Resolution Recap
Well, the first quarter of the year is over (wow, my day job has clearly brainwashed me because I don't think I used to think about a year broken up by quarters) and I'm reviewing the resolutions I made for 2014 (see my resolutions post here).
Let's recap my original resolutions:
1. De-stress — mediate 10 mins every day
2. Get fit — move 30 mins every day
3. Eat healthy — eat 3 cups of veggies
4. Get more sleep — get ready for bed at 10 pm on weeknights
Wellllllll… life got in the way a bit on these. My January and February weren't too bad, but March is the busiest month of the year at work and all of these took a backseat. I'm starting fresh again for April.
Four ways I will accomplish my goals:
1. Meditate
Uhhh… I seriously have no idea how I'm going to do this. If anyone has any tips, I'm open to anything. When I think of meditation, I think of a bunch of monks, sitting in a circle, chanting. Can I really just sit there listening to my breath? What do I do if my mind is constantly thinking of my to-do list? How do I turn it off? Do I need to turn it off?
My goal is 10 minutes x 7 days per week

2. Move every day
My desk job might be the worst thing for my body. I sit down all day and I have very poor posture. I always feel better after I exercise, even if I'm only moving for 30 minutes. I stand taller. I sit taller. I feel good. And that's what my plan is – I want to feel good.
But I've become really good at making excuses. My neighborhood has no sidewalks and the roads have really skinny shoulders, so I won't walk outside. Running has never been my favorite thing, walking on the treadmill was never ideal for me and I feel uncoordinated on the elliptical. And when I run out of excuses? I realize I like the exercise bike, so my cardio will be on wheels. My goal is to do that for 30 minutes x 3 days per week.
For 2 days per week, I want to lift weights. And not 3 pound free weights – I want to push myself. Kettlebells, leg presses, overhead lifts, etc. I was always scared of weight machines in the gym because I didn't know how to use them and I didn't want people to think I didn't know how to use them. NOT ANYMORE! I'm going to learn how to use these weights and machines and I'm going to ace them.

3. Eat healthy
The biggest difference in my diet over the last year has been fewer days cooking at home and more days eating out. Since eating out used to be a treat for me, I would pretty much get what I wanted to. But then I kept this same mindset when it was happening more frequently –
Yes, I'll split that app with you
Sure, I'll check out the dessert menu
I'd LOVE fries with that
And with no change to my exercise regimen (holding steady at zilch), my pants started to get a little tighter.
While I don't imagine myself going all out with meal planning and cooking every single night, there are some smaller, manageable goals I can start doing.
No, I don't want any apps (wow, an even harder goal for me: saying no. That's a separate blog post!)
I'm full, I couldn't possibly have dessert
I'll have a side of steamed veggies (or small side salad) instead of fries
I really want to start using the ultimate work night savoir to its full potential: the crock pot!!! The Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker is my favorite.
My boyfriend's favorite meal: Best Pot Roast EVER
A big favorite in our house! Moroccan Chicken
Another favorite: Crockpot BBQ Beer Chicken
These are definitely on my list to try
This looks so good!
When dinner can be ready as soon as I walk in the door (and when a side of rice and salad can be whipped up in 30 minutes), I won't be eating at 8 pm and I won't be doing dishes all night either. Win, win, win!
4. Get more sleep
This has been my toughest resolution to keep, by far. I have always struggled to get out of bed (just ask my former alarm clock – my mother). Then, I used to be someone who stayed up until at least midnight on work nights. And I would still struggle to get out of bed. Does this mean I need over 8 hours of sleep? Probably. But I didn't want to go to bed at 10! There was so much to do! To read! To watch on TV! And my boyfriend doesn't need that much sleep, so I want to stay up and hang out with him!
PS. This would never work for me – I would probably get up, turn it off and go back to bed.
I really need to make it a point to start getting ready for bed at 10 pm. I love to read before bed so if I can be in bed by 10:30, read for a little, lights off by 11, wake up at 8 — that's NINE HOURS!! I know I may need more sometimes if I'm sick or didn't get enough sleep the night before, but I know getting enough shut eye will improve my mood, my energy and my stress, so I need to make this a priority.
Looks like I'll be setting an alarm to GO to bed.
A new resolution
In reevaluating my resolutions, I have a new one to add: get my health coaching business up and running.
I received a certificate in Health Coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (interested in attending? ask me how!!) and I want to help people overcome their struggles with chronic dieting. We are all players in the diet industry's game to set unrealistic goals for us and to convince you to start the greatest, newest fad diet — eat this not that, lose 20 pounds in 2 days, get a 6 pack in 6 days.
IIN's curriculum is not based on one perfect diet for everyone – we are all different people, our bodies are all different, we shouldn't be eating the same diet. But how many of us struggle with finding what is right for us? Maybe I shouldn't eat carbs? Maybe I shouldn't eat meat? How many diets have you tried and you don't feel like any are helping you? (See how I rejected diets here)
That's where I come in. I want to help you break out of the dieting mindset and get you focused on feeling good about yourself. Your diet doesn't define you.
I need to break down this huge resolution into much smaller goals, but the larger goal is easier to explain. I want to blog more often (2 x per week) and set up a newsletter (1 x month). And I need to start networking to find clients. If you have any advice for that, I'm all ears – this will be my biggest challenge.
Did you check in on your resolutions after the first quarter of the year?
Do you need less than 8 hours of sleep each night? (Soooooo jealous!)
Do you have any networking advice for me??

