TNA iMPACT!
Review by CyhortI82
"TNA Impact: A shell of a game that crosses no lines."
Like most people who heard the early hype of the first TNA game I was hopeful. It promised to revolutionize wrestling games, it promised to be better than Smackdown vs Raw, it promised greatness. But in the end TNA Impact the game turned out much like TNA Impact the show. All the potential in the world is there yet in execution it's one huge clusterhump that is extremely hard for most people to enjoy. I truly expected more, especially from a game that boasted that it received help from the actual wrestlers in making the game. But, also like TNA, there are a few, very few, enjoyable things about the game.
The story reminds me of the plot of the movie Ready to Rumble. Wrestling, which anyone over the age of 10 knows to be fake or scripted, is real competition. Matches are won and lost based on skill and not backstage booking. Which by itself is fine, this is a wrestling game not a booking simulation like EWR. But then they add the bane of all good storytelling, the amnesia story. You see when you start the game you are Suicide, one of the greatest wrestlers TNA has ever seen. Your finisher is feared by all. You win match after match until TNA is forced to grant you a title shot. Shortly before your match LAX comes up to you and tells you that you're going to take a dive and lose the title match. (why a tag team would care who wins a world title match is never really explained) You agree and they walk away. Then you tell yourself that you'll never lose on purpose. Sure enough you win and sure enough you get jumped backstage by LAX and get beaten to within an inch of your life. (Keep in mind that this is all being narrated by the protagonist, you, who is supposed to have lost his memory)
You wake up several days later in a run down hospital in Mexico, your face is ruined and you are lucky to be alive. Two doctors that look like they spend more time curing their own hangovers than other people for some reason agree to give you plastic surgery for free. This is when you create your character. Original way to introduce it, but not very well done. I'll get into the CAW mode later on. After you finish "reconstructing" yourself you find out that you have a need to fight, which leads you back to wrestling. Now, the hype said that you have to work your way up through the indy ranks before you get a shot at the "big leagues" TNA. (another way the game diverges from reality, apparently TNA is the biggest wrestling company in the world and all wrestling rings follow it's six sided model) Now to me this means going through an indy fed or two, winning the title there and being scouted by TNA. In reality it means winning 3 matches in Mexico against nobodies, 3 matches in the United States (in an army base no less) against nobodies and then one match against James Storm, a TNA wrestler who is apparently out scouting talent. Why a wrestler would also double as a talent scout is also unexplained.
Now, that's pretty much all of the plot I can give away but you can probably guess the rest from there. It's the same "I got beat up and lost my memory now I need to find out who I am" story that's been done a thousand times.Now, where the story mode truly fails is that you NEED to win EVERY match to continue the story. A plot device that always fails in wrestling games. Day of Reckoning tried it and it ruined an otherwise great story. TNA did it and it made a decent at best story terrible.
Story Rating: 2/10
The gameplay is probably the biggest failure of TNA Impact. It is pretty original. It's not the Mortal Kombat like entering of button sequences that WWF Warzone had nor is it the more familiar SvR controls. Instead it's a cross of the two. And it managed to incorporate the worst aspects of both. A lot of people seem to like the gameplay, however I hate it. It seems to be based on that I call the Megaman Principle which basically says a game isn't good unless you have to do the same part over at least 3 times. You have basically four moves, with some airial moves that you'll never get a chance to use because your opponents never stay down and oh, did I mention that EVERYTHING is reverseable. Not by you, but by the CPU. You have the ABILITY to reverse everything but it's random as to whether or not you do. You press one button to reverse everything and as far as I can tell there is no proper place to press the button like the SvR games. You just mash the Right Bumper and hope you reverse things.
The thing I hate the most however is the thumbstick. Whenever you get hit with enough moves you get stunned, and to get out of it you need to violently wrench the thumbstick back and forth for about 10 seconds. The CPU also has to do this, but it takes them about 2-5 seconds. And if you get pinned? You have to move the thumbstick again. Except this time there is pretty much no way to get out of it. If you go too slow you get pinned, go too fast and the game doesn't register that you're moving the stick at all.
It is amusing at times though. If you run past the metal stairs (yes, past not into because there is apparently an invisible sphere of metal that surrounds the visible steps) you go flying face first into the ground. Funny, but annoying when you're trying to get away from someone. The only good part is more often than not the person chasing you trips and falls right next to you.
Gameplay Rating: 1/10
Create a Wrestler
The second biggest failure in the game. Think of the great customization of Fire Pro and Smackdown vs Raw. Now picture the opposite of that and you get TNA Impact's CAW feature. Everything you can select is on a preset slider. No changing the X or Y axis, no changing parts of the body, no wacky colors, no detail. You choose an option, a color, and MAYBE a pattern. But you only get about 7 patterns and most of them aren't any good. There are some decent clothing and hair options but really an updated version of No Mercy would have more in depth customization.
But surely you get to create your own moveset right? Of course you do. After you unlock the moves by playing story mode. Otherwise you're stuck with the default moveset. What is the default moveset? You have to play the game to find out because all the move options have 3 locked options and "DEFAULT". Yep, it doesn't even tell you what moves it's forcing you to use. It just tells you what you can't use.
Create a Wrestler Rating: 2/10
Finally something I can praise. The graphics are pretty good. The wrestler models are fairly realistic, the clothing looks real and not painted on and the arenas are very nicely rendered. There are of course problems though. The hair is one block of hair, no movement. There is some glitching but that is really more of a gameplay problem than a graphic problem. All in all the graphics are the best thing about the game.
Graphics Rating: 8/10
So have you noticed how generic TNA entrance music sounds? Then you won't be surprised at the music in this game. It's basically the same. In fact most of the music in the game IS the TNA entrance music. There really isn't much originality in the soundtrack, if any. Now the crowd noises, chair hits and other non musical sounds are done well but that won't bring the rating up that much. Almost all wrestling games get those right so it's not really that impressive.
Sound Rating: 3/10
Final Thoughts
With it's bad CAW system, generic and bland story, frustrating gameplay and overall amateurish feel this game is most definitely a rental at best. It is one of the biggest video game letdowns in years and I feel sorry for anyone that paid full price for it. But this is of course just an opinion. Some people seem to enjoy it so if you're thinking about getting this game use more than just this review to make your decision. But even if you think this game will be the greatest wrestling game ever and I'm just writing this review because I suck at it please rent it before buying it. It's much easier to take a game back to Blockbuster than it is to return one to GameStop.
Final Rating: 4/10
Reviewer's Rating: 2.0 - Poor

