By Nicholas DeLorenzo, Associate College Football Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - 2011 SEASON IN REVIEW: In Steve Spurrier's seventh year as head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks, he led the team to arguably the greatest season in school history.
Expectations were high coming into the 2011 campaign with a preseason No. 12 ranking, and the Gamecocks backed up the hype with a 4-0 start - their biggest win during the stretch coming on the road at SEC Eastern Division rival Georgia in thrilling fashion, 45-42. They dropped an Oct. 1 home matchup to Auburn (16-13) before ripping off three straight wins to improve to 7-1.
South Carolina's toughest test of the season came in a Nov. 5 clash with No. 8 Arkansas, which they lost by a final of 44-28, but that would be the team's last setback as it won three in a row to end the regular season.
Despite having beat Georgia earlier, and having a better overall record, the Gamecocks' 6-2 SEC mark was a game behind Georgia's at 7-1, so they missed out on a chance to play for the SEC Championship. They instead accepted a bid to the Citrus Bowl, where they defeated Nebraska in a 30-13 decision. The 11 wins were a school record and its No. 8 ranking marked the first time the team ever finished a season in the top-10.
OFFENSE: South Carolina was one of the better SEC teams on the offensive side of the ball a year ago, ranking fifth in points per game (30.1) and fourth in yards per game (375.4). With several key returning starters, it only figures that the Gamecocks will improve upon those numbers this fall.
With nearly 1,200 yards and 17 touchdowns as a freshman, Marcus Lattimore had already asserted himself as one of the best running backs in the nation in 2010, and it was more of the same through the first seven games of his sophomore season, as he collected an amazing 818 yards and 10 touchdowns before his season was cut short by a knee injury. Now healthy, Lattimore tries to cement himself as a true Heisman contender and a top pro prospect.
"Marcus rehabbed (his knee) beautifully, done everything they asked and probably a little bit more." Spurrier said. "He should be ready to go."
Quarterback Connor Shaw also missed some time to injury last season, but still proved he is one of the more reliable signal-callers in the conference by completing 65.4 percent of his passes for 1,448 yards, 14 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 10 games. Shaw is also a huge contributor in the running game, adding 705 yards and 8 scores. He proved to be up for the challenge in his first year as the starter, and figures to improve in his junior year.
Although last year's top receiver, Alshon Jeffrey (762 yards, eight TDs) is gone, wideout Ace Sanders (383 yards) and tight end Justice Cunningham (142 yards), along with Lattimore out of the backfield (182 yards), have shown to be reliable options.
DEFENSE: As impressive as the Gamecocks offense was in '11, the defense was arguably the reason for most of the team's success. They finished third in the SEC behind only Alabama and LSU in scoring defense (18.8 ppg), while allowing just 268.9 yards per game. Though the loss of defensive leaders Melvin Ingram (10 sacks) and Antonio Allen (88 tackles, three interceptions, four forced fumbles) certainly hurts, the team retains a ton of talent.
D.J. Swearinger was key in the club's three-safety set a year ago, recording 80 tackles and 3 interceptions. DeVonte Holloman was also effective in the secondary, compiling 51 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and an interception despite missing a pair of games.
Defensive ends Devin Taylor and Jadeveon Clowney caused havoc in the opposition's backfield all year long, combining for 20.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks. Clowney added 5 forced fumbles in an amazing rookie campaign, which culminated in a Second Team All-SEC selection and the SEC Freshman of the Year honor.
"I have full confidence and I like what we are doing on defense," Spurrier said. "We expect Jadeveon to play more than he did last year. We need to turn him loose."
SPECIAL TEAMS: The Gamecocks will have two new specialists this season, with Adam Yates serving as the placekicker, and Mike Williamson as the punter.
Bruce Ellington was USC's primary kickoff returner in 2011, gaining 463 yards on 20 returns. Sanders has big play potential as a punt returner too, as he returned a 68-yarder for a touchdown last season.
OUTLOOK: As it was last year, the SEC East appears to be a two-horse race between South Carolina and Georgia, which means the Oct. 6 matchup between the teams in Columbia is one that most college football will be watching.
Outside of that game, the Gamecocks seem to have the more difficult schedule between the two, with their toughest tests coming at home versus Arkansas, and on the road against Florida and LSU.
South Carolina clearly has the talent to earn a berth in the SEC Championship Game. Despite high expectations, Spurrier doesn't want to get too far ahead of himself.
"We could potentially have a very strong team, but we could go the other way," he said. "I think this is the most talented team we've had at South Carolina."
With the Gamecocks' tricky schedule, they will need to win that crucial matchup against the Bulldogs for their best shot at improving upon last year's performance.

The room was generally well equipped and clean but the bed was very hard. It wasn't very near the metro either. Most taxi drivers were also not keen to drive back to Tong Mao Hotel from other areas, probably because they were unlikely to get passengers back. The staff was generally polite and responsive.

