Sibirsky Extreme 2012 - The Toughest Ride of Them All

it was 4:30 pm when we were all settled into the accommodation Rod mentioned above. I thought I had a pic or two of the place, but apparently not.
Our host shot off at one point and came back with a Dutch couple in a 4wd. They were offered another room in the compound.
I had been looking at the weather, which had by now stopped raining. And consulting my calendar. Starting tomorrow morning, I had just 4 days to get to Irkutsk 3100 km away, to get my flight to see the girlfriend. That includes 2200 km (1400 miles) in Mongolia, about 1500 km (950 miles) of it on earthen vehicle tracks.
I made an on the spot decision to leave the group. Immediately. I had to get to Irkutsk. And it was going to be damn tight to see I did. I had no more than 2.5 days to get to the border at Altanbulag, and I was at Olgiy in the far west of the country, 2200 km away. I quickly repacked my bags, grabbed my damp clothes that had been drying by the fire, and said farewell to Prutser and Beamster who I would not see again on this trip - they had flights booked back to Holland from Irkutsk.
I was hoping to catch up with Rod and Terry in Irkutsk.
To get as much headstart with my ambitious schedule as possible, I decided to leave Olgiy immediately. By 5:30pm I was refuelled and making my way through town. I had about 5 hours hard riding to Ulaangom, via a track I had nicknamed the Khotgor Track a few years ago. I had about 3 - 3.5 hours or so of daylight. I would be riding in the dark for a bit. But a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
Leaving Olgiy, the track seemed in good shape:
But there were a few mudslides over the road that were very tricky to negotiate alone. An hour or so out of Olgiy I reached a familiar sight ... a sign in the middle of nowhere that I had stickered up a couple of years previously:
I was on a mission, and powered on making very good time as I passed the lake Achit Nuur, and the 3 yurts at its south eastern tip.
I stopped in at the village of Khotgor and pulled into the general store to grab some chocolates and some nibbles. A petrol 4wd was there too and I asked him if he knew where I could get a few litres of fuel. I probably had enough to make it to Ulaangom, but riding alone and with darkness coming, it would be prudent to have and extra couple of litres. He said the fuel depot in Khotgor was shut, but he would sell me 5 litres for the going rate. Then he posed for a quick pic with his son.
So with a fuel top up and an energy top up, I headed north towards the pass. I was still making good time. The pass was freezing and covered in a thick fog that severely restricted riding speeds. But it was still only around 8pm when I reached one of the two main tracks across Mongolia - known colloquially as The Northern Route. (see below)
My aggressive riding paid off. By the time darkness fell, I was just half an hour from Ulaangom, and on a rare stretch of asphalt road. In Ulaangom, I pulled into a big hotel by the side of the road, and was directed to a garage around the back, where I met two Russian bikers, on Africa Twins, who had arrived 5 minutes before me. It was 9:30pm.
After showering, I met the Russians in the hotel restaurant and we swapped details on road conditions ahead before I went upstairs to sleep. I wanted an early start tomorrow.
So far I had done 300 km since Olgiy in just over 4 hours, including a fuel and food break, by riding like a complete redneck. I was being brutal with the bike, but I HAD to get to Irkutsk and catch my flight.
My Mission to ride solo across Mongolia in 2 and a half days was ... so far so good.

Guests come to The Rose Hotel for a wide array of reasons, including to spend time in the Tri Valley and Livermore Valley Wine County. The Tri Valley (situated in the east San Francisco Bay) is home to The Rose Hotel, and the region offers an endless slate of offerings. Among them is the Livermore Valley, which has become one of the state and country's emerging wine appellations. This all happens just a few miles from The Rose Hotel. And the hotel's lobby bar carries many good local varietals.

It's a well-known fact that turkey contains L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid with a documented sleep inducing effect. That is why our utmost desire after stuffing ourselves with stuffed turkey on Thanksgiving Day is to nap.

It is the third of those considerations that The Rose Hotel will specialize in this Thanksgiving Day.

I was fortunate to attend the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament in Arlington, Texas, earlier this month. It's my absolute favorite sporting event, in part because of the intense competition and will to succeed demonstrated by the players.
In doing my research before the game — and I study the teams and coaches intently — I came across a blog from Jim Tunney, the "Dean of NFL Refs," who spent 31 years officiating pro football. In that time, he's seen it all. His insights are spot on.
His topic was "flopping," defined as "an intentional fall by a player with little or no contact by an opposing player in order to draw a personal foul call by a game official."
SEE ALSO: Try a little spring cleaning for mental health
For the record, I hate flopping. It sets a bad example. Unfortunately flopping has filtered through all levels of basketball.
Tunney talks about how the NBA added a rule in 1997 to cut down on flopping. The rule was ignored until the league actually began fining players 15 years later. The NCAA has a similar rule, which results in a technical foul, but the call is seldom made. Some players use flopping as a tactical maneuver, he says, but purists say it is a mockery of the game.
So is this a column about basketball rules? Hardly. I'm borrowing a page from Tunney, who takes examples from sports and relates them to messages for everyday living. He continues with some real-life questions: "Did you ever not intentionally do your best?" "Did you ever try to trick others into believing it was someone else's fault and not yours?" Flopping is a deliberate deception — and it translates in business to a failure to accept responsibility for your actions.

