Universal Vows to Fight 'Outrageous' Wynn Sale
Japanese billionaire Kazuo Okada's Universal Entertainment Corp. said it will take legal action after Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) forcibly redeemed Universal's stake at a 31 percent discount and accused Okada of improper payments.
Universal (6425), which plunged in Tokyo trading, will "take all legal actions necessary to protect its investment in Wynn," the pachinko machine maker said today in a statement. The company didn't specify any legal remedies.
Okada violated U.S. anti-corruption laws and made cash payments and gifts valued at about $110,000 to Philippine gambling regulators, Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts said in a statement yesterday, citing its own investigation.
"The decision by the Wynn board, which followed a rushed investigation that lacks absolute findings, to redeem Universal Entertainment's nearly 20 percent holdings in Wynn Resorts based on its project in the Philippines is outrageous," Universal said in the statement. "We have not even been provided with the opportunity to review" the report by Wynn's investigation committee, the company said.
Okada visited the office of regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. in Manila today and denied giving cash gifts to the officials, the regulator said in an e-mailed statement.
'Complimentary Accommodations'
Okada told the chairman of the regulator, Cristino Naguiat, that allegations of about $110,000 in gifts to officials were "complimentary accommodations" granted to Okada's business associates from the Philippines and other countries from 2008 to 2011, it said. The billionaire also apologized to the regulator for including the agency and its officials in the dispute, it said.
Wynn redeemed the 24 million shares held by Aruze USA Inc., a pachinko company controlled by Universal, and issued a 10-year $1.9 billion promissory note for the stock, the U.S. company said in the statement. The amount would be 31 percent less than the value of $2.77 billion based on Universal's Feb. 17 closing price of $112.69 in New York, according to the calculations with data compiled by Bloomberg.
Universal Share Plunge
Universal (6425) plunged by its daily maximum 21 percent in Tokyo, the biggest drop since its listing in September 1998. Wynn Macau Ltd. unit rose 3 percent to HK$20.90 at the close in Hong Kong, the highest level since Jan. 27.
"Wynn Macau is rising of the possible removal of an overhang," said Adrian Lowe, an analyst at Mirae Asset Securities in Hong Kong. "But it's not necessarily the end of this saga, there are still a lot of questions left unanswered."
The forced redemption escalates a dispute between Chief Executive Officer Stephen Wynn and Okada, who helped bankroll the company starting 12 years ago. Okada was stripped of his vice-chairman role last year after he accused Wynn Resorts of improprieties in a Macau university donation that's the subject of a lawsuit and a U.S. regulatory inquiry.
"It's a very unfortunate event," Allan Zeman, vice chairman of Wynn Macau, said by phone today from Los Angeles. He declined to comment further on the redemption and bribery allegations.
Legal Wrangling
Last month, Okada sued Wynn Resorts in state court in Clark County, Nevada, to try to force the company to produce spending records. That case is pending. Okada opposed Wynn Resorts' HK$1 billion ($129 million) pledge in July 2011 to the University of Macau Development Foundation.
Wynn Resorts has said the dispute stemmed from Okada's decision to compete by pursuing projects in the Philippines. Okada was removed as vice chairman after admonishments from the board over the plan, Wynn Resorts said. The company said yesterday that it will recommend that he be dropped from the board of Wynn Macau as well.
"This will not change the nature of the company," said Zeman. "Mr. Okada is a partner but he is not involved in the day-to-day business." He declined to give a date for naming Okada's replacement.
New Suit
Wynn Resorts also filed suit against Okada, Aruze USA and Universal Entertainment in Clark County for breach of fiduciary duty and related offenses, according to Wynn's statement yesterday. The filing couldn't be confirmed independently through electronic court records.
Gidon Caine, an attorney for Okada, didn't return voice- mails seeking comment.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has requested information about Wynn's donation to the university foundation. Wynn was asked in an informal inquiry by the SEC's Salt Lake City office on Feb. 8 to preserve information about the commitment, the company said in a Feb. 13 regulatory filing.
The Macau pledge was consistent with Wynn's practice of supporting institutions in markets where it operates, the Las Vegas-based casino operator said. Wynn Resorts said that it will comply with the SEC request and that the stated objection of Okada, who cast the lone dissenting vote among Wynn and Wynn Macau directors, concerned the length of time over which the donation would occur, not its propriety.
'Fair Value'
Wynn Resorts said yesterday that, to protect the company's gambling licenses, it can redeem shares for "fair value" from a person found "unsuitable" under its articles of incorporation. An independent financial consultant helped calculate the fair value, and Okada's stake was redeemed at a discount because of restrictions on the shares, Wynn said in the statement.
"Mr. Okada probably doesn't have a lot of options but to follow through on litigation as well and to defend his position," Christopher Jones, a senior gaming analyst at Telsey Advisory Group in New York, said in a telephone interview. "I will not expect for the legal headlines to cease with this move by Wynn."
The earlier case is Okada v. Wynn Resorts Ltd., A-12-654522-B, District Court, Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas).

