KANSAS CITY, mo. — The Chiefs' defense harassed and hurried Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning into some uncharacteristic throws, and forced his eighth interception of the season Sunday.
But when Manning needed to make a play, he made it.
He converted two critical third downs in a 94-yard touchdown drive at the end of the first half. And he converted two more third downs as Denver ate up six valuable minutes that ended in a field goal with 14 seconds to play in the Broncos' 17-9 victory over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
So even though the Chiefs held Denver, the NFL's second-highest scoring team with a 30.1 average, to fewer than 20 points for the first time all season, it didn't really matter.
"Seventeen points is 17 points," said inside linebacker Derrick Johnson. "They didn't score a lot, but the object of the game is to have one more point than them, and we failed to do that today."
The Chiefs were nursing a 6-0 lead when Dustin Colquitt's punt pinned the Broncos at their 6 with 5:15 left in the first half.
But Manning carved up the Chiefs' defense, completing 6-of-6 passes for 78 yards, capped by a touchdown pass on third-and-goal from the 7 to tight end Jacob Tamme, who dragged safety Eric Berry across the goal line.
"Third down, that's where he goes to work," Berry said of Manning. "It's like a dink-and-dunk offense. He knows what we're in, and what you're going to do. He's going to do things to beat the coverage."
Manning gave the Broncos the lead for good with a perfectly thrown 30-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas, who beat cornerback Jalil Brown on a corner route, making it 14-9 late in the third quarter.
"When you play a guy like him, you've got to be flawless," cornerback Javier Arenas said of Manning, who completed 22-of-37 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns. "We were close to being flawless. There were a couple of plays we could have been better on. That's the difference in the game.

"If we play against a different quarterback, do we win the game? Maybe so."
In the fourth quarter, the Chiefs' defense twice forced the Broncos to go three-and-out deep in Denver territory as Manning threw five straight incompletions to well-covered receivers.
But the Chiefs' offense failed to take advantage of starting field position at their 37 and the 50, and when the Broncos got the ball back one more time at their 16 with 6:24 to play, they didn't let go. Third-down passes of 10 yards and 15 yards to Thomas sustained the final drive.
"Peyton Manning is a Hall of Famer," Johnson said. "In key situations in the game, he did really good. We played pretty good as a defense most of the game, but he made one or two more plays than we'd like him to make. ... That last drive, that's the killer right there. If we can get off the field and get off on third down, we'd have a chance to win."

Caleb Martin and Cody Martin want to keep the twin trend going by joining forces on the hardwood in college, which was set by Jarron and Jason Collins at Stanford and continued by Marcus and Markieff Morris at Kansas and David and Travis Wear at UCLA and North Carolina previously.The hype for the 2014 wing prospects from Davie County (NC) is rising after NC State, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest offered them scholarships, while Clemson, Georgetown, North Carolina, Ohio State and Providence and more are showing interest."I think Wake Forest [is showing the most interest] right now," Cody Martin. "I'm just keeping all of my options open."Like his brother, Caleb Martin is keeping his options open too, and is in no rush to make a decision.Jeff Battle is recruiting the Martin twins for Wake Forest."He's come to a lot of our games," Caleb Martin said. "He's a real cool coach. He's nice to be around, just an overall good guy, and a coach that had a tough year this year, but everybody has tough years [and] tough games. He'll be alright."Cody Martin likes the approach Battle is taking to their recruitment, and added that Wake is keeping it close.The 6-foot-7 swingmen led Davie County (NC) to an appearance in the semi-final round of the state playoffs and a 23-7 finish.Both said they are working this off-season to get stronger, improve their ball-handling and shooting.They are very versatile, and have the ability to switch from the wing to the paint. ...More...

