- Ben Barba - Currently the most exciting attacking player in the world IMO. Brilliant feet, great pace, great support. Even his defensive play has come on leaps and bounds last season under Des Hasler.
- Ryan Hall - Power, pace and an ability to score tries in big games.
- Greg Inglis - I know he played most of the year at Full back, but how can you leave someone like him out!
- Callum Watkins - Inexperienced I know but he is big, quick and agile, someone who has the potential to cause real problems for any defence.
- Akuila Uate - Brute of player, can go around or over the top of defenders. Had a bit of a dip in mid-season but came back strongly
- Jonathan Thurston - Can single handedly dictate games and often needs to for the Cowboys. Has all the skills with hand and boot at his disposal.
- Cooper Cronk - Similar to Thurston with his game awareness and has become the key component of the Melbourne triangle of Smith, Slater, Cronk.
- James Tamou - Should really be paying for NZ but no wonder the Aussies wanted him. Makes massive metres, has the speed of a back row and hits hard.
- Isaac Luke - Terrier like player. Tackles well above his weight and bamboozles defenders from dummy half. Honourable mention to the machine that is James Roby.
- Sam Burgess - At either prop or second row is always consistent when on the field. Great ball skills for a big bloke and a massive tackler (although the shoulder charge ban will affect his game more than most).
- Nate Myles - Workhorse player who was man of the Origin series does a lot of the unsung toil.
- Ben Westwood - Tough as they come. Happy to roll his sleeves up in the middle or skillfull enough to operate on the edges.
- Paul Gallen - Can play anywhere in the pack but 13 gives him the opportunity to do what he does best, go looking for the ball and making massive metres. Always up for a bit of biff as well!

Have you heard of S.Tomkins?
Would probably be my number three fullback after Barba and Inglis. Brilliant in attack but very suspect defensively for me.

From left field I know, but I don't think its been a vintage year for centres.

Full Back - Billy Slater. Best full back in the world IMO. His attacking game is as good as anybody elses aswell as positionally and defencively he is top notch. Reads the game exceptionally well which people seem to forget since he has such an attacking threat. Barba and Tomkins are as good in attack but lack the all round game that Slater has.
Winger - Ryan Hall. Proven season after season he is a quality try scorer. Proved himself against the worlds best opposition against Australia and New Zealand in the four nations and proved it again in the WCC with a great 2 try performance to take the title against Manly.
Centre - Josh Morris. I think he's been brilliant this season and a massive factor in the Bulldogs success this year. A massive attacking threat and one of the most defencively sound centres in the NRL.
Centre - Greg Inglis. Obviously the sheer power of the man is the reason behind his success. At full flight he is virtually unstoppable. Had a great season for souths at full back but even at centre he is arguably the best in the world.
Winger - Nathan Merrit. Had a great season for souths and scored some brilliant tries. Very enjoyable too watch also. I think they're isnt many World Class wingers in the world. Uates performance in SOO just has lessened my opinion of him as he looked so out classed it was unreal.
Stand Off - Cooper Cronk. Oustanding for melbourne this year and some of the stuff he does is just genius. Cool under pressure as showed in SOO 3 and has played consistently well all season. I feel he is a better player than Marshall and can do the things Benji does but makes them look so easy.
Scrum Half Jonathan Thurston. Pretty much same as Cronk but for the Cowboys. Plays consistently well and just oozes confidence on the top stage. Had to fill in for the great Darren Lockyer for queensland but didn't look a second out of place doing it.
Prop - James Tamou. Had a great season in the NRL. Arguably the best prop. Stood out in many of the games he played.
Hooker - Cameron Smith. Best hooker in the world definitely. He out does Robbie Farah in the sense of how easily he controls a game and gets through just as much work as Farah. His disribution also sets him a class apart from James Roby.
Prop - James Graham. Despite the alleged bite in the GF Graham was exceptional this season. Stepped up to the intensity easily despite playing in an unfamiliar role of coming off the bench. The Bulldogs will miss him at the start of next season.
Second Row - Nathan Hindmarsh. Gets through an absolute tonne of work in every NRL game. It feels like he gets involved in every tackle when watching him play. Also good going forward and will always take the ball up.
Second Row - Sam Burgess. On ball returns it looks like he plays ten pin bowling with his opponents the speed he runs at several opponents. Obviously injuries have been his downfall, but on his day he is undoubtly one of the best second rowers in the world.
Loose Forward - Paul Gallen. Absolute quality in every aspect. The amount of work he gets through is unreal. He works so hard and is a great leader. Cronulla would be lost without him.

