- Intraday stock price effects of ad hoc disclosures : the German case (2005)
- This paper examines intraday stock price effects and trading activity caused by ad hoc disclosures in Germany. The evidence suggests that the observed stock prices react within 90 minutes after the ad hoc disclosures. Trading volumes take even longer to adjust. We find no evidence for abnormal price reactions or abnormal trading volume before announcements. The bigger the company that announces an ad hoc disclosure, the less severe is the abnormal price effect following the announcement. The number of analysts is negatively correlated to the trading volume effect before the ad hoc disclosure. The higher the trading volume on the last trading day before the announcement, the greater is the price effect after the ad hoc disclosures and the greater the trading volume effect. Keywords: ad hoc disclosure rules, intraday stock price adjustments, market efficiency.
- Automated ANN alerts : one step ahead with mobile support (2005)
- In this paper, I examine the potential of mobile alerting services empowering investors to react quickly to critical market events. Therefore, an analysis of short-term (intraday) price effects is performed. I find abnormal returns to company announcements which are completed within a timeframe of minutes. To make use of these findings, these price effects are predicted using pre-defined external metrics and different estimation methodologies. Compared to previous research, the results provide support that artificial neural networks and multiple linear regression are good estimation models for forecasting price effects also on an intraday basis. As most of the price effect magnitude and effect delay can be estimated correctly, it is demonstrated how a suitable mobile alerting service combining a low level of user-intrusiveness and timely information supply can be designed.

text: I live in Pompano. I had PE around 30 weeks, 2 weeks after my father died. I ended up with C-section at 34 weeks. My daughter had IUGR but was otherwise healthy. I am very thankful for the good outcome. I have been reading about so many of you that lost your children and my heart aches for you. I am trying to decide when to try for another child. I am scared that it is selfish of me to want another. I dont want to end up dying with PE and leaving my daughter without a mom. Any thoughts?

I was searching for a quick way to compare two date & times to determine which was newer but was unable to find anything easily modifiable. I cobbled this code together and it seems to work just fine. I'm sure there is a better way to do it but I am pretty new to this. Any questions or suggestions please let me know.
So I've been working on this for a little bit. I wanted to make something where you could have a registration system for all scripts that wanted to support this kind of thing. For example if you had a casino script or trivia script that wanted to register users, you could do so with this script for both of them (assuming they were compatible). I would definitely like to collaborate with mIRC script..
Hello everyone I need help with a Request Script. I want users to request there problems and send it to the Users on the Users List. Here is the script.
Syntax: !filler animeName episodeNr
Syntax: $formatdate(date, dateformat)
This is a first version of a dialog to quickly make an HTTP request with socket, I'll improve it later. Load the code and type /http_tester to open the dialog

Join us in Rome, Italy, and earn 15 or 30 hours of continuing education credit with the most advanced marriage and family therapy training available!
Featured Presenters and Workshops
Presented by David Schnarch, PhD
Many couples have sexual problems, and marriage and family therapists often find these hard to treat. Couples with severe relationship or personal problems are particularly prone to sexual difficulties, and often fare poorly in treatment. However, MFTs are uniquely positioned to provide much needed help. The skill sets and expertise in systemic intervention that MFTs possess make them prime candidates for delivering cutting edge sexual health care which is systemic to its core.
This Institute offers a paradigm-changing view of human sexual desire, and a multi-faceted clinical approach for resolving sexual difficulties in difficult cases. The positive psychology-based Crucible Approach integrates sexual and marital therapy, self-differentiation, brain science, and interpersonal neurobiology, to help highly troubled couples create desire, passion, personal growth, and better relationships simultaneously (Schnarch, 2009, 1991). Workshop format includes deconstructing case examples and intervention strategies, mind-mapping (Theory of Mind) applications, neuroplastic training activities, and spirited lectures and group discussions. Counter-indications and treatment risks will be considered.
What better place to learn about love, sex, and intimacy than in Rome, with one of the world's foremost experts!
Presented by Mark McKergow, PhD
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) has been around for 25 years since its inception by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg and their collaborators at BFTC Milwaukee. During that time the work has evolved and developed. However, the writings on SFBT tend to stick close to the basic questions and practices, and have not reflected the latest ideas and developments. As a result, many practitioners may find they are using old and sometimes superceded methods. The course is open to all with some SFBT experience – particularly those who would like to update, refine and expand their practice.
During this course we will be looking more closely at how Solution-Focused (SF) work is evolving. These developments include both trends towards even more minimal intervention, as well as connections to wider philosophical paradigms from Wittgentstein to extended mind to enactivism. How much more can we do with how much less? What are the ethics implied in taking an SF stance? How can we (and out clients) stay clear of muddles and find emerging routes to better lives? And when might it be better to find another way to make progress?
The course will be a lively and participative event with stimulating inputs, collaborative discussions, and engaging activities. We will be using some video and transcription from actual sessions, and participants are invited to bring their own recordings for discussion. Participants can also look forward to making progress with their own lives, workplace issues and relationships as we explore SF ideas in theory and practice.
Presented by Anna Mascellani, PhD and Maurizio Andolfi, MD
In this AAMFT Course in Rome in June 2015 the Authors want to present a multigenerational-systemic method of intervention: instead of controlling children mis-behavior through medications or with individual psychotherapy or counseling , they aim to create a therapeutic alliance with the adolescent and the family by working with them as a team and exploring relevant family events to link them to the presenting problem.
Our method is inclusive, looking for relevant resources: family of origin, siblings, friends, pets, community members and hospital staff are all included in different occasions in the session, expanding the social network of the family and searching for emotional support and solidarity.
The model of intervention that will be presented in this Course is experiential with therapist playing an active role, being direct, authentic and empathic with the family, able to stay close the clients' pain and despair and on the other hand to respond positively to their hope and desire for change. The main tools used to create a therapeutic alliance : provocation, support, humor, metaphors, curiosity, playfulness, self-disclosure, sculpting will be illustrated with video segments of family consultations .
MFT's will be able to clarify their own ways of working with teen-agers and describe at least two theoretical approach to adolescent's psychopathology : one focused on symptoms and use of appropriate medications, another one more "humanistic" aimed to reframe mis-behaviours and create connections and bonds inside the family.
The Multigenerational Family Therapy ( MGFT) Method elaborated by Maurizio Andolfi and Anna Mascellani at the Accademia di Psicoterapia della Famiglia in Rome is described in their recent book Teen Voices. Tales from family therapy 2013, wisdom Moon. San Diego CA and some of their findings will be discussed with MFT participants.
Presented by Mary Hotvedt, LMFT, PhD
In many places in the world we are experiencing large displacements of people from third-world nations who are seeking asylum and /or economic opportunity in first-world countries. In third world nations we see crises of massive unemployment, overcrowded refugee camps, children orphaned by war and AIDS, and institutionalized marginalization and violence against women. The needs and expectations of these individuals and families present a multitude of challenges to social service and mental health fields, the practitioners often left to deal with issues not addressed adequately by governments.
This course is designed to give MFTs systemic ways of thinking about multicultural social models and working with clients affected by these megatrends. Participants will be introduced to several examples of intervention on behalf of clients; the examples will be drawn from several countries. Through the participation of Dr. Lorena Cavallieri, MFTs will learn about the work and art of the therapists and cultural translators of Fondazione Silvio Andolfi in Rome.
The course will allow for a great deal of interaction in large and small groups. We will also use a casebook to discuss the ethics of transcultural work in both the first and third worlds. Participants will clarify their own ways of working with multicultural cases and situations.

