NICE! Wonder how Strikeforce is gonna feel about M-1 stealing one of the few good matches they could have put on…If this goes bad for Gegard, there goes any hype they coul've thrown at that match up. The end starts NOW. (sad)
M-1 needs some star power for its ill fated M-1 "Breakthrough" event on August 28, so the promotion has decided to put on an if exhibition match instead. Fedor Emelianenko will take on Gegard Mousasi in a exhibition sparing fight.
The whole event was recently moved from LA to the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, just three weeks before the show.
Headlining the event will be King Mo vs Mark Kerr, Mo was to take on Don Frye, but Frye refused the fight after the change of venue was announced.
Here's a bit from the M-1 press release,
"We were blown away by just how popular Fedor's exhibition vs. Aoki in Japan was …. Fedor and Gegard have sparred many times together and the sessions have always been intense. Now fight fans watching on television and those attending live in Kansas City will get a rare glimpse at two of the best fighters in the world sparring each other."
M-1 exec Joost Raimond on the change of venue, "The change in venues is unfortunate, however, the change was necessitated due to circumstances beyond our control," said M-1 Global Chief Operating Officer Joost Raimond. "We had a partner in Los Angeles that backed out of certain commitments. However, instead of letting fighters and fans down by cancelling the event, we worked diligently to find a new location in Kansas City. At no point in time did we entertain the idea of canceling our first 'Breakthrough' event."
NICE! Wonder how Strikeforce is gonna feel about M-1 stealing one of the few good matches they could have put on…If this goes bad for Gegard, there goes any hype they coul've thrown at that match up. The end starts NOW. (sad)
this should be kinda tight…moe needs a real fight..
kerr? dam frye sounds like a contender compared to this.i like mo but its time to step it up a bit and not take worse comp as you go.
exhibition grappling, wtf? do they really expect to suceed?
m-1 sucks.
really? your going to not sign with the ufc where you could fight brock lesnar for the title right away to have a fucking sparring match with a LHW, some people just don't get it, and when it comes to this guy apparently im one of them.
I agree but the only reason i can think of is that with strikeforce they can co-promote events and build there M-1 logo….honestly though this means Fedor drops out of top competition and in essence ruins his credibility of being the best fighter ever since he will not fight top level competition. I hope Rogers or someone KO's him in strikeforce. For the Fans and MMA world Fedor fucked us all but from a business standpoint i understand but really Fedor you have to think out the long run and what your doing to your credibility and legacy.
Yeah I agree Tim. King Mo is not a headliner, not by a long shot. I think the only cool head in this odd outfit is Don Frye, who probably senses the sinking ship.

The Stourbridge-born star's form was closely monitored by Albion's coaches who are convinced he can make the step up into the Premier League.
"Sam's got a bright future," assistant boss Keith Downing told the Sunday Mercury. "We have always felt we needed to give him time. His physique is getting better and he is a late developer.
"We have shown patience and Sam is a very focused young boy who really does work hard every day.
"I'm very optimistic that Sam will have a very good career and working with top-class players can only help."

'My heart stopped; Pacquiao loss unbelievable'
More News from Nancy Carvajal
MANILA, Philippines — "My heart stopped."
This was how Manny Dagala, a condominium security guard in Mandaluyong City, described his shock upon seeing Manny Pacquiao being knocked out by Mexican Manuel Marquez and then staying flat and unconscious in the sixth round of their fight in Las Vegas, US.
Dagala was among the 15 people who watched the fight live on a 25-inch laptop at the lobby of a condominium building.
"I thought he was dead and I could feel my heart skipped," Dagala told the small crowd who could not believe their hero had fallen.
Rey Fernan San Isidro, 24, an accountant, was equally stunned by the end of the much touted fourth fight between the two boxing rivals.
"Was that real? I'm disappointed. He should have concentrated on being a boxer, a boxer should be a boxer," San Isidro said of Pacquiao, who has branched to politics and has won a seat as congressman of Sarangani.

|Patent application number
|System for On-Line Spalling of a Coker - Coker heater operation is improved by on-line spalling of coker heater pipes. In one embodiment an off-line pipe is added to the on-line coker heater pipes. When an on-line pipe is to be spalled, flow is diverted to the offline pipe allowing for full operation of the coker heater. In another embodiment, a thermal transfer resistant zone plate is movably mounted in the radiant section of the coker heater. By moving the zone plate from an operating position to a spalling position and adjusting the temperature of the plurality of burners, the temperature of the pipes in the zone of the heater radiant section to be spalled can be lowered, while the temperature in the remaining zones of the heater radiant section are fully operational.

