Ben Askren Has a Message for Nate Marquardt: Bring It
It all started with Nate Marquardt discussing his hormone replacement therapy and explaining why he was pulled from the UFC on Versus 4 card in Pittsburgh two weeks ago.
From there, a storm of responses started from fighters both supporting and decrying what Marquardt said about his low testosterone and need for treatment to return to full health.
Former UFC champion B.J. Penn voiced his disproval through Twitter, and has largely been an opponent of all performance enhancing drugs throughout his career. The other major name that took opposition to Marquardt on that day was Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren.
The former Olympian took to his Twitter account and addressed Marquardt directly writing you are a cheater, not once but frequently. Stop cheating, come to Bellator and I will crush you.
Speaking further on the subject when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio, Askren took Marquardt to task for his statement about needing testosterone therapy. He believes the former UFC middleweight contender simply isnt telling the truth about the situation.
I think its pretty clear, he failed not one, but two tests. I think it becomes very, very clear when his coach Trevor Wittman is coming out and saying things that goes against what hes doing. If your coach aint got your back, whos got your back? I think its pretty clear to me as many excuses as he makes that he was cheating and this is not the first time hes got caught, Askren said.
The worst thing about it is that he just keeps lying. Own up to it, be a man, take care of your responsibilities, you did wrong, youve got to admit to it.
The other test that Askren is speaking about is a 2005 drug test that Marquardt failed following his UFC debut fight against Ivan Salaverry. The Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended Marquardt for five months after he tested positive for banned substances.
Askren, who was a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team that has gone through stringent drug testing throughout his collegiate and Olympic career, has seen cheating go on at many MMA gyms all over the world.
Its pretty obvious. Ive been around the block. I travel a lot to gyms. I think cheating with performance enhancing drugs runs rampant in the MMA world, and Im okay with that, thats their decision, Askren stated. I wouldnt do it. I think there are long-term ramifications in your career, and the fact that theyre choosing to take the easy way out as opposed to training themselves naturally, thats also going to have an effect on them long-term, that they didnt do it themselves, that they had something helping them.
The former Missouri wrestler and NCAA All-American doesnt even mind so much that fighters are taking performance enhancing drugs as much as they wont own up to their mistakes when they get busted.
What I have a real issue with is when someone gets caught, youre supposed to be a grown man. Youre supposed to be a man and part of being a man is taking responsibility for your actions. When you get caught and you just constantly lie, and lie, and lie, its like come on dude, just own up, be a man, said Askren.
As far as his beef with Nate Marquardt, Ben Askren has a very simple solution to offer the former UFC fighter.
Bring it, Askren said to Marquardt. I want to be the best in the world and the only way to be the best in the world is to fight the people that are the best. Nate Marquardt, come on.
He cant beat wrestlers. He cant beat a good wrestler. So Ill take him down, Ill wear him out, and hopefully for the fans around the world I will submit him so they dont call me a blanket fighter.
Whether the fight actually happens or not remains to be seen, but Askren doesnt mind backing up his strong words in the cage, and hes left an open invite for Marquardt to come to Bellator and challenge him.
I really hope Marquardt signs with Bellator and Askren gets the fight he wants. Askren via decision.
Thanks to limba for this AWESOME sig

Giamatti Rebuffed Again On Hearing
By MURRAY CHASS
Published: June 29, 1989
For the second time in four days, an Ohio court yesterday blocked the baseball commissioner's effort to retain jurisdiction over the Pete Rose betting case.
The First Ohio District Court of Appeals refused to suspend the temporary restraining order a lower court granted Rose on Sunday. The court said it lacked jurisdiction to hear the commissioner's appeal.
Barring further appeal by the commissioner or success with an appeal, lawyers for Rose and A. Bartlett Giamatti will go to court next Thursday for a hearing on a preliminary injunction that, if granted, would indefinitely bar Giamatti from hearing charges that the Cincinnati manager bet on baseball games, including Reds games. No Decision on Appeal
Lawyers for the commissioner did not say immediately if they would appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court.
''We haven't decided what our next step will be,'' Francis Vincent, the deputy commissioner said. ''We'll decide in the next day or two.''
Earlier, in a statement, Vincent acknowledged that ''an appeal at this early stage was extraordinary'' but added: ''We will now pursue all other avenues available to us. Eventually we know we will get to the merits of the Rose matter.''
Louis Hoynes, the commissioner's lead lawyer in the case, noted in a statement that the court ''has ruled only on the narrow technical issue that it has no jurisdiction to hear the commissioner's appeal.''
''The judges did not take up the merits of our appeal,'' the statement said. ''It continues to be our contention that the temporary restraining order was improperly granted, and that the trial court had no authority to interfere with the ongoing processes of the commissioner, which are necessary to protect the integrity of major league baseball.''
Giamatti had been scheduled to hold a hearing Monday on the betting charges. If Rose were found to have bet on Reds games, he could be suspended for life; if on games other than the Reds', for one year.
Rose, however, sued the commissioner in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court in Cincinnati, and on Sunday, Judge Norbert A. Nadel issued a temporary restraining order, good for 14 days, and scheduled a hearing on a preliminary injunction for July 6.
Judge Nadel found that Giamatti had prejudged the case and that a hearing would be ''futile and illusory and the outcome a foregone conclusion.'' Giamatti's Argument
The commissioner appealed, arguing that Judge Nadel's ruling had damaged the integrity of baseball and would continue to do so.
''If every action by the commissioner,'' the appeal said, ''to investigate and determine matters affecting the integrity of the game were to be subject to court intervention and delay, the commissioner's ability to safeguard the integrity of the game would be destroyed.''
In replying to the motion yesterday, Rose's lawyers said it should be dismissed because a temporary order cannot be ''reviewed on appeal'' in Ohio.
Furthermore, they argued, if the court suspended the restraining order, ''Commissioner Giamatti would then proceed with the New York City hearing which the Common Pleas Court preliminarily found would be futile because of Giamatti's actual prejudgment'' of the case.
And if the court did not rule immediately, the lawyers said, the restraining order would expire and Giamatti ''will almost certainly then proceed to take disciplinary action'' against Rose.
One of the more interesting arguments raised by Rose's lawyers was that even if the lower court were found to have usurped the commissioner's powers, ''those powers can be fully vindicated and protected by an appeal after a final judgment.''
The commissioner's lawyers, fighting Rose's request for a restraining order, had argued that if Giamatti held his hearing and Rose did not think he had received a fair hearing, he could then go to court.
Assuming Judge Nadel's hearing proceeds as scheduled next week, the commissioner could properly appeal a preliminary injunction if the judge granted it.