Right when I'm settling into a happy routine of sweaters, wool socks and layering, the temperature spikes up to the mid-80s. I shouldn't be surprised. It's just like you to do this, Midwest—every damn year. Ah, well. When summer is as fleeting as it is in the northern half of this region, you've gotta cherish every last day even if it comes in the middle of autumn.
And when you find a piano on an abandoned freight railroad track, what do you? You were going to say "take some senior pictures," right? Right. (You're all invited to my high school graduation in two years.) Thankfully, the talented Rob Culpepper was on hand and in the mood to shoot some medium format film on the Bloomingdale Trail, Chicago's undeveloped and still super-secret future answer to New York's High Line.
A note on the trousers: Dockers? Yeah, you read that right. Your dad's favorite brand has updated some of its offerings with more tapered silhouettes that look like like khakis but wear like jeans. They're called Alpha Khakis, and I've been wearing the hell out of 'em. Along with a second green pair, they've become fast favorites.
It's still fall, right? I got hooked on yerba mate in Argentina and have it with me most days when it gets late in the year.
On Seth: Indian cotton button-down (sale $30, reg. $75) by J.Crew; "Alpha Khakis" in British khaki (sale $59, reg. $68) by Dockers; natural veg leather belt by Cause and Effect; thrifted loafers by Giorgio Brutini; "Weekender" watch ($25) by Timex with Horween leather strap ($95) by Buckshot Sonny's.
Oh, and if you're a Mizzou Tiger, you're headed into a special weekend. Cam and I will see you at Homecoming, suckers.

Ross Pearson on Ryan Couture: 'I don't think he's on my level' - MMA Fighting
"I definitely feel he's going to come in prepared, I definitely think it's going to be the best Ryan Couture we've seen, but no, I don't think hes on my level," he said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I don't think hes fought the level of competition I've fought. I don't think he's been fighting UFC-caliber guys forever, really, so no, I don't think hes on my level. If things go to plan he won't last very long in there with me.
"I'm not taking him lightly," he continued. "I'm not overlooking anything. I'm preparing for a tough fight. I know Ryan's durable. I know Ryan can take a shot, and I know Ryan's game. So he brings some threats to the table. I just got to be on my A-game, sharp, strong. Knowing how powerful I hit and how fit and strong I am and letting him know how much I want to fight. I've got to own this fight and I've got to perform well, show him what the UFC is all about."
Pearson recently had his own lesson to learn, stemming from his move down to 145 pounds. At the time he made the move, having lost two of three at 155, it seemed like the right call in rejuvenating his career. But he only fought twice in the weight class, and hated nearly every second of it. In fact, he said it made fall out of love with the sport.
The experiment unceremoniously ended at the hands of Cub Swanson, who finished Pearson with strikes last June.
Pearson credits Swanson for the win, saying he was the better man who won fair and square, but feels the cut depleted his ability to take strikes. Between the calorie restriction needed to make the featherweight limit, his unwillingness to discard his weight-training regimen and the decreased capacity to withstand strikes, Pearson made up his mind that lightweight was the best place for him.
"I knew at 145 I couldn't be the best Ross Pearson," he said. "I'm much happier at 155. My weight and diet, everything's perfect. I train right up to the fight. I could lift pre-camp, and being healthy, it's just a much more natural weight for me. I'll be turning up to fights 100 percent."
He showed that in his first fight back in the division, battering George Sotiropoulos and knocking him down twice en route to a third-round TKO.
Apparently, Pearson wasn't even the first member of his camp to knock out Sotiropoulos. According to him, during taping of TUF: The Smashes, some ongoing tension between coaches on the U.K. and Australian teams led to a situation where Aussie coach Sotiropoulos sucker-punched UK boxing coach Erin Beach from behind. According to Pearson, Beach fought back and ended up knocking Sotiropoulos out.
"Obviously the UFC wasnt happy about what happened," he said. "It was just ridiculous really, George doing that and not even fighting him like a man, cheap-shotting him when he wasn't even looking. When I said all the things I said on the show, I wasn't lying. I did lose all respect for George. I still don't respect him now."
With that part of his life in the rearview mirror, Pearson continues to look ahead. While he believes himself to be the superior fighter over Couture, he credits Couture's ability to scramble and grind as dangerous fight trends that will require his constant attention. But the rest of it, the fight skills and power, they bend his way. As long as the show goes on, he plans on putting on a show.
"I'm just not a British banger anymore. I'm a full mixed martial artist," he said. "If he wants to fight on the floor, we'll fight on the floor. Wherever he thinks hes going to take the fight, hes going to be wrong because Im winning there. I'm just going to take the fight away from him, beat him everywhere. I believe Ive got the power in my hands, my feet, my knees, my elbows to finish anyone in this division. If I land that shot, Im know I'm going to finish Ryan."

