Welcome to the Original SnoreWizard Review
Recommended by Richard Tyrrell (RDT MDTA) and A leading Professor of Respiratory Medicine.
Today I would like to give you some more information and facts about a product called SnoreWizard.
SnoreWizard was invented by David Hawkes to solve his own snoring problem, It has been developed, tested and manufactured in the UK and is sold worldwide today as one of the most effective ways to stop snoring and get a peaceful night`s sleep.
SnoreWizard works by effectively reducing or completely eliminating the vibrations in the throat tissues that cause you to snore, by moving the lower jaw slightly forward and improving the airflow.
What separates this product from the other mandibular advancement devices on the market is that no heating and moulding is required (Boil and Bite).
This leads to the following advantages that SnoreWizard has over the competition.
A leading Professor of Respiratory Medicine , at a UK NHS Hospital , with a major interest in sleep apnoea and snoring was involved in testing the Snorewizard and confirmed its effectiveness in reducing snoring . As a result it is recommended in NHS sleep clinics for control of snoring." . The Snorewizard is a completely natural remedy to cure a snoring problem and an instant solution and aid for snorers and their partners who, night after night, suffer with snoring problems.
. Snorewizard is a one size fits all there is no moulding and fitting required which can be a very difficult process.
.The lifetime of the mouth piece lasts up to 4 times longer than some of the boil and bite mouthpieces.
.With the Snorewizard you can also breathe comfortably through your mouth and nose.
.Snorewizard is made of high quality 'soft-feel' plastic which lets the mouthpiece feel soft and comfortable in your mouth instead of hard.
.Can be trimmed with very sharp scissors.
.Does not lose its form due to teeth grinding and stops teeth grinding as well.
Richard Tyrrell (RDT MDTA) "I am a dental technician who has owned and run a specialized Dental Laboratory for 27 years. I have manufactured and supplied custom - made anti-snoring devices to dentists for about 9 years. I advise Snorewizard as a specialist consultant on the design and effectiveness of the product. They made several changes following my advice and I am satisfied that the end product of the Snorewizard is a good and effective anti-snoring device. I believe that Snorewizard is an effective answer as a single size product. I understand that Snorewizard are achieving an 92% satisfaction rate, which is very much what I would expect."
This concludes the review and for more information please contact a Snorewizard distributer near you.

Nice news, hopefully will get an expert effort all-around like on The Social Network, that is, great directing, acting and music. Very curious as to what actor will get the Jobs role.
The better Steve Jobs movie gets one script closer to being made!
Aaron Sorkin, award winning writer of The West Wing, The Social Network, A Few Good Men, The Newsroom and countless other acclaimed dramas has reportedly turned in his script for Sony's official adaption of Walter Issaacson's Steve Jobs biography. AJ Marechal writes for Variety:
Variety has also confirmed that Sorkin has turned in script for Sony's Steve Jobs biopic, which Sorkin was tapped to pen in spring 2012.
They also confirmed a season three pickup for The Network, so good news for Sorkin fans all around. According to previous reports, Sorkin will be structuring the movie around three scenes, before and after the introductions of the Mac, NeXT Cube, and iPod. No release date yet. Any guesses as to wish Sorkinisms we'll see in the official — read not Ashton Kutcher — Steve Jobs movie?

The better Steve Jobs movie gets one script closer to being made!
Should be exciting !
Sent from the iMore App
I wonder why they haven´t decided to include the iPhone. I think that was the product responsible for modern day Apple.
No, it was the iPod that was responsible for "modern day Apple."
It seems to me the only reason to stop the movie on the iPod though, is that it's being framed as a sort of "misunderstood genius" story, because he actually got booed at the iPod introduction and the press ate them alive the next day.
What's probably going to happen is that the movie ends on that, and then some text rolls across telling us how in fact, this was the event that led them back to greatness. Then ... credits.
I sure hope not though. Jobs was in no way a "misunderstood genius" in my book. To frame it that way is both banal and inaccurate.
I suppose your right. Though I think of the iPod as the Apple Middle Ages. It would be nice to see what would have been a presumed failure (iPod) catapult Apple to what can be considered their biggest success. That would make for a rather long movie though.
Interesting choice of what to frame the movie around. If I were a producer or director I'd be chomping at the bit to do the iPhone introduction. Hell, if I'm the actor playing Jobs that's the opportunity to really shine so I'd be demanding that they really highlight that event in the movie.
I like Steve Jobs but I question if there is a profitable market for another Steve Jobs movie. Read the Walter Isaacson biography though. It's excellent.
"The Social Netowork" was both a yawner as well as a very tame, "standard" biopic. Which doesn't give me any hope that Sorkin will be any more successful with a Jobs movie. He has chosen (different from all his other movies), a "radical" approach for this movie in making it all real-time and only three scenes/sets. This also doesn't give me much hope that this will be a successful movie.
The reality here (hype and popularity aside), is that we have a very "workaday" writer penning a rather radical script, and that rarely works out very well. People are confusing Sorkin's immense *popularity* with immense talent (not the same thing at all), and confusing the popularity of the Social Network movie, with it being "good."

CATS Map Will Help Navigate Light Rail Extension Traffic
Major construction of bridges and tracks for the blue line light rail extension will begin in the next few months. And with that, be ready to spend more time in traffic. Charlotte Area Transit System officials announced Friday that it's making a map available to give commuters a heads up on road and lane closures and turning restrictions during construction.
On the city's website, a map displays the future station stops of the 9.3 mile extension with icons displaying road blocks. When you click on the closure icons, the map gives you suggestions on detours you can take to reduce your time in traffic.
The blue line extension will have 11 station stops from 9th Street in uptown all the way to UNC Charlotte. The project is now in the civil construction phase as trees are being cleared and retaining walls are starting to go up.
The blue line is expected to be complete by Spring 2017.