Sushi Kappo Tamura
Online Reservations
Took my family out for a special occasion. We had been here before so knew the food was good. Had a variety of things: the duck breast, assorted tempura, chawan mushi, oysters on the half-shell. Most memorable for me was the braised wagyu beef shoulder. It might not be the biggest menu but they definitely do everything really well, the only downside is its definitely on the expensive side so if you're prepared to splurge, this is definitely a place to try.
What a wonderful presentation for Mother's Day. It was delicious and beautiful. Count me in for the next special occasion meal.
I do not go to japanese restaurants very often due to so many disappointments in Seattle area. Then my friend took me to Sushi Kappo Tamura the other day. OMG! I am so happy to discover this one. So I wanted to share the happy experience with my friends who love good food. 4 of us went for their mother's day, special Kaiseki set. Wonderful food, we did not leave one single grain of rice on the dish!
Visited for dinner on Mother's day. Service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. After having read several reviews which recommended omakase (chef's choice), but only seeing it as a footnote in the menu, I had to ask about it. I found out it is 7 courses and $100 per diner. A little beyond our reach. We went for the "tasting menu" instead, which was still 5 courses and more than enough food. The mustard greens and albacore with almond wasabe sauce was a fantastic opener, the duck was wonderfully tasty, and the sushi exquisite. The honey quince yogurt panna cotta at the end was just divine. Overall, not the sort of experience we can afford often, but worth it for a special occasion.
The ONLY thing lacking here was speedy service. If your willing deal with the slightly slow service you are in for a treat! The sushi was outstanding. The most tender and flavorful fish in the area that has obviously been cared to with the utmost detail. The rice was perfect, they use only a hint of vinegar which attracts all of your attention to the supremely delightful fish.
Some have placed this sushi restaurant at the top but we would not. The service was slow and the sushi, although quite good, was short of remarkable. The pricing was reasonable.
We enjoyed a wonderful meal at the sushi bar, fresh & delicious nigiri and rolls, nice Miso soup. Chef Taichi took great care of us, he is clearly a master sushi chef. I enjoyed watching him prepare omakase for guests seated next to us. I want to come back and try that sometime. The ambiance was pleasant, blond wood & soft lighting. The only negative was the ladies room. Since it was a one person room I was surprised that the hostess came out before me, leaving it in less than acceptable condition before returning to her spot at the front. We enjoyed our experience, but I didn't leave feeling like it was better than our usually frequented sushi restaurants in Seattle. I am not sure how soon we will come back, but I am glad we tried it.
You're not going to get sushi that tastes this fresh anywhere else--or as delicious. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle hands down. Food, ambience, service, everything is spot on just like the live spot prawns, ha ha, dumb joke.
Good atmosphere, sushi was fresh. Best place for sea urchin!
Unbelievably creative and delicious, extremely fresh seafood and local produce, some from their own roof. Knowing, gentle staff and good sake selection.
One of our favorite spots. The food and service is always good. This dinner held up to our past experiences. We were very happy to learn that they are now open for brunch on weekends.
Paired with the finest sake, each dish was absolutely delicious! Our service was also very gracious and attentive which made the experience all the more memorable.
I loved everything I ordered. Great place for high end sushi!
The chef who started other places like Chiso also started Tamura. As usual, he delivers. A must try!
...as always. Took an east coast friend here for sushi. Great fish again. WA & AK on the menu. Yum.
Everything was outstanding. The black sea bass was amazing and the sushi melted in your mouth. The Mustard greens and Washington Albacore tuna dressed with an almond wasabi sauce was also outstanding. The only item that was not to our liking were the local spot prawns. They were a bit mushy and overdone.
Some of the best sushi I have ever tasted. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We will be back soon.
Uni was the best. Standards like black cod and vegetable tempura as starters were very good. The oysters were tasty and well presented. I will ask for six without the sauce and six with next time. Rolls were innovative but within expectations. Sapporo on tap was good. The herring was fresh and good. The experience was good enough to bring me back within a month.
after recently being verbally abused by the hideous owner chef over at mashiko's in west seattle, and otherwise being subjected to the mediocrity of the broader seattle sushi scene - i had nearly sworn off sushi entirely. but i finally decided to check out Sushi Kappo Tamura on the advice of friends whose tastes i greatly respect. it's easily the best decision i have made all year. this place is outstanding. i ordered the omakase and there wasn't even one dish that didn't blow my mind. however, if you're looking for sushi on a budget then this place isn't likely a good fit. you're going to drop some serious cash on the omakase but it was beyond worth it. do yourself a favor and check out this place immediately!
I had the Hiru Gozen and it was the best brunch I had so far in a Japanese Restaurant here in Seattle. Looking forward to trying the rest of the brunch menu.
Very fresh seasonal (Copper River salmon) sushi with tasty small plates, including mustard greens with albacore.
Kappo is an amazing place to eat. They do a great job of staying on top of everything from the time you enter until you leave.
After seven amazing and very interesting courses I left happy and relieved that I had picked the right spot for my business dinner. Will be back.
The quality and freshness of their seafood is the best In town. My favorite spot in Seattle for sushi!
If you are looking for a place to have great sushi, sashimi and overall amazing Japanese food, this is the place to go. Do the omakase and be amazed at what comes out next.
We went primarily for the Sushi and were not disappointed, everything was excellent. If you are a fan try the Unagi, they grill it themselves and it was fantastic. We tried a couple other menu items and loved them all, this is a great place.
This is my favorite in Seattle. The mojito is amazing. I can't help but order two. The fish melts in your mouth it is so fresh. Love that you can get locally caught fish. Staff is very helpful and knowledgable. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is!!
