Drop the fake nails
Hi I am trying desperate to see your instructions on the video, especially the first and most difficult part in making og this ring. Your fake nails is blocking the most important part of the video, and that is not good for the wiewers. It would be better of you took of the fake nails and showed the instructions with short nails.

Drink it, sit on it
I'm a bit barmy for a good chair, and pretty much anything from Emeco makes the list fo' sho'. Love their story (the aluminum Navy Chair was first made for US submarines during WWII) and love how they've hooked up with big names like Starck, Gehry, Foster and Putman and now, errr, Coke. Stay with me here people. Emeco's latest just-launched-in-Milan chair is the 111 Navy Chair, made of 111 recycled PET plastic 20oz Coca-Cola bottles. The 111 is seriously gorgeous, ultra light, has a great green story - Emeco has the potential to recycle 3 million plastic bottles a year - and comes in six swish colours selected by Laura Guido-Clark. Oh, and the extra sweet part is it'll be about half the price of the original aluminum Navy Chair (which, btw, contains 80% recycled aluminum). Fancy getting hooked up? Then pop on over to DWR, since they'll have the exclusive.

Valley Sun All-Star loves to dance
By Ruth Longoria
July 24, 2008
Dancing is her passion. Kelly Phelan has been taking dance instruction classes ? from ballet and tap to jazz, Broadway and lyrical ? for just about half of her 8-year-old life. The youth said there?s nothing she?d rather do than tap her toes and move her feet. But, there?s more to this week?s Valley Sun All-Star than rhythm, tempo and talent. The Palm Crest Elementary School third-grader also has a passion for people and making life a little brighter for those less fortunate. Kelly?
La Cañada High wrestling has heavy hopes under new coach
By Andrew Shortall, Special to the Valley Sun
December 3, 2013
While some big changes are in place for the La Cañada High wrestling team this season, the Spartans will rely on the strengths they've enjoyed recently and historically. For the first time in more than a decade, La Cañada has a new coach - Justin Luthey, a 2007 La Cañada graduate and former wrestling standout. When the former multiple-time Rio Hondo League champion and MVP first took over the program from longtime coach Gavin Williams on Aug. 6, his focus was on implementing collegiate-style practices.
James Sims out as La Cañada football coach
By Grant Gordon, email@example.com
December 6, 2013
As reported via the school's athletic Twitter account @lacanadasports , La Canada High football Coach James Sims will not return for a third season with the Spartans. The tweet, which was released at roughly 5:30 p.m. Friday evening, read: "LCHS has decided to not renew the contract of head football coach James Sims, whose record was 7-14 in two seasons." Sims, who was hired in 2012, navigated a 2-8 season for the Spartans in his first year after an abbreviated offseason with the program.

L.A. cold snap: Fast-moving winter storm expected to affect travel
By Jason Wells
December 6, 2013
A cold weather system headed toward L.A. County is expected to push snow levels down to 3,000 feet Saturday, prompting road closure alerts and warnings that travel on the Grapevine could be affected, the Los Angeles Times reports . The storm system could bring 1 to 3 inches of snow to as low as 3,000 feet, and up to 6 inches above 4,500 feet, according to the National Weather Service. The snow, combined with wind gusts of up to 55 mph, is expected to make traversing the Grapevine a challenge, forecasters warned.

A missing 19-year-old woman was found Friday morning in Eaton Canyon and airlifted to safety via helicopter, KTLA reports . Bora Kim, a Pasadena City College student, was found by an L.A. County sheriff's search-and-rescue team, Robert Diaz of the Los Angeles County Fire Department told KTLA. A county fire helicopter was summoned at 6:53 a.m., Diaz said. KTLA's Sky5 video showed the helicopter hovering over Eaton Canyon, where rescue officials on foot had made their way to Kim's location.
Glaring needs confront local girls' soccer teams
By Grant Gordon,
December 3, 2013
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, Flintridge Prep and La Cañada High's girls' soccer teams all made postseason trips last season and all three have playoff aspirations for the 2013-14 campaigns. However, all three also have some rather glaring holes to fill. "Super rebuilding year," Flintridge Prep Coach Esteban Chavez said. Said Flintridge Sacred Heart Coach Cesar Hidalgo: "Being a young team this year, calling it a rebuilding year wouldn't be too far off." With the graduation of standouts Sarah Teegarden and Kayla Mills, Flintridge Sacred Heart begins this season without any remaining starters from the historic 2010-11 team that won a CIF Southern Section Division I title.
Devil's Gate Dam sediment project isn't settling well for residents
By Tiffany Kelly,
December 4, 2013
Several La Cañada Flintridge residents have concerns that a project to remove debris and mud above Devil's Gate Dam could be environmentally destructive and affect the health of a neighborhood that includes several schools. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works released a draft environmental impact report in October that outlined five possible options for removing large amounts of sediment that built up in the basin after the 2009 Station fire and the storms that followed.
Home critics lose appeal in La Cañada
By Tiffany Kelly,
December 4, 2013
The La Cañada Flintridge City Council on Monday shot down an appeal from neighbors who oppose the construction of a new two-story house in the city. The neighbors claimed that the project did not fit in with the character of the other homes on Noren Street, which are single-story ranch-style buildings. But council members said that the home met all code requirements and noted that the project was reduced in size after neighbors raised concerns at a public hearing in July. Kent Frewing, one of the neighbors who filed the appeal, was one of several residents of Noren Street who spoke against the size of the project during the City Council meeting.
Olberz leaves Sport Chalet board
October 17, 2013
Erik Olberz, son of Sport Chalet founders Norbert and Irene Olberz, has stepped down from his 20-year seat on the La Cañada-based sporting good chain's board of directors, it was announced this week. "It's been a great pleasure serving on Sport Chalet's Board," Olberz said in a news release. "My departure allows the Board to make room for a new director whose experience is more closely aligned with the company's strategic growth initiatives." He added that he and his family believe that Sport Chalet's chief executive, Craig Levra, "and his team have made great strides in positioning the company for future growth and success." Miki R. Berardelli, chief marketing officer for the women's clothing and accessories firm Tory Burch, has been elected to succeed Olberz on the board.
La Cañada's affordable housing options in question
By Tiffany Kelly,
November 27, 2013
More than 50 La Cañada Flintridge residents filled the Council Chambers on Tuesday night to oppose locations identified by the city for affordable housing, group homes and homeless shelters. The residents claimed that such housing options would not fit into a community known for scenic views, good schools, and little-to-no crime. Others were worried that the changes would lower their high property values. "It's frightening to think of the neighborhood changing," said resident Marilee Mitchell.
Scott Tracy looks back on his LCUSD tenure
By Sara Cardine
December 4, 2013
On a rainy morning, La Cañada Unified Board President Scott Tracy opens the front door of his Woodleigh Lane house, unique from neighboring homes in that it is below road level and perched atop a stream that cuts a natural course through the backyard and into the surrounding wood. Inside, Tracy takes a seat in a front room. He has been asked to reflect upon his 12 years of service on the school board, which ends next week. On Tuesday night he and fellow board members Joel Peterson and Susan Boyd will transfer their seats to the newly elected David Sagal, Kaitzer Puglia and Dan Jefferies.
Flintridge Prep, La Canada, St. Francis basketball look for more success this season
By Andrew Shortall
November 20, 2013
All three local boys' basketball teams will hope to build on last year when the 2013-14 season tips off. Two of the squads fell below expectations, while another matched a program-best playoff run and is hungry for more. Flintridge Prep and La Cañada High both exited the playoffs earlier than hoped a season ago, with the Rebels falling just shy of their championship hopes in the semifinals and the Spartans dealt a first-round loss at home. St. Francis is coming off a quarterfinal run and has championship hopes this year.
The Valley Line: Celebrating 50 years of glorious homes
By Jane Napier Neely
December 4, 2013
As I write this I have watched several cars go by my house with fresh Christmas trees tied to the tops of their cars. Our community is getting ready for the festive season. Last Friday our neighboring village of Montrose lit its tree-lined Honolulu Avenue with tiny white lights. Carolers strolled along the street singing traditional songs of the season and Santa handed out candy canes. The village's wonderful weekend traditions of horse drawn trolley and pony rides, strolling carolers, Christmas music and Santa Claus continue this year.

