I also missed 10 (I think, was counting on my hands). As a Utah fan I didn't miss any about my own team though, missed the akron one, the one about consecutive passes, and some others about BYU prior to 1981.

So, if 1976 to 2013 is "nearly" 30 years (last time Utah beat Arizona State), then in 2016, will that be exactly 30 years?

Uterine Fibroids Health Center
Uterine Fibroids - Exams and Tests
Your doctor may suspect that you have a uterine fibroid problem based on:
- The results of a pelvic exam.
- The history of your symptoms and your menstrual periods.
You will probably also have a pelvic ultrasound or hysterosonogram to confirm that you have one or more uterine fibroids. A hysterosonogram is done by filling the uterus with sterile saline during a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound.
Recommended Related to Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomata) are noncancerous growths that develop in or just outside a woman's uterus (womb). Uterine fibroids develop from normal uterus muscle cells that start growing abnormally. As the cells grow, they form a benign tumor.
Read the Uterine Fibroids article > >
If you have had heavy menstrual bleeding, you may have a complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia.
Laparoscopy may be used to look for and locate fibroids on the outer surface of the uterus before removal (myomectomy).
Additional testing
If you have severe pain, bleeding, or pelvic pressure or have had repeat miscarriages or trouble becoming pregnant, you will probably have other tests to look for other possible causes of your symptoms. Two examples of possible causes are endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
And tests for specific symptoms, such as urinary or bowel problems, may be needed to diagnose the problem or to help build a treatment plan.

A second prohibited campfire on Otago Peninsula reserve land
in as many weeks has again threatened the fragile yellow-eyed
penguin colony, prompting further frustration among
firefighters and Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust members.
Portobello firefighters were called to Okia Flat about 9pm on
Monday because a fire had been lit on the sand by a man who
was camping overnight, after kayaking to the southeast end of
the beach, Station Officer Jamie Ramsay said.
''The fire was on the sand, at the very end of the inlet part
of the beach, where there is certainly no fires allowed,'' he
Although the man was ''doing everything as safely as
possible'', the risk for a campfire to spread remained too
''It's just far too risky to even contemplate lighting a
fire. Sparks could have [gone] into the grass, which is
tinder dry at the moment,'' he said.
''There is an endangered species down there, so even smoking
poses a phenomenal risk.''
The campfire had been extinguished by the time firefighters
arrived at the remote location.
A fire appliance could not get to the beach, so a different
vehicle had to be used.
Firefighters spent 90 minutes responding to the incident.
A male tourist was labelled an idiot by Department of
Conservation (Doc) volunteers after he lit a campfire at
Sandfly Bay, near the threatened colony.
Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust general manager Sue Murray said the
fire on Monday was the ''last thing'' the colony needed, and
trust members were concerned.
''It is a strict no-fire zone anyway, but habitats are even
more vulnerable at the moment because of the dry conditions.
The fact that it's neighbouring a penguin breeding area gives
rise to concern as well,'' she said.
Earlier this month, it was discovered about 60 yellow-eyed
penguin adults had died along the Otago Peninsula. The cause
is being investigated.

Feeling sluggish? New guidance from Public Health England states that unless you're consuming ten micrograms of vitamin D day per day - the equivalent of ten eggs - you should take a supplement to maintain healthy bones and muscles.
The main function of vitamin D is to regulate calcium and phosphate, which are vital for healthy bones, teeth and muscles - but levels of vitamin D deficiency are at a 50-year high. Experts have also become concerned in recent years that rickets is re-emerging in children who do not get enough vitamin D.

You just have a hunch - I think it's mother's instincts, more than anything
One Friday night, when TV presenter Emma Crosby was 41 weeks pregnant, she noticed her unborn baby had stopped moving.
Remembering advice given to her by midwives, she tried laying on her left side and drinking a glass of cold water - but once a couple of hours had passed with no further movement, she knew she had to take action.
Luckily, after an induced labour, baby Mary was born healthy - but if Emma hadn't known to phone for help, things could have been very, very different.
Every year in the UK there are more than 3,000 still births, 60 percent of which could have been prevented with better care.
Dr Hilary Jones joins us alongside Emma and little Mary to tell us more.

Teenagers are facing problems with overly accessible junk food that's much cheaper than healthier food. 25% of teenagers are buying junk food and a third of teenagers say there is a takeaway within 2 minutes of their school.
16 year-old Thomas joins us after having lost three stone by cutting out the junk food and talked to us about the way junk food is so easy to buy.
Concerned parents worry that with chips shops opening at 8am, this can't be good for tempted kids. The Child Obesity Strategy wants to make the labelling of junk food clearer to children, with proper nutritional information. Thomas says he now does all his cooking at home and is far more active.
"No child wants to be overweight or obese - they want to be healthy and look good" says Dr Hilary, calling for improved labelling of nutritional information on food. Thomas, agrees, and says he and his friends would be helped by more education from a young age.
The NHS is being criticised for its failure to diagnose and treat sufferers of debilitating Lyme disease. Today campaigners will lobby MPs for immediate changes to what they say is inadequate NHS testing and treatment for the condition.

I was looking at the loop.php file in the Twenty Ten template.
I was wondering if containing your loops in a separate file is recommended now.
The reason I ask this is because I feel like it is a lot simpler & cleaner managing the individual loops in each template file over having one giant loop, & I want to know if they are recommending running the giant loop, like the one in TwentyTen or if that is just something specific to that theme.
So basically the big question is should I be placing all my loops externally now or is that just the method used for TwentyTen. Is it bad practice to have separate loops in each template file? What are the benefits of the giant loop?

Any idea what's going on here? Dirt behind the keys? Faulty keyboard?
I'm not sure how to remove the keys...plus I don't want to ruin the keyboard. Do you guys know how to remove the keyboard on the zenbook prime?

"CD "BLAZE OF GLORY" One of Nashville's best kept secrets since the mid-'70s deserves far more recognition than she has received. Marshall Chapman was roots Americana before anyone pigeonholed it into a genre. As one of the first women on a major label playing original, Southern based, crackling rock and roll, she broke gender barriers most didn't realize existed. This is Chapman's seventh release for her label Tallgirl Records, 13th overall and one of the finest in a long career....... The album's confident, easy going but never lazy vibe is the result of working with the same musicians who contributed to 2010's successful Big Lonesome..... The opening Bo Diddley beat-driven "Love in the Wind," a duet with the similarly minded Todd Snider, is propelled by a restrained, insistent energy that snakes through the rest of the songs. It's a cool, swampy, unhurried approach that subtly sucks you in.... Now in her mid-60s, Chapman is clearly comfortable in her veteran stat"

