Ronaldinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic produced a vintage second-half display to beat Auxerre 2-0 in the opening Group G game of the UEFA Champions League.
The Swede scored both AC Milan goals in four second-half minutes as the experienced Brazil playmaker pulled the strings. The visitors, though, will look back with regret at a four-on-two break in the first half which went to waste due to Steven Langil's rash shot.
Auxerre, indeed, had the better chances of the first period as a whole, with Valter Birsa's low drive comfortable held by Christian Abbiati in the early stages. Langil had a penalty appeal waved away after going down under Gianluca Zambrotta's challenge and, as the attack continued, saw a shot saved by Abbiati.
A brief Milan salvo saw keeper Olivier Sorin eccentrically punch away Andrea Pirlo's free-kick when it was curled straight at his chest. But Auxerre resumed their attack and defender Adama Coulibaly headed against the angle of post and bar from Dennis Oliech's corner.
Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng was denied by Stephane Grichting's block before Langil's moment of madness. Oliech broke at pace and the forward shot wildly high and wide of the near post, with Ireneusz Jelen and Cedric Hengbart wide open across the penalty area.
Alexandre Pato was denied a penalty at the other end after Jean-Pascal Mignot's challenge, with the Brazilian possibly caught by a stray elbow, and half-time arrived goalless. Sorin kept out Pato's effort from a dangerous position early in the second half before Mignot header Benoit Pedretti's corner over at the other end. Sorin then tipped Pirlo's drive around the post as Milan's dominance began.
Luca Antonini flashed a dangerous ball across the six-yard box, with Ibrahimovic narrowly unable to make contact and Boateng's drive at the far post blocked by Hengbart. Ibrahimovic then jinked through four players only to cross behind Robinho and Delvin Ndinga mopped up - but the Sweden striker broke the deadlock in the 66th minute.
Ronaldinho's teasing cross was flicked on by Boateng and Ibrahimovic stretched out a leg to beat Sorin to the ball and find the net. Three minutes later, he struck again. Ronaldinho drove at the defence and unselfishly teed up the striker, who placed a precise finish past the lunging Coulibaly and the diving Sorin.
Boateng failed to make a proper contact with Ronaldinho's superb cross before Auxerre had a brief late flurry. Oliech saw a shot well saved by Abbiati and Anthony Le Tallec had a 'goal' disallowed by one of the more obvious offside decisions in recent history.
Milan closed the game out though, with Ronaldinho's sumptuous display summed up when he put Robinho clear with a backheeled pass against his line of sight while on one knee. His fellow Brazilian, sadly, was flagged offside.

The secret of luck lies in ...
I should start by mentioning that I'm from Germany. I will come to Vancouver in the beginning of May and I'm basically looking for someone to talk to, to show me the city, to go shopping or to enjoy some movies together etc. I'm just a nice guy looking for a nice girl. I hope this sounds not too strange! I'm imaginative, kind, well.educated and a little bit sarcastic, honest and cooperative, a stolid optimist and open-minded. Good manners, consideration, humor and open-mindedness, tolerance and the ability to find compromises are important for me. I am a great movie-fan, both in the cinema and at home. "Whom would you like to act in a film? And why?" I like to travel, especially to the west-coast of Canada - I love Vancouver - and the Atlantic-coast of France, although I'm not very versed in the French language. In winter I go skiing to Austria or Switzerland and if there is enough snow at home I do cross-country-skiing, or I like jogging. Moreover I play tennis in summer. If you're interested in getting to know each other, then go ahead and wink or send an e-mail. You see I kept it simple - more details in our future e-mails/meeting.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Middle of the Road
I love to travel! I'm a great fan of France especially the Atlantic coast for camping, Austria or Switzerland for skiing, Canada's west-coast (I love Vancouver) and last but not least San Diego and Munich. But there are still so many places to visit.
I need just good food and a good glass of wine/Champagne and I'm happy.
Skiing, Cross-Country-skiing, tennis, hiking, camping, watching movies – I'm a great movie fan – , watching sports, reading, vaccuum-cleaning (how strange is this:-)).
The last book I read was The Prinzip by A. Campobasso. It's about attracting what you want in life. I also like Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Alexandre Dumas and George MacDonald Fraser. For my business all kinds of wine -companions -magazins

I had a segmented container I used for a show to taste samples and it worked great until I took a turn in my car and it fell over and everything was mixed. I will put syran rap on it and then the cover next time!.
I mixed all my FD fruit (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, apple, peach, pear, mango, and pineapple) in a small container, then measured the water and put them in to soak for 5 min., then added my pancake mix and poured onto a preheaed flat cast iron pan and added a little butter to prevent sticking. Cook till bubbles are all around pancake, slightly lift to check how brown you want it and flip and cook till lightly browned.
Add a little butter and pure maple syrup and you will want seconds.
They were the best I ever had. I ate 3 and my husband ate 4. I know you kids will love them.
Powdered milk is what we've all known about when we think of storing milk, but nobody likes it! It is thick, you have to shake it up vigorously and drink it cold. It has a bit of a smell to it as well that people don't like. So what can you do with powdered milk? Well, it's awesome for breads and rolls.
Instant milk is wonderful for drinking. It has a thinner consistency, is easy to mix and doesn't have a smell at all. It is great for preparing ahead of time or on the spot.
When you prepare it, as the can indicates, the milk will be a lot like skim milk. To thicken it up to what you prefer, add less water and it will appear thicker like a 1% or 2%.

