Southwell's Career Night Carries K-State Past GW
Southwell's Career Night Carries K-State Past GW
Dec. 31, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery | Video Highlights
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior Shane Southwell scored a career-high 21 points to help K-State conclude its non-conference schedule with a 72-55 win over George Washington on New Year's Eve.
The Harlem, N.Y., native scored 14 of his 21 points in the first half, as the Wildcats (10-3) climbed out of an early deficit against the Colonials to post its eighth consecutive win and finish off the month of December with a perfect 7-0 mark. The loss snapped George Washington's (11-2) six-game winning streak, which had included wins over nationally-ranked Creighton and Maryland.
"We had given the guys a goal when we left Puerto Rico to go unbeaten in December," said Weber. "It was our opportunity to play ourselves back in the conversation for postseason play, so it was great to get it done. As we got closer to it, our players got more excited about it. Our goal was to go 1-0 each time out. We knew George Washington was a good team, an NCAA Tournament team, and we let them get into their sweet spots early. However, we picked it back up. Our defense, during that stretch where they didn't score, did a great job and that kind of knocked their spirit out."
The eight-game winning streak ties for the longest of head coach Bruce Weber's tenure, matching another eight-game streak from Dec. 18, 2012 to Jan. 9, 2013, while the team finished perfect in December for the fifth time in school history and the first time since 2009.
Southwell, who matched his career-high for the third time on Saturday with 19 points against Tulane, went 9-of-17 from the field, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range, against the Colonials. It was his first 20-point game, as he also added five assists, four rebounds, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes.
Freshman Marcus Foster and junior Thomas Gipson joined Southwell in double-figure scoring with 15 and 12 points, respectively. Foster has now scored in double figures 11 times in the last 12 games, while Gipson was a force on the inside, pulling down a team-high eight rebounds.
After falling behind 15-6 in the opening five minutes of the game, Southwell scored eight straight points to spark a 20-0 run for the Wildcats capped off by an Omari Lawrence jumper. K-State's defense did not allow a George Washington field goal for nearly eight minutes from the 15:25 to the 8:00 mark of the first half. The run gave K-State a 26-15 lead and got the home crowd into the action.
The Colonials would cut the lead to 32-25 after a pair of Joe McDonald free throws with 3:42 left in the opening half. However, the Wildcats responded by ending the first half on a 9-5 run to go into halftime with a 43-30 lead. Southwell led all scorers with 14, but seven Wildcats had at least one field goal.
Freshman Jevon Thomas made his Bramlage Coliseum debut and gave the Wildcats energy off of the bench. The freshman from Queens, N.Y., was tenacious on defense and showed great court vision, dishing five assists in 11 minutes during the first half. He finished the game with a team-best six assists on zero turnovers in 23 minutes of action.
K-State started the second half off strong with Foster scoring five quick points to extend the lead to 48-30 just 47 seconds into the frame. The Colonials would close to within 15 points on a number of occasions but the Wildcats seem to always find an answer as they extended the lead to 20 points with 10:17 to play in the eventual 17-point win.
Kethan Savage (14) and Maurice Creek (13) each scored in double figures to lead George Washington, while Isaiah Armwood posted a game-high 10 rebounds.
The defense was again stellar for K-State, as it held the potent Colonials to nearly 22 points under their scoring average with a season-low 55 points on 34 percent shooting. George Washington managed to shoot just 20 percent (5-of-25) from the field in the second half. The Wildcats have now held 11 of their last 12 opponent to their season low in points.
The Wildcats also won the rebounding battle for the ninth consecutive game with a 37-33 margin and now are 29-2 under Weber when out-rebounding their opponent.
The K-State offense was again efficient, as the squad connected on 48.3 percent (28-of-58) from the field and tallied 20 assists on 28 made field goals. The team also had 36 points in the paint, the second-most this season, and got 15 points from its bench, including nine from Nino Williams.
The team finishes non-conference play with at least 10 wins for the eighth consecutive season, as the Wildcats have collected an 81-18 record in non-conference play since 2006-07. The squad has now won 35 consecutive home games in the month of December dating back to 2004.
K-State returns to action on Saturday, as the Wildcats play host to No. 6/6 Oklahoma State (12-1) in the Big 12 Conference opener at Bramlage Coliseum at 3 p.m. CT. The game will be shown nationally on ESPNU with Mark Neely and former Providence coach Tim Welsh (analyst) on the call.
Tickets are still available for the contest through the K-State Athletics Ticket Office. Fans can still take advantage of the Holiday Mini-Plan, which included a $30 general admission ticket for both the George Washington and Oklahoma State game.

Paramount Vantage has secured worldwide rights to a psychological thriller feature entitled "Fracture" from Alan McElroy.
A seemingly promising project is about to come out from Paramount Vantage. The studio has satisfyingly obtained the worldwide rights to Alan McElroy's spec script "Fracture (2007)" with "The Ring" duo Mike Macari and Neal Edelstein seating as producers.
Intended to be a chilling psychological thriller, the picture concerns a man whose wife and children suddenly disappear after entering an emergency room. While it is reported that the flick is out to a director, there is no word yet on either cast or film crew.
Originally named Paramount Classics, Paramount Vantage is the specialty film division of Paramount Pictures that generally produces, distributes, and markets films with a more "art house" feel. Its upcoming productions include "There Will Be Blood", "Into the Wild", and "A Mighty Heart" which is currently filming in India with Michael Winterbottom at helm.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
First, I must tell you that I do not consider myself a typical attorney.
One of the most common complaints about attorneys, in general, is that they never call you back. And then, when/if they do call, they are not familiar with the facts of your case.
That is not who I am. I am not taking thousands of cases. I do not have hundreds of paralegals. I believe in personally handling all aspects of each person's case with the time, diligence and attention that it deserves.
Another common complaint about attorneys is that they do not keep you informed about what is going on in your case.
Again, that is not who I am. When a client asks me what is going on in his/her case, I believe that "nothing" is an unacceptable answer. I also believe in regularly providing my clients with a status update of what has transpired in the case as well as what is expected to occur in the near future.
Next, believe it or not, I often hear complaints that someone's attorney simply is not doing anything.
That is completely unacceptable. Regardless of the type of lawsuit, the discovery period is for a limited amount of time. During that period, depositions may be taken, examinations performed, experts retained, written questions asked, documents requested, etc. I believe that every day of the discovery period should be utilized to further strengthen your case. Even if you want to settle the matter, it is important to put yourself in the strongest position possible prior to settlement negotiations in order to maximize your settlement.
I also often hear that attorneys pressure their clients into taking a settlement agreement.
That is also against everything that I believe in. It is important to remember that it is the client's case, not the attorney's case. I will always lay out all of the options and give my honest evaluation/ recommendations, but I will never pressure a client into anything.
Lastly, for your consideration, I uploaded my judo Kata (demonstration). Judo taught me many lessons, including to obtain maximum effeciency with minimum effort. In other words, do not try to stop your opponent's force, but rather use your opponent's strength against him to defeat him. Judo also teaches you strategy to think many steps ahead of your opponent, rather than to react. This is very similar to chess. Finally, judo gave me the never give up/practice makes perfect attitude. Hard work and dedication truly do get you good results, not only in judo and law, but in life.
Thank you for reading my profile and considering my services.

