Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight claimed he was punched by Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace during Sunday's game. World Peace was hit with a flagrant foul 1 after getting tangled up with Knight during a game the Lakers won 98-97. But Knight suggested the penalty should be more severe. "The play needs to be reviewed because he definitely threw a punch," Knight told reporters after the game. "It felt like he threw a punch. That's why I reacted the way I did. "The play was over and he grabbed me around the neck. If someone grabs you around the neck, you're not just going to let that happen. You do what you need to get that person off you." Play was stopped while officials assessed the situation, and they decided to call a flagrant 1 foul. "He's a small guy," World Peace said after the game, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com "(Knight) was trying his hardest to keep me off him. He worked hard, man.

//------------The .rmf of the mod maps.------------//
------------------ ----------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------
0 comments by tun3TT on Oct 21st, 2012
I am working at this mod in my spare time so it will be a short mod.
There will be no demo, just the full game which i hope it would be ready in December. The mod will be short but I hope it will be a good, short and enjoyable experience.
//------------The .rmf of the mod maps.------------//
A short campaign for about 20 minutes of playing(6 maps). It works on Steam or Non-steam.
i got stuck on the third test.
it is impossible.
Its not that bad.
You simply have to be quick enough to push the box to block the door.
how do you get through the part where you get the pistol? im confused
im stuck on the same part -_-
I know, right? Someone better release a walkthrough soon.
Is the 2:57 am here in Argentina, i couldnt stop playing this mod until finish. Is really fun. Is simple but with an smart design.Good mapping.
Enemys well distributed aaand i like the fact when you find a guard (barney) you have to shoot first (making a head shot preferably), because if he see you, he shoot so so fast and...you are dead.
I give you an 8,5. Is a very good MOD!!.
Thanks for make this. Congratulation!!!! :)
Very good spirit based mod with portal-ish overtones.
good mod , you have to make it more longer
Finally it's released. Gonna play it now.
What a fantastic mod this was..
Good mapping, lightning, architecture & nice texture choices as well as good voice sequences.
Pity that the puzzle parts ended so far. The fights were ok. Short mod but very enjoyable. It felt very portal like early on and that has to mean something. Hope to see more mods from you in the future.
Thanks! I wanted to make it longer, but I don't have enough time. In the future i might make a longer mod, but not alone.
Highest Rated (2 agree) 8/10
Okay I will start out to say that the mapping was brilliant. It really felt like mapping that really belongs to a puzzle mod. I certainly liked the custom speaker voice. Pros and cons.
amazing mapping
nice sequencing
astounding enemy placement
clean running and no crashes
way too short
the one test with the barrel
Overall, this mod gets an 8/10. It's amazing for a first mod. Keep up the good work hlengine. :)

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is thousands of years old and has changed little over the centuries. As a complete system of health care, Chinese medicine's basic concept is that a vital force of life surges through the body (also called Qi). Any imbalance to this life force can cause disease and illness, according to Chinese medicine. The imbalance, in turn, is caused by an imbalance in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the life force called yin and yang.
TCM is over 5,000 years old, and traces its roots back to the ancient Taoist philosophy. Ancient Chinese believed that humans are microcosms of the larger, surrounding universe, and are interconnected with nature and subject to its forces. Balance between health and disease is a key concept of this perception, and TCM treatment seeks to restore this balance through treatment specific to the individual.
To regain balance, the belief is that the balance between the internal body organs and the external elements of earth, fire, water, wood, and metal must be adjusted.
Treatment to regain balance may involve:
Moxibustion (the burning of herbal leaves on or near the body)
Cupping (the use of warmed glass jars to create suction on certain points of the body)
Herbal remedies
Movement and concentration exercises (such as tai chi)
TCM practices traditionally involve these steps to assess a person's condition: observation (especially the tongue), hearing or smelling, asking or interviewing, and touching or palpating (especially the pulse).
Acupuncture is a component of TCM in Western medicine and is considered to be established in certain settings because it has received the most study. Some herbal treatments used in TCM can function as medications and may have serious side effects. In 2004, for example, the FDA banned the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra due to complications, such as heart attack and stroke. Ephedra is a Chinese herb used in dietary supplements for weight loss and performance enhancement. However, the ban does not apply to TCM remedies or to herbal teas.
If you are thinking of using TCM, a certified practitioner is your safest choice. The federally recognized Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) accredits schools that teach acupuncture and TCM, and about one-third of the states that license acupuncture require graduation from an ACAOM-accredited school. The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine offers separate certification programs in acupuncture, Chinese herbology, and Oriental bodywork.
TCM should not be used as a replacement for traditional treatment, especially for serious conditions, but it may be beneficial when used as complementary therapy. Since some TCM herbal medications can interfere or provoke toxicity when combined with Western medications, you should inform your doctor if you are using TCM.

