No idea in American society is more pervasive than the notion that we all owe a debt of gratitude to the young men and women who have volunteered to fight our foreign wars. This nearly universal belief flows from a sense of collective guilt that the veterans of our previous Asian adventure in Vietnam were not welcomed home with appreciation for their sacrifices and were somehow held responsible for America's first losing war. This attitude was especially unfair since many of the participants in that conflict were draftees who had little choice about their service.
Now, in the face of widespread uncertainty about whether the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were worth fighting, we nevertheless are determined to show the people who fought them our respect and admiration. Everyone in uniform these days is accorded heroic status, and those who are killed receive individual news coverage impossible during Vietnam.
All our wars, of course, are justified as struggles for freedom. This goal deserves further discussion and understanding before we ask our young to die on its behalf. It is difficult to see what essential American freedom has been at risk during these longest wars, undertaken out of reflexive fear after the attacks of Sept. 11. Our insecurity enabled us to believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction or that the terrorists in Afghanistan were a threat to our way of life. We had been, in fact, well and truly terrorized and were determined to retaliate against somebody. From the point of view of those seeking to hold or achieve political power it was useful to stoke these fears. Richard Nixon was wrong about many things, but he was right when he said, "People react to fear, not love — they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true."
And so we were plunged into these wars, and the military we had to fight them was made up of people who for reasons that seemed good and sufficient to them had elected to be soldiers. Amid the jingoistic enthusiasm that accompanies the beginning of every war, they became our heroes. "Navy Seals rock!" Katie Couric said on national TV. Their early successes were trumpeted ("Mission accomplished"), and for a while we all felt good about ourselves. Then they started dying, mostly in decidedly unheroic ways like being blown up at random by roadside bombs. Then we saw the photos from Abu Ghraib and had to accept that perhaps they weren't all heroes. More recently, we have been witness to atrocities that have made it apparent that asking people to risk their lives repeatedly for ill-defined objectives in faraway places where we are not well-liked can take a terrible toll.
We seem required to learn over and over a painful lesson: Wars are easier to start than to end. Echoing Vietnam, we have heard about the need to "stay the course" while we train indigenous forces to take over the fighting. Whenever I hear this argument, I think of two other things we should have learned by now: 1) it is telling that the people we are fighting don't seem to need more training, and 2) it is impossible to train a man to risk his life for an idea.
We certainly owe a debt to those who have borne the battle on our nation's behalf. In these wars of choice we have required them to do so over and over. They and their families are tired. They are, in general, neither heroes nor villains. They volunteered (albeit with insufficient information) to be where they are and do what they do. Like the Roman Legionnaires of old they have chosen to fight their country's foreign wars. Whether they made the right decision, only they can say. We at home who have come to largely ignore these conflicts as they dragged on into pointlessness, and we cannot fully comprehend the costs to the young people who have been there. They deserve our support and especially the best treatment we can provide for those who will carry the emotional and physical scars of their participation into the rest of their lives.
But in asking our troops to don the mantle of heroism so we can feel better that we ourselves have sacrificed nothing, we risk missing the cost that all wars extract from those who fight them.

