And from the look of it, the group of boys she was with could care less. I also hate how teens will take 20 bloody pictures of themselves.

Stress Reduction-Audio-Full
1,000 - 5,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Mindware Consulting, Inc
The Full version downloads the full audio files to your device rather than streaming them from a remote server each time you run the app, and does not contain ads.
As a clinical psychologist and hobby Android developer, I wanted to combine the two skills to write an app that may be of benefit to many. The world is a stressful place, and one component of coping with that stress is learning how to more fully relax. I have included three relaxation strategies that I frequently use with my psychotherapy clients.
Two relaxation techniques are included along with a peaceful and relaxing background music.
1. Relax and Breathe - Walks you through relaxing all the muscles in your body combined with a deep breathing exercise. (8 minutes)
2. Relax and Visualize - This technique is a mildly self-hypnotic procedure that includes relaxing your muscles, mind, and visualizing a peaceful scene. This is often a favorite. (15 minutes)
3. Contrast Technique - This technique has you tense your muscles first and then relax them. Some people find this technique works when some of the others don't. (15 minutes)
I include three techniques, because some people find they can more effectively utilize one technique over the other. Also, having one with a shorter play time helps when you need to relax, but are under time pressure.
If you have any problems with this app, don't hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Enjoy, and I hope this brings you a little peace in a hectic world.
Note: These techniques are not intended to treat any emotional or physical condition. Rather, this app is intended for people who want to learn one of many techniques for coping with the stress of everyday living. If recommended by a psychotherapist, it may be used as a part of a larger treatment program.

I used the free version for wks & recently bought the full version so I could change & control length of play. I'd definitely give a higher rating if the timer hadn't quit working. I set it for 1 hr, wake 5 or 6 hrs later & it's still going. The only sound I personally find calming is the ocean waves, but it is a great track.

Good stuff.

Really helps me to fall asleep naturally, would really recommend it. Sometimes doesn't work if my wifi signal isn't good but that's not a fault of the app.
(16 stars)
(16 stars)
I suffer from stress-related hypertension and have anger-management issues, both helped by weekly psychotherapy; but these techniques are EXACTLY the types of methods that my therapist has been talking about. This is the best app I've found to use to help me between sessions, and will work for me in the future.

