Basic Info:
Player: ZombieMesh
Demeanor: Gabriel comes off as very odd and uncomfortable. His movement can seem unnatural at times, and sometimes he'll purposely magnify any odd behavior or movement he does. He tends to sit and the back and watch others rather than be a part of the group, but is not against interrupting.
Nature: Gabriel likes to observe just as much as he likes to mess with people. He's a prankster at heart, and likes to use his weird attributes to cause a little bit of chaos. It's very rare to catch him in a solemn mood, but that's mostly because he actively hides it from anyone. His observation skills combined with his cunning mind is a dangerous weapon.
Description: When he's not bending himself in impossible ways, Gabriel is naturally a little bit tall, as well as lanky and pale. His hair is long and black, which is normally keeps in a loose ponytail or bun. He often wears black makeup around his eyes and paints lines down from them, very similarly to his mask. His grey eyes go well with his dull color pallete of clothes he seems to wear, which either hide or reveal his segmented self depending on his mood that day.
His Jester outfit is is a sight to behold. Very much unlike modern Halloween costumes depicting a tunic Jesters, Gabriel's costume reflects a more of a harlequin doll style of jester, with fluffy sleeves, a ruff, and a stripped and split pattern. It's main colors are a deep, dark purple and dull gold, and it's accented with green, much like the colors of Mardi Gras. The mask he wears with the costume is a porcelain white face painted like a jester. The eyes are a tilted crescent shape, meant to resemble a person's closed eyes while laughing. It has high, rounded cheeks and a large, rounded v-shaped smile.
HP and Psyche start at 6, can't raise during creation, but add 1/2 of Brawn to HP.
Brawn, Agility and Brains start at 1 each, starting cap 4, total cap 6, and you get 5 points to distribute among them.
Psyche: 6/6
Brawn: 2
Agility: 4
Brains: 2
Things your character is good at, things normal people can do
Things you're character is good at, things normal people can do.
Skills rolls add their associated stat as well (Brawn, Agility or Brains). You get 12 points to spend on skills at creation, with a starting cap of 4 and total cap of 6.
- Not an Act - (4) Agility - While he spent a good chunk of his life in the circus as a freak show display, Gabriel liked to practice on the side with the other circus acts. He especially enjoyed the acrobatic maneuvering of some of his 'co-workers.' With practice, he has become more adept at being flexible and balanced.
- A Circus of Cons - (4) Brains - Every circus has a dark side, especially ones that boast about their gallery of freaks. Liars and cheats are common place. Gabriel, having grown up on the dark side side of the circus, is very much used to deception and being deceptive. It is important to be able to manipulate both the mind and the body.
- Out of Nowhere - (3) Brawn - Gabriel isn't strong when it comes to a fight; he'd much rather slip out of a bad situation than trade blows. But sometimes, fights are unavoidable, which leaves him at a big disadvantage in the strength department. He makes up for this with his flexibility and cunning, along with his detachable parts. When fighting, Gabriel does well by making sure his hits come out of left field, leaving his opponent stunned and confused. It helps that he can take his arm off as well.
- Comes with the Costume - (3) Brains - What is a circus without its colorful wardrobe? Gabriel has been in and around a lot of zany costumes, and had to learn how to repair his own whenever something tore or broke off. While not as good as any of the seamstresses he's met, he can salvage a bad day with a needle and thread.
Supernatural Abilities:
These are things you're character accomplishes via their power.
Abilities/Powers should be fairly broad, but look at other characters for good examples. They can grow over time, so don't worry if you start on the small side! You get 7 points to spend on powers at creation, with a starting cap of 4 and total cap of 7. Powers add your Tier to their rolls, usually.
Ball Jointed Marionette - 4 - Ever since he was born, Gabriel has had more in common with a resin doll than his fellow human. All of his joints, his neck, waist and chest are structured similar to that of a ball-jointed figure: segmented and sectioned. He is able to twist and bend any of his jointed parts unnaturally, and is even able to detach pieces of himself and reattach them with ease.
Stringless Performance - 3 - Much like a puppet on strings, every piece of Gabriel seems to be controlled by an outside force. While no strings seem to be involved, the movement of detached pieces seem very unnatural (as unnatural as floating arms can be). Gabriel is able to control his own parts, detached or not, to a certain extent and range. He can also make phantom steps, where he can step upward as if there was set of small stairs, and gives the illusion of floating or hovering, much like a marionette doll suspended in the air by its strings. Gabriel is essentially his own puppeteer.
The side effect of your powers, not necessary.
- Weak Joints (Mild) - The ability to bend and detach pieces of himself comes with some drawbacks. All of his intersecting parts are a sort of weak point. If Gabriel take a hit to one of his jointed segments hard enough, odds are it will detach it from him. The sudden loss of a limb or section makes it harder for Gabriel to assume control of it, leaving him potentially open for attack for a few seconds.
List everything your character carries on their person here. Be reasonable.
- Jester Mask
- A travel sized sewing kit
- A switchblade
- Make-up Kit
- Marbles
- Hair ties and bobbypins
- A deck of cards
And everything that they keep in their dorm at SunnyBrook. Anything that's not listed here or in the section above will be difficult for the character to retrieve.
- Circus Jester Costume
- Sewing Machine
- Cosmetics (make-up and the like)
- A language book about French
- Lots of pillows
- Lots of stringed beads
Personal History:
Gabriel Favrot hardly had a mother growing up, and even less of a father. His mother, Jessibel, was an acrobatics performer for a circus in southern Lousianna, and his father was a traveling business man who happened to have a short fling with her during his week in the South. Gabriel was a result of a spat between his mother, and another woman whom his father had flirted with at the same time. The other woman sought out a Cajun voodoo queen out of jealously, having Jessibel cursed when Gabriel's father picked her over the jealous women. Out of this curse, Gabriel was conceived, and his father soon left to resume his life.
A pregnant acrobatics performer is not a performer at all, so Jessibel was forced to leave the circus and find monetary support elsewhere. With no help from the faraway man she had slept with, she struggled financially and grew a contempt for the baby growing inside her. Eventually, Gabriel was born, seemingly deformed with broken looking elbows and knees. Jessibel returned to the circus with her new baby, and went back to performing as soon as she could. Gabriel was left in the care of whomever felt like taking care of him during the course of the day. As he grew, his deformity became more and more apparent and drastic, which lead him to be put in one of the freakshow showcases.
By the time he was eight years old, his weird body structure was revealed to be much more than weak joints. Gabriel could bend himself in ways that would normally break an arm. Given, his ability at the time wasn't that much of a feat, since there are many freakshow acts or contortionists who can do just that, but as he grew older his abilities started to manifest more. He became The Ball-Jointed Boy, and later, when he learned how to phantom step, he was The Marionette.
His entire life was the circus and his freakish ability, until he caught the eye of The Global Watch Unit. With no resistance from his deadbeat mother, Gabriel was taken into custody and eventually enrolled in SunnyBrook.
- Knows Creole French
- Can understand Cajun English

