Futures lower on weak European economic data
US markets are set for a lower open ahead of reports on consumer spending and manufacturing.
U.S. equity futures were lower in early premarket trade on a batch of weak economic data out of the eurozone. Although most of the weakness in the data points was expected, the data, including unemployment statistics and German retail sales, pointed to a continued and protracted recession in the eurozone and placed more pressure on the European Central Bank to continue to support the economy ahead of its next interest rate decision next week.
In other news, yen strength dominated overnight on the back of strong economic data out of Japan as the USD/JPY rate fell below 100.50 to as low as 100.30. The pair recently traded above 103.
The eurozone's unemployment rate rose to another record level in April of 12.2% from 12.1% previously, in line with expectations. Notable weakness was seen in the Italian unemployment report, which drove shares lower in Europe.
The bidding war for Clearwire (CLWR) continues as Dish Networks (DISH) increased its bid for the company to $4.40 per share, 29% more than Sprint's (S) bid. The bid includes the just over 50% of Clearwire owned by Sprint.
S&P 500 futures fell 11.3 points to 1,642.30.
The EUR/USD was lower at 1.2986.
Spanish 10-year government bond yields fell 1 basis point to 4.35%.
Italian 10-year government bond yields fell 2 basis points to 4.1%.
Gold rose 0.23% to $1,415.20 per ounce.
Asian markets
Asian shares were mixed overnight as Japanese shares recovered some of its large Thursday losses. The Japanese Nikkei Index rose 1.37% and the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.73% while the Hang Seng Index declined 0.41%. Also, the Korean Kospi rose 0.05% and Australian shares declined 0.08%.
European markets
European shares traded mostly lower overnight following some weak economic data. The Spanish Ibex Index declined 1.31% and the Italian FTSE MIB Index fell 1.04%. Meanwhile, the German DAX declined 1.02% and the French CAC 40 lost 1.16% as U.K. shares fell 0.99%.
Commodities were mostly lower overnight save for gold on global growth fears. WTI crude futures fell 0.74% to $92.92 per barrel and Brent crude futures declined 0.56% to $101.62 per barrel. Copper futures declined 0.6% to $329.55 per pound on continued supply concerns. Gold was higher and silver futures declined 0.13% to $22.66 per ounce.
Currency markets saw yen strength overnight but otherwise the dollar was strong against other major partners. The EUR/USD was lower at 1.2986 and the dollar declined against the yen to 100.62. Overall, the Dollar Index rose 0.27% on strength against the Canadian dollar, the euro, the pound, and the swiss franc.

Big Lots (BIG) reports first quarter earnings per share of $0.61 vs. $0.61 expected on revenue of $1.31 billion vs. $1.32 billion expected.

Last weekend, a protest was held by a section of Blackpool fans before their game against Huddersfield. Given the team had slipped towards the ugly end of the Championship table after a calamitous 17-game winless run under first Paul Ince and then Barry Ferguson, you might think they were unhappy with how the team is currently performing, but that is almost secondary for many fans on the coast at present.

The fortunes of two of the biggest clubs in the Championship seem to have been intertwined down the years. It seems when Nottingham Forest have been a shambles, Leeds have too, and while the former have never suffered the sort of financial apocalypse of the latter, the two are once again in synch.
Leeds have only been able to pay their players half their wages because of a dispute over who is funding the club, as prospective owner Massimo Cellino awaits the results of his appeal against his failure of the fit and proper persons test.
If Cellino walks away, or is forced to walk away, the club's finances are in such a state that what comes next doesn't bear thinking about. Oh, and in recent weeks they've lost 5-1 at home to Bolton, 4-2 at home to Reading and 4-1 at Bournemouth, collecting just five points from the last nine games as their outside hopes of a playoff spot disappeared down the drain.
And at the time of writing, Forest don't have a manager, any coaches, a chief executive as well as a number of other behind the scenes staff, with youth team coach Gary Brazil basically holding the team together with sticky tape, having been handed the reins largely on the basis that he's about the only one at the City Ground who hasn't been sacked. Add to that a winless run of nine games, partly caused by injury problems that currently see up to 12 first team players unavailable.
Two huge clubs, united by shambles.

It's been remarked upon plenty of times, but it would be remiss not to offer a word of praise for the 9,000 Wolves fans that made the trip to Milton Keynes for their game against the MK Dons on Saturday.
By way of comparison, that's more than the attendance at every other League One game at the weekend, and indeed more than a couple of games in the Championship.
And they were rewarded in appropriate fashion, with the winning goal scored by youngster Liam McAlinden, something of a symbol of how Kenny Jackett has rebuilt the club after the shambles left by the parade of managers that took them down last season.
Wolves are now ten points clear of third place Leyton Orient, and their promotion should be confirmed in the next couple of weeks. Hats off indeed to Jackett and the Wolves fans.One of the teams that could join Wolves in promotion from League One is Rotherham, who have put together an absolutely extraordinary run to put themselves within five points of second place, and firmly in the playoff spots.
The Millers have not lost since January 1 and have dropped just eight points from the last available 35. Manager Steve Evans is, to use a considerable understatement, not an especially palatable character, but it's impossible to argue with the job he's doing at the New York Stadium.

