Cole Miller and Donald Cerrone have animosity going back years, but Mille recently called for a fight with 'Cowboy' who responded to it at the post-fight press conference for the UFC on FOX 10:

Things change. Cowboy reversed his tone of a move down at Saturday's post-fight presser. Plus UFC wants him at 55. Dana White even said:"The kid is shredded. He doesn't have an ounce of fat on his body. He has grueling cuts at 155. There's no way he should cut to 145. Not that this kid listens to anything I f-ing tell him to do anyway, but I don't like it, and I don't want him to do it."Too many high profile fights for him still at 55. Plus he likes to drink his Budweiser and eat his pizza he was quoted as saying, so Cowboy isn't going anywhere.

This would be a good fight without the beef. Side note -- Cowboy has already spent his purse from this fight *

Donald Cerrone Will Drop to Featherweight After UFC 167 Fight with Evan Dunham Cerrone revealed this plan after mentioning BJ Penn as a dream opponent for his future. Penn recently enlisted the help of weight-cut and dieting guru Mike Dolce to help prepare for his own cut to 145 pounds, and Cerrone said he would like to follow suit. "I need to get Dolce on my side," Cerrone said. "I'm going to 145 after this fight [with Dunham]."
1/27/14 4:26 PM by SevenLeggedSpider
Cerrone then backed his decision, saying that he feels he can compete and "Go get the belt" in the division. "I just think I could really dominate down there," Cerrone said. "Most people lose a lot of fights, and they run down; I'm going to go down to 45 after a win."

Were you there?

No way in hell cowboy makes 45. Hes already completely shredded at 155 and doesn't really have skinny legs to begin with
1/27/14 3:56 PM by MasterofMartialArts
I like this idea.If you really want the fight, fight the guy at his natural weight.
1/27/14 3:54 PM by orbit
Cerrone wins.
1/27/14 3:50 PM by Haadogei
Cerrone has a ridiculously more impressive list of opponents on his resume. He's on the edge of top 10 in an elite weight class. Coles list of opponents is much softer . He's outside the top 30 in a much weaker weight class. p4p worldwide cerrone is probably 200 spots higher in the rankings. Cole has no business being in the cage with cerrone.
1/27/14 3:36 PM by saemskin
Cerrone has already talked about going to 145 a couple times, so there ya go.

