January 23rd, 2013
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Not to be overshadowed by Pi Day, pies are a windowsill staple well-deserving of their own day. January 23 is National Pie Day.
We're rolling out a few tips and tricks to get you started in today's pie-making endeavors:
– If the edges of your pie crust start to burn, cover them with foil. This will protect them from over-browning while the filling of the pie continues to bake.
– Try not to add too much additional flour when rolling out the dough. The more flour you add during this process, the tougher the dough will be. A pastry cloth can help absorb extra flour and prevent stickiness, and is available at most grocery and kitchen supply stores.
– Don't throw away your pie crust scraps, they make excellent pie toppers, as well as cookies. For the latter, sprinkle them with sugar and bake them off until they're golden brown and crisp. You can also top them with savory ingredients like grated cheese.
– Let the pie cool before you cut into it. Yes, it's a Herculean task, but letting it cool first will allow the pie's juices to finish setting.

A common cold is a viral infection of your baby's nose and throat. Nasal congestion and a runny nose are the primary signs of common cold in babies.
Babies are especially susceptible to the common cold, in part because they're often around other older children who don't always wash their hands. Also, they have yet to develop immunity to many common infections. Within the first year of life, most babies have up to seven colds.
Treatment for the common cold in babies involves easing their symptoms, such as by providing plenty of fluids and keeping the air moist. Very young infants must see a doctor at the first sign of the common cold because they're at greater risk of croup and pneumonia.
The first indication of the common cold in a baby is often:
Other signs of a common cold may include:
Your baby's immune system will need time to mature. If your baby has a cold with no complications, it should resolve within 10 to 14 days.
If your baby is younger than 2 to 3 months of age, call the doctor early in the illness. For newborns, a common cold can quickly develop into croup, pneumonia or another serious illness. Even without such complications, a stuffy nose can make it difficult for your baby to nurse or drink from a bottle. This can lead to dehydration. As your baby gets older, your doctor can guide you on when your baby needs to be seen by a doctor and when you can treat his or her cold at home.
Most colds are simply a nuisance. But it's important to take your baby's signs and symptoms seriously.
If your baby is 3 months old or older, call the doctor if he or she:
Seek medical help immediately if your baby:
The common cold is an infection of the nose and throat (upper respiratory tract infection) that can be caused by one of more than 100 viruses. The rhinovirus and coronavirus are common culprits and are highly contagious.
Once your baby has been infected by a virus, he or she generally becomes immune to that specific virus. But because there are so many viruses that cause colds, your baby may have several colds a year and many throughout his or her lifetime. Also, there are some viruses that don't produce lasting immunity.
A common cold virus enters your baby's body through his or her mouth or nose. Your baby may be infected with such a virus by:
A few factors put infants at higher risk of common colds.
You're likely to start by seeing your baby's pediatrician or family doctor. Here's some information to help you get ready for your baby's appointment and know what to expect from your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time with your baby's doctor. For a common cold, some basic questions to ask the doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you have.
Your baby's doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
What you can do in the meantime
While you wait for your baby's appointment, you can take steps to help make him or her more comfortable. These include moistening the air in your home and using saline and a suction bulb to remove mucus from your child's nose.
Unfortunately, there's no cure for the common cold. Antibiotics don't work against cold viruses. The best you can do is take steps at home to try to make your baby more comfortable, such as suctioning mucus from his or her nose and keeping the air moist. Call the doctor early in the illness if your baby is younger than 3 months old.
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications should generally be avoided in infants. Fever-reducing medications may be safely used — carefully following dosing directions — if fever is making your child uncomfortable. Cough and cold medications are not safe for infants and young children.
OTC pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) may help relieve discomfort associated with a fever. Don't give acetaminophen to children under 3 months of age, and be especially careful when giving acetaminophen to older babies and children because the dosing guidelines can be confusing. Call your doctor if you have any questions about the right dosage for your baby.
Ibuprofen (Children's Motrin, Advil, others) also is OK, but only if your child is 6 months old or older.
Do not give these medications to your baby if he or she is dehydrated or vomiting continuously.
Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 2, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. This is because aspirin has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, in such children. Since many viral illnesses look alike at the beginning, it is better to avoid aspirin use in children.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strongly recommends against giving over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines to children younger than age 2. OTC cough and cold medicines don't treat the underlying cause of a child's cold and won't make it go away sooner. These medications also have potential side effects, including rapid heart rate and convulsions.
In June 2008, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association voluntarily modified consumer product labels on OTC cough and cold medicines to state "do not use" in children under 4 years of age, and many companies have stopped manufacturing these products for young children.
Most of the time, you can treat an older baby's cold at home. Consider these suggestions:
The common cold typically spreads through infected respiratory droplets coughed or sneezed into the air. The best defense? Common sense and plenty of soap and water.
Simple preventive measures can go a long way toward keeping the common cold at bay.

That's a stunning world map. I like the colour scheme a lot.
Also, let me be te first to welcome you over here
Hi everyone!
This is my first post around here. I've been making maps for quite some time, but this one is my first digital map. I made it for personal use and it depicts the campaign world 'Creation' featured in White Wolf's Exalted RPG. I used the first edition map as a guideline for the lineart, but have since added features from many sources from the line.
My theme was simply to use a neutral palette and to not have any color "killing" the map. The text for cities and other features had to be kept very small since this map is showing off a huge place. The map itself is made with Photoshop CS.
I hope you like it.

Thanks Torstan! This is a cool site. I can't understand how I failed to notice the site all this time.
Welcome to the Guild, Zardan! Your map is a thing of beauty, lovely sharp, crisp lines. I particularly like the desert texture and the palette you've used. Please post more!
p.s. Your paintings on your DevArt site are fantastic!!