The deeply-rooted tradition of the Toomer's oaks has come to its sad conclusion. The trees were removed, limb-by-limb Tuesday morning in front on hundreds of spectators and students walking to class.
Reba Wadsworth, a 1967 Auburn graduate, had a front row seat in her lawn chair as workmen chopped pieces of the more-than-eighty-year old oaks.
"It is so sad," Wadsworth said. "When the train had such a mournful sound coming through; then when the chainsaw cuts, the people just get quiet."
Some on-lookers could not hold back their emotions as sawdust filled the air during the six-hour removal process.
"I know it's got to be done," Charles Edwards, an Auburn graduate said. "But at the same time, I would love for my grandkids to go up and roll the tree."
"I remember after one of the Auburn-Georgia games I came, and afterwards I rolled the tree," Auburn student Sydney Weber said. "This is such a fun experience. I just want to be a part of that. It's sad. But the tradition won't die. It will be in our hearts forever."
The trees were poisoned in 2010 by rival Alabama fan, Harvey Updyke. All that remains are the roots, which will be removed following the upcoming football season.
"There is an extensive root system beneath the plaza," Gary Keever, Auburn horticulturist said. "There is also a valuable source of wood that will be harvested when the renovation begins sometime in 2014."
A bare landscape is all that's left at Toomer's Corner. But the tradition of rolling the trees with bathroom tissue after Auburn wins will continue. A temporary structure, with wires above the intersection of College Street and Magnolia Avenue will be in place for the 2013 football season.

Minneapolis Gun Club
Since 1875, Minneapolis Gun Club has maintained numerous clay-target courses. Guests take aim on 10 trap fields, eight skeet fields, two five-stand fields, and one wobble-trap field, all of which test their skills with targets up to 50 yards away. When they aren't hosting open sessions and organized shoots, Carl Cook and NSSA-certified Level II instructor Mike Lohman train pupils in bettering their clay-shooting skills during lessons. If they need a break, visitors can reenergize with burgers and fish sandwiches in the clubhouse or restock on brand-name gear in the pro shop. Because they are a "shotgun for clay targets only" space, Minneapolis Gun Club cannot accommodate patrons hoping to use handguns or rifles.

TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, St. Louis Cardinals
When Scott, our prospect writer, gave out his awards for 2012, he gave Oscar Taveras the minor league break-out hitter award, saying this in September, "Taveras spent the entire year at Double-A Springfield after skipping the High-A level over the off-season. The 20-year-old is being touted as the best pure hitter in the minors after hitting .321/.380/.572 and winning the Texas League batting title. He's ready for big league pitching now, but the Cardinals will hold off 'til next year to use him, perhaps right out of camp if the opportunity is there. Now excuse me as I go walk my schnauzer that I named Grey." Hmm, didn't remember reading that last part. From what I've heard, Taveras's biggest strike against him is he doesn't see any strikes — turn of a phrase point! He's being compared to Vladimir Guerrero without having knees like Mama from Mama's Family. Taveras swings and hits everything. Also, like Vlad, his swing is long, unwieldy and it looks like he could swing at

The addresses for the old website will be:
I inherited a 1972 AO-8 from my father who passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in 2005, and I restored his
bike for sentimental reasons. Initially, during my world-wide web research on the AO8, it became apparent
to me that information about Peugeots from this time period was scarce. The Peugeot AO-8 and its UO-8, UO-18,
UE-8 and UE-18 siblings were entry-level and low-end bicycles sold in the United States during the 1960s and
1970s, especially in the early 1970s during the peak of the bike-boom . These were commonly the first ten-speeds ridden
by baby boomers. As vintage bicycles, they do not garner the same respect as does their prestigious PX-10 cousin.
Also, opinions about them range from good to bad. Furthermore, it seems that there are a lot of these bicycles still
around, as well as some interest and curiosity about them, after they have been discovered in basements,
garages, sheds, attics and barns. Consequently, I decided to build a website focusing on the 'lowly' Peugeot
A- and U-series bicycles of the bike-boom era. This website also covers the 'lofty' PX10 and its siblings.
Donations for research to cure Lou Gehrig's Disease are
very much appreciated.
This website is a labor of love, and I have invested significant resources in its development. If you
enjoy and find it useful, please donate a few dollars to my fundraising effort to fight ALS.
All donations will go to the Blazeman Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit multi-sport organization dedicated to fighting
ALS. See below for details on the Foundation.
My daughter and I compete in triathlons for Team Blazeman in honor of Jon Blais, in memory of my father, to increase
awareness about ALS, and to raise money for biomedical research to find a cure to this brutal disease. See
us on the ALS Battlefield.