This fall has been a real pain in the butt because I'm a New York Jets fan. The only week of football I'm actually looking forward to is Week 10 because the Jets have a bye. I get to take a much deserved break from watching the Jets get pummelled by everyone and anyone.
Because the New York Jets aren't doing me any favors, I'd like to thank Leanna Decker, that busty, redhead Playboy model for donning a sexy referee uniform and playing with the pigskin. She's made me realize that football isn't all about suffering. It's also about busty redheads named Leanna Decker.
Other than the New York Jets, the referees are usually the worst part of football. But with Leanna Decker making the calls, I'm totally down with whatever she sees.
Dear NFL,
If the referees get locked out again, please get Leanna Decker and other busty redheads to fill in. Everyone would be much happier.

Bronx Ecology by Allen Hershkowitz, Island Press, $20, ISBN 1559638648
ALLEN Hershkowitz, senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council in New York City, is an ambitious and iconoclastic environmentalist. His attempt to set up a mill that made recycled paper in the poorest part of the Bronx was the largest private sector manufacturing venture ever attempted in New York City. It failed at the eleventh hour, but the experience, presented in his book
The casual reader, meanwhile, will be charmed to see how Hershkowitz, formerly an adversarial politician, is rescued from cynicism and us-and-them thinking the moment he escapes the halls of Congress and gets to grips with the nuts and bolts of the industrial process.
Hershkowitz's enthusiasm is infectious as he outlines his revised environmentalist agenda: "We must strive to become the developers and owners ...

Local Government Committee: CANCELLED
The Local Government Committee meeting was cancelled today. Anyone know why? I also can't find if they have rescheduled it. Is this bill heading straight for Taxes? I wonder ...
If you were wondering where my post was today, I wrote something over at Twins Territory called Return on Investment. Not my best work, but it got my point across. Of course, my buddy David Wintheiser has already ripped it to shreds. It sure is nice to have someone I can count on!
See you tomorrow.

Shane, the HF2480 will be heard tomorrow morning at 9:55 AM in the Rules and Legislative Administration Committee...Here's the schedule:
Posted by: Kevin at May 12, 2005 4:40 PM
Is that another committee, or does that mean that it already passed the local govt committee?
Posted by: Vince at May 12, 2005 4:55 PM
It's another committee and will have to pass one more after this to reach the floor. Perhaps after this it will go to Local Gov't and bypass Krinkie's committee....One can hope. Maybe this was all done by Sviggum as he is on this committee...He did say he would do ANYTHING in his power to pass this bill.
Using Shane's voter's guide, it looks like the bill should pass this committee 12-8 with 3 unknowns....CLOSE...CROSS YOUR FINGERS!

Finance Minister Amara Konneh has instructed his senior management team, particularly the Expenditure Department ensure the timely payment of civil servants salaries across government.
A Press Release issued by the MoF Media Services says as part its unwavering commitment to serve the people of Liberia the Ministry of Finance has made payment of civil servants salaries a priority.
The head of Liberia's Treasury noted that the timely payment of salaries to Civil Servants as well as pensioners will induce productivity at workplaces and at the same time stimulate the domestic economy giving a more glaring reality to "papa na come."
Minister Konneh, in an emergency meeting with his senior management team Saturday, challenged them to fast track the salary payment issue, especially in the wake of the upcoming holiday seasons. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance will begin the payment of salaries throughout the country for the months of November and December beginning November 15th.

Zurn® Pex Class Action
Informational Website
Q Pex Fittings
This is an informational web site for putative class actions against the maker of Zurn Pex plumbing systems. Zurn's fittings are identified by a Q Pex or a QPex stamped on their side. The homeowners who brought these cases claim that Zurn's brass fittings were incorrectly designed and manufactured. As a result, the homeowners allege that the Zurn Pex fittings fail prematurely – sometimes only months after installation. Substantial water damage may occur when the fittings fail.
Zurn has acknowledged that it has seen an increased number of premature failures and leaks in its QPex fittings but denies that it is liable for those failures. This case is intended to determine who is responsible for the premature failures.
The "Ticking Time Bomb"
The problems with Zurn Pex fittings cracking and leaking are so severe that one of Zurn's own representatives calls the fittings a "ticking time bomb." The following is an excerpt from a 2005 email from that Zurn representative:
Zurn Stops Selling Brass Pex Fittings
After selling approximately 200 million brass fittings for its pex systems, Zurn stopped selling brass fittings in May 2010. It will now sell only plastic fittings for pex systems.
We believe Zurn's withdrawal of the brass fittings from the market is strong evidence that the brass fittings are defective.
New Developments
The federal judge coordinating the cases filed against Zurn has preliminarily approved a settlement that would resolve claims brought for problems with Zurn pex plumbing systems. If you own such a system, you should review the settlement documents to determine what the settlement provides and what options are available to you. Information about the settlement, claim forms, and case documents may be obtained at www.plumbingfittingsettlement.com

Has Anyone Noticed Something Weird About "The Game Of Thrones" Instagram?
I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it: Funko dolls. Funko dolls everywhere.
1. So Game of Thrones has an official Instagram account, which makes sense because fans love being able to see in-depth behind the scenes photos…
2. shots of the cast bonding…
3. and cutesy in-jokes with the fandom.
4. Wait a minute.
5. That's not Emmy-winning actress Emilia Clarke as Danaerys "Stormborn" of the House Targaryen!
6. And I'm sorry but that is NOT Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in costume portraying the Kingslayer Jamie Lannister.
7. Every single picture on this Instagram feed is of Funko dolls!
8. Even the actual photos of cast members include Funko dolls.
(okay, this one is pretty cute) #teamlannister
9. Does no one else find this weird?
(this is for you, #teamstark)
10. I mean yes, cute, but also just a LITTLE weird?
11. Oh. Well I guess it's just me.
12. I guess I'll talk to you guys later.