Day 415--July 10--Set out after dinner feeling pretty good. 2.66 miles total. I'm slowly creeping in a 1/4 mile at a time and hoping my body loves me for it! Maybe I'll get 3 in tomorrow...I'll be happy with 1, but you know :-) Night 3 of Epsom salt soaks...day 6 of foam roller. Between all of this and mega low mileage, I think it's working! Hahaha...Keep it going guys!
Keep taking it nice and easy. You'll get there! How long until the races (I'm thinking half and full is what I saw) that you signed up for?
7/11/14=3.1 miles before work
It was a bit sticky this morning but had a decent run. We are going to heat back into the 90's this weekend. I'm running a 5K Saturday night at 7:30. There is a concert after the race which is free to the runners. I'll probably stick around for a while and drink a beer with a friend who is also running.
Happy Friday!
Have a wonderful time at the 5k and concert with your friend.
Friday 6 miles at the park in mystic and this time I did not get lost!
saturday ran the jamestown half marathon. Much hillier than I'm used to, but still pleased with my 2:03 finish!
Half is in a month, Full not until October. The way I calculate it, if I'm back at it by next weekend, I should be good to go! I know I have a good base mileage, and I am feeling way better. Just gonna take it easy and listen to my body!
Day 417--July 12--Decided to drive to the track again after dinner and such. Triple digit heat wave over here...ugh! Felt good, no stabbing pain, just tight/dull ache at times. 3.25 miles, and a sigh of relief as I drove home Now to roll, soak, and rest! Great job at your runs ladies!
Day 418--July 13--Lazy morning, slept in until 7:30! I feel like a teenager :-p Whlie sipping on some coffee and snuggling with my princess shihtzu, the weather man informed me that we are under a red flag effect for thunder and lightning this afternoon until tomorrow! So I decided not to wait for this evening for my run, glad I didn't! 75 at 8:30 when I left, and oh so humid. Slow and steady is what I tell myself, 4 miles strong today! Healing, healing , healing!!!!! Looking forward to a new week Keep it up guys!
Isn't it crazy what we consider sleeping in. Great job getting it done this morning.
13 July 3.15 miles on the hotels treadmill this morning.
Great job! Slept in!!! Ha!
Great job getting it done!
Day 598=7/12/14=6.5 miles in the morning and then a 5K in evening where I placed first in my age group! It was HOT but I pushed through.
Day 599=7/13/14=6.5 miles
I couldn't drag out to run this morning before work so will run on my lunch break to celebrate my milestone.
Keep on truckin...
Day 600=7/14/14= 6 miles on my lunch break....it was an eventful 67 minutes.....
It was pourning rain when I started, then the rain slacked off and it sprinkled for a while, then the rain stopped and the sun came out, then it started to sprinkle again and it then started pouring rain when I was a few blocks from my destination. That's the way I like it....you never know what will happen...makes life interesting. Keep on truckin....
Happy 600 to you!!! Sounds like a great run to celebrate your milestone! Keep it up :-)
Day 418--July 14--waited until after dinner again to test out my broken body! Turns out I feel heaps better! another 4.02 for me! Hoping and praying this healing continues! Happy Monday guys!
Yea....glad to hear it! Let the healing continue!!!!
This was day 419!! Lol, I'm not gonna short myself here...
14 July 2014: Made it back from Connecticut early in the morning. I ran with my 5k training group that evening. 3.5 miles of fartleks for me!
15 July 2014: I couldn't get out of bed at 4:30am to go run this morning, so had to come up with Plan B. That was running at 10pm tonight after helping out a friend in the Glass Blowing Studio. 1.9 miles (short, but thankfully did not get run over by any cars that late at night!)
I wanted to share a little bit of my story with you, which I'm not sure if I ever did. What brings this on is one of my favorite running companies (Fellow Flowers) was having a random draw contest and they asked this question. What life experience has recently required (or soon will require) you to dig deep, stay committed, channel your inner-strength and BRING IT in a major way? Well after reading the very raw and emotional responses that many people gave I felt it was necessary that I be as forthcoming as well. Here was my reply:
I have an issue with competitiveness and control (not with others, just with myself). Approximately 7 years ago this manifested into an eating disorder. I have been able to get myself out of that cycle, but I am always working on channeling that control and competition into healthier channels. I have found running/ triathlons/ etc to be an excellent outlet and "healthy habit" for me to have gotten into.
This is not something that I tend to just come out and share with people very freely, but felt a necessity to do so in this situation. I am also sharing with you, because Jen, Kendra, and Trek you have become my running support system and although I don't know you in person I feel like I know each of you extremely well. Here's to us continuing on this journey together for many years to come!!!
FYI - I won the contest, and am now going to be the proud new owner of a Strength Running shirt, Red Flower, and Strength Sweaty Band to proudly show off on my runs!
Great job on your runs, and thanks for sharing. That is a huge problem with a lot of people, and I am so glad you are able to break the cycle for a healthier you! You are an amazing runner, and should be proud of what you have accomplished! Grats on winning the contest! Here's to us, and the journey!! :-)
Day 420--July 15--Another triple digit day...I just keep on remembering how much the winter wind sucks! Lol
4.21 miles this evening...keep it up guys!
Wow, thanks for sharing that information. It brought tears to my eyes. You have accomplished so much and I know you will continue to do so. You inspire me every time I read one of your posts. Keep up the good work with your healthy lifestyle. I know it isn't easy, some days are better than others, but you always have your friends here if you need anything. You can count on us. Take care...Kendra
Whew....stay cool out there. Great job!
Megan, I forgot to say congrats on winning the contest. You go, girl! You definitely bring it....no doubt!
7/16/14=3.1 miles before work
We are having some freakishly (is that a word?) cool weather. Record lows in the 50's and highs in the 70's. There was a guy walking this morning who was wearing a jacket and GLOVES. I'm not sure it was that cold but...whatever works for you.
Ugh, good job in the heat. I am glad we haven't hit triple digits yet this year.
You definitely see all kinds while out running. I definitely would have taken a second look if I saw someone sporting gloves one morning!
16 July 2014: 6.05 miles this evening. Tomorrow is the OH/ MI 8k. I will be sporting my Scarlet and Gray in support of The Ohio State University which I graduated from in 2001!
Day 421--July 16--4.65 miles late evening
Day 422--July 17--4.71 miles this morning! 5 am wake up...fresh cool air looks like a cooling trend is heading my way, phew!
Way to represent! Have a fantastic run
Good luck with your race. I like the 8K distance. Go Ohio State!
Great job getting it done! Hope you get some of the cool air we have had the last several days!
Day 603=7/17/14=3.1 miles before work.... nice and cool again this morning. I know the nice weather won't last so I'm enjoying it while I can.
I've been studying my race stats and discovered that I have run 51 5K races and 51 10K races. I thought it might be fun to try to run my 57th race at each distance while I am 57 years old. I'll turn 57 in September (ugh!). The 5K challenge won't be difficult but we really don't have that many 10K's around here. We will see...gotta dream....keep on truckin.....
Sounds like a great goal. Good luck finding your races!!!
17 July 2014: 8km or (5.01 miles) I don't take the inside corner on the turns like those fast people do! The race allowed me to see how far I've come in the past year last years 8k was done in 49:49, and this years was 43:25! It's great to be actually able to quantify your progress.
18 July 2014: Plan was 7 miles of hill training, but sometimes life gets in the way of your plans. After a hard evening of watching my grandmother finally agree to admit my grandfather who has dementia into a care facility, and getting him set up I just didn't have it in me. I set out to run 2 miles, and somewhere along the way just kept going to help clear my head. I ended up at 5 miles for the evening. I'm hoping that tomorrow is a little easier on everyone.
Day 423--July 18--My dear friend and usual summer running partner came to town today! She is only here for a few days, so of course we had to go for a run 4.20 miles for us! Gosh I wish she lived here...miss having a running partner! On an even brighter note...my injury seems to be healing every day! I feel like I deserve a medal for being so patient thru this...2 weeks is a LOoooOonnnng time! I still feel a bit weak, will take it easy and play it by feel for the next few days or so. Being slightly injured is actually hard work! Stretching, foam rolling, yoga poses, soaking and icing, barely running...sucks! Hope you guys have a good weekend!
Good job on your runs, that is some great progress!
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope you and your family find some comfort somehow during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts
Day 424--July 19--Set out late this evening for a few miles that turned into 7.04!!! Gosh, it felt so good to go for almost a full hour...pure bliss! I'm so hopeful that I'm really on my way back. My pace was slower than normal, but I really don't want to push it too much. I figure many miles a bit slower is better than pushing it and hurting again! I have also decided to abandon any real goal times for my upcoming half and just use it as a longer training run for my October marathon I still have 3 weeks until half, never know...I could be 100%! Keep it up guys!!
Great job on your 8K. That is an epic improvement for you...wow.
So sorry about your grandfather. That is a heart breaker. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
Take care!
You are correct that being injured is hard work and very stressful. I'm glad that you are getting back to 100%. You have been smart with your recovery and that makes all the difference. Sounds like you and your girlfriend had fun.
Sounds great. Don't worry about your pace. You will speed up when the time is right. Which marathon are you running in October? I'm running the Kansas City marathon on October 18.
Day 605=15 miles....felt fairly decent. It was a nice morning.
Day 606=6.5 miles....the Maple Woods/Happy Rock path was crowded with people, mostly walking, some with their dogs...it was another nice morning. We are heating back up this afternoon! I have enjoyed our cooler weather but knew it couldn't last forever....

