Tips to look Photogenic
You don't need to be a model to be photogenic. Anyone can be photogenic. Here are some photography poses tips that will make you look photogenic.
- Be Natural, stand straight. Tuck in your tummy.
- Put one leg in front of the other. This will make your legs looked longer. Bent your knees a little, but do not lock your knees. Your feet should be pointing to the front.
- The shoulders are slightly arched back so your breasts look perky.
- Rotate your shoulders 3/4 to the front. This will make you and your waist look thinner.
- Lower your chin slightly.
- Look directly in the lens of the camera. Flirt with the camera. Imagine that the camera is your boyfriend.
- Let your hands be free. Try not to pose with your purse or glasses in your hands. You are the subject, not the object that you are carrying.
- Practice. The Hollywood divas were not born like that; they all learned it and continue to refine their skills through practices.

We have an issue like this with a prominent role in our guild. There are a handful of people who simply cannot play their class. As a casual guild that raids, we can't exclude them from participating, but I have to wonder, Where do we draw the line?
The fact is, their participation is disparaging 9 or 24 others. The wipes at their hands are preventing us from having an awesome time in the game. We've tried to help them on numerous occasion, and they are either too casual or too inebriated to care.
I think it's our charter as guild members to help those holding us back to excel so that we can all succeed, but if that help is going nowhere, I personally would like to see tough yet necessary decisions made -- for the good of the guild.

Both crude and refined petroleum usually consist of hundreds of chemical substances. Common petroleum products together with their basic characteristics are shown in Table 1. Chemically the components of crude petroleum can be divided into two classes: alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The aromatic hydrocarbons include the environmentally suspect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which occur in relatively low concentrations in most petroleum substances. Refined petroleum products can contain the alkenes which are prepared synthetically and are somewhat similar to the alkanes in environmental properties.
All of these products are transported in Australia or manufactured in Australian petrochemical plants. In addition crude petroleum is shipped into Australia and around the Australian coast. Marine oil fields operate in Bass Strait and on the North West shelf at present with others being developed in other marine areas. Most of these activities have generated discharges during production processes as well as accidental spills. Petroleum substances also occur in relatively low concentrations in sewage (Connell 1974) and urban run-off , but the total amount discharged is relatively high due to the large volumes involved.
Properties which influence the behaviour of petroleum compounds in the environment are listed in Tables 1 and 2. The natural gases and petrol have relatively low boiling points and evaporate readily from the surface of water. As a general rule they evaporate within 24 hours. The other petroleum products exhibit increasing persistence in the environment with increasing number of carbon atoms and boiling point. At the extreme end of the range the asphalts and residual oils exhibit long-term persistence, usually over several decades.

Figure 1 distribution patterns of a chemical in different phases in the environment. The equilibrium constants (K values) are shown between phases and concentrations in a phase at equilibrium (C values) indicated.
Some physicochemical and biological properties of typical representatives of the alkane and aromatic hydrocarbon groups are shown in Table 2. All members exhibit relatively low solubility in water with benzene (a common petrol component) being the most soluble at 1780 mg/L. The octanol/water partition coefficient (KOW) is an important property reflecting the lipid solubility of a substance. The most biologically active substances, in terms of toxicity and bio-accumulation, have log KOW values between 2 and 6, and are referred to as lipophilic compounds. Many hydrocarbons fall into this group as illustrated by the data in Table 2.
As a group the alkanes have very low toxicity which is reflected by the low toxicity of n-hexane and n-decane recorded in Table 2. On the other hand the aromatic compounds (benzene, naphthalene and benzo(a)pyrene) are described as 'relatively toxic' to aquatic organisms. Persistence in biota is low for the n-alkanes but higher for the aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly the PAHs (e.g. benzo(a)pyrene, Table 2). It is important to note that many of the aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly the PAHs, are carcinogens which have been implicated in many a wide range of human health problems and also disease problems with aquatic organisms (Grimmer 1983).
Another important environmental property of the PAHs is that they have strong bio-concentration capacities in aquatic organisms. For example naphthalene, the simplest PAH, has a bio-concentration factor (concentration in fish:concentration in water) of 426, while for benzo(a)anthracene it is 10 000 and for pyrene, 2690 (Connell 1990; Connell & Schüürmann 1988). Also, the PAHs and other hydrocarbons have strong affinities with bottom sediments, dependent on the amount of organic matter present. Gravels and coarse sands have little capacity to take up hydrocarbons whereas silts and muds with a high organic matter content have a strong capacity to take up lipophilic hydrocarbons. This is reflected in the high KOC values (concentration in organic carbon containing matter in sediment:concentration in water) which range up to about 106.
In the discussion above the environmental properties of petroleum are discussed in terms of the individual substances. Petroleum products occur as complex mixtures of individual substances. The environmental properties of petroleum products can be inferred from the properties of the individual substances but these may be modified to some extent by the presence of other substances.
The marine environment can be considered to consist of several phases, as illustrated in Figure 1, and when a lipophilic chemical is discharged to the marine environment it distributes into these phases. In general terms the sediments and biota have a relatively strong affinity for lipophilic hydrocarbons, and concentrations in these phases would be expected to be relatively high. On the other hand concentrations in water would be expected to be low, due principally to the very low water solubility of lipophilic hydrocarbons (Kayal & Connell 1990; Connell & Hawker 1986).
An outline of the concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons reported in Australian waters and sediments is shown in Table 3. It is noteworthy that, as expected, the concentrations in water are very low compared with those in sediments. As a general rule less than about 1 mg L-1 total hydrocarbons in water, as are observed in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), represent background levels . Port Phillip and Westernport Bays exhibit background levels but with some zones of contamination. PAHs are natural components of the environment and occur in trace concentrations in rivers. The concentrations in rivers reported in Table 3 represent levels which occur in these waters due to urban and sewage discharges and also there are sometimes petrochemical industry activities in the vicinity. Similar general observations to those on waters can be made regarding the sediments. However Rowley Shelf in the north-west of WA exhibits a low level of petroleum contamination in a region where urban and sewage discharges are very low: such contamination as occurs is believed to be associated with the various activities associated with the extraction of petrochemicals in the area.