Slater??? Tomkins is probably a better full back than Inglis so I'd still put him third. Slater is a class above all. Putting Watkins in that team is just madness. He's not even in the top 10 centres.

thats a world class description
Badly worded but its true. So many Wingers have flaws in there game. Maybe its a harder position than people think. Uate was exceptionally bad at Origin. Brett Morris was average this year. Vatuvei can't pass or tackle. Boyd has always been overated in my opinion.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 09:15 AM
Full Back – Billy Slater- Still the best all round full back in the world, no-one yet comes close.
Wing – Brent Tate - May be getting on now but has been fantastic this year, especially in Origin
Centre – Greg Inglis - May be playing full back but is still the best centre bar none in world rugby. A game breaker in his own right who inspired the Bunnies this year.
Centre – Jamie Lyon – May have shunned representative honours but yet another stunning season for the Sea Eagles. A cool head who can see things long before other players. His ability to read the game is better than anyone else currently playing.
Wing – Brett Morris – Overlooked at first for Origin and admittedly not had as good a year as 2011 but still a top class player and fantastic finisher.
Stand Off – Jonathan Thurston – Has everything you would ever want in a half back, great kicking & passing game and leads the team around the field brilliantly. Add in his fantastic goal kicking and it makes him one of the most complete players in the world.
Cooper Cronk – Had another fantastic year for Melbourne and has stepped effortlessly into the number 7 shirt for Queensland & Australia.
Prop – James Graham – Even the Aussies voted him as being the best prop in the NRL this year. Stunning first season with the Doggies and he's developed his game under the coaching of Des Hassler.
Hooker – Cameron Smith – The real leader and Architect of the Melbourne team and the one they miss most when he's not there. Dictates play and leads the forwards around brilliantly at club, Origin and International level.
Prop – Ben Matulino – For me the stand out prop in the NRL this year. He's big, fast & strong and is the cornerstone of the Warriors pack. Makes massive metres and hits hard.
2nd Row – Jeremy Smith – Traditional hard running, ferocious tackling back rower. One of the reasons the Sharks had such a good year as he motivates & leads the pack forward. He often walks a fine line with some of his play but strikes fear into opposition forwards.
2nd Row – Feleti Mateo – The best off-loader in the world bar none. Doesn't have the legs to play 80mins anymore but wreaks havoc in opposition defences with his ability to get the ball away in near impossible situations. His ability to create something out of nothing as a joy to watch.
Loose Forward – Paul Gallen – The epitomy of a modern day RL player. Tough as teak with the best engine in the game. Never gives up and terrorises the opposition forwards.
My second choice 13 would be:-
Full Back – Ben Barba – Stunning year with the Doggies and the most explosive & exciting player to watch in the NRL
Wing – Ryan Hall – Great year with Leeds and a proven finisher at club and International level
Centre – Josh Morris – Showed his real class this year with the doggies and the real go-to man for them. Also had a fantastic origin with only Inglis bettering him in the centre position throughout the series.
Centre – Krisnan Inu – Started the year as a Warriors reject but had a stunning season with the doggies. Formed a lethal centre partnership with Morris and had the ability to open up opposition defences at will. Special mention should also go to Konrad Hurrell, stunning 1st year at the Warriors and a real joy to watch him trampling over the opposition.
Wing – Akila Uate – Struggled early season and had a shaky Origin series but is great to watch. Has pace & power with the ability to score from anywhere.
Stand Off – Josh Reynolds – Grasped his chance with the doggies and was the play maker in chief for them. Provided a good link between forwards & backs, controlled play with his kicking and scored some good individual try's.
Scrum Half – Shaun Johnson – Had a bit of an up & down season but on his day is absolutely unplayable. Electric pace with an eye for a gap, has also started to develop the other parts of his game this year.
Prop – James Tamou – Real stand out this year with a massive impact at Origin & International level
Hooker – James Roby – Another great year for Saints. Stunning workrate with the ability to open up defences from acting half.
Prop – Sam Burgess – Hard running & hard hitting. Leads the Bunnies pack brilliantly and is getting better every year.
2nd Row – Sam Thaiday – Has taken on the leadership role at the Bronco's and is strong runner capable of busting through the toughest of defences.
2nd Row – Nate Myles – Not flash but does exactly what it says on the tin. Carried the Titans pack this year and had a great Origin series.
Loose Forward – Matt Gillett – Had a real breakthrough season for the Bronco's with some tough tackling & strong running performances, earning himself an Origin call up.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 02:41 PM
Winger - Ryan Hall - The best winger in either code of rugby. No other winger or full back will enjoy seeing him running at them. Ask the world's best full back if he enjoys "tackling" WBW.
Centre - Greg Inglis - Quality at full back for the Bunnies but he is still the best Centre in the world. GI in full flight is a sight to behold unless he's in the Green & Gold against England. That 1st half at Wigan still hurts!
Centre - Josh Morris - He's had a big season for the Dogs. A strong attacking and defensive Centre. .
Winger - Nathan Merritt - In my World XIII mainly because I'm a Souths fan. He should have more representative honours so I've put him in my team to make up for being overlooked by NSW and Aussie selectors. He is a good player as well though. Always amongst the top try scorers even when Souths were pants.
Stand Off - Jonathan Thurston - Whenever the Cowboys, Queensland or Australia need something to happen, he's the man. His kicking ain't too shabby either.
Scrum Half - Cooper Cronk - Benji Marshall may sometimes show more flair but a team needs consistency and Cronk brings that and flair. Plus my wife thinks he has the greatest name in sport!
Prop - James Tamou - Best Prop in the game. Makes good metres with ball in hand and a big defensive player.
Hooker - Cameron Smith - Without a doubt the best hooker in the world. He controls a game so well it sometimes looks like it's easy. He does the simple things exceptionally well and makes the exceptional look simple. Quality!
Prop - James Graham - Forget the fallout from the Grand Final, Graham has been brilliant for the Dogs. Canterbury up their game when he comes off the bench.
Second Row - Sam Burgess - When fit no other 2nd row comes close to what he brings to the team. Massive in attack and defence.
Second Row - Dave Taylor - Personally I love watching The Coal Train taking the ball up out wide. Great hands for a big man. Souths will miss him.
Loose Forward - Paul Gallen - Never seems to have a bad game. A great leader at Cronulla. The Sharks would be a very poor side without him.