Consultant with Shelf Reliance
Textured Vegetable Protein or TVP is an amazing product.
For lack of a better word to describe it, it's "fake" meat.
That might not sound too appetizing but I assure you there are great reasons to have this great product on hand.
1) TVP is so much better tasting than it used to be. One of the more popular TVP's is Taco TVP. It tastes and smells just like your favorite taco places.
2) TVP is very low in calories! It's about the same calories as a low fat yogurt in just a 1/4 serving!
3) TVP is high in protein, really high! Between all the kinds of TVP Shelf Reliance carries, there is 18-21% of your daily value of protein in just 1/4 cup!
4) TVP is very inexpensive and saves you money when trying to extend your chicken, sausage and beef budget. Combine a little beef TVP to your regular ground beef and save some money this month!
Shelf Reliance Independent Consultant
The difference between: freeze dried potato dices, dehydrated potato chunks, potato beads and sweet potatoes.
Freeze dried potato dices are freeze dried as the title indicates. This gives these potatoes an extraordinary shelf life, around 25 years sealed and 2 year opened.
Freeze dried products are the same as fresh with no added preservatives or salts. So a freeze dried potato is simply a fresh diced potato that has undergone the freeze drying process. This process does not use any chemicals. It simply compacts the moisture under vacuum pressure and evaporates it away, leaving less than 10% of the products moisture intact. Less moisture=longer shelf life.
These potatoes are perfect for "mashed potatoes from scratch." So delicious!
Just reconstitute (add water back in) by boiling until soft and then mash. Add anything you normally would to your regular mashed potatoes. They are soft enough to break between your fingers.
I also use cardboard between the jars and on top of them. I also put a label right below it. If there are rows of the same thing, then I pull from the left and move the others forward. I also keep a legend, so when I send a kid or husband down to get a jar of peaches they know where to look. On this legend is an inventory of all our food storage with dates of expiration. They are required to mark off what they took and how much is left.. I have very good neighbors who once in a while need to borrow something and I tell them to go down in the basement and look at the legend . It is in alphabetical order. They take what they need and they replace it with a similar item or the same item. They in turn usually help with the canning and learn about food storage and why we do it. They actually ask what they should have on hand and I will go and look at their food storage and advise them.

"Since our hometown team colors are black n gold, I searched for labels that were simple but eye-catching! I found them here and was so pleased. I will use this design for other fans with pleasure knowing they will enjoy using them on their correspondence."
"I like the top part of this design where I typed my nephew's and niece's nicknames, it becomes the focal part of the sticker. I ordered two labels, one pink for my niece and one blue for my nephew. The colors stand out and I wasn't disappointed with it. I like the shade of each and the simplicity of the font. Also, the delivery is fast! It was scheduled to arrive on 05/28 but I got it today, 05/22. Awesome!"
"Wanted Basil to match my announcements, these labels are slightly darker than the cards but close enough that I didn't need to send them back. Very nice, simple design. Delivery was super quick - thanks!"
"Love these address labels because the design was so cute. They were the perfect finishing touch for my baby shower invitations and I would highly recommend them!"
"We bought these so that our newborn baby would have return address labels for all of the thank you cards. They are so cute. The only negative is that the socks are cut off on the right side."

