On xbmc.org everything else is for free, and you can donate if you want to, but TeamBlackbolts work is not for free... I really think that TeamXBMC should ban TeamBlackbolt from these forums.
If TeamBlackbolt should get paid for letting me use their skin, I think that TeamBlackbolt should donate just as much to TeamXBMC. Because TeamBlackbolt would have nothing, if it wasn't for TeamXBMC.
Hello butchjr, if that is your real name. I appreciate your points but you fail to recognize one major point. We aren't charging for any of our skins, I won't explain why again, go read my previous posts.
What I will say is it's upto Team XBMC if they are unhappy with us using this forum, they can ask us to leave, thats upto them. You do realise that Ellipsis is going to be made public a few weeks after the beta testing starts right? And it will be free and we will never charge a penny for it. If you can't wait for us to complete testing, then thats your problem, not ours.
I will also state that the hundreds and hundreds of precious hours of time both myself and equinox have poured into this skin, for practically every single day for the past year, we will never get that back. What we do have however in return is what we feel is an amazing interface to play with. If you think we're getting paid for making skins, you're sadly wrong.
It's funny how no-one has asked us what we're actually doing with the donations we get. But I'll tell you anyway. We're paying for hosting, domain, etc, etc so we can make sure we can always bring you our skins, so you have a place to download and chat. To talk to us about bugs etc and help us make better skins. Once all this donations crap blows over when Ellipsis is released, you may realize how petty it is to give us so much crap over such a minor point.
Does everyone else have the same mentality as butchjr? Is it even worth us making skins anymore? Because it seems to me that a lot of people these days is ungrateful, unreasonable and downright rude.

Understanding hESC-based Hematopoiesis for Therapeutic Benefit
Understanding hESC-based Hematopoiesis for Therapeutic Benefit
Funding Type:
Comprehensive Grant
Grant Number:
Funds Committed:
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
Public Abstract:
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the treatment of choice for many hematologic malignancies, and it is used to treat an expanding number of congenital blood disorders. However, only ~30% of patients who can benefit from this treatment have a matched sibling that can serve as the ideal donor. While the national marrow donor program and umbilical cord blood programs provide unrelated donor cells to many patients lacking a sibling donor, a large percentage of patients remain without a suitable donor, leaving them with suboptimal therapeutic options. This problem is more severe in certain ethnic populations, including people of Latino and Asian descent, groups that constitute a large part of California's population. New sources of therapeutic hematopoietic stem cells are therefore needed.
Human embryonic stem cells, with their unlimited self-renewal capacity and their ability to generate all human cell types, provide a novel and exciting opportunity to obtain hematopoietic stem cells, thereby filling a critical therapeutic void. However, many hurdles remain before this vision can be realized, including the identification of more optimal human embryonic stem cell lines and better methods to direct the development of specific cell types from embryonic stem cells.
This proposal seeks to shed new insight into how we might better control and direct the development of human embryonic stem cells into therapeutically useful hematopoietic stem cells that can be used for transplantation. Our effort focuses on understanding how a specific class of small RNAs, called microRNAs, regulates the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into specific cell types. We aim to uncover the identity of microRNAs that are important for this process, which will serve as useful biomarkers, or guides, for evaluating the therapeutic suitability of existing and newly derived human embryonic stem cell lines. In addition, we will develop techniques and reagents to modulate the expression of these critical small molecules to help direct human embryonic stem cell development for clinical therapeutic utility.
Statement of Benefit to California:
This proposal seeks to understand how small RNA molecules help direct the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into specific cell types suitable for therapeutic use. Our focus is the development of hematopoietic stem cells for the treatment of blood disorders. Benefits to the State of California include:
A new source of hematopoietic stem cells for patients who lack a matched donor. Some ethnic groups, such as people of Latino and Asian descent, are more likely to lack a donor, so those groups may benefit the most.
Hematopoietic stem cells have been shown to have the potential to participate in the repair of a wide range of tissues, including heart tissue, so human embryonic stem cell-generated hematopoietic cells may be useful in treating disorders outside of the blood system per se.
We will develop databases and technologies that could have wide-ranging use in the human stem cell field. To the extent that these can be commercialized, the work could be of financial benefit to California.
The kind of work proposed could attract additional economic interests to the state of California because our methods and reagents could be used by California businesses aimed at treating those afflicted with blood disease.
This work will provide new jobs for the University of California, San Francisco, and hopefully spawn additional research in the California academic and private sectors.
The proposed research is cutting-edge, and successful accomplishment of our goals would help put California at the forefront of human embryonic stem cell research, rewarding Californians for their support of proposition-71, and inspiring others to support human embryonic stem cell research.
Progress Report:
Year 1
We continue to focus on understanding the role of microRNAs in the development of hematopoietic stem cells from human embryonic stem cells. Progress is slow, but present. We now understand that cells we expected to have hematopoietic stem cell potential appear to have a greater potential for becoming cells that line the blood vessels (endothelial cells). We are now trying to comb through our microRNA data to see if it can inform us as to how to push such cells more towards hematopoietic stem cells. We do know that these two cell types are very closely linked during mammalian development. We are also investigating new ways to develop cells from embryonic stem cells to help our chance of finding/developing the elusive hematopoietic stem cell.Year 2
Our focus in this proposal was to understand the role of miRNAs in the development of hematopoietic stem cells from human embryonic stem cells. Our work, and that of other over the past few years has demonstrated how difficult it is to generate hematopoietic stem cells from human embryonic stem cells. In fact, to date, nobody in the world has achieved that goal. However, along the way, we have come to realize that our system can help us identify and understand miRNAs involved in the critical developmental 'fork in the road' that leads to hematopoietic vs. cells that line blood vessels (endothelial cells). We worked in 2010-2011 to identify those miRNAs. Because of the difficulty in generating hematopoietic stem cells from human embryonic stem cells, we stepped back and worked to established better reagents for understanding hematopoietic stem cell development from human embryonic stem cells. To that end, we have used homologous recombination to directly insert a reporter gene into the genome of a human embryonic stem cell. We have been characterizing this cell line, and we hope that it will help advance the field of hematopoietic stem cell development from human embryonic stem cells, both to serve our needs and those of other embryonic stem cell researchers. Using similar sophisticated techniques, we have removed (targeted) from human embryonic stem cells a critical gene required for blood development to provide yet another tool to help us understand this process. We hope that these new reagents will further our understanding of hematopoietic development.Publications

