Why does Hasbro not make ponies as good as this? D:
wowwwwww. nagyon gyonyoru
Köszi...és egyben a legnézettebb figurám is, pedig nem ez lett a legjobb.
me want!
Azt hiszem leginkább azzal a módszerrel lehet a rajzfilm figurák teljes részletességét visszaadni, amivel te dolgozol.
Köszi. Remélem később még szebbek lesznek, illetve bízom benne, hogy majd más , nem póni témában is tudok szépet alkotni.
Aztabetyár, ez quality work!
A tied a legjobb. Pedig van egy jó pár
Fantastic! I wish mine turned out that well!

Baszott jó lett!
Best custom Chrysalis so far.
Too bad you don't do commissions.
wow! i wouldn´t have thought that someone could make the holes in the legs that well! awesome!
what is it made out of?
Her mane reminds me of how Violet from the Incredibles and how her hair behaves.
Love it!
Love it!
8D Her transparent wings are my favorite part.
This turned out amazing!
That is FANTASTIC!! She is so well made, I love her legs and her mane it's just....wow. Fantastic.
I love it and I'm super jealous. I wish I could make something half as cool as this! I love the shading in the iris, especially. I know it says styrodur base but what other materials did you use? It looks like a smooth surface so I'm wondering in particular what substance that is, but I'm also curious about the wings! Again, beautiful work ^_^
Thank you. I don't do nothing speical with it. The smooth surface is the result of multiple grinding. The rest is my little secret.
Nice wings and head bobby thing.
love the style & proportions... could benefit from being a bit more smooth though, especially that eye.
that's amazing.
Oh, whoa...the legs must have been a pain...the mane too...everything really...
You did a fantastic job!

Contrary to popular belief, we don't have to go in for multiple expensive torture sessions to get rid of unwanted hair. We can get clinically-proven results in the comfort of our own home with the Silk'n Light-Based Hair Removal System ($499)! Patented Home Pulsed Light technology is safe and effective for home use because it signals our hair to stop growing without any chemicals. Hell, we bet inhaling the airborne chemicals in Nair is way more dangerous.
Most of the comments in Amazon say this product will only remove hair temporarily. Unfortunately it's not permanent.
The personal loans seem to be very useful for guys, which would like to start their organization. In fact, that's very easy to receive a collateral loan.
All people deserve very good life and mortgage loans or financial loan would make it better. Just because people's freedom depends on money.

Marshall Mathers is one angry young man, but it's all for show. And what a show: Mather's latest, The Eminem Show, is one helluva production, and listening to it makes you wonder why, after Mathers — aka Eminem, aka Slim Shady — has gotten everything he could have ever dreamed of, can't he let bygones be bygones? Heaven help the women who've ever been close to the rapper. The Eminem Show is littered with verbal assaults against his own mother and the mother of his child; it's exceedingly hard to believe they deserve them. Only his daughter and his mentor, Dr. Dre, are spared. But anyone who has dared utter a critical word is ripe for a creative lyrical punishment that shows nothing if not that Eminem has incredibly thin skin.
Eminem harbors his animosity because he wouldn't sell as many records if he simply let it go. As Eminem similarly puts it in this nasty, heavy metal-inspired number on The Eminem Show: "Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself/If they were brown Shady lose, Shady sits on the shelf." Ice Cube, Common, Brand Nubians and others spewed hate way before Eminem did, and they didn't raise our ire nearly as much as he has. Is it all because he's white? Eminem concedes his skin color has a lot to do with his popularity, and it's clear his fame troubles him for that very reason.
Eminem's tiring solipsism and lyrical content is galling. Even those rare occasions when Eminem attempts to be sweet on The Eminem Show don't last long. "Hailie's Song," named after his daughter, is a melodic number that starts off with the rapper coo-singing two genuinely tender verses to Hailie. It quickly turns bitter, with the self-styled "boogieman of rap" launching a tirade spiting his ex-wife. Yes, there's a whole lotta wrong with his singing, but I'd take it over his vengeful rapping any time.
Musically, Eminem sounds excellent. Nearly every song has a catchy chorus and propulsive beats that complement his captivatingly shrill rap-style. And shouldn't we be able to look past his vile lyrics by now? Aren't we numb to his hate? The catchy "Without Me," the first single from the album, sideswipes Moby ("bald headed fag, blow me") for having the audacity to gently speak out against Eminem's use of homophobic lyrics. "My Dad's Gone Crazy" is the pleasingly perky album closer that features Hailie as well as these words to critics everywhere: "If y'all leave me alone this wouldn't be my M.O./I wouldn't have to go, eenee, meenee, meini, mo, catch a homo by his toe/Am I the only fuckin' one who's normal any more?"
If this is normal, let's hope so. Despite the above statement to the contrary, it's clear Eminem won't be changing his M.O. any time soon. As he says on the forceful "Say What U Say" — "If I could only use this power for good, I wouldn't, not even if I could." Well, actually he could, you know. Whatever happened to social-activist rap anyway? Don't look to Eminem to deliver. He could be gay enemy number one, but he's no KRS-One, and certainly no Public Enemy. Fight the Power? Nah, Fight the Fight you created, to say you fought it. And to sell records.

The angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a phase 2 double-blind randomised controlled trial.
Cardiovascular Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA. email@example.com
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, but effective treatments are lacking. We assessed the efficacy and safety of LCZ696, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), in patients with this disorder.
PARAMOUNT was a phase 2, randomised, parallel-group, double-blind multicentre trial in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction 45% or higher, and NT-proBNP greater than 400 pg/mL. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) by central interactive voice response system to LCZ696 titrated to 200 mg twice daily or valsartan titrated to 160 mg twice daily, and treated for 36 weeks. Investigators and participants were masked to treatment assignment. The primary endpoint was change in NT-proBNP, a marker of left ventricular wall stress, from baseline to 12 weeks; analysis included all patients randomly assigned to treatment groups who had a baseline and at least one postbaseline assessment. This trial is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov, number NCT00887588.
149 patients were randomly assigned to LCZ696 and 152 to valsartan; 134 in the LCZ696 group and 132 in the valsartan group were included in analysis of the primary endpoint. NT-proBNP was significantly reduced at 12 weeks in the LCZ696 group compared with the valsartan group (LCZ696: baseline, 783 pg/mL [95% CI 670-914], 12 weeks, 605 pg/mL [512-714]; valsartan: baseline, 862 pg/mL [733-1012], 12 weeks, 835 [710-981]; ratio LCZ696/valsartan, 0·77, 95% CI 0·64-0·92, p=0·005). LCZ696 was well tolerated with adverse effects similar to those of valsartan; 22 patients (15%) on LCZ696 and 30 (20%) on valsartan had one or more serious adverse event.
In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, LCZ696 reduced NT-proBNP to a greater extent than did valsartan at 12 weeks and was well tolerated. Whether these effects would translate into improved outcomes needs to be tested prospectively.

In his later years, Cornelius had a troubled marriage. In 2009, he was sentenced to three years' probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor spousal battery. In his divorce case that year, he also mentioned having significant health issues.
When You're Just Not Feeling Right…
When you're feeling down, there are some simple steps that you can take that can make all the difference:
• Seek medical help. A mental health professional may help you make a full recovery.
• Exercise. Increasing your heart rate at least three hours a week (or 30 minutes a day) may help boost your body's natural mood-enhancers (endorphins)
• St. John's Wort. Taking 600 to 1,200 mg a day of a standardized herbal extract containing of 0.3% hypericin to help with mild to moderate depression—but talk to your doctor first as St. John's wort can interact with certain medications
• Iron. A lack of iron can make depression worse; check with a doctor to find out if you are iron deficient
• B vitamins. Take a supplement that contains folic acid and vitamins B12 and B6 to help correct deficiencies associated with depression.

We saw the hatch in person in New York (and loved it), and we wanted to see if the trunked version could hold onto the same mojo. If you like the Mazda6, then you should like the Mazda3 because it takes just about everything from its toothsome big brother and shrinks it into a compact package.

The Twin Cities were alive for the two days last week when Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy, a former "Mr. Hockey" in Minnesota, traveled throughout the state to visit during a two-day retreat with the Stanley Cup.
Leddy, according to Dane Mizutani of the Minnesota Daily, began his day with a small reception at his home in Eden Prairie before beginning his tour throughout the Twin Cities.
"We just took some photos and relaxed with it," Leddy told the newspaper. "It was awesome being able to share it with them because I wouldn't be here without their support."
After posing for pictures with the cherished trophy, he entered a limo with Keeper of the Cup, Howie Borrow, and his crew to begin their journey. Their first stop was the corporate offices of Shock Doctor, a sports equipment company and sponsor of Leddy, before heading to Maynard's Restaurant in Excelsior.
He'd stop at a few other restaurants in downtown Minneapolis before calling it a day. The second day of the Cup tour saw Leddy making stops at Eden Prairie Community Center and the University's Amplatz Children's Hospital.
As a senior at Eden Prairie High School, Leddy established career highs on the varsity level with 11 goals and 44 points. He'd garner the prestigious "Mr. Hockey" Award as the top scholastic player in Minnesota. He played an integral role in the school's first state championship.
Leddy acknowledged that his visit to the children's hospital was his favorite stop.
"It was really emotional for me," he said. "I was so happy to be able to share that with those kids. It was a lot of fun."
He capped off Day 2 with a visit to his old stomping grounds at Mariucci Arena at the University of Minnesota. Leddy, selected in the 2009 NHL Draft in the first round (No. 16) by the Wild and traded to the Blackhawks in February 2010, spent the 2009-10 season with the Golden Gophers before turning professional.
Upon arriving at Mariucci, to the tune of the Blackhawks' anthem, "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis, Leddy posed for pictures before meeting fans in the lobby of the arena. He'd remain there for almost an hour with the fans and even got an opportunity to see old friend Kyle Rau. Rau, who also played at Eden Prairie High School, was selected in the third round (No. 91) of the 2011 draft by the Florida Panthers. He was named "Mr. Hockey" in 2011.
"He could have taken [the Cup] anywhere, but he's not forgetting where he came from," Rau said.
Leddy said spending two days with the Cup was certainly memorable.
"It went by fast, but I'm glad I got to have my day with it," he said. "It definitely gives me some motivation to do it again."
Leddy had six goals and 18 points in 48 regular-season games with the Blackhawks and added two assists in 23 playoff matches.

