Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

This week I'm heading to New York, where I and 9 other bloggers will make holiday desserts in a friendly cook-off hosted by I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I'll keep you posted on the big event, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the competition is up to! As for my creation, it's called "Profiteroles with Peppermint Ice Cream and Chocolate Ganache" and the choux pastry is made with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I wasn't sure how the product would work in choux, but the results were very good. The buttery flavor really came through in the profiteroles, which are one of my all-time favorite treats. I like them filled with cream or ice cream, and in this case I think the peppermint gives them a nice holiday theme.
Here's the puff itself.
It's going to be fun baking up a batch of these in the I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Test Kitchen, and for those of you interested in trying the recipe at home, I've typed it up below.
But first, here's your chance to win a special treat from I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I apologize to my non-US readers who I love hearing from, but this one's only open to those in the US.
Prize Package Includes:
— Caphlon Contemporary Non Stick Shallow Sauce Pan
— Antique White Dinnerware Rectangular Serving Platter
— A Non Stick Baking Sheet
— Bamboo 14" Wooden Spoon
For your chance at winning, just write a comment telling me your favorite holiday dessert and who usually makes it.
I'll close the contest Friday November 12 at 8:00 AM EST, pick a random comment using the random number generator, and announce the winner later that day.
Good Luck!
P.S. After you enter here, increase your odds by entering at some of the other bloggers' sites. All of the prize packages are different and tailored to each cook-off entry.
P.P.S. Thanks for the comments!! The number of comments we get plays into a small part of the overall scoring of the contest. Gee, why the heck am I sending you to the other blogs then ;). Just kidding. Have fun, and good luck! I'm really looking forward to reporting back to you all about the test kitchen tour and meeting the other great baking enthusiasts.

Disclosure: The giveaway prizes are provided by I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and my Cook-Off trip expenses to NYC are being paid for by I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.
Peppermint Ice Cream Profiteroles with Chocolate Ganache
1/2 cup flour, fluffed and scooped
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Baking Stick
1/2 cup warm water
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 oz excellent quality semi- sweet chocolate, chopped
6 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Butter Baking Stick
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
6 scoops peppermint or mint chocolate chip ice cream (or whatever YOU like)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together the flour and salt; set aside. In a 3 quart saucepan, heat the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and water just to a boil. Add the flour mixture and stir over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes or until mixture forms a ball in pan. After mixture forms a ball, continue mixing it for another minute, pushing it around in the pan. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with the mixing spoon after each egg is added.
Using a heaping tablespoon, drop 6 equal size portions of dough onto a parchment lined or lightly greased cookie sheet spacing about 3 inches apart. Bake on center rack for about 22 minutes or until puffs are golden. Remove from oven. Turn off oven and let it cool down for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, using a toothpick, poke a small hole in the bottom of each pastry puff. Return puffs to cookie sheet and place puffs in closed "off" oven for 10 minutes to dry. Remove from oven and let cool completely before filling.
Sauce: Put the chopped chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the cream and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter until it just begins to simmer. Pour over chocolate and stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
Assemble profiteroles. Split each profiterole horizontally down the center and fill with a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle warm or slightly cooled ganache over top.
Serves 6
If you're intimidated by pastry, there's nothing that will get your confidence up like a batch of choux. It's simple! For this batch, I made the choux with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and got some of the best results ever.
Like hot lava cakes, profiteroles are impressive and perfect for making ahead. You can bake the puffs before dinner and have them cooled and ready to go for dessert, or you can make them a week ahead, freeze them, then crisp them for 5 minutes in a 375 oven when ready to use. You can also make the ganache ahead of time. Just chill it until ready to use, the put it in a stainless steel bowl and set the bowl over but not touching barely simmering water until the ganache softens.

Should just add more of those old era Japan episodes if they're afraid of catching up to the manga. One Piece fillers have never really been bad. I'd rather have a quality canon episode rather than a mediocre one. Animation wasn't really top notch either.

NOTE: Prof. Ram is now at Xerox PARC. While he was at Georgia Tech, his lab had the following charter.
CCL pursues research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human-centered computing, developing systems that are both intelligent and design to interact intelligently with humans. CCL is directed by Prof. Ashwin Ram.
CCL pursues fundamental and applied research in the context of real-world problems and applications which (i) inform and constrain the research, and (ii) provide an opportunity to demonstrate new technology in working systems. CCL tackles problems that are "cognitive" in two respects:
- the solution requires cognition: CCL systems are intelligent and embody a theory of learning and cognition (AI)
- the solution aids cognition: CCL systems are designed with cognitive principles in order to interact naturally with humans (HCC)
CCL research lies at the intersection of AI (artificial intelligence) and HCC (human-centered computing). CCL's focus is not cognitive science, it is cognitive computing, with an emphasis on computing and systems issues critical to tackling real-world, large-amounts-of-information, continuous-task, human-in-the-loop problems. It brings together relevant pieces of cognitive science and artificial intelligence with newer approaches from intelligent systems and human-centered computing.
CCL projects use collaborative teams to tackle real-world problems that require basic (publishable) research coupled with applied (deliverable) R&D.