Massive Clusters of Galaxies Defy Concepts of the Universe
Published: November 10, 1987
(Page 2 of 2)
Such a variety of observed shapes may be a problem of perspective. Like the blind man and the elephant, astronomers using different observational techniques, X-ray or radio or optical telescopes, may be describing different aspects of the same structures because of their particular points of view. But there was no doubt that they were seeing surprisingly large structures.
By the 1980's, more than ever, cosmologists strongly suspected that there was much more to the universe than met the eye, and this has sorely tested their genius for conceiving cosmic theories. One of their most popular new concepts is that of the missing mass.
Various calculations, based on an assumption that the universe is closed in a balance between energy and matter, suggests that as much as 90 percent of the universe's mass has gone undetected. This dark matter, composed of as-yet-unknown elementary particles, is assumed to exert the dominant gravity in the universe, causing the clumping of galaxies. Superclusters Cause Problems
''The hypothesis works very well to explain the formation of individual galaxies and groups of galaxies,'' said Dr. White of the University of Arizona. ''But superclusters cause us problems.''
Dr. Ostriker, who has worked these problems for years, conceded, ''As observers find structure larger and larger, it gets harder and harder to explain things theoretically.''
Telescopes with new electronic cameras enable astronomers to examine many galaxies in a single field of view, whereas it used to take them a lifetime to study a few hundred. Large dish radio antennas, as well as optical telescopes, give them glimpses of the galactic clusters shaped like bubbles. X-ray and optical telescopes provide the raw material for plotting clusters and superclusters on computer-generated maps of the sky.
Dr. Tully was searching for the edge of the Local Supercluster, the region including the Milky Way, when he became aware that the structure was much larger than previously thought. He then looked at the ''rich'' clusters farther out in space, calculating their motion and plotting their distances from each other.
Using a supercomputer, Dr. Tully constructed maps of the distribution of the clusters of galaxies as they would appear to an observer at various points in outer space. He compared their distance from each other with random spacings between clusters. He concluded that the clusters were related to each other because the probability of their occurring by chance was statistically slight.
As a result, Dr. Tully decided that about 60 of these clusters were concentrated in a single supercluster complex. He calls it the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex, after the constellations in which it is found. 'It's Lumpy'
''It was supposed that on a large scale, things in the universe are smoother and homogeneous,'' Dr. Tully said. ''My findings show that is not the case. It's lumpy. That was unanticipated.''
Dr. Tully suggested that the theory of cosmic strings ''might provide an explanation'' for what he is seeing. According to this theory, anomalies in space, called topological defects, were created in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang. These defects could provide the focuses for the accumulation of matter.
But he acknowledged that if such significant concentrations of matter existed at the moment after the Big Bang, ''they should have given rise to irregularities in the relic background radiation.''
The cluster Dr. Tully has identified is about 1 billion light-years long and 150 million light-years across. Since the universe is thought to be at least 10 billion years old, a distance of 1 billion light years represents as much as 10 percent of the expanding universe's reach.
Dr. Tully's results will be published in the Dec. 1 issue of the Astrophysical Journal. His research was supported by the National Science Foundation.

Hammonds is making up a record 15 new partners this year, following a year of turmoil at the firm that has seen 14 partners quit since January.
Many firms in the City have made up fewer lawyers than usual in this latest partnership round, but Hammonds has bucked the trend by promoting seven more partners this year than it did in 2004.
It is believed that the new partners will all join Hammonds' fixed-share equity, which was created last May to replace salaried partner status. The firm's fixed-share equity partners contribute £20,000 each to the equity, meaning the new partners will contribute a potential £300,000 in new capital to the firm.
The firm is promoting 14 assistants to partnership status in the UK and one in Germany from a range of departments and offices.
The bulk of the promotions come in London, which sees five new partners in four departments. Hammonds' Birmingham office will have four new partners, Leeds three and Manchester two. The new German partner, commercial and IP specialist Philipp Suss, is based in Munich.
The corporate department and commercial and IP team will gain the most new partners, with three assistants made up in each.
The promotions will be a boost to the firm, which last Monday (4 April) announced that 83 of its 85 equity partners had committed formally to a 15-month lock-in following several months of partner departures.
Managing partner Peter Crossley said the commitment was a positive move for Hammonds and that the firm is looking forward to an improved financial year following February's announcement of a projected slide in profits.
Meanwhile, the firm has lost its respected Birmingham head of corporate Patrick Somers to the London corporate team of Berwin Leighton Paisner.
Somers, who resigned from Hammonds in January, was one of the two equity partners at Hammonds not to sign up to the lock-in.