Mary McElroy's smile was ever so beautiful to behold according to William Reddig's still-popular book about Kansas City's Boss Pendergast era - Tom's Town (1947). She was a tall, big-boned, plain-looking woman with large eyes, a wide mouth and radiant smile. She was her father's shadow and the apple of his eye, and he was Henry McElroy, City Manager of Kansas City, the most powerful man in the city other than shrewd Boss Pendergast, the biggest political boss in the nation - bigger even than Boss Tweed.
The old city council of aldermen used to have two houses - an upper house and a lower house, with a total of thirty-two members - which the two Democratic factions, the Goats and Rabbits, managed to control under a split-the-spoils, fifty-fifty deal. In the winter of 1924-1925, reformers who wanted to rid the city of the boss system drafted and managed to get adopted a nonpartisan charter to reconstruct the city council into a single body with only nine council members, the Mayor being the presiding member. The council, in turn, hired an expert administrator to serve as City Manager.
The so-called nonpartisan structure actually simplified Tom Pendergast's job - it was easier for him to control a council of nine politicians than a council of thirty-two members. The appointment or council "election" of the City Manager had foregone conclusions - he was not really the Council's hired man. For instance, Mary and the council members got quite a laugh when, in 1938, her dad was nominated for the last time: he jumped up to give his acceptance speech before it occurred to him that the nomination had not yet been seconded.
Mary called her dad "Old Boy," but most Kansas Citians called him "Judge" McElroy. He sat on the Jackson County Court (county commission) since 1922 as a judge (county commissioner) from time to time. Another Pendergast man, Harry S. Truman, the future U.S. senator and president, served on the county court with Judge McElroy for awhile. Together they restored the authority of the Goat faction and ran the court like a business, adding to its prestige with their accomplishments.
Judge McElroy was pleased to follow Harry Truman's good advice on many occasions when they sat together on the court. After a margin of 200 votes in November 1925 gave the Democrats control of Kansas City, which they would retain for thirteen years Judge McElroy was appointed City Manager, and the first thing he did was dispose of the nonpartisan tomfoolery and anounced that the Democrats were in charge.
Mary shadowed her father at City Hall, at dedications, and on business trips. Her father's detractors were quick to point out that he was a vindictive despot; they did not mention his soup kitchen on the East Side or the poor folk who got hand outs from him at City Hall.
As far as Mary was concerned, her dad could hardly do any wrong. Not that she was a yes-woman: She was a rebel. He encouraged her to run free, but she never strayed afar. She imitated her dad: she was proud, independent and somewhat self-reliant although socially awkward and unsure of herself in public as she tried to strike a sophisticated pose next to her great father. She knew that machine life had its seamy side, that power corrupts, that the human species can be vicious; wherefore bossism, in her estimation, was a necessary evil, and the despotism of her father was warranted: he was simply a hard-headed realist, a Pendergastian or Goat Democrat who, as they all said of The Boss, "got things done."
Bossism was a modern version of the ancient patronage system. It was based, first of all, on friendship. Friends are loyal. Friends exchange favors. Ingratitude is a mortal sin. Patrons provide bread and circus - in downtown Kansas City, that meant plenty of booze, narcotics, floozies and jazz rifts. Napoleon had the right idea: give people what they want as long as they are obedient, while taking them for all you can get. Party organizations were made necessary by the mass politics of universal suffrage, and arose from local roots up to presidential politics.
We are familiar with the story. Cities had the greatest voting power and city bosses bought votes, sometimes several votes from each citizen, alive or dead. Heads were cracked to keep the voters lined up in the right line. There was plenty of booze even if it was prohibited. Patrons vied for power; political patrons allied themselves with godfathers and such. Boss Pendergast made his alliances in order to keep Al Capone out of town and to satisfy his gambling addiction. The Pendergast dynasty was established by Alderman Jim Pendergast from the proceeds of a horse race; Tom Pendergast wound up gambling on every horse race in the country in a single day, and what he did to cover his losses got him busted for income tax evasion.
Mary McElroy certainly knew about Kansas City's wild side, and she knew that her dad was the best man around. And we know that some men can keep themselves clean while working with political machines. As far as we know, Harry S. Truman was independent, honest, and squeaky clean, although he could have cleaned up to the tune of millions of dollars while sitting on the county court alone. Pendergast let well enough alone because Truman's honesty handed him a goodly portion of rural Jackson County on a platter. He backed Truman for U.S. Senator, and we know the rest. And President Truman was no ingrate: he was true to his friend Pendergast when The Boss was disgraced by backstabbers whom he had put into power - everybody "decent" was distancing themselves from him.