Opinions on best parings for Harry Potter
Harry/Ginny (Only really acceptable for either)
Harry/Hermione= Eww, imagine dating your own sister, it's delusional to think that this paring will EVER work. (Exception in the case of Fem!Harry)
Harry/Tonks= Can be done.
Harry/Bellatrix= Wrong in 99.9% of cases
Harry/Malfoy= Totally sick and wrong
Harry/Snape= Makes my skin crawl, plus he loathes Harry
Harry/Voldemort= vomit in disgust, come on Voldy is like 50-60 years older than Harry… SICK AND UTTERLY WRONG
I HATE fanfiction slash in M/M forms, the worlds that slash are written for would historically wise execute the slash partners (It's true about the periods especially HP and LOTR). And in the case of the HP world only Dumbledore 'batted for the home team' All others were straight... for LOTR THERE IS NOTHING TO SUGGEST SUCH THINGS ANYWHERE IN TOLKIEN'S WORK
Current stories:
Harry Potter and the Burning Hellfire: This is a story of an evil Harry and Ginny, where they find a dark book that burns their souls and makes them damned and immortal demons, watch as Hellbolt (Harry) and Blackfire (Ginny) conquer the world and destroy Voldemort in a horrible and gruesome manner. will be rated M, supposed to be MA
Parings Planned: H/G RW/HG/ RL/NT SB/none OFC: Complete
2013 note: I'm surprised at the acclaims this story got despite the horrid writing, there's a 2% chance I may rewrite this someday.
Harry Potter and the Ring of Doom: HP/LOTR crossover, Harry and Ginny go through the veil and try to find Sirius in a new land, based post OOTP (HP) and post attack on Weathertop
Parings Planned: H/G Aragorn/Arwen : Abandoned
2013 note: I abandoned this because there were too many big shoes to fill, I think Nimbus Llewelyn and LATMC did the H/G LOTR stuff best. And Azraeos's abandoned The Black Wizard as well.
Shadowfire series: This is a crossover between Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the rings, The Shadowfire series is being rewritten as The Metallics on the advise of my beta and will after Lord of the Rings is done have crossovers with other worlds. No Mary-Sue, everything follows the rules of LOTR and D&D. Let me make this point to you people who think that they can spork me behind my back (I have deleted the original shadowfire and I frequently search google for people who try to laugh at me behind my back). Also to the point this series is a CROSSOVER you cannot rightly call my character a Sue if she has abilities already referred to you people. (SRD 3.5 DATABASE FOR DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS) Bear in mind if I find you I am NOT going to be happy but am willing to reason with you about certain things about my stories.
Shadowfire the Metallics: Indefinite Hiatus
The Wizards and the Warlock: On long term hiatus
A HP/WoW crossover, Harry and Ginny are taking a portkey (AU HBP) when Voldemort attacks. A spell connects with the portkey and sends them to Desolace where they meet a Warlock called BlackRose Drathras and her death knight husband. and after becoming powerful warlocks level 80 in game terms and will have to fight both Voldemort and the Lich King, can they prevent these two great enemies from working together or will Arthas and Voldemort ease everybody's troubles and kill the other? (On hiatus pending plot and chapter 2 changes)
Drow Tales: Hiatus
A Fem!Harry Potter story crossover with Forgotten Realms. Harry is found by Xathrala (Fem!Xapferey Sharnoras) after a spar with Lloth (Goddess of the Drow) and Sirokass (God of Hell Dragons) went too far.
Goddess/smart/cruel/mostly evil/drow/Fem! Harry Potter.
Pairings currently planned:
Xathrala/Lloth/Sirokass (F/F/M)
On hold due to lack of ideas.
An Interview of Shadow and Fire: A spin off of the Shadowfire universe where you readers get to ask questions of the Shadowfire Characters. (Debating removal) - it was a silly idea and I did not get the reviews I wanted
Dark Tides Trilogy:
Dark Tides: A Dungeons and Dragons story; a man from our world is brought to Faerun by a magical accident during Halloween, when the dead world is closest to our own. Now 300 years later the minted Elder Vampire fighter/cleric Xaphras Deathwalker and his sorceress/rogue wife Dana are clearing a dungeon for the wealth and magic within. (Complete, posting every Wednesday and Saturday)
Dark Tides 2: The Return on Darker Tides: Continuation from Dark Tides, where Xaphras was brought to Faerun, so shall he and his wife return to Earth only to find a zombie apocalypse underway. Xaphras searches for his old friends, for old time sake, will the Zombies turn Dana? What shall happen to Xaphras and his love? (Writing in progress) (Walking Dead section cancelled… rewriting as general zombie apocalypse). Hiatus
Dark Tides 3: Untitled as yet: STRONG AU crossover with the Hobbit, Xaphras and Dana replace Bilbo in the party of Dwarves, due to the offer of more experienced adventurers and those who have fought and slain Dragons. Xaphras uses his knowledge from Earth about the Hobbit to gain the One Ring per Nerull's command to secure all powerful artefacts to his will, some crossover with Halo after Hobbit. (Planning in progress)
Current stories
Chronicles of the Draconic Knight: Two men from our world seek to form a new life for themselves after an unexpected twist of fate, what changes will they make and where will they explore? (Record of Lodoss war story)

A southern Ontario city is calling on the federal Health Minister to intervene in her department's decision to suspend the licence of one of only two companies in Canada that sells a commonly used chemotherapy drug.
St. Catharines city council passed a motion on Monday night asking Rona Ambrose to ensure the "long-term viability" of Biolyse Pharma Corp., a generic drug maker Ottawa temporarily shut down on April 11, citing concerns about manufacturing, testing and documentation at the company's plant.
The regulatory agency also barred the company from shipping out finished batches of the only drug it produces, an injectable chemotherapy medication called paclitaxel that is used primarily to treat breast, lung and gynecological cancers.
Biolyse, which has threatened legal action against Health Canada, is warning that the suspension could force it to fold, which it says would imperil the supply of paclitaxel in this country.
The United States is experiencing a shortage of paclitaxel, according to the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, which tracks pharmaceutical shortfalls south of the border.
However, Health Canada and provincial cancer agencies contacted by The Globe and Mail say they see no signs of a paclitaxel shortfall here and are not expecting one because the other Canadian supplier, Hospira Healthcare Corp., has promised to fill the gap.
"We've received confirmation from Hospira that they have adequate supply to supply the Canadian market. We at this point have no indication that there is a shortage," said Scott Gavura, director of provincial drug reimubursment at Cancer Care Ontario.
Despite concerns serious enough to halt operations at the plant, Health Canada did not recall any of the paclitaxel already on hospital shelves, which one drug policy expert called puzzling.
"I found that, actually, pretty strange," said Joel Lexchin, a professor in the school of Health Policy and Management at York University and an emergency room doctor at Toronto's University Health Network. "If they think that the plant should no longer be manufacturing it, then I don't know why they wouldn't recall the drugs that the plant had been making."
Health Canada responded that in deciding against a recall it had to weigh the risk of interrupting the supply of a cancer medication that is fairly widely used. For instance, about 1,000 patients per month take the drug in Ontario alone, while 1,918 patients in British Columbia took it in 2013-2014.
"Given the critical role of paclitaxel in cancer therapy, Health Canada had to consider all factors, including the risk to patients of a possible short-term disruption in their treatment with paclitaxel. The department determined that the product already on the market does not pose a significant risk to health and can continue to be used," the regulator said in an e-mailed statement.
Cancer care agencies in two of the largest provinces that use paclitaxel from Biolyse – Ontario and British Columbia – said through spokespeople that they trusted Health Canada's conclusions and had no concerns about treating patients with a drug produced at the St. Catharines factory.
Health Canada said it is working to resolve issues at the plant, but Biolyse president Brigitte Kiecken argued it might already be too late to save her company, which was poised to expand with a loan of up to $2.9-million from Ottawa announced last September.
Ms. Kiecken said that because production has been paused for more than a month, the company is in danger of losing contracts with the group-purchasing organizations that buy chemotherapy drugs for hospitals.
Those buyers will now turn to the competition and force Biolyse to pick up the incremental cost, she predicted.
"If they buy [paclitaxel] from the competition at [a higher price] a vial, we have to pay the difference. We sell it at $50. The company will be bankrupt before you know it," Ms. Kiecken said.
That would force the company to throw 60 people out of work in a city of just over 130,000.
"If your staff are going to force ... a company out of business, we think that deserves the minister's attention," St. Catharines mayor Brian McMullan said, adding he understands the department's need to guard public safety. "We're saying there's got to be another way besides forcing this company out of business, given that they've got a long and proven track record."
Rick Dykstra, the Conservative MP for St. Catharines, said his office has been toiling for weeks to get the plant up and running again and that city council should not expect the minister to intervene in the work of inspectors trying to ensure Biolyse produces a safe drug.
"There's no way the minister is going to supersede the authority of officials who have spent a lifetime in this industry," he said.
It is unclear what will happen to the price provincial governments pay for paclitaxel if Biolyse goes under.
Ms. Keicken said her customers include suppliers of hospitals in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and B.C., which gets its entire supply of paclitaxel from the company.
The group buyers who use Biolyse could go out to tender again. Besides Hospira, two other companies have permission to sell the drug in Canada, but neither does at the moment.
The next move for Biolyse is completing a "media fill," a kind of test run requested by Health Canada's inspectors. Ms. Kiecken said it would take at least three weeks to get the results, a delay she insists Biolyse cannot afford.
"I wish somebody would come and take a second look at this. Who's inspecting the inspectors?" she said. "If you get a bad experience with a policeman, you can go to the police station and complain and they'll have a department for you. In this case, you get mistreated by some inspector and nobody listens."
A spokesman for Ms. Ambrose said late on Tuesday in an e-mail that the minister has asked Health Canada to continue to work with the company and will not get involved.
"We understand Health Canada has inspectors on stand-by ready to go into re-inspect the facility as needed, and will continue to work with the company."Report Typo/Error