text: Love: Make Love a Priority. Making Love a Priority and Make Love a Choice is as simple as dedicating four very focused hours of time in your relationship. Basically, a four hour relationship. Those four hours can be spread throughout the week. Now, love making can definitely be part of those four hours. For men the primal urge and sexual dynamics are big drivers. A man who can master sexual urges for love making is a masterman who is in charge of his life and his relationship. Women admire men who are mastermen. Women want passionate sex and love making with a masterman. Make love a priority and fill her love bucket with your focused four hour relationship by filling her love bucket with her desires. Rock her world and be her hero in just 4 hours.

James Baker is also the protector of democracy in Florida. James Baker has recently been seen as a hero protecting the Presidency of our Greatest President Ever, George W. Bush against the hellbound Liberals who want to criticize his judgment in invading Iraq. Also known as 'The Velvet Hammer,' James came up with a plan to deal with these liberal demons and one to ensure that freedom forever stays on the march in Iraq; the latter was not released until after the 2006 elections.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association considered this carefully two years ago.
If players use protein bars and energy shakes as a restorative aid in their workout regimen, why not be sure those items contain no prohibited additives? Why not create a system to evaluate the powdered mixes and vitamins and guarantee they contain exactly what the label says and nothing more? (Related item: Strict rules for supplement companies)
The NFL and the union announced exactly such a program 16 months ago in conjunction with NSF International, a not-for-profit testing firm in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Since that announcement, just one company — Experimental and Applied Sciences (EAS) — has earned the seal that affirms its products are safe for use by NFL players. About a dozen others have been rejected or withdrew their applications.
The requirements and financial commitments seem as forbidding as castle walls but such protection is necessary, says Adolpho Birch, labor relations counsel for the NFL Management Council and the league's point person on this project.
Qualifying, he says, is "certainly a sizable undertaking but it is of the utmost importance for us to make sure the products don't contain any banned substances. It's as minimal as we can make it."
Several applications are under review, and Birch says he is hopeful more companies and products can be approved "in the not too distant future."
The certification concept might also spread to other sports. Given its new testing procedures for steroids and performance-enhancing substances and some positive tests that players blamed on over-the-counter purchases, Major League Baseball has begun looking into this area, spokesman Pat Courtney says.
The NFL/NFLPA/NSF testing standards are as demanding as the initial requirements to apply for the program. Companies must have been in business for five years and show sales of $50 million before they can offer their multivitamins and protein and carbohydrate mixes for certification. They must also pay for the continuing testing by NSF, which certifies products and writes standards for food, water, air and consumer goods.
• A written statement from a company's president or chief executive officer attesting that:
The company does not directly or indirectly manufacture, distribute or sell any products containing ephedra, prohormones or other substances banned by the NFL, and has no plans to do so.
Does not and will not use manufacturing facilities which produce these or similar products and will comply with future NFL regulations governing anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances.
• Documentation of five years of continuous operation by the company.
• Statements of gross and net financial performance (minimum gross sales volume of $50 million required).
• Copies of income and cash flow statements for the previous two years, plus federal tax returns.
• Copies of applicable insurance policies.
• Summary and status of any and all legal claims against the company.
• A $500,000 contribution over a three-year period to the NFL/NFLPA Research and Education Trust for use on athlete health and safety.
• Shipment of product to NFL players at company expense, including complimentary allotments to NFL clubs on request.
By Larry Weisman
"The requirements are pretty stringent," says Stacy Robinson, the NFLPA director of player programs. He defends the tight grip this way: "You don't want a free-for-all."
Not in a business where companies come and go, where production is often done by contract manufacturers who might not worry about cross-contamination and where labels sometimes fail to indicate the minute particles that could jeopardize a career.
In a time of heightened scrutiny and congressional interest in drug testing, pre-screening becomes one way of helping athletes train within the boundaries of a league's testing protocols.
"I've been called by all sorts of sports organizations about this program," says Kathy Jordan, NSF's general manager of dietary supplement certification and a registered dietician. "There's interest all over the board from sports as well as the general consumer. A lot of them are looking at the NFL model."
She understands the pressures to condition year-round, under team supervision or on their own, and the need of administrators to help them avoid chemical mishap. NFL players testing positive for performance-enhancing properties face a four-game suspension for the first offense.
"We live in the real world," Jordan says. "Athletes take supplements. The issue is not going to go away."
Nor will testing. But the "I didn't know" excuse for failing a test can be banished. Certification, she says, "is a benefit to the athlete and to the manufacturer. We retain samples of every lot we test, and we can always go back and retest. It protects the athlete as well as the manufacturer."
Stringent criteria for products
The consumer, apparently, needs the protection. An International Olympic Committee survey in 2002 found that 15% of the more than 630 dietary supplements it examined were contaminated by steroids and would have caused a positive drug test.
An innocent purchase might lead to disastrous consequences for the athlete grabbing a quick snack after a vigorous workout.
"You cannot afford to have mistakes in this," says Mark Verstegen, the NFLPA director of performance and president of Athletes' Performance, the Tempe, Ariz.-based training facility that is an offseason home to professionals of many sports. "A positive drug test labels a player dirty or a cheat for life."
Birch says the NFL reviews information on the business, including litigation history, manufacturing facilities and good manufacturing practices (GMP). Companies that produce products containing substances banned by the NFL won't be certified because of the possibility of cross-contamination.
The testing includes four criteria:
• Formula evaluation — Screens for potential banned substances.
• GMP — Production and packaging facilities are inspected to ensure controls are in place to avoid the introduction of, or cross-contamination with, banned substances.
• Clinical testing for metabolites — NSF oversees clinical testing to determine whether any of a product's ingredients metabolize into banned substances.
• Chain of custody procedures — Each product lot tested for banned substances must be collected by an NSF auditor. All products awaiting testing are held under locked quarantine until the auditor informs the manufacturer of successful test results.
"It's pretty extensive," Birch says. "We really have to ask for what we have to ask for to guarantee the viability of the product."
Costs prohibitive for many
Verstegen estimates 1,200 NFL players use supplements as part of their workout regimen, be it a protein shake or a vitamin/mineral booster.
"Athletes of all levels, all people, will utilize supplements or meal replacements. ... If you have the right types of food, with specific timing before, during or after exercise, it will significantly accelerate your recovery," he says.
Consuming the product without fear of what it contains is critical.
"The key thing," says Steve Breen, senior vice president for marketing at Golden, Colo.-based EAS, "is making sure players get what they need. We — the NFL, the NFLPA, NSF — have all lined up trying to see that they do."
The product certification process assures truth in the bottle. It is not an advertisement, a recommendation or a marketing gimmick for the NFL. The NSF stamp of approval is its circular marque and another that shows a goalpost and a football crossing through. The NFL shield does not appear.
"It never will," Birch says. "We do not intend this to be an endorsement. It is simply designed to show the product is free of banned substances and that it contains what it says it contains."
Absent the NFL's powerful logo and given the restrictions on commercial endorsements by the clubs, executives at some companies say the certification program is an economic non-starter for them.
"We just determined that the cost was too significant to justify what they were trying to do," says Chris Kildow, team sports marketing manager for MET-Rx. "The bottom-line costs and the return on investment were not worth it with little or no marketing behind it."
EAS' Myoplex Deluxe nutrition bars retail at $107.85 for three 12-packs, with the serving recommendation being 1-2 per day post-workout or as a meal replacement. A 90-serving container of the powdered performance fuels retails for $69.95 and, at the recommended three times a day use, would be a month's supply.
Certified companies are obligated to supply a certain amount of product to clubs on a "complimentary" basis and to ship to players at company expense. In addition to the testing and quarantine expenses, there is also a mandatory $500,000 contribution to an NFL/NFLPA research and development fund, payable over the course of a three-year license.
"That has stopped a few companies who inquired," the NFLPA's Robinson says.
Others haven't been around long enough or sold enough of their wares to make the cut.
"We're trying to do everything right. We're well positioned financially. But we're not a $50 million company," says Barry Sharf, president of The Lifestyles Group in Syosset, N.Y.
Sharf's company makes xLA, a weight-loss tablet, and employs St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk in its commercials. But that product is not certifiable under the current program.
EAS, the sole supplement supplier for Athletes' Performance, does not yet sell the products bearing the goalpost logo commercially because of what Breen says is a "packaging issue." Those items go directly to players.
EAS sent each a kit containing its offerings last year and a credit toward future purchases. It hopes to add more products soon to the approved list, even as competitors put their applications in the pipeline.
For now, it is the only game in town.
"I see a lot of it in the lockers, if that's a gauge of popularity," says Houston Texans tight end Mark Bruener, who serves on the NFLPA executive board. "I'm sure there are some players who don't like to take them, but there are others who are religious about it.
"Our bodies are our biggest commodity and if we perform well, we are going to be in demand. As long as the supplement is clean, I'm in favor of a player taking anything that he thinks helps him.

