Yeah, they're long overdue for DLC. As for Rising having MGO3...given the gameplay of Rising, while there will most probably be online, it doesn't seem feasible to be dubbed "MGO3". Hope I'm wrong, though.
Haha, well I had Alpha Roid and Gunsling since my noob days, and I play against higher levels often to practice, so it kinda affected my KDR. I made The Angelus to get a good start with my KDR (yay to noob rooms! xD). Maybe one day when my net is better, I'll catch my other characters up. Btw, The Angelus is a character from a comic called "The Darkness" (she's absent from the game, though).

I have a PS3, no idea where my PSP is (only going to search it when Peace Walker is released lol).. and that's pretty much it. I sold my PSone and DC so I could buy a PS2 fat, then I sold it to buy a PS2 slim.. And I no longer have a PS2 because the PS3 was so expensive when it was released lol My brother had a Wii, a Megadrive and a SegaSaturn, but unfortunatelly he just sold 'em =(
If you follow the pattern, it's pretty obvious that I'm going to sell my 60GB PS3 sooner or later to buy a Slim (but this time, I'll wait till there is a terrific bundle, otherwise Sony won't get mah money)
I also want to get a 360, but having to pay for Live doesn't really make me happy, and even tho I give a big importance to the Online on games, I don't have that much time to play both platforms
And that's the story of my life! Well not really... but that's all you need to know :)

(POCATELLO) – Bannock County Commissioners will meet next month to determine whether or not to waive building permit fees for victims of the Charlotte Fire.
The Idaho State Journal reports commissioners haven't finalized on a course of action yet, but officials say it's unlikely that they will.
Building permits for fire victims have cost an average of $2,200 per dwelling. Officials say they've already done enough to assist those in need, including a $2 million hydro-seeding project to preserve the burnt hillsides south of Pocatello.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution
Lockdown Feedback
Gotta say, you work fast. Been having trouble catching up with you. Anyways, good to see a little video package to start the show. More detail would have definitely helped though.
Young and Terry to start? Sounds like a boring match tbh. I would have started off with a bang. The early cage climb from Young is something I actually expected. I knew someone would do it this ppv, and Young is the perfect choice. Low blow came a little early in the match. I was also quite shocked to see Terry get busted open. Blood is significant, and I would save the blood for later, more important matches. Nonetheless, good moment in the match. Second low blow might be too much. Terry wins cleanly, but like Tenay said, I'm anxious to see what's in store for the World Elite after this.
Good moment here with Anderson and the bat. Sacrifice promo wasn't too bad. A little short for my liking though.
The best of five series between these two teams in real life has been quite entertaining. Let's see what you can do with them. Tornado tag style right? Cause I hate the way they do it sometimes, having to tag in and out despite it being a steel cage match. Action is pretty good. The back and forth nature is better for a match like this. Trading hands on the top of the steel cage? Risky. Nice spot there with Sabin nailing Storm in the end. Couldn't believe that Shelley made it to the top in time to stop Roode from leaving. Shelley leaves the ring, which has big ramifications cause Sabin's on his own. And with the fact that pins are still good. It too is risky. Roode's out not too long after. So it's not too bad. Glad to see Sabin hit the crazy crossbody instead of escaping. The beer bottle hits Storm, and MCMG win the match. Awesome sauce. Although Beer Money are the better team promo wise, we should get some great wrestling out of MCMG. Good match here. I think you should have started the show with this one.
Not too long of a promo here, but it was solid nonetheless. I liked Wolfe's rundown, but Wolfe should have said more about Angle tbh. Wolfe made this promo tbh despite having a better promo man (Flair) in the mix as well. Good job. Flair was kinda overshadowed though.
Not a fan of divas or knockout wrestling. Don't know if I told you that before, but I'll deal with this just because I like Tara. Not a long match, which is great for me =P. I'm actually quite surprised that neither Tara nor Angelina won. Don't know too much about Daffney, but I'm sure she isn't a big name so this is a 'shocker' =)
Nash and Young work better together. More chemistry I think. Interesting moment here.
I don't know about the Christopher Daniels promo here. It's a little too short to make a real difference or make an impact. Onto the match though, which should be a good one. The first spot in this one was totally awesome, and was a definite. I expect more spots like this. Moore was eliminated rather quickly. I thought they would last longer than 3 minutes considering a finisher and some scrambles shouldn't do that much damage. Tower of Doom was a good spot too, but again, a little early. Lethal gets knocked out a minute after Moore. A minute? Quite fast tbh. The huge moonsault miss (like Angle's miss during this year's LD) is absolutely crazy. Daniels is gonna feel that one. And who other to miss it on than Kaz. On a separate note, Red is doing 'amazing'. But his streak comes to an end, as expected. Angels Wings + BME might be too much, but later Red anyways. Wow @ the finish. I expect a best of like 21 series between the two. That would be awesome. Great match. It's up there with the tag title match for MOTN. Might give it to this one though.
Once again not a big promo. Kinda gets Dinero over though. This match is kind of an opposites match, much like the opener. The leg-trap crossface isn't that controversial. People should stop thinking that. Even though it didn't finish the match, I think Dinero should have pinned. It's his finisher. It should mean a pin attempt, and also should mean a confident finish. The superplex was a nice spot. Dinero's actually getting in quite a bit of offense, which although doesn't seem likely, is good to me. The cross body into Black Hole Slam was a nice spot. I think Dinero should have won the match via pin after the second finisher. The climb is nice though. Guess you're trying to change up the finishes. Not a bad match. Kinda short. No match has gone really long so far. That's probly due to the big card.
Nice to see a video package for this next one. Kennedy's promo wasn't too bad either. The Texas bit was pretty good. I noticed in most of your matches that you use a lot of slams. Powerslam, side slam, scoop slam, etc. And I just noticed that I didn't do anything but state something you already know. Both being busted open makes sense, and the action in between is pretty damn good. With the baseball bat assault, and the superplex (which has kinda happened a lot tonight), the match is really starting to pick up. 'WHY WONT YOU KICK OUT?! doesn't make any sense to me. Wouldn't Kennedy not want him to kick out? Some good action before Sting steals Anderson's move. I've always liked when people steal moves tbh. As long as it's not done too often. Brass knucks backfiring is not a bad spot. Anderson wins, but I felt like it was too quick. Or the time was too quick. Maybe a few more minutes would have been great. Match had some good moments.
If I were Beer Money, I'd invoke the rematch clauses ASAP, but at Sacrifice will do. Should be a good one.
Nice video package. And of course, the advantage goes to the heels. This match should have been the main imo. The Lethal Lockdown cage is different from the regular cage, no? So it would have been better to be last. I'm gonna skim the rest of the show because I'm literally falling asleep, but I still wanna get this done tonight. I don't think the word 'cage' should be capitalized as many times as it was. The finish is an absolutely sick spot. Creative with that one. I don't think the feud between Angle and Flair is over with the clothesline afterwards. If it was over, I think there would be no interaction between the two.
The prematch promos are alright. I don't like the idea of face versus face too much. Match is good with a good mix of aerial and technical moves. The close attempts at each wrestler's finishers is awesome. Get the fans a little more riled up that way. Hurricanrana is a nice spot. Styles pulls the referee in the way? Heel turn? F'n awesome. Styles wins, and I love it just because you did what most bookers won't do, and that's turn Styles heel.
Most of my predictions were wrong I think. But yah, overall, a solid show. There are a bunch of shocking moments, as well as creatively exceptional moments. The promos weren't too great, but it's a ppv, so I'll let it pass. I didn't like how the match order was at the start, but the show picked up afterwards. I'll try and get your Impact as soon as I can btw. I'm overly behind on my feedback =(.