Lakers win first game post-Brown
A few hours after the Los Angeles Lakers' top brass abruptly fired coach Mike Brown and threw their season into turmoil before mid-November, Brown's former players demonstrated why there's still ample reason to think this team can be saved.
The Lakers should find out soon whether Phil Jackson gets the chance to do the saving — again.
Kobe Bryant scored 27 points, Pau Gasol added 14 points and 16 rebounds, and the Lakers doubled their win total with a 101-77 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.
Jordan Hill scored 14 points for the Lakers, who were uniformly stunned by Brown's dismissal after just 18 months on the job. Following a bumpy first half against Golden State under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff, they pulled away in the third quarter with a 25-9 run led by Bryant, who also had nine rebounds and seven assists.
''I think everybody didn't know how to react to it emotionally,'' Bryant said. ''Everybody had to just go about their business and play basketball. ... A lot of the emotion that was picked up was kind of unleashed when we played.''
The comfortable victory capped one of the most tumultuous days in recent history for a franchise that's never short on drama. With the high-priced veteran club off to a Western Conference-worst 1-4 start following a winless preseason, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and owner Jim Buss abruptly dismissed Brown, informing players during their morning shootaround.
Bickerstaff ran the Lakers as the interim coach, but the veteran NBA bench boss isn't likely to be a candidate for the full-time job. Kupchak is searching for a replacement, possibly making a selection before the Lakers' next game on Sunday against Sacramento.
The Lakers' crowd quickly made its choice known: A chant of ''We want Phil!'' rose out of the stands while Bryant shot a free throw in the third quarter, and echoed a few more times later in the half.
''I can understand why,'' Bickerstaff said. ''The guy's got the rings.''
Jackson, the 11-time NBA champion coach who won five rings in two previous stints running the Lakers, is near the top of Kupchak's list again, the GM acknowledged. Mike D'Antoni, the former Knicks and Suns coach, also is thought to be a prime candidate.
Bryant said he would be thoroughly happy with Jackson, D'Antoni or former Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw in charge. Bryant's injury struggles during Jackson's final season would give him particular motivation for a third stint together.
''I wasn't able to give him my real self because I was playing on one leg,'' Bryant said. ''It's always kind of eaten away at me that in the last year of his career ... I couldn't give him everything I had because I was playing on one knee.''
Dwight Howard had six points and eight rebounds while playing just 24 minutes for the Lakers in his ongoing return from offseason back surgery. Steve Nash, the other major addition to the club, watched from behind the bench, missing his fourth straight game with a small fracture in his leg. Nash will be out for at least another week, the Lakers announced after the game.
POWER RANKINGSThe NBA's best are battling for position. We rank all 30 teams.
After the protracted drama between Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy and the six-time All-Star center, Howard met questions about the Lakers' coaching staff with a smile and silence.
''I'm going to keep that to myself,'' Howard said. ''I learned my lesson last year.''
Brown never got the chance to integrate the two stars into his new offense while they were dogged by health issues. Kupchak and Buss still needed to see more progress than the Lakers managed in the past six weeks, particularly on defense - and they saw it against the Warriors, who managed just 33.7 percent shooting and made 19 turnovers.
''We were just out of sync, no excuse,'' Golden State coach Mark Jackson said. ''If you're going to beat a good team on the road, you've got to take care of the basketball. We came in with the mindset to run, and they outscored us even in fast-break points. Just disappointed overall.''
Stephen Curry scored 18 points and Klay Thompson had 15 for the Warriors, who have lost five straight to the Lakers overall, and nine in a row at Staples Center since March 2008.
''I think we played well, but the score doesn't say that,'' Curry said. ''Defensively, we did a pretty good job. We're just undersized down there, trying to battle the boards and the paint.''
THEY'RE THE BESTWho are the biggest NBA superstars? We rank the top 20.
The Lakers' offensive struggles evaporated in the third quarter while they leaped to an 18-point lead over the undermanned Warriors, who struggled to contend inside without injured center Andrew Bogut.
Darius Morris had career highs of 10 points and five rebounds while playing the majority of the Lakers' minutes at point guard. Los Angeles' reserves have been largely ineffective during Brown's tenure, but Morris and Hill led a spirited effort against the Warriors, outscoring their counterparts with Golden State 37-17.
NOTES: Lakers F Devin Ebanks was inactive after getting arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs early Friday morning. Rookie Darius Johnson-Odom made his NBA debut in the final minutes. ... Warriors C Andris Biedrins came up roughly 2 feet short on an airballed free throw in the first half. The Latvian veteran has a career free throw shooting percentage just over 50 percent. ... Brown went 42-29 with the Lakers, coaching them to the second round of the playoffs during the strike-shortened season before his abbreviated start to this fall.

