"I saw immediate results. No more pain!"
My 3 ½ year old son had been suffering from recurrent ear infections with
perforated ear drums and high temperatures. I was afraid of long term hearing loss. I had taken him to the doctor
numerous times but was only prescribed antibiotics, which did not seem to work.
When I first got your e-book, I tried the garlic on the soles of his feet and
the onion poultice. And I saw immediate results. No more pain!
He has now been on the remedies you recommend for a month and is doing so great
and fantastic. He hasn't complained of any more ear ache, thank God.
With gratitude

Dear Ear Infection Sufferer or Concerned Parent,
If you or your child are sick and tired of feeling
miserable and run down, if your ear is red raw and
swollen and you've finally had a gut full of ear
infections... then this could be the most important
letter you've read all year.
Here's why...
There is now a safe and easy way to stop an ear infection in its tracks... without undergoing expensive treatment and without taking a fistful of drugs either.
Please let me explain...
My name's Elizabeth Noble and I'm a qualified
naturopath. I know first hand just how
terrible it can be to suffer from the relentless pain of
an ear infection.
I know, because several years ago, I was where you are now.
In my case I was struggling to help my very sick 2 year
old son, who was battling with painful recurrent ear infections.
Joshua was just 3 months old when he experienced his
first ear infection. It had started off with a simple cold, but
quickly progressed into a full blown ear infection.
He woke in the middle of the night clutching his little ear whilst screaming till he was bright red in the face. There was nothing we could do to console him.
We rang the local hospital who advised us to wait till morning and take him to the doctor. We spent the night rocking him, pacing the floor boards, patting his back - we tried everything to relieve his pain. I was at my wits end and my heart broke to see him in so much pain.
At first light we were on the doctor's doorstep, desperate for advice. The doctor prescribed painkillers and antibiotics, and within a few hours things had seemed to settle down. Within a few days we thought he was over it, but in less than one month the ear infection had returned! Back to the doctor and another prescription of antibiotics. And the same again six weeks later.
This cycle continued, and by the time he was 14 months old Joshua had taken at least five rounds of antibiotics!
The doctors did not seem to have a clue. We were sent on a futile merry-go-round of doctors appointments, medical tests, more antibiotics and dangerous drugs.
Some medications made Joshua as sick as a dog with diarhhorea, nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness, thrush and bright red skin rashes. Some drugs would seem to give him relief for a few days, then the inevitable cold and ear infection would return.
It was at this point that the paediatrician diagnosed enlarged adenoids and tonsils which were causing breathing problems and sleep apnoea. Dutifully we followed the doctor's advice and had them surgically removed in the hope that it would also end the vicious cycle of infections. Their removal certainly helped with his sleep patterns but did nothing to cure his ear infections.
The last straw came in the dead of night, just before our annual beach holiday up to the Gold Coast in Queensland. Joshua woke up screaming and inconsolable. He had a high fever, and again was clutching his little red ear. In despair and frustration we had to cancel our flights and holiday accommodation. Our older 6 year old son was devastated that his holiday had been ruined.
It was at that moment that I swore I had to find the reason why Joshua was suffering recurrent ear infections. I would do anything to get him off the useless rounds of immune-draining antibiotics and relieve his pain.
I was baffled as to why Joshua seemed so vulnerable to an ear infection. He was still being breast fed, he was being introduced to fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables and he had not gone near any potential allergens like cows milk or wheat. We had even agreed to have his adenoids and tonsils taken out. All to no avail. What was even more confusing was that his older brother had never had an ear infection in his life, and had never needed antibiotics for anything.
I was desperate for an answer. I was on a quest, a journey, a search to rid my son of recurrent ear infections once and for all. I threw my heart and soul into it.
My first step was the library where I spent hours
poring over library books, studying research papers and
devouring medical journals for the latest breakthrough
information. I interviewed doctors and natural health
experts, and quizzed hundreds of patients on their
The facts showed that:
The majority of ear infections are caused by viruses, which antibiotics are useless against!
When antibiotics are repeatedly used for middle ear infection in children, it increases the chances of further infection by 200 - 600%! (Journal of the American Medical Association). This simply means that children receiving antibiotics are more likely to have a recurrence compared with children receiving no antibiotics - children whose own immune systems are dealing with the infections.
Repeated courses of antibiotics increases the chances that surgery will ultimately be needed (Archives of Otorhynolaryngology)
90% of children get better just as fast whether they take antibiotics or not. There is no significant differences in speed of relief of pain, how quickly temperature returns to normal or how soon ear discharge stops
In adults with chronic middle ear infection there is no benefit whatever from antibiotic use (British Medical Journal)
Antibiotics have nasty side effects like destroying all the good and bad bacteria from the body and leading to immune suppression, gastrointestinal problems like bloating, diarrhoea and thrush, and potential allergies.
These were things I did not want my child to suffer!
I was really mad at my doctor for not explaining the ineffectiveness of antibiotics and the side effects of taking them. I felt angry and guilty at myself for putting my child through so many rounds of immune-draining and expensive antibiotics. I had a sinking feeling that my child's recurrent ear infections might have affected his hearing and development.
I then passionately researched every possible natural treatment for ear infections that I could find. I studied how to boost up my child's immune system so he wouldn't succumb to every infection that came along. I discovered that the majority of children with chronic ear infections are able to avoid surgery by avoiding foods to which they are allergic to.
I also learned about many very simple natural remedies that start to work on the painful symptoms almost immediately. I wish I had known this from the start. It would have saved a lot of pain and heartache.
And when I did, the results were outstanding!
Joshua was no longer fussy and irritable. He started to thrive and put on weight. His colds and viral infections became a rarity and they no longer progressed into ear infections. He became a happier child with a lovely, outgoing personality. I was thrilled.
Joshua is now 7 years old and has not come down with an ear infection for over 4 years. In fact, he rarely gets sick at all. When he does pick up a sniffle or cold we have the right ammunition to hit it on the head before it progresses to an ear infection. It works every time with simple, inexpensive remedies you can make at home or get through a health food shop.
I did not stop with just treating Joshua. Next I used
this natural approach with the immune-suppressed
children and adults I see in my clinic. The amazing accolades from
my patients proved how effective the drug-free approach
"His ear was almost
For the last few weeks my son Joey, a young 27 year old tenor, with a group
called "DESTINE" has had a cold. Just a few days ago he developed an
ear ache, a swollen ear and loss of hearing. He was diagnosed with serous otitis
media (middle ear infection).
After following your therapy advice, Joey's ear got
better just before flying to Disney World to open the Marie Osmund show.
He told us the ear was almost 100 percent!
Your help was so effective, and helpful.

