This is an awesome company to do business with. From start to finish they are 100% concerned about customer satisfaction. I live in Historic Irvington and ordered my crown moulding, door and window trim from them. They did and excellent job, came out to show me my options-twice, then the materials were manufactured and delivered in a timely manner. We dealt with Dustin and he even called after each delivery to see how it went and then later called to see if the wood was up and if we were satisfied. You simply do not get this level of service from the big box stores. I cannot say enough good things about them, the quality and the price. Not to mention that they are a family owned business...

Prodigy, Wyclef and others appeared on RapFix Live today to speak on the Zimmerman trial and the "Stand Your Ground" laws. Before the closing out, Clef performed his Trayvon Martin tribute. Full episode below.
Tag: wyclef jean
As the nation continues to protest yesterday's verdict across the nation, Wyclef Jean seeks justice and sends his tribute to Trayvon Martin.
To get his message across, Wyclef Jean dumbs it down in front of some of the game's most disturbing images in April Showers' latest visual. Fittingly enough, it's a WSHH premiere. Ha!
If you want it, you gotta go get it. But luckily for us, 360 hands over his end result of his and Clef's recent studio session. Beginning Of Forever happens Tuesday.
As 6-0 looks on, Wyclef Jean adds some funky guitars and pianos to their collabo "Gotta Get It" off Beginning Of Forever. The song drops tomorrow. LP on June 11th.
While in Chicago, Wyclef shot a visual for April Showers' anti-violence cut. That gat-tar looks mean and vicious. Download the tape here.
For Wyclef, waking up in his Bugatti is nothing but blurry and shaky images of random clips. If you're up and haven't done so yet, download April Showers here.

Check also the other styles of SK0117in our 2015, and 2016 Swarovski range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame.

The SK0117 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Whether natural or extravagant - the colour green makes you stand out from the crowd and makes your eyeglasses the perfect accessory. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
Even if this Swarovski is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

The very "best" doctor in the world. He delivered both of my girls and I have been going to him for 17 years. He is awesome!!
Loved Dr Bearman. Great sense of humor. Delivered my daughter in 1990. !
I have seen Dr. Dale Bearman since 1995. He's been with me through several surgeries; he listens to you and does the right tests to find your problem. Every other doctor I went to before him want to "diagnose" me with other things, all which could be confirmed with blood work which they never did, and none of them were correct! After being "diagnosed" with PCOS, needing hormones and a few other things, Dr. Bearman finally took the time to do a simple ultrasound which showed several uterine polyps...imagine that?! After the endometrial ablation I had didn't work, things got worse and another simple ultrasound showed that I had large fibroids in the wall of my uterus. Dr. Bearman takes great care of and with his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a gyn, and I would never think of going to anyone else. Dr. Bearman rocks!
explaining the procedure, giving me comfort, and immediately contacted me and made an apt. when the result was bad.
He is an incredible doctor. He has been a blessing in getting me all the help I need when my problems arise. He has been excellent when I got my disease and so helpful in getting me everything I need to take care of it. Not only that but he saved my dear friend's life by diagnosing her fibroid tumors. His bedside manor is excellent and I trust him with my life.
I have been Dr. Bearman's patient for over 18 years and trust him. Whenever I have had a different point of view, he truly LISTENS and doesn't push me to do anything unless he believes it is truly in my best interest. When I had a hysterectomy many years ago, I had a special request that many doctors would not have even considered. He did what I asked (under conditions he felt comfortable with), and my surgery went extremely well. He's a gem!
I would recommend Dr. Bearman to anyone who is planning surgery. He is absolutely awesome. His bedside manner and knowledge and experience,gave me the confidence I needed to go ahead with my decision to have surgery. Wonderful man!

Tidying up and I found 2 proof sets, one for Tell me a dragon, with added dragons, one for One Cheetah, One Cherry. Into the auction they go… not as individual pages as the astonishing Fiona Dunbar has enough to manage, but as whole sets. Idea for people who want to frame them, or decorate a school room, or keep them as a weird investment.
So, here's where to place bids: Click on the links in the title.
Both will come with a signed copy of the book.
Please share if you will and let anyone who might be interested know.
And why was I tidying up? Because there is still time to bid on my studio visit:
or the huge box of books donated by Quarto, Otter-Barry Books, Barrington Stoke and Graffeg. There is a rare copy of Little One, We Knew You'd Come in there and Singing to the Sun by Viv French and a Helene Cardonna poetry book too. A huge parcel. Hmmm…. might need to get an elephant to deliver it.
Meanwhile, here is what Joanne Harris said of The Quiet Music. Getting lovely feedback from the show at New Brewery.

How I Dropped 142 lbs In A Year & Lost 220 lbs In A Day
By Alicia L. Ash
iUniverse, Inc.Copyright © 2009 Alicia L. Ash

