Once again, as if piggybacking off this week's Champions League drama, Thursday's evening of Europa League round of 16 action had just about everything.
Carrying a 3-0 lead into the San Siro, Tottenham amazingly surrendered three goals to Inter Milan, including an own goal by William Gallas, before scoring a crucial goal in the first half of extra time to ensure qualification to the quarterfinals on away goals.
Inter's Antonio Cassano and Rodrigo Palacios scored the two regulation goals before Gallas' own goal put the match into extra-time, but it was the extended foot of Emmanuel Adebayor that scored the all-important goal for the London side. Cassano beautifully set up teammate Ricky Alvarez to tie the match 4-4 on aggregate, but they'd fail to score again, settling for a 4-1 home victory.
Read more about Thursday's Europa League matches after the jump:
Fernando Torres' ended his goal scoring drought with his game-winner in the 71st minute, sending Chelsea into the next round with a 3-1 victory over Steaua Bucaresti. Down 1-0 in aggregate coming into the match, the Blues tied the score with a first-half strike from Juan Mata.
Steaua would strike back just before halftime, when defender Vlad Chiriches slammed home a botched Chelsea clearance on a corner kick. A determined home side came out in the second half going for the win, and after gaining confidence from John Terry's unmarked header to take a 2-1 lead on the night, Torres' goal put his team on top in aggregate, holding on to advance past the pesky Romanian club.
In the northeast of England, Newcastle's Papiss Cissé scored the winner in the 94th minute, sending the Toon Army faithful at St. James Park into a state of hysteria. It's the Senegalese forward's second straight match with a game-winning goal in the 90th minute, after his goal against Stoke City last Saturday gave Newcastle three points.
The win puts Newcastle into the quarter-final round for the first time since the 2004-2005 edition of the tournament, when it was called the UEFA Cup.
Here's a full rundown of today's results (aggregate score in parenthesis):
Newcastle United 1, Anzi Makhachkala 0 (1-0)
Fenerbahce 1, Viktoria Plzen 1 (2-1)
Lazio 3, Stuttgart 1 (5-1)
Chelsea 3, Steaua Bucaresti 1 (3-2)
Rubin Kazan 2, Levante UD 0 AET (2-0)
Zenit St. Petersburg 1, FC Basel 0 (1-2)
Inter Milan 4, Tottenham Hotspur 1 AET (4-4)
Bordeaux 2, Benfica 3 (2-4)
What did you think of these results? What did you think of Tottenham's performance? Impressed with Chelsea's response in the second half?
Share your thoughts below.
torres may have scored, but he also missed a pk lol
Does anyone else find it horribly wrong that the away goals rule applies in extra time? Tottenham Hotspur scores an away goal in extra time, meaning Inter has to score twice in extra time. That doesn't seem fair. Over the two-legged tie, Spurs had 30 extra minutes to score away goals. This is another stupid rule.
It's silly to argue that Spurs had 30 extra minutes to score an away goal while failing to account for the fact that Inter got to play an extra 30 minutes at home. And, if the game had gone to penalties, the penalties would have been in the San Siro. Without the away goals rule counting in extra time all the advantages would be with the home team of the second leg.
So, not a stupid rule at all.
The advantages you cite don't come close to canceling out the disadvantage of having your goals count for half of what your opponent's goals are worth.
Do you really need convincing that it is easier to score goals at home and easier to prevent them? Or that this advantage increases during extra time when fatigue is at its greatest? Why should the home team in the second leg have this advantage? And, the goals don't count for half as much at all (e.g. if the home team scores 3 and the away team scores 2, they don't hand the win to the away team). One team gets to play in their home stadium, the other team wins ties. Seems fair to me.
Whether the advantages cancel each other out or not is up for debate — I obviously give more weight to home field advantage than you do. If you eliminate the away goals rule in extra time, you should just skip the extra time and go straight to PKs and perhaps even clear the stadium for the kicks.
Wendell Gee
Home field is an advantage, sure. But let's not pretend the stadium is rung with snipers taking out the away team's players. If the home team scores the away team can still win. If the away team scores that's pretty much game over. There is no home field advantage that cancels that out. NO manager in his right mind would prefer to be the home team in that scenario.
You should check out the article in the Guardian a couple days ago about the overly arbitrary nature of the away goals rule. The rule is quite possibly on its way out in the coming years, and the scenario that plays out in extra time is partially why.
Inter should have been more motivated to score one in London.
Quite the strawman there CplDaniel.
I think its pretty sad that the only teams written about every single Europa Cup write up are English.
The Lazio and Benfica games were great and not a pip about them.
I lament this constantly. If Rome or Lisbon were English-speaking cities, I imagine you'd hear more. I'm always surprised that the Bundesliga's fans don't win it more international acclaim, and that people would rather watch teams from Newcastle and Swansea over teams from Florence and Milan, or Rome, or Napoli. Money talks, I guess, and the EPL has plenty of that (see: people calling it the BPL…), if not much else.
Your rant was far more eloquent.

