30 min to tip off ad no one is talking about it?
Let's finish strong and hope MSU falters later today. Go Blue!
fair point that
Go Blue!
Can't wait to see the boys crush Penn State.
part, then onto the dirty practice of rooting for OSU later today. Hoping the outcome is a Big Ten Championship. Go Blue
I'm hoping to read some more "Those who stay will be champions" posts this time tomorrow!
Why is this thread on the sidebar but not on the board itself?
I created this thread from an iPhone. Maybe elastic glitch with the app?
You can't designate it as MGoBoard, or what sport it's for.
Guys, guys......let's not do this.
to beat out an icing call and then get a big assist for the rangers. I love that he's doing so well there. BORK!
rookie season for sure.
also looking forward to the Illinois-Wisc game. Illinois fighting for their tournament life
win the Big Ten Tournament to get in the Big Dance. They aren't fighting for anything but the NIT. And Wisconsin is out big early.
Finish strong!
Lol. Coach Alexander.
Isn't that "HALOL"?
good omen
nice to see. i think he's back to stay.
Let's go Blue! Big Ten championship is in sight. What a season, last game and we are talking championship. I love Michigan!
Bacari......you are awesome
all of the 200 penn state fans in attendance are on their feet!
Love Novak getting on the floor to make up for the missed layup there. We're really gonna miss him next year.
Who will be the top three seeds in the BTT in the case of a three-way split?
1. Michigan State
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
Does anyone have a live stream?
Much thanks!
Bacari is freaking hysterical
We're letting penn state out-hustle us right now
Did we sub Morgan already or did he not start?
I've only seen Smot since
It's going to be one of those games where we can't defend the 3 ball.
If the tournament seeding works out that way I think we have the easiest road to the final.
You'd rather play OSU than Wisconsin?
That teams are figuring out how to guard our balls screens at the top of the key? Over the past two weeks, the teams Michigan has played have defended that very w.ell, throwing a kink in our offenseive flow (it seemed to have started with Spary if I remember).
We are working on that by hitting the open man under the basket, but I don't know if that will work against longer more talented teams than Penn State.
To root for Sparty to lose.
PSU is playing way over its head, but only up 2. We'll win.
No way Penn State can keep up this shooting... I hope
too easy
The longer they hang around.....
We need to wake up!
Anyone have a video thread?
Nothing but net!!
Frasier out, our best 5 in.... nows the time to make a run
Smot is in for Novak.
THJ is on fire!!!
Looks like things are settling down a bit.

