You represent and warrant that You have the necessary licenses, rights, permissions and consents to use, publish, transmit and distribute, and authorize Shooger and its users to use, publish and distribute all Content posted by You and all portions of such Content; Shooger has the right to determine whether any of the Content posted by You is appropriate or in compliance with this Agreement, and to modify or remove all or any portion of such Content;

You agree that any and all unsolicited communication sent or transmitted by you to Shooger, including, but not limited to, suggestions, comments, and other information or materials but expressly excluding personally identifiable information (collectively "Feedback") shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary. Subject to Our Privacy Policy [http://shooger.com/Privacy-Policy], Shooger shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to such Feedback and, without limitation, is free to use and distribute to others such Feedback. Furthermore, Shooger shall be free to use any Feedback, including, but not limited to ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained therein for any purpose, including, but not limited to incorporating, developing and marketing products from the use of such Feedback.
All Content made available by You through the Shooger Service must follow the Mobile Marketing Association Consumer Best Practices guidelines and Code of Content.

This includes, but is not limited to the following: Alcohol marketing should not directly promote the use of or consumption of alcohol; Any reference to the abuse of alcohol, drugs, tobacco or other controlled substances is strictly prohibited. This includes verbal and non-verbal actions in which a person could conclude that promotion of drug use is intended.
IV. Privacy, Security and Confidentiality
Shooger is dedicated to establishing trusting relationships with its customers, based on respect for personal identity and information. To demonstrate our commitment to customer privacy, we have developed a Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy"), a current copy of which is available at http://shooger.com/Privacy-Policy, and the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. By using the Services, you also agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time.
If we decide to change our privacy practices, we will post those changes in our Privacy Policy, and other places we deem appropriate, so that You can be always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect when the information was collected. If, however, we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify You via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. However, if You have opted out of all communication with Shooger, or deleted/deactivated your account, then You will not be contacted, and your personal information will not be used in this new manner.
Some of the information that You submit through the Services (such as your postings of finds, deals and places) is intended for the purpose of disclosure in numerous ways through the Service, and is therefore not subject to confidentiality. While personal information, such as credit card information is maintained with appropriate security and privacy protections, other information provided by You may be disclosed to third party merchants for commercial purposes (including for the provisioning and procurement of products and services for you), as provided in the Privacy Policy.
V. Offers
The Services enable Customers to view offers ("Offers") for products and services provided by participating Merchants, and to obtain coupons, tokens or vouchers, either free or through a purchase (collectively "Offer Vouchers") that can be used in connection with the purchase, redemption and use of products and/or services provided by Merchants. Offers and Offer Vouchers are subject to terms as described in this Agreement.
Offers and Offer Vouchers posted or available through the Services may have schedules indicating when they become available and when they cease to be available to buy or use. These schedules may be set by the Merchant that creates an Offer, or by Shooger in association with a participating Merchant or partner.
Offers available through the Service may also be limited in other ways. For example, they can be limited to a certain number of uses by an individual customer, or to a limited number of customers in aggregate, or limited to specific geographies, or to certain time intervals, or in a combination of these or other limitation methods.
Each Offer may have other specific terms associated with it, which if present, will be made available to You at the time You commit to purchase that offer. Offer specific terms shall supersede any other offer terms in this Agreement, except to the extent that such terms are prohibited by applicable laws.
Unless otherwise stated in an Offer or otherwise required by law, the following terms shall apply to all Offers:
Offers and Offer Vouchers do not have any cash value;
• No credit or cash back will be issued for partial use of a paid or promotional portion of an Offer or Offer Voucher;
• The issuance of any credits for Offers is at the sole discretion of the Merchant
• Offers and Offer vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips, shipping and handling, or other balances owed, as applicable;
• Neither Shooger, nor any of its participating Merchants or partners are responsible for lost or stolen Offers or Offer Vouchers;
• Unauthorized use, duplicate or multiple use, sale or trade of an Offer or Offer Voucher is prohibited;
• Unless expressly stated at the time an Offer is purchased, the Offer or Offer Voucher price will not include any sales tax, value added tax or other form of tax, which may be charged to You separately by the Merchant at the time when You use the Offer Voucher;
• Offers and Offer Vouchers cannot be combined with other Offers unless specifically noted in the applicable Offer or Offer Voucher;
• The use of an Offer or Offer voucher for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the offering Merchant, unless otherwise noted on the Offer or Offer Voucher;
• Purchases may have statutory limitations on the amount of the Offer Voucher value that can be used or redeemed for alcoholic beverages. Compliance with such statutes or codes is the responsibility of the Merchant, and Shooger has no role or responsibility in such determination or action on the part of the Merchant;
• While Shooger markets Offers and may act as an agent in selling Offers on behalf of participating Merchants, each Merchant is the issuer of its Offers and Offer Vouchers, and shall be fully responsible for any and all liabilities, costs, claims, damages, injuries or illnesses suffered by or in respect of a customer, caused in whole or in part by the Merchant or its products or services, as well as for any unclaimed liability arising from unused or unredeemed or partially redeemed Offers and Offer Vouchers;
• When purchasing an Offer, You have the right to print the Offer Voucher issued by the offering Merchant and to use the Offer Voucher according to the Terms specified in the Offer terms and in the terms of this Agreement;
• As an incentive to encourage You and other users of the Service to purchase Offers, Shooger may from time to time, offer special contests, sweepstakes or other form of promotions. Any applicable rules for such promotions will be posted on our website. Shooger reserves the right to interpret these rules at our sole discretion, and You hereby agree to such interpretation;
