About PAN Card
Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a ten-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department. A PAN is required for those wanting to file a return of income. Also, PAN has to be mentioned for making a deposit exceeding Rs. 50,000 with a Bank or Post Office. Possessing more than one PAN is against the law. Generally it takes 15 days to process an application. PAN/TAN applications are handled by Tax Information Network (TIN). TIN accepts electronic and physical TDS/TCS Returns, PAN applications, TAN applications, Quarterly Statement Status and more. PAN card verification is also done by UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Ltd. To apply a PAN card through UTI visit a branch office which you can locate here.

Dear Sir/Madam ,

Do you really need battle.net to do this? There are tons of chat clients already dedicated to being chat clients. No need to reinvent the wheel. Sure, it is nice to have something that is integrated into the game. But, I already chat with my 'real' friends outside of wow. Why would you want to pay extra for a service that is already available to you?

It should be an interesting next few weeks for the Tech baseball team, which just won its 10th straight.
The Jackets whipped Kennesaw State 11-0 Tuesday as Zach Von Tersch, Jed Bradley and Brandon Cumpton combined on a 2-hitter. Bradley retired the first 13 batters he faced. He struck out seven over five innings.
Matt Skole had three hits, and Jeff Rowland went 1-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored.
The teams meet again at 6 p.m. today at Russ Chandler Stadium, and we'll be there to cover it. Look for more baseball coverage as the season progresses.
In the latest poll by Collegiate Baseball, the Jackets are No. 3 nationally. It's the highest Tech has been ranked in three years. Tech held the top spot in 2006, which also was the last time the Jackets made the College World Series.
The Jackets are 13-1, and they're averaging 12 runs over their last six games. Sweet-swinging Tony Plagman (.357, 5 HR, 19 RBIs, .732 slugging) is one of seven regulars hitting at least .300.
But the schedule is about to get a lot more difficult. Take a look at these upcoming games:
March 25 vs. Georgia (ranked No. 4)
March 27-29 at Miami (ranked No. 9)
April 3-5 vs. North Carolina (ranked No. 1)
April 10-12 vs. Virginia (ranked No. 7)
April 14 at Georgia
Tech made the CWS in 1994, 2002 and 2006. What do you think are the chances for another trip this year?

Nothing matters except beating the the redneck hounds on March 25th. The Tickle Pile after we beat their asses in Basketball and Football was wonderful and I would expect nothing less.THWG!!!

Its that time of year. Looks like its about time for Tech baseball to choke like it always does.

I cannot carry on this charade any longer. As many of you probably suspected, I am not really a Georgia Tech fan. I am a g@y UGA fan. I know that Tech does not have Tickle Piles, and I only post that they do so I can impress my g@y UGA (and there are a lot more of us than you might think). I apologize for my immature behavior and hope that you can forgive me. Sincerely, Yellowblood.

10:30 am
I don't understand the lack of confidence here….sure we dropped one to GA. Southern and almost let BC get the best of us, be we've completely ripped every other team we played. UGAy's only two losses are to unranked Bama, and they got beat pretty well both times (as opposed to our one loss against an unranked by only two points). UNC is what I would be worried about.
March 18th, 2009

EEJacket –
I agreed with a lot of what you said, but you lost all credibility by saying "points."

Hey Fellas, The Ga Tech Alumni group Atlanta chapter is meeting at Woofs Sports Bar for the Tech-UGA BBAll game on March 25th. Please be there an hour before first pitch.
March 18th, 2009
12:23 pm
Sorry, Keith. I'd love to come, but I'll be at the UGA tailgate at Swinging Richard's. You're all more than welcome!!!!
March 18th, 2009
12:25 pm
Thanks Keith I'll be there. BTW if anyone fell for that they deserve to be there
March 18th, 2009
1:20 pm
I'm confused – no surprise! LOL! – where do we go to watch the game?
March 18th, 2009
1:25 pm
Go watch the game at the Rusty C. It's the cheapest event in town. #3 Tech vs. #4 UGA, that's place is going to be packed next Wednesday if the weather is nice.
March 18th, 2009

Larry, Do you not have a Style Manual over there?
It's Joltin' Jackets
The corollary is Diamond Dawgs[sic]
Or are you just mailing it in until the AJC goes the way of the Rocky Mountain News??
March 18th, 2009

Are you nerds really looking forward to playing us? How many choke jobs will it take before you stop voluntarily taking beatdowns?
March 18th, 2009
3:50 pm
#3 in the nation? Pfft, who is number ONE in the nation? That's right, your one and only true college in this state. THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS…. btw, it is a great atmosphere GT vs UGA baseball games….both teams are very good this year.
March 18th, 2009
4:35 pm
UNC is ranked first, nitwit.
March 18th, 2009
5:23 pm
Just thought you should know "whoisrankedFIRST", UGA is not ranked number ONE. They were slapped around by Alabama in two of three games last weekend and UGA is now ranked number 4 (just behind Tech).
March 18th, 2009
7:24 pm
UGAG is ranked 4th (BEHIND Tech) in the latest polls. And in spite of what happened in the regionals last year, Tech BEAT UGAG 2 out 3 times in the regular season. We will probably choke again, but it never happens until tournament time.
March 18th, 2009
8:04 pm
here we go again your premotoric tech crap.dawgs sweep!you morons will go back in your closets where you belong.DAWGS SWEEP!
March 18th, 2009
8:12 pm
Tech team has deep pitching which they have lacked in last 2 seasons. Beating UGA a HUGE bonus, but ACC will be best measuring stick especially UNC & Miami. Should be a fun season.

they get beat in the super regonal when they play georgia bulldogs like they do when they play them in the super regonal liked always