Is Playing In The NFL Worth It?
by Howard Simon
posted May 3 2012 12:00AM
As the NFL world deals with the death of Junior Seau, active players are once again answering questions about the sport they love and whether or not it will bring an early end to their life. That was just one of the topics we brought up with Buffalo Bills safety George Wilson when he joined Jeremy White and me on Thursday.
Wilson, who said he felt complete shock when he heard of Seau's death, said long term health wasn't something players used to think about much but that's changed with all of the research in recent years. "Guys are more mindful of the harm they subject themselves to over their entire career" said Wilson. "You have more guys thinking long term and not just to be able to take care of their families but to be around and be able to enjoy their families."
Despite the research and stories of debilitating injuries, dementia and in some cases suicide, Wilson has never thought about giving up the game even though it may take years off his life. "That's something I definitely know, that I understand and most guys who look at the information objectively should understand as well" Wilson told WGR. "Playing this game comes with some trade offs and you have to give up something to get something and unfortunately its our time."
Which might beg the question: Is it really worth it? There was no hesitation as Wilson responded in the affirmative. "This is something we've done our entire lives" the Bills player rep said. "Its in our bloodstream. This is something we live to do. We love the competition, the aggression, the camaraderie that comes with playing the game. It doesn't make the person but it helps be part of the person. Being a part of this game is tremendous fun, competing, facing different challenges different teams present. Guys live for and thrive for this but with new information, if you ask guys would they allow their sons to play this game, that's when you'll start to hear a few different answers than you heard a few years ago."
On that point we turned to Steve Tasker who also joined us on Thursday's show. Tasker has sons who play football and his oldest, Luke, had a standout career at St. Francis High School and now plays at Cornell University. Tasker said he never thought about not letting his kids play football. "For me, even now at this point in my life, I think the positives far outweigh the negatives" Tasker said. "The game is such a great teacher of life skills, its not all about them, you have to be part of a group, part of a team and be willing to sacrifice for the greater good."
The risk for players in the NFL doesn't just end when their career ends. For many that is when the problem begins as they deal with various injuries or afflictions brought on as a result of the physical pounding their bodies took.
That's why Wilson believes the NFL should do more when it comes to monitoring players once they can no longer play the game they love so much. "That's difficult for someone who's always been able to handle challenges and some guys handle it better than others" Wilson said. "We're so accustomed to being very masculine and being able to handle whatever comes our way that we're expected to be able to get through it. We're still human. We're still men and we need that help."
As far as the future of the game and whether or not the NFL can take additional steps to increase safety, Wilson said they have made tremendous strides with the changes in kickoff coverage, the crackdown on hits to the head and fines for hits above the shoulder. He added it is a collision sport and there's only so much you can do without changing the way the game is played.
Tasker, who made a name for himself on special teams, thinks they may be moving towards the day when the league will take kickoffs completely out and even though people will "frown and cry" about it, in the long run it will be good for the players as they go on with their lives. The NFL has taken numerous steps to make the game safer for quarterbacks and Tasker feels they're going to make it that way for everybody eventually.

There is a growing spirit of volunteerism and service in this country. As principal stewards of 245 million acres of public lands and resources, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cannot possibly accomplish the day-to-day responsibilities of the agency's complex, multiple-use mandate alone. It relies heavily on the help of its volunteers, who believe in the agency's mission, love the public lands, and are willing to volunteer their time and energy in the spirit of service. In 2007, volunteers contributed over 1.2 million hours of time and talent valued at over 24 million dollars. That's equivalent to the work of more than 800 full-time agency employees! Nearly half of all volunteer hours are related to recreation. This contribution represents a staggering volume of work in trail construction, facility repair, rock art documentation, wilderness restoration, conservation education, and other enhancements to the public lands.
For more information on BLM's Volunteer Program, please visit the BLM Volunteers web site.

Compare Daihatsu Garages and Specialists in Headington with Who Can Fix My Car.
Good value but the mechanic didn't turn up on the date of the first booking so I had to phone up and ask where he was. The job was then rescheduled a further two times. Then the mechanic had to go and get some additional parts. Luckily as a mobile mechanic they came to me so it didn't really make much difference, however if I had needed the work doing urgently I would have needed to get another garage to do the work.

Everything about my experience was positive from the info I got from the website to the quotes I received and the quality of the work and the final bill. Couldn't praise it highly enough

Wish I Would Have Known About These Sooner!
"Got this pair and the light green online, thinking I would choose one and return the other. Well, after wearing the green pair, I decided to keeping both! I wore the green ones to work all day. They were comfortable right out of the box and look nice for casual Friday. I wore this plaid pair to a local home show and, after being on my feet all day, could have kept going. They are nice looking, super comfortable, and seem well-made (even though they are made in China). I like that they have nice arch support, which is hard to find in shoes like this.I wear a 10, bought a 10, and they fit great. I would buy again in a heartbeat and will not hesitate to buy more when these wear out. Great find!"

