Electronics recycling up 12% at Seneca Meadows
Seneca Meadows, Inc. announced today that electronics recycling is up by 12 percent at their drop-off center. Community groups, homeowners and businesses utilized the free-of-charge service to unload over 47,900 pounds of electronics in 2013. In 2012, the total was just over 42,700.
Seneca Meadows is committed to investing in our environment and our community, and the recycling drop-off program combines the two perfectly, said Don Gentilcore, Area Manager for Seneca Meadows. People in our community want to recycle, and offering a permanent drop-off location, close to home, makes it a little easier for them.
Joe DeTorio, Electronics Recycling Coordinator for Seneca Meadows, also commented on the increase, I think our neighbors are finding a real value in this free program. When they learn that we accept pretty much anything with a cord, it opens up a whole new avenue for recycling; not just for residents, but for business owners, schools and community organizations as well.
The drop-off center, which is located near the landfill entrance on Route 414, also accepts household recyclables, rechargeable batteries and cell phones. The electronics are transported to 2trg in Geneva for secure recycling, and the cell phones are shipped to a program that benefits U.S. military personnel, entitled, Cell Phones for Soldiers.
Electronics may be dropped off on Saturdays: 6:00 11:30 am, and Sundays: 8:00 11:00 am. Household recyclables, rechargeable batteries, and cell phones may be dropped off seven days per week, Monday Friday from 6:00 am 4:00 pm, Saturdays from 6:00 11:30 am, and Sundays from 8:00 11:00 am.
To learn more about recycling at Seneca Meadows, log onto their website, senecameadows.com.

There are so many things that Lanvin managed to get right with the Lanvin Python and Mongolian Fur Pumps that it's difficult for me to say that the shoe as a whole doesn't work, but those are the facts of the situation. The design was humming along quite nicely on the right path, but then it hit a furry, frizzy wall from which I'm afraid it will not recover.
The stuff stuck on the back of this beautiful, sculptural pair of shoes looks a lot like my hair does on a humid August day when I haven't bothered to put any product in it, let alone brush it or flat iron it. As I'm sure you can imagine, that's not a good look on my head or on this shoe. I'm overwhelmed with the urge to introduce it to the products of Frederic Fekkai, but that would likely have a detrimental effect on the python.
My guess is that Lanvin used the fur as a winter-appropriate alternative to the feathers that brands like Valentino and Christian Louboutin have used in the past to adorn the backs of their shoes. In theory the idea works really well, but this is not the specific type of fur I would have chosen. It resembles human hair too much, and that's just a tad creepy.

Upcoming Toll Road Leaves Bikes Behind
Submitted by 303admin on
Thanks to a 303cycling reader, Jason Callegari, for writing up this story. If you have a story you want to share, drop us a line or two. Thanks Jason!!
On Wednesday December 16th, The Denver Regional Council of Governors (DRCOG) will meet to hear testimony regarding the planned Toll Road between Arvada and Broomfield. The proposed Toll Road will have its largest impact on the Arvada, Golden, Boulder, Superior and Broomfield communities. This is not a new debate, however it is a new opportunity for voices from the bike community to be heard.
Much of the debate over the Toll Road centers around proposed economic development. In these tough economic times, it is important that communities seek new solutions to bolster their economic security, however the Toll Road is neither the only nor the best option.
Why do bicycles continue to be left behind? If tax payer money needs to be used -and the current proposal calls for up to 1 billion in tax payer money- then we need a multi modal design that takes into account pedstrian, bicycle, RTD and cars - serving everyone's needs. The proposed toll road does not do this (they would only set aside some right-of-way for someone else to build in the future) . Its proponents acknowledge that it would cause increased congestion on S.H. 93 and Indiana St. If you bike or drive Highway 93 you know that it has little to no shoulder, tight curves, no split median, plenty of wildlife crossings and frequent snow closures. Funding the proposed Toll Road would not leave any funds left to address these important issues.
Luckily, officials from Golden and Boulder have outlined a plan which argues for a much smarter use of taxpayer money. The proposal titled, Introducing the Corridor Plan - Safe Sustainable Connections (www.fix93.org), recognizes 93 for what it is: a vital road for access to institutions of higher learning, research, and new energy, along with vital open space and beautiful views. The plan calls for a bicycle and pedestrian route between Golden and Boulder, widened shoulders, a divided median, improved RTD usage, wildlife crossings, improved interchanges with U.S. 6, improved snow fences and more. This seems like a much better use of our hard earned money, and is forecasted to cost far less.
I look forward to having safe bicycle access to all of the great mountain biking and some of my favorite road bike rides that the S.H. 93 corridor offers. However, this will only happen if we as bicyclists continue to make our voices heard arguing for smarter, multi modal growth that serves everyones' needs. Represent the bicycling community Wednesday at the DRCOG meeting, 6:30 p.m., Colorado History Museum, Boettcher Auditorium, 1300 Broadway, Denver. Register to testify by contacting Casey Collins at DRCOG firstname.lastname@example.com or leave your comment online before December 16th.

Beware of toll roads - often
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Beware of toll roads - often the cities enter into an agreement with the toll road operator that requires the city to make up for any lowered toll revenue that results from drivers taking municipal/county roads instead of the tollway. To avoid having to make those payments, the city/county will shunt traffic to the toll road by closing down alternate routes.

Bike Path
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Route 93 is such a dangerous road -- I feel that cyclists have a place, but would prefer to see a totally separated bike path. Route 93 and the Boulder Canyon are "non biking" routes in my mind and I cringe when I see fellow cyclists on those routes. However, a path would be welcomed, and could make a nice and safe route between Boulder and Golden.

You are right and wrong
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Every cyclist has a different intention when out riding... Family riding, athletic training, commuting to work.... just living because of 5 DUI's, etc. A separated bike lane is nice for some of those categories but I would not want to see a sport cyclist doing intervals on a separated bike lane, use the road for that and flip side, doing a family ride on 93 is not a preferred place to ride. I guess the question is in terms of accommodating cyclists on Boulder Canyon and 93, what majority type of cyclist would use that route?
Ideally there would be both and the separated bike path does not need to follow 93, there is tons of open land a multi use path could cut through as it winds down to Golden, Arvada or ??

As the contentious rhetoric and debate about future project continues, please make Route 93 safer because people are dying on the road.
1. Schedule annual re-painting of the road with reflective paint.
- Winter snow plowing scrapes off paint.
2. Install more roadside reflector posts.
- Many are missing and could be replaced.
3. Add rumple-strips along the sides of the road and in the middle.
Can we at least agree to please take care of what we have!
Below is a route-93 petition which seems to get more signatures each time there is a fatality on route-93.
Here is a link to the recent nighttime accident that killed two CU girls when they collided with an elderly couple:
Please write to the folks below asking for these simple safety maintenance issues to be addressed.