Facebook reports slow growth and higher costs
Facebook shares fell after the company reported slower revenue growth, while research and development costs ate into profits.
The social networking company said profit in the first quarter of 2015 was £341 million, down 20% on a year earlier.
While revenue rose 42% to £2.33 billion- that was slightly below analysts' forecasts. A bright spot was the rise in monthly active users, up 13% from a year earlier to 1.44 billion.
Notably, for those investors concerned about the firm's efforts to appeal to younger users who access Facebook on their smartphones, monthly mobile users increased by 24% to 1.25 billion, a majority of the site's users.
Facebook has been particularly adept at channelling that growing mobile user base into advertising dollars.
The company said that during the quarter, revenue from mobile ad sales made up nearly three quarters of total ad sales.
"This was a strong start to the year," said founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg in a statement.
Investors have been worried about slowing revenue growth, as well as increasing costs at the company. Facebook has been spending more on research and development as it moves beyond its original social networking operation.
Spending on research and development jumped to £377 million from £120 million a year earlier.
The company has warned that those costs are set to increase, as it looks to expand some of its acquisitions including photo-sharing site Instagram, messaging service WhatsApp, and virtual reality firm Oculus Rift.
The trends are all going in the right direction. The cost rise is one thing that can derail this story. The question is, can they keep costs under control and what will be the new revenue streams around video, Instagram and virtual reality around Oculus?

Reviews For Thoroughly Clean Face Wash - Oily & Combination Skin
Based on 19 Reviews
Awesome cleanser
I really liked the way this cleanser left my skin after using it, it was smooth and clean. Not tight and dry feeling.
- Denise
Great Cleanser!
This product works great, my face feels fresh and renewed after washing. The reason for only 4 stars, is the smell is not fantastic. But I would still definitely recommend!
- Kylie
Not What I Expected, But Still Love It
When I ordered this product, I was under the impression it would have the same consistency as soap or even lotion, but it is runny liquid and hardly thicker than water. I made it work anyway and use it on my face in the shower. I love the smell, and after rinsing, my skin is smooth and firm. If I leave it on without rinsing for more than a couple minutes, it stings a bit, but does not harm my skin.
- Danielle
Good but drying
I can only use this once a day b/c it's too drying. I alternate with another face wash and it's a great combo.
- Megan
Very drying
Five years ago, I would have loved this because my skin feels so dry after using it (since I tend to have oily skin). However, I've learned much more about skin health since then, and know that the answer to oily skin is not to remove ALL the oil. This face wash - as soon as I use it - dries my face out completely. Like, completely. If I don't moisturize within seconds, I can sense problems. However, the moisturizer that is paired with this ALSO leaves my skin dreadfully dry. So I end up adding a bit of argan or jojoba oil as well. With this added oil, I don't have a major problem with this cleanser. But I simply would not be able to use this without that step.
I've only had it for a couple weeks now, so cannot obviously attest to any true success. But I haven't noticed any further breakouts because of it (once again - as long as I'm adding additional oil).
- Kathryn
great bargain
great bargain.
does have a strong tea tree scent.
i have normal to oily skin and works great.
one small pump cleans my whole face.
- erin
Takes time for skin to adjust
The first week I used this face wash I broke out like crazy. I think it was drawing out some of the toxins in my skin, because after a week or two I have started clearing up and my skin feels less oily. It also seems to have made my skin more sensitive. When I used my old face wash it kind of burns - not in a terrible way, but like when you use a new face wash and you can feel it tingling but stronger.
- Anna
Overpowering smell
I tried this product since I am looking for more products with no chemical additives. This product cleans OK but the smell is overpowering and unpleasant. Will not be buying again.
- Lori
Pretty Good
This product is very refreshing. It is very liquidy though so you only need one pump. It does dry out the skin but that's the job for a moisturizer. It last for about 4 months if used once to twice a day.
- Farrah
I like it, however....
I really like this face wash. The scent took me a little bit to get used to because it was stronger than I was thinking it would be, but I have come to enjoy it. I feel like this really cleans my face well and it doesn't leave me feeling oily after, which is great! I would give this 5 stars, but the pump was broken, probably during shipping, so I have to take off the top, pour some into my hand, then screw the top back on every time which is a bit annoying.
- Karrie
Clear, beautiful skin!
I have combination skin - some parts are very oily, so using this product 2 to 3 times a day has worked wonders. It has an incredible aroma and has completely cleared up my complexion. Highly recommend!
- Hannah
Clear Skin!
This face wash is great! It gets rid of the oils and dirt without drying my face out keeping it from getting overly oily later on. It's great!
- N. Munez283
This face wash has a very overpowering smell. It does get my face clean, but I feel like I should be plugging my nose when I'm using it. I really do like how clear my skin is after using it though!
- BennieJ8291
Really don't care for this facial soap, the smell is really overbearing and kind of makes me sick!!
- diamond
I wouldn't recommend product
I used this face wash for about a month and it didn't work! I don't normally have acne, a few blemishes here and there but nothing to crazy, and after using this product I've had more acne on my cheeks than back in High School.
- Jamie
Pine Smell and Thin Consistency
This soap has the consistency of water (very runny) so it is hard to pump into your hands to wash your face. Also, the smell is like pine and very powerful. On a plus side, my face does feel fresh and clean when I am done.
- Kristina
Works great!
Works great, doesn't smell the best, but you get used to it. One of the best facial cleansers I have found for my over oily skin.
- meghan
Face is left clean and refreshed
I spend a lot of time testing and reviewing serums, toners, and moisturizers for companies, so at the end of the day I need a face wash I can trust. I really do trust Thoroughly Clean Face Wash. The reason, you ask? I am a firm believer in the power of tea tree oil. I add it to everything from my toothpaste to my shampoos and conditioners. I use it as an all over healer of just about anything from small cuts to dandruff and bad breath. And it really works!
So when I found this face wash on Thrive, I was super excited to try it.
I use this face wash every morning and at night before bed as well. It doesn't dry out my face or leave it oily and it rinses off easily. My skin looks instantly brighter and I have had no breakouts since using this face wash. I am so happy with my results and will definitely be buying another tube of this after it's re-stocked.

I really like it!
This is one of the least harmful face washing products to use. I really like it!

