Making Your Holidays Healthy and Light
Ideas for making traditional favorites more healthful
There's no reason to look at the holidays as a time when you have to deny yourself. The traditional foods you love can fit into a healthful menu with a few slight adjustments. You'll probably find that your family and guests don't even notice the change. And you may just find that eating lighter becomes a new holiday tradition.
"Cutting fat and calories from holiday fare is easier than you think," says Jennifer Ventrelle, MS, RD, LDN, a clinical dietitian and nutrition consultant at Rush. "Most people don't know, for instance, that you can cut the amount of oil in half for many recipes and still come out with the same delicious dish."
Fat and sugar are the two things that add the most calories to your holidays. Here are some easy ways to cut down on fat and sugar to make traditional favorites lighter.
Reducing fat
Reducing sugar
There is one thing you'll probably need more of over the holidays: exercise. "During the holidays, you may be consuming more calories than you usually would, so you need to be more physically active to burn those calories off," says Ventrelle. "A good way to make sure that you get the extra activity is to put it on your schedule: 'Take a walk with my husband and daughter, 7:00 to 8:00.' The more active you are the more energy you'll have to share for the holidays."

Have you ever looked into WDS or its new Windows 7 counterpart?
It has the awesome feature of being free, my favourite price!
We currently have Ghost Soltuion Suite 2.5 which is soon to expire, and I can not see anyway to capture and deploy Windows 7. We missed Vista - So I only throughly know how to deploy XP. I have read some forums that say you can bodge it. But would I be better off looking at something that can do it properly.
So.... What would you lot recommend I do? SCCM, FOG or Bodge....

I like Fog myself, quite easy to set up, and its faster then ghost. Well on out network anyway. Clonezilla isnt bad either? Both free to!

For Windows 7 your best choice is MDT 2010 which can be downloaded for free from Microsoft's website. It uses Windows PE & ImageX to create the images (and you can use WDS to deploy them too).
This is much better than Ghost because you can make changes to the .wim images without having to recreate them from scratch each time. Windows 7 (and Vista images) are also hardware-independent, so you only need to create one image for all of your computers.
By the way, there is a free ~300 page eBook on the TechNet website that explains how to set it up and how it works. It can be downloaded using the following link...

Gabriela Díaz de Gallegos
Assistant Professor of Spanish
Ben Woods 06
Gabriela Díaz de Gallegos, assistant professor of Spanish, was born in Laredo, Texas, and grew up in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. We lived, as my family still does today, a very border lifestyle. When we were younger, we found entertainment on the United States side of the border while our livelihood and schooling was based in Mexico, she says.
While attending Texas A&M International Universitywhere she initially planned to study accountingDíaz de Gallegos was influenced by several teachers, including Chicana writer Norma Cantú. As a result, she became an English and history major with a minor in Spanish. She says, I remember finding great inspiration and passion for the written word. In a sense, literature was the only thing that could transport me to the idea of the sublime, the inspiration of awe and spiritual greatness that was unlike anything I had experienced.
Díaz de Gallegos knew that she wanted to become a teacher. She wanted, in particular, to serve the Latino/a/Chicano/a communities by becoming a role model. I remember as a young woman on the border never thinking about other possibilities for education besides the opportunities afforded locally, and it was because of some incredibly inspiring professors and their altruism that I became, not only a first-generation college graduate, but the only one in my extended family to receive a Ph.D., she says.
As a professor, Díaz de Gallegos attempts to provide students with the linguistic and cultural competency to make them more well-rounded, responsible, committed and aware individuals. I believe there is a level of understanding in every culture that can never be penetrated unless there is a high level of linguistic competency, which facilitates cultural competency, she says. Díaz de Gallegos also integrates her research into her upper-level courses. My research deals with modernization in the Latin American context and how intellectuals have seen their roles shift, particularly through the period of modernity and globalization, and how, in that critique, intellectuals find ways of stating their own relevancy and authority as cultures locust of enunciation shifts from the written word to the visual world of mass media. She believes this approach makes students think about activism, community involvement and their own balance as scholars and global citizens.
In her spare time, Díaz de Gallegos enjoys spending time with her husband, Leon, and her daughter, Nadia.
Phil Hopkins
Assistant Professor of Philosophy
Amanda Lott 07
Phil Hopkins never really became interested in learning until his final years of college, when, for the first time, some of his courses connected around a set of questions and a historical period from which he learned that education could be about seeing the relations between things rather than just acquiring information.
Throughout his undergraduate studies, Hopkins moved between school and the workforcewhere he was a social worker, cop, horse trainer and carpenter. He also started spending extended periods of time in the wild country of the Rocky Mountains from Canada to Mexico. After nine years, he earned a degree in humanities and English. I think it took me so long to finish school because there was always that question of what I was going to do. I eventually realized that college was not about getting a job; it was about getting an education, explains Hopkins.
Though Hopkins returned to work as a police officer after graduation, experiences training other officers and a foray into secondary education helped him realize that he truly enjoyed teaching. So, he returned to school to become a college professor.
Hopkins first heard about Southwestern while studying at St. Johns College, and was impressed with the University. While working toward his doctorate, he took a visiting professor position at Southwestern, which eventually led to a tenure-track position. Southwestern was very much the type of place where I wanted to teach, notes Hopkins. There is a great deal of collaboration between faculty in different departments, a supportive environment and academic freedom. I really like the work I am able to do with students in my classes here.
Hopkins structures his classes so that students are actively engaged in teaching themselves. He wants his students to deeply question things that they think about themselves and the world. My students should expect to have their way of seeing things challenged in order to better understand why they see things the way that they do, he says.
Outside of teaching, Hopkins enjoys spending time with his family and tending to his farm, which he often does with his two children, Becca and Isaac. He also enjoys woodworking and remodeling his house. I have been a kind of geographical, occupational and intellectual gypsy, and have crossed a number of other unusual boundaries in my life. Ive had a rich and rewarding life, but its very nice to be putting down roots here.

