Blaine's next stunt was called "Vertigo." On 22 May 2002, Blaine performed the stunt in Bryant Park, New York City, where a crane lifted him onto a 105 ft (27 m) high and 22 in (55.88 cm) wide pillar. He remained on the pillar for exactly 35 hours. With his legs weak from standing atop the pillar for so long, he ended the feat by jumping down onto a landing platform made out of a 12 foot (3.7 m) high pile of cardboard boxes and suffered a concussion.

On September 5, 2003, Blaine began his 44-day endurance stunt sealed inside a transparent Plexiglas case suspended 30 feet (9 m) in the air next to Potters Fields Park on the south bank of the River Thames in London. The case, measuring 3ft by 3ft by 7ft (0.9 x 0.9 x 2.1 m), had a webcam installed so that viewers could observe his progress. Blaine claimed he went 44 days without any food or nutrients and just 4.5 litres of water per day. However, this was not verified and the water he was given was never inspected for added nutrients. The New England Journal of Medicine published a paper that documented his 44 day fast and stated that his re-feeding was perhaps the most dangerous part of the stunt.

Main Article: Drowned Alive
On May 1, 2006, Blaine was submerged in an 8 feet (2.4 m) diameter, water-filled sphere (isotonic saline, 0.9% salt) in front of the Lincoln Center in New York City for a planned seven days and seven nights, using tubes for air and nutrition. He concluded this event by attempting to hold his breath underwater to break the world record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. Blaine also tried to free himself from handcuffs and chains put on him upon coming out after the week in the sphere. He seemed to have trouble escaping from the last of the handcuffs. Blaine failed in his attempt, holding his breath for 7 minutes and 33 seconds before showing signs of distress and being pulled up by the support divers. Blaine did claim to have succeeded in setting a record for being fully submerged in water for more than seven days straight (177 hours). Blaine underwent multiple short hospital visits after the stunt ended and has entered an agreement with doctors from Yale University to monitor him in order to study the human physiological reaction to prolonged submersion. During the stunt, doctors witnessed skin breakdown at the hands and feet, and liver failure.

Kropp: T.O. trio still can leave its mark on the postseason
A disappointing playoff defeat by the narrowest of margins at least did not end the season for the Thousand Oaks High boys' tennis team.
A 9-9 (69-66 in games) loss to Santa Barbara in the CIF-Southern Section Division I quarterfinals last week knocked the Lancers out of any chance to capture a team champ-ionship in 2008. But the CIF Individual championships have reached the round of 16 and Thousand Oaks' top three players are very much in the thick of things.
The 16 best high school singles players and 16 doubles teams in Southern California will converge at the Seal Beach Tennis Center on Friday and Saturday for the last four rounds of the Individuals. Several area singles players and doubles teams will be there, among them Kyle McMorrow of Thousand Oaks in singles. Denis Lin and Marcos Giron, standouts all season in singles for Thousand Oaks, have advanced quite comfortably in the doubles.
The Thousand Oaks trio will be joined in Seal Beach by Agoura High's Darren Dahl and Daniel Kane, who also have been extremely impressive through the first three rounds of doubles. In singles, Daniel Moss of Malibu earned his place by beating Oxnard High's Sasha Hedberg in the regional at Carpinteria.
For McMorrow, this weekend will be a chance to solidify his status as one of the nation's top juniors. McMorrow, the CIF champion at last month's Ojai tournament, has achieved a No. 5 ranking in the nation in boys' 18s. He also teamed with Lin to win the 18s doubles title at the Easter Bowl. Incidentally, Lin is ranked No. 14 in the nation in 18s singles.
Just as he did with McMorrow, Lin is showing his vast skills in doubles with Giron, who at age 14 has achieved a No. 49 singles ranking in the nation in the boys' 16s. After a first-round bye in the regionals last Friday, Lin and Giron lost only four games combined their next two matches.
Thousand Oaks coach Dave Assorson expects his players will be eager to play their best.
"Kyle is going to be tough to beat," Assorson said. "He is very focused and has the ability to change his game plan if things aren't working. But at this level, there are lot of good players like (Corona Del Mar's) Fabian Matthews and if they have a hot day, they can win.
"In the doubles, Denis and Marcos are going to be a hard team to beat. It's going to be fun."
One of the quirky aspects of the CIF Individuals is information on the draws is kept fairly quiet. During the regionals, the draws were not released until the morning of the first matches. For Friday's round-of-16 matches, it will be the same.
According to Darren Potkey of the SCTA, four seeds will be selected out of the remaining 16 players (and doubles teams) and the remaining 12 players/teams will fill out the draw.
The CIF Individuals are different from regular-season matches in that players are playing best two-out-of-three matches, unlike the regular season in where players rotate by playing one set against three opponents.
The remainder of the field for the CIF Individuals include some outstanding players. A brief look at a few of them:
n Moss, Malibu: Quarterfinalist at The Ojai (CIF). Will play at Pepperdine next year.
n Matthews, Corona Del Mar: One of the top players in Southern California. Will play at UC Irvine next season. Beat McMorrow 6-4 in T.O.'s round-of-16 team match on May 10.
n Walker Kehrer, Brentwood: Semifinalist at The Ojai (CIF). Most improved player in 2006 as voted by the SCTA. Solid all-court player.
n Clay Thompson, Crossroads: Ranked No. 3 in the nation in 16s singles. Finalist in the 16s at the Easter Bowl.
n Andre Dome, Arroyo Grande: Baseliner with a strong game. Ranked No. 31 in the nation in boys' 18. Will play at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo next year.
Passing shots: Thacher has been one of the top teams in Ventura County all season and the Toads earned a chance to play for the Division V championship by beating Segerstrom 10-8 in the semifinals on Tuesday. Thacher, led by singles player McCoy Becker, was the Division V runner-up last year. ... The French Open, the season's second Grand Slam event on the ATP and WTA tours, begins on Sunday. On the men's side, three-time champion Rafael Nadal is obviously the player to beat. This is a big tournament for Sam Querrey. The second-year pro from Thousand Oaks is ranked No. 41 and a good showing in Paris (third or fourth round) could possibly lift his ranking into the low 30s, which means he could be a seeded player at Wimbledon. Being a seeded player at a major is a reachable next goal for Querrey ... On the women's side, the absence of Justine Henin, who retired last week, leaves no clear-cut favorite. ... Lin and McMorrow have been named to the SCTA Maze Cup team, the SCTA's annual competition with Northern California. The event will take place June 6-8 at Alpine Hills Tennis & Swimming Club in Portola Valley. ... LSU's Mykala Hedberg (Oxnard High) and partner Megan Falcon are competing in the doubles portion of the NCAA Tournament at Tulsa, Okla., and will face the tournament's No. 4 seed, Clemson's Ani Mijacika and Carol Salge, in a round-of-32 match today. ... Stefan Edberg, a two-time Wimbledon champion, will return to competitive tennis for the first time in 12 years by playing two matches on the seniors tour. Edberg, 42, has declined to play seniors events in the past, but changed his mind when Pete Sampras announced he would play two events this year. ... Former top-25 player Taylor Dent headlines the main draw at the 2008 Countrywide Classic USTA Men's Challenger at Carson. The qualifying draw begins Saturday and the main draw begins play on Monday.

