Sorry for the long break yet again but we should be back up and running for a good while now. It is time to play some catch up and the first one is from damn near a week ago called Firsts by none other then the B&B favorite, Mayer Hawthorne. The concept is very original for this tape, Hearty Magazine asked Mayer to list songs that relate to several firsts in his life and then put it all together on a tape. If you're not sure exactly what I mean click below the break to see the tracklist/concept for yourself and to grab the download link.

A 55-year-old Ridgeville man died Sunday in a Berkeley County traffic accident.
According to Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury, 55-year-old Timothy Brian Austin of Ridgeville was travelling west on Fish Road when his sedan ran off the right side of the roadway.
Mr. Austins vehicle struck several trees and overturned, partially ejecting him, Salisbury said. He was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead on the scene by Salisbury.
His death has been ruled accidental and was investigated by the Berkeley County Coroners Office and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

Guess we know one of Tiger Woods' New Year's resolutions. People is reporting that the philandering golfer is currently holed up in The Meadows, an exclusive Arizona rehabiliation clinic. Though X17 made the claim in late December, People's unnamed sex therapist dates his time of entry just after New Year's. Depending on who you believe, he may have wanted some holiday bro time—or one last tango with mistress Rachel Uchitel—before checking in.
Discussing the situation with People, Vh1's Dr. Drew Pinsky was less than certain sex rehab would solve the problem."The feature here that has caught everyone's attention is that he seems to be maintaining relationships with all these people – not just have sex with them…We're speculating sex and love are the primary issues. They may not be." It sure doesn't look like Woods' recovery process involves wife Elin Nordegren, who's still in suburban Orlando with the kids. According to X17's source, the golfer's clinic stay may have more to do with rehabilitating his career, anyway. "His handlers forced him to enter the program. They feel that if he blames his cheating on addiction, the public will forgive him." How soon before the tearful Barbara Walters interview?

But the obvious truth is it did take a great number of subscriptions from WoW seeing as it outsold WoW for the first 2-3 months and Pandaland is considered the poorest selling xpac to date. The only conclusion is GW2 did take away alot of sales.

Logic be damned!
I've recently gone back and the game is in a much better place - it's simply more fun than it was before.
I've just started exploring Orr which is fun - and apparently I'm a genius because Orr was really awful before?
sPvP is a lot of fun.
WvW still needs some major work IMO, but hopefully the big March update helps.
I really like the Living Story and can't wait to play the next chapters.
The game REALLY needs an in-game top-notch cross-realm LFG tool for dungeons/fractals.
Right now everyone seems to be using a 3rd party website, which is a huge turn off for me. The need is obviously there to do the same in game Anet.
I really hope they add in a WoW-like LFD tool when the next phase of dungeon fixes/tweaks comes out.
Beyond that, I'm still hopeful for more weapons and maybe weapon skills per weapon in the first expansion to make it a but more mix and match like GW1 was.
As it stands now, I don't really like the way the secondaries / elite skills work and I don't like the hard-set weapon skills.
Now that they've got guesting enabled, I also think they should do what WoW did and make the leveling zones cross realm to host a much healthier population across all zones.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

Actually, you attacked the game with really poor arguments that do not constitute logic or well formed thought; which is what I meant by you claiming your opinions as fact. Saying "its successful for a mediocre game" is one of those poor arguments where you do as such. So yeah, I will defend the game from baseless arguments as simple as it being called "a mediocre success".
GW2 sold faster then any other MMO to date and you cannot dispute that. MoP is a fast selling expansion, but it is not a launch MMO. WoW did not have this high of a sell through rate at this point in the game's life span, thus making GW2 outsell it. It is pretty undisputable logic. GW2 at 5 months = 3 million sold WoW at 5 months = not 3 million sold. GW2 clearly sold copies faster. End of that story.
The end of your thread is you once again stating your opinion as fact. Claiming the game is not going to become good. I also post to make people like yourself look like blundering bafoons.

I think it's a good game in the sense that they provided a lot of quality of life features and it felt like a new game, unlike SWTOR which felt dated at launch. But I really don't understand how people can play for 4-5 hours a day.
Leveling was OK but I felt that I got all my abilities way too soon, I didn't have enough abilities to choose from and only a couple of builds were viable. It's a good game for alts because of the different starting zones. The story is TERRIBLE, my characters were thief and necromancer yet I'm acting like a pussy trying to protect the innocent.... It was almost insultingly bad, like it was written for young children.
At endgame you get your + 'magic find' gear, farm events and run dungeons, with pugs. I saved up for the human t3 cultural in a couple of weeks, got the stats and weapons from explorable dungeons. What else is there to do?
I realize there is WvW but I found it boring, I'm sure it would be more fun as a guild but still not my cup of tea.