The observed occurrence of petroleum hydrocarbons in biota in Australian waters is shown in Table 4. Background concentrations are difficult to define since many animals and plants produce hydrocarbons which may be difficult to distinguish from petroleum hydrocarbons. The levels in GBR biota probably represent background levels, with corals exhibiting the highest concentrations of up to 3.1 mg/kg (lipid weight). Clearly the fish and birds from south Qld were heavily contaminated, with levels up to 270 and 1038 mg/kg, respectively . Westernport and Port Phillip Bays contain zones where biota are effectively free of contamination as well as zones where biota are contaminated . Rowley Shelf (WA) biota, as with the sediments, seems to exhibit a low level of petroleum contamination.
Oil spills of various sizes occur periodically in the Australian marine environment. Fortunately most of these have been on a small scale or have occurred in circumstances resulting in limited damage to the marine environment. For example, incidents of two relatively large spills from vessels, the Ocean Grandeur (Torres Strait) and Kirki (WA), occurred under conditions which resulted in natural dispersal of the spilled oil to the open sea. Nevertheless these larger incidents have the potential to cause immense damage, particularly to intertidal and subtidal ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass communities and so on. Additionally, major spills at sea may have less obvious but serious long-term consequences for marine communities, such as detrimental effects on planktonic phases of marine organisms.
There are several reported investigations of the effects on mangrove communities in Botany Bay of smaller scale oil spills originating from oil handling facilities (Allaway et al. 1985; Anink et al. 1985; Allaway 1982). Seedling mortalities, defoliation of lower zones of trees and shrubs, mortalities of invertebrates and other adverse effects are described over areas of up to 73 hectares. These spill investigations are in accord with several controlled experiments demonstrating the toxicity of crude oils to Australian mangroves (McGuinness 1990; Wardrop et al. 1987).
Although oil spills of a relatively minor size occur frequently in GBR waters, there is a lack of any systematic investigation of their effects on coral reef ecosystems (Craik 1991). Similar oil spills occur generally throughout the Australian marine environment but there are few scientific reports on chronic or acute ecological impacts. Birds and other animals utilising surface waters, such as seals, are vulnerable to spilled oil and reports of oiled birds occasionally appear in the media (Anon 1992). In addition the toxicity of various oil spill dispersants to Australian marine biota has been demonstrated (Wardrop et al. 1987; McManus & Connell 1972). Thorhaug (1992) has recently reviewed the impact of oil spills and clean-up procedures on selected marine communities in international waters, and Miller (1982) has reviewed the lethal and sublethal effects of petroleum hydrocarbons in the marine environment.
The occurrence of different concentrations of petroleum in the marine environment was reviewed in the previous section. Adverse effects can result from the occurrence of petroleum substances in seafood. In many instances both in Australia and overseas, contamination has resulted in 'tainting', rendering the seafood unacceptable to consumers. A well known Australian example of tainting of fish, with resultant economic damage to the fishery comes, from southern Qld (Connell 1979, 1978, 1975, 1974; Shipton et al. 1970). In the 1960s sea mullet became contaminated in the Brisbane River and subsequently moved along the coast on their spawning 'run', causing tainted fish to occur along a considerable length of coast. The source of hydrocarbon contamination was an untreated sewage discharge, but the introduction of sewage treatment has essentially eliminated this problem. Any seafood listed in Table 4 as containing petroleum hydrocarbons has the potential to become tainted if concentrations of the causative substances reach high enough levels (Connell & Miller 1981a).
Petroleum hydrocarbons causing tainting usually contain a reasonable proportion of PAHs and other aromatic hydrocarbons. Many of those substances are believed to be human carcinogens (Grimmer 1983). However the dose received by consumers is usually low since contaminated seafood comprise only a small proportion of the diet of most populations (Connell & Miller 1981b).
Several responses can be expected from organisms exposed to sublethal levels of petroleum hydrocarbons. For example Chapman et al. (1988) found that gastropods exhibited reduced activity on exposure to sublethal concentrations of diesel. A range of detrimental physiological responses are possible, resulting in histopathological effects such as abnormal growth, occurrence of tumours and so on. These have not had extensive evaluation in Australian waters. Effects on larval stages of marine species may be significant: however the necessary systematic studies have not been conducted.
A range of chemical, histopathological and ecological indicators can be used to evaluate the effects of petroleum in Australian waters. The most valuable chemical indicator is the occurrence of petroleum in sediments. Water is not a satisfactory medium for monitoring, since concentrations of petroleum are very low and occurrence can be changed by weather conditions and seasonal changes. On the other hand sediments exhibit relatively high concentrations and are not affected by the factors mentioned previously.
Current results suggest that in Australian waters petroleum contamination comes from urban areas and areas where petrochemical industries operate. A national program of monitoring sediments in selected areas would be appropriate on a geographic and periodic time scale which relates to potential changes in petroleum status. In areas where elevated concentrations were detected histopathological investigations should be instituted. Should this indicate significant effects, an ecological program monitoring population, community and ecosystem effects would be appropriate.
In this work it would also be valuable to establish background information against which changes in the parameters mentioned could be evaluated. Levels of petroleum hydrocarbons and related histopathological effects which occur in a representative locations relatively free from petroleum-related activities would provide a suitable background baseline.
A publicly available national marine environment database to record this information would enhance the value of the data. It could then be used to determine management strategies in affected areas as well for the development of discharge standards and criteria.
A continued effort is needed to manage petroleum spillages and reduce them to the minimum level practicable. Specific attention is required to ensure discharge levels of petroleum from sewerage plants and industrial operations are specified in licence conditions and kept to a minimum. Little attention has been paid to urban run-off as a source of petroleum and other pollutants in Australian cities. There should be encouragement for local governments to introduce programs to improve the quality of urban run-off. While conducting these programs there is a need for the development of more soundly based standards and criteria to protect the marine environment from damage.
Petroleum spillages occur periodically in the Australian marine environment. The adverse effects of these are difficult to evaluate, but available observations indicate limited damage to mangrove ecosystems and seabirds has occurred. However spills, sewage and urban run-off contribute sublethal levels of petroleum substances to the marine environment. Elevated concentrations of petroleum occur in water, sediment and biota adjacent to urban locations or in the vicinity of petrochemical industries but are at very low levels elsewhere. These sublethal levels have had a number of adverse effects, including tainting of seafood, and have the potential to cause detrimental histopathological changes to organisms. There is a need to establish the background occurrence and effects of petroleum in some representative locations and to monitor vulnerable areas. More control and management of petroleum in sewage, industrial discharges and urban run-off is needed.