Magnetic attraction: Citic Pacific and Clive Palmer
Clive Palmer's relations with his mainland business partner Hong Kong-listed Citic Pacific continue their downward spiral.
Citic Pacific recently denied claims by the mining billionaire that it was paying him A$500 million (HK$3.5 billion) a year. The supposed payments were in respect of royalties in connection with Citic's ill-fated Sino Iron project in Western Australia.
In 2006, Palmer sold Citic the rights to mine magnetite iron ore in return for royalty payments. Citic agreed to build the infrastructure, but the "deal of the century", as analysts call it, because it heavily favours Palmer, has taken a heavy toll on Citic. The original budget of US$2.5 billion has soared to US$8 billion and could reach US$10 billion. That is not counting the bungled US$2 billion attempt at hedging the company's Australian dollar risk that cost chairman Larry Yung Chi-kin his job.
Citic recently lost a dispute over royalty payments to Palmer. A Citic spokesman told BRW magazine: "Matters relating to royalties for Sino Iron are currently before the Australian courts, where we believe these issues will be dealt with fairly."
There are three other court cases between these two parties relating to Sino Iron. The project is three years behind schedule and the date for the first shipment has repeatedly been delayed. The latest hitch has seen it delayed from the end of May until some time in the second half of the year. But don't hold your breath.
Esprit tries new attitude for fit
Esprit yesterday announced the opening of its largest store, in East Kowloon, all 10,000 square feet of it. Located in Megabox, the store will be a "hot spot for stylish and discerning shoppers", according to a company press statement.
Interestingly, the statement adds that the new store "reaffirms the core values of the Esprit brand and is an expression of its positive new attitude". This contrasts with the less than positive "old attitude" of six weeks ago when chief executive Jose Manuel Martinez Gutierrez told investors store closures would lead to a decline in sales with a gradual recovery to be expected next year. The company suffered the ignominy of being removed from the Hang Seng Index last month.
This one's not for shorting
Analysts have been raising their forecasts for revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation for Qihoo 360 Technology.
Brokerage Stifel has raised its target price on the mainland internet company to US$55, while Citigroup lifted its target to US$65, according to Reuters. This is almost 40 per cent higher than its recent close of US$47. This is all rather embarrassing for short sellers Citron and Anonymous Analytics. When the stock was about US$20 last year, they said the company was a fraud and was heading towards US$5. The stock is up almost 60 per cent this year. "Its nothing more than an illusion that defies validation by any third-party source," Citron wrote last year.
Smell of opportunity
The mainland is pressing ahead with its deep sea exploration programme and will hire six new "oceanauts" over the next few months, including two women. The programme already has two such deepsea explorers, says China Daily, but the bar will be higher for the next intake.
As well as being divers they will also have to be scientists, Liu Baohua, deputy director of the National Deep Sea Centre, told a press conference in Beijing recently. Applicants must meet 119 requirements relating to, among other matters, height, weight, age, mental health and knowledge of mechanical engineering and the ocean.
He singled out one attribute: "If a person doesn't smell good, he or she is not qualified to be an oceanaut. Because of the small space of the Jialong, the Chinese submersible, and the long hours they will spend in there, it would be a disaster." One can only imagine how aspiring oceanauts will be tested for their smell.
Now, where to park them
Beijing is rapidly being engulfed by the irrepressible growth of the vehicles on its streets. These numbered 5.31 million at the end of May and are growing at the rate of 20,000 a month. Experts say the capital will need an additional 2.5 million parking spaces over the next two years. In 2010, there were 2.17 million spaces, but they have not kept up with the growth in vehicle numbers.

After taking a year off (non-voluntarily) and coming back to start my Fett over again, I've noticed this community has changed a bit.
First off......What was thought to be exceptional work in the past is now the norm. How awesome is that?! I attribute that directly to all of you helping out newer members and the fact that we all share the same sick twisted need for perfection. The information within this site is ridiculously abundant.
You can slam me for this if you'd like, but the gap between the old and new members doesn't seem like it used to be. I have'nt seen one recent snide "use the search function" reply.
Then you've got the best artisans in here working directly together to provide members with what I consider the best products / work to date. This is truly great. Holy smokes, what I've seen on these boards lately would have given me a heart attack over a year or two ago!
In short, You guys rock.......all of you.
Thanks to the administration for running an invaluable site, and thanks to all who make this feel like a second home.
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.............
I'll shut up now.

Portsmouth Herald, April 10, 2011
DURHAM — On a recent day, fresh from a full day at school, more than 200 high school upperclassmen fill a University of New Hampshire auditorium to continue their academic day.
Though it may seem rare for most juniors and seniors to want to learn more after school, being a part of ProjectSEARCH is a highly sought seat at 10 New Hampshire and southern Maine high schools in the program. Despite the interest, coordinators fear tight school budgets may jeopardize the program.
"With today's budget cuts, it's becoming more evident that programs like ProjectSEARCH could be the first to be cut. The reason is it isn't a competitive sport and has only to do with academics," said ProjectSEARCH Program Director Jim Fabiano, a science teacher at Newmarket Junior-Senior High School.
With the state expected to downshift costs to communities, including possibly cutting its contribution to employers' retirement costs, school districts are bracing for a hit. Newmarket's school district estimates it may have to make up for a potential $300,000 loss in 2011-12. The district is exploring more than 10 layoffs.