In legend and folklore there exists the trickster spirit. This is a spirit that does not depend on power to achieve its ends, but on cleverness and trickery, even outwitting the gods. This trickster archetype has inspired popular culture, including comic books and movies. In the Avengers movie the chief villain is Loki who in mythology is the embodiment of the trickster. In the Dark Knight movie the Joker is an exact embodiment of this trickster spirit. Tricksters make good villains.
Heath Ledger's role as the Joker in the Dark Knight was so powerful it felt as if he were actually channeling the trickster spirit. His portrayal of the Joker character was riveting. News stories suggest the Colorado cinema shooter was in some part inspired by the Joker character.
Does the trickster spirit actually exist? In terms of psychology it clearly does or we'd not have this Jungian archetype. We could call the trickster spirit…madness. Crazy people. We always had crazy people and we always will. We can't outlaw crazy. America is unique in that we allow these crazy people to buy assault rifles, weapons of personal mass destruction. In a way, America's gun laws are as crazy as these maniac shooters. The spirit of the trickster manifests itself in American politics and law.
The Trickster Spirit is laughing right now. As a society we caterwaul over such tragedies while at the same time we allow crazies to legally own assault rifles that can hold a hundred rounds that fire 50 rounds a minute. Our gun laws are a joke even the Joker would be proud of.
Is the Trickster Spirit a paranormal entity? It is difficult to separate the purely psychological from the paranormal; the line is blurry. Many people seem to think so. Instead of popular culture's name for this spirit such as Loki and the Joker, this spirit also goes by another name. Satan, Lucifer, the Morning Star, the Prince of Lies, the Snake in the Garden of Eden.
Does this evil trickster spirit influence only the minds of crazy people? Most crazy people are harmless, sad souls that deserve sincere sympathy. Evil does not require madness. Evil operates very well without "crazy" as we can see in both political and economic world events.
What happens when typical everyday evil and madness collide? "He was diabolical, demonic," Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper said of the shooter. If this Evil Trickster Spirit actually exists, it surely desires that crazy people can legally own quasi-military style weapons. But being a clever trickster, this Spirit will limit such displays of their use. This Evil Spirit wouldn't want to change minds and bring sanity to America's gun laws. Our gun laws are exactly where this Trickster Spirit wants them…just enough to spread fear and despair but not enough to change laws.

The City of Johannesburg has denied inflating rates in the valuation of properties.
Spokesman Gabu Tugwana said on Friday valuation was not determined by a certain percentage but by reviews, taking into account market sales data.
"The valuation rates are based on the market sales value from the last date (2008) of valuation up to the current date of valuation," Tugwana said.
On Thursday, the Democratic Alliance accused the municipality of inflating the valuations rates.
"The sting, a painful one indeed, is that the valuations department now has not just inflated, but hyper-inflated property values... from 2008 to levels which bear not the least 1/8relation 3/8 to current market values," said DA spokesman John Mendelsohn.
He said some properties had lost value, and people should not pay more than they are supposed to.
Tugwana said the objections to the valuations were often two-way. Some property owners objected to being under-valued and others object to over-valuation.
He said residents were more than welcome to bring their queries, backed by evidence, and the city had made an option for some to come in even on Saturdays.
"We undertake to investigate and consider each case individually and invite clients to visit our valuation department, on the 4th floor of the Metropolitan Centre (in Braamfontein)." - Sapa

Remembering Harvey Korman (Video)
Comedian and "Carol Burnett show" regular Harvey Korman died this week in 2008, at the age of 81. CNN reported that Korman had been at UCLA Medical Center for four months after suffering complications from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was always one of my favorite, so I want to take a minute to remember the humor he shared with Tim Conway.
Some of my favorite TV-watching moments as a child center around "The Carol Burnett Show." We all loved the way Harvey and co-star Tim Conway played off each other. And how Tim tried so hard, each and every episode, to make Harvey lose his cool…which he always did!
One of my favorite bits from that show was this skit about "No Frills Airlines." My family and I will still quote the line "Did you ever see a plane BACK into a mountain?" Thanks for making us laugh!

Designed in Ireland: Intel's Quark chip a world first
Technology giant Intel picked the Republic of Ireland to design its next major chip processor line -- rating the country ahead of keen competition from Israel, Malaysia and the US.
It is the first time that a major product from a global technology company has been designed in the country.
"All our Christmases and birthdays rolled into one when our CEO announced it," said Philip Moynagh, Intel's general manager for the processor in Kildare.
The chip, called Quark, which has already been made on a limited basis, goes into mass production next month.
It carries the words "designed in Ireland" on it. "Those three words are very exciting for us here. We couldn't be more proud," added Mr Moynagh.
The chip will power everyday items, from wearable technology such as smart watches to air conditioners.
The announcement came as figures revealed US firms invested $130bn (€95bn) in the Republic between 2008 and 2012 -- 14 times more than the US investment in China.

B-Right is a carefully-balanced, low-odor vitamin B-Complex formula.
Methyl folate ((6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid or (6S)-5-MTHF) is the most biologically active form of folic acid (folate). Quatrefolic is the 4th generation development in folate delivery.
Methylcobalamin is better absorbed, retained and utilized than other forms of B12. Methylcobalamin and niacinamide support brain and nerve tissue.
Pantethine is a derivative of vitamin B5 and is a precursor to Coenzyme A (CoA), which is involved in oxidative metabolism.
Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P-5-P) is the coenzyme form of vitamin B6 and is necessary for the metabolism of proteins and amino acids.
Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule per day with a meal or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional.
Other Ingredients
Magnesium stearate (vegetable source), calcium phosphate, cellulose and silicon dioxide. Capsule consists of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
No wheat, no gluten, no soybeans, no dairy, no egg, no fish/shellfish, no peanuts/tree nuts.