When I saw the blog title "3rd in the Nation" I thought maybe all those Asian students had made Tech 3rd in the nation in Ping Pong… Even the first entry in the blog says "Ping!".
March 18th, 2009
10:00 pm
They have looked pretty solid all year including our 11-3 win tonight. I am very excited for the game on wed, but I am not sure why an alumni group in atlanta would go to a bar to watch the game… Russ Chandler is a great place to watch baseball, and it would be nice if it were full of gold, and not just for the uga game. We have had some ok crowds for some of the weekend series, but it would be nice to get more people out there. Stop talking about choking in the first month of the season when we have only lost one game… support your team and show some more class. With that in mind, THWG!!!!
March 18th, 2009
10:13 pm
As of Wednesday am……RPI's…..
March 19th, 2009
2:13 am
Gonna go to more games this year. Didn't go to any last year and I regret it. I'll be in Atlanta for the summer so I'll be going to a lot of games at Russ Chandler Stadium.
March 19th, 2009
9:45 am
UGA is always overrated, so I'm happy to see another Georgia team taking charge! I've never been a fan of either school, but I've been to UGA and Tech games, and the fans at the Tech games are much more respectful. Plus, as an ACC girl, I love how well the ACC is doing.
Good luck Jackets, keep on keepin' on
March 19th, 2009
9:53 am
Here is a GT vs. UGAg "choke" quiz for you:
1) Which football team "choked" in Athens last November?
2) Which women's basketball team "choked" in December?
3) Which men's basketball team "choked" in January?
Since you are a UGA fan, I will give you the answer – UGA.
March 19th, 2009
10:26 am
Hey Bob in Buford,
You must be a liberal. Answer the question about the baseball team by diverting to other sports. PRICELESS.
Enjoyed those regionals last year in Athens. How 'bout U???????????????
March 19th, 2009
3:13 pm
Yes I am a liberal – have you gotten over the embarrassment of McCain/Palin yet?
I am just doing what all the Dawg posters do – no matter what the sport, they always turn the subject to football.

My first and only submission!http://audiojungle.net/item/baby-giants/9016140
hm, yes, makes sense.
i am totally crazy seeking. cannot find any info. i suppose it is from india ,since Trilok Gurtu mainly uses indian percussion.Mainly but not exclusively.
i am keeping this thread alive for a while, in case somebody answers.
kingcoda said
It starts with tr—- something. I will return with a correct name for it. My pal in music industry might know. A similar effect is produced by jaw harps too… I doubt if it still sells…
wow thanks! finally someone responded! it sounds like a jaw harp, but it is extremely playable, and i want to buy it. i buy different instruments from around the world and this is the one i want to have !
thank you once again!!
Thread got lost… Just a reminder for Indian authors to help me define instrument that Trilok Gurtu plays in the beginning of video stated above
What is this rounded wire instrument Trilok plays at the beginning??https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VQWKbUC57_8#t=39
I would buy only one thing. Probably converters!

