Let's start at the beginning. Spyro the Dragon burst onto the original PlayStation all the way back in 1998. In the 15 years since, he's appeared in 13 different games. While he personally doesn't play a big role in Skylanders: SWAP Force, the character's late-90s arcade adventure puzzle roots are clearly showing.
If you've never made the trek to Skylands, skipping over both Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and last year's Giants, this is as good a time as any to find out what all the fuss is about.
The story is simple: Lord Kaos is plotting to find the ancient guardians of Skylands and turn them evil, and it's up to the Skylanders to stop him. You, as a Portal Master, must find the right combination of fantasy creatures to overthrow Kaos - and his mother - before he can condemn the world to certain doom!
By "combination", I don't just mean picking the right character from a menu. Swap Force - like previous Skylanders games - uses real-world toys and a real-world Portal of Power. Choose the Skylander you want to play with, pop it onto the Portal, and it will appear in-game, like magic.
This time around, the characters are swappable - you can take the top from one and the bottom from another, and combine them into an all-new Skylander, each one with its own special abilities.
You'll use these special, swappable skills to progress through the game. Some regions can only be completed by using Water-type Skylanders, like Wash Buckler, others need Fire, like Blast Zone - and then there are some that need a character who is both water *and* fire, like Blast Buckler or Wash Zone!
There are 16 Swappable Skylanders that you can get for Swap Force, adding up to 256 possible combinations - and the in-game marketing department doesn't let you forget that you really should pick up every single one as they all have their own parts to play.
While it was technically possible (although difficult) to 100% Skylanders: Giants with the single figure you got in the Starter Pack, there are areas of the Swap Force world that you simply cannot access with the three figures you already have. This means, either you have to do away with your notions of completion, or you'll have to pick up extra characters in order to find all of the Winged Sapphires, unlock all of the gates, and wear all of the hats. (Your old characters will work, by the way - in fact, some gates do not require swap features, and others actually need Giants to open them!)
But - back to the game itself. Swappability isn't the only new thing added to Swap Force. Your Skylanders can now jump! Finally, no more relying on bounce pads. The game now feels much deeper and more multi-layered, not to mention more interesting to explore. Wander through lava-filled caves, misty grottoes and lush jungle scenes, each one filled with treasure chests, collectable items and plenty of objects to smash.
And it's stunning. The game is a joy to look at, all bright colours and flashing lights - the animation glitches of previous titles are well and truly fixed. This year's new issue: A camera angle that always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I found myself reaching for the right analogue stick trying to move my viewpoint around.
There are 17 different stages to Skylanders: SWAP Force, and each one's different enough to keep us interested. None is particularly challenging - even on higher difficulty settings - but then again, we've probably played a few more games than the target audience.
If you look carefully, you might see evidence that Skylanders: SWAP Force boasts a detailed action/RPG tucked away under its child-friendly platformer exterior. Each character - each *half* a character, top and bottom - can be upgraded as you progress through the game, resulting in a unique skillset tailored to your gameplay style.
The longer you play, the more new levels your own Portal Master Rank will achieve too - and with those new levels come new things to buy in the in-game shop. From a less-retail-centric viewpoint, you'll also unlock more pedestals to show off treasures you've collected, too - and these in turn unlock more new skills.
This is Vicarious Visions' first time at the helm of the Skylanders Series - and the Swap Force concept came out of an idea for a completely different, standalone game from the studio. Reassuringly for fans of the series, the new team has not fixed what ain't broke - instead introducing new and overdue elements and polishing old favourites.
It might not have something for everyone, but what it does have is pretty special. Kids are - inevitably - going to fall in love with Skylanders all over again. Grown-ups might not feel the need to hunt this one down for themselves, but more than a couple of mums and dads are going to be playing this one at night after the kids have gone to bed. There are three save-game slots now, by the way, so you can keep your adventures separate.
Skylanders: SWAP Force is probably best described as a combination of video game and real-world toy collection. The game comes with a Portal of Power, and three new figures - Wash Buckler and Blast Zone, who are swappable, and Ninja Stealth Elf, who is not. The single-player storyline is able to be completely finished with just these three characters.
To unlock more of the SWAP Force world, you'll also need at least five more figures plus a Giant, to cover all eight elements and Giant-specific tasks. These are available in games retailers and are also popping up around the place second-hand, if you want to save a bit of money.