I like it. No irritation. Uniform skin colour. Good cover of imperfections and have no sensation of greasy or heavy skin. Applicator is useless but I use a brush,
This is to me the best foundation ever invented! Apply liquid but become like a powder so it let your skin breathe! I love the fact it hold well and is very easy to apply, also cover super well even on pale skin like mine
This foundation is amazing, it is medium to full coverage with a powdery finish. It does not oxidize, cause dryness, or break-outs. It comes is a very small bottle, but a little bit goes a long way.
This makeup is very light feeling but it does contain silicones so beware it feels kind of slick to begin with. It will finish off with a light natural finish. Just be patient because I was very put off to start with only becuase of the slick feel on my fingers. It is a light coverage that does not settle into and exaggerate fine lines. It's one of my favorite foundations.
I really like this product it goes on smoothly and the coverage is pretty great. The only thing I would say is that it easy to look cakey with this foundation, a little goes a long way with this one! Overall its a pretty good product.
I'm someone who doesn't really put on foundation, but this one is an exception. This is the only foundation that I'm using at the moment and I like it. It has a very watery formula and it glides on and blends smoothly. It gives a powder-like finish. It has little to medium coverage and doesn't look cakey on the skin, although it clings to dry patches so moisturizing very well prior to application is a must. I have oily/combination skin, and it doesn't really help with oil control but it's okay for me it doesn't claim anything about that. If you have normal skin then this would be perfect for you. This is also a good everyday foundation that's not heavy on the skin.
Maybelline New York Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation is a great concept.
A dry oil kind of foundation it goes on easy and blends super well.
It is sheer and can be layered easily.
Downside- limited shades for light tones and it comes off in chunks if you rub your skin.
Firstly, let's start with the "directions". It states on the bottle: Shake well, dispense to fingertip, apply to face. That's not very informative besides it saying to apply with fingers. I tried to apply this with my finger, and it does not blend out at all. You can clearly see where you initially dotted the foundation onto your face, it dries on almost instantly and looks streaky like fake tanner. Next I tried a foundation brush, a flat top kabuki, and again it streaked. Finally I tried using a Beauty Blender sponge and this applied it best, although it was still not a pleasant application. This is nowhere near a full coverage foundation, so forget this one if you like coverage. It has a very orange undertone, but it does dry matte. I find the formula much too watery, and it smells like interior wall paint...yuck! The applicator is very odd as well, just a wand with a teardrop shaped piece of plastic at the end which the product drips from onto your finger. I will not be repurchasing, nor do I recommend this product. Maybelline has many great foundations, this is definite a miss for them.
Maybelline makes incredible products and I love this foundation! It does kind of emphasize dry spots but I love the finish and the coverage!
When it comes to foundation, I usually stick with high end. I've recently been using the Lancome Miracle Air De Teint, after they discontinued Teint Idole Fresh Wear. I picked up a bottle of Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid Touch foundation on sale for $9 wanting to compare the two.
My results? Almost identical. Application, dry time, coverage. I wasn't able to find an exact match (the Lancome shade I wear is more yellow tones while the Maybelline is more pink toned), but the difference on my face is negligible. If I were to try out a few shades I'm sure I could find a closer match.
I love how lightweight this foundation is - it blends perfectly, and is so thin it feels like you have no makeup on. The coverage is also buildable, though I find that Maybelline Dream Wonder is slightly higher coverage than the Lancome.
A little goes a long way - if you exfoliate regularly, 5 drops will likely be enough. This foundation does cling to dry spots though, and makes them stick out more.
At .45 cents /ml for the Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid Touch Foundation, and $1.60/ml for the Lancome, I'll likely be picking up another bottle of the Maybelline when I am through.