Atherton opens City Social in Tower 42
Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton has opened his fifth London restaurant, City Social, on the 24th floor of the City's second tallest skyscraper, Tower 42.
Taking over the site previously occupied by Gary Rhodes, the 90-cover restaurant is headed up by Paul Walsh, the former sous chef at Gordon Ramsay's Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea.
Walsh will showcase "the best of British ingredients" in dishes like asparagus salad, pecorino, soft poached hen's egg and bone marrow crumbs; and line caught sea bass, deep fried oyster, cucumber, sea fennel and oyster velouté.
Pasta and rice dishes will also make an appearance for the first time in an Atherton restaurant.
Art deco interiors meanwhile, are the work of London's go-to restaurant designer, Russell Sage, with an open kitchen and chef's table in the middle of the room forming the focal point.
"Customers will walk into the restaurant from the lifts and will immediately see the Gherkin, The Cheesegrater and all those iconic buildings that have shot up in London over the past decade in front of their eyes," Atherton enthused.
"We're thrilled to have teamed up with Jason Atherton at Tower 42. The opening marks an exciting time for the City of London and its thriving food scene," Andy Harris, managing director of Restaurant Associates, said.
City Social also boasts an 85-seater bar serving prohibition era cocktails devised by Atherton's group bar manager, Gareth Evans, with Bourbon given top billing.
Among the cocktails on pour will be "99 Problems But a Birch Ain't One", which blends Somerset Royal 3 year old cider brandy, birch syrup, lemon juice, mandarin and a birch taffy lollipop.
City Social takes Atherton's London restaurant tally to five. The restless chef already runs Pollen Street Social in Mayfair and Social Eating House in Soho, both of which have Michelin stars, along with bistro Little Social and Berners Tavern at the London Edition Hotel.
In addition, Atherton has backed his protégé Lee Westcott to run the Typing Room at the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green on the former site of Viajante.
A profile of Lee Westcott and the Typing Room will appear in the May issue of The Drinks Business, out next week.

Publicitas China Media Forum
London, 11th October 2012
In response to growing market demand, NewBase Ltd. organised its first China Media Forum. This was an exciting opportunity to listen to, and engage with prominent Chinese media owners and global consumer brands, who elucidated how best to understand the rapidly evolving Chinese consumer group: its patterns, preferences, and consumer spending habits. Our audience learned how best to communicate to this key consumer group as we demystified the major issues that brands and advertisers face when entering the Chinese market.
China is on the mind of every marketing executive. With its population of 1.34 billion and remarkably diverse ethnic groups at various stages of economic development, media planning in China can be a minefield.
China is a huge economic power, reporting a growth of 9.2% in 2011. Likewise China's advertising industry is growing rapidly and the market is becoming more fragmented. It is imperative that when planning and buying advertising campaigns in China we learn about the culture and society in order to maximise the potential of advertising campaign.