Finding and capturing shapes in ice using design elements of shape, form, texture, and lines.
This image is one of several in a series about abstract photography in ice. These shapes can be found after the water freezes over and then refreezes. Chunks of ice that do not completely melt have smooth edges and refreeze into unique shapes. Often they produce unique abstract shapes as they refreeze in their environment.
Abstract images need the design elements of shape, form, texture, and lines. The overall shape of this image is like a headless Greek god, or perhaps a spear thrower in mid stride. The shape brings an otherwise cold piece of ice alive. The curved lines produce a sensual feeling that keep drawing you into it. The surface texture is created by all of the trapped air bubbles and cracks in the ice.
The background is the creek bed filled with small rocks distorted by the water. The colors are warm earth tones contrasted against the blue ice of the sculpture. The rest of the ice is non descript and it does not distract from the background. It does give the subject a place to come from and is connected.
The camera was set up on a tripod and tilted straight down. The goal was to have the focal plane of the camera parallel with the surface of the ice. The aperture is set at f/9.0 and at this distance the focus depth is enough to capture all of the ice shape. This is set up on the shore looking down into the shallow stream below. The exposure settings are Aperture f/9.0, shutter speed 1/60 sec, and white balance at sunny day. The lens is a 70-300 mm set at 112 mm. The exposure program is set on manual.

Monica Valluri uses numerical calculations and simulations to probe observed galactic phenomena in order to understand the physical processes that produce them. Her current focus areas are supermassive black holes (see below) and the interactions between dark matter and luminous matter in galaxies. Her analysis of simulations of dark matter halos have shown, for example, why those with gas and stars tend to be rounder. It appears that the luminous matter serves to slightly deform dark matter particles' box-shaped orbits, resulting in a halo that is rounder than if it were comprised solely of dark matter. The implication is that the orbits of the Milky Way's stars might serve as a probe of its dark halo's shape.
Valluri showed that tidal forces that affect the evolution of galaxies in clusters need not always rip them apart, but can produce "compressive shocking" when a galaxy passes through the dense dark matter cusp in a cluster's center. Her "compressive shocking" analysis has subsequently been applied in a variety of other contexts, especially as a way to explain the intense bursts of star formation in the centers of galaxies. Valluri's work on black holes has allowed her both to explain how they affect the shape of their host galaxies and to generate more accurate mass measurements for them. For the former, she showed (with David Merritt) that a central black hole (whose mass is about 1/1000th the mass of its host galaxy) can cause "chaotic scattering" of the orbits of a sufficient number of stars to transform the galaxy's overall shape.

Video: Vending machine makes people do crazy tasks for free food
12:28 10 July 2012
Meet the Delite-o-matic – the vending machine which makes people do crazy things just to get a free snack.
As a prank, the machine was put in a mall in Australia with the promise that people could get free boxes of Delites rice snacks.
However, as people approached the machine they were set challenges before the snacks were released, ranging from pressing a button many thousands of times to performing hilarious acts.
The machine tested just how people would go for free food.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and effect of sleep-disordered breathing in ambulatory patients with stable, optimally treated congestive heart failure.
Design: A prospective, longitudinal study.
Setting: Referral sleep laboratory of a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center.
Patients: 42 of the 48 eligible patients with stable congestive heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%).
Measurements: After an adaptation night, polysomnography and Holter monitoring were done in the sleep laboratory. Arterial blood gases and pH were measured, and cardiac radionuclide ventriculography and pulmonary, renal, and thyroid function tests were done.
Results: Patients were divided into two groups. Group I (n = 23) had an hourly rate of apnea and hypopnea (apnea–hypopnea index) of 20 episodes per hour or less; group II (n = 19 [45%; CI, 30% to 60%]) had an index of more than 20 episodes per hour. In group II, the index varied from 26.5 to 82.2 episodes per hour (mean ±SD, 44 ±13 episodes per hour; CI, 38 to 51 episodes per hour). Group II had significantly more arousals (24 ±12 compared with 3 ±3 in group I) that were directly attributable to episodes of apnea and hypopnea, longer periods of time with an arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation of less than 90% (23% ±24% of total sleep time compared with 2% ±4%), lower arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep (74% ±13% compared with 87% ±4%), lower left ventricular ejection fraction (22% ±9% compared with 30% ±10%), and a significantly increased number of episodes of nocturnal ventricular arrhythmias. Multiple regression analyses showed that left ventricular systolic dysfunction was an independent risk factor for sleep apnea in patients with congestive heart failure.
Conclusions: The prevalence of severe occult sleep-disordered breathing is high in ambulatory patients with stable, optimally treated chronic congestive heart failure. The breathing episodes are associated with severe nocturnal arterial blood oxyhemoglobin desaturation and excessive arousals. Severe untreated sleep-disordered breathing may adversely affect left ventricular function, resulting in a vicious cycle that could contribute to death in patients with congestive heart failure. Prospective, longitudinal studies on survival are needed.
AH I = apnea–hypopnea index; CA I = central apnea index; OAH I = obstructive apnea–hypopnea index; Ar I DB = arousal index associated with disordered breathing; BASE SAT = baseline arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation in supine position before sleep onset; LOW SAT = lowest arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep; SAT < 90%, min = time in sleep (in minutes) when arterial oxyhemoblobin saturation was less than 90%; SAT < 90%, TST = percentage of total sleep time when arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation was less than 90%. Values are expressed as mean ±SD.

