2015 Audi RS7 Review
We dig the Audi A7 and S7 sedans for their beautiful looks and near perfect overall execution, but the real mindbender is the RS7. Packing an awesome 560-hp twin-turbo V-8, it recently took the top podium spot in a comparison test against the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG and the BMW M6 Gran Coupe. Just a few days ago, Audi released information and photos of the updated 2015 A7 and S7, but the RS7 was conspicuously absent. Apparently, the four-ringed brand felt that the beastliest member of the family served its own turn in the spotlight.
Like its lesser siblings, the RS7 gets new, sleeker LED headlamps and new taillights that abandon helix-decorated innards in favor of horizontal and diagonal bars. The new lights look more technical and contemporary, and they provide a visual link to the most recently unveiled Audi models, such as the third-generation TT. The upper corners of the grille have been clipped, as they were on the A7/S7, but the RS7's front and rear fascias look essentially unaltered. But that's because they're still fairly fresh, as the über A7 was just launched last summer. The upshot: The RS7 remains the best-looking member of a pretty handsome family. Inside, the RS7 gets a few "discreetly revised" components, including the gauge cluster, the airflow controls for the vents, the paddle shifters, and the Quattro emblem on the instrument panel. Be glad we told you, because you likely wouldn't notice otherwise. What you will be able to notice is the upgraded infotainment system, which is faster in operation and more capable than ever. It incorporates LTE-based connectivity and an optional improved night-vision system. Oh, and there are a few new colors and wood trim options. There are no changes to the RS7's powertrain, which is very much okay with us. This hatchbacked monster still features a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that cranks out 560 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 1750 rpm. (It will still deactivate cylinders under light load to increase fuel efficiency. How thoughtful.) Top speed is governed at 190 mph, and the sprint from 0 to 60 mph should take the same 3.4 seconds that we measured from the pre-refresh comparo car.
That's supercar territory, and, again, we're cool with everything in the engine room, but it's a bit surprising that Audi didn't bump output to the level of BMW's 575-hp M5/M6 Competition Package and Mercedes' 577-hp CLS63 AMG S-model.The face-lifted RS7 will launch in Europe in the third quarter of 2014 and will arrive here in early 2015. Pricing should stay close to the current model, which starts at $105,795

Anemia - B12 deficiencyMacrocytic anemia
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is a low red blood cell count due to a lack of vitamin B12. Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues.
See also:
- Megaloblastic anemia
- Pernicious anemia
Your body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. In order to provide vitamin B12 to your cells:
- You must eat plenty of foods that contain vitamin B12, such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products.
- Your body must absorb enough vitamin B12. A special protein, called intrinsic factor,helps your body do this. This protein isreleased by cells in the stomach.
A lack of vitamin B12may be due to dietary factors, including:
- Eating a vegetarian diet
- Poor diet in infants
- Poor nutrition during pregnancy
Certain health conditions can make it difficult for your body to absorb enough vitamin B12. They include:
- Chronic alcoholism
- Crohn's disease, celiac disease, infection with the fish tapeworm, or other problems that make it difficult for your body to digest foods
- Pernicious anemia, a type of vitamin B12 anemia that occurs when yourbody destroys cells that make intrinsic factor
- Surgeries that remove certain parts of your stomach or small intestine, such as some weight-loss surgeries
- Taking antacids and other heartburn medicines for a long period of time
You may not have symptoms. Symptoms may be mild.
Symptoms can include:
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Fatigue, lack of energy, or light-headedness when standing up or with exertion
- Loss of appetite
- Pale skin
- Problems concentrating
- Shortness of breath, mostly during exercise
- Swollen, red tongue or bleeding gums
If you have low vitamin B12 levels for a long time, you can have nerve damage. Symptoms of nerve damage include:
- Confusion or change in mental status (dementia) in severe cases
- Depression
- Loss of balance
- Numbness and tingling of hands and feet
Exams and Tests
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. This may reveal problems with your reflexes.
Tests that may be done include:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Reticulocyte count
- LDH level
- Vitamin B12 level
This list may not be all-inclusive.
Other procedures that may be done include:
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to examine the stomach
- Enteroscopy to examine the small intestine
- Bone marrow biopsy if the diagnosis is not clear
Treatment depends on the cause of B12 deficiency anemia. For treatment of anemia due to a lack of intrinsic factor, see: Pernicious anemia
The goal of treatment is to increase your vitamin B12 levels.
- Treatment may includea shot of vitamin B12 once a month. Persons with severely low levels of B12 may need more shots in the beginning. You may need shots every month for the rest of your life.
- Some patients may also need to take vitamin B12 supplements by mouth. For some people, high-dose vitamin B12 tablets taken by mouth work well, and shots are not needed.
Treatmentmay no longer be needed after Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or alcoholism is properly treated.
Your doctor or nurse will also recommend eating a well-balanced diet.
Outlook (Prognosis)
With treatment, patients usually do well.
Long-term vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nerve damage. This may be permanent if you do not start treatment within 6 months of when your symptoms begin.
Possible Complications
Women with low B12 levels may have a falsely abnormal Pap smear. That is because vitamin B12 affects the way certain cells, called epithelial cells, look.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have any of the symptoms of anemia.
You can prevent anemia caused by a lack of vitamin B12 by following a well-balanced diet.
Shots of vitamin B12 can prevent anemia after surgeries known to cause vitamin B12 deficiency.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can reduce or prevent complications related to low vitamin B12 levels.