In this week's installment: The Vegas "death ray," zero gravity beer and why mayonnaise is more dangerous than snow.
Curses, Foiled Again
Police investigating a convenience store robbery in Ferndale, Mich., by a man wearing a plastic Darth Vader mask identified Jamie C. Hernandez, 41, as their suspect after the store's surveillance camera clearly showed him putting on the mask before pulling a butcher knife on the clerk.
Albanian authorities arrested two men trying to drill a passageway into a bank vault from a store they had rented above it. The noise from the drilling alerted authorities, Tirana police chief Tonin Vocaj said, noting, "We moved in when they were in the last stages of finishing the tunnel."
Dangers of Night & Day
Using artificial lighting at night increases the risk of insect-borne disease for humans, according to Brazilian researchers, who observed that light pollution alters human and insect interactions. The scientists concluded that nighttime lighting lets people stay outside longer, increasing their exposure to insects attracted to artificial lights, possibly because the lights signal the presence of humans. Even when disease-carrying insects don't bite people directly, they may bite pets and animals that co-exist with humans and can pass along disease-causing parasites.
Solar rays bouncing off the gleaming glass of a Las Vegas high-rise hotel pose a risk of severe burns to people lounging at the pool. Local media, as well as some staff and guests at MGM Resorts International's Vdara hotel and condominium, which opened last December, refer to the reflection off the concave-shaped building as the "death ray," although MGM Resorts officials prefer the term "solar convergence phenomenon." The firm installed high-tech solar film over each of the 3,000 glass panes covering the Vdara's south façade, hoping to scatter the rays, but the concentrated sunlight remains hot enough at times to melt plastic and singe hair—and penetrate shade. "My back and the back of my legs started burning, and I ran under a nearby umbrella," said William Pintas, 49, a Vdara condo owner who first encountered the death ray after a dip in the pool. "And I'm under the umbrella, and there is no shading from the light or heat." Pintas, who happens to be a lawyer, said he could even smell his hair starting to burn.
Not everyone is unhappy about the situation, MGM Resorts official Gordon Absher reported. On cooler days, he has seen sunbathers deliberately lay their blankets on the convergence spot for additional warmth.
Drinking-Class Hero
Anticipating a boost in space tourism, Australian researchers are hurrying to launch the world's first beer to be certified for consumption in zero gravity. The beer, a joint venture by the space engineering firm Saber Astronautics Australia and Australian 4 Pines Brewing Company, is to begin testing on board Zero Gravity Corporation's modified Boeing aircraft, which flies a series of parabolic arcs that simulate weightless environments. Flight crews will record data on the beer's taste and its effects on the body.
Although NASA has sponsored studies on space beer and whether it can be brewed in space, current policy forbids alcohol consumption in the International Space Station. In 2006, the Japanese brewery Sapporo teamed up with Japanese and Russian researchers to create a beer, called Space Barley, brewed from barley grown from seeds that had flown for five months on the ISS.
Police charged James Lee Frank, 49, with making terroristic threats and threatening to use weapons of mass destruction after he became upset with his son's performance in elementary school and wanted to withdraw the boy from a certain class. Police said Frank called the school, located in West Sunbury, Pa., and threatened to blow it up and kill the staff. Officials immediately placed the school on lockdown and called state police, who found knives on the front seat of Frank's car after he tried unsuccessfully to enter the building.
Kenneth E. Bonds, 45, admitted shooting a 17-year-old boy in the buttock because the youth refused to pull up his sagging pants. Police in Memphis, Tenn., said that Bonds yelled at the victim and a 16-year-old companion to pull up their pants, then pulled a semiautomatic pistol from his waistband and fired one shot at the 17-year-old, missing him. The youths ran away, but Bonds fired more shots, one of which hit the victim.
Missing the Mark
The anti-abortion group Americans United for Life aired a political ad in Colorado that denounced Ken Salazar for supporting health care reform, claiming the measure would overturn a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions. Actually, Ken Salazar's older brother, Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., is running for re-election. Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator, is the secretary of the interior. As for the ban, President Barack Obama already signed an executive order affirming it.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee pulled a television ad opposing West Virginia senatorial candidate Gov. Joe Manchin III because it depicted the state's residents as hicks. The ad, filmed in Philadelphia after a casting call seeking actors with a "hicky blue collar" look, shows men in flannel shirts and baseball caps posing as West Virginia voters worried that Manchin will side with President Obama if elected.
Next Time, Try the Snooze Button
Fire investigators blamed a house fire in Niagara County, N.Y., on an electric alarm clock beneath a pile of clothes.
Food in the News
A load of mayonnaise that fell off the back of a truck in Japan's Hyogo prefecture caused an eight-vehicle pile-up that injured three people. "What probably happened is that cars traveling behind the truck squashed the bottles of mayonnaise, spreading it on the road," police official Masaaki Miyazaki said, adding that the dressing's eggs, vinegar and oil make it "more slick and dangerous than snow."
Heavy rains have ruined South Korea's cabbage crop, causing a kimchi shortage that has driven up the price of the national dish and created a black-market cabbage trade. The city government of Seoul responded to the crisis with a kimchi bailout program, absorbing 30 percent of the cost of about 300,000 heads of cabbage that it bought from farmers. South Korea's government announced a temporary reduction in tariffs on cabbage and radishes imported from China, although consumers fear a recurrence of a 2005 crisis, where Chinese-made kimchi products were contaminated by parasite eggs.

Nailing flange between two windows?
I'm looking to install new construction windows in my house prior to new siding. Most of the windows are close together, probably a 2x4 between them. How do you deal with the nailing flange? Each bedroom has two windows right next to each other, the living room has three in a row. Do you just overlap them? Trim them in some manner?
Not going to work with single windows.
Order the windows as a set with a mullen strip between them.
Reframe the window and header.
Reframe and install smaller windows.
Pick one.
Got a picture?
1 Attachment(s)
if there is a 2x4 between the windows just put the windows up and nail the flanges on top of each other ..
Done all the time here.:thumbsup:
You will have a mullion cap between the windows that will cover whichever way you do it. Check the entire opening for level, if it's close start with the window at the highest end, (1) level it nail the bottom then plumb and nail top & sides, then install the next using the level to align and nail the first corner of the second one, then level & nail the bottom. (2) repeat step 1 for each window. If it is too much out of level you may have to; relevel the sills, use a long straight edge to align all 2 or 3 windows a level as possible, from the high end, step each one down as little as possible, or worst case install slightly out of level but square. They should look relative to the ones you take out. If a house is way out of level most people might see the windows do not match the house if they are level. If your friends come over with a level to check if your windows are level, I wouldn't invite them back. Even worse is if you wallpaper with a patterned paper, it will show if the windows don't align with the house. You can choose whichever way you like, it's your house.
Unless u r handy I would order the window pre mulled. It's not that hard but u gotta do it right. Good luck on the install at least it's on the first floor. Those windows r 1 unit no 2x4 between that's just the jamb thickness from the 2 windows. Always better to have a pro order the windows this way u r not responsible if ordered wrong
No mulling is a way to make 3 windows 1 window u take off flanges snd the windows get screwed together with a waterproof sealing between them
From what I see in the pic is one window made of three windows mulled together one solid header no 2x4 between the window. If u want to check pull off trim around window on the inside if there is no 2x4 between the windows it is one unit. If there is 2x4 between windows then there r 3 individual windows in which case yes u would be able to install them individually with overlapping flanges starg with the middle one shimming off the wood sill installing level then install 2 side windows level with the middle one
I would agree with Kaschmd. I'd be very surprised if there are any studs between those. Very conventional, just mull caps over the buck frame. You can either do inserts and leave the existing mulls in place, or if you are doing a full frame removal, the windows will need to be mulled. You can have them shipped separately and "field mull" them, or order them factory mulled which would be the preferred method IMO.
Piece of trim ripped down to fit in between either cedar or azek( or other form of PVC based trim
Thanks for all the info everyone, this is going to be very helpful! I'll pull the trim off to see exactly what I'm dealing with and report back.

