They are completely biased in their banning practices. There are hackers all over the maps and they dont get banned. They are reaching levels of 100+ and most of the time; still dont get banned. If by any chance they do end up banned then it is for a minimal 30 days. I have seen documented cases where they have been banned more than once and still only receive a 30 day ban.
Then there are accounts that are permanently banned and removed from the rankings for unsubstantiated reasons. I find this practice abhorrent considering the fact that it seems as if hackers are getting special treatment especially if they have made cash shop purchases.
Im going to refer to us as customers because some of us have spent numerous amounts of money paying for cash shop items in order to enhance our gaming experiences and then repeatedly dont get any type of support from the Nexon staff. GMs are never online to help the players in game and the online support is a joke.
Nexons TOS says that NX fraud gets your account banned, but once the account is banned they still allow NX to be charged into that account. They also state that there are no refunds on any existing NX cash on banned accounts. To me this seems unethical. If you have made a purchase of NX cash and dont like the items available to buy then thats not their fault as you knew what was available prior to purchase. But, if your account is no longer accessible to you then any funds remaining should be refunded.
They dont offer phone support although they do have a phone line. They simply tell you that this isnt a support line and hang up on you. They have a customer support section where members are supposed to file their support tickets. Unfortunately that doesnt work either. First of all you can only submit one single ticket at a time. Then, they either ignore the ticket for several months or close them without a reply. When you submit another ticket they say it is against their TOS to make a new ticket for the same reason even when they havent made an attempt to answer let alone fix your complaint.
If you want to verify my complaint then you can check the Nexon Maplestory forum for all the unanswered complaints and questions. You can also look up videos in YouTube. There are numerous hacking videos and the characters in those videos are still in the ranking. The GMs just dont care. I/we know of a specific GM that is in Khaini that keeps in touch with a hacker and that hacker doesnt get banned. The best part of all is that the GM is aware that this player is a hacker. Ill not name any GMs here because I dont want them to lose their job if thats what you want to call it. But to me that is a blatant double standard. Either there are rules or there arent rules. Either way they need to make up their mind and quit showing favoritism.

Hundred Year Score
When it comes to Phoenix's relatively short history, the saying "there's nothing new under the sun" comes to mind. Mystery Castle? Been there. Fiesta Bowl? Done that. Winnie Ruth Judd? Seen the movie.
Fortunately, there's more to discover about our mega metropolis at The Trunk Space's annual Grid Show, kicking off with an opening reception at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 15, at 1506 Grand Avenue. Past displays have included memorabilia from Phoenix's last hourly-rate motel and a piece detailing the Security Building's days as a brothel.
So what's on tap for The Grid 2012? "Even the artists don't talk about the show until it's up," says participant Marshall Shore. "It's amazing when you walk in and learn about a piece of Arizona history you never knew." While their contributions remain more mysterious than the Phoenix Lights, Shore confirms that in honor of the Arizona Centennial each artist is responsible for one particular decade in a painted timeline project.

One of the best ICI have used this for past 2 months and I have found that it is the best in terms of quality, power consumption, finish and of course delivery time of flipkart. I have used different models of skyline, Glen, Fabiano & one chinese brand but I have found that this is the best and most appealing item. So if you want to go for it then you can go for it with your eyes closed.

Prestige PIC 2.0Since I have been asked to review I am doing this. The product has been working well for the last 2 weeks. But on receipt of the product, it malfunctioned. I had to take it to the Prestige Service Centre at Mylapore, Chennai and I was told that during transportation of the product by the courier, certain parts had moved away from their position. The top was getting heated up and the product was showing error 5,6, which denotes heating up. May be the product could have been packed in a better way by Flipkart. Hence I have to rate it lesser than it deserves.

Just after 2 days, it started giving problems. the motherboard and other used in it is of very low grade quality. It keeps tripping the MCB (fuse) of my home after i use it for just 2 minutes. I use it on appropriate source (16A). Still the problem happens. And the customer response is pathetic. They dont pick up calls @ all...