The glowing hum of the television set calms momentarily, starting abruptly seconds later, this time heralding a tune as familiar as the Ed Sullivan Show's opening jingle must have been in its heyday.
The Simpsons' familiar opening vignette focuses on Springfield, as hundreds of dedicated fans on campus settle into place.
In Springfield, life is different: It is blanketed with a fine shade of Crimson.
For one, the snooty businessmen and sociopathic killers are all Yale graduates.
Now into their second generation, Harvard alumni have occupied the majority of positions on The Simpsons writing staff since the show's inception as a short-running segment on the Tracy Ullman Show.
The writers, all graduates from the College during the mid-1980s, have included ever-increasing references to Harvard--whether obvious or obscure--during the last three seasons.
In one early episode, Homer discovers he has a rich half-brother, Herb Powell (voiced by Danny DeVito), the president of automobile manufacturer Powell Motors.
During a meeting Herb turns to his staff and asks "Why did I ever hire you Harvard deadheads?"
"Because you went there, sir," an employee responds.
"Yeah, but my mommy and daddy didn't pay my way," said DeVito. "I worked my way through washing your dishes and scrubbing your toilets."
"Oh, yeah, now I remember you."
And this season there have been several humorous references to Harvard--one obvious, one subtle, and some nearly subliminal.
Homer forms a bowling team but is forced to throw Otto, the burn-out bus driver, off the team in favor of Mr. Burns--who funded the team.
Otto occupies himself with an arcade-style game in which the player attempts to grab stuffed animals and trinkets from a bin using a large mechanical hook.
"Whoah, I can't believe I got booted off the team for Mr. Businessman," Otto grumbles as he turns to play the game. "I'll bet I get a little respect once I get that Harvard diploma." And there, among the stuffed toys, is a rolled-up Harvard diploma tied in a red ribbon.
But not all the Harvard-related jokes have been one-liners.
An on-going character, Mr. Burns, the snooty nuclear plant owner, has been recently exposed as a Yale man, as has Sideshow Bob, Bart's sociopathic nemesis.
More subtly, in a reference that perhaps was not caught by the non-Harvard world, the Springfield Town historian who was introduced this season, was named "Hollis Hurlbut."
And in a truly inside joke that would not be caught by anyone without a VCR and an acquaintance with the Lampoon, Principal Skinner receives an airline ticket in an envelope addressed to "Springfield Elementary School, 18 Plympton Street" and when Bart and Lisa discover that Homer's long-lost mother has a collection of phony drivers' licenses, one lists her address as 44 Bow Street.
"The show has a lot of freeze-frame jokes...where you have to have a VCR," says William L. Oakley '88, the show's executive producer. "There's lot's of things that go by too quick for you to see them."
Both 18 Plympton Street and 44 Bow Street are addresses for the Lampoon Castle.
The Writers
From the inception of the show seven years ago, The Simpsons had a core of writers that graduated from Harvard and were editors at the Lampoon, a semi-secret Bow St. social organization that occasionally publishes a so-called humor magazine.
Michael L. Reiss '81 and his writing partner from Leverett House, Alfred E. Jean III '81, were two of the show's four executive producers through the first four seasons.
Another Leveritte, Jeff S. Martin '82, Jonathan M. Vitti '81 and Conan O'Brien '85 also wrote for the show in its early years.
In the last three seasons, however, a younger generation of 'poonsters has taken over the reigns of the show.
For the last two seasons, the Simpsons has been run by Oakley and his childhood friend and writing partner Josh Weinstein, a Stanford graduate who is an honorary member of the Harvard Lampoon because of the summers he spent with Oakley in Cambridge working on the Lampoon's occasional parodies of better known publications.
Oakley joined long-time writers George A. Meyer '78, Jonathan K. Collier '83 and Kenneth C. Keeler '83 on the show.
"We've been running the show for the seventh and eighth season--the seventh season has just about finished airing but the eighth season is in production now," says Oakley.
Although Reiss, Jean, Vitti, Martin and Gregory M. Daniels '85 have all moved on to other writing assignments, and O'Brien has his own late-night talk show, Richard J. Appel '85, who is a Crimson editor, Daniel J. Greaney '86, Daniel A. McGrath '86-'87, Steven R. Tompkins '87-'88 and David S. Cohen '88 have all joined the show, bringing the Harvard contingent to eight of the show's 12 regular writers.