Rosario Dawson ~ Fingerwaves Steal The Show
Many people are seemingly impressed by what is new, the current hottest trends, the latest looks in fashion and hair. Sometimes however, you need to turn your glance toward what is 'old' to discover what is really fresh.
When everyone is showing up at events sporting variations of the recent hippest hairstyles, the sure way to capture everyone's attention is to style your locks in something different.
Rosario Dawson refuses to blend into the crowd unnoticed, instead of styling her locks in a look that everyone else is wearing, she chooses to turn back the clock and draw every eye her way.
For the 2006 MTV Move Awards, everywhere you looked, there were virtually clones of one or two hairstyles.
That changed however when Rosario Dawson showed up with her hair coiffed into a simple yet incredibly elegant hairstyle from the past.
Rosario's locks were motivated from the stylish hair fashions that were typically worn by women for a more formal occasion in the 60's. With her simple, warm brown color and carefully constructed finger waves, Rosario was more than elegant.
This hairstyle however was anything but matronly and old-fashioned; you can see Rosario Dawson's spunky personality shining through her overall look. From her cosmetics to her gown, from her glowing complexion to her elegantly wavy hairstyle, she was the picture of loveliness.
Rosario Dawson has hair texture that can be classified as medium. This wavy hairstyle will work best on women who also have medium textured locks. Fine hair can wear this style easily as well. Although you can wear a version of Rosario Dawson's wavy hairstyle if your tresses are thick, it will definitely take more work and product to produce this look.
Give yourself enough time to get ready before your big night out. This style may look simplistic but it does take some time, styling tools and products to turn out 60's inspired waves.

Here Are Foods that Cause Bloating and Gas
Bloating is caused due to the presence of excess gas in the intestines. Bloating or gas can also be related to eating fatty foods, drinking carbonated beverages, eating too quickly, smoking and stress. In this article we examine foods that cause bloating and gas. Nutritionist, Suman Agarwal, Fitness expert, Food Guru and Owner of Selfcare India, explains which foods we should stay away from.
What causes excess flatulence and bloating?
Swallowing excessive air: This may be caused by chewing gum; smoking; ill-fitting false teeth (dentures); eating too quickly or talking while eating; gulping rather than sipping and anxiety. Some of that air finds its way into the lower digestive tract where it contributes to gas.
A diet containing foods that cause gas. This can happen by eating certain foods, like peas and beans, which produce noticeably more gas than eating other foods. High fibre foods though healthy are difficult to digest. The small intestine can't break down certain compounds, which means extra work for the gas-producing intestinal bacteria and accompanying flatus.
Eating foods that you cannot tolerate, for example, if you have lactose intolerance and eat dairy products.
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Constipation
• Bacterial overgrowth in the intestines often caused by certain antibiotics.
These are the 8 foods you need to avoid to prevent bloating:
• Corn and corn products: Like corn, popcorn and corn atta
• Pulse based atta like – besan atta and chana atta
• Chinese food
• Pani puri ka pani
• Fermented foods like idli, dosa, uttapa etc
• Rajma and chole
• Kali dal or urad dal
• Processed foods like Maggie, chips and highly salted foods
But remember that people react differently to various foods. You have to make a point of noticing which foods affect you and eliminate these foods from your diet.

The perception of on the loose wealth sounds angelic at first, but the actuality of it is that it's rarely available. Even if it is disentangled in a pecuniary sense, whatever new rate is universally compensated in swap for supposed for nothing wealth. The charge mercenary for unrestricted income varies greatly, but it's ever in that. When we get the impression bad roughly speaking a without payment backing transaction, it mechanism we've nonheritable an unwanted, unwritten indebtedness that we grain we essential repay. Sometimes we're lured into acceptive unmarried cremation in telephone exchange for a lurking serious-mindedness of few kind. Other nowadays we may be sensitive of the conditions connected to the out jewels but accept it in any case. For example, most of us have gotten the "You've won a FREE cruise!" or "Win a FREE buying spree!" mailings at some prickle or another; reading done the material like a shot gives a indication as to what they're genuinely after - your event and YOUR investments.
The lower procession in all these scenarios is that at hand is whichever kind of rotate going on, so it's genuinely not free. One mathematical omission can be at liberty grants or scholarships for academy. But, even these aren't purge - taxpayers are commonly paid the mouth and the outlook is that you will go to college, do well, and deepen society with your acquisition at a subsequent case. If you kind a lot of money, you one day may be approached to set up a aid to relieve others...and so on - which leads to the relationship linking escaped investment and liberal.
Free cremation isn't really do away with unless it is one fixed beside no strings attached. Even among house members, this is pink. This may make happen you to devise a minute bit much roughly speaking what's genuinely going on during Christmas and birthdays. Giving in need guiltiness someone slice of the equation takes habit and kindness. The same is correct of acceptance. To be a worthy giver, we likewise entail to be upright receivers. The degree to which we can let ourselves to have we will likewise change our competency to make a contribution. It's all astir conformity the tumble active in our lives. If assets is state offered to us next to strings attached in any way, we have all precisely to food waste the transaction, even more if it's for a price we don't poverty to pay. But, if wake is person offered to us beside no string section attached, we can willingly adopt the investments as semipermanent as we also adopt the job to fabricate thing new and corking next to it or leave behind it on in any else way to individual else, keeping the tumble live.Post ads:

Supervalu Q3 Profit Up 51 Percent on Albertson's Deal
MINNEAPOLIS -- Supervalu Inc. here tabbed record third quarter sales, earnings, and earnings per share in the wake of its acquisition of a large portion of Albertsons' best performing regional banners.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Supervalu Inc. here tabbed record third quarter sales, earnings, and earnings per share in the wake of its acquisition of a large portion of Albertsons' best performing regional banners.
Sales reached $10.7 billion in the third quarter, which included 12 weeks of results ended Dec. 2, 2006, and 13 weeks of acquired operations ended Nov. 30, 2006. Profits climbed to $113 million from $75 million, and earnings per share bounced up a penny to $0.54.
Jeff Noddle, Supervalu's chairman and c.e.o., said the company's record third quarter earnings "represents another strong quarter as a retail powerhouse. We are seeing great progress on many fronts, including double-digit earnings per share growth when adjusted for charges. When including the acquired operations, we also saw improvement in our identical store sales in the quarter, and progress in our remodeling program."
Now the third largest grocery chain, behind Kroger and Safeway, Supervalu raised its fiscal 2007 earnings guidance to a range of $2.32 to $2.43 per share from between $2.18 and $2.41 per share after third-quarter earnings were announced.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, sales increased to $27.1 billion, while earnings increased from $200 million to $332 million. Virtually all of the increases in sales and earnings are attributable to the Albertson's acquisition, Noddle said.
During an investor call yesterday, Noddle elaborated on the company's $1.2 billion capital expenditures budget for fiscal 2008, earmarked for remodeling its retail fleet of stores throughout the country while also expanding its selection in meat, seafood, organic food, and other high-ticket departments.
Noddle said Supervalu's sizable remodeling campaign will continue to roll out the chain's "fresh and healthy" format, which was launched in the fall and emphasizes specialty, natural and organic foods; expanded deli, produce, meat and HBC departments; and in-store health clinics.
Current store development plans call for 30 to 32 standard-size stores and 70 to 75 limited assortment stores, including licensed stores. The company estimated it will complete approximately 80 major remodels, and include development activities by the acquired properties in the quarter prior to the acquisition.
Total capital spending is projected to be approximately $950 million, including capital leases, which does not include approximately $150 million of capital spent by the acquired properties in the quarter prior to the acquisition, the company said.
Shaw's, Jewel and Acme have accounted for the majority of the 50 major store remodels completed thus far, Noddle said. He said much of Supervalu's cap-ex purse will be devoted to its newly acquired banners, which is the prudent course to take in light of the fact that many of the former Albertsons stores "have been ignored and are in need of updating."
Complementing the store remodeling efforts is Supervalu's so-called ongoing "store recycling" effort, that includes possible divestures of stores in select markets, including the 15 corporate Jewel locations currently on the block in Milwaukee.
Noddle said the company's pared store base comes as a result of "a rationalization review and a redeployment" of resources to better utilize its capital and improve shareholders returns.
Operationally speaking, Noddle said, "everyday execution at store level" is a key mission going forward. "We feel very strongly about the customer experience" as it pertains to "maintaining a good service level, and good in-stock positions. We are committed to raising the bar for store execution standards." As an example, Noddle pointed to the Southern California launch of "Three's a Crowd," which mandates that store clerks open a new checkout aisle any time three or more people are waiting in line. The program will also be rolled out in other regions beginning today, he said.
"Our efforts remain clearly focused on leveraging the full potential of Supervalu as grocery retail formats continue to evolve to meet changing lifestyle and consumer needs," said Noddle. "We also remain committed to our financial metrics, including the important return on invested capital metric as we execute our plans."

The 82-year old man named Hume Hamilton- who is found guilty of animal cruelty last month - is sentenced to three years in prison, followed by two years of probation, reported the 7news (WSVN).
In the surveillance video, Hamilton was seen along the 900 block of South Andrews Avenue, walking a dog up a driveway where the cat was resting. When Hamilton's dog starts to viciously maul the cat, he used his foot to step on the cat, trying to separate the two.
The cat died from its injuries in this incident, which happened in the month of July.
"Now, we can move on, We have closure now, justice has prevailed." the WSVN quoted the cat's owner, Wayne Spath as saying.
"That was a pet, my daughter found that cat as a kitten, had it for 12 years. That cat was 12 years as part of our family," he said.
On the other hand, the judge also asserted that Hamilton would not be allowed to own an animal again, once he gets out of prison.

Winter Poetry
de Poets with Voices Strong
Acerca del libro
The ground is stiffened with a frozen embrace
Cold winds across the tattered earth do race
All is whitened and frosted and brittle at hand
Warmth is driven down deep in the land
Barren trees are but naked skeletons to behold
And the pines wear white scarves in the cold
Winter's birds search for the leftovers of harvest
And puff themselves to insulate from the cold's onset
In the sky crystals form and are driven by the breeze
Snowflakes flee and skiffle across the white freeze
But a January thaw gives a promise and hope
That spring will once again emerge on the slope

|tomcat4.1 include problems
|Tue, 28 May 2002 14:18:12 GMT
Hi, I have a strange problem with tomcat4 (version 4.1) and include directives. Operating system is windows2000. When I use include directive on page, and in the included file is another include directive, tomcat compiles the page every time it is called. The same problem I have with Struts template engine - when I use template on some page, Tomcat re-compiles it on every hit, which is terribly slow. I think there is no reason why pages should be re-compiled. Can somebody help?