SI Prizm MFrame - Oakley
Oakley Standard Issue has developed an array of contrast enhanced Prizm lenses...
Two Nicholas County (W.Va.) Sheriff's deputies were shot and wounded Saturday when they responded to a dispute between neighbors, leading to a four-hour standoff that ended when the suspect was fatally shot by police.
John Evans, 84, shot Deputy Buddy Stapleton in the leg and Deputy Tommy Allison in the face and stomach at shortly after 9 a.m. in Craigsville. Evans then barricaded himself in his home for more than four hours, as the West Virginia State Police Special Response Team responded to the scene.
Tactical officers attempted to flush Evans out of the house with tear gas. Police fatally shot him when he attempted to sneak out the back door with a shotgun, reports WSAZ.
Evans apparently suffers from Alzheimer's, his family told the news outlet.

Hope both Officers recover and return to work. As for Mr. Evans, his alzheimers is now cured. Blues, Stay Safe.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Event: Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary This card is GORGEOUS!. The picture does not show the elegant characteristics of this card. Wow were we impressed. We are in love with Wedding Paper Divas."
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"These were perfect .I made holders from different wine corks that I had collected and the place cards looked wonderful in them. The paper quality was great and color was just what I wanted. The staff answered all my questions and delivery was ahead of schedule. I was more than pleased. Thank you."
"so gorgeous for my outdoors evening garden wedding. will look great displayed on the table for the guests to find their seats."
"We are getting married in Sonoma County surrounded by vineyards. I looked all over to find something that fit with our location. I am glad I found this - they are very nice, and good quality!"

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This first little rant covers what I think about a lot of UIs I see, and shouldn't be held against this one in any particulars... it just happens to fall into the group:
Titan Panel: I don't see the big draw with this mod (or the Chocolate bar, or other types). Other than a few things (FPS/Latency/Time), why do you need all that crap taking up space on the top of your screen? Sure, its not that big, but come on. Location? Put it on your minimap. Gold? Really...? Messages? Durability? The icons?
BBOD: Why do people squeeze their screen in between Titan and a BigBarOfDoom? We buy these wide screen monitors that support 1280x800 - 1920x1080, and then we trim off 1/5 of that to take up space with a giant black bar... Seems counter intuitive.
Now, what I don't like (bad news first, good news after):
Party on the left of the screen, Grid on the bottom right: Redundant.
Double cast bar.
Skada & Omen: Again, redundant.
Buff bars: I see the bars as a waste of space. Icon + timer should suffice.
Decursive: Seems to be floating out in the middle of nowhere...
Prat: Seems to be taking up space just to take up space. IE: Why is it so long?
MSBT: I just don't like that font... (thats about it).
Minimap: All those buttons make it look like it has tumors...
Anyhow... What I like about this UI (because I'm not a complete a-hole):
SuF: Simple and clean.
Action bars: Again, simple and clean (though I'd make the side bar fade out in combat).
With all that being said: If this works for Sakuyan, then go for it... don't bother with what I said unless you think I made a good point. My opinion is my opinion, and I won't be playing on your computer, so it doesn't really matter how I see your UI, am I right?
Different people find different things useful or necessary. I need buff bars because I don't instantly recognize the icons. Nipah doesn't. We use the available tools to suit our individual needs and tastes.
I see these differences as interesting, not a matter for criticism. People haven't 'done it wrong' just because they've done it differently.
So why do people feel the need to be so critical? Helpful suggestions and finding genuine flaws are one thing. Chucking out a whole lot of complaints about things that have not been done in the way you would do them is negative and not particularly useful.
This is not particularly aimed at Nipah - just all the folks whose first instinct is to just complain about everything they don't like.

Did you see enough in South Africa's 28-10 win over Australia to suggest they could upset the All Blacks at Ellis Park?
Yes, the Boks have found form at the right time and the altitude will help them
No chance, if the Boks play against the All Blacks like they did against the Aussies at Newlands, the Kiwis will crush them

