text: 10. Expedition Everest –Sure, it's the newest attraction at the newest theme park at Walt Disney World (at least until the upcoming Avatar land opens). DisneyBut sometimes nostalgia just doesn't hold up to a good backwards coaster. DisneyPlus, the story starts the moment you enter the surrounding Tibetan town of Serka Zong. DisneyYeti imagery subtly introduces the ride's star before you even enter the queue. DisneyStory plus immersion plus ripped up tracks? Fastpass, please. DisneyAnd did we mention the 22-foot-tall Yeti? Disney9. Soarin' – This transplant from Disney's California Adventure park is more than just a hang-gliding simulator. DisneyIt might actually be the most peaceful ride in all four parks (assuming you don't have a problem with heights). DisneyThere's something extremely relaxing about gliding over California landmarks with the wind blowing in your hair. DisneyFrom forest and snow-covered peaks to deserts and cities, no part of California is unexplored. DisneyYou'll even come close to dipping your feet into the Pacific Ocean. Disney8. Star Tours – Sure, we all miss Captain Rex in the cockpit, but there are enough fun additions to the new Star Tours ride that the droid's absence balances out. DisneyRandom destinations mean every ride is unique, with three different locations per tour. DisneyLocations vary between both trilogies, ensuring something for every kind of Star Wars fan. Disney7. Jungle Cruise – The Jungle Cruise might not have the thrills of Star Tours or Expedition Everest, but it does have more of something than any other ride at Disney: puns. DisneyWalt Disney himself used to ride Disneyland's Jungle Cruise over and over just to hear the various captains' spiels. Doris Cain/DisneyLaughing along with the other guests just adds to the ride's enjoyment. DisneyBesides, if you're going to take a cruise through the rivers of the world, what better guide could you have than one who knows where to find the backside of water? Disney6. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – Very few attractions at any theme park in the world are hosted by Rod Serling. DisneyAnd given that the rest are all versions of the Hollywood Studios' original Tower of Terror, the elevator drop ride more than earns its place on this list. DisneyEvery ride is different, since the attraction's computers randomize the drops for guests. Gene Duncan/DisneyThat means when you'll never know when you'll be falling (faster than gravity!) or for how long. Glen Miller/DisneyThis attraction incorporates its story so seamlessly into the thrilling ride that it could easily be held up as an example of Disney's Imagineering at its very best. Disney5. Kilimanjaro Safaris – Once upon a time, Disney used to advertise Animal Kingdom as "nahtazu" (say it out loud). DisneyAnd while Animal Kingdom is much, much more than a zoo, the park still gets you close enough to its animal stars to really feel like you're in the wild. DisneyNowhere is that more evident than on Kilimanjaro Safaris, which can, depending on the time of day, be either a quick trip around the savannah ... DisneyOr an extended wait on some not-to-be-hurried giraffes or rhinos, all just begging for plenty of pictures. DisneyAnimal Kingdom's breeding programs mean new animals get added to the Safaris throughout the year. DisneyThough animals like Masai giraffe calf Mosi are allowed to grow and get used to their surroundings before the public can get a peek. Disney4. Space Mountain – Disney World took the concept of Disneyland's Matterhorn, and turned out the lights. DisneyIt's not the fastest ride at Disney World (clocking in at only 27 mph), but in space, everyone's going to hear you screaming, given Space Mountain's twists and turns that you never see coming. DisneySpace Mountain is the first coaster many young Disney guests ride, but it holds up year after year no matter how old you are. Disney/Cynthia Perez3. Pirates of the Caribbean – What else can be said about Marc Davis's classic ride? DisneyDespite the slight changes and additions over the years, the pirate invasion of a Spanish fort still retains all its original charm and atmosphere ... Scott Brinegar/DisneyJust with a little added Captain Jack Sparrow. Scott Brinegar/DisneyOr two. Scott Brinegar/DisneyThe Disneyland Pirates was the last ride Walt had a hand in the development of, and you can feel Walt's vision just as much in the Magic Kingdom version... DisneyAs your boat gently passes some of the oddest pirate skullduggery you'll ever see at a theme park. Disney2. Peter Pan's Flight – No other attraction can bring about such pure joy as a trip to Neverland. Chris Sista/DisneyFrom the moment your personal pirate ship sails out of the Darlings' bedroom and flies over London, it's hard not to feel pure childlike delight. DisneySure, you know you're just a few feet off the ground, but the intricate modeled detail in London and Neverland might actually make you a believer, if just until the ride ends. DisneyThere's no need to worry about thinking happy thoughts to keep yourself afloat: Those will come naturally. Disney1. Haunted Mansion – From the moment you walk into the Haunted Mansion, you know this isn't your average Disney ride. Kent Phillips/DisneyAfter you're encouraged by cast members to drag your wretched body to the dead center of a room ... Disney999 happy haunts welcome you to their home. DisneySince there's room for one more, who wouldn't happily join them? David Roark/DisneyThe Haunted Mansion's queue has been updated to add in some spooky interactive features. DisneyPlay your way to the front door ... if you can find the right (skeleton) key. DisneyJust beware of hitchhiking ghosts, who are no longer content to just ride home with you. Try not to lose your head. DisneyIconic Honorable Mentions: Spaceship Earth– Epcot's giant golf ball's more than just the visual symbol of the park. The classic ride on the history of communication can't be left off our list. DisneyIconic Honorable Mentions: it's a small world - Mary Blair's designs coupled with the pure adorableness of the concept make for a ride that's as iconic as it gets. DisneyIconic Honorable Mentions: Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room – Though the Magic Kingdom's version had some new management in place for awhile, it's now back to paying tribute to the original version in Disneyland.

Humberto Mauro Gutierrez vs. Vitali Tajbert
From BoxRec
2009-11-21 : Humberto Mauro Gutierrez 129 lbs lost to Vitali Tajbert 129¾ lbs by UD in round 12 of 12
- Location: Sparkassen-Arena, Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
- Referee: Michael Griffin

Germany's Vitali Tajbert, who previously lost his bid for the European super featherweight title to Sergey Gulyakevich, wins the WBC interim super featherweight title in a major upset over Mexican southpaw Humberto Mauro Gutierrez, who had beaten Gulyakevich to win this title. Tajbert, 19-1, 6 KOs, 2004 Olympic Bronze medalist, was the better boxer, using his left jab to win most rounds on points. With this win, Tajbert won the right to face champion Humberto Soto of Mexico for the full version of the WBC super featherweight title in early 2010.

