0 after O and AF still showed up. TCOYF also says that 18 days of temps above the coverline is a positive chart for pregnancy. You have 17 above the coverline. At 11DPO you were at 98.0 so that is different from your pregnancy #2. Technically the rule is as long as you are above the coverline you are safe but I understand that your history has been different. I don't think that there is really anyway to tell what's going to happen at this point. You are stuck in wait and see land.

Thanks, pattimomma. My temperature was back up this morning, so maybe this would be a good day to stop temping.
Regarding the missing data: This is what happens when I try to be nonchalant about TTC/pregnancy.

Javelinas Gameday: 10.21.06
Opponent: Midwestern State
When: 7 p.m. today
Where: Javelina Stadium, Kingsville
Records: MSU 5-2 (1-2 Lone Star Conference South, 3-2 LSC
overall); Texas A&M-Kingsville 3-4 (0-2 LSC South, 2-3 LSC overall)
Series record: Javelinas lead 5-2
Last meeting: MSU 41-14 (2005)
Last week: Mustangs lost
to Tarleton State 38-17; Javelinas beat East Central (Okla.) 37-34
in three OTs
Radio: KOPY-AM 1070
and KTAI-FM 91.1
Internet: javelinaathletics.com
midwestern state
Passing - Rahsaan Bell 109-147-3-186.0, 11 TDs. Receiving - Mookie Davis 40-560 2 TDs.
Rushing - Daniel Polk 74.3, 6 TDs. Tackles - Devon Campbell 44.
Midwestern State is second in the country in total offense (470.9) and scoring offense (40.9). It didn't necessarily show last week when Tarleton State shut out the Mustangs in the second half, holding MSU to 107 yards in the final 30 minutes. "The whooped our tails. They played better than we did. That's kind of what happened," MSU coach Bill Maskill said. Rahsaan Bell and Daniel Polk provide a 1-2 punch at quarterback for the Indians. Bell obviously has the better passing numbers, although Polk leads the LSC in pass efficiency, and Polk has the better running numbers. But either player can be deadly by land or air.
Ross Harrison, hobbled with an ankle injury in the win over Angelo State on Sept. 30, didn't play against West Texas A&M and had limited carries last week. Still, Harrison needs 239 yards to break the school career rushing record of 2,541 held by Indianapolis Colts RB Dominic Rhodes. With one season remaining, Polk needs 699 yards to tie Rhodes' mark. Defensively, the Mustangs have the tools. Maskill likes the play of FS Devon Campbell, LBs Lance Gardner (40 tackles) and Cedric Johnson (32 tackles) and DE Justin Williams (23 tackles, 4.5 for losses). But the Mustangs are much like the Javelinas in that they are susceptible to allowing big plays.
Passing - Jeremy Heatley 99-186-9-159.7, 6 TDs. Receiving - Jareko Taylor 28-442, 4 TDs.
Rushing - Raymorris Miller 65.7, 5 TDs. Tackles - Mike Martinez 71.
The results seven ballgames into the season have been mixed for A&M-Kingsville. There have been the positives and the negatives. Yet there should be a little more of the latter, at least in the opinion of coach Richard Cundiff. "After seven weeks I would hope that we were doing a few more things right. I expect us not to be perfect and we won't be all year long," he said.
Jeremy Heatley continues to make the requisite amount of progress. Last week, he threw for 171 yards and a TD and had his best rushing night of the season with 35 yards. In the longest game quarter-wise in school history and third overtime contest of the season, Raymorris Miller recorded his first 100-yard rushing effort of the season with 109 yards and a TD on 24 carries, and Jareko Taylor took over the team lead in receptions with seven catches for 105 yards and a score. The Javs did give up a TD on a kickoff return but the other phases of the kicking game were good. Freshman Cody Miller averaged 43.2 yards on five punts and freshman Scott Schlebach was good on three of four field-goal attempts, including the game-winning 22-yarder in the third overtime. RBs Webster Patrick, Carlo Johnson and Osazee Eguae all had carries behind Miller and the Javs were able to come away with the win even after ECU scored 13 unanswered points to close regulation.

