Wisconsin already has clinched a bye in the upcoming Big Ten tournament and can't win the conference's regular-season title, making Sunday's home matchup with Illinois little more than a postseason tune-up.
There's much more on the line for the Fighting Illini.
Unlike Illinois, the 14th-ranked Badgers (22-8, 11-6) are a lock for the NCAA tournament. They can do no better than a second-place tie in the final Big Ten standings, though they ensured a first-round bye in the conference tournament with a 52-45 win over Minnesota on Tuesday.
"Anytime you can play to win less games to get to your ultimate goal, it's always a good thing," senior Jordan Taylor said after scoring 22 points. "Playing three instead of four will definitely help."
Wisconsin avoided a letdown following a 63-60 win at then-No. 8 Ohio State last Sunday. The Badgers had to overcome shooting a season-low 30.8 percent and a seven-point halftime deficit, but they refused to blame their performance on being tired while playing their second game in three days.
"At this point of the season I think everyone is at the same level. You can't say you're tired, because everybody is tired," forward Mike Bruesewitz said. "We have played the same amount of games. Playoffs are just around the corner so we have to be excited about that."
Taylor, who will be playing his final home game, said the Badgers won't overlook a desperate Illinois team Sunday.
"They have been struggling but they have a lot of talent over there," he said. "It is a game we have to go in and play with more energy."
The Illini (17-13, 6-11) should be able to match Wisconsin's intensity given their current situation.
Illinois was ranked in early January but has since lost 10 of 12, possibly needing a win Sunday and an impressive run in the conference tournament to convince the selection committee it's worthy of an NCAA bid.
"If you want to go to the tournament, you need to win games," coach Bruce Weber said. We'll need to win at Wisconsin, and we'll have to win at the Big Ten tournament."
The Illini's NCAA tournament hopes took another hit Thursday, never leading in a 72-61 home loss to No. 13 Michigan.
Meyers Leonard scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
"They just kind of controlled the game and took it away from us," Leonard said.
The Illini have wins over three ranked teams but have gone 0-4 against them since beating then-No. 9 Michigan State on Jan. 31. Their resume also includes a 23-point loss at conference-worst Nebraska on Feb. 18.
Illinois was 15-4 and ranked No. 22 entering the first meeting with the Badgers on Jan. 22, but a then-unranked Wisconsin team went on a late run to win 67-63.
Taylor scored a game-high 19 points and Jared Berggren added 18 in the victory, while Leonard scored a team-high 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Taylor had 22 points in Wisconsin's 76-66 win Jan. 15, 2011, in the most recent meeting in Madison.