AWOLNATION fans, rejoice! Frontman Aaron Bruno is about to begin a three-month stint in Red Bull Studio LA working on the follow-up to the band's behemoth debut album, 2011's Megalithic Symphony.
The new record doesn't have a name yet but according to staff at Red Bull Records it's expected to be released sometime in the new year, which will appease any fans worried the band would never get off that tour bus they've called home for much of the year.
It's been a special year for the band, who've seen their smash-hit single Sail go triple platinum and enjoy a marathon 51 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100. They've also contributed songs to the movies (Iron Man 3) and a video game (Injustice: Gods Among Us).
After all that time on the road – including some dates on the Red Bull Brandwagen – Aaron will be ready to uncork a dam's worth of creativity and let his band, primed by months on the road, to cut loose. Stay tuned for more developements in the AWOLNATION.

I believe I said my opinion about the polygamy option already,
But, yeah I think that if the manga goes beyond Tsukune's graduation I think he should have chosen his partner by then already.
EDIT: On a side note aren't the last 3 chapter's similar to the chapter's before Sun's arc ( chapter's 15,16 and 17 where filler chapter's as well weren't they ) and after that we got a serious arc ( with Tsukune showing off the result's of his training ). So what I'm trying to say is that it could be the same pattern used with chapter's 23,24 and 25 ... so that means that chapter 26 should be ( if I'm right ) the chapter where we get back to the serious stuff.

17 might be equivalent to 25 (since 15 and 16 are like 23 and 24- showing the strength that Tsukune's acquired)... the difference is, I'm thinking people liked Kurumu's story a bit better than Yukari's (for multiple reasons)
although... I must admit, I think we're gonna see Fairy Tale either in 26 or 27 again, and Tsukune will have to get down to Serious Business... it also means prepare for a good heaping of GARness

So knowing Inner Moka's movement pattern is probably gonna help Tsukune synchronise his attacks with Inner Moka better.
Of course it means that the opponent is strong enough for Inner Moka having problems beating him alone, but I don't think that Fairy Tail has only weak youkai, right. ( Khalua, anyone )
The only problem with the idea of a battle coperation between Inner Moka and Tsukune that I think is a quite significant one, is that would Inner Moka's vampire pride allow her to ask Tsukune for help in defeating her opponent ...

Ah yes, settling. A thing to do later. But for the moment, not settling is causing quite an uproar and keeping things interesting for the time being. A good thing, for it will eventually lead to some serious action and adventure. Though, I wonder if those "off campus excursions and training" are going toward an overall grade for graduation for Tsukune and company. Like extra credit like things. If they do get that kind of credit, the group could end up graduating half to almost a full year ahead of everyone else in the academy.

So overall I don't think that Tsukune and company will graduate early ( unless something unexpected comes up ... )
Since we are already on the topic of Tsukune ... there is a little thing that has been bugging me for quite some time. Well, as I think everyone have noticed there are moments when Tsukune's eyes have a different pupil color, but still look human. ( for example: here or another example here ). As I pointed the pupil color change but they don't look like Tsukune's vampire eyes or his normal eyes.
Well maybe his pupils change color , because Tsukune unconsciously releases his youki , Remember what Inner Moka said during her "date" with Tsukune ( the part about youki ), so it could also apply to Tsukune, because we know that Tsukune's body produces youkai power, so why can't small amounts of that youki slip out of Tsukune.
Well, of course it could be blocked by the holy lock, but I think that's not the case, the reason of that, is that there have been a lot of situations when Tsukune's eye color change without changing into "vampire" eyes, to call it a coincidence ...

Typically in manga and anime, eyes are used to show emotional changes. The examples you showed are just that, nothing to do with Tsukune's vamp youki. The first one is just a difference in the art or a bad scan. The second one is something like a surprised reaction. In your examples and those other times, his eyes are completely human. They're just showing emotion. There's also no color change, just shape and differences in the art. The only time his eyes really change is when Tsukune uses youki.
If you read other manga or watch anime, you'll notice that eyes change shape a lot to reflect emotions. Shrunken irises and pupils usually mean the character is shocked. Wide irises are surprise or happiness depending on the rest of the facial expression. Blank or solid colored irises means the character is not in a normal state of mind or possessed. As far as I know, these are the most common.