Path of Exile Beta Review:
By: NickSino999
Path of Exile is a F2P game from New Zealand's Grinding Gear Games, founded in 2006 and lead by lead game designer Chris Wilson. So here we are in 2013 and Path of Exile is open to the public in an open beta form. There will be no more character wipes when the game is officially completed, so this feels very much like a standard release. Outside of a couple of disconnects, this open beta release was very smooth, especially when you consider the game is being developed by a small indie staff.
The goliath counterpart to Path of Exile is of course, Diablo. I have not played much of diablo 3, and I don't wish to compare the two in this review but, it needs to be mention that this game is very much like Diablo 2 (not 3), in terms of look and feel. This game is the third release of the big Arpg over the last few months, the other being Torchlight. While I leave it up to you to decide the crowning king of modern Arpg, in this review I want to look at Path of Exile and what it offers so let's get started.
There are three standout components when discussing Path of Exile, the 1st is the unique passive skill tree
(Skill forest? Skill jungle...).
With over 1300 different unique passives, this skill tree is truly massive. All character stats, offensive, and defensive passives come from this tree. With 100 levels, and additional 11 points from quests, you will have 111 points to build your character. The stats range from strength, dexterity, and intelligence. The tree is a must see to believe, but by now you might be wondering, what about classes? There are six classes in path of exile, but they aren't classes in a typical sense. Again it comes back to this passive skill tree. Your class just determines your starting point on this massive tree (and your look). From there you get two paths which break into hundreds of choice to build that class. Classes are matched with the three stats mentioned earlier. You have 3 standard classes; marauder (strength), ranger (dexterity), and witch (intelligence). Then you got 3 hybrid classes; Templar (strength, intelligence), shadow (dexterity, intelligence), and duelist (strength, dexterity). So while it might be difficult to make a tanking witch, or a spell spewing marauder, it doesn't mean it cannot be done.
Before I go a little further into the skill tree, let's examine that second standout component of Path of Exile. If anyone has played Final Fantasy VII, this might seem familiar. Skills are not obtain by just leveling up and seeing a trainer. Skills in Path of Exile comes in the form of gems. Gems have 3 colors; red, green, and blue. These skill gems can be obtain through quests or mob drops. New skills come often enough that you can swap out gems and change up your build multiple times. The skill
gems are then equipped into gem slots which can be found on your gear.
Gear has between 1-6 slots which can also be linked. This adds yet another layer of depth because, you can equipped support gems to skills that can change them drastically. For example you can add a support gem that leeches life, gives chance to blind, reduce mana cost, convert a single-target spell into a multi-target spell, and much more. I know this is a lot to take in and can be hard to understand at first glance but, the game executes this system well and it becomes second nature within a few hours of gameplay (though the skill tree might take weeks to learn all the options, the basic idea is not hard to grasp).
While Path of Exile has its shares of flaws, certainly its options for character building is not one of them. Your character is truly yours. The passive skill tree combined with skill/support gems and armor choice gives you an abundance of options.
The final component is very interesting. Unlike all other Arpgs where you find copious amounts of gold which you can use to buy items, identity scrolls, or potions in Path of Exile you will find zero gold. Your character is in fact broker than you are. So how do you buy items? How does the auction house work? Well in this gritty game you're not going to find a cozy auction house to buy and sell your items, npcs, they don't got money either. Instead Path of Exile uses a barter style system. In addition to armor and skills that drop from monsters you will also find orbs. There are many re many different kinds of orbs that do various things. Some change the color of gem slots while other take normal items and makes them rare. For the purpose of this review, I can't go deeper into the different kinds of orbs but, when you trade to npc or real players expect these orbs to be the gold standard.
So there you have the three things that separate Path of Exiles from every other Arpg on the market. The passive skill tree offers crazy amounts of depth, the skill gems offers a unique approach to skill placement, and the no money no problem idea behind the zero currency system creates a lively community that must haggle its way into acquiring that unique sword that witch is trying to sell. Everything else in Path of Exile can be found in your standard hack n' slash like diablo or torchlight. You kill, you get loot, you level, you repeat. The name Path of Exile comes from the path you take on your skill tree and you are exiled to this dark and gritty place known as Wraeclast. While I found the story to be no better than average with some limited voice overs, I was in love with the atmosphere. This game is dark, hard, and not ashamed of it. You will die and you will fail. Some people might complain certain dungeons to be too dark (don't play with the lights off!).
Currently there are two different leagues or rule sets, default and hardcore. Default is the standard game mode and hardcore, which usually means permadeath in most Arpgs, which means if your character dies you will be kicked out of the hardcore league with that character forever and be put into the default league. There are plans to release other leagues such as cut-throat PvP but, since they aren't in game I can't comment on them. I am also skipping over PvP for now, it's very limited to arena type matches and from what I Hear has severe balancing issues.
The game consist of 3 acts with 3 different difficulties. The 1st act is my favorite with the second act bing my least favorite. You can beat the game three acts fairly quickly and by level 30 you have beaten the games 1st difficulty then you do it all again on cruel and then again on merciless. After you beat all three difficulties there is a random map generator that you can play with friends to reach max level and maximize your character. Getting into a public group and creating a group is both easy and painless. One thing I dislike about grouping is the loot system, while it makes the game more cutthroat, it really needs some tweaking. When an item drop while in group with your name on it, you have about 5seconds to pick it up before it becomes fair game. Ninja looting is common place in Path of Exiles and when a valuable item drops my attention goes from enemies to the shiny loot as I try to get it before someone else does. Just increasing the timer on unique and rare items to give people a chance to see what it is that drop would be enough to make me happy. Your item inventory is very small and is based on item size so a lot of times you will need to drop something to pick up the better loot but, the current loot system does not give time to do this.
Path of Exiles is one of those games that grows on you and gets better with more play time. This game was develop to give the hardcore gamers enough stuff to do even months after release. The game has very little flaws like mediocre and short story, gender locking classes, your character looks ugly unless you're a shadow, and so on. This should be an applauded attempt for grinding gear games as they really captured that gritty hardcore style of past Arpg as well as kept a very deep character building system. This is truly a nostalgic experience for people seeking something like diablo 2. All this and, like its currency system, cost no gold. That right this is completely free to play game. The cash shop offers some weapon skins and armor skins but, no increase chance on rare, xp boosts, or content. So there really is no excuse not to try it if you like Arpgs.
Nice review!
Path of exile is exactly what diablo 3 should be
Thumps up and keep up the good work!

