NORFOLK, VA- Norfolk goaltender John Gibson made 28 saves, while Chris Wagner netted a shorthanded to lead the Norfolk Admirals to a 2-1 win over the Syracuse Crunch Saturday night at Scope.
Wagner gloved down the pass and raced into the Syracuse zone before wristing a puck into the top shelf for an early 1-0 lead. The goal at 3:08 was Wagner's seventh of the year and the eighth shorthanded goal of the season for Norfolk.
Later in the first on the power play, Devante Smith-Pelly crashed the net and shoveled a loose puck along the crease to Emerson Etem. The 21-year old lifted it over the leg of an outstretched leg for the second Norfolk goal at 12:56 of the opening period.
The score stayed put throughout the second and the Admirals took the two-goal advantage to the final frame.The Crunch finally broke into the scoring column with 8:27 left to play in regulation. On the man-advantage, defenseman Dmitry Korobov held the puck along the blue line high in the slot. Korobov surveyed the Norfolk penalty kill before unwinding a rocket into traffic at the goal front.
Gibson couldn't spot the puck as it found its way through several bodies, including his, and tallied the first marker for the Crunch. The Syracuse goal ended a shutout sequence of nearly 111 minutes (111:33) by Gibson this weekend. Gibson earned a 17-save shutout win on Friday. A Steve Eminger penalty made things interesting late in the contest, but the Admirals stood tall on the penalty kill to end the game and secured the 2-1 win over the Crunch.
The win Saturday night closed out Norfolk's weekend sweep of Syracuse and marked their seventh win in the last ten games. Gibson stopped 28 of 29 shots faced and his counterpart Desjardins turned away 25 pucks. Gibson allowed just one goal in six periods of play this weekend, stopping a total of 45 of 46 shots in the two games.
Gibson picked up his 17th win of the season as the Admirals improved to 27-15-1-7 (62pts). Cedric Desjardins lost his thirteenth of the year in regulation while Syracuse lost their ninth in the last ten games. Norfolk moves up into fifth in the Eastern Conference with the win and the Crunch now sit in fourteenth out of 15 teams in the conference.

Dr. Tom Prichard joined the VOC Wrestling Nation recently to give his thoughts on the debut of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns, working with the trio down at FCW, his new wrestling project, and the overall state of the wrestling business. The VOC Wrestling Nation is the flagship program of the VOC Nation Radio Network, and can be heard every Wednesday at 5PM ET worldwide at http://vocnation.com. Here are some highlights from the chat with Dr. Tom:
On the Rollins, Ambrose, Reigns debut: "I don't know if you can find anything in wrestling that hasn't been done before, but I look at it the other way. At least these guys finally had the opportunity not to just show up, but to make an impact on a (top) guy like Ryback, who is making an impact right now."
On the WWE Product: "WWE is in a transitional period. The powers that be (HHH) know that they need new blood. The lifeblood of the business is getting new talent and putting them in the mix."
On Roman Reigns: "Out of the three, Roman Reigns is the greenest, yet he still has talent and untapped potential and charisma to be a major star. Reigns is Sika's son, so he has the bloodline. He played football in the past, and has overcome a number of personal challenges in his life that none of us can ever imagine."
On which of Rollins, Ambrose, or Reigns has the most star potential: "The dark horse is Roman Reigns. As far as charisma and working ability, Ambrose is at the top of the list. Rollins has the passion and the attitude that can put you over the top. You have three guys that have their own individual "it factors". All three guys are smart. Ambrose is crazy like a fox. Rollins is wild like a maverick, but finally understands that there are rules that you need to play by; he has his beliefs, and he won't sacrifice what he believes in, but he's finally figured out (how to work the system)."
On his departure from WWE developmental: "When anyone new comes in, they want their team. When Bill DeMott came back, I knew that the writing was on the wall. Canyon Cemen, who took over Ty Bailey's place, is very new to the business and really knows nothing. I was very honest with him when I probably shouldn't have been. I told him that he came across like an a—hole in his initial meeting with the talent, and the writing was on the wall from there. I understand how it works. HHH wants his own people. If they can't produce stars, but proof will be in the ratings."
On how to be successful in wrestling: "It's more how you handle yourself backstage than anything. If you show up at the arena at 12:30, you have 9 hours before showtime where the (powers that be) can see you and judge you. Someone much wiser than I told me on a plane ride not too long ago, that you have to understand who you can be honest with and who you can't."
On his new wrestling school: We have a new wrestling project coming to Knoxville called Next Level Wrestling. It's going to start in January. January 3rd is the open house for Next Level Training (the wrestling school). Http://vocnation.com will have all of the information regarding the project as it develops.

