The Cape or Baja Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer vertebralis) is a species of non-venomous, colubrid snake most commonly found in a small area of western Mexico. They have become an increasingly popular companion for people interested in the exotic pet trade due to their extreme color variations and relatively docile behavior.
Description Edit
The Cape Gopher is named after the location of its natural habitat, the Baja California Peninsula. Here, the snake can only be found at high elevations on the southern tip of the peninsula, where temperatures usually remain a mild 78°F (25.5°C). Hobbyists who own a Cape Gopher commonly assume that the snake's natural habitat is significantly warmer, then proceed to create a dangerously hot environment. This lack of understanding is presumably due to the snake's rarity.
A single Cape Gopher can exhibit wild color and pattern variations along the length of its body. Most begin with bright H-shaped marks in differing orange shades against an intense yellow background. As you trace the patterns down toward the tip of the tail, they begin to change in shape and darken until they are completely black while the yellow background loses its intensity. Other Cape Gophers' patterns begin as black stripes before evenly transforming into the familiar marks of the vertibralis family. When coiled up and alone, many people mistake the differing colors and patterns for a multiple number of snakes.
The average length of an adult Cape Gopher ranges from 36 - 66 in (91.5 - 168 cm). Hatchlings are born at a respectable 12 - 18 in (30.5 - 48 cm) in length. When threatened, the snake flattens its head while simultaneously vibrating its tail and hissing to closely imitate a rattlesnake.
Habitat Edit
Most information gathered about the location of Cape Gophers is anecdotal, but the area in which they range is incredibly diverse. Dominating the landscape is a Sonoran-like desert fraught with cacti, but you can also find dry tropical forests, arid tropical scrubs, desert shores and the Sierra de la Laguna (an area designated by UNESCO as a global biosphere reserve because the "semi arid to temperate subhumid climate area represents highly important and contrasted ecosystems." This area is known to go months, even years, without rainfall, yet can be saturated with the flood waters of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane in a span of just one week.
Behavior Edit
Young Cape Gophers are aggressive and very easily agitated. Their temperament changes from each individual snake, but it is not uncommon for a young one to strike frequently at anything that moves. This aggressive behavior doesn't last long. Once they pass this phase, they are notably more docile and rarely (if ever) strike at anything (food is an exception). Still, the Cape Gopher has a reputation for being nervous when handled. They remain still, but inevitably become active again and squirm before suddenly calming and starting the cycle over.
Prey Edit
The Cape Gopher's prey is thought to include many small rodents, birds and eggs, though there really is no certainty due to a lack of research of these snakes in the wild. In captivity, small rodents and eggs suffice.

Sarah Jessica Parker and her 7-year-old son James were spotted leaving their home in New York City on Wednesday morning (September 29).
Parker, who usually walks James to school, opted to take their silver Toyota Prius instead today.
The 45-year-old actress was last seen yesterday taking 15-month-old twins Loretta and Tabitha to a doctor's appointment.
Parker has admitted it's been a challenge having a busy career while juggling family life.
"It's the eternal conflict of every working woman. And I'm not complaining because I've done this to myself. The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people."View Slideshow »»

Macquarie University fired the first shots in a price war for student enrolments yesterday, announcing it would offer some science and technology subjects free and cut the cost of related honours courses by a third.
The move, which an education expert predicted would be copied, was dismissed by Labor and the National Union of Students.
Macquarie University's Vice-Chancellor, Di Yerbury, said yesterday that the institution was targeting the cream of science undergraduates by offering advanced biology, chemistry and mathematics free to students with an Universities Admission Index of at least 95.
The subjects would otherwise cost more than $600 each in 2005. Professor Yerbury said students would save about 12.5 per cent of their total HECS bill.
She also said the HECS charged for an honours year in science and technology would be cut by 30 per cent - a saving of more than $1600 - by charging students the lower band 1 HECS rate, which is normally levied on humanities and social-service courses. The changes affect about 150 students.
"I'm sure this will start other universities thinking," said Professor Yerbury, who is also president of the Australian Vice-Chancellors Committee.
Under the Federal Government's higher education changes that were passed by the Senate last month, universities have the power to drop HECS charges to zero from 2005, or raise them by a maximum of 25 per cent - except for the protected courses of nursing and education.
While much has been made of likely increases, science students in particular stood to benefit from a carefully targeted price war, said one higher education analyst.
A research fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies, Andrew Norton, said Macquarie was "pretty clever" in targeting science because the money universities received from HECS fees for science was small compared with their government subsidies.
While universities will receive only about $1500 per law student next year, "science gets the maximum Commonwealth contribution - $12,300 for a science student", Mr Norton said.
While this gives universities leeway to cut science fees, students enrolled in less-subsidised courses should brace themselves. "Law is an absolute certainty to go up," said Mr Norton, who predicted that even different bachelor of arts subjects - all currently incurring a HECS fee of $3768 a year - may become divided by price.
Mr Norton said fees for language courses were likely to drop under the new competitive environment because the 2005 subsidies for language courses would be more than $9000, while humanities subjects including history would receive only $4180.
"I'm quite prepared to believe that teaching foreign languages is more labour intensive than teaching history, but not twice as expensive," Mr Norton said.
The Opposition spokeswoman on education, Jenny Macklin, described Macquarie's scheme as a "drop in the ocean".
A Labor government would not allow universities to compete on price, but instead would move all science subjects into the lower band 1 HECS rates, she said.

Lenny Hayes says St Kilda's AFL form is irrelevant to a decision on whether he plays on for another year.
The Saints have bottomed out in recent weeks, with Sunday's 96-point loss to Geelong taking them to the foot of the ladder.
But rather than persuade Hayes to move on, he says he looks at the team's list and sees a reason to stick around.
"I still see my role being pretty important and vital to the team... in terms of leadership on-field," he said.
"I think we had ten guys who played under 20 games on the weekend.
"There needs to be a little bit of stability and experience out there with them and that's where I see my role."
Hayes said a decision on signing on for a 17th season would come in "the next three or four weeks".
"You have a few discussions with the people that are important to you... the football club are a big part of that as well," he said.
"It's always a decision that you make... with where the club's at, where's the teams at, also where my body's at."
If Hayes chooses to play on, he will join the AFL's much vaunted 300-game club.
Just four St Kilda players have done so; Robert Harvey, Nathan Burke, Stewart Loewe - three of Harvey's former team-mates - and Barry Breen.
The 34-year-old said while the past few weeks had been "really tough", he looked at other struggling clubs - Melbourne, GWS and Western Bulldogs - all record wins and believe the Saints could turn it around.
"You do endure tough periods like this but in some ways it can be the making of players and the team," he said.