Why you should avoid women in their late twenties
Something strange happens to most single women when they hit twenty-six. It's around that age, that females, who aren't married, start craving a ring worse than Michael Jordan at the end of his basketball career. How do I know this? Because, I meet these chicks all the time, and as a single man, who isn't looking for a lifelong commitment, they are a pain in the ass to deal with.
I have to admit, some women have no interest in getting married, and no matter how old they become, that doesn't change. I know, I dated one for three years. But that's an anomaly. Most people in general, male or female, desire finding that special someone to spend eternity with. However, when a woman who is "marriage oriented" hits that magical age, true love and soul mates go out the window, and they usually settle for the first "he aint all that bad" guy who goes on bended knee for them.
When girls are in their late teens, early twenties, it's all about either getting laid, or falling for the charming, metrosexual, Johnny Depp look-a-like, guitar playing asshole. They are expressing their sexual freedoms, while at the same time, looking for that man of their dreams. They have time to kill, and marriage is the last thing on the mind. But when 26 rolls around, and they're still single, LOOK OUT!
You see, these woman start looking around, and seeing their female cohorts getting hooked up, and suddenly, they have nobody to hang out with anymore. They realize the guitar playing asshole won't make any real money, and their "charming sensitivity" was all bullshit to get in your pants, anyway. Pressure starts building up from family, from work, and the biological clock is ticking like a motherfucker.
I've known girls who have dated friends of mine for 2 years straight, but because they were too slow buying a ring for them, they got dumped for another man who was more marriage oriented. If I've seen it once, I've seen it a hundred times. And to be honest, I can understand the thought process. Why waste valuable years of your youth with someone who isn't willing to make the ultimate serious commitment? The last thing you want is to be 31, single, and still dealing with dickheads who just want a piece of in-house pussy.
Okay, so I understand the thought process, but as a man, who is 29, and not really all that marriage oriented(well scratch that, it depends, if i meet the right lady), I find dealing with women in their late twenties an exercise in futility. First, they never give up the pussy right away, which to be honest, isn't always a bad thing. Who wants to date the town whore? But after about four dates, though, I should be getting some ass, and when I don't, I get disinterested and I rarely change my mind about that.
Why? Well, the truth is, I'm a different kinda guy! I have my PHD, which stands for "PINK HOUSE DEGREE." I've seen chicks just like the ones I'm now dealing with, when they were 21, fuck someone they barely knew, two hours after first being introduced to them. It happened all the time at the old Pink House, and though each person should be judged separately, I tend to lump certain ones into groups. Meaning, any chick that would mess with a man like me, probably used to be a slut back in the day. I don't know, I attract girls like that for some odd reason!
Anyway, now, because they're a little older, and harsh realities of life come into play, I'm the one who has to wait five or six dates to get what others got right away four years earlier? Fuck that. What I normally do is play the game until I get tired of lying, and then I move on to the next girl if I don't get it when I want to get it. That's why I prefer to date girls that are younger than 26, or older than 35.
When a chick hits 35, if they aren't married, they are probably divorced, or are one of those anomaly chicks that hate marriage. Divorced women in their mid to late 30's are the best thing going today. They've already settled for that "he aint all that bad" guy ten years earlier, and figured out that, HE REALLY WAS ALL THAT BAD. That daydream of the perfect wedding, and the white picket fence, goes out the window, and they are now realists. I love dealing with these ladies because they have even less interest in getting married as I do, because they've lived it, and know how bad it is. But alas, these chicks are had to find. They aren't in the clubs or bars. Mostly, because they either have good jobs they have to wake up early for in the mornings, or kids they have to explain fractions to at home. But if you can find any of them, they will give up the "P" right away! Probably, just a theory of mine, because its starting to dry up, and they need some lovin' really, really bad! But again, these ladies are HARD to find, because they aren't all that socially active anymore. And also, they tend to like older men, so they don't have to deal with "early 30's single man bullshit," which I can understand completely!
In conclusion, if you're a guy, and your in a relationship with a girl who is in her mid to late twenties, you better be shopping for a ring if you want to keep her, because I can assure you, she's shopping for one herself. And if you're the one who isn't going to give it to her, she'll find someone else who will, and you'll be a DISTANT memory.
So take heed!
And also, you really should explore the over 35 divorced mothers. They are diamonds in the rough!

Action Teams – a unique, challenging and totally life changing Christian gap year programme.
It's a chance for you to get involved in what God is doing across the world. An opportunity to plunge yourself into another culture, share the love of Jesus in practical ways, inspire others for mission and let God work in your life every step of the way.

The Action Team gap year is totally unique and made up of three parts: training, overseas and tour.
Your four weeks of training at IMC in Birmingham will include preparation for crossing cultures, getting to know and share Jesus with others better, team building, church placements and much, much more.
"Training was incredible! There was such a community feel and I made some lifelong friends. Spiritually it was a privilege to be able to worship, learn and grow alongside like minded young Christians. Amazing!" (Ben - Italy Action Team)
Step out of your comfort zone, connect with another culture and make a difference in people's lives. From working with the homeless in Asia, to teaching street kids in South America; from youth work in Africa to church work in Europe – we'll commission you out in teams to share your Christian faith in practical ways to one of our many locations around the world.
"Overseas was six months of learning from new cultures, tasting weird and wonderful foods, putting our awesome and challenging mission calls into practice, growing in faith and love for God and being able to reach amazing people and share in Christian fellowship. It's eye opening, inspiring and a life changing experience. Do it!" (Beth - India Kolkata Action Team)
The UK tour is an amazing opportunity to share your gap year experiences and inspire others to get involved with mission. Eight weeks spent at eight churches leading youth and children's events, taking lessons and assemblies in schools, leading church services and anything else that comes to mind…
"I loved tour but it was the most challenging part of the gap year and stretched me the most as a Christian. I have realised that through God's power I am able to do so much more than I ever thought I could." (Hannah - Nepal Action Team)

2 wounded in gun attacks-A A +A
Friday, May 9, 2014
TWO people, including an Indian national, were wounded on two separate gun attacks in Zamboanga City, the police reported Friday.
The police identified the victims as Sukhjinder Singh, 28, and Haidil Saddaramil, 59, a resident of Putik and Upper Calarian villages, respectively.
The police said that Singh was shot and wounded by one of two men riding tandem on a motorcycle around 8:25 p.m. Thursday in front of his residence in the village of Putik, east of this city.
Investigation showed that Singh was driving his motorcycle and had just arrived coming from the residence of his cousin, Raj Singh, in the nearby village of Guiwan when shot by the suspects who tailed him.
The police said Singh, who is into lending business, was hit twice and was admitted at the hospital for treatment.
Saddaramil, meanwhile, was shot and wounded by one of two men riding tandem on a motorcycle around 6 p.m. Thursday in the village of Upper Calarian, west of this city.
Saddaramil was driving his motorcycle on the way home when shot by the riding in tandem suspects who tailed him, the police said.
Investigation continues in a bid to establish the motive of the two incidents as well as to unmask the suspects, the police said. (Bong Garcia)

