"Wake up! (wake up)System of a Down is an Armenian-American rock group consisting of lead singer/keyboardist Serj Tankian, backup vocalist/guitarist Daron Malakian, bassist Shavo Odadjian, & drummer John Dolmayan, formerly drummer/one-time vocalist Ontronik Khachaturian. The name ultimately derives from a poem written by Daron titled "Victims of the Down." They changed the name to "System of a Down" so that their CD's could be shelved closer to their musical idols, Slayer. In their early years, they were (more or less incorrectly) labeled Nu Metal. This gradually subsided once the band gained further respect among both metal fans and the more critical segment of the mainstream. With that said, their sound isn't genre-definable but they sound similar to metal, alternative, & progressive. In general, most of their work fits well enough under the general label of "rock" music.After the success of their fourth and fifth albums, Mezmerize/Hypnotize, in 2006 they parted ways to work on various non-SOAD projects (Tankian's solo effort, Scars On Broadway formed by Malakian and Dolmayan, and Odajian's work with RZA). All of them except Malakian claimed this was an indefinite hiatus, but a lot of fans assumed it was more of a break-up, until they reunited for a tour in 2011. The band have continued to tour since, and they announced to the 'Kerrang!' magazine that they'll release a new album in 2017.The band released five studio albums:Probably their most well-known attribute is their rapid tone/tempo/time signature changes, giving the music a schizophrenic feel (most noticeable in songs like "Question!," "I-E-A-I-A-I-O," "B.Y.O.B.," and, of course, "Chop Suey!").They have been vocal in spreading word about the early-20th-century Armenian genocide, up to and including a tour to commemorate its 100th anniversary (though Malakian has stated that "P.L.U.C.K." is their only song about said genocidenote ). They are also in favor of drug decriminalization & are strongly anti-interventionist.