We all have "those days": nothing seems to be going quite right, you feel stressed and gloomy right from the start, and you just wish you could curl back into bed and start over. Trust me, I've been there.
On days like that, we need an infusion of joy to break us out of our funk. Whether there is a specific reason for feeling down, or it really is "just one of those days", here are a few small things you can do to help lift your spirits and bring more joy into your world:
- Go outside. It is simple, yes, but sometimes this is all it takes to lift my mood. Exposure to natural light increases the serotonin levels in the brain, which elevates feelings of well-being. I also find that enjoying nature cheers me up considerably.
- Stretch. Stretching is excellent for decreasing stress and boosting energy as well as mood. Just a few minutes of yoga often changes the tone of my day dramatically.
- Take five (or ten, or twenty). Make yourself some herbal tea. Curl up with a favorite book. Just sit quietly. Taking a little bit of time to yourself in the midst of a busy or stressful day can make such a difference.
- Create. Make something. Write. Photograph. Getting your creative juices flowing and allowing how you feel to come out in your art can help significantly, and doing something constructive and tangible always makes me feel good.
- Treat yourself. Buy yourself flowers. Paint your nails. Whip up one of your favorites in the kitchen. Love on yourself a little– you deserve it.
What do you do to break out of a bad mood or brighten a gloomy day? Please share in the comments!

As if tonight's season premiere wasn't enough, Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first glimpse of Klaus and Elijah in 12th century garb (and hair!). In the accompanying video, costume designer Leigh Leverett talks about her style choices, and which character's look was deliberately altered a bit from the period norm.
"I look at research from the period and find the best styles… that I think fit our show," Leverett says about the three costumes she created for the episode. "We actually built all of this in our tailor shop."
We've also got a few more interviews and goodies to help tide you over until tonight:

MTV Hollywood Crush has an interesting chat with Daniel Gillies about the flashback episode of The Vampire Diaries he's shooting for Season 4. In case you'd thought Elijah's hair had revealed all of its secrets, Gillies assures us there will be yet another incarnation of the Original's signature hairdo in the 11th century. Elijah's coiffure aside, he does have plenty more to say on the subject of the Original family and why Elijah is an important force while Klaus is still in the picture.
"[Elijah is] going to be back, and what role do we expect him to play? I think Elijah brings order. Whenever he returns, s–t gets done," Daniel explained. "He's sort of the stabilizer. There's always a shift in the equilibrium. I think he's the only one who can truly sort of restrain his brother. I think he's the only one with the dignity/lucidity to be able to strategize a way out of Mystic Falls and into some sort of sanctuary for their family. I'm not saying that's what he's going to do, I'm saying that's what he's capable of. I think if the family listened to Elijah, they'd be in an excellent place to position themselves in this very contemporary world that wants them all gone."

Zap2It's Carina MacKenzie has more from her Vampire Diaries on-set interviews. Paul Wesley discusses the "new" Stefan viewers noticed in The Return – though is it a Stefan that's more himself, hmm? – and how this season will bring out a focused, lighter side of the younger Salvatore. And is Stefan heading for his own Alaric-Damon-esque bromance? (I'm posting this part especially for Red, who maybe flailed a bit.)
"I can't see Stefan ever having other romantic relationships," Wesley says, "but he'll definitely have some more platonic relationships in Season 2. I can say that for sure. We're going to expand his horizons a bit." When I mention the hint of friendship that emerged between Stefan and Matt (Zach Roerig) last season, Wesley says he expects that to continue to grow.

According to ComicBook.com on Sunday, Michigan film production incentives which had made it possible for "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" to be filmed in the state, could be reduced the following year. The state was hopeful in bringing back Zack Snyder to the region in hopes to continue it's DC Cinematic Universe franchise.
The state allowed for a $35 million incentive in which Warner Brothers had taken full advantage, but the condition of the incentive given to the studios was dependent upon how much of it's own budget it would spend while filming in the state. This means that Warner Brother's is eligible for up to 35% of their film production money for the incentive they wish to receive. The full approximation of these expenditures by the studios comes to $131 million.
Unfortunately, the next time around incentives for film production in Michigan is likely to be cut in the future and with they key backer ending his term. That being said, when he leaves, the question of funding for this incentive program will be considered in favor of cutting costs.
This has been a controversial subject as some citizens of certain states are of the opinion that their money should be better spent on other things. Some tax payers are of the mind that state funds should not be squandered on Hollywood studios. Such a situation of controversy reared its head when North Carolina wanted to subsidize funding for "Iron Man 3" starring Robert Downey, Jr.
There had been high hopes Snyder returning to Michigan for the "Justice League" continuance, but that may be up in the air considering the critical financial situation of the state. "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot and is scheduled to be released come May 6, 2016.

Smokey was surrendered to Dillon County Animal Shelter, their Facebook page reported January 22. Now he's in search of a loving forever home.
This 3-year-old beauty, who was surrendered (a kinder word than dumped) by his owner at the shelter, has already been neutered and is up to date on his immunizations.
Take a look at that face! The poor little guy is just sitting there, clueless as to why his family decided he was no longer welcome in their home.
To date, $111 in pledges have been raised to help get Smokey out of the shelter, and on his way to a new life.
Are you the one he's waiting for? Can you offer Smokey a forever home to call his own? If so, please contact Dillon County Animal shelter by email at email@example.com or by calling (864)841-8884.
You can keep up with Smokey's story on his Facebook thread. Please share this sweet guy, especially with friends in the Dillon, South Carolina area.

