Topic - Projecting - how far can i go?
OliBangbala - on 29 Apr 2012
SO, im heading out to Spain for 2 weeks at the end of may for my first trip abroad sport climbing, I generally climb at around V4-V5 & 6a+ - 6b mark with my best indoor ascent being 6b+, however i generally prefer bouldering and trad so i havent much experience of sport climbing outside.
I really really want to get a 'trophy' ascent out of this trip and wondered if with enough training and projecting whilst there if it would be unreasonable to aim for a redpoint 7a?? bearing in mind i haven't even touched 6c or 6c+ territory yet..
I don't mind if i have my head in the clouds with this and would actually be very happy with a 6c but i want to have some good aims which will really push me whilst there.
training wise I will probably have 2 nights at the wall and around 4 sessions pumping myself out traversing the local bendcreate boulder plus fingernboarding, running and push/pull ups.
any suggestions regarding training etc would also be much appreciated.

Stefon Diggs is one of the most prized recruits Maryland has landed in years. The All-Met Defensive Player of the Year pleased local fans by announcing two weeks ago his plans to play for his hometown school. Now he's making some noise with a questionable tweet about Jeremy Lin.
Yup, the Terps should be proud to know they have a budding comedian who dabbles in racially offensive areas. How do we know Lin wouldn't prefer his manly region to be called franks and beans instead?
I'm sure Diggs missed the whole Jason Whitlock affair otherwise he would have gone with the generic "get off his nuts" commentary. No doubt he'll be hearing from the Terps' compliance director when he arrives on campus.

Good concept, but the the controls, more specifically the transitions between what player you control make this almost unplayable.
Work that out, and you'll have a decent game.

It's not bad, but the problem are the controls. But it fells awkward using the "L" button to kick, while using the arrow keys to move. It doesn't feel natural, it feels weird. Almost unplayable and unenjoyable this way.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars June 5, 2012
There should be instructions on the controls for the game. The ones automated by the computer can kick the ball to one another very nicely, but I can't kick the ball like that. Or is it supposed to be like that?