The Division
~ The Bay ~
Taizo woke up early to talk to Yinlo. Yinlo was ready for him. He was waiting near the bay. When Taizo was in earshot he immediately began explaining. The revenge Yinlo sought had been brought by the Water Tribe and a spirit. It was better than the army he had on the Western cliffs. It was better than stealing the Moon. Now he planned on traveling to the Earth Kingdom to ward off any more Chi-Blockers. This way they never stayed in one place too long.
"And what of the bending move you showed me? Do I get taught that?"
"Of course. As soon as we travel to the Earth Kingdom I will teach it to you. You'll need to learn it for your next mission."
"Which is?"
"In due time," Melora interjected. The group traveled to the edge of the bay. All the docks were destroyed when the Ocean spirit was stolen.
"Taizo!" a young voice called out. Taizo turned his head and saw the Water Tribe boy walking towards him, in tears. Taizo continued walking behind Yinlo and Melora. "Taizo, it's me Wato. Are you leaving? I thought you were living here forever!" Wato tugged at his robe but Taizo continued on, ripping the robe out of the young waterbender's hand.
"My dad is dying. Please don't go!" Wato pleaded. Taizo stopped for one second, as if Wato's words struck right to his heart. Then he continued on. The band of airbenders flew off on their gliders. They traveled to the northern tip of the Earth Kingdom to set up camp.
Wato watched the airbenders disappear into the sky. Free to travel where ever they wanted. Wato began crying. His world had fallen apart. His father was clinging on for his life. His mother was dead. The only adult he could count on was Taizo and he just flew away. Wato slowly returned to the Academy to check on his father.
~ Chief's Palace ~
Toko stood in the newly erected tower by his Palace. The Avatar had created it for him after their meeting the previous night. Down below the city was being washed by waterbenders. The stains of blood were being removed from their community of ice. At least fifty were killed in a combination of the destruction of the healing temple, the war, and the hail storm. The bodies were scattered across the land.
Jong-Mu climbed to the top of the tower. He watched the Chief gaze at the ruins of his city. Inside he felt a sense of unease. The chief he met originally was not a good leader. He didn't listen to his people. But this chief, the chief he heard last night—he seemed changed, somehow for the worse. Perhaps it was the dangerous smile he had stitched on his face or maybe the way his shoulders no longer slumped.
"Jong-Mu, how are you this morning?" Toko asked without turning around.
"Happy. I am happy this is all coming to an end."
"Well aren't you going to ask how I am?"
"No. Toko, your city was put in serious danger yesterday. I once thought knowledge of the spirits would help the human world. But now, I am not so sure."
"What do you suggest I do, Avatar?"
"You are to cease teaching the spirit class. You must put into law no talk of the spirits, as will Mokolo and his tribe. Tui and La will lose their identity over time. They will become legend. The spirits will just be koi fish and that is it. Then no harm will come to them."
"So the knowledge will be lost forever?"
"No. I shall send a scroll of this knowledge to Wan Shi Tong's Library. And as chief, I expect you to pass down this knowledge to the next chief and so on."
"You've been to the Library of Infinite Knowledge?" Toko asked in amazement. Few were allowed entrance to the Library. Even fewer could find it.
"Many times."
"For what?"
"Knowledge, of course."
"Yes, but for what?"
"I needed a new look on life. A fresh breath of air, if you will."
"How spiritual of you to talk in riddles."
"Toko, I must go help build the ships. Before I go, I have some advice. They are still your family. You must be kind to them, even if they are different. And like all families, they will grow. If you're not kind, one day they may come back with a vengeance. And who knows who will have grown larger. By the way, I did the math. Fifty-one percent of the city has declared to no longer be under your rule. Good day."
Toko felt a pressure in his chest, a storm of hatred brewing. He watched the Avatar travel to the bay. He gritted his teeth and snarled his nose. He scurried to inside his Palace.
~ Military Academy ~
"Is he okay?"
"I don't know yet. His condition is the same," Kyla answered the boy. His father was unconscious on a bed. Kyla was hovering over him with water at the ready.
"It's because I didn't get to him in time, isn't it?" Wato could only feel guilt.
"It's because that icicle impaled him. That wasn't your fault."
"You're a really good healer. I would love to teach you some advanced moves. For—"
"For next time?" Wato finished her sentence.
"Why don't you get some sleep? I'll come get you if your father's condition changes."
"You know my mother died right in front of me. I couldn't heal them both."
"The Avatar couldn't heal either of them. It's not your fault. No one could even control their bending. The Ocean spirit was in danger, all control was lost."
"You're right. Except for you. You had about as much control as the Avatar did. Why is that?" Wato asked curiously, almost hypnotically.
"How did you know that?"
"Everyone knows. You're the great healer, who helped defeat a guardian. You're nothing short of a legend," Wato explained.
"Have you decided? Where you'll go?" Kyla changed the subject.
"The South. No matter who rules, so long as I am far away from this place. It is just filled with... everywhere I look I see my mother's face. I look around and there she is. Even when I close my eyes, it's all I see. I need to get away."
"I'm so sorry, Wato."
"Can you show me?"
"Show you what?"
"What I should have done. My mother only just began teaching me to heal. Can you show me what I should have done. Sometime. I mean look at the wound, it's completely stopped bleeding. How did you do that?"
"Oh that wasn't me, that was one of the Elder Healers. She lives not too far from the Healing Temple, or rather where it was. They call her The Pincher. Just one pinch and the bleeding stops. Well that's what they say anyhow. I've never actually met her. She doesn't like visitors."
"The pincher?"
"Not very clever I suppose."
Wato walked out to another room to try and sleep. Kyla continued trying to heal his father. Kyla was quite sure nothing more could be done. In fact, she was sure he would be dead soon. She hated knowing that. Someone was going to die and she couldn't do anything to stop it. She hated knowing.
"Did he say he's going to the south?"
"WHAT?" Kyla shouted in disbelief. Latok was awake, coughing, begging for water and trying to desperately find out where his son was going.
~ The Bay ~
Jong-Mu reached the bay and saw the reconstruction of the docks as well the creation of Ice Ships. The boats would allow for the tribe traveling South to reach the city of Taku before it would become too warm to keep the water as Ice. There they would need to either build or purchase new ships. Most seemed in favor of purchasing new ships. There were only four ships left after the hail storm and Spirit Guardian attack.
"Let me help you!" Jong-Mu quickly intervened Kilo's attempt at helping create a ship. Kilo turned around and clenched his fists. Just another example of how he couldn't help.
Jong-mu quickly took control over the water Kilo was attempting to move. Had the Avatar not intervened he wouldn't been crushed. Kilo sat on the ground defeated as the Avatar finished building the ship on his own. Then he saw the downtrodden bender.
"You're the boy I saved. Kilo, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Nothing. Well not nothing. I'm not a waterbender. I have the skill but I can't even help make water into ice."
"Why were you never taught to waterbend?"
"I didn't know I could bend until very recently. My parents gave me up. I thought they were non-benders, at least that was what I was told. I tried once. I tried to bend the water but I couldn't. I swear I couldn't. And then one day I'm so angry because if I didn't come up with a plan I was going to have to leave the city—BAM. I bend water at my friend by accident. Nearly knocked him unconscious."
"Well it's never too late to learn," Jong-Mu replied. "First lesson, water into ice. Raise your hands, let your body flow with your hand's movements. Then just think cold."
"That's it?"
"Think cold." Jong-Mu and Kilo both raised their arms and created a wall of ice together. "Very good. It's never too late to learn, my friend."
"Avatar who is leaving?"
"The Chief will be announcing that soon."
"Please, just tell me. I need to know."
Jong-Mu thought back to the meeting that occurred after Kilo's reveal of his vision of the South Pole. Toko created a deal and Jong-Mu had no choice but to accept the conditions.
~ Chief's Palace ~
The Previous Night...
"Toko, what is the meaning of this?" Mokolo asked.
"The answer to our problems has been given to us by the spirits before we even asked!"
"The spirits?" Jong-Mu repeated.
"That boy. He saw a future. A future of two tribes. Two tribes united under one Moon!" Toko raised his arms to the sky.
"What are you talking about?" Mokolo questioned.
"Our city must divide. The boy was right. One side of this city must travel to the South and begin anew there. The question is who shall it be?"
"How do we decide that?"
"Avatar?" Toko and Mokolo stared at Jong-Mu.
"I don't care for the events that have transpired. Your city, your FAMILY is so divided it's literally killing you all! And I'm... no better. A boy had to choose between saving the life of his mother or his father. I could've helped if I knew how to heal."
"Jong-Mu we will not change the traditions of our tribe!" Toko screamed.
"NO! That's not my point. And as for your traditions, the previous Avatar from the Fire Nation was a female. Tell me, how did she learn waterbending?"
"I'm—I'm not sure," Toko admitted.
"Your traditions will not last. Regardless, I am going to help build the revolution's city. Whether they stay here or travel to the South, I will be at their service."
"Then we should get the city!" Toko screamed.
"You destroyed our city! You don't have any right to be up North! Why should you get it?" Mokolo asked.
"You get the help of the Avatar. Who knows what's in the South? Without the Avatar we'd die on a trip like that. At least we'd have something to begin building on up here!"
"Fine," the Avatar quickly agreed. "On two conditions. What happened here was a travesty. I believe the spirits are not meant to be known to all of mankind. But I'm not sure what can be done. Once I think of a solution I shall inform you immediately. Until then, Mokolo make plans to move your troops out."
"Thank you, Jong-Mu. I am happy to be a part of the leadership of the Water Tribes," Toko exclaimed.
"Don't act like we're part of the same family. Your ideas of equality are entirely to primordial. I can't wait to be separated from you forever!"
"NO!" Jong-Mu bellowed. "You are family. It is your nature to be different. In order to keep this community together you must meet every year in a festival. It will celebrate your family. It will celebrate your differences and similarities. Toko, if you wish to keep the city then you must adhere to this annual festival."