The Florida Department of Transportation's Gulf of Mexico Drive paving contractor, Ajax Paving Industries Inc., will be placing a coat of permanent striping, called thermal striping, on the Manatee County portion of the road Wednesday, June 17.
The contractor received permission from the town to perform the work during the evening hours Wednesday, June 17 and, if needed, Thursday, June 18.
Project public information officer Darren Alfonso said the noise from the two trucks doing the striping will not be excessive. No lane closures will be performed while the company completes the last phase of the paving project.

Bloodred Hell
Bzzzzzz…goes the buzzsaw. It's a great sound for tools and an even greater sound for metal. With that said, it's safe to assume that you're in store for a dose of fine Swedish death metal. I've always enjoyed the old Swedish sound best out of all the various styles of real death metal, and this album reminds me why. Facebreaker brings to mind Bloodbath, both in their approach and the fresh, yet throwback production on the album. Bloodred Hell pays tribute to the greats, such as Grave and early Entombed, without sounding dated at all.
Robert Karlsson (ex-Edge of Sanity grunts and growls his way through eleven tracks of thrashy death violence, atop a mountain of biting riffs and a rumbling, tight rhythm section. On the whole, this is pretty much textbook Swedish death. "The Demon" starts things off in blazing fashion. The riffs are fast, yet thick as molasses, the drumwork is spot-on, and the backing vocals are simply vile (in a good way). "Human Spoil" takes the classic approach by beginning with a nice guttural groan. Once the riffs kick in, it comes off as what Testament would sound like if they moved to Stockholm. "Command of the Dark" charges forward at unrelenting speeds, propelled by the fast feet of Micke. The title track tries to pull one over on you by starting off nice and slow, like a Machine Head song, but don't be fooled, by the 45-second mark, dissonant death metal riffage drags you back down into the depths. "Crushed" is just pure death/thrash heft, like how Blood Red Throne would sound if they were ever in a good mood. The last really memorable track is "Bringer of Death", which is a bit thrashier, and belies the slightest amount of old-school hardcore influence.
I could basically have just posted the first paragraph and you'd know what to expect. Facebreaker continues to show that a decade later, Swedes still play the best Swedish death. The sonic energy and malevolence that spew forth from this album more than compensate for its lack of originality. Bloodred Hell is damn good. Less reading, more buying.