CULCHETH High School's sixth form closure took a step closer after councillors voted to remove classes.
The school's governors had already voted in favour of closing the sixth form and had asked Warrington Borough Council to consider the change in provision.
And on Monday night the council's executive board voted unanimously to follow through with the closure.
Clr Colin Froggatt, executive board member for children and young people's services, told the meeting: "Culcheth is a very good school and we are proud of Culcheth High School and its position in Warrington.
"It's the best performing school for GCSEs in the last year.
"The govenors have considered it quite thoroughly and gone to consultation.
"There's lots of concern shown regarding the closure of the sixth form in the area but there hasn't been the support to retain it.
"We have had 25 responses, one of which supported the closure.
"If you look at the numbers from 2014 it is 27 students. That's not enough to sustain a fully functioning sixth form.
"It's with great reluctance they are making this recommendation."
But campaigners against the closure, including Clr Chris Vobe and Clr Matt Smith, say they will continue to fight the plans.
In a joint statement the councillors said: "It is important to understand that this does not represent the final decision – it is the beginning of a representation period, during which everyone is encouraged to submit their views over the prospect of our sixth form closing."
They also pledged to support those opposing the plans and scrutinise the governing body and school to see why intake has fallen.
Clr Froggatt added schools had been able to run sixth form classes previously due to extra funding for post 16 education compared to colleges but that funding had been cut back.
With the fall in student numbers the school said the increased funding to meet the needs of the smaller class sizes could have an impact on the funding of education of 11 to 16 year olds.
"There is a lot of competition for post 16 education," Clr Froggatt said.
"Students like to spread their wings a little further and seem a bit more mature. It's credit to the school that students are maturing at that rate."
Opposers of the move say they will launch a Save Our Sixth Form campaign to fight the closure which will be led by Warrington North MP Helen Jones.

On March 26, Zoho announced its online accounting software, Zoho Books, now supports automatic bank feeds. The new feature automatically retrieves transactions from users' bank and credit card accounts and imports them into Zoho Books effortlessly, thereby reducing data entry considerably.
"Our goal with Zoho Books is to make it the must-have accounting software for every small to medium-sized business (SMB)," said Raju Vegesna, Zoho evangelist. "That means making Zoho Books powerful yet easy to use, so they can effectively track their business financials without wasting time and effort. The new automatic bank feeds feature reinforces that efficiency and effectiveness by reducing the burden placed on the user."
Zoho Books simplifies accounting for small and medium-sized businesses. It is a powerful tool for managing their money and provides complete visibility of their finances. Among its many features, Zoho Books lets users record, monitor, and reconcile their bank and credit card account transactions.
Previously, users had to manually enter the account and transaction information in Zoho Books. To improve the speed and accuracy of this process, Zoho integrated with Yodlee, a digital financial management provider, to establish the automatic bank feeds in Zoho Books. Now, Zoho Books automatically downloads bank and credit card transactions, and users simply match the downloaded transactions and accept or reject them for inclusion in their reports.
Highlights of the new automatic bank feeds feature include:
- Bank rules – To reduce further manual intervention, users can set up bank rules to automatically process data based on specific criteria.
- Data security – Zoho Books uses 256-bit SSL encryption to secure communications between users' computers and the Zoho server.
- Broad industry support – Zoho Books supports automatic bank feeds from several thousand banks and credit card companies.
Zoho Books is now available. Users can sign up for a free thirty-day trial and evaluate the software for their accounting needs. The monthly subscription charge for two users is $24, and yearly subscribers get a two-month discount. Additional users can be invited in Zoho Books for $5 per user, per month.

'Gossip Girl' Actors Actually Eat
You mean there's not some specially hired chef to prepare meals based on an actor's day to day whims on the NYC set of Gossip Girl?
Photographers caught actors Penn Badgely, Ed Westwick, and Blake Lively (who looks like she might have added a little something to that Coke) engaging in something that ordinary humans do everyday – eating!
Penn's got takeout from a Chinese place, his gal pal Blake's got something food-like wrapped up in her hand, and Ed Westwick is toting around coffee and what looks like – horrors – a Danish. Do the producers know?
What if he gains weight and those silly ascots he has to wear as "Chuck Bass" all the time start choking the life out of him?

Glock vs XD
I am trying to decide on a glock or an XD. Which has a better service record and reliability ?
I have both, both shoot straight, both are easy to clean and maintain.
Fondle each liberally, shoot various models of each, decide which you like.
Some folks like the additional grip safety of the XD.
Either will be good choice.
Are you deliberately whacking the hornets nest?
Aw Heck, the last Glock thread went so well, let's get another one going ;)
Both are excellent. It will very likely come down to personal preference.
Thank you. I have an XD And i love it. I have shot the glock. Most of the guys I hang with have a glock. Just trying to decide weather I should follow the mold or stick with what I already know.
If not, why take a loss on one used pistol to buy another that is so similar?
The XD fits my hand better than the Gen 3 Glock and to me fit means a lot. I have not had a chance to handle a Gen 4 with the smaller grip. Go with what feels best to you in the hand. A natural fit and point will let you shoot quicker and more accurately.

A monthly column about the State of U.S. Soccer that takes a hard look at everything from the performance of the U.S. National Teams to pro soccer in the good 'ole U-S-of-A . If you're looking for a viewpoint that you won't see in a generic, nuts-and-bolts U.S. Soccer press release, you've come to the right place.
With the U.S. Men's National Team set to face Mexico in two weeks for the first soccer match at Houston's Reliant Stadium and the first match between the two sides since the USA's 2-0 win in Korea, the Armchair Midfielder can't help but look back and smile in remembering that oh-so-wonderful day.
It was 10 months ago, but it seems like just yesterday. The U.S. Men's National Team had somehow found its way out of a difficult opening round at the 2002 World Cup. Their Round of 16 opponent? Only the team's most revered rival, its arch nemesis, its not-so-friendly neighbor. The match-up on June 17, 2002 in Jeonju, Korea would be the most important match in the 70 years of competition between the next-door nations.
While both teams seemed pleased about their second round opponent in public and in the press due to familiarity alone, questions were abound about how the next meeting in a long, long history of border battles would shake out. Mexican players were wondering if they could break their recent stretch of bad luck in the series (read: four losses in the last five meetings) and return to the days when they dominated the U.S. On the other hand, U.S. players wondered if they could defeat Mexico when it counts, rather than just the recent string of friendlies and World Cup qualifiers.
Finally, the big day came...

What's it going to be? Door number one, door number two, or door number THREE?!? Okay, so this new section has less to do with "Let's Make A Deal" and more to do with the Multiple Choice section of an SAT test. Normally, "In Threes" peeks inside the personality of a select National Team player as they pick one of three choices for 25 questions about personal tastes and pop culture.
This month, we give the rapid fire treatment to U.S. Women's National Team goalkeeper Siri Mullinix, who recently entered the 2003 WUSA season with two major goals in mind: 1) helping the Freedom get back to the Founders Cup final and more importantly and 2) proving by her play with the Freedom that she belongs between the nets for the USA when the Women's World Cup rolls around this fall. After a disappointing silver medal finish as the starter at the 2000 Olympics and a sub-par inaugural WUSA season, the Greensboro, N.C., native bounced back big in 2002 and helped the Freedom go from next-to-worst to next-to-first. With a solid Siri in the nets, the Freedom are back on the path to the WUSA final in 2003, having already posted a 3-0 record out of the gate.

