Story Highlights
- Victory at last for Scuderia Ferrari
- Webber told to 'maintain the gap'
- Not a good day for British drivers
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso had the taste of success, as he took the chequered flag at an action packed 2011 Formula One British Grand Prix. The Spaniard picked up his first win since the Korean race last year, and stopped Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel from taking the top step of the podium once again this season.
Alonso explained how thrilled he was to get the unexpected victory.
"What a wonderful surprise! The team did an amazing job and I dedicate this win to everyone at Maranello and at the track, whose work has allowed me and Felipe to drive such a good car. It is a very special win because it comes at a legendary track like Silverstone, in front of a crowd that is so enthusiastic about cars," described Alonso.
Despite starting in pole position and winning at Silverstone last year, Mark Webber had to settle for third place. Sadly, the three British drivers were not able to live up to, the home fan's high expectations of a top result. Lewis Hamilton managed to secure fourth place, after having a few dramas in the race. It was a similar story for his McLaren team mate, Jenson Button, who experienced a pit stop error, which saw him retire from the race. Paul di Resta also had a run of bad luck despite starting from sixth position; the Scotsman ended the race out of the points in 15th place.
As the lights went out and the cars charged to the first corner, Vettel resumed his normal spot and snatched the lead from team mate Webber. The McLaren duo also had an up and down start, with Hamilton starting from 10th position and overtaking his team mate soon after. Ferrari's Felipe Massa also made the most of his opportunity to pass the 2009 World Champion and get into fourth place at the time. By lap nine it was clear that Button was struggling for pace, and his intermediate tyres were worn out. On the following lap Button responded to Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher's decision to pit for a tyre change.
It was then discovered that this was not the only reason for the German to pit, which encouraged the others to follow suit. His front nose cone was missing, after he and Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi came together. Schumacher appeared to lose the back end of his car under braking, which resulted in Kobayashi being collected in the process. The incident between the pair at Turn 6 caught the attention of the stewards who decided to investigate.
After deliberation it was reported that Schumacher would have to serve a stop and go penalty in the pits. The seven times World Champion was punished for causing a collision, and faced the consequences of his actions on lap 17. Consequently, he fell down the field from ninth after starting in 13th place, and dropped to 17th position following the penalty. On his way back into the midfield, Schumacher fought and gained positions over Lotus Renault's Vitaly Petrov, Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari, and from lap 36 to 48 was on the tail of Petrov's team mate, Nick Heidfeld. However, his fellow countryman failed to catch him in the closing stages, and Schumacher still finished in the top ten in ninth place.
Following Schumacher and Kobayashi's incident, Button left the pits and resumed his race in seventh position on lap 12. The rest of the front runners were making their pit stops during this time, with Alonso going head to head with Webber and battling to get out ahead of each other. Button's team mate Hamilton was scrapping with Massa for position on the track, and Massa was really struggling for grip. Whilst Alonso was in the pits for his tyres, his Brazilian team mate miraculously managed to hold on until it was his turn. Meanwhile, Button was on top form on his fresh set of tyres, as he set the fastest time on lap 14, with a 1:46.073secs from sixth place. Sadly, he was then held up temporarily by Massa and Hamilton, who continued their previous scrap for position. However, just a few laps later and all of the top drivers seemed to settle in their places, with Vettel still leading from Webber, then Hamilton was ahead of Alonso, who maintained fourth place from Button and Massa was in sixth position.
Button continued to race well from then on and around lap 17, the Englishman was just 12 seconds off the leader Vettel. When the second round of pit stops arrived the firs placeman changed from Vettel to Alonso. In the build up to the 2005 and 2006 World Champion snatching the lead from the German, Alonso seemed unstoppable and was on top form. It was a different story in the Red Bull pit box for Vettel though. There was a problem during the tyre change, when his left rear did not go on. The delay added 11 seconds to the reigning Champion's time, which allowed Alonso to build his lead. The Red Bull pair dropped grid positions, as a result of Vettel's disastrous stop and Webber's tyre change. On lap 28 they were in third and fourth place respectively.
Meanwhile at the front of the field, Alonso was extending his lead from Hamilton, but the second placeman was not giving up on chasing him down. Hamilton attempted to use his DRS on Alonso, but did not get the right moment to do it. On lap 31 Alonso set an impressive lap time of 1:35.551, and Hamilton was soon under pressure from Vettel, who could not put his DRS to use at the time either. Webber was having his own issues, as he went on a detour off the track twice at Becketts. The Australian was following the pair beforehand, but eventually got himself back on track again. Hamilton's efforts to keep Vettel in third place prevailed until the pit stops. Vettel took fifth place from him on lap 37, and rapidly moved closer to the top to take third place from Massa. Although Vettel could not catch the race leader, Alonso, who maintained his lead once he had been in the pits.
Disaster struck for Button on lap 40 as he was the victim of a pit stop error like Vettel. After exiting the pits he pulled over nearby, and it was discovered that his right front wheel nut was not on. As a result of this pit box malfunction, Button was forced to retire from his home race.
Button explained what happened in the pit stop, which led him to make a sudden exit from the race.
"… But, as I turned out of the pit lane, my right-front wheel came off and I was forced to stop immediately. They guy on the front-right lost the wheel nut and turned to take another; as he turned, I think his hand moved and the guy on the front jack felt that that was the trigger to lower the car. Then the lollipop lifted. Hopefully, we won't have that sort of issue again. It's disappointing – especially in front of the home crowd – because I was really enjoying the race," described Button.
The situation for the team went from bad to worse just two laps later. Hamilton received a message over the team radio to save his fuel.
Consequently, Button was under investigation by the stewards for an unsafe release in the pits, and Hamilton would have the threat of his rivals bearing down on him. The situation turned into reality for Hamilton on lap 46, as Webber was able to cruise passed with ease, to take third place from the 2008 World Champion. Massa also spotted Hamilton's vulnerability, as an opportunity to improve his final grid slot. The pair gave a dramatic and exciting display to the Silverstone crowd in the final lap. In desperation for Hamilton to maintain fourth, and Massa to gain that place, the scrap got heated to the point that they made contact. A mistake from Massa led him to run wide, which meant Hamilton kept his fourth place after all. Unfortunately, Massa remained behind in fifth place.
There was already another piece of action which occurred on the penultimate lap to catch the attention of the fans. Webber was upping his pace lap by lap in the closing stages, to the point that he was side by side with team mate Vettel. Webber was setting blistering times, and was the fastest in the first sector over everyone in the entire race. At first it appeared that there were no team orders given, as Webber was on the tail of Vettel. Suddenly via the team radio the message was given "Mark you need to maintain the gap, maintain the gap". With instructions from the team in play, and little time left to the chequered flag, Webber held back and Vettel landed the second place finish instead.
Elsewhere in the field, Schumacher's team mate, Nico Rosberg made steady progress in the beginning. The German was fighting for position with Williams driver Pastor Maldonado who was ahead of him in the early stages of the race. Kobayashi's Mexican team mate Perez was also in the mix with the pair. Rosberg's persistence paid off in the end over Perez, as he deployed his DRS, to grab 11th place from the rookie driver. Rosberg seemed to have an uneventful race as he made his way through the field. By the end of the 52 laps, Rosberg scored a solid finish in sixth position. Perez caught up a while later though, to finish just behind in seventh position.
Perez's team mate did not experience the same fate though. Kobayashi had an unfortunate start to his race, as he spun on lap nine at Brooklands, which meant he lost two places and dropped to tenth place. This was linked to his contact with Schumacher on the very same lap. There was more drama to come in the pits, when the Japanese driver stopped for a tyre change. Kobayashi was in close proximity to Maldonado, and somehow managed to collect the Force India team's wheel gun. After recovering from the pit stop chaos, the incident was then of interest to the stewards. Kobayashi was issued with a stop and go penalty on lap 21.
His earlier encounter with Schumacher resulted in a stop and go penalty for the former Ferrari driver. This time the shoe was on the other foot, and Kobayashi was forced to face the consequences of his actions. The stop and go penalties were chosen to be issued, rather than a drive through one just at Silverstone this season. The reason being that the FIA favour them due to the short pit lane at the circuit. The stewards gave the punishment to Kobayashi for an unsafe release pit stop. Kobayashi's race came to an unfortunate end on lap 24. There was a puff of smoke from his car, and there had been concerns of overheating problems earlier in the race.
Despite Heidfeld successfully passing Kobayashi early on in the race using DRS, the Lotus Renault driver seemed to have everyone overtaking him for the rest of the time. Schumacher was one driver who made the move stick, and Toro Rosso's Alguersuari was keen to get in on the action as well. Nevertheless, Heidfeld secured a top ten finish, and landed eighth place for himself.
The Toro Rosso team had experienced different fortune between the drivers. Although they were both passed by Schumacher in the race, one managed to finish while the other failed to reach the end. Alguersuari was the lucky one who quietly fought his way to take the final top ten point scoring position. Meanwhile, his Swiss team mate, Buemi suffered a puncture on one of his tyres, following a collision with di Resta.
The pair were going into Becketts, when they suddenly made contact. This resulted in di Resta losing his third front wing this season, but unlike Buemi the Scotsman still finished the race. Nevertheless, Buemi took the decision to stop at the Hangar straight, to avoid causing further damage to his car, or even an accident on the track going back to the pits. Before the contact with Buemi, di Resta was delayed in the pits, when he was nearly given his team mate, Adrian Sutil's tyres. After adding time to his pit stop to resolve the problem, di Resta was released with the correct ones on his car. Unlike his rookie team mate, Sutil seemed to keep mostly out of the limelight, and just comfortably drove his way to the end of the race. The German came just outside of the top 10, and picked up 11th place ahead of Petrov for Lotus Renault.
Likewise, Rubens Barrichello in the second Williams, also seemed to keep out of the action. The Brazilian driver completed the race in 13th position just ahead of his team mate, Maldonado. The Venezuelan and rookie in the sport this season, had a steady race as well, other than the incident with Kobayashi in the pits on lap 12.
Towards the back of the field, the newest teams in Formula One kept themselves away from the action elsewhere. MarussiaVirgin Racing finished the highest of them all. Timo Glock got ahead of his Belgian team mate, Jerome d'Ambrosio, who had to settle for second best in 17th place. Their next rivals to finish were Hispania Racing, as the Team Lotus pair retired from the race. Vitantonio Liuzzi beat his rookie team mate, Australia's Daniel Ricciardo to 18th position.
It was only on lap three of the race getting underway, that Heikki Kovalainen became the first retirement for Team Lotus. The Finnish driver made a promising start to his weekend, as he got through to Q2 yesterday and landed himself in 17th place. His early exit from the race was confirmed, when his car was pushed into the garage with suspected gearbox damage. Kovalainen's Italian team mate, Jarno Trulli. managed to hold on a little longer to keep the team's hopes of a good result alive. Sadly, Trulli's race came to an end on lap 23, when he stopped at the final sector of the track.
After an eventful race and one that ended without Vettel on the top step of the podium, he is still very much in control of the Drivers' Standings. He leads with 204 points, while Webber trails him with 124 points. Meanwhile, the gap between Webber and third place man Alonso has reduced after today's result. Alonso is only 12 points adrift from getting into second place. There is an in team battle between Hamilton and Button, as they are currently equal with 109 points each. Massa is in sixth place at the moment, but 57 points behind the pair.
The Constructors' Championship has even more of a gap between the teams. Red Bull are leading with a massive 328 points, and McLaren are maintaining second place at 218 points. Ferrari are in third position and having picked up good results today, now have 164 points to their name.
The drivers now have two weeks until their next racing battle will commence in Germany at the Nurburgring. Being Vettel's home race, it is certain that he will be aiming for pole, and have his heart set on the race victory. However, as the sport is known for being unpredictable, along with the challenge of weather and rules, as today has shown, his closest competitors will be sure to give him a run for his money.