Good forms of the B vitamins and no aftertaste!

Good forms of the B vitamins and no aftertaste!
I primarily ordered this as I was looking to avoid the cyanocobalamin form of B12 in most B complexes. Whilst the common form probably doesn't leech cyanide into our systems I figured it couldn't hurt using a safer form of B12. The other bonus is that unlike other B complexes, this never gives me the "B burps" where you get that unpleasant B aftertaste and given I am experiencing bad pregnancy heartburn this speaks very well for how this complex is made. The only down side is I feel the price is a little high given it's only really a B-25 instead of the B-50 strength however I guess you pay more for better ingredients and the lack of B burps!

Good supplement, but don't forget to eat first (niacin flush)
Posted by iHerb Customer on Aug 14, 2017 | Verified Purchase
I haven't used this supplement a lot, but it does have a great ratio of B vitamins. The capsules also don't contain nasty ingredients. The first time I took a tablet, I totally forgot about the niacin flush. I got very nauseous and a pretty bright red rash nearly all over my body, which lasted for a good half hour. So I advise everyone, who's taking this supplement, to eat a big meal first, than take the tablet. This way the niacin releases slowly, not straight away, in my case.
Too strong
Posted by iHerb Customer on Aug 12, 2017 | Verified Purchase
This was way too strong for me. I have nerve damage at the side of my head and in my temples after a car crash three years ago, and two days after starting taking this they started aching and throbbing again. I did some research (should have done it before I bought this) and found out that vitamin B can actually cause nerve damage if taken in excess for too long. If you don't have severe vitamin B deficency, don't buy this! You might not notice it as fast as I did.
Good vitamins
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 24, 2017 | Verified Purchase
Well supplemented deficiency of vitamin B, especially recommended in anemia.
Feel the difference!
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jun 24, 2017 | Verified Purchase
Having taken many vitamin B supplements over the years due to hypothyroidism and to help with energy levels while working nightshifts I have to say you can truly feel the difference with B-right. My energy levels increased drastically and I never wake feeling as exhausted as I used to, it's the perfect formulation of all the Bs you need in one easily absorbed product!

Globalization of Distributors--Is it the Next Step?
Dec 03, 2013, 08:37 ET from Reportlinker
NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Globalization of Distributors—Is it the Next Step?
Globalization of PPE Manufacturers and End Users Drive Distributor Globalization
This Market Insight provides a qualitative analysis of the opportunities for e-commerce in the global personal protective equipment market. An overview of the PPE industry,demand and distribution structure has been provided. Topics also include distribution trends, purchasing trends, selection criteria and the status of e-commerce in the various PPE product segments. This Market Insight also offers strategic recommendations for market participants. The base year for this research service is 2012.
Executive Summary
• Distributors play a very important role in the personal protective equipment (PPE) industry. PPE manufacturers have traditionally relied on distributors to get their products to end users.
• With the evolving nature of trade and the consolidation and globalization of PPE manufacturers as well as end users, distributors find themselves impacted by decisions that force them to look beyond their traditional boundaries. Thus, distributors are faced with the decision to globalize in order to survive and sustain their business.
• Strategies to globalize include forming alliances or partnerships with suppliers overseas, setting up operations in other countries in order to enter new markets or acquiring other companies either to expand products and services offerings or to expand its geographic presence.
• To be truly customer-driven, suppliers need to adjust their businesses to meet the needs of the customer, which in today's marketplace means local service, local inventory and technical sales people.
• Global suppliers are able to source and supply PPE equipment regionally with shorter lead-times and faster delivery.
• Although globalization of distribution networks may carry unforeseen risks and its success is not always assured, the risks of not getting involved may be even greater.
PPE Industry—Overview
• The PPE industry is highly fragmented and expected to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of X to X% across different products between 2012 and 2017.
• The demand for PPE generally depends on the overall population, employment rates, global economic activity, legislation, and regulatory compliance.
• Europe and the United States continue to be the largest markets in terms of consumption. However, the market is witnessing increasing demand from emerging and transition economies.
• The protective gloves segment, followed by protective apparel and respiratory protection, holds the largest revenue share in the PPE market followed by protective apparel and respiratory protection.
• The North American and European PPE markets are very mature and fragmented, and both of these regions have significant volumes of exports and imports in the overall PPE market. The markets in China, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and South Africa are highly fragmented and dominated by local PPE manufacturers, which in turn makes market penetration difficult for international companies.
• Most suppliers depend on distributors for the dispersion of their products and direct sales to end users make up a very small portion of their revenue. Thus, distributors play a very important role in the PPE industry.
Global PPE Industry Snapshot
• PPE consumption is dependent on the employment in the region.
• Emerging markets have become more attractive to PPE suppliers because of their increased investments in manufacturing and infrastructure activities.
• Rapid population growth, strong economic development, and improving health and safety regulation are forcing suppliers to look at emerging markets in a whole new way.
• The US and Europe account for more than half of the global market in personal protective equipment.
• Growth in the Asian region will be driven by manufacturing and infrastructure projects underway in the Middle East, India, China, and Vietnam.
• In addition to being the world's most populous countries, India and China also have a large industrial workforce that is unprotected from occupational hazards. These countries therefore offer potential for future growth.
• Potential markets exist in Africa, low-income countries in the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia.
PPE Industry Supply Chain—Overview
• In todays market, the line between the manufacturer and distributor is blurred.
• As supply chains become more global, it has become increasingly simple to source PPE from regions where manufacturing cost is lower. An increasing number of distributors are therefore selling products that bear their own names as well as the names of other branded manufacturers.
• However, it is important for PPE manufacturers to have distribution partners that can ensure seamless entries into the market. Larger manufacturers lose perspective at the end-user level and the distributor plays a key role in communicating customer feedback to the manufacturer.
• All end-user companies in hazardous sectors need a wide range of different types of PPE to protect their employees. Most PPE manufacturers are not able to meet all of the PPE needs of a company.
• If end users are to source all of their equipment from a single partner, they choose to do so from a distributor. There is also a trend for manufacturers to become head to toe suppliers.
• Local distributors are able to offer end users many types of services that manufacturers cannot provide themselves. Distributors are therefore a critical link in the chain of how end users acquire PPE.
• Less than X% of PPE is directly sold to end users, the rest of PPE sales are carried out through various distribution channels, demonstrating the significance of supply chain management in building a successful PPE business.
• Distributors are sometimes the only providers in emerging regions such as Africa and South America.
• Apart from the quality of product the other key factors that majority of the PPE distributors expect from an ideal PPE manufacturing company are training, supply chain and logistics management and price consistency.
• It is important for the distributors to get the required technical knowledge about the product so that their personnel can sell it to the customers for critical needs.
• It has been highlighted by the distributors that the larger manufacturers are often poor in supply chain and logistics management. This needs to be improved to ensure timely delivery of product.
• Stability in product price is a crucial factor that enables client retention.