Robert Pearce, the co-founder and former chairman of Gladstone Pacific Nickel, in which mining magnate
Mr Pearce, who currently owns 16.5 per cent of Gladstone, is also suing Mr Palmer in the NSW Supreme Court in a claim that alleges Mr Palmer breached his duties as a director of Gladstone by having his private companies buy Yabulu from BHP Billiton, rather than making Gladstone the buyer. That claim could be worth up to $500 million.
Gladstone Pacific Nickel is seeking to build a nickel and cobalt refinery at the Gladstone State Development Area (GSDA) in Central Queensland, according to the company's website.
Gladstone is proposing an 11 for one non-renounceable rights issue at $0.08 per share, issuing approximately 780 million shares to raise approximately $62.4 million, according to a prospectus lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on August 12. The rights issue was due to open on Monday. But last Friday, Gladstone said ASIC had extended the opening date so the prospectus and relevant forms would not be dispatched before Monday of next week.
The Takeovers Panel said on Monday that Robash Pty Ltd, which owns some of Mr Pearce's Gladstone stake and has also brought the NSW Supreme Court action, had asked it to stop Gladstone from issuing the prospectus until ruling on the application, and to prevent the rights issue from proceeding and require Gladstone to return any money received under the rights issue.
Mr Palmer is also engaged in a bizarre takeover offer for the 45 per cent of Gladstone Pacific Nickel he doesn't own, including Mr Pearce's stake. Mr Palmer is offering 5¢ a share for shares that the independent expert says are valued between 60.6¢ and $1.27.
In June, Mr Palmer failed to float his company Resourcehouse in Hong Kong.
Mr Pearce, and other directors, left the Gladstone Pacific board when Mr Palmer bought it in 2007.
According to the prospectus the $62.4 million raised in the rights issue would be used to fund operating costs; meet anticipated legal costs arising out of legal disputes; undertake a drilling program to confirm and delineate mineral resources at its Marlborough deposit; fund the cost of acquisition of additional resources of nickel, including additional exploration costs; review and update the feasibility study for its Gladstone project; and to fund its obligations under a proposed contractual variation for the purchase of land for the project from the Queensland government.
But Robash alleges the rights issue constitutes unacceptable circumstances. The shareholder is alleging:
• the offer ratio is punitive;
• there has been no attempt to mitigate the effect of the offer on shareholders who do not participate in the rights issue;
• shareholders have not been adequately informed of the identity of persons who propose to acquire a substantial interest in Gladstone;
• shareholders other than Mr Palmer are unlikely to have an equal opportunity to participate in the rights issue due to its ratio and pricing and;
• an inappropriate procedure is being followed as a preliminary to compulsory acquisition of voting shares in Gladstone.
The panel said it had not yet appointed a panel and had not made a decision on whether to conduct proceedings.

For more than a decade BHP Billiton has been the must have stock in a portfolio thanks to its diversified range of mining and energy assets that allowed it to exploit the strongest commodities cycle in three decades.
It led to the market maxim that "whatever was good for BHP Billiton was good for the local sharemarket".
But long gone are the days of counting the money after just digging up stuff, whacking it on a train to a port and shipping it across the oceans to customers in Asia.
Breaking up might be hard to do, but the alternative for investors was being mediocre and having too many different businesses to manage.
In the words of Citigroup, investors are now left with a choice between the new company "with high leverage to commodity cycles versus a company with more stable earnings, margins, and cash flows where the latter could be at a disadvantage in up-cycle".
Citigroup analyst Clarke Wilkins added that "somewhat ironically we expect strong earnings growth from non-core
These businesses, once run by engineers, are now run by business people and in the medium term the shares of the spinoff could be good buying.
In theory, BHP Billiton itself will also be a leaner, meaner outfit although both will be hampered by the uncertain outlook for commodity prices.
BHP will now be able to concentrate on its major assets that accounted for around 90 per cent of its earnings before interest and tax in the 2013-14 financial year but represented closer to 40 per cent of the company's net operating assets.
While achieving $US2.9 billion of productivity gains in 2013-14, the company is aiming for another $US3.5 billion of improvements in this area so it's a case of all hands on deck. Being able to concentrate on its core assets will no doubt help.
Perhaps one problem for BHP investors is a lot of this news is already in the price.
For sure, there might have been some share selling from disgruntled London-based holders who are a bit miffed the new company won't be listed there, but not long after all the talk of a demerger surfaced earlier this year, the share price jumped more than $1.
The real question was why. BHP is already owned by its shareholders as a single company. Why should it be worth more if split in two?
Some of Wednesday's selling might have been unwinding that "premium". The problem for shareholders in BHP is the stock seems to be fairly valued right now if the broker recommendations are anything to go by. Most have a "neutral" rating on the company.
And then of course the issue of dividends is never far away. Some investors would have been disappointed that there was no capital management announcement with this result.
BHP Billiton is still finding ways to bolster its balance sheet before returning any excess cash.
But BHP intends to maintain or increase its ordinary dividend post the demerger, so payout ratios should increase although investors in the spinoff company might have to rely on a good year to see a dividend.
The lure for investors in the spinoff is that if these assets are viewed as underperforming or sub par, they might be capable of better results if well managed. Hanging on for the ride might be the best option.