The best sushi place in the city. Nothing compares to the quality of the seafood and the presentation. I absolutely love this restaurant.
TaiChi is an outstanding sushi chef in every way. The sushi is always super fresh and excellently prepared. And he is a smililng and charming presence at the sushi bar, willing to explain each dish and prepare special treats for you. The cooked food is also great. His partner, Steve, runs the restaurant smoothly and has developed some very interesting sake flights. The restaurant is consistently excellent. It is one of the very best restaurants in Seattle!
The price is a bit higher than other restaurants, but the Sashimi was really fresh and definitely the place to go to if you like raw food. The cooked food in comparison could be improved. For example, the red snapper cheek and it was a bit overcooked, and the steamed spot prawn as well. Had the Omakase (8 courses - $100/person) - and a bunch of sashimi on the side. (which is why the above two items you won't find on the menu) - was hoping that with the special menu.
Rated the best sushi place on a local magazine for a couple years now, I finally ventured to SKT. The four of us ordered almost everything on the Ippins, a few rolls (non) vegetarian, some nigiri and some sashimi. While its not peak optimal season for fresh seafood during this time, the Salmon toro and other sashimi were distinctively fresh. My favorite Ippins was the black cod, goeduck and wagyu beef. Even the ingredients in the rolls taste fresh and distinctive, compared to stale taste in rolls in most sushi place. SKT style of flavors are very subtle and letting the ingredients speak for themselves than overpowering it with too much seasonings. Even the simple mixed green salad with its simplistic miso dressing was extraordinary.
I will follow the chef wherever he goes! Delicate dishes and how food should be portioned. Tempura was perfect; light and crispy. Next time I am going the omakase route.
It was yummy sushi, some really interesting flavor combinations. We really enjoyed our dinner experience
Our experience was outstanding. Excellent service and even better sushi. I had the best salmon I have ever had in a sushi restaurant.
Sushi Kappo Tamura is a great location if you consider yourself a sushi snob! Parking is all street out and about the Eastlake neighborhood but that's about the only down side for this place. Great service, easy to make reservations, including reserving the bar, good menu, great cocktails and great atmosphere! We made reservations on a very short notice that there was no problem with that. Tables were available on a Friday at 7:30PM. The mustard greens salad was incredible, as was the uni and spyder rolls. Give it a try, this place is very good.
the sashimi was the best that I have had anywhere, very fresh. we sat at the sushi bar, I had hoped for more interaction with the sushi chef. I like it when they talk to you and give you recommendations. At this restaurant you order from the waitress even if you sit at the bar. I think that it took away from the true sushi bar experience. I would still go back though, the sushi was awesome!
After hearing from a friend that works here, and from so many other people of how great the food is here - I HAD to go try. Seattle Restaurant Week came and this was my chance! The experience of eating at the sushi bar and being able to converse with the sushi chef, Tai Chi, made it even more enjoyable! Everything from my appetizer of the oysters (OMG so good) to my omakase (can anything just melt in your mouth and be so good?!), to my chestnut creme brulee...I will be definitely going back. Definitely worth every penny eating here.
Seattle Restaurant Week: Neta, sea food on the rice ball of the Combination Sushi, was very fresh. Nigiri, rice ball, was a little too big for me. I prefer small Nigiri. Oysters in shell were very fresh and tasty. Chestnut Creme Brulee and Yuzu Yorgrut Penna Cotta are superb! They were so refreshing with full of flavor of the ingredients, chestnut and Yuzu respectively that I was thinking of them over night.
We visited during Seattle Restaurant Week, and had a great selection to choose from along with an alternative sashimi plate for $10. Everything was delicious and all of the sushi and sashimi was very fresh. We also had dessert, and they were good, but I wouldn't suggest getting dessert here...fill up on the sushi/sashimi!
Went to sushi Kappo tamura for restaurant week and was not expecting fish that good! They really know what they're doing! Ranks up their with some of my favourite sushi places in Japan!
Tamura had 6 different tuna sashimi options and they had about 20 different Saki options, plus several other fish options, all very fresh. You'll need reservations, all the tables were taken, and most of the sushi bar seats were occupied (a good sign if you want very fresh fish). There were about 8 people working in the food prep. area on a Tuesday night. some unique rolls were available, however the seafood options were much more extensive. Our orders were promptly completed and delivered, however the bill payment process was very slow (perhaps I should have used a credit card). There were two of us, we ordered bottle Saki, one roll, 6 pieces sushi, two oysters, and 12 pieces sashimi, our bill was $118. I would definitely go again.
We love dining at Tamura! The service and food are always spot on and delicious. Tamura San is there whenever we done there, so it's nice to see the owner be hands on with his preparations of food.
Had the tasting menu and it was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Chose to sit at the sushi bar and received a lof attention from the chef. Wonderful.
Amazing food and specialty cocktails. I took my fiance there for a special occasion and they made me look like superman. So impressed with their efforts to make us feel special. Recommend 100%
The food was fresh, delicious and ample. Loved the presentation!
I met a friend for lunch and we both agreed, it was the best we had in a long time. Food was excellent. Service was great from the minute we sat down and were given a warm washcloth for our hands. The bento style lunch was excellent. The panna cotta dessert was the perfect end to a really wonderful meal. Highly recommend it and will go back again soon.
great brunch for 25. it totally worths the money. it was very quite whole time when we were there, so service was also great. i highly recommend their weekend brunch!
Enjoyed the omakase menu. Seven courses were delicious And beautiful! Great presentation!
The sushi here is excellent. They are all beautifully prepared. We also liked the hamachi collar, the black cod and the maguro with green salad.
Once again, an exceptionally delicious omekase meal prepared by the inestimable Chef Taichi Kitamura and his great staff. I'm already savoring my next visit to Kappo Sushi Tamura . . . .

