State media criticises Chinese badminton pair accused of throwing match at London Olympics
Two Chinese women badminton players were accused today of "polluting" sport and damaging their country's honour by trying to throw a match at the London 2012 Olympics.
Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli are among four doubles pairs facing charges from the Badminton World Federation (BWF) after the competition at Wembley Arena descended into farce last night.
Fans booed as the four pairs, all of whom had already qualified for the quarter-finals, tried to secure an easier draw by deliberately losing their matches.
After an emergency meeting, the BWF confirmed in the early hours that all eight women would face charges

But about the waist. I personally like it when the sides "are pushed in" a little. Hard to explain. Not saying yours are ugly of course. And maybe it isn't even possible for females over 25 or something, but I don't know about those things.
well then
my primal journal:
It is hard when the person we love doesn't exactly match our physical attractiveness guidelines, but we're adults we should be able to overlook/forgive and forget those minor aesthetic quibbles (or have made the decision not to long before the getting hitched stage). Also, with men, the ageing process can lead to some unanticipated changes - men never warn you about the chances of thinning hair - just as often as with women (my stomach will never be the same now I've had a child).
There does have to be a certain degree of compassion in any long-term relationship, I think.

I'd like more of a waist myself, but I'm unlikely to get one so I just focus on the things I CAN change about myself!
Yes, I'm a tree trunk shape. No little tiny waist for me. I don't know if it's my waist's fault or my hips or my height (or lack thereof). I don't think there's much I can do about my waist. It's 29-30" usually and 28 is about the smallest it's ever been as an adult, so that's not going to make much difference. The PB fitness exercises that I do in the wimpiest of ways have made a big difference in my overall firmness and I'm really happy how much nicer my skin is nowadays.
You know what my true desire is? To eat as much as I want all the time and stay at least this size and strength. So far it mostly works. Thank goodness I really like the food.

Guess I'm lucky, I have about 10" inches difference between the hips-waist-bust measurements. It's a blessing/curse. I'm really curvy, but nothing off the rack fits right and a lot of modern syles look terrible. Guys like it, but it's aways stymied my dreams of doing dance related things (they want lithe body shapes only above a certain level).

Medical Nightmare: Misdiagnosed for Greed?
Hundreds of Parents Say a Detroit Doctor Treated Their Children for Nonexistent Epilepsy So He Could Pocket Insurance Money
Then came the real shock-after nearly a year of debilitating side effects from the medications, Shana went to other doctors (Awaad closed down his operation in 2007), and one of them explained that her headaches were caused by allergies, not epilepsy. Now she believes Awaad's diagnosis and treatment were all a sham. And she's not alone. She and 254 other former patients have sued Awaad for allegedly misdiagnosing them with epilepsy in order to reap huge insurance payouts for himself and Oakwood Hospital and Medical Center in Dearborne, Mich. (The hospital is also named in the lawsuit.) "A lot of these kids were put in special ed," says Brian Benner, the plaintiffs' attorney, who is seeking damages for emotional and physical distress as well as reimbursement for his clients' medical bills.
Last year, after an investigation by the Michigan attorney general's office, the hospital reimbursed the state $309,140 in Medicaid fraud-all of it Awaad's billings. While the state found no grounds to charge Awaad criminally, it is investigating whether the doctor should keep his medical license. Awaad, 55, is now practicing medicine in Saudi Arabia. Seth Lloyd, general counsel for Oakwood Healthcare, says the doctor properly treated all his patients. Says Lloyd: "I just want to be clear how upset we are about this whole situation."
Try telling that to the Harris and Lucas families. According to the lawsuit, Dion and Laurie Harris took their daughter Brittany to see Awaad because she was hallucinating and falling a lot. He told them their daughter, just 5 when she saw him in 2001, had epilepsy and needed surgery to implant a device that would control her seizures. "The very first visit, even before he did an EEG, he said he knew what she had," says Laurie, 39, of Riverview, Mich. Over the next two years, Brittany's life was a steady stream of surgeries (four in all) and medications. After Brittany got an infection from one of the surgeries, the Harrises took her to see a pediatric neurologist who said their daughter never had epilepsy. She is autistic. While she is now getting help at a special school, the side effects of the meds and the surgeries set Brittany, now 14, back years, says Laurie. "She still has memory problems," she says. Amber and John Lucas say they are still reeling after Dr. Awaad misdiagnosed five of their six children with epilepsy. "We lived a nightmare," says Amber, 39, of Dearborne.
Meanwhile, Shana has slowly recovered from all the medications she took. She graduated from high school in June and starts at a local community college in January. Still, she has this message for anyone seeking medical treatment: "Get a second opinion from another doctor. Don't just believe what the doctor says is true."

