Ice Packs vs. Warm Compresses for Pain
When to use heat and when to use cold:
It can sometimes be confusing whether to use heat or cold when treating sore muscles or an injury, but keep these facts in mind:
Types of warm packs/pads:
warm towel
heating pad
When muscles work, chemical byproducts are produced that need to be eliminated. When exercise is very intense, there may not be enough blood flow to eliminate all the chemicals. It is the accumulation of chemicals (i.e., lactic acid) that cause muscle ache. Because the blood supply helps eliminate these chemicals, use heat to help sore muscles after exercise.
Types of cold packs:
ice towel
ice pack/cold compress
When an injury or inflammation such as tendonitis or bursitis occurs, tissues are damaged. Cold application numbs the affected area, which can reduce pain and tenderness. Cold can also reduce swelling and inflammation.

MSI GX640-i5447LW7P
SpecificationsNotebook: MSI GX640-i5447LW7P (GX640 Series)

Reviews for the MSI GX640-i5447LW7P
New hardware, old weaknesses. The latest addition to MSI's gaming range is the new GX640. On the outside nothing has changed, but under the surface lurks a particularly powerful graphics card, the Radeon HD 5850 GDDR5. Is it all too much for the modest 15-inch case?

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850:
The HD 5850 is a slower clocked HD 5870 and is reliant on fast GDDR5 memory to perform in the high-end segment. It is based on the Desktop HD 5770 chip but with a lower clock speed.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
The Core i5-430M is a middle class dual core CPU that features only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-640M) and clocks between 2.26-2.53 GHz (Turbo Mode). Furthermore, VT-d, trusted Execution and AES features are missing in the 430M. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 500-733 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.7 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI), is a Taiwan based computer hardware manufacturer since 1986 best known for desktop computer motherboards. MSI also designs and manufactures graphics cards, barebone PCs, notebook computers, networking products, servers, multimedia, consumer electronics, and storage devices. MSI, as most Taiwanese computer manufacturers, sells products on OEM/ODM basis. It also sells products worldwide based on its own brand name "MSI". The market share of laptops with the MSI brand is rather low.
78.33%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.

This amp is awesome. For the guy who said it would go into power protect mode at 1 ohm its not that the amp can't handle it its your stock alternator not being able to keep up and your voltage is dropping to low thus sending it in to micro protect mode. Got this wired at 1 ohm to 2 Rockford Fosgate 12 inch p3's with a 220 amp alternator to keep up the power and all i can say is WOW. So in the future those of you who dont know how to hook up a system properly - DONT WRITE A REVIEW and TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL TO INSTALL. Also its CEA compliant so its 1800 watts peak not 900 just cause you stand outside your car and think it doesnt sound like 1800 doesn't mean its not just means you need to learn how to hook up your stuff.

My name is..
As some of you know I go by this strange name of Sunset Tahoe.
I know some of you were wondering awhile ago my real name, but I just chose to go with Sunset.
It is Nicole, but I can't stand my name for a few reasons. One, too many people freaking spell it wrong for some dumb reason. Two, it is too common for me. Three, not that unique to me really. I mean, it is an okay name, but I'd rather go by a different name.
You can call me Nic, or Sunset. One of my friends started calling me Nic and that is what my parents call me sometimes and I actually do not mind the sound of that nickname..
So there ya go. Oh and plus if you are friends with me on Facebook, that is where you would see my real name and my nickname.
Anyway, everyone have a nice day.

Comments about 50 oz Silver Bar - Johnson Matthey (Canada/Vintage):
Bought this as my first big bar, only because it was the only 50 oz'er available. It is a pretty cool bar, even if i did pay a little more for it. Being vintage, it makes you wonder where it's been. I think the 100's are the way to go, though, price-wise, along with some of the smaller bars that you can pick up locally that might come in handy for bartering, etc.
Service and delivery comments:
Fast enough delivery, went with the send 'em a check thing, why pay more than you have to? Be patient and within a couple weeks, you got it. The purchase price is locked in when you first buy it, you just have to send the check in right away to secure it. Comes in a nice little delivery box, if you're so inclined to keep it. I'm not. I'm new to this silver thing, and I like to see it, touch it, and play with it!
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

An eponym is the name of a person, whether real or fictitious, which has (or is thought to have) given rise to the name of a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item. An eponymous person is the person referred to by the eponym. In contemporary English, the term eponymous is often used to mean self-titled, as in "Metallica's eponymous 'black album'". The word eponym is often used for the thing titled. Stigler's law of eponymy suggests that Eponyms are usually false, i.e., things are rarely named after the person who discovered or invented them. An aitiology is a "reverse eponym" in the sense that a legendary character is invented in order to explain a term. Although in actual usage there is some overlap, an eponym may be distinguished from a namesake in that a namesake usually includes a "sake" connection to the source name whereas an eponym name merely is derived from a source name without an additional sake connection.