Chipmaker Qualcomm was dealt another blow in its battle to dodge an International Trade Commission's ban on the importation of its advanced cell phone chips into the U.S. when the Bush administration refused to intervene. The ITC's decision, which was handed down in June, bans the importation of all cell phones using 3G chipsets from Qualcomm, because Qualcomm was found to have infringed on patents held by rival Broadcom.
But Qualcomm says it's not giving up. The company still maintains that Broadcom's patents are not valid. Qualcomm also said it is working closely with its customers and the operators on implementing new software that will provide a work-around to the patents.
And it said it's still working on an appeal and stay request with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Last month, the appeals court said it didn't have jurisdiction in the case.
The ban would be particularly tough for all the major cell phone operators, which during the past several years have spent billions of dollars deploying their 3G networks. Public safety officials have also said that a ban on these new cell phones would hamper efforts to enhance 911 capabilities.
Another telephony player hit hard by patent problems is Net phone provider Vonage, which has been mired in a nasty patent battle with Verizon Communications and appears to be teetering on disaster as it struggles to sign up new customers. Vonage said it has completed the necessary work-arounds for the Verizon patents that a court found it infringes, but the legal drama has cost the company dearly in terms of recruiting new customers.
Vonage's legal troubles have no doubt scared off customers. During the quarter, Vonage added only 57,000 new customers. This is down dramatically from the 166,000 new customers it added in the first quarter.
What's more, Vonage, which had aggressively marketed its service by splashing banner ads all over the Internet and flooding television airwaves with commercials, has pared back its advertising budget to reduce costs. For the second quarter the company spent just $68 million on marketing, down from $91 million in the first quarter.
While many CNET News.com readers complained about Vonage's voice quality and customer service, a few readers praised the Internet phone service.
"Vonage has done a lot to spread the word about VoIP, offers some solid service and deserves a chance to grow," wrote one reader to the News.com TalkBack forum. "I never invested in Vonage and am only a customer, but would miss the service if it were forced to close."
Meanwhile, Microsoft won a reversal of a $1.5 billion jury verdict against it for infringing on a patent for MP3 technology held by Alcatel-Lucent. A judge tossed out the damages after finding that a jury improperly ruled that Microsoft infringed on one of two patents at issue for MP3 sound technology. The new ruling holds that one of the patents in the case was not actually owned outright by Alcatel-Lucent, and since Microsoft had a license to that particular patent through its co-owner, it's off the hook.
Apple's summer harvest
Apple introduced two new iMacs and unveiled updated software for home Mac users. The 20-inch and 24-inch iMacs are the latest editions of Apple's all-in-one iMac design. They are made from aluminum and glass, and come with a new keyboard. Both the new keyboard and the iMac itself are thinner than the previous edition.

- Although this is a trivial comment, I would like to know who coined
the term Telephony? I presume that it is an acronym for the longer
form TELEPHONe industrY. I just think it a silly abreviation and
rather "romper-roomish" in execution.
Who every thought that this would be a good industry name has
been spending too much time with infants.

Product description
The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments. Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.

Overall: 2-12-3 (0-5-1 PL)
Scoreboard: Lehigh vs. Holy Cross; postponed, Worcester, Mass., 10/29
Schedule: Season has concluded
- The Holy Cross women's soccer team (2-12-3 overall, 0-5-1 Patriot League) concluded the 2011 season on Saturday, Oct. 29 with a Patriot League game against Lehigh. Due to heavy snowfall, the officials stopped the match at 34:19 of the first half. By NCAA rule, 70 minutes must be completed for the game to be official. The match will not be re-played since the outcome would not have influenced seeding for the Patriot League Tournament.
- Colgate, a second place pre-season selection, will host the Patriot League Tournament with Lafayette claiming the number two seed, Navy taking third and Army finishing fourth. Lehigh and Bucknell, both top four pre-season selections, were unable to find a way in the Tournament.
- Seniors Micaela Collins (Skillman, N.J.), Kelsey Dillon (Barrington, R.I.), Liz Early (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), Michaela Morgan (Centerville, Ohio), Biz Shenk (Chatham, N.J.) and Lauren Wright (Biglerville, Pa.) were honored before the start of the Lehigh match.
- Freshman forward Gina Righini (Salem, N.H.) finished the regular season ranked sixth in the Patriot League in goals scored with 4 goals.
- Freshman goalkeeper Carly McCabe (Barrington, R.I.) wraps up her first season as the leader of Patriot League goalkeepers with her 86 saves on the year. She also led the league in saves per game with a 6.14 save/game average.

Delegations of Koreans in China Visit Mangyongdae
| Pyongyang, December 18 (KCNA) -- Delegations of Koreans in China visited Mangyongdae. They are a delegation of the General Association of Koreans in China led by Chairwoman Choe Un Bok, delegation of branch officials of the general association led by Ji Sun Bok, chief of the Changchun City branch in Jilin Province, delegation of the Federation of Korean Economic Workers in China led by Chairman Ri Sun Nam and delegation of the Youth Federation of Koreans in China led by Chairperson Kim Yong Nyo.
Members of the delegations looked around the historic relics with keen interest, being briefed about the touching stories associated with the old home of President Kim Il Sung.
At the end of the visit Choe Un Bok told KCNA:
Visiting the old home in Mangyongdae, I feel stronger yearning for Generalissimo Kim Il Sung.
HeThe great Generalissimo cultivated the lofty intentions for the revolution during his childhood in Mangyongdae.
He was a peerless patriot and the sun of the nation who devoted his all life to the country's prosperity and the people's happiness.
Kim Yong Nyo said that Mangyongdae is the native place dear to the hearts of the Koreans. The revolutionary exploits of Kim Il Sung will shine long, she added.
They also visited the National Gifts Exhibition House.

The Haunted Dollhouse or the Castle is a supposed haunted house located at 4822 Kron, Irvine CA, 92604 in The Ranch community of Irvine. Many iterations exist but rumor has it that while the owners Victor (in other versions Haym) and Olivia Ganish were in the process remodeling their house, Fern became insane and murder the couple's three children. In an attempt to hide the evidence, Victor is said to have buried the remains within the walls, somewhat explaining why the house is unfinished.
The truth however is perhaps even more disturbing than a double homicide conspiracy. Lacking a mandatory Home Owners Association, the Ganish's were free to remodel their typical conservative one story ranch house into a three story, 24 room, castle, occupying almost the entire lot. Beginning in 1982, work stopped in 1995 due to a lack of funds, leaving the house clearly unfinished.
Over the years legal action by the city has been taken against the Ganish's in an attempt to force them finish the home, be evicted, or demolish the home all together, claiming the property is unsafe. In 1995, demolish was scheduled until a Lake Forest strip club owner stepped in with funds and construction workers/strippers, as part of a publicity campaign, without any real working being done.
Although saved from demolition, to this day the house lacks drywall, plumbing and flooring, and has been observed in various states of occupation. Indeed there is something evil about this visually abrasive house reducing the property values of the neighborhood.
2010-08-04 00:13:55 I visited this house for Halloween Freshmen year at UCI. The truth is far more scary than stories ever could be. —Mateo
2011-01-24 20:00:07 This house is NOT haunted the story that Mrs. Ganish killed her children is not true...and PS she had 3 kids not 2! —Sheilstr
2011-02-01 23:15:11 Welcome to Irvine Wiki Shelistr and feel free to edit. Admittedly the only two sources I have on this matter are hearsay from Freshman year and an old OC Register article from 15 years ago. —Mateo

