Hello everyone
I hope that you can help me with a question about replacing my smallest chain ring on my Campy Record triple 50/40/30, I have a Campy Centaur 12/30 cassette with long cage Campy Record RD.
I usually don't use 30 ring a lot, and it is more than enough for me for city commutes . However, with a loaded panniers , the 30 is not good enough for me on some stiff hills. Translated : i am weak and suck at climbing hills .
Can someone tell me if there is any option / 3rd party smaller ring to replace my 30 ring?
Thanks as always!

Redistribution and the Republican Party; Politics; GOP Has to Decide Whether to Accept Governments Role as Redistributor of Income
Ashby, Blake, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
Three leading Republican senators have now indicated that they would be open to additional tax revenue to help balance the budget, even if it means violating their 20-year-old pledge to never increase revenues for the federal government. Could it be that the Republican Party is again moving toward accepting that some redistribution is a necessary part of our modern economy?
The word redistribution has a bad reputation in Republican circles and certainly is something of which to be cautious. But it has also been a key to creating the society we have. We tend not to think about it, but the government redistributes in many different ways. Public education is a form of redistribution, ensuring that even the children of poor parents have access to a quality education. Interstate highways are a form of redistribution, as is federal disaster relief.
Numerous government laws promote income redistribution. The 40- hour work week means more workers are needed for any business. Minimum wage laws put a floor on what must be paid. The right to unionize gives workers leverage to secure better wages. All of these laws combine to cause business owners to pay higher wages than they would have in an unfettered free market all force a redistribution of the benefits of capitalism.
Government redistribution is a result of a compromise our country reached in the 1930s. While parts of the world were turning to socialism, the United States chose democratic capitalism and redistribution instead. This compromise, redistribution, gave our workers the money to buy things and the time to enjoy life. Clever entrepreneurs responded by creating things for people to buy, vacuum cleaners and radios and vacation packages. Yes, the entrepreneurs were a little less wealthy than they would have been because they had to share some of the benefits of their cleverness with their workers, but a virtuous circle was created more money in the hands of workers created markets for more consumer goods, which led to demand for more workers to build the consumer goods.
This compromise, redistribution, helped us to grow to be one of the most prosperous nations. Its easy to forget, but just 12 years ago we had a thriving economy and a federal government that was able to fulfill its obligations within a balanced budget.
Historically, the Republican Party has accepted this compromise as a necessary part of our modern world (and as a necessary part of getting elected there are far more employees than business owners). …

