text: That clause should be illegal. It's ownership of a fighter, owning a human to a point as long as they want to match any offers. So regardless of whether a fighter wants to leave or not, once he has fulfilled his end of the contract, if they want him, his two choices are to stay against his will or retire. Bullshit.

The new L'Atelier de Le Creuset on the Ashley River is like something out of a chef's dream.
A brief history
Le Creuset — "the crucible" — started in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, in 1925, after a casting specialist and enameling expert began coating iron cookware with a porcelain enamel glaze to improve versatility.It began exporting to the U.S. in the 1950s and opened its U.S. distribution center in Hampton County near Yemassee in 1977, citing easy access to the ports of Charleston and Savannah and I-95.In 1995, Le Creuset expanded into new categories: stainless steel, stoneware, silicone, enamel on steel, textiles and forged hard-anodized aluminum. It has operated a retail store on King Street across from Charleston Place for years.
A glass display case holds fondue pots from the 1970s, and other cookware dating back to the 1930s, just a few years after Le Creuset began making its colorful cast-iron containers in northern France.
Across the hall, through more glass, is the atelier, which means workshop in French and here translates into a state-of-the art show kitchen with cameras that will stream cooking demonstrations by Charleston chefs around the world.
Around the corner, a sleek office features racks of prototype spatulas, whisks and pepper grinders. Keep walking and you'll pass through the window-walled desk farm where the cookware maker's North American marketing and design employees will work.
And then there's the river-view deck outside, for relaxation, and the gym upstairs, to work off whatever's being served from the kitchen.
On Thursday afternoon, for the facility's grand opening, that was Chef Robert Carter's peanut butter caramel and red velvet cakes. Carter, who serves Le Creuset-inspired dishes at both of his local restaurants, called the renovated former Landry's Seafood House a "world-class place for world-class products."
"It brings validity to Charleston," he said.
The L'Altelier expansion at 116 Ripley Point Drive is now the company's North American marketing headquarters and culinary center. It's been in the works for about two years and under construction for since last spring. The company had outgrown its former digs near the S.C. Aquarium. Le Creuset bought the former Landry's for $4.15 million in February 2011.
Company officials noted the new facility is the only one in Le Creuset's inventory that will have both a public component — the kitchen will host students and events — and private offices.
Twenty-four of the company's 600 North American employees will be based at the new spot, including the Web and product design teams.
Le Creuset's American CEO Faye Gooding and Charleston Mayor Joe Riley helped cut the orange ribbon on the repurposed building. Both called the culinary company's continued presence in a food-crazed city like Charleston "the perfect marriage."