Daily Tip: How to link Facebook, LinkedIn contacts
After sharing a tip on how to link Exchange and Mobile Me contacts, we were asked to cover how to link Facebook and LinkedIn contacts to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch as well. Done. Follow on after the break to see exactly what you can and can't link, and some cautions on what you might and might not want to link.
To link your Facebook and/or LinkedIn contacts to your iOS contacts you need to use the free Facebook and LinkedIn apps from the App Store. Chances are you already have them, but if not grab them first:
- Facebook [iTunes link]
- LinkedIn [iTunes link]
- Launch LinkedIn
- Tap on Connections, middle icon on the left
- Tap on Download All, top right menu bar icon
- Read the warning. It says LinkedIn doesn't upload any of your contact info, only downloads contact info from LinkedIn
- Tap on Download all new connections
Depending on how many connections you have in LinkedIn, it could take a while to download. Once it's done, your LinkedIn contacts should be new or updated in your Contacts app. You can tell by the LinkedIn icon stamped on the bottom left corner of any new or updated contact.
- Launch Facebook
- Tap on Friends, top icon on the right
- Tap on the action button, top right menu bar icon
- Tap on Sync Contacts
- Toggle the Syncing slider to ON
- If you want to sync pictures too, toggle the Replace photos slider to ON
- Read the warning. It says Facebook will upload all your contacts to Facebook.
- This scares the $#!+ out of me, so at this point I personally hit Cancel. If you and your friends are okay with this, however...
- Tap Sync Contacts
Again, depending on the size of your contacts, it may take a while to sync. Once it's done, your Facebook contacts should be available as new or updated entries in your Contacts app.
Note: If a you're the friend of a colleague at work and they have a party picture up as their Facetime profile pic, hilarity might ensue the next time you get a business email from them...
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to firstname.lastname@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward…)

Daily Tip: How to link Facebook, LinkedIn contacts
I did this in the past and ended up with a lot of duplicated contacts. This is an area where HP/Palm has a decided advantage over Apple because webOS will link the duplicates resulting in a single unified contact with all of the content rather than 2 with partial information in iOS. This is one of my pet peeves with iOS. With the long rumored new cloud services maybe we'll see this change.
you spelled FaceBook FaceTime in the note
I use Contacts XL to grab the bits of information I want from friends' Facebook profiles and import it into Contacts. It's a one way process, and only happens when I want it to.
Can anyone help with the pics being shrunk down when you do this?
that really scares the hell out of me using Facebook sync.. linked in is much better in that sense
Another good method is you could also simply use a website like:
They make it an easy process to import Facebook friends to LinkedIn.
I've been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
My webpage :: eml to outlook
Appreciate the site. I've bookmarked your website in my browser to follow-up with later. Thanks again!

To the OP. I wonder why you still think it might be possible TESO is oldschool and hardcore.
Im no hater and i will judge the game once its out but im quite sure it isnt what you hope it will be.
I think the single player elder scrolls games have dumbed down enough to let you know what kind of audience they are targeting. Wich is imo a sad thing. but its how it is these days

The OP has some valid points. Surely it becomes obvious to the industry that just churning out dumbed down games that get dumber over time and with each patch just do not retain a player base. Also, like some of the replies here, many gamers are not prepared to put up with the old harsh penalties and difficulties of games past. With this in mind, is it not possible for the creators of these games to be more flexible; creating a MMORPG that's easy to play at a basic level - but can offer a deeper experience and challenge for those that prefer it. I don't know - i'm no game creator but for example... a veteran option, say sign up with an ingame guild or ruler, this would offer slightly higher XP gain - for the risk of losing some on death, or another penalty.
Zones where you know full well that the creatures encountered may loot some of your stuff or imprison your toon ( in game alt available or roll one to affect a rescue) The permanent removal of in game challenges just removes the point in playing. Things given and not earned just have less value. People enjoy a challenge, and as long as it's not just foisted on them then many will opt for a deeper experience. Most gamers have commitments with job and family, a more flexible approach would enable casual play and the occasional weekend late/all nighter.

Clearly mmos of late have not lived up to expectations because of things such as auction houses and mini maps.
Where the fuck do some of you come up with these things?
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

TESO is not even trying to avoid those "traps" you mentioned. It's 100% aiming for the casual crowd, the "WoW" crowd if you like. On top of that, it's trying to fool as many TES fans into thinking it's going to be Skyrim Online, when the game is pretty much GW2 with TES graphics slapped on top.

Lets use the example of a recently released sequel to a successful MMO. The game is essentially divided into zones, and in each zone, you can do the following things:
- Heart quests
- Skill points
- Find waypoints
- Points of interest
- Group Events
- Vistas

Every next zone follows the exact same layout as the previous one. Do you see how a game can become shallow and repetitive if you remove all the 'inconveniences' or 'chores'? Do they honestly expect me to do the same exact thing over and over again in 25 different zones? It became boring when I reached the third zone.
The games don't make you do anything aside from your mob killing loop. Even all armor and weapons can be conveniently acquired from lizards, mammoths, deers, bears. Oh the horror of actually having to stop what you are doing, and figuring out how and where to acquire better gear, instead of being handed gear left and right. Why would a lizard carry around a steel mace of shock, or a bear live in some forest with a leather helmet of archery?
You don't have to figure ANYTHING out on your own, the game is built up in a way that all the time you have a clear goal, and you know exactly step by step how to acheive it. If you go near a heart, it gives you a detailed description of what the NPC requires, without ever having to go even within 50 meters of that person. The overall shallow feel is caused by the sum of the little streamlinings, not the individual parts on their own.
Do you see how absurd this has become? You can acquire a quest without even speaking to the NPC.

You want sandbox, but that is not gonna happen in ESO they are going to start beta, it is too late to remake whole game. I dont even think there is any AAA sandbox with lots of players, because hardcore crowd is pretty small compared to people who like themepark games.

When you get $50-$100 million dollars of investment, you sure will do the best research to deliver the maximum profitable product for the largest player segment.
I'd love to see any research that shows differently.
Maybe folks don't realize that AAA game companies actually do extensive research about what will sell the most?

