Wednesday 27th April 2011
Bolton offers some of my favourite memories following our team, Christopher Wreh's thumping winner on our way to the 1998 double, our two-goal Monday night win just before we achieved the same feat in 2002 and our almost impossible victory when two goals behind and down to ten men all spring to mind.
Unfortunately however, it is a destination that brings back some of our worst thoughts too. Sunday afternoon very much added to that list.
Even ignoring other disappointing results over the course of this season, before we kicked off against Liverpool last weekend we were still in with a chance of winning the title. Whatever our thoughts and opinions, mathematically there can be no other argument.
That chance has all but gone now yet I find myself analysing the last three games and realising that on a different day we definitely could and probably should have won all three.
It is easy for any one of us to state we definitely have something missing and of course the fact that barring a miracle collapse by our nearest rivals we have fallen short of winning the title again suggests this to be the case but for me we are not a million miles away.
Sunday was the icing on not just a frustrating week but a season of equal emotions. It seemed to sum up how things have gone all in the matter of 90 minutes or so.
The first period, despite dominating possession, didn't see many clear-cut openings for either side. Chezz made one fine save late in the half and Cesc thumped a post. Yet we found ourselves going in at half time a goal behind after a totally free header from a set piece.
Justice was done when Chezz saved the ridiculous penalty awarded and soon after our constant probing paid dividends with RVP's finish. Surely there could be only one winner as we poured forward for the rest of the half?
Sami's two great chances not finding the net increased the frustration as time started to run out.
Another free header from a corner late on and somehow we came away with not just two points dropped on this occasion but all three.
I always feel that you can't always score goal after goal when dominating a game. Nobody just lies down and most will fight to get at least a point, that's football. When playing games like this as often as we do however, it is absolutely paramount that we don't concede at the other end. For me this has arguably been our downfall.
In the last seven days we have played three tough games and scored five goals. The fact we have conceded six is probably the perfect summary.
The League table never lies and fortunately our position means we still have everything to play for to make sure we can continue in our quest for Champions League success next season. We must not lose sight of this over our next four games.
It doesn't come much tougher than the first of those four against Man Utd on Sunday.
Come on you reds!

Former Network News Presidents Offer Criticism Following Ailes-Petraeus Revelations
Former NBC News President: "That Just Isn't What A News Guy Does"
Blog ››› ››› JOE STRUPP
Two former network news presidents offered criticism following the revelation that a Fox News contributor had urged Gen. David Petraeus to run for president at the request of Fox News chief Roger Ailes.
"That just isn't what a news guy does," said Michael Gartner, who served as NBC News president from 1988 to 1993. "Twenty years ago it wouldn't have been done. But that was a different era."
The critiques come in response to a December 4 report from The Washington Post's Bob Woodward that Fox News contributor K.T. McFarland, on instructions from Ailes, had urged Petraeus to run for president during a recorded 2011 interview in Afghanistan.
McFarland suggested that Ailes would leave Fox to work on Petraeus' campaign and that News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch might "bankroll" the effort.
During the same interview with Petraeus, McFarland said of Ailes, "he loves you, and everybody at Fox loves you. So what I'm supposed to say directly from him to you, through me, is first of all, is there anything Fox is doing, right or wrong, that you want to tell us to do differently?"
Media critics have nonetheless responded harshly to the McFarland-Petraeus interview, with Dylan Byers at Politico writing that no other major news outlet would tolerate such behavior from their top executive, and Erik Wemple at the Post writing that it indicated "Fox News is corrupt."
David Westin, who served as ABC News president from 1997 to 2010, also offered concern about the exchange to Media Matters.
While Westin said he did not know the details of Ailes' direct involvement, and noted Ailes had told Bob Woodward his comments to MacFarland had been "more of a joke" than a serious request, Westin did offer criticism of such communications between news person and news subject.
"The report had someone from Fox News, now it was a contributor, not on staff, but a contributor, saying things to a subject of news coverage that normally a journalist wouldn't say," Westin said late December 4. "You need to keep some distance from the people you're covering and you don't want to be partial for them or against them either way, so what I read would be something that normally a journalist wouldn't do."
Woodward wrote that Ailes told him he "did indeed ask McFarland to make the pitch to Petraeus." Woodward later quoted Ailes as saying, "I thought the Republican field [in the primaries] needed to be shaken up and Petraeus might be a good candidate."
Westin offered further concern about such a move:
"Clearly, you know this ... you have to keep a certain distance from the people you're covering, whatever personal feelings you might have and the transcript of the [McFarland-Petraeus] recording steps over a line."
Asked if he would have tolerated such a move at ABC News when he was in charge, Westin said he would have to review the specific facts, but stressed, "I'd look into it and figure out what is going on, obviously."
But, he stressed, "The basic principle is that as a journalist you must maintain a certain distance and a certain arms-length relationship with people whom you're covering and that doesn't mean that you don't have personal views, good and bad, about people you cover, you do form views, but you keep those separate and this exchange would violate that. But let's be clear, she was an analyst, a commentator, she was not a reporter. Right?
"But you know this from your background the important thing is to keep that line, when you're covering people you have to do your very best not to have a bias for or against them and certainly not to express a bias for or against them to the people you are covering."
Asked what this does to his image of Fox News and the news channel's overall image in the news industry, Westin stated that while "there's a long and noble tradition of opinion journalism, there's nothing wrong with that," such incidents create a "blurring of the line between what's opinion journalism and what's reporting the facts" that risks creating a "disservice to the public."