B.A. Level: Business • Government • Human Services • Law Enforcement • Graduate Level: • Business Administration • Education • Law • Social Work
Like many students, you may find it difficult to select a single discipline for a major. Therefore, a major in social science may suit you best. You will be part of an interdisciplinary program, which examines society's institutions —their structures, theoretical foundations, evaluation, and interrelation—and how they affect and are affected by human behavior. The courses in the Social Science department are offered to both day and evening students
This is a group major of 36 credit hours to include the following:
Only grades of C- or better in all Social Science core courses and concentration courses can be applied to fulfill the major requirements.
The Social Science minor requires 24 credit hours, including Social Science Core Course Requirements, and additional course work in the social sciences to total 24 hours.
Graduates of social science find many and diverse career opportunities. Social science graduates have been in demand for jobs in human services, law enforcement, government, and business. Many social science graduates have gone on to further studies in social work, law, education, and business administration.

When you run into this problem, where you can't do a DE alone, do you pop a message in /map chat, or just move on? For champ mobs in mid-level areas I do see message in chat.
Sometimes someone will just run up and join you, if they were close enough to see the marker on the map.
But I like your ideas. Some may not be easy to implement depending on the details of ANet's server code, some would require some time from the content team.

Unless they have regular events in which high and low levels can participate on regular basis this won't do much for low level players. Even now i have noticed that a lot of high level players go to low level zones to complete the map and get out of there asap.

I don't really think it's a slippery slope argument...just about any MMORPG will prove that what I describe will happen.
Log on to any themepark MMORPG that is older, but does not have some kind of solution to mitigate this (WoW), and walk around the mid-levelish areas of the world. Chances are, they will be fairly empty. And they will get even more empty as "stuff" is added to the game.
More zones? Each zone will be populated less.
More sPvP, WvW content, dungeons, mini-games, etc.? Less players in the open world.
So I don't really see the slippery slope here...increase the size of the world, don't increase the amount of players...lower population density results. Pretty logical.
Also, why would you not want something like this? Even if what I describe never happens (unlikely), a solution like reverse overflow or zone highlighting will still help off-peak players who have to deal with relatively empty zones all the time just because of when they play.

ArenaNet is not SWTOr, not WoW , its not any failed game released in the last 5 years, it is ArenaNet, they are the best in the world at that point.

My point isn't that there aren't going to be lots of people playing in a few years time, my point is that those people will very likely be concentrated in a few select areas, leaving a large amount of the world relatively empty.
Also, did you imply that WoW is a failed game ;)? If anything, WoW has more people playing it after such a long time, then any MMORPG, ever. If WoW wound up with barren zones, then it should DEFINITELY be a concern for GW2.

