After being one of the eight finalists on WWE T...
On his physique: "I eat all the time. I eat everything from chicken to steak to egg whites. I'm on the run all the time and if I stop at a restaurant, I order at least two omelets with chicken. I eat eight to 10 times a day. And I work out for three hours, with yoga and stretching, strength or weight training and conditioning. Everyone has different genetics, and I come from a larger family. Some people are built skinnier naturally. You just have to eat a lot and then work out."
On staying single to stay successful: "The WWE told me if I wanted to be the best, the best bet was to stay single and not start a family. I'm a loner and that is what I've given up to be what I am. I've had girlfriends, but at this point, I have to do what I need to do."
On how he came up with the name "Ryback": "Ryan was my first name, and when I was a kid, my friends called me Silver Back, which was my first wrestling name too. So, I came up with Ryback, which is my ring name now."

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie linebacker Jarvis Jones on the ground after making an interception against the Kansas City Cheifs (photo credit: Peter Diana/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) Pittsburgh Steelers rookie outside linebacker Jarvis Jones gave Steeler fans quite a scare on Saturday night being taken off the field on a gurney. After Jones intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' third preseason game against the Kansas City Cheifs, Jones laid out on the field leaving all of us to wonder if he was the next to be hit by the Steelers' rookie injury curse. Over the last year and a half the Steelers have lost six rookies to injuries including their top three picks in last year's draft and two from this year; running back Le'Veon Bell and cornerback Terry Hawthorne. Bell is currently out of commission with a foot injury that will keep him off the field for 6-8 weeks. So what was wrong with Jones? Jones got the wind knocked out of him. The rookie linebacker spent the night in the hospital and was back on the practice field the next day in high spirits looking to take the starting linebacker job from Jason Worilds. The former SEC Defensive Player of the Year and first round draft pick has been a turnover machine for the Steelers during this preseason. In three games Jones has a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and an interception (but it got taken away because of a pass interference penalty). Jones has yet to record a sack but he has made many plays in coverage and has gotten close on a number of occassions. The Steelers need a guy who is able to get pressure on the quarterback and is also able to cause turnovers. Jones might still be learning the complicated Dick Lebeau zone blizting scheme but throughout the preseason he has done nothing but make big plays. He will not play in the fourth preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday but the young linebacker has a strong chance to be one of the first rookies to start at outside linebacker for the Steelers. He would certainly be the first in the Dick Lebeau era. Jarvis Jones is a perfect fit the Steelers' defense and will become a star. The potential is there for Jones to be a perennial pro bowler in the NFL, the Steelers should start him and let him take the reigns and watch the defense get better as he matures within the NFL.

27 year old woman | Cleveland, OH, USA | Seeking men 25-40 within 50 miles
Make it four boilermakers !
I'm a fun loving woman with an open mind. I work in pediatric epilepsy doing EEG and intraoperative monitering ( brain mapping) for presurgical epileptic children as well as MEG testing. Yes i enjoy what i do! Looking for someone to laugh with and make me smile. I guess I would rather try and sell myself on here instead of nitpicking the type of men I've dated before or what I'm looking for now (obviously that hasn't worked out in my favor). I think it's easier to just sit down and talk with someone before you can judge if they are " what you want." Dont we all typically want the same things? I'm very sarcastic and can make anyone laugh! I love meeting new people and hate the awkward silence in a conversation. I'm a lover not a fighter! I'm somewhat of an old soul. I grew up living wit my grandparents and was encouraged to take on a great deal of responsibility at a very young age. I was lucky enough to graduate early from high school and college and have been in the medical field for 5 years. I'm young but well established looking for someone who Can make me smile!! A couple of randoms I can't stand the sound of another person eating I have to sleep naked with one leg out of the covers ( I feel like I'm being. Suffocated I don't know why) I hate socks they make your feet look weird I dont wear shorts nor do I own them Tell me jokes it's a shoe in In my eyes my papa is the smartest funniest man alive I could drive around for hours I can't sit still and talk during movies If you can't get the humor in this don't read anymore I consider myself left handed but only eat and write with my left hand. The thought of going to the dentist makes me pass out! I'm a fabulous cook- my mother can't boil water. I have a story for everything.

Some other viewpoint
I'm on here to meet new people I tend to go to the same old places. Mayfield area, willoughby, Tremont the usual places I guess
There's somethin about a guys hands that I love! 80 degree weather, trying new things, laughing until I cant breath, getting dressed up, people watching ( don't lie we all do it), traveling, food, the first drink of the night.
I enjoy traveling as much as I can! I grew up traveling the world with my mother and someday hope to retire doing the same. I love to cook !!... But I hate recipes
I'm not a big reader and don't really have time for it but I usually read the news online.