I have really been a HK fan, but a few months ago I bought a Walther P88 and like it, but is seems a bit fat on the grip. Great shooter, very accurate.
Driven by something...I had to buy the P88 Compact and that is thinner, and shorter, not by much but enough. Very accurate as well. It is a sharp shooter.
Not a lot of talk on this form on these guns, anybody has them?
I also tried to get an IWB holster by Milt Sparks and they do not have a blank, so I need to send them my pistol to get a holster made.
I am beginning to like my Walthers better than the HKs. YIKES, moving to the dark side.

History repeats itself again, as the Canisius College synchronized swimming team secured its 16th consecutive Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship on Sunday afternoon at the Scheerr Pool on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. The Golden Griffins scored 100 points to finish first overall, sweeping each category at the conference championship.
"I'm very proud of my team. They rose to the occasion and put up their best swims so far this year," said head coach Jill Wright. "We are heading into nationals undefeated and I'm excited to see them dig deep and fight for a top spot."
The Golden Griffins have possessed the ECAC team title every year since 1998. In her seventh season as head coach, Wright has guided the Griffs to a conference title in each of those seasons. A former All-American for the Griffs, she led her team to four team crowns as a four-time champion soloist bringing her career total to 11.
En route to winning the conference crown, Canisius finished at the top of the solo, duet, trio, team, A-figures, B-figures, and C-figures routines. Taking the top-two slots in the A- and C-figures, the Griffs swept the first four places of the B-figures.
In the team portion of the championship, the Griffs swam to a first-place finish to remain undefeated in the routine this season. Canisius held an eight-point lead over runner-up Wheaton, who managed to score 79.500 points. The Griffs' team routine included seniors Melissa Andrews and Victoria Mintz, juniors Morgan Lebrecht, Jessica Mancini and Svetlana Ponkratova, sophomore Viktoria Mironova, and freshmen Laina Gray and Laura Schmidt.
Canisius dominated the trio routine, taking the top-three spots in the event. Separated by only .125 points, the trio of Schmidt, Gray, and Lebrecht captured the top spot (83.875), edging out second-place trio (83.750) of Mintz, Mancini, and Mironova for the first time this season. Finishing third overall was the trio of freshmen Miranda Marquez and Kristin Oswald, and junior Deanna DeSimone with a score of 77.500 for their second-highest point total this season.
In duet action, Ponkratova and Mintz combined to finish first (85.000) with the duet of DeSimone and Oswald in third (77.625).
Ponkratova kept her string of first-place finishes in the solo routine intact, placing first with a score of 86.625. The junior coasted to first place with over an eight-point lead on runner-up Nicole Chicoine of Wheaton College (78.250).
The Blue and Gold will conclude the 2013 season at the U.S. Collegiate National Championships on March 20-21 in Stanford, Calif.

On Monday, Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast of the United States, flooding entire towns in New York and New Jersey, triggering large-scale power outages and killing at least 17 people. The health and safety of individuals is the first and foremost priority, followed by the recovery of critical infrastructure services (power, water, hospital services, transportation etc.). As these services begin to recover, many business and IT leaders are wondering how they will resume normal operations to ensure the long-term financial viability of the company and the livelihoods of their employees and how they will serve their loyal customers.
Most likely, if you have offices that lie in the path of Hurricane Sandy, you are experiencing some sort of business disruption, large or small. The largest enterprises, especially those in financial services, spend an enormous amount of money on business, workforce and IT resiliency strategies. Many of them shifted both business and IT workloads to other corporate locations in advance of the storm, proactively closed offices and directed employees to work from home or a designated alternate site.
If you are small and medium enterprise and, like many of your peers, you didn't have an alternate workforce site, robust work-from-home employee capabilities, an automated notification system or a recovery data center, what do you do now? While it's too late to implement many measures to improve resiliency, there are several things you can do now to help your organization return to normal operations ASAP. Here are Forrester's top recommendations for senior business technology leaders:

How does one predict a woot-off? For us common folks we simply take them as they come, with the same excitement and joy as finding not one but two toy prizes in your cereal box.
But there are others, the ones who are known in some circles as the illwootminati. It is they who pull the strings and decipher the masterfully mind boggling messages and cryptic clues in the write ups of the featured products each and every day, piecing them together using the staff of King Baggoff Kraptos under the light of the banana moon upon the scroll of Moofinios written by the prophets Remitrom and Etnom who forsaw the coming of the woot-off and penned their predictions and prophecies onto the crappy scroll, in hopes to pass on the knowledge to the treasure hunters.
As for the fortune tellers final words, they were thus: "I'm...first...sucker...".
1. if woot has items that you don't want enough days in a row that you forget to check OR you are running late and can't check before later in the day.
2. More Monkey Madness
Part 1: Unless it's near Christmas time, W-Os tend to be around the 20th or so of each month.
Part 2: Is it Mac-compatible?
3 words? bah! One word..."Wootenschmirtz"
1: Vary Carefully
2: It is now
It's interesting that this came up. I was asked this question today by a co-worker.
There is a long and a short story, but I will keep this one short.
You see, years ago, I purchased a USB refrigerator from Woot to keep on my desk at work. After some time, a monkey moved in. Free AC, plenty of room, and USB power!
Every night he peaks out of his home at midnight to make sure the cleaning crew is done before he ventures out to play.
On the rare occasion he wears himself out so much that he leaves the door open and greets me when I come in to work.
Oddly enough, every time his door is open, there is a 50/50 chance of there being a woot-off. He's almost like the groundhog, magical.
Part 2: "Make It So"
1. I learned from Bullwinkle: Eenie meenie chili beanie, the spirits are about to speak...
2.Worse Wootoff Ever
[quote postid="4966361" user="Bogie21"]It's interesting that this came up. I was asked this question today by a co-worker.
There is a long and a short story, but I will keep this one short.
love your pics. i so wanna hug your monkey.
1 - I KNOW a woot-off is coming when I get that warm, tingly feeling in my....... oh damn, I guess I just had to pee.
2 - I need depends. (Apparently even when there is no woot-off!)
1) Newsletter
2) I love monkeys
I know thee is a wootoff when I see the lights.
Where's my prize?
FenStar wrote:I know thee is a wootoff when I see the lights.
Where's my prize?
I have it - a netbook!
I sense Woot Offs by the wind on the trees. You see, the minions in Dallas have a very tangible connection to the weather. When boxes are moved, dust is unsettled. That dust scares the moths hiding amongst the Roombas.
These moths flutter about, causing slight vibrations through the air. The only thing on earth that are sensitive enough to these vibrations is the primatus aviatus, or flyer monkey.
Disturbed by the vibrations, they call out and take flight, but hopelessly fly in a clockwise circular pattern. This forces the cumbulonimbus clouds to start to swirl and form funnel clouds.
These funnel clouds move across the great plains, leaving havoc and destruction in their wake. Around Iowa, the massive power unleashed by these cyclones starts to wither and fade. As they move across Illinois and into Chicago, all that is left is a gentle breeze across my cheek, and the faint whisper of "crap".
It is this breeze that starts my watch over the Woot home page. Like the great stone kings of Gondor, I stand watch, and wait, for the chance to buy hope, and comfort, in the form of 432 magnetic balls.
The fortune teller said "Klaatu Barada Nik.." Necktie... Neckturn... Nickel... It was an "N" word, it wsas definitely an "N" word...
1 - at least 4 weeks from last woot-off,at least X number of items not sell out since last woot off ( unknown number, 20? )
2- buy more crap
1) It has (for a while) and probably will continue to ALWAYS begin on a Tuesday. Rarely is it the 1st Tuesday of the month. So that narrows it down to 3 (4) days.
2) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Sunday, Monday, Happy Days.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days.
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days.
Saturday, What a day,
Groovin' all week with you.
1. How do I know?
Things come and things go.
If you really wanna know
You're gonna have to feel my flow.
I was walking down the street, just the other day
When I stopped to trace a beat, that I heard one 90's May.
In my confusion and suspicion, the tune was chronic ill
But because of intuition, I recognized Jagged Little Pill.
I thought, "Alanis Morissette, where have you been"?
I had your number 1 cassette, but this is now and that was then.
Ironically, I walked, with my hand in my pocket,
Until, you oughta know, I came across a rocket.
If I were Pinky or the Brain, I'd be Pinky, he says, "narf."
So call me a bandwagon-jumping-uber-hipster
But I'm not the one with the gaudy lighting fixture.
What the crap in world was I supposed to tell you here?
I forgot, but give me time, after all, it's leap year.
Oh yeah, that's right, you wanna know how I know.
Piece of cake (it's a lie), hold yo' breath and read below.
2. Ebb and flow.
Wootoff's can't be predicted, they simply are. One must be prepared at all times, vigilantly awaiting the opportunity. Like a stealthy hunter, we sit quietly for days, weeks and yes, sometimes months for our prey to show itself and then WE POUNCE!
Wait, another Roku?
First, I run a computer simulation of the effects of earthquakes in various areas of the globe. I then run another query regarding home.woot purchases near those earthquke locations.
Second, I use a pressure sensor at the bottom of my keyboard to determine if the lunar pull has affected my typing.
Third, I then map the locations of the places most prone to buying leakfrogs. I Consult the data currently being compiled by woot satellites along with demographic data for moofi purchases
Fourth, I then watch the S&P looking for a carrot top with a declinging cup and saucer spread equivalent to the micro cap 600 index.T his is an immediate visual indicator that a wootoff is building.
Fifth, I then pay attention to the comments on deals.woot, looking for repeated common questions such as what is a Barrel of Crops?
Sixth, I then check blood elevation levels of wine.woot purchasers to predict which areas of the are likely needing more alcohol.
seventh, I then pay attention to the latest woot off prediction information, such as local.woot and sellout.woot.
Those three words: I'll never tell.
Part 1: The Woot boards are getting restless...in the back of our minds, it's bubbling...it's been too long since our last white-knuckled day, sleepless night, the F5 key has been fixed for two weeks now, and let's see...three days till payday! Yep. It's time.
Part 2: Not another Dyson! *groan*
Ooh. Are the 3 words "card security code"?
Got it. The 3 words are:
"One Day, One Deal"
1. It's simple. Did I just buy something at regular price because I got tired of waiting for it to come back to Woot? I did? Woot off next day... With the item I bought at a better deal as everyone calls it a weed killer.
2. Sleep, No... Refresh.
I've just become so attached (addicted) to the woot community as a woot member I started to gain a woot-sense (like spider senses). Now I just know when woot-offs are coming and all that stuff. Just look at who predicted the last two sale-guessing games over at Music Monday Woot.com on turntable
@Agingdragqueen says I'm not allowed to play because of my woot-senses (Even though I tried to make my guesses less obvious she still caught on) Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
I wish I could give you some creative clues but it just comes natural to me.
Part 2: Look out behind-