For many years, I have been told that I should be one of those late-night 'quiet storm' radio deejays. I never really thought much of it because I always thought that involved months/years of broadcasting school, and even more tryouts and potential disappointment. At this point in my life (career/family) I wasn't willing to make that commitment on the chance that it MIGHT pay off. But with this site (if it works like I think it does) this is an opportunity for me to get in some small gigs and see if I might want to to it on a larger scale.

So a I've known this girl since my freshman year of high school.. we are both 22 now. I used to have a crush on her back in hugh school but nothing happened. We stayed close through the years. At the end of last year and the begging of this year we got even closer and one day she told me that she liked the idea of there being an US. So we talked about it and decided to see if we could make it work. After a month she told me she didn't want to ruin what we had and didn't want to risk it. So we stopped talking but through mutual friends we would see each other and talked again as close friends. While we were normal like before, I met this girl that completely made me fall for her. And while I was in the posses of talking to the new girl, she comes to my house to talk to me face to face and tells me she has a commitment problem and wanted to fix that and wanted a second chance! I felt so bad and I told her I was already talking to someone else. She almost cried. I remember hugging her because I felt bad doing that to her but it would of been worse if I would of said yes while wanting to be with the other girl. With the new girl I was just used. Not going to lie I did like her a lot! It has been my biggest heart break! But it made me realize that what I really want from a girl/relationship. The new girl was everything I wanted but not what I needed. Now this past Saturday I went out to my friends birthday party and she was there. When I got there I have her a strong long hug and I asked her how she had been since I hadn't seen her since the day she was at my house. We talked for a bit and she even bought me a drink. Later we danced together and for a moment I rapped my hands around her. I talked to our mutual friendso which are her best friends and they both told me to go and try it again BUT to be careful because she has a bf. No one knows who he is only that they work together. The moment I saw her again I knew I made the wrong choice.
Most Helpful Girl
I think you should make your feelings known to her but don't expect a whole lot in return just then. If she has her fb with her she probably won't say much or will say get lost nicely. Write back with her reaction after you tell her.00|00|0
She won't have her bf with her. She is actually picking me up lol. But from what I've seen, she doesn't take her bf to places with her. 2 days ago she asked me if I was going to an event here in our city and I said maybe and she said she was just going with her cousin. I will ask her. See what happens! And yes I'll keep you updated on what happens!
- Show AllShow Less
See what happens. She made it seem like she doesn't want to care about me but she does and well I have a feeling we will have something. I made some good points that will definitely have her thinking about us.. I will be seeing her around anyways soo for now I will just continue to work on my self and see what happens if not well she is one of my best friend so I don't lose anything!.. thank you for reading this and helping out :)
That sounds great ! Very happy for you and good luck to you.

Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk made no mistake in ensuring they reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time with an impressive 3-0 victory over 10-man AS Roma to win 6-2 on aggregate here on Tuesday.
Goals by Tomas Hubschmann, outstanding Brazilian Willian and Eduardo extended the 2009 UEFA Cup winners' unbeaten home record in European competition to October 2008 when they went down to Sporting Lisbon.
After suffering a 3-2 home defeat in the first leg, Roma's task was made virtually impossible when they were reduced to 10 men late in the first-half when Philippe Mexes was sent off for a second yellow card.
Czech midfielder Hubschmann took the congratulations of his team (known as the 'Pitmen' as they come from a mining region) in the 18th minute for the goal - his first in 17 months - though it appeared that he had not got a touch to Willian's low cross.
However, Roma coach Vincenzo Montella will look askance at his defence who allowed such an innocuous goal to give the visitors an even more challenging task in coming back and becoming only the second side since Ajax in the 1995/96 edition to overcome a home loss in the first leg.
Roma, though, wasted a golden opportunity to reduce the deficit just before the half hour mark as English referee Howard Webb awarded them a penalty after Armenian international Henrik Mkhitaryan was penalised for holding back Marco Borriello.
But Roma's leading scorer then produced a dreadful effort which was saved by Andriy Pyatov.
The visitors' chances took another huge blow in the 41st minute when their French central defender Mexes was sent off after being booked for a second time by World Cup final referee Webb when he tugged back Luis Adriano.
However, Webb was found wanting on the stroke of half-time when he booked Shakhtar captain Dario Srna instead of Roma midfielder Daniele di Rossi, who merited a red card for a clear and malicious elbow on Srna and made worse as the referee failed to award a penalty as the offence took place inside the Italians' penalty area.
The energetic Mkhitaryan provided the first action of the second-half as he cut in from the right and unleashed a fierce shot from outside of the box but Roma goalkeeper Doni beat it away.
However, there was little Doni could do in the 58th minute as the 22-year-old Willian produced a finish of the highest class, bringing down a corner from outside the box and curling a half-volley into the top far corner to send the Ukrainian crowd into raptures.
Brazilian-born Croatian international Eduardo, the former Arsenal striker, rounded off a memorable evening for the hosts as he broke free three minutes from time and easily put the ball past Doni.