And being a fan of Linux myself, Im obviously very interested. Yesterday, I decided to pay $4 to get this game and have spent more than an hour playing it since then.
The game is actually still in beta and after the final version got released, the price will go up to $5. Linux Tycoon is available for both Linux, MacOS and Windows so you dont need to be a real Linux user to play that game and although the game is about building Linux distro, it doesnt require any actual programming at all. For Ubuntu and other Debian based distro, there are .deb packages ( 32 and 64 bit) so it's very easy to install and play.
In Linux Tycoon, players will build a Linux distro with some packages and try to make it become the most successful distro around. You will have to compete with 20 other distros whose names are parodies of popular Linux distros like Ooboontoo, Plebian, CuteLittleDoggy, OpenSnuggle ... The trick to win the game is to choose the right packages to put into your distro, keep the size of the distro as small as possible and reduce the bugs. There are 5 factors for you to consider when choosing a package:
- OpenSource: the packages you choose should be opensource or you will be called some bad name by the opensource community
- NerdCred: the more NerdCred you can accumulate in your distro, the more likely the volunteers will come to help you. And you can use these workers to fix bugs.
- Popularity: Each package has its own score for popularity, the more popularity points you have, the more users your distro will appeal.
- Size: the size of the package, you should try to keep you distro as small as possible
- Bugs: each package will contain a number of bugs and the total bugs of your distro will increase over time. So you need to assign workers to fix bugs and release new versions more often. There are two types of workers, the paid workers, harder to get but more efficient in work and the volunteers, easy to get but not as efficient as paid workers.
And after you pick the packages, just hit the "release version" button and a message like this will appear
And each time after a new version got released, you will have the feedback in the middle column of the game window. It's usually a review from some Linux magazines ( including Linux action show where Lunduke works IRL) which either gives your distro a thumb up or compares it with stinky cheese. It also gives you hints about how to improve your distro in the next releases.
You can know how well your distro is doing by observing the stats in the left column, which shows you the hype, the amount of bugs, the size of the distro and the number of paid workers and volunteers you can use to fix bugs. And to release a new version, just click on "Edit packages" then hit " Release Version" again and watch the new version of your Linux distro rollilng.
The idea behind Linux Tycoon is really unique, as Lunduke said in his site " probably the only Linux distro building simulation game in the universe". However, to make the game more interesting , in my opinion there should be more packages to choose and more other factors to decide the success of the distro. Beside I wish it is possible to change the font, theme and size of the window. Hopefully this game will be really better in the final version. All in all, if you are a real Linux fan, you should check this unique game. Click here to go to the homepage of Linux Tycoon

By Matt Krantz, USA TODAY
Instead of hitting it big on Wall Street, emerging companies are hitting the wall.
Late Tuesday, Internet address registrar Go Daddy Group, parent of GoDaddy.com, yanked its initial public stock offering. Just days earlier, Alien Technology, a bar-code tech company geeks have buzzed about for years, pulled out.
They highlight a troubling trend for companies trying to tap the public capital markets. This year, 37 IPOs have been yanked, on track to be the biggest number of withdrawals since 2001, says Richard Peterson, senior researcher at Thomson Financial. It's yet another sign Wall Street suffers from a bad case of IPO indigestion. "The IPO market is in the doldrums," he says. Companies aspiring to be public are seeing their dreams dashed because of:
•The shaky market, especially for tech. Why did Go Daddy withdraw? "I can sum it up in two words: market uncertainties," CEO Bob Parsons says.
The tech-packed Nasdaq (NASDAQ) is down 6.6% this year. "We think things will be dismal for a while," Parsons says, adding he is prepared to delay the IPO for years. Go Daddy hoped to go public so it could expand more rapidly and let existing shareholders cash in.
•Poor IPO performance. Investors aren't exactly lining up to buy IPOs, given their performance. IPOs this year, on average, are down 2% from their offering prices, Renaissance Capital says. The uncertain economy has made IPO investors become picky, says Sal Morreale, IPO tracker for Cantor Fitzgerald.
•High-profile IPO blowups. The colossal blowup of Internet phone company Vonage (VG) is scaring IPO investors and IPO hopefuls alike, says Joel Greenberg, partner at law firm Kaye Scholer. Investors that got in at the IPO price got drilled, losing nearly 60%. "Vonage shook people up," he says, though he thinks that profitable firms with more stable businesses can still go public.
Similarly, Alien, a money-losing maker of equipment used for advanced bar codes, isn't solid enough for IPO investors looking for profits, says Francis Gaskins, editor of IPOdesktop.com.
•Skepticism over private-equity backed IPOs. Investors are looking askance at companies brought public by private investors who have piled debt onto the companies and use the IPO proceeds to pay themselves a dividend, Gaskins says. With interest rates rising, these deals are riskier, he says.
Morreale thinks more marginal companies, which filed for IPOs when stocks were rising in the spring, will pull out when they see what they face. "As the environment becomes more volatile, people start looking at IPOs through the microscope more," he says.