The White Dove
This past Sabbath, we had an old friend from out of town come and spend the day with us. Last May she, a former practicing pagan, converted to "christianity" and has credited our years of loving kindness towards her and her family, while they were geographical neighbors and friends, as one of her biggest influences towards seeking the true creator. Now, we are not ourselves christian but are instead Messianic Hebrews. We follow the faith and teachings of Yeshua the Messiah just as He instructed his apostles 2,000 years ago. We observe the Sabbath, eat only clean foods, celebrate the appointed times and feasts and observe all of the instructions given by the Creator to Moses in the Torah.
Now our friend had come to us to learn more about our Creator, the Messiah and His true message- things she is not taught in her Baptist bible study. We started early at our breakfast table and went through the Sabbath day instructing her and exposing her to the Hebrew meanings and translations of both the Tanakh and the New Writings (misinformed as the old and new testaments), the Apocrypha, Targums and the Pseudapigrapha.
By the end of the day, her head was full and so we took a break and went into the backyard of our property to sit and enjoy the late afternoon fall weather. While sitting in the evening sun, I observed something I had never seen in the 7 years living in our Texas farmhouse- a single white dove. I pointed it out to my wife and our friend and we were awestruck. This single white dove circled over our heads for about 10 minutes before disappearing off to the west. Truly- the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) had been with us this day and gave us a sign of His presence- the white dove.

XXX Adult Centro Site Facts
XXX Adult Centro Review
Having a subscription to XXX Adult Centro is basically like having an entire room dedicated to housing a collection of hardcore porn DVDs. The subscription is much more convenient, private, and takes up much less space. When you log in you are going to have over 8 thousand adult titles to browse through, sample, and download in their entirety.
Like any good archive, the scope is pretty wide. There will be straight, gay and lesbian, and transexual movies in the collection. If you aren't into gay porn or shemale porn the best you can do is avoid looking at the DVD box covers, and going straight to the categories drop down menu. There you can choose from a very long list of items: anal sex, POV, MILFs, BDSM, group sex, matures, Handjobs, Insertions, Interracial, and many others.
The DVDs here are from quality studios and there are recent releases as well as some that are from a few years back. I thought it provided a nice range that should cover the interests you might have, each niche with enough depth to keep coming back to again and again for something fresh.
I counted 37,811+ video scenes at the time of my visit. You download and stream scenes, not full DVDs. These had great quality playback in MPEG, Windows Media and MP4 download formats. All are in DVD resolution (big surprise). You can also stream these movies in a Flash video player that is sharp and loads quickly.
Navigating around the site is pleasant. There are many ways to browse including by category, model, studio, series or randomly. They maintain top lists, and members favorites by ratings and downloads. It's a breeze surging around and looking for content. I real feat for such a large site.
XXX Adult Centro is a quality DVD archive, and one of the larger ones I've visited in my tenure as a reviewer. The only thing I wasn't too hot about was that there was no way to choose to hide the different major categories of content (straight, gay, shemale). Beyond that the site does a terrific job of making a lot of good porn easily accessible and in quality media formats.

Stanford, Calif. - The Stanford University Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation has signed a sponsorship agreement with Nike that will outfit Cardinal men's and women's teams with footwear, apparel and equipment for Stanford's student-athletes, coaches and teams. The announcement was made today by Ted Leland, Stanford University Director of Athletics.
"The Athletic Department is very proud to be continuing our sponsorship relationship with Nike," said Leland. "We greatly appreciate Nike's commitment to outfit Stanford's teams with apparel and equipment. This helps ensure that the Department of Athletics can maintain its commitment to the highest academic and athletic standards for Stanford student-athletes, both on and off the field."
Today's announcement expands the sponsorship to include sports beyond football and basketball. "It will benefit substantially a majority of Stanford student-athletes," said Leland.
Stanford University has won the Sears Directors' Cup, which recognizes the nation's top overall college sports program, seven years in a row.
"First and foremost, this sponsorship supports Stanford student-athletes," said Stanford University Provost John Etchemendy. "We are particularly pleased that student-athletes in the some of the less visible sports will benefit from Nike's contribution of clothing and equipment."

Challenge Details:
- Challenge ends July 31, 2014. Form must be filled out & filled out HERE (it's short)
- Switch one thing either within your household or your place of business within the month of July that helps to reduce plastic use. Then post a picture to BALM! Baby's FB page. (facebook.com/balmbaby)

WHY Take the Challenge?
Most people are unaware that plastic is a huge issue, not just to our planet, but our health.
Our Planet: Plastic will NEVER break down. 2oz. of plastic will ALWAYS be 2oz. of plastic & can only be down-cycled / up-cycled so many times.
Our Health: When plastic is used for food or skin care containers, there are health concerns because plastic can leech, especially when warmed up,making even natural products become full of toxic chemicals, and therfore, no longer natural.
Get Informed! Be Part of the solution!
Switch Ideas:
* Switch items with plastic material to more sustainable materials (glass, stainless steel, wood, clay, fabric, aluminum, etc.)
* Buy some re-usable stainless steel or glass water bottles instead of plastic ones.
* Buy some re-usuable stainless steel or glass food containers.
* Buy in BULK, taking your re-usable containers in to fill up. I LOVE this bc I don't have to transfer my bulk items to containers after I get home..I just unload from the car straight into the pantry…reduces time!
Feel free to switch as MANY things as you'd like (just don't overwhelm yourselves!).

Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan slammed his way into the Super Bowl last night on FOX with a memorable commercial for the retail store chain Radioshack. The ad had 80's flashback theme with Hogan, Slaughter, and parade of other '80's pop culture gems tearing up the store in a riot. The 60 second spot also featured fellow wrestling legend Sgt. Slaughter, Alf, Chuckie,Twisted Sister, John Ratzenberger, gymnast Mary Lou Retton, Erik Estrada, and an animated appearance by the California Raisins.
On social media, the commercial received rave reviews with many calling it the best of this year's Super Bowl broadcast. The Wall Street Journal called out the commercial as one the best, and Hulk Hogan himself has spent the better part of Monday tweeted back and forth with fans about the hit commercial spot. The commercial which was seen by one of the biggest TV audiences of the year has already gone viral online, receiving over 734,260 in the last 24 hours.
In an web-only spin off of this commercial, Hogan appears with fellow wrestling legend Sgt. Slaughter with a Radioshack salesperson demonstrating a workout tracking device. It's a pretty funny spot with the sales guy playing straight man as Hogan and Slaughter grapple it out inside the store. You can check that ad out here on Radioshack's official Youtube page.
Pro Wrestling Examiner's Perspective: Say what you want about Hogan schilling for a store, but this is a great thing the Hulkster. Looking back at the Super Bowl, besides the memorable performance of Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers this ad was one of the best parts of the show. It certainly gives Hogan some steam heading into his long rumored return to WWE for Wrestlemania 30, read about what the Hulkster will be doing at WM30 in this article.