Love these. This particular wash seems to run slightly larger than the other colors I own in this style. For reference, I'm 5'3", 110 lbs, size 2/26. I purchased these in a 26 and while they fit, they are a bit loose around the waist. I kept them although I think I probably could have gone with a 25 as well. The denim is soft and comfortable.

SYRACUSE (AP) -- A veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will be the next commander of the New York Army National Guard's Syracuse-based 27th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
National Guard officials say Lt. Col. Joseph Biehler has been selected to replace Col. Geoffrey Slack, who led the brigade during deployments to the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan the past two years.
Biehler, currently commander of the brigade's 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry, will be promoted to colonel in his new position. He's a 25-year veteran of the National Guard who has led troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Biehler is a Rochester native who lives in the suburb of Webster with his wife and twin sons. In civilian life, he's a manager for the Harris Corp. in Rochester.

The government today announced that it's changing the flag to a CONDOM, because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation,halts production,destroys the next generation,protects a bunch of dicks,and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed. It just doesn't get more accurate than that!!!
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!"
His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly," It stands for *'Basic
Information Before Leaving Earth*.'
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country.
"Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten Commandments!!" answered the lady.
"Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say,
"Good Lord, it's morning."
A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.
Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."
A teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?"
A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy.
"Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked.
"You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "
A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
"Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip."
The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."
People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.
The parish priest was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute.
The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the parish priest paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, *please stand up!*"
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The National Anthem"
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
Give me a sense of humour, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humour out of life,
And pass it on to other folk...!
Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day - Always!
The organist playing the national anthem is hilarious
My whole family laugh ...
The humour part is a good one...you see the world in a whole lot different way
Give me a sense of humour, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humour out of life,
And pass it on to other folk...!
Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day - Always!