A 19-year-old man attempts to flee from police after they find drugs and stolen property in a vehicle he is driving in Tuesday morning. Thomas James Hurtt has been arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, four other counts of possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest.
Woodway officers made an initial traffic stop on a 2002 Chevy vehicle on Willow Bend Drive about 12:45 a.m. During an interview with Hurtt, police determined there was marijuana in the car. Hurtt then fled the scene on foot.
The foot pursuit ended when officers deployed a taser on him.
Quantities of marijuana, methamphetamines and heroin were recovered from the vehicle along with property suspected of being stolen. The suspect's vehicle was impounded.

I really didn't want to write this column. I was all set to do a piece that profiled a couple of the Chiefs' undrafted free agents that they signed, providing you some background information on them and telling you why I think they may have an outside shot at making the roster. The problem is, since Wednesday's tragic passing of Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau from an apparent suicide, the airwaves have been flooded with reaction to this tragic loss and what the NFL should do moving forward about the growing problem of what is now perceived to be football-related deaths. Every time ESPN or local sports radio brings it up, my initial reaction is similar to what many of you are thinking as you read this introduction:
"Enough already! I just want my daily dose of sports, not some tragic moral dilemma! Yes, it's sad, but can't we get back to listening to Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. argue over who had the best draft?"
Trust me, I get it. I'm right there with you. The entire subject is just….well "icky." We turn to sports for entertainment. Our lives are stressful and complicated enough. The last thing we need is to turn on ESPN and have someone make us feel guilty about enjoying our favorite escape from our real world problems. Look, at this point we can't even say for sure that Junior Seau taking his own life had anything to do with his football career, right? I mean, yes, the data we have now certainly points toward the possibility of it being a factor, but unless anyone reading this knew him personally, we really know nothing about who he was outside of the public eye. We know that concussions make depression more likely and depression makes suicide more likely, but unless some results are released regarding the condition of the brain of the deceased, each case is just speculation. So since we don't know for sure, we should just let it fade from our consciousness and go back to enjoying our sports again.
Go back to being entertained. Right?
That's where I'm getting stuck. That's why I'm writing about this and not some no-name undrafted fullback that I think fellow Chiefs die-hards might be able to rally behind. Every time I tell myself to "just let it go," I just picture Russel Crowe's character Maximus from Gladiator yelling at the crowd, "Are you not entertained?!?!"
I think its safe to say that our modern society would never condone actual gladiator battles as part of our main stream culture. The idea of people gathering to watch men fight to the death for entertainment would be considered barbaric. But as the evidence mounts about what football is doing to the men who play it, the term "Gladiators of the Grid Iron" now seems disturbingly accurate. The reason the NFL has escaped this negative stigma for so long is because the gladiators don't actually die in the arena in front of the spectators. They disappear into the shadows and by the time their wounds catch up to them, the spotlight has moved on to a new generation of gladiators.
So at this point you're probably expecting some moral sales pitch about how we should change football so that it's safer for the players. I mean, any decent human being shouldn't be comfortable sitting around cheering for people to give each other life altering injuries, right?
Sadly (at least morally speaking), I'm not going to do that. If I'm honest with myself, I don't want football to change, at least not on the field. I don't want them to take out the kickoff because more people get hurt on that play. I don't want the NFL to change into some glorified arena league where teams just go up and down the field every drive and rarely does anybody really hit anyone else. I mean let's be honest, the NFL is currently discussing not playing the Pro Bowl at all because the product is so bad. Why is it bad? Because nobody is hitting anyone.
Personal confession here, you're not exactly reading the column of some uber-masculine former football player that wants the game to be played the way he played it. I didn't even play football in high school. My senior year I was a 160-pound band geek. I'm still a band geek (I've just gone pro) although my 160-pound days are a thing of the past, but to me my favorite type of football is still "smash mouth." Maybe it's a midwest thing. Maybe it's the fact that I fell in love with the game watching guys like Christian Okoye and Derrick Thomas. I love big hits. I love pounding the football.
Even though I know and understand what this sport that I love is doing to the players I so closely follow, I don't want the game to change. Come this fall, if Eric Berry lays out a WR that's trying to go across the middle on my beloved Chiefs, I will stand up and cheer just like the crazed mobs at the Colosseum did when a gladiator fell. If Tamba Hali comes off the edge and levels Peyton Manning so hard that he's shaken up on the play, I'll probably be jumping up and down going "Manning's Down!!! Manning's Down!!!" Just like Anthony Hargrove got caught doing in the Saints AFC championship game against Brett Favre and the Vikings that has landed him in hot water as part of the bounty scandal.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you feel the same way.
Does that make us horribly selfish people? That we'd rather be entertained to the fullest extent regardless of the effects on those that are entertaining us?
I don't know what the answer to that question is. I know that today's generation of football players now know what they are signing up for. They know the dangers, and they do it willingly. Many of them get paid more in one season than many of us will make in our entire life. So ultimately, I think there is less sympathy for today's players than there is for the "old school" players. I think most of us feel bad for the players that really put the league on the map back when the side effects weren't yet known and players made MUCH less than the multi-million dollar deals that are so common today.
So what is the solution?
Well I think there are three steps that need to happen:
1. The NFL needs to have a full lifetime healthcare plan for players that spend a minimum of four years in the league (the average NFL career). They can argue over what is covered, deductibles, and all the other details, but no player that had a sustained NFL career should be unable to get treatment if they want it. Whether it's a bad back, bad knees, or mental issues stemming from concussions, players should always be able to get treatment. This coverage should go into immediate effect for all former players. If that means that current players get less money, so be it. Eventually they will get that money back when they are the ones whose bodies are failing them.
2. The NFL should provide every player that comes into the league with the medical data of what the NFL does to the average player health wise. Make sure every player knows exactly what they are signing up for and then actually have them sign something saying that they understand the risks. If the NFL is telling players up front what could happen, paying them well, and providing them with lifetime healthcare plans to help with the side effects, then no one can complain. They know the risks, so it's their decision.
3. This is the hard one, but probably the most important of all. It's also where we as members of society can play a huge part. We have to get past the stigma of asking for help being a sign of weakness. Current ESPN analyst and Junior Seau's former Charger teammate Marcellus Wiley told a story of Seau getting treatments for injuries at his own home instead of at the team facilities because he didn't want anyone to see him as hurting or "weak." It's not a huge leap to assume that he probably felt the same shame about needing psychiatric help. He didn't want anyone to know he was hurting. He didn't want anyone to think he was "weak."
This is where I think we as a society have got it all wrong. If admitting that you need help is so scary for people to do, then doesn't it take courage to step forward and actually do it? Isn't that the very definition of courage? Doing something despite the fact that you're scared or unsure of what the outcome will be. So why do we seem to think it will be seen as a sign of weakness?
That's the message that should be playing constantly on ESPN in the wake of a tragedy like this. Instead of spending all the time talking about how amazing the person that is gone was, how about talking about how players in the future need to come forward and set an example of not being ashamed to ask for help?
I mean how much more strength and courage would it have taken for Junior Seau to go public with his depression and say "I don't want to be another Dave Duerson and so I've decided to come forward and admit I need help. Hopefully other players that are struggling will see this and have the strength to come forward too before we lose more of our brothers to this tragedy."
Would anyone have thought less of Junior Seau if he'd done that? Would anyone have thought to themselves "Man, I can't believe someone I used to admire is so weak!" Or would you have thought "Wow, that takes a lot of guts to come forward and admit something like that." I know I would have thought the latter. If a message like that became main stream it could create a culture where more players would feel comfortable to come forward, but someone has to be brave enough to lead the way.
And who knows, maybe having a big name football legend come forward with a confession like that could even have an impact on non-football players who are struggling with depression. Maybe seeing someone they admire admit they have a problem would help them to find the strength to do the same. I mean if a confession like that from a football player helped one person save their life from a similar tragedy wouldn't that be a greater victory than any TD they ever scored on a field?
It's a heavy subject. It's not much fun to talk about, but I think something has to be done.
Maybe not today though, I'm kind of burnt out at this point. I think I'm going to turn on ESPN and see if there are any new NFL tidbits to catch up on, read some of the other articles here at AA, and check out the Chiefs website to see if they have anything new posted.
I need to feed my football addiction. I feel like being entertained.
And don't worry, next week I'll be back to talking about the game itself. That way you can be entertained, too.
As always, thanks for reading and GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burlington, Vermont - September 14, 2009
A coalition of Vermont organizations wants to mandate paid sick time for Vermont workers. And they say it's critically important right now because of the threat of H1N1, and the CDC's recommendation to stay home from school or work if you're showing any signs of illness.
At a press conference this afternoon, the Vermont Paid Sick Days Coalition said more than 106,000 Vermonters do not get paid if they stay home from work, either because of their own illness or a child's. And a recent study by UVM medical students shows that lack of coverage plays a direct role in the health of the population.
"Parents that had fewer household paid sick days were more likely to send their children to school with these symptoms. A lot of times the reason for doing so were due to financial or work related issues," said Jo Conant of the UVM Medical School.
"This bill essentially says that any employee who has been working for a business for a year with at least 10 employees and works 30 hours a week can accumulate one hour of sick time for every 30 hours and it is capped at 56 hours," said Barre City Representative Paul Poirier.
Poirier is one of three sponsors of that legislation. He says people shouldn't view it as another mandate on business, but rather a mechanism to control health care costs.