A Saudi man in his 50s has married a school principal, a teacher and a student in the same high school and a supervisor in a different school.
Lessons in love: Saudi man marries schoolgirl, teacher and principal
"It is a rather strange and unique case," a teacher in the same school as three of the four wives told Saudi Arabic daily Okaz. "We often talk about it and all the teachers and students see the fun part of it," she said.
She added that the principal did not take advantage of her leading position in her attitude towards the other two wives, her subordinates, or of the supervisor when she conducts inspection visits in the school in Jizan in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
"The principal treats the teacher and the student normally, like she does with the rest of the staff and students," she said.
Online comments criticised the multiple marriages, saying that the age difference was socially wrong.
"Can he cope with the mental, physical and material pressure to bring up children or will he just turn them into street kids?" Zeezo wondered.
Another comment advised him to start a new school while one commentator said that he should take up a position in the school.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I purchased these invitations for my destination wedding in Cabo, Mexico. I think the design of these are very different from most wedding invitations and has a very fun and festive look, which is the look we were going for. Our wedding will take place on the beach, so these were a perfect fit for us. It was very easy to design and shipped super quick."
"My fiance and I did a fair amount of playing around with the card and text. The first proof was not exactly what we wanted, but it was edited and sent to us in a day with our changes, and we couldn't be happier! It's so fun and unique; a great change of pace from the typical wedding invitation!"
"We ordered these in the pearl finish with rounded edges for our destination wedding on the beach and they couldn't have been more appropriate! the colors are bright and the paper quality is excellent. They look great combined with the metallic pocket folds!"
"we personalized and ordered this card for our small (55-60ppl) beach wedding. we loved that it was totally relaxed, and different, just like our event. the paper was great quality, the colors were bright and vibrant and the card was just so different that it caught our eye from our first google search. we had people calling us to tell us how much they loved our invites and how fun and different they were. never heard of that happening! the company was super easy and accommpdating to work with adn we came back to order thank you's from WPD. thanks!"
"This invitation was exactly what i was looking for! Nothing too fancy but very fun and to the point of what we are doing for our wedding. I love the textured paper they used for is, that is a very unique feature to it. The delivery was very fast, it came earlier than they quoted. I would recommend this to anyone that is having a beach wedding."