Test requires operation of the plant continuously for nearly 100 hours
Chennai Metrowater on Wednesday launched the trial run of the support infrastructure that it has created for the 100 million litres per day capacity desalination plant at Kattupalli, near Minjur.
Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated the trial run of the facilities, including a 38 km-long pipeline to convey the treated water to the city, underground sumps and pumping stations in areas such as Manali and Madhavaram.
The work was taken up by the Metrowater under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.
To be ready by month-end
The desalination plant is expected to be ready by this month-end. Chennai Water Desalination Limited (CWDL) is implementing the project on DBOOT (Design, Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) basis. It has started the preliminary works for performance test of the plant, according to a press release.
The requisites for the test include operation of the plant continuously for nearly 100 hours and whether the quality of the treated water is as per the agreement with Metrowater.
Representatives of ILF Mantech Consortium, an independent consultant that is monitoring the work, and Metrowater would certify the performance of the plant after which the treated water would be supplied to the city.
Mr.Stalin had laid the foundation stone for the plant in February 2007. Metrowater had entered into agreement with CWDL for bulk purchase of water for 25 years.
Municipal Administration and Water Supply Principal Secretary Niranjan Mardi and Chennai Metrowater Managing Director Shiv Das Meena were present when the trial run was launched.

|NBA Odds: Los Angeles Lakers at Seattle Sonics Spread, Preview & Public Bets
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Monday, 14 January 2008 14:00
Sonics Host Lakers
Andrew Bynum has been one of the big reasons for the Los Angeles Lakers' resurgence this season. But the Lakers will be without him on Monday as they try to win their seventh straight game.
Bynum, who sprained his left knee on Sunday, won't be with the team as the Lakers visit the Seattle SuperSonics, who will be trying to avoid their seventh straight loss.
Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made Los Angeles -8 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 209.5 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 63% of bets for this game have been placed on Los Angeles -8 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
In the third quarter of their 100-99 home win over Memphis on Sunday, Bynum landed on teammate Lamar Odom's foot and was helped off the court. While X-rays were negative, Bynum stayed behind in Los Angeles for an MRI.
He was walking under his own power with a slight limp after Sunday's game.
"I was pretty scared, but the X-rays were negative," Bynum said. "I never heard a pop. Just when I bend it, it hurts. I'm feeling fine, it's not as bad as I thought. I put ice on it, and it felt better right away."
The 7-foot Bynum already had 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting and nine rebounds in 20 minutes before his injury. He's gone 23-of-30 (76.7 percent) from the floor in his last three games, and leads the NBA with a 63.6 shooting percentage.
The 20-year-old also leads the Lakers (25-11) with 10.2 rebounds per game.
"It's unfortunate. It's part of the game," Kobe Bryant said. "It happens to all of us. It's going to change our rhythm up a lot. The next couple games or a week or so might be a little shaky. That's good that he's walking."
Without him, the Lakers struggled to hold off the Grizzlies, who outscored them 29-20 in the fourth quarter. But Bryant scored 37 points for the second straight game and a late free throw by Kwame Brown, who is likely to start in place of Bynum, provided the winning margin.
Against Seattle, the Lakers will be looking for their fifth straight road win for the first time since the 2003-04 season. They've already won six in a row for the first time since an 11-game winning streak that same season, averaging 112.0 points during the run and scoring at least 100 each time.
The Lakers have the NBA's second-longest active winning streak behind Dallas' seven-game run, and are also just a half-game behind the Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns, who are tied atop the Western Conference.
Seattle (9-27), which is only ahead of Minnesota in the West, lost its sixth straight game on Friday, 90-70 at home to Dallas.
The SuperSonics have averaged just 84.8 points and shot 39.3 percent from the field during their current skid, including just 35.4 percent against Dallas. Leading scorer Kevin Durant was just 4-of-13 with 15 points in that game.
"On offense we just need a little more consistency," Seattle guard Delonte West said. "... Teams are kind of figuring out what we like to do, and they're taking that away from us. Sometimes you have to get to a Plan B."
The Sonics are hoping the return of injured players Chris Wilcox and Luke Ridnour will change their fortunes. Wilcox - second on the team with 13.3 points - has missed the last four games with a dislocated pinky finger, while Ridnour has missed seven of the last eight games with a quadriceps injury.
Both are expected to play on Monday.
The Lakers beat Seattle 106-99 at home on Nov. 27, their third straight win against the Sonics, and Bryant has averaged 43.7 points in those three games.