3) "MUSIC BY MASTROENI" (w/ MNT midfielder Pablo Mastroeni)
So you're a U.S. National Team player and you're stuck on a long international flight? What are your options? Sure, sleep is good. And cards are always fun, but you can only play "Hearts" so many times before you revert back to sleeping. DVD players? A luxury, but too high maintenance. For 26-year-old midfielder Pablo Mastroeni, the inner peace on the road comes from jotting down lyrics to original songs.
Perhaps no U.S. Men's National Team player is as musically-inclined as the dread-locked, Argentine-born midfielder, who brings his geetar (sic) on just about every National Team trip, including the World Cup last summer. Although he's a long way from matching the likes of Bob Dylan, he can out-strum veteran defender and fellow acoustic ace Jeff Agoos any day. Below are lyrics of one of the many songs he's written in his spare time.

Tiffeny Milbrett: "I still have it. It's awesome. I love it. It's in New York, and love driving it around there because I'm bigger than everyone else and it makes me feel safe."
CC: Say you have another outstanding year for the U.S. Women's National Team and the Power in 2003--is there even enough room in the Milbrett garage for another Chevy ride or would that go to a friend or relative?
TM: "I'd have to give it to Mom, no question."

5) "MARK THAT CALENDAR" (MNT vs. Mexico – Thu., May 8 – 7 p.m. CT – ESPN2 & Telemundo)
A stern reminder about an upcoming U.S. Soccer-related event, whether you plan to check it out live and in person, on the "telly" or that wacky world wide web.
And so the day comes. "Ravancha en la Cancha." May 8, 2003. Reliant Stadium. Houston, Texas. Reduced to tears by their 2-0 shutout loss to the Americans last summer in that there tournament over in Korea and Japan, an entire country is waiting for their beloved Tri-colores to exact sweet revenge on who they feel is a lesser soccer nation.
The thing is, that match was not so much a one-time surprise result than it was an accurate embodiment of the history between the two teams across the last four years. While the U.S. holds a meager 10-28-9 all-time record against Mexico, half of those wins have come in the last three years, coinciding conspicuously with the tenure of Mr. Arena. In fact, those five wins have come in the last six matches, all by shutout, with an average score of 2-0. Sound familiar?
Whether Mexican fans will admit it or not, the fact remains that in this day and age of our storied history, we've got their number. Perhaps it was that psychological edge that gave the U.S. confidence and propelled them to the last win in the series over in Jeonju, Korea.
But our recent run of favorable results might not be enough to squeeze out a win this time around. Consider that this next match, while played at "home," could have us playing in front of a large pro-Mexican crowd in a venue that could very well become the north-of-the-border Azteca.
That, and the fact that Mexican league players are in top form compared to an all-MLS U.S. squad that is not even a month into its season, could mean trouble (see recent CONCACAF Champions Cup results for evidence of this unavoidable disparity). And then there's that revenge thing.
But hey, let's not make excuses before the match is even played. It's all talk until the teams step out on the field for what will surely be a rough-and-tumble affair filled with hard tackles, huge momentum shifts and an enormous, energetic crowd.
For easily the most anticipated U.S. Men's National Team match of the year, and possibly one of the most anticipated international matches in the world this year, fans will have a chance to choose their language for the live broadcast on Thursday, May 8 at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT.

6) SUPERSTAR!!! (w/ U-23 MNT forward Edson Buddle)
A monthly feature about a U.S. Men's, Women's or Youth National Team player who demands that bright, shining spotlight.
Buddle in Full Bloom
As a soccer player, being named after the sport's most legendary figure could be seen as a bit of a burden or perhaps unnecessary pressure. But for Edson Buddle, who was named after three-time World Cup champion Pele (full name: Edson Arantes do Nascimento), it was simply an honor bestowed upon him from his father, Winston, who played professionally in Belgium, Cyprus and Greece and the U.S.
"I never really questioned him about it, ya know? I just kinda put two and two together," said Buddle, who couldn't help but notice all of his dad's Pele videos around the house as a child and slowly started to figure it out. "I'm proud to be named after the great one, the king of soccer."
In actuality, even the most educated soccer fans don't make the first-name connection, which is fine with him. It's saved him years of unfair comparisons and unoriginal nicknames. It helps that Buddle doesn't resemble Pele physically, and the 22-year-old plays a much different style, preferring to dominate in the air rather than carving through the midfield on the dribble.
"Pele's 5'7" and Brazilian. I'm 6'2" and American, so we're pretty different," said Buddle, using the tale of the tape to distance himself from his namesake. "I only get asked about the name from reporters or hard-core fans. The average person knows Pele as Pele, not as Edson."
While he may not yet evoke thoughts of the Brazilian legend, the forward from Port Chester, N.Y., has come a long way in the last four years.

7) "POINT/COUNTERPOINT" (Who Will Be the 2003 WUSA MVP?)
In this playful piece, we pose a question or make a statement about something in soccer that will be opined about, agreed and disagreed on, by YOU, the reader. No more talking heads giving safe, politically correct answers. Those days are over. Instead, we've opened the floor to everyone out there in Cyberland to throw in their two cents.
For the April issue, we asked you: Who will be the 2003 WUSA MVP (and why)?
Unlike those who blindly weighed in on March's question with their 2003 MLS MVP predictions, this month everyone had the luxury of using the first two weeks of the WUSA season as a sneak peek before making their choice. But with all the U.S. Women's National Team players out there, and a glut of foreign stars returning after impressive 2002 campaigns, the majority of choices narrowed down to just three players: Mia, Mac and Maribel:

8) "YOU DON'T KNOW JACK (MARSHALL)" (USA-Mexico Trivia)
Think you know your soccer trivia? We'll be the judge of that. Pop quiz: who the heck is Jack Marshall? Even the trivia buffs in the U.S. Soccer Communications Department would be hard-pressed to tell you that one Jack Marshall received his one and only cap way back in 1926. Okay, that was pretty much impossible. They get easier.

Q1 (1 of 4): Which team has won five of the last six meetings?
Q2 (2 of 4): Who became just the third player since 1990 to score in his first full U.S. Men's National Team appearance when he scored in a 2-0 victory over Mexico in Los Angeles on October 25, 2000?