New Blessed Peter Faber Jesuit Community Opens on Foster Street
ByThe Blessed Peter Faber Jesuit Community, a space dedicated to the formation of Jesuit priests, recently opened on Foster Street.
The five buildings that make up the grounds are now home to an international group of 75 Jesuits, whose main apostolate is theological reflection, scholarship and research. Formerly the Weston Jesuit Community, the group includes many students and teachers from the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.
Construction of the new community was a partnership between BC and the USA Assistancy of the Society of Jesus; while Boston College owns the physical land and financed the construction project, the Assistancy holds a mortgage on the buildings.
Last month, the Jesuits — some of them having lived in Harvard Square for 40 years ‑ moved into their new residence.
Beyond a centralized living space, the Faber Community boasts a community library, conference area, administrative space and a chapel that can accommodate a Mass for all residents. The property also has four houses of living space, each equipped with a small chapel, kitchen, living room, dining space and small recreation room.
Rev. Richard Roos, SJ, minister of the Blessed Peter Faber Jesuit Community, said the new community — built in less than a year and under budget — allows for relationships to develop more organically among the Jesuits. Prior to the move, the community was scattered throughout Harvard Square, he said, making it difficult to make connections.
Now, residents — some from Africa, South America, Spain and Portugal — mingle on stone patios and around grills, and have the opportunity to congregate on a vast green space that makes up a central courtyard of the Faber property.
"By living all together here, with a common space in the center, it is much easier for the members to interact with one another. It doesn't involved getting into a car and driving. We are within seconds of each other," said Fr. Roos.
"The proximity to STM is also a big improvement. Our members no longer have to commute across T lines from Harvard to Lake Street to take classes or simply get a book from the library."
Both ordained and pre-ordained members also hold pastoral ministries and work at various parishes, community centers, hospitals and prisons in the area. Remaining close to where they study and teach is invaluable in making the most of the hours in a day, Fr. Roos said.
"Some people wonder why the community is named for Peter Faber. The reason is, the mission and ministry of this community is the formation of Jesuit priests.
"At the time of the founding of the Society of Jesus, St. Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier and four others – there were seven companions – all of them were laymen except Peter Faber. Peter Faber was the first Jesuit priest," said Fr. Roos.
"One of the prime ministries of the Weston Department of the School of Theology and Ministry is to offer advanced theology degrees to Jesuits from other countries, particularly developing countries, so they can go back to their countries and become teachers in their home countries," said Fr. Roos.
Fr. Roos said the design of the property is a gentle reminder of what brings the very diverse group together. In the middle of the ring of five buildings stands a chapel, a space large enough that all in the community may celebrate Mass together.
"That is quite appropriate," said Fr. Roos, "because the heart of our community is Jesus Christ in the Eucharist."