Brett Morris- Tough one but he still is probably the best winger over the past few seasons. Hall is good but I dont think he was that good in 2012 and he should move to the NRL to test himself against the worlds best.
Greg Inglis- A beast of a man who is like lightening, built like a truck and has great hands for a big man.
Jamie Lyon- Quality player who keeps on performing the goods over the years.
Ryan Hall-Very good winger but wasted in SL where he has no real competition. Should go to the NRL.
Jonathon Thurston- Quality in every game he plays and has stepped into Lockyers boots with ease.
Cooper Cronk- His abilty to read the game so well and just pass and know slater and co are there without looking is legendary. His kicks are pin point and the best kicker in the game.
James Tamou- A massive year again and has been so consistant.
Cameron Smith- Controls the game and its like the coach is playing himself when smith is there organizing. Knows exactly what needs to be done and is as cool as ice and never loses it.
Ben Matulino- What a beast. Smashes people no matter who they are week in week out. Makes metres for fun. Dont think there is anybody better at doing there job and so consistantly as him.
Nate Myles- Underrated I feel but another real powerhouse. His efforts in SoO were outstanding and he is a massive presence both for the Titans and the Queenslanders this year.
Sam Thaiday- Another guy who just gets stuck in and does his job so well. Always makes good metres and tackles hard. Not frightened of getting stuck in. Somebody you want in your team rather than play against
Paul Gallen- A machine! Massive effort every time he plays. Loads of tackles, loads of metres and real in your face attitude. Nobody near to Gallen at Lock.

Among the British, Tomkins, Hall, Graham, Burgess and possibly Roby (not Ellis) would be in with a shout, though probably any World XIII wouldn't have more than a couple of British players.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 10:44 PM
2. Brett Morris - great season both domestic and SOO
3. Jamie Lyon - clearly the best centre in the world a player with so much class it is unreal
4. Greg Inglis - when "on" the best attacking player in the world unstoppable
5. Ryan Hall - great finisher, so solid no weakness and so consistant
6. Jon Thurstan - great player to watch can pull something out of nothing whenever he needs to
7. Cooper Cronk - great all round player gets in because of a of overall weakness in the position world wide currently
8. Matt Scott - solid prop in all facits of the game
9. Cam Smith - fantastic clever player
10.James Graham - great work rate and has changed forward play in Australia with his ball handling
11.Sam Burgess - injury free the guy is a force to be reckoned with
12.Frank Pritchard - close with Tony Williams but just went for the "tank"
13.Paul Gallan - easiest selection of the night.
Would be my team.

Car Wars: Why GM's a Better Buy Than Ford
It's an obvious, inevitable question: GM or Ford? On one view, Ford -- with its solid line of hit products and bailout-free balance sheet -- is the fiscally responsible choice. But the company known until recently as "Government Motors," trading right now in the low $20 range, is turning itself around and qualifies not only as a buy, but a steal.