Sigur Ros/Jonsi
[i]Whyyyyyy[/i] has this thread not been created earlier? You all know this band - they need no introduction! Okay, so, my personal view on Sigur Ros is I really love this band and adore every sound that comes from them. Each time I listen to it its like I'm listening to it for the first time and the songs really create an emotional response in me. I personally think Jonsi is the most amazing, beautiful, incredibly talented, wonderful muscian of our time, on our earth. He makes the most amazing music and is a really kind person too. I love that hes a vegetarian, openly gay and is just seems so peaceful and happy with life you know. I'd just like to share that I am a strong believer that Sigur Ros are the most euphoric and talented musicians our planet posses. And I feel somewhat priviledged in my life, to know their music you know. I spose its kind of hard to explain and I mightn't make a great deal of sense but thats just how I feel.. They're really something special to me. (: [img]http://alblog1.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/artists-sigurros.jpg[/img]
I really love Sigur Ros too! I can't believe there isn't a thread! I've never known about the lead singer, and am really glad to hear he's such a spectacular person! there is such tangible emotions in each and every song.
Ooh I love Jonsi! When I read anything about him it's always really nice stuff that makes me happy that people like him exist. Sigur Ros is really great if you want to focus on something, because the music is soothing and if there's no known language to focus on people tend to direct their attention on something else more. My favorite song by them is probably Svefn-G-Englar, with my favorite album being Agaetis Byrjun. ( ) is a close second, though, because I really love that Jonsi sings in Vonleska (Hopelandic). It really communicates a lot of emotion, and I like the idea of using the voice as an instrument rather than just for lyrics. Edit: Also, Jonsi's solo album, Go, is really, really amazing. I like that it doesn't sound anything like Sigur Ros, and has a much happier feel. The part in Animal Arithmetic where he switches from English back to Icelandic just kills me; it really does.
the only Sigur Ros albums I have are ( ) and Takk. I'll have to check out Agaetis Byrjun next! I really love finding musicians that I love everything about. I feel that way with Noah, in the way that everything he says I connect with very deeply. He's a person I respect very much. At some point i'll have to check out his solo stuff too!
Agaetis Byrjun is my favorite by them. I do have a hard copy of ( ) that I listen to when I need some time to think. Their textures are absolutely gorgeous. I didn't like the latest one too much, it was too folky.
I have yet to listen fully to the new one. I've only heard Vid Spilum Endalaust off of it, and I really liked how happy it was.
The album is certainly a lot more cheerful than their other works. Theres a lot of emotion in that album I reckon. Definitely give it a listen soon.
Is anyone else that is currently here into Sigur Ros? I've been so in live with their live album, Inni, and have listened to it so many times, got it on vinyl (its clear oh my) and listened to it so many times and I love writing and living to it and now i'm listening to () for the first time in ages and I forgot how down the whole album is but I can like...feel the stress getting washed off of me as I sit and soak in it. Sigur Ros has definitely catapulted to one of my top favorite bands.
Sigur Ros used to be half my life. What I used to do was bring my speakers into the bathroom when I showered, and I turned off the light. If you bathroom echoes, I am certain there is never a better experience (especially while listening to the song Von!). I don't really listen to them much anymore, not sure why. I'll probably get back to them later.
That sounds like an awesome idea.
3rd fave band Jonsi's Go was so so underrated. Ágætis Byrjun is their best
and HEIMA!!!! oh god, don't even get me started on how much I love that movie.
I loved Go and Agaetis Byrjun and also ().
sigur ros is one of my favorite groups too. listened to festival today driving up from the everglades while it was raining. just a perfect mood and setting for it. really incredibly beautiful stuff, it made me cry a little.
I almost bought Heima recently at my local record store, wish I had. I still haven't listened to Go yet, though I obviously need to. Sigur Ros makes me almost cry a lot, it's really moving music for sure.
Inni? they should have a companion album called Outtie! (AUDI!) i couldn't STAND ( )! AB had their highest highs but also put me to shleep! for years i avoided Von hearing it was horrible but it was actually kinda cool / weird? gobbledy gook was a FANTASTIC AC gripoff song! and over half of Go! (GO!!!) was really where i wanted siggy to GO! it was super fun / upbeat! i guess the best siggy related thing was def. life aquatic and the "siggy shark" i'm afraid to see that movie again because that part made me cry and i kind of want to leave it as that special thing! ... esp. crying in the actual movie theater... oh god? it's so intense / embarassing but amazing too...
outtie... lolol
hey, i'm really starting to enjoy sigur ros' music a lot more than i used to. i'm gonna get some stuff of theirs, but i want to know if anyone has opinions on what i should get. tell me tell me! what's your favorite sigur ros? so i can make it mine, too.
Agaetis Byrjun is my favorite album by far from Ros.
Added to uTorrent queue. Moar!
I don't know all of them but the live album is fantastic, especially with the video added in.
Agaetis Byrjun is the best, Tak... is quite good, Von is an acquired taste (I looooove the title track).
What.CD has spoiled me. I just started downloading a 16-bit lossless rip of a mint vinyl copy of Agaetis. Fucking sweet, I can't wait to listen to it. If anyone else wants that, I will absolutely reup for you. It's like having a brand new record each time! Except in 16-bit sound. 24-bit sound would be ideal, but my ratio isn't high enough to nab that one right now. It's over a gig in size and is more inconvenient to listen to than an actual record.
This is barely related to your post Dave, but I listened to that record all night long and it is so good. I love how each one of their albums evokes a different strong and deep feeling for me.
I really look forward to it. I've listened to their most recent one a million times now and I like it a lot but I'm also ready for something else of theirs. Can't wait.
I must sleep! Actually, since I'm still coming off the caffeine from that poorly timed late afternoon green tea, I'm going to meditate for an hour and then sleep. See if that helps. Fucking insomnia. Too tired to want to do anything but too wound up to go down. Up and down!
I either get 5/6 or 10-12 hours of sleep.
Interesting. I get 7 hours regularly, but I never ever feel rested.
Yeah me neither, the pills don't help! Damn you pills!
Yeah pills suck. That's why I'm gonna meditate now. Riiiiiight.... now. ......... ......................... Now. ........................................ Ok really going now. Meditating. Opening like a lotus flower. ........................................................................... Shit.
Lotus flower my ASS!
yeah you're right, that should be in the radio head thread.
i will shit myself into yr pocket! NO POCKY 4 KITTY! boo boo kitty fuck! donald duck is... out of luck!
Dang man, I didn't like Agaetis as much as their most recent one that I can never remember the name of. Too synthy, too much strings. I love their new one because it sounds much more like them playing as a band, with the orchestration scaled down a little bit. It was still enjoyable. Are there any other albums (aside from the live ones, which I'll have to check out) that have a more band-ish quality? Less synth, more instrument kinda deal.
well, the other ones that i've listened to are () and Takk. I love them both a lot, and find () to be a little moodier/darker. I feel the same way you do towards Agaetis, especially in comparison to those other two. () is definitely my favorite - it just makes me want to cry about every time I listen to it for one reason or another, and i'm not really a crier.
Nice... I'll have to check those out. I really like moody and dark.
I just realized that maybe you were after a more substantial band quality (which is exactly what you said) and none of them have the traditional structure really, that I know of. But yeah, listen to () anyways.
I will. Non-traditional is ok with me. A lot of it just depends on whether I like it or not when I listen to it, and that's beyond what I'm capable of analyzing. I figured, I really like some of their stuff, the vast majority of Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. So it would stand to reason that there'll be more that I'll like.
On my uTorrent queue. Found another mint vinyl rip! Huzzah.
Nice! You torrenter. I've never gotten into that at all, and now i'm past the chance because i'm pretty happy buying things and such. I use Spotify, actually, which helps my bank account a lot. Also, that album title is ridiculous. I haven't listened to that one yet.
Oh really? It's good. Really good. Especially side two, though everyone I've talked to about it seems to prefer side one. I like them both. But side two has that really dark, really dramatic and spare feel to it. Just beautiful. And "Festival". Holy enchiladas! Just incredible.
I've definitely heard festival before. Actually, no i've listened to it a few times, but nowhere near as many as the others - I definitely remember now that you mention Festival. I'm going to have to do a revisit.
ah yes! their AC grip-off song! kinda wish they made a whole album like that! GO was CLOSER! GO CLOSER! look close her!
Agreed Ghosty.
GHOSTY! woah! never would have thought that up in a million years! i like it!
Haha, no problem. Apparently I'm highly adept at giving people nicknames, just ask Davey and Tiggs. I got Ghosty from the time I said GO standed for Ghost Observation.
Yeah dude, that's such an unusual and awesome talent. Don't stop now!
Seriously, Ghosty is SUCH a good nickname!
Ghostly Woods / Ghastly Ghouls!
Ghosty with the Mosty!

Before we move forward, here is a confession. I am not the world's greatest fan of mughlai food. As Mohit observed, at times mughlai food seems rich & heavy just to be rich & heavy – and not because it adds immensely to taste. The last time I had wandered around the Jama Masjid area was about 20 years ago on one magical Ramzan evening just as the food stalls were getting busy. And i decided to go back again to see whether I could rekindle romance.
Nope. Karim's was a sore disappointment. While the Burra did hit a couple of high notes the general sense was of let down. Maybe I ate the wrong stuff or maybe the place is over-rated now. Dunno. But, I did find a small place in Chandni Chowk that served 'soth india dishes' including Dosa and Chewmen. So that made up for it.
The highlight of the evening without a doubt was the New Delhi Metro. This is one of those rare times that an Indian will find it in him to praise anything contemporary over the ancient (for, who can argue with stuff so old nobody really knows anything about it). And I must thank Mr Sreedharan and his team at the Delhi Metro for this (and, I suspect Sheila Dikshit, the Chief Minister of Delhi, who, from all accounts is a lady determined to leave a lasting impression on Delhi). As any of us who have lived in Delhi can say without an iota of doubt, if a Metro rail can work in Delhi it can work anywhere else in India. It does & so it can. As I watched, the doors opened & closed automatically at every station and the world's second most unruly crowd got in & off demurely. Atta boy ol' S!
The Jama Masjid & Chandni Chowk area reeks of history (and a lot more, but that is par on course for all our cities). I am told that there a number of 'walks' you can do to get it all in. What I missed however was a good walking map. Wonder why no one has done one.