Working in the fields of public relations and journalism have been both a blessing and a curse for me from the perspective of getting up close to celebrities and other famous people. All of us in public relations have stories of people we formerly admired – worshipped even – until the moment we ended up working with them.
One of the nicer PR experiences I had was when I got to work personally for two full days as the publicist for the cast of the 50's sitcom "Leave it to Beaver". Jerry Mathers (The Beaver), Tony Dow (Wally) and Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) were great people, genuinely cared for each other and left me with a hunger for watching more of that classic 50's show that pioneered the modern sitcom.

Unlike the other 49 U.S. States, Hawaii has no cities or municipalities, except in name. Yet, despite the fact that our lowest level of government is at the county level, individual communities have their own identities and seek to express these in their planning and development. Many island communities establish volunteer community associations to represent their interests to county and state government.These associations participate in community planning and improvements and are taken seriously by government. In fact, the Maui County Council often insists on hearing from community associations on matters that come before them. The Kihei Community Association fills this need in South Maui. The KCA is widely considered to be the most active organization of its kind on Maui. Members of the Board of Directors meet monthly. General Membership meetings are generally held the third Tuesday of each month. Join the KCA today and be part of a growing comunity! Annual membership fees are as follows: 2008 KCA Membership Schedule Membership Level Cost Individual/Family $ 25 Silver $ 50 Gold $ 100 Business $ 100 Silver $ 250 Gold $ 500 Sponsorships are also available

About The Committee System Due to the complexity of its work, KCA divides its tasks among committees. Each committee has its own meetings, within which each committee sets their own goals and objectives. This creates considerable variation among the panels and allows KCA to be most effective in approaching many of the issues that we face as a community. As more volunteers join in with KCA we are able to create more committees to address specific issues that may be timely or seasonal. The main focus of our committees is to find solutions not just point out problems. You can learn more about our committees by using the navigation to your left, or read about their programs in the community section by clicking on tags or searching the archives.

About Kihei
Hawaiians used to refer to the area of Kihei as "Kama'ole" which means "barren." Situated on the coast, southwest of Haleakala, the area was noted for its dry, dusty and hot days – with less than 13 inches of rain annually. An effort in the early 1900?s to establish a sugar plantation in the area met with failure. By 1930 only about 350 people made Kihei their home. There was no paved roadway. Other than non-native kiawe trees and good fishing spots, there was little to attract people to Kihei. Kihei History: In 1932 the government placed eleven beach lots up for sale. Only six were sold. Even by 1950, plots capable of being farmed sold for a mere 5 an acre. Residential property could be bought for as little as five cents a square foot. It seemed that aside from a few scattered businesses, no one wanted to live or work in Kihei.All of that changed in the late 1960?s when water was piped in to the area from Central and West Maui and developers saw an area ripe for sun-loving tourists. Between 1970 and 1980, development of Kihei was done with no real plan in mind. Lots were…

Sa Re Ga Ma Product Placement
Now this is all well and good if tacky. After all, why do you think I watch SRGMP?
But later in the show, SRGMP missed a terrific product placement opportunity. Turns out Harpreet Deol (get well soon, dude) was so sick he had to be helped out on stage by Raja Hasan. Head asked him if he could stand - which the Punjab da Puttar did (I believe he would have been refused entry into Punjab if he hadn't). Everyone talked about how brave he was.
Now if I was a SRGMP producer, I would have watched the tapes and promptly called Tylenol or some other pain reliever and quoted them a 20% premium for product placement right at the very moment when Harpreet was being propped up by Head. But this didn't happen.
There could be two reasons for this revenue miss: the producers of SRGMP are not as smart as I am or they are better people than me. Perhaps both.