BRAC traffic ... not that bad?
Monday - 5/23/2011, 7:44pm EDT
All the traffic news surrounding Base Realignment and Closure isn't bad. Many facilities are getting upgraded roads that should move commuters through more efficiently.
One example - not all of the 21,000 people expected to relocate to Fort Belvoir by September will flood to the base itself, says Col. John Strycula, the base garrison commander. They will be spread across four sites owned by the base and some may not go to a base at all.
Our sister station WTOP reports the roads around Fort Belvoir are also getting a facelift to make it easier for traffic to get in and out. Col. Strycula says that work wouldn't have happened without BRAC.

Amanda Bynes Owes Her Lawyer a LOT of Money
I mean, what did he think would happen when Amanda Bynes' lawyer signed on to represent the actress?
Apparently Artemio Santiago, the lawyer who the troubled star hired last October, is looking to be reimbursed for the thousands of dollars he shelled out for the actress.
According to Perezhilton, the attorney filed documents claiming he helped 28-year-old while she was off of her meds four months ago, getting her back on track and healthy, being her personal assistant and generally being a friend (you know, lawyer stuff).
BUT- you may remember an incident during this time, in which Amanda was supposed to go to court, but stopped by a diner for lunch on the way there? She was reportedly with Santiago. So maybe he's just being a super sketchy glommer-on?
The lawyer is saying he wants roughly $16k for his services and troubles, but the She's the Man actress' parents and conservators have a simple retort: Amanda wasn't in the right state of mind to even hire a lawyer, and that he should have known that!
That's probably true, Santiago.
What do you think- should Artemio Santiago be paid for "services rendered?" Or is he just kind of a sketchball (I think you know where I stand on the issue) ?

Great product!
I was very happy with product quality and speed of delivery! We have ordered picture magnets before and these were a great deal for the quality!
Loved the magnet , the only thing is I was shorted 3 envelopes with really put a damper on mailing them because it is a hard envelope size to find.
Nice work on magnets, slow delivery
Magnets look great, neat idea to Send out to family and friends. But slow production time and delivery... Make sure you give yourself plenty of time if it's for an event.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals 'bought right in' to offseason strength and conditioning program
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The first game, one that counts, is still nearly five months away, yet the flurry of activity inside the Arizona Cardinals' facility is of a team in mid-season form.
There is one group of players working out in the weight room under the watchful eye of new strength and conditioning coach Buddy Morris, while another group heads outside to the practice field for instruction from assistants Roger Kingdom and Pete Alosi.
Welcome to Phase One of the NFL's voluntary offseason workout program.
"If you don't have it in the offseason, you're not going to have it in training camp; you're not going to have it in the season. This right now is just as important as showing up for the first game of the season," defensive end Darnell Dockett said. "This is where you win your championship at."
For Dockett and his teammates, the work began three days ago, the first day Morris and his staff was allowed to be hands-on with the players.
"It's our job to help them achieve the highest level of physical preparation using methods and means -- when I say means that's an exercise -- that yield the highest possible results at the lowest cost. Low risk, high reward is a win-win every time," said Morris, named in early March to replace the fired John Lott.
Morris, who had just been hired at the University of Buffalo when the Cardinals called, said he is still learning about the players and spending most of his time teaching them about proper technique.
"I'd rather see things done light and right instead of heavy and horrible," he said Thursday.
Players work out in groups though each individual workout is different.
Morris said he's less concerned about building up a player's strength and instead is focused on improving their movements, getting them to be more efficient so they expend less energy which will enable them to work for a prolonged period of time. In other words, be just as effective in the fourth quarter as they were in the first quarter of games.
The addition of Kingdom, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and world champion in the 110-meter hurdles, is unique. The Cardinals have never had a speed coach.
"Yes, you can take an average person and make that person faster," he said. "How much faster all depends on where they stand in their genetic makeup."
It's all about improved mechanics, according to Kingdom, who is expected to have his greatest impact on the skilled position players.
"He's a guy that can help me with my running," receiver Michael Floyd said. "I'm going to take everything in and just learn from him because he's been there and done it."
Dockett hadn't always been a big proponent of the offseason program, choosing instead to work out on his own in Florida. That line of thinking has since changed.
"I realized that over the years you have to bond with your guys in the offseason. It's very important. We've got a few guys that aren't here that I'm texting them every day; and I don't care what they say to me, I'm going to literally just blow their text messages up like, �We need you here. We need you here; we're trying to do something important here. The schedule came out, we need you here. OK, you're not going to be here the first week we expect you to be here Monday,'" he said.
"I'm loving this. We've got a lot of guys here that are enthusiastic to work. We're a long way from where we want to go as far as conditioning and strength and things like that, but the best thing about it is we're here every day. We're going to grind every day. We're not going to take no days off. And we're going to give the fans what they're paying for."
Though early in the program, and keeping in mind it's voluntary, Morris has been more than pleased with the players' attendance and commitment.
"They have bought right in," he said. "They didn't hire me or Roger (or) Pete to facilitate a program. They hired us to coach athletes and that's what we're going to do."