DANCE; The Serenity Of Meditation On the Move
By CAITLIN SIMS
Published: October 29, 2000
LYON, France— THE usual jangled nerves and pre-performance chaos were noticeably absent backstage at the Maison de la Danse last month when the Cloud Gate Dance Theater of Taiwan meditated and practiced tai chi while waiting for the curtain to rise. Repeated chants of ''om'' could be heard in the music playing throughout the theater as the cast and crew prepared to present ''Songs of the Wanderers'' by the company's artistic director, Lin Hwai-Min.
The same kind of calming preparation will precede ''Songs of the Wanderers'' when it opens the first of its four performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Wednesday as part of the Next Wave festival. Mr. Lin found inspiration for the piece, a 90-minute exploration of the idea of pilgrimage, during several visits to India, where he meditated at the site of Buddha's enlightenment in Bodhgaya and had a spiritual awakening of his own.
''When I was coming out of my meditation, before I opened my eyes, I sensed a stream of sunshine on my forehead,'' he said in an interview at his hotel here. ''It was such a wonderful peacefulness. And I went home and in three weeks 'Songs of the Wanderers' was created, and somehow it does retain that sense of serenity.''
Mr. Lin also drew on ''Siddhartha,'' the Hermann Hesse novel in which the protagonist explores different religions in his search for enlightenment. (''Songs of the Wanderers'' is the Chinese title for ''Siddhartha.'') In the piece, which had its premiere in Taiwan in 1994, Mr. Lin creates abstract representations of various religious rituals, including those of the sadhus, holy men of India, and the practitioners of qi gong, a Chinese system of physical and spiritual exercises.
''I discovered that in all civilizations there is a quest for peace through different forms of practice,'' Mr. Lin said. ''In all kinds of religions they have music and pageant to create a sense of peacefulness, and I think this is what this work is doing.''
In preparation for ''Songs of the Wanderers,'' the Cloud Gate dancers studied meditation for more than three years, then applied it in the creation of the hauntingly slow, controlled movements of the work. ''As they were coming out of the meditative state, I asked the dancers to keep their eyes closed and improvise,'' Mr. Lin said. ''This is very different from improvising with your eyes open, because you are led by your internal energy. Like tai chi, the movement in 'Songs of the Wanderers' is very soft and strong, focused inward and circular.''
''Songs of the Wanderers'' was conceived without music, but when Mr. Lin was given a tape of Georgian folk songs, he was struck by how naturally the two fit together. ''I like the music because it has a spiritual quality that is soulful,'' he said.
In the work's opening, a man dressed in a monk's robe stands with his hands in a position of prayer under a narrow stream of rice that rains upon him and accumulates at his feet. He remains motionless and unflinching throughout the piece as the grains ricochet off him, maintaining a monumental stillness that requires a high level of mental stamina, which he learned from meditation. Behind him, pilgrims appear and glide slowly forward, carrying large walking sticks and approaching a foot-high twisting river of rice that snakes across the stage. They cup the rice in their hands, as if making an offering, and then dive into the river, spreading the grains across the stage.
Mr. Lin's choreography combines the athleticism of modern dance and ballet with the stylized movements of Chinese opera and the focused strength of tai chi. Although he studied modern dance while attending the Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa (he was a best-selling novelist in Taiwan before he founded Cloud Gate in 1973) and at the Martha Graham School in New York, Mr. Lin's work is strongly influenced by his Taiwanese heritage.
He spent his childhood watching the harvesting and drying of rice, a central element in ''Songs of the Wanderers.''
''I think there is something psychological about it,'' he said. ''Rice is sacred in Asia. When we were children, rice was everything. Farmers would spread the rice in the courtyard or even on the road to let it dry. It held such a great fascination, but if you were caught playing with it you really got in trouble, because you were ruining the food.'' More than three tons of rice, dried and dyed gold, fall during the course of the piece (none of it edible any longer, most of it gathered up and re-used).
The rice, along with being manipulated onstage into a river, also becomes a desert, a waterfall, a mountain, rain and, as it falls on the monk, even an hourglass that marks the passage of time. The dancers push it, roll in it, play with it and throw it, extending the line of their movements in giant arcs. It also creates a continuous rustling as it pours over the monk.
''The steady rain is in the back of your mind, even if you don't look at it,'' said Mr. Lin. ''In the pauses between music, the sound of falling rice comes out to remind you about time. Just like a river, it keeps going, whatever happens, that is life.''

All I know is that if Kevin McHale had the No. 5 and the No. 6 picks in the NBA draft tonight, he would wind up making a trade with himself and, somehow, getting screwed.
But the Timberwolves have new leadership, and so there is a strong chance this draft could be a tragedy-free experience. It certainly will be interesting, and not in the usual catastrophic way.
It was a great move by David Kahn to get the No. 5 overall pick from Washington, basically for Randy Foye and Mike Miller. Foye is a decent player tainted in Minnesota by the "loser" cloud that follows him around. He's the guy McHale acquired for Brandon Roy on draft night in 2006.
That's not Foye's fault, but his presence was a constant reminder of what might have been had the Wolves kept Roy. It's failure by association. So for everyone's benefit, especially his own, Foye needed a change of scenery.
Miller didn't overwhelm anybody last season. His contract is up after a year, and there's little chance the Wolves would have offered him another. Trading him now was very opportunistic.
Plus, with that hair and headband, I always thought he looked like Joan or Betty from my second-grade reader back in the 1960s. He and Foye will have a chance to play on a winner this season. Good for them.
There's speculation that Kahn will continue to deal right up until draft time. But even if he doesn't, Wolves fans should be happy. You want change? You're getting change. In these parts, change equals hope.
The Los Angeles Clippers have said they are keeping the No. 1 so they can take Blake Griffin. Nos. 2 and 3 are Hasheem Thabeet and Ricky Rubio, not necessarily in that order. Kahn has been complimentary toward both. And both could really help Minnesota.
Thabeet is a 7-foot defensive presence. Imagine how he would look between Al Jefferson, who is not a good defensive player, and Kevin Love. Rubio is a very young guard with a very mature game. By consensus, he is the top guard available. After trading Miller and Foye, the Wolves are thin at guard.
Kahn said Wednesday he has had talks with Memphis, which holds the No. 2 pick. However, he made it sound as if they were very general discussions. Getting Thabeet or Rubio would really throw a charge into the organization as it attempts to rise from near-fatal dormancy.
Suddenly, the Timberwolves are interesting again. People are curious as to what will happen next. There is a buzz surrounding the team. I thought that was impossible. You could say the franchise already has had "liftoff." The hardest part may be over.