I love SRGMP! Deliciously tacky yet so bang on with the contestants. Aspi you have to do a comparison piece soon. Maybe we could start with product placements. Idol's "trying to make it look like natural interaction with awkward undertones" vs 'SRGMP's "In your face, these people pay for the pleather tights and super dark shades" brand of product placement.
- Aspi said...
Leera, your idea is a goldmine of posts. But once the contestants get down to 5 apiece in each show, we'll go through them together just for kicks. In fact, I'm thinking of doing a poll across both shows - only most polls allow 10 choices, so I need to wait.
Just for fun, how abt. a poll on which is the best show.
Amul VOI
On second thoughts, maybe there is a slight overdose of polls. But hey, its your blog, so you decide. - 8/06/2007 3:09 PM
About Amul Voice of India;
My folks back in India, only watch VOI. Thanks for the link, so I can atleast watch it online.
It is Challenge 2005, all over again. I am so hooked on it just by watching one episode. Jatin,Lalit, Aadesh, Abhishek and Shaan.
Didn't know the producer is Gajendra Singh. Is he still the producer for SRGMP??? - 8/06/2007 3:10 PM
- Aspi said...
I must say I did try to watch VoI after a reader recommended it but its overwhelming. I don't think I can track three reality shows!
Maybe next year I'll see VoI in lieu of one of these two. - 8/06/2007 8:13 PM
Gajendra Singh parted ways with Zee,so he's on vengeance to make VOI a better show than Sa re ga ma pa.You see same time slot same day.
He sure took lot of care about the quality of singers I must say.They r totally fab. - 8/06/2007 9:04 PM
yes, I agree. The talenton VoI is amazing.
No wonder, ever since I started watching SRGMP I felt something was missing. did not get the same feel with Challenge 2005. But, I am probably one of those loyal viewers, so continued to watch it.
This year, even started liking II3. Never watched more than couple episodes of II2.
With VoI, I was instantly glued.
when did Gaj.ji and Zee part ways, after Ek Main Aur Ek Tu? - 8/06/2007 9:43 PM
I guess so.But he still has his heart there I believe.Journos quoted that he was enquiring abt the quality of singers on Sa re ga ma pa.Its probably difficult to compete with his once brain child.
He took his fav anchors along with him...Shaan for VOI and Anu kapoor for Antakshari to Star.I wish him all the best. - 8/06/2007 10:06 PM
Gajendra Singh made too many mistakes with VOI - and that's why it struggling with the TRPs. One, he wanted the show be exactly the same as Saregamapa. They were going to call it SaReGaMaPaDNiSa (Phew!), but copyright issues haunted them.
They started off the season too late. SRGMP and II3 were already in full flow by then. VOI lingered on with auditions for waaay too long. The other two didn't waste too much time on it.
Plus, Gajendra Singh has never moved out of his comfort zone. The show was too similar to previous Saregamapas. Same anchor, the judges who were least popular and the same format.
Who wants to watch a clone? - 8/07/2007 12:53 AM
One of the weeks(I dont know exactly which) the show's TRP surpassed that of Sa re...It could b'coz of the tension bet the judges(esp Alka and Aadesh),buy hey we already established that Jhagdas rake in more TRPs.
Now with Alka bidding adieu to the show(for short period may be)and with public voting,now its fun to see great singing.No Gimmicks,Pure Music. - 8/07/2007 8:49 AM
- Aspi said...
Saritha, you know what you should do? You should write all your wonderful observations down and do a guest blog for us so we can cover VoI here.
I dont really know if I can do that Aspi.I was never good at preci writing even in school.And my observations r usually tanda without ur inputs.
But if U promise me to edit my stuff and spice it up,I can try.The reason why Iam glued to ur blog(u know Iam failry new here)is for all those chatpata posts. - 8/07/2007 9:50 AM
- Aspi said...
Saritha, you are very good at writing - if I just gather all your comments, I'd have a compelling post.
So please give it a shot - I promise to edit it and will even go do screen caps of VoI for your post.
Just send it to my email whenever inspiration strikes you and you are ready: ahavewala {at} gmail. - 8/07/2007 10:19 AM
Are you always this nice,aspi?I guess you are.Thank You.
I'll try my best.Your comment was inspiring enough. - 8/07/2007 10:38 AM
they could always add another product placement for VEET
whenever they show Himesh's exposed freshly waxed chest, they could add a caption "Himesh's shiny chest courtesy of VEET wax now in yummy citrus fragrance" - 8/07/2007 5:20 PM
- Aspi said...
Megan, that hilarious. Himesh's man cleavage is quite spectacular.
They should hire you on SRGMP. - 8/07/2007 8:32 PM
dude all your sexy dreams are coming true. just when you thought Himesh can't be any hotter with his "mind blowing" smooth chest on display..he now wants to dance like Hrithik so expect some pelvic thrusts and booty shaking moves.
http://movies.indiatimes.com/quickies/2253701.cms - 8/07/2007 10:23 PM
- *~mad munky~* said...
what illness is this that forces you to wear dark shades? :oS
they're all at it!!
maybe have a big ray-ban advert appear underneath... - 8/08/2007 6:26 AM
- Aspi said...
Himesh dancing would be way too much for this planet to handle. We'll have to wait and see.
~mm~ very timely comment - wondering the same myself. In fact, I'm doing a post on this tonight or tomorrow. - 8/08/2007 9:27 AM