Keegan vs. Tait: Week 2
Here we go with Week 2 of our Keegan vs. Tait college football picks showdown.
The younger generation jumped out to an early lead with an 8-2 record last week and there are a couple of differences in this week's picks as well, so the lead could grow or change hands.
Enough with the chit-chat, though. Here's a look at this week's games and picks.
Week 1 Results
Tait: 8-2
Keegan: 7-3
Week 2 Games
Kansas at Rice
Tulsa at Oklahoma
Georgia State at West Virginia
Iowa at Iowa State
UMass at Kansas State
Lamar at Oklahoma State
Ole Miss at Texas
Alabama at Texas A&M
UCLA at Nebraska
Purdue at Notre Dame
Question: You're starting a pro football franchise and can draft any player in his prime in NFL history. Who do you take and why?
Kansas 35, Rice 27
Oklahoma 41, Tulsa 21
West Virginia 42, Georgia State 13
Iowa 20, Iowa State 14
Kansas State 47, UMass 10
Oklahoma State 56, Lamar 7
Texas 23, Ole Miss 19
Alabama 30, Texas A&M 20
Nebraska 33, UCLA 31
Notre Dame 35, Purdue 9
Answer: You know the whole quarterback run thing that has swept over the NFL in recent years thanks to guys like Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton? Yeah, John Elway did that. OK, so maybe Elway was not the smoothest man on the move and maybe he did not run the zone read, but he did run. And he did win. A lot.
The two-time Super Bowl champion, who capped his sensational Denver Broncos career by winning MVP honors at Super Bowl XXXIII before riding off into the sunset, is second all-time in career rushes by a quarterback, one tote behind former Phily QB Randall Cunningham. He also threw a ball so hard that his receivers had a name for the little indention the tip of the football made on their bodies when it hit them — The Elway Cross — and was as competitive a player as the NFL has ever seen. Remember his helicopter run and dive that set up a crucial touchdown in Super Bowl XXXII?
For a while, before Brett Favre wound up passing him, Elway owned the top spot in the one category that should be listed first on the list of most important statistics for any player — career victories. And if I'm starting a team, I'm picking a guy who knew how to win and did anything and everything within his power to make it happen.
The ultra-athletic Elway, who twice was drafted in the Major League Baseball draft — first by Kansas City in the 18th round out of high school in 1979 and then again by the New York Yankees in the second round in 1981 — led the Broncos to five Super Bowl berths, two Super Bowl victories (back-to-back, no less) and belongs in every conversation ever had about the greatest quarterback to play the game.
As for my opponent and boss, this is probably the right time to point out that he went 4-1 in the office's NFL picks contest last week and doesn't follow the NFL a lick. He could be tough to catch in the pro picks, but since he does follow college football closely, I'm not too worried about keeping my early lead here.
Rice 31, Kansas 24
Oklahoma 35, Tulsa 10
West Virginia 49, Georgia State 7
Iowa 28, Iowa State 21
Kansas State 42, UMass 7
Oklahoma State 55, Lamar 10
Texas 35, Ole Miss 21
Texas A&M 35, Alabama 31
Nebraska 35, UCLA 31
Notre Dame 35, Purdue 17
Answer: Jim Brown. Normally, I would say a quarterback, but there was nothing normal about Jim Brown, No. 32 for the Cleveland Browns. Retired Lawrence Journal-World editor and columnist Bill Mayer likes Jackie Robinson for his pick as the greatest athlete of all-time and there is a lot to like about that selection, but my vote goes to Brown.
The greatest football player of all-time, Brown also was inducted into the College Lacrosse Hall of Fame, located on the campus of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He was a first-team All-American as a senior and ranked second in the nation in scoring. Many are aware of that, but the amazing thing about Brown's athletic career is how few know of his basketball prowess. Brown led the Syracuse University basketball team in scoring one season.
Brown led the NFL in rushing eight times in nine seasons, averaged more than 100 rushing yards per game and more than five yards per carry. Brown never missed a game because of injury. He was bigger, stronger, faster and had better vision than any other running back in the league. He demoralized opponents in a way no football player had before him or has after him.
I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Matt, on your strong Week 1 performance. For a guy who has to shave three times a day — your 5 o'clock shadow, I'm guessing, arrives at about 11 a.m. — you do a terrific job of keeping up on college football.

That professor must have a Phd. in jackass, bullying and being a total nazi. That is why I love it!
The whole mix of the professor with "throat cancer", the sound effects and just being a total jerk, makes it all entertaining.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This not only made me smile, but made me laugh as well. (Which is a pretty hard feat.) I would love to offer you constructive criticism, but after listening to this, I have nothing to offer. Your voice is great, the script is brilliant, the personality befits the character (it's hilarious), the background sounds and voices are good- as is the quality.
I look forward to your future work, Cap'n! Arr. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
...Grumpy Old Man or an Evil Genius....?
Very well done, hehe.
It's perhaps the one entry that's actually made me laugh aloud, hehe. You have a sound grasp on your character, the selected dialogue was well performed, hilariously scripted, and downright sadistic...and I lllllloved it. Your delivery was both well toned and paced very nicely, particularly:
"I'm FAILING you ALL! It's an important lesson best learned in youth....you're welcome."
A very well made entry for the NGF11 contest. Best of luck, and great work.
mucho thanks :)

A great camping spot for military eligible folks! There's a stocked fishing lake a short walk away too. I didn't see any boats or a boat ramp. As others mentioned, wifi & phone service are real spotty. We mostly had 1 bar or no service with ATT and Verizon was about 2 bars at best. Many of the 50Amp sites are good for satellite but most of the 30Amp sites are deep in the trees. You can only reserve the 30Amp W/E only sites but you can take a 50Amp full hookup if available when you get there. They still require you to give them your Social Security number when checking in which really irritates me. The Army is so slow moving into the 21st century! We had a long pull thru full hookup which was nicely spaced from our neighbors and easy in/out. Three sites were fully paved and the rest are gravel. Most sites are big rig suitable too. Trees needed trimming going into the 30Amp W/E area but those sites would take any size rig too. There's a camp host for after hours support. - Danno

We stayed here six nights and will stay here again. Only down side (some will say up side) is there is no cell service at all and the internet service is very iffy and slow when it does work. Were able to get a few cable channels; don't know about sat TV. The laundry and restroom/shower facilities were the best we have seen anywhere. The sites are large and clean. There is a creek and a lake on site and fishing available if you have a permit. Staff was very helpful. Campground is not on Ft Knox but is military only. About six miles to the Fort and 20 to Elizabethtown. We also went to Bardstown and Glendale; scenic areas especially with the fall colors. There are also a number of distilleries within reasonable driving distance. Would be a 10+ if our phones worked. - Delbert
Oct 2014 - $17.00
This is a wonderful campground. Most of the spaces here are gravel but there are a few cement pad spots also. All very level. Staff and camp hosts very friendly and helpful. There is a small lake at the back of the park for fishing. No swimming is allowed in the lake. Easy access into the park and big rig friendly. The restrooms and laundry room are modern and very, very clean. There is also a room in the facility for meetings, dining, etc. that has a refrigerator, TV and book/movie exchange. I would definitely stay here again. - Bubzug

This park is not on the Fort Knox military post, but it isn't far away. This was my second stay at this CG. The last was a few years ago. Wi-Fi still iffy depending on how far from the office and how many RVs are between you and there. You can sit in the rec building and use a laptop if you need strong Wi-Fi. Cell service is also sketchy. I had to go outside the RV to get one bar. Utilities were good. There is a mixture of concrete and gravel sites. Most are level. Not all of them will allow for satellite reception due to trees. The rec building is nice, is in the middle of the park, and contains laundry, satellite TV, and a book/movie sharing library. I think laundry was a buck per load. There is a stocked lake next to the park. The staff was friendly and helpful. Only the W/E sites are reservable. They offer a discount for Golden Age/Access card holders which I used. - RLM