Race your race.
When designing apparel for triathletes, all three disciplines must be given equal consideration. The shorts you wear need to function for each distinct leg of the event, with characteristics that allow you to smoothly transition from one sport to the next. Castelli knows how important this is, which is why it's developed the Free Tri Shorts.
The Free Tri Shorts are constructed with Castelli's hydrophobic Instadry Speed fabric. This material's tight knit composition holds your muscles comfortably in place, providing needed protection from run impact and road vibration. A notable perk to the derivative next-to-skin fit is that the shorts won't cause any excess drag, both on the land and in the water. And in terms of the latter, Instadry's hydrophobic treatment provides a smooth surface that cuts through the water. Additionally, this material prevents water absorption from weighing you down during your swim and causing discomfort after T1.
Panels have been joined with flatlock stitching throughout, preventing chafing and irritation during your run or ride. Castelli's GIRO3 leg gripper system and draw cord waist comfortably hold the Free Tri shorts perfectly in place throughout the versatile movements of your race.
The Chamois built into the shorts is Castelli's triathlon-exclusive KISS Tri. Castelli designed this insert to work most effectively while you're in the aerodynamic position on the bike, with unnecessary foam trimmed away to optimize comfort during the run and swim portions of your race. Furthering this concept, the surface of the insert is entirely free from seams. And when mated with the chamois' high engineered elasticity and low, 3mm density, Castelli guarantees that it'll follow your locomotion during the run.
The Castelli Free Tri Shorts are available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the color White/black/red.
- KISS Tri chamois
- Hydrophobic Instadry Speed fabric
- Giro3 leg gripper

Fit is small and inseam length too short
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Height: 5' 7"Weight: 155 lbsSize Purchased: Medium
I have 2 other Castelli bike shorts size medium and they fit fine and inseam is fine (9"). The fit of this bike shorts is too tight on me and the inseam length is short for my taste. Returning it.

Super Comfortable!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Height: 5' 7"Weight: 145 lbsSize Purchased: small
Just rode 86 miles in them in prep for a half IM, totally could have ridden another 26 miles to a full iron-distance with them! Highly recommend.

Shorts worth a try
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The shorts feels great. Runs a bit small. I wear M and I bought L as suggested by other reviews and it works out well for me.
Russ L.
awesome tri shorts
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Height: 5' 11"Weight: 180 lbs
this is the first pair of tri-shorts I have purchased. They were awesome, comfortable with just the right amount of padding and support. They run small as I wear a Med (5' 11' 180 lbs) and it was too small so I returned them and the Large fit fine. I have worn them for just biking and they are great. I bought several different brands and these are well worth the money, don't go cheap when you're talking about comfort.
Joshua S.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
You have to look down to ensure you still have your shorts on! More comfortable than my non-tri bike shorts, yes, I would rather ride in these. I have the top and bottom, and it's great that they are more "skin-tight" as opposed to compression, which is not what I wanted. There is a bit of compression, but not an uncomfortable amount. For sizing reference, I have consistently purchased Pearl Izumi in a size Medium. I purchased these in a Large and they are an EXACT fit if that helps. I am 5'9" 163lbs
Gary Skiba
What is the inseam on these shorts?
Joshua P.
Wish I would have found these years ago
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These shorts are fantastic! Run a little small in my opinion, but that will encourage me to cut a few pounds for that extra competitive edge. I love them...fantastic feel, amazing weave/fabric, and...I think they will last a long time. Great buy.
Jason B.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These shorts must be made from kittens and rainbows. Seriously. There is just way to much goodness and comfort in them to be made of anything else.
These are hands down the most comfortable tri shorts I have ever worn. I just completed a flat full distance triathlon and never noticed any discomfort with these shorts. Every other short I have worn has bothered me to some extent.
I would say these fit slightly smaller than usual. I typically wear a large but I am happy I ordered an XL here.

Update on Edith MagdalenaThe "Jaime Roldos" communal bank meets every 15 days in Jaramijo Canton. This place is known for its beautiful beaches. Most residents here are very hardworking and dedicated to tasks related to the sea.
Edith, 33, lives here. She's in a common law relationship and has four children who are 15, 12, 11 and 2 years of age. The three older ones attend school, two go to secondary school and the other one is in elementary school. Her husband's a carpenter.
She is a housewife who in order to earn her own resources sells Avon products (beauty products, cosmetics, perfumery and women's accessories). She sells door to door and works the three last days of the week. She sells on credit and collects payment every 8 days. She tells us that she takes advantage of special offers because they produce higher profits when she resells them at regular prices thus earning more that way. What she sells the most is perfume and cosmetics. She's been in this line of work for three years and she does very well.
She is repeating her loan in the bank and she tells us that with the one she got before she was able to buy certain things needed for her children's schooling since the school term has started and if it weren't for that they wouldn't have been able to attend school because what her husband earns doesn't stretch far enough for this. She wants this loan to buy perfume, creams, cosmetics and costume jewelry.
This is her fifth cycle in the communal bank and she likes it because the payments are easy to make. Her dream is to own a boutique.
En este lugar vive la señora Edith, tiene 33 años de edad y mantiene una relación de unión libre de la cual tiene cuatro hijos de 15, 12, 11 y 2 años de edad, los tres mayores estudian dos en colegio y el otro en escuela. El marido es carpintero.
Ella es un ama de casa que para obtener sus propios recursos se dedica a la venta de productos Avon (productos de belleza, cosméticos, perfumería y accesorios para damas). Su forma de venta es puerta a puerta y trabaja los últimos tres días de la semana, deja sus productos a crédito y cobra cada ocho días. Nos cuenta que aprovecha las ofertas que hay ya que estas le dejan mejores ganancias ya que luego las vende al precio normal y así gana más, lo que más vende son los perfumes y cosméticos. Tiene tres años que se dedica a esta actividad y le va muy bien.
Ella está repitiendo su crédito en el Banco y nos cuenta que con el que recibió logro comprar ciertas cosas necesarias para el estudio de sus hijos que ya iniciaron su periodo escolar y si no fuera por eso ellos no podrían estudiar, ya que lo que gana su marido no les alcanza para esto. Este crédito lo quiere utilizar para comprar perfumes, cremas, cosméticos y bisutería. Este es el quinto ciclo en el Banco Comunal y le gusta porque los pagos son fáciles de hacer.
Su sueño es tener una boutique.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