Customer comments about Ventura 42r Dining Table:
The table is basically unfinished and everytime I use it another nick or cloudy/faded mark appears. The product is much to expensive to wear so poorly. The finish is now so damaged that I must have a table clothe for it. I bought the table for the design but within just a few months--taking considerable care--I am reduced to using a table clothe because the table top is no long accecptable. I could have bought a table for a fraction of the price if I knew I was going to have to always use a table cloth with it. I am terribly disappointed.

Customer comments about Ventura 42r Dining Table:
Currently have this table in our new kitchen. Great design. Looks fantastic. Much sturdier with the four legs than the pillar design of others. However, the finish is very sensitive. Sat a piece of warm bread on a plate mat in the first two days of having it and the heat clouded and damaged the finish. So while it make be nice to look at it, it's not very useful. Can't imagine the piece will wear well in the coming weeks, months and especially years.
Service and delivery comments:
R&B delivery crew always the best. First table had a blue hue to the finish, which they caught in the warehouse. We probably should have realized there's a finish issue in the manufacturing of the piece and cancelled altogether.

A:A 54r table will seat 5-6 comfortably, depending on the width of your chairs and whether or not you are willing to have someone sit at a leg. Because of the slightly splayed legs on this table, this is something to consider carefully.Answered on 8/30/2013 by Design Associate from Room & Board

Fine Molds 1:48 scale Yokusuka D4Y2 Suisei "Judy" nightfighter
Posted 15 April 2012 - 08:42 PM
this is my latest build and I believe my third here on LSP......
About the kit;
A first glance gave me the impression that it was as good as a Hasegawa or Tamiya kit but it wasn't......it lacked detail on some parts, the wheelbays, it could use more panel lines, fit of one part of the fuselage (underside of the tail) didn't fit well and used some sanding. Instruction was in japanese with some instruction in english for painting SOME of the parts.So I had to use my imagination a lot....
The build is staight out of the box except for the Eduard seatbelts and and the electric wire for the brakelines.
Tried to make "stressed metal" by using putty on the panels, but this doesn't work on such small scale so I sanded it off.
Painted it with Tamiya IJN green and IJN grey, Tamiya lemon yellow with a pinch of red for the IFF and lines on the prop.
Tamiya red for the hinomarus, exhaust stains are Revell enamels- black, some different sand and light brown colours.
Chipping is done with a small brush, using Revell silver and different shades of green, and Tamiya interior colour.
The flash of the camera doesn't do justice to some of the "green" chips and navigation light in some pics.
The pics.....

.....No, really, you did a marvelous job of gettng the model built SO BRILLIANTLY .It is admirable workmanship and the weathering et al is just SUPERBLY done.
It is a masterful work and I don't know what you used for the weathering techniques to make those scuff marks on the wings etc but it works PERFECTLY ..