"Chop Suey"
Tropes found in their music:
- Aerith and Bob: Serj, Daron, Shavo and...John.
- The band's original drummer, whose real name was the impossibly bad-ass Ontronik Khachaturian, simply went by "Andy", making him an Aerith AND a Bob.
- Album Title Drop:
- Toxicity has one in the track it's named after.
- Hypnotize and Mesmerize each have a song that does this; see Bookends below.
- Alternative Metal: It's both an accurate and an inadequate descriptor for them.
- Arc Number: 36 had always had its title since it was written and demoed back in the 90s, but the band specifically held over releasing it until it could actually be the 36th album track they released (It became this as the 9th track on Steal This Album). The band slightly changed the title frm its original 36 to .36 to symbolise it was the 36th track. This numbering doesn't count demo tracks, bonus tracks or B-Sides, which would obviously push the numbers up.
- Audience Participation Song:
- The video for "Boom" was shot by Michael Moore during the massive worldwide anti-war protests in 2003. Most of the lines are sung by random protesters. It also includes a Harsher in Hindsight moment when the video shows a the "scary" factoid that the war could cost $200 billion. The total cost is estimated to be in the trillions.
- "Prison Song" becomes this live, as does the bridge for "War?"
- "Psycho." The audience sings the "PSYCHO! GROUPIE! COCAINE! CRAZY!" refrain.
- Avant-Garde Metal: Trope Codifier for modern experimental metal.
- Bawdy Song: "Bounce", "Cigaro", "Violent Pornography", "I-E-A-I-A-I-O"
- Bookends: Mezmerize/Hypnotize double album, the one's outro echoing the other's intro ("Soldier Side").
- "Hypnotize"'s lyrics include 'They disguise it, hypnotize it' and 'Mesmerize the simple-minded'.
- The packaging for both albums interlocks as well.
- Careful with That Axe: Frequently, though mixed with other vocal styles as well. See Soprano and Gravel below.
- Cluster F-Bomb: "Fuck the System", among others.
- Crossdresser: "She's Like Heroin'':"He wants nothing less but to wear a little dress."
- Cloudcuckoolander: Both Serj and Daron, though Shavo can get crazy sometimes too.Serj: *kicking Daron's guitar in response to it not working* "Bad, bad guitar..."
- Digital Piracy Is Evil: After outtakes from the Toxicity sessions were leaked to the internet as Toxicity II, the band rerecorded most of the tracks, added some new ones, named it to Steal This Album! and changed the art to look like it was a burned CD with the title written with a Sharpie. More a parody or commentary than outrage, as they later said they don't care if fans download their music as long as it's after the work is released.
- They did some other things. They gave it no promotion and did not advertise it (ie, like a bootleg), and the album didn't even include a booklet in America. It does in the UK and Europe but it is a simple one sided sheet saying "Steal This Album!" on one side. Some copies of the US album had art CDs drawn by the band, something which is an occasional selling point of bootlegs.
- Interestingly, the band regard Steal This Album! as their third album, indicating that they were satisfied with how it was released.
- Dissonant Serenity:
- The stylistic disconnect between a frantic verse & a calm chorus ("Chop Suey", "B.Y.O.B.", "Vicinity of Obscenity", "Violent Pornography", among others).
- The song "Temper" from their second demo is the opposite of this, a relaxed, mid-tempo verse and a brutal grindcore chorus.
- Distinct Double Album: Mezmerize/Hypnotize, released as two discs but intended as discrete parts of a coherent whole.
- Downer Ending: "Lost in Hollywood"; "Soldier Side".
- On that note, all of their albums end depressingly. Their self titled debut closes with "P.L.U.C.K.", a song about young men forced to join the army in the wake of the Armenian genocide. Toxicity ends with "Aerials", a song about how selfish the human race is, and its hidden track is a tribal rendition of Armenian church hymn "Der Voghormya" (God Have Mercy). In addition, Steal This Album! ends with "Streamline", a song about a man not being there for someone when they were on their death bed,
- Everyone Went to School Together: Serj and Daron went to the same (Armenian-American, no less) grade school.
- Everything Is an Instrument: The end-section of "Aerials".
- Excited Show Title!: Steal This Album!, "Chop Suey!", "Question!"
- Fading into the Next Song/Siamese Twin Songs:
- "Mind" into "Peephole".
- "Pictures" into "Highway Song".
- "Thetawaves" into "Roulette".
- Bonus points for the triple: "Holy Mountains" into "Vicinity of Obscenity" into "She's Like Heroin".
- "Forest" into "ATWA" and "Psycho" into "Aerials" on Toxicity.
- Earlier on, the album-length Demo Tape 4 has a few examples of this, but notably the otherwise unreleased "Friik" goes into "Mind" via subtle ambient noise, which enhances the effect of both songs.
- Fun with Acronyms: "B.Y.O.B.", usually used to mean "Bring Your Own Beer", is used by System to mean "Bring Your Own Bombs". "A.D.D.", usually used to mean "Attention Deficit Disorder", is used to mean "American Dream Denial". Then there are things like "P.L.U.C.K.", which stands for "Politically Lying, Unholy, Cowardly Killers", and "ATWA", which stands for "Air, Trees, Water, Animals".
- Gag Penis: "Cigaro."MY COCK CAN WALK RIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR!
- Genre-Busting: Not just as their musical style (Rock/hard rock/alt rock/alt metal/progressive metal/progressive rock/Experimental/self-described as 'pop'), but the combination of clearly stated protest & absurdity.
- They even throw in some Armenian folk riffs into many of their songs, giving them a somewhat Middle Eastern flavor.
- The Genre-Busting probably shouldn't come as any surprise since they've named Frank Zappa as one of their primary influences. Indeed, several critics have compared them to Zappa.
- Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut: "Nüguns" is written like this on the track listing.
- Hidden Track: An adaptation of the Armenian hymn "Der Voghormia" (meaning "Lord Have Mercy"), after "Aerials".
- Humans Are Bastards: Their lyrics tend to be very cynical and critical of society as a whole.Everybody, everybody, everybody living now. Everybody, everybody, everybody sucks!
- Ice-Cream Koan: "Aerials", and arguably most of their repertoire.
- Indecipherable Lyrics / Something Something Leonard Bernstein: A lot of their music isn't quite indecipherable, but is quite hard to decipher.
- The fast vocal riff for "B.Y.O.B."
- Large portions of a lot of their more absurdist songs, such as "Vicinity of Obscenity", "Bounce", etc.
- From "Fuck the System":I but a little bit bit bit show, but a little bit bit bit shame, but a little bit bit bit-BIT BIT BIT
- "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" flirts with this trope. The lyrics are decipherable, but performed at such high speed that it takes several re-listenings to make them out properly.Peter's pecker picked another pickle-bearing pussy pepper! Why?! / Meetin' John Dale Jr, winked an eye, point a finger! Why?! / A former cop, undercover, just got shot, now recovered! Why?! / Fightin' crime with a partner! Lois Lane 'n Jimmy Carter! Wooo!!
- "Chop Suey!" certainly is quite strange to listen to before you figure out the high-speed shouting.WAKE UP! Ragabragamagalaka MAKEUP! Haddaskadafadawraka SHAKE-UP!
- Intercourse with You: "She's Like Heroin", "Violent Pornography", "Bounce", "Cherry/Virginity", and "Vicinity of Obscenity".
- Large Ham: Started out as Serj ("Sugar", "Bounce", pretty much most of the first two albums), but Daron slowly began to take the spotlight ("Needles", much of Mezmerize/Hypnotize), while Serj sits at the Cloudcuckoolander ("This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm on This Song", "Vicinity of Obscenity", "Revenga", "Radio/Video") / Deadpan Snarker ("Cigaro") / occasionally The Quiet One ("Lost in Hollywood") position. With the release of Serj's two solo albums, he's gone back to the Large Ham he's meant to be ("Lie Lie Lie", "Beethoven's Cunt", pretty much everything else).
- Last Note Nightmare: "Aerials", for one.
- Loudness War: To some extent, a LOT of their work, especially just about everything on Toxicity. They're all Rick Rubin productions and three of their albums were mastered by Vlado Meller. Clipping is basically guaranteed, unfortunately.
- Lyrical Dissonance: Many, including "Bounce" (a very heavy song about group sex), "Shimmy" (a hard song including lyrics about indoctrination and subjugation, also about wanting to dance all night and not being late for school), and "Kill Rock 'n Roll", a heavy, serious song about the time Daron hit a rabbit with his car. (Note the cryptic lines "eat all the grass that you want / accidents happen in the dark".)
- In fact, to people who associate the sound of metal with dark, nihilistic lyrics about mass murderers and Satan, the band's entire output could qualify, as they show a good deal of moral consciousness in their lyrics, especially in their addressing of political issues and tragic world events.
- Metal Scream: Both Serj and Daron are good at these.
- Miniscule Rocking: Just as an example, Steal This Album! is sixteen tracks over 43 minutes that's just over 2:30 on average, with "Bubbles" just under two minutes long and "36" only forty-five seconds long. A song that lasts for four minutes or more is extremely hard to come by in general, though there usually is one track per album that exceeds five minutes and at least one other that equals or exceeds four (the sole exception being Steal This Album!, where only one song exceeds four minutes in length and none exceed five).
- Both Mezmerize and Hypnotize, despite being released separately, are under 40 minutes and so could have fit on a single CD.
- Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness: Usually about a 7 or 8. Some of their ballads go as low as a 4 or so.
- Mood Whiplash: Serj himself has said "Bounce" coming right after "Chop Suey!" in the track listing is an example of this. Also, "Vicinity of Obscenity" being the next song after "Holy Mountains", and probably more.
- Motor Mouth: One of the band's very defining characteristics. Almost every song by them has Serj singing really, really fast, so fast most of the lyrics can't be easily figured out with no help.
- N-Word Privileges:
- Their reworking of "Shame on a Nigga".
- "Will They Die 4 U?", their collaboration with Mase, Puff Daddy and Lil Kim from the South Park Chef Aid album, where Serj can be heard singing/shouting beginning on the second round of the chorus, while Mase raps it.
- Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly
- New Media Are Evil: Subverted by Steal This Album!, as it essentially encourages the fans not to buy it, and nothing about the album suggests that SOAD was angry about the material being leaked or potentially "stolen".
- SoaD wasn't angry about the material being leaked at all, just that the songs weren't quite finished. They were happy to put out the material and present it like it was a bootleg. The band have absolutely no problem with people downloading their demo tapes, and have been known to play the exclusive material from them live.
- On the other hand "Violent Pornography" says "Turn off your TV!".
- Non-Appearing Title: "Stealing Society", "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm on This Song", "B.Y.O.B.", "Chop Suey", "Chic 'n' Stu", "36", "U-Fig".
- A Party, Also Known as an Orgy: "Bounce".
- Precision F-Strike: In the middle of "Lost in Hollywood", a slow ballad, Daron sings "All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave em' like you just don't care".
''FUCK. YOU. For loving me,Riding on the metro
- Their reworking of "The Metro" by Berlin has just one change to the lyrics at the end:
- Protest Song: "B.Y.O.B.", "Prison Song", "Deer Dance", "Tentative", etc.
- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Repeated a few times in "Soil".
- Rap Metal: Delved into this when they did a version of "Shame on a Nigga
- Recycled Lyrics: Though the band never returned to "Friik" after Demo Tape 4, Serj had its lyrics published as a poem in his book "Cool Gardens" in 2001. He also rerecorded the song "Blue" from the tape in his solo career, which means that every one of the songs on the tape has been released in some way.
- The early demo track "PIG" was rewritten into "Mr Jack", with the majority of lyrics and tune reused, the main difference being that the heavy section at the beginning was moved to the end, replacing the original coda, and new verses were written around what had been PIG's Subdued Section.
- Riding the Bomb: Music video for "Boom".
- Rockstar Song: "Radio/Video". Inverted by "Lost in Hollywood."
- Sanity Slippage Song: The last 60 seconds of "Sugar" is a good example of this.
- "Mind", "Blue" and "Friik" are about this too. "Blue" is a man going mad from a woman leaving him and turning to a god he doesn't really believe in, "Friik" is a man who is aware he's going crazy but is unable to stop it, and "Mind" is a man who keeps having panic attacks due to having been abused as a child.
- Science Is Wrong: "Science has failed our mother Earth." However, somewhat Played With as the song isn't necessarily protesting science in and of itself but the way that technology has raised the destructive capabilities of the human race exponentially, particularly when it comes to warfare and environmental degradation. The band explicitly compares the religious wars of the past with more recent wars fought with advanced technology.Fighting off the diseased programmingOf centuries, centuries, centuries, centuriesScience fails to recognise the single mostPotent element of human existence
- Self-Deprecation: This gem from a 2001 live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYo9RcL4NlkDaron: "We are System of a Down!...and we fucking suck!"
- Self-Titled Album: Their debut.
- Separated by a Common Language: "Lost in Hollywood" uses the "cigarette" meaning of the word "fag", which is usually a British usage.
- Shout-Out:
- The line "We can't afford to be neutral on a moving train" in "Deer Dance" is a paraphrase of a quote from anarchist historian Howard Zinn (best known for writing A People's History of the United States), which is also the title of a documentary about Zinn's life and work.
- The line "Manufacturing consent is the name of the game" from "Boom!" refers to a seminal anarchist work of media analysis by Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman, Manufacturing Consent. The title of the work is actually lifted from the work of liberal intellectual Walter Lippmann, but it's quite likely that System meant their lyric to refer to Chomsky and Herman's work rather than Lippmann's, because Lippmann used the concept approvingly, while Chomsky and Herman most certainly did not.
- The title of Steal This Album! refers to Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman, another anarchist. (Sensing a pattern here yet?)
- Shown Their Work: "Prison Song" uses accurate (for the time) statistics in the lyrics.
- The Something Song: "Prison Song" and "Highway Song".
- Soprano and Gravel: Serj does this all by himself on the first album, going from screeching to clean singing to guttural roars. Some of the clean singing on later albums is done by Daron. This is taken to its logical extremes in the demo track "Temper" where he sings the verses peacefully an growls the choruses.
- Subdued Section: Many, many songs. A few of the best examples are "She's Like Heroin", "Aerials", and "Chop Suey!"
- Surprisingly Gentle Song: Their ballads, like "Roulette", "Soldier Side", "Lost in Hollywood", "Lonely Day", and "Hypnotize."
- Sympathy for the Devil: In A.D.D.:We offer prayers for your long lost soul.
- The Bus Came Back: 'Blue' was abandoned by the band after its demo and live performances in 1997, but Serj adopted it as a solo track and produced several recordings of it.
- Title Track: Toxicity and Hypnotize both contain a straight example.
- Uncommon Time: "Question!", a song with so many time signatures the band has had trouble performing it live. Many other songs as well, using time signatures like 6/8, 7/8, 6/4, 3/4 and 15/8 (7/8 + 8/8 in the riff of the song "Soil") along with 4/4.
- Unusual Euphemism: "Bounce" uses pogo sticking as a metaphor for sex. In a live version included on a bonus disc of some versions of Toxicity, Serj drops the pretense that it's about pogo altogether and sings "I brought my pogo dick."
- Vocal Tag Team: Daron and Serj on later albums as Daron started singing more.
- Word Salad Lyrics: Too many to list, but especially "I-E-A-I-A-I-O", "Vicinity of Obscenity", "Old School Hollywood", and "Question!"
- Daron admitted that "Suite Pee" was just a bunch of random lines strung together. Ditto "Sugar" and "Darts."
- Xtreme Kool Letterz: "Nüguns," thanks to the umlaut.