I'm in the same boat, I started with high hopes for GW2 but always knew I would be back playing WoW when the expansion came out. WoW can definitely get old but I just through some F2P games in there and go back to WoW when I need a fix.
Works out pretty good if you ask me. As far as going back to GW2 I'm fairly sure that will never happen. If they can't pull me back before a expansion I won't ever get back into that game.

GW2's combat is better then most other combats.
I have a long history of MMO's, from 7 years of EQ, to 3 years of DAoC, and 5 years of WoW ... with numerous other MMO's tossed in.
GW2 does a lot of things right, and very little wrong.
Few improvement they could make would be things like Group Finder, WvW improvements( on slate), instanced housing, Fishing, .... basically mostly fluff items to improve quality of life.
As long as they keep evolving the story and making bugs fixes the game will flourish.

Gw2lfg.com You can make groups like instantly and I am not even kidding. You post what you are looking for and can specify dungeon,ect.

GW2 socialist.
Well you know my thoughts. It met the hype for me; I was excited about a game for the first time in a decade and it didn't disappoint. Sure there were a few things I'd like to be changed like the lack of account-bound dyes, but otherwise, I love the combat, the collecting, the gameplay and the community (in-game anyway, the official forums are clogged with smug A-holes from what I've read.. I don't post there). Even the story and voice overs grow on you after a while (except the Norn female, who still sounds like she has way too much testosterone for her own good).
So yeah... and I'd be playing right now if yet another gaming computer hadn't bit the dust recently. I am not having very much luck with pc's lately. Managed to get two characters to 80 though lol

This is a good post. The points in orange especially stand out to me. The last point though I think is a great suggestion and I would take it one step further. They need to make pve zones one area with layers like STO. The layers could be named after your server and could be your default, but it should be easy to group up and join any layer together with your team mates.
More configurable weapon skills would be nice as well.
That third party site thing I'm sure works well for lots of people, but I hate that sort of thing. I don't want to jump through hoops and go through a third party just to play my game. I would rather just not run dungeons.

I'm level 80 and I've done the Ghosts of Ascalon story mode once and maybe like two of the explorables? That's it.
I really do need to be proactive and find guildies interesting in tagging along.
Kind of want to finish the personal story first though... but I barely have enough time in the day to do the daily achieves for PvE and PvP and also have time to do a dungeon or personal story chapter.

Guild Wars...Aion...RIFT...Everquest 2...Star Trek Online...SWTOR...Tera...Age of Conan...Allods...Dc Universe Online...

County wants more in inspection fees
The Union County Board of Commissioners holds a public hearing Monday to consider inspection rates for solar power farms.
An application for a $9 million solar farm was submitted to the county, according to agenda documents. County officials realized that the $60 inspection fee falls short of paying for all the inspections such a solar farm needs during construction.
Solar farms are new, so few local governments have developed an inspections fee schedule for such a facility. Catawba County was the only North Carolina county with an inspections schedule already in place.
The county's building code enforcement department staff wrote a draft fee schedule that commissioners will consider at Monday's meeting.
"Since our normal permit fees are based upon the size of the structure rather than construction cost, it was determined that the fairest approach would be to establish the permit fee on the number of megawatts produced," the agenda document states.
Considering the project size and inspection time required, the county proposes charging $1,000 per megawatt for smaller farms. Larger ones would fall into a fee scale where the price falls according to the number of megawatts. A solar farm producing more than 10 megawatts would pay $775 per megawatt.
Because the concept is so new to local government, county officials are uncertain how many inspections are needed per solar array. County staff based the fee schedule on the assumption of at least two inspections per array.
Residents can comment on the fee proposal at the public hearing held during the commissioners meeting. The Union County Board of County Commissioners meet 7 p.m. Monday in the Union County Government Building.