Lawmakers propose junk food tax
02/10/09 5:49PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
They want to help close the state's budget gap by imposing a sales tax on soda and other beverages that contain a lot of sugar.
But the Vermont Grocers' Association is strongly opposed to the bill.
VPRs Bob Kinzel reports:
(Kinzel) Chester Rep. Kathy Pellett says the idea of taxing soda came to her when she realized that more than 30 states currently tax soda or candy.
Pellett says it's likely that the state will need some additional revenue to meet its budget challenges this year and she thinks this tax makes a lot of sense:
(Pellett) "My feeling was we just have to look outside the box and non traditional ways and raising a tax on something like soda a non essential item that you really don't have to have."
There are estimates that a soda tax could raise several million dollars a year and this number could grow to between 5 and 10 million dollars if candy and other junk food were included in the legislation.
Pellett says it would be fine with her to expand the bill:
(Pellett) "I thought that might be going too far people wouldn't be willing to accept it and as I've seen how legislation goes sometimes it's better to start off smaller and it can grow and quite frankly if this is an idea that the Ways and Means committee will take up somebody else may want to expand it to include other items as well and I know it will probably will be a difficult sell because of the border states with New Hampshire not having any sales tax and that's always an issue."
That concern is a major problem for Marty Beattie - he's the owner of Marty's One Stop in Danville:
(Beattie) "We're seeing more and more people that come into Vermont traveling there's a campground right beside my store and they're coming in and they're making their purchases before they come to Vermont and they're pulling in to Shaw's in Littleton mostly in New Hampshire where there's no sales tax there's no bottle redemption.........it really puts us in a different playing field than the stores that are in New Hampshire."
Beattie says he's also concerned that the legislation would tax beverages that contain a high sugar or artificial sugar content:
(Beattie) "They call it a soda tax but it's actually a beverage tax and it depends on how the product is made actually items that were in your grocery department like 42 ounce cans of like Hi C juice that really don't contain 50% juice those would be taxed."
The House Ways and Means committee is scheduled to take testimony on the bill later this week.

Reds 5, Braves 4: After Devin Mesoraco's pinch-hit homer tied the game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Shin-Soo Choo delivered his second homer of the night as host Cincinnati stunned Atlanta.
Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel (0-1) was one strike away from ending the game, but Mesoraco hit a low fastball over the outstretched glove of center fielder B.J. Upton to knot the score at 4. Four pitches later, Choo launched another fastball over the fence in center as Cincinnati evened the series in dramatic fashion.
Jonathan Broxton (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory. Choo finished 2-for-5 – adding a solo homer for the Reds' first run in the third – and Joey Votto tallied two hits as Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker won his 1,600th career game.
Brian McCann singled home two runs during a three-run first and Kris Medlen allowed two runs on four hits over seven strong frames for the Braves. Kimbrel blew his third save, matching his total from all of last season.
Brandon Phillips' sacrifice fly brought Cincinnati within 4-3 in the eighth, but Eric O'Flaherty struck out pinch-hitter Todd Frazier with the tying run on third to end the inning.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The game started 35 minutes late due to rain. … Cincinnati pitchers retired the final 14 Atlanta hitters. … McCann's single was his first hit of the season. The Atlanta catcher made his season debut Monday after off-season shoulder surgery.

laser hair removal or electrolysis or ipl?
What's the Best Hair Removal Treatment?
Doctor Answers 18
For large portions of the body, laser is the way to go...
- For large portions of the body, laser is the way to go – it is efficient and does a great job of hair reduction. I use a Candela device that has a freezing device that chills the skin, making it more comfortable for the patients.
- Electrolysis is ok for small areas and for hair that is fair.
- IPL is getting better for hair reduction but most devices are not powerful enough to really do the job.
Best Laser Hair Removal Treatment
When considering a hair removal laser treatment, consumers should ask the following questions:
1) Is this laser FDA approved for hair removal on my skin type and hair color?
There are several lasers for hair removal available. No one laser is ideal for every individual. Depending on your skin color and hair color, some lasers will be more effective than others.
The Ruby Laser: This is the "original " hair removal laser. Its deep red color at 694nm is very well absorbed by the melanin pigment in hair, making it an excellent choice for fine and light hair. However, because melanin is present in the skin as well, the Ruby laser cannot be used on patients with skin that is not very light, including tanned skin. Because of this limitation, slow repetition rate, and relatively small spot size, Ruby lasers have become less popular for laser hair removal in recent years.
The Alexandrite Laser: This laser produces reddish light. With its large (up to 18mm) spot size and high repetition rate, the Alexandrite laser is the fastest hair removal laser, and is suitable for rapid treatment of large body areas in patient with light to olive complexion. An entire back can be treated in less than 30 minutes.
The Diode Laser: This laser, consists of a high power laser diode emitting infrared (invisible) light at ~800-808nm. The longer wavelength allows deep penetration into the skin and safety for darker skin types, but with less efficacy for lighter and finer hair. A smaller spot size means a longer treatment. That may mean a more expensive treatment. A longer treatment may also increase discomfort and a need for topical numbing
The long pulse Nd:YAG: This laser can be used on all skin types, including tanned skin. Large spot sizes and fast repetition rates allow large areas to be treated quickly. Then disadvantage is less effective clearance for fine and light hairs than some other hair removal lasers.
IPL devices are not lasers, because they emit non-coherent light of many different wavelengths. However, because most of the light energy is in the shorter wavelengths, treatment of darker skin types is less effective than with the appropriate laser.
2) What is the spot size of the laser? A larger spot size offers not only the advantage of faster treatment, but also additional safety and efficacy. As spot size increases, a lower percentage of the delivered light energy scatters outside of the treatment area, increasing the depth of pentration, and allowing a lower energy setting to be used for treatment.
3) What type of cooling system is the laser equipped with? It is important that a laser have consistent cooling in order to ensure patient safety and comfort.
4) Is there a board-certified physician on site? Although complications with new lasers for hair removal are rare, in the event of a complication, you need to know who will provide medical attention.
5) Are treatments sold in a package or one at a time? Because every person will respond at a slightly different rate, and some individuals will require more treatments than others for complete clearance, most laser centers will offer individual sessions.
6) Are complimentary consultations and spot tests available? You should be able to meet the technician and experience a pulse or two before committing to a treatment.