DESCRIPTION: The GUI API extension provides you with an easy means to develop complex and dynamic interfaces, advanced event handling, and a completely new way to design and organize your code.
GM VERSION: 8.1 (Possibly compliant with earlier versions, but not sure)
REGISTERED: YES (requires PRO)
FILE TYPE: .zip
FILE LINK: http://www.upurload....7942352cc76.zip
***CREDIT must be given to iam1me if used. However, you are completely free to use, modify, extend, and redistribute (requiring due credit be given to me) this code as you like.***
- A bug was fixed involving the use of sprites
- A small memory leak was fixed
- Labels have been added to the GUI API
For the past couple of weeks I have been working on a GUI API using pure GML. My inspiration for this extension comes both from my programming background, especially with Java, and the fact that I am using GM for a semester long project and so I needed to have a strong, organized, and flexible code base from which to build upon. I suspect that the people who will be most inclined to use this extension are my fellow programmers - and it will also benefit those who want to move from GM to other languages, especially Java.
Now, there are many Widget extensions available that provide you with things like menus, text boxes, fancy buttons, etc. The GUI API, however, is a bit different. This extension (currently) provides the following: panels, layout managers, advanced (& custom) event handling, and essentially a whole new way of designing and organizing your code. Of course, widgets are an essential part of any GUI, and so these will be added in as I have time and if I see that people are interested. I maybe incorporating BBGaming's Game Widgets extension, modified for this API, in a later release. Ultimately, I plan on releasing this as a GEX - but for now at least I will leave it as a Script extension. Unfortunately, when I exported the scripts it removed all of my folders... but its still fairly organized due to a consistent naming convention.
The zip file contains a few different files: GUI_API.gml, GUI_API_CONSTANTS.txt, GA_example.gm81, GA_example.exe, and screen_shot_example.png. The names should be fairly self-explanatory. When using the GUI_API, you must import both the GUI_API.gml file as well as the GUI_API_CONSTANTS.txt file. You must also make sure to call the script include_GUI_API() somewhere in your code BEFORE attempting to use anything else in the extension.
The GUI_Object is the base object for all of the extensions GUI instances. It routes all of the local event handling to appropriate scripts such that each instance is automatically synced with the advanced event handling system provided by the GUI API. The user of this GUI_API should NOT change or add events to the GUI_Object - rather they should use the event handling system which I will describe below. Nor, for that matter should you inherit from this instance - rather create an instance of it and make changes only to the instance.
A new GUI_Object should be created using the script: GA_object_create(x,y,width,height). This script will return the id of a new instance of the GUI_Object. If you would like to specify a draw script, there is a draw_script variable for each GUI_Object which you are free to set - but do NOT clear or add an event script using object_event_add.
If a change is made to your instance which would cause a visual difference and has been added to a panel, call GA_object_invalidate(GUI_Object id) in order to invalidate the object and its parents so that they will be redrawn.
A GUI_Object can very easily be setup to only draw itself in certain views, if views are enabled. Simply call the GA_object_set_views(GUI_Object id, view flags); to specify which views it should draw itself under. By default it will draw itself under view zero. The script accepts an integer, and it uses the first 8 bits to represent each of the 8 views. The constants file contains constants such as VIEW_0, VIEW_1, VIEW_2, etc. Use these as your parameter. If you want to use multiple views for a single GUI_Object, simply OR them together. For instance, if I wanted my GUI_Object called example to be drawn in views 3 & 7, I would write: GA_object_set_views(example, VIEW_3 | VIEW_7). This can be used to easily make a Heads Up Display!!!
LABELS (As of Version 1.05)
Most GUIs require the use of labels, of text. Sometimes a sprite can suffice, but not if that text needs to change throughout the game, like a life/score counter. You can easily create a label by using the GA_label_create(text,font id) command. You can customize a label by settings its various properties: autoresize, color, bgcolor, font, and text. You can set these using commands like GA_label_set_color(label id, color) or GA_label_set_font(label id, font id). Remember that, for font, -1 defaults to 12pt Arial.
A panel is a GUI_Object with some added variables and functionality. A panel is a special GUI_Object which can contain other GUI_Objects, and arrange them using a Layout. To create a new panel use the GA_panel_create() script. Do not place anything apart from GUI_Objects into a panel. You may place panels within panels.
Instances that are inserted into a panel will be clipped in so far as they exceed the visual boundaries of the panel. Instances will also no longer draw themselves, rather the panel will draw them as need be. The GUI_API takes advantage of surfaces in order to limit the amount of drawing done every frame. A panel will only redraw itself and its children if it becomes invalidated. Note: if a child becomes invalidated it will invalidate its parent.
Note: since a panel controls the drawing of its children, only the panels view settings will be taken into account. Thus if the panel is setup to be drawn in view 0, but a child is setup to be drawn in view 1, the child will be drawn in view 0 and nothing will be drawn in view 1.
Panels provide coding organization. When a panel is destroyed, it destroys all of its children. This limits how many instance ids you need to keep track of. Of course, if you don't want one destroyed, you can always remove it from the panel before hand.
To add an item use the GA_panel_child_add(panel id, child id) script, and to remove an item use the GA_panel_child_remove(panel id, child id) script.
More importantly, panels provide visual organization using Layouts. Layouts automatically organize a panels children based upon various settings. Layouts are dynamic: they organize the children of a panel as they are added/removed/etc. The GUI API currently provides two Layouts: the FlowLayout & StackLayout.
To set a layout to a panel, use the GA_panel_set_layout(panel id, layout id) script.
The Flow Layout arranges a panels children on row first basis. By default, the flow layout will arrange children going from left to right, top to bottom, and left aligned. When one row is filled, it goes to the next row. To create a new flow layout, use the GA_layout_flow_create() script.
You can customize the flow layout by using such scripts as GA_layout_flow_set_valign(layout id, valign value) & GA_layout_flow_set_hgap(layout id, horizontal gap in pixels). You can set the following settings: halign, valign, hdir, vdir, hgap, and vgap.
For halign use the constants: LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT. For valign use: TOP, CENTER, BOTTOM. For hdir use : LEFT_TO_RIGHT & RIGHT_TO_LEFT. For vdir use: TOP_TO_BOTTOM & BOTTOM_TO_TOP.
hgap can be any number (should be positive) and represents the # of pixels between any two items horizontally. vgap is very similar but represents the # of pixels between rows vertically.
The Stack Layout is very similar to the Flow Layout, but inversed. The Stack Layout lays out items column first. By default it lays out items going from the top down, left to right, top-left aligned. It has all the same variables and settings as the Flow Layout, though they are implemented slightly differently. To create a new stack layout, use the GA_layout_stack_create() script.
By placing panels inside of panels and giving each panel different layouts, you can achieve many different visual affects.
In the example file included in the .zip, I combine the flow and stack layouts in order to vertically and horizontally center 3 panels of different colors and size.
This will perhaps be the biggest attraction for my GUI API. The event handling provided by GML is extremely limiting: they aren't dynamic, they must be assigned to objects rather than instances, and only one instance can listen to any given event (apart from global events). You are also extremely limited in writing custom events. My GUI API breaks all of these barriers, and it doesn't use up any of your 15 custom user events.
In order for an instance to fire events, and have other instances listen for these events, it must have a variable called event_listeners which holds the id of a valid ds_map.
In order to add a listener to an event, call GA_event_add_listener(source id, event id, listener id, script id). The Source is the instance that fires the event, the event id is a number that uniquely identifies the event (example: ev_left_button), the listener id is the id of an instance that is responding to the event, and script id is the id of a script to run when the event is fired. When the event is fired, the scope will be set to the listener before running the script. Any number of listeners can be added to any event, though each listener can only have one script per event per source.
While the event id you specify can be any of the built in event constants, it can also be a custom id for a custom event. Just make sure that your event ids don't overlap with the built in event types or the GUI_APIs constants. I suggest starting off custom event ids at 2000.
An event can then be fired using the GA_event_fire(source id, event id, event_args id) script. Event_args should be an instance of the EventArgs Object, which you can create by calling GA_event_args_create(source id, event id). When an event is fired, the event args is put onto a global event stack. This allows listening scripts to grab data about an event. This also allows you to provide as much information as you need about an event, by adding local variables to the event args instance. In order to grab the latest event args instance, use GA_event_get_args(); Make sure that after you call the fire function, that you then delete the event_args instance.
Within the GUI_API, I use this to provide a few different custom events: ev_layout_modified, ev_child_added, and ev_child_removed.
Even if you don't use any of the rest of the GUI_API, you can use this in isolation of the rest.
Please tell me what you think. Will you use it? How would you like to see it improved? Any bugs?