Good service from Flipkart, will update on product once I use it.As you can expect from Flipkart, the delivery was lightening fast. The item was delivered in less than 2 days flat. Hopefully, the product also is as good. I had done a bit of research on induction cooktops before finalizing on this one. Looks are good, build is sturdy and the controls are not too many, to discourage common people.

Good BuyThe product is extremely well build and productive.Price is always competitive in Flipkart. We purchased the product 2 months back . Didn't find all the function switch useful but specially curry function switch is used mostly. The electricity bill is ok. The steel ring in the cook top is very useful if you use pressure cooking. Water won't spill all over.

- I called Technon on 5/22/08 to order a GPS unit at the lowest price I've seen on the web for a NIB Garmin.
- Tony at Techon confirmed the unit was NIB and not a "B" model but, stated that he could not take my order and it would be best for me to order on-line.
- I ordered the GPS on-line and thought that I had rcvd a confirmation email but, the email actually asked me to call Techon to confirm my order.
- Techon called me on 5/23/08, around 11 AM, and I endured the most horendous upsell I've ever encountered. Tony told me that the GPS unit would not work unless I bought a memory card at $99. I stated that his statement sounded incorrect and maybe it would be best if I did not purchase the unit. He wanted to cancel the order then, I asked if the unit was (again) new in the box, he replied yes. I said, send the unit. He said you cancelled the order, I said, I did not. He added that I had been recorded as saying I cancelled. I informed him that it is illegal to record the phone conversation without notifying me in advance of our discussion. Then, I pulled a tape recorder out of my desk, placed the call on speaker phone, recited the date and time, and informed him that he was being recorded. (I know, most folks would have just given up at this point but, it was principal at this juncture.) I asked Tony, if he was going to ship the GPS unit to me as ordered, he said yes. I confirmed the amount once again, and ended the call.
- 5/23/08, 6:35 PM, I received the folllowing email:
"We thank you for your order and appreciate you shopping with us .
Due to the product you ordered being out of stock for 6-8 weeks from today's date. We regret to inform you that the order is canceled due to the product being on backorder. when or if we get the product again in stock soon will send you an email to place an order please do not resubmit your order again . sorry again and thanks for your understanding."