Altruistic. Worldly. Determined. Fearless. Delusional even some would say, leaving behind the comfort of a guaranteed paycheck. Twentysomethings in Mumbai today are proving that having a successful track record with years of experience does not always have to rhyme with entrepreneurial grand slams. Yes, it is true, some of the world's most successful companies that hold strong ground today were established by founders between the ages of 20 and 26, be it Apple, Google, Microsoft or facebook. Research suggests that adults in their twenties have a deep-seeded curiosity about the world and a propensity for passion that makes them indomitable in the face of risk and fear. And it seems that hordes of Mumbaikars are now tapping into just that virtual crevasse, proving to us that in the world, as it stands today, youth is nothing but an advantage. Stepping away from having to trudge along that same old path of entrepreneurship, a handful of Mumbai-based entrepreneurs chosen below are now rising like phoenixes, out of the ashes, busting the complacent truism of risk-averse (read: 'old school' style of entrepreneurship.) Leave aside the regret of not having tried—they say, as generation Y-ers attest for the zeitgeist of 2014. Their backgrounds are divergent, their solutions are simple and their style, innovative-meets-digital. With enough energy to burn the midnight candle, no need to hedge, four young entrepreneurs and their untainted mindsets have been hand-picked for their forward-looking ventures.
Pooja Dhingra
Age : 27 yrs.
The hospitality industry in Mumbai is one that has, over the years, resisted tumultuous real estate prices and rumours about market potential. With culinary havens opening shop in every nook and corner of the city, the focus on diet-breakers, also known as desserts however, has been on an exponential rise.
Living and loving macarons
Those delectable French desserts are now imbued with more meaning than just sugar and unwanted calories for Pooja Dhingra, owner and founder of Paris-inspired patisserie, Le 15. A far cry from some of the honky-tonk Indian palates have been used to for so long, the dainty Parisian dessert is one that Dhingra has capitalised on and even made a fortune out of. Giving up her law studies and pursuing hospitality management in Switzerland is how she began her lucrative affair with desserts and macarons. Having started with an initial capital of 10 lakh, broken even in 10 months and grown 250 per cent in four years with three outlets in the city, Dhingra also prides herself on her cooking studio—Studio Fifteen—in Lower Parel and a newly-published gastronomical opus, The Big Book of Treats. She now aims at launching more outlets in the city and in the country.
Raghu Kumar
Age : 29 yrs.
With the world's largest elections just having taken place in India, the country's long-term growth and solid economic growth potential have been splashed in headlines. And yet, the need to capitalise on the emerging economy that is India today, is one that a handful are hell-bent on exploiting.
Go for broke(r)
Raghu's love for brokerage has led him to spearhead a Mumbai-based company—RKSV—with a turnover of around Rs3000 crore on the National Stock Exchange, representing two per cent of the total market turnover. RKSV is a discount broking house where customers are charged a flat monthly fee allowing them to trade as much as they want. The finance aficionado that is Raghu Kumar handles 60 employees and manages RKSV's algorithms at the proprietary trading desk.
Shreya Naik
Age : 25 yrs.
Saying that marketing and public relations do not play a leading role in shaping a business today would be a lie. A number of youngsters have begun to understand the importance of staying visible in an age where access to information is just a click away.
Making dreams
Shreya Naik is the CEO of Dream Makers Entertainment, a company focused on scouting new indie talent, managing artistes and promoting them at gigs around the city. She now singlehandedly manages live programming at blueFROG in Lower Parel. Starting out at the age of 20 with a background in promotion and marketing and not a nickel to spend, Naik's next logical step was to use social networking websites to spread the word on her marketing skills. Her goal is to delve deeper into the world of untapped and unnoticed talent in the city.
Advitiya Sharma and Rahul Yadav
Age: 24 yrs.
Amidst the growing tribe of young entrepreneurs in the city, lie a few that understand just how much investors, venture capitalists and investment banks are on the prowl for start-ups that are innovative and promising. The mix of start-up founders is eclectic: from e-commerce to technology to transportation, now is in fact bloom time for start-ups in Mumbai.
Your house hunt, their profit
Advitiya Sharma and Rahul Yadav are the Mumbai-based bespectacled men behind housing.com, a user-friendly real estate portal meant to facilitate the lives of renters, brokers and landlords by providing detailed classifieds for users without exorbitant broker fees. From featuring safety, women-friendliness indices in place, Sharma and Yadav joined forces to make house hunting hassle-free in Mumbai. Housing now has over 750 employees in 10 different cities in India and has managed to garner three rounds of funding, making the company one of the hottest start-ups to look out for right now.