Why does everything need to be innovative and on the cutting edge? I think Path of Exile is an excellent F2P product that blends aspects of older games that we know and love into a more modern model.

aahhhh bakuman in the bottem 3, that sucks! -_-
Thanks for posting Issue 42 Phixion. I'm a little surprised that Jaguar is out of the dead spot, but I'm sure that it's only cause it got colour pages. Psyren being that high is nothing short of awesome but my heart aches when Mago falls (ganbatte Mago). I think I'm more surprised that the - now shortened name - Kanata Seven Change was ranked 3rd. That's quite impressive. o.O
Issue 53 will be special because it will have One Piece chapter 0 and an important announcement for Mago. Hopefully the announcement is that it's getting an anime.
#53 (30/11) :
One Piece - Strong World Chapter #0 (Cover, Lead Color Page) + Regular Chapter
Gintama (Color Page)
Nurarihyon no Mago (Color Page, Important Announcement)
^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3
Hmm...I thought only the cover didn't count for the rank. -_-' I think I need to clarify that.
^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3
Series with colour pages and covers aren't considered ranked for that week. New series within the first seven chapters aren't considered ranked, though if the position is really notable (like in the top for their duration or in the bottom for some time) then it probably tells you how much faith the editors have in the series or what the expectations will be once it gets ranked. Jaguar and Kochikame aren't considered ranked, because they will probably end when the author decides to end it. In Kochikame's case, it will end on the author's deathbed.
Ohhh..thanks for the info Cross! XD

Lack of interest due to breaks every 2 weeks probably. -_- Seems the most logical assumption, somehow i'm also less interested in it now. While before i was running around oewhhh the big battle is starting i'm hardly feeling the excitement anymore....
Although the most logical reasoning would be that they didn't want both chapters to appear behind eachother and thats why they spread them.
Oda has been very busy with the OP movie and the chapter 0 thing, which is why he's been taking so many breaks. Guess all the pressure affected the regular chapter and that's why it slumped this week. Really really weird, cause I've never seen OP get lower than rank 4. Psyren....Psyren....Psyren....what are you doing THAT low?!
Ah well...Mago is getting an anime. So I'm super-psyched over that. \o/
^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3
One Piece is probably unranked, because it's releasing chapter 0. I really doubt that's a real rank.

Douchebag alert! I agree with Tricia, this sounds like Braff. I was trying to make Piven fit somehow but I guess he and Zach just attended the same classes at the Sean Penn School for Douchebaggery and Other Bad Things Too!
Grammar is still on tv in that show with Martin Lawrence, Kiefer is back on tv with the 24 reboot and the Fonz is on Royal Pains.ReplyCancel
Yeah I was joking about him but he was the most popular on Tv for a decade.
Imma throw Tim Allen into this also . Home Improvement was on a long time.

*THE most popular* actor for a decade?
Knight Rider only ran 4 years, so it's not The Hoff. (ha!)
10+ year series with living actors I can think of:
Happy Days
Married w/Children
2.5 Men
But maybe he was on multiple series over a period of a decade. Still rules out The Hoff.

@sheely shell…100% I remember it too. his half sister jessica kirson is a working stand up(one of my Dear friends who is also a comedien) is her BFF…he's stayed in his LA home with him…and well just say…gracious is not a word used too often for him, though they did stay there. he also never helped her in any way….though maybe that's common in his world.
In short, he's a prick so this surprises me negative
Braff is wonderful with his fans. I don't see him acting that way.ReplyCancel
@reno…he kinda has to be nice to his fans, it's orchestrated, in the same way he has to be really nice to all the people who give him money to make films on kick starter…it's the real people, or candid moments that engine a person more I think….like the saying I love-character is what you do (or don't do in this case)when you think noones watching…ReplyCancel
Winkler, Danson, Ramono = All Nice!!
Is Seinfeld in any movies?

I think Tim Allen is a great guess. That line also sounds like his "humor"
Tool Time was huge and he was prob TV A++ at that time. And he's done a few movies and voices – i think this fits him very well.
Woody Harrelson is really nice. He used to come to our Hotel in Palm Springs. He was nice to everyone and paid his bill. He also didn't have some douche call us in advance with a list of demands he needed or need flowers in every room (including the bathrooms, lookin at you Sharon asshole Stone.) Or need his hairdresser flown 90 minutes for 1500.00 dollars he didn't pay (lookin at you John asshole Travolta) who were both supposedly in town for charity events and didn't pay for a damn thing. #notwoodyReplyCancel

How about Burt Reynolds? Many stories of him having been a dick.

Sadly, no correlation, though everyone should be kind to their servers in general, and people….this blind is real but peoples assessments of who it is and why…is unreal, and baffling.
A jag offs a jag off…whether born with a silver spoon(every hilton/kardashian/political types(I digress), as are struggling actors who waited tables…they aren't exempt.