NVDAILY.COM | Opinion
Posted September 10, 2013 | Leave a comment
Letter to the Editor: Now is not the time to commit our troops
The New York Times is squarely against military action at Syria by us, judging by the Sept. 6 front-page treatment of the rebels executing army captives -- one of many examples of atrocities by those we purport to "tip the momentum" in favor of.
This is noteworthy because the Times has consistently supported this president's agenda -- even to and beyond the edge of self-parody.
This is a war in which we had lost the opportunity of having any positive influence with over two years ago.
The reality is that this country has been in retreat from its global preeminence by the default of indifference since 2009. The last remaining people on the planet unaware of this fact reside in this country.
The most chilling example of why supporting the president's proposal for intervention is a very bad idea was delivered by the president himself in Stockholm on Sept. 4. Now, it is not his reputation at stake; now, he did not draw the red line in this instance.
These outrageous excuses by inversion are befitting an impetuous adolescent -- not of a U.S. president.
He has demonstrated time and again that he is incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions unless he considers the results to be self-affirming.
Nobody with any sense who's been paying attention truly believes him any more.
Except in a clearly defensive military action, we must not commit our troops into harm's way.
Not at this time; not by this president.

Pictures -- "Fort Monroe attacks the Southern Coast"
In addition to commanding Hampton Roads and the Peninsula land corridor to Richmond, Fort Monroe boasted a deep-water anchorage and wharves that made it a crucial springboard for a series of successful amphibious expeditions to the Southern coast. Beginning with Hatteras Inlet in August 1861, the expeditions ranged as far as New Orleans and, by the end of the war, took the last major Southern port at Wilmington, N.C. They were the largest amphibious expeditions mounted by the U.S. until World War II. -- Mark St. John Erickson

The Springboard at Fort Monroe
This 1862 prints shows the Federal blockading fleet and other ships anchored off Fort Monroe, with the Union troops at Camp Hamilton in the foreground. The camp provided many of the troops for the amphibious expeditions launched from Fort Monroe, including the attack on Hatteras Island in August 1861.

Update on Mark Canterbury.
He had his second surgery on his leg yesterday. He is answering questions by nodding his head. He can't speak due to having a tube down his throat. He is on a ventilator.
The doctor said he is right where they want him to be. He is not out of the woods yet. His lungs are the biggest hurdle right now.

In this case, Hatteras Yachts, a unit of Brunswick Corp., will be consolidating its Hatteras Yachts and Cabo Yachts brands in North Carolina, where both brands have already been sharing services. Hatteras president James R. Meyer believes that moving Cabo Yachts from its Southern California location will be beneficial for the company for many reasons. At least 300 jobs will be relocated to North Carolina. The Cabo Yachts plant will be closed by the end of the year. This is just one example of yacht makes that are undergoing changes.

Two events this weekend at Lake Tahoe offer a study in contrasts.
Bass Camp at MontBleu Outdoor Event Center centers on electronic dance music and features intense big-screen visuals; Wanderlust at Squaw Valley provides an opportunity to use the lake's natural splendors to enhance the meditation experience.
British Columbia's Excision is set to headline Bass Camp and will use the Executioner Video & Lighting Installation that was seen earlier this year at Coachella. The Executioner will project massive 3-D animations synced to Excision's set.
Earplugs may be advisable, as organizers promise more than 100,000 watts of sound.
Also on the bill: Adventure Club; the Dubstep Duo from Montreal; Seven Lions from Santa Barbara; the M Machine Live from San Francisco; Flasko Daniels from San Francisco; and AndDrop!, also, from the Bay Area, which just saw its debut EP "Boogaloo" hit the top spot on the Beatport chart.
Locals who will open the show include Dead Robot and BeatKarma.
Bass Camp is scheduled for Saturday beginning at 4 p.m.; $35 in advance; Ticketmaster.com.
Wanderlust is a three-day festival, running today through Sunday, bringing to the lake famous yoga instructors including Seane Corn, Shiva Rea and Rod Stryker, as well as musical performers of several styles.
Most full-package tickets have been snapped up, but individual entry into various events is still possible, including a DJ set by Moby (10-11:30 p.m. Saturday, $25) and his acoustic set with strings (4-5:15 p.m. Sunday, $15).
There's even stand-up paddleboard yoga that doesn't pop up often. Visit squaw.wanderlustfestival .com

Aziz - Power In Attention
Posted in
@ 21-02-2011
It's been a while since i was able to share a hiphop-record. There is only one reason for this, all new stuff i ran into was pretty lame. I was absolutely in love with Kanye's masterpiece last Autumn and it's not easy to stumble upon something that comes even near to that supreme record.
is the 1st rapper with an album this year i think is worth posting. The song above is fresh, smart & i can listen to it over and over again. The entire mixtape
Leave Me Az Iz
is really good & you can download it for free, so i suggest you do so..! If there is a better hiphop-record out there so far, i must've missed it..