They totally eliminated the renewal membership thing that they use to have.
I was lucky since I jumped in on the very last offer about two years ago. It was $400 for 3 years and $24/year afterwards. I told one of my friends to get it with me at the time. She wasn't willing to spend that much money at the moment (which is totally understandable) but now she's using the Costco deal. Which if fine..until the 2 years is up. We'll see what happens after that. But she totally regrets not jumping in on the contract offer 2 years ago.
I beg to differ. My 24hr location is fantastic. Has lots of equipment including over 20 treadmills and very nice clean amenities. The staff is super friendly and I love their Kids Club (which is like a mini Chuck E Cheeses.) The club does not have a pool, jacuzzi or cafe. No matter. I am there mainly to workout, shower and stretch. It fits my needs and I am happy. I used to belong to one of those fancy gyms with olympic size pool, social hours, bbqs, family gatherings, restaurant, etc. But I also paid almost $100/month just for myself. For what it's worth, 24hr Fitness does the job and in my location, a great one I might add.

I got both my kids these certificates almost 2 years ago (June). Can I buy another certificate and "renew" their membership?
I only need to do one as my one of my kids can now use gym at college. But the other one still has two years to go till then and uses 24 hour fitness all the time.
I did a Google and can't seem to find a definitive answer. Seems technically your not supposed to, but they let you??? With Costco's excellent return policy, if I buy a certificate and 24Hour fitness refused to honor, I'm assuming I can return it.
My membership is pre-paid 3 years old (in September) but has the $99 renewal in it. So I'm good. But daughter is already worried about her membership canceling.
For example, I live in the Dallas area and been to several in the area. My "home" club is Addison, which is ok (and better since they replaced the aging treadmills and TV's). I use the two out in Bedford all the time and they are not as good. But Irving, the Magic one on Central and couple out in Ft. Worth are nice. I've also been to couple in Colorado, St. Louis and California (there are a couple in Irvine including one in the Irvine mall that are very nice).
Wish they would open one in Jacksonville. I travel there regularly and no such luck.
This is for the folks who got the 3 year prepaid plan with the annual renewal. I was wondering if any of you signed up about 4 years ago. I got in on the prepaid deal over the 4th of July weekend in 2007. Like typical used carsalesman tatics, haggled and stuff, ended up with $1000/3 year and $29 renewal for SuperSport and $600/3year and $29 renewal regular for the wife.
Apparently sometime back, 24 changed the contract where only the 4th year is guarenteed at the renewal rate only. The contract I signed does confirm, only the 4th year is guarenteed. It was different before. I read on some sites that they still just let you renew continously and of course they have the right to stop letting you at anytime but has anybody with the newer contract renewed their 5th year yet. It should be about time that these 5th year renewals are coming up.
Again, they are no different than any other chain gym. Depends on the club, time of day, classes offered, etc.
I have a question: I am planning to buy this membership plan. What do i do in case i need to take time off from the gym and not go for a few months? do they put it on hold? If yes, till how long can they do it?
Is such a membership plan available for 1 year also..
I work out at the downtown seattle 24hr, and occasionally i see some hot girls.