Yes, "Got Milk," "I Want My MTV" and their ilk entered the lexicon. But this "manufacturing feelings" business is never defended or attacked as art. Sure, these witty wizards are creating arty sales or brand positioning pitches (more mission creep for the movie). But there is no suggestion that they're touching anyone with this, that they're just creating impulses, not moving the soul.
Aged ad men and women remember their greatest hits, show off their free-spirited and fancifully decorated workplaces. And there is never a naysayer, an outside observer or anyone else to say, "Yeah, and?"
Screening at: Sat., Mar. 28, 7:15 p.m., Enzian; 4 p.m. Fri. April 3, Regal Winter Park 20.

Brakes on your car will usually squeak because they either need to be replaced, or they have a relatively high metallic content in them. Brakes have small metal indicators in them that let you know when the brake pads are getting low. Basically, it will sound a bit like fingernails on a chalkboard, and that let's you know that you need to switch out your brake pads soon or you'll be grinding full metal against metal.
However, some of the longer lasting brake pads are semi-metallic. This means that they have a relatively high metallic content in the brake pads, which makes them last longer. These can start squeaking even when they're brand new, but the squeaking will be off and on. It won't be like when you need to replace the pads, which will be a consistent squeaking every time you press the brakes.
So, if you haven't gotten new brakes recently, I'd probably check your brake pads. More than likely, you need to have them replaced.

YIELD: Makes 6 (first course) servings with leftovers
ACTIVE TIME: 40 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hr
Wash sliced leeks in a large bowl of cold water, agitating them, then lift out and drain well in a colander.
Cook leeks, onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper in 4 tablespoons butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Peel potato and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, then add to onion mixture along with wine, stock, water, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in parsley and simmer soup, uncovered, 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf and keep soup at a bare simmer.
Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then add flour and cook roux, whisking, until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 cups simmering stock (from soup), whisking vigorously (mixture will be thick), then whisk mixture into remaining soup and return to a simmer, whisking.
Blend soup in 4 batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), about 1 minute per batch, transferring to a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Reheat if necessary, then season with salt and pepper.
Beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until it almost forms soft peaks. Serve soup topped with cream.
Cooks' note: Soup is best when made 1 to 3 days ahead (to allow flavors to develop); do not whip cream ahead. Chill soup, uncovered, until completely cooled, then cover. Reheat, thinning with water if necessary.

In this large real-world observational study of patients undergoing revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease, there appears to be a long-term benefit, in relationship to both death and major adverse cardiac events, from bypass over ;stenting regardless of diabetic status. Although limited by its retrospective and observational nature, this study demonstrates that bypass remains an excellent option for revascularization in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
Extended Follow-up for Outcomes of Drug-Eluting Stents in "Real-World" Practice: Is Caution Indicated?
Three-year outcomes, in contrast to 6-month outcomes, in patients with drug-eluting stents suggest an increased risk of major adverse cardiac death, especially all-cause death, compared to bare metal stents. While drug-eluting stents demonstrated a lower risk of 6-month total vessel revascularization, extended follow up showed no difference in total vessel revascularization or myocardial infarction. Drug-eluting stent patients had a lower risk of bypass. Given the current dominance of drug-eluting stents in clinical practice, this raises alarm that long-term outcomes need more scrutiny.
Short-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution is Associated with the Risk of Ischemic Coronary Events, Especially among Patients with Coronary Disease
Short-term particulate exposures contributed to myocardial infarction and unstable angina events, especially among patients with underlying coronary artery disease and cardiac risk factors. Individuals with stable presentation and those with angiographically-demonstrated normal coronaries are not as susceptible to short-term particulate exposure.
Blood Transfusions Are Associated with Worse Outcomes Compared to No Transfusion in Patients with Similar Degrees of Anemia and Hematocrit Decline While Undergoing Coronary Angiography
When compared to non-transfused patients undergoing coronary angiography with similar baseline and decreased hematocrits, transfused patients were at increased risk of in-hospital, 6-month, and 1-year death. Furthermore, receiving ABO/Rh dissimilar blood was associated with a two-fold increase in mortality at one year. These results cast doubt on the practice of routinely transfusing blood in CAD patients without severe anemia.
A Rapid Genotyping Assay for Polymorphisms Affecting the Dose-Response to Warfarin Therapy
Here we first demonstrate the clinical feasibility of rapid genotyping to guide anticoagulation therapy in "real-time". This rapid test method will allow same visit application of genotyping to enable genetic-driven dosing in clinical trials and practice with the goal of improving anticoagulant efficiency and safety. The success of this approach also may have broader implications for the practical use of clinical pharmacogenetics.
The Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Combined Simvastatin and Fenofibrate Therapy in Diabetic Patients with Dyslipidemia: The DIACOR Study
In this 1-year randomized trial of diabetic patients, combination therapy of simvastatin (20 mg) and fenofibrate (160 mg) was safe, well-tolerated and more effective in positively affecting lipids than either form of monotherapy. Whether higher doses of statin in combination with fenofibrate may be even more effective and safe remains to be determined.
We Are Getting Fatter - But Are Our Cath Labs Ready?
A steady increase in weight was found over the past 13 years, a trend that is projected to continue. Cath labs will need to be properly accommodate this super-sized trend. Weight limitations will need to expand beyond 400-450 lbs and x-ray generators capable of higher than 100KW outputs will be required. With increased radiation dose (often 3-4 times that of a normal BMI) and repeat procedures now the norm to treat progressive CAD, the cumulative radiation exposure greatly increases risk of malignancy for this population. In addition, increasing occupational exposure to Cardiologists and staff from scatter radiation may reduce the numbers of patients able to be treated.
Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Is Especially Predictive of Coronary Artery Disease Among Patients with the Metabolic Syndrome
Predictive ability of LpPLA2 for CAD was enhanced in patients with MS and remained predictive of future CAD death as well. These findings emphasize the important role that vascular inflammation plays in atherosclerotic risk associated with the metabolic syndrome.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: It is Safe for Women as Long as They Receive the Right Medications
In a large, consecutive, series of patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, risks were similar at 30 days and 5 years for women and men. Women were found to be just as likely to receive appropriate secondary prevention medications at discharge and received just as much clinical benefit as men. Thus, women can undergo percutaneous coronary intervention in the current technology era with similar safety as men as long as they are given appropriate secondary prevention medications after.
Risk Scores Combining the Complete Blood Count and Basic Metabolic Profile are Highly Predictive of Death in Both Independent Training and Test Populations
In large 2 large populations, risk scores combining statistically weighted complete blood count (CBC) and basic metabolic panel (BMP) components were highly predictive of death. We propose these scores as important additions to risk prediction that can be easily computed in a clinical laboratory for use in improving patient care at negligible incremental cost.

