If all you want is major-label signed bands, stick to the weekly DLC updates. This is no different than that, just with a focus on indie groups. In the end it's the exact same concept.
Of course, if you completely overlook RBN as "just a bunch of garage bands" (which is what ALL bands are, before they get famous, note) odds are you're going to miss out on some good songs you might have otherwise enjoyed playing... but hey, your call.
As for the original suggestion of just sharing the MIDI, that's not going to work. I tried doing something similar with free DDR style programs years ago, supplying charts while the user rips their own albums. Every rip is a little different in terms of timing; maybe they'll use the version off a Best Of CD instead of the original album, or maybe the ripper introduces minute time compression, etc. It never lines up properly and it's not worth it. Stick with FoF or a similar freeware engine and take your legal chances, I guess.

The attitude appears to be, that while one could go to great lengths to empathize with the children who act out, probably because they have a crappy home life, ultimately we can't condone that behavior. No excuses.
At the same time, when it comes to teachers who act out by berating children, we appear to rather look for an excuse. Thus far, teachers and staffers who are posting the most, typically blame the parents and the administrators.
Many feel that a teacher who consistently berates children, probably shouldn't be a teacher. However, we should compare the two situations of "acting out" - those by students and those by teachers.
Perhaps the questions should be do we have most of these problems from a small group of students and teachers who consistently act out, or do we just have a higher percentage of people today than we did 20 years ago, that are likely to "act out" once in awhile?
If it's the former, that's pretty easy to know what to do - fire the teacher and remove the child from the class.
There are no easy answers, but it requires a true group effort. Hopefully, when the City Council meets with the School District on June 1, they will be prepared to start the discussion about "acting out" on this level.

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
Normally, lungs are able to take in and expel air because they are surrounded by the pleural membranes, which creates a sealed vacuum. If this seal is broken, as it may be after a car accident or stab wound, air can get into the space within the membrane but outside the lung.
The pressure from this external air is too much for the delicate lung tissue, and it becomes impossible to inflate the lung. When this happens the lung collapses, and this is known as a pneumothorax. Symptoms of a pneumothorax include sharp pain, difficulty breathing and feeling very tired and anxious.
Treatment for a pneumothorax involves:
Giving oxygen and allowing the lung to recover on its own. This is suitable only for a small pneumothorax
Inserting a tube between the lung and the pleural membrane to remove the excess air so that the lung can start to inflate again. Oxygen is usually also given to help with symptoms
Surgery to repair the damage and to prevent the lung collapsing again.
A pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the arteries that takes blood into the lungs. Just as a blockage in one of the coronary arteries leads to the death of heart tissue and a subsequent heart attack, a pulmonary embolism can lead to the death of large amounts of lung tissue. This can be rapidly fatal.
The artery in the lung can become blocked by:
A blood clot: it is common for people who are ill for a long period and immobile in bed to develop clots in the deep veins in their legs. This can lead to deep vein thrombosis, and part of one of the blood clots can break off and travel to the lung, lodging in a lung artery
An air bubble or particle of talcum powder: this type of pulmonary embolism can occur in intravenous drug users, as air or talc is introduced into a vein by a poor injection technique.
As most cases of pulmonary embolism are caused by blood clots, the main therapies include drugs to thin the blood and break down the clot:
Anti-coagulant drugs such as heparin and warfarin are used to thin the blood, so that it can flow more easily past the obstruction
Thrombolytic drugs such as streptokinase can be used to break down the clot but this has to be done carefully as the clot can break into large pieces, some of which may travel to the brain and cause a stroke
Surgery: this is only used in a few patients who are suitable; more operations used to be done to try to treat pulmonary embolism but these were often unsuccessful so are no longer recommended.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is an umbrella term used to describe the state of someone whose breathing has become very difficult. They are anxious and may show signs of blueness around the lips and in the skin of their hands and feet.
This may be because of an accident, almost drowning, drug or alcohol abuse, inhalation of vomit or other substances that are damaging the lung tissue, or acute lung infection such as pneumonia. Typically, acute respiratory distress syndrome develops within a day of the injury or the onset of serious symptoms due to infection.
Treatment usually requires admittance to an intensive care unit, and respiration support. The patient is intubated and a respirator controls their breathing, the pressure of gas going in and the amount of oxygen delivered to the lungs.
The underlying cause of the lung problem then needs to be tackled. In the case of trauma, surgery to repair the damage may be necessary. For severe lung infections or inflammation, treatment with antibiotics and/or corticosteroids is usually started immediately.
The main airway can become blocked by food or a foreign object and someone who is choking needs immediate help to dislodge whatever is causing the problem. Most first aiders are now trained to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre, in which the diaphragm is given several sharp thrusts from just under the ribs. This forces air upwards, hopefully removing the foreign object.
If an object is too small to block the airway, it may become lodged in one of the bronchi or further into the lung. This often happens in children who inhale watch batteries or earrings after they put the objects in their mouth. The position of the object can be revealed in an X-ray and an endoscopic retrieval system is then used to remove it.
Parents of small children may also make an emergency visit to an A&E department because of breathing difficulties caused by croup or epiglottitis:
In croup, infection causes the airways to swell and, in a small child, the small airways can start to close up. This causes the loud rasping noise when the child breathes and coughs. Usually, the problem is temporary and can be relieved by bringing the child into a steamy atmosphere, but occasionally the croup is severe and the child needs to be intubated so that they can breathe until the inflammation has passed
Epiglottitis is swelling of the epiglottis due to infection. Again, as a small child has only a small throat and airways, the tissue can get so large it completely blocks the top of the trachea. This usually requires immediate intubation and treatment to reduce the swelling.