When cooking, hotter isn't always better. A rolling boil can break apart food when all you need to do is cook it at a gentle simmer.
If you want to make a great pizza at home, experiment with these tips and taste the difference.
Halloween candy can be repurposed for holiday baking and other kitchen projects.
It's commonplace to see the phrase "nonreactive saucepan" in recipe directions but rarely does the recipe explain what that means.
There is a lot of fuss nowadays about Halloween, with whole drugstore aisles devoted to ghoulish greeting cards, and entire pop-up stores, big ones, shilling amputated limbs.
It's time to carve out some extra space next to those ugly Christmas sweaters as an ever-growing slate of festive apparel and accessories celebrate kitsch as cool.

What do the Mormon Utah Compact leaders have to say about Mitt Romney's self-deportation ideas that affects Latinos?
Friday, September 28th, 2012It's weird. You can almost hear the crickets in the air — but what do the Mormon Utah Compact leaders have to say about Mitt Romney's self-deportation ideas that affects Latinos?
We have applauded The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS / Mormons) for their compassionate views towards the undocumented immigrants. In fact, LDS their top leadership has embraced the Utah Compact which is modeled after the Plymouth Compact.
So what happened with their own Mitt Romney?
Why haven't any of the Utah Compact leaders spoken against Romney's self deportation ideas?
Where are they?
Don't the Mormons know that we know they are spreading the gospel in Latin countries, but their own member (Mitt) of the LDS Church is advocating the booting out of my people?
Why hasn't the Mormon Church taken Mitt Romney's temple card away the same way Catholics deny the Eucharist to "pro choice" politicians?
Now before you accuse me of being anti-Mormon, make no mistake …. we have been protesting the corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio at his own Catholic Church, too. In fact, we wrote a letter to Bishop Olmsted asking him to publicly denounce or deny Arpaio the Eucharist since mysterious Mexican-American deaths are occurring in the Maricopa County jails. You can read our entire letter to the Bishop here.
Speaking of Arpaio, Arizona voters like me will never forget how Mitt Romney made the corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio his Arizona chair when he was running against Senator John McCain in 2007.
It's no wonder our Nation is so broken and barely holding on. Heck, we can't even look to religious leaders anymore to be strong voices that would help the voiceless, the poor and so on. While politicians are supposed to be ethical, it used to be that religious leaders were supposed to have better moral standards. Somehow, we have grown into a society where religious leaders are now afraid to say what people are thinking due to political correctness.
I hope more Mormon leaders will continue to see that anti-immigrant self-deportation law(s) in a way resembles the Mormon Missouri extermination order. Both SB 1070 and the Missouri Extermination Order advocate mass exodus in order for people to flee persecution. We have witnessed mysterious deaths in the Maricopa Co. prisons, the chaining of pregnant women while they give birth, and people have been killed in our state since the Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB1070 into law — and I believe much of this has to do with how political leaders view those of Mexican descent.
I recently read a story regarding how Romney is holding on to his Mormon faith through political rise — and this is confusing to me considering how he will not support bipartisanship ideas on the treatment of fellow man via immigrants. I am not questioning Romney's salvation, but I do question how he will not support the Mormon leaders in Salt Lake City, Utah, via the Utah Compact.
We will be watching how the Mormon leadership will finally publicly react to Mitt Romney's self-deportation ideas.
While Mormon missionaries go to Mexico, I hope they remember that one of their own via Romney is supporting hurtful self-deportation of my people in the Nation that was built by immigrants to begin with.
Que triste.

My partner and I want to open a franchise restaurant. I primarily want to incorporate to protect against random lawsuits. We haven't decided between fully funding ourselves or seeking investors. If we were to go down the investors route does an already formed LLC with two shareholders accommodate the giving out of equity at a later point?

No. Professional investors will not invest in an LLC. You need to be a C Corp in order to get external funding. That said, you could start as an LLC and convert to a C Corp later on, if you decide to raise money. This option will end up being more work for you if you do decide to look for investors, but it will save you the upfront hassle of forming a C Corp unnecessarily. | |||

The enormous earthquakelast November along Alaska's Denali Fault buckled highways and shook the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. But the magnitude 7.9 shock also set off surprising swarms of small tremors thousands of kilometers to the south. This discovery is convincing geologists that far-reaching effects—only recently documented—are very likely a common result of most major shocks.
The Denali temblor is the third major earthquake in the West in the past 10 years known to have caused smaller quakes. The other two were in southern California: the Landers earthquake in 1992 and the Hector Mine quake in 1999. All three quakes affected the same geothermal volcanic fields in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rainier in Washington State, and several sites in Cali fornia. These fields, which are hot springs fu eled by magma roiling deep underground, normally rumble at low levels. But the sec ondary quakes that were triggered far ex ceeded the background seismicity, and re searchers aren't quite sure why.
Alaska's quake, which was centered about 283 kilometers (176 miles) northeast of An chorage, sent out a train of seismic waves. It could have caused a subtle expansion and contraction of the earth's crust, which in turn could have tripped faults that were on the edge of failure. That's a tidy explanation for the earthquake swarms that immediately followed the Denali shock. But some of the secondary tremors occurred a day or more later, indi cating a more complex scenario at play.
Many researchers have cited gas bubbles in the magma chamber to explain the delay. Geophysicist Alan T. Linde of the Carnegie Institution of Washington suggests that the passing waves can dislodge the bubbles, which typically stick to the walls of the cham ber like champagne bubbles to the sides of a glass. In addition, the seismic waves might stir the magma enough to create new bubbles, notes geophysicist Emily E. Brodsky of the University of California at Los Angeles. In ei ther case, as the bubbles rise, they expand, thereby increasing pressure in the fluid. They may also expand and contract as seismic waves pass through them, further changing the pres sure, according to Brodsky. The pressure changes deform the overlying rocks, possibly jarring certain faults into action.
Magma bubbles may not be the only pos sible earthquake triggers. In Greece, Brodsky has found that hot springs are fueled not by a magma chamber but by changes in the pres sure of fluids coursing through underlying crystalline rocks. Crustal deposits from the mineral-laden fluids frequently clog channels that the fluids once followed. Seismic surges from a large earthquake might crack those seals, Brodsky says. The change in pressure from renewed fluid flow is enough to start earthquakes on tiny nearby faults, a process that would apply to the hot springs in Cali fornia and Yellowstone.
Magma bubbles and cracked geothermal seals can't account for all the secondary quakes, however. North-central Utah shook as well, but that area is a nonvolcanic, non geothermal zone. Moreover, the region saw a weeklong increase in seismicity, a phenomenon that bubbles and cracked seals cannot explain.
Research geophysicist Michael Blanpied of the U.S. Geological Survey coordinated the analyses of the Denali earthquake. He says that the Utah rumbling makes him more in clined to rely on stress changes solely from seismic waves. He points out, though, that multiple mechanisms may be responsible for the variety of events. Denali provided an enor mous amount of data over a broad area, but ultimately, Blanpied says, they "didn't answer any questions." It may take more tremors for the theories to shake out.