Ten-year-old Susannah is celebrating after her drawing was chosen in a competition organised by the Chatteris branch of Harrison Murray, which was open to youngsters from nearby Kingsfield and Glebelands Primary Schools.
Kingsfield pupil Susannah has landed a £50 voucher and, as part of our estate agency ongoing commitment to being an integral part of its local community, each time the sign is used at one of the homes they have for sale in Chatteris and surrounding areas Kingsfield and Glebelands will each receive a £25 donation to school funds.
Thea Woodhouse and Max Hancox-Wilkes, who both attend Glebelands, were highly commended for their designs.
Area manager Jackie Scotten said: "Harrison Murray is proud to support its local communities, and even more so now we are part of a large, mutual, building society in the form of The Nottingham.
"This competition proved to be a huge success and what's great is that it doesn't just end with presenting Susannah her thoroughly deserved prize but that we will also be contributing important funds to the coffers of two local schools."
Chatteris sales manager Sharon Aylward added: "We wanted to do something a bit different, that would capture the children's imagination and allow them to get involved.
"We were absolutely delighted with the number of entries received from Kingsfield and Glebelands, all of which were worthy of winning. But in the end we had to choose one and we opted for Susannah's design because it is inventive, fun and really captures the essence of buying and/or selling a property."
Harrison Murray's Chatteris office, which is currently offering potential vendors a free valuation of their property, can be found at 46 High Steet, PE16 6BH or by calling (01354) 692900.