It was a second day of big name casualties in Birmingham, with Denmark's Boe and Mogensen being the biggest scalp of the day. Liu and Qiu claimed one of just eight Chinese victories in their win over the Danes as they stranglehold on world badminton is as loose as ever in recent memory.
Lee Chong Wei Into Last 8
Lee Chong Wei's spectacular 2013 continued with a two-game victory over Wang Zhengming, his 11th win of the year without a loss to date. Vietnam's Tien Minh Nguyen will be the Malaysian's opponent in the last 8, with the previous seven encounters going to the world number 1, all in two games. Jan O Jorgensen is Europe's last hope of any success in the competition and benefitted from Sony Dwi Kuncoro's retirement in their match to set up a quarter final against Chen Jin of China, who defeated another Chinese player, Chen Yuekun on route to the last 8.
Chen Long takes on India's Kashyap Parupalli in the quarter final after he defeated Kenichi Tago in his second round clash whilst Chen Long beat Japan's Takuma Ueda to book his place in the last 8.
Baun Reaches Last 8
Li Han provided an ample test for Tine Baun in their second round clash, but the 25-year old Chinese player was no match for Tine Baun, in her final All England Championships. Her half of the draw has opened up with the Chinese seeds already out, with Wang Yihan's conquerer waiting in the quarter final stage. Sung Ji Hyun is the only other remaining seed in the top half, with the 5th seed taking on Eriko Hirose of Japan in the second of the quarter finals.
A lawyer in virginia winning viagra lawsuits full compliment of seeds in the bottom half means two excellent encounters, with Wang Shixian taking on Saina Nehwal and Racthanok Intanon taking on Juliane Schenk for two places in the semi finals. Nehwal has beaten Wang Shixian in their previous three encounters whilst it will be the 7th meeting between Schenk and Intanon, with their most famous encounter coming at the 2012 Olympics that the Thai player won in two games.
Seeds Topple In Doubles
Just three seeds remain in the men's doubles, with Endo and Hayakawa being the highest seeds left. The 4th seeded Japanese pair take on the 6th seeded Kim and Kim to ensure another seed falls before the last 4. Ahsan and Setiawan are the sole seeds left in the top half of the draw and take on Hoon and Tan of Malaysia for a place in the last 4.
Even the women's doubles has had it's share of seeds crash out, the 4th seeded Eom and Jang being the latest pair to crash out at the hands of Hoo and Woon of Malaysia. Wang and Yu take on Jung and Kim in the featured match of the four quarter finals and have played once since their Olympic farce, with the Chinese pair winning in two games.
Chan and Goh's were the biggest casualty of the mixed doubles draw today, losing to Indonesia's Kurniawan and Irawati who are rewarded with a quarter final match against the current Olympic champions Zhang and Zhao of China. Xu and Ma also reached the last 8, with an all-Chinese semi final looming should they defeat Rijal and Susanto as well as Zhang and Zhao winning their quarter final clash.
Day 2 Results:
The first full day of play begun in Birmingham with the organisers hoping not to repeat the farcical start to the 2012 tournament. Play begun at 9am on Wednesday and mercifully ended on Wednesday, albeit well after 11pm but the first day of this years edition of the All England will be remembered for the amount of seeds crashing out on the opening day of play.
Seeds Tested in Men's Singles
Kenichi Tago was the sole seed that progressed into the second round without the loss of a game, defeating Viktor Axelsen in his opening round match. Hu Yun and Du Pengyu were the big name casualties of the first round, with Lee Chong Wei, Chen Long, Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Chen Jin and Tien Minh Nguyen all needing three games to progress to the last 16.
Lee Chong Wei takes on Wang Zhengming in the pick of the second round matches, with Chen Long also likely to be tested against Takuma Ueda of Japan. Jan O Jorgensen flys the flag for Europe and takes on Sony Dwi Kuncoro in a miserable day for European badminton, with just six wins coming in 29 matches over the course of the opening days play.
Chinese Misery In Women's Singles
There is usually five to seven Chinese players left in the draw at the last 16 stage, but this week just three remain. Li Han takes on Tine Baun whilst the other two Chinese players, Wang Shixian and Jiang Yanjiao play against one another in the second round. The major shocks in the competition come at the expense of China with Olympic champion Li Xuerui losing in two games to Bae Yeon Ju whilst the third seeded Wang Yihan lost to Indonesia's Lindaweri Fanetri, also in two games.
Both Saina Nehwal and Wang Shixian needed three games to ensure their passage into the second round but there was no such trouble for the European seeds. Juliane Schenk set up a tough second round match against P.V. Sindhu and Tine Baun's future in the All England and her career will be tested to the full by Li Han of China.
Lee/Ko Crash Out
A pre-match withdrawal from Cai and Cialis Fu weakened the event but the shock loss of Lee and Ko to Germany's Kindervater and Schoettler was perhaps the biggest positive from a European standpoint on the day. The loss of Cai and Fu as well as Lee and Ko has made the top half of the men's doubles draw all the easier for the top seeded Boe and Mogensen, who take on China's Liu and Qiu in tomorrow's second round.
Moren and Szkudlarczyk provided their own shock in the bottom half, with a three game victory over the 5th seeded Hong and Shen to ensure there would not be a full compliment of seeds in the bottom half of the draw. Koo and Tan defeated Ellis and Adcock to end English hopes in the competition, with Robert Blair partnering Tan Bin Shen who take on the 4th seeded Endo and Hayakawa in the second round.
Asian Dominance In Women's Doubles
The second seeded Danish pair of Pedersen and Rytter Juhl crashed out to Bao and Tian in the opening round, ending any hope of a European threat in the women's doubles. Wang and Yu progressed safely into the second round, joined there by Ma and Tang as well as Cheng and Zhao. Zhao and Tian were previously partners but will play against one another for the first time in their new partnerships in the second round tomorrow.
The sixteen remaining pairs all hail from Asia, with all four European pairs crashing out in the first round. Jenny Wallwork's retirement in the days leading up to the All England surprised many and asks the question about how far her and partner Alex Langley would have gone in the event this year.
Danish Disaster In Mixed Doubles
Christinna Pedersen's opening day ended in disaster as her and partner Joachim Fischer Neilsen were the only seeds not the progress into the last 16, beaten by the Indonesian pair of Kido and Bernadeth. Xu and Ma defeated Adcock and White to set-up an all-Chinese second round match against Qiu and Bao. Zhang and Zhao made light work of another Danish pair, Pieler Kolding and Rytter Juhl to reach the last 16.
Day 1 Results:
Four titles were a possibility for China on finals day, but managed just half that tally as the host nation took down higher seeds to ensure two titles for the host nation whilst Lee Chong Wei ensured a title for Malaysia in the men's singles.
Lee Chong Wei started 2013 perfectly with a two game victory over China's Du Pengyu, with the Malaysian failing to drop a game after his opening round scare to Wang Zhengming and will go into his home Super Series event on a high. Sung Ji Hyun claimed Korea's only singles title with a two game victory over the 5th seeded Wang Shixian to avenge her 2010 defeat in this event to the Chinese player.
Lee and Ko defeated Boe and Mogensen in the buy valium without prescription men's doubles final, but not before losing the opening game 21-19 but a far dominant display from the Korean's in the next two games ensured Lee and Ko's meteoric rise up the rankings continued. Wang and Yu defeated Ma and Tang in the first final of the day in a straightforward two game match for the 2011 World Champions first title of 2013.
Ma Jin fell short in the mixed doubles final also, losing with her partner Xu Chen to the world and Olympic champions Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei. The top seeded pair did take the opening game but failed to capitalise and lost the next two games to ensure a 12th defeat to Zhang and Zhao in their 14 encounters to date.
Finals Day Results:
Even with all the Chinese withdrawals that have marred the week's play, they still have a chance at four of the five titles in Seoul. Only the men's doubles will not feature a Chinese pair but instead have Korean and Danish interest in tomorrow's final. Lee Yong Dae will look to go one better than last year after suffering defeat to Cai and Fu in the 2012 final.
Lee Chong Wei has rarely been troubled on route to the final and Wong Wing Ki did little to challenge the top seed in a one-sided semi final. Du Pengyu will be the Malaysian's opponent in the first Super Series final of 2013 after his two game victory over Sony Dwi Kuncoro, who returned to the top 10 in the world rankings this week.
Wang Shixian will be the sole Chinese player in a women's singles final as she looks to defend her title against Korea's Sung Ji Hyun in a rematch of the 2010 final that the Chinese player won in two games. It is Wang Shixian's fourth consecutive final in Korea and has won two of her three finals to date HGH.