4 Stocks that will Pad Your Portfolio
Brendan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Utility companies are here to stay.
The services these companies provide are always in demand, even if other industries are hurting. Furthermore, utility stocks tend to offer above-market dividends and less risk when the market is volatile. So, why not consider positioning yourself to allow the following four utility companies to provide more security and size to your investments?
It is nearly a foolproof plan.
Consider Southern Company (NYSE: SO). With a market cap of $38.85 billion and 4.4 million customers, Southern is one of the largest utility companies in America. Last week, Southern announced its 261st consecutive quarterly dividend at $0.49 a share as of record Feb. 4, 2014, payable in March. You can still jump on board!
In addition to providing consistent—and high—dividend yields, analysts are projecting 5% annual growth for the next 5 years. Also, revenue for the last quarter is expected to be 23.9% higher than the same quarter last year.
Southern boasts an impressive ROE of over 12%. Coupled with its cash position seen in the below graph, an A credit rating from Standard and Poor's, the natural monopoly of the utility industry (excluding de-regulated states), and the competitive advantage Southern owns due to its location, I think that this stock is a smashing hit. Watch for the earnings report release on Jan. 30 and expect great growth in years to come.
SO Cash and Equivalents data by YCharts
Second, I recommend Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE: DUK). As the largest electric power holding company in the U.S. and a diversified utility company (market cap of $47.38 billion), Duke will grow well into the future. Similar to Southern, Duke boasts a strong cash position and dividend payment history—the firm has paid every quarterly dividend over the past 86 years. Even with the low interest rates set by the Federal Reserve and central banks (bond holders beware), Duke is positioned to provide investors with generous payments.
A study released by Barclays declared that Duke will trade at a 10%-15% premium to the utility sector after outlining its long-term growth strategy at a public meeting in February. The analysts anticipate a total annualized return of 10.6%—great news if you're holding some shares. I would expect Duke's shares to rise after it announces 4th quarter earnings on Feb. 13.
DUK Dividend Yield data by YCharts
Next, consider NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE). NextEra Energy serves customers in Florida and has a market cap of $30.68 billion. Next Era positions itself as the leading renewable energy company in America. It produces nearly 93% of its power from renewable, nuclear, or natural gas sources—not coal. As a result, many people support NextEra's initiatives. Furthermore, NextEra is able to adjust to the energy and economic conditions because of the various sources from which it generates its power, while its competitors suffer.
Additionally, analysts are expecting income of $0.96 per share after the firm releases its earnings report, a 3.2% rise from the same quarter last year. NextEra boasts a remarkable ROE, consistent dividend payments, and a BBB bond rating. I anticipate that NextEra will continue to reach new highs during 2013.
SO Return on Equity data by YCharts
Dominion Resources (NYSE: D) has a market cap of $30.96 billion and owns a remarkable 27 gigawatts of generation capacity, 11,000 miles of natural gas transmission, and 6,300 miles of electric transmission lines. Dominion is involved in a variety of energy commodities—from energy generation to distribution. As a result, the company is able to mitigate potential risks like volatile energy prices.
Like the aforementioned companies, Dominion consistently pays dividends—in fact, it just paid its 340th consecutive dividend. The firm's board recently announced that Dominion is paying a $0.5625 per share dividend in March to shareholders of record by Feb. 28. Also, as seen by the above graph, Dominion has posted a historically high ROE for investors. The company is announcing its earnings report on Jan. 31.
As mentioned with Southern, each of the utility companies above serves customers in a different geographic region. None of them directly competes against each other for customers. Additionally, each company is the central energy provider to their regions of service. If you're looking for cash, and long term growth, these companies are good choices for you.

Processus d'évolution du prix des actions en temps continu et efficience du marché boursier
AbstractThe primary focus of the paper is on the main economic assumptions that are sufficient for returns to be distributed according to Itô diffusion processes defined as representations of the returns on financial assets. The paper mainly discusses the degree of generally of these assumptions and also provides a useful derivation of Itô's lemma. In the context of the efficient market hypothesis it is shown that an Itô process in itself does not imply that it follows a martingale or a random walk nor that returns are necessarily normally distributed.