Road Test: 2010 BMW X6 M
This 2010 review is representative of model years 2008 to 2014.
By John Phillips of Car and Driver
Bottom Line:
The Verdict: An irrational SUV that begins feeling fairly rational at about 130 mph.
When folks first happen upon BMW's peculiarly proportioned X6, they can't get over its skyscraper butt. Many can't get around it, either. Were you to walk into the X6's liftgate at midnight outside the Sidetrack Tap, the thing would nail you not in the gut but in the Adam's apple. But we're not here to dissect styling. The proposition before us is power. One would have thought that the 400 horses under the hood of the X6 xDrive50i might have been sufficient. BMW's M division didn't think so. And thus we have the X6 M depicted here, which is to the evolution of SUVs sort of what the appendix is to the evolution of Homo sapiens.
To the 4.4-liter V-8, the ever-tinkering Bavarians have added new pistons, cylinder heads formed of the same material used in their diesel engine, a new intake manifold, a crossover exhaust manifold that connects both cylinder banks, a finned aluminum oil pan, altered cam timing, and two new twin-scroll turbos that provide max boost of 17.4 psi, which ought to Chernobyl just about anything made of aluminum. And there are even larger intercoolers in the grille, which look like the air inlets for the Pentagon's backup generator. This particular recipe yields 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque rolling out as early as 1500 rpm. Which should be fun. On the other hand, Frisbee golf is fun. But does anyone take it seriously?
What, exactly, do you do with a vaguely nonsensical 555-horse SUV? Our answer: Subject it to a nonsensical vehicular triathlon.
Triathlon Event No. 1: Drag Racing
Our X6 M was a prototype and wasn't equipped with launch control, which will be standard on production models and will likely improve acceleration times by a couple 10ths. So, before each run, it was necessary to program the X6 M for take-no-prisoners mode. I first had to press the minuscule "M" button on the steering wheel that was programmed to disable most of the stability control, then up popped a menu on the nav screen on which I had to toggle through "Settings," "M Drive," "Power Sport," and "Power Sport" again (because the only alternative is "Efficient," which is not a term anyone would ever use to describe my driving). After all that, of course, I'd worked up quite a sweat, so I had a sip of cool iced tea stored in the center console and calmed my nerves by eating three tasty digestive biscuits.
But, suddenly, as I was still munching, it was my turn at the Christmas tree, where I repeatedly staged too deep and had to back up a couple inches. In the X6 M, this is difficult, especially when a red-faced man in the starting booth is screaming and the competitor in the far lane is overheating the 500-cubic-inch Hemi in his Ford Anglia, an engine he built at the expense of multiple mortgage payments and his wife. To obtain reverse, you have to push a button on the side of this BMW's bizarre shifter (do not even think of touching the top button, which engages park), then make sure the shifter is in the right-side gate, then push forward and release, hoping against hope that these calisthenics will illuminate the orange "R" between the tach and the speedo. This took forever, inciting the red-faced person to utter a very bad word, although I had said the same word a moment prior.
Even without launch control, it was easy to catapult this thing out of the hole: left foot on the brake, right foot flat on the throttle until the final yellow Christmas-tree light glows, then left foot at ease. At which point, oddly, nothing much happens. I mean, there's no explosion, there's no wheelspin, and the turbos take a second or two to spool up completely, after which they pretty much mute the V-8. Plus, my reaction times were legally drunk — like 0.333 to the Anglia guy's 0.163 — but it didn't seem to matter because the first run was 13 seconds flat, at 106 mph, with seat massager and Tormé at full tilt. I should have folded the big side-view mirrors to reduce drag, but it seemed like a lot of work at the time. I might have gone quicker but, just before the tree went green, Tormé coincidentally lit into "More Than Gone," a song that describes both my mind and the X6 M, and I was understandably distracted.
No matter. We'd already obtained the official acceleration figures the night before at the Chrysler proving ground. Here's all you need to know. If the X6 M were pitted against a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, it would humble big bad Mr. Zuffenhausen by 0.1 second to 60 mph and by a like amount through the quarter-mile. Which makes this the quickest production SUV we've ever tested, a somewhat strange boast, like claiming to be the best poetry-writing drywaller in Alabama. Also, damned if the launch didn't spill my iced tea.
Olympic judges' vote: Gold medal
Triathlon Event No. 2: Off-Roading
I don't want to get into a lot of ugly details here, except to note that 40- and 35-series Bridgestones designed essentially for maximum g's did not acquit themselves admirably in a soft alfalfa field belonging to our farmer/video editor, Tom Adams. And they proved even more disappointing after I drove down the steep bank of a stream and directly into a thicket of thorn bushes that arrested all further motion.
Adams seemed a little testy about this but snatched me out with his Dodge Power Wagon, whose bed right then held three bales of hay and two retired laying hens who had an upcoming date with a stew pot. Both were approximately as short-tempered as Adams.
Alas, what we have here is that rare occasion when 555 horses don't mean bupkis unless they're grazing in a corral on Adams's farm. No harm done, apart from one chicken who might really benefit from psychiatric treatment.
Olympic judges' vote: Disqualified.
Triathlon Event No. 3: Road Racing
So it was off to GingerMan Raceway, near South Haven, Michigan, where we met up with Formula Mazda superstar Juan Marchand, 35, who had just won the SCCA June Sprints (having started at the back of the field) and who had just set a track record at Nelson Ledges and who had also just won at GingerMan after again starting dead last, which apparently is his trademark. Marchand, in his 1170-pound, 205-hp racer squared off against us, in our 5254-pound, 555-hp car. Well, "car" isn't the right word. BMW calls the X6 M a "sports activity coupe," which is odd because it has four doors — plus a hatch — and who would want to nickname anything a SAC? On the track, I kept losing sight of Marchand and was fearful of squashing him. About all you can see out of the X6 M's towering tail is a six-inch glimpse of frothy jet contrails. Fortunately, Marchand wasn't behind me for long. His little open-wheeler can lap GingerMan in 1 minute and 22 seconds, 18 seconds quicker than the X6 M.
Which is not to say the BMW was dawdling. It sure as hell was not. At GingerMan, it felt like a 66-inch-tall Corvette: absolutely no body roll — none. A ride bordering on harsh. Heavy but accurate steering. M-specific composite brakes that were not only fadeless but sufficiently powerful to fling me gravity-free into the shoulder belt. And straight-line thrust that had me ignoring the tach in favor of the speedometer and fuel gauge. Plus, there's that torque-vectoring rear differential, which probably was doing something really important, but when you're holding the X6 M in a four-wheel drift for about three seconds at maybe 80 mph in the second-to-last turn at GingerMan, multiplate clutch packs and ball-ramp assemblies aren't really front-of-mind fodder.
Track owner Dan Schnitta pointed out that the X6 M's lap time would have earned it a pole position in a Spec Miata race. Okay, okay. A boast like, "My monster BMW beats your Miata" is like saying, "My son's meth lab makes more money than your daughter's Girl Scout cookies." All we know is that a driftable 2.5-ton SUV is, well, surprising, but if that's what you want, BMW can supply it. For $89,725.
Here's another very cool thing about the X6 M: It can tow up to 6000 pounds. Which means you could use this SUV to tow your race car to GingerMan, unhook the trailer, then race your tow vehicle.
Olympic judges' vote: Gold medal.
Final triathlon tally: two gold medals and one total ass-kicking. We can live with that.