The world number 1 pairing of Boe and Mogensen takes on the form pair in Lee and Ko in the men's doubles final. They have met once previously in China at the last Premier event of 2012, which the Danish pair won in two games. Only the Danes have dropped a game this week, in their semi final victory over Hong and Shen whilst Lee and Ko defeated the second seeded Koo and Tan to reach the final.
The women's and mixed doubles final will be all-Chinese affairs, both featuring Ma Jin. Ma and Tang take on the top seeded Wang and Yu after their three game victory over Pedersen and Rytter Juhl, seeded 2nd this week. It was their second win against a higher seeded pair after their victory over Matsutomo and Takahashi in the quarterfinals. The top seeded Xu and Ma take on Zhang and Zhao as they renew their rivalry that begun at this event two years ago. It will be their 14th meeting, with Xu and Ma failing to any matchups in 2012 and winning just 2 of the previous 13 encounters.
Semi Final Results:
20 matches were scheduled for Friday, but only 19 took place as the all-Chinese match between the top seeded Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang and the 6th seeded Zhao Yunlei and Cheng Shu resulted in a wakover victory for the top seeds. Another asterisk will put next to another victory between two Chinese pairs.
Lee Chong Wei successfully reached the last 4 with a two game victory over Hu Yun and takes on Wong Wing Ki in the first of the semi finals. Sony Dwi Kuncoro has been having a renaissance in the past few months and continues his excellent form with a victory over Takuma Ueda to reach the last 4. His opponent in the semi final will be Du Pengyu of China, with the Indonesian holding a 3-1 advantage in their head to head, defeating the Chinese player in their most recent matchup in China just 2 months ago.
Saina Nehwal was the latest big name casualty in the women's singles, losing to China's Li Han in three games as the world number 26 continues her incredible rise up the world rankings. Sung Ji Hyun will be her opponent in the semi finals, with the world number 7 being Korea's last chance of a singles title in Seoul this year. The second semi final will also be a tightly contested match between te enigmatic Wang Shixian and the future of Japanese badminton, Minatsu Mitani. Mitani has rised to world number 10 and defeated Wang Shixian in the last meeting in China in September but a victory for the 5th seed would edge her back closer towards the top 4 in the world rankings.
Lee and Ko safely progressed into the semi finals as they look for their second title of their new partnership. They xanax or prozac take on Koo and Tan in the semi finals, who defeated the Korean pair on their Super Series debut in Denmark last year. Since then Lee and Ko have avenged that defeat and broke into the top 10 of the world rankings. Top seeded Boe and Mogensen take on the 7th seeded Hong and Shen in the second semi final, with the Danes holding a 2-1 head to head lead against the Chinese pair but their only victory came at this event 12 months ago.
Jung and Kim ended any possibility of an all-Chinese semi final with a victory over Bao and Tian to set up a semi final against Wang and Yu. It will the first time since their Olympic farce that these two pairs will be against one another. Ma and Tang ensure there is still a possibility of an all-Chinese final in the event, but they will take on the 2nd seeded Danish pair of Pedersen and Rytter Juhl in their semi final but the Chinese pair hold the advantage in their head to head, winning their only matchup to date at the French Open last year.
Ma Jin and Christinna Pedersen are the last two players left this week capable of taking two titles and in the mixed doubles they are on separate sides of the draw. Ma and Xu take on the 5th seeded Prapakamol and Thoungthongkam in the first semi final with the Chinese pair winning all 4 of their matchups so far. Olympic champions Zhang and Zhao take on the Danish pair of Fischer Neilsen and Pedersen with the 6th seeds claiming two victories at the Super Series finals at the end of 2012 to take a 6-4 advantage in their head to head.
Day 3 Results:
The Chinese tomfoolery overshadowed day 1, but a full day of excellent play delighted the Seoul crowd on the second day with plenty to cheer about for the Koreans. The European contingent was dramatically cut going into the later stages, with surprise losses for some of the biggest names in European badminton.
Three pretenders to Gade's throne were all dispatched on the second day, with Zwiebler losing to Lee Chong Wei in two games whilst Viktor Axelsen lost to Hong Kong's Wong Wing Ki. Jan O Jorgensen's defeat was the most surprising as he lost out to Russia's Vladimir Ivanov in two games to set up a quarter final against Du Pengyu of China. The 4th seed is the only seed remaining in the bottom half of the draw and the last Chinese player in the event after Guo Huan's loss to Chong Wei Feng.
It is a similar story in the women's singles, with the usual Chinese domination of the event missing with just two players left in the last 8. Wang Shixian has failed to drop a game to date but faces her toughest task yet against Korea's Bae Yeon Ju in the quarter finals. Li Han takes on Saina Nehwal, with the Indian taking over as the highest seed left in the draw with Wang Yihan's and Li Xuerui's retirement on day 1. Minatsu Mitani and Nichaon Jindapon ended the European run in the event with Mitani defeating Tine Baun in three tight games whilst Jindapon disposed of Juliane Schenk in two convincing games.
The Japanese threat in the bottom half of the men's doubles ended abruptly on day 2 with both HGH seeded pairs crashing out. Endo and Hayakawa, seeded 4 lost to Goh and Lim of Malaysia in two games to set up a quarter final against Lee and Ko of Korea whilst Liu and Qiu ended the end of Hashimoto and Hirata, beating the 8th seeds in two games. The top seeded Boe and Mogensen are safely through to the last 8 and take on Korea's Kim and Kim in the last 8 clash.
The Chinese has dominated the women's doubles in recent years and Korea in 2013 this is no different. All 8 seeds progressed into the latter stages, with four of the 8 coming from China. Wang and Yu take on Cheng and Zhao in undoubtedly will be one of the matches of the day, in the same side of the draw Bao and Tian takes on Korea's big hope in Jung and Kim. Ma and Tang take on the 3rd seed Matsumoto and Takahashi in the bottom side of the draw.
Ma Jin is also safely into the last 8 of the mixed doubles with partner Xu Chen and take on the new English partnership of Adcock and White who defeated the European champions Mateusiak and Zieba in their second round clash. Zhang and Zhao needed three games to dispose of the Russian pairing of Durkin and Vislova and set up a quarter final against Kim and Jung of Korea. Fischer Nielsen and Pedersen take on the 2nd seeded Ahmad and Natsir in the pick of the matches at the quarter final stage, with the Indonesian pair dropping just 37 points on route to the last 8.
Day 2 Results:
A new year brings a new start for the worlds best in Seoul but a Chinese cloud overshadowed the opening day with withdrawals and shock exits. Li Xuerui, Chen Long and the Olympic champions Cai and Fu all withdrew in the opening game of their matches, thus avoiding a fine or disqualification for "not playing with their best efforts". Li Xuerui came into the tournament with an injury already and an opening round retirement meant that the Olympic champion would avoid a fine.
Lee Chong Wei avoided an early scare to defeat Wang Zhengming and will take on Marc Zwiebler in the last 16 tomorrow. There was more European success with Jan O Jorgensen defeating the 5th seeded Kenichi Tago in two games and will be joined in the last 16 by Viktor Axelsen also. Vladimir Ivanov completes the European group in the last 16 and takes on Jorgensen for a place in the quarterfinals. Chen Jin's defeat to Gao Huan in three games was one of the big surprises of the opening round and Du Pengyu's victory ensures just two Chinese players into the last 16 of a Super Series Premier for the first time in recent memory.
Li Xuerui's retirement in her opening round game gifted Porntip Buranaprasertsuk her route into the last 16 and opened up the entire event. Saina Nehwal will be the biggest beneficiary of Li Xuerui's retirement as the Indian becomes the top seed in the top half of the women's singles draw. Jiang Yanjiao and Li Han ensure her route into the latter stages is far from easy whilst Wang Shixian ensures a Chinese presence in the bottom half of the draw also. European interests will fall onto Tine Baun and Juliane Schenk as has become custom in the Super Series, with the 4th and 8th seeds progressing without much resistance. The biggest surprise was Wang Yihan's retirement leading 19-8 in the second game, after the second seed lost the opening game.
Lee and Ko will be the crowd favourite in does viagra work better thaqn cialis for men with hypothyroidism the men's doubles and their opening round victory over Blair and Tan ensures another day of capacity crowds in Seoul. Boe and Mogensen's victory sets up an all-European second round match against Kindervater and Schoettler. Koo and Tan, seeded 2nd will take on another Malaysian pair in their second round in Ong and Gan but have a pair of Japanese threats waiting in the later rounds. Endo and Hayakawa as well as Hirata and Hashimoto recorded opening round victories in the same half of the draw and with Lee and Ko also in this side of the draw, this could be the most competitive event of the week.