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) and Incyte said today they launched a clinical trial collaboration aimed at assessing a combination of their cancer immunotherapy candidates. The value of the collaboration was not disclosed.
The companies will begin a Phase I/II study in the fourth quarter that is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of BMS' nivolumab, a PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor; and Incyte's oral indoleamine dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) inhibitor INCB24360.
The study will assess the combination's effect on multiple tumor types, which according to the companies could potentially include melanoma, non-small cell lung (NSCLC), ovarian, colorectal (CRC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The Phase I/II study will be co-funded by the companies and conducted by Incyte.
Nivolumab and INCB24360 are designed to harness the body's own immune system in fighting cancer by targeting distinct regulatory components of the immune system. According to BMS and Incyte, preclinical evidence suggests that the combination of Nivolumab and INCB24360 may lead produce a stronger anti-tumor immune response compared to either agent alone.
"Given the synergistic activity we have seen with our IDO1 inhibitor when combined with checkpoint inhibitors in preclinical models, and based on our emerging clinical data, we look forward to collaborating with Bristol-Myers Squibb to explore this combination across a wide range of tumor types," Hervé Hoppenot, Incyte's president and CEO, said in a statement.
INCB24360 has been shown to be effective in mouse models of cancer as a single agent and in combination with cytotoxic and immunotherapy agents. A Phase I dose-escalation trial showed that INCB24360 results in greater than 90% inhibition of IDO1 activity at generally well-tolerated doses.
INCB24360 is currently in Phase I/II development in combination with BMS' Yervoy® (ipilimumab) for metastatic melanoma (NCT01604889) and as monotherapy for ovarian cancer (NCT01685255).
BMS has established a global development program to study nivolumab—as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies—in multiple tumor types consisting of more than 35 trials, in which more than 7,000 patients have been enrolled worldwide. Twenty of those trials were recruiting patients as of this morning, according to Clinicaltrials.gov. Among these are several potentially registrational trials in NSCLC, melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. Last year, nivolumab won the FDA's Fast Track designation in these three tumor types.
BMS and Merck & Co. are among drug developers scrambling to develop drugs targeting PD-1 or its complement, PD-L1. In February, Merck and Incyte launched a Phase I/II clinical collaboration to study the combination of INCB24360 with Merck's investigational anti-PD-1 immunotherapy MK-3475 in a non-small cell lung cancer study.
Incyte was one of three companies with which Merck has launched cancer therapy collaborations for MK-3475.
Amgen, whose investigational oncolytic immunotherapy talimogene laherparepvec is being studied with the Merck compound in patients with previously untreated advanced melanoma; and Pfizer, which is studying how two of its compounds fight cancer when combined with MK-3475—the small molecule kinase inhibitor axitinib (Inlyta®) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and the immuno-oncology agent PF-05082566 (PF-2566) in multiple cancer types.

Man to Man
This weekend I went clay pigeon shooting for the first time.
This is when you go to a place where you're the only brown person and small machines shoot clay discs into the air and you try to shoot them with a shotgun.
I was a baby about it for several reasons: I am not a fan of hunter/gun culture. I associate it with the Tea Party. I assume that accidents will definitely happen and they will happen to me.
Unfortunately I did not much enjoy the shooting (the kickback was too jarring) but that is a story for another time.
This is a story about a different thing. Something I call Man to Man (M2M).
Examples of M2M:
1) A woman is walking down the street with Man A. Man B approaches the two to ask for directions. Man B speaks only to Man A, ignoring the woman.
2) A woman enters a store with Man A. The store clerk (Man B) approaches and asks if he may be of assistance. He speaks only to Man A, ignoring the woman.
3) I go clay pigeon shooting with my man friend. The white, working class, 17 year old lad whose job it is to show us the ropes, speaks only to the (white) man friend, never speaking to me.
You get the picture.
Every woman has experienced M2M. It's old news. We're not taken seriously, we know. I must have avoided M2M for some time however, as I was surprised to meet it again at the gun club (…though where else would you meet it if not the gun club?)
This strapping young 17 year old thing was a nice enough fellow with the pleasant demeanor usually associated with much less attractive high school boys. Few of us can escape the charm of good looking people with an incongruous lack of confidence, and perhaps this is one reason I was able to consider the situation with an uncharacteristic lack of hostility.
The instructor spoke only to my male companion.
He did say one or two words to me. He showed me how to load the gun so I wouldn't die etc. But when it came to giving helpful tips or information on the game he addressed my friend. Even when I had the gun aimed and ready to shoot, he turned and gave shooting tips to my friend. This was especially ridiculous but I did nothing to correct him. He didn't see me and so I let myself be unseen.
It occurred to me that this boy could very likely go through his entire life without having anyone bring this habit of his to his attention. I am making some grand assumptions about his friends and family here, but consider this: My male companion, a highly educated, upper middle class, white liberal male, was not himself aware of M2M's prevalence until he became involved in activism post college.
And what role did race play in my invisibility? It most definitely played some part. I am sure he thought I was Asian. An Asian-American not an Asian immigrant and I'm certain he did not think I was black. How different would his interaction with me have been depending on how he perceived my ethnicity?
Once a person has decided how they're going to interact with you, it can be difficult to change. Changing it demands a degree of aggression. The constant fight for visibility is exhausting. Sometimes we don't want to deal with it and sometimes we just don't care. In this case, I was more amused than angered. But what the hell does that mean? The simplest answer is that it's easier to feel amusement than anger. But I also I cut him some slack because of his youth and aforementioned pleasantness. I also realize only now that I felt some power over him because of our age difference and so did not feel threatened. If he had been an older white male I most likely would have asserted myself and attempted to change the interaction, forcing him to see me the way I wanted to be seen. I didn't do that with this boy however. I saw what was happening and I sat back and let it happen. I didn't care and I'm bothered by that. Perhaps I felt I could afford to have such an attitude since the men I usually interact with on a daily basis are somewhat aware of gender imbalances. But what a stupid false sense of comfort.
You see, when you live in a liberal state and surround yourself with "progressive" types, even those with the most cynical and mistrusting nature (like this moi) can temporarily forget that this bullshit happens all the time.