How To Fix a Running Toilet:
Common Causes & Easy DIY Fixes
Life is all about the details, but sometimes, those details aren't pleasant. If your toilet is running, you're potentially wasting gallons of water a day. But don't despair! Most often, it's just a simple fix, no tools — or plumber — required.
The first thing to understand is that toilets work on gravity. When you push down the lever it lifts up a rubber flapper, allowing water to run out of the tank and into the bowl. Once the water in the tank runs out, the flapper closes and allows the tank to fill again. The tank water then slowly rises until a float closes the intake.
To figure out which part of the toilet is leaking, take off the tank lid and identify your parts:
A: Toilet flush lever
B: Rubber flapper blocking the tank water from descending into the bowl. It is connected to the toilet flush lever above.
C: Pump which refills the tank after it empties.
D: Float which raises and lowers with the water level to tell the pump when to go and stop.
E: Overflow tube, what sets the high water level in the tank.
Note: the water in the tank is clean (unused); it's perfectly fine to stick your hands in the tank to pull out or adjust parts. Like any home repair, wash them when you're done.
Before you do anything else, it's a good idea to turn off the water connecting to the toilet. This is easily accomplished by tightening the silver knob on the wall behind the toilet.
Common Cause #1: Problems with the Chain
Check the connection between the flush lever and the rubber flapper it's attached to. Jiggle the flush lever and watch the chain between it and the flapper. The chain is too short if it constantly pulls on the flapper even when the flush lever is at rest. If it's too long it might interfere with the flapper closing.
If there's extra length on the chain it's simple to move the clip down. Otherwise, just replace the chain with any aluminum ball chain or other small chain that's longer in length.
Tip: Some chains have floats attached (like the one above from Amazon). If there is a float on the flapper chain, make sure it's loosely floating on the surface or else it also may be pulling up on the flapper. If so, either move the float up on the chain or remove it.
Common Cause #2: Broken, Dirty or Warped Flapper
Over time, the flapper can warp or break at the hinge, and start to leak. To check on the flapper, first flush the toilet to drain the water out of the tank. Unhook the flapper from the base of the tank and pull it to the surface in order to get a closer look.
Turn the flapper over and look for any discoloration (which could be a sign the flapper is warped and needs to be replaced), mineral deposits, warping, or any breaks in the plastic or rubber.
First try cleaning off any buildup that might prevent the flapper from closing properly. Or, if you see a problem with the actual flapper, they are cheap and easy to replace. To switch it out, simply disconnect the old one from the chain and attach the new one. Then hook the new flapper back over the drain.
Tip: When buying a new flapper, make sure you get one that attaches to the chain on the thick center part, not the thin outer lip (where it's more likely to warp).
Common Cause #3: Float Position
When a toilet is flushed, the tank should stop filling when the water is just below the overflow pipe. If it goes over and the tank is still filling, then the float for the pump is too high. Test this by flushing the toilet a few times, and noting where the water stops.
The simplest fix is to bend the rod connecting the float to the pump so the float is lower and it will signal the pump to turn off sooner. If the arm won't bend, then it might be time to call in the tools...and the plumber.
So, next time you hear the sound of a leaky toilet, get in there, poke around, and see if you can identify the most likely problem. Chances are good you can figure it out, make the easy fix, and save money on a plumber!