Having to require tips on what to do until the release of some game has confirmed my suspicions that society really has tanked further than I had originally thought. Back in my day we did something called living. Kids these days probably have never heard the word before but I assure you it's quite fun and rewarding. Yes, better than game achievements.
Battlefield 2142 has mechs in it: one of my all time favorite multiplayer fps's Not sure if its still being played...
War of the Worlds is a brilliant book and Pacific Rim is also a brilliant recommendation. For those that haven't seen it yet, but want to? Two things...
"1. Don't you ever touch me again and...
2. Don't you ever touch me again!"
Now go out to the cinema and support it with a ticket. Idris Elba IS awesome in it.
It's their job to criticize not sure if you noticed? it's not about building a game up it's about showing how the game may or may not appeal towards certain audiences, I love GTA 5, I qued up at midnight and I won't lie it's knocked off every single game I've ever loved from the throne, but I know it may not appeal to everyone, it's their job to do that, they can't score a perfect 10 because the game may not be perfect for everyone.
Dayum Johnny looks good.
will it be on ps3?
How I'm waiting for Titanfall: playing Unreal Tournament 2004, and not buying Titanfall. Fuck EA, the boycott continues.
WotW, my favorite book :D
only mecha anime i ever watched was code geass best 1 ever :p
when i was kid i watched anime called Ninja Robots ,do anyone know it ??
... Gundam. There are dozens of GREAT Gundam games (and Crossfire), which is much closer to style of Titanfall than anything mentioned in the episode. Even the cockpit (linear seats, anyone) are pretty much a direct copy of Gundam. The style of jetpacks is pretty much from Gundam (although those are only for use in Space. Multidirectional thrusters) and the background story seems to be pretty much Gundam. It's only really missing Angsty teen-age boys stealing prototypes. Infact, Gundam Battle Operation is a game with on-foot and in mecha combat and is a free to play title on the Japanese PSN. The series is also the grand-daddy of all military-mecha show, and is partially responsible for defining the genre in Japan, which has been way more successful there than here.
Way too much hype for what looks like just another FPS. Keep your pants on GS and wait for the full game.
OMG SHOGO MOBILE ARMOR DIVISION!!! that game was awesome when it came out :D
Now GTA5 is in the pocket (or xbox rather) I'm waiting for the biggest title announced this year: Destiny! :P
Respect for mentioning a tabletop wargame ;)
Batman Arkham Origins should keep me busy for a little bit
Forgetting about Power Ranges.
I would recommend playing GTA5.
I also highly recommend Heavy Gear II- great mech piloting game, but the mechs are much more similar to those in Titanfall than in Mechwarrior/Battletech- very quick and mobile, but more vulnerable to damage.
Don't forget Hawken! Free-to-play mech combat with Occulus Rift support!
Crazy show. but interesting nonetheless. I'll give Pacific Rim a try.
Look kids, another Gamespot segment where they tell you what game you're excited for.
Good thing we have Gamespot to tell us what to think, otherwise we would have to do that for ourselves.
1440x900 in staid of 1920x1080 but we up scale and you wont see the difference... every pc owner just cringes,
and every Sony fanboy just laughed there asses off... game looks cool tough
kinda hoped there would be a single player mode with titanfall too.
Talking about games that are similar to Titanfall and not mentioning tribes ascend and hawken that are both great available for free ?
Is this Feedbackula ?
lol waiting for Titanfall! You've got Splinter Cell, GTA5, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Batman and many more. I won't be playing the waiting game, I'll be playing those games! Good video tho
This game is a lot like Mech Assault 2, especially with the "Mech Jacking" feature. It's just a little less Mech-centric.
Johnny has good taste. Pacific Rim is a very good movie.
@VerentiWow - Titan really IS just like Gundam - just bought well up to date with the usual polish! Here's a youtube showing the gameplay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_MI-PGzXoQ Thanks for that Verenti
@hellgast0 i dun even know if i wana try destiny at all :|
@hellgast0 yea, destiny is going to pretty huge, literally.
@djinyoung I love tabletop gaming. I've never really dipped into actual wargames, but tabletop RPG gaming is one of my favourite things of all time.
@monstachruck Yes weird they didn't. It's the closest thing to Titanfall right now :P
It's an amazingly good film. A really good popcorn movie for all.
@Born_Luckyi dun see logic in your statement i dont recall him saying anything like that and the vid is not implying that it is made for everyone its for ppl who are waiting for this game to come out and who wana play it nothing more nothing less o.o
@Born_Lucky Hey the government can't do everything by it self.
@Cashmoney007 well its better than failformers
@SHEETBIKE @djinyoung I started as a RPG gamer then moved on to tabletop wargaming. With the right game system and if your fine with the hobby aspect it can be very fun, social, and quite rewarding.

In an era when the remains of Richard III can be positively identified by the miracle of scientific progress we are no further informed as to the fate of the brutal and cowardly lord.We do know that the Lucan family nanny was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly she was also working for the wrong people, evidenced by no financial support being offered the dependants. Not surprisingly the son of the murdered employee continues to personally investigate the unsolved case. Perhaps if roles had been reversed and the noble lord had been the victim, closure by way of arrest, conviction and sentence would have been concluded decades ago. For the record, the public should be informed as to any criminal injuries compensation awarded the victim's family in this cause celebre which does nothing to enhance the reputation of British justice.