He has never given up on us although we have ignored him.
He has performed miracles astounding.
He judges fairly and punishes accordingly.
He has died to save us from ourselves.
Many speak his name but few truly know him.
He is THE DOCTOR.

You could change it to FireFighter, EMT, Police Officer, Teacher, and still not be far off base.
Praise be to Gandalf!
Winning so hard.
Wow. XD At least there's proof here.
You know, maybe Gandalf was based on Jesus, but Gandalf has Glamdring and an awesome staff, and he basically kicks ass.
I loved this post! The answer at the end does it all!
Gandalf is also more badass, so he wins
All very amusing and all that but I cannot fail but notice its still a MALE deity getting the press here and reinforcing one of the major failings of the abrahamic religions - the paternalistic and misogynistic nature of gods.
Don't get me wrong I think Gandalf is still a better model than some sandal wearing, bearded, anti-banking, religious hippy freak, ex-fisherman (read "drug smuggler") from a middle eastern country who by any modern measure would be on the USA's No-Fly list, Watch-List, Drone-Strike List or buried in a deep hole in the US torture camp on Cuba never to face a trial on trumped up CIA "evidence"
Does anyone want to have a try at this but using a female figure as an example ?

The expected move has indeed happened. Chris Kluwe has been let go by the Minnesota Vikings. Jeff Locke, who was taken in the fifth round of this year's draft, will be the punter. Kluwe tweeted after his exit physical, "So long Minnesota and thanks for all the fish." He then added:
Thank you to all the fans, my teammates, and the Wilf family for the past 8.5 years. I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) May 6, 2013
A sad sad day for fans. I mean that. Kluwe is a true character in a sport that is sadly devoid of true characters. In my years as a Viking fan, Kluwe has to rank as one of the most colorful and entertaining players. Up there with guys like John Randle and Randy Moss.
Some people will unleash conspiracy theories around Kluwe's release. They will say he was cut because Mike Priefer disagrees with his politics. They will say the buttoned-down corporate Vikings front office was made too nervous by his many stances on political and social issues. Or maybe he was just cut because he was owed $1.45 million. And he wasn't that good of a punter anymore.
Maybe that's all it was.
But there will always be questions. As for the on-field stuff? Jeff Locke is now the punter. That role is especially important to a team like the Vikings who play more of a ball-control style. Controlling field position is huge for a team that wants to go the running-and-defense route. This isn't going to be an explosive big-play team as long as Christian Ponder is QB. That's a fact. So the punter matters.
Oh and just a question. What happened to that open punter competition? Seems like Kluwe never got his turn. Oh well. Onward…

It's up, it's down. Where it will stop, no one seems to know.
The US Dollar has come under some intensified pressure in recent sessions, and the across the board underperformance in the buck suggests that there could be more at play than simply risk on market drivers. While there has been clear evidence of a resumption of risk buying over the past several sessions, which can be attributed to some of the weakness in the Greenback, we would also suggest that market participants are once again looking at the Fed and seeing a central bank that is not necessarily as ready to look to reverse policy as some may have thought. A couple of weeks back the possibility for another round of quantitative easing seemed like it had come off the table, but the latest FOMC meeting has not ruled out the possibility and we suspect that this could be the source of an acceleration in US Dollar selling.