I haven't yet experienced Creslin's "issue" either, but like him I acknowledge that it one day could become an issue. Hence the proposed solutions. As for now, I continue to be pleasantly surprised with how I seem to run into other players in the most obscure locations in the far corners of Tyria absolutely huge maps. I think part of that can simply be attributed to how map completion and DEs that spawn guide players to specific locations.
That said, part of my concern actually stems from the potential reverse problem: that too many players in one area make many events not fun. This is entirely subjective. I know many players love running around with the zerg, not for the challenge but for the sense of camaraderie. I'm not one of those players. When too many players congregate together in GW2 (like in the halloween events) or any other MMO, gameplay and combat tends to get reduced to the bare basics and becomes extremely boring. There seems to be a "sweetspot" player requirement for most DEs, where you can still get both the MMO community feel and also a small challenge. I've found this number to be between 2 and 5 for me.

despite what i said, i gotta say, it's a pretty damned awesome feeling when u start an event chain with 2-3 people then see it build up overtime and end up with a crapload of people by the end of the chain.

Not only that, I think the effect snowballs in the worst possible way. The more the low level zones become deserted, the more new players are put off the game by it feeling dead, during a huge chunk of their initial experience. Many of them will quit, before playing into higher levels.
Too many MMOs seem to abandon hope of new players existing at all, but if you look at sales figures, most of them do get at least a constant trickle.
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.

It is an old problem, the standard since Everquest is to expand a game at the end level. This makes some sense as your existing customers will be located at the end level. But as the OP points out, it leaves players still levelling up with a LONGER journey that will have fewer other players in it.
EQ2 solved it by allowing high level players to downscale to your level and then pull you along. GW2 does a similar thing of course with its level adjustment per area.
BUT it ain't perfect. Apart from the fact that equipment and available skills still tells and a downscaled lvl 80 -> 10 is far more powerful then a level 10, the level 80 will also be doing stuff he has already done, a dozen times for no gains. He will therefor tend to be in a rush.
This leads new players to feel that all the game is about rushing towards the end, it is the reason so many do this, because that is how they been trained. Come join us at the end game, we got cookies!
World of Warcraft pushed this even further, apperently allowing you to skip straight to the end.
But this would be as if a real world themepark, everytime it launched a new attraction, levelled the entire rest of the park to build a que straight to the one new attraction.
The OP suggests forcing players back but the Halloween event showed how this doesn't really work. I saw the door trains, a whole herd zerging between door spawns, causing a mess for any normal player in the area and totally ignoring any content or players. They were playing in the same area but you might as well consider bots company. It didn't help any low level player in finding enough others to tackle a champ.
And on the occasions a dozen lvl 80's decide to crash a lvl 20 event, the real lvl 20 players find they do anything because enemies are one shotted with AoE attacks.
Yes, games are in trouble when they concentrate players at the end game... so far the only answer is to rush new players to the same end content and then the game slowly dies because end game content is soon exhausted, especially when you never got attached to the game.
The solution? If I knew it, I would be designing MMO's, not posting on a silly forum.

My first worry of the games release was performance.
Once I felt ok with that and had those I play with upgraded to quad cores, as I recommend that pretty much a must have if you want reliable smooth play.
I then had the concern about enough pop to run events and not feel barren as time goes on, because all mmo's have had this issue to date, all of them.
My server is just hanging in right now, usually we get a 2-4 extras in the DE's as we level into the 20's. Sure we can do it with our little team, well most of it. But it is simply a better game getting randoms coming together to run the event, that is to me the Magic of GW 2 PvE.
I wanted to say that those really propping the game up at release didn't think this was going to be an issue, let alone one that happened in Oct. I wasn't planning on buying until late Nov at the earliest, but was able to get in sooner. I'm glad I didn't wait longer, to me just going by experience, this doesn't get better it gets thinner yet.
So yes I am all for bunching server zones together. I'm not asking for a complete zerg face roll, but DE's just solo or with a few to me losses a lot of what could make DE's great. The game to me has to have some type of zone population control to keep it chugging well.

I don't know for sure. It's getting hard to compare apples to oranges with new games vs old games, not to mention the warped expectations of players these days.
World of Warcraft had quite a bit of content out of the box, and continued getting new additions every few months in the form of dungeons and raids. Even further back, you have games like EQ1 and DAoC which were bursting with content, and EQ1 particularly had tons of expansions.
The problem today is that in a world of publicized betas, WoWhead's and ElitistJerks, where new content is mastered before it's even released to the public, and where detailed guides and information are a google search away, there is no way for a game company to create enough content to satisfy people anymore. We consume it too fast, and too efficiently.
The Secret World is a great example. Try doing an investigation mission where you have to look stuff up in the browser, like a composer's name or something. The difficulty is in trying to ignore the 90%+ search results linking to game guides. It's annoying.
Even despite that, it's a more content-rich experience with a properly supported sub game because the dev's have a better understanding of how much financial resource they have to put towards new content. You know how many subs you have, and you know how much income you're getting. It's why even cash shop games offer sub options, because they are optimal for the developers compared to the feast or famine that comes with predicting cash shop purchases.
Look at LotRO as an example for that. They've had content updates since going F2P, but they constantly have to revise things like release dates or drop/postpone features that were originally planned. Shareholders are happy, but dev's have a hard time with project management when the income isn't predictable.