Davidson proud, persistent as Blues president
Updated: November 20, 2006, 3:03 PM ETBy George Johnson | Special to ESPN.com
Danger pay is nothing new to John Davidson.
Not for a man who worked on northern Alberta power lines in his teens, or verbally jousted Canadian hockey columnist Al Strachan during countless "Hot Stove Lounge" segments of "Hockey Night in Canada" telecasts.
But this this assignment just might beat them all.
"You know what bothers me," momentarily bristled the Blues' new president of hockey operations, "this obsession with our attendance figures. Look, facts are ...

After the retreat of the Penultimate Glaciations, giant panda's second population expansion happened and it reached its population peak between 30~50 thousand years (kyr) ago. The warm weather in the Greatest Lake Period (30~40 kyr ago) and alpine conifer forest may play an important role in the flourishing of the panda population. However, during the period of last glacial maximum (LGM), the climate was cold, dry, and inhospitable with frequent storms and a dust-laden atmosphere. Under such harsh environment, extensive panda habitats were loss and its second population bottleneck occurred.
The more recent panda population history showed that the panda population separated into Qinling (QIN) and non-QIN populations at about 0.3Myr ago, and then the non-QIN cluster diverged into two populations, the Minshan (MIN) and Qionglai-Daxiangling-Xiaoxiangling-Liangshan (QXL) at about 2.8 KYA ago. Subsequently, the three populations were different in the ways of fluctuation. For example, there was a drastic decline in the QIN, a slight increase in the MIN and a more remarkable growth in the QXL populations.
Researchers identified the signals of panda's local adaptation. They found the largest group of selected genes in these populations was related to sensory system. However, the two genes, Tas2r49 and Tas2r3, were associated with bitter taste and were under directional selection between the QIN and non-QIN populations, showing no signal of directional selection between MIN and QXL populations.
As a form of olfactory communication, odor perception is crucial for reproduction and survival

I love bacon
I also really like cheese. I didn't always like cheese, as a child i would only accept it on pizza and hamburgers or pasta. One of the great things about life is discovering something out of the blue; something that surprises you and catches you off guard, like the time i discovered the synergy of vanilla ice cream and pretzels or avocado and cream cheese. Like love, you can't really capture it or pursue it in a linear fashion; it simply happens to you as "evental" that can only retroactively be realized when the thought of your life without pretzels and ice cream is unimaginable. This line of thinking has me feeling a bit hungry and even though it has been said that "the way to a mans heart is through his stomach" I would like to assure you that there is more than an empty belly behind this tangled web of digital media marketing.

Ahoy matey...
First off, there's something you should know... I am a pirate. I have dreadlocks, a wooden leg, an eye patch, and a parrot named Snickers... We sail the seven seas looking for things we can plunder. I just wanted to disclose that because it may not be entirely obvious from my photos... I definitely need to update them... Okay, so maybe I don't really have a parrot named after a candy bar. At least, not at the moment. But recently, a bunch of college buddies and I chartered a sailboat and cruised around the Caribbean, enjoying the Leeward Islands, St. Bart's, Antigua, etc... We didn't plunder any Spanish galleons, but I got a good tan and a ton of awesome photos... When I'm back on dry land, I work in investments. I love the work, and I've gotten good at picking companies to work with. I've also gotten good at enjoying my time off. I have an awesome close-knit group of friends, and they keep me laughing until I'm at risk for organ failure. We might be at a fancy lounge drinking stiff cocktails, or getting beers at a sports bar. Yeah, I live in Boston now, but I was born in New York, and I'll always be a Yankees fan. I'm ready to argue about it, especially if there's a bottle of wine involved. I'm attracted to women who are laid-back and funny, who have a sense of adventure. Can you help me find my new favorite Middle Eastern restaurant, and then make me crack up while I'm trying to order a roasted leg of goat? Send me a message and let's chat...