Approaching the Face of Cerro Fitz Roy (Chalten)
El Chalten Travel Blog› entry 14 of 20 › view all entries
We took our time getting started this morning as today was not going to be as long or strenuous as yesterday's trek to and on the glacier. Starting our trek we retraced about 20 minutes back towards El Chlaten via the trail we had trekked 24 hours previously. But instead of heading back down the valley we made a sharp left turn and headed up and over the little ridge separating the approach of Cerro Torre to Cerro FitzRoy. This ridge obscured most views of FitzRoy and since it was very cloudy on the drive in on Monday, I had yet to really see the other famous peak in the northern area of Los Glaciares. Before we left the valley, we were able to get one final view of Cerro Torre in a clearing amongst the lenga trees. Still partially obscured in clouds, it was nonetheless a continuing sight to behold with its knife-edged and serrated walls confounding me as to how anyone could climb this beast of a mountain.
As we climbed the ridge, Jim, an avid bird watcher, heard and then saw a Magellanic Woodpecker. My second sighting along with the one in Valle del Frances last week. Unfortunately for Jim this woodpecker decided not to sit still for very long and quickly flitted from view, so once again no pictures were obtained of this elusive bird. We continued our hiking up and over the ridge. This was the easiest hiking of the trip and a marked difference from Torres del Paine. Even the climb and descent of this ridge was over a well graded trail with relatively few rocks although we still had to deal with quite a lot of roots. Oh well, I shouldn't complain too much. When we finally crested and descended we were afforded some welcome flat trails along the shores of Laguna Hija y Madre.
Being in the great wide open the clouds blowing in the breeze presented amazing and ever changing formations, but most importantly kept the overall sky mostly clear as we circled around and Cerro FitzRoy slowly but surely poked its summit out from behind the ridge.
We lunched underneath the granite face of FitzRoy and its siblings at Poincenot Camp.
Initially through the trees the climb wasn't too bad but fairly soon we came out of the trees and it looked like the trail was going straight up a the side of a cliff (or nearly so).
But enough about what was behind, we were moving forward to Laguna de Los Tres and FitzRoy. We finally crested the top of the hill only to find it was a false summit and that there was a bit more climbing to go. But after what we had already climbed this was a small hill that would only take about 5 minutes or so to walk (the total time was a bit over an hour for the 1.
I gradually walked around the rocky shore of Laguna de los Tres. On the south shore is the outlet of Laguna de los Tres.
After nearly an hour on the little plateau, we figured it was time to descend. We had to retrace our hike back down to the sign post past Poincenot Camp and then take the trail towards Laguna Capri instead of back towards Laguna Madre. And as I re-learned on my time in Patagonia sometimes going up was actually easier than going down. I think I had gotten used to all the footing issues by now and actually did not find this descent too difficult. We actually found people still heading up to the top even after 5 PM but in reality they still had 4+ hours of daylight left and depending on where they were spending the evening this should not have been much of an issue.
We finally settled in at Laguna Capri camp around 7 PM. We had another traveller from Italy and a guide who joined us for dinner and conversation. After dinner I headed over to a viewpoint overlooking the Laguna Capri to get a few shots of FitzRoy, but clouds were rolling in and obscured the summit as the sun set over the western horizon. Sitting and looking at the mountains, David said that last Dec (2006) there were only four clear days all month. Twenty-seven days during the month Cerro Torre was never visible at all and almost that many days FitzRoy was hidden from view as well. We had continued to be lucky weather wise for the most part. The winds had been fairly blustery, but not obscenely so, and while clouds had billowed across the mountain peaks off and on, we were able to get some excellent views of both Torre and FitzRoy.

I'm going to be installing a ceiling fan in place of an existing light fixture. The current plastic octagon box is circa 1975 and will be too brittle and unsupportive for a ceiling fan. If I punch out the existing box is there something I can replace it with that can be mounted from the room instead of the attic & without drilling tons of holes in the ceiling that would have to be patched.

Our series continues looking at a player or a group of players from each Big Ten team who needs a home run type of summer before preseason camp begins. Who needs to hit it out of the park in preparation for the season?
For previous entries, click here.
In the batter's box: Purdue
Who needs to step it up: The linebackers
Danny Hope could have his best team at Purdue this fall. The Boilermakers have good depth and experience, and Hope particularly likes what he's got to work with on his defensive line and in the secondary. But the linebacker spot has a few question marks. Leading tackler Joe Holland graduated. The return of Dwayne Beckford from a DUI-related suspension following spring practice should help a lot, and Will Lucas also comes back after making 82 tackles a year ago. The new defense installed by coordinator Tim Tibesar reportedly will have some 3-4 looks, which means the Boilers will need to identify some dependable players to go along with Beckford and Lucas. Purdue moved former quarterback Sean Robinson to linebacker in the spring for more depth and just signed junior-college linebacker Ruben Ibarra last week for some immediate help. Senior Antwon Higgs adds experience to a group that was not among the elite units in the Big Ten next year. Hopefully, Beckford will use his second chance wisely and take charge of the position this summer. If Purdue can make major gains at linebacker, it has a chance to field one of the better defenses in the league.

Eugenie Woo, Owner
Growing up in Demarest NJ, owner Eugenie has always had a driving passion for food. During her rebellious teen years, her parents often threatened sending her to culinary school, exasperated by her lack of focus on anything other than food. That threat turned into a happy reality when she enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America where she earned a BPS degree in Culinary Management. After gaining kitchen experience working in restaurants in Ithaca and here in New York at Nobu Next Door, Eugenie moved her focus into front of house operations and management in the luxury service environment at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Columbus Circle. From there she became Catering Director of City University of New York's Graduate Center with Restaurant Associates and then moved on to a corporate position with them as Project Manager for new unit openings in the New York, Boston and Washington DC areas. In this role, Eugenie helped oversee and manage the openings of over 50 food service operations including the World Bank, the US Senate, Longwood Gardens, and At 65 (Lincoln Center).
Chris Scott, Chef
Born in Coatesville PA, Chef Chris began his culinary career in Philadelphia when the city was in the midst of a culinary revolution. Philly was shaking off its old school style and moving into a world of new ingredients, new cooking techniques, innovative ideas and bolder, cleaner flavors. He worked alongside notable chefs such as Marcus Sammuelsson, Franklin Becker, Kevin Sbraga (Top Chef season 7 winner), Mike Isabella (Top chef season 6), Al Paris (Heirloom Restaurant), and Jim Burke (Caffe Storico NYC).
After spending 15 years in Philly honing his skills and running two major restaurants with the Starr Restaurant Group, Chef Chris moved to New York City where he earned the position of Executive Chef for CNN and Time Warner. While overseeing the dining experiences for the entire media conglomerate, he also created exclusive events with L'Oreal, NBA, NFL, HBO, Chris Rock, and the city government of New York. In addition, he has cooked for actors, professional athletes and elite dignitaries such as Tony Blair and Nelson Mandela.
Brooklyn Commune
Finally in November of 2010, Chris and Eugenie took the next step in their culinary journey with the opening of Brooklyn Commune. In this personal environment, they can now fully express their love of food and community by not only providing wonderful dining experiences, but also making real connections with people. By teaching a child to cook a healthy meal or through outreach work feeding the homeless or helping victims of Hurricane Harvey & Maria, they strive to help make this world healthier and happier place. They invite you to come and taste the flavors of their story, feel the love, and become a part of their growing community.