Lobos 7th at MW Championships; DeRoey tied for 4th
April 25, 2013
On a blustery day in the California desert, the University of New Mexico women's golf team had a rough go of it in the first round of the Mountain West Championships. The Lobos find themselves in seventh place after struggling to a 35-over 323 at the Mission Hills Country Club's Dinah Shore Course (par 72, 6,234 yards) in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The worst news is the Lobos trail first-round leader Fresno State by 17 shots entering Friday's second round. The Bulldogs are at 306. Surprising Boise State, the lowest ranked team in the eight-team field at 161st nationally, is second at 310. UNLV, the only MW school ranked in the top-50 at No. 43, is fourth at 314.
Playing at the same site as the LPGA's Kraft Nabisco Championship earlier this month, UNM had a decent showing on the front nine by making the turn in 14-over. However, the back side proved more of a challenge as the Lobos were a collective 21-over on the final nine holes. Winds were gusting up to 35 m.p.h. throughout the day.
"The conditions were difficult, but all eight teams played in it," said UNM head coach Jill Trujillo. "We've dug ourselves a pretty big hole after just one round."
Junior Manon De Roey posted the Lobos' low round of the day, a 3-over 75 (38-37). She is tied for fourth, two shots out of the lead held by Colorado State's Emily Roering (73).
UNM junior Sammi Stevens finished her round with a nightmarish seven straight bogeys en route to a 6-over 78 (35-43), tied for 13th. The 43 is her highest nine-hole score of the season.
Entering the championships with a team-best scoring average of 74.62, Stevens held the early lead after a birdie at the par-5 9th moved her to 1 under on the day.
Stevens has been the Lobos' top finisher in seven straight tournaments and has placed third in two of the past three competitions.
It was a tough day for the league's top two golfers. UNLV's Dana Finkelstein, statistically the MW's No. 1 player with a stroke average of 74.35, soared to an 81.
UNM junior Sofia Hoglund shot 84 (43-41) while senior Beth Buchner equaled her high round of the season at 86 (42-44). Freshman Ira Knopf had an 88 (42-46).

As a task force formed by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson engaged in a public relations crusade last year to develop a financing plan for a new basketball arena, its effort was funded in large part by one of the parties with whom city officials would end up negotiating: the Sacramento Kings.
That funding stemmed from an arrangement worked out by Johnson, and agreed to by the Kings, that stipulated that 10 percent of the millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships the mayor helped raise for the franchise last spring would be funneled into his Think Big committee.
None of the donations â" designated on official forms as being from the Kings to a foundation created by the mayor â" were revealed until months after negotiations between the city and the Kings owners had collapsed. That is well beyond the state deadline for local officials to report such donations, according to newly released documents filed with the Sacramento city clerk. As a result, the state Fair Political Practices Commission is examining Johnson's network of nonprofits.
Those nonprofits, including Think Big, operate under an umbrella organization founded by Johnson called the Sacramento Public Policy Foundation. Since 2010, the group has raised more than $1.3 million in donations known as "behests," records show.
Since first running for office in 2008, Johnson has shown he is capable of raising money at levels never seen before in Sacramento city politics. That fundraising prowess has extended to his network of nonprofits dedicated to the arts, green technology and homelessness, all of which operate outside the traditional City Hall framework.
Other Sacramento council members also use behests to fund nonprofit organizations, and the practice has long been in place at the state Capitol. Johnson's fundraising, however, dwarfs similar efforts at City Hall.
The largest benefactor of Johnson's fundraising over the past 15 months has been his arena task force, records show. And the biggest supporter of that cause has been the Sacramento Kings.
Between June 2011 and March 2012, the Kings made $379,923 in donations to the Sacramento Public Policy Foundation, according to documents filed with the Sacramento city clerk. All of that money went to Think Big, officials with the task force said.
The money represented a cut of the $10 million in corporate sponsorships Johnson helped raise in spring 2011 to keep the Kings in town. Some companies made their payments directly to the mayor's arena task force, while others paid the Kings the full share of their sponsorship deals and agreed to have the franchise transfer a 10 percent cut to Think Big, according to team and task force officials.
The Kings organization then made donations to the mayor's foundation in the form of behests, according to city clerk records. Johnson's name appears in the records as the elected officer overseeing every behest made by the Kings.
Funding raises questions
The behests were made as Johnson led the charge for a new arena.
A tentative agreement on an arena financing plan was reached in February, with the Kings initially agreeing to contribute $73 million toward the project in the form of loans and gifts from the NBA. The city, in turn, was poised to contribute more than $250 million by leveraging its downtown parking operations.
The deal eventually collapsed after the Kings backed out, citing dissatisfaction with the terms of the deal and questioning the city's projections for how much revenue a downtown arena would generate.
Johnson and city officials have refused to renegotiate, contending the projections were accurate and the terms fair for both the city and the Kings.
Derek Cressman, the Western regional director for Common Cause and a candidate for the city's elected charter commission, said the donations from the Kings create the perception there was "an important public policy decision that was unfortunately somewhat beholden to the interest that has the most to gain or lose."
"On the one hand, the mayor has this project he thinks is good for the city and a lot of voters agree with him," Cressman said. "The concern and the flip side is when those worthwhile projects are getting funded by an entity that has a huge financial stake in the city's decision and the mayor's decision. Does that alter the decision-making process? The risk is that it does."
The Bee asked the mayor's office whether the arrangement presented a conflict for Johnson. The mayor's spokesman, Joaquin McPeek, said the mayor was in Charlotte, N.C., attending the Democratic National Convention and unavailable for comment.
Kunal Merchant, the mayor's chief of staff when the behests were made and now executive director of Think Big, said in an emailed statement that the arena task force "protected taxpayers, maximized public participation and put the city's best interests first."
"Think Big is proud of the broad range of supporters who have rallied behind our singular focus on bringing jobs and economic development to Sacramento," he wrote.
While the deal was being crafted, Think Big spent its money developing reports on the economic impact of a new arena and public meetings on the project. Its executive director, political consultant Chris Lehane, helped guide the city during arena financing negotiations in Orlando, Fla., in February.
Chris Clark, a Kings spokesman, said the team made its donations at the direction of its corporate sponsors. "We received letters from certain sponsors directing 10 percent of the funds be allocated to fund SPPF (the Public Policy Foundation) and we acted accordingly," Clark said.
Filing deadlines missed
At least two companies refused to have their sponsorship deals fund Think Big. One of those was Thunder Valley Casino, which provided one of the Kings' largest sponsorships at $1 million.
"The commitment that the tribe (that operates Thunder Valley) made was for an advertising sponsorship arrangement for Thunder Valley to have a prominent place in Power Balance Pavilion," said Doug Elmets, a spokesman for the casino. "We were not interested in funding a consultant-driven effort to fund studies about the potential for a new arena."
Many companies did agree to the terms. The supporters included some of the region's largest corporations, such as Sleep Train Mattress Centers, which is in negotiations with the Kings over a naming rights deal for the existing arena; vision health care provider VSP; and Western Health Advantage.
Alex Sigua, a spokesman for VSP, said the company "remains committed to supporting the Sacramento region and doing what we can to create a world-class region with world-class amenities."
The behests from the Kings are being examined by the FPPC, after The Bee raised questions about whether they were reported in a timely fashion. The donations were filed with the city clerk well after the 30-day reporting deadline outlined by state regulations.
Four of the donations were reported on Aug. 23, even though the mayor received them in the summer of 2011, according to city records. A fifth, filed in July, had been made in March, records show.
Merchant said the late filings were due to a "clerical error" that was discovered as the Public Policy Foundation was wrapping up its 2011 tax documents.
Robert Stern, president of the Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles, said the funding arrangement did not create a direct conflict of interest for the mayor because Johnson did not personally benefit from the team's donations. However, he said, "any time money is being transferred to a task force he set up, he's benefiting politically."
"Clearly that gives him more power," Stern said. "It doesn't mean it's a conflict of interest. It just shows he has clout."