Blizzard seems to hold steady year after year, but most other titles (except maybe EVE) fail to grab people, they tend to consume MMO's as they do single player games. Burn through the available content, maybe create an alt or two for replayability, and then leave until the next content expansion comes out.
I'm starting to believe that the long term subscriber base today actually is about the same (relative) to what it was back in 2002, the big difference is the introduction of the more casual player who jumps in and out of them in short order.
Means the design of the game has to recover most of its cost in the first 3 months or less, so they can cut back and ride out the rest of the lifecycle at a much smaller scale.
In my day MMORPG's were so hard we fought our way through dungeons in the snow, uphill both ways.

I think they might be assuming that casual player = dumb player. You can play a very complex game casually, and enjoy it. Why does everything have to be streamlined? Do casual MMO players want a game which basically insults their intelligence? I would assume they don't.

Since the name alone is raping the IP, game has nothing to do with the Elder Scrolls story, I would say it doesn't take a genius to see they are just on the money wagon here. With being forced into a faction in a game world that should be factionless means it isn't even keeping to what the game Elder Scrolls is famous for. It will do the 3mo fail like all the other themepark trash that has come out in 10yrs.

"I shall take your position into consideration"
I am convinced that the game will be casual. It will most likely include most of the features which you described as negative on your list.
The game is designed for masses which expect these features to be present in the game. I doubt we will see many AAA games which are not casual released in the future.
AAA games have high costs. In order to generate profit, you need high revenues. The more copies you sell, the higher revenues you have. Casual games attract largest number of players. Therefore, they generate highest revenues which exceed the COS and generate profit. Hardcore oldschool game would unlikely sell enough copies to cover the costs related to development and maintenance of AAA game.
Pitty, but that is how it works.

The problem here is that AAA MMOs are some of the most complex projects and delivering on all that is planned and staying on budget is extremely difficult.
So features get cut and the released product is nowhere near what the initial research called for.
It is a serious problem, the evidence of it is obvious, just look at swtor and many other recent releases.
Look at end of nations - Trion had to fire the Dev studio and take it in house to fix it.

another thing op, why don't you like TSW? it isn't casual and streamlined in any shape or form compaired to the usual mmorpgs. It doesn't guide you and hold your hand, their investigation missions are pretty intense if you wanna do them on your own without googling a guide, etc etc.
or age of wushu, pretty deep intense sandbox game with so many possibilities.
why don't these games appeal to you? I think you just don't know what you want, since such games are there, yet you refuse to play them.

Actually I have 3 full sets of 10.4 gear in TSW, with the occasional 10.5. I have done the raid 30 times. I have the 5 minute kill acheivement of the raid. And I have completed every single NM dungeon. Oh and I have collected and read every single piece of lore in the game.
Under the surface, TSW is not deep. The background story is deep, but the game mechanics themselves are not. They make an illusion that it is deep, by having engaging and unique quests. But if you strip away the quests, and look at your gameplay that is not related to completing a specific quest, there isn't really all that much.
Only the skill wheel stands out as a positive thing. Trying to come up with builds was actually fun.
I consider gameplay depth and lore depth to be completely different things.
The faction conflict is shallow. It only consists of 3 PvP minigames, which, needless to say, only serve as a gear treadmill and have no risk involved.
Every single point I listed in my first post, is present. Provided, some of them aren't directly present, but you can use certain easy methods to get around that.