The Top Time Trophy
Every year that Speed Week has been contested since 1949, HOT ROD magazine has issued the Top Time Trophy, the award for the single fastest pass of the meet, regardless of if the pass is a record or not. To many, this is the ultimate prize for Speed Week. In 2009, we saw the first hard-core race for the trophy in many years, as three cars in attendance had the potential.
On the very first pass of the week Saturday morning, the Poteet & Main Speed Demon set the standard at 369.462, then 369.814 on Sunday. The same day, the Spirit of Rett showed a real threat at 366.689 and on Monday morning ran 369.584, just 0.230 slower than Poteet & Main. The race was on.
Spirit of Rett ran again Tuesday but did not improve. Meanwhile, Poteet & Main got serious with a 387.453, but then on Wednesday, Nish ran 371.281, then 385.262-just 2.191 behind. The Nish Royal Purple car had what it took to go faster, minus one connecting rod. It had been a very close run, with the 720ci naturally aspirated Nish car running neck and neck with the 299ci turbo car.
Then on Thursday, Poteet & Main decided to run again, even though it appeared that the team had the Top Time locked up, because they wanted a 400-mph number engraved on that trophy. It was a heroic effort, with a flying-mile time of 394.346 mph. The exit speed was 401.285 mph, but exit speed, while interesting, has no merit in this game. The final number was the Poteet & Main 394.346.
On the way to that number, the Poteet & Main team fragged five quick-change rearends, as the pinion shafts and spur gears kept breaking. They were fixed with spares, loaner parts from Nish, and an emergency set driven in overnight from California. Charles Nearburg in Spirit of Rett even offered to fly in spare parts. What's more, the Liberty trans had a broken Fifth gear slider, so all the top speed runs were made in Fourth, screaming the engine to as much as 9,350 rpm. "With it all fixed," Ron told us, "we think it has 450 in it."

I bought this yesterday + it's so good!!! I can't stop watching it.
This is Haste The Day vs Haste The Day.
I couldn't believe how good it sounded!!! Plus it's nice to see the former members back + see the progression of the band side by side… Can you tell that i've been a fan for many years now?
It's a shame that they're not around now as i felt the new line-up was beginning to find their feet on 'Attack Of The Wolf King' so i think the next album would've been really solid (Especially if they decided to explore the darker + heavier side musically as they had become so strong melodically) but i guess we'll never know…
Enjoy!!! :)
oh hey, I was there, so much fun, best show of my life.
Hey look, Brooks! it's that show we went to!

Daniel Dennis Says Goodbye on Video
8 comments:
Spin it anyway you want, but Russ had a major influence over this situation. It's obvious when you read what guys like Blackbean, Tuddle, and Tiffany have all said since they were let go. Tiffany left on her own, but she stated several times that Russ was very difficult to deal with.
The show lost it's ace. Daniel was a once-in-a-long-while type of talent. Oh well, at least we have his hilarious podcast.
- November 29, 2012 at 10:16 AM
I spoke with Tiffany at an event and she said he was the worst. The real sad part, the best bit of the show (drunky's 1minute), now has no jokes because this guy wrote most of them :(

There's no other way to put it, Daniel Dennis was The Monster's "franchise player". Any smart person would have done whatever it takes to not let him go. Best of luck to him!
- December 1, 2012 at 11:55 AM
It sounds like this centers around RR, who is not funny.
Daniel seems to be the creative humor svengali behind the show, because its not funny now.
RR judgement is pretty questionable, given his track record of poorly thought out choices in the past.
I think it'll be interesting to see what the ratings are in the future.
Good luck, DD, you are an original.

I've been listening to The Monsters from the beginning and I can tell ya the show will not be the same without DD. I will no longer listen it really sucks the funniest guy on the radio is gone.
- February 5, 2013 at 4:03 PM
Daniel was the best actually a tie between him and D. Jim. Drunky is the worst thing that happened to the Mosters - his laugh made me leave along time ago. Hope to See D.Dennis and D. Jim on their own show - dump Ross and Drunky.

Highways 51 and 14 in Perry County are back open Saturday morning following a three-vehicle wreck Friday night.
A spokesperson for the Illinois State Police says portions of both highways were shut down for a couple of hours Friday night as crews worked to clear the scene of a car crash.
The crash happened shortly after 9 p.m. on US 51 at Beech Road in Jackson County.
Troopers say a Chevy Silverado, driven by Gerald Tilley of Du Quoin, was pulling a passenger bus with a chain and turned south on US 51.
The bus had no working lights and it was hit on the driver's side by a Chevy Malibu driven by Ashley N. Daniels, 18, of Pinckneyville.
The truck was in both the north and southbound US 51 lanes, according to troopers. The bus caught fire after impact.
Daniels was taken by EMS to a Pinckneyville hospital with serious injuries. She was later taken via helicopter to a St. Louis hospital for treatment. Tilley received minor injuries.
US 51 was closed between Route 14 and Dow for clean-up of the crash scene.
Gerald Tilley was cited for failure to yield turning left, improper towing and unsafe equipment. A passenger in Gerald Tilley's vehicle, Kevin W. Tilley, was cited for riding in a towed vehicle.