I like Dogs
I've always wanted a dog and if I didn't travel so much for work, I would already have one. You'll have to ask if you want to know what kind.
I keep an overnight bag packed for spontaneous weekend trips to places with good food and fun energy: Austin, Miami, or to see old friends in Chicago. If I have more time, maybe sightseeing in London, or hiking in Iceland?
Good food, especially fried chicken and French pastries (my kryptonite). My friends. And there's almost nothing I like more than sitting out in the sun on a Sunday morning, reading the paper. Don't worry, I'll share the comics.
I recently started golfing, and my friends are teaching me how not to make a fool of myself on the fairway. If the weather's nice, I go out kayaking on the Charles. It's good exercise, but it's still relaxing at the same time.
Have you read Cryptonomicon or Pirate Latitudes? I just finished them both, and I could definitely talk about them over a good cup of coffee.

Most Helpful Opinion
Before anything else you might want to consider what it is about yourself that is attracting the crazies that want to marry so quickly. Any rational person would not want to get married so quickly but instead would want to get to know the person well enough to confidently say they want to spend the rest of their lives with them.
That's a good idea. I'll try to think about that.

Dark, twisted and beautiful, this entwines fairy-tale fantasy with war-movie horror to startling effect.
This is like no movie you've seen before, a haunting mixture of horror, history and fantasy that works simultaneously on every level.
This intense film, a mix of horror, fantasy, and history that convinces on all those levels and mixes them up with dizzying brio, is a searing cinematic experience, a beautiful, terrifying vision from writer-director Guillermo del Toro.
Pan's Labyrinth Like his terrific 2001 "The Devil's Backbone," Mexican horrormeister Guillermo del Toro's new movie offers us both real-life and fantastical monsters, and if you know his work, you won't waste time figuring out which to root for.
A brilliant work of the imagination capable of truly seizing and igniting our fantasies.
The result of the intricate interplay is a fairy tale for adults that is violent, sometimes shocking, yet utterly engrossing. And eerily instructive; it deepens our emotional understanding of fascism, and of rigid ideology's dire consequences.
A swift and accessible entertainment, blunt in its power and exquisite in its effects.
Unlike most horror movies, this chiller gives equal prominence to reality and fantasy, though the reality is far more frightening. The only precedent that comes to mind in terms of a lyrical treatment of a child's experience of terror is "The Night of the Hunter."
Del Toro's film ranks with the best examinations of children's inner lives, but be warned: Its haunting insights are best left to adults.
Nothing this year comes close to being as utterly unforgettable as Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, an extremely dark and disturbing fairy tale for audiences say, ages 12 and up.
Visually stunning, it meshes haunting images with a complex multilevel story about the enchantment of youth.
Del Toro never coddles the audience. He means us to leave Pan's Labyrinth shaken to our souls. He succeeds.
In tone, Pan's Labyrinth resembles a cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and H.P. Lovecraft, with some Buñuel thrown in for good measure. It is a tribute to - as well as a prime example of - the disturbing power of imagination.
Like the folk tales from centuries past, Pan's Labyrinth is a dark odyssey with nightmarish visions and cruel threats, but coming through the sacrifice and suffering is the childlike belief in magic and imagination that for Del Toro represents the hope and optimism of a happily ever after in this cruel world.
These creatures of the underworld are the fervid fabrications of del Toro's imagination: More than once they will catch you by surprise and make you gasp.
It leaves you feeling exhilarated at the invigorating power a well-told story, no matter its subject, can have. If you like Harry Potter, you will love this movie. If you don't like Harry Potter, you will still love this movie.
With this film, del Toro seems to have created his manifesto, a tour de force of cautionary zeal, humanism and magic. At this writing, Pan's Labyrinth is the best-reviewed film of 2006 listed on the movie review Web site Metacritic.com, and for a reason: It's just that great.
Like any great myth, Pan's Labyrinth encodes its messages through displays of magic. And like any good fairy tale, it is also embroidered with threads of death and loss.
We don't find out until the last scene how reality and fantasy intersect, when the meaning of the first shot of the film gets driven home. How many movies have you seen with a payoff like that?
With a surgical saw instead of a hatchet, del Toro takes apart patriarchy and opportunistic religion as well as fascism.
After two hours of dazzlingly fantastical images and stomach-turning gore, del Toro winds around, and finds his story's center.
This is a true fairy tale, and one of the finest fantasy pictures ever made, but please do not take your young children to see it unless you want them to be scarred for life.
With Pan's Labyrinth, Del Toro has made his most accomplished film to date, a dark and disturbing fairy tale for adults that's been thought out to the nth degree and resonates with the irresistible inevitability of a timeless myth.
The action scenes are exciting, the fantasy scenes are creative and the war scenes are brutal.
So smartly has del Toro thought his fable through, and so graceful is his grasp of visual rhyme, that to pick holes in it seems mean; yet Pan's Labyrinth is perhaps more dazzling than involving--I was too busy reading its runes and clues, as it were, to be swept away. It is, I suspect, a film to return to, like a country waiting to be explored: a maze of dead ends and new life.
Pan's Labyrinth artfully fuses a war film with a family melodrama and a fairy tale. The result is visually stunning and emotionally shattering.
The lack of family friendliness does not diminish what del Toro has achieved with this magical motion picture.
Suspended between the brutally graphic and flights of lyrical fancy, Pan's Labyrinth unfolds with the confidence of a classical fable, one that paradoxically feels both timeless and startlingly new.
The performers are all good with Baquero poised and beautiful as Ofelia and Verdu vital and spirited as the rebellious Mercedes. Lopez gives an extraordinary performance as the bestial captain, an irredeemable villain to rank with Ralph Fiennes' Nazi in "Schindler's List."
There's plenty of blood -- both literal and figurative -- coursing through the veins of Pan's Labyrinth, a richly imagined and exquisitely violent fantasy from writer-director Guillermo del Toro.
His palette here is deep-toned, with bottomless blacks and supersaturated oranges and blues--as if the Walt Disney of "Pinocchio" had collaborated with Goya.