Life Is Shit0 Reviews
Nancey and her family move into a new house and meets many people. Including the young Tate. Thrilling, Horror, Romance.
I sat in my dark room, waiting for my mothers piercing voice to shout the words "LETS GO!" to me. So i can leave this house. We always move. I'm used to it, we never stay. Goodbye room, we've had some good times. When i used to cry, still do, when i almost committed suicide, when i was happy for a month. I looked around my almost empty room and for some reason, i wasn't really sad. Its a new start, hopefully this one will be a good one.
"C'MON SWEETIE LETS GO!" shouted my mum from downstairs. Time to go. I picked up my blue suitcase and weakly walked out of my room painted purple. I walked down the creaky stairs almost in slow motion to find my mum standing there with her hands on her hips, giving me the "Are you serious?" look. I threw her a smile and we both walked out the door. Bye house full of sad memories. I jumped into the car and my dad was there at the front, staring at what used to be our home.
"You okay?" i asked, knowing that hes probably not. He nodded slowly. Hesitation, it always tells the truth. Mum got in the car and Ed started off the car. New home, here we come. I put my headphones in my ears and looked outside the window, like the way you do, feeling like you're in some kind of movie. The further away from our house, the more creepier it got. There was at least 20 forests we've passed now. I hate car journeys. I shut my eyes, and before i knew it.. We was there.
The house was HUGE. I felt like i was in some country side. There was similar houses all over the road, very huge brick houses. They looked about one million years old. I liked it. Its like the house has a soul. I hope we can stay here.. I opened the car door and saw like ten people all lined up in front of our new 'home'.
I slammed the door shut and suddenly all their eyes beamed on me. I'm guessing they are our neighbors? Everyone there looked pretty normal, but one. There was a boy, he looked about my age. He had dirty blond shaggy hair, and his skin was as pale as a white piece of paper. His eyes were dark, like little black holes. He looked left and right, like a nervous, shy little child. But something about him makes me want to talk to him.
Me, Jess, Mum and Dad all walked up to the people and they all shouted "WELCOME!". I looked at the boy with the shaggy hair and he looked back. Then quickly looked away. I wonder whats that all about? We all walked inside our new home, also the people standing outside our home. My mother got a huge bottle of wine.
"Thankyou, we plan to stay here for a long time. And hopefully we will get on with you lovely people. Cheers!" she said as she opened the bottle of wine. I rolled my eyes and walked off, as the swarm of neighbors gathered around my pregnant mother. I looked back at them and noticed.. the boy. He wasn't there. I decided to go looking for him. I walked through my living room and into the kitchen. There he was, standing there. He looked like he had no feelings, he was expressionless.
"Uh Hi" i managed to say. He looked up at my face and stood up straight.
"Hello, are you scared of darkness?" he said.
"Uh nope, whats your name?" i replied. He walked closer to me and i stepped back a bit. Something about him, i don't know what.. it makes me want to be friends with him..
"Tate" he whispered.

Every body acknowledges that humen's life is high priced, but some people need money for various things and not every one gets enough cash. Hence to get good business loans and financial loan will be good way out.
I love love love custombabybooks.com! Since I got one from a friend I always give one as a present. It is so much more personal and meaningful.
That is cool that people are able to get the personal loans moreover, this opens up new possibilities.
I do not see if you believe me, thus, I really would apprize your fantastic topic close to this good post. Before that I did take the aid at writing for money service.
All people deserve very good life and credit loans or consolidation loan would make it much better. Because people's freedom bases on money.
I enjoyed reading your blog. Keep it that way.
Yeah clearly very
fortunate for the editors it was pleasant to read about this good topic! If you need to get a great job firstofall you need resume. Study and don't forget - if you have to work and study at the same time, there arehotshots who are ready to advice you with your resume when you under time heaviness and looking for a great job.
I received 1 st loans when I was 25 and this helped me very much. Nevertheless, I require the secured loan once again.
That's not so easy to manage with two actions at the same time, particularly when you have to compose the analytical essay. The only cheap essay writing service would manage even with the most hard tasks.
Only professionals are able to accomplish masterpieces. Moreover, they offer to buy coursework of high quality.
There are lots of good things in the world, but a term papers writing seems to be not the best one. Nonetheless, a distinguished non plagiarized essay service is able to change this releasing essays. Thence, students would sit relaxed.
Creating my website I have had a problem of plagiarized texts. It got big harm to my site! Luckily, my friend suggested me to utilize the plagiarism detect. In fact, my site is better at this moment.
Thank you a lot for the kind of perfect text about this topic. That is worthy to buy essay about this good post.
Some specialists argue that credit loans help a lot of people to live the way they want, because they are able to feel free to buy needed things. Furthermore, banks offer secured loan for young and old people.
custom baby gifts can be better than money if you just personalize with a photo. Today you can create a photo album online instead of just ordering prints.
I strictly recommend not to hold back until you earn enough amount of cash to order goods! You should get the credit loans or just term loan and feel yourself free
That is understandable that money can make people independent. But how to act when someone has no cash? The one way only is to receive the credit loans or secured loan.
Lots of specialists say that loans help a lot of people to live their own way, just because they can feel free to buy needed stuff. Moreover, different banks offer consolidation loan for different classes of people.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
Some time ago, I did need to buy a good house for my business but I didn't have enough money and couldn't purchase anything. Thank God my friend proposed to take the loans from trustworthy creditors. Hence, I acted that and used to be happy with my college loan.