All MMOs end up being the same in some way shape or form. You can't get around that. You have to keep in mind that 90% of the 'gamers' in the MMO community are WoW only 'gamers'. They started with WoW and only know WoW. So when they go to a new MMO they are highly dissapointed because they don't have any background as to different aspects of gameplay.
Back in 1999-2004 you were lucky if you had 100k players in an MMO...now they expect 10+ million. Well a good percentage of those millions haven't a clue as to what they are talking about or what they want in an MMO. They call themselves gamers but don't take the time to step outside of their box. They will be the first to tell you they can't stand WoW and want a game that is different.
WoW set the bar becasue the majority of people who play it don't play games. The best way to get out of this rut is play the game because you like it. Don't worry about what reviews say or what other people say just play the game. We all followed SWTOR so close and it was hyped so much and became a let down for a lot of people. It's just like when you go to the movies. Your are so excited about a new movie that when you watch it it's not very good because you overhyped it in your mind.
Don't fall into that trap with ESO and remember; you will never find a group of 100% like minded players in any of these MMO's.
Oh and to respond to the OP...sounds like you should stop playing MMO's. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Ottney: Tough Mudder proves true to its nameWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
I can't pinpoint exactly how I first heard of Tough Mudder, but I like a good challenge and I knew immediately this was one I wanted to take.
Taglined "Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet," Tough Mudder events are "hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all-around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie," according to its website. Born as a Harvard Business School project and now hosting events around the world, the organization has drawn more than a million participants and raised more than $5.7 million for the Wounded Warrior Project since 2010.
During the weekend of June 29-30, I joined about 16,000 people taking on the 12-mile, 20-obstacle course at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.
Three-and-a-half hours later, limping and covered in mud, I crossed the finish line to claim victory and my hard-earned orange sweatband.
With names like Walk the Plank, Kiss of Mud and Trench Warfare, each obstacle offers a unique challenge.
The worst by far was Arctic Enema, which involves submersion in a tub of ice water. I couldn't feel my legs for the next half mile.
Third-time Mudder Jason Failing, 26, of Perrysburg said the obstacle is actually easier when it's colder.
"My body was so cold last year, it didn't feel much colder," Failing said. "I was sweating this year so it was a drastic change in temperature."
Electric Eel — a belly crawl through shallow muddy water while trying to avoid getting zapped by dangling wires — was the most exciting, said Philip Meck, 25, of Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.
"It was great watching everyone trying different methods to try and not get shocked," Meck said. "I got shocked about 20 times. The shocks to the shoulders hurt the most."
Kate Kelley, 38, of Toledo thought the hardest obstacle was Funky Monkey, a more intense version of the classic playground monkey bars.
"The bars were just too far apart for me to grab. Plus, my hands were muddy, the bars were muddy and my arms were pretty tired by then," Kelley said. "I got across two bars and had to let go into the pit of muddy water and swim the rest."
Her favorite was Fire Walker, where participants jumped over flames into a pit of water.
"It was intimidating, but exhilarating," she said.
Josh Curie, 27, of Detroit said Bale Bonds — stacks of round hay bales to climb over — was the toughest obstacle, while Erica Bechaz, 24, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who grew up on a farm, thought it was the easiest.
Meck's least favorite obstacle was Boa Constrictor, which involved crawling through a series of narrow pipes.
"I'm 6-foot and have wide shoulders so it was rather hard for me to get up the tunnel out of the water," Meck said.
Phillip Dahlhofer, 29, of Haslett, Mich., believes there's no single obstacle that's the hardest, but that the event is more of a "cumulative stress that gets to you over time."
That's where encouragement from teammates and fellow participants comes in — that and most people need help to overcome at least a few obstacles.
I was planning to run with a team, but through a series of mishaps, we never found each other and I ended up running alone. I needed a boost over Glory Blades, Berlin Walls and Everest, but found quick and ready help. Warrior Carry, an obstacle in which one person must carry another, can't be done alone.
Tough Mudder is billed as "not a race but a challenge." Participants are urged to put teamwork before course time.
"You can't help but feel the camaraderie as you run," Dahlhofer said. "Even when I ran solo last year I was amazed how quickly people started to work together and help each other out."
Kelley agreed.
"My hamstrings started to seize up around the seventh mile, which was excruciating," she said. "I could barely jog through all the mud. I ran with my friend Jamie and she was great in helping me to keep moving. I just kept thinking, 'You don't have to be fast; just keep going forward.' It was grueling!
"I couldn't believe how great the other competitors were with helping. Everyone in our heat kind of kept an eye out for the rest of the competitors and kept the encouragement going."
Bechaz said she especially noticed the camaraderie at Everest, a 15-foot-tall quarter pipe.
"Everyone turned back and made sure the next person jumping had a helping hand to pull them up," she said. "Some people were up there helping for quite a while."
Failing ran with a team of 23 people. Each ran at his or her own pace, then waited for their teammates at each obstacle. They linked arms and ran through the finish line together.
Several participants said they wish they would have run more beforehand.
"I did not run nearly enough," Meck said. "My advice to people thinking about doing it would be to run, and then run some more. Training for running is the most important. People can help you over obstacles, but no one can help you run.
"You do feel the camaraderie," Meck added. "There is a real feeling that you don't want to let your team down."
Everyone said the feeling of achievement was the best part.
"I felt so awesome and badass when I crossed the finish line," Curie said. "I wished they would have timed it because I knew I did well. Mentally, I felt amazing. What kept me going is knowing that we are capable of doing so many things we feel are beyond ourselves if we just focus and push ourselves. I loved the looks I got from all the people who had not run the event when I was leaving. I was like, 'Yup, I just did it!'"
The lone sour spot on the weekend was getting sick 24 hours later. The Michigan Department of Community Health is investigating an outbreak of norovirus among participants and spectators. Several hundred cases have been reported, but a cause has not been determined. However, the news is not enough to discourage most participants from signing up again.
"I would do it again in a heartbeat," Bechaz said.
Dahlhofer and Failing both love Tough Mudder, but are looking for new challenges. Failing is thinking about the team challenge GORUCK while Dahlhofer's next goal is World's Toughest Mudder, a 24-hour Tough Mudder competition.
"You can't help but get swept up in the excitement of a Tough Mudder once you get there. After your first Tough Mudder you gain a lot of confidence," Dahlhofer said. "Advice for anyone interested is train hard and just do it. Life is too short to live with regrets."
Cost is $85-$180. Those who don't feel ready to enter the course can walk along the route as spectators for $20-$40. Spectators are appreciated for shouts of encouragement, snapping action shots, helping their loved ones hobble back to the car and driving home while they nap.
Organizers of Tough Mudder don't like to see the event compared to other mud runs, but those who can't wait for next year can get a taste of the experience at The Survival Race, a 5K coming to Holland on Sept. 28, or Zombie Race, a 5K or 15K coming to Holland on Sept. 29.