• Some or all products and services offered for purchase or as described in the Services may not be available to persons residing in certain geographic areas or jurisdictions. Shooger reserves the right to exclude or otherwise limit the availability and provisioning of an Offer to persons living in any geographic area or jurisdiction, and does not warrant or represent that any product or service described in the Services will be available for purchase, or that any Offer or Offer Voucher will be available to all users;
• The Merchant may be responsible for allowing You to use or redeem an Offer Voucher for a period of time beyond the expiration or "use by" date specified on the Offer Voucher. While the expiration or "use by" date on the Offer Voucher dictates the last date that the Offer Voucher can be used for the stated Offer, applicable law may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value that You paid for the Offer Voucher, for a period of time that extends beyond the stated expiration date on the Offer Voucher. If You have an Offer Voucher that has expired and would like to use or redeem it for the price You paid for it, please contact the Merchant. The Merchant may be required by applicable law to allow such use or redemption of your Offer Voucher. If You have contacted the Merchant and the Merchant has refused to allow use or redemption of your Offer Voucher, and if applicable law entitles You to such redemption, please contact Shooger in writing and explain your issue, and, if Shooger confirms such entitlement, Shooger will refund the purchase price of the Offer Voucher, either in the currency that the Offer Voucher was purchased, or in the form of credit towards the purchase of future Offer Vouchers from Shooger, as determined by Shooger;
• If you purchase an Offer or Offer Voucher, do not use or redeem it, and change your mind within 2 days of the date of your purchase, Shooger will refund of the purchase price the Offer or Offer Voucher actually paid by You. After this period, Shooger will not provide any refunds, unless You are unable to use an Offer Voucher before its expiration date because the offering Merchant has gone out of business. Any such refund may be paid (as determined by Shooger) via check in the currency in which You paid for the Offer or Offer Voucher, via refund to the credit card by which you paid for such Offer or Offer Voucher, or in the form of a credit towards your future purchase of additional Offer(s) or Offer Voucher(s).
VI. Payments
You agree to pay any and all charges associated with your use of the Services. Shooger reserves the right to charge and collect value-added taxes ("VAT"), sales or other taxes on the Services as it deems appropriate or as otherwise required by law, and Shooger reserves the right to change prices or institute new charges for access to or use of Shooger Services. All changes will be posted by Shooger on the Shooger website. You are responsible for regularly reviewing such pricing information to obtain timely notice of such changes. Continued use of the Services or non-termination of your Shooger account after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the prices as modified by the posted changes.
Unless you apply for and are pre-approved by Shooger for invoiced billing as described below, payment of your Shooger account balance is due at the time of a purchase, or on a recurring basis, in accordance with your payment plan, in the currency in which You are billed, and must be made by the credit or debit card designated by You for Shooger use and transactions. If your account is pre-approved by Shooger for invoiced billing, charges will be accumulated, identified by Customer identification number and invoiced on a monthly basis. If the payment method for your account is by credit or debit card and Shooger does not receive payment from the card issuer (or its agent or affiliate), You agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by Shooger. Each time You use the Services, or allow or cause the Services to be used, You agree and reaffirm that Shooger is authorized to charge your designated card. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all amounts paid by you under this Agreement are nonrefundable. Your card issuer's agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Services, and You must refer to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You agree that Shooger may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during your billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that Shooger may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement You receive from your card issuer.
IF CLIENT PROVIDES Shooger WITH CREDIT CARD, DEBIT CARD, OR BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION, CLIENT AUTHORIZES Shooger TO USE SUCH PAYMENT INFORMATION TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE CLIENT ON A RECURRING BASIS TO COLLECT ALL FEES DUE HEREUNDER. CLIENT REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE IS AUTHORIZED TO INCUR CHARGES AGAINST THE PAYMENT CARD USED TO PURCHASE Shooger ADS AND SERVICES. THE FORM OF PAYMENT CANNOT BE CHANGED OR ALTERED UNLESS ALL AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THE TERMS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL OR OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING.
To view your current account balance, along with billing details and any accumulated charges, please login to your account at the Shooger website.
VII. Refunds
For Merchant accounts, any activation fees, and/or recurring service fees, as applicable, are payable in advance and may be refunded or partially refunded on a case by case basis according to Company refund policies. You agree that for Merchant accounts payable through recurring subscription fees, Shooger may submit charges for your recurring service fee in each billing cycle, without further authorization from You, until You provide prior notice (in accordance with Shooger's verification procedures, as may be established by Shooger from time to time in its sole discretion) that You have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card/payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Shooger reasonably could act on your notice. If You sign up for more than one Shooger Merchant account, your first payment for such additional accounts may be prorated to coincide with the annual anniversary of your first account. If You have any question regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, You must contact Shooger's Customer Service Department within thirty (30) days of the charge date, in writing, by sending an email to: email@example.com. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges submitted by Shooger in accordance with this Agreement.
VIII. Merchant Subscriptions
If You subscribed for a Merchant account pursuant to a special offer granting You a free trial period, your activation fee and initial monthly service fee will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT (meaning the amounts pre-authorized will not be considered available credit or debit funds in such account) and will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH), without further authorization from You, upon the expiration of such free trial period, unless You provide prior notice (in accordance with Our verification procedures, as may be established by Us from time to time in Our sole discretion) that You have terminated this authorization prior to the expiration of the trial period; provided, however, that such notice will not affect charges submitted before We reasonably could act on your notice.