German tuner, DMC, has produced a number of finely-tuned masterpieces over the years so you know that when these guys are in the news, they most likely have a new tuning package for a specific car cooking in the oven. And, lo and behold, they do indeed have one.
Calling it the Ferrari California Surfista, DMC attributed the awesomeness of their package to providing subtle upgrades on the car, instead of going overboard like some tuners have been known to do with the California.
DMC just replaced the original components with the same parts that are now made of carbon fiber. There's a carbon fiber front diffuser that's significantly lighter and adds a rather classy and elegant look to the front. Who doesn't want carbon fiber, right?
DMC also gave the California a new trunk trim made of carbon fiber that adds sizzle to an otherwise simple looking rear end. Then there's the rear diffuser – also made from carbon fiber – that completes the now lighter and more powerful Ferrari California . Output for this baby has jumped from 460 horsepower to 550 horsepower.

Umpire Joyce Misses Call At 1st Base In NLDS

Sports Fan Insider
WASHINGTON (AP) — It's another umpiring call that went the St. Louis Cardinals way this postseason.
And it's not the first time TV replays show umpire Jim Joyce missed a call at first base.
Joyce ruled Nationals batter Danny Espinosa out when he bunted with a runner on and no outs in the second inning of Wednesday's Game 3 of Washington's NL division series against St. Louis. Nationals manager Davey Johnson came out to argue as fans booed.
The Cardinals benefited from a disputed infield-fly rule call in their wild-card game victory at the Atlanta Braves last week. Fans at that game responded by tossing trash on the field.
Joyce is best known for blowing a call at first base to ruin Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga's bid for a perfect game in 2010.

A woman was found dead inside a Columbia University dorm room on Sunday.
The NYPD responded to the Morningside Drive dorm at about 11:48 a.m.
They found Jessica Fingers, 21, of Monticello unconscious and unresponsive on the floor.
EMS responded but it was too late to save her life.
Fingers had been recruited to become a member of Columbia's Women's Varsity Track and Field Team, the Newburgh Times Herald-Record reported in 2008.
She earned a full scholarship to the university, according the Narrowsburg River Reporter but later left the school.
Fingers was reportedly visiting a friend at the dorm. The Daily News reported that Fingers was believed to have overdosed. An autopsy was planned to determine the exact cause of death.

LASS, "Lightweight construction applications at sea", began in 2005 with researchers from SP, Chalmers, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Swerea SICOMP, DNV and SSPA. The project was designed to demonstrate the economic and ecological benefits from a weight perspective using lightweight materials (aluminium and plastic composites) for ship structures. A number of positive effects are now evident: six ships have been redrawn using light construction materials and the number of participating organisations has risen to 30.
Through cooperation with the EU's SAFEDOR project, a fire and risk analysis was made for a new ferry with composite superstructure that shipping company Stena plans to build. Supporting documentation from a ship that was designed in LASS was used by the Swedish Coast Guard for the procurement of new patrol boats. Shipyard Kockums has started production of composite vessels and sells composite superstructures for steel ships. The world's first two fire-rated carbon fibre catamarans were launched by Styrsöbolaget in 2010.