Bovine Adrenal (t)Issue - Reset A.D
Bovine Adrenal (t)Issue - Reset A.D
Just ordered two bottles of Reset A.D. - planning to be among the first in Finland to try these babies out (btw: thanks Palo Alto Labs for yet another great product)!
Not doubting the potency and quality of the product, but for peace of mind's sake, gotta ask you guys what is the source of the desiccated bovine adrenal tissue you got in Reset-A.D?
I hope you are getting it from a reputable source to ensure that one will not contract BSE or the like from it (or is it even possible as this is desiccated tissue, not even sure)?
You mention in your write-up that the bovine adrenal tissue is included as it "relieves the adrenal glands' burden" and "contains some important adrenal hormones" - could you elaborate on this e.g. what are these adrenal hormones it contains? Epinephrine, norepinephrine, androstenedione, cortisol? (Cortisol seems a little counter-productive, doesn't it?)
Thanks and keep it up, guys!
And by inquiring about a reputable source, I don't mean whether the bovine was of good repute.
PS. I have around 35 supps from most of the big-name manufacturers around the world in my supps cabinet at present (taking about 25 of them daily) - I seem to be a non-responder of the WORST kind as frankly very few supps have EVER had any noticeable effect on yours truly, so, if Reset-AD really works - as attested by the dozens in the midst of the multitudes of tried and true AM'ers, I WILL let you know of the results, because I have a lot stuff in my supps cab I'd LOVE to start finally responding to.
Can't wait to receive them (usually it takes around 5-7 business days by FedEx for them to be shipped to Finland). Probably could even start a log here...
Hey man... more info for you here:
Reset AD
I answered a very similar question on another forum, here is my response:
So there are no worries for any kind of mad cow or anything. ALL bovine ingredients are scrutinized for purity.The bovine adrenal tissue is the freeze dried nutrients that are found within the adrenal tissue. It is Adrenal Tissue Concentrated form Bovine sources specially processed (freeze-dried) at or below -5 o C to preserve natural occurring vitamins, enzymes, nucleotides, lipoproteins and other Cellular Components.
It is extremely important in the first stage of adrenal repair for the nutrients that it holds.
Reset AD has a 3 year shelf life. Since it is a freeze-dried source, it will not go bad like you are thinking.
FYI.. nearly all of the capsules you take, the cap itself is derrived from a bovine source. Its the same process they use with the outer shell of capsules that keep them from souring. The only exception to this is capsules marketed as veggie source which are not bovine.
To elaborate on this further:
Of course.... ALL ingredients are tested for purity and disease. There is no way we would include any bovine source without being 100% that it is disease free and passes strict criteria. ALSO... just about everyone in the PAL office regularly takes Reset AD as well as our other products... there's NO way I'd put this into my body if I thought there was even a SLIGHT possibility of Mad Cow or the like.
Well, that is curious. I thought Lovex was a local Finnish rock band that burst onto the scene just a little time ago, how can someone in the States EVEN know of the band?By the way, my daughter likes Lovex
Must be the globalization. Or the internet. Or the MTV.
OR the world reducing in diameter!
Really!? I'm in Helsinki, too!I'm in Helsinki!!! JK
All kidding aside, Sir, I must compliment you on your profound knowledge of geography as Helsinki is indeed where I reside (not many foreigners even can tell where Finland is!).
I thought we owed most of that little awareness solely to Nokia, but now I know it's all because of YouTube (and Lovex!).
And she must be almost 14 (judging by the age group Lovex caters to in Finland!).I asked her the same question! YouTube!!! LOL She knows all about them...names, what they like, videos...it's pretty funny!
I recently applied for a job in Palo Alto - got through 3 rounds of interviews (phone screens), only to find out my programming wasn't up to scratch.
The funny thing was that all the time they kept telling me I was very close to getting the job to the extent of one of the interviewers exhorting me to apply for a visa BEFORE telling me I got bumped.
Any how, I still feel a bit queasy every time some one mentions Palo Alto (just the location), but as PAL is the soon-to-be my favorite supp company, I think all that will change pretty soon.
*Has any one seen a Fedex guy with two bottles of Reset-A.D? Hands off as those are mine!*

Age to start Kindergarten?
Jess wife to Shane 7-7-7
DD Bailey 10-23-08
DS Wyatt 04-15-11
Mommy�to Aiden Thomas (11/13/2005)�and� Alisha Marie (10/17/2008)
For ODS the cut off was 12/1 (In Cali, so we are also subject to the gradually earlier cut offs) and he would have made the cut off, but we chose to redshirt him. Best decision ever! He started this year on a much more even footing with the kids in his class than he would have last year. A year can make SUCH a difference. He's more mature, he has better social skills, and he is able to sit and concentrate much better than he was able to do last year.
If they don't cancel transitional K for YDS, we will send him. It's essentially a 2 year Kindergarten track, with a shorter day for the TK kids in a regular K classroom. YDS has been really upset that he doesn't get to start K with ODS this year, so he is working hard to prove he is K ready.
The Crazy Mother
A suburban mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.� ~Peter De Vries
The cutoff here in Florida is September first. So she will be one of the older in her class.
Food for thought on the topic:
My son will be going in 2014, in IL the cutoff is Sept 1 and I am fine with that. He is a first born boy and still cries when I drop him at preschool, he definitely doesn't need kindergarten next year. I also used to teach and could always tell the young ones in the class within the first couple weeks, to me pushing your child ahead only creates social and emotional problems at a later age. My son is very bright too, as I'm sure many of yours are, but just because he is academically ready for Kindergarten, he will not be going until he is 5. They are only young once, why force something that isn't necessary?