Fashion's most famous faces have been plunged into mourning following the death of modeling agency boss John Casablancas.
Casablancas, who founded the famous Elite Model Management in 1972, died in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday following a battle with cancer, according to the New York Times.
The 70-year-old Casablancas was responsible for launching the careers of some of the industry's most-well known stars, including Iman, Andie MacDowell, Kim Alexis, Paulina Porizkova, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Claudia Schiffer. He is also credited with ushering in the era of the world's first supermodels in the 1990s.
His death has prompted an outpouring of grief on social media from stars of the modeling world.
Supermodel Joanna Krupa remembered her friend and mentor in a post on Facebook, writing, "RIP John Casablancas... one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life and the Closest friend and mentor... The creator of the biggest supermodels in the world. May his legacy live forever and his kind heart. He will be missed."
Alessandra Ambrosio writes in a post on Twitter, "Sad Day! Rest in peace John Casablancas! Thank you for all!" and Adriana Lima adds, "Just found out sad news on the passing of John Casablanca (sic). My thoughts and prayers are to (his family)."
Casablancas is survived by family members including his famous son, Julian Casablancas, lead singer of the Strokes.

Q: On a routine blood test, my serum calcium was high, and my doctor found that my parathyroid hormone level was elevated. For now, he's just watching things. What is the implication of this? – K.W., Philadelphia
A: With all the talk these days about calcium and osteoporosis, you might think that a disorder that causes an increased level of calcium in the blood would be a good thing. But our bodies like balance. There's a narrow range of calcium in the blood that's needed for your muscle cells (including heart muscle) to contract and function properly, for clotting, for proper nerve function and for certain enzymes to activate normally. Too much calcium in the blood can cause confusion, constipation, kidney stones, nausea, excess urination, dehydration, muscle weakness and bone pain.
Parathyroid hormone, or PTH, is secreted by four pea-size glands in the neck, just behind the thyroid gland. A fall in blood calcium (or a rise in blood phosphorus) triggers PTH release. PTH increases the blood calcium level by reducing the amount of calcium our kidneys would normally excrete. Bones are a rich source of calcium, and PTH pulls calcium out of bones to maintain a proper blood calcium level.
If one or more parathyroid glands becomes enlarged and overactive, too much PTH is released. The calcium level in the blood will rise at the expense of bone mineral density. That can cause or accelerate osteoporosis.
If the calcium level is very high, those side effects I've described may appear. Fortunately, our bodies are forgiving and a mildly elevated calcium level won't cause any obvious symptoms.
Mild hyperparathyroidism can be watched with periodic blood calcium checks and bone density studies. If signs or symptoms do appear, surgery to remove one or more overactive parathyroid glands is the only effective treatment. There aren't any medications you can take to treat it, but watch your intake of dietary calcium.

Did the wind cause you some problems on Sunday? People all over Michiana had to deal with power outages from the powerful gusts.
Indiana Michigan power posted as many as 600 customers without power in St. Joe County at its peak. By Monday morning, that number was down to 300.
Quite a few NIPSCO customers also had issues with outages. That includes commuters between South Bend and Chicago. The South Shore line was down for most of the morning and afternoon on Sunday, because of an outage in Porter County.
The weather also caused significant damage to one of the service's substations. Some passengers trying to get back to Northern Indiana were bussed back. One woman who left Chicagoa around 8:45 Sunday morning didn't get back to South Bend until 3:30 in the afternoon.

ABs heading to Japan?
New Zealand could play Japan later this year on their way to a European tour, according to reports, in what would be their first trip to the country in 26 years.
The All Blacks are set to take on the Brave Blossoms in Tokyo on November 2, the Sankei Sports daily reported, in the run-up to matches against France, England and Ireland later in the month.
New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew said a game in Japan was under discussion.
"New Zealand Rugby and All Blacks management have been considering the value of another Test this year as part of a much wider strategy focusing on the team's development heading towards 2015 and the World Cup," he revealed in a statement.
"As a result we have been exploring an option with the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU) for the All Blacks selected for the European tour to play Japan en route to Europe.
"There is nothing to confirm at this stage and discussions are continuing."
The JRFU in Tokyo were similarly tight-lipped, saying they had "no information" on the subject.
A game with the world-dominating All Blacks would be a huge boost to Japanese rugby, which is trying to raise its profile and quality before hosting the 2019 World Cup.
The Sankei said the November match, if realised, would be the fifth meeting between the teams and the first since the 2011 World Cup. The two teams' only game in Japan was in 1987.
Japan have lost all four previous encounters, including a 17-145 drubbing in the 1995 World Cup.