The Detrimental Effects of List Articles
- Details
- Category: Volume 85 (Fall 2013 - Spring 2014)
- Published: 26 February 2014
Lists are a great thing; useful in so many way. Great when you need to remember what to get while grocery shopping or to remind yourself what needs to get done. However, lists are not ideal when it comes to expressing your thoughts.
There has been a recent trend in the past year of people becoming obsessed with "listicles" (articles + lists). They're short, to the point, and sometimes come with a cute little moving picture. Maybe it is our generation's attention span, where the thought of reading a well thought-out article seems more like a daunting task than an enjoyable experience.
The New Yorker actually did a study that showed people's minds prefer lists because they take the hard work out of reading, proving they could have detrimental effects on people's ability to write.
If we keep reading these listicles, your brain may no longer want to do the heavy lifting when it comes to writing essays of your own.
We scroll through our Twitter feeds with news, jokes, and people's activities in snippets of no more than 140 characters. Our generation is becoming more and more inclined to think in the short term, with undeveloped, under-explained thoughts.
Lists are aiding in the deterioration of the way people think. Information is thrown at us all day long in brief, short segments, the last thing we want to do in our down time is to read lists after lists of short, brief, underdeveloped ideas.
We go through our entire day with flashes of information, the less we get of that the better.
As lists become more and more popular, less people write full detailed articles. With so many people not enjoying a good book on top of that, where will these people learn to write?
Reading in general is one of the best ways to improve one's writing skills. If everything is written in list form, people's minds will start to think in lists and condensed thoughts.
The structure of a well written essay will become more and more distant through future generations. You would never write a term paper in list form, why would you write your thoughts out in list form?
Writing is a beautiful thing and the thoughts behind some of these listicles are so interesting, why not explain and form each thought into a great essay?
People extinguish the great potential their thoughts have by categorizing and listing; leaving little room for explanation and expansion on these thoughts.
Now I am not saying I don't enjoy a listicle every once and a while. Some of them are really funny. But how many people need to tell me 20 things I should do in my twenties?
Authors and writers should take one of those points and expand it into a beautiful well written piece of journalism. Tell of the experience behind one of their points and why that makes it so important.
On a side note, if our generation is moving more and more towards these listicles, can the writers at least try to use some creativity in the title?
The titles all say the same thing; a number followed by exactly what the list is proving. "Ten Reasons Dad's Are the Best," "Twelve Reasons Why You Should Be Single," "Five Things You Will Regret," "Twenty-five Ways to Be a Better You." Adding some spark to the title cannot be that hard to do.
The creativity and writing is already squandered in the article, is it too much to ask to at least think of a creative or differentiating title?
Just in this article alone I have given you three reasons why lists are detrimental, and did not have to number, categorize, nor bold a title to each reason.
My thoughts are clearly integrated into a piece of writing. My only hope is that listicles are a fad and soon people will have the urge to take their thoughts and expand upon them.
Until then, escape to books, look for well written articles and try to stay away from listicles, trust me, your writing will thank you later.

Dirk Reuyl
Dirk Reuyl (1906 – 1972) was a Dutch American physicist and astronomer. He was the cousin of astronomer Peter van de Kamp.
Like his cousin, Reuijl (later "Reuyl") was born in Kampen, Overijssel. He studied physics and mathematics at Utrecht University, where, in October 1931, he defended his PhD dissertation "Photographic measures of close double stars" with Albertus Antonie Nijland as advisor.[1] He came to the United States a few years before Van de Kamp. He joined the staff at McCormick Observatory in 1929 and continued to work there until 1944. He originally worked on the parallax of stars, first publishing a list of 50 measurements in 1929 with fellow staff member Alexander N. Vyssotsky.[2] In 1941 he measured angular diameter of Mars using photographic plates.[3]
Claim of planets[edit]
In 1943 he claimed to have discovered (with Erik Holberg) a planetary companion of the star system 70 Ophiuchi and other stars. He caimed that this planetary object had 10 times the mass of the planet Jupiter and a 17-year orbital period.[4] This caused quite a sensation at the time. A critical analysis by Wulff Heintz later discredited these claims.[5]
Later life and death[edit]
In 1944 he left McCormick Observatory and became head of the Photographic Division at the Ballistic Research Laboratory of the U.S. Army Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland.[6] He wrote a 1949 article for Sky and Telescope on guided missiles.[7] During the late 1940s and the 1950s he worked on optically tracking the launch and trajectory of captured V-2 rockets. In 1957 Reuyl began a project for the optical tracking of the first artificial Earth satellites for the International Geophysical Year. This project was in association with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and tracked the first satellites launched by the U.S and Soviet Union.[8] Reuyl remained associated with Aberdeen through the 1960s.[9] He died in 1972.
Honors and awards[edit]
Reuyl Crater, an impact crater on Mars, was named in his honor.

How does the education system of India reduce the economic divide?
- print Print
- list Cite
As with other systems of education in industrialized countries, India's education system is free and open to the public. That is, everyone can attend. Besides being democratic, this is an important vehicle for social change, in that it opens up not only the possibility of literacy, but that of obtaining basic economic and social skills necessary to progess beyond poverty.
Gandhi also made it a priority to develop higher education facilities and make them accessible to India's population. Many of the best medical, technical and business schools in the world are found in India today, at least partly realizing his dream.
India also makes a special effort to include those who are economically disadvantaged in its secondary education program, which is open to nearly 100 million individuals, and they then have access to top notch instructors, often visiting from colleges and universities they may then be qualified to attend.

This time of year I'm doing lots of cooking demos about the wonders of using a pressure cooker to make delicious vegan holiday meals…fast! One thing that amazes folks (and me!) is how succulent a vegan holiday roast is with just a few minutes under pressure…
PHOTO: Kate Lewis
…and how fab it is to make a holiday roast and root veggies in one-pot (Field Roast, Gardein, and Tofurky make tasty holiday roasts). Here's the recipe!
Holiday Roast with Mashed Vegetables
Ingredients (4 -6 servings)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (160 g) diced yellow onion
- 2 cups (260 g) diced carrot
- 2 cups (220 g) diced potato
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 vegan stuffed roast (1 pound, or 454 g), thawed (Field Roast, Gardein, and Tofurky make holiday roasts)
- 3/4 to 1 cup (180 to 235 ml) vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter (optional)
In an uncovered pressure cooker, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add the carrots, potatoes, and salt. Mix well. Place the thawed roast on top of the vegetables and pour the vegetable broth over the roast.
Cover and bring to pressure. Cook at low pressure for 8 minutes. Use a quick release.
Remove the lid, remove the roast, and set aside.
Add the almond milk, black pepper, and vegan butter to the vegetables in the pressure cooker and mash with a potato masher. Slice the roast and serve with the mashed vegetables.
Recipe Note
If you're using a multifunction electric pressure cooker, you can also use the slow-cooking function for 1 hour.