I believe both are correct. When we have love for ourselves (within) and love for others (everything outside of the individual then one is self-actualized.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2014, there were three NHL Stanley Cup Game 7's played. As it turned out, the night just got better and better as it went on. From a regulation game decided by just one goal, to a game decided in sudden death OT, to the coup de gras, which was a team completing the historic comeback from a 3 games to none series deficit. Let's take a look at the three terrific games played on this night.
Philadelphia Flyers @ New York Rangers (Rangers win series 4 games to 3): This was an energetic game from the start. In the first period, both teams had great chances, but both goalies, Henrik Lundqvist and Steve Mason, were on top of their game. The game was scoreless after the first period. Philly outshot the Rangers 11-10. In the second period, the Rangers drew first blood when Dan Carcillo lit the lamp at 3:06. Buoyed by the 1-0 lead, the home team began to skate downhill on their longtime playoff rivals. Benoit Pouliot made the score 2-0 at 11:46. The period belonged to the Rangers, as they outshot the Flyers 18-5. With their season hanging in the balance, Philly came out strong in the third period. Jason Akeson scored at 4:32, to cut the lead to 2-1. The Flyers would go on to outshoot the Rangers 11-5 in the period, but it was all for naught. Lundqvist was able to deny every scoring chance, every flurry, and every rush. This is what big time goaltending is all about. Though King Henry was only average in Game 6, he was a monster in Game 7. Final score, Rangers win 2-1. Three stars of Game 7: #1 Dan Carcillo, #2 Henrik Lundqvist, #3 Steve Mason. New York outscored Philly 19-16 in the series. Rangers will now face the Pittsburgh Penguins in the next round.
Minnesota Wild @ Colorado Avalanche (Wild win series 4 games to 3): This was an alternately high-scoring, and tight-checking series. Strangely, it seemed to depend on location. For the series, the teams combined to score 31 goals in the four games played in Colorado, but only 11 goals in the three games played in Minnesota. Being that Game 7 was played in Colorado, it was only fitting that nine goals were scored. In the end, the Avs learned some harsh realities about playing in the postseason. Colorado scored first in this game, and would lead four times on this night, but it would not be enough. With time winding down in regulation play, and the Avs clinging to a one goal lead, the Wild pulled the goalie, and went to work. Jared Spurgeon put the puck home at 17:33. The momentum carried over into the overtime session, as Nino Niederreiter put the puck past Semyon Varlamov at 5:02, to win the game and clinch the series. Final score, Wild win 5-4. Minnesota outscored Colorado 22-20 in the series. Three stars of the game: #1 Nino Niederreiter (MN), #2 Jared Spurgeon(MN), #3 P.A. Parenteau (CO). Wild will face Chicago Blackhawks in next round.
Los Angeles Kings @ San Jose Sharks (Kings win series 4 games to 3): This series can be looked at one of two ways. Either this series belonged to San Jose, and they froze up when it mattered most, or this series really belonged to L.A. all along, and they never should have played so undisciplined as to allow the Sharks to win the first three games in the first place. Glass half empty, glass have full, at the end of the day, the Kings are moving on, and the Sharks are going to face an uncomfortable offseason. The Sharks actually managed to score first in Game 7, but then gave up five unanswered goals to ultimately lose the game 5-1, and the series, 4 games to 3. The Kings became only the fourth team in NHL history to come back from a three games to none deficit and win a seven game series. This game was tight, until it wasn't. The first period was scoreless, and then Matt Irwin scored just 22 secs into the second period to give San Jose it's only lead. Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar scored for the Kings, and the Kings never relinquished the lead. The 2-1 lead became a 5-1 final score. The Kings outscored the Sharks 26-22 in the series, and 18-5 over the last four games. Three stars of the game: #1 Anze Kopitar, #2 Jonathan Quick, #3 Drew Doughty. Quick stopped 39 of 40 San Jose shots in Game 7. Kings will face the Anaheim Ducks in the next round.
Quick is just too much
When it came down to crunchtime, Jonathan Quick was able to shut down the vaunted San Jose attack. Quick stopped 39 of 40 shots in Game 7. The Kings' freeway series with the Anaheim Ducks will begin on Saturday, May 3.
Former Flyer Dan Carcillo scored the first goal of the game, against his former team. Carcillo's second period goal led to a more energetic effort from the Rangers, and helped crush the dreams of the Philly faithful. Carcillo was named #1 Star of the game. Up next, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Series starts on Friday, May 2.
Nino scores !
Nino Niederreiter provided OT heroics to propel the Minnesota Wild into the next round of the playoffs. The series against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks will begin on Friday, May 2. Last season, Chicago defeated Minnesota 4 games to 2 in the first round of playoffs.

British women have always been mad for hats. The late Isabella Blow would step out wearing the most daring creations, custom pieces are de riguer for weddings and important parties, and at next week's Royal Ascot–dating back to 1711, the most important event in the British social calendar–the parade of colorful and gravity defying hats on display garner as much interest as the horse races. For years, the legendary Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones have cornered the hatting market, but a host of young London upstarts are not only carrying on the trade with brash styles, but are redefining the business of millinery. Just in time for this year's Ascot, here's our short list of the city's hatters worth paying attention to.
Piers Atkinson
Piers Atkinson has been a fashion Renaissance man after moving to London in 1995. Since then, he's worked as a party organizer, as a press lieutenant for Zandra Rhodes and Mandi Lennard, as a fashion editor, and now a hat-making extraordinaire, whose incredibly cheeky work is an irreverent antidote to traditional British millinery. In the past, Atkinson has employed numerous knick knacks, including fans, pencils, and tassels to create an imperial headdress, and a headband with doll atop a banana to make a sexual statement. Atkinson's autumn/winter '10 collection unleashed some outrageous creations, such as an afro with a spear through it. But there were more subdued options as well, including veils with pearls and sequins as well as a beret with an antique lace trim.
Nasir Mazhar
Nasir Mazhar was a former hairdresser at Vidal Sasson, but transitioned from cutting to sculpting wondrous pieces for the head. The twentysomething Mazhar has worked with the who's-who of London's emerging fashion talents, including Gareth Pugh and Richard Nicoll, the Royal Opera House, the Globe Theater, and none other than the world's biggest pop star, Lady Gaga. The singer has already worn Mazhar's metal globe already, and recently, his futuristic binocular head piece was featured in Gaga's epic video, "Alejandro", directed by Steven Klein. For his own autumn/winter outing, Mazhar is just as outlandish. There are towering leather turbans, blond pigtails made with streaks of eye-popping hues, and a black veil that Morticia Adams would be fond of.
Justin Smith
British designer Justin Smith was also a hairstylist before transitioning into millinery. Smith worked at Tony and Guy as a creative director before setting up his shop And People Like Us, and in 2007, he completed a Masters in Millinery from the prestigious Royal College of Art. Since then, he has received a New Gen Sponsorship, an award from ITS, an has been shortlisted by the British Council as a UK Young Fashion Entrepreneur in 2010. This past March, if you were an attendee at Manish Arora's show in Paris, you would've noticed Smith's neon bobs that accessorized Arora's wildly colorful show, which was more optimistic in comparison to his darker autumn/winter collection. There's a beret with a skull attached, a top hat made with fur and a skeleton, and a black headdress which looked like large butterfly wings.
Søren Bach
Like Mazhar and Smith, Søren Bach, who splits time between Copenhagen and London, also began his career as a hairstylist. Unlike Smith, who uses a diverse range of materials, Bach sticks to refining his signature fur dyeing techniques. For his all-fur autumn/winter collection, there's a large mink, part of which was dyed fuchsia and red to create outlines of rose petals; an oversize white beret outlined with outlines of petals; and bouquet of red roses replete with green stems. This unique approach has caught the attention of style icons Kate Moss and the indomitable Grace Jones.
Noel Stewart
An RCA alum who has trained under the tutelage of Stephen Jones at Christian Dior, Noel Stewart forged a place in the London's millinery movement when he established his label in 2003. He has collaborated with Roland Mouret, Marios Schwab, and Hussein Chalayan for their catwalk shows, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, and Kiera Knightley are fans, has exhibited at the V&A for Stephen Jones' anthology of hats, and is stocked at numerous international boutiques, including Barneys in New York. Stewart's latest, an autumn/winter collection called Facets, consists of chunky handknit beret with marbled leather trim, a trilby with velvet pom poms and discs, and a landscape made from ribbons, perhaps the pièce de résistance.
"I think it is really exciting, this shift in focus to the head," says Bach. While Atkinson can certainly agree, he sees a deeper reason for why his contemporaries' work has caught on in recent years: "London's fashion scene has been starved of millinery. I guess we haven't seen hats worn in a big way since the '80s, so there are 30 years of hatting to catch up on." According to Stewart, these days "everyone is spoilt for choice—the only question left is why not wear a hat?"