Read enough boating articles, and you'll come across a lot of wacky, weird, and surprising tips.
Some may do more harm than good, some are just plain wrong, and some… well, let's just say they're rather bizarre. Which are the weirdest ever? These tips—all of which contain some valuable knowledge—certainly take the cake.
1. Carry pantyhose in your tool kit. Yeah, it sounds weird, but this is actually a really good tip. Pantyhose can be used as an emergency belt for your engine, emergency rope, an emergency bandage, and as an emergency filter. Besides, you never know when a leggy blond will be aboard, and need an extra pair.
2. Buy some Bissel carpet cleaner. Hmmm… sounds a bit odd for a boater, sure, but in fact this is the one substance known to mankind which will take sun-baked chum stains out of virtually any surface or fabric.
3. Keep potatoes close at hand. Yes, potatoes. But these spuds won't be used for making fries. Instead, it's good to keep 'em around because they make great shape-shifting plugs which can be jammed into holes, or busted seacocks.
4. Pee on yourself. Eeew, yick! But don't get disgusted just yet—this old trick works wonders when you get stung by a jellyfish. Pee has lots of ammonia, which will help take away the pain. If, that is, you can stand the stink.
5. Don't use Windex on the windshield. It's actually OK if your boat has a glass windshield, but most don't. Lexan or similar plastics make up the bulk of the windshields used on boats, and if you put Windex (or similar ammonia-based cleaners) on them, they grow cloudy with age. Just for the record, don't pee on them, either.
AND THE WINNER IS: Stick a screwdriver in your ear. Yeah, that sounds like bad advice, but if you place the handle-end of a screwdriver in your ear and hold the head of the driver against your engine, it can be used more or less as a stethoscope. Remember high-school physics? Sound travels through solids better than through the air, so you'll hear engine taps or misses far more clearly than you otherwise would.

Possible problem with a member of your community? Flaming, sprite theft, and other good stuff!
Posted 23 July 2011 - 06:57 AM
Also I'm not sure this is exactly the right place to put something like this but I read the rules and poked around a bit and this seemed like as good a place as any really. Apologies to the staff around here if not.
Anyhow, getting to the point. I searched your members and failed to find a guy named "londonbreksa", either because he's got a different name here, isn't here anymore, was never here to begin with, or I'm retarded and dicked something up when searching.
Reason this person is important is mainly because of this video.
It appears to be some sort of shoddy promotion for MegaMan X9 (your site here and possibly a game?)
Stuff like this is common on the internet and poses no problem, except for at 1:24 there's a cute little image that's displayed for several seconds.
The sprite on the bottom right, with the wonky black aura, was a villain I used in an old sprite comic like a bajillion years ago. It's a pretty lame sprite but eh, I was like 15 whatever that's not the point.
I left a silly passive-aggressive comment ("I like the part where you used my sprite without permission.") and got on with my day. You won't see that comment though because the user in question deleted my comment, left quite the nasty comment in response, then blocked me.
This is kinda dumb because I don't really care about the old sprite that's kinda crappy, nor do I particularly care about retards on YouTube. I've just had a really really bad week, and an even worse day, so part of me is hoping that if this guy is a member of this site (an assumption I made due to him promoting it), bringing this to the community's attention and getting him punished or at least squeezing an apology out of him will make me feel a little better. :P
Not that I really expect anyone around here to care about my problems. Just thought I'd give it a shot~
Thank ya'll for enduring the wall of text! Any replies not telling me to go fuck myself much appreciated!
Posted 23 July 2011 - 07:15 AM
The one to the left of yours is also stolen. I dunno who actually made it, but it was intended for and still in use by the member Zero_v2.0.
That art at the very end on the right was also stolen. It was made by the member Arby Works for the Armour Contest.
And the song itself is from Newgrounds Audio Portal, also without any credit given.
Anywho, checking his actual channel page, he was so kind to leave a link directly to his profile on here: http://megamanx9.com...136-killtoy666/
Now, given he hasn't directly violated the rules of the forum, I don't really have much reason to take action against him, sorry. You could try messaging him directly on here. I'll be sure to also bring it to the attention of Arby and Zv2 if they don't see this already.
Posted 23 July 2011 - 07:34 AM
Also thanks for your civility. As an administrator of another site/forum myself I guess I can understand not taking action if he hasn't actually violated any of the forum's rules.
I also feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one he jacked sprites/artwork/everything from. :P
And furthermore I appreciate you linking me to his profile. I don't know why I didn't think to check his YouTube profile initially. Just been one of those days I guess.
I may write him a message tomorrow when my mood has improved (to assure civility on my end.) I'd hate to come busting in here and acting like a tool, I try and make a good first impression when I enter a community. :P
Even if I don't write him though I guess I could be happy with anyone else seeing this and at least thinking he's a douche.
Either way, thanks for your help!