"I felt the pressure in my
head recede"
I suffered an acute outer ear
infection in my right ear. I had two sets
of antibiotics and antibiotic ear drops.
However I still had a feeling of pressure build up in my
head. My forehead often felt tight as if something was
puffing up the skin in that region. I also experienced
lower jaw ache and a tender feeling inside the ear. I
found myself constantly trying to equalize my ears, but
there was never much relief.
After reading your ear infection e-book at 1am in the
morning, I drank copious amounts of your hot lemon recipe, and for the first time felt the pressure in my head
I made up the fib chicken soup and loaded it up with
heaps of garlic, cayenne and turmeric. It tasted great
and blew away a lot of the congested feeling.
I got onto the supplements and am now trying to drink 2l
of water each day.
Now 6 weeks later the pain in my ear has receded. The
ear infection has cleared completely. I had my hearing
tested and its all working fine, and equalizing

"Thank you for giving us
back our beautiful son"
We sought help from Elizabeth for
our 9-year-old son after he had suffered many months of
ill health which conventional medicine had been unable
to offer any assistance with.
He was born 6 weeks prematurely and suffered numerous
ear infections necessitating many courses of antibiotics
as a baby and toddler. He also required grommets on two
occasions and removal of his adenoids aged 6 years.
Whenever he had an upper respiratory infection he also suffered from croup,
often requiring treatment with steroids.
It was at this point that we first took our son to see
Elizabeth. We
commenced a regimen of supplements and modified his diet
to avoid sugar, preservatives and colors.
Within three weeks we had a healthy, active little boy who was behaving
Other people have also noticed the great improvement in
his health and stamina. His soccer coach asked us 'what
we had him on' about 6 weeks after starting Elizabeth's
treatment regimen.
Thank you so much for giving us back our beautiful boy,
Elizabeth and saving our sanity!! My only regret is that
I didn't know about you sooner.

