Vintage and Style Guide Purple Dripping into Blue
Protype and Filmation Clean color Separation
I just tied it up.
I didn't vote, the figure looks amazing as is but I wouldn't mind the "drip" but it doesn't bother me either way? The Horde Troopers need a fix however, and it's just the way that head sits too high or the armor is too low?
im more fond of the clear separation
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, King Miro, Melaktha, Crystal-Man, ABC Giants, Stridor, Road Ripper, Land Shark
I love the Dripping on the vintage...always have.
but in this case and at this point, I chose Non dripping.
as correctly noted above, to add the dripping they would hafta resculpt the leg to fit the overall 'Classics' aesthetic.....No thanks!
I love the "color drip" on the vintage figure, but the MOTUC version looks amazing as is! One more vote for even split! And breaking the tie...for now...
Make your voice heard! Remind Mattel that we DO want Snake Mountain!
I'm perfectly fine with the Filmation / 4H style.
Recent.... HATMOTU Trap Jaw
Coming.... Classics Vultak
Wanted.... Classics Masque & Callix?
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I want a little purple in the blue and a little blue in the purp. That way we'll never know who really controls the wang.
I actually agonized over which way to vote.
I am 100% happy with the prototype but I can understand the nostalgic allure of dripping. I am just not sure the factory would do a consistent job with it. Thus I have voted to cast nostalgia aside and stick with the clean line of what has been shown.
I vote vintage. Truth is i don't care either way.
I prefer the way the Horsemen sculpt currently looks.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
doesnt matter for me im just happy to get him
I prefer the look of the dripping-over thing, though it's just 'cause it looks interesting. I'm not gona be bothered if they don't end up doing it.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
I like the Vintage Drip...which would be an excellent band-name, by the way.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

Happy with the proto
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*200X ~ WMD Roboto/Sorceress *Filmation ~ Teela' Na/Hawke *Play-Sets ~ Eternia/Crystal Castle *Vehicles ~ Land Shark/Roton *Beasts ~ Stridor/Dragoon
It's fine to me either way, but I like the clean separation they have done.
Recent.... HATMOTU Trap Jaw
Coming.... Classics Vultak
Wanted.... Classics Masque & Callix?
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I prefer the purple & blue bleeding into each other. But I still like the way the 4H went. Small complaint out of some other figures that have me scratching my head.
Check your local WEATHER here & enter zip.
Either way is fine, but I voted Clean.

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian Shows a Ton of Skin — in Nothing But Fishnets! (UPDATE: She Hits Stripper Pole!)
UPDATE (2/9/14): It turns out that there's a reason why Kim was showing off nothing but fishnets in the pic: She was working a stripper pole. No big deal.
Kim and pals Blac Chyna and Larsa Pippen attended a class at pole-dancing fitness studio Sheila Kelley S Factor in Encino, California, where they snapped the fishnets photo, according to the Daily Mail. Kris Jenner was also there, wearing a black leotard.
Kim even wore clear platform heels to complete the experience. Work it, girl!
Original story (2/8/14):Gone fishing! Kim Kardashian clearly has no problem showing off a little leg — make that, a lot of leg — in a sexy new photo of herself wearing fishnet stockings.
On February 7, Kim posted a pic to Instagram of herself and friends Blac Chyna and Larsa Pippen wearing fishnets. The photo just shows their three sexy sets of legs.
We think it's great that Kim can be a mom and still get sexy with her pals from time to time. And there's no question that all three ladies have enviable stems. If you got it, you might as well flaunt it! Needless to say, Kanye West is one lucky guy.
This isn't the only sexy pic Kim has shared recently. This week, she posted a throwback pic of herself getting her makeup done for a photo shoot while she wears just a bikini bottom, thigh-high boots, and a short leather jacket. That's right: There's no bra or top! Not that we think anyone's complaining.
Are you surprised that Kim is posting such provocative photos these days, considering that she's a mom? Or do you think that it's good that she's so proud of her body?

Marco Cristani, Alessandro Vinciarelli, Cristina Segalin, and Alessandro Perina
One of the main findings of cognitive sciences is that automatic processes of which we are unaware shape, to a significant extent, our perception of the environment. The phenomenon applies not only to the real world, but also to multimedia data we consume every day. Whenever we watch a video, listen to audio recordings or look at pictures, our conscious attention efforts focus on the observable content, but our cognition spontaneously perceives intentions, beliefs, values, attitudes and other constructs that, while being outside of our conscious awareness, still shape our reactions and behavior. So far, multimedia analysis approaches have neglected such a phenomenon to a large extent. This paper argues that taking into account cognitive effects is not only possible, but it can also improve multimedia technologies. As a supporting proof-of-concept, the paper shows that the personality traits (both self-assessed and attributed by others) of 300 Flickr users can be inferred from the images these latter post as "favourite".