In charge of one of the top AAU programs in the country, Ritchie Davis, who oversees the Wisconsin Playground Warriors, took some time in between tournaments to discuss a number of topics with BadgerBlitz.com. Within his program are some of Wisconsin's top in-state players and Badger basketball recruiting targets, a list that includes Sam Dekker, J.P. Tokoto and Bronson Koenig.The following is a question and answer piece with Davis:To start, can you just talk about Sam this spring? He seems to be playing a very high level and he's shot up in a number of individual rankings, including about 50 spots in ours.Davis: Well, I think Sam has been really consistent. Those people who have been out to enough events have seen him play at a real high level from game to game. Probably more importantly, Sam's played at that level from one event to the next event against some really good competition, so I think that helps. When it comes to evaluating Sam in these individual player rankings, he's played very, very well and has certainly added some stuff to his game. He's added some weight, which I think has helped. Everyone talks about what he does on offense, but I think the big thing that he's done this spring is show the ability to guard multiple positions. Along with guarding those positions, his ability to rebound has improved. Sam has certainly improved from year to year in our program. There's no reason why he won't continue to improve with the way he works. It should be fun to see where he's at in July and into his senior season. I supposed for your readers, all the way until he puts on that read and white uniform and arrives in Madison.Did Sam tweak his ankle in the last event you guys were in?Davis: Yeah, he had a severe high ankle sprain when we were at the Addidas May Classic, which was two weeks ago from this past Sunday. He tweaked his ankle early in the quarterfinal game and we had to play the rest of the way him. He had it looked at and has since taken part in some extensive daily treatment; he's actually getting it done in the morning and at night, so that's been good. He's made pretty good progress to the point where we think he'll be able to play for us this weekend. You've seen more basketball than I have over the last 10 years, but does Sam, at his size and with his skill set, offer something unique to this state? Maybe something this state hasn't seen before at the high school level?Davis: It's really tough to say if I've seen someone like Sam over the last 15 years. He does so much and he's so good for being a bigger kid. His ability to handle the basketball, to shoot the basketball, and he's so good in transition. There have been kids his size that have done things but they're not the same type of player some is.Obviously Sam Okey was 6-foot-7 and way more dominant than Sam (Dekker) will ever be on the interior - and Okey shot it pretty well - but he didn't have some of the perimeter skills that Sam (Dekker) does. Steve Novak was probably the best shooter that I've seen over the last 15 years at that level. I think he does that better than Sam Dekker but Sam can do some other things that Steve maybe wasn't able to do quite as well. Sam's overall skill level and what he brings to the table is pretty unique and I think he's much more athletic than most people give him credit for. Have college coaches reached out to you about Sam, even though he's committed to Wisconsin?Davis: Not too much; I think everyone knows that he's committed to Wisconsin. I think Sam and his family have made that clear. I have not heard from anyone asking about Sam. Moving on to J.P., have you noticed a sense of relief since he made his decision? Is he maybe able to play now without any outside pressure?Davis: You know, J.P. has also played really well for us this spring. Quite frankly, I thought at the last tournament in Bloomington that Sam and J.P. were the best two players there. I'm not saying one was better than the other, but J.P. was very good. As a matter of fact in the semifinals and finals, he played at a level I don't think the people down there have seen before or expected. He was really, really good in a lot of facets. I would say that he's a little more comfortable not thinking about those things but J.P. really never let that stuff get to him. He's just a fun kid and I don't think that has ever been something he's thought long and hard about while he was actually on the floor competing. When it comes to evaluating J.P. for people that haven't seen him enough, I think they come in expecting something that you're not going to see. Our teams win games and we're fortunate enough to have some talent besides those two (Dekker and Tokoto), even though they are the most talented players on our team. There are differences. Sam Dekker is probably going to lead our team in scoring in the games our team competes in, but J.P. Tokoto is an absolute stat-stuffer. J.P. rebounds pretty well, he's capable of defending because he's so long and he's real good with the ball getting up and down the floor. Sam is really good with the ball in the open floor but J.P. is the best I've seen in 15 years in the transition game. I'm not just talking finishing; I'm taking with the ball in his hands and his ability to find open teammates. You talk about all the facets you look for in a basketball player, in most of those J.P. is really good in those areas. And like I said, he's a stat-stuffer, even for us. We've been very happy. He's played very well and he seems to be enjoying it, as has Sam. We're fortunate in the events we play in and against the competition that we see to have our two Wisconsin kids playing so well together. That's something that we really appreciate. Can you talk about how you guys utilize Bronson and his ability to play up with the 17s when needed?Davis: Well, he's clearly good enough to play at the 17-and-under level. A lot of programs will move up those types of kids, which is not uncommon. Some of the better 2013 kids from Wisconsin will play up as well, but we're in a position and have a program where we don't need to play Bronson up in order to win games. When it comes to Bronson playing up, it's not that he's not capable - he's more than capable of playing up there - but we have an extremely tight group of kids in the 2013 class that truly enjoy being around one another on and off the court. As a result, we try to cultivate those relationships and have the kids build on stuff that has nothing to do with basketball and those relationships are really special to our guys.In Bronson's case, he likes to play up and will do so. But he truly values those friendships with his classmates. I think what people don't realize is that when all our 17-year-old kids move on after this year - because our program does not play seniors - Bronson's classmates are all still going to be here and we don't want to bring him back down to a bunch of kids he's never played with. They already have a repoire with one another and a strong friendship as a group. On our end, we're lucky to have two teams that have done so well. When people ask us why he's not playing up there, well, we've won 23 games and lost five. Would we only have four losses or three losses if Bronson played up there? We'll never know, but we've done well enough and at the same time, the 16's have had a good deal of success. It hasn't done anything to hinder Bronson's recruitment at all and some very high-quality programs have been involved this spring. He's the premier player in Wisconsin for his age and I think his scholarship offers are pretty impressive when compared to anyone else in our state. As a result, we haven't hindered his ability to been seen. He's still playing against really good competition because our schedule top to bottom, week in and week out, is very good. There just hasn't been a situation where he absolutely felt he needed to play up. To answer your question, we're fortunate that way to have the talent to be able to do this and it works out well. In the spring time, you can play at both levels. If for some reason the schedule dictates that he could play some with both teams, he has. In Bloomington, the 16s happened to lose in the brackets early enough on Sunday morning that we had him available for the whole stretch run. For those things, it just makes sense for us to handle it the way we have. It might be a little different, but I think we have a luxury the rest of our state doesn't have in that we have two very good teams at both levels.There has been some talk of Bronson playing in a combo-guard role. How do you feel about his ability to play both spots?Davis: Bronson can play both. He obviously shoots it very well; there are some really good shooters in Wisconsin's class of 2013 and Bronson probably ranks pretty near the top, although I think Matt Thomas is the best shooter I've seen in that class. Bronson is without question the best scorer in that class. Does it make sense to play him off the ball some? Absolutely, and we'll do that so he doesn't have to burn energy brining the ball up against pressure all the time.But his ball handling ability and passing skills are so good that it's tough not to want the ball in his hands. I think that most of the schools that have recruited him all want the same thing. They tell Bronson that he's a basketball player and that he can help them win games. He can play both spots and if that's what it takes for that particular team, then that's what he'll do in order to win games. In terms of Bronson's recruitment, where does he stand right?Davis: I haven't had that conversation with him or his parents at this time. He's still in the 10th grade and he has finals coming up in a couple of weeks. At this point, I think he continues to build relationships with those coaching staffs that have taken a genuine interest in him. That's probably as far as it is right now. Has he talked to certain staffs more than others? Sure, but I don't think there is any timetable set up for when he expects to make his decision. He's got some really nice options that most kids who grow up in Wisconsin would love to have. From that standpoint, I think he's a very fortunate young man. I just don't see anything happening within the next week or next two weeks or anything like that. Once again, that's entirely up to Bronson. I know both his mother and father want him to have as much information as possible, but they also want him to make the best decision for him and the one that he's most comfortable with. Are any of your guys going to be at Wisconsin's advanced camp in June? Davis: Sam will be there, and I think that makes sense. We have a couple kids that may choose to go because it fits in well with their schedule and financially they are able to do it. Outside of Sam, I think there is a chance that Carson Shanks or Bronson could both go. Bronson has been offered by Wisconsin and Carson has been shown very strong interest. Other than that, I just don't know. Right now, we're in the process of finalizing Bronson's June schedule. His father has most of that worked out as to where he'll be, but I just haven't seen that yet. But hopefully we can get that finalized over the weekend and have everything set. I believe you guys are going to add Carson for this weekend. Can you talk about his ability so far?Davis: I've seen Carson enough and I've watched him play to know what he does. He's been able to practice with us a few times. For him, I think he fits in well with what are kids are all about and what we do schematically. He's a big kid and he's all of 7-feet tall. Carson also has really good skills but the best thing about him is that there is so much he's still able to do and learn. If he continues to work hard and put the time in, I think some really good things will come down the line. Carson and his family have sincere interest in Wisconsin and coach (Bo) Ryan and his staff have an interest as well. We'll see how it plays out over time, but there's interest on both sides and for that reason I think there is a good chance Carson will be at the advanced camp. Talk about how your schedule worked out this year. You guys won't be playing any tournaments in Wisconsin.Davis: We'll, I don't think there is a real reason. I don't think we're hiding from anyone. You know, we made the switch this year to Addidas and there are some things that are required there. We felt with the schedule we had, we wanted to play in the best events available but you just can't play every weekend. While there was an event in Milwaukee this past weekend, Sam Dekker wasn't the only player that was injured and our guys had been playing for four straight weekends and needed a break. A lot of that has to do with academics and those requirements. I think we play in the top events in the country each weekend - if they're not the best, they're certainly one of the top two events going on at a given time.The state tournament in Wisconsin is not what it used to be at all. In all the years that I've done this, it just didn't pay for us to go this year. A lot of people ask why we're not going to the state tournament. Well, we won without J.P. at his age level and we won at Bronson's age level last year. For the people that were there, we had a couple games that were close for a little bit, but for the most part, they weren't. We went up to the (Wisconsin) Dells last year because it fit perfectly for us and we weren't with Addidas. So we went there in the spring and won and we won there in July, and it worked pretty well for the Dells community and the people up there. But there really isn't a reason for us to be up there this year. Our guys want to play people and it is unfortunate because there are people in Wisconsin that want to see us play. I know that our kids would have liked to play in Wisconsin if the right thing was there and it was possible. I understand that there's a nice event in Milwaukee in July after we get back from Kentucky, but for our guys and for our parents, that's just a lot of games. So for us to go from Indianapolis to Louisville, all the way to Kentucky and then to come back and play, that's about 11 straight days of basketball and I'm not sure we can hold up that long. ...More...

