Chapter 1
Virgin-white Nike's slap against the New York City sidewalk. My racing reflection slides from shop window to shop window at street level, the sneakers beating out an insistent rhythm.
Fifteen pounds.
Pulling the New York Mets baseball cap from my head, I mop at sweat with one forearm, not breaking stride. Mental images keep pace with my reflection. I am onscreen, the part gritty, touching, honest. I am Ibsen's frustrated Nora or Shakespeare's mad Desdemona. Audiences ache at the tragedy of these women. What have fifteen pounds got to do with it?
Sweat streams down my back. I am a heroine with a Marilyn Monroe-like innocence who falls hard for a powerful man. Love grants her the hubris to believe she can save her man's soul, repairing what power has done to him, but he views her as a liability. Tragedy results. It's a classic that will someday be written just for me. What have fifteen pounds got to do with it?
I stop to massage my calf, then resume the pace. I know that casting directors cram me into a box labeled "LATINA" in bold letters. That will change.
Gasping for air, I slow a bit. Running is so not my style. With no desire to be skinny, I find a five-foot-four-inch, size-ten physique suits me fine. The fashion model ideal – face gaunt with an animal hunger, body desperately thin – insults my Latina soul. I'm an actress. A whole, real person.
But last week's audition for a TV commercial pried my reluctant eyes open. One of the casting crew whispered to another, "She's good." The other answered, "Chubby, don't you think?"
Chubby? Haven't they heard the Native American saying, "Everything strives to be round?" My Mexican background incorporates the wisdom of both Spain and the Native races.
Still, it's so difficult to get a part – any part – that there's no way I'm going to let a few pounds stop me. In six weeks I will be fifteen pounds lighter. I've promised myself. I take a deep breath and kick up the pace. Brakes screech from down the block, an eighteen-wheeler, as I turn north from Christopher Street onto Greenwich Avenue. The roar of Manhattan overwhelms the early morning. Later in the day, by some unlikely alchemy, the din recedes to steady backdrop as the streets fill with people.
America the Beautiful plays in plinky harpsichord style from the vicinity of my hip. I skid to a stop by Grano Trattoria. Already, the pungent aroma of simmering marinara sauce wafts out into the October morning. Ever since I began these early morning outings – when they were brisk walks, not lung-bursting jogs – I've loved to snake my way through the Village, discovering new shops and restaurants, trying not to lock myself into any one route.
A call at this hour? I should have switched the phone to vibrate, and am lucky to have heard it. Gulping for breath, one arm extended to lean against a tree, I pray silently to the patron saint of desperate causes, Saint Jude, don't let it be bad news. My prayer comes out in English, not Spanish. Latin roots give me passion, strength, history, but I've vowed that here, in the city of possibilities, I will perfect the demeanor of a sophisticated gringa.
Slipping my smartphone from the pocket of my shorts, I resume a slow jog. Yellow leaves shush against my sneakers as I slide the green icon to answer the call. My roommate Brittany's skinny-girl smile is evident as she speaks into the phone. "America, where are you?" Brit has just arrived home from the overnight shift at Dunkin' Donuts.
"Running," I squeeze out between huffs. "Fat-burning project. Day five."
"You go, girl…Uh, would you bring me – "
The sidewalk vibrates. A subway passes under my feet, the rumble drowning Brittany's voice. Like always, the sheer power of this city sends a tingle from my toes to the roots of my hair. I gulp the emission-filled air. I couldn't live anywhere else.
"What?" I say into the phone.
"Bagel," she shouts. "Cinnamon with cream cheese."
"Sure." I turn back, panting, toward the deli a block or so behind me.
"Oh, and you had a call, your – "
Brittany's high-pitched shout pierces my ear. "Your aunt."
"Tía Teresa?" The sweat on my brow turns cold. "Any message?"
"Call her back A-SAP."
Dios! It's only four-thirty in the morning Albuquerque time. Something must be wrong with Mama.
It's too noisy out here on the street to talk to my aunt. Abandoning Brittany's bagel and my plans to turn west and jog along Hudson River Park, I duck into a recessed entranceway. I dial Tía Teresa's number, leaning my forehead against the wall and cupping my ear to mute the city sounds.