It's been a long running dispute at an Eastern Kentucky marina whether to allow alcohol sales. Tonight, it's settled, at least for now thanks to a Kentucky Court of Appeals ruling.
The decision involves a marina near the Burnside community in Pulaski County.
The United States Army Corp of Engineers and Lee Ford Marina were set to agree to have the marina be a part of Pulaski County commerce.
"They annexed the property and then there were some disgruntled legislatures," said Lee Ford Marina Owner J.D. Hamilton.
But two Burnside councilman opposed the pending agreement and filed suit. Friday, the Kentucky Court of Appeals reversed a 2006 ruling that temporarily voided the annex.
"Really for us, it was all about the consistent employment and being able to provide a better experience for our guests," Hamilton said.
With the decision handed down and likely to remain permanent, marina guests expect to see nothing but positive returns.
"I think it helps the area grow and its certainly nice to be able to enjoy your dinner with a glass of wine or beer," said John Augustine.
"As time goes on, I think this area is going to become a little more commercialized and I think this is going to add to the overall value of the community," said Ken Wood.
The case remains controversial simply because not since the 1930's have they been able to sell alcohol here around Lee's Marina area.
The land annexed spans around eleven miles and is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

The next time you go to throw something out in London, don't be surprised to hear Paris Hilton exclaim, "That's hot." The city is considering experimenting with trash bins featuring celebrity voices as a way to get more people to properly dispose of their garbage. Currently, Finland is utilizing the tech for their own public bins. According to one source, a detector in the bin will activate a loudspeaker every time rubbish is deposited and the celebrity voice recording will say: "It's great that you care about the city. Cool isn't it?"
Um, yea. And creepy too.
A spokeswoman for the Mayor of London said that he is very interested in innovative schemes "that will encourage Londoners to recycle their rubbish." The bins in Helsinki are just another example that they think might work really well in the capital.
Right — now the only question is: Who do you think should be featured as one of the voices of trash? Better yet, let's have a vote!

Steelers lock up 2 key veterans
Steelers/NFL Videos
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Steelers made significant progress Thursday toward their three-pronged strategy of signing nose tackle Casey Hampton, kicker Jeff Reed and free safety Ryan Clark to long-term contracts.
The Steelers locked up Hampton with a three-year deal that could be worth as much as $21.3 million. And they assured there will be no other bidders as they work toward a multi-year contract with Reed by using a franchise tag on the veteran kicker.
Clark, a starter since signing with the Steelers in 2006, has a clear path to free agency. But director of football operations Kevin Colbert said yesterday he is optimistic the Steelers can re-sign Clark even if they don't get a deal done before March 5, the start of free agency. The reason: Clark wants to stay in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers want him back.
"Usually when you have that type of mindset on both sides, it helps get deals done," Colbert said yesterday at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The deal the Steelers consummated with Hampton - it happened less than six hours before the deadline to tag players - had to be a relief for the team on several fronts.
It ensured the Steelers won't lose a five-time Pro Bowler and vital part of their defense. The contract that includes a $6.5 million signing bonus also heads off any hard feelings that could have occurred had the Steelers used a franchise tag on the 32-year-old Hampton.
Hampton, who would have been offered a one-year deal worth around $7.75 million as a franchise designee, told the Tribune-Review in late January that he did not want the Steelers to tag him and that it would "be a problem" if they did.
"We're happy that we didn't get to that point," Colbert said. "Casey has been a big part of our success, and we think he has a lot of football left. Plus, we think he's one of our leaders. We don't like to use that tag. If we have to, we will."
The Steelers tagged Reed, meaning they have to offer him a one-year, $2.814 million contract. But Colbert made it clear the Steelers employed the tag to buy more time - and bridge whatever differences remain between the organization and Donal Henderson, Reed's agent, on a multi-year contract.
The Steelers did something similar last year when they used the franchise tag on left tackle Max Starks and later signed him to a four-year deal.
As with Hampton, Colbert said the hope is that Reed retires as a Steeler.
"He's aware of the situation," Colbert said of tagging Reed. "As long as players and agents are willing to stay with the team, and the team wants you, you're going to get a deal done. Everybody's goal is to sign Jeff to a long-term deal."
The Steelers have the same goal in mind for Clark, who signed a four-year, $7 million contract with them in 2006.
The risk the Steelers take if Clark is not re-signed before next Friday: another team could set his market value.
Even if Clark is courted by other teams, Colbert said, the Steelers could still retain him if they are given the opportunity to match any offers.
"I think they feel obligated to look and see what's out there," Colbert said of Clark and his agent, Joel Turner. "That's OK. When a player comes back and we're able to sign him and they've done their homework and they feel their best opportunity is here, then everybody feels better."
Colbert reiterated that the Steelers will let their other unrestricted free agents test the open market before trying to re-sign any of them. Included in that group are running back Willie Parker and cornerback Deshea Townsend.Additional Information:
Priority players
The Steelers signed nose tackle Casey Hampton on Thursday and are working toward a long-term deal with kicker Jeff Reed. Both are among the most accomplished players at their position in team history:
Casey Hampton
• Has started 121 of 128 career games with the Steelers and amassed 314 tackles and 8 1⁄2 sacks.
• Member of the Steelers' 75th Season All-Time Team and was the Steelers' 2005 co-MVP (Hines Ward).
• Steelers have finished no worse than No. 3 in the NFL in rushing defense in eight of Hampton's nine seasons.
Jeff Reed
• Second to Gary Anderson on Steelers' all-time scoring list with 855 points.
• Most accurate kicker in team history as Reed has made 83.3 percent of his field goals.
• Missed only two field goals that were less than 50 yards in 2009.