The survey was intended to be representative of United States residents, both male and female, in 1979 who were born between the years of 1957 and 1964. The NLSY79 observes the life-course experiences of young adults that had, typically, finished their schooling and were making decisions about education and training, entering the labor market, military service, marriage, and having families. The survey was conducted annually between the years of 1979 and 1994 and then biennially thereafter. The NLSY79 addresses 13 main topics including: labor market experiences, training investments, schooling, military experience, income and assets, health conditions, substance abuse and criminal behavior, geographic residence, family background, household composition, marital and fertility histories, and childcare. Between 1979 and 2002 respondents were asked about the current labor force status, whether the respondent was employed, unemployed, or out of the labor force. Respondents who were considered to be employed were asked for information regarding their occupation, industry, benefits, job satisfaction, and number of hours worked. In addition, respondents were asked about wages, length of time with current employer, and gaps in their work history. Unemployed respondents were asked about their job search behavior and plans to seek employment. Respondents were asked a series of questions relating to training investments. The NLSY79 collected data on the types of non-goverment-sponsored vocational training programs in which the respondent participated. Specifically, respondents were asked about dates of training received, form of payment for the training, whether certification or a license was obtained as a result of the training, and transferability of skills acquired various job-training programs. Respondents were also asked questions about their schooling such as current school enrollment, highest grade completed, whether they had received a high school diploma or GED equivalent, type of high school curriculum, college enrollment status, major field of study at college, and college degrees earned. Respondents were also asked about any military experience such as enlistment intentions, attitudes toward military service, dates of military service, branch of service, income, education/training received, and reasons for leaving the military or reenlisting. Respondents were also surveyed on their income sources and assets. Respondents were asked about income coming from the respondents' and their spouses' wages or salary, military service, profits from a farm or business, Social Security, pensions, alimony/child support, unemployment compensation, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), and Food Stamps. They were also asked about asset holdings such as property, vehicles, and savings accounts. Respondents were asked to provide data with respect to their physical condition including height, weight, and any health condition that might prevent or inhibit labor market participation. This could include work-related injuries, for mothers, prenatal care, and overall physical activity. Respondents were queried about alcohol and substance abuse. Specifically, they were asked about the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption, use of cigarettes, and the extent of any illegal drug use (e.g. marijuana, barbiturates, cocaine, and heroin). Respondents were asked for their expectations relating to marriage, education, and employment and attitudes towards work and women, occupational aspirations, and work commitment. Respondents were also asked about residence information including residence at birth, at age 14, and current region of residence, whether current residence is rural or urban, and whether the residence is located in a metropolitan statistical area. Selected surveys also a asked a series of questions on family background including racial/ethnic identification, number of siblings, immigration/visa status, as well as background information about their parents' birthplace, education, and work experiences. They were also asked about their current household composition including the sex, age, and relationship to respondent for each person living in the respondents household at the time. Respondents were asked to give information relating to their marital and fertility histories including current marital status, changes in martial status since the previous interview, previous marriages, total number of spouses and partners. Female respondents were asked about their fertility histories including all pregnancies resulting in live births, children, contraceptive methods, birth expectations, and abortions. Finally, female respondents were asked to comment on childcare options utilized such as care given by relatives, daycare centers, nursery or preschools, costs of childcare, and number of hours the respondents' children spent in childcare. 1979 2002 1979 2002 Please see geographic coverage. United States individual Young men and women ages 14 to 21 as of December 31, 1978 representing the civilian, noninstitutionalized population and residing in the United States. survey data A total of 12,686 youth were selected from the universe of potential respondents during household screenings and deemed eligible respondents. In addition, there was a supplemental sample of 5,295 youth designed to oversample civilian Hispanic, Black, and economically disadvantaged non-Black and non-Hispanic youths. There was also a military sample of 1,280 designed to represent the population born between January 1, 1957, and December 31, 1961, and enlisted in one of the four branches of the active military forces as of September 30, 1978. computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) face-to-face interview paper and pencil interview (PAPI) telephone interview The data belonging to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 was previously archived as part of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experiences, 1966-1992 (ICPSR 7610). In efforts to make the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) Series data more usable, the six cohorts comprising the NLS have been reorganized so that data and documentation for each study can now be found under the following ICPSR study titles: National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 (ICPSR 3959), National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men, 1966-1990 (ICPSR 4675), National Longitudinal Survey of Young Men, 1967-1981 (ICPSR 4678), National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women, 1968 (ICPSR 4680), and National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women, 1967 (ICPSR 4681). The original National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experiences data and documentation files remain available in their original form. Please see ICPSR study 7610. Please consult the codebook for important errata for the NLS Youth 1979 cohort. Additional information pertaining to the NLS Youth 1979 cohort can be found at the Bureau of Labor Statistics: http://www.bls.gov/nls/nlsy79.htm. The initial 1979 survey had 11,406 respondents yielding a response rate of approximately 89 percent.