Pandolfi is a sweet little shop offering 24 flavors of the Oprah-endorsed Palazzolo"s gelato tucked into the back side of the storefronts at 50th and France and it"s definitely worth navigating Edina"s back alleys. The mascarpone/caramel/pistachio blend is a good place to get started. For nostalgic types, the shop also sells gimmicks and games such as Snoopy Sno-Cone machines and a tabletop version of the arcade "claw" game.

'92 Dommie in Romania
Hi everybody!
I own a black '92 Dommie since Feb. this year.
Got it from Germany in a pristine state, with 30k km.
Now it has 40k km and it's running perfectly.
Changed the standard spark plug with an Iridium one - the engine starts instantly in the morning, below 10 deg C. It can idle at lower rpm.
Changed the stock 47 teeth sprocket with a 44 - the machine runs a lot nicer on road. I don't have to change gears so often in town. Haven't checked the max speed yet. I can still do wheelies in the first gear using only the throttle.
Installed Ferrodo sintered brake pads - they squeal like hell when braking, but work fine. Seem to wear out rapidly.
Got heated grips - they're magnificent in cold weather.
The bike eats oil only when kept running for long time at hingk rpm, or after 2500 km since the last oil change. I use semi synth.
Fuel consumption - 95 petrol: ~4l/100km at 100km/h with the standard sprocket, girl and bags in the back. When using 99 grade petrol, the fuel consumption raises by 1l/100km. The engine performance doesn't seem to improve. At higher speeds, the consumption raises badly (6-7). It took 9l/100km in town wiht the 99 gas.
All parts can be ordered at the local parts shops, but they're very expensive.
There are lots o'Dommies here, in Ro, either form Germany or from Italy, where they used to be very popular.

"I picked the Raspberry color and detailed everything in the card in the special instructions portion - bc i needed my invites to be in Spanish! And the turnaround was fantastic - the designer sent it back just as i had detailed and I was able to proofread and approve and the delivery was fast. Great quality - i used the square edges on this design and it just looks so nice and elegant the raspberry is a beautiful magenta / fuchsia tone which are the colors of my wedding. Really liked the way these invites turned out. Thanks!"
"Everything we ordered from Wedding Paper Divas was amazing! However, I was not impressed with the quality of glue on the envelopes. It would be handy for the glue to go all the way to the end of the envelopes for a secure seal."
"Simple, tasteful design that can be customized easily. I used the signature card stock and it turned out great. Feedback on the product from reviewer was quick and efficient; delivery was even a week earlier than expected!"
"I ordered these wedding invitations and they came out even better than I expected! They are so pretty! I couldn't be happier with them! Thanks WPD!"
"I absolutely love these! I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! I was able to personalized the font, wording, spacing and color to make them completely one of a kind. They are exactly what I had in mind!"