Who says a city council cannot act quickly to address an emergency? Less than one week after the United States Supreme Court ruled Chicago's 28-year old gun ban unconstitutional, the city's mayor and compliant council rushed through a new firearms ordinance designed to address what they apparently viewed as a crisis, if not a catastrophe – that crime-beleaguered citizens of the Windy City might actually decide to lawfully possess firearms for self-protection. The City's rapid response to such a situation is nothing short of blatant civil disobedience; a local government thumbing its nose at the nation's highest Court.
The lightening speed with which Daley and his cohorts, including the city's top lawyer, Mara Georges, acted to thwart the Supreme Court's June 28th opinion in McDonald v. Chicago, was swifter even than that by the District of Columbia following the high Court's 2008 Heller decision striking down the three-decades old gun ban in the nation's capitol. While not identical in the particular steps each of these two local governments took to avoid complying with the Court's rulings, the results are the same. The regulations instituted by the city councils make it virtually impossible for the citizens of their respective cities to exercise their recently-revived Second Amendment rights in any realistic or meaningful way.
Let's take the Daley anti-firearm ordinance (the "Responsible Gun Ownership Ordinance," as he labeled it). Here's just a sampling of what a Chicagoan now must do in order to take advantage of the Supreme Court's recent ruling:
Lest there be any doubt what the true intent of Daley and his colleagues was in passing this ridiculously restrictive ordinance, Hizzoner and other city aldermen made their intent crystal clear in remarks following passage. Alderman Dan Solis said the city's action was made necessary because the Supreme Court's decision simply "was not in the best interests of our citizens." Another alderman, Sharon Denise Dixon, exhibiting her obvious Supreme Court-level legal ability, denounced the court's "blatant misreading of the law." The "poor judgment" exhibited by the five members of the high Court who ruled against the City in the opinion, would now be rectified by what I am sure the city leaders consider their own "superior judgment" and their "correct reading" of the Constitution.
Beyond the particulars of the case, Daley's obstinacy sets a great example for the citizenry – if you disagree with a court ruling, don't comply; just exercise your power as a government "leader" and circumvent the decision.
The city's latest anti-firearms ordinance already has been challenged in a lawsuit. Those of us who believe in the rule of law can but hope that the judges who will ultimately decide the issue, will slap down this blatant government disobedience in the clearest and harshest terms.

I guess that Daly & Chi-town have found how to secede from the United States; something the Republic of Texas couldn't do some years ago.
As Daly & the current Administration have the same mantra: Americans don't need the 2nd Amendment – very little will be done by the Obamites.\

Chicago IS the next Somalia, with gang/warlords fighting over drug turf, shooting each other at random, choas in the street and no one with any sense daring to walk down "certain" sidewalks. So, in the end, what's the difference?

James: Automobiles are very dangerous, killing and maiming far more people in every age group than firearms. Suppose, living in Chicago, you are allowed to have a car, but only one car, and you cannot drive it except on your own property. Furthermore, no car dealerships are allowed in the city, nor any driver's education classes, but you must pass a driving test before you can buy your car. HHMMMM…. and driving a car isn't even a constitutionally protected right, like "keeping and bearing" a firearm is. Would that still seem like good legislation to you?

Go f*** yourself, Steve. This isn't something Daley is jamming down the throats of Chicago residents, there is overwhelming support for the ban within the city. Our elected leaders are just responding to the will of the populous (And before you go calling me a Daley crony or anything, I can't stand the guy). So if the Supreme Court rules that equal protection requires that gays be allowed to marry, will you support that grant of constitutional power to the federal government the way you support this one? I'm sick of the blatent, downright stupid hypocrisy of the conservative movement.

How much money is/has been wasted trying to tweak the second amendment to fit Mayor Daley's perverted wishes regarding gun control?If the mayor put that money towards the cities deficit perhaps Chicago would be a whole lot better off.
Well said. The city of Chicago would be much, much better off if the City would crack down on the gangs that seem to shoot each other to pieces on a regualr basis (but they tend to vote for Democrats) and allow the citizenry to defend themselves, as the Constitution allows.
But then, why would anybody expect a Daley-run "machine" to do anything intelligent?

Who knows if the Supreme Court even can?
The Heller and McDonald rulings are actually fairly narrow (they only concern the right to have a handgun in your home for the purposes of self-defense). The court didn't speak to a broader proposition than that… Most likely becuase a more far-reaching judgment probably wouldn't have garnered 5 votes.