lol I was working on it and just finishing it up when you slapped me I woulda been done faster had I not got interrupted by you and then @AnotherHiggins
Part 1: When things are going just a bit too smoothly with my fiance, a phone buzzer goes off at 10 PM (PT), and she says...
Part 2: ..."Oh, another Woot-off?"
1: You know, it always sneaks up on me, and suddenly I'm surrounded by all these deals. I should have paid better attention to that soothsayer.
2: "Et tu, Wootay?"
1) It's almost guaranteed that, as soon as I clean my cache and delete my form data, a mysterious bag filled with crap will appear, and I'll get lost in a login loop whilst others gleefully get theirs.
2) Baccarat or Canasta?
Just a reminder while the lights are on, the games will continue! We're enjoying everything we've seen so far and anyone jumping in has some tough competition to beat! For those who have entered, come back after the lights are off - well, during the day after (the cat and duck are daytime creatures) to find out what we thought and such!

reminds me of madonna - many have entered but few come back
Part 1: My friend Ed stops going out to lunch and complains that he may not have enough gas in his car to get to and from work until we get paid on Friday.
Part 2: Wake up, WOOT-OFF!
2. "Hold my beer..."
man. this is going to be difficult.
1 - I have minions everywhere and the woot warehouse is no exception. The minions stationed at the warehouse smuggle out a message stuffed inside a Gund Flying Pig that gives the exact date of the woot-off and the timing of the Mysterious Baggie.
2 - the - spy - is.............
You know that ants are everywhere right? and that they can lift 50 times their own body weight? Well I am the master off all the ant colony's within Texas. And of course when the woot warehouse gets a little full, the weight pushes down on the various ant nests under the buildings. At that point it is not so difficult for a stream of scent-messages to make its way to me. I usually have at least an hour's warning before they set those lights to spinning.
"bye bye paycheck" (and possibly a sigh as her last breath leaves her lips)
How many of you know that ants farm? Well they really do and in order to keep up with the times, the ants of the world have expanded to server farms. It's easy to keep them cool within the depths of the ground. As the undisputed leader of all ant-kind I have access to all the ant server farms currently online, and guess where the woot servers are located? yep you guessed it. We refer to is as the W.D.D. which most people thinks stands for World Development Directorate. It actually means Woot Domination Department. The IT-ants have very strict instructions to keep an eye out on the woot servers. And whenever a woot-off is near, the heightened activity means a quick message to the boss, meaning me.
"screaming flying monkeys?"
alternate last words :
"no more leakfrogs?"
I do not predict the woot off. I create it. You see, many years ago I inadvertently purchased some books on tape. I have this colleague, who's primary goal in life is to take over the world. *NARF* For days and days he would try to accomplish this. He went weeks without showering, and started to smell. Finally I could not take it anymore, even for a rodent he was pungent. I went online and purchased books on tape on "Brain Washing". I figured I could give him a real good scrubbing to get the odor out. I listened to these books several times. Not once did it explain on how to give my friend a bath. *POIT* I was about to give up and move on with my life, and then I had an idea. *GONK* I could get him to shower himself. It was quite easy actually. I just needed to make him think that he wanted to shower, and not that I wanted him to shower. *ZORR*. Well, my furry little friend did end up showering, however his plans were still sub-par, so I decided to branch out and take on the task of world domination on my own. Using the techniques I learned from the book, I figured that I needed to control many minds. Not just any minds, only the brightest minds. To test my brain washing abilities, I decided to get people to go crazy over nothing, some might even call it crap. Once you have the people, you cannot be stopped. *ZOUNDS* Now, for me to get the people. That is where the Woot-Off comes in to play. After I left my associate, I found my way into a nice cozy building in Texas. After taking up a home in a warehouse full of boxes, I came to know the people there. Day in and day out, they sent these boxes all over America. *EGAD* I decided that I would have these people distribute my message for me. It took a while to crack their minds, but eventually I was successful. I started adding my message in the boxes. "Buy the crap, you need the crap". You see, when there is a woot-off, it is because I wanted there to be a woot-off. I put it in their brain, and made it so. While you flock to the website, getting emotional and trembling, you are just confirming my tactics are successful. Be prepared, this is just the phase 1. *GAT*.... and they said that I was the dumb one.
I will leave you with these three words........ You Saw Nothing
1: Wootoffs always happen when work demands I go somewhere for several days without reliable internet access.
2: Pro Bay Shun