If You subscribed for a Merchant account pursuant to a special offer granting a pre-paid discount for a fixed period of time, your pre-paid fees are payable in advance and may be refunded or partially refunded on a case by case basis according to Company refund policies. In addition, your initial service fee for the billing cycle immediately following your pre-paid period will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT and will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH), without further authorization from You, upon the expiration of such pre-paid period, unless You provide prior notice (in accordance with Our verification procedures, as may be established by Us from time to time in Our sole discretion) that You have terminated this authorization; provided, however, that such notice will not affect charges submitted before We reasonably could act on your notice.
Some Merchant Services may be payable in advance by deposit of a fixed amount as set from time to time by Us. Merchants with higher service needs may increase the size of their deposit by logging into their account at the Website or by contacting Customer Service. This deposit will be due and payable immediately upon your use of the Services (or, in the event You are provided with a free or included credit, upon your depletion of such credit). As a result, the first time You use any of these Services (following your depletion of your free or included credit, if any), your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH) will immediately be charged an amount up to, but not exceeding the aggregate amount of such deposit without further authorization from You. Your deposit will thereafter be depleted based upon your use of the Services or any other usage-based charges, according to standard rates for these Services. Thereafter, each time your deposit is depleted, your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH) will be immediately charged for another fixed deposit in the same amount as the prior deposit (or a fraction of your prior deposit), will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH), subject to Your prior authorization as designated by You in your preferences for automatic charging for Services. This deposit will thereafter be depleted based upon your use of Our usage-based Services, according to Our rates for these Services.
Merchant "Pay-per-Call" and "Pay-per-Lead" – both to be referred to as "PPL" in these Terms hereto forth - subscriptions are based on a pre-determined price per action and monthly budget as determined by You and Our Sales Representative at the moment of initial sign up for Our services. PPL subscriptions require a minimum duration of active service of 3 months (90 days). Cancellation is possible at any time after that 3-month (90 day) period. In addition to Your monthly service fee for using Our advertising platform, You'll only be charged each time We acquire a lead for You as defined by Your subscription. Your budget can be modified (increased or decreased) by You either in writing or with Your verbal consent over a phone conversation with one of our Sales or Customer Service Representatives.
The definition of a Lead is established at the moment of sign-up for Our service. In some cases a Lead is defined as a Phone Call to Your Call Tracking phone number which exceeds an amount of time agreed to by You and one of Our sales representatives. This minimum call duration can be 30, 45, 60, or 90 seconds. In other cases a Lead can be defined as a potential customer who has visited Your Business Conversion Website on Our platform and who fills out a contact form which You then receive as a Lead by email and through Your Merchant App or Merchant Backend.
All PPL subscriptions are accompanied by a Call Tracking Number – known hereto forth as a "CT#" - which is owned by Us and attributed exclusively to You. This number is Our property for the duration of Your subscription to our service and You have the ability to set and change the Destination Phone Number – known hereto forth as a "DP#" - to which this CT# is routed. Access to phone call recordings is available, by default, from Your Merchant Backend and can at any time be removed as per Your request. At the time of Cancellation or Termination of services, Your CT# becomes unused and can be recovered by You only by specific written request in the 30 day period following Your subscription's termination.
In the event We submit charges for your Merchant account for recurring service fees and those charges are rejected by your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate), You hereby authorize Us to use your deposit to pay for any monthly service fee due until We are able to successfully charge your card or account. In the event We are subsequently able to successfully process your monthly service fee through your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH), We will automatically replenish your deposit for all monthly service fees paid from your deposit and will charge your credit or debit card or bank account (ACH) in an amount equal to this amount and You hereby authorize Us to do so. You agree that We may submit charges for these deposits without further authorization from You, until You provide prior notice (in accordance with Our verification procedures, as may be established by Us from time to time in Our sole discretion) that You have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card or account; provided, however, that such notice will not affect charges submitted before We reasonably could act on your notice. Upon Our receipt of Your notice (in accordance with Our verification procedures, as may be established by Us from time to time in Our sole discretion) from You that You have terminated this authorization, You will be entitled to a refund of any unused portion of your most recent deposit, unless there are any outstanding charges resulting from use of your account (including those charges described in the preceding paragraph), in which case the remainder of your deposit will be applied to satisfy such charges.
You agree to promptly notify Us of changes to the type, account number, expiration date, CVV, Address, or status (Active, Cancelled, lost, etc.) of your designated credit or debit card or bank account (ACH), or in any changes to your payment method on record.
IX. Termination
Either You or Shooger may terminate your Shooger account at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to the other party. Any such notice by You to Shooger must be in accordance with Shooger's verification procedures, as such procedures may be established and changed by Shooger from time to time in its sole discretion, and which may include the requirement that You contact Shooger by phone to confirm that any such notice was in fact sent by You. Shooger also reserves the right to terminate or suspend your Shooger account without prior notice, provided that Shooger will attempt to confirm such termination or suspension by subsequent notice.
Without limiting the foregoing, Shooger may terminate your account without notice if You or an intermediary blocks or filters any emails sent by or on behalf of Shooger to your email account(s) or your phone(s) where You receive your messages.