Wang and Yu began 2013 with a routine victory over Korea's Lee and Ko with Zhao Yunlei and new partner Cheng Shu being a potential quarter final opponent. Tian Qing and her new partner Bao Yixin also progressed in the top half of the women's doubles with a straightforward two game victory. Only Ma and Tang will represent China in the bottom half and the top seed in this half of the draw, Pedersen and Rytter Juhl survived a three-game match against Bernadeth and Pradipta of Indonesia to eventually book their place in the last 16.
A full compliment of seeds made it through to the last 16 in the mixed doubles, headlined by Xu and Ma of China who defeated Lee and Kim of Korea to set up a second round match against Fuchs and Michels of Germany. There is an all-European match between European champions Mateusiak and Zieba who take on the new English partnership of Adcock and White. Christinna Pedersen again needed three games to progress with her partner Joachim Fischer Neilsen to set up a second round match against Shin and Eom of Korea. Zhang and Zhao abruptedly ended the run of the new Danish partnership of Pieler Kolding and Rytter Juhl in the opening round to set up a second round match against the Russian pair of Durkin and Vislova.
Day 1 Results:
A new year offers a new start and a new motivation after the obvious comedown from an Olympic year. The goals for the year alter from London 2012 with all eyes on Guangzhou and the World Championships in early August. Before the summer spectacle, the Super Series and Super Series Premier will pit the best against the best in 2013.
The world's elite converge in Korea for the first Super Series Premier of the year with the biggest prize fund of the year on offer. 2013 is a year of change within the badminton world, with new events and the last of certain Super Series before the new 2014 schedule. London gains a GP Gold event in early October that leads as a build-up event to the Denmark/France Super Series later in the month.
It will be the last Super Series in Malaysia before it's upgrade to Premier status in 2013 and China loses its Super Series event this year with Australia claiming Super Series status in 2014 but the China Super Series Premier remains. There will be no Peter Gade in 2013, retiring late last year with a last famous victory over Lin Dan. The double-Olympic champion will pick and choose his events as always and is a noticeable absence in Korea this week.
Lee Chong Wei and Chen Long will be the favourites for the title in the men's singles but a wealth of Chinese talent looking to defeat the top seed in the opening event of 2013. Wang Zhengming will be the first to claim a victory over the Malaysian and a likely Chinese opponent in the semi final should Lee Chong Wei reach the last 4. Victor Axelsen takes on Taufik Hidayat as the old guard meets the new generation in the match of the opening round.
The women's singles offers the expected Chinese dominance, with four seeds from the eight but like the men's singles, a new generation coming through to the overthrow the Chinese hierarchy in the event. Ratchanok Intanon buy xanax without prescription is the newest in line to attempt to defeat the world's elite and Saina Nehwal will also continue her quest to become world number 1. Tine Baun plays her last Korea Open ahead of her retirement after the All Englands before Juliane Schenk takes over the mantle of the sole European threat at the Super Series level.
Lee and Ko's meteoric surge up the rankings sees them seeded 6th but any thoughts of a dream final against Cai and Fu will be tempered with neither pair having an easy run to next Sunday's final. Koo and Tan are the 2nd seeds in Korea and likely semi final opponents for the Koreans whilst Cai and Fu will probably have to defeat the top seeded Boe and Mogensen in order to reach the final.
The women's doubles is the event to watch after the farcical events of the Olympics. Wang and Yu have returned to competitive action and their biggest rivals of the past few years have been split up to create two new partnerships. It offers Chinese a similar chance to dominate the doubles event as much as the singles with four partnerships that will likely feature in the top 10 in the coming months. Zhao Yunlei forms a new partnership with Cheng Shu, Tian Qing joins with Bao Yixin as well as Ma and Tang will offer Wang and Yu a stern test in 2013.
The mixed doubles offers the closest resemblance to 2012 with a similar field to the previous year. Chris Adcock and Gabby White are the top pairing from the six new English pairings whilst Jillie Cooper and Robert Blair will offer the only chance of Scottish success in the event. The usual suspects are all present in Korea, with Kamilla Rytter Juhl partnering Mads Pieler Kolding after Thomas Laybourn's retirement after the London Olympics. Ma and Xu are the top seeds, with their Chinese rivals Zhang and Zhao seeded 4th in the 2013 opener.
Play begins in Korea on Tuesday, January 8.
With six medals still on offer, the final day of Olympic badminton promised to be special. China were assured of two medals with the possibility of three as Lin Dan defended his Olympic title in another classic.
Lin Dan Claims Gold
The 2011 meeting in this arena between Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei was widely considered to the greatest match ever played. The 2012 meeting for Olympic gold will definitely be a contender to that title. An animated Lee Chong Wei took the opening game as a lackluster Lin Dan made several critical areas as the Malaysian dominated at the net. The second game was a role reversal, with the drift inside the arena playing it's part over the first two games.
The third game had everything you could ever wish for, long pulsating rallies and two of the best players of this or any generation retrieving shots that nobody thought possible. Lin Dan turned 11-9 up, but the ascendancy changed throughout the second game, with Lee Chong Wei taking an 18-16 lead as Malaysia hoped for gold. Lin Dan replied with the play that won him Olympic gold in Beijing four years previously. The score became 19-19 after the Malaysia left a lift that landed on the line, with Lin Dan going on an all-out attack to claim the first gold medal point.
The rally drew comparisons with Lin Dan's match point a year previously, pushing deep into Lee Chong Wei's forehand rear before a tight net shot from Lin Dan forced a high lift from the Malaysian that Lin Dan watched out of the back of the court before sprinting off court in celebration with the Chinese coaches in his wake. Lee Chong Wei remained on court to be consoled by his coaches. Lin Dan claimed his second gold medal 15-21, 21-10, 21-19 in 79 minutes.
Chen Long claimed the bronze medal in a three game victory over Lee Hyun Il to ensure an 8th medal out of a possible 15.
Cai and Fu Win Gold
The men's doubles final was between Cai and Fu of China against Boe and Mogensen of Denmark, who defeated the world number 1 pairing of Lee and Chung, won had already won the bronze medal in the morning session. The match was competitive, but there was only going to be one winner as the Danish pair had already played their final in the semi finals in beating Lee and Chung. The 21-15, 21-16 score was an accurate representation of the match as a whole, with the Chinese pairing just too strong for the Danes.
The win ensured a clean sweep of the medals for China, with four new gold medalists in Li Xuerui, Cai and Fu, Tian and Zhao Yunlei, who claimed two golds, one in the women's doubles and another in the mixed with Zhang Nan.
The day begun with Cai and Fu reaching the men's doubles Olympic final and ended with a pair of gold medals for China with the injury of Wang Xin the only low point in a day riddled with success for the Chinese.
Gold For Li Xuerui
The form player in 2012 justified her selection for the Olympics ahead of Wang Shixian and won China's second gold in two days. It was talent over willpower in the women's singles match, with Wang Yihan's talent failing to defeat Li Xuerui's will to win in a three-game classic. Saina Nehwal claimed the bronze medal, but not in the way the Indian would have hoped as Wang Xin retired at the beginning of the second game after claiming the opening game. A knee-injury hindered Wang Xin's movement before she crumbled on court after the opening point in the second game that forced her into retirement and gave Nehwal the bronze medal.
Tian and Zhao Claims Women's Doubles Gold
There was a Chinese winner in the women's doubles, but not the pair that many expected. With the group stage farce decimating the draw, it was the 2nd seeded Tian and Zhao who claimed gold – with Zhao Yunlei winning her second gold of the Olympics after her mixed doubles success. An easy first game victory for the Chinese required a response from the Japanese pairing of Fujii and Kakiiwa to ensure there wasn't a Chinese rout. A tighter second game ensued, but the Chinese eventually took the second game 25-23 to ensure China's third gold. Sorokina and Vislova took the bronze medal, after a one-sided victory over the Canadian pair of Bruce and Li.
Boe and Mogensen stun Lee and Chung
The "dream final" in the men's doubles was put on hold for at least four years by the Danish pair of Boe and Mogensen who defeated Lee and Chung in a sensation men's doubles semi final which will be a contender for match of the tournament. The Korean pair took an early lead, claiming the first game only for the Danes to respond and take the second game. After squandering a match point, Boe and Mogensen earned a second match point and a Mogensen lift was left by Lee Yong Dae, only for the shuttle to hit the lead and send the Danes into tomorrow's final. Cai and Fu will be their opponents tomorrow, after the Chinese pair defeated Koo and Tan in a one-sided semi final that the Chinese pair took with their third match point to ensure their second successive Olympic final.