Reviews of Belly Flops® Jelly Beans 2 lb. Bag
Did you ever wonder what happens to the Jelly Belly jelly beans that are a little less perfect? Or the ones that somehow escaped the Jelly Belly logo stamper? Well, those are our beloved Belly Flops! Belly Flops are no less flavorful, or lovable, than regular Jelly Belly jelly beans;... read more about Belly Flops® Jelly Beans 2 lb. Bag
Comments: I have ordered Belly Flops several times, but this time the freshness just wasn't up to par. Seemed a bit harder. Probably won't be back for a while. |
Comments: From frequent Floppers, fantastic freshness for food fanatics!! |
Comments: Belly Flops are absolutely Fun and Amazing! My friend toured the factory with her son, and they brought our family a bag. They are Awesome! Sweet Tangy taste in almost every bite (except for that one bite you weren't expecting...LOL)!Wish I could run out and pick one up tonite...will have to wait for mail order. Can't get enough of them, and there are good reasons to hide them or they'll disappear before you're ready! |
Comments: Was worried the mixture would have few flavors I like - I couldn't be happier with what I got. And the shapes were actually interesting as well |
Comments: We eat them and share them and love them and like the story behind them too cute!!!!! |
Comments: [...]great product thanks |
Comments: The bargain price had me order 4 2lbs.-bags to take for family and friends to Germany. I introduced Jelly Flops at parties and get-togethers, asking people to taste one at a time and guess the flavor. It practically turned into a party game with everyone using their taste buds and food experiences to guess the correct flavor. Even unusual flavors (buttered popcorn) received great remarks once people knew what it was supposed to be. The only flavor consistently producing "yucky-faces" was root beer, which is definitely an acquired and very American flavor. All in all, this is a great sweet treat to take along for children and adults alike. |
Comments: this bag is literally 1/3 licorice a lot of popcorn and not too much other variatioin. seems like the flops only happen for the black ones. One would think that there would be a balanced percentage of flops for all the flavors but obviously not. So I had ordered three of these bags and the result is that I have nearly one full bag of the licorice, that I personally do not prefer. I have written to customer support but they have not replied, like the licorice it seems they only reply to orders |
Comments: I support good marketing. Just the concept of being able to sell the reject beans (with a witty title as well) made me want to buy these (plus the price tag). They didn't disappoint. Very fun to have, great for the office or just giving away. They're highly addictive, so a few pounds go fast. The only con I found was a fair imbalance of beans. There were more liquorish and butter popcorn beans than all the other flavors. Still absolutely worth it :D |
Comments: We don't live close to the factory so when the special buy came up for the belly flops on our email we couldn't pass it up being how inexpensive it was versus buying it in the stores. Thank you Jelly Belly for your sales and email promotions. |
Comments: More flavors! Belly Flops are great, but there are a lot of just a couple flavors (licorice, cherry, cinnamon, banana). I think most people would like it better with a wide combination. |
Comments: All good except one flavor that tastes like soap (I think it's a light green color). Too many black licorice which can be overpowering. Would have liked more sour flavors. Still a great price compared to retail. |
Comments: Stale w/ crumbly coating. To many of one flavor in each bag. This was my second try at buying these. I've learned my lesson.....Won't ever buy again. |
Comments: You can't beat a giant bag of my favorite candy. However the mix of flavors was somewhat limited. It was primarily a mix of about 10 flavors, mainly the bright yellow, bright green and brown. They were good, just a disapointing mix. |
Comments: I have gotten your product from Gum Ball Machines and loved them. This product came no way near what I got from them. Trashy product in this form. Will never buy from you again and I will tell all my friends about my bad experience with you. |

Hazard Communication and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
Related keywords: chemical hazard communication, Globally Harmonized System - GHS
Thousands of products and materials found in today's workplaces contain hazardous chemicals that can cause health problems from minor skin irritations to serious injuries or diseases like cancer.
Hazard communication rules were developed to make sure information about inherently hazardous chemicals is provided to employers and ultimately to employees so they become informed about chemical hazards found in the workplace. These rules apply if you:
- Have employees with potential for exposure to hazardous chemicals at work.
- Distribute hazardous chemicals to employers.
- Manufacture (produce) or import hazardous chemicals.
Washington State's Hazard Communication (GHS) Rule, Chapter 296-901, WAC became effective April 15, 2013.
The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals has already been incorporated into federal OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. As a result, you may see new labels on shipped containers of chemicals that display the GHS pictograms and information. Also, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are starting to be phased out and replaced by newly required Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). Although content details on labels and SDSs are affected by the GHS, many of the current requirements are not changing. For example, requirements to distribute SDSs, label workplace containers, and train employees will remain the same.
To learn more about GHS in Washington State, read Questions and Answers: Hazard Communication Standard or view the Hazard Communication/GHS Rules Update eLesson. To learn more about how GHS started, visit OSHA's webpage.
Washington State's new Hazard Communication Standard, WAC 296-901-140, is substantially identical to OSHA's rule and compliance in our state will be phased in on the following schedule:
Who | What | By |
Employers | Train employees on the safety data sheet (SDS) format and new label elements. | June 1, 2014 |
Chemical manufacturers and importers | Comply with new SDS and label requirements. | June 1, 2015 |
Distributors | Not to ship unless container has GHS (Global Harmonization System) label. | December 1, 2015 |
Employers | Update labels on "workplace" containers and train employees on newly identified hazards. Update the Hazard Communication Program, as needed. | June 1, 2016 |
All | Until the dates listed in this table you may comply with the:
And/OR |