Company Snapshot
Alejandro currently runs Capital Gain Intelligence, a boutique Investment banking firm acting as an asset manager of Mexican private investors as well as venture capital funds. The company provides services such as asset management, business development, financial consulting and legal advice.
Formerly, Alejandro was the CEO of Ventakit along with his partner Leonardo Shapiro. Recognizing the shortage of credit and debit card terminals in Mexico's business scene, Alejandro and Leonardo developed Ventakit's primary product, Tienda-kit® (Sales Kit), which offered credit/debit transaction terminals via Internet Protocol (IP) technology at a substantially lower cost than the then existing telephone validation systems.
Alejandro graduated with a degree in industrial engineering and obtained an MBA at Stanford University. After Stanford he held a number of prestigious financial positions in the Mexican Government and Nacional Financiera (Nafinsa), Mexico's largest development bank, where he worked on public/private initiatives and promoted small business development in Mexico. After leaving Nafinsa, he joined Ncubo a start-up venture fund, where he met Leonardo. Alejandro began working with Leonardo to develop a business plan for the restaurant portal. During their conversations, the pair touched upon the suppressed "plastic" payment industry in Mexico and began developing ideas to serve this market. With the restaurant portal business failing, Alejandro and Leonardo decided to cut their losses and embark on their new idea – Ventakit.
Tienda-kit® processes credit/debit card transactions using a cheap, "dumb" terminal which connects to a computer with Internet connection to process the transaction. Through this model, they are able to offer the service with no minimum sales requirement or telecom charges. Leonardo and Alejandro convinced the banking sector to become their clients instead of competing with them. They won over clients such as Santander Serfín, the third largest Mexican bank, which agreed to outsource their POS terminal installation and credit card processing to Ventakit. In 2004, the company won Intel's Technology Award.
In 2008, Alejandro and Leonardo sold a majority stake in Ventakit to Verifone (a secure electronic payment technology company); the result is a joint venture between Ventakit and Verifone called Verifone Access. This is a managed service platform that will provide merchants with access to managed services over the Internet, incorporating payment authorization, estate management. front- and back-end services, value-added payment card management, digital product distribution services and comprehensive card issuance and management products.
Endeavor and Capital Gain Intelligence
Endeavor has provided the Entrepreneurs with a high level of services. When the Entrepreneurs sold a majority stake of their company, Endeavor VCs served as advisors on the deal. They have also received legal and operations support, Secretaria de Economia funding, and participated in an Entrepreneur Summit.
Alejandro and Leo speak regularly at universities and in the media on behalf of Endeavor.

Talent management comprises the attraction, retention, engagement, and professional development of our workforce. By cultivating and deploying our employees' skills, we can drive superior performance amidst accelerating growth and competitiveness in the IT marketplace and maximize our retention of high-performing employees. Thus, we offer continuous learning opportunities at every career stage for our individual contributors, managers, and directors, with courses designed to leverage employees' existing strengths while targeting developmental needs.

We focus on finding the right person for the position and see value in having a mix of local and international executives. While local hires understand the regional culture from day one, having employees work in offices around the world allows them to learn about different cultural norms and business practices. This multi-cultural understanding is vital for a global company like Symantec.

Well, I just completed the Hasegawa Jaguar XJ-S. Here's a summary of the build:
The body was (mostly) painted, but was scratched and had spots that were not painted at all. I stripped the body to start over. The kit was incomplete missing the interior tub, rear seats, center console, shifter, firewall, tie rod, spindles, shocks, and one of the braces from the engine compartment. I used sheet and rod styrene to make most of the missing parts, then used clay to shape the rear seats. A added flocking to the interior (hey, it helps hide the ugly clay seats), and I added BMF. Other than that, nothing special was done.
I modeled this after my own 1994 XJ-S. The front turn signals were not tinted on there, but had colored bulbs, so that's why they are not painted in the front. Also, the back tail lights on a 1994 are much different than this one, but I decided to just use the kit taillights as they came instead of fabbing up taillights like mine. The coloring of the car is like mine with the dark charcoal black body and a light tan interior with dark wood inserts on the dash and console. I did deviate on the license plates, however. I just always thought the long license plates fit the lines of this car better than our US plates.
So on to the pics:
This car always looked good from the back in my opinion...
I always liked the looks of the front of this car
A front view of the engine compartment showing the firewall and brace
And the view that I had of the engine compartment:

The Wavestorm is sold at Costco. It's produced in Taiwan and shipped in bulk, with its custom aspects limited to white stripes on a blue deck, or the other way around. Rubber fins, stock leash, pre-installed traction. Easy on the wallet and hard to ding, the board has become the centerpiece of suburban quivers.
At its core, this source of soft-top stoke actually has a lot in common with another recent alternative craft trend. The alaia revolution saw a loss of fins and a return to retro—a rehash of a foregone era. Founded on merits of soul and craftsmanship, alaias were an instant hit within certain circles, despite the obvious hindrance of a surfer's ability.

'The Finder': TJ Thyne talks 'Bones' crossover, 'Little Green Men'Add to Favorites | The Finder
Tonight's episode of "The Finder" (Feb. 23) features a very familiar face: TJ Thyne, also known as Dr. Jack Hodgins from "Bones," stops by his sister show for a very special crossover event.
When Zap2it visited the set of the crossover episode, called "Little Green Men," Thyne told us that he was excited his character was the next person from the "Bones" world to visit Geoff Stults' expert object locator Walter Sherman in Florida.
"I've been bugging [creator] Hart Hanson ever since I heard that 'The Finder' was going to happen to be able to come onto the show," Thyne says.
Hodgins, a known conspiracy theorist, asks for Walter's help in finding a UFO. "Even though he doesn't agree with him, Walter takes Jack seriously. He actually believes that there's something to find and he's willing to go out there. And that's something Booth has never even done."
Ultimately, though Walter doesn't really believe in aliens and Jack definitely does, Thyne says the men come to respect each other. "I believe that in the end of this, Jack is a big fan of Walter. But during it, they're just head to head on these things," he says. "These two characters together, it's really fun. It's a nice mix."
Check out our on-set video for more of Thyne's thoughts on aliens, the crossover and playing the same character on a different show.