The Association of the US Army Family Programs Directorate is pleased to announce SGT Jeremy Barnhart and Family of Fort Carson, CO, as the 2011 recipients of the AUSA Volunteer Family of Year Award. We congratulate SGT Barnhart, his wife Katrina, and their children Logan Ricketts, Kayleigh, Colton and Brayden, on being selected and thank them for their outstanding contributions to their fellow Army families and their community.
SGT Jeremy Barnhart is a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom where he served as a combat medic for 2-12 Infantry, 4th Infantry Division (4ID). He is a Purple Heart recipient due to severe wounds suffered in Baghdad, Iraq. Since his injury and subsequent return to Colorado Springs, SGT Barnhart has not only continued his volunteer activities but has actually increased them.. He accepted the responsibilities as Noncommissioned Officer in Charge and musical director of Fort Carson's Harmony in Motion, a volunteer group that performs and sings throughout Colorado. He contributes time to the local Tragedy Assistance Program (TAPS) and also spends numerous hours mentoring young people about life and career choices, as they are transitioning from juvenile correctional facilities. SGT Barnhart dedicates his time to children in the community by serving as a youth soccer coach and a volunteer Cub master and Den Leader for the Cub Scouts. He supports numerous additional programs and events include coordinating "Make a Difference Day", volunteering at National Night Out, and participating with Thanksgiving Pumpkin and Toy give –a-way programs. SGT Barnhart as received numerous certificates of appreciation and recognition, and also been awarded the Exemplary Volunteer Service Award and the Fort Columbine Award of Excellence for his dedication to Soldiers and their families,
Mrs. Katrina Barnhart has positively impacted the lives of Soldiers and their families as well. During multiple deployments, she was the key factor in re-activating the dormant Enlisted Spouses Charitable Organization (ESCO). Her hard work resulted in a significant increase in the ESCO membership which then became a thriving organization that assists Soldiers, families and the local community. Her leadership has been instrumental in successfully promoting Parent to Parent (P2P) programs to provide emotional and informational support to families with children who have special needs, at Fort Carson, Colorado and across the country. When the 4ID reflagged from Fort Hood to Fort Carson, Katrina began the initiative to provide coats to Soldiers and families to help them make the transition from warm Fort Hood to much colder Colorado with greater ease. She is a role model for Army Spouses and her contagious volunteer spirit coupled with her organizational skills have proven be a great asset to the Army family and her local community.
Katrina has also been involved with several other programs and organizations such as the Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) conference, and serving as Advisory Councilmember for her local Commissary/ Exchange. She has also served as Deputy Mayor for Fort Carson, and as a volunteer for Operation Homefront. As recognition for her service to Soldiers and families Katrina has received the Fort Carson Volunteer of the Quarter award, the Fort Carson Columbine Award, Exemplary Volunteer Service Award, and Fort Carson Volunteer of the Year Award.
All four of the Barnhart children are involved in numerous activities, whether it involves the military, community, or a school. Logan Ricketts, a junior at Fountain-Fort Carson High School teaches neighborhood children baseball and skateboarding skills in his free time. Kayleigh Barnhart, a sixth grader at Carson Middle School, has worked with kindergarteners during their reading time for three years, as well as coordinating a fundraiser for Pennies for Patients and Harvest of Love's food drives. Colton Barnhart, a fifth grader at Abrams Elementary School, has also volunteered for the Harvest of Love food drive. The youngest Barnhart, Brayden is a first grader at Abrams Elementary School, and already enjoys helping others and is learning at a young age to follow in his parents' and older siblings footsteps to assist others.
The Barnhart Family has demonstrated their strong devotion to serving their military and civilian communities through a number of volunteer programs and activities. They have confirmed their continuing commitment, care and concern through their outreach, efforts and other activities which have positively impacted so many others.. As individuals and as a family, the Barnhart's show a generosity of spirit and dedication which makes them model representatives for our Army volunteer community. SGT Jeremy Barnhart, Katrina Barnhart, and their children Logan Ricketts, Kayleigh, Colton, and Brayden are truly deserving of the title of AUSA Volunteer Family of the Year.

European Consumer Confidence Plunges; Misses By Most In 30 Months
Despite record low yields on sovereign bonds, record high stock prices, and a political elite proclaiming it's all shits and giggles from here... it seems record unemployment, record suicide rates, record bad loans, and record low credit creation were finally enough to trump the 'wealth effect' exuberance that European consumer confidence has envisaged in recent months. This is the biggest drop in confidence in 18 months and the biggest miss since Aug 2011. This is a 3 sigma miss from expectations and below all 25 "economist" guesses. How's the weather in Europe?

OD'ed on FedRes juice.
Just waiting on the heart failure.
WTF? The trend has been going up for a year? What country in Europe hasn't gotten worse over the last year?
You're reading the chart the wrong way. Compared to Dec 2012 confidence is positively surging! In 2013 overall confidence continued to grow. I would tie this latest dip to the number of Olympic medals garnered by EU countries. Thus endeth this tutorial on how to read charts - favored by bankers everywhere.
My confidence drops too when I am out of beer...
Only thing worse than being out of beer is a wife who bitches at you that you drink too much beer.
Catch 22: She bitches about your beer consumption, which causes you to need more beer.
Wrong Flacon - the only thing worse is to have lost a wife that used to bitch about you drinking too much, which I did last week.
She put up with me for 44 years, and I was lucky guy.
I am now really drinking too much.
Chin up bro, there's plenty of women who are looking for a guy with gumption.
Wish Snowden had documents to show how they rig the stock market - it's quite clear for anyone looking that the whole financial system is completely rigged.
"Wish Snowden had documents to show how they rig the stock market"
Apparently rigged markets aren't considered a security risk to them.
However, Toothpaste bombs are!
Who in the fuck is buying this shit market? I must be taking crazy pills!
Skynet knows what is best, just algos selling to algos.
Believe it or not, some companies still make profits ..
all time highs!
No worries: the coming hot war in eastern europe will drive up confidence.
Meanwhile we have had a 20 point reversal to the upside since the overnight and now the market is going straight up.
New highs all around; should have bought the dip.
Some people seem to have forgotten that the Fed and all 3 branches of Gov. have the market's back.
What does KKR's Henry McVey see that everyone else doesn't?
Since you asked, the current weather / climate is very depressing and the economic climate even more so.

I cannot find the proper thread if there is one for this, so first off sorry.
Ok, here is my issue.
I have a multi site install with sub directories (main use is for a support ticket site) when a client signs up, they activate, and the activation brings them to the main site's login (error #1) then if they login they go to the Dashboard of the Main site (error #2)
Plus if you click on Register on the support site it prompts you to sign up at the Main site, i think this is causing the issues.
How should I go about handling this?