Activation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) by chromosomal translocations or point mutations is a frequent event in haematological malignancies. JAK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates several cellular processes by inducing cytoplasmic signalling cascades. Here we show that human JAK2 is present in the nucleus of haematopoietic cells and directly phosphorylates Tyr 41 (Y41) on histone H3. Heterochromatin protein 1alpha (HP1alpha), but not HP1beta, specifically binds to this region of H3 through its chromo-shadow domain. Phosphorylation of H3Y41 by JAK2 prevents this binding. Inhibition of JAK2 activity in human leukaemic cells decreases both the expression of the haematopoietic oncogene lmo2 and the phosphorylation of H3Y41 at its promoter, while simultaneously increasing the binding of HP1alpha at the same site. Tauhese results identify a previously unrecognized nuclear role for JAK2 in the phosphorylation of H3Y41 and reveal a direct mechanistic link between two genes, jak2 and lmo2, involved in normal haematopoiesis and leukaemia.

Wladimir Klitschko isn't as glib as Muhammed Ali. He doesn't look as impressive in the ring as Mike Tyson. He's not as unbeatable as Rocky Marciano. But, it's an easy bet that the reigning WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring Champion is the smartest and most eloquent heavyweight in the sport's history.
The owner of a Ph.D. in Sports Science, the Olympic Gold Medalist holds a professional record of 57-3 with 50 knockouts. But, despite his impressive record and well-spoken media savvy, Klitschko has struggled to capture the passionate imagination of boxing fans due to a methodical, but effective fighting style.
"Dr. Steel Hammer" doesn't float like a butterfly and he doesn't hit with the raging fury of Tyson or George Foreman. Klitschko tends to stand upright, with his weight on his back foot – using the natural advantage that comes with his 6'6" height to keep him out of an opponent's range. Klitschko waits behind his big jab and the occasional left hook – always trying to drive his opponent toward his powerful right hand.
It's not visually exciting, but it's earned Klitschko the linear heavyweight championship held by Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, etc. That title is disputed only by the WBC belt held by Wladimir's brother, Vitali.
The heavyweight champ took a break from his training in the Austrian Alps for his title defense against Tony Thompson to discuss his place in history and what the future looks like for big men's boxing.
CraveOnline: What's your training routine as you get ready to defend the title?
Wladimir Klitschko: I train six days a week for four to five hours a day. I like to keep the same schedule when I'm in camp for every fight. It's beautiful up here and a great place to train.
CraveOnline: To play devil's advocate, there are critics out there who say the heavyweight division has lost its drama and star power. As the linear heavyweight champion, how do you feel about those claims?
Wladimir Klitschko: I have to defend my title against whomever the next challenger is. For this rematch with Thompson, I'm facing a guy who gave me one of my toughest fights. He's a good opponent and I think it'll be a great fight.
I always remind people I have 50 knockouts in 57 fights. There's nothing boring
CraveOnline: With the emergence of bigger, taller heavyweight like you and Lennox Lewis, there's a concern amongst boxing lovers that we've lost those great heavyweights on the shorter side like Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson. Should there be a separation of the weight classes to drive the super heavyweights up – to get the smaller heavyweights back in the title picture?
Wladimir Klitschko: I don't think so. Look at a guy like Mike Tyson and the power he was able to generate even at his height.
CraveOnline: But would a Tyson have a shot against you with your reach advantage?
Wladimir Klitschko: It's not my place to compare myself to greats like Tyson, Frazier or men like that. But I would look at a fighter like Evander Holyfield. He's a great heavyweight who worked his way up through the weight classes to become champion and had to beat bigger men along the way.
CraveOnline: This will be your 58th fight. How much longer do you see yourself fighting?
Wladimir Klitschko: I feel good. I'm in good shape. But I realize I'm 36, not 25. And my opponents are getting younger. I understand it will be over at some point, but this won't be my last fight.
CraveOnline: At 36, are you concerned about concussions – as so many in sports are these days?
Wladimir Klitschko: There are risks for everyone in every profession. If you're a rock star, you have to worry about drugs and alcohol. If you're a politician, you have to look out for somebody putting a bullet in your head. There's always risks. And I consider politicians to be a danger for my opponents.

This hostel was probably the cleanest one i've been to so far. The kitchen is also very good, but ir can get really hot in there when several people are cooking. I wouldn't recommend it to young people that are looking for a place to meet other people and to have a fun night out, because the hostel is really quiet and there are a lot of older people staying there (probably because it is in such a quiet and nice neighbourhood.)