JCD Board's Reasons For Superintendent Firing Revealed
By Mike Perleberg
(Osgood, Ind.) – A newly released document details the Jac-Cen-Del school board's reasons for firing the district superintendent.
The Jac-Cen-Del Board of School Trustees voted 3-0 on Tuesday to terminate the contract of Dr. Leanna Phillippe. She had become the small school corporation's superintendent in 2012 under a three-year contract subject to annual review.
A findings of fact by the board alleges that Phillippe was insubordinate to the board or exhibited incompetence on multiple occasions. Some of the incidents could have cost the school district thousands of dollars, while others seemed like simple disagreements.
The first offense, according to the board's findings, was in February 2013 when Phillippe recommended that repairs be made to the roof at Jac-Cen-Del High and Middle School. A board member asked about a warranty on the roof installed in 2001, to which Phillippe claimed there was no warranty.
Another board member, Phil Mohr, went to Phillippe's office in April 2013 to ask if anybody had contacted the installer of the previous roof. Phillippe allegedly claimed that she did not know who put the roof on, but in a packet of information handed to the board member, Mohr found copies of two checks to the roofing company.
Further investigation by Mohr determined that the roof did indeed have a full 15-year warranty that started in 2001. The roof was repaired at a cost of $16,000. Phillippe's recommendation for a new roof would have cost $296,400, according to the findings of fact.
"Ms. Phillippe, when asked about the warranty, should have investigated the issue, at least to the extent of opening the folder she handed to Mr. Mohr to discover the contact information of the original installer. Her failure to do so constitutes incompetence," the school board states in the document.
In another instance cited by the board, Phillippe allegedly had a camera and buzz-in security system installed at Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School without board approval in March of 2013. Two months earlier, the board had requested that Phillippe seek more bids for the security upgrades. When questioned by a board member, Phillippe stated that she did not need board authority to have the system installed.
Other allegations seemed to be reaching on the board's part. The board said that Phillippe's thoughts about a book assigned to 7th grade students "may not be in step with the community standards of the Jac-Cen-Del Community."
According to the board's findings, the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian has been banned in some school districts because it contains possibly offensive excerpts. When Phillippe was called upon by a parent to give her evaluation of the novel, she allegedly stated "The book really has a beautiful story and is not any worse than a bus ride home or prime time TV."
Several other occasions of alleged incompetence or insubordination were listed in the findings of fact including:
- Failure to provide improvement plans for two educators despite requests from the board.
- A first year teacher was given a salary greater than the teacher contract allows. Phillippe had to go back to the teacher to reduce his salary.
- Made changes in policy manual regarding comp time without calling the board's attention to the change.
- Wrongly reported to a local newspaper that the school district and the teacher's association had reached an agreement on waiver days for developing digital curriculum.
- Wrongly stated during a board meeting regarding state law requiring 360 minutes of instructional time each day for high school students and whether the school had implemented the requirement correctly.
- Phillippe failed to conduct exit interviews with two retiring teachers despite the board's request.

I am not sure what went wrong.You first download the zip file called Disk2vhd. Then you don't need to install the aplication. It is a portable application. You just need to run it. If the application cannot run, then two or more basic services that are important for Disk2vhd are disabled or removed. These services are: - Microsoft software shadow copy provider - Shadow protect service i'm sorry i was a-bit misleading, the error comes during the os install, off of the dvd. after setup is starting screen, error screen pops up ... , i googled, similar problems but nothing definitive. thanks anyway
hello wondim or ?, i used the mark russ. app as you suggested, when i try to install i get "can not open needed image for install", or something to that effect. after that trying to diagnose i tried to open with image manager from waik and it said "no catalog file". later i unpacked the wim with to poke around and there was the vhd i started with. gimagex either didn't turn it into a wim or maybe thats the way it deals with it. apparently i did something wrong.

Tell me your thoughts. You can't deny that an extra 10% magic damage reduction is pretty sexy, even if you sacrifice some other talents for it.
Nothing is for certain yet, i'm just thinking of new things. With the dispersion glyph, I really am getting my mana back up quicker.
Also, another option would be to move 2 points from Improved Fort and putting them into Blessed Recovery.
Really going for survivability.

Female journalist gang raped in India
A young photojournalist was gang raped while her male colleague was tied up and beaten in India's business hub of Mumbai, police said Friday. The case was reminiscent of the December gang rape and death of a young university student in the Indian capital that shocked the country. Police said the woman was on assignment to take pictures of an abandoned textile factory in south Mumbai late Thursday when five men confronted her with an offer to help her get permission to shoot inside the building. Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh told reporters that the men tied her colleague's hands with a belt while she was gang raped. The woman, 22, is in stable condition in hospital.

United Nations says Syrian child refugees tops 1 million mark
The number of registered child refugees fleeing Syria's violence has topped the 1 million mark in another grim milestone of the deepening conflict, two U.N. agencies said Friday. Roughly half of all the nearly 2 million registered refugees from Syria are children, and some 740,000 of those are under the age of 11, according to the U.N. refugee and children's agencies. Separately, Syria's deputy prime minister told the Associated Press that foreign fighters and their international backers are to blame for a purported chemical weapons attack near Damascus that the opposition says killed at least 100 people, the deadliest such attack in Syria's civil war.

Jurors in the court-martial of Maj. Nidal Hasan will return to court to resume deliberating murder charges against the Army psychiatrist. The case went to the jury Thursday after Hasan declined to give a closing argument at his trial on charges of killing 13 people and injuring 31 others in a shooting spree here four years ago. A military prosecutor, in his closing, pressed the jury of 13 Army officers for a unanimous murder conviction that could lead to the death penalty.