Where is North Korea's satellite heading?
If all goes according to plan, North Korea will launch its Unha-3 rocket from the Sohae launch facility in just a day or two. The rocket is said to contain an earth observation satellite that will orbit the globe providing pictures and climatic data.
Getting all the pieces to work as planned will be no small feat for North Korea. Its previous attempt to launch a satellite using a three-stage rocket failed in 2009 when the third stage didn't ignite, sending it and a satellite plunging into the Pacific Ocean.
Assuming all three stages of the rocket succeed this time, the precision with which each stage fires and flies will be key to getting the satellite into the correct orbit.
The intended orbit was first announced on March 16, when a KCNA bulletin said the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite will be "a polar-orbiting earth observation satellite."
A polar orbit, as its name suggests, sends a satellite over or close to each of the Earth's poles. In this case, it will travel across Asia from north to south before crossing the southern pole and traveling back south to north across the opposite side of the world. It will then cross the north pole before heading back across Asia.
A KCNA interview with a North Korean space official provided more details on March 28 with the news that the satellite, "will circle along the solar synchronous orbit at 500km high altitude." A solar-synchronous orbit is a precise orbit that requires an accurate launch — and satellite watchers spotted a discrepancy between this intention and North Korea's launch plan, which was detailed by North Korea Tech on March 21.
Ted Molczan, a well known satellite spotter, analyzed the launch trajectory of the rocket:
To be sun-synchronous, a 500 km orbit requires an inclination of 97.42 deg. At the latitude of the launch site, a trajectory that directly ascends to that inclination requires a launch azimuth of approximately 192.3 deg (12.3 deg west of due south). The azimuth from the launch site through the various impact zones downrange should agree closely with this value, typically within a degree or so, absent any significant yaw-steering (aka dogleg) early in the ascent. The azimuth from the launch site to the midpoint of the southern boundary of the 2nd stage's impact zone is 181.0 deg, which is far from the required 192.3 deg. – Ted Molczan
So, the launch trajectory suggested by the North Korean notifications doesn't match that needed for the stated orbit.
Molczan produced this graphic that shows the announced launch trajectory (red) and what's actually required to get the satellite into the 500km solar-synchronous orbit. North Korea's problem with these two launch paths is that one involves the first stage landing on South Korea while the other sends the rocket over populated areas of China and Taiwan with the second stage possibly impacting The Philippines.
The intended launch path seems to have been chosen to keep the rocket over water.
Another possibility for the launch was visualized by Bob Christy on his Zarya website, but he notes "it is an ambitious manoeuvre for a first launch to orbit."
Whether the satellite makes a "solar synchronous" orbit — or even makes it into space — won't be clear until after the planned launch but does the precise orbit matter anyway? To the North Koreans, probably not.
After all, North Korea already has access to weather imagery through the World Meteorological Organization. Getting a satellite into space and having it transmit something would be a significant technological feat for the country. It would make the DPRK only the 11th country to manage such a task and that alone would represent a big step forward for the country.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?