Someone Told Me About Hist Experience:
My First Condom recall my first time with a condom.
I was 16. I went in to buy a packet of condoms at the corner pharmacy. In those days it took a lot of guts to go in a store and ask for that kind of item because everyone in town knew me and there was no doubt the young lady (I think her name was Susie) knew what they were for.
She was working as an assistant behind the counter, and she could see that I was really embarrassed by the whole procedure. She handed me the package and asked if I knew how to wear one.
I honestly answered, 'No, not really.' So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped it over her thumb. She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure. I apparently still looked confused. So, she looked all around the store to see if it were empty. It was. 'Just a minute,' she said, and walked to the door and locked it. Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse and removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside. 'Do these excite you?' She asked. Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do was stand there with my mouth open and nod my head. She then said it was time to slip the condom on. As I was slipping it on, she dropped her skirt, removed her panties and lay down on a desk. 'Well, come on', she said, 'We don't have much time.' So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful that, unfortunately, I could no longer hold back and KAPOW, I was done within a few moments. She looked at me with a bit of a frown. 'Did you put that condom on, Joe?' she asked. I said, 'sure did,' and held up my thumb to show her. She then beat the poo out of me....
Women have always been hard for me to figure out...
Best quote of the year by Brazilian Medicine Nobel prize winner oncologist Drauzio Varella.
'Today we are spending 5 times more money in medications for male virility and female silicone than in finding a cure for Alzheimer's. In a few years we'll have old women with big breasts and (old) men with hard pe.nises but they won't remember their use.'
VD new strain
While in China , a (US) man is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time he is there. A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his pe.nis covered with bright green and purple spots.
Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor.
The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results.
The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says, 'I've got bad news for you. You've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here, we know very little about it.'
The man looks a little perplexed and says, 'Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, doc.'
The doctor answers, 'I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate it.'
The man screams in horror, 'Absolutely not! I want a second opinion.'
The doctor replies, 'Well, go ahead, if you want but surgery is your only choice.'
The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his pe.nis and proclaims, 'Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Vewy ware disease.'
The guy says to the doctor, 'Yeah, yeah, I already know that but what can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate it!'
The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs. 'Stupid American docttah, always want to opawate. Make more money dat way. No need to amputate!'
'Oh, thank God!' the man replies.
'Yes,' says the Chinese doctor, 'Wait two weeks ... fawl off by self!'
A man breaks into a house to look for money and guns.
Inside, he finds couple in bed.
He orders the guy out of the bed and ties him to a chair.
While tying the home owner's wife to the bed
The convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck,
Then gets up & goes into the bathroom.
While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife:
'Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes!
He's probably spent a lot of time in jail
And hasn't seen a woman in years.
I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants ***,
Don't resist, don't complain...do what ever he tells you.
Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you.
This guy is obviously very dangerous.
If he gets angry, he'll kill us both.
Be strong, honey. I love you!'
His wife responds: 'He wasn't kissing my neck.
He was whispering in my ear.
He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute,
And asked if we had any Vaseline.
I told him it was in the bathroom.
Be strong honey. I love you too.'
Thanks extremenanopowe. This woke me up from my boring work. LOL.
3 Schizophrenia
Maybe you've heard this joke before but my little nephew came to my house today and told me this joke just before our badminton session and i just can't stand laughing even while playing......
3 schizophrenia patients are on their way to be transferred from East Malaysia to West Malaysia using a private chattered airplane. Since they are schizophrenic, while on board, 2 of them create havoc by destroying most of the airplane's seats. One of the pilot came out and was shock to see the destruction made. However, he also notice that one of them, Mr A, is not as wild like two of his friends so the pilot tried his luck asking a favor from him if he can advice 2 of his colleagues to behave.
Half a hour later, it appears that the condition seems to be very quite and out of curiosity, the same pilot went to the passenger area to see what's the condition of the 3 schizophrenia patient. The pilot then asked Mr A:
Pilot : Thanks mate for advising your friends just now
Mr A : No problem captain
Pilot : What advice did you give to them?
Mr A : I advice them not to play and make noise here and if they still want to play, just go and play outside!!!!!

He also ALWAYS had elite weapons in a dome...Greatly padded his stats..Made a good QB look HOF worthy.
Outside (77 games)- 255.9 Yrds/game, 75 TD's/69 Picks (1.09 Ratio), 84.4 QB Rating
Inside (58 games)- 261.2 Yrds/game, 133 TD's/59 Picks (2.25 Ratio), 102.8 QB Rating.
His splits are night/day..He was meh during outside games.
He started in stl from '99-03 and started in ARI from '05-'09...He went from having Bruce/Holt for all 4 yrs to Bolden/Fitz for all 4 of his yrs in ARI.
IMO the most overrated QB I have ever seen, Good QB that looked great due to weapns/dome.
IMO his stats wouldn't have been HOF caliber (or even close) If put in an average situation (average-slight above average weapons/outside).

No way I trade Brady for anyone period...
I may be wrong but i'll take my chances long term. Brady's got 3-4 years left. I think Brady get's one more ring, that makes 4! Come on.....that's clutch
" The greatest basketball player and mind of all time. "
Parillo says he thinks Brady is done in NE after his deal is done (2014 is the end).
Brady doesn't have "long term". He has 2-4 years, and only two will be elite IMO. Parillo said today two years in New England, and then probably gone.
There was a time when the Celts were offered Schremph for Bird (after his injury), and about the same time Pippen for McHale. I'd have done both deals then and now.
I love history, but I love winning more, and that builds more history, not that garbage post Bird - pre KG stuff....