Please stop your search and trust the good reviews, I spent day and night looking online and in the stores for the perfect combination (comfort, firmness,and price) of a mattress. I did so much research on foam vs. coil. We had our newborn baby on a hand me down mattress that I thought he sunk into, come to find out it was only 80 coils! It was like placing him on a feather throw minus the suffocation. Ever since he was born we have had him in the crib placed in our room. I was so afraid of changing the mattress as he doesn't seem to complain and he slept well on it for naps and evenings. However in attempt to fix his acid reflux with natural approaches we resorted to a new mattress. I purchased this mattress online and couldn't be happier! This mattress is firm, but gives enough for comfort. We purchased the mattress when he was 6 weeks, he is now going on 9 weeks. He is 24 1/2 inches long and 13 pounds 14 ounces, our large perfect baby and this mattress is great for support. He loves to play, squirm and sleep on this mattress. It also appears with the crib inclined and a firm mattress his reflux is sounding much better. The mattress is a perfect form and a tight fit compared to the rounded corners. The sheets fit very tight on them opposed to the rounded corners. (so tight that it leaves about an inch and a half of the mattress cover exposed.) I can't say much for the toddler side but the infant side is perfect and hope that my little guy enjoys the toddler side as much as the infant side.

I was excited to buy this mattress based on the reviews. I already had to return two Serta mattresses because they were too big to fit in the crib regardless of what the manufacturer's listed mattress size.The DaVinci Emily II was almost exactly the manufacturer's listed size of 52x27.5x6. It fit perfectly in my Babi Italia Pinehurst crib (bought over a year ago. flawed interior design - the posts protrude into the interior area making mattress buying a real challenge). The infant side is nice and firm with a strong border wire. The toddler side is a little more plush and comfortable. The different sides are nicely marked although it is just a sticker and not sewn into the surface. The 260 coils make the surface even and you cannot feel the individual coils through the surface. A really great value for the money.BUT...The mattress has a loud crinkling sound of plastic underneath the surface. I would compare it to gently handling a plastic grocery bag between your hands. It was like this on both sides and even the gentlest touch with your fingertips would produce a crinkling plastic noise. I was surprised as no one in the reviews mentioned this. I really wanted to keep this product but I had to return it.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Comments about DaVinci Emily II 2 Sided Crib 260 Coil Mattress with Borderwire:
We bought this mattress for our first child who is now 2. We're expecting our second in a couple of months and went with what we know works. Having both the infant and toddler sides makes this mattress useful for many years. Our daughter has always slept well on this mattress (not so in other places) and it fits well in a standard crib. No complaints at all.

Too Noisy
By tired mom

About Me First Time Parent
I bought this mattress months before my baby was due then she slept in a bassinet for the first 2 1/2 months. Had I not past the return time I would send it back. She hates it and does not sleep well. She would sleep for 4 or 5 hours at night and now she screams when I put her in the crib and only sleeps about 1 1/2 hours. She is obviously uncomfortable because she constantly thrashes around. The mattress is so noisy. Every time she moves I hear plastic and coils. I tried the toddler side and it just seemed to puff up not necessarily softer. She seemed a little happier on that side but I don't think it is safe for an infant. It fits perfectly in to my Emily crib but it is so hard to change the sheets. Maybe I got a bad mattress but I would not recommend it.
Good Buy!
By Jennybird

This was a great buy for the dollar. We can use the mattress for our infant and then toddler. I gave this mattress 4 stars because I was confused as to what side was for the toddler and what side was for the infant. In other reviews it was stated there was a sticker but mine did not have one. All in all I would highly reccomend this mattress!

See all my reviews
I have a 2 mo son and he has been sleeping good on this mattress. It is very sturdy and fits snug in our Regan 4-in-1 convertible crib. It has waterproof cover all the way around, no need to worry about the stains.My only wish is that it has couple hanles of some sort. I know the regular mattresses (for adults) do not come with handles - and it is pain to handle them when you have to. But I need to take this mattresses in and out of the crib way more often than I do with our regular mattresses. So some sort of handles or easy to grab feature will be great.