Thanks very much for this. We're moving into a new apartment and the former tenant told us that the toilet just started running sometimes for no reason. I'm going to take a look tonight and see if there's anything I can fix!
Details/source for the cute toilet paper holder in the first picture?
I have this problem, been living with it for a year now (ew has it really been that long?...) I know that jiggling the handle fixes whatever it is, but maybe now I can permanently fix it. Thank you!!
Please don't use chlorine based continuous cleaning tablets in the tank!
They degrade the rubber seals used as gaskets, causing leaks between the tank and bowl and the fill valve and tank. Both are a pain to repair, especially the former as the waterline must be disconnected and the tank removed from the bowl.
Cleaners that sit in the bowl.are.okay to use.
Good post . . . now have to figure out WHICH problem my guest toilet has! Printed it off with pictures so hopefully, I can fix the problem.
We've had a different problem - a toilet flushing itself when no one is nearby. It's rather creepy when you are alone in the house. We finally had to have a plumber fix it, because nothing we tried worked. I think it was about something needing to be leveled.
Anyone have tips for a tankless toilet that is continuously running? (It's a toilet like the kinds you find in public bathrooms. And it's not "flushing" - it's sorta like the sound a toilet makes when it's refilling after flushing, just constantly.) I've been living with it for a few months because I haven't been home on the weekend for my super to come over to fix it. Is it something I can do or do I need to bite the bullet, clear my schedule and call him?
i am SO glad that you posted this - we all need to conserve water. I just had a neighbor who had two toilets running constantly - absolutely clueless as to the cause - I did a quick analysis to resolve.
This part of plumbing is super easy to resolve! Go low flow!
A water conservationist told a group I was with that if you need a new flapper, make sure to buy one that is made by the brand of your toilet! He advised to avoid cheaper generic flappers to avoid an imperfect seal. While I haven't changed a flapper myself, his suggestion made sense!! Just my two cents.
Some newer toilets come with an enclosed unit that goes in the tank. Knew how to fix the old kind. The Super will deal with this.
The toilet paper holder is a little antique shelf I found at the flea market in Hadley, MA. It's really too small to hold anything else so it was nice to find it a purpose.
I have never had to fix a running toilet before. I just moved into a new apartment and my toilet has been running. I am glad I can find posts like this that help me repair it myself, particularly with pictures that are labeled. Thanks for the help. http://www.bowmanheating.com
It seems to me that problems like these would be too risky to fix on your own. One summer, my husband tried to fix a plumbing problem and made it a lot worse because he had no idea what he was doing. Since then, we have always called a company to help us out. http://www.eddiebplumbing.com/cinnaminson-nj-residential-plumbing.htm

During a seminar, a woman asked," How do I know if I am with the right person?"
The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?"
In all seriousness, she answered "How did you know?"
"Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind." replied the author.
Here's the answer:
Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.
People in love sometimes say, I was swept of my feet. Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.
Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.
Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.
The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.
People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.
Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later.
Because (listen carefully to this)
The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the Person you found.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.
Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.
Love is therefore a "decision". Not just a feeling.
Remember this always: the universe determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go!

Lubbock, TX (KCBD) - Starting April 1st, the average Lubbock resident's water base rate will increase from $8 to $18. This may come as good news, considering the council reduced the original increase.
"We have to have the water, we have to be able to pay for it and we've got to go forward and do it right," said Lubbock Mayor Tom Martin.
At Monday's special city council meeting in a 6-1 vote, with Linda DeLeon voting against, the water rate increase is a go. "Those on the fixed income are going to save $4.60 on this plan from what it would have been Thursday had it been approved so we were able to shave off a little there," said Lubbock City Councilman John Leonard.
It's a little off of the original proposal, but still a big jump from your current base rate. Your meter rate decides your increase. Those with a three-quarter inch meter have a current base rate of $8.89 but that will jump to $18.00 and so forth.
"The truth of the matter is that people who have an average size house and don't over water their yards should be in fairly decent shape. The rates are higher, but it's certainly not back breaking," said Martin.
In addition to the base charge, there will also be an increase on usage rates. Low volume users in Block 1 will see a 10% increase and high volume users in Blocks 2 and 3 will see a 41% increase.
Despite an almost unanimous vote agreement, that doesn't necessarily mean the council is pleased with the decision. "Frankly we are in the middle of a budget cycle for most businesses; they didn't budget for this increase. And it's also a shock for our residential customers so we wanted to minimize that impact. We were not able to get there this is a compromise agreement. I'm not happy with it, I'm still angered that we were put in this position but we made lemonade out of lemons in this case," said Leonard.
But all council members agree this can't happen again. "I have been really genuinely concerned over this issue it has made my hair turn gray and it's made Councilman Floyd's fall out. But I'm delighted that it appears that we are on the verge of some kind of consensus here to provide water for the people at the lowest possible price that we could possibly do it," said Lubbock City Councilman Paul Beane.
"On the dais today (Monday) and behind closed doors we have put in some measures that something like this won't happen again," said Leonard.
Councilman Todd Klein came up with a water rate affordability program to help those who can't afford this increase. To qualify you must make $22,000 a year or less and at least one household resident must be 65 years or older, mentally or physically disabled, or you must have at least one child under the age of 18.
For more information, Lubbock residents can call 311.