Great place to relax. VERY quiet, no planes, trains, or highways. Wooded sites with lots of shade, lots of pine needles on your rig too. Trees can make maneuvering a little tricky. The fishing in Otter Creek is great. Lots of trout! Excellent swimming hole too! Shower and toilets were very old with lots of bugs and spiders. Would rate higher, but no site sewer hookups. Had to move rig to dump site every few days. Electric was solid till weather turned bad, then started having brown-outs. Staff were very friendly. Golf carts are allowed. Gravel sites are fairly level, but roads need repaving. This campground was built long before the big Class A motorhomes. Still, my wife, kids, and I can't wait to go back! Great value for your dollar. - mjngerti

We are glad Otter Creek has now re-opened several sections for camping. Both RV and tent camping sites are well groomed and the on-site hosts are friendly and helpful. Electric sites are mostly located in shady, wooded areas. This is a good hiking area--trails thread along the creek and beside the Ohio River. Horse and biking trails are also available. A well-provisioned YMCA camp is located within the park. Our only complaint is about the entrance gate - the newly rebuilt entrance has a very narrow curbed lane that's such a tight fit we weren't sure our medium-size RV was going to fit through. No reason at all to build these curbs so close together! Nearby to Louisville and easy to get to via Route 31. - Flying Mantis

This park is a local gem to the Louisville area. It has been closed for several years due to budget cuts by the City of Louisville but reopened under the management of Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife sometime last year. I've been camping in this park for over 25 years and this was my first visit back in probably 10. Amazingly, it looks almost exactly the same as when I left. The management has been putting a lot of work into this campground. First, I noticed that all of the electric sites now have a dual 50/30 amp pedestal. Many of the water hookups have been replaced. I did not get a count of sites as many of the previous water/electric sites were supposedly abandoned due to deterioration of the electrical service. In reality, it wasn't that good when I was there 10 years ago. However, they are putting in new water in that area and they may install new electric, I did not get to talk with anyone in charge. There is some construction of concrete pads of some sort going on and again, I'm not sure what that's all about. The beauty of this park is that it is very quiet and rustic. Many large trees and lots of shade. There are two separate pavilions. One has camping around it, so that would be great for a family get-together. Some sites are not very level, but most are no problem. There are three "buddy" sites that are off by themselves that would be great for a few friends camping together. They have electric and water hookups. There are no sewer sites, although there is a dual dump station that is easy to access. Lots of paved roads are great for bike riding and golf carts are allowed. The park is convenient to Brandenburg, KY which is a few miles down the road for shopping and a stones throw from Fort Knox, Radcliff and Elizabethtown. Louisville is about 20 miles away. The reason for my 6 rating is the park still needs some work. There are a LOT of trees and if you have a big rig it takes some care navigating around the park. There are several trees right beside the road that would be easy to clip if you're not careful. Also, some sites would be impossible to access with a larger rig. We have a 40' motorhome and it was slow going all the way into the park. Right at the entrance to the park is a guard shack with electric gates. The gates are very narrow. I cleared them with about a foot on each side to spare. Also, the road coming into the campground has many overhanging limbs. If you stay to the center of the road you'll be fine, but if you meet up with another rig exiting, someone better stop. Also, we were allowed to do a late checkout at 5:00 p.m. which was a nice bonus. I have lots of memories camping at this park with my children over the years in a multitude of different camping rigs. I was happy to see the park back and nearly as I remembered it from years ago. It's a nice place. - sixtires58

This lovely park is a hidden jewel convenient to Ft Bragg. Sites are shaded with picnic tables available. The bathroom facilities are clean and new. The park is near a stream and is part of a public recreation complex that hosts baseball, soccer and other community events. There are active railroad tracks bordering the site and trains do roll through at night with horn but it didn't bother us. You pick your site and pay on the honor system at the city hall around the corner from the campground. The city hall has a huge parking lot. While we were here there was a family reunion and they had 40' and 35' Class A rigs that fit fine. There are walking trails and you are close to a gas station and the downtown if you need to walk to get some supplies. A WalMart is 10 minutes away. - BarbaraJohnson

After reading the reviews for this park, I decided to update it. I have been at this park for a bit over two months. When I pulled in, I was a bit worried about it. It is a spot in a trailer park set aside for RVs. There were 4 other campers in the area when I pulled in. It is obvious that most of the people in the campground are there for what I call long term (over 2 months). After talking to the staff, all of my worries went away. They are very helpful and courteous. I have not experienced a problem in the electric, water or sewer. There was an evening that I came back and there was a crew working on the water pipes, I asked how long it would take, and they told me that they should be done in an hour or so. (Half an hour later I had water). There is no propane service on the campground: less than two miles north on US 31W there is a propane filling station. There is a grocery store within walking distance (less than half a mile), though I would recommend on driving to it, since it is a highway. There are probably nicer-looking RV Parks within an hour that offer more services/amenities, but there are none that are closer to historic FT Knox than this one. This one is also right off of US 31W, which makes it easy access to fellow travelers, and to folks working in the area for a short amount of time. I am leaving the area in a couple of weeks and look forward to returning to this campground when I come back. - jw117

This park has "slum" written all over it. There were numerous trailer homes parked in the RV area - including some that were rusting pretty bad. We washed a load of clothes in our rig and the sewer backed up. - 2Bucks

This is a older Mobile Home park with about 6 full hookup sites. There are a few more sites but they don't have hookups. The RV section is separate from the mobile homes. Sites are not numbered and it was hard to find the water and electric hookups. Some sites need an extension for the electric cord. There are no restrooms/showers. There is a laundry that is very inexpensive. Grass hadn't been mowed for some time. Manager advised that they were going to fix up the RV section. It's very obvious that this is not really an RV Park! They offer $15 a night to Passport and Escapee members. All others are charged $30. I would never consider paying $30 for this park. $15 was actually too much for this one. - Montana RVer

Agree with others, good for a few nights stay or if you want to visit nearby distilleries or Louisville. The office is only staffed in the afternoon, so if you try to call as we did you may get an answering machine. Someone eventually called back. We were told that if we arrived when no one is in the office to just pick a site in the front, which is what we did. The sites are nice and level, big rig friendly, pull-thru and gravel. They are pretty close together and there is no picnic table but we had full hook-ups. The wifi worked ok. There is no pool, dog run, or store. Laundry is $2.50/washer. Nearby is a big weekend flea market, grocery. Met our needs. - mohocamper

Near the freeway so lots of noise and on the weekend the people going to flea market going roaring down the road that is also the entrance to RV park. Restrooms are very clean but no privacy for showers for the modest among us. We stayed here 7 nights because it is very accessible to freeways and Louisville. - Mrs.Picky

We overnighted here and found it to be just what we need for that stay: close to the highway, clean and uncluttered, easy to navigate, level and dry, and affordable. The office manager literally jogged out to meet us, pointed us to an open pull-thru site, invited us to get set up and then come back to register/pay. Now, it's not the sort of place I'd want to hang out for a vacation (it's a bit sparse) and they do have a number of signs regarding dogs that might make dog owners feel picked on (we're not dog owners, so no worry for us). We would stay here again for sure. - User3490