Not so great!!
By New mom
from Bellevue, WA
I bought this mattress because it fits our crib perfectly and the price was very affordable. Our now 4 month old infant started sleeping in her crib at 2 months, so we have only been using it for 2 months and there is already a huge indent in the mattress where she sleeps. We have already turned the mattress around so that the "head" and "foot" parts are switched, and a new indent formed very quickly. How is the toddler side supposed to hold up well when the infant side can't even take the weight of a 10-15 pound infant for a couple of months? Sometimes my daughter rolls into the indent and ends up on her side... it can't be comfortable for her! At this rate, we will probably need to buy a new mattress soon! I do not recommend this one!

Bought this mattress on sale, and it fits our crib snuggly (Delta Bentley). Hard and firm, and we love that it has the toddler option on the flip side. Plus, it arrived in 2 days!

Great Mattress!
By Finally FTM
from Alpharetta, GA
I was really pleased when I got the product. It fit perfectly in my Graco Lauren crib. I was afraid it was going to be heavy and bulky but it wasn't at all. I was pleasantly surprised. It looks like a great mattress so far. The true test is once the baby gets here and sleeps on it but I have high hopes. :)
By Dressers
from Texas
We ordered this and it came about four days later. It fits perfectly in our Delta Venetian Sleigh crib. I can definitely tell a difference between the firmness of the different sides, however, there is not that huge of a difference. But it might be enough to make a toddler more comfortable. I don't think the mattress is too loud. We have a mattress pad and a fitted sheet on it and if you press against it and move your hands around, yes it does make a little noise, but so did some of the other mattresses we looked at. So I don't think it will be a big deal. However, I'm still pregnant so I don't know how our baby will like it.

Le Roi penché
Carolyn Carlson René Aubry Marie Desplechin"He was called "le Roi Penché" (the Inclined King) because his huge body was always bent over. His head was weighed down by his crown and his eyes had lost their ability to leave the ground and look up at the sky." Creating a work for children gives free expression to fantasy in everyday life and produces amazing stories. In her second original work for a young audience, Le Roi Penché ("The Inclined King"), Carolyn Carlson has chosen, with writer Marie Desplechin, the realm of the fairy tale – for its own special logic, extraordinary characters and imaginary world whose meaning becomes clear as the story progresses. In this tale, the course of life on earth is influenced by the inhabitants of the sky: the sun, the moon, the stars, comets and birds. "Once upon a time, a hunchback lived alone in a deserted, desolate land." He wants passionately to become a father and begs the sky to send him a child. The sun sets itself ablaze and drops an egg down to earth. Out hatches a wonderfully beautiful little girl named "Née d'un œuf" (Born from an Egg), who the hunchback raises by moonlight to hide her from view and protect her from being abducted. But the birds of the night spread the news which reaches the Inclined King, whose body is stooped from his greed for earthly possessions. He wants "Née d'un œuf" for himself and is prepared to fight violently to achieve his aims… These battles between the powers of the sky and the earth stir up the themes of love, solitude, freedom and harmony between existing forces. The work's poetic charm also comes from the ethereal music by René Aubry – Carolyn Carlson's loyal artistic collaborator – and the magic-enhancing visual effects by set designer Stéphane Vérité. choreography original music playwright literary advisor set design, images and lighting image production costumes assistant choreographers performers production creation since 6 ans |

Systems that are at home in any home
Your drapes, fabrics and paint colors were all chosen with care to suit your home and tastes. Your heating and cooling system should be just the same. That's why we offer our innovative products in four configurations. One is sure to meet your needs perfectly.
Split systems
A split system simply means your solution has products that reside both inside and outside your home. In many cases, a split system consists of:
- Furnace―provides heating and the fan used year round to circulate air
- Evaporator coil―the indoor component of your outdoor cooling unit
- Air conditioner or heat pump―works in tandem with the evaporator coil
- Ducts―carry the conditioned air throughout your home
- Control or thermostat―your interface for controlling your system
- Optional air quality accessories―clean, humidify, and freshen air before it circulates throughout your home
Some split systems consist only of an outdoor unit―such as a heat pump or air conditioner―and an inside fan coil. If that's the case, there's usually another heat source in the home like baseboard heat or a boiler.
Your expert ALRO technician will be happy to show you how your HVAC system works.