"Yes, perfect! I do! Thank you!" Toko cheered without hesitation. In his mind, he was formulating his plans for his great empire.
~ Spirit Oasis ~
Kyla instantly smiled as Kilo walked over to the Oasis. The koi fish were swimming quickly around one another. Kilo was a bit hesitant in walking over the bridge, in fear of the Spirits. This would be a trait that would never go away.
"Just come over!" Kyla laughed and grabbed his hand, pulling him across the bridge.
"Sorry, I guess I'm still a bit worried."
"There's nothing to worry about! Palokk pulled you into the Spirit World so you could let everyone know about the South Pole. You're not going back in there," Kyla tried assuring him. He backed a step away from her.
"Right?" Kyla asked, suspicious of his vagueness.
"You're wrong. Palokk didn't ask the spirit to pull me in. I'm not even sure what happened. I just woke up and Palokk was there. That and what happened in the South are kind of big mysteries to me." Kilo looked up at the sky, away from the spiritual waters. He hated the Spirit World.
"Maybe the Spirits brought you to him. They are guiding us after all. Palokk was probably waiting for someone to come for some time. He had to have been! Look at what you did. You stopped our city from erupting into war again. You're a hero!" Kyla hugged Kilo. She was honestly proud of him.
"Just stop."
"No you are. I mean, I was never going to learn waterbending here. Now I'm going to the South Pole to build a city based on equality! We're going to learn waterbending together! I've never been this happy!"
"You're going to the South Pole?" Kilo asked. He knew the answer, but wanted to hear her say it.
"Yes, I've told you that all ready. Well, I mean maybe not explicitly but today I had to help a man who was dying. A man who wouldn't be alive if his son didn't learn how to heal. I think if he can learn to heal then I should be able to learn how to waterbend!"
"Well, then you'll be a great bender down there," Kilo murmured.
"You mean we will? No, you didn't. Why are you saying that only I will? You're not coming?"
"My place in this story was to simply let my vision be known. Now the leaders of the two tribes know about the South Pole. I've done my job. I'm ready to learn waterbending now. This city may be in ruins but at least it's something to start off of. I'd have to go all the way to the South and then wait until the city was built to really learn. I've all ready spent most of my life not knowing I was a bender. I can't wait anymore."
"Well I don't get the luxury of that choice. I either stay here and remain without my rights or I travel to the other end of the world to get a fighting chance. I can't believe you're not coming. I thought we were friends!"
"Friends? Friends don't hover over you while you're healing in a bed. You have a crush on me. That's why you keep kissing me, it's why you keep asking to meet. Look, I'm thankful you rescued me but we barely know each other. I think you're just letting some terrible events misconstrue our relationship as a close one. You have no idea who I am."
"What are you talking about? I know who you are. You're—"
"I have to go. Good luck in the South Pole," Kilo cut her off and ran out of the Oasis. He didn't even notice Kyla's mother off to the side of the exit. She watched her daughter crying over the Oasis. Shakali couldn't find it in herself to console her daughter though, not after hearing her daughter's choice.
~ The Pincher ~
Toko entered the Academy. He stepped inside a room with an unconscious man whose arms looked beaten to near uselessness.
"How is he?"
"Not well. We're taking him to see The Pincher. His arms need to come off," Shakali informed the Chief.
"Poor Lotak," Toko murmured. "I'll help you take him there."
"Thank you." They began transporting the man to The Pincher's Hut. His breathing was shallow and his arms were completely bruised.
"I thought this man's injury was an icicle to the chest. Why are his arms coming off?"
"His arms were shattered on impact. Then an icicle fell down on him. We weren't aware of his arms until he awoke in great pain."
"The Pincher will not be pleased. She hates being woken out of schedule."
"I know. But his arms needed to come off instantly."
The Pincher was very displeased at the knocking on her door. She didn't like surprises. It made her tense. When she saw the man dying, she knew she would have to help. She could never turn down a man in need—it was the one thought she felt kept her human.
After the amputation, The Pincher began working. Her eyes seemed to grow and her hands grew rigid. The veins where the man's arms used to be were being suspended in mid-air. No blood was leaving the open wounds. The Pincher's techniques were not practiced by anyone else in the North Pole. She refused to teach anyone this minor level of blood bending. She was scared of the potential it had as well as the ability it had to drain a person of their life. The Pincher gave up her name ages ago, convinced she was no longer a human but a source of evil. The only peace she brought herself was by helping the ill when she could.
As she worked feverishly, Lotak began to wake as the pain was subsiding. Toko greeted his opening eyes with an evil grin. It was time for him to set his plans in motion.
"Hello waterbender."
"Chief. What? Where am I?"
"You're being healed. You lost your arms, I am very sorry," Toko revealed quickly.
"What? How did that happen? How will I bend?" Lotak almost yelled, concerned of the new life he would have to lead.
"Yes I know. Awful. Like I said, I am very sorry. You also lost your wife."
My wife? She's—"
"Dead, yes. And I'm afraid there is worse news yet."
"My son?"
"He's been taken. He thinks you're going to die and so he's chosen to travel to the South Pole. I know who you are, Lotak. I know you were a part of the revolution. But this is beyond that. Your son has been brainwashed into believing you're never coming back. You won't be able to leave for a few weeks. I'm very sorry."
"Brainwashed? As soon as I'm better I'm going to find him!"
"Do you really think they'll take you? You can't bend anymore. You'll be useless on a trip to the South in the OCEAN. Eventually they'll allow non-benders but for right now they only need the best. I'm sorry, but you are certainly no longer the best without your arms."
"They don't see non-benders like you, Toko."
"Yes, they do. They're not letting any non-benders join on their first voyage. Ask The Pincher."
"It's true," the Pincher said before she was even asked.
"Lotak, let me tell you a story."
Toko began with his parents—both born non-benders they were forced to leave the city. Toko grew up in the Earth Kingdom. He even witnessed the events that transpired in the Air Colony. While searching for a waterbender, he met the micro-blood bender. By then, she was all ready going under the name of The Pincher. The Pincher began teaching Toko some of her methods—to which Toko was never able to develop. He told her of the North and she desired greatly to travel there. Together they found the Northern Water Tribe.
Once they arrived, the city was at war. The same issues that threatened Toko's city existed ten years ago. One night, the previous chief was found in his bed, almost slain to death. He was quickly taken to see The Pincher. He almost died, but was revived by the morning. It was by the sun's rising that he declared Toko be the new chief in light of his near death experience. The city was at first excited that a young man with new ideas would be in charge—but that changed once his laws began suppressing others. Of course, it had taken ten years under his rule to get the laws to be as he wanted them. This was the very reason it took so long for another war to take place.
"With the growing city I thought it would be best to build an expansion. Yes, our city must expand, but I was wrong. The expansion shouldn't be in our own city. It should be over the world! We'll start with the South Pole and then—"
"Why would I help you? Do you hear yourself speak? It's madness!"
"I must say I am surprised. I thought for sure the non-bender threat would hold. And I suppose your child being kidnapped was a rather thin plot but it's like you barely care for him! Oh well. I suppose I'll have to do this just as I assumed the throne. By threatening you. Pincher, stop." With those words The Pincher immediately stopped helping the armless man. His wounds started to bleed.
"No. No, stop! Please stop! Save me!" Lotak screamed.
"Agree to be my spy and I will gladly tell her to continue." Lotak stared directly into Toko's eyes. He had never felt such anger before as he did then, staring into the eyes of an evil man.
"Fine," Lotak agreed. The bleeding immediately stopped. Toko's right side of his mouth lifted in happiness, a half smile of sorts. This was the first step to beginning his empire.
~ The Bay ~
Mokolo started packing his belongings onto the ship. In his mind, he couldn't leave soon enough. When Sokka broke his heart Mokolo could only think of leaving. The South Pole was perfect. It was literally on the other side of the world. Out of sight. Out of mind.
Out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of another man he had grown to hate. Dakko was trucking a bag of his clothes behind him as he headed to a ship. Mokolo marched over to him.
"Dakko, what makes you think you're even wanted here?" he shouted.
"I'm not. I'm not wanted anywhere. I'm evil. I tried stealing a spirit that brings life. I'm useless." Dakko felt pain strike through his heart. He knew himself all too well and it was killing him.
"You can't join our new city. But it doesn't make you useless. You will abandon our journey in the Earth Kingdom. Make your own tribe, live with Earth benders—heck, live in a swamp for all I care. You just can't live with us."
"Okay," Dakko answered, numb. He couldn't think ahead. He just knew that as soon as he arrived in the Earth Kingdom his life would consist of only himself. He would be a loner, known as the thief of spirits.
Mokolo and Dakko headed towards a ship. On their way they passed Kyla. She was searching for her mother. Her home was empty. She wasn't in the Military Academy. She was gone.
"Ready to go?" Mokolo asked her.
"Yeah, just saying goodbye to my mother." She looked around in every direction but her mother was nowhere to be found. Soon she would be traveling to the other side of the world and she couldn't even remember what she last said to her own mother.
"See you on the ship then, Kyla," Mokolo said and continued on. He met Avatar Jong-Mu on the ship. He was looking over maps studiously.
"Avatar, have you decided what our route is?"
"We're going to travel through the Earth Kingdom, I need to pick up my Badgermole. Then we'll follow the coastline of the Earth Kingdom. From there, Kilo's instructions are the only directions we've got."
"The coastline of theEarth Kingdom? Do we even know if any settlements exist?"
"Probably not. The areas are pretty swampy. Not a great living environment for them. Nothing like the Ice Palaces that we've built or the ones that will be built in the south."