I'll be getting my girlfriend an iPad mini (16GB, white) for Christmas. It's at the top end of the budget, but I've been trying to hook her on the Apple ecosystem (she just took over my iPhone 4S) and this way she won't steal my iPad 3 anymore. The mini makes more sense as she wants an iPad that fits in her purse and is useful for notes and books at school, as well as some reading and web browsing on the couch at home. She doesn't want to store any movies, music or lots of photos, so 16GB will be plenty for her. My retina iPad is better for movies as we travel, anyways.
iPad and alternative tablet gifts: 2012 holiday guide
The definitive guide to getting the perfect tablet gift for Black Friday and the holidays!
If you're looking at getting someone a tablet this year, chances are you're looking to get them an iPad. For most people, most of the time, the iPad remains the best combination of technology, experience, and content on the market. But which iPad should you get, the latest, greatest iPad 4 or the thinner, lighter, iPad mini? Should you consider an iPod touch instead? And what about alternatives? I Apple isn't the right answer, should you look at the Nexus 7 or Nexus 10, or an Amazon Kindle Fire HD, or a Microsoft Surface instead? Lets break it down.
If you need a tablet powerful enough to get things done, get an iPad 4
The iPad is the first, successful, mainstream tablet. If you're considering getting a tablet for yourself or as a gift, this is where to to start.
Pros: High density screen. 720p front camera, 1080p rear camera. 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB options. Available with black or white front plates. Plays audio and video, reads ebooks. Runs iOS, all App Store apps, including hundreds of thousands of tablet-specific iPad apps. Weighs 652 grams. Starts at $499. Cellular/LTE available.
Cons: Heavier than iPad mini, not as powerful as a full-on laptop.
Bottom line: If you want something more accessible, enjoyable, and portable than a laptop, but still want a big screen and plenty of power to get things done, get an iPad 4.
More info: iPad 4 review & feature guide
Note: If you don't care about the latest and the greatest, you can grab the 2010/2011 iPad 2 with a worse screen, no LTE, and really bad cameras, and save $100.
iPad mini
If you need a companion tablet more than a productivity machine, you want an iPad mini
The iPad mini is just like the full-sized iPad, only a little smaller and a lot lighter. It's a great alternative for people for whom the big iPad would be perfect... if only it wasn't so big.
Pros: 1080p rear camera, 720p front camera. 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB options. Available in slate (black) or silver (white). Plays audio and video, reads ebooks. Runs iOS, all App Store apps, including hundreds of thousands of tablet-specific iPad apps. Fits in purses, large jacket pockets. Weighs 308 grams. Starts at $329. Cellular/LTE available.
Cons: No high density Retina display, less powerful than iPad 4.
Bottom line: If you want a tablet but already have an ultralight laptop (like the MacBook Air) to lug around, or the full-size iPad is just too big and heavy, save some size and weight and get the iPad mini.
More info: iPad mini review & feature guide
- Starting at $329 - Buy now
iPod touch
If you need an incredibly small tablet to keep in your pocket, you want the iPod touch
While you might not think about the iPod touch as a tablet, it does everything a tablet can do, and still manages to fit in even very small pockets.
Pros: 720p front camera, 1080p rear camera. 32GB and 64GB options. Available in slate (black), silver (white), pink, blue, and red (Apple Store exclusive). Runs iOS, can play audio and video, read ebooks, and run hundreds of thousands of App Store apps and games.
Cons: No cellular option (3G/LTE). Can't run iPad apps. Smaller screen than iPad line.
Bottom line: If even the iPad mini is still too big, and you want your computing literally in your pocket, along with access to the App Store, get the incredibly mobile iPod touch.
- Starting at $299 - Buy now
Note: If you don't care about the latest and the greatest, you can grab the 2010/2011 model with a worse screen and really bad cameras, and save $100.
BlackBerry Playbook
If you need a name-brand tablet at the absolutely lowest price on the market, you want the BlackBerry Playbook
If the most important feature for you in any tablet is price, the BlackBerry Playbook is absolutely the cheapest 7-inch tablet from a major player on the market.
Pros: 720p front camera, 1080p rear camera. Upgradeable to BlackBerry 10 in 2013. Wi-Fi version can be found for as little as $150 if you shop around.
Cons: No high density display, less software choice than iPad.
Bottom line: If price is your only concern, get the BlackBerry Playbook
- Starting at $150 - Buy now
More: BlackBerry PlayBook review
Google/Asus Nexus 7
If you need a small tablet that still has big Android power, you want the Nexus 7
If the iPad mini is a little too big, and the iPod touch is way too small, and you prefer Google to Apple anyway, the Google/Asus Nexus 7 is the best small Android tablet on the market.
Pros: Higher density display than iPad mini. Excellent integration with all Google services. Starts at only $199 for 16GB. Cellular option.
Cons: No rear camera. More like a big iPod touch than a small tablet (paucity of tablet-optimized interfaces/apps). No LTE.
Bottom line: If you use a lot of Google services, and Google Play has a lot of content in your area, the Nexus 7 is the best small Android tablet on the market, and a good "bigger" alternative to the iPod touch.
More: Complete Nexus 7 review
- Starting at $199 - Buy now
Kindle Fire HD 7
If you want a small, cheap media device totally tied to Amazon's ecosystem, you want the Kindle Fire HD 7
The Kindle Fire HD 7 is more media appliance than tablet, but if you're in the U.S. and all-in on Amazon's ecosystem, the Kindle Fire HD 7 is a low-cost iPad alternative.
Pros: Excellent for media. Cellular/LTE option. Starts at only $199.
Cons: Lower density display than iPad 4. Not as good for general computing. Only available in a handful of countries.
Bottom line: If you're looking for small, cheap device to read, listen to, watch, and play Amazon content, you want the Kindle Fire HD 7.
- Starting at $199 - Buy now
Kindle Fire HD 8.9
If you want a cheap media device totally tied to Amazon's ecosystem, with a bigger screen, you want the Kindle Fire HD 8.9
Like the Kindle Fire HD 7, only bigger -- though not as big as a full-sized iPad -- and with a cellular option, if that's important to you.
Pros: 8.9-inch high-density screen. Cellular option available. Starts at only $299.
Cons: Not as good for general computing. Only available in a handful of countries.
Bottom line: If you want to read, listen to, watch, and play Amazon content, but you want to do it on a bigger screen, get the incredibly cheap Kindle Fire HD 8.9. .
- Starting at $299 - Buy now
Google/Samsung Nexus 10
If you need a full-sized tablet with all the latest specs and Android software, you want the Google/Samsung Nexus 10
The Nexus 10 is slightly bigger than the iPad, and while it still lacks consistent tablet-optimized interfaces and apps, it's also slightly more like a traditional, multi-window computer than iOS.
Pros: Higher density screen than iPad 4. 720p front camera, 1080p rear camera. 16GB/32GB options. No LTE option (yet). Starts at $399.
Cons: Paucity of tablet apps, inconsistent tablet interface.
Bottom line: If you really want an Android tablet, and a big screen, get the incredibly cheap Nexus 10.
- Starting at $399 - Buy now
Microsoft Surface RT
If you need something closer to a netbook than a tablet, you want the Surface RT.
While Microsoft's tablet remains confusing and confounding, if you absolutely can't decide between a Windows netbook and a tablet, the Surface might be worth checking out.
Pros: Has elegant Metro interface. Lots of ports. Can run Office. 32GB/64GB options.
Cons: Product line is needlessly complex. Requires touch-unfriendly Windows under-layer to run Office. Office is also touch-unfriendly.
Bottom line: The Surface is brand new and it usually takes Microsoft 2 or 3 generations to nail a product. Still, if you absolutely have to have something that's part tablet, part netbook, get a Surface with a Type cover.

