Chapter 15 snippet
Published by captain kate in the blog captain kate's blog. Views: 111
Commodore Alexis Ducharme frowned as she read the message from the Admiralty. Licking her lips, she couldn't believe what she was reading! An Alliance ship had entered this sector to destroy their colonies? And Captain Kate Almir commanded the ship no less!
If the communiqué hadn't come from the Admiralty, she wouldn't have believed it. Kate Almir was well known in the Sagnar Federation from her role in saving the Alliance President. There were many in their armed forces that wished they could meet her. Others still wished they could be trained by her to do what she did…so this came as a total shock.
Leaning back in her chair, she looked at her three-ship squadron. Flying her flag on the battle cruiser Bounty, she was entrusted with finding who, or what, had been murdering their colonies. Once she found them, her orders were simple: shoot to kill. However, finding out that the murderer was Kate Almir made things more difficult.
It would make the Admiralty happy if I bring her back alive, she mused. And with a single Wichita-class heavy cruiser wasn't a match for what I've got.
Accompanied by the heavy cruiser's Sheffield and Exeter, her squadron was an imposing force. The Admiralty had decided to give her the firepower to handle any marauder she found. Between the three of them, she mused; they could have handled a battle ship, or even a dreadnaught in a pinch.
"Something about this doesn't seem right," she said, looking at her Chief of Staff, Captain Jason White-Green.
White-Green was an experienced officer like herself. With a head of salt-and pepper hair, he wasn't much younger then she was. Between the two of them, they had seen extensive combat in battling pirates. When their orders had been cut to find the murderers, they had been excited to take the mission on. However, after weeks of finding nothing but murdered worlds they had grown jaded. It seemed they were always two steps behind whoever was behind the atrocities.
"What doesn't seem right, sir?" he asked.
"Why would Kate Almir do such a thing?" she asked. "Everything our Intelligence agency has learned about her says she wouldn't do this."
"People have been known to change," he said, shrugging.
"That much is true," she said. "But I really doubt whether she is the one behind this."
"What are your plans then, sir?" he asked. "Ignore out orders?"
"Whoa ho," she said. "Not a chance! I'm considering taking her prisoner."
"What about her ship?"
"Capture it," she said. "The prize money would be worth it for us…and imagine the new tech we could learn from that Alliance ship!"
"Are you sure the Admiralty will like you disobeying their orders like that?"
"If I bring them Kate Almir on a silver platter," she said. "I don't think they will care one bit. But, honestly, I don't think she did it."
"You're awfully sure of that, sir," he said, shaking his head.
"Call it a gut hunch," she said, not telling him that she had read the classified files they had on Almir. No, she told herself, there was no way Almir did this.
However, she thought, keeping herself from chuckling. If I capture her, I maybe can learn who is really behind this! It would be worth at least one star!
"Captain Alwyn," she said, clicking on the com unit on her chair's arm. "Set a course for Proxima Six…best speed."
"We're going big game hunting," she said, watching White-Green's face fill with a smile.
"May your hunches always be right, sir,"
I hope they are too, she told herself, keeping her face a mask. Otherwise I could end up dead! That woman has a tendency of winning despite the odds being against her.

RV Irene's height is 157cm
if you just look at her face, you could imagine her being 165cm or something
but she's surprisingly short
post response:

- ㅇㅇ |2016.02.10 18:49
- they edited that MBN picture;; even if you can't find the original picture, there are so many pictures of RV wearing sneakers and that look better than that photo. here, she's even wearing lower heels and her proportions look fine
- 9215
- ㅋㅋ |2016.02.10 23:12
- it would be nice if she was taller but it's not like she's a model and her short height is what makes her Irene, so I like it ㅋㅋ there are lot of people making a fuss about male idols being short too but aren't male and female idols cute when they're short?ㅋㅋ