Of course you can. Why not ask yourself a different question: if I am inserting into a table, does that stop you selecting from the table? And if it doesn't stop you, then why would export (which is merely doing a clever sort of select) behave differently?
What will be included in the export, of course, will *not* include the records inserted before the export began (if you say CONSISTENT=Y) or before the export of that particular table began (if CONSISTENT=N).
Freshly-inserted records will therefore not get included.
> Is there a great impact on this?
Of course. Export is selecting records. Export is therefore doing work against your database. That extra work might or might not be noticeable as an impact, though: it depends on how well behaved your database is without export running.

Export is not a viable or valid backup solution. It is a valid complement to a physical backup, but it should not be relied upon on its own.

Grey's Anatomy Earns GLAAD HonorSteve Marsi at . Comments
Grey's Anatomy, known for its controversial medical-themed drama plot, has proven itself to be worthy of yet another honor.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, a non-profit organization dedicated in promoting the fair and accurate representation of gay people in events and media, has awarded ABC's Grey's Anatomy for its outstanding individual episode entitled Where the Boys Are.
"Where the Boys Are," which aired on November 9, 2006, features a man, Daniel, who wants a sexual reassignment surgery and who now goes under the name Donna.
Initially, Daniel's wife of the past 10 years was astonished to discover that he wanted the surgery. After much resistance, she decided to stay by his side and support him.
The episode also features the show's recurring gay character, Joe the bartender (right), and his boyfriend, Walter, both of whom accompany the surgeons on their camping trip.Grey's Anatomy was recognized despite an unpleasant issue last year, regarding its cast member Isaiah Washington using a gay slur about co-actor T.R. Knight. Later, he apologized and entered a rehab facility to seek counseling.
The GLAAD award is just one of the numerous recognitions Grey's Anatomy has obtained since 2006. Other awards included a Producers Guild Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, NAACP Image Award, Emmy Award, and Television Critics Award just to name a few.
Apart from Grey's Anatomy, Little Miss Sunshine won outstanding film in the wide release category.
In addition, Brothers & Sisters also earned the outstanding drama series award, while Ugly Betty took home the award for outstanding television comedy series. Furthermore, Jennifer Aniston, actress best known for her inclusion on Friends, won the Vanguard Award.
The 18th annual event, held Saturday, April 14, consisted of 42 categories, divided into four ceremonies, held in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and San Francisco.

Many years ago, an American family made a decision to sponsor a child named Jose Nicolas Ramirez.
At the time, all that family knew about Jose (nicknamed Jacobo) was what World Vision had printed on his sponsorship folder, a picture, a name and age, and a country in which he lived, the Dominican Republic.
Choosing to sponsor a child from the DR probably didn't change that family's life all that much. Sure, it may have been a sacrifice. And yes, it may have even sparked dinner time conversations about poverty or helping other people. But chances are, it likely didn't change the course of their lives, not like it affected Jacobo.
Though Jacobo was, at the time, much too young to fully grasp the impact of becoming a sponsor child with World Vision, he does remember feeling happy mostly because members of his family were happy.
As sponsor child, Jacobo became fully engaged in all that his local World Vision program offered—from anti-bullying campaigns and education workshops to sex-education programs and community-wide holiday celebrations—Jacobo's journey began to change, his life path began filling up bigger and more exciting opportunities.
As a teenager, Jacobo started volunteering as a youth promoter for a community health and wellness program, a World Vision-sponsored initiative in his community. Over time, while advocating healthy life choices to his peers, Jacobo's interest in health care, medicine, and helping people. His experiences as a youth wellness promoter led him to begin volunteering at a World Vision-sponsored wellness clinic, a health program that treated and cared for orphans who were HIV positive. Jacobo's love, concern, and desire to help people flourished here. Rather than settling down after high school, Jacobo decided that he wanted to be a medical doctor.
World Vision helped Jacobo pay for tuition. Moreover, World Vision not only helped pay for his education and provided him with extra money for living expenses, World Vision also purchased the med student a motorbike so he could commute back and forth to school.
Last month, I visited Jacobo's hometown, Batey Altagracia, Dominican Republic. Fifteen minutes after we arrived, I was photographing a father and his beautiful baby when the familiar roar of a motorbike approaching sends both of their heads turning toward the noise. Through my lens, I saw the father's face showcase faint but very real relief upon realizing who it was riding that bike.
It was 3:15 p.m., and Jose Nicolas Ramirez, the birth name of that onetime World Vision sponsor child, had just finished a full-day's work at one of the government's hospitals.
As he gets off his bike, I hear several people holler his name—"Dr. Jacobo!"
Jacobo is 29 now. And yes, he's a physician—Doctor Jacobo. He was offered some residency assignments at the major hospitals in Santo Domingo, where he studied. But he turned them all down so he could help people who couldn't afford to come to the big city hospitals for treatment.
Though he's wildly smiling and generously greeting members of his community, it's also obvious that he's warn out, exhausted by the day's work, by the stories he encounters, the stories of people who came to him in hopes of finding healing.
Rather than going home to sleep, Dr. Jacobo has driven 45 minutes to his hometown, where's he's met by more people, more stories, more seekers of healing. A small crowd gathers around the doctor as he walks a quarter mile toward a small pink and green building. He unlocks its doors and windows. People form a line at the door. And soon, one by one, Dr. Jacobo examines each person. He listens to every story. And to the best of his ability, he tries to offer the people of his town some hope, some healing.
And he doesn't charge a dime. Three days a week, every single week, Dr. Jacobo donates several hours of his time.
And that's not all—Dr. Jacobo is also a community leader, a vocal advocate for the people of his town, a voice who speaks up on behalf of the needs and demands of the people living in Batey Altagracia.
That's the power of child sponsorship through World Vision. Jose is one child who's story was forever changed, and now, because of his story, hundreds of people's stories are being changed.
Change a kid's life. Change a community's life. Sponsor a child from the Dominican Republic.