That is the way it was in those days, and some old folks look back upon them as fondly as many of us look back on the Sixties. Yes, those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end. That was when Tom Pendergast "got things done" and people had plenty of fun, so much so that reformers thought law and order had completely broken down.
City Manager McElroy certainly got things done too. His daughter had good reason to idolize him. Even the so-called nonpartisan but Republican Kansas City Star praised him, not realizing they would have to eat some crow when a huge deficit was uncovered along with the Water Leak among other things after the Depression boom.
Water leak? An engineering firm was paid $5,000 a month for looking for water leaks, but that job consisted of submitting bills for unperformed an service: $356,500 was paid out.
Depression boom? Yes, Kansas City was doing relatively great during the Depression. McElroy had proceeds from the 1931, $32 million (Kansas City's share) Ten-Year-Bond at his disposal, as well as his magic "Country Bookkeeping System" that involved an "Emergency Fund" on the side - not taken from the bond fund - which made old debts disappear and Rabbits willingly appear to side with the Goats amongst other things. Civic-minded Boss Pendergast had as much ready-mixed concrete as money could buy from his concrete company, and his Machine had ample labor to provide to civic causes.
As Kansas Citians can well imagine from the current traffic, roads were a fundamental consideration back then too, hence men were put to work on them - they were advised to leave the paving and other machines behind to increase the demand for labor. There were other products of the Great Depression building boom, the results of which we can still tour as we tick them off. City Hall, Jackson County Court House, Police Headquarters, Power & Light Building, Nelson Art Gallery. And many more.
Mary was especially proud of her dad's Municipal Auditorium and his fostering of the new air-age at Wheeler Airport. Indeed, legend has it that Henry McElroy fell in love with Kansas City as he looked out over the Bottoms from Quality Hill: wherefore some time later he had cleared an observation area there. A woman held out: she wanted $5,000 for her house; the city offered $1,000; she refused; she came home one day to discover her home was not at home! the house had mysteriously disappeared and was never seen since.
We can hardly blame the City Manager's daughter for basking in the glory of her father's deeds. He was really something. He thought a lot of himself too. He claimed that his work was the model for the make-work approach to economic depression, the acclaimed WPA program of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration. McElroy might have been right to take credit for its origination in the boosting Heart of America. Roosevelt certainly knew what was going on in Kansas City. Pendergast was a national power broker. He knew Roosevelt and had thrown Missouri's delegates his way at the convention. Alas, Roosevelt and his federal money trough eventually spelled the end of the machine system. And, among other things, he had Tom busted and hustled off to prison. The machine was flying apart with the continuing investigations. City Manager McElroy put up a hell of a fight, but he eventually stepped down. He died before he could be indicted. Of course Mary was by his side.
Mary never married. She flowered with her dad and approached spinsterhood. She was seen at functions. She stood apart and was rather inept socially speaking. She was somewhat of a rebel - her dad let her have her run, but she did not stray afar. She was seen in the company of men, but none stuck. She was given to dark moods after she was kidnapped in, May of 1933. She had hit it off with her kidnappers, and could not stand the thought of their imprisonment and the death penalty one of them drew.
The kidnappers numbered four. Walter McGee and Clarence Stevens entered the McElroy house, waiting for Mary's brother to show up - he was the intended victim - while Clarence Click and George McGee stayed at the hideout. When Mary's brother did not arrive, the kidnappers went upstairs to kidnap her instead, assuming that she must be a little girl. But she was 25 and was taking a bubble dress. Of course she was frightened, but she soon recovered her composure and asked for some privacy to get dress. They complied, so she donned a pink frock, tan hose, and a white summer shoes, accompanied them to the car, and sat on the floorboard as they drove away to the hideout on Clarence Click's farm near Shawnee The young men conversed pleasantly with her along the way, probably glad to have her for company.
Mary was handcuffed by the left wrist to a wall in a garage under a small frame house. The kidnappers were polite and friendly. They brought some clean sheets, an electric light, a radio, food. She was held for less than two days. George McGee, a former medical student who had fallen on hard times, was her guard and her favorite kidnapper. In fact the kidnappers and their victim were so mutually pleased that Mary said she would recommend them as kidnappers, and they said they would recommend her as a kidnap victim. A ransom note asking for $60,000 had been left behind at the McElroy home - they settled for $30,000, and released her
"It would be foolish to say that I felt no fear at all. At the same time I felt sure that any one of the four men I saw would have been ready to protect me against any other person or danger," Mary said in an interview. "It is because I knew that and felt that they were not bad at heart that I would hate to see them sent to the penitentiary. I would fight to keep them in such a fate."