- Monitoring cortical excitability during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with ADHD: a single-blind, sham-controlled TMS-EEG study (2012)
- Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows non-invasive stimulation of the human brain. However, no suitable marker has yet been established to monitor the immediate rTMS effects on cortical areas in children. Objective: TMS-evoked EEG potentials (TEPs) could present a well-suited marker for real-time monitoring. Monitoring is particularly important in children where only few data about rTMS effects and safety are currently available. Methods: In a single-blind sham-controlled study, twenty-five school-aged children with ADHD received subthreshold 1 Hz-rTMS to the primary motor cortex. The TMS-evoked N100 was measured by 64-channel-EEG pre, during and post rTMS, and compared to sham stimulation as an intraindividual control condition. Results: TMS-evoked N100 amplitude decreased during 1 Hz-rTMS and, at the group level, reached a stable plateau after approximately 500 pulses. N100 amplitude to supra-threshold single pulses post rTMS confirmed the amplitude reduction in comparison to the pre-rTMS level while sham stimulation had no influence. EEG source analysis indicated that the TMS-evoked N100 change reflected rTMS effects in the stimulated motor cortex. Amplitude changes in TMS-evoked N100 and MEPs (pre versus post 1 Hz-rTMS) correlated significantly, but this correlation was also found for pre versus post sham stimulation. Conclusion: The TMS-evoked N100 represents a promising candidate marker to monitor rTMS effects on cortical excitability in children with ADHD. TMS-evoked N100 can be employed to monitor real-time effects of TMS for subthreshold intensities. Though TMS-evoked N100 was a more sensitive parameter for rTMS-specific changes than MEPs in our sample, further studies are necessary to demonstrate whether clinical rTMS effects can be predicted from rTMS-induced changes in TMS-evoked N100 amplitude and to clarify the relationship between rTMS-induced changes in TMS-evoked N100 and MEP amplitudes. The TMS-evoked N100 amplitude reduction after 1 Hz-rTMS could either reflect a globally decreased cortical response to the TMS pulse or a specific decrease in inhibition.
- Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica : a multicentre study of 175 patients (2012)
- Background: The diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) has been intensively studied. However, little is known so far about the clinical impact of AQP4-Ab seropositivity. Objective: To analyse systematically the clinical and paraclinical features associated with NMO spectrum disorders in Caucasians in a stratified fashion according to the patients' AQP4-Ab serostatus. Methods: Retrospective study of 175 Caucasian patients (AQP4-Ab positive in 78.3%). Results: Seropositive patients were found to be predominantly female (p < 0.0003), to more often have signs of co-existing autoimmunity (p < 0.00001), and to experience more severe clinical attacks. A visual acuity of ≤ 0.1 during acute optic neuritis (ON) attacks was more frequent among seropositives (p < 0.002). Similarly, motor symptoms were more common in seropositive patients, the median Medical Research Council scale (MRC) grade worse, and MRC grades ≤ 2 more frequent, in particular if patients met the 2006 revised criteria (p < 0.005, p < 0.006 and p < 0.01, respectively), the total spinal cord lesion load was higher (p < 0.006), and lesions ≥ 6 vertebral segments as well as entire spinal cord involvement more frequent (p < 0.003 and p < 0.043). By contrast, bilateral ON at onset was more common in seronegatives (p < 0.007), as was simultaneous ON and myelitis (p < 0.001); accordingly, the time to diagnosis of NMO was shorter in the seronegative group (p < 0.029). The course of disease was more often monophasic in seronegatives (p < 0.008). Seropositives and seronegatives did not differ significantly with regard to age at onset, time to relapse, annualized relapse rates, outcome from relapse (complete, partial, no recovery), annualized EDSS increase, mortality rate, supratentorial brain lesions, brainstem lesions, history of carcinoma, frequency of preceding infections, oligoclonal bands, or CSF pleocytosis. Both the time to relapse and the time to diagnosis was longer if the disease started with ON (p < 0.002 and p < 0.013). Motor symptoms or tetraparesis at first myelitis and > 1 myelitis attacks in the first year were identified as possible predictors of a worse outcome. Conclusion: This study provides an overview of the clinical and paraclinical features of NMOSD in Caucasians and demonstrates a number of distinct disease characteristics in seropositive and seronegative patients
- Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex (2012)
- The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with behavioral consequences on motor control and adaptation. Here we sought to induce bidirectional spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP)-like modifications of motor cortex (M1) excitability by application of paired associative stimulation (PAS) in healthy subjects. Conditioning stimulation over the right lateral cerebellum (CB) preceded focal transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the left M1 hand area at an interstimulus interval of 2 ms (CB→M1 PAS(2 ms)), 6 ms (CB→M1 PAS(6 ms)) or 10 ms (CB→M1 PAS(10 ms)) or randomly alternating intervals of 2 and 10 ms (CB→M1 PAS(Control)). Effects of PAS on M1 excitability were assessed by the motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude, short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), intracortical facilitation (ICF) and cerebellar-motor cortex inhibition (CBI) in the first dorsal interosseous muscle of the right hand. CB→M1 PAS(2 ms) resulted in MEP potentiation, CB→M1 PAS(6 ms) and CB→M1 PAS(10 ms) in MEP depression, and CB→M1 PAS(Control) in no change. The MEP changes lasted for 30-60 min after PAS. SICI and CBI decreased non-specifically after all PAS protocols, while ICF remained unaltered. The physiological mechanisms underlying these MEP changes are carefully discussed. Findings support the notion of bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in M1 mediated by associative stimulation of the cerebello-dentato-thalamo-cortical pathway and M1. Future studies may investigate the behavioral significance of this plasticity.

Stank booty you say? Precisely what I...suspected.
Also, MTV's choice for Best Movie of 2012...
Oh goodness will you just look at that
Sounds about right.
Second to last flic I saw was Dark Knight Rises, much was expected but still enjoyed. Had to leave the last 50 minutes for another viewing as my arse was sore after the first two hours.
Jen got me to watch Let the Right One In the other night, damn sweet movie. Fought back tears at the final scene.
You know what broke my heart? The last five minutes of the last Rambo movie.
He walks down that lonely road to his parents' house and he doesn't know if there's anybody waiting for him. After everything he did, he's just another Dorothy. He just wanted to click his heels together and go home.
You know what's better?
First Blood.
It's a long road...
Seriously, that film was fucking worthwhile. Then they reduced it to dumbass action.
His name is Bernard Cromwell.
Rewatched Predators and The Expendables.
There's something about the way Predators goes "Hey, remember that bit in the first movie where..." every five minutes that gets really irksome on a repeated viewing. It really fucks up the finale, too. Royce uses the fires to hide his heat signature, but he puts on mud because Dutch did it (and because everyone loves that bit in Predator). It's utterly pointless and in a way would briefly cool him down, making his fire plan pretty redundant.
I don't care much for The Expendables, but goddamn, I hate that thing with Jet Li where he says he has a family, but then he doesn't have a family, he just wanted more money. That ain't character development, that's just padding!
Got a choice between Green Hornet, Real Steel and The Next Three Days - which one guys? Or all?
The constant callbacks in Predators are a drag on an otherwise decent enough flick. You'd think that somebody would've taken notes on how cringeworthy the references were in the AVP flicks.
I really didn't like The Expendables, but had a pretty good time with the sequel. They improved on a lot with part two.
- - - Updated - - -
I don't remember much about The Expendables, the first time around. I remember being a bit bored, though. Watching it again, I realise why - for a big film, it's on a tight budget, so nothing happens. It's just Statham and Stallone having a really weird bicker for 90 minutes, then they remember there's four other Expendables in the script and shoot up something or other.
The movie needed a lot more Terry Crews. Most movies he's in do.