I've been guilty of this, I guess.
My reason for doing so has been so as to not "disrespect" the male, cause I usually tend to assume that the male and female are "together", not just together.
I've never done it assuming that the male was "in charge" of the situation or anything.
Kind of a warped courtesy thing.

you're the third dude to say this same thing in 20 minutes! But why is respecting the male and his 'territory' more important than respecting the female as an individual?

I used to get upset over this, too. Like every day of my life.
Then I realized that men who resent or hate or ignore women are afraid of them. That's just it. The need to deliberately exert power over another person betrays their big secret that they have none.
Not your problem.
Also, the most jarring response you can have to that is smile knowingly. It really shakes 'em.

to not address a female in order to avoid disrespecting the male accompanying her, has its basis in the presumed proprietary rights of males over females.
correspondingly, this argument points to a belief that females have less (or lack) agency in relation to males.

I see people do this unconsciously all the time, I'm male and my female teachers always do this.
When i'm walking with female friends women only ask them for directions, if i'm alone they keep their distance.
And when we enter stores it varies depending on age, race, and of course the type of store.

I've had this happen a lot when I am with my female friends and even with my MOM. When my mom was looking at cars the sales man spent a huge chunk of time when he first walked up talking to me. Once I realized that he was talking to the 17 year old me over my 47 year old mom about the car SHE was looking to get, I turned to my mom and gave her a look that hopefully told him that she was in charge and the one making the decision.
It is really annoying to go somewhere with a female friend because they are about to spend their money on something they took the time to research and pick out, and then the salesman assumes that I'm paying and making the decision. I try to let the salesmen know that it's my friends decision and money by saying something to my friend. Sometimes it actually works and the guys will suddenly acknowledge them.
I've also had this happen when I'm with my white male friends (I'm multiracial, I look Latin/Asian with an afro). People think they are the ones looking at the tech and gadgets. And then my friends start looking over at me because the sales man is trying to talk them into something more expensive than what I want.
Once I say that I want the product with _____ storage, color, shutter speed, the salesmen's heads whip around to look at me. People are so disrespectful sometimes.
Sorry for your unpleasant experience.

the ironic thing is that he could just as easily been one of those boys who, instead of fearing and ignoring you and mostly talking to the man who was with you, spent the entire time
overexplaining everything to you, coddling you, and almost completely ignoring your man friend
(who he already assumed to be competent). they think ladies need to be (over)protected, and coddled 'cause they can't handle guns and machinery. it doesn't matter whether he's the type of boy who ignores you because you're a woman or assumes you need coddling because you're a woman, he is still just trying to impress another male.
in america, manhood is defined by boys.
oh, and italy too.
it's very sad that boys like this have simply never had a real FRIENDSHIP with a woman. maybe, just maybe, all this kid needs is to have an actual healthy relationship with a female. i try to give boys like this the benefit of the doubt and think that if they could just start to see women as normal humans like themselves, that they would begin growing up.

I think you may be interpreting M2M incorrectly. I do it regularly when I get the sense from a woman's demeanor or body language that she is less open to conversation than the male. Likewise, I do M2W if I get the sense that the woman is more open than the man. In other words, it is possible that you are sending signals to the speaker which, while not projecting hostility, might project a certain closed-offness. Additionally, I find that in conversations between men and women there is often the possibility of an ulterior motive and principally addressing the man can be a way of signalling to the woman "i'm not trying anything here."
Now in your specific example, what about the possibility that 17 year old guy thought you were cute and was simply nervous about talking to you! When I was 17 I found attractive women far more intimidating then hulking angry men. People treat people of different genders differently constantly but the reasons can range from disturbing to benign to commendable.

These types of situations are always interesting to examine.I had great fun traveling in a majority black foreign country as a black woman with a white male companion (we often played the "who is this salesperson / tour guide/ etc. going to address and why" game.) I think that a number of things are at play including heterosexual gender relations and race and gender dynamics (the man2man that you refer to). As a woman, I make a point to talk primarily to the woman when addressing a couple. Too often, women perceive other women who address "their" men as being flirtatious. I am hyper aware of this, and therefore try to keep things above board as much as possible. Men do the same thing. Your future analysis of the M2M situation will be lacking if you don't acknowledge this cultural norm.

I notice M2M a LOT. My boyfriend and I have a bit of household role reversal going on, where he does all the cooking & laundry, and I do anything to do with computers / construction / finances etc. So dealing with salespeople / bank staff etc is a pain, because I have to FORCE people to deal with me. I'm sure they all think I'm an uppity bitch, but I don't care as long as they do their jobs.
I normally let M2M go when it's done by someone who I think is just ignorant / uneducated, as long as it doesn't affect me. I figure they're probably being penalised in other ways…

It's an evolutinary thing…a guy ignoring a man who is with a woman and speaking directly to the woman rather than the man she is with seems to be trying to make a move on "his" woman. Example: women out jogging alone often get whistled at; when with a man, never.
moral: lighten up.
fred lapides on

As a guy, I'd avoid speaking to you directly out of respect for your guy, especially at a gun range. Of course,I would do this after instinctively measuring him in a wierd sort of male way.
Guys at a gun range are definetly going to be used to other guys who would rather not have you checking out their women. Gun ranges are especially sensitive places. You need to act cautiously at a gun range in every way. Sounds silly maybe, but it's not … at all.