Inhibit-P SNS
Inhibit-P SNS
Is it desirable/undesirable to use Inhibit-P with Green tea (EGCG -Epigallocatechin gallate-) as a decarboxylase inhibitor ?
I read this on the net and on this forum :" Co-administration of pyridoxine without
a decarboxylase inhibitor accelerates the extracerebral decarboxylation to such an extent that
it cancels out the effects of levodopa administration, a circumstance that historically caused great confusion"
Inhibit-P by SNS has Mucuna P. (L-dopa) and Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate.
I read also that Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate should not be co-administrated with L-dopa in the same moment (even if Pyridoxal phosphate
is a required cofactor for the metabolization in to Dopamine)
I'm in confusion.
The effects are dose-dependent, and peripheral conversion is typically a concern for parkinson's patients using 15-20x the dose of l-dopa found in a serving of inhibit-P. You can use EGCG if you choose, but again, dose-dependency becomes an issue. If you want to achieve the effects of clinical decarboxylase inhibitors administered to PD patients, you would need about 40 caps of your typical highly-concentrated green tea extract. However, 5g of EGCG is a good starting point for mild decarboxylation if you can afford that.
At the end of the day, I wouldn't worry about adding or subtracting anything from Inhibit-P. If prolactin control is your concern, it will do you well.
Your is a good reply and in a way It was expected. But I'd like to understand better.
in a very SIMPLE way:
Decarboxylation is needed to convert L-dopa to dopamine (once passed the blood-brain barrier) and it is metabolized to dopamine by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase.
Vit B6 (pyridoxine)... is a co-factor that AID this process of decarboxylation.
This process enhanced by Vit b6 (pyridoxine) can happens ALSO outside the brain ( peripheral tissues - BAD thing- ).
Green tea (EGCG) or more potent carbidopa can block/reduce this process ONLY outside the brain -GOOD thing-.
in addition : If so much EGCG is needed to exert some effects on decarboxylase inhibition ( at peripheral tissues ), WHY product PROLACTRONE is so proud of the 332mg of Camellia senensis extract added to the Ldopa?
Highlight 1. Ldopa suppresses prolactin.
2. The addition of carbidopa (a decarboxylase inhibitor similar to that which is in Prolactrone) further enhances the prolactin reducing effect.
3. Ldopa acts predominantly through the formation of dopamine in the hypothalamus, but inside the blood-brain barrier which requires the concurrent administration of a decarboxylase inhibitor.
Neurology. 1981 Oct;31(10):1356-9.
Prolactin secretion in Parkinson disease.
Eisler T, Thorner MO, MacLeod RM, Kaiser DL, Calne DB.
We studied the dopaminergic control of lactotroph cells in the anterior pituitary of parkinsonian patients and age-matched normal subjects. The resting levels of prolactin and the TRH-induced rise in prolactin were normal in Parkinson disease. 1. --Levodopa elicited a normal suppression of prolactin concentrations in parkinsonian subjects; the major abnormality to emerge was attenuation of the response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in the parkinsonian patients following administration of Sinemet (levodopa plus carbidopa) or bromocriptine. These findings imply pathology of extrastriatal dopamine systems in Parkinson disease. 2. Since the addition of carbidopa enhanced the suppression of prolactin induced by levodopa, exogenous levodopa probably 3. acts predominantly through the formation of dopamine in the hypothalamus, but inside the blood-brain barrier, rather than as a direct effect of circulating dopamine on the anterior pituitary or areas of the hypothalamus outside the blood-brain barrier.

LOW not high doses of EGCG should be used because a small % of EGCG can pass the BBB. Since there is only so much Dopa decarboxylase present to bind to we want to only use enough to prevent metabolism outside the BBB but not so much that the remaining EGCG will pass the BBB and prevent metabolism where we want it.
5 grams is far too great a dose. We want to keep it to under 500mg.
In this study we see that 800mg EGCG orally was 5 times more than was needed for EGCG to work as both a suicidal Dopa decarboxylase inhbitor and also as a COMT inhibitor. This = 160mg. 1 cap of Prolactrone contains 333mg of green tea extract standardized for 50% EGCG or 166mg EGCG.
L-DOPA is the drug of first choice in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Inhibition of the peripheral clearance of L-DOPA by COMT and dopa decarboxylase increases its entry to the brain and subsequent conversion to dopamine. Our study shows that EGCG potently inhibits the methylation of L-DOPA. The IC50 of 0.2 µM is lower than the peak human blood levels of EGCG after taking 800 mg of EGCG (~1 µM). EGCG, as a potent COMT inhibitor, a mild irreversible inhibitor of dopa decarboxylase (Bertoldi et al., 2001),

These studies show that it required 600mg daily orally or 300mg IV to reduce prolactin.
Suppression of Lactation:
When the mother chooses not to breast feed or the baby is lost, suppression of lactation may be required. Initially the get engorged, however in the absence of suckling further milk production stops on its own. Firm support to the is
helpful in reducing the discomfort. Manual expression is not very helpful as it promotes further milk secretion. Estrogens in high doses can suppress lactation, however there are side effects and the risk of venous thrombosis, hence
these are not recommended. Bromocryptine, a dopamine agonist, given 2.5 mg twice a day for 14 days can suppress lactation by producing a fall in prolactin levels. This therapy is expensive, has side effects and there may be rebound
lactation once the drug is stopped. FDA no longer approves it. Pyridoxine – Vitamin B6, given 200 mg three times a day for 5-7 days is quite effective in suppressing lactation and the drug has no side effects.