U.S. stocks fell, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to the lowest level since August, as investors' focus returned to the U.S. tax debate and Europe's debt crisis following the re-election of President Barack Obama.
All 10 groups in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index retreated as energy, financial and industrial companies had the biggest losses. Bank of America Corp., Apple Inc. and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. fell at least 2.2 percent to pace losses among the largest companies. Fertilizer producers dropped as Agrium Inc. tumbled 8.8 percent amid disappointing earnings.
The S&P 500 declined 1.8 percent to 1,403.31 at 10:35 a.m. in New York, also poised for the lowest level since August. The Dow slid 240.76 points, or 1.8 percent, to 13,004.92. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 35 percent above the 30-day average at this time of day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"It's a rush to safe haven," said James Paulsen, the chief investment strategist at Minneapolis-based Wells Capital Management. His firm oversees about $325 billion. "We're selling off further on rising fears about what a fiscal cliff negotiation is going to mean here. People bring all their worst fears in. At the end of the day, you have the fiscal cliff, Europe and you see a risk-off trade."
Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney, boosting speculation policy makers will add to stimulus in the world's largest economy. While Obama received at least 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206, Republicans kept a majority in the House of Representatives. Democrats retained control of the Senate.
Fiscal Cliff
Now that the election has been decided, investors will turn their focus to the $607 billion of tax increases and federal spending cuts set to kick in automatically in January, the so- called fiscal cliff. The Congressional Budget Office has said the U.S. economy would slow by as much as 0.5 percent next year if Congress fails to keep the increases from taking effect.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the U.S. election yesterday perpetuated the political status quo and hasn't increased the probability of resolving the nation's fiscal challenges.
"I'm concerned that the election per se has really not changed the balance very much of what's going on" in the debate over how to reduce the U.S. deficit, Greenspan said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop" with Betty Liu. "We've got to resolve this issue. Unless and until we come to grips with this issue, we are not going to be able to look to the future with a considerable state of equilibrium and hope."
While Obama's victory in 2008 spurred the biggest plunge ever for the Dow on the day after an election, gains for American assets over the past four years are among the best in the developed world. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's actions to revive the economy helped send the Dow up 67 percent. The Dow has gained 3.9 percentage points more than the MSCI All-Country World Index since Obama's inauguration, beating 16 of 24 developed countries.
Investors also watched the latest developments in Europe's attempt to tame its debt crisis. Greek lawmakers vote today on a bill that contains austerity measures demanded by the so-called troika that oversees euro-area bailouts insists. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said inflation risks are "very low" and the debt crisis is starting to hurt Germany, Europe's largest economy.
"Germany has so far been largely insulated from some of the difficulties elsewhere in the euro area," Draghi said at a conference today. "But the latest data suggest that these developments are now starting to affect the German economy."
Largest Companies
Some of the biggest companies declined today. Bank of America retreated 4.7 percent to $9.47. Apple fell 2.2 percent to $567.30. Freeport dropped 2.8 percent to $39.23.
Fertilizer producers slumped. Agrium tumbled 8.8 percent to $97.75. The fertilizer maker and the largest U.S. farm-products retailer reported third-quarter profit and revenue that trailed analysts' estimates after Asian sales talks stalled and a plant restart took longer than expected. Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. retreated 1.2 percent to $39.95. CF Industries Holdings Inc. decreased 1.9 percent to $202.33.
NII Holdings Inc. slumped 13 percent to $6.15. The Latin America mobile-phone carrier that offers service under the Nextel brand posted a wider loss than analysts had estimated.
Shares of defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corp. and Raytheon Co. fell after Obama defeated Romney, who had proposed boosting military spending. Lockheed, the world's biggest defense company, fell 4.3 percent to $90.78. Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc., the maker of aircraft carriers, fell 3.3 percent to $43.50.
Time Warner
Time Warner Inc. added 2.5 percent to $44.17. The media company that owns HBO and the Batman film franchise reported third-quarter profit that topped analysts' estimates after making gains in cable-network revenue.
Macy's Inc. rose 0.7 percent to $41.68. The second-largest U.S. department-store chain posted third-quarter profit that topped analysts' estimates while its forecast for the end of the year signaled it may use heavy discounts to draw holiday shoppers.

Yes, nice idea
No, thanks
Hey guys,
How about making it possible to "downvote" the maps as u can do with gamemodes and regions.
That would maybe highly increase the number of games on the 3on3 map.
I noticed that no1 is playing it anymore. And as long as you have just 2 mates this would decrease your w8ing time and making hon more fun.
What do you think?

Building a Relationship With Your Doctor
Topic Overview Back to top
Here are some tips for building a shared relationship with your health professional:
- Choose a health professional with whom you can build a relationship. Think about what you are looking for in a health professional. Find out whether the health professional is well-trained and experienced, available when you might need him or her, and willing to work as a partner with you. It may take more than one appointment for you to find out whether you can partner with a health professional. If you find that you are not able to build a satisfying relationship with a health professional, it may be time to change.
- Tell your health professional how you would like to be treated. Tell your health professional not only that you want to share in the decision-making process but also what you expect from him or her.
- Practice prevention. Many health problems can be prevented by getting immunizations, being screened for health problems, and making healthy lifestyle choices. You also can treat many minor problems on your own by using common sense and monitoring how well your efforts are working.
- Be knowledgeable about your health problems. Find out as much as possible about any health condition or disease that you have. Ask your health professional for written information or local resources, such as national organizations. Know what you can do to care for yourself.
- Communicate your health problems. Give as much information as possible about your medical history and your current problems so that your health professional can be as accurate as possible in making a diagnosis. Let your health professional know your values, beliefs, fears, and concerns regarding any condition or treatment decisions.

French worker kidnapped in Nigeria
No claim of responsibility so far
A French national working for green energy firm Vergnet has been kidnapped in Nigeria, a company spokeswoman said.
The kidnapping is believed to have taken place overnight, and the company is in touch with the French Foreign Ministry as well as the French Embassy in Nigeria, Vergnet spokeswoman Jennifer Julia said.
The abduction occurred in Rimi, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) from Katsina, in northern Nigeria, she said.
No claim of responsibility or demand has been made so far, Julia said.
Vergnet has taken additional security measures for all its employees working abroad, she added.
The U.S. State Department warns U.S. citizens against travel to a number of states in Nigeria because of the risk of kidnappings, robberies and other armed attacks.
The mother of the Nigerian finance minister was seized from her home in a high-profile kidnapping earlier this month. Kamene Okonjo was released unharmed after being held for five days.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Investors should avoid reacting to the first government shutdown in 17 years by selling off their equity holdings, investment advisors said.
Instead, some investment experts recommend that investors ramp up their holdings and take advantage of any dips in the market by adding equities and gold to their portfolio.
The current government shutdown should not be viewed as a threat to the financial markets, said Bill Peattie, founder of Peattie Capital Management and a portfolio manager on Covestor, a registered investment advisory.
The market will perform well over the long term as the economy rebounds, he said.
"Longer term, even with the onset of tapering sometime in the next three to 12 months, there is still enormous liquidity in the system and reasonable valuations in a number of parts of the market," he said. "On balance, global economies are improving, albeit slowly and sporadically."
The stock and bond markets have reacted positively overall to the past 17 shutdowns since the current budget process started in the 1970s, said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist of PNC Wealth Management.
Since it is unlikely for the shutdown to occur for longer than a brief period, investors should expect only to experience "short-term volatility" in the market, he said.
"We do not expect long-term market or economic damage," Stone said. "Over the longer term, markets have been rather unflappable in response to government shutdowns. However, in our opinion, a government shutdown may lead to a more contentious fight on the debt limit, which could cause some volatility as the projected October 17 debt limit date approaches."
The S&P 500 on average experienced "only modest downward pressure before, during and immediately after the past 17 shutdowns," he said. The S&P 500 declined 0.2% during shutdowns and usually rebounded within 10 days after the government shutdown ended.
Over the 1995-96 two-period impasse, the S&P 500 was up 4.0%, Stone added. During the six shutdowns that lasted more than five trading days, the S&P 500 fell a median of 2.0%.
"We believe this is not a time or a reason for investors to move to the sidelines," he said.
Investors should examine their portfolios and add more equities to the mix while prices are cheaper, said Peter Cohan, adjunct lecturer at Babson College and president of Peter S. Cohan & Associates, a management consulting and venture capital firm.
"Now is a good time to buy stocks," he said. "Nervousness related to the government shutdown may drive down prices making them less expensive. In the last four years, stocks have risen an average of 22%. Over the last 200 years, they average about 7%."
Stocks are a better asset class for an investment since gold's volatility is often hard to explain while bonds "are a poor investment because the Fed is likely to raise interest rates next year, which will make their prices fall," Cohan said.