Best Games Of The Year 2011 - Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii & iPhone/iPad
Nick Jones
What were your GOTYs for 2011? Here are ours: Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Portal 2, to name but three.
Published on Dec 21, 2011
Was 2011 a classic year for gaming? Yes, of course it was! But what were the best games of the year? Here, we take a look at the best games of 2011 and reveal which brilliant game is the NowGamer Game Of 2011.
Listen to the latest NowGamer podcast to hear the team talk about their games of the year.
LittleBigPlanet 2, Sony – PS3
We never even considered that a sequel to LittleBigPlanet would be necessary, let alone be as accomplished and as big an upgrade as LittleBigPlanet 2 would be.
A whole new toolset has enabled LBP's unique community to open up a new world of gaming possibilities. Genres such as RPGs, first-person shooters, sheep-shearing…
LittleBigPlanet, and this sequel, proves that gamers, or at least some gamers, are a really creative bunch. More so, in many cases, than many of the developers who make a living out of this thing we call 'games'.
They're prolific too. There are over 5 million LBP levels out there, right now. What other game can boast a community like that?
Total War: Shogun 2, Sega – PC
Such is the detail in Creative Assembly's latest Total War engine you'd be forgiven for thinking that it's some kind of high end third-person action adventure.
Pull that camera back and the truth is revealed: Shogun 2 is yet another high quality real-time strategy game from one of the UK's best development studios.
With bigger (read: more tactical) maps, finely balanced units and combat and an atmosphere that's dripping with feudal Japan, Shogun 2 is probably the best PC strategy game since… well, since Creative Assembly's last great strategy game.
The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Nintendo – Wii
Finally! A game on Wii that uses the Wii MotionPlus controller as it was meant to be – as an intrinsic part of the gameplay.
Apart from that, Skyward Sword is a wonderful reminder of how great Nintendo can still be as a core-game developer; Skyward Sword shows just how much untapped potential the Wii and its control system still has.
Skyward Sword is Zelda in a classic guise, but, strangely, this is probably the only Zelda game to have been released with such a small fanfare. It's no doubt a sign that the Wii's on its way out, but what a wonderful swansong.
Forza 4, Microsoft – Xbox 360
The return of Turn 10's simulation racer was a welcome one for 360 racing fans and is the best in an already excellent series.
The attention to detail in Forza 4 is astonishing – Turn10 even hired Pixar to help with the lighting – but the real win here is with the way the cars handle.
The car AI's not bad either, as is the track design, attention to detail and overall structure of the game too. And the new amazingly-detailed Autovista mode is car porn at its most-erotic (they should've called it 'Autoeroticar') but Forza 4 never loses sight of what makes it a great racing game: the quality of the racing. Only Gran Turismo 5 can hold a torch to it.
Rage, Bethesda – PC, Xbox 360, PS3
If this was a list about the best graphics of the year, then Rage would be right up there with the cream of them. Rage marked the debut for id Software's id Tech 5 engine and, as a showcase for the ultimate high-fidelity console graphics, it sure lived up to expectations. On Xbox 360, at least.
Rage was also a top-notch shooter as well and a real homage to some of id's classic shooters of yesteryear. It managed to do some things in a modern way as well, mixing a (fairly) open-world driving hub with some well-designed shooting levels, nothing revolutionary but, still, had quality oozing from every pixel.
Battlefield 3, EA – PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Sorry COD fans, there's no Modern Warfare on this list. No, please don't moan. While Modern Warfare 3 is good, and will no doubt be still being played by thousands of you this time next year, it didn't quite make the list.
Why? Well, this is why. Battlefield 3's multiplayer isn't necessarily better than MW3's (the NowGamer team is split on this point) but it does definitely offer a viable alternative and is serious competitor to the establishment.
It's also worth noting that the PC version of Battlefield 3 represents a new standard in realistic visuals. Not essential, we know, but seeing Battlefield 3 running at full spec is something to behold.
L.A. Noire, Rockstar/Take 2 – PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Noire by name noire by nature. We don't even know what that means, but L.A. Noire was a brilliant James Elway-inspired period piece by the people behind Red Dead Redemption.
Well, not really. It was a developer called Team Bondi that was responsible for bringing the world of 1940s detective noir to our game screens, along with some ground-breaking facial expression tech that was vital to L.A. Noire's core gamplay mechanic: working out if people were lying.
True, L.A. Noire has its faults but for doing something very different, in a very different setting, we applaud it. Cue applause.
Dark Souls, Namco Bandai – PS3, Xbox 360
'Hard' doesn't really do Dark Souls justice. Diamond-hard would be more like it but adamantium-hard' would be the most accurate description of Dark Souls' difficulty level.
Dark Souls is an RPG where hours of play and progression could be wiped out in an instant, causing some NowGamer staff to ask, 'why bother?'
Well, simply, because overcoming a challenge this great is a unique gaming experience and all the more satisfying. Also, we enjoy pain.
Gears Of War 3, Microsoft – Xbox 360
Well, it doesn't get any more macho than this: Marcus Fenix and chainsaw-gun wielding buddies shooting the living hell out of space-aliens and high-fiving each other all the way to the end of humanity.
Okay, they're not space-aliens, but you get the point.
Epic's final chapter in the Gears Of War 'trilogy' is ballsy, blunt, brutal, and, as the best use of the Unreal Engine 3 so far, beautiful. In a kind of destroyed beauty kind of way.
But the real hero of the piece isn't Fenix or Dom or even Carmine, it's the guy who builds all those concrete walls. And it's about time he got some credit and his own game.
Xenoblade Chronicles, Nintendo – Wii
While most of the games released on Wii this year were all about some Latin American dance craze, it was refreshing to see this old-school RPG making a name for itself.
Okay, it may follow the usual JRPG template: kid with a big sword, world in danger, scary bad guy trying to kill everyone, only you and your team can save the day, girl dies, you cry… But what's good about Xenoblade Chronicles is that it also takes ideas from MMOs and throws them into the mix and makes the JRPG fresh again. Well, as fresh as that can.
It might just be the best JRPG of this generation (it is).
DiRT 3, Codemasters – PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Come on the UK! The only other driving/racing game to make our list of 2011's best comes from the Lemmington Spa-based developers Codemasters.
But DiRT 3 doesn't exactly look British. If you get what we mean. It's a flashy, gorgeous-looking, foot-to-the-floor, insanely intense racing game of the highest standard.
On-the-edge handling and convincing human-like AI makes DiRT 3 the most exhilarating racing experience to be had this year.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Sony – PS3
"It's like a movie!" Well, maybe, a more accurate description of Uncharted 3 would be that you get to play the role of the greatest action hero in movies ever: Sully. No, wait, Nathan Drake.
Awe-inspiring movie-like set pieces abound in Uncharted 3 but it's the gunplay that's the real star: fluid, challenging and tactical, Uncharted 3's combat is the antithesis of Gears Of War 3.
Variety is also one of Uncharted 3's strong points – there's a terrific mix of gameplay styles and level design that Segway brilliantly into the game's story.
In terms of thrill-a-minute gameplay, Uncharted 3 is about as good as it gets, people.
Dead Space 2, EA – PS3, Xbox 360, PC
If you're looking for the most atmospheric game of the year, then switch off your torch and look no further.
Dead Space 2 is a lesson in inspiring real fear, in making the player feel like he's in a world of pain, like he could, at any moment, be ripped limb from limb by some freakish space monster. Dead Space 2 is oppressive, relentless, terrifying and oh so enjoyable.
If gaming were a fairground then Dead Space 2 would be its ghost train.
That is, until the shooting starts. Eventually you're given kick-ass weapons and a ton of ammo and Dead Space 2 goes from ghost train to shooting gallery and all the scary fun goes out of it.
Still, for those first few terrifying hours, Dead Space 2 has no horror equal.
Batman: Arkham City, Warner Bros – PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Creating an open-world game on the scale of Arkham City in just two years was an amazing achievement. To create one of the densest and inspiring open-worlds of this generation and retain the combat, puzzles, atmosphere, attention to detail and pure Batman-love of Arkham Asylum is just astonishing.
Batman: Arkham City is a bit like Assassin's Creed in a Batman universe but with a whole extra game included too, with a plethora of villains, a head-spinning story and some of the best visuals this year.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Bethesda – PC, Xbox 360, PS3
Skyrim is probably the game to have clocked up play most hours in the NowGamer office… so why isn't it our number one game of the year?
Well, it doesn't quite live up to its lofty ambitions.
The Skyrim civil war doesn't really amount to much, there's too much repetition in the dungeons and mission objectives and the quality of the quests and story arcs are often dwarfed by the technological landscape of Skyrim itself.
Still, let's not distract from what is an incredible achievement in terms of technology and game design and just in terms of creating a game world that it's just great to 'exist' in.
If you let Skyrim into your life, don't expect to get it back anytime soon.
NowGamer Game Of The Year 2011
Portal 2, Valve – PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac
Remember February? Well, we certainly do. It was the month that NowGamer's Game Of The Year was released.
Portal 2 is brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
The first Portal is gaming striped down to its sexy pants; level upon level of obviously ingenious and puzzling level design, each testing chamber a delightful lesson in what makes games so good.
Upon these foundations, Portal 2 constructs an utterly convincing yet completely insane world with a first-person story that is as much a delight to be told as solving the game's most ingenious puzzles are. And those puzzles become are even more ingenious with the addition of multiple new elements, which fuse brilliantly with the story and… oh it's so good.
But even more, Portal 2 adds a delicious layer of co-operative puzzle solving gaming as well.
More please.
2011: honourable mentions
The games that didn't quite make the list – for one reason or another – but are worth talking about anyway.
Crysis Console, EA – PS3, Xbox 360
The port that Crytek said couldn't be done was finally 'done' this summer and showed console owners what they'd been missing for five years. And that is a brilliantly tactical and open-world first-person shooter with some very pretty graphics.
Crytek even had the nerve to suggest that the console version was the best looking version. It isn't but it's still great to look at.
Ico & Shadow Of The Colossus HD, Sony – PS3
Another HD remake but this time for good reason: the chance to play two of the PS2's best, yet least played, games in lovely HD and, with the appropriate setup, 3D.
The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D, Nintendo – 3DS
Oh, and yet another HD remake, this time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of gaming's great icons. Nintendo went to the trouble of giving this classic RPG a glowing makeover, updating the graphics and control system for 3DS. It was all presented in Nintendo-3D-o-vision too and promoted by Robin Williams and his actually-quite-hot-in-a-nerdy-way daughter Zelda.
Which was lovely.
Machinarium, Amanita Design – iOS, Mac
A classic PC point-and-click adventure with great puzzles, story and storybook visuals came to Mac and iPad 2 this year. If you've got a PS3, then you can look forward to it appearing on the PSN soon. We recommend you pick it up; Machinarium is great.
Rayman Origins, Ubisoft – PS3, Xbox 360
Another anniversary to celebrate but this time with a nod to the great 2D platformers of the past with some stunning high-definition cartoon graphics.
Jelly Defense, Infinite Dreams – iOS, Android, Mac
Tower defence games are ten-a-penny on PC and iOS and Android but what's great about Jelly Defense adds a whole new level into the genre with towers that can only attack certain colours of enemies.
Also, it looks really cute.
Draw Race 2, RedLynx – iOS
Most racing games on iPad try to emulate the best of the genre on PC or consoles, ie 3D racing, placing the player in or just outside the car.
Draw Race 2 is completely fresh take on the genre though, showing the track and cars from above (okay, not completely new) and then requiring the player to draw a racing line for the car to follow during the race.
Once the race starts, the car follows the predetermined line as best it can, the player controls the speed and the brakes.
Simple, effective and a totally original take on what's a pretty stale genre.