Jennifer Aniston is about to become a single mom as she's planning to adopt two babies.
Jennifer Aniston has had enough from her two failed-relationships with Brad Pitt and Vince Vaughn that she no longer wants to wait for Mr. Right. The actress thinks she's run out of time and considering the time has come for her to have baby or babies.
Instead of wasting her time looking for the perfect guy, Jenn has spent the past several weeks consulting adoption experts and is on the lookout for a newborn American baby girl. Decided not to follow the current celebrity trend of adopting a child from abroad, the beauty would like to adopt orphans right in Los Angeles.
"She longs for a baby girl," a source close to Jenn said. "But she's not intending to stop at one! Jen has decided on two of similar ages, and if the opportunity to take a boy comes first she'll wait for the girl."

Converge vs. The Dillinger Escape Plan – Metal Madness 2014, Round 1
Though rooted in hardcore, these underground juggernauts are two of the most experimental and unrelenting metal bands of this century. Both acts are true originals, and they go head-to-head in this matchup to try and find the best metal album of the 21st century in this March Metal Madness tournament.
Converge's 'Jane Doe' has made, if not topped, many 'Best of the 2000s' metal lists, and for good reason. If you've ever seen Converge live, you know that the band's fan base is perhaps the craziest group ever to invade a mosh pit. When listening to 'Jane Doe,' it isn't difficult to hear why. The utter insanity contained within 'Jane Doe' feels all over the place and precisely controlled at the same time as 'Concubine' and 'Fault and Fracture' set the mood for a 12-track onslaught.
The Dillinger Escape Plan is possibly the most unhinged band on the planet. The band's ultra-technical and death defying mathcore hit a peak with 'Ire Works' in 2007, although Dillinger have released lots of solid material since the 1999 game-changer 'Calculating Infinity.' The addition of vocalist Greg Puciato to the group is key to the character of 'Ire Works, although fans were treated to a Dimitri Minakakis appearance on the track 'Milk Lizard.'
Converge's 'Jane Doe' or The Dillinger Escape Plan's 'Ire Works'? Vote for your favorite 21st century album in the poll below!
(This poll will end on Sunday, March 9 at 11:59 PM ET. Fans are able to vote once per hour, so keep coming back to make sure your favorite album wins!)

It can even withstand food processing so you'll soon see probiotics added to all kinds of crap. So, I was looking for something for my dog. I believe he has a systemic yeast problem. He's had a yeast infection in his ears since I got him and for which the Antibacterial stuff the vet gave me never helped. And after the first summer I had him, he began developing hot spots which involves a yeast infection growing in spots the dog irritates by scratching and biting. Because he's extremely sensitive to fleas. You can see the linoleic acid thread on how I've been trying to reduce his sensitivity topically, and he was way better while it was winter. Now it's summer again in this brutal climate that spawns so many fleas. I came across this product of digestive enzymes and pre and probiotics on Amazon. One reviewer pretty much described my dogs problems while raving about how quickly it turned around her dog. It is mostly enzymes, but it specifically names the probiotic strain Bacillus coagulans. WebMD says: People take Bacillus coagulans for diarrhea, including infectious types such as rotaviral diarrhea in children; traveler's diarrhea; and diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Bacillus coagulans is also used for general digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), a bowel disorder called Clostridium difficilecolitis, excessive growth of "bad" bacteria in short bowel syndrome, and infection due to the ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi & thanks for using our service. I'll do my best to give you a complete & accurate answer. Please ask me to clarify anything you don't understand.
No. If you are a resident of West Virginia and are working in Maryland, your employer is required to withhold Maryland income taxes on your earnings in Maryland. At the end of the year you will have to file a non-resident income tax return with Maryland & settle up with Maryland based upon what your tax works out to be less your Maryland withholding. You may be overpaid & entitled to a refund.
Then, when you complete your regular resident West Virginia return, your "Maryland income" will also be reported on that return; HOWEVER, you will receive a credit on your West Virgina return for any taxes paid to Maryland, up to the amount of West Virgina tax computed on that Maryland income. So there is no double taxation of your "Maryland income".
The state where you earn the income has the first claim to tax those earnings; since you always must report all of your income to your resident state, you receive a credit (on your resident state income tax return) for any taxes paid to another state.
Please remember to ACCEPT; it is the only way we get credit for our work. Feedback, if you have time, and bonuses where you think they are warranted, are always most appreciated. I'll be happy to answer any follow-up questions you may have.

It can be tricky but there will always be a time when you need to reverse your caravan. By following a few simple steps you can do it safely and accurately.
For those not used to reversing a caravan it is important to note that initially your caravan may provide some resistance and then start backing up with a bit of a jolt. This is a safety mechanism designed to stop the caravan rolling backwards, once its auto-brakes have realised you are reversing it will spring into action.
Reversing in a straight line
When reversing in a straight line, make sure your outfit is positioned completely straight and that your steering wheel is also in a straight position. You can then proceed to reverse, checking your mirrors at all times. If the van appears larger in one mirror you can correct this by turning the wheel slightly towards that mirror. If you're new to it, don't be afraid to straighten up and start again.
Reversing around a corner
Reversing a caravan around a corner can be difficult but the key is to position your outfit correctly to begin with. A top tip is to approach the corner from the driver's side, which improves your visibility of the corner and your outfit. This should enable you to see obstacles and the manoeuvre clearly.
You should note that it is often more difficult to reverse smaller vans. With the close proximity of the axle and the towball, the wheels react quicker to steering making it harder to reverse accurately.
Twin axle caravans are easier to reverse than single axle vans as the extra set of tyres makes them move slower allowing more time for corrections. Single axle outfits can turn tightly but require quick corrections.
It may be an idea to get someone to guide you around the corner. They should stand at a safe distance but with a clear view of the corner. You should ensure you have a confirmed set of instructions or signals so there's no confusion.
We tend to use "left/right hand down", but check that you both understand the concept before you start.
An example
If you are trying to reverse onto your pitch, you would start by driving past it, stopping with the back of your caravan just at the entrance to the pitch.
Looking over your shoulder in the direction you want to go, turn the wheel in the opposite direction, as you start reversing slowly.
Once the caravan is turning at the correct angle, steer towards the caravan to match the radius of the turn. Decreasing the steering lock will tighten the turn, while increasing steering lock will tend to straighten the outfit.
The caravan may move quickly so stay alert to prevent it from jack-knifing. If it doesn't go how you planned, just start over. Remember always to move the outfit slowly, but be prepared to change the steering wheel position quickly.
When reversing it's important to remember that small movements are the key. You don't need to turn your steering wheel much to make your outfit go where you want it to. Similarly, moving slowly allows you more time to make adjustments.
If you're struggling to get your caravan straight on a pitch you could always detach it and finish moving it by hand, or using a motor mover.
Remember not to let your towcar and caravan touch as this could cause costly damage.
Reversing a caravan is something that will become natural with practice. Take it steady and follow the tips above and you'll be comfortable doing it in no time.