A point of view on energy business
If you liked the TV series "Lost", for sure you would enjoy the landing in Malabo, the capital city of Equatorial Guinea. As the aircraft begins to descend you couldn't say if it is gravity or a mysterious magnetic force emerging from the rain-forest what is making the plane go down. The Bioko Island, where Malabo is located, is a volcanic formation of 47 miles long and 20 miles wide with black sand beaches and a 9,800 feet peak almost permanently covered by heavy clouds. But the idyllic sky view of Bioko changes drastically once you get out of the airport. After seeing the Jurassic Park-style infrastructures constructed during the golden years of oil, you would expect more bumping into a Tyrannosaurus Rex than listening to a stalking Black Smoke Monster. Luckily none of them is to be found in Guinea, although there are other serious challenges for its population.
In 1996 the American multinational ExxonMobil began to extract oil near the shore of Guinea. From that moment on, the international community has given credibility to the dictator that illegitimately controls the country ever since his coup d'état in 1979, Teodoro Obiang. Human Rights Watch and EG Justice have repeatedly denounced political torture and ethnical murders in the country. But none of these seems to matter when you own the country rated as the third oil producer of Africa; after Nigeria and Angola.
It was September 2007 when I travelled to Equatorial Guinea. There I had a relative working for the German oilfield services provider Schlumberger. And they were kind enough to let me in their on-shore facilities in Malabo, where they constructed and maintained the equipment for the off-shore oil production. Despite my passion for machines and technology, the only thing I can clearly remember about that day is the Health and Safety talk previous to the visit. We sat inside a construction cabinet deprived of natural light and the HSS Manager began to talk in a very quiet and gently tone. It was like if the Island had its own Dharma Initiative and I were a castaway staring at him and trying to catch the words that would give me the clue to get out of the nightmare. But likewise in the TV show, everything became more and more confusing as he kept talking. << What do you know about Hepatitis? Do you know what Malaria is? I will give you some of those >>, referring to the anti-malaria pills on his right hand. Then he talked about mosquitoes and how dangerous they were. What was it all about? Were mosquitoes indeed the most dangerous thing in that place? And anyway, how was I supposed to have been shipped in a plane from Europe to Africa without having heard about Malaria before? You cannot even enter the continent if you don't have your own pills and vaccination card. But the thing went on and it became even scarier: << Do you know what the word AIDS stands for? Have you ever seen one of those? >>, referring to the condom on his left hand. << Am I really supposed to have sex in here? >> I thought, << Oh these Germans! Always so hospitable, even outside their own country >>. But then I realized what they were trying to do. They were selling me their brand; pretending diseases were the greatest danger in Guinea and not their extraction techniques, which are now told to be responsible for earthquakes, water pollution, and uncontrolled radioactive wastes. So what the heck was I supposed to say when he asked if I had understood? "Namaste" was the only word that came to my mind.
The technique used by Schlumberger and ExxonMobil in Equatorial Guinea is known as hydraulic fracturing or "fracking". Thought they were using it there for oil, it also allows extracting shale gas by pumping previously polluted water underground. Shale gas extraction is believed to be the energetic panacea of the XXI century by some. But the IEA warns that by permitting the costly and environmentally unfriendly shale gas extraction, governments are postponing the only real energy alternative to limited and polluting fossil fuels: Renewables. However, in the US, fracking has lately become a very popular technique which is being massively used, mostly in Pennsylvania. Within the next weeks the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, must decide if fracking will be allowed in his region after being banned with the moratorium of 2008. But a big portion of the society is warning the governor about the irreversible impact that fracking has already inflicted in the zones where it is being used. The wealthy artist and widow of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, leads one of the most famous calls for action: Artists Against Fracking.
The decision of governor Cuomo is seen as a very important one because it will not only affect the public opinion about fracking in the US. New York it is believed to be a possible flagship for the spread of fracking in Europe too. The EU lacks a specific regulation about shale gas extraction, which makes the allowing of hydraulic fracturing even more dangerous. While the European Commission conducts a public consultation about the extraction of unconventional fossil fuels in its territory, some governments take advantage of the loophole and promote the firsts explorations, mainly in the UK, Poland and Spain. Politicians of the last one, being one of the most corrupt countries in the world, are trying to hide this fact to the public opinion. And though the first earthquakes already took place in the southern region of Jaen – with a frequency that reached the number of 42 small earthquakes a day during the last months -, the media does very rarely mention the possible relation between them and the gas companies' activities.
In words of Faith Birol, Chief Economist of the International Energy Agency, State leaders should radically change their policies in order to address climate change. But they seem to be "Lost" in the middle of a mysterious island of lobbies and oil companies. So lost that it is the first time the US and Europe are welcoming a technique so dangerous that only dictators in developing countries dared to allow before. Looking to the strange and unconnected series of events that took place in relation to fracking, the energy sector should be prepared to see the most wired events taking place; like polar bears strolling through the jungle or the Spanish government taking back the premium for renewables that had turned them into the world leader in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), in favour of unconventional fossil fuels.
Governor Cuomo has now the opportunity to make a change. But if he fails, no matter how loud we ask for social and environmental responsibility, the only thing we will hear from our leaders will be "Namaste".