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Pregnant women with asthma who eat oily fish, such as salmon or trout, may help protect their children against developing asthma, according to a study presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference in Orlando on May 25. The study also found that children whose mother ate fish sticks during pregnancy may be at increased risk of developing asthma.
The study found that children whose mothers ate fish sticks during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop asthma, whether or not their mothers had asthma themselves. "Fish sticks are deep-fried, and they contain omega-6 fatty acids, which encourage inflammation of the airways," said study co-author Frank Gilliland, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "Oily fish contain omega-3 fatty acids, which appear to be anti-inflammatory, and lead to the reduced potential for developing asthma and allergies."
The study found that children whose mothers with asthma ate oily fish during pregnancy were 71% less likely to develop asthma on average; the more oily fish a woman ate, the less likely her child was to develop asthma.
Children with non-asthmatic mothers did not benefit from having their mother eat oily fish during pregnancy
"A family history of asthma is a very strong risk factor for a child developing asthma," Dr. Gilliland said. "It appears that oily fish interacts with the genes involved in the predisposition to develop asthma, and somehow reduces the risk."
The children in the study were selected from the Children's Health Study, a population-based study of school-aged children in 12 Southern California communities. One group of children had physician-diagnosed asthma by age 5, and the other group was asthma-free when the study started. The children's mothers were interviewed about their diet and other environmental exposures during pregnancy.
"We are learning more and more about the importance of fetal exposure to different substances, and how this affects the programming of the baby's immune system," Dr. Gilliland said.

I realized recently that I don't always come off as especially grateful when I talk about my life as a new mom. And that's a shame. Because even though, yes, I wouldn't know a good night's sleep if it woke me up at 3 am and started crying and trying to suck on my nipple, and despite a newfound style that might best be described as "derelict Proactiv commercial," I have a lot going for me.
I've even been working on setting a few personal records in the skills department. Such as:

When my husband takes his sweet time in the john, I like to remind him that I do not have that luxury. "Do you KNOW how long it takes me to poop?" I ask witheringly. "19 seconds. I shit faster than Carl Lewis sprints 200 meters at the Olympics. He won the gold medal, and I win hemorrhoids."
That last one is definitely going on my resume. I mean, what employer wouldn't love a new hire who will use less than .001% of her work day on bathroom breaks?

Replacement Meter Panel
First off, I read thru quite a few messages on this board, and I am REALLY
impressed by the knowledge and helpfulness. By far, this seems to be the
BEST board out there for information, which reflects directly back on the
OK - now for my dilemma.
I currently have an older 200AMP meter panel with 24 breaker slots and the
following circuits.

