Apr 28, 2012Grand Slam Tennis 2 doesn't compare to the bigger tennis francises. Te career mode is strangely put up, and it doesn't pay off to specialize in one specific play style. The online modes and Classic-games keep it from being awful, but that's all there is to it.
Mar 15, 2012Grand Slam Tennis 2 has a good visual product with quality stadiums and good gameplay. However, there is a lot of work that needs to be done with the career mode to make this game have a much higher replay value than what it has currently. After three years of releasing the first title, it is concerning that this was the final product.
Games Master UKMar 14, 2012Exhaustive tennis sim with fantastic gameplay modes but lacking the depth of its rivals. [Apr 2012, p.84]

ICE Agent Myron Chisem Shot at Home in Carson; 14-Year-Old Son Arrested for Murder
Sheriff's investigators at the scene.
Update: Headline has been changed to include the victim's name, Myron Chisem, as provided to the Associated Press by his "friend," Shawn Butler. The same friend tells KPCC that the suspected shooter "was a very nice boy and he has always been. Quiet, no problems. And Myron loved him to death."
On the same night that three Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents were shot on the job in NorCal -- and about a month after a fatal shootout between agents at the Long Beach federal courthouse -- another ICE agent died just after 9 p.m. on Thursday while sitting in his home in Carson.
The victim's 14-year-old son, who sheriff's officials say made the 911 call after the shooting, is also believed to be the killer, City News Service reports. And according to KNX news radio, investigators believe the young teen...
... was standing in the family's big suburban backyard when he fired a single shot from his dad's own U.S. government-issued gun. It apparently pierced through the ground-floor window and hit his father inside.

Sheriff's officials have arrested the alleged shooter for domestic violence.
The father and son live in a pristine row of houses along Broadacres Avenue (along with the man's girlfriend, says the L.A. Times), only a few doors down from Broadacres Elementary:

The victim, apparently in his early 40s, was a special agent for Homeland Security Investigations, according to ICE. Director John Morton released this statement:
"I am deeply saddened to report that one of our ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agents died tragically at his home in the Los Angeles area overnight. This is a difficult time for the family and loved ones of the agent, and for everyone at ICE. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers."
The L.A. County Coroner's office says it will not release the agent's name until next of kin has been notified.

…"I DON'T CATCH FEELINGS BABY, I JUST CATCH FLIGHTS"….#feelings&flights
"I don't catch feelings baby, I just catch flights…"
"…first official release (EP)…a quirky collection of pop, hip hop and urban punk music!"
This is the full Freakshow Mixtape (only available on-line). Contains original music from both The Freakshow EP and the mix-tape sessions as well as exclusive vocal/track mash ups between SoBE LASH and artist as wide ranging as Radiohead and Project Pat.
Fun Ride is the first official single from SoBE LASH's third EP (as yet untitled). Featuring a catchy guitar loop, grungy electronic kicks and snares and SoBE's familiar snark and innuendo-laden lyrical delivery, the track moves deftly between the disparate genres of R&B, GlitchHop and Dance-pop. The out-of-left-field 80's/post punk guitar solo is the perfect WTF ending for a blissfully WTF song by an equally WTF artist…
All about those nights that you will never remember…no, really.

Matriarchs & Cowards
Seattle Channel host C.R. Douglas invited Stranger News Editor Josh Feit to come on his show this Friday to talk about the upcoming electionthe mayor, the monorail, the city council races. C.R. also invited Seattle Weekly political editor George Howland to come on the same show. Howland refused because, according to Douglas, Howland was "uncomfortable" going on the show with someone from the Stranger.
What is Howland afraid of? He was no doubt pissing his pants at the thought of Josh picking apart the Weekly's lame-brained endorsement of city council candidate Casey Corr. The Weekly endorsed Corr, A.K.A. "The Mayor's Boy," claiming Corr split with Nickels over the South Lake Union trolley. But Corr actually supports the trolley. Corr is an enthusiastic backer of Greg Nickels's entire South Lake Union agenda. But that didn't stop the Weekly from citing Jan Drago's support for the mayor's South Lake Union agenda as the reason they oppose her re-election. (Drago is Corr's opponent.)
So the self-described male "matriarchsâ and "feministsâ at the Weekly twist the record, ignore the facts, and tell fibs in order to deny their endorsement to ONE of the TWO women on our nine-member city council. According to the Weekly, we should replace Jan Drago, a woman who stands up to our powerful male mayor (a mayor the Weekly claims to hate!), with a man who is a former mayoral staffer and who will be, if he gets on to the city council, a future mayoral yes man/ass kisser. How matriarchal of you, boys.
If all Seattle newspapers were run by matriarchs like the boys running the Weekly Washington would have two male U.S. Senators today instead of Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray.
Josh is happy to go on the show even without Howland to slap around. (And we can slap Howland around on the Slog whenever we like.) But Howland's limp attempt at keeping The Stranger off Seattle Channel makes me wonder about something else. No one from The Stranger is ever asked to appear on KUOW's Weekday anymore. Josh used to be a regular presence on that show. One of the current regular guests on KUOW's Weekday is Seattle Weekly editor Knute Berger. So did Berger pull the same stunt? Did he tell KUOW that he wouldn't go on if Josh went on too? The Stranger news team, which Josh leads, provides detailedeven obsessivecity hall coverage. (Josh says he's never actually seen Knute at city hall.) It seems extremely odd that KUOW shuts the Stranger out of a show about local news and politics week after week.
Anyway, props to C.R. Douglas for not letting those matriarchal babies at the Weekly push him around. And shame on Steve Scher at KUOW if he's letting the Weekly push him around.