Iowans still don't know whose idea it was to give two dozen dismissed state workers confidential settlements. They still don't know if there was one mastermind.
Apparently, Governor Terry Branstad isn't trying to find that out either.
Asked Monday if his administration was doing more fact-finding or investigating into the settlements, the governor responded, "Well, what I asked was that my staff would find out whatever secret, or whatever confidential agreements there were and we did that. And then I also asked them to prepare an executive order to prevent this from happening in the future. So we've taken action."
A spokesman confirmed later the governor wants the Senate to focus on the future by passing a House bill to ban the use of future settlements.
Democrats instead are focusing much of their time looking at the past.
Tuesday, lawmakers will hold another legislative oversight hearing as they try to determine the person or people behind the efforts to expand the use of confidential settlements for state workers, as well as offering some workers additional money to remain silent about the terms of their departure.

In my first post about the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC, I gave my readers the facts of the case and then I summarized the Court's opinion. See: https://wendygdphillips.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/citizens-united-v-fec-%E2%80%93-american-jurisprudence-at-its-best-or-partisanship/
In this post, close scrutiny is given to parts of the Court's opinion which I consider to be good, bad and ugly.
The Good
In Citizens United, the Supreme Court left intact the disclaimer and disclosure provisions of section 311 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA). Under 311, televised electioneering communications funded by anyone other than a candidate must include a disclaimer that "___ is responsible for the content of this advertising." That statement must be made in a clearly spoken manner and displayed on the screen in a clearly readable manner for at least 4 seconds. It must state that the communication is not authorized by the candidate or candidate's committee. It must also display the name and address (or website address) of the person or group that funded the advertisement.
Under BCRA section 201, any person who spends more than $10,000 on electioneering communications within a calendar year must file a disclosure statement with the FEC. That statement must identify the person making the expenditure, the amount of the expenditure, the election to which the communication was directed, and the names of certain contributors.
Citizens United challenged the disclaimer and disclosure provisions of the BCRA as unconstitutional. Citizens United also argued that by forcing the corporation to devote 4 seconds of each advertisement to a spoken disclaimer, the statute is decreasing both the quantity and effectiveness of the corporation's speech.
The Supreme Court rejected both arguments. The Court held that disclosure is a less restrictive alternative to more comprehensive regulations of speech. The Court also noted that the disclaimers required by section 311 provide the electorate with information to insure that the voters are fully informed about who is speaking about the candidate. The First Amendment protects political speech; and disclosure permits citizens and shareholders to react to the speech of corporate entities in a proper way. This transparency enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper weight to different speakers and different messages.
The Bad
The Citizens United Court left intact limits on direct contributions to politicians. The Court recognized that large contributions could be given to secure a political quid pro quo and there is a sufficiently important governmental interest in preventing corruption and the appearance of corruption, so it upheld limits on direct contributions. However, the Court did not extend this reasoning to expenditures for ads and other speech. "Independent expenditures, including those made by corporations do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption," the Court stated. Am I missing something here? So there is corruption when a politician does a political favor for a corporation that made a contribution to his campaign, but there is no corruption when a politician does a political favor for a corporation that spent millions on an ad campaign which endorsed that politician? Go figure!
The Ugly
During arguments for Citizens United, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Paul Stevens asked whether foreign interests would be able to funnel money into American elections through their U.S. subsidiaries if the court struck down 441b. One of the attorneys for Citizens United replied, "I would not rule that out."
In its Opinion, the Court side-stepped the issue and refused to make a ruling on whether foreign corporations would be able to influence our political process by funding election ads. Instead, the Court stated that there is no need to answer the question, and referred to the fact that 2 U.S.C 441(e) bans contributions and expenditures by foreign nationals. This may be true, but the operative word in 441e is "nationals". How can this Court say that the question of whether foreign organizations can influence our Nation's political process is best answered by 441e when 441e applies only to foreign nationals or individuals, and not corporations? This creates a loophole for foreign corporations. It will be interesting to see what foreign corporations will do to capitalize on this blunder by the Court.