Ripoff Report would like to let readers know that Ripoff Report emailed this customer so the member business could make things right with them. When a business joins the Corporate Advocacy Program, Ripoff Report emails everyone from the past so the member business can make things right with them. Of course, everything within reason. In order to confirm that the complaints were resolved, Ripoff Report is copied on all responses so we can insure that the member business did right by their customer. The author of the Ripoff Report below never responded to our offer to help them.
The person's issue was addressed in detail in my response on the site.
I met Marco Santarelli of Norada Real Estate several years ago and I really wish I hadn't. He comes across as a nice guy but he is no different than the pick-pocket who looks you in the eye and smiles while taking the contents of your wallet. The investments that Marco encouraged me to make cost me a small fortune (over one hundred thousand dollars of losses). To get out of the horrendous deals that he put me in I had to negotiate short-sales with the banks and destroy my credit which was previously perfect.
Marco is an expert in one thing only - marketing. He know how to market his investments and products so that they look incredible. I relied on his materials because he presented a lot of information that looked very credible and he is a convincing salesman. I would advise people not to believe anything he says or writes unless it can be independently verified by a third party.
His specialty is putting together investment deals where it looks like he has done all the work in lining up builders, mortgage companies, realtors, management companies etc. In fact he is getting commissions from all of those companies and they are therefore not likely to be acting in your best interests. I was told that specifically by a builder who had to pay a fee to Marco and couldn't believe that I had also paid a fee to Marco for putting the deal together. In other words, Marco tries to take money on the front and back end of each deal!
Marco portrays himself as a real estate investment expert and even came up with a system for scoring deals called "DealGrader". Of course all of his deals have a high scoring on his own DealGrader system! Furthermore, his own real estate investments have tanked and that is probably why he was forced to rip off other investors - he needed the cash to fund his own loss making investments.
Marco's original company "360 Enterprises" went bankrupt as a result of the poor real estate investments made by him, but he was able to continue operating as Norada Real Estate by creating a new company and filing a DBA.
In summary, I can't stress strongly enough how much I would advise anyone to stay away from Norada Real Estate, Marco Santarelli or any company that he is associated with.

This is By Far Mine and My Family's Fav Movie ...We Watched It opening Night instead of Twilight and im so happy i did ,It was the First time my almost 2 year old had ever been to the Movies and My husband thought for Sure she would throw a fit ...To his surprise she sat the whole time just watching ...all she talks about is happy feet she even does the dance for everyone :-) ...she also picked out her own 2nd birthday deco.. and it was Happy Feet two ...My 4 year old and 5 year old loved the movie as well and continue to ask me can we buy it yet ...why this movie got bad reviews i dont know
I took my five year old son to the theater to see it and he really liked it. I thought it was a lot better than the first one and will definitely be purchasing when it's released!
The first was an ok, enjoyable film, however, i was VERY dissatisfied with this one. the story follows a tragic event where the penguins are trapped and cannot escape from their home cove. they try everything from bombarding the walls of the cove to trying to fly, and continue with ridiculous ideas of escape to the point where you just have to say "GET ON WITH IT!!" now that i've described 3/4ths of the movie to you, i can honestly say that the other 1/4th isnt adding much more. also, pay attention to the end, because the "message" your going to notice was completely unacceptable, and made the movie go from painful to just plain evil. Im still awaiting an apology from disney.
The kids will love it, but your going to need to make an excuse to you kids as to why you need to bring a barf bag with you as you watch. There are hundreads more movies that your kids AND YOU can enjoy together. The movie starts with a "Funny" bathroom joke as the young penguin takes a "Potty" and everyone but him laughs, and finds it hilarious. The story follows a penguin apocalypse, which i yet to find out how this has to do with dancing. Anyways, the story is that the exit to the penguin kingdom has been blocked by an approaching ice burg, and they need help to escape. Basically its a "Try this to save us, doesent work, Oh wait! Try this! doesent work... maybe this? nope. Possibly this? Darn! Lets dance before we die!! Wow it worked! yayayay!!" kind of movie. The penguins try to find different ways to escape, and eventually try wat looks to be commit mass suicide by launching themselves off a ramp into an ice wall, (Atleast, thats what it appears to be, as i was too exhausted in boredom to pay attention at this point) and the exaggerated sounds meant for humor a bit disturbing when you think about it (Cracking noises when the penguins slam into the wall got me to raise my head to make notice of this part). at this same point, other penguins cry in fear that they wont survive. and the movie turns very dark at this point as everyone begins to fear death. of course, dancing and hope somehow makes the sun shine and makes ice melt releasing the penguins ( um, yay, global waring supporters involved in this movie???), Then the movie has to end with a makeout sceen with two penguins leading to an ending with one dirty subliminal message id rather not explain here (I noticed, i just hope the kids didnt. just look it up). Please give support to other DVD movies that try to entertain everyone, and teach children true clean humor. none of that ever shows up in this movie, and i got my refund the next day.
Great fun
This is just an excuse to make more money, the movie is terrible.
There are sometimes that people should quit while they're ahead! The first movie was decent, but the second one is trash. Waste of money.
This could have been made of deleted scens from the first movie.
Can't recommend it. There's a reason this scens would have been deleted for.
When to it with some friends with kids. It really was bad. atleast the popcorn was good.
It's a shameless cash-in. Happy Feet didn't need a sequel. It was fine as it was.
I brought this movie for my great-grandchildren,and I believe I enjoyed it more than they did!!!!!!!!!!I have watched this movie four times!!! Exellence!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great movie!!! My grandson and I look at it all the time. Three and four times a day.
movie is wonderful only thing i don't like is Wal-mart was really slow on shipping it was almost 2 weeks getting here.After release date.
Excellent Move For The Whole Family !
i got this for my girlfriend. she loves this movie. it made her day, she has not stopped watching it.
This will be a great Easter Present !
It's a nice follow-on to Happy Feet.