It's gratifying when you find a genius who agrees with you. Here's what Einstein once said:
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men—above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
Einstein doesn't just mean you need to keep your boss happy. If, for instance, your fellow citizens are ill-housed, un- or underemployed, impoverished, unhealthy, and uneducated, you can bet your life your happiness will be diminished if not ultimately destroyed.
Your happiness is diminished when your paycheck is plundered to provide a niggardly subsistence to those unable to provide for themselves. This includes the three million people who earn at or below the minimum wage (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), not to mention the millions more who earn less than a living wage.
The current federal minimum wage ($7.25/hour since July 2009) is considerably less than half a living wage by most accounts (see, e.g., the living wage calculators at MIT and the Economic Policy Institute).
Your happiness is diminished by the increase in all sorts of crime and corruption that thrive in times when the absence of "smiles and well-being" is so apparent among so many. We are living in an angry world, where in the U.S. a mass shooting happens on average more than once a day; where millions risk death to flee places that should be considered their home and sanctuary; where existence is threatened for other millions by rising ocean levels and capricious weather patterns; where a vicious fundamentalism has replaced strong-man tyrannies and spread its venom throughout the world.
Your happiness is diminished by the cost of dealing with all this unhappiness, in domestic surveillance, enforcement, and imprisonment; and in international conflicts that siphon trillions from our treasury.
In Darwinian terms, ensuring the other guy's "smiles and well-being" is a survival mechanism, not some feel-good, altruistic effort, and this is Einstein's point: Our survival depends on the other person's survival; our happiness on their happiness.
No candidate for president has proposed policies or programs that are not, finally and essentially, business as usual, or worse, or much worse. No candidate has proclaimed that we must rewrite our social contract with ourselves, to acknowledge the truth of Einsteins observation and to pursue its goals with dispatch. Not even Bernie.
And for that reason, I despair of the short-term future for our nation, and of the long-term future for our planet.

The History of Acorn Stairlifts
Acorn Stairlifts was formed in 1992. The business started by buying, reconditioning and reselling used stairlifts, as well as buying new lifts from manufacturers. Within a very short period of time, demand surpassed supply as customers began to take notice of the distinct value that the new solution provides.
The Design of Acorn Stairlifts
The great interest in the solutions that Acorn provided led to the design and manufacture of Acorn?s own stairlift: The Acorn Superglide Stairlift. Soon after, this new stairlift became a market leader, and to this day remains at the forefront of stairlift technology.
The Acorn Superglide Stairlift was designed to be simple, easy to install, and maintain, taking away many of the difficulties experienced with previous stairlift models. With the acquisition of the manufacturing facilities for the motor and gearbox, Acorn gained complete control over the quality of their solution. The Superglide 120 became the standard for superior quality and advanced stairlift technology.
Innovative technology
Through the years, many mechanisms from the first Acorn Superglide Stairlifts have been modified to adapt to advancing technology. Acorn Stairlifts prides itself with creation of contemporary design, use of latest innovations and the manufacture of top quality components. Acorn Stairlifts has pioneered the use of direct current (DC) batteries, the FastTrack system, and Smart-Level technology.
Acorn is now the leading global stairlift company, reaching its customers directly with more than 50,000 top-of-the-line stairlifts each year.

Yuvraj Singh returned home to a warm welcome on Monday after a three-month long treatment for a rare germ cell cancer and his doctors are confident that the India cricketer will not suffer a cancer relapse.
He underwent three cycles of chemotherapy in the United States and finished the treatment mid-March before moving to London for recuperating.
The official BCCI website says, "Yuvraj's doctors were happy with his reaction to the treatment and were confident he wouldn't suffer a relapse".
Yuvraj was treated by Dr Lawrence Einhorn who had also treated legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong in 1996.
Yuvraj's mother Shabnam Singh spoke to the media on Monday and said Yuvraj has been advised rest for 10-15 days. "He is absolutely fine. He's been advised rest for 10-15 days."
She also said he did not have to visit the doctors for the next three months.
He will to announce his future plans and details about treatment received on Wednesday. The southpaw, however, is not expected to play for a few months and he's predicted to return to the cricket field closer to the end of 2012.
Yuvraj has been out of action since November when he last played a Test against the West Indies. However, his last ODI was the World Cup final against Sri Lanka on April 2, 2011. He missed the entire Australian tour and also the ongoing the Indian Premier League season 5 due to his ailment.
Yuvraj has scored 8,051 runs in 274 one-dayers and 1,775 runs in 37 Tests since making his international debut in 2000. His fans are eagerly waiting to see him return to the field, where he really belongs, completely fit.