The potent drug Fentanyl is widely used in medicine as a painkiller, and in anesthesia for major surgery. The intensely concentrated opiate is also a recreational street drug, with a growing number of addicted users--some of whom consume it together with chemically related opiates such as heroin.
Fusion profiles George Marquardt, an eccentric gadgeteer in Wichita, KS who became a career clandestine chemist. How important was he? When the feds finally nabbed Marquardt, the country's first "Fentanyl epidemic" dried right up.
Snip from the Fusion interview:
Fentanyl is so deadly that it's nearly impossible to cut or create safely in a clandestine setting. But someone was doing just that: It appeared to investigators that an enterprising individual had cracked the prescription's recipe in an illegal lab and was now selling his secret to drug dealers and other "cooks."
They were right. Their man was a onetime science-fair champion and self-taught chemist in Wichita, Kansas, named George Marquardt.
In an exclusive interview with Fusion, Marquardt -- now 69 and an ex-convict, barred by a court from touching laboratory equipment -- discussed his skills and his trade. "I am not a pharmacist," he said. "I am not an M.D. I'm a fellow that will manufacture a chemical compound if you have a sufficiently large quantity of money."
Marquardt explains to Fusion how wound up producing illegal drugs in the first place: he worked with a pal to produce heroin "using basic lab equipment and old chemistry manuals, some printed in German."
The Walter White of Wichita [Fusion]
"I was perhaps about 14 or 15 years old at the time," he said.
"This is not, you know, as remarkable as you might think," he added. "If you look through these old laboratory manuals, this is just chemistry. Put one step ahead of the next. You work up your products. And I became skillful at feeding one reaction into the other."

Because it gets me, that's why.
To be specific, this is from a tutorial sreen for Mount & Blade: Warband's Napoleonic expansion, which has all the tea, flutes and muskets you could ever want in a multiplayer shooter.
Here's the recently-released expansion's trailer. It's as fun as it looks. Provided you can stomach the reload times.
The Mount & Blade gang at Taleworlds are elevating another mod, this time turning fan-made mod Mount & Musket: Battalion into the paid expansion 'Napoleonic Wars' for M&B Warband. The multiplayer-only DLC drags the warfare sim into the real world during Napoleon's conquest of Europe, with over 220 unique units including engineers, artillery and musicians.
"We re-made it completely from scratch: bigger, better and more," developer Flying Squirrel Entertainment explained in a forum post. As well as shiny new graphics, Napoleonic Wars boasts bags of extra features over the original mod, and has been given a rebalancing.
Arriving this spring, Napoleonic Wars offers five nations from the early 19th century. Warfare's a bit jazzed up since Warband's medieval setting, with guns, artillery including cannons and rockets, and engineers able to construct barricades and plant explosives to destroy enemy structures. There's also a new 'Commander Battles' mode, putting you in charge of squads of bots.
2011's standalone release Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword was also based upon a mod.

When Sneaker News first previewed this new Nike SB Dunk High Premium last July, it offered the world our first look at the newly redesigned Dunk SB sole. Little did we know that we were about to see a significant tech update for Swoosh skateboarding's flagship model, but it was instantly clear from the two-toned outsole and its revamped traction pattern that something special was on the way. Some more photos surfaced in January but judging by that pair's old school tongue tag, it's clear that we're only now seeing the final production model. These joints are done in a two-toned suede colorway that's among the most simple and satisfying SB has offered. You can see more images after the jump, and look for these to hit SB retailers this month. via LTD

Jazeera Hospitality launches Mughlai cuisine restaurants in India
By: SliceofRealLife
New Delhi, 27th September 2013: Jazeera Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., today launched a chain of fine dining authentic Mughlai cuisine restaurants that revisit the Mughal era and brings across the culinary opulence of the period for people in Delhi and NCR to savour. The brand launch was attended by renowned film personalities Raza Murad, Kirron Kher and starlet Huma Qureshi who has been appointed as Jazeera's brand ambassador. Later in the day, renowned politicians, bureaucrats, technocrats and celebrities including Jagdish Tytler, Yoganand Shastri and Anand Kumar, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Tourism, graced the launch party.
Jazeera, which literally means an island, shall be the final destination when it comes to authentic vegetarian and non-vegetarian Mughlai cuisine. It is an introduction of the connoisseurship which the Mughal era lent itself for centuries in India under the royal patronage. Jazeera traces the 'Dastarkhwan' (dining tables) of the seven Mughal emperors who ruled India from 1483 -1858. This chain of restaurants, first of its kind, is an interesting story of how Mughal cuisine evolved from central Asian blandness to Indian richness, of how the two cultures and religions intermingled seamlessly and how a dynasty from a foreign land became so very Indian.
According to M. Zahid, Chairman & Managing Director, Jazeera Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., "The recipes have been derived from ancient manuscripts – the Akbarnama, Ain-i-Akbari, Alwan-e-Nemat, Rukat-e-Alamgiri and Ni'amatnamah which detail the culinary preferences of the Mughal emperors. As per these manuscripts, gold and silver pellets were fed to the chickens, goats and sheep so that their medical properties are passed on to those relishing the cuisine. They were specially reared for the royal table. And as Akbar was vegetarian three times a week, he had his own kitchen garden wherein vegetables were sprinkled with rosewater such that they possess fragrance when cooked. Taking a cue from this, Jazeera has done backward integration and established its own livestock breeding facilities and vegetation fields. Livestock are fed with enriched food products and vegetables are indeed sprinkled with rosewater for enhancing the taste and health benefits. Not to forget the ingredients and garnishing which would be as exotic as in those times so that the exquisiteness is not lost in any way, form or manner. The taste is bound to stay on and make people come back."
Besides the renaissance of the long-forgotten culinary techniques of the Mughal kitchens by expert chefs, even the ambience of the outlets shall portray the life and times of Mughal dynasty. In the first phase, Jazeera is coming up with ten restaurants – three in Delhi; one each in satellite towns Noida and Gurgaon; Meerut, Lucknow, Agra, Jaipur and Chandigarh. In the second phase, Jazeera Hospitality shall be increasing the count in Delhi & NCR besides opening branches in Mumbai and select cities of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. "A few years down the line, our target is to come up with 100 branches. This may sound a little audacious as of now, however I believe it is achievable. Initially, the focus shall be on North India but eventually we shall make a foray in other regions and international market as well," adds M. Zahid.
Raza Murad was of the view that authenticity is a rarity in the highly commercial times that we live in and Jazeera's effors to revive the Mughal splendor are commendable.
Mughals have had a great influence on Indian cooking. For example, the Persian Pulao met the spicy pungent rice dishes of India to become the classic Mughlai Biryani. In fact, food was such a serious aspect that Mughals has a Minister of Kitchens which directly reported to the Prime Minister. Failure led to death penalty. The Kitchen Minister had an army of chefs from as far as Persia, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other central Asian countries; tasters and other sundry staff besides his own budget and accounts. Not to forget that there was a special officer for 'paan' as well! Ice was ferried from mountains daily to keep the sherbets cool. Imperial kitchens were run like state departments. When a dish got approved by the emperor, it earned an appropriate designation – shahjahani, alamgiri, akbari or shahi. The hakim or the royal physician planned the menu as per medicinal benefits of the ingredients. For instance, each grain of rice for the biryani was coated with silver oil, which aided digestion and had aphrodisiacal properties. Emperor's gastronomic delight was a top priority. It is the same delight that Jazeera now brings in for you with all the seriousness that went in to achieve what the emperors desired.