The confusing war in Afghanistan never ceases offering unusual encounters between people of varying backgrounds. Last month, Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT educated Pakistani woman was caught in Afghanistan carrying formulas for making bombs and maps of potential targets in the United States. She was stopped outside a government building in Ghazni province and when her handbag was searched the incriminating evidence was uncovered. At this point, the story becomes somewhat bizarre. The American version is FBT agents and US military officers were questioning her when Siddiqui grabbed a rifle and tried shooting the Americans but her hand was hit which prevented any of the bullets finding a target. She supposedly yelled in English, "that she wanted to kill Americans" before being shot herself. She is now in New York where she faces charges of attempted murder.
Elaine Whitfield Sharp, the family attorney disputes the military version of what happened in Afghanistan and claims US agents held her for years and was tortured. An Afghan official claims the confusion arose when American and Afghan security officers were arguing as to who held jurisdiction over the detained woman.
Ms. Siddiqui received a biolgoy degree from MIT and then wrote a doctoral thesis on neurological sciences while attending the Jewish founded Brandeis University. The story is rather confusing. Unfortunately, it feeds into beliefs of secret Muslim agents in America waiting to carry out attacks.

Wickedbeard, they couldn't say enough about your metal armor bro and didn't believe that the costume was mine. they kept asking me "what time do you have to have the suit back by"
we filmed from 8:40am to 5pm. I had a full action scene which they didn't show. after I blasted those two knuckleheads, they turned into two piles of smoldering ash and then the women announces me as the raffle winner. I then walk towards the door stepping over the two piles of ash and into the room. all while not spilling my coffee .I noticed my Gauntlet hose was disconnected in one of the scenes and I bet most of you caught it too.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
One of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in recent history, the recent Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak in 2008 associated with produce, stymied many public health investigators, epidemiologists, and food industry experts for an extended period of time. First specific types of fresh tomatoes and then imported fresh peppers were implicated, and sources were difficult to pinpoint. Over 1300 individuals were documented with the foodborne infection across the U.S. and Canada. Portions of the fresh produce industry and international trade suffered significant financial damage. Import regulations and inspections are under comprehensive assessment and revision. Local, state and federal agencies experienced difficulties due to differing outbreak investigation methodologies and inconsistent, variably effective consumer communication. Federal and State legislators are proposing drastic changes in regulations. Furthermore, there was an ongoing suspicion throughout the investigation that the contamination may have been intentional, or at least highlighted the vulnerability in our surveillance and response systems. Obviously at this point a year after the initial presentation of the illnesses, many lessons have been learned and responses to the event are still unfolding.

Finally I'm able to show off some progress on my Emperor display.
While I was at it, I figured I might as well take a couple of Emp/Vader pics as well since they were always meant to stand side by side.
Here is how this went down.
- Monday I received the final Emperor robes that I've been working on/off for almost a year (it's hard with juggling so many projects you know).
- Yesterday, I received my Cyberman/Gino head casting in the mail.
- Last night, I trimmed the bust to fit my mannequin, and set off on re-proportioning the mannequin to Ian McDiarmid specs.
- Today, took these pics.
- Early next week, I should have my Emperor hands (they'll be unpainted).
I plan to create a step by step thread on finishing the bust on SWP just like I did with the Darth Maul for anyone interested in seeing it.
Whenever I hit a major update, I'll of course keep you posted.
Let me know what you think.
You don't know how long I've waited to take a pic like this.

text: There are other parts that should be changed as well such as the extractor, extractor plunger, plunger spring and spring loaded bearing, depending on which caliber you choose. My question is why bother. You have an excellent gun in .40 caliber so why not use the right ammo for the gun you purchased. 9 mm ammo is a bit less expensive but I would recommend you shoot the ammo the gun was designed for.