The Sign
The Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection
- Watch a video
Christianity was born nearly two thousand years ago in ancient Palestine. It has shaped the course of human history. Yet historians still cannot say how it really began. How did a first-century Jew called Jesus manage to spark a new religion?
It is one of the biggest and most profound of all historical mysteries. This extraordinary book finally provides a convincing answer.
Traditionally, the birth of Christianity has been explained via the miracle of the Resurrection. After Jesus died he was raised from the dead by God and appeared to his disciples, telling them to spread the gospel. Once they saw the Risen Jesus, nothing could shake their belief. Within a few generations Christianity had spread throughout the Middle East and Europe; within a few centuries it had taken over much of the world.
But historians have been unable to account for Christianity's remarkable success without the Resurrection to spark it. If no one really saw the Risen Jesus, how were his followers convinced that he was their immortal Messiah?
Art historian Thomas de Wesselow has spent the last seven years deducing the answer to this puzzle, and in doing so he has pieced together an entirely new picture of the birth of Christianity. Reassessing a familiar but misunderstood historical source and reinterpreting many biblical passages, de Wesselow shows that the solution has been staring us in the face for more than a century.
The Shroud of Turin, widely thought to be a fake, is in fact authentic. And it holds the key to the greatest mystery in human history.
Thomas de Wesselow is an art historian experienced at tackling "unsolvable" problems. He earned his MA and PhD at London's Courtauld Institute of Art, researching the controversial Guidoriccio fresco in Siena, before becoming a scholar at the British School at Rome, where he worked on another of the great mysteries of Italian art history, the Assisi Problem. After a year in the curatorial department at the National Gallery in London, he was appointed a postdoctoral research associate at King's College, Cambridge, where he was later awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. He has written on a number of famous Renaissance paintings whose meanings have hitherto defied analysis, including Botticelli's Primavera and Titian's Sacred and Profane Love. He has also developed new ideas about medieval world maps, in particular the Hereford Mappa Mundi. Since 2007 he has been researching the Shroud full-time. He lives in Cambridge.

And now some fresh pickings from the political grapevine.
Media watchers on the inside and outside are wondering why Sunday's sixty minutes interview with President Obama and secretary of state Clinton.
Was so soft on CNN last night piers Morgan asked CBS's Steve croft.
-- -- Obama keeps coming on sixty minutes croft said quote.
I think it's a question of fairness I think he knows that we're not going to play gotcha with him.
-- we're not going to go out of our way to make him look bad or stupid and we'll let him answer the questions.
News busters said of that answer quote how proud the folks at CBS must -- -- to know they've created an environment.
Where the president of the United States feels comfortable coming on their network without any concern that he might be challenged.
And therefore look bad or stupid it.
The Atlantic -- the interview to calling it an embarrassing failure that uncovered no new information.
Arguing the daily show's Jon Stewart asks tougher questions quote.
There's something deeply wrong with the American journalism when the host of the half hour comedy show with a left leaning audience.

A five year old boy in Cape Cod Massachusetts faces a possible suspension.
From his after school program.
After building on gun out of -- groups.
Yes Lagos the boy's parents say the school is taking things a bit too far and that.
A little bit of -- direction would have been enough and they point out again the boy.
Was five years old the principal of the elementary school told our affiliate fox 45 quote.
Well someone might think that the making of a Lago -- is just an action of a five year old.
Two other five year olds that might be a scary experience.
Finally Italian sources tell Fox News that top Obama guru David Axelrod is now advising Italy's Mario Monti as he runs for prime minister there.
-- opponents went after Axelrod comparing him to Guns 'N Roses front man.
Axl Rose why we really don't know other than similar first and last names spot the ad is seen here is translated.
Quote a guru had advised Monty to attack his opponent but gurus sooner or later leave and Italy's problems remain.
On American comments -- on Politico was more hung up on the imagery of that ad in the politics.

YankeeJim, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I wasn't sure what was newsworthy in this story. Please review our FAQ or check out our J-Tips for more help.
NP Rank:
We have three elevators in our building. One is usually used for freight, people moving in and out. One is usually in an idle state as a back-up. Then, a primary elevator is in constant operation. I know about them because I live on the top floor, "ding."
Sometimes, the elevators get out of kilter, stopping a little short, or slowing, etc. I feel pretty safe in the elevator, and not just because a certificate says that it was inspected. It is because the basic design is sound, and our building people keep them maintained.
We all rely upon the elevator maintenance professionals for our safety, so I took a picture of them working in the shaft. They are like miners, in a way. They operate in the dark with unnatural light. It is dirty and greasy in the shaft. I sure would not want to know what they find in the bottom.
They are upgrading controls and safety devices now, so I am feeling pretty good about that.
"The History of the Elevator
Mary Bellis
Primitive elevators were in use as early as the 3rd century BC, operated by human, animal, or water wheel power. From about the middle of the 19th century, power elevators, often steam-operated, were used for conveying materials in factories, mines, and warehouses.
In 1853, American inventor Elisha Otis demonstrated a freight elevator equipped with a safety device to prevent falling in case a supporting cable should break. This increased public confidence in such devices. Otis established a company for manufacturing elevators and patented (1861) a steam elevator. In 1846, Sir William Armstrong introduced the hydraulic crane, and in the early 1870s, hydraulic machines began to replace the steam-powered elevator. The hydraulic elevator is supported by a heavy piston, moving in a cylinder, and operated by the water (or oil) pressure produced by pumps.
Electric elevators came into to use toward the end of the 19th century. The first one was built by the German inventor Werner von Siemens in 1880."
"One killed, one injured in Vietnam elevator accident
Last updated: 6/3/2010 11:05
A woman was crushed to death and another injured when an elevator malfunctioned in the central Vietnamese province of Khanh Hoa on Wednesday morning.
Witness Tran Thi Ngoc Lai, chief accountant of the State Treasury in Dien Khanh District, said that she and director Nguyen Thi Thu Ha and cashier Tran Thi Huong took the elvator to the first floor from the ground floor of the treasury's headquarters.
However, the lift didn't stop at the first floor, but at some 40 centimeters above, Lai said, adding that she then quickly got out of the lift, whose door was always left open."
YankeeJim, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I wasn't sure what was newsworthy in this story. Please review our FAQ or check out our J-Tips for more help.