what is destiny tuning?
destiny tuning basically is a technique that helps you focus on your desires, and put out a plan to manifest those desires. it's is sometimes referred to as"law of attraction on autopilot", in other words it kind of trains your subconcious to think positively of your desires, without you trying to.

Omega D3 Supplement
Fish Oil + Vitamin D3 + Astaxanthin
- 1,010 mg of EPA and DHA
- 2,000 IU Vitamin D3 per serving
- Contains antioxidant Astaxanthin
- Natural triglyceride form
- Lemon essential oil for freshness
- MSC certified sustainable and wild-caught
I'm excited to introduce Omega-D3, a powerful Omega-3 and Vitamin D3 combo.
Omega D3 provides research-based amounts of these critical nutrients at an incredible price.
If you were to buy a wild-caught fish oil ($29), a Vitamin D3 ($19) and Astaxanthin ($19) products as individual supplements, it would typically cost between $60 and $70. But, with Omega D3, you're paying 33% less and getting an amazing product.
Allow me to share why I believe supplementing with these 3 nutrients is essential to your health.
Why Everyone Should Take Omega-3s
According to evidence-based medical research, human clinical studies indicate that both the EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can support:
- a healthy response to inflammation.†
- brain health and mental focus.†
- heart health.†
- a healthy weight.†
- healthy skin.†
- a healthy mood.†
According to a recent study at Harvard University, coming up short on omega-3s is one of the top 10 health hazards in America, which can lead to an unhealthy immune system, heart, weight and more.†
So, why is it that not everyone experiences a meaningful benefit from taking fish oil, which is a popular source of omega-3s? Many fish oils on the market are highly processed or rancid, so by the time they are consumed, there are diminished benefits.† Some other fish oil brands have even been found to contain heavy metals such as mercury!
Vitamin D3 is Essential
Lacking in adequate vitamin D is fast becoming a health threat for the Western world. In fact, nearly 75 percent of American adults and teens don't get enough vitamin D.
A vitamin D shortfall has been linked to the following health problems:
- Unhealthy bones†
- Unhealthy immune system†
- Emotional ups and downs†
- Blood sugar imbalances†
- Unhealthy skin†
- Cognitive difficulties†
Vitamin D is essential to the body because, while it's called a vitamin, it's actually a pro-hormone that circulates in the body to support hormonal balance and immune system health.†
Here are some other ways vitamin D can support your health:
- Immune Health†
- Healthy Bones and Joints†
- Mood Support†
- Healthy Digestion†
- Cellular Health†
- Cognitive and Brain Health†
As you can see, this vitamin is crucial to health. Unfortunately, many companies use a synthetic form of vitamin D called vitamin D2 (not the preferred form of vitamin D3),or they don't mix the vitamin with fat, so it's not as well absorbed by the body.†
Omega D3 vitamin D3 is mixed with the healthy fats EPA/DHA to help it be better absorbed.†
Astaxanthin: Antioxidant Superstar
Astaxanthin is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants that has ever been discovered and has shown benefits for healthy aging.†
Astaxanthin is an antioxidant in the carotenoid family that gives salmon its red-orange color.
Research published in The Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism suggests astaxanthin can support a healthy immune system, healthy cells and a healthy response to inflammation.†
In short, astaxanthin is a powerful force for health!
Here's a quick summary of astaxanthin's benefits. It can support:
- Healthy skin†
- Vision health†
- Brain health†
- Endurance and exercise recovery†
- Immune system health†
- Healthy aging
Frequently Asked Questions About Omega D3 With Astaxanthin
I eat in a healthy way and take a multivitamin. How will adding this supplement benefit me?
Omega D3 can be added to an already healthy diet but fills the gap of coming up short on omega-3s and vitamin D3, plus it provides a powerful antioxidant (astaxanthin) all in one supplement.
What form is the fish oil contained in this supplement?
The fish oil is in a MSC-certified sustainable and wild-caught, natural triglyceride form.
I already use another Omega supplement. Why should I switch to yours?
The great news is that if you consume Omega-3s with Vitamin D3 and Astaxanthin together, the results are complementary. This supplement is a daily essential.

London, Sept.30 : The trailer of Cristiano Ronaldo's upcoming documentary titled 'Ronaldo's has been released, where the player can be seen giving the inside-out of his life.
The Real Madrid star jokingly says "Tell me who's the best player in the world? Me", and later added "Winning – that's the most important to me. It's as simple as that.", the Daily Express reports.
The 30-year-old football player's sacrifices and heartbreaks while pursuing his dream will also be showcased in the documentary.
The Portuguese international's mother can also be seen weeping in the trailer, as she recalls sending him away to Lisbon when he was just 12.
In 2014, Ronaldo was ranked first in the Forbes list of the world's highest paid football players with combined earnings of 73 million dollars. (ANI)