Richard II (RSC)
Editorial Staff • West End • 8 Jan 2001
Not only does director Steven Pimlott have a clear vision for the play, but he plainly points the way to future plays in the series with details such as the white rose carried by Richard as the Lancastrian Bolingbroke ascends the throne.
But let's not dwell too much on the future for there's plenty of meat in this cautionary tale alone. Pimlott begins the play with Richard's "I have been studying how I may compare this prison…." speech, setting out from the start, the constraints faced by the monarch. Richard comes to appreciate how isolated he is, and at the end, Bolingbroke (now Henry IV) takes up the theme. Ultimately, Richard II is about kingly power and its limitations, not the flawed personality of one individual, and it's here that Pimlott really scores.
Sam West's flighty, duplicitous, arrogant and overly-gay Richard is almost unable to comprehend the extent of Bolingbroke s revolt until the last possible moment. In this production, Aumerle is fashioned as his lover, an interesting twist, which makes Aumerle's participation in the anti-Henry plot more credible.
David Troughton's Bolingbroke, by contrast to Richard, is a blunt populist, a political brute who's relentless in his quest for power. Reinforcing his rough and ready direct appeal, Troughton turns repeatedly to the audience, at one point beseeching all to rise in prayer - it's easy to see how this charmer persuades the rest of the nobility to join him against an anointed king.
Backing up the two outstanding lead performances are some exceptionally strong supporting players. Christopher Saul's Northumberland is a ruthless and officious bureaucrat and Adam Levy a militaristically thuggish Percy. My only doubt is over David Killick's rather camp York who doesn't convince as someone whose word holds such sway.
Still, this is a truly outstanding production: an intelligent, well-acted interpretation of one of Shakespeare s greatest plays. And at a time when the question of what is nationhood is much debated, it provides plenty of stimulation for the mind.
Note: The following review dates from April 2000 and this production's original run in Stratford-upon-Avon.
This is a wonderful production, but it will not be to everyone's taste. If you like your theatre to be a charming box of delights with beautiful period costumes and elaborate sets, then forget it. But if you enjoy demanding drama which is powerful, intense and challenging, then Steven Pimlott's studio version of Richard II is for you.
In a bare white room, the earthen mound of a freshly filled grave, a few chairs and a crude wooden box (which eventually becomes Richard's coffin) are the only set. The costumes are present-day, but there is none of the distraction of fussy 'modern dress'. Both setting and play are stripped down to their bare essentials. The romantic Richard is gone; this is an analysis of power politics at its most uncompromising. The story of the deposition and murder of King Richard II and his replacement by Bolingbroke as King Henry IV is a grim exercise in realpolitik.
Samuel West is a youthful Richard, imperious in public, indulgent and relaxed in private with his feisty fashion-model wife and trio of young flatterers. Bushy, Bagot and Green have rarely been so recognisable - repellent yuppie lads who lounge and jeer. But when Bushy - wonderfully played by Paul McEwan - is summarily executed, it's a genuinely shocking moment which transforms the mood of the entire play.
This is a serious evening's entertainment, and the only laughter comes at the over-done militarism of Adam Levy's Harry Hotspur. But those laughs die in our throats when he suddenly murders Bushy in cold-blood with a hand-gun fitted with a silencer; the soft click making far more impact than any ringing shot.
The acting is uniformly good, from West's mesmerising Richard and David Troughton's terrifying Bolingbroke, right through the cast to Tim Treloar who, in his first year's work in theatre, plays half a dozen minor roles quite faultlessly. Alexis Daniel as Aumerle, Richard's young cousin and lieutenant, moves us deeply with his own personal tragedy, in a play in which there are few characters to admire or to pity.
In the deposition scene, Richard reminds us of the spiritual aspect of medieval monarchy by wearing a crown of thorns made of English roses. But Henry Bolingbroke's power is based on arms and military might, against which Richard's claim to authority by divine right rapidly crumbles.
If anyone is so naive and foolish to believe that politics is an honourable profession for decent men and women, they should see this play. They'll soon be disillusioned. This is a Richard II for the year 2000, Shakespeare at the cutting edge.
Robert Hole Richard II opened at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, 29 March 2000 (previews from 20 March) and continued there in repertory until 5 October 2000.

Travelers with Disabilties and Medical Conditions
If a passenger has a cast, brace, or support appliance, he or she should inform an officer before screening begins. Passengers can use TSA's Notification Card to communicate discreetly with security officers. However, showing this card or other medical documentation will not exempt a passenger from additional screening when necessary.
The way screening of a cast, brace, or support appliance will be conducted depends on the passenger's level of ability and whether or not the passenger can remove the cast, brace, or support appliance during screening. Passengers can be screened without removing a cast, brace, or support appliance and the passenger should inform an officer of his or her ability, and of any need for assistance before screening begins.
Passengers can be screened using imaging technology or walk-through metal detectors. If a passenger cannot or chooses not to be screened by imaging technology or a walk-through metal detector, the passenger will be screened using a thorough pat-down procedure instead.
Regardless of whether a passenger is screened by a metal detector, imaging technology, or a thorough pat-down, casts, braces, and support appliances are subject to additional screening. An officer will need to see the device, which may require the lifting of clothing without exposing any sensitive areas. TSA also will use technology to test the device for traces of explosive material. If explosive material is detected, the passenger will have to undergo additional screening.