Another homage to the weekend--and a long weekend in particular because of the holiday--brings a story of a simple Meat Boy out to rescue his one and only, Band-Aid Girl.
Meat Boy, or Super Meat Boy (aptly named for its successor) is a platformer game reminiscent of the old-school Super Mario games. With a cast of colorful characters, the player travels through different worlds in order to same Band-Aid Girl.
The original prototype for Super Meat Boy, Meat Boy can be found and played at Newgrounds. The game goes through an extensive list of levels for the player to run, jump and wall-jump through. The game moves at a quick pace and has its share of traps, buzz saws and projectile shooters.
Check out the original flash game as well as the new Super Meat Boy coming to WiiWare and PC this summer!

From Royce via text to me:
Zach Randolph was fined $25,000 by the league for confronting Kendrick Perkins, the league announced Monday. With two minutes left in Memphis' 107-97 win over the Thunder, Perkins and Randolph were ejected for talking trash at the free throw line. The two then exchanged words in the tunnel by the team's locker room.
The Thunder and the OKC Police denied an altercation happened, but after a league investigation, it was obviously determined enough happened to warrant a fine for Randolph. The next time the Thunder and Grizzlies play is January 31st in Oklahoma City.

About Us
MissionThe Child Welfare Institute is a leader and innovator in professional development and systems change.
VisionThe Child Welfare Institute believes that professional and organizational change is possible when public and private organizations and community members work together.
On June 6, 2001, Governor Lincoln Almond signed an agreement between the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families (RIDCYF) and the Rhode Island College School of Social Work (RICSSW), establishing the Rhode Island Child Welfare Institute (CWI). As a result of this agreement, CWI staff co-located within Rhode Island College's School of Social Work. CWI enjoys the partnership and support of the faculty and staff from the RICSSW. CWI staff serve as teaching resources to the RICSSW's undergraduate and graduate social work programs, where they share the message of child welfare practice.
Since its implementation, CWI successfully implemented a six month core pre-service training program for newly hired employees. In addition to its pre-service program, CWI lead the way in intermediate and advanced training for professionals in child welfare and human service systems. Through RI's Child and Family Services Review, the Administration for Children and Families, (ACF) identified CWI as an asset for RI's DCYF and community partners.
CWI continues to utilize training as an opportunity to engage critical constituents in dialogue that will help to inform ongoing change for Rhode Island's children, youth, and families and the professionals who work with them.

TEMPE, Ariz. (www.TheSunDevils.com) -- The California Golden Bears scored 13 runs in the fifth inning en route to a 20-8 victory over the No. 5 Arizona State Sun Devils Saturday afternoon in Pac-10 Baseball action at Packard Stadium.
The Golden Bears evened their season record at 14-14 with the victory to improve to 2-0 in Pac-10 play. ASU lost consecutive games for the first time in 2004 to fall to 19-5 overall and 0-2 in conference play.
California jumped out to an early 7-4 lead behind a four-run second and a pair of two-run frames in the third and fourth inning. The three-run margin would be as close as the Sun Devils would get as Cal sent 18 batters to the plate in the 13-run fifth inning. The 13 runs given up by the Sun Devils tied the school record set in 1997 against UCLA.
The Golden Bears recorded 19 hits in the contest and had three players with four RBI. Center fielder David Weiner was 2-for-5 with four RBI and catcher Garrett Bussiere was 4-for-6 with four runs driven in. Left fielder Justin Nelson scored four runs and hit his fourth home run of the year in the victory.
Relief pitcher Blake Read (1-0) earned the win out of the bullpen after giving up four hits and two runs in two innings. Matt Swanson picked up his first save of the year giving up three hits in three and two-thirds innings.
Arizona State junior starting pitcher Jason Urquidez (Simi Valley, Calif.) was saddled with his first loss as a Sun Devil. Urquidez was roughed up for four hits and three runs in just an inning and a third. Five ASU pitchers followed to give up 13 hits and 17 runs. Freshman Josh Blake (Overland Park, Kan.) was the lone bright spot for the ASU pitching staff, throwing 4.1 scoreless innings. The 20 runs marks the first time since the National Championship game in 1998 that an ASU squad has given up 20 runs in a game. USC defeated the Sun Devils 21-14 in that contest.
The Devils pounded out 13 hits in the loss, led multi-hit games from Chris Cook (2-for-3, HR) and Seth Dhaenens (2-for-4, RBI). Sophomore designated hitter Nick Cadena (Glendale, Ariz.) blasted his first home run of the year and junior shortstop Dustin Pedroia blasted his team-leading 15th double of the year.
Arizona State will try to salvage the final game of the series on Sunday against the Golden Bears. Freshman right-hander Zechry Zinicola (1-1, 5.25 ERA) is scheduled to start on the mound for the Sun Devils.
Game Notes: Junior All-American outfielder Jeff Larish did not play due to a wrist injury and is out for the weekend... Larish will be evaluated by a doctor with more information available on Monday... Dustin Pedroia and Seth Dhaenens each extended their hitting streaks to six games.