Dept. of Cardiology, Bridgeport Hospital, Bridgeport, CT
ECG changes of ST segment depression (STSD) and chest pain are known to occur in some patients who undergo Dipyridamole myocardial perfusion (DPM) studies. Since dipyridamole does not increase rate- pressure product and thereby myocardial oxygen demand significantly, the mechanism for the STSD and chest pain is postulated to be coronary steal phenomenon. Our aim was to see if there is an association between dipyridamole induced STSD and chest pain with retrograde collaterals, a form of coronary steal anatomy.
Retrospective chart review of patients who had DPM study in a two year period and cardiac catheterisation within 6 months of the same. The reported symptom of chest pain was taken from the study report.The ECG and catheterisation films were analysed for the presence or absence of STSD and retrograde collaterals respectively by two blinded readers.
286 consecutive charts were reviewed and 19 patients met criteria. There were 9 males and 10 females with a mean age of 68.2 ± 2.5 (49-82). 13 had multivessel disease, 5 had single vessel disease and one had no obstructive coronary disease. 47 % (95% confidence interval (CI): 24.4-71) had STSD and 32% (95% CI: 12.6-56.6) had chest pain. Patients who develop STSD following intravenous dipyridamole were four times as likely to have collaterals on their catheterisation films than those who do not.( Relative risk 3.9, 95% CI: 1.1-14.1). The sensitivity and specificity was 78% (95% CI: 40-97.2) and 80% (95% CI: 44.4-97.5) respectively. The presence of chest pain was not associated with the presence of collaterals.
Dipyridamole induced STSD is significantly associated with the presence of retrograde coronary collaterals. There was no association of chest pain with the presence of collaterals.
The presence of STSD on ECG during DPM is a clinically important finding when assessing the need for subsequent catheterisation.

Permanent Weight Loss
Consumer Conscious
For most people, finding an effective diet that works most of the time must seem as complicated as nuclear physics.
It's not, but there are a bewildering number of choices for diets out there. High fat or no fat? High carbohydrate or no carbohydrate? Low protein or high protein? To make matters worse, there are a million variations and combinations to the above diet scenarios to add to the confusion.
If you are sick and tired of being confused, tired of taking the weight off only to put it back on, and tired of wondering how to take the first steps to deciding the right diet for you that will result in permanent e-Books, then this is the article that could change your life...
What you need to be is open-minded and willing to learn a few key concepts that will allow you to sort through the confusion.
Does your diet pass "The Test"?
The number one reasond diets fail is a lack of long term compliance. The numbers don't lie; the vast majority of people who lose weight will regain it -- and often exceed what they lost.
Here's another reality check: Virtually any diet you pick which follows the basic concept of "burning" more calories then you consume -- the well accepted "calories in calories out" mantra -- will cause you to lose weight. To some degree, they all work: Atkins-style, no carb diets, low fat high carb diets, all manner of fad diets -- it simply does not matter in the short term.
If your goal is to lose some weight quickly, then pick one and follow it. Studies generally find any of the commercial weight loss diets will get approximately the same amount of weight off after 6 months to a year. For example, a recent study found the Atkins' Diet, Slim-Fast plan, Weight Watchers Pure Points program, and Rosemary Conley's Eat Yourself Slim diet, were all equally effective.
Other studies comparing other popular diets have come to essentially the same conclusions. For example, a study that compared the Atkins diet, the Ornish diet, Weight Watchers, and The Zone Diet, found them to be essentially the same in their ability to take weight off after one year.
Are some diets better then others? Absolutely. Some diets are healthier then others, some diets are better at preserving lean body mass, some diets are better at suppressing appetite -- there are many differences between diets. However, while most of the popular diets will work for taking weight off, what is abundantly clear is that adhering to the diet is the most important aspect for keeping the weight off long term.
What is a diet?
A diet is a short term strategy to lose weight. Long term weight loss is the result of an alteration in lifestyle. We are concerned with life long weight management, not quick fix weight loss here.
There are many diets out there that are perfectly capable of getting weight off you, but when considering any eating plan designed to lose weight, you must ask yourself:
Is this a way of eating I can follow long term?
The lesson here is: any nutritional plan you pick to lose weight must be part of a lifestyle change you will be able to follow -- in one form or another -- forever. That is, if it's not a way of eating you can comply with indefinitely, even after you get to your target weight, then it's worthless.
Getting the weight off is not even the hardest part, keeping the weight off is! If you have diet A that will cause the most weight loss in the shortest amount of time but is unbalanced and essentially impossible to follow long term vs. diet B, which will take the weight off at a slower pace, but is easier to follow, balanced, healthy, and something you can comply with year after year, which is superior? If diet A gets 30 lbs off you in 30 days, but by next year you have gained back all 30 lbs, but diet B gets 20 lbs off you in the next 3 months with another 20 lbs 3 months after that and the weight stays off by the end of that year, which is the better diet?
Another Diet A vs. Diet B Comparison
Let's do another diet A vs. diet B comparison. Diet A is going to supply you with their foods, as well as their special drink or bars to eat, and tell you exactly when to eat them. You will lose -- say -- 30 pounds in two months. Diet B is going to attempt to help you learn which foods you should eat, how many calories you need to eat, why you need to eat them, and generally attempt to help teach you how to eat as part of a total lifestyle change that will allow you to make informed decisions about your nutrition. Diet B causes a slow steady weight loss of 8 to 10 pounds per month for the next 6 months and the weight stays off because you now know how to eat properly.
Both diets will assist you to lose weight. Only one diet, however, will teach you how to be self-reliant after your experience is over. Diet A is easier, to be sure, and causes faster weight loss than diet B, and diet B takes longer and requires some thinking and learning on your part. However, when diet A is over, you are right back where you started.
The missing link for long term weight loss
The missing link for long term weight loss is exercise. Exercise is the essential component of long term weight loss. Many diet programs do not contain an exercise component, which means they are losers for long term weight loss from the very start. Any program that has its focus on weight loss but does not include a comprehensive exercise plan is like buying a car without tires, or a plane without wings. People who have successfully kept the weight off overwhelmingly have incorporated exercise into their lives, and the studies that look at people who have successfully lost weight and kept it off invariably find these people were consistent with their diet and exercise plans.

I was wondering how it got there. Domestic plants do produce seed that could get transferred to a back pack or jacket and drop off when a hiker stops to get an item out of a pocket. It has been cultivated for so long that it is unclear where it was native to.