Has anyone been refused an epidural?(85 Posts)
I am 38 weeks and hoping to get an epidural this time, so just want to know if most people that want one get one, and how many are told "its too early" or "its too late". Or are persuaded not to have one.
That sounds pretty grim. Did you take it further?
Part of the reason I want to complain is to perhaps get a reputation as a trouble maker so I won't be left next time! In my own case I do think it was because of understaffing, but I have a friend who's an anaesthetist in another hospital and she reckons one of the midwives involved was trying to 'spare' me the epidural, so who knows?
As I said Chunderella, personally I think that writing a letter of complaint is purely a cathartic exercise for people like us who feel aggrieved.
I didn't take my particular complaints any further although the response from the Director of Midwifery I received didn't make me feel any better about my whole sorry experience on what was probably the most momentous day of my life.
The main thing was both my DS and I were fine at the end of it all and on that basis, I doubt they even consider that I've got justifiable grounds to complain in the first place!
Today, when I watch programmes like "One Born Every Minute" and see the midwives giving the women in labour care and attention and showing them humility and respect it makes me realise just how far removed it was from the care I received that day. I do wonder if having the cameras around makes a difference though...
Yeah there is a certain mentality of 'you got a healthy baby so what do you have to complain about' isn't there? I think that can be something that's used to diminish women's complaints regardless of what type they are: I should think it comes up as often for the women who are angry they weren't able to do things as naturally as they wanted as for those of us who were left to our own devices when we absolutely didn't want to be. That's not to say I'm not deeply and profoundly grateful for modern obstetric care and the NHS, I absolutely am and would defend the NHS with my last breath.
I didn't even get paracetamol or gas and air - by the time they'd ignored my pain relief requests for 3 1/2 hours I was fully dilated and almost ready to push! They did, however, offer me aromatherapy - poor very chirpy, sweet-natured midwife making the offer got somewhat short shrift about where I'd like to insert the ylang-ylang and jojoba at that point (disclaimer: I have no idea what actual oils they were proposing - those two just picked for comedic effect)!
As for complaining - I have a horrifically long story of how hideously I was treated - but I've never done the complaint as I think the pat "we're sorry you feel that way" denials they did anything wrong would be the final slap in the face and send me utterly into a tailspin again. Indeed me asking for pain relief marked me down as a "troublesome patient" in the words of one staff member on the ward - I don't dare get that on my file since I'm due with number 2 soon.
I was most pissed off at not being allowed loose on the gas and air - I'd been looking forward to that part!
This would be why I'm now utterly terrified of going through it all again with number 2 in a far-too-small-number-of-weeks-time.
Gas and air was pretty shit in my experience, you missed nothing. I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you though, Miaow. Are you givnig birth at the same place?
Same NHS trust (unfortunately) - different hospital, although all bets are off as to where I actually get to go since the maternity units regularly have to close their doors because of being full here... week after I was in they were sending women to the next city down the motorway (about 1 hrs drive), and recently I've heard tales of them sending them even further to one of the hospitals in the news for all the horror stories! If they try sending me there I'm tying my ankles together, shoving a cork in it and telling hubby to just put foot to the floor and drive me up north to near my parents' house!
I think some of these accounts are soooooo shocking.
The Care Quality Commission has a link where you can complain and they will look at the complaints when they inspect. Apparently it is very effective.
You have to search for the hospital and there is a top tab where you can give your feedback. Unlike hospital complaints, it will be external and direct to the inspecting body.
I don't think things get any better if you put up and shut up so I am definitely going to do a complaint of my own.
Forgot to say, you have to click on the hospital link - it is the second page which has the feedback tab.
I'd second the view that gas an air is rubbish. Although I'd clearly stated on my joke of a birth plan that I didn't want to use it, when I was refused the epidural they did offer me it as an alternative and strongly urged me to at least give it a try. Out of sheer desperation I did try it and as far as I'm concerned I might as well have been sucking on thin air for all the relief it offered. Even the midwide said, "I don't think that's going to be any good for you".
I would like to think that I would certainly have drawn the line at diamorphine/pethadine or whatever it is they call it. The mere thought of having that filled me with equal measures of horror and dread!
Thank god they whisked me off for a c-section before things got any worse!!
Diamorphine is fucking lovely Perri! I'm just sorry I'd had so much of it during my stalled first stage, so couldn't have any during the action itself.
Thanks for the link Ushy. I submitted my complaint today and will certainly use that if the response isn't satisfactory. My friend is a consultant anaesthetist at a different hospital and has strongly encouraged me to complain, she obviously feels as you do about put up and shut up.
Sounds like a plan Miaow. Hopefully things will be easier for you this time, it's not uncommon for women who had difficult first births to have much quicker and easier labours subsequently.
No I didn't get one. There wasn't enough staff as someone else was havin an emergency csec. All the shouting for one in the world wasn't gunna get me one. But it want that bad without in hiensight. I worked myself up way more about the birth than it was. DS is 9months
I gave birth in Sweden and I had "a walking epidural". It is just enough painkiller to take the edge off the contractions. I was still able to walk about just up until baby popped out. I had picked a birth centre that prefer natural birth so it took a while to convince them I wanted it. I still felt all the contractions but they were more manageable. I still felt the baby move down. Staying mobile meant that labour didn't slow down. I'm expecting #2 now and plan to have a similar form of pain relief. The birth was still very tough but once I got the epi it felt more manageable and I was calmer and able to concentrate on the job at hand. My baby was over 9lbs and I had very little tearing. I was able to use the bathroom within 30 mins of birth so I avoided a catheter.
I really thought I could do it without pain relief. I had read lots of books on hypnobirthing etc. and did meditations everyday in preparation. I thought I'd control it. During transition I realised that my mum was right. The pain is unlike anything you can imagine. Some women feel it more than others I guess. I felt it like it was an electric shock, my whole body reeled uncontrollably.
This time around I will go to a regular hospital because I don't want to fight for pain relief when the time comes.
I was refused one second time round as "too far gone" - this was a load of nonsense, really got the feel that they just thought second time mum, should all go ok, and labour was going fast so may as well not bother. Had an epidural with dd1 and enjoyed the birth. Took me a long time to get over my birth with dd2 as found it very frightening and painful - had no pain relief at all, not even gas and air. Still feel wronged by the hospital and midwife.
I was refused with dc4, apparently i was too far gone (i was about 5cms)!
Ask for one really early on, have it written in your birth plan & state the need of wanting one as soon as you go in
I did all that StrawberryGateaux and it counted for jack shit in the end. I had to manage with a couple of paracetamol and a crappy TENS machine before I was finally (and thankfully!!) whisked away for my emergency c-section at the end of my hideous 24 hour labour.
At the end of the day it's simple - if they haven't got the staff to monitor you while you've got an epidural in place they won't let you have one, even if there is an anaethetist available to put one in for you.
And if you complain about it, as I did, they'll simply trot out the line "the midwife in charge of the labour ward has the difficult task of balancing the needs of all the women in labour whilst maintaining a safe service."
I've heard many stories of my local hospital delaying epidurals till it's too late. I really don't want someone I don't know making such a big decision for me. Especially as neither of my midwives has given birth...
CalamityJ those decisions will no doubt be put down to "the midwife in charge of the labour ward balancing the needs of all the women in labour whilst maintaining a safe service."
Unfortunately, when your time comes, if you are giving birth in an NHS hospital you like all the rest of us will be at the complete mercy of those on duty who will be looking after you. Realistically, they will make all the decisions and call all the shots.
Your choices and wishes will only be accommodated if it fits in with the resources they have available to them. If this results in things going not quite as you would have liked them to, well, in a word, tough. They think that as long as you deliver a healthy baby and are OK yourself then you have little to complain about in the grand scheme of things.
Unfortunately for us, what is ultimately the most momentous day in our lives is just another day in the office for the staff on the labour ward and we're just another widget.
If you're giving birth at the Portland Hospital or any other private facility where you are paying handsomely for the service you get however, it will of course, be a totally different story!
Periwinkle fair point about resources but if having a difficult/painful birth ends up with PTSD then isn't there a false economy in terms of future resources being used to 'fix' the problems caused by a traumatic birth? Plus the long term implications on the baby's emotional wellbeing.
I was refused one 2nd time around. After being told it was too late. Although with hindsight I do think they were right, since dc was born about 15minutrs later, so I wouldn't have worked in time anyway. However at the time I wasn't aware of this.
I totally agree CalamityJ but they don't deal in "what ifs". They just deal with what's in front of them with the resources they have. And to be fair, what else can they do?
The NHS is under resourced and that's just a sad fact.
I was told too late with my second, I was in fucking agony and very
It was too late because the anaesthetist was busy helping a lady with a retained placenta. I told them to show me where she was, and I'd get the fucking thing out for her ( very rude I know - apologised after )
I later met the woman at a Baby group, and she said that she was on the phone to her MIL announcing the birth of her baby, and her MIL asked what the hell that noise was, and it was me screaming apparently. Oh how we laugh now
Great you can laugh about it now recall but your story demonstrates perfectly how the staff on a labour ward will (and must) make decisons and call the shots regarding your labour and delivery depending on what fits in with them rather than what fits in with you!!
To a certain extent yes Perriwinkle but it isn't all about the ward, and the Midwives, it is about the patients, and I think that sometimes the resources could be managed differently. I am well aware that there are second anaesthetists on call, and would have been called out if I had needed an emergency C section. I am a Nurse, and I was taught that pain is what the patient says it is....I think it was bad practice not to have given me adequate pain relief because it would have inconvenienced the staff.
mammacici i too had epidurals where I could feel all of the contractions and actively push - perfect pain control, I was in heaven and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of those those births.
I agree recallbut I think that's just the crux of the problem - the lack of resources in the NHS leads directly to bad practice.
I'm sure no nurse or midwife sets out to deliberately cause anyone under their care pain, distress or discomfort but they are ultimately constrained by the scarce resources they are given to juggle.
I was refused an epidural due to lack of resources and I was upset and angry - and still am now almost 13 years later. However, when I think of it in terms of the bigger picture, as a reasonable and rational person, as cross as I was, I realise that it was due to circumstances beyond their control.

We're having an issue where whenever we run some reports (not all) we get and error that tells us to either restart Spiceworks (tried it) or run spiceworks_package.exe and then follow up with another command. However, when we try to run that, it says "Could not find SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox" . We don't have firefox installed on this machine and would perfer to keep it that way. So has anyone run into this before or have any ideas how to fix it?
Nov 11, 2008 at 7:27 UTC
It looks like this was addressed in the 3.2 upgrade. Thanks Spiceworks! Everything looks wonderful :)
This topic was created during version 3.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Are these reports that you have created, stock reports, or Shared Reports?
Not that it should really matter - I don't think the reports are coded with anything that would make them browser specific.
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:16 UTC
Some are custom, some are shared, some or stock. There doesnt seem to be anything consistant in the errors. But the browser issue doesn't come up in spiceworks, but spiceworks_package.exe
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:35 UTC
Trying to duplicate the issue, what is the full command you are asked to use?
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:42 UTC
The command they tell us to use is "rake migrate" but we can't even get that far. Once we run spiceworks_package.exe we get a line the command prompt that says "Could not find SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox". Then closes shortly after. No chance to try that command,
Oct 13, 2008 at 10:12 UTC
Do you have any ZIP files located at C:\Program Files\Spiceworks\spiceworks_package.zip ?
If not, what application do you have currently associated with the ZIP extension?
Oct 13, 2008 at 10:17 UTC
Yes I do, it looks like it contains a bunch of logs.
Oct 13, 2008 at 10:56 UTC
OK, then it is actually working if the ZIP is created. I don't know what is causing the error - but I have FF installed where I am right now.
Are you doing this? http:/
If so, I did notice that my window also closes automatically once the packager has run, not giving you a chance to run the rake migrate command.
Oct 14, 2008 at 11:13 UTC
Yes, thats exactly what I'm trying to do.
Oct 14, 2008 at 12:31 UTC
OK. Let me see if we can get the right solution so that you can run the 'rake migrate' command.
Oct 14, 2008 at 1:26 UTC
Thanks Talon! I really appreciate all of your help :)
Oct 15, 2008 at 2:40 UTC
I've sent an email to our support staff to see if we can get a bit more information. One thought is to try running the packager as admin if you aren't logged in as such. Just right click spiceworks_package.exe and select 'Run as' from the list, you should be prompted to enter the admin credentials
Let me know what happens and I'll update when I hear back from our support team.
Oct 15, 2008 at 2:47 UTC
Thanks for the response Myshell. I know the account I'm using is admin but just for giggles I tried to run it as our domain admin and got the same result. Would screenshots or anything help?
Oct 15, 2008 at 2:51 UTC
Nah I know exactly what you're seeing. So just to make sure I understand, the first issue was that you had trouble running reports. So you were going to run the packager to send to support (I'm assuming) but then get the error mentioned above, correct?
I don't want to confuse two issues :-)
Oct 15, 2008 at 2:57 UTC
You got it :)
Oct 15, 2008 at 3:03 UTC
Thanks! OK, while I'm waiting on support for some feedback I'd like to touch upon the reports issue a bit.
Can you export one of the problem reports and attach it so I can test it out?
- Navigate to Reporting
- Select the problem report
- Click Export
- The report will be on .rptx format, attach that to your reply
Oct 23, 2008 at 7:43 UTC
Sounds good. Here is one of the bad reports, plenty more if you need them.
Nov 3, 2008 at 11:55 UTC
Not to be a pest, but are there any ideas floating out there?
Nov 11, 2008 at 7:27 UTC