On the Web:
Order print copies of its comics at http://www.comicfleamarket.com. Digital copies are available at iTunes and http://www.comixology.com.
When working in any creative field, a thick skin can help temper harsh criticism. Darren Davis' hide can be as thin as a page of one of his comic books.
Davis, 44, believes his Bluewater Productions comic book publishing company is on the verge of something grand with its recent decision to dive headfirst into the not fully realized world of digital distribution and print-on-demand.
But just as he's thrilled with the potentials of such a shift -- which Davis said has already decreased expenses and helped stop the bleeding from dwindling industry-wide print sales -- prevalent Internet-based smears against Bluewater needle Davis.
A Web search for Bluewater brings up mentions by The New York Times and NBC's "Today" show, but also pages of flippant blog posts lambasting the company's latest celebrity-themed comic book; this month it was 7-year-old reality show lightning rod Honey Boo Boo. Throw in anonymous personal attacks and it's almost too much to take for someone like Davis, a self-described "outcast."
"I don't have a thick skin," he said. "I internalize it, I stress out about it."
Therapy sessions help Davis depressurize a bit, but the lingering feeling remains that, to some, he is a comiclike villain in a trade he adores.
"I end up doing nothing about it and I let it fester," Davis said.
Bluewater Productions, which releases about 10 titles a month, splits its output between typical comic fare of fantastical tales and the more-lucrative biographical stories featuring the likes of Lady Gaga,
Howard Stern and Kristen Stewart. It also worked with William Shatner on comic versions of his "TekWar" novels and 1960s TV Batman Adam West on "The Mis-Adventures of Adam West."
Stewart, the "Twilight" series star, is one of a handful of presumably irritated celebrities who filed cease-and-desist letters with Bluewater for using their likenesses. But Davis is adamant his company is well within the law to publish the sometimes-unauthorized biographies as long as it continues to avoid violating copyrights in its books. He said his company has never been sued.
"The biography comics changed the way that we published," Davis said about adding nonfiction to his company's catalog in 2008. "If it wasn't for those, we wouldn't be around."
After a nearly 25 percent sales spike between 2009 and 2010, thanks to those biographical books receiving broad exposure, Bluewater reports its yearly income now generally gravitates around $2 million.
Besides its large team of regular freelance artists and writers, Bluewater has only four employees. The company moved to Vancouver from Bellingham in 2009.
Davis estimates he sells between 5,000 and 10,000 copies of his popular titles, but others have failed to take hold, selling only hundreds. He said the break-even point on a comic is about 1,800 copies. Occasionally, a Bluewater biographical book will skyrocket in sales. A Michelle Obama comic, part of the ongoing "Female Force" series, sold a massive 150,000 or so.
But with digital and print-on-demand there's more leeway, especially when you eliminate pricey paper and ink costs, Davis said. Bluewater's graphic novels, longer than standard single-issue comics, are still available in traditional brick-and-mortar shops.
The country's largest independent comic book publisher, Dark Horse Comics, headquartered in Milwaukie, Ore., is in the midst of its own digital rebirth. Last year it launched an iPhone app, followed by other digital platforms. On Nov. 19 the company made many of its titles available on the Kindle e-reader.
"The physical printed copies will never go away, although it is going to become a smaller part of the market as time goes on," said Mark Bernardi, Dark Horse director of digital publishing.
Criticisms persist
The criticisms against Bluewater aren't just held to the world of blogs. Because of what he felt were increasingly negative attitudes toward the company from many in the comic world, Chris Simons, owner of I Like Comics, 2101 E. Fourth Plain Blvd., stopped carrying their titles, many of which he dismisses as "sensationalistic."
Some will always find fault in Bluewater's business decisions, Davis said, particularly in printing the biography comics that keep the company afloat, but also open it up to denigration from comic purists.
"They thought we were basically whores and bottom feeders," he said. "If you take anything out of the superheroes and tights people have a problem calling it a comic book."
Davis said he loves the Vancouver community and makes it a point to have Bluewater be a part of it. The company regularly holds free comic creation workshops for kids at libraries and schools. The Ridgefield Community Library hosted classes in 2010 and 2011.
Ridgefield Senior Library Assistant Lois Lamkin said there was a "little bit of magic" in the room last year as Davis showed children how to create entirely new worlds with only pencil and paper.
"They are amazing," Lamkin said. "They give the kids the whole feel of what it takes to produce a comic book."
While he still searches for himself on the Web and continually comes across fresh attacks or crummy reviews, Davis is trying to keep a level head about the insults. It continues to irk him, but he's now learning an important lesson.
"I've learned that I'm not my company. When they attack my company, they are not attacking me personally," he said.

"Most applications that format drives automatically set it to 64kb, even if you tell it to do 32kb. A simple double check will make sure it's right."
I believe if your hard drive is larger than 500GB you have to use Acronis Disk Director 11 Advanced to check: right click your disk/change cluster size/current cluster size:
I use Acronis Disk Director 11 Advanced to check my hard drive cluster size and it was 64KB so I change it to 32KB and I did not lose any data and it is very quick.
You can examine the properties of a file on the disk (preferably a very small one made with Notepad) and it's "size on disk" can tell you the cluster size. For instance, this 1 byte file consumes 4KB (4096 bytes) on disk because 4KB (4096 bytes) is the cluster size. If it consumes 32KB (32,768 bytes) on the disk the cluster size is 32KB. If it consumes 64KB (65536 bytes) the cluster size is 64KB.