Blood type A contains the A antigen on the surface of the red blood cells and has antibodies to the B antigen in the plasma. Rh negative blood does not contain the antigen on the surface of the red blood cell, and may develop antibodies against the antigen if the blood is sensitized, by exposure to blood that contains the antigen.
1. I want to know the advantages and disadvantages of A Negative blood group
2. I also want to know if there is any complication in A-Negative group type Marrying someone with O-positive
3. I want to know how strong A-Negative Blood Type is regards ***** ***** germs,bacteria and infections
The primary disadvantage of having A neg blood is the possibility of sensitization by exposure to Rh positive blood, so is an issue if marrying an O pos individual (or A pos, B pos, or AB pos). If the child that is conceived is Rh pos, it will commonly sensitize the mother, which generally isn't a problem with the current pregnancy, but can cause problems in subsequent pregnancies, and can be severe. This is not as much of a problem as it once was, as there are interventions that can be done to dramatically decrease the risk. There is a small risk of problems with the newborn with ABO incompatibility, but it is much less common and is generally mild. This tends to occur in type O mothers with types A or B infants, but it has been reported in type A mothers with type B children, but the pairing of a type A neg mother and an O pos father cannot generate a type B child, so there is no risk in this pairing.
There are several studies that look at the effect of blood type on infections. There are certain germs that have an easier time affecting persons with certain blood types because the antigens on the surface of the cell is similar to the A or B antigen. Since a type A person does not make antibodies to the A antigen, the immune system does not recognize an antigen similar to the A antigen. It is the same for type B blood and germs with an antigen similar to the B antigen. Since there are typically multiple antigens on the surface of germs, this is only a relative risk. There is no blood type that causes 100% risk or 100% protection. There are advantages and disadvantages of each blood type. For example, type A is more at risk for Staph infections, but is relatively protected against tuberculosis. But since all infections happen in all blood types, it really does not change the approach to any specific infection.
Thanks for your answers so far. I have more few questions to ask.
1. I want to know what can make released sperm into a woman to be stagnant and not moving
2. I also want to know if Staph can cause infertility in a man OR cause non movement of a released semen.
3. I want to know if Staph can be totally cured
Non-motile sperm are generally a defect in the formation of the sperm. The exact cause is frequently not able to be identified, but it does not appear to be due to infection. There are some cases that are related to a varicocele, which is a collection of distended veins in the scrotum, and is the only cause of non-motile sperm that is potentially treatable. Non-motile sperm may be due to defective sperm or to autoimmune conditions. Generally, if there is a significant problem with non-motile sperm, it is necessary to use assistive reproductive techniques to become pregnant.
An infection of the male reproductive tract can contribute to infertility, either during the infection or due to scarring from the infection, but infection of the male reproductive tract are only rarely caused by Staph. The problem in these causes is blockage of passage of sperm, but it does not affect the motility of the sperm.
Infections by Staph can be cured. The problem lies in the fact that Staph is one of many germs that exist on the skin without causing infection, which is referred to as colonization. You can never completely eradicate the colonized forms of Staph. The only protection against infection in this setting is good hygiene, particularly good hand hygiene.
Thanks Dr. Love.
1. I want to know if non-motile sperm can be cured
2. I want to know also the best treatment for non-sperm motile or drugs that can treat/cure it, if curable.
2. Can you prescribe any drugs that is very effective in curing staph SP
The only cause of non-motile sperm that is potentially treatable is if it is due to a varicocele. It wold require an examination to see if this is the problem. If a person has a mixed picture of male infertility, the other aspect may be treated, but no medicine has been shown to help non-motile sperm. No expert at JustAnswer can prescribe medicines. It would require a visit to your physician.
Hello Dr. Love,
Thanks for your assistant so far, Please i want you to clarify me on this seminal annalyses result.
Time produced: 2:20PM
Time examined: 2:35PM
Appearance: Cre***** *****
Volume: approximately 2.0ml
Viscosity: Liquefied
Liquidified Time: Between 1 hr of production
Linear Activity: 70%
Sluggish: 10%
Inactivity: 20%
Morphological abnormality: Pin headed spermatozoa +.
Pus cell: 4-5
Epith cells: 2-3
Count: 17,400,000cells/ml
please can you explain to me the meaning of this result and your advice.
The bulk of these findings are OK. Although the overall concentration of sperm is on the low side, the percentage of linear motility is good (it should be >60%) and the concentration of motile sperm is above the expected threshold of 8 million. There are several findings that suggest that there may be an infection of the male genital tract, including the pus (white blood cells), red blood cells, and the increased liquidified time. The next step should be to be evaluated for an infection and started on appropriate antibiotics.
Please remember to click Accept for me to get credit for my work.
Please, regards ***** ***** answer to my last question, what is the name of the test that i am expected to do to evaluate the kind of genital infection and before knowing what kind of antibiotics to take.
Secondly, the culture of the Seminal Analysis I took indicated that I have a mixed moderate growth of Strept species and Staph aureus, I know what staph is but I do not know what Strept species is. Could that be the genital infection you talked about or do i still have to undergo through another test for infections, if yes what kind? I mean name of test I need to undergo.
The first test to assess for an infection would be an examination, such as a digital rectal examination and examination of the scrotum. If the exam indicates the type of infection, then treatment will be based upon the findings of the exam. Common antibiotics would include Bactrim or doxycycline. There are several species of Staph and Strep that occur on the skin, so the growth on the culture may reflect that skin germs had gotten into the specimen, but the doctor will correlate the findings on examination to determine whether these germs need to be treated.

