This is both a rider issue and a horse issue. My barn just got a 10 y/o OTTB. He is full of personality and is really cute. We got him from a lady who was letting him sit in pasture for the past 4 months so he is somewhat out of shape, but still knows his stuff. I have never ridden a more difficult horse. I have been on "the crazies" who buck at every turn and spook at everything. He isn't like that. I've never seen him buck or anything of the sort. His issues are all on the flat. The lady was jumping him 3'3 at one point and I tried him over some cross rails last night. Jumping is not the issue at all. He can jump like a dream.
No, his issues are all on the flat. He constantly pulls on the reins, pulling me forward. He is super lazy and won't speed up unless you have a crop AND spurs. Once you get him into the canter he lasts about a lap before "quitting" and going back into the trot. It also doesn't help that his trot is THE WORST I've ever ridden. It is super short and springy. Even at a faster pace trot, it is still not very comfortable. He did have a knee cap issue a few years ago, but we had him looked at and the vet cleared him for jumping. It is almost like all his training was focused on the jumps, and the flat ignored. He will collect very nicely, but fights it after a few laps. He also neck reins better than direct rein. He also leg yields. My trainer thinks he has dressage training, which makes me wonder if there is some cue I need to give him that I don't know. Or maybe a cue I'm giving him without knowing and that's why he pulls so much. And it isn't the bit. We have him in a full cheek snaffle, and he actually likes it. Anything else he chomps on. That one he doesn't. It is sweet iron, too. He also likes to dodge off the rail at one particular spot and more or less side yield away from it. We have only ridden him 5-6 times in the past two weeks. All of this combined makes for a difficult ride.
I'm also having problems keeping my heels down, which is absolutely necessary on him. Due to his bouncy trot my legs keep moving back and my heels up. I found out the only way to keep them down is to keep my calves pressed on his side at all times. But then my legs hurt. (And here I was thinking I was an in-shape rider, haha. He sure told me!). Any tips for making them stronger and keeping them down? I wearing 3 week old sythetic field boots that I'm not sure if they are broken in or not yet. Any tips for anything, me or him, please let me know. I'm one of two students who are allowed to ride him and my trainer has a broken foot and can't ride for another 2-3 months. The other student doesn't come out more than once a week, so its pretty much up to me to fix him. If we can't, we may not keep him. (Keep in mind he is suppose to be the new lesson horse, he is not owned by me. I'm just riding him)

Amway North America
Amway North America Is Part of Alticor and Was Formerly Known as Quixtar and Amway Global
Amway North America is one of North America's leading direct selling companies with Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in the United States, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean - including the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Guam, and Jamaica. It's part of Alticor Corporation, which is the parent company of Amway and its sister companies, including Access Business Group.
In 1999, Amway changed its North American business model, operating over the Internet through Quixtar.com. In 2008, to take maximum advantage of the Amway name, Alticor rebranded Quixtar to Amway Global and changed it in 2010 to Amway North America. However, it has continued with the Internet business model. Alticor has maintained its traditional Amway model elsewhere in the world and today, doing business in more than 80 countries and territories around the world - including parts of the world considered hostile to free enterprise when Amway first opened for business in 1959.
When Amway operated in North America, before changing to the i-commerce model in 1999, IBOs were represented by the Amway Distributors Association, a trade association. Today, the association represents IBOs affiliated with Amway and is now known as the Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI).

Racequeen Vi by ReiZernanWatch
©2014-2016 ReiZernan
Based on Zeronis' Vi design for LOL. She is so cool and badass!
do you mind if I try making a custom skin based off this? thanks
I like this one Vi is meh favorite :3
Sweet, would you mind if i made a cosplay based on this?
I would love to see this new skin...<3
WHOA shes so cool, its gonna be awesome if its goin to be a new skin ^^
Its a nice design on it's own, you could've pulled the Vi out of her and made her an original. It seems like a waste to just keep her as a skin for a different character, specially since the gauntlets are so nice!
Well I just like Vi's character design and I just want to make something out of her
Yeah, I get what you mean, I'm sorry I said it was a waste, just trying to point out how cool your design is c:
Like that one, would be a very cool skin!
Wicked pretty!
Awesome skin idea! Really epic and badass!
Soft legs and hard fist wow .that is a nice piece of art.I'm so a fan now
I wanted to design a character similar, but you beat me to the punch lol. Great work.
Yeah, this sort of theme would work with Vi, Neon Strike MKII?
myghtie grand fist
I like a lot of your work man! Keep it up
Woooh! Really good,I'd buy it!! They gotta make this a real skin
rito pls
Very nice work, keep it up!
Awesome work!
Do you play PlayStation Home?, i just remember something but it's so blurry
Her face is cute yet hot and sexy
beautiful idea!!! *_*
Dem legs!!!
I love her !
I like the idea.. but At the same time I would love to see a Big O Version of Vi in game. If you haven't seen it. Just look up the art work. The arms on it would be a enjoyable sight.
Thanks!!! I had a more cybermech version of her in CGhub before with railguns on her fist but I want to change it.
BTW what's Big O?
BTW what's Big O?
Big O is a Anime Series of a Huge Fight Mech. It ok to some but I like it. Just look at the art work and look at the Main Mech Named Big O.
lol real nice!

With four games left in the regular season, Nuggets coach George Karl is keeping his eyes on the prize.
No, not just getting into the playoffs — but being the sixth seed if/when his team gets there.
"The whole thing, I think, is let's think about sixth," he said today after their practice at the Pepsi Center and before leaving for Saturday's game at Phoenix. "I think if you get three (wins), you have a chance."
The Nuggets are a half-game behind Dallas for sixth in the Western Conference playoffs and plan on keeping the pressure turned up on the Mavericks to continue to win until season's end.