The group returns to the Princess for a fourth year and features classical guitarist Phil Weaver of Huntsville, mandolin and classical guitarist Emily Jones of Decatur, jazz trumpeter Ken Watters and pianist Ingrid von Spakovsky. Storyteller Bruce Walker will be a special guest in a format similar to Prairie Home Companion. WLRH FM Public Radio is a collaborating partner to help promote the top musical artists in our north Alabama area. Highlighting the program is a Civil War story accompanied by Jay Ungar's Ashokan Farewell. Music will include jazz, classical, flamenco, Brazilian, and Mason Williams' hit Classical Gas. With the goal of making classical music accessible to an ever-widening audience, these artists have created an acoustic, cabaret-style concert that reflects the varying musical genres of the artists. Classical guitarist Phil Weaver has been performing for over 30 years, in the United States and abroad. He was the first guitarist to be awarded an individual artist's fellowship from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, and is one of the few classical musicians on the Music Achievers roster at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. With the goal of making classical music accessible to an ever-widening audience, Phil has created a series of cabaret-style concerts in collaboration with a variety of artists from dancers to visual artists to fellow musicians steeped in different musical genres. This past season he performed Mahler's 7th Symphony with both the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra and the Louisiana Philharmonic. Phil Weaver is the founder and artistic director of the City Lights and Stars Series for Burritt Museum in Huntsville, an extremely popular outdoor concert series that presents nationally and regionally renowned artists.

Bruce Walker is a nationally know storyteller who has performed at the storytelling series at St. John's Cathedral in New York City as well as the University of Alabama, a conference in Norway, Farmer's Opry, and National Public Radio. Fast paced and off the wall, Bruce's stories delight and entertain, while slipping you a to-go box of memories to munch on later. "When I listen to Bruce spin a story, I travel across time and space to a magical place where I can see, hear, smell, and taste what he is telling. From the moment Bruce begins to speak, the audience is mesmerized...laughter, tears, and a longing to visit Walkers Bend again and often." -Renee Morrison. He attended Auburn University Montgomery and the East Tennessee State University Storytelling Institute. Bruce and Joan (his wife of thirty-five years and in charge of letting him out) make Huntsville, Alabama their home. Ingrid von Spakovsky has a Master of Music Degree in Piano Performance from the University of Illinois where her teachers included Joel Shapiro, William Heiles, and Soulima Stravinsky.

Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Surgery Overview
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are surgeries that remove the tonsils or adenoids. These surgeries are:
- Used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children.
- Rarely used to treat snoring in adults.
- Not used to treat snoring in children.
The surgeries typically require a stay in the hospital.
What To Expect After Surgery
You may need close monitoring after surgery. Your doctor or surgeon will watch:
- For throat swelling, nerve injury, and sleepiness. The surgery itself and the medicines that are used during surgery can cause this.
- Your blood oxygen levels during the first 2 to 3 nights after surgery.
Children who are younger than 3 years and who have other medical conditions, such as Down syndrome, are more likely to have complications, especially difficulty breathing. These children may need oxygen therapy or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy after surgery.
Why It Is Done
Your doctor may suggest tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy to treat sleep apnea if you have enlarged tonsils and adenoids that are blocking your airway during sleep. This is often the first treatment option for children, because enlarged tonsils and adenoids are usually the cause of their sleep apnea.
How Well It Works
Children who have a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy to treat sleep apnea usually have a noticeable improvement in their symptoms within 6 months of the surgery. Parents have reported decreases in:
- Snoring, coughing, and colds.
- Overactivity (hyperactivity) and other behavioral problems.
- Restless sleep.
In children, these procedures appear to be successful in treating obstructive sleep apnea 75% to 100% of the time, even if the child is obese.1
After a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, your throat will be sore. This can make eating and swallowing difficult for a few days. Other possible complications after surgery include:
- Infection.
- Excessive bleeding. (Some bleeding is expected.)
What To Think About
Snoring is not always considered a medical problem, so your insurance may not pay for treatment.
Simply looking at the size of your tonsils and adenoids cannot predict whether you will have snoring or breathing problems.
If you have other health problems, your doctor may have to treat them before you have this surgery.
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are the most common treatments for children who have obstructive sleep apnea.
- Children who have certain health problems that cause bony deformities of the face and head, such as dwarfism or Down syndrome, may need close monitoring before surgery. Also, children who have nervous and muscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy, or who have a head injury may need to be monitored closely before surgery.
- Children who have other conditions, such as asthma, upper respiratory infections, and heart problems, need to be treated for those conditions before and after surgery to reduce the risk of complications.