The Story of Grunk Garfunkle: An Ogre's Episode
"The Story of Grunk Garfunkle"
The evening sun was setting in the distance and behind it trailed the light of another golden day, but squatting high on a rusty mountain range in the Blarkard Desert was a village of sandstone huts where another fire was being lit to take its place. A great pyre of brush was coming to life with flame in celebration of The Great Ogre Holiday of "Stunk Krungle-gruntas."
Translated to the Common Tongue this loosely means "Eating Chickens Alive Party", which the Ogres found to be festive and amusing. It wasn't every day that they chased live chickens through the streets and ate them in mass quantities, hundreds and hundreds, still 'grunkle-grawlen' and 'krinkrin-frunken' for mercy. Often it is pigs.
There is no direct translation for grunkle-grawlen and krinkrin-frunken in the Common Tongue, but I've found that it can be roughly translated to 'fluster-flapping' and 'panicked cluck-begging'.
A great crowd of Red-skinned Mountain Ogres had gathered for the lighting of the bonfire, a bi-annual event that signaled the beginning of the festivities. Scores of chicken coops scattered across several miles of Skungk Village would be opened simultaneously, releasing the vast hoard of plump and defenseless little snacks into a living and bellowing Hell of blood-thirsty predators.
They coo-cooed and squabbled aimlessly at first – each about a mouthful for a grown Ogre with their jaw unhinged and stretched to its widest – but once the first few were torn limb from limb in a gooshing smushy-pop of crunchy bone and sinew the others would fly into hysterics. That is, if chickens could fly.
Even if they could, Ogre village was surrounded, all several miles rimmed with an iron fence twelve feet tall. As I said: Chicken Hell. Cages withing cages. It was a guaranteed blood-bath in the most literal depiction of the words 'blood' and 'bath'.
Funny enough, in Ogrish (the Ogre's spoken tongue) there was no such word for 'bath' in the hygienic sense, but more than eight words for 'blood-bath'…
I sat at the top of the sandstone hut I called home contemplating the structural integrity of the hut under my 250lbs of muscle and pot-belly. That evening as the grand fire began to blaze there was much on my mind, though Ogrish then was the only language I could think or speak.
"Grunk! Gk'ruk nur'grunk'n kruk gr'nuner krun!?" a voice called up to me. Grunk! Brother and friend, it said in Ogrish, why not do you join our festive slaughter?
Oh, if tears could spell thoughts! If eyes could spill truth instead of salted waters!
"Ker'nunken'rgk frug'durk!" Just go eat your chickens! I screamed back down. It was impossible to hide my distress. With a snort (the common departing gesture in Ogrish dialect) the brother red-skin pranced off. It is damning to the eyes to see an Ogre prance, really.
From behind my perch I heard thunderous footsteps coming up the crooked sandstone stairs. My mother, like any Ogre, could not step in any way but thunderously. Stepping was more like stomping, stomping was more like crushing the Earth beneath our feet.
For purposes of story-telling I will abandon the Ogrish speech in place of the Common Tongue. I find it… tedious, troublesome to write.
"Grunk, what is wrong?" my Mama Ogre said bellowing-ly. I still cringe to think that she must still speak with such booming ignorance, even when attempting to sound consoling.
"What is this, Mother? Why must we act like barbarians? Every two years we fill the streets with this spectacle of shame." I knew it was a trivial start to a useless conversation. A dozen times I had tried to relate these feelings, but always the same responses.
"But Grunk, you will see how the chickens plead for their chicken-feathered lives and won't you want to join the fun?"
"No! I do not want to see the chickens torn asunder again!" I cried, salty tears of Ogre-y sadness.
"Then we'll prepare a special pig, just for-"
"NO! Not a pig, either! It's not the meat, Mother, it's the needless carnage! I will eat chicken, I will eat pig, but must we have a festival celebrating our own barbarism!? Can we not have a chicken prepared on a plate, one for each Ogre, instead of gorging, twenty for each, blood-bathing in their chicken life-flood?" Here I used 'skurg'urg-krungles', arguably the most poetic of the many words for 'blood-bathing' in Ogrish.
I needn't turn my head to see the far off look of dismay in my Mother's red-obsidian Ogre eyes. I had seen it dozens, scores, maybe hundreds of times throughout the years during similar conversations.
Since my rebellious teenage years I had questioned our Ogre-culture, woven colorful rocks and feathers into my hair instead of freshly torn animal limbs and dead birds. I had befriended our house-pigs and fattened them out of companionship and love. I had done this though I knew their fate was to be released into the neighboring streets and hunted for blood-sport with teeth and claws. As a child-Ogre I had hidden and cried whenever the hunting day came. My mother always asked as she splat-plopped the head of my piggy-friend on the table, "Where were you, Grunk? Where were you?"
I turned to her, but I didn't see her. I saw right past her, the stretches of red-iron desert in the distance as the sun set. I knew before she had arrived what I would do that night. Without a word I stood and walked past her, down the sandstone steps that shifted slightly under my feet, through the house I questioned the structural stability of (for good reason: many of the huts collapsed unexpectedly…), and made my way outside. Already I could hear the chickens squabbling, smelling the killer instinct growing to a frenzy in the streets and alleys.
"Gruuuuunk!" I yelled. I quickened my pace, put more distance between me and the impossible distance that had grown between me and that house.
"Gruuuuuuuunk!" I ran lumbering-ly, the only way Ogres really run. I bowled into a passerby Ogre-brother. He smacked his butt in the typical offensive Ogrish gesture, but I kept running, gaining speed, making for the nearest chicken-den.
"GRUUUUNK! GRUNK, GRUNK, GRUNK!" Ogre-tears ran down my face, Ogre-rage had me by the Ogre-balls, so to Ogre-speak. That's how we spoke, how I spoke, back then. The chicken-den came into view, a hundred or more chickens grunkle-grawlen and krinkrin-frunken in fear.
"GRUUUUUUUNK! GRUNK, GRUNK GRUUUUUUNK!!!" I shrieked and SMAAASSH! went the wooden fence that kept the chickens prisoner! SMAAASH! This time the chicken-house where the chickens lived, the door blew apart as I Ogre-plowed through it! SMAAASH! Right through the walls of the chicken-house – SMAAASH! – I was a crushing force of chicken-liberation! I was a chicken-freedom-fighter! A freedom-smasher! Chickens fluster-flapped and ba-cawked around me, explosions of white and brown feathers everywhere, I stepped on a few (that I regret, but Ogre's are blinded when in the Ogre-rage) and the house of chicken-captivity blew apart in my rage!
"GRUUUUUUNK!" I screamed, slobbering and crying with a trail of frenzied chickens all around me like the godly aura of a chicken, a, a chicken-GOD!
But then… the iron gate was before me.
But then, nothing could stop me, the Ogre-rage blinded everything before me, all I could think was NO! NO, NO, NO! SMASH IT DOWN! And I did! I SMASHED my Ogre-fists into the thick iron bars, again, again, AGAIN! The iron squealed and bent under each Ogre-blow! The chickens, I could hear them cheering for me! Not really cheering, but I heard their frenzy as a roar in my temples, the Ogre-rage screaming CRUSH IT ALL! NO MORE! CRUSH ALL THAT BARS YOU!
I vaguely remember Ogre-arms of many Ogre-brothers and sisters trying to hold me back, but without the Ogre rage driving their actions as mine were driven they stood no chance against my flailing, crushing Ogre-fury. With this fury behind my blows, not the chicken-house, not the iron bars, not the entire village, nothing could stop me. The iron gate broke into pieces under my hellish rain of punches.
And I kept running, never looking back, straight into the desert, a hundred or more chickens coursing in a frenzy behind me like great, white and brown chicken-angel wings sprouting from my back.
I was free.
Poetry from the archives: A sijo about ravens…
Given the choice of ravens or crows, I'd prefer ravens
A flock of crows is a murder, but ravens just an unkindness
For among such omens I would hope to be so lucky…
If We Burn
by robert okaji
This. This is good.
If We Burn
What flares instead to replace our
privileged nights? And which
assemblage of words could reorder these
deaths into comprehension,
change I can't breathe from epitaph
to actuated plea for help?
Are words ever enough?
Can we stack our indifference and fear
into a mile-high pyre, and torching it
watch them rise to nothingness,
disappearing through the clouds
into the streaming light of cold, dark stars?
Raise your hands and sing. Blow softly
upon the ember. Inhale and recall.
Do you still feel? Will you breathe?
Every fire needs oxygen.
How to feel more confident
Happiness, Health and Hypnosis
Confidence is a bit like air.
When you have it you tend not to think about it, when you don't it can feel awful.
Social anxiety, performance anxiety and generalised anxiety can all be debilitating, reducing sufferers to people afraid to leave their own homes and with serious esteem issues.
The good news is that it can be overcome.
It takes work, and it's not always easy, but you can do it.
My advice would be to get professional help – counsellors and therapists can work wonders in this area.
If you're not ready to take that step, or think you can manage it yourself there are some things that you can do to move forward.
How to feel more confident.
1. Challenge your beliefs.
If you you believe that everyone at the party will hate you – challenge that.
Firstly, it's very likely that most people at the party…

Hacking Creativity: Simple Steps to Become More Creative
Very sound. Very.
One of my most vivid memories from high school involves a pottery class I took during my senior year. While I was sitting there mashing clay around the table trying my best to sculpt something that resembled a bowl, some of my classmates were practically recreating Michelangelo's "David."
There seemed to be a chasm in the quality of art being created. Some projects would be showcased proudly on a shelf at home while others would be hidden behind picture frames and encyclopedia volumes. I was in the latter group. Whatever gene was responsible for creativity, I didn't have it.
Fast forward several years, I decided to give blogging a try. To my amazement, I was decent at stringing words together. After many early mornings of practice, I was even able to sell a few pieces of writing. Despite my lack of ingenuity in art class, I was able to grow some semblance of a creative muscle.
While we…

We have all been there...
Whether your a male or a female you have on occassion had that special event that is looming over your shoulder and you think to yourself, "Will I be able to fit into that dress/suit"? Your next thought is "Nope! I need to lose weight and FAST"!
Ok, so there are diet pills, lowfat recipes, fasting techniques, hours of strenuous exercise routines etc...but none of these strategies will work if you don't want them to! So now your thinking, why wouldn't I WANT them to?
What most people don't do, is prepare themselves properly for the task. This I can tell you is probably the biggest reason people can't lose the weight they want. It's all MENTAL!
STEP 1: Take a look at yourself in the mirror...who are you losing weight for? Is it for this ONE special occasion? Are you doing it for that ONE special person? The only person you should be losing weight for is yourself!!
STEP 2: Have a plan! Ever hear the saying, "Fail to plan, plan to fail?" Think about how much weight you want to lose and how quickly is SAFE for you to lose it. Most likely you didn't gain that extra 30 lbs in a week, so don't expect that you could lose it in a week either.
Whether you decide to cut the carbs, run a marathon, hype up on diet pills or one of the many other options don't waste your time if you are not in the mind frame for the challenge.
The bottom line is, there are many avenues out there to guide and help you to lose weight. They all worked for someone or they wouldn't be trying to advertise to others. The big difference it worked for them and not you is because they were READY.
The only obstacle to reaching your goal, is YOU!