walk behind him
Sam headed his way home, he went into a get coke, he reached his hand out to get it but someone elses hane grabbed it before him. The hand had a tatoo, the same one he had saw that day. Sam looked up to his face and saw the very same scar. It was that moment that he recognized the man. It was Peter Hevenson from the library.
Sam smiled at him, pretending he did not know anything. He smiled back.
Sam followed him out the shop, and saw and saw him going into a nearby house. Sam remembered that had been there with his father, it was his boss house.
Sam sneaked through the back gate, even the door was unlocked. He went through the kitchen, and heard voices coming from the room.
"Todds done........gotto get rid of the other" said one of the men.
"Do you mean David?" asked the other.
Sam was shocked to hear that his dad was on the list. He moved back slowly, but bumped into the table behind him.
"There's someone here" whispered one of the men."They know"
Sam ran through the back door but someone grabbed him from the side.
He tried to scream, but no voice came out. He looked to see who it was and was relieved to see John.
"What are you doing here?" whispered John.
"I saw the man with the tatoo, he's Peter from the library. How did you know where to come?" Sam whispered back.
"I tracked down the jeep, and it belongs to your dads boss" replied John, "turns out they've put a few complaints about threatening to shut down the library. Now you wait here and i'll try to bring them down".
He saw John go inside. He heard a shot and ran to the front door incase they tried to escape. The front door opened and he saw John comimg out with both men handcuffed.
"Looks like your dads' gonna be safe" said John with a sigh of relief.

Prepare the Soil
Planting Bare-Root Roses
1. Soak bare-root rose plants overnight in a bucket of tepid water before planting.
2. Dig a hole for plant, at least 14 to 18 inches deep. Cut up banana peels and place them in the hole for added potassium.
3. Blend compost, manure, Epsom salts, and, if desired, greensand in a wheelbarrow. Amend your soil with several shovelfuls of this mixture (or any other commercial rose soil mix).

Hello all,
I currently have a Chase Student Visa
Never been late
I usually always carried a high balance (ill never do that again).
I had the card @ 792/800 for the last 6 months or so.
Card will report as PIF tomorrow (statement date) and I plan on pif before the statement date to keep it reporting @ 1% or less.
What behavior should i show and how long should i wait before asking for cli? I would just open a new account but i'm worried about my AAoA being affected.
I was thinking pif for 6 months, then asking for cli....
thank you Scorebuilding.
I would love to just go on an App Spree (my scores were as low as 555 less than a year ago, by the end of the month I should be above 720 across the board), but my goal is to buy a home by the end of the year in order to take advantage of the 8k tax credit. -- I'd love to increase my CL instead of adding a new account and killing my AAoA

Hellenic Rug Imports turns new leaf to go green
June 20, 2008,
Brooklyn, N.Y. -- Hellenic has expanded its eco-friendly initiatives by encouraging employees to carpool, offering them telecommuting opportunitie, and expanding product assortment to include more environmentally-friendly varieties.
To reduce its employees' use of and dependency on fuel, Hellenic employees have banded together to carpool. They started the new commuting approach two months ago, and some are considering bicycling to work.
Flexible working hours and telecommuting opportunities are another employee incentive to help save energy. Hellenic now offers its staff the option to work from home with new advanced telecommunication systems. Additionally, the company is now closing its warehouses on Fridays "to fight global warming and fossil fuel dependency. Productivity will go up while global temperatures will go down," Mazarakis said.
On the merchandise front, Hellenic "has made sure that a vast majority" of its product line-up fits within the eco-friendly requirements, he added.
Mazarakis noted, "Green products are a must-have for today's world, and Hellenic is making a point of coming out with new collections and re-developing old collections that best suit today's educated and concerned consumer."

Januar 2013
BeschreibungFormed in California's East Bay in 1987 by a 15-year-old guitar player named Billie Joe Armstrong and his bass-playing friend Mike Dirnt (later joined by drummer Tre Cool), Green Day has risen from the Bay Area's underground rock scene to become one the world's most popular bands. Lauded for bringing punk rock to the masses, Green Day's remarkable rise from teenage garage band to multi-platinum artists is documented here for the first time to coincide with the band's 25th anniversary.Author and frequent Guitar World contributor Alan di Perna, who has interviewed Green Day's three members several times, offers readers and fans a complete band history, from their formation and first gigs in Berkeley, California, and signing to the Lookout! label through their highs and lows, eight studio releases (including the opening salvo 39/Smooth, the door-opening Dookie, the less well-received Warning, and more), the critically acclaimed Broadway show American Idiot, and their latest recording and film efforts. Di Perna's revealing text is accompanied by more than 300 visuals, including concert and candid off-stage photography, gig posters and handbills, 7-inch picture sleeves, rare vinyl, backstage passes, and more, all presented in a stunningly designed package.

On a related note, everything about the criminal coefficient so far has been to address violent crime. So how is white-collar crime handled? Arguably, this kind of crime can be potentially have worse repercussions than the violent versions.

Before someone commit a crime, that person is still innocent. The world isn't divided between good guys and bad guys from birth. You can't just sort them out before anyone has tried to do anything.

A consideration about Sibyl might be the following.
Even in our world, people who hold power tend to be sociopathic. People who desire to control others typically have little empathy, are egocentric, are unable to see other people's points of view, are rude, etc. Essentially our leaders are pretty sociopathic to begin with. Politicians don't typically want to become politicians out of a desire to work for others, but to further their own ambitions. They want to obtain power and are usually desperate to maintain that power. People get high off power. It gets worse when you peer into the world of greedy corporate CEO's.
Essentially, even if we view Sibyl as a bunch of sociopaths, there's actually little difference between them and the people who hold power in our society today.

Sybil is not an unnaturally bad form of government; there are plenty of real life tyrannical societies in history that are just as bad or worse. But just because it isn't uniquely bad, doesn't make it good.
People need to know what is actually running their country. This is the bottom line. If your rule depends on the population not knowing what you are doing, then you are running a scam.