- Track live scoring of NBA games.
But for the Nuggets to claim the sixth spot, and thus a first-round date with the third-seeded team, Denver must finish with a better record than the Mavericks. Dallas owns the head-to-head tiebreaker by virtue of a 3-1 series win over the Nuggets. All the Mavericks, who have three regular season games left, need to do is win enough to ensure a tie.
"I think everything is in a good scenario even though there is a nervousness and a stress to it," Karl said. "But it is a privilege to be stressed. It's a privilege to be in the battle to compete at the highest level of sport. We've worked very hard to get here and now it's our opportunity to go to the next step."
That begins with solving a Phoenix Suns team that has won 12 of the past 13 games against the Nuggets in Phoenix. While the Nuggets have beaten the Suns twice this season, both games were at the Pepsi Center.
There is ample incentive for the Suns to win as well to improve their seeding. Should they beat the Nuggets they would be a half-game behind for seventh.
Phoenix is coming off a victory over the L.A. Clippers on Thursday night and have won eight of 12 games in April as they have proven to be a completely transformed team from the one that struggled so much early in the season.
Blog: Nuggets Ink
The Denver Post's Benjamin Hochman and Chris Dempsey post analysis, notes, video and more on this blog dedicated to the Denver Nuggets.
To walk away with a road win, Karl said slowing down star guard Steve Nash is paramount.
"Anytime you play Phoenix, you have to control the engine, which is Steve Nash," Karl said. "Nash's quarterbacking, he's still great. I thought earlier in the year they were struggling with their personality, but they have figured themselves out. I think they are a team that's a lot like us — they have Nash as their stud — but they have a lot of good players and you've got to be ready for a lot of different personality."

Now Playing Synopsis: Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, and Carla Bruni star in Woody Allen's romantic comedy about a family on a business trip in the City of Light. As a young couple engaged to be married experiences a profound transformation during their visit to Paris, an idealistic man with a romanticized view of the city finds that there's plenty of truth to that old adage about the grass being greener on the other side.

Now Playing Synopsis: Oscar-winner Paul Haggis (Crash) writes and directs this romantic drama that alternates between three tales of intrigue unfolding simultaneously in New York, Paris, and Rome. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael (Liam Neeson) is still reeling from the recent separation from his wife Elaine (Kim Basinger) when he retreats to a Paris hotel room to finish his latest novel. As Michael searches for inspiration, his fiery affair with smoldering journalist and aspiring writer Anna (Olivia Wilde) awakens an intense passion deep within him. Meanwhile, in Rome, unscrupulous American businessman Scott (Adrien Brody) ducks into a place called the Café Americano searching for a taste of home. There he encounters captivating Roma beauty Monika (Moran Atias), who claims to have just lost the ransom she intended to pay her daughter's kidnappers. Smitten and sympathetic, Scott agrees to join her in traveling to a dangerous region of southern Italy, only to realize along the way that he may have fallen victim to an intricate con. As Scott ventures toward an uncertain fate in an unfamiliar country, former soap-opera starlet Julia (Mila Kunis) fights her prolific, ex-husband artist Rick (James Franco) for custody of their six-year-old son in New York City. It seems like a losing battle until Julia's lawyer Theresa (Maria Bello) convinces the court to give her desperate client one last chance to prove she's a fit mother. Now as Julia finds herself on the other side of the glamorous life she once enjoyed, her husband's new girlfriend Sam (Loan Chabanol) watches the situation play out with a heavy heart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde, Adrien Brody, James Franco Movie Details Play Trailer Movie Review
Now Playing Synopsis: An educator and the school where he works are both on the verge of collapse in this hard-hitting drama from director Tony Kaye. Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody) is a gifted teacher whose psyche has been taking a beating -- he still bears emotional scars from his mother's drunken tirades while he was a child, and he's been forced to look after his grandfather (Louis Zorich) as he dies a slow, painful death. Henry has become a substitute teacher rather than fully commit himself to his students, but his latest assignment takes him to a high school where the building is in sad shape and the staff are faring no better. The principal, Carol Dearden (Marcia Gay Harden), is dealing with an unsupportive school board and a hostile husband (Bryan Cranston), Mr. Wiatt (Tim Blake Nelson) is being driven to the edge of a nervous breakdown, Mr. Seaboldt (James Caan) is too cynical to care about his work anymore, and guidance counselor Dr. Parker (Lucy Liu) spends more time insulting the students than helping them. As Barthes struggles to find a reason to continue, two troubled kids break through his wall of ennui -- Meredith (Betty Kaye), an overweight student who is a target for bullies among the students and staff, and Erica (Sami Gayle), a 15-year-old who has sex for money and is used as a punching bag by those around her. Detachment received its world premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Adrien Brody, Marcia Gay Harden, James Caan, Lucy Liu, Christina Hendricks Movie Details Play Trailer Movie Review

Henry Burke (Matt Bush) is the kind of teenager every parent dreams about having; he never ditches school, gets straight A's, and he's secured a college scholarship to pay for his higher education. Unfortunately there's just one thing standing in between Henry and his bright future -- his high-school principal. An uptight authoritarian with a hard-line anti-marijuana stance, Principal Gordon (Michael Chiklis) announces that the entire senior class will undergo mandatory drug testing, and anyone who refuses will be immediately expelled. Henry has just danced with Mary Jane for the very first time, and now his entire future is on the line thanks to a few innocent tokes. But Henry is a bright kid, and when he and local pothead Travix Breaux (Sean Marquette) put their heads together, they come up with a brilliant plan to subvert the testing policy: if they can just get every student in school stoned, Principal Gordon's plan to crucify his pot-loving charges will go completely up in smoke. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Adrien Brody, Matt Bush, Sean Marquette, Colin Hanks, Michael Chiklis Movie Details Play Trailer Movie Review

Summary, Prices, Specs
By New Car Test Drive May 17, 2013
In This Review
Recent improvements make the Dodge Avenger a contender, delivering more bang for the buck than most competitors. Its interior still isn't the richest or most sophisticated in this class, but it's roomy, quiet, straightforward and effective, like the car in general. The ride/handling balance is excellent. With a choice of engines, a range of models and good mileage ratings, the Avenger mates value and features with prices that are hard to beat.