The 'Rolling in the Deep' singer takes over the first place from Britney Spears, preventing the 'Till the World Ends' hitmaker to rule the chart for two weeks in a row.
After giving up No. 1 position to Chris Brown and Britney Spears, Adele has come back to the hot spot on Billboard Hot 200 this week. The U.K. singer has added another 88,000 copies with her sophomore set "21", giving her a total of 1.03 million sold. This makes her the first artist to sell more than a million copies this year.
Last week's champ Britney is pushed to No. 2 as her latest studio installment could only scan another 75,000 units in its second week on sale. Following behind her at the third place on the U.S. albums chart is Kings of Leon. The alternative rock band rise from No. 6 as their set "The King of Limbs" raked in 67,000 this week.
The highest chart entry of this week, meanwhile, is Hollywood Undead. Their second studio album "American Tragedy" opens at No. 4 with 66,000. Another new release which has broken top 10 list of the chart is Asking Alexandria. They land at the ninth place with "Reckless & Relentless" which bows around 31,000.
The rest of the top 10 are filled with holdovers. Wiz Khalifa's "Rolling Papers" slips 2-5 with 59,000, Breezy's "F.A.M.E." shuffles 4-6 with 51,000, "Songs for Japan" compilation CD moves 5-7 with just under 51,000, and Kirk Franklin's "Hello Fear" drops to No. 10 with 31,000.
Bouncing back to the list after getting kicked out, Mumford & Sons' "Sigh No More" moves up from No. 11 to No. 8 with 34,000 copies sold. This latest selling number gives the band a total of 645,000 and makes them this year's second-biggest selling artist, after Adele, so far.
- "21" - Adele (88,000)
- "Femme Fatale" - Britney Spears (75,000)
- "The King of Limbs - Kings of Leon (67,000)

NEW YORK (Billboard) - The Black Eyed Peas on Thursday became the first group in 19 years to send three singles from one album to the top spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
"Imma Be," from the act's chart-topping release "The E.N.D.," rose two places to No. 1, ending the nine-week reign of Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," which slipped to No. 2.
Meanwhile, the all-star charity remake of "We Are The World" slid four places to No. 6 in its second week.
The Peas set a record last year with 26 successive weeks at No. 1 when "Boom Boom Pow" (12 weeks) was followed by "I Gotta Feeling" (14 weeks) atop the chart. The Peas' third single from "The E.N.D.," "Meet Me Halfway" peaked at No. 7 in November.
Wilson Phillips was the last group to score three No. 1s from an album, when its self-titled debut spawned "Hold On," "Release Me" and "You're In Love" in 1990-91.
Young Money's "BedRock" (No. 3), Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" (No. 4) and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Know" (No. 5) each rose one place.
Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" (No. 7), Ludacris' "How Low" (No. 8) and Jason Derulo's "In My Head" (No. 9) were unchanged.
Trey Songz reached the Hot 100 top 10 for the first time with his lucky 13th charting title, "Say Aah," rose two places to No. 10.
The Disney Channel movie premiere of "Starstruck" on February 14 prompted three debuts, thanks to resulting download sales. Sterling Knight, credited as his character Christopher Wilde, provides vocals on each of the new entries: "Hero" (No. 57, the chart's top debut), "Starstruck" (No. 77) and "Something about The Sunshine," with Anna Margaret (No. 81).
Canadian chanteuse k.d. lang captured her second Hot 100 chart appearance, and first since 1992's "Constant Craving" peaked at No. 38, as "Hallelujah (Vancouver Winter 2010 Version) debuted at No. 61. Lang performed the song during opening ceremonies of the XXI Winter Olympics on February 12; a newly recorded studio version appeared on her "Recollection" hits set.

Something for the weekend. Paul Robeson, an incomparable talent, singing The Song of the Volga Boatmen.
Robeson: The voice of evil.
Much as I like Paul Robeson's voice, I think Leonid Kharitonov's version of the Volga Boatmen [You ho heave ho] is far better. It is on You Tube.
One can sympathize with Paul Robeson, forbidden as we was to sing in his own country. But the banal English words of the Soviet anthem should have given him a clue.
"Long live our [sic] Soviet motherland / built by the people's mighty hand".
Indeed! Pfui!

These are after I just woke up from a warm bed, so it looks very pink.
This is the side where I had that massive wound on my face. I had it since July, but thankfully, it went away in November by getting a prescribed cream. My doctor said it could have been MRSA. It didn't seem to scar as bad as I thought it would.