Skateboard Park
May 06, 2011 | 10:49 PM
The longer I live here the more and more I am amazed at how backward this area is and the hard thing about it is this area is so close to civilization. I mean I just can't understand what the problem is with people here not wanting to improve the area, attract business which brings in revenue and jobs and doing so will hold the line on taxes to the residents. Everything that is discussed or presented to this area is always talked down. Is everyone so rich and well off that we don't need revenue here? Yet everyone screams at the higher and higher costs they have to pay for services. The way to solve that is bringing in more revenue to offset the higher costs.
I have seen a steady decline in business in this area over the last 10 years and it shows everywhere you go. All the empty storefronts, homes, for sale signs and so on. This area use to be so vibrant and busy most of the year and now it is becoming a ghost town. Even in the spring and fall. You know if I was a big company or even a mid sized company I would have to think 2 and 3 times before considering moving my company here. I would even have to think twice as a resident to consider opening a small business here.
The skateboard park is something that the local kids need and should be supported. Also it could be used to attract visitors to the area. I don't know if there is a cost to use it. But if not maybe there should be one to help pay for upkeep. As for someone working it, maybe the city could get a few high school kids to volunteer or pay them minimum wage to work it. Have an adult supervisor oversee it. But let it make money for itself.
This entire area from Genoa City,Lake Geneva, Pell Lake and Como needs to get its head out of the sand and seriously look into ways to attract business. Bars, Restaurants and Antique shops just don't cut it anymore. Pretty flower pots on lamp posts does not attract revenue.
This area and please excuse the terms needs a huge shot of adrenalin or an enema. I mean we are dying a slow economic death around here. Camelot is dying and it looks like no one cares.
It use to be enough for tourists to come here because of the beautiful lakes. Well those days are gone. People need things to do after they do the lake thing. A few years ago there was a hot air balloon company that wanted to open a small factory on the sight of the racetrack. They were going to make the baskets, balloons, have balloon rides and other things for tourists. That was shot down because of fear a balloon might land in a neighborhood. Just think about what an attraction that would have been. So many people would have loved to see the area from the sky.

Yes, guys approach girls for sex. There isn't much hiding this fact. Guys love sex and women do not. This gap in the way of thinking is what generally bombs a pickup line and the approach. It is not the way the pickup line s chosen or the way a pickup line is said but the whole idea behind the pickup line which is completely wrong. For guys, physical pleasure matters the most. But for women, it is the emotional pleasure and the emotional fun that they are after. Emotions play a big role for women and a woman's emotions and her moods determine who she dates and who she talks to. Off course, you can make the decision for her by choosing the line for the occasion and also by choosing the correct woman for the line. Women choose who they want to be picked up. But for guys this can made into a simple process. It is important to know that women love men who love them. Women like being loved. They do not like to be treated like whores or prostitutes. They like to be felt and they like to be treated with dignity. If sex is on the mind, then approaching a woman in a setting that does not exude sexual confidence is a strict no-no.
Women like that men are attracted to their physical form. But what entices woman into being with the man is his originality. Men who approach women with sexual innuendos are more successful in bagging up a number. It is important to realize that women want an emotional connect and it is important they feel good about themselves when they are with their man. It is a challenge to keep the woman interested. Hence it is important to use the right lines at the right time to make the best of it and make the woman feel like she is needed and she is loved. The best pickup lines are not those that make the woman feel bad. They are not those that are obscene. They are not those that are bad or evil and are not those that women would not like to hear. It is imperative that the pickup line be generic to start with. But pick up lines can also be varied. They can be humorous. Pickup lines can be funny. Pick up lines can be romantic. Pickup lines can be sexy. Pickup lines can be lame and stupid. Pick up lines can be good and pickup lines can be bad. Pickup lines can be innovative. Women love innovative pickup lines. Women like pickup lines that are different. Women love men who are different or at least those who try to be different.
Often many men fail to understand the complexities of women. Men should first remember that all women are like maths problems and are completely complex like math problems. Hence, figuring out women are very similar to learning maths. For instance, maths often seems to be very easy to solve if one knows all the formulas to the problems. Each math problems has a different set of formulas required to solve the problem and formulas as well as equations are the building blocks of maths. Without these, learning maths is a challenging task and for most an arduous journey. Many men often prefer to give up and stay away from maths once it is no longer a compulsory subject. But, men should realize that women are much like maths. Women's brains and thought processes are very similar to the intricacies of maths. Just like maths, they require different formulas to please and understand. Women are not easy to understand and men probably will never fully understand them. But, men should know that all women long for a man who would charm her and swoop her off her feet. Once, the man learns the tricks or the formulas then it is fun and easy. While, there are many tricks, it is necessary to master them. Men should also remember that women are intricate and would want many things. However, women only want men who appeal to their inner desires and please them.
A particular characteristic that women admire in men is their ability to make them laugh with funny pick up lines. Funny pick up lines often come in handy as they help to break the ice. Not only do these lines help to get women's attention by making them laugh, but also encourages starting a conversations with the man. The best part about funny pick up lines are that they are not sexual in nature. Funny Pick up lines is definitely not in the league of other pick up lines like romantic pick up lines. However, while romantic pickup lines often need a particular time and environment to succeed; funny pick up lines can be used at any particular time in pretty much in any situation and with every woman available. Women also love innovative pick up lines. Often, men tried to inspire themselves by copying lines from books and movies. Innovation helps as such innovative lines help break the ice. Being innovative is the key to getting the number. So why not go all the way. Imagine using a line from a popular mathematical TV show which also is a crime fighting show. It would definitely make for an excellent conversation starter and not just conversations but also as openers. Imagine using these lines. It might just stun a woman for a moment but she will be pleasantly surprised to hear something innovative and imaginative. More importantly she will be happy to hear something different and will respond well to the words. It is these innovative lines that make picking up women an easy task.