Awful game. Was not near ready to be released.
-Interesting world.
-Good art style.
-Gameplay is a two player left 4 dead except with only one type of enemy thus VERY boring.
-Game is very easy. Can easily be beaten with only one player. Enemies are not threatening in the slightest.
-Server browser does not work at all so you pretty much have to play with only one player.
-Lags horribly in random rooms for seemingly no reason which is what caused me to stop playing.
-Alt Tab breaks the game.

Fisking McArdle
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On September 21, 2012 @ 7:37 am In Financial Press,Really, really bad calls | Comments Disabled
Earlier this week, Yves Smith of naked capitalism posted one of the most brutal takedowns I have ever seen. From Project S.H.A.M.E.: Megan McArdle, a Covert Republican Party Activist Trained by the Billionaire Koch Brothers [1].
If you have any interest in media or journalism, it is absolutely must read material.
I never cared for McArdle's work — I always found it shallow and intellectually dishonest (see below). I erroneously assumed that some of her less intelligent statements were the result of ignorance. But I never suspected her to be an utterly corrupted pseudo journalist.
Now I know better. She is simply appalling, and any publication that publishes anything in the future under her byline is off my reading list.
I'd like to hear from the Atlantic, who should be thoroughly shamed for publishing this tripe for years. Putting out the terrific work of Derek Thompson [2] barely scratches the surface of atoning for your sins.
In this modern age of blogs and digital media, it is now incumbent upon every publication that has hired non-journalists — including the Washington Post running columns by characters like me — to thoroughly vet these non-journo journalists.
Readers have a right to know if bylined authors work for the publication they are writing in, or as we learned about McArdle, somebody else entirely.

Posted on06. Dec, 2010
Running with kids is a great way to get your exercise in and expose them to the brave new world. While the trails closer to the foothills can be rocky, narrow and too bumpy for little ones, trails along the plains tend to be smoother, wider and flat with relatively little elevation gain. Here are a few trails that work well for strollers.

President Obama has reportedly obtained Russian commitment to pursue a mutual reduction of both countries' nuclear stockpiles, in a move that could have far-reaching effects for America's security.
"This is an urgent issue, and one in which the U.S. and Russia have to take leadership," Obama said during a visit to Russia.
"It is very difficult for us to exert that leadership unless we are showing ourselves willing to deal with our own nuclear stockpiles in a more rational way," he added.
The planned replacement to the START I nuclear arms reduction treaty, which expires on December 5, calls for each side to reduce strategic warheads to a range of 1,500 to 1,675, and strategic delivery vehicles to a range of 500 to 1,100. Current limits allow a maximum of 2,200 warheads and 1,600 launch vehicles.
The new treaty would run for 10 years, and each side would have seven years to reach reduction goals.
However, it remains unclear how this could be achieved given that his Russian counterpart, Dmitri Medvedev, remains opposed to the proposed American missile defense shield in Central Europe, which the U.S. claims is designed to protect the homeland from the threat of Iranian nuclear missiles.
Commentators say a resolution of this issue is crucial to any nuclear reduction deal.
On Wednesday, Obama heads to Italy, for the start of the G8 summit.

Medical Acupuncture (cont.)
The earliest known source of information on acupuncture is a text called the Huang Di Nei Jing, or Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, which is believed to have originated as early as the second century BC.
The Nei Jing regarded the human body as a miniature representation of the universe as a whole and taught that a state of health could be achieved by balancing the body's internal environment with the external environment of the entire universe.