The_Golden_One replied to beehiveone's topic in Scammer RegistryRecently came back and I've noticed that the amount of scammers has risen, even from after the merge. People "trading kamas", "deactivating shields" apart from the retarded scam attempts posted above. This is actually out of control. During the evening you're guaranteed to see a couple of the above scams advertising in the chat without a care in the world. We really do need a mod or two, or alternatively a goddamn report button.
The_Golden_One replied to Villike's topic in The GalleryHoly motherfuckin shit that should be illegal. Reported. Gj man
The_Golden_One replied to SamTheKing's topic in Poultry PaddockYou've got it right. Golden/(anything from gen 1) mated with a Golden/(anything from gen 1) will eventually yield you a Ginger. For Almonds, any mixture of gen 1s for example Indigo/Crimson and Ebony/Orchid will eventually get you an Almond, although from my experience Almonds are way harder to get.
The_Golden_One replied to Ultimate-Sensation's topic in Imps Village AirportI have no idea how we met brother but I can say that it was a blessing. Keep your head high and have a good life man, take care. xx
The_Golden_One replied to Crajj's topic in Imps Village AirportThis is the problem that Dofus has, imo. On almost any other MMORPG, money-making is rudimentary since you can put literally anything up for sale and you'll get money for it. Here, you have to know what to put on the market and pray that a buyer purchases the item before bots/other people undercut you. You have to find out what people want and evaluate if it is worth spending your time on. As Sam said, nobody wants to put their cards on the table if it means other people will want a piece of the cake. In the end however, when you see that "[Bank] + 1,000,000 kamas : Sale of [My ass]" you'll treasure it even more. Now I understand that this is very abstract advice but it is essentially up to you to find a lucrative money-making scheme. For a good test, try and support yourself without using irl money for p2p. If you manage to do so, you've got yourself handled and if not, you have to keep on looking.
The_Golden_One replied to Filthy Weeaboo's topic in Poultry PaddockSorry, not Bob here but I can give you my 2 cents The total amount of chamos I've ever gotten is 5, all orchids, all males. I bred them straight away with other seemyools with a better family tree but it only worked once, got a chameleon male orchid again. Mass breeding seemyool chamos is entirely different from doing so with turkeys simply because of the ridiculous amount of mates seemyools have. With an average of 3 mates, you have to be extremely lucky for the parents to pass down the chameleon trait to their newborn. The percentage of successfully getting a chamo from chamo parent(s) is so minuscule that it's completely up to RNG, in my experience anyway. This is main reason seemyool chameleons are so scarce and therefore expensive.
The_Golden_One replied to -Sydney-'s topic in The GalleryDear Ankama, this is how you balance stuff smh
The_Golden_One replied to Rayish's topic in Scammer RegistryOr how about you spend your time better instead of playing ridiculous games and end up losing hard-earned items? I'm sorry if this sounds rude but you should have seen this 'scam' coming from a mile away.
The_Golden_One replied to Urmom's topic in Scammer RegistryI too am sad to hear about this. The only fellow Maltese citizen I have encountered during the past year (probably lives 10/15 mins away from me at most) turns out to pull this kind of shit even when he's well over 25 y/o at least. He has given me some advice before but I didn't know that most of his achievements were thanks to other people playing his chars for him lol. In any case, respect to Blank for handling the situation maturely.
The_Golden_One posted a topic in [RUSHU] Village ProfessionalsWeird request you might think? Hear me out. I need someone who has access to this NPC (only available once you complete quests pertaining to the Sufokian Abyss Dungeons) to help me exchange my tons of seemyool certificates into tokens and then exchange the tokens for something I want. What's in it for you? You get to keep a good 35% of the tokens from the certificates I hand you. Basically I'm giving out free tokens that you can use for your liking. If you are an honest dude/gal, hit me up in-game (Golden-Etemaii). This isn't only for a one-time demand. Every so often I will drop you a pm to do this process again. Thanks
Thank you kind sir
In order to get a Turq Seemy, the two parents have to be Ginger + any variation of Gen 1? I.e. Ginger/Orchid + Ginger/Indigo should yield a Turq right? The wiki's confusing me as it has written 'OR' between every possible mix which would make it theoretically impossible to breed.
The_Golden_One replied to Cleveland Brown's topic in Imps Village AirportNothing nice. Fuckin try me m8
The_Golden_One replied to Otto-Lpzig's topic in The InformatoryCrafting Minor trophies is probably the fastest way of levelling an artificer at first, especially if you have a bunch of Kolo tokens handy and a team to farm the necessary mats with. Also, don't sell any of the trophies you make as you'll re-use them for their medium/major versions. Check for shields that you can make as there probably are a select few recipes that aren't retarded (it's been a while since I checked) but I remember crafting some Sharkal shields and other low-recipes at first. Do all this while keeping your artificer service toggled on so good folks can provide you with free exp every now and then. This isn't an easy profession to level to say the least, so it will take you some time to max it. Goodluck
The_Golden_One replied to Gravestorm's topic in Ankama AnnouncementsSo basically used paddock items will become destroyable and in return you'll get nuggets? I've read the whole changelog and I have even more question than before. From what I've understood, paddock items can now be thrown into some kind of recycler located in prisms and it will generate nuggets in monsters of that area. Is that anywhere close to correct? Apologies if this is somewhat off-topic now that that system is nothing new to begin with.
The_Golden_One replied to Gravestorm's topic in Ankama AnnouncementsThe shield update is like 3/4 years late but at least it has arrived. Also, can anyone explain how this new recycling system will work? Removing the option to exchange used paddock items for new ones is very questionable and I hope that it won't be as retarded as I'm assuming it will be given how demanding the recipes are.
The_Golden_One replied to Jappar's topic in [RUSHU] In-Game MerchantsGreat guy buy his stuff ppl :^)
The_Golden_One replied to The_Golden_One's topic in [RUSHU] Village ProfessionalsYeah I talked to the guy running his account and he didn't seem very talkative to say the least. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll keep trying to find someone.

Bozeman, (PressExposure) February 01, 2012 -- Elite Lawyer Project announced the affiliation of Barkan Meizlish Attorneys at Law as their Columbus personal injury law firm for the Columbus, OH area. For more than 50 years the firm has provided legal services to those who have sustained workplace injuries and can no longer work due to an injury or disability and those who have sustained injuries due to the negligent acts of another. The firm also provides legal representation to various labor organizations and their memberships across many professions and industries.
Barkan Meizlish has offices in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Florida. According to Sanford Meizlish, a senior partner at the firm, "More so now than ever has representing the disabled and injured been more challenging. In many situations we see employee rights and unions under attack by elected officials, employers and the legal system in general. Those entities and individuals that seek to weaken rights of the working class and their unions, the disabled and injured continue to aggressively lobby legislatures and the U.S. Congress with success. The goal is to obtain legal decisions and enact laws designed to limit or even eliminate the benefits the disabled and injured so rightly deserve. These people appear to be pushing for a system where the business owners reap all rewards and maintain complete power rather than valuing their employees who have helped them achieve their success. Our law firm levels the playing field for injured workers."
Colter Anderson, CEO of the Elite Lawyer Project has this to say about the firm, "We only work with one law firm in each market, so we search out those we are comfortable recommending to the personal injury victims that contact us through http://www.elitelawyerproject.com for help. Barkan Meizlish has a dedicated staff of attorneys and paralegals that are highly committed to their clients. We are pleased to have a law firm of this caliber join the Elite Lawyer Project and the added value they bring to our network of personal injury lawyers throughout the United States. This firm specializes in Workers Compensation Law and well as Social Security Disability claims and they have helped many clients gain the compensation they deserve. They are also well versed in most areas of personal injury law and have the experience and skill set to help victims of personal injury."