Big Weekend on the Disney Magic!
by Heather Rivera
posted Oct 7 2012 5:22PM
This weekend has been such a good time on the Disney Magic that now leaves from Galveston. The experience so far has been SO MUCH FUN… or how they say on the ship 'A MAGICAL TIME'. It's the first time Ted and I have ever been on a cruise, so we didn't know what to expect.
Most people we talked to leading up to the cruise said the food is great and you can have it whenever you feel like it. This is true, your appetite will be taken care of. I recommend the
Animator's Palate
. We had dinner their last night, it was cool to see how the animation comes alive by Disney while enjoying a yummy meal, and of course w/my sweet tooth, the double chocolate cake ROCKED!!
(Ted and I on our stateroom veranda on the Disney Magic...THIS ROCKS!)
There was a special appearance by Wizard Mickey who kept the party going. BIG YOU ROCKS to Ebrahim and Francesca who were our servers, and will be taking care of us though out the cruise when it comes to sit down dinners. This is the Disney Cruise line way, so you have someone who gets to know you, your likes and dislikes of food and make each dining experience even better than the one before, which will be hard for them to top, since they Rocked it last night. Check out the game that Ebrahim showed us. Can you figure it out ?
Coming back to the room from a nice dinner was even nicer finding your bed turned down with chocolate waiting for you. We have noticed that the crew on the Disney Magic take the time to do the little things that make your time on the Disney Magic, truly 'Magical'.
You also get to experience a bit of culture from all over the world, since the Disney Magic has people who work on the ship from 63 different countries. So far we've met folks from New Zealand, Bulgaria, Croatia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Wales…doesn't' that ROCK! They are so nice and accommodating and sincerely want to see everyone having a good time. Whether it's family time, adult only or kid only time, there are tons of things to do on the ship for everyone.
This morning we had a bit of Italy for brunch at the adult only restaurant,
. Italian cuisine for dinner that Rocks one of the most elaborate brunches I've seen. From pastries, to cheeses, fruits, meats and desserts, made to order dishes… they even go out of their way if you have food issues. I'm looking forward to having dinner there . I've heard the chocolate soufflé is to die for. Of course the sweet tooth in me will put that to the test.
Whether it's a broadway style show with Big Time Disney flair, spending time w/ the kids at the Mickey or Goofy pool, enjoy some time away from the kids while they are taking over the 5
Deck with activities for kids of all ages, while you enjoy the adult only pool… There is something for everyone! It's AWESOME to see families together, smiling, happy, and having fun. It is Magical!
Some extra bonus magic is the Vista spa that offers fabulous adult relaxation time. De-Stress with a bamboo or hot stone massage, a seaweed wrap, facial and even acupuncture, that can really relieve the stress, and make your body feel good and healthy. Make sure you check out the 'Rain Forest Relaxation' area and take over one of their heated stoned chairs! AMAZING! I need one at home!
Right now we've had what they call sea days. There are endless things to do during ship time, and we are looking forward to checking out the land ports that we will
dock at
: Grand Cayman / Cayman Islands, Costa Maya and Cozumel.
Tonight, we'll take in a show in the Walt Disney Theater that has start of the art everything so your experience makes you feel like you are part of the show, followed by dinner at Parrot Cay for the Prince and Princess dinner! I'm hoing with my Prince Charming Ted!
Make sure you are listening to me all this week, from 10-3pm, as I do my show from deck #9. You will have a chance to
win a cruise for 4 on the Disney Magic
setting sail on October 20
I've got a cruise everyday, Monday-Friday, this week that's up for grabs. It's going to be a Big Lunch Hour this week! Listen so you can experience a "Magical Time' first hand on the Disney Magic leaving Galveston.
Looking forward to Tuesday's party with Mickey' Pirates In the Caribbean and Buccaner Blast Fireworks. Disney Cruise Line's ships are the only ones who do fireworks at sea. THAT ROCKS!!