Starke County is mourning the loss of a prominent community member who passed away this week. Michael Haugh of North Judson, 73, devoted his life to the service of others, building upon the communities in which he lived to improve the quality of life for his neighbors and everyone in the community.
Haugh moved to North Judson with his wife Joan and their four children in 1971, but before then he served the Highland community through different organizations. He was a board member for the community hospital in Munster, the parish council of Our Lady of Grace, and he was a member of the Sanitary District of Highland, the Jaycees, and the YMCA. In fact, in 1971, Haugh was named the Outstanding Young Man of the Year by the Jaycees.
While in Starke County, however, Haugh served as North Judson Town Board President, Starke County Councilman, County Auditor, and he also served on the pastoral council at Our Lady of Holy Cross. He was an active member of SS. Cyril and Methodius Parish Council, where he served as lector, Eucharist minister, teacher, pastoral council, and finance council.
The number of organizations benefited by Haugh's participation is nearly endless. Haugh was instrumental in seeking the Indiana Department of Commerce Community Focus Grant while chairman of the Building Fund Committee for the Council on Aging. The $290,000 grant allowed the Council on Aging to purchase and renovate the building at 311 E. Culver Road, which remains their place of business to this day.
Haugh was even given the honor of receiving the prestigious Henry F. Schricker Award on Nov. 12, 2005, commemorating his "service before self" attitude. He was also awarded the Older Hoosier of the Year distinction in 1999.
Mike and Joan Haugh were both awarded the "Distinguished Hoosier Award" on Sept. 3, 2010 – their 50th wedding anniversary.

Cheick Tiote was supposed to be off to the Chinese Premier League in January but the move didn't come off.
Cheick stayed on at Newcastle and since Rafa Benitez came a short seven weeks ago tomorrow, he has rejuvenated the 53 times capped Ivory Coast International defensive midfielder.
Rafa has used Cheick's massive experience to play just in front of the back four, as a means of strengthening what has been a weak defense at Newcastle for far too long.
Rafa Benitez and Cheick Tiote against Manchester City
And Cheick has turned in some top performances in the last few games and he seems to be a completely revitalized footballer who still has a lot to give to the side.
Rafa doesn't mess around and if you don't give 100% or take your chance when you get it in the first team – you simply don't stay in the team.
Jonjo Shelvey and Gini Wijnaldum have already found that out and are currently on the bench for Newcastle.
Cheick has been interviewed and you can see the Rafa way of managing his players in what Cheick says.
He was asked what Rafa has done differently since he arrived on Tyneside:
"He brings a different mentality. Everyone knows that if they don't perform they will be on the bench. That is good for the team. Everyone has to fight for their chance."
"We believe in ourselves and work hard as a team and we have to do the same thing."
"When he gives you a chance you have to fight for your place to stay in the team. If you are Tiote, or another player, you have to fight to stay in the Premier League."
"It is a very, very important game against Palace. We need to do everything. Everything we have been doing for the last four games. We have to win this game."
"We have Crystal Palace on Saturday, one game. We focus on that game and do everything we can. If we get three points we can think of the next two games."
"When I am fit and well I always play and do my best." "But when I am not 100% it is difficult. I always try my best."
"I have to improve and give everything 100%. That is what I am doing now."
You know – something tells us that Cheick is completely motivated right now.
We really hope Tiote can turn in another star performance for the side on Saturday against Crystal Palace.
If Rafa Benitez stays with us for next season, whether that's in the Premier League or the Championship, we would expect Cheick to see out the last year of his contract on Tyneside.
Rafa is already getting the best out of the 29 year-old Ivorian.
Comments welcome.

Hi, Bookies:
Though it lingered a bit at the start, Cheryl Strayed's Wild, her memoir about the three months she spent hiking the Pacific Crest Trail—more than 1,000 miles, on her own—outpaced the three other books in our June 2013 poll. Yolanda Wikiel, Real Simple senior editor extraordinaire, our June discussion leader (and my next-door neighbor here at RS), will get reacquainted with you later this week and set our reading schedule. See you then!

AN: While researching for another story, I came up with this idea. Surely its been done before…? First in a four part series. If you like happy, this ain't going to be it.
I do not own the characters.
Four Horsemen: Pestilence
Neo Queen Serenity leaned heavily on her staff in the cold rain. Her once pristine white dress, edged in the finest lace, was in shreds, tattered and torn – now an almost unrecognizable shade of sooty grey. She raised her brilliant blue eyes and looked across the smoky and soaked battlefield – they were still there. Like a nightmare she couldn't wake up from, the four men remained stationary astride the fearsome creatures. In another lifetime, they had been called the Shitennou – the Four Kings. A malevolent spirit had turned them into something unrecognizable.
What a fool I've been…
She would never know what prompted her to trust humans...what had kept her on this planet all this time.
What a ridiculous emotion. Love was not going to save anyone today. The man she had cared so deeply for had turned on her, his people, and the world.
There was only one hope left now.
The Senshi.
Although they had been at war all night and for weeks on end, their strength – the sacred power of four young women – was the last chance before the end of the world, the end of civilization, the end of an era.
The Apocalypse waited in the rising sun, poised to obliterate their way of life forever.
With everything possible opposing them, with all hope lost, the quartet stood stoically at their regent's side…behind them, the destroyed remains of their home, the once proud Crystal Tokyo. If there was a story that would survive this day, legend would tell how the foursome did not back down or hesitate.
A standoff.
And then smoothly, gracefully, like a stream down a mountainside, the first rider strode out, on a horse so white that it gleamed in the pale darkness of the early morning.
The gauntlet was thrown.
The rain stopped and turned into a dense mist around them, surrounding everyone, and obscuring the line between ground and sky.
Serenity summoned her strength and nodded to the aqua haired senshi on her left. Although she could not bear it – would not admit that she was sending a friend out to certain death, the Queen did what was required of her position. The slight girl stepped out of the ranks. Her companions continued staring on straight ahead. No one needed to say what was at stake on this day.
The man who rode the white steed was beautiful. More effeminate than his broad shouldered colleagues who waited on the dark hillside, his silky blonde hair flew wildly behind him, his blue eyes intent on the pale woman in front of him. In his hand, he steadily gripped a standard, with a tattered banner hanging from it.
The warrior called Mercury instantly worked out her disadvantage. He was a rider, mounted on a powerful horse, and she walked. Her knee high boots crunched the debris of war beneath her – bodies, weapons, a destroyed landscape. In stacked blue heels, she walked steadily forward – maintaining the same consistent pace as if she was taking an afternoon stroll in the garden.
She was the solider of Wisdom. Of Rationality.
She was Princess to Mariner Castle, so many miles away.
Deep down, as he bore steadily upon her, she recognized his face, but couldn't understand why. What if things had been different? What if, in another life, they had not been mortal enemies? Could they have been something more? Her mind didn't want to recognize the possibility.
Hearing the thundering hooves, she called forth the lute…the harp on which she could play the chords of a tidal wave if she chose to.
But would it be enough?
As she continued walking, she detached herself completely from the situation. With one last look at the hill, at her Queen, she let go of the very essence of herself, the Mercury Crystal. She felt it float free.
Across the field, the white horse picked up speed until it was galloping towards her. She could practically feel the heat from its flaring nostrils. In a fluid motion, the rider brought down the standard like a lance and pointed it at her.
She couldn't let him cross over to her friends…to everything she loved in the world. She wouldn't allow him to touch the weapon to the ground and start an epidemic. Summoning all the power she had, the girl once called Ami, waited as long as she dared, and then moved to play a special chord on the lyre, one she had never plucked before.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
The valley began to shake, and over the crest of a hill, created from nothing, a tidal wave appeared. Like a tsunami, a powerful surge of water poured over the land. Serenity and the other senshi were helpless to do anything but watch as their beloved friend's attack swept through and carried everything in its path away.
When the mighty torrent finally cleared, the man and the white horse were gone. The battlefield was once again clean – barren of any signs of battle, and the girl had disappeared like mist in the sun.
AN: Let me know if I should keep going.