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I wanted to hear some of your stories about how accommodating your local bike store has been in terms of follow up on new bike purchases. There are usually some things that need tweaking in the first days or weeks and I would think the LBS will happily spend time on your and your bike. It's assumed to be included in the price of the bike. One year parts and labour guarantee may not cover every little thing that may go wrong, but at some shops it could well co ver quite a bit. But how far does this goodwill towards the new customer extend?
I recently bought a hybrid from a local bike store. I wanted a few things changed on it before I bought it, and the guy was quite obliging -- steel pedals instead of cheapo plastic, different seat post without suspension, and new shorter stem so it fit better (I paid an extra 10 bucks for it because it was more expensive). But I've had a number of ongoing problems with the bike and have gone back there almost 5 times in the past 6 weeks that I've owned it. The stem creaks like crazy and there's nothing he can do to stop it. There's a mysterious clicking sound on certain gear combinations that has defied all attempts to diagnose. He tried riding it and of course couldn't hear it (it is somewhat intermittent -- aren't they always!) The replacement stem is going to have to be replaced and who knows if the clicking will ever stop. The guy is probably sick of seeing me come in but I'm still quite friendly towards him and do not want to appear as a demanding a-hole.
He's probably going to charge me for the new stem but I feel like the one he sold me was no good. But is he obligated to provide me with a stem that doesn't creak? I would like to hear some other views and experiences on this.
I can see how a finicky rider could really take advantage of a softhearted bike owner since there's always something to tweak or complain about. But there ought to be some basic expectation that a new bike should be trouble free at the outset and the LBS needs to do all it can to realize that goal.

BOO!....This is a few days old, but it just occurred to me to wonder who won the Halloween mask contest this year. Here's the answer:
Barack Obama will be the next president. At least that's what BuySeasons of New Berlin predicted last week based on the sales of its 99-cent paper presidential masks.
Sales of the masks as of Oct. 31 showed Obama with 55 percent of the sales and John McCain with 45 percent. The company, founded in 1999, has accurately predicted the last two presidential elections based on its mask sales.
Just sayin'.

NewsOK Blogs / Thunder Rumblings
Kevin Durant appears in two Foot Locker commercials
By Anthony Slater – firstname.lastname@example.com - @anthonyVslater
Russell Westbrook and James Harden went the comedic route. Kevin Durant kept a more serious tone.
Either way, all three Oklahoma City Thunder stars have been prominently featured in a widespread Foot Locker ad campaign that launched on Thursday. Click here for a look at Westbrook/Harden's clips.
Below are the two commercials Durant appears in, along with the provided description from Foot Locker:
1. Perfection: Kevin Durant, Scottie Pippen, and Deron Williams reflect on what it means to play the perfect game of basketball.
2. Tradition: Kevin Durant, Charles Barkley, and Andre Iguodala reflect on just how hard it is to make history.

Observations and modelling of deep equatorial currents in the central Pacific
Ponte, Rui Vasques de Melo

LocationEquatorial Pacific
Analysis of vertical profiles of absolute horizontal velocity collected in January 1981, February 1982 and April 1982 in the central equatorial Pacific as part of the Pacific Equatorial Ocean Dynamics (PEQUOD) program, revealed two significant narrow band spectral peaks in the zonal velocity records, centered at vertical wavelengths of 560 and 350 stretched meters (sm). Both signals were present in all three cruises, but the 350 sm peak showed a more steady character in amplitude and a higher signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, its vertical scales corresponded to the scales of the conspicuous alternating flows generically called the equatorial deep jets in the past (the same terminology will be used here). Meridional velocity and vertical displacement spectra did not show any such energetic features. Energy in the 560 sm band roughly doubled between January 1981 and April 1982. Time lagged coherence results suggested upward phase propagation at time scales of about 4 years. East-west phase lines computed from zonally lagged coherences, tilted downward towards the west, implying westward phase propagation. Estimates of zonal wavelength (on the order of 10000 km) and period based on these coherence calculations, and the observed energy meridional structure at this vertical wavenumber band, seem consistent, within experimental errors, with the presence of a first meridional mode long Rossby wave packet, weakly modulated in the zonal direction. The equatorial deep jets, identified with the peak centered at 350 sm, are best defined as a finite narrow band process in vertical wavenumber (311-400 sm), accounting for only 20% of the total variance present in the broad band energetic background. At the jets wavenumber band, latitudinal energy scaling compared well with Kelvin wave theoretical values and a general tilt of phase lines downward towards the east yielded estimates of 10000-16000 km for the zonal wavelengths. Time-lagged coherence calculations revealed evidence for vertical shifting of the jets on interannual time scales. Interpretation of results in terms of single frequency linear wave processes led to inconsistencies, but finite bandwidth (in frequency and wavenumber) Kelvin wave processes of periods on the order of three to five years could account for the observations. Thus, the records do not preclude equatorial waves as a reasonable kinematic description of the jets.