Outdoor Furniture and Design Ideas
A man's home is his castle, and a man's garden represents the surroundings of his castle. Have you ever seen a real castle? If you are living in a beautiful home and its surroundings are not at their best you definitely need some spectacular outdoor garden furniture.
Rattan outdoor furniture is known for its amazing natural design that can turn any green space into a lovely hangout place for you and all of your friends or important guests. Romo Designs knows how important it is to be able to enjoy your beautiful garden and explore it at its fullest. This is why we are offering you an extremely impressive collection of rattan furniture for the outdoors, and also plenty of other tables and chairs made of teak or mesh, glass or textile and even stainless steel.
Whether you are looking for a simple set made of a large table and several chairs, as you don't normally hang around in your yard or garden, or you are looking for some truly comfortable benches, armchairs or sectional suites to considerably boost the comfort of your 'backyard experience', Romo Designs is able to provide you with all of these.
Select your own color and shapes, sizes and materials, choose a certain seating and table type and a specific price range and let our automated system do its job and display the best options for you. You can also choose the live chat option our web site offers and ask a professional to help you make the best decision for your garden.
Designing a living space can become quite challenging. There are many factors to be considered from the colors, the furniture, the design, and so on. If designing a space is difficult indoors, an outdoor space is another challenge. One needs to make sure that not only the design is appropriate, but the outdoor furniture is durable as well.
Outdoor garden furniture or patio furniture should be different from the indoor furniture. Since there are various extraneous factors in an outdoor environment, more things are needed to be considered. Read on to get some ideas about outdoor furniture and design ideas.
Teak Outdoor Furniture
Teak is a commonly used material in making patio outdoor furniture and other things that require resistance to several elements. It is used for outdoor furniture because of its durability even in extreme conditions. Teak is highly resistant to warping, swelling, shrinking and rotting. It contains natural oil that acts as natural preservative to the wood thus making it possible to last for several decades.
The durability of teak cannot be denied. Some of the teak benches in the public parks in England are even almost a century old. Aside from its durability, teak is also known for aging gracefully. Over time, teak develops an almost silvery gray patina that is good on its natural condition or can be restored to have a honey glow using some teak oil or light sanding.
There are many kinds of furniture which can be made from teak. In places where eating outdoors is pleasant, having wooden dining tables and outdoor furniture chairs in backyards, deck areas, patios, gardens etc. Teak is a common choice for these pieces. Aside from that, teak is a popular material for sun loungersand other recumbent seating pieces because of it is durable and is better crafted than other materials. Teak can also be used in making benches. Adirondack chairs or Muskoka chairs can be made of teak as well. These are chairs with high backs, contoured seats, and wide arm rests that provide enough space for food and drinks during meals while reclining without the need for a table.
Teak is perfect for many outdoor spaces. Its timeless design and durability make it one of the best in home furnishings. Well made teak outdoor patio furniturecan last a lifetime. If you wish to a classic and timeless appeal to your outdoor living space, consider getting teak furniture. Expensive as they may be, you will surely get your money's worth.
Rattan Outdoor Furniture
Outdoor rattan furniture is produced from the stem of a climbing palm within Asia. These slender stems are woven together to form beautiful rattan furniture that is both elegant and usable. The furniture is not only interesting and comfortable but fits beautifully in almost any garden environment.
Rattan is one of the most commonly used materials for outdoor furniture. It is a beautiful fiber than is formed into a rigid material. Rattan is a light material but sturdy at the same time. This makes it suitable if the furniture needs to be moved often. A frame made of firmer material is used sometimes. Rattan furniture is often used on patios or porches.
Rattan outdoor furniture creates an elegant and sophisticated outdoor living area. They can be placed both indoors and outdoors. They come in different styles making it possible to match the outdoor landscape and your preferred ambiance. Rattan furniture can be mixed and matched with different colors to make one's patio or garden lively, and can be spiced up with cushions with covers that match the overall feel of your home.
A variety of options are available for those who wish to use rattan furniture. While being able to create a natural and laidback feeling, rattan also gives a classic and timeless feeling for an outdoor space. A good thing about it is that it is not as expensive as teak furniture so if you are working on a budget, this may be the choice for you.
Furniture and Design
Aside from teak and rattan, you may use furniture made from other natural materials such as rattan, bamboo and reed. Metal furniture is also an option as there are aluminum outdoor patio furniture and other metal furniture available in the market. No matter what material of furniture you choose, remember to consider the environment where it will be placed. From the weather to the location in the house, think of the elements that may affect your furniture. Still, you must keep in mind that your outdoor living space should be an extension of your home and should make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Remember to furnish for function and for comfort.
For some design ideas, make sure you design your outdoor living space cohesively. It is still important to come up with a design theme that is coherent with the overall design of your home. You may choose to have specific colors to create the ambiance of the area or use accessories to give that feel. It is a good idea that when you design an outdoor space, you design it as if it is part of your home. Imagine it as if there are no walls that separate it from your indoor living space. Bring in some indoor elements if possible by including drapes, pillows for outdoor furniture, candelabra etc.
Do not obsess over the size of the outdoor living space. If it is small, remember to include pieces that are necessary but at the same time, do not be afraid to decorate and accessorize. If the area is big, make sure that you include pieces that go well together.
It is very important to design an outdoor space while thinking about how you wish it would be used. The furniture and the overall design should be in line with the function of the space. Design for beauty, comfort and function so that your outdoor living space will be useful and beautiful. Outdoor garden furniture is amongst the many things that you will need to think about. In the end, as long as you can create a space that you love and are comfortable with, your outdoor living space can definitely be a good preview of what has yet to be seen in your house.