As I was going through my Akismet spam filter today reviewing the 87 comment spam I got during the prior ~24 hours to ensure I didn't delete any legitimate comments, it occurred to me that maybe there is a simple solution to comment spam.
What if blog apps could simply mark a hyperlink with?:
The simple idea is that rather than delete spams, blogs could start maintaining a special page of links to comment spammer's websites using rel="spam" on the "A" element. Basically this would be PageRank in reverse. The search engines would then apply negative weighting to anything marked spam and give the spammers the exact opposite of what they were pursuing when they unethically tried to game the system!\.
For example, Google could give negative PageRank for a spam link compared to positive PageRank for a non-spam link. Google could also weight the relevency of the link text negatively vs. the positive value it would give a non-spam link. This would have the affect of distributing the watch-dogging of spammers out onto the web without requiring any new infrastructure, and it would create a clear disincentive for comment spammers instead of the lack of disincentive from "nofollow."
Are there problems with this I'm not foreseeing? Probably. I already know that people would try to game the system for negative purposes, and that's to be expected. Still, I think that for the most part anyone simply using it to field a grudge or in as attempt to harm a competitor would be doing it by definition on such a small scale that it would have no effective. Given that the many comment spammers automate, they can end up with huge numbers of comment spam links. If the search engines merely weighted a spam link as 1/10th the negative value of a positive link, it would certainly still be effective.
Of course the hard-core Linux faithful would immediately spam-link to Microsoft.com just to spite them! But I really don't (currently) see how that couldn't be detected and managed via policies and algorithms. For example, if a company has a large number positive links it could be exempt from the effects of spam links. And I'm sure automated methods or methods using collective intelligence could emerge to resolve these problems the vast majority of time. The rest could be handled via policy; get caught spam-linking someone inappropriately and get your domain pulled from the index!
What's more, it would give bloggers a sense of purpose when they review their spam filters instead of them feeling like the time spent was just a waste. I know that if my efforts to detect comment spammers could get them lower PageRank, I'd feel good about monitoring my comments for spam as I would be doing a service for the public good. And I'm sure most other bloggers would feel the same.
Now I know that Microformats.org has the similiar proposal VoteLinks, but that is about registering opinion as opposed to calling out gamers of the system. VoteLinks is also much broader than what I'm suggesting. If we keep the focus really narrow — shine a spolight on spam so that the search engines can erradicate it — then I'm pretty sure it would be a success.
What do you think? Good idea? Filled with holes I've not considered? I look forward to your feedback.

Whilst they are lucky to have national-level backing, Gresini and Aspar are doing their utmost to keep privateer entries across all classes in difficult financial times. I think they (and the many other regular private teams) should be commended for this.
Also, it's a bit tight (although understandable in a way) of Honda not to give Bautista a factory bike when Simoncelli was going to get one. Although a new class means there won't be too much difference, just giving him a rev-limited bike is a bit sh1tty.

Law School Academics
Sixth Annual Justice Anthony Kennedy Lecture Series
Date: 6:30pm PDT September 23, 2014 Location: legal research center
legal research center
Dean Jennifer Johnson of Lewis & Clark Law School cordially invites you to attend the
Sixth Annual Justice Anthony Kennedy Lecture Series
featuring Thomas C. Goldstein, Partner at Goldstein & Russell, P.C.
Reflections of a Supreme Court Practitioner
About Thomas C. Goldstein
Thomas C. Goldstein is an appellate advocate, best known as one of the nation's most experienced Supreme Court practitioners. He has served as counsel to the petitioner or respondent in roughly 10% of all of the Court's merits cases for the past 15 years (approximately 100 in total), personally arguing 31.
Perhaps more than any other advocate in practice, Tom represents the complete spectrum of litigants before the Court; his work is not associated with any particular perspective or ideology. For example, as arguing counsel, Tom has prevailed on behalf of corporate defendants (twice), a corporate plaintiff, individual plaintiffs (twice), an individual defendant, an immigrant, a bankruptcy debtor, a capital defendant, criminal defendants (three times), employees, persons with disabilities, a class action objector, and a local government.
Tom's representations span virtually all of federal law. For example, as arguing counsel, he has prevailed in cases involving age discrimination, arbitration, bankruptcy, class actions, disability law, free speech (three times), habeas corpus (three times), immigration, labor law, privacy, securities law, and trademark law.
Tom also serves as counsel in particularly significant cases in the courts of appeals. For example, he presently serves as lead counsel for most of the nation's principal retailers in a Second Circuit appeal of the second-largest class action settlement in history; for a major cellphone manufacturer in a Seventh Circuit appeal that will determine the application of the federal antitrust laws to worldwide cartels; and a major food producer in a D.C. Circuit appeal of an FTC ruling setting standards for health claims in food advertising.
In addition to practicing law, Tom has taught Supreme Court Litigation at Harvard Law School since 2004, and previously taught the same subject at Stanford Law School for nearly a decade. Tom is also the co-founder and publisher of SCOTUSblog – a web-site devoted to comprehensive coverage of the Court – which is the only weblog ever to receive the Peabody Award.
Tom has received a variety of recognitions for his practice before the Supreme Court and for his appellate advocacy generally. For example, in 2010, the National Law Journal named him one of the nation's 40 most influential lawyers of the decade. The same publication included him in both of its most recent lists (2006 and 2013) of the nation's 100 most influential attorneys. Legal Times named him one of the "90 Greatest Washington Lawyers of the Last 30 Years." GQ named him one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, D.C.
Tom is involved in a variety of professional organizations. Among other things, he is a member of the American Law Institute and an elected Fellow of the Academy of Appellate Lawyers.
Tom previously practiced at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, where for a time he served as the principal co-chair of the firmwide litigation practice. Early in his career he was an associate at both Boies Schiller and Jones Day Reavis & Pogue. He clerked for Judge Patricia Wald of the D.C. Circuit.
About the Justice Kennedy Lecture series
The lecture series, now in its sixth year, is designed to promote discussion of cutting-edge issues affecting the U.S. Supreme Court and the Constitution. The program was established with the approval of Justice Anthony Kennedy when he visited the law school in the fall of 2008. The Kennedy Lecture serves as the annual Lewis & Clark commemoration of Constitution Day.