Laser Hair Removal
In my experience the Cynosure Elite laser hair removal machine is the most effective. It is the Cadillac of Laser Hair Machines. I have personally been treated with our machine and the results are fantastic. As with all machines, it will take several treatments to maximize results, but even after one treatment, I see in myself and our patients significant results.
Good Luck.

Laser Excellent Modality for Hair Removal
Laser hair removal (LHR) is safe (when performed by a trained physician or in doctor's office), effective, and more efficient and cost-effective in the long run. There are several lasers which can be used for LHR and it is important that the correct laser be used for the skin type being treated. The Alexandrite (755nm) and NdYag (1064nm) are generally considered the best lasers for LHR, but the NdYag is safer on darker skin types as the Alexandrite attracts pigment. As long as the hairs being treated have color (pigment), the treatment will be effective. We usually recommend 6 to 8 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal, long-lasting results. LHR is expensive, but when you consider that the results are long-lasting if not permanent, there is a huge cost savings long-term. LHR also is less irritating to the skin than shaving, waxing or electrolysis.

What's the best hair removal treatment
After using several types of Intense Pulsed Light machines, including the Isolaz, I have decided that the Alexandrite Laser (755 nanometer wave length) is the best for skin types I to IV Fitzpatrick. (Very fair skin to moderately dark skin) and the YAG Laser is best for very dark skin types, (AS LONG AS THE HAIR FOLLICLE IS DARKER THAN THESKIN).
There is always some pain with these precedures, therefore we apply a anumbing cream 30 minutes before the hair removal.
Blond, white and red hairs don't respond to Laser or IPL hair removal. Electrolysis may be a good choice for limited areas, but the success rate is low.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal has been the gold standard for the past 10 years. Laser hair removal is more efficient and permanent.

Laser hair removal - generally your best choice
Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is generally the most effective, efficient, safest, and ultimately cheapest option for unwanted hair. Hair needs to have some color (pigmented) for LHR to be effective. Blonde, Grey, peach fuzz, and even most Red hair will not respond to LHR. For these types of hair, electrolysis may be best.
While IPL's can be effective in lighter skin types, they generally are not as effective as our best lasers, have a higher potential side effect profile, and can not be used effectively in darker skin types.
It is important to use the right laser or light source for your skin type. The Alexandrite laser (755nm) is generally the most effective, but since it is attracted by pigment so well, darker skin types (Indian, African Americans) cannot normally be treated with this laser. For darker skin types, I feel the best lasers are the Long-Pulsed Nd:Yag lasers (1064nm).

Nobody's asking you to do that. In fact, we tend to encourage positive and constructive discussions.

However, we are a community, and we work together. When you join a community, especially one that has been around for a couple of years, it's polite and respectful to ask questions about how things work, and why they work the way they do.

We generally don't work well when others try to impose authority on us. We work well when people create their own authority within themselves, and do things. For example, rather than saying "Noisebridge, you need a line of credit!", it might be a good learning experience to ask our treasurer if we have one, and if not, why. If it turns out we actually would benefit from one after all, then perhaps going and making it happen, and then reporting to the list "Hey, after talking to the treasurer, we decided to create a line of credit! Here's how it works, and how you can participate!" would be excellent, in my opinion.

I realize it might not make much sense, but that approach does work, and Noisebridge is a great place to practice it.

Egg donation and breast implant augmentation surgery
As mentioned by Dr. Aldea, there may be greater risk of clot formation and or DVT with PE due to both your hormonal status or the proximity of one surgical procedure to another (generally increased especially with pelvic surgery). I assume your surgeon is aware and is using prophylactic measures. If not, it is in your best interest to do so,

Safety of Breast Augmentation after Egg Donation
It's hard to advise you on the safety of a Breast Augmentation days after egg donation without knowing WHICH meds you are taking to bring down ovarian swelling. Some of these hormones MAY raise the risk of blood clot formation (DVT) and as a result of blood clot movement to the heart.(PE).

MORE than 200 rolls of barbed wire worth thousands of pounds were stolen from a Stourport industrial estate.
It happened at Wilden industrial estate between 2.30am and 7.15am on Monday.
The thieves struck at McVeigh Parker, which supplies fencing, farming and equestrian items, and removed a section of metal fencing to drive in a vehicle.
They took 270 rolls of barbed wire, worth £4,500, from an outbuilding.
Some of thewire, which it is believed may have been taken for scrap, was wrapped in green cardboard.
Police would like to hear from witnesses or anyone with information, including anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious at the industrial estate in the early hours of Monday, or knows where the barbed wire is now.