Fast and efficient transportation systems drive our nation's economy. We must revitalize our nation's transportation infrastructure to ensure sustained economic growth in Maryland and keep America competitive in an increasingly globalized economy. Federal investment in public transportation like MARC, Metro, and Amtrak should be a national priority. Improving access to affordable public transportation improves the livability of our communities by making it easier for Marylanders to commute to and from work, access services and spend less time stuck in traffic. Our nation receives extraordinary public benefit from mass transit systems.
Public transportation systems take thousands of cars off our congested highways, reduce air pollution emissions, and help reduce the wear and tear on our region's roads and highways. I will continue to support our most important transportation priorities, including adequate funding for our existing transit systems, as well as expanding them to include the new Red Line in Baltimore, the Purple Line in Prince George's and Montgomery counties, and the Corridor Cities Transitway along the I-270 corridor.
I think it is important to maintain a state-of-good-repair on the existing transportation infrastructure that we as a nation have worked hard and invested greatly to build. This is critically important to ensuring the safety and efficiency of Maryland's highways and bridges.
Key Facts
- Greater Washington area roads and highways are the 4th most congested in the nation. (Texas Transportation Institute: 2010 Annual Urban Mobility Report)
- Baltimore area roads and highways are the 14th most congested in the nation and the most congested among "large" (populations greater than 1 million, but fewer than 3 million) urban areas. (Texas Transportation Institute: 2010 Annual Urban Mobility Report)
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the average American household spends one-fifth of its annual income on transportation expenses and that transportation costs are the second largest household expense, after housing costs.
- Households with greater access to public transportation spend considerably less on personal transportation than those who are dependent on driving themselves.
- How much of the federal Surface Transportation Program Trust Fund (i.e. "gas tax" revenues) goes towards public transit?
- Nationwide, public transit only receives a 25% share of federal Surface Transportation Program Funds, which provide flexible funding that may be used by States and localities for transportation-related projects. The majority of the funding goes to the National Highway System.
- What is the federal return on investment in public transportation?
- The American Public Transportation Association estimates that for every $1 invested in public transportation, $4 is generated in economic returns. Additionally, every $1 billion invested in public transportation supports and creates 36,000 jobs. That's nearly 30 percent more than the 28,000 jobs created by a $1 billion investment in highway construction.

Genre : Social | Romance
Starcast : Fardeen Khan,Esha Deol
Desc :
Marriage is often the culmination of a perfect romance. An arranged marriage however, is the beginning of an anticipated romance. 2 individuals: Abhay Sachdeva and Ritika Khanna. Strangers, but for a sole meeting. On the fringes of familiarity but with their destinies firmly entwined forever. Married to each other yet outsiders together on their honeymoon. Far away in Ooty, 290 kms from home in Bangalore, Abhay and Ritika begin their journey as husband and wife on their 5 day honeymoon. Along the way they chance upon several people�some couples, some individuals, some believers in the institution of marriage and the romance of togetherness, some non-believers. Abhay and Ritika have never held hands, never walked together in the rain, never romanced each other and yet, as per ritual, they have to spend 5 days together in one room, with one bed, as husband and wife, in a situation where they are expected to love each other and become lovers. Just Married is a movie that starts where most others end. It is a film set amidst middle class India where romance and love start at the ultimate commitment-marriage. Will Abhay and Ritika find friendship and become lovers? Will they survive their new found relationship as husband and wife? Will their honeymoon be the beginning of the end? Just Married. Marriage was only the beginning. And love was definitely not in the air! Never has a love story been so unlike any other!

IT at Google - It's all about "choice over control"
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Working at Google has its perks - great food, amazing people, the shuttle to and from work. But one of the best "perks" of working at Google is being in an environment that is designed to bring out the best in all of us. Every aspect of Google is tailored to the individual and the team, and making those teams more productive, fostering creativity, and designing solutions to really big problems that can have game-changing effects.
I also count myself lucky to spend some time now and then with Douglas Merrill, VP of Engineering and our CIO here at Google. I've learned a lot from him in our conversations, and now he's shared some of his thoughts on the role of IT and the future it will play in companies in the latest issue of CIO magazine. I found it an insightful read, and highly recommend it to anyone who has a technology role in business.