I live in Illini Tower which is one of the more diverse buildings for freshman. That being said, different groups clique together as a result of their experiences, meaning that you don't see as much reaching across groups. However I don't feel there is much discrimination, although many might not like the new anti-smoking rules.
There are lots of white students, but not a lot of Asians, Hispanics, and African-Americans. However, the problem mainly is with the students themselves, who tend to gravitate towards "their own kind". The opportunity for diversifying oneself is certainly present. The experience depends on the individual student being willing to venture outside of what they're used to.
Off-Campus Housing:
Tons and Tons of Apartments and Houses – Most people get apartments with their friends after their freshman or sophomore years...and there are tons of them available. Some are extremely nice and also expensive, others are crappy and cheap, but there are a decent amount that are pretty nice, and pretty clean, located on campus at reasonable prices. There's something for everyone...and of course the farther away from campus...the less expensive it will get (but you're gonna want a car if you live off campus. Some manage without it...but those are the ones that never go home during the day)
Campus Food:
Dorm Food =NO, Restaurants= YES – The dorm food gets pretty boring and pretty terrible halfway into the year. They start you off with decent food then downgrade you to just edible food. Then it slowly turns into the mush on your plate that you wish you could just IV the carbs into your vein and it over with....Sure they'll trick you into thinking that within the 10 or so dining halls available to you, you're bound to find something you like, but lets face it...cafeteria food is cafeteria food...my dog wouldn't even eat it. But don't fear, you won't starve...there are plenty of great restaurants on Green street you can go to....at a price that is. I'm sure you'll spend more money on food than on anything else during the whole school year.
Guys & Girls:
Frats and Sororities – Although the campus's social life is always very vibrant (bars are open and crowded every night, there are many frat parties every weekend) most of the social events revolve around alcohol and frat boys looking to get lucky. So if you're not into that sort of thing (guys groping you on the dance floor, and holding your friends hair while she pukes into the toilet) you may feel out of place....Sure there are other things you could do...like go bowling or attend the university organized events like ILLINITES, but that gets old...fast.
Drug Safety:
Drinking Is Popular – Drinking is what people do to at social gatherings. Not surprising based on the number of frats and bars. Drugs can be found if you look for them, but the same can be said for any school.
Not Bad – Seems diverse from what I've noticed. The majority of students are white, but there are many international students in attendance. There are many clubs and organizations based on uniting members of cultural groups.
Local Area:
Lots to Do – Good party atmosphere and nightlife. Many campus bars and frats make it a big party school. There are other low-key options like museums, theaters and plays. Lots of school spirit.
Party Scene:
AMAZING! Always a party on weekends whether it's held by fraternities, the university itself, or at a bar and club, there's always something for students to do on campus to relive the stress from school. Transportation is free and 24/7, the transit buses comes every 10 minutes, and the university offer other transportation such as saferides and safewalk.
Guys & Girls:
Social Life – Everybody is friendly! You share some of the same interest although you grew up in different areas.
Health & Safety:
Police and Safety Service – Police notify all students and staff on campus about everything that happens to ensure them of their whereabouts within that area. They also offer this service called saferides and safewalk for students on the campus during night time when students have to walk somewhere or go back to residence alone after a late exam or anythng
This area is known for exceedingly cold weather and wind chill, which can be dangerous. However, as long as you prepare accordingly and make usree of the transit system discomfort should be minimal.
Strict If Caught – There are undercover cops in the bars sometimes and frat parties do get busted every now and then. Dorms are also pretty strict on drinking as well so you have to be fairly careful about most things, especially on first-year private housing.
Greek Life:
Fairly Prominent – Greek life is spread all over the campus and is pretty huge, but not unexpected given campus size. It's easier to have fun if you're associated.
The bus system is very convenient. The CU-MTD takes the students wherever they need to go.
Campus Housing:
The campus housing at the University of Illinois is among the worst in the country. Half of the dorms don't even include air conditioning, and some don't even offer proper dining hall accessibility. Some of the typical events in a dorm include: people passing out in elevators, throwing up outside in the lobby, and pedophilic smokers EVERYWHERE. We even have the 3 worst dorms in America (Garner, Forbes, Weston). Basically, GET OUT OF DORMS AS SOON AS YOU'RE ABLE TO. Get an apartment, it's MUCH better, and you won't die of the horrible food they manage to cook up.
Campus Housing:
The dorms in my area, which is the Six Pack is decent. Location wise it is great, because it is very close to the campus, restaurants, dining hall, bank, etc. The dining hall food is a little below average. A lot of it is fried, making it very unhealthy. Sometimes, the variety isn't great. I'm more dissatisfied than satisfied. Depending on where you dorm, social atmosphere varies. Cost is a little expensive, but then again everything these days are. The process is easy
Currently I am in the Division of General studies and so I have not picked a major. At orientation they say that students have no disadvantage by doing this but I would strongly recommend you to declare a major before applying to the University of Illinois. It make Freshman year so much less stressful because you have earlier priority on choosing classes and if you wish to switch majors you can just the same as if you were in the Division of General Studies. To declare a major there are different requirements for each specific one, for example for the College of Business you must declare the May of your freshman year. It's highly competitive and so you would benefit to applying directly into it.
Party Scene:
University of Illinois is pretty notorious for our nightlife. All bars on campus you need only to be 19 to get in. Many students go to house parties at the start of the night and find their way at the bars to end the night off. Because of the lenient age entry students from colleges nearby come visit to party at my school. You will surely find someone you know out and about.
Guys & Girls:
Campus Life – Guys and Girls at the University of Illinois are on average intelligent but very interested in going out and having a good time. People care about the way they look on the weekends, but not when they go to class generally students are not too worried on impressing anyone. Weekend attire includes keeping up with the latest trends; guys like to wear polos and nice jeans while girls wear dressy tops and high heels. Relationships are common and ever changing, freshman year people are not very interested in settling down and are more interested in meeting as many people as they can however you hear of many relationships with the upperclassmen. In spare time you can find almost every activity on our campus quad ranging from selling hair extensions and brownies to frisbee tossing and tight rope walking.
Great Resources – Each program has a different set of advisers and most of these advisers are very helpful. I love being in pre-med because you get to see a lot of the best facilities on campus. The workload is very tough and demanding as well as the curriculum which moves very quickly at times. The facilities are older but nice, and a lot are being renovated to become state-of-the-art labs and lecture halls. There are multiple outlets to find jobs and internships for breaks and for after graduation. The career center is a great resource for that.
Campus Housing:
A Very Fun Place – The dorms are very small but also very nice and a good way to meet people. The social atmosphere is great with all of the fraternities and sororities on campus. The cost of living is going up and to find a nice apartment it averages at about $500 a month per person. The apartments range from anywhere to right next to class to a couple miles away. The realtors are mostly very nice and the Tenant Union is a great way to help and get resources if you are a prospective apartment looker.
Health & Safety:
Overall a Safe Place – The campus crime is just as much as any other campus. Of course there are dangerous areas off campus that escalate in danger as the hour gets later but overall the communication between the University and the students is good when it comes to crime alerts as well as the positive safety alert measures that the University has made. Overall the police and safety services do a good job.
Where Is It? It can be a little difficult to find information about scholarships if you're not sure where to look. I'd recommend making an appointment with an adviser to learn more.
Laid Back – I haven't had much experience with it but the school seems to have some fairly laid back policies. I believe a letter is sent home after the 3rd drinking ticket. Still, be smart about ;drinking and anything else you may do.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
One might expect some tentative and even negative opinions about any school, but this is truly not the case here at U of I. Students are proud of U of I's history, proud of is academic accomplishments, proud of the social opportunities it offers, and, most of all, they are proud to be alumni. For so many students to view their choice to come here as an unequivocally good one is a fantastic testament to the University's strength.
Of course students here have plenty to complain about—the weather, the parking, the Greek social scene, the rural location. But all things considered, the positive points of the U of I experience tipped the scale—the University's academic excellency, the safety, the social atmosphere, the athletic tradition, the city's excellent transportation system. Some students admitted that they had a hard time adjusting, that they occasionally wished they had made another decision—but in the end, they were all happy to be here. The most encouraging fact was that so many people mentioned that they were leaving as better people, more knowledgeable, eclectic, and better equipped to navigate through life. University of Illinois students do not just leave with a piece of paper in their hands, they leave with a wealth of experience that is not easily rivaled—and, for in-staters, without enormous debt burdens to face when they graduate.