I struggle with this issue. My grandfather was John Sheppard Groce but he always went by J.S. This is a fact because I've seen both names in original documents from my dad's files and baby book ca 1901. Grandfather was mentioned in newspaper articles, county histories, advertisements etc. online.
For ancestors farther back, it would make my teeth itch to put five sources, with explanations, for a name and an aka in my database.
I'm thinking of sprucing up my research logs (or creating from notes) and sourcing there. In the database, a "see" footnote. For 15 years of research an awful task but needs to be done.

SO2Clean® is an innovative technology
Developed by Calabrian Corporation to produce high purity sulfur dioxide by burning sulfur in oxygen, rather than air. Using pure oxygen eliminates gas separation/operational complexities inherent with nitrogen and other inerts, significantly reducing equipment size/cost and the volume of gas that has to be conveyed. SO2Clean® has been used to produce sulfur dioxide commercially for over twenty years. Why is SO2Clean® superior to a Sulfur Burner? Superior Economics
- The installed cost of SO2Clean® unit is less than half of an equivalent burner…less equipment and steel
Electricity costs are less than 1/3 of those of a sulfur burner
- Incoming oxygen pressure drives gas flow…no blower!
- No inert gases to convey or vent
Lower operational costs more than offset the additional cost of the oxygen
- Reduced maintenance costs…no refractory , no blower, no burner management system, no air drier
- No corrosion…SO2Clean® runs in an excess of sulfur not oxygen i.e. no SO3 to make sulfuric acid to condense in the process.
- Significant reduction in cooling water and cooling water treatment costs

Using software to compare genetic information in bacterial isolates from animals and people, researchers have predicted that less than 10% of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 strains are likely to have the potential to cause human disease. In this study, the researchers applied machine learning to predict the zoonotic potential of bacterial isolates from the United Kingdom and the United States. "[O]ne of the cattle isolates (apart from outbreak trace-back isolates) achieved very high human association probabilities ( 0.9), potentially indicating that those posing a serious zoonotic threat are very rare," the authors write. As a consequence, experts could use targeted control strategies, including vaccination or eradication, in cattle carrying strains of high zoonotic potential, in order to better protect human health.
A team of researchers has found a new way to detect dangerous strains of bacteria, potentially preventing outbreaks of food poisoning. The team developed a method that utilizes machine learning and tested it with isolates of Escherichia coli strains. The team utilized machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn and analyze patterns. If researchers can quickly identify cattle herds carrying dangerous strains of E.coli, that particular herd can be treated or isolated before an outbreak occurs.
Machine learning can predict strains of bacteria likely to cause food poisoning outbreaks, research has found. The study – which focused on harmful strains of E. coli bacteria – could help public health officials to target interventions and reduce risk to human health. The team trained the software on DNA sequences from strains isolated from cattle herds and human infections in the UK and the US. The study highlights the potential of machine learning approaches for identifying these strains early and prevent outbreaks of this infectious disease.

Sediment filter
Sediment is any particulate matter that can be transported by fluid flow and which eventually is deposited as a layer of solid particles on the bed or bottom of a body of water or other liquid.
Water that has a high sediment level can change the aesthetic value of the finished beverage. It also can have a detrimental effect on the performance of your equipment. Sediment can cause blockages in the strainers, flow controls and even the solenoids inside your equipment.
A sediment filter acts as a sieve to remove these particles. The important thing to keep in mind about sediment filters is that they reduce sediment. They don't remove chemicals or heavy metals or make the water taste or smell better.
In general, sediment filters are rated by a "micron" number. This refers to the particle size that will be trapped by the filter.
The two main type of filters are bag filters and cartridges. Click here for a comparison between cartridge and bag filters, including examples of applications, materials and filtration rates.

Lenntech can also help you with brackish and seawater filters or filtration systems for optimum water purification.

Top 10: Most Valuable Premier League Attackers
Posted on May 1st, 2013 by Araz Heydariyehzadeh
Suarez and Van Perise have shown us this season that to be a top striker you need more than just goals in your locker as each man has produced a top notch volume of assists too, making them priceless to their teams.
In our analysis we looked at the total number of goals and assists produced by the top players in the league along with how many minutes of game time was required for each goal they contributed to their team's cause to come up with our list of most valuable attackers in the Premier League
The Impact Player
The top of the list is dominated by impact players, or those who haven't been playing regularly in the Premier League for very long. Whilst the records of Hernandez, Coutinho and Sturridge are massively impressive and the roles they have played have been highly valuable to their teams, neither player has accumulated enough minutes to make up 10 full matches yet, they would need to maintain these records for much longer periods of time to make our true top 10 list.
Van Persie King of the Hill
Van Perise is our bona fida number one, the Dutchman has contributed an astonishing 38 goals to Manchester United's title charge. He has managed to maintain his outstanding record of a goal for every 75 minutes of game time for a sustained period of time, he has appeared in every Premier League game this season. Anyone who disputes the fact that he has played the single, biggest role in landing the title for Sir Alex needs to think again.
Walcott Working
In the same way Ronaldo's departure lead to Wayne Rooney coming of age, RVP leaving The Emirates appears to have had the same effect on the Arsenal man. His all round game has improved dramatically this season and his contribution of 25 goals to Arsenal's cause means he needs just 5 and a half more minutes of game time than Van Perise for every goal he makes. Walcott is a worthy number 2 on our list and these numbers show that he perhaps doesn't get quite as much recognition as he deserves.
Lukaku Surprise
The biggest surprise on this list is the appearance of the pacey and powerful Lukaku. Given that he plays in a relatively low scoring side and is the only player on the list from outside of a top 5 club his return of 14 goals and 7 assists is outstanding. His record is made even more impressive when you consider the fact that he is just 19 years old. If Chelsea are once again looking to solve their striker problems they need look no further, the solution is currently on loan at West Brom and has a goal contribution which is better than a goal per game.
The Chelsea Boys
Mata and Hazard deservedly make the list. With Mata currently the league's assist leader he has also chipped in with a very hand 10 goals. Great going for a wing man and especially so considering the fact that he hasn't had any time off from football for so many years. With a proper break this summer he could come back even better next year. Hazard too deserves a mention, showing absolutely no signs of the first season syndrome that can often blight real talent when it arrives in England.
It would have bee a shock if Tottenham's main man didn't make the list and even though his goal contribution of a goal per game is world class there were a fair few ahead of him in our table. None the less, the style and drive with which he moves forward makes him a must for our list. One of those players than can win a game all by himself is completely priceless.
Rooney's Not So Terrible Season
It has often been stated how this has been one of Rooney's worst seasons on a United shirt. Well our stats suggest otherwise, his goal contribution ratio is actually better then Bale's. Despite the fact that he has often been deployed in experimental positions he has maintained a fantastic return.
City's Surprise
Two Manchester City players made this list, and neither of them was Aguero. Injury has blighted his season as well as a drop in form vs his first amazing season in a Blue shirt. As a result both his strike partners have managed brilliant returns, both of them needing at least 30 minutes less for each goal they have made for the team. Based on these stats Mancini would be better off sticking with Tevez and Dzeko rather than steam rollering those two out for his big name star now that he has returned from injury.
Our Top 10
Our top 10 is based mostly on the minutes per goal contributed, but we have also thrown in a dash of style, and a hint of the importance of the goals and assists they have made to compile our final list.
1. Van Persie
2. Walcott
3. Suarez
4. Mata
5. Lukaku
6. Bale
7. Tevez
8. Rooney
9. Dzeko
10. Podolski
Show the world you know the score!