Subject to any applicable laws, Shooger reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Shooger account without notice upon rejection of any credit or debit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to Shooger when Shooger believes You are liable for the charge and all other fees and costs incurred by Shooger in connection with such rejection or return payment. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available to Shooger. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or your Shooger account for any reason, you shall be responsible for all amounts chargeable to you under this Agreement before such termination became effective. In addition, our license to all Content provided to Us by You, your obligation to indemnify Us, the limitations of our liability, and the other provisions of this Agreement which by their nature survive shall survive any termination of this Agreement or your account and remain in full force and effect.
If you sign a Shooger Purchase Order it will expire at the end of the Commitment Period unless (i) otherwise terminated earlier under these Terms or (ii) the Purchase Order contains a renewal period that automatically extends the term of the Purchase Order beyond the Commitment Period (collectively the "PO Term"). Client must provide written notice to terminate a Purchase Order on or before the 15th day of the month in order for the Purchase Order to terminate at the end of that month. If Client provides written notice after the 15th day of the month, then the Purchase Order will terminate at the end of the following month. Unless otherwise terminated as provided under the Terms, the Terms will automatically expire three (3) months after the termination or expiration of the last surviving Purchase Order.
IF CLIENT TERMINATES A PURCHASE ORDER BEFORE THE END OF THE COMMITMENT PERIOD, CLIENT AGREES TO PAY ANY AND ALL EARLY TERMINATION FEES SET FORTH IN THE PURCHASE ORDER(S), RECOGNIZING THAT Shooger BEARS CERTAIN UP-FRONT COSTS, AND THAT THERE IS AN IMPLIED PRICING DISCOUNT BASED ON THE LENGTH OF CLIENT'S CHOSEN COMMITMENT PERIOD.
Shooger may terminate any Purchase Order or the Terms at any time for any or no reason without liability, effective immediately, by providing written notice to Client. In the event of such termination, Client will immediately pay all unpaid Shooger fees through the date of termination, and Shooger will reimburse any fees that were prepaid for Shooger services to be rendered after the date of such termination.
X. Modifications
Shooger may amend this Agreement at any time by posting a revised Agreement on the Shooger Website, and/or sending information regarding the amendment to the email address You provide to Shooger. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the Shooger website to obtain timely notice of such amendments. You shall be deemed to have accepted such amendments by your continued use of the Services after such amendments have been posted or information regarding such amendments has been sent to You.
Shooger reserves the right to modify or discontinue any of the Services with or without notice to You. Shooger shall not be liable to You or any third party should Shooger exercise its right to modify or discontinue the Services.
Your right to use the Services is personal to You. You agree not to resell the use of the Services.
XI. Intellectual Property and Copyright

Criminally Good News
Once upon a time, I was a little girl who loved fairy tale bedtime stories.
Once upon a time, my long-suffering and infinitely-patient parents banned certain fairy tales from bedtime… because I asked too many questions. With all my whys and hows and wait-a-minutes, it could take hours to reach the happily ever after. And none of their answers were particularly satisfying.
The Princess and the Pea was one of the first stories to be eliminated from our bedtime repertoire.
I'm not a little girl anymore, but I couldn't forget those questions.* So, I came up with my own answers…
Starting in winter 2015 you'll be able to find them in:
HOLD ME LIKE A BREATH : Once Upon a Crime Family– book 1
As the name implies, the books are crime family fairy tale retellings. And the crime families traffic human organs.
It's YA. A little bit thriller. A little bit fairy tale. And, of course there are kissing scenes!
Here's what Publisher's Weekly had to say:
*yes, I'll definitely share a whole lot more about which questions inspired this story, but you'll have to be a little bit patient…

Sewing is a beautiful hobby that our mothers and grandmothers used to practice in their free time. They would make beautiful works for decoration, clothes, and gift them to family. Sewing is a true craft, where the idea of the creator is applied through his technical skill in any direction he would like.
Believe it or not, getting started with sewing is actually very simple. It does look confusing at first, or actually easy if you are looking at a true professional, but you can actually get started quickly with resources you can gather online. Of course, if you have a sewing expert in your family, you should definitely have them by your side to guide your hand while you learn. Without further ado, let's get started with the guide!
First of all, you will need a sewing kit, as well as a sewing machine. We know many of our readers are people with kids, and kids can get started quickly as well. Heck, you can even practice sewing together. Beginning sewing machine for kids will let your child enjoy sewing safely, and start practicing a useful craft early in life. If you would like to know more about these machines, make sure to check sewing machines for kids reviews. Here's a kid sewing machine reviews site that we can absolutely recommend!
Also, if you are on a smaller budget, cheap sewing machine for kids can be bought for change, yes, even a brand new one. The Singer brand is a reputable brand that you should check out if you're in the market for one. Singer kids sewing machine is among the best choices as a starter machine.
Once you have a machine, you can check out tutorials on youtube, and follow step by step guides online from beginner level crafts, all the way to complicated sewing tricks by many professional sewing content creators. Just type sewing tutorials in the youtube search box to get started. You can easily find content creators geared towards the younger viewers too, and your children can enjoy family-friendly content while learning the craft. Also, Sewing Machine Buffs has a tremendous amount of content for you, and are the central hub of all sewing material on the internet. Their blog should be one of the first places you visit while learning to sew!
You will want to gradually move on to higher levels of difficulty and try out new things. At some point, when you feel comfortable enough, you can pick up old clothes and try your best to sew any tears in them. If you are good enough, you will soon have brand new clothes to wear once again after you thought you were done with them. Sewing can save a lot of money, and basically, pay itself off quickly if you put in the time and effort. To conclude, we wish you the best of luck, and we want to thank our friends at Sewing Machine Buffs for helping us prepare this article.