"Bueno," she answers.
"Tía Teresa, it's America."
"Madre de Dios, I forgot how early it is in New York. Only six-thirty. I'm sorry." My talented aunt, an artist, keeps unconventional hours, sleeping and painting whenever she chooses.
"Is everything all right?"
There is a silence. I picture Teresa shaking her head, silver earrings swinging. "Your Mama is complaining. She wants you home."
For several seconds my tongue won't work. "Is she sick?"
"Mi'ja, it's so difficult to tell. She says she's nervous, her legs hurt, and she's scared to drive. She thinks she needs you here, but I think she is okay. Mostly just cranky."
I press the phone to my ear as a car dragging its bumper in a shower of sparks drives by. "Do you think I should come home?"
Teresa sighs. "I think you should wait a few days. See how she does. I'll let you know." She clicks her tongue in a scolding way. "Your mama is a good woman, but she always wants things her way."
I let out a gust of air. I've been holding my breath. "You really think it's okay? To wait, I mean?" I close my eyes and feel tears of relief, hot against my lids.
"You need to live your life," my aunt says. "I think it's best to wait."
When I hang up, I collapse against the cool bricks of the entrance wall. Just when I know I'm about to make big headway in my career. Dammit! None of this is new. Mama has been a hypochondriac since…well…forever. Over the years she has perfected her complaints so that even I believe them sometimes. But the fact that my tía called is unusual. Should I make plans to fly to New Mexico? No, Teresa said to wait; I will wait.
I head for my apartment, jogging again, swerving to miss the few people who are out at this time of morning on Saturday. Relax. Everything will be okay.
But will it?
I love getting out early, but a lens of moisture distorts my surroundings. I scrub at my eyes with both fists.
Today, as always, familiar sounds and aromas announce the start of day – the squeal of truck brakes, the warm, yeasty smell of baking bread, the muted bleach fumes where the Korean green-grocer has disinfected the pavement. The expected secrets still unfold before the sun rises. Owners ready their shops for business like stagehands setting up for a play, activities patrons aren't meant to see. But abruptly with Teresa's call, I feel like an outsider, temporarily glimpsing this tableau.
Heart beating like a snare drum, a cramp shoots up my side. I slow for a moment, and the pain eases. Suck it up, girl. Just fifteen pounds. I resume my pace.
Just ahead, construction scaffolding surrounds the first floor of a twenty-story condo. Bright blue canvas partially masks the apparatus, giving it the look of an awning. A man jogs from under the scaffolding, dressed only in sneakers, tight shorts, and sweat. The October morning is a bit chilly for this light dress, and I force a smile.
"Looking good, America," he says.
A big Shepherd-cross dog runs close to his leg. When the dog spots me, his tail beats the air in a frantic arc. He jumps up, front paws on my shoulders.
"Parkway," I say, ruffling the fur on the back of his neck. "How are you, boy?"
I bury my face in his furry neck before he dog drops back to all fours and follows his owner. I watch them for a second or two, jogging backwards, then turn towards home. I found Parkway nearly a year ago. He cowered by the side of the Saw Mill, at the Pleasantville exit, when I returned from visiting a friend in the country. For a few weeks he'd stayed in our cramped apartment. Brittany and Rachel were good sports, but I could see the concern on their faces as he wolfed his food, packing on pounds every day. In two long strides he'd cross the living room. Another stride and an easy jump landed him on the kitchen counter. The cramped quarters were unfair to both the fast-growing, energetic dog and to us. So Mark took him in.
Strays find me. Unerringly. Like my father, who – when he was young – had seven dogs and five rabbits, I cannot ignore an animal in need. Chiquita, a Chihuahua-cross I found snacking on a cheeseburger behind a dumpster, now rules the roost at our apartment.
How can I leave all of this?
A girl I've seen several times before waves from a display where she arranges hats on blank-faced mannequins. She holds up a garnet-colored soft-brimmed number. Hot. I should come back later to try it on. Carrie and her Sex and the City gal-pals can spend their money on shoes. My vice is hats. I pull the bill down on my Mets cap and keep running.