HID options
Seems like its a little bit of a beat up topic on this site but i am curious as to your opinion. I have never ran HIDs or have any knowledge of them. I want to run a dark housing with the whitest brightest ouput possible. anyone have pointers?
also is it possible to run both high and low beams as hid? Id like to have the ccfl halo as well
Re: HID options
For the dark housing, I strongly recommend the CCFL Gen 3 projectors. They look nice and have a great output. Throw in a pair of 5000K HID's and you'll light up a frogs rear from half a mile away.
It is not recommended to put HID's in your high beams. As they take a few moments to warm up and turn on, you would then lose your ability to flash your brights at someone or other times when you would need them on immediately.
We have quite a few vendors here, such as XenonDepot that sell high-quality bulbs.
Re: HID options
Exactly what CameronG said! :thumbsup:
From what I have heard HID's in the low almost negate the need for high beams anyway. For how little they are used and the fact that they would be cycled off and on they really aren't practical for the highs. Look on ebay, you can easily find the gen 3 projectors in black housing with the ccfl halos.
And definitely check out xenondepot for a hid kit, many forum users rate them highly and they offer a discount code for forum members to use.
Re: HID options
^^^ I agree with everything they said. HID's in the high beam is pointless and not very practical. Here is a picture of the Gen III's to help you find them on Ebay. They use the same factory bulb sizes as the OEM headlights so it will be 9006 for the Low Beam and 9005 for the High Beam.
I made a small how-to guide in our DIY section that might be of some help.
Re: HID options
I agree with the other 3 100%. I have Gen III's, they look good and have great output both in the city and even better in the country side.
Re: HID options
If you want the brightest and whitest light output I would recommed 4300k bulbs...I have 6k and love them, but they def have a blue hue...stock temp is 4300k so that is prolly the best given your requirements.
Re: HID options
Very true. As long as you stay between 4300K - 6000K you'll be fine.
Re: HID options
ok thanks. I was going to pm you amelie because you seem to talk about lights quite often but i wasnt allowed to yet with my low post count. thank you all
Re: HID options
Re: HID options
so pretty much buy some projectors those gen 3s and then just build up a hid kit or do they sell complete ones?
Re: HID options
One of the most important aspects with any setup is a wire harness/relay. These bolt on to the battery terminals and ensure a direct connection and it provides a benefit of safety for your electrical system as it can't handle the initial amount of electricity.
Both are good kits but you could go with the Volt to save on costs since this is your first time. The Volt is $95 compared to the Xtreme at $160.
Re: HID options
alright kit is all orderd i will post some pics when its all said and done. this week has been expensive ive ordered a 4 inch lift, husky liner floor mats, suguaro shackle mounts, projectors and hid kit. damn and i need tires now and probably rims

Standing water a threat
INDIO, Calif. - Mosquitos are on the hunt for standing water. So is vector control.
"We have our equipment calibrated. We have teams going out hitting our structures that will hold water," said Rod Chamberlain of the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control.
Standing water you see on the side of roads and in washes...
"Thats our responsibility. Catch basins, inlets you see, a lot of them have underground holding areas, they're designed to capture storm water," Chamberlain said.
It takes three to five days for standing water to get dangerous.
"Thats why we kind of get in preparation for everything that's flushed out now. The basins full of water. The ones containing water for a few days to a week, that what we're concerned about," Chamberlain said.
Wednesday is day three, so if there's standing water around your home, act now.
"In your backyards, dump out containers of any standing water you have. It's too soon for any serious breeding for mosquitoes to got through their cycle to become adults. If you dump it out now you will have no problem at all," Chamberlain said.
Eduardo Bicamonte lives in Las Brisas Apartments, home to a lot of standing water right now. He's done his part.
"I emptied all my buckets I swept all my sidewalks and everything to not create any mosquitoes on it," Bicamonte said.
So far this year in the Coachella Valley, 21 mosquitoes and seven chickens tested positive for west nile virus. No humans tested positive, and vector control wants to keep it that way. The less water to attract mosquitoes, the safer we all are.

The Pleasure of Herbs: A Month-by-Month Guide to Growing, Using, and Enjoying Herbs by Phyllis V. Shaudys
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Always enjoying going through this book and discovering new possibilities for growing herbs or using them in crafts/recipes. Shaudys love and knowledge of her subject is evident throughout. Nice pen & ink illustrations and a good "brief encyclopedia of herbs" at the back. Worthy for any herbalist's shelf!
Somewhat dated now, but turned me into an herb-growing, potpourri-making crazy person.

Diet and Nutrition Q&A by Betty Kovacs
My grandmother has osteoporosis, and I'm worried that I may get it, too. Which foods should I eat to prevent osteoporosis?
Author: Betty Kovacs, MS, RD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
It's great that you are looking to do something about osteoporosis now. Prevention is very important because even though there are many treatment options for those who have it, there is no cure once you do. Your diet plays a key role in this. The key areas to focus on are:
Calcium: This is a mineral that your body needs every day for many functions. Calcium plays a role in maintaining the strength of your bones and teeth, as well as the functioning of your heart, nerves, and blood clotting. Unfortunately, the majority of the population is not taking in the required daily amount of calcium. When this happens, your body will use the supply that you have from your bones to support the other functions that it is needed for. For this reason, it's imperative that you meet your daily requirements every day. Your dietary sources of calcium are:
There are things in your diet that can interfere with how much calcium your body can absorb:
You can usually meet your needs by having a diet balanced with high-calcium foods. If you need to take a supplement to reach your requirements, speak with your physician about the best one for you. Your body does not absorb more than 500 mg of calcium at one time, so do not try to get all of your calcium in at one meal.
Vitamin D: This is a fat-soluble vitamin that comes from food and from your body being exposed to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The UV rays from the sun trigger the production of vitamin D in your skin. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption, so it is as essential as calcium is. The sources of vitamin D are:
Protein: Maintain a balance of high-protein foods in your diet. These foods include meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, cheese, beans, and dairy. You can find out how many servings you need each day at www.mypyramid.gov.
Phosphorus: This supports building bone and other tissue during growth. There is a wide availability of this in foods, so it is not difficult to get adequate amounts in. Sources of phosphorus are:
There are numerous other vitamins and minerals that can play a role in preventing osteoporosis. If you would like a detailed list of these, including their food sources, you can go to http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/bonehealth/chapter_7.html#Nutrition to read about them in Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon General. Hopefully, looking over the list of foods will make you realize that a balanced diet, with foods from all of the foods groups, is the ideal way to reach all of your nutritional requirements.
Thank you for your question.

Does anyone know of a website where I could ask computer problems for free?
I just tried asking on this one website, but it wanted me to pay...
First of all post the question here to see if someone can help you. Just "computer problems" does not help us. Is this a software question? Is it computer programming?
You might begin by perusing some of the links below:
There are all kinds of free computer forums for developers and programmers on all topics, languages and technologies.
Most of the forums will not do computer homework for you, they are to help programmers solve a problem, gather ideas, or help with debugging.
If you are taking a computer course and need help, you can as Mme Sra said, post your question, and the problems you are having. Be specific, the same question can apply to different computer languages, and the answer and help would be different.
If you are a good self learner, you can read-up the multitude of tutorials available on the Internet and take it from there.
I just wanted to know if anyone knew I forum where I could fix my old computer
This was not a homework question
Fixing computers hardware requires a lot of diagnostic tests to determine the problem and consequently find the solution.
If you have no clue as to how a computer works, you are not likely to get it fixed by yourself by getting hints at a forum. It would be faster and easier to give the job to a computer technician.
On the other hand, if you open the back of the computer frequently, can tell a disk from the CPU, have changed the power supply from time to time, have formatted the disk, installed and configured operating systems, yes, forums would definitely help. Try:
There are many professional people who volunteer their help to people in need.