When it comes to social media tools, I consider myself to be somewhat of an early adopter. I've been on Facebook and Twitter since their early days. However, I never really felt much like and early adopter until Pinterest came along. For those who aren't aware, Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board that allows users to bookmark, organize, and share photos of things that interest you. It is one of the fastest growing social networking sites on the web and its popularity has been going gangbusters for the last several months.
I'm a big reader of DIY, home décor, and food blogs and saw a lot of the bloggers I regularly read talking about Pinterest. I wasn't exactly sure what it was or how it worked at first. To be honest, I thought it was a tool that was specifically for bloggers. That is until I received my Pinterest invitation from a friend a year ago. I'm a list maker and organizer, so I was instantly obsessed with being able to pin ideas for recipes, outfits, room designs, quotes, and everything else I love. I literally spent hours pinning.
While I've been pinning photos of hairstyles, clothes, and home décor for over a year, within the last six months the interest in Pinterest (get it?) has just exploded. In fact, Compete.com reported that unique visitors to Pinterest increased by 329 percent between September and December 2011. Now brands are joining the popular social networking site to leverage its skyrocketing popularity and ability to drive traffic and awareness of their products. So how can your brand create a successful business presence on Pinterest? Here are a few tips from Social Media Examiner:
- How will your brand use Pinterest? Pinterest may not be a good fit for all brands. If your brand develops unique products or has beautiful imagery, it's likely a good fit.
- Let your customers know you're on Pinterest. Add a Pinterest button to your webpage and encourage your customers to follow your boards and pin your products.
- Follow proper Pinterest etiquette. Pinterest etiquette encourages users to avoid self-promotion, and be sure to credit sources. Pinterest is different from other social networking sites, so marketers need to take note.
- Learn from others. Mashable shares a list of terrific examples from brands like West Elm, Whole Foods, and ModCloth that have successfully used Pinterest to grow their brands and engage with customers.
- Encourage engagement. Use your pins and boards as an opportunity to start conversations with your customers and build relationships.
If your organization is interested in using Pinterest to engage with customers and promote your business, check out this recent post from Social Media Examiner, which shares a long list of tips and case studies from emerging media experts.
One response to "Pinterest Gains Interest from Marketers"
Oh my gosh. I love Pinterest. When I first started using it, I couldn't get my head around it's purpose. But then as I started to see some of the amazing ideas my friends were finding on Pinterest, it quickly became addictive! What a great tool for brands that are able to share visual assets as a way to create word-of-mouth.

Are you looking to get a rhinoplasty or a nose job performed on yourself any time soon? If so, you have come to the right place. Our goal is to help you learn as much as you can about the subject whether your aim is the aforementioned or perhaps you simply wish to broaden your knowledge on the subject.
One of the most common questions that people often have when it comes to a rhinoplasty is whether or not the surgical procedure will be covered by their health insurance provider. It is important to understand that in some cases, a rhinoplasty is essential to be performed on an individual in order to help correct or remedy a breathing problem that they may be experiencing. In this case, an airway is typically obstructed and thus cosmetic changes are essential in order to help a person breathe with more comfort and ease. In this type of scenario, a rhinoplasty surgical procedure is more often than not covered by a health insurance provider.
However, if the nose job is going to be performed solely for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes, this may not be the case. In any case, it is best to consult with your health insurance provider to provide you with more detailed information about the matter.
What are some other common considerations that one needs to bear in mind prior to deciding whether they ought to get a nose job or not? Unfortunately, there are some factors that may disqualify an individual from receiving one. However, let us focus on what features you need to possess in order to be considered a good candidate for a nose job. First of all, unless you have figured in an accident or a similar situation or you are experiencing breathing problems due to your nasal structure, it is ideal that the growth of your facial features be complete by the time you decide to have the cosmetic procedure performed. It is also helpful to be in good physical health. If you smoke, now is a good time to consider kicking the habit.
Last but not least, a positive attitude and realistic goals will both certainly be very helpful as you go about taking the next step in order to improve your physical appearance. No matter what, it is important not to make a decision in haste as it is a very weighty one and an expensive one as well.

This is a Hipmunk post from Jodi Ettenberg of Legal Nomads
Not too long ago, I posted about a murmuration of starlings in flight over Istanbul. The sight of it stopped me in my tracks nightly as clouds of birds circled their way around the city.
Here's another version of the remarkable phenomenon over Rome, with a peregrine falcon hunting for its dinner:
A friend sent me this footage today, shot by John Downer Productions and BBC as part of their EarthFlight series. What blew me away was how close the camera got to these birds. According to the Earthflight website:
To create its bird's-eye view of the world Earthflight uses a host of extraordinary filming techniques including filming "imprinted" flocks from microlites, wild flocks filmed from model gliders and silent drones, full-sized helicopter with stabilised mounts and cameras on the backs of trained birds. Slow-motion techniques also reveal extraordinary detail such as swallows plucking feathers from the air.
Looking forward to the rest of these videos in the series. Beautiful stuff.

The Deputy Assistant has died for an analogy. Some will recall four years ago his boss, the Minister of Health and Family Welfare, boldly revived the discredited effort to eradicate polio from the provinces west and south of the capital—bold because several children had been paralyzed by the vaccine given to protect them. Those precious souls with their bent frames were the statistical necessity of a cure for the world, but they were pathetic, and no matter what the Deputy Assistant said, their parents were impossible to answer. For several seasons after that, whole provinces of five-year-olds had closed their mouths against the disreputable sugar cube. An ambivalent man might have been daunted; instead, the Minister wept for an audience at the new sanitation plant, but warned that an excess of love for the stricken few unfortunates would cripple thousands of children. His Deputy was moved as well but understood the numbers better. Only one child would be stricken for every three million successfully dosed. "It is as if," he told the Minister, and the comment has cost him his life, "to banish the scourge to oblivion, you sacrificed your three sons." The details of how he fulfilled his accidental prophecy are appalling, and there is evidence he tried to sabotage it, but the clarity of the plan is as strict as a gem. In the capital today, the Deputy Assistant has eaten a phosphine tablet and died. The job is two-thirds done now, new cases are rare, and the Minister's third son travels with him to the regions of greatest concern, where skepticism of the vaccine might nullify the nation's triumph over disease. The boy stands straight and tall alongside his brothers in their chairs, and the locals decide for themselves the extent of the Minister's nerve.