1:24 Oversized Armchair
by PrettySmallThings, published
Thing Info
This is a 123D Catch scan I did of an armchair in my mom's basement over the holidays. It is an overstuffed, contemporary American-style armchair that I've resized to approximately 1:24 scale.
Print one copy of the chair STL. I recommend using at least 2 extra shells to improve surface finish. The file does not require support.
Print four bun feet, using the multiply option. Attach to chair bottom using acetone or glue.

dats boss
you guys need to stop
who invited you
shut up and go away
Great thing! I have made one (see picture) but on my DLP printer is the right side of the back of the chair slightly wider than the left side.(looking from the front) Do you have the same on your PLA printer?
It's quite possible it's not perfectly symmetrical since it's scan - I think what you're seeing is part of the STL, not a print defect.
Oh great, thanks! I thought I saw it in the STL but its hard to measure, I spent whole afternoon checking the calibrations of the printer but I couldn't find a fault...
m printing.Did you use camera or iphone to scan the armchair?How many pictures? Its really really cute and beautiful:)
iPhone - I think 30 pictures or so. Glad you like it!
It`s amazing!I used 123D catch,but not very useful.What software did u deal with it?
I cleaned the scan up in meshmixer - fixed holes, cut the bottom flat, did a little sculpting to fix a couple errors
Thank you for the model, realy great. But I had a problem with holes just between the armrests and the accent. I suppose it is becouse I use 10% of infill, what infill did you use?
You can also try increasing the solid surface value under fill in skein forge. I find that helpful for a lot of scans I've done.
Very nice model. Just made one on my Thing-O-Matic in black plastic. Looks like leather. :)

Bathroom Window Blinds & Shades
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

Starspots to Measure Small Differential Rotation Rates
On using photometric data from Kepler to study starspots, and to measure differential rotation rates.
On using photometric data from Kepler to study starspots, and to measure differential rotation rates.
Very low-mass M-dwarfs are a missing link in our theory of stellar interiors. Stars this small probably have fully convective interiors, but we don't have a complete understanding of how that affects global properties like radius or temperature. It's important to get right, if for no other reason because lots of exoplanets orbit M-dwarfs.
Heavy stars live like rock stars: they live fast, become big, and die young. Low mass stars, on the other hand, are more persistent, and live longer. Fusing hydrogen slow and steady wins the stellar age-race.
While the Sun is an excellent starting point in a quest to understand magnetism, the authors of today's paper want more. They take advantage of something only relatively cool stars can have in their atmospheres to study magnetic fields: molecules in starspots.
Could the properties of an M-dwarf that might make it inhospitable also give it transformative powers? Could the star's gravity and violence strip away a planet's thick atmosphere, or envelope, to reveal a habitable core?
Many exoplanets in our galaxy are all alone. They have no one to cuddle up to on those cold, lonely nights in space…

Asthma Health Center
Can Kids Outgrow Asthma?
The wheezing, the shortness of breath. Will it ever end?
Sometimes young children have asthma-like symptoms that disappear. What they have isn't asthma. It's a temporary condition that doesn't turn into the lung disease, says Joyce C. Rabbat, MD. She's an assistant professor at Loyola University Medical Center's Division of Allergy and Immunology. The wheezing is treated just like asthma, but it goes away by itself, usually by age 5 or 6.

The Athlete's Guide to Exercise-Induced Asthma
From weekend warriors to superstars, all types of athletes experience exercise-induced asthma. They include world-class competitors like NFL star Jerome "The Bus" Bettis and six-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Amy Van Dyken. But just what is exercise-induced asthma, why does it happen, and how can it be managed? WebMD consulted the experts to find out the answers to these questions, as well as tips for controlling symptoms of exercise-induced asthma -- whether you're a casual athlete or a s...
Read the The Athlete's Guide to Exercise-Induced Asthma article > >
Most kids who have symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath beyond that age are considered to have asthma, and they may always have it. But for about half of them, symptoms go away around adolescence.
It isn't clear why this happens, says Chitra Dinakar, MD, a pediatric allergist at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO. The triggers that once caused flares don't, she says, but the kid still has asthma.
The break in symptoms is more common among boys, children without sensitivity to furry animals, and kids with less severe asthma.
When Symptoms Fade
If a child is symptom-free for an extended period, it's called remission.
Your child may be nearing remission if she:
- Goes a longer time without symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath
- Is physically active without having flares or needing medicine
- Is exposed to common cold viruses and allergic triggers without having a flare or needing medication
- Needs less and less rescue medication to treat symptoms
There's always a chance of the symptoms coming back. Sometimes they reappear in adulthood, and they can be brought on by triggers different from before. In about half the kids whose symptoms decline during adolescence, they'll reappear when they hit their 30s or 40s, studies say.
If your child has the following, she's more likely to have persistent, lifelong asthma.
- A parent with asthma
- Eczema
- Sensitivity to airborne allergens (like pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, or molds or dust mites)
- Food allergies (milk, eggs, or peanuts)
- Wheezing when she doesn't have a cold
- A high count of a certain type of white blood cells
Smoking, weight gain, and other factors can also increase the chances of symptoms coming back.
Take Control
"Unfortunately we cannot alter the natural course of asthma, but we can get it under excellent control," Rabbat says. Help your child avoid or control the triggers that set off her asthma to help prevent flares.
Common triggers include:
- Pollen
- Pets
- Dust mites
- Pollution
- Tobacco smoke
- Temperature changes
- Allergies
Your child can lead a normal life with the help of an asthma plan created with your doctor and the right medication.