Bo Xilai told trial he had orders from the top to deal with Chongqing police chief
Removed trial transcript links him to Zhou Yongkang on handling Chongqing police chief
Related topics
Bo Xilai claimed at his trial last week that he received orders from a law and order committee headed by China's former top policeman, Zhou Yongkang, on how to deal with the defection of the Chongqing police chief, say people with knowledge of the proceedings.
Bo's words to the court last week are the first direct evidence linking him to Zhou, himself now the subject of a party investigation for corruption.
A prosecution statement about the matter - first redacted, then removed from the official trial transcript - suggests Zhou was at least in contact with Bo about his handling of Wang Lijun's defection to the US consulate in Chengdu in February last year.
That incident brought down Bo, then Chongqing party secretary, and triggered China's biggest political scandal in decades.
At the time, Zhou was head of the Communist Party's Central Commission for Political and Legal Affairs. The commission oversees the nation's courts, prosecutors and the police.
Bo, who is awaiting a verdict on charges of bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power after his sensational five-day trial, is widely seen as an ally of Zhou - the first current or former member of the party's supreme decision-making body, the Politburo Standing Committee, to be investigated for economic crimes.
Three separate sources who either attended the trial or were later briefed on proceedings said the prosecution and Bo spelled out clearly in court that he got a six-item order from the "Central Political and Legal Affairs Committee" when handling Wang's defection in February last year.
An official transcript of the trial posted online on Monday said only that Bo had received orders from a higher body. However, this version, too, was changed within minutes to make no mention of Bo receiving orders from above.
The original version quoted prosecutors as saying that "Bo first approved a forged medical certificate for Wang Lijun, before orders listing six points on how to deal with Wang arrived from a superior body in the hierarchy".
There is now speculation about who gave the orders from above of which Bo spoke.
The charge against Bo of abuse of power centres on his removal of Wang as Chongqing police chief without seeking prior approval from the Ministry of Public Security, which is under the central commission on law and order then headed by Zhou.
Bo issued the order days after Wang had told him his wife, Gu Kailai, had murdered British businessman and Bo family associate Neil Heywood in November 2011. Gu received a suspended death sentence for the crime last year.
The official transcript also removed Bo's mention of retired state leaders. In one instance, Bo explained to the court that, while he was minister of commerce, he had briefed then president Hu Jintao aboard his state aircraft on how he intended to grant permission to Xu Ming's company, Dalian Shide Group, to act as a private importer of crude oil and petroleum, the sources said.
Xu is the tycoon from Dalian, where Bo was once mayor, who was said to have bankrolled the luxurious lifestyle of Bo's wife and their son, Bo Guagua. Xu is also facing corruption charges.
Other details omitted from Bo's final statement included a denial of any ambition to become the country's premier, according to a written statement by a court observer that was circulated after the trial.
One of the three sources who talked to the Post said Bo appeared calm when making what was probably his final speech in public. The source also said that the document, which was authenticated by two other sources, captured the essence of Bo's final statement.
"Some say I wanted to be the premier," Bo said, according to the document. "That is completely untrue. As we all know, the party had determined after the 17th party congress that comrade Li Keqiang should become premier."
"Some said I wanted to be [Vladimir] Putin in China, but that is also not true," he added, in reference to the Russian president.
Li became premier in March, but had been tipped for the job since the 2007 party congress.
Bo was widely seen as a challenger for a place in the party's leadership through his leftist political campaigns in Chongqing, which won him much support among blue-collar workers and the lower middle class. Before Bo's fall from grace last year, Zhou reportedly worked behind the scenes to have him installed as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
To address the concern of top leaders, Bo also told the court that he had written a letter to the party's central leadership before the official investigation of his case. "I don't have malicious thoughts against the party," Bo said. He also told the court he wanted to keep his party membership.
Other testimony that might humanise Bo was also left out of the official account.
"I want to say to my relatives and siblings that I am not corrupt and I have not ruined the family's reputation," said the 64-year-old son of Bo Yibo , a revolutionary leader and one of the party's "eight immortals".
He added that he missed his sons. "I want to say to my two sons, Bo Wangzhi and Bo Guagua, that daddy misses you." Bo Wangzhi is usually referred as Li Wangzhi , as he adopted his mother's surname after his parents' divorce.
Court observers said that after his final statement, Bo's relatives present in the courtroom stood and applauded his remarks.

Comment Tool no good for corporate use - Personal use only (Score 1) 135
These tools are fine for personal use - but not easily adapted to corporate use e.g. PCI DSS. Mandatory requirements for PCI DSS include key management under dual control and split knowledge.
As such, commercial tools still rule in the storage encryption space.
And I'm no programmer, so I can't resolve these shortcomings.

I contacted my lawyer and we forwarded them a letter that they ignored. I almost lost my phone number since they also told me that I no longer have my munber that I had for fourteen years. I was lucky enough to get it to another provider prior to walking into their door for the return.
I purchased the phone on 9/4/2011 and went to return it on 9 /7/2011. They took $128.00 in cash and told me they were calling the police, needless to say this is the biggest scam I ever saw in las vegas. I plan on bringing them to justice as soon as possible. What a racket