Ahead of the curve
Officials at Hewlett-Packard's ProCurve Networking division have released new products and updates.
ProCurve products use the Adaptive Enhanced Data Rate for Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communication Evolution Architecture for wireless networks, which is a faster version of GSM wireless service.
The company recently announced the ProCurve Routing Switch 9400sl series. One model, the 9408sl core switch, has a full set of features, said Al Madden, Americas product manager for ProCurve Networking.
They include a high-density wire speed of 10-gigabit Ethernet for up to 32 ports and up to 320 wire-speed gigabit ports. Other features include 1.28 terabits of switching capacity, a throughput of 480 million packets per second per chassis and IP version 6 support in the hardware.
The product also includes a dedicated 10/100 Ethernet management port and optional redundant management.
The ProCurve Routing Switch 9408sl with a 20 10-gigabit port configuration costs $310,000 and is expected to be available in August.
In addition, company officials announced updates to several ProCurve products.
Both versions of ProCurve's management software have more features. ProCurve Manager 2.0, which comes bundled at no cost with all manageable ProCurve devices, now offers Link Layer Discovery Protocol for discovery and automation of the registration process.
ProCurve Manager Plus 2.0 is an upgrade that will cost $3,199 but offers a host of additional features including configurable event-driven policies, event-driven template policies, group configuration functions, new diagnostics and improved security.
The ProCurve 5300xl switch family is also getting some free software enhancements that, among other things, enforce security at the edge of the network.
Internet Control Message Protocol throttling, offered in addition to virus throttling, automatically reduces denial-of-service attacks.
HP officials also added authentication features to the ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 Series.

ARC FRANCE 4pc. Canning Jar Canister Set
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Glass
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Aug 08, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
This listing is for a Vintage ARC FRANCE 4pc. Glass Canning Jar- Type Canister Set. It is pre-owned and in excellent condition other than one seal that needs to be replaced. T aren't any chips or cracks on any of the jars. I guess they could probably also be used for canning jars.The set includes... one 2 Liter size, one 1.5 Liter, one 1 Liter, one 3/4 Liter. The clamps all work well but do show their age. The measurements below are for the jar size only...add on another approximate 1-1/2" to the width if including the clamp. The 2L one measures approximately 9-7/8" tall x 5" wide. The 1.5L measures approximately 8-5/8" tall x 4-1/2" wide. The 1L measures approximately 6-7/8" tall x 4-3/8" wide. The 3/4L measures approximately 5-1/2" tall x 4" wide. The tops of each container read... arc, FRANCE and they have the little guy with the archery bow. The all read, on the actual container just below the top, NIVEAU DE ------REMPLISSAGE. I do not know what this means but I do believe the line might be the fill-line if used for canning. They all have their sizes on the bottom as well as some other markings that I cannot read. However, I can tell you that the letter A is on all of them. This would make an ideal canister set for the avid canning person, just someone who like canning jars or anyone who likes the country-type look. **Please email me with any questions or concerns before bidding!

A good edition of Inside MMA tonight.
- Bas Rutten was dead wrong on Rashad Evans' strategy for UFC 114 against Rampage. He used takedowns for the majority of the fight and tried to continually take Quittin' Jackson down.
- Chris Lytle and Benji Radach are not at the top of their divisions, but they are two respectable fighters and contributed well here on the show. Hopefully Radach steps back in the Strikeforce cage in the very near future. - Kenny Rice needs to learn more though. He is trying to get educated, but he pronounced Conor Heun two different ways on the show tonight, for example.moreless