iPad and alternative tablet gifts: 2012 holiday guide
I have the iPad mini and thinking about getting my mother one too and I'm sure she will love it as she now has the original Kindle Fire.
On a side note, I also have the PlayBook and the camera on the front also shoots video in 1080p and not just 720p as your article states.
Both are great and serve me well. Otherwise good comparison article by the way.
I bought a surface. Didn't seem needlessly complex - just had to choose 32gb or 64 gb and whether I wanted a type or touch cover. Seems to be an easier choice than all the iPad varieties (talk about needlessly complex - mini or full, new or newer or 2nd gen, WiFi or 3g, black or white, att or Verizon, 16 or 32 or 64, what color cover, etc). MY wife even likes her surface now more than her iPad, and that is saying something.
I will assume you have never used a surface. I still have an iPad but will sell mine as I haven't touched it since I bought my surface. Yes, it was more complicated to learn than my iPad - my 2 year old girl could work the iPad. But being able to get on my home network and have access to a true file system and my peripherals (external hard drive, printer and scanner) has made the difference for me. Plus it just feels nicer. I'm just expressing my experience from using both an iPad and a surface. I don't game and don't need a million apps, those would be the only reason I would go back. But I'll continue to recommend to my mom or friends with young children that an iPad would be better suited to them. But for my friends and work colleagues that are looking to get a tablet, I will recommend this.
I wish I can get them the cheap staff and just feat them with specs afterwards.... DUDE... but they'll just call me an fkng Cheap-skate and throw it in this green garbage bin to all the other sweet waste there... I guess its because they rather like to enjoy 280 000 tablet app-choise... and not just 17 tablet optimized on andrOS.... i'm joking....of course: there are actually 19... and that just beats your spex argument in every aspect !!!
I ordered an iPad 4 32 GB this morning on the apple sale. My wife was gonna order it for Christmas, but called me and said go ahead and order the one you want and the case since you know you're getting it anyways. :) I look forward to my first real tablet. Last year she bought me the Nook Tablet and with stock software it was very frustrating. I did end up rooting it and installing a beta version of cyanogen mod android making it a little more useful, but it's buggy at times.
Definitive guide, more like subjective. I know this is an apple fans site but the way it talked about the playbook is just poor. They didn't even say it plays flash websites, which the ipads til now can't do. Don't get me wrong I have my sights on the ipad mini I think it's cool but for the playbook which was released 2011 and is still kickin it, upgradeable in 2 month's time. I'll get 2 playbooks for the of 1 ipad mini.
My brother said he would get me a Nexus 7 (hoping for 32GB). I may get the Surface/Surface 2 next year, after the app store matures. I was really impressed with the Surface at the Microsoft Store. There was a learning curve with the type cover, but nothing too bad.
For perspective, I owned an original iPad, upgraded when the 3rd generation came out, then got just as bored with it as I did my iPhone. One thing this guide (and every article on the site) has failed to mention is how stale iOS has grown. Visually, Android and Windows RT are more appealing. And once you take some time to learn the settings, it's not hard at all to use the software.
I've got an iPad 3, I really Ike the look and feel of the Mini but since I have an iPod Touch, Android Phone and the 3 its hard to justify the purchase to my wife. In the last couple of weeks I've sold 3 people on getting the refurbished 3 from Apple for $379. All of them wanted ipads and this represents a great value to them. The Playbook 16 gig is going for as little as $70 on eBay, it's not my first choice in a tablet but that's a steal. The Nexus 7 and 10 both have great specs and a good price but I'm done with Android on tablets for the foreseeable future. Ice had a rooted Nook Color and an Acer Icona. The hardware was okay but the software was buggy as hell and the app selection was meager at best.
I can't for the life of me figure out the "meager app" android argument. There is nothing that I cannot do with ease on my Android tablet, including running my business remotely, drafting documents, dictating letters, reading spreadsheets, etc etc. As soon as someone can identify for me some valid activity that I cannot do with my Android tablet due to a lack of programs, I will become an Apple convert. I won't be holding my breath.

text: The state of Massachusetts is in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Massachusetts has been significant throughout American history and many of Massachusetts's towns were founded by colonists from England in the 1620s and 1630s. It is bordered by Rhode Island and Connecticut to the south, New York to the west, and Vermont and New Hampshire ...to the north; at its east lies the Atlantic Ocean. Most of its population of 6.6 million lives in the Boston metropolitan area. The eastern half of the state consists of urban, suburban, and rural areas, while Western Massachusetts is mostly rural. Most of the state is uplands of resistant metamorphic rock that were scraped by Pleistocene glaciers that deposited moraines and outwash on a large, sandy, arm-shaped peninsula called Cape Cod and the islands Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket to the south of Cape Cod. Although much of the state had been cleared for agriculture, leaving only traces of old growth forest in isolated pockets, secondary growth has regenerated in many rural areas as farms have been abandoned. Currently, forests cover around 62% of Massachusetts. The state is located along the Atlantic Flyway, a major route for migratory waterfowl along the Atlantic coast.Show More

Would I put this powder on directly out of the shower, or would I put lotion on and then dust the powder on?
Thank you,
-ErikaAsked on 4/7/2015 by Erika from Santa California, CA
3 answers
A:Hi! I put lotion on first. The dusting powder is just like any other body powder...in fact, I use one of LUSH's body conditioners (like Ro's Argan or Africa Paradise) in the shower and then I don't need lotion.
Answered on 4/17/2015 by Anonymous
A:Whether or not you use a lotion first is entirely up to you, as both will work. Either way, just make sure you are completely dry before applying the dusting powder, or you might end up with a bit of a mess!Answered on 4/10/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I would make sure that you ate completely dry prior to applying this. You may out lotion on first, then make sure it dries completely before applyinh. If not, it could get a bit cake-y.Answered on 4/7/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Is this product sufficient for use as an under arm deodorant? Ive heard of someone doing this, but are there antibacterials in it? Anyone else use it as a deodorant? thanks.Asked on 1/11/2015 by SP from San Diego, CA
2 answers
A:We would suggest layering Vanilla Puff with a deodorant like Aromaco, as Aromaco will give you the antibacterial properties and the Vanilla Puff will give you the gorgeous scent!Answered on 2/15/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I bought this as a gift, and my friend loved the smell and softness! However, I don't think it would be a good idea to use as a deodorant.