Why I Hate Glocks
This is a Colt Government Model in .45 ACP:
These are not mine, but I have owned similar handguns. Now, I'm no expert and I don't try to play one. Anything I say anywhere on this blog and especially when I am writing about firearms is my opinion and only my opinion. If you ever say "but the Earth-Bound Misfit says that", then go look up Bill Engvall and ask him for a sign.
The Glock is the only firearm that I have ever owned or fired that scared the shit out of me.
Both the Glock and the Colt Government Model have similar trigger pulls of roughly 5.5lbs. Scroll up and take a close look at the trigger of the Glock. You can see a little protrusion in the front of the trigger. That is the only user-operated safety device on the gun.
Now compare that to the Colt. Directly behind the top screw on the wooden grip is a safety. If the hammer is cocked on the Colt, you can move that safety lever up and the gun will not fire. Directly behind the safety lever is a grip safety. If you are holding the gun, you are actuating the grip safety.
Glocks have internal devices that lock the striker unless the trigger is depressed. So do Series 80 Colts. Glock counts its internal devices as additional safeties. (Probably sounds good in court.)
Nobody I know of who is in their right mind would carry a Colt automatic with the hammer cocked and the thumb safety off. But that is exactly the carry situation with a Glock. And it scared the hell out of me, which is why I traded it away.

Awful lot of cops carry 'em and swear by 'em. They also malf one heck of a lot less than all the glamor brands, like the military's M-92.

The vast majority of cops carry guns and by that I mean that's all they do. They don't shoot them, other than on a range. Glocks are light and when you're wearing a gun each and every workday, ounces matter.
Glock also offered some really good volume pricing to the departments. Once they got a few large organizations, the rest was easier, as cops are as fashion conscious with guns as a lot of teenaged girls are with clothes.
I think it's worth noting, though, that when you look at the police teams who are really serious about their weapons, you see a lot of M1911 clones.
- August 18, 2007 at 6:37 AM
- Lurch said...
When you write "police teams" you're talking about shooting teams. The .45 is just about unacceptable for street use anywhere in the US because of its ballistic impact.
The point about the Glock is that you learn a lot of new safety rules, as you pointed out somewhere else. Finger outside the guard, etc. That's good. It's the better way to be.
- August 18, 2007 at 3:59 PM
- The Earth Bound Misfit said...
When I said "police teams", was referring to SWAT or ESU or hostage rescue or other heavily armed groups. They tend to carry 1911s.
There is a reason for that< I suspect.

On target sir........I agree.
- December 6, 2007 at 12:49 AM
- Oliver Hart-Parr said...
Any automatics made after 1911 are superfluous.
The design concept peaked with John Browning.
Glocks are popular because of marketing and hip-hop.
Besides, if you fire one, aren't you required by the rules of coolness, to hold it sideways?

I truly understand your safety concerns, however in this age of near nation-wide CC permits it seems a bit old school (my Dad probably just rolled over in his grave, God Love Him) and although a newbie myself I have found Glock pistols to be perfect for my needs. I own two, both in 9MM. I want to be clear about my next statement, I am not merely a gun owner. At least twice a month at the range and literally thousands of various rounds down-range never have I had so much as a burp from either pistol.
My Father (a WW2 Vet) thought me well at the range as a kid. However I moved away from firearms as I grew up and only recently returned into the fold of our gun culture. Age, marriage and home ownership I guess is why, not mention the unavoidable, constant and disturbing daily news.
Finally my point for posting.
Hate Glock if you must, but Please do not try to use any of the following facts as your reason(s).
#1 Reliability, second to none.
#2 Durability, second to none.
#3 Simplicity, First.
#4 Accuracy, second to none.
#5 Company support, second to none.
#6 And lastly, far less important than all the above; availability of any and all accessories...if it's a good idea it will be available for a Glock, period.
Lastly, if chrome and pearl are your thing, just avoid Glock, don't hate them.