Middle schoolers learning life skills at St. Elizabeth Seton
A stitch in time saves nine, or at least a button or two…
Eighth graders at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School are in stitches over their new Life Skills course.
"Last week, the button fell off my uniform shirt. This week, I can sew it back on myself," said Aaron Grassi, as he and classmate Derick Charles stitched away at their practice cloths.
Moments later, Grassi was snipping out his stitches, having sewn his snap on upside down.
"You need to start over, my friend," chuckled middle school instructor Patricia Lyon, "That's how we learn."
Lyon said she came up with the idea for the class after noticing a definite need for basic life skills. The course includes three six-week sessions, including basic sewing techniques, food preparation (nutrition, meal planning and budgeting) and etiquette — how to set a formal table, making introductions and table manners.
Years ago, such courses were mandatory for girls and eventually open to boys. Today, courses such as home economics are a rarity.
"Most of these skills are becoming a lost art," said Lyon, "but these are important things that will really make a lasting difference in their lives."
The four girls and two boys in the elective course agree.
"The others didn't take it, now they regret it," MaKayla Conner said of her classmates in band, chorus and TV production. "It's the best class ever. Everyone says I'm an old soul because I love sewing and cooking."
Most of the students admitted they had done little or no hand sewing prior to the class.
"The pocket ripped off my jacket last year. My mom fixed it, but now I would be able to do it myself," said Charles, who shared his favorite is the running stitch because it is stronger and more reliable than others.
Like the sewing circles of years past, the group enjoys catching up on the latest middle school topics of interest while practicing their new skills with an occasional giggle. And they take pride in their workmanship.
"I'm really pleased with the response and the results so far," Lyon said. "They love it and they're fast learners. They keep me in stitches."

Bush lifts one drilling ban, targets another
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
President George Bush announced today that by executive order he was lifting a presidential moratorium on drilling for oil and natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf, hoping to prod Congress to act to clear the way for exploration along the nationâs coastline in response to soaring energy prices.
However, the moratorium on offshore drilling imposed by Congress back in 1981 still exists. But Bush left no doubt that he wanted Congress to end its 27-year-old prohibition.
The question is how the Democratic Congress will react. In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi reacted last week by saying offshore drilling was a hoax, and she urged Bush to release oil from the Strategy Petroleum Reserve for U.S. consumption.
But other Democrats, like Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, and No. 2 in the Senate, Illinoisâ Dick Durbin, have indicated that they might support opening up new areas for offshore oil and gas drilling.
However, Florida Democrats Kathy Castor and Bill Nelson are not singing that tune.comments powered by Disqus

Left handed version?
Numeric keypad on left side
- Asked by John Y from Jamesburg

1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
I have personally never seen one of these before, and certainly not by Apple. You may be able to purchase the smaller version of this keyboard and try to find a third-party retailer to get you a stand alone number pad to put on the left side, but Apple doesn't guarantee that these models work with their computers, so it may be hard to find one that you can use.

Best Yoga Apps
Yoga will make your life better. I promise.
Any health or fitness regime needs repetition and commitment to be effective. A universally beneficial regime that can be easily done at home is yoga. Whether you have a specific health need (aches, pains, mental wellness) or just want to feel better in general, yoga is a good option. If you are a yoga virgin, nothing compares to an in-person lesson with an experienced teacher, but your iPhone or iPad can approximate that experience. Just remember, before starting your practice don't eat a heavy meal right before (ideally, don't eat anything or just eat a light meal an hour or so beforehand), pay attention to your breathing, and every pose needs a counterpose.
Essential Apps
Universal Breathing - Pranayama
by Saagara
Breathing is an essential part of a successful yoga practice and Pranayama is breath yoga. This app is straightforward and is only focused on breath. Sounds easy, but this form of meditation and physical control is a revelation once you get the hang of it. Choose from three difficulty levels, number of breaths per minute, and practice duration. If their routines aren't what you're looking for, you can create your own routine too. If you're not clear on what a Pranayama practice is or how to use the app, their information guide is comprehensive, making this app great for raw beginners and seasoned practitioners.
Notable Apps
by Breitschmid Productions
This app's videos are awesome and make it the best app for beginners. Unlike other apps, the "lessons" are full videos of the sequence and not a collection of video clips. As a result, you see how to transition from pose to pose from a real person (who as far as I've seen, does the poses perfectly). Unfortunately, this app only provides 8 lessons with no chance to get more and doesn't have any options to customize the difficulty (nor does it say what the lesson's difficulty is) or speed of your practice.
Pocket Yoga HD
by Rainfrog, LLC
If Pocket Yoga had more routines and options for pose references, it would be the best thing ever for non-beginners. Unlike other apps, every routine is well-conceived: poses flow into each other elegantly, every pose is countered, and resting poses are included where needed. The interface is gorgeous and the five pose sequences can be customized according to pose repetitions and difficulty. The drawbacks of this app lie in its limited content, the use of an illustrated model instead of a real person, and lack of individual descriptions of poses. However, the illustrations show the poses done perfectly (unlike real life models that often fail to pay attention to little details like spine elongation) and the app has a little practice tracker, and soundtrack customizer. The companion app, Pocket Yoga Practice Builder (linked below) is great for making your own sequences.
by everTHINK, Inc.
This app's interface and overall content isn't as well done as the other apps I've picked for this section, but its inclusion of different kinds of breathing exercises and the great video clips of the poses being done <i>perfectly</i> make it worth recognition. The voiceover gives useful tips on pose adjustments and video clips make it great for beginners who need to see exactly how poses are done. The major shortcomings of this app lie in its inability to download additional poses and lack of customizable features. Additionally, their "Healing Yoga" and "Theme Yoga" sequences often are just collections of poses and don't pay attention to flow or counterposes.
Decent Apps
Sworkit Pro - Custom Workout "Exercise Playlist" App for Body Area Workouts from Abs to Legs
by Nexercise
The interface and amount of content is lacking, but this app's good for a quick workout or randomized routine (and also has a free version linked below). Though not labeled as such, its other workouts incorporate pilates. This is best for non-beginners because it does not describe poses, so you need to know your way around them. The sequences have good flow and you can customize the duration and track your usage across weeks and months.
Simply Yoga FREE - Personal Trainer for Quick Home Yoga Workouts
by Daily Workout Apps, LLC
Simply Yoga is probably the most popular yoga app in the App Store because it's free and lets you start your routine immediately. It's not bogged down with features, settings, and additional information. Instead, it provides a stripped down menu of session duration and workout routine (though, only one routine is available in the free version). The best part of the workouts provided in this app is that they work out the entire body. The worst part of this app is that the model does not do many of the poses correctly and sometimes does not do the same things the voiceover tells you to do, making it confusing and misleading for beginners.
Yoga 101
by myyogaminute.com
The lessons in Yoga 101 (also available is Yoga 201 and 301) are developed from vinyasa flow yoga, the most popular style of yoga practiced in the U.S. This kind of yoga focuses on smooth transitions and the use of breath in your practice. Each of the lessons in the Yoga 101 to 301 series features full length videos of yoga sequences with a real model so you can see how to transition from pose to pose. The voiceover narration is useful and offers a lot of important notes on adjustment. Yoga 101 only provides one lesson free. Additional lessons can be downloaded for $1.99 each.
YOGAmazing - Yoga Video App
by Wizzard Media
After paying the initial cost to download this app, you get at least fifty yoga lessons at any given time. The videos are streamed to your iDevice like a podcast. The app does have occasional ads or viewer polls, which can get annoying when all you want to do is get started. While the amount of lessons that is provided gives you bang for your buck, the lack of organization and information in the app makes it difficult to navigate. For each lesson, or episode, you do not see the duration or difficulty level, so most of the time, you have to choose blindly. Ultimately, the variety of lessons, ranging from the standard energizing routines to ones targeting specific health and mental concerns might make this app worth looking at if other yoga apps aren't cutting it.
Specialized Yoga
Yoga for Weight Loss
by Saagara
This app is from Saagra, the same developer as the Pranayama app, and meshes breath control with hatha yoga poses that focus on thyroid stimulation and toning through endurance. Like all Saagra apps, all of the sequences pay attention to breathing with each pose and the breath difficulty can be chosen before each session. Overall, the app is quite limited for the cost as bigger but similarly priced apps like All-in YOGA HD also have sequences that will help with weight loss, but also have other routines for other health concerns.
Yoga Face
by myyogaminute.com
The idea of exercising or "stretching" your face may seem absurd, but this practice has long been used by those who tend to carry a lot of tension in their face and those who want to erase signs of aging. The app comes with five free lessons and for $3.99, you can unlock eight additional lessons ranging from "Neck Smoother" to "Lower Lid Firmer."
Yoga in Bed: Awaken Body, Mind & Spirit in 15 Minutes
by Vook
This app is tailored for those who want to get a head start on their day before they get out of bed. This app gives you the option of reading through routines, watching video clips of stretches and sequences, or a combination of the two. Choose from 20 poses and create a new wake up routine for yourself. The only thing to keep in mind while using this app is paying close attention to how your body feels while doing yoga in bed. Not all mattresses will be able to give you adequate support in certain poses, which can lead to you straining or pulling a muscle.
Airplane Yoga
by Michael Huffman
This app won't blow your mind with innovative and exciting yoga routines, but it is tremendously useful if you are someone who travels a lot. Being in a tight, confined space for extended periods of time can wreak havoc on your body. This app (also available in a free version) offers little stretches and routines you can do before and during your travels. Each pose and stretch has a description of the action and a video. On top of this collection of poses, it also has a cute section where it gives you tips for "zen-like air travel."