This is a retired KOA with a Good Sam affiliation. With some TLC this park could be a KOA gem.
There are a few seasonal campers and for the most part they are respectable in their set ups. Lots of short term folks during our 3 day stay.
Buildings structures for facility buildings and pool were really gave a shabby appearance.
We had a problem with our electric. Had to move twice. Once for over night to a 30 amp site and then to a nice back in 50 Amp site.
Good water and sewer. Typical marginal wifi.
Quiet and convenient to area activities. Very easy access. Among the best for interstate road convenience. - wdw

Perfect overnight stay. Our site #5 was a little close to our neighbor but we really have no complaints for the price and full hook ups. Nice pool for the kids. I would stay again if traveling through. No need to unhook the toad if you don't need to. - pacevette
Dec 2015 - $25.00
Easy access campground from I65 that was perfect for an overnight stop. This is a former KOA campground with gravel roads and site pads. Our pull thru site was reasonably level, sloping slightly down from front to back, and clean. 50A power was stable around 118v. Water pressure was decent at around 45psi. We were warmly greeted and the check-in process was smooth. Aesthetically the park is rather plain but it served our purpose and we would stop again. - Born2Roam

Very nice KOA. Can be pricey if you stay in a premium site which we did but with the patio, wrought iron table and chairs, and glider, its pretty neat. Nice Pool area. Plenty of things for kids. Easy drive into Louisville to visit Churchill Downs. - Aldeaux

We have stayed here many times before. They have recently raised the nightly rate. ($12 more for pull-thru vs back-in) There have been improvements made to the office but our site was as far away from the office/restrooms as possible even when asking for close to office or bath house. Many campers were in this far-away area, I assume since the rate is less. Site was fairly level. Other than the entry grass area, sites were weeds. Very disappointed with this visit. Close to friends we were visiting so will probably stay here again. - Ms Winnie

This KOA is good for an overnight stay but not much beyond that. Dirt roads, unlevel, gravel sites are the norm. The road going to the park south of Louisville is always very busy. - hoppers4

The campground is mainly occupied by long term stays. We were there for 3 days and no one ever checked on us. We were the only ones in our area; we did ask to move due to the space we were originally asked to go in was not big enough for our rig. The place is run down, not well kept, trash laying around, old run down campers sitting with weeds grown up all around them, grass is long and a lot of weeds. We counted 6 copperhead snakes, however, the campground does sit on Indian Creek. There was a sign in the not so clean bath house, which consisted of a toilet, sink and shower, that stated to clean it up or lose privileges to it. We did not use the bath house. It looks like at one time it may have been a nice place; It's a shame. The Good Sam discount was only $1/day. Most of the shops in the town were closed by 4:30 on Saturday and not open at all on Sunday. Did I expect more for $50/day? Yes, I guess I did because I have received better for the same price and less. There is obviously no pride in the ownership/management of this campground :( We will not go back and not recommend it. - Snoopzq

A small run-down park. The cost was $40. plus $5. for each dog. I have never paid for my dogs anywhere else we've stayed. There is no place to even walk them. Would not stay here again. - Joe Bounder
Aug 2012 - $33.00
Friendly staff, helpful, small sites, dated facilities, easy access. Parked on the site next to us was an empty 5th wheel (I think it was a rental). What may be classified as a pull through, exited directly to the street. Overpriced for the facility. - User2314

This was a simple design, since the original Strike Gundam was simple aswell (aside the Striker Packs), used some fanart mechs, i think one of them was called Magic Gundam (By Jilpoong17).
Well this strike gundam looks like heavy version of the strike.Also those feet look like the Zeta Gundam's or the ZZ Gundam.Did you use any other Gundam series?
isnt that shield from the Five Star Stories mecha design? looks familiar xD
wow, that's quite drastic change

MIAMI (AP) -- Katrina hit the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane, not a Category 4 as first thought, and New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain likely were spared from the storm's strongest winds, the National Hurricane Center said Tuesday.
New Orleans' storm levees were generally believed to be able to protect the city from the flooding of a Category 3 storm. But portions of the levee system were either topped or failed in the storm, leaving up to 80 percent of the city under water.
Katrina made landfall Aug. 29 with top sustained wind of about 125 mph, not the 140 mph that was calculated at that time, the hurricane center said in its final report on the costliest U.S. hurricane of all time.
New Orleans was also on the west side of the storm, which normally has weaker winds. Although an accurate reading of the highest winds in the New Orleans area were made difficult by the failure of measuring stations, the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in eastern New Orleans measured a sustained wind of only about 95 mph, the report said.
Jim Taylor, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said the levee system that protects New Orleans was built before the creation of the Saffir-Simpson scale of classifying hurricanes, so different parts of the system protect against varying levels of wind speed, storm surge and barometric pressure.
Generally, officials said the levees would protect against a fast-moving Category 3. Katrina was generally a slow-moving storm, Taylor said.
An investigation into why the system failed is under way. Taylor said the change in category won't affect the fixes being made now or plans for future changes, which are still be debated.
But Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat, said: "This news further highlights the need for a full federal commitment to build the highest level of protection through levees and coastal restoration for New Orleans, South Louisiana and the Gulf Coast."
Category 3 ranges from 111 mph to 130 mph, so Katrina was on the higher edge of that ranking. Category 4 runs from 131 mph to 155 mph. Katrina was a top-scale Category 5 with 175-mph winds while in the Gulf of Mexico.
The revision of its strength came after forecasters studied data from devices that were dropped into Katrina from hurricane hunter aircraft, hurricane specialist Richard Knabb and forecasters Jamie Rhome and Daniel Brown said in the report.
The change also came from reviewing readings from a device called a stepped frequency microwave radiometer, which measures wind speed by examining how sea foam is blown. Radar images taken by hurricane hunter aircraft also were used.
Accurate measurements of the height of Katrina's storm surge were also difficult because of instrument failures, the report said. An unofficial observation of a 27-foot storm surge in Hancock, Miss., was included in the report.
Katrina also showed that wind speed and minimum central pressure are not related on a one-to-one basis. A hurricane's winds are blown because higher-pressure air rushes toward the lower-pressure eye to equalize the difference. Typically, the lower the pressure, the faster the air speeds in.
Because the pressure around each storm is different, lower pressure doesn't always correspond to a specific wind speed. With Katrina's pressure of 920 millibars at landfall, the storm would have been thought to be stronger. But Katrina's pressure field was spread over a much larger area than normal, so the pressure around it wasn't as high.
Katrina killed more than 1,300 people in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and Alabama. It was expected to cost insurers at least $34.4 billion in claims.
Associated Press writer Michelle Roberts in New Orleans contributed to this report.