A citizen of Bong County has frowned at Senator Jewel Taylor's recent unilateral distribution of over 200 prepared buckets donated by Accelar Mittal to enhance the fight against the deadly ebola virus in the county. Mr. Herbert Johnson said the Bong County Senator's action is not only politically motivated but undermines the County Health task force, which is charged with the responsibility to oversee the distribution of ebola-related materials and other relief items to citizens.
As the fight against the deadly virus intensifies, Mr. Johnson said there were attempts by some individuals to milk the exercise in gaining political relevance at the detriment of others. "
That Senator Taylor could place her photo on the donated buckets for distribution is a political campaign, which is quite sad a time in Liberia,' Johnson said.
"I wonder why will the senator use free donation and place her photograph on them for distribution. This is a chicanery being orchestrated by the lawmaker, while she pretends to back the fight against the deadly virus."
According to him, it is not the first time that Senator Taylor has taken unilateral action that runs inimical to unity and development within Bong County. Few months back the Bong County Senator unilaterally apportioned funds from the China Union Social Development Fund to Fuamah and Sanoyea districts without input from other members of the Bong County Legislative Caucus.
"The action by Senator Taylor is a clear indication that she is desperate to get re-elected in the mid-term elections. What is heartbreaking was that she is carrying out such machination when the county as a whole is faced with national calamity," Johnson said.
He reminded the Bong County Senator that such scheme will never lure citizens of the county in rescinding their decision to reject her re-election, because she has miserably failed to perform.
He also called on authorities of the county, including the Bong Legislative Caucus to prevail on Senator Taylor to account for the items donated by Accelar Mittal as it does not fall within her purview to distribute same, but rather the County Health Team.
The Senator could be reached for comments up to press time, but critics said she is not the only politician who has placed her photograph on donated anti-Ebola buckets to citizens.

Game Story:
In the beginning, Quillas, Father of Heaven, awoke from chaos to find that the universe was quite, vast and tedious. He then created thousands of unique worlds and separated them with boundaries. He plucked hair from his body and enchanted them with part of his power to make them gods with different capabilities. These gods were then sent to the different worlds as guardians and builders in his stead. None of these worlds was ever close to perfect and stable. The rise and fall of good and evil forces was breeding conflicts and crises. But Father of Heaven decided this should be the way, and after the order was initially established, he fell into long sleep again.
Our story unfolds in one of these worlds, Stilland, a magic world accommodating various creatures, including humans, elves, dwarves, giants, orcs, dragons, animals and evil forces with tremendous power. There was a short period of quiet time after the worlds came into being, when all forms of life lived in peace and harmony. However, as powers and desires swelled, struggles and conflicts, declared or not, came one after another, numerous wars bestowed different destinies upon the races. Some races vanished, while others rose; some allied with each other, while others continued endless fights; some dwelled atop high mountains, while others lurked into abyss seas...
Life breeds desire, and desire breeds strife.
War has never ceased, neither could it be.
( Background Story Concept)
During the past wars, an alliance between humans, wood elves and ravine dwarves, known as Phio Alliance, was gradually formed. Humans living in the world of Stilland established four kingdoms, Glance, Disarn, Weirgburg and Stalla. There are also human factions belonging to none of these kingdoms, like the bandits living on Pandar Prairie, who called themselves Pandar Hawk, and a zealot group known as Purple Twilight.
In the year 148 before Stilland Calendar, the chaotic orcs successfully persuaded the darkcliff dwarves and the gray elves into a sudden strike against the human kingdoms, Glance and Stalla. In consideration of self defense, Disarn and Weirgburg did not dispatch instant reinforcements, which almost led to the fall of their own kingdoms. The horrifying war lasted more than 100 years. In the end, with the help of wood elves and ravine dwarves, the humans drove the evil forces completely out of their territory. Witnessed by wood elves and ravine dwarves, the kings of the four survived kingdoms signed a treaty of alliance on Mount Phio, a holy mountain in the south of Stilland. The treaty stipulates that the kingdoms must form an alliance at war time and offer resource assistance mutually whether at war or in peace time. It also stipulates that upon the age of 14, princes must make a study tour to other kingdoms to promote mutual understanding and friendship.
The peak where the treaty was signed came to be known as Four King Peak afterwards. On that day, the four human kings, together with Iona, Queen of Wood Elves, and Kruel Hammer, King of Ravine Dwarves, blessed the land to celebrate the signing of the treaty. Therefore, the peak was recognized as a holy place by the Phio Alliance, and stationed by senior priests and elite soldiers all year round. In memory of this great moment, the human kingdoms which adopted different calendars in the past, decided to make this year the first year of the Stilland Calendar. The other races, although insisting on their own calendars, gradually came to recognize the universal status of the Stilland Calendar. Eventually, they began to use both the Stilland Calendar and their own to communicate with each other and record history.
(Glancer Concept)
After that, all races ushered in an era of peace and rest. There has been no major war since then, despite some minor conflicts.
As ages came and went, history sank into legend.
In the Stilland year of 656, Scott the Redneck, the ambitious young ruler of the chaotic orcs, backed up by the substantial properties inherited from his predecessors, plotted evil against the Phio Alliance for its vast territories, enormous wealth and powerful magic. He has even deployed forces in many places and started spy missions and tentative attacks against the alliance.
Meanwhile, the dark dragons took frequent actions against the humans. Evil and cruel, fark dragons are a mutated brood of dragons born after the ancient war between the dragons, known as Dragon's Cry. They have not only increased the number of their offspring, but also captured some slaves from the other races.
Apart from that, another force, more ancient and evil, is looming in the unseen corners.
While in the human realm, although people seemingly lead a peaceful life, abnormal and strange things often take place here and there. The relentless undercurrents seem to foretell the storms drawing near.
Not long ago, the Kingdom of Disarn has just lost their wise king, who died of old age. The kingdom now is ruled by the prince regent, since the prince is yet too young.
The queen of the Kingdom of Stalla died of a strange disease on her travelling tour, and the beautiful queen newly married to the king, is seemingly in harmony but actually at variance with the princes and princesses.
(Cold Wind Manor Concept)
The eldest prince of Glance, while on his study tour to the other kingdoms following the old tradition, oddly disappeared when travelling across Pandar Prairie from Disarn to Weirgburg. The king of Glance, shocked and furious, offered a generous reward for finding the prince. Disarn and Weirgburg, deeply embarrassed, are doing their utmost to offer their best assistance in the search.
Now, chance has come to you, a young adventurer growing up in Willshire situated in the countryside of Glance, who dreams of becoming a hero every day and night.