Last weekend, we went to Carolina Perez's wedding to Adam Furgal. It was only the second time that Kate and I had been to Spain and we found Madrid to be far more enjoyable than Barcelona. Apart from the wedding, we also went to two fantastic exhibitions and a couple of art museums (not so great :))We stayed in a modernist hotel called Room Mate Laura, which had carpet on the bedroom walls and large Post medieval images behind the bedsteads!
If you get the chance to go to Madrid, I really recommend going to the Submerged Treasures of Egypt exhibition at the Slaughter House (some amazing artefacts from Canopus, Alexandria and Heracleion) and also to the National Museum of Archaeiology ( a very simple, yet powerful display of Spanish and Central American archaeology.)
The Egyptian exhibition made really great use of technology to put the artefacts into context with both their past and their discovery context and also demonstrated how Maritime Archaeology works (I miss that part of my life!) The artefacts on display varied from Monumental architectural fragments, a couple of Sphinxes, lots of Pharonic statues down to everyday objects. I think that many national Museums could learn from their approach to displaying the story of the Delta cities through innovative labelling and ICT use. The venue that the exhibition is within is also quite interesting due to the graffiti on the walls and its immense size!

(ARA) - For students, teachers and parents alike, a new school year means a fresh start. However, it also means busy schedules full of sports practices, homework and after-school activities. Despite hectic mornings and jam-packed afternoons, making sure children are getting proper nutrition, rest and exercise is extremely important to their success. For a healthy and happy school year, use a few tips to keep your student at the head of the class.
Blend in nutrition
There's a good chance your young student would prefer a candy bar over an apple, but with a little help, you can make sure your kids get the nutrition they need in a tasty way. A whole-fruit smoothie, such as the Vitamix Peach Cobbler Smoothie, will keep your child refreshed and energized without the refined sugar and preservatives found in many store-bought snacks. Even convenience is no longer an excuse to choose less healthy, packaged options. Simply toss the whole-fruit ingredients into your Vitamix 7500 machine, add ice, and in seconds you'll have a delicious nutrient-packed, on-the-go treat. Vitamix offers hundreds of recipes for fruit smoothies and other healthy snack options, so your student is sure to find a flavorful combination he or she likes. For extra convenience, make a large batch of your family's favorite recipes and freeze in individual containers for easy grab-and-go options. With the right nutrients and vitamins, kids will be able to stay focused and conquer even the toughest of days.
Rest up
Without enough sleep, focusing on math and spelling can be nearly impossible. Students need to be well-rested and mentally alert to learn, and sleep deprivation will prevent them from fully absorbing new information. To help your scholar stay awake and ready to learn throughout the day, encourage a routine that allows for adequate rest. Younger children need more sleep, and the average elementary student requires about nine to 10 hours each night. Getting into a nightly routine will help your child adapt to a regular sleep schedule, which should begin with turning off television and computer screens 30 minutes before bedtime. It is also important to create a relaxing environment, so make sure that the room is dark, cool and quiet, and your child is sleeping on a comfortable, supportive mattress. After 15 to 30 minutes of a light activity, such as reading, your child will enjoy a restful night and productive next day.
Move it
With childhood obesity at an all-time high, initiatives nationwide are focused on making sure kids get sufficient amounts of exercise each day. Encourage your student to try a new sport this school year or join an after-school exercise class. Kids who prefer not to join in organized activities can enjoy a number of toys, including roller skates, bicycles, kick balls and jump ropes, to increase physical activity. To help your children find more active forms of entertainment, limit the amount of time they spend in front of television screens, video games and computers. You can also lead by example and schedule a day of family activity, such as walking, swimming or biking. Spread physical activities throughout each day, and your kids will be on the way to better physical fitness and development.
By making sure your young students get proper nutrition, sleep and exercise each day, you can ensure this school year gets off to a happy, healthy start. For more nutritious recipes students of any age will love, visit www.vitamix.com.
Peach Cobbler Smoothie
Preparation:10 minutes
Processing:40 to 45 seconds
Yield: 4 1/2 cup servings
3/4 cup peach nectar
2 cups vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons wheat germ
4 teaspoons rolled oats
2 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices
1 cup ice cubes
Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid. Select Variable 1. Switch machine to Start and slowly increase speed to Variable 10. Blend for 40 to 45 seconds using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.


text: As much as I like the Spurs, the Grizz have a better chance of beating Miami than San Antonio. The only way to beat Miami is to force them to become jump shooters. Grizz are better defensively than Spurs. They have a better paint enforcer and better perimeter defenders. Green can't defend Wade and Leonard can't keep up with LeBron. Which means, they'll have to double-team and that's when Miami kills you with drives or wide open shooters. Grizz on the other hand have a Gasol clogging the lane. Allen can defend Wade as well. Their fate hinges on how much Tay gets distracted by LeBron's muscles. The Pacers are probably the most capable team of beating Miami, if the refs allow it.

Phantom for stock class, else I would prefer a regulated cocker w/ pump kit myself.
Posted 15 October 2012 - 07:30 PM
Depends what you want in a pump. I own 2 phantoms, and have shot a ccm'd superstock. I can tell you I like the smoother pump action so that's why all my phantoms are going to the chopping block.
See my about me for useful things like feedback!

my sniper is so sexy
have shot a ccm'd superstock.
if i were you i would put a kit on your lightning
DLX Luxe. up north where we like maple syrup and hockey.