Scrubs star Zach Braff is set to become one of the highest-paid actors on TV if the hit sitcom gets renewed by NBC for a seventh season.
According to sources, the 31-year-old actor has landed a deal that will earn him around $350,000 per episode for the 2007-08 season.
The new deal will put him in the top echelon of highest-paid male actors on television, alongside Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen, whose paycheck is also in the $350,000-per-episode range.
Braff, who also wrote, directed and starred in the 2004 independent romantic comedy Garden State, plays Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian on the show.

crank 2... really, that made my day
the dbz movie would be interesting to watch tho
I'm still going to see it, though.
I was really disappointed at the past 3 X-Men movies. The first one was okay, but I walked out on the 2nd one, and the third one.... Why kill off Scott Summers and Professer Xavier? Who is Kitty and is she even a marvel character? Is she even a villian? Why was everyone who appeared in the movie retarded? I'd rather see the appearance of Squirel Girl and the Great Lakes Avengers to show up and take care of business.
Okay, this is not a forum for me to bash the X-Men movie 3. Last stand or whatever it was called. That Electra Movie needs to be gutted too. God, what were they thinking? I'm only going to watch that Wolverine Origins movie because they're finally going to show Gambit. Of course, it's a younger version of Gambit, and I don't really like the actor they have casted. But I still have to watch because I've sat through the pervious three x-men movies, and there was no gambit. Only his name was on some comp screen.
"Please double on White Day"
http://www.fanfiction.net/~redsilenthttp://redsilent.deviantart.com/This is My HeroThe IglooMy new favorite Video
they wont only show gambit... they will also show deadpool and some other characters
althought marvel did some awfull movies (elektra, hulk 1 and probably punisher-warzone), Iron Man was really good (as the daredevil, blade and other adaptations)
also i hope SAW VI will be the last movie of the sequel, i mean the first 2 were ok but now.... :S i cant say the same!

Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
Saw 5 is going to be epic I think and saw 6 is supposed to be the final movie.
The first 3 saws were good in my opinion I don't think 4 was the greatest as 4 was just there to develop the plot for saw 5.
i also think the 5th movie will be ok from what i readed/saw... but saw 3 was nothing compared to the first 2 imo.... also some more movies that will be released in 2009:
Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian
Star Trek
Friday the 13th (2009)
Pink Panther Deux, The
An Untitled Wayan Brothers Comedy

prince of persia only comes out in 2010 :/ and the same goes with iron man 2 and alice in wonderland from tim burton
and brazilian job should be really good, at least italian job is a good movie

The only ones doing the killing in saw 1-3 was jigsaw and that woman who liked jigsaw.
And I think the plot is how far is someone willing to go in order to not die.

Composer/keyboardist Mychael Danna was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and showed musical talent early in life. Singing and piano lessons defined his childhood and early adolescence, but a hand injury at age 14 ended his piano career.
Danna switched over to synthesizer instead and concentrated on his composing skills. After earning a degree in composition from the University of Toronto and winning the prestigious Glenn Gould Composition Award his final year there, Danna began his film scoring career, which includes over 15 features and documentaries. Danna also served for a time as composer-in-residence for the McLaughlin Planetarium in Toronto.
His fusion of different styles of music and keen arrangement skills make Danna a versatile and popular artist, whether scoring films, working on his own new age compositions (Skys, Sirens), collaborating with his composer brother Jeff Danna (A Celtic Tale), or working with Tim Clement on electronic environmental pieces (Summerland, North of Niagra). ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

waiting for star craft 2
I think quite a few members of Manga Share play Starcraft, but they most likely, like myself, have become bored with it. Like kruc said, waiting for SC2.
I recommend KlazartSC on youtube for commentating on professional StarCraft games.
[i just put that in here, just because]
Kr4zy, the two games the koreans play alot are Starcraft, and Kart Rider. Do you play KR, too?

While the United States and Afghanistan negotiate a future security agreement, the big question is how many American troops may remain in Afghanistan after combat operations end in 2014 -- a question the White House said has not yet been decided.
"We've not yet determined whether or not a troop presence will continue in Afghanistan," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
If the United States does decide to keep a residual force in Afghanistan after 2014, he said, they will be limited in number and duty.
"What we're talking about post-2014 is on the order of a few thousand troops," Earnest said, devoted to specific counter-terrorism operations and training Afghan forces.
"We will not be in a situation in which servicemen and -women are patrolling villages in Afghanistan," he said. "They will not be in a position of patrolling mountain ranges."
A few years ago, there were 100,000 U.S. service members in Afghanistan, Earnest said. In February, that number will be about 34,000.
If U.S. troops remain after 2014, their mission would be narrow and short-term, Earnest said.
"It involves counter-terrorism and training is something that we anticipate would not require a 10 year presence of troops," Earnest said. "It wouldn't take that long."

"Lucky Number 100" LVAD Patient Feeling Stronger
Jim Daake was always an active guy. Growing up around Norfolk, he spent a lot of time hunting, fishing, and at 6'11" he loved to play basketball. What was first thought to be a case of pneumonia stopped that active streak. It started three years ago when Daake had trouble breathing. His family doctor treated him for pneumonia, but when his breathing trouble continued, Daake went back to the doctor.
"He did more tests," Daake recalls. "They told me I had congestive heart failure."
Daake's doctor referred him to heart failure specialist Ioana Dumitru, MD at The Nebraska Medical Center. "At that point, I was very sick and I put my life in her hands," he says.
He says with Dr. Dumitru's guidance, his condition stabilized for about two years. About a month ago, Daake was at the medical center for a check-up. His condition had worsened. It was past the point where medication could help. His heart needed mechanical help. Daake met with heart surgeon John Um, MD and learned about a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD).
"It wasn't a hard decision," Daake says. "You either have to live with what you've got or give the device a shot."
The Nebraska Medical Center's Mechanical Circulatory Support program, which implants the devices and manages LVAD patients, was started in 2009. Since then, the program has grown rapidly and provides options for patients who previously had none. Initially, the LVAD was used exclusively to keep patients alive until they could receive a heart transplant. In 2011, the program achieved a milestone when it was approved for Destination Therapy. This meant that they could now implant the device for heart failure patients who were not candidates for heart transplant. When surgeons connect the LVAD to the heart, it takes over the job of pumping blood out of the heart and into the aorta, the body's main blood vessel.
Jim Daake didn't know it when he talked to Dr. Um about his surgery, but he was about to become the medical center's 100th LVAD patient. In his words, he was "lucky number 100."
Daake underwent LVAD surgery August 13. He is recovering well and looking forward to regaining his strength and enjoying more time with his wife and 19 and 22 year old sons.
"It was life-changing," Daake says. "I want to get back to living life again."
As for being LVAD patient number 100?
"I feel good that they have helped a hundred people before me and that they will help hundreds of people after me."