Posted 23 July 2011 - 08:48 AM
Yay sprite theft, amirite? I didn't know our own community had such good sprites that everyone would think to steal them. I think we're pretty average at best.
I guess we should be flattered?
Posted 23 July 2011 - 09:41 AM
I think you, Xero, Reaver, Renegade and ZTRL are amazing, while Cem, myself, Ed, Zaf and Scarlet are average.
How did you not know I was here? I kinda did tell you all about the Maverick Contest.
Posted 23 July 2011 - 10:35 AM
And I don't pay attention to stuff. You tell me a lot of things and it kinda goes in one ear and out the other unless it doesn't.
Yes that made perfect sense.
Hey we're doing what probably qualifies as spam. I'm off to a good start.

He took something I made (albeit a pretty lame thing I made) and used it for a video on YouTube neither crediting me nor asking for my permission. Then proceeded to insult me.
The problem could have been as simple as "Oh sorry, I'll credit you in the description." Or even him just ignoring me, since I really didn't care that bad and that would have been that. But instead he was a bit of a raging douche, so I'm kinda blowing it out of proportion a little. :P
Regardless, I sent him a message on the forum here politely requesting that he either credit me in his video or remove it. I guess we'll see what happens next, as I still haven't received a reply.

Obamacare: You're not insured until you pay
If you want to be insured come Jan. 1, you have to pay your first month's premium by your insurer's due date, often Dec. 31. Sounds simple enough, but federal officials and insurers are concerned that many consumers don't realize they have to take this last step and will remain uninsured.

Innovative Design,
Contemporary Crowd
DDS is a leading provider of software management to the media and advertising industry. Formerly located in Mayfair, DDS sought to create a more youth oriented, yet sophisticated, interior to attract a younger demographic—partly by changing location, but also through avante garde design.
Structure Tone helped transform 30,000sf of shell and core floor plate to Cat B (full tenant fit-out) commercial office space. The work included:
- comms room finished to high standard to become focal point of office
- open plan office space
- meeting suites
- breakout areas
- high quality finishes throughout
- café
- data centre
Most interesting is the implementation of a number of new products brought to use in different applications. These include reconstituted glass floor tiles bonded to a raised floor system, oak veneered perforated ceiling panels, green slate floor street area and altro red studded safety flooring.
The open plan office provides square glass meeting pods and features a glass 'reglit wall' fronting the communications room. This is visible in the main reception area, providing a real time view into DDS' business operation. Additionally, it gives a range of different styles of working, from formal meetings to more relaxed dialogue and collaboration. Being completely open-plan has removed hierarchy and enhanced communication.

For any musicians or theory geeks... you'll get this. I wrote this a while back.
I love you in five-eighth time
Like many would play a song
The pulse of my heart irregular
An odd thumping of five-eighth.
Some may waltz,
Affection in three-four,
Some others march to the tune
Of a harsh, brave alla breve
And some others will love
As most do
In a simplistic four-four.
Yet, my heart chose this rhythm
An odd one, not used by many
In hopes that someday,
Together, our hearts
Will beat both
In five-eighths.

What do callers think about the headphone's built in mic quality?
What do people call the iPhone think about the voice quality of the built in mic on the HK headphones. Does it have reasonably good voice canceling? Does the voice sound clear?

It doesn't come with a noise canceling mic so in a quiet environment, it's fine. But won't work well when you're surrounded by other noises.

I found the mic not that good. I had to repeat myself often and the caller could almost not hear me in noisy environments and by noisy I mean walking along a suburban street with moderate slow traffic.