Pump kit on lightning. If you don't like pump you haven't lost much and you can convert your gun back to semi at any time. Unless of course you want stock class, which then basically means a phantom or a used grey ghost (my choice).

Yep, bout bloody time to!
The logo is more TDH celebration!:D
Finally, cool!
Yeah. Another vacation....
Nooooooooooooo... too far away!!!! :wacko
I was really hoping for a closer venue, and the time of year makes it a toss up for me... either FanExpo in Toronto, or C5. Time to start saving I guess. :facepalm
Ack! Right in between SDCC and DragonCon!
Yeah, it's gonna be a pick-and-choose this year for some people this year.
Other than that I'm excited! Art, wait till you see the fan group application. I hope you don't have an outstanding FBI record. =P
Orlando? Maaan..:wacko hehe! J/K
Great to hear the announcement is out. :thumbsup:fettesb:thumbsup:jango
I am blowing off SDCC. This type of specific event doesn't come around too often :cheers:thumbsup
This is awesome that they finally decided to tell us when and where!!! :cheers
I wish that I could bring my wife and kids as well Arturo, but my wife is pretty sure that her side of the family is planning to bring her and the kids out west some time this summer to visit... so I'll more than likely be going to C5 solo. :cry:cry
I'm hoping that I can afford to bring my Jango, but as it sits right now, my tub is illegal as it's 1" or 2" square too big! I can onmly afford to go to one major con/event next year, and C5 fits the bill. I'd also love to finally meet the lot of you in person.
AWESOME NEWS! Right in my backyard too!!! :thumbsup
Me and my wife will be coming. Her sister lives there and so it'll be nice to see them and go to wdw and celebration. Def. Excited.
Sounds good! Disneyworld and Star Wars. It doesn't get much better than that!
I've heard horror stories of shipping being as much as or more than airfare... I seem to recall hearing tales of shipping fees upwards towards $300 to $500 dollars on over-sized tubs! :confused
If I were to drive it, it would take me 2 to 3 days of all out driving to get to Orlando from Ottawa... airfare would be far cheaper considering todays gas prices. :facepalm
I'll just have to research the different airlines, and find out what the current limitations are for over-sized baggage. Hope they don't charge me into bankruptcy.
Well, going and coming from SDCC costs me $400 extra just to transport my gear on the plane. So I would say depending on how big your tub is, and how much weight you have in it, then your going to pay around $200-$400 just for that part of the trip.
How much do tickets usually cost for this?
:skull El1te
I shipped my costume the day before my arrival at Dragon Con in 2006. I sent it FED-Ex priority through my corporate account, it was about $400. I shipped back 5-Day Ground, at around $150. I personally prefer shipping than doing the TSA thing. I flew with my Bacara costume to Adcon for Jon and Rose's wedding in 2007 and I was charged a total of $350 and those TSA folks went through my entire bin, and dishelved the packing. I ended-up with a few busted parts.
Wao, that is a great news, from Puerto Rico to Orlando it is a 2 hours flight,:thumbsup I want to go with all my family so i need to make some extra cash.
About bloody time they made a decision! :facepalm
At this point I don't know if I'm going solo or with the family... finances are really tight right now - But I will be there! DC and SDCC were out of the picture anyway, I was hoping and praying they would make a decision on this, because CV was all I could afford this year.

An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the systems manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification, such as a voter registration card, credit card, etc. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth along with one other piece of information such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR § 401.40).
Record access procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and state the corrective action sought and the reasons for the correction with supporting justification showing how the record is untimely, incomplete, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Records are derived from other SSA systems (e.g., the Master Files of SSN Holders (60‑0058), Earnings Recording and Self‑Employment Income System (60‑0059) and the Master Beneficiary Record (60‑0090)); quarterly earnings items file; and IRS name and address file.
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act:

Can you trick yourself into liking exercise?
I want to (and know I should) exercise more. I actually like to run—but I often go long stretches (weeks!) without running. I find all kinds of excuses to skip exercise: the baby didn't sleep well, I'm too busy at work to break at lunch, I'm too hungry at dinner to run first. You know what I mean, life stuff.
When I get into these ruts, I try to remind myself that even President Obama makes time to exercise. But that sort of reasoning doesn't really get me out the door on a run.
What does work for me? These are my 4 tricks to get myself to exercise more:
- Rewards—such as a hazelnut nonfat latte from my favorite coffee shop as a post-run treat—help get me moving. Or I'll make myself a delicious, healthy dessert.
- For every mile I run, I earn a dollar to spend on something I don't really need, just want, like some cool jewelry or a new pair of shoes. Frivolous maybe, but motivating for sure.
- I've also started subscribing to the idea that exercise doesn't have to be "all or nothing" and reminding myself that walking with my dog is legitimate physical activity. Even vacuuming the house with my son in the BabyBjorn counts for something: it's lifestyle exercise. So I'm volunteering for those sorts of jobs and letting my husband do the less-active tasks, such as folding laundry in front of the football game.
- Setting goals for myself—both big ones and small ones. I'm planning to do a half marathon in May. I'll be motivated to get regular exercise if I know I'm working toward a bigger goal. If I get stuck, I'll remember these 6 ways to sneak in more exercise.
Exercise may never come naturally to me, but history tells me that I'll never stop using little tricks and bribes to stay as active as possible.