Spectacular theatre in an atmospheric setting off the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Ralswiek open-air theatre on Rügen island's Great Jasmund Lagoon comes into its own when it hosts the annual Störtebeker Festival – especially when the waterside stage is lit up by the magical glow of fireworks on every evening of the festival.
Equally bewitching is the infamous Klaus Störtebeker. Once the scourge of the seas, he has now become a celebrated festival hero in Germany. The Rügen Festival and the open-air theatre at Ralswiek opened in 1959 during the GDR era. Up until 1981, there were five performances each year of Kurt Barthel's dramatic ballad 'Klaus Störtebeker', each featuring a cast of a thousand people and attracting audiences of well over 100,000. Since 1993 the Störtebeker Festival has taken place every year from late June until early September, recounting the tale of the notorious 14th century pirate over a three to four year cycle. And with resounding success: the Störtebeker Festival is the most successful open-air theatre event in Germany. Today, over 150 cast and crew, four ships, 30 horses and a host of special effects make this a theatre experience to remember. And even those who know the story might secretly keep their fingers crossed that Störtebeker and his Victual Brothers are spared such a tragic end. To no avail, of course, but perhaps we owe it to Germany's best-loved pirate.

I have this vision...
Someone gets all of the most powerful and connected women in NYC--Barbara Corcoran, Beth Comstock, and maybe even folks like Lady Gaga--and puts together a Founder Collective-like venture fund. Everyone could toss in 100k and you could definitely find 1:1 matching from various instructions to bring it up to $10mm. Let's bring in both Clinton women, too, while we're at it. It would literally be the most kick-ass, impressive roster of innovative and well-networked women you've ever seen.
And you know who they'd fund?
Well, of course they'd fund women, too. They'd naturally get 100% of all of the female founder dealflow--but women funding women isn't new.
But having a fund led by and funded by women that ANY guy would fall over themselves to get capital from, or that any group of dude VCs would bring into a deal--now that would be a gamechanger. That's because a fund that has the most powerful group of women would be the most well connected fund, period. And when guys start pitching to women for capital, that's when you really get behavior change.
Don't you think guys would be a little more thoughtful about a slate of bros on their team page if they were pitching in front of a partner meeting of all women? Wouldn't you go out of your way to avoid a frat house environment and reputation at your startup if you knew you had female backers?
My fund, Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, has collected only 2.5% of its investor capital from women, but 57% of the capital I've deployed in startups has gone to female founders. That's not particularly game changing. When I report to my investors, I'm mostly talking to dudes--and kickass women are getting funded left and right. That's kind of more of the same.
The problem is that so few women pitch. I probably get a higher percentage of female founders pitching because I've already funded women, and I've backed companies like chloe + isabel and Refinery29 whose target audiences are female. Still, I'd guess that only around 5-10% of any VC's dealflow is from females. The problem is environmental--women just aren't participating in droves in tech entrepreneurship--and I think a lot of it is cultural.
When all of the investors are guys, the way to get money is to behave in ways that appeal to guys--swing for the fences, talk big, be loud, don't sweat the details.
In other words, more than anything else, money sets the tone.
No matter how many female engineers get educated, or female founders get backed, when dudes write the checks, dude behavior rules the roost.
That's why I'm excited about efforts like 37Angels, where women are being educated to angel invest in both sexes--to step up and write checks. There are lots of successful women who want to get involved in supporting innovation but who don't have an educational inroad into being angels. Unlike guys, women tend not to just start writing random checks when they don't know what they're doing--so education is important.
Fund investing represents an excellent way to break into the angel investing world. You go in on a diversified pool that has the opportunity to throw off co-investment opportunities. Plus, you can impact who the VCs are funding when it's your money they're using. If 50% of the money that VCs were investing with came from women, I think you'd see a pretty dramatic sea change in both VC and entrepreneur interactions.
Because like I said, money sets the tone.

Cleaning Green Merky Swimming Pool Water
One you need to shock the swimming pool with chlorine. We recommend getting granular chlorine (normally about $6 for 2lbs) and mixing it with clean water. It is a little cheaper than buying liquid shock. Put 2 tablespoons of glandular to one gallon of water and dissolve it and mix it. Spread around the pool, then run the swimming pool filter for 48 hours. If algae is present, use a copper algaecide to rid the swimming pool of the growth before shocking.
Over chlorination will not cause algae growth. Have the pool tested for phosphates. In many cases, this causes repeated algae growth. Then triple shock with 3L liquid chlorine per 10000L pool water. You have to add enough chlorine to kill all the algae and leave a bit of chlorine left over. Once the dead algae settles to the bottom, vacuum to rid the swimming pool of waste.
Very heavily shock the pool, depending on how many gallons your pool is, preferably using a good amount of liquid chlorine. Do that every other day until the algae is gone. Clean your filter at least twice a day if using a cartridge filter and backwash once a day if using a D.E. filter.
You can also re-filter the pool or have a swimming pool professional clean the swimming pool.