Another Evening Gone
November 19, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
If you never have, watch this 1964 episode of the BBC show Monitor, in which John Betjeman interviews Philip Larkin. It is twenty-four minutes well spent. There's the poetry: Larkin reads "Here" and "A Study of Reading Habits" and "Toads Revisited" and "Church Going" and "Wants." Betjeman inventories the wares of a Hull department store like a mystical incantation.
There's the deliberate portrait of Larkin's circumscribed existence: we see his flat, the cemeteries and streets where he walked, and of course, the library where he worked.
Betjeman was a great champion of The Whitsun Weddings, and his knowledge of and admiration for Larkin's work is clear. The portrait is certainly what both poets would have wished, carefully orchestrated from its location to its doleful closing quotation. And yet, there is the great, odd moment when Betjeman says, "I envy you, being a librarian. It must be marvelous to have something to fall back on."
He Killed the Hedgehog, and Other News
August 28, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Philip Larkin: Not always a tremendous admirer of people, but an ardent lover of animals. "His secretary Betty Mackereth remembers how, 'He just stood at the window of his office, looking out, and said: "I mowed the lawn last night; and I killed the hedgehog." And tears rolled down his face.' "
- James Meyer, who was for thirty years an assistant of Jasper Johns, has pled guilty to stealing at least twenty-two of Johns's works—an estimated $6.5 million value.
- We live in a world where not one but two new apps promise to re-create "the experience of a manual typewriter, but with the ease and speed of an iPad."
- Against Against: "In recent years, there has been an 'Against [X]' epidemic: against young-adult literature, against interpretation, against method, against theory, against epistemology, against happiness, against transparency, against ambience, against heterosexuality, against love, against exercise, et cetera. The form announces a polemic—probably a cranky one, and very likely an unfair one. But an essay with such a title has inoculated itself against the criticism of being too polemical or tendentious—after all, did you read the title? Caveat lector!"
- In Pittsburgh, a nonprofit called City of Asylum provides free housing and a stipend "for foreign-born scribes who endured imprisonment, or worse, in their home countries."
On Epitaphic Fictions: Robert Louis Stevenson, Philip Larkin
April 29, 2014 | by Daniel Bosch
The second in a three-part series on writers' epitaphs. Read yesterday's installment here.
There is very little that's puzzling about Philip Larkin's two-penny upright "This Be the Verse" (1971):
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can.
And don't have any kids yourself.
"This Be the Verse" is arguably the best-loved English poem of the last half of the twentieth century. Funny, frank, transgressive—human—the poem has stood up admirably in pub, alley, and classroom. (Of how many humans with fancy titles can this be said?) But what about that awkward title? How did a writer as good as Larkin fuck up his forms of to be?
The title's oddness is no empty gesture. The words "This Be the Verse" point us toward one of the sweetest, un-Larkin-esque poems in the language, Robert Louis Stevenson's self-composed epitaph. When it's published in an anthology, it usually appears as two stanzas called "Requiem," but on Stevenson's tomb, the epitaph is presented as a single block under his name and dates, without punctuation or title: Read More »
Philip Larkin's "The Trees"
April 10, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
It is spring now, and very hard not to feel in clichés. Especially with daffodils everywhere—and very cheap they are, too. "Telephone flowers," a friend of mine calls them. I buy them by the armful; don't you?
When I was thirteen, I wrote my first and last piece of fiction. It was about an old woman in a nursing home suffering from dementia and planning her garden through the winter. It was called "Living Time." Even by thirteen-year-old standards, it was mawkish and I knew it. Because—the silliness of that act of ventriloquism aside—what new is there to say about spring?

Dear Sally Draper, Maybe Wait a Few Years to Read This
May 3, 2012 | by Adam Wilson
You know what's weird? You could be my mother.
I mean, you're not, obviously. My mom's a ginger and Jewish, and her sixties childhood was really quite different from yours, what with her not having Don Draper as a dad or Betty as a mom, and her not seeing her step-grandmother go down on Roger Sterling in the back room at an American Cancer Society Benefit.
But what if things had gone differently? What if my mom had stayed with that painter who looked like Charles Manson and once punched my grandfather in the face, and my dad had met you instead among the bohemians inhabiting seventies Jerusalem, drinking wine on Old City balconies, discussing poetry and politics, and inhaling the sweetly mingling odors of bellflower and frying falafel?

August 10, 2009 marks five years since my late husband, Roosevelt Hunter, went home to be with the Lord. The pain that was left behind was too heavy for my heart to bear. Maybe you can understand that kind of internal agony. Jesus is near to the broken hearted. My heart, my life, and my hopes were shattered. I did not want to remain in that affliction but I didn't know how to fix things.
We are not like those without hope. Having hope means you have confidence that God won't allow you to drown in your despair. Don't accept that this is as good as it's going to get, and don't expect to remain in your brokenness forever. Jesus preaches in His hometown, Nazareth, and wants to make sure that there is an anticipation stirring in the hearts of people. He opens up the scroll from the book of Isaiah and says that He can fix it, "He heals the brokenhearted" (Isaiah 61:3, Luke 4:18). I invited God to fill my heart with hope, to touch my children, and to make the rest of my days enjoyable again. Hope revived my fragile heart and empowered me to keep looking forward.
Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