"His ear drums have healed and drained amazingly..."
Charlie who is 15 months old, has had 6 ear infections, starting at 7 months.
With this 6th infection, he was put on a course of Augmentim (10 days), then
Suprax (3 days) and now Zithromicyn. I had been managing his fever via Ibuprofen
and Paracetamol and more recently Voltaren and paracetamol. His fever went, but
he was in a lot of pain - throwing his head back and screaming.
After reading your ebook, it seems I should have managed this many other
ways. He has now had his one month of daily acidophillus and I'm continuing on
his cod liver oil, vitamin C and zinc. I have switched him to camel's milk and
he loves it.
We have had 2 check ups with the doctors since his last infection. His ear
drums have healed and drained amazingly.
I can't thank you enough for your help with Charlie. Everything you have said
makes complete sense and I truly believe it has made the world of difference.
For the fluid to be gone from his ears is just great.
Kindest regards

"This is the first time her ears have been
completely clear"
"My daughter Victoria is 13 and
is a competitive swimmer so she swims every day. She
suffers greatly from allergies that continually inflame
her eardrums, causing a build up of the fluid, dizziness
and discomfort. Victoria takes medication for allergies
and has had to have several courses of antibiotics.
Victoria has now been taking the supplements you suggested.
She has the wheat and dairy free diet which has cut her
mucus production down drastically. I am also giving
Victoria the Muellin ear drops and they seem to be
taking most of the sore red ear away".
She has been doing really well. We had an
appointment with the ear, nose and throat specialist for
a review and she had no fluid in her ears. This is the
first time since the beginning of the year that they had
been completely clear.
I think Victoria will try and stick
with her diet as when she is mucus free she has more
energy and her swimming benefits.
This weekend was the High School State Championships and
her team came first in the Medley relay with Victoria
doing Backstroke. She also managed to take 3 seconds off
her Butterfly and Backstroke and get into the final so
she said to me 'it all pays off'.
Many Thanks"

"I feel much better informed now"
Thank you so much for quickly responding and sending the
e-book. I love the e-book. There is so much information
and in great detail. It answered every question I had
about ear infections and I feel much better informed
I tried the recipe with olive oil, tea tree and lavender
overnight and it made a big difference. It was a book
well worth purchasing for the knowledge and reassurance
I gained from it.
Thank you

"I found your
e-book so informative and comprehensive"
"I am a Drama teacher so I constantly use my voice.
I have been plagued by a persistent sore throat and sore
ears. I have tried many different treatments - all to no
avail. I found your book so informative and
I felt that instead of feeling bamboozled by my Doctor's
diagnosis I could actually start to understand what was
at the source of my problems and how it is within my own
hands to help myself to combat it.
Thanks Elizabeth".

"I am telling
all my friends"
I am now 72 and have
suffered from ear infections and ear pain for years.
Every time I see the doctor she prescribes more
antibiotics, which don't seem to help. Your e-book is
fantastic. I am taking the supplements and doing the
home treatments with good results. I am telling all my
friends about it. Thank you for your help.
Audrey M. Sydney, Australia
"I believe its
starting to work already!"
You have done a
great job in compiling so much information together. It
is very knowledgeable and I believe it has started to
help already!
After finishing my antibiotic, I was good for a few days
but then felt like the ear infection was coming back again.
I immediately took another dose of vitamin C and put
your suggested remedy in my ear. I began taking your
recommended dose of vitamin C every few hours. I awoke
feeling better the next day.
Thank you again. I feel good knowing that there is
someone out there that I can converse with about my
problem. I truly felt your information was well worth
the price I paid. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely and gratefully yours,
Beverly B, Millville, Pennsylvania USA
"It really helped me today
while I was at the doctor"
My baby has just turned 1 and he has already had 3 middle ear infections in less than 6
months. I had felt quite helpless.
It was very kind of you to write back so soon. Yesterday
I literally swallowed your book! It really helped me
today while I was at the doctor.
With your information I was able to ask the doctor to
try to first take out the possibility of an allergy
before giving my baby more antibiotics. He agreed so I
am trying soy instead of cow's milk. ...I have also
found a homeopathic doctor and am making an appointment
next week. Thanks so much for your help.
Kind Regards, Daniela, Mexico
"My kids' ear infections
have cleared up"
I've been using your
methods for the last two weeks - and my kids' ear
infections have cleared up! (I have a 2 and a half year
old and a baby).

plan on using your suggestions for many moons to come!

The itching has gone and
the dizziness is nearly gone...
I have to say that I have made big progress after adding
the recommended supplements
The itching in my ear has completely disappeared which is great. And the
dizziness is also nearly gone (80%). I do feel much better.
I thank you once again for your kind attention,
Very best regards,
Dan van den Enden, Bankok Thailand
I'm feeling much better!
When I purchased your anti-inflammatory nutrients, along with the Gingko
biloba, it was only a day, and I could really feel the difference.
I had a few days this week where I felt the labrynthitis and fatigue had
subsided completely. Thanks again, I really do feel MUCH better!