Warning: This article contains potential spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy and other Marvel films.
Thanos isn't known for playing well with others, so it's a bit surprising to hear of him popping up in so many movies. His Infinity Gauntlet appeared on Asgard in 2011's Thor, long before fans got their first glance of the Mad Titan at the very end of 2012's The Avengers. With the recently announced casting of James Brolin as Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, speculation about the extent of his role in the August-premiering film, and beyond, has run rampant.
According to Vulture, Thanos appears throughout Guardians of the Galaxy, primarily as a hologram, but also shares a scene with Lee Pace's Ronan the Accuser and Karen Gillan's Nebula. That matches what director James Gunn said last year about the working relationship between Thanos and Ronan. "Thanos is a character in our movie," he said. "He works with Ronan. In my movie Ronan works for Thanos, and Ronan is the main bad guy in our film."
Whenever Thanos does step out of the shadows — likely in the third Avengers film — you can bet he's on the hunt for the Infinity Gems, powerful sentient stones representing Mind, Reality, Time, Space, Soul and Power. Benicio del Toro's Collector popped up at the end of Thor: The Dark World to snag Aether, noting, "One down, five to go." It wouldn't be ridiculous to guess that Ronan and Nebula are on the hunt for more of the gems in Guardians of the Galaxy, meaning Thanos' specter hangs over the film .
Opening Aug. 1, Guardians of the Galaxy also stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Rooker, Benicio Del Toro, Glenn Close and John C. Reilly
my Aunty
Allison recently got a nice 6 month old Jaguar by working from a macbook.this website Cashduties.COM
James Brolin?
Well, James Brolin as Thanos isn't so bad since as I understand it, he'll just be providing the voice of the Mad God. I think it could work with his deep voice.
I'm more curious to see how Thanos will be worked into "Age of Ultron" (since he's listed w/ Brolin in the cast). Could one of the Infinity Gems (perhaps the Mind gems) be partly responsible for bringing Ultron to life? Guess time will tell…

Entries in timeline (223)
16 Infographic Resumes, A Visual Trend
Michael Anderson's 2008 concept on an infographic resume (above) is probably the most well known. It's been tweeted, dugg, reddit-ed and featured on FastCompany.com.
I decided to update my résumé with a different perspective on the typical time-line theme. This is just concept art, as there are almost no real metrics represented except for time. There is no energy expenditure unit of measure, nor tics to delineate percentage or otherwise.
I do agree it's more of an overview and less of a project-experience-oriented resume, but I've been thinking a lot about (and looking at) resumes lately, and I feel like what you really need to do is grasp someone's attention first. This is whyhttp://www.percious.com is listed at the top, and that's about all listed (no address, phone number, etc.) The other thing I was thinking about doing was to add an image map with links to provide more information about the things I have worked on.
Also using the subway map metaphor, Kevin Wang plots out his activities during his school years.
Curriculum Vitae, by Uito2 in 2007, shows his experience level in different software packages as progress bars.
Chester, Lau Cheuk Hang, does a great job utilizing a timeline at the top of his resume with spanning arcs to highlight time spent in different activities.
Greg Dizzia also creates a Curriculum Vitae showing vertical bars spanning a timeline for each company, and adds an additional element of icons to represent different experiences during each project.
This lists my history in the design world (some lesser clients have been left out) - Designed using univers exclusively. This is an appendage to a traditional resume, to be included as a forward page in my portfolio.
Jonathan Kaczynski, also tries a subway map style using the different lines as categories instead of attempting a timeline. I actually think this approach works a little bit better, the timeline versions appear difficult to translate into a subway map.
I am currently in the process of remaking my portfolio. It will have the appearance of a mass transit system's website. This is the resumé that I'm working on to go along with the portfolio. It still needs a bit of clean-up and and logo needs some work.
Justin Evilsizor's version incorporates a timeline, a level-of-skill chart and I personally love the addition of the Meyer's-Briggs Type Indicator.
Arnaud Velten, Cartographer of Complexity, created this isometric resume. At its heart is a timeline, but he has added an incredible amount of detail to each of his skills. Seems like too much detail for me, but that may be what he wants to convey.
Maybe not technically a resume, Ritwik Dey's Life Map is an impressive timeline of his education and activities.
This information design piece maps out my interests between ages 6 and 24 and the context in which they were born and nurtured. It also brings to surface how these interests influenced and were in turn influenced by milestones in my personal journey.
Stephen Gates' resume is very clean a take on the timeline.
Why did no one try something new? Why wasn't there one designer who took on their resume as design challenge to do something visual and different? I also realized that I was just as guilty as everyone else so I set out to design something different. So after some work in my spare time I have the design shown above (click on it to see it full sized). It is just a start and it feels like it is heading in an interesting direction but let me know what you think.
Bob van Vliet also created a very clean timeline resume.
I thought I'd try something different from the standard A4 with a dull summary of positions. Four timelines represent the most important parts of my life so far: Work, Education, Activism and Fun. The years get wider towards the present as those say more about who I am now than when I just started university.
Christopher Brown's colorful infographic timeline inspired by Michael Anderson's concept.
Jordan Carroll's resume includes a few different elements. Timeline, map and charts combine into one overall resume.
Another colorful timeline resume, this one by Pruek Wiyaporn, also appears inspired by Michael Anderson's concept.
Jesse Burton also has a very nice stylized timeline resume.
Which ones do you like? Have I missed any other good ones out there?
Thanks to links found on VisualThinkMap, FastCompany, Patrick Debois
EDIT: Here are a few more that I missed when I originally wrote the post:
Mike Wirth is a freelance infographic designer. His colorful timeline has experiences above the X-axis, education is below and his geographic locations are the shaded bars in the background. When he learned specific software packages is also identified in the colored area, which shows how long he has been using the different software packages.
Gabriele Bozzi designed this resume concept that focuses totally on skills and experience. Education is identified in the small bubbles, and the skills are connected to specific examples of her experience. She is working on a separate timeline graphic.
There are so many new examples of visual infographic resumes, I have started a dedicated board on Pinterest to share all of the cool designs I come across: http://pinterest.com/rtkrum/infographic-visual-resumes/
Population of the Dead - infographic
Jon Gosier, from Appfrica.com, created this infographic, Population of the Dead, to help visualize the question "How many people have ever lived?" Across the top is also a timeline of births, that helps demonstrate how quickly the population has accelerated in the last few hundred years.
Text from the image:
The numbers are highly speculative but are as accurate as modern science allows. It's widely accepted that prior to 2002 there had been somewhere between 106 and 140 billion homo sapiens born to the world. The graphic below uses the conservative number (106 bn) as the basis for a concentric circle graph. The red dot in the center is scaled to represent how many people are currently living (red) versus the dead (white). The vertical line represents time. The spectral graph shows the population 'benchmarks' that were used to estimate the population over time. Adding up the population numbers gets you to 106 billion. The two spheres are then used to compare against other numbers.

The Holiday Economy
Our Present Economy is a look at holiday spending from 1997-2007 with some specifics about 2007. It doesn't say explicitly, but I believe this is for the U.S. only. From GOOD Magazine, this Good Sheet was available at Starbucks during the holiday season in 2008.
I wonder how 2009 compares?
The Simpsons 20th: Comedy [Family] Tree
The Simpsons celebrate their 20th anniversary this week on Thursday, and CNN Entertainment published this chart "The Simpsons Comedy Tree" on Monday. A combination Nightingale Rose Graph (also called a polar area diagram), family tree and timeline, this simple chart connects the influences that impacted Matt Groening and the creators of the Simpsons as well as the shows that came after.
"The Simpsons" stands on the comedic shoulders of many that came before -- and has influenced countless works that have arrived since. Here are just a few of the roots of the "Simpsons" comedy tree and the branches of those it gave life to. (The following, illustrated by the doughnut at the top of the story, is by no means complete, and each member has its own, sometimes overlapping influences.)
Thanks to Tony Hendra's "Going Too Far" for inspiration and cartoonist Art Spiegelman for having his fingerprints all over the place.The article also includes descriptions of the actual influence for each of these shows.
Thanks for the link Matt!
For those Simpsons fans of you, here is also the poster created exclusively for Entertainment Weekly celebrating the release of the 20th season DVD set on Jan 12. Dude, make sure to go look at the large, scrollable version.