wind down your windows, and if you are getting it dangerously wrong you will hear the warning shout(s)!
all good advice for us new vanners
I always place my hand on the lower part of the steering wheel when reversing. This means if I move my hand left the caravan goes left. Move hand right and van goes right. Back to centre the van goes straight.
If you avoid taking your hand off the wheel it prevents over cooking it.
Until you can see the same amount of caravan in each of the side mirrors then the caravan is still turning !
This is great advice here. But my top tip is that whilst you are reversing where you look is also quite important. You need to be aware of the angle between the car and caravan, also surrounding obstructions. For the most part of the reverse look at the point at which you the van to end up at. EG, a lot of club sites have a pitch number peg which they say should be lined up with the drivers side of the outfit. It is a little strange at first but once you get used to it you will be surprised how the outfit ends up at the intended point. It's a bit like when on the open road you look towards the vanishing point of the bend but are also being aware of your peripheral vision. Any experienced motorcyclist will tell you if you are trying to avoid an obstacle not to look at it as that is where you will end up. Look to where you want to go.

St. Andrews By The Sea
Summer Working Holiday
My first impression of this town right by the ocean was that it was the quaintest place I'd ever seen. It is a mere hour from the Maine border and was right on the Passamaquaddy Bay on the Bay of Fundy, the fastest tide change in the world. Rolling green hills and fog that would sneak in made this place feel like I was in Anne of Green Gables. My favorite restaurant was in fact, the Gables which had a large patio overlooking the water. There was a bakery that sold out of their legendary cinnamon rolls by 11 am and an ice cream parlor. It's the kind of place where you would see an apple pie cooling on a veranda at someone's house. Everyone was so friendly here and always had time for a nice chat. I worked at the large hotel there called the Fairmont Algonquin, it employs 300 people in the summer which boosts the township to about 1000 people give or take. There was one bar there called the Tidle Pool which was fun because we were so close knit there, everyone was a friend. Yes, the music was terrible but the beer was cheap and the scandals like no other. There was a lot of mystic around the town being haunted, it had one of those really cool graveyards where all the gravestones were upright and really creepy old. I loved spending time down at the water, lying on a green hill catching rays. The surrounding beach and rocks were a deep red color and there were lovely islands off in the distance. It was in the feeling of this place that made it spectacular and my summer here was one of the best. I made the greatest friends and have the funniest memories. If you can make it to the Maritimes in your lifetime, do it. Even if it's just for the lobster.

JESSE Ryder helped himself to a belligerent century while Ravi Bopara finished unbeaten on 98 as Essex completely dominated the second day of their County Championship Division Two clash with Gloucestershire at Chelmsford.
Ryder struck a magnificent 133, his first for the county, as he returned to form after his previous six championship games had brought him just 152 runs with a top score of 45. Essex were 425 for three at the close – a lead of 201 runs.
His no-nonsense approach saw him collect 15 fours in addition to four sixes, two of them tremendous straight drives at the expense of left-arm spinner Tom Smith.
All his runs arrived during a third-wicket stand of 197 in 55 overs with Bopara. Ryder thrived on a pitch which had lost some of its life compared with the opening day.
He moved to his half-century from 90 deliveries and needed just 60 more before reaching three figures.
That milestone completed, Ryder opened his shoulders to collect further sixes off both Matt Taylor and Will Gidman while adding another 33 from 14 balls. The New Zealander was finally undone when he was caught behind by Adam Rouse off Matt Taylor attempting to steer a short delivery in the direction of third man.
Bopara was subdued by comparison. He spent 37 balls over his first five runs before finding his touch to reach his half-century from 136 deliveries, it containing just three boundaries.
By the close, he was in sight of his second century of the season in an innings that has so far consumed 244 balls and brought him nine boundaries.
Both batsmen were helped by bowling that left much to be desired. Admittedly conditions did not help their cause but they could not be blamed for a distinct lack of control.
Only paceman David Payne, who occasionally got the ball to lift disconcertingly, maintained a line and length that was remotely threatening.
But the rest of his colleagues were guilty of bowling too short or wide, allowing Essex to take a firm grip on the match.
Bopara and Ryder had joined forces after Tom Westley and Nick Browne had departed in successive overs after putting together a stand of 139, easily the best opening partnership that Essex have enjoyed this summer.
After Essex had resumed on 75, Westley completed his half-century from the first ball of the day with his 11th boundary and added another two before falling to Hamish Marshall for 71 from 104 balls.
Left-hander Browne followed in the next over for 65 when facing Payne, both batsmen paying the penalty for chasing deliveries wide of off stump to be caught by Rouse.
Following Ryder's departure, James Foster promoted himself up the order and helped ensure that Essex secured maximum batting points. Essex's captain will resume tomorrow on 51 as he and Bopara seek to build upon a stand that has so far produced 89 in 21 overs.
In completing his fifth championship half-century of the summer, Foster has so far gathered seven fours in a match that has seen him take six catches in Gloucestershire's first innings.
Reflecting on his first hundred for Essex, Ryder said: "It's been a bit of a frustrating time for me but it was nice to get back to playing four-day cricket.
"To be able to stand still and see and hit the ball well. It's paid off for me today."
Gloucestershire wicket-keeper Rouse said: "It was a long day but to watch Ravi Bopara and Jesse Ryder was a great experience.
"They played their game and when they are doing that, you have to make sure you keep doing the right things."

Nokia tablet to join Nokia Lumia EOS with July launch via AT&T
0. phoneArena posted on 01 Jun 2013, 05:55
Two of the most rumored products that Nokia fans have been hoping for, the Nokia Lumia EOS and a Nokia tablet, are both going to hit the market in July according to a source with knowledge of Nokia's intentions; the Nokia Lumia EOS is an oft-rumored Windows Phone version of the Symbian flavored Nokia 808 PureView, right down to the 41MP sensor on the rear camera...

Oooo, well done Nokia, Nokia are finally starting to realise if they wish to survive they need to adapt to modern needs eg. A tablet!

When the rumors of Nokia tablet first leaked out with the picture of the device above, i thought it was too good to be true.
Now that they say it's legit, i'm just speechless! Looks awesome.
July...it'll be a month to fly(if the news is true).
12. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
I know right!' I completely agree its good to see Nokia actually attempting to get back in the game Unlike in 2007 when the were to late to really judge the smartphone threat...well done Nokia

I really hope the tablet experience is a Windows 8 Pro and not RT with beautiful build quality that takes us back to the N70 and 8800 days. I personally can't wait for the EOS/Tablet and i hope to God the Phablet rumours are true.

It is a shame that the L-EOS will be stuck with a substandard carrier in the US. Oh well. Maybe in 2014 VZW will get an improved L-EOS-8.