From downtown Hull/Gatineau core, take Route 5 North to the end of the highway (approximately 45 kilometers). Go toward the Gatineau river to Route 105. Turn left and drive north.
As you see an old green steel bridge on the Gatineau River, turn a sharp left on Chemin Plunkett. Then, enter the parking lot in front of St Camillus Church, drive right past the porch of the Parish Hall (grey concrete block structure), and follow the driveway to the left, ending at the old St Joseph schoolhouse parking lot. You've arrived at 42 Plunkett, PAF, our artists' studio building.
Welcome to PAF-FAS in the Outaouais!

It's the first day of the final round of the group stages, and as you'll notice games are played at the same time now in an effort to prevent fixing matches, as the Germans and Austrians did so famously in 1982. These are the times in life where putting two televisions in your living room proves to be a quality idea. Still, if these teams wanted to they could fix this result, as both teams have four points right now while the other two in their group only have one. If Mexico and Uruguay tie, both would advance. I don't see that happening though, because whoever takes second in this group is going to likely have to face Argentina in the knockout round. South American teams have been hot in this tournament, so I'm going to roll the dice and give them the victory.
Uruguay 1, Mexico 0
Group A - France vs. South Africa - 9am - ESPN2
Neither team is eliminated as of yet, although the French team are acting as if they were. Players are being sent home, no one is showing up to practice, and the team is in complete disarray at this point. South Africa, on the other hand, will be putting everything they have into a victory here, a) to possibly qualify to the Round of 16 but b) to go out of this Cup on a positive note. France doesn't seem like they want to win this game, but I don't think South Africa is good enough to beat even that kind of team.
France 1, South Africa 1
Group B - Nigeria vs. South Korea - 1:30pm - ESPN
It's been a very disappointing cup for the Nigerians, although they could still advance to the Round of 16 despite losing their first two matches. They would have to beat South Korea and have Argentina beat Greece, and they would also have to go ahead up one in goal differential. I think Argentina wins their game, and South Korea looked a bit weak in their matchup against Argentina even though they dominated the Greek. Nigeria was hurt by a red card in their last game though, and I don't think we've seen the best of them yet. I'm going to go off on a limb here and say that somehow, Nigeria is going to advance. This is the first time doing my predictions though where I'm predicting something in which I know I will get wrong, but whatever.
Nigeria 2, South Korea 0
Group B - Argentina vs. Greece - 1:30pm - ESPN2
For my Nigerian theory to work, Argentina needs to knock of Greece, and I don't think that will be a problem. I was not impressed with Greece in their loss to South Korea, and I still wasn't impressed with their victory against the Nigerians that came thanks to a red card. This, and I really just don't like the Greek because their names are too long to write out, so let's predict their demise.
Argentina 3, Greece 1

Move Naturally
You don't need a formal, rigorous exercise plan. We're talking here a
change in lifestyle that is fundamentally active. We're designed to
move. We've not meant to drive 100 meters in a car to pick up chips at
the local store. Walk, do yard work, whatever. Do exercises/activities
that you enjoy.
Have Right Outlook
Slow down. When you're constantly in a hurry and stressed out, this has
a negative impact on your health. Limiting negative stress is one of
the healthiest things you can do for yourself.
(3) Have a clear purpose. The Japanese call it "ikigai" 生き甲斐 (lit: life + value, be worth while). You must have a passion, a calling, a purpose. There's got to be a reason to get out of bed every day.
Eat Wisely
(4) Drink a little (wine) everyday.
(5) Eat mainly plant-based foods. Small amounts of meat and fish are OK.
(6) Hara Hachi Bu: Eat until 80% full. Do not eat eat until you're stuffed.
Be Connected with others
(7) Put family, loved ones first.
(8) Belong to a community. Many in his study belonged to faith-based communities.
(9) Belong to the right tribe. That is, hang out with people with healthy habits, physical and emotional ones.

This show is certainly one of the best that i've seen.The story usually starts off pretty shallow at first it sort of feels like that you can predict everything that can happen next like reading a book, pretty straightfoward.However, the plot does pick up when Saber comes in and episode after episode the plot thickens the story keeps getting better and better lots of twists are introduced such as the negative impact it has on the body and it so seems that sheer hopelessness is brought on humanity due to this.But as i said earlier the stort is pretty shallow at first in fact at first it seems that the story is seemingly pointless but thank god it gets better later on.So you have to bear with it until the plot thickens which is not far to wait.
Too many ups and downs, there are always signs of repeated usage of cells, but, when Blade battles another teknoman the animation quality gets really good however when he normally battles spider crabs the animation rapidly goes down to boring.The design of the tekno armor was impressive though especially when he powered up into the second form, the last fight between Saber and Blade, well its pretty hard to put into words but it had a deeper meaning than just a fight, during most of the fight they were flying all over the earth, I beleive that the ture purpose was to show just exactely what was at stake, it was a battle that had a really true meaning behind it.
The soundtrack was really good it went form deep dramatic to to festive.The voice acting was suprising for a 90's anime was well done and the Japanese, well off course they always do good voice acting.
These chracters were given deep and complex emotions in fact every one of these chracters develop.It creates the atmosphere is such that you feel that this is a real person with real emotions you are looking at here, as I said before, they all develop especially Blade, Starr and Ringo which is good because these are the main chracters.
This is one show i will never forget, simply put it was amazing, but Blade suffered too much for humanity's sake i mean he lost all of his memories and family actually he was forced to kill them.But at least the girl who likes him lives at the end, this series is a must watch.