Requisite Press Reports Minimal Change in New-Car Affordability Gap in May
LOS ANGELES--June 11, 2014: Requisite Press, LLC reported today a May 2014 ABAI of 52.3. A score of 52.3 indicates that a U.S. median-income buyer following the 20-4-10 auto financing rule can only afford 52.3 percent of the May new-car average transaction price (ATP). This equates to a maximum affordable price of $15,763, assuming a median income of $52,959 and an ATP of $30,123.
While the May ABAI increased slightly from the April index of 52.1, the gap between the affordable and average prices remained greater than $14,000. The May ABAI increase was largely due to an ATP decrease, down 0.7 percent from last month.
"There are a few good options in the affordable price range," said Phil Kelton, president of Requisite Press. "However, the variety and quality of choices—particularly for families—increases significantly by bumping up the spending limit. These choices become accessible with a long-term loan, but household financial security suffers."
A $24,000 car financed with a 7-year loan, results in monthly payments similar to the affordable scenario. However, the total cost of the purchase increases by more than $11,000, including more than $2,200 of additional interest cost.
The monthly ABAI was developed to enable buyers to easily view current new-car prices in the context of sound financial advice. The 20-4-10 auto financing rule consists of a minimum 20 percent down payment, a maximum 4-year loan term, and monthly payments of no more than 10 percent of gross household income. The rule is widely recommended by personal finance experts to maintain financial security, avoid excessive interest costs, and preserve future investment opportunities.
For additional information:
An affordable monthly payment (including principle and interest) was calculated by taking 10 percent of the monthly median household income, and subtracting a monthly insurance premium. The affordable price was calculated using this monthly payment, a 20 percent down payment, a 48-month term and interest rate, and sales tax. The index is equal to the affordable price divided by the average transaction price, and then multiplied by 100.
Median household income is based on the latest U.S. Current Population Survey, derived and published by Sentier Research, LLC (May 30, 2014).
May 2014 average transaction price reference is a combination of industry sources.

Chicken Charlie Reveals This Year's Cholesterol Contenders
Courtesy of Chicken Charlie
Shhh... that sound you hear is your arteries clamping shut as a preventative measure. They know county fair season is right 'round the corner, and that means deep-fried God-only-knows-what, sure as eggs is eggs.
Our brethren and sistren at Squid Ink up there in that Angeles-something-or-other place have wheedled this year's heinous-but-possibly-delicious fried treats menu out of Chicken Charlie.
Last year, you may remember, they fried Klondike bars and butter (or they said they did--we're sorry, but until they deep-fry a full-on stick of butter without wrapping it in a churro, it does not count), and of course deep-fried Twinkies and bacon and vegetables are all normal parts of the fair.
This year, they'll be deep-frying brownies, Kool-Aid cake (how Southern of them!) and ribs. Those brownies--with chocolate sauce on top--actually sound pretty good. In the meantime, though, we'll be hanging out waiting for the deep-fried zucchini "nachos".

In a statement issued earlier today, Royal Caribbean said that Mexican authorities have charged Nelson Perez Torres, a 24-year-old local bartender, with the murder of thirty-two-year-old Monika Markiewicz, a Polish national who was a musician aboard Allure of the Seas.
"Reports indicate that Torres and Ms. Markiewicz were casually acquainted for several months, and he followed her for a period of time before killing her along the roadway on her way back to the ship," said the line.
Markiewicz debarked Allure of the Seas in Cozumel on February 4 to head to the beach and never returned. Her body was recovered the next day. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was drowning -- but that Markiewicz also suffered blunt trauma to the head.
"We thank the Mexican authorities for their commitment to quickly solving the murder of our crew member, Monika Markiewicz," said RCI's president and CEO, Adam Goldstein, in the statement. "Her untimely death is tragic and has saddened all of us at Royal Caribbean. We have informed Monika's family in Poland of today's news update and we will continue to be in contact with them and to support them during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends."
Royal Caribbean has no intention at this point of canceling calls to Cozumel, and in a statement released earlier this week, the cruise line reaffirmed its commitment to the safety of its passengers and crew.
While Mexico's west coast ports of call have suffered from the perception (real or not) that passengers and crew were not safe in places like Mazatlan and Acapulco (lines, from Disney to Holland America, recently canceled calls to Mazatlan though have resumed visits there), Cozumel, part of the Western Caribbean region, has not been plagued with such problems. However, the Caribbean has certainly had some challenges with crimes and murders on islands; last year, a young Carnival cruise passenger was shot and killed on St. Thomas, when the safari bus she was riding to the beach was caught in the middle of a gang shootout. On Antigua, a Star Clippers passenger who'd gone to a remote beach alone, was murdered. And passengers on shore excursions in the Bahamas' Nassau and on the island of St. Kitts were held up at gunpoint.

Serves 8
The best thing about this yummy dish is that it comes together so fast. There's only one trick: be sure to add the cheese to the sauce at the last minute and then immediately remove the pan from the heat. If you continue to cook the sauce after adding the cheese, the fats will separate from the proteins and the cheese will become gritty.
1 pound penne pasta
4 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
1 quart milk
1 pinch nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
⅓ cup shredded Swiss cheese
¾ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
1 cup or so cooked cauliflower


text: Plaintiffs filed and won a UDRP complaint against the domain name "nbcuniversal.com." As part of its UDRP complaint, plaintiffs stipulated to Korean courts as the jurisdiction for the registrant to challenge the UDRP decision and stay the transfer of the domain name to plaintiffs. In January 2005, the registrant filed suit in Korea challenging the UDRP decision. A few months later, plaintiffs filed this in-rem action for cybersquatting and infringement. The domain name registrant moved to dismiss this action on two grounds. First, the registrant argued the court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction because by proceeding under the UDRP plaintiffs submitted to the jurisdiction of Korea where the domain name is registered. The court held, however, that plaintiffs did not waive their right to file this action, because arbitrating a UDRP dispute does not preclude filing a civil suit either before or after the UDRP proceeding. Moreover, the plaintiffs are not limited to bringing a lawsuit in the jurisdiction to which they submitted for purposes of the UDRP proceeding. Second, the registrant argued the court must abstain from exercising jurisdiction over the domain name because he filed suit in Korea challenging the UDRP decision before plaintiffs filed this action. The court noted that abstention is warranted only in extremely rare circumstances, such as when another court has already exercised jurisdiction over the res at issue in another case. In this case, however, the registrant filed an in-personam action in Korea, which did not exercise jurisdiction over the domain name. Nor did the registrant suggest in his motion that the Korean court has taken any action to assert jurisdiction over the domain name, i.e., a quasi in-rem action. Moreover, even if the registrant filed an in-rem or quasi-in-rem action, "neither the first-in-time rule nor deference rooted in principles of international comity" would require the court to abstain, because the Korean action had not "been initiated in any meaningful sense" as plaintiffs still had not been served, and this court had a "strong interest in protecting the important public policies effectuated by the federal trademark laws at issue in this action." Lastly, the court rejected the registrant's argument that the in-rem provision of the Lanham Act does not also cover infringement or dilution claims, noting the Fourth Circuit's decision in Harrods.