BEIRUT: Where sleek designer jewelry shops now line the halls of Downtown's Beirut Souks, there once stood stalls of goldsmiths, diamond setters and neighborhood merchants who catered to a loyal clientele. Today, Beirut's Jewellery Souks bear little resemblance to its namesake. However, the memories of the old market still live on in the hearts of many Lebanese.
Starting Thursday, a four-day evening exhibition entitled "The Jewellery Souks Golden Years" will feature photographs from the old market, an exhibit of Lebanese outfits dating back to the 17th century and old Lebanese jewelry from the jewelry houses Albert Assi and Co., Aziz and Walid Mouzannar and Tabbah.
The participating jewelers are among those who set up shop decades ago in the old souk and have since relocated around the city.
The exhibition aims at "reviving the golden era of the Jewellery Souks and Beirut Souks and supporting this strategic and historic location that has been recently renovated and redesigned in a modern and special way," according to Solidere.
Tabbah, for example, has been around for more than 150 years and moved its shop to Bab Idriss – now Downtown's Souks – in 1945.
Though Tabbah has since moved from its Bab Idriss location, the company played its part in Beirut's golden age and counted among its clientele members of the Saudi royal family and 1960s European beauty queens. A jewel-encrusted sword by Tabbah even sits at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., a gift from Saudi Arabia to U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Some of the jewelry on display at the exhibition come from private collections. A representative from Albert Assi and Co., located in Ashrafieh's Sofil center, said they would be displaying jewelry pieces from women who have been longtime patrons.
The traditional textiles and women's clothing on display will be supplied by Samia Saab, a local guru on historical garb from the Ottoman era in Lebanon.
For Leon Tatarian, who has been in the jewelry business since 1958, having learned from his father, nothing compares to the spirit of the old souk.
From his shop at the new high-end mall, where he has been for three years, his face lights up as he describes what it was like before the Civil War – a time, he recalls, when people had the money, the comfort and the love of life to buy jewelry without needing a special occasion.
"Twenty people would come from the mountains to get jewelry for a wedding. Today," he says, "the man comes to buy the woman a ring, then leaves."
The merchants at the nearby shops are too young to remember the old souk, but like their older counterparts they have a strong sense of nostalgia for it.
"It was before my time," says Victor Abou Chedid, manager of Azar. "People always say the old Beirut was more beautiful, but I didn't see it. The younger people don't know, but the older generation really sees a difference. My father, who sold jewelry, has refused to come back to the new souk."
Perhaps this week's exhibition will bring back some of the spirit that has been lost to war, lingering political disputes and an ongoing recession.
Jewelry holds a special place in Middle Eastern culture and history, where it has been an important craft for over 4,000 years. In the cities of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, jewelry symbolized wealth and power.
Jewelry also has an archaeological value, for example Egyptian designs in Phoenician jewelry evidence early trade routes.
Regional souks, including centers for gold and jewelry trading, emerged under the Ottoman Khans – often becoming centers for trade and social life. Such was the case in Beirut, until its souk was destroyed during the 15-year Civil War that ended in 1990.
It took nearly 20 years for the Souks to reopen, a 10-year delay to the anticipated opening, due to political instability and disagreements between Lebanon's Syndicate of Goldsmiths and Solidere.
In 2009, the doors to the completely redesigned high-end shopping center opened, featuring such luxury brands as watch and jewelry companies Tag Heuer and Voyageur.
The exhibit is under the patronage of first lady Wafaa Sleiman and is hosted by Solidere.
History of Beirut's souks
Evidence of a thriving commercial center in modern day Downtown Beirut dates back nearly 5,000 years, prior to the time of the Phoenicians. A more detailed record of life in that part of town has been traced since the beginning of the Islamic era in the 8th century A.D.
- 700-1400
At the main entrance to the modern Souks stands a reconstructed mosque, incongruent with the mall beyond it. The entrance pays tribute to two Islamic scholars who settled in what would become a popular shopping center called Souk al-Tawileh: Imam Abed al-Rahman al-Ouzai in the 8th century and Ibn Iraq al-Dimashqi in the 15th century.
- 1800-1943
In the modern era, a sophisticated shopping center took shape in Downtown. A move toward Westernization started during the late Ottoman period, which began Beirut's transformation to its, now cliche, mid-20th century title: the Paris of the Middle East. The area also flourished during the time of the French Mandate from 1920-43, due to a push for construction and development.
- 1943-1975
Souk al-Tawileh attracted a cosmopolitan mix of shoppers to its clothing boutiques, perfumeries and luxury product stores. Souk Ayass housed a beloved shop selling sweets and juices named Intabli Fountain. It and a restaurant on the corner of Souk Ayass and Trablos Street, called Al-Ajami, also brought in heavy foot traffic. Lebanon's Civil War put a halt to all business Downtown, and after 15 years left the Old Souks in rubble.
- 2010-today
Solidere rebuilt a shopping center where the Old Souks used to stand. In the famous Souk al-Tawileh, local shops of the pre-Civil War era have been replaced by international brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Carolina Herrera and Massimo Dutti. In Souk Ayass, a square carries the name of the old Intabli sweets shop, and at the end of the Souk intersecting with Trablos Street, a new cafe stand instead of Al-Ajami.