Insurance services group urges preparation for health reform
Trucking industry preparation for the Affordable (health) Care Act appears similar to the industry view of the Compliance Safety Accountability program in 2008, TrueNorth Companies representatives said Sept. 13.
Some companies took the following two years to prepare for the enforcement program that was due to begin in late 2010, while others didn't act and found shipper contracts falling away due to bad rankings in the Safety Measurement System.
TrueNorth urged companies to take a proactive approach to the health-care changes now to avoid being taken by surprise by new requirements and penalties in the future. Even so, potential changes to the law during implementation are likely.
In addition, uncertainty remains about the legality of the individual mandate to buy health insurance in 2014. "There are 26 lawsuits in the judicial system right now" challenging the mandate, said TrueNorth Account Manager Bob Mreen. "Ultimately the fate of the mandate will be decided by the Supreme Court."
Mreen said such a decision may come down during the 2012 national election. "Personally, I think it's going to be a bellwether issue, depending on the timing of the Supreme Court decision. Stay tuned, and stay abreast of the changes as they occur," he said.
For companies utilizing independent contractors, TrueNorth stressed the need for insurers and carriers to talk with contractors about health insurance changes and options. Some points to consider:
1) In effect since the 2010 tax year is a small business tax credit available to employers with fewer than 25 full-time employees, exclusive of company owners and family members. If the employer, whether a small fleet running under its own authority or leased to a larger carrier, contributes at least 50 percent to its employees' health insurance premiums, it can deduct a growing percentage of premium costs from its federal income taxes.
2) Nationally, the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan is in place, offering individuals who've been without insurance for six months or more and who've been denied insurance due to a pre-existing condition access to a relatively affordable plan. Participation in the plan since its introduction a year ago has been low, TrueNorth said, with only 25,000 individuals enrolled of a total 375,000 projected in the legislation. Visit pcip.gov for information.
Other changes already in effect include an increase of dependent eligibility age to 26 years, regardless of marital status and bans on lifetime limits to "essential" benefits that have yet to be defined. Additional changes are a restriction of annual dollar limits for particular procedures, and pre-existing condition exclusion for children under age 19.
Many more changes will probably come, including some of interest for owner-operators, small fleets and/or their contracting fleets.
Beginning January 2013, employers with 250 or more employees will be required to report the value of health insurance benefits on employee W2s. Increased federal regulation of employer-provided plans by 2013 will include requirements of uniform explanation of coverage to all employees. Plans also will have to notify employees of the existence of state health insurance exchanges to buy individual insurance, and of a 60-day-or-longer reporting requirement of any benefits changes.
Also in 2013, a new maximum of $2,500 will apply to any individual pretax Flexible Spending Account, and penalties for misuse of Health Savings Account funds will increase.

While some were in Berlin for the annual Berlinale film festival and others were enjoying the trendy hipster hot spots, I spent all of last week getting lost on the U-Bahn. In between trying to figure out my Mitte from my Moritzplaz, I ate. A lot. And very well, too.
I was in Berlin researching and developing an exciting project with my friend and sometime-partner-in-performance-art-crime Scottee. All that rolling around on the floor and pretending to be trees really made us work up an appetite. And when two hungry chubbsters hit mealtime, it's take no prisoners.
The first night we dined in what can only be described as a German grandmother's front room. The decor consisted of more net curtains than Ena Sharples could twitch in a lifetime, contrasted with some fine carpet tapestry wallhangings of Germany's regional coats of arm. Marjellchen specialises in dishes from East Prussia, Silesia and Pomerania. Wherever….whatever….it was delicious. Scottee reluctantly agreed to share a starter with me- thick slices of moist smoked salmon with a sweet dill mustard sauce and chunks of fresh dark rye bread.
My main course nearly killed me through my own gluttony. Weiner Schnitzel- two large, thin tranches of finely breaded pork cutlets served with fistfulls of chanterelle mushrooms in a cream sauce…plus potatoes fried with bacon…well, call me Brunhilde and wheel me out the door.
Surprisingly I couldn't face dessert. But Scottee, after his lightly roast pike, ordered a mountain of sweet Silesian dumplings made of poppy seeds. Black and grainy an topped with cream (why not?), they were more bitter than sweet but an unusual and memorable end to an extraordinary meal. And the service was excellent too.
Shopping for food was a hoot. I found this in the local corner store- it's CHEESE shaped like FEET. Yep. Cheesy Feet. No trip to Berlin would be complete without a visit to KaDeWe food hall, which is so large and has so much to see and taste it is possible to go in a tiny toddler and come out an obese pensioner. What I love most of all about the KaDeWe food hall are the sausages; every type in Germany is represented here. If all the sausages in KaDeWe were lined up end to end I am sure we could lasso the moon. I have found where i'd like to eat my last meal on earth: Rogacki. A pleasure palais devoted to mainly fish and seafood in all its varieties (though it also stocks sausages of course) the highlight of a trip to Rogacki is lunch at the fried-fish-and-potato-salad bar. It's priced by weight, and you can choose delicate little bowls of sauces, salads and pickled cucumber to go with your meal. There are no seats- it's a stand up affair whether you eat in the working class fried fish area, the middle class fish soup bar, or with the upper class oysters and fizz brigade. This is Berlin at its fresh, functional, and pocket-friendly best. And the decor hasn't changed since…ummm..I reckon 1983.
I could write about the amazing chocolate confections at Fassbender and Rausch and how the amaretto hot chocolate and tiramisu tower defeated me.
Or how the veggie burgers at Yellow Sunshine were soooo worth getting lost in a roadworks cul-de-sac in sub zero temperatures.Or how the organic burgers at Kreutzburger were some of the sloppiest, finger lickin' meisters i've ever had…AND they were accompanied by crazy fries, sour cream AND all the ketchup you could desire.
Or the baumkuchen at Café Buchwald- an old-time delight of pastry layers covered in dark chocolate- not too sweet and from a long gone tradition of Prussian teatime treats
But the final word goes to the humble pretzel- or BRETZEL, as it's called in Berlin. This classic snack - both salted and cheesy varieties- satiated us on our endless traipsing across Berlin in search of art and food….but mostly food.