UA keeps Anderson working overtime
Posted: January 18, 2013 at 2:13 a.m.
Arkansas has played just nine games in 90 basketball seasons that went two overtimes or longer, according to the UA media guide, and Razorbacks Coach Mike Anderson has been on the bench for three of those games.

Brantley Gilbert, 'Just As I Am' – Everything You Need to Know in 60 Seconds
Brantley Gilbert's 'Just As I Am' album is now in stores, containing the Georgia-raised singer's No. 1 hit 'Bottoms Up' and his new single 'Small Town Throwdown.' Gilbert says he doesn't write about anything he hasn't lived
Album Spotlight: Dolly Parton, 'Blue Smoke'
Dolly Parton's 'Blue Smoke' is a lyricist's album. Parton's 42nd studio album rarely relies on silly or corn pone metaphors or jokes, instead offering tracks that stick to the soul.
Lee Brice's 'I Don't Dance' Debuts on ToC Top 10 Video Countdown
The new video from Lee Brice makes its Top 10 Video Countdown debut this week. 'I Don't Dance' checks in at No. 8, besting videos from Luke Bryan and more. The top will look familiar to regular voters of this weekly poll.
Album Spotlight: Rascal Flatts, 'Rewind'
The song 'Rewind' is a good measuring stick for Rascal Flatts' new album of the same name as it truly does -- as Jay DeMarcus said -- tie the old to the new. It's the mean of 13 songs that range from syrupy and organic to razor sharp and vengeful.
Lady Antebellum, 'Bartender' [Listen]
Lady Antebellum's new song 'Bartender' brushes against themes found in the group's biggest hit to date, but sonically it's quite a deviation from 'Need You Now' or anything they've recorded released to radio. Perhaps only 'Downtown' served up a more surprising sound from this trio.
Zac Brown Band, 'All Alright' [Listen]
Dave Grohl's influence on the Zac Brown Band is obvious from the first blues-rock soaked pulls of electric guitar on 'All Alright.' It's a new direction for the ZBB, a band whose musical journey looks more like a maze than a straight line.
Kip Moore, 'Dirt Road' [Listen]
Kip Moore is right when he says his new single 'Dirt Road' will raise a few eyebrows, it may just take awhile. Lyrically the new song is country's Mariana Trench hiding behind familiar references to beer, moonlight and backseat romance.
Hunter Hayes, 'Storyline' – Everything You Need to Know in 30 Seconds or Less
Hunter Hayes' second studio album hits stores on Tuesday (May 6), and if you're on the fence about picking it up because you're not sure what to expect from 'Storyline,' this is your 30-second solution. But listen closely, or you're going to miss a few important details.