Every Tuesday, UK Athletics recognizes outstanding performances for our student-athletes. These are the honorees for the week ending Sunday, Oct. 14:
Women's soccer: Arin Gilliland
Sophomore Arin Gilliland scored the game-winning goal Sunday in a 1-0 win on the road at Georgia while also collecting the assist on the game-winning goal to Kelli Hubly in a 1-0 win at Tennessee as UK completed the weekend sweep. The Lexinton, Ky., native now leads Kentucky with 15 points on the season, striking for five goals and five assists. The game-winning goal by Gilliand was her second on the season.
Volleyball: Christine Hartmann
Senior Christine Hartmann directed the UK offense to a pair of sweeps of SEC Western Division foes including handing Texas A&M just its second loss of the season in league action. Against the Aggies, Hartmann led the Blue and White to a .351 hitting percentage which is the highest percentage yielded by Texas A&M this season. The Aggies lead the league in opponent hitting percentage allowing .143 for the season and .159 against league foes - and that's following yesterday's match. The previous best hitting clip allowed by A&M was a .229 clip, also to Kentucky. Hartmann dished out 39 assists and led UK to 14 or more kills in all three sets including 18 in the second set and 17 in the set-clinching win. UK hit above .400 for a stanza twice in the match. Furthermore, the 39 assists for a three-set match is a season-best for the senior. Hartmann's defensive prowess guided the Wildcats to a win over visiting Mississippi State. Hartmann had a squad-best eight digs and as well as a team-high three blocks to lead the way against the Bulldogs.
Rifle: Emily Holsopple
Junior Emily Holsopple led Kentucky in air rifle during the first match of the year, posting a 592 Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. To go along with her 592 in air rifle, Holsopple posted a 587 in smallbore to record an aggregate score of 1179. Holsopple's 592 came from steady shooting throughout and was just above her 2011-12 air rifle season average of 591.9.
Women's soccer: Kelli Hubly
Freshman Kelli Hubly added to her team lead, scoring her fifth goal of the season in Knoxville, Tenn., as UK charted a 1-0 win over Tennessee. The tally was the game's only goal, and was struck in the 70th minute. The game-winner was Hubly's second of the season and now stands second on the team with 12 points.
Rifle: Henri Junghänel
Senior Henri Junghänel opened the 2012-13 campaign with a bang, shooting a 590 in smallbore against Nebraska. Junghänel's 590 marks the highest smallbore score for a Wildcat since Ethan Settlemires shot a 590 in the 2011 NCAA Championships and goes down as a personal best. Junghänel led the team with a total aggregate score of 1181, after shooting a 591 in air rifle. Junghänel's performance helped the preseason No. 2 Wildcats knock off No. 4 Nebraska, moving the Wildcats to 1-0 with the conference win.
Women's soccer: Kayla King
Junior Kayla King had her best weekend in the Blue and White, recording back-to-back, 90-minute shutouts on the road at Tennessee and Georgia. The Louisville, Ky., native had a career high 10 saves on Sunday in Athens and kept a clean sheet vs. Tennessee on Friday night as the Wildcats picked up a crucial six points. King fended off 36 shots over the two games and dropped her GAA to 0.81 on the season. The back-to-back shutouts was a career first for King, as she had recorded one prior in her career entering the weekend.
Men's soccer: Matt Lodge
Senior midfielder Matt Lodge connected on his first career penalty kick goal as the game-winning tally in leading UK to a 2-1 comeback win at No. 25 UAB on Saturday ... Lodge finished the penalty after freshman forward Caleb Richardson forced the attempt by drawing a foul on a run in the box ... The win for UK was its first over UAB since the 2008 season and marked UK's first comeback win of the year ... A native of Rossington, England, Lodge has six goals in 2012 and owns 23 in his sparkling four-year career ... He ranks tied for fourth in UK career history in goals and sixth in points (61) ... With his eighth career game-winning goal - and his second in 2012 - Lodge ranks tied fourth in program history ... In the win at UAB, Lodge fired a club-best three shots and now has a school-record 177 in his career.
Men's golf: Chase Parker
Chase Parker recorded his best finish of the year thus far, finishing in a tie for sixth individually at the Jack Nicklaus Invitational, Oct. 8-9. The Augusta, Ga., native fired a 3-over-par, 75 in round one before concluding the 36-hole stroke-play tournament with a 2-over-par, 74 in the second round. Parker was 5-over for the event and helped lead the Wildcats to a fourth place finish against a competitive 11-team field.
Volleyball: Sara Schwarzwalder
Freshman Sara Schwarzwalder returned to the lineup this week and provided a spark for the Wildcats en route to a 2-0 weekend. Schwarzwalder was magnificent in helping lead UK past Texas A&M for the second time this season. The freshman logged seven kills on a .667 hitting percentage. Both the kill total as well as the hitting percentage are career-bests for the Ohio native within SEC play. She also pitched in with a career-high two digs in the victory. Her three blocks against Mississippi State ranked as a team-best in leading UK to a win over the Bulldogs in Rupp Arena.
Men's soccer: Jack Van Arsdale
Junior goalkeeper Jack Van Arsdale saved five shots in a stellar performance to lead UK to a win at No. 25 UAB on Saturday night ... Van Arsdale charted five saves, including several leaping, diving and fully extended efforts to thwart scoring chances for the physical Blazers ... On the year Van Arsdale has a 1.39 goals-against average in 11 games and 970 minutes, saving 32 shots with two shutouts ... The native of Richmond, Va., has now shined in UK's two wins over top-25 foes on the road in 2012, also posting a six-save performance in a 1-0 win at No. 18 Louisville on Sept. 14 ... Van Arsdale has now started eight consecutive games in goal for UK, sporting a 1.34 goals-against average in those games, with UK owning a 5-2-1 record.