Okay, now they are coming forward with vids and pix. I guess they had to come out of the festival and then recover a bit before posting lol.
Two of your huge fans from Malta took some BAD#ZZ pix. And are glowing and so excited about the show. They said you ROCKED!
Talk about LOVE, they got front stage just off center despite 79,000 other fans being rowdy and wanting in. They sat there ALL Fahreakin' day for you. Mariella is a tiny little thing. Bruised arms and battered bodies, they withstood for a long time until finally being pushed back 3 rows by the crowd. Mariella had never seen you ever, it was a life dream to. Same with her guy Carmel.
THAT my friends is the kind of love I'm talkin' about. =0). We all love you Ozzy, and can't get enough of you and your shows.

The Flu Season
The Flu Season
In the Northern hemisphere, winter is the time for flu, but the exact timing and duration of flu seasons vary. While flu outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time flu activity peaks in January or later.* The figure below shows peak flu activity for the United States by month for the 1976-77 through 2010-11 flu seasons. The "peak month of flu activity" is the month with the highest percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza virus infection. During this 35-year period, flu activity most often peaked in February (16 seasons, or 46% of the time), followed by January (7 seasons or 20% of the time), and March and December (which each peaked during 4 seasons, or 11% of the time).

Fairfield Inn was a great place to stay. Great breakfast. Shuttles to Subway. The shuttle doesn't run after around 10:30 PM. From Empire State Building back to room was $20 for 4 back to Fairfield Inn. Rooms clean. Everyone friendly and helpful. Shuttle drivers helpful. Lacking on restruants but they told us about a bar that was walking distant. Bar […] had great food. Grandkids liked eating there. Couldn't ask for a cleaner or nicer motel. It's in an industrial site but never felt like I was not safe. We visited the Empire State Building, 9/11 Memorial, Center Line Cruise, Museum of Modern Art, saw "Annie" on Broadway, Times Square, MSG, Rockefeller Center, Battery Park, Central Park, Staten Island Ferry, Public Library, & so many more places. We rode the subway, buses and water taxis and tried to see as much as the city as possible. Visiting Queens, Brooklyn, Hoboken, Long Island, China Town, East Side, West Side, Soho, Greenwich Village, & Staten Island. The city was amazing and the people were friendly and helpful. You can get to all of this from the shuttle bus to the subway. The subway ticket you can ride the bus with the same ticket. Doesn't take long from shuttle bus to subway. Or subway to any attraction. No need to drive in NY traffic. My family said it was the best vacation and they would go back. 911 Memorial Museum opens in 2014 and hope to see that next time.

The hotel staff were always nice, efficient, and very helpful. Breakfast is one of the best I've had in all of North America. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though a bit small. The hotel had 24h coffee and tea available and fresh fruits were offered all day at the lobby. Didn't use the gym, but great to have. I would like to point out also the […] shuttle service of the hotel to the subway - wow!! Easy, convenient, free and again with such courteous drivers. Would recommend EVERYONE that want an affordable stay in NYC!! Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
IF NOT LOCATION I WOULD GIVE SCORE 5+. It is nothing to do around. However, the shuttle takes you to subway station every 30min, and only 6 stops between you and TIMESQUER. Probably, the cost of subway is equivalent of your car parking (if you arrived to New York on car).The staff is super nice, helpful, welcome and friendly. The room was comfortable […] enough for 4 people (two adults and two late teenagers). Very clean and tide. The breakfast was including wide range of offered ingredients, appropriate to different tests and priorities. As soon as something going to finish the staff filling it immediately. The are accommodating guests during the meal, moving tables per needed. The lobby is nice, bright, clean .Some fruits in the basket, if you want. The coffee and different kinds of tea 24/7 avalable. We liled the place very much. If you don't mind to spend 20 min. of your time for arrival from hotel to most popular place in New York and safe at least $100 per night, you definitely will go to this HOTEL.

There is no shuttle service to the airport which is kind of a pain. We stayed at the hotel on two separate occasions and the first night we asked where the shuttle takes you and we were told only the subway. Our second stay we were told there were a list of restaurants they could take us too as well. One of our nights out my friend and I went to see […] a broadway show. The last shuttle service was at 11pm. I called at 11:05pm explaining we were at a show and just got off the subway and they wouldn't come get us. The area looks sketchy and I was NOT happy that they made two young girls walk back to the hotel!! There were no cabs in sight to try and pick one up anyways! On the morning we were leaving to go to the airport I had asked for the front desk to call a cab and to have it there by 7:20 am. A cab never came and then the gentlemen at the front called a private driver which tried to rip us off!!! If I ever go back to New York I wouldn't stay here, I would definitely spend the extra money to be in a nicer neighborhood and closer to the city. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

The hotel itself it fantastic however the surrounding area is quite run down and initially made me feel I had made a bad decision.

Little distance from the Subway, but hotel provides a bus service every 30 min. Be aware the last bus is 10:30 so if you are going to a show or ballet you will have a 15 min walk back to the hotel or will need a cab. Other then that the hotel was very nice.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