Photo by James BunoanGrassroots democracy smells like hair-care products, the undersides of old sofa cushions and the nose-itching suspicion that microscopic life forms are springing airborne from the fibers of a dusty old carpet. But Gerrie Schipske refuses to sneeze at it. She's sympathetic enough when you ah-choo, but not apologetic. "We didn't thoroughly clean this place before we moved in," she explains pragmatically, glancing about the office she rents on the outskirts of an old Long Beach shopping center, right above a beauty college. "We just couldn't waste the volunteers' time on that."
Schipske is a Democrat running for Congress in the 46th District against incumbent Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach), and election day is only a month away. She has pinched an hour from her schedule to sit for an interview, but even as she stops scurrying and settles onto a metal folding chair, it's obvious her attention—and her allegiance—are with the dozen people who have shown up to fold fliers and stuff envelopes. They're spending a sunny autumn morning in a windowless room, clustered around a long table, surrounded by the maps, signs, boxes and newspaper clippings that decorate and clutter this sinus headache of a campaign headquarters. But they're not sneezing, either.
"These are the kinds of people who are going to decide this election," Schipske promises in the hopeful tradition of all political challengers, "and that bodes well for me."
If that's true—if smelly old grassroots democracy is the winner in the 46th District—Schipske's chances are probably good. But that type of campaign is a longer shot than ever in an era of declining voter turnout and diminishing issues-oriented political news coverage.
Clearly, Schipske could use some help from above—like, the upper echelon of the Democratic Party. Mysteriously, however, this is where she has run into her greatest obstacle. The Schipske for Congress campaign is receiving no financial assistance from Democratic power-brokers—none from the party, none from its PACs. And since such money is what triggers high-profile endorsements, most of her most-natural major allies have remained silent.
"We're on our own," Schipske acknowledges. "We're fending for ourselves."
Ask Schipske about this abandonment, and she gets up from her folding chair and closes the door between her office and the volunteers who are still preparing campaign mailers. She doesn't want them to hear, although she concedes they already know.
"My understanding is that a deal was cut," Schipske says. "Democrats ponied up money to get new district lines drawn the way they wanted them, and a deal was cut with Republicans that the new lines would solidify certain Republican seats. That way, the Republicans would not object to the redistricting."
It's true that for the first time in memory, Republicans filed no court challenges to the redistricting.
"The other implicit deal that's been made," Schipske continues, "is that neither party will fund aggressive campaigns against the incumbents who have been made safe by redistricting."
Sure enough, with the exception of Gary Condit's seat up north, it's hard to find a district in California—congressional, assembly or state senate—where the Democrat and Republican parties are vigorously contesting one another.
"The boundaries were drawn to assure that the party in power would continue to have the advantage in that district," Schipske says, shaking her head. "There's something drastically wrong with that picture."
Meanwhile, although Schipske's positions on a number of issues—the environment, human rights, reproductive choice—are distinctly different than Rohrabacher's, she has not picked up endorsements from organizations including the California League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, the Human Rights Campaign or the National Abortion Rights Action League.
Why? Isn't Schipske very obviously a better friend to the environment than Rohrabacher?
"That's certainly true," says David Allgood, Southern California director of the California League of Conservation Voters (CLCV). "But the CLCV has a position that we don't look at races where viability is in question."
Allgood means he doesn't know if Schipske can win. "We have limited resources," he explains, "and we have to conserve them."
But even if the CLCV can't donate monetarily, can't it at least help with an endorsement?
"No because it takes a lot of staff time to set up the endorsement process, to do the interview, process the answers, all of that," Allgood says. "We don't have the resources to do all of that when we have questions over whether the candidate is viable."
If the CLCV doesn't have the time to set up the endorsement process, how does it have the time to determine a candidate's viability?
"Look, we've been doing this for 30 years," says Allgood. "We look at the party registration numbers in the district and we look at the candidates past performances. Rohrabacher is an incumbent where the registration is in his favor. So we chose to look elsewhere."
Schipske's complaint is that, with no endorsement, voters are left to assume that there is no difference between her and Rohrabacher on environmental issues—or on any of the other issues where high-profile organizations have withheld comment on her candidacy.
"I would suggest things are moving toward a time when people say, 'Well, why have elections? If the parties have gotten together and colluded to determine who is going to be in office, why go through the charade?' I'm starting to sense—and this is not the candidate in me talking, but the political scientist, the citizen—that the average voter is getting tired of this. People are coming down with political fatigue, with democracy fatigue."

Lewis Chamberlain: Plan retirement withdrawal strategy carefully
As you retire, there are variables you can't control; investment performance and fate are certainly toward the top of the list.
Your approach to withdrawing and preserving your retirement savings, however, may give you more control over your financial life. Let's take a look at different ways to respond to the challenge.
Drawing retirement income without draining your savings is a challenge, and the response to it varies per individual. Today's retirees will likely need to be more flexible and look at different withdrawal methods and tax and lifestyle factors.
Should you go by the 4 percent rule? For decades, retirees were cautioned to withdraw no more than 4 percent of their retirement balances annually (adjusted north for inflation as the years went by). This "rule" still has merit (although sometimes the percentage must be increased out of necessity). T. Rowe Price has estimated that someone retiring with a typical 60 percent/40 percent stock/bond ratio in a portfolio has just a 13 percent chance of depleting retirement assets across 30 years if he or she abides by the 4 percent rule. A 7 percent initial withdrawal rate invites an 81 percent chance of outliving your retirement assets in 30 years.
That sounds like a pretty good argument for the 4 percent rule in itself. However, while the 4 percent rule regulates your withdrawals, it doesn't regulate portfolio performance. If the markets don't do well, your portfolio may earn less than 4 percent, and if your investments repeatedly can't make back the equivalent of what you withdraw, you
will risk depleting your nest egg over time.
How about the portfolio percentage method? Some retirees elect to withdraw X percent of their portfolio in a year, adjusting the percentage based on how well or poorly their investments perform. As this can produce greatly varying annual income even with responsive adjustments, some retirees take a second step and set upper and lower limits on the dollar amount they withdraw annually. This approach is more flexible than the 4 percent rule, and in theory you will never outlive your money.
Or maybe the spending floor approach? That's another approach that has its fans. You estimate the amount of money you will need to spend in a year and then arrange your portfolio to generate it. This implies a laddered income strategy, with the portfolio heavily weighted toward bonds and away from stocks. This is a traditionally considered a more conservative approach than the two methods above: with a low equity allocation in your portfolio, only a minority of those assets are exposed to stock market volatility, and yet they can still capture some upside with a foot in the market.
Pay attention to tax efficiency. Many people have amassed sizable retirement savings, yet give little thought as to the order of their withdrawals. Generally speaking, there is wisdom in taking money out of taxable accounts first, then tax-deferred accounts and lastly tax-exempt accounts. This withdrawal order gives the assets in the tax-deferred and tax-exempt accounts some additional time to grow. A smartly conceived withdrawal sequence may help your retirement savings to last several years longer than they would in its absence. More on this in a future article.
Keeping healthy might help you save more. Increasingly, people want to work until age 70 or longer. Many assume they can, but their assumption may be flawed. The 2012 Retirement Confidence Survey from the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that 50 percent of current retirees had left the workforce earlier than they planned, with personal or spousal health concerns a major factor.
When you eat right, exercise consistently and see a doctor regularly, you may be bolstering your earning potential as well as your constitution. Health problems can hurt your income stream and reduce your chances to get a job, and medical treatments can eat up time that you could use in other ways. Good health can mean fewer ER visits, fewer treatments and fewer hospital stays, all saving you money that might otherwise come out of your retirement fund.
Fidelity figures that a couple retiring now at age 65 will spend $240,000 (in 2012 dollars) on retirement health expenses across their remaining years. That $240,000 doesn't even include dental, over-the-counter drug and long-term care costs (and as a reminder, many eye, ear and dental care costs are not even covered under Medicare or by Medigap policies). Every year you work may mean another year of health insurance coverage as well as income.