Warning: This is a semi-rant.
Rode past a bike shop this afternoon (will not mention name) and decided to stop in to see if they had something: a dropped bar for track, in steel in 42cm. After a brief look around, the guy comes out and says some mumbo-jumbo, recommends another close by shop and hits me with this phrase: "...that shop will have little boutique items like that."
Question from me: When is a steel track bar a boutique item?

The football tactics "tiki-taka" is a kind of strategy in which numerous short passes are completed by the team, a great space of the terrain is being covered and the ball possession is very high. La liga is known to be the mother place of this strategy. We can clearly see that FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team apply this tactics and have mastered it to perfection. The father of this play style in football is considered to be Johan Cruyff, who applied it mainly as a coach of Barcelona.
The usage of some great knowledge in the field of geometry by coaches like Luis Aragonés, Louis van Gaal, Frank Rijkaard, Vicente del Bosque and Josep Guardiola, helped the development of this remarkable football play style. This is a pure evidence that the application of mathematics in football can have great results. Nowadays, the FC Barcelona`s and the Spanish national team`s trophies are a proof of the efficiency of the "tiki-taka". Undoubtedly, watching such football is overwhelming for the audience. Of course, there are some other teams that apply the tiki-taka. Villarreal CF also manages this tactics, mainly under the coaching of Manuel Pellegrini and Juan Carlos Garrido.
Above all the "tiki-taka" is a systems approach to football founded upon team unity and a comprehensive understanding in the geometry of space on a football field. The football players try to form triangles all around the pitch and with a lot of passes to maintain the ball possession. Then it is quite difficult for the opponent to obtain the ball and organize their game.
The football coach Jed C.Davies, who is also author of "the tiki-taka handbook", thinks that that tiki-taka football is "among other things, a conceptual revolution based on the idea that the size of any football field is flexible and can be altered by the team playing on it. In possession, the formation should intend on creating space and therefore making the pitch as big as possible". Pep Guardiola is famous with his saying that "You win the ball back when there are thirty metres to their goal not eighty."
Nevertheless, this play style it often attacked by critics. Jose Mourinho and some other football specialists, criticized the Spanish national football team for using sterile techniques, such as having no strikers and only midfielders at Euro 2012. The main statement by the critics was that such a play style is quite unpleasant to watch and results in less scored goals. However, all the critics were silenced after the Euro 2012 final, when La Furia Roja won with the astonishing 4:0 over Italy.
The application of the laws of mathematics, not only in football, but in all aspects of our lives brings great advantages. The forebet team tries to apply the math and the rules of the mathematical statistics in forming football predictions in order to ease our visitor in the creation of smart football predictions.
You can enjoy the tiki-taka here:

"It's the same as the case of Terol - he wastes one year"
Not even close to the same case. Nico Terol spent 8 years in 125cc!, finally winning the WC at 23.
Vinales is still just 17, and has already proven himself a bigger standout in a MUCH shorter time than Terol. He has plenty of time, and without the mistakes he will probably be WC next year. IMO, Terol is more a case of a good rider, on the best bike, eventually winning due to years and years of experience compared to his less experienced rivals. Especially after basically all the riders that really took it to him in 2010 moved to Moto2 in 2011. I'm not say Terol isn't a great rider, but I'm not surprised he hasn't shone in Moto2. It took him a good 5-6 years to even vaguely stand out in 125's.

New York, 15 May 2013
The Secretary-General met on Wednesday afternoon with British Prime Minister David Cameron, and he thanked the Prime Minister for his leadership and his support to the United Nations on several issues, including Somalia, Mali, Syrian refugees, the impressive level of UK development assistance, and the Global Fund.
They exchanged views on the best means of getting the warring parties in Syria to come to the proposed international conference with serious delegations and a real willingness to make compromises, especially on the issue of a transition. Encouragement on both sides from many international players would be essential in this regard. They also underlined the importance of United Nations investigations on allegations of the use of chemical weapons.
The Secretary-General also stressed the importance of using the coming period as an opportunity to make progress on the Cyprus issue.

Low-carb can lead to Stealth Babies...
Saturday, August 04, 2012
Sooo...looks like I figured out why I suddenly started eating every carby thing that crossed my path at the begining of May. Looks like carbs were my baby cravings.
The hubby and I had been trying for years with no results. We always figured if it was going to happen, it would without going through extreme measures. But we probably finally got to the point that we weren't expecting it to ever happen.
I went on low-carb mainly to try to bring down my weight and lower my chances of becoming a type II diabetic. It worked better than I expected. Not only did I lose far more weight than I had been able to previously, but my other numbers were falling in line. Blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol numbers all fell into normal (or even low normal) ranges. I was feeling so much better and everything.
So...obviously my body was feeling up to snuff because after about 4 months of low-carbing, it decided it was ready to maintain a pregnancy. At least now I know why I had the sudden change in eating habits.
I'm no longer craving the way I was before, but I'm likely going to keep eating a bit higher carb level for now. At least until after the baby is born. Nothing too extreme, maybe aim for having one relatively carby meal a day...but won't beat myself up if something small sneaks in here and there for now. I'm currently off of two out of three blood pressure meds; a side effect of pregnancy. Nice news, but I'll need to keep a close eye on my bp in case it decides to go back up or my body needs more than the one med. Since I know eating a ton of carbs tends to raise my bp, it's good motivation not to go overboard.
Interesting times ahead!

LOL...thanks everyone.
Maybe if I had been craving something totally off the wall, I might've suspected sooner. But it just seemed like I suddenly couldn't be bothered with ordering a salad to replace the fries...or take the buns off...or get up and cook breakfast like I had been so instead I'd grab cereal or pop in a toaster struddel. So when I got all gassy and bloated feeling, I assumed it was from the carbs since I had been chronically suffering from those symptoms for years until I changed to low-carb.
No morning sickness...at least nothing I noticed.
So yeah...hubby finds me all emotional in a back room counting change for a change jar weepy and muttering over some dream. At that he's like "no...time to go get a test".