The vertigo has started to
subside, my hearing is good...
I am an adult male who makes a living as an audio engineer. I have been fighting
an inner ear infection for 2 months now, with ear discharge ceasing after the
first month, but that being replaced by vertigo and tinnitus for about the last
30 days.....
I have been following the program that you recommended. The vertigo has started
to subside after 7 days of the vitamin regimen that you recommended. The pitch
of the tinnitus has changed from about 4000 hz, to around 9 hz. My hearing in
the affected ear is good from approx 400hz to 16,000hz. Thanks so much for your

If you are bulking, I think you would go ahead and drink whole milk since you want the calories.
If you are trying to maintain or get cut, you would probably want to go to the lower fat milk like Jodie said above, or cut it out entirely for a while.

Generally, even when bulking I usually suggest you stick to skim milk. Although it has less calories the calories you miss are mostly from saturated fats and you are better off replacing them with healthier sources.Originally Posted by troubador
2% milk is almost like drinking whole milk.
If you are an extreme ectomorph I see no reason not to include whole milk in your diet,if not,I would opt for skim.

My Forum:
Go for whole milk if you like the extra fat. Otherwise, drink skim and get extra calories elsewhere.
Isn't whole milk lower on the G.I. scale than skim milk? The insulin response is less, right? I always stick to skim milk or 1%, when bulking or cutting. Whole milk, IMO, is too rich.
ive drank skim milk for so long, whole milk tastes like im drinking butter.
I drink 1-2%.

Whole milk. And when I get back to cutting fats, I will opt out of Milk altogether. Skim tastes nasty to me.
Isn't it amazing? My brothers think skim milk tastes like water, I think the milk they drink tastes like butter.Originally Posted by sabre81
so 1,2% or skim seems to be the most choice.whats an ectomorph, sounds like a kids super hero character.been on the skim. i'll probally stick to that.
An ectomorph is what is known as a 'somatotype' - which is a classification system used in relation to the genetic basis of your 'body type' ... It is basically a way of catagorising you in terms of bone structure, natural muscle mass, metabolic rate, propensity to gain fat etc etc (and it actually goes as far as including things such as the shape of your fingers and the condition of your skin and hair!).Originally Posted by troubador
There are three basic somatotypes - Ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph (although it is a rare individual that is a perfect match to only one somatotype - it is much more complex that that and most people are a mixture)...
But ectomorps are those individuals that are naturally lean. They are what people think of when you talk about a typical 'hard gainer'. That is - Long lean limbs, small boned, small muscle bellies, have a hard time gaining muscle, but do not have a lot of fat on them either... Oh yeah - and they can eat enough to support a small army with no effect on their waistline!
Hence the comments along the lines of 'if you are an ectomorph then drink up'.
Drink whole milk for cutting or bulking as long as it fits in your daily caloric plan.
I say 1-2% milk. I don't like the excess saturated fat in whole milk. It can't hurt since you are bulking, but I prefer 1-2% milk myself.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

#1 NBC Edits Out Olympics Tribute to Victims of Terrorism07-28-2012, 02:01 PM
While Americans enjoyed the opening of the London Olympics, NBC made an editorial decision that baffled viewers and outraged others. The Olympics opening included a somber tribute to the victims of terrorism, but Americans were instead treated to an insipid interview by Ryan Secreast.
Why would they do this? What is so offensive by acknowledging that there are evil people in this world who are willing to kill innocents to further their political aims?
Watch the edited out segment at Deadspin.com, which broke the story.
NBC has been pummeled with complaints and offered this paltry excuse for an explanation:
NBC spokesman Christopher McCloskey said it was never the intention to stream the ceremony. He said it was a complex entertainment spectacle that does not translate well online because it requires context.Good men sleep peaceably in their beds at night because
rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Real superheroes don't wear capes. They wear dog tags.
NBC should be shut down. The seem to enjoy editing things.