The genetic diversity among 67 melon (C. melo L.) cultivars from five Japanese seed companies was assessed using 25 10-mer RAPD primers (56 bands) and nine SSR (36 alleles) markers. These cultivars belong to three horticultural varieties (synom. Groups) spanning eight melon market classes: Group Cantalupensis (market classes Earl's, House, Galia, Charentais, and Ogen), Group Inodorus [Honeydew and Casaba melons (market classes Amarillo, Piel de Sapo, Rochet, Negro, Crenshaw, and Tendral)], and Group Conomon (market class Oriental). Genetic variation among these cultivars was compared to variation in a reference array (RA) consisting of 34 selected melon accessions from previous studies. Cluster analysis resulted in 11 of 15 Japanese Oriental accessions forming a group with South African RA accessions. The remaining Group Conomon Japanese accessions grouped either with Casaba or with Honeydew cultivars. Japanese Group Conomon accessions and South African RA accessions formed a genetic group that was distinct from all other accessions studied, and suggests either an Asiatic origin for the South African melon germplasm examined or an independent domestication involving similar ancestors. The majority of Japanese House and Earl market class accessions shared genetic affinities, and were genetically different from the Japanese Group Inodorus accessions examined. These Japanese accessions were most similar to Casaba RA accessions. Japanese Galia accessions were similar to either House and Earl's market classes or to Galia, Ogen, Casaba, and Honeydew RA accessions. Genetic differences exist between melon types that were domesticated from wild, 'free-living' subspecies agrestis and from melo.

Stashed in: Football, Cheerleaders!, Cancer, Ohio
Specifically for pediatric cancer:
Prior to Cincinnati's Thursday Night game against the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 6, the Bengals will present a check to Cincinnati Children's Medical Center in excess of $1 million to help fight pediatric cancer.
With Devon Still's daughter fighting stage four cancer, the team initiated an effort to help one of their own by donating all proceeds from every Devon Still jersey that was sold. Nearly 10,000 have sold already. After a lengthy procedure, Leah Still was cleared of all tumors but her fight to be cancer-free continues. Donations from jersey sales will continue to feed into Children's Hospital until Oct. 20.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
March 6, 2013
Fifteen municipalities or non-profit organizations have been announced as recipients of the new BC SPCA Community Cat Spay/Neuter Grant Program. The program, funded in part by an SPCA donor who was concerned about the cat overpopulation crisis in B.C., will provide up to 1,000 operations and prevent 5,000 kitten births this year in B.C. communities.
"Feral cats are of particular concern on Vancouver Island where colonies have grown as a result of pet abandonment," says Amy Morris, officer of policy and outreach for the BC SPCA. She notes that nine of the grants have been awarded to Vancouver Island communities to help prevent further reproduction.
Across the province, $60,000 has been distributed to fund trap-neuter-return programs for feral cats and to provide low-income cat guardians with access to reduced-cost sterilization procedures for their pets. Seven municipalities have committed to matched funding and nine grants will help First Nations communities.
The grantees are:
Vancouver IslandGreater Victoria (Greater Victoria Animal Crusaders and Dee's Orphan Kitten Fund)Nanoose Bay (Nanoose First Nations Cat Rescue)Ucluelet (District of Ucluelet administered by Ukee SCAT)Port Alberni (BC SPCA Branch)Campbell River (BC SPCA Branch)Comox and Courtenay (Kitty Cat P.A.L. Society)Sayward (Sayward Abandoned Cat Rescue Society)Gold River (Village of Gold River)Pacific IslandsGaliano Island (Rest Q. Animal Sanctuary Society)Haida Gwaii (BC SPCA Branch)Quadra Island (Quadra Feral Cat Group)Western BCRobson Valley (Robson Valley Spay/Neuter Society)Central BCNicomen (Nicomen Indian Band)Squamish (S.N.A.P.P. Society)
Eligibility for funding was determined by evidence of a community problem with homeless and unwanted cats, the ability to match funds within the community and the participation of a veterinarian willing to discount his or her services.
"Pet overpopulation is an issue in every community," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. "The BC SPCA spends nearly $2 million each year on spay/neuter initiatives across the province and we are very excited to launch this new initiative in partnership with municipalities and rescue organizations."
The British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a not-for-profit organization reliant on public donations. Our mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.

Anyone on here CC a .44 magnum revolver or larger? What holster/rig do you use and is it possible to do so discreetly so as to avoid being made by the general public
I have carried a 4" N frame concealed. I use a Fist OWB and a good belt I bought locally. Although I typically carry it openly at the gunshop, I have concealed it while running various errands and nobody noticed. I doubt the "general public" even notices I exist, much less if there's something on my belt. Most are just too busy with their own lives to care. I think any big sidearm needs a good quality leather holster, a sturdy gun belt (NOT a Walmart dress belt) and a good cover garment. Something made of quality material that hides the gun well, maybe with a pattern to break up the outline. Maybe a Hawiian or Guyaberra shirt, an open linen shirt over a t shirt, or a CCW type vest.
The holster and speedloader pouch are from Fist-inc (dot) com. My most commonly carried N frame is a 610 in 10mm and two moon clips fit in the same space as one speedloader. If I carry the .44 I add a Tuff Strip to a pocket in addition to the speedloader in the pouch.
That would seem to be overkill, unless you were loading with .44 special (short). You can conceal any handgun with the right holster, but over penetration would be a huge concern in the larger calibers.
In 10mm I use Double Tap's 135gr in the gun and top moon clip. The last moon clip is Remington's FMJ load with the nickle plated cases. I'd carry Norma 200gr FMJ if I could find any...
I'm sure you all are going to call BS, but when I lived in the frigid Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I carried my 10.5" Ruger Super Blackhawk "concealed" a few times.
Usually, this was when coming home from the range, and stopping to get a snack on the way.
(In MA, you could NOT leave a gun in the car, at all, period!)
I had it in an open-top cowboy holster, and simply draped the belt over my head and shoulder, then put a jacket over it.
The barrel stuck out about 2-3" below the jacket, but no one at McD's seemed to notice.
This is kinda circumventing your question, but I thought that I'd suggest this holster:
Guide's Choice Holster
although, it not very discreet, unless you're wearing a parka or something :wink: I mention it because it just looks like a big revolver ought to live in one :hand10:
I kind of like that holster suggestion for the woods zacii, thanks for that tip, I'll be ordering one of those this week. I am planning on using the Hornaday Lever Action rounds for SD, unless someone has a good reason I should not then I will reconsider. Superhouse, could you post a picture of your 10mm revolver, I really like that concept and was wondering what it looks like. Hows it handle and shoot? You now have me thinking I might want one of those.
I had a buddy that had a custom made model 29 .44 mag with a 2 3/4 barrel. Full house .44s made it into a flamethrower! 3" of fire outta that muzzle when I shot it once at dusk! Definitely concealable and not everyones cup of tea recoil wise, but cool! You could miss the BG and set him on fire with the muzzle blast!
The Duke
mine is a 4 inch, i like the set up of that better for carry and shooting than the 2 3/4 inch snubbie, however i would like to have a gun/flamethrower combo

It stars Mohanlal, Thilakan, N. F. Varghese, Aishwarya, and Kanaka, and features Mammootty in a cameo appearance.
The film was later replaced into Telugu as Adhipathi
Upon launch the film split almost all the box office information becoming a history splitting grosser and one of the all-time greatest smash hit in Malayalam Movies. The film finished 200 times in one cinema and 150 times in three cinemas and made around 21 Crore in total making a 10 Crore profit to manufacturer. Narasimham made around 7 crores as distributor's share. It was the greatest grossing Malayalam film of all-time until the discharge of Friends in 2006, a history which was standing for long six years. The film is considered to be an all-time maximum grossing film in Malayalam Movies when modified to blowing up, considering the high increase in number of launching cinemas, admission rates and money value.