Where does Toni Ribas find these girls? The director/performer again recruits a sensational lineup of European sluts for some intense fucking, setting up shop this time on the island of Ibiza. The names of the girls are unclear, but it just doesn't matter because fans will not be disappointed with anything here.
From the opening b/g poolside anal to the closing d.p., it's non-stop nasty stuff. Ribas has help from his buddies, but that doesn't stop him from handling his own anal business in three scenes. Take your pick, because the women are all natural, tanned and in excellent shape. The explosive b/g/b/g might be the signature scene, but Ribas' meeting with the supermodel brunette on the hood of a car is easily worth a 2004 pre-nom.

Church ministries have been feeding homeless people in Philadelphia's public parks for decades – not as a charitable gesture, but as an act of faith.
But earlier this year, city officials passed an ordinance banning public feeding of groups of more than three people in any city park – taking care, of course, to exempt city-sanctioned special events, family picnics and other gatherings the city finds more palatable.
The law targets church groups and charities that give meals to the homeless on land along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, home to major museums such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the newly opened Barnes Foundation art collection.
Why make it so hard to feed the homeless in the City of Brotherly Love?
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter's official explanation for the ban is that he wants to move feeding the homeless inside (though the city is vague about how or when this will happen). Moreover, the city argues, church feeding programs are health hazards that create a mess in the park. The mayor offered part of the plaza surrounding City Hall as a temporary alternative location.
Religious leaders dismiss the city's objections to meal distribution in public parks as bogus, pointing out that no one has gotten sick from the food distributed and volunteers clean up the space used. Moreover, many of the homeless who live in the park are reluctant to travel elsewhere (leaving their few possessions) – and some are too disabled to do so.
According to critics of the law, the real reason for the ban is the proximity of the feeding programs to tourist attractions, especially the new $150 million building housing the Barnes Foundation collection that opened in May.
To stop the law from taking effect, religious groups (with support from the American Civil Liberties Union) filed suit in federal court charging that prohibiting churches from feeding the homeless in city parks violates religious freedom (
Chosen 300 Ministries, Inc. v. City of Philadelphia).
The city responded by claiming that because the law "imposes no restrictions upon praying or preaching or reading the Gospel or engaging with the homeless," the ban on feeding doesn't interfere with the churches' right to practice their faith.
In July, U.S. District Judge William H. Yohn, Jr., rejected the city's argument and granted a temporary injunction barring implementation of the law. In a written opinion issued two weeks ago explaining his order, the judge wrote that government has no business ascribing some of the churches' religious activities more religious significance than others.
To support his conclusion that the park feeding ban violated the religious freedom of the ministries, Yohn relied not on the First Amendment, as might be expected, but on the Pennsylvania Religious Freedom Protection Act.
That's because the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the protections of the First Amendment's free exercise clause in 1990, declaring that government no longer had to show a compelling state interest before denying religious exemptions to generally applicable government laws that substantially burden the free exercise of religion (
Employment Division v. Smith
In response to the court's 1990 ruling, some states – including Pennsylvania – have passed legislation restoring the "compelling interest" test.
According to Yohn, Philadelphia's public feeding ban would likely fail that test because the city has not shown that governmental interests are strong enough to override religious freedom in this case. Moreover, the city has not provided a truly viable alternative for relocating the feeding programs.
Philadelphia is not the only city trying to move homeless people and those who serve them out of public parks. According to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, more than 50 other cities have passed anti-camping and anti-feeding ordinances.
Nutter is appealing the court injunction. But whatever happens in the courts, church leaders in Philadelphia promise to keep the meals coming – even if it means defying the law.
After all, when it comes to helping "the least of these," they believe in obeying a higher law.