I pass a vendor setting out baskets of Cortland and Macintosh apples, then jog by a sidewalk coffee cart. I slow to a fast walk. My Greenwich Village neighborhood stands apart from the rest of the world, a community of possibilities I would never find in New Mexico. Here, in this city, I am on the cusp, the brink of something wonderful. And the Manhattan skyscrapers soar like my hopes.
I stop moving and bend over, my left hand pressing the cramp in my side. You're an actress, girl. Act through this. I take a deep breath, then force my feet forward. I tell myself it will all work out. New York is my home now.
The move to New York was pure treason, according to my family. Holding my Columbia diploma up like a crucifix, I kept the demon of tradition at bay. But each call from home deposits a measure of guilt. My freedom is pitiless sand trickling through an hourglass. I fear it is using itself up.

Bravo Fido brings clicker training to a whole new level. As part of our positive training repertoire, clicker training is a powerful tool.
It amazes us each time we watch an owner's eyes light up when they realize they are actually communicating with their best friend.
It felt just like magic
I never thought my dog was so smart!
I can't believe how much more attuned we are to one another!
Clicker training is a technique to communicate clearly with your dog. It uses a distinct signal that lets the dog know what he has done has earned him a reward. This allows us to essentially "talk" to your dog in a language he understands. It brings clarity and precision to training. Clicker training gets its name from the device used to make the sound (a clicker).
A clicker is a small device that when pressed produces a distinct click sound. There are a number of types of clickers. The most common is a box clicker. Another popular option is the iclick. Iclick's have a slightly softer sound that can be useful for noise sensitive dogs.
Clicker training is a type of marker training. Marker training can use any signal to mark the behaviour. Clicker training by definition uses a clicker though the terms marker and clicker training are often used interchangeably.
Clicker training is specifically recommended to catch fleeting or momentary behaviours. Timing is crucial in training. However, clickers can be used to train any desired behaviour.
Yes, clicker training works especially well with puppies. A puppy can start its clicker training as early as 3 weeks old (essentially as soon as its eyes and ears are open). Starting early can build good habits that will lay a solid foundation for your puppy's future.
You don't. However, a click is a very unique and brief sound to your dog. Many trainers hold a belief that clickers can be more efficient than the human voice due to the tonal variations of speech and the fact that for the most part human speech is background noise to dogs. Voice markers are used and can be a great tool as well. In fact, many types of signals can be used instead of a clicker: whistles, flashing lights (for deaf dogs), tactile signals (for blind dogs). A clicker is a common and convenient option.
This is a big concern to many people. When clicker training, it is best to use very small pieces of food and subtract these calories from your dog's daily food ration. If this is done well, your dog will not get fat.
No, clickers are most useful for training new behaviours. Solid behaviours can be maintained without it.
Actually clicker training can make what you want clearer to your dog. Training is about economics. Dogs repeat what yields results. In fact clicker training usually makes your dog more attentive.
At Bravo Fido, we understand that dogs and people learn better through success! Working with us means that both you and your dog will benefit from a safe, effective and fun learning experience. If you are interested in clicker training, we can teach you all you need to know. If you have tried clicker training and were disappointed with the results, give us a call. Clicker training is simple but not always easy to apply without proper guidance.
Have you reached a plateau in your training? Give us a call and get to the next level.

The Other Half and I met doing a literature degree. I'd like to say our eyes met across the library… but in reality, I was playing Tetris (I know, so retro) in a lecture and he was sleeping on the desk next to me. We bonded over our shared hatred of Medieval English and a love of skiing. My mum also loves books (I'm actually named after a character from Little Women) and Little Miss' Odd Mother would die for books – she's a literary agent's assistant, not a weirdo.
Little Miss has shown a true love of books since a young age. Even at just 9 months, she would sit and flip through the a board book on her own.
I'd often notice the apartment was suddenly still and quiet. (Cue panic.) And half the time I'd find her simply sitting quietly on the floor of her room with every book pulled off the shelf surrounding her on the floor.
(The other half of the time she would have climbed in the shower in the dark or be chewing on an iPhone charger… I digress…)
So when Parragon Books asked me if I'd like to become a 'Book Buddy' I jumped at the opportunity. Each month, they send Little Miss a new book to explore. And each month, I write about it. Winning!
So to celebrate our new partnership with Parragon, we're giving away A Collection of Nursery Rhymes to one lucky reader.