Beyond that, try the Chamail/SK2 SS combo third and 4th SSs. Undeads generally make short work of bigs outside of Rasam, so a one-way 50 damage fieldwipe can be especially brutal when facing down an army of buffed undeads.

|Serial RTCs
|Like ST's TIMEKEEPER® NVRAMs, Serial RTCs keep track of day-date-time, even in the absence of power. Instead of the standard asynchronous parallel SRAM interface, Serial RTCs use a serial bus. Our devices are available in two industry standard serial interfaces: I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface).
|STMicroelectronics ZEROPOWER products integrate low power SRAMs with a power-fail control circuit and a long-life lithium battery. The power-fail circuit monitors the external power supply voltage. If this falls below a specific threshold it automatically write-protects the SRAM and switches the standby power supply to the internal lithium battery. The advantage is long term data retention with fast READ/WRITE times and unlimited READ/WRITE cycles of standard SRAMs.
|STMicroelectronics TIMEKEEPER products add a quartz crystal, very low power oscillator and a clock/calendar circuit to provide real-time data. Advanced TIMEKEEPERs include additional features such as programmable alarms, watchdog timers, system reset outputs and battery low warning flags.
|TIMEKEEPER Supervisors
|TIMEKEEPER Supervisors convert standard low-power SRAM devices into non-volatile memory. They provide control and battery backup from 1Mbit to 16Mbit external low power SRAM with up to 10 years of data retention, depending on the Supervisor, battery and SRAM type selected.

We're gathering details on animal abuse allegations at four turkey plants in the east, all owned by Butterball.
The group Mercy For Animals says it has video evidence from Butterball plants in Onslow, Lenoir, Duplin, and Sampson Counties of workers stomping and kicking live turkeys.
Garner-based Butterball released this statement, "Upon learning of these new concerns, we immediately initiated an internal investigation and suspended the associates in question." That's according to the News and Observer.
Local law enforcement are said to be investigating.
Butterball is the largest turkey producer in the United States, accounting for 20 percent of total turkey production in the country. According to Butterball's website, its plant in Mt. Olive is the world's largest turkey plant.

As the gun control debate across America heats up, and mayors, college presidents, parents in Newtown, Connecticut and politicians call for more restrictions, the National Rifle Association has entered the fray with a call of its own: Equip every school in the country with an armed police officer. And if doing that is cost prohibitive, a Maine gun owners group is also suggesting that school administrators be allowed to carry concealed weapons of their own. Susan Sharon has more.
In Lewiston, Maine's second-largest city, full-time police officers are already assigned to the high school and middle school. Another officer divides his time between Lewiston's six elementary schools. A similar arrangement is in place for the neighboring city of Auburn.
In fact, many schools in Maine already have police officers assigned to schools. A spokesman for the Maine Department of Education says there is no firm count of how many are in place. Still, Lewiston School Superintendent Ed Webster says the presence of these so-called "school resource officers" have been helpful in important ways.
"Number one, those relationships they develop with students carry on to later in life when those students become adults in the community, and that healthy relationship is important," Webster says. "I think also their presence is a calming influence."
Both Webster and Deputy Auburn Police Chief Jason Moen say the resource officers have helped diffuse potentially violent situations and may act as a deterrent in some cases.
But it's not clear that even a trained police officer could have stopped gunman Adam Lanza's deadly rampage at Sandy Hook. Lanza was heavily armed. In addition, Moen says providing school resource officers carries a fairly high price tag.
"Those costs are estimated at about $75,000 in start-up fees between the time you figure training the officer, equipping the officer, the officer's salary," Moen says. "Those first year costs average about $75,000."
Auburn has had resource officers in place for more than 15 years. Moen himself was one. So was his chief. And the department continues to help foot the bill. But for other schools that have not yet made the financial commitment, the NRA has a proposed solution. Here's Wayne LaPierre, the group's executive vice president speaking at a news conference Friday:
"I call on Congress today to act immediately to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every single school in this nation," LaPierre said. "And to do it now. To make sure that blanket safety is in place when our kids return to school in January."
Lewiston School Superintendent Ed Webster says he does not object to trained security guards being present in more schools. What he does oppose is another idea being suggested by the Maine Gun Owners Association and other groups around the country: to allow teachers to train and qualify to carry concealed firearms on school grounds.
"I don't see how someone can be well-trained to respond with a firearm and be as effective as a teacher in the classroom," Webster days. "I think just as we are not sending an army to Afghanistan that's made up of untrained civilians, I just - it's the wrong message, I do believe."
The president of the Maine Gun Owners Association, Jeff Weinstein, says teachers should simply be given the option of carrying a concealed weapon. He points out that they, not the police, are the first line of defense in school emergencies.
"Between the time the call is made and the police arrive, chances are there will be a lot of bodies around, as has been the case, by the way, the last several years," Weinstein says. "So, essentially, you cannot count on the police whatsoever."
Weinstein says he knows teachers who would be willing to carry guns. But the president of the Maine Education Association, which represents 25,000 teachers, administrators and support staff, says she has not witnessed any support among teachers.
"I haven't had any calls from anyone saying that they wanted to have weapons in schools," says Lois Kilby-Chesley. "I've had conversations with people in the last week, certainly, about the situation in Sandy Hook and how sad we all are at what happened. But no one that I've spoken to has said, 'And that's a good reason to have weapons in schools.' In fact, I think the people that I've spoken to, it would be just the opposite - that they feel strongly that schools shouldn't have weapons in them."
Kilby-Chesley says lawmakers at every level of government should dismiss what she calls "this dangerous idea" of filling schools with guns. And in Maine, one lawmaker has done so already. Rep. Brian Duprey says he is no longer interested in sponsoring legislation to allow teachers to carry guns, given the tragedy that has unfolded in Connecticut.
In the interest of full disclosure, the Maine Education Association represents some employees of MPBN.