Good job,I liked it alot o ummm wow thast was long like 10 minutes anyways good job
Theres the Good and The Bad
First I wanted to start off and Say your animation skills are very good. I just feel that theres to many Stick Figure movies out there with the same concept, that is 1 on 50 fighting. I guess your trying to appeal to most people when you did that and what is a stick animation with out it. I just feel that that in particular was a bit unorriginal, dont get me wrong I loved the whole story line with the immortal taking over his body. I feel that stick movies in a whole have been way overdone in this genre. Anyways I hope to see more from you
Oh yea!
this was just slick and cool animation the whole way through. limked the concept, only weakness, and not a big one, is the fact that the storyline was a little to plain, otherwise the best movie i have seen on newgrounds. keep up da good work.
stick figure matrix/anime cross (nice!)
Very entertaining, although the action scenes became a little too unreal but I guess that was implied in the title. The only real weakness in your flash was that it had very little actual context and background information for the"story there was no real "who what and why". The action was definitely heavily influenced by the matrix (cool) and in spite of the nonstop action and lacking background information it kept my interest from start to finish.
I am truly astounded that you managed to convey such active action scenes using stick figures as a medium and claim to be new with flash animation. Keep up the good work, you have both skill and great potential.
There were somethings i like and some i didnt like here a few.
Somethings I like were the music match the part really well and the fact that the guy offered a truce that rare.
Now somethings I didn't Like like the fact the people would be one color in one part and in the next part they were a lighter or darker color you should use the same color for the person and the fact that the guy had some talking part but not many he should talk or not talk.
But over all it was a great movie.

I am a big fan of tea. I hail from Punjab, India. I like it with cardamom and milk and water in 1:1 proportion. And I like to boil everything together (this is the way its done in majority of Indian households). Recently, I noticed that the tea tastes much better if I put sugar in my cup after pouring the tea in it, rather than boiling the sugar with everything. It tastes so fresh this way that I have altogether stopped putting in the sugar while boiling. Is there anyone who shares this taste with me and can give me some scientific explanation on what is the difference?
Yes, it would taste different- Sugar chrystals are made of sucrose saccharose(glucose combined with fructose), if you boil sugar with an acid (milk is slightly acidic[ph 6.5-7]) your sugar splits into its monomers-fructose and glucose(invert-sugar). Fructose fits into your taste receptors better than sucrose or fructose causing it to taste sweeter(1.73 x sweeter).
Yes according to science sugar is always use after boiling water because if we used sugar before boiling water then elevation of boiling point will occur that is more energy require to boil water.so this process is very expensive. So according to my opinion always use sugar after boiling water.

LAWTON, Okla. (AP) - Lawton police have arrested a man wanted in a fatal stabbing earlier this month.
Police say officers following an anonymous tip found Robert Hoadley at a home in northwest Lawton about 4 a.m. Monday and arrested him as he tried to crawl out a window.
Hoadley was wanted for second-degree murder in the April 15 stabbing of Daniel Halterman.
Police say Halterman was stabbed to death while trying to help two women evict a man from their home.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older and breast cancer deaths have declined.
This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals.
• Women age 65 and older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women, even though breast cancer risk increases with age.
• Hispanic women have fewer mammograms than Caucasian women and African American women.
• Women below poverty level are less likely than women at higher incomes to have had a mammogram within the past two years.
• Mammography use has increased for all groups except American Indians and Alaska Natives.
If all women age 40 and older took advantage of early detection methods — mammography plus clinical breast exam — breast cancer death rates would drop much further, up to 30 percent. The key to mammography screening is that it be done routinely — once is not enough.
For more about NBCAM, visit www.nbcam.org. For additional information, call one of the following toll-free numbers: American Cancer Society, (800) 227-2345; National Cancer Institute (NCI) (800) 4-CANCER or Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization, (800) 221-2141.

- Ghosting shapes with Fill Opacity
- Understanding gradients and the gradient tools