Striped and spotted cats are stalking runways again in this week's trend report. Click here for more Fall/Winter 2013 Trending!
Hear those roars? Animal prints, though never truly extinct in the fashion world, are making a comeback this fall. Through the decades, we have seen their popularity ebb and flow, from the '40s to the '80s to a brief showing in the '90s (shown above and below). In 2013, however, wild patterns are attacking more than just wardrobes, showing up in tattoos, nail art, bedding, dishes, and even Justin Bieber's leopard print Audi. We'll stick to apparel today, and reserve comment on the customized car.
From big name designers, we spotted the look in outerwear, separates, handbags, and shoes. In addition to new items, many vintage enthusiasts are resurrecting animal print looks from the past, as well. Motifs may resemble fur from leopards, cheetahs, tigers, giraffes, and countless other exotic creatures. Once a show of status and wealth, the extravagant look has been tamed with the use of faux fur in the modern age.
Following are designs which caught our eye on Fall runways, plus buy-it-now pieces. But first, a word to the wise – wearing head to toe animal print can be a fashion disaster if not handled purrfectly. We like just a touch of the wild, though some may prefer to pile it on.

United, Revolution Battle to 1-1 Tie
Published 8:00 pm, Friday, June 20, 2003
Hristo Stoitchkov's first goal as a member of D.C. United earned a 1-1 tie Saturday night with the New England Revolution.
Stoitchkov, acquired from Chicago in an offseason trade, erased a 1-0 deficit in the 31st minute as United exploited a poor clearing attempt.
Marco Etcheverry controlled the loose ball and passed left to Galin Ivanov, who saw Stoitchkov making a run down the left wing. Ivanov fed Stoitchkov, who converted a hard, rising shot from just inside the penalty area.
D.C., deprived of its first two-game winning streak of the season, remained unbeaten (2-0-4) at RFK Stadium.
The Revolution are 0-1-1 after a 3-0-2 unbeaten streak. Lifetime at RFK Stadium, New England is 5-10-0.
Brian Kamler put the Revolution ahead 1-0 in the 24th minute, finishing off a counterattack after D.C. failed on a close-in scoring chance.
Kamler accepted a cross-field feed from Joe Franchino and converted on a left-footed shot from eight yards out on the right side.

If Adam Levine was looking to "Love Somebody" who looks good in her underwear, well...
Mission accomplished.
The Maroon 5 singer's fiancée, Behati Prinsloo, proceeded today's engagement announcement by posting a photo to Instagram in which she's wearing nothing but a bra and panties.
TheGreenTeam/Splash News
Well, nothing but a bra, panties and giant Mickey Mouse hands and ears.
"Oh, snap," the Victoria's Secret Angel wrote yesterday along with the pic.
If the picture was indeed just taken Monday then Prinsloo was already engaged because, according to Levine's rep, he popped the question over the weekend in L.A.
Alas, there's just no glimpsing a ring under those big cartoon gloves!
Levine reportedly started dating Prinsloo in May 2012. They parted ways briefly earlier this year, but obviously the reconciliation stuck.
He said on Oprah's Last Chapter in June: "I want to probably be married at some point. I don't feel pressure to get married. I think that when it's time, it's going to be obvious and I'm going to do it and I'm going to really enjoy it."