Tysha is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. She has been mentioned by Tyrion Lannister as his former wife.
When Tyrion Lannister was sixteen years old, he met an orphaned wheelwright's daughter on the road, apparently the victim of an attempted rape. While his brother Jaime rode off after the attackers, Tyrion helped Tysha recover from the ordeal, and they became lovers. They found a drunk septon willing to marry them and briefly, they lived as husband and wife for two weeks, until Tyrions father Lord Tywin learned what had happened from the septon. Jaime confessed that he organized the incident to make his brother happy, and Tysha was actually a prostitute. In a fury that his son would dare to marry a commoner, Tywin had his guards rape Tysha whilst Tyrion was forced to watch. She was then sent on her way.[1]
Since this incident, Tyrion has disdained love and romance in favor of liaisons with prostitutes for money.
Season 1
At the Lannister battle camp, Tyrion Lannister recounts to Bronn and Shae the story of his marriage to Tysha.[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tyrion recounts the story in a very similar manner to the series. He does not tell the story to Bronn and Shae together, but to each of them separately on two different occasions. However, in the series he omits the detail that he was forced to join in the rape on pain of his father's wrath to complete his own humiliation.
In the books, Tysha is orphaned daughter of crofter, not wheelwright's daughter, and Tyrion was thirteen when he met her. A "crofter" is a kind of poor tenant farmer: the TV series may have changed his profession to wheelwright because a general audience might not know what a crofter is.

Greengrass is the surname of a pure-blood[1] wizarding family. They are related to the Malfoy family, and more distantly to the Black and the Lestrange families. The socio-economic status of the Greengrass family is unknown. However, it is most likely they are a very old and wealthy family, belonging to wizarding Britain's privileged upper class, since Draco Malfoy married Astoria Greengrass, and it would be most out-of-character for any member of the Malfoy family to make ties with and/or marry someone they deemed to be of lesser heritage.
Family Members
- Astoria Malfoy née Greengrass — wife of Draco Malfoy, mother of Scorpius Malfoy
- Daphne Greengrass — Astoria's older sister, she was in Harry Potter's year and Slytherin house at Hogwarts, and was one of Pansy Parkinson's gang.
- The surname Greengrass seems to simply come from the words green and grass, emphasising Slytherin's house colours. This would imply the Greengrass family have been traditionally sorted into Slytherin.
Notes and references
- ↑ Astoria Greengrass's son was described as pure-blood by Ron Weasley in the Epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, indicating that Astoria would have been pure-blood herself.

Global Warming: Science Fact or Fiction?
Recorded: Tuesday, February 15, 2000
Is global warming real, imminent, and a threat to human life? Have such predictions been established scientifically? The proposed Global Climate Treaty calls for extensive government controls to reduce fossil fuel use. Yet, there is no scientific consensus to support global-warming pessimism. Would the proposed massive 'carbon' taxes and other controls put our society- especially those most disadvantaged- at great risk? Based on his widely acclaimed book, renowned astrophysicist Fred Singer will separate fact from fiction in this raging global warming debate.

Bingo player John Esparza tells KNTV (http://bit.ly/1cDyFKL) no one was hurt Wednesday night during the robbery at Oak Grove High School. The bingo fundraisers pay for the school band's uniforms and trips to Spain, France and Italy.
The man was wearing a ski mask. He told people he had a gun and took money from the cash box.
Esparza says several people chased the man when they realized what was going on, but he got away. Others called 911.
Esparza says the game ended because there was no cash left to pay winners.

Cartier Watches
The story of Cartier watches begins in 1847, when Louis-Francois Cartier took the reins of his master's workshop. After a move to their famous Paris location and further development of their signature design, Louis Cartier, grandson of Louis-Francois, invented the "mysterious clock." Due to a cunning illusion the hands seemed to float over the face of the clock. Innovation such as this has been the hallmark of Cartier watches ever since, and sets them apart in the design of luxury Swiss watches.