World Famous Champion Eater Chugs Manischewitz
Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti drank two bottles of Manischewitz in less than a minute.
By: Ashley Baylen
Have you ever witnessed the hot dog eating challenges where participants are expected to down the bun as well? They sit at their station with a large glass of water, drenching the dense white bun in the liquid until it's a soggy mess so it goes down faster? Disgusting.
So you may ask why I've chosen to promote Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti and his most recent accomplishments. This man currently holds the world record for eating 17 corned beef sandwiches in 10 minutes. Perhaps I'm a hypocrite, or perhaps I commend the guy for ditching red meat, bread, and cheese and focusing his attention on everyone's favorite overly saccharine holiday beverage- Manischewitz.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with Manischewitz (although I'm sure there aren't many), it is labeled as wine, but in fact tastes like the sweetest grape juice you've ever had. Every time I give it to a non-Jewish friend for the first time, the response is always "This doesn't have alcohol in it. I could drink this with my eggs for breakfast"…. And it's true.
Ok, I'm stop blabbing about one of my favorite holiday indulgences. Enjoy the video below (courtesy of TMZ) featuring "Deep Dish" downing two full bottles of Manischewitz in less than one minute.
Happy Chanukah/Hanukkah to all!

That's why playing in a party is a better experience than playing solo.
We were all noobs once when we started COD so give these players a break. If you don't like playing with them, party up more.

I agree, we were all beginners at one time or another...0-20, might of been boosting or playing against wiseguy
Re: NoobsRestore_Hardcore Apr 28, 2013 8:41 AM (in response to zingaa)
If someone is a noob on my team I would rather they just camp (in tdm). It's the players who rack up more than 10 deaths per game of tdm that cause losses.
Re: Noobsnflfenatic Apr 28, 2013 9:33 AM (in response to Restore_Hardcore)
number of deaths doesn't matter if you have more kills than deaths then you helped your team in tdm. 25 and 10 is a good score and will help your team as the other players only need to get 50 more kills or 10 kills each but each of them can have up to 11 deaths.
Re: NoobsCurliestRogue0 Apr 28, 2013 9:50 AM (in response to Mankisman)
I know you caveated it out in your OP, but still that's one reason I play almost exclusively FFA. In FFA, there's a much better chance that, if I play well, it translates into a mark in the W column. I switched to TDM for a few rounds last night just to see if I could still compete there. Did pretty well, kdrs well above 2 for the couple of rounds I played...but they were all losses. Teammates were terrible (and I certainly don't claim to be very good, just average). Frustrating to play well and not get the W.
"Play with a party" just isn't realistic for a lot of people. I had 4 friends that used to play, but they all quit a couple months ago. I've started building out my XBL friends list w/ randoms that seemed to be less annoying than other randoms I've played with, but...meh. Just can't get excited about partying up with randoms.
Re: Noobsamathyx Apr 28, 2013 10:45 AM (in response to Mankisman)
honestly i play solo just for this reason
the worse my team is + the better the other team is = more fun for me
i can pick up 5 people randomly whenever i want but i just don't find it challenging
i don't really care about losing because of teammates as long as i feel like the game was a challenge
Re: NoobsCurliestRogue0 Apr 28, 2013 11:27 AM (in response to amathyx)
I understand this POV and certainly wouldn't fault you for it. When my team is on the losing side of a 75-45 game and I still do well, it's much more meaningful than doing well while on the team that did the stomping. Still, I desire that W. Perfect scenario ofc is:
- a close game, and
- your team gets the win, and
- you also do well personally (kdr for tdm)
ah, dare to dream...
Re: NoobsRednecksniper39 Apr 28, 2013 11:45 AM (in response to Mankisman)
Well this game does use skill based matchmaking if that tells you anything.
Re: NoobsNoob_Lyncher Apr 28, 2013 12:01 PM (in response to Mankisman)
I remember my first ever match of CoD. I went like 4-10 or something like that in TDM, and I had never played any of the maps before. I play with randoms now who have already prestiged, which means that they should know how to aim and shoot by now, who go like 8-30. It's ridiculous. Maybe they put a good player on a team full of retards to help balance them out.
Re: Noobs-GameOfThrones- Apr 28, 2013 12:41 PM (in response to Mankisman)

I love those! Oh... wait... read the title wrong... my bad.
You can't control what others do. Even playing with one other person can really change the experience. Network a bit, branch out, join a gaming community, and play in a party... makes a huge difference.
When you can't, which will happen of course.. do the best to be the kind of teammate you want the others on your team to be. Call out positions, call out deaths, call out your spawn. Communicate clearly to the others. I have had the good fortune of typically being the guy who carries my squad at times in this game, but in past games I was the guy who was the burden on the team, and it still happens in this game from time to time.
Control what is in your power. You have the ability to get like-minded players to party up with if you use your resources. You can play the way you would want your teammates to play.
And if a lobby is just downright hopeless... you can finish the game and then leave that lobby for a new one.