I remove the HB stuff and kept it on the computer and I left all my games and videos on the HDD and I change the cluster size from 64KB to 32KB and I did not lose any data and all the games and videos works perfect after.
IOS236 is recommended but some use IOS249, they both work.
EaseUS does let you change cluster size, just not without erasing your data.Originally Posted by candylove
With Acronis and MiniTool you could change the cluster size without reformatting the HDD and no data loss.

Thanks guys for the information and quick responses! Do you think the Cluster Size could be the culprit and causing the Black Screen after the DIOS MIOS Logo (I hope that is the issue! Looks to be an easy fix.)?
That is true, but it does allow you to change it though. Just costs you a lot of time and, unless you back it up, all your data too.Originally Posted by candylove

As he did last season, Master Matchmaker and VH1 Tough Love commander Steve Ward will weigh in with his thoughts on each episode of his show. Below, Steve talks about episode 2: Taylor's return, the dunking lesson, Rocky's new-found softness and why the guys he sets the girls up with have to be hot.
What do you think about Taylor returning?
I said it on the show: Taylor's there because I wanted her there. She had more work to do, and I think that was pretty obvious the second you laid eyes on her. Did you see when she was doing her OTFs and her hair was all frizzy because it was shot after the dunk tank, but before the makeovers? She had all this gold bronzer on her. That's what she thinks is a good look.
She didn't look like that last season, though.
Between Season 1 and Season 2, she got her breasts augmented, she changed her hair, she found a guy. She was trying to change, but not in a way that made her any better for a relationship.
That's interesting: you think the hair is part of her trying to take what you went over last season and just getting it wrong?
I think it's a cry for help. I think the girl wants attention, or even needs it to feel secure, and so she'll do things to change the way she looks dramatically just to get a response. I don't know if she cares that it's positive or negative. She thinks she looks fabulous. And honestly, if you feel fabulous, you are fabulous. I mean, I'll tell you what men are thinking when we look at you, but no matter what, I appreciate the confidence.
You say she has regressed.
Taylor feels that just because she found a guy that likes her, she's fine the way she is, yet she needs me to validate the relationship. That doesn't make sense. If you're really into the person, you shouldn't need that. What am I gonna do, put my rubber stamp of approval on it? That's why she thought she was there, at least.
Any thoughts on the makeovers as a whole?
My mom was really helpful in that scene. Without her, I wouldn't have known what type of outfits to go with or how to style their makeup or hair. She wanted to make sure the girls felt good about themselves and the way they looked. If you notice, she was at the masquerade ball, too. She got dressed in a beautiful gown. She wanted to be an example for the girls, and I think she did a great job of that.
It was impressive that your mom was able to persuade Taylor to actually undergo her makeover.
Yeah, Mom's great. She shot me a look when she brought Taylor back in that kinda said to me, "Shut up, and do what I say." She didn't even have to say a word to me. I was livid with Taylor, I was ready to throw her out again, and all Mom had to do was shoot me that look, and I swallowed my pride and my ego and reconciled with Taylor on the spot.
During the dunking…experience, Kanisha was the only one who answered all the questions right. Did that surprise you?
No! I was so tough on her during the first episode, she was the first one to get the point. She learned after the first group that she did not want to do the worst. She actually concentrated at the task at hand, and knew that it was going to amount to something. She wanted to impress me, and she did a great job.
Angel did the worst…
But that happens to everybody. Sometimes when you're talking to somebody, you're just so into them that you don't care what they're saying. I'm trying to point out that it's not all about you. If you don't pay attention, despite how enamored you are, you may miss something you need to know. And then, if that person references something they already told you, they'll just take that as a lack of interest, even if that couldn't be further from the truth.
Rocky asked you about mentioning her daughter to a guy and you say that she should connect before mentioning her kid. But doesn't she run a similar risk of turning him off if she mentions her daughter after talking to someone for a while?
The point is that you have to own the connection yourself. You should develop it on your terms. Don't sit there and act like you're applying for a job. Think of it as doing your own investigative reporting. Until you feel like the guy's got potential, why bother letting him in on all these personal aspects of your life?
Rocky did the best this week, thanks to a turnaround at the masquerade, where she was "softer."
That was my point. Everybody thought she looked a million times better. Do you think that her change in demeanor had more to do with what I said to her, or more to do with how she looked in the mirror? I argue it was the mirror. It's so easy for women to feel like they're changing when they actually see a change physically. Rocky just bought into it: I look soft, I'll act soft.
Jenna did pretty well, too.
I was trying to instill some confidence in her via the makeover. I told her after that she looked amazing, she looked like she was going to the Oscars. I was trying to butter her up. The one problem is that she talked to a guy who thought she was cool, and she was like, "Eh…" It's almost like she's afraid to show interest, because if she does and he doesn't reciprocate, she doesn't want to seem like she put herself out there.
Angel was even less interested at the party than she was during the amusement-park date.
That's what it seems like, which can be a real problem. The thing is that even if you're not into a guy that you're with, you have to remember that we live in a hyper-connected world now. What if that guy goes home and puts as his Facebook status, "Just got back from the worst date ever"? And then someone comments, "With who?" And he says, "Jenna." And they go back and forth and it's on a wall that everyone can see. People have to use their heads. If you're not into a guy, at least treat him like a client or a customer or a patient or a student. Treat him like somebody that you have a responsibility to be kind to.
Any thoughts on Liz's date with Dave? They seem to be connecting really well.
They are, but again, I wish she wasn't always second-guessing him. I'm gonna get to the root of why she always second-guesses men when they try to be nice or complimentary or generous.
Liz is an amazing reality show character. Did she strike you as such in person?
Yeah. She's very funny. A lot of the stuff she says doesn't make it on TV. She's a walking sound bite.
I'm kind of afraid for where she's headed with Dave, though. You mentioned the problems with so-called "love at first sight" in the episode…
You can see what's coming by the way she questions Dave. That's the whole point. That's why these women are here. They start showing promise right away, and then they begin showing their true colors and push the person away. It's interesting because I have to first figure out if he's the right guy for her. Before I really go into how she's nurturing it, at the very least, I can use him as a way to demonstrate how she falls into her pattern. You have to get them in front of people they're attracted to so that you can watch them do what they do and sabotage themselves, and then you can point it out. We deal with that everyday as matchmakers. When we set up clients with people they aren't interested in, they really don't care about the feedback. It's not until you set them up with someone they like and that person comes back with something critical that they actually take a look at themselves and say, "Maybe I should be doing something different." I was watching the show with someone last night and they said, "Why are all the men on your show so good looking?" I'm like, "Because the girls don't listen if they're not hot!"
VH1 and Shecky's have teamed up for a contest, in which the grand prize includes a trip to New York and a consultation with Steve and JoAnn Ward. Click below for details!