"The interesting thing is that it all shifted," Oakley says. "It was originally a large group of guys who were all friends in the early 1980s who were running the show, and now it's a group of people from the late 1980s."
"It's basically the entire staff of the USA Today parody," Oakley says, referring to a 1986 Lampoon publication.
Despite the common College background of the Harvard writers, their postgraduation career paths took them in very different directions before meeting again in Hollywood.
"We have all professions on our writing staff except writers," says Cohen, who worked as a physicist for the Harvard Robotics Laboratory before coming to The Simpsons.
But Cohen is not the only "rocket-scientist" on staff.
According to Cohen, Keeler received an applied mathematics doctorate from Harvard and worked for Bell Labs in New Jersey.
"It has got to be the only show on television with two different writers who have both published articles in Discrete Applied Mathematics," said Cohen.
Unlike Cohen and Keeler, Greany and Appel have degrees from Harvard Law.
Greany gave up a career in corporate law in New York City to join the show last year and Appel was a federal prosecutor in Manhattan.
Itchy and Scratchy
In an episode from the fourth season of the show, the Simpson's writers had a little fun at their own expense.
Bart and Lisa submit a script to their favorite TV program, the "Itchy & Scratchy Show" which is a brutally violent parody of the "Tom & Jerry" cartoons.
Roger Myers, the President of "Itchy & Scratchy International" likes the script by Bart and Lisa so much he fires his staff of regular writers from Harvard.
One of the writers protests, "But sir, at Harvard they taught us.."
"Oh at Harvard they taught you?" Myers interjects. "Hit the streets, egghead. You should have majored in not getting fired!"
The producer then further taunts the cartoon writer, who according to the current writers is a dead ringer for Vitti who was then a writer on the show.
"Hey egghead, sing 'fair Harvard' for me."
When the cartoon writer begins to sing his boss throws a crumpled paper into his mouth muffling him.
"You sir, have the boorish manners of a Yalie," says the indignant writer.
"Here's a witty rejoinda for ya'" retorts the boss, hitting him in the head with a heavy-looking desktop nameplate.
The hapless writer comes back later in search of his Harvard mug and gets smacked in the head with his bosses' nameplate yet again.
The boss hires Bart and Lisa's grandfather under the mistaken impression he is a writer, he tells the assembled staff.
"I want you to see what a good writer looks like. He's got something you couldn't get at your fancy school: life experience."
A writer responds, "Actually, you know I wrote my thesis on life experience," and starts to expound on it before being told to shut up.
Next Season
Cohen says that next season, The Simpsons' eighth, will likely revive the plot line that involves the Itchy and Scratchy writers, bringing back the Harvard graduates.
"I'm writing an episode right now that revolves around the Itchy and Scratchy show," says Cohen, who adds that the episode will likely include Oakley as a character. "It uses the writers several times... but it's the kind of a thing, once I hand the script in [that can change]."
Oakley says that his staff is working on a show in which Burns attends the Harvard-Yale game and complains that Harvard wins all the time.
"There's a really good line," Oakley says. "Burns says something like 'ah, let Harvard have its football and academics. Yale will always be first in gentlemanly club life.'"
Working Together
Working roughly 12 hours each day, for 51 weeks per year, the writers of the show say their job is tough--but they can't complain.
"Since it takes 10 months from when the script is written to animate the show, we are in production 51 weeks per year," says Oakley.
"According to people who are in a position to know, this is the most difficult show to work on and run in all of television," he says.
During those long hours, the writers spend the vast majority of their time working as a group to revise and improve drafts of scripts that have been submitted.
"It is pretty bizarre that you graduate and then years later find yourself sitting in a room with the same people," says Cohen.
"The idea that television writing is a viable profession and that's what people are in college to learn was taking off right when I was graduating," Cohen says. "No one thought of [the Lampoon] as the golden road to Hollywood employment or anything."