City Navigator Europe NT 2013.20 (Download and trip planning.)
View Single Post
Joined: Sep 2007
Location: Germany
Oddometer: 89
About 2 hours later. I disconnected the Zumo 660 and took it outside and turned it on. On the Zumo 660 I went through Tools then Settings then Map then Map Info stated that the following was installed:
- CN Europe NT 2013.20 3D
- BMW Motorrad
--Worldwide v.7.00
- CN Europe NT 2013.20
-- Central & Eastern Europe (NOTE: Previously it stated Western Europe.)
I then looked to my destination (panning to it) outside Budapest and the road was listed. Success, I suppose, but I had achieved that earlier by using MapInstall and just grabbing those areas of the map (WIENER NEUSTADT, OSTERREICH, BUDAPEST, MAGYARORSA.) I then panned to London to see if there were detailed streets there. There were no details below the M road level. So it appears that I lost the Western Europe detail.
I checked my computer and it states that the Zumo has 1.32GB free of 3.65GB and that the
µSD Card in the Zumo has 1.83GB free of 1.83GB. I'm planning on getting a larger µSD Card tomorrow but I'm not sure how it is going to help me get all of the CN Europe 2013.20 on the Zumo. Nothing is on the µSD Card now and I don't recall seeing an option to add anything to it.
I have
purchased the Garmin LifeTime Updater.
You have to be smarter than the equipment you operate and I'm not sure that I am at this point.

David Fisher, a Rogers lawyer, was indicted yesterday in connection with a conspiracy charge in the bank fraud case of Brandon Barber, a former Northwest Arkansas developer, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge.
The indictment says Fisher, along with Barber, Brandon Rains and Jeff Whorton obtained bank loans under false pretenses. Fisher also prepared an agreement between the men detailing how the money from the scheme would be divided, according to the news release.
The charge against Fisher carries a maximum 30 years in prison and $1 million fine, the news release stated.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Alfonso Ribeiro Leads Flash Mob With Carlton Dance (VIDEO)
Since The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended its TV run, we've missed the fantastically uncool Carlton dance that actor Alfonso Ribeiro did so well. Luckily for us, he's still doing it! The actor-turned-fitness buff led a flash mob to promote an exercise challenge recently and just couldn't resist including the choreography he made so famous.

Farm history gets preservedClub members bond over old tractors
Jerry Skalicky favored the two-cylinder John Deere tractors and the "putt putt putt putt" sound they make. But his dad was an International man. When Skalicky moved to Moorhead in the 1960s, he had enough land to plow up a garden. So he bought a 1944 John Deere.