They grabbed the wrong girl, the devoted daughter of the most powerful man around excepting The Boss himself, and they were not about to get away with it. Clarence Stevens escaped but the others were nabbed forthwith. She visited them, and rumors were bandied about as usual. She did not want to testify against them, but her father convinced her that it was the right thing to do, so she complied. Clarence Click got 8 years, George McGee got life, and Walter McGee the death penalty.
It was questionable at the time whether the death penalty could be applied to kidnappers as well as murderers. The case was appealed; the jury's sentence was upheld. Mary was devastated and fell into a deep depression. Her father complained that the strain had ruined her health. They vacationed in Europe, gave the fascist salute to Mussolini, and so on, but she despaired again upon their return to the Heart of America. In February of 1935 she hopped on a bus with twenty cents and a pack of cigarettes, and disappeared until she was spotted in Illinois and brought home.
Kansas City Star reporter Conwell Carlson interviewed her. She said she just had to get away from the city, where she was seen as the City Manager's kidnapped daughter. She suffered from nightmares about the kidnappers' fate.
"I cannot forget them," she said. "I cannot get away from the feeling for the underdog." Mary set to work on her powerful father to get the death sentence commuted by the governor. She was not a political activist but she was on the side of the sick and oppressed - she felt that help should come from individuals, by means of personal kindness. She had no political reservations about the legal system. She figured the sentences were just as they stood, that the death penalty should be applied to kidnappers as well as murderers, but she wanted mercy in this case. Her father was opposed at first, but he eventually caved in and they went to see Governor Park in Jefferson City.
"In pleading for Walter McGee's life," reads her plea for clemency, "I am pleading for my own peace of mind. Through punishing a guilty man, his victim will be made much to suffer equally. He would not even have this advantage: he would not have to think about his execution afterwards. I do not forget the suffering this has brought in many ways to many people. Walter McGee's death will not erase nor ease the suffering. Rather, I believe the mercy shown him, and the feeling of warmth and hope any act of mercy brings, will serve as balm to all."
Governor Park, after pressure was applied by Henry McElroy, and being assured that mercy would not detract from the death penalty precedent for kidnappers, commuted the sentence. Mary's spirits revived, and she continued her work for the welfare of her imprisoned friends and their families.
I very much regret to say that Mary's life had a tragic end. As the Pendergast machine fell in 1939, she was hurt to the quick by the harsh criticism of her visionary father, who had, after all, gotten so much done for the people of Kansas City. At age 72, Judge McElroy had a heart condition and eye trouble. He went to St. Mary's hospital for a cataract operation, came home, and was cared for by Mary until he died, leaving her alone, virtually a spinster. On a wintry day in January of 1940, Mary wanted to shake off the doom and gloom, so she invited some friends over for a party. They demurred. She fixed her something something to eat and drink and retired to the sun room to read. It was two degrees below zero outside early in the morning when she shot herself to death. She left a note.
"My four kidnappers are probably the only people on earth who don't consider me an utter fool. You have your death penalty - so - please - give them a chance. Mary."
Notes on Bossism:
"(Franklin Delano Roosevelt) destroyed the old-time boss. He destroyed him by taking away his source of power.... The old boss was strong simply because he held all the cards. If anybody wanted anything - jobs, favors, cash - he could only go to the boss, the local leader. What Roosevelt did was to take the handouts our of local hands. A few little things like Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, and the like - that's what shifted the gears, sport. No need now to depend on the boss for everything. The Federal Government was getting in on the act, otherwise known as social revolution." Edwin O' Connor, The Last Hurrah
From: Herbert Hoover by Eugene Lyons, Garden City: Doubleday 1964
By 1936 relief scandals, evidence of manipulation of projects for vote-getting, exploitation of distress by a swollen bureaucracy to enhance its own power, were a matter of common knowledge. Charges of extravagance and corruption had become almost routine under federalized relief. Hoover often cited examples of the waste inherent in the new system:
Recently I had the opportunity to observe comparative morals in the spoils system by a contrast between Tammany Hall and the New Deal. In a Tammany-dominated borough in New York in early 1933, before the New Deal, there were about 11,000 persons on relief. Tammany had appointed about 270 additional officials under their particular spoils system to manage relief at a cost of $30,000 a month for the officials. This job was taken away from wicked Tammany influence and directly administered by the New Deal.
At a recently date there were in the same borough 2,000 federal officials appointed under the New Deal spoils system at a cost of $300,000 per month for salaries to manage 16,000 persons on relief. Tammany may learn something new in the spoils system. It was only 10 percent efficient. And the same thing is going on all over the country.