OBJECTIVE: To study the outcome in children with brain tumours diagnosed in the first year of life, we followed up 27 consecutive children who were diagnosed between 1980 and 2005 in a single institution. METHODS: Tumour control and neurological, endocrine and cognitive complications and their impact on behavioural and emotional adjustment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were comprehensively assessed in 11 survivors (mean follow-up time 12.3 years). RESULTS: Persistent neurological complications occurred in 9/11 patients, endocrine and growth complications in 4/11, and cognitive deficits leading to school problems/impaired choice of occupation in 8/10. Behavioural and psychological adjustment problems were reported by 4/6 patients and 7/10 parents. HRQoL as rated by patients and their parents was considerably lower than that of healthy controls. In comparison with healthy controls, social functioning was rated by the patients and the parents as the QoL dimension most affected. HRQoL was lowest for patients with high-grade tumour histology and more intense therapy. CONCLUSION: Long-term survivors of brain tumours diagnosed in the first year of life are not only at great risk of neurological and cognitive complications, but also of social isolation thereby substantially decreasing self-rated HRQoL.

Guillermo 'El Chacal' Rigondeaux is looking forward to defending his
super WBA and WBO 122 pound world titles in September. Rigondeaux is
hoping that his promoters Top Rank and Caribe Promotions can make a
fight with Golden Boy's WBC 126 pound champion Abner Mares. Golden Boy,
according to the Nevada Athletic Commission, only paid Mares $350,000
for Mares' victory over Ponce de Leon on the undercard of Mayweather/
"It was an easy night's work beating the 2012 fighter of the year
Nonito Donaire on April 13th but beating Mares will be even easier,"
said Rigondeaux. "I have already beaten Mares in the Pan American
Games by a wide points margin of 17-7 but with the headgear off and these small
gloves I will knock him out. However, if he wants to step up to the
big time he should take this challenge. I'm sure my promoters can
make financially it worthwhile for him and for Golden Boy. Of
course, if he simply wants to be an undercard fighter and not rise to
this challenge, that is his right but all will know then that he is
afraid to fight me."
Rigondeaux is not a good fight for Mares at this stage.
Rigondeaux has more angles than a geometry set, and they're not all on the cartesian plan either.
I can see why Rigondeaux wants Mares though. He could, with relative ease, mess Mares up, and make a good (better) name for himself in the process.
If I were Mares' handlers, I would be saying look in the other direction
Mares V Donaire makes more sense for both fighters
None of the above fights will happen anytime soon. GBP knows better. Holla!
Yes, that's probably true. GB has not made their cash out of Mares yet.
They need to bleed that investment a little more before feeding it to the lions.
I agree. they have to get their $$$ worth before they throw him to the wolves.
Just like they couldn't make the Donaire vs Mares fight happen this one won't either.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Hello and happy new year! I bought the Netgear DGN1000v3 router and after that Chrome slowly open pages or partially load them. With Safari and Firefox I don't have that problem. I cleaned cookies and everything and I disabled all extensions. But again whenever i try to load Facebook or Google it won't load the css files and many times the js files. I have OSX 10.9. I tried from the macbook pro too (which have 10.9 too) and the same problem. The other browsers are fine but chrome not. I don't know if this is a router problem but it started when i changed my router. Thank you
I recently had the same issue. It appeared to be something wrong with my DNS provider (Open DNS), as quick switch to Google's ended up fixing it.
This happens to me a lot. I finally narrowed down the issue to my DNS cache. Sometimes the DNS cache get dirty for some reason. Could be anything. But most of the time my Internet issues are due to dirty DNS cache. So this is one of my first steps to fix the issue.
All browsers implement the caching differently, therefore a generic solution is best. The easiest way is to clear the cache through the command line per OS.

Due to globalization we see and learn more about what is happening around the globe. Travel programs show us destinations and ways of living we never saw before and they are reachable because of cheap travel options. For some people this created the need to keep in contact with people all around the globe.
We like to have the possibility to get in touch easily and quickly through Facebook, Twitter, and Skype, that are some of ways to do so. That is how social media created possibilities for businesses, people and Companies, so that they can use social media as well.
Social media has revolutionised the way in which people communicate and share information at local, national and international levels. Social media can help individuals and organisations to better understand, engage with and respond to people on the social web. Social networking is a fast moving and constantly evolving environment which presents both opportunities and challenges.
To organize what you can do with social media professionally, a strategy can be helpful. Because the online word is so fast, it is tempting to quickly create a Facebook page or LinkedIn account without thinking about it in advance. First of all: it is good that you are going to use social media. But you are missing opportunities if you start without a strategy. A strategy will give you direction, ensure a consistent image and make sure you are not a social media one day fly. With a strategy it is easier to make social media work for you because you can do it right at once.
The terms "social media" and "social networking" are often used interchangeably to refer to web-based tools and technologies that support online communication and information sharing. They turn communication into interactive dialogue.
The term social media encompasses various tools and services, including:
• Blogs
• Wikis
• Podcasts
• Content sharing services (e.g. YouTube)
• Social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn)

Mother's Day is Sunday! You've been warned.
People of all ages are using social media to accomplish all sorts of daily activities and business goals. However, when it comes to using social media on Mother's Day to express your love and thankfulness to the woman who brought you into this world, nurtured and cared for you,, remember to keep these pros and cons in mind.
Pros: Using Social Media For Mother's Day
Attaching a Gift - Facebook offers the option of sending a gift directly to a recipient with immediate notification of the gift and message. Also, some companies offer gift giving options directly from their Facebook pages such as Yogi Tea . For a limited time, Yogi Tea was even offering to send two packets of tea and a coupon to the recipient of your choice if they have a Facebook account.
Some Twitter apps offer options too. You can send Twitter users a gift card or a real present via mail. Checkout TwitGift to see their gift options like Bourbon Marshmallows or Fresh Coffee.
Last Minute - Well, let's face it. Sometimes we forget the important people in our life. Some believe the old adage, "better late than never." Making a Social Media post at the last minute is certainly at least something. Be sure to include an image of you and Mom or maybe a short video to ease the pain of the late recognition.
Publicity - Perhaps the best part of Tweeting, Facebook posting, or Tumblering about your mother is that all her friends and family get to see this public display of affection. Everyone wants to feel loved and some want to prove to others that they are loved too. Basically, it gives mom bragging rights on Monday at the office or bridge club. This may be the biggest "Pro" of all.
Cons: Using Social Media For Mother's Day
Not Thoughtful - It may appear as too little, too late. Did you forget Mother's day only to log on to Facebook and realize your mistake? In haste, you quickly resolve this by making a beautiful poem, posting it, tagging her, and publishing it. Whew, close call. Well, moms tend to be an insightful bunch of people and some are likely to notice your folly, making you look like a thoughtless child. Even if Mom doesn't mind, some of your friends are likely to think you're a jerk. And some of her friends are likely to point that out to her too.
Not Personal - Even if you went to the trouble to send a special gift card or real present via your social media post, it could appear as a very impersonal gift. Gift cards in particular say little about your knowledge of Mom's individual likes and interests.
Unintentionally Offend Others - What about grandma or your nanny from your elementary school days? Does she deserve a social media mention on Mother's Day too? And, what about your Mother-In-Law? We may unintentionally offend someone when we don't publicly credit them on certain holidays. And worse, you may never know that you did hurt someone's feelings.
She Doesn't Use Social Media - What if Mom didn't check her social media accounts on Mother's Day? Or maybe she doesn't use these online tools at all. It's possible she may never know how much you care via a message she never received.
Perhaps the best solution on Mother's Day is to do both; use social media plus a phone call, greeting card, or flowers to show your appreciation. That way she knows you didn't forget, but she also gets the public acknowledgement she deserves.
Whatever you do, don't forget, Mother's Day is Sunday!