RAP4 XPOWER In Action At Marine Corps Base
|RAP4 is proud to provide X-Power markers and tactical training to pre-deployment forces...and make that same military-tested equipment available for civilians who want the most realistic paintball experience possible.
RAP4 staff just returned from Hawaii, where they worked with undisclosed military units to train in close quarters battle (CQB) ahead of their deployment to the Middle East. At the intersection of theory and reality stood the RAP4 instructors with a crate of X-Power markers and cases of .43 caliber paintballs. To make the soldiers training as real as possible, their commanding officers arranged force-on-force drills in real urban and indoor facilities, and selected the RAP4 X-Power marker for its exact replication of the M4 duty rifle.
That way, the familiarity, instincts, and marksmanship ingrained into the soldiers with their M16 and M4 duty rifles carried over directly to using the magazine-fed, semi-automatic RAP4 X-Power. Being shot at with a real projectile, feeling the impact of sustaining real hits, made the tactical simulation far more meaningful than laser-based or other simulations...meaning the experience was far more valuable for real-world training.
Designed to exactly replicate the balance, weight, feel, controls, aesthetics, and essential operation of the M4 battle rifle, the RAP4 X-Power paintball marker is truly the guardian of that threshold between fantasy and reality - it essentially is an M4 battle rifle, and yet, uses compressed air (ingeniously hidden inside the collapsible stock) to shoot only paintballs. That makes it the ideal training marker for the US military, as proven in the recent Hawaii maneuvers.
The .43 caliber paintballs are fed under spring pressure directly into the marker via the interchangeable twenty round magazine. Each ball is held securely by either a metal or biodegradable plastic shell, which is extracted and ejected after each shot - pull the trigger, feel the action cycle, then hear the ejected casing spin on the ground beside you...just like shooting the real M4. This enables high cyclic rates and the use of strong magazine springs for absolute reliability, without damaging the paintballs or hindering their accuracy.
The US military regularly uses RAP4 equipment and training for pre-deployment exercises. Paintball players around the country rely on RAP4 markers to complete tough missions in big-name scenario games. When youre serious about training, competing, role-playing, or getting the most out of your woodsball game, you need RAP4.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A new study presented February 20 at the annual meeting of the American College of Preventive Medicine in New Orleans shows that performing a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) within 24 hours of a carotid endartectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of
myocardial infarction and
Ninety patients with severe coronary artery disease and carotid stenosis were treated with this dual approach. Their mean age was 69; 68% were male. The average duration between CEA and CABG was 1.8 days, with 89% taking place within 24 hours.
Post-CEA surgical outcomes (up to 30 days post-CABG ) included myocardial infarction (1%) and acute embolic cerebrovascular accident (1%); some instances of atrial fibrillation (34%), anemia (12%), pneumonia (7%), and bleeding (4%) followed the CABG, but no CVAs. Patients were discharged, on average, 7-1/2 days after surgery.
"According to current literature, MI rates following CEA range from 1.5% to 7.3%, depending on whether it is combined with CABG or staged. So our 1% rate is encouraging," noted Dr. John P. Nabagiez, lead researcher and Director of Research for the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Heart Institute at
Staten Island University Hospital. "The reported risk of post-CABG CVA is 2% to 11%. I was pleasantly surprised to find a post-CABG CVA rate of zero."
"One caveat is that all of our CABG procedures were performed 'off pump' (without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass) and that may have played a role in our observed freedom from postoperative CVA," Nabagiez added.
"The question of performing CABG on patients with significant cerebrovascular disease is an old one, and there isn't a consensus in the medical community regarding exactly how to best treat these patients. Our preference is to perform concomitant CEA/CABG for patients with unilateral severe carotid stenosis whether it is symptomatic or asymptomatic. This is also true and probably more important in patients who have severe stenosis on one side and a complete occlusion on the other side," observed Dr. Sam Baradarian, cardiothoracic surgeon at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California.
Defining the patient population for whom staging will be most effective is very important, agreed Nabagiez. "This approach might not be applicable to all patients who are actively symptomatic from both regions (carotids and coronaries), for example, in the case of unstable angina. For some patients, due to symptoms and disease progression, there is not a single correct method. If one lesion is relatively more symptomatic one may choose to stage that procedure first; if they are both equally symptomatic one may elect for a simultaneous procedure. Our study does not invalidate the simultaneous CEA-CABG method, we simply prefer the staged approach and are encouraged by these findings."