Somehow over the years 'advertising' has become a dirty word in the startup community. Why invest in paid advertising when your amazing product will generate network effects and go viral? After all, you are armed with Facebook, Twitter, Weibo and your awesome blog where advertising your product is free. This has become conventional thinking in many startup pitches.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk but the reality is your product is probably not as good as you believe and only three people are consistently reading your tweets (and one of them is your best friend). There is a dangerous and false notion that products sell themselves. They don't. You and I probably are not building the next Instagram or Pinterest so lets get serious. In my experience the old adage "it takes money to make money" is usually true. From day one, you should build your startup with a balance of great engineering, design, user experience and online distribution. Fall short in any one of these areas at your own peril.
There is no question that there is a place for social promotion and inbound marketing for any startup that needs to build awareness. In fact, I believe every startup should start marketing this way. Generating your own press, writing a blog, and social outreach are a must. After all, it is imperative to understand your position in the market and how you will present your brand and value proposition. There is no better way to do that than listening to early customer feedback. This only takes the investment of time and an open mind.
My position is that relying solely on inbound marketing is not enough. Barriers to launching a technology startup get lower every day and that naturally drives more competition who are fighting for your target customer's attention. Furthermore, you are going to find the coming years more challenging to raise capital from external investors. Believe me when I say that customer 'traction' is going to be a prerequisite for them. Pointing to page views or app downloads is not enough, more and more investors want to see real revenue traction and you need real paying customers to achieve that.
I strongly suggest provisioning investment for online search and display advertising to supplement your PR, social, and content marketing efforts. Online advertising is highly performance-based, it's measurable – and when done well it simply works. In Asia, your traditional competitors are likely investing in traditional media. Let them have it. You have a chance to own the online channel so take it. Learn the fundamentals of search marketing, display advertising, retargeting, and landing page optimization. Blogs such as Kiss Metrics, Hubspot and SEOmoz will teach you everything you need to know. Any startup that can master online distribution has a real advantage over a technical team that only builds product.
I believe paid advertising fell out of favor as the lean startup movement gathered momentum. The lean startup approach is smart. The idea of building a minimal viable product, getting early and frequent customer involvement, and iterating makes total sense. I was living in Silicon Valley in the year 2000 and in hindsight the startup scene was completely out of control. Technology was obscenely expensive, development teams were huge, releases were few and far between and companies were spending millions of dollars in the name of building a "brand." ROI (Return on Investment) did not seem to be in anyone's vocabulary at that time.
That said, there is a happy medium. Startups are building and deploying products smarter and faster than ever before. But never underestimate the positive impact of smart paid advertising. You are making investments in product development, in people, and in time. Don't make the mistake of believing customer traction is the natural result of building a great product. Customer traction is the result of building a great product and making customers aware of why they need it. As always, good luck and I am pulling for you. I leave you with this quote from Steuart Henderson Britt:
Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does.

How will the game play?Banshee is a game about survival and discovery, with the indirect result of territorial conflict. The two teams will try to take control of areas of the city with the use of light and darkness! When controlling an area of the city, that team has a greater chance of delving deeper into the lore of the game.
The lore of the game is discovered through a series of collectibles scattered throughout the game world. They can be anything from newspaper clippings to audio tapes. Upon collecting a piece of lore the player is presented with some media associated with that lore; an image, a piece of audio, even a video. Eventually, the player may obtain the ultimate piece of lore: the film!
The city will contain a number of safe zones that will help players to group together, take a breath and stock-up on equipment and energy to help them in their battles before heading back out into the dark night. In the process of taking the city back the players will find unique items and abilities that cannot be found in the safe zones.
The game reminds me of a mix of Amnesia (for its use of lighting) and Slenderman (hiding 'lore' throughout the game) and I'm looking forward to playing it. I don't usually bother with Facebook games, but this is one that offers a true multiplayer experience.
I've pledged and I can't wait to get stuck in. The game will complement the feature film (you can watch the trailer for the film on the Kickstarter page)
Get pledging!

If Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding has taught us anything, it's that the one his-and-hers item on your bridal registry should be neither hand towels nor coffee mugs. And gone are the days when newlyweds would flee the reception in a town car with a banner splayed across the bumper! Instead, "Just Married" leather jackets are where it's at.
Kimye's customized duds were perhaps the highlight of their weekend nuptials. Dying to own a set for yourself? You're in luck—both of their jackets are made by BLK DNM (they're the Leather Jacket 1 style, to be precise) and are available for purchase for a inexpensive $865. Well, "inexpensive" in comparison to Kim's priceless custom-made Givenchy wedding gown, that is. (Though be warned, the jacket comes sans the Aztec detailing pictured above—you don't think this couple would let you completely copy them, do you?)