How can we instill in our students an appropriate balance of opportunity and risk that a free market requires? How can we provide them with experiential opportunities to create new enterprises? How do we provide thought leadership regarding a culture of innovation?
The Jeffrey D. Clark Center for Entrepreneurship. Enhancing the capacity of the Huntsman School to foster transformational learning around our "entrepreneurial spirit" pillar by integrating knowledge, building confidence, and increasing the capacity of our students to take on significant leadership roles in their communities, their careers, and their homes.
While other universities in the state of Utah have centers for entrepreneurship, the Clark Center for Entrepreneurship differs in several important ways.
A significant effort has been made to include and support students from departments outside of the Huntsman School who are interested in new venture development. Services are also offered to students across USU's regional campuses.
The Clark Center assists students with a wide variety of venture startups, including for profit, nonprofit, technology, services, manufacturing, franchising, lifestyle businesses, etc.
The Clark Center emphasizes entrepreneurial skills as the new leadership paradigm. The practices taught through numerous activities help students excel in careers in a wide variety of industries and organizations.

RALEIGH (AP) - A study shows that the use of corporal punishment in North Carolina's public schools continues to decline, with students in six districts hit 184 times in the most recent school year.
Child advocacy group Action for North Carolina said Monday that students in Robeson County are hit the most, with 141 uses of corporal punishment there in the 2012-2013 school year. That represents 76 percent of the total statewide.
Other districts that use corporal punishment are Graham, Swain, Madison, McDowell and Onslow. Action for North Carolina says 10 other districts that allow corporal punishment have not used it in years. Local boards in 99 districts prohibit corporal punishment.
In 2011-2012, schools used corporal punishment 404 times, down from 891 instances the previous year.