Comments: I like it. Most of the crit I had received on past maps was about the lack of space for the player to move, so I tried my best to fix that, and completely redone my old Route 401. There are a few one tile spaces, but, ah well. This is the first route, where you will encounter the evil team having an argument with the good team, and then after the evil team leave, the leader of the good team will show you how to catch a Pokemon, and give you Pokeballs. To the left there will be a grunt from the evil team, so you'll be forced to go forwards. Then, once you gain access to the left, there will be a few trainers, and then another route. Not much else to do in this route unless you like Hummingbirds, Squirrels, Dogs and Abra.

CQUni: Short Course Champs
CQUniversity prides itself on the quality of education it brings to the people of Central Queensland and the Gladstone campus is working with local industry to develop courses that are relevant locally. This has resulted in a number of 1,2 and 3 day programs that provide information and knowledge in a condensed and easy to understand format.
These short courses bring together experts in a field to ensure that the information provided is relevant and up-to-date.
With the selection of courses that we have available at a very reasonable cost there is a CQUniversity short course for everyone.
The presenters are local people recognised as experts in their field with support from internationally renowned researchers and presenters.
Letting go of holding on
With the old saying "the only thing constant is change" our personal and work lives are continually changing. The quality of our lives and the quality of our work has a great deal to do with our skills and abilities to channel energy towards embracing change and the opportunities it presents. This course is designed to give special attention to the belief that "personal change precedes organisational change" and if we are ever truly to see "change resilient organisations" we must first see " change resilient people". It will empower individuals to build personal skills in handling changes that occur in their personal and professional lives.
The presenter, Dr Pierre Viljoen has a passion for Organisational Development and has extensive experience in facilitating change workshops and assisting individuals and groups to work through the trials and tribulations of change. Head of the CQUniversity Gladstone Campus, he holds a PhD in Industrial Psychology and is registered organisational psychologist with the Psychologists Board of Queensland and a full member of the Australian Psychological Society.
Asset Management
Asset Management is a professional engineering field with increasing sophistication and complexity. Today's asset maintenance practitioners and maintenance managers have more to deal with than ever before.

Chuck Spinney: Saudi Arabia Funding of Islamic State
This is an informative and important report written by one of the best reporters covering events in the Middle East. I reformatted it slightly and highlighted it to emphasize points I think are important. If you find this distracting, this link will take readers to the original.
Iraq crisis: How Saudi Arabia helped Isis take over the north of the country
A speech by an ex-MI6 boss hints at a plan going back over a decade. In some areas, being Shia is akin to being a Jew in Nazi Germany
Patrick Cockburn, Independent, 13 July 2014
How far is Saudi Arabia complicit in the Isis takeover of much of northern Iraq, and is it stoking an escalating Sunni-Shia conflict across the Islamic world?
Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shia'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them."

"I am not a crook" (November 17, 1973)
In November of 1973, with his approval rating below
30 percent after his firing of special prosecutor Archi-
bald Cox and the discovery that two White House
tapes were missing, and with impeachment talk in the
air, Nixon gave an hour-long televised question-and-
answer session with four hundred Associated Press
managing editors. Tensely, he lied that he had had no
knowledge until the spring of 1973 of proposals to
blackmail the burglars and that he was not involved in
any cover-up, and he blamed the scandal on his not
having supervised his campaign more closely. He also
repeated a technique from the Checkers speech of
1952, right down to the detailed account of his assets
and liabilities: faced with specific allegations about his
finances in the context of his abuse of executive power,
he reframed the charges as accusations about his per-
sonal financial probity generally. When he said, "I am
not a crook," it was a reference to his self-exculpatory
claim that he had not enriched himself in office.
Let me just respond, if I could, sir, before going to your question—I will turn left and then come back to the right; I don't want to tilt either way at the

China's urbanization drive could fuel social unrest over land disputes and pose financial risks if money is thrown around recklessly, a senior communist party official and a leading economist said on Thursday.
Shifting people from the countryside to cities is a policy priority for China's new leaders as they seek to sustain economic growth that last year slowed to a 13-year low of 7.8 percent. The government hopes 60 percent of China's population of almost 1.4 billion will be urban residents by 2020.
China's new leaders are planning a system of national residence permits to replace the household registration or 'hukou' regime, a government source said, a vital reform that will boost its urbanization campaign and drive consumption-led growth.
The hukou system, which dates to 1958, has split China's 1.3 billion people along urban-rural lines, preventing many of the roughly 800 million Chinese who are registered as rural residents from settling in cities and enjoying basic urban welfare and services.
Mar. 12 - A shock wave through the entire economy, declining asset prices and peoples' savings wiped out. Gillem Tulloch talks to Tara Joseph about the 'when' not 'if' of China's property bubble bursting.