our lady of sorrows3 Reviews
It might sound like the final chapter. But honestly... it is not!!
hope you likey... and please keep reviewing.
' You better have a REALLY good excuse for all of this Antonia!.'
Brain was furious. Toni just stood, staring at him through glazed eyes. She wasn't happy that he had called her by her full name. And to be completely honest, she was slightly scared of his raised voice. It was starting to remind her of her father's voice. But she wasn't going to show to anyone that she was afraid. She never had and she never will.
Once Toni had tackled the asshole at the movies to the ground someone had called the police and they were both restrained, but not before she near enough broke his nose and gave him a head ache to remember. She had come away from the fight with a slightly bloody looking black eye and a graze just above her right eyebrow. Oh and a few bloody knuckles. But no one wanted to press any charges so they were both just police escorted home. She had said her final goodbye to Joey before being guided into the police car.
' I do.' Was all that Toni replied.
'And another thing, I want you to stop with this attitude. I mean what were you thinking!?. You just attacked another kid for no reason!. You must have some serious problems if that's how you get your kicks!.' He hadn't meant to say that last part out loud. Now he was totally regretting it.
Toni looked at him with clear hurt in her eyes. She knew that all of this was too good to be true. Now there was one more person that thought she was crazy, a freak, weird and all of the above. He would surely be handing her over to the state soon she thought.
'Look I didn't mean that. I ..'
'YOU DON'T GET IT!. DO YOU?. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME... OR MY PROBLEMS. SO JUST BUTT OUT!!!! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!!.' Toni had surprised herself and her uncle with her sudden outburst of emotional anger.
'My head is just kinda buzzing just now. I don't know what to do about this.'
Brian sounded completely defeated. He was still standing in front of Toni scratching the back of his head when the bus door opened and the guys walked in. They had left to give Brian and Toni some time to talk when the police showed up with her in cuffs.
'Oh hey. Do you want us to leave again?' Bob questioned the troubled manager.
'No, it's fine I'm going for a walk to clear my head. Toni you stay here and get yourself cleaned up and get to bed... or something.'
Before Toni had any time to respond to her uncle's command, he was already half way out the door and into the cold night air. All of the guys were now in the bus staring at her. She turned with threatening tears in her eyes and headed towards the small bathroom. Once she had locked herself in she ran the water from the tap and looked at her bloodied reflection in the small rectangular mirror above the sink. She didn't know the person staring back at her, she hadn't known who that person was for years.
She splashed her stinging face with the icy cold water. It felt refreshing, but at the same time it was slightly painful. She didn't care all that much though. She watched as the bloody red water rand away down the drain. After she had dried her face she sat down on top of the closed toilet lid. Salty tears began to slide effortlessly and silently down her pale cheeks. She wasn't even very sure why she was crying at all. There was just so much emotion inside of her at that moment. She didn't know whether to laugh, cry or hate herself.
There was a soft knock at the door. She wasn't sure just how long she had been in there, just thinking really. She got up from her seating position on top of the toilet and slowly unlocked the small, fragile plastic door and took her first step forwards to be met with the eyes of Mikey.
'Hey, are you okay?' He asked the teen noticing her teary eyes.
'Erm... not really.' She answered truthfully.
'Why don't you come and talk about it?'
'You guys don't need to listen to me rant...'
' yes we do.' Mikey interrupted her with kindness and good intention in his voice.
'Is Brian back yet?' Toni wasn't so sure what she had wanted the answer to be.
'Ok then.'
Mikey smiled at her once more and guided her back through to the seating area by her shoulders. They were all sitting as if waiting for her. She sat down, but not next to any of them, she wanted some space, and that was limited as it was on the claustrophobia causing coach.
'So why were you police escorted back here tonight?... but you don't have to talk about that if you don't want to.' Ray said rather fast.
Toni took some time out to have a small chuckle at him before saying.
'No, it's okay, if I'm gonna be living with you guys in here you have a right to know stuff about me.' They all nodded in agreement.
'Well. I was out with my friend as you know, and we were on our way to a diner a few blocks away from the movies, when these assholes that go to our school started shouting insults at us. Nothing we're not used to but they just wouldn't drop it. Then one of the guys shouted something that just... really hit home with me... a...and I totally flipped. I tackled the guy and probably broke his nose. Someone called the cops on us.'
'Wow... go team Toni!.' Frank was rather amused that she had managed to beat the shit out of a guy.
' Well... I totally screwed up with my uncle though.'
'Nah... he'll get over it. He starts fights all the time.' Gerard laughed and the others echoed the same kind of laughter.
'I don't mean the fight with the other guy... I mean the fight with him. He was getting angry and he said some stuff that he didn't mean and I lost my head at him. Now there's no way he will want me to stay around.' There were tears in her bloodshot eyes once again.
'Hey.. He's not like that. And you're a really great kid. Anyone would be completely stupid not to want you around.' Mikey was trying to cheer her up but was surprised when she looked up in disbelief at his comment.
' Really?' Toni had never heard someone talk about her like that before. And she wasn't sure whether or not to believe him.
The silence of the group was broken my the doors opposite the drivers compartment swung open. Brian came in looking a bit more refreshed than he had when he left a few hours ago. The group was still silent.
'Hey kiddo, can we talk?' Brain said to Toni in a softer tone than the one he had used previously that night.
' Y... yeah.' Brian made his way to the back of the bus, passing Toni and the others. She got up and followed her uncle to the bunk area, where Brian sat in her bunk and beckoned her over to sit beside her. She made herself as comfy as she possibly could on the thin mattress next to her uncle.
' Look, I'm sorry for some of the things I said earlier. I didn't mean them. I'm sure you had your reasons for what happened. And I am in no position to tell you tell you what to do... well, not yet anyway.' He said the last part with a grin playing across his lips.
She caved and let a small smile fill her face.
'I'm sorry for what I said to you, I didn't really mean it.... Do you still want me around... after everything that I've done?.'
Brian's eyebrows raised in utter shock.
'What..... of course I still want you around, what would make you think I wouldn't?.'
'Well it's just that...'
'Look, I might not know you that well. But I want to get to know you. And if that means we go through ups and downs like this then.... That's just what we'll have to do. Isn't it?'
Toni smiled with watery eyes. Brian enveloped his niece in a loving embrace and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
She drifted off into a peaceful sleep knowing that she was with people who accepted her and actually wanted her there.
WARNING... this is most definitely not the end of this story!!!!
Check for updates very soon!! And thank you so much to everyone who has been reviewing.