Your 'Aha' weight-loss moments
Best Protein Powders to Buy
When I was younger, it really didn't matter what protein I used as long as I got enough into my body. I would make sure I got in at least 1 gram per pound of body weight.
But times have changed and there is a lot of information supporting the consumption of whey protein to build muscle which is why I started doing my research. There are SO many different brands of whey protein on the market that I took the liberty to seek out the best brands so you don't have to! Here are my favorite whey protein powders (in order):
1) Gold Standard Whey Protein - Chocolate
2) Sun Warrior - Chocolate
3) Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein - Cookies 'N Cream
The thing I like most about these protein powder is that they're not loaded with a bunch of excess junk like sugar! If you find a protein powder that has over 5g of sugar per serving, don't buy it. These types of "filler" are just there to make you think you're getting a really great product.
If you're serious about building muscle and burning fat, these protein powders above will do an excellent job. Find out more about working out from my website:

Products from many countries include clothing and jewelry created by female artisans in Guatemala, many their families' only wage earners. Wastebaskets and several types of bags were made from non-recyclable plastics bought from trash-picking communities in Jakarta.
The store features sculptures and jewelry, made of discarded aluminum, copper, and glass, and created by street people in Nairobi's Haruma slums. There are bags sewn by Cambodian women.
Also for sale are beaded bowls formed in the Darogetti slums of Kenya and wooden bowls and salad servers made in Kenya, with profits used to buy school uniforms and haircuts for more than 200 orphans.
"When people buy our products, they'll be partnering with the poor, helping to empower them to make a difference in their needy communities," says store manager Robin Simpson.

Urgent aid needed for refugees in Mali, archbishop reports
Catholic World News - January 18, 2013
Archbishop Jean Zerbo of Bamako, Mali, has pleaded for the quick opening of routes allowing humanitarian agencies to deliver aid to refugees.
An estimated 400,000 people have fled from northern Mali to escape fighting there. Those who have taken refuge in the south of the country are in urgent need of food, clean water, shelter, and medical supplies. "We are in the cold season, and it is also damp," Archbishop Zerbo said. "This makes the humanitarian situation even more complicated."

The Disclose Act
We all hate negative ads. Regardless of party, we all want elections to be about finding the most qualified representative, not a contest where the meanest liar wins.
So before you blame Julia Brownley for the negative ads that came out against Linda Parks in the primary, please be aware that Brownley co-authored legislation before the California Legislature to force political ads to disclose who funded them - AB1648, the Disclose Act. This act:
- Requires the three largest funders of political ads to be clearly identified
- Applies to all television ads, radio ads, print ads, mass mailers and websites
- Requires ads to list a website
- Requires candidates to appear and say they "approve this message," just like federal candidates.
The federal version of this law was blocked by Senate Republicans this summer, but the fight continues. You can find out more about the California Disclose Act on http://www.CAClean.org.

Governments build roads, sewer systems and occasionally power grids. So why not a communications infrastructure in a era when the Internet is considered a must?