Just a shout-out about teacher tumblr buddies, too: getting stuff in the mail feels great, so don't forget about your buddy! Mine has something in the mail, and will get it this week! I haven't gotten anything from my buddy yet, but I hope I do soon! I love getting cards!
is so so so amazing… I never get enough of it!! I know someone dies this season, and it's killing me to find out who but I've only finished episode 3 so don't ruin it for me!!! /end run-on sentence

… Well, kinda, his dad was a famous sports guy thing. Anyway, it doesn't really have much impact on the class, so I usually forget, but I remembered this week when he gave me a Christmas present: a Coach scarf. Like, a real one.
Now, I don't own any coach stuff, but I know enough to know that the scarf probably is worth more than all the presents my husband and I bought each other, and then some.
I think it's incredibly sweet that he got me a gift. I feel kinda weird about getting such an expensive gift from a student, regardless of how well off the family is. They will be getting a very nice thank you note when we return, for sure.
Have any of you ever dealt with extravagant student gifts, #education?
I loved all the gifts and notes!! Thank you so so much for all the words of encouragement!! You're amazing!!
Yes I did, and I'm in love with it!! Thank you so much!!
My day just became perfect.
So my Montessori school is all about celebrating different cultures and stuff, which I'm all for. So each year, they have an International Culture Day (ICD), where each class is assigned a continent, and they present a 15 minute presentation on some aspect of a culture from that region. Simple, right?
My class, 6th through 8th grade, has Europe, and my co teacher (the head teacher) had decided before I was hired even that we'd be doing skits of Greek myths. "Great," I said. "Sounds like a blast," I said.
After our return from thanksgiving, we had three weeks to get ready. "Cool," I thought. "My co teacher has been doing this for 20 years. She's got this."
Now, I love my co teacher. She is an amazing teacher, knows a ton about it and the Montessori method, and cares deeply about the kids, and it's all second nature. She's my mentor. But lately she's had a lot to deal with in her personal life, and so I've taken on a lot more than I'd originally expected. I totally got it though.
Until the Saturday after thanksgiving, when she informed me that I'll be handling ICD. "I got this."
It's next Friday, and I want to just sleep till Christmas. Managing 31 middle schoolers making props, writing scripts, gathering supplies, and still doing lessons leaves me more exhausted than any job ever. By 2:50 every day, I'm ready to scream "Never say my name again!" To everyone one of them. I love them, but they're making me crazy.
It's going to be a great presentation, but I can't wait for it all to be over.
Also, I hate you, rain.
And I need to remember that… Ugh, stress shouldn't come from your job, your friends, and the calendar all at once.
And it's raining.
I'm irrationally afraid of the dark, too… I feel ya.
i'm also still irrationally scared of the dark and everything that children under five are afraid of
Wouldn't we do a better service by encouraging our children to take advantage of learning opportunities as they arise? I think many problems we see in upper grades would be lessened if we spent time manking independent, active learners who saw each opportunity to learn something as valuable, rather than making passive learners who expect everything to be available at their will. Because we are trying to make good adults, too, right?
But learning happens when someone wants to learn, not when someone wants to teach.
Um, exactly.
Yes, definitely.

The Consequences of Corruption: Evidence from China
AbstractWith complementary Chinese data sets and alternative corruption measures, we explore the consequences of corruption. Adopting a novel approach we provide evidence that corruption can have both, positive and negative effects, on economic development. The overall impact of corruption might be the balance of the two simultaneous effects within a specific institutional environment ("grease the wheels†and "sand the wheelsâ€). Corruption is observed to considerably increase income inequality in China. We also find that corruption strongly reduces tax revenue. Looking at things from an expenditure point of view we observe that corruption significantly decreases government spending on education, R&D and public health in China. We also observe that regional corruption significantly reduces inbound foreign direct investment in Chinese regions, which indicates that the pollution haven hypothesis may not hold in China. This finding sheds a new light on the "China puzzle†that China is the largest developing host of FDI while it is appears to be very corrupt. Finally we observe that corruption substantially aggravates pollution probably through loosening environment regulation, and that it modifies the effects of trade openness and FDI on the stringency of environmental policy in a manner opposite to that observed in literature to date.

Assuming, for the moment, that Blizzard will be applying the "Mists of Pandaria" to WoW, it would be totally plausible to say that this could be the next expansion -- not a patch -- with new areas of exploration and redevelopment of old areas. With my tinfoil hat firmly attached, here I go:
There will be no new playable races. Making all the bad guys we have fought and all the good guys we have helped into new allies just goes too far at this point.
Monks as a new hero class. Who needs leather, mail, and steel when cloth, layered turtle shells, and wood make fine armor. Experts in fist weapons, thrown weapons, and two-hand spears.
Eighteen months in dvelopment -- 'nough time to reintroduce the Burning Legion back into Outland and resurrect the Old Gods in Silithis. Fun Times Ahead!

I would agree with that statment but unfortunetly Fukushima has been dumping radioactive materials into the ocean since this began, and to top it off reactor number 4 is in the state of total meltdown as I type this. Im afraid were all going to be in for a shock once the truth about what is going on there comes out!