2 answers
A:I sprinkle this on my skin after I apply greasy feeling lotion or a massage bar, for me it lasts about 3-4 hours.Answered on 11/12/2014 by Rachel from Minnesota
A:The Vanilla Puff Powder is a more gentle scent than our perfumes, but most people do find that the scent does linger. How long it will last on any specific person's skin depends on a lot of factors, including skin condition and climate, but you should be able to enjoy the scent throughout the day!Answered on 10/25/2012 by Brandy from LUSH

A:Because this scent doesn't last all day for me, I pair it with my perfume to smell delicious all day long :)Answered on 11/12/2014 by Rachel from Minnesota
A:The Vanilla Puff Powder definitely has a lighter scent to it, but as for the amount of usage, it entirely depends on your personal preference as to what strength of scent you would like. The powders can definitely be used in combination with perfumes.Answered on 9/19/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Jan. 27, 2010
Cal State Northridge track & field opens the 2010 indoor season this weekend as the Matador men and women compete at the UW Invitational at Dempsey Indoor in Seattle, Wash.
In all, Northridge will send 39 athletes (20 men, 19 women) to the meet. The multi-event and pole vaulters will compete on Friday while the remainder of the squad will compete on Saturday.
"We're looking to forward to seeing a lot of new people competing indoors for the first time," said Director of Track & Field Don Strametz. "We're using the indoor season to get a lot of people a lot of experience and getting them ready for the outdoor season."
The meet gets underway Friday with the first event of the women's pentathlon, the 60m hurdles at 3 p.m. Friday's events close with the 800m run, also part of the pentathlon. Saturday opens with the women's 3,000 meters at 9 a.m. and the meet wraps up with the second of two heats of the men 4x400 relay at 5:55 p.m.
2009 MPSF runner-up in the heptathlon Robert Robinson is scheduled to compete on Friday along with teammates Lance Gonzales and Michael Woodham.
"We have some people who are going to be very good and we hope to take them as far as we can this year," added Strametz. "Hopefully we can get a few people to Nationals. The weather will play a big factor in what happens over the next month, how much rain we do or don't get and how many workouts we can get in."
The UW Invitational is one of just two indoor meets Northridge will compete in prior to the MPSF Indoor Championships on Feb. 26-27. The Matadors will also travel to Boise, Idaho to compete in the Boise Invitational on Feb. 12-13.
"We're going to Boise to give our sprinters a chance to run on a 200-meter banked track which is a lot different than running on Seattle's flat track," said Strametz.

Joe Alternatives: A Cup of Hot Brown, Hold the Coffee
Desperate times sometimes cause people to do seemingly crazy things, and having to live caffeine-free for one reason or another is no exception. Almost as long as there's been coffee there have been coffee substitutes, for better or (mostly) worse. From roasted acorns (no, really) to barley, to wheat bran and molasses, folks without access, without tolerance, or without religious allowance to drink the real stuff have found their way to enjoy cups of alterna-brews of all types.

CONCORD, N.C. – Following months of meetings and discussion, the World Karting Association and the Dyno Cams Tri-State Pro Series jointly announce that the December 28-30 WKA Daytona Dirt World Championships will serve as the 2013 season opener for the Tri-State Pro Series.
The announcement was made Saturday afternoon at Carolina 120 Speedway, where the Tri-State Series was running its season closer. WKA officials made the trip to Carolina Saturday to iron out details of the partnership with Tri-State's Troy Duncan. An agreement was reached and series announcer Phil Combs made the announcement over the public address system.
While the complete class structure for the event has not yet been determined, racers can plan on some of the largest cash purses of the year this December at Daytona. Several big pro races are being planned and other classes will offer traditional WKA trophies, product awards and cash purses or a combination of all.
"We believe this is a great move for WKA, Tri-State and dirt-oval karting on the east coast," WKA's Van Gilder stated. "Daytona provides us with a fantastic track to run on, and we want as many dirt teams and drivers as possible to experience what hundreds of racers have already enjoyed over the last few years. I think with the Tri-State partnership you'll see a terrific turnout of dirt racers at Daytona and some of the best competition of the year. We're really looking forward to the event."
Tri-State's Troy Duncan echoed Gilder's thoughts on the new partnership.
"I've been excited about this for some time now, and I'm just happy it's been released so everyone can start making their plans to be at Daytona this December. It should be a great event and we're all working hard to make it a memorable show for everyone involved," Duncan said.
The event will be held at the popular quarter-mile Daytona Flat Track, located outside turns one and two of the DIS superspeedway. This will mark the fourth year WKA has promoted the Dirt World Championships at the DIS Flat Track. The previous three years' entry count has averaged around 350, and WKA officials are expecting well over double that amount this December with the new partnership with the Tri-State Pro Series.
The tentative schedule includes the Daytona pit area opening for parking Thursday afternoon, Dec. 27. Practice will run Friday, Dec. 28. Racing will begin Saturday, Dec. 29 and will include some of the biggest pro classes running Saturday night, under the Daytona lights. The last day of racing is Sunday, Dec. 30 and may go into Sunday night, depending on the schedule.
Continue to watch WKA's Pit Board and WorldKarting.com for further announcements. More news on the Daytona Dirt World Championships is coming soon.

Chic Living Room
Carved lanterns, Pucci-style printed pillows and seashells add pattern and texture to an all-white space.
Because this boathouse only has one bedroom, multifunctional pieces in the living room make sense. Painted bamboo daybeds can be pulled apart to create two beds, while the "coffee table" is actually a camp cot. White terrycloth upholstery is easy to clean and swimsuit-friendly.

A growing number of cities want to tackle the problem of homelessness by outlawing what are known as "acts of daily living" — sleeping, eating and panhandling in public. In Philadelphia, a new rule is targeting not the homeless but those who feed them.
When Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced the ban on serving food in public parks last March, he said moving such services indoors was part of an effort to raise standards for the homeless.