Chapter OneI'm Fat and I Know It
It's been twenty-five years, and I still remember my first day of high school as if it was yesterday. September 1984. I was so excited that I could hardly sleep the night before. I remember waking up at 6 AM to get dressed. Just a short year ago, I didn't have a desire to get up at all. But on that day, however, my first day of high school, I woke up early with so much zest and zeal for life. Everything had to be perfect. Fresh starched jeans, beautiful red shirt with matching red pumps. My hair was long, black and curly. My size ... a perfect size eight. I remember twirling around in the mirror. No, I wasn't vain. I just wanted to make sure that everything looked right. It was the first day of high school, and I knew it was the start of a new life for me. Little did I know then that I would never see that perfect size eight again until almost twenty-years later.
Weight had never been an issue for me. Maybe you could say that I had good genes. Or maybe it was just sheer luck. Who knows? My dad was in the military, and we were stationed in many different places. We moved around a lot. It seemed like as soon as I gained a new friend, one that I could trust, it was time to move again. It wasthe story of my life. I became used to being the new girl. The girl that everybody judged. The girl that no one knew if she was black or biracial ... I just made sure that I was the new, cool kid. It didn't matter how fair my skin was or how curly my hair was, to be "in", you had to be cool.
It was October, and my birthday was in a few weeks. I think I was more excited because my mom told me that on my birthday I could start wearing a little lip stick and very little eye shadow. All the girls were wearing makeup and I think I was the only one who wasn't. At least, that is what it felt like. I begged her for months and months and finally she agreed! Even if she hadn't agreed, I had my backup plan in place. I had a white friend whom I told that she should give me her eye shadow since her mom was cool, and she could get more. Not to mention, she would get the right kind.
So the next day she brought me all new makeup and said that her mom bought it for me. At that moment, I felt she had the best mom in the world. She was so lucky. Not that my mom wasn't great too but just not about makeup.
It was getting closer to my birthday, and I was counting down the days. I couldn't wait to wear my makeup. I was still in disbelief that my mom had agreed, so I was walking on eggshells around her. Praying she didn't take it back. I had done everything she had asked me to and then some.
I never understood why my sister was never into make up or high-heeled shoes. I wore pumps every day and she would only wear blue jeans and t-shirts. I would tell her all the time that she was not in the cool crowd. My sister Tonya was a grade ahead of me, but we were like night and day. We were so different. At the high school we attended, only the really cool people hung out down stairs and the nerds hung out upstairs. So when I arrived my freshman year, I was told that you don't hang out downstairs unless you are going to eat lunch. I had to hang out down there and everyone thought I was in the tenth grade. No need to change it. Finally, I was in the cool group. Makeup, high-heels. Go Alicia go! Not to mention at school, I was the center of attention with all the boys. They loved themselves some me. Heck, I was in love with me too.
At home, I started having the big head. I had forgotten that school was not home. At home, I was Alicia. Wash the dishes, take out the trash, clean your room Alicia. Not the miss cute Alicia who all the guys worshipped and the girls wanted to hang out with.
One day my mom said look here sweetie you are a beautiful girl but your nasty attitude makes you ugly and you best straighten it. At the time, I couldn't even begin to fathom why my attitude would make me ugly. What was my mom talking about? I was too cute to be ugly-ever!
When all my friends got a job and started buying their own clothes, I had to do the same thing. Yes, I wasn't real original back in those days. I told my mom that I wanted to work so that I could buy my own clothes. My mom agreed, under one condition. I had to keep my grades up. Easy enough, I though.
After some searching, I finally got a job at Taco Bell. I worked every day because I learned that the more hours that I worked, the more money I made. The more money I made, the more clothes and makeup I could buy. The more clothes and makeup I bought, the better I looked and the more I stayed in with the cool kids. I was living the good life. In fact, I was so sharp that some of my teachers had started to ask to borrow my clothes, but my mom didn't play the clothes sharing. In fact, we weren't allowed to spend the night at anyone else's house either. This was true especially if she didn't know their parents. Heck, even if she knew their parents, it was still a tough sell.
Keeping my grades up, working and then I started modeling in different fashion shows. This was truly the highlight of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed modeling. This became my life. I loved all that modeling had to offer. It brought me a sense of selfworth. Modeling validated my beauty. It meant to the world that you were certified pretty. I love d modeling clothes and having people clap. I could hear the whispers of how pretty I was. I was on top of the world.
I would either enter different contest or someone would enter me in a contest. Modeling felt like I was born to do it. Not only did I model but I could sing too. All anyone had to do was put a microphone in my hand I lit up like a Christmas tree.
I would go to the skating rink on the weekends and enter the singing contest and win every time. I won all the school talent shows too. I was on top of the world!
My world got even better when I met this guy named Bobby at the skating rink. He was there singing too. He sounded just like Prince. The boy could saaaang. I told Bobby about my connections at the radio stations and soon Bobby and I became a duo (music only). We started to sing and perform at various events. We opened shows for large events, dinners, clubs, etc. We even had a band that would play for us. I was living my dream. I had always wanted to be a performer. I loved every minute of it. How can I ever forget our signature song, "Secret Lovers" by Atlantic Star. When we performed that song, people were swaying in the audience. Some even accused us of lipsynching because it sounded so authentic. Nope, no lipsynching. We could sing, and we really loved it. I'm in a band and an opportunity to really do some big things in music and fashion. It was 1988 when my dad came home with the news that we were moving to Columbus, Georgia. I couldn't believe it. I had a boyfriend that I loved. We had been together for three years. I didn't want to pack up and move and start over. No way. I was devastated. I cried for days. I told my friends and they cried with me too. I knew that I would never ever marry anyone in the military because it was a life that I was already fed up with.
Chapter TwoI Did Not Want To Move
April 1988- Columbus, GA. We moved and got settled fairly quickly. We moved so much that moving was an art form for my family. In fact, in most cases, our house was completely setup within a week. If you came by you would think we had been living there for years. Pictures on the walls and accessories completely in place.
Shortly after we moved in, my boyfriend caught the bus here to see me. Of course, I thought this was very cool. So, I told my mom she should let me catch the bus to see him for Christmas. Of course, my mom thought this was not cool. In fact, it wasn't even up for discussion. Her answer was a flat "no". But a no wasn't going to stand in the way of me and the boy I loved.
So, when Christmas came I decided would just plan my own trip. Big mistake. I thought that I planned it pretty well-at the time. I calld the bus station to see what time the bus left. Correction. I called to see what time the late bus left. I wanted to plan my escape while they were asleep.
During that time there was a young girl that had moved in-25 years old and with a car. She was cool though. I asked her if she would take me to the bus station at midnight. She agreed.