- Saving tile patterns and applying them to a shape
- Importing and linking images from other applications
Skill Level Intermediate
All right gang, I don't know if you have noticed but I went ahead and made a few alterations to that circle filled with a tile pattern illustration that we saw in the previous exercise and then I went ahead and saved my modifications as Big pattern circles.ai and this file is just oozing with vector based goodness here. I am going to go ahead and click on the star shape right there and I want you to see, this star shape is part of a rather intricate compound path that involves three concentric circles. Nothing is filled at this point.
They are just stroked. Three concentric circles and a star and I was able to combine these paths together using that command under the Object menu > Compound Path > Make and incidentally you can apply that command in waves if you wanted to. So the first thing I did was I combined the outermost circle with the star and then I added another circle and combined it with Make and then added another circle and combined it with Make. So, in other words, you can use this command to add a standard path to an existing compound path if you want to or even to marry two compound paths together.
All right, so anyway, that said, I'm going over to the Appearance palette because I want you to see how these Fills and Strokes were put together. Notice there is no fill. The entire compound path has a Drop Shadow associated with it. That's why we have this little bit of darkness over on the bottom right edge. And then we have got a big 60 point stroke right there which is that Arabian gradient pattern and then behind that, we have another 60 point stroke that's entirely white and it's offset slightly so that we have this white highlight edge up-left.
I was able to create that offset using this Transform function. So if you click on Transform, you will bring up the Transform effect dialog box and you will see that I moved on the fly and dynamically, I moved the Stroke 2 points over to left and then 2 points up. And that's what we are seeing there and if you ever decide to apply that command on your own, you find it up here under the Effect menu > Distort & Transform and there it is, the Transform command and it is an utterly wonderful command. We'll explore in it all kinds of detail in a future chapter, part of the Mastery series, here inside One-on-One.
Anyway, I just want you to get a sense of what's going on. If you want to try to see what effect each one of these items has, you can turn On and Off the eyeballs here inside of Illustrator CS4, I'm so glad they gave us eyeballs in the Appearance palette. It makes it much easier to tear apart an effect and see how it's put together and also just see what contribution is being made by different attributes, so you can decide if you want them or not. Anyway, here is my larger point. I want you to look at this graphic and notice that whatever is going on, that all of the tile patterns, even though we have three different tile patterns in all, working together in different objects, all of the tile patterns merge together perfectly.
So you know how, when you have a really nicely tailored shirt and you button-up the shirt, why then, one half of the shirt matches up perfectly with the other half of the shirt, you know what I mean. So the pattern flows across beautifully instead of getting interrupted. That's what we have going on here except, we have got circles instead of shirts. Now the reason I bring it up is because this is very fragile and you can muck it up really easily if you are not careful. Check this out for example. Let's say I decide to grab this circle and I want to move it to a different location. I'll go ahead and drag it over here and now the pattern is out of alignment because I moved both the object and the pattern at the same time.
So it's unlikely that I would want to make a mess of things to the extent I have here, but it's possible and it's probable that you might want to scale some of these objects. So I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z in order to put that circle back where it was. Let's say I want to move this circle or a copy of this circle toward the inner ring right here and I would do that using the Scale tool. So, I'll go ahead and grab the Scale tool and the center is right there in the center of the shape. So that's fine and then I'll go ahead and drag from down, right inward like so, and I'll press the Shift key so that I'm constraining the proportions and then I'll press Alt or Option and so I have got Shift+Alt down here on the PC, Shift+Option on the Mac, so that I'm creating a clone. Release and then release my keys and oh, my goodness! What have I done? This is a complete and utter catastrophe.
I have got this tiny little iddy-biddy tile pattern and everything is out of alignment. So that's no good. What do I do? Well I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on the Mac. When you are working with a lot of objects that have tile patterns associated with them like this. You can either double-click on a Scale tool icon in order to bring up the Scale dialog box and you can turn Off Patterns. You might also decide that you want to turn of Scales Strokes & Effects so that you are not making an iddy-biddy stroke right there. You may have noticed that the stroke got thinner and then we could go over to our Uniform Scale option and I could enter something like 68%, I don't know, I'm just shooting in the dark here and we'll see what happens even though that's not the right Amount I want to make it smaller than that. Let's try 48%.
Notice that not only is my object smaller but it's still the same thickness, thanks to the fact that I turned Off Scale Strokes & Effects. And the pattern did not scaled at all thanks to the fact that I turned Off the Patterns checkboxes, so only the Objects checkbox is turned on and only the object got scaled. Then if I click OK then look at that, it looks great. All right, so what if however, you want to use the Scale tool. We'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z, or Command+Z on the Mac. Then in that case what you do is you press Ctrl+K or Command+K in order to bring up the Preferences dialog box and you turn off these checkboxes right here.
Now they are turned off now for us because I just turned them off inside the Scale dialog box. So once you turned them off inside one of the dialog boxes, they're off globally inside the software, then if you end up turning them back on inside the dialog boxes they get turned On globally as well. However, if you did not bring up that dialog box in the first place and you just want to use the tools, then you'd press Ctrl+K, Command+K to bring up the Preferences dialog box and then turn Off Transform Pattern Tiles and turn Off Scale, Strokes & Effects if you don't want to scale the strokes, of course, and the effects being things like Drop Shadows and so on.
All right, so I'll just click OK because that is what I want and then I'm going to go ahead and drag with the tool press, the Shift key and the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac release my mouse button and then release the keys and it looks dandy. All right, so that's how you go about ensuring that you can apply transformations to objects without affecting the tiles and incidentally now notice if I were to drag the object to a different place then the pattern remains the same. So the pattern remains aligned across all of these objects and I can put these guys anywhere I want and I'm still going to have aligned patterns like so. So that's the function of turning off that checkbox.
Now, what if you want the opposite? I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z a few times by the way or Command+Z on a Mac several times to get back to this appearance right here. What if I want to take all of these tile patterns, every single one of them, and I want to move this star so it's right there in the center of the entire illustration? How do I move the pattern without moving the objects? I'll show you how that works in the next and last exercise.