Just wanted to say that when I go to MANY 'female oriented' places with my boyfriend, the girls working there do the exact same stuff to me. They also throw in plenty of "oh, silly boy" jokes if he dare opens his mouth.
We all do it. I don't know why you're singling out guys here when girls are even worse.

When I attended college in the late 70s, I was the high scoring member of my school's rifle team. I was also the only female. In every competitive situation, my presence was not taken seriously until targets were scored, at which point reactions of amusement and/or surprise were the rule. Rarely if ever was I judged on the same footing with other team members, and competitors virtually never engaged me in casual banter as they did with my teammates.
Similarly, in recent years I have often had issues when dealing with automobile mechanics. In spite of my extensive knowledge of same and my spot-on troubleshooting, my diagnoses are rarely taken seriously until verified by inspection, whereas men's, no matter how lame, are taken at face value. Thirty years have passed, yet my forays into the heretofore male-dominated worlds of firearms and cars are still perceived as threatening.
That said, I have also experienced something akin to a reverse scenario… situations where women treat me with conspiratorial familiarity, assuming that I will share their interests in fashion, pregnancy, etc. even though I have no desire to discuss same. I have been told things like "every woman loves babies!" or "all girls like to shop for shoes!" and when I disagree I am treated as a traitor or worse and shunned. Women have ignored my husband, whose interests have often overlapped traditional female pursuits, while engaging me, regardless of my expressed disinterest.
Sexual stereotyping and assumptions will probably never go away. I think most people engage in same because it is simply easier than treating each individual as unique and unprogrammed until proven otherwise.

I'm not sure what you mean by "female oriented place", but if a woman addresses the woman first in a lingerie store for example, I don't have a problem with that.
The point is, M2M occurs at all times in all places. Not just those that are "male-oriented"
There is also a major difference between M2M and women addressing the woman first: Women are not in a position of power

Your viewpoint is objective, identifying something that does happen between men. Then, you apply a theory that is without context, and the underlying assumption is that men are pigs, this is what a patriarchy does to society, etc.
Men identify with other men first, similar to the way women identify with women first, because it's out of respect. If a girl started talking to your boyfriend, you may interpret this as flirting, regardless of real intent. Same thing here.
You also don't understand, that while you think men ignore you, all men are constantly checking out women around them, moreso if they are attractive. So the 'respect' element is elevated if you're bangable and walking around with a guy. (You do realize, people have been *murdered* over flirting with someone else's girlfriend.)
You're basically trying to tackle jealousy. Good luck with that.

I'm male, and I've seen this happen when I am out with my female partner, usually when we're interacting with a male salesperson on something that is not an obviously 'female' topic. Like, if our male electrician comes over to fix something, he'll default to talking to me if we're both here.
We're in Berkeley, though, and I have definitely not seen this with our garage (a particularly enlightened one, I'd guess) or with our friends and neighbors. Co-workers, too, but we work in areas where most of my co-workers are male, and most of hers are female, so it's unclear if this is a just a job thing.

Sheesh, you don't get it do you? In all three of your scenarios, addressing the woman directly without first discovering the relationship between Man A and the Woman can, and often does, lead to aggression, conflict and fights.

Admin, you argue that w2w is ok and m2m is not because "women are not in a position of power." let's assume for the sake of argument that your theory is correct that P2P (powerful) is bad and n2n (not powerful) is fine. let's look at the 3 examples from your essay. The way i read the example, the person who needs directions is the not powerful one and both you and your male companion are in the position of power because you both (might) have something he needs whereas he has nothing to offer you. In the other two examples, which i see as analogous you both have types of power. The clerk/17 year old is an employee and has the power to enforce the rules and regulations of the establishment. But you are the customer and you have the right to make (reasonable) requests of the employee which he has to obey. To go further, while "the customer is always right" may not apply, since you typically walk into a business planning on following their rules your interaction with the employee will mostly consist of you making requests and him obliging them. In other words, you have more power. Thus even if we assume that p2p is problematic. i don't see that occuring in your examples. i see n2p.
To say that misogynistic sexism is present in society is undoubtedly true but i think to assume it is determinative of power constantly and in all situations with both men and women regardless of any other factors is ludicrous.

"Sounds like Dovecote's spent a lot of time in grad school and very little in relationships."
Never been to grad school, I'm working class and extremely poor, always have been. I just happen to have spent a lot of time around both straight people and androgynous/queer people. If I see two people walking down the street who look like they don't cling to outdated gender roles, I feel comfortable talking to both of them. Why would I want to talk to a heterosexual couple whose relationship is invariably predicated on a hideous tangle of domestic abuse and gender dominance.

I might have missed someone else stating this, but most people gravitate to confidence or interest. I am going to assume that your interest level was not being reflected as well as your companion's. As far as M2M, that happens when it is all men, also. Again, confidence is a magnet. I am a big guy, tats, earrings, and when I travel for work with a group of guys, I am the one our contact always jumps to because to look like I do, I must know my stuff.

how about this:
i (female) go to the store with boyfriend or male friend, pay the guy at the register, and the guy hands the change to the male i am with. this has happened countless times, and it never feels quite right. it could be said that it is just because i am busy gathering the purchased items and my hands are busy for a split second or two. but i've worked at a register and i've never once given change to someone other than the person who paid me in the first place.
mentioned it to boyfriend once and he said i was just being overly sensitive. am i?