Are you saying that more muscle doesn't = more strength?Originally posted by MarshallPenn

Exactly - you can lose strength yet still hypertrophy.
I could care less is you dont believe me dude. and i use to weigh 230 lbs when i was a major fat ass, the stretch marks have gone way down since then. everyone thinks everything i say is BS, then they think my gains are BS. i understand, its natural to boycott things you dont understand, but maybe for once you should trust someone. And i would throw in a pic, but i dont want to throw in the cash for a digital camera
put it this way, you arent going to look like yates bench pressing 250 lbs, its not possible
You don't need a digital camera to put a pic up. But what is your bodyweight now, and what was it in February?
I would say a gain of 40lbs of LM is more than many can put on in a lifetime of natural bodybuilding.
and its not 40 lbs of lean mass, when the hell did i add lean mass afterwards, a ton of that is water, another ton in glycogen and other things, and alot of it fat too. but my body has filled out a ton more, and my muscles are excellingly bigger than before
Last edited by Jane; 05-11-2002 at 12:43 PM.
my bodyweight now right after waking up is 198, in the beginning of february is was between 155-160
i use to have about 2% bf too, as i mentioned earlier i look like someone out of schindlers list, with big muscles
haha 2% this just keeps getting better.
I believe that you could put on that much weight in that time, but not while only increasing your bodyfat 3%. Also dont tell people they dont understand, when clearly you are wrong. Believing you are right doesnt make it so.
Diet is key, the calorie is king
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
--Abraham Lincoln
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

"If you want to look abnormal you have to eat abnormal,lol."--ST
Ok - I don't know about the 2% BF, especially since you were 230lbs, doesn't sound like you're the most naturally lean person. Out of curiousity what is your height and waist size now?
If you really were 2% BF, you're still looking at a gain of 30+lbs of lean mass, unless you are holding ridiculous amounts more water than at 155. Also, 4500 cals or whatever you said you were eating would not result in a 5lbs/week gain, unless your AMR is about 1400 cals a day -- which I doubt.
at most 2%. AS I SAID BEFORE, i looked like something out of schindlers list, how much bf do you think they had, im not exaggerating by saying this. beleive whatever you want smalls, i increased my entire mass by 40 lbs, that doesnt mean lean mass, that doesnt mean fat, that doesnt mean water. that means a good deal of all the above. since my bf was so incredibly low before, a good deal of fat did not raise my bf up abnormally high. as i stated in a thread a long time ago i had alot of vascularity all over my abs, now do you think you could have more than 2% bf and have veins all over your stomach?
Yes, you can have above 2% and stil have veins in your abs. Do you realize 2% bodyfat would land you in the hospital very quickly. I dont really think your straight up lying, you just dont understand what your saying and dong know your true stats. Also I was eating 4800 cals a day and gaining about a pound a week, so unless you require 1/5 the calories that I do, yet still put on lots of muscle with those excess calories, then something isnt right. Think before you speak.

i had a ton of health problems while i was eating so little. maybe smalls, just maybe, me being a teenager, who does alot of cardio, being 6'5 and abnormally bigger than the average person, might just change my caloric needs and muscle gaining ability. or maybe the fact that i train quite a bit differently then other people. or maybe the fact that i eat differently than alot of people...maybe somewere in there, makes my body a little different than yours, and most everybody elses
ok - 6'5" -- now what is your waist size? Also, what are your lifts now and stats, and what were your lifts and stats when you started?
I'm with smalls, I just think that you've gained much more than 10lbs of fat and don't realize it. I'm not calling you a liar about the weight itself.
also - you claimed you were anorexic with big muscles before. at 155-160lbs and 6'5" in height, if you think that you had "big muscles", your perception of something sounds a little off.
theres alot of fat inside your body as well as out, i could have easily had little-no fat inside of me either, and i did have a bunch of health problems. my waist size is 36. my lifts are
1 rep maxes:
dumbell bp-190 lbs (90 lbs in each hand)
Deadlift- 315
squat on smith-255
bicep curl on straight bar 135
skull crushers 105
shoulder press 120 (60 in each arm)
i can do 8 wide grip pull ups, or 230 lb rows (115 per hand)
when i first started lifting my bench was 115 on barbell bench
deads about 150
(pussy) squats about 135
barbell curls about 75
skulls about 45

i really didnt have "big muscles" there were just bigger than most peoples, plus i had very little bf so they looked bigger
How would they be bigger than most peoples since - for example - my brother is about 6'2" - 6'3" and he weighs in at about 201lbs, fairly lean?
Also, your lifts for 3 months in the gym are outrageous. I know very few people who curl 135lbs period, let alone after 3 months. And, it's pretty hard to do 1 rep dumbbell max, since you will get stuck in the bottom position even at a 3-4RM and need a spot up, so I don't know how you're testing that. I've never even seen someone do a 1RM with any of the DB presses.
Just realize that your claims sound really dubious.
i can do six reps of 180, i think its safe to say i can do 190. i can curl 135, whether you like it not
1yr - that makes more sense. So what were your lifts 3 months ago at 155lbs? That was what I was wondering.
ID, I think you're a confused kid.
I hope you made the gains you claim, but I doubt it.
Also - Inferior, what are your measurements? I'm guessing your arms will be, what, 16.5" - 17"?
wow.. that was a very good article.