Historic fire regimes of eastern Great Basin (USA) mountains reconstructed from tree rings
Kitchen, Stanley G. 2010. Historic fire regimes of eastern Great Basin (USA) mountains reconstructed from tree rings. Provo, UT: Brigham Young University. 166 p. Dissertation.
Management of natural landscapes requires knowledge of key disturbance processes and their effects. Fire and forest histories provide valuable insight into how fire and vegetation varied and interacted in the past. I constructed multi-century fire chronologies for 10 sites on six mountain ranges representative of the eastern Great Basin (USA), a region in which historic fire information was lacking. I also constructed tree recruitment chronologies for two sites. I use these chronologies to address three research foci. First, using fire-scar data from four heterogeneous sites, I assert that mean fire interval (MFI) values calculated from composite chronologies provide suitable estimates of point MFI (PMFI) when sample area size is ≈1/2 ha. I also suggest that MFI values for single trees can be used to estimate PMFI after applying a correction factor. Next, I infer climate effects on regional fire patterns using 10 site chronologies and tree-ring-based indices of drought and of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation ([PDO), Pacific Ocean surface temperature variability known to affect North American climate. Regional fire years (≥33% of recording sites) were synchronized by wet-dry cycles where the probability of occurrence was highest in the first year of drought following a wet phase and lowest when climate conditions transitioned from dry to wet. Regional fire probability was highest when ENSO and PDO were negative (Southwest pattern). Local fire years occurred under a broad range of conditions. Fire seasonality was bimodal with early and late-season fires dominant. I imply that Native American burning practices were responsible for differences in historic and modern fire seasonality. Lastly, I assess fire regime and tree recruitment variability within two fire-sheds. PMFI varied more than 10-fold within each site. A mixed-severity regime was dominant. A majority (>60%) of fires were small (<10 ha) but together accounted for a minor proportion of area burned. Recruitment pulses varied spatially from stand to landscape-scales and were often synchronous with multi-decade, fire-quiescent periods. I recommend that management strategies employ fire and fire-surrogate treatments to restore disturbance processes to these and similar landscapes at spatial and temporal scales consistent with the historic record.