Precious, precious caffeine
Here's a cute video on coffee and its deliciously addictive properties.
Remember when flying was classy? Well, toss that memory out of your head thanks to US Airways
Jill Tarlow has amazing luck, but she needs a better camera or a steadier hand. On her June 9th US Airways flight from Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Phoenix, AZ, she managed to snap this shot of a man wearing a natty little outfit normally sported in boudoirs or Polk Street in SF (hi Dad!). Of course, it's raised a ruckus around the unequal treatment for drag queens vs. young African-American men wearing saggy pajama bottoms, and US Airways are being accused of discrimination.
It's not discrimination, folks. It's fashion and safety. The guy above is hot, hot, hot. You don't mess with that level of sass. And can you see those shoes? If a flight attendant tried to make him cover up, she'd have to be wearing Kevlar to protect her from those stilettos. I fully support her act of self-preservation.
Bon voyage!

Too tired to finish the wine: My NYC trip in brief
Here is the evidence of my crime. I confess. I didn't finish this bottle of wine. Now, in my defense, I didn't open it, but I still feel somehow responsible. Forgive me. It was a long day.
My whirlwind trip to NYC created much carnage, but I hope this is the last of it. I landed at JFK at 11:30pm and departed the next day at 7:30pm (after an hour and a half delay). My highlights were...oh, none. I saw my hotel room (with a view of the Empire State Building--yawn), parts of TriBeCa as I walked 15 minutes to a meeting the next morning, another nice hotel cafe and meeting room, and an office. The day was capped off with a 1 1/2 hour drive back to JFK in the pouring rain, a mildly awful meal at someplace misnamed the Soho Bistro (it had aspects of neither of these two descriptors), and then another hour and a half delay on the tarmac.
In all, I was on a plane for 12 hours, slept for about 3 of the 7 hours I spent in my hotel, and worked for another 7 hours, with an extra 2.5 hours of taxi time added on for good measure.
Your honor, I plead temporary insanity. I won't let it happen again.

Soylent green isn't people; it's sewage mud [The Future]
Every so often, I get a glimpse of the future or the true nature of humanity, and I am horrified. These Japanese scientists have discovered a method to transform human waste--the aforementioned sewage mud--into a kind of meat-like product. Poop steaks, if you will. The bacteria of this sludge provides most of the protein for this future ground chuck, and I'm sure a generous dash of Worcestershire sauce wouldn't hurt either. Watch the video and see them make meat. Meat from feces. Yay science.
Are we really so desperate that our scientists and engineers have to focus their energies on such horror-inspiring projects since they clearly know we're doomed and/or running out of food and non-poop-based foodstuffs? Apparently so.
But, I'm here to say that I refuse to eat fecal food. I will eat Vienna sausages before I eat doodoo dogs, turd tartar, or, well, you get the idea. It's my culinary/dietary line in the sand.
I am curious to see what Nopa could do with this stuff, though.
Bon appetit!
Farewell TriBeCa
It was a brief journey to NYC this time, and I did not get to try one of these tacos. In fact, I've barely eaten at all or done anything but sit in a hotel or office. But, it's always fun to visit this slightly dingy, crowded, exciting, colorful, oddly charming, and humid neck of the woods. Until next time.

Bill Maher and Jane Lynch in "Weiner Talk"
I'm sorry, Tony. I had to post it. I'm still on your side, though.
John Daly #1 and #2
It's National Iced Tea Day (if you're an amateur, that is)
Every day is Iced Tea Day here at IT&S, so a national holiday around the drink that fills my veins, while charming, hardly seems necessary. It's like that family relative who doesn't need an excuse to have a cocktail or two (or ten) who hates New Year's Eve because it's like amateur night.
In the interest of keeping things interesting (and as a nod to our favorite aforementioned relative), let's add some alcohol to this holiday and make it a party. Now, I don't like sweet tea. I prefer my tea bitter, like my heart. But, there's nothing wrong with an Arnold Palmer once in a while: 1/2 iced tea, 1/2 lemonade (a little sour, not too sweet). It's a good way to mix it up on a hot day. But, it's after 5pm, folks, so let's stop kidding around.
Go to the cupboard and get the good vodka. Now, when no one is looking, pour a little into your Arnold Palmer. Then pour a little more. Now you have a John Daly. So grab your glass, grab your golf clubs, and go hit an alcohol-tinged hole-in-one in honor of John Daly, iced tea, and holidays around the world.
John Daly recipe
2 oz vodka (don't even THINK about using the cheap stuff)
2 oz lemonade (organic, fresh-squeezed? Hell, pour it from a plastic jug for all I care, but it can't be too sweet)
2 oz tea (delicious, life-affirming, bitter black tea, please)
Mix ingredients with ice, strain into an iced-filled glass, and garnish with a lemon if you desire. If you're feeling extra adventurous, add some mint. Go wild!!

To Cut or Not To Cut: That is the Question in San Francisco's Circumcision Debate
The best part of this whole political debacle, however, is the type of participation and conversation it generates, especially from our online citizens. I couldn't resist reading the comments on CNN's story. I hope you enjoy my contribution to this particular comment thread.
As for the CNN article I linked to above (video here), I have to say that the author's arguments are absurd. Take this brilliant reason to perform unwarranted, unnecessary surgery:
Besides being an important aspect of some religions, circumcisions improve hygiene, which is effective in limiting urinary tract infections and the transference of STDs. And speaking of sex, having a circumcised penis saves the young man of the potential embarrassment of having a new partner look at his nude body and say "What in the hell is wrong with your... penis."The author seems to think that a socially-constructed aesthetic is a legitimate reason to perform surgery without consent. What the hell is wrong with your. . . thinking? I weep for this country some times.
Top 5 most disgusting things I've seen on the streets of San Francisco
1. Those dental floss picks. Who is flossing their teeth on the streets?! I see them everywhere.
2. Condoms. This is almost too easy to have in the top five. So, how about the time I saw a woman have a bowel movement on Gough Street? Yeah, human excrement. That's better than condoms.
3. Random globs of phlegm. Carry a tissue or swallow it. I don't care which, but don't make me step in your mucous. Seriously, this grosses me out more than just about anything.
4. The remnants of the burst balloon that some little monster threw at me from his or her window once. This was disgusting for another reason and was the moment I became truly anti-children.
5. Bloody junkie tissues probably take the cake, though.
Happy Tuesday! Don't forget to look down as your walking!