How Fast Can the US Border Wall Be Scaled?
Each mile of border fence costs US taxpayers about $4 million to build and will cost another $6.5 billion over the next 20 years to repair and maintain. Are we getting our money's worth? Is the border fence an effective deterrent? To find out, two young women—both only about 5'5"—were asked if they could climb the wall.

Romania, Hungary to Sign Pact Ending Decades of Animosity: Treaty Could Ease Entry into NATO, European Union
Barber, Ben, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Romania and Hungary will end more than a century of hostility Monday by signing a treaty to protect minorities and recognize each other's borders.
The treaty, to be signed in Timisoara, Romania, will clear one of the obstacles blocking admission of the two former Soviet bloc nations into the European Union and NATO, said Romanian Ambassador Mircea Dan Geoana.
"The previous Hungarian government, before 1994, put priority on supporting the ethnic Hungarians in Romania and less on joint integration in Europe and with neighboring countries," Mr. Geoana said in an interview yesterday.
He recalled that former Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Boross, whose conservative coalition was defeated in 1994 by Socialist Gyula Horn, had called himself the leader of 15 million Hungarians - the 10 million in Hungary and 5 million expatriates.
Fear of ethnic conflict in Central Europe has been one of the biggest obstacles to membership in NATO and the EU for both Romania and Hungary.
While the Czechs and Slovaks separated peacefully in the "Velvet Divorce" in 1992, ethnic separation in Yugoslavia led to war in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.
"The new government in Hungary is totally changed," Mr. Geoana said. "It still tries to be supportive of the ethnic groups in neighboring countries but puts emphasis on developing good, friendly relations with its neighbors."
Hungary alarmed several of its neighbors in July when, along with Hungarian representatives from surrounding countries, it signed a declaration that appeared to call for "self-government and autonomy" for those minorities. …

High Court Rejects Challenge to Border Fence
By Dave Montgomery
WASHINGTON – The Bush administration's controversial fence along the Southwest border escaped a potentially devastating legal roadblock Monday as the Supreme Court rejected a constitutional challenge by environmental groups and more than a dozen members of Congress.
Without comment, the justices refused to consider pleas that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had overstepped his constitutional authority by waiving laws and regulations in order to expedite construction of 670 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Chertoff, invoking authority granted by the REAL ID Act of 2005, has waived more than 30 laws in the administration's goal to complete the fencing by Dec. 31. Chertoff has told Congress that "it would be impossible" to meet the deadline without invoking the waivers.
The case in question before the high court focused on a 2-mile section of fencing in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area near Naco, Ariz. A broader challenge to Chertoff's waiver authority has been filed in a federal court in El Paso, Texas, but fence opponents acknowledged that the Supreme Court decision was a stunning setback in their efforts to block construction.
"It does send a surprising and disturbing message that the broadest waiver in American history, unprecedented in its scope, is not worthy of the court's consideration," said Brian Segee, staff attorney for the Defenders of Wildlife. "The only thing that can stop the construction of this very destructive border wall is Congress."
Laura Keehner, the press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said the administration "is obviously pleased" with the court's refusal to consider the case.
"The American people expect this department to enforce the rule of law at the border," she said. "Our efforts to do so sometimes result in lawsuits like this one, which the court rejected."
If the court had agreed to review the challenge, it wouldn't have heard arguments until its next term, which begins in October. Although the fence faces other lawsuits and objections from property owners in Texas, DHS officials have said repeatedly that they're on track to complete the fence before the Bush administration comes to an end in mid-January.
The Defenders of Wildlife and The Sierra Club filed their petition March 17, contending that the waivers granted under the REAL ID give "unbounded authority" to the executive branch and violate the Constitution's separation of powers provision.
Fourteen members of Congress, including eight committee chairmen, supported the petition in a friend-of-the-court brief, challenging Chertoff's waiver authority to "skirt numerous federal laws" in pressing ahead with fence construction. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D- Miss., the chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, charged that the waivers are a "direct challenge to Congress' constitutional role."
Thompson said he was "extremely disappointed" with the court's decision.
"This waiver will only prolong the department from addressing the real issue: their lack of a comprehensive border-security plan. Without a comprehensive plan, this fence is just another quick fix," he said.
Chertoff waived 19 laws for construction of fencing in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area. A more extensive blanket waiver suspends compliance with up to 36 laws and covers 470 miles in all four states along the border. The waived laws include the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the National Historic Preservation Act and the Eagle Protection Act.
Chertoff told Congress that the DHS would be unable to meet its goal "if we were to engage in each of the individual regulatory elements" that the statutes required. But he said that his agency was sensitive to the concerns of border communities and could complete the fence "without materially sacrificing" environmental and historical protections.