Good post i've seen in a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time. BUMB. And yes i am agree with you. My server always at high and some time full. I'm trying lvling an alt so i can try out different story line and i have say the world is so god damn boring. We need something that can keep high lvl player come b to low lvl zone so it would not look so lifeless. good post.
And i love the idea about making a Big World event that will lead the player go throught ALL the maps. I love that kind of things :D
Or they could make a World Event base on the Personal Story? Like you know how we have to chose b/w the 3 orders and then from there we advance? We can start at Queensdale and then "travel" to other map ( i put travel in " " meaning that we actually travel, not by using way point, but like escorting NPC to other maps, and on the way while we travel we can have some mini other event), and then fight dragons and stuff :D. We can have one week with the "Vigil" order path, other week with the "order of whisperer path" .....

Nice suggestion, only problem is "what's the point?" GW2's issue is the reward in endgame for going back to earlier zones isn't very rewarding if at all. Just seems pointless. This game has a huge lack of rewards. It reminds me of this old game I played in the NES days called Hydlide. It was a brutal RPG that was so damn hard it took myself and a few friends weeks to beat it, together as a team. When we finally did, our reward was a line of text saying "Congratulations! You have beaten the game!"
We were fairly miffed and even called the developer to complain. Games without rewards are like people robbing me of precious time with inane conversations or pointless advertisements.

They found 37.9 percent of those who regularly took aspirin died, compared with 48.5 percent of the patients who didn't take aspirin. However, the benefit of taking aspirin was seen only in patients whose tumors made a certain protein, called HLA class I antigen. This protein may be involved in the immune system's response to cancer cells, the researchers said, although more research is needed to understand the mechanism. Â Â Â

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:LilPri, It's Cute....I find this anime to be very easy to watch. It's cutesy and fun, but it's got a tiny bit of a dramatic twists. the filler episodes and funny and it makes you laugh, plus the songs make me want to dance... but I'm a little disappointed with the animation. all the dancing scenes are computer generated, and that makes me think the animators are being lazy about it and cutting corners, plus they reuse ...Read more
4 out of 9 people found this review helpful:My Point of View on LilpriRecommended for younger kids. There isn't as much entertainment. The music they sing are always the same, although it sounds good, it gets a little boring after hearin it over and over again. The animation should be decorated more, for me it was a bit plain. The storyline needs to be a bit more...spicy. More adventure. The only thing that was ok for me were actually the characters. They are funny, ...Read more
My review on the fantastic anime LilPriI love this anime! It all started when I was browsing on the internet trying to find good animes to watch. (I love animes) and I came across LilPri. I was very interested in what is was about, so I read the description of the anime and I loved it! So I looked for the episodes and found them, here at crunchyroll. Once I watched the first episode I feel in love with it. I finished watching all of ...Read more
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Lilpri, it's sooo cute!What else can I say? It's cute. The music is catchy, and it kinda grows on you. The animation is over the top, almost seamless. It's something I, and my little ones really enjoy watching. There's not a lot out there that falls into that category that's actually good. = )
Lilpri Is awesome !!Lilpri is one good anime. It's really inspirational for anyone who watches it. It tells you no matter how old you are you can be or do anything you want to do. The songs are great but sometimes I wished they use different songs per episode sometimes because sometimes the song gets old. I love the dances but It's kinda weird seeing them through the whole episode in 2D but then when they dance the ...Read more
What I Think About Lil' PriLil' Pri is a fun anime to watch, very cute characters. I love how it is based on our connection with our childhood fairy tale stories we've all or most of us have grown up with. But yeah, very cute anime to watch for the kids and even adults that are a child at heart.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Lil' Pri so CUTE!!!!Overall it's GREAT!
I love the songs and the dance. The storyline is not that confusing and all the
characters are cute ~ <3 I told all my friends about this new anime, and they
also love it (well they like other ones too). I can't wait to see more episodes x)
Fairy tails and musicOverall its a very good anime. The only thing I don't like is the animation for when they sing. Other then that you will learn amazing songs and about faily tail story you might not of heard about. So far the plot of the story line has been great. The characters are all amazing.

another solution would be to buy a Z series audio card from creative.
problem is xfi cards, is they are getting old. and so is the support.
the software that runs the drivers for the xfi has not been updated in almost 4 years. even back then drivers where flaky
I ended up getting a ZxR card and no problems with mic. and drivers give me no problems
Not for me, the problem persist even after I brought a new sound card. Feels like xfi broke something in Windows
When I feel like doing a reinstall of windows it will probably work.