The big winners: Pragmatic centrists
By Richard Benedetto, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - Voters are tired of partisan politics and instead want candidates to stress pragmatic, centrist solutions to nagging problems, judging from the results of Tuesday's mostly local elections.
Neither major party dominated. Republicans and Democrats were each able to point to satisfying victories and disappointing defeats.
"I won't pretend that there is any clear partisan message to be drawn from the results," said Republican National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson.
But if any signal came through of what this year's elections say about what may happen in 2000 or what candidates should do next year to win votes, it was this: Voters are growing more willing to cross party lines if they think a candidate is pitching commonsense solutions to problems.
"It's message that resonates with voters," said Democratic National Committee National Chairman Joe Andrew.
Candidates this year downplayed their party ties and stressed practical solutions to nagging problems involving education, crime, the environment, economic development, government budgets and neighborhood renewal. With candidates from both parties stressing such themes, in some races voters were nearly split. Among the closest: the gubernatorial race in Mississippi between Democratic Lt. Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and former GOP congressman Mike Parker.
One day after the voting, complete but unofficial returns showed Musgrove ahead by less than 1 percentage point. The winner may eventually be decided by the state's House of Representatives.
Other results:
Despite the shakeups and cliffhangers, there were still some big races where the outcome was never in doubt.

Any idea when the Champs div week 1 matches will be validated and the div rolled on to week 2? I thought week 1 ended on monday.
On Tuesday 8pm gmt I will be having the "even numbered fouls" exhibition match vs Karandraz Lizards with my Professional Elves. Spectators welcome.
My first played match, when so bad i cannot believe, 2 deaths, 2 badly hurt. 0-4 loss :'(
i dont even know what nuffle was thinking...
oh, and he didn't foul once.
i had 6 players on the pitch for the entire second half...
(Karthon) A Helfy run 0 - 4 Chaotic and Fabulous (Chillydusk)
Clear skies graced the players as they entered the pitch.
The referee declared the High Elves as the kickers and Chaos as the receivers.
The front line of the chaos packed a few warrior and beastmen, ready to start the bashing.
Touchback and the drive starts with Chaos in possession!
The first Chaos Warrior tries to bash and!!! double skulls... reroll, double push... That wasn't so bad, says the second warrior as he prepares to attack the second elf on the line! Double block!! FFFFUUUUUUUUUU!
This shows how nuffle hated this match, afterall chaos wearing pink is not the most appealing thing!
What we were not ready for was the followup turns, when the elves attempted to block and got injured.
Followed by a dodge roll next turn with the catcher getting killed after he tripped.
The turn after a guy gets pushed by a pushed elf into the crowd, and guess what... yeh also dead.
After this, the game gets kind of blurry since there was too much blood around but there was some other guy injured doing a GFI if I recall.
The second half started with more bashing and all 6 elves were playing dead most of the half while Chaos did a couple passes and TD. But every time one tried to get up, he would trip and fall again, and again, and again...
There is only one conclusion to take after this match, Nuffle may not like pink, but he sure hates High Elves!
Other stats from the elves:
Failed 7/33 dodges
Failed 3/10 gfi
Failed 2/4 pickups
Many of these were turnovers and most were 2+.
My heart goes to Karthon for being a good sport and staying till the end. Hopefully his team can recover from the 2 dead catchers, but it will be hard...
I actually fouled once! Just not when he had 6 on the field. I rather score a couple tds then bash an already dead team :).
Also, his MVP went to one of the dead catchers :(.
Can anyone validate the game please? I'd like to see my options on the levelling guys.
On the contrary. My chaos dudes wear pink and it looks great, and they've won three out of four games so far.
Sunshine & Lollipops 1 - 1 Smoking Popes in Div I.
The first half was characterised by a big brawl in which a number of undead were knocked out before the humans eventually scored. The second half was characterised by a big brawl in which a number of humans were knocked out before the undead eventually scored.
Division L can probably get validated and moved onto week 3 because we're efficient and awesome.
Division G
[Delusibeta] Street Sweeping Scrubs 1 - 2 The Leaflickers [BigC90210]
It appears we now know where Karthon's luck went. First half was a demonstration in how to use elves to bash, scoring three Miss Next Game-worthy injuries in quick succession (one of which could have been a -1 AV had I not apothed it to a standard MNG injury). What should have been a turn 2 touchdown was delayed to turn 6, while I impotently attacked a cage consisting of 80% of the other team. Second half was a bit more fair, with a passing play leaving a blitzer alone by the try line. Then Cyanide happened and a blitz failed to register the Scrubs' first ever touchdown.
Then the elves had the ball, everyone on the team formed a cage and they sauntered to a second touchdown. Oh wells.
So in short I was outplayed, although Nuffle definitely rigged the injury table in the first half.
Snoozer has conceded his Div 2 match with myself. Validate me!
On the contrary, I was full of admiration for just how carefully you thought it through and actually found a perfect response to score the touchdown.
I would have just grabbed the ballcarrier, right-clicked on the endzone, and chanted to Nuffle.
Match report on my match with Sandman will be coming...at some point.
Div A: Global Warping (SKA, 20phoenix) 3 - 0 Anupshi Rises (KHE, Dog Pants)
Skaven Vs Khemri is a recipe for violence and fast plays, and both sides hoped for more of their particular style than the other as they lined up for the kick. Global Warping kick first and the Anupshi Rises Thro-Ra takes it and follows a pivoting push up the left flank. In a poor display of play, however, a gap in the offence is left down the sideline which a Gutter Runner quickly exploits. The Thro-Ra is sacked and the ball briefly in Skaven hands before being knocked loose and recovered by the Thro-Ra again. Needeing to escape the melee, the Thro-Ra makes a series of uncharacteristic dodges to plunge into another melee further up the field. Despite a numerical advantage to the attackers, Global Warping recover quickly to put rats behind the ball, and land a blow on the ball carrier once more. This time the fight over the pigskin (at least we all hope it's pig) is larger scale and the ball ricochets around a little before settling on the Khemri side but between several Skaven. A Gutter Runner breaks free and recovers the ball before heading lineward, and a Stormvermin following for cover is clothelined by a nearby skeleton. Thinks look grim for the rat's crushed windpipe, but their sawbone manages to keep him alive. With no players nearby to prevent a touchdown, Anupshi Rises take to hitting their opponents. The Rat Ogre is next to leave the pitch on a stretcher, and the rest of his team flee after the ball or stay on the ground. The Khemri follow, kicking any they catch up with (and one of the ones who didn't get up, resulting in a skeleton getting sent off), as the Gutter Runner showboats on the touchline. Eventually a Blitz-Ra gets within arm's reach, and the runner steps over the line to score.
With most of the half spend fighting or avoiding fighting there's little time left for more play, but in the short time before the half-time whistle goes the Khemri manage to injure another rat.
Global Warping receive for the second half, and the ball is delivered directly to a Gutter Runner near the halfway line. He retreats to toss the ball over to a Thrower, but makes a hash of it. Meanwhile another Gutter Runner goes deep into the defence, as Skaven are wont to do, but is killed stone dead by a Thro-Ra for his tenacity. In return the fallen rat's teammates send a Blitz-Ra to the injury dugout by feeding him to the crowd, and injure a skeleton with good old-fashioned punching. Away from the carnage, the Thrower picks the ball up and travels forward, and again the ball hits the ground during the transfer to another player. By the time the ball is moving forward again there is a scarcity of unmarked Skaven, and it is handed to a Stormvermin as the attacking group is squeezed against the right sideline. A veteran Gutter Runner is handed the ball and he deftly slips away from the attacking mob, through the defensive line, and across the touchline.
As Anupshi Rises receive again there is little time to claw back a touchdown, and no hope of anything but a loss, but the daring tactics come out nonetheless. An unmarked Thro-Ra beyond the half way line makes too tempting a target for his like teammate, who pitches the ball into the middle of nowhere with a terrible impression of a pass. The Skaven are quick to take the ball and run it over the Anupshi line to underline the point that Khemri don't play Elfball.
With a couple of minutes to spare another kick-off sees the Khemri burst forward in a second desperate attempt to move their scoreline off zero, and a Blitz-Ra could make the end-zone before the whistle if a Thro-Ra could land the ball on him, but a mob of Skaven put pays to that and the end of the game is marked instead by a rare completed pass between the two Thro-Ras.