JBL Studio 130 Loudspeakers Review and Test Report
Back in the '60s and '70s, it was easy to tell a professional recording studio from a 'wannabe'. You only had to go in and look at their monitor loudspeakers. All professional recording studios used JBL Studio Monitors. It was as simple as that. Although these days the market has diversified such that JBL no longer has the stranglehold it once had, you'll still find JBL's Studio Monitors in the majority of recording studios right around the world.
The Equipment
Although JBL prefixes these speakers with the word 'Studio'—no doubt to try to garner some of the cred of its real Studio Monitor models, such as the JBL 4429 Studio Monitor—the Studio 130 is a very small two-way design that would be most at home serving as the surround channel speakers in a 5.1-channel home theatre speaker system. Indeed they were released as a part of JBL's 'Studio 1 Series' which comprises two floor-standing models (Studio 190 and Studio 180), a centre-channel (Studio 120c) and two subwoofers (Studio 140P and 150P).
The styling of the Studio 130 seemed odd to me at first, being far taller and narrower than I thought they should be. It wasn't until I looked at the floor-standing models in the 'Studio' range that I realised that their unusually tall and narrow front profile in fact echoes the styling of the floor-standing models in the range. JBL obviously intended that all the speakers should be cosmetically matched, and thus more visually appealing when used together, such as in a home theatre speaker system. That said, the 'tall', narrow style will also work really well if you're using the Studio 130s as front-main speakers, and putting them either side of a video monitor… which you can, because they're magnetically shielded. And when I say 'tall and narrow', each speaker is 349mm high, 165mm wide and 210mm deep.
The narrow front baffle effectively limits the size of the bass/midrange driver that can be fitted to this speaker, so the Studio 130 has a single 100mm diameter bass driver with a 'PolyPlas' cone. The word 'Polyplas' is proprietary to JBL, as is the manufacture of the driver itself, but in essence, the cone is initially formed from paper (cellulose fibre) after which it's coated with a thin layer of plastic (polymer). This construction approach delivers the light weight and high strength of a paper cone, but protects the paper from dampness, which can increase cone weight (slowing it down) and reduce cone stiffness. (Interestingly, JBL's US website says the Studio 130 has "dual 4" PolyPlas low-frequency transducers", but this is simply a mistake that may have been rectified by the time you read this review. The Australian distributor's website [www.e-hifi.com.au] has the correct specifications.)
The dome tweeter in the Studio 130 is 25mm in diameter and the dome appears to be made from metal, though JBL says the material is 'CCMD' which stands for 'Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm.' The nominal crossover frequency is 3kHz and slopes are stated as being 12dB/octave. The dome is positioned at the base of what JBL refers to as a 'bi-radial constant directivity waveguide'. It appeared to me that the tweeter has a phase corrector fitted as well… though this might have been simply to protect the dome. Just in case you were wondering, a 'waveguide' is a device that transforms the radiation characteristics of the driver with which it's associated, and a 'bi-radial' version transforms the radiation in two planes. In the case of the Studio 130 it does so both in the horizontal and in the vertical.
If, like me, you were wondering about the JBL 'Weave design' that JBL says it uses for the Studio 130, the 'Weave' simply refers to the visual appearance of the loudspeaker and, in the Studio 130, this design manifests as the 'bow-tie-shaped' plastic extrusion attached to the front baffle and to the two irregularly-shaped grilles, the top-most of which has six sides, and the bottom-most seven! In each case, two of the sides are also bevelled, creating even more angles.

A University of Virginia student admitted Wednesday to illegally possessing amphetamine. Police, drug officers and haz-mat teams were all called to his apartment off 14th Street in Charlottesville back in March after several reports of chemical odors were reported.
20-year old Ian Diner, a second-year at the time, admitted he was guilty as part of a plea deal with the Commonwealth.
Lab reports indicate Diner was extracting amphetamine from Adderall pills, a stimulant, but not cooking meth as first had been thought.
"The Adderall and the amphetamine are ingredients, but those in and of themselves are not sufficient to make meth," said Charlottesville Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Joe Platania. "He did not have the ingredients to produce methamphetamine in the apartment."
In court the judge said he was pleased to hear Charlottesville was not dealing with a meth situation.
As part of the agreement Diner has agreed to cooperate with police, and give them more information about what he was doing with the drugs. Diner, who has withdrawn from UVA, was a Chemistry major.
In court Wednesday his attorney said he was also recognized with national awards for his work in the Chemistry field when in high school. Although he was only a second-year, Diner was helping to teach a Chemistry class at UVA.
The possession charge carries up to ten years in jail. Under the agreement, Diner likely won't be sentenced to more than probation. The judge will make that call in October.

The meningitis outbreak continues to grow every day. Now more than 100 cases have been confirmed nationwide – 20% of those in Michigan.
22 cases have been confirmed here in Michigan. Two of those were deadly.
One was a 56-year-old woman. The other, 67-year-old Lilian Cary of Howell. She died in September, weeks after being treated with the contaminated shot. Her husband is left dealing with all this, while also wondering if he's been infected. He received the same shot from the Brighton clinic.
Only those who have received spinal injections with the potentially infected steroid – after July 1st – need to be worried. Only four clinics in Michigan received the shipments of the now recalled steroids.
The clinics include:

Breaking in a Pizza Stone with Kate and Nir
As do most newlyweds, Kate and Nir have a neglected pizza stone. It was pretty obvious from looking at it that its only purpose had been reheating a couple rogue slices. There are certainly better ways to reheat a slice (or maybe this one) and most folks who have stones have no idea how to use them, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to show them you don't need a brick oven to pop out a good pie.
This was a particularly rainy night and I foolishly rode my bike across town so I traveled pretty light. All I had was some dough, a bit of cheese, can of tomatoes, small tin of oil and a cheese grater. No peel, no extra flour, no slicer, etc. I like improvising but the underside of a lipped cookie sheet isn't the most efficient means of transporting a dressed dough skin into the oven. I had some near disasters but the resulting pizza, however misshapen, was still pretty tasty.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I adore my main's spec. I play a fire mage. Watching the mage in the original cinematic, flinging fireballs down from on high, was what hooked me on the game in the first place. I'm a pyro at heart, and there is nothing like the feeling of a hot streak!
I've stuck with fire all through. I had an arcane offspec for a while that I'd put up with in certain specific fights, and I have a frost offspec now that's very useful in certain fights, and I was frostfire for a while in its heyday. But the heart of it has always been fire. I'm a raider and I find I can do competitively well, often better than those who switch to the flavor of the month without knowing it well and being able to get the most out of it.
I love the feeling fire gives me. I love how MOBILE fire has become, and how I've grown better in playing it and really learning how to use that mobility to increase my survivability. It makes playing - and raiding - so much fun for me.