Effect of pyridoxine on human hypophyseal trophic hormone release: a possible stimulation of hypothalamic dopaminergic pathway.
Delitala G, Masala A, Alagna S, Devilla L.
A single dose of pyridoxine (300 mg iv) produced significant rises in peak levels of immunoreactive growth hormone gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - and significant decrease of plasma prolactin PRL in 8 hospitalized healthy subjects.
Serum glucose, luteinizing hormone lh - leutenizing hormone - , follicle stimulating hormone FSH - follicle stimulating hormone - and thyrotropin TSH were not altered significantly. In addition, in 5 acromegalic patients who were studied
with both L-dopa and pyridoxine, inhibition of gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - secretion followed either agent in a similar pattern. These data suggest a hypothalamic dopaminergic effect of pyridoxine.

Here we see that even 10mg pyridoxine can reverse the benefits of levodopa. This would be an even lower dose if P5P was used so single digits.
This makes pretty much any argument FOR combining Ldopa and pyridoxine for reducing prolactin worthless.
Drug-Drug Interaction
Pyridoxine increases levodopa metabolism, decreasing the amount of levodopa available to the central nervous system.
In patients with Parkinson's disease, as little as 10 mg of pyridoxine may reverse the clinical benefits as well as the adverse effects of levodopa. Coadministration of levodopa and carbidopa has minimized the effects of this interaction.
The pharmacologic effects of levodopa may be decreased.
3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed.
Avoid pyridoxine in patients receiving levodopa alone; however, the interaction can be minimized by giving levodopa with carbidopa.
None determined.

I always think of that DeNiro movie "Awakenings" when I hear about L-Dopa.

If you search for Ldopa and drug interactions youll get a bunch but one that youll see alot of is pyridoxine.

Also Prolactrone uses a 99% Ldopa at 166mg per cap or roughly double whats in 1 cap of the competitor. + 166mg EGCG or 333 50% extract.
BLACK LION RESEARCH Follow your own path-
I was actually comparing it to the 60% Ldopa Inhibit P uses which is inferior.
And pointing out that Per cap Prolactrone has more than 100% more Ldopa.
BLACK LION RESEARCH Follow your own path-
More l-dopa =/= better.
Higher % extract =/= better.
EGCG underdosed by a factor of 60 (no typo) =/= better.
So we have 99% which is 1% garbage/other
Yours has 40%.
See the difference? 100mg of ours = 99mg 100mg of yours =60mg.
Still having trouble?
IN addition, I would have likely stayed out of it had you not spouted out the Bull(&@# about EGCG knowing full and well that we use it in our product which is also a prolactin inhibitor. So, In the future either 1. know what your saying and use truthful statements. Or 2. Dont intentionally attempt to downgrade our product.
You can leave well enough alone or not. Your call.
BLACK LION RESEARCH Follow your own path-
In fact, you don't even understand how your own product works. EGCG is a prolactin inhibitor at 166mg? Actually, let me TELL YOU the reason it is supposedly in your product: to act as a decarboxylase inhibitor and increase central dopamine. It is NOT a prolactin inhibitor, unless you believe a single cap of green tea extract (which typically contains 250mg egcg vs your 166mg in this product) will crush prolactin. And it only acts as a decarboxylase inhibitor at around the 5 gram mark (see Ironfist's post).
You came into this thread and broke both of the rules that you just posted btw: you did not post truthful statements and you intentionally downgraded our product, leading to my truthful (but admittedly downgrading) rebuttal. Everything you just said is laughable, so I will do you the courtesy of dropping this until you learn more about your own product and lose the hypocritical attitude.
Actually you may want to take an english class. I said we use EGCG in our product which is a prolactin inhibitor.
Like if I said I use EGGS in a cake which is a baked good. Am I then saying eggs are a baked good?
I know how the product works. I dont care if some guy posted something on the internet about it. Post a research study or it didnt happen.
In addition, clearly you didnt read the research I posted. Too much EGCG is bad. 160mg or so is good.
There is a reason we include it and at a specific amount. I posted studies to back my claims.
BLACK LION RESEARCH Follow your own path-
And as for "english class," if you want the word "which" to refer to "our product" in the sentence "I said we use EGCG in our product which is a prolactin inhibitor," you need to add a comma after the word "product." You made the same grammatical error in your prior post which is why I misinterpreted it. So yes, go back to English class.
This ends when you want it to.
Also, levodopa is labeled as a drug and sale of it as a dietary supplement is illegal unless used as part of an herbal extract. Since your label only lists pure levodopa without extraction from Mucuna Pruriens, you are breaking the law. Lastly, as someone who knows the cost of raws for green tea extract and l-dopa, you are making an absurd profit margin by pricing prolactrone at almost $40.
I didn't want to go down this road, but as I said earlier, just remember that you're the guy who came into the Inhibit-P thread, not vice versa.
^I'm not sure that preventing the spread of misinformation from a competitor attempting to discredit Inhibit-P in a thread entitled "Inhibit-P by SNS" would qualify as pissing. And since a contest requires more than one party, I'd say this is just solo-pissing .
lots of technical talk going on, just one question towards BLR why is Prolactrone close to 40 bucks for ldopa?