Lake County's County-wide FTTH network has encountered more than its fair share of troubles but residents are excited at the prospect of having broadband access to the Internet. While some of its troubles came from their own confusion and misunderstanding that led to the falling out with their consultants, National Public Broadband, they are now in the cross hairs of a powerful cable industry group - the Minnesota Cable Communications Association.
The Minnesota Cable Communications Association joined the fray at the end of February, sending a massive data request to Lake County and all the governments within the project area. County Attorney Laura Auron said she "objected to the characterization" the cable industry advocate group made about the project. The MCCA wrote that is was "deeply concerned about the shroud of secrecy" about the project, calling efforts to get the project in line with state and federal rules "opaque."
The association demanded to see the county's business plan and contracts for the project. It also asked all the cities and townships in the joint powers association, a requirement under the Rural Utilities Service rules for grants and loans, to provide all information regarding the fiber project discussed at council and board meetings.
MCCA exists to protect the interests of its members -- fair enough. Too bad for the folks in Lake County that have no access to the Internet. Because a portion of the project will give the resident of Silver Bay and Two Harbors an actual choice (disrupting the monopoly of Mediacom), MCCA is using a common tactic to delay and disrupt the project: massive public records requests. All the while, MCCA pretends its core mission is advocating on behalf of the beleaguered citizens of Lake County.
We commonly hear from publicly owned networks that they have to deal with constant data requests from competitors. This goes far beyond any reasonable amount as incumbent companies use the requests themselves as a time suck attack against publicly owned networks as well as mischaracterizing any detail they can in an attempt to smear the network.
Communities should be ready for this onslaught. From what we can tell, it never really stops. This is another reason community projects should live in public to the greatest extent possible. Secrecy is not really an option and can consume more energy than community networks can spare.
MCCA is correct that Lake County should act transparently, but its interest lies only in casting doubt and disrupting this potential network because it threatens the monopoly of an MCCA member.
This is DEEPLY troubling. As a resident of Lake County who has no REASONABLE options to internet access, and someone who works from home and requires one, this worries me. The average citizen of Lake County, I not only require the internet to continue to make my living, but know how important a fast, sustainable fiber optic system is to our economy up here. I moved here for the beauty, tranquility, and peace the North Shore offers, after struggling for quite a while to figure out how to be able to manage a business that requires high bandwidth internet access. The availability of internet options like FTTH are going to make a LOT of people move up here and help the economy because they CAN, as opposed to, well, just being unable to even make that choice.
Like the gun and tobacco lobbyists, here cometh MCCA (read the "extremely fine print" on your "Let Lake County VOTE" flyer, to find the true source behind this "non-issue") touting freedom of choice, expressing feigned outrage overlaid with half-or-no-truths.
IF the local private sector cable, satellite, phone providers were truly for democratic choice, THEY - THEMSELVES - WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO OUR DECADES-LONG CRY FOR "A-LA-CARTE" PROGRAMMING and invested in fiber infrastructure themselves, but DID they?
Instead (for example, in my personal situation) they ended negotiated package rates and - facing FTTP in Two Harbors by mid-2012 - rather than court whatever remaining customers they could retain to the bitter end, they decided to escalate my bill from $89.95 to $146.95, overnight...
The only way customer "retention" would help was to advise that if "sacrifices" were made (read that: drop HD programming, lose my HD DVR, cut back to basic cable, and reduce internet speeds) the cost would "only" rise to $126.95 per month!
Needless to say, I opted to retain only my internet service (raising THAT specific element's cost by over 50%, but reducing their monthly bill by 27% - to $65.95.
Purchasing a Roku device, adding Netflix, HuluPlus, and Amazon Prime, and receiving local HD channels over-the-air, I'm currently paying nearly as much per month as before, with substantially greater programming of MY choice - not the "fluff" I was formerly forced to acquired, in order to receive the dozen or so channels I sought!
When I add my computer to the HDMI circuit, I'll be able to receive programming from virtually all the networks - traditional and cable - as I am so moved... TRUE FREEDOM OF CHOICE ("a-la-carte")... which is what I've sought for years from cable and satellite providers.
It is my understanding that private sector providers have been offered access to use this same fiber network to deliver content to their customers at much greater speeds that their current equipment would allow... to eventually reach virtually every household and business in the county – a far greater audience that the currently serve: Despite the legal actions cited in support of their "faux" campaign, none of them comes close to providing the level or distribution that this fiber project proposes, nor would they invest in the provision of such infrastructure themselves (no "reasonable return on investment" foreseen). In fact, at least one of their supposed "support" cases - 'GoMoorhead vs. 702 Communications' - makes my very point, although in reverse: Moorhead's network is limited, whereas 702's utilizes infrastructure of a far greater reach... just as the Lake County FTTP project will far outstrip ANYTHING the private sector is willing or able to provide to us locally.
So please stop stuffing my mailbox with your self-righteous, hypocritical, "offensive" campaign of misinformation and "non-issues", and try improving the lackluster services you presently offer... for as long as you can.
As for me? I can't wait for the arrival of fiber and the improvements and opportunities it will bring, not only to my personal situation but to our extended community as a whole!

T3, or triiodothyronine, is one of the two circulating Thyroid Hormones and is the more metabolically active one (relative to T4). Used as therapy for hypothyroidics, T3 may hold some promise as being a short-term fat burner and cognitive enhancer vicariously through the effects of thyroid hormones.

This page on T3 is currently marked as in-progress. We are still compiling research.
T3 is one of the two biologically active Thyroid Hormones, the other being T4. T3 is seen as more potent although less prominent in the body, and T4 can act as a reservoir of potential T3, to be converted into the more potent form through a class of enzymes known as deiodinases.
Triiodothyronine, Liothyronine
Thyroxine (T4)
Overdosing of T3 and/or T4 can lead to symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which range far wider than just the Metabolic Rate. Caution should be taken in not overdosing T3/T4 in either acute dosage or duration.Examine.com Medical Disclaimer
Studies done in humans with T3 supplementation have been done with ranging dosages of 40mcg daily up to 150mcg daily.
Doses tend to be taken every 8 hours, which ends up being three times daily in even intervals.
The related compound T4, when taken fasted rather than during meals, may result in higher blood levels of T4 and less of a spike in TSH.[24] Additionally, taking a dose before bed seems to cause a greater increase relative to a dose before meals.[25] One study does note that despite these higher C^max values, that overall there really isn't a huge difference in treatment.[26]
T3 and T4, as mentioned in this study[1] which references the 1999 publication of the British National Formulary[2] states that 10mcg of T3 (as linthyronine) is bioequivalnet to 50mcg T4 (as levothyroxine).
The fat loss effects of T3 supplementation appear to be more effective than T4 supplementation at weight loss, although studied in hypothyroidics and dosed in accordance to TSH levels, at an average dose of 0.57mcg/kg bodyweight.[3]
The combination of T3/T4 (in which 50mcg of T4 was exchanged for 10mcg T3) in comparison to straight T4 supplementation had no significant differences in term of subjective well-being and treatment of hypothyroidism.[1] and similar lack of results seen with a higher dose substitution[4][5] and lower doses.[6][7][8] These results are in contrast to an earlier study which showed benefit substituting 50mcg T4 for 12.5mcg T3[9] which appears to stand alone.
T3 (or more specifically, thyroid hormones in general) are investigated for their interactions with fat mass since, in survey research, thyroid activity may be related to fat mass and BMI.
Some studies suggest a correlation[10] whereas other suggest it does not exist for those with normal thyroid function.[11] It is a contest field, as some studies do exist that suggest a relation even in those with normal thyroid function[12][13][14]. These discrepancies may be due to the highly variable 'normal range' of thyroid hormones.
In fasting women, T3 supplementation at 20mcg four times daily acts to preserve a drop in serum T3 levels. In a fed state, this study reported levels of 3.34+/-0.23 nmol/L, which dropped to 0.64+/-0.04nmol/L after a week of fasting but were preserved at 2.9+/-0.3nmol/L.[15] Although both groups experienced a 13% drop in Metabolic Rate after one week, the T3 group experienced a 5% increase in the second week where control continued to drop.[15] Another study done with 40mcg daily found greater losses in BMI in the groups with T3 supplementation.[16]
In a study on a drastically caloric reduced diet (200kcal) in mordibly obese persons, T3 supplementation at 150mcg was able to preserve the rate of weight loss after two weeks where control had an attenuation in the rate of weight loss.[17]
One study found that the increased rate of weight loss was equivalent to 92g bodyweight per day, although it did not say what this tissue was.[18]
A recent rat study found that the increased expression of thyroid-hormone receptor beta (T3's receptor) that is increased during caloric restriction is not abolished by T3 supplementation[19] and that T3 supplementation lead to increased Leptin gene expression; although circulating leptin levels and overall fat mass were unaffected. Higher doses of T3 (25mcg per 100g rat bodyweight) suppress expression of these genes.[20]
Overall, the data seem to suggest that T3 does not necessarily spike metabolic rate but that it minimizes a decline seen in metabolic rate due to prolonged caloric restriction. The studies available are done mostly on obese persons though, and there is a lack of data on normal weight people on hypocaloric diet regimens.
In obese subjects, a reduction in urinary nitrogen has been reported with T3 supplementation, and was additive to fasting's reduction in urinary nitrogen; suggesting a muscle preserving effect.[21] These results have been replicated a short-term metabolic ward study at 100mcg daily, in four divided dosages.[22]
However, at least one study has noted an increase in urinary nitrogen after four weeks usage, in doses ranging from 0.36-1.01mcg/kg bodyweight.[18]
Thyroid hormone status is correlated with cognition, and a lower level of thyroid hormones is related to depressive-like symptoms.[23]
As mentioned in the 'conjunction' section, 15mcg of T3 substitute for T4 does not appear to be any different from T4 in this regard.[6]