A Visual History of the Supreme Court - New Infographic Poster!
Today, I want to share the launch of Timeplots.com. A new infographic site focused on designing visual timelines by Nathaniel Pearlman and Frank Hamilton. The Timeplots.com site launched today highlighting their first project; a poster called "A Visual History of the Supreme Court of the United States".
This large-scale (48″x32″) print displays the full sweep of American federal judicial history from 1789 to 2009. It combines biographical information on every Supreme Court justice with a visualization of the influence of U.S. presidents and their political parties on the Court over time, and includes vote counts and summaries of landmark cases.
Months of work went into researching the history of the Supreme Court, and that effort really shows through in the level of detail in this poster.
It's a good thing they offer this as a large format poster, because the detail draws you closer to discover the events and landmark decisions that are the colorful history of the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States).
I love that even on their About page, they created small, infographic timelines as a visual of their individual experiences and career histories. Here's Nathaniel's:
Timeplots has also started a new service, Timeplots on Demand:
Timeplots' dedicated staff is ready to work directly with you to honor your own organization—your company, school, nonprofit, team, church, or family—with a custom Timeplot of your institution's history. Let us help you collect data, create memorable images, and visualize the developments of your institution.
Congratulations to both Nathaniel and Frank!
Ebay Visualizes Black Friday 2009 - Interactive infographic map
From ebay, a map of the transaction activity on Black Friday 2009 (the shopping day after Thanksgiving). 1 million transaction are mapped in the U.S. over the course of the day!
Activity Level Indicator The color of the point on the map indicates the number of transactions that occurred in the corresponding area.
Data Execution This transaction map was created as a study of the extensive activity that occurs in the eBay Marketplace on the biggest offline shopping day of the year. It is a visualization of all U.S.-based buyer and seller transactions on eBay on Black Friday, November 27, 2009 (12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM EST). Although eBay is an international marketplace, this map is focused on U.S. data, as Black Friday is the traditional beginning of the holiday shopping season for the U.S.It's an interactive, animated timeline, so you can watch the transactions grow throughout the day and zoom in to specific areas of the country by clicking on the map. It's a flash animation, but there's a WMV movie file available for download too.
They also did a map of the even bigger 1.4 million transactions on Cyber Monday 2009.

Probes in the Universe - cool interactive infographic
Space Probes is a very well-done interactive graphic about all of the space probes we have launched, visually placing the probes in orbit around the object they are observing. You can move around the 3-D space with the keyboard controls, change the date range with the sliders on the bottom or go directly to a particular probe from the list on the right that is group by planet or object they are around. When you mouse-over a particular probe you get more details and an image.
The article and the infographic are in Portuguese from Brazil, so I took the liberty of using the Google Translator for a little help.
The infographic "Space Probes" Super, produced by the team of Internet Editora Abril Jovem, took the silver medal in the category Online Malofiej, top prize in the world of computer graphics.Thanks to Daniel for the link and a little more information:
It won Malofiej's silver medal (first place, no gold medal) this year.
It's an infographic about all space probes launched until the date it was published (except Earth probes, which are too many). The info has information about each probe, including the organization(s) that sent it, the target planet(s) (or moons, asteroids, comets and the sun), launch date and mission details, as well as pictures for most of them. User can navigate through our Solar System using the mouse and/or keyboard. It's also possible to know the details of Mars Science Laboratory, the next NASA probe to visit the red planet. The info is in Portuguese, but anyone can understand it's features and learn a little bit about space exploration so far.

PureWood decking
Here's a challenge: build a long-lasting deck using only wood—no preservatives, no metals, no additives of any kind. That eliminates most decking, but not PureWood's yellow pine. Via a method perfected in Finland and used in Europe more than ten years, PureWood takes everyday yellow pine and kiln—dries it at temperatures up to 482 degrees, making the wood unpalatable to termites, inhospitable to mildew, and exceptionally stable.

Oh yeah, "Pride"
A propos of Pride, I celebrated the way I always do, the way I feel is only appropriate when you're straight and down with the struggle, as it were: by abdicating. I stayed indoors for most of the day (uh, watching bootleg DVDs of The L Word), thus ensuring that when I invariably see all the nice gays in the days that follow the event, I won't have to be thinking of the time I saw them wearing Coors Light Uncle Sam hats and rainbow-colored Mardi Gras beads from Car Toys or whatever while stumbling drunkenly down the same street they march down every day to get coffee. If you love someone, you hardly want to be the one to remind them of how embarrassing they become in the unimaginative pursuit of their own liberty.

Eddie Cibrian Opens Up An Instagram Account… But Is It Really Him? (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
When I first found out that actor Eddie Cibrian opened up his Instagram account, I thought it was odd because he doesn't seem like the type to get involved in the social media scene. In fact, he has a Twitter account that he almost never uses and has never really been seen carrying around a camera phone with him.
It's not that I'm saying that this isn't Eddie's account (because it is), but I think it might just be administered by someone else (and I'll let you use your imagination with that one). The good thing about Eddie having his own account is that we get to see more pics of his adorable kids, Mason and Jake, who are looking more and more like their mom, Brandi Glanville, everyday.
Plus — and I hate admitting this — Eddie is kind of hot, too. It's those dimples and good Cuban looks. Ok, I'm done now!
Check out our photos of Eddie and his boys below and let us know what you think!
Eddie and his boys 1 of 5No matter what anyone says about the gossip that surrounds Eddie, his ex-wife, and his current wife, he's got two very good looking boys by his side!

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Packing for a Healthy Vacation
No matter where you're traveling, one thing should go with you, stay with you, and come home with you: your health.
While travel, whether domestic or foreign, broadens one's mental horizons and refreshes a zest for life, it is also fraught with chances for illness and injury. So the best advice is the Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared. Follow these four steps.