Worried about fading brain power? If you're older than 27, you have good reason. That's the age when cognitive skills start to decline, according to new University of Virginia research. But while some changes in thinking and memory are inevitable as we age, the good news is that lifestyle seems to be able to blunt those effects — and keep many minds working sharply well into old age.
That's reassuring, given headlines from the Alzheimer's Association's new annual report showing that every 70 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer's (the most common form of dementia).
Debilitating memory loss doesn't happen to everyone, though. Learn what you can do to preserve yours.
1. Take the stairs
Exercise benefits your head as much as the rest of your body, a growing number of studies indicate. Overall cardiorespiratory fitness also lowers the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems — all known risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. Theories on why that's so range from improved blood flow to the brain to less brain shrinkage.
Experts recommend making regular aerobic workouts part of your routine. Failing that, it appears that even small efforts add up. So avoid elevators. Park at the far end of the parking lot. Start by walking around your block in the
evenings, and add a few minutes more each day.
2. Change your wallpaper
When doing routine things, the brain runs on autopilot. Novelty, on the other hand, literally fires up the brain as new data creates and works new neural pathways.
So shake up what you see and do every day: If your computer screen background is "invisible" to you, run a program that mixes it up every day or every hour. Take a different route home from work. Brush your teeth with your nondominant hand. Buy, borrow, or download a book that makes you think about new ideas.
3. Steal some zzz's by daylight
It's while you're sleeping that your brain sorts, consolidates, and stores memories accumulated during the day — that's why eight hours at night is so valuable. But a mere six-minute nap is as valuable as a full night's sleep to short-term recall, according to German research. And a 90-minute nap has been shown to speed up the process that helps the brain consolidate long-term memories.
4. Take a mental "photograph"
Memories aren't just stored in one spot in the brain; bits of data are processed and stored in different areas. To help make the memory of an incident last, take a "snapshot" of it while you're in the moment, using all your senses. Look around and think about what you see. Notice colors and textures. What do you smell? If you're eating or drinking (or kissing), what's the taste?
This "mental camera" trick can help you hang onto a happy memory longer. But it can also help you remember where you parked your car.
5. Eat less
After only 12 weeks, healthy volunteers (average age 60) who reduced their daily calories by 30 percent scored 20 percent better on memory tests, University of Munster (Germany) researchers reported in January. The possible reason: decreased levels of insulin, created when the body processes food, and of the inflammation-associated molecule C-reactive protein. Both factors are linked to improved memory function.
The people in the study were cautioned not to consume fewer than 1,200 calories a day. If cutting back on your diet by nearly a third seems too daunting, focus on eating less fat, meat, and dairy products. Earlier this year, Columbia University Medical Center researchers reported that in a long-term study of more than 1,300 participants, those with the highest adherence to a Mediterranean diet — rich in vegetables, legumes, fish, and monounsaturated oils (like olive oil) but low in fat, beef, and dairy — had the lowest risk of developing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.
6. Try a "brain-training" game — or join a "brain gym"
The science is promising, if not conclusive, as to whether so-called brain-fitness software can actually improve memory. A study in the April 2009 Journal of the American Geriatric Society shows that people over 65 who used a computerized cognitive training program for an hour a day, over a period of eight weeks, improved memory and attention more than a control group.
7. Spend some time online
Neuroscientist Gary Small, director of the UCLA Memory & Aging Center and author of iBrain, says searching the Web is a bit like using a brain-training course. His researchers used MRI to measure brain activity in Web users ages 55 to 76; the net-savvy users showed twice as much brain activity, especially regarding decision making.
8. Stop and sip a cuppa
Green and black teas have a protective effect on memory, possibly by influencing enzymes in the brain. The caffeine sparks concentration, too. And people who drink moderate amounts of coffee at midlife — as many as three to five cups — have lower odds of developing dementia in late life, Finnish and French researchers say.
Another benefit: Taking a coffee or tea break in your day (or three times a day) is a good opportunity for destressing.
9. See a doctor if you feel depressed
Maybe it's "just a mood." But untreated depression is common and can impair memory. Talk therapy and/or antidepressant medication can resolve the problem. Two red flags worth mentioning to a physician: a loss of interest in things that once gave you pleasure and a persistent sense of hopelessness.
People at higher risk for depression include caregivers of older people and those who have a family history of depression.
10. Take the "multi" out of your tasking