Biglaw, New York Times, Perks / Fringe Benefits
Guess what's at the top of the New York Times Most Emailed Articles list today? A piece entitled For Lawyers, Perks to Fit a Lifestyle, by Lynnley Browning.
We're pleasantly surprised that an article about law firm perks, a niche topic that we cover obsessively around here, is so popular with readers of a general-interest publication. Or is it just that lawyers are the only poor saps at work today?
Among the more notable perks mentioned in the article:
1. Milkshakes and candied apples — yum! (Perkins Coie) [FN1]
2. Mortgage guarantees for the first $100,000 of associate mortgages (Sullivan & Cromwell)
3. Reimbursements for associates who buy a hybrid car or a certain brand of car (DLA Piper; Fulbright & Jaworski)
4. On-site yoga classes (O'Melveny & Myers)
It's an interesting article; read the whole thing here. There's additional commentary on the piece over at the WSJ Law Blog, by Jamie Heller (filling in for Peter Lattman, who is on his honeymoon).
P.S. Looks like an NYT correction may be in order, due to a slip-up concerning the amount of year-end bonuses:
The perks come on top of higher salaries and larger bonuses — this year, the top-offs have been doubled at some practices. At the New York office of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, an old-line firm, associates will receive special payouts of $10,000 to $50,000, in addition to their year-end bonuses up to $35,000.
Our suggested rewording: "At the New York office of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, an old-line firm, some associates will receive special payouts of $10,000 to $50,000, in addition to year-end bonuses up to $60,000." (The word "some" is needed before the word "associates," because class of 2007 or "stub year" associates don't get special bonuses.)
[FN1] The Perkins Coie milkshakes come from Potbelly Sandwich Works. Coincidentally, we enjoyed a PSW milkshake for the first time on Wednesday. It was Oreo, and it was delicious!
Update: One of you sent us this great comment, by email:
I thought the most poignant perk was Fried Frank's: they offer psychotherapy (through what sounds suspiciously like a bulk discount deal) to help associates deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and divorce. I love it!
I can imagine the therapist's notes: "Patient distressed re: possibility of negative performance review. Says he has not seen wife or child since, "let's see … when was that holiday with the fireworks?" Is in constant pain from chronic papercuts and verbal caning associated with ongoing case. Patient noted gratefully that firm is paying for therapy. Possible diagnoses: Stockholm syndrome?"

We are Steve and Fiona. We own and operate Brisbane Bicycle Tours. We are both keen cyclists and actually met on a bike track several years ago.
We founded Brisbane Bicycle Tours after traveling and riding on bike tours in New York, Paris and London. We figured if we could ride on those busy city streets, then Brisbane would be easy.
The object of our tours is always to have fun. We also sneak in a little history lesson. We both love Brisbane and live really close to where our tours start at the Big Wheel in Southbank.
So if you want to see Brisbane from a little different viewpoint, book our bicycle tour and we promise you'll have lots of fun and learn something new.Book now!

In response to UD6's comment:
Recounted ad nauseum, but you still seem to want to get on that horse. You've got the same problem Russ has from a different angle. You won't admit that your perspective could be flawed. Maybe you should rephrase - As has been recounted to all numerous times, without Gronk, Brady struggles at times against good teams.
Brady's got many other quality receivers. Welker, Hernandez, Branch, Lloyd, etc. Brady had 5 guys with more than 40 catches this year. That's phenomenal.
More ad nauseum lies and spin from a troll with an agenda about his hero, the sex offender.
No effective running, dropped passes, receivers who couldn't get separation, lame blocking and poor defense were the order of the day. Any other presentation of the facts are lies. You're a liar so it is no surprise you dispute this.
I certainly haven't said Brady was great. But how could he possibly be that with the ineptitude displayed by everyone around him.
Troll set straight for being the lying chump that he is.