People love the idea of cross-platform development for iOS/Android or try to use a familiar language to develop apps for either or both platforms. There are many solutions and platforms out there and each of them has pros and cons, here we will try to name a few and analyse them: MonoTouch, Appcelerator, RubyMotion, PhoneGap, HTML5, Java2ObjC…
The pro is quite clear, it supports both platforms at the same time, you only need 1 guy with 1 skill (either it is C#/Javascript/HTML5 or Ruby) to learn and quickly produce apps for both platforms at the same time.
The cons are quite depending on which you choose to go with, but we will analyse them in some aspects: easy for maintenance, native performance, delay for update, community support, pricing/bankrupt, talent hiring…
1. Easy for Maintenance
I found some of the platforms are challenging to maintain, just to name a few: appcelerator and phone gap… With javascript and not available debugger, when it comes to debugging, you will spend as twice/three times as much to debug. Other platforms do support debugging well like MonoTouch or RubyMotion…
One thing that most cross-platform framework has problem is that it adds another layer of complexity into your system. If some bug happens or something does not run as intended, you have three times of works. You have to check if the bug is your bug, is your framework's bug, the interaction between the framework and the iOS/Android platform, and finally, if that is a bug of iOS/Android. Let's take a simple example:
iOS had an old bug with rotation and I encountered that bug when I tried to use Appcelerator to build my simple project. It took me the whole day to find that bug was an Apple bug, there is a work around in Apple way but that is not well supported by Appcelerator….
2. Native Performance
When it comes to native performance, I can say that most of the third-party frameworks do well in this area. However, HTML5 is not an excel when it comes to this, or at least, not yet. Facebook has shown us an important lesson with its decision to be back to native to improve its performance. I think that in the future, when the WebKit, the hardware and the requirement for a good app has matched each other, more and more apps will be developed using HTML5 and other open web technologies. Simply, because it is open.
So, if you are building something simple and may grow well over a long time, you may consider the hybrid approach to combine HTML5 and native code. This could work well with if you can integrate it with the web service at your backend.
3. Delay for update/community support/pricing
All of them come to the same problem of third-party frameworks, that middle complexity layer that you add into your project. Most of the frameworks will update quite fast when Apple release a new version, except many minor bugs. I used to have code that is working well with Apple in the iOS4 release and stop working when iOS5 is released. The problem gets worse when most iOS5 beta still works well with my apps. So, when I try to run our app on iOS5 final release, I get panic. I don't know what is wrong with my code, is it the middle framework, is it just Apple's release has changed something. I finally figure out that Apple has changed some rules in their API and that affects the old way the middle framework is working. I need to wait for their update to get it work.
Most of the middle framework has their premium supports but you either have to pay more or you have to wait a hell long of time. And most of the communities are a fraction of either the iOS/Objc communities or Android communities. At there, at least somebody has worked with your problem, somebody tested and figured a work around.
4. Bankrupt?
There are quite a lot of third-party frameworks around, and I am quite sure many of them will go bankrupt or stop working after a while. Or the price can go up, or the support rate gets slow down. You don't know what the hell is waiting for you there. If your product is very important, be careful, you don't want to throw tens of thousands of lines of code away and start all over again. These middle frameworks code, unfortunately, are not much reusable. You can generate Objective-C/Java code from them and then continue working from that. But, believe me, reading, understanding and maintaining those generated code are as twice as hard as you write it from the beginning. I don't say all of them may have problems, but be careful which framework you pick, how long your project will last, and make sure there is a good match. If your project is pretty longer than 3-5 years, maybe thinking deep about it…
5. Talent Hiring
This is a people management, a project management issue. I remember 3 years ago, finding a good iOS developer is as hard as hell. Although it is easier now, it may not make sense to have a whole team of engineers in Ruby/C# and 1 guy in iOS and 1 guy in Android (or 1 guy for both iOS/Android). That means you have to feed 2 more guys, training them with company's culture, to understand the domain knowledge that you have. And when things grow, each of these 3 teams grows. Another solution is that 1 of the web guy need to learn both iOS and Android development. That's why it may make sense for you to reuse your team's talent. It is also a good thing to consider to have a guy with HTML5 to approach the app in hybrid (HTML5+native code) model.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett liked the way his team responded to "situational football" in Saturday night's preseason game against the Vikings.
He has stressed an understanding of scenarios to the Cowboys in practice.
"That play at the end of the game was a good example," Garrett said. "They catch the ball inbounds, we tackle them, the clock runs out. Understanding the situation, handling it the right way."
Two of Garrett's goals are to make the Cowboys a good fourth-quarter team and to make sure they know the value of turnovers, such as the blocked field goal by Gerald Sensebaugh and return for a touchdown by Alan Ball.
"When you make a big play in the kicking game like we did – obviously blocking a field goal and running it back for a touchdown is a huge play, and then when you create a couple of turnovers and you take care of the football – you have a good chance of winning ballgames," Garrett said. "So I think that was a good thing for us, to understand as a team."