Congratulations! I have heard that low-carb has helped improved fertility in many women. I'm trying to be careful since I'm not quite ready! ;)

Congratulations! There are 2 women on the Living Low Carb team who just had their healthy bundles of joy, and they stayed pretty low carb for the whole pregnancy. Come on by and post in the forum and I'm sure they can give you great advice!
Poor SUZANNEYEA had HORRIBLE carb cravings and morning sickness for months. She's typically zero carb, and had to add in a few carby things each day because her usual diet was so unappealing! ~STAYFIT is typically more moderate carbwise, but still had to fight the cravings as well. Both of them returned to pre-pregnancy weight within weeks.
Best of luck!

That was one of the symptoms of pregnancy for me, too. We didn't have testing kits back then, and you couldn't even make an appt with a doc until you had missed two periods. Nausea and/or cravings were the only sign. Congrats!!

For those who are self aware and want to create a better world through what they perceive to be "peaceful" methods such as silent protests, singing songs, and writing strongly worded letters to elected officials, I say what good has that done so far? I am for peace and non-violence and in my view, breaking an object is not violence. Things are just things. Some say that by breaking into stores they are ruining the lives of the store owners, but from what I see they are targeting the larger stores and are not hurting human life.
I honestly sympathize. We can go on about principles, but the fact of the matter is that smashing the windows at Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan/Chase, or shoplifting from Walmart, is a far cry from smashing the windows of the local independent bookstore or shoplifting from the family-owned corner store. Institutions like big banks and major retail stores can simply eat the loss. They have way more than enough resources to do so, and no one is going to be directly hit by the cost; this is not the case for local independent stores who are probably at the behest of bigger chains and banks for things such as supplies, loans and electronic transactions.
Really, I think that this whole opposition to smashing up the windows of giant chain stores or major banks, as though it is equal to robbing directly from the people who work there, is just a manifestation of "corporations are people too". It erases the disparity between independent businesses and corporate institutions, and indeed helps us to venerate the corporate institutions by treating them as equal to the mom-and-pop store that's been around for the past 30 years (if it hasn't gone out of business thanks to the new Walmart Supercentre).
In fact, it reminds me of how, say, rocket attacks from Gaza are treated as equal to the systematic oppression imposed on Palestinians by the Israeli government. The disparity is erased, even though it's readily visible if you just go to Google Earth and look at the Gaza Strip.
(I think there's more but I seem to have run out of words. but suffice to say there's massive erasing going on and I really think it needs to stop.)
edit: punching up / punching down. shoplifting from Walmart or smashing the windows at JPMorgan/Chase is punching up, way the fuck up.
edit 2 (hopefully my last of the night): really, I think we've fetishized non-violence, to the point where anything resembling violence -- even if it's committed against inanimate objects, in ways that will explicitly not hurt real people -- is automatically condemned. which I am beginning to not like very much. yes you can go on about how it'll be counterproductive because the media will latch onto it, but, well...that's just a part of manufacturing consent; the media isn't exactly friendly to the people who fetishize nonviolence in the first place because they're still bringing up the problems with our colonial-capitalist system and we can't have those being taken seriously. it might result in power being taken away from rich colonial-capitalists, and we can't have that.

Pension, budget top issues in Oceanside race
Five candidates - including two incumbents - are running for two council seats
Lowery said the city's budget problems is a major issue, and he would recommend that future cuts be made by emphasizing how they would effect the community, not just their dollar amounts. He argues against further cuts to police and fire.
"Pension reform is part of the mix, but it's not all of the mix," said Martin, a former mayor of Birmingham, Mich. "It's been turned into this taxpayer versus city employee battle, and they (Kern and Felien) keep bashing these employees like they are bad people."
Martin said he sees the city's sewer situation and the city's reliance on consultants as major issues. Both have been raised at council meetings, especially that of the city's aging sewer infrastructure. The council last month voted to increase sewer rates to pay for improvements. City officials admitted that proactive sewer replacement has not been a priority in recent years.
"We can get fined thousands for a sewer leak," Martin said.
Pinnavaia, a self-employed gemologist, sought to be on the ballot, but failed to gather enough signatures of registered voters. As a write-in candidate, he said he stands for ending the standoff within City Hall between elected officials and the public safety unions, as well as creating tax-free enterprise zones to boost business development.

Bristol traders set up grocery delivery service
A group of independent traders on Bristol's Gloucester Road has set up its own online grocery service. It is one of the first of its kind outside London.
Nearly all online grocery shopping in the UK is with big supermarket chains. Many of these stores actually lose money on the service as it costs so much to pick and deliver the goods. So what are the chances for this new, independent website? Robert Murphy reports.
A little bit of loving history for Bristol couple
The Bristol couple who found romance at a bus stop, today had it given to them.
Aly and Michala Hussein met at the bus stop on Gloucester Road in Bristol and went on to marry. Now the bus stop is being modernised, the council have donated the old sign and seat to the couple.
Deputy Mayor presents couple with bus stop sign
Councillor Geoff Gollop presented Aly Hussein and his wife, Michala, with a sign from the bus stop where the couple first met and fell in love.
The bus stop in Bristol is being dismantled and replaced.
Ali runs a business next to stop on Gloucester Road and met Michala when she used to wait for a bus there every day after work.

Late night shopping on Bristol's Gloucester Road
The Mayor of Bristol is supporting independent shops on the Gloucester Road this evening. George Ferguson will be welcoming late night shoppers with free mince pies, mulled wine and oysters. More than 50 independent shops will be staying open until 8pm for the next two Thursdays.

Hopefully, him and Maggitt will split time to get as much pressure as possible.
Hopefully we don't need Lamaak on Saturday and he can get the required rest needed to go against Nebraska.
What are they calling the injury anyways???
Hopefully Ben can get back out there and we can work Rashawn back into the flow of things.