The Wind-Up Bird Preludes: Literature inspires music

Can't wake up and have money to "burn"? Try the Shredder Clock!
How is this for the Alarm Clock of the Future? Endorsed by the anti-Suze Orman, the Shredder Clock will destroy whatever you put inside it
And, no snoozing, lazy butt. It's either get up or lose your annual bonus or the baby's birth certificate or your Muni FastPass. I think this would be perfect for my friend Shannon who used to keep three alarm clocks with staggered alarm times in various positions around her bedroom to make sure would actually get up. Alas, Shannon, this doesn't exist yet, so you'll have to be content with this until someone in China reads this and makes a million of them. Sweet dreams!

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib at different dose levels in combination with decitabine in patients with accelerated or blast phase Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN), which is a group of diseases of the bone marrow in which excess cells are produced. You may qualify to take part in this research study because you have a MPN blood disorder called myelofibrosis (MF), essential thrombocythemia (ET), or polycythemia vera (PV) that is accelerated or blast phase. Accelerated (10–19% blasts in the blood or bone marrow) and blast phase MPN has been a difficult disease to treat. The term "blasts" refers to immature cells found in bone marrow. They are not fully developed, and therefore, do not yet carry out any particular function within the body. We want to find out what effects, good and/or bad it has on you and your disease.

For centuries East Anglia and the Netherlands have fought a common enemy - sea and river floods.
In the first of two programmes Paul Heiney traces the history of East Anglia's efforts to keep the water at bay.
He looks at Cambridge fenland, explores the 17th-century drainage works of Dutchman Cornelis Vermuyden and discovers the possible consequences of global warming on this vulnerable region of Britain.
The second of two programmes in which Paul Heiney explores the battle against flooding in East Anglia and the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands he visits the Kinderdijk site, where 19 water-pumping windmills stride across the landscape; stands on land newly reclaimed from the former Zuider Zee; and sees the massive storm surge barrier that was the Dutch response to the floods of 1953.

Background: Low tidal volume (Vt) ventilation for ARDS is a well-accepted concept. However, controversy persists regarding the optimal ventilator settings for patients without ARDS receiving mechanical ventilation. This study tested the hypothesis that ventilator settings influence the development of new ARDS.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients from the Multi Parameter Intelligent Monitoring of Intensive Care-II project database who received mechanical ventilation for ≥ 48 h between 2001 and 2005.
Results: A total of 2,583 patients required > 48 h of ventilation. Of 789 patients who did not have ARDS at hospital admission, ARDS developed in 152 patients (19%). Univariate analysis revealed high peak inspiratory pressure (odds ratio [OR], 1.53 per SD; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28 to 1.84), increasing positive end-expiratory pressure (OR, 1.35 per SD; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.58), and Vt (OR, 1.36 per SD; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.64) to be significant risk factors. Major nonventilator risk factors for ARDS included sepsis, low pH, elevated lactate, low albumin, transfusion of packed RBCs, transfusion of plasma, high net fluid balance, and low respiratory compliance. Multivariable logistic regression showed that peak pressure (OR, 1.31 per SD; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.59), high net fluid balance (OR, 1.3 per SD; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.56), transfusion of plasma (OR, 1.26 per SD; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.49), sepsis (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.00 to 2.45), and Vt (OR, 1.29 per SD; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.52) were significantly associated with the development of ARDS.
Conclusions: The associations between the development of ARDS and clinical interventions, including high airway pressures, high Vt, positive fluid balance, and transfusion of blood products, suggests that ARDS may be a preventable complication in some cases.

Implicit learning: Below the subjective threshold
In this review, we consider three possible criteria by which knowledge might be regarded as implicit or inaccessible: It might be implicit only in the sense that it is difficult to articulate freely, or it might be implicit according to either an objective threshold or a subjective threshold. We evaluate evidence for these criteria in relation to artificial grammar learning, the control of complex systems, and sequence learning, respectively. We argue that the convincing evidence is not yet in, but construing the implicit nature of implicit learning in terms of a subjective threshold is most likely to prove fruitful for future research. Furthermore, the subjective threshold criterion may demarcate qualitatively different types of knowledge. We argue that (1) implicit, rather than explicit, knowledge is often relatively inflexible in transfer to different domains, (2) implicit, rather than explicit, learning occurs when attention is focused on specific items and not underlying rules, and (3) implicit learning and the resulting knowledge are often relatively robust.

Once he missed the 47 yarder he sould have realized that anyithing longer than 40 was a pipe dream. This is another case of it wasn't his fault. It never was his fault it was always the Dc or the OC or the K. Never did the HC take any of the responsibility.

In his defense, when he was here we normally beat the teams we were supposed to beat but never beat any of the better teams. He would have beat the raiders last week. Although that could be because the talent here was good enough to overcome him against weaker teams but not good enough to do so against the more talented teams. The playoff loss in Pittsburgh was all him