Police: Report of man with rifle near Vt schools was falseThe Associated Press | February 16,2013COLCHESTER Police say a report of a man with a rifle near two schools in Colchester turned out to be a false alarm.
Police received information Thursday afternoon about two students who said they saw a man holding what appeared to be a rifle in the woods near the Mallets Bay School.
Police put that school and Colchester Middle School on lockdown while they searched the area.
They later found a man surveying property near the area. He was wearing clothing similar to what the students described and was carrying surveying tools that may have been mistaken for a firearm. He had no weapons.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The once-endangered loons had a record year nesting on some of Vermonts lakes and... Full StoryMONTPELIER U.S. Rep.

New from Bentley for 2012
New cars from Bentley for the 2012 model year.
By July 11, 2011 / Photos by John Lamm & Brenda Priddy
Introduced earlier this year, the 2012 Bentley Continental GT is the first major makeover of the coupe since its 2003 introduction. In addition to new styling, the Continental GT has adapted some of the mechanical changes introduced on earlier Supersports models by shifting the all-wheel-drive split to 40 percent front/60 percent rear from the previous 50/50. Output from the 6.0-liter W-12 engine remains at 567 bhp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. And yes, the car is flex-fuel compatible. Although the factory says little about it, expect a convertible GTC to launch sometime during the model year.
For those who like the original Continental coupe, this is your last chance to buy the old body style in the form of the Supersports Convertible Ice Speed Record (ISR), a street-going version of the cabrio in which Juha Kankkunen hit 205.48 mph on a frozen sea last winter. Just 100 of these commemorative models will be sold. The ISR boasts 631 bhp and 590 lb.-ft. of torque from the 6.0-liter W-12 and is capable of 060-mph acceleration in 3.8 seconds. For those opting for four doors instead of two, the Mulsanne returns unchanged, while the Continental Flying Spur will be offered with an improved infotainment system. The Series 51 is a new option, which will allow buyers of the Flying Spur and Flying Spur Speed models to order exclusive design and trim options. Pricing starts at $193,270 or about $10,000 more than a stock model's.

Printable View
Got my first competition on saturday, was wondering if anyone could give tips to a rookie. Im going to compete in the 220 weightclass with my opening lifts as 315-bench 530-squat and 405-deadlift
How close are those lifts to your current max's?
you said your max bench was 340 and squat 530. Why are you starting with your max squat?
You wanna start real low just to get some numbers in.
Check out this article. This was written by a guy on my PL team and is based on his observations. Very good article!
as 1st comp.
on 1st lift do a weight your get easily. so probably lower the squat a bit.
but most important thing is to relax and enjoy it!!!
My tips:
Eat. Make asure you take lots of food and lots of powerade.
Take your own chalk
Take a spare everything - spare wraps, spare singlet, spare underwear.
Take a handler - you'll need someone to wrap your knees, get you in your suit/shirt, and handoff to you for the bench.
Set your openers so there is absolutely no dobt whatsoever. The;ll set the tone of the meet. You'll be a little nervous... you want that squat opener to fly up - If your tested max is 530, I'd set the opener at 405, make it another warmup.
Make a point to talk to other lifters.
Have fun. Don't worry about the numbers for this one. Worry about getting lifts in and learning.
Its 5 in the morning and im gettin ready to head out, gotta be at school in 45 minutes. My lifts are gonna be as follows, i already hit 550 on squat but it was difficult so ima open with 530 then 560 and depending on how that goes ill decide if i want to increase it 10-20 pounds. Bench i was thinking 320,350, then 370 if it goes well. Deadlift is what im worried about cause my numbers i cant get to 500 so ill open with 405, then 425, then 455-475 depending how i feel
If 550 was hard theres no reason to open with 530. Your openning lift is like another warmup and why blow your wad on your first and second lifts. I would go for 455 or something around there as an openner. Same thing with your bench. If your max is 340 dont start at 320 open at 290 or 300 even, get a feel for competition bench. Also remember to FOLLOW COMMANDS, dont press until they say press and dont rack until they say rack.
Too late for this advice and that's why I didn't bother to post it earlier this morning BUT you can open with whatever you want.
REMEMBER though that first impressions are lasting impressions, so if you take a weight that's too challenging and end up shaving it on the shallow-side, then that's the impression that will be left in the judges' minds, "Oh, I really got to watch this guy.. Last time he was shallow...". If you take the first squat clean, confident, and deep, the judges might, just might, cut you a break on later attempts.
I got dq'd during bench because i use my whole body to push up, i was benching 80+ pounds over everyone else but i got beat in squat cause i was 224 and was in the 245 weight class there was a 19 year old who squated 650. The strongest guy there was "Tiny" from taylor squated 820 benched 480 and deadlifted 620
some strong lads in there.
was the 19 year old equipped?
did you get anyone to go through the becnh technique with you, before you lifted?
Any experience is good experience, did yah have fun?
I had serveral people tell me that if i wanted to compete my bench method was going to be a problem, keeping back and butt on the bench. I usually arch my back and push my whole body to lift which i think is one of the main reasons im hitting around 380 touch and go on it. The guy was a monster big black guy 350+ from taylor high school. It was fun but i got a little tired after 12 hours of lifting. What blew my mind more then anything was the girls, i would of never guessed in my life that there were so many hot girls who liked to lift they were all below 130 weightclasses tho
Nice, so you raise always raise your whole body when you bench?
what did you end up squatting? did you even make a squat since you opened so high?
I was going to try squattin 600 in my lifts, 485 then 430 then see how it felt from there ive worked with 450+ and done just fine but i blew my second lift so i repeated it for my third and nailed it easy. I ended up doin a box squat on my 2nd and couldnt get low enough cause i wasnt used to workin with a suit and couldnt hit my parallel fast enough i widened my stance and got the lift easy. When I bench i use my whole body my butt comes inches of the bench and i press it all the way up, i always heard powerlifters concidered bench a fullbody workout so i thought id make it that way, only problem is i always get hamstring cramps if i go to heavy before im warm and i cant do that in competitions
I'm sorry, but I really didn't understand your post at all.
How much did you successfully squat?
How much did you successfully bench?
How much did you successfully deadlift?
Squat-530 blew my 2nd lift so had to repeat because i almost racked it
Bench- Dq'd
Deadlift- Dq'd
How'd you get dq'd on the deads???
more importantly, how did you deadlift if you were dq'd on bench? if you are dq'd on that you cant go on to do the other lifts...
Some meet directors will let you keep lifting even if you bomb out.
By Dead-dq'd i meant i couldnt deadlift because i was dq'd from bench, thought yall would catch that
Gee.. whomever Tiny is, he should be list on the World Record Lifting site.. but I don't see him there... I believe that would he would be the first HS'er to squat more the 800.. http://www.apa-wpa.com/super.html
18-19 Non Tested SQ- 605 W. Baker BP-550 J. Ward DL-575 N. Fitzpatrick TOT-1685 W. Baker
18-19 Drug Tested SQ- 605 W. Baker BP-450 A. Gonzalez DL-550 W. Baker TOT-1685 W. Baker
And his close to 2000 total would blow them away too...
lol thats his nickname i have no idea what his real name is thats what they all call him, there was atleast 3 people squatting over 800 at the meet yesturday regional qualifier. I asked him what he squatted his sophmore year and it was 750 in the last meet, i hate that guy. He totaled over 1900