Tormund is a trusted leader in his own right of a large warband of wildlings. He has joined his forces to those of King-Beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder, and now functions as one of Mance's most trusted lieutenants.
Season 3
When Jon enters Mance's tent, he initially believes Tormund is Mance and kneels before him.
Tormund leads twenty other of the Free Folk, including Jon Snow and Ygritte, in scaling The Wall, where he was instructed to await a signal from Mance; several of his party fall to their deaths in the climb. Later when Jon Snow is outed as a spy, Tormund restrains Ygritte to prevent her from helping him in the ensuing scuffle, and more still of his party are killed as Jon escapes.

Behind the scenes
The role was announced in May 2012.[1] Kristofer Hivju was confirmed in the role in July 2012.[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tormund Giantsbane, also known as Tormund Thunderfist, is a wildling chieftain following Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall. He serves alongside the Lord of Bones, Styr the Magnar of Thenn and several other chieftains as an advisor and lieutenant to "the Mance". He is a charismatic, hearty, good-humored man (unlike his TV portrayal) and, by wildling standards, has a rough sense of honor. He styles himself Tall-talker, Horn-blower, Breaker of Ice, Husband to Bears, Mead-King of Ruddy Hall, Speaker to Gods and Father of Hosts. He has four sons (Toregg, Torwynd, Dryn, and Dormund) and a daughter (Munda). Tormund is older in the books than in the TV series: he is described as having a white beard so he is not a young man, but he is also described as large, broad, and still very strong. He wears thick gold bands graven with runes on his massive arms, and a heavy shirt of black ringmail that could only have come from a dead ranger. Tormund likes to brag about his deeds, but he is not arrogant.
While Jon travels with the wildlings, he and Tormund become friends despite Jon's effort to keep his distance from the wildlings. Jon is rather amused to hear Tormund's stories. Tormund approves of the growing romance between Jon and Ygritte, and encourages Jon to have sex with her. When the Lord of Bones acts hostilely and suspiciously toward Jon, Tormund supports Jon.
In the books it is not Tormund but Styr that leads the wildling party to scale the Wall.

my camera everywhere so ended up just leaving it back at the hotel room every time we went out (sorry!). We stayed at the new and
oh so fresh Cosmopolitan. Pretty amazing hotel (highly recommend); my fave
was the pool! Spent hours laying out and the water felt so cold/refreshing
with the 100+ degree weather!
I get easily tanned and well….my legs were the ones that suffered the most, oh well.
Things that sucked though was
1. I didn't win any money gambling, but then again I only gambled $20!
2. My fave sandals got stolen while we were inside the pool!…. I was so annoyed/pissed/bummed. Seriously who does that? ruuuuuude.
3. Didn't visit the shopping outlets; pretty disappointed; but i did score a couple things at All Saints (inside the hotel) for half off!
3. We missed a boxing fight at the Mandalay Bay… my fault for taking forever to get ready. Oops.
All in all, it was the perfect getaway with the perfect person.

South Coast Air Quality Management District
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), formed in 1976, is the local governmental agency in California which is responsible for regulating stationary sources of air pollution in the area depicted on the adjacent map. That area includes all of Orange county and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The main office of the SCAQMD is located in the city of Diamond Bar, California.[1]
The area encompassed by the SCAQMD amounts to about 10,750 square miles (27,840 square kilometres) and is the second most populated area in the United States. This area has a severe problem with smog and the SCAQMD has been a leader in the nation's efforts to reduce air pollution emissions.
How the SCAQMD operates
The SCAQMD develops, adopts and implements an "Air Quality Management Plan" for bringing the area into compliance with the clean air standards established by national and state governmental legislation.
Air quality and permissible air pollutant emission "rules" are promulgated to reduce emissions from various sources, including specific types of equipment, industrial processes, paints, solvents and certain consumer products. Permits to operate (in compliance with the air quality and emission rules) are issued to the pertinent industries and businesses and SCAQMD staff conducts periodic inspections to ensure such compliance.
The SCAQMD's rules apply to businesses ranging from large petroleum refineries and power plants to gasoline fueling stations and dry cleaning plants. There are about 30,000 such businesses operating under SCAQMD permits. In general, the SCAQMD is limited to establishing rules for regulating stationary sources. Emission standards for mobile sources (automobiles, trucks, buses, railroads, airplanes and marine vessels) are established the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.
How the SCAQMD is organized
The SCAQMD has a "Governing Board" of 12 members. Nine of the board members are members of the local county and city governments. The remaining three are appointed by California state officials. The chief "Executive Officer" of the SCAQMD reports to the Governing Board and the following departments report to the Executive Officer:[2]
Administrative departments
- Policy advisor
- Legal (Counsel and Prosecutor)
- Public Affairs
- Media Relations
- Finance
- Human Resources
- Information Management
Operational departments
- Engineering and Compliance
- Planning, Rule Development and Area Sources
- Science and Technology advancement
Air quality monitoring network
The SCAQMD also operates an extensive network of air quality monitoring stations (about 40 stations) and issues daily air quality forecasts. The forecasts are made available to the public through newspapers, television, radio, faxed messages to schools, the SCAQMD's internet website, and a toll-free smog update telephone line.[3]
Oversight of air quality and air pollution dispersion modeling
The air quality modeling activities of the SCAQMD are one of the functions of the Planning, Rule Development and Area Sources department. That section is also responsible for oversight and commenting upon air pollution dispersion modeling[4][5] studies performed as part of any environmental impact studies that may be reviewed by or requested by the SCAQMD. The models that may be utilized include:[6]
- California Line Source Dispersion model (CALINE-4)
- Industrial Source Complex Short Term model (ISCT3)
- Roadway Construction Emissions Model
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's air quality models
- California Air Resources Board's air quality models
- Hotspots Analysis and Reporting Program (HARP)
Funding for the SCAQMD
About 70% of the SCAQMD's funding is derived from fees paid by the regulated businesses, 20% from motor vehicle registration fees and the balance from other sources such as fines and other penalties assessed for businesses that violate the SCAQMD's rules.

The Supreme Court has given more power to the IRS, so the agency can estimate how much a worker should be taxed based on a servers credit card tips.
The Illinois restaurant association says while state restaurants do a good job in requiring employees to claim their income, the association is concerned that this decision will turn restaurant managers into tip police.
This decision stems from a lawsuit brought against the IRS by a California restaurant which claimed the IRS formula of estimating cash tips based on credit card tips doesn't take into consideration some stingy cash tips, takeout meals, or tip sharing.