Good story and the english Dub is pretty decent. Some filler episodes but just a couple but overall I enjoyed the series!
It is with great pleasure for me to tell you why I liked this anime. First off, it does have some flaws that do stand out such as a few too many recap episodes, which you can skip at your leisure, but other than that, it's virtually near perfection. The first half of the story will be at a very fast pace and depending on how much time you have, you can probably watch a significant portion of this 49 episode series in one setting. But with the second half, it does get a little slow progressively until near the end, but it's because of certain circumstantial reasons within the story of why it slows down, but when you get to the ending, it picks up again.
But the best quality of this anime is definitely its character development. Initially, there will be characters you will not be able to stand and you wish for them to get what's coming to them for how they act and treat D-Boy. But as time goes on, the characters do grow on you and show significant maturity where your feelings of them drastically change. Another great point in which contributes to the development is of course the relationships between the characters. It's about family, friendship and love. Initially the characters egos will be a driving force of internal conflicts, but as time goes on, they will unite and come to accept each other as family and support.
But despite these find qualities, the story overall is still dark and gritty and I felt it was a good foundation to build and develop the characters on. Certain parts of the story will really make you feel sad for D-Boy for what he has to go through throughout the series. Initially he's this self-centered guy, but comes to learn that nobody can live alone. I feel a lot of the development of the characters and their relationships is a high point because I think everybody can relate to it.
I have to say that the art and animation for an early 90s anime is top notch. I originally thought this anime shared the same character designer of Gundam 0083 because the style of those characters, looked like the characters of this anime, but despite my false assumption, the character designs are done by Kogawa Tomonori, the designer of another personal favorite of mine, Tomino Yoshiyuki's Aura Battler Dunbine. When I compared the heavy clothing of lets say Aki and D-Boy to Sho's, I could see the resemblance of how he approaches such things and I have to say the 10 year gap between both series shows a significant bounds of evolution with his art style. I'll admit the character designs aren't exactly state of the art with wicked hairstyles, but the art is still complex by exhibiting a lot of the emotion this anime caries with the postures, ways of walking, and facial expressions.
The designs and transformations of the Tekkaman in this installment are of course more sophisticated and very uniquely organic which helps makes this anime stand out in comparison to your typical mech anime nowadays. In comparison to the original Tekkaman, which looked more like a European Knight hence the title Space Knight, Tekkaman Blade's edginess and angles give a more distinctive samurai look to it and really compliments the style of the action where it's fast paced, explosive, and agile. Unfortunately, there are moments in the 2nd half of the series, specifically between Blade and Evil where the action gets DBZ-ish, but then again, it was 1992 when DBZ was all the rage so they were trying to capitalize on it, but I guess it does capture the more organic nature of this anime in relation to being a Tekkaman in this installment. But the most bad ass of the fights is of course the use of the Voltekka, Tekkaman's ultimate attack which was in the original series as well but drastically changed in this version. The special effects will kind of look like a kamehameha but when you see it in action, it's still really bad ass and appropriate in this anime in context to everything related in it. So it's a nice touch.
But if there was one thing I didn't like about the designs, it was the one-dimensional approach to the villains. In the original Tekkaman, you got all kinds of aliens with different gimmicks, while in this one, it's mostly just the giant alien spiders and the evil Tekkaman for Tekkaman to fight. But other than that, everything else is cool.
The seiyuu cast of this respective series is certainly top notch and has a handful of my personal favorites. D-Boy is played by Morikawa Toshiyuki, the voice of Griffith from Berserk, and Vorg from Hajime no Ippo. In those roles, he was more quiet and calm, while in this role, he was shockingly hot headed and hostile and I wasn't even able to recognize that it was the same actor after I looked it up. After all the anime I watched in Japanese, I'm pretty good at recognizing seiyuus, but Morikawa really took me by surprise in this one and just saying this should give you an idea of how excellent his voice acting will be as D-Boy when you get to watch this anime. And my favorite female seiyuu, Hayashibara Megumi, the voice of female Ranma, Rei from Evangelion, and Faye from Cowboy Bebop plays Aki. Aki's design may not really compare to other babes of anime, but I felt Hayashibara's talented voice acting really brought out her inner beauty and makes you drawn to just her character, and this will really be emphasized in the second half. And I can't deny the presence of the late great Suzuoki Hirotaka, the voice of Bright from Gundam, Kuno from Ranma, and Seiryuu from Saint Seiya and many, many, many other roles as the voice of Chief Freeman. He really brings out the well intended scheming personality of the character to life and just the way he sounds really makes you think what kind of a character Freeman really is just like how Noal kind of always has his suspicious about him. And one last seiyuu I want to mention is Koyasu Takehito, the voice of Tekkaman Evil. Due to time constraints I won't elaborate too much on this, but if you've seen my review of Initial D 4th Stage, I really praised him for his performance in that anime, but his talent in making his character stand out is present here as well. I really like how he makes Tekkaman Evil provoking and provocative, but still has this mystique surrounding him. There are a lot more names I want to get into, but I have to end it there, so time to move onto the music.
The opening and ending themes are explosive and energetic that really reflect the action intense and relationship based tones of this anime overall and are addictive. The background tracks are all selectively and conducingly appropriate to the mood of the moment whether happy or sad. And the transformation music of Tekkaman itself feels like it was composed by the great John Williams himself.