Ok, so I wanted to get to the bottom of the CAI/Short Pipe Intake/Factory Box debate on intake air temps. In short, I wanted to know if I would be sucking in hot air with the Injen Intake set up since it pulls air in around the eng compartment and is not a true CAI. While I appreciate it alleviates some flow restriction, I did not want to offset that improvement by sucking in air if the air was significantly hotter than through the OEM snorkel or some other CAI method. While I don't know what gains are to be had by the reduction of flow restrictions offered by the Injen set-up, I struggle to believe it is on the order of 15HP. Dyno readings on turbo/IC engines will be all over the map depending on whether the hood was open, heat soak was in play, what carpet blower they used to cool the IC and radiator, etc. Until formal charts are released with the conditions noted, we can only speculate.
Also in question is how much the IC will pull heat out. The amount of heat any given IC removes is a function of its soaked temp, the delta T between itself and the air flowing over it, and the flow speed. The hotter the air blowing through it is, in comparison to the outside air, the faster is can remove it. What is for certain is that an IC can only remove a portion of the heat coming in, and if you put hotter air in it hotter air will come out. An IC will not output air at a constant temp while you vary the input temp. In short, hotter air in means hotter air out, though it's not a one to one relationship. Thus, you want the coldest air coming in your air filter.
This study does not track air temp coming out of the IC, although it could be measured directly or with a Torque app. The reason I didn't, or haven't yet, is because the intake air temp does not react quickly due to the IC's thermal capacitance and heat soak effects. It is much harder to compare effects of changes by tracking the air temp coming out of the IC unless you control lots of conditions such as idle time, time driving at X speed, the IC's steady state temp, etc. In fact, I have seen the intake temp coming out of the IC take several minutes to cool down driving at 50 mph+ after idling only minute. For this reason, and knowing the hotter air coming in leads to hotter air coming out, I chose this first study to focus on air coming in.
The set up for baseline measurements is shown here, where I have a TC in the snorkel intake, one outside the air box (motor compartment ambient air), one inside the air box behind the air filter, and another outside the passenger window to take ambient temps. Data was logged with a 4 channel data acquisition unit sampling at 10 Hz.
In the second test, I removed the snorkel to simulate what the air being pulled in the filter would be if it were the Injen set-up. The TC used in the first test to measure the snorkel temp was now used as a second measurement of eng compartment temp. Here's the two results graphed. The results are alarming to me.
In summary, snorkel does a great job of keeping the intake temps low. The average temp increase was 6 degrees for 25 minutes of mixed driving. Had I not idled so long in the beginning, it more realistically would be about 4 degrees.
The open box test did not fare so well. The average air temp rose to 26 degrees, about 20-22 degrees higher than without the snorkel. If you sat at idle (as in before a race as a red light, for example), the intake air you get to start the race off with is 45 degrees higher than outside! It takes a minute of average driving to bring it down to pre-idle temps. You better believe you IC is soaked with heat now after pumping in air at idle that's 45 degrees hotter than with a snorkel! If you drove on a the highway, flushing out all the engine heat with cooler air still leaves you sucking in air that is at best 10 degrees hotter and it takes about 5 minutes of this to get to this point. Even more interesting is that the intake air temp in the air box shoots UP at WOT. So the heat your IC is taking out of the charged air is ejected right back in to the air intake box. So the effect of flushing out the eng compartment with cool air is negated by the recirculation of heat back into the air box.
If we use the standard estimate for HP change due to air temp change, Delta HP = HP *1(-sqrt(T1/T2)), where T1 is the original temp in Rankin, and T2 is the new temp in Rankin), then not considering the IC effects we are losing an average HP of 7 horsepower sucking in the hot air. This is average, not peak. We can speculate how much of the extra heat the IC would take out but two things are certain. One, it won't take it all out and hardly any of it until you reach some kind of speed, and Two: Your IC will be soaked so hot during idle you'll never recover from the lost power until to drive at speed for a while.
I am sure many out there will reject this study, but I'd like to see someone refute it. My conclusion is a true CAI is in order for out turbo charged / IC engines, and in the real world the Injen intake or others like it do not likely offset the loss of power due to air temps with their improved flow characteristics. So I cannot recommend it, especially for several hundreds of dollars.
Thanks, hope you enjoyed my Sat afternoon project!

- - planning a trip Boston->Virginia Beach (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/72792-planning-trip-boston-virginia-beach.html)
planning a trip Boston->Virginia Beach
So my friends and I (~4 people total) want to take my boat from Boston to Virginia Beach at some point this summer, perhaps July. We'd try to make a three week trip out of it, which would include sailing down there, spending time there, and sailing back. As some of you may know, I have rather limited sailing experience (and my "crew" even less): an 8-day ASA class, a handful of weekends sailing Cape Cod Mercuries in the Charles River, and about 6 day trips around Boston Harbor in my Gulfstar 37. Do you think this is a foolhardy endeavor? We would of course get more practice in my boat before heading off, I'm thinking a circumnavigation of Cape Cod in June, ideally including an overnight passage to Provincetown so we get overnight experience.
I'm wondering your thoughts on the following...
I have made that passage a number of times and I am quite familiar with Virginia Beach. There are no marinas of easy entry in VA Beach suitable for your boat. With your experience and that big new boat I would say sail around and party in our Mass. Bay ports. Check out Gloucester. You can still have a great time staying local and you won"t be needing a liferaft or EPIRB. But get a dinghy.
FishSticks, thank you very much for the input. I'm sure we'll do plenty of puttering around New England (and maybe Long Island) this summer. The trip we're planning is supposed to be more of a getaway to someplace further, like a road trip, except by sea :) New England also has a sad lack of beaches with warm water, even at the height of summer. The original plan was to head to Bermuda, but I quickly became convinced that we lacked the necessary experience, and also lacked the funds to properly outfit the boat for such a voyage. Virginia Beach was chosen because it has a reputation as a fun place and it has "beach" in the name. We're open to other possibilities, as long as they have beaches with warm water and a social scene with people of our age group. I don't want to make it sound like we're a bunch of alcoholics (we're not), nor is this trip meant to be a bender, I was just trying to communicate that we want a destination tailored to people of our age group.
What do you mean by there are no marinas with easy entry? That implies there are some marinas suitable for my boat? I've heard tales of how terrible the NJ coast is, and NC, but I can't recall ever hearing anything bad about VA. Virginia Beach appears to be right at the entrance to the Chesapeake, which everyone says is the sailing capital of the country! Thus I am confused about what makes this area unsuitable.
I think the trip sounds like a good one but....
I would wait until you have a little more experience and some funds for some upgrades.
FishSticks gave some good locations and I'll add some more:
As to the equipment, the EPIRB is a personal choice. You could be in range of the coast guard for that trip and if you had a newer VHF with DSC then I would feel ok with out it. Make sure you file a float plan with a friend or relative.
But the life raft or dingy, this would be a must for me. If money is short, look on craig's list for a roll up inflatable. I have seen a lot of them for cheap that look to have very little use. Usually the person wants to upgrade to a hard bottom. If you had that inflated and strapped down to the bow that would be good.
You might also want to look into joining a local cruising association. CANE is pretty active and cheap to join (I just joined at the boat show for $20 for the year). You do not have to own a Catalina to join. They plan trips where you can get experience and have someone close by in case you need help. This year they have a shake down to P-Town from the Boston area and then a 10 day around the Cape.
Good luck and I hope to see you out there this summer. What marina/YC do you sail out of?
rmeader, I live here in Va Beach and what fishsticks was referring to about marina access for your boat is accurate. There are two entry's into VA Beach's marinas and both have bridges to low for sailboat accessibility.
That being sail there are plenty of marinas in Norfolk which is just right inside the Chesapeake Bay on the Norfolk side. This is where I kept my boat and they are many choices and price ranges. The trip to the ocean front from there is about a $35.00 cab ride. And yea there is plenty to do in Va Beach for your age group.
But, before making that kind of trip I would suggest if nothing else renting the life raft and getting an epirb. There is a lot of ocean out there and hugging the coast that time of year with the southerly winds will be almost impossible.
I also meant to ask if you knew about Active Captain for planning out trips? It is a great resource.
I also just saw your reply to FishSticks. You are right about the lack of good warm water beaches around here. But I still think that VA might be a little far for your experience level. But hey, you may be more risk tolerant then me (or rather my Wife because I would probably to that trip with your level of experience too).
If you can sail around in the Mass Bay/Cape Cod area comfortably now, then you can go to VA!
Pick your stops and watch the weather for your comfort level. Enjoy the trip!
Thanks everyone that has answered so far. I think I can manage getting a dinghy and an EPIRB. I'll have to see about renting a life raft; I can't afford to buy one. I was not previously aware of Active Captain. I spent the last half hour or so playing with it. It seems really useful. And it easily points out the low clearances on those bridges that FishSticks and SailKing1 pointed out (why would they build them so low???).
The Norfolk area looks pretty good, and it seems about as close as I can get. $35 for a cab seems a little steep, though, especially two ways each day for several days... Are there any other areas that I should check out, perhaps north of the Chesapeake? I didn't see any likely candidates in my couple minutes of looking up there on Active Captain. My current insurance policy won't let me go further south than the VA/NC line.
What about Cape May NJ or Lewes DE.
Cape May has beaches and night life and a short distance to Wildwood NJ.
Lewes DE is close to Rehobeth Beach, another great party town.