Love this stuff, very effective, good taste for the tropical falvour reminding me of the sour 1p chews i got as a kid. No problems recommending this at all.
Read about the gains you can apparently make from creatine so decided to give this a shot. The first 2 weeks all I noticed was that I was going to the toilet for a number 1 a bit more often. Week 3/4 I have noticeably bigger biceps and shoulders, must be the creatine! I tried taking it mixed in a glass with water but now I just scoop straight into my mouth and wash it down with my protein shake.
I have been using creatine for a while now its the best product if you want to maximize you reps range. I normally mix creatine with a sport drink before my workout because it does not taste very good if you take it with water. The only downside is that its very hard to dissolve so i would recommend to use an electronic shaker for best results.
Been on this for a week and half and its crazy how much more iam lifting!! Dont know if its phsycological but i have so much energy n can see a differnce already when lookin in the mirror. Defo getting more of this!!! Recomend this to everyone!
Mixes well, is much easier than taking tablets every day. I liked this product a lot but with it being unflavored, I've had to mark it down for taste :(
Mixes well, tastes good, no plotting and increases strength and endurance. As good as any big brand product. Goes Well With:Improved condition
Excellent product highly recommended! Mixes well either in my shake or with only water!!....;-)

After taking creatine for about 2 weeks everyday I am starting to see great results along with hard work in work outs, my general strength has significantly increased. It mixes well with any fork of liquid, on rest days I take my creatine with orange juice and after work out I add it to my whey protein
Trials have shown Creatine Monohydrate works, so you needn't take my word for it. Visit examine dot com and read all about it. You probably know this already, but just in case: Taking Creatine boosts the energy reserves of the muscle cells so that during hard exercise you have a little bit more in reserve. This allows you to push slightly heavier weights around and/or do more reps, hence the increased muscle mass. In other words, taking this stuff doesn't build muscle, but it makes it easier for you to work your muscles harder and so leads to increased muscle gain. Tip: if you are getting stomach trouble after drinking, or are fed up of stirring the stuff to get it to dissolve, try using warm water. I use stuff from the kettle that has cooled a little. Just an inch in the cup should be enough. Once it is dissolved (usually very quick) stir in enough cold water to make it easy to drink off in one go, and Bob's your uncle. The stuff is pretty stable to heat, melting at over 250°C so hot water won't hurt it.
Not sure if this product works more because of its physiological affect on you but it does seem to be working, usually mix this with some instant oats and whey but occasionally I'll just mix it with some water or squash if I have it before a workout. Definitely recommend this to someone looking to bulk up or gain lean mass, did make me feel a little bit sick about an hour after consumption for the first one or two times but I'm fine with it nowGoes Well With:Instant oats, whey, water, milk

Nikki Giovanni (A) and Bryan Collier (ILT)
List Price: $7.99 (Paperback - Civil Rights Leader – 2007)
Description: Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs. Rosa Parks is still one of the most important figures in the American civil rights movement. This tribute to Mrs. Parks is a celebration of her courageous action and the events that followed.
She had not sought this moment but she was ready for it. When the policeman bent down to ask "Auntie, are you going to move?" all the strength of all the people through all those many years joined in her. She said, "No."
Award-winning poet, writer, and activist Nikki Giovanni's evocative text combines with Bryan Collier's striking cut-paper images to retell the story of this historic event from a wholly unique and original perspective. (40 pgs) Ages 4 +
Ashay says, "Now I know I had this book in my collection before. hmmm ... Get your hands off and give Rosa Parks the credit she is due. She was a trail blazer who became a symbol for freedom and justice and her courage sparked a revolution. A Caldecott Honor Award winning book and a must have for the library and classroom. Teach!