Especially when they're trying to learn something new, people remember less well later if they were multitasking while learning, UCLA researchers have shown. If, for example, you're studying while listening to the radio, your memory recall may be dependent on the music to help you later retrieve the information during the test — except, of course, that you can't usually replicate the same circumstances (like music during a test).
Try to learn something new — reading a contract or directions, copying a skill — when you can give it your full concentration. Cut out distractions like the TV in the background or pausing every few seconds when you hear the "ding" of your e-mail or text-message inbox.
11. Keep your blood sugar under control
If you're diabetes-free, work to maintain a normal weight and follow a balanced diet to reduce your odds of developing the disease. If you're a type 2 diabetic already, follow medical advice for managing blood sugar levels.
New research shows that brain functioning subtly slows as diabetics' blood sugar rises and the blood vessels that supply the brain are damaged. This process begins well before memory problems become obvious, or even before there's a diabetes diagnosis.
12. Waggle your eyes back and forth
To help you remember something important, scan your eyes from side to side for 30 seconds. This little exercise helps unite the two hemispheres of the brain, say researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. When the two hemispheres communicate well, you're better able to retrieve certain types of memories.
13. Eat your green vegetables
There's no such thing as an "anti-Alzheimer's diet." But people who are deficient in folate and vitamin B12 have an increased risk of developing dementia. (The research is iffy, in comparison, on the benefits of taking so-called memory enhancers: vitamin C supplements, ginkgo biloba, and vitamin E.)
Great vegetable sources of folate include romaine lettuce, spinach, asparagus, turnip greens, mustard greens, parsley, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, and beets. For you vegetable haters, the nutrient is also abundant in lentils, calf's liver, pinto beans, and black beans.
14. Don't ignore sleep apnea
People with sleep apnea — a condition involving blocked airways that causes people to briefly stop breathing during sleep — show declines in brain tissue that stores memory, researchers at UCLA reported last year.
More than 12 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea. If your doctor has suggested you have the condition, be vigilant about trying treatment, which can include wearing oral appliances and "masks," losing weight, and surgery.
15. Learn something new that's a real departure for you
If you're a sudoku fan, you might think a good way to stretch your mind would be to take up a different Japanese numbers game, like kenken or kakuro. But an even better strategy for a nimble brain is to pursue a new kind of activity using skills far different from those you're accustomed to using.
If you ordinarily like numbers, try learning a language. If you're an ace gardener, try painting flowers instead.
16. Quit smoking
The relationship between smoking and Alzheimer's disease is hazy. But smokers do develop the disease six to seven years earlier than nonsmokers. In case you were looking for another good reason to quit.
17. Eat some chocolate!
Every year some study extols the virtue of dark chocolate, and the effects of this wonder-food (or, at least, wonderful food) on memory have not gone ignored by researchers. In 2007, a Journal of Neuroscience study reported on the memory-boosting effects in rats of a plant compound called epicatechin, possibly because it fueled blood vessel growth.
In addition to cocoa, epicatechin is found in blueberries, grapes, and tea.
18. Put everything in its place
While novelty is like growth hormone to the brain, your memory needs a certain amount of familiarity to keep your life functioning smoothly. Place your keys and glasses in the same place all the time. Write notes to yourself as reminders (the very act of writing will help your recall). If you want to remember your umbrella tomorrow morning, place it right at the door, so you won't miss it.
19. Don't retire
Good news for those who can no longer afford to quit: Provided you like your work, you're helping your brain by sticking with it as long as you can. A satisfying work life offers social stimulation and decision-making opportunities — and exercises problem-solving skills.
Next best: Volunteering, such as at a school or museum, where your training involves learning new material and the task involves interacting with others.
20. Throw a party
Being around other people lowers one's risk of developing dementia. The catch: They should be people you enjoy who make you feel engaged and stimulated. People who are physically isolated (not around people) or emotionally isolated (around people but feeling lonely nevertheless) are at higher risk for depression.
Just go easy on the alcohol at those parties. Studies on its effect on memory are mixed. Long-term, excessive drinking is clearly linked with dementia. Binge drinking also impairs short-term memory. On the other hand, for people who drink moderately (one drink a day), alcohol may have a protective effect. One study found that in people with mild cognitive impairment (mild memory loss that doesn't necessarily advance to dementia), those who drink less than one drink a day progressed to dementia at a rate 85 percent slower than teetotalers who didn't drink at all.