Big Win for Hilbert Over Penn-State Behrend
McFarland Eclipse 1,500 points

HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College men's basketball team kept their win-streak alive after the Hawks convincingly defeated Penn State Behrend 63-50 February 13th. The five game win streak propels Hilbert (13-4) into sole possession of 2nd place in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference standings with one game remaining. Freshman Jerame Owens measured up well against the intimidating inside presence of Behrend's Russ Conley, who is nationally ranked in two shooting categories. They each reached a double-double, but the cast of characters from Hilbert played a larger role in the Hawks home court victory.
Senior Dan McFarland finished with 14 points, going 5 of 7 from the floor and making all four free throw attempts to give him 1,504 career points. Senior Anthony Hodge chipped in 13 points and sophomore Trevor Stark added 11 points (3 of 4 field goals and 5 of 6 from the charity stripe). Senior Isaac Bushey (5) and Mike Jones (2) completed the Hilbert scoring efforts.
Hilbert out rebounded Behrend (35-25) and finished with 15 steals while forcing an uncharacteristic 22 turnovers by the Lions. The Hawks were shutout from long distance missing all 11 long-balls, but made 21 of 24 foul shots to earn the well-deserved victory.
After an early opening tie score, Behrend took the reins and went with it, building their largest lead in the first half, 11-4 (15:29) with Conley netted 8 points during that stretch. Hilbert regained their composure and Bushey and McFarland went to work to knot the game 3 minutes later. Hilbert went on a mini-run but the Lions responded and took a 24-23 lead to the locker room.
Conley scored 14 of Behrend's 24 points by the break while Owens and McFarland shared scoring honors with 8 apiece. Behrend shot 52.6% from the field but were only 1 of 5 from long distance. Hilbert was shutout with a 3-ball and made 9 of 27 field goal attempts (33.3%) but all five free throws.
Casey Courneen hit back-to-back three pointers to give Penn State their largest lead in the second half at 17:43 (30-25). Hilbert slowly cut the difference and finally took over the lead at 13:37 off an Anthony Hodge layup. From that point forward, turnovers (5) and missed shots began to take their toll on the visitors and Hilbert's execution began to click. With 3:42 remaining and Hilbert up by 8 points, Stark took over. His steal led to a fast break jumper in the paint before he went 5 of 6 on this three trips to the charity stripe. Owens made two free throws to stretch Hilbert's lead to 17 points with just over one minute remaining. Behrend's Tyler Maloney sank four straight foul shots to cut the difference by the final horn.
Hilbert will honor their three senior athletes – Isaac Bushey, Anthony Hodge and Dan McFarland – prior to their final regular season game this weekend when they host the current #1 ranked team La Roche College (14-3). With a Hilbert win, the Hawks will claim their first AMCC regular season championship and the #1 seed in the AMCC tournament. Should Hilbert suffer a defeat, they could drop as low as the 4th seed in the post-season tourney and host a first round game.
Play-offs begin Tuesday, February 19th with #4 hosting #5 and the #3 team hosting the #6 seeded team. The #1 seeded team hosts the championship weekend with semi-final games scheduled to be played Friday night and championship game on Saturday February 23.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Pets can help ease stress, anxiety
By Meredith, Pure Matters
Do our pets really have health benefits on our lives? I say yes. I'll admit it: My best friend has four legs, is tri-colored, and frequently drools. Her name is Indiana, and she's a cat.
I'm a firm believer that my pets make me happy and keep me healthy -- there's nothing more restorative to me than a play session or an evening spent reading with Indy curled up in my lap. While research into the health benefits of pets is still being explored, there's evidence to support those feelgood feelings our pets give us. A 2011 study conducted at Miami University of Ohio found that pet owners were more likely to be fit, confident, and extroverted -- and less likely to be lonely.
With pet ownership at a soaring rate -- statistics from the Humane Society show that there are 78 million dogs in the U.S. and about 86 million cats -- there are a lot of humans potentially reaping an awful lot of health benefits. Let me just name a few ….
Pets Make Us Happy
Recent research showed that petting a dog causes increased levels of the hormone oxytocin (that's the one that's often also called "the cuddle hormone" because it helps fight feelings of stress and anxiety). If you're feeling stressed, now you've got a reason to head home and spend time with your pooch. Don't have a dog? Take a stroll through a local dog park and I bet you'll make a fast friend. If you prefer cats, it's not too much of a stretch to assume the same benefit extends to felines. (And unless the cat is an unfriendly, scratching-type, it's not like petting a cat is going to hurt you.)
And that's certainly not the extent of the wellness we get from animals. When it comes to the mental benefits, previous research has shown that animals provide companionship particularly for owners over the age of 50, can reduce anxiety in Alzheimer's patients, reduce stress, and lessen the perception of pain. Pets are also a great way to get kids involved in household chores and learning responsibility. When they see the immediate results of feeding and caring for their pet, they'll feel happy and plugged into the family dynamic.
Pets Keep Us Moving
If you've got a dog of a decent size, you're well aware of one major fact of life: Dogs need exercise. While activity needs will always vary by breed, a walk in the morning and a walk in the evening is likely a part of your daily routine. That's great news for your cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and puts you well on track to meet the recommended 10,000 steps per day.
And while cats certainly don't need the amount of exercise attention that dogs do, there's still room for you to get active with them, especially if you've got a kitten or a younger cat. Dragging a string from room to room or waving a laser pointer in various places throughout your home is a great way to exercise kitty -- and you. There are some breeds of cat who enjoy games of tag and fetch, so if you prefer a more active pet, you may want to research rescue organizations to find a good fit.
Pets Make Us Social
Sure, dog parks are designed to be havens for dogs to wag tails, sniff rear ends, and chasechasechase. They're also great destinations for humans to meet, greet, and interact. Adding new friends and faces to your daily routine -- and putting your conversational skills to work -- is a great way to broaden your social circle and keep your mind sharp.
While common thinking suggests that dog owners are extroverts and cat owners are introverts, I disagree. Just because we're not out at a park with our kitties doesn't make cat owners less social. I've bonded with countless friends (and strangers) about their cats, my cats, and the adorable, weird things they tend to do. Trust me: The people who are friends with Indy on Facebook consider themselves very lucky.
If you're not a pet owner and you still need a reason to add a pet to your family ... have I mentioned that they're adorable? I'll bet if you own a cat or a dog, there's not a day that passes that you don't smile or chuckle or talk about something cute or silly your pet did. Endless enjoyment, and oh-so-good for you. What could be better? (A plea: If you're thinking of bringing a pet into your family, visit your local shelter or rescue group. Adopt! Don't buy.)