LA Flower District California Flower Mall Do-It-Yourself Discount Valentine's flower bouquets are a beautiful way to express your love and friendship. It's easy to make Valentine's flower bouquets for your sweetheart, mom, sister, or someone who has made your life special. Save big bucks with DIY flower bouquets from the LA Flower District California Flower Mall.
When making a Valentine's flower bouquet the first thing you need to do is choose your flowers. Roses, carnations, lilies, tulips, and freesia are the most popular, fragrant Valentine's flower choices. The LA Flower District California Flower Mall in Downtown Los Angeles is a great place to find a wide assortment of fresh from the farm flowers at wholesale and discount prices.
Choose your colors for your Valentine's floral bouquet. Popular colors for Valentine's bouquets are red, white, and pink. Purple, pink and yellow are a vibrant change of pace from traditional red hues – especially for Mom's and Sisters. You can make a beautiful bouquet with a combination of all these colors, or a choice of just two of the colors. You can also make the decision once you've seen the selection of thousands of different discount fresh flowers from all over the world that the LA Flower District California Flower Mall has to offer. Choose from specialty flowers such big white fluffy Mums, hot pink bromeliads or pink orchids. Specialty flowers can add an elegance and charm to your discount Valentine's bouquet.
Choose vases and ribbon for your flower bouquet. Dollar Tree stores have a great selection of ribbon, vases and supplies for $1 each. A clear glass vase and satin like ribbon look elegant on a Valentine's bouquet. Or keep it simple, skip the vase and deliver fresh cut flowers with a simple ribbon on it.
Prepare your flowers for your Valentine's bouquet. Cut one inch off each flower stem. Make sure to cut at a 45 degree angle. If you have chosen roses, the stems need to be cut under water. Hold each rose stem under cold running water, and then cut. This helps the rose from getting air bubbles and droopy heads. If you a planning to put roses or any flower in a vase, strip the greenery from the lower stem 2 -3 inches below the blossom to make the flowers last longer in water. Add green fern leaves if you want to expand and enhance the fullness of a flower bouquet in a vase.
Arrange the flowers for your Valentine's bouquet. Think of a triangle when you are putting your Valentine's bouquet together in a vase or ribbon tied bundle. The tallest flower goes in the middle. Make sure it is full, and colors are evenly distributed throughout your bouquet. Look at these step by step floral arrangements for complete instructions. Make sure your bouquet looks full and proportional in the vase.
Not enough time to assemble all of your Valentine's bouquets? Some of the LA Flower District California Flower Mall discount flower vendors also have lush, gorgeous pre-made discount Valentine's bouquets available for your convenience.

The Bay Ridge Community Council will be holding its annual family picnic on Sunday, May 6, at the Fort Hamilton army base. Held from 11am to 5pm on the bluff overlooking the Narrows, the BRCC will be hosting a wide variety of games at the picnic. Admission is $2, and be sure to bring your photo ID. (You know… army rules.) Bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks, table, chairs and/or blanket.
Check that – if you're bringing your own table and chairs, I say you're missing the point of a picnic. Picnics are for sitting cross-legged on the ground. (If necessary, the rain date will be Sunday, June 3.)
The Bay Ridge Community Council has also announced its new executive board members for 2012-2013. As reported by Helen Klein of the Home Reporter, Renee Dorsa, the president of the Brooklyn Real Estate Board, will be taking over as BRCC President. Alex Conti, the outgoing three-term President, will become the organization's 1st vice president. Karen Tadross (2nd vice president), Chandra Hira (recording secretary), Joseph Sbarra (treasurer), Arlene Keating (executive secretary), and Frank Lombardi (corresponding secretary) will fill out the executive board.

About the watch thing, he's always got his Blackberry, or another cell phone on him. I always forget my watch although I have about 8 of them, I don't like them on my wrist. But I always have my Cell phone and I flip it open to check the time if I have to know. My DH on the otherhand puts on his watch before he puts on his pants and shoes, but I think that's only because he was a radio announcer for over 40 years and lived by every second. At least that's the excuse he gives me. Anyhow, just thinking he probably uses the Blackberry..