1995 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6 4dr Sedan
The 1995 Honda Accord EX Sedan is the best car to have if you are a first time car owner. I actually own this and I am in love with this car mainly because it is excellent I gas, especially if you are a city driver with a billion things to do. My Honda Accord has great mileage. It has 190, 000 miles on it, and it is a great amount of miles for an almost 20 year car. It is an automatic vehicle with an engine of 4 cylinder, VTEC, 2.2 Liters . It holds about 11 gallons of unleaded gas so you don�t have to pay more for the other types of gas, because its engine is perfectly fine with the unleaded. Also, my car came in a red color. It has 4 doors with automatic windows. It comes in handy while dr
1995 Honda Accord Sedan LX V6 4dr Sedan
I just got this car yesterday and I love it. It has 189,xxx miles on it and runs amazing still. Only one weird thing is that it only has two cup holders and only in the front seat. But it's an excellent car! It's also my first car and only paid 1800 for it.
Everything and especially think its cool that to honk the horn you just press a button on the steering wheel.
A couple more cup holders.
1995 Honda Accord Sedan EX 4dr Sedan
This 95' Accord EX automatic is simply amazing. With only 130k, the engine (f22b1 VTEC) pushes like itz at 40k. Transmission be slipping, but futher review of the fluid whoever owned it previously did not follow the manual and keep Honda's ATF z1 fluid (which is the only fluid you can put in a honda transmisson for it to act properly) (not any at yor local auto store). After fixing that problem, and dropping about $1200 into some much need tuning (rotors, calipers, drive axles, water pump, starter, alternator, sensors, radiator and battery), it was totally a brand new car running smooth like it was built today.
Greatest Features of this vechile are handling(turning is really smooth), acceleration(for a SOHC[single head cam] it gets up quick), and of course comfort(inside these cars is very nice)
Simple and easily maintance to keep these cars lasting forever.
*Transmission Fluild=Honda ATF z1 (which means go to your local honda dealership and
pick it up there)
*If your changing your timing belt, change your water pump
*If you having shift problems while engaging in gears and your thinking transmission problems ... check your mounts first
*Stop putting water in your radiator, coolant keeps your engine cool and protects the metal, water just boils when hot and causes to rust inside your engine killing its life.
*if your changing spark plugs, change your air filter, inspect brakes, and if its time change the oil(fuel efficient) $$$$$
1995 Honda Accord Sedan LX 4dr Sedan
My family has owned several Honda's and I've had a couple also.
I picked this Accord LX 2.2 automatic up as an inbetween car.
Sort of a beater, but it's proved to be much more than that.
I got it with 170k miles on the clock and it's really solid and tight.
This car has no wind noise or squeeks nor rattles.
It's quite amazing really. The gas mileage is also superb at well over 30mpg.
While it's not going to win any drag races, It's an excellent commuter and highway vehicle.
Evertthing works on it and it's very comfortable.
Mileage, reliability, solid tight ride.
timing chain verus belt but they've done this on newer models.
I got this car about three months ago and all i can say is WOW! I cant believe how well it runs for 221,000 miles. It has leather interior, sunroof, and all the things you would need in a car. The only thing that bothered me was that the transmission shifted rough from the time we bought it, and that concerned me because i need this car for 4 years of college. I took it to two shops and one shop said it was dying and there was nothing i could do. The other shop said it was fine, well i wasnt convinced on either diagnosis, but i drove it anyway. Today i took it to the Honda dealer and had them do 1 tranny fluid drain and refill...well, IT RUNS LIKE A NEW CAR NOW! use Honda fluid ONLY!
everything!! This car is almost as reliable as the sunrise. I am hoping to get 350,000+ miles out of it. Im at 221,000 now.
Gas mileage, i only get about 17 city, but the inexpensive price we got it for makes up for that. and insurance is inexpensive on it too =)

Leighton Meester goes edgy in patterned hosiery
We're used to seeing her uber-styled into her Gossip Girl alter ego Blair Waldorf, so we were surprised to see Leighton Meester looking very edgy at a recent fashion launch in New York.
The actress-turned-singer, who previously told Glamour magazine that she'd like Blair to be more relaxed when it comes to fashion, sported an early '90s-inspired bra top and waistcoat combo, which she paired with printed, rainbow-bright leggings and shoe boots.
She was cheered on by her Gossip Girl co-stars as she performed her new single, but we think she should have opted for a longer length top to go with the leggings to get a more modern take on the '90s revival. Check her out here and let us know what you think.
To get Leighton's look without the too-much-bottom faux pas, why not try pairing a long baggy printed t-shirt with some of Celeste Stein's new glittery hosiery?
We recently took delivery of her new range at MyTights.com, which features bright patterns and a gorgeous lurex sparkle. We love the Multi Power Glittery Tights, which have a bold print similar to the Gossip Girl's and which would be great for parties.

Best Mashup Bands
Mashup artists list, with photos, ranked best to worst by votes. List of good mashup bands includes a filter so you can sort by the groups's label and what albums they've put out. This list of the top mashup bands in the world includes all musicians who have released recordings that have gotten distribution, and is an up-to-date list. Mashup groups and artists are shown below along with any additional genres in which their music belongs. If available, you can also see information about where all mashup bands on this list got started. These are truly the greatest mashup bands of all time, since the most famous mashup artists ever are listed, and the order is decided by actual fans of the best mashup music.
You can click on the mashup band names to see more information about that particular notable mashup group. If they're near the top of the best mashup artist list, though, then they should have at least some information available. All the top mashup bands named on the list also have discographies on their pages if you click on the mashup band names themselves.
The list you're viewing is made up of many different artists, including Girl Talk and Danger Mouse. Upvote your favorites to see them rise to the top. Which is better for this list, The Hood Internet or Trever Keith?
All important, significant and iconic names in mashup music history deserve your votes, so make sure to choose wisely. You can only vote once on this list.
The list includes all new mashup bands, and if there are any missing on the list, you can always add them yourself.

Especially since the bands at the top of the list will at the very least be the best choices if you're looking for a list of good mashup bands with which to start out. No point in listening to them if they aren't actually good or even half-way decent mashup bands.
This list answers the questions "who are the best mashup bands of all time?" and "who is the greatest mashup musician ever?"
If you know enough about the genre, please vote based on the quality of the band's music instead of just voting for the most popular mashup bands that you might've heard of, but not really listened to closely enough to cast an informed vote.

It sounds like a good investment but I'd be concerned that it would annoy my readers. Usually when I see annoying pop-ups like that, especially when I'm not a frequent visitor of a particular site, I just click off the site and never look back. Though having said that, Popup Domination does seem like a cheap, ingenious way to gain E-Mail subscribers.
You can change the settings so the popup will only appear one time per visitor, then they won't see it on their future visits. Or you can change this so it is seen every "X" amount of days. From my testings, it's a lot more beneficial for adding new subscribers that keep coming back, and I haven't had any complaints.
I looks awesome. I wonder whether it is a plugin with theme or just theme and I have to register aweber after that.
Another concern come to my mind that popup seems not very welcoming by most of readers and i am afraid of loosing my loyal readers then. What is your advice?
PopUp Domination is a plugin for wordpress. It will automatically work with any current wordpress blog.
Sounds great! I would like to know more!
QIDA CPA LIMITED provide Hong Kong company formation, Offshore company formation, Macao Company Formation Service and virtual office to business in Hong Kong and China.
If you are interesting, please clik here contact us or here Hong Kong Company Formation for more information or call us by telephone +86755-25532847 +86755-82311616.
That was an awesome numbers. Adding 17 subscribers a day would definitely be fine with me, but by increasing that to 100+ subscribers on a daily basis, I guess I will go crazy about it.
I don't know. One the one hand it obviously brings in good results,but on the other hand I absolutely hate it when I'm eading a blog post and that sign up box pops up out of nowhere.
I recently purchased it. It wouldn't work with the theme I was using, and I am not a designer, nor can I afford one, so I was bummed about that. Its a great looking popup though, still waiting to see how well it works. To answer Tinh above, you do have to pay for your own email list builder software. I already have Aweber, which I highly recommend.
Pop Domination is kinda promising.I think $37 won't hurt if the results are rest assured positive and successful. Got to try this real soon so I could have the best results early. Perfect timing I have a wordpress blog on the making.
I see this plugin being used everywhere and it seems impressive..but Im worried if everyone will use the same thing..people will develop blindness for this.. What do you think?
Will give this a try on my WordPress blog hope it will work perfectly. 😀
I read a lot of positive reviews about PopUp Domination. I finally decide to get this software for my websites. A great tool for business. : )