I thought I'd write this report in hopes of maybe gaining some support for my "cause". It is true that there are some people out there bent on cheating the system and stealing software, music, etc. They have always been there and they will always continue to be there. But, hey, us honest people are here too and shouldn't have to always be on the punishing end of their unethical behavior.
I just purchased a program online (Dragon Naturally Speaking 7 preferred) for $162.50, on sale, with CompUSA. I've bought software and computer products from them before. So they have gotten lots of my hard earned money so far. But this time, I'm really ticked off!
I'm probably your average computer user, not genius, but I get by pretty good with the programs I use everyday. I purchased this program because I'm suffering a disability in my right hand and can't do so much typing anymore, but I still need to make a living.
I read all the details about the product, took days to make a final decision, made sure my computer "requirements" were right (so I thought), and finally made the purchase. Am I the only one who is more than a little hesitant spending my money on something I've never used, never seen, can't try-out yet, can't return if it turns out to be something I can't use?
Ok, I received the program in the mail and was quite excited to get some relief from my hand pain. However, loading the program did not go so well, and the software rejected my "computer specifications" and ended the installation process. I was completely dumbfounded! I tried again, same response.
The software said the my old Pentium 3 was only 450MHz and needed to be 500MHz. Well, I thought my computer was 500MHz! Long story short, via Intel.com I was able to run a DOS system search and it verified that my P3 was indeed only 450MHz. So, what do I do now? My worst fears have become reality! They have my money, I've OPENED their sacred software and it won't work!!!
I thought, for sure, ComUSA would understand that some of us honest computer users have software glitches from time to time and they will help me out somehow... HA! to no avail. The customer service rep., named Eve, was so "sweet" toned as she repeatedly parroted (about 100 times), "I'm sorry, our Standard Policy is that if you open the software you own it and we cannot take it back. There is nothing we can do."
Of course, I tried to reason, beg, and plead for help. The only thing I didn't do was threaten, but how do I threaten a big million dollar, far removed, inhuman corporate company like CompUSA, or any other computer store for that matter. Now, I'm stuck with some software sitting here on my desk that I can't use and $162.50 less money in my wallet and feeling very powerless. What's a little person like me supposed to do?
In my meager opinion, this Standard Policy needs a little amendment. Surely there has to be a better way in dealing with fellow humans that have legitimate cause for needing to exchange or replace or return the software that they were unable to get to work, or simply can't use.
I know I'm not the only one out here that needs help in this regard! I'm among many thousand of truly honest computer users that really don't have the luxury to spend hard earned amounts of money on software that doesn't work for reasons not their fault. You know, with $162.50 I could buy groceries for two weeks? That is a lot of money for me.
Well, now that my hand is in major pain from all this typing, I should really sign off now. Thanks for reading (if you got this far). May you NEVER open software that causes an "Error" or "Virus" to your pocketbook!!

there is a 30-day money back guaranty thru Scansoft
AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 03, 2004POSTED: Sunday, October 03, 2004
CompUSA in this case was only following a policy that they have put in place, and is on the receipt that you agree to. NO RETURN on open software is also the same policy in place by almost all retailers. More importantly, if you read the box of you Dragon Naturally Speaking, you would relize that there is a 30-day money back guaranty thru Scansoft.
All you need to do is send it back to them. Most software companies have return policies in place directly thru them so they can control the possibel fraud that can take place in the retailer. Blaming CompUSA for you cituation won't do anything since they can't even send the software back to the manufacturer. You might want to contact them before your time runs out.

HREC Investment Advisors Expands Platform
Monday September 16th, 2013 - 10:21AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
DENVER—HREC Investment Advisors is expanding its mortgage brokerage platform, forming a capital markets group within its hotel brokerage platform.
The Hotel Capital Markets Group, also known as HREC H-CAP, will continue to focus on arranging acquisition debt, refinance, structured finance utilizing subordinate debt and preferred equity and other forms of capital. While HREC Investment Advisors is best known for orchestrating the sale of over 700 hotels, the HREC Capital Markets Group also has arranged in excess of $6 billion of hotel debt for clients.
Mike Armstrong, principal in the San Diego office who will co-manage the capital markets group, stated, "The expansion of our capital markets practice positions us well to serve our clients with the strong recovery of the hospitality industry and the return to a relatively normal financing environment. The return of commercial banks, and especially CMBS, has created an excellent opportunity for our clients to refinance maturing loans and/or obtain acquisition financing at historically low rates."
A new addition for HREC H-CAP is Jake Stahler, who will be based in the New York office as SVP/Capital Markets. He most recently covered CMBS conduit lending in the Northeast for Deutsche Bank and was with a mortgage REIT prior to that.