Crew growing popular among local students
Michael Malloy, Opinion Editor
May 12, 2014
Students at Rio are being swept away by the wave of a lesser-known sport quickly gaining on traditional high school sports. Crew, also known as rowing, is a highly competitive club sport, especially in the West Coast region, with many athletes competing for upcoming college applications. "I think rowing in college would be a great way to meet new people and continue doing the sport I love," said senior Christian Noack, a member of the Upper Natomas... READ MORE »

Why General Motors (GM) Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Motors (GM) dipped 2.42% to $34.29 at 12:31 p.m. on Tuesday after a former Delphi (DLPH) employee filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the U.S. automaker and his former employer.
The suit, filed by Steve Smith in Alabama state court on Monday, claims GM concealed a faulty ignition switch, provided by Delphi, that was responsible for a crash that killed his daughter, Aubrey Wallace Williams. According to Reuters, the suit claims the girl was driving a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt on an Alabama highway when the ignition switch failed, which caused the engine to shut off and turned off the power. Williams could not control the car and crossed into another lane, where an 18-wheeler truck struck the vehicle. Williams was killed instantly, according to the lawsuit.
The suit does not specify how much Smith is seeking in damages.
GM recalled 1.6 million vehicles in February even though it knew about ignition switch issues as early as 2001. The company provided dealers with suggested solutions in 2005. GM has tied the ignition switch problem to 12 deaths and has apologized for the way it has handled the recall.Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months.

The good times continued for Texas softball Sunday as the Longhorns finished a clean sweep of the NCAA Tournament's Austin Regional with a 6-0 win over South Carolina at McCombs Field.
It is the first time since 2006 that Texas, the tournament's 4th-overall seed, went undefeated in a regional. They advance to host next weekend's Super Regional against either Florida State or South Alabama.
Vista Ridge alum Taylor Thom provided all the offense for the Horns on Sunday with a two-run homer in the first inning followed by a fifth-inning grand slam. Bowie's Blaire Luna overcame a shaky start to get the win on the mound. Luna started all three games for Texas in this weekend's regional.
The Longhorns outscored its opponents 22-2 in the three games this weekend.

Originally published at: http://www.howtogeek.com/172042/how-to-organize-the-all-apps-list-on-windows-8/
Windows 8 awkwardly forces the Start menu programs list into a flat "All Apps" list. Many programs haven't been properly updated for this new reality and fill your All Apps list with useless shortcuts to help files, websites, and uninstallers.
Wow. This seems like an awful lot of work just to get the 8.1 Start Menu to look functional.
It's for this reason, you will never see Windows 8 in the corporate world. Far, far too much "tweaking".
I'll stay with 7.
Another reason to stick with Windows 7 for sure... Just installing Win 2012 Server, and at least there is no 'Charms' menu on that one (although you still have a stupid Start Menu and pull-out access bar)
Window 7 rocks! Windows 8 . . . not so much. Yuck.
I actually really like Server 2012. It's by far the best server OS Microsoft has ever done. I don't use the GUI so much as the Server Manager feature. You can do everything right from there without actually RDP-ing to a server. Some fantastic features and really quick.
i don't think it is necessary to rearrange the all apps menu in win 8.we did this in win 7 because the desktop in win 7 doesn't allow categorization.the start screen in win 8 is in fact already a desktop with categorization.thus we don't need to repeat the categorization in the all apps menu.

Second of Three Parts
THE GOOD, the bad, and the dead combine, in terms of projects and activities, under the Aquino administration's Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), which is now wreaking havoc on relations between institutions, as well as between the government and the citizens.
Put aside the lack of transparency in details about which legislators and local officials pushed what projects, where, and for how much, under the "various priority local projects" funded by billions of DAP pesos. To date, the pace, quality, and impact of project implementation under DAP is a quizzical record.