Tuesday July 4th ECW on Sc-FI: Philadelphia, PA
I would push this for a about a week or two that ECW is coming home to the city that helped start a revolution. The Announcers recap the tag team tournament and because of issues that were out of the control of ECW Management they were forced to allow one team a bye and Daivari & Khali got that right. Danny Doring & Roadkill def. Basham Brothers (Doring pins Doug) Khali & Daivari are watching the match, Elijah Burke def. local talent, Tim Arson vignette, Sandman def. Zombie, William Regal def. Rene Dupree, Tommy Dreamer comes out and he says "he accepts the challenge Punk laid down for better competition last week and is calling Punk out." Punk walks out and he says "You misunderstood me Tommy, I did ask for better competition but I didn't say when I wanted to fight. I will not be fighting in this wasteland of a city, full of parasites & delusional alcoholics; I unlike you and your old "ECW Originals" am above degrading myself and giving these idiots a better show they deserve." Punk turns to walk out but then Ray Gordy & Rob Conway attack Tommy Dreamer and then Punk and Mr. X hit the ring also making it 4 on 1. Out of nowhere comes ECW Originals (Sabu, Sandman, RVD, Balls Mahoney, Super Crazy, & Johnny Swinger) as they run off the heels.
Tuesday July 11th ECW on SC-FI:
Paul Heyman comes out and says "It seems as though over the course of the last few weeks certain ECW Originals have been having problems with a certain newcomer. Well we have a ppv coming up I believe it's called SummerSlam. What we will have is a Tag Team match if Punk's team wins he gets to fight Rob Van Dam at Survivor Series in November. But if Punk's team loses he will face the team member from the Originals that gets the winning pin fall at Survivor Series in November. Ray Gordy def. a local talent, Tim Arson vignette, William Regal def. Rene Dupree (Post Match: Rene attacks William Regal and leaves him lying on the mat), Kenny Dykstra def. Special E, Great Khali & Daivari vs Danny Doring & Roadkill is announced for SummerSlam, Announcers hype Main Event of Tommy Dreamer vs Mr. X, Basham Brothers def. John Strom & Phil Smith (Danny pins Phil), Mr. X def. Tommy Dreamer (Mr. X won off the distraction from CM Punk who came out on stage was provoking Tommy Dreamer)
Tuesday July 18th ECW on SC-FI:
Tommy Dreamer comes out and challenges CM Punk to a match later tonight. Dreamer is giving Punk the rest of the night to answer or he will go back and fight him back there. Great Khali w/ Daivari def. Roadkill w/ Danny Doring (Post Match: Daivari talks about how dominate The Great Khali is and says that we should fear The Great Khali and thought of them becoming ECW World Tag Team Champions. Sabu def. Rob Conway (Post Match: Conway attempts to attack Sabu but is stopped and they are fighting but then Ray Gordy & Mr. X run down to help Conway only to be stopped by Balls Mahoney & Sandman and now a big brawl is breaking out in the arena between Punk's group and the ECW Legends. Punk shows up on screen and says "I am the hottest commodity in wrestling right now because I am different and I don't let people tell me no, if I want something I take it. No matter the opposition I will be taking the ECW World Championship and there is nothing any of your heroes can do about it even Tommy Dreamer.
I apologize for that lack of parts of this How I would book it but it's just that time of year and I have been pretty busy with a lot of things, but I will try my hardest to get another part out very soon. Thanks again all of the support.