This collection of over 100 nursery rhymes is part of Parragon's Cute As A Button range, beautifully illustrated by Annabelle Ozanne. She layers and sews material and using a technique called freehand machine embroidery – or as Annabelle calls it, 'doodling with thread'. She then photographs the end result to create the unusual look and feel of these books.
We started introducing Little Miss to paper pages at around 18 months – with mixed results. So A Collection arrived just at the right time. She was instantly taken with it; she loves singing so it was always likely to be a winner. But she also seemed very taken with the illustrations; detailed enough to hold her attention but not overwhelming for younger readers.
A Collection has all the classics and has reminded me of some I'd forgotten all about. For some, it even tells you the actions – just in case you didn't know to rock throughout Seesaw, Margery Daw…
And the first thing I thought when I opened the package was what a lovely gift this would make; the perfect addition to any nursery and is very reasonably priced (RRP: £8.99)
So, to enter, simply comment below with your favourite childhood nursery rhyme.
Good luck!

Lingerie for teenagers seems to have become quite a lucrative business for companies that target such things. It is very simple for your teenage daughter to go shopping at the mall and walk into a place like Victoria's Secret. Most 14 – 17 year old girls have already begun to develop the body type they will keep through adulthood. Therefore, any shop that sells adult female lingerie will also be providing sizes that are worn by teenage girls.
If your teenage daughter is starting to explore her sexuality and attractiveness by shopping for lingerie that you would expect to see on a stripper, it might disturb you a bit. However, in the grand scheme of things, lingerie for teenagers is probably not the most important thing to cause you to mount your soapbox.
As parents of teenagers, we pick and choose our battles. This is an age that encourages self expression as well as a certain amount of independence. If your teenage daughter comes home from a shopping trip excitedly showing you some underwear that nearly makes your heart stop, do everything you can to keep your true opinions to yourself. Who is likely to see this lingerie anyway? (Although that is another subject altogether!) The best way to view it is if this is the worst thing your teenage daughter ever does, you can relax and let up on her a bit.
The problem with lingerie for teenagers is that most of it that is designed with the teenage girl in mind does not really impress them very much. They look at Victoria's Secret catalogues and other adult lingerie resources and THAT is what they like. This lingerie looks mature, which it is, and that maturity is what the teenage girl is striving to attain. She is most likely not interested in the cutesy styles that were designed for the "normal teenage girl."
If you are really lost about what to do, there is a good website at Love to Know.com which might help you to understand the world of lingerie for teenagers. There is a whole section on styles that might appeal to your teenage daughter without turning her into an adult woman too soon. The styles shown here are actually quite pretty as well as tasteful. There is also some information that may help you in handling any issues regarding the lingerie your teenage daughter chooses to wear.
Once again, this is truly only an issue if you choose to make it one. Most teenage girls will follow trends set by their friends. So if their friends are buying their lingerie in adult shops, that is most likely what your daughter will want to do, as well. The bottom line is that it's really just underwear or sleepwear that no one important is ever going to see at this time in her life. Don't make a big deal of it, and the issue will, in all probability, resolve itself.↑ Back to Top

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina State is adding Arkansas guard Dominique Wilson as a transfer.
Wilson, a native of Powder Springs, Ga., will sit out next season and have three years of eligibility remaining.
Wilson started 19 games as a freshman, averaging 6.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 23 minutes per game. Fourteen of those starts came in the final 15 games, where she averaged about nine points and three rebounds.
Wilson was a four-star prospect according to ESPN HoopGurlz out of high school.
New coach Wes Moore said in a statement he is excited to add a player who can stretch a defense with deep shooting range. He also says he expected Wilson "to make an instant impact" in the 2014-15 season.