Aloe vera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller) is a widely cultivated cactus-like plant that is a member of the lily family. Aloe vera is known to soothe and cleanse the digestive tract and help develop digestion.
Aloe Vera Digestive Benefits
Aloe vera is known worldwide for its digestive effects. Specific components in aloe vera have a anti inflammatory activity on the enzymes responsible for damaging the intestinal wall. Mucopolysaccharides found in the aloe vera role in the body by lining the colon to keep out toxins. Mucopolysaccharides expedite the absorption of water, electrolytes and nutrition in the gastrointestinal tract, and help to maintain fluid movement thus the digestive system can work healthy and alleviate indigestion. Aloe latex and aloe leaves include chemicals with laxative effects. German Commission E (an official government agency similar to the FDA) has approved aloe for treating constipation. A typical dose is 50 to 200 mg of aloe latex, taken in liquid or capsule form once a day for up to 10 days.
Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the membrane of the colon and rectum. Some researches shows that aloe vera can help relieve ulcerative colitis which is a painful inflammation of the colon. Patients with ulcerative colitis responded well to aloe vera in a study reported in the Apr 2004 edition of the journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Patients took 100 mL of aloe vera gel twice per day for 4 weeks. As many as 47% demonstrated healing of ulcerative colitis symptoms. A 2004 article reported in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that administration of oral aloe appeared to have a protecting property on the lining of the stomachs of rats. Another study reported the World Journal of Gastroenterology (2006) found that aloe could promote the healing of gastric ulcers. Aloe may preserve against stomach ulcers, according to a study reported in the Apr 2011 edition of the International Journal of Molecular Medicine. A study performed in Japan demonstrated that the compounds in aloe juice decreased the formation of lesions and secretion of gastric juices that can cause the pain associated with ulcers. A team from the Barts and London, "Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry" have carried out experiments which show that the herb has a useful efficacy on the production of substances which help boost the healing process in cases of ulceration in the gut. The scientists believe aloe vera could be especially beneficial in treating ulcers caused as a adverse effect of taking anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

New York, August 12, 2009 – The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the news that photojournalist Majid Saeedi has been released on bail in Iran, but remains concerned that he still faces charges.
Saeedi, a well-known freelance photographer who has worked for several newspapers and global photo agency Getty Images, was released on bail on Tuesday. Getty Images co-founder and CEO Jonathan Klein said that Saeedi "is set to face trial on the charges set by Iranian prosecutors, and is possibly facing several years in prison if convicted."
"We are relieved by Majid Saeedi's release from prison today, but call on authorities to drop all charges against him," said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator Mohamed Abdel Dayem. "Saeedi was simply doing his job in documenting post-election events. We appeal to the government to release all remaining imprisoned journalists."
On July 10, security agents arrested Saeedi at his home and took him to an unknown location, according to Getty Images. Official Iranian news sources reported that he and another photographer, Satyar Emami, had allegedly confessed to taking pictures and sending them to "enemy [news] agencies." Emami was arrested on July 9.
Iran remains the world's leading jailer of journalists with at least 37 behind bars.

Lessons Tatyana Huft
Why Music Lessons?
Why would you want to take a music lessons? What is the brain connection between music and health?
The answer is simple.
Playing music has been discovered to have a direct and almost immediate effect on the brain of the student. That's right. Music lessons have been shown in a German study to have a significant impact on the way the brain functions after as little as five weeks!
What they found is that music lessons lead to brain development, which ultimately means that music lessons have the effect of giving the individual that is taking the lessons improved brain function from which to draw in the rest of his or her life.
Second, the brain connection from music lessons is significant because researchers in Hong Kong took the study one step further and tested a group of students with music lessons and a group without music lessons for verbal memory, and found that the group that was taking music lessons outscored their non-musical peers by a significant margin.
It gets better still. The same groups of students were tested a year later, even after some of them had discontinued their music lessons, and found that they still outscored their non-musical peers in verbal tests!
The fact is, children that take music lessons will perform better in other areas of academic achievement.

Her desire to be a music teacher began at the age of 5, as a 3 generation musician.

Piano Lessons
What age should my child start piano?
Children can start piano at the age of 4. This is the best instrument for any student to start because piano is the basic foundation of music. If you are skilled at the piano, it is a lot easier to pick up any other instrument. All music majors in college must have courses in piano before they can graduate.
We highly recommend that all students begin their musical studies in piano.
I am an adult with no music experience, is it too late for piano lessons?
It is never too late to learn piano, and we are happy to help! We are finding more and more adults enrolling everyday. This is usually for one of two reasons. Either they quit as a child and are full of regrets or they were never given the opportunity to play.
Whether it is for relaxation, personal enjoyment, or for a specific purpose, learning an instrument is a rewarding experience for students of all ages. Don't give up too quickly either. It can be more difficult for adults to learn as with many other things, but the benefits will outweigh the obstacles you will overcome.
I only have a keyboard, is this okay?
It is just fine for beginning piano students to start off on a keyboard. In the beginning, you would not be using all the keys, and children are generally too short to reach the pedals to start. As the student progresses, you would want to select a piano or full size keyboard, preferably with weighted keys. There is a different feel to the keys that you will want to address at a later date.
Don't hesitate on taking piano lessons because of the cost of the instrument. There are ways to get around it and you can always find a used piano at a reasonable cost, or a rental piano at around $30 per month.
If you can't have a piano, don't feel bad about being stuck with a keyboard. Actually, depending upon the type of music you wish to play, an electric keyboard might be more versatile. A keyboard is portable and it can readily integrate well with other music gear.
What language do you speak?
Lessons can be conducted in English, Russian, or Japanese.
About Us
Tatyana Huft - Piano Teacher and Voice Coach
Her teachers were all the way from Saint Petersburg Russia. They were very famous teachers; for example, Shinkarenko and Golovnya (a husband and wife team, unfortunately already passed away) were both very influential. Shinkarenko taught at Anspirantura and Golovnya was his student after conservatory at the highest level one can achieve in the musical world.
They were indeed, extraordinary musicians with some of the top piano techniques one can find! Her first teacher, however, was my father (although her mom, even though she did not play any instrument, had an excellent ear and always sat alongside of her while I was practicing her piano). She started singing and playing piano at the age of five. Her first song that she composed was Air played when she was only 5 all over Russia. her dad had to get me ready to attend a special music school where Golovnya was a director and her husband Shinkarenko (who was her teacher in Anspirantura) was also teaching. She had her specialty with them three times per week and the rest of the days had Solfegio, music literature, and voice lessons a full course to be sure! In order to get into their class she needed to pass an exam where, although there involving fifty people, could only accept ten students. She passed the exam and was accepted I She then went to a music college and the Music Institute, taking evening classes. She also took lessons with world famous musicians like Yakimovich, Basia, James Chestnut and others.
She was trained as a classical pianist and vocalist, however, the love for jazz, pop, rock and R&B was strong enough to capture her attention, at least for a while. In fact, She almost quit piano and voice and was ready to become a physicist; but Jazz and other styles saved her love for piano and voice, rekindling her pursuit of a musical career. Her mom played a major roll as she encouraged me to persevere for the sake of her father and grandmother continuing their legacy in the next generation. As a result, Tatyana strongly believes in a fresh balance of mixing the different styles together; then, even classical music can be absolutely fun and exciting!
Of course: Czerny, Mashkovsky and scales, warm ups are also very important in becoming a great musician. Starting from the Baroque era, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary, there are several breathtaking pieces which will undoubtedly leave you speechless! She believes that it is very important to give students the opportunity to choose the piece and style they wish to play rather than force one upon them. In this way will most likely practice more diligently and feel more in charge of their own musical exploration. Students will avoid the critical moments of rebellion that she underwent as a child.
Music is extremely important to Tatyana and loves to share this priceless gift with others, passing it on to the next generations. What I teach is simply what my grandmother, my dad and my teachers have told me in time past. And, of course, practice will make it perfect that's why I had to mention the story of my childhood to give you an idea what your children really need just to be able to enjoy and have fun with music! This is paramount for me; at the end of my day I can say, "Yes, she or he was smiling today. That means they liked what they picked"after all, I can only suggest and help them shape and frame there fine talents!
Tatyana is really looking forward to meeting more of you and developing a wonderful relationship in the years to come as a teacher, and student, and a friend. : )