|Forum → Saiyans = Humans
I know this may sound weird, but I think that Saiyans are Human. This is because Saiyans and Humans can reproduce and make fertile offspring (Gohan, for example) and if two beings are able to do that, then they are of the same species. Therefore I believe that Saiyans are just an isolated race of Humans that have developed unique traits, but are human none the less. They are comparable to pygmies in that they are still human but because they have been isolated, they developed differently from other humans. I have already changed the pages for Saiyans and Humans to be more accurate according to this. Tell me what you think about this. 22.214.171.124 14:49, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Just so you know
By the way, it was me, Chiaotzu, who posted originally. I just was not logged in when I posted.
An Intriguing Idea
I think this is a great idea! There is of course no proof, but I think that your theory could certainly be true. With humans like Krillin ending up more powerful than Saiyans like Raditz, the Saiyans have few differences from the Humans of Dragon Ball, besides location of course. The tails, which can transform the saiyans to their Oozaru state are basically the only difference. Years of inbreeding with powerful humans could explain why the Saiyans are born so strong, and who's to say that Uub wouldn't have gone Super Human if he was ever as angry as Goku after Krillin was killed? Though your theory will likely never be proven nor disproven, it is very interesting indeed. -- .10X.Ka.me.ha.me.ha.....talk.....contrib. 08:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it is the other way around
I think it i would be the other way around, the weaker saiyans were send away to earth not knowing who they were and not needing to fight grew weak, evolution started to kick in getting rid of the tails branding themself humans. Then the tail gene disapper with the generation to come. Think about it the saiyans having tails give them more power, humans have no tail they are weaker. Elder Kai Gohan 00:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
If the saiyans came to Earth they would've destroyed all life, making it impossible to live on, let alone procreate the human/ saiyan thing could be a great theory but the saiyan/human thing is pretty crooked since as I said before they would've destroyed tyhe planet instead of mating on it.MacCooler 20:58, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
- not if they were too weak. and regarding the topic starter, some animals here on our Earth can procreate even if they are not from the same species.—This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) Please sign your posts with ~~~~ next time!
Yes animals on earth can breed if they're a different species, but they don't produce fertile offspring and as we've seen Gohan has fathered Pan, so humans and saiyans are scientifically the same species...can't wait till Roshi goes super saiyan!
It cant be because the saiyans have their own planet. that is a good observation be i think that is wrong. they are from 2 totally different planets. Plus the saiyans have tails and have powerful transformations. i think they are a like but not the same.
Yeah very true. Maybe they're just two different species that just happened to evolve in similar ways (that or Toriyama just didn't think about it as much as us lol).
correct me if im wrong but wasnt the Saiyans home planet never revealed? didnt they land on planet Plant, take it over and rename it Vegeta?-B0N3$
--Final Form Wedge 16:45, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
But Goku was sent to eradicate Earth,rembember?
Sorry,double post......
Yes this explains why we have Ligers here on Earth, Lions + Tigers = Ligers.
I totally agree
Yes, I've been thinking about that too, and I came up with the exact same conclusion. Your theory is supported by Biology, though.
SSJ4 Vegito's Way
I think Saiyans and Humans have a similar relationship as Wolfs and Dogs they are Different enough to be seperate species, but close enough to make fertile offspring. The Legendary SSJ4 Vegito 18:51, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
Fertile? DERP! Tjakari Asks... Is there a problem 21:35, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
Actually... Wolfs and dogs are members of the same specie: Canis Lupus. Donaldo 03:12, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Pure Luck
Judging by all the other species seen in the series, I would say that it was just luck or evolution(cause their origin could be earth like).
But the only real similarity is the humanoid thing and the reproduction thing.
That's how I see it. Trunten 3900 22:17, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
vegeta said that there where othere Saiyan half breeds.
If thats true then either there are more humans out there or there are breeding is easier then you think
By the way you place the whole thing i have to disagree on something Sayians are not Humans but Humans are Sayians.
Your theory has 2 mistakes
1) By the time Sayians evolve the technology (that happened at the end of Sayians-Tafle war) and could send sayian baby's to earth it was 2 late because the war between sayians and taffles end at year 730 and Goku was sent to earth in year 737 so i don't thing the whole evolution to earth could change in 7 years.
2) Since Sayians could not go to earth until the age 730 it was impossible to send baby's to destroy earth and change the natural evolution of humans and don't forget only when frieza take over planet vegeta Sayians involved on planets trade.
As a conclusion i don't thing that sayians and humans have any relationship . I agree with Super Sayian 4 Vegeto way with the example he gave with dogs and wolfs.
And Finally i don't thing that Sayians and Humans have any relationship because in GT we saw many planets that the residencies was also human like
I actually like the theory that Saiyan DNA can mutate to match others when it's sperm and possibly egg. That would make it a lot easier for them to pass on their genes in times of desperation, which is helpful for a race of people that are constantly fighting and dying. That also explains how Tarble and Gure could possibly mate while the Goku and Vegeta are with humans. --DARK 20:17, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
Clever. I like this theory. Shakuran13 21:30, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
I like it too, but that's extremely difficult in evolutionary terms.Trunten 3900 00:52, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
You should know by now Toriyama doesn't care about real world biology. Tails as a recessive trait... --DARK 01:17, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
Well, it's a manga. Shakuran13 02:30, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
Here's my theory. Evolution diverged some human-like species into the Tuffles and Saiyans while they were on Planet Plant. Long before the Saiyan-Tuffle war, a handful of Tuffles used their superior technology to travel through space to Earth where they colonized, millions of years before the present time. That would explain why the humans of Earth have such advanced technology yet still live in the time of dinosaurs. DBZ takes place millions of years in the past and Humans = Tuffles = rather close relatives of Saiyans. Janemba4eva 20:37, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Common theories and misconceptions:
1) The original Saiyan planet was never revealed. It was probably Earth.
-No, the Original Super Saiyan destroyed the original Saiyan planet. They moved to Planet Plant after that. Read Dark's explanation for more.
2) It can't be, the Saiyans sent Goku to Earth to destroy it.
-Even if the Saiyan were Earthlings (or vice versa) they probably would've forgotten. There was very little interaction between Earthlings and Saiyans (Major Metallitron saw that Kid Goku was not human, yet he didn't know the species).
3) The Saiyans would've destroyed Earth.
-Not necessarily. Did they destroy Planet Plant? Even if weaker Saiyans went to Earth, they wouldn't go on a rampage (unless they went Ozaru). Maybe the moon on Earth didn't exist back then, or it was destroyed by one of the Saiyans. Either way, they're not stupid enough to destroy their home unless they couldn't control their power like the OSSJ.
4) Saiyans were originally Earthlings.
-How would they have gotten there? Dr. Brief needed Saiyan technology to get to Namek. (Well, we technically don't know which quadrant Planet Plant/Original Saiyan Planet was in) How could they have advanced technology, but then become less advanced? Maybe there was an apocalypse, but I doubt it.
5) Humans can go Super Saiyan.
-If Saiyans were originally Humans that gained tails and extraordinary power, wouldn't they have also obtained the SSJ ability through evolution as well to adapt to all other opposing aliens (like Frieza's race, Tuffles, etc.)? Even if it was the other way around, wouldn't they have lost their SSJ ability along with their tails and power?
6) They evolved the same.
-Wow. That's a huge coincidence! As previously state by another user, Akira Toriyama (creator of the DB franchise) probably didn't think of it as much as we are. True, Recoome looked incredibly like a human. But again, coincidence.
- Possible theories and ideas:
1) Seperate yet breedable
-The theory that states Humans and Saiyans are seperate species, yet able to breed like dogs and wolves is possible. (" I think Saiyans and Humans have a similar relationship as Wolfs and Dogs they are Different enough to be seperate species, but close enough to make fertile offspring."-The Legendary SSJ4 Vegito)