It was 4 AM when my parents got up and realized that I was not in that bed. They called my boyfriend first. And by the time he got to the bus station to pick me up, his first words were, "your mom is driving down here to whip your A-."
I quickly got on the phone with my mom and after much begging, pleading, and crying, I convinced my mom to let me ride the bus back. She even agreed to let me ride the bus every now and then to see my friends.
I eventually got me a job at Taco Bell in Columbus and things started to change because I was older and more mature and meeting new people and realizing I wanted to date. I had only dated on person all through high school and he was a whole bus ride away! We were seventeen and engaged. What was I thinking? So, I started to get scared and started to date other people.
He's was in college, and I was at Taco Bell, looking cute and thinking I am not going to be tied down. I liked the attention that I received from all the guys. I was still a perfect size 8, and I looked fabulous.
His plan for us was to go into the military, since this was a huge military town. He thought that he could make a lot of money in the military and our lives would be set. We would get married and live a good life.
Next thing I know, he dropped out of college, joined the military, and was on his way to see me! Me ... the same me who was having a ball dating OTHER guys. I wanted to be sure that he was the one and what better way than to date to make sure. The problem is that I was on a date with my new boyfriend when he pulled into our driveway. We had just gone out to eat. I noticed the strange car in the driveway, but I thought it was just one of my dad's military friends. Yes, the tag was out of town, but the tag is always an out of town tag. So, I didn't think anything of it.
In we walk, laughing and talking after coming back from dinner and straight into the face of my fiancé! He was sitting on the couch with one of his friends. I couldn't say anything, so all I could muster was an unintelligible "excuse me" and walk past him into my parents room.
My dad didn't hold back on me. He told me that I was wrong and that I needed to handle it. I walk back into the living room and my fiancé asks that he and I go outside to talk. As soon as we step outside, I start to apologize profusely. I am talking, crying and apologizing all at the same time. In the middle of my tirade, my Columbus boyfriend comes out to tell me that I need to make a choice.
I tried to work it out with my fiancé. We made a go of it, but after a while and with the distance, we did finally break up. I continued to see the Columbus boyfriend. As a result, we began to see each other every day.
I see him for a very long time. We spent a lot of time together. A lot of time. So much time that when I start to complain to my friends about having a headache and feeling tired, they automatically assumed that I was pregnant.
Chapter ThreeWhere It All Begins
I got the test, took it, and sure enough.... I was pregnant. Everyone was so excited. I was still a little in shock. I am happy but in shock. Mostly, I couldn't stand to look at the father anymore. I wanted to hurt him. I wanted revenge. I asked my friend to pray for me everyday because I needed prayer! I actually wanted to hurt this man. I couldn't believe the my emotions could be on such a rollercoaster ride. How one minute, I could think about him and nothing else and the next I wanted to erase ever knowing him. I once told my friend that I wanted to cut him just to see if he would bleed. She was on the floor laughing. Her exact words were, "with your scared self, you won't even step on a bug let alone cut someone."
Of course, I wouldn't cut anyone and probably wouldn't step on a bug either ... but I did tell him to get out and I will call him when the baby is born. The funny thing was that I wasn't even a full two months and I was already trying to get rid of him. Actually, it wasn't him. He hadn't done much-except get me pregnant. However, the old adage goes, it takes two to tango. So, he wasn't the only one to blame. I was a willing participant. It wasn't him. It was just his scent. I couldn't believe that all the stuff that I've heard women talk about in the beautyshop was true ... morning sickness, emotions on a roller coaster and scents driving you wild. I had all of that and more!
I was literally sick every day. At that time, I swore that I would not have any more kids. I kept praying that if God blessed me with a healthy baby boy, I would never have any more kids. I was going to get my tubes tied.
I was in the bed all day long. It took a while but eventually, I started to feel better. But it took a while to get there.
I had been so sick that I had almost forgotten that Valentines Day was here. My sister called and asked if I would come over and cut her twin boys hair before their grandmother came to pick them up. I am a little slow, not knowing that she was having a party that night. When I walk in, there are five people already there. So I just go straight to the bedroom to get in there and out of her way.
By the time I was done and cleaned the boys up and came out, there was quite a few people out there. I was really in no mood to socialize. So I spoke and told my sister to call me tomorrow.
I was trying to leave when this one guy started coming towards me. I keep walking towards outside. So does he. When we get outside, I told him that I am not interested and to take a good look at my pregnant belly.
He kept walking me to the car and insisted on having my name. He kept talking to me about him and where he was from and why he was at the party in the first place. He had just come in from Korea and some friends invited him to the party. He said someone told him to come so they could hook him up with some chick, as he put it. So why was he out here bothering me, I thought.
He told me that he was supposed to be at the party to meet her but he would rather "meet" me. I reiterated my pregnant belly by pointing to it while stating the words, "I am pregnant and not interested." He asked if I was married or dating someone. I told him that I was single.
Well, I must have been just standing there looking thirsty because the next thing I know we are pulling up at the store and he goes in and gets a 2 liter for us. He said, "I want to make sure if you get thirsty later, you are taken care of." I drove him back to my sister's house, and expressed my appreciation for the 2 liter. I asked his name. He said that everyone called him by his last name. Ash. I said, "Thanks for the drink Ash." He asked for my number and I gave it to him but one condition-that I could have his too.
We started talking every day. He wanted to make sure me and the baby was Ok. Now the question was, what did I want?
Chapter FourMy Friend
Ash and I became the very best of friends. I had never met someone so funny in my life. He could make a dead man laugh. He was so hilarious. We would go out to dinner almost every night. He took me for banana splits, dessert, something different every day. And boy was the weight piling on, but I didn't care. I was happy. Pregnant and happy! I just believed that I could lose it because I was pregnant. He never even cared about how big I was getting. He would always tell me how beautiful I was. I was just so amazed because here is a handsome, young man who is spending all his time with a woman who is carrying the baby of another man! Ash just said that he loved me and my long, black, naturally curly hair and my round, peach shaped face. He loved me for me.
Ash was a part of my life, and I loved it. He was military and would have to go to the field for 30 days at a time. He always called to tell me where he was. Before he headed out to the field, he would call me and tell me to come and get his truck and his credit card. He insisted that I got the things that I needed for the baby. I was still in shock and how freehearted this man was!
All my friends wanted to know if he had a brother. They couldn't believe how Ash had come into my life and just changed it for the better. So, I got dressed and went out to his unit to get his truck. I was feeling like maybe I should not take his credit card but he insisted that he would take care of me and my baby. I was not going to argue with him. He knew what he wanted to do, and at this point, I needed the help.