The extortionist hackers from the Rex Mundi collective are back. In the past, they attempted to blackmail Dexia Bank, AmeriCash and Webassur, but now they've turned their attention to Drake International, a Canadian job placement firm.
According to the hackers, the company's systems were hacked last week. They claim to have gained access to 300,000 "confidential job applicant records" and information on the company's clients.
"We immediately contacted Drake International to offer them not to release the data in exchange of a mere $50,000 (fifty thousand US Dollars). So far, we have unfortunately not heard back from the nice folks over at Drake," the hackers said.
"Does this mean that they do not care about their clients and job applicants' privacy? You be the judge."
They warn that if the company fails to make the payment by the end of this week, they will publish the entire database – which includes the details of candidates from Australia, UK, Canada and New Zealand – on Pastebin.
To demonstrate that they've gained access to all that data, they've published a small sample of job applicant and client details. The sample data includes names, email addresses, passwords, references, phone numbers and other information.
On the other hand, Drake International representatives have told Financial Post that they have no intention of paying the hackers, even though they admit that the hackers have managed to obtain names, email addresses, passwords and phone numbers.
They're currently working on notifying all the affected individuals, advising them to change their passwords.
The company has also notified the police and they say they're working with authorities on ensuring that their candidates and clients are protected.
Tony Scala, vice-president of marketing and client service at Drake International, has also revealed that the database breached by Rex Mundi is "very old."

sq geek-
did you encode the mp3 from iasca cd yourself? VB 192kbps is what i always encode at, and i always use lame as the encoder- through EAC (exact audio copy). this is (by far) the best sound quality i've gotten from mp3 without having enormous file sizes. using encoders like musicmatch and whatever else generally skip info they cant read leaving a blip, and don't always use the best encoding- leaving artifacts in the music. also, use a good cd/rw to rip! i would use nothing but tdk or yamaha equip. it's reasonably priced, and does a great job. it makes as almost as much difference as the encoding itself.
sq geek,
You can also try running a USB soundcard with optical out, and see how that sounds.
I use my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 NX optical out with my DSP right now and it works great.
Also look for some newer spdif drivers for the Via mini-itx? Let me know how it goes, cause I was maybe gonna get rid of my NX 2 if the digital out works fine on the M10000. (But then I lose a optical in and optical out, and I was gonna use the optical in for XM)
What's the warranty on the refurbished CY-AC300 from ebay? What happens if something goes wrong after 90 days? Who fixes it? What exactly was wrong with these units (there seems to be a lot of listings) to earn the "refurbished" label?
The voltage on the preamp outs is 2V. Was this sufficient to get good volume? If not, did you use any line driver(s) to boost the level? The audibahn ADD51T has 9V preamp voltage and has a SPDIF input in addition to TOSLINK. However, there is no direct center channel speaker connector like panasonic! What do you think about audiobahn?
I would never buy audiobahn equipment.... maybe i am just a snob
your on your with ebay those are all questions that you need to ask the seller just becasue i bought it off ebay doesn't mean it was used or refurbished. Do your research man.
the 2v although nothing to write home about was definitly suffecient for loud, really loud volume. No need for a line driver, it could only help.
I was all set to buy an ADS-4000 until I saw l4tran's comment:
I'm trying to understand why someone would want to switch to analog in to listen to mp3s. Does this mean the ADS can't play stereo through spdif in? The manual seems to say otherwise:Quote:
As I mentioned before, the decoder can also accept analog stereo input. This is nice when just listening to mp3's or playing games. In this mode, only the FR, FL, RR, RL and SW can be heard, the center speaker is disabled. Switching from digital to analog is done throught the unit's remote.
Or would it only use the front speakers. . .I also can't find how many volts this puts out, and I want at least 4.Quote:
MP3 music is transferred as PCM data, which CPU has decoded.
Therefore, you can listen to and enjoy MP3 music through ADS 4000 digital
or analog input.
I'd go for the Audiobahn unit instead, but that's a bit pricey, and I don't know if it downmixes 5.1 to 4.1, as I have no center channel. And additionally, I'm concerned it might only use the front speakers for mp3.
The ADS can upmix or it can just play stereo out the two channels. I used this unit and the speakers on my PC for about 3-4 years before the sub blew.
My digital DTS unit upmixes too. Plus it's hidden. :)
That's good to know. I absolutely want 4 channel stereo full time, since 90% of what I do is listen to mp3s and my rear speakers sound much nicer than my front.
I have a dedicated sub amp and 4 channel speaker amp, and I want full-time output to everything. I may add a powered center channel speaker eventually as well, but it's not a priority.
Right now I'm really leaning towards the ADD51T. Sounds ideal, assuming it also have 4.1 from stereo. Plus, I happen to have a half-DIN spot for it on my console. The ADS would have to be hidden under the dash.
I am looking at couple of this unit.Now the question is which one is good and not that expensive?
Which ones are you looking at? If you want a full DIN, then you have a lot of [expensive] options. And if you don't want anything in your dash, there are options as well, some of them with a remote, or remote display.
I have been searching for the best unit for weeks now. The ADD51T seems to be the best deal at $165 shipped. Retail is ridiculous, and a lot of people stated they paid $300+ in reviews. I had planned on a DAC installed under the seat with a wired remote for volume (and map the master volume to wav for Winamp control, should work), but the Audiobahn seems a better choice with more control.
My main problem with the ADS is that it's bulky, and can't be fabricated into the dash for ease of use, and the remote won't work if I install it in a hidden location. Also, I doubt the RCA outputs are more than 2 volts, and since it's not designed for automotive use, it might introduce noise.
I have to admit that I've always held an extremely poor opinion of Audiobahn, but then again I used to hold a poor opinion of Hyundai, and look what I'm driving (almost ready for boost!). The ADD51T seems like the best choice for the money.