- Molly Weasley: "Arthur, is that you?"
- Arthur Weasley: "Yes. But I would say that even if I were a Death Eater, dear. Ask the question!"
- Molly Weasley: "Oh, honestly…"
- Arthur Weasley: "Molly!"
- Molly Weasley: "All right, all right… What is your dearest ambition?"
- Arthur Weasley: "To find out how aeroplanes stay up."
- — Molly and Arthur Weasley check each other's identities during the Second Wizarding War.[src]
An aeroplane is a large Muggle aircraft with wings which is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller. It is used by Muggles to transport people and cargo through the air to long-distance, or otherwise inaccessible locations.
On his eleventh birthday in 1991, Dudley Dursley was given a remote control version of one of these as a present[1], which he soon crashed.[2]
In the evening of 1 September, 1992, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley passed by an aeroplane while flying an enchanted Ford Anglia to Hogwarts Castle, in Scotland.[3]
It is Arthur Weasley's dearest ambition to find out how aeroplanes fly and stay up.[4]
Behind the scenes
- According to the second W.O.M.B.A.T. on J. K. Rowling's Official Site, the aeroplane may be the only Muggle invention whose effects cannot be duplicated fully by magic.
- In the U.S. editions of the Harry Potter titles, the term "airplane" is used.

Tiberian Apocalypse is a Partial Conversion for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars with the goal to create a true Tiberian Sun sequel. GDI, Nod and the Scrin are getting a complete overhaul.
The year is 2050, Earth is largely uninhabitable and split in three kinds of zones: Green Zones, here Tiberium contamination is relatively low, few to no Ion Storms, most of these are at the Polar, and other very cold, regions, Yellow Zones, where Tiberium contamination is moderate, and Ion storms are frequent, most of these are desert, yet house more than half of Earth's total population. And finally, Red Zones. These no longer look like Earth. Tiberium everywhere, unbreathable air, constant Ion storms, near the borders between Yellow and Red zones, winds can rise to speeds that can tear the flesh right of a human's bones. Recently, Red Zones have started to grow dramatically, and so far nobody has been able to understand why. Samples of Tiberium from the growth areas gave no clue as to how or why this rapid expansion happens, but one thing is for certain: If it isn't stopped quickly, soon the entire planet will be uninhabitable.
GDI Took to the skies, mostly. They operate from huge command-ships, the legacy of the Kodiak, and from the Philadelphia. At the beginning of the Third Tiberium War, that was about 5 years ago, Nod tried to destroy the Philadelphia, by taking offline one of the ASAT hubs, and then attempting to nuke the Station, the system was returned to service just in time to intercept the missile. Since then, 5 more stations similar to the Philadelphia, have been constructed.
Nod is operating from the Temple of Nod in Sarajevo, and several Montauk-like vehicles. Their tactics haven't changed much since the second Tiberium War, relatively cheap and fast vehicles in elevated numbers at first, later then equipment that doesn't look like from this World. As opposed to what many assumed, Nod did not move away from Cyborgs, to the contrary, it is now frequent that even basic infantry may have a cybernetic eye, or artificial muscles and bones in some parts of the body.
Not much is known about the Scrin other from what was learned from the Tacitus: They are a species dependent on Tiberium for survival. They first seed Tiberium on a Planet, expecting it to eradicate all civilization on the planet and transform it into a ball covered in the green crystal which would then be reaped by their Harvesting fleets. When they first arrive on a Planet ,they build large portals, these have the aspect of three intertwined towers, with a bright light shining from the center. Lately, more and more people claim to have seen UFOs and otherworldly 'beings' near the borders of red Zones, but none of these have been confirmed so far.
Faction-gameplay styles:
GDI is a slow moving powerhouse, the best examples being Mammoth Tanks and Disruptors. Both are slow, but can absorb damage like a sponge, and deal out just as much. Very effective as attacking, not so much at defending as they lack a heavy defense like Nod's Obelisk.
Nod focuses on guerilla and stealth tactics. Stealth tanks, stealth soldiers, mobile stealth generators, etc. Their units tend to be fast and agile, but not pack as much of a punch as GDI and Scrin units. Fairly defensive.

So, it's that time of the Year again: Mod of the Year.
I have been working mostly on Ballancing recently, but also made the yet to be done structures less hideous. Surveyors are back, and Powerplants give Build Radius. I have managed to fix the bug that causes Artillery to refuse attacking targets at long range, and a few others too. Down with the Bugs! *plays Klendathu Drop theme*
And now for the result.

Hmm, weird...
Yeah, then again it's Desura. I'll leave you to your work on this. I just hope you can solve it before my birthday tommorow. :D
I seriously want to play this mod as of the latest version.
You can just download it regularly tho, then put it into My Documents -> CnC3 Tiberium Wars -> Mods, and run it through the command center's game browser. The files are the same after all.
Well I use Steam instead of the CnC Collection/physical retail version...
WinRar won't let me extract the file contents and niether will 77zip. Need Help Urgently!
Try downloading it again, it's possible your DL got corrupted.
OK, thanks!
AWW HELL YEAH! V1.4 IS HERE! Thanks Sarge!
You're wellcome :D
Hey Sarge! Noticed the 1.4 Beta media update. Things are looking gr8!
I hope it's not too late, but I just found something yesterday when playing this mod in 1.3. It's the GDI APCs. Enemy Flame weapons and grenades as well as Scrin Buzzers can kill the infantry garrisoned inside of them like a civilian structure. Do you know if that is fixable or is it actually intended?
I haven't noticed that during testing. I'd leave it in though, as it'd be an intresting counter to Zonetrooper APCs.
Oh yeah, they are bloody nightmare! Good Call ;)
Highest Rated (6 agree) 10/10
Very nicely designed units coupled with great ideas. So far, it accomplishes its goal of becoming a true sequel to Tiberian Sun.

ELKRIDGE, Md. (WUSA) -- Sunday night, an adult was seriously injured and five other people were displaced after a fire at a mobile home in Howard County, Md.
Howard County fire officials say firefighters responded to a mobile home in the 8000 block of Keeton Road in Elkridge at approximately 7 p.m. on Sunday. According to officials, firefighters found fire underneath the mobile hope rapidly spreading to the inside of the home.
Firefighters were able to get the fire extinguished in about 20 minutes but one resident of the home had to be transported to Johns Hopkins-Bayview Medical Center with serious, non-life threatening injuries.
Officials say the American Red Cross helped four adults and one child who were displaced by the fire.
The Howard County Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the fire.
Officials say the damage estimate is approximately $20,000.