While doing anything but translating Coptic like I should, I came across this: my very first alter, neatly combining my two obsessions. I'm only putting this up in hopes I finally get embarassed enough by the shoddy quality of my painting to redo it, something I've wanted to do ever since finishing it but never had enough incentive for.
The card is Recuperate, the art a copy of Ani's Book of the Dead.

Most striking feature:
An underground Japanese tea salon in the Sant Gervasi area of Barcelona. Usagui has a simple but beautiful interior. Simple wooden tables combined with a variety on chairs. There's one large table and some small tables. And on the menu there's tea and small cakes. Don't forget to search for the very small statues of a man and woman inside some of the bricks on the wall. Lovely.

Haha, remember Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit?
Back when he was "cool" in 1990-nevermind, doucher-deluxe Fred Durst and his band of flunkies were somehow placed at the top of the charts thanks to the hard-earned dollars of landscapers, rollerbladers, and teenage moms and smokers alike. It was hell, my friends – or so you would think with all of the gear featuring flame patterns back then. "Nu-metal" was the shit bro, and if you weren't braiding your whiteboy corn-rows, carrying your skateboard everywhere, or drinking Surge like it was gonna be discontinued (whoops), chances are you were probably getting laid and laughing at the aforementioned.
Now here we are in 2011, and apparently the still, hotdog-flavored waters of bad taste run deep. Our guess? People either miss the sound of what tribal tattoos, statutory rape and cargo shorts sounds like, "KoЯn sold out," or a certain someone with a red Yankee fitted is not having such a merry, post-barely-relevant career.
Whatever the case (really, who cares?), have a half-assed listen to the latest from Jacksonville, Florida's finest, take a trip down memory lane and try to remember when JNCO Jeans, professional wrestling, super-gauge-pierced anything and Napster were, like, totally the most bitchin' things on the fuckin' planet, dood-guy.

I do not know how to tank, but I seriously would like to know how to tank on Blood DK's. I'm a unholy DPS, but I'm getting quite tired of all the insults, pm's, banned guilds, friends, old friends, teaming up on Mocking my DPS, Life, In-game reality.
I believe over two months ago I was going to take my own life, but I thought on it otherwise.
But Now I want to play as a tank, I need all the advice on how to tank. I've got what I think a Blood tank would need: Dodge rating, Hit Rating and Def Cap?
I do have some gear off ToC regular 5 man, ToC Heroic 5 man, Drak'Tharon Keep, and some blues' off other dungeons. I don't do dungeons as much as I thought I would, but time has been short lately. Cold freezing temperatures lately, making me play WoW less. I am off Lothar Alliance US- I was referred of this site off the Trade channel, thought I could get some more better, sophisticated help on this "tanking" profession.
I do have some trinkets but I might of sold a couple from last month. I'm looking forward to any advice you have for a failer like me, but my time is almost up on this Subscription. 9 days left, then I'll have to wait til December to Renew.

Broadway pitchers combine for no-hitter in win over Hawks
By Dennis Atwood - firstname.lastname@example.com
FRONT ROYAL -- Two Broadway pitchers tossed a combined no-hitter, keeping Skyline grounded, in taking a 14-1 non-district victory in the baseball season opener for both teams on Tuesday evening at Bing Crosby Stadium.
Broadway batters smacked 12 singles, six being of the infield variety, and one double, in piling on the runs, in the mercy-rule shortened five-inning contest.
The Gobblers' starting hurler, junior left-hander Corey Armentrout, started his season in spectacular fashion, tossing three no-hit innings, with eight strike-outs and five walks, to earn the win. Right-handed junior Cameron Smith preserved the no-hitter with two innings of effective relief work.
Armentrout was sharpest in the second inning, striking out the side on 17 pitches.
"My arm feels good," Armentrout said. "For my first outing, I'm happy. I definitely need to work on getting the ball down and hitting spots better and work a little bit more on command. I relied mostly on my fastball, and tossed in a few change-ups."
Armentrout's battery mate, senior catcher Walker Turner, not only worked behind the dish for Armentrout's gem, but also went 4-for-4 (all singles), with three RBIs, from the right-hand batter's box.
"We were a little conservative today and relied mostly on the fast ball, to make sure [Armentrout] was throwing strikes," Turner said. "I hit mostly fastballs today, and we hit pretty well all-around as a team."
Broadway opened the top of the third with three consecutive infield hits to load the bases for clean-up hitter Nathan Wisman, who hit a solid shot to left field, knocking in two runs.
It turned into a long parade as the Gobblers sent 11 more batters to the plate, garnering eight more runs on five more hits, and four walks, to increase their lead to 11-1.
Ironically, it was another small-ball hit that ended the scoring barrage.
After Broadway's 13th batter in the inning, Wisman, drew a walk to load the bases in his second plate appearance in the frame, still with no outs, center fielder Tyler Conley hit a swinging bunt that hugged fair ground more than halfway down the third-base line.
Hawks third baseman Mike Accettullo charged it, making a clean bare-handed pickup, fired to home plate to force out Josh Ebberly, and catcher Ryan Settle fired the ball to first to get Conley and complete the double play.
Armentrout then grounded out to end the onslaught.
The 30-minute delay between innings took a toll on Armentrout, who issued three walks in the bottom of the frame. But they were sandwiched between two more strikeouts and a popout to preserve his 66-pitch no-hitter.
"I thought Corey [Armentrout] stared a little tentative," Broadway coach Yates Hall said. "In the second inning [Armentrout] looked a lot more comfortable, and in the third inning I think he said he started sliding around on the mound a little bit, so I think he lost his concentration then. I think that long wait [in the top of the third inning] definitely effected him some.
"All in all I think it was pretty good outing. And Cameron Smith came in and did a fine job throwing lots of strikes after that. I can't complain with throwing lots of strikes."
Smith relieved Armentrout to start the fourth inning, and retired three of the four Skyline batters he faced in that frame, with Rodney Custer reaching on an error by third baseman Nick Fulk.
The Hawks' only run came on three Broadway errors opening the fifth inning.
Accettullo started the frame with a routine fly ball to center, which was flubbed by Conley for a two-base error. Travis Custer then reached on Fulk's second error, advancing Accettullo to third.
Gobbler catcher Turner then tried to catch Custer stealing second, but over-threw the bag, enabling Accettulo to cross the plate with Skyline's only tally.
Smith then got Settle to fly out to center, struck out Luke Pingley, walked relief pitcher Joe Bass on a 3-2 count, and struck out Ty Helmick to end the game and preserve the combined no-hitter.
Pingley started on the mound for Skyline, working two innings, giving up five runs on six hits, with a strike out and three walks, and was charged with the loss.
"That's the game sometimes, those little bloopers sometimes fall in there," Skyline head coach Nick Sborz said. "But we gotta' make plays though and I take total responsibility for not having those guys ready. We did not get them ready enough in pre-season to come out here and play a game.
"You could tell it was our first day out. We can only progress from here. It's a long season. This was game one, and there's 19 more to go. There's only one way for us to go, and that's up."