Game Recap: Can We Even Into Wins? - Mariners 2 Angels 1
Sorry for the bad grammar, but this past week of Angels baseball has fried most of my brain. The Angels just cannot buy themselves a win right now, probably because they're spending all their money on Vernon Wells (hur hur hur). The Angels need some fresh home cooking and a change of scenery to get back on top. Good thing the Angels are going to be ditching the AL in favor of playing some NL ball. Good thing small ball is the Angels specialty.

Clean, convenient for JFK airport. Free Wi Fi. Free shuttle. Friendly and helpful staff. Cheap airport hotel.
Seedy area, felt a little unsafe. Needs complete refit, old and tired accommodation .
close to JFK, free shuttle, nice breakfast, good staff. Good for an overnight stay, and very reasonable rates. Not a 5 star motel, but a good 3 star for the reasons above.
rooms a bit on the shabby side.
We had a last minute flight cancellation and were forced to stay the night in nyc. We were looking for some place to sleep for a few hours and get on a early morning flight. It was the most reasonably priced hotel close to the airport. It had free shuttles to the airport too.
I'm sure the hotel was nice in its day, however, the owners have taken money out without reinvesting enough of the money back into maintaining their property. There were broken tiles in the bathroom and everything is starting to look a bit dingy (carpet, paint, etc). Its always sad to watch people let their properties fall apart. It was nice enough and still fine for our purpose of an inexpensive place to sleep but it needs some tlc.
Room well equipped. Staff friendly. Breakfast - OK.
Breakfast and coffe/tea available around the clock
Wi fi is too weak in the room, had to open the door to get the signal. Closet in the bathroom is too smal, like this is for junior closet.
We were told in aroundabout way that we were being moved to another hotel because they were full (even though i had booked this hotel nearly 2months in advance!) for convenience to get to the airport easily in the morning. we were told that the hotel shuttle will come and pick us up from the hotel which was another 3miles away from the airport and all we'd need to do is call at 530am to be pick up for 630am so we got up earlier and phoned at 530 to be told they could not pick us up until 730 (our flight was at 845 having told them repeatedly and asked quite a few times that they would pick us up!) having got the other hotel people to phone for us we rang them back and told them that they had stuck us out here and we didn't know where we were, that they had to pick us up. After this they said they could and would have a driver with us at 610 and to be ready. Luckily they did pick us up and early 6am but we were already waiting downstairs because if they didn't pick us up we would have had to find our own way there! So an early start for a long flight made us very stressed and was not a good end to our honeymoon! So if they tell you they are moving you else where make sure you put your foot down!
The staff is not friendly. Receptionist has no idea of what customee service is. Breakfaat is too basic abd the shuttle to the airporr that they offer is a conn. The driver is the nastiest person in the world. He drops people off at the aur train station; so if you have too much luggage this is not the service you need. I do not recommend this place.
It is conveniently located not far from JFK airport plus it had a free shuttle back to the airport. The room was clean if somewhat shabby but the bed was very comfortable and the staff very helpful.
To be honest my first impression on arriving was OMG, what a dump, that was not helped by the black wall in the reception area, the dirty carpets and bits of beds and mattresses lying around the place on the way to my room. The place does not give a good first impression at all.
Location was close to JFK airport and fair breakfast provided. Polite personnel / staff and good for business traveler
Terrible outdated dirty hotel, Not even worth $25 a night
Dirty outdated bathroom Falling ceiling particles. Just a terrible dirth nasty place to stay in
Clean and quite

SAN FRANCISCO PREMIERE! "A passionate geek doc that not only follows the life and death of the videocassette, but also the amazingly complex backstory of how it became a format for the ages — transforming from afterthought into obsession. Interspersed with endearing insight into the lives of countless modern-day VHS collectors and enthusiasts, this stand-up-and-cheer industrial underdog story sheds light on why geeks and everymen alike can't stop thinking about those temperamental plastic black cases that gave us so many hours of home entertainment. From Japanese tape innovators and the VHS/Beta war, to American schlockmeisters and the legions of fans who still love them, this is the tale of those daring souls who took cinema out of the theatre and brought it permanently into our homes. Featuring intimate, enlightening, and often hilarious interviews with Frank Henenlotter, Jason Eisener, Atom Egoyan, Charles Band, Cassandra Peterson, Mamoru Oshii, Mike Vraney, Lloyd Kaufman, Roy Frumkes and many more!" — Ted Geoghegan, Fantastia Fest.

WILLIAM DAVID CHWAN JR. March 23, 1952 June 16, 2006 Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Why he had to go I don't know, he wouldn't say. I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday. We love and miss you dearly, Dad. Every single day you are in our thoughts and our hearts. Leesa and Jenny.