Ferment in the Dough
Ferment in the Dough
By Deacon Keith A Fournier
� Third Millennium, LLC
�Every believer, in this, our world, must be a spark of light, a center of love, a vivifying ferment in the dough: He will be so to the degree that, in his innermost being, he lives in communion with God. In fact, there can be no peace among men if there is no peace in each one of them."
Pope John XXIII
When I was a first year law student (what now seems a lifetime ago) I had a two fold recipe for overcoming �stress�. Funny, how the definition of that word changes as the decades go by. I would run daily and bake bread every Friday evening. Both practices were extraordinarily therapeutic during a very intense time.
The first year of law school is structured almost as a form of hazing. I think it is intended to winnow the class and � at least hypothetically- to insure that the future members of the bar are more effective in their chosen profession. As a Christian, I knew that it was to be much more. It was, as are all experiences in the lives of those who are submitted to the Lord, a time for conversion, learning and growth. The choice was mine.
From running, I discovered some amazing things about myself. I came to experience my own weaknesses (which seem to have grown even larger over all these years) as well as my potential. I have been working on both for a very long time.
From baking bread, I learned about the Christian vocation. That�s right! Baking bread teaches us about the vocation of both the individual Christian and the mission of the entire Church in the midst of the world.
Throughout the two millennia of Christian history there has been a lot of confusion concerning the relationship Christians are to have with �the world�. There is confusion regarding this very issue in the contemporary Christian community. If we do not get the basics right concerning this vital subject we will be ineffective in fulfilling the missionary mandate of the Church and we will also fall short of the call of our Baptismal vocation.
Loving the world
As Christians we are called to �love the world� as God loves the world. Because we live in Jesus Christ, He continues His redemptive mission in and through each one of us! Through our Baptism we actually have become members of the Body of Christ on earth. Truly understanding and grasping the implications of this reality is about more than piety. It should change the entire way we view our human existence. It is reality.
We now live our daily lives in the Lord and in His Church. In a very real sense, we actually live in the Church and go into the world. One of the titles that the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council ascribed to the Church (one that is also found in early patristic literature) is that the Church is the �the world reconciled.�
Some of the confusion concerning the Christians� relationship to the world also comes from the remnants, the lasting effects, of one of the earliest heresies in Christian history. It was called Manicheeism. The followers of this error believed that all matter was evil. That is absolutely NOT the Christian belief. In fact, Christians profess a belief in a bodily resurrection and the coming of a new heaven and new earth!
Yet, this error of viewing matter as evil has deep roots even still within some segments of Christianity. It leads to a kind �ghetto mentality� leading some Christians to withdraw from the world and not participate in the �world�. Sometimes these folks build little subcultures, withdrawing from the very people whom God still loves and whom He lovingly desires to reach through the Body of Christ. Following this approach, Christians can often become irrelevant, ineffective or, in some instances, pharisaical.
Some of the confusion also results from the various ways that the phrase �the world� is used in the biblical texts. The phrase �the world� is used in two very distinct ways. There is �the world� that God created and looked upon and said �it is good�. (See e.g. Genesis, chapter 1). That world is still good. It is filled with beauty and reflects the Divine artist and architect who made it. That beautiful world He entrusted to the crown of his creation - man and woman.
God created us for Himself. He made us in His very image and likeness (Genesis 1:27). He placed us within this created world with a purpose. God still loves that world so much that He sent His only Son into it to save it! (John 3:16). He still walks in that world through His Body, the Church. His mission is a saving mission and He has invited us into the entire plan. He wants to bring the entire human race back into a relationship with Him through ...

Gophers Competing At USTA/ITA Central Region Tennis Championships
Oct. 20, 2011
After two weeks off following the Northwestern Wildcat Invitational in Evanston, Ill., the Minnesota women's tennis team opened play at the 2011 USTA/ITA Central Region Tennis Championships in Tulsa, Okla. on Thursday. All ten members of the team made the trip for the event, which runs through Sunday.
The ITA's Central Region includes 30 teams from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Minnesota and Iowa are the lone women's Big Ten schools in the region.
Emilie Renault, Pauline Gilbert, Aria Lambert, Elianna Kantar got things started for the Gophers by playing in the tournament's qualifying rounds on Thursday afternoon. Each player lost her first match, but Renault, Gilbert, and Kantar bounced back with wins later in the day. Lambert retired from her first match against South Dakota State's Jenny Blackburne and did not play a second match.
Gilbert and Kantar fell in closely-contested, third-set match tiebreakers in their first matches, but went on to win in straight sets against opponents from Bradley. Renault rebounded from a 6-2, 7-5 loss to Missouri's Annemijn Koene by taking down Janelle Fung of Arkansas State 6-2, 6-0.
Five UM doubles tandems will begin doubles play tomorrow at 8 a.m.: Kantar and Gilbert, Lambert and Renault, Alexa Palen and Magdalena Wiecha, Natallia Pintusava and Julia Courter, and Yuliana Umanets and Doron Muravnik. The main singles draw, which begins after the opening-round doubles play concludes, is slated to start at 10:30 a.m.
Palen will compete in singles play for the first time this season on the weekend and Umanets and 61st-ranked Pintusava, who is the No. 1 seed, will play for the first time overall in 2011-12 in the tournament. Pintusava broke out at the 2010 Central Region singles tournament as a freshman, making an unprecedented run to the championship at the event in Fayetteville, Ark.
Through three tournaments in September and early October, Murvanik has been the team's top singles performer with a 5-1 record, while Wiecha and Courter both stand at 4-2. Wiecha and Palen have been Minnesota's top doubles combination so far at 5-2.
After completing play in Tulsa, the Gophers will finish off the fall season by playing at the Kitty Harrison Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C. Nov. 4-6.