Could you tell us the episode and scene where they say that there aren't any judges or lawyers anymore? While it is obvious that criminal law has been greatly simplified, that doesn't necessarily hold true for the other types.
What constitutes 'proof that he is actually trying to commit a crime'?
Nobody has claimed that the world is divided between good and bad guys from birth. I have no clue where you got that idea from, but as it is, that last sentence is a useless truism which doesn't contribute to your argument at all.
Also, you completely failed to address my argument about gun control laws and the like. Am I to understand that you are ceding my point?

Let me clarify what I'm trying to do here: I am performing reductio ad absurdum to the following argument made by Vallen:
According to you, I should be prevented from putting the bomb. That's denying me the privilege of changing my mind later and not activating it. It's no different whether you're going to read my mind and stop me before I have placed the bomb, or wait until I place the bomb and stop me before I have detonated it. In both cases, you have acted in order to prevent a crime that hasn't even happened yet.

Before you go all apeshit on me, the point I'm trying to make is that it's either or. You can't protect your "innocents" and your victims at the same time. And are you in a position to decide who has more right to life? A victim, or an "innocent"?

Your concerns are reasonable of course. I too have doubt as to whether an aggregation of criminally asymptotic individuals can even understand the general populace, but let's put it this way: Once upon a time, Sybil was simply composed of a handful of individuals. At that time, just about all of the people they encountered could be evaluated as asymptotic (but not criminally so), but over time, as the system incorporated more and more minds into itself, the range of asymptotic individuals decreased thanks to a much expanded perspective. Eventually, we reach the current point of the series where the only characters that could be identified as asymptotic would be outright sociopaths.
That still leaves the problem of using criminals though. I'm willing to chalk it down to practical concerns, where an asymptotic individual could be gauged by his/her capacity to commit a crime without being detected by the system. I agree it was a fairly questionable decision to use criminals, but it does at the very least take diversity into account from how I see it.

I know this is simply speculation, but personally, I'd prefer a Sybil that is constrained by practical limitations, rather than simply a stupid/extremely arrogant one. The latter kind of ruins the suspense and makes things way too one-sided

Logically speaking, why would Person A be pointing a gun at Person B? Well, in all likelihood, it's one of these three reasons:
1. Person A intends to shoot and kill (or at least maim) Person B.
2. Person A is threatening Person B, and using the gun to add credibility to his threat. For this, keep in mind that even the act of simply threatening a person can be criminal if you take it to a certain extreme.
3. Person A is out of his mind. Perhaps he's drunk, or on heavy drugs, and isn't fully cognizant of what he is doing. So you have a man out of control, wielding a gun.
In either of these three cases, the police should intervene if they're in a position to effectively do so. I'm fairly confident that everybody here would agree with that.
Now, could it be that Persona A is just somebody pulling an ill-conceived prank on one of his buddies? Yes, that is possible. But I think it's less likely than the three possibilities I listed above. Sometimes police officers have to use their best personal judgement in making tough calls. That's part of the challenge of being a police officer in the modern world, and one could argue that it relates to the challenge of being a person in a free society.
Yes, our world is messier than Sibyl's, in many ways. I would argue that's the inevitable cost of freedom. You either give people freedom and the responsibility and risk that comes with it, or you take freedom away to increase security. You can't always have the best of both worlds.
This is one of the questions that Sibyl poses. Personally, I'd rather be a free man in a somewhat messy world than a man who lives in a relatively clean word that is heavily micromanaged by a system like Sybil.
There comes a point where theoretical discussion becomes so very divorced from reality that it loses all value.
You don't see anything philosophically troubling about punishing a man for a crime he never committed based purely on some predictive method? For me, that greatly undermines the concepts of justice or fairness. I think you send human society down a very dark path if you embrace a system that dispenses entirely with both of those concepts.
I mean, what about the principle of innocent until proven guilty? This is a principle that our criminal justice system is rooted in. I think it's a principle that most people agree with.
With this in mind, suppose a police officer sees one man pointing a gun at another, and reacts quickly by tackling the gun-pointer to the ground. The police officer is then informed that the two were actually filming a student movie, and this was part of an action scene. The gun isn't even loaded. The police officer made a honest but very understandable mistake.
Well, the police officer will feel sheepish, hopefully apologize, and the gun-pointer isn't arrested. He was never proven guilty of anything.
Suppose the police officer pointed a Dominator at the gun-pointer's head, while the police officer was off to the side out of the gun-pointer's field of vision. The gun-pointer tries to think like a criminal in order to perfect his acting performance. The Dominator misreads that as him actually being a criminal.
BANG! The actor gets exploded. So much for innocent until proven guilty...

Do you see anything philosophically troubling with allowing innocent people to die violent, meaningless deaths every day - deaths which could have been avoided, had we utilized such a system - so that we can cater to the general public's opinion of 'justice' or 'fairness'? And if one of these meaningless deaths is someone close to you?
The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' would remain basically the same. It's just that we would conceivably be able to prove 'future guilt'. The dominator's readings (or whatever we're using) could hold large legal power in court, for example.
Also, even if the police is equipped with Dominators, it doesn't mean that they won't try and take suspects into custody first.

I believe Tomomi and Yayoi were deemed latent criminals for a reasn.
Some of you are probably thrown off by the fact that they're pretty nice people.
Are you under some kind of assumption that nice people don't do criminal things?
Consider the possibility of Tomomi constantly ending up decking his superiors because nothing works the way he is used to? Or going rogue like Ko did? Yayoi I am unsure of, but there was probably a reason as well. Fact of the matter is that she's an underdeveloped character so it's hard to say.
Of course, whether there as a good reason probably doesn't even matter to both of you since you guys probably think they shouldn't be arrested until after someone ends up hospitalized or murdered.