The people speak! I agree with the dude who thought the dude thought you were cute and being 17, etc., but the body language thing i'm not so sure about. Like, when this happens to me, my "body language" gets "closed" the second Man A speaks to Man B and ignores female me. Sometimes it just closes as I anticipate that this is about to happen. I wonder how much this "female reticence" is due to the fact that we assume we will not be addressed?

Could care less about M2M/W2W, as I'll talk to whoever responds first. Women do it, men do it, some unconsciously, some consciously. We all seem to deal. 🙂
Regarding guns, I as a liberal Democrat, Buddhist, and a vegetarian can say they're quite fun! I own several with the training to match, including a nice little semi-auto AK-47 that I keep in the closet and have a concealed handgun permit (getting death threats from the local Norte chapter for reporting drug dealing operations in one's neighborhood tends to make one consider guns a lot more useful).
The right to arms is perhaps the most liberal and progressive right there is, as it allows women, the aged, GLBT folks, or ethnic minorities to defend themselves from those stronger or more numerous than themselves, even if the attackers are similarly armed.
I go to my range with Obama/local Democrat stickers on my car or an Obama shirt, and I get the hairy eyeball, at least until they see that I can shoot a 3″ group at 300 yards – then even very hard core Republicans drop the schtick and realize that we both like guns a lot and it's more fun to talk about guns than politics anyway. 🙂

Consumption and Portfolio Rules with Stochastic Quasi-Hyperbolic Discounting
Ignacio Palacios-Huerta
London School of Economics
Alonso Pérez-Kakabadse
London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) - Department of Economics; Moore Capital Management
January 1, 2011
We investigate the joint consumption-saving and portfolio-selection problem under capital risk, assuming sophisticated but time-inconsistent agents. We introduce stochastic hyperbolic preferences as specified in Harris and Laibson (2008) and find closed-form solutions for the classic Merton (1969, 1971) optimal consumption and portfolio selection problem in continuous time. The portfolio rule remains identical to the time-consistent solution with power utility with no borrowing constraints. However, the marginal propensity to consume out of wealth is unambiguously greater than the time-consistent, exponential case.

When you get off the bus, train or ferry (everything is in the same place) follow the main street which goes to the old part of the town (street Obala kneza Domagoja). When you come near the 2 kiosks where they sell FERRY TICKETS (this is also a bus station from the airport and taxi terminal), go left to the main promenade (street Obala Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda). On half of it, on the right side you will see a news paper kiosk and you need to turn right in a square. After that right turn (street Trg brace Radica) just go straight, you will pass some shops (exchange office, PBZ bank, 2 hair dressers, book-shop and drugstore) all in the Maruliceva street. After that you will come to the main city square (Narodni trg) but you need to go again straight in the Bosanska street (you will pass shoe shop, pizza cut restaurant...) When you come to the Argentum shop, turn left in Nelipiceva street, walk 40 meters and after caffe bar "Bifora" you will see yellow house with metal door, that's us!

Christ and Satan is an Old English poem of around 730 lines (preserved in Oxford, Bodleian Library, Junius 11) that draws on Old and New Testament narratives in an exploration of the nature of Satan, his role in salvation history, and his relationship to God. The poem opens with the creation of the world, before moving quickly on to the rebellion of the angels. The consequences of the rebellion are vividly presented through lengthy speeches attributed to Satan, interspersed with moralising passages with a homiletic tone that emphasise the relevance of the material to its human audience. The second half of the poem centres on the harrowing of Hell and briefly refers to the day of judgement, creating some sense of an overall …

Xigmatek Utgard Review
Initial Impressions
Published: 1st April 2010 | Source: Case King | Price: £65.74 |
Initial Impressions
Starting of with the basics... Its a mid tower case, and quite pleasingly from my point of view is that its lines are very clean and simple, the designer was definately not taking anything stronger than Valium. Our case side panel has a large mesh section that can have up to 4x 120mm fans fitted or a 1x 200mm fan and all the mounts also have rubber grommets to help with keeping the noise down, but you can also buy a version with a clear windowed side panel should you prefer it.
There are 9x optical bays covering the whole of the front of the case which all have dist filters on the back. At the top of the front panel you'll find 4x USB ports, 2x eSATA, a headphone and a microphone port. The obvious power button is there but no reset button. With the wonders of Windows 7 you can set the power buttons secondary use to be rest if you use it so often you can not live without it. The top panel also has a pair of fan controllers each control 3 fans a very welcome addition to a case at this price point.
On the top of the case there is a large meshed panel which can be removed. It exposes an area that a a 2x120mm or 2x140mm radiator up to 46mm thick can be fitted. This is nothing new in todays day and age but lets remind ourselves that this case only costs £65... Finally manufacturers are giving us what we want without the need for mortgaging kidneys. Kudos.
Cracking the side open reveals yet more surprises, the first one being the internals are all powder-coated black, and the case ships with a Xigmatec 120mm exhaust fan, a 170mm roof fan, and another 120mm fan attached to the removable 4x hard drive mount that takes up 3 drive bays. The motherboard tray is not removable but it is covered in cable tidy holes, and a large cutout for fitting heatsinks on even the funkiest design of motherboard.
All 9 of the drive bays have tool less mounts, but its worth reminding you all that you could technically fit another 240mm radiator in the front of the case should you need to *wink wink*. The bottom of the case has a tool free mount for another 120mm fan and its always nice to see an additional dust filter for the PSU vents aswell.
All this talk of watercooling lets not forget to test this with our air system, we normally test our Q6600 with a Nexus HOC-9000 but yet again a case with a roof fan it doesnt fit. When tested with a Cooler master V8 temperature did not go above 50. Its hard to compare because of the new heatsink but with our pair of HIS 4870's at 50% fans they did not go above 73c. Thats the same temperatures that the In Win Maelstrom has just acheived even though the Utgard doesnt have any side fans!
Lets head over to the conlusion and wrap this up.