Instead, their marshmallow was covered from view, or they were given a pretend scenario to distract themselves with.
And the FBI does not want anything to distract the public from the critical task at hand.
The peace treaty was also a chance to distract from his interest in working to entrench Israel sovereignty over the West Bank.
mid-14c., "to draw asunder or apart, to turn aside" (literal and figurative), from Latin distractus, past participle of distrahere "draw in different directions," from dis- "away" (see dis-) + trahere "to draw" (see tract (n.1)).
Sense of "to throw into a state of mind in which one knows not how to act" is from 1580s. Related: Distracted; distracting; distractedly; distractedness.

This mod has been in development since 2007. Some major features are: Corpses of the fallen will now permanently stay, population caps have been increased, and new units. Each faction receives one hero unit, you can play with and against any faction, and there are Heroes, crazy stuff (like The Maus, Powell, zombies,...) can be activated or deactivated in the reward menu. It also contains an Infantry Only mode, Early war mode, No Pop-Cap mode, and Quick Start mode in the victory conditions. This mod is only for fun! If you are looking for complete realism, try another one.

great mod, damage system is reasonable, good variation for player whi don't want too seriously play, special unit and crazy stuff add more fun to play
Aug 26th, 2012 0 people agree 0 people don't
Awesome mod, could use some improvement though. Zombies should be able to infect other units and not just kill them. At some point it would be great for the zombies to be able to infect other units. In addition if factors that would make a player lose control over the zombies were to be included. This mod would be epic to no end.

Non-GAAP Abuser Of The Week - Merck
In my last Instablog I described how investors are having the wool pulled over their eyes with the proliferation of non-GAAP reporting. I made the case that because it is becoming so ubiquitous, references to market PEs are becoming useless and hide the fact that the market is extremely overvalued at this time.
This week, we saw Merck ($MRK) go full-tilt on non-GAAP reporting.
A review of Merck's earnings announcement exemplifies my point.
Q1 Non-GAAP EPS = 85 cents/share
Q1 GAAP EPS = 33 cents/share (-42% yoy)
2015 Non-GAAP EPS guidance = $3.35 to $3.48 (raised)
2015 GAAP EPS guidance = $1.58 to $1.85/share (reduced)
All the headlines read how the company did so well in the quarter, how outlook and guidance are so good, etc.
Stay tuned - it will be interesting to see how far companies go in the next few quarters to hide the deterioration of their earnings.Tags: MRK, Market Outlook