I love writing about wrestling. I think that's obvious. Another thing I love is talking about it. While TJRWrestling Radio isn't a weekly show, we do it about every 3-4 weeks and going forward will continue doing it on the Tuesday or Wednesday following WWE PPVs or WWE Specials, which they might be called going forward. My regular co-hosts on the show are Matt Seagull (@PocketSeagull on Twitter), who you know as a writer on TJRWrestling, and also our friend Cory aka The Ace (@TheAce18).
We've been doing this show for 3 years (usually on a monthly basis) and I can honestly say that last night's episode was the best one we did. I'm not saying that to shill. I don't say it every show either. I'm just being honest about it because I believe it. It wasn't an easy show to do, but we got through it together. It's been hard dealing with the news of Ultimate Warrior passing away, but what we talked about last night certainly helped us deal with it as wrestling fans.
During the two hour show, we were joined by former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas (@JimmyKorderas). We talked about the Ultimate Warrior for about 30 minutes. Since Jimmy worked with him in WWE (Jimmy worked in WWE for 20 years), he shared some stories about how nice of a guy he was and how he cared about guys like him as well as others on the ring crew that traveled from town to town.
We also talked about WrestleMania 30 with Jimmy and got his insight into Undertaker's loss against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31. Did Jimmy think that it was Undertaker's decision to lose? You can hear his opinion on the show.
There were also some questions from TJRWrestling readers asking Jimmy about ref bumps, WrestleMania memories and plenty of other interesting topics. He's a friend that has supported the site for years, so we love it when he joins us.
In the second hour, my buddy Nick Kostos (one of the three guys I went to WM with) joined us. We had a great talk about our many experiences in New Orleans including being in the crowd at WrestleMania and Raw. We also mentioned the madness of Bourbon Street, Nick's critiques of some of my wardrobe and the genius of Paul Heyman as well.
Here's TJR Wrestling Radio/Podcast from last night with a LINK RIGHT HERE. You can play it on your computer or mobile device. Download the MP3 file. It's also up on iTunes RIGHT HERE too. Here's an embedded version of the show as well:
Please listen to this show. If you've never given us a try before that's okay. Try to make some time for this one. Thank you.
As for my writing schedule, life continues to be busy for me with my responsibilities at WhatCulture. Most likely my Raw Deal column will go up Saturday and then the formal WrestleMania 30 recap on Sunday. Even though I was at both shows I still want to stick with my normal format of reviews too. My night of WrestleMania recap is here although it's not a full recap. Just trying to catch up, but have other things too. I'll likely write the Raw Deal live on Monday night too, so I will be all caught up by then.
Thanks for your support of the radio show and everything else we've got going on here at TJRWrestling. Have a great rest of this week and weekend ahead.

MANGILAO, GUAM--Guam experiences more tropical cyclones than any other state or territory in the United States. These cyclones--called typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean--can be devastating to Guam's dense native forests. The impact of large-scale tropical cyclones affects the health of managed and unmanaged forests, urban landscapes, and perennial horticulture plantings for many years after the actual storm. In fact, the island's forests are often called 'typhoon forests' because their health and appearance is inextricably defined by the most recent typhoons.
As recently as 2002, Cycas micronesica was the most abundant tree species in Guam. The species is recognized for its innate ability to recover from damage after a tropical cyclone. Resprouting on snapped tree trunks, or "direct regeneration", enabled C. micronesica to sustain its status as the most abundant tree in Guam through 2002. Although native tree species like C. micronesica possess traits that enable them to recover from tropical cyclone damage, invasive pests and other environmental challenges are compromising the species' resiliency.
Thomas Marler from the College of Natural and Applied Sciences at the University of Guam, and John Lawrence from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service reported on a large-scale study of Cycas micronesica in HortScience. The team compared the impact of two tropical cyclones--Typhoon Chaba in 2004, and Typhoon Paka in 1997--on the resilience and health of Cycas micronesica. They noticed that the proportion of trees exhibiting "mechanical failure" during Typhoon Chaba--in which peak wind speeds were less than half of those in Typhoon Paka--surpassed the damage documented during the more powerful Typhoon Paka. "We set out to determine how a tropical cyclone with moderate wind speeds could impose greater mechanical damage to a highly resistant tree species than a more p

[QUOTE=birds;18681286It looks like I have a lot of reading to do on techniques. I can put in a different front sprocket easily enough to try not slipping the clutch at a lower speed. I wasn't quite going lock to lock yet, but my locks are really far apart. Should it feel like your headlight is facing real far down? [/QUOTE]
Like others here, I havent' been able to find much to read about this stuff. I'm still a noobie myself but have been watching the all the videos that I can find and it looks like the headlight can be pointing down at an extreme angle, depending on the angle of lean and the depth of the turn. I've been trying to study body position as well as weight shift to figure out when and where the riders are moving to control the bike for each maneuver. I think that the distances between the cones is going to be very critical to make comparing course times accurate.
I have used Google Sketcher to draw a few things, as a free app, and it would lend itself very well here, because you can draw a flat diagram as well as a 3-D rendering, that includes dimensions in the drawing. It would be helpful to produce patterns that others could then copy for competitive purposes as well as practice sessions.
On another note:
I found a video shot in Japan where the riders were competing in heavy rain. It was obvious that they were off their normal times by a little, but still really pressing the bikes while riding through standing water on some places on the course that was, at times, between 1" and 2" deep. Blew me away! I guess I'm a sissy baby about rain and I'm gonna have to learn to get over it. These guys prove that if you "trust the Michelin Man" he will do his job and you just ride it. I'm gonna have to work to unlearn my squimishness about riding in rain, although I can't imagine competing in rain, there's really no reason not to ride in warmer weather since the tires are capable and I have a rain suit.