I need to move my meter panel in order to complete a patio remodel.
The plan is to relocate the panel to the new location and install a large
junction box on the interior wall of the house, opposite of the existing
panel. Then run new home runs from the new panel to the junction box and
splice into the existing home runs.
The problem I have is that I cannot locate a 200 amp exterior panel with
enough circuits - the largest 200 amp panel I can find is a 20 slot panel with 40 circuits. (CH MBE2040B200BTS)
I currently have 36 circuits and need capacity for the patio BBQ and lights (20A), patio refer and disposal (20A), landscape lighting (15A), spa (50A)
Doing the math, I come up 1 circuit short.
What I was contemplating doing is mounting an additional sub panel, next to
the new main panel, then installing a 100A breaker in the new panel to feed
the sub-panel (the sub panel has 12 slots for 24 double breakers).
My plan was to punch a pair 2" holes in the sides of both panels (one near
thetop and one near the bottom) and run the sub-feed wires thru the top
holes and run the home-runs from the sub-panel back into the main panel and
then into the conduit already in place at the bottom of the main panel.
I'm assuming that if I use waterproof conduit between the two panels that I
will meet code. My question is, which circuits should I keep in the main
panel and which circuits should I feed from the sub-panel? Or can I even do
I live in the great state of California, Sacramento County to be exact.
It's key that I be able to knock out 2" holes in the side of each box, as I have limited space on top of the new meter and I don't want to route conduit out of the bottom of the new panel either.
this is NOT a subject that any size of reply would be sufficient
Since you do not state your level of skill aqnd experience in this trade
I must assume a couple of things . . .and perhaps yuo will find this useful
* you have NOT done your math . . .please consult an electrician to get
an actual amount of load ...both existing and proposed before you do
anything . . . .you are assuming that you will NOT need , in fact larger
service delivered to handle the total load
* please let me suggest that you have an professional do this . .this is
NOT DIY level work . .get a permit..get inspections
* have the inspector come out . .FIRST . .DISCUSS what you have in
mind . .how he wants to stage the inspections
panel change....multiple splices . . . .conduit work . . .SPA ...load calcs
there is naught to gain by possible lethal shock hazards associated
with mistakes in any one of the areas you intend to alter or add
but a great deal to lose . .please think about this quite a bit more
this is not DIY work by any stretch of the imagination
Leonard, Please don't take this any way other than constructive critisism.
This is pretty common on this website. People will be planning a kitchen remodel, or adding a hot tub, or in your case a new patio (which i'm sure isn't going to be cheap) but they NEVER factor in the final cost for an issue like this. They have no problem spending 8k on a new hot tub, but get pissed when they have to spend another 2k on electrical work to make it proper and want to DIY it to save some money. Messing with a panel change or move is not for a DIY'er as kingsmurf stated.
I am a fairly advanced DIY'er (by no means pro) and this is something that I would absolutly not undertake alone... possibly under direct supervision of someone who IS a pro.
Seriously, this is a BIG job.
What is your level of electrical experience?
The reason you can't find a panel with more breakers is because the code limits the maximum breakers in a panel to 40. Until your region moves to the 2008 code you are stuck. If you need more circuits then you need a sub panel.
In your list I see 2 spares. You can use the spares for 120 volt or 240 circuit. If you need 240 volts you can move breakers to get 2 open spots for a 2 pole breaker. With two spares listed, why upgrade now? You have enough space for a good bit of power. You can use as many breakers suitable/allowable for your panel to the limit.
If you need more than two slots, why not just install a sub panel near your patio. Then you can have all the circuits you need. Then contact this forum for safely installing the sub panel.
Ps....The spare slots will be used for the sub panel feeders.
how about 42 circuits pre '08. ('05 408.35)
leonard, I'm curious what the 2 pole 30 amp in the garage is.
The Home Depots in AZ have 40 space Seimans, Cutlar Hammer and Homeline all in one panel/meter combos.
The issue you will run into is derating your conductors if you run them in a single conduit from the new location to the old one. If there is attic/crawl space, we would run romex from the new panel to the jbox at the old location.
If not, you have to limit the number of current carrying conductors in (depending on local interpetation) or up size them according to some table somewhere.
Seimans 40 space meter/panel combo (copper bus)
Cutler Hammer
I have a permit and plans. The goof at the permit counter reviewed the plans and approved them. The original plan was to use a Ranch Panel at the side of the house (with a meter) , then run #2ODD wire from the meter to a new breaker box. The inspector said the plan to put the breaker box in a closet did not pass code and told me to take it out. He also said the guy at the counter should not have approved the plans - my loss. Anyone interested in 75' of 2ODD wire and a brand new ranch panel?
He did give me permission to gut the breaker box and use it as a JBOX as long as I screwed the door closed.
I am NOT increasing the the existing load - I'm guessing (and will confirm) that the spares are not really spares and I'm guessing there are a few extra home runs in the wall and in the panel that are unused (previous home owner had some electrical work done).
Sacramento county had to reduce their staff by 12 inspectors. I can't get an inspector to answer a phone or return a call, much less come out to the house. They have been here twice already and threatened to charge me $175 for more trips out to the house.
I had two bids to replace the panel and to bury the service line - $6500 and $5700. I am into this job for a little over $1500, which includes 3 panels, wire, conduit, breakers, trencher rental.
I am capable of doing the work and making the calculations and want to do this right. I'm not trying to cut corners or get "past inspections". I just don't know what is expected and when the plan check guy that approves your plans is not on the same page as the inspector, I get a little pissed off, but you cannot upset those guys, otherwise they will critique every little item.
Again - I will check the spares tonight and report.
again...I never mean any inference that a poster does or does NOT have experience . .I can only make genral assumptions based on the original posts
that being said
* it seemed that you were adding a SPA / bbq/ lighting loads etc
. . did I misunderstand / are those already on site and powered up?
* just curious . . .when I am requested to add load to an existing
rather full service . . .I really do a dilligent load test . . .reading the
panel mains . . .or breaker hots if I cant get clamp on feeders . . .
and have the home owner really power the place up . .and note how
close that is to about 70% of max service available . . . then pondering
which appliances/ circuits are going to have an inrush number . .I
make some recommendations
* I was curious if you have done this . .if so what did you obtain
for readings ?
I am by no means an expert and I don't know the code by heart, but I have done this before and I do 99% of my own home projects. Being a mechanic, I have a natural aptitude for fixing things. Had it been $2500, I would have wrote the check in a heartbeat. I have an electrician coming out tomorrow to take a look at things and either offer some advice or wrap it up for me.
I have a fluke meter with an inductive amp probe that will give me a decent reading. So are you saying I should turn everything in the house on, then check the amps thru each main feed?
I do not have the patio installed yet. Another reason for moving the panel is that it is smack dab in the middle of the wall where I plan on hanging a flat screen and the feed line would have to drape over the patio cover - something that is a no-no in my book, plus it won't pass code..
The patio will have:
1 ceiling fan, without a light fixture
4-6 60 way lights
Either rope lighting or some tiki lanterns
TV, DVD and small surround sound amp/receiver
plugs on BBQ island for rotisserie and blender
Garbage disposal in island sink
small refer
I see it taking:
20 A circuit for lighting and fan
20 A circuit for blender, refer, rotisserie and disposal
20 A circuit for TV, AMP and extra plugs
I might end up installing an exhaust fan (range hood) for the BBQ, but I'm not certain just yet.
That leaves me needing 1 20A circuit for a plug at the rear of the property for low voltage lighting (60' from panel to outlet)
and a spa circuit (I'm guessing that's a 50 amp circuit).
The countsy said I could bundle them to gether in the conduit as long as I kept the length of conduit less than 10', which I did.
Below is the original drawing the county approved:

Heat Sign Jerry Stackhouse, Waive Beverley and Butler
A freak injury to the right thumb of Mike Miller is expected to keep one of the NBA's top three-point shooters sidelined for an extended period of time.
Miller fractured a bone and tore a ligament when the thumb on his shooting hand got tangled in a teammate's jersey during a post drill at practice last Wednesday. He underwent surgery Friday to repair the damage. He will remain in a cast for four weeks, then move to a brace for several more weeks, then prepare once again for the start of the season. The Heat don't expect him back on the court before January.
Pat Riley met with Erik Spoelstra and other team officials about options on dealing with the injury. They chose Jerry Stackhouse, on a one-year fully unguaranteed minimum salary contract, for temporary relief. It is the wrong move.
Stackhouse won't rock the boat, won't bring drama, and will bring a high caliber of veteran leadership. But let's be clear — this team does not need more veteran leadership. James, Wade and Bosh provide plenty of that. It needs an injection of youth and athleticism. It needs to develop for the future. It needs to identify players with the type of floor-spacing shooting stroke that it has just lost. It needs to find tough, quick defenders.
Stackhouse is none of those things. He is old (he turns 36 next month). He is working on wonky knees. He is a glaring defensive liability on a team that puts a premium on it. He is a man no longer capable of providing any of the offensive value he once did. And he has never been a good three-point shooter (31% for his career). He provides nothing this team needs.
He is nothing more than a sub-optimal stand-in for Miller. But when Miller gets healthy, he's gone. Why sign someone who has no chance of being a member of the Heat come playoff time? Why sign someone who has no chance to be a part of the Heat's future? Why eat up a valuable roster spot on such a player?
With the Stackhouse addition, the Heat roster stood at 17. The team had until 6 p.m. today to get its roster to the regular-season limit of 15 as they prepared for tomorrow's season opener against Boston. Beverley and Butler were the final two cuts.
Beverley and Butler were both competing for the Stackhouse spot. They had a real shot at being a big part of the Heat's future. Danny Green was a better option than both of them.
In an alternate universe, all three could have been retained. In an alternate universe, the Heat could have kept Beverley as its potential point guard of the future (by waiving Magloire), Green as its potential shooting guard of the future (by passing on Stackhouse), and Butler as its potential small forward of the future (by waiving Howard). That's a quality developmental backcourt. Read more…

Will gmc headlights and bumperlights fit on my chevy with a gmc grill on it?
You already have the GMC grille, and want to add the lights? Or you're getting the whole thing, and want to know if it'll bolt right in?
I believe that the grille and headlights have all the same mounting points to the core support, and the parking lights mount to the grille - but I don't remember if GMC and Chevy parking lights are different.
Hope this helps.
I just bought a grill and corner lights but i dont know if the headlights and bumper lights will fit the grill and truck also. I havent bought headlights or bumper lights yet im just wondering if gmc ones will fit on my chevy with a gmc grill.

There is a nice review by Vincent Laforet, Does size really matter? Debating the 12 - Inch vs. 15 - Inch PowerBook.
In addition to his points, do I need to carry a large screen around? There's comes the considerations.
Basically, PowerBook 15 inch provides better (brighter) display in addition to work space. the ratio is 5:3.
The PowerBook 12 has standard screen ratio 4:3, slightly dimmer, but comes with all the gadgets except the gigabit ethernet, FW800, PCMCIA card slot, smaller maximum RAM size and less memory in video card.
For real professionals, they carry 17" PowerBook with external FireWire drives. They use 22 megapixel digital cameras. (Steve Kalalian - Digital Imagiing on Steroids)
For film makers, they definitely need 15" or 17" PowerBooks.
For rest of us, a laptop should be easy to carry. PowerBook 12" is still the most compact, full feature laptop notebook around. Unless you are able to carry the 17" around, or you want to use it as desktop replacement... I would opt out that option. Between 15" and 12", it's a bit harder to decide, when the weight is not much lighter in 12" (compared to 15").
My recommendation, unless you really need to work in larger screen. Go for 12", make your life easier and you will sure be able to carry it around a lot easier. It's a laptop, make it portable!