Bedouin BBQ in the Egyptian Desert by 4x4

Amazing experience. Loved the jeep ride and the camel ride. The Bedouin's are amazing people!
Probably the best trip to undertake whilst in Hurghada. There are a number of villages so this was a nice surprise to me as I had been on another one in May 2014. So the slight difference was most welcome for me. Most folks will do this via the bikes but didn't fancy that as that can be a strain on your back/body driving over such terrain. The jeep was brilliant fun and totally enclosed - so completely safe. The camel ride was something else. Ask the wife! But fun for the rest of the family. If in doubt don't try it! Otherwise have a go. It's not every day you get the opportunity. Bring plenty of water with you! They give you water but believe me you will want more!! Overall one of the highlights of our holiday. Thanks to everyone who run this trip. Very enjoyable.
United Kingdom
A fantastic day out. I am so glad we did this trip. The guide was very informative. The food was very good and the Bedouin people very friendly.
Lynn H
A great cultural experience and so much fun bouncing over the desert and through the mountains. We met others from many parts of the world. Our guide was able to speak to all of us with a good knowledge of many languages. There were eight guests per jeep, plus the driver and the guide, and three jeeps in the convoy. We especially enjoyed the camel ride and the amazing sunset in the desert.
Cassandra J
The tour was interesting from start to finish. The drive out to the Bedouin camp is about an hour off-road through the desert. We stopped halfway for picture taking. Once out at the camp, we were met with coffee and dates. We saw bread being baked in the sand, took a camel ride, and toured some of the community buildings of the camp. The most memorable part came next - a walk through the desert along a dried-up river bed and down a little hill to see the place where the Bedouins get their water. The tour guide stopped to explain many things along the way - the plants, the rocks. Back at the camp, we ate dinner, which tasted very good, and the atmosphere was very nice. The Bedouins then sang a song, and we left. On the way back, we stopped in the middle of the desert to get out and see the stars. The experience was unforgettable.
Exciting trip. A real authentic experience. The dessert and its people are fascinating.
James T
Russian Federation
This was a great experience, with an involved and interesting guide. Absolutely worth the time and effort!

Absolutely a treat. No one should go to Egypt without doing this. Our driver was awesome. Only one thing, the toilet is not good. As you would expect out in the middle of the dessert. Also, the stars are something to see.
Called the South Sinai office on Friday since they are closed Saturday and Sunday and no one showed up on Sunday, the day of the scheduled BBQ. Someone from our hotel finally found they had tried to pick us up in the wrong hotel and they did rearrange it for Monday. When it happend it was a great trip. I'm still not sure how the driver found his way through the roadless Arabian Desert.
Great trip.

Interesting afternoon and evening. A long drive to the village but an interesting 4WD trip. Not so sure of the genuiness of the Bedoin village and nomad existence though when some of the village people are walking around with mobile phones! Our guides were so so professesional nd informative and placed a high emphasis on everybody enjoying the experience. Recommended!
The village looked like a bad movie set and it was clear that few, if any, people lived there. Those that do don't live the traditional lifestyle, as we saw plenty of tire tracks, gasoline powered equipment, cell phones, and a poorly disguised satellite dish. The few people we encountered all had their hands out for tips. The annoying camera man who was constantly standing in your view or with the camera in your face was not (as we assumed) filming a promotional video for the company, but instead was filming for the dvd you could purchase of the day. And to end things our "Bedouin BBQ dinner" was the food tucked under the van seats that had come with us on the trip. The only good part was stopping for 5 minutes of star viewing on our two hour trip back to the hotel. We heard the same complaints from people at our hotel who had taken the morning tour with the same company. Save your time and your money.

3 Refreshing Spring Cocktail Recipes
As Spring approaches, it's time to stretch our legs, get ready for gardening, and sit back to enjoy a few cocktails in the sun! We hope you enjoy the recipes below! Happy Spring!
#1 April Showers
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 ½ pumps Amoretti Premium Blood Orange Syrup
- ¼ fresh-squeezed lime
- 2 oz Tonic Water
- Granulated sugar
Add first four ingredients to a Collins glass rimmed in granulated sugar. Fill with ice, and enjoy!
Source: http://amorettiblog.com/drink-recipe-april-showers-vodka-blood-orange/
#2 Watermelon Mojito
- (1 1/2 c) watermelon juice from a seedless watermelon
- (1) bunch of mint
- (1) lime
- (1/2 c) simple syrup or (1 tablespoon) sugar
- 3/4 c white rum
- ice
Cut up about 1/4th of the watermelon and throw in the blender. Blend on high speed until the watermelon is pureed.
Now we only want the liquid so pour the puree over a strainer (the finest mesh you have!) and press on the puree to extract as much of that yummy watermelon juice as possible. I did this right over my glass measuring cup so I could see how much I was getting out.
Cut your lime into wedges and throw into a glass pitcher or large container.
Pull off a handful of mint leaves (about 1/3 of the bunch) and remove the tough stems before adding to the pitcher.
So now we have the mint leaves and the lime in a large pitcher or container…
Time to muddle! Muddling is the process of releasing the essential oils and fruit juice (in this case lime juice) by gently bruising the lime and mint. If you don't have a muddler (I don't!) just use a wood tool (not metal or plastic) with a flat edge to crush the mint and lime. If you are using the sugar instead of simple syrup, add it in with the mint and lime wedges and muddle away! Do not pulverize the leaves and lime – be gentle and lovingly extract all those delicious flavors.
Add in the simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar heated on low heat until dissolved), watermelon juice and rum and stir to combine.
If you are adverse to small pieces of mint in your drink you will want to strain again. I left mine dirty. Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with ice or fill up glasses with ice and pour over. Top with a sprig of mint and get ready to relax and enjoy! This recipe makes two generous servings or 3-4 regular size Mojitos. I go with the generous serving size 😉
You can make all different flavors of mojitos following this basic recipe. Just replace the watermelon juice with a different fruit juice to mix it up (pun intended)!