Voters return 12 of 13 Memphis City Council members; Lee Harris, Kemba Ford square off in District 7
Click here for results from the 2011 Memphis municipal election
A Nov. 10 runoff was assured in the District 7 City Council race, where candidates Kemba Ford and Lee Harris each got 24 percent of the vote in Thursday's municipal election.
In unofficial results reported by the Shelby County Election Commission, the two were four votes apart: Harris had 1,983 and Ford 1,979.
Meanwhile, 12 of the 13 City Council members won re-election by overwhelming margins that ranged from 57 percent to 80 percent in the nine contested races. Except in Super Districts, City Council candidates must get 50 percent of votes plus one to win.
In the wide-open District 7 race, 14 candidates competed for the seat vacated by Barbara Swearengen Ware.
"Basically, I'm happy and grateful to be here," Ford said. "It's a blessing. I worked hard and I wasn't on anybody's ballot."
Ford, a 37-year-old actress, was living in Los Angeles and returned to Memphis in 2007 when her father, former state senator John Ford, went on trial on corruption charges. She has spent some time in California since then. She said she went door-to-door talking to people and put out her yard signs herself.
She added that she's proud of the Ford family name, but said she wants a "new beginning."
"I'm a new person. I've never run for political office before. I think what people saw in me was something they didn't see in any other candidate. Something intangible."
Harris, a 33-year-old associate professor at the University of Memphis law school, is active in both the Shelby County Democratic Party and the United Campus Workers, a union that's seeking to organize university employees.
He says a top priority if he's elected would be cleaning up abandoned homes and high grass in neighborhoods.
"I'm pleased my message resonated with so many people. I'm not from a prominent political family so I was always the underdog in this race ... but sometimes the underdog prevails."
Former District 7 representative Ware resigned following an indictment on charges of using her office to avoid motor vehicle inspections.
Her son, Michael Steven Moore, ran to succeed her, but got only 6 percent of the vote in unofficial returns.
The district includes Mud Island, most of Downtown and North Memphis, and parts of Raleigh and Frayser.
Another closely watched contest was the Super District 9, Position 1 race. Incumbent Kemp Conrad won with 63 percent of the vote. Trade unionist Paul Shaffer, business manager of Local 474 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, opposed Conrad.
"I think people like the way this city is going and they expressed that at the ballot box tonight," Conrad said. He also attributed the win to "a lot of hard work by a lot of people in my campaign."
Out-of-state labor groups donated thousands of dollars to help Shaffer unseat Conrad, who has been critical of what he calls unsustainable government benefits and spending.
"Obviously we didn't have the energized voters to get us over the top," Shaffer said. Referring to the labor conflict, he said, "Obviously it energized his base a lot more than mine, which was the opposite of what we expected."
In a hotly contested race between incumbent Janis Fullilove and challenger Rosalyn Nichols for the Super District 8, Position 2 race, Fullilove had 57 percent of the vote to Nichols' 26 percent.
Fullilove, 61, has at times been troubled by personal problems, including a DUI conviction and turning in false information to get a new driver's license.
Nichols, 47, pastor of Freedom's Chapel Christian Church, picked up the endorsement of Mayor A C Wharton. Fullilove, a vocal supporter of city workers, harshly criticized Wharton's budget, which included layoffs, salary reductions and pension and benefit reforms.
Four of the 12 council members seeking re-election -- Reid Hedgepeth, chairman Myron Lowery, Jim Strickland and Harold Collins -- had no opposition.
District 9, Position 2 incumbent Shea Flinn, 38, handily beat James Sdoia, 62, with 80 percent of the votes.
With 77 percent of the vote, Joe Brown, a council member since his appointment following the death of Dr. Talib-Karim Muhammad in 1997, easily beat Mark Coleman and Tammy Warren for the Super District 8, Position 1 seat.
Councilwoman Wanda Halbert got 64 percent of the votes to earn her second full term representing District 4. Halbert, a 44-year-old mother of two, was challenged by George Walker, Louis Matthew Morganfield and Michelle Smith.
Edmund Ford Jr. received 63 percent of the vote in his re-election to the District 6 seat, which was previously held by his father, Edmund Ford Sr., a losing candidate for mayor. Clara Ford, who is not related to the Ford political family, former Memphis City Schools board member Sharon Webb and Rhoda Stigall challenged Ford Jr.
With 74 percent of the votes, District 2 incumbent Bill Boyd beat back his challenger Sylvia Cox, an IT contractor at Accredo Health Group.
Boyd, a former Shelby County property assessor, was a driving force behind the formation of the city's ethics board. Cox had said she would improve Memphis Animal Services and other government services.
In District 1, incumbent Bill Morrison, 40, beat Millington native Kendrick Sneed, 35, with 64 percent of the votes.
Elected in 2007, Morrison, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Highland Oaks Middle School, is council vice chairman. He is known for his fiscally conservative stances as well as his role in the council's slashing of the city schools' budget in 2008, a decision ultimately overturned in court. He's also championed "quality of life" improvements in the district, which sprawls across the northern border of the city.
Sneed, a Shelby County Sheriff's Office deputy, said his top priorities would be "fully funding" education and strengthening community policing.