Not a week goes by that we don't see a few articles on investment sites and stories on CNBC and Nightly Business Report where some well-known financial figure is justifying why the markets are overvalued, undervalued, or just right. Invariably, most of the justifications have some basis in corporate earnings and PE vs. historical levels of earnings and PE.
The problem with these expert arguments is that they all tie back to EPS - company-reported EPS. This begs the question, what is "EPS"? We see two prevalent definitions of EPS these days:
1. GAAP EPS - this is EPS based on "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". If you read any company's income statement, this is what the bottom line EPS is.
2. non-GAAP/adjusted/pro forma EPS and EBITDA - these are what we call "Whatever the company would really like their reported-EPS to be at this time". The company will start with the bottom line GAAP EPS, then add back common expenses that they prefer not to include - thereby giving the ability to boost their reported earnings. In discussing non-GAAP EPS in his book Financial Shenanigans, Howard Schilit provides the following:
SEC Not Amused by Pro Forma Chicanery
The SEC has taken note of these schemes. In a March 2001 speech, the agency's chief accountant, Lynn Turner, attacked company disclosures that appeared to "turn straw into gold." He described how the fixation on corporate profits has led companies to move from reporting EPS (earnings per share) to creating the turbo-charged pro forma EBS - Everything but the Bad Stuff.
The company and analyst justification for reporting non-GAAP EPS is basically "these are one-time non-recurring expenses and don't give a true picture of the business operationally". Only problem is that these expenses occur every quarter and are in fact on-going/common/expected expenses that are part of the operations.
Where we run into more problems is that historically, companies did not widely report non-GAAP EPS - EPS meant GAAP EPS. It really was not until Internet Bubble (IB) 1.0 that the use of non-GAAP measures began to infiltrate Wall St. and the financial markets. We all know that valuations donned on most internet stocks of the period were bogus, and the use of non-GAAP measures provided a means to inflate many and have some justification. Though we have gone through the purging of IB 1.0, and the sock puppet has died, non-GAAP EPS has not only lived on, but it's thrived and is now the norm. When discussing EPS these days, it is almost a given that what is being discussed is non-GAAP/adjusted/pro forma EPS - AND THIS IS BAD!
What is bad is that analysts and financial "experts" are now using this concocted EPS in arriving at the proper PE ratio. If you have a bogus EPS, certainly you therefore have a bogus PE. Our contention is that across all the equity markets, we are looking at phony PE ratios and in actuality they are significantly higher. As a result, most of the US equity market is currently wildly overvalued and indexes deserve to be significantly lower.
One company we follow, that has consistently abused non-GAAP reporting is Speed Commerce ($SPDC). Take a moment to read through SPDC's recent earnings announcement - notice the liberal use of non-GAAP metrics everywhere with only a single, almost hidden reference to the GAAP EPS numbers. At the end of the earnings announcement, the company includes the boilerplate "Use of Non-GAAP Information" statement and they've washed the blood from their hands.
To summarize:
Tags: SPY, DIA, QQQ, Market Outlook
- Use of non-GAAP EPS is now more prevalent than ever
- Importance of GAAP EPS is being trivialized by the investment community
- Barometers and historical metrics used for determining company and market valuations are now ineffective because of the ubiquitous use of non-GAAP EPS
- As the economic recovery is maturing, financial engineering is becoming more widespread to mask weakening corporate performance
- At some point, we believe there is going to be "The Emperor has no Clothes" revelation and it will be followed by a massive "reset". When this happens, things are going to become very ugly for those companies that rely upon and emphasize the use of non-GAAP/adjusted/pro forma EPS reporting.
It's Time To Pull Back
To cut right to the chase, we're recommending extreme caution investing for the remainder of 2015. We see many red flags in the US and world economies, and believe the level of froth in the US equity markets is pushing the indexes into bubble territory.
Below are some of those red flags we see. We leave the thought and investigative process to the reader. Our belief is that each on its own requires caution. When taken together as a whole, it screams for extreme caution.
1. The entire world is now following the US lead of economic stimulus, taking actions similar to the QE and bond buying the Fed has done over the past few years and is now ending.
2. Most of the world also has a near-zero (or negative) interest rate policy attempting to drive domestic investment.
3. The Fed will give an interest rate increase by the end of 2015. The amount and timing of it is really of little importance, just that it will happen and signal that further rate increases will be following.
4. Oil will remain below $75 for an extended period, possibly years.
5. Earnings quality is falling, being bolstered by share repurchases and a good deal of financial engineering.
6. PEs are rising and there is not good justification for it.
7. Volatility has been increasing and we've been seeing wild swings in the US indexes.
8. Apple is now worth over $700 billion, is a holding of most mutual fund and professional investment portfolios, and has been added to the DJIA.
9. We have concerns about continued/blind money flows into index mutual funds.
The investor should read each of the above points and objectively consider what the implications are for the equity markets and individual companies he/she has invested in?
Yesterday, our concerns continued to be bolstered as we read the following article:
We've been trimming our portfolio over the past few weeks into market rallies because of our concerns. Our plan for the remainder of 2015 is to remain with a heavy cash bias while making select investments based on our approach of letting insider purchases guide us. We still see bargains in many small regional and community banks and believe the banking sector will be beneficiaries of the coming interest rate increases.
In conclusion, we believe that it's time to trim your portfolio and build cash. It's not a call to exit the market and it's not yelling fire in a crowded theater. It's a recommendation for each investor to take a look around, consider the gains you've taken out of the market over the past 6 years (have you taken gains or are they all paper gains?), and be extremely cautious in the near to intermediate term.Tags: SPY, DIA, QQQ, Market Outlook

I'm not a making a character specific face (Pantyshot's stick for example).