Elder Scrolls Online vs World of Warcraft – Part 3 (PvP)
If you haven't already, check out Part 1 of our Elder Scrolls Online vs World of Warcraft Blog series here – Part 1 is all about the differences between the user interface and the overall graphics used between the 2 games.
Well, here we are with my 3rd installment of the World of Warcraft vs Elder Scrolls Online blog series – who knew there would be so much to write about these two games and their similarities / differences?
In this blog post, were talking about PvP. Now, originally I was going to combine PvP and Questing together, because lets face it, these 2 things are the 2 most done activities which every player will take part in (and take up most of our time within these virtual worlds). However, once I started writing and putting my views down about PvP, I realized that Questing will have to have its own post, as there's a lot to say about PvP as it is. Here goes…
PvP in WoW
I absolutely loved PvP in World of Warcraft when it was first released up to about the first 6 months, there were no Battlegrounds at all, no easy option to join a PvP match and get teleported to the location, no it wasn't that easy.
In the younger days of the game, PvP was pretty much open world style, where members either on the Alliance or Horde side would rally together an army of 40-60 players and all meet at a location. Then travel together to an opposing factions area or city and attack them, sometimes lasting up to hours of none stop war.
I've mainly played the Alliance side, so we always used to go to the Crossroads and attack there. As soon as the Horde were alerted, they would send their own force of players to come and defend us off – it was pretty sweet times in PvP. Even if there was only a small group of you it was still possible to reak some havoc. These were the proper times of PvP and my most enjoyable memory in WoW. Then I think everyone got lazy and so Battlegrounds were born. That killed off open world PvP pretty much completely, the rest was killed off by the developers adding in never ending spawning Elite guards at every location that would make it overly hard to even try and PvP like this anymore, especially in small groups or as stealth characters.
Ok, so there's quite a few different PvP game types in WoW, Alterac Valley being my favorite because it's more like the old style open world PvP. And then you've got the arena… But that's pointless even trying to enter unless you've got major end game gear already. But either way, unless your a Paladin or a Death Knight, you've got no real chance of winning a one on one encounter anyway.
I used to love PvP in WoW, it was my favorite thing to do. Heck I even leveled a new Rogue up to max level just for PvP. But when your so under powered your Stealth attacks hardly touch your opponent, what's the point anymore? Can you tell I lost the faith in WoW due to the PvP?
As I mentioned before in the Combat section of this series, attacking in WoW is more of a 'work out the best way to press buttons to minimize cool downs and rotation' style. So if you haven't got this worked out then your going to have a hard time.
PvP in ESO
PvP in Elder Scrolls Online is a whole new experience compared to WoW's style. Yet in both games PvP is accessible at Level 10 or higher. In ESO the whole area of Cyrodill is a PvP area, a vast space filled with land, forts, villages, resource buildings and most important thing to note… The Imperial City.
The Imperial City is at the center of the province, and is the main goal for any PvP'er. As a part of your Faction, your main PvP goal is to work together to conquer the neighboring villages and resources such as lumber mills and mines, which will then let your side build epic war machines in which you can use to war against the current King of the Imperial City.
That's right, your actually PvP'ing for your factions right to take over and own the Imperial City, as well as one of your factions member being crowned King or Queen of Cyrodill.
Not all PvP in ESO is on the front lines, there are multiple jobs which any player can take up. From capturing the resource areas around the land, reinforcing keeps, setting up siege weapons, upgrading guards and more. So if your a lower level and want to keep out of the firing line, there's still a lot of things for you to do to help in the war of Tamriel.
3 Factions – now this is where PvP gets interesting. Will it be a free for all with each faction against each other, or will 2 factions work together in an attempt for one of them to be able to be crowned King? Anything could happen within the war, alliances and betrayal between the factions. This also leaves the PvP conquest in a situation that could last weeks on end, not just a 20 minute match as seen in WoW. We are actually fighting for something and as a faction everyone needs to play their part, either on the front lines, defense, resource collecting, or with siege weaponry in order for your side to take the advantage.
Which PvP is Right for me?
The choice really comes down to Open World PvP vs Instanced PvP. Do you prefer having quick 20 minute matches which you either win or loose and get a little prize for winning each time? Or do you prefer an open war stlye PvP method in which there's multiple tasks to do and taking over the Imperial City is actually an effort to achieve in itself, yet comes well rewarded?
Then compare the Combat systems between the 2 MMORPG's – WoW with it's rotation based spell casting and ESO with it's real time combat method?
I know which one I would prefer, but what about you?
Carry on this Discussion at our Forums!
One Response to Elder Scrolls Online vs World of Warcraft – Part 3 (PvP)
I too used to like the vanilla wow world pvp battles, everyone used to have some awesome battles at south shore and Tauren mill. I always remembered this Mage called Lament me and Dizapeer would try to gank him as rogues.He was a very good Mage and always had back up with him , a warrior priest rogue and Druid . We'll imagine him and his cronies in the middle of about forty other horde and fighting alliance while the 2 or us try to kill him, tons of deaths but we got our share of kills too. One day they tried to attack Iron forge and he was alone away from his group and ambush backstabbing rogues had higher dam if you spec'd right, well I was able to 2 shot him and the dam was insane. Just a glimpse into good times in wow but I'm ready for new adventures in ESO got my pre-order imperial edition and I can't wait till it goes live for real. See you in game all!

With the 2012 campaign season moving from primary to election mode, Bill invites back to his studio master media decoder Kathleen Hall Jamieson for a closer look at the role media misinformation will play in the Obama vs. Romney TV ad slugfest.
Jamieson runs the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, including the sites FactCheck.org and FlackCheck.org. On this week's Moyers & Company , Jamieson discusses the sharp increase in deceptive advertising in the 2012 race, and equally-alarming new obstacles to campaign ad transparency.
Later in the show, Bill talks to RoseAnn DeMoro, who heads the largest registered nurses union in the country, and will lead a Chicago march protesting economic inequality on May 18. DeMoro is championing the Robin Hood Tax, a small government levy the financial sector would pay on commercial transactions like stocks and bonds. The money generated, which some estimate to be as much as $350 billion annually, could be used for social programs and job creation — ultimately to people who, without a doubt, need it more than the banks do. Though the power and influence of Big Banking is intimidating, DeMoro and her organization have an inspiring history of defeating some of the toughest opponents in government and politics.