text: OCC Datura Loose Colour Concentrate ($12.00 for 0.088 oz. / 2.5 grams) is described as an "opalescent pink/lavender." It looks pink in the jar, but it is much more lavender once applied; it really has an opalescent finish so it flashes both pink and lavender. When it's applied damp, the lavender color gets pulled to the forefront, while when it's applied dry, it looks a bit pinker, softer, and less metallic. It's more opaque when applied damp as well. MAC Dynamic Duo 2 has a more silvered shade. MAC Light Violet is pinker. theBalm Curtain Call is pinker and darker.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
Still playing the game, about 150 hours, I have a level 80 Necromancer and reached rank 15 on sPvP. At first I did a lot of PvE, it was rather fun. I figured out that it's harder to level before 40 and easier after or so. I reached 70-80 in just one day of playing so this proves that. This is the first of the newer MMOs where I've reached max level and that's a +
After 50 or so I switched back and forth between PvE and sPvP. I really enjoy sPvP specially the tournaments. I've yet to craft a good PvP set though but I feel I might just have enough crystals. I've tried WvW but the queues are just too long by the time it prompts I'm done playing, I just don't play for that long without a break.
I've got about 90% Map completion, that's to show how much effort I have put in PvE, I've also earned about 15 gold in total and crafted up to level 200 in one profession, crafting is tough and surely can't be done without farming/buying materials for the higher levels of it. Maybe cook you can though.
I've still yet to finish a dungeon. I've tried AC twice but both times 2 of the team members leave after the first boss so I just can't find a reliable team, I do want a dungeon set and get to experience them all at least once so there's that. I also want to craft a legendary weapon but the chance of that seems so far away, it will take a lot of time and that's just time that I don't have anymore like I used to.
I also would like to create some alts, I've leveled an elementalist and guardian in the course of 6 hours, both to level 14. Preferring the guardian it's a class that I would also like to level up and suit up, it's different from my Necromancer whos half his traits are broken, I stil love him though.
Overall I think the game still has a lot left for me, even though I haven't gotten far beside 80 I think I play too much and need to slow down more I just can't play like I used to. I put about 4 hours into gaming after work, I have to do other chores and spend time with my family I barely get any sleep. But after everything I think the game has still a while to go for me, which is good because the last games that I've played didn't last me over 2-3 weeks (Diablo III, Tera, Dayz)
Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

The core of the game's content is not renown hearts (not repeatable, won't get increased in later updates), waypoints, poi etc but dynamic events. The checklist is there to provide guidance for people stuck in the old ways, early adaptors recognize GW2 for DE (core content, will be enhanced and expanded in the future).
Don't say you have seen everything the game has to offer, when you are done with world completion. At that point the game begins.

Yeah, pretty much all people who hoped GW2 would be different from what has been advertised for years now by ArenaNET.
"Sandbox only" players are known to bash any non-sandbox game anyway, specially on this site, so they aren't a big deal. We are used to them.
Archeage? We know nothing about that game but cool promises for now, excuse me if I reserve my opinion for when we have proofs all those cool promises are indeed in game. There are people living NOW and enjoy what's available NOW, and those who always dream about the next MMORPG which will fullfill all their dreams. Life told me to enjoy what you have before it's too late - so I'm part of the first group personally ;-)
Players looking for a beautifully realized world full of lore and not seeing it in GW2 need to wear better glasses. And those interesting stories in LOTRO most of the times involve you going to get 10 wolf tails, 20 boar guts and 50 goblin shields... I know about it, I have a lifetime account in that game. I actually came to wish someone like ArenaNET got the LOTRO franchise, and not Turbine.
Yes, there are "all kind" of gamers who got bored with GW2... you forgot the hardcore facerollers who already had level 80 full exotic 100% world a couple of days after release, those no game can ever satisfy because they spend more time playing video games than doing real life duties (if they have any). All those players though wanted to make GW2 something ArenaNET NEVER pretended it was. They clearly announced it wasn't another WoW clone with end game raid tier gear grind. It was also obvious it wasn't a sandbox.
So what did those people expect?

Well, from the moment the mmorpgs have gained checklists (aka achievements/dailies etc), it's hard for achievers to resist filling them. For example, I really hate alts, but I may roll two up to the point that they'll give me the character creation screen badges.
Anyway, the only way to keep people in these checklist games of today is either to have a huge checklist, or an insane grind for things that people are willing to grind for. It seems that borderlands 2 is the next hot thing and people are hoping there as well.

There's absolutely no contradiction in my posts, except the one you add with your imagination.
People disapointed/bored with GW2 are those who try to make the game something it isn't. Be it WoW clone fans who don't find their end game gear grind, sand boxers who don't find their sand, or hardcores who don't find enough content (but those never find enough content anyway =P).
People who enjoy GW2 are those have (or would have) also enjoyed games like UO or AC1, where there was no pre-defined "end game", but where the purpose was to play... for pure, simple fun. There was no gear grind in those games, no forced grouping to get the best gear either. People grouped to complete harder tasks, not to get shinier shinies. You didn't get facerolled by a guy in full "PvP gear" because there was no such thing. GW2 goes back to that model, with improvements.
To me (and that's my opinion now, of course), GW2 is what Asheron's Call 2 should have been.