The Vaughn Vision 9500 Goalie Leg Pad is designed for the goaltender that prefers a pad with a more ridged knee and thigh rise and typically uses a blocking style butterfly save selection.
The 9500 pad design features a complete solid firmer flat front blocking surface with a single horizontal flex seam at the ankle area. The pad interior is constructed with our Flex-lam padding system that consists of several layers of varying foam densities that are hand lasted together to give the pad consistent shape and feel with excellent durability. The outside roll features a beveled profile for light weight and puck deflection and solid construction from the bottom ankle break to the top of the thigh rise. Large thigh rise areas feature a square shape that functions to seal the five hole area.
The solid firm internal construction helps prevent pucks from slipping through the five hole. Narrow outside panel has a pre-curved design to shape the pad to the natural bend at the knee and ankle areas of the leg, this places the goaltender in a more ergonomically correct position for more power and speed. The leg cradle features a tapered shape that gets progressively wider from the ankle to the top of the pad to provide the goaltender with control and comfort. This also gives the pad quick rotation speed when moving to the ice so the pad squares up and seals to the ice. Wide knee cradle has Velcro and lace adjustment that allows the knee cradle to be moved vertically and horizontally for a perfect custom fit.

Tobacco control economics
Tobacco use is among the leading preventable causes of death. Each year, the global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 6 million people, including more than 600,000 who die from exposure to second-hand smoke. It is on track to kill more than 8 million by 2030, by which time approximately 80% of the deaths would occur in low- and middle-income countries.The costs of tobacco use are measured in its enormous toll of disease, suffering and family distress. Economies also suffer from increased health-care costs and decreased productivity.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Public Lands council voted to proceed with an Emery County Land Use Plan and federal legislation. The lands council held a series of meetings to gain an idea of how the public stands on various land use issues including transportation, water, grazing, access, right of ways, historical and heritage resources as well as others. These topics were explored in regards to a possible Emery County Land Use Bill similar to the bill Washington County passed in March of this year.
Mark Williams reported in the second transportation meeting they had the attendance was large. Quite a few people spoke in favor of going ahead with a bill and a bunch were scared of wilderness. Several good comments were made. It was mentioned there were those in attendance who tried to lead the meeting away from the topic at hand and turn it into a debate on constitutional issues.
The main point the lands council wishes to get across is they can pull the bill if things get out of hand. It was mentioned that Washington County could have pulled their bill at any point in time. They had to make concessions and did get more wilderness than they originally wanted, but they were able to pull some areas out of wilderness study areas, too. They were satisfied with what they gained.
Guy Webster, lands council member mentioned he has had people express concern over having Randy Johnson in Washington lobbying for the Emery County bill. They want others to accompany him. Commissioner Gary Kofford, said Johnson is a paid lobbyist working for Emery County and as such he is not a decision maker, but would push forward a bill crafted by the county.
"He is a hired employee and will do what the county wants," said Kofford. Kofford said he would expect Ray Petersen, public lands director would be involved and maybe even lands council members would get a chance to go and participate in getting an Emery County land use bill passed.
Mistie Christiansen, lands council member, said she has heard the opinion too, where people are glad Johnson is on board because of his experience with Washington County and his knowledge of public lands issues.
Petersen said when the time comes, with communication what it is today, that close contact will be kept with those in Washington and those in the county regarding the status of the bill.
Petersen said in his observations of the transportation meeting that people were reluctantly agreeable to what the county is trying to accomplish. Most said it makes sense to go ahead and address the issue.
Sherril Ward, council member said it might be our only chance to isolate wilderness and get it stopped. He mentioned a good letter by Alan Peterson which addresses why it's a good idea to go ahead with legislation.
The water rights committee will stick with language that is in the Washington County bill and tie into it endangered species. They have asked irrigation companies to contribute funds to get possible projects evaluated. The irrigators could release some water later in the watering season to such projects. An engineer would get some projects evaluated so proposals on expenses could be analyzed. The water subcommittee would like to look at increased storage in Ralfston and Miller's Flat reservoirs. To include endangered species and the stockholders would allow both to benefit from projects.
Kofford said the starting amount of $10,000 for studies for projects probably wouldn't get you too far. Ward said the projects to increase storage capacity at the reservoirs just needs an estimate of expenses.
Vernell Rowley, council member said the historical committee met last week and they are still inventorying sites. They participated in the placement of the MK tunnel signs. Dave Mangum volunteered to inventory sites by Emery.
Priscilla Burton, council member reported they haven't received any comments back from anyone concerning gas, minerals and mining. Someone has been corresponding with Bill Barrett corporation.
Chuck Semborski, council member said Consol was concerned about affects from the America's Red Rock Wilderness Act introduced again by SUWA. Dave Taylor from Live Earth has also expressed concern about his resource supply, should a large part of Emery County become wilderness as proposed by ARRWA. Burton said that's why it's so important to have valid and existing rights because these would continue even if an area becomes wilderness.
Christiansen reported on the grazing meeting, they said to move forward and be proactive, not just wait and see. One concern they had was the maps don't show all the watering sites for livestock so she encouraged grazers to GPS these sites or mark them on maps so they can be recorded and documented for use in the bill. Petersen said they have found a map layer which shows more of the range improvements, but it's probably not complete and they welcome additions.
Gary Petty, lands council member, said it's important to the grazers to have motorized and mechanized access to make improvements to their allotments. He has talked to Nevada grazers who deal with wilderness and some were for and some against. One complaint they had was people that visit the wilderness areas are offended by piles of cow manure and those people want to see grazing eliminated.
Christiansen said she has told the grazers to make sure their permits have a valid and existing right for mechanized travel to fix springs. In wilderness these exceptions are allowed if the language is present in the valid and existing permit.
Christiansen said as the land use bill moves forward she would like to see the advisory committee kept in place. Petersen suggested the lands council itself could be the advisory committee because it already exists and is a good vehicle for addressing issues and concerns with the agencies.
Kofford said if you go after an advisory committee then you would take any jurisdiction out of the county's hand and it would be under BLM jurisdiction and you couldn't hold the advisory committee to just Emery County people and concerns.
Christiansen said her main concern is she would like to see BLM and forest service actions reviewed or looked at ahead of time before these agencies just spring changes and closures upon the county.
Burton said she works for the state and while it may appear that these decisions are made by one person they are reviewed by a staff of people who give information so a supervisor can make a decision. Burton suggested meeting with agency supervisors more frequently to stay in touch with what they are working on in regards to public lands decisions.
Rowley wondered who would draw up the legislation. Kofford said it would be done with county staff and Petersen along with the county attorney and employees as well as Mark Ward from the Utah Association of Counties who has volunteered to help. Randall Stilson, council member made a motion to go ahead and do something so the county will have a voice. It was determined by unanimous vote the council proceed with a land use bill for Emery County and after said bill is complete be brought before the public in an open meeting to discuss the contents of the bill. Christiansen said she hopes the meeting will have a lot of participation. Webster said they need to be prepared with the bill, maps, overlays, roads, boundaries and everything to show the public what's involved.
Petersen said he could have the language in two-three weeks and then the meeting would need to be advertised for two weeks. Rowley said he doesn't see a need to rush, but to go through all of the issues and put something nice together even if it takes to the first of the year. Webster said the individual communities need to be visited to get the word out, because people hear the word wilderness and it scares them. The public meetings were tentatively set for the end of October.
Ward said it's important to get the message out to people on why the council is doing this.
Petersen asked each subcommittee if the language from the Washington County bill works for them, and if not to get him the necessary changes by a week's time. Information on the lands council and its activities will also be on the Emery County website.
Brad Shafer from Sen. Bennett's office worked on the Washington County land use bill and Wilson asked him how the Washington County commission felt about the bill. Shafer said some of the talk might be true that they weren't happy with parts of the bill. But, the bill was something they could live with. "They had to swallow hard in negotiations, mainly on the acreage of the wilderness, but they could have pulled the plug at any time. They didn't have anything rammed down their throats. The wilderness was bigger than they wanted, but the exact same activities are still taking place. Access to land and uses are still the exact same."
Shafer said the legislation helped solve the road questions. All of their RS-2477 road issues have been resolved with the exception of one road. Maps have been produced which show all the roads which are open. Some people just look at the wilderness acreage number and it is more than originally proposed by Washington County. Critics also talk about the America's Red Rock Wilderness Act and say that Washington County is still in ARRWA. Which it is, because ARRWA was introduced the day after the Washington County legislation passed. Just because Washington County has wilderness, doesn't prevent some group from asking for more.
If the ARRWA were to pass then it would be amended to take out Washington County, because wilderness has been visited there and Congress has taken care of wilderness in Washington County. In Washington County some lands were released from wilderness study areas and have reverted back to BLM and its resource management plans. Shafer said the water language was as good as it can get.
It allows the feds to hold a water right, but under state rules and regulations. The bill also prohibits buffer zones around WSAs. "With the total package they (Washington County) got a pretty good deal. All parties were satisfied with what they got and it has made no difference to the activities on the land. The roads which are important have been cherry stemmed into the wilderness. There are no closed roads in the established wilderness.
Ward asked if the language in the bill-legislation could be strong enough to hold off any litigation and people trying to get more wilderness.
Shafer said no, that the language in the bill is for management purposes. "You can't prohibit someone from coming back and asking for more wilderness." Shafer emphasized the real power in the Washington County bill lies with the fact that the wilderness study areas have been resolved. They have been established as wilderness or reverted back to the BLM. This is for the original WSAs and not the reinventory lands.
Shafer pointed out the 1964 Wilderness Act was the ideal. Subsequent acts of Congress have declared wilderness in various areas and wilderness is what Congress says it is, in some areas there are roads in forest service wilderness areas and mines in others. "It is what is designated, Congress will decide what it is. These are some of the lessons we've taken out of the Washington County experience," said Shafer. Shafer said Emery County has a legitimate argument in Congress right now because Emery County is living with unresolved wilderness study areas. It is a legitimate issue until Congress resolves the WSAs. The next public lands council meeting is on Oct. 6 at 10 a.m. with a work meeting beginning at 9 a.m.