Date of Stay: July, 2006
This is the most useless situation I have even come across. You pay to camp on the Animas River but you are not allowed to fish in the river in the camp area nor is anyone allowed to play in or near the river. And, to boot, the customer service is terrible.
Date of Stay: November, 2005
The previous reviewer and I must have been staying in 2 different parks. First of all, there is indeed no shade. There is no shade anywhere in this area of Texas, and especially so on a beach area. Get over it. You want trees, go to Tennessee. You want beach, come here. Second, there was no road noise. The park is set back from the road and the big rig area is even farther back, near the beach. And, the traffic in November is not heavy. Neither my wife nor I heard any road noise, day or night, and we are sensitive to that. Third, the beach is a short walk over a very nice boardwalk across the dunes. The boardwalk is wide, lighted at night, and very well maintained by the owners of the park. Now, as to the park itself. My wife is disabled, so that is something we are very conscious of when it comes to evaluating a park. Pioneer rates high in that category. The showers are in enclosed rooms and very private and include a toilet. We just wish there were more than 2. That did make for waiting at times, unless you wanted to walk to the other building. The park was absolutely level with concrete pads and each site had a good grassy area (which our dog liked). It was very easy for handicap access and my wife was able to get to the beach in her scooter for the first time in years over the boardwalk. The park was very clean and there was little noise. The pool was large and clean. There is a small store on site for the necessaries (milk, soda, etc). On Sundays there is a pancake breakfast which is ok. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Grass is mowed regularly and garbage is picked up daily by park staff at your site. We were not crowded, but then it was not that time of year. Even so, the sites are wide enough so no one should feel hemmed in. One caveat: if you have dogs, watch out for walking them in grass areas surrounding the park as there are scads of cockleburrs to get in the fur and pads. WiFi access was good. As was cell phone reception. Check in and out was easy. The town of Port Aransas was a short 3 miles away. Close enough to get food or other supplies, go for take out barbeque (some of the best I've ever had) or seafood, as well as bait or fishing equipment; and yet far enough so it was not intrusive. A shuttle bus to and from town runs all day long. Fishing was very good right in the surf at the end of the boardwalk. Overall, highly recommended and we plan to return.

Arysta LifeScience North America, recently launched its Xonerate Herbicide application for the iPad in the Apple App Store. Arysta LifeScience developed the app to help golf course superintendents and lawncare operators in the usage of Xonerate, which eliminates Poa annua. Users can search "Xonerate" in the App Store to find the new app.
"Having the Xonerate app available via the App Store expands our reach, making it even more convenient for our customers to use immediately," said Michael Maravich, turf & ornamental marketing and product manager for Arysta LifeScience. "The app contains content and visuals to help identify Poa annua, along with treatment options when using Xonerate. It also includes an example of the cost of Poa annua on a golf course and the cost savings of using Xonerate over untreated options."
Originally designed as a sales tool, the Xonerate application gained interest from superintendents and sports turf managers as a tool to help with application timing and related turf management needs. Research shows Xonerate to be 90 percent effective in controlling Poa annua, more than any other current product on the market. It also provides great application flexibility for users.
The app demonstrates the value of Xonerate and its usage in fighting Poa annua, including a section with tools for superintendents and sports turf managers to utilize in sharing product information with greens committees. It also features trial data and testimonials not available on the Xonerate website.
"We realized the need for an easy-to-use, visual and portable method of speaking to the issues of Poa annua amongst our key Xonerate users – golf course superintendents and lawncare operators," Maravich added. "Xonerate is an effective treatment to eliminate Poa annua, and Arysta LifeScience is helping many industry professionals do just that to this troublesome weed."

Nearly 1,000 injured as meteor falls in Russia
The sonic blast from the hurtling space rock shattered countless windows and deeply frightened thousands.
Moscow: A Russian health official says nearly 1,000 people have sought help for injuries after a meteor streaked through the sky and exploded Friday over Russia's Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb. The sonic blast from the hurtling space rock shattered countless windows and deeply frightened thousands, with some elderly women declaring the world was coming to an end.
The meteor - estimated to be about 10 tons - entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 33,000 mph and shattered about 18-32 miles above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement. It released the energy of several kilotons above the Chelyabinsk region, the academy said.
Chelyabinsk health chief Marina Moskvicheva, said Friday that 985 people in her city had asked for medical assistance. The Interfax news agency quoted her as saying 43 were hospitalized. Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky about 9:20 am local time, just after sunrise, leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash.
"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people's houses to check if they were OK," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, a city of 1 million about 930 miles east of Moscow. "We saw a big burst of light, then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
The explosions broke more than 1 million square feet of glass, city officials said. It was not immediately clear if any people were struck by space fragments. Another Chelyabinsk resident, Valya Kazakov, said some elderly women in his neighborhood started crying out that the world was ending.
City officials said 3,000 buildings in the city were damaged by the shock wave, including a zinc factory where part of the roof collapsed. Small pieces of space debris - usually parts of comets or asteroids - that are on a collision course with the Earth are called meteoroids. They become meteors when they enter the Earth's atmosphere. Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere, but if they survive the frictional heating and strike the surface of the Earth they are called meteorites.
Meteors typically cause sizeable sonic booms when they enter the atmosphere because they are traveling much faster than the speed of sound. Injuries on the scale reported Friday, however, are extraordinarily rare. The meteor hit less than a day before the asteroid 2012 DA14 is to make the closest recorded pass of an asteroid to the Earth - about 17,150 miles. But the European Space Agency in a tweet said its experts had determined there was no connection.
Some fragments fell in a reservoir outside the town of Cherbakul, the regional governor's office said, according to the ITAR-Tass. A 20-foot-wide crater was found in the same area, which could come from space fragments striking the ground, the news agency cited military spokesman Yaroslavl Roshchupkin as saying.