This monumental compendium cannot be reviewed in detail in the space available. Gotten up in the beautiful Hoeber format, with a wealth of excellent illustrations and an extensive bibliography and index, it contains an encyclopedic account of practically everything pertaining to the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. To the reviewer the value of the book lies not so much in the discussions of common topics which are adequately dealt with in ordinary textbooks as in the collection of all sorts of rare disorders and anomalies information about which is usually obtainable only in the periodic literature. This encyclopedic form of treatment sometimes disturbs the perspective a little and makes it hard to separate what is of established value from material which is less useful, but this can hardly be avoided in a reference book of this sort. The price is reasonable. It is perhaps to be regretted that the work was

Storage hardware sales are holding up only a little better than server sales: IDC estimates sales of standalone arrays fell 0.9% Y/Y in Q1, a reversal from growth of 2.3% and 4.7% in Q4 and 2012. Total storage sales (inc. server-attached gear) fell 3.2% after rising 0.7% in Q4. In the standalone market, IDC thinks #1 EMC had a 30.4% share (+140 bps Y/Y), #2 NetApp (NTAP) 14.9% (+80 bps), #3 IBM 10.9% (-50 bps thanks to a rough quarter), and #4 H-P (HPQ) 9.3% (-100 bps and also not faring well). Also: IDC thinks storage software sales rose 3.2% Y/Y in Q1. #1 EMC's share is pegged at 23.9%, #2 IBM's at 16.8%, and #3 Symantec's (SYMC) at 14.7%. CommVault (CVLT) and Veeam gained more share, growing 23% and 35% Y/Y.

They had $30 price target last year also. This stock is a value trap and has been range bound. This stock is like a rubber band... you can get it stretched a few notches above 25 max and then it pulls back to the low 20s. It's been range bound and any news makes it either go up or down. IBM or NetApp or Rackspace does bad in the storage business? Then this is bad for hardware and EMC tumbles. VMW does bad or has low guidance, EMC tumbles. EMC appoints new CEO for VMW, EMC share price jumps. EMC announces dividend, share price jumps...

Essay topics: Some people believe that government funding of the arts is necessary to ensure that the arts can flourish and be available to all people. Others believe that government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.
Government's funding of arts is actually a comprehensive issue, including which arts should be funded, how much should government devote. We can't just give a simple answer yes or no. In my view, the minority of art should be sponsored, while popular art could make living by business or other social organization.
Most of us enjoy the beauty of art, like music, painting, movies, and so on. These amazing art works can release people, inspiring public and give us a sense of beauty. Such as Mona Lisa, which is the most beautiful painting ever, attract us by her charming smile. While art can be impressive and meaningful, but there are some problems on how the artists make living, especially those occupy the minority area of art. For instance, Chinese version B-BOX which majors in mimicking nature sound, has thousands years history. But now, it is facing a dilemma due to the shrink population of audience, as well as lesser people who are willing to learn it. Only through government's funding, this tradition art can be preserved, and luckily, the art
funding association just publishes a policy to support these minorities.
While in some popular arts, government's funding seems not to help them, but to destroy them. First, government has limited funding to devote, so not every artist can get a piece of the cake. To earn the support, some popular artist chooses to flatter government by their work. Such as some writers in china, writing eulogy of the communist party every day to make money. And some directors, cast revolutionary movies all the time to flatter the party. A more severe case is that BoXiLai, who is governor of ChongQing, forces government departments, commerce institutions, universities and schools singing 'red songs', and thus to learn the Maoist idea. Under such totalitarianism, everybody sing 'red songs', how would arts develop. From Bo's extreme case, we can see government understand the meaning of popular art, and may further take advantage of it to advocate their politic will. So, it is critical to avoid this case, that government impedes the integrity of arts through funding, and to achieve their own goals.
In conclusion, government funding of arts should be properly utilized, instead of serving their own purpose. As illustrated above, minority of the arts is most needed to be sponsored, and thus to preserve the tradition, while the popular arts should not be funded, due to either their own ability to make money, or government may take advantage of it.