Both Jeannette, Pa., quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Parkersburg, W.Va. offensive lineman Josh Jenkins did not become part of the Buckeye flock on signing day. Jenkins issued a verbal commitment to West Virginia while Pryor is still considering the Buckeyes and three other schools.
At his yearly press conference, OSU head coach Jim Tressel introduced two members of his class of 2008 that were already enrolled in school: offensive linemen Michael Brewster and J.B. Shugarts. Brewster is the self-appointed unofficial recruiter for the class, having forged relationships with nearly every incoming Buckeye.
Those relationships have included both Pryor and Jenkins. Although Pryor opted to wait to decide, Brewster said the two will continue their friendship during the coming weeks.
"I'm good friends with Terrelle," Brewster said. "I really don't cross that line in recruiting with him. We really don't talk about it. We talk a little, maybe once a month about it. He's just a good friend of mine."
Both Brewster and Shugarts made a trip to se Pryor play a recent basketball game, and Shugarts said he came away even more impressed by the future quarterback's athletic skills.
"Going to Terrelle's game was a lot of fun," he said. "It was really crowded. It was a really small gym. Terrelle's a phenomenal basketball player, so it was fun to see him go out there and dunk on some kids."
Shugarts and Brewster are rooming together, but they also have two other non-football roommates. One player that had been discussed as potential future roommate was Jenkins, but that is a bridge that has now been burned.
The five-star offensive lineman was reportedly down to WVU and OSU as his final three schools but said Florida State had passed the Buckeyes and finished second on his list.
During his press conference, Jenkins said he did not want to be part of the "Brew Crew" – the nickname given to OSU's class of 2008 – and instead wanted to be his own player.
His comments did not sit well with Brewster.
"It's probably more of a letdown that someone tells you stuff that you think you have a good shot and then they kind of cut you down by saying you were third in the running, not even second," Brewster said. "I guess it doesn't matter what number we were because we weren't first, but you just want guys that want to be Buckeyes. You don't want guys that want to act like it and then come here and be a cancer to the team.
"Good luck to him, but I plan on winning without him."
Pryor Affecting Henton? After an up-and-down year that saw him endure a suspension from the team before being reinstated and eventually moving his way up to No. 2 on the depth chart. Antonio Henton's role with the team appeared uncertain heading into his sophomore season.
With a potential commitment looming from Pryor, rumors began to circulate that Henton was looking into transferring out of the program. But according to quarterbacks coach Joe Daniels, those rumors were just that.
"No, I don't believe it would," he said when asked if Pryor committing would have an effect on Henton.
The Young Wide Receivers Last season, OSU had to replace two first-round NFL draft picks in Anthony Gonzalez and Ted Ginn Jr. as well as departed senior Roy Hall. This year, the Buckeyes were not due to graduate any seniors, although wide receivers coach Darrell Hazell confirmed that juniors Albert Dukes and Devon Lyons will graduate this spring and not return to the team.
That leaves a young core of wide receivers who all stand to make significant strides from last season.
"I really look forward to helping those guys take another step in their performance," he said. "I felt they took a huge step last year and I think we can get a whole lot better. I think the bottom half of the group – Dane Sanzenbacher, Taurian Washington and Ray Small and Devon Torrence – we can bring that half of the group up and we've got a chance to be pretty good."
Of the aforementioned four players, only Small is not a sophomore. Leading receivers Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline will be a senior and a junior, respectively, and they will welcome three members of the class of 2008 into their fold.
Of the group, though, Hazell said this offseason is a big one for Small, a junior who showed flashes of being a big-time player during his sophomore season.
"It has to be," he said. "He has to make some tremendous strides in a lot of areas. I think he needs to be more consistent in everything that he does. I think that's probably the key for him is just making sure that you're doing the same thing over and over and over again the correct way."
DeVier Posey, Jake Stoneburner and Lamaar Thomas will all be joining that young receiver corps. Stoneburner, whose size has led some to speculate that he will be moved to tight end in college, will apparently remain as a wideout.
At least, as long as Hazell has anything to say about it.
"The one place we won't put him at is tight end," he said with a smile. "We will not play him at tight end."

Its already been rumored to be MDZ + Prospect for ROR, Miller would be the type of guy the Avs would want.
It was also rumoured that Sather balked at the "+". I don't see him balking at the counter and then accepting it.
The minor difference in value from MDZ and ROR, isn't a prospect like Miller. Miller for O'byrne doesn't work for us either.

But I would certainly hope that Sherman would want more on top of it. I want Sherman to get the value he and his team have decided that O'Reilly is worth in a trade.
Some Ranger fans would like ROR+ for MDZ. Doesn't mean that's his actual value. Doesn't make them right either. We all want to see our teams get maximum value, but with all things considered, you have an unsigned player who's only had 1 50 pt season under his belt and is barely outproducing MDZ in his career.

Don't for a second think this is lost on Sather. If that's enough to get him to make a deal is anyones guess and it depends on a lot of things, but O'Reilly is pretty much a perfect fit on the Rangers. They have a coach, GM and a fan base that loves skilled blue collar guys and that's what you get in O'Reilly. In a year, he'd be as popular as Callahan.
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ROR, enough to move a guy like MDZ for.
Richards - Stepan - Boyle/Miller - Halpern
ROR would solidify the spine of this team. We have Staal and McDonagh who are ultimately superior to MDZ on the left side as well. Doesn't make him expedible, but for the right guy I wouldn't hesitate. Imo, ROR's that right guy. He reminds me a lot of Callahan, and I think the two players combined would wreck havoc against the big boys in the league. Ultimate two-way shutdown line that can produce offensively as well.

You might like MDZ enough to say to yourself, this isn't a bad trade straight up. Hope you watch more than 1 game though.

Is he a legit top-2? Hard to say since he's never really had to be that guy in New York with Staal, Girardi, and McDonagh doing a lot of the heavy lifting. I truly believe he's a legit top-4 guy, and really, I think he'd do fine alongside EJ if that's where the Avs chose to put him.
On a side note, it sucks so bad that Sauer is STILL suffering from PCS. With him and McIlrath in the lineup, the Rangers blueline would be one of the most talented and toughest in the league.
A lot of people credited Sauer to McDonagh's success his rookie year. Sauer is a terrific player to have on your blue-line. Smart, physical, and defensively sound. He plays mistake free hockey. Hope he can make a comeback, but doesn't look good. He's still having PCS.
MDZ is not a #2 right now in his career. He's a second-pairing dmen though. He's made giant strides defensively. Terrific outlet pass, and an ideal PP QB. He's starting to shoot more which is what we've crying for. Decent shot, nothing crazy.
He's not a nightmare defensively. Not even close. Anyone who's watched MDZ would say he gets the job done on the back-end. What's promising is the edge he plays with. You don't see a lot of Physical, Gritty PMD in this league. You have that with MDZ. He plays with a chip on his shoulder.