Mandy Moore and scandal have never really been used in the same sentence before--until now.
The National Enquirer had discovered a deep family secret about the Moore's, and Mandy is not thrilled about it!
Apparently her mother Stacy Moore left Mandy's father for another woman, professional tennis player Claudette Laliberte. The two women have secretly been dating since 2006 and even reportedly set up a home together.
Mandy's mother got caught after Laliberte's lover discovered emails between the two women.
When questioned about the affair, Stacy Moore told the Enquirer, "It's nobody's business why we're together."
There's a lesson to be learned people, if you don't want to get caught, erase your damn emails!

Fire over your questions to me at
email@example.com. I might not be able to answer them
all, but I promise they're all read. Any e-mails sent to this
address may be published or edited unless requested otherwise.
(Please put ASK CFN in the subject line, and PLEASE keep the
questions short ... it makes my life easier.)
Why is there so much
negativity surrounding Tim Tebow winning the Heisman. It's the fans
foolishness on top of the voters hard hearts that have caused the
credibility of the award to be tarnished. I have never seen this much
controversy over a guy winning the Heisman because he has run for 20
touchdowns and thrown for 20+ touchdowns. Even here in Gainesville there
is negativity, that is ridiculous, I tell them where would be with any
other quarterback, Dennis Dixon, Chase Daniel could and maybe Pat White
could put up the same numbers. Ask Chris Leak if he appreciates a
championship defense, because without one I think Gator fans would under
appreciate him more than they do now. What is going on?
– Kevin
A: I'm not sure. I said this throughout last year that America isn't all
that interested in Florida, and Gator fans vociferously disagreed with
me. It's only been one of college football's premier programs for almost
two decades, but for whatever reason, from my experiences and
discussions, I've never felt like Florida gets the same attention or
love like a USC, LSU, Oklahoma or Texas. Last year's team never captured
the imagination until it obliterated Ohio State, and by then it was too
late; the sports world had moved on. Rex Grossman didn't get the Heisman
when he was the best player in 2001, and it seems like many are
searching for anyone to step up and take it away from Tebow. As
I've said for a few weeks, if Tebow was a senior, or if the Gators were
in the running for the SEC East, this would be a landslide. He's having
an all-timer of a season, and it's not like he's doing it in the MAC. To
me the race is over. Unless Chase Daniel or Todd Reesing do something
special over their final two games, Tebow has my vote.
I assume the
UL-Monroe victory over Bama is the biggest win in Sun Belt
history. What's hallmark win for the other smaller
conferences?? - Wes
A: The UL Monroe win over Alabama was certainly a shocker, but
no one saw it and no one was paying attention. Troy's 24-14 win
over Missouri in 2004 might have been bigger only because it was
a Thursday night national TV game. I'm assuming you're talking
about the non-BCS leagues when you're referring to the "smaller"
conferences. I don't know if the Mountain West exactly qualifies
as one, but …
Mountain West – Utah 35-7 over Pitt in the 2005 Fiesta
Bowl. Pitt was a buster of a BCS team that year, but it was
still a victory that made Urban Meyer's Utes 12-0. TCU's 17-10
win over Oklahoma in 2005 was close.
Conference USA – Louisville's 26-20 win over Florida
State in 2002. Obviously the Cardinals are now in the Big East,
but it was a watershed win for Conference USA at the time. It
also marked the unofficial beginning of all the talk of one of
the bigger leagues raiding C-USA for its top teams.
MAC – Toledo's 24-6 win over Penn State in 2000. This was
in Beaver Stadium in the 2000 opener and it wasn't just a win;
it was a domination.
WAC – Boise State's 2007 Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma.
What is wrong with Steve Slaton? Is it the Oline? Are
defenses keying on him? Lost a step? – Josh
A: He seems to be missing that hiccup quick step that makes
takes seemingly little runs and turning them into back-breakers,
but he's fine. The offensive line has been terrific, yes,
defenses are keying on him and taking their chances with Pat
White, but the biggest issue is the number of carries. He only
has run 17 times or more twice in the last six games, and those
two were 100 yard games. The other four weren't. How good is
Slaton? The dude runs for 988 yards and 15 touchdowns and many
are asking what's wrong.
What has happened to Cal? They were great until the bye week
hit and since then they stink. Nobody in the country can tell
me they were overrated because for the first 5 weeks they played
great and had big wins against Oregon and Tennessee. I haven't
seen that team since the Oregon game. What has happened and who
is to blame? – Chris
A: According to some Cal fans, I'm to blame for disrespecting
the Bears and not believing in them from the start. The
defensive line is getting shoved around way, way too often, but
having a D that gives up yards isn't anything new around
Berkeley. Where are the offensive stars? Justin Forsett has
certainly been strong running the ball, but DeSean Jackson
hasn't set the world on fire. QB Nate Longshore has been merely
average. How can a team with so many offensive weapons struggle
so much to put points on the board? It's not the offensive line;
it's playing as well as any in America. Basically, the passing
game isn't consistently clicking and the defense isn't getting
enough production up front.
Is it fair to say that a Big Ten team will never win the
National Title until the Big Ten conference adjusts to the new
BCS system and starts playing games into December? – MW
A: No. I know you're implying that the desperately long layoff,
over 50 days, nearly two months, between the end of the regular
season and the national title game is way too long and allows
Big Ten teams to get fat and lazy, like last year's Ohio State
team, but there's a flip-side to that. That extra time allows a
coaching staff that much more time to prepare. I know, no one
should need much more time than a few weeks, but it allows the
coaches to do that much more in-depth work on their own team
before finding out who they'd play. Second, it allows injuries
to heal. Short of the guys knocked out for the year, everyone is
going to be 100% healthy. Of course, there's always the question
of football-shape. If a Big Ten team gets blasted again in a
national title game, especially one as good as last year's
Buckeyes, then some changes might be made.
With the way this year has played out with all the upsets and
parity, do you ever envision a time in which we are debating
which two lose
team should get into the BCS Championship game? – TS