This Carrot cake recipe has been adjusted and modified after many readings and searching that I did to reach the best Carrot cake. It tastes so yummy with or without the Galze and Frosting ( If you wanna cut down on the calories, but for me, I prefer it with all :-) ). Enjoy.
Stir together first 7 ingredients.
Use one 10-inch cake pan; lightly greased and lined with parchment paper. Set pan aside.
Beat eggs and next 5 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add flour mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Fold in carrot and next 3 ingredients. Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
Bake at 240C° for 7 minutes, reducing temprature gradually till you reach 180C°. Continue baking for another 30-35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean.
Drizzle Buttermilk Glaze evenly over cake; cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on wire rack.
Spread Cream Cheese Frosting on top and sides of cake. spinkle some coconut flakes.
You can decorate the cake as you wish.
You can add 1/2 cup Raisins in the last step with the carrots,pineapple and the coconut If you like so.I didn't.
Baking time varies upon your oven tempature.But it won't be done before half an hour.
» Metric Converter
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are the best wines to pair with Best Carrot Cake.

'Ex-Gay' Activist Yvette Cantu Schneider Comes Out In Support Of LGBT Rights
Yvette Cantu Schneider, one of the most vocal and best known representatives of the ex-gay movement, has announced that no longer wishes to identify with anti-gay groups, reports GLAAD.
Schneider is known for her high-profile start at hate group the Family Research Council and her work with California's Proposition 8 campaign. She is still one of the key people who anti-gay voices cite in order to prove that "change" works. The American Family Association continues to sell a video, It's Not Gay, in which Yvette appears as a talking head. Her "personal testimony" still appears on Ex-gaytruth.com.
However, Schneider has said that she is sorry for the pain she has caused to LGBTI people, is questioning of the idea of "ex-gay" itself and is now fully supportive of LGBT people and their families.
In her recently published book Never Not Broken: A Journey of Unbridled Transformation, Schneider "struggles to heal from difficult events from her childhood, the abuses and hypocrisies of religious leaders, and the effects of her own denial of the feminine divine" and ultimately "discovers her true self."
Writing for GLAAD yesterday, Schneider explained how, following the stress brought on by her five-year-old daughter's diagnosis with leukemia, she sought the help of psychologist Dr. Diana Wright who taught her mindfulness meditation and guided imagery meditation.
She goes on to explain:
"I had neglected the feminine and the feminine divine when I embraced patriarchal dogma that regarded women as secondary to men...It was only when I embraced this true self that I regained my life. It meant shedding many of the beliefs I had espoused for decades—beliefs about what it means to be gay, and what it means to treat people with dignity and respect.
"This change has cost me friendships and the respect of certain people. But that's okay. I don't expect everyone to understand my journey. One thing is for sure: Never again will I deny my authentic self in order to gain the approval and acceptance of others. It isn't worth it."
A Q&A with Schneider will be published by GLAAD today.
Schneider's defection is another recent blow for the ex-gay movement after Pennsylvania pastor Duane Youngblood was arrested last week on suspicion of sexually assaulting a teenager.
Yes! This is pretty amazing. People are so deep into the judgement they forget about the humanity, sounds like she finally woke up. I'm glad "Dr Diana" could really help her- Praise goddess !

It sounds like she was too much in love with buzzwords and phrases to really do any self-examination.

I get that we are supposed to welcome these grotesque creatures into the fold, but it is very hard to do when they have inflicted such pain.
I hate using the Hitler analogy, as it is such a cliche, but let's face it, a repentant Hitler would not be welcome at the temple.
I'm glad this scuzbag got her head back on straight - so to speak - but she has a LONG way to go to get anything from me other than a snide remark.

" I had neglected the feminine and the feminine divine when I embraced patriarchal dogma that regarded women as secondary to men...It was only when I embraced this true self that I regained my life....."
Me, me, me; I, I, I; my suffering, my pain, blah, blah, blah.
I guess I could reread this and think about it, if I gave a $h!t.
But she has put herself beyond decent society, she is an outcast; better for her now to STFU and crawl back somewhere.
Yeah, I've nothing good to say about these traitors.

I LOATHE GLAAD with all my might.
I hope this women suffers the most painful life thereafter.
And no, I'm not religious, so F*CK forgiveness.
Have you seen that these pieces of sh*t have all come out once it has become unpopular to be so homophobic and they have lost $$? And have you seen that they have never actually physically done ANY retribution for all the deaths, unhappiness and destruction they have caused??
A few PR words and bang. We forgive them! The LGBT community make me sick sometimes. Thank god for the sane comments on this post about this sociopath.
Posted by: Rowan | Jul 29, 2014 4:43:28 PM
There is an unacceptable apology, and this is an example. She begs forgiveness after years of harm done on fellow humans with one setence, I am sorry. I haven't forgiven Catholic Churchrs which burned Galileo on stake because he is right .