Scirea work for vs. BLES?
Scirea work for vs. BLES?
Hey guys, question to whoever knows.
If I will update to the latest CFW and get PSN access. Would I be able to buy Tokyo Jungle? Would it work without PSN access?
Or perhaps, does anyone else have the game? Maybe he/she could share.
OK, thanks for clearing that up. 99% of all the other fixes out there seem to work on CFW 3.41 also. This fix fails on my 3.41 because all I get is an "80010009" error. Can anyone fix it for 3.41? Thanks!
I do not know, you should try it
Please release ACIII fix! We still can play it before it's officially out! plz
I'm sure the fix will be out as soon as their finished playing it.
Guys i need the original EBOOT for Prototype 2. If anyone has it or a link plz let me know, thanks.
PS3 Assassins.Creed.III.Eboot.Patch.PS3-DUPLEX

Eydie Gorme
Although most of her career was conducted during the rock era, traditional pop singer Eydie Gorme carved out a place for herself in several areas of entertainment. For 20 years, from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, she consistently scored in the pop charts, with a parallel place in the Latin pop field from the 1960s on. She appeared on television and on the Broadway stage. And she was a major ...more

TAVORIS CLOUD OVER MURAT TIME 6245Posted August 29, 2012 6:40 am
The light-heavy weight division really needs unification. Shumenov has called out Cleverley to a fight in Las Vegas which is after all nuetral ground & a reasonably even match up. If that fight could be made then Cloud against the winner would be a natural. Obviously the WBC belt is still owned by Dawson & I'm guessing that confusion could occur should he lose to Ward.

I usually use the vim re-indent operator ('=') in order to indent my sourcecode according to its syntax. I also use it on the whole file, especially if I have to read sourcecode that was written by someone else and they have different tab settings or something like that ('gg=G' is really helpful there). This is only problematic when I have something like
(1) int main() {
(2) for (int i=0; i<3; i++) {
(3) //for (int i=0; i<4; i++) {
(4) std::cout << i << std::endl;
(5) }
(6) }
When I try to indent this code, I get the following indentation levels:
(1) level 0 (which is good)
(2) level 1 (also)
(3) level 2 (could be 1, but I can live with that)
(4) level 2 (good)
(5) level 1 (good)
(6) level 1 (this is the problem)
So the closing brace in line (5) is associated with the opening brace in line (3), which is commented out and therefore not part of the syntax. And the closing brace in line (6) is paired with the opening one in (2), which is wrong. This problem also affects the rest of the code, as functions that come after this one will not be aligned to level 0 but start at level 1.
If the cursor is on the brace in line (5), the correct matching brace in (2) is highlighted, but pressing '%' jumps to line (3). This issue is addressed here, but the supposed solution (a plugin called matchit) only fixes the %, not the =.
Does anyone know of a plugin or hack that solves this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I finally decided to make an indieDB page as the build is about to be released soon!
Seiken Cube Densetsu is a pet simulator game with a little bit of RTS battle element in it. I think it's a fairly unique game and I can't wait to hear what you all think of it once it gets released!!!
Keep your eyes peeled!

inFamous: Festival of Blood - Trophy Guide and Road Map
-Estimated trophy difficulty: x/10 (Vote: Trophy Difficulty Rating - PlaystationTrophies.org)
-Offline: 12 (or 13, see below)
-Online: 2 (or 1, depending on if you need an internet connection for the two mandatory UGC missions)
-Approximate amount of time to 100%: 3-5 Hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
-Number of missable trophies: None
-Glitched trophies: None
-Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheats
-Does difficulty affect trophies?: No
Cole McGrath isn't your typical kind of hero. Hated by many, and loved by few, he is the silent savior of New Marais. On this night, however, things take a turn for the worse. He has been bitten by the one and only Bloody Mary. Now Cole only has a few hours to adapt to his new vampire abilities, stop Mary, and save New Marais.
Or else he becomes the Bloody Mary's brand new servant, in a long line of nameless vampires before him.
Step One: Clear the Game
The first step in obtaining this 100% is simply beating the game. Go for anything you think you can knock out along the way, such as stakes and bites. By the end of this step you will at least have:
- Fangs for Playing
Step Two: Free Roam
After defeating Bloody Mary, you are allowed to free roam, like other inFamous titles. Here you should be getting any trophies you didn't get during your initial playthrough.