German Business Confidence May Gain for First Time in Six
German business confidence probably climbed for the first time in six months in September after the European Central Bank announced an unlimited bond-purchase program to stem the sovereign debt crisis.
The Ifo institute's business climate index, based on a survey of 7,000 executives, will rise to 102.5 from 102.3 in August, according to the median forecast of 37 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. That would be the first increase since March. Ifo releases the report at 10 a.m. in Munich today.
ECB President Mario Draghi on Sept. 6 unveiled details of plan to buy government bonds to fight speculation of a currency breakup and regain control of interest rates in the euro area. That's boosted financial markets and helped to ease concerns about the severity of the economic slowdown. German investor confidence gained for the first time in five months in September and gauges of activity in the manufacturing and service industries rose more than economists forecast.
"The recent developments in Europe have created a positive mood among businesses in Germany," said Thilo Heidrich, an economist at Deutsche Postbank AG in Bonn. "There is a feeling that progress has been made and that we've passed the low point. That gives hope for the months to come."
Ifo's measure of executives' expectations probably rose to 95 from 94.2, while a gauge of the current situation may have slipped to 111 from 111.2, the survey shows.
Slower Growth
Growth in Europe's largest economy slowed to 0.3 percent in the second quarter from 0.5 percent in the first as export demand from euro-area trading partners waned, prompting companies to postpone investments. Capital investment fell 0.9 percent in the second quarter, with spending on plant and machinery down 2.3 percent.
At least five of the 17 member countries of the euro area are in recession, including Spain and Italy. The European Commission forecasts a 0.3 percent economic contraction for the region as a whole this year.
The German economy will expand 0.6 percent this year compared with 3 percent last year, the Federal Labor Agency's IAB research institute said last week.
German carmaker Daimler AG said on Sept. 20 that operating profit at its Mercedes-Benz unit will fall this year, lowering a previous target of matching the 2011 figure. Porsche AG, another German automaker, plans to build fewer than the 155,000 cars and sport-utility vehicles originally planned for next year.
Outside Europe
Still, German exports to faster-growing markets outside Europe and domestic spending are helping to insulate the economy from the debt crisis.
Schaeffler AG, the roller-bearing maker that's the biggest shareholder in car-parts manufacturer Continental AG, said last month it's sticking to its forecasts for 2012 after demand from outside Europe helped second-quarter sales to rise.
"The order situation for German companies has been getting worse in the past months," said Ulrike Rondorf, an economist at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. "However, the risks coming from the debt crisis in Europe are smaller now and that's why there is kind of a mixed feeling among German businesses."

Eco Gadgets: BacVac fuel-cell powered vacuum cleaner for cable free cleaning
Eco Factor: Concept vacuum cleaner powered by ethanol fuel cells.
The rise in pollution doesn't only affect the outdoor air quality but has an ever greater impact indoors. Keeping the indoors clean does remain a priority for all health conscious homeowners, who have technology to their aid, which in most cases isn't as green as they would like. Product designers do show a way technology can go green without sacrificing its overall aesthetics. Here is another green product that helps you clean your indoors without polluting the outdoors even by a fraction.
The BacVac, as the product has been named, is a fuel-cell powered vacuum cleaner concept which can be worn just like a backpack. Having an onboard energy source keeps you away from the messy cables and allows you to clean anywhere without worrying about a power socket in its vicinity. Once it runs out of juice, all you need is some ethanol to top it up.

Its origin is unknown, no on knows why we pinned this one on swasilanders, but it rolls off the tongue nicely!

Every few years the commentariat becomes fixated on the great American conservative "crack-up." These bouts of panic tend to coincide with lame-duck presidencies and low poll numbers, but epidemics can break out at any time. When they do, conservatives holler (a la the Six Million Dollar Man), "We can't hold it, she's breaking up!" Liberals yell, "Whoopee!"
We're in just such a moment now. Every few weeks, a new book rolls out decrying George W. Bush's apostasy from the One True Faith (variously defined). Suddenly, conservative writers have found op-ed pages more welcoming as they lament the unraveling of this, the implosion of that, and the betrayal of the other thing.
Gleeful liberals and conservative Chicken Littles are misreading the data. Liberals, as is their wont, are letting their schadenfreude get the better of them. They see libertarians banging their spoons on their highchairs, Christian "zealots" pounding their Bibles, and Republican moderates shaking their New York Times with a harrumph over their whole-grain breakfasts, and gloat: "Aha, the conservative coalition is falling apart!" The trouble is that fighting like cats and dogs is what winning political coalitions do. There is a center-right political majority in American politics and there has been since Ronald Reagan. This "red-state coalition" would not exist if the electorate tilted left.
Bill Clinton, human weather vane that he was, understood this implicitly, which is why he campaigned as a free trader, welfare reformer, Sister Souljah critic, pro-death penalty Southern Democrat. His wife understands this too, which is why she keeps trying to move to Bush's right on immigration and the Iraq war.
Majority coalitions have big internal arguments for the same reason that pirates fight over buried treasure after they find it and not when they're still looking for it: They have something to fight over. They have to govern, which means pleasing some constituencies and infuriating others. The FDR coalition had segregationists and black freedom fighters, socialist Jews and western populists all working under the same big Democratic tent. With lots of infighting, this coalition lasted for two generations. The two Republicans who won the presidency during this era - Nixon and Eisenhower - were liberal Republicans who promised to do what the Democrats were doing, but more efficiently.

Anal warts, also known as condyloma, are growths found on the skin around the anus (rectal opening), in the anal canal, or in the lower rectum. Anal warts are caused by the human papilloma virus, which is usually transmitted through contact but not necessarily through anal. Warts are benign tumors of the epidermis. It is a relatively common and bothersome condition. Most individuals who have anal warts have between 1 to 10 of them. Anal warts first appear as tiny blemishes. They can be as small as the head of a pin but they can grow larger than the size of a pea. Usually, anal warts do not cause pain or discomfort. Sometimes, patients may be unaware that the warts are present. Young adults aged 17 to 33 years are at greatest risk.