Classical stylist Theo Angelopoulos (Eternity And A Day) pushes the tradition of `painterly cinema' to its delicious limits. Depicting the life of feisty heroine Elina (Alexandra Aidini) from WWI to the Greek Civil War, Angelopoulos deploys an unforgettable series of gallery-quality images. Sure, our sympathies are kept at a distance (like the action), but this is a film of rare, daring beauty.

It wasn't immediately clear to me that the power of the language was bound up with the community and the diverse packages available.

Robin Williams was asked if he enjoyed talking about certain things in his life.
"You mean before rehab?" he replied quickly, half-joking.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The 61-year-old comedian and star of stage and screen will regale a Kingsbury Hall audience Jan. 16 in an unusual show that is billed as more of a warts-and-all conversation than a performance.
But even a plain conversation with the manic Williams is an adventure.
"There are moments of stand-up amid the sit-down," said the Academy Award-winning star of TV shows such as "Mork & Mindy" and films "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Good Will Hunting,""Insomnia," "The Birdcage," Good Morning, Vietnam," and "Aladdin."
Joining Williams onstage will be William's long-time friend David Steinberg, a Canadian comic, actor and writer who appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" more than 130 times — second only to Bob Hope— and frequent director of "Seinfeld," "Friends," "Mad About You," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." He is also infamous for being credited for being the last straw why "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour"was canceled after he performed a sermon about Moses and the Burning Bush. (He said, "The Old Testament scholars say that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The Gentiles, the New Testament scholars say, 'Hold it, Jews, no.' They literally grabbed the Jews by the Old Testament.")
The idea for this national tour came when Williams wanted to develop material for another stand-up special, following his successful 2009 tour "Weapons of Self Destruction." "Between the time you're getting ready for the next stand-up [special], [this] keeps your comedy chops sharp," he said.
So he and Steinberg, who hosts the interview program "Inside Comedy" on Showtime network, will use their improvisational skills to talk back-and-forth about whatever strikes their fancy on that particular night, whether it is behind-the-scenes tales from film and TV, their personal lives, the world of stand-up, and, possibly, even uncomfortable periods in each other's lives, like rehab.
"It changes every night," Williams said. "The conversation is different every night."
While older fans might be more familiar with Steinberg than younger fans, Williams said Steinberg will receive as much attention and time to talk as Williams. "I'm just as curious about David as he is about me," Williams said. "He has so many amazing stories ... When [the audience] starts hearing him, he's kick-ass funny."
Williams said he would be kinder about Utah than he was in his 2002 stand-up special "Robin Williams LIVE on Broadway," in which he riffed on Utah being the host of the Winter Olympics. One of his funnier lines was, "What, was Amish country booked?"
An Evening of Sit Down with Robin Williams
With • David Steinberg
When • Wednesday, Jan. 16, 7:30 p.m.
Where • Kingsbury Hall, University of Utah, 1395 E. Presidents Circle, Salt Lake City

The Dream Thieves
by Maggie Stiefvater
Genre: Romantic, Urban Fantasy, Young Adult
Excerpt: Yes | Book Trailer: No
Reviewed by: Julia | Source: NetGalley
The second installment in the all-new series from the masterful, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater!
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after…
The Raven Cycle is a tip of the tongue puzzle, at once familiar and alien and ever fascinating. In THE RAVEN BOYS, Stiefvater gave us not just one heroine, not just one hero, but a world where it seemed every character carried their own seeds of greatness. In THE DREAM THIEVES, that world spirals ever deeper to explore the villains in the cast. Beneath the emptiness and destruction lie boys that want to be loved, that want to be powerful, that just want and want and want as they burn up the world. And through that crucible of need some peel away the impurities, emerging battered and smaller but unmistakably heroic. Some, but not all.
The magic of Maggie Stiefvater's writing is difficult to describe, but indelible to experience. She made me weep for the bad boys, the murderers and drag racers, and showed the darker side of her heroes. In short, I fell in love with just about everybody, including the characters I didn't want to like, the ones I didn't want to forgive. And all of that love was good, as THE DREAM THIEVES still refuses to buckle under and become a "typical romance". It's not so much that there's a love triangle as… everyone is loveable. And life is messy. Also, there's magic and some people are going to die. Or have died. See how hard this is to capture? Just know that on every page Stiefvater wrote a sentence that made me smile, made me go back and read it again. And as much as I wanted to pick a favorite, to focus in on one story or one character and judge everyone else by that yardstick, Stiefvater stubbornly made me adore them all.
I struggled at the start of THE RAVEN BOYS because it refused to settle in and follow my expectations. I went into THE DREAM THIEVES knowing that this series would never be predictable, and I enjoyed the second book all the more for that open mind. The Raven Cycle shares more DNA with Neil Gaiman and Charles de Lint than the usual paranormal YA. The world inside THE DREAM THIEVES feels bigger than what's around us. Stiefvater combines the details of real life with leavening magic to produce a mesmerizing, ever-expanding wealth of moments, each one I want to live inside and experience first hand. I put down this book and felt bereft that I didn't have the next one to reach for, exiled from Henrietta for another year.