Photos: Are Cowboys postseason bound? A look at who's trending up, down in the NFC playoff race
Photo: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Trending down: Chicago Bears / Record: 8-6 / Streak: L3 / Remaining schedule: @Arizona, @Detroit / At one point, the Bears looked like they might run away with the NFC North after jumping out to a 7-1 start. Now, Chicago needs help just to snag a wildcard spot. The Bears hit a brutal stretch of schedule that has seen them lose five of six, including Ls to Houston, San Francisco, Seattle, plus division rivals Minnesota and Green Bay. Their final two games offer good news – they face a pair of slumping teams in Arizona and Detroit – and bad news – both games are on the road.

Article: A GCC-box motif in the promoter of nudix hydrolase 7 (AtNUDT7) gene plays a role in ozone response of Arabidopsis ecotypes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis nudix hydrolase 7 (AtNudt7) plays an important role in regulating redox homeostasis during stress/defense signaling and seed germination. The early responsiveness of AtNudt7 provides a useful marker especially during oxidative cell death in plants. Nuclear run-on assays demonstrate that AtNudt7 is transcriptionally regulated. AtNUDT7 promoter–GUS transgenic plants show rapid inducibility in response to ozone and pathogens. A 16-bp insertion containing a GCC-box motif was identified in the promoter of a Ws-2 ecotype and was absent in Col-0. The 16-bp sequence was identified in 5% of the Arabidopsis ecotypes used in the 1001 genome sequencing project. The kinetics of expression of Ethylene Response Factor 1 (ERF1), a GCC-box binding factor is in synchrony with expression of AtNudt7 in response to ozone stress. ERF1 protein binds to the GCC-box motif in the AtNUDT7 promoter. In silico analysis of erf1 mutant and overexpressor lines supports a role for this protein in regulating AtNUDT7 expression.Genomics 11/2014; 105(1).

Article: Physiological, biochemical and molecular responses to a combination of drought and ozone in Medicago truncatula[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Drought and tropospheric ozone are escalating climate change problems that can co-occur. In this study, we observed Medicago truncatula cultivar Jemalong that is sensitive to ozone and drought stress when applied singly, showed tolerance when subjected to a combined application of these stresses. Lowered stomatal conductance may be a vital tolerance mechanism to overcome combined ozone and drought. Sustained increases in both reduced ascorbate and glutathione in response to combined stress may play a role in lowering reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide toxicity. Transcriptome analysis indicated that genes associated with glucan metabolism, responses to temperature and light signalling may play a role in dampening ozone responses due to drought-induced stomatal closure during combined occurrence of these two stresses. Gene ontologies for jasmonic acid signalling and innate immunity were enriched among the 300 differentially expressed genes unique to combined stress. Differential expression of transcription factors associated with redox, defence signalling, jasmonate responses and chromatin modifications may be important for evoking novel gene networks during combined occurrence of drought and ozone. The alterations in redox milieu and distinct transcriptome changes in response to combined stress could aid in tweaking the metabolome and proteome to annul the detrimental effects of ozone and drought in Jemalong.Plant Cell and Environment 09/2012; 36(3).

ABSTRACT: Ozone is a model abiotic elicitor of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are important oxidative signaling molecules coordinating plant development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Recently, microRNAs have been described as important players in regulating stress responses in plants. In this research we examined the miRNAs that are differentially expressed early in response to ozone in the Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 that is tolerant to this oxidant. We used a plant miRNA array to identify 22 miRNA families that are differentially expressed within one hour of ozone fumigation. Majority of these miRNAs were also reported in response to UV-B stress. Analysis of the miRNA target genes showed a strong negative correlation to the miRNA expression. In silico promoter analysis of miRNA genes identified several stress responsive cis-elements that were enriched in the promoters of ozone responsive genes. Majority of the target genes of ozone responsive miRNAs were associated with developmental processes. Based on these results we suggest that post-transcriptional gene regulation via miRNAs may aid in resource allocation by downregulating developmental processes to cater to the oxidative stress demands on plants.Plant signaling & behavior 04/2012; 7(4):484-91.

ABSTRACT: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a C4 perennial grass and widely popular as an important bioenergy crop. To accelerate the pace of developing high yielding switchgrass cultivars adapted to diverse environmental niches, the generation of genomic resources for this plant is necessary. The large genome size and polyploid nature of switchgrass makes whole genome sequencing a daunting task even with current technologies. Exploring the transcriptional landscape using next generation sequencing technologies provides a viable alternative to whole genome sequencing in switchgrass. Switchgrass cDNA libraries from germinating seedlings, emerging tillers, flowers, and dormant seeds were sequenced using Roche 454 GS-FLX Titanium technology, generating 980,000 reads with an average read length of 367 bp. De novo assembly generated 243,600 contigs with an average length of 535 bp. Using the foxtail millet genome as a reference greatly improved the assembly and annotation of switchgrass ESTs. Comparative analysis of the 454-derived switchgrass EST reads with other sequenced monocots including Brachypodium, sorghum, rice and maize indicated a 70-80% overlap. RPKM analysis demonstrated unique transcriptional signatures of the four tissues analyzed in this study. More than 24,000 ESTs were identified in the dormant seed library. In silico analysis indicated that there are more than 2000 EST-SSRs in this collection. Expression of several orphan ESTs was confirmed by RT-PCR. We estimate that about 90% of the switchgrass gene space has been covered in this analysis. This study nearly doubles the amount of EST information for switchgrass currently in the public domain. The celerity and economical nature of second-generation sequencing technologies provide an in-depth view of the gene space of complex genomes like switchgrass. Sequence analysis of closely related members of the NAD(+)-malic enzyme type C4 grasses such as the model system Setaria viridis can serve as a viable proxy for the switchgrass genome.PLoS ONE 03/2012; 7(3):e34225.