Fangs for Playing - Kill Bloody Mary
Story-related, can't be missed. Simply complete Festival of Blood, and this will unlock after the credits.
NOTE: There are two mandatory UGC missions. At this time, it is not known if these are part of the game, or if you need an Internet connection. I personally didn't have to agree to the EULA agreement until after the two missions. So a connection may be required to finish the game
Blood Junkie - Collect all Canopic Jars and max out your blood meter
Canopic Jars are like Blast Shards. They increase your Blood Meter, and let you use your Vampire-specific abilities longer. They are found in alleys, and on rooftops. While holding , they glow yellow, like everything else vampire-related.
After obtaining the upgraded radar, you should have this in no time. Unlike inFamous 1/2, there aren't three islands to tackle. After finding one jar, the radar points you in the direction of the next one, taking a total of 20-30 minutes to find all 100 jars.
Bleeder's Digest - Discover all of Mary's teachings
Mary's teachings are found in the same manner as Canopic Jars, except you're looking for glyphs (like in Assassins Creed). They serve as the games Dead Drops. While holding you will see arrows. They can appear on the ground, on the sides of buildings, roofs, etc. Follow these arrows and they will lead to a glyph, and unlock one of Mary's bizarre readings.
After finding five, you will receive the upgraded radar. This will make finding teachings and jars much easier.
NOTE: Glyphs stating "Bring the Humans Here" are NOT teachings. These require you to free the encaged humans...which is totally optional.
Count Dra-Cole-a - Unlock all Powers
You unlock powers by staking vampires, and you receive a new power every 20 stakes. You will get upgrades to these powers by finishing UGC missions. The upgraded radar also serves as a power.
Stakehouse - Stake 20 hidden Firstborn vampires
While roaming the streets of New Marais, the aura over Cole's head will turn red. Quickly press and hold and scan the crowd. Normal humans will appear as skeletons with visible pink insides. Firstborns will appear as black and white, with no color at all. Walk up behind them and stake 20 for the trophy.
The first image shows a human, while the second shows a Firstborn.
Blood Bank - Collect half of the Canopic Jars
(See "Blood Junkie")
Flight Night - Stay airborne for 250 meters while in Shadow Swarm
Climb to a high place, with a full blood meter. Press on the D-pad, and fly straight, making sure not to crash. After 250 meters, trophy unlocked.
Bite Club - Bite 100 Civilians
98% of the New Marais is made up of civilians (with the other 2% being hidden Firstborns). Simple run up to them and press . After 100 bites, this is all yours. (I had half the required by the end of the first mission)
Underground Tour - Return to the underground while no mission is active and travel from one end of the catacombs to the other
I got this during the first UGC mission. The park is one of the entrances to the Underground. Abandon the mission, and enter from this door. After a casual wire grind to the end, exit out of the other door.
Raising the Stakes - Stake 100 Vampires
After defeating a vampire, it's body will remain on screen. Walk up to it and press to stake it. (I got most of my stakes just by doing combos and utilizing the finisher)
Hindenburg Complex - Destroy a Balloon
While the description is a tad misleading, it means the giant devil balloons floating overhead. Destroy one, and this one's all yours.
Dinner Theater - Bite a member of a street parade
As in inFamous 2, street performers are alive and kicking throughout the festival. You'll probably bite one while attempting "Bite Club". Street performers dress in black, and have drums or torches.
Thanks to Troublemaker411
Give Them the Fanger - Clear out 20 Vampire Packs
Vampire Packs appear as large red blips on your radar. There are usually 5-7 vampires, and they have hostages (but don't worry about them). These fights are very straight-forward, and after 20, the trophy unlocks.
Play. Create. Scare. - Play 20 Festival of Blood UGC Missions
UGC missions appear as Green Blips on your map. You have to clear two to progress in the story. The rest become available once you begin free roam. After 20, trophy unlocked.
A great tip from gueeds2203:
Also here is a map for the teachings/jars. (Thanks to robpoole!)

Well, got the trophy for the canopy (took 30mn), there are 100 of them, very easy to find once you have the upgraded radar, they'll show one after another when you collect them and for the teachings of mary, you need 10 of them (but i don't remember if it's to add to the 5 or 6 you need for an upgrade. But there's more than 15 for sure, maybe 20, there're two i didn't get, which required to move humans on signs)