The opinions expressed in this commentary are those of the Fund's manager and are current through March 31, 2016. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry grouping, among other factors. The Barclays U.S. Gov't/Credit Index measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated United States Treasuries, government-related, and investment-grade U.S. corporate securities that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to one year. In addition, the securities have $250 million or more of outstanding face value and are fixed-rate and non-convertible securities. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Risk factors. The value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and, as such, the net asset value of the Fund may fall as interest rates rise. The lower-rated securities in which the Fund may invest may carry greater risk of nonpayment of interest or principal than higher-rated bonds. In addition to the risks typically associated with fixed-income securities, loan participations in which the Fund may invest carry other risks, including the risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary. Loan participations may be unsecured or not fully collateralized may be subject to restrictions on resale and sometimes trade infrequently on the secondary market. The Fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform non-dividend paying stocks and the market as a whole over any period of time. In addition, there is no guarantee that the companies in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that dividends, if declared, will remain at current levels or increase over time. The amount of any dividend the company may pay may fluctuate significantly. In addition, the value of dividendpaying common stocks can decline when interest rates rise as fixed-income investments become more attractive to investors. This risk may be greater due to the current period of historically low interest rates. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus. Not all funds or fund classes may be offered at all broker/dealers.

Screw her.Not in the litteral sense either, but the turn her into the Alik'r sense no one helps the Thalmor on my whach.Also anyone with two brain cells can see she's the one lying.

A new study on the genetics behind schizophrenia and bipolar disorder made a breakthrough by exploiting the similarities of Ashkenazi genetics, according to an article in the Washington Jewish Week.
The study, which identified risk factors for the two diseases, found that a tiny genetic difference can increase their probability, the Washington Jewish Week reported.
"Ashkenazi homogeneity enhances our ability to detect these risk factors," study team leader Dr. Todd Lencz, an associate investigator at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, told the paper. Lencz also said that all Ashkenazi Jews today descend from a group of between 200 and 300 people who lived between 700 and 800 years ago.
The team looked at a particular gene and found that just one chemical change increases the risk of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the paper said.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Predicting the flu's antigenic ducking and weaving from year to year may become easier in light of a recent discovery, enabling the timely development of seasonal vaccines that won't be caught flatfooted by the flu's feints. The discovery emerged after researchers created and evaluated viruses that had a variety of amino acid substitutions—and different combinations of substitutions. This work revealed that seasonal flu escapes immunity and develops into new strains typically by just a single amino acid substitution. What's more, these single amino acid changes occur at only seven places on its surface.
That the flu depends on changes at so few sites to alter its outer coat, and thereby evade vaccines, comes as something of a surprise. Previously, it was thought that the flu could change amino acids at as many as 130 sites.
This discovery was described in a paper published November 21 in Science, in a paper entitled "Substitutions Near the Receptor Binding Site Determine Major Antigenic Change During Influenza Virus Evolution." The paper's authors, besides reporting that the flu typically relies on amino acid substitutions at just seven places, also noted that all these places are immediately adjacent to the receptor binding site—the area where the flu virus binds to and infects host cells.
"The virus needs to conserve this, its binding site, as it uses this site to recognize the cells that it infects in our throats," said Björn Koel, Ph.D., lead author of the paper and a researchers at the Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
In their paper, the authors speculate that the influenza virus would not change so close to the receptor binding site unless it had to. Moreover, they suggest that flaws arising from changes close to the receptor binding site could explain how the flu could have such a high mutation rate, and yet change its antigenic profile so slowly: "Given the high mutation rate of influenza virus and the observation that single amino acid substitutions are sufficient to cause antigenic cluster transitions, it is surprising that new antigenic clusters appear as slowly as they do—on average every 3.3 years. One hypothesis is that antigenic change has an intrinsic fitness cost that slows down the antigenic evolution of the virus."
Reflecting on the study's implications, Professor Derek Smith, Ph.D., study co-leader and researchers at the University of Cambridge, commented, "This work is a major step forward in our understanding of the evolution of flu viruses, and could possibly enable us to predict that evolution. If we can do that, then we can make flu vaccines that would be even more effective than the current vaccine."

Critical Rating: AAA
For the hairy pussy fan, there's nothing quite like the lady with a big, bushy pussy. Watching her play with it and get fucked drives fetishists insane. Bushy Pussy does a nice job in meeting this desire
Lena Ramon is a very sultry brunette with pierced nipples and a hairy twat and underarms. She looks just fine playing with that bush, and her lean, lithe body looks pretty swell when she gets spread open and fucked, as well.
The rest of the action here, though, is kind of lacking. In finding ladies with big bushes, there seemed to have been little attention paid to how hot these girls look while fucking and being fucked.
It's not bad, but aside from Ramon's scene, there is little spark to be had in this one.
Retailing: Some very hairy bushes.