Article: Differential mRNA Translation in Medicago truncatula Accessions with Contrasting Responses to Ozone-Induced Oxidative Stress[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute ozone is a model abiotic elicitor of oxidative stress and a useful tool for understanding biochemical and molecular events during oxidative signaling. Two Medicago truncatula accessions with contrasting responses to ozone were used to examine translational regulation during ozone stress. In ozone-resistant JE154, significant reduction in ribosome loading was observed within one hour of ozone treatment, suggesting energy homeostasis as a vital factor for oxidative stress management. Polysomal RNA-based expression profiling with Affymetrix arrays revealed extensive changes in the translatomes of both accessions. Messenger RNAs with low GC content in their 5' and 3'-UTRs were preferentially associated with polysomes during oxidative stress. Genebins analysis revealed extensive changes in various gene ontologies in both accessions. Extensive changes in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism genes were corroborated with increased levels of NAD(+) and NADH in JE154. The significantly lower NAD(+):NADH redox status in JE154, in conjunction with higher ATP amounts, provided a cellular milieu conducive for overcoming oxidative stress. Low levels of ATP, NADH, and suppression of antioxidant defense responses, abet build-up of ozone-derived ROS and ultimately lead to oxidative cell death in Jemalong.Molecular Plant 08/2011; 5(1):187-204.

Melissa Burgin liked the idea of rescuing a shelter animal, but she wasn't ready to commit. So she opted for the next best thing: fostering a kitty in need of a temporary home. "I figured I could satisfy my desire for a cat—and free her from the pound until she could be adopted," Burgin says. Her experiment became a passion—to the tune of four foster cats, plus Pippa, the kitten she later adopted.
Waffling over pet ownership? Fostering may be the answer. Some foster animals don't need a permanent home. Their owners may be temporarily unable to care for them due to illness, disaster, or military deployment. Other animals who haven't been around humans or other pets might just need to be socialized before they're ready for a permanent home.

Iranian-born academic scoops Fields MedalComment on this story
Seoul - Iranian-born mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani on Wednesday became the first woman to be awarded the Fields Medal, mathematics' equivalent to the Nobel Prize.
The professor at Stanford University in California was among four Fields Medal recipients at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Seoul, and the first female among the 56 winners since the prize was established in 1936.
"This is a great honour. I will be happy if it encourages young female scientists and mathematicians," Mirzakhani was quoted as saying on Stanford's website.
"I am sure there will be many more women winning this kind of award in coming years," she said.
Mirzakhani, 37, was born in Tehran and lived there until she began her doctorate work at Harvard University. She said she had dreamed of becoming a writer when she was young, but she pursued her enthusiasm for solving mathematical problems.
"It is fun - it's like solving a puzzle or connecting the dots in a detective case. I felt that this was something I could do, and I wanted to pursue this path," she said.
Mirzakhani was recognised for her work in understanding the symmetry of curved surfaces, according to the Stanford site.
The prizes are awarded every four years. Wednesday's prizes were presented by South Korean President Park Geun-hye, the first woman to hold that post. - Reuters

My March Juniper Box arrived!
I got my March Juniper box yesterday, about a week ahead of schedule. As much as I loved the February Juniper box, I think I love this one even more! Who knew I would be a period box fan?! But I am a super-fan of Juniper!
Juniper is a tampon and treats box that comes with all your monthly supplies, pain relief, and stuff to make your period a little less annoying. It is a premium box with a first-I've-seen value add of tracking your period for you. Be sure to check out all the time of the month boxes in the directory! Juniper is $28/month plus free shipping. You can also read all my Juniper subscription box reviews!
[box] Currently: get a free Juniper box by telling them MommySplurge sent you! On the last sign up page just enter MommySplurge to let Juniper know how you heard about them! You'll get a free box and so will I.
Hey, this promo has been so popular, they ran out of boxes… For now! Check the Juniper post listing for the latest offer[/box]
As always, Juniper comes in a plain white box. Even better it is highly reusable!
What's in my Juniper Box?
My Juniper BFF (and founder!) Lynn sent a note describing the theme for this month – and it is woman-centric. Everything in the box is crafted by a woman-founded company. How appropriate and wonderful.
J&M Cheddar Twists. For the salt/savory lovers!
I was impressed by the nutritionals on this item in particular. I was surprised to see the protein count so high, and that's a direct result of cheese being the first ingredient. They are deeply cheddary!
Anna's Honeys. In Clover, Peach, and Apple (all in some way a slight nod to this month's holidays). Perfect to go with the tea!
Teatulia Teas. Peppermint, Ginger, and Lemongrass. Fair Trade & Organic.
BT McElrath Salty Dog (in home compostable packaging! seriously it says so on the wrapper). These are dark. And salty. And good. Diet police stay away.
Sante Sweet & Spicy Pecans (it's pi-CAANs and nobody can tell me different).
Sea + Cane Cabernet Caramels. These are the first things I saw when opening the box. OMG OMG OMG WHAT EVIL GENIUS CAME UP WITH THESE?
If you haven't gotten your March period yet you would be somewhat insane to skip this box.
Should you splurge?
Yes! I think this is a real luxury box with super-unique items and I am thrilled with it again. I really liked the salty and sweet theme and thought this box in particular catered to a variety of tastes without being schizophrenic. I think there is going to be something new to appreciate and admire each month about this box. And if I can think more about the box and less about my period, fantastic
I think Juniper's aesthetic is extremely high-end and very adult – which is something an old lady like me needs! This is not a throw-a-piece of Ghirardelli in with the tampons box (and yes the Salty Dogs are a million times superior to the similar Ghirardelli salt ones). In the end subscription boxes are about execution and Juniper executes perfectly. To top it off Juniper tracks your period for you and has the best subscription box customer service I've experienced.
I really loved having my supplies ready to rumble all in one spot last month. And my little gold bag to stick everything into. The kids have since made off with the gold bag but I have a new one! After my period was over my Juniper BFF checked in with me to confirm on the supplies I wanted for this month. Juniper basically totally customizes your period supplies for your personal needs and my box reflected some changes I had made. There were more than enough, which is good, because there are always other women who might need extra supplies when visiting my place!