When will OEMs learn that exclusivity hurts them?
80. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
In fairness, AT&T pays a lot of money for exclusivity, and after the 900 and 920, apparently the formula is successful enough for Nokia and AT&T both to keep doing it. Not only that, with AT&T having the fastest LTE and second-most widespread, it isn't a bad choice for a tablet to be on. My preference would be T-Mobile but they only have LTE in a few cities yet, as while HSPA+ is nice, it's good to have both available (which Verizon doesn't, and where Verizon doesn't have LTE you're stuck on their CDMA-based 3G,ugh).
82. Whateverman (Posts: 3284; Member since: 17 May 2009)
True, but look at what happened when the Galaxy line was introduced. Samsung was horrible (at least IMO), look at the Samsung Glide fiasco. That was quite literally the phone from h*ll! I was tech support at VZW when it came out, and it KILLED Samsung rep with every customer who had ever used, seen or heard about it. Then out of nowhere, the Galaxy S shows up and everyone simply forgot about the Glide and now Samsung is the #1 cell phone manufacturer.
I'm sure your right about it working for them, but I for one will probably never experience the best Nokia has to offer because I refuse to go to att, and there are many others who feel the same.
BTW, I made the jump to T-Mobile from VZW... And I love it. I love my bill even better. I do miss the building penetration sometimes, but not enough to go back.
84. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
The places where VZW doesn't have LTE service are getting fewer and fewer as time goes on. By mid-year, there won't be any place where you have to suffer on 3G if you are on VZW. It will be LTE or nothing.

And what a tablet, if this is legit it will have very small bezel. Nice work Nokia looking forward to seeing more of your products might even consider switching to WP just for the 41MP monster.

Don't be too happy because they will be a competitor for EOS and its Xperia Honami aka i1

I actually dont give a rats ass to any sony, or as a matter of fact any android phone.

Honami's sensor leaked a few weeks ago. It's bigger than that of N8, but nowhere near 808. Honami might be able to compete with S4 zoom and N8, but not that 41mp camera.

Bigger sensor doesn't mean its better. Just wait until it release then judge

You are joking....?
56. kobainez (Posts: 442; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Can u just wait and see what sony can do?
59. x_maly_x (Posts: 72; Member since: 01 Jun 2013)
Bigger sensor + 6lens optic = better pictures , period.
99. kobainez (Posts: 442; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Honami will be better than galaxy camera for sure and it will be even greater than lumia eos in terms of specs minus the camera alone
64. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
You are wrong, ofcourse. More MPs don't mean better picture quality, but bigger sensor does, exactly. There's no way Sony achieves better images with smaller sensor, because you can't un-follow Laws of Physics.

What progression in ET? The one that went over campaigns and then you had to do it all over again and again, and again? On same maps or bit different, that modders put in, cause base map count wasn't that high at all? And you still started from searching for a server with population to fight on a map (ehem, searching a place to fight as a SL or PL for your people, or as a lonewolf to fight with randoms taking a base (server map)), then campaign ends and your max lvl character gets deleted, because it's over and you need to start from scratch again and I hope I made my point.
1. Be excellent to each other.
Blergh.................................... excuse me, I almost choked typing those lines. Courtesy that is getting in a way of honesty, to people of community I care deeply enough is one of most unexellent things I could damn do.
What you are doing, is raising undeserved expectations for a game that offers you as much as any other game has done and more in a way of making what others do way bigger and expansive. Sure, PS2 isn't perfect and could do with more variety of gameplay, but in no way it has less progress than any other FPS that is, was and probably will be on the market. FPS is too simple of genre: you push buttons to move and make things go away or appear. It's about feel and brainwork, competition between your eyes, hands and other person, it's about guns sounding and feeling nice. It's a simple pleasure to get away from complex life. There won't be any drastic changes to FPS in years to come.
That rule applies to you to and I consider bullshiting like that is unexcellent too, but I don't go spouting "RULES!"Hear from the spirit-world this mystery:
Creation is summed up, O man, in thee;
Angel and demon, man and beast art thou,
Yea, thou art all thou dost appear to be!
First of all:
Yes, I do prefer Enemy Territory (all of them, including brink) because they have more focus and direction. When I first started playing PS2, I thought "neat, this will turn into something awesome". The basic game play was there, and they havent really added much more than that. From a development point of view, if this was their intended goal so far, they clearly have missed their mark. They have gotten stuck in fixing things, opposed to adding more fun things to do.
I wouldnt have minded a less open world experience for a more intense focused one. Of course it was fun to strategise with Nick and lead 250 people into battle, but as far as I can remember, thats the last thing I ever did in PS2, and from what Ive gathered, it hasnt really changed much since.
But more importantly, this brings me to two:
If you really think I give a shit about what reasons other people give for not playing anymore, you dont really know me, so no thanks to the aggressive "OMG YOURE JUST LIKE THE OTHER NAYSAYERS" "IF YOU COMPARE IT TO OTHER FPS IT IS JUST AS GOOD!!!11". Taste is taste, objectivism doesnt exist.
and thirdly:
Youve been on the offensive on these subforums since you "quit the giraffes". Raging even.
Hence, rule #1, especially because of your last post.- Tom De Roeck.
verse publications & The Shopkeeper, an interactive short.
"Quantacat's name is still recognised even if he watches on with detached eyes like Peter Molyneux over a cube in 3D space, staring at it with tears in his eyes, softly whispering... Someday they'll get it." - The Conclave
The effort required to be civil is almost zero. If you cannot manage even that negligible amount of effort, it speaks poorly of both you and your opinion of the people you are conversing with.Nae King! Nae Quin! Nae Laird! Nae Master! We willnae be fooled again!
Do not fuck with the Internet. It is smarter, meaner, and far more ill-tempered than you will ever be.

Hm. Several big things.
Mattherson/Waterson merge - https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/475023041106169856
New roadmap post on Continental Locking - https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...ocking.189065/
Tank and Liberator changes - https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...hanges.189062/
That's a lot of discussion material, but I'd like to quote the tank changes.
- Tank reverse speed and acceleration will be made identical to the tanks forward speed and acceleration.
- Gives tanks another option to evade when caught in a bad position
- Allows tanks to retreat without having to expose rear armor
- Improves a tanks ability to evade C4 and other weapons
- Primary tank turrets will be stabilized. As the tank goes over rough terrain, the elevation of the turret won't change with it (unless it hits a constraint).
- Being able to more reliably fire on the move opens up more tactics
- Tank effective ranges are being reduced. This consists of adding gravity and slowing down projectiles.
- This should encourage tanks to get closer to the targets they intend to fight.
To summarise the effect this has on the Magrider:
1) All tank turrets are now stabilized. This used to be unique to the Mag to make it easier to fire while moving. With no compensation, this is a buff to only TR/NC tanks.
2) Added drop and lower speed to tank projectiles. No numbers on this yet, so it's hard to judge, but if the Mag gets any more drop on it, I'm fucking switching to AP-Lightnings. Adjusting your aim 30m above your target for an enemy within 150m is not fun.
3) All tanks reverse faster and are more maneuverable. This is a small buff for us, slightly larger buff for the other tanks, since they had so little maneuverability compared to us.
So, what does the Magrider have that is unique or effective? I genuinely can't name one unique feature of the Magrider I would take, ever, over the TR/NC options. We can still strafe at 5kph. Out-fucking-standing.
Here they go again with nerfing too many things at once, this time for liberators. It didn't work for harassers. I seriously doubt it will be better this time. I hope I'm wrong, the liberator needs a slight nerf, but seeing it become more or less obsolete again is just sad.