CHIPPENHAM Town recorded their first points on the road in a rousing match on the south coast.
With front men Alan Griffin and Dave Gilroy both injured, Chippenham chose to play a 4-5-1 formation, with Ashley Williams moving to centre back and the plan worked a treat.
However, initially, the large number of travelling fans must have thought they were suffering from déjà vu as for the second game running Chippenham were awarded an early penalty, only to concede an equaliSer inside ten minutes.
Before the second minute had elapsed Lee Phillips, who ran his heart out up front as the lone target man, was brought down in the box by Dan Woodward.
The referee pointed to the spot, but the kick was delayed a further two minutes as Phillips received treatment.
With Griffin, who succeeded with penalties against Cambridge City and Hitchin, not available it was left to Luke Ballinger to send impressive keeper Nathan Ashmore the wrong way to open the scoring.
Gosport replied on 10 minutes with a free kick from Justin Bennett that took a wicked deflection off the defensive wall, wrongfooting 17-year-old keeper Conor Thompson, who impressed on his debut.
The lively Steffan Gaisie proved a handful to the Bluebirds with his pace, but his shot from a quickly-taken free kick went wide while at the other end Ashmore did well to repel Ballinger's stinging shot.
Gaisie was again off target for Gosport before Chippenham were awarded their second spot kick on 34 minutes when Ashmore brought down Scott Lye.
The decision was initially dismissed by the referee, as Lye was running away from goal, but his assistant was adamant and perhaps explained how yet again the Gosport perpratator escaped with no card as Ballinger fired home the spot-kick.
Gosport hauled themselves back a second time just before the hour mark when Shaun Lamb lost possession to Woodward who raced into the area before firing a crisp shot across Thompson.
Gaisie then volleyed over with only the Chippenham keeper to beat.
On 65 minutes Dean Griffiths replaced Lye who was suffering from a dead leg and two minutes later the substitute thought he had opened his Bluebirds account when he headed home Steve Casey's free kick, only to see it harshly ruled out for offside.
Justice was done six minutes from time when Griffiths played a through ball to Phillips to the right of the area and he sent a delicious chip over the advancing Ashmore to net the winning goal and put smiles on the faces of the large Chippenham contingent.
Chippenham: Thompson, Harvey, Lamb, Williams, Osman (Kite 86), Casey, Ballinger, Rogers, Lye (Griffiths 65), Guthrie (Egan 76), Phillips.
Subs not used: Barnes, Randhawa
Referee: M. Derrien (Dorchester)

|Reviews for The Scene in the Sushi Bar
| scorch66 chapter 3 . 5/4/2008
This chapter makes me want to slap Yuki. I'm not sure if this is right, but is his 'master-plan' supposed to involve sleeping with Ayano and proving to Shu that he's no tied down to him? Ugh, what a jerk! Poor Shu! Though, I'm pretty sure he won't go through with it, I'm still mad that he thought of it. And after Mizuki's chastisement, all he cares about is his sushi bar scene? Yuki really needs to set his priorities straight. Oh, but I love your new characters; after reading the chapter, I really do wish that Ono Fujiko had gotten a hold of Yuki. ;)
| Xedra chapter 3 . 5/4/2008
Oh, I seriously love you for this chapter!
The characters of Shiho and Junichi are delightful. The bit with Yuki and Ayano on the cell makes me nervous, but eager to see what happens.
But Mizuki... oh, the way Mizuki tells Yuki off made me SO happy I will be smiling for days!
| orangepencils chapter 3 . 5/4/2008
onwards, to save the sushi bar! I'm curious to know what that scene is. And I look forward to the next chapter. Ugh, now I'm hooked to this. Damn you and your author skills :)
| none111 chapter 2 . 5/3/2008
YAY! I was so happy when I saw the update :) Great story!
| lilgurlanima chapter 2 . 5/3/2008
thanks for the chap... like it... and it did answer my question... hope you'll update soon!
| Hika chapter 2 . 5/2/2008
Why in the name of yaoi do you want to make a fic eith so many Mary Sue and OC
make Eiri with one (or much) of these?
thats pukeable
don{t you have stomach?
| scorch66 chapter 2 . 5/2/2008
And the title comes together. I was wondering what it meant. Gah!Yuki's confusing! He may tease Shu for looking girly all he wants but at least Shu is straightforward and doesn't circle around the same thought continuously. I think Yuki has commitment problems. And by the looks of it, his problems are about to increase, which makes me happy cuz, really, things are much too easy for him as of now. Oh, and glad I could make you laugh. :)
| Xedra chapter 2 . 5/2/2008
Loved it! I love how Mizuki manipulates him, and how Yuki keeps being his deilghtfully grumpy self!
| orangepencils chapter 2 . 5/2/2008
congrats, you've got me reading your story. I look forward to the next chapter. Man all that for a scene in a sushi bar... wow, he must really like it loll.
| DarkMetalAngel of Destruction chapter 1 . 4/28/2008
good chapter, but at this rate for this 1st chapter. nothing seems to be going well for yuki and shuichi.
| scorch66 chapter 1 . 4/27/2008
Aww, Yuki should have just kissed him. And his thoughts are really too cute. Shu & I are alike in that we're both 'crap at remembering author's names', lol, though I remeber yours.;) Oh, the next chapter sounds very interesting. Can't wait to discover Yuki's so-called 'master-plan' (I have an inkling that it wont work out, or rather, it's bound to fail)!
| lilgurlanima chapter 1 . 4/27/2008
why did yuki ask shuichi that question! it's not like his to ask such things right?
| none111 chapter 1 . 4/27/2008
brilliant, as expected. You definitely captured Eiri's stubborness perfectly. I really like this so far. can't wait to read more :)
| DarkInuyashaangel101 chapter 1 . 4/27/2008
Yay, I'm so happy! You wrote a new Gravi story! I've been waiting in agony for this ever since Jilted John ended. So, can't wait for the next chapter!
| Xedra chapter 1 . 4/27/2008
Hapy. So So happy to read another Gravitation fic by you!
This made me smile all through it. Yuki is so adorably grumpy!