Ahava Dermud Intensive Nourishing Body Cream
Ahava Dermud Intensive Nourishing Body Cream Reviews
Not so Pleasant...This cream had a good consistency and moisturized well--but I just couldn't get past the strong, harsh soapy smell of it. The scent almost made me throw this away--it is very chemical and quite unpleasant. If you enjoy products with uplifting or soothing scents, don't go for this one! — 9 years, 7 months agosparklelake | 3 reviews

Nothing Compares!This Body Cream works GREAT!! Not only do you feel the difference in you skin immediatley but you see the difference. Lasts for hours, so no need for constant re-applying. A little goes a long way, so it makes up for the $$ spent. It softens and soothes. No strong perfume scent. Great to keep at the office, or just to keep at home and use on the family! — 9 years, 9 months agoMarcellaRogers | 2 reviews

text: "Johann Sebastian Bach in the Baroque Era and in Our Time" is a four-week school teacher institute for twenty-five participants, held in Germany, on the music of J. S. Bach and its Baroque Era social, cultural, intellectual, and religious context. Building on the success of three previous NEH summer programs, project director Hilde Binford leads an institute on the life and work of J. S. Bach (1685-1750) within the context of his social, intellectual, cultural, and religious milieu. An audience of teachers of history, German, art, literature, and other disciplines, asserts the project director, is likely to find Bach "a perfect vehicle for an analysis of . . . changes in Europe from the 17th to the 18th centuries." Topics include the emergence of the court, rather than the church, as the center of musical life; the growth of absolute monarchies; the rise of the commercial bourgeoisie; the growth of secularism and materialism; and the coming of the Scientific Revolution. Participants spend time successively in Eisenach, Bach's birthplace; Leipzig, where Bach spent the last decades of his life as a church choirmaster; and Potsdam, the seat of the Prussian monarchy where an elderly Bach met with Frederick II. They visit historical sites, tour museums and musical instrument collections, and attend performances of Bach works. In addition to project director Binford, faculty include musicologists Larry Lipkis (Moravian College), Michael Marissen (Swarthmore College), and George Stauffer (Rutgers University), and scholars of German culture Allen Viehmeyer (Schwenkfelder Library; Youngstown State University) and Peter Wollny (Bach-Archiv Leipzig). History teacher Louise Forsyth (Poly Prep Country Day School) leads curricular-development sessions.

NAGANO – Myanmar has long been notorious for its production of opium poppies, the key ingredient for heroin.
But Nagano Prefecture native Akio Ujihara has set out to help the Myanmarese junta in its fight against drugs by teaching farmers to plant buckwheat instead of poppies to decrease their dependence on the flower for income.
In August, roughly 10 years of effort culminated in his founding of the nonprofit organization Association for Drug and Poverty Eradication, which aims to boost consumption of Myanmar-produced buckwheat and reduce poverty in the country.
"We're still at the half-way point before drugs are fully eradicated from Myanmar," said Ujihara, 71. "Poppy growing is linked directly to poverty in remote regions, and support from flexible private groups is indispensable (for the movement)."
Ujihara, a former agriculture professor at Shinshu University, is an expert in improving buckwheat strains. In 1996, he was asked by the Foreign Ministry to try cultivating the grain on a trial basis in Myanmar, in the hope that it might replace poppies.
He stayed in Myanmar for four years from 1999 as a staff member of the Japan International Cooperation Agency, which gives technical guidance for growing buckwheat.
As a result of such efforts, the number of buckwheat-growing households has increased to more than 2,000, and their products are exported to Japan, where it can be used to make "soba" noodles.
The Myanmar regime has also promoted poppy eradication measures, and according to the U.N. Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, the area under poppy cultivation has decreased about 80 percent from 1996, when it was at its highest level.
Poppy growing is time and labor intensive, and the income of poppy-raising households is less than that of other farming households.
"It is necessary to launch businesses that produce goods with high marketability that can be exported," Ujihara pointed out.
To expand buckwheat consumption, "shochu" (clear distilled liquor) and sweets made from buckwheat are already being sold in Myanmar, but Ujihara's NPO is planning market surveys to see whether medicinal herbs and "ume" (pickled plum) might also serve as substitute crops.
At the same time, it will also begin to train local people so they can also work for poverty eradication.
In Myanmar, Ujihara has earned the nickname "Buckwheat Commander." At home, he plays the Burmese harp.

Zooey Deschanel Reveals that Big Sister Emily Terrorized Her
Hipster crushes Zooey and Emily Deschanel aren't the first two sisters to simultaneously be on different network TV shows. (Remember Tracy Gold and Missy Gold from 'Growing Pains' and 'Benson'?) But, as Zooey pointed out during her appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' the 'New Girl' and 'Bones' stars are the first sisters to simultaneously appear on network shows where one is a drama and the other comedy.
After clearing that up, Zooey spoke about her relationship with her sister. The duo get along great now — they often visit each other in their trailers as their shows are shot on the same Fox lot — but when they were much younger Emily, who is four years older, terrorized Zooey.
Subscribe to TheFW on
According to Zooey, when she was three-years-old, her big sis told her was actually an alien from Neptune who had killed Emily and took over her body. While you may recognize that as the plot to the classic sci-film 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers,' little Zooey knew nothing about that. So instead she was just terrified when Emily would make alien-like faces at her and talk like a robot.
The whole thing actually sounds like a pretty good plot for a sitcom. 'Zooey and Emily: The Early Years,' perhaps?

Close encounter with a rare bear
Creating history with bear bells and an iPhone: Joe Sebille recounts his historical grizzly bear sighting in the North Cascades.
Joe Sebille--the hiker who snapped the first photo of a grizzly in the North Cascades in decades--climbing sandstone rocks above the Pacific Ocean
Editors Note, 2015: Continued research in the area of the 2010 bear photos taken by a hiker in the North Cascades, including photo evidence of an usually large black bear in the immediate vicinity and no hair, scat, tracks or sign of grizzly bears found in the area, have led some bear experts to believe the animal in Joe Sebille's photos was actually a large black bear. It is however still very possible it was a grizzly bear.
It was Joe Sebille's final hike before winter. Soon, snow in the North Cascades would make the landscape too treacherous to navigate.
Joe hiked the same trail three days earlier and noticed 50 cars at the trailhead, but today he was completely alone. To protect himself, Joe carried a long wooden stick covered in bells. He knew he was in bear country.
"I was tense from the get go because I knew that I was going to see a bear, it was just a matter of which corner it was around," Joe said.
After hiking less than 10 miles from the trailhead, Sebille turned a corner and there it was-a bear! Joe shook his bells as hard as he could; the still air rattled with the same ferocity of his pounding heartbeat. He had never been this close to a wild bear!
Sebille was accustomed to sighting bears at a distance of more than 200 yards. This one was less than 75 yards away, and little did he know: it was a grizzly bear.
Joe didn't recognize the bear as a grizzly. He didn't know that the encounter was any more special than an adrenaline rush and photo opportunity.
"I took the pictures because the bear was so close," Sebille said. "The moment itself will stick out in my mind for the rest of my life, like 1080 HD memory format, it's one moment that won't go away."
Several months later, Joe shared his story and photographs with a park ranger who urged him to show the photographs to bear experts. Before long, Joe's photographs constituted the first confirmed grizzly sighting in Washington in 15 years.
Sebille says he hopes his sighting will increase funding for North Cascades wilderness protection. He wants the North Cascades to remain pristine.
"I want people to be like a shadow in the wilderness," Sebille said. "Folks who know about the North Cascades know that it should be untouched and respected, even without a grizzly sighting, the North Cascades should remain untouched forever."
Please help Joe and us support a future for North Cascades grizzly bears by taking action online today.