It was hard for Mark Richt to find much fault in his team's 48-12 thumping of Western Kentucky in the season opener last weekend, but he has no problem pointing out the good things. One of them was the play of several true freshmen who saw their first action as a Bulldog in the win.
In all, six true freshmen played in the contest: quarterback Matthew Stafford, receiver Kris Durham, defensive tackle Geno Atkins, linebacker Darius Dewberry, and cornerbacks Asher Allen and Prince Miller. Three of the six had the benefit of enrolling early and going through spring camp with the team, but, as Richt points out, it is hard to tell too much by just a player's performance in practice.
"That is something that you can not simulate," he said of game experience. "You do not know what can happen to a guy the first time out, and you can not hardly judge a guy by the first time out. I thought the guys did pretty good."
Several redshirt freshmen got their first taste of SEC football as well in the game: cornerbacks Bryan Evans, safety Donovan Baldwin, defensive end Roderick Battle, defensive tackle Kade Weston, receiver Mike Moore, and quarterback Joe Cox. In all, Georgia played 12 first timers. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

- "Dragons are fire made flesh. And fire is power."
- ―Quaithe
- "Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor."
- ―(A dragon is not a slave.)
Daenerys Targaryen to Kraznys mo Nakloz, much to the shock of the latter.
Dragons are creatures that once existed on the continents of Westeros and Essos, but until recently were considered to have been extinct for over a century and a half.
Dragons have long serpentine bodies, with two short legs and large bat-like wings. They have long necks and tails. Horns run down their backs from head to tail. As they mature, they also sprout two sets of frills, one that runs on the side of their neck, and another pair that run next through their neck bones, when agitated, these frills puff up. They are born with teeth. Their heads have long horns on the top and there are additional horns along the side of their jaws. A dragon's skin and wing colors vary, thus far, three different color patterns have been seen:
- Black with red markings
- Green with bronze markings
- Cream with gold markings
Dragons cannot be tamed but they can be trained or mastered; Aegon the Conqueror commanded three dragons in battle. He and his sister-wives were able to ride the dragons. The extent of mastery depends upon the bond that is formed between the owner and the dragon. Dragons are very over-protective of their owner, all three of Daenery's Dragons became very agitated during a negotiation with a Wise master of Yunkai, in which the latter threatened Daenerys. Dragons can be taught vocal commands as well, even at a young age Daenerys taught her dragons to spit fire when she said "Dracarys" (meaning dragonfire in High Valyrian).
Known historical dragons
- Balerion, the Black Dread, the largest dragon known, was more than 200 years old when he died. Aegon the Conqueror's steed during the War of Conquest. Allegedly the Iron Throne was forged in his breath. His skull is stored in the Red Keep.
- Meraxes, the dragon of Aegon I's sister-wife Rhaenys. His skull is stored in the Red Keep.
- Vhagar, the dragon of Aegon I's sister-wife Visenya. His skull is stored in the Red Keep.
- Silverwing, the dragon of Queen Alysanne Targaryen, the sister-wife of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. Alysanne rode Silverwing to Winterfell on a royal visit and, on a whim, then flew him all the way to the Wall to visit the Night's Watch.
- Vermithrax, mentioned by Viserys Targaryen as the name of one of the dragons whose skull is stored in the Red Keep.[1]
- Ghiscar, mentioned by Viserys Targaryen as the name of one of the dragons whose skull is stored in the Red Keep. Apparently named after the Ghiscar region.[2]
- Valrion- mentioned by Viserys Targaryen as the name of one of the dragons whose skull is stored in the Red Keep.[2]
- Esovius- mentioned by Viserys Targaryen as the name of one of the dragons whose skull is stored in the Red Keep.[2]
- Archonae- mentioned by Viserys Targaryen as the name of one of the dragons whose skull is stored in the Red Keep.[2]
Daenerys Targaryen's dragons
- Drogon - Black with red markings. Larger than its brothers.
- Rhaegal - Green with bronze markings.
- Viserion - Creamy white, with gold markings.
Season 1
In the series the dragon species is established as having been extinct for many years. The only thing left of the race are petrified dragon eggs, which are used as decoration, and the bones which are used for weapon crafting. According to one legend, dragons originated from a second moon that hatched when it drifted too close to the sun. This is mostly dismissed as a simple myth.
They remain the sigil of House Targaryen, who were known to have a special affinity with the creatures. Even a Targaryen like Daenerys who knows nothing of her true heritage feels a connection with the relics of the ancient animals. She appears to feel a connection with the eggs; causing her to develop a curiosity about the race and the possibility that there may still be living dragons.
Daenerys Targaryen is given three petrified dragon eggs as a gift for her wedding to Khal Drogo. The three eggs are black, green and yellow and are initially in poor condition; covered in grime and looking more like stones than egg-like[3].
Daenerys has started caring for the eggs and they have become more rich in color. She also keeps them in a chest surrounded with lit candles, day and night and is drawn to them[4].
Arya stumbles upon the massive skull of one of the Targaryen dragons while chasing a cat in the vaults. She hides in the mouth of the skull and overhears the plotting of Ilyrio and Varys.[5]
Daenerys continues to experiment with her eggs. She briefly places one of the eggs into a fire pit in an attempt to hatch it, but the egg remains unhatched. She removes the egg from the fire with her bare hands, but remains unhurt[6].
Daenerys Targaryen places the eggs on the funeral pyre of her husband after smothering him with a pillow. She also straps the witch Mirri Maz Duur to the pyre. She then lights the pyre, and walks into it, with all her followers believing her to be dead. In the morning however, she is found with three dragons, a white-peach colored dragon by her feet, a green one in her arms, and a black dragon clinging on her shoulder that later screeches and flaps its wings[7].
Season 2
Daenerys tries unsuccessfully to feed her dragons raw meat. She is unclear what she is doing wrong.[8] Later, in Qarth, she realizes that they will only eat cooked meat. She coaxes them into recognising the Valyrian command, "Dracarys," to breathe fire, so they can cook their own food.[9]