TPU Motor Club: Lets talk cars, motorcycles, engines, racing... 2002 WR250F (found it new just a few months ago) and my 2001 KX250 Some Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/Mediocre80 (My older brother on the '97 XR250, the KTM is my in-law's) Anyone that can tell me how to do thumbnails..... +1
*curses his 08/15 corsa* Oh well at least it totally dominates in traffic light drag races :lol: 106hp powering not even 900kg, it's a lil rocket. It vibrates alarmingly at 160+ km/h tho. Have this car since November 07, will drive it till march '10. Then its one year military service, and then I want a new car^^
My buddy had a VW golf in highschool, that 90 hp car used to fly Might want to check ur tire balance for the vibration, 160kpm is about 100 mph and it shouldn't shake TOO bad Any mods to it? Cold air or K&N filter at least? Let it breathe EDIT: 'My buddy' is the one that's on the KX250 in the youtube videos....10yrs later he's still making up for high school grudges lol
I don't have a car since I don't have my license but I'm studying to get it then I get to drive my mam's car lol, a shitty underpowered Skoda Octavia! Convincing her to get the new Mitsubishi Lancer though then I can mod it and put an Evo X body kit on it
That car is ten years old ans has done 230000 kilometers, a bit more than 40k by me just in the past year. And with my driving style it's a wonder its still alive No mods done. I simply lack the knowledge of doing stuff like this
Bah its easy! Same as computer, u just take ur time go to forums and follow directions... Oh and use the right tools! (sometimes they cost more than the parts)...lemmie see if I can find the install guide for the K&N on my car (it really is easy)....oil changes, brakes, intake (even some exahust), are all pretty easy Good luck Dave with ur license, i've heard it's A LOT tougher to get ur license in Europe
Took me over a year and close to ten grand to get my license. 1. Take first aid course & certificate 2. Take theoretical test % certificate 3. Take driving lessons 4. Take exam one - fail 5. Take exam two - fail 6. Move to other canton and take more driving lesson since it became apparent that the driving instructor chick I had first sucked ass 7. Take exam three - pass
Wow, yeah I heard they were tough and expensive.... All you have to do around here is aviod anything that even resembles an accident, parallel park behind 1 car (not between 2, just behind a single car), do a u-turn in an empty driveway, and then you pass....$60 LOL EDIT: But the process is: Pay $60 and take a written test on the spot. Pass written test and get driving permit w/picture, while u r there, schedule a road test. Take a 10hr class, then take the road test described above. LOL Insurance for new drivers is REALLY expensive though ($1000+ usually) Motorcycle test is separate and more difficult (circles and figure 8's on a 1-way street isn't easy)
Well to get my licence I just have to pass the theory test and to do that I just need to get 35 out of 40 questions right then I can drive lol, have to wait at least 6 months after getting my provisional license til I can do my driving test and get a full license which just means I can drive on motorways and don't need a full license passenger with me lol. I'll be applying for the theory test this week, I'll probably take it in 2-3 weeks and it just takes 2-3 days for them to send out the license. I'd like to be able to drift but I don't know if I'll be able to attend ProDrift Academy this year, they do it around September, I probably won't be ready for that and it costs €300 for the 1 day so I wouldn't want to waste it. I dunno, I might be able to drive well by then who knows lol. As for my own car, pffft, I'm looking at Japanese cars but they all have something wrong with them. The cars themselves are good condition and all that and good price but the tax/insurance or something is a killer. I've looked at the AE86 Corolla but they're pretty pricey, the Nissan 350Z engine is too big, I'd never get insurance of be able to afford the 3.5L engine, the Sylvia I looked at had insurance of €1,800 a year and that was without mentioning it had a turbo, and the beauty Mazda RX-8 only has 20 miles per gallon (UK) but, 1.3L 250BHP engine...fuck it lol, you only live once lol. Now where to get 10 grand lol.
lol my written test (12 yrs ago) as 15 out of 20 questions lol (see edit above as well) As for the money...buy a car that needs work, insure it, and upgrade without telling insurance just don't expect them to cover ur $5,000 motor if something happens lol. But it takes a JOB , a little savings, and sometimes junkyard parts... oh and in the case of drifting...tires
So no driving in a city with actual traffic? Drving as a student in Bern (where I lived back then and started) is tricky. There are things like three-lane roundabouts with tramways, traffic lights and crosswalks. Yay to that. Third exam I took in Schaffhausen. And compared to Bern, it was massively easier
Tax isn't that big of a deal since the engine of the RX-8 is just a 1.3L, but the insurance is gonna suck since I'm only 17 and no matter how good of a driver you are, if you're under 25 they just give you the finger and charge a crap load more :shadedshu But, the good thing about getting a used RX-8 is it only came out in 2004 and since the MPG is pretty crappy they're all pretty new and have low mileage, only thing I need to do is get the 6 speed manual instead of the 5 speed manual. 6 speed is around 245bhp and the 5 speed is around 190bhp, but stilll 190bhp isn't bad considering my mam's Skoda Octavia (which is a very big car) has like 109bhp and so does the Mitsubishi Lancer. The RX-8 is also kitted out, nice racing style seats and all other neat extras.
The final road test was in traffic, but you could get away with no actual road driving until ur test. Depending on the area, you may not have to be out in traffic, think a state in the northeast the drivers are closed course around cones...and they get a license I started out in a residental area, went about 300 yrds, did my parallel and u-turn, drove around the block to where we started, and got my license Same in US, anything that RESEMBLES a sports car is $2000+ until ur 25 (or married ) BUT, you can buy something that isn't USUALLY a sports car and tweak it....finding that car is a bit more challenging
Here its at least one hour of traffic driving. Driving backwards around a turn on a heavily trafficed intersection? Absolutely. Intructors trying to lurk you into places you shouldn't drive? Absolutely. Instructors taking the metering rule to determine if you are absolutely in the middle of the parking spot and parallel and holler at you if you are two centimeters more to the right? Absolutley. That's what I had go to thru. At least I drive since two years without an accident.
Lol, I rolled a van within 6months of getting my license. None of that stuff for our tests though...I think they should, some kids honestly don't know how to drive (i didn't )
Another thing about the RX-8, most of them are in either Northern Ireland or the UK, so it might be hard to find one, they're also mostly in red which I don't really like lol.
Here is the problem that nobody drives as they have learned. At least I don't Yesterday I was at a course. Mandatory course, so I can keep my license. New stuff, since three years every driving newb has to do this. Costs 350 bucks and you learn NOTHING. The second course is even worse. THere you'll be accompanied by three other participants, and after driving in the city a bit, they tell you how they felt. I mean I took a skid control course tho, suggested by insurance. That was fun! And I actually learned something. And I have to pay less insurance now
Paint isn't that bad either. You could probably rent a decent air compressor and buy a good air gun....other than that you just need the right weather What some ppl do around here is insure it under their parents and just add the new license as an 'occassional' driver on that vehicle, not as the primary driver
Yeah, my mam would get me insured as a second driver on her car, it adds like 50% to her insurance but that's not bad, also helps my insurance because they ask if you've been a named driver. Just looked at RX-8s again, a lot of them are up north, it would be a pretty long drive, but it can be done. None of them are over 50,000 miles, they all seem to have nice features. Heated and electric seats, heated mirrors, 6 cd changer, 17/18" alloys which I'd replace with lighter ones, air con and so on, so you get a pretty good car lol.
Lol, do anything to it? Those are fairly light cars could probably get it moving pretty well. I love the ecotec in my saturn. Paired with the 5-speed its a lot of fun to drive Sound like some pretty sweet cars