Visually stunning, I found that the violence perfectly underscored the horrors of war, especially those horrors having been seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old girl. Some may say that the characters were underdeveloped, with Mercedes adopting the "Good Guy" and the Captain being the classic villian archtype, but one must remember that this is a story seen through the eyes of a young girl. All adults, to children, are either good, or bad. And to the people griping about the film being unsuitable for children, well, it's rated R for a reason.… Full Review »

This is a cute box but a pretty restrictive item as not everyone has the equipment to make this. I will give it a shot without and see how it goes. The mistletoe is a very cute idea. I will try to find a photo and see what I can come up with, otherwise mine will likely be holly and bead berries.

2008 Scion xB Problems
An illuminated Check Engine Light could be caused by a defective VVT-i controller, which changes cam timing for optimal power. Updated parts are available and the repair may be covered under the powertrain warranty.
When backing up and applying the brakes, you may hear a squeaking noise. Scion engineers addressed this problem by modifying the shape of the brake pad and the anti-squeal shims; they also applied more grease during assembly.
Vehicles fitted with remote start may encounter a dead battery after sitting for a few days. This can be due to a parasitic draw caused by the remote start computer. Our technicians remind us proper diagnostic procedures should be followed before replacing the remote start module with an updated part.

2008 Scion xB Recalls
Toyota and General Motors are recalling certain models because the power window master switch assembly in some of these vehicles was built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assembly. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat. This could result in the switch melting or possibly catching fire. Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the master window switch as necessary.
These vehicle were sold without the required load carrying captivity modification label. Dealers will mail the corrected label to vehicle owners. Owners have the option of requesting that the dealer install the label. This recall is expected to begin on May 27, 2010.
Southeast Toyota is recalling 2005–2011 models for failing to comply with federal safety standards on tire selection and rims. Affected models were sold without the proper load-carrying capacity modification labels, which may cause the driver to overload the vehicle, increasing the chance of a crash. Dealers will mail the correct labels to the customer or install the label free of charge.
2008 Scion xB Reviews
Best car on the market for the money. Roomy, plenty of power. Has Camry engine, could use Camry transmission for better mileage.
Worst car I have ever owned. Needed new tires after 20k miles. Automatic door locks broke at 35k, brakes gone at 45k, and A/C gone at 47k. Regardless of the crap parts they put into these cars their gas mileage is pretty poor for a 4 cylinder engine, the suspension feels like a Flintstone mobile and road noise is terrible.
Bought XB new in o8' best buying experience ever. Makes me feel like a young guy again. Very competent getting on the freeways, making the curves, is a blast. Added a TRD high performance muffler and cold air intake manifold, after market from Toyota. Still gives great gas mileage and better performance. Only wish it had is a regular clock in the dashboard.