Those who have dealt with the loss of a loved one to cancer know how overwhelming that kind of a tragedy can be. The scope of grief can be difficult for others to fully comprehend. But to endure the death of a child seems almost unimaginable to those of us who have not experienced such a loss.
Sadly, for the parents of approximately 3,000 children in the U.S. each year, that unthinkable worst-case scenario becomes a devastating reality. But, as at least one Louisville man has discovered, there is no reason to accept that this must always be the case. On Sept. 29, Tom Dunbar will take part in the Louisville CureSearch Walk, to raise funds and awareness in memory of his son, Evan, in hopes of sparing other parents the pain of losing a child to cancer.
In 2001, Tom lost his six-year-old son to an aggressive form of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma. Despite roughly two years traveling the country to pursue every possible treatment option – a list that included stem cell rescue, radioactive treatments and monoclonal and antibody treatments – Evan's cancer ultimately proved too aggressive to overcome. While in Louisville, that treatment took place at Kosair Children's Hospital, a partner hospital with an organization called the Children's Oncology Group (COG). In fact, several of the hospitals he visited shared that affiliation, and along the way Tom and his family discovered that the cutting-edge treatments being offered to Evan, and which had been responsible for the successful recovery of hundreds of other sick children, were made possible only because those hospitals were working with this organization.
"The Children's Oncology Group in particular is important because it ties together and does the statistical analysis for every trial that exists in North America, and much of Europe, for kids with cancer,†Dunbar explained. "They are thousands of doctors from hundreds of hospitals, who take the information that they glean from each trial at each hospital, and share that information.â€
A remarkable number – roughly 90 percent – of children being treated for cancer are reported to be participating in trials coordinated by the Children's Oncology Group, as compared to rates closer to 5 percent of adults with cancer who are in trials. A disparity, Dunbar points out, that demonstrates just how crucial a part the COG's research and tracking plays in the quest to cure the childhood disease.
"Thankfully, there's only maybe 13,000 children (who) get cancer in the United States and all of North America in a year.†Dunbar shared. "(But) because the patient count is (so low), …the number of kids in a particular stage of a particular type of cancer, even at the biggest hospitals, is relatively small. In order to make sure that all the treatments continue to improve, (the COG) coordinates their trials.†These trails follow a process in which new treatments are rolled out in three phases, beginning with a select few test hospitals and ultimately becoming available to all 180 affiliated hospitals in the U.S. And despite the COG's important role, federal funding for those efforts is sparse, because children make up such a small percentage of overall cancer patients.
This is where a group called CureSearch comes in. The philanthropic organization responsible for funding the Children's Oncology Group relies almost entirely on the generosity of people who recognize the vital nature of the research and tracking that they provide for sick children. "Everything about children is different,†Dunbar elucidated. "Their cancers are different, their metabolisms are different, the drugs that work on them are different. And here's the biggest, most important part of finding funding for childhood cancer (research) – the drugs that are available to children, for the most part, are only adult cancer drugs. …There is really no other avenue for funding childhood cancer (research) besides the philanthropic nature of North Americans.â€
And, while roughly 3,000 children still die each year from cancer, the efforts of CureSearch have resulted in some pretty remarkable victories. In part because of the coordination of trials provided across the continent by the COG, the cure rate for childhood cancer, nearly zero in 1960, has progressed to almost 78 percent today, far higher than any adult cancer. With funds raised through nationwide events such as their annual cancer walks, CureSearch continues to work toward the goal of ensuring that fewer families each year, and perhaps someday no families at all, endure the devastating loss of a child to cancer.
Next Saturday, Sept. 29, Mr. Dunbar and other local families affected by cancer will participate in the 2012 Louisville CureSearch Walk, an event held to raise funds and awareness for lifesaving children's cancer research. The walk will include prizes, music and food, as well as a special memorial portion meant to honor and remember those children who have passed away. You can take part in this incredible event by registering online at www.curesearchwalk.org, as an individual or a team, and you can even join Tom's team, Team Evan in Heaven.
For Tom, the event is much more than just a fundraiser. "The first thing (we hope to accomplish) is to remember Evan,†he emphasized. "And then, of course, we'd like to remember all kids, and have a great time. And, ultimately, (we'd like to) raise money to help cure kids, and so the treatments can become better, less invasive, and more successful.â€
The 2012 Louisville CureSearch Walk will begin Sept. 29 at 10 a.m., at Waterfront Park's Big Four Lawn, 1001 River Road. Registration and check in will begin at 8:30 a.m. For adults, a minimum $10 donation is required, while children 16 and under may walk free. Those who raise $100 or more will receive a free T-shirt.

I am pleased that an agreement with HGEA has been ratified by its members. I would like to express my gratitude for the hard work and commitment of the HGEA leadership and members in continuing to work towards an agreement to address the budget restrictions that are impacting our campuses. This agreement will result in savings of approximately $7.4 million annually and affect five bargaining units of HGEA that work at the university.
These decisions are difficult, but necessary to get us through this challenging fiscal period, and we appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation. We value the work of all of our employees who are striving daily to meet the increased demand for services under difficult economic times. But they know, as we all know, that we must do everything in our power to make sure all students can and will receive the quality education they deserve.
While the current fiscal situation will likely continue for awhile, I believe that we must do what we can to prepare ourselves for when better times return. There is no better investment than supporting education to create a brighter future for our citizens. Together, we know we can meet this budget crisis. And together, we can and will continue to advocate for the quality of public higher education that our students and community deserve.

I've tried a live USB with Ubuntu 12.04.1 (both i386 and AMD 64-bit) as well as 11.10, as well as Ubuntu 10.04 on a DVD and Fedora 17 on a live USB. In all cases, selecting the option to boot into Ubuntu or install Ubuntu causes the machine to lock up in various places (for example, in a couple of cases the screen just blanks out after I select to try Ubuntu, and in another case a checklist that has some items like SATA 0:0:0:0 shows up and freezes before it would successfully boot to the home screen).
The machine does successfully boot into Windows (I've tried this on two separate E31's, one of which was straight out the box, and I still haven't gone through the out of box experience with). I've verified at least a few of these options on my older laptop to check that I correctly created the live boot media.
The closest to success I came was using the overnight build of Ubuntu, which successfully came up, but with severely mangled graphics.
Do I have any remaining options to try to install linux on an E31?

Echinacea may be taken for acute colds, flus, fevers, and infections. Of most importance is the dosage and frequency. It is most effective when taken every two hours until some symptoms are relieved. The dose is then reduced to three times daily for a week to ensure complete recovery and optimal immune function. A dose is two tablets or capsules (usually around 500-1000 mg of the ground herb), 40 drops of the extract, or 4 to 8 ounces of a strong tea made from the ground root. Often you will feel relief within hours.
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is also effective for infections. It soothes the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract during the congestion and inflammation of colds and flus. Its active component, berberine, has a broad spectrum of antibiotic and immune stimulating activity. Combined with Echinacea, it has a potent immune enhancing and congestion reducing action.
Goldenseal may also be taken every two hours for acute cold symptoms. If taken with Echinacea, use two parts Echinacea to one part Goldenseal in tablet, capsule, extract, or tea form. After 72 hours, three times daily for two weeks will often clear up the case.
For prevention and to maintain optimal health, a combination of Echinacea and Goldenseal may be taken two to three times daily for one to two weeks per month. I find this lower dosage benefits and support good health during the cold, hayfever and allergy seasons when the body is often under stress. In addition, after you have been sick I recommend an "adaptogenic" herb for at least two weeks to assist in full recovery. Adaptogenic herbs have strong "tonic" properties, and they include American Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, and Chinese Astragalus. These herbs are best taken as a liquid extract, 40 drops two to three times daily. This may help reduce the occurrence of future colds and flus as well as to enhance energy and resistance.