Why take enzymes?
Enzymes are well known for their support of healthy digestion:
Enzymes are amazing - they can ease occasional heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, constipation, loose stools and cramping. But, our bodies tend to produce fewer enzymes as we get older. Supplementing can make a big difference.
Enzymes also benefit other body systems, too:
They work with your body to promote clear, healthy skin and relieve occasional muscle pain, fatigue and stiffness associated with exercise and overuse.
Why take Mega-Zyme® systemic enzymes?
It helps break down foods with 10 times the strength:
Mega-Zyme® is formulated to deliver 10 times more digestive power than the minimum specified by the United States Pharmacopeia. It's no ordinary enzyme supplement.
It helps digest a variety of foods:
Mega-Zyme®'s combination of pancreatic and plant-based enzymes are most similar to your body's own natural enzymes. They are especially effective for digesting protein, fat, carbohydrates and fiber, and help relieve occasional gas and bloating.
It also supports your body's natural anti-inflammatory response:
Taken between meals, these enzymes relieve occasional inflammation due to exercise or overuse and support deep immune health.

It's half-past the giraffe's ear
22 January 2013 - 12:40pm
It's half-past the giraffe's ear
What time is it?
It's time to take a second look at Giraffica (the ride formerly known as Pilgrims Plunge) and realize that, on a sunny day, it looks a whole lot like a giant sundial:
This time of year, Giraffica casts a long, long shadow on the field that is quickly becoming the home of our new Hyena Falls, with its four in-the-dark water slides:
So why did we change this ride's name to Giraffica?
This ride was originally part of our Thanksgiving section.
Pilgrims Plunge opened in 2009 and was then the world's tallest water ride (it's still the tallest in the U.S.).
We placed it on the northeast edge of Thanksgiving and re-worked some pathways so that it could also be accessible from Splashin' Safari, so that families could ride in their swimsuits, if they wished.
While planning to add Hyena Falls to Splashin' Safari for the 2013 season, we decided it was time to move the park boundary so that Pilgrims Plunge would be part of the water park. And so this huge water ride would need a new name to connect it to its safari brethren.
If you look at the shadow of the elevator (on the right side of the photo), you'll probably see how we came up with the name Giraffica. (It sounds best when said with great authority - the way you'd say a superhero's name: Superman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Giraffica!
And no matter what you call it, this is one fun ride! Here's a long, tall look at Giraffica's huge drop in slow motion:
I am kinda sad to see the name change. With all of the past publicity and photos and videos and name recognition of Pilgrim's Plunge is Holiday World not concerned with loosing that connection? If you google Pilgrim Plunge you come up with all sorts of connections to our beloved Holiday World.
A simple name change to "The Plunge" might have kept that connection better.
A rose by any other name I suppose. To us, it will always be the plunge.... no matter what the name on the sign may be.
I'm sad it has a new name change. I even have shirt that says "I Took The Plunge" and everything! My mom says I could just consider it special and that it could become vintage someday, but it's not the same. No matter what its name is, it will always be Pilgrims Plunge to me!
Giraffe Jump
I think the name change is fine but i should of been something like Giraffe Jump since there is Hyena Falls.