A man accused of killing a local business owner has taken a plea deal. Anthony Clapper, 36, agreed to second degree murder charges in the death of James Owens.
Owens' body was found near his home in Bridgeport Township June 12. An employee of the excavating company behind the home found the man unresponsive. The man was later declared dead by police.
Police say Clapper killed the 77-year-old man with a cutting instrument during a robbery attempt. Clapper is also accused of stealing Owens' car.
Owens owned 25 properties in Saginaw County, including Owen's Contracting Services.
Friends and family say Owens never hesitated to help someone. They say Owens even helped the man who's accused of killing him.
"There's no sense in it, it's a senseless killing for a good guy," said Scott Jacques, an employee of the victim.

Sacha & Iris' Playful Sleep Space
Kids Room Tour
Names: Sacha (4) and Iris (2)
Location: Paris, France
Room Size: 15 square meters
High above the rooftops of Paris, Janette and Laurent created a colorful oasis where their two little children can dream. Ballerinas, garden gnomes, sleepy owls, and "very hungry caterpillars" form a magical mix that's just right for young imaginations to grow.
Enter Sacha and Iris's Room
Vibrant patterns from Janette's own girlhood mix with adorable prints from the Paris shop Petit Pan against a backdrop of pure white. On the surface, the room feels festive. But spend a bit of time among its crowd of characters – all neatly tucked away in plush piles or the tiny cubbies of an antique treasure box, and you'll soon get carried away on an international adventure.
Paper balloons from Japan dangle from the ceiling; a butterfly from Mexico flutters around on the wall; and a pirate ship poised on the window sill of their 1960s highrise looks ready to embark on an epic voyage through the clouds. When Sacha and Iris snuggle up beneath their rainbow-hued quilts each night, there's no telling where their sweet dreams will take them.
How would you describe the look and feel of this room?
Cozy, calm, colorful, and fun.
What is your favorite piece or element?
The mix of plain white walls and colorful textiles. Since I was a teenager I've always loved the combination of plain white walls & lots of decorative details in color and different materials and textures. I'm a big fan of Petit Pan's textiles so we have a mix of different cushions and the curtains come from them. Also, there is a framed pencil drawing of my son when he was a few days old done by a friend that I really cherish.
What was the biggest challenge decorating this room?
Making it child friendly.
Enter Sacha and Iris's Room
What do your friends say about the room?
That they want to spend time in there looking at all the little details. They are also surprised that it isn't full of toys. We made a choice to make a real play area in the living room and to keep the bedroom as a calm space.
Do you have any advice for parents creating a room for their child?
Create a space that kids can relax and feel safe.
If money were no object, what's your dream source?
Merci, Smallable, Serendipity.
There's a lovely collection of French feves – the little charms you find in the "Galette du Roi" around the holiday season. Can you tell us about it?
I love the idea of creating curiosity cabinets or little collections of interesting things. I really wanted the kid's room to be comfortable, bright and full of little things to inspire them. The letterpress tray is one I found in the street in London. Half of it is filled with Laurent's collection of feves from when he was a kid. I love the plain white ones made of biscuit ceramic but the painted ones are great too. We're adding to the collection every January!
Lots of the other things in the tray I've had since I was a kid. I had a similar tray hanging on the wall of my bedroom when I was a little girl with many of the things that are displayed there now. There is a strange ceramic rabbit with a very human looking face that was made by my great uncle Zemel. In fact he gave me lots of the little things that are in the tray. There is a little painted mushroom with charms hanging off it and a tiny set of tea things in silver. He lived in Los Angeles where he had junk shop in West Hollywood. He used to bring us all kinds of wonderful things when he came to visit when I was a kid.
What about the wonderful collection hanging on the wall above the white dresser? What can we find there?
I hung a left over roll of wallpaper that was the wallpaper in my first bedroom when I was a baby. It's a Sanderson "Oranges and Lemons" print from the 1970's. I remember it so vividly so I wanted my kids to enjoy it too. The paper heart was given to me on my birthday by a friend whose husband designs textiles and it's one of his prints. There is a fabric garland of peas, plums, and acorns that we bought in Takayama in Japan. The painted metal clock is one of a limited edition by Tsé Tsé. The Indian garland was a gift from a friend. The painted metal butterflies are ones that Laurent bought on a trip to Mexico. The little cotton sleeveless top was a gift that a friend brought back from India for Iris and it's hanging on a fabric hanger that I used as a kid.

Very sweet.
These windows are very common in Paris. Luckily kids rarely defenester themselves. Maybe you just teach them not to do it.
I love the colorful knit blanket and all the vintage figures- especially the kewpie dolls! Charming!
childish fun and joy.
OMG Barbapapa! We used to watch this at recess on snow days in my French elementary school. It's a child-friendly acid trip.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nr-Krv6v18
Just beautiful! Cheerful and light with great color - I love this!
Are bedrooms called sleep spaces in Paris? I thought maybe it was a partitioned area of a larger space, but it looks like a contained room.
I looove this one. It is totally my style. Great inspiration!
Finally, a child's bedroom that actually looks like a child lives there! Toys, unmatched bedding - great stuff.
I would LOVE to see a tour of their home...they seem so creative and eclectic!
It must be not only a labour of love, but such a fun past time finding little treasures for a letterpress tray. I could spend a very happy hour just admiring all the wonderful little details in this room.