Nikko Landeros and U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey teammate Tyler Carron began their careers in Paralympic sport together after being injured in the same accident. The two were close friends and teammates on the Berthoud High School wrestling team. As high school juniors on the way home from a school dance, Landeros and Carron were changing a tire when they were struck by a vehicle and pinned between two SUVs. As a result of the accident, both Landeros and Carron became bilateral amputees. Landeros, who had played hockey for much of his life, encouraged Carron to try sled hockey, and the two were soon teammates once again. With Carron, Landeros played on the Colorado Avalanche sled team from 2008-13, helping the Avalanche capture both the inaugural 2010 USA Hockey Sled Classic presented by the NHL and the 2011 USA Hockey Tier II National Championship. Landeros made his first U.S. National Sled Hockey Team in 2009; Carron, who began on the developmental squad, joined Landeros on the national team one season later. In addition to wrestling and hockey, Landeros' previous athletic pursuits also included playing nose guard on the Berthoud High football team.

ATLANTA - Courthouse gunman Brian Nichols avoided a death penalty when a Fulton County jury failed to return a unanimous sentence, but local prosecutors are encouraging their federal counterparts to bring additional charges in hopes that Nichols could still face lethal injection.
Federal prosecutors would face higher legal standards to pursue death charges against Nichols based on the fact that one of his four victims was a federal agent. And the U.S. Attorney must first begin the lengthy process of getting approval from the Justice Department.

(AP) - An explosion in underground electrical cables blew off manhole covers and started several fires in downtown Savannah Monday morning, prompting police to evacuate several stores and restaurants, many of which were without power. No injuries were immediately reported, police said.

ATLANTA - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will reduce its circulation area to 27 counties around metro Atlanta and cut 156 jobs in its third cost-cutting move since early 2007.
The newspaper said Wednesday that effective Jan. 11 it will eliminate distribution in 22 counties: Banks, Butts, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Greene, Habersham, Haralson, Heard, Jackson, Lumpkin, Morgan, Pickens, Rabun, Spalding, Towns, Troup, Union, and White in Georgia, and Cherokee, Clay and Macon in North Carolina.

JACKSON, Miss. -- Fickle December weather prepared to deliver the second blow of a one-two punch to much of the deep South on Wednesday, threatening to blanket some areas with snow after a night of unseasonably warm temperatures produced torrential rains and tornadoes across the region.

ATLANTA -- The U.S. Senate race may have grabbed much of the headlines, but voters also quietly decided heated contests to fill open seats on the Court of Appeals and the Public Service Commission.

ATLANTA -- Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss jumped out to an early lead Tuesday over Democrat Jim Martin in Georgia's U.S. Senate runoff that attracted light voter turnout despite the contest's high stakes on the balance of power in Washington.
With 16 percent of precincts reporting, Chambliss had 65 percent of the vote to Martin's 35 percent. The early returns came mostly from rural counties where Republicans traditionally wield significant sway in a still-overwhelmingly red state. None of the urban Democratic strongholds had yet reported results an hour after the polls closed.

Monaco has a new little royal.
Charlotte Casiraghi has given birth to her own little prince, named Raphael, says the palace in the principality.
Casiraghi, 27, and her boyfriend, actor-comedian Gad Elmaleh, 42, released a statement that Raphael was born in Monaco Tuesday. Sources tell PEOPLE the birth was around 9 p.m.
In a surprise "tickle," as one source put it, the palace communiquéé added that "grandmothers are doing well."

Stand-up comic and film actor Gad Elmaleh is not only considered the funniest person in France, but he's also dating Monaco's Charlotte Casiraghi, the stunning royal granddaughter of the late Princess Grace Kelly. And Casiraghi is expecting their first child together later this year.
Virtually unknown in the U.S., Elmaleh, 42, was actually in Woody Allen's Oscar-winning Midnight in Paris, as the misguided Détective Tisserant.
Starting Friday, American audiences will have the opportunity to see him again, this time in his starring role in the financial thriller Capital, opposite Gabriel Byrne and directed by Oscar-winning French director Costa-Gavras.
Here are five things to know about the Moroccan-born celebrity, who recently sat down with PEOPLE.

When Monaco royal Andrea Casiraghi married heiress Tatiana Santo Domingo on Saturday, their wedding was unlike any other royal nuptials – the boho bride wore a simple garland of flowers in her tousled hair, instead of a crown.
New York-born Santo Domingo, 29, who has a 5-month-old son, Sacha, with the second-in-line to the throne, wore a full-length Missoni gown with three-quarter-length sleeves and opted for flat silver sandals instead of heels for the late-morning ceremony in the grounds of the Prince's Palace, Hello! magazine reports.

The good news doesn't end there: Charlotte, 27, and Morocco-born Elmaleh, 42, are also engaged and plan to wed this fall in a private ceremony.

"The wedding will occur on Aug. 31," a spokesperson for Monaco's Pink Palace tells PEOPLE. "It will be a private ceremony."
The couple, who have dated for seven years and have a son, Sacha, born last March, were schoolmates together at Paris's Lycée Fontainebleau.