Backfiring Engine when under increased load
Mower Man posted a topic in EnginesI was wondering if I need a carburetor replacement. I t starts up ok but then it will back fire when I engage the mower belt or shift into second to go forward. It sputters and back fires and usually stops. I then wait a min or less and try to restart it and eventually it will start (5 min) maybe some more back firing and repeat the restart and slowly increase the RPM and then it might work for 30 min or more. Sometimes it backfires under load of tall grass and then I try to restart it. I have dumped the old fuel, replaced the fuel filter, spark plug, cleaned the air filter and put fresh gas into it. I use 100LL Aviation Fuel (no alcohol). I took it to Tractor Service and he cleaned out the fuel line and removed a couple black pieces of dirt in the carburetor. He charged me 2 hrs labor. I have changed the fuel filter, spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Do I need a new carburetor? The fuel filter is never more than 1/4 full. Could it be the fuel pump? It is a 1998 model 773348. It has 275 hrs on the engine. I would like to get it fixed so that the mower works reliably like it did last year. Thanks for your advise. Rodger

Sport and Society in Modern Italy
Instructor: Simon Martin [see profile]
Disciplines: Sociology, History
Course Description
This course will examine the role of sport (with an emphasis on soccer and cycling) in Italian society from historical and contemporary perspectives. The course will consider the relationship between sports and such issues as gender, race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, nationalism, nation-building, the Italian economy, and the role of the media in order to determine how developments in sports have influenced, and have been influenced by, Italian politics and society.
General Plan
The course will begin with a general introduction to Italian history; general ideas, concepts and interpretations. Considering theoretical, real and practical problems in the conceptualization of the nation's identity, these issues will feature throughout the module's exploration of economic, social and political change. Developing a solid grounding in the dramatic changes in Italian society from 1918 until the present, students will be encouraged to explore, analyze and discuss the continuities, or otherwise, in modern Italy. Beginning with the impact of the First World War, the course will pay particular attention to the nature of modern Italy, plus the obstacles and opportunities within its development. Following a consideration of the impact of the war, a detailed study of the interwar period will establish what Italian Fascism was, what it meant for Italian people and what its legacy was. With war once again providing a dramatic rupture in Italian society, politics and history, the post-1945 period will consider the influence of America and the Cold War upon the internal battle for political control between the Left and the Catholic Right. This period will also focus on Italy's economic recovery and re-entry into 'normal' diplomatic relations that was rubber-stamped by the 1960 Rome Olympic Games. With the country's foreign relations stabilized, attention will turn to the internal crises of insurrection, terrorism, mafia activity and corruption. Tangentopoli, the collapse of the old political order, plus the nature, rise and impact of Silvio Berlusconi's entry into politics will conclude the course after which, students will be asked to assess the nature of modern Italy, how we might define it, and to what extent sport has been integral in the construction of any such definitions.
- a midterm
- a final paper (8-10 pages)

Fundraising Night for SMA Support UK
05 April 2017
Molly Davies and her friends at Birmingham City University recently held a fundraising night for SMA Support UK.
They arranged live music and a raffle and Molly's Dad kindly rounded up the fundraising to a fantastic £100! She was raising funds for her nephew's Tribute Fund - Yuma had SMA Type 1 and sadly passed away in February.
Molly's sister Lucy will soon be adding to Yuma's fund by running the London Marathon.
Thank you so much to the Davies family for your incredible efforts.

Haha, I always feel so weird taking a picture of myself, but Reagan was making such cute faces in the mirror on Friday night. :)
We love babies. We love women. We have a heart for strong family units and for adoption. This is OUR issue. And so we are very thankful for organizations such as Life Network who offer unexpected moms and dads free, non-judgemental services - from ultrasounds to counseling and all that's in between. Most importantly, we are excited to support an organization that offers hope. You can't buy that, and it is often hard to come by. Thank you, Life Network, for all that you do!
And as always, thank you McArthur's Bakery for donating your delicious desserts to the banquet. Baha.
{P.S. I feel the need to say this, just because. A little side-note, if you will. I never ever (ever) want any man or woman who has experienced abortion to think that we would judge them or think less of them for a past decision. That is probably my worst fear in bringing tough issues like these up, especially to an internet world of friends I may never see face to face, which is usually why I don't. I think it's important to know that, while we advocate life always, we are equally invested in healing and forgiveness and love.}
I don't think you want to see pictures of what we did with the rest of our weekend, haha. So to break it up a bit - here are a couple more pictures from last weekend. Hey, at least it's something! :)
Evelyn cracks up every time she sees this. :)
I think I had an out of body experience at this point.