Can a 7VTXE+(gigabyte) survive as a gamer board?

If my memory is correct, Gibby, Serath, and I have owned Gigabyte boards in the past. Of my experiances, they're decent, reliable, and stable for the most part.
My only problem with Gigabyte boards is they seem to revise their designs much more often and which each board revision, there's usually a few new features. For example, a few weeks after I bought a GA-5AX, the 3rd revision came out which sported better AGP compatiblity and ATA66. My GA-5AX was Rev. 2.1 which only gave me ATA33.
I no longer use Gigabyte boards but I keep my eye on them as I haven't been totally disappointed with them. It's just I've learned that it isn't good sense to buy a 1.x or 2.x revision of their boards. It's best to give them 6-8 months to see if they revise the board more than 3 times before you purchase that way you'll get more features and possibly more reliability. If a Gigabyte board isn't up to it's 3rd revision after that 6-8 month period, then it's an indication that they've hit a homerun with it right out of the gate.

Dear John:
Moving from a residence Where you have been for the last 27 years to a condo would seem to be a near impossible if not a difficult situation. I must tell you that your personal attention and the wonderful people that you have working for you made this a truly painless operation.
As you might imagine, we contacted several moving agents in regard to our move. I got the impression from the other agents we met with that there was always something afoot that we were not aware of. Quite frankly, I asked you to do this move for us as I had the distinct feeling that you were someone that we could trust. My instincts are most always never wrong and were so right in this case.
Just take the day last week when we were bringing our furniture from your storage facility to our condo. Here We had a piece of furniture that would not go into the room we wanted it to go into, as it would not fit from the interior hallway. As you know, we had to quickly arrange for a pane of glass to be removed and to call your people back to insert this piece of furniture through a vacated window. The logistics with the glass company and your office would seem to be impossible but by 10:00 A.M. the next morning everything was in place and we could not be more pleased.
I hope that you do not take offense by the fact that I call you John. However, your kind personality and always willing to bring our help with whatever we needed, to me means that you are a real friend.
Thank you again for your wonderful service and making what for us would have been a very traumatic situation, one that we found to be completely painless.
I hope you will be able to share this with your staff and to convey to them that they are really one of your best assets.

İstanbul Başakşehir F.K.
|Full name
|İstanbul Başakşehir FK
|Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium,
|Abdullah Avcı
|Süper Lig
|Süper Lig, 4th
|Club home page
İstanbul Başakşehir Futbol Kulübü, formerly called İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor or Istanbul BB in its abbreviated form, is a Turkish football club. They play their home games at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul and is owned by the Municipality of Istanbul. The club was founded in 2014. Club's former name was ISKI SK and owned by Municipality's water distribution company. ISKI SK competed in Regional Amateur Football League in 1990-1991 season and promoted to 3rd League. After promotion, the club's name changed to Istanbul BB. The club played in TFF First League until 1996, but after the 2006–2007 season they were promoted to the Turkcell Super League. Finishing 12th in the 2007–2008 season enabled them to remain in the Turkcell Süper Lig for the 2008–2009 season. In the 2009–2010 season, the club finished the season 6th place with a historical success at its own. In the 2012-2013 season, the club finished 16th and relegated to TFF First League. But, it finished 1st League as champions and made immediate return to top level in 2013-14 season. In June 2014, the club's name changed to İstanbul Başakşehir Futbol Kulübü.[1]
İstanbul Başakşehir Futbol Kulübü signed a sponsorship agreement in 25 May 2015 with Medipol Eğitim ve Sağlık Grubu (Medipol Education and Health Group) for 4 years and team's name changed to Medipol Başakşehir.[2]
- İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor (1991–2014)
- İstanbul Başakşehir F.K. (2014–2015)
- Medipol Başakşehir F.K. (2015–)
Before the name change IBB were playing their games at Ataturk Olympic Stadium but starting from 2014-2015 season the games will be played at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium. [3]
Fan group Boz Baykuşlar[edit]
IBB hardly had any supporters, despite playing in the country's largest stadium every home game felt like an away match. For years the Atatürk Olympic Stadium was the centerpiece to a strange spectacle, the only supporters in the stands would be fans of opposition teams. However, over time the team has won over some followers and they founded a supporter group called the, 'Boz Baykuşlar' (Grey Owls). [4]
They are one of the most unusual supporter groups in Turkey, their numbers are small and they never engage in hooliganism, violence or insulting the opposition. They are renowned for their witty slogans, "Bize her yer deplasman!" (Everywhere is away for us), "Hakem haklı beyler!" (The referee is right, guys), 'Maç Var Dediler Geldik!' (They said there was a game being played so we thought we'd come along).[5]
It is unknown if the group will stay with the club after the name-change.

Come and explore this sacred paradise in the heart of the Riviera Maya.

- Visit the botanical garden, aviary, aquarium and Mayan ruins
- Learn about the history and cultural significance of Xcaret
- Snorkel and swim in the surrounding waters or relax on the beach

Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
A sacred paradise is in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Xcaret (pronounced eesh-carette) is one of the loveliest and most unusual venues in the area. It is said that this was the ancient port of Pole and that the Maya used to come here to bathe in its waters to purify their minds and bodies before sailing to the nearby island of Cozumel to worship the goddess of fertility, Ixchel.
Mans ingenuity combined with natures splendor has formed a very interesting park with a variety of attractions. The park has focused on the area's natural flora, fauna and landscape and used these to create a mini-wonderland. There are some small Maya ruins, a botanical garden, aviary, aquarium, stables and butterfly farm. There is an exhibition with scale models of all the major archaeological sites of the Yucatan.
There is also an inlet with clear waters for snorkeling, a lagoon for swimming and a beach for relaxing either in the sun or in the shade of the palapas. Or perhaps you would prefer a siesta in a hammock? But the most unique feature of Xcaret is its underground river, which passes through caverns and underground channels, put on a life vest and let the current take you slowly and safely along while you marvel at the beauty of nature.
You'll return at 6:00pm, unless you wish to stay for the magical night show, where you'll see the story of the Mayan come to life! This option is included in the tour price, and you'll return by ferry at 9:00pm. If you wish to stay on, please advise your tour guide a the beginning of the tour.