Well I live in Walker County, Alabama. I know you've Probably never heard of it.
My neighbor has horses, there's a co-op store a mile one way, and a farm full of cattle a mile the other way.
These people around here don't know much about colognes. They mostly just wear Polo, Hollister, or Abercrombie.
I've never heard of anyone around here wearing anything Versace so I'm good among my school at least.
She's smelled Code before and said it was alright, I don't remember if she smelled the Allure Sport the day I got my Guess or not.
Thanks though, I'll get her to check them out with me.
Did someone mention that one already? YSL LaNuit L'Homme?
So currently I have SoCal (Hollister), Acqua Di Gio (Giorgio Armani), Seductive Homme (Guess), and Eau Fraiche (Versace).
What should be the next cologne I get when I decided to buy another bottle?
Okay so I'm 15 years old and in the past year and a half ago I've really gotten into cologne. I've got:
Gucci Envy for Men 100ml my favorite!
Acqua di Gio 100ml Okay cologne but everyone has this
Guess Man 100ml Okay cologne doesn't last very long
Armani Diamonds 1.7 oz I don't ever wear this, really strong
Polo Double Black 100ml Not bad but after top notes..smells like baby powder
and 1.36oz mini bottle
Pure Nautica 100ml I like this fresh scent last quite long too
Versace Pour Homme 100ml I like this but it doesn't last long at all
Burberry for Men 2.5oz I really like this cologne
Armani Code 100ml i like this one alot too
Most of these are considered "old man" but i really like them, I also like The One by D&G, and Light Blue. My dad and I got into cologne together and we go to Perfumania and sample (and I've counted) at least 40 different colognes.
The girl who works at Perfumania is overly nice to me (i think its kinda funny but not making fun of her) I think it's because most people come into the store and instantly want Acqua di Gio or Code, and I don't...much less a 15 year old kid.
Suggestions? I'm not into the true "teen" brands (hollister, abercrombie etc.) I want to try Creed though, but it's a little costly...
Last edited by CrashCarson; 23rd December 2011 at 06:27 AM.
Go for the Creed, it exudes sophistication
Creed is quite pricey for the average 15 year old IMO.
You didn't like Eau Sauvage - fair enough. Did you check out Dior Homme? It's much more modern and you may like it or the sport version.
Maybe you should check out some gourmand scents. These are very different than what you have, are very popular with younger folks, and tend to be very likable crowd pleasers. They kind of make you smell like a dessert, but in a good way. Ones to check out are Theirry Mugler A*Men (which was mentioned earlier), Lolita Lempicka au Masculin (more licorice-y, and less expensive). Also, Givenchy Pi is nice - not really a gourmand - more of a sweet vanilla masculine.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Welcome CrashCarson! Perhaps Chanel Egoiste or Platinum Egoiste. They are completely different fragrances so try sampling both.
Yeah it just wasn't my style of cologne. No, but I saw it and thought about it. I'll try it next time I'm at the mall.
I'll also check out those last 3. The Givenchy Pi sounds good and I remember reading good reviews for it on Seohora's website.
Next time I go look for cologne I'm going to look at Davidoff-Cool Water, YSL-La Nuit de L'Homme, A*Men, and Burberry Brit.
Any others I should look at? Summer scent suggestions would be great. It's hot and humid down here during the summer.

One Down
Opening day is out of the way. Certainly the outcome wasn't what everyone wanted, unless you were a St. Louis fan.
Once again, the weather wasn't the best for a Phillies opener. Plenty of sunshine on Saturday and Sunday was followed by a cloudy Monday. Weather forecasters predicted rain around 3 o'clock, which was game time. Steady rain followed by thunderstorms was in the mix thereafter.
The forecasters batted .000 for the afternoon. Drops did begin to fall shortly before 3:00 but they stopped and the afternoon was rain free. Rain would have come in handy after the Cardinals scored eight times in the fourth to go up 10-0. No such luck.
Opening day typically means something special for the fans. This year the Phillies paraded in from center field between two rows of fans. It was the wrap-up for the "Paint the Town Red Week." The fans wore red, the players walked on red carpet and a red Phanatic led the parade. "That was pretty cool," exclaimed Cory Lidle upon reaching the dugout.
For those who suffered a psychological problem because the Phanatic was red, he returned to his normal green later that day. Relax, all is well again.
A tradition for Phillies openers is a group of military personnel parachuting into the ballpark. This year it was the United States Falling Angels Skydiving Team. While standing on the field, you see an airplane out of which men are jumping. They appear to be so far away that they surely will never make it to the park. By golly, one by one, they land on the green grass. There are many things in life I can't do, and that is one of them.
In introducing the starting lineup, we made a change. Normally, you begin with the leadoff hitter and wind up with the pitcher and catcher, batting eighth and ninth, respectively, out in the bullpen. This time, we started with the ninth place hitter and worked toward the leadoff hitter, Jimmy Rollins. Idea was to build some momentum.
Rollins, riding a historic 36-game hitting streak, managed to keep the streak alive in a dramatic way—doubling down the right field line in his last at-bat (eighth inning) and a 3-0 count. It marked the eighth time that he extended the streak in his final at-bat.
The game? The good news is that it only counts as one loss. The 13 runs were the most the Phillies allowed in a season opener dating back to April 12, 1927, when they lost to the New York Giants, 15-7, at Baker Bowl. Wonder what color the Phanatic was on that date.
3 Comments
It was a nice thing when Jimmy Rollins ended last year with a 36 game hitting streak, but no way it should be continued into the season. The players with the longest streaks in history all accomplished this feat within the length of one season. They did this while dealing with the wear and tear of the long season, they didn`t have the benefit of a 6 mo. layoff to heal injuries and to recharge their batteries.
Jimmy the 36 game streak was fantastic but let`s use yesterdays hit to start a new streak not continue an old one.
I'm not sure where you were sitting but it RAINED for the first three innings. I still have the wet ponchos in the back of my car to prove it.
I'm a full season ticket holder (4th year) and I really enjoyed the opening ceremonies. The parachutist were outstanding! The flyover was OK (a little late) but maybe next year you can ask the Air Force to fly over some stealth aircraft or something other than the A-10s from Willow Grove. The game was dismal, but at least MY TEAM is back playing again.
No Rain? Tell that to the guy who had his umbrella opened sitting in front of me for 3 innings. At least Jimmy extended his streak that was nice to see(Even though it's over now). What was not nice to see was the mass exodus of "Fans" that left before it happened.