MMA News
Chris Weidman: Belfort could take whatever he wants and just cycle off without a TUE
Chris Weidman is set to defend his UFC Middleweight Championship against Vitor Belfort. Dana White recently announced that the match will take place on either the Memorial Day weekend card or the July 4th weekend card.
There is no doubt that Vitor Belfort has evolved immensely since his younger days. As a competitor who has fought in three different weight classes, the fluctuations in body-weight could do some serious damage to your health. Now, Belfort relies on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to even out the playing field against his opponents inside the octagon.
Some think TRT is good for the sport and some think it negatively effects it. Dana White has gone on record stating he thinks TRT should be banned from the sport altogether. Weidman recently called Belfort a 'juice head', and said it would be a privilege to beat him up.
Still, despite all the criticism, Vitor Belfort will apply a TRT use-exemption in his upcoming fight against Weidman in Nevada, a state that is notorious for being tough on performance enhancing drug users.
Amongst all this excitement, Chris Weidman was a recent guest on Sirius XM's 'Fight Club' radio show and shared his thoughts on several topics, including the Belfort/TRT drama.
Weidman actually said that he would be fine with Belfort getting a TRT use-exemption. MMAMania's Michael Stets transcribed the following:
"I don't know how it works," Weidman said. "I just asked Lorenzo (Fertitta) … and he said that [Belfort] is going to try to get the TRT. But whether he gets it or not, I was happy to hear that we will be tested and stuff like that. He (Fertitta) would be surprised if we didn't get tested throughout the camp…"
"Because what I heard is… Someone else told me that if he doesn't apply for the TRT — because I heard that he wasn't going to apply at first — if he doesn't apply, then he doesn't get tested during the camp and stuff like that, so then he would be able to take whatever he wants and cycle off like these other guys do. If he gets the TRT then he has to get tested all the time. So, I was like 'I wonder where he is going with this.' So I don't know… I'm just happy to hear that because he failed a drug test before, that he will get tested."
Do you think Belfort should be approved for TRT usage by the NSAC? Share your thoughts below!
0 Responses to "Chris Weidman: Belfort could take whatever he wants and just cycle off without a TUE"
U cant just do whatever and cycle off. They test u throughout the entire training camp. And u can be tested at anytime. It takes atleast a month to properly cycle off. TRT is only used to level u out as u get older and it decreases. Like the guy above said. Its fair for the oldheads to use it to even out w the younger guys. As long as ur test levels arent over the allowed limit. All it does is give weidman an excuse. He will be on it when he is 40 as well
Are you serious bro? Number one you are a moron because you clearly have no clue how this stuff is being abused. It is used for older guys who have a testosterone deficiency. Not for guys to get back to the testosterone levels of a 22 year old. Number 2, what these guys like Vitor do is known as blasting and cruising in the steroid community. They take extremely high amounts of testosterone (blast) for a cycle, and then go to the TRT dosage when the testing will begin (cruise.) The benefit here is 2 fold: 1 when you test positive for testosterone you are under "care of a physician" for so no flags are raised, 2nd during the blasting phase they will increase their strength levels beyond what would otherwise be their max potential. You should really educate yourself before you run your mouth about people making excuses.
YEP Steve is right, and for your information, vitor belfort tested LOW testosterone last fight, LOL
You guys are right. Vitor is getting older, and that's not fair! How dare we let this happen to people! Next thing you know people will start dying of old age and stuff! For shame! Let vitor juice! Also make sure not to notice his HGH gut! That also would be unfair!
Ben fingers babies.
I do. So bend over sparky.
Its cheating, ever heard the saying youth vs expierence? Thats the adv for being older is the exp and more knowledge. Now they get all the yrs of exp and a young mans strength lol. And it doesnt even them out, they can test wiithin 6-1 lol thats still higher than normel. And its obvious in pic and perfotmance that it is def helping him.
Not to mention that it's obviously not just testosterone. during his athletic peek, when his testosterone levels would be their highest, he was much smaller than now. 36 year olds don't suddenly become rippling comic book characters. He's been popped for roids before, and he's clearly on some pretty intense stuff now. He's a master cycler/cheater and I'll never understand how anyone can root for him.
Nope, Steve isn't right and neither are you. The system is so easy to manipulate it is comical. The problem is many people are like you and just assume that "he had low test" so he couldn't have an advantage. The truth is they (and you) know nothing about steroids and how they are used or better yet abused. Let me explain to you how easily I could generate a low test result for testing purposes. If I knew I was being tested for my fight 2-3 Saturdays from now here is what I would do that would cause the very result that Vitor had (low.) In a typical steroid cycle users will split their weekly shot into 2 doses. They will inject every 3.5 days. The reason for this is to reduce spikes in hormone levels (ie it keeps your levels stable.) In any case, I would know what my levels are on my cycle. This can easily be done by having yourself tested at any independent lab(quest diagnostics for example), and can be done anonymously. Now, NSAC will have the levels (or really the range) they require predetermined. In the 2-3 weeks leading up to the fight, all I need to do is begin reducing the dosage of my shot. The half life of longer ester steroids is 7-10 days. This means that after that time the levels would begin to come down. As they come down with my reduced dosage so would my test ratio. By the time I was tested on fight day I could be low. The great news for a steroid user is that it takes months for the gains(strength and otherwise) you made while using to begin to slip. Hopefully you are not just a blind of fan of Vitor or any other fighter who is abusing TRT, and you can have an informed opinion based off the info I just shared with you. Feel free to fact check my info, you will find I am right on point.
Pppft.. sorry Dr phill.. we all didnt realise your a expert and have accredited training in the area. Your a know it all know nothing wanker
TRT or not Chris is gonna drop the hammer down on Belfort!
TRT is not just to even out the playing field. They can jack their T/E levels up to the maximum allowed 4:1. There are men who have those levels naturally but it's very, very rare. Using TRT to get to the maximum 4:1 is by no means fair.
I use it… then again, I'm a 43 year old man that has it prescribed by my doctor. The stuff is amazing, however when used wrongly (Sports)… then it is most definitely cheating. At 43, it does not turn you into Superman, but it does make you feel 10-15 years younger/stronger/faster… I can imagine its effects on a fighter.
Yes he should be tested for trt so he can be tested throughout his camp training..
if weudman wuz as tuff as he thinks he is he should be like…ill beat his ass with or without him being on trt…thats being a real man