Video of a 4-year-old Hong Kong boy is making the rounds on the Internet. Watch it for just a few seconds and you'll understand why: He's clearly a musical prodigy. He plays piano like he was performing at Carnegie Hall; at age 4, he hasn't had all that much time to practice.
The adage "practice makes perfect," might inspire people to focus on getting better at a given sport or task, but some research suggests there's more to the equation.
A recent paper, along with other experiments, shows that a person's innate abilities may matter just as much. In other words, some people have qualities that, when combined with practice, make them "naturals."
The paper's authors suggest the idea contrasts with some popular writers' tendencies to de-emphasize individual qualities in determining success.
Also called "working memory capacity," the ability to use knowledge and adapt to new or distracting situations may separate the really good from the best. Another study suggests that people with higher working memory capacity could process information more quickly.
In the most recent setup, the research team looked at 57 piano players with varying levels of practice experience. Some had 260 hours of deliberate practice, while others clocked in up to 31,000 hours.
Participants were asked to complete tasks that required them to play musical pieces on sight with no prep-time. Of course, people who practiced more did better. But those who did the best also had higher working memory capacities, the authors report.
The team didn't provide too many details about the tasks or how memory capacity was measured, so it's unclear whether other factors could have accounted for the results. It's also important to realize the paper doesn't imply that a person needs a high working memory capacity to be successful. Rather, it points out that this type of memory plays more of a role than we think.
The findings may answer why chess geniuses have an edge over their competitors, despite both individuals having similar knowledge and experience levels.

Union's Trent Cowan and Columbia River's Remick Kawawaki were the top scholarship winners honored during a Sunday reception recognizing high school seniors who played football in Southwest Washington.
The Clark County Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame awarded college scholarships to seven graduating seniors during the event at Hudson's Bay High School.
Cowan and Kawawaki each received a $3,500 college scholarship. Second-place scholarships of $2,500 went to Jabari Marshall of Skyview and Josh McNeal of La Center. Zachary Lacey of Woodland received the $1,500 third-place scholarship for linemen. Kevin Haynes of Battle Ground and Clayton Frank of Columbia River shared the third-place honor for backs, receiving $750 apiece.
The scholarship winners were selected by a committee from a group of 31 players nominated by their high school football coaches. Selections were based on accomplishments in football (40 percent), academics (40 percent) and extracurricular and community involvement (20 percent).
This is the 21st year that the Clark County chapter of the NFF has awarded scholarships. The total has surpassed $300,000.
Two coaches also were recognized.
Columbia River football coach John O'Rourke was honored for outstanding contributions to amateur football.
Woodland coach Mark Greenleaf was the second recipient of the Gary Boggs Award. The award, which recognizes a head coach for his ability to motivate and develop players on and off the field, was established in 2012 in memory of Boggs. The football coach at Fort Vancouver for 34 years, retiring in 2001, Boggs died in 2011.
The other nominees recognized during the event were: Jack Beall and Connor Maloney of Camas, Ben Childs and Will Sauter of White Salmon, Anthony Thomas of Evergreen, Saul Santacruz and Taylor VanHeck of Fort Vancouver, Jacob Gardiner of Heritage, Noah Schultz-Rathbun and Jesse Tonkinson of Hockinson, Raymond Figuracion and Romel Taruc-Sarchi of Hudson's Bay, Russell Culverwell and Bennett Muasau of Mountain View, Preston Brooks and Nick Gawley of Prairie, John White and Ian Williams of Ridgefield, Erik Powell of Seton Catholic, Rutger Bialkowsky and Jacob Schneider of Stevenson, Willie Lopez of Skyview; Matt Reeves of Union, and Eric Birnel of Woodland.
Former NFL All-Pro running back Curt Warner, a Clark County resident, spoke at the event.

Brentwood News
BRENTWOOD—SoulCycle, the acclaimed indoor cycling shop from New York, is
coming to Brentwood in the near future.
The new shop, located at 11640 San Vicente Boulevard, is scheduled to open
this fall. This shop comes in
addition to the business's older location in West Hollywood.
For those not familiar with it, SoulCycle is the new cycling work out that provides a full body workout, combining coaching and high-energy music. Unlike many cycling classes, SoulCycle works riders' core and uses hand
weights to tone upper bodies in addition to burning calories, building
endurance, and strengthening legs.
Additionally, SoulCycle cyclists ride by candlelight creating a place
where riders can come to clear their minds. As with any new workout, newcomers may ask "is this right
for me? Do I have the fitness level to take a SoulCycle Class?" According to SoulCycle, "one of the best
things about indoor cycling is that it can be adapted to any fitness level.
With the ability to adjust the resistance level on the bike, one can gauge the
level of the workout to suit each rider's abilities. With every class comes a
new level of confidence and strength."
Cycling is seen as a popular form of exercise. It provides the cardio benefits of running without the impact that can lead to a sore back and sore knees.
SoulCycle offers several different classes. The first is its original
SoulCycle, a 45-minute full-body
cycling workout that incorporates weights and core exercises designed to burn
fat and increase strength. SoulCycle
also offers the 60-minute full body endurance ride, SoulBands (which
incorporates resistance bands into cycling) and free community rides.
Visit SoulCycle's website for a complete schedule of classes at soul-cycle.com/soul-west/.

Sports Scouts Turn to Elementary Schooltoddler-times
Somewhere in America is a sixth grader who will be the next Kobe Bryant or Peyton Manning. The scouts already know who he is.
After decades of college and major league talent spotters showing up at high school games to decide who their teams should be watching and signging, their turning their sights even lower. Elementary school, it seems, is the place to find the future stars.
Is anyone surprised? After all, Bryant was tracked out of high school and signed directly to an NBA deal. Now he's got a handful of World Championship rings and the Los Angeles Lakers have made millions selling his jerseys and bringing in fans to watch him play. He was a known quanitity.
And now they want to know who's next, who can these mega franchises bring up from the bottom and turn into gold? They're getting help from the likes of JuniorRank.com which has begun holding football training camps around the country where they not only teach kids as young as eleven but rank their abilities and record those rankings for posterity, for tracking purposes. At hoopscooponline.com, they keep track of THE sixth grade basketball player to watch.
So we knew it was coming, but does that make it OK? Does a sixth grader who knows he's got talent have the same pressure as a sixth grader who knows he's got talent AND he's being watched? I doubt it. Because for every thousands of kids who wants to grow up to be the next Bryant or Manning, it's statistically impossible every one will make it. So kids focus on life as a whole.
Tell them they've been ranked and there's someone keeping an eye on them, and that goes away. In their immature minds, that's as good as a promise that today it's recess, tomorrow it's the NFL. Now they HAVE TO be good because to not make it is to fail.
Can we give them just a few more years of playing HORSE and backyard tackle because they love to do it? Please?