Marriage Requirements in General
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
What Are the Requirements for Getting Married?
If you are ready to tie the knot, there are few steps to take before the big day. In most states, to get legally married, you must:
- Be at least 18, or obtain a guardian's permission
- Not already be married
- If previously married, know the date of your divorce (if recently divorced, you may need proof of divorce or annulment)
- Get a marriage license (not applicable in common law marriage states)
- Have sufficient mental capacity to understand what you are doing
- Not be closely related to your spouse
You do not need to be citizens of the United States or residents of the state where you marry.
The Marriage License
With the exception of a few states that still recognize common law marriages, a marriage license is required to get married. You can apply for a license at the clerk/recorder's office for your county. Fees vary by state and county.
Some states required a one to five-day "cooling off" period. Once the license is issued, it remains valid for a period, usually 90 days.
Blood Testing and Immunization Records
While most states no longer require a blood test, it is still required in Connecticut, Indiana, Montana, and the District of Columbia. Immunization records may also be required in certain states.
Solemnization Ceremony
The marriage license merely allows you to legally get married. To actually get married, most states require that there be a ceremony with one or two witnesses, presided over by a "solemnization authority." A solemnization authority is someone with state-recognized authority to marry. These are priests, ministers, judges, justices, or magistrates.
Larger cities may offer to perform marriage ceremonies by appointment at city hall.
The Marriage Certificate
Following the marriage ceremony, the solemnization authority must sign the marriage license within 30-90 days, depending on the state. The signed license is sent back to the county clerk, who will generate the marriage certificate. In some states, the certificate is given to the couple after the ceremony.
Seeking Legal Help
If you have any concerns about the marriage process, or if complications arise, you should contact a family lawyer. An experienced lawyer can help with issues such as prenuptial agreements and estate planning.

Do you love photography? You're not alone. A surprising number of teen books feature budding shutterbugs as main characters. Here's a selection:
Exposed by Kimberly Marcus Told in free verse, Exposed is the story of 16-year-old Liz, a photo prodigy whose best friend, Kate, claims she was raped by Liz's brother and stops speaking to her. Other people are avoiding Liz, too, and she finds herself torn between her friends and her family. This one will appeal to fans of Ellen Hopkins and Laurie Halse Anderson.
Snap by Carol Snow Madison is not happy when her parents uproot her and head for a gloomy town in the middle of nowhere. Madison makes new friends and throws herself into photography, but then strange people – who later turn up dead – start appearing in her photos. Snap is a fun and fast mystery.
Sources of Light by Margaret McMullan In 1962, 14-year-old Samantha and her parents move from Pennsylvania to Jackson, Mississippi. As the racially-charged atmosphere of the South begins to impact her life, Samantha uses her camera to document the stirring social change around her. Sources of Light is full of compelling characters.
Curveball: The Year I Lost My Grip by Jordan Sonnenblick When an injury ends star pitcher Peter's baseball career, he's not sure what to do. His crush on a girl in his photography class prompts Peter to explore the box of expensive camera equipment his grandfather gave him, and Peter finds himself in many funny, strange situations as he tries to figure out if there's life after sports.

A suicide car bomber detonated in a busy market in the Iraqi town of Hilla, south of Baghdad, killing several people. There were conflicting police reports about the death toll, ranging from four to 14.
Earlier, a car bomb exploded outside a hospital in the center of a town south of Baghdad on Thursday, killing 30 and injuring 35, a doctor said. Among the victims were four police guards, three women and two children, said Dr. Dawoud al-Taie, the director of the Mahmoudiya hospital.
According to the AP, Iraqi army Capt. Ibrahim Abdeallah conveyed the suicide bomber was targeting U.S. military vehicles parked near the hospital in Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
In other attacks, three Iraqi security officials were shot dead in three separate incidents in Baghdad within an hour on Thursday, according to an Iraqi police official with Baghdad emergency police.
Meanwhile, two American troops died Wednesday of gunshot wounds southwest of Baghdad, the military said Thursday.

Sea Isle City's new skatepark officially opened July 1 in the Dealy Field Recreational Center at 61st Street and Central Avenue.
The concrete and metal skatepark, which is free for public use and was created specifically for skateboarders, has replaced the city's former wooden skatepark which was in the same location.
The former skatepark, though popular, was outdated and didn't offer enough challenges for the skaters, said Katherine Custer, the city's director of community services.
"We're expecting this to be even more popular," Custer said."It's something we wanted to do for our visitors and residents as well - anyone who skates."
The skatepark was designed by California-based Spohn Ranch Inc., a firm that specializes in concrete skateparks and skate plazas, at a cost of nearly $140,000. Construction was completed during the past few months by A-Tech Concrete Co., of Edison, Middlesex County, at a cost of $103,000.
Sea Isle City Mayor Leonard Desiderio made its opening official with a ribbon cutting ceremony in the center of the skatepark July 1.
"It's great,. isn't it," said Desiderio to a crowd of viewers looking over the many ramps, steps and rails that make up the park. "I need to get a skateboard now," he joked.
Sea Isle City summer resident Kevin Stapleton, of Bayside, N.Y., who watched the ribbon cutting with his young son and nephew who were waiting for the ceremony to finish so they use the skatepark, said he commends the city for taking an interest in recreational opportunities for the children.
"It's a really nice social atmosphere for the kids, which is important these days," Stapleton said. "I bring them here to get them away from the video games. The other night we were here, and there was a group of teenagers hanging out in the park, having fun, doing tricks."
Sea Isle City has one of the few municipal-run skate parks in the area. Its hours of operation are 9 a.m. to dusk and safety gear is required.