The PGA Tour rescinded the two-shot penalty given to Justin Rose before his final round Sunday in The Players Championship, changing its mind to say sophisticated TV technology was the only way to determine the violation.
Rose was given a reprieve by an addition in January to the "Decisions on the Rules of Golf" that waives a penalty if the slightest movement of a golf ball can only be detected by enhanced technology. It was the first time Decision 18/4 was used.
"I didn't know that this new recall was in place," Rose said after closing with a 3-under 69.
Rose was penalized after the third round when he addressed a chip shot off the 18th green, and suddenly backed away. Rose said he didn't think the ball had moved from its original position, even after consulting with playing partner Sergio Garcia and seeing a replay on the video board. Only after his round, when he met with officials and watched a third television angle zoom in on the ball, was it clear that it moved ever so slightly.
He was penalized under Rule 18-2b — one shot for the ball moving at address, another for returning it to its original position.
His 71 was changed to a 73, and he went left the course seven shots out of the lead. About an hour before he teed off Sunday, he was back to where he was. Because it was too late to adjust the tee times, Rose started his final round more than an hour before the other players on the same score of 7-under 209.
Rose was within two shots of the leaders at the turn until three straight bogeys. Rose closed with back-to-back birdies and finished at 10-under 278.
"We feel like we did the right thing here," said Mark Russell, vice president of competition for the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour said in a statement the incident had been reviewed because Decision 18/4 had never been used.
"The Rules Committee reopened the incident and focused on how much the use of sophisticated technology played a part in making the original ruling," the statement said. "After that review, it was determined that the only way to confirm whether and how much the ball in fact changed position was to utilize sophisticated technology."
Russell said the tour consulted Grant Moir from the Royal & Ancient and Thomas Pagel of the USGA before deciding to apply the new decision.
Decision 18/4 waives the penalty if a ball movement is not "reasonably discernible to the naked eye at the time" and required enhanced technology, such as HDTV. The example often cited by rules officials is when Peter Hanson had a double-hit that could not be detected except through HD in super slow-motion.
One reason cited for penalizing him in the first place was the way Rose backed away from the shot, aware that there might have been movement. Rose maintained he did not think the ball moved until seeing the close-up view that he said was magnified so much "the golf ball looked like a Lego ball."
"I was willing to accept the way things played out last night, and under 50 times magnification, you could argue that there was a tiny bit of a roll toward the toe (of the club)," Rose said. "I'm talking a hair or a millimeter or a quarter dimple or whatever it might be."
Russell did not made clear what triggered their decision to review a ruling that had already been made. He described sophisticated technology as "HD zoomed in."
"It was such a slight move that it was not discernible by the naked eye," Russell said. "He didn't know. He knew something happened when he grounded his club and felt like he pressed the grass down. And it came right back. Everything went down and then the grass went down and the ball came back up. He knew something happened, he backed away from that, but it took something really zoomed in that was not seen on regular television to determine if the ball did indeed move. And it did."
Rose said it was "interesting" that Decision 18/4 was not mentioned Saturday night as he met with officials. He said he only learned about it through comments he was getting on Twitter, and when he saw the decision, it sounded exactly like what had happened to him.
"We have never had this tool before that we could apply," Russell said. "We asked for this and we feel like that this is the first time this has ever been used and we feel like this is exactly why this decision is in there. … I think he deserved exactly what he received under the rules."
Rose said he wasn't going to argue with the officials Saturday night that he would happily go along with whatever they decided.
"I'm certainly surprised it's overturned," he said. "Very rarely is that ever the case. Never, ever the case. I'm not sure."

Custom orders are our everyday work, so you are warmly welcomed to join our process. Custom orders usually start from rough sketch, then we discuss everything and begin to create after we receive a deposit. Deposit is usually about 20% from the full price, the rest amount is paid after order is finished and you get pictures of a finished work.
The best way to know your ring size is to go to any jewelry shop or repair, usually you can measure your finger there for free. Another option is to buy a measuring gauge (you can find plenty of them here on etsy for about 1,5 - 2 EUR).
Please, do't use home methods, it doesn't guarantee accuracy of measuring and we can't be responsible for any mistakes.
If you ordered a wrong size it is better to resize the ring at local jeweller, it will be easier, faster and cheaper than sending the ring to us.
We usually don't make adjustable rings, gold is a very sturdy metal and you won't feel comfortable to adjust the ring by yourself.
Our rings come in elegant black boxes and is ready to give. Small little box is usually packed in bigger craft box stuffed with green leaves, dry flowers and magic dust :)
We can add personal note for free if you need it.
It depends. If the stone is calibrated (has standard cut and measurements), we could do that. We need to know exact dimensions, depth and diameter to make the right setting for it. Carats don't say anything. For example, 1 ct stone can have different measurements - same weight but different depth and diameter.
If you can't measure a stone or it has fantasy cut, you could send us your stone and we'll make a custom setting for it.
We gladly accept wholesale offers. Please contact us here or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
I can't accept returns if the item was meant as a gift / proposal ring and person rejected it.
Prepayment amount for custom designed items can't be refunded as well.
When returning an item shipping amount of 70 EUR is not refundable.
Buyer pays returning shipping cost as well.
We do not accept returns for tarnished jewelry or worn off gold plating. These are natural processes we can't be responsible for. Although there are many tips how to avoid tarnish.