There comes a point in every gay man's life when he fucks for the first time, and from that point on he's entered the "Stages of Sex." It starts with not getting caught, as JP Dubois and Sam Barclay learn after they sneak away from home and fuck in the woods. Horny college student Seth Roberts explores his sexuality with roommate Sean Xavier's dick deep in his ass. Sexy party boy Jimmy Durano's thick uncut cock is milked for cum out in public by blond skater Alex Andrews. Muscular hunks Adriano Carrasco and Jay Roberts fulfill their greatest sexual fantasies together. And romantic lovers Rafael Carreras and Dominic Pacifico have hard and passionate sex with each other. All of the "Stages of Sex" are explosive milestones in a gay man's life!
Uncut Spanish Hunk Adriano Carrasco is every man's dream: the Madrid pornstar is a power-top showing off a huge cock and sculpted body. When Adriano is having sex he loves the feeling when he first penetrates his partner, and he dreams of experiencing the feeling one day with Rod Daily. Aside from Rod, there are plenty of other guys ready to get in line to experience his uncut dick!
Blond pornstar Alex Andrews is known for his fresh face, uncut cock, and tight body that he's worked out with his skateboard. Alex jumped into porn because of his ex-boyfriend, and since he's started filming full-time. Alex loves sitting onto of a guy and riding his cock, and if it' in the great outdoors, even better! And Alex certainly has a wild streak: he once fucked in the hallway of his high school -- right outside his classroom! He deserves and A for effort!
Texas-born Dominic Pacifico's sexy, come-hither good looks originate from the diverse brew of his Hispanic and Native American ancestry. But why did this stud decide to make the jump into porn? "A fear of nudity," he says. There's no better place to cure that than the studios of Lucas Entertainment. Dominic loves to fuck hard, plain and simple, and he once even had sex in a grocery store!
Slovak stud Jay Roberts made his Lucas Entertainment premiere in our foreign fuck-fest PARIS PLAYBOYS. We were so turned on by his scene that we invited him to get naked again for INSIDE ISRAEL and INTERNATIONAL AUDITIONS. This smooth sex-pup used to be shy and he never had enough courage to approach a guy. So our stud-in-training took up swimming and started to workout in the gym to strengthen his body and confidence. And then our sexual brute was born. Jay loves the connection sex brings; the vulnerability and the power. He gets turned on by being versatile in bed and he can take it as hard as he gives it. Watch his sexual instincts come out in each of his scenes!
Seattle-based pornstar Jimmy Durano was originally born in Brazil, and he has the big, fat uncut cock to prove it! Jimmy is built -- his body is unbelievable, and when he puts his full strength into fucking, it's truly something to witness! By day Jimmy is a graphic designer and by night he's showing off his goods as a go-go dancer and porn star. This Latin hunk is a total top and when he's fucking a guy, he loves to drill deep inside them doggy style! The craziest place Jimmy has fucked before is in a club bathroom at a party, and if he had his pick of where to have sex, it would be an airplane bathroom!
Gay British pornstar JP Dubois has a sweet baby face and a smooth, twins body to match -- but there is nothing twinky about his 8.5 inches of thick cock. JP is totally versatile in bed; he loves to fuck an ass as much as he loves to offer his own to an aggressive, no-nonsense top. JP has a thing for older guys, and if they have a hairy chest and a big cock, all the better. JP fantasizes about one day being involved in an orgy with nothing but muscular guys, and everyone is versatile. No tops or bottoms only allowed to his party!
Cuban cock-god Rafael Carreras is one of the most sexual men we have ever met. Rafael is one of those guys who is horny, hard and naked from dusk till dawn. With his hefty uncut cock, Rafael Carreras prefers to top his partners but knows just as good how to be a submissive bottom too.The craziest place Rafael has ever had sex was on a crowded beach where people were surrounding him as he fucked his buddy. In non-sex news Rafael Carreras currently resides in Ibiza, Spain where he owns a bar and restaurant so be sure to visit!
Gay sex star Sam Barclay is an insatiable pornstar with a relentless appetite for relentless, deep sucking and fucking! Sam is most happy when he's getting fucked by big dicks -- very big dicks -- and if there is double penetration involved, all the better! Sam's wildest fuck was on stage in front of a crowd of 3,000 people. What's more, Sam hopes to one day be tossed up onto a table and double-fucked by s group of jocks. That's a true pornstar!
Hailing from California, Sean Xavier is tall, lean, and has an incredible 9 inches of black cock ready to get sucked and fuck some ass! This mocha bombshell claims to be able to self-suck his own cock -- and when seeing the thing in action, it's easy to believe. Sean was daring enough to have sex at Disney World's Boardwalk Lighthouse, and when he's fucking, he has a particular appetite for tall, white, and athletic guys.
Seth Roberts is a New York-based artist who, when the sun goes down, lets go of his inhibitions and performs on camera as a gay pornstar! Seth began modeling in porn by a simple request, and when the smooth cutie is having sex he loves the intensity of pure fucking. A park is the wildest place Seth has had sex, and he has no fantasies left to fulfill in the bedroom! A boy after our own hearts!