JLA Vs. Avengers Colored, 2002 by olybearWatch
©2010-2016 olybear
Ancient stuff. I did the pencil drawing in 2001, posted somewhere in my gallery. This was inspired by the old Perez pin-up/panel. I included unofficial members (but helpful allies) like Catwoman and Agatha Harkness.
Does anyone know if Perez is on deviantart?
By the way, Enchantress has blonde hair.
Who is Agatha? And, where's Logan/Wolverine and the X-men?! Other than that then, great job!
Thanks! Agatha is Scarlet Witch's mentor and a frequent Avengers ally.
Wait a second! Why is there another wonder woman? By the way, outstanding drawing. How many days did it take?
The other one was Hippolyta, who replaced Diana for a time. This took a couple of days, I don't remember anymore.
And I think I messed up. When I said Red Wolf I meant Gilgamesh and I'm pretty sure that's martinex and not living lightning.
Is that black lightning above ice maiden or is that aqualad and is that supposed to be guy gardener as the warrior above gypsy?
And on the Marvel side I forgot Triathlon. Now I think I got them all!
Ok I think I've finally figured them out. DC side: Batman, Superman, John Stewart, Flash, Robin, Wonder Woman, Aqua man, Hawk man, Zauriel, Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter, Atom, Adam Strange, Animal Man, Booster Gold, Creeper, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, Atom Smasher, Cat woman, Hawk girl, Green Arrow, Wonder Girl, Zatanna, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Elongated Man, Plastic Man, Steel, Red Tornado, Metamorpho, Another Aqua Man?, Dr. Fate, Fire, Firestorm, Ice, Jade, Mr. Miracle, Orion, Specter, Tasmanian Devil, Vixen, Light ray, Ray, Despero, Blue Devil, Ice maiden, Amazing Man, Aztek, Big Barda, Faith, Monitou Raven, Black Lightning, Tomorrow Woman, Connor Hawke, Crimson Fox, Huntress, Major Disaster, Maxima, Dr. Light II, Oracle, Bronze Tiger, Hour man III, Gypsy, Power Girl, and Jason Blood. MARVEL side: Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, War Machine, Thor, Hulk, Black Panther, Beast, Amadeus Cho, Ant Man, wasp, Hawkeye, Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Black Knight, Dr. Druid, Arachne, hellcat, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Thing, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch, Namor, Jack of Hearts, U.S. Agent, Vision, Firestar, Falcon, Machine Man, Wonder Man, Swordsman, Moon Knight, Hercules, Giant Man, Ms. Marvel, Tigra, Thunder strike, She Hulk, Magdalene, Genis-vell, Moon Dragon, Sersi, Rage, Living Lightning, Silver claw, Songbird, Star fox, Stingray, Star hawk, Firebird, Mantis, Mockingbird, Sandman, Marrina, Quasar, Death cry, Red Wolf, Yondu, Justice, Dark hawk, Crystal, Demolition Man, Agatha Harkness, and Pulsar! Tell me anyones I missed or got wrong.
I am having an extremely hard time guessing who they all are!
Super hero smacldown!
This is absolutely awesome!
Would love a full size print. Wow!
However at the very end it's all going to come down to Captain America vs. Batman.
hey cool is my crossover favorite is one pic awesome colugrations friend is great work.
Wow! You do some of the best large group shots.
Actually that's Nightwing. But he's near him and Jade.
Steel vs. either Iron Man or War Machine?
Steel vs. Iron Man... and I think it's Major Disaster vs. War Machine? I think it could work.
The funny thing is, I saw Batman and Captain America first, then The Vision and the Martian Manhunter, then finally Superman and Thor. From I was try to tell who would go for who first. This pic tells an awesome story.
Thanks so much, glad you think so! I think someone like USAgent, Hercules or Guy Gardner would start the fight... then it's going to be a free-for-all.
oh!! yeah!...
and the main man XD?
and the main man XD?
Oh, was unable to cram him in... maybe when I do a bigger, more action pose-y drawing someday.
whee! you plan to make new ones like these?

Longterm plans to build a new natural-gas pipeline that would cut through Lewis County and stretch from Sumas to Woodland are moving forward.
Williams, the Oklahoma-based company that already runs one natural-gas pipeline through Lewis County, filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to build, own and operate the new pipeline in June.
The proposed project, known as the Washington Expansion Project, would add about 140 miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline, paralleling the existing system between Sumas, Whatcom County, and Woodland, Cowlitz County.
About 26 miles of the new pipeline would run through Lewis County.

- Bellevue High principal leaves school amid scrutiny of football program

Michele Swaner, spokeswoman for the Washington Expansion Project, said the reason for the new pipeline, which would transport an additional 1.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, is to respond to a request from Oregon LNG to provide more transportation of natural gas.
Oregon LNG exports liquefied natural gas.
Swaner said FERC requires the application to prove convenience and necessity before it will allow the project. It will take a year before FERC responds to the application, Swaner said. If the project stays on schedule, work would begin in the spring of 2017.
Before Williams could even apply with FERC, Swaner said, public-comments sessions have to be held. Local residents can view the application at the Centralia Timberland Library, the Chehalis Timberland Library and the Winlock Public Library.

Westchester guard Jimmer Fredette (2nd team) and center Jordan Bachynski (3rd team & all-defense) have earned all D-League honors. It will be interesting to see where Fredette, a former 1st round pick, ends up next season. He signed a 10-day deal with the Knicks in 2015-16 that was not renewed.