After Game 4 of the Pacers-Sixers series in 2001 I gave Dikembe a high 5 as he headed into the tunnel after the game and I ended up being very sick for 2 weeks. Thanks a lot for that Dikembe you jerk
True story BTW.
You got the by-product of the Mutumbo Sex
Report: 82% Of Wiseguys Think They're Real Funny
One of my childhood idols growing up. An outstanding basketball player and an even better overall person. Sucks to see him go out with an injury like this, but he's had one great career.
I had the misfortune of watching that injury live the other night and I knew he wouldn't be back. It was surreal to see such a big guy writhing on the floor in excruciating pain. He knew it was bad right away and you could just imagine him seeing his basketball career flashing before his eyes.
He was a great player and I actually had the opportunity to see his first game against the Pacers as a rookie and he and Smits had a pretty good battle with Smits coming out on top offensively but I was really impressed with how good he was as a rookie.
He averaged 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, with nearly three blocks per game, and was named to the All-Star team as a rookie! He was a great player in his prime and one of the NBA's best defensive players of all-time.
Some Mutombo career highlights from Wikipedia:
The 7 ft 2 in (2.2 m) 260 lb (120 kg), Mutombo plays center, where he is regarded as one of the top post defenders of all time. His combination of height, power and long arms have led to a record tying four NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards, a feat equalled only by Ben Wallace. Staples of Mutombo's defensive prowess are his outstanding shot-blocking and rebounding power: for his career, he averages 2.9 blocks and 10.8 rebounds per game. He is second all-time in registered blocks, behind only Hakeem Olajuwon , and is the 21st most prolific rebounder ever.[8] He is also an eight-time All-Star and was elected into three All-NBA and six All-Defensive Teams.
Along with his defensive prowess Mutombo also could contribute offensively, averaging at least 10 points per game until he reached age 35.
In Game 1 of Houston's first round playoff series against Portland, Mutombo played for 18 minutes and had nine rebounds, two blocks, and a steal.
Career summary and highlights

* Invited to be a special guest at President George W. Bush's State of the Union address, commended for his humanitarian aid to his homeland.
* Oldest player in NBA history to collect over 20 rebounds in a game (March 2 2007 vs. Denver Nuggets)
Dikembe contributed millions to his home country. He paid for building a hospital. You just can't top things like that.
"He wanted to get to that money time. Time when the hardware was on the table. That's when Roger was going to show up. So all we needed to do was stay close"
Darnell Hillman (Speaking of former teammate Roger Brown)
Great guy whose legacy will continue through the good works he does back in his homeland.
I laughed everytime he was interviewed and I only understood half of what he said.
The NBA will miss a quality guy like Mutombo. A good player and a great guy who has done so much for his homeland.

Charlie Parr got his first guitar at the age of 7. It was a Gibson 12-string, but he played it so much it eventually broke in half.
Today, the 47-year-old Austin, Minn., native is an internationally known artist with a new album and upcoming tour.
Parr will perform at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 18 at the Richard G. Hardy Performing Arts Center at Cambridge-Isanti High School, 430 NW Eighth Ave., as part of his latest tour promoting his newest album "Hollandale." The instrumental record is Parr's 12th studio album, which draws from early 20th century folk music.
He says that each song is an improvisation, meaning that he tuned the guitar in a certain way and started to play.
"I let the song go where it wanted to go," Parr said. "I let go a lot of control that I usually have go into writing."
It's the first time Parr has recorded a fully instrumental record. The songs feature deep electric baritone guitar notes (played by Alan Sparhawk), twangy tackhead plucks and melodic 12-string riffs.
His two favorite pieces from the album are "Hollandale" and "Clear Lake" because they sound more like songs.
"I was the most focused," Parr said, comparing it to a movie plot that is clear the entire film. The album itself was a bit of a catharsis for Parr.
He got into writing music as more of a personal journey.
"It's like a diary, but then having someone say we're going to publish that," he said. His biggest fear is that people listening won't understand the moment and will not like the song.
"It's like giving someone a dollar," Parr said. "Once you give it to them, it's theirs. They take their own meaning from it. All you got to do is to give it."
The first few songs he wrote were about his father. And when his father died, he turned to song writing to make him feel better.
"Hollandale" continues that thread by letting listeners into a different realm of Parr's personal story. The latest album will be unique because each time he plays the song, it will sound different because of the improvisations.
Parr expects to play one or two tracks from his latest release, but tells fans he'll also perform some of his older pieces with vocals.
Tickets for the Jan. 18 performance are available online at hardycenter.com or by calling 763-689-6189. Tickets are $15 each, or $25 for two.

A YOUNG football fan will show his love for his club while supporting his local children's hospice by sitting in every seat at his team's home ground.
Nine-year-old Aidan Turner, from Prenton, and his dad Dave will attempt to sit in every one of the 17,000 seats at Prenton Park - the home of their beloved Tranmere Rovers - on April 17.
The father and son team will take on the challenge in aid of Claire House Children's Hospice, with all money raised supporting children and young people with life limiting medical conditions.
The pair's light bulb moment came when watching the Mighty Whites play against Oldham, when Aidan was curious to know how many seats were in the stand.
Dave, who has been supporting Tranmere for 32 years, said: "It was all Aidan's idea and when he said he wanted to do it for a local charity, we thought Claire House was the perfect choice.
"All the other season tickets supporters we sit near are getting involved in sponsoring us and we'll be taking our sponsorship forms on the coach to away matches as well."
Devonshire Park Primary School pupil Aidan said he is not too fazed by the challenge.
"Dad thinks it will take us nine hours, so we're going to pack some sandwiches," said the nine-year-old.
"We've been practising at home, sitting on the sofa and getting back up again. I'm not nervous – it'll be fun."
The pair will be supported on the day by Aidan's little brother, four-year-old Aaron, and mum Gill.
Debbie Smith, Wirral area fundraiser for Claire House, said; "Aidan's idea is a stroke of genius and a brilliant challenge for such a hard-core Tranmere fan.
"We're delighted he's chosen to support other children from the Wirral with his seat-sitting antics and can't wait to cheer Aidan and Dave on on the day."

In her hit VH1 reality series What Chilli Wants, Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas from the pop group TLC is in search of the man of her dreams. But she also wants something else: a few siblings for son Tron, 13, and she's not shy about telling her potential suitors on the show about her plans.
"I'm straight up and told all the guys this season I wanted kids," she laughs. "It probably made some of them nervous, but it shouldn't. I just need to know if we're on the same page or not because I want more kids."
But she adds that her romantic decisions are always made with Tron in mind. "I can't imagine bringing someone around my son who is not an extraordinary man," she said. "He already has an active father [ex-husband Dallas Austin], so whoever is going to be my husband has to be a good figure for my son and add to our family."