Simply cannot wait for this one! Stiefvater is a witch, that's all there is to it.
Hah, I didn't want to point any fingers, but yes, clearly there's some witchcraft involved here. She's so damn good it hurts.
Beautiful review Julia! Maggie's writing is just superb, even when I was bored by the story, I still was gripped by the way she held words together. And I love the way you wrote the review. The mention of a "puzzle", "exiled from Henrietta for another year" and "ever-expanding wealth of moments"
Thanks, Rachel! I wrestled with myself a bit, trying to balance if those slow moments warrented coming down a bat. There is definitely something about the pacing of this series, but I think it's tied to how much she doesn't want to follow familiar templates. Of course, that's what terrifies me about the love triangle… there's no way that ends well.
I have been very curious about this series. I am glad you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing with us
I just mailed The Raven Boys to a cousin and gave my copy to my little sister… so, clearly I'm a book pusher that needs to tone it down. And it's good that I don't have more people's home addresses. Give it a try, Denise! This series takes a little extra time to get going, but the writing is flawless.
I am about 25% in to this book. Since book 1, I've felt that the characters were all unique and well-written. How could I choose a favorite? They refuse to boxed in. Maggie's story telling is captivating best. I love your review.
Ooooh, Jennifer, I know exactly how you feel. I'm usually pretty brazen about my favorites, but this series keeps flipping me on my head. The Dream Thieves moreso than anyother, Stiefvater really made me fall in love all over the place.

I've been trying to date this really nice and attractive guy. He says he would, he just isn't quite sure what his 'ex' is done yet. Like I said, he's nice, just didn't wanna hurt her. Meaning my best friend has been dating my sister, my female bestfriend and trying to get me to get a boyfriend. Anyone.
I will confess, I've kinda liked my best friend for a year. And we dated last summer, briefly, but he was working and I was travelling and we had a fallout.
Today, I walked into the room before school. My best friend got up and walked right to me. We went out and he poked my boob. A common joke thing here between friends, but it was still kinda weird, him leading me outside to do it that is. We hugged and I didn't wanna held go, I mean, it was cold, right?
At lunch, I walked into a completely different room, and he was in it. He did the exact same thing with leading me outside. It was raining now. We hugged and I held him for a good while. I let go and he tried to kiss me. I giggled like a bitch and kept turning my face away. We laughed and he kept trying. He grabbed my boob, kinda, not really on purpose at all, in the process. He kept wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me in, and I wanted to kiss him, but I was embarrassed and confused. He said he liked me, just didn't wanna date me. I kept telling him I wasn't going to do things with him like that, even just kiss him, if we weren't actually together. So he asked me out, and after hearing myself ranting a bit more, I said okay. We kissed a few times, in the rain. When we were walking back to school, he put his arm around my shoulder, few like 30 seconds.
I dunno what I feel anymore..

— Full Metal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa Review
I did say I would review this and here I am doing it.
Full metal alchemist is a completed series by Hiromu Arakawa (Original run August 2001 – June 2010) and talks about the journey of the two brothers with talent for alchemy, elder brother (and midget) Edward Elric who has lost an arm and leg and has full metal prosthetic ones instead and younger brother Alphonse Elric who lost his whole body and whose soul is stuck in an armor. Why you might ask? They trespassed God's territory simply, well the rest is for you to find out in the amazing story.
The art is good but I wasn't really impressed by it, it does have fabulous fight scenes though and the story is very touching. The brothers you will notice are also seeking redemption in a way and by the end of the manga (which is rather satisfying) they achieve their dreams but always following the law of alchemy of 'equivalent exchange'.
The characters are unique and fun to watch. They have all gone through a lot and there are characters like this man, whose heart is as big as an ocean which gets them into trouble often. Maes Hughes for you ladies and gentlemen;
(let me love you Hughes, I can't but finish this review in his honor)
Viz media is releasing a very good translation and the final 27th volume was released in December 2011.
Rating: 8/10- I really like it.