Human Foot and Leg
Many deities in the official Egyptian pantheon can be recognized by their headdresses. The Double Crown of the beneficent goddess Mut, whose name means "mother," characterizes her as a conveyor of kingship and the divine mother of pharaoh. Amun, whose name means "hidden," is portrayed as a man wearing a tall, plumed crown. When he appears with a solar disk at the base of the crown, he is known as Amun-Re, who possesses both hidden and solar creative powers. When shown in tightly enveloping garb and with an erection, he may be called Amun-Re-Kamutef, associated with fertility and regeneration. An amulet in this virile attitude would have held the promise of eternal rebirth after death. Monthly rebirth is also invoked by the full and crescent moons of Khonsu, the divine heir of Amun and Mut.
In popular religion the protection of pregnancy and birth was entrusted to such deities as Taweret and Bes. The appearance of Taweret, "The Great One," as a pregnant hippopotamus with lion and crocodile features is a dramatic symbol of protective motherhood. The dwarf with a lion's face and legs likely represents Bes, who was worshipped in the home as a protector of motherhood, birth, and rebirth.

In this workbook you will
find a process—an industry standard—proven to assess whether or not your book

market. By using this tool, you
can create a successful book—one that sells to readers and to
authors sit down and write their book without really knowing what it's about or
if it's a viable idea or one that can succeed. Success in the publishing world
means the book will sell. It's a huge waste of time and energy to go to all the
trouble of writing a full manuscript if you don't know if anyone will buy your
book once it is published.
Everyone―even those writers planning on self-publishing their books―should go
through the "nonfiction book proposal process" inlcuded in this workbook. It
provides a wonderful assessment tool that helps you figure out if the book you want
to write is viable, or salable. Using this workbook, you will look at your idea

What is an Author's Platform and How Do You Build
Every author needs a platform--a built-in readership. You
need one to sell your books, ebooks and other products and services. You need
one if you want to land a contract from a publishing company; they expect you
to have readers ready and waiting to purchase your book. Thus, you must build
this platform long before you decide to release a book. You need to do this
prior to releasing any other printed product as well.
How do you build this coveted platform? With newsletters,
blogs, social networking, websites, ezine articles, and spoken
words. This special report will teach you the basics of how to put
all these "rocks" together to create a strong platform upon which you as an
author can stand. It's filled with tips and tools you can implement
immediately, including:

Using the Internet to
Build Your PLATFORM One Article at a Time
Today, most book publishers require that nonfiction writers take on most of the
promotional and marketing duties necessary to sell their books. However, to
accomplish this job, nonfiction writers have to begin promoting and marketing their
books long before they hold the bound tome in their hands. They have to begin
building what the industry calls a "platform," a base of potential readers that
know them as an expert in their field or on their subject from their speaking,
writing and presence on the radio, television and Internet. (Actually, fiction
writers need a platform as well.)
Expert platforms consist of:
For nonfiction and fiction writers alike, writing loads of articles for
specialty and mass-market magazines and newspapers and for e-zines provides an
infinitely-easier method of platform building than any of the others. While
publishing articles in traditional print publications is advisable and encouraged,
and magazines and newspapers carry a lot of clout, when it comes to platform
building, the easiest way to start building your platform involves writing and
publishing articles for on-line publications. As these articles are published, you
will begin to achieve expert status. You will find yourself also asked to speak for
organizations and at events, to be interviewed by podcasters, and to appear on
radio and television shows. As a result, you will end up with a platform large
enough to please any publisher large or small. Add to that a great book idea and
some great writing skills, and you'll soon have a published book. (If you're a
self-published author, your platform will help you get readers buying your

The developers at Lab Zero Games have opened a Skullgirls DLC fundraising page over on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, with the sole purpose of using the money to release DLC characters for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC fighting game.
The target goal is $150,000 with 30 days left before it closes. The page has so far raised $191,175.
Not only does the campaign page feature a breakdown on one the upcoming characters (the undead opera singer Squigly), but also a list of stretch goals if the campaign's target reaches beyond its goal. These include potential new DLC characters like Big Band and B.Dahlia, and new stages and story mode missions based on the DLC characters.
The perks for contributing varies: $5 will net gamers exclusive Skullgirls wallpapers while $400 will net contributors a limited edition of the game's soundtrack, a random postcard-sized sketch, a "booster" title in the contributors credits, a Steam code for the PC release, and other benefits.
Squigly will be available for free for a limited time if the campaign is fully funded. For even more information, check out the Indiegogo page.
Skullgirls was praised by critics for its fighting system, distinctive characters, beginner-friendly tutorials and GGPO network options.

Cape Town City Bowl Market a must for foodies
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.