Well, personally I don't think that the Holy Lock is able to do that ... well sealing the Tsukune's youki is supposed to be one of the functions of the holy lock, but does that mean that Tsukune's Holy Lock is actually controlling the amount of youki generated in Tsukune's body ... I mean it seems like a Rosario is able to do something like that ( for example Moka's - but as it was told in the manga, Moka's Rosario was specifically made for her ) ... but is Tsukune's Holy Lock able to do the same ... even if the Headmaster said that it was not made for Tsukune, so a defect cannot be avoided ... well I generally think that trusting the Headmaster's words is risking, but so far I don't think that there would be something in the manga so far, that would prove otherwise so I will stick with that at this moment ... so if we treat the Headmaster's words as true, then that means there are some differences between Tsukune's Holy Lock and Moka's rosario.
And if the Holy Lock had the ability of controlling the amount of youkai energy generated in Tsukune's body ... how could he still be able to use his vampire abilities without the Belmont whip ???
Well what I want to point out, that unless Tsukune or his Holy Lock has means to prevent that, if we are using Inner Moka's words as point of reference then doesn't that mean that Tsukune is an ideal target in combat, whenever his emotions get the better of him ?

Might want to go read some more manga/watch anime- when a character's emotions rise, they always get some sort of power boost. Also, the youkai power is generated within Tsukune. The Holy Lock is just that- a lock on his power that he's actually using. Think of it like a dam: the water (youkai power) is already there, but the dam (holy lock) controls how much of it is actually used/going through
and also, a person becoming a target due to power via emotions is also a very common thing- hence why there's always the thing about keeping one's emotions in control during combat

And I agree with you, about Tsukune's youkai power being generated within him, and that the Holy Lock is controlling how much it is going through, what I wanted to point out is that from what Inner Moka has said about youki detecting aura's, it seems that it is fundamental during combat between fellow ayashi and that so far we don't know if Tsukune can hide his youkai aura during combat ... ( at least I don't remember it being said anywhere ) ... but, well come to think of the reason, why Tsukune doesn't know how to hide his youki is because Inner Moka is thinking that it is bellow her to hide her presence during battle ... it could be another example of vampire pride that was mentioned so many times, before ... or another explanation is that due to the high amounts of youkai energy generated, vampires are simply unable to hide their presence by themselves and that's why they have to resort to wearing some kind of seals to take care of this weakness of their kind ...

ugu... it feels like decades since the last chapter =_=...
I always find it odd that the staff is always busy with something at the beginning of the month... kinda like how homeless people get their paycheck on the first friday of the month and go out and be busy for awhile from their usual lounging on the streets.

Rumsfeld and other administration officials warn of a new CaliphateBreaking News
The word getting the workout from the nation's top guns these days is "caliphate" - the term for the seventh-century Islamic empire that spanned the Middle East, spread to Southwest Asia, North Africa and Spain, then ended with the Mongol sack of Baghdad in 1258. The term can also refer to other caliphates, including the one declared by the Ottoman Turks that ended in 1924.
Specialists on Islam say the word is a mysterious and ominous one for many Americans, and that the administration knows it. "They recognize that there's a lot of resonance when they use the term 'caliphate,' " said Kenneth M. Pollack, a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst and now a scholar at the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution. Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, said that the word had an "almost instinctive fearful impact."
So now, Mr. Cheney and others warn, Al Qaeda's ultimate goal is the re-establishment of the caliphate, with calamitous consequences for the United States. As Mr. Cheney put it in Lake Elmo, referring to Osama bin Laden and his followers: "They talk about wanting to re-establish what you could refer to as the seventh-century caliphate" to be "governed by Sharia law, the most rigid interpretation of the Koran."
A number of scholars and former government officials take strong issue with the administration's warning about a new caliphate, and compare it to the fear of communism spread during the Cold War. They say that although Al Qaeda's statements do indeed describe a caliphate as a goal, the administration is exaggerating the magnitude of the threat as it seeks to gain support for its policies in Iraq.
In the view of John L. Esposito, an Islamic studies professor at Georgetown University, there is a difference between the ability of small bands of terrorists to commit attacks across the world and achieving global conquest.