Technology has transformed travel. It's that simple. From virtual-reality tours to mobile check-in to storing and personalizing guests' preferences, technology is continuing to influence the way we stay and vacay, so to speak. And it's also continuing to impact the way hotels do business. It comes down to this equation: guests' demands + hotel delivery = happy customers.

Overall Experience:
I wanted to go somewhere else and I'm still trying to swallow the fact that I'm here
Health & Safety:
It's a pretty safe school although I'm pretty sure that for there was someone living on the fifth floor of the UC this entire semester
Overall Experience:
As a writing student it's a little hard to find valuable internships when everything is catered towards marketing for some reason
If a student wants to be fit they will usually take a dance class
Overall Experience:
I have been exponentially comfortable at my school given the accepting nature of the students and professors alike. All identities are welcome without question and many topics are discussed with regards to the experiences of different groups of people. I find this extremely important especially in a day and age where we still so such dominance of the straight white male in a culture where there are so many queer identifying (gender and sexuality) and people of color who wish to further their educations and endeavors without having to face the inherent prevalence of blatant privilege. Our school is extremely aware of this and makes a safe learning environment that I feel is rare at many other schools.
Overall Experience:
I like the people and the discussions are great.
Overall Experience:
The New School is not for everyone, but it's incredible for those who prefer a non-traditional urban college. I specifically attend Eugene Lang School for Liberal Arts. Academically, I love the school. There are very few required courses and for the requirements that you do have to fulfill, you typically can still choose from about 10+ difference courses to meet those requirements. Students are given a great autonomy for choosing courses and there is an option to design an individualized major (which is what I am doing). Course topics are very interesting and specific. Most classes are small, seminar-style courses. The teacher sits at the table with the class and they are heavily based on discussion. Despite their larger size, lecture courses are also heavy in discussion. Most first year students would agree that the difficulty of the coursework is equivalent to that of an AP course in high school, or possibly even a regular high school course depending on the class and professor. Most coursework is reading and writing intensive. As a liberal arts school, there are little to no exams given and a lack of emphasis on STEM subjects. All of the teachers that I have had are extremely engaging, as well as passionate, knowledgable, and accomplished. They genuinely care about their students and make class as interesting as possible. An aspect of academics that a lot of students (including myself) have trouble with is the feeling that there are not enough practical courses. For example, although the courses are interesting, they mostly discuss theories and society, rather than teaching skills. For this reason it at times feels like students are wasting money on tuition. The New School is not for everyone but for this who seek curricular autonomy and interesting, discussion-based courses, it is an excellent choice.
Overall Experience:
Growing up in Queens public schools, I'm more than comfortable with the amount of diversity at Lang. It's something I know I won't find anywhere else, unless I had gone to a CUNY. But Lang's open curriculum was another deciding factor that has made all the difference.
Overall Experience:
I really enjoy being here and the people are very supportive overall.
Overall Experience:
The students and teachers are dedicated and passionate about what they are studying/teaching. I think everyone's want to make a difference is part of what makes the environment so special. There's a mix of people who talk about change and those who actually try to make a change.
Overall Experience:
My school is amazing! I'm so lucky to be attending, my only disappointment is that it is so closely compared to NYU and often left to transfer over. Though these things don't directly effect me, it does sometimes make me question whether or not I should've tried harder to get into NYU
Guys & Girls:
It's 70% female. Guys are hard to find.
Off-Campus Dining:
There's always plenty of food options available, ranging from fast-food to vegan and organic options.
The New School has a long history of scholarly activists. I can't answer a lot of questions on campus housing security since I'm living off-campus.
I have one of the best financial aid packages, because it's both need and merit aid. But I understand that not everybody else has had the same amount of aid.
Campus Food:
With the new University Center, there's plenty of options ranging from sushi to woodstove options.
Off-Campus Housing:
It depends on what part of Brooklyn people want to live in and your budget of course.
Off-Campus Dining:
its nyc, its the best.
Could be better. Rich kids getting full ride while needy kids take on massive amount of debt.
Party Scene:
Parties are outside of the school. You have to know people and they're almost all in Brooklyn.
Campus Food:
Very fancy food however the taste not so great.
I am having a tough time, my aid has been suspended due to low grades. Which are due to working to pay excess tuition not covered by finical aid. I would love to go to school but I don't know if I will be able to afford it.
We could use a gym, as the local and state gyms in the area are very expensive, we have a small room that they teach gym classes. For the tuition being paid they should offer more
Local Area:
The local area is great but very expensive, too expensive for a working college student. The locals hate that we have a school in their area. The hate our annual block party which is an amazing way to meet people, and promote local business.
Health & Safety:
I do not stay on campus so I am unaware of sexual assault taking place.