Hello. I am writing as a very concerned donkey owner to ask you to put pressure on your local middle school to reconsider hosting a donkey basketball game on February 21. These games may appear to be funny and enjoyable, but the animals are suffering for the enjoyment of people. Is cruelty to animals for the sake of raising money really something you want to teach the children at your school? There are other much more humane ways to raise money that do not do so at the expense of the animals.
Most people do not realize how much weight a donkey can carry on its back – we see pictures of the "beasts of burden" in other countries and it desensitizes us to what is safe and right. Donkey expert, Vicki Abbott, says, "The maximum safe loadweight is 25% of a mature donkey's own bodyweight. Mature is when they have a full mouth of adult teeth, until they do have all of their adult teeth, they are physically immature and should not carry any loadweight except their own body. So let's say the donkey is a 7 year old 48" gelding. His bodyweight in good condition would be about 500 pounds, making his maximum loadweight 125 pounds, but say he is a pudgy little fellow who tips the scales at 540 pounds. You would need to reduce his loadweight by the 40 pounds of blubber his frame is already burdened to carry, leaving his loadweight capacity at 85 pounds. That 85 pounds has to include the weight of the pack saddle and pack, or the weight of the saddle and rider."
Consider that most people riding these donkeys do NOT weigh 85 – 125 lbs. Therefore the weight they are putting on the donkey's back and joints is causing damage that is irreparable, regardless of what the donkey owners tell you. They are making money off your use of the donkeys.
Donkeys are gentle, quiet and stoic creatures. They do not show their pain outwardly (with my own donkeys, I have to be especially vigilant to identify when they are ill or sore because even though I know them well, they will hide pain from me). In addition, donkeys live for many years (the average age in First World countries is 30 – 50 years) and the emotional scars of being thrown into a strange loud environment, pushed, pulled and smacked around and carrying strangers on their backs last a very long time. I have dealt with rescued donkeys and I can guarantee you their trust in humans is very difficult to get back after being mistreated in such a way.
I ask you to please push the school to reconsider the donkey basketball game. If they wish to use donkeys in your fundraising, please look into humane donkey events like agility competitions, coon jumping competitions or pack burro racing instead of something so inhumane.
Thank you for your consideration.

40 Scrumdiddlyumptious years: Celebrating 'Willy Wonka'Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three.
"I've produced or directed approximately 170 films," director Mel Stuart said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "But I started in the documentary world. One of my first jobs was as a film researcher for Walter Cronkite's program 'The 20th Century,' which goes back about 55 years.
"By accident, I met a man named David Wolper and he gave me my first job as a director. It was easier in those days to get a job as a documentary filmmaker than as a feature filmmaker, that was one thing. And I knew I wanted to be in films. I'm not a writer, but I do like to direct.
We have so much time and so little to see. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.
"I managed to meet so many people and be in so many situations that I would never, ever be able to reach in normal life," Stuart said of his documentary work. "I've had the chance to be with presidents of the United States. I've been with scientists, I've known Einstein. I've been with football players and baseball players and everything under the sun, and was able to enter worlds that were not part of the normal person's life. That's why documentaries can be a very attractive way of making a living."
"On the other hand, I've done many movies-of-the-week and some features. And that's another world where your imagination can go to work, like in 'Willy Wonka.' And you create a world of
fantasy or whatever you want," Stuart said. "And that's also fun — they're both fun. But in my life, I've done more documentaries, nonfiction films, than fiction films."
"'Wonka' came about in the strangest manner," Stuart said. "The reason 'Willy Wonka' was made into a picture is because my daughter Madeline, then 11, came up to me at dinner one night 40 years ago and said, 'Daddy, I want you to make a picture about this book I just read. It's called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."'
"And I said, 'I don't do children's books, Madeline. I do serious work, documentary, etc.' And she said, 'Daddy, I don't care. I want you to make a picture of this book.' I said, 'Stop it.' She said, 'Daddy, I want you to make a picture of this book!'
Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.
"I took the Roald Dahl book to the man I worked with, David Wolper — I was the president of the company, he was the executive," Stuart said. "And he said, 'What's it about?' He didn't want to read it, he didn't want to bother. I said, 'It's about a man with a chocolate factory, and there are five kids, and the kids come in. And one of them is a good kid, and the four are bad kids. And the good kid gets the factory.' That's all he knew about it.
"And a few days later — and this is our business, where luck is so important — we went to Quaker Oats to talk about some documentaries that they were doing. And one of the people said, 'What have you got about chocolate? Quaker Oats wants to make a chocolate bar.' And Dave Wolper went into this insane pitch. 'We've been working on this picture for two years! This is dear to our hearts,' blah blah blah blah blah. And before you knew it, Quaker Oats had given us $3 million to make 'Willy Wonka.'"
"If you ask me now, I can't tell you," Stuart said when asked how such a richly imaginative movie was made on such a small budget. "One thing we did do, we didn't have all the money that we could have used. So one of the things we did was, I did it in Munich, Germany, I didn't do it here. Because Munich, in those days — we're talking about 1971 — was much less expensive than doing it in the United States. So we got a lot more for the buck than we would have here.
"And then, I had brilliant, brilliant, brilliant — Harper Goff, our designer, who was a genius, and he did '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,' and many other pictures. And he was the man I knew would be perfect for it," Stuart said.
"I didn't want you to know where the factory was. I didn't want you to know what time it's in. You'll notice there are no automobiles in the movie. I wanted it to be forever, so I didn't want to date it in any way.
"So since most people don't know what Munich looks like, that was a good start," Stuart said.
The suspense is terrible … I hope it'll last.
"We started to think — the most important part, of course, was Wonka. And Wonka, we were thinking about — we were offered Fred Astaire, but I thought he was too old at that time, and he wasn't quite right. Somebody else offered us Joel Grey, who was a great actor but a little bit short — we needed somebody who was more commanding than the kids," Stuart said.
"And one day, Gene Wilder, who had just finished 'The Producers' but wasn't that well-known yet, walked in and he read a couple of lines from the book. And in my heart, and my brain, everything, I said, 'He's Willy Wonka.' We were casting him at the Plaza Hotel in New York. And I'll never forget, I ran out and said, 'You've got the part!' before he could leave.
Oh, you should never ever doubt what nobody is sure about.
"We finished the movie, and we liked it, and thought it was very good. And I was very happy with everything in it," Stuart said. "And we put it in the theaters, it was being distributed by Paramount Pictures. But Paramount Pictures at that time, I forget who was in charge but had a very stupid person in charge. And the Radio City Music Hall wanted to play it, to open it. Which you couldn't do better. And this person, whoever it was, said, 'Nah, it's only a kids' picture, we'll put it in the Bronx and just drop it out.' They didn't think it had a future. And it died.
"And it started playing on cable, and it got bigger. And you must remember, in those days, that VCRs were coming in and eventually the DVDs. And then cable took it up, and we were playing somewhere in the country every week; you'd find 'Willy Wonka' somewhere. And it caught on with children.
So shines a good deed in a weary world.
"And I think one reason why it did was because they could see it, it was in their homes. And I made it for adults — the most important thing. I did not want to make a Disney movie, I don't like Disney movies. I wanted to make it as well as for an adult," Stuart said.
"Then, when they grew up, they would like it and show it to their kids."
But Charlie, don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.
What happened?
He lived happily ever after.
A 40th anniversary Blu-ray package of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" will be released Oct. 18, featuring a copy of Stuart's book "Pure Imagination."