I haven't but I wish you and the baby the best! That's been one of my fears carrying my twins - that my cervix wont hold them. But so far so good- I'm 22 weeks along. of course u never know when it will happen. Did u have any symptoms?
Posted 08/11/2012
Is this your first pregnancy? What are those numbers? I'm not sure what it means. Prayers for your babies to stay put. Be very careful, stay inactive and try to stay positive. (((hugs)))

I'm sorry you have to go through this... stay strong and think positively. Who is measuring your cervix? my ob doens't even do ultrasounds, just the heart beat sonogram. How did you know your cervix was thinning and get measurements?

I'm in the same boat my cervix is not holding up well with twins. I'm a FTM so everything is so new to me. I'm now 28 wks 3 days, hope I can hold them in at least 4 more weeks. I got the steroid shots at 25 wks.

Did either of y'all have a cerclage to essentially sew your cervix shut?

Sean Wilson reviews Iron Man 3 composer Brian Tyler's sensational London concert…
What does it take to an endure as a successful film composer in the 21st century? The answer, if you're Brian Tyler, is versatility – and a lot of energy. Making his concert debut at London's Royal Festival Hall on Saturday night, the ubiquitous Tyler presented a rollicking line-up of his various scores for film, TV and console games, his muscular offerings proving that he really is this generation's heir apparent to Jerry Goldsmith (that many of his scores exceed the quality of the projects for which they're written is another facet he shares with Goldsmith.)
Loose and limber whilst addressing the might of the Philharmonia Orchestra, plus choir, Tyler's dazzling conducting skills made for sheer spectacle all on their own, the composer using his entire body and vigorously gesticulating to all points »