In case you're new around these parts: we are RENTERS, so "our" kitchen isn't ours. Of course I immediately started scrubbing with every solution I could find, and nothing worked. I googled. I found a million "tricks" for removing marker stains, and none of them worked. None. That crap wasn't budging. Finally Eric came home with Magic Erasers, which actually did a great job getting the cabinets clean, but didn't touch the refrigerator or floor marks.
At this point, we're kind of freaking out. I mean. We already have to paint this entire place when we move out because of the artwork on the walls. (Gee, we sound like great parents don't we? Haha.) But to have to replace flooring?? We took a special trip to Lowe's and bought sprays and chemicals that specifically stated on the packaging that they were meant for removing permanent marker stains. Hallelujah - we were saved! Not. Those didn't work, either.
Finally, on Sunday, we resorted back to one of the first things we tried. We had run out of 100% acetone on the first day, so we went back to get some more, and that finally did the trick! It was a last ditch effort, and we were beyond relieved to see those dark marks turn to stains, and then stains turn into barely visible lines. We are still working on it, but with a little more elbow grease no one should ever be able to tell the difference.
If you have a baby or toddler in your house, throw away the Sharpies!!! Seriously. Even if you think they are hidden under lock and key. Even if you have some strange hidden addiction to Sharpies. It's not worth it. Trust me. And don't say I didn't warn ya!
And just in case there are any future landlords out there reading this - I promise we are not hooligans set out to destroy your property. :) We'll leave this place BETTER than we found it, but man having lots of little ones sure does make me glad we're not in our "dream home" yet. Haha.
^^By the way...if any of you are ever bored out of your minds and really hungry for pizza, I invite you to a painting party when we move out of this place. :D
Sunday is usually the only full day we have as a family, so after Eric took care of the yard and scrubbed the floor we went for a walk, came home to a very late dinner, and then we crashed. Well, my family crashed, I'm the only crazy one still awake. Blogging. Here I am.
Today promises to be a beautiful day. I need to think of something fun to take advantage of it! Hope we all have a great week ahead!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NDS - Flashcarts and Accessories' started by xCuteBunnyx, Mar 16, 2008.
Is A-Data(4GB) or Kingston(2GB) better for the CycloDS?
They're the same thing as far as I know, A-Data just uses Kingston's microSD's (like many others also do)
whichever is cheaper???
did you decide on a cart yet?
If both are true capacity, I would get the A-Data.
Yea, thanks!
I got a CycloDS : )!
congrats! I've been enjoying mine, I think you'll like it. I would suggest picking up a rom organizer of some sort. I use rominator myself since it's the best one out for the mac right now, though there are other options, it's a nice piece of software! That way, keep track of everything, see box covers, easy transferring, even though I don't think it can get any easier in general.
good luck
Thanks, but its still shipping : (.
Hm..what would it be like if without a "rom organizer." Lol. I'm "technology challenged" so I have no idea what that is haha.
How much would it cost ? o.O
Hows your Cyclo going?
oh and real quick, if you haven't ordered the memory card yet, here is a link to the a-data card at newegg for pretty cheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820211196
the rom organizer is just that. It's a free(rominator is free) program you use to keep track of your games.
there is the link, take a look. It's like itunes for nds games. Once you get your games by whichever means, you add them to the program and it keeps track of them for you. I mean, obviously you could just keep all your games in a folder and just add as you please, but I like it this way. Just a suggestion.
My cyclo, love it, much better than the ds-x I had. I'm about to fly out to montana for a week and got my foot tattooed, arrived just in time, should give me something to do since I can't have shoes on all day.
In all my tests between the two, A-Data is faster. Actually the 2GB MiJ Kingston is pretty slow and does not hold up to the speed capabilities of 1GB and 512MB MiJ Kingston cards.
lol so wrong it isn't even funny. Most Japan-made microSDs that are 2GB or smaller are TOSHIBA made. Not Kingston.
As for the A-Data, look at my sig. That should answer your question. It's fast as hell and cheap. Even beats my Made in Japan 2GB Kingston handily.
A-DATA for me! it's fast and cheap
A-Data now has an 8GB class 6 uSD SDHC card for $54.99 @ newegg. Their 4GB uSD SDHC card was $22.99 when I checked this morning, almost what I paid in November for my 3 2GB Kingston Japan uSDs... (I'd go with 2 4GB uSDs myself as they are slightly cheaper for 8GB...)
uSD SDHC prices are dropping like a rock.