07-28-2012, 04:46 PMSo let me guess...they didn't however edit out the tribute to the NHS or the special tribute to the first lesbian kiss on the BBC?
If they substituted the insipid interview with Michael Phelps, it's ironic that he lost his first race today. Last night I was infuriated that they stuck that interview in the middle of the opening ceremonies. I hope they never get to broadcast the Olympics again. Everything that they do is suspect.
" To the world you are just one more person, but to a rescued pet, you are the world."
"A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!"
Phelps or NBC?
NBC's coverage of just about everything has now become suspect. They cannot be considered a reputable news source as long as the people who directed the selective editing of news for partisan outcomes continue to run the place, and that will not change until NBC has lost so much market share that even their leadership realizes that they have to make a change.--Odysseus

Yeah, another website done in black with white text, greeeeeat.
Fender makes so many variants of the same damn products, I wonder how many people can actually distinguish among: * American * American Deluxe * American Special * American Vintage * Artist * Classic * Custom Artist * Deluxe * Highway One * Showmaster Elite * Special Edition * Standard * Time Machine * Vintage Hot Rod
absurd! 21-Jun-07 07:23 AM madmax Said...
I haven't visited the site, so I wonder if they now have a way to ask questions via email. Once I wanted to know the thickness of the heavy 351 guitar picks. I went to the site, and instead of a way to email the question, the customer support page said to submit the question on the forums. FTS! I had to go to the UK site to submit my question(it's 1.0mm btw).
"Fender makes so many variants of the same damn products"
They should combine the fetures of the Roadhouse Strat and Big Apple Strat and call it the Road Apple Strat. Do a Google search if that didn't make you laugh! 21-Jun-07 08:21 AM Comments are closed while we transition to Disqus |