The dragons are later stolen[10] by the warlocks of Qarth and hidden in the House of the Undying. The warlocks and Xaro Xhoan Daxos carry out a coup to seize control of the city in the wake of the theft. Pyat Pree invites Daenerys to come to the House of the Undying and be reunited with her 'babies'.[11]Once Daenerys is inside the citadel she is enthralled by two specific illusions; the iron throne room with a destroyed roof and snow falling in and the illusion of her dead husband and child. The sound of the crying dragons pulls Daenerys out of the temptation to stay in either illusion. Continuing her search for her dragons she finds them all chained beside each other, and they scream with excitement when she nears them. Daenerys goes to them, only to find herself chained as well. With her arms stretched to either side of her she becomes a captive. However with a bit of a twisted smile, Daenerys speaks the High Valyrian word for fire, and Drogon first answers her call, but isn't very effective by himself. However then, both Rhaegal and Viserion join in, setting Pyat Pree ablaze.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, dragons are described as winged, four-limbed creatures (two legs and two foreclaws). This form is more often described as a wyvern in medieval mythology, where dragons are typically four legged.
They are native to the continent of Essos, and were found in significant numbers some five thousand years ago on the Valyrian Peninsula. The people of Valyria tamed the dragons and used them as steeds and weapons of war. Using dragons they forged a vast empire spanning most of the continent until the event known as the Doom destroyed the empire and eliminated most of the dragons. The only dragons known to have survived were the three dragons belonging to House Targaryen, which used them to conquer the Seven Kingdoms.
The Targaryens kept their dragons in Westeros for approximately 130 years. The most Targaryen dragons that ever lived seems to have been nineteen, given that this is the number of dragon skulls stored by the Targaryens in the Red Keep (barring the possibility that one's skeleton was never recovered). They probably weren't all alive at the same time. Most of them were killed in the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of Dragons, which occurred 130 years after the Targaryen Conquest and 150 years before Robert's Rebellion. Of Aegon's original three dragons, Balerion died in the peaceful reign of King Jaehaerys I almost a hundred years later, while Vhagar was killed in the Dance of Dragons (Meraxes' fate has not been mentioned). The few surviving dragons were weak and sickly, with the last dragon (a stunted creature not much bigger than a large dog) dying during the reign of Aegon III Targaryen, the Dragonbane. The last dragons left behind several eggs, which never hatched. These eggs were later destroyed or lost to the vagaries of history. As a result, dragons are now considered to be extinct.
While there are nineteen dragon skulls in the Red Keep, it isn't clear if this reflects the number of battle-ready dragons the Targaryens ever possessed (even this is assuming that a dragon's skull was recovered every time one died). The Targaryens originally possessed five dragons which they saved from the Doom of Valyria, yet in the century between the Doom and the Targaryen Conquest of Westeros, four of them died, leaving Balerian the Black Dread as the only surviving pre-Doom dragon. However, the other dragons did leave behind eggs, from which Vhagar and Meraxes hatched. It may be reasonable to assume that the skulls of these four dragons were preserved by the Targaryens. Meanwhile, the books state that the last dragons were stunted and sickly creatures who died young; Tyrion notes that the skulls of the last two dragons were no bigger than those of a mastiff (not just the final one emphasized in the TV series). This being the case, there may have been at most thirteen battle-ready Targaryen dragons in history, and probably not all at the same time. The most dragons that can confirmed to be alive at any one time are the six that were alive during the rule of King Jaehaerys I, which included Aegon I's original three and three of their progeny. One of these was Silverwing, which belonged to Jaehaery's sister-wife Queen Alysanne. Later, Rhaenyra Targaryen rode Syrax during the Dance of Dragons, though Syrax may or may not have been one of Jaehaerys I's six.
According to Valyrian records, dragons hatch small, about the size of an average cat, but grow larger and larger as their appetites expand. A dragon never stops growing as long as it remains fed. Dragons could live to be over 200 years old, and it is said that Balerion the Black Dread, one of Aegon I's dragons, was so huge by the time he died he could swallow an aurochs whole. Barristan explicitly states that it isn't very clear how long dragons can live before they die of natural causes, because they were bred and used as weapons of war and thus usually died of violent unnatural causes. The few healthy dragons that didn't die in combat still lived at least several centuries.
Dragons could breathe fire and were ferociously strong. However, they were also vulnerable to sustained arrow fire from the ground, to poison and to attacks from other dragons. While extremely powerful, they were not outright invincible, and given their rarity and the large expense in rearing them Aegon was reluctant to commit all of his dragons to a single battle, for fear that they might be overwhelmed through greater numbers and killed. Thus, Aegon took a calculated risk when he fielded all three of his dragons for the first and only time at the climactic Field of Fire, the battle which secured his conquest. The art of taming and commanding dragons enough to ride is almost unknown aside from a few exceedingly rare books.
Dragons, like certain species of lizards, can shift gender and have no fixed sex: they can shift back and forth as the needs of the species require for reproduction. However, they are usually referred to as male.
In the books, Daenerys receives three exceptionally rare dragon eggs as a wedding gift from her longtime host, Illyrio. Despite being told that the eggs are petrified, Daenerys claims to be able to feel heat coming from the eggs. After bringing them with her into the funeral pyre which burns the dead body of her husband Drogo, three baby dragons are hatched (and Daenerys is unharmed): one green, one white, and one black. She names the green one Rhaegal, after her brother Rhaegar, heir to the throne of Westeros after his father Aegon, but killed in Robert's rebellion. The white dragon is named Viserion, after her brother Viserys--her childhood companion and keeper, and rightful heir of the Seven Kingdoms after the death of Rhaegar. The largest dragon, black in color, is named Drogon, in memory of her late husband.
In the books, the bones of dragons are black. In the series, however, the skulls in King's Landing are shown to be white.
Weapons are described as being made of this black dragon bone and the material being very valuable especially for the making of bows as it is stronger and more flexible, making the arrows fly much further. Dragon bone is also fireproof.
In the red waste one of Daenerys Targaryen's scouts returns to report finding the long dead bones of a dragon.