Who knew an Abridged Series could have its sad moments?
- Nappa's remorse over killing his new pet on Planet Arlia, it's Played for Laughs, but it's clear he's torn up about it.
- Piccolo's death. Yeah, his final words were a Brick Joke, but Gohan's scream was pretty heartwrenching, considering Piccolo was his first real friend, there's two killer aliens coming after him and his dad still hasn't shown up.
- When Gohan expresses that he'll go to Namek as a responsibility to the deceased Piccolo, Chi-Chi expresses that he won't with Anger Born of Worry. Gohan's response?
- Guldo after being decapitated, he starts to ponder the meaning of his life then Vegeta throws another dog treat at him. It's hard not to feel sorry for him.
- Burter's death. It's preluded by him opening up about his insecurities regarding his usefulness to his team, and Jeice assuring him that Burter is "me best mate" for helping to move a piano into his flat in "no time at all", also reminiscing about Recoome and Guldo at the time. Just as they resolve to go off to have a good old time (a villainous equivalent of And the Adventure Continues), Mood Whiplash ensues when Goku immediately cuts their plans short. Fatally.
- Something else sad about this is Goku didn't even kill Burter, he just knocked him out...then Vegeta finished him off.
- Even worse, in the next episode, when Ginyu hears the report, it is Burter's death that hits him the hardest.
- And Burter's insecurity that he's only on the team for aesthetic reasons is later certified by Ginyu.
- Still, it's not all bad, as next time we see Jeice, Burter, Recoome and Guldo, they are together again in the afterlife, doing what they were doing in life.
- Gohan's Parental Abandonment issues.
Gohan: Think, what would my dad do?
Goku: [in Gohan's mind] Bye, son!
Gohan: I'm beginning to think I have issues.
- Freeza's beat-down of Vegeta.
Freeza: You see? It's just like I told you. Like a bitch.note
- And after Freeza kills him.
- This conversation just before Goku arrives and Freeza kills Vegeta out of spite.
Freeza: It seems our game is over, Vegeta. Now that we're done here, it's time to send you crying home to mommy.
Vegeta: My mother's dead.
Freeza: I know. note
- Goku's reaction to Vegeta's death:
Goku: C'mon, you deserve a proper burial.
Freeza: Ah, yes. A proper burial: an unmarked grave on an empty planet in the middle of Nowhere, Space. Honestly, I'd say it's too good for him.
Goku: I'll be sure to give Freezer one for you, best buddy. Goodbye.
- Which is followed by this.
- Just like in the source material, the Bad Future Trunks comes from. Especially Yamcha's fate. This fate is the above picture.
- Goku's reaction to Freeza killing Krillin. You can hear from the sound of his voice that Goku was trying to hold in his tears.
- Tien's reaction to Chaotzu's death. Great bit of acting from Ganxingba.
- Vegeta's treatment of Trunks in Episode 38 is quite sad to watch note :
Vegeta: I'm sorry but... I don't listen to bastards.
Piccolo: Gohan?
- Even Piccolo is appalled at it.
Gohan: Yes?
Piccolo: You're a good kid.
- Later:
Trunks: Oh come on, we both know I'm your son.
Vegeta: And are you as disappointed as I am?
Trunks: *growls*
- Even later, when Vegeta sees "the real Androids" that Trunks warned them about...
Vegeta: Wow, you're just the Grand Central Station of disappointment, aren't you?
Trunks: <upset> How are these people friends with you!?
- Immediately lampshaded by Tien who essentially tells Trunks that they aren't "friends" in any sense of the word. They pretty much just embody the whole enemy of my enemy is my friend idea, which in no way states that they have to like each other. The Z Warriors and Vegeta are like Vitriolic Best Buds minus the best buds bit.
- Vegeta's abuse towards Future Trunks does not lighten up either, as the moment Future Trunks tells Vegeta that he's not as strong as Goku to his face, Vegeta snaps and winds his own son.
- It all finally catches up to him once Android 18 breaks his arm.
- On another note, it's just sad that Trunks knows absolutely nothing about the man. His reaction to when Piccolo told him that Vegeta once tried to kill everyone is nothing short of horror and shock. It's possibly (and sadly) justified in that Vegeta has done nothing that would make one even want to tell his child(ren) about him. Hell, the best thing that the mother of his child could say about Vegeta to a young Trunks was "You share his gender." Ouch.
- Trunks apparently spent a year training with Vegeta in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber without receiving any positive reinforcement.
- Yamcha looking on while Goku is screaming in pain as he suffers from his bacon-induced heart attack, while the spoken dialogue is Played for Laughs you can tell he's real worried about him, probably the only one of the gang that Yamcha can consider a friend.
- The thought of having to just stand there watching your friend suffer due to an extremely painful condition, knowing full well there's not a damned thing you can do about it can evoke tears...
- On a similar note, the two instances when a giant enemy is torturing a helpless Goku, first Ozaru Vegeta, then Giant Lord Slug, by squeezing him so hard it makes his lungs squeak like a dog toy. It's played for laughs, but Goku's pained screams aren't, and you can tell he's hurting horribly.
- And now TFS has a Do you Want to Build a Snowman parody, only replace "we're orphans now and only have each other" with "we're an endangered species and homeless now and only have each other". And a few years after Nappa says this, Raditz dies and Vegeta murders him.
- There's also the fact that Nappa doesn't remember Raditz's name during the song. Raditz actually was stronger than Goku at that point, but Nappa only remembered the latter's name.
- Kami's revelation about why he's putting off assimilating with Piccolo, bringing up a lot of Fridge Horror about Kami's existence in the process:
Piccolo: But if you don't fuse with me, the entire world you're guarding might be destroyed!
Kami: Maybe I'd rather it be destroyed, then ever have to be part of you again!
Nail: Mom? Dad? Please stop fighting.