Current Round
Min Deposit: 1.00 Max: 20 Skins
cs go market
Le himself split from the Counter Strike brand back in 2006 to pursue his own agenda, and released Tactical Intervention several months ago.
Valve's relaxed approach to beta timings extends to the game's full release. CS: GO was announced as an early 2012 title for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, but Faliszek said that specifically when the game launches will be down to the community.The game also has background interactions, which boil down to things that cause damage and things you can jump off of to cover a huge distance very quickly. All characters interact with objects the same way, as opposed to Injustice's more nuanced system, where characters broke down into "speed" or "power" camps. Picking up old women, dead bodies, or hapless monks and throwing them at your foes is pretty amazing. A new meter governs your use of interactables, preventing you from spamming them over and over again. The meter also drains when you back dash and when you run, which is another addition over the previous game. I found the run command to be a little cumbersome, as it requires you to hit block after a forward dash. So if you happen to be the sort of player who likes to dash forward and immediately block, hoping to bait out some sort of attack, that block turns into a run, leaving you wide open to damage. That took some adjusting on my part, and I'm still occasionally running face-first into someone's foot because I didn't remember to double-tap block to start and then immediately stop the run. This seems like the sort of thing that is more of a me problem than anything else, but I figured I'd mention it just the same.Characters come in three variations, which you select while you're selecting the character. This means that you can select a Scorpion that has swords that are used in some of his normal moves, a Scorpion who has additional fire abilities (including a proper fireball), or a Scorpion that uses clone-like minions in some new special moves. It's a cool touch that lets you pick a character type that fits more to your sort of fighting style (or counter-pick someone else's without completely changing characters), but in some cases it distributes the special moves in ways that feel weird or reuse moves from other games. One of Reptile's variants, for example, just steals The Flash's ability to slow down time right out of Injustice, color change and all.Puedes conseguirlo todo - desde los skins más baratos de un par de céntimos a artículos de colección, como Dragon Lore y Bayonet Fade. Como siempre, puedes contar con varias ventas impresionantes y los mejores precios en el mercado.
There are now many more consumer events in the UK PC trade's calendar, from Multiplay i-series to Dreamhack London, MCM, Gadget Show Live and more.The PlayStation 4 is getting an officially-licensed keyboard and mouse combo.Kauft man einen All Access Pass für 5,29€, dann bekommt man noch einiges mehr geboten. Es gibt drei Kampagnen mit vielen Missionen. Da w?re zum einen die ?Wildfire Campaign" mit insgesamt 30 Missionen, die sich über verschiedene Spielmodi erstrecken. Dann gibt es aber auch die kooperative ?Gemini Campaign", die man zusammen mit einem Freund bestreiten muss und deren Missionen man immer wieder spielen kann. Diese Kampagne umfasst die beiden kooperativen Spielmodi ?Guardian" und ?Strike".Prof. Morgan McGuire of Williams College, an industry consultant and coauthor of "Computer Graphics: Principles & Practice", explained that, "We'll quickly see a few small improvements to a small number of games, but DX12 won't instantly make everything better — it is a developer technology, not a consumer one. Over the next two years we'll see the real impact as new PC-exclusive games designed for DX12 ship."
- Improved CSGODoubleWe recently reviewed CyberPower's Fangbook III – an MSI GT70 reskin – remarking that its power output afforded tremendous speed even in professional video editing applications, but that its size necessitated the purchase of a plus-size backpack. This single fact relegated the 18-plus inch Fangbook to desktops, serving as a viable convention-going workhorse, but allowing zero mobility. Having seen that a modern i7 and GTX 980M mobile pairing could outperform many desktops, we decided to venture into portable, high-performance notebooks.Valve had recently introduced the "Limited User Accounts" which they've done in order to cut down on the amount of spam and bot accounts created that spam and scam users already on their gaming platform Steam.
Valve has never been against trading, but it looks like this aspect—the proverbial back alleys and sketchy parking garages of the practice—was irking them. I've reached out to Valve for official comment, but they've yet to reply. I'll update this post when/if they do. It's Christmas list season and it's possible that if you have children or a tech-loving adult in your household, one of them will have cheekily requested a new games console. You may even be thinking of buying one for yourself so that you can steadfastly avoid festive television.While OPSkins is totally independant from Steam's Community Market, the men say that Valve hasn't given them any trouble. "We had talks with Valve," said Brechisci. "They shut us down once. They investigated what we were doing and then they turned us back on and said we were good to go." In fact, their business is doing so well that OPSkins says it now employs 20 staff members, spread across the US, Canada and Europe.Fundamental parts of Counter-Strike are opaque. Which surfaces can and can't be penetrated, and by which weapons? How do flashes work? Can a player that loses the first two rounds of a match afford an AWP? You have to be willing to do some homework and take in raw facts about the game, information that drives deeper realizations about how it can be playedWith CES just past, there's a move in the market to introduce new computer hardware through Q1 and Q2, making for a prime buying time of existing stock.
"All the bad press that this brought and the major hit the image of an otherwise respectable brand took was too much," Grust writes. "Sponsors and partners with whom we were about to sign understandably backed out of deals, not wanting to be associated with a company that had just been tarnished. Needless to say, our budget for 2015 had gone up in smoke from one day to another."It has not been a strong few weeks for the CS:GO dev team. I reported on Friday that the Winter Update's maligned R8 revolver had been nerfed after only three days—obscene stopping power and pinpoint accuracy for its price had effectively killed eco rounds. Now, Valve has rolled back the accompanying tweaks to pistols and rifles, stating "we likely changed too much too quickly". Valve's Gabe Newell did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit today, answering scores of community questions and no, not revealing that he has a build of Half-Life 3 hidden in a volcano lair. If you're hearing otherwise, one user edited his (now deleted) question to include Half-Life 3 and create the appearance that Newell confirmed it. Nope. He did, however, talk about Source 2, Steam, CS: GO, and Dota 2, as well as answer a question vaguely related to HL3 in the form of a question about Ricochet 2.
I think with TI, I was actually trying to work a different style of level design initially, and I don't think it really worked out so well. I think most players like the CS style of level design. CS style ... very bilinear. It has various set paths, but it doesn't have more than two different routes to each bomb site in general. Some maps have three, but in general it tries not to be too much like a labyrinth, too confusing for the player.ʏһҳúcsgo skin list

Discount Tagamet
More Than Stats | By Jrich
November 9, discount tagamet 2012
NFL ballers Steven Jackson and Brandon Lloyd are showing their love for horse races as they recently attended the 2012 Breeders Cup Championship this past week in Los Angeles. Discount tagamet Both gentlemen attended the 2-day event in sharp fashionable attire, discount tagamet whose look are you feeling??
Steven Jackson attended both days of the event in suave tailored suits, discount tagamet both looks were well assembled, discount tagamet accessorized with pattern neckties and handkerchiefs. Discount tagamet My favorite was the glen plaid double breasted suit, discount tagamet very trendy color.
Brandon Lloyd went with a more casual getup, discount tagamet but still classy as he paired a off-white sports coat, discount tagamet with slim fit navy trousers. Discount tagamet Going sans the necktie was a perfect choice for this ensemble, discount tagamet a tie would of been too much in my opinion, discount tagamet smooth and basic.