Carmelo Anthony is trying to take an even-keel approach to things while the Knicks search for a coach. "Until they have something that's when I'm going to have something," he said in an interview Thursday at an event to promote Gillette Clinical Clear Gel. "Honestly I try to step away from it for a minute, just clear my head, not even think about that part of it right now. I find myself being able to cope better when I do do that. instead of thinking so much about it, being emotional about it. I try to distance myself from it." It's similar to Anthony's approach in pressure situations. "Just try to stay mellow, man."

There's too much work both on the floor and mentally that you have to do to prepare for a playoff series understanding how the competition is going to be at its highest level. Easy should never even come into play when you're talking about playoff basketball or basketball in general at this level."
Kyle Korver went out w/ a broken leg in G2 of the ECF last year. This year he's coming off a strong 1st Rd (12.2p on 45 pct from 3). Ty Lue has noticed: "We know he's dangerous ...

Love Sperry's!!
"I had an old pair of Sperry shoes that were 5 years old and were getting really worn out. I tried to buy a new style of Sperry brand that have the shorter toe box on them, but they weren't as flexible of leather and rubbed my feat along with pinching. I hated them and ended up getting rid of them after only a couple of wears. I went back to wearing my old beat up pair until I decided to buy a pair exactly like my old style. These are perfect!! Flexible right off the bat and comfortable just like my old pair. No need to break them in at all. So happy I found them and at a good price! No to mention these shoes will last years!! I wore them almost daily and my old pair lasted 5 years!"

"These have great cushion throughout the shoe so they're incredibly comfortable. They took a few days to break in, and feel a little loose now, so hopefully they hold-up well. The color is as it appears in the photo. If you like boat shoes, I highly recommend these."

"I needed a new pair of sperrys since I wore my old ones into the ground. The cushion on this pair of shoes is wonderful. They look exactly as described. I typically wear a 9 in athletic shoes and an 8 in heals and a 8.5 in everything else. So I ordered and 8.5 and they fit to a tee. They are so versitile with my outfits and style and I can't wait for summer to wear them more frequently."

"He's worked hard on his boxing but it hasn't evolved. This is MMA and if you don't evolve, you're gonna get eaten."
Sanchez then trashed Stevenson's submission defense:
"Watching the (Kenny) Florian-Joe fight, I see that Joe ain't training with guys who are better than him. Joe's supposedly a black belt, he did not even know how to do a hip escape or even try to escape from the mount. He just turned and gave his back, that's a white belt if you ask me."
"The Nightmare" doesn't reserve the trash talk for just Stevenson, he goes after lightweight contender Kenny Florian too:
"I'm watching (Florian v. Stevenson at UFC 91) and I'm seeing Kenny Florian do so good, a guy that I just totally destroyed (in the final of The Ultimate Fighter I). So I'm like I'm one of the smallest guys at 170, why not go down to 55 and see what happens, possibly get a title shot."
Greg Jackson also gets smashed during the show. Jackson and Sanchez parted ways in 2007 when it was clear that Georges St. Pierre was going to join the camp. Sanchez's mother actually says bringing GSP into Jackson's Submission Fighting was a betrayal.
It's worth noting that the UFC chose to give extensive to hype the Nate Marquardt-Wilson Gouveia fight during Countdown to UFC 95. Some think that the Chael Sonnen-Demian Maia winner actually deserves a title shot before Marquardt or Gouveia.

Death-defying photographer, Charles Ebbets (1905-1978) was as fearless as the vertigo-resistant construction workers he photographed. Casually dangling on the I-beams of New York skyscrapers, the workers were immortalized in a series of nearly 300 dizzying shots published in the New York Herald Tribune. His photography epitomized the American spirit of risk-taking bravery and ingenuity that was behind building New York into a world class city. Ebbets, a daring photographer, also worked as a pilot, auto racer, wrestler and a hunter, while also working as the official photographer for prizefighter Jack Dempsey.