Gold GouramiFamily: Osphronemidae Trichopodus trichopterusPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy David Brough
The beautiful color of the Gold Gourami makes this a very desirable addition to an aquarium, but it does get big and can become belligerent to small tank mates!
The Gold Gourami is a very attractive color-morph of the Three Spot Gourami Trichopodus trichopterus (previously Trichogaster trichopterus). It is one of the more vibrant colored varieties. It has a pretty gold tone and a deeper toned striped patterning along the back, but it lacks the two dark spots seen on its parentage. This pretty fish makes an attractive addition to the aquarium.
This gourami has been developed in captivity for the aquarium trade, first appearing in 1970. Breeders selectively pair individuals for their desired coloration and strengthened it over several generations. Other mutations include a silver blue variety with darker blue markings that was developed from the Blue Gourami. It is known as the Cosby Gourami after the American breeder named Cosby that developed it. The Cosby Gourami was further developed into the Opaline Gourami or Marbled Gourami. A silver color form called the Platinum Gourami also appeared in 1970.
These are Labyrinth fish, also called Anabantoids, which are distinguished by having a "labyrinth organ". This organ allows them to get air at the surface of the water. Like other fish they have the ability to pass water through their gills to obtain oxygen, but they are also able to breathe atmospheric oxygen. Another characteristic of the labyrinth fish is that of being a bubble nest builders. The male will build a bubble nest at the surface of the water and once the female lays the eggs, he will place them in his nest and guard them until they hatch.
Though the coloring is much different than their predecessors in most other aspects the Gold Gouramis is very similar. They are the same in size and care requirements, its only the temperament of the adults that is a bit more contentious. These are certainly some of the hardiest fish available to the aquarist, and make excellent first fish for people entering the hobby. They are long lived fish with each having a remarkably individual personality. They will use their pelvic fins to feel their environment and even feel their tank mates. They also seem to be quite aware of their owners.
This gourami is considered a good community fish when small, but that can change as they mature. Some will remain peaceful while others can become belligerent, sometimes attacking smaller fish. Among themselves the males are territorial and will squabble. The best tankmates are other fish that are of similar size and temperament.
They can get quite large, up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length, though most are a bit smaller than that in the aquarium. Juveniles will soon outgrow a small aquarium and then will need to be provided with more space. When young they can easily be housed in a 15 - 20 gallon aquarium, but adults will do better with at least 35 gallons. The tank should be decorated in a way which allows both the dominant and quieter personality type fish to live happily. Provide some densely planted areas to create a few hiding places and they will also appreciate the cover of floating plants for some shadowy areas.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Gold Gourami is a captive bred color-morph of the Three Spot Gourami that first appeared in the aquarium industry in 1970. The Three Spot Gourami Trichopodus trichopterus (previously Trichogaster trichopterus) was described by Pallas in 1770. It is found widespread throughout continental southeast Asia and Indonesia.
In nature the Three Spot Gouramis occur in lowland wetlands. They are found in marshes, swamps to peatlands, as well as flowing streams and canals. They inhabit shallow waters that are sluggish or standing still, but with a lot of aquatic vegetation. They are omnivorous in nature and feed on crustaceans, insect larvae, and zooplankton.
- Scientific Name: Trichopodus trichopterus
- Social Grouping: Groups - In nature this species lives communally with other peaceful species.
- IUCN Red List: NE - Not Evaluated or not listed - There are no wild populations of this color morph.
The Gold Gourami is an elongated fish and somewhat compressed laterally. The fins are rounded and relatively large. The ventral fins are threadlike and carry touch-sensitive cells that are extremely perceptive. This fish has a labyrinth organ, a part of the fish which allows it to absorb atmospheric oxygen directly into the bloodstream. It can reach about 6 inches (15 cm) in length, but will generally be a bit smaller in the aquarium. They will be able to breed at about 3 inches (7.5 cm). They have an average lifespan of 4 to 6 years, but can live longer with good care.
The body color is a pretty gold tone with a deeper toned striped patterning along the back. The two dark spots seen on the Three-spot Gourami are absent. White spots extend on to the fins, giving them a very attractive pattern.
- Size of fish - inches: 5.9 inches (15.01 cm) - They can reach almost 6" (15 cm), but are usually a bit smaller in the aquarium. They will breed at about 3" (7.5 cm).
- Lifespan: 4 years - The average lifespan is 4 - 6 years, but with proper care they can live longer.
This fish is undemanding and can tolerate a range of tank conditions. It will generally accept a wide variety of foods and is fairly easy to breed. However as these fish age they can become a bit nippy. Being quite hardy it can be a good choice for the first time fish keeper, but with its more aggressive tendencies as it matures, tankmates will to be selected with some care.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Very Hardy
- Aquarist Experience Level: Beginner - They are hardy, so good for a beginner in that respect, but they do become more aggressive as they mature, so tankmates need to be selected with some care.
The Gold Gouramis are omnivorous and will generally eat all kinds of live, fresh, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a quality flake or pellet food as the base to the diet. Supplementation should include white worms, blood worms, brine shrimp, or any other suitable substitute. Fresh vegetables can be offered as well, blanched lettuce being a good option for many aquarists. Generally feed once or twice a day.
An interesting characteristic of the Three-spot gourami varieties (as well as the Pearl Gourami), is that they are well known for eating hydra. The hydra is a tiny pest that has tentacles with a venom. They will capture very small fish and paralyze them with the venom and then hold them fast with the tentacles until eaten. If you have a hydra problem in your aquarium, here is your solution.
- Diet Type: Omnivore
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
- Meaty Food: Some of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Daily - Generally feed once or twice a day.
These gouramis are extremely hardy fish. Although the labyrinth organ allows the fish to survive in oxygen depleted water, it is a common misconception that this makes water changes unnecessary. This is hardly the case as these fish will suffer the same tissue damage from built up toxins as any other fish. Regular water changes are a must with 25% weekly being recommended.
- Water Changes: Weekly - Weekly water changes of 25% are recommended.
The Gold Gourami will swim in all parts of the tank. Juveniles can easily housed in a 15 - 20 gallon aquarium, but as they grow to adult size they will need at least 35 gallons or more. Keep the tank in a room with a temperature as close as possible to the tank water to prevent damaging the labyrinth organ. The tank should have an efficient filtration system but should not to create too much of a current. This fish will be bothered by a strong current in the tank, especially if the tank is small. Air stones can help provide well oxygenated water.