I love Indian food. Sometimes I go to an Indian buffet lunch and order carryout. They give you containers and you fill up to your heart's content.
The problem is I tend to full guilty about doing this - because the containers hold far more than I would eat at a buffet luncheon (can feed 2 - 3 for dinner!)
Kashmir on Newbury gives several really large containers to use for carryout.
The container at the Kebab Factory is fairly large.
The container at Bombay Club I thought was a bit small.
Obviously, I could put less food in my containers. But my question is do you think it is ok to fill your containers (that the restaurant gave you) to the brim?

Delhi, Ncr, India (PressExposure) April 22, 2009 -- Herbal hair colors are in demand nowadays. They are known for their effectiveness and medicinal value. People at large are getting aware about the side effects of the synthetic colors, hence returning towards the natural or herbal hair colors. These colors are manufactured from the leaves of various herbs or plants. However, the raw material is the leaves of various herbs, but the final product is reached only after going through certain procedures and processing.
Herbal colorants are ideal for all hair types. They give you the desired result and even more. At present, various varieties of these herbal colors are available. Some of the popular types are as mentioned below:
1) Mahogany Color: Mahogany is a reddish brown hair color. This colorant is long lasting. It is suitable for adding a red effect to the brown hair. It forms a protective covering over the hair. Mahogany color passes through the dermatological test. It stimulates the growth of hair and makes them silky and lustrous.
2) Chestnut Brown Color: This color primarily comes in two varieties viz. light and dark chestnut brown hair colors. It gives a moderate reddish shade. It is suitable for all hair types, except the dark brown. It can be applied on both straight and curly hair. Its special feature includes dandruff resistance.
3) Golden Brown Color: It is a yellowish orange color which resembles golden color. This colorant is most popular among the fashion lovers. Golden brown color is suitable for light to medium blonde hair. It provides a shimmering look to the hair and makes them soft and silky.
4) Orange Color: This is very popular among the young people. This color is very effective in protecting and nourishing hair. It spreads all over the hair throughly, from the root to the tip and makes them soft and fragrant.
5) Lemon Color: This color is named after the lemon fruit as it provides a shade to the hair, similar to the outer skin of lemon. Soon after its application, the lemon color provides a shiny look to the hair. Like other herbal colors, it also has no side effect.
In the fashion conscious world of today, hair colors have an important role to play. But, a little carelessness in choosing a hair color may cost you a lot. You can get rid of all these worries by simply choosing the herbal hair colorants, which most of the people are choosing nowadays. The only thing you have to consider is that which shade is suitable for your hair. The increasing popularity of these herbal colors is giving rise to new and innovative colorants, every day.