I've had this case for a while now, and what really annoys me, is that the front audio jack has reversed R/L channels. Whatever I do, I can not make it work properly. I found a temporary solution, though

when i get the time im gonna mod the hell out of it.Quote
on the top section on mine 3 stand off broke with in seconds. The metal is fairly thin on the side panels, how ever these are all minor things to be honest. Another problem though is the Fan spacing on the top for were you fit a rad are not correct they are not 15mm but 17mm how ever you can mess around a little and make it work quite well.
You need to be careful when moving it about as the plastics are a little on the flimsy side but alas what do u expect for the money.
I personally dont like the fans it came with as i found them to be quite low cfm with to much noise so i chucked in a couple of NZXT's which do the job better. How ever its not a complaint in any way cause getting 3 fans at this price is a bonus.Quote
The reason why only 1 rad is fitted in atm is to check the efficiency of the fluid. As its not only cooling as over clocked CPU quite well but its all so a over clocked chip set and on-board GPU and that double rad with the fluid is handling it easily with out any problems. All so the fans are only running at 1/2 speed though out the whole system so its close to virtually quiet.
This pretty much proves that the case air flow is working very well with its windows side panel but with the 4 x 120mm side panel it would run even cooler.
as for the over clock on a £45 MB , CPU and Ram (thks to stephy for that) well this is it ->
No if i played i could get a 2 x 120mm in the top, a 3 x 120mm in the front , 1 x 120mm in the bottom and 1 x 120mm on the back.
Also that wont be getting hot...... Its an AMD matey.Quote
the review states that the xigmatek is the best sub 100 quid case available. Surely its not better than the cm 690 II advanced?? you can fit 2 liquid rads in that and its only 73 quid
I know it's probably asking too much but could you test-fit one for me if you've still got the Utgard around?
2 slow granddad, I edited it already Didn't mean to sound like an arse but now you've quoted me.. I sure hope it fits. Would CCL be willing for me to return it if it doesn't?
But I can not find it on any site. Any body help?
So possible the Xigmatek UTGARD (Window version) or the Cooler Master Haf-X will have to do.
But another good review TTLQuote
One more thought, when buying a new case should a USB3 (in the front panel)be considered Vital/Necessary/nice to have?
One more thought, when buying a new case should a USB3 (in the front panel)be considered Vital/Necessary/nice to have?
Possible build so far...
Case: Xiggy Utgard
Motherboard: Intel P55
CPU: i5 750 (possibly)
Cooler: Xiggy Thor's Hammer (Thanks Tom!)
GPU: HIS 5770 1gb (Again, cheers Tom!)
HDD: Samsung F3 1TB
PSU: Possibly a Corsair TX650
RAM: 4GB Mushkin RAM
I'm going for a nice black and orange theme to go with the inside of the case. I've got some orange SATA cables and I'm looking at some Xigmatek Orange Fans too, possibly some Orange LED's to set it off a little.
Should be nice.
Thanks again, TTL!Quote
strangley enough i never used the fan controller lolQuote
I would say nice to have. There aren't that many USB3 devices out there yet. So if you don't own one that you are going to carry with you and plug in and out of your computer daily, I wouldn't say it is necessary. Also remember most cases do not have the USB3 header as a connection, just a regular plug that you route to the back of your IO.
One thing I have noticed that lot of manufactures are stating/indicating size of motherboards-GPUs the case will take. Note Xigmatek havent done that.Quote