How does Princess Caroline of Monaco's husband thank her for testifying in court on his behalf? By taking his younger girlfriend on another very public holiday.
According to German press reports, Prince Ernst August of Hanover, whom Caroline defended last week in an appeal on an old assault charge, enjoyed this past weekend at the moneyed Austrian ski resort of Kitzbühel with his girlfriend – now regularly identified by news outlets as Moroccan publicity-event manager Myriam I., 41.
On Sunday, the couple ate schnitzels with potatoes and tomato salad at Rosi's Sonnbergstubn restaurant. Owner Rosi Schipflinger told Munich's Abendzeitung: "They enjoyed their meal very much and definitely want to come back."

Spray Active™ Launches a New Line of Spray Vitamins
Introducing Spray Active, the latest revolution in vitamins
(PRWEB) June 13, 2013
Spray Active is thrilled to announce the launch of http://www.sprayactive.com and its line of five new spray vitamins. The Spray Active line of oral sprays is designed to deliver the right dose of nutrients every time—just spray twice under the tongue and swallow. The 5 sprays are:
*Defense: Vitamin C, Zinc and Echinacea for immune support
*Vitality: Vitamin D3 for building strong bones and enhancing muscle strength
*Sleep: Melatonin, L-Theanine and L-Tryptophan for a better night´s sleep
*Control: 5-HTP and Chromium for helping to reduce cravings and suppress the appetite
*Energy: B-Multi and Ginseng for boosting energy levels and promoting mental alertness
According to the Physician´s Desk Reference for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements, oral absorption is much more efficient than other forms of dietary supplement delivery. In fact, intra-oral sprays like Spray Active are nine times more readily absorbed than a pill. With Spray Active, the body benefits instantly. Spray Active is dose-controlled and absorption of the nutrients begins as soon as it´s sprayed under the tongue. This gives the body its initial dose. Then, when swallowed, the remaining nutrients are easily digested in the stomach. The liquid form is free from most binders and inert ingredients that pills and capsules typically need to retain their shape, so with Spray Active the stomach doesn´t have to digest as much to provide the body with the nutrients it needs.
Spray vitamins are great for anyone who dislikes taking large pills or capsules. The quick spray mechanism is simple for everyone to use. And, for those who have issues digesting pills, Spray Active is easy for the body to absorb and digest. Spray Active sprays were developed by a PhD using the latest science, and they are made to the same high standards as pharmaceuticals, complying with the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) established by the FDA.
Spray Active sprays are the perfect option for anyone who is health conscious—two of our sprays are even great for kids (who will love the flavors). They are small (carry them anywhere), sugar-free, and natural (no caffeine or stimulants).
Spray Active products are available for purchase on http://www.sprayactive.com and range from $14.95 to $16.95. In addition to the five individual sprays, Spray Active also has five packages that are bundled to be cost-effective.
Get Healthy. Get Going. Get Spray Active.

On the new site there'll be no Quests (or trivia or achievements for that matter), so I thought it'd be cool if everyone took a snapshot/print screen of their quests page (with the number of quests completed, rarest quest, rarest set, etc.) and save it so by the time the new site rolls around we can look back and remember the Quests feature, which I thought was a cool way to browse through wiki entries. Quests will be missed!
Avoid posting it here and wait until Quests actually gets phased out!

Michael Delaney, 48, was found lying in Drumbathie Road, Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, at around 12.25am yesterday.
He was taken to Monklands Hospital in the town but died a short time later.
Mr Delany, of Airdrie, had been returning from a night out with friends.
Police said the driver of the car involved may not have been aware of any collision and appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
Sergeant David Stenhouse said: "We are still trying to trace the vehicle and driver involved. I would re-appeal to anyone who was in the area and heard or saw something that could assist this investigation to come forward.
"Michael, who was returning home from a night out with friends, was a family man and devoted to his partner and two young children, a six-year-old daughter and four-year-old son. His family are devastated by his death and are being supported by family and friends."