Re: Quick Question about Grad night
More crowded than a normal day that I would like to be there.... but the lines are thined out because of all of the music going on in different locations... so it's not bad.
oh, and yes, to my recollection all of the rides were up.I'm addicted and I don't care!!! :yea:
Re: Quick Question about Grad night
I thought it was less crowded, most people went to dance. Ditto with when I worked there the dark rides were "dead". Small World is only open every other grad night, because it takes more to run it because people are inside.Also here is a list of what was open last years grad nights:
If you go to Blast off:
California Screamin'
Sun Wheel
King Triton's Carousel
Orange Stinger
Mulholland Madness
Astro Orbitor
Alice in Wonderland
Thunder Mountain
BL Astro Blasters
King Arthur's Carrousel
Haunted Mansion
Hony, I shrunk the audience
Jungle Cruise
Mad Tea
Winnie the Pooh
Mr. Toad
Peter Pan
Snow White
Splash Mountain
Star Tours
*Space Mountain will be
** Pirates was but its down this year
*** Monsters Inc wasn't built yet so IDK
You get little fire works 3 times on main street.Last edited by karebear286; 03-14-2006, 04:59 PM."And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." :ghug:

Re: Quick Question about Grad night
My daughter says about the same as the summer, but there are lots of bands playing. All rides are open, and just for Grad Nite they will be opening Rockit Mountain!If you see a cute yellow lab puppy with a yellow cape, WAVE! It might be us! (Or it may be someone else that lurks here!) Thank you for asking before you pet! Next trip, Dec 22-Jan 3rd.
Re: Quick Question about Grad night
My school has been going the whole time I've been here so I assume they'll be doing it next year. But like you said, it's only one night and you go there and back in less than 24 hours. I'd rather just go with my family for 3 or 4 days. I remember a while back my sister got to go because she was part of the musical thing (back when I lived in Washington, I guess they fly you in from all over the place). Getting out of school to go to Disneyland is the greatest idea ever.
Is there any reason why a school is put on the "banned list"? Kids messing around I would assume?
Re: Quick Question about Grad night
Some Grad Nites are more crowded than others. It's in the way the schools are scheduled. We've had GN's with attendance as low as 9,000 and it goes up from there usually to no more than 20-25,000. So it really never gets that crowded with dance venues taking away from the ride lines. Keep in mind 25,000 is a far cry from the approx. 70,000 capacity of the park.
As far as the rides go not all the same rides are open for all the GN's. On light nites with only 9,000 in the park you'll probably find Small World closed. Last year it was closed for the first couple of GN's because of the light attedance. As GN season progresses they usually become more crowded with the local schools. The Jungle Cruise was another ride not open all GN's. In short it basically goes with the attendance that's expected.
Re: Quick Question about Grad night
I'm dating myself, but when I went (back in 1980) to Grad Night a lot of people
were dancing (KC and the Sandance Kids! :-) and dark rides in FL were pretty
empty, but the place overall was pretty full (about as packed as a mid-week
summer day; not super packed.... I would say 25K like 10-8 says is about right).
But the long bus ride was really tough (esp. the ride back!)
Nice to hear that things haven't changed all that much!
If you're going, Hope that you all have a great time! esp. w/ RockIt Mountain!

I don't know what level of "messing around" would be enough. I think the riot act is read and enforced pretty sternly.
Re: Quick Question about Grad night
We've caught kids drunk, throwing up out side the gates...their grad nights ended there. Everyone probably knows why Tom Sawyers Island isn't up for grad nights. Things I heard Smoking, drinking...... something else that I can't mention. But it has to do with why small world gets people stationed inside when it does go up."And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." :ghug:

Let's be candid. A lot of ancestors judge that friendly remedial is a shrimpy "woo-woo." Look at it logically, though, and I muse you'll concord it's cypher out of the run of the mill.
Health is your automatic circumstance of person. It's your non-attendance setting. As before long as you graze your knees or cut your finger, you open sanative yourself. Your body fluid clots, while discomfort and lump alert you to counsel brilliant of the sanative specialism. It's similar to a sign right of a building site, "Working - Do Not Enter."
Of course, nearby are recurrently added material possession you can do to alleviate soothing. If a cut on your arm is highly deep, you can lint it or even sew the cut off edges together, so that the uplifting cells can conquer all different. You may utilise an medicinal drug to treasure the field until the wrapping grows backmost to assign that asylum. Whether you agnize it or not, even in these ordinary examples, you are cooperating near your magic uplifting.
Interval of example the criteria
Make convinced your antiaircraft dynamic
Your discursive knowledge my not
Reason more jobs near better-quality
Disclosed to somebody at effort
Without the real meaning that lives in you, as you, all the stitches and bandages would be utterly uselessness. Without consciousness, your cutis would not know how to fix a cut, no thing how yearlong you held it together.
Scientists now bowman us what magic healers have familiar for a endless time: There is no juncture. We've created the semblance of instance to have a convinced submit yourself to. You improve your leg coexisting to fall in it: the remedial single appears to pilfer six weeks. The issue and nuprin and friction are all holding we've created to give a hand pass by the vision of instance. And if you're beat of how you're fugacious the instance in your own life, you can use mystic beneficial to fine-tuning that.
I'm not bashing "traditional" soothing. I'm freshly maxim you have a result. Since we're here, having a time-bound experience, we don't need to swivel our noses up at the "traditional" methods of soothing. We only just entail to know them for what they are - respect on the time of life's romp. By drumming into numerous raw materials from the area of "alternative" or nonphysical therapeutic , we can single out antithetical deference (hopefully less steep or chafed) or mute the incident we use our deference. As our competence grows complete weeks, months, or years, we can destroy many a of our deference altogether!
May put aside a lot
The first drivers sidelong movable
They assistance you zip and
Disappearing me alone one day
Collect possession and impermanent
We can as well aid our body's inherent/spiritual curative action by "getting out of the way." You may not agnise there's thing mystic nearly a keen night's have forty winks and fitting food, but say again after me, "Everything is spiritual!" As the spoken communication goes, you are a sacred anyone having a human (time-based) submit yourself to.
No less a guru than Thich Nhat Hahn has same that put your feet up is principal for the remedial of both think about and unit. I admit that such of our condition during curative in reality comes from our restless action to the recuperative manoeuvre. We try to practise or other convey on, as if no recuperative were going on, once our thing wishes its highest curative dominance.
Whenever we let go and get still, though, we can timepiece miracles of mystic beneficial return dump - in our bodies and in our lives.