South Jersey Subaru Dealer Offers Top Tailgating Car
South Jersey Subaru dealer RK Subaru of Vineland is excited to present the Subaru Outback as a Top Choice for Tailgating. With plenty of space and easy cleanup, the Outback is perfect for hanging out before the game.
Cars.com has recently named the Subaru Outback a Top Choice for Tailgating. A removable cargo tray makes the Outback an appealing tailgating choice. This means you can make a mess, and easily hose it off making clean up quick and simple. Moreover, the Outback provides a spacious trunk where all of your tailgating necessities can be stored.
"Tailgating is a time-honored tradition that has always revolved around one central item—the perfect car," said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com Editor-in-Chief. "We've compiled a list of the best all-around cars for pre-game festivities in the stadium parking lot. Our list has cars of all sizes, and each one made the list because it boasts features that were made with the tailgater in mind."
Drivers Kick Back Before Games in the Outback
South Jersey Subaru drivers know that music is a key component during a great tailgate. Bluetooth® Hands-Free technology makes it easy to blast your favorite tunes without having to crawl in and out of the car. Keep your phone in your pocket and be the DJ for the listening pleasure of those around you.
The Outback isn't just a great tailgating vehicle; it's a great all around vehicle. Subaru's BOXER® engine provides a perfectly balanced ride with both power and efficiency.

- Proper Dress in Laboratories at Farmingdale State College
- MSDSonline is HERE!
- E-Mist Technology, used by Farmingdale State College, receives Top Innovation of the Year Award
Farmingdale State College follows universal laboratory safety guidelines that prohibit open-toed shoes, sandals and other "skin exposed" footwear in the laboratory. In addition, shorts, miniskirts and tank tops are discouraged in all laboratories and where hazardous conditions exist.
Please click here to open a sign that the Office of Environmental Health & Safety created for you to print out and post (laminate if possible) so that it's clearly visible to all those entering and working in your lab(s). This sign identifies proper attire in the laboratory – the "do's" and "don'ts" of proper lab attire if you will.
In summary, any clothing that exposes large areas of skin and jewelry should not be worn in the laboratory. Feel free to leave a pair of shoes or long pants in your office/laboratory for use in the lab. If you want to wear short sleeve shirts to the lab, then put on a lab coat once inside. Good laboratory safety begins with the appropriate attire – let's all set an example for our students as well and be sure they're following these guidelines as we all surely will.
Remember! Wearing proper attire is one of the best ways to prevent an exposure to hazardous materials in the laboratory.
Please call the Office of Environmental Health and Safety at 631-420-2105 with questions regarding proper attire in the laboratory.
MSDSonline is HERE!
After many months of hard work and effort, we're now officially rolling out Farmingdale State College's new Chemical Inventory and Safety Data Sheet Management System. This system is meant to complement our existing program (i.e. hard copies in binders, etc.) and aims to serve the entire campus community, not just those working in laboratories or directly with chemicals or chemical products. Therefore, it's important for each of you to acclimate yourselves to the site and service, and at a minimum, know how to access it.
I'd suggest you begin by reviewing the associated elements of this program described in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Management section of our website (click here), then click on the links therein to access MSDSonline, the Chemical Inventory and Safety Data Sheet Management System. Once in MSDSonline, it's strongly recommended that you bookmark this link for quick and easy access – you never know when you'll need this resource, but if/when you do, it's likely you're going to want to get what you need as quickly as possible, particularly in an emergency!
When you click on the MSDSonline link(s), you should come to the MSDSonline home screen which looks like this:
The default view gives you a search engine to search through the millions of Safety Data Sheet's in MSDSonline's bank of data sheets. You may use this feature to find a data sheet not currently assigned to your specific location, or to retrieve one for a new product, etc. However, the goal here is to make this program as customized/specific to Farmingdale State College as possible, whereby you'll be searching through ONLY the data sheets we have here on campus, roughly 2,000 or so when all is said and done, making it a much cleaner and efficient search.
There is no need to "Log In"!!! We've set this to our IP range, meaning as long as you access these links on a computer or device on campus, you'll get in without the need to Log In.
To access data sheets for the chemicals reported to EH&S as part of this effort, select (from this screen pictured above) the "Locations" tab at the left and navigate to your specific location(s). This is where we placed all of the data sheets associated with the chemicals included in the inventory(ies) received to date.
I should also point out that all of the Chemical Inventories (Excel files) can be found in the "Safety Center" feature of MSDSonline. Simply click on the "Safety Center" tab to the left of "MSDS Search" and scroll down to "Resources" (see screen shot below) – you should find the Excel files/inventory(ies) there that identify the chemical name(s), quantities, sizes, locations, etc.
Farmingdale State College has invested in and is actively using E-Mist Technology, used in the control and prevention of infections such as MRSA, receives Top Innovation of the Year Award
Farmingdale State College has acquired two E-Mist units that are used throughout campus and is especially helpful in keeping our athletic facilities infection free. E-Mist has recently announced that InfectionControl.tips (ICT), an internationally recognized Pan-Access collective, has selected the company as a Top Innovation of the Year. ICT is dedicated to infection control and prevention and actively publishes peer-reviewed research articles and perspective pieces focused on the topics of infection control and prevention.