DeLand, FL (PRWEB) July 15, 2014
*To see if you qualify for this Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial in DeLand, visit Avail Clinical Research on the web (http://www.availclinical.com) or contact us directly at (386) 785-2404. There is no cost to participate, no insurance is required, and you may receive compensation for time and travel.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind (within dose), placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept and dose-range-finding study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of an experimental spray in adult subjects with clinically symptomatic mild to moderate OA of the knee. For subjects with bilateral knee pain, both knees will be treated, but the most symptomatic knee (i.e., the most painful knee as measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index pain subscale score at the time of screening) will be designated as the target knee for efficacy analyses. For subjects with unilateral knee pain, only the symptomatic (target) knee will be treated.
Each subject will receive study treatment for 12 weeks starting on Day 1. Qualified site personnel will contact subjects 1 week after the first administration of study medication to check if there are any issues with the spray bottles, administration of study medication, or adverse events (AEs). Subjects will return to the site at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment for efficacy and safety assessments. The Week 12 visit will be the end of study (EOS) visit. On the final day of dose administration (the Week 12/EOS) visit, subjects will receive 1 dose of study medication in the morning only, and radiographs will be performed to assess changes in the target knee joint space. Subjects will have a Follow-up visit approximately 7 days after the Week 12/EOS visit.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee is a major cause of medical disability and costs in the US. The prevalence of symptomatic OA has been assessed at 12% in the US population of persons ages 25 to 75 years. Direct and indirect costs for OA of the knee and hip in the US in 1994 were $15.5 billion and account for a substantial proportion of costs in managed care plans. There are steps people can take to prevent this disease.
This experimental spray is a new prodrug of ibuprofen that is being developed as a topical NSAID spray for the relief of acute pain and the signs and symptoms of OA. In vitro studies demonstrated that the spray, when administered topically to rat skin, can penetrate rat skin at a very high rate and has up to 75% bioavailability in rats. Studies in rats and other animal species showed that the topically administered spray was readily converted to ibuprofen in plasma and other tissues. When the spray is converted to ibuprofen in vivo, 2-(diethylamino) ethanol, an inactive precursor chemical for many currently marketed drugs is released. The half-life of the experimental spray in rat plasma is about 1 minute, and more than 99% of the dose is converted to ibuprofen in 20 minutes in rat plasma (at 37°C). The half-life in human plasma is about 5.83 minutes, and 98.5% of the dose is converted to ibuprofen in 20 minutes in human plasma (at 37°C).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an experimental spray compared to a placebo for relief of knee pain in subjects with OA of the knee.
To be eligible to participate in the study, subjects must meet the following criteria:

The story is, when I had more dexterity in my hands, some people claimed I sped through the halls, endangering the shins and feet of Ravens' employees. One day, practical joker and running backs' coach Wilbert Montgomery posted speed limit signs all over the facility. There was a set speed to go into and out of the cafeteria, and a different speed for cruising open hallways. I opened up the wheelchair one day and got it up to 3.7 mph, and had to shut her down before she overheated. He (Montgomery) got me pretty good with that one. It was classic.

7 Heaven has secured a network of digital screens in 165 private-jet terminals across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, providing full-motion digital advertising, product placement, sponsorship and editorial opportunities.
An estimated four million passengers travel across the EMEA region in private jets each year – an audience that spends an annual average of £400,000 per head on luxury goods and services. 7 Heaven believes its screens will allow brands to reach 77 per cent of this audience.
Danielle Klein, the founder of 7 Heaven, said the network would open up a previously hard-to-reach audience, with content tailored to location and events such as the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
7 Heaven has offices in London, Paris, Geneva and Shanghai.

Journalists and non editorial members of the Kwara state owned media organizations who were recently redeployed by the state government to ministries in the state have resumed work in the respective ministries they were posted to Sunday Trust gathered.
One of the affected journalists who spoke to our reporter said many of the affected staff agreed to resume work in the ministries they were posted to because they have reached an understanding with government on its position in his words. "If it's about improvement in our welfare, repositioning of the organisations and prompt payment of our salary we think government was in the right direction".
He said after considering government position, the state chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists [NUJ] agreed that the affected workers should comply with government directive.
It would be recalled that when government announced the decision to redeploy the staff of its own media organizations the state chapter of the NUJ rose against it claiming it was an absurd and lopsided exercise and ordered government to reverse it.
The NUJ in a statement jointly issued by its Chairman, Comrade Biodun Abdulkkareem and Secretary, Comrade Bisi Adedayo, posited that the redeployment of members of the union working in the state-owned media organizations to the Ministry of Information & Communication, to say the least, "is absurd and lopsided."
But the State Government insisted it has the power to right-size the workforce of the government-owned media in the state to enable them perform optimally. The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Chief Tunji Morounfoye, while responding to questions on activities of his ministry at the state House of Assembly said the step became necessary to ensure effective service delivery.
He, however, stressed that government was not trying to sack workers, saying those to be affected would be deployed to other places where they would be more relevant. He attributed overstaffing in the state-owned media to political influence. Morounfoye had argued that right-size of workers of government-owned media, does not mean that government wants to downsize or sack people but to move them to places where they will be productive. He said the exercise was part of government's plans to reposition state-owned media.
He restated government's commitment to repositioning Kwara State Television and The Herald newspapers to ensure efficient and effective service delivery in the corporations. "It is our contention that these thoroughbred media practitioners deployed to the ministry, will not only be relegated to the background, but will be redundant at their new place of assignments.
"Without prejudice to the 'good intention' of government, it is only expected that the committee will redeploy the 'dead woods' who contribute little or nothing to the production processes." He said
But the Union had questioned the refusal of government to pay the four-month salary arrears owed the staffers of the Kwara State Publishing & Printing Corporation (KPPC), publishers of The Herald titles as well as the non-implementation of the new national minimum wage to the staff of Kwara Television Service as enjoyed by all public servants in the federation today.
It, therefore, called on government through the Head of Service's committee, to reverse the action with a view to ensuring the continued cordial relationship between the Union and government.
It urged the committee to identify the idle hands that are not contributing anything meaningful to the production processes for the redeployment exercise.
However, it commended the government for the prompt release of additional funds for the completion of the new Press Centre in the state.
Commenting on this, one of the affected journalists commended government for not resorting to retrenchment of any media worker in the state. He said the redeployment exercises carried out by the committee saddled with the responsibility through the office of the Head of Service will only help to improve the welfare of the affected staff. "I think it's good that we have agreed to accept government directive because in the long run it will not only benefit us but the state as well," he said.