To Cite or Not to Cite? Senators, Kagan, Spar Over Foreign Law
WASHINGTON — One of the raging topics in the Kagan hearings – as it was in the Sotomayor confirmation process – is whether Supreme Court justices should consider foreign law as a guidepost or worse, in some senators' views, as precedent.
At least four senators have grilled Kagan on what role foreign law should play in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. The exchanges at times evoke the McCarthy era, as Kagan has been asked to pledge time and again her independence from foreign influences.
Her position is that foreign law can prove informative — much like a law-review article – but that it should never bind judges.
"I'm in favor of good ideas wherever you can get them," she said yesterday.
Although, when it comes to deciding 2nd Amendment law, she said, judges need not even look overseas for guidance.
Harvard Law School has even come under scrutiny from some senators because first-year students are required to study international law but not constitutional law.
Republican senators Grassley and Sessions were mildly stunned . . .

Going "Free" in the New Writing World
In the world of self-publishing, there so many stories on the internet about how best to promote and market your books. Social networking (Facebook, Twitter etc.) seems to be at the top of most lists, along with book signings and virtual blog tours. These promotions, unfortunately, take a tremendous amount of time—time which pulls you away from your writing. And frankly, I am not convinced it is worth it.
In my experience as a self publisher, I have found that the single best marketing tool is Amazon.com's 90-day Kindle exclusive contract. Which, while it doesn't allow you to sell the ebook version of your book anywhere else during that window of time, gives you five free promotion days. Meaning, you can give your book away for free download on the days you choose.
How does this help you sell books? Here's how:
In the new book world, there are numerous websites which publish daily lists of free Kindle books. So people looking to download a good book for nothing, religiously check these lists. Amazon.com also shows the top 100 free books downloaded daily in various categories. Needless to say, book readers with Kindles also check the Amazon top 100 free books daily.
My first book in The Frank Boff Mystery Series, The Hurting Game, got over 1,000 downloads the first time I ran a three-day giveaway, downloads in the U.S., the UK, Germany, and Canada. In my main category of Hardboiled Mystery, I rose to as high as #4 on the top 100 downloads list. I also got to #11 on the big, all-encompassing category of Mystery.
One of the benefits of making the top 10 in a free fiction category is that besides readers, there are agents, editors, movie producers, and even publishers who are known to check these lists frequently for a book and a writer worth signing. That is a big plus.
Another plus, of course, is you get your book and your name out there to readers who might like your novel so much they buy your next one. Or they spread the word to friends about the book. And by the time that friend goes to download your book, it is no longer for free. Hopefully, they buy.
I put the second book in my mystery series, The Punishing Game, on two-day free promotion, and it did far better than the first one. I had 1,777 downloads, both here and outside the country, including 62 in the UK, 10 in Germany, 11 in Canada, and 2 each in France and Italy. I rose to as high as #2 in Hardboiled giveaways, #3 in the category of Crime, and #7 in Mystery. I like to believe that the increased number of downloads for book 2 were partially a result of readers who downloaded and liked book 1.
Most important to me, this time my giveaway started generating sales, both of The Punishing Game AND The Hurting Game.
Well, as this post attests to, I guess you know the writing and publishing world has changed dramatically when an author like me gets excited about giving his books away for free.