Review of "Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PSP)"
"You wanna be a big cop in a small town? F*** off up the model village." or visit my blog to learn stuff - chuck 'clownfoot's inverse midas' into Google!
"The Alan Hansen of footy sims..."
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 6 (PSP)Doesn't time fly in a Pro Evolution Soccer world? Minutes ago it seemed like the PES automatons had only just purchased version 5 of the titular "better than Fifa" footy smash and already Pro Evolution Soccer 6 is here to kick a similar amount of Electronic Arts' arse. Greeted with grandiose cheers from the PES faithful who regard the game as flawless (despite the occasional flaw) and a large "bah" from a minority who hate the way Konami incessantly tinker with the game mechanics in each subsequent version (look you bunch of monkey's - why fix something that isn't broken?) a sixth incarnation was always going to be difficult to improve upon the revered brilliance of prior Pro Evo escapades - especially on the PSP.
PES5 certainly proved fallible. With no Master League or Cup competitions the game featured a distinct lack of challenge and the longevity usually associated with the yearly fixture. Coupled with an extremely mind-numbing loading time the pick up and play nature of the PSP was severely undermined. Both Burnout Legends and Grand Theft Auto proved more appealing as appropriate PSP titles to play on the toilet. PES6, therefore, has a hell of a lot to live up too. Not only does it have to re-obtain its position at the top of the PSP gaming league, it now seems even further away from challenging the mighty Amiga classic, Sensible Soccer, for the title of "best football game ever made… ever".To borrow an old footy cliché, Pro Evo 6 is a game of two distinctly differing halves. It will annoy and impress in equal measure, but eventually carves out a desired victory after much blundering and flabbergasting - pretty much like the current Liverpool squad. Saying that, there is plenty here to admire! Most importantly, the two essential bugbears of long-term challenge and long-winded loading times are eradicated by some inspired Rafa Benitez tactical substitutions, which cover the limitations of and much improve upon the earlier PSP Pro Evo release.
The inclusion of a Master League system (and various other cups) is a welcome, if not superb, addition from Konami. Whilst some will be disappointed that the Master League lacks the ability to develop players, (making it pointless to transfer young players into the squad in the hope of building up their skills) it pretty much has all the other necessary features, such as buying and selling players, gaining promotions, etc. that have been part and parcel of the franchise since PES1. The Master League demands a larger investment of your time in building a team featuring the likes of Pele, Van Basten and Cruyff (Johann, not the whelp known as Jordi) that makes it far more challenging and interesting than the drab single season play of PES5. Furthermore, considering the Master League has limited affect on other facets of the game it's difficult to see why Konami didn't include this feature in PES5, unless it was simply a rushed release for the spanking new handheld platform.Indeed, the increased gaming components of the Master League have no ill effects on the in game graphics, sound or presentation. The graphics are as fluid as you'd expect of the PS2 version (only a slight case of slow-down occurs when things get busy at a free-kick) with the players lovingly composed and detailed - all heading, chesting, passing and volleying the ball as if you're watching the real thing on Match of the Day. It's exquisite stuff, especially on a handheld machine. Equally a number of the PS2's cut screens remain giving the footy action a little more heightened character. Sequences of the referee handing out bookings, linesman flagging players off-side, wonderfully rendered replays after scoring a goal or a near miss, players running off to be subbed and the perfect moment when an irate player throws his toys out of the pram after a nonchalant tackle and begins a shoving contest, are all present and correct adding to the overall atmosphere expected of a football match.
More impressive still is that with top-notch graphics and the addition of a Master League system the long loading times of PES5 have been impressively overcome. It's odd that with still more content than the previous release this happens to be the case, but now the loading time is swift and merciful, passing in a nanosecond rather than enduring like the seven-year war. This makes the game a virtual pleasure to boot up and the efforts of Konami's techies should be commended for getting even more out of the PSP this time round. Of course, this means that certain other aspects of the PS2 version have been left back in the changing rooms sulking in Carlos Tevez fashion, in order to maintain such swift loading dynamics. For instance, there's only one type of stadium to play matches within and the in-game commentary is lacking (except for an occasional "it's a goal" comment). Yet, for the smaller capacity of the PSP to its big brother, the reasoning behind some sacrifices needing to be made is a legitimate one. The wanton meanderings of Peter Brackley and Trevor Brooking talking bollocks in the match commentary are a small mercy to be dropped by the developers - making the gain of the Master League even more worthwhile.So far so sounding like the Brazilian World Cup champions of 1970 then! Unfortunately, some piss-poor defending of Ashley Cole proportions soon brings PES6 back down to Earth with a bump. Not everything is as Carlos Fandango as Konami would like. The main concern is with the unnecessary tinkering to the games mechanics (perhaps as a nod towards the word "evolution" in the title) which, at first, sucks the big hairy one. Konami have obviously set out to improve the way the game plays - why else tinker? - but for some, it will be regarded as an unforgivable intervention to an otherwise lively and exciting franchise.