The moment Deadrick actually began to get used to the falling, the lack of air and anything recognizably existent around him, it stopped, and he burst back into reality.
The Portal Dellessain had created here wasn't the neat doorway he had made back at the Plateau- it was a rip in the air.
More than eighteen or nineteen foot above the ground, it hung there like a open mouth. Deadrick came barreling out, his legs flying over his head twice, like some sort of ragdoll. He flew for a moment, his body tensed for the impact.
He ploughed into the floor, sending a cloud of dust upwards, rolling for a moment before coming to a stop- splayed out on his back.
"Ow," Was all he said.
He lifted his head slightly, seeing Nerui, Danyel and Bruad walking towards him. He looked to the left and saw his hat lying next to him.
He climbed to his feet unsteadily, then picked it up and dusted it off.
"I had a competition with myself as to who would have the best entry," Bruad said, "Until you arrived, Danyel was ahead- he did this fantastic little mid-air pirouette, it certainly made my day,"
Danyel shot him a look.
"I wasn't expecting it to be comfortable, but I have to admit, I wasn't expecting that," Nerui said. The band she had pulled her hair back with was gone- and it was untamed and wild.
Deadrick put the hat on his head, then looked around. They were at the foot of a huge mountain. It disappeared into the dark sky- and as Deadrick looked left and right it seemed to continue on forever as a wall of ugly, evil looking spikes.
The sky looked ill. Nefern Dale shared it's border with Gael- and the warm blue, slightly cloudy sky seemed to hit the mountain wall, and was pushed back by the sickly green and black swirling storm above them. Even the ground below them had been warped- the rich green grass stopped about the point where Deadrick was standing, then became bare, barren and dead.
Deadrick sighed, and reached into his pocket, removing the Selleia Tether. It was aglow now, sending off a warm light that even showed through Deadrick's hands when he tried to cover it. He had expected just to be able to pass it through the portal, but he would have to throw it.
He squeezed it with his hand, and then looked at the Portal above him. He checked which way the wind was blowing then lined himself up.
He threw it overhand, and watched it as it flew through the air; spinning wildly, and then disappeared into the Portal. The air shimmered as it entered, but then there was an even greater flash.
There was a pop as the Portal collapsed in on itself, and vanished from reality. His ears popped again slightly as the air struggled to compensate for the lack of air.
"Now we're on our own, right?" Danyel said quietly.
Deadrick turned to him.
"What's new there?" He said grimly.
There were a few moments of silence, before Nerui clapped and spoke.
"So, which ways the way in?" She said.
Deadrick looked left and right- realizing that the Halara hadn't given them any sort of directions.
"Well, I'm going… this way, anyone joining me?" She finished, turning and walking away.
Deadrick, Danyel and Bruad exchanged glances for a moment, before following after her.
It wasn't long before they found the pathway between the mountains. It was an winding, uneven path big enough for two carriages to pass each other in comfort.
They wasted no time, following it in between the wall of rock that towered above them.
The mountains that surrounded Nefern Dale were created long ago- during a war between the Mainlanders and the Syndicate. The Syndicate Mages had discovered a huge source of Ecrid below the region- and they released it, warping the landscape.
They aimed to release a powerful Condemned dragon that resided within the pool of Ecrid, and the Council decided that they couldn't be allowed to, as it could have devastating consequences for the whole world.
When they tried to attack, however, they discovered that the Mages had used the Ecrid to create the towering mountains around the borders and coasts.
The state of the sky prevented any sort of aircraft from making aerial attacks- the Syndicate had created the perfect defense so they could work safely on releasing the Demon.
The story goes that a great hero named Dragnock and his companion Premithious fought their way into Nefern Dale and destroyed the Demon before it was fully released.
With Nefern Dale in the state it was, and the Syndicate too weak to be a nuisance, the Council decided to leave them to fend for themselves in the hell they had created.
But the Syndicate rebuilt- making themselves anew. They still followed the teachings of dark gods, but they remained within the mountains walls- thriving as a new community, even building towns and a Citadel. This was where they had summoned Juhra.
They walked for at least an hour, and with no sign of the mountains relenting, they decided to stop and rest.
Whilst everyone else rested, Deadrick scouted ahead. After walking for a few minutes, he saw something that made his heart sink.
Moving towards them was a formation of about sixty or seventy Syndicate members.
Deadrick didn't even think, he turned and ran.
"How quick were they moving?" Nerui asked.
Deadrick had gotten back to them and told them what he had seen, and they had wasted no time in packing up their things.
"Not fast, but they'll be on us in a few minutes," Deadrick replied.
"Were they armed?" Danyel asked.
"It doesn't matter, the Syndicate have some of the greatest Mages alive, they'll kill us dead before we can do anything," Nerui said, a spike of panic in her voice.
Deadrick's mind was busy trying to figure out what they could do. There was nowhere to hide- the walls on either side of them were sheer- and there was no guarantee- even if they ran, that they could get to the entrance in time.
"Great, we get this close and then we die," Danyel grumbled.
"We're not going to die," Deadrick snapped.
"Yes we are," Bruad said nonchalantly, lifting his arm and pointing down the road. During the panic, none of them had noticed the group coming into view- no more than twenty or so metres away.
This stretch of the pathway was straight, and the leader of the group stopped, his eyes wide and alert, like a cats, beneath his black hood. The rest of the group froze as well, every single pair of eyes boring into them.
"I'm not going to enjoy this," Deadrick said quietly, observing the group, "I'm not going to enjoy this one bit,"
Without a moments hesitation, Deadrick grabbed his gun and his sword simultaneously and launched towards the wall of mages.