Why do women hate shy men?
My friend says that somen see shy men as weak,unmanly, boring and unattractive worse than most men dislike morbidly obese women. I'm shy around women and refuse to change this. Why is my friend wrong?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Not all hate them, I personally Do not like them, I like a guy to be opposite of me I am not shy oruanything, but I like energetic, upbeat guys that have confidence. NOW my sister is opposite of me she is the energetic one lol she finds shy guys adorable and so cute, as long as they of course talk back not too shy. I kind of wish I liked shy guys like her b.c. I get stuck with the players half the time and she goes for the nice cute shy guys. So see, every girl is different
What Girls Said 6
First, that's not true at all.Maybe some women don't like shy men but they certainly can't hate them.Second, there are plenty of women who love shy men. Even prefer them over the others, like myself. I'm personally attracted to them because I think their shyness is adorable. They may not be the easiest to talk to but that presents a bit of a challenge and some women like that. :] But you can only push us so far. It really gets annoying and irrational to even continue liking the guy if you've known him for a few months and barely know anything about him.So, yea, I'm sure there is nothing wring with shy guys. Aslong as you're willing to open your shell and let someone in. :]Hope I helped somehow. :]Good luck! :D
Your friend is dead wrong. There are those of us out there who find shy men the most attractive type out there--they are just hard to get to know or god forbid get them to ask you out.
is this friend you speak of a woman or a man? because most women I know find shy guys to be cute.mind you, they'll still expect you to make the first move, but they generally find stuttering and nervousness to be endearing (though not to the point where a guy starts getting pit stains in his shirt just from conversing with a chick)
I don't hate shy men, but they're definitely not my ideal. I've found that all of the guys I've been attracted to have been confident and positive. I guess I would rather have the ray of sunshine than the wallflower. Not all women are this way, but my family is full of confident men so that's what I'm used to and what I like. I attribute confidence to manliness and find it really attractive.
Not all women hate shy men. In fact, if we see a shy guy(especially if he's cute), we would love to know more about him, but it's hard to talk & approach anyone who's shy. I would disagree with your friend. There are probably more guys turned off by an obese woman than women being turned off by a shy guy.
what about guys there so quiet day literally never approach women?
most women wouldn't hate them.
Hate is a strong word. If they never approach or talk then of course sooner or later we are going to give up any hope and move on. Can't wait forever just because they are shy.
i prefer guys who are confident and outgoing. shy guys just blend into the background
What Guys Said 2
Wait I'm not sure about the question(s) you're trying to ask. Are you asking if your friend is wrong? ORAre you asking why women hate shy men?
I'm mocking his supposition. I'm pretty sure my friend is wrong
The only reason why you don't understand this is because you have not seen a genuinely shy girl yet.

I'm the one in the easy leather armor and the hastily thrown together male orc suit. Didn't have a lot of time for that one, so I never got around to putting blackout mesh over the eye holes, and those camera flashes really bring it out.
I saw the article last week with the Tauren and first thing I did was turn around and go "We gotta show 'em Poly." Looks like she sent in more than just pictures of the tauren though. =P
Going to take my time on building the female orc rogue though. Going to use Shadowblade armor (the old ICC raid gear), and already got plans on sticking a camelback under the fake boobs so that I can have some water while running around in a bunch of foam rubber and leather.
Going to be a BLAST. Come to Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA, you'll see us. Come say hello!

If you are a part of the twitter universe, it is a great way to get information on sports up to the minute. That is why Jason LaCanfora will be doing his job and tweeting out the selections as soon as he hears them.
"We're not a broadcast partner for the draft," LaCanfora said. via Sherman Report. "I will be trying to get the information out as quickly and accurately as possible. What event is made more for Twitter than the NFL draft? If the teams have the information; if the guys in the production truck have the information; if the commissioner has the information; why wouldn't passionate football fans want it as well?"
Some feel that it ruins the draft experience knowing who is getting selected before it is announced on the television. If that is how you feel about it, then don't follow him or don't jump on your twitter while you are watching the draft. It is pretty simple.
A ton of peeps are unfollowing him right now to try and prove a point. I am sure you will probably follow him right back after the draft. That is what he is supposed to do.