But what of the costs? Even asking such a question may be thought a sign of insufficient resolve at best and appeasement at worst. However, while cost estimates are often ignored when war is debated, most people recognize that the costs in dollars, and especially in blood, are acceptable only as long as they are low. If the casualty estimates mount to the thousands, if oil prices skyrocket, if a war pushes the economy into recession or requires a large tax increase, and if the United States becomes a pariah in the world because of callous attacks on civilian populations, then decisionmakers in the White House and the Congress might not post so expeditiously to battle. Given the salience of cost, it is surprising that there have been no systematic public analyses of the economics of a military conflict in Iraq. This essay attempts to fill the gap....

As you can see, there are numerous over the counter supplements that may lead to excessive bruising/bleeding with injection treatments. We also recommend that our patients avoid alcohol 24 hours prior (red wine seems to be a culprit especially) with the fish oil/omega supplements also being problematic.
Realistically, most patients forget to stop these daily regimens in time to make enough of an impact on potential bruising. Planning ahead will help if this is a significant concern for you. You may also ask your practitioner for a list of recommendations pre-treatment.
Because bruising is always a potential even with the best technique or avoidance of the above supplements, you may ask about a options to clear the bruise much quicker. For example, we use a pulsed dye laser to treat bruises which helps clear the bruise within 24-48 hours (generally) if done at the right time.

Safe Space Training
Preventing violent behavior among college students is a critical concern for Western and for institutions of higher education around the country. National data on violence against women on college campuses indicates that as many as 25 percent of college women may be the victims of sexual violence by the end of their college career, however fewer than 5 percent of sexual violence incidents are reported.
Consultation and Sexual Assault Support Services (CASAS) provides Western students who are victims of relationship violence or sexual assault with a coordinated campus-community response, including victim advocacy, crisis intervention, legal advocacy, disciplinary board advocacy, housing assistance, and referrals to counseling services.
In our ongoing efforts to increase referrals made to CASAS, we have created a curriculum and workshop to train faculty and staff members to be proactive allies to Western students who have experienced any form of relationship violence or sexual assault called the Safe Space Training. The workshop will explore issues surrounding relationship violence and sexual assault and teach participants to develop listening and support skills. At the workshop's conclusion, participants will receive an information packet that includes CASAS brochures, posters, magnets, and resource cards to be displayed in their offices. Participants will also receive a "safe space/ally" sticker for their office window or door, which will indicate proof of workshop completion and serve as a way to communicate to students that their office is a safe space to disclose information.
We encourage you and your staff to attend one of these workshops and renew your commitment to ending violence at Western. For more information, please call the CASAS Coordinator at 360-650-7982.