In the run up to SXSW 2014, we published a series of interviews with Filmmakers participating in the program. Absent from that list were our competition filmmakers, but we're thrilled to be able to bring some of those to you now the dust has settled.
We begin with our conversation with Print the Legend filmmakers, Luis Lopez and Clay Tweel. Their film picked up a Special Jury Recognition for Editing & Storytelling at SXSW 2014. It will also be streamed exclusively by Netflix later this year, thanks to their recent acquisition of the film.
Without further ado...
Print the Legend
Tell us a little about your film.
Print the Legend is a time capsule of the birth of the desktop 3D printing market, while also examining the ethical and logistical challenges of growing a business. The American dream is still alive, but at what personal cost to those who pursue it.
Why did you start making films?
Movies are a passion for both of us. Our favorite kind of movies are character driven narratives, and the challenge of bringing stories like that to the screen in a doc format is always rewarding and gratifying.
Had you been to SXSW before this year's festival?
Yes. Pro Tip - when you are in Texas… ALWAYS. ORDER. BRISKET.
Tell us a random fact (or two!) that would help people get a better idea of who you are.
Luis and Clay have been fired from 2 jobs together and have a healthy distaste for authority.
Find out more about Print the Legend at the official website.

Yuvraj Singh would be the cynosure of all eyes when he captains India A, a team on a roll after the cleansweep against New Zealand A, in an ODI series against the West Indies A starting here tomorrow. Also read: Big guns named in India 'A' team against West Indies 'A'
The glory of thrashing New Zealand A 3-0 was achieved under the captaincy of Unmukt Chand, who perfectly marshalled his team to victory. Also read: I am really confident of making a comeback: Yuvraj Singh
All eyes, however, will be trained on how Yuvraj, who has been out of favour in the recent times, handles the team as a captain against the West Indians.

Yuvraj is more often seen as a brutal force in limited overs cricket than in Tests with his ability to hit the ball clean and long. Also read: Injured Praveen Kumar, Irfan Pathan ruled of India A series against West Indies
Yuvraj aside, India A has its share of stars. Unmukt has scored 164 runs at an average of 48 with 94 being his highest in the three ODIs against New Zealand A, while Robin Uthappa has also scored a century in the lung-opener. Also read: Selection of seniors in India A is a show of both intent, faith
The Under-19 World Cup-winning captain would look for another good show from his bat to help his team get a good start.
Uthappa, who is in ODI exile, would be hoping to produce another sparkling show after the opening ODI ton to catch the eyes of national selectors given that a limited overs series against West Indies and South Africa is in sight.
Yuvraj will be hoping for Uthappa and Chand to dazzle in the opening ODI to give a boost to the middle-order, which came good in the last two ODIs against New Zealand A with the likes of Kedar Jadhav and Mandeep Singh rising to the occasion.
Jadhav has delivered consistently, making unbeaten 30, 37 and 57, respectively in the last series. The Maharashtra batsman will be hoping to get a chance to go up the order to


text: Last fall, I read a several page excerpt that I liked, but I've managed to forget the name/author. I think the book was recent (at that time) and meant for young adults. Specifically, the young hero wanted to see the emperor?/head magician?. Before doing so, he played a card/board game with an older fellow. The gameboard would materialize two creatures which would fight each other until one won. The creatures were created by the players choosing characteristics from the beings displayed on their cards. (the strength of the GFFRRF from Naboo, the wisdom of the LKJLK from XXXXX, etc). No one knew exactly what creature they created from their cards until the game board materialized them. The game boards had been made long ago and the people had lost the lore to build them. The young hero tried to remember the lessons he had learned from his father/grandfather. After playing his cards, his adversary complemented him saying "he hid his skill well". One of the creatures was a little flying lizard while the other one was a multi-footed bouncing ball. Before the two creatures finished their fight, the head dragon of the emperor stuck its head out of a door and blasted the game board, halting the game. The young hero wanted to stand up and protest, but the guards kept him pinned down to the ground so as not to antagonize the dragon (and get blasted in turn). If you can't tell, I had vivid images as I read the excerpt. Can anyone offer suggestions on the name of the book and/or author. And is the rest of the story a good one? cheers.

Rosita, just over ten inches tall, was among the first terracotta statuettes Maillol made when he took up sculpture in the 1890s. A forerunner of the life-size bronze Bather with Raised Arms (also in the National Gallery's collection), the tiny Rosita exemplifies the sculptural aesthetic to which the artist would adhere for the next fifty years: refining and reducing the contours and volumes of the female body into a formal, abstract beauty that Maillol equated with archetypal forms in nature.
Using clay he most likely dug from a pit near his home, Maillol smoothed the curvaceous, solid figure to hide all signs of the artist's hand. The heavy hips, thick legs, and upturned breasts were typical of the Catalan women of Maillol's village, Banyuls, in the Pyrenees -- and it would be a "type" that Maillol would model again and again.
Rosita stands in modified contraposto, one knee bent with foot raised, poised (as the title of the enlarged bronze version suggests) to enter the bath. She reaches up, arms bent at the elbow, to adjust her hair and gazes down, rather than meeting the viewer's eye. The qualities of containment and introspection gave Maillol's works a centered serenity that distinguished him from his contemporaries -- particularly Rodin, who nevertheless understood and admired Maillol's unique style and vision.