Prophecies by KitchikiWatch

'Sir as wise as you are, no son of mine is being neglected because of a prophecy'.
Quick picture!
Uh, gotta go because my friend is here C':
This is my first time drawing Rafiki xD
Quick picture!
Uh, gotta go because my friend is here C':
This is my first time drawing Rafiki xD
This is beautiful.
looool she is huge
Oh I loved the picture, and I also loved that little description, great job
Beautiful Uru design! and a brilliant job on Rafiki too
Lovely work, your version of Uru is beautiful!
please tell me about this, is that mufasa and scars mother? did rafiki tell her about what was about to happen? how did you create such a well made rafiki on your first try? XD
Cause if she did neglect him, the prophecy would come true because of the neglect!
God, prophecies are so confusing!
As in, she won't neglect her son when a prophecy tells her to or she's denying her son will be neglected, which the prophecy predicts? Just curious
Beautiful, as always! ^w^
I think the prophecy just predicts that Taka's gonna be evil, but She means She won't neglect and stop loving him anyways :3
great picture
Very great for a first time :3
This is gorgeous
I love the colors and your Uru is very beautiful
Are they supposed to look at something specific, because they both seem to look into the distance in different directions.
They're looking at the two lion heads. One is Mufasa's and the other's is Scar--the lioness is Uru, Mufasa and Taka/Scar's mum from teh lion king books, in case you didn't know--
Really nice! Uru seems wise. She understands the prophecy but as a mother she feels she needs to follow her instincts. Your version of Uru is also very beautiful!
Great job on the colors.
Oh WOW! This is absolutely amazing!
I love your version of Uru she looks so regal yet very beautiful!
You did an amazing job on everything in this picture! I actually thought it was a screenshot XDDD
Wonderful work hun keep it up!
whoa I thought this was a screenshot O_O I love this concept!
very pretty!
she looks like shes thinking "what am I doing with this crazy monkey?"
oh my goodness, it's so beautiful <3
who is that? ... scar/mufasa's mother?
Yes, her name is Uru
Rafiki's intrigued face X) Wow, she's tall! As always it's beautiful.
I'm in love with her eyes ;u; So lovely.
So beautiful, love the background.

Django Unchained 2012
Another Tarantino classic. Subversive, hyper-violent and impeccably performed. I would go on but I'm saving the bulk my praise for something more extensive.
The Dark Knight 2008
A superhero reaction to 9/11 and the War on Terror that manages to tackle these big themes without compromising. In this homogenized genre, only Christopher Nolan is ambitious enough to even try such a thing, let alone succeed.
The Dark Knight Rises 2012
The Dark Knight is the neater, thematically/politically richer film but I take my hat off to Nolan for crafting a modern day cinematic epic from a Batman franchise. Inferior to TDK, superior to BB, the dense plotting, vast scope and emotional heft are enough to guarantee rewarding repeat viewings.
EDIT: Dropped down a star in hindsight. The lack of thematic consistency is really going to harm it in the long term.
Skyfall 2012
In many ways Skyfall is the true Bond reboot, not Casino Royale. While Craig's first Bond adventure made many concessions to find a place for itself in a post-Bourne market, Skyfall embraces its legacy completely. It manages to take the classic Bond formula and make it feel fresh & relevant for modern times without actually changing much - just augmenting it with a bit of grit and emotional gravity, but not at the expense of being utterly entertaining - this is a difficult balancing act that Mendes and company made seem effortless.
The best blockbuster of the year by far.
Moonrise Kingdom 2012
Charming and emotionally engaging in a way that seems more accessible than other Wes Anderson films but still defiantly Wes Anderson in style and content. His best (live-action) film since Tenenbaums.
Reservoir Dogs 1992
Holds up like a motherfucker. Astounding debut.
Iron Man 3 2013
Might be my favourite Marvel movie so far, certainly the most complete Iron Man movie yet (having a complete script certainly helps). More thoughts as they come to me...
Looper 2012
Smart, thrilling piece of adult genre cinema that is equal parts concept-driven and character-driven. Each iteration of Joe is a character of such moral complexity, they could drive an entire film on their own. Rian Johnson has stepped up in a big way, this is the sort of blockbuster calling card that Ridley Scott or Christopher Nolan once made. If you let this movie fail, you don't get the right to complain when Hollywood churns out its next Battleship.
Star Trek Into Darkness 2013
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Star Trek Into A Really Dumb Movie. [Some Spoilers]
First of all, let's get one thing out of the way. Benedict Cumberbatch is Khan. If you didn't see how glaringly obvious that reveal was, you weren't a big Trek fan to begin with. If you weren't a big Trek fan to begin with, the reveal has zero impact on you, so why pretend its a spoiler? Settled? Good.
In 2009, JJ Abrams revitalized the Trek franchise with a deeply flawed…
Prometheus 2012
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is less a review, more an observation.
The Engineers, the once mysterious "Space Jockeys", are presented as creating something devastating that turned on them and ultimately destroyed them. Yet it's not the xenomorph. Not directly, that seemed to be more of an accident than anything, as I doubt they created these penis-squids with the intention of using them on their own kind.
So what does this tell us? The Engineers, the creators of organic…