Additional Information
|Source Naturals
|Product Type
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

VILLANOVA, PA. - Kara Cannizzaro scored four consecutive second-half goals and Abbey Friend scored three times as third-seeded North Carolina dominated second-seeded Northwestern, 11-4, on Friday afternoon in the NCAA Tournament semifinals at Villanova Stadium. The victory sends the Tar Heels to their second appearance in the national championship game.
"I am really proud of my kids, my players," head coach Jenny Levy said after the game. "I thought we stuck to the game plan, we trusted in each other. We are really excited, it was a great win, and I like how we executed. I thought we were poised, we stuck together and executed really well on defense."
The win improves Carolina to 17-3 this season and ties the school record for wins in a season set previously in 2002 and 2010.
Carolina snapped Northwestern's streak of eight consecutive appearances in the NCAA title game. The Tar Heels had been 0-4 against the Wildcats in NCAA Tournament play prior to Friday.
UNC, making its seventh appearance in the national semifinals and fourth in five years, also beat Northwestern 11-8 during the regular season on Feb. 22. The only other time a Kelly Amonte Hiller-coached Northwestern team has lost to the same team twice in the same season was last year against Florida.
Aly Messinger had a goal and an assist for UNC, and Sammy Jo Tracy, Kelly Devlin and Jessica Griffin all scored once. Emily Garrity and Taylor George dished out assists for the Tar Heels. Northwestern got single goals from Kat DeRonda, Amanda Macaluso, Kelly Rich and Alyssa Leonard. DeRonda added an assist.
Northwestern held Cannizzaro scoreless until the 16:19 mark of the second half. "In the first half, Northwestern did an amazing job, they totally shut me down," she said after the game. "It speaks volumes of my teammates. My teammates carried us in the first half, and they produced when I was shut down. That's what allowed us to explode in the in the second half"
Freshman Megan Ward played all 60 minutes in goal for Carolina, making seven saves and limiting Northwestern to four goals, tying the Wildcats' season low.
The Tar Heels jumped out quickly and led, 4-1, at halftime, holding an opponent to one goal in a half for the third time this year. It was the 25th time in NCAA semifinal and final history that a team has scored just one goal in a half. It was the second time this season the Wildcats had been limited to one goal in a half.
Friend scored twice in the opening period, once on a free position attempt and once as she was falling to the ground in front of the Wildcat goal. Griffin also scored on a free position try, and Messinger tallied an unassisted goal on a nifty, stop-and-go move from the right of the cage.
After scoring the last two goals of the first half, the Tar Heels scored the first three of the second half to take a 7-1 lead with 22:57 to play. Friend scored her third goal at 27:47 on a pass from George off a free position attempt. Four and a half minutes later, Tracy took a pass from Garrity and scored for a 6-1 UNC advantage. Devlin's free position goal made it 7-1. Leonard scored for the Wildcats with 20:29 left to break the 5-0 Carolina scoring run. Carolina held the Wildcats scoreless for nearly 26 minutes of play spanning halftime.
Northwestern scored two in a row to cut the Tar Heel lead to 7-3 with 18:55 to go, but Cannizzaro responded with back-to-back goals in a two-minute span to put Carolina back ahead 9-3. She followed with her third consecutive score at 11:57, putting back a loose ball for a 10-3 advantage. Her fourth in a row came just 22 seconds later, slipping it into the net for an 11-3 lead.
The Tar Heels advance to Sunday night's NCAA championship game to face top-seeded Maryland, which defeated Syracuse in Friday's second semifinal.

I spent last week in Tokyo, Japan. Given that an increasing number of our clients are eyeing Japan's eCommerce market, I thought it would be interesting to share some observations from my trip. Local business perception is that the economy is struggling and will persist to struggle, but robust activity on the street and our most recent Asia Pacific Forecast belie that. There is clearly potential for growth in the market, but changes need to be made before that can happen. Based on my observations, the key inhibitors are:


text: This is just my opinion based on no inside information so take it for what it is worth. No matter what happens (even if the pistons go to NBA finals) this season, I predict that there will be a MAJOR shakeup in the starting lineup. At least one, maybe 2 starters will be gone before next season. I predict Chauncy and either RIP or sheed will be gone. Did anybody see Dumar's face at the end of the 4th game when piston's win was sealed. He was very serious and almost fuming. If i were Joe, I would be angry too. You head it here first... (not 100% sure.. there might be others who might have said similar things but I dont read every post in every thread) ;-)