Picture of the card in the box says class4. Yesterday the item page listed it as class 4. Seems like they can't make up their mind.
I have a 1GB Kingston but am quickly running out of space. Can anyone reccomend any international sellers for an A-data 4gb card? I know newegg is good but they don't ship to UK
Are 2gb Adata cards conformed to work properly with Castlevania POR? Were the tests Thorough?
I have Kingston JAPAN version, IT works perfect with Castlevania

Born in the Bronx during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, World Of Troop launched in 1985 and instantly made their mark on the history of urban fashion. At a time when the mainstream viewed Hip-Hop culture as nothing more than a passing fad, Troop was the first brand to embrace and specifically cater to the Hip-Hop consumer with their Troop jacket and Troop sneaker releases.
Nearly 30 years later, a whole new generation is emulating the style that Troop originated back then.
Soon, World Of Troop was on the radar of other major brands and began to grow rapidlyAs popularity rose, Troop began producing full lines of sportswear and athletic shoes. Apparel wise, Troop's most popular items were their distinctive leather Troop jackets, which were available in an array of styles and colors. On the footwear side, the brand's early designs like the Ice Lamb, Mercedes and Pro Edition were very popular within the New York fashion scene. Soon, World Of Troop was on the radar of other major brands and began to grow rapidly outside of NYC and up and down the East Coast to Nationwide. Soon after, the brand would quickly expand Worldwide by the end of 1989.
For a more in-depth look at our product history, browse our Product Archives above.
Staying true to their roots, Troop was also one of the first companies to partner with Hip-Hop artists. As the brand continued to grow, Troop partnered with several notable groundbreaking, platinum-selling artists in the late 1980's to further expand their reach.
As the brand faded in the USA in the early 1990s, Troop continued production in Europe due to strong support from fans, where its run extended for years longer and still maintains a strong underground following.
There has been plenty of rumors and speculation as the company changed hands several times over the years, including a small resurgence of the brand by a notable Hip-Hop artist in the early 2000s. Looking forward, Troop is excited and proud of the brand's future.
For World of Troop's 30th anniversary in 2015, the brand is relaunching on a limited scale, bringing back some of their most storied products in higher quality than ever.

We consider the following problems in a well generated triangulated category $\mathscr{T}$. Let $\alpha$ be a regular cardinal and $\mathscr{T}^{\alpha}\subset \mathscr{T}$ the full subcategory of $\alpha$\nobreakdash-compact objects. Is every functor $H\colon (\mathscr{T}^{\alpha})^{\rm op}\rightarrow{\rm Ab}$ that preserves products of $<\alpha$ objects and takes exact triangles to exact sequences of the form $H\cong\mathscr{T}(-,X)_{|_{\mathscr{T}^{\alpha}}}$ for some $X$ in $\mathscr{T}$? Is every natural transformation $\tau\colon \mathscr{T}(-,X)_{|_{\mathscr{T}^{\alpha}}}\rightarrow \mathscr{T}(-,Y)_{|_{\mathscr{T}^{\alpha}}}$ of the form $\tau=\mathscr{T}(-,f)_{|_{\mathscr{T}^{\alpha}}}$ for some $f\colon X\rightarrow Y$ in $\mathscr{T}$? If the answer to both questions is positive we say that $\mathscr{T}$ satisfies $\alpha$\nobreakdash-Adams representability. A classical result going back to Brown and Adams shows that the stable homotopy category satisfies $\aleph_{0}$\nobreakdash-Adams representability. The case $\alpha=\aleph_{0}$ is well understood thanks to the work of Christensen, Keller and Neeman. We define an obstruction theory to decide when $\mathscr{T}$ satisfies $\alpha$\nobreakdash-Adams representability. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions of homological nature, and we exhibit several examples. In particular, we show that, for all $\alpha\geq\aleph_{0}$, there are rings whose derived category satisfies $\alpha$\nobreakdash-Adams representability and also rings for which the answer to the second question is~no. All the results are in joint work with Fernando Muro.