I tend to enjoy fishing (recently got my Salty title!) and it always surprises me how much people will pay for buff food. It's wonderful to the people who are willing to farm it. For example, on my server I can sell a stack of five Dragonfin Filet for 50g. Just five! It honestly takes only a few minutes to fly down to Dragonblight and fish up a stack, netting me 200g for a few minutes of fishing.
Anyway, good article. While experience varies I'm sure, buff food seems to be a great and often overlooked source of income.
im the same
im a bit of an achievment hunter - my only missing prossion one is that ****** turtle
the prices arent quite as silly on my server but pre raid fishing usually uses up my spices and pays for my pots/flasks/repairs
couple extra though:
expertise - with the ease of gear now and a good trink most people pass on in ToC10 most dps shouldnt need this
but getting a swing reset when festerguts 3 stacked... tanks should be going for their much higher cap on some fights
agility - again not so many people use it - but again as a tank its the only dodge food - and bonus armour - and as a bear my crits do my shield
Ravenzfire said...
@ Mark
There is a 40 dodge rating eel that you can fish up infront of VH, not sure if this is new with the daily being there now as I've never fished there brfore.

We had about thirty-five or thirty-six guys at our first meeting, said the fifth-year head coach. We only had thirty at the second meeting. A few of the guys realized that we would have standards and discipline, and decided that wasnt what they signed up for.
Meidt and his coaching staff wasted little time building their program. In addition to the implementation of a rigorous off-season training regimen, designed to improve players already in the program, Meidt and his staff also developed an innovative approach to recruiting.
While maintaining all of their recruiting efforts in the Midwest, the coaching staff also extended their reach to include several promising athletes from the state of Florida.
For St. Olaf football coaches, a typical off-season day includes office work from at 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. followed by in-home recruiting visits or telephone calls to prospective players until 10 p.m. They only break for dinner.
[Recruiting success] is not an accident Its a lot of hard work, Meidt said.
They have been rewarded for their efforts. In addition to garnering in-state talents such as Eric Yuen 08 (Apple Valley, Minn.), Preston St. John 08 (Farmington), and captains James Bechdol 08 (Long Lake) and Thomas Warfield 07 (Minneapolis), the Oles managed to entice several Floridians to commit to the black and gold.
Blake Hamel 08, Horace Gant 08, Deontae Hutchins 08, Trey Williams 06 and Jeremy Thomas 07, all of whom hail from the Sunshine State, filled starting roles for the Oles last season, with Gant garnering All-MIAC honors. Hamel was recently selected to captain the 2006 Ole football squad.
Why St. Olaf?
At first, the idea of traveling from Florida to Minnesota to play football seems counterintuitive. Why would anyone leave beautiful, sunny Florida to attend college and play football in the state of hockey?
Theres nothing like this in Florida, said Thomas, an Orlando native. [Division] I-AA is the smallest they have in Florida. At that level, its all about the football, nothing else.
Meidt echoed Thomas sentiments about the state of college football in Florida.
There are no DIII Christian colleges in Florida, so if youre looking for that you have to go out of state anyway, whether you go to Tennessee or Minnesota.
Consistent with the theme of balance epitomized by DIII athletics, players credit the values emphasized in the St. Olaf football program, a three-fold set of values that includes achievement in the classroom, success on the football field and integrity in personal life, as being influential in their college decision.
We call it the three As, Meidt said. Academics, athletics and atmosphere.
Several players were attracted to St. Olaf for the mixture of academics and athletics that makes the college stand out amongs Division III schools.
When asked why he chose St. Olaf over several other programs, Gant replied, Football and education. Period.
Other players have realigned their priorities since arriving at St. Olaf, buying into Meidts idea of achieving balance between academics and athletics.
When I came up here, I was all about playing football, Thomas said. Eighty percent football, twenty percent education. Today, its definitely different. Football is still a big priority, but getting an education is really why Im here.
While academics and athletics are the most visible aspects of St. Olafs football program, the atmosphere component of Meidts three As truly sets the his program apart.
A lot of colleges offer a good education, and a lot of colleges offer athletics. The atmosphere is what distinguishes us from other programs, Meidt said.
For other players, the family-type relationship among football players at St. Olaf is a real benefit.
I like playing on a team where everyone hangs out together, said Chris Orcasitas 09, who hails from Winter Garden, Fla. At a lot of places you could join the team and never get to know any of your teammates. But here everyone treats everyone else eally well.
Other contributions
The influx of players from Florida has made a noticeable impact on the St. Olaf football program, helping the team to a 15-5 record over the past two seasons. Last season, six starters were from Florida; several other Floridians contributed regularly in varsity games. Their unique blend of speed and size, common among Florida athletes but rare in the Midwest, has helped transform the Oles from a MIAC also-ran into perrenial contenders for the conference title.
Several of Meidts Florida guys have made time to participate in activities outside of their football and academic commitments.
Greg St. Remy 09 and Robert MacDonald 08 play varsity basketball, while Trey Williams 06, Horace Gant 08, LaTravis Henry 07 participate in track and field.
Outside of athletics, Gant performs in St. Olafs one-act play theatre festival, MacDonald and St. Remy have started rap groups, and Williams serves as a residents assistant in Mohn Hall. Several are members of St. Olafs Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Looking to the future
With the recruiting class of 2010 finalized, and recruiting efforts already underway for the class of 2011, the St. Olaf football program looks a lot different than it did just four seasons ago. With consecutive recruiting classes pushing 40 players, and a low dropout rate, the team has even purchased more jerseys and equipment for the 2006.
Though starters Andre Connor 06 and Williams will graduate this year, the state of Florida will still be well represented in the Oles starting and second team lineups this fall. In addition to several new recruits from the Sunshine State, nearly a dozen returners project to be impact players for the 2006 season.
Were going to have at least four Florida guys starting for us next year, said Meidt. And at least eight more on the second team.
Competing against the best of the MIAC year in and year out is a daunting task, but with Meidts Florida pipeline bringing several talented athletes northward each year, the Oles are now poised to move in the conferences upper echelon.
For the complete college experience offered by Meidt and St. Olaf, forsaking a warmer climate is a small price to pay.