on bass I'll do it for some old country licks
on bass I'll do it for some old country licks
'Poor' technique is a load of bullshit. Some of the best players have 'poor' technique and they can shred your face off
I personally find it really difficult to play with my thumb always on the back of the neck, simply because my hands are so big. I was taught to play with 'proper' technique on classical guitar but found it impossible when I started playing electric. Of course sometimes it's necessary to play some sections with big stretches or whatever, but most of the time I just do what's comfortable.
shredding is poor technique
Gilbert does play correctly, by the way. Emmanuel doesn't, but he mostly just hits his guitar
Gilbert's thumb is often around the neck, and his fingers are nowhere near parallel to the frets, aka 'bad' technique. If you actually listen toTommy, you'd realize that he does intact shred like a mofo when he wants to.
Does it really matter how you play, how thin/ick the neck is as long as it sounds good?
Doesnt matter how you play, but thin/thick does affect tone.
Then again, I hold firm that tone is in the fingers with guitar and amp adding miniscule differences compared to the fingers.
well I don't know about you but I'd kinda rather swap pickups rather than swap fingers
that sounds painful
The amp makes a world of a difference. Even if you're just playing clean. A Peavey 5150 and a Vox will NOT sound the same, even played by the same person five minutes apart. The woods in the guitar make less of a difference than the amp and pickups, and it's a difference I don't really notice at all, but yes that would be a miniscule augmentation to the tone.
That said, yes there is an awful lot of tone control in your fingers as well.
wood makes absolutely no difference
How do you figure?
I don't like shredding. It's not rhythmic and it's rarely melodic.
I think that just describes bad shredding.
I'm talking about metal and neoclassical shredding and metal and neoclassical shredding both sound bad. blues, bluegrass, jazz, and country shredding are completely different from metal and neoclassical shredding.
I can sweep pick a harmonic minor scale too but I'm not going to because it sounds terrible
Different strokes for different folks.
it is very rhythmic it's just too cool for you to comprehend
(straight 16th notes still count as rhythm)
Your avatar is too catchy for it's own good.
try to bob your head in time with it
I give you 20 seconds before your neck starts hurting
Can't help it, song too catchy.
This is helpful in picking wood.
What is a better guitar for someone playing thrash metal? B.C Rich Assassin or an explorer?
B.C. Rich is awful, so the explorer wins by default, but that's sort of a silly question to begin with.
You can play metal on a telecaster if you want to, it's a question of the sound you want, not the shape.
I remember hearing an awesome metal guitarist that used a tele. A lot metal guitarists get one with a humbucker but this guy used the single coils. And it had this awesome hollow sound, not tinny or anything it was really thick but the single coil just gave the tone an awesome little nuance of awesomeness.
TBH, BC riches arent that bad anymore. If by explorer you mean gibson/epiphone with 24.75 scale, I'd rather pick BC rich than anything gibson scale-length. Chuck Schuldiner signature I recently played was extremely solid guitar, at-least for the purpose it's intended for.
If it has humbucker in bridge and it's not hollow, it can do metal with ease. You can play metal with anything, off course.
One thing to consider is the fact how ergonomic the guitars are. To me, explorers are not that comfortable when sitting, but they balance well when standing. I personally wouldn't ever buy explorer if I wasn't going to play most of time while standing. Strat esque guitar (such as that BC) would thus be by far better choice for practicing.
There are still far better choices than either of those (depending on explorer, of course).
Jari Mäenpää? I can't recall anyone else who would use tele with single coil at bridge and have good "metal" tone.
I have an explorer and it is just as comfortable as my Super strats sitting down, I don't know why others feel different, but whatever.
Not who I was thinking of but that does sound good.
Yeah, my explorer felt awkward for about an hour until I got used to it. The part that screwed me up the most was the bridge position is different than my Ibanez so that took more getting used to than the shape.
one of the guitar players for Red Fang uses a '72 thinline tele with fender wide ranges in both positions. Definitely not what most would think of as a metal guitar but it pushes some serious tone.
I think we've got an explorer rigged for playing slide on.
Dem soapbars on it.
man after playing that T40 for a while my mahogany body strat feels like it's not even there
Really, the guitar doesn't even fucking matter if you're willing to put in different electronics.
Somebody I know really likes strats, but dislikes the tone and tends to play heavier shit. So he's got one with a set of EMGs and one with a set of those humbucker-in-a-single things, and if you hadn't been told it was a strat, you'd never know.
You can play a fucking potted plant if you want to, provided you get the right amp and electronics.
I'm sure they're playable, but the vast majority of things they make are pointy clusterfucks for people who want to look br00tul, and other companies do the conventional shapes better.
Not everybody sits the same way. Some people sit with it hanging on their right thigh, others put it between their legs, other people on their left thigh.
Obviously there's going to be an issue if you now have a giant bulge pressing up against your giant bulge.
The only BC Rich guitar shapes I can tolerate are the eagles, mockingbirds (specifically the spalted maple one), and the gunslinger for 80's style (but, one pickup is a little iffy.)
So, Zoom apparently released an update for my R16 about 3 weeks ago, maybe if I'm lucky this'll fix my DAW-BSOD issues, although it only claims to improve latency. Funny too, as was typing up the ad to sell it
So if I want huge sustain on a strat body, what would I do. Thick and heavy body?
Oak and so much polyurethane?
also very large bridge block.
Or just do a hardtail bridge.
I looked at F-Basses.
I'm in love with a new tuning
I tried C# tuning, perfect.
fuck everything I'm just gonna buy a brass one
Maybe I missed something, not being a slide guitarist, but isn't the rule there that if you find yourself needing a slide, you need to go buy beer?
My uncle gave me a slide that was just the neck of a bottle he cut off. I gotta say I like metal slides more than glass. BUT that can change on different guitars a bright guitar might benefit from a glass slide.
yeah but you still have to cut the glass down and all sorts of shit and I think it'll be less time consuming if I just go buy a brass one that doesn't break every other day

Most of all, he loved and cherished my Mama. For 69 years they were true to the vows they took on June 30, 1943 before they passed under the crossed sabers in their full military wedding at Fort Riley, Kansas. They indeed loved and cherished each other, till death they did part.

How blessed you were to have such a father! I've often heard my grandmother say the greatest gift any father can give his children is to love and respect their mother. We learn by the example our parents set for us, and yours truly set a fine example for you and your siblings.

Frozn probably isn't a good idea for Dm because they require them to lose a round to trigger their bonus, and DM is about trying to get in as much matches as you can and get 2HKO's.
And your cardpool isn't very good, but you can try this.
Btw, is it for 25 or for t2?
For T2 I would not use Frozn simply because of the cardpool problem.
For T1 try this:
Haaken Annuqa
Tsuka Eliska