Skin and blubber samples of ten adult male Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) from Alaska were used to investigate the relationship between organochlorine (OC) levels in skin and blubber of individuals. For analyses we selected 11 components that were quantified in the blubber of all individuals: hexachlorocyclohexanes (αHCH and βHCH), the DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) metabolite p,p′DDE, oxychlordane, and 7 individual PCB congeners, 28, 99, 105, 118, 138, 153 and 180. The correlation between the levels in the two types of tissues was significant and the relation was isometric for all components. The regression coefficient between levels in blubber (dependent variable) and levels in skin (independent variable) was different from 1 for only four of the components. The mean levels in the two types of tissues were significantly different for 3 of the 11 chemical components (βHCH, oxychlordane, and PCB28). Although this analysis is based on only ten individuals, we propose that skin samples taken by biopsy darts can be used to monitor OC levels in walruses. In August 1993 skin biopsies were collected from 25 adult male Atlantic walruses (O. r. rosmarus) at haul-out sites in southeastern Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic and from 28 walruses of different sex and age at haul-out sites at Franz Josef Land in the Russian Arctic. The mean levels of OCs were 2–10 times higher at Svalbard than at Franz Josef Land. The dominant OC component was PCB153 in both areas. A principal component analysis detected differences between areas in OC levels but not in patterns. Since the Franz Josef Land samples were mainly taken from females and young individuals and the Svalbard samples were taken largely from adult males, we believe the differences in tissue OC levels observed from these areas can be explained by differences in sex and age of the walrus sampled. Comparable organochlorine levels in skin samples from walruses from other areas are not available. However, compared to the corresponding OC levels found in walrus blubber in other areas, the OC levels from Svalbard and Franz Josef Land are higher. The high levels of OCs in walruses from Svalbard and Franz Josef Land may be a combined effect of high pollution level in the environment and seal-eating habits. In the present study we show that it is possible to use skin biopsies taken by a non-destructive method to assess OC levels in walruses.

Grosser's Nostalgia Trip
Our Model Railroads in photos
de Renee Grosser NMRA Master Modeler Structures Ray Grosser NMRA Master Model Railroader #362
This is a book of photos of Renee Grosser's marvelous scratch built models of the many houses and structures that she has built over the last 20 + years. Renee is an NMRA Master Modeler Structures and Master Modeler Scenery. Ray Grosser is an NMRA Master Model Railroader MMR #362. Together we have built a number of model railroads in Z, N, HO, O and now in 1.6 scale 7-1/2 inch gauge.
I grew up in Glenwood MN in the 40's and 50's right across the road from the Soo Line depot. Renee grew up in Waite Park MN right across from the Great Northern car shops, so we both have a lot of railroad in our systems. I became a transformed Christian in 1963 and I have sought to preach the Lord Jesus Christ where ever and when ever possible. Some of our greatest blessings have come in seeing others being transformed by the Spirit of the Living God. Renee and I have enjoyed the hobby of model railroading and we have built models in a lot of different scales, Z-N-HO-O-and now 1.6 scale. Writing this memoir and recognizing the blessings we have received has been a blessing in itself. We praise Messiah of Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53.

Well let us consider what this board offers: Buttons, test points, post reader, Dual Bios… It was covered!
What was not covered is Virtu MVP. It was used in most of the graphics benchmarks and it makes a big difference. At times we have to pick and choose what we feel best represents the product and though it is offered on this board it is not the main attraction. What was also not mentioned was the fact that we neglected to post our best PCMark7 score on HWBot ( http://3dmark.com/pcm7/348293 ) but we are not chasing gold here we are looking for comparison. Still we got 36th place globally for a quad core ( hwbot.org/submission/2286189_ ) and a gold cup. We get the GOLD and so does Gigabyte.
Thank you Gigabyte, this has been interesting. We had fun, we learned a little, we got some gold and we got hooked on a new game!
The product page for the GA-Z77X-UD3H is here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4153#dl
This board can be purchased at Newegg for 159.99
I've been lonikog for a post like this forever (and a day)
I actually was searching for techniques for my very own site and uncovered your own posting, "[Review] Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H | TechREACTION", will you care in cases where I really implement a handful
of of your points? With thanks -Michaela
I Think posting, "[Review] Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H | TechREACTION" was just right!
I personallycan't agree with you more! At last looks like I personallyidentified a internet site worthy of reading. Many thanks, Penni
Carol if the memory sticks (each) meet the compatibility requirements of the motherboard then the three sticks would run in single channel.
Does anyone know what would happen if I put 3 sticks of triple-channel ram in this motherboard?
Would it run as double-channel?
Single channel?
Not work at all?
Tim, thinking about it I do understand your issue. I don't think it is that it is so much a matter of lazy as it is being strapped for time (I could be wrong). I honestly do not like doing a summary because it sums up my (our) opinions on things. We want you to form your own opinion.
When the review is being done we must pick and choose what gets covered. We look at what other sites have done (if we are not the first) and we try to compliment, supplement, possibly contradict findings and give a more full picture of the product.
This review focused on the value added components of the product instead of the OC prowess of the CPU or the video card. There are just too many variables involved where motherboard performance is concerned to jump into a benchmark frenzy.
This is why there is no summary. If there were to be a summary it would be half the size if the review itself. It would be focused on benchmarks that are dependent on variables that are not able to be controlled by Gigabyte and if we had some weak components it could cause this board to get a bad review.
Sorry about that. The conclusion is just that, it is a conclusion. What we decided about the product. It is not a recap, it is a conclusion. I am sorry you are lazy and can not find the time to look through the article.
In essence there was nothing negative to say about the board. Yeah there were things like more USB ports that could have been added, all x16 slots and nothing smaller could have been used, 8 -10 SATA connectors… but then we would have a more expensive board on our hands.
This was a conclusion not a summary and conclusion. Gold was the conclusion with a crusher award because of the work Team AU did with this board.
You see im lazy, I just like to read conclusions on articles because they should generally sum everything up. Yours doesn't…