You may have noticed I've been missing since February. Don't worry, I'm still here just haven't been blogging. I had major surgery in April and it made me realize I need to focus my time better so instead of writing four blogs (crazy!), I am going to only write two. To read more about the last few months and the surgery, here are links to posts in my main blog, EvinOK:
Guest Post by Jeni Pim: Perseverance
Recovering from Open Liver Resection Surgery
The last of those links details the growth and its removal as well as my recovery. It was a rough road but I wanted to share my experience with others to help them be less fearful of the surgery. It is intimidating but not impossible.

Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park
Coordinates: 40°44′49″N 73°10′4″W / 40.74694°N 73.16778°W Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park is an arboretum located in the hamlet of Great River, New York, on Long Island. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for William Bayard Cutting in 1887.
The house at the heart of the park, Westbrook, is modeled on an English country house. Both the house and property were given to the people of Long Island by Bayard Cutting's widow and daughter "to provide an oasis of beauty and quiet for the pleasure, rest, and refreshment of those who delight in outdoor beauty; and to bring about a greater appreciation and understanding of the value and importance of informal planting".
Charles Sprague Sargent, director of the Arnold Arboretum advised in developing the extensive conifer collection north of the carriage house. Some of the most mature planting was damaged in Hurricane Gloria in 1985.
William Bayard Cutting's grandfather, Robert Cutting, had been Robert Fulton's partner in the ferry from Brooklyn to New York; they married sisters who were daughters of Walter Livingston. Cutting developed railroad interests in West India; his son was a pioneer in refining sugar from sugar beets.
In 1895 Cutting and his brother installed a golf course at Westbrook, which was the first private golf course in the United States.[1]
When a fire in 1895 burned down many of the farm buildings, Stanford White was commissioned to draw the plans for a modern dairy, Westbrook Farms, with many innovative features.
Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park is one of the last remaining estates on the South Shore of Long Island. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973 as a historic district.[2]
In addition to a nature trail and recreational programs, there is a food and a gift shop at Westbrook.
George Roussos took photographs of various Long Island estates, and his photographs at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park were collected in his book, The Bayard Cutting Arboretum History: A History and Description of William Bayard Cutting and His Country House, Westbrook, Great River, L.I. Oakdale, New York: The Board of Trustees and the Long Island State Park and Recreation Commission, 1984.[3]