Fans of the Kick-Ass comics and film, you may now rejoice, for the Kick-Ass 2 red-band trailer is now upon you. Sure, the special effects don't look that hot, and the adult humor paradoxically gets a bit juvenile, but hey—you get the return of Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kick-Ass, Chloe Grace Moretz as Hit Girl, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse becomes The Mother F***er, while Jim Carrey offers a bizarre turn as Colonel Stars and Stripes.
And while he's only in the trailer for a few moments, it's definitely Carrey who steals the show here, borderline unrecognizable as an unhinged and patriotic vigilante who leads the group Justice Forever. Elsewhere, you have Mintz-Plasse forming a union of super-villains to wage a war of vengeance against Kick-Ass over the events of the first film. Check it out:

Wait! Come Back! We Didn't Mean It!
Come back! We were just kidding! We don't hate you, really! So will come the supplications from the once-proud democracies of Europe. Turns out America as the world's lone superpower might not be so bad after all. As Russian fascism re-emerges, transmogrified into what one might euphemistically call a "Corporate State," and China's leaders show no signs of taking their boots off of their citizens' faces, the brave soldiers for democracy of the traditional European states are ready once again to hide behind America's broad back. Of course, the nascent republics that budded off of the USSR sought shelter with us from the beginning; they knew what monsters there be beyond their eastern borders. The French, the Germans, the Italians, even to some extent the British, blew the U.S. elitest raspberries: "The Cold War is over—take your bad manners and your stinky feet and your bloody hands and go home!" (Never mind that the mud on our boots was European mud; and the blood on our hands was our own, spilled in defense of those who now spit at us.)
Conservatives know this truth: Good doesn't always carry the day, and evil is preternaturally resilient. (At least until God declares history well and truly over.) History is not a Hollywood drama, with the guys in the
white (oops, racist code) whatever-stands-for-good-now hats facing down the guys in the other-color hats and emerging bloody but victorious. We can't sit back in our comfy velvet theater seats, just pretending to cover our eyes at the gore, because after all, the hero never dies! Remember the Alamo? The good guys lost. We can lose this one too. Edmund Burke had it right: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing." (Although Wikipedia says the provenance of that quote can't be reliably determined.)
While the left both here and in the EU was noisily clamoring for America's leash to be yanked, the real nasty guys got ready for war. And war it will be—post-modern or plain vanilla 20th century style. Robert Kagan has a tremendous piece in The Weekly Standard on-line today. Here's a sample from one of the final paragraphs:
"The spread of democracy in the last two decades of the 20th century was not merely the unfolding of certain ineluctable processes of economic and political development. The global shift toward liberal democracy coincided with the historical shift in the balance of power toward those nations and peoples who favored the liberal democratic idea, a shift that began with the triumph of the democratic powers over fascism in World War II and that was followed by a second triumph of the democracies over communism in the Cold War. The liberal international order that emerged after these two victories reflected the new overwhelming global balance in favor of liberal forces. But those victories were not inevitable, and they need not be lasting. Today, the reemergence of the great autocratic powers, along with the reactionary forces of Islamic radicalism, has weakened that order and threatens to weaken it further in the years and decades to come."
The words I quoted in a post from the July 4th holiday bear repeating: America is now the heart of the flame. That flame is nothing less than Western civilization. It encompasses (to name just a few ideas) the rule of law, peaceful transfer of power, respect for individual liberty and private property rights, democratic representation in government (or a representative republic works), and the ideas enshrined in our Bill of Rights. American exceptionalism is not an illusion; it may once again be the salvation of what is most honorable, most true—indeed, most God-like—in the story of human civilization.

Coming off a year where Kiss' induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame came off as the ungrateful Gene and Paul show, original member and now solo outsider Ace Frehley had something to prove, at least to the loyal fans (aka the Kiss Army). As such, Space Invader is the required retro return, one that's well-executed, from its '80s video game title to its mix of thick, singalong rockers and laid-back guitar show pieces. Of the latter, "Past the Milky Way" ("I sail past the Milky Way/Just to hold you in my arms") is the kind of midtempo, Blue ™yster Cult-like stuff that supports comic book lyrics like "Let's rendezvous on Mars" so well, while the closing "Starship" is a six-stringer's delight, jangling along with Ace in acoustic mode and reminding fans that his constant referencing of the Beatles sometimes comes through in his music. These mellow moods round out the album well, and yet the meat and potatoes are the space truckin', gutsy rockers like "Gimme a Feelin," a lusty blast of bravado where cliches meet those strange, clumsy, and lovable Ace-isms like "And baby, you got what it takes/To really jangle my brain." "What Every Girl Wants" is Destroyer-era magic from a man who was there, then "Inside the Vortex" reminds listeners that Kiss would sometimes stretch into the world of prog rock whenever Ace channeled his inner Asimov. Biggest sci-fi thrill of them all would be the title-track opener, which is just too over-the-top and laser-powered to sell to newcomers, and it's worth mentioning that the cover of Steve Miller's "The Joker" is delivered with charm and proper lightheartedness. No kowtowing to the current sound or other embarrassments make this a fan album in the best sense, and on top of it all, Ace's guitar playing is inspired while his voice remains a Buck Dharma-like mix of warm and weathered. For longtime fans, Space Invader is a rocket well worth riding. ~ David Jeffries