Flattering versatile top I purchased this top on both cream and black. It is very comfortable and flattering. The top can go from casual with a pair of jeans or shorts to more dressy with the right accessories. The mid section isn't overly loose as to create a maternity top look. This top will make you feel pretty even on those days you feel less then comfortable ;-) August 9, 2014
MUST HAVE ITEM!!! I recently just purchased this item and i love the quality and texture of this item. i have thrown in the washer and dryer and it still looks great. i love the fact that you can wear it with either jeans or shorts its very diverse in the fact that it matches everything. it can go from casual with a denim jacket or throwing a blazer over it and adding some accessories or even a scarf to add some layers, it has a small cleavage but it does come down which i loveeeee. you never have to worry about constantly pulling it up. August 6, 2014
Super flattering Very flattering and great fit, mostly true to size. July 26, 2014
So Cute! Very flattering top. Hids midriff imperfections and draws attention to the bust. As a 32DDD it was not too revealing. July 18, 2014
Super Flattering I just purchased this top and already am obsessed with it! I was hesitant when I first picked it up, but instantly knew I wanted to purchase after trying it on. This top is great-very flattering especially on my small bustline. I also appreciate how it flows and is lightweight, which is nice on a hot summer day. But it doesn't resemble a mu-mu or potato sack. My only regret is I did not purchase two! June 11, 2014

LeValley keystone of Bison program - Sports | Centre Daily Times
Readers of a certain age would remember an armed forces recruiting poster with Uncle Sam pointing and saying, "I want you!"
If Bucknell's wrestling program had such a poster, we'd likely see 149-pounder Kevin LeValley on it. LeValley is the shining light in the program that was resurrected from the Title IX ashes a half dozen years ago by alumnus Bill Graham, who kicked in several million to bring back wrestling and also elevate the women's crew team to varsity status. And the sparkling field hockey field at Bucknell is named after him.
LeValley, from a small high school in eastern Colorado, said he was attracted to Bucknell because he wanted to make an impact.
"It's a combination of the great recruiting of coach (Dan) Wirnsberger and coach (David) Hoffman. I wanted to make an impact on a new team," he said. "I've always got a great education there. It offers small class instruction that really suits my learning style really well. I really came to Bucknell thinking I would be able to accomplish my goals of being a national champion with the training partners and the coaching staff there."
LeValley is well on his way toward his goal. He was an All-American last season (seventh at 149) and has been ranked in the top 5 for most of this season. His wins included a National Wrestling Coaches Association all-star meet win over Torsten Gillespie of Edinboro. And LeValley became Bucknell's only Midlands champion when he won in Evanston over the holidays.
He is 18-0 for the season and has defeated six ranked wrestlers. He was a member of the U.S. University World Team which competed in Torino, Italy last summer. His 111 wins ties him with Bucknell assistant David Marble.
But LeValley knows his route to gold in Philadelphia won't be easy as North Carolina State's Darrion Caldwell, the 149-pound champion from 2009, has recently returned to action. The Bison is familiar with Caldwell.
"I trained with Caldwell a little bit out at the Olympic Training Center a couple of summers ago," LeValley said. "Other than that, I've never wrestled him in a competitive match. I like to take one opponent at a time and if I do come into a situation where I'll be wrestling Caldwell, I'll be prepared

Super Meat Boy
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
Top 30 Indie Titles:
"This sublime platformer provides tons of challenge, precise controls, and incredible level design that will keep you glued to the screen." - GameSpot.com
"Super Meat Boy is one of the best modern platformers. It's infuriating, exasperating, and arduous, but it's also delightful, thrilling, and hilarious." - IGN.com
Super Meat Boy is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux.
Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old needles. Sacrificing his own well being to save his damsel in distress. Super Meat Boy brings the old school difficulty of classic NES titles like Mega Man 2, Ghost and Goblins and Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Japanese one) and stream lines them down to the essential no BS straight forward twitch reflex platforming.
Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing SMB will drag Meat boy though haunted hospitals, salt factories and even hell itself. And if 300+ single player levels weren't enough SMB also throws in epic boss fights, a level editor and tons of unlock able secrets, warp zones and hidden characters.
Key Features:
Story mode, featuring over 300 levels spanning 5+ chapters
Play as a Head Crab! (Steam Exclusive)
33 legitimate Achievements
Warp zones that will warp you into other games