A: I was thinking about that when it comes to Georgia. Arizona
State already lost to USC, now let's say Tennessee loses to
Kentucky, West Virginia loses to either Connecticut or Pitt, and
the Big 12 North winner loses to Oklahoma. Georgia is then in
the SEC title game, and if it beats Georgia Tech this week and
then knocks off the number one team in America, then it might
move up from that seven spot into the top two to face Ohio State
for the national title. You'd get a contingent screaming about
Hawaii, if it's unbeaten, about deserving a shot, but it would
be a tough fight.
Let's take this a step further in the philosophical discussion.
Say West Virginia doesn't lose the rest of the way, but the Big
12 North winner loses the title game and Georgia shocks LSU with
a double-digit win. At that point, the Bulldogs could claim they
beat up the number one team in America on a big stage with
everything at stake. There would be a huge segment of voters
who'd argue the Dawgs would deserve to go ahead of either Ohio
State or West Virginia.
To your original question, the one way a two-loss team would
truly be in the hunt, without a ton of help, would be if it lost
its first two games of the year with its top two players out.
For example, say Oklahoma is ranked No. 3 to start next year,
loses Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray for both of those games
after offseason injuries, and then the two stars come back and
the Sooners obliterate everyone by 30 the rest of the way. It
would still be a tough sell, but it would make for an
interesting debate.
The one question I have never been able to answer about
college football is how some teams who don't (or can't) recruit
well at all routinely exceed expectations. Recent case in point
is Boise State, which hasn't finished in the top 50 ever. But
there are others too like Utah under Urban Meyer, Southern Miss,
Fresno State, Wake Forest, Kentucky. Of course, the obvious
answer is that they have great coaches. But, without good
players, good coaches don't win. I think it has all to do with
being able to see qualities in players the elites ignore like
size, speed, determination and heart. But what do they see, and
how do they see it? – EK
A: Because college football recruiting is a ridiculously
overrated waste of time. Check that; covering college football
recruiting is a ridiculously overrated waste of time. The
non-superpower programs might not get the four and five-star
players, but they get guys who fit their systems and they
recruit a certain type of under-the-radar talents who might have
chips on their shoulders. How many top recruits actually pan out
and become superstars? Many top programs spend so much time and
energy courting the stars that they're screwed if things don't
work out.
You have to remember what an inexact science this is. A
superstar recruit who's getting courted at 16 and 17 by Oklahoma
might develop different physically than a mid-range recruit who
goes to Boise State. You're right in that some of the unheralded
guys might tend to come to campus ready to eat glass and run
through a brick wall, and if you get enough of those guys, you
can put together a top team. And then there are teams like
Kansas and Missouri who get the guys that the really, really big
boys aren't showing much interest in, and then sprinkle in a few
other guys who blossom late. To answer your question, yeah,
Boise State might be fantastic in a one game shot, but with the
talent it gets it'd be no better than fourth on a yearly basis
in the SEC, Big 12, Big Ten or Pac 10. Of those teams you
listed, how many have had sustained success against the big
Pete the Oddsmaker...Rank'em 1 thru
5, (longest odds being No. 1).
A) Saban finishes his
career at Alabama;
B) Tedford finishes his
career at Cal;
C) Miles finishes his
career at LSU;
D) Weis finishes his
career at Notre Dame;
E) Notre Dame finishes
Weis' career.
A: 1) (least likely to happen) Weis finishes his career at Notre Dame,
2) Miles finishes his career at LSU, 3) Tedford finishes his career at
Cal, 4) Saban finishes his career at Alabama, 5) (most likely to
happen) Notre Dame finishes Weis' career.
Should players like Darren McFadden & Brian Brohm who are
likely top 10 NFL draft picks risk their payday to play in meaningless
Bowl games for underachieving teams? And if not, then what's the point
of playing in those Bowl games after disappointing seasons for teams
like Arkansas & Louisville? Is it for all the luster & prestige of the
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl?
A: It depends. If you're in a national title hunt, you play no matter
what. If you're in a conference title hunt, you play. If your team is an
also-ran, and you've been told by the NFL advisory committee that you're
a first round draft pick, you should sit. I'll never, ever understand
why a sure-thing top ten draft pick on a mediocre college team would
play one more down than he'd have to. If you're a certain to 50 pick,
you always leave early. Ask Michael Bush. You don't wash your pants with
a winning lottery ticket in the back pocket.
Most college fans can't seem to grasp the business side of the equation,
and my NFL prospect-quitting-team belief is one of the two topics (along
with my rant that college players should have be able to have agents and
be allowed to be given money and gifts from boosters) that generates the
most negative reader feedback. There's SO much money at stake, not to
mention NFL career potential, that it's big business for the top 50
draft prospects, and fun for everyone else.
If you're a quarterback you can probably suffer a big injury and not be
too affected. After all, most teams are going to want to take at least a
half a year before getting its star quarterback rolling anyway. If
you're a running back, or a player who can't afford to go from a 4.4 to
a 4.6 40, you get out now. I said this last year when it came to Adrian
Peterson, and I'll say the same thing now for Darren McFadden. What
happens if McFadden blows out his knee? Are the Arkansas fans going to
hold a bake sale to repay the tens of millions of dollars he'd lose? Oh
sure, he could heal up, come back for his senior year and come out for
the draft in 2009, but he'd lose an entire year of NFL salary along with
the interest and investment dollars from his bonus. Ask Matt Leinart how
much money he gave away to play at USC for one more year. I'm a college
fan and want all these guys to come back, but again, this is a
multi-million dollar business here.
Of course, if McFadden were to come out before the LSU game to say he's
quitting the team to focus on the NFL draft, he'd be destroyed by the
media and the fans, and there might be one or two teams questioning his
character. And then Jerry Jones would trade the naming rights to his new
stadium and a date with Tony Romo for the No. 1 pick to take the former
Hog star and give him a $20 million signing bonus.