Microsoft announces plans for 2013 retail, will start the year with six new stores
0. phoneArena posted on 26 Dec 2012, 09:29
Apple's retail stores are the surprising success story in the last few years, and now everyone is trying to emulate Apple's success…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Yes! Good to see the temporary one become permanent in Saint Louis. Hope they get one at West County, South County, and Chesterfield, too, just to avoid the entire "oh you have to go to X factory store at a place that in inconveniently located or always busy"

Apple retail stores serve many purposes, it's where the reality distortion field meets customers' minds. We also have to give Apple's credit for good customer support through such stores. Apple may also collect customers requirements for future product design.
MS is in different position than Apple so MS retail stores may not sell only MS hardware but its partners' hardware also. It also remain to be seen how many store MS will have and where.
So it will depend how MS use the store and how effectively. But MS will fail if it simply copies Apple.
11. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
Have you seen a Microsoft Store? It looks just like an Apple Store. They even borrowed the positions of an Apple Store and just renamed them.
The problem is exactly what you said though...Microsoft has to support hardware of manufacturers that aren't their own. They have to face complaints on products that aren't their own. That's a hard thing to do in retail, especially when you have as many partners as Microsoft. Sure...they are starting to step into their own since creating the Surface...but you still have all those pesky PC and laptops out there. And although the easy thing would be to refer people to their manufacture, the reason Apple Retail has worked is quite often it is the first and last destination the customer needs to go. If Microsoft decides to stop using partners (or start making their own hardware next to their partners) then the Microsoft Store will work quite well. Otherwise you're going to get the experience like I did at AT&T and Sprint. People coming in with phones that don't work and workers having to refer them to the manufacture to get it fixed.
2. santy (Posts: 60; Member since: 02 Dec 2011)
More stores will only add to the cost of devices. It is better to go Google/ Amazon way .- Online only to keep prices low.
3. jmoney62987 (Posts: 31; Member since: 16 Mar 2010)
actually no it won't. If by having only an online presence (current) and only sell a million devices vs having both online and store presence and selling three million devices AS LONG as selling those devices through the stores make the stores profitable the devices should technically be cheaper. ALSO the more they sell technically alone should make the devices cheaper because they are recouping less investment off each purchase.
4. simplyj (Posts: 406; Member since: 23 Dec 2009)
I wonder if the Microsoft Store took over the space that the Sony Store left behind this summer in San Antonio?
7. lawbo (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
Microsoft is opening a new store in San Antonio directly across from the Apple store.
5. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
Wtf Microsoft, there is life outside the us u know. Take our money too :D
8. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
I need them to announce how they're gonna deal with Google's bulls**t! No YouTube app works on WP!!!!!
9. vvelez5 (Posts: 623; Member since: 29 Jan 2011)
I hope these stores have better associates. I love my Microsoft products but i can't shop at my nearby store because I've just had horrid times everytime i went to the Microsoft store. I'm sure the other stores are great i just think my store ended up with a bad batch of employees. Hopefully they fix that because im not visiting they're pretty stores until they do.
10. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i love the Microsoft Store in Orlando. there's Surfaces all over the place in there. xD

When a colon symbol (":") is typed inside a single-line comment ("//"), the string is indented back to string start. For example, type
(tab)(tab)(tab)sometext // TODO:
and it will unindent the string all three tabs. I think, it thinks this is a label.
IMHO, semocolons in comments should be ignored.

For this project Noro Taiyo Sock col. 22 and Debbie Bliss Party Angel in black was used. But any other color would really look nice, too.
Actually any thin mohair yarn would work. For example Rowan Kidsilk Haze.
Sideways knitted scarf or wrap in knit stitch only.

Every day many children in Kenya run miles to school--so does Ndito. From her village in the highlands she runs barefoot, across ridges and down hills, under baobab trees and through tall grass. As she runs she calls up animal dreams to keep her company--she imagines she's floating like a gazelle and soaring like a crane. Anderson's text and van der Merwe's paintings evoke the sights, sounds and the feeling of Africa. Full color.

A strong performance by A1 Team GBR driver Robbie Kerr saw the team net a superb second place in today's Sprint Race followed by frustration in the Feature Race when another potential podium was ended by a puncture which led to an unscheduled pit stop.
Today's results put A1 Team GBR third in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport as the teams head for round three in Malaysia.
Having qualified third for both races, Kerr's day started well with a strong drive in the Sprint Race, fending off a challenge from A1 Team Ireland at the opening corner to hold a solid second place to the flag. At the start of the Feature Race he held onto third place behind Netherlands and South Africa with a fast-starting China behind in fourth.
While the Dutch car moved ahead of the field, A1 Team GBR were trapped behind South Africa and became involved in an intense battle after the first round of official pit stops on lap nine.
On lap 11 the A1 Team GBR and South African cars made contact, dropping behind France as a result, but six laps later Robbie was forced to make a second, unscheduled stop, as a result of a right rear puncture caused by the incident.
This dropped Kerr down to 20th position and although he fought to recover he had to settle for 17th.
"The Sprint Race was a fantastic first race back in the car," said Kerr. "It was a shame we couldn't make it one place higher but the car wasn't quite under us to challenge New Zealand and we had a lot of over-steer.
"It was a great battle during the first lap of the Sprint between us, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa - we all went for it but respected each other and tried to make it as clean as possible. Unfortunately Ireland and GBR did touch but there was no blame and it was great racing and a good result."
"In the Feature we got a great start battling for the lead going into the first corner. Jeroen (A1 Team Netherlands) did exactly as I would and saw us on the outside and ran me out which was fair but it allowed Adrian (A1 Team RSA) to get back past going into turn two which was disappointing as I knew I was much quicker.
"From that point on he held me up. We had a slower first pit stop than normal and South Africa came out ahead, but I battled hard and immediately got up behind him. We had a good battle but when I eventually overtook him down the straight, giving him plenty of room, he unfortunately got it wrong on the inside and drove into the back of my car knocking off the valve cap, therefore puncturing my tyre with his front wing. We couldn't wait until the next pit stop window to change the tyres so had to come in for another stop. It's disappointing as we were heading for a possible podium and could have left Brno as Championship leaders."

Waitangi Day and beyond
The weather on Waitangi Day should turn out pretty good for many parts of the country as a large area of high pressure confines the approaching rain-makers to the far north and east of the country.
MetService and Media and Communications Meteorologist Daniel Corbett commented, "Waitangi Day should be a great day for outdoor plans over many parts of the country except the far north and east, where there could be a wee bit of wet weather."
There could well be a few showers during the day in Waitangi and Northland for events taking place there.
The large high that has kept the rain-makers at bay will gradually build across the South Island in the coming days. However, by Friday a moist easterly flow, associated with a subtropical weather system, is likely to sink down from the far north across central parts of the North Island to bring spells of rain or showers.
This brief wet spell should gradually shift to the east coast of the North Island by Saturday, before clearing away as the high gains a grip on the rest of the country for early next week.

Avg. List Ticket Price: $420.93
Date: Nov. 5
With both teams starting the season ranked in the Top 5, this could be an epic SEC battle in the first week of November. Despite a stadium capacity in Tuscaloosa that tops 100,000, the Crimson Tide fans are rabid and those who will travel from Louisiana for LSU aren't shabby either. The Tigers fan base has been willing to pay plenty for a ticket in recent years thanks to two BCS National Championship titles (2003 & 2007)