1. Seven cases of obsession neurosis are presented in which definite organic signs were disclosed by neurological examination. These signs remind of symptoms observed in epidemic encephalitis. However, it is not probable that one deals in these cases with mild encephalitis, of the epidemic type. They may be due to constitutional factors and to early traumatic toxic and infectious processes.2. In two cases, the type of motility and activity hinted to similar organic factors. In other cases, the psychic symptomatology pointed to an underlying motor impulse disturbance.3. Compulsion neurosis cases of this type show a particular relation to numbers and counting. There is the tendency to iteration and compulsions based upon it. The attitude towards space is changed. The motor drives are in close relation to sadistic attitudes.4. Similar disturbances and a similar psychic symptomatology are present in the obsessions and compulsions observed in post encephalitic cases in which the organic change in the motor impulses is obvious.5. Organic factors influencing the state of consciousness may have an influence in some obsession neurotic cases.6. Psychotherapy has to consider the importance of the motor factors in compulsions and their relations to sadistic attitudes. They have to be appreciated in connection with the libidinous situation. In the majority of the cases treated, good results were obtained.

Connection Between Red Meat and Cancer
By Beth Bence Reinke
Yet another study—this one including more than half a million people—confirms what our docs have been warning us about: Eating red meat increases cancer risk. So we can't help but wonder, Why is red meat so bad? Recent research revealed at least part of the answer as chronic inflammation. Scientists discovered that red meat introduces a certain sugar molecule that the body doesn't recognize, therefore causing an inflammatory immune response. This response leads to chronic inflammation—a known risk factor for cancer. But there is good news: As the inflammation goes down, so does the risk. Speaking of chronic inflammation, instead of using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) to reduce it, simply reach in your spice cabinet. According to Bharat Aggarwal, PhD, professor of cancer medicine at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, natural anti-inflammatories like curcumin (found in turmeric and curry powder) are effective against chronic inflammation without the side effects of prescription or OTC drugs. Aggarwal recommends taking 500 mg of curcumin a day.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
This course teaches you how to effectively hold two types of meetings: meetings with a group of people and one-to-one meetings. Group meetings are for three or more people, and one-to-one meetings are for just two people meeting face to face or through conferencing. Although the principles of effective meetings remain the same whether you're having a group meeting or a one-to-one meeting, the specific processes and tools that you use for these meetings are very different. So it's helpful if you understand the differences between these two types of meetings.
Group meetings are best for companywide or group-wide development, collaboration, and coordination. They're very effective when you want to brainstorm with many different people in a focused setting. They're also affected in coordinating the calendars among many different people, perhaps in a department with a project. One-to-one meetings, on the other hand, are best used for handling the fine details of day-to-day work, such as the quick questions that happen throughout your day when your coworkers call you, email you, or knock on your door.
These kinds of questions can be bundled together and discussed in a regularly scheduled one-to-one meeting. One-to-one meetings are fantastic opportunities for individuals to be heard and validated on a very personal level. I recommend that businesses use both group and one-to-one meetings. Typically, group meetings can be held less often than one-to-one meetings. For example, you might meet weekly on a one-to-one basis with a coworker who asks you questions, but might meet with all the members of your department as a group once per month.
Both types of meeting serve a unique and vital purpose. In this course, I will first cover principles that apply to every type of meeting, especially group meetings, and then later focus on tips and techniques unique to one-to-one meetings.

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Gijima Group Ltd., a South African computer-services company, fell the most in more than two weeks after South Africa's anti-corruption agency started a probe into a government contract.
The stock declined 6.3 percent to 60 cents as of 9:07 a.m. in Johannesburg, the biggest intraday drop since Jan. 4. Gijima will cooperate with a probe by the Public Protector into a 2.3 billion-rand contract awarded to it by the Department of Home Affairs, the company said in a statement, distributed by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange today.