I'd like to add that it's never too soon to start brain training. It's easy to consign the idea of brain training to the "something I don't need to worry about yet" category. In fact, at any stage of life we can benefit from a program designed to improve our core cognitive skills. Students can boost their test scores and perform better academically. Those in a career can use brain training as part of a career enhancement plan. And yes, as we age, we can turn back the adverse effects on the brain.
My company has a program that trains working memory as a way to increase fluid intelligence. This training program uses a protocol designed and proven by academics under stringent research conditions, and the results of following the program are remarkable.

@ jimbobfredsamuel
I actually don't think tirion is a mary sue. Blizzard purposefully made many paladins have seemingly perfect attributes, etc. As each "Mary sue" of a paladin is explained by lore and fit into the story the way they are, they are not Mary sues.
Like was said in the article, if the characters are part of the world, they are not Mary sues. This is why tirion is not a mary sue, and yet, like people said earlier in the comments, Bella in the twilight series is - she is put by the author into our world, in Which those attributes are impossible.
If you want a good understanding of how paladins such as bolvar and tirion can be so selfless, read the wow insider lore article on the light.
Hope I provide some new insight! :)

Radwanska finished at #4, the highest year end ranking for her so far, same happened to Kerber and Errani who finished #5 and #6 respectively. (New career high ranking for both of them.)
But the YEC final results will still go a long way to affect 2013 rankings.

PARIS - NBA star Tony Parker may miss the London Olympics after almost losing his eye in a fight involving singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake's entourage.
Parker's cornea was scratched in the fight, and the San Antonio Spurs guard has revealed he had to have an operation to remove a shard that had "penetrated 99 per cent" of his left eye.
Parker says "I almost lost my eye." He did not join the rest of France's team last Wednesday and will see a specialist in New York when he is cleared to take long-haul flights after July 5.
"I'm seeing a specialist in New York with the hope of being given the all clear to play in the Olympic Games," Parker said. "Spurs are very worried.
"Anything can happen, including me being out of the Olympics. The decision doesn't belong to me anymore. It's in the hands of the doctor and San Antonio."
Parker said he has been having hallucinations and been unable to leave his hotel room for eight days because of the risk of infection. He also has to apply five different products into his eye every two hours.
"Fear sets in," Parker said of being told he would have to undergo surgery. "An eye is so fragile ... I couldn't believe it. But that's life, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I didn't have luck, but I came out well from my misfortune. It could have been worse. The rest of my career is not in question. I just have to wait for the injury to heal itself."
Despite being unable to play, Parker will spend the rest of his time in France with the French squad in Pau.
France's first game at the Olympics is against the United States on July 29.
Chris Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among eight injured during the fight inside the W.i.P club in SoHo on June 15. Police say members of Drake's entourage stopped Brown as he was leaving. The fight escalated and bottles were thrown.
Parker is suing the New York City club for $20 million.

A Jonesboro, Louisiana woman has died in a one-car wreck in Red River Parish.
State Police Tpr. Albert Paxton says troopers were called to the scene at 7 a.m. Tuesday, where the 51-year-old Reda Bullock's 2004 Chevy Malibu was found overturned in a ditch along Highway 784 near Coushatta.
It's not known when the accident happened. Investigators on the scene believe Bullock was heading east on Hwy 784 just west of Hwy 507 when she went off the right side of the road, over-corrected, and then went off the left side of the road. At that point, the car went into a ditch and struck a tree.
Bullock, who police say was not wearing a seatbelt, was partially thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene. State police are investigating the cause of the wreck, but they say they do not believe alcohol was involved.