The Mother City is known for her fresh and organic food markets and the new City Bowl Market on Hope makes for a wonderful addition to the extensive list.
Held each Saturday in a gorgeous old building on 14 Hope Street in the peaceful suburb of Gardens, the market is a delicious showcase of some of the best fresh produce, flowers and homemade delicacies in town.
Spend the day meandering between stalls laden with tasty goodies like oysters, champagne, crepes, sushi, croissants and more. From creamy cheeses and flavoursome curries to sweet, homemade chocolate, you'll find it all at the City Bowl Market.
Another selling point is the low prices for veggies (tomatoes and potatoes for as little as R5!) and if you're feeling a bit parched, there is a lovely bar upstairs where you can quench your thirst.
Traders include nut and dried fruit connoisseur By Nature, authentic Indian purveyor 25 Rupees, Saszali Chocolates and boutique caterer Sweetie Pie, who were all handpicked to trade at the market.
Shopping or browsing here is also a wonderful opportunity for quality family time as there is plenty to keep the little ones entertained from the huge garden to the jungle gym.
Be sure to take a peek at the jewellery on display too like the beautiful designs of Spirit Jewellery – you're sure to find something sparkly that you'll love.
The City Bowl Market on Hope is held each Saturday. For more info please visit www.citybowlmarket.co.za.

Brett Hodgson (born 12 February 1978 in Liverpool, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league player currently contracted to the Wests Tigers in the NRL. He has played for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League competition. Hodgson plays at fullback and has represented at state level for New South Wales Origin.
He will join the Huddersfield Giants in the European Super League from the 2009 season.
In 2008, Hodgson was the last remaining pre-2000 Western Suburbs Magpies' footballer still playing in the NRL.
In 1999, Hodgson turned down a position with the new Wests and Balmain Tigers joint venture club, Wests Tigers, and, to obtain a fullback position, he signed with Parramatta for the 2000 season. Hodgson's 2000 season was cut short following a high tackle from Cronulla's Mitch Healey, breaking his jaw.
The 2001 season was a successful one for Hodgson and Parramatta. Hodgson was selected for City Origin and the club made it to the grand final. Described as a "lethal, attacking full-back", Hodgson scored two tries in Parramatta's loss to Newcastle in the 2001 grand final. In 2003, Hodgson's final year at Parramatta was cut short in round 16 with a rib injury.
Hodgson returned to Campbelltown when he signed with Wests Tigers in 2004. Hodgson's successful 2005 season resulted in the Dally M Fullback of the Year and the NRL competition's leading pointscorer with 308 points.
On 23 July, 2006, midway through the first half of the clash between Wests Tigers and his former club, Parramatta Eels, Hodgson sustained medial and cruciate ligament injuries and was sidelined for the remainder of the season.
In Round 12, 2007, Hodgson fractured his cheekbone in the match against Parramatta. After surgery to repair the fracture, Hodgson was sidelined for seven rounds and returned in Round 20 for his 200th first-grade game, a resounding win against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Salary cap restraints at the Wests Tigers forced Hodgson to look elsewhere for a contract for the 2009 season. He played his last game for the Wests Tigers on 7 September 2008 and although the club failed to make the top eight, they did send Hodgson out with a win against the Gold Coast Titans, 28–12. Hodgson was named Man of the Match. At the club's end of season awards, Hodgson was voted the Members' Player of the Year for 2008.
Hodgson signed a two year deal to play in the UK for the Huddersfield Giants commencing in 2009.

Valentine Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins
Activity DesignerJulie Kirkwood
73 Projects
Valentine treats don't have to be all about candy. Here are some healthier treats with a bit of chocolate and an easy trick to shape these muffins into hearts for your sweeties.
What You'll Need
- mashed bananas (1 1/4 cups)
- water (5/8 cup)
- baking soda (1 tsp.)
- salt (1/2 tsp.)
- baking powder (1/4 tsp.)
- flour (1 3/4 cups)
- chopped nuts (1/4 cup, optional)
- chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
- paper muffin liners
How We Did It
Line your muffin tin with the paper liners. Rip or cut tin foil into aproximately 4x4 inch squares. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Insert a ball of foil into the side of each muffin cup, between the paper liner and the pan, to create a heart shape.
Mash the bananas. This is almost as much fun as the tinfoil. Cream together butter and sugar, then blend in eggs. Add bananas, water, soda, salt and baking powder to blend. Add flour.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. I let the muffins cool in the pans for about 10 minutes to keep their shape.
Comments2 comments
You can also use marbles instead of the foil balls. Kids will love to re-purpose their own marbles.

This looks fun and easy--cant wait to try it! Love the heart-shaped muffin idea, which could obviously be used with virtually any type of muffin recipe, even ones with out choc chips. :-)

10 May 2010 Posted by Simon Henderson, Corporate Responsibility
This is a question that, as a company that focuses on online reporting, we get asked a lot. And so I thought I would tackle it in my blog.
One answer is, 'there's no such thing as our entire CR report'. Because we have integrated our CR performance reporting in our website, much of the detail that a standard printed report might provide (such as how our business is structured), we rely on existing web content to provide. We index our report against GRI (which we will publish later this week) and much of the content GRI requires is found in our Annual Report or elsewhere on our website. People are much more web-savvy these days and we don't think it is unreasonable to send them to pages outside the responsibility section if they are interested in finding out more about the business generally. It also means that we can simplify the navigation and ensures that we do not duplicate pages.
But that's not the only reason.
The advantages of web-based reporting are that we can provide much more information than would be user-friendly in a printed document. If we decided to print a 'full' report, it would actually be much shorter and less detailed than the information provided on the web because there are very few people that would find 60,000 words on Centrica's CR performance useful, engaging and fulfilling. The point of presenting the information online is that people can pick and choose, following paths that interest them rather than having to deal with a large and unwieldy document.
We do provide downloads though. You can get a 21-page CR overview, which tells the whole story without detailed explanations of each key initiative. You can download a snapshot report, which is a leaflet that we use for events and meetings. Or you can get in-depth information about each of our key impact areas by downloading a 'section' PDF. These include the overview and performance sections with data as well, also provided as excel downloads. If you are a real glutton for punishment, you can download all the section PDFs, the stakeholder dialogue PDF and the introduction and approach PDF, which will give you the majority of the information on the website. But it won't include our case studies and some of the detail behind the data because this is something we wouldn't provide in a printed document to the extent that we can and do on the web.
You will also find that the information doesn't work quite so well in printed format. That's because our starting point is online and we work on the content with a web based framework in mind. And our new charting tool enables users to drill down into the detail behind the information we provide in a way that wouldn't be user-friendly in print.
I hope this helps to explain our thinking with the reporting. If you disagree or think the information should be provided in a different way, do let me know. We are always willing to try new things.