What's even more scary than unjustly shooting a person with a Dominator is how people like Yuki got assessed by Sibyl and pushed down a certain career path that made her unhappy. I wonder, just how many chances does a regular person get in Sibyl's world? Would Yuki be allowed to change her life, either via requalification or relocation, if she wanted to? All this talk about Sibyl's predictability models for criminal behaviour and career suitability might as well extend to predicting appropriate courses of education. After all, if it managed to cram Kagari into a prison at age five, what's stopping it from assessing that, for example, children coming from lower income families, who were born into a life of poverty with a whole slew of social issues, will most likely not finish second-level education? So Sibyl, and by extension society asks itself whether it should even invest into their education. Is taking a chance on a near-guaranteed loss for a system even worth the resources and collective effort? Or should it just send a dog with a Dominator after them, to dispense of them before they become a burden to society?
We don't do that in our society because we've learned throughout history that we deserve more than one chance, that greatness can emerge from poor social conditions. Most of all, we have a need to believe that we are good people and that the people we surround ourselves with are good. We try to believe people can change, even though sometimes it's hard to keep an open mind, that a child born in Hamas' schools won't go down the path of a terrorist, that someone with bad grades won't resort to drugs, that a person with a drug addiction problem can clear his program and remain straight, that a man with an unhealthy obsession with drawn lolita porn won't molest children in real life, that a woman with a family that made her miserable throughout her life won't grab a knife and slash their throats in their sleep, and finally, that a police officer won't abuse the powers given to him, even though he could shoot anyone quite easily.

Yeah I kind of believe that the setting loses its meaning if we don't at least believe the psycho-pass numbers are credible. Otherwise we just got a completely broken system and there's nothing to argue about. The system would just have to go. It's much more interesting to consider a system that actually does what it's supposed to do. Otherwise, why should we care about what Gen is trying to make a point about?
I still think the crux of the show is about the nature of free will and its importance to humanity. That's what Sibyl takes away most of all, and why in the end, it's not worth protecting. Sibyl does create a safe society, more or less (Ignoring the kinda ridiculous hyperoats issue), but that isn't enough.

You know what's scary? That right now this discussion is equating life and limb as mere statistics. That we can mathematically justify the loss of innocent life if they are statistically insignificant (p<0.05) compared to the population at large.
And really, if some will argue the appeal to emotion that "What if it was your loved one who died because a system that could have predicted and prevented h their death wasn't used?" can be used, we might as well counter with the opposite: "What if someone you loved died because he was predicted a potential murderer even though they haven't even done or thought of such?"
If you're a proponent of predictive dispensation of justice then you better be agreeable that it applies to all, and not complain if it happens to you or anyone cloase to you, because if not and you complain of unfairness to you, then you'll be no better than anyone trying to to insist they're above the system and society.

Jonny Wilkinson will be fit to play for Toulon against Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park on Saturday, something the region's director of rugby, Phil Davies, could do without after a chastening 44-29 Heineken Cup defeat at Exeter in the opening round.
The Blues were 41-3 down early in the second half and Davies snapped at a reporter who asked him how a team with 13 internationals, including five Lions, could be so abject against a mid-table Premiership side and asked whether he anticipated calls for his head
"At the end of the day everything always comes back to me but I am not out on the field and we are all in his together," said Davies, who is in his second season in charge. "Exeter are far from a mid-table team – they are an outstanding team who are tough to play at home.
"We have to do what we have to do: pointing fingers and making rash decisions is no good. We have to stick together and get on with it. It is an understatement to say that we were not happy with the first half: it was not good enough at this level. We were a bit more like it in the second and we have to take that momentum into the game against Toulon."
Wilkinson was forced off during Toulon's victory over Glasgow on Sunday because he needed stitches in a cut hand. He will be available for the Heineken Cup holders this weekend, unlike his half-back partner Michael Claassens. The summer recruit from Bath broke a bone in his left hand during the 51-28 victory and will be out of action for six weeks.
New Zealand have failed to persuade Sonny Bill Williams to return to rugby union. The centre, who played in the 2011 World Cup, has committed to the Roosters in Australia for another year but the All Blacks hope that after that he will be lured by the prospect of a three-year deal that will take in the next World Cup and the 2017 Lions tour.
The uncertainty over the future of the Heineken Cup has not dissuaded Ulster's Ireland scrum-half Paul Marshall from signing a new three-year contract with the province.

- "I haven't shot anything yet. So I've been spending my time running rehearsal on all kind of things. That's probably the reason why you'll see me shot tomorrow - is for saying that."
- "The director, Scott, pitched it to me. We had a nice meeting. It's still one of those crazy secret things, but he definitely pitched it to me, which was nice. It should be like that. Actors are very good at not revealing anything, so they're safe."
- "If I do say what it was, then I'll be revealing something. But, the cast is quite amazing. I can't wait to start working with these guys. I've only done rehearsals, so far. One of these days, I'll have my first shooting day. But, it looks like it's off to a good start."
- "If you look at the comic books, the comic books are quite different. I think that the film will be different from the other films that we've seen, but not as different as the books are, because that was basically the '60s and '70s – it was more like an acid trip. I don't know if you're familiar with the old comics but it's quite a specific universe, with Kung Fu and Magic… so what's not to love, really? We've taken that fascination of the time into something we can relate to today. So you still have the energy, you still have the colours, you still have the madness, but you also have something you can identify with. I think that was a necessity – if not, you would just make a crazy film. But you still have it there – you have all the action, all the good ingredients you get in a Marvel film, but it will have a different flavour, that's for sure."
- "He's not a villain in that way – he's a man who believes in something else than the hero. That doesn't mean that he doesn't want to make the planet look wonderful or he wants to save the world as well, but he has a different way of doing it. He is the antagonist, of course, but he's not necessarily wrong."
- "You can't bring the humour yourself, if it's in the script you have to sort of lean into the script that's already there. There is some. My character is not necessarily carrying too much of it but Doctor Strange is. There's a certain darkness in the Doc and a sense of humour in there, absolutely."
- "CGI is not a new thing for me, I've done it in a few movies, This one was not too bad, the CGI was not in direct interaction with me in my scenes, it was more like the backdrops, the landscapes would be slightly different sometimes, but I didn't have to interact with it."