Marvel Universe
Real Name
Unknown to most the inhabitants of Earth.
Place of Birth
First Appearance
Ironman #55,(1973)
The Blood Brothers were imprisoned in the Vault after their battle with the Avengers. Quasar for some unknown reason convinced the Warden to release them into his custody so that they could participate in a battle arena. He takes them to Mars where the Brothers pound unmercifully on Quasar, until Wonder Man contacts him to inform him that Makkari is on the move. Quasar uses the power of the quantum bands to form to giant hands, which he uses to help him, escape. The Blood Brothers are left stranded on Mars.
They managed to escape their exile and one of the brothers appeared in a bar on Earth where he fought the U.S.Agent. The Agent easily defeated the one brother. After that it was learned that the Living Planet Ego was about to attack the Earth. The U.S.Agent enlisted the Blood Brothers and a bunch of other aliens to help him battle Ego and an enhanced race of Kree known as the Ruul. Together with the help of the heroes of Earth the Blood Brothers were able to help save the planet.
This act of heroism in no way means that these two cosmic bad boys are in the hero business. They are later found on a prison transport vessel in route to the Kyln prison station located at the Universal Crunch. The other inmates on the ship are Drax the Destroyer, Lnatik and Paibok the Power Skrull. The transport crashed on Earth near a small town in Alaska. All the inmates survived the crash and were discovered by a ten year old girl by the name of Cammi. The Blood Brother became engaged in a battle with Drax the Destroyer. The battled ended with one of the Brothers losing his life. It is unclear if the surviving brother became weaker or stronger as a result of his brother's death. It is safe to say that time will soon reveal this answer.

Mitchell Powers didn't pitch much for Cheverus High this spring because of an elbow injury.
But rest, warm weather and a strong mental outlook have made all the difference for Powers, who is one of the top thee starters for First Title, the American Legion baseball state champion.
Powers has been one of the many contributors for First Title, comprised of Cheverus players.
It will need everyone chipping in to succeed in the Northeast Regional that starts today at The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach.
First Title (20-8) will play Woonsocket, R.I., at 4:30 p.m.
There are eight teams, including Fayette-Staples of Saco, in the double-elimination tournament. Fayette-Staples plays Milford, Conn., in the last game of opening day. The tournament will end Monday, pending rainouts.
Players like Drew Ferrick and Felix del Vecchio didn't start for Cheverus but have become key components for First Title.
Also, Nic Lops returned to play with his former teammates after a season with St. Joseph's College this spring. Peter Potthoff, who graduated from Cheverus in 2011, didn't play at the University of Tampa but came back for one last summer of baseball.
The key for any team in a long tournament is pitching: First Title has Louie DiStasio, Harry Ridge and Powers.
Powers, who is expected to start the opener because he has the most rest, last pitched Friday in the state tournament, going eight innings and throwing 140 pitches in a 9-4 victory against Windham.
Giving Powers the start allows DiStasio another day of rest. DiStasio, Ridge and Powers all have five wins this summer. Brady Murray and Nate Smith are relievers who could be key in a long tourney.
Pitching in an AAU game last fall, Powers felt a pop in his arm. He had surgery to insert a screw in his right elbow. Powers didn't pitch early this spring but as the season progressed, saw a few innings for Cheverus.
"The velocity is coming back with the fastball," said Powers. "The same with the curve. My arm is about 90 percent back. I feel good and I'm ready to go. Hopefully it will turn out well."
Powers is experienced in regional tourney play. He played for Portland Little League North, then Portland Babe Ruth in regional tournaments. Along with pitching, Powers said defense has been a key.
"Our pitching will help but it's not going to carry us. Our defense is what got us here," he said.
First Title went 4-1 in the state tournament. In its championship-clinching 5-4 victory Monday against the Pastime Club of Lewiston, Ridge pitched the final three innings.
DiStasio pitched the first six innings Sunday before the game was stopped because of rain, then finished the next day.
Counting the Zone 4 tournament, First Title had played 10 games in 15 days.
Coach Mac McKew gave his team Tuesday and Wednesday off.
"We took a breather. I don't think they'll forget how to swing a bat," said McKew.
On Wednesday, the teams registered at The Ballpark, had a lobster bake and a home-run derby contest. Each team was allowed one hitter, getting 10 pitches, in the home-run derby. DiStasio was First Title's representative.
First Title has a .314 team batting average this summer. Tyler Flaherty and Lops lead the team at .400. Ridge is hitting .398 and DiStasio is at .391. Ferrick, who drove home the winning run in the state championship game with a ninth-inning sacrifice fly, is hitting .325.
Flaherty also has picked up his play from high school to Legion ball.
Fayette-Staples, made up of Thornton Academy players, is in the tournament for the second straight year as the host team. It had two close games last year, losing in extra innings to Rhode Island and Vermont.
The team had six players return from a year ago.
Right-hander Jeff Gelinas (6-2) will pitch the opener for Fayette-Staples. Jack Kenney and Steve Harmon are the other starting pitchers.
Harmon leads the team with a .450 batting average, followed by Gelinas and Kenney.
Knowing it would be in the Northeast Regional again, Fayette-Staples played two out-of-state teams, Auburn, Mass., and Cumberland, R.I., during the season to get ready for the tournament.
Fayette-Staples played three games and lost them all, but Coach Ray Petit said it was a good experience.
"It's always nice to play out-of-state teams to see where you stand," he said. "There are no returning teams from last year. The only team we know is First Title because we play them in high school."