Sri Lanka Cricket Quotes
"There are certain players we got to be patient with. It's not fair when people criticise Thirimanne because we feel that he has got the potential. The guys who are around him, the players, feel that he is good enough so it's unfair to put so much of pressure on him."Aravinda de Silva [Source]

"It is an easy thing to say that the Sri Lankan team is going through a transition but I think if you are an international team and if the management had really put the right thoughts and process into play, we would have been better."Mahela Jayawardene [Source]
"I had examined Malinga in January during my two trips in Sri Lanka and had advised him to take 'minimum' six-months rest. This six-month period can still exceed. The period is still not over now and I wonder why he chose to play in the Asia Cup."Dr. Siri Kannangara [Source]
"During our time, we had only 12 first XI school matches. But now, some schools play over 20 inter-school matches in one season, including their third term matches. That's too much. Scoring 1,000 runs in 20 to 24 matches in not a big deal, compared to the 10 to 12 matches most schools had in the past."Sanath Jayasuriya [Source]
"We have some wonderfully talented players, but our structure needs to be fine-tuned at first-class level. We need to ensure there is more quality, there's better competition and players are continuously tested in skill, temperament, character, mental ability and mental skills so that they can transition from U19 level to first-class, but also first-class to international level with a lot more comfort. At the same time you need continuity, where players are not put in and out of sides. If they're picked to play international cricket they need to be given a good chance."Kumar Sangakkara [Source]

Kyle: No Time Like The PresentMature
"You're mean" I tutted from the bed as Damien wandered off into the kitchen.
I stayed where I was in bed, listening as Damien got whatever food it was he wanted. He came back after a while with pancakes and whippy cream. I put on the innocent school boy face as I tried not to giggle. He tucked into his whippy cream pancakes, feeding me some. He "accidentally" got cream on me and I looked up at him innocently. He licked it off, going back to eating as I giggled. I opened my mouth for some more, grinning as he fed me some more pancakes. He chuckled, still eating.
"Much better than hospital food" I said and he nodded.
I opened my mouth again, wiping some whippy cream on Damien's nose. He pouted at me and I grinned, trying not to laugh as he attempted to lick it off. He grabbed the can, squirting some on my face. My jaw dropped in shock and Damien just had this kind of amused with himself look on his face.
"You're not s'posed to pick on the sick person" I pouted and he ruffled my hair.
I pouted more and he licked the cream off, giving me a small kiss. I kissed back and he put his plate on the floor, straddling me. I looked up at him innocently again.
"Y'know, I think I have just the thing for such a sick little boy"
He nodded, going over to his stuff. He came back over with lube and one of the sex toys from before. I giggled as he lubed it up, kissing me. He pushed it in as I kissed back and I let out a tiny moan. He smiled, wiggling around a little before turning it on.
"Now you just stay in bed and rest up" he fucked off to the couch, taking the remote with him.
I moaned as the vibrations sent hiver up my spine. "Meanie"
He switched on the TV, playing with the controls for the toy leaving me a moaning wreck on the bed.
"Pick a setting and stick with it"
"Fuck" I moaned out when he picked the highest setting.
I heard him giggle.
"You're an asshole"
"I love you too"
I moaned a fuckload more, shuffling into the living room when he turned it off. He turned it back to the highest setting and it took a lot to stay upright.
"Oh my God, you asshole"
Damien flashed me a pervy look and I shuffled over to him as he kept turning it on and off again. I prodded him.
I looked down at my rather obvious boner. "It's not gonna suck itself"
He tutted, kneeling down and sucking me off. He played with the controls while he was giving me head and I moaned, my fingers tangling in his hair. It didn't take long for me to come and I grinne as Damien swallowed, choking a little at first.
"Feeling better yet?" he asked, sitting back on his heels.
I hummed, nodding and he chuckled.
"There still seems to be something in my ass, though. That could be an issue"
"I don't see how it could be, personally"
"It's an issue when you keep fucking around with it"
He turned it on and hid the control. "There. No more fucking around with it" he grinned and I pouted.
"And just how am I s'posed to sit down?"
He giggled. "I'm sure you can manage"
I sat down, biting my lip as the toy brushed against my prostate. Damien held back a giggle and I moaned.
"You're a whore, y'know that?"
"That must be why I've fucked so many other guys" he said, rolling his eyes.
I chuckled and he shook his head a little. I coped with the vibrations for a little but soon enough it was too much for me.
"Turn it off" I said, resting my head on Damien's shoulder.
"Cause I said so"
"You have to get the remote" he said and sat on me.
I whined, earning myself a grin.
"I'll leave you for someone prettier" I pouted and he huffed. "I'm not even joking"
"Tough call. None of the pretty boys in this town are remotely bent" he smirked a little.
"Who said I'm staying here?"
"Even though I'm leaving you for a pretty boy?"
"But I love you" he said, pretending to turn on the waterworks.
"You'd turn this off if you loved me"
He lay me down, jerking me off a little. "But I bought it for you to wear while you're fucking me"
I hummed at his not to subtle hinting face. "We better do something about that, then"
He nodded.
"Couch or bed?"
"Well the lube's in the bedroom" he chuckled.
I picked him up and carried him to the bedroom. He kissed my neck as he clung to me til I put him down on the bed. He got comfy and I crawled over him, kissing him hard when he looked up at me.
"I love you"
He hummed. "I love you too" he smiled, putting an arm around my neck.
I planted a slow kiss on his lips and he matched the speed. I reached for the lube as he jerked me off and stripped him once I grabbed it. He helped with the stripping and I finger fucked him a little while I lubed up, eliciting a moan from him. I gave him a baby of a kiss and he bit my lip.
"Ouch" I smirked slightly but I kind of got the feeling he was too horny to care.
He kissed me hard and I matched it, making him hum. I smiled and he bucked his hips up impatiently. No time like the present, then.