I agree with LSEd. I tasted the Domaine Remoriquet 2009s in Sept. 2009 and again in bottle in Sept. 2010, finding beautiful fruit, depth and complexity in an expressive, forward mode that suggests enjoyment while one waits on the 2005s.
Interesting notes. May I inquire if the panel reviewed the wines of Robert Chevillon who has I think 8 1er Ccru wines from NSG and to my mind is one of the most consistent makers from the commune. His Cailles, Vaucrains and Les st George are top cuvees. Regards
as long as you overlook Remoriquet, you're missing out on some tremendous NSG.

Imagine that! That would be insane but probably a lot of fun. You'd definately have to be good and very lucky to win something like that. Make them huge with like 30 players or something. Just an idea.
Imagine that! That would be insane but probably a lot of fun. You'd definately have to be good and very lucky to win something like that. Make them huge with like 30 players or something. Just an idea.
Just like in some old wrestling games (dunno how the game is called, but it was for N64 and i got it somewhere, i guess ), I don't think it would hold my attention when I'm number 27 in line, maybe if you make the amount of people to 15 or so, it could hold my attention
Or do you mean a huge battlefield with all 30 players in one map?? That would be an exhausting and fun job to do :lol:
One map. 30 people. Everyone starts at the same time.
That would be so cool.
Good thinking, Cain
I like the idea of a huge bloodbath and me as only survivor, don't you guys??
Maybe if contributing the most damage to the death of another player would provude you with some sort of buff.
Yes but i have to admit i would like it even more if I was the only survivor :flip:Originally Posted by Damocles17
That sounds like an awesome idea.. back when I used to play this game called Jedi Outcast (I still play it in fact) the big 16 person FFA (free for all) games were hella fun.. because everyones trying to kill the most people at once.. and it's chaotic.. it would be even cooler in GW with 30 people on a huge map.. Would kind of suck if you were a Monk/Mesmer though.. useless in a FFA.
There's a good Pvp idea that I like a lot! That would be just so much fun. Having huge maps wouldn't be a good idea IMO, when there are a few people left they shouldn't have to search for the enemy. Unless they can magicaly teleport you to the nearest enemy with the press of a button or a trigger, it could work. Otherwise I vote for small maps. The winner should be given a belt. And each month, put the belt on the line. (Hmmm WWE pay-per-views hehe) :lol:
That would be interesting - I'd say the tournament area Tombs of Drascir already provided this to a degree. I know it was team vs team, but I'm not really so sure I want to go 1v1v1v1v1 .. etc. At that rate, it's fun to a degree, but a little to hectic and ... random for me. I liked the 8v8v8v8 tournament games I played in during E3.
Unfortunaly this idea will make some class-combinations quite obsolete, and remove the team player spirit that seems to be important for GW.
I mean who will bring a Necromancer/Mesmer, Monk/Necromancer or something similar to this PvP thing? Those characters are great additions to a team, but it's almost impossible to win with them 1v1, perhaps except for the Mesmer vs. a pure Elementalist (no other skills).
Already in the alpha, I'm seeing less and less mesmers in the PvM areas, I wouldn't want this to stretch to the PvP areas as well.

I'm not ready for strong winds yet. Thats for sure. I dont want a dangerous sail. Safety first. Its 5,800 miles to Athens and 4,400 to the big island. Well only have 5 days plus 2 weekends. 9 days in all. We are both getting our dive certs in February so we will dive regardless where we end up. We have the free miles racked up for the trip. My wife is going to find out today if they can be used over seas or juse in the US? First time to either place for us. We want to sail some there. So we can put a pin marker in our wall map of places that we have sailed.
Thanks for the insight

Both Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal and manager Tana Umaga are set to make big changes following Jake White's brief stint with the club.
White only stayed with Toulon for six days instead of the proposed two weeks, but Boudjellal has lauded his contribution. Toulon recently beat Montpellier 30-9 in the European Challenge Cup and perhaps this could be a turning point for the struggling French club.
"I have the feeling that he [Umaga] took on board the observations of Jake White," said Boudjellal. "I find that Umaga is much more involved in recent days, he has really taken charge of the group."
White has also suggested changes to the club's infrastructure and pointed out that the player base of 50 is far too high for the top tier. The board will take this into consideration but it may take some time to implement.
"He also suggested among other things that to retain our place among the elite there should be changes in the organisation of the training sessions," said Boudjellal. "That will not be so easy to put in place."

The Minnesota State Arts Board, under the direction of the Legislature, is conducting the census to better gage the needs for future grants and the use of Legacy Amendment art funds.
The early results showed 8,135 solo artists, 652 groups and 1,687 people who indicated being both solo and group artists, according to the Arts Board. The count runs until May 31.
The art count paints a broad brush on the definition of an artist. It is not limited to those who are professionally. Anyone involved in creative expression — including those in garage bands, sing in church choirs or people who paint for their own enjoyment — are included as well.
"[We're] charged with providing art access to all Minnesotans," said Brian Strub, communications director for the Arts Board. "All Minnesotans are part of the legislature appropriations. … This is a state asset."
Strub said the Arts Board was working diligently with groups throughout the state to spread the word about the census.
People interested in participating can complete the census form online or call a toll-free number to request a paper copy. In addition to English, it is available in Somali, Spanish, Hmong, Lao and Vietnamese.
Once the count is done, Strub hopes the department will have a better understanding of the art community in Minnesota.
"We hope it will show a broad appreciation for the arts and arts funding around the state," he said.
To complete the arts survey, go to the board's Art Count page online at mnartscount.com or call their toll-free number: 1-800-748-3222.