The image gives a new take on Sherrie Levine-ish appropriation, getting at it through full-blown still life.
You could write a thick book tracing his appropriation of rhetoric from Lincoln, FDR, Truman, JFK, and lately, Teddy Roosevelt.
The 2009 appropriation tripled the rate of assistance that the U.S. had been sending.
The "culprits" in the appropriation of my discipline are two of my best friends, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein.
And Obama took a proactive role in requesting the 2009 appropriation.
He stands charged with unlawful, if not criminal, appropriation of gifts and moneys.
How about the blatant person who had declared HE could have gotten the appropriation?
He would ask, could not an appropriation be made for the use of the Military Establishment in general terms?
Congress had already made an appropriation of $850,000 to build gunboats.
The Council accepted the challenge, and rejected the appropriation Bill.
late 14c., "taking (something) as private property," from Late Latin appropriationem (nominative appropriatio) "a making one's own," noun of action from past participle stem of appropriare (see appropriate). Meaning "setting aside for some purpose" (especially of money) first attested 1789 in U.S. Constitution.
The grant of money by a legislature for some specific purpose. The authority to grant appropriations, popularly known as the power of the purse, gives legislatures a powerful check over executive branches and judicial branches, for no public money can be spent without legislative approval. Congress, for example, can approve or reject the annual budget requests of the executive branch for its agencies and programs, thereby influencing both domestic and foreign policy.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Joachim Muller, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead sir.
Joachim Muller
Thank you. Good morning ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Deutsche Bank I would like to welcome you to our fourth quarter analyst call from Frankfurt. By now you should have access to all of our publications, which you will find on our website. Anshu Jain, our Co-CEO will kick off this call, and provide the highlights of our full year results. Our CFO, Stefan Krause, will then walk you through our financials in detail.
As usual, please take notice of the cautionary statements regarding forward-looking statements at the end of the presentation. And with that, I will hand over to Anshu.
Anshu Jain
Thank you, Joachim, and good morning ladies and gentlemen. As you have seen, our revenues in the fourth quarter were resilient despite a difficult environment, EUR 7.9 billion in revenues, up a billion on the same quarter in 2011. Most pleasingly our Basel 3 core tier 1 ratio now stands at 8%, 80 basis points ahead of the 7.2% target that we set ourselves for the end of 2012.
However, we do have a pre-tax loss of EUR 2.6 billion in the fourth quarter, and a full-year profit of EUR 1.4 billion, which is way below the EUR 5.4 billion that we had in 2011. This reflects a number of decisions that we have taken, especially in the fourth quarter, many of which have been taken to position Deutsche Bank well for the future. Let me walk you through some of those decisions.
The non-core operations unit has taken a full year loss of EUR 2.4 billion, of that there is a EUR 1.1 billion loss in the fourth quarter. But equally has given us a reduction in risk-weighted assets of EUR 29 billion, which in the net is a capital generation of EUR 2.5 billion to significantly net accretive.
Litigation and impairment charges in our core bank have totaled EUR 1.5 billion, and EUR 1 billion respectively, which is EUR 2.5 billion, significant. Stefan will provide more details on that in a few minutes. The core bank adjusted profitability has been strong, EUR 6.5 billion in 2012, and this after absorbing cost-to-achieve and other costs of EUR 1.4 billion. So you can actually back up in 2012 core bank EBIT of nearly EUR 8 billion.
So now if you move to slide three, you can see we have galvanized Deutsche Bank around the creation and the achievement of our capital targets. When Jurgen and I presented our full-year plan and project 2015 in September, we reflected the feedback from clients, regulators, employees, analysts and investors, which was clear. Capital had to be our top priority. Jurgen and I are very glad and very pleased with the team, which have actually acted across all aspects, pulled every lever in order to be able to [achieve us] to attain this target.
Let me point out some very key features around this target. This has allowed us to narrow our gap to peers. We believe it is the fastest Basel 3 organic capital formation (inaudible) in 2012. It has been achieved by reducing our non-core risk-weighted assets by the equivalent of EUR 29 billion. I said that to you a little bit earlier, and in our core business we have a reduction of EUR 51 billion through a combination of measures, better models and processes and derisking through asset sales and hedging. Here I do have to acknowledge the fact that benign circumstances really from July onwards, thanks to some of the actions taken by central banks, and really the euro crisis getting through to a most acute phase, has definitely been of assistance to us.
In simple terms, this is equivalent of raising EUR 8 billion of core tier one capital with our valuation. Many of you had given us the feedback that that is what we should have done. We stayed resolute and indeed we feel we have been able to achieve the targets we have promised you. In addition to achieving our targets, I'm also pleased to announce that we are increasing as you would expect our target to 8.5% by March 2013, and needless to say if we were to hit that, which we are highly confident we will that will finally put us back in with our peer group.
On slide four you can see our second significant promise to you was to deliver EUR 4.5 billion in annual run rate savings of a full-year cost base of EUR 27 billion back when we spoke to you in September. I'm pleased to tell you that this program as well is on track. We have delivered savings on a run rate basis of EUR 400 million in 2012. Well, where is this coming from? It is coming from really two sets of – two dimensions of cost saving activity. In the front office all our businesses are now enacting the plan that we mentioned to you they would.
I would especially single out here the investment bank and the asset and wealth management unit, which are well ahead actually even of some of the targets they set themselves in terms of front-office headcount and other cost reductions. On the infrastructure side there is a series of initiatives underway, amongst which I would have to say the IT platform renewal and the footprint rationalization have played a very strong role.
In addition to what we have achieved in 2012, for 2013 we already have visibility towards EUR 800 million of cost savings, out of the 1.6 that we set ourselves, and in short, we are as committed and as confident that we will achieve this goal as we are of anything else.
If you move to slide five, you can see that as we move on from capital and costs, it is very important that our franchise continues to remain strong. Clearly as we set bank up for the future, it is vital that we continue to defend and protect and grow our market share. I'm very pleased that we have been able to do that. Again Stefan will take you through the detail business by business, but let me just give you some highlights.
Starting with PBC, I am very proud of our PBC business. They are facing tremendous headwinds, but have increased market share in Germany, have a profitable European business, and are ahead of schedule in delivering synergies from the Postbank integration. Asset and wealth management is a strategically crucial business for us. Michele Faissola and his team have the task of merging five businesses into one. It is a considerable task. Significant progress has been made, but we are under no illusions. It will take some time in order for them to be able to turn this business around. I'm confident that it will emerge as a strong pillar, but a lot still remains to be done.