Little Jacob Hubner.
Jake is a nice little boy with a, erm, big problem...
One day little Jake woke up to his mother screaming at him.
"Jake, get out of bed this instant!"
"Okay mommy!" Replied little Jake.
He got out of bed and went down stairs to the breakfast table. He found his cereal waiting for him. As he sat down he picked up his spoon a looked at his reflection.
"Mommy, my nose is getting bigger." Said little Jake.
"Hmm... That's nice dear." Replied his mother from the stove.
Jake was half way done his cereal when his father walked in.
"Daddy, my nose is getting bigger." Said little Jake once more looking in his spoon.
"That's great kido." Said his Dad from behind his paper.
Jake finished his cereal and continued getting ready for school.
When the bus pulled up out side his house Jake hopped on and said to the driver; "My nose is getting bigger." And indeed it was.
"Sit down and shut up!" Yelled the fat bus driver.
When Jake arrived at school he walked up to a little girl and said "My nose is getting bigger."
"Ewww! Coodies!" Screamed the little girl as she ran away.
When class started Jakes nose was as big as a ripe tomato. He raised his hand and annouced; "Teacher, my nose is getting bigger."
"That's enough nonesense out of you young man, to the principals office with you."

I had a mail circular from my local American tire depot store for an $15.00 mail in Rebate on a valvoline full synthetic oil change that read see store for details coupon expires 03/31/14 service was done on 02/01/14 when I asked about rebate and showed them the circular the manager told me to go on American tire depot web site for the form but when I could not find it then he told me it was on volvoline/rewards.com and on that site there was only a reward card that ended on 12/31/13 and was not a rebate but a card good only at the store circular clearly states rebate. I then called the store manager on the phone and he said I don't know what to tell you. I believe this to be false advertising. Not sure where to go with this from here. What a rip off.

Owen: HIDE!
Cindy's eyes widened in stunned surprise and I looked behind and above me to see what had caused that reaction. There was a figure swimming toward us. I couldn't make out who it was but it certainly wasn't Fern, the figure was far to feminine.
That was all that was going through my mind as I shot away. I didn't even think to warn the others, I just swam as fast I could away from the intruder. I reached a small outcropping of rock and took shelter behind it. As I peeked out from behind it I saw that all the others had quickly followed my example...and none to soon because the girl had just reached the spot where we had been. If she had seen us she must have just assumed we had been big fish because she didn't look particularly astonished, which she would have if she had realized she had seen merpeople... she was however obviously looking for something, maybe she had dropped a ring or something somewhere.
It wasn't long before she had to return back to the surface for air however, and she didn't come back down. So after waiting enough time to be sure that she wasn't going to be coming back, we emerged once again from our hiding spots and began to congregate back at the meeting spot.
"Maybe we should meet someplace else?" was the first thing Marina suggested when we were all settled.
"Got any better spots? Because as far as I know this is still the most secluded spot around...not to mention we need to wait here in case Fern comes..." I answered. Maybe a little more acidly than I had intended to.
Marina withdrew looking slightly hurt and I was immediately ashamed of my hurtful remark. "Maybe I can find Fern," Aya offered, cutting in before I could apologize.
For a few seconds I just stared at her before I realized that her powers would let her find him without a problem. I grinned. "That would make this so much easier! Could you please do that?"
Aya blushed a little and nodded before closing her eyes and then disappearing completely. It wasn't long before she was back and looking a little put out. "He's with that girl," she sneered, well, as close to a sneer as a shy girl like her could get to at any rate.
"What girl?" Cindy asked curiously, I could hear the tint of sympathy in her voice.
"The one that just swam down here."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have 3 payday loans, that I paid well over the initial loan amount, 100% or more per loan, before closing my bank account. I sent emails to all three asking for a settlement amount, 2 of the 3 have come back with at most 70% of the current balance. CheckNGo I paid almost $1800 total over 2/3 of this year, on a $500 loan, they still want about $500. The other Beachside Cash, which I can't find any reputable info on, I paid $760 on a $300 loan, and they still want about $400. I have asked for a statement showing account activity (initial loan, refinances & payments) from both, and have asked for mailing address and name of parent company for Beachside. These requests have not been answered. Only emails saying I've only paid on the interest. Is there a way to get these closed?
Did you NOT read the Truth in Lending Statement which informed you that the interest on the loans was probably 300+% for each loan? You have only been paying interest and you still owe the rest under the contracts. They have no reason to settle for less. You can choose to stop paying and start dealing with third party debt collectors in the hope they will violate federal law or file bankruptcy. If they do violate collection law, you could sue if you could find them.

Keeping your website updated and relevant is the basis of good SEO and there are umpteen of ways to get people to visit your site. This year has been dubbed (by some eager marketers) as the year of the QR (quick response) code and the number of people searching for information about QR codes in the UK has nearly doubled since the end of 2010. Originating from Japan, the QR code is basically a 2D barcode that your smartphone can scan; directing you to a link / website, receive a message or even making a call. It ultimately provides additional information that restricted media can't deliver such as photos, reviews, directions, recipes and details of upcoming events.
QR codes are more frequently popping up on TV, posters, billboards, in various magazines and on all sorts of merchandise from t-shirts to y-fronts. They are a fun and different way for those people with smartphones to quickly find out more information about what they are looking for. There's also the intrigue of the unknown about what your going to find and QR code spotting can become strangely addictive.
The BBC got creative with a QR code and tailored it to incorporate their logo. A quick warning for designers and marketers; if you're going down this be careful when tweaking your QR code in Photoshop. Make sure you test where and what you're going to get from your code before printing it to avoid linking to random images or suspect web links!
A great feature we've been experimenting with is to get your QR code to make phone call; it's a great way to get people calling you and generating a conversation. Alternatively, a QR code can generate an SMS text message. There are also some great ideas posted recently by our friends at Econsultancy, highlighting some of the range of QR code usage out there in the marketing mix at the moment.

......This is a found poem. I got the "phrases" from Cut by Patricia McCormick, and Foo Fighters
In the dark, you know they all pretend.
But, I'm finished making sense.
Same old story: I will never surrender.
I sit in the corner farthest from you and you dead cow chair.
Don't expect anything and you won't get disappointed," you say to me.
You're so considerate.
Dont you ever think of me?
Forget what you're told.
If I lay here, if I just lay here with you,
I might forget.
But, it's always the same,
the silence is never ending.
I'm sick of pretending
I'm okay.