Cycling Shoes
Whether you're a casual bike commuter, a road rider, an off-road rider, or a combination of the three, good cycling shoes can increase your pedalling performance, decrease fatigue, and make riding your bike more enjoyable.
Commuting shoes generally incorporate the comfortable fit of a street shoe with the stiff sole of cycling shoes – think of a good day hiker with a very firm sole. The goal is to strike a balance between pedalling efficiency and off-bike comfort. Many shoes in this category can also be used with a clipless pedal system. Most are suitable for light trail riding and cycle touring on paved roads. Dedicated trail riders would be better off with true off-road MTB cycling shoes.
Road Shoes
Worn in conjunction with a good clipless pedal system, road shoes are standard equipment for virtually all roadies, whether recreational riders or racers. Designed for speed, road shoes have a narrow profile that holds your foot (specifically your heel) in place, with the help of Velcro® straps and locking buckles. Road shoes are designed to be lightweight and rigid. Unfortunately this combination does not make them very comfortable to walk in – except, perhaps, for quick pit stops and ducking into coffee shops.
Cross-country cycling shoes resemble road riding shoes in many ways. Like a road shoe, cross-county MTB shoes have a very stiff sole designed for a clipless pedal system. In addition, they may have a combination of laces, hook-and-loop straps, or buckles. They're also styled like road shoes. The key difference is that off-road shoes have aggressive outsoles that make walking on steep, muddy, or otherwise unrideable terrain much easier. High-end shoes may also have removable toe studs for even more traction.
Freeride/downhill shoes look, fit, and feel like soft, flat-bottomed skateboard shoes. Many free-riders have adopted this style to make riding off, over, and around stunts much safer. Flat-bottomed shoes allow you to get your feet off the pedals a split second faster than clipless pedals. When a fall is imminent, a split second can be the difference between a sweet recovery and a horrible crash.
You may still see downhill racers opting for clipless pedal and shoe systems. Clipless pedals offer added control and pedalling power. Also, being "locked" in to the bike prevents a racer from losing their footing on the pedals, or worse, being bounced right off the bike.

When a person, known as a testator, executes a will, he usually stores it in a secure location not readily available to others. While this is good practice for avoiding theft, damage and mere curious snooping, it could permanently keep the will hidden if the testator fails to leave instructions for retrieving the document after the testator's death. If this happens, however, you likely may be able to hunt it down by checking the most common places where wills are kept.
Protect your loved ones with a will
Create an affordable will with LegalZoom
Secured Lockbox
One of the most common places to store a will is in a secured lockbox inside the home. Many testators use a fireproof box with a lock-and-key to keep their wills safe from fire or other disasters, theft and accidental destruction. Locked filing cabinets and personal safes are also popular for the same reasons, and are often kept in the testator's master bedroom or home office. However, note that if you are searching the testator's personal belongings to find his will, there may be some legal obstacles to overcome first. If you suspect the will is inside a locked box and you are not the testator's surviving spouse, you will likely need to obtain permission from the probate court to open it, even if you are the appointed executor.
Appointed Executor
A testators can furnish an appointed executor with a signed copy of her will for safekeeping, so the executor may already have a valid copy on hand. If not, the testator may have provided the executor with instructions for locating and retrieving the will after her passing. The executor should be able to furnish you with a copy upon request, although if the executor does possess the will, be aware that he needs to file the signed version with the probate court and cannot provide you with an original copy.
Family Attorney
If the testator retained an attorney to draft her will, the attorney may have a copy -- it is not uncommon for testators to use an attorney as a witness to a will and leave a signed copy behind for safekeeping. If you know the name of the testator's attorney, request the original copy the attorney has on file. The attorney may also have a digital copy of the will, although the probate court is unlikely to uphold a printed copy if it lacks the testator's signature.
Office of the County Recorder
While not widespread in practice, some testators file a copy of their signed wills with their local office of the county recorder. Once filed, the will becomes a part of public record for anyone to review or request. If you know the testator filed a copy of his will with the local county recorder, you may be able to obtain the original filed copy, bearing the original signatures of the testator and the witnesses, which the probate court should acknowledge as valid.
County Probate Court
A few states permit a testator to file a copy of her will with the probate court and obtain a docket number for future proceedings. If so, the probate court has the original copy of the signed will, which becomes a matter of public record immediately after filing and is available to the general public. You can request a copy of the filed will from the clerk of the probate court, although you will need to pay a nominal administrative fee to cover the costs of searching and reproducing the will. If the testator's estate already completed probate more than seven years prior to your request, the will is likely to be found in the court's storage facilities. You can still request a copy, but it can take up to six to eight weeks for a clerk to locate the will, and you will likely incur a considerably larger administrative fee as a result.