It's what he has come to realize after playing in his fourth and final Florida State-Florida game.And with his Seminoles losing 21-14 to the Gators, Henderson said he was bracing for the inevitable."You get phone calls that you don't want to answer after this game," Henderson said.Henderson isn't the only player from this game who will hear from his childhood friends who are now aligned with the other side of this rivalry. For so many players on both teams, this is the game they will hear about when they go home for the holiday. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

- "Screw you, Mori! Why do you gotta be such a cock?!"
- ― Brucie Kibbutz
No. 3 is the final mission given from Mori Kibbutz in the DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Mori gives headsets to Luis and Brucie for communication for the 'run', and says nothing further about what's about to happen. Luis must go to a garage north of Middle Park where three cars are kept - a yellow Turismo (Mori's car), a blue F620 (Brucie's car) and a red and white Bullet GT (the player's car). The three line up and Mori takes the lead. The player must follow Mori and weave in and out between streets and police cars (as you gain a three-star wanted level, due to Mori tipping off the cops to make things 'interesting').
Mori leads you through a narrow passage which takes skilled and alert driving. A chopper will fly between Luis and Brucie which shouldn't damage the cars. After this, Mori will lead the player to use ramps to jump between a few barges, finally losing the heat.
After returning to land, Luis, now finally free to speak his mind to Mori, berates him over his arrogance, stupidity, lack of empathy and his constant cruelty towards Brucie. Mori at first blows him off, taunting Brucie in the process, calling him the "marshmallow man" and a "pale piece of turd", only for his younger brother to finally snap and, after several exaggerated martial arts movements, punch him in the face, breaking his nose. Mori collapses and begins crying, reminding Brucie "never in the face". Apologizing, and telling Luis he will see him soon, Brucie leads his sobbing and whimpering brother away.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the car park
- Wait for Brucie to get in the car
- Use the button to lower the platform
- Get in the car
- Line up behind the Kibbutz brothers
- Keep up with Mori
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in 5:15
Have less than 20% Car damage
Reach 140 mph Top Speed
Stayed close to the Kibbutz brothers through the pursuit.
Video Walkthrough
- If Luis fails to jump over the barges, he will destroy the car and fail the mission.
- It is suggested in the credits that this event somewhat equalizes Mori and Brucie's relationship, as they are seen sparring with one another (without either acting overly aggressive to the other) in the Fight Club.
- The title is a reference to the GTA IV mission No. 1 given to Niko Bellic by Brucie Kibbutz.
- Other possible reasons for the mission name could come from the three of them hanging out, or that its Mori's third and final mission he gives you. It could also be a reference to the fact that Luis is following third behind Mori and Brucie.
- Mori's Turismo has a horn that beeps the song Dixie that he plays just after the men start driving. It is similar to that of the General Lee, the famed 1969 Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard. The horn sound can also be heard in The Lost and Damned, when calling Terry and Clay for backup.
- There is no possible way to be in front of Brucie or Mori in the race without cheats/hacks.

- You may be looking for Toni Cipriani, the GTA Liberty City Stories protagonist.
Toni is the DJ of several pop stations throughout the Grand Theft Auto series. She has appeared on Flash FM in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, where she has help from DJ Teri. In Grand Theft Auto III, she is the DJ of Flashback FM in Liberty City.
As a DJ of Flashback FM, Toni reminisces about her hedonistic lifestyle during the 1980s, an aspect of her that would be retconned during her appearances on Flash FM.
According to her chatter between songs during her early career in Vice City, Toni is an excited, Valspeak-using party-girl who gets invited on tour buses and to backstage parties, notably to one with Love Fist. However, she expects to do something important with her life by the time she's 30 — an in-series joke, as she is ironically still a radio DJ fifteen years later, in Liberty City's Flashback FM. As further reference to GTA III, Toni mentions in Flash FM that "I was dancing with my lighter and my hair went up like a Christmas tree." on Flash FM, an incident she has since forgotten in GTA III when she claims, "Luckily I've never been [on fire]... I've done a lot of crazy things, I can tell you that... but I've never been on fire... at least not to my knowledge.", and later on she mentions being asked by friends: "Do you remember the 70s and 80s?"; to which she replies, "Well, I certainly don't remember anything else since then!"
Toni appears in the GTA Vice City Stories rendition of Flash FM (circa 1984) as a sidekick for Teri, who seems to be in control of the show. Both Teri and Toni share a mutual hostility with each other and exchange vicious insults regarding the other's sexual and drug habits, with Toni often gaining the upper hand. It is also implied throughout the show that both are under the influence of large amounts of cocaine whilst on the air. It is hinted that Teri, in her mid-twenties, was considered too old to be hosting Flash FM and was probably fired by 1986, a possible spoof of the high turnover rate of MTV VJs due to age, leading to Toni's rise as the sole DJ of the station. Toni may have been named after pop music star Antoinette "Toni" Tennille.
Toni is voiced by Maria Chambers in all her appearances.
- In GTA Vice City Stories, right before the song "The Warrior" ends, she and Teri have never got busted, and Toni stated that she always get pulled over by the police.
- It's unknown how old is she. She could either be in her late teens or early twenties.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (WUSA) -- Fairfax County fire officials say they have identified a man found dead in a Falls Church home on Oct. 29.
According to officials, 62-year-old Christopher Lewis was found while firefighters dug out the fire that morning at the two-story home in the 6600 block of Orland Street.
Lewis reportedly lived inside the home. Firefighters reported seeing hoarding conditions inside the home after getting the fire under control. The second floor collapsed during the fire and the home was a complete loss. Another home nearby also experienced some fire damage on its exterior.
Officials say that the medical examiner will determine Lewis' exact cause of death.
Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