Hey Jungleholics!
I joined Audiojungle last year but only added a few things.
I started really using it at the start of March this year as I work as a Magician/Musician in London and as most of my work is at night I needed something to occupy myself during the day!
I've got 15 items in my portfolio and have found that so far I have sold at least one or two of almost everything I have uploaded but I am wondering if that's just because they are new.
One of the tracks I put up last year has sold every month since, if that happened with a lot of tracks then that would certainly justify the time spent on each one. (As well as the great enjoyment I get from making music!)
Do you guys find you sell tracks that you made a long time ago or is it mostly sales soon after the upload?
Hey dude!
16 in my portfolio. I have one track which is my 'hit', but apart from that I have a few that sell every now and then and some that sold at first never to sell again haha. If it wasn't for that one track, which makes up for over half my sales, I wouldn't have made much money at all.
Sorry this is so long winded! Basically, most tracks I've written sold at first and that's it. I guess the key is to upload as regularly as you can, the high quality tracks in the hope that some of them will become popular.
You've had a healthy amount of sales for 16 tracks well done!
My mate James has had about 2300 sales from 130 items, if you got your portfolio bigger I'm sure you would have similar results!
I used to sell older tracks randomly here and there, but now it seems to only be newer tracks that get snapped up (then fade away into the abyss of the other 100,000 items after a couple of days of course). Probably because my portfolio was smaller in the beginning, so the 'older tracks' still seemed 'new' if you know what I mean.
Apart from the tracks in my portfolio that have a history of selling well, my experience is that older tracks aren't found after a while – that's based on view stats as well. All that said, the Easter hangover still hasn't shaken off on AJ for me, so the love is low sales-wise at the moment regardless of the age of my tracks it seems!
AJ staff – how about you give me a forum super star badge for complaining about my sales so much? I'm a hero in that way. Or even one of those moustache icons? Anything?
I guess the best approach us to keep creating and hopefully the occasional track will do really well!
Why old tracks would sell any worse than new tracks? New tracks get 1-2 sales at most when they are on first page – this is as good as nothing actually. The only sales possible to achieve are these coming from external promotion – and this is working even better for old tracks, because building a good network promoting each track takes time.
Sometimes I sell a old track for the first time (I have over 100 Items) and I'm surprised! Even more when it's sold a second time short after that !
Nothing is impossible i guess
I haven't been around AJ long enough to really have a track record but like a lot of others – I get the usual 1-2 sales on new tracks and then they go dormant. For those with 0 sales I after 12 months I might consider trying them elsewhere.

A lot of the team lived in a tiny apartment in LA with Carlson for a long time.Apparently the neighbours thought they were all gay.
And Rodrigo Medeiros (who lived there too) took 6 years (i think i remember him saying)to go from Purple to Brown even though he was winning everything.
I hope there are lots more clubs doing similar things. I know of a few and it really is great. BJJ Schools future champions program springs to mind.
if i recall correctly the neighbours thought they were all gay and carlson was a pimp/sugar daddy being surrounded by all these buff dudes lol.
didn;t he hold rodrigo back because of his ego or something to teach him a lesson? i cant remember the exact story though
The fact that Shakey does this, as Carlson did many years ago, speaks volumes about the man. It is one of the many reasons I am proud that Tillery Combat BJJ Team is affiliiated to me.
thank you both for your kind words.Quote:
I am very impressed by that.Jiu Jitsu is for everyone,rich and poor and Shaky is doing great things for his community.OOOOSSS Shaky.
I live in a borough called Blaenau Gwent which is arguably the poorest county in the Uk. I grew up with a single mother who had no money so i know what it feels like to want to do something but not be in a position to afford to do it.
In my community it is very close knit where everyone knows everyone, so I know which youngsters genuinely cant afford the classes.
I would love a £1 for everyone that says to me "Is it ok if I pay you double next week Shake". lol. I am fortunate to have financial support grants from the Princes Trust and YOS which means I can accomadate the youngsters that struggle to pay.
My payment is the satisfaction they give me from watching them progress.

Admission of Dr. Allen Roses, Vice President of Genetics at GlaxoSmithKline, 4th largest pharmaceutical company in the world - a most astounding admission that's an open secret within the industry but never before publicly voiced by a senior drug boss at a scientific meeting, Dr. Roses admitted most pharmaceutical drugs are ineffective. He stated that "More than 90% of drugs only work in 30-50% of the people.''
Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.
Total number of U.S. deaths caused by medical errors ranges from 800,000 to one million every year. This figure represents at least six jumbo-jet crashes every day for an entire year. Further, the cumulative 10 year estimate of deaths from medical errors is more than eight million Americans.
Not only was Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski's discovery of cancer-defeating antineoplastins forbidden, the American medical authorities tried for years to jail the doctor. Only public outcry saved the career of this courageous physician. Antineoplastins saved countless lives and Burzynski's discovery is now available to the public, but only after many trials and tribulations for him.