How many of us really make the most of our evenings or weekends?
While it's nice to unwind on a Friday or Saturday, the weekday evenings are often a bit of a blur – hours spent watching reality TV shows, browsing online shops or occasional trips to the gym.
Why not make the most of your after-work hours with one of the many employment options available and enjoy a little extra cash each month?
What works for you?
Have a think about how many hours you have to spare. If you're strapped for cash, you may want to allocate four or five evenings a week to commit to a second job or a regular source of income.
If you simply have time on your hands and want to put some money away for a future investment, you may want a freelance job that allows you to work from home when and if you choose to.
Give your view
If you're able to travel after work, look into your nearest market research institution or focus groups being held in your area. Companies often require consumers to test their products or give feedback on ideas in short (usually one or two-hour-long) sessions. Alternatively, there are many online survey sites that allow you to fill in your opinions and receive cash once completed.
Related: 6 Ways to make extra cash
Use your skills
Think about what skills you have to offer – there are numerous opportunities for language tutoring, babysitting, dog walking or teaching classes such as yoga or dance. Remember that you can often tutor or offer services via Skype or online if you aren't willing to travel.
Perhaps you're good with DIY and around the home services like fixing stuck windows or broken washers, or maybe you're good with IT. Get some business cards made up and drop them in people's letterboxes in your area offering your services after hours.
Get specific
If you have a specific talent, make sure you use it to your advantage by building up a portfolio or showreel of your work. Create an online profile for yourself on LinkedIn or a creative site such as The Loop. Skills such as content writing, proofreading and graphic design can easily be utilised in the evenings as contract or freelance work for agencies.
Provide a service
Many large retailers are now outsourcing their customer service operations to third parties, or try a tele market research company. Often you may be able to sign up solely for evening shifts and all you need is access to a phone line and the internet.
Be an after hours gopher
The latest internet business model is to apply to do tasks that others need done in your local area. Using websites like AirTasker you can become a registered 'runner' and respond to tasks that have been posted by users near you. For instance someone might need their dry cleaning picked up, their grocery shopping done, or their IKEA furniture assembled. If you can do a task you bid for the job and get paid to do it if you are the chosen task runner.
Be creative
If you don't have a specific skill, have a look at sites such as eBay and Etsy. Get ideas and make your own products to sell – anything from greetings cards or framed photographs to cushion covers or placemats. You could make these things whilst watching TV or when you're relaxing at home usually doing nothing with your spare time.

Make sure you make the most of your evening hours, especially if you're in need of an increased cash flow. Evenings are a great time to get to work and you'll enjoy the benefits of the extra dollars.

We did manage to catch all the men's practices. And their skating was much better than I had hoped.
Rohene Ward did a mostly full run through of his program, landing his 3A and 3 other triples. I really love his creative skating, his great layback spins, spirals, Charlotte, and f/w. He also landed at least one quad in practice. I like his move where he does tiny circles, not quite a spin, into a double loop(?) didn't notice the edge-the jump was a surprise. He fell several times, but on the whole skated very, very well. I do like this guy.
Jordan Wilson skated his program through completing his 3a3t and another 3a with a lot of power and height in the jumps. He
also has a good Ina Bauer.
Michael Weiss didn't show up to practice, but they played his music. And you couldn't help thinking that between doing a jingoistic program at Dortmund, it can't be a great choice to skate here in Atlanta (DIXIE, Mike) to the Battle Hymn of the Republic (North, that was the NORTH, Mike) We should only be glad he did not pick to skate to Gen. Sherman's troops' theme march, Marching Through Georgia.
Tim must still be fighting his boots. He skated a relaxed practice, doing just segments of his Queen program, but he got through all of it eventually. It reminded me of the way Russian practices often look. It was a very relaxed kind of practice for him. He did land 2 quads and a 3a2t3lp, although he did also fall a couple times too.
Ryan Jahnke looks better than at SA, but landed maybe one 3A the whole practice and he tried a lot of them.
Johnny Weir did all kinds of interesting footwoork and connected single/double jumps and other such waiting to skate his program. And then when he went to skate his program, he did nothing really, for some reason.
Jorden Brauniger is very nice looking but wasn't landing much but doubles. He also does the Orser / Elvis Canadian style sit spin that doesn't go completely down.
Nicholas Laroche has a heck of a hydroblade move where his nose is inches from the ice (yes the face is DOWN toward the ice)
Parker Pennington, coached by Heiss, has all the unpleasant, gangly, bad posture look that Tim had when he was being coached by Carol. And he wasn't skating very well. I don't think I would send a child to Carol to coach.
Matt Savoie was doing his old Ragtime number and landing many of his jumps, had some problems, but overall seemed in good shape.
And if Mike picked all the north songs to skate to, Ryan Bradley made up for it by skating to Duelling Banjoes (think Deliverance), the Devil Went Down to Georgia, and I kid you not, finished up to Dixie. He did land 2 triple axels, and of course, incorporated a fair number of cheesy hoedown type moves.
Scott Smith did not have a very good practice, nor did Dennis Phan, or Derrick Delmore. Braden Overett seemed fairly happy with his practice. His music is also military.