Purchased a machine this week. Bought this pattern for the beds ~ my daughter wanted to try the harness (C) ~ no lead. I traced out the pattern on wax paper and used sturdier fabric for the maiden voyage. The cut is obviously very simple ( size small is the size we need).
The Bias Tape work on this is very difficult the curves are tight and plentiful ~ as this cut lays out like a heavily flattened & slightly squished capital H.
I am a beginner, I do understand how to place the bias short side sew/ wrap top stitch catching larger side on the back ~ I just do not know how to manipulate to achieve nice work on the curves. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
A narrower bias binding might we easier to get around tight curves. Also you can try pressing the binding into the H shape before sewing it on.
------I finally have a blog. www.detectivehoundstooth.com :)
Thank you, the one I selected seemed to be the narrowest of what they offered. Until I am able to get back to the store I am going to try the iron method and see if I am able to get something going right with that. I just do not see how anyone would be able to fasten that to the curves without puckering. Should have got a Great Dane, I think but thank you.
I'm not sure if you are using store-bought bias tape or if you made your own. However, if you bought your bias tape at the store (probably Wrights brand) I have found it sooooo helpful to actually pre-wash the store bought bias tape -- I throw it in a small mesh lingerie garment bag -- and then toss it in the dryer. Yes I do have to iron/press it back in place to make it look all nice and crisp and pretty again, but I find the pre-washed bias tape so much easier to work with afterwards. Plus since the Wrights brand is poly-cotton a lot of the "factory folds" or "creases" still holds up even after washing and drying.
Or again, if you bought your bias tape at the store, but don't feel like going to the trouble of washing, drying,and ironing it again, try to steam it with your iron to get it to be more manageable around the curves of your sewing project.
-- Edited on 2/14/12 8:57 AM -- -- Edited on 2/14/12 8:58 AM --
As NhiHuynh points out, narrower tape will take the curves easier. If you want to use double fold bias tape and catch both top and bottom in the same line of stitching you need either 1) a binder foot, or 2) to baste the bias tape in place with needle and thread. I guess it's possible to just use pins or even to hold it, but that's too hard for me, and it sounds like it's not working for you.
As an alternative, you can do it in two passes as follows. First, start with unfolded bias tape (you can make your own with a rotary cutter or press flat the store bought tape). Sew it to the outside of the harness, RS together, with a 1/4in or so seam allowance. Wrap the tape around the raw edge and to the inside of the harness and press it. You can press under the raw edge of the tape at this point, or you can just leave it out if you don't care if it looks 100% finished. It'll still look, like 95% finished as the bias tape won't ravel. I would likely just not press the raw tape edge under.
Stitch again through all layers with the outside of the harness on top, catching the bias tape on the underside. Stitch close to the seam between tape and harness. Ideally, I guess this line of stitching should be right in the ditch (you can use a ditch stitching foot if you have one), but it's really most important that it doesn't go back and forth from tape to harness all the time. Either a little on the harness fabric or a little on the tape is fine.
It is store bought, and I think it is Wright's. I did not prewash but will try that tonight as well. I bought (1) pack for finished product and bought one that does not match and am using a thread that really sticks out so I can where the problems are more easily, so I have plenty to work with for the practice runs prior to making the real thing. I will want to have a couple successful runs before I use the intended fabric & bias.
Thanks for the suggestion.
you might also want to try www.youtube.com and do some keyword searching for videos on sewing bias tape on curves, etc.... and see if you can find a good video with some tips for you :)
I'm going to second/third/whatever the advice the others have given you!
1. Homemade bias tape is a hundred times easier to use than purchased. It's kind of a pain to make, but it's *so* much more user-friendly. My favorite fabric for bias tape is microsuede, but almost anything will work. I've never tried Bethie's suggestion to pre-wash the storebought stuff, though, and kind of want to pick up a pack and see how it works!
2. Apply it in two passes, as Tom suggests. It's nearly impossible to get both sides to cooperate at the same time. There are *gads* of bias binding tutorials online; I pretty much always read up on a few before I do a binding project.
3. I find curves easier to negotiate than corners, but one trick I've learned from PR is to take your iron and press the curves into the tape *before* you apply it. Lay the bias tape and the thing you're binding onto your ironing board. Take the folded bias tape and pin it along the path you'll be sewing. Then blast the heck out of it with steam. Let it cool, and then pin it in place for real. It will already be curved/stretched/shrunk to the right size, and you'll have less puckering as you attach it.
Good luck!
------~Gem in the prairie
I understand that having a picture would be helpful. I don't know of a good online tutorial, but I'm sure that a search on 'bias binding' or 'Hong Kong finish' will turn up something. I believe it's also in the Reader's Digest Sewing book if you have that.
I think it's pretty logical once you get going with it. The main idea is to sew the tape to the outside, RS together, then wrap the raw edge with the tape. The second stitching pass just holds it in place.
A quick search turns up this article from Threads. Scroll down to 'Hong Kong finish for unlined jackets' about a third of the way down. You can skip their trimming step

|My favorites are Stephen King, Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind and George R.R. Martin, though there are many other talented authors out there.
|This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.)
|The Wheel of Time Series (Jordan), The Dark Tower (King), The Sword of Truth Series (Goodkind) and A Song of Ice and Sorrow (Martin)


text: Me and my husband MC the first week of last month and well its been hard NOT to touch each other and wait like we should. We were very early stages and the doctor called it an "Ectopic abortion" I have heard so many different stories about how it isn't recommended but a lot of couples still do it and they end up pregnant RIGHT after miscarriage. Is it true that you are "super fertile" after MC?. -Desperate to have another baby :/

Es un sirope perfecto para quienes estéis a dieta ya que tiene 0 calorías. Pero la consistencia es más líquida de lo normal y el sabor tampoco es para tanto. Rico pero sin exagerar. Para más información, tienes mis favoritos y desaconsejados de iHerb en mi blog (link a él desde mi perfil de iHerb).

I can't tolerate the smell, to be honest. it is sweet, mixed with something else you can avoid the smell

A bit syntetic taste...
Just OK

I had high hopes for this product, I had heard wonderful things about it. To me it was just OK. I didn't really like the gel like texture of the syrup, it didn't flow like the syrup I am used to. I know that this is fat free/calorie free, but I was expecting a bit more flavor than what it offers.