The first problem is PES6 plays so much slower than previous PES incarnations. The ball often moves as if dredging through quick-sand, making quick passing to players in space take eons. This allows for the opposition to get back into defensive positions, preventing the counter-attacking play synonymous with prior PES entries. Gone is the cut and thrust of an attacking dynamic, replaced with a more languid system of contained and technical build-up play. The lack of zip and liveliness, once the life-blood of the PES franchise, is much missed and the more defensive aspects, whilst presenting a more realistic perception of football, is not as instantly engaging. Indeed, with the success rate of through balls (especially the much used flighted through-ball of PES5) also reduced in scope the game play, at first, leads to a one dimensional strategy of maintaining possession, getting the ball wide and chucking in crosses for strikers. Whilst this is less of an issue with better teams, attempting to play a Master League season with the bog-standard Master League team (featuring the usual suspects of Minandina, Castolo, Espimas, Valery and the like) is a real chore. Normally the bog-standard Master League team is a decent challenge now, with the slower pace, it's bloody infuriating.What really annoys, though, is the pointless re-calibration of the shooting button. Previously a skill in judging the length of time to hold down the shoot button to configure the power of a shot, PES6 features a now ridiculous power gauge. A slight tap of the button is all that's required - any more and the ball is likely to end up in the stratosphere. Gone is the skill in judging the power of the shot and, indeed, at first shooting is a pain in the backside. Barely do your strikers see enough of the ball, due to the more defensive nature of PES6, and now when they do get a sight on goal, the ball is more often than not blazed over thanks to the non-instinctive shooting system. Highly annoying!
The tinkering has provided some improved gameplay aspects; passing requires more skill and heading has improved greatly on PES5. But, along with poor use of the PSP controller to include all of the technical skills from the PS2 version (at least half-a-dozen of them could be dropped for a more instinctive game), PES6 seems over-complicated where once simplicity was the bastion of common sense footy play.However, your enjoyment and appreciation of PES6, in the long-run, will depend on the capacity for patience and adapting to these gameplay niggles. Like the Liverpool team of late, a stumbling start to the season, but by the end a late surge up the league table and Champions League and FA Cup victory highlights some enduring longevity. Invest some time in learning the new footy mechanics and strategies involved in wining matches and it's unlikely you'll remove the game from the loading tray anytime soon. Yes, it truly is great fun and does slowly become instinctive given time. Eventually you'll work out when to play through balls at the right time, when to pass the ball sideways, when to mug a few players off with the abundance of tricks available and, essentially, learn how shoot properly without blazing the ball over the bar. From a one-dimensional strategy the game soon opens up into a host of ways to play and score, which is Pro Evolution Soccer at its best. PES6 is still the excellent game it was, albeit wearing a slightly different skin. Once you've got the hang of the more slow build up play and configured ways to get behind opposition defenders, PES6 is like seeing an old school chum for the first time in a good couple of years and popping down the pub for a pint. Friendship re-acquainted - bliss.
For some (the impatient among us), the niggles will be too much and childish complaints along the lines of "it's not PES4" are likely to ring out. Along with other irks the morons with over-expectations like to allude to, such as a lack of in-game commentary and player licences (which you really can't blame Konami for), certain fans will be throwing their PSP across the room and into a bedroom wall in a fit of blood-boiling rage. In the long run, of course, these are the fools missing out.PES6 is the Alan Hansen of football games - solid, dependable and intelligent, happy to play the ball sideways and backwards to maintain possession, but sometimes lacking in pace and flair. You can't help thinking that if Konami had kept the PES5 game engine (which is faster, simpler and more fun) and merely added the Master League system and superior loading times, this review would be hailing a new king of the football simulation. As it stands, PES6 continues the tradition of wonderful football games that Konami have become revered for without nearing the heights scaled by the best of the franchise - the mighty PES4 on the PS2. This is still hugely excellent stuff, once re-adjusted to the annoyingly tinkered gameplay, and considering PES4 isn't available on the PSP, PES6 is a considerable must buy purchase.
Overall - Miles better than Fifa, but not a patch on the simplicity of PES4 (or the mighty Sensible Soccer for that matter), Pro Evolution Soccer 6 does reign supreme on the PSP