With an ass like that, it's shocking two people could even fit on that jet ski.
Serena Williams was in Miami this weekend, looking more booty-ful than ever.
Can you imagine trying to "pierce" that hyde. You would need 12", just to get the tip in.
You unitelligent fools who are bashing her for this shot are just downright shallow examples of our human race who judge people by their appearance and not their depth and character as human beings.. Guess what you vomitting grossed out judges; she is blessed with incredible athletic abilities that have allowed her to enjoy such fabulous vacations that she is no doubt stalked upon. , she has supportive family and friends who love her unconditionally for who she is; not what her bottom looks like in a bikini....It's ignorant people like you that gross me out and make me feel like vomiting.
I'm a very jealous white girl. I only wish my butt could look like that.
Goodness, that young woman has NO cellulite! Aaaaarrrghhhh.
i don't care who you are this girls in shape and she looks good.
This gal's rear end is great, no cellulite. My white husband appreciates mine and it's half the size. White and black guys do compliment mine all the time. I would bet she gets loads of action.
Now that's a butt.
natural talent?? there's nothing natural about that - she and her sister are probably on steroids. so don't give me all this african BS - she grunts on the tennis court like she's some kind of a man....STEROIDS
She looks great!!!!
But I do have to agree with some of the other posts regarding the perversness of zooming in on her butt and posting it. It just seems wrong. This is a tennis champ for God sakes---not some reality star that leaked a porno of herself. I think Serena deserves a little more respect than that.
However, I am pleased that most of the comments are positive. She is in great shape and has a way better body than many celebrities half of her weight. Serena is a healthy role model all the way around.
Her ass is almost as big as Michelle Obama's
Jimmy The Greek was right---the slave owner took his big black buck and mated her with his big black woman...trying to build up heavy armed, legged, shouldered, butt workers....These Africans did not come over looking this way and dont look this way in their homeland. The slave owners were like Hitler trying to make a Master Race of workers. The Williams Sisters and most of the NFL is the living proof it works. You got nearly 500 years of this at play you're looking at.
Dont get uptight over it---it is what it is---dont you want to know you're background?
She's a successful woman in everything she does and has a great personality and she's pretty. Who could ask for more?
Ever wonder why there is so much discussion on stem cell research? Because you could make a Serena overnight.
Whole lot of junk in that trunk.
thats what ya call a FAT A$$
Tie in add copycat SS
I'm printing this picture so I can look at it when I work out...

Six years ago, Henry Brandmark, then 13 years old, signed up for the annual Northern Virginia Wiffle Ball World Series on a team called "Fast Plastic," expecting a day filled with friends and sport at Vienna's Waters Field.
What he didn't expect was how deeply the tournament, run by the nonprofit of a local baseball player who died of brain cancer in 2005, would impact his life.
Today, Brandmark, who graduated Madison High School in June, counts the tournament as his "favorite day of the year," both for the competition on the field and the cause for which thousands of players suit up and raise money each year.
"It's a great privilege to be able to play in a wiffle ball tournament and have as much fun as we do as well as helping raise money for a great cause," Brankdmark said. "People don't realize how much time they put into the tourney and how much time they put into the charity."
This Saturday marks the 17th annual world series, and the eighth run by the 2 Young Foundation, a Vienna-based nonprofit local player Brian Bedell, an Oakton High grad, formed with friends and his wife, Amy,
The group is "dedicated to caring for families and patients affected by brain cancer, connecting communities to generate public awareness, and committing funds to further research in curing this disease."
The year following Bedell's diagnosis, the foundation brought back one of his favorite childhood sports — wiffle ball — as its first charity event.
It's an event that continues to benefit the 2YF foundation. This year's tournament is scheduled for Saturday.
At the inaugural event in 2005, Bedell — an avid sports fan and athlete who continued to play on two to three teams a season — could barely sit himself up in bed, said Michael Ryan, Bedell's childhood friend. Bedell left his job at the American Red Cross to pursue experimental clinical trials at The Brain Tumor Center at Duke University in Durham, N.C., because traditional treatments for his diganosis did not offer much hope for long-term survival. He had internal radiation delivered via a catheter directly into his brain (MAB), three more craniotomies, multiple chemotherapy treatments and external beam radiation.
Still, on May 23, 2005, Bedell sat in a wheelchair behind home plate at the tournament's Herndon location. He stayed until the final four, watching Ryan and his former teammates play wiffle ball, all of them wearing jerseys with Bedell's name and number — 22 — on the back.
Less than 48 hours later, Bedell died at age 35, leaving behind his wife Amy, his 65-lb. yellow lab Libby, parents Mary Bedell of Vienna and Bob and Jenny Bedell of Indianapolis, along with a sister and two twin nephews, who he mentored like his own.
Eight years later and there are still traces of Bedell's quick wit, easy smile and signature laugh on Waters Field each year, organizers told Patch last year.
And the 'little wiffle ball tournament' isn't so little, anymore. Local businesses offer their support through sponsorships, food or activity donations. The space between the fields, community center and firehouse come alive with families watching or playing ball.
As of last year, the foundation had brought in more than a quarter million dollars, used for cancer research and grants for cancer patients. Last year, the foundation raised $45,000 For Brain Cancer
The all-day tournament features four leagues based on skill-level and age: Little League, Minor League, Major League and Masters League. Each team raises at least $240 to participate; the two teams with the highest amount raised get an automatic bid to the Sweet 16.
Brandmark will take the field again Saturday with fellow Warhawks Nate Favero (signed with Brigham-Young University), Tim Davis (Georgetown) and hs father.
The tournament is "great fun," Brandmark says — and it gets pretty intense (some teams actually root against their squad, he said). "But in the end it is all for a great cause."
The tournament kicks off at 8 a.m. at Waters Field, Vienna.

ICANN has already allowed two major expansions of the addressing system. In 2000, it approved seven new domains, including ".info" and ".biz." It began accepting new bids again in 2004. It added seven from that round, including ".xxx" last year. It also cleared others on an ad hoc basis, including ".eu" for the European Union and ".ps" for the Palestinian territories.
Under the new system, the application process will be streamlined and allow for up to 1,000 new suffixes a year.