Don't call it a comeback...
hey guys, getting closer to getting this up. My target is to have it running for UFC 112. Start thinking about it, I hope to hit it when I get back. Maybe late this week, I'll have a plan together.
You know I am down for this, I think the way we did it on the other site was a good way. Or were you there for that? I have a foggy memory from all the acid trips....lol.

Yeah, I was there and headed the east coast league. I was taken a shower last night and I think I came up with a better format. I remember the draft sucked ass trying to get everybody on board. I started the Excel sheet last night and got a pretty good plan together. While you fucks were enjoying the fights, I was doing some sick ass excel formula Trying to make tracking it as easy as possible and the whole setup as easy as possible. Going to do more of a salary cap format versus a draft. Just refining the numbers now. I think its going to work just fine and hope to have my plan up and ready before 112. It will be a 3 month season to start and we will go from there. But need to avoid this site as much as possible until I get a chance to watch 111 which should be by Monday. I think you guys will like it, should be much easier to enter and much easier to track compared to the last format.
Just read the ENTIRE thread, and I'm not sure how I missed this except that we must have talked about it over the phone and I just figured you knew what I thought but THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I'm in ASAP, and as I'm sure you remember, I missed my draft at the old site and had to have your sorry yet gracious @*# pick my picks......it's on!

Good to hear, I think I figured out a way to give the fighters a $ value and we will have a 5 mil salary cap. Everybody will just draft their own team and as long as they are below the 5 mil, they are good. I just got into NM and I'm still downloading 111. Don't spoil anything in this thread since it's the only one I'm reading. But I was able to get 10% done in AZ but I even have a slower connection here. Looks like it's about 5 hours away from finishing. That would make it 11:30ish before I could watch it. Not sure if that's going to happen but I've done good today to avoid any spoilers from all points, I don't want to push my luck
this shit is driving me crazy, I want to see 111 so freaking bad. I'm at 29.6% download but still 3+ hours to go. Maybe I will just wake up early and watch it before I hit the road. Should be home around 2PM is the plan.

Life and Death in MornayJuly 2, 2004
One hundred Sudanese dinars (30 cents) by foot, 200 by donkey: this is how much pro-government militias demand from those who forage for wood or grass beyond the periphery of Mornay camp, West Darfur. The amounts may seem small but in reality these pay-offs represent a fortune for people whose livelihoods have been completely destroyed. Not only do women and young girls face beatings and rapes if they can't pay, but even if they can. "One night an elderly woman and her granddaughter came to the clinic," said 31-year-old Dr. Sandrine Mons-Normand. "The grandmother screamed and held onto the girl trying to protect her. She was beaten. The girl was gang-raped." Extortion and rape are a daily occurrence for the 80,000 displaced people living in Mornay, a town that lies 50 miles southeast of the city El Genina. The same militias surrounding them today forced them from their homes in massacres that took place between September 2003 and February 2004-a killing spree that left 1 in 20 dead and many of their villages and fields reduced to nothing but ash. Under Mornay's midday sun, white-robed men sit in small groups beneath whatever shade exists-beneath a mim tree or in the shadow of a wall. Children run about kicking up clouds of dust. Every hundred yards, the carcass of a donkey lies contorted in the sand. Women and young girls balance thick bundles of wood on their head as they walk through the fetid, trash-strewn paths of the camp. Their jalibias-billowing, colored head to ankle wraps-clash with the drab desert landscape while their air of dignity stands in stark contrast to the indignities they continue to endure. "They try to find solutions, by leaving early or in large groups," Mons-Normand continued. "But the women I have treated weren't crying or revolted or saying how unjust this is. They just seemed so exhausted." In late June, the rainy season began, with a driving downpour lasting all night. In usual times, the rains through August would be welcome-for filling the massive wadi, or dry riverbed, for freshly planted sorghum (a cultivated grain), or for respite from the constant sun. Today, though, it is just one more hardship to endure. By morning, rivulets and pools of mud replaced the sun-baked ground. Many of the hastily made shelters don't have plastic sheeting for cover, leaving thousands of people unprotected from the storm.
"We have no beds and the water just rushed in," said 43-year-old Adam Abaka in front of the shack where he, his wife, and nine children live. "We had to stand up all night-me, my wife, my nine children." His village was attacked before dawn one day last September, and many of his friends were murdered before his eyes as he fled. The rains will exacerbate the severe health risks to people already weakened by violence and malnutrition. With only a few latrines and drastic shortages of water, much of the camp will turn into ponds of stagnant sewage. Roads will become impassable, further hampering already slow and irregular relief efforts. "You can walk around and see where the water will flood," said Margaret Bell, a 43-year-old nurse from Australia. "Cholera is the biggest worry-without treatment you can die in several hours." "We have already seen a few cases of shigella," added 36-year-old Dr. Greg Elder, the head of MSF programs in Mornay. "And if we don't see cholera it will be good luck, not good management. The mortality of these would be huge."
Even without these new risks, 200 people die in Mornay every month from easily treatable diseases like respiratory infections, watery diarrhea, and malaria. One in five children suffer from severe malnutrition, making them even more vulnerable. Shortly after the rains arrived, 2 children died in the intensive care tent at MSF's therapeutic feeding center. In the wake of high-level political visits to Khartoum, there has been talk of resettling the displaced to their home areas. Sudanese officials issue weekly statements carried in the Arabic and English language press. Authorities in Mornay have pressured camp elders and chiefs. No one in Mornay wants to return to devastated areas that are still prone to attacks. People are clear that they would rather choose the safety of numbers in this overcrowded, unsanitary camp-with its concomitant risks of disease, starvation, and abuse-than go back to the shards of pottery and memories of murder that litter the blackened patches of earth they used to call home. Twenty-year-old Katouma Ahmed fled to Mornay with her husband, four children and two donkeys six months ago after militias attacked a nearby village. When they briefly returned to their village three days later, nothing remained. "How can I live there?" she asked. |