Hans von Sponeck, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq, told correspondents today at the United Nations noon briefing that the situation in Baghdad had improved. With the infusion of additional resources totalling between 3 and 4 billion dollars, the humanitarian programme had expanded. The Iraqi Government had been encouraged to increase the content of the food basket, he said, noting that this was an issue that had been of concern throughout the six phases of the Iraqi oil-for-food programme. His office had negotiated with the authorities under phase 6 for a small increase of 50 calories per day, bringing the daily allowance up to 2100 calories. In the process, they had learned from the Government that food stocks were available for 75 per cent of the population.
Mr. von Sponeck said the Government had been persuaded to use all available funds under phases 4, 5, and 6 of the programme for specially targeted nutrition programmes for pregnant and lactating mothers, children and vulnerable groups. There were no more resources available under those phases. The Government had also contracted with firms in Holland, Yemen and France for vitamin-reinforced biscuits and therapeutic milk. The Government should be encouraged to increase the caloric content of the food basket even further, he added.
As the humanitarian programmes developed, he said, it was ill-advised to look at each sector in isolation. A healthy individual needed more than just food and medicine but also required clean water and adequate sanitary facilities. Throughout the years, there had been complaints of unsatisfactory distribution of medicine. The press had followed that in detail; in February, there had been stories of overstocks of medicine.
His office, he said, had just published a report on available stock, showing, sector by sector, what had arrived, what had been distributed, what had been kept in stock and why. Certain portions of the stock must be kept in reserve for emergencies. Such a buffer stock comprised the major portion of the stock that was not distributed. Certain items were not distributed because they were unusable without complementary parts that were unavailable. For instance, a supply of IV fluids could not be distributed because there were no syringes.
He said it was important to take the humanitarian programme out of the mainstream of political discussion. Because the memorandum of understanding between the Iraqi Government and the United Nations placed an emphasis on food, there was not much left for such items as education. Now the Government could be encouraged to invest in education. The Government, which was currently spending 10 per cent of what had been spent on education before sanctions were imposed, had proposed a 100 per-cent increase for that budget item. If the new generation of Iraqis were to be well prepared, everyone must help the United Nations to persuade the Iraqi Government to maximize its investment in people, to make them good national citizens, good representatives of their region and good global citizens.
A correspondent asked how much of the programme satisfied the overall needs of the Iraqi people.
Mr. von Sponeck said the only good answer was that it was inadequate. It was next to impossible to give percentages. Prior to the imposition of sanctions, the per capita allocation for Iraq had been $3000. It was now
$550, putting Iraq into the category of a least developed country. In the past, Iraq had invested in state-of-the-art equipment. That equipment was now a liability because it was too expensive to maintain.
In response to questions concerning the blocking of items that could be helpful to the Iraqi people, he said the whole picture had changed recently. The number of items being held back had increased in recent months, making it difficult to implement the humanitarian programme. Some items that could be used for humanitarian purposes had not been released. Complementary items that were on hold were particularly troublesome. The Secretary-General had written a strong letter of concern about that problem. He hoped that he and colleagues in Baghdad could do a better job of conveying to the Council the need to remove those items from hold status.
As often as not, he added, items were put on hold because of inadequate technical information. The Government must talk to its contractors and have them provide better information. The providers of the item and those who needed them must be very accurate in their descriptions. In one instance, he had tried to carve out drought relief items and encouraged Council members to take interest in removing them from hold. It had worked to some degree, but the Iraqi Government had not wanted sanctions to be relaxed only with regard to special items.
Asked if the situation were getting worse or better, he said there had been an increase in relative allocations for food and medicine, as the Council was careful to ensure that such needs were covered first.
As the Humanitarian Coordinator, he did not want to talk about sanctions, he said. He wanted to talk about deprivation. Of course, deprivation could be due to internal, as well as external reasons. He was not there to apportion blame but to encourage rethinking. After nine years, the population was at the brink of coping. His main concern, he said, was that Iraqi youth be prepared for the future.
Was there information that Iraq was exporting humanitarian goods out of the region? a correspondent asked.
Mr. von Sponeck said that if there were a large-scale export of food or humanitarian supplies, "we would know". However, they might not know if such activity took place on a small scale. "We are living in a big world of misinformation", he said. He challenged anyone to say that the items were not going where they belonged, more or less.
Replying to a question about the overall implementation of the programme, he said that items went where they were supposed to go, but that did not say much about impact. Eventually, the international community must be concerned about the limitations of a six-month programme. For successful institution-building, every nation needed to have a sense of ongoing planning and training.
Asked what would constitute a better alternative, if the United Nations were to do away with the present programme, he said he would separate the humanitarian discussion from the disarmament discussion. He would work on getting the two "de-linked".

Ohioriverslots is an established company that was built from the bottom up starting in 1999. We were extremely small and specialized in the reproduction of Japanese Pachislo slot machines. After a few hard years or work and building relationships with customers we grew much larger and started selling Authentic Slot Machines. These are the exact same slot machines you would see in the Las Vegas casinos today. We take great pride in our work and our relationships with each and every customer. You will find that when you contact us you will get a response in a matter of minutes. Our father started this company and has since passed it down to both of his boys. We work very hard to preserve the integrity instilled in running a business and most importantly treating people fairly. We are both young and ambitious which explains our attention to detail, adequate response time, and most importantly happy customers. Without happy and satisfied customers we don't grow or excel in what we do.
We are not a small company working out of our garage that does this as a hobby for extra spending money. At any given time we have over 1800+ slot machines. We stock IGT, Atronic, Bally, Konami, Aristocrat, Williams, Novomatic, and Ainsworth. Some of our more popular machines are the IGT S2000, IGT Gameking, IGT I games, and Williams Bluebirds. If you do not see a machine on our site please call us. We dont have all of our machines listed because we have too many. Are inventory changes monthly. We still can convert machines back to take tokens or coins.
I encourage everyone to check out our Ebay feedback and our Facebook reviews. We do not make up fake reviews to make ourselves look good. Another thing you will like about us is that we take a videos/pictures of your machines before it leaves here. We want to ensure that there are no surprises when you receive your machine. Also it will be nice to rest assure that your machine is working properly before it leaves our facility. Who else offers that kind of service?
We believe we are the largest company in the country when it comes to retail. When dealing with retail you have to have a company that will be there for you after the sale. Try calling or texting us at 10pm at night I can almost guarantee that you will get a response or we will answer your call. Not many small businesses can say that.