What do you do for a 15 Year Anniversary?
It's hard to believe that nearly fifteen years have passed since I penned The Complete Guide to Associate and Affiliate Programs for McGraw-Hill. A lot of water's flowed under the bridge and plenty of cash has burned its way through my pockets since 1999. I tripped into affiliate marketing by chance, and I was lucky to step in it. Not a day goes by without feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunities that have thrown themselves at my feet.
When I was in the midst of research for the book, back in the day, I foresaw it as something that might get revised on a regular basis. Alas, that never happened. The book's never gone out of print and the rights have never reverted. I still see a royalty check on occasion.
I've been looking for the right followup for the longest time, and I think I've (once again) stumbled into it. After spending the last six years looking through the lens of a video camera, I now see things as a blur of moving pictures. Words, of course, are always at the heart of it. But it's the scenes that present themselves that have captured my thoughts.

Adelaide Build Quest, refractory advice
Hi All,
New to the forum, decided to post. Just finished building a new house and decided to install an outdoor BBQ/ kitchen area. I'll post my progress as I go, but for now I'm researching and collecting materials.
This is the second oven I'm making, the first was based off russell jervous book and a few other ideas.. So it was made with 'pressed reds' for dome and base with vermiculite cement insulation and render dome. It turned out well and has been utilized well, only problem was the insulation has cracked :(, but this doesn't affect the performance.
Anyway this time round I intend to rectify my errors and try to mitigate against the cracks. Watched all the vid's on YouTube, read the forums and have decided to spend a bit of extra $ and build with recommended materials, and hope for the best
So, this is what I'm planning, any suggestions or advise is welcome.
1100 internal dome, but this time have decided to use firebrick for base and dome. Two or three layers of Ceramic blanket and chicken wire then layer of vermiculite and cement, more chicken wire then two coats of render and wire finished off with waterproof sealant as the oven will be exposed to the elements.
I've posted another thread looking for suppliers and have now found what I'm looking for. So went to Morgan Thermal Ceramics at Beverly and found they have just about everything refractory. They got bricks for $4.40ea and also the 50mm floor tiles for about $15 each.their blankets they call superwool.
Not sure whether to use the bricks or the 50mm floor tile for the base?
They also sell the subfloor insulation, but they've got stuff called V1100 which is a vermiculite product (25mm thick) not the other FB? stuff others tend to recommend. Any suggestions?
The other thing is the mortar. I can get the 'poor mans mortar' or Thermal Ceramics also sell 20kg drum of 'Blackite mortar' for $60. I haven't heard of the stuff before but would be happy to use it if anyone knows anything about it and if it's suitable. This stuff comes wet, so no mixing just scoop it out and use it.
I want to keep the mortar to a minimum on this build.
For the waterproof layer, was thinking of using this stuff called 'emer-clad waterproof membrane, which I see another Pompeii builder used on YouTube
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Rob..:)
Re: Adelaide Build Quest, refractory advice
Hi Rob,
Have a look at this link for a dome calculator, should minimise mortar.
I also posted some suppliers to your other post.
Re: Adelaide Build Quest, refractory advice
Re: Adelaide Build Quest, refractory advice
thanks for the tip. That's what i was afraid of. 50mm just seems a bit thin for the base, and I don't want to run the increased risk of damage to the floor.
Last oven I built had 1000 internal and is a good size, but when we're cooking for the entire family might as well be a restaurant, can be upwards of 20 people sometimes.
I just figure that by the time you've got a fire, and a pizza in there, that little bit extra room goes a long way.. Chuck in a roast on the side or whatever
Thanks for that link Craig, and yes I got your other post. Appreciate your help

Rob, you can build that close to your property line? If so, that is awesome, I have to throw 5 ft away, unless it's a plant.
Re: Adelaide Build Quest, refractory advice
go with the poor mans mortar as it is the best, cheapest, very easy to work and doesn't crack like some of those refractory mortars.
You are welcome to come and check my 40" Pompeii built in 07 and no cracks (except in the final render coating).
Why do you need to chicken wire between your vermiculite insulation layer and your final render layer?
I got all of my materials from Thermal Ceramics, Beverley and all works well. Only firebricks were from the old Adelaide abattoir boiler at $1 each

Despite Western Maryland's 38-17 loss at Gettysburg on Saturday, there was reason to be optimistic about the potential of Tim Keating's pro-style offense led by sophomore quarterback Brian Van Deusen.
The Atholton graduate threw the ball 52 times, completing 29 (both school and Centennial Conference records) for 337 yards.
Five turnovers (three interceptions and two fumbles) doomed th Green Terrors, but mistakes will come early on as the offense adjusts to the new system.