It is also now possible to retain control of the ball after performing a sliding tackle while all-new feints and backwards dribbling are now possible thanks to the improved dribbling controls. Coupled with the series' famed realism the result is a more flowing and fluid game with all the movement and pace of the real thing. Konami's has also added a raft of new licensed sides to Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and all versions will include the fully-licensed kits and squads for the Czech French Australian English Italian Argentinian Spanish and Swedish national sides. Similarly the French Ligue 1 Orange has been added to the game alongside key European sides such as Sporting Lisbon Benfica Olympiacos Piraeus and Manchester United.

This note presents selected findings based on the set of well-being indicators published in How's Life? 2017.
Government at a Glance provides a dashboard of key indicators to help you analyse international comparisons of public sector performance.
Although Finland achieved a widely acclaimed transformation to become a leading knowledge-based economy in the late 20th century, the 2009 recession and disruptive change contributing to a deep restructuring of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry and the downsizing of traditional sectors have weighed on the economy, productivity growth and international competitiveness. Numerous policy reforms have since been undertaken, and public and private investment, especially in applied R&D, has been cut back. Strengthening and lifting Finland's innovation system out of a period of uncertainty requires a coherent and unified new vision for science, technology and innovation (STI), renewed investment and policy instruments. This vision should be oriented towards renewal tackling societal challenges and developing new knowledge-based competitive advantages at global scale. Success calls for better co-ordination and co-operation among policy actors and national and regional-levels, and further internationalisation.
Finland has taken the decision to test a basic income for unemployed job seekers from the beginning of 2017. The trial will run for two years. The main goal behind the experiment is to see if the mechanism of a basic income (unconditional financial support paid regularly to customers) will increase the incentive for recipients to take up and stay in employment.
Finland has proactively investigated seven allegations of Finnish individuals or companies paying bribes to foreign public officials since 1999 but needs to address its discouragingly high acquittal rate.
The northern sparsely populated areas (NSPA) of Finland, Norway and Sweden are becoming increasingly important to the geopolitical and economic interests of these countries and the European Union. These regions have unique geographical characteristics - low population density and a harsh climate - and face specific challenges due to an ageing population, long distances from markets, and high-cost land transport. However, high productivity growth is possible in low-density regions. This report sets out policy recommendations at cross-border, national and regional scales to enhance prosperity and well-being across the NSPA. This includes closer co-operation with national governments to address shared challenges and opportunities such as improving east-west transport connections and reducing occupational and skills barriers to labour mobility, and addressing barriers to business growth such as access to finance.
This country note presents student performance in science, reading and mathematics, and measures equity in education in Finland. The interactive charts allow you to compare results with other countries participating in the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
This annual publication presents detailed country notes and internationally comparable tax data for all OECD countries from 1965 onwards.
This publication provides detailed country notes on Value Added Tax/Goods and Services Tax (VAT/GST) and excise duty rates in OECD member countries.
Access to more intensive employment services before and after dismissal could help disadvantaged laid-off workers get back into employment, according to a new OECD report.

After reading a lot of reviews and hearing a lot of good things about Nilajana Roy's The Wildings, I decided to give it a shot in the later part of 2013. I was thoroughly impressed with the way the whole book was put together. I believe, The Wildings is one of the books of its own kind that I have read where you actually feel that animals are just like humans that live in their own world. The iconic cats of Nizamuddin left a long lasting impression on me and I was eagerly waiting for its sequel, The Hundred Names Of Darkness to grace my shelf and it did, thanks to the publishers.
While The Wildings was more about cats, specially Mara (the most powerful Sender of Nizamuddin area) and her life, this time it is more about us humans aka Big Feet. Mara has grown up and now knows about her inherited powers. She can communicate with other Senders and also with the bigger members of the cat family. She had to summon Ozzy, the tiger when they have a fight with the feral cats of Nizamuddin. There is a whole new set of characters this time with names like Doginder Singh (the dog), Thomas Mor (the peacock), Kooky (the koel) and a lot more.
Mara chooses to stay indoors instead of stepping out and mixing up with other animals including her own kind. With the encroachment by Big Feet, razing down the old structures and coming up with ugly looking buildings, destroying the nature by cutting down the trees, clogging the drains, covering the water-bodies the inhabitants of Nizamuddin are unhappy, scared and restless and Mara decides to come to their rescue.
There is humour that makes you grin from ear to ear, there is philosophy which makes you feel like you are reading a Paulo Coelho book, you empathise with the characters of the book because of what Big Feet do to their homes and surroundings and while talking about all this, how can I not mention the beautiful illustrations by Prabha Mallya. They add distinctive dimension to the book and bring the story and its characters to life. An absolutely delightful work to say the least.
If you are an avid reader or an animal lover or someone who loves to explore various types of stories and writing, then both the books (The Wildings & The Hundred Names Of Darkness) by Nilanjana Roy should definitely be in your reading list. They are extremely fresh, intelligently written and makes you fall in love with its characters. Give them a shot.