Mort is a Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett and also the name of its main character. Published in 1987, it is the fourth Discworld novel and the first to focus on the Death of the Discworld, who only appeared as a side character in the previous novels.
In a 2003 BBC contest called the Big Read, Mort was among the Top 100 and chosen as the most popular of Pratchett's novels.
At the job fair, Mort at first has no luck attracting the interest of an employer. Then, just before the stroke of midnight, a man concealed in a black cloak arrives on a white horse. He says he is looking for a young man to assist him in his work and selects Mort for the job. The man turns out to be Death, and Mort is given an apprenticeship in ushering souls into the next world (though his father thinks he's been apprenticed to an undertaker).
When it is a princess' time to die (according to a preconceived reality), Mort, instead of ushering her soul, saves her from death, dramatically altering a part of the Discworld's reality. However, the princess, for whom Mort has a developing infatuation, does not have long to live, and he must try save her, once again, from a seemingly unstoppable death.
As Mort begins to do most of Death's "Duty", he loses some of his former character traits, and essentially starts to become more like Death himself. Death, in turn, yearns to relish what being human is truly like and travels to Ankh-Morpork to indulge in new experiences and attempt to feel real human emotion. Conclusively, Mort must duel Death for Mort's freedom. Though Death wins the duel, he spares Mort's life and sends him back to the Disc.
Mort is also the French word for "death," and comes from the Latin word, "mortuus", meaning "dead". The two words serve as the root of several English words and phrases, for example mortal and post mortem.
Susan Sto Helit, who is the daughter of Mort and Ysabell (daughter of Death by adoption), stars in Soul Music, Hogfather and Thief of Time. It is also revealed that, through the use of time-travel, she was present to witness Mort and Death's duel.
On December 15 2007 a German language stage musical adaption premiered in Hamburg, Germany.
A brand new English musical adaptation of Mort was presented in Guildford, Surrey, UK in August 2008 by Youth Music Theatre: UK. The adaptation is by Jenifer Toksvig, sister of broadcaster and novelist Sandi Toksvig, and composer Dominic Haslam.

About five years ago, former New York City roommates Carin Rosenberg Levine and Julia Lichtman Kepniss had a vision of creating a bridal store that would be trendy and friendly. They already had the dress sense (each searched long and hard for her own wedding gown) and store-owner smarts (Carin went to Yale business school, Julia to Georgetown law), so—after two years of meeting with designers and stores around the country—they opened Hitched in Georgetown in December 2005.
These days, brides and grooms are planning the ceremony and reception that they want (less rules and more fun!) The most important thing is to create an event that is personal and special to the couple. Whether that is an intimate event or big bash with everyone they know, the key to memorable event is crafting the event that will make the bride and groom happiest.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Lace can be a pricey component of a veil. The same cathedral-length veil that is $300 without lace, would be $750-$1200, with lace depending on the type of lace used and the quantity. Certainly, the cost will depend on the quality of the lace as well. A beautiful French alencon or chantilly lace veil, with significant length can definitely begin to add up. Our lace cathedral-length veils range between $750-$1200. We'd love to have you in for an appointment if you'd like more information about specific veil options.
Every designer has their own array of whites, ivories, etc. One designer's ivory can look like another's white. It's always best to choose a gown based on its design and style, and then look at the color options. Almost all gowns can be ordered in multiple colors. At Hitched, ivory and soft white are very popular with our brides.

Device Debut Official 'You Think You Know' Video
Device, the industrial fueled project led by Disturbed frontman David Draiman, unveiled a new video for their latest single 'You Think You Know' on Revolver today (Aug. 19). Check it out above.
Device, the industrial fueled project led by Disturbed frontman David Draiman, unveiled a new video for their latest single 'You Think You Know' on Revolver today (Aug. 19). Check it out above.
At this weekend's Rock on the Range festival, Device's David Draiman brought up a special guest to sing 'Close My Eyes Forever.' He was joined by Maria Brink of In This Moment to sing the duet from Device's self-titled debut album (watch video above).
The circle of life is something that's definitely on the mind of Disturbed and Device frontman David Draiman these days. The vocalist experienced the highs and lows that come with both life events within the span of the past week.
Halestorm rocked their Grammy-winning song 'Love Bites (So Do I)' and 'I Miss the Misery' at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods on May 2, but really raised things to a fevered pitch by introducing Device's David Draiman. While many might have expected Lzzy Hale and Drai
One of the more intriguing tracks on Device's upcoming debut album is the cover of 'Close My Eyes Forever,' in which frontman David Draiman shares vocal duties with Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale. Now, the song has been unleashed for everyone to hear. Check it out below, as well as some insight Draiman gave Loudwire into recording the duet with Hale.
On Sunday night (Feb. 10) at the 2013 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, the big winners in the rock categories were the Black Keys and Halestorm.
As a woman in the entertainment industry, there is always the question of how much to play up the sex appeal, and Halestorm's Lzzy Hale shared with Playboy.com her thoughts on taking part in sexy photo shoots and the focus on image in the music industry.
Halestorm got in a little late night action Tuesday (Jan. 29), performing on ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and sharing two of their favorite tracks for the studio audience. 'Love Bites (So Do I)' aired on the national television broadcast, while the band also performed their current single, 'Freak Like Me,' as a Web-only bonus. Both performances can be seen below.