Highlights of Semi Permanent
It really goes without saying (in case it doesn't, in which case, I'll say it) that all these speakers are incredible designers, they love what they do, they stretch boundaries, and provoke thought. These were the highlights from Day One of Semi-Permanent Auckland 2012...
I loved the video introduction for Special, a clip that encapsulated the NZ attitude with just the right amount of self deprecation and dry humour, it was the perfect start to the day. They've done a lot to challenge NZ advertising in a very short time. They combined their work with 8 tips about being a good creative.
Special's motto of "Ludicrous self belief" - like the pufferfish - applied to their Orcon Internet campaign using Iggy Pop.
Gmonk was incredibly technical (in a good geek way) and took us behind the images we often take for granted. His largest recent project was developing hologram images for the movie Tron.
Gmunk enjoying a couple of early morning beers.
Swifty said he loves getting off the computer and creating more handmade work. One thing I loved is that he created a pop up store where all external signage was branded 'Swifty', as well as all the products inside the store. It was an interesting way to do an exhibition. His work is intertwined with music and a great deal of his work has been made for musicians and recording labels. He even worked with Conch Records - and Cut collective and others - while he was in NZ in a three-day workshop creating a zine without computers.
Moffitt:Moffitt was entertaining to listen to, the twins chatted away in brotherly banter.
They said they are inspired by three Steves: Steve Jobs for his partnership intelligence, Steve McQueen for his brash, brave and rebellious nature and Steve Irwin who reminds them to be proud of their origins.
They have created DEMO magazine to promote new Australian bands and gave it away, luckily for us, we were in the front row and quickly grabbed one!
Benjamin Harney's work is something special. I love paper and the he manipulates it is stunning. We especially love the work he has done for Romance was Born and Hermes. He explained the complicated process of making a spectacular pop up book for Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite tour.
Rebecca and her paper origami fortune-teller.
Below: Making a paper MINI at Ponsonby.
Below: paper planes fill the Aotea Centre.
I loved Alex Trochut's (below) typeface illustrations.
His presentation first introduced the history and story behind other artists' work he has 'stolen' then showed us the pieces he created using their artwork as a springboard to create his own. A collection of work he called his 'most beloved robberies'.
...and a flow diagram of how all these influences link up.
The Monkeys were a great way to end the first day, they try to shape the world around them and think about other ways their clients can get coverage, the results are amazing. It was interesting listening to their presentation and each campaign was conceived and executed with impeccable style.
Our stand-out themes of the day: believe in yourself, stretch yourself, be versatile, get away from your computer and get your hands into your work, and collaborate wherever possible.
Thank you to all the speakers today, I'm looking forward to more inspiration tomorrow!

WikiLeaks' "Kissinger Cables" Drop and How TNA Scooped Mainstream Media
WikiLeaks released 1.7 million new U.S. diplomatic cables from during the Henry Kissinger era this week, but the mainstream media has focused upon a long-public quote by the former U.S. Secretary of State as evidence of the revelatory nature of the once-secret cables. Specifically, the media glommed onto the following Kissinger quote: "The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer." But The New American's William F. Jasper reported this exact same quote from another source back on November 8, 2010.

would not normally write a review of a hotel but after seeing some very poor words said of this hotel i felt i needed to send a factual report. this... hotel is graded 2star and does everything you might expect of that grade. it is family run and simply furnished with a small outdoor pool. it does not claim to be anything but that. it is clean and has a decent continental style buffet breakfast and whilst the pool is not olympic sized it is also clean and open at all times for a refreshing dip. the hotel is well located for all that rhodes town has to offer and is minutes away from a wide selection of snack bars and restaurants to suit all budgets. it is great value for its price and for what it offers. if you want a luxury hotel then look elsewhere but for a genuine 2star hotel right bang in the heart of rhodes town then this may just be it....... hosťom spoločnosti Hotels.com dňa 08/10/2012