Every year a handful of Cuba's sportsmen and women defect, often lured by the prospect of multi-million dollar contracts.
The two men went missing from Cuba last Saturday.
It appears they left the island on board a boat.
They have since spoken to a Miami radio station from an undisclosed hideaway.
Both confirmed their intention to play major league baseball in the United States.
Lucrative deals
Most attention is being paid to the younger of the two.
The 24-year-old pitcher, Maels Rodriguez, although believed to be injured, is potentially one of the best players ever to leave Cuba.
Here he would have been paid around $20 a month.
In the United States, he can seek a contract worth tens of millions of dollars.
Despite limited resources, Cuba consistently produces some of the world's top baseball players and just last week won the sport's world cup.
These defections will be a blow to the Cuban authorities and the country's number one sports fan, President Fidel Castro.
The news has already been seized upon by anti-Castro groups in Miami as evidence of the lack of opportunity on this Communist-led island.
For its part, the Cuban Government has not yet chosen to comment but in the past has portrayed its sporting defectors as traitors lured by greed not freedom.

Are congressmen worth $107,000 a year in retirement?
Former Rep. Norm Dicks (D-WA)
Are congressmen worth $107,000 a year in retirement?
By Rob Hotakainen | McClatchy Newspapers
Posted on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
WASHINGTON After retiring from a 36-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives last month, Norm Dicks has no doubt that hes worth every penny of his new pension: It will allow the Washington state Democrat to cash a monthly check from the U.S. government for $7,365.82.
Thats the net pay on his gross annual pension of $107,268, or $8,939 per month.
I think I did a good job for the people in the state of Washington, you know. I think that this is fair, I really do, Dicks, 72, said in an interview.
Dicks, whos now working as a consultant with defense companies, is among a handful of departing members of Congress who are eligible for six-figure pensions in the first year of retirement. If he lives long enough, his pension could exceed his congressional salary of $174,000 in 2012, with members eligible for annual cost-of-living increases.

2. If they work as "consultants" or peddlers of influence, they shouldn't get a pension.
Also, I'd want them to have put in a good 20 years or so before they qualify for full benes.
Otherwise, I'm not opposed to the general idea of a pension for congresscritters, so long as they really are retired.

3. He's under the old retirement system CSRS
Which stopped around 1980 when members of Congress came under FERS with most other federal employees. Now they get 1.7% per year up to year 20 then 1% every year after that served and have to meet minimum time and age requirements to begin actually receiving the money.
Say someone got elected at age 35 today. They served 20 years and retired at age 55. They would get 34% (about $60,000 a year) beginning at age 60.
The guy in the article, under the newer FERS system would get about $87,000 a year immediately because he has over 30 years of service and is likely over the MRA(minimum retirement age).
They older retirement was a better deal for the pension but they also didn't have to pay into social security so they likely won't see a full benefit there depending on their earnings and other quarters worked.