Hugh Jackman might have wanted a vacation from making movies, but instead he got X-Men: Days of Future Past. The man best known as Wolverine in the X-Men film universe described why he agreed to sign on board the upcoming Bryan Singer movie in a new interview.
"I first heard about it around October or November. I was literally finishing The Wolverine and dreaming about lasagna, and about three weeks before the end, they told me," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "There was no way I was not going to be part of that."
And so he rejoined much of the original cast in director Bryan Singer's upcoming sequel. Of course, Jackman had also made a cameo in 2011's X-Men: First Class, and has appeared in the X-Men film universe more than any other actor. He said he has only seen an eight-page synopsis of Days of Future Past, and hasn't read a finished screenplay.
At this point, Jackman isn't committed to any other X-Men movies, though that could likely change in a couple of years once The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past hit theaters. For now, as he told his manager, he just needs a break.
"I told my agent [WME's Patrick Whitesell], 'After Days of Future Past, I need to be home [in New York's West Village],' " Jackman said.
During the interview, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner recalled why Singer decided Jackman was the man to play Logan in 2000's X-Men. "Hugh was a lot taller than the character, and Bryan wasn't sure if he was the right guy," she said. "So I said, 'Let me send him up to you in Toronto,' and Hugh went up, and Anna Paquin was there already, and they did a scene together, and after Bryan yelled 'Cut!' one of the crewmembers said, 'Wow! That's Wolverine.' "
The sequel to 2011's X-Men: First Class features returning stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Holt and Jennifer Lawrence, joined by original X-Men trilogy cast members Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore. X-Men: Days of Future Past opens July 18, 2014.
Bah, I already fogot about all the shortcomings (pun!) of Jackman. He is too tall to be Wolverine, isn't he? And too handsome. And he sings too well. And dances a lot better than Logan. Though, I seem to remember Wolvie might have been a good dancer too. With all the running and stabbing and slashing, dancin' might be in his blood.
X-Men need more dancing.

Love this dress, but I want someone else to love it too! It's by White One, which is a subsidiary line of Pronovias. If you do a google search for White One 411 you'll see lots of photos. It's also nearly identical to La Sposa Fanal. Dress is gorgeous with awesome draping, built-in corset to hold in your tummy!
I bought this dress used, had it altered and wore it, and now I'm selling it as well. HOWEVER, the train is very dirty. I haven't had it cleaned yet because I didn't want to invest in something that I was going to sell – my drycleaner said she thinks they could get all the dirty out of it (but it would cost $100). Hence I'm selling it for only $300! Also, if you're shorter than 5'5″ with 3″ heels, and/or you want to eliminate the train, you can easily cut away the dirt. Dress was over $1k new, then another $300 to put in the corset. I put in about $350 in alterations as well.

Well, no, we are not inspecting magnetic particles. However, the way magnetized iron particles act under certain conditions can tell us a lot about the condition of a steel or iron part that we are inspecting.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a commonly used method of detecting flaws such as cracks, pits, seams, and other surface imperfections. For this article, I turned to Jerry Lawson of Sunnen Products for advice. Jerry is an expert on MPI.
There is a reason to look closely at a flaw on the surface of a part. If the flaw is visible on the surface, how deep does it go? Not only that, but how deep will the flaw go if the part is used in racing service?
A surface flaw will often act as a stress point for a crack to develop. This is the reason highly stressed parts such as connecting rods are often "surface enhanced." If you have ever seen a polished set of connecting rods, you probably realize this work was not done to make the inside of an engine more beautiful. A smooth surface is less susceptible to stress points than a cast or forged part with a grainy finish. For this reason, highly stressed parts of an engine are often hand-worked and polished.
Properly used and with the right equipment, MPI can detect flaws even deep in the interior of the part. Such a situation might occur when the metal used in a forging or extrusion contains a contaminant particle. It's also possible that the part was forged at too low of a temperature where the metal could not flow together. This type of flaw would not be apparent on the surface.
The magnetic field that allows this process to work can be generated in two ways. It can be done with a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
The permanent magnet is the most common and least expensive. A refrigerator magnet is an example of a permanent magnet. These magnets are too weak to be useful in MPI testing, but you get the idea. Many shops have a U-shaped magnet that is very useful for finding cracks in the combustion chamber area. U-shaped electromagnets are also used for this purpose. They are usually stronger.
With either of these magnets, iron powder is blown or brushed onto the part to be tested. Then a magnetic field is applied to the part. This magnetic field will run uninterrupted across the surface if there is no flaw. If a crack is present, the magnetic field will be interrupted, making the magnetic field stronger at that point. When this happens, the iron powder will align itself along the edges of this crack. This gives a clear view of a crack that may be too small to be seen.
These U-shaped magnets, while adequate for cylinder head checking, leave something to be desired when testing other parts. Larger machines such as Sunnen's DCM are made with a large-diameter ring electromagnet. These units have the ability to grasp parts and feed them slowly through the magnetic field. This allows an operator to carefully inspect a part. Machines with this capacity are quite useful on cylinder heads that have been ported and perhaps overheated. Proper MPI procedures can detect flaws in thin port areas where water might be seeping out under pressure.
The Sunnen DCM has a recirculating fluid pump where the magnetic particles are held in suspension in a liquid. When a flaw shows up, the particles in the fluid will be immediately attracted to it. The fluid captures any free particles, reducing dust. Additionally, it washes away free particles, making it easier for the operator to identify a flaw.
The Sunnen DCM has a 14-inch internal diameter. The advantage of having this large size allows cylinder heads, crankshafts, and other large parts to be fed through the machine. Smaller parts such as connecting rods can be hand-held. Holding a small part with your hand allows you to turn the part around and in several directions. This way flaws in any area of the part can be found.
MPI machines can be either an alternating current (AC) or a direct current (DC). AC will concentrate the current on the surface of a part. Furthermore, AC will let the magnetic particles (iron dust) spread evenly across a part, thus assisting in the search for flaws. The AC process is used when the primary goal is to find surface defects. It is the type commonly used in automotive parts inspection.
The use of DC electricity allows a skilled operator to actually look under the surface. This can expose hidden defects in castings, forgings, and even in welded parts. Use the DC process on critical parts. Operator skill and having the correct machine are important here as there are no clearly defined fault lines such as surface cracks.
The electrical current in the magnetic field should flow in the direction that a crack is suspected to lie. We will use the crankshaft as an example. With it supported in the machine, the magnetic field will be passed from end to end. This will reveal cracks that are parallel to the centerline of the shaft. Next, the crankshaft will be passed through a circular magnetic field. This will reveal cracks around the journals as well as any flaws perpendicular to the shaft.
This is the reason a connecting rod should be exposed to the magnetic field in several positions. Using only one pass with the magnetic coil could cause you to miss cracks in other directions.
After a part is magnetized for inspection, it must then be demagnetized. If not, the part will attract steel and iron dust. With a crankshaft or a rod, it would be virtually impossible to reassemble an engine while keeping these parts clean. On the other hand, it might make little difference on an A-frame.
For the most part, you can't perform MPI at home. Machines such as the Sunnen are a tad expensive for the home-shop engine builder. However, if you call around, you should be able to find a shop with this type of equipment. The fee for checking some of your parts is reasonable considering the costs incurred if one of the parts were to break.
You can usually obtain one of the U-shaped permanent magnet yokes locally. With this you can check cylinder heads for cracks on their outer surfaces, deck, combustion chamber, and so on. Your nearest auto machine shop should be willing to part with some of the cast-iron dust gathered under its machinery. While a little bit coarse, this dust will get you started and you'll see how the process works.
MPI testing can find the beginnings of part failures before they actually fail. Iron dust will cling to an otherwise invisible surface flaw on a magnetized steel or iron part. Be sure to demagnetize an internal engine part. AC magnetics are used to detect surface flaws. DC magnetics can find internal flaws. MPI is a form of insurance. If it is important, then protect it.

Call it a 'tech demo' all you like but Quantic Dream (the folks behind the game Heavy Rain) have created one of the most moving 7 minutes of short film viewing I've seen in a while.
Directed by David Cage and modelled on / voiced by Valorie Curry, Kara tells the story of a disembodied operator (Tercelin Kirtley) running through a series of final checks on the assembling android Kara. She moves her eyes, sings in Japanese and takes her first few tentative steps before inadvertently putting her existence in jeopardy by being all too real.