In most, if not all eLearning and classroom courses, one of the first things mentioned are the Learning Outcomes. After all, they're the purpose of the course. Unfortunately, in many cases, there isn't a lot of thought put into them. Here are three examples that I dislike seeing:
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand something, or
- Be aware of something, or
- Know something.
The problem with these outcomes is that they are too vague. Yet they are used all too often to set the scene for an online or face-to-face learning experience. Sure, understanding, awareness and knowledge are part of the learning process. You could even argue they are learning outcomes because hopefully by the end of a course, learners will understand, be aware and know something that they didn't know before. The problem is these type of outcomes don't go far enough. How can you tell if a learner understands, is aware or knows something?
They'll be able to DO something.
As someone who works in the learning space, one of my goals is to help change behaviour and ultimately improve the performance of the employees in organisations. There are many ways to do this both formally and informally but focusing on what will be learned i.e. the content, its stopping short of the ultimate goal of behaviour change and performance improvement.
For example, if I'm designing a course around an organisational policy, such as a Code of Conduct, a learner is aware of, and knows that, the code exists – just by taking the course.
So, an outcome isn't really:
- You'll be able to understand the requirements of the Code of Conduct.
It's only part of what people are able to do. A real outcome is:
- You'll be able to make ethical decisions while working at our organisation.
See the difference? The first one is content focused – what the code says to do and not do, where the second is performance focused – making decisions based on what the code says to do. The second is much more realistic because it's about application. So why don't we use Performance Outcomes? Surely, by moving away from Learning Outcomes, we can focus on the desired performance required from learners and not what content is to be covered during the course?
A performance focus should also guide us through the analysis and design of the course by focusing on what people need to be able to do. This will result in an improved outcome for the people who are participating and for the organisation as a whole.
What's your view?

No matter how much you try to limit your spending, saving money for rainy day is easier said than done. Especially when the top you like is now reduced, it would be rude not to try it on…
You know your essay is due tomorrow. You know it won't write itself. You also know that the Come Dine With Me omnibus starts at 1pm and it isn't a repeat!!
After the umpteenth episode of Come Dine With Me, you realise you should probably of started your essay this morning, and so have to endure an all nighter to hit your 5,000 word count. (Oh joy!)
Your function rate is probably not top form, however you can still make your way to the 9am lecture and put sentences together. Whether people understand them or not is their problem.
Need we say more?
Harvard referencing has to be one of the most complicated procedures ever, and yet it is so important! Why does it have to be so hard but so important!
Cereal is a wonderful snack and can satisfy not only in the morning, but noon and night. Although, you should probably eat some fruit and veg too. Anyone ever thought of broccoli muesli? No? Probably for a good reason.
And still look fabulous!
The constant choice between studying, socialising and sleeping leaves you puzzled. And why is it you can only have two out of the three on a single day?
You have probably made some of the best mates you will ever have in your life, so make sure you keep in touch with them this summer because your second year will start sooner than you think!
Cooking with leftover chicken not only reduces food wastage, but it can be a great way to eat healthily and on a budget. You can usually buy a whole chicken for less than £5 from most supermarkets, and if you plan your meals it could be enough to feed you for the whole week! Here are some great recipes which will make sure you get the most out of your leftover chicken:
It comes as no surprise that taking a packed lunch to uni can help reduce your food costs and what better thing to take than a chicken sandwich! Why not add some bacon to give it some extra flavour. Here is a recipe from Tesco Real Food.
A stir-fry is a really quick and easy dish to make. By using left over chicken, you can make a filling and healthy meal in under 10 minutes! Try this recipe from Good to Know.
Pasta is another cheap meal to cook. With the average 500g bag costing around 60p and the use your left over chicken, you can easily create a flavoursome and filling meal. Try making your own sauce with this recipe from Good Food.
There is nothing more satisfying than a delicious and warming pie on a rainy April evening and this recipe from The Hairy Bikers will do just that but in half the time and money … you guessed it, it's with leftover chicken!
This recipe from My Recipes only uses 4 ingredients and could be a really quick and tasty snack. It's so simple, you could try and make mini Quesadilla's for you and your friends at a party!

It's not really a collab, except that you guys determine what words I have to work off of
oooohhhhh... well in that case
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (It is the Hawai'i State Fish)
(Yes, it's a real word.)
And if that one is too hard, you can use this instead:
Have fun.
"The antidisestablishmentarianists were largely a floccinaucinihilipilificatious movement, and lived mostly on a stew made by occillating Humuhumunukunukuapua'a and asparagus."