Coins and Kings
Discover more about how coins were made at the Tower of LondonCoins and Kings >
Amazing Maze
From the London Activity Book, available in all our gift shops.Amazing Maze >
Did you know that visitors have paid to look at objects in the Tower of London for many hundreds of years?
Visitors enjoyed seeing the storerooms of arms and armour but the Line of Kings was one of the first displays made specially for visitors.
This display of figures in armour was first put together over 350 years ago to celebrate some of England's greatest kings.
Nineteen life-sized wooden horses were carved for this display in the 1680s. Many can still be seen on display in the White Tower today.
The main attraction was a line of royal figures wearing suits of armour and sitting on wooden horses.
Some of these armours had really belonged to Kings of England, such Henry VIII and Charles I; others hadn't!
'Curiosities' were also displayed. These were chosen because they were interesting or unusual, like the 'dragon saddle' or a Japanese armour. Some objects had amazing stories connected with them – but these weren't all true.
Most of the visitors were rich or important people. They could afford the price to get in or were brought as guests.
In the past the number of visitors was much, much less than it is now. But like today, visitors came not only from Britain but other countries too. Small groups of visitors were shown around by a guide – they couldn't look around by themselves.

A World at It's End
Book by: Fern Snecker
Status: Finished
Genre: Action and Adventure
Chapter5 (v.1) - Pierre
"Halle?" Jean whispered. "Halle wake up!" I wake. Jean picks me up and slips on my luggage. He leads me to the car. I turn around to see a massive tsunami engulfing the towns.
Outside, the wind is cutting through everything. I stared out the window blearily." Please don't do this again." I stuttered.
Jean didn't look at me." Look, to survive-"
"Jean, shut up! I haven't eaten in several hours, and I've gotten six hours of sleep total! So shut the fuck up!" I swore. I was clearly upset. I had never spoke so boldly nor loudly.
"Halle, I was going-" Jean started, disappointed at himself.
"No, stop Jean." I intervened, covering my face with my hands. We braked at another camp sight. Jean carried me and my luggage into the tent. He placed me down.
Jean began to push food down my throat. After he stretched me out and we took a walk outside. Then he pushed me into a shower, found me some new clothes.
I slipped on the clothes and trudged into our tent. Inside I sipped on water. A moment passed before me and Jean communicated, but until then, Jean rarely made eye contact with me, which slightly scared me.
Jean turned to me and locked eyes. "Halle?" I settled my bottle, and raised an eyebrow at him.
"What?" I sighed. Jean gulped and gazed through the roughly open flap.
"I don't say sorry just to anybody okay?" Jean stated, I already knew what trail he was going down. But, as he was about to say a word, he stopped right in his tracks.
Smoke wafted in the air, seeking through the tent. As soon as my lungs took in the fowl aroma, I began to cough. Jean took a deep sniff into the air.
Out of concern, Jean headed me out of the tent to see fire trapping us. I covered my mouth as I wheeze.
Suddenly, a tall, lean shadow appeared out of the smoke. "Get every single one of them." The voice snapped, it was a man.
Finally, he stepped in our sight, showing himself. He was striking a defiant pose and wearing a pale grey suit, matching Jean's magnificent eyes. His hair was pushed back and his face was cleanly shaven. He took a long glance at Jean, who owned a smug smirk on his face.
"Oh, regarde qui c'est, le rebelle de la famille,"(Oh, look who it is, the rebel of the family) He spoke boldly. I knew a wide amount of French, and several other languages, and was alarmed to hear his words.
"Je pensais que je vous ai dit de foutre le camp, Pierre."(I thought I told you fuck off, Pierre) Said Jean. The man chuckled and gazed over to me.
"Maintenant, je dois savoir, êtes-vous les gars, vous savez?"(Now, I need to know, are you guys, you know?) The man asked.
"Pierre!" Jean boomed.
"What? I want to know if she understands me," The man named Pierre joked.
"Je pense qu'il est temps pour vous de faire marche arrière,"(I think it is time for you to step back) I spat. Pierre's disrespectful smile faded from his shaved face.
"Take them," Pierre said coldly. Men rushed towards us, I yelled at the top of my lungs. They held me tight as we followed Pierre, walking a distance from the smoke.
Our footsteps crunched the leaves below us. I cried as our fate dawned on me like a shadow. Pierre stopped and turned around on his boot heel.
"Just because I want this to be fun, I'll make it a surprise." At the moment, I didn't understand what he was trying to say. The buff man capturing me nodded.
His gloved hand came to my face; it had a mysterious gel on it. As soon I sniffed the gel, I became woozy and my eyelids went heavy. The world went blurry and lost all sanity.
Everything went dark from there………………

Take a step back.
I began to shake and shiver,
My confidence withered
As I entered the pitch black cavern.
The sunlight behind me began to whine.
The earth beneath me proceeds to moan.
The sunlight growls with an unforgiving tone,
Don't go on, you will surely miss home.
I began to roam.
As a smell of putrid fear
Permeates all throughout.
My spine became entwined, my eyes swelled with tears.
The guidance I once received
Had suddenly disappeared.
The darkness had grown thicker, the air thinner
The earth beneath me that once had been so grateful, now bitter.
Each breath, a valiant effort.
My ears bored, more or less deaf.
My ambition had died, my craving for life cringed inside.
This once promising journey had no promise left.
I lied in the thick pitch black.
I had once sought upon a purpose greater than thou.
Yet all I received was dreadful hopelessness.
All I yearned for now was guidance, once so abundant…
Now scarce like a good breath of air.
This whole journey is pointless, I screamed to myself.
A blinding ray of light
Delivered much needed insight,
It exclaimed in subtle fashion
If one seeks to learn a new language
They must know how to speak,
If one seeks upon adulthood,
Have confidence in a cherished childhood.