GNU/Linux is one of the most rapidly growing open source operating system as it is consistently improving its capabilities to meet the technological requirements. Initially, Linux was not adopted by most of the users because of its command line interface but later developments in Linux provide ease in terms of accessibility and offered Graphical User-Interface (GUI). As it's an open source OS, it has one of the largest developer community and one of the most prominent contributors in Linux technology is RedHat. Linux was initially designed for Intel x86 personal computers and then later on modified to support different hardware as well.

Trees planted in remembrance of loved ones
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Ten new trees planted their roots in a local city Friday.
Every spring and fall, trees are planted in Kingsport recognizing and remembering loved ones through the Tree Fund.
On Friday a combination of maple and dogwood trees was planted at Domtar Park.
Trees are purchased through donations which allow families to leave a living legacy.
"This is a lasting tribute so folks can come out and visit the area where the trees were planted in memory of their loved one, and we also have folks in honor of," said Robin Cleary with Keep Kingsport Beautiful.
The Tree Fund was created in 1986. Since then, we've learned more than 600 trees have been planted throughout Kingsport.

For example, at least 51 percent of the grain used in making the whiskey must be corn (most distillers use 65 to 75 percent corn). Bourbon must be aged for a minimum of two years in new, white oak barrels that have been charred. Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor, add sweetness or alter color.