Understanding Frostbite -- Diagnosis and Treatment
Frostbite is initially diagnosed based on symptoms and a physical exam. Various imaging techniques may be used to determine the severity of tissue damage three to five days after re-warming. After one to three weeks, imaging may also be used to help evaluate the condition of any potentially damaged blood vessels and to identify severely frostbitten areas that may need to be amputated.
Read the Understanding Frostbite -- Diagnosis and Treatment article > >
Step 1: Plan Ahead for Health
Most of us have busy lives. We all have a lot to do before we can leave for vacation. But many of us don't do these things until the last minute. The resulting frenzy of activity leaves us exhausted - just when we'll be needing our physical and emotional strength for travel.
If this sounds like you, try something new this vacation. Using a calendar for the month before you leave, plan just one task for every day. Sure, there will be some last-minute details, but you'll have so much more done.
Step 2: Check Your Prescriptions
If you need any kind of prescription medicine, either on a daily or as-needed basis, make sure you've got enough to last the length of your trip. Make a list of all of these medicines and take it with you in case your luggage gets lost. Keep this list separate from the medicines themselves, in case your luggage is lost or stolen.
If you're traveling to another country, you'll want to take extra precautions:
- Carry prescription medicines in their original, labeled bottles.
- Your medicine list should include the generic name of each drug. That's because some drugs have different brand names in other countries. (All drugs, even those not sold over the counter, have generic names. If you don't know the generic names of your medicines, ask your pharmacist.)
- The U.S. State Department advises travelers to check with the foreign embassy of the country they are visiting to make sure any required medications they carry are not considered to be illegal narcotics.
- If you have pre-existing medical problems, it's wise to carry a letter from your doctor describing the condition and any medicines used to treat it.

Thursday night was suppose to be about two great rivals renewing acquaintances when the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins faced off against each other for the fifth time this season.
Instead, it turned into another episode of the Canadiens ongoing soap opera thanks to the way general manager Pierre Gauthier handled the Michael Cammalleri trade.
Gauthier decided it would be a wise idea to finalize a trade and inform Cammalleri of the deal by pulling him off the ice in the middle of the game and sending him to a hotel room for further instructions.
Who does that?
Pierre Gauthier, the general manager of Montreal Canadiens. That's who.
After all, they wouldn't be the Canadiens if they did things like everybody else. It has to be a spectacle.
If the 30 NHL teams were all students in high school, the Canadiens would be considered the class drama queen.
First, Gauthier fires his assistant coach just hours before a game. Then, he does the same thing to his head coach.
To add more drama to the situation, he hires a coach that doesn't speak French and then throws him to the Quebec nationalist wolves by agreeing with their assessment that he should speak French.
When you take into account how Gauthier wilted under pressure from the French nationalists so quickly when it came to his new coach, along with all of his other knee-jerk decisions, should we really be surprised that he dealt arguably his best offensive player based on one comment?
Not only was it one comment, it was a refreshingly honest comment that really shouldn't come as a surprise since the Habs were 3-8 in their last 11 games.
I can't accept that we will display a losing attitude as we're doing this year. We prepare for our games like losers. We play like losers. So it's no wonder why we lose.
Fair enough. Cammalleri doesn't like losing and he was aggravated with his team's lack of preparation. Perhaps he shouldn't have aired his grievances publicly, but the statement itself was nothing more than the frustration of a passionate athlete.
Well, apparently that was enough for Gauthier to stop everything and pull him out of game action.
This sounds like a decision based out of sheer panic.
On the bright side, the Canadiens actually got a decent return for a player they dealt on a whim based on the raw emotion of their general manager.
Rene Bourque is a solid talent, albeit an inconsistent one, with good size and a good set of hands. He brings something to the table that the Habs current top-six forward group lacks and that's a net presence.
Combine that with a second-round draft pick and a 19-year-old prospect that has 57 points in just 40 games in the WHL this season in exchange for just a fifth-round pick and a goaltender that will likely never play for them, and it sounds like a fair deal considering the circumstances.
But wait. Apparently this deal had actually been in the works for quite a while before Cammalleri's criticism of the team.
Calgary Flames general manager Jay Feaster revealed this to the media upon the finalization of the trade last night. Gauthier then confirmed this after the Canadiens-Bruins games was finished.
We've been trying for all those weeks to try to get bigger up front. We felt as the season started that was one of the things [we needed]. We have a lot of young players that have joined the team in the last year or so, and then Mr. [Raphael] Diaz this year, that are not very big. We felt that if we want to improve the club, we need to be bigger up front.
Forgive me for being incredulous, but I find it just a little too coincidental that Gauthier had been trying to trade Cammalleri for a month and he just happened to work out a deal the day after his star forward made an eyebrow-raising comment that made newspaper headlines.
However, if you are naive enough to believe that it was just another hockey trade without any ulterior motive, then you have to look at it from a different perspective.
Despite the Canadiens receiving a higher draft pick and a prospect that appears to have a better chance of actually playing for them, the Flames got the best player in this deal by far.
Cammalleri might only have 22 points so far this season, but he is a potential top-line forward with leadership and star qualities. He was a stud in the playoffs during his time in Montreal and he still has the capability of being a 30-goal scorer.
Bourque, on the other hand, might be bigger than Cammalleri, but what good is size without the finish?
Sure, Bourque is capable of putting up 50 or more points in a season, but that's if he is motivated enough to do it, which is a big question mark. He has been incredible inconsistent over the last two seasons for the Flames and even though the change of scenario might give him a boost of energy, how long will that boost last?
At the end of the day, the biggest positive to come out of this bizarre mess for Montreal is that they do get some salary cap relief. Even if Bourque doesn't produce, his $3.33 million cap hit won't be as hard to stomach as Cammalleri's $6 million annual salary was.
So perhaps the silver lining can give Habs fans a small sense of hope for the future, but does the good really make up for bad, as well as the ugly?
After all, whether it was conceived out of panic or not, this trade brought Montreal the lesser of the two NHL players involved. It was also finalized under a bizarre and ugly set of circumstances that made the 2011-12 season for the Canadiens look like a daytime Emmy-winning soap opera yet again.

Bubba Wallace (No. 6 Fastenal Ford Mustang) will make his sixth career NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Iowa Speedway on Saturday night.
Six of Kyle Busch's last seven attempts on flat tracks ended in top-10 finishes. That dates back to last fall's Goody's 500 at Martinsville Speedway when he finished fifth. All but one of his top-10s was in the top five.
Iowa Speedway marks Josh Berry's (No. 88 SunEnergy1 Chevrolet Camaro) fourth career NASCAR XFINITY Series start, and his first of 2016.
Daniel Hemric (No. 19 Blue Gate Bank Ford F-150) claimed a ninth-place finish in one previous NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start at Pocono Raceway (2015).
Justin Allgaier (No. 7 BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet Camaro) has one top-five and six top-10 finishes in nine XFINITY Series starts at Iowa Speedway, most recently placing seventh in the June NXS event at the .875-mile oval.
AJ Allmendinger is a calculated risk at Pocono Raceway. He entered last year's edition of this race with four 30-something results in the five Pocono races that preceded it, but he used his skills honed on road courses and finished seventh. He was not as great a value this spring, but finished 16th—four spots ahead of the midline.
Regan Smith missed three years at Pocono Raceway, but he returned to the track this spring and finished just outside of the midline mark in 22nd.
Jeb Burton will be behind the wheel of the No. 32 at Pocono Raceway. He also ran for this team in the June Axalta We Paint Winners 400 and finished 29th after starting 39th, which added 10 place-differential points to his total.
Matt Kenseth has finished seventh or better in all but one of this year's flat track races. Last year, he recorded top-10s in all but two events on this course type.
Ryan Newman finished 39th and 23rd in last year's pair of Pocono Raceway events. That came on the heels of six straight seasons in which he swept the top 15 at least and two years of consecutive top-10s. He rebounded this spring and finished 12th in the Axalta We Paint Winners 400.