Background Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a hereditary disorder caused by the deficiency of ferrochelatase (FECH) in the haem biosynthetic pathway. In the majority of families, EPP is transmitted as a pseudodominant trait. Autosomal recessive form of EPP is found in only about 3% of the families. Objectives In this study, we describe a 6-year-old boy who suffered from both EPP and palmar keratoderma. Methods and Results A novel homoallelic missense mutation (p.Ser318Tyr) was identified in the FECH gene. In addition, a region of homozygosity of approximately 6.8 Mb was observed in chromosome 18 of the patient by both microsatellite and SNP array. The parents of the patient, both of Palestinian (Jordanian) origin, were heterozygous for the S318Y mutation, although no history of consanguinity was known. Microsatellite genotyping identified a partial haplotype from each parent that corresponds to the region of homozygosity in the patient. Assuming S318Y is a founder mutation, the number of generations separating the two parents from their common ancestor from whom they inherited S318Y was estimated as 21.7 (95% CI 3.42-69.7). Conclusion EPP was therefore inherited as an autosomal recessive trait in the family. This study confirms the association between palmar keratoderma and autosomal recessive EPP.

Ingrid Torvund just finished her bachelor at the art academy i Oslo (Norway) ,where she focused on making this movie titled "Magic blood machine".In the movie we are introduced to a half-mad fairytale universe. During a series of tableaux, we see characters in masks, in a forest landscape that is trying to revive a teddy bear-like god figure, by reconstructing his body.In lingering images, we witness a mythological play without dialogue but with mysterious rituals, grief, time travel and hope.This is the book used in rituals in the film. Most of the filming took place in Kviteseid in Vest Telemark, where I grew up.Vest-Telemark is known for folk music, wood carving, storytelling and old churches, where pagan and christian symbols exist side by side.Dragons, angels, crosses and demons, troll and talking animals are all present in this tradition.This mixture has intrigued me greatly growing up.

The top 10 most prestigious jewelry brands ranked by high net worth consumers.
This story first appeared in the February 7, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The jewelry business continues to thrive despite the economy's wobbles. So which jewelry brands are sticking in the minds of luxury consumers? For its 2008 Jewelry Brand study, New York-based Luxury Institute provided more than 500 wealthy consumers (whose net worths averaged $15.1 million) with a predetermined list of 20 luxury jewelry brands and asked them to rank the names on four key aspects: superior quality; uniqueness and exclusivity; their social status, and which had excellent customer service. Scores from all four attributes were converted into the institute's Luxury Brand Status Index. "This ranking tells us what the wealthy deem to be prestigious, true luxury jewelry brands," said Milton Pedraza, the firm's chief executive officer.
Overall Luxury Brand Status Index score: 8.14
Respondents have ranked New York-based Harry Winston as having a great reputation and being the "ultimate for diamond design," said the Luxury Institute's study. One respondent concluded, "Harry Winston is the epitome of luxury." The brand, which had 18 stores at the end of last year, is planning to more than double its store count. Thomas J. O'Neill, president of Harry Winston Diamond Corp. and ceo of Harry Winston Inc., told WWD in November that the firm's ideal number would be between 40 and 45 retail outlets worldwide. O'Neill estimated that, once the brand hits 40 stores, sales will surpass the $1 billion mark. The opening price point in the stores is roughly $3,700 for a small pair of diamond earrings, and prices climb from there into the multimillions. The average sale is $40,000 to $50,000.
LBSI score: 8.04
"Buccellati isn't a ubiquitous brand, which is exactly why it ranks so highly," said Pedraza. "Each item in the collection is very customized — luxury consumers are recognizing this." Company president Andrea Buccellati said the firm's clients are looking for "luxury and exclusivity." The firm is known for its engraved brushed-gold and platinum jewelry embedded with fine stones, including rubies, emeralds, diamonds and sapphires. "We have owned their merchandise for years and feel it is the essence of great design and good taste," said one respondent in the study. "It's a trusted name and the quality is high," said another.
LBSI score: 8.04
Owned by Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, Van Cleef & Arpels is "moving up the ranks of the most prestigious jewelry houses," according to Pedraza. "They are doing a great job at positioning themselves as truly high-end." One respondent stated, "This brand is so high-end, its styling is timeless, and the designs are elegant and tasteful." The brand has been known to have a celebrity following over the years: Names from Marlene Dietrich and Eva Perón to Reese Witherspoon and Maggie Gyllenhaal have donned Van Cleef jewels for special events. In November, the firm unveiled its high jewelry collection, Ballet Précieux, at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden. The 80-piece collection mirrors the "Jewels" ballet and features three dance-inspired ranges centered on emeralds, rubies and diamonds.
LBSI score: 8.01
"Ultraexclusive luxury is riding a wave of unparalleled wealth — and it could just catapult uberexpensive jeweler Graff into a $1 billion brand," WWD noted in October. "We are in times we have never seen before," Henri Barguirdjian, president and ceo of Graff America, said. "There's more money than ever floating around." The average sales transaction for the firm: $400,000. Graff, which is based in London, is working to expand its presence worldwide with store openings in locations such as Tokyo, Hong Kong and Geneva scheduled for this year, as well as the long-planned new Manhattan flagship designed by Peter Marino.
LBSI score: 7.97
"It's all about the little blue box," noted one respondent when asked about Tiffany. "The brand is an American classic you can always depend on." WWD stated in November, "As more brands such as Chopard, De Beers, Tiffany, Leviev and Graff expand their assortments and store counts, diamonds are becoming more expensive." Tiffany has indeed been growing its store base, particularly in locations such as Japan, an historically weak spot for the brand. Last month, the retailer said it will open boutiques in Tokyo and Fukuoka on March 1. During its most recent quarter, Tiffany said it opened six locations, including Nagoya Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Hong Kong, London and Mexico City.
LBSI score: 7.91
"This brand's watches are excellent in craftsmanship," said one respondent surveyed. La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland-based Piaget is certainly known best for its lineup of watches — in fact, the brand introduced a $2.5 million one last year. Philippe Léopold-Metzger, president of Piaget, told WWD at the time, "The very expensive watches [in diamonds] used to be for the Middle East and Russia. Today, Europeans and Americans are also buying diamond watches." The brand has plenty of other sparkly offerings for big spenders beyond watches, however, such as the items from its diamond-studded Hearts & Charms collection, or the Limelight collection, which features gemstones such as purple and pink sapphires, along with a brilliant white opal and diamond Magic Hour ring. "Piaget is the Rolls-Royce of jewelry," another respondent said of the company.
LBSI score: 7.9
Last fall, Cartier opened its first South African boutique inside the Sandton City Mall. The Richemont-owned jeweler until recently only retailed a limited range of watches and accessories through authorized dealers in South Africa, but "is pulling out all the stops to make the new 2,700-square-foot space a destination store for South Africa and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa," reported WWD. "It is one of the truly great luxury brands," one respondent said. "My personal experience with them has always been superb." Interestingly, Richemont, which also owns Van Cleef & Arpels, IWC, Dunhill and Chloé, may alter its corporate structure because of planned changes in a favorable Luxembourg tax law. The company is considering several options, including whether to split its luxury goods operations from its tobacco holdings.
LBSI score: 7.89
"Riding the red carpet and rising demand, Chopard is staking much of its growth on one-of-a-kind jewelry that sells for millions of dollars," WWD said in October. In November, the Swiss watch and jewelry brand opened its 100th store, a 3,000-square-foot flagship at 709 Madison Avenue in Manhattan featuring a new design scheme. "This global creation of wealth is affecting us," said Marc Hruschka, Chopard's U.S. president and ceo. "It's a mixture of our traditional shoppers and a new growing-wealth class in the U.S. and globally. Our challenge is to communicate that we're not only a watch brand….People are looking at diamonds as art." The brand's jewels are worn by some of Hollywood's leading ladies, including Kate Winslet, Penélope Cruz, Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron.
LBSI score: 7.87
"Bulgari is unique and exceedingly elegant," commented one of the study's respondents. The company has officially launched e-commerce on bulgari.com, WWD reported in December. U.S. consumers "can have access to more than 800 styles including watches, jewelry, leather goods, accessories and gift items. Items on the Web site range from just under $200 to in excess of $38,000." The company also has been on an expansion tear, having opened stores across the globe, including two in Tokyo (one, a 10-floor tower in Ginza), along with locations in Boca Raton, Fla.; St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Costa Mesa, Calif., to name a few. Fourth-quarter sales of jewelry, Bulgari's core business, rose 14.3 percent to 148.3 million euros, or $214.7 million, which the company described as "outstanding."
LBSI score: 7.69
Founded in 1893 by Kokichi Mikimoto, the Japanese brand is perhaps the best-known manufacturer of cultured pearls worldwide. "If you like pearls, this is the best quality," said one respondent. Said another: "The brand pays meticulous attention to detail — I am extremely fond of the Mikimoto pieces I have purchased." Last year, the brand teamed with Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto to develop a fine jewelry collection. Composed of three separate groups totaling approximately 20 various pieces devoted to the pearl, the collection launched during couture week in Paris.