Good luck with the deck.
Ok thanks

The value of U.S. mineral production significantly declined in 2009, according to a recently released report from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The value of raw, nonfuel minerals mined in the United States was $57.1 billion in 2009, a decline of 20 percent over the past year, accorind to USGS. The value of materials domestically processed and refined from these raw minerals was $454 billion in 2009, a 25 percent decline from that of 2008, the goverment agency reports.
Also during the past year, USGS says that U.S. dependence on foreign sources for minerals has increased, continuing a trend that has been evident for more than 30 years. The United States relied on foreign sources to supply more than 50 percent of domestic consumption of 38 mineral commodities in 2009, and was 100 percent reliant on imports for 19 of those, according to USGS.
Minerals are a fundamental component to the U.S. economy. Final products, such as cars and houses, produced by major U.S. industries using mineral materials made up approximately 13 percent (more than $1.9 trillion) of the 2009 gross domestic product.
The U.S. Geological Survey recently released the Mineral Commodity Summaries 2010, and this annual report addresses events, trends, and issues in the domestic and international mineral industries and includes statistics on about 90 mineral commodities. The report is used by public and private sector analysts regarding planning and decision making for government and business.
"Over the last year, there has been reduced production of almost every mineral commodity and lower prices for most metals," said USGS Mineral Resources Program Coordinator Kathleen Johnson in a written statement. "This report allows for timely research and analysis of our nation's minerals sector."
A decline in the U.S. housing market during 2009 caused reductions in the production and consumption of construction materials. Declines in automobile and durable goods manufacturing resulted in reduced production and consumption of metals including copper, iron, steel, lead, and platinum-group metals.
Gold was one notable exception to the downward trend in metal prices, reaching an all time high of $1,215.21 per troy ounce in early December 2009. Iron ore was among the largest to decline and decreased by nearly 50 percent in production quantity and value over the last year.
The USGS is the sole federal provider of objective assessments on mineral resources, production, consumption, and environmental effects. The USGS collects, analyzes, and disseminates current data on mineral commodity industries in the United States and about 180 other countries.
The USGS report "Mineral Commodity Summaries 2010" is available at http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/mcs/.

'Pay-to-delay' pharmaceutical deals smack of illegal collusion - WaPo
IN 2006 Solvay Pharmaceuticals, the maker of the testosterone-therapy drug AndroGel, settled a dispute with a group of generic pharmaceutical companies, agreeing to allow would-be competitors into the market in 2015, five years before the AndroGel patent expires. So how is this bad for consumers in search of cheaper drugs?
In fact, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will argue Monday before the Supreme Court that this settlement and all others like it are so obviously anti-competitive that they should be presumed illegal. And the FTC has a very good case.
The reason lies in the fact that the generic pharmaceutical companies also agreed to take millions in cash from Solvay as part of the settlement. That arrangement, the FTC argues, stinks of illegal collusion — without which generic versions of the drug might have entered the market even earlier.
If a generic pharmaceutical company wants to introduce its own version of a brand-name drug without waiting for the relevant patent to expire, it can file a claim with the Food and Drug Administration, explaining why the patent is invalid or otherwise shouldn't apply. The brand-name drug firm can then challenge the generic company in court, a proceeding that, if it goes in the generic's direction, would lead to the near-immediate sale of a low-priced, off-brand version of the drug to consumers. But because litigation brings risks to both sides, many of these proceedings end in settlements. These involve an agreement on a date when generics can be introduced. Sometimes, they also involve the brand-name drugmaker paying its would-be competitor immense sums of cash.
What is the brand-name producer paying for? Valuable time, the FTC says. The brand-name company makes huge profit margins when it has no competition. So it's in its interest to pay potential competitors a slice to keep generic firms out of the market longer. Those potential competitors, meanwhile, get enriched simply by delaying their entry. If companies can effectively maintain monopoly pricing for a while longer and split up the profits by way of legal settlements, generics firms are less likely to push for competition to begin at the earliest possible date. Both sides make money in the interim, but consumers pay the price. It's hard to think of a circumstance in which that sort of dealmaking wouldn't indicate a violation of the spirit of the nation's antitrust laws.
The pharmaceutical industry responds that settlements involving big cash payments often still result in the entry of generic competitors years before patents expire. Couldn't taking that option off the table hurt consumers?
Yet there would still be opportunity for settlements, just those in which one side's interests are fully aligned with those of consumers. The brand-name companies would seek to delay the entry of competitors; would-be competitors would seek only to speed it up. The resulting deals would better reflect the merits of their various claims, including the strength of the patents at issue.
The FTC, anyway, isn't saying that the court should ban cash payments entirely, just that the parties involved should have to show that they aren't anti-competitive. That strikes us as a reasonable safeguard against a clear opportunity for collusion.