Tennessee Basketball: The Resilient VolsNovember 27, 2010
Most likely one of the smartest decisions Mike Hamilton, the University of Tennessee's Athletic Director, has ever made came in 2005 when he hired a young and eccentric 45-year old Bruce Pearl to take over as head coach for the Tennessee men's basketball program. Hamilton and company found it keen time to hire a coach that they thought could bring the type of intensity needed to the school's men's basketball program, and most importantly build up a great winning tradition similar to what Pat Summit has accomplished with her Lady Vols.
Since the beginning of the men's basketball program in 1911 up until 2005 eighteen coaches had passed through and compiled a record of 1345-871. Although the all-time record looks good on paper, with its .61 winning percentage, the program had no national championship to show for it and had never advanced further than the Sweet 16 in March Madness. All of Big Orange Nation knew that they needed something or someone to ignite their program and Bruce Pearl, to say the least, has been the exact spark plug the program had been looking for all those years.
In his first five years at the helm, Pearl who has been labeled as an "evangelist" by Hamilton has taken the UT men's basketball program to an all new level of play. Since putting on the brightly colored orange jacket, which has become his trademark look, he has compiled a record of 153-45 (77% winning percentage) and has taken the team to the NCAA Tournament every year. His winning percentage currently sits at the top spot over all the other 18 head coaches to pass through before him and his 153 wins currently puts him as the 4th winning-est coach, with Ray Mears 278 topping off the chart. Some of the many other notable accomplishments over the years for the Vols head coach are such as: logging a 30+ win season in '07-'08; the same year in which they knocked off in state rival and no. 1 ranked Memphis at the time to earn the school's first number one ranking ever, winning an outright SEC Championship, and making it to the programs first ever Elite Eight appearance in the '09-'10 season. Not to mention, the Vols have been a constant contender in the SEC year in and year out and have the leagues winning-est program over the last five years in a league which use to be labeled as Kentucky's stomping grounds. Most importantly the intensity that he has brought to the program has developed one of college basketball's top fan bases. A fan base that stands around 20,000 strong in Thompson Boling Arena for home basketball games and one that has played a major role in the Vols perfect 4-0 record against Top-five ranked opponents that have daringly stepped on their home court since Pearl took over. Over the last five years the wins have piled up in large numbers for the Tennessee Vols as never seen before and the program has changed seemingly overnight from a ho-hum type of team to a team which any opponent would fear playing. Bruce Pearl, the "Evangelist", along with a mix of very talented players such as Chris Lofton, Jajuan Smith, Wayne Chism, and up and coming phenom Tobias Harris have been the key factors playing into the programs emergence as one of the top elite teams in the country.
One would think by looking at the accomplishments over the past five seasons for the Tennessee men's basketball program that it has been smooth sailing for Pearl and his Vols, but that is entirely wrong. Well one could lobby that the first three years were as easy going as possible, but as any coach knows every season has its setbacks and challenges. However, not many teams have had to deal with the challenges that Bruce Pearl and his team have faced the past two seasons and are still currently facing.
Over the course of the last two seasons for Bruce Pearl and his Tennessee Volunteers they have had quite their share of ups and downs to say the least, actually that would be somewhat of an understatement for anyone who has followed the program closely. The 33-9 record ('09-'10: 28-9, '10-'11 present: 5-0) in no way shape of form indicates any signs of trouble, but ever since Jan. 1, 2010, New Years Day, the team has been confronted with some type of setback that was considered to seemingly hurt their play on the court by every sports media outlet known to man. After all, the team's top player in that of Tyler Smith was dismissed from the team and three other top players were suspended until everything was figured out about their run in with the law. This all occurred just before their match up with Kansas, the No. 1 ranked team in the country. Even before losing Smith the Vols were considered a 15-point underdog. When the incident reached all the media outlets many thought that the season would fall apart for Pearl and his team, but they were not taking into consideration how much heart was inside the players wearing the famous orange and white. However, the Vols showed up to play against the Jayhawks and were going to do everything in their power to give a 20,000 plus home crowd something to cheer about. They did just that as they upended the Jayhawks 76-68 on their home court.
The odds remained against the Volunteers the rest of the year, but they were on a mission and knew anything was possible if they put their heart into it. The "Resilient Vols" went on to knock off No. 2 Kentucky in Rocky Top and made their first Elite Eight appearance in program history in a season which was supposed to be one that Pearl and his team should wipe clean from their memory banks. As we all know, it did the exact opposite.
The same case has been made for the current 2010-2011 season for the Tennessee Volunteers so far, but this year dealing with very different circumstances. On Sept. 10, 2010 a media outlet broke the news that Bruce Pearl was found guilty of having inappropriate contact with recruits and that there would be a penalty for his actions. Just over a month later and already into the basketball season, it was announced that Bruce Pearl would be suspended from his team's first 8 SEC games.
Once again the news was released just days before the team was set to face a tough challenge, this year the test being the Championship Rounds of the NIT Season Tip-Off Championship and according to many the distractions facing the Vols would be too much to overcome. However, the "Resilient Vols" picked up right where they left off from last year, as the underdog, and fought their way to center podium in Madison Square Garden to hold the Championship trophy after upsetting the No. 7 ranked Villanova Wildcats 78-68. Not only was this a very notable out of conference win that will gleam out on paper come time for the NCAA Tournament, but most importantly it has the Tennessee Vols as close of a group as any in college basketball and not to mention shows they have the right mindset once again despite the turmoil surrounding the organization.
Every player on the team is behind their head coach and its best believed that they will do everything in their power to play great basketball for the time he is gone as well as in every game they play this year. It also helps that junior Scotty Hopson has assumed his star and leadership potential that many raved about when he entered his freshman year and that freshman Tobias Harris is one of the top talents in all of college basketball. But what will help the most it seems is that a large quantity of last year's players remains on the team and know how to deal with adversity. No matter how good of a head coach a team has it's about the players and how much they want to succeed that makes or breaks the team.
Yes, Bruce Pearl has accomplished above and beyond what was expected of him since taking over in 2005, but it is the players and the team that determines the big picture and Pearl just happens to be the leader. His players will know what he expects of him when he serves his eight game suspension, they all know what it means when they put on their jersey that reads Tennessee across the front.

text: Peter Hamelinck (left) and Thijs de Boer have become ECD at Y&R Amsterdam – together with CEO Sjoerd van Loon they will form the Board. Two years ago Hamelinck made a move to G-Star, after being a team with De Boer at Havas Worldwide (back then EuroRSCG). At Havas the team impressed us – and the international awards shows – with their Tweephony. While Hamelinck was at G-Star De Boer lead GreyPossible Benelux – a merger between Grey Amsterdam/Brussels and Possible. Back then we wondered whether Hamelinck would be able to "add some concept to the world of fashion." Was he able to? Hamelinck: "To a certain extent. At G-Star I was responsible for all communications, global advertising, online communication, retail communication and retail design. The campaigns I lead started, more than ever, with a (design) insight – clearly surpassing the level of 'clothing with logo' photography (e.g. Anton Corbijn's work). Having said that, it's extremely difficult to make conceptual work for a global fashion brand with seasons that follow each other so quickly. The whimsical character of the business makes it charming, but difficult at the same time. All in all it was a unique experience. With a ton of experience I look forward to reunite with my old creative team mate Thijs de Boer. It is the fun we always experienced when working together that made our work successful. I missed that at G-Star" De Boer about his time at Grey: "At Grey I worked with good people, but the agency didn't fit me." What attracts him in Y&R? "The drive of the agency and down to earthness of Sjoerd van Loon. In the past years we've heard an awful lot of complicated talks about our industry, but we simply look forward to creating stuff again." Sounds like Y&R hired a couple winners.

I have noticed that when I try to login to envato network website such as Videohive or Themeforest the captcha code is very small and hard to read from a sight-impaired sort of view. I understand that for both security and safety we need that to keep things like Spam or some other horrid thing, But could the code be re sized just a tad so I and other people such as myself can more effectively and easily access the site.
Thanks for your time.
You know what i noticed with captchas that are impossible to read? First off that they suck! Second; and this one might actually help out – that you don't need to write the 2 words most of the time, the first word is enough most of the time to log in, at least this is what i have been noticing. I have no idea if it's random or not, just felt like sharing – try it sometimes.