Duh, not all players lika any game, no matter how great (or bad) it is. I know several sandbox fans that really like GW2 actually, because it have exploration. But you might argue that they are sandbox light fans who more enjoy Skyrim than Minecraft, but still, sandbox fans are not a homogene group that all loves ganking and FFA full loot PvP.
And some people dont enjoy the story of GW2. I dont enjoy reading Harry Potter or regular dective books, that doesnt mean they all suck, just that I dont like it.
Korrigans point was probably that many Wow players seems to dizz the game without trying it and that is a misstake, if you given both games a chanse and still prefer Wow that doesnt mean you are wrong, just that taste differs.

Well, then you should take a look at your gaming habbits and make up your mind of what you want from a game or how do you want to have fun. What I want is pretty simple: kickback from the job and have fun for a couple of hours. Not mean to judge you, but habbits are pretty good at killing fun or define what you enjoy. Also, playing completely different genres is a nice way to look at games differently and see where the industry is going.
Since GW2 is b2p and switching games is within ANets philosophy, I don't think they mind people going for other games. It's also not like GW2 is not plagued by a couple of issues right now. Hence waiting a couple of weeks until the first storm of players settled is not a bad idea.

i think what guild wars 2 sets out to do, it does very well. I would call it the best overall themepark to date for sure. Are there systems that i would do differently, sure, but i think they have done a great job at providing a solid game for a great price.

And im not even talking about the fail that is the Spvp atm, it should be the best about gw2 but now is a casual joke, ¨teamwork and tactics¨? nah, just zerg everysingle conquest point and you´ll win. Not even a month and poeple getting bored and quitting everyday, and wait for MoP. good thing GW2 is B2P, as a P2P it could be after the 1st month the biggest failure in the MMO history.

I'm more and more convinced by what I read that the people who get "bored" with GW2 are those who just can't let the WoW clone gear carrot model go. But it's fair enough, no game is made for everyone :)
You are clearly trying to imply here that only people who are geting bored of WOW are people addicted to grind. And when called out on this generalization you suddenly change your tune and even include sandbox MMO players into this 'bored' category.
I have started to see this pattern in your psot where you keep changing goal posts to make your point.

Yes generalising only WOW players, that w as my point and then suddenly changed his point in next post. Why people love to rag on WOW players ONLY is beyond me.
But why are you telling me 'it is just a game' and 'give it a rest'? i am not trying to single out a specific group of players here or making any generalizations. People get bored of games..it is that simple..regardless of their gaming background. Somethign he needs to understand.
I wonder why you even quote me?

I hit level 57 last night on my thief. Did my first Explorer Mode CM with a pug, none of whom had done it before. It took over 4 hours but we had a laugh.
GW2 suits my playstyle. I'm not a raider and end-game for me has always been about PvPing for the fun of it, not who has the best gear.
That said, the queues for WvWvW need a look at. At my level it's not so bad because there's other things to do, but I worry how I would feel at level 80 after completing all the map and story.
Overall I'm still having lots of fun and before GW2 released I couldn't find anything else that interested me in over 6 months. I hope I still feel the same at level cap.

Jewish Views on Organ Donation
We Also Recommend
Modern medical technology has made it possible to transplant hearts, kidneys, pancreases, corneas, lungs, and livers from one human being to another. Organs can be transplanted from a dead person to a live person if certain post-mortem conditions are maintained, and organs like kidneys (of which most people have two) can even be transplanted from a live volunteer donor. Initially, there were many ethical and halakhic questions regarding organ transplants. Now, however, there is an unusual amount of official—even cross-denominational—agreement about the solutions to these questions.
Avoding Danger
With all transplants there is a danger of rejection and complication. Any time a person receives an organ there is the possibility of experiencing more harm than good. In addition, a live donor risks complications from donor surgery. Deuteronomy 4:9 commands, "Take heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently," and this verse was interpreted by the Talmud and by Maimonides to mean that a person is obligated to avoid dangerous situations. Can a person ever purposely endanger herself? This is one of the primary ethical questions in regards to organ donation, both for the donor and the recipient. Many of the other questions about organ donation revolve around the treatment of a dead donor. Jewish law prohibits deriving benefit from a cadaver, mutilating a dead body, and delaying burial. All of these laws must be transgressed in order to transplant organs.
However, according to most authorities, all of these concerns are overridden by a single halakhic (legal) concept: pikuach nefesh—the Jewish obligation to save lives. Thus a person is allowed to put herself in a reasonable amount of danger if it is likely to save a life. In addition, we may waive the normal prohibitions regarding cadavers when a person's life is at stake.
Defining Danger
Ultimately, the critical issue with organ donation is defining the moment of death. According to the Talmud, a person is considered dead when a feather held below his nose doesn't move and when an ear pressed against his chest does not detect a heartbeat. However, defining death these days is not so easy. One's heartbeat can be maintained by machine even after one loses brain stem function and the ability to breath on one's own. Do we define death as the cessation of brain activity or heart activity? As long as a person's heart still beats, organs can routinely be harvested, even if brain activity has ceased. However, once a heart stops beating, organs are deprived of oxygen, and it becomes more difficult to successfully remove and transplant them. If Judaism defines death as cessation of brain activity, than organ transplants are a viable option for Jews. If we define death as cessation of heart activity, then removing an organ prior to this point would be murder. Pikuach nefesh does not override murder; one cannot kill someone to save another's life.