This unique event almost defies description...but here goes. Superb organization, stunning scenery, a course that has everything, fantastic atmosphere and great camaraderie. If you do no other trail or ultra race - do this one. The race starts near Katoomba, about 2 hours west of Sydney, close to the stunning Megalong Valley and winds its way 99.99% offroad to Jenolan Caves. The course is EXTREMELY tough - the organizers insist on a previous sub-4 hour marathon to qualify. I am a 3:15 road marathoner and this trail event took me six hours to complete - I didn't know my stopwatch could go that long. A lot of fit folks fail to make the seven-hour cut off... and after seven hours of this they're probably glad to get a free ride to the end. Despite its small size, c. 700 runners, the race organization is extremely professional. Refreshments and toilets at the start, kit drop off, very well stocked water stations all the way to the end of the race, clear signage and good medical facilities (which appeared to be doing brisk business at the end of the race). It must be said that there were some impressive looking cuts and bruises to be seen at the end - the course is 'tricky' in places. The weather can add to the fun - early parts of the the course have little shade and it gets very hot. One also gets a good, if somewhat disturbing, insight into the Aussie running psyche - they'll run up a cliff face in scorching heat and keep talking while they do it. Completely bonkers. If you want to walk like John Wayne for a week - this is the race for you.
For those of you used to turning up at ultra trail runs with only a handful of competitors and having to look after yourself with water and suplies, the Sixfoot Track Marathon will change your view of trail runs. When I turned up at the start of the race I was amazed to see about 500 competitors. This made the run so much more enjoyable as there was always someone to run and talk with no matter what speed you where running at. The route that the race takes changes all the time. You start out with a steep descent which is down a long flight of stairs cut into the cliff face, this will certainly get the quads warmed up. The next part is gradually downhill and lets you get into a bit of a rhythm. At the 16km mark you hit the low part of the course at Coxs River. After that it's UPHILL! for the next 10km. It's so steep most people will find it faster to walk. Just when you think the hard bit is over you have about 8km of very gradual uphill, the sort that just slowly wears you out. Just when you think it's over you have the finish down the steepest hill you've seen in your life. The support along the way is provided by the Bush Fire Brigade and is the best out of any run I have done. There are so many stops that it is not necessary to carry anything. They are only about 2 to 3 kms apart and have water, fruit, lollies and sports drinks. This is a tough race but a great one. I'll be back next time.
The bush race that all bush races in Australia seem to be compared to may appear a modest event with only 500 participants, but you will be glad there aren't more joining you after a few minutes of this race. At 8 AM, 75 minutes after sunrise, the 6-Ft begins with a steep descent, which includes stairs, into the aptly-named Megalong Valley, then follows singletrack and fireroad net downhill to Cox's River. There are two wave starts 15 minutes apart, a year 2000 addition that greatly alleviated the crush of people in the first few kilometers. Once descended to the valley, runners need to climb several fences via innovative stepladders, and also make river crossings that could get the shoes wet... all typical of the Aussie bush race experience. A loooonnng uphill to The Pluviometer had most runners walking, but then the course levels off so you can get a rhythm going. Water stations were numerous and negated any need to bring a water bottle, even in the warm late-summer conditions of early March when the race is run. Volunteers from the bush fire brigade are good support, but you'll find most spectators nearest the road, with 10K more to run. The last 2K is a nearly-indescribeably steep descent along a scree slope and final stairway to the Jenolan Caves, where the finish line is tucked away on the road beneath your descending trail. Having lived in the USA for 40 years, I found this race to be the polar opposite of the big-production NYC Marathon experience geographically as well as logistically, but no less satisfying. Explore one of the dozen guided cave tours if you have any energy left afterwards. I didn't, with a 4:16 finishing time and 11th place, but will be back in 2001. Training? Plenty of long bush runs and big hills!