Do Prisoners Deserve Yoga?
This is the first article in a series. The second can be viewed by clicking here. The third here.
CDCR Deuel Vocational Institution (DVI), Tracy, California
When photographer/artist Robert Sturman received an invitation to come and take photos by warden Ms. Salinas of Deuel Vocational Institution, DVI, a reception center in Tracy, California, he felt ready.
Robert Sturman became known for the vibrantly colored Polaroids that he manipulated to create impressionistic photo-paintings. The last series was on asana, like the one above of Vinnie Marino, the popular L.A. teacher who counts Robert Downey Jr., Kate Hudson and David Duchovny among his students. The dungeons sent Robert Sturman to the other side of fame, into the heart of pain. He made a drastic cut from his signature style: "I hadn't used a regular camera since high school," he says. "I was using natural light with the polaroids, but that beauty wasn't prolific enough for the prison shoot."
One photo of an inmate meditating on the bare prison floor was posted on Robert's Facebook page. It quickly accumulated 82 likes and a string of admiring comments, until someone wrote: "I think you're all in la-la-land… Get a grip. I would like to know if he killed someone… or if he raped a young girl before I got all sentimental… But… maybe it's good to live in your head and the Lotus position and not in the real world…" Robert replied: "My hope is minds will be opened to a new paradigm that is neither uneducated new age la-la, or massive generalization. … We are not trying to shorten this inmate's sentence." Three People liked this comment. The dissenter fired back: "Admirable sentiment. However, I doubt that would mollify his victims or their families."
"Are they actually getting it?" someone commented on the photo on Facebook of a convict doing Jyoti Mudra.
Prisoners have to deal with condescension and disrespect all the time, from correctional officers (the correct term for prison guards) and from each other, but they are also subjected to constant projections of darkness from the population at large. Inmates are finely attuned to all nuances of vilification. Possibly, this kind of transference is at the root of the psychological problems that landed them in jail in the first place. 'Being bad' may be a childish way to protect a parent's skewed perception of them.
Judgment at a distance translates to fear up close. Inside the cage, Robert Sturman was briefly confronted with his own fears when he had each prisoner sign a release form. "As I was squatting down and talking and giving them the pen to sign," he says, "I realized that every time I'm giving someone a pen I'm giving them a weapon that they can jab in my throat. But after that I thought: 'Okay, no more Oz! No more Dexter! Too much television!' I took a few breaths, and got over that stuff."
He continues: "I was a little startled when I came face to face with someone who had eight teardrops tattooed on his face. In the gang world each teardrop represents a murder, and that threw me, but it passed quickly. He was actually the most responsive student, and spoke eloquently about how peaceful he felt from doing yoga. It was a beautiful experience. I realized that these men went astray for whatever reason, let their anger elevate to an uncontrollable level that is punishable and not okay in our world, but it's the same kind of warrior energy and intelligence that, if directed properly, produces something entirely respectable and productive."
Swapan Munshi (whose first name means 'dream' in Hindi) works as a Therapeutic Recreation Therapist at DVI, and also teaches the yoga class there. He says: "I feel yoga can be even more powerful than any psychological approach… Prison yoga offers solutions to a broken system. It can reduce medical costs of prisoners, decrease violence, reduce recidivism, [70% in California – the highest in the nation] and transform individuals and society."

Home-school graduations more intimate, informative

The current BMW 3 Series saloon has already proved to be a class leader, but does the new Touring estate retain the same driver appeal with its increased dimensions?
It's noticeably bigger than the car it replaces, which translates to more cabin space and a 495-litre boot – that's 35 litres bigger than its predecessor's. The rear window opens separately to the electric bootlid – a useful feature if your hands are full of shopping, and standard on all Tourings.
Here, we've driven the 328i M Sport Touring, with a 242bhp 2.0-litre turbo engine – the only petrol available from launch. With a slick six-speed manual gearbox fitted, it'll do 0-62mph in only six seconds and carry on to a limited top speed of 155mph. It'll also return a respectable 43.5mpg and emits only 152g/km of CO2.
When it comes to straight-line speed, it shows the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI and Mercedes C250 CGI a clean pair of heels – and thanks to its rear-wheel-drive set-up, it handles beautifully, too. Even in Comfort mode, the 328i excels through corners, feeling tight and composed on the very roughest of backroads.
The four-cylinder petrol engine has plenty of low-down power, but it feeds in gradually and you never feel pinned to your seat like the 0-62mph time would suggest. Plus, the noise from the exhausts is pretty restrained and not nearly as characterful as the six-cylinder 335i's exciting engine note.
The M Sport additions include lowered suspension and 18-inch alloys. As with all M Sport BMWs, this 328i benefits from a unique body kit and high-gloss window trim, while inside there are all the usual M details and badges.
Equipment is generous but not lavish: you get leather, two-zone climate control and Bluetooth as standard, but have to pay extra for adaptive suspension, sat-nav and a reversing camera. And the cost of these options soon adds up – our test car featured more than £8,000 worth of extras on top of its £33,400 list price.
As a standalone product, the 328i Touring is fast and efficient family transport. The problem comes when you compare it to the highly efficient 320d or rapid 330d diesels. We've yet to drive the entry-level diesel in a Touring, but it works well in the saloon, offering a great blend of speed and efficiency for about £1,000 less than the turbocharged petrol.
320D more economical, 330D faster. Surely when the 325D comes out the 328i will make even less sense?
All well and good apart from the fantasy pricing. Expect to see a lot of cheap contract hire deals before too long.
Over priced company rep mobiles, and as the reviewer says, the diesel engines sound like rattly old tractors. The styling, particulary from the front, is now bordering on ugly, and for a family car not to be able to comfortablly seat 3 in the back is poor. Many other cars have at least the same quality feel inside, and feel just as good to drive these days. Difficult to see why anyone would have one of these over an equivalent, probably lower priced, VW.
I wonder how long that engine will last and how reliable it will be in 3-5 years time.
I have just moved from a petrol A4 Avant to the new 320D saloon. I have been a long standing Audi fan, but the new 3 series exterior looks, and larger, excellent quality interior won me over. It is great to drive and very quick, particularly in sport mode, with much better handling than the Audi. The diesel is noisy on the outside and on acceleration, but 62mpg, 0-60 in 7.5 secs and £30/year road tax is a compelling arguement. Also on a PCP is is significantly cheaper to buy. Try one!!!