Google Earth and Katrina help
Monday, July 31, 2006
When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast almost a year ago, people across the country and around the world wondered how to help. Many donated money; others lent their homes to dislocated survivors. A group of Googlers lent their expertise by leveraging the power of Google technology.
Over several long nights, the teams from Google Earth and Google Maps created satellite imagery overlays of the devastation in the affected region, which showed more accurately the scope of the disaster. Soon after, we were told that rescue workers and the U.S. Air Force were using Google Earth to find people who were stranded.
And last week, we received formal recognition from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Members of the NGA presented the "Hurricane Katrina Recognition Award" to the Google Earth team, as well as the Google Enterprise and Global Support groups, for their direct support during the Katrina disaster. Individual recipients included Brian McClendon, Andria McCool, Wayne Thai, Charlie Chapin, Michael Ashbridge, Chikai Ohazama, Lenette Howard, and Rob Painter, along with two folks from Carnegie Mellon University who assisted us: Randy Sargent and Anne Wright. We're pleased to be recognized in this way -- but even more pleased that we could help.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
With the playoffs quickly approaching in a number of leagues across the country, Athletic Media Relations staff members Nick Bocanegra, Lauren Olivas, and Jaclyn Rymer provide the latest information about the performances of your Matadors in their fourth baseball/softball report of the season.
Left-Handed Pitcher, USSSA Pride – National Pro Fastpitch
Softball Assistant Coach Fennel has appeared in six games this season at the plate and has a stolen base. On the mound, she pitched a shutout inning on June 17 in a 2-0 loss to the Rockford Thunder, retiring three of four batters faced. Her team returns to the diamond on Wednesday, July 15 to resume their season at home against the Akron Racers.
Chris DeBoo
Right-Handed Pitcher, Humboldt Crabs – West Coast League
DeBoo continues to lead the Crabs pitching staff with a 0.70 ERA, four wins, ten total appearances, and is second on the team allowing a meager .169 avg. to opposing batters. In his 25 and 2/3 innings pitched DeBoo has only given up one extra base hit.
Justin DeMarco
Middle Infielder, California Mariners - Southern California Collegiate Baseball Association
In the 20 games that DeMarco has played for the California Mariners, he has split his time in the field at second base, third base, and shortstop, compiling a .996 fielding average in the process. At the plate, DeMarco is batting .362 with nine doubles and six triples for the second-place Mariners.
Bryan Longpre
Right-Handed Pitcher, Palm Springs Power – Southern California Collegiate Baseball Association
Longpre appeared in one game over the past week, pitched one inning for the Palm Springs Power, and struck out three batters.
For the season Longpre has the best ERA amongst all Power pitchers with a perfect 0.00, leads the team with both three saves and 17 appearances. Longpre has pitched a total of 22 innings, has only walked six batters and struck out 28 during the summer season for the first-place Power.
Jacob Peterson
Pitcher/First Baseman, San Luis Obispo Blues – Sierra Baseball League
Peterson recorded his first win this past week, pitching two innings against the San Diego Mavericks on July 11th, in a 15-4 victory for the Blues. Peterson faced nine batters and had four strikeouts.

Second Baseman, Wareham Gatemen – Cape Cod League
Pineda started four games this past week for the Wareham Gatemen adding two hits, two RBIs and three runs to his season totals. He had his best game of the week on July 11, as he went 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs, two runs and a double in a 9-7 loss to the Harwich Mariners. On the season, Pineda has 13 hits, eight RBIs, seven walks, five doubles, two stolen bases, 11 runs and a .186 batting average. His season double total leads the Gatemen and is good enough for fifth in the Cape Cod League. Pineda also is tied for second on the team in runs scored and RBIs.
TS Reed
Second Baseman, Sedalia Bombers – M.I.N.K League
On Monday, July 13, the Bombers defeated the Nevada Griffons on their field by a score of 11-0, placing the Bombers only one game behind the top spot in the MINK South Division. The two teams play again on Tuesday July 14, giving the Bombers an opportunity to tie the division-leading Griffons for first place.
Billy Swanson
Outfielder, Edenton Steamers – Coastal Plain League
Swanson finished the season in Matador baseball with a .227 batting average. This summer Swanson has managed to really step his game up and continue to lead the Steamers with the highest batting average. Currently Swanson is batting .333 and third on the team with 32 hits and 6 doubles. This passed week Swanson has swiped another base while playing the Petersburg Generals.
Robert Vickers
Shortstop, San Luis Obispo Rattlers - California Collegiate League

SUMMERVILLE — What had been a very nice run ended with a second-round playoff loss to visiting Aiken as the Summerville High girls' basketball team dropped a 58-45 decision on Friday night.
Summerville saw its 11-game winning streak snapped and finished the season with a 20-6 record.
Summerville got off to a very slow start, falling behind 18-7 after one quarter. Though it made a run early in the third quarter, Aiken was simply too strong inside.
"The start of the game certainly did not go the way we wanted but we battled, got the lead to four and six there in the third quarter. You have to tip your hat to them (Aiken). They just hit some big shots," said Summerville coach Matt Legare. "They beat us in every facet really. They're a good team and we knew that coming in. We did think we could win. We had won 11 straight and were playing pretty good but Aiken played very well."
Aiken head coach Aubrey Pompey said his defense sparked the early run, agreeing that his team "made some big shots" to collect the road win.
"We played well defensively early," he said. "I think that really got us going."
Kwanza Murray led Summerville's effort with 14 points. Aiken placed three players in double figures, led by forward Alexis Odom with 12 points. Rebekah Muir and Erin Gilmore each added 11 points for Aiken, which improved to 18-7 on the season.
Down 26-18 at the half, Summerville trimmed the lead to four at 32-28 with 4:20 remaining.
The Greenwave then went ice cold from the floor and Aiken put the game away with a 23-2 run over the next eight minutes, taking its largest lead at 55-30 midway through the fourth quarter.
Summerville continued to battle and trimmed the lead to 11 late in the game.
"We don't quit and this basketball team showed a lot of fight tonight," said Legare. "Even with under a minute left, I think this team still believed they could win. I'm very proud of the season we had and we have a lot to look forward to."
Aiken moves on to play West Ashley in the lower state semifinal game on Monday.