So you want to start living a healthier lifestyle. You go on the Internet to do a little research and you find lifestyle blogs recommending you to buy this or that blender in order to make the perfect smoothies. All is fine and well.
You're feeling positive and ready to finally begin your new lifestyle. You go on to Amazon to place your order. But there's one problem. The recommended blender costs more than $400! And you don't think you're willing to invest that kind of money on a blender yet.
But don't worry! There's a way for you to have your cake and eat it too. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on an expensive blender when you can get a good quality one for just under $200 and even under $100.
Before we go into discussing our quality cheap finds, let's first discuss the qualities you should find when looking for a blender for smoothie-making.
Here are some things to consider when buying a blender to help make smoothies
Blender Power and Smoothie Consistency
The first and probably most important factor you have to consider when looking for a blender (well, aside from the price) is the peak horsepower (HP) of its motor. Of course, the higher the power of the blender, the thicker the smoothie it will produce. Blenders on the market usually range from 500 watts to 1,500 watts with blenders costing more the higher their wattage is.
If your goal is only to use the blender for smoothie-making then you're fine with at least 750 watts or at least 1.6 HP. The problem, you see, with low powered blenders is that it churns out pulpy smoothies.
The Pitcher
Another thing you need to consider is the size/shape and material of the pitcher that comes with the blender. Pitchers come in glass or plastic and can accommodate a range of ounces. Glass pitchers are generally more durable and resistant to scratches but are also heavier while plastic pitchers are lighter but more prone to scratches. It is also a good idea to look for a pitcher with a wide base as it would also mean an easier cleanup after use.
Knowing if a blender offers a variety of speeds is also important. Having more than one speed can help you control the consistency of your smoothie and lessen the mess that you would have to clean up afterwards. Blender controls make come in the form of buttons or touch pads (which would be easier to cleanup).
These following models maybe the perfect compromise between quality and price.
A mid-range Blenders: Under $200
Now that we know what to consider when buying a smoothie blender, it's time to look into the blender models that are both quality and won't make the bank.
1. Oster VERSA Professional Performance Blender
Price: $193.82 (on sale on Amazon)
Power: 1400 watts
Pitcher Capacity: 64 ounces
Oster is known for its cheap under $100 blenders but they step up the game with this 1400-watt professional blender. With its three pre-programmed controls and a dial for controlling speed, this blender can effectively crush up to six large ice cubes without the need of adding water making it capable of producing thick smoothies.
2. Jamba Appliances Quiet Shield Blender
Price: $141.54
Power: 1190 watts
Pitcher Capacity: 32 ounces
The main perk of this Jamba blender is its quiet feature. It comes with a shield which you use to cover the blender when in use in order to muffle the noise. It also comes with 10 choices of blade speeds for optimum blending. The only qualm here is the relatively small pitcher.
Cheap Blenders: Under $100
These blenders are less versatile given their price range but are still good if you only plan on using them for smoothie-making.
1. Oster Classic Blender
Price: $69.99
Power: 600 watts
Pitcher capacity: 40 ounces
This is perfect for the starting health enthusiast who can't spend too much on a blender. Although it only has 600 watts of power, it can still crush ice which would translate to a capability to produce good smoothies.
2. NutriBullet
Price: $79.99
Power: 600 watts
Pitcher capacity: Depends (the blender comes with cups of varying sizes)
The famous bullet blender wraps up the list. For its relatively cheap price, it can easily pulverize fruits and vegetables for the perfect healthy smoothie. This blender also listed on BlenderVersus.com as one of the best blender under $100
There you go! Blending doesn't have to be expensive. It's time to go out and buy that perfect blender for your smoothies.
Talking from a dermatologist's point of view, sleeping in makeup is a health risk. Why? When you sleep in makeup there is a possibility of developing acne because the pores get clogged by makeup. This happens if you repeatedly sleep in your make-up though.
You may want to check this article from Huffington Post that give some more detail information regarding the effect when sleeping with make up here.
This is why it is important to know some of the best natural ways to remove makeup easily and avoid acne.
You don't need to irritate your skin with some funny ways of removing make up yet some natural ways exist. Most of these methods are pocket friendly and easy. Why would you want to use chemicals in removing your make up when you can invest in some cool and simple methods that have been confirmed to work?
Here are the best ways to remove makeup without makeup removers.
1. Olive Oil
Olive oil makeup removal is recommended for people who have a dry skin. Incase olive oil is not available people with dry skin can also substitute it with other types of oils such as castor oil or jojoba oil. Natural oils can also be used instead of olive oil.
How to: Use one of your fingers to gently spread the olive oil or natural oil around your face while avoiding sensitive sections like the eye. With a soft cotton pad remove makeup gently around your face. Repeat this until all the makeup is removed successfully. You can use a new cotton pad after using the both sides of the first cotton pad.
Olive oil makeup removal is easy and friendly to the skin every time you use it. Olive oil makeup removal is so far the best in removing makeup naturally and in a skin friendly manner.
2. Cucumber
If you never knew that the best natural makeup remover can be right there in your kitchen, well, now you know. Cucumbers can actually be used to remove make up and leave your skin feeling fresh and cool.
In fact some manufacturers use cucumber as one of the ingredients in the production of some makeup removers in the market. So you've actually been using cucumber without knowing. Anyway cucumber alone can be used to remove your makeup leaving no trace at all.
How to: Place some chopped cucumbers into cold water and stir so that some of its contents can mix with water. Get a clean cotton pad, dip it into the water then gently wipe your face. Repeat this all over your face apart from the eyes and see how good a cucumber can be in makeup removal.
Cucumber never leaves any makeup behind and it is also the best anti-inflammatory way to remove make-up.
3. Milk
Milk is a nutritious food which helps the human body a lot including the skin. Nutrients which are available in milk help in softening the skin and making it healthy. Save yourself from buying chemical laden makeup removers today and start using milk to remove almost all forms of makeup effectively. Milk contains lactic acid which is good in exfoliating your skin the moment you use it to remove makeup
How to: This easy DIY method can either involve milk alone or a mixture of milk and natural oil when removing makeup. Mix milk with a few drops of natural oil and stir. Use a clean cotton pad mixed with milk and natural oil to permanently remove any makeup from your skin gently. You can repeat this until all makeup is removed.
4. Avocado
Instead of going all the way to purchase avocado oil why don't you just make good use of the avocado in your kitchen to remove makeup? Avocado is the easiest natural way to remove eye makeup. The best way to remove mascara and eye-shadow is through avocado.
How to: With the help of a Q-tip, apply some avocado along the mascara area and allow the oil to remove makeup on that area. Apart from removing makeup uniquely, avocado also contains Vitamin-E. Removal of makeup by using avocado is recommended for people with highly sensitive skins.
5. Honey and Baking Soda
Honey mixed with baking soda and some natural oil is one of the ways to remove makeup without makeup remover and still save time for other things.
How to: Mix the two and add oil on top. Use a warm cotton pad to apply this mixture around the face as you gently remove all the makeup leaving your skin feeling fresh and energized.