Clearly they need to use the VS faction trait on the Magrider - being fabou... I mean no bullet drop.
And I was starting to wonder how they where planning to do the entire plan of continent lock + lattice this month as they only just started to "work" on it. As usual, they just do it half way and gut out the major part of the concept.Steam: Dominicus

Oh great, they are screwing up even bigger and better now...
And if they really want to even the "Air to Ground weapons are too powerful!" thing why dont they bloody well fix AA/AAA?! The manpads are nigh on useless unless you can get a clear view in open grounds(god forbid firing from covert positions without exposing yourself) and the skygaurd has a painfully large spread, which yes limits its AI capability but it sure as hell makes it frustrating to shoot air targets.

Stabilized tanks, hell yeah bloody finally. Not gonna change much for magriders tbh, but we might actually get something fun out of it in the future.
The lib changes? Sounds like massive nerfs across the board with no compensation. I really do hope they up the damage on the belly guns to make the lib a viable hit and run vehicle because it will have no staying power at all.
The nerf to the tankbuster is interesting, I mean the reason everyone uses it is because the other weapons are utter rubbish.

Are you fucking kidding me... This is first "raging" post I'm doing after I "quit the giraffes" (I was never a part of them anyways)
And it won't change. It won't ever be ET:Planetside, nor it will be a more controlled environment, when gameplay development is based on community drive. What you like is not a damn thing they are offering. What you want and like it seems is nothing what Planetside 2 or 1 for that matter ever offered or will offer.
However, what you want is offered by community, not SOE themselves, because of being community driven game. PAL, PS2.Pickup, Community Clash is that thing you might want.
You state, that you'll be back when they add "newgameplay":
But that's the point I've been hammering into your head, that even with new stuff it will still be open world chaotic mmoFPS gameplay, just with more stuff and:
I ask "what new stuff", you answer "new gameplay". I ask about that and comment that gameplay is not gonna change, you shift topic on progression while not answering decently on what FUCKING new gameplay changes could be added to spark your interest in the game, you comment on lack of "apparent" progress.
I ask about that, cause you keep evading answering a single question and you accuse me of not being able to discuss stuff and "threaten" me with rules.
You know what, fuck you.Hear from the spirit-world this mystery:
Creation is summed up, O man, in thee;
Angel and demon, man and beast art thou,
Yea, thou art all thou dost appear to be!
Can't say that the Lib changes weren't needed but not sure if they've gone too far - as ever, changing tons of stuff at once.
Also - lol airhammer nerf.
Edit: it's mentioned further down that thread that SOE are looking at making the Lib's sound more noticeable as well.
I LOVE those tank changes for my Lightning but for the Mag... yeah. Thats going to bite VS in the butt.
Continent locking is also only rudimentary at best. I guess that gives them another 18 months to introduce the inercontinental one?
And Libs changes... they are still in this infinite buff/nerf circle instead of fixing fundamental problems with the ground/air interaction. Do't know why that is. It's not like the feedback would be missing.
Also concerning pods:
"They are all around to good. Good at killing infantry and good at killing vehicles."
WHAT TOOK YOU SO FUCKING LONG? I don't know if making ESFs more of an AI weapons platform is the way to go. But hey. Grats for finally realizing what people have been saying since beta...Planetside 2: bobby is going home

Tank changes sound good, should make even the mag a lot more survivable. But they should really update magburner to work backwards while reversing otherwise it will be basically useless. Hopefully the tank weapon nerf only applies to those getting the stability buff (ie not mag main guns which already have huge drop).
Those Liberator nerfs though... fair enough, roll back some of the survivability changes, less sure about the weapon nerfs. Velocity nerf, fair enough, make it harder to hit a moving target. And the Tankbuster was a bit too strong. But making the Zephyr a shit anti-tank weapon because they haven't sold enough Dusters? God knows what they will do once people realise how amazing the Shredder is...
finally, the improvements to liberator stock resistance to tank rounds and some heavy assault rockets made during the liberator update are being reverted.

Consequences - Poem by William Morris Meredith Jr.
I. Of Choice
Despair is big with friends I love,
Hydrogen and burning jews.
I give them all the grief I have
But I tell them, friends, I choose, I choose,
Don't make me say against my glands
Or how the world has treated me.
Though gay and modest give offense
And people grieve pretentiously,
More than I hoped to do, I do
And more than I deserve I get;
What little I attend, I know
And it argues order more than not.
My desperate friends, I want to tell
Them, you take too delicate offense
At the stench of time and man's own smell,
It is only the smell of consequence.
II. Of Love
People love each other and the light
Of love gilds but doesn't alter,
People don't change one another, can scarcely
By taking will and thought add a little
Now and then to their own statures
Which, praise them, they do,
So that here we are in all our sizes
Flooded in the impartial daylight sometimes,
Spotted sometimes in a light we make ourselves,
Human, the beams of attention
Of social animals at their work
Which is loving; and sometimes all dark.
The only correction is
By you of you, by me of me.
People are worth looking at in this light
And if you listen what they are saying is,
Love me sun out there whoever you are,
Chasing me from bed in the morning,
Spooking me all day with shadow,
Surprising me whenever you fall;
Make me conspicuous as I go here,
Spotted by however many beams,
Now light, finally dark. I fear
There is meant to be a lot of darkness,
You hear them say, but every last creature
Is the one it meant to be.
III. My Acts
The acts of my life swarm down the street like Puerto Rican kids,
Foreign but small and, except for one, unknived.
They do no harm though their voices slash like reeds;
All except one they have evidently been loved.
And down the hill where I've planted spruce and red pine
In a gang of spiked shadows they slouch at night.
I am reasonably brave. I have been, except on one occasion,
Myself: it is no good trying to be what you are not.
We live among gangs who seem to have no stake
In what we're trying to do, no sense of property or race,
Yet if you speak with authority they will halt and break
And sullenly, one by one, show you a local face.
I dreamt once that they caught me and, holding me down,
Burned my genitals with gasoline;
In my stupid terror I was telling them names
So my manhood kept and the rest went up in flames.
'Now, say the world is a fair place,' the biggest one said,
And because there was no face worse than my own there
I said it and got up. Quite a lot of me is charred.
By our code it is fair. We play fair. The world is fair.