QPR 2Taarabt pen 35, Stewart 50
Argyle 0
MOROCCAN midfielder Adel Taarabt produced a master-class in creative play to consign Argyle to a painful 2-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers.
The man on loan from Tottenham showed Premier League quality in running a one-sided first-half for the home sideand was rewarded with a cooly-converted penalty on 35 minutes.
Argyle improved marginally after the break but Damion Stewart's header moments into the second period made it a mountain the Greens never looked likely to climb.
Argyle boss Paul Mariner made three changes from the 1-1 weekend draw with Preston North End. Joe Mason dropped down to the bench to allow Rory Fallon to take his place alongside Jamie Mackie in attack after the Kiwi was used as a substitute on Saturday because of jet-lag from a midweek international trip to California.
Behind them, Carl Fletcher moved back into midfield after playing as an emergency defender against the Lilywhites, bumping Luke Summerfield down to the bench. Chris Barker shuffled across from full-back to take Fletcher's vacated spot in the centre and Gary Sawyer was promoted to left-back.
The other change saw Alan Judge make a timely return from a tight hamstring to replace Chris Clark, who limped out of the Preston match with a similar complaint. Mariner was also stripped of the attacking attributes of Craig Noone because of an ankle knock picked up on Saturday, which meant a return to bench-duty for fit-again David McNamee.
QPR manager Neil Warnock celebrated his debut victory in charge of the R's by naming the same team that secured a fabulous 3-1 win over promotion-chasing West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
There was, however, one significant change on the home bench where QPR's talisman Lee Cook returned from injury to replace Angelo Balanta. One of Cook's companions among the replacements was former Pilgrim Ákos Buzsáky.
After conceding the first goal in the previous seven games, a bright start was essential for the Greens. QPR, unfortunately, repelled any plans for a determined opening by controlling possession in the first few minutes.
The first position of panic created by the home team involved the dancing feet of Hogan Ephraim and his chipped cross from the left only narrowly evaded the near-post run of Hungarian striker Tamas Priskin.
Despite QPR's confident start, Argyle looked a far sturdier side than the one that produced such a flimsy performance in the opening 30 minutes against Preston, although a slip by Karl Duguid allowed Taarabt to dig out a hopeful shot on 12 minutes that David Stockdale gobbled up happily.
Taarabt was again involved six minutes later with a terrific threaded pass through the Argyle defence for the pace of Jay Simpson, who steered his shot back across Stockdale but also, mercifully, beyond the far post.
It was clear that the Pilgrim midfield of Fletcher and Damien Johnson would need to get closer to Taarabt, who was given to license to roam freely by the dual screen Mikele Leigertwood and Alejandro Faurlin provided for the R's defence.
At the other end, the Greens created their first meaningful opportunity of a frustrating opening quarter when Judge swung in a perfect free-kick for the head of the unmarked Kári Árnason, but the Icelandic international seemed to lose his bearings and glanced his backward header well over Carl Ikeme's crossbar.
Árnason's misdirection suffered major retribution within 10 minutes. A drifting cross from the right by Matthew Connolly was aimed for Priskin in the penalty area and Argyle's Iceman was adjudged to have pulled down the Magyar.
First appearances suggested referee Paul Tierney had given the home team a slightly soft opportunity to take the lead and Árnason's bemused reaction to the decision confirmed the general Pilgrim disappointment with the award.
Taarabt swiftly banished any Argyle complaints from his mind to stroke a simple penalty into the bottom right-hand corner, sending Stockdale the wrong way in the process.
If the penalty was harsh, then the scoreline was completely fair. Argyle looked stout in defence but an inability to get moving in the attacking third was allowing Rangers to keep sweeping forward with Taarabt, yet again, dinking over an excellent cross that proved a fraction too far for the run of Simpson.
The half-time whistle was greeted by satisfied applause from the home support but Mariner and his coaching staff marched straight down the tunnel for another rousing team-talk, as the Pilgrims, once again, sought to salvage something from a game where they had conceded the first goal.
Mariner resisted the temptation to make any changes to personnel at half-time, although the option of Mason, Yala Bolasie, Kenny Cooper or Bradley Wright-Phillips would surely be taken if the restart failed to prompt a change in the pattern of proceedings.
There was, however, a reshuffle in the shape of Argyle's midfield, with a diamond formation deployed to combat the influence of Taarabt.
Unfortunately, the Morrocan could not be stopped from set-pieces, and a delightful swinging free-kick from the left found the back-post run of Stewart. The Jamaican defender had all the space in the world to cushion an easy header past the stranded Stockdale for a two-goal Rangers lead.
Within two minutes, the R's won another dangerous free-kick and Taarabt planted a low cross into the box for Priskin, who blasted his first-time effort wide of Stockdale's post.
Mariner had clearly seen enough and he hauled off Fallon for Mason and Judge, who had arguably been the best player in a Green shirt, for the blistering pace of Bolasie.
Despite the changes, the blue and white wave could not be stopped, and Taarabt teased the retreating Argyle defence with a twisting run before unleashing a fearsome drive that flew inches over. The Pilgrims had only one option left: all-out attack, but Taarabt was the perfect man to exploit the space left in midfield.
QPR's next foray forward actually came from a bumbling run by Leigertwood and his eventual shot smacked into the shins of Simpson, and beyond Stockdale's right-hand post.
Argyle will point to the fussy and inconsistent display from Mr Tierney in their post-match analysis, but it was impossible to deny that the better side on the night were winning the game and the Greens, for the first time, were looking a slightly dispirited unit.
The withdrawal of the superb Taarabt on 73 minutes would have briefly cheered Mariner's troops, although the Moroccan's replacement, a certain Mr Buzsáky, can play a bit as well.
Argyle's disastrous evening almost took a final turn for the worst when Árnason and Stockdale both went for the same ball. The inevitable collision gave Simpson a stab at an open goal but the difficult angle saved Green blushes.
It was the final act of a disappointing night. Every season throws up the occasional poor performances that warrant defeat. The problem for Argyle this season has been the good displays have generally yielded one point instead of the deserved three.
Mariner now has the difficult challenge of rousing his troops for the Saturday trip to Coventry City but, knowing his boundless enthusiasm and optimism, Argyle will bounce back at the Ricoh.

25 August 2016: The obvious is he is stunning to look at. He walks beautifully on leash, gets bouts of energy here and there doing zoomies in the park where I am able to let off leash. He is very protective, a guy came over to try to pet him and he barked hard at him.
Definitely NO small children for him. He seems intrigued by other dogs both large and small. He was trying to play with a humongous meatball bulldog while we waited in the lobby. Again, another man actually it was Walter came near and he barked hard at him. He's a magnificent dog who just needs a tad bit of polishing and he will be awesome. He truly loved just sitting next to me outside, probably reminiscing of days gone by.