After firing off several very strong letters threatening to notify my State's Attorney General's Office, social media and the BBB credits were issued to my card with blinding speed. I highly recommend this method of seeking and receiving your credit. Store credit? Who cares?? Who wants it?? You may purchase merchandise from any merchant you wish - don't be locked in thanks to a store credit. I have two more credits coming; once I receive them I will immediately demand removal from their mailing list.
I don't like to pay for junk. I don't like to pay for the wrong item shipped. I spent 45 minutes waiting, waiting, waiting for someone to answer the phone so I could demand a credit for shipping fees and my cost of returning an item that was incorrectly sent. Did the five dollars put me in the poor house? Nope. Did it annoy and bug them? Yep. Mission accomplished. {:>}

- Surpasses ordinary l-carnitine*
There are various forms of L-carnitine, but SAN's Acetyl-L-Carnitine is more easily absorbed than the regular form. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a modified amino acid that supports cellular energy production by assisting in the transport of fat into the mitochondria of cells where it can then be converted into ATP (chemical energy for the cells). In other words, you use your body's own stored body fat for use as energy!
Acetyl L-Carnitine is a highly bioavailable form of L-carnitine, so it's easily assimilated and beyond just maintaining healthy cellular energy metabolism, it also supports brain function, so you can look good and feel good.
Exercise and diet are the biggest keys to unlocking and releasing stored body fat, but Acetyl L-Carnitine is a secret weapon that can help transport that fat into the fat-burning furnace within your cells.

The Rocker-Model Nexus Meets the Battle of the Sexes as Kelly Emberg Sues Rod Stewart for $35 Million
Emberg, whose relationship with Stewart began in September 1983 and ended last fall, is suing Rod for palimony, asking $25 million for lost earnings from her abandoned modeling career and $10 million for emotional distress. Emberg also sued Stewart in December for $40,000-a-month child support. (Their daughter, Ruby, was born in June 1987.) Papers for both lawsuits were served on Stewart while he was attending functions at Ruby's school. "He is disappointed that Kelly felt so badly that she would go to this extreme," says a friend of Stewart's. "And the first suit was served two days before his wedding. Rachel, who was so empathetic toward Kelly, ain't feeling so empathetic now."
Stewart, of course, is used to drop-in visits from process servers by now. Britt Ekland (who was also tall, blond and beautiful) sued him for $15 million in palimony around the time he married Alana. That suit was settled out of court for an undisclosed figure. And Alana, in turn, won a reported $1 million, a house and $10,000 a month in child support.
Stewart isn't the only rocker with a penchant for models over, say, insurance adjusters, as the photographs on these pages attest. But he does seem to carry it to extremes. Arnold Stiefel, Stewart's manager since 1984, denies that Rod is occupation-compulsive when it comes to women. "It's not that Rod falls for models," says Stiefel. "He falls for beautiful girls who happen to be models."
As for the symbiosis between often-aging rockers and always-young models, Stiefel has a theory to explain the attraction, at least on the guys' side. "Rock stars date models because they can," he says. "If you're free to go out with anybody, wouldn't your first choice be some gorgeous 21-year-old blond, before it would be that sweet secretary down the hall with the thick arse?" Elegantly put, Arnold.
And why do willowy young models feel this compulsion to make rockers' dreams come true? Valerie Trott, president of Elite Models in L.A., attributes it to youth and naïveté. "The bottom line is this," she says. "Models are only 19 or 20. To them, rock and roll is the thing."
And model-agency head Nina Blanchard explains the attraction as a sort of celebrity-mating imperative. "They're sort of thrown together—at parties and clubs," she says. "From the girls' point of view, it's, 'Maybe when you were in Cleveland you were dating the local dentist, but are you going to do that when you're on the cover of Vogue?' You may be better off with the local guy, but when you're a celebrity, you don't meet him anymore."