Recent Manchester Reviews
Perfect VT retreat
My wife and I (and our Boxer Finn) had a wonderful stay at this classic cabin in VT. The cabin itself was perfect including a nice location just outside of town enough to be remote but close enough to make it convenient for stops into town for shopping, meals, etc. Great communication from the owner Patti and the cabin was clean and all amenities as described. We look forward to coming back soon and hope to stay here again.
Great vacation home!
This is a beautiful vacation home. Very clean, very relaxing, great environment. Away from everything, but close to everything. Very convenient for people with disabilities and great for pets. Everything is on one floor and has all the amenities that one can expect in their own home. The house is in Manchester Center, but it is back away from all of the hustle and bustle. But, it is very close to shopping and all of the stores. Very clean and well maintained. The location is great! Close enough to visit all of the key places in Vermont where most people want to visit. Good location for people who like the outdoors and want to visit the ski resorts or just tour the state parks for recreation. The owners are very conscientious about the house and the environment. Very helpful about the local activities and are moments away in the event that you need assistance. However, they show you the house upon arriving and meet you when leaving, but do not disturb you during your vacation stay, no matter how long. But, if you need help, they are only a phone call away. Great people. The listing is very accurate regarding the location, layout, and all the amenities. Manchester is a great location to stay for a vacation. Close to everything, but far enough away to enjoy the peace of a relaxing vacation. It is close enough to the northern tier of southern Vermont, as well as central Vermont to visit whatever you want to see in Vermont in one week or more. Close to Arlington, Bennington, and easy access to northern New York to help make your stay a great and enjoyable vacation. We hope to be back in the future. Since we had our German Shepherd with us during our trip, he accompanied us everywhere we went. Vermont is a very pet-friendly state. Vermont Country Store is great. The Teddy Bear Factory is another great place. Don't forget to visit Woodstock! Rutland is a great town. Above all, try to check out the Scenic drive in Arlington and the Monks of New Skete in Cambridge, NY. The nuns' 16 flavors of cheesecake are beyond belief. Ask Rachel Ray, if you don't believe me. Since we are from Pennsylvania, it is a great getaway for us. Anyway, it was a great vacation and very enjoyable.

Here's a good way to start a fantasy. Amazingly sexy Rachel Bilson and newly colored ginger hottie, Blake Lively, all dolled up and dressed up for a yacht trip out in the French Riviera. Oh, yeah, the fantasy part — I'm the captain, horrible storm, everybody below deck, cramped quarters, and subsequent stories of sweaty survivor sex that would burn the ears of even the most hardened seamen (yes, seamen). As it turns out, this twin sexy pair were really on some fancy boat courtesy of Chanel and whatever new line of merchandise their pimping for the season. Which is why my fantasies must remain lost at sea while some shmoes from Chanel marketing get to tip champagne with Rachel and Blake. Life can be so unfair at times. Enjoy.

Rachel Bilson Sexy Bikini Pictures From the Barbados Lost Weekend
You want your sextastic Rachel Bilson wet and lovely bikini pictures? Come and get 'em. This Hebrew School hottie packed up a few of her skimpier two-piece lycra numbers and headed down to the islands with Hayden Christensen, aka Star Wars ruiner, for what we like to call the multiple-bikini candid photoshoot wonderment (or HAWT for short). Mmm, damp and drippy and nipply Rachel Bilson, I fear I may need some alone time to unconfuse my private thoughts. Oops, is that cameltoe? Further confusion sets in. And people say leering is easy. Not a chance. Enjoy.

First, let's be honest, that may not actually be a K-9. It might just be the world's most clever little person in a dog suit discovering a way to get Rachel Bilson to hump his backside. I'm not exactly sure what was going down on the streets of L.A. between vastly underrated hottie Rachel Bilson and the furry beast that was walking her, but I know that I'm hardly the man to judge others on their furry play conduct. Live and let live and, please, somebody get pictures of Rachel bathing that thing. Enjoy.
Rachel Bilson Pictures in C Are Grade A Bilson
Rachel Bilson gets her sextastic groove on in these pictures for C magazine where the smoking hot actress gets all kinds of heavenly looking in some kind of fashion and style I'll never understand, but the minute I stop ogling her hot body and that look on her face, I suppose that might become important. Enjoy.
Rachel Bilson and Anna Faris, Just a Couple Hotties Pimping Target
There are few places on this blue planet where I'm considered a VIP. But Target is surely one of them, thanks to my intense and loyal shopping habits. I once bought 30 pairs of socks for $50. I don't even wear socks, but my collection of puppets from said purchase has made the cover of many arts and crafts magazines. So, I was kind of surprised when I was not invited to the Target VIP event to pimp something or other discount merchandise related. Especially when I saw the array of celebrity hotties that the box store had lined up to co-pimp, not the least of which were the secret lust of my life, Rachel Bilson, looking fine in her Target frock, and Anna Farris, funny, sexy, cleavy, and looking all kinds of 'wish she were my girlfriend (I mean, if I didn't already have a girlfriend who reads this site and is a black-belt in some punishing form of mystical Eastern arts). Lucky for Target, I don't take things personally; I'll be back there this afternoon buying 10,000 rubber bands for $6. I love a bargain almost as much as I love sexy celebrities. Enjoy.