I really love to experiment in the mornings for breakfast. I had some left over canned black beans and salsa one day, which led me to adding them to my breakfast meal. This egg, black beans and salsa recipe is really easy and quick. I really like the salsa and black beans with the egg as it adds a nice Mexican flavor. The pepper jack cheese adds just enough spice. You can certainly use a flour tortilla and make this recipe into a wrap too. I cook my egg over medium but have used a scrambled egg as well.
Egg, Black Beans and Salsa – 7 Points +
Egg White, Spinach and Turkey Muffins – 3 Points +
I am always looking for something quick and easy for breakfast. I made these delicious and healthy egg white, spinach and turkey muffins for brunch as well as breakfast. The turkey is the muffin holder and they are filled with feta cheese and spinach which gives it a nice Mediterranean flavor. The points are low which allows me not to feel guilty about having two of them at once. There are many different variations of this recipe too. A friend of mine prepared these for her children one day and they loved them (including the spinach).
Smoked Salmon and Lentil Salad – 7 Points +
When I'm craving a salad that's not only delicious and bursting with flavors, but also hearty, very satisfying, and extremely nutritious, I turn to this Smoked Salmon and Lentil Salad. I usually always keep a few hardboiled eggs in the fridge, and with minimal prep, this salad can be put together quickly and easily. Loaded with protein, fiber and Omega-3's, this salad is great for a heart healthy lunch idea! You can use leftover cooked salmon with this too, if you prefer, but I love to treat myself to some smoked salmon on occasion. And it works especially well with the tahini sauce in this dish. I also like to thin out the tahini sauce with some water and/or lemon juice, as the Trader Joe's one I use is really thick. At just 7 Points + for the whole, huge salad, this Weight Watchers Recipe is sure to become a favorite of yours, too.
Breakfast Phyllo Wrap Recipe – 4 Points +
These Breakfast Phyllo Wraps are perfect for when you need a breakfast on the go! I am almost always eating breakfast while I'm in the car or while I'm walking around the house getting the kids ready for school in the morning…so something nutritious, delicious, and that can be carried in one hand is ideal. I usually make these wraps in bulk and then freeze them, so whenever I need one, I can just pop it out of the freezer and heat it up. My Breakfast Phyllo Wraps are basically a traditional breakfast of bacon and eggs topped with American cheese and rolled into a phyllo that is baked until crisp and golden brown. To keep it lighter and healthy, I used egg whites, whole wheat phyllo, and fat free cheese. If Points aren't a concern of yours, feel free to use real eggs and cheese. Also, you add in some onion, tomatoes, mushrooms…any other veggies you'd like, if you want to bulk it up a bit. They are absolutely delicious and a great Weight Watchers breakfast at just 4 Points + per serving.
Corn Quiche Recipe – 4 Points +
Believe it or not, I got the idea for this delicious, crustless Corn Quiche recipe from one of my son's preschool teachers. The teachers had helped the kids make this one day for their afternoon snack, and when I came to pick up my son, he was still sitting at the table gobbling his down. One of his teachers, Ms. Sylvia, told me that he LOVED it. And it was pretty clear that was true. So, I was excited to recreate it for him at home, and figured I could transform it into a Weight Watchers friendly quiche too! So Ms. Sylvia told me what was in it, and I went to work putting it all together later that week. Because I was wanting to keep the quiche low in Points Plus, I used EggBeaters instead of real eggs. If you prefer real eggs, you'll want to use 3 large ones in place of the EggBeaters, but it will increase the Points Plus value a bit. It turned out absolutely perfect, and incredibly delicious. And just 4 Points Plus per serving. Thank you, Ms. Sylvia! Your quiche was a hit!
Spicy Egg Drop Soup Recipe – 1 Points +
Soup is one of go to recipes whenever I'm really hungry. I eat a bowl before I eat my lunch or dinner, and then that helps to fill me up, so I don't overdo it on the main course. And egg drop soup is a delicious and light option. However, a traditional egg drop soup recipe is quite mild. So sometimes, I really want to kick up the flavor notch and I whip up this spicy version instead. It is so fast and easy to make, and is really quite delicious. And at just 1 Points + for a 1 1/2 cup serving, this Spicy Egg Drop Soup is a fantastic Weight Watchers Recipe. Enjoy!
Cheese, Onion, and Vegetable Egg White Frittata Recipe – 3 Points +
Frittata is such a fancy word for what it really is – basically, Italy's version of an open faced omelet. And don't let that fancy word fool you into thinking it's some complicated dish, because it's one of the easiest egg recipes ever. I love to make a frittata for breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner…whatever! It's easy delicious and very low in Points Plus. And it takes just minutes to make. To keep my version light, I use all egg whites. You can absolutely use whole eggs or Egg Beaters instead, if you prefer. I also use a good, reduced-fat sharp cheddar for some extra flavor. The wonderful flavor of the onions and vegetables make a perfect enhancement for the mild egg whites too. You can really use any veggies you want in this frittata, but I chose bell pepper rings and cherry tomato slices because I love the touch of acidity and flavor they add. But I love to mix it up all the time with whatever veggies I have on hand. This is a great Weight Watchers Easter Brunch Recipe idea!
Crustless Quiche Recipe – 3 Points +
Perfect for a laid-back weekend breakfast or brunch, these adorable little Crustless Quiches are not only delicious, but they are just 3 Points + each! By eliminating the tradition quiche crust, this dish becomes a low carb, high protein Weight Watchers breakfast recipe that is flavorful and filling, yet still very light. Also, using egg whites instead of whole eggs makes a big difference in the nutritional content. I love and prefer the taste of egg whites, but these quiches can be made with whole eggs or EggBeaters if you'd rather. Serve with some toast, fresh fruit and a light salad for a complete, low Points Plus meal.
Brunch Stuffed Peppers Recipe – 6 Points +
I do not even know where to begin to accurately express my love for these monstrously delicious Brunch Stuffed Peppers. Not only are they incredibly quick and easy to prepare, they are filled with amazing, savory flavors that will make you forget you actually eating something low calorie and low in Points. They key here is not skimping on the bacon and cheese. Yes, you read that right. The rest of the ingredients are all on the lighter side, so I decided to be a bit heavy handed with the bacon and cheese. Sure, you could probably shave a Point or two off by using fat free cheese or turkey bacon, but the flavor of this Weight Watchers brunch recipe is dramatically enhanced by using the good stuff. My most favorite bacon to use is THIS one from Applegate Farms. It's lower in sodium than most bacon and is nitrate free, which I LOVE. I adore these Brunch Stuffed Peppers so much that I'm planning on making them for Christmas morning breakfast this year instead of my Baked Pumpkin Pie French Toast. Yes, they are that good.
Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe – 2 Points +
Recently, I came across this Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe at Fresh Family Meals, and was extremely skeptical about the end result. Traditional Chinese Fried Rice is one of the most popular and beloved Chinese food recipes out there, and some things are just sacred. That being said, I sure do LOVE fried rice, so despite my skepticism, the promise of delicious, low Points fried rice made me believe it was worth a shot. I tweaked the original version of the recipe just a tad to make it a bit tastier and a bit more Weight Watchers friendly, but let me tell you, it was fantastic! I can honestly say that it tasted pretty darn close to traditional fried rice, though each cup sized serving came out to just 2 Points + vs the 10 Points Plus of restaurant prepared fried rice. That is a HUGE deal people. And it is surprisingly easy to prepare…the only real work involved is grating the cauliflower. I'd recommend a food processor for this task, but if you don't have one, a cheese grater will work just fine, it'll just require more elbow grease. This would make a perfect low Points Weight Watchers Side Dish to serve with your favorite main course…I served it with my Sesame Chicken, and it was perfection. Low calorie, low fat, low carb, low Points, and fabulous, familiar flavor…what more could you ask for? This Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe is an absolute must try.
Cheesy Spinach and Mushroom Quiche Recipe – 5 Points +
Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe – 6 Points +
I love having a breakfast ready to go when I wake up in the morning, and I love it even more when it's something as delicious as an Eggs Benedict Casserole! By making a few healthier adjustments to a typical Eggs Benedict recipe, and making it into a casserole version, I've created a delicious and easy breakfast casserole that is prepared the night before and baked in the morning. I also make the Hollandaise Sauce the night before and the just re-heat it in the morning. Each very nicely sized serving is just 6 Points + and it tastes amazing. I'm a really big fan of Hollandaise, and my light Hollandaise sauce recipe that is served with this casserole is so easy and good…and you get a nice 1/4 cup serving! This low calorie Eggs Benedict Casserole is the perfect Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipe for the whole family. Enjoy!

Question: In the 30th to 36th minute of a 45-minute second half game for BU17, there was a foul that took down a player and they were injured. That player remained on the field until the coaches could be called on to attend to him. During that time, the injured player's parent ran onto the field yelling at the referees that they allowed his son to get injured because they didn't make the calls necessary to stop the rough play. The coaches from the parent's team got the parent off the field of play and away from the referees. The player was then taken off the field. During this time, the referees conferred and came back to state that the match was suspended due to the parent coming on the field.
Since the match was called in the 36th minute of the 2nd half, does the score stand as official? Should the officials have notified the coach to have the parent removed or the match would be suspended before they just suspended the match? Can they have the results of the match overturned to a forfeit for the team with whose parent entered the field of play?
Answer: We cannot understand why the referee needed to have a conference with the ARs to determine that the match was suspended. The match is automatically suspended the moment the referee allows authorized medical (or coaching) staff to enter the field to examine the player.
Surely the referee told the teams that the match had been "terminated" because of the actions of the parent, who entered the field without permission and then verbally attacked the referee.
What happens when a match is terminated is dictated by the rules of the competition (league or state/local association, etc.), not by the referee. The referee must include full details in the match report. Then the competition authority will determine what remains to be done.