Honestly, the best thing they can do is keep rolling out the expansions and milk the heck out of this thing!
I'd be pretty happy with 10 million people paying me 14.99 a month(roughly.)
I mean...that's only 150,000,000....every....month...
And I'm sure that figure is a little high.
Yes they make a ton of money off of the game, but how much do you think they pay each month out of that money for the games bandwidth, server maintenance, and employees who continue to work on new content and fix/balance current content? Yes they still make a healthy profit, but they also shell out quite a bit each month to ensure that those 10+ million subscribers have a smooth and reliable experience.
Of course they do, there will always be overhead. Remember this is Blizzard though. They've had more then a few hit titles which has most likely landed them a few good connections in the world. There is no way of us knowing what they have to account for each month or year, but I'm betting it's no where near the roughly 2 billion dollars they pull in each year from subscriptions alone. That's not even accounting for merchandise or other misc income.
Barely a third of that number pay 15 dollars a month, Blizzard has already said a big if not half of the player population is from Asia who can use prepaid time cards that count down on a credit system
I wish we had something like that in the US but that would kill profits since a large portion of the wow community does not play a lot.
Well, those in china pay like 0.06 $ per hour for WoW, and they only pay for the time they actually play. And since those are a big slice of the 10 million playerbase, the actual income is way lower for Blizzard.
Nevertheless, there's still a 40% profit from WoW (at least that's the figure I remember...)

Pretty bras are a luxury. They're not the kind of thing that you just run out and pick up every few months like you would a t-shirt or a pair of socks. And if you do, I'm venturing to guess that, unless you're Victoria Beckham, they're from Target or Walmart or somewhere else super un-sexy. So when you finally buy a bra -- hell, be it once a year -- you want it to last. You want it stay fresh and lacy and un-crapped up (and white if that's the color!). But how do you do that?
Funny you should ask ...
Wash them in the sink. I know, you know. But do it. Seriously, it isn't as annoying as it seems. Buy a bottle of Woolite and stow it under your bathroom sink instead of in the laundry room. Once a week, throw your bras in the sink and give them a good soak. (No, you should not put them in a lingerie sack and throw them in the washing machine.) Lay flat to dry, please.
Buy two. Not necessarily easy when you're buying a fancy bra, but if you're going for something less pricey, I say stock up (and that doesn't just go for bras). If you know you're going to wear something basically every day, be prepared for a time when you're going to have to part with it. That parting won't be such sweet sorrow if you know you've got another waiting in the wings.
Store them properly. If you're like me, you probably just shove your bras (and underwear and socks) into a drawer, not bothering to fold them. Don't do that. Designate a special place for your bras -- a place that's not crowded and won't cause underwires to bend. Or better yet, get a clothes rack made for bras. And don't ever invert bra cups into one another!
Keep your white bras white. Here's something annoying: White bras looking dirty after a few weeks of owning them. Hey, it would happen with anything white that you wore daily. There's a way to keep them clean, though: Vinegar. Toss your bras into your sink and fill with cold water. Add some white distilled vinegar and let soak for 20 minutes. Rinse well (very well) afterwards.
Heavy rotation. Look, we all have our favorite bras. "Some" of us may even wear them every damn day. But really, that's not the best way to extend the life of your bra. Make sure you have a few in your rotation -- even though you know which one you're going to wear most.
How do you care for your bras?
Image via The Lingerie Addict/Flickr
Huh - I store mine by inverting one cup into the other, folding the straps into the cups and then put them vertically into my drawer, wire side up, nesting into one another. Works okay for me.
Woollite isn't the best soap to wash your bras in, either. Try some of the no rise washes like Eucalen or Soak or other delicate wash rinses sold in lingerie departments. Fine lingerie should not be viewed as a luxury but an essential to your wardrobe. It is the foundation for all the beautiful and more expensive items in your wardrobe. Enjoy it!

Tea drinkers may have better breath than those who don't drink tea, according to researchers at the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois. Both black and green teas contain polyphenols, which can reduce or eliminate bacteria that cause bad breath. Adding sugar to tea, however, can reduce the tea's effectiveness, because sugar encourages the bacteria to grow.

Great gift for a child, This is a lovely gift for a small child, we bought it as a thankyou for our flower girls and they were delighted with them. Hopefully it will protect them too! 17 February 2012
kids st.christopher When searching for a childs st.christopher, the kids one looked much larger than it actually was, returned it to local Ernst Jones. where I exchanged it for the next size which was much more suitable.the kids one is much more suited to go on a watch like they did years ago.the shop was very helpful, although I bought it originally from the internet. 13 January 2012