Kami: Listen, Piccolo. I've been the guardian for over three hundred years. I've seen wars, sickness, death, and far worse. All the while trapped on this lookout. Unable to interact with the outside world for more than moments at a time. Now the only chance I have left is to give up my free will to someone else. It's just another prison.
Piccolo: ...Wow I... I didn't-
Kami: It's fine. I'm done anyway. You're right: If I don't do this now, we are likely to lose everything.
- The musicNote during Kami's monologue really drives home the melancholy, too. All in all it is a surprisingly heartfelt scene.
- Cooler, despite his snark and wit, is just a member of Frieza's race that got screwed out of a good childhood. His utter disdain for his brother, this line, and his death (which has both a heartbreaking score and death scream) cement this.
"See? This is the difference. My brother would have stood around postulating and claiming his victory, like some haughty greenhorn child. I know what it takes to get the job done, WHICH IS WHY FATHER SHOULD HAVE-"
- Even though it looked like he didn't care before, Mr. Popo now REALLY isn't himself after Kami fused with Piccolo. He even sees a vision of him after Goku asks what gives.
- Piccolo's situation in Episode 45. After fusing with Kami and essentially taking his role as Guardian of the Earth, Cell appears and starts killing entire cities. And, despite the power boost, Piccolo can't do anything to stop him.
Piccolo: I get it! He's absorbing people! I'm trying to stop it!
- Bonus points when you think about Kami's reservations about holding off on fusing with Piccolo.
- Android 16 on the drive through the forest:
16: I personally enjoy this alternate route. It is dense with foliage, and wildlife, and—
(18 blows the forest away)
16: And spending time with you. But clearly you disagree.
- The 2014 Halloween special. In Krillin's dream, Cell brings up how Krillin never feels he can measure up compared to his friends. Likely, that's how he feels every time he fights evil with the others.
- The History of Trunks is looking to be one big episode of this, even the trailer shows this, with somber music and no hint of comedy. The guys even had to take to the comment sections to assert that there would be funniness in it.
Gohan: You know if you think I'm rough you should have trained with Mr. Piccolo.Trunks: You really looked up to him didn't you?Gohan: Yeah! He was like the father I never had.
- Android 17 actually undergoes a Heel Realization when he comes to the conclusion that all the death and destruction he's caused has been meaningless and how his true dream is to become a Park Ranger. Then Gohan sneak attacks 17 and he decides to reject his epiphany.
- Trunks' reaction to Gohan's death and Trunks' first time turning Super Saiyan. After Trunks regains consciousness, he immediately realized that Gohan attempted to face the Cyborgs alone with the only words being "Oh no...". Then afterwards, in an Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene-variety, he finds Gohan dead, and lets out a Skyward Scream, just like in the original Japanese version of the Special. Kaiser's performance throughout the whole scene is just heart-rending and one can imagine how his voice was after that scream.
- Chichi's smothering nature was always played for laughs at best or to make her look like a Flat Earth Atheist Jerkass at worst. Then you see how she's turned out in a future where any hope she had for Gohan is long gone, and her methods caused him to never visit.
- The deterioration of Gohan's relationship with Goku to the point he considers Piccolo the father he never had.
Vegeta: (Attacking Gohan viciously) So what?! You think having a dad as a Super Saiyan makes you better than me?!
- Gohan's death is this. Ready to make one final stand against the Androids... and he loses. We don't even get to see the fight in sequential order, though we do get flashes of it during Trunks' transformation scene.
Gohan: No! This isn't where my story ends!Trunks: This is where Gohan's story ends.
- Easily the worst part is how Trunks says that. Usually, you'd expect somebody to sound choked up or saddened when they say somebody's dead. Trunks just says it so matter-of-factly...
- Immediately before this scene, as Gohan is talking to Trunks about using the pain of loss to go Super Saiyan, the music playing is "Brooks Was Here".
- The opening has a montage of the various remaining Z-Warriors getting killed by the Androids. Except Yamcha. Just like Trunks said, Yamcha learned Bulma was pregnant with Vegeta's child, and as a result, hanged himself. "Dark", indeed.
- It becomes very clear that Future Gohan never had a real childhood, starting with his father dying for the first time when he was four and quickly going to hell from there. The human race's approaching demise began when he was nine, which apparently pushed him past his breaking point, to the point he seems to imagine Piccolo's voice in his head.
- The worst part is until Goku's death everything was the same as the Main Gohan...
- Minor one that (oddly) doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny, and pretty much solidifies Vegeta's Inferiority Superiority Complex:
Child Gohan: (Barely able to answer) No!
Vegeta: (Still attacking) Wrong answer!
Adult Gohan: ...He had a lot to prove.
- Piccolo's horrified reaction in Episode 47 when he realizes that Cell has possibly murdered thousands more people just to become stronger.
Piccolo: How? How many people?Cell: Enough.
- The Androids seem to really care for each other when Cell shows up, with 16 telling 17 and 18 to run and them refusing because they want to stick together. They even all talk about pulling a HeelFace Turn together and giving up the world destruction shtick... and then Cell eats 17 whole. All 16 can do is glare in rage, and 18 is stunned beyond words.
- Krillin's comment after Bulma leaves him with 18's self-destruct remote:
Krillin: This uh, this remote's a lot heavier than I expected...
- It's hard to tell if he means that literally, figuratively, or both. Case 1: The remote is the bomb; Bulma is willing to let Krillin die for them. Case 2: Krillin feels the symbolic weight of what he's about to do. Case 3: Both. Any way you slice it, it's sad.
- When Tien shows up and gives 18 and 16 a window to escape, this little exchange occurs:
- 18: Come on 16, we have to go!
16: Where is 17?
18: He's gone, buddy.
16: That is sad. I am sad.