There are many problems that a writer can come across when selecting a name for a character, here I hope to deal with some of the major pitfalls, and hopefully give some useful tips
~ Unique and different names are not an excuse to ignore good characterisation. Would you take these characters seriously?
Randilynia McDanovich
Southern. D. Wattserfield
Floyd Picasso
Ise Speranza
Nine Purple
These are all names that I came up with off the top of my head or based on words about my desk. It is not difficult to come up with a new, unique name. But that doesnt instantly make your character interesting or cool.
There is nothing wrong with an unusual name (something my parents have told me for years), but if your story is chock full of unique and different names then many established readers and writers may not take your work seriously.
I once read someone say - Exotic names are for Mills and Boon, soap operas and strippers. Whilst that may not always be true it is important to bear in mind.
* Instead return to more common, traditional or well-loved names. I am not suggesting dull names or that every name you use must be effectively the same. But think of names that people actually have.
I have two friends called Eleanor Sanders and Gregory McNair. Why are these not perfectly interesting names for characters? Or Greg Sanders and Ellie McNair?
If you intend to use a complex or made-up name then why not mix it with another simple or traditional name. I shall use myself as an example.
My parents were unusual folk and they decided to give me a unique and different name but couple that with my surname and it doesnt seem completely illogical Xancsia Caitlen Smith. An unusual name coupled with a normal surname is more likely as the first name is down to a personal choice but the last name tends to be more fixed and constant. (Caitlen was my Grandmother's name) Consider
Xancsia Smith
Keanu Walker
Savannah Jones
Mirabelle o Neil
~It may be fashionable to select a name based on its meaning and symbolism, but consider how unlikely that can be.
A names meaning whether ancient and subtle or modern and obvious can affect how a character is viewed, but remember that when a baby was born the people who named them didnt know what job or personality they would have, or what sort of situation they would end up in.
Consider these names that may suit the profession or characteristics of a person, but are also unlikely to have come about.
A nun called Chastity.
A judge called Prudence.
A politician called Honesty (or if you prefer) Caesar.
A man who commits great evils called Lucifer.
An accountant called Shylock!
*Instead, if you wish to base a name on meaning consider a more subtle and intellectual meaning.
This involves research and thought. A name based on interesting words and other names can become something of a literary in-joke to people in the know and will pass other readers over quite happily as simply an interesting name. Consider the implication of these names and situations
A librarian called Minerva.
A classicist called Scott or Alfred.
A stand-up comic called Jonathan.
A female company president called Elizabeth.
In order to gather interesting meaning and names, instead of sticking a pin in the baby name book take a look at some more unusual areas. Geography, modern foreign languages (French, German, Swahili, Russian etc), ancient languages (Latin, Greek, Gaelic), existing literature, historical names, religion, mythology and saints, flowers and plants to name but a few. I look anywhere but baby books for my character names.
~However nice you might find a name you have to make them, not only appropriate for the character, but also the context in which they were born.
The idea of context of birth can be looked at in several ways. The times in which they were born, the social situation into which they were born, the country of origin of their parents/family etc etc.
It is no good looking at the naming trends that are popular today if you are naming a character from the 1930s. True there are some names that have a timeless sort of appeal, such as John, but even then there are changes and trends that affect traditional names
Traditional John, Rose, Christopher, Agnes, Dorothy, Graham, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret, Thomas
Contemporary Jon, Lilly, Kris, Natalie, Rae, Kyle, Chloe, Rosie, Steve, Dave
Social Context
Consider a child, raised by nuns or in a deeply religious upbringing, it is highly likely that their name will have some biblical connotations such as Peter, Mary or Hannah.
Or if your character was born the son of nobility might they not have some name with an air of grandeur Sebastian, Felicity or Camilla (note, that is less the case for a child born in modern times as there is less of a social divide.)
It is also staggeringly important to consider the nationality of a character. It is all very well and good to say you enjoy names from other countries, and nowadays parents have the option of selecting names from any country without fear of being too out of place. But say you have a character that lives in 16th century London. What are the chances that they will be named Akira or Parvati? If you wish to consider a slightly French upbringing then why not name your character Fleur or Giselle? But do not randomly select a name from another culture unless you have considered what that may mean to your plot.
Naming for specific genres: Fantasy
~A Fantasy character does not have to have an utterly bizarre and implausible name.
When writing for fantasy feel free to absolutely ignore many of my previous rules (or adapt them to suit your needs). This is because many fantasy writers alter or totally make up their own character names. However this does not give you the right to completely disregard the conventions of sensible naming practices. A fantasy name, does not have to be fantastical.
The best way to explain this is to list below some names of characters from fantasy stories I have personally enjoyed to show you that you dont need a detailed pronunciation guide and a ton of back story to explain why a name is effective, (and none of these were recognised by my spell checker)
Yavanna Kementari
Captain Damed
Ganoes Parran
Naming for specific genres: Sci-Fi
~Remember that much of Sci-Fi can be set in this time and world, or in the future of our world name accordingly.
Just because it is Sci-Fi does not mean that you automatically go for the X and Z keys. Zxalizx is not a sensible name, no matter how far in the future you go. It is here that I would like to reference back to what I said about traditional and modern names. Effectively what you are doing with Sci-Fi set in the future is making an ultra modern name.
Or if this is Sci-Fi set in the present, why do you need to come up with a Sci-Fi specific name at all? remember that when a baby was born the people who named them didnt know what job or personality they would have, or what sort of situation they would end up in. this rings just as true for Sci-Fi as it does for anything else.
To illustrate my point I shall refer to the great Sci-Fi master Isaac Asimov (an interesting name in itself). Here I shall list several names from characters in his Sci-Fi short stories and hope you understand what I am getting at (none of which were flashed up by my spell checker)
Susan Calvin
Gregory Powell
Michael Donovan
Anthony Smith
Gerald Black
*If you must invent your own name for anything please think logically about your choice.
Previously I have given advice on names for Sci-Fi set in the present day, but if you do set a Sci-Fi story in the future (at whatever distance) consider evolution. It is not just plants and animals that are subject to evolution, names are too.
Names like Ann, that evolved from Hannah, Annette, Ninette, Nancy and Anushka in French, Swedish, Yiddish, Russian, Latin and any other language you care to mention, all culminating in one name, of one person, at one time. Names change and keep on changing, slipping out of fashion, mixing with other names and being forgotten altogether.
Now can you see the link between Nanette Guyonvarch a struggling house wife and seamstress from 18th century France, Anne Dorkins an IT consultant from Liverpool in the mid 90s and Hanetta Wane a neutron surfer and keen supernova photographer from Alpha Centuri, and what they may have in common?

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $750,000 to support music education for children – 210 grants in 43 states, with more on the way.