Another baseball double standard
Cheap Seats
Published: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at 11:47 p.m.
Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon shocked the baseball world last Wednesday. He did what many people think about doing, though they never go through with it.
Chacon knocked down his boss.
The 30-year-old pitcher was suspended after shoving General Manager Ed Wade to the floor before the Astros played Texas last week.
Wade said he had asked Chacon to come into manager Cecil Coopers office for a meeting. Chacon refused, thus leading to the confrontation.
Apparently Chacon was upset that he had been replaced in Houstons rotation earlier in the week.
Regardless of the reason, Chacon got what he deserved when the Astros placed the righthander on waivers.
Which brings me to the one and only Manny Ramirez.
Bostons long-haired slugger is one of the games great characters, a modern-day equivalent to the colorful individuals of the past like Dizzy Dean and Jimmy Piersall.
But Manny echoed Chacons unfortunate decision in an outburst of his own.
Ramirez, 36, pushed 64-year old Jack McCormick, the Red Sox traveling secretary, to the ground before Saturdays game in Houston because McCormick could not fulfill the star left fielders late request for 16 tickets for that nights game.
The Red Sox brass responded to the altercation with the proverbial slap on the wrist.
Ramirez had a sit-down with McCormick and the two let bygones by bygones.
Thats probably a good career move by McCormick considering that Ramirez is a future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer who makes $20 million a year and is a cult hero in New England.
Amid a flurry of vague quotes from the front office about the event being an internal and in-house incident, it seems that Mannys only punishment was having to swallow his pride and say Im sorry.
More troubling, this is the second incident for Manny in the last month.
On June 5 at Fenway Park, Manny slapped teammate Kevin Youkilis in the dugout and the two had to be separated by teammates.
So why has Bostons management let these events go unpunished?
For two reasons.
No. 1: Manny flat out rakes.
Entering Tuesdays action, Ramirez sported a career .312 batting average with 506 career home runs.
He has knocked in 1,656 runs in his career and with David Ortiz on the DL, the Red Sox can ill afford to lose their other stud run producer.
Reason No. 2: The quirky Ramirez can do no wrong in the eyes of Boston fans who will just shrug and issue the worn cliche of thats just Manny being Manny, thus saving the Red Sox from a public relations fallout.
Ramirez has cultivated a reputation as a lovable space cadet, a guy who acts oddly but causes no real harm.
Fans would be mistaken to think that this event falls into the no harm category.
There is a pronounced difference between high-jinks like high-fiving a fan after a wall-climbing catch or using the bathroom in the Green Monster between innings and physically assaulting a team employee.
But Manny was still in uniform for the Sox on Saturday night, playing left field and batting fourth.
Chacon, who sports a 45-61 career record, wasnt allowed such a long rope largely because he is a middling major league talent.
I bet Chacon (2-3, 5.04 ERA with Houston in 08) wishes he was pitching more like Sandy Koufax.
Then he would probably still have a job.

Like I stated in a earlier post, I already own 250+ arcade games. I also own around 200 retail games, so for me this is not about being able to afford the games. For me not buying 1200 point games is the principle of the matter. 1200 point games continue to be released that are simply not worth the price. As a consumer I decided to take a stand and not support this trend.
Swamptastic mentions supporting the developers, and as my purchasing history dictates, I have supported them. I also support American dairy farmers, but if the price of milk jumped from $3 to $5 because the dairy farmers just wanted more money, I would not support them either. There is no difference in quality between a $3 and $5 gallon of milk, and that is the issue I am having with 1200 point games. There is no better value in a 1200 point game than a 800 point game.

Sorry but I do not agree with this logic. Because of inflation, consumers essentially have less money and purchasing power. But according to your rational we should "give them (developers) a little extra" for them overpricing a game while we have less money to spend? If this makes you happy, then by all means continue. However, I take no satisfaction in knowing I overpaid for something.

Hi all,
When you uncheck "Disallow Comments" on pages will this prevent Spambots from commenting? I disabled the comment code on the back end of page.php but they still get through somehow. Akismet does a good job, but we still get quite a bunch each month.
Also when you mark a page or post as "Private" does the Search Engines still crawl them, and if people have the URL will they see them?

Hudson's Bay Bread (Homemade Granola Bars)
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 15 mins
I can't explain how good these are. They are perfect snacks for camping/hiking trips. a great thing about them is that you can add or take away some ingredients, like the peanuts. I like to put in mini m&m's. My husband loves this stuff, but tells me I can only make it once a year, usually during the summer when we go on a big camping trip, mainly because of it's fat/sugar content - you have to be careful with this stuff- it's addicting! and I'm not sure about the servings, i just guessed :) UPDATE: Sorry about the typing error with the heating times, it is correct now.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 9 cups oats
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups margarine, melted
- 1⁄2 cup peanuts
- 4 cups chocolate chips
- preheat oven to 350.
- in a large bowl stir all the ingredients together.
- Press 1/2 inch thick onto a 9x18 inch cookie sheet.
- bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, until the mixture is bubbly,
- Remove from oven and let cool (this is very important, it will become very crumbly if you don't allow it to cool completely)
- Cut into small pieces and enjoy!