Drinks on Us: Low-Calorie Cocktails
Bryan McCay
Piña Colada Cooler
When FITNESS learned that Americans drink about 20 percent of their total calories on average, we immediately thought of one sinister culprit that tends to lurk near social gatherings: the cocktail. We tapped the experts — top mixologists and dietitians - and with a few tweaks to basic drink recipes and some creative interpretations of high-calorie favorites, we believe we've found a few recipes that'll let you imbibe on occasion and maintain a trim waistline. Read on for drink recipes that go down easy.
Piña Colada Cooler
Registered dietitian Carolyn O'Neil can't understand why a pina colada was ever paired with a bathing suit. "It is one of the most caloric drinks you can imagine consuming," she tells us. An 8-ounce pina colada can pack in 640 calories — over 100 calories more than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. O'Neill slimmed down this dangerously delicious drink for us — phew! — and the results are just as refreshing as the original.
1 1/2 ounces coconut-flavored rum
3 ounces pineapple juice
4 ounces sparkling water
1 tablespoon of Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut Lite (found in the drink mixers section of many supermarkets)
Pour ingredients over ice and stir.
Calories: 165
Bryan McCay
Blueberry Lemon Breeze
Using agave nectar in place of simple syrup "adds the perfect sweetness to a drink along with complexity of flavor," says Stephanie Ruhe, bar manager at Atlanta hot spot Neo. We love agave for its low glycemic index (meaning it won't send your blood sugar soaring) and because there's a light version that cuts calories. In this drink, which on Neo's menu is titled "Demise of Ms. Beauregarde" after the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character, fresh berries and lemon juice blend harmoniously with the flavors in the gin. But what makes this cocktail so special, says Ruhe, is the champagne that's poured on top!
10 blueberries
3/4 ounce light agave nectar, such as Wholesome Sweeteners, available at Whole Foods or other natural foods stores
1 1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce lemon juice
Splash of champagne (about 1 ounce)
In a shaker, muddle* together blueberries and agave. Add the gin and lemon juice, then shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain contents of shaker into a martini glass and then top with champagne. Garnish with 3 blueberries on a cocktail stick.
Calories: 205
*A muddler is a bartending tool used to grind ingredients. Purchase online at amazon.com ($9.99) or make do with the end of a wooden spoon.
Bryan McCay
Mimosa Lite
Brunchtime cocktails don't have to break the calorie bank, says Andrea Giancoli, RD, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. At a recent Sunday gathering, she mixed up a less-indulgent mimosa without tossing out any of this bubbly beverage's taste. Her secret: low-calorie fruit juices, such as Minute Maid Light, which contain half the calories of regular juice.
2 ounces Minute Maid Light Orange Tangerine Juice
4 ounces champagne
Juice of 1/2 medium-size orange, or 1 to 2 ounces
Add several ice cubes to a tall glass. Squeeze the juice of the orange into the glass. Pour in orange tangerine juice, followed by champagne. Stir. Garnish with fresh orange rinds, curled.
Calories: 120
Bryan McCay
Blended Raspberry Cocktail
Let ice be your ally this summer. By blending drinks with fruity flavors you ultimately consume fewer calories, says Giancoli. Another sip tip: Using tall glasses (10 ounces and above) means you'll refill — and fill up on calories — less often.
1/2 cup ice or several ice cubes
8 ounces Minute Maid Light Raspberry Passion
1 1/2 ounces vodka
Combine ingredients in a blender. Garnish with several fresh raspberries.
Calories: 115
Bryan McCay
Strawberry-Citrus Vodka Cocktail
If you're planning on having more than one drink, a calorie-saving strategy is to alternate between cocktails and "mocktails," says O'Neil. Refreshing, summery flavors like citrus, berry, and mint can stand on their own, so the non-alcoholic version of the following drink by Neo's Ruhe is just as delicious. Swap in a low-calorie soda for the vodka (try Fresca) and you're drinking a virtually calorie-free beverage.
2 strawberries
1 sprig of mint
3/4 ounce light agave nectar, such as Wholesome Sweeteners
1 3/4 ounces citrus vodka
3/4 ounce lemon juice
In a shaker, muddle together mint and strawberries, then add the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously with ice for 20 seconds. Pour entire contents of shaker into a tall glass. (Include all of the mint and strawberry pulp.)
Calories: 259
Bryan McCay
Mojito Makeover
In general, the Mojito is already a better choice when it comes to calories, but the talented folks at the trendy Chapel Hill restaurant Jujube show us how to serve up this Cuban drink with one smart substitution — Splenda syrup instead of simple syrup. Make your own by dissolving 2 packets of Splenda into an ounce of water or purchase Da Vinci's Sugar Free Sweetener Syrup (available on amazon.com), and keep the bottle on hand for iced teas, coffees, and more.
2 ounces light rum
1 ounce Splenda syrup, Da Vinci's Sugar Free Sweetener Syrup
1 ounce lime juice
7 mint leaves
Splash of club soda
In a shaker, muddle mint leaves and a lime wedge. Add ice and other ingredients and shake. Pour into tall glass and top with soda.
Calories: 140
Bryan McCay
Skinny Wasaberita
Another high-calorie monster, the margarita was long overdue for a makeover. Ruhe whittles down the calories in this happy hour classic by leaving out the Cointreau (saving 95 calories per ounce) and adding a powerful punch of wasabi powder. Her clever spin on this go-to is unexpected and guilt-free.
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
3/4 ounce lime juice
1 ounce light agave nectar, such as Wholesome Sweeteners
1 3/4 ounces Tequila blanco
Salt rim of a margarita glass. In a shaker add all of the ingredients with ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds and then strain over fresh ice into glass.
Calories: 224
Bryan McCay
Choco-lite Cocktail
Some dieters think they save calories by ordering a dessert and a cocktail in one, but has anyone ever lost weight drinking liquefied hot fudge sundaes? Skip the 500 calories found in the average chocolate martini (made with creme de cacao and half and half) — this lightened-up treat has been pared down in a couple of smart places. Before you pour, line the rim of the glass with syrup for a bit of sweetness with every sip.
1 ounce Godiva chocolate liqueur
1 ounce vodka
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1 teaspoon Hershey's Syrup Lite (for lining rim of glass)
In a shaker, combine chocolate liqueur, vodka, and milk with crushed ice. Shake to mix. Pour into glass.
Calories: 227
Bryan McCay
Grapefruit Basil Martini
Low-calorie recipes are often celebrated for what they manage to cut out, but here's a beverage that throws a few added benefits your way. Neo's mixologists pair basil, an unpredictable herbal twist, with grapefruit, which delivers a dose of vitamins and antioxidants. Now that's something to toast to.
2 basil leaves
1 ounce grapefruit juice
1 ounce Da Vinci's Sugar Free Sweetener Syrup
1 3/4 ounces gin
Splash of sparkling wine
In a shaker, muddle basil and syrup. Add syrup and gin and shake hard with ice for 20 seconds. Strain ingredients into a martini glass and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Calories: 161

POTTED POTTER to Cast Spell Over Mesa Arts Center, 2/21-24
Once the character of Harry Potter had been brought to life by J.K. Rowling, the story was everywhere. America's obsession with the fictional Harry Potter series is undeniable and thus the creation of a fantastic 70 minute parody was inevitable. Potted Potter, The Unauthorized Harry Experience- A Parody by Dan and Jeff comes to Mesa Arts Center from February 21 through February 24, 2013. Tickets are available through the Mesa Arts Center Box Office at MesaArtsCenter.com or by calling 480-644-6500.
This unauthorized stage play chronicles all seven Harry Potter books from start to finish in a 70 minute parody performed by two actors at a breakneck speed. The show's creators and performers, Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, are coming to Arizona after successful runs in Toronto, London, and New York. With the help of an endless amount of costumes, hilarious props, and brilliant songs, Dan and Jeff have captured the attention of children, teenagers, and adults who love the Harry Potter books and who will flock to anything related to the series.
Though Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner had been performing versions of "Potted Potter" for the past six years at theater festivals in the U.K. and Canada, their performances at the Little Shubert Theater in New York City marked their American debut. "Potted Potter" has held as much as ten performances a week due to its short running time and the two actors are constantly changing costumes and even play a quick game of Quidditch that involves audience participation. The show features fans' favorite characters and even a special appearance by a fire-breathing dragon.
Mesa Arts Center and Mix 96.9 are set out to collect Harry Potter books to donate to the Phoenix Children's Hospital. Mix 96.9 will use on-air, online & social media to encourage listeners to donate their old Harry Potter (and other books) by dropping them off at either Mesa Arts Center or Clear Channel. Once we have collected books, the cast of Potted Potter will make an appearance at the hospital to deliver the books to all the children.
The Mesa Arts Center, owned and operated by the City of Mesa, is a unique, architecturally stunning facility located in the heart of downtown Mesa. Arizona's largest arts center is home to four theaters, five art galleries, and 14 art studios. Guests, patrons, and students come to Mesa Arts Center to enjoy the finest live entertainment and performances, world-class visual art exhibitions, and outstanding arts education classes. The Mesa Arts Center mission is to inspire people through engaging arts experiences that are diverse, accessible, and relevant. Mesa Arts Center has received numerous awards and accolades including the "2010 Arts Organization of the Year," by the Arts & Business Council of Greater Phoenix; the "2011 Best Venue to See National Acts" Best of Phoenix New Times; "2012 Best Arts Center" Critic's Choice azcentral.com, and most recently "2012 Venue of Excellence" by the International Association of Venue Managers. The 2012-2013 Performing Live Series is sponsored by Arizona Commission on the Arts. For more information, visit mesaartscenter.com.