This may be very simple and may be on my end but I have no coding experience really so can't troubleshoot it.
I just installed your plugin and it looks great...the individual check boxes work and they make the zip file but when I click the "Select All"
it does nothing.
I turned on de-bugging (IE Tools)and got this message after I clicked the Select All button:
Breaking on JScript Runtime error.
Error: Object doesn't support property or method 'prop'
and it Highlights this code...
$(this).closest("form").find("input[name='pid[]']").prop({checked: true});
Any ideas on what may be happening here?
Thanks for the plugin though it looks good :)

Review quote
'Magnificent set pieces of fastidious sensuality' Ian McEwan 'Angela Carter has extended the life and richness of the fable form itself partly through language that is both pellucid and sensual, but chiefly through imagination of such Ariel reach that she can glide from ancient to modern, from darkness to luminosity, from depravity to comedy without any hint of strain and without losing the elusive power of the original tales' The Times 'The Bloody Chamber's interweaving of retold fairy tales demonstrates Angela Carter's narrative gift at its most mocking and seductive' Observer 'Extraordinary and beautiful' Peter Redgrove
Editorial reviews
Carter relates traditional fairy tales through her own unique perspective. The mind of the modern feminist unravels the mysteries of the subconscious and its related symbolism. (Kirkus UK)

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack and his Democratic opponent, Rick Nolan, hunted before dawn Saturday on outings that were as much about showing their comfort with guns as bagging a buck.
Cravaack, Nolan hunt for votes in tight Minn. race
Both passed on shooting deer, hoping for bigger prizes — during the hunting season and on Election Day. They're in a hard fight for Cravaack's northeastern Minnesota seat in one of the nation's top House races.
Cravaack, 53, spent some time in the woods but then headed to a Duluth gear and gun store to campaign with National Rifle Association president David Keene and Rep. John Kline, R-Minn. Cravaack is trying to hang onto a seat he won in 2010 after it had been in Democratic hands for more than 60 years. The national parties and their allies have spent nearly $9 million on the race, largely on negative TV ads.
The candidates — who together spent less than $2 million by mid-October — both lamented the onslaught of ads from outside groups.
"People are just kind of tired of it right now," Cravaack said. "They just want to refocus. They want to get the economy going again."
Nolan, 68, emphasized his support for Second Amendment gun rights as he prepared to campaign close to his home near Brainerd. The former congressman has been the target of ads attacking him for missed votes and supporting raises when he served more than three decades ago.
"If I had some more money, I would be putting up another ad that points out that I was a very respected legislator," Nolan said.
Elsewhere in the state, volunteers and candidates hustled to make phone calls, knock on doors and remind people to vote Tuesday.
One of the biggest turnout efforts came from opponents of proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Minnesotans United for All Families spokeswoman Kate Brickman said the group had 15,000 volunteers signed up for shifts over the last eight days before the election. In an effort to reach a million voters by Election Day, they were contacting both those who oppose the ballot question and those who hadn't made up their minds yet.

Deborah Lippmann, nail tech and polish manufacturer. In her other life: jazz singer.
"It's all about surrounding yourself with the right people."
"It's all about surrounding yourself with the right people."
You can find Deborah Lippmann sitting pretty, squarely at the intersection of the nail industry and the entertainment industry. A nail tech for 25 years, Lippmann has built a clientele with plenty of star power, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Mariah Carey, Cher, Demi Moore, Kelly Ripa, and Gwyneth Paltrow. In 1999, she introduced her own line of signature polishes and treatments, in some cases partnering with celebrity clients on custom colors (like Walk Away Renee for Renee Zellweger and Sarah Smiles for Parker).
In 2004, with the release of her first album "Nightingale," Lippmann, an accomplished jazz singer, became an entertainer in her own right. This year marks the release of her second album "Vinyl," a compilation of cover songs from the past several decades. Vinyl also happens to be the name of Lippmann's latest polish collection; the lacquers bear the same names as the songs on the CD.
Despite a heavy travel schedule to promote the Lippmann Collection and her work as creative director of the nail spa at Salon A•K•S in New York City, singing remains her first love — she's been doing it since age 4. Balancing the two careers is not as difficult as it might seem, says Lippmann: "It's all about accurate scheduling. And I have a great team behind me that fills in when I'm M.I.A. in either direction. It's all about surrounding yourself with the right people." Lippmann envisions a perfect future where her dual careers are combined. "I would love to sing in the towns I visit while promoting the Lippmann Collection," she says.