Review for Burnsville Auto Repair
PAUL R. on 03/13/2016
"Most Responsive Customer Service in Town"
When I drove my car to Burnsville Auto Repair on Saturday afternoon to have them assess an issue I was experiencing with my car, I learned that their auto repair schedule was completely filled until the following Monday afternoon. In spite of this, when they realized that the the problem I was experiencing was a safety-related brake issue, they dropped everything and addressed it without hesitation. Thank you, Burnsville Auto Repair, for your responsive and caring customer service!

Production division shooters shot the following (Production div is pretty much "off the shelf" guns, although some minor mods are allowed) That accounts for 94%. The only other brand that I see in semi-regular use by some of the top shooters is Beretta. Production division holsters broke down like this That accounts for 81%. There are so many "boutique" holster makers that list would probably be a mile long if they showed every unique entry. My game holsters are made by TKW.

I came to badges through a few paths. One was a concern about the future of higher learning in the US. Like many other people, I was worried about growing bubble of student debt, billions owed and ever more untenable for our shared future. I wondered for a while whether we needed a national student union that could bargain for better loan terms. Another concern of mine, however, led me to badges, a more twenty-first century solution to these twentieth-century problems.
As I explored the state of university-based education, I stumbled on a bug in the system. Today, fewer faculty are tenured, more working part-time, some even teaching the same courses at multiple colleges or even online. I imagined two students who took the same class with the same instructor, but through two different institutions. These two institutions might even be accredited by the same governing body. While the two students might have learned the same things, the evidence of their shared experience was opaque, locked to a syllabus and transcript from each institution, closed and untransferable without permission, a fee, and a notarized stamp. The students invested their time and money, proved their advancement with tests and portfolios, but still did not own the evidence of their endeavor.
Our complex world enables and requires a lifetime of learning. The phrase "portability of evidence" might be an unsexy mouthful, but the concept is simple and essential. Badges represent this portability and Mozilla's Open Badges makes it possible.
My first concern about the unmanageable cost of higher education can be addressed by Open Badges. Open Badges enables a new approach for the validation of learning. It can work both within traditional education and across a range of alternative spaces. This approach cultivates new forms of assessment, teaching, learning, and most importantly, the use of our learning to create new opportunities.

Tonight she says her husband wants us to cut her property again and asks if the price will be the same as last year. DUH, I don't think so. Last year I was paying $1.54/ gallon for gas and today I paid $2.19/gallon! I told her we could be there on Monday but the price was 10% more than last year and she said "We'll have to think about it". See ya!

This may be a "beginner" type question, but I've searched the forum and spent a couple hours searching online for a solution to this. I like to create tables to place images in on some pages and posts. It just helps to line things up and is way better than using the built-in WordPress image handling, which leaves a lot to be desired.
But for the life of me I cannot seem to create a table that is transparent without borders. I'm assuming it's a function of table layout in the stylesheet, but I've also searched and experimented with changing settings in the CSS file without any luck. I've even tried using HTML tags to accomplish this but without any luck.
Could you tell me if this is something that needs to be changed in the stylesheet or if I can accomplish this with simple HTML on the pages I need it.
Again, sorry for what must be a simple issue. I've built websites for several years now and can typically figure this sort of stuff out. Appreciate your help and your excellent support.

Never mind. I figured it out. I just used TinyMCE Advanced and changed the CSS styles for the table and made the background the same color as the content area (f8f8f8) and the border the same color too…or made it 0.
I must've been writing the code wrong doing it by hand. Looked the same but I was leaving a colon or quote or something out somewhere.

Hi Mchenga,
The only way I know of doing this is using VB to pass the parameter as below:
Report.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue (Command)
Don't know if this is any help but since you hadn't had any replies I thought I would suggest it.