Finding a natural solution
by Mother Earth Living staff
Editors Pick, Laundry Detergent, Natural Laundry Detergent, Method, Biokleen, Eco-Me, Seventh Generation, BerryPlus
Conventional laundry detergents may leave our clothes smelling fresh, but most contain enough toxic chemicals to make an entire household sick. Optical brighteners, synthetic fragrances, chlorine, distillates and other harsh chemicals can all linger in clothes after washing, causing everything from irritation of the eyes, mouth and skin to reproductive effects and cancer development. Manufacturers aren't required to list ingredients on laundry products, and few ingredients used in detergents have even been tested for safety.
Instead of dousing your clothes in a chemical bath next time you do laundry, try one of these five natural laundry detergents, all safe to use in both HE and standard washers, and all tested by Mother Earth Living editors. Free of toxic chemicals, these laundry detergents will leave your clothes naturally clean and fragrant.
Get a load (or 50) of these natural laundry detergents.
Method's ultra-concentrated laundry detergent brings new meaning to the phrase "good things come in small packages." Just 20 fluid ounces of the company's super-concentrated, Cradle-to-Cradle certified formula is good for 50 loads. The pump top means you can easily dispense the required amount without any drips or spills (and did we mention that it's kind of fun to use, too?). And thanks to Method's handy refill pouches, you can keep using that little bottle over and over, cutting back on the amount of waste laundry day generates.
Cost: $15 for 20-ounce bottle (50 loads); $20 for 32-ounce refill pack
For a fresh pile of laundry that you'll want to bury your nose in while folding, try Biokleen's Citrus Laundry Liquid. Extracts of grapefruit seed, orange peel and coconut combine to create a wonderful, long-lasting scent that lingers on clothes after washing—but without the addition of lingering chemicals. Biokleen's laundry liquid is free of phosphates and chlorine and is three times concentrated so you can use less liquid to wash more clothes.
Cost: around $7 for a 32-ounce bottle (64 loads)
Eco-Me's all-natural laundry soap was crafted with the health of both our bodies and the environment in mind. Made with basic ingredients like jojoba, coconut and olive oil soap, this simple laundry soap is free of colorants, dyes, chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrances, sulfates and phosphates for a clean that you can feel good about it. The detergent comes in Eco-Me's signature Sweet Tea scent, but if this Southern smell isn't to your liking, don't worry—it doesn't permeate into the clothing.
Cost: $10 for 32-ounce bottle (64 loads)
Seventh Generation's ultra-concentrated natural laundry detergent is free of optical brighteners, dyes and synthetic fragrances. Instead of the typical plastic jug, its biodegradable formula comes in a compostable bottle made from 100 percent recycled fiber. Couple that with a biodegradable, ultra-concentrated formula—one bottle is good for about 60 loads—and using this natural detergent can help you cut down on your waste stream.
Cost: $15 for 50-ounce bottle (66 loads)
For an all-natural laundry solution, try using soap berries, also called soap nuts. These small berries grow on Sapindus trees and, when mixed with water and shaken, give off a soapy residue that cleans clothes naturally. Soap nuts are available at a range of price points from several suppliers, including Green Virgin Products, Eco Nuts, and NaturOli.
Cost: $3.99-$10.99 for 83-100 loads

"Aperitivo - thanks for the free food!" Top 5 Page for this destination Milan Local Custom Tip by Henrik_rrb
Milan Local Customs: 104 reviews and 92 photos
One very popular thing in the north of Italy is the "aperitivo". Every bar with the smallest part of respect have every day (monday-saturday) an aperitivo.
An aperitivo means a table full of food, pasta, pizza-slices, vegetables, ham, sausages and more and more.
Around 6 pm every day they put out this table for their clients, and all you have to do as a client is to buy a beer or something else to drink. Then you can eat as much as you want of all the food.
It's a really popular thing to do among the milanese people, they finish work, goes out with some friends, have a beer, eat the food and then they go home and are full until dinner late that night.
Important: be sure to don't come to late for the aperitivo, that might mean that the bar is crowded and that the food almost is finished...

Mėnuo Juodaragis Festival - the most prominent independent event of neofolk darkwave culture in Baltics
MĖNUO JUODARAGIS (Black Horned Moon) represents contemporary Baltic and darkwave culture in new light. This is both paying respect to the tradition and concurrently enjoying a new festival of new arts. This also provides the creative forge of Baltic world-view and aesthetics, where old and new, authentic and modem, black and white, meaning and spontaneity merge. This is innovative international cultural event and stormy entertainment arranged in the country that has preserved the pagan Fire of Europe and speaks the most ancient language in the continent.
Restless intuition turns us into seekers. Somewhere here in the flow, in the trees, under the turf, in the dance of the flames, in our genetic succession there is an archetypal key of the Universe whose power was so well known to the European nations. Ethnic tradition here refers neither to outdated illustration hanging in the porch nor drunken tourist stomping with the pint of beer. The glistening weapon of this expedition shall be folklore. It is the irreversible Action Principle preserved for ages, it is the alliance of the Past and the Future revealed in elitist dispersion. MJR summons most advanced artists drawing from the very depth and burning with unique art not meant for the mass consumers.
The flow is generated by plenty old and new music styles ranging from ethno, neo-folk, post-folk, tribal, gothic to ambient, industrial, idm, rock/metal, avant-garde, etc. These are only the tools. They differ but have identical direction, direct or indirect relations with ancestral tradition. Different generations, nations, ideas, genres and styles, but single feeling and one enchanting rhythm of the Earth.
Cold lips of the History can hardly tell us anything new. Scientific terms will scarcely reveal the beauty of the fluttering Mystery. It is unlikely we will find the light of our Ancestors in the insidious labyrinths of spurious chronicles. But we do believe that we can revive the essential fragments of the Great Legend in other ways, much more forcefully, with our Blood and Heart. A great many remarkable values and Tradition keys have sunk into the quagmires of the museum-bred fetishism for ever. The sagas died in oblivion crucified next to mausoleum-type utensils... The truth of our ritual is to revitalise the magical model of Universality HERE and NOW by employing new measures, new post-modern language. We believe it is not merely Fear of losing the identity and becoming a disposable Nothing, or a rudimentary tribute to Nostalgia. Expect a LIVE cosmic move with bright projection into Future.
Please note that the MJR concept does not profess any teaching or philosophical doctrine. It neither has any claims pertaining to cyber authenticity nor strives to modernise or pervert the folklore. We leave the preservation and canonisation of ethno-culture for ardent specialist. Meanwhile, the philosophy of MĖNUO JUODARAGIS is clear and simple. It is the Heartbeat. For time marches on and Baltic grass-snake never devours its tail. For the pagan festival must also include entertainment where with the touch to pulsating Mystery the game turns into ritual and the ritual becomes the game. So we move on in Circle… to the Beginning of the Beginning.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Three Christian schools in the Kansas City area are considering forming a district that could include three high schools.
Officials say the district would allow the schools to make better use of resources and reach more students.
The new district would start with Whitefield Academy in Kansas City, Marantha Academy in Shawnee and Kansas City Christian School in Prairie Village. More than 12 hundred students are enrolled at the three schools, each serving kindergarten through 12th grade.
It would probably be several years before any new buildings open.
The plan requires approval of parents and the school boards of
all three schools.