Cazenovia CCP thanks Brownback for land donation
To the editor:
It is with sincere gratitude that Cazenovia Community Preschool, Inc. wishes to acknowledge Russ Brownback for his recent charitable donation.
Russ Brownback has generously donated a plot of land to CCP, 4.2 acres on the east side of Sims Lane in the village of Cazenovia.
The children of the Cazenovia community have benefitted from the vision and commitment of Cazenovia Community Preschool for more than 40 years.
It was founded on the premise that all children should have access to excellent preschool programming that will prepare them to flourish as students and as citizens. CCP is an important part of the foundation that our community can build for its children and its future.
Now more than 40 years later, Mr. Brownback's donation is helping CCP to build a new kind of foundation. We are developing plans to build a school, as a permanent location for CCP is long overdue.
This land is a new opportunity for CCP and for our community. Our vision for the school is to build a simple structure that is constructed like a house and that fits in well with other houses in the neighborhood.
Mr. Brownback's desire was to donate this land to a local not-for-profit organization with a vision that will enhance the Cazenovia community.
The vision of CCP is to continue to provide excellence in preschool programming while also expanding opportunities to enrich the wellness of Cazenovia area families.
Through community collaboration, we will seek to develop inclusive preschool education for children with special needs, as well as K-4 after-school enrichment programming focused on exposing children to music, art, drama and an appreciation of the environment.
In order to be successful in undertaking the building of a school, we need broad community support, collaboration with other not-for-profits and local businesses, grants, volunteers, monetary donations, and in-kind donations of materials and services.
The property donation has inspired CCP's "Pay it Forward" campaign.
The barn in Caz, located at 2009 Ballina Road, has joined the campaign and is holding a benefit for CCP during their last sale of the season on Nov. 18 and 19 (see page 2 for more information).
If you would like to find out more about how to support CCP's "Pay it Forward" campaign, please contact CCP Director Torrey Lansing at email@example.com, or call 655-7234.
Thanks again to Russ Brownback and family for supporting our community, our children and our school.

5 Questions Ohio State Must Answer Heading Into 2014 Season
5 Biggest Concerns For Ohio State Heading Into 2014
The Ohio State Buckeyes had a good shot at playing for a national title this season.
That is until they lost the Big Ten Championship game to the Michigan State Spartans. The Buckeyes had gone undefeated in the regular season and a win over the Spartans surely would've sealed them a trip to the BCS National Championship game. Instead, they headed to the Orange Bowl, where they lost to the Clemson Tigers and further solidified their inability to beat other top-ranked teams.
The biggest reason for their struggles is a lackluster defense that did not play up to their potential. The Buckeyes had a championship-caliber offense that was one of the most explosive offenses in the country, but their defense was nothing to brag about. Urban Meyer knows the defense can be better, as he sees their potential, and hopes him and his defensive team can come up with a much better defensive plan in 2014. The defense will be losing star linebacker Ryan Shazier and cornerback Bradley Roby to the NFL. However, the Buckeyes have plenty of young defensive players who have showed promise and could be a great option to replace the talents of Shazier and Roby.
The Buckeyes' offense should be in good shape if Braxton Miller decides to return for his senior season. It was reported on Saturday that he would return, but the media outlets in Columbus are reporting that he has not yet made a decision and that it should come this week. It is suspected that he will stay. The biggest concern will be if Miller doesn't return, but if he does, then the biggest offensive concern the Buckeyes should have is their offensive line. The offensive line will be losing a majority of their starters and the worry is that the starters in 2014 will not be able to protect the quarterback as well as the current starters did. Ohio State will also be losing senior running back Carlos Hyde and senior wide receiver Corey "Philly" Brown.
What other questions does Ohio State need to answer as they head into the 2014 season? It certainly has some repairs to make if it wants to make a run for a championship, especially with the losses of some key players on both sides of the ball.

5. Will Braxton Miller return for his senior season?
This question should be answered sometime this week. Right now there is conflicting information, but it sounds like there is a good chance that Miller could return for the Buckeyes in 2014. It would be a huge boost to an Ohio State offense that will be losing some key players, including star backup quarterback Kenny Guiton. If Miller leaves, their next option would be Cardale Jones, who will be a sophomore next season. He is currently their third string quarterback and has had very little playing time yet with Miller and Guiton ahead of him. Jones has been compared to the likes of former NFL and Marshall Thundering Herd quarterback Byron Leftwich, but Ohio State's best chance of winning a championship next season will be if their offense is led by Miller. Miller will likely be a Heisman favorite again next season barring any more injuries, which is what took him out of the running in 2013.
4. Can offensive line protect the quarterback?
The offensive line that did such a wonderful job of protecting Miller and Hyde, while also creating running lanes for the explosive rushing duo, will be losing four senior starters. Only sophomore right tackle Taylor Decker will be returning on the offensive line and the Buckeyes will look to him to be a leader. It will be important for them to be able to protect the quarterback, especially if it's Miller, who will do even greater things in 2014, if he can get the protection that he needs.
3. Who will replace Carlos Hyde?
Hyde ran for more than 1,500 yards in just 11 games this season. He and Miller made up perhaps the most explosive rushing attack in college football that was feared by many teams and difficult to stop. Even the No. 1 defense of Michigan State could not slow them down. Senior Hyde will be leaving for the NFL and fellow senior running back Jordan Hall will be gone too, so the Buckeyes will need to find good running backs to replace them. Bri'onte Dunn, Ezekiel Elliott, Rod Smith and even Dontre Wilson could be options to replace Hyde. Elliott is the most likely since he shows the most promise. Wilson is going to be worked into more of an all-around player by Meyer, so that opposing defenses don't know what to expect when he comes in. He could be lined up in the backfield, at the receiver position, or just put in to block. His speed gives Meyer plenty of options. It will certainly be a battle in spring training to determine who will be Hyde's replacement.
2. How can defense be greatly improved?
The Ohio State defense needs much improvement if they want to be successful in 2014. The losses of star linebacker Shazier and cornerback Roby to the NFL are indeed huge losses for the defense, but the Buckeyes have plenty of young defensive players who have already proved they can step up and make plays when necessary. The Orange Bowl was essentially a peek into their future as they started six freshmen or sophomores on defense with Roby sidelined with a knee injury and Noah Spence suspended. Jamal Marcus started in place of Spence and had six tackles and a deflected pass. The toughness of defensive end Joey Bosa is something the Buckeyes desperately need defensively. Bosa showed that toughness by playing most of the Orange Bowl on a sprained ankle. Much-improved linebacker Joshua Perry could lessen the blow of losing Shazier, though they will still need plenty of improvement at the linebacker position. Vonn Bell, Tyvis Powell and Armani Reeves all show promise in a secondary that will be without Roby next season. They all started in the Orange Bowl and showed flashes of greatness. If Ohio State can concentrate on making its defense better and build on the young defensive potential it has, then it may have a shot at a championship. It wasn't far off from it this season despite the defense playing the way it did.
1. Can Ohio State win a championship?
The Buckeyes will need to answer all of these questions and more if they expect to be able to win the Big Ten and compete for a national championship in the new playoff system that the NCAA will employ in 2014. Miller will provide a nice boost to the offense if he returns, as he looks to continue to make plays with his legs and improve on his passing game. The biggest question will be their less than stellar defense. If they can greatly improve their defense with some promising young players, then the losses of Roby and Shazier won't sting as much. Meyer knows how to turn his team into a championship team, so don't be surprised if they're in the running for a championship once again in 2014.