I can't imagine what this means for tequila! ;)
Printable View
I can't imagine what this means for tequila! ;)
For me, there are three categories:
1. I would.
2. I wouldn't.
3. I would if I were drunk.
Arent No. 2 & No. 3 the same thing?
I would - She's hot, at least too you. You brag about it (when your young anyhow) to your buddies.
I would if I were drinking - She passes the teeth/hair/skin test but she's rumored to have been around & she's not really what you might call attractive. You mention it afterwards to your best friend but with a tone of disbelief & regret and only if he promises it will go no further.
I might if I were really wasted & desperate - She's got good teeth but she's definitely been around and she's definitely not considered even average looking. You rip on the buddy who is nearly unconscious when he gets taken advantage of by her.
Not even if I were passed out - Everythings a mess, she's been around (tonight) and she doesn't shower regularly. You attack with a whip & chair when she approaches a drunken & almost passed out pal.
I know women think we will do anything, but even the sickest of us have some standards although i'm not sure what they are for those merry few.
No, the categories are like this:
I would, she wouldn't.
I would, she wouldn't but maybe her friend would.
I would, she would.
I would if her friend would too.
I would if I were drunk.
I would if I were drunk and her friend would too.
I wouldn't.
It's a pretty easy system. I never had the pleasure of really getting past "I would, she wouldn't", but I'm sure the system works for someone.
I'm getting some good laughs out of this thread. And yeah, for Roseanne, I might have to turn it up to 11.

The MA in French requires a minimum of 30 units. Students normally proceed through the M.A. program in four semesters, completing 5 courses or 15 units during each year in residence. Students meet regularly with the Director of Graduate Studies to craft a curriculum that suits their individual needs and interests. In addition, each student is assigned a faculty mentor. All MA students taking French courses taught in English must do all reading and written work in French whenever possible for all options. Click on the links below for detailed descriptions of our primary areas of emphasis:
Provides students a comprehensive overview of French literature and culture and prepares them to pursue work at the Ph.D. level in French.
Prepares students for a career in teaching or for continued studies at the doctoral level in interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs, such as the UA's Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching.
Offers three areas of emphasis (Near Eastern, African, or Caribbean), as well as the opportunity to take classes in a related discipline, such as Near Eastern Studies, Anthropology, Gender and Women's Studies, History, or Political Science.
Prepares students for teaching careers in high schools, includes the certification required by secondary schools.
Offers highly qualified undergraduates at the UA have the option of beginning coursework toward the M.A. during their last year of undergraduate studies, and completing the Master of Arts in their fifth year at the University.
The Plan of Study (POS): No later than their second semester in residence students must complete a Plan of Study in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies. The Plan of Study should list all courses that you have taken, are taking, and plan to take as part of your MA curriculum. Students complete the form online and pay the fee. The Graduate College requires that the Plan of Study be submitted during the second semester in residence. The Director of Graduate Studies and Graduate Service Coordinator for SILLC will revise the POS as needed if the planned curriculum changes.
Independent Study: When a student is interested in a topic/area that is not addressed at all within regular course offerings), up to three credits of Independent Study (FREN 599) may be counted toward the MA, pending faculty availability and DGS approval.
Satisfactory Academic Progress: Satisfactory progress is determined by the Department Head in consultation with the faculty, the Graduate Studies Committee, the Director of Graduate Studies, the Director of Basic Languages (for GATs), and the Graduate College. To demonstrate satisfactory progress, students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA as assessed at the end of every semester and must be making normal progress toward the degree. This typically involves completing at least 6 units per semester with at least a B average.

who else mentioned the word "snake" in this thread other than me? I dont see another instance of the word from someone else. Both Rashad and Diego didnt want their future competition coming into the same camp as them. They voiced their opinion to not let the new guy in the camp but were assured by Greg that they would never fight each other. When push came to shove Greg pretend he had no idea it would come to this and bowed out. He knew one day GSP would fight Diego and he knew Bones would fight Rashad. He didnt care, he knew he would get more money with more fighters and knew he would still be the coach of both the winner and loser of that match. They left when he screwed them over.
9/16/12 9:05 PM by Wasa-B
Well, we were talking about snakes with Dana White in the same sentence and you mentioned someone else as the snake so.....Btw, how did Jackson take GSP and Jones over Diego and Rashad exactly? I seem to recall both Diego and Rashad left on their own calls and that one of them also came back.