New Data Presented at the Meeting Report the Use of Haptoglobin Typing to Predict Cardiovascular Risk, and Benefit From Tight Glycemic Control in Diabetics
MONTVALE, N.J., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synvista Therapeutics, Inc. (Amex: SYI) today announced at the Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, underway in New Orleans, that a new clinical test to determine haptoglobin (Hp) genotype utilizing intellectual property licensed from Synvista is now available. Knowledge of Hp genotype may help physicians to assess cardiovascular risk and guide treatment choices in their patients with diabetes. Several presentations relating to the Company's technology are being delivered during the Scientific Sessions, including one showing that older individuals with diabetes mellitus and the Hp2-2 genotype (Hp2-2 Diabetes) demonstrate a significantly higher mortality rate from cardiovascular disease than those who do not have the Hp 2-2 genotype; and another demonstrating that tight glycemic control reduces the incidence of heart attack (myocardial infarction - MI) only in Hp2-2 Diabetes.
The test, which was developed and validated by ARUP Laboratories, will be performed under a license agreement with Synvista in ARUP's CLIA-certified laboratory. In addition, Synvista has developed its own test utilizing different technology than ARUP which it intends to market as a diagnostic kit after submitting a 510(k) to, and obtaining clearance from, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
"We are extremely pleased that our intellectual property will have a
role in making personalized medicine a reality," said Noah Berkowitz, M.D.,

But Hermann says that the law has very little to do with terrorism. "They're using the terrorist term as a weapon against political opponents," he says.
The monarchy claims that Swazi people don't want a Western-style democracy, that it's incompatible to Swaziland tradition. The king does remain popular with the masses, but cracks in his support are beginning to show.
While the rule of law under King Mswati may be traditional, the lifestyle of the royal family is decidedly modern – and lavish. He reportedly has as many as 14 wives and more than 30 children. Royal protocol makes it impossible to know exactly how much money the royal family has and how it is being spent, but according to the Freedom House's "Countries at the Crossroads" report last year, the king requested state funds to purchase a private jet and build new royal palaces for his wives.
He is known to own several luxury cars including a Daimler Chrysler Maybach, worth about $700,000. Earlier this year Princess Sikhanyiso, King Mswati's eldest daughter, was number 20 in Forbes Magazine's "20 Hottest Young Royals" list, sharing the title with Britain's Princes William and Harry, among others.
The magazine compiled the list by ranking "international Web and media presence as well as family wealth." Though she has spoken out in the past against some Swazi traditions, like polygamy, she also benefits from her position. Unlike most college age kids in Swaziland, she is able to acquire schooling abroad and currently studies at Biola University in California.
But some Swazis are beginning to publicly question King Mswati's extravagance. Last September, the king celebrated his 40th birthday and the nation's 40 years of independence by throwing a nationwide party reportedly costing more than $10 million.
A month prior the local press reported that nine of the king's wives had chartered a plane to go on a shopping trip to Europe and Dubai.
Both instances sparked protests by activists who said the money could be better spent improving the lives of Swaziland citizens, some of the poorest in the world.
Life for ordinary Swazis is by most accounts extremely hard.
The country boasts the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world. In 2005 the Swazi Ministry of Health released a survey finding that nearly half the country was infected with disease. The numbers have fallen recent in years, but still today more than a quarter of adult Swazis are living HIV/AIDS. But they aren't living long -- the disease has devastated the population, with the average life expectancy rate at 32 years old. More than 70 percent of Swazi citizens live in poverty, a sharp contrast to the life of the royal family. That is something more and more Swazis, who are struggling to survive, are noticing.
"People I talked to say that the former king didn't live such a lavish lifestyle, at least not publicly" says Hermann. "Ordinary Swazis are beginning to ask: where in our tradition does it say the king needs to drive a Rolls Royce?"

Hi, I am looking to buy backup buddy plugin but I have a question before doing so. I want to be sure it can accomplish what I need to do. I created a site at www.groupeespaces.ca and it is in french. I created a network multi-site and added a new site as a sub/directory at www.groupeespaces.ca/en I want to copy the main site www.groupeespaces.ca to the new site www.groupeespaces.ca/en so that I can build the english from the exact replica of the french and not from scratch as it is right now. I already tried the plugin blog copier but as you can see from the image here : http://www.juliecloutier.com/network_images/blogcopier_trouble.jpg
It does not let me use the root www.groupeespaces.ca as the source blog to copy from.
Can backup buddy do this ?

Multisite functionality with BackupBuddy is in beta so is not officially supported and although you may use it you are not advised to do so on any mission-critical site or on any production (live) site that you do not have the technical knowledge or ability to troubleshoot and fix if any unusual issues occur - you can find additional information here: BackupBuddy Multisite - IThemes Codex
In particular (and specific to your question) BackupBuddy Multisite beta capability does not support exporting the main site for subsequent import to duplicate the site.
I hope this provides the information that you need but if you require any further clarification please let us know, thanks.