The tank should be decorated in a way which allows both the dominant and quieter personality type fish to live happily. This means the construction of a few hiding places and some dense plant cover. These gouramis will show their colors best on a dark substrate. They also like the cover of floating plants, however they will regularly breath air at the surface so its important to have some open areas.
- Minimum Tank Size: 35 gal (132 L) - Juveniles can be kept in a a 15 - 20 gallon aquarium, but adults need more space.
- Suitable for Nano Tank: Sometimes
- Substrate Type: Any
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 73.0 to 82.0° F (22.8 to 27.8° C) - Keep the surrounding room temperature consistent with the water temperature will help avoid trauma to the labyrinth organ.
- Breeding Temperature: 80.0° F - They will breed with temperatures raised to about 80° F (26° C).
- Range ph: 6.0-8.8
- Hardness Range: 5 - 35 dGH
- Brackish: No
- Water Movement: Weak - This fish doesn't like a strong current in the tank, especially if the tank is small.
- Water Region: All - The Gold Gourami will spend time at all levels of the aquarium.
Although this fish is merely a color morph, it is a more belligerent fish in the community tank than the Blue Gourami and the males tend to fight amongst themselves. A community tank is not out of the question, but some thought must be put into selecting robust tankmates of a moderate size. Individuals will show varying degrees of aggression as they mature, with some being very belligerent and others being more peaceful. These species have been known to attack smaller fish. The aquarist should be prepared to adapt their tank to suit all personality types.
A mix of neutral personalities is an ideal goal for the range of tank mates. You should not include fish which will provoke this species into aggression as they are often passionate fighters. Fin nippers and gouramis should absolutely never be mixed. The trailing pelvic fins and generally slower movement of this gourami make it the perfect victim for nippers. Being skilled hunters, extremely small fish or fish fry rarely last long.
Good tankmates for this fish are robust cyprinid species like barbs, but avoid those that are notorious fin nippers like Tiger Barbs and Clown Barbs. Other good selections include larger characins, loricariid catfish from South America, and loaches. They can be kept with other medium to large gouramis, but bullying between gouramis is a likely scenario. These fish, which is typical of the family, are fixated on constantly working out the details of the hierarchy.
- Venomous: No
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive - This color morph of the Blue Gourami is comparatively more belligerent. This fish may be rough with smaller tankmates, increasingly so as it ages. It is also a skilled hunter so smaller tankmates will probably be consumed.
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes - As they mature some remain peaceful while other can become quite belligerent. Males are territorial and will tussle amongst themselves, becoming very aggressive when breeding.
- Peaceful fish (): Safe - Will need to monitor compatibility as the fish matures.
- Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor
- Aggressive (): Threat
- Large Semi-Aggressive (): Threat
- Large Aggressive, Predatory (): Threat
- Slow Swimmers & Eaters (): Monitor - Gouramis can be quick at feeding time. Make sure any fish that are not so quick get fed if you are keeping them with gouramis.
- Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: May be aggressive
- Plants: Safe
The male Gold Gourami has a longer and more pointed dorsal fin while the female's is shorter and rounded.
Like most Labyrinth fish, the Gold Gouramis are bubble nest builders. Breeding is fairly easy and providing a breeding tank that is to their liking is perhaps the biggest challenge. A pair will be most likely to spawn if there is a fair amount of plants, a good sized surface area, and the temperature is to their liking. Prior to spawning they should be well conditioned with small offerings of live and frozen foods several times a day. When well fed, females should begin filling out with eggs, appearing very plump.
An individual breeding tank of 10 to 20 gallons or more should be set up. A shallow water level is not as critical for this fish as it is for other Labyrinth fish species, but it can be kept at about 5 - 6" (13 - 15 cm). Normal water parameters are fine but raise the temperature to about 80° F (26° C). You can add a small gently air-powered sponge filter or some peat filtration, but the tank current should be minimal. Many aquarists find that floating plants, or stem plants grown to the surface, or any other floating debris will help keep the bubble nest in place.
A healthy pair of adults should be introduced into the breeding tank. The male will spend a lot of time building a large bubble nest, usually in a corner. Once the nest had been built the male will begin a courtship display to entice the female to spawn. He will swim back and forth, flaring his fins and raising his tail until the female allows him to wrap his body around hers and the two will spawn. Their eggs as well as the fry, are lighter than water and float to the top and be deposited in the nest. If the female was well filled out the spawn can be huge, between 700 to 800 eggs.
The female must be removed after the eggs are produced or she risks being killed by the male. The male will tend the nest and guard the eggs until they hatch. After hatching the fry will soon emerge from the nest and become free swimming. This is when the male should be removed or he might eat the fry which emerge from the nest. Free swimming fry can be fed infusoria or a liquid fry food until they are large enough to eat baby brine shrimp. See the description of breeding techniques in: Breeding Freshwater Fish: Anabantoids. Also see Fish Food for Fry for information about types of foods for raising the young.
- Ease of Breeding: Easy
Gold Gouramis are very hardy so disease is not usually a problem in a well maintained aquarium. Some diseases they are prone to are bacterial infections, constipation and Hole in the Head if good water quality, nutrition, and maintenance is not provided. With any additions to a tank such as new fish, plants, substrates, and decorations there is a risk of introducing disease. It's advisable to properly clean or quarantine anything that you want add to an established tank prior to introduction, so as not to upset the balance.
These fish are very resilient but knowing the signs of illness, and catching and treating them early makes a huge difference. An outbreak of disease can often be limited to just one or a few fishes if you deal with it at an early stage. The best way to proactively prevent disease is to give your fish the proper environment and a well balanced diet. The closer to their natural habitat the less stress the fish will have, making them healthier and happy. A stressed fish will is more likely to acquire disease. For information about freshwater fish diseases and illnesses, see Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments.
The Gold Gourami is readily available both in stores and online and is moderately priced.

Jagoex -
1) If anyone can be kept alive in Arena they will do amazing.
Playing on my resto shaman alt, whos badly geared, paired with a ret palladin(also badly geared but irl freind). The games we've won are directly retlated to the games I stayed alive.
I think it just took locks a while to really find out their new playstyle away from the long favored SL/SL spec.
Warriors are in dire need of pvp help imo. From what I've seen, playing a warrior main, we seem to remain the only class completely dependent on our teammates for everything.
And I think its kind of dumb to make an argument that locks pair nicely with DKs and holy pals. They are the most powerful class / spec in arena they pair nicely with anyone competant.

stern played along.. hey u guys are getting quiet, losing enthusiasm when they stopped booing, putting his ends up to encourage them to boo more, making quips.. only in america.. its good to boo power and hold them accountable while recognizing they are socially superior and necessary. worshipping power is how u get an aaron hernandez!