Brutal but funsycomantis1991 | May 16, 2015 | See all sycomantis1991's reviews »
At the time, hyper difficult platforms were actually uncommon, and this is thier Harbinger. It's intense fun, the levels are short, making it a great choice when you have 5 minutes to spare. There are hundreds of levels though, and many achievements and challenges, plus the bonus super hard versions of every level give this more replay value than almost any platform out there. Still well worth the price tag, though it's odd that it hasn't dropped much in cost.
The New Meat on the blockKingTed | March 11, 2015 | See all KingTed's reviews »
Super Meat Boy is some sort of hommage to retro video games like Super Mario Bros, Ghouls & Ghosts, Castlevania, Sonic. The story is pretty straightforward. You are Meat Boy and your girlfriend, Bandage Girl, was kidnapped by the evil Doctor Fetus. So... like some famous plumber, you're going on a platforming adventure to save her. Super Meat Boy has every mechanics you need to create a great platform game : dash, wall-jump, secret levels, dangerous traps, even the cliché damsel in distress. The game is really really really hard but it never gets frustrating thanks to how fast it load your save file. It's fun and addictive and there is a scoring system (Based on your time). Visually, Super Meat Boy won't impress anyone but the art style has its charm. And the music won't get out of your head after a few minutes of playing. It's a new classic among platform games. Everyone should try it at least once!

Just like I said, this is cute, ultraviolent retro-future platforming, featuring a skinless "Meat Boy," his bandage girlfriend, and some kind of evil fetus or something. Cool, bizarre stuff. Frustratingly difficult in parts, and I'm 100 percent sure that if I were to actually play the game to its end (I haven't, yet) I'd be pissed off constantly. As in, frustrated, because the game is, you know, not too easy.
Platform Challenge Torturejonathanrflores | Feb. 18, 2015 | See all jonathanrflores's reviews »
Super Meat Boy accomplishes its goals; it is a solid, simple platformer. The story is short: some bad guy kidnapped your girlfriend and now you have to jump through challenge after challenge (filled with fatal traps). The controls are sharp. In general, I don't have any problems with the controls. However, if you're buying this game for the PC, a controller is highly recommended. You could play with the keyboard if you practice enough, but a controller really helps. The difficulty of this game is pretty high, I would say. Many of the jumps require very solid accuracy. You will have to leap between two saw blades with a gap just wide enough for your character to fit. Deaths are frequent and numerous. If you are easily frustrated, this game is not for you. Then again, dying in this game is actually manageable because of the instant respawn time. While other games would have you wait for the game to load after a death, Super Meat Boy reloads the level instantly so that you're never waiting around. Game-play doesn't stop - you're trying again instantly. There's also a replay feature at the end of the level so that you can watch all your deaths (and it's quite enjoyable). If you're looking for something deeper, with a story or complex gameplay, then you'll have to look elsewhere. As a tough, bare-bones platformer, this game is a success; I recommend it as such.

Super Meat Boy is one of the most challenging games you will ever play hands down, but it is also one of the most enjoyable games you will ever play. Super Meat Boy has you play as Meat Boy as you run and jump through numerous levels, each one harder than the last with new areas offering new challenges and obstacles. And you will die. A lot. The game even makes fun of this in a boss fight. But you will also learn how to avoid what killed you, or at least you should if you wish to beat the game. There is no story in Super Meat Boy. There are no power-ups. There is only the challenge, and beyond that, victory and the knowledge that you have beaten one of the hardest games in the world. Yes, even harder than Dark Souls.