Mayhem is going to have a very bad ending if he continues this way. It is sad but it is true.
I am not a fan of him and I never was. I always found him to be a goof (sometimes hilarious) but a very good fighter aswell.
Now it looks that he is on drugs, he is doing some crazy shit and if he does not get any help soon, his future is not very bright to say the least.

What keeps you up at night?
Today's service providers are confronted by radical changes to their business environment, and while they have been largely working to create leaner operations, the mechanics of doing business has changed in the past three years leading to transformations in the business model.
The world is moving into the age of 'Wikinomics' and this means that tomorrow's world is all about collaborative working enabled by digital transformation, and not the siloed type of business environment of the past.
Hence, communication service providers need to open up their platforms to enable mass collaboration. That platform could be a product (e.g. voice), a software module (e.g. Google Maps), a transaction engine (e.g. Amazon), a data set (e.g. Customer Profile), or countless other things.
The convergence of IT and networks is opening doors in all services strategies of operators – whether it is about complementing traditional telecom services with cloud service wraps, or influencing service execution by decoupling network intelligence and placing it within the control of business policies.
The emergence of OTT providers shows us that services development has shifted from traditional networks to devices and applications. Clearly, IT is becoming the way that even traditional services will be modelled and operationalized, and Users are evolving from mere consumers to active participants.
'Born Digital' organizations are not restricted by legacy technology, business process and thinking, and are disrupting traditional business models through innovations in customer experience and engagement, service management and delivery, and product structures; whereas, traditional CSPs - given the complexity of their estates - are finding it difficult to make the tectonic shift because not all of them are invested across the maturity curve to improve their connectedness with the business ecosystem.
For service providers to succeed in the future, they will have to participate in every transaction that involves communication and collaboration. That is only possible if their assets are broken down as a service and made available for third parties to consume. The future revenue model is a two-sided one – from innovators consuming Operator assets (as services) to produce mashups and services, and from consumers using those mashups and services.

With that all the rumours of him being offloaded by real madrid should die. No one is going to take a gamble on an injured 50 million pound player.
it would probably just as good for real. Kaka was very weak last season and i believe Real will manage without him available! but omg. it is crazy to think about the £50million they spent on him!!!
correction, they spent 56 million on him and yes with one go-to-guy in ronaldo, they will play better, just like manyoo did.

Three Hawks Hit Out of Park In Loss
- Release Date:
- April 9, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – After big conference wins over the weekend, the Hilbert College softball team suffered two losses at home today. Hitting was not a problem for either team in the opening game as they combined for a 7 home runs. Medaille College jumped out to a big lead and carried that to a 16-5 win. Hilbert rebounded and held a 2-1 advantage through two innings in the second game before the Mavericks scored seven unanswered runs and rode to a 13-2 nightcap win.
Jaelyn Gotham started in the circle for Hilbert, but after six batters, and a 6-0 score, Natalie Whitman rotated in and finished the game. Medaille's first six batters connected for 3 home runs which put the Hawks in the early hole. Elissa Hall and Kayla Lansberry found the ball in the bottom of the second inning to enter Hilbert into the Home Run Derby and the Hawks waited until the 4th inning for Kateland Ball to join the party.
Lansberry finished with 3 hits and Hall followed with 2 and they both earned double baggers. Hilbert had one fewer hit than Medaille (13-12) but stranded 7 runners on base.
Katie Pettis knocked in Eliza Stringham to put the Hawks on the board first in the second game. Medaille responded with a score before Hilbert netted another run from Pettis' sacrifice fly in the second inning. Medaille added 3 runs off their four hits in the third before grabbing four more runs in the fourth to pull away. Brittany Hancy finished with three hits, scoring one run.
The Hawks have a few days off before they travel to Altoona, PA on April 14th for their 2pm double header match against PS Altoona.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

This scoop-neck bebe tee is a great staple to amp up any casual outfit. Add a hint of edge when you layer with a chain link necklace and a pair of metallic skinny jeans.

- Machine wash
- Made in USA
- Center back to hem: 21" (53 cm)
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 3 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by CaliGirl42 Faded after one wash I loved this t shirt when I purcahsed it, but unfortunately I wore the shirt once and washed it by itself in cold water no bleach and the letters on the shirt faded! :-) Poor quality. Shirt not worth $29.... November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lola267 Comfortable and Chic I love this tee - it's very basic, but I love the message on it. It hugs your shape nicely. I normally wear a S in tees, but I got this in M because it was the only one left in store; a size up was a little looser, and I could wear the tee off the shoulder with a pair of skinny jeans.

If you are a non-resident who receives income for services rendered in Canada, you may have to report this income by filing a Canadian income tax return with the CRA to determine your final Canadian tax liability.
Exceptions to Withholding:
If the non-resident believes that their final Canadian tax liability will be less than the amount withheld, they may request through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to reduce or waive the withholding accordingly. A request for a reduction or waiver for withholding should normally be filed 30 days before the services are to begin in Canada, or 30 days before the first payment is due for these services.
Whether we withhold the 15% of whether it is waived, we require the following information to be included on the cheque requisition:
- Full Name
- Professional Name (if different from the individual's name and if applicable)
- Mailing Address
- Country of Residence
- Number of days in Canada for the work for which they are being paid
- Home Country's tax identification number