Matching their skills on the gridiron
By: Todd Mordhorst Journal Sports Editor
Placer, Nevada county law enforcement suit up for Battle at the Capital
Rick Padilla didn't need to be talked into a football game pitting Placer County law enforcement against their Nevada County counterparts. More than 40 Placer law men jumped at the opportunity to put the helmets and pads back on. They will take the field Sept. 4 for the finale of The Battle at the Capital at Del Oro High. The game will conclude a weekend packed with football. It's all an effort to showcase local gridiron talent and raise funds for the Wounded Warriors, a non-profit for injured military veterans. Padilla said he had already been working on organizing a Placer County law enforcement football team when he ran into Mark Soto, who is heading up the Battle at the Capital. "He gave me a bit of the history about it and I mentioned to him that a lot of our guys are current or retired military," said Padilla, a sergeant at the Placer County Sheriff's Dept. "There's that tie-in and it's a great cause. I think we've got a very good team." Placer County Sheriff's Deputy Ken Skogen is an Air Force veteran and one of the team's standouts. At 6-4, 255 pounds he's got NFL size for his tight end/linebacker positions. He's been impressed with the dedication of the players, many of whom shelled out hundreds of dollars for equipment, uniforms and shoes for the event. "My sentiments were, 'It's about time we had a team,'" Skogen said. "I work out a lot and to have the opportunity to got out and play full contact football — I couldn't wait. We're doing it for a good cause, to help Wounded Warriors, so it's great." The Placer County team is made up of all levels of law enforcement, from city policemen and jail personnel to parole officers and all levels of the sheriff's department. They've met twice a week since June at Del Oro High for practices. Del Oro coaches Jerry Van Lengen, Matt McLemore, Lou Fernandez and Tim Makela have pitched in to help the players, some of whom haven't been on the field since high school. Padilla represented the Placer law men several years ago, but he's now on the coaching side, along with Ryan Berry, an on-campus officer at Del Oro. "My mind says yes, but the body says absolutely not," Padilla explained. Berry, who also assists the Del Oro JV team, is a former player, but he has enjoyed coaching the Placer County squad. "The guys don't get to hang out much outside of work, so this is a chance for them to get together and have fun," Berry said. "We can't get in the practice time that we'd like to, but it should be a good time." Several young players have impressed the coaching staff. Colfax native Adam Metcalf is the team's quarterback. Del Oro grad Andrew Bonner, the son of Placer County Sheriff Ed Bonner, is a speedy running back. Bear River grad Kyle Grant is a tough offensive lineman. Skogen, who grew up in Spokane, Wash., said the team may not be technically polished, but the competition will be intense on gameday. "It's going to be very aggressive," Skogen said. "Cops are Alpha personalities and someone's going to lose that game. It will be a good, healthy competition, but I guarantee there will be some good hits."

Students at Swansboro High School, who sympathize with students and families affected by the devastating shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary found a way to let the Connecticut community know they care. Thursday, hundreds of students walked to the bleachers on the football field wearing green and white- the school colors of Sandy Hook Elementary and read the names of those killed Friday.
"That's something, even at a young age, children will never forget. That is an extremely traumatic experience. Even if we can raise a little bit of money to have a scholarship fund for those kids it makes all of us feel good inside," said Swansboro High Junior
Nicholas Kohlman.
For many of these kids, the terrible news that struck the Newtown, Connecticut community hit close to home. Many of these kids have brothers and sisters at Swansboro Elementary School, and they find it hard to imagine the devastation those families are going through.
The students sold buttons and bracelets and raised nearly $1000 dollars to donate to a fund for the Sandy Hook School support fund.
The highschoolers will also send a framed picture from Thursday's event along with a letter of condolence to Newtown, Connecticut.

Fast Track Programs Offer Speed and Support
Submitted on March 09, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Vol State Fast Track programs have some important differences from regular courses: a defined group of students taking classes together, extra academic support, ease in registration and of course, as the name implies, they're quicker than the usual programs. The number of Fast Track programs at the College has increased in the last year. Currently, they're offered in Criminal Justice, Logistics, Office Management Technology, General Education and Early Childhood Education. Students say that while the speed in completion is what initially attracted them, the other characteristics are important to them as well.
"You form a camaraderie with the other people in class," said student Beth Eaton. "If you have questions or you don't understand something, the other people in class can help. It's comforting when you're sitting in a classroom and you see familiar faces from other classes."
"I'm very shy and it takes me a bit to get used to people," said student Mariah Means. "Here I have to participate in activities and that helps."
Penny Duncan teaches Early Childhood Education Fast Track groups. "I have seen a greater degree of participation. With the four hour-long class. We do two to three group activities each class."
The Early Childhood classes are hybrid, with part of the work done in class and part online. Each Fast Track program is a bit different in design and delivery. The common theme is an environment of extra support. Students sign an agreement at the start to make sure they understand what is expected of them. The condensed nature of the courses makes them quite intense and students can't afford to fall behind. The cohort model helps to keep students engaged.
"The support from each other is huge," Duncan said. "They're going through the five weeks together. If they don't see someone in class they ask about them and even call them."
Kristi Huffine is the new Fast Track coordinator at Vol State, helping to organize and promote all of the programs.
"I'm hoping to grow it. I'm hoping to make it more accessible to students who want a faster pace, so they can get out into the workforce."
Fast Track programs are not for everyone. The fast pace means students have to be ready to do the work.
"Dedicated, highly motivated and energetic- all of those would be important characteristics for students to work at that pace," said Huffine. "The speed of the coursework can be intense."
The certificate programs can lead directly into associate degree programs, giving students a clear path forward. Criminal Justice Fast Track has a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all-day format, which instructors say lends itself to "out of the box" teaching.
"They have the same class all day," said James Brown. "I can delve into things and do discussions that can run over an hour. And I can take the students off-campus to do things."
Those trips include visits to the Metro Nashville Police training facility and then an afternoon trip to the Emergency Communications Center.
Brown provides another example of why the extra time is so important to his classes. In the Legal Procedures class the students watch the movie "Helter Skelter" which covers the Manson family murder investigation and trial. Brown divides the class into half prosecutors and the other half defense attorneys. He gives them mock evidence from the Manson case and holds an evidentiary hearing.
"It's a lot of fun. You couldn't do that in an hour-long class. It forces me, as an instructor, to go way outside the traditional lecture format."