Exactly. JBJ would have gotten laughed out of the arena if he competed during the SEG era and pulled this crap. If someone got hurt in the tournament you got the next guy, period. Imagine if Royce had said no to a replacement because his advancing opponent got hurt. He would be a laughing stock like JBJ seems to be these days. Cindy
9/15/12 3:49 PM by CindyO
It was in the UFC's power to replace the main card entirely, even without Jones. Yep. They sould have kept the event going so that folks couldn't get a refund on their tickets, many of which cost hundreds of dollars. They should have just screwed the fans and said "I know you paid to see a title fight, JBJ and Hendo but that can't happen now because Hendo got hurt and title holder Jones refuses to fight another opponent... but thanks for the money." I mean, cards are subject to change, right? It's on the tickets. Who cares if it was only 8 days out? Pfft. Look what they did with the Aldo/Rampage card. He lost the main event and co-main event, yet miraculously he had no problem replacing those cards. Yeah, kinda cool how that worked out with over 30 days notice to promote the show. Creating the event programs, t-shirts and hats was still on the to-do list and travel arrangements for fighters hadn't even been made yet. Miraculous. Why they couldn't pull all of this off (and more) for 151 with only 8 days notice in beyond me. It should have gone just as smoothly as the Oct 8th 153 card will when it happens next month-- the extra time shouldn't have been necessary in order to get the same result. War Bellator! He could have done the same thing with 151, but instead chose to teach Jackson and Jones a lesson for defying him. With the same notice he absolutely could have done the same thing. But he had 8 days not 35 so what's your point? He chose to not mislead and rip off the fans who spent hundreds of dollars to see Jones defend his title- which is exacty what would have happened since there was very little time to re-promote the show with replacements. People would have shown up to the arena and ordered PPVs thinking they were going to get to see Bones, Hendo and a title on the line when in fact they wouldn't have been getting any of the three. Jones accepting Chael as an opponent would have allowed 151 to still offer a title fight as well as the main guy folks were paying to see but he said no. LOL@ they simply canceled the show to teach Jackson and Jones a lesson! Cindy

Reduction of 7.4 percent since 2004, but not on track to meet Canary goal
Aspen's carbon footprint shrunk 0.44 percent between 2011 and 2014, for a total reduction of 7.4 percent since 2004, according to a report from the city's Canary Initiative, which was launched in 2005 to take action against climate change.
The modest decrease means Aspen is not on track to meet the Canary's goal of reducing community-wide greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2020, and 80 percent by 2050, compared to the 2004 baseline.Full Story »

Panelists elated by SCOTUS decision, but say more work must be done on discrimination
The recent 5-4 decision by a conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage shows how far our culture has shifted on the issue, a panel of experts on constitutional law said Friday at the Aspen Ideas Festival.
Charismatic moderator Jeffrey Rosen, a George Washington University law professor, and president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, asked myriad questions concerning SCOTUS decisions over the last two years, with the landmark Obergefell v. Hodge ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage throughout the U.S., rising to the top.Full Story »

As the sun sets over the beautiful Cascade Mountains, the sky is transformed into a stunning display of hues; delighting the eyes of any artist. This epic backdrop serves as the inspiration for Sunset Over the Cascades: a collection of six shawl designs by Joyce Fassbender.
Beginning with the dark blue of dusk, then advancing through to soft yellow, vibrant orange, fiery red, cool purple, and finally the sparkling black of a star-studded night, each shawl follows along with the progression of colors found within a perfect sunset. Named for the mountains found in Washington state, each shawl is delightfully different in shape and yarn weight to create a range of textures and designs. The DK weight wings of Fernow have a beautifully detailed edging of triple yarn-overs. Rectangular El Dorado has golden coins running along its fine lace weight length. Shuksan's crescent is a softly haloed light-weight dream, nestled with shimmering beads. The half-circle lace of Rainier is tipped with fiery darts. Triangular Glacier has sport weight scallops reminiscent of flowing ice. Gardner's fingering weight square is a night sky lit up with a thousand beaded stars.
With so much variety, Sunset Over the Cascades is guaranteed to contain a project to tantalize the artist within every knitter.