Alone, alone.
How can one be so alone?
Surrounded by family,
And yet still an outsider.
Empty, so empty.
Why must my heart be so empty?
Living in a house of familiar love.
Yet so strange, never penetrating,
My barriers,
Wall, after wall,
Layer after layer,
Never to peel, or fall.
Lost, so lost.
Destroying, manipulating, awaiting the cost.
In debt to karma,
Best never having to pay when it's due.
Doing everything on a whim,
They're not quite sins, but no good deeds.
I guess that's just due to my multiple personalities.
Who entrap me in my mind,
Blind, in the dark of night.
And lost.

|transitive excludes
|Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:16:59 GMT
Hi, I'm new to Ivy and was wondering if this is possible. I have a dependency on A. A is dependent on B and several other modules. I don't want B or anything else it depends on. I do want the rest of A's dependencies, though. So far, I can see no way to accomplish this in Ivy. If I add an <exclude> tag for B, it excludes B *only* - B's dependencies are still included. I can see this by both the jars that are included and the Ivy report. I need a way to set transitive=false (or would that be true?) on the exclude for B so its dependencies are also excluded. I've tried moving the exclude tag to come after the dependencies and I made sure the org and module attributes were set. Didn't help. My friends using Maven say Maven does what I'm trying to do normally. Any way to make Ivy do the same? Thanks, Philip