Rwanda has kept pace in the reduction of the mortality rate for children in the past two decades, a new report said yesterday.
The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) report, titled "Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed," says child mortality rates in the country were slashed from 156 deaths per 1000 children to 54 deaths per 1000 children born annually, reflecting a two-thirds reduction.
The fall implies the country is on course to achieving the Millennium Development Goal 4 - of reducing child mortality rates by two thirds by 2015.
And considering what has already been done in the health sector this year, some officials are confident the country has already achieved the required 52 per cent decline in child mortality rate.
The Minister of Health, Dr Agnes Binagwaho, congratulated Rwandans and health workers, in particular, for a job well done, but urged them to work even harder.
"Rwandans should be proud for what they have achieved, I am very grateful to the thousands of health workers who have dedicated their skills and time to make it happen, but we still have a long way to reach the level we want - the level of a middle income country," she told The New Times.
However, the minister refrained from speculating whether the country could have already hit the MDG Four target - nearly a year after the data that UNICEF used in its latest report was collected. She said accurate data on the latest progress will be available next year.
"I appeal to all my colleagues, the doctors and nurses to double their efforts, but I am happy and I am proud of them."
Reacting to the report, the Director of Malaria Division at Rwanda Biomedical Centre, Corine Karema, took to Twitter yesterday, and declared "Rwanda achieves MDG 4 as Rwanda's 2011 estimate is 54 per 1,000 live births!"
"The MDG 4 target is to reduce child mortality rate by 52 per 1000 children born, the figures in the report indicate that by 2011, the rates were at 54. This implies that today, with all that has been done, we have probably achieved the target," the Director General in charge of Communication at RBC, Arthur Asiimwe, told The New Times yesterday.
According to the report, nine low-income countries, including Rwanda,
Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Nepal and Niger have lowered their under-five mortality rate by 60 per cent or more over the last two decades.
The countries used simple, tried and tested methods to improve child survival: widespread immunisation campaigns for diseases like measles and polio; insecticide-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria; interventions ranging from folic acid supplements to clean delivery practices to improve newborn survival; and exclusive breastfeeding to address malnutrition.
"Part of what has led to Rwanda's success include, the universal health care insurance scheme (Mutuelle de Sante), which has made it possible for almost all Rwandans to have access to healthcare," said Asiimwe.
Other factors responsible for the gains are the Community Health Workers (CHW), who helped with providing basic treatment for diseases like malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea and mass vaccination against major killer diseases among children.
"Today, 99 percent of children have been vaccinated against the killer diseases. Also under the family planning programmes, we educated women about birth spacing and, today, the average birth space is about 2 years which saves children's lives" said Asiimwe.
A strong decline in the under-five malnutrition was also noted by the reduction from 18 percent of underweight children in 2006 to 11 percent in 2010/11.
UNICEF said under-five deaths are now increasingly concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which now account for 80 percent of the world's total.
MDG 4 sets out to reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds. The commitment to reduce child mortality rates was taken in 1990 setting targets to be achieved by 2015.
Last year, Rwanda achieved the MDG on sanitation, surpassing it by eight percent.
MDG target 7c calls for reduction by half (50 per cent), the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015.
Available figures indicate that by last year, about 58 percent of Rwandans had access to adequate sanitation.

Discover PS.org's Framing and Tactical Assault Projects!
Americans don't need a secret de-coder ring to understand the PR push to sell the Plan to destroy Social Security, but some may enjoy a trip down memory lane before the State of the Union re-defines privatization.
As the mystery of the supposedly inaccurate early exit polls indicating that Senator John Kerry was beating President Bush in several key states including Ohio in last month's election begins to fade from our memory, at least one Congressman is refusing to ignore this blatant irregularity.
A brand new report by the American Journal of Public Health has estimated that 866,000 African Americans died prematurely in the United States between 1991 and 2000 because they failed to receive the same level of health care as white patients.
The Ghosts of Mississippi will never be silenced--not until justice is done. Forty years later the klansmen who orchestrated the "Freedom Summer Slayings" of 1964 are finally being sought.
Arabs, Africans, Latinos, Muslims --the United States government just can't seem to agree on the best way to get rid of these pesky ethnicities: war, deportation, drug testing or concentration camps. Maybe a combination of all these tactics will finally do the trick.
In order to effectively frame the dialogue and shape the language necessary for progressive change, we must first take an introspective and honest look at both who and how America voted in last week's election.
This year's election theft tactic isn't limited to illegally purging Black voters from the voter rolls. This time the Republicans are challenging the federally guaranteed use of provisional ballots. This is crazy because the reason some voters are requesting a provisional ballot is because they were erroneously purged from the voter rolls in the first place!
Let's leave the land of delusion for awhile and highlight a few unpleasant facts of life under Bush over the last couple of years by taking a look at how George W. fares with civil rights and ethnic communites across the county. So before you start contemplating life as a Canadian just in case the unspeakable occurs on election day, arm yourself with the facts.
Many Muslims today realize that it is their American citizenship, not their Islamic identity that is tenuous. Prior to 9/11, Muslims in America were primarily focused on changing United States policy toward Palestine, Kashmir and Iraq. But since that time the effort to reconstitute their identities as American Muslims is making domestic relations, civil rights and interfaith relations much more important.
We consciously live in an era where fiction substitutes for fact, lies become misstatements, justice is now revenge and war is quickly becoming the norm. The unholy alliance between the Republicans and the Right Wing has just intensified as we enter the homestretch of the presidential election. The fact that they are resorting to these tactics is evidence that they are running scared. Gone is the Bush strut and swagger. Absent are the Haiku-laced press conferences of Donald Rumsfeld, who just yesterday had to admit that he has "seen no evidence of a Saddam Hussein-Al Qaeda connection". And Dick Cheney hasn't attempted to unite the country through fear in almost two weeks. Uh-oh. It seems that finally after four years, the paranoia of the thief has kicked in.
It's difficult to begin to heal the deep-seated wounds of 9/11 with Osama Bin Laden still at-large. As someone who lost a friend during the World Trade Center attacks, the capture of Saddam Hussein and the assassination of his sons along with over 11,000 Iraqi civilians and countless Afghanis, didnt make me feel any better nor did it bring me any closure.
The purging of felony voters from voter rolls across the country reminds us that even in the 21st century African-Americans continue to fight for the right to vote.