The taste for this is 5 stars, however, I was confused by the temperature differences, between pre-heating and cooking, and wasn't really sure what temperature this should be cooked at...That said, I really loved the way they tasted, and wasn't willing to give up on them. I halved the recipe, and added 1 cup of semi-sweet morsels, 1 cup of white chocolate morsels, 1 cup of whole almonds (for texture) and 3/4 c. chopped pecans, for personal preference. I mixed the ingredients up, as directed, but when I went to put in the oven, the recipe said to bake at a different temperature than it had been pre-heated to; I waffled, and put it in, as stated, and dropped the temperature. It came out, and I was hoping it would stick together, but, that didn't happen. I ended up squeezing them into balls, as Pneuma mentioned, and re-baking them for about 20 minutes at 275 degrees. That seemed to be the ticket! They are so yummy! My DS (5 y.o.) wanted 2 for dessert tonight. One of the highest compliments, IMO. Thanks for sharing, cookin_nurse. Made for Fall PAC '09.
I'm supposed to be eating real food, but why am I eating this first? I can't stop! So good! I used sugar substitute with this so I won't feel guilty eating this.Sure there were others that didn't settle or harden together that I had to squeeze them into balls (makes me wonder if Almond Roca was done the same way ;) ) but I love everything in it! The bars were crunchy sweet chocolaty. I don't think I'd want to buy expensive granola bars when I can make these instead. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

Seligman, Arizona is a Route 66 town all the way. This delightful town retains all the flavor of the old road.

Don't know what they're talking about. For me it's a mass of wrecks looking like old cars and shop after shop offering the same chinese made things with a print "route66" on it.
If this is the 60's America I'm happy not having lived there and then.
I could imagine a good story around Seligman but not this shameful "would like to be"
Sorry, but never again I will visit Seligman.
#2 Jun 5, 2011
Seligman is a town that seems to be playing on the so-called past glories of Route 66.
Some of the places, such as the Route 66 Historic Route 66 Motel and the Road Kill Cafe were nice, but about average as motels and restaurants go, but nothing special.
I think it's recent travelers who never traveled Route 66 in the pre-Interstate days who think there is something special about it.
Those of us who have traveled Route 66 and present day I-40 from year to year for some time have seen the imrovements in roads, motels and restaurants and have moved on.
#3 Jun 5, 2011
Just a thought on Route 66. Caveat: Preface this with a big "IMHO". LOL.
I think the problem for Seligman was that the business dropped off when it was bypassed by I-40 and they had to come up with a way to attract tourists, so they invented the Route 66 mythology.
A lot of people seem to have bought into it, but in reality...At least from recent construction noted... Most tourists seem to prefer the newer Holiday Inn Express, La Quinta and the other chains of motels, restaurants, service stations, etc. to the old "classic" motels which admittedly do have a comparatively small following in relation to Interstate Highway locations.
I doubt the majority would like to go back to "the good old days" of Route 66 only. You do have a choice today but you didn't "way back then."

A few thoughts after watching the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams fall behind at halftime of their Week 3 games:
49ers, down 17-3 at Minnesota: Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder accounts for much of the difference on the scoreboard. There was no shame in allowing Ponder's fourth-and-goal scoring pass to Kyle Rudolph. San Francisco defended the play well and had a man (safety Dashon Goldson) in Ponder's face. Ponder made an impressive touch throw. Later, Ponder went from passer under duress to dangerous runner at the flip of a switch. There was no hesitation. Ponder took off up the middle and was at full speed quickly. On offense, the 49ers are doing a good job on third down, but the Vikings appear ready for their misdirection plays in the run game. Minnesota seems a half-step ahead of the 49ers in just about every area, including special teams. Blocking David Akers' try and then getting a field goal before the half represented a big swing right before halftime. Alex Smith and Randy Moss haven't quite been in sync. Smith's passes for Moss have been high. Pressure was probably a factor when Smith missed Moss for a potential touchdown.
Rams, down 10-3 at Chicago: The Rams' defense was on the field too much early in this game. The Rams should feel pretty good about trailing by only a touchdown. Cortland Finnegan has another interception. Janoris Jenkins almost had another one. There's a sense watching St. Louis that the team is always close to picking off a pass, particularly against a quarterback as careless as the Bears' Jay Cutler can be. On offense, Sam Bradford has done a good job scrambling, but the passing game hasn't done enough. Brandon Gibson dropped what should have been a long reception deep in Bears territory. The passing game did get going in a two-minute setting right before halftime. Steven Jackson is playing, but his groin injury is diminishing his speed. Daryl Richardson looks so much faster.
Looking forward to the second halves.