I was a total n00b when studying C++ in college, having only dabbled with BASIC, Pascal, C and ARM assembly before. But C++ surely felt way over the top.
I don't even spend my precious bandwidth on camera recorded movies... But if some MPAA lawyer want's make his job look more important, then kudos for him...
OP's mom?
instead of time in prison, he should be forced to watch the shitty movie continuously for 33 months
...in his own crappy cam-rip format.
"Danks was originally told police weren't going to take any action against him, but he unwisely continued to share the movie files after his initial detainment with authorities."
In other words, the cop had decided to let him go with a warning for speeding, and then, while the cop was walking back to his car, he peeled out and gunned the engine, accelerating as hard as he could.
And ran a few red lights as well.
And stole policeman's helmet.

Instead of doing your job, your actions will be tailored to suit the device. You will spend most of your energy and brainpower to look to the algorithm, instead of actually doing your work. We have seen this from ultra-competitive workplaces, e.g. Microsoft, where middle-managers and "top" employees were more concerning of how they were doing on their performance reviews, often sabotaging their coworkers work, than actually working.
Regulation is impending on my rights to make money!
Well, regulation is preventing me seeing Game of Thrones as soon as it is released, so boo-hoo...
I think that the average smartphone is actually much more elegant solution than glasses+watch+cpu (phone). You put it away in your pocket when you are not using it, and just like any previous wearable computer predictions, you only use it to consume data, not much to create it.
And all information is synced around in 'the cloud' already.

Ricky Rubio reportedly has interest in Celtics
|01.23.11 at 7:39 pm ET
Ricky Rubio was drafted by the Timberwolves in 2009, but the Spanish guard has yet to sign a contract and come to the NBA. Rubio faces an interesting choice this summer. If he signs before June 30, his contract would be on the current rookie scale. If he waits and stays in Europe for another season he could negotiate a deal that isn't bound by the rookie scale.
Complicating the matter further is the pending lockout, which could go into effect on June 30 once the current collective bargaining agreement ends and would muddle his options further.
But Rubio has never shown an interest in playing for Minnesota, and in a piece in The New York Times, one of his representatives is quoted as saying that Rubio would rather play for an East Coast team, citing New York, Miami and Boston as his preferred destinations.
The takeaway from Rubio's interest isn't that he wants to come to Boston so much as it appears that he doesn't want to go to Minnesota. It's not really his choice right now because Rubio doesn't have a lot of leverage. The Timberwolves own his rights, regardless of how long it takes for him to sign a contract. Even if he did want to play for the Celtics, they are already set at point guard with Rajon Rondo, who is in the first year of a five-year, $65 million contract.
While it is interesting that he has Boston on his list, the specter of a work stoppage and a new collective bargaining agreement makes any future plans impossible to predict. That's one of the reasons the Celtics went all-in for this season. Their future is an open question as the only players signed beyond next season are Rondo and Paul Pierce. (Rookies Avery Bradley, Semih Erden and Luke Harangody also are more or less bound to the team.)

Loren: Tree-cutting cause of Mindanao power crisis
DAVAO CITY—Reelectionist Senator Loren Legarda has called for the creation of a body that would oversee the proper management of Lake Lanao amid the power crisis Mindanao is currently suffering from.
Legarda, chair of the Senate climate change committee, said the need for a clear framework in managing Lake Lanao and its watershed resources becomes more imperative and urgent with the continued brownouts being experienced in Mindanao.
Legarda blamed the worsening deforestation of watersheds, including those in Lake Lanao, and the siltation of river systems as among the reasons for the power crisis.
She said the continued deterioration of Lake Lanao has affected the supply of water from the lake for six of Mindanao's existing hydroelectric power plants, including Agus, which are collectively responsible for 70 percent of the island's energy needs.
The National Power Corp. earlier said it has been regulating the flow of water in the hydroelectric power plants to ensure enough supply in the coming elections.
Legarda has filed Senate Bill No. 3097, a bill establishing an effective policy and regulatory administration over Lake Lanao through the proposed Lake Lanao Development Authority.
The proposed body would ensure the promotion and development of Lake Lanao in a sustainable manner, she said.
"The Lake Lanao Development Authority shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to issue Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECCs) … and grant permits for any projects or activities in or affecting the Lake Lanao Area," she said. Nico Alconaba, Inquirer Mindanao