Clint Trickett pokes the bear (Nick Saban) with first kiss revelation
Everything was going so well for West Virginia (other than suspending starting CB Icky Banks to open the season). Noses were on the grindstone and chatter was minimal, as the Mountaineers were preparing to give the Crimson Tide all they can handle this Saturday.
But then W.Va. QB Clint Trickett went and picked up a gnarled verbal walking stick, and jabbed it right in the bear's eye. And by "bear," I mean Alabama's new Bear -- coach Nick Saban.
During a news conference Tuesday, Trickett was asked about his familiarity with Saban, given that Trickett's father coached on Saban's LSU staff in 2000, and Trickett's brother was a graduate assistant at 'Bama in 2007. Trickett's response (via Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Post-Gazette):
"His daughter [Kristen] was my first kiss, back in the day. [laughs] So yeah ... I don't know if I should have said that. [laughs again] She's actually engaged now. Coach Nick is one of the greatest there is. My brother worked for him. He was a GA for him when be first got to Alabama. And we've known him for years, family, friends and just one of the best coaches out there." Cuts off next question. "For clarification, we were like six years old! Just so everyone knows that."
Can't you just see Saban push-pinning this one onto the bulletin board, then taping photos of Trickett's face on tackling dummies?
Yeah, me neither.
But hey, it's a neat story heading into the game -- if nothing else, a fun talking point for announcers to discuss if (when?) this one gets out of hand.

PANAMA CITY-- Kyle Wasicak is a currency trader who works from home. Like many, he hasn't devised a hurricane preparedness plan.
"I never have actually even thought about that. My livelihood definitely depends on electricity and the internet. I would probably have to pack up my laptop and find relatives or go far north," says Wasicak.
In preparation for hurricane season, Gulf Power has launched a new app, that allows you will let you report outages and track where crews are in the power recovery process.
" The alerts will also let them know when there power is restored. That is a great feature for our customers," said a Gulf Power spokesperson.

Summary: Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of research interests in analysing the stability of time-delay systems. Many results have been reported using a variety of approaches and techniques. However, much of the focus has been laid on the use of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii theory to derive sufficient stability conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities. The purpose of this article is to survey the recent results developed to analyse the asymptotic stability of time-delay systems. Both delay-independent and delay-dependent results are reported in the article. Special emphases are given to the issues of conservatism of the results and computational complexity. Connections of certain delay-dependent stability results are also discussed.

Debt capitalisations and Look Through Company ("LTC") elections by liquidating companies are two of four scenarios in a recent draft Inland Revenue Questions We've Been Asked ("QWBA") item. The draft QWBA considers that both are shocks to the tax system which require the tax avoidance rules to be deployed. This, in Inland Revenue's view, is required to preserve the integrity of the tax system.
Briefly, the Commissioner considers these are tax avoidance arrangements because there are alternatives which create taxable income. The Commissioner's analysis is that the avoidance of these alternative tax liabilities was not contemplated by Parliament.
The Commissioner's analysis raises a fundamental issue. The basic proposition is that a taxpayer can no longer have due regard to the tax consequences of their actions when determining what to do. In fact, it suggests taxpayers must take the course of action which results in the highest tax payable. That is the most concerning feature of the draft QWBA as it is a significant change in approach.
There is an opportunity to provide comment on the draft QWBA. It should be taken in a real effort to persuade the Commissioner that her conclusions are invalid. Otherwise urgent law changes will be required to allow these transactions to proceed.

Canada prime minister wants NHL stars in Sochi
Updated: April 8, 2013, 4:51 PM ETAssociated Press
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper is urging NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to let the league's stars play in the Sochi Olympics.
Harper says he speaks for all Canadians who want to see the country's top players don the Maple Leaf at the Winter Games next year. NHL players have been part of the Olympics since 1998 in Nagano, Japan.
The league is mulling whether it is worth shutting down its season for a few weeks to allow its players to take part.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Brilliant use of color

Blue lips made for kissing, even if your painted beings don't seem always human. But whatever the case your ART is exciting and striking and makes me jealous of your skill! RJ
I adore the cold feeling spreading across the painting...