Actually... Wolfs and dogs are members of the same specie: Canis Lupus. Donaldo 03:12, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
2) Tuffles=Humans
-A very good theory is that Tuffles (a very advanced race) came to Earth, explaining why the Humans in DB and DBZ are so advanced even though they are millions of years before our time, they have better technology then us. ("Here's my theory. Evolution diverged some human-like species into the Tuffles and Saiyans while they were on Planet Plant. Long before the Saiyan-Tuffle war, a handful of Tuffles used their superior technology to travel through space to Earth where they colonized, millions of years before the present time. That would explain why the humans of Earth have such advanced technology yet still live in the time of dinosaurs. DBZ takes place millions of years in the past and Humans = Tuffles = rather close relatives of Saiyans.")
3) Adaptatable DNA
-Another great theory is that Saiyan DNA can change in the sperm/egg when breeding with other species when in time of near extinction (like the Namekians) or desperation (such as when fighting a war, for mass production; because it is stated that the Saiyans were evolving quickly, in terms of strength and combat skill).
"I actually like the theory that Saiyan DNA can mutate to match others when it's sperm and possibly egg. That would make it a lot easier for them to pass on their genes in times of desperation, which is helpful for a race of people that are constantly fighting and dying. That also explains how Tarble and Gure could possibly mate while the Goku and Vegeta are with humans.")
4) Other Saiyan half-breeds
-If the third theory is true, than wouldn't there be other Saiyan half-breeds? An example being Tarble and his wife. Would they be able to transform into an Ozaru or Super Saiyan? Would they still have the Zenkai?
Could there possibly be cross breed between a Saiyan and a member of Frieza's race? Tri-clops? Namekians (wait, they don't have...yeah)? Yardrats? Kanassans? Demons? Konatsians (have you realized that if you scramble the last five letters it's asians)? Just imagine a Super Saiyan Frieza, Tien, or Tapion. An Ozaru Yardrat or Demon. Am I pushing it? Probably. But it's a cool thought.
-Goku Jr
I think that the saiyan ancestors could have traveled to Earth but had regressed and lost all their power (tails)
-random add on
i also love the idea that they are somewhat decended or related, this might also apply to the fact that they have no language barrier in there travels. namekians clearly have there own language but there is what seems to be a common universal language at play.
you're all thinking to deep guys. Saiyans and humans being able to reproduce is one of the major holes in DBZ. It's a fun one though, and that's why it is in there in the first place. Toriyama just wanted to make a cool story, he didn't think about biology and stuff like that.
I gotta agree with the post right above mine. While I love DBZ, the science behind a lot of the things that happen is pretty shoddy. The fact that almost everyone in the universe seems to speak the same language is another rather large plot hole, and as a physics guy the logic behind the time traveling in the Cell arc has always seemed shaky to me. It doesn't really bother me though, DBZ isn't supposed to be hard SF. Freeza Burn 16:28, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
The saiyans and humans were probably ancient tuffle colonies, one of which adapted to 10x earth's gravity, the other at earths gravity... orthe tuffles and saiyans were a human colony crated before a large civilizational collapse on both earth and the saiyans home planet, after which the tuffles after loosing contact for hundreds of years, forgot about earth and her colonies.
This is GOKU125 's thoughts
The idea of saiyans being human because they can both reproduce is good but isnt true because they come from a completley different planet, but not all low class saiyans get sent to Earth and evolution would never kick in because the only way a Saiyan to lose their tail is if it got ripped/cut off, also Goku being the only "low class saiyan" that was sent to Earth might have forgotten who he was but he still trained and became strong only to find out what he truly was. The only time his tail came off was when his friends cut it off, but then later regrown in dbgt.
Your theory makes no sense
Saiyans and humans hav almost no similarites other than them both being humonoid. Saying, that they are the same thing would be like saying that tuffles and Recoome are human because they look human. Not to mention that THIS IS JUST A TV SHOW!!!!! Akira probably made them look alike since he had already made goku look like a human before saiyans were revealed, they were gonna mate with humans so they might as well look like them, and he didn't want them to stick out too much from regular humans. They can reproduce. so what? it's a show; it's not supposed to be realistic or scientifically possible.
- I think the tails can only regrow when the sayans are kids. Donaldo 03:21, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
DB Universe's biology is different than the real world's biology, and Akira probably didnt think on everything, like this. And btw, not 100% of hybrids animals are infertile.
Well like it says mabye humans are only related to sayins a little bit and thats how humans dont have tails and if a human is lower than 1/4 sayin that he/she can not become a super sayin.
I think we're forgetting about Zenkai. Saiyans have the ability to grow more powerful after every scuffle or coming near-death. Humans do indeed need to struggle much more for their battle power to be raised. However, this is all technical. By appearance, Saiyans are very similar to humans, which is why I prefer the alien races. - PrinceZarbon talk contrib 17:46, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
My theory
Saiyans and Humans would be members of the same species since they can produce fertile offspring, however because of the seperation of planets and the slight differences in physiology Saiyans would have to be classified as a sub-species of humans (or possibly humans as a subspecies of saiyans)
This could have happened as a result of some genetic tinkering in the past (some primitive saiyans visiting Earth or what have you) or the case of convergent evolution at a genotypic level.
Lets look at the differences between the two species; which are few but significant. Saiyans are naturally stronger, and more muscular; even as children. If Gohan had been 100% human then that intense training with Piccolo as a child would have led to severe musuclar degeneration, possibly crippling him for life (the same with most of the characters actually considering the intense gravity training Goku and Vegeta had gone through), however Saiyans have evolved to be more adaptable as well as being just stronger. Humans can do this too, although we adapt slower there are some humans that can have those same muscular traits if they are born with one copy of their myostatin-producing gene missing or inert (myostatin is the protein in which prevents muscles from growing too large too fast, if both copies of the gene don't work then the animal would develop severely large strong muscles, but without the heart/lung capacity to support it and thus be danaged; however if only one copy is missing then they can be naturally athletic and very powerful [look up Liam Hoekstra and the German superbaby]) Saiyans most likely produce less myostatin than humans do, this is apparent by both their strength and metabolism as individuals with excess follistatin (myostatin inhibiting protein) are incredibly lean and have a hard time gaining fat as well as having a massive metabolism.
Aside from the metabolism and strength Saiyans are also born with tails that allow them to be stronger (unless they train intensively after their tail is removed) and allow them to transform into Oozaru when exposed to Blutz waves; from this we can speculate that their tail is more than just a tail and probably contains a gland inside that acts to increase a saiyan's strength proportionate to the level of bluts waves they are exposed to (very little being the default, while an excess causes a complete transfomration) and since Saiyan metabolisms are much faster than humans, removing this gland (and therefore the hormone(s) secreted) causes a nearly instant loss of the benefits it gives. From this, we can speculate further that if a human were to be exposed to the tail hormone they would experience temporary saiyan-like changes (although on a lower level); however this may not be true as Earth humans may not have the necesary genes to activate the benefits of the gland.
So basically, my theory is that as a result of convergent evolution, Humans and Saiyans ended up being members of the same species with only a few minor differences (I intentionally left out Super Saiyan transformations because that is limited to only a few saiyans, not to mention that the hybrids can acheive it much sooner than the actual full-blooded saiyans)

Two Different Planets
Here's a thought. It is very possible that two similar beings formed on different planets that could cross breed without any of them having anything in common. Since as far as we know right now we are the only intelligent life in the universe. Until that day comes we may find that there are billions of humaniod type species that we can breed with. Also, I can disprove this theory since King Kia who over sees the earth and Planet Vegeta never mention any connection. While he was wrong on the details of how Vegeta was destroyed he would at least have an idea if the Tuffles or Saiyans were sent to Earth.