18: We both are.
- After Trunks comes out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, we're reminded that he had no-one but Vegeta to talk to:
Goku: Hey Trunks! Wow, neat hair!Trunks: (Inner monologue) Oh my God. First piece of positive reinforcement in over a year. Respond appropriately...
- Yamcha and Chiaotzu's concern over Tien using the Kikoho knowing that he will likely die if he continues using it.
- The fact that Cell ended up destroying several islands filled with people who showed genuine concern for his supposed relationship issues.
- From that same episode, Gohan has some...reservations about being alone with his father for an entire year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. It's starting to become clear that he losing his respect for his old man.
Gohan: (disgusted sigh) I need an adult...
Goku: I am an a—
Gohan: No. No, you're not.
- From that same episode, Gohan has some...reservations about being alone with his father for an entire year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. It's starting to become clear that he losing his respect for his old man.
- In Super Android 13, Goten is erased from the future when Goku suffers a Groin Attack. This is, however, shown to be fixed by the end.
Goku: Yep! Senzu beans healed m'nuts up good!
- Even worse, his own brother doesn't even remember him instants after he's gone
- Also in Super Android 13, Android 14's last words: "By metal, my life was given. By metal, it was stripped away. No dreams before, nor after. Only the end."
- Made worse by the fact nobody who could hear him understood him.
- Also also in Super Android 13, Android 15's words Before his fight with Super Saiyan Vegeta are to the rest of his generic alcohol, responding to Vegetas reaction ("Does that even do anything for you?") with "...not anymore."
- Krillin's internal rant in episode 51. Long story short, he's within range to detonate #18's internal bomb but can't bring himself to do it. It's made worse when his attempt to steel himself ends up making him realize something important.
Krillin: Oh come on Krillin! Be strong for one second in your worthless life, AND PUSH THE STUPID BUTTON. IF YOU DON'T EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND LOVE IS GOING TO DIE, INCLUDING HER! ...oh.
- The fact that he was thinking about how he wouldn't be able to wish her back and that small sad "oh." as he drops the detonator is just heartrending. Good thing fans of Dragon Ball know how #18 and Krillin's relationship ends up.
- Just to make it even worse, his long-running habit of being effortlessly swatted aside by the Big Bad (with corresponding "Krillin Owned Count" increases) decidedly stops being funny when it becomes apparent just how desperate he is to save 18, as he gets up again and again after Cell knocks him away despite knowing he cant do anything to stop him. Poor guy gives it his all and ends up losing 18 anyway
- The usage of Lapis Lazuli's music adds to it. note
- Android 18's absorption by Cell is played out as a very tragic situation, with Krillin and Android 16 both sounding absolutely shattered when they realize that they can't save her. Not helping things is how 18 and Krillin are shown genuinely coming to care for each other before it occurs, with 18 even imploring 16 to keep Krillin safe.
- How she gets absorbed compared to the original series also counts. Whereas there she was defiant to the end, here she instead... rushes headlong to him before being absorbed offscreen with a final shout. If it weren't for the fact that the androids aren't quite dead after being absorbed, 18 would have more-or-less killed herself.
- It could also be seen as her taking one last swing at Cell, knowing damn well that it won't do a thing. She can't run, he'll catch her. She can't fly away, he'll catch her. So she just tries to land even one punch before...
- Also Android 16's voice became decidedly shaky and emotional when he "CONFIRMED" 18's last request to look after Krillin. As much of a Comically Serious and extremely robotic robot he is, even he is distraught at losing his "sister"
- How she gets absorbed compared to the original series also counts. Whereas there she was defiant to the end, here she instead... rushes headlong to him before being absorbed offscreen with a final shout. If it weren't for the fact that the androids aren't quite dead after being absorbed, 18 would have more-or-less killed herself.
- Tien's reaction to Krillin destroying the remote. Before that, he made a bet with Piccolo for either Vegeta or Krillin screwing up their tasks. Tien betted on it being Vegeta, admitting that even though while Krillin may be a "total bitch", he always steps up when needed. Next, he's not only ranting about Krillin risking the earth for sex, but also how he made his own Hold the Line moment against Cell pointless.
Tien: He really did it. He actually risked every life on the planet just for... for Cyber sex! I didn't Kikoho myself half to death so he could get laid!
- In relation with the above. Trunks has a total mental break down when he realizes that Krillin has destroyed the remote to self-destruct 18, and by extension destroyed their hope of stopping Cell from reaching his perfect form; which he eventually does. Trunks, the poor guy can only form thoughts that amount up to complete gibberish; all coming to a head when he yells out in rage.
- Krillin's nonchalant noticing of Trunks doesn't help...especially since it pretty much pissed away all the goodwill he built up with Trunks in destroying Gero's lab, including fetal Cell.

best Moriarty ever!
Woah, I love your Moriarty so much!! Probably the best I have seen, it's a little uncanny how much you look like him xD
I absolutely love your Moriarty!!! You're one of the best ones I've seen

Can I ask what wig you got, and how did you make the facial hair.
Amazing cosplay

Hello! I used a lace front from ebay, but it wasn't a very good one. I use my real hair now, but if you need to get a wig I'd suggest getting the Caddy from Arda-Wigs. Their wigs are pretty thick, so you'd probably need to thin it and style it appropriately.
Hope that helps! If you need anything else, feel free to ask! : )

Why thank you! I bought it from a suit store in the mall, they were having a sale so it wasn't to expensive.