A Short Story
Written by Dr. Rick McGrath, Ph.D.
Years ago while working at McDonald Douglas in Huntington Beach, California, I had the privilege of starting a bible study plant wide during our lunch hour. As I remember it, it was April 1977when I began working there. My dad also worked there, in fact he helped me get hired on after getting out of the military as a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant. Being raised Catholic my family and friends weren't sure what was going on with me. They just know one day I woke up and I was different.
Some six months earlier I went through a life changing event that transformed me from a mean, hard hearted military casualty of war. Trained to kill, being taken prisoner wasn't an option. In 1989 my wife gave birth to our third child. We named him Jairus. A name taken from the bible. It was Jairus who had a daughter that died and Jesus came and gave her life again. Our son was born with several heart defects and had to have surgery. Unfortunately for our family, he died. No matter how tough I thought I was, no matter how much I thought I controlled outcomes, I finally met my match. As I look back it was God's way of emptying me of all the ugly that had built up over the seven years of my military service. I was crushed and reduced to tears and fears.
While taking a bus to and from work, I met a guy named Tom. I used to listen to him and several of his friends talking about Jesus and the bible out loud. In fact it was hard not to hear. I think they planned it that way. One day I purposely sat next to him as the bus took all of us from Riverside to McDonald Douglas in Huntington Beach. We hit it off right away. We got to talking and within a month or two he was inviting me to home bible studies on Wednesday evenings.
While at work Tom introduced me to several other Christian friends who wanted to start a bible study during our lunch hour. I thought it was a great idea. We formed the study with several of us who led the study at different locations and departments within the company. We elected a senior leader for our group who helped keep things moving smoothly. There was both a first and second lunch period so anyone who wanted to participate had access to a bible study.
All denominations and backgrounds participated. There was a diversity of Christians that attended. Typically the bible study would stay clear of so called controversial subject matter like the gifts of the Spirit and such. Many churches either don't feel the gifts of the Spirit are for today's church and Christians or they just don't believe in a Holy Trinity. Divinity yes, Trinity no.
After my son died, along with my wife, we went to several different churches. Though we were Catholic and more accustomed to the ordinary mass approach in celebrating Sunday church, we occasionally attended several black Pentecostal churches. In fact I remember the first time I went down the isle for an alter call to give my life to Jesus. Catholics didn't really do it that way so I wanted to be sure that I was sure I was saved. My wife and oldest daughter who was about 9 or 10 years old at the time joined me. As I was walking toward the altar, the closer I got the weaker my legs got. The power of the Holy Spirit was so thick, it was beyond adjectives to explain it. All I know I was standing there one minute, the next I was looking up. There was no explanation for what just happened. A tough well trained marine was on the floor without being touched.
Knowing the power of God and the gift I believed he wants all of us to have, I wanted to share the word and the experience with the folks at the bible study. I happened to mention the subject matter of my lesson I was going to share at the upcoming bible study with my friend Tom. He was a little skeptical because not everyone believed as I did or was as fired up as I was. He suggested I replace the subject matter with something a little less alarming. Being on fire has it's advantage and disadvantage. The advantage is it's hard to dissuade an on fire Christian who has heard from God, the disadvantage is it can bring unwanted heat and rebuke from fellow leaders. Since I wasn't willing to change my position, Tom mentioned it to the Senior leader Don. Don came to me the following day suggesting as Tom did that I not cover the subject matter that I had planned. As I stated to Don, I had prayed about it and felt that if I was going to serve God and spread his word, I needed to listen to the Spirit within me and move forward. Though he conceded and let me move on with my message he also gave me a stern warning. He was very concerned that there would be a fall out from those that attended.
Wednesday rolled around and it was Holy Ghost revival time. Before starting after opening prayer, I told everyone in the group what my message topic was going to be and I promised them if they opened their minds and hearts to the word of God, they would receive a special gift that very day. The bible was clear. The words were simple. With their hearts and minds open the word and the Sprit of God fell on each of us as if we were the ones sitting in the upper room at Pentecost. Some began to cry, others began speaking in tongues who never did before, some couldn't stand up. Knees were weakened. Even I felt the power when I tried to stand up.
Call after call went into Don that afternoon especially the ones Don thought would flip out and be offended by the message. They all told him what a powerful and healing experience they had. Don called me and told me he was really worried and thought the message could very well destroy the bible study we fought management to get. The power and word of God spoke that day. Lives changed, memories and bodies healed.
Don was pleased and blessed for allowing me to proceed. A message to us all.
For me it was another lesson learned that when God sends you with a message you better deliver it. I would hate to have ended up learning the hard way like Jonah. Living and working at Huntington Beach, I could have very well ended up the belly of a whale.