4. The system of
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/592,843, filed Jul. 29, 2004, the complete disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
In the healthcare industry, the availability of supply products is critical. Various systems exist that provide tracking of product usage, quick replenishment, user tracking, and patient tracking for billing purposes.
In addition, closed cabinet systems exist that prevent the removal of items without the entry of necessary data to perform the above tracking and prevent diversion or theft. Such a system is particularly applicable to the expensive items that are used in an operating room (OR) or cath lab. However, closed cabinet systems are also applicable to the high volume diversion of inexpensive items that are useful outside the healthcare facility such as batteries, bandages, shampoos, pens etc., where the user may consider the item too small to be considered "theft."
In developing such systems, the challenge lies in balancing convenience and speed of access along with entering the necessary data to identify the user, the product and the account number or patient. Systems that dispense an individual product in the same manner as a candy machine, while desirable for convenience and security, are usually too expensive, require special packaging, and are not flexible in terms of the various size and configurations of product that need to be stocked in a hospital. They are also not very space efficient, since items are individually spaced and housed.
The use of RFID tags on products presents an opportunity to track individual products without the need for expensive dispensing systems. This is particularly true of expensive product where it is worth incurring the additional expense of applying the RFID tags. RFID tags are not currently available on products like bar codes, and are not likely to be generally available on healthcare products for many years.
The invention provides both methods and apparatus for the application of RFID tags to an inventory of products in a medical environment. The applied RFID tags provide tracking, monitoring, protecting and safeguarding of the inventory of products when used in conjunction with an RFID cabinet having RFID reading capability. In one embodiment, an RFID tag may be added to a product by affixing the RFID tag to the product. The RFID tag is then read, and the resulting identification information associated with the product using a computer containing a database. Also, various product information may be associated with the identification information from the RFID tag in the database. Examples of product information that may be associated with the identification information includes an internal product ID number used in the hospitals data base, a lot number, a serial number, an expiration date, a UPN or HIBCC bar code or the like. In another embodiment, the invention provides an automatic reading system for associating an RFID tag and product information. The system comprises a conveyor belt for moving a product having an RFID tag and a bar code. The system also includes a first tunnel comprising a first RFID scanner and a first bar code scanner. The first tunnel is positioned above the conveyor belt for reading the RFID tag and the bar code on the product traveling down the conveyor belt. Also, a collecting device is employed for receiving the product, and a computer with an associated database records the association between the RFID tag and the product information. In some cases, a second tunnel having a second RFID scanner and a second bar code scanner may be used as well.
Described below are several exemplary embodiments of the invention. Although certain features are described, for ease of discussion, in relation to certain illustrated embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate, based on the disclosure herein, that various of the inventive features can be combined in accordance with many different embodiments of the invention. The illustrated embodiments below, therefore, are provided merely by way of example and should not be considered to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined only by the appended claims.
Currently, products for use in the health care industry do not have RFID tags. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, it is desirable to apply RFID tags to products. In one example, a tag may be used which includes a read-many unique ID. In such cases, the RFID tag may be read and the number associated with a particular product. Prior to the association of a tag with a product, the RFID tags can be applied freely to products—e.g. no particular tag is applied to a particular product. This is useful since relatively unskilled personnel may perform the task of adding the RFID tags to products. In some cases (e.g. liquids and metals), it may be desirable to place a spacer between the tag and the product to raise the tag off the surface.
After the RFID tag is affixed to a product, the tag from each product is read into a database associated with a central computer. The corresponding product information is associated with the appropriate RFID tag and entered into the database. The product information may include, but is not limited to some or all of the following: 1) the internal product ID number used in the hospitals database; 2) the lot number; 3) the serial number; 4) the expiration date; and/or 5) the UPN or HIBCC bar code. Much of the product information may already be in bar code form on the product. For example, the hospital's internal product ID can usually be deduced from the UPN on the product using other hospital databases. Therefore, the process of associating this information with the unique RFID tag number can be a simple scanning process. First, an RFID scanning device scans the RFID tag number. Next, bar code scanning device scans the UPN (retrieving the hospital ID number from another table). Finally, the bar code scanner scans the lot number and serial number (if applicable).
In some cases, the numbers are encoded so that the product information may be deciphered from scanning a single bar code. As such, there is the potential to automate the process. Items with unassociated RFID tags are placed on a conveyor belt. The items pass through a reading tunnel that reads the RFID number. A bar code reading system reads any bar code(s) on the product package. A computer parses the information and associates the RFID number from the RFID tag with the product information from the bar code.
Furthermore, if products of like type pass through at the same time, the computer may be programmed as to which bar codes and which information was expected. This would allow products having missing or suspect information to be diverted into a "re-read hopper" for either re-reading or for manual reading.
In an alternate embodiment, the product may be sent through a second identical conveyor and reading tunnel. The information associated with the product is read a second time. The second reading is checked against information previously read into the database. If there is a discrepancy, the product may be diverted and rejected.
Another aspect of the present invention provides an alarming and alerting capability. In this example, there may be instances where an urgent alarm or alert needs to be issued to alert the user about a specific message associated with the item being dispensed.
In yet another embodiment there would be two tunnels, the second tunnel reading the same information as the first tunnel. This information gathered from the second reading using the second tunnel is compared to the first reading using the first tunnel utilizing computer 29. If the two readings do not agree, then the product would be rejected. Computer 29 would use an actuation mechanism to divert that particular product, or remove it from the belt into a re-work hopper. A technician may then examine a product in the re-work hopper and, if necessary, re-label the product.