Hello all
So here are the final two cross stitch kits available now to buy. The gallery website is still not quite ready, these things always take much longer than planned. If you are keen to buy one I think they will make a great Christmas gift just drop me an email and you can pay through paypal. They cost £25. The two other designs are also available, just scroll down this page to see them too.
Edit Sorry for lack of information, The kit contains 14 count Zweigart Aida, pre sorted stranded cottons, needle,stitch diagram and instructions. The finished size of the design is 26x26cm and finally it uses full cross stitches and a few back stitches. I hope this helps.
The slow pace round here lately is due to a small bump I am now sporting on my front which is due in March next year.......... Thrilled..........I am enjoying
this book recommended by Loobylu.
Still....lots happening, new stock being ordered for Christmas, a few days in my beloved Cornwall planned mainly for hubby to cash in his birthday present of a days cookery course at Rick Steins school. A trip to Brighton also for the wonderful MADE craft fair. Hen nights, weddings, special birthdays and then Christmas all at snails pace. Hello Autumn!!!!
p.s I love soup!

Wished this worked outside North America. Anyone know of any programming like this that would work in China? I thought NFL.com use to have a Game Rewind that worked outside North America at one point in time.
Let me say as an avid 40+ year football fan, this is a great value. It is $29.95 for the entire regular season (because I was suckered into buying the preseason package; regularly, I think it goes for $39.95) you get all of the games online in HD with the ability to watch 4 games at a time starting Monday after the Sunday games. Comparing that to the ridiculous $350 direct TVC is asking for the live Sunday ticket online (that still does not work right from what I understand), to me it is a no brainer to wait a day and then watch all of the games all week long.
Oh and I have Crap Warner Cable so we have neither the NFL network or Red Zone channel, so this is really the only alternative. THis is also the only place that has all of the weekends games in one place for replay over and over at your leisure.
Wished this worked outside North America. Anyone know of any programming like this that would work in China? I thought NFL.com use to have a Game Rewind that worked outside North America at one point in time.
I love it. Just about to sit down and watch the Jaguars-Titans game right now.
The best purchase for re-watching games. I used to go the p2p route but this is way easier, quality is fantastic, and you get to queue up 3 years of games from any team.
Do they edit out time in between plays so that the games get done in a reasonable amount of time?
i just signed up. its pretty good. i'm checking out the jags for next week's game lol.
I just signed up for this.
Plus, this year you get the 22 camara coaches view. Perfect for proving your point against opinionated AHs too lazy to research.
Ok, I mis-interpreted, shoot me:
"Coaches Film" is the term used to describe certain camera angles used for game analysis by NFL coaches, scouts and game officials. Every play from every game (including all regular-season and playoff games, plus the Super Bowl) is recorded on the Coaches Film cameras.
Coaches Film is comprised of two main camera angles: "All-22" and "High End Zone." The "All 22" camera is positioned high above the NFL playing field and shows a view of the field that includes all 22 players (11 on offense, 11 on defense) at the same time. This All-22 camera view can be used to analyze all plays and players on any given play in an NFL game."
In the original context airheads is fine, for you guys, maybe something else

The share price of Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL) has taken quite a journey since the beginning of the year, with a year-to-date change of +3.63. While looking at the past full year of trading, the price performance is -26.64%. As of the most recent market close, this stock's last recorded price was $22.39. But how does this particular stock's price movements compare to the rest of the market? One metric that indicates how volatile a stock's price is compared to the wider market is the Beta. The Beta value for Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL) is 1.32 indicating more volatile than the rest of the market.
Now let's turn to this stock's Technical Analysis for a specific period of time. During the last 20-day span this Stock's Moving Average was noted 22.21 and the Average Volume of this company's shares was 5,861,090.
An additional method of evaluating the price evolution of a public organization's stock is to check out its Return on Investment (ROI), which illustrates overall investment performance. It's also utilized as a way of observing the strength of one investment compared to another, side-by-side. At the time of writing, the ROI for stock is -8.50%.
An additional way that expert traders determine a stock's volatility is by looking at its Average True Range (ATR) – a highly useful tool that enables investors to create a whole trading strategy or to simply figure out tactical entry or exit signals. This volatility measurement has been looked to for several years as a way to generate the best trading results. This stock's ATR was 0.87 on this particular day.
Now let's take a more in-depth look at NBL technical analysis metrics. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is one of the indicators that investors use the most often, as it is widely seen as one of the easiest and most helpful measurements of both the momentum and general trend in markets. The MACD Oscillator for Noble Energy, Inc. through the last 20-day time span was posted at 0.36.
Then another helpful metric, the Williams' Percent Range Technical Indicator (seen as %R) is looked at to guide investors as to whether the shares are oversold or overbought – and is very much the same as the Stochastic Oscillator. The major difference is that %R shows us the level of the closing price in relation to the highest price point for the period concerned. Its %R through the last 20-day stretch was 30.62%.
Additionally, during that same period of time, the Relative Strength Index for Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL) is 50.38%. A Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 30% is considered oversold, while it is seen as overbought if it rises above 70%.
MGM Resorts International(NYSE: MGM) common stock has recently come under the judgmental eyes of top market analysts. For this stock's full-year price projection, 18 different trading experts have reported their forecasts. For the full-year period that ends on Dec-19, analysts are in agreement that this publicly-traded organization's mean sales will reach $12,983.00 million.
According to Thomson Reuter's data, of all the analysts covering this stock, 5 have recommended shares of MGM Resorts International a BUY, 6 have suggested OUTPERFORM, 7 were telling investors to HOLD and only 0 analyst is giving a Sell recommendation.
Three months prior to today, 5 analysts were rating this stock as a BUY, 6 were reporting it as an OUTPERFORM, 6 were recommending that investors HOLD, and 0 said the stock has a SELL rating.
Let's dig into the minute details of MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) technical analysis. This Company's Year-to-Date Moving Average is currently sitting at 27.67. The average number of shares that changed owners during this 12-month period was observed to be 5,962,341.
How does that compare to the latest trading session?
At the most recent market open, the per-share price of MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) common stock was $29.44. Before the end of the trading session, this stock's price rose as high as $30.21 and dropped to as low as $29.44.
During the most recent full trading session, shares of MGM generated a trading volume of 12,089,464 shares, in contrast with its usual average daily volume of 8.82M shares.
Taking a look backward at trading activity from the last 9-day period, MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) has demonstrated an Average True Range value of 0.79. During the last 14-day stretch, this company's ATR was posted at 0.86. Meanwhile, during the last 20 days, it was 0.91, with the last 100-day figure being 0.93.