He's also more of an outlet passer than a pure puck rusher like Liles, and seems to have a harder slapper, and a more accurate wrister.
He may not be a defensive stud, but he's more than just that soft one dimensional PMD like Liles.
This sounds like a Rangers fan giving his analysis on MDZ. It's scary how accurate of an assessment this is. Closet Ranger fan, Foppa?

Mom's Best Brownies
Recipe by Goji Girl
My mom has made a variation of these brownies as long as I can remember. She doesn't know where she got the recipe from. I substituted whole wheat flour and honestly no one can tell it isn't made with white flour! You can substitute plain applesauce for part of the oil, but I like to use 1 c oil (as my mom does) with no applesauce - faster to measure, and it is a dessert after all! I hope you enjoy!
Top Review by crunchymomof2
I made this for a family reunion & it turned out well. I used the 1/2 applesauce & it tasted like a healthy treat. I also put a whole bag (2C) of dark chocolate chips & it was outstanding.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup cocoa
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unrefined coconut oil or 1 cup butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- chopped nuts (optional)
- peanut butter (optional)
- chocolate chips (optional)
- flavored chips (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and 'flour' 9x13" pan, using cocoa powder instead of flour. (This will eliminate any white spots on bottom of brownies).
- In a large bowl, stir together cocoa, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Add oil, eggs, vanilla, and any optional ingredients. Mix well, stopping as soon as all ingredients are incorporated - excessive mixing will cause a cake-like texture.
- Pour into prepared 9x13" pan.
- Bake at 350 for 27-30 minutes. Test with toothpick, the brownies are done when no batter clings to it. Remove slightly earlier if you like a gooey, eat with a fork brownie.

Using The White Paper Test
Using The White Paper Test
The white paper test is something every faceter should know and use, this is particularly true for a new cutter or somebody who does not have a lot of experience buying rough. It is essentially an easy way to get a close approximation of what (color and how saturated) a piece of rough will cut like.
To do the Test
Take a piece of rough you want to check and put it on a white piece of paper in NORMAL daylight.
No light behind the rough, and get it away from any bright light source (like a show dealers halogens in their cases) try to make sure that it is mixed light (incandescent and florescent).
Left: As you can see the Tourmaline crystals in the picture easily pass the test. You can see good color.
What you see in good average day light is fairly close to what the stone is going to look like when it is cut.
If it the stone is black looking with no (or very little) color, you do not want it.
You want rough that will show at least some color flash when you test it this way. Also, it is a good idea to look at the rough this way under each type of light (incandescent and florescent) and check to see what color(s) it is and how it looks, especially if you are buying Sapphires or Spinels.
A good habit to get into is to do this test on rough you are cutting and then compare the results, it will help you when it comes time to buy rough in a big way.

Killer's solicitor should have been present during garda interviews, Court of Appeal told
The Court of Appeal has been asked to hold that a man jailed for a "brutal" double murder in 2010 was entitled to have his solicitor present during garda interviews.
Gary Howard (27), of Emerald Street in Dublin's North Inner City, had pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to murdering Patrick Mooney (58) and Brendan Molyneux (46) on January 10 2010. Both men were found shot dead in Mr Mooney's flat at Pearse House, Hanover Street, Dublin.
Howard was found guilty of their murder by a jury following a six-week trial and was given two life sentences by Mr Justice Paul Carney on May 25 2012.
Howard moved to appeal his convictions yesterday on grounds that his solicitor should have been present during garda interviews, that he did not get access to his solicitor despite three requests and that he was put under psychological pressure by gardaí before making admissions which he later retracted.
Counsel for Howard, Seán Gillane SC, told the three-judge Court of Appeal that the case concerned a "brutal" double murder of two individuals in 2010.
Howard was arrested and had maintained his right to silence during garda interviews until a statement was put to him which, it had been alleged, would implicate him in the murder.
Mr Gillane said the only contact Howard had with his solicitor that day was a six-minute telephone conversation conducted several hours before that "breakthrough interview".
After the statement had been read to Howard, he asked the gardaí three times if he could see his solicitor. Mr Gillane said his requests were acknowledged by the two interviewing gardaí but it was not communicated to the member in charge.
The failure to communicate his repeated request was "legally inexcusable," Mr Gillane said. Immediately afterwards, Howard made admissions without receiving the advice he had sought.
Citing the Supreme Court decision on a detainee's reasonable access to a solicitor while in custody, known as Gormley and White, Mr Gillane submitted that Howard's solicitor should have been present during the garda interviews.
Without the presence of his solicitor as was his right, Mr Gillane submitted, Howard did not get a trial in due course of law.
Mr Gillane said the right to silence was the right of an accused not to incriminate himself but Howard's exercise of that right was depracated, mocked and suppressed at each and every twist and turn.
His questioning amounted to oppression in the classic sense, Mr Gillane said, and on a stand alone basis would merit the exclusion of those interviews from the trial.
Howard was told by the interviewing gardaí that he should 'take the rap', that he was the reason his pregnant girlfriend had been arrested and that he was keeping her in custody, nobody else. Reference was made to hospital, how long she had been pregnant and how Howard could 'drag her out' of custody, Mr Gillane said.
He was also told that his uncle and father were in custody and 'maybe his whole family'.
It was "outrageous" to say that to somebody in custody not in communication with their family, Mr Gillane said. All of this happened while Howard was attempting to exercise his right to silence.
Further remarks by gardaí left Howard with a Hobson's choice, Mr Gillane said, a point picked up on by the trial judge – that he better say something or he'll get a bullet in the head from the IRA.
Mr Justice John Edwards asked Mr Gillane if he was suggesting that gardaí should close their notebooks when met with 'no comment' from somebody they strongly suspected of a serious crime. Mr Gillane said "no" but added that the right should be treated with dignity.
Mr Justice George Birmingham put it to Mr Gillane that his suggested line of questioning would not "achieve much" to which counsel said: "Dare I say it, well and good".
Mr Gillane said Ireland would join all other common law jurisdictions in determining that this particular line of questioning was "beyond the pale" because it exercised huge psychological pressure on a detainee.
It was even more wrong now that Gormley was understood – that a solicitor should have been there to prevent all of this. This could not and does not happen 100 miles across the water in Ireland's sister jurisdictions, Mr Gillane said.
Counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Brendan Grehan SC, said Howard's detention fully complied with the stated position in Gormley and White.
Mr Grehan said Howard never requested to have his solicitor present for questioning and that effectively "is the end of it". If Howard had such a right he never requested it.
There simply was no factual basis or legal basis that would cause the Court of Appeal to expand beyond the ratio of Gormley and White, Mr Grehan said.
He said respectfully that some of Mr Gillane's submissions were more appropriate for the Supreme Court – he was submitting that the law as stated in Gormley and White should go further.
On the submission that Howard was oppressed by gardaí, Mr Grehan said the gardaí were seeking to focus his mind on certain issues.
It was "part and parcel" of a seven day detention that the gardaí did not fold on the first day and leave matters be.
When asked in the first interview why he killed the two men, Howard told the gardaí that he didn't kill anybody; 'You're getting paid to find out so fuck off and do it,' he told them, the court heard.
If the gardaí's hands were tied because an accused is able to tell them what to do and how to do it, trial courts wouldn't have a lot to do in the future but what happend in society might be a different question, Mr Grehan said.
Mr Justice George Birmingham, who sat with Mr Justice Alan Mahon and Mr Justice John Edwards, said the court would reserve judgement.

Ocean view from the room on higher floor up from 14th floor. Onsen bath on 3rd floor is an experience with outside bath with not much view. A direct fast boat to Miyajima, Eda and Kure with two days pass port boat ride is convenient. Minor is no WIFI connection (only LAN cable) free internet connection in the room. Bit far from the station but it's in a small peninsula almost like an island, so quiet and nice beach. Services are not international standard but it's Hiroshima and fairly good will services were there. Rooms are not too big but a fantastic view. We enjoyed staying there.