Beta-Blockers for Mitral Valve Prolapse
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Lopressor, Toprol
How It Works
Beta-blockers interrupt the normal chemical signals transmitted by nerves that stimulate, and sometimes overstimulate, the pacing of the heart. They slow down the heartbeat and reduce blood pressure.
Why It Is Used
Beta-blockers are used for mitral valve prolapse to relieve symptoms of palpitations or chest pain that might happen with this condition. Beta-blockers do not improve the functioning of the mitral valve.
How Well It Works
Beta-blockers can relieve symptoms of palpitations or chest pain in people with mitral valve prolapse.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Fainting or severe dizziness.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Very slow heart rate (less than 50 beats per minute).
- Swelling in legs or feet.
- Shortness of breath or wheezing, especially if you have asthma.
- Cold hands and feet.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness.
- Feeling tired.
- Trouble sleeping.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Check your pulse. Your doctor may ask you to take your pulse regularly to make sure your heart rate is not too slow. To learn how to take your pulse, see the topic Taking a Pulse (Heart Rate).
Diabetes. If you have diabetes, beta-blockers may cause higher blood sugar levels. Watch closely for symptoms of low blood sugar, because beta-blockers can hide your symptoms.
Grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice may affect how beta-blockers work. Ask your doctor if you need to make any changes to avoid problems. For more information, see Grapefruit Juice and Medicine.
Cold weather. Beta-blockers may make you more sensitive to cold weather. Dress warmly and if necessary, limit your time in cold weather.
Sun exposure. Beta-blockers may make you more sensitive to sunlight. You might get sunburnt easily or get a rash. To prevent problems, try wearing sunblock, long-sleeved shirts, and hats.
Allergic reactions. If you have food, medicine, or insect-sting allergies, beta-blockers may cause allergic reactions to be worse and harder to treat. If you have a severe allergic reaction, tell your doctor that you are taking a beta-blocker.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Potted Potter
this wiki
Potted Potter: The Unauthorised Harry Experience — A Parody by Dan and Jeff is a Harry Potter stage show parody that combines the elements of the original books from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into a seventy-minute stage production.
Potted Potter was created by BBC television hosts Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner. The program has toured successfully in Edinburg, Scotland and in a number of venues throughout the United Kingdom and the wider world. In November 2012, it begins a tour in Chicago, Illinois in the United States.[1]
The production has a comedic tone and is promoted with the pitch "Even if you don't know the difference between a horcrux and a Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter." The production has received glowing reviews from a number of major media sources, including The London Times, The New York Times, and the Toronto Star.[2]

Mother of the Bride
Mother of the Bride Dresses are available here for all types of occasions whether during the day or night we have all colors and all types of Mother of the Bride Dresses. Aside from hosting a state dinner, your daughter's wedding is probably the biggest party you'll ever throw. The last thing you want your Mother of the Bride to channel is "a whole lot of frumpy."
The best way to make your guests feel welcome is to emit an air of confidence and happiness. A smile, a good pair of shoes and a fabulous Mother of the Bride dress will help you carry off your hostess duties with style and grace. Your daughter will be proud, your guests will offer a year's worth of compliments, and the wedding photos will capture you and the wedding party at your very best.
Something for every "body"
Gone are the days of wedding party mothers in clichéd polyester pastels. Today's enlightened wedding industry offers something for everyone's taste, size and budget. Whether short, tall, petite or well-endowed, there is an infinite number of Mother of the Bride dresses from which to choose – classy silk mikado suits, floor-length gowns made of iridescent taffeta or tea-length dresses in figure-flattering jersey.
A confidence booster
While your daughter's dress is at the top of the priority list, your wedding attire must be chosen with care, too. As hostess, you will be in the spotlight. If your clothes are poorly fitted or an unflattering color, you're likely to feel ill at ease the whole day. Being dressed in a stunning ensemble with makeup, accessories and hair to match will ensure that you exude grace and self-assurance as you winsomely extend hospitality and orchestrate a celebration to remember.
Flattery will get you everywhere
A Mother of the Bride dress could be anything from a form-fitting silk crepe in pewter with a swing jacket to match to a ruffled frock in cascading royal blue that brings out the color of your eyes. Perhaps a column dress in coral is the gown of your dreams…or a jade-colored silk with a whisper-light illusion style shrug.
The wedding's color scheme may dictate the color palette from which you choose, but try to make a fabric selection that flatters your skin tone. Whatever your choice, you want to feel like a million bucks while you dance, chat with guests and receive countless congratulatory hugs.
Something suitable
Suit ensembles give elegance and provide the layering necessary to deal with cold drafts at the church or synagogue. Long-sleeved jackets cover arms during photographs, but later can be set aside at the reception when the dance floor heats up. Cap sleeves, wrist-skimming cuffs, spaghetti straps, three-quarter length and off-the-shoulder sleeves are all acceptable variations. Select a neckline – scooped, V-cut, square or asymmetrical – that is flattering to your face shape and shoulder width.
A lengthy topic
Whether knee-skimming or swirling about your ankles, the length of the hostess' dress should reflect the bride's wishes, the formality of the ceremony and reception, and the cut most flattering and comfortable to the mother. If you have shapely legs, pair a more demure skirt length with a flirty side slit. Couple a floor-length gown with some sexy heels and a perfect pedicure.
Location, location
Keep in mind that a destination wedding on a beach in Tahiti will call for a less formal Mother of the Bride dress than an evening celebration at a glitzy city venue. A tasteful floral could be worn to a whimsical garden wedding, and even black is off the taboo list – but get your daughter's nod of approval. Jewel tones, icy pastels and earthy hues are offered by most designers.
A matter of time
Mid-winter nuptials will invite heavier fabrics such as brocade or velvet, while sweltering mid-city afternoons will beg for strapped gowns with open backs and necklines that reveal a little more skin. Jackets can be tailored with formal embellishments of piping or crystals, or you may opt for minimal coverage with a short bolero or a sheer chiffon wrap. The choice is yours.
Here is a quick checklist to look your best on your daughter's wedding day.
Mother of the Bride Dresses
Mother of the bride dresses today are not like they were even twenty years ago. In a word the older styles that were made for mom were dowdy. Most modern mothers simply are not having themselves be presented to the world in something to matronly.
The Power of Persuasion
Keep in mind that you catch far more flies with honey than you do vinegar. Your mom may want to be a little more sexy and hip at your wedding than you want her to. If you do not approach this right way it could easily turn into a huge row. You have to be able to be diplomatic about the situation.
Remember that shopping for mother of the bride dresses is supposed to be fun. So enjoy your time together and offer up honest opinions in a positive manner.
Mother of the Bride Gowns
Mother of the bride dresses can be difficult for mothers to find. The bride might have a specific design in mind of the mother of the bride dress, and her mother desperately wants to please her. Mom has enough stress going on with the wedding and doesn't need the extra worries that go along with finding the perfect mother of the bride gown. Therefore, the bride should be enlisted to help select the mother of the bride dress. The dress should be chosen after the bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses are picked so that the mother of the bride dress will fit in with the overall color scheme.