Trying my best at this, would love tips on the tribelabelling. And I think I'll redo the mountains.
I love the fonts you've used...especially the tribe names. And your trees look great!
I like the fonts as well, I'm thinking some sort of tribal/tattoo animals might go well with with the text
What a great start! I think your mountains look fine, personally. The Bonehills aren't huge mountains anyway, so you shouldn't need to make them too high or anything.
I wonder if there is a way you could work out the Blood Plains onto the eastern side of the map? Since most of the spillage from the Savage War would come from that direction, that would be a perfect name for the battlefield... And think of the ghost stories!
Anyway you've done a great job. I can't wait to see more!
Those tress look amazing! How did you do them?
Yeah, I agree with SG. Some sort of animal totem icon for each of the clans would be great. BTW, please do share the name/source of your fonts. I gotta get me that tribal font.
The fonts are taken from www.fantasyfonts.com. The font used for locations are called Rosemary Roman, the tribal font is called Neverwinter :)
And thanks for the response everyone! I'll start working on my icons right away.
EDIT: The trees were made by a scattering round brush and layer effects. I made a pattern of it and just used a layer mask to scatter it around the map.
Any updates on this? I've been looking forward to it. :)
Hey, first time I have seen this thread, nice going so far, I like the feel you have here.
Thought I'd let you know that I will be putting this map to use soon, as the PCs will be on their way to Hallowdale in the very near future. Thanks again for doing it!

The direction was weak and the choreography was overly simple and unnecessary. Ambivalence, detachment and alienation are hard themes to make interesting and they separated the singers from the material and the audience from the production. Bernadette Peters fared the best because she is a visceral performer and is a masterful story teller. The show would have played better with a simpler presentation. The Sondheim/Marsalis marriage was enough to hold it all together. I would have preferred more of a lively celebration where the capable performers had created emotionally grounded stories and threaded them together without mundane props and uninteresting stage business.

Don't listen to crusty ol' Ben... This was one of the most moving experiences I have ever had at the theater...Peters brought me to tears when she sang I Remember and her acting performance in Ladies Who Lunch was something to behold... It's an opera, a dance performance and concert and if you love Sondheim don't miss this. so exciting to be introduced to the jazz singer Cyrille Amiee - a truly unique voice and makes those classic Sondheim songs sound new and fresh. The dancers beautiful to watch... this evening truly took my breath away. I've already commanded my NYC friends not to miss this! HA!

I guess if you set your bar really low - like marching in circles, actually squares, without ever relating to the material (Company), or being forced to play your own instruments while trying to act without ever looking at another actor and avoiding any actual story-telling (Sweeney Todd). If that's your idea of inspired interpretations of Sondheim, so be it. Personally I prefer versions of Sondheim shows where they actually delve in to the material and tell the story.. silly me.
As for this production, as a musical revue it's fine, carried by stellar performers not great direction...

I saw the dress rehearsal for free and then purchased a very expensive ticket to see this glorious show again. Despite being somewhat uneven, the highs in this one are better than almost anything I can imagine, especially Peters singing "Broadway Baby" and "Here's to the Ladies Who Lunch". Also loved Jordan's take on "100 extra people just got off of the train" and "Agony". I am a Sondheim addict and this really fed my addiction beautifully. Thank you, all!

Bernadette Peters was in top form last at City Center. She started and ended the show with "Broadway Baby." Jeremy Jordan soared. Norm Lewis has a voice like butter. (Sorry Babs). Jazz singer Cyrille Aimee was perfect. Each singer gets a shadow dancer who were all terrific. Meg Gillentine stole my attention with every nuanced move and look. The choreography by Parker Esse added so much. I just wish the dancers had more room to strut their stuff. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis is upstage center. They sounded amazing and I loved the use of visual projections of NYC skylines and street scenes. I thought that complemented the mood of the Sondheim pieces as well as the jazz inflected orchestrations.
This is really an extremely well done revue of different Sondheim songs. John Doyle directs with such ease to make many complicated pieces flow effortlessly. The transitions between songs become an interesting character in the piece as we all soon learned that we could not applaud after each song or we would miss the critical start to the next masterpiece. That took some getting used to but that's part of it's brilliance. A brisk 90 minutes with no intermission.
Some highlights for me: "I Remember", "Losing My Mind", "You Could Drive a Person Crazy", "The Ladies Who Lunch/ Agony","Loving You" and "I Wish I Could Forget You".
A wonderful show!
PS Finger slipped when ascribing the star rating and it wouldn't let me edit.
This is 5 stars not two.

text: I just purchased this scope for my Bushmaster AR .308. Can someone explain in detail how to utilize the turrets. I understand how to sight it in utilizing windage and elevation, but I don't understand the turret on top of the scope, or the "zeroing" feature, or how to use it. I was amazed that there weren't instructions that came with the scope, and even more amazed that nobody in customer service at Nikon knew anything about it. Anyway, I have the scope and it bs mounted. Now if I only knew how to properly use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