Even though I have to admit some of the concepts don't seem to be that new or innovating in relation to the story, I think it's presentation still gives it a unique flavor of freshness where it does come across as original. To say it in a nutshell, I felt a lot of the features of Zeta Gundam, Gundam Wing, Macross, and the original respective novels of Starship Troopers and War of the Worlds along with some of the new features of the Tekkaman armor were put together to create this masterpiece. Very little can critics and audiences say remakes will surpass the original, and I'll admit I prefer this series overall the original. But I personally find it impossible to really compare the two series, especially when mech and sci-fi anime overall drastically changed since the broadcasting of these two respective series. Even though they share the same name of Tekkaman, but I feel to compare Blade to the original Tekkaman is like comparing Gundam Wing to Tetsujin 28 or Gigantor. But I'll get into some of those qualities in my review of the original Tekkaman which you have to stay tuned for.
it was the first anime i saw even before i knew what anime was in the first place and i have fond memories of watching this when i came home from school
TEASER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR83jBjH7lU
Although old, the graphics are still very good. And I'm not talking about the human figures or the spaceships; to hell with them; they are one of the same. I am referring to the bioorganic alien Tekkaman suits. Many series have bioorganic suits in them (Guyver being the most known) but none were that imposing. Slick drawings, cool to look at, awesome to watch them fight. They are the main attraction that keeps you watching even through boring episodes.
Tekkaman had great battles by combining mecha elements with martial arts in an era were almost all science fiction series had simply bulky robots throwing missiles and fighting with swords. The only anime that I can think of that has better action scenes of this kind is the much recent Karas.
As for the rest of the non-action time, there is still enough to keep you optically interested. There are gorgeous women to look at, villainous-looking, scheming military men and detailed spaceships/futuristic bases. Anything a classic title deserves to have.
As for the bad part, there is unfortunately plenty of repeating footage going around. Many battles repeat the same action clips in very obvious ways, which is infuriating.
The sound department is also very good. Decent voices that allow you to easily bind with the characters and hard pop music themes that increase the adrenaline sky-hi. More specifically, the second opening song is amongst the best I have ever heard (and I have heard a lot).
A weak point of the series. In the future, insectoid aliens attack Earth and a man possessing (or better say, has been possessed by) alien technology tries to stop them. Tekkaman is a bioorganic suit with an alien parasite that uses a human host as a main body. Anyone who is trapped inside an alien cocoon-like tube for a long time, is turned into a mindless killing machine, bind on destroying humanity. The protagonist escapes before the transformation is complete and thus can use the suit without loosing his sanity. He is aided by friends in military Earth staff, who help him feel human again after every transformation.
Most of the scenario elements are pretty typical in superhero series. The protagonist uses an energy crystal to transform, yells sound activating special attacks and even fights with far-east-like style of fighting. There are several plot twists that prevent the story from being stale. The protagonist's past is slowly revealed, old friends-turned-rivals appear, he tries to have a normal relationship with the leading woman, he gets weapon upgrades, he tries not to loose his sanity, and not to turn into a mindless weapon for some treacherous military men. But still, the plot moves rather slowly and has several unimportant battles with secondary uninteresting villains, becoming boring half the times.
All the series revolves around the protagonist, D-Boy, as he struggles to save the Earth, avenge the aliens for what they did to (I'm not revealing that! It's a spoiler!) and have a relationship with the leading female. The other strong characters in the story are the woman he loves that continually reminds him of what it means to be human and his main rival who (what a surprise!) is the strongest enemy Tekkaman. These three are so memorable that make up for all the rest who don't really have a personality or character development. There is sadness, anger, angst, and laughter, enough to consider the series a space opera at the non-action points. Some really fake characters and the overusing of melodramatic scenes spoils a perfect mark but in general, the characters are good.
It's still amongst the best action/science fiction series. It has cool battle suits. It's partially centered on love, hate, sadness and the human psyche. It is not repeating the same stuff over and over. What more could someone want? Many parts will feel repetitive or fake but then the battle begins and you forget everything.
And now for some excused scorings.

How to Identify Antique Wash Basin Cabinets
Wash basin cabinets, often simply called washstands, were standard bedroom furniture in the days before indoor plumbing. Centers for daily ablutions, they held ceramic wash basins and their accompanying water pitchers. Every house had at least one, so antique washstands abound and you can find them at antique stores, flea markets and yard sales. Separating the genuine antique from a newer copy is usually a straightforward task. Sometimes, though, you'll need to use a bit more discernment.
Abundant Supplies
Late 19th- and early 20th-century cabinets were wide enough to accommodate the bowl and pitcher, as well as miscellaneous toiletries. Victorian pieces could be as fancy as carved parlor furniture or as plain as streamlined, Eastlake examples with simple beading and shallow carving. Oak pieces -- sometimes called "golden oak" -- with serpentine tops came in about 1880 to 1910, and are easily found. Mission pieces, dating from about 1900 to 1930, are straight-lined and boxy with with no surface decoration. They were fewer in number and are harder to find. Once these cabinets outlived their usefulness, many were relegated to attics and guest rooms.
Older Washstands
Washstands from earlier periods, about 1820 and before, were actually not cabinets at all. Truly stands, they were leggy and just wide enough to recess a ceramic basin into an 11-inch or so cutout. A single shelf underneath held the water pitcher. Fine examples would hold expensive porcelain vessels from Europe or China. You might find copies of these from the Colonial Revival period of the 20th century. Almost antiques now, these machine-made pieces have sturdy, consistently sized, wooden members. Earlier period pieces were shop made and had more variable members.