Positive Feedback ISSUE
march/april 2007
You want it hard or soft ...your
isolation that is?
When Dave Clark sent me a box with two sets of isolation footers from Gingko Audio and No Name HiFi, I knew I was going to be in for a treat. See, while No Name HiFi is a new company with their NRABs, I have always seen news and press about the many products from Gingko Audio, but had never really given them all that much thought. On the other hand, I had planned on someday obtaining some of Walker Audio's Valid Points to try out in my system. But, I was happy using a cute little product from a Canadian company called Gooeys. My Simaudio i3 integrated is a hefty little bugger and since the feet were seemingly impossible to remove and too tall for the Gooeys, I left it alone on my pARTicular rack. The UDP-1 was another issue and after I removed the footers, I found that the Gooeys did a fine job and actually were better than the footers that came with my UDP-1.
First things first: I opened the box and took out the Gingko Mini Clouds ($99 for a set of three). The black acrylic bases with their "seated" green balls were first placed under the UDP-1. Since I recently added the Tara/Oyaide cords and the Oyaide AC Receptacle, I thought that I was quite happy with the improvements in sound. However, what happened next was nothing short of astonishing. Immediately the sound stage opened up, way beyond what I had heard as sited before. Side to side, front to back, and top to bottom, the soundstage developed a rich organic texture previously unheard of by this Texan! Though I am an unabashed classical music geek, one of my current audition discs is, oddly enough, Lyle Lovett's Joshua Judges Ruth. I particularly like the second track, Church, as any change in the system will make itself immediately clear by its effect on the handclaps and spoken lines (think of a deep south Baptist church were the parishioners are very vocal) and shouts/exclamations. With the Mini Clouds, it was easier to realize the back of the studio and a sense of palpable space. Other CDs used were a RBCD from Reference Recordings of the UT-Austin Wind Ensemble and a Decca RCBD of Charles Duthoit and the Montreal Symphony performing Holst's The Planets. The UT Wind Ensemble recording opened up dramatically with the internal clarity of the ensemble being greatly improved. On the Duthoit recording, I had always felt that the recording placed the orchestra on a much "lower" soundstage …almost as if I was sitting in an upper balcony as opposed to the floor level. With the Mini Clouds, I was no longer looking down on the orchestra, as they projected a soundstage at an even level. Other recordings included Mahler's 1st Symphony with MTT and the SFSO (SACD), music of Hindemith (A Decca CD with Blomstedt and the SFSO) as well as some RUSH and Elton John. By this point I was convinced that the Mini Clouds rocked.
The other day a good audio friend came over to hear my system with the Gingko Mini Clouds. He was so impressed with the improvements he heard in my system that he went home and ordered a set for his UDP-1! When his Mini Clouds came in, he brought his set to my place and we did a brief experiment, placing the second set of Mini Clouds under my Sim i3. Once again, my recordings became even smoother, more organic, and just downright more fun. So, I will soon secure a second set for my Sim i3.
I said in my article about the Oyaide AC receptacles that the $85 I paid was the best money I ever spent. Well, when I add the second set of Mini Clouds to my system, the $99 for those footers will be money even better spent! Want a massive jump in sound for very little money? I can heartily recommend the Mini Clouds.
Gingko Audio www.gingkoaudio.com
No Name HiFi
The other set of isolation "suspenders" come from a new company called No Name HiFi. This set of footers are quite different from what I have seen before, in that most companies give you three footers and NNHF give you four footers. These footers feature a small diameter porcelain cup that holds a smallish wooden ball. Under the cup is a small piece of foam material that seems to compress quite readily. I used the same music for this evaluation, as I did for the Gingko Mini Clouds.
I am including the following technical information from the No Name HiFi website:
Spikes work in one side. But NRABs work in both sides and as far as they are placed under the components, they will open up the soundstage, increase dynamics and reduce excessive bass at the room. Apart from rolling balls or ceraballs, when resonances of the component or audio rack are transmitted to NRAB's wooden ball, wooden ball wants to vibrate in sympathy with the harmonic distortion and literally steals the energy from the component. The energy is then is damped out and turned into heat by wood's natural damping coefficients.
The NRABs consists of two parts: The 1-1/2" diameter of US made precision wooden ball made of pendula wood and hand made the porcelain basement. Wooden balls are not treated with any synthetic polish, lacquer or paint to preserve original resonant characteristics of wood. But they are covered a special rigid powder. The balls function as a shock absorber for resonances and vibrations. The ball sucks vertical vibration from top and the bottom and absorbs by vibrating itself. As the component is placed on the NRAB, the vibration energy contacts the ball by the component and by the audio rack and absorbed at the ball without crossing other side.
What I experienced with the NRABs from No Name, though quite revelatory, is very different from that of the Gingko's. That is, I heard a good deal more pinpoint detail and resolution from the NRABs than with the Mini Clouds. The soundstage on the Lyle Lovett CD was rendered with extreme detail and an intense (almost too) crispness and snap to the overall sound. Orchestral string sound was ever so slightly less warm. I do not want this to be taken as a negative statement about the NRABs, as I personally prefer a decidedly warmer and more organic feel to my music. In fact, the NRABs are easily as good as the Mini Clouds in bringing about a noticeable change. The issue is how your system is voiced before you put these under your components. I think that the NRABs would be an excellent choice for a system that leans towards the slow or soft side of the musical spectrum—one that is in need of some snap and detail resulting in a substantial jump in enjoyment. On the other hand, if your system is perhaps a trifle too edgy, then the Mini Clouds will add a nice degree of warmth and smoothness. What is perhaps best of all is that at $99 for the Mini Clouds and $109 for the NRABs you can expect, as I did, a tremendous increase in performance for a very small investment.

The page doesn't mention the games it's in. Is it in any of the games? I'm not interested in guns so I don't care enough to know their names to know if I've ever used one. LOL! Anyway, if this gun isn't used in a GTA game then there is no reason for this page. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 07:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- The only G3 variant that would be in the GTA games would be the PSG-1 rifle, which is based off the CETME/G3 platform and is a much more precise and expensive variant of the G3/SG1 and MSG-90 rifles. But the Heckler & Koch G3 battle rifle and its variants make no known appearance. I am voicing my opinion for the next-gen games starting with GTA3, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Gman harmon 15:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Let's see if I actually understood that. So G3 is like a brand, that makes all these guns that you mentioned, which one of them is in the game, making this page necessary? Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 03:51, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- G3 is the particular model designation of the firearm(s) in question, whereas Heckler & Koch is the maker of the firearms themselves. HK also produces the MP5 and the PSG-1, as noted above. Insofar as the talk page is concerned, I don't believe it is needed, since I have no knowledge of picking up or using a G3-pattern rifle in any GTA game to date. Gman harmon 04:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK, Thanks for the help. While it is a good start, the "approval" of one user is certainly not enough to delete ANY page. Especially with a topic like this as it comes down to observation. I will add a delete tag though. Does anyone else know whether this gun is used in a game? Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 05:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