Photos: Senchenko Crushes Ricky Hatton's Title Dream
RICKY HATTON announced his retirement from boxing after his ninth-round knockout by Vyacheslav Senchenko in Manchester, insisting: "I needed one more fight to see if I had still got it - and I haven't." An emotional Hatton said he would devote his future to his family and his promotional activities after coming to the conclusion to call it a day despite having initially suggested he may consider fighting on.
A badly bruised Hatton said: "I found out tonight it isn't there no more. I'm a straight-shooter and I tell the truth. I can look at myself in the mirror and tell myself I did my best, but there is always an excuse to find. I got in the best shape I possibly could but if I hadn't been hit with that body shot I would have just scraped over the line with a points win and I honestly think I would still be telling you all the same thing.

Council approves city loan for Mandel's North End apartments
The Common Council has approved a $4.6 million city loan to help finance an expansion of The North End apartments, setting the stage for construction to begin this fall on one of the largest projects in Milwaukee's Park East area.
The loan, a major part of financing the $36.7 million project, was approved Tuesday on a 14-0 vote. Developer Mandel Group Inc. will complete the 155-unit expansion by spring of 2013.
The Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee last week recommended approval after the city comptroller's office said the loan was a good risk, and that tight credit markets are barring even strong projects from obtaining large development loans from banks.
The comptroller's office concluded a strong apartment market will provide enough rental income for Mandel to pay off the loan, which has a 5.5% interest rate, over its 18-year term.
The North End's 83-unit first phase is largely full.
Mandel is raising at least $5.7 million in equity financing. The main financing will come from Mandel's sale of tax-exempt bonds, totaling $26.2 million.
Mandel is responsible for repaying that debt, which requires the firm to set aside 31 units at below-market rents for people earning no more than 60% of the Milwaukee-area's median income.
The below-market units will have monthly rents ranging from $720 to $1,050, with remaining units renting from $1,200 to $2,300, for apartments with one to three bedrooms.
The city loan's main security is a second mortgage on the new apartments, and includes a personal guarantee from Mandel Group Chairman Barry Mandel.
The project's $22 million first phase opened in 2009 on a former tannery site along N. Water St., south of E. Pleasant St.
The expansion plan calls for a 100-unit building overlooking the Milwaukee River and a 55-unit building at Pleasant and Water streets.
Also, the city will spend $2.4 million on street work and other public improvements at the project site.
Those funds will be repaid through property taxes generated by new projects within the Park East tax incremental financing district.
That district, which covers the former Park East Freeway land and other nearby parcels, needs additional development to help pay off the city's $37.2 million debt.
That money was spent on the freeway demolition, a new bridge over the Milwaukee River, new streets and environmental cleanup work.

FROM DEEP *Pittsburgh premiere!*
Coming home after a year of racking up awards and praise, Brett Kashmere's ambitious documentary is part sociological treatise, part audiovisual mix-tape, charting the three-decade love affair between basketball and rap. Drawing its imagery from contemporary pick-up games, movies, music videos, video games, and spectacular sports footage, FROM DEEP is about the game of basketball and its profound role in American life – as an everyday street game played by millions around the country; a force in fashion, music, and mass media; and a platform for broader issues of race and class.