Using Old Cabinets
Wash basin cabinets made a comeback in the mid- to late 20th century with the revival of Victorian, American primitive and country styling. They are useful wherever you need to tuck in a little extra storage or counter space. In entry halls, they serve as dropping off spots for keys and cell phones. Many found use as stereo cabinets. The recent popularity of built-in cabinetry that resembles free-standing furniture has given rise to the washstand-to-vanity conversion. Outfitted with modern plumbing and, sometimes, granite counter tops, these recycled stands serve their original purpose once again.
Washstand Shopping
Buy well-built, solid wood cabinets in good condition. Avoid pieces with missing doors, drawer fronts and the like. Wood surfaces can be gently worn, but still attractive. Lightweight and rickety pieces won't support the added weight of plumbing fixtures, especially if you're adding a stone top. Take measurements with you when you shop. The availability of wash basin cabinets means prices shouldn't be high. If a price is too high, make a counteroffer and be prepared to walk away if it's not accepted. Ask the dealer if he guarantees the item as described, and get a receipt with item details.

What Is Orthognathic Surgery in Atlanta?
When your jaws are improperly positioned, you can experience a host of problems, such as difficulty chewing, biting, swallowing, speaking, and breathing. It can also lead to chronic pain. Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, can realign jaws that don't meet correctly because of heredity, injury, or disease. Common issues addressed by this procedure include open bite or protruding jaw. Not only can jaw surgery improve oral function, but it can also benefit your facial appearance.
The Orthognathic Surgery Procedure
Dr. C. Carson Huynh uses modern computer techniques and three-dimensional models to evaluate individuals considering orthognathic surgery. With comprehensive facial x-rays and video imaging, we can show you how your bite will be improved and even give you an idea of how you'll look after surgery. This helps you understand the surgical process and the extent of the treatment prescribed. Our goal is to help you understand the benefits of orthognathic surgery.
If you are a candidate for corrective jaw surgery, Dr. Huynh will work closely with your orthodontist during your treatment. The actual surgery can move your teeth and jaws into a new position that results in a more attractive, functional, and healthy dental-facial relationship.
Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery
- Improve the processes of chewing, biting, and swallowing
- Eliminate sleep apnea and breathing problems
- Fix a protruding jaw, open bite, and issues that braces and retainers can't correct

The Aesthetics industry is a giant with no signs of slowing down. The global spa services market is expected to increase to $154.6 billion by 2022, according to a report from Research and Markets titled, "The Spa Services Market-Global Opportunity Analysis Industry Forecast from 2014-2022." Men and women globally are on an insatiable quest to look and feel their best.
One dimension of skin rejuvenation is the development of using cutting edge devices to tighten skin at the deeper levels of the skin. Here at Palm Beach Botox after extensive research we have found the gold standard in skin rejuvenation devices which is called Infini®. Infini® is a device for non-surgical skin tightening that utilizes Microneedling with High Intensity Focused Radiofrequency, which is clinically proven to increase collagen production, with results lasting up to seven years. According to Dr. Steven Weiner, a plastic surgeon, who has used Infini® since its inception and has now performed thousands of procedures, it is "the best tightening technology of 2016." The ideal candidate for Infini® RF Micro-needling has one or more of the following aesthetic concerns: mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines and creases, or acne scarring.
Infini® is clinically tested and cleared by the FDA as a safe and effective procedure for skin tightening. The technology uses Radiofrequency energy, which is placed into the deeper layers of the skin by way of gold insulated needles. The Radiofrequency energy penetrates into the dermis, creating a thermal coagulation zone. The heat stimulates your body to rebuild collagen, the absence of which is the main cause of wrinkles in aging skin. The needles are inserted into the skin in a quick and precise manner, which means less pain for the patient. The needles are insulated so the epidermis is protected; making this a safe and effective treatment for all skin types with no risk of post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation or in layman's terms darkened spots, and hence no down time. Topical numbing medication is applied prior to the procedure to relieve any discomfort. Patients are able to wear makeup the next day. Compared with other similar devices but with different technologies (such as the CO2 Laser and Ulthera), many patients find the Infini® treatments more comfortable and the recovery quick and easy.
There are very few side effects associated with the procedure. Some patients have slight erythema (redness) afterward, but it usually subsides within 24 hours. Treatment time is usually fifteen minutes to one hour. Although improvement can often be seen after one treatment, we suggest three to four sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. Consultations are free in our office.
Before Infini®, both microneedling and radiofrequency were methods used around the world for many decades. Microneedling alone done with a small pen like device provided limited results for wrinkles and acne scarring. Radiofrequency energy delivered from the surface with a device such as Thermage® or Thermi® often do not produce the thermal coagulation zones in the dermis needed for optimal results. Moreover, it is important to address the danger of indiscriminate heating of all tissues from the surface of skin, which may cause long term deleterious effects such as, melting of the subcutaneous fat and cause a haggard look to the face. This unwanted effect was seen with Thermage® in some patients after years or decades of treatment. Infini® addresses these concerns by selective targeted heating in deep dermis and yields results that catapult us into a 21st century where plastic surgery has fallen behind the non-surgical procedures in facial rejuvenation.
Along with Infini®, Palm Beach Botox also offers full spectrum of facial aesthetic services. Palm Beach Botox, 16244 S. Mlitary Trail, Suite 150. www.palmbeachbotox.com 561-376-2790.