The nation's first drive-in theater reportedly got its start in New Jersey, way back in 1933. By the World War II years, drive-in movie theaters were popping up all over Virginia.
At the end of the 20th century, nearly all of them had faded out of existence. So many aspects of modern life had changed. Today, there there are only six still operating in the Old Dominion. Two of them can be found along historic U.S. Route 11 here in the Shenandoah Valley.
Hull's Drive-in is located a couple of miles north of Lexington, Va. in Rockbridge County. It opened in 1950 as the Lee Drive-In. That year may have been the perfect time to open a drive-in theater, seeing as it was at the start of a big decade for drive-in theaters across the country.
Sebert W. Hull and his wife, a local couple from Lexington, purchased the drive-in theater seven years later, and changed it's name to Hull's Drive-in. Known for their friendly way of doing business, they kept it going until Mr. Sebert passed away in 1999. That year, for the first time in its history, the theater shut down.
Then, thanks to a community support group that was hastily formed to take it over as a non-profit operation, the feature film schedule was back before the year 2000 rang in. The quick action by a concerned group of people allowed the theater to hang on to its record of continuous operation since it opened.Read more...

ShenandoahValley.com is owned and operated by Shenandoah Valley Productions, a little "mom-and-pop" business, but one that's located right here in the region. Our mission has long been to showcase the area's visual beauty, unique "Valley" people and culture and, of course, some really, really rich history.
We first fell in love with Virginia in 1970, courtesy of the U.S. Navy, stationed in Norfolk. That was the year Virginia officially declared itself "for lovers." But for us, the real love affair started in 1977, when we first visited the Shenandoah Valley on our wedding night. We moved here a year later, and well ...we are still here!
So it's kind of a long story how we got from 1978 to this website, but here it is.
Website background photos are provided by a select group of photographers from across the region who share their own love of the Valley through the lenses of their cameras. Words alone may not really describe the place.
Our regional events listings are always up to date, and we're not really selling anything on here. In fact, we get no outside funding, but are wholly independent. Like many of our friends and neighbors who also feel blessed to live here, free and independent, surrounded by peace and beauty.
Each month we head out to some part of this diverse region and do a feature story and travel video about it -- some cool event, piece of history or special place that makes the name "Shenandoah" so uniquely known worldwide.
So, come and set a spell, and please also consider making a donation. Either way, we're glad you stopped by. Come on back to see us again!
Oh, and please visit our Facebook page, too.

The Carolina Panthers, who will celebrate "Fan Fest" Friday in Charlotte, have announced that wide receiver DeAndre Presley will be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform List because stress fracture. Presley, who played at Appalachian State University, is in his third year of professional
football. He was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the San Diego Chargers in May of 2012, but was placed on waivers in August of that season.
Presley was picked up by the Miami Dolphins and played in four games for Miami in between two stints on the Dolphins' practice squad. He did not record any statistics.
He spent the first four games on the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster on October 3. Presley made his NFL debut at Cincinnati on October 7, and he played in the next three games prior to being waived on November 6, and then re-signed to the practice squad two days later for the final eight games of the 2012 season.
Presley spent time on the practice squad between Miami and Carolina. in 2013. He began the season on the Dolphins' practice squad and was terminated after one game on September 10. The Panthers signed him to the practice squad by the Panthers eight days later, where he remained for the last 14 regular season games and the postseason. The Panthers signed him as a free agent on January 14 of this year.
Presley was the starting quarterback at App State in 2010 and led the Mountaineers to the Football Championship Series playoffs, where they lost to Villanova in the second round. Presley played in 45 games at App State.
He lined up at quarterback, wide receiver and cornerback in addition to returning punts and kicks his senior year. Presley completed 318-of-522 passes for 3,911 yards and 27 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. He rushed 304 times for 1,629 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also made eight receptions for 187 yards and a touchdown during his senior season.
Defensively, Presley made 22 tackles, he defensed two passes, and he forced two fumbles. On special teams, Presley returned four punts for 19 yards and nine kickoffs for 204 yards. He ranks in the top ten in school history in 25 different statistical categories.
He finished third in the voting for the Walter Payton Award, given to the nation's top FCS player, as a junior after becoming the 13th player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season---amassing 3,670 yards of total offense and accounting for 35 touchdowns.

We've never noticed before, but Kristen Stewart and Jena Malone bear a striking resemblance!
Both actresses have thick brown hair (which they even style the same way!), high cheekbones and berry pouts. These leading ladies have a penchant for indie films, but have both been a part of major blockbuster franchises — 'Twilight' and 'The Hunger Game,' respectively.

Closers: Dimension Conflict – New anime action MMO revealed
Yes, another anime MMORPG! Not to be mistaken with Soul Worker or even Project NT, this is Closers: Dimension Conflict, developed by debuting studio, Naddic Games. It is an anime action side-scroller, which can clearly be seen in the 2 videos in this post
Closers basically revolves around the government-sanctioned organization "Union", a group of high school students with special powers (also known as team Black Lambs).
They are tasked to defend the planet from invading aliens, which somehow are able to land here via dimensional portals. Since the team's job is to close the portals, hence they are known as "Closers".
There are 4 character classes, which can be seen below. Just in case you are wondering, the lady in blue is the coordinator NPC, who will be a prominent figure in the game. Just to add, PvP elements are being developed, since the game is still around 1 year from its initial test phase.
A couple of real life locations are ported into the game, including the Gangnam Subway Station, now famous after the hit song by PSY. Naddic Games is intending to launch Closed Beta later next year, with an official launch for 2014 and around 20 dungeons planned. That is the same timing as Project NT and even Soul Worker! 2014 will be an interesting year for anime-style online games
the art style looks like japanese anime; … ; and Gangnam Station is actually a fairly crowded place.
woah….game style looks pretty good. i like crossover from old 2D and effectnasty sidescrollaction. music is pretty. hope to see it soon and play it.
keep your infos hot as a pancake cinder. thank you ^^
Denokres are you blind…looks nothing like him :p
Anyway looks pretty cool, interesting and looks fun

Kindly remember the ONLY WAY experts receive any credit at all for spending time with customers is if you click on OK, GOOD or EXCELLENT SERVICE even though you have made a deposit or are a subscription customer.

Also remember, sometimes the law does not support what we want it to support, but that is not the fault of the person answering the question, so please be courteous.
Thank you. So just to be clear, I put in the operating agreement something like:
If the member is also an employee of the Company, their share in the Company will not vest until they completed 5 years of employment with the Company. Until that time, each 1% share has a value of only $1 if they leave prior to 5 years and after 5 years the 1% value is the actual 1% value of the net value of the company.
Also, I can have a provision in the operating agreement that says the majority shareholder can force a repurchase of the interest for $1 within those 5 years correct?