Seacrest: Fight between Minaj and Carey went "too far"
What were Minaj and Carey fighting about?
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ryan Seacrest describes the fight between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey during "American Idol" auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina as "a very heated, intense argument."

WGR614 v5 Help.
I just recently bought a new NetGear WGR614 v5 router. At first glance, it connected without any complications. I had configured it to recognize only my PC, and had no problems configuring it to detect and allow my Nintendo DS and PSP. But now, every once in awhile, it will freeze. All of the lights on it turn dim, and it will do nothing. I have tried a soft reset, hard reset, everything I can think of, but this problem still occurs frequently.
I could be in the middle of loading a page and it will freeze, forcing me to constantly perform soft and hard resets until it will stay connected long enough for me to finish what I was doing. I am a competitive gamer, and having my router disconnect in the middle of a game/match does not look good on my reputation. Is there anything that I can do to permanently rectify this problem?
Re: WGR614 v5 Help.
Hi XaviAce,
You just got it and its a v5? Wow that's an old unit, Netgear is up to rev v9 nowadays on the WGR614. I have a number of WGR614s including a v5 and its been working fine for about a year now, its on 24/7 at friend's house. For gaming I use a 614v8, seems to handle Counter Strike just fine on my Verizon DSL connection.
As has been pointed out on some other posts, the WGR614 is just a basic general purpose router and its performance may not be up to the level of a serious gamer with a really fast internet connection. Now why its actually locking up, even with just casual web browsing, seems to indicate its a hardware problem with the router. You could try to update the firmware, even reload it again iif its already the latest one, couldn't hurt. ALso do the complete reset thing that is in Mizoguchi's tag line to really clear the memory. If that doesn't fix it I would say either the roouter or the power supply has a hardware problem.
Re: WGR614 v5 Help.
Well, the only thing that uses my wireless connection is my DS and my PSP. These systems don't usually require much for online play. But, as you said, it may be the power supply. I have about 7 different 12v power adaptor, and it is only with one that it will even work. With any other adaptor, the only thing that will happen is that all of the lights on it will turn on, but nothing else. It would be just like it froze.
I must say in advance that this was the cheapest adaptor I could find and afford at the moment ($25 discounted at a department store), so I wasn't expecting it to be the best router I would ever have. I was simply expecting it to be able to allow me to get online with my DS and PSP, which it has been doing pretty well, despite the freezing. But I will try to find the appropriate 12V adaptor.
I can only hope that this is the only problem, because I don't have the money for another adaptor at the moment. I just started my junior year, and any money that I do find, I need to save for college. But thank you for your advice. Perhaps when I get enough money, I will get one of the v7s or v9s.
Re: WGR614 v5 Help.
You said you have a v5 router, correct? Would you happen to know the exact Volt Input and Output needed for this router, just in case it is the adaptor that 's the problem? Sorry in advance for the double post. I was in the middle of editing my response when the router froze. Go figure....
Re: WGR614 v5 Help.
All of the 614 power supplies I have seen are 12Vdc at 1 amp. The v5 I have came with a large heavy power supply that judging by the size and weight was a 60 Hz transformer, diodes and a big capacitor type of psu. All the other powers upplies that came with the v7, v8 and v9 614s I have came with the newer small lite weight switching type power supply. However, both power supplies are 12Vdc at 1A and seem to power any version router just fine.
I can look up the model numbers on the power supplies and post them later today, until then any one else out there that can post what the psu model numbers are?
Re: WGR614 v5 Help.
Large heavy power supply that came with my WGR614v5 is model # DV-1280-3.
I can get the model # of the others tomorrow.

Random Page Feature on Amazon.com for "NXT Idea Book"
Amazon.com now has a "Random Page" feature for the "NXT Idea Book". (This is different from the "Search Inside" feature).
On two different days of using this feature, I was able to access 35 different pages from the book. (The pages apparently change day-by-day. I don't know how many total pages are randomized).
This is a good way to see additional book excerpts online. To access the random page feature, go here and scroll down to the "Inside This Book" subheading. Then, click on the "Surprise Me" link.

Single Stream Recycling Changes Embraced
There's been some awfully big changes in garbage service in Onalaska and La Crosse recently and the garbage contractor for the two cities says people have handled those changes pretty well. Gary Harter tells us he's been really impressed with how people have embraced recycling, especially.
And Harter says La Crosse, officially beginning the new automated service just last week, has already doubled the recycling tonnage that goes curbside.