Bold and Graphic
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Love this. Graphic and textural, it almost makes me feel like I'm walking into a comic. Often reserved for large spaces, this bold approach can work beautifully in small rooms as well. This bathroom designed by Laplace and Co., carefully balances the visual activity. The simple edging of the cabinet doors and drawers delineates an otherwise monolithic wall, and creates for me, a sort of 'pop art' experience. There's a lot going on here in this small, artful space. The contrasts are what makes the room. The vintage bathroom sinks paired with clean modern lines and glass shower enclosure. The movement and graphic character of the stone wall juxtaposed against the bold clarity of the storage wall. Great light in a small space doesn't hurt either. What fun.

Senate bill 228, allows the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs to create training and education programs for employees working within veterans facilities.
Simpson says, during a study on veterans care centers across the state one of the main complaints was a lack of education and training for staff members.
The measure now heads to the full senate for approval.

Viewing 1 to 3 (3 Total)Ghost Train

We get at least one new train next year! And it's steam!
Granted, it looks like it's not yet the kind of train that actually runs on track, but that's what mods are for.
Since I like Halloween AND trains, I'm enthusiastic.

re: Ghost Train
As a theme Monster Fighters is really growing on me. The figs a cool, there are a lot of great parts, and the sets look like they will be a lot of fun to play with. The train however doesn't thrill me so much. I don't necessarily think it's a bad set. It's very much in keeping with the Monster Fighters theme and I'm sure it will be a fun set for kids to build and play with. But it's not the kind of train that makes the RR geek in me all happy and giddy. I'm not really in to fantasy trains.
There is one bright spot for me in it though. It uses the Emerald Night drivers and now that the EN is gone this will be the only place to get them. And unless LEGO has changed the mold we'll still be getting a pair of blind drivers too (even though the model doesn't use them) just like we did with the toy story train. We'll also be getting the cowcatcher in black again. Though I don't have much use for that piece it's still great that LEGO is keeping it and the EN drivers available.
I'm probably going to pick up at least one to cannibalize for parts though. Now if we can just get a proper steam train set again.

Birth Place: Australia
Born on Apr. 23, 1955 the youngest of three, Davis has admitted to suffering a repressed childhood, in part due to her family's staunch Catholicism but also tempered by the remoteness of Perth, Australia, where she was raised. After dropping out of convent school, she joined a rock and blues band and toured Asia. Returning home, Davis eventually enrolled at Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), where she appeared as Juliet to Mel Gibson's Romeo. With stage experience and a one-line role in 1977's "High Rolling," she auditioned for and won the star-making role of Sybylla Melvyn, the headstrong anti-heroine, of "My Brilliant Career" (1978).

Jessica Alba (Sep 29th, 2012)
Jessica Alba sported a braided ponytail at the 2012 Environmental Media Awards.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Start with a deep side part.
Step 2: Separate hair into two sections with one starting down the side part and diagonally moving down to behind the other ear.
Step 3: Starting with the thinner section, French braid down the side and moving down the back of the head. Instead of braiding down the remaining hair, leave loose so you can gather in the ponytail.
Step 4: Gather all of the hair into a tight ponytail.
Step 5: Use a strand from the pony and wrap around the hair to hide the elastic.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Finn Comfort: The Worlds Best Walking Shoe
Why is Finn Comfort Called "The World's Best Walking Shoe"?
Finn Comfort shoes are the longstanding go-to standard in walking footwear for the sophisticated audience. Since its foundation in 1945 and still to this day, each of their one million plus pairs of shoes made each year is handmade in the original factory located in Bavaria, a state in the southeast corner of Germany. They are then shipped to more than 35 countries across the world. Movement and breathability, natural and comfortable materials, orthopedic support, a physically accurate fit, scientifically designed foot beds, and more features than you can keep up with make this dedicated company the ultimate walking shoe guru for continued foot health.
When you purchase a pair of Finn Comfort footwear, you are not buying a pair of shoes to wear for a little while and then toss them in the trash or in the giveaway corner of your closet. You are securing your orthopedic health for years to come by investing in a product that is designed to be fully repairable. All Finn Comfort shoes can be re-soled, both inside and out, and feature durable leather uppers and lining, which is not only sturdy but comfortably breathable as well. With proper care, you can wear your favorite Finn Comfort shoes every day for years and never have to throw them away.
Medically Sensible
The company makes use of up-to-date medical research and technology to create an entirely anatomically correct shoe. The carefully molded contours and ergonomic materials promote happy and healthy feet. But it does not stop at foot health. When your feet are healthy, comfortable, and positioned correctly, the even weight distribution and improved posture that follows also contributes to bone and muscle health and eases the tension on your spine and stressed joints, like your hips and knees.
Finn Comfort: Naturally Healthy – Inside and Out
Suede linings along with vented cork and latex foot beds are absorbent and porous, allowing air circulation so your feet can stay cool and comfy for hours. Linings are made from organically tanned leather and other materials used, like cork and latex, are highly sustainable. You also get years and years of use out of them rather than adding them to the nearest landfill, making them as environmentally friendly as they are foot friendly. The molded foot beds promote arch support and ensure the proper heel-to-toe motion with each step. Plus, they are removable and can be hand-washed for added convenience and hygiene.
Moving to the outside of the shoe, a curved and reinforced heel provides heel-to-toe guidance and a secure fitting. A lightweight polyurethane outsole with a concave heel is durable, flexible, and easy on your joints. The components of each shoe are flexible, hand-stitched, softly padded, and ventilated to eliminate unnecessary pressure and ensure the ultimate in breathability, comfort, health, and hygiene. The overall shape of each style of shoe is perfectly rounded and unbinding to reflect the natural shape of your foot.
In the world of orthopedic footwear, it is no wonder that Finn Comfort shoes take home the trophy as the best high-quality walking shoe that money can buy.

"The telemetry (wireless) heart rate system depends on a strong, clear signal being presented from the chest strap transmitter to the receiver inside the equipment console. In order to present a clear signal, you should correctly position the chest strap snugly against your body. (See your Owner's Manual for details). Moist skin helps the transmitter strap make good contact, so perspiration or even dabbing a bit of water onto your skin may help.
"Touch heart rate readings depend on a strong, clear pulse to be read from your hands. In order to generate a clear signal, gently grasp the sensors. Do not tightly squeeze them, as this will negatively affect the pulse in your hands, making it more difficult for the sensors to get a good reading.
The sensors will be more successful if your hands are warm and moist. If you have difficulty getting a reading right away, try again after a few minutes of working out. Typically exercise will cause most people's hands to become warm and moist.