Dovydas Neverauskas
From BR Bullpen
Dovydas Neverauskas
- Bats Right,Throws Right
- Height 6' 3", Weight 170 lb.
- Born January 14, 1993 in Vilnius Lithuania
[edit] Biographical Information
Dovydas Neverauskas signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 9, 2009, the first Lithuanian to ink a deal with a major league club. The scout was Tom Randolph. He appeared in the 2009 MLB European Academy. Dovydas played baseball in Lithuania for the Sporto Vilkai BC (Sports Wolves) and Vilnius Baseball Clubs. Besides pitching, he also catches and plays third base.
In 2009, he played for the Lithuanian U16 National Team at the Senior League European Finals in Ramstein, Germany. He hit a home run in game two of the tournament.
He pitched in the Florida Instructional League Program during the fall of 2009 and joined the Pirates in minor league Spring Training in 2010. He made his pro debut on June 22, 2010, for the GCL Pirates, allowing two hits, a walk and two runs in 2 1/3 innings against the GCL Yankees; he whiffed two. Overall, he pitched in 6 games, giving up 14 hits and 6 runs in 10 innings, striking out 6 and walking 5. All of his appearances were on the mound, where his professional future appears to be for now.
Dovydas throws an 90-97 mph fastball, and also uses a curveball and a changeup in his pitching.
[edit] Family Information
Dovydas currently lives in Vilnius with his family. He comes from an athletic family; his mother was a professional basketball player and his father, Virmidas, was a pioneer in the early days of baseball in Lithuania. His father is also the head coach of the Vilnius Baseball Club as well as Head Coach for the Lithuanian U18, U16, and U14 National Teams.
[edit] Quotes
"He's a 16 year old with a classic pro pitcher's body, long and loose, and has made huge progress since the summer of 2008. The sky is the limit with Dovydas, and I honestly believe he was the best pitching prospect to come out of Europe this year. I truly believe he has the arm to be a major league pitcher." Tom Randolph, International Scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates who brokered the deal between the Pirates and Neverauskas

Dying Light doesn't just seem like an open-world game where players upgrade their skills and see no tangible change, it strikes us as a game that players will need to be paying close attention to. Additionally, players will have plenty of variety when it comes to the locations in Dying Light.
Learning from your successes and failures can often be a strong theme in some games, and Dying Light looks to be employing a similar sentiment in its combat. Maciej Binkowski, who is Dying Light's lead game designer, talked about how players will change as much as their characters do.
"When you play Dying Light you realize it's a game of skill, so as you progress it's not just about your character getting better, you get better yourself. If you [improve] you will become more comfortable with the game and we'll give you more toys [for doing] awesome stuff," Binkowski said.
From what we've seen from Dying Light thus far, the city of Harran looks devastated, but we haven't seen what other regions of the world look like, until recently that is. Binkowski spoke about a new region of Dying Light called Old Town.
"[Old Town] has a completely different vibe to it. It's much more beautiful [than the rest of Harran], but at the same time [it is] destroyed. You can see where the quarantine started.
"All of the cafes and restaurants are destroyed, the whole town is devastated, but still among the ashes you can see the beauty that is behind it. It's really important to notice that this part of the city is much more vertical, which creates a new kind of gaming experience," Binkowski said.
If you've had a chance to see Old Town for yourself then you understand the amazing contrast it presents when you look at the other parts of Dying Light we've seen. Not only will gameplay be different, but so will the types of visuals and landscapes players will be traversing across.
Dying Light was first introduced just before E3 2013 and is getting ready to launch this coming February. It'll be available on the PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Thanks, Gamereactor!

Google probes Gmail messages for better search results
Voice Search also coming to Iphones and Ipads
PERSONAL INFORMATION CURATOR GOOGLE has unveiled its latest search innovation - adding Gmail messages into search results.
The move is designed to offer Gmail users quick access to the most relevant search results, wherever they happen to be stored, bringing a Google search more in line with the search functionality of a desktop PC or mobile device.
"Sometimes the best answer to your question isn't available on the public web - it may be contained somewhere else, such as in your email," Google noted on its blog.
"We think you shouldn't have to be your own mini-search engine to find the most useful information - it should just work. A search is a search, and we want our results to be truly universal."
Google gave the example of a user planning a bike trip to Tahoe, who would see emails from their friends containing information about the best cycling trails or local places to eat as part of the search results.
These results would appear on the right-hand column of the search page, and could be expanded to show the whole email message, with standard search results appearing in the normal place.
At present, Google said Gmail search is only available as a limited trial, for English language users with a gmail.com address. Google Apps users cannot participate. Users will receive email confirmation once their account is ready.
Although Google has gone for the opt-in method rather than rolling this out across all its users, this new feature will no doubt set privacy alarm bells ringing about the potential for breaches leading to sensitive email messages being displayed to all contacts rather than just the opted-in user.
We contacted Google for confirmation on the timeframe for the rollout, and also to check if this is limited to certain territories, but have yet to receive that information.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms on contracts for cornerback Corey White and offensive tackle Marcel Jones, the team announced Monday. Both players signed four-year deals.
White, a fifth-round pick out of Samford, stands at 6 feet tall, 205 pounds and started for three years in college.
Jones was selected in the seventh round of the draft-- the Saints' final pick. Jones played his college football at Nebraska.