#3 Rosemary Peppercorn Lemonade
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2/3 cup agave nectar
- 6 cups water
- 2 large sprigs fresh rosemary
- 10 black peppercorns
Wrap rosemary and peppercorns in a clean dishtowel and hit hard with a flat, blunt object like a small pan to bruise.
Combine lemon juice, water and agave nectar in a large pitcher, then add rosemary and peppercorns.
Refrigerate until cold and serve over ice.

I have had many desk jobs where I sit at a desk most of the day without much activity. My secret was to get a more active job where so that I can get in my exercise as a work. I don't really like sitting at a desk all day anyway.
I attended great seminar where a guest speaker who has been in the get fit business for over 20 years said something almost too simple, I blew it off at the time but now I so get what she meant.Remember recess? You got to run, jump rope, flip flop, do whatever you felt was fun. I miss those days as a grown up. So when that Fitness professional shared with the group we should bring back the fun into our fitness routine I thought why not! Getting fit should be fun.
When you are on the phone/computer, watching TV, driving, or any other activity do stomach and butt kegels. I use TV commercials as a reminder to do them. Start with 20-30, then increase to whatever level you feel comfortable with. I do 50-75 every commercial in the evening.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office — Office of Emergency Services has implemented a new Emergency Notification System to alert county residents about public health and public safety emergencies such as:
• Evacuations due to wildfires
• Hazardous material spills
• Urgent law enforcement operations.
Public health and safety related messages may be sent during or after an emergency event to keep you informed. The Emergency Notification System enables officials to distribute essential information quickly when there is a threat to the health or safety of county residents.
The EDSO-OES Alert Notification System uses the 9-1-1 database to call and deliver a recorded message to all landline phone numbers in a specific geographic area within the County.
Residents may also be notified on the cellular telephone, Voice over IP (VolP) phone, or at their e-mail address. Residents wishing to receive messages on these devices must register online at: ready.edso.org.
It is important for residents not to rely on EDSO-OES Alert Notification System as their only means to receive emergency information. In any emergency situation, reacting quickly and calmly is of utmost importance. Learn more about preparedness at: ready.gov/are-you-ready-guide and redcross.org/prepare.

Nuummite, the oldest known stone on the face of the Earth: 3 billion years old. And like diamonds, it forms in volcanoes, but as sheets of compressed rock. It is named after the city of Nuuk in Greenland, where it was first discovered in 1982. A lot of incredible stones are appearing as glaciers rescind. The mountainous place in Greenland where they mine it can only be accessed by boat so there is not a lot of Nuummite out there.
feeling positive and focused, otherwise, leave it alone. It has a very powerful magnetic field. You'll feel it when you hold it. Keep it around you to protect yourself from electric-low-frequency stimulation. Nuummite is also spelled as Nuumite or Nummite.

To start a business in Maldives?
Hello, I am a photographer based in Malaysia and recently I have a thought to start a small photography business in Maldives. What are the process, documents, and things I should have take in considerations and prepare before moving over? Because of that, I am currently looking for new friends especially female expats for house sharing or so if any female friends here are looking for one too
I've read over the net that for foreigners is best to come with a job so the company will handle your working visa, so it is best to start that way? A little of my background before I became a photographer, I have experienced as system support (technical/software) for more than 4 yrs which I think I can still pretty much hands on, and also experienced in coordinating events so working with people would not be problem for me . I am not so sure the opportunity that have Maldives and also the active Maldivian and expats in this forum but I am open to listen for more ideas and feedback. Thank you in advanced.

|Anatomy of the mitral valve: understanding the mitral valve complex in mitral regurgitation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21078837 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Imaging the mitral valve requires an understanding of the normal anatomy and how this complex structure is altered by disease states. Mitral regurgitation is increasingly prevalent. Despite the fall in rheumatic disease, it is the second most common valvular lesion seen in adults in Europe. In this review, the morphology of the normal and abnormal valve is reconsidered in relation to the key structures, with a view to aiding the reader in understanding how this might relate to echocardiographic identification of abnormalities.