Question: It's very near the end of the game and Team A is losing to Team B.
Team A has a throw-in near the benches and is pressing very hard to equalize the score. As Team A's player begins to take the throw-in, Team B's substitute goalkeeper, sitting on the bench, throws another ball into the field to prevent the restart.
The referee correctly identifies the goalkeeper, shows the red card, and sends him off for the misconduct. Now here's the issue.
Some referees are opining that a substitute is considered "bench personnel" while at the bench. Therefore, the GK is sent off for "irresponsible behavior."
I argue that a substitute is a substitute, not bench personnel. As such the substitute GK can only be sent off for one of the seven reasons stated in Law 12 -- and "irresponsible behavior" is not one of them.
Your response?
Answer: Neither the substitute goalkeeper nor any other player may be sent off for the offense of "irresponsible behavior." He may only be cautioned for unsporting behavior, unless something else occurs during the period following the initial cautionable misconduct of throwing the extra ball onto the field.
This was made clear in a position paper of March 22, 2006, on "Management of Behavior in the Technical Area." The pertinent quote from that paper Is: ",. . . in match conditions where spectators are not allowed near the immediate area of the field (for example, restricting spectators to stadium seats or behind barriers), the persons allowed in or near the field are strictly limited to players, substitutes, and team officials. For purposes of this memorandum, anyone officially allowed in the technical area who is not a rostered player or substitute (or substituted player) is a team official."
Thus, no player (including substitutes and substituted players) may be sent off for "irresponsible behavior." Such persons are not "bench personnel" and are thus not subject to the same treatment as team officials (coaches, trainers, medical personnel, etc.). Players (including substitutes and substituted players) may be sent off only for one of the seven reasons listed in Law 12, which covers players, etc.
Cal South E-News | April 2012 REFEREE EDUCATION | April 20, 2012
Question: Clearly, a coach could theoretically protest any game, but does the USSF offer any guidelines to leagues regarding what might make a game truly "protestable?"
Or to re-word it: What type of referee errors might be grievous enough to result in a protested match being replayed?
We have differing schools of thought. Some here would say that any misapplication of the law, such as an incorrect restart, would qualify.
Others would pose that the error must directly impact the outcome of the game, for example, not allowing a goal scored from a corner would be a referee misapplication of the Law which directly impacts the outcome. Whereas, awarding a corner kick when it should have been a throw-in, and then the corner results in a goal, would be an indirect impact. The players had the opportunity to mediate that misapplication of the Law.
Of course, leagues prefer not to incur the expense of replaying any games at all. That financial concern aside - are there any guidelines for how a coach or league board might determine if a protest is worthy on the basis of the referee's performance alone?
Answer: There are no national standards for protesting the result of the game and the acts of the referee. Traditionally there is only one reason to protest the decision of the referee, and that is solely for a decision that is counter to the Laws of the Game. In other words, a situation where misapplying the Laws does indeed affect the game or where a referee clearly sets aside one of the Laws of the Game.. There can be no protest on a matter of referee judgment.
Equally traditionally, many protest committees pay no attention to the facts of the case, no matter how rationally reasoned and presented.

During the season, it is important that you keep your player's parents informed. Having a reliable team contact list helps! You, the Team Parent, will be the primary team contact. Updates will be emailed to you so please make sure we have your email address. Update should be shared with your team. It is your responsibility to inform your team and prepare them for all upcoming soccer events such as snack day, concessions and picture day.
You should also help the coach set a positive tone for the team. Remind parents that coaches coach and parents cheer. Remind them to be courteous to the referees, and pick up trash after practices and games.
Remember this is all about the kids having fun.
Picture forms will be available one week before and on the day of picture day and will need to be filled out regardless if you are or are not purchasing additional photos. Your scheduled picture time will be posted on the SMYS website, and team parents will receive an email informing you of your scheduled picture time. Your entire team must be there in full uniform (except shin guards) and ready to go 30 minutes before your scheduled time!
Coaches, team parents, and sponsors (if they choose to participate) are included in the team picture. Be ready, wear your team colors or team shirt, and smile!
Picture packets:
You do have the option of purchasing additional photos. Magazine covers, buddy pictures, trading cards, posters, etc… will be available to purchase on picture day from the photographer. Parent must fill out an additional form for additional photos.
Pictures will be distributed within 4-6 weeks after picture day.
If you are concerned about a player suffering a heat related illness, please contact the referee, board member or notify the coach. Some things to look out for if you have a concern about a player:
Heat cramps: It is the mildest form of heat illness, and it usually occurs before or after exercise affecting only the specific muscles used. No medical attention is required.
Symptoms- thirst, chills, clammy skin, throbbing heart, muscle spasms, and nausea
Treatment- First, move the child to the shade and remove excess clothing. Have child drink 4-8 ounces of water or sports drink.
Heat Exhaustion: More serious than heat cramps and may need medical attention. This results from a reduced blood volume due to excessive sweating, which causes the blood to pool in the arms and legs, causing the child to feel dizzy or faint.
Symptoms- Nausea, extreme fatigue, reduced sweating, headache, shortness of breath, weak and rapid pulse, dry mouth.
Treatment- Move the child to a cool place. Have the child drink slowly 16 ounces of fluid such as water or sports drink for every pound of weight lost. Remove sweaty clothes and place ice/ice pack behind the child's head. Seek medical attention if there is NO improvement.
Heat Stroke: If a child is suffering from heat stroke, call 911 immediately. Heat stroke is a life threatening illness where the body's temperature/regulating process stops functioning.
Symptoms- Sweating, hot and dry skin, swollen tongue, visual disturbances, rapid pulse, unsteady gait, fainting, low blood pressure, vomiting, headache, loss of consciousness, shock.
Treatment- Call 911 and remove sweaty clothes. Cover child with ice packs, immerse child in cold water if possible or rub with alcohol. If the child is in shock, elevate feet.
It is up to you and your team to decide if and where you choose to have your team party. A great way to the end the season is with a team party. Some prefer to have their party at a restaurant, have a potluck at a team member's home, or order a couple of pizzas and meet at the park. Talk to your team and decide what works best for you. If your sponsor is a restaurant, you might want to have the team party there to show your support. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you split the cost among all your team members.
This is also a great opportunity to thank your coach/asst. coach. Remember that they have spent a great deal of time over the last 12 weeks support the team and players. Purchasing a gift is not required! If you do choose to purchase a gift(s), again, please divide the cost among your team. Please keep in mind that some players may be on a very tight budget