Lightning protection system design that can handle Malaysia's extreme lightning strength is crucial to maintain the reliability of the system. Therefore, system that classified the lightning characteristic by using neural networks needs to be provided to give the guidelines to obtain optimum protection system. The objectives were to classify lightning characteristics for peninsular Malaysia by using Neural Network System, to implement the design of the desired Neural Network System by using Microsoft Visual Basic in order to classify the region of Peninsular Malaysia into 9 region which are Southern, Center and Northern and to classify each of the classified region into 3 main current range which are High, Medium and Low. A neural network with back propagation training mechanism for classification was designed and trained to classify the latitude and longitude of the strike point in MS Access database. The proposed network classification results were used in the Graphical User Interface environment. The network was tested with random 7056 strike points that represent the 30% of the total data only. As a conclusion, the method was robust and flexible and can be easily extended to more database set. The network accuracies rate was approaching 97% with reasonable noise tolerance.

I've used Avast and Avira for a long time but recently switched to Bitdefender.
Bitdefender is the first AV I've EVER used that can actually quarantine and/or remove a freaking infection upon detection!
I've often thought about just how effective these things really are when most of them can't do a dang thing with an infection other than warn you about them. You usually need some other program to actually remove it!
Some of those AV programs listed on the poll are absolute junk though, such as ClamWin and AVG, to mention a couple and I can't stand the way MSE updates, even if it is a good product!

I don't really know who this girl is, but went to the link on
the Sun
and have to say, her make up is very odd! Her orange forehead matches her orange neck, but from eyebrow to chin she's an odd grey colour. Don't these people have mirrors? Or do they think that look is attractive?
And anybody spending £3000 on their 13yo child's party is just asking for trouble - how much will that increase exponentially by the time the child is 18? Good luck with that...!

Tampa Bay Lightning at Boston Bruins NHL Prediction
- Updated: March 11, 2015
Matchup: Tampa Bay Lightning at Boston Bruins
Date/Time: March 12, 7:00 p.m. ET
TV: NHL Network
NHL Betting Odds From BetOnline Sportsbook
Moneyline: Boston -115
Total: 5
The Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins are in similar situational spots on Thursday night. Coming off of big victories on Tuesday night, it's a letdown spot for both teams on NHL Network in this Eastern Conference battle. The Lightning pulled off a 1-0 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens to inch closer to the top spot in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins won as a road favorite at Ottawa to pick up two huge points in their quest to hold off Florida and Ottawa for the final playoff spot in the division. Early money has come in on the Lightning, who are a slight road underdog as of Wednesday evening.
For Tampa Bay, their win in Montreal was huge. The Lightning are 26-6-1 at home, but just 16-14-5 on the road this season. They have the conference's best goal differential because of how dominant they have been at home. Nobody has more regulation or overtime wins in the Eastern Conference than Tampa Bay with 40. They've now won four straight and seven of their last 10. That's three straight over the Canadiens this season and it's the start of a tough stretch with games against Boston twice, Detroit, Montreal twice, and Nashville. It's a good time to see what the Lightning are made of.
Tampa Bay is one of the league's scoring teams at even strength and their 3.3 goals per game rank first in the NHL. A big reason for that has been the play of their top six forwards. Tyler Johnson has 65 points in 66 games, while Steven Stamkos has 36 goals and 25 assists in his 68 games. Nikita Kucherov is a +34 with his 56 points and three other forwards have at least 45 points on the season. Ben Bishop has been very good in net with a 33-11-3 record, a 2.34 GAA and a .914 SV%. Backup Andrei Vasilevskiy is a great safety net and the Lightning are in excellent shape for a playoff run.
The Boston Bruins really struggle to score goals, but they are still stingy defensively and that's why they're in a position to make the playoffs for the eighth straight season. Both special teams units are a little bit above average, but the Bruins are eighth in goals allowed per game. They are 4-0-1 over their last five, so, like most good teams, the Bruins are hitting their stride at the right time. They have a very tough stretch over the next four days with games against Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, and Washington, so that adds some extra importance to this home game.
Patrice Bergeron is the only Bruins forward to crack the 40-point plateau so far this season, though seven other Bruins have chipped in at least 32 points. Brad Marchand's 22 goals lead the way, but there's no true star on this roster. Even Zdeno Chara seems to have taken a step back this season, in part due to the MCL injury he suffered early in the season. Tuukka Rask has seen a lot of shots this season en route to his 27-16-10 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .922 SV%. David Krejci is nearing a return from a partially torn MCL and he will add instant offense to the team if healthy.
Free NHL Picks: Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning are rolling right now and Boston's inconsistency is too much to ignore. The Bolts are better equipped for a turnaround like this and have so much more offensive skill than Boston. The Bruins are going to struggle against teams that can dominate the puck possession game and that's what Tampa Bay should have success with on Thursday night.