Setting date for a range of days
I'm a brand new user and I've looked through all the help files and read everything. I am loving this app, so far!
I really like the plain English on setting dates but what I'm wondering is if it's possible to set a task for a range of days like "sometime in the next 7 days". I don't need it done on any particular day but just sometime between today and next Wed. Is this possible? If so, I'm having trouble wording it right.
Thank you!
All responses
Hello Vivianne,
Unfortunately, that's not possible. You could set the due date of the task to the last day on which it should be completed, though. To do it fast, you could type "+7" into the date field which would schedule it for the date 7 days from now.
Alternatively, you could add a label to it. Type @sometime into the task's name and then search for tasks with this label by clicking on it or typing @sometime to the search bar at the top.
Best regards,
Thank you, David. :)
Unfortunately I'm using the free version so labels aren't an option. I just went ahead and set it up recurring every day until it gets done and added text to the task that it should be done by the 26th. That will work for now.
I appreciate your help!
Labels are free :-) That is - adding them through a task, clicking on them and searching for them. With Premium you can additionally color-code them and see the full label list on the left + use labels on mobile.
Best regards,
Wait what? They are? :-o
Is there instruction on adding labels through tasks and such? I don't remember seeing anything. I just know when I click "Labels" after the "Projects" tab it tells me labels are a premium feature.
Ohhhh ok I see how this is done with the labeling! Wonderful! Thank you! :)

Welcome to the website of Johnnie Johnson
TOP-DRAWER VILLAIN is my most recent e-book. Click here to find out more...
A VIRGIN IN THE PHILIPPINES is still going strong and it has been very warmly praised.
My first e-book, AND SUCH GREAT NAMES AS THESE, was published in 2007 in traditional paper book form but the second, WINTER HUNT, begins life on your computer screen or your Kindle or Sony or whatever e-reading device you use.
They're both good stories! And they're cheaper than most books you will find in bookshops.
My fascination with low-life and criminality in the late-18th and early-19th centuries led me to write WINTER HUNT. Court reports of the period furnished me with several ideas for the story. It's a bit of a romp and I really enjoyed writing it. I hope you'll enjoy reading it
AND SUCH GREAT NAMES AS THESE had a different impetus. Over the years I have become increasingly interested in World War One. All those grainy pictures of crouching soldiers crossing muddy No-Man's Lands are of unnamed clerks, shop assistants, farm lads, pitmen, innocents from ordinary backgrounds. All heroes, most of them away from their homes for the first time. For too many for the first and last time.
All books are available in a variety of formats including Kindle.

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha set to launch early next week?
Is the Samsung Galaxy Alpha set to launch early next week? The Samsung Galaxy is you could not tell has slowly been taking over the world. Samsung and their persistent set of tablets, notes and galaxies have been front and center of the mobile world for some time now. The tale of the Galaxy Alpha started back in July when the Galaxy F surfaced into the headlines. Since then pictures of the device and its spec sheet have leaked into the wild. Today a new bit of news is suggesting the Galaxy Alpha's launch is a lot closer then we think.
The last we've heard from the Galaxy Alpha aka the Galaxy F was the device would be scaled down from a plus five inch screen to a smaller screen in an attempt to compete with Apple's inbound iPhone 6. The details from that same report go on to suggest the Alpha would be announced August 13th and would hit stores before Apple's next endeavor. Today however new details from SamMobile, a dedicated Samsung site state that the Galaxy Alpha will be announced by Samsung this coming Monday August 4th. Previous rumors have also suggested an early August launch; however a date this soon was not expected! It will be interesting to see how the Alpha positions itself amongst Samsung's already existing devices. The Alpha is currently expected to ship with Samsung made Exynos processor, 3 GB of RAM a 16 mega pixel camera and is said to be built from a premium metal material. So here's till Monday!
Anyone interested in what the Samsung Galaxy Alpha will offer? Sound off in the comments section below and let us know what you think and remember all the very best in Samsung accessories are here.Samsung Galaxy F, Galaxy Alpha, samsung accessories, samsung galaxy, Wirelessground.com

In what figures to be little more than a minor blip on Oregon's compliance radar, the Ducks will self-report a violation to the NCAA stemming from a conversation between Chip Kelly and Mike Bellotti prior to national signing day, the details of which Bellotti disclosed (no doubt inadvertently) on ESPNU during a national signing day telecast.
Here are the details from a news report we've just published.
Based on precedent, this figures to be the very definition of a slap-on-the-wrist level violation when it's all said and done. As noted, the bylaw in question is violated relatively frequently; this year Georgia coach Mark Richt was guilty of the same infraction, and circumstances would indicate USC's Lane Kiffin was as well, though as my story notes, the Trojans aren't confirming as much.