UPPER TOWNSHIP — New Jersey soon could be home to one of the most popular dinosaurs of all time — Tyrannosaurus rex — and the fossils were found by a Cape May County resident.
David Parris, curator of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum, will lead an expedition to Montana in July to try to retrieve a T-Rex specimen his team began to excavate last summer.
Upper Township resident Joseph Camburn, a state corrections officer and amateur fossil hunter, discovered the first bones in 2007 while prospecting in Montana with Parris and Parris' son, Daniel. When the museum team returned last summer, the curator confirmed the fossils were those of the "tyrant lizard king" of dinosaurs.
"We prospect in new areas, look for small crumbs of bone eroding out. When you find that, you hope the fossils are in the early stages of eroding out," Parris said.
Unlike some dinosaur skeletons that are found whole in the position where the animal died, the T-Rex skeleton's bones were scattered. Parris said he is doubtful his team will be able to recover a complete skeleton, but it will try.
The fossils technically belong to the U.S. Department of the Interior but will be on loan indefinitely to the museum in Trenton.
The team found vertebrae, ribs and a shoulder. But the fossils that confirmed the identity of the dinosaur were the same ones that strike fear into vegetarian dinosaurs and schoolchildren alike — its ferocious teeth.
The state museum in Trenton displayed two of the dagger-shaped teeth this spring next to an enormous plaster reproduction of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull.
Camburn and his wife, Sandra, have made fossil-hunting trips with Parris for the last 20 years.
"David calls our home the New Jersey State Museum South," Camburn said.
The couple's basement is full of dinosaur bones, some still encased in plaster from their field trips. Everywhere you look, there are rocks embedded with ancient fish, prehistoric mastodon tusks and megaladon shark teeth the size of juice glasses.
The couple share a workbench, using dental drills to cut away rock from bone as they peer through matching magnifying glasses. They preserve the fossils in a solution made from Elmer's Glue.
Land of dinosaurs
Joseph Camburn, 58, has been interested in fossils his whole life. Growing up in Commercial Township, he had few chances to explore his hobby. After the Camburns' three children were grown, the couple started hunting fossils in central New Jersey. Soon their interest took them out west to dinosaur heaven — Montana.
Montana is where the mighty Tyrannosaurus was discovered in 1902. The state has capitalized on this claim to fame with the Montana Dinosaur Trail for tourists, featuring museums and excavation sites.
"Paleontologists come here to study the Hell Creek Formation," said Shirley White, secretary at the Carter County Museum in Ekalaka, Montana. The museum boasts one of the world's best examples of a duck-billed dinosaur called a Hadrosaur — the state dinosaur of New Jersey.
"Dinosaurs gathered around the shores of the inland sea as it was receding. They got caught in the mud and that was their demise. We get experts from Los Angeles, South Carolina, Minnesota — you name it," White said.
The T-rex bones recovered so far by Parris' team were surrounded by droplets of amber — fossilized tree sap — with layers of rock embedded with the impressions of long-extinct plants. Also found nearby were the bones of an ancient turtle.
Parris said he hopes the dig will help him learn more about small mammals that lived alongside dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago.
"The oldest mammals are as old as the oldest dinosaurs but they existed in the shadows," he said.
On July 25, 2007, the group was scouting federal land northeast of Yellowstone National Park in Carbon County, a vast area about one-quarter the size of New Jersey.
"You put your backpack on, get plenty of water because it's 100 degrees, and start walking," Camburn said.
His wife keeps a field journal of their finds, complete with satellite coordinates, compass readings and her own drawings of the specimens and dig site.
Camburn said when he found the shoulder bone, he turned to Parris.
"David said, 'You know what you got there? That's a T-Rex,'" Camburn said. He was elated.
"If I find 500 more dinosaurs, it wouldn't be as good," he said.
The couple has high hopes of finding a complete skeleton this summer during the dig in Montana. But the entire project could take years, he said.
'Favorite dinosaur'
The team will turn whatever fossils they find over to paleontologist Rodrigo Pellegrini, who catalogues them for the state museum. He said he is looking forward to working with the Tyrannosaur specimen, the second of his career.
"It's very cool. T-Rex was always my favorite dinosaur," he said. "Just thinking about it is enough to send chills up your spine."
Pellegrini has an Indiana Jones poster in his office near a 6-foot plush dinosaur. Growing up in his native Chile, Pellegrini said the books of Edgar Rice Burroughs and movies such as "The Valley of Gwangi" inspired him.
"That movie had cowboys and dinosaurs. What's better? The only thing it was missing was aliens," he joked.
Exactly how Tyrannosaurus rex used those terrifying teeth is the subject of debate. Some experts think the dinosaur's size and its sense of smell rivaling a turkey vulture suggest it was a scavenger.
Pellegrini disputes that. Crocodiles, lions and other predators routinely eat dead animals. But no large carnivore today relies entirely on scavenging scraps for its supper, he said.
More than any other dinosaur, T-Rex is a movie star, appearing in "Jurassic Park" and the original "King Kong," among others. Despite its global popularity, only about 50 individual specimens have been found. Any new discovery is significant, Parris said.
"When you stop and think about it, it is in fact a very rare dinosaur," he said.
Parris submitted a paper on the find to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology for consideration at its meeting this fall.
At the Field Museum in Chicago, a Tyrannosaur skeleton goes by "Sue" for Sue Hendrickson, the paleontologist who discovered the specimen in 1990. Camburn said the T-Rex they hope to bring back to New Jersey in July is named "Sandra Sue" for his and Parris' wives.
"Yeah, I have a dinosaur named after me — and it's a T-Rex," Sandra Camburn said.

Different ways of sanitizing baby bottles
When I stopped breastfeeding, then of course I started to use the bottle. I sterilize bottles, breast pump and a pacifier. I can recommend the sterilizer Phillips, easy to use and the price is not high. Somewhere in the 7 months I sterilized the bottle only and pacifier rinsed under running water and then lowered into boiling water for a few seconds.
We didn't use bottles very much but when we did we used the dishwasher or a kettle full of hot water in the sink to sanitize them.

text: So in addition to improvement in growth rates, we also saw -- our margins were up. Laboratory profit margins were up 110 basis points, and the Hospital same-store gross profit margins were up 10 basis points. Canada, which we acquired on February 1, is doing great for the first 2 months of the quarter. They're performing -- for the 2 months in the quarter, they're performing ahead of our expectation. We're very, very excited to be up in Canada, and have our entire team as part of our management team.Our core business, as I said, Laboratory and Hospital businesses are doing quite well, but Vetstreet losses had a slightly negative impact on our results for the quarter. The increase in operating income in the Lab and Hospital segments of $7.5 million was offset by losses at Vetstreet and about a $5.2 million increase in our corporate SG&A costs due primarily to a $2.7 million increase in share-based comp, and about $880,000 of transaction costs related to AVC and ThinkPets acquisitions in the first quarter. Antech Diagnostics' total net revenue increased 6.5% to $84.7 million due to internal growth and that 1 extra business day. Operating income increased 110 basis points at 38.9%, which I think is the first quarter we've seen positive margin in many quarters. It was nice to see that we are -- the operating leverage is kicking in. The components of the growth, number of requisitions at 4.9% to $3,202,000, and average requisition at 1.5% to $26.46 since for that 6.5% growth. Total requisitions for the quarter, $3,000,202. No change in lab account. We ended the quarter with 53 laboratories. So I think we'll have a trip to quarter. We continue to see improving internal growth rates on a 6.5% internal growth, operating margin, up 110 basis points. So we are seeing the operating leverage that we believe inherent of what is a very high-fixed cost business. A great quarter for the Lab. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com