The EDL even links to a "Jewish Division" on its Facebook page and posts messages of support for people of color it feels have fallen victim to Islamist extremists.
Members of the EDL clashed with police near the scene of Ribgy's killing last week. A tweet from its official account proclaimed then that "it's fair to say that finally the country is waking up!:-) NO SURRENDER!"
Murder sparked outrage
Men in a blue car drove up on a sidewalk Wednesday and struck the 25-year-old Rigby. They got out of the car, according to police, then stabbed and slashed him to death with knives and meat cleavers, before dragging his body into the middle of the street.
After the attack, one of the men, his right hand covered in blood, the left brandishing a knife and a cleaver, found someone with a camera and talked into it. He justified the terrible deed as revenge for the killings of Muslims around the world.
The video went viral on the Internet.
When police arrived, one of the suspects rushed officers with a gun, authorities said. Police opened fire, wounding both of them.
Extremism task force
Britain is forming a task force that will examine the dynamics behind extremist groups in the country, Prime Minister David Cameron's office announced Sunday.
The group, led by Cameron, will "have a general focus on extremist groups, but accept that in practice the greatest threat is from Islamist extremists," a statement from Downing Street said.
The Muslim Council of Britain said the task force needs to look at "extremism from all quarters" while forming an effective strategy.
"We must be vigilant and ensure we do not inadvertently give into the demands of all extremists: making our society less free, divided and suspicious of each other," said a statement from the council's secretary-general, Farooq Murad. "Lessons from the past indicate that policies and measures taken in haste can exacerbate extremism."

The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Vienna Girardi told new fling Gregory Michael she was single -- while her then-fiance Jake Pavelka was 2,000 miles away in Georgia taping "Drop Dead Diva." In an exclusive interview with Us, Michael, 29, says, "She made it very clear they were not together." How did she explain why she was still wearing her $42,000, 2.72-carat Neil Lane engagement ring? "She said it was for the show," adds the "Greek" star.
An insider explains the two met in a crowded limo en route to a Children's Hospital of Orange County event on June 19, and then attended PacSun's Summer Solstice Beach Ballyhoo on June 20 in Santa Monica, where they "were all over each other ... Vienna kept saying, 'I'm a smitten kitten,' and he would say, 'No, that's what I call you!'"
Admits Michael, "I have a fond affinity for her." The 24-year-old former Hooters waitress then dumped Pavelka over the phone June 21, after selling an interview to a tabloid, a source tells Us.
"He was taken aback. It was unexpected," says a source. Adds another insider, "He realized he couldn't be blinded by love anymore and he has no tolerance for infidelity."
To read more about Michael and Girardi's steamy weekend, the sneering comment she made about Pavelka while flirting with Michael, and how Pavelka is finally seeing Girardi for who she really is ("She showed her true colors," he was overheard saying on the Lifetime set), pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

The Whitecaps pushed past the league leading San Jose Earthquakes with a gritty, character driven performance that underlined the legitimacy of their playoff aspirations. Vancouver got off to a great start with a fierce shot by Jamaican Dane Richards who was sent in on goal by a terrific slide pass by YP Lee inside the San Jose defence. Richards was left one on one with the Earthquakes goalkeeper and proceeded to blast a hard shot over the surprised Jon Busch.
The imposing figure of Alan Gordon managed to head the equalizer past Joe Cannon after a tussle with fullback Alain Rochat, who was restored to the defence for this game by Coach Martin Rennie.
However, the Caps went ahead for good when Camilo was tripped up in the penalty area by a desperate Sam Cronin tackle as he shaped up to shoot on the San Jose goal. It was the first spot kick given to Vancouver this year and Barry Robson pounced on the ball to dispatch it past Busch with a hammer of a shot. Camilo appeared disappointed that he did not have the chance to take his own shot at the penalty he earned.
Defence clams up San Jose attack
Vancouver`s defence then went on to clamp down with the lead, in contrast to giving up late goals as happened against LA. It was an encouraging sign from the Whitecaps back line, which had been subject to some criticism lately for loss of concentration.
YP Lee steps up again
The Korean international displayed his two way prowess yet again with his usual strong tackling, and he chalked up his fourth assist of the campaign, which is a superb number for a fullback.
Man of the Match
Jay DeMerit epitomized the right way to mark a player as he kept San Jose`s excellent striker Chris Wondolowski to a low key outing.
Play of the Match
Camilo`s somewhat controversial tumble frustrated the San Jose team, especially an irate Wondolowski, who felt it was a dive but it put the nail in the coffin with the resulting PK.

Report: Apple's Jobs maintained stock-option ignorance
Apple CEO Steve Jobs maintained that he was unaware of the accounting implications of stock-option backdating during his deposition last year with the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to a transcript of the interview.
Forbes managed to obtain the document after a Freedom of Information Act ruling in its favor, and has published a story examining the transcript. Apple and Jobs were the subject of an investigation after the company determined that two stock-option awards given to Jobs and other Apple executives were improperly backdated, and that minutes of a meeting were falsified by Nancy Heinen, Apple's general counsel … Read more

My definition of a mentor is: Someone who can cope with young people that are not as smart as others, someone who can give constructive critizism and advice, a person who is patient and kind, someone who is flexible and open, and a good listener to problems and questions.