Wooden Attachment Turns iPad Into Hand-Cranked Music Boxes [Video]
By slowly turning the lever, users are able to generate sounds and visual content.
Designer Joelle Aeschlimann from ECAL has created a unique way to interact with the iPad. Her project 'Little Boxes' includes a set of three devices ranging in size that turns the tablet into a hand-cranked music box. By placing the crank on the screen and turning the lever, the user is able to play a tune like a traditional player.
The physical device is simply constructed from wood and includes rubber tips seen on tablet stylus pens. The Adobe Air iOS software recognizes the rotating mechanical movements and is able to generate music and visual content on the screen.
Watch the video below to see a demonstration of Little Boxes:

text: I rarely have time for television these days though have been quite taken by the BBC's use of Wallace & Gromit's Runaway Sled to identify their programmes through the festive season. Aardman's Wallace & Gromit Snow Angels is rather good too though shorter. Wikipedia has an interesting (funded, I guess, by the British taxpayer - just a guess!) article on the BBC's idents, on-screen channel identities, that have kept some animators in work to my certain knowledge so I'm not knocking them. Usually I kind of know when I'm tuning into the BBC due to the lack of adverts and the fact that I press 1 on my handset.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning First Impressions - What Ya' Reckoning?Written Tuesday, March 15, 2011 By Dan Webb View author's profile |
What happens when you throw New York Times' best-selling author, R.A. Salvatore, renowned comic book artist and creator of Spawn, Todd McFarlane and Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's Lead Designer, Ken Rolston into a pot? Simple, you get Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a game that can only be described as a traditionally old-skool action-RPG.
So that means you should expect a class-based action-RPG with open-world exploration, a vast narrative and character customisation galore. And it wouldn't be an old-skool RPG without loot, and according to 38 Studios you can expect a "Diablo-like loot system" in Reckoning… so quit ya' whining.
We kicked things off with the recent hands-off presentation in Reckoning with 38 Studios showing off its pre-game character customisation system. Ever hated playing an RPG for 10 hours only to realise that you picked the wrong class? If the answer is yes, then Reckoning looks to remedy that by not having the age-old class selection system. Instead, players are invited to choose an origin of sorts, which carries bonuses for characters, including which God you bow down to; again offering the player further bonuses to make good use of. From there players can level up as they see fit, combining the power of a warrior with the agility of a rogue, or the agility of a rogue with the arcane skill of a mage. If the answer is no, you've always got your class right first time, well I'm sorry we can't all be as perfect as you. Spoilsport.
Reckoning kicks off in a cavernous environment with our character being the first to rise from the dead thanks to something called the Well of Souls. According to 38 Studios, your fate in the title is not set as a result and you'll spend your time changing not only your fate, but the fate of the people you interact with. As I stressed originally, this is a traditional old-skool RPG, so expect the usual RPG staples such as XP systems; damage floaties; alchemy; sage-crafting; blacksmithing; and even an unlevelled world, meaning that you need to be careful you don't stumble into the wrong dungeon at the wrong time. There will be visual signposts though so this won't happen too often, but honestly, that's how we like our RPGs anyway. Accessible-schmacksessible.
Boasting 5 regions and a night/day cycle, which gives each environment a new look and feel, Reckoning, like Fable, takes the day/night cycle and incorporates that into the combat. That means some weapons will work better at certain times of the day and others will be stronger against certain foes and whatnot. From an environment standpoint though, Reckoning seems to be heading in the right direction drawing inspiration from Oblivion's Imperial City and Fable's green pastures of Albion, which is abundantly clear from the offset. With medieval-esque British settlements, misty caverns, awe-inspiring dungeons, murky swamps and crystalised jungles, variety seems to be the spice of life in Reckoning.
The combat in Reckoning on the other hand is shaping up to be quite simplistic, offering a sort of lift and juggle combat to mix things up a little. In short, it's one-button combat, but it seems to be a little deeper than that thanks to the ability to block and parry, as well as switch weapons – that you assign to the face buttons – on the fly. Not massively complex, but in a way, that should be a good thing.
Not being pigeonholed as a class has its advantages in combat more than any other aspect, meaning you can create more combat-centric mages, who not only take on the mantle of ranged attack, but also attacks on a much more up-close-and-personal basis. You can even block as a mage – although it's not as effective as a warrior-based focus – and even the dodges integrate your class strengths into their animations, meaning mages teleport instead of rolling away like a rogue… Can you tell we're a fan of the ol' mage class? Oh, and there's kill moves too… and they're gruesome. Shibby!
It's very early – like, pre-alpha early – to ascertain how Reckoning will shape up as a whole, but with shades of Fable and Oblivion in some of the core mechanics, 38 Studios seems to be treading a path that puts the role-playing firmly back into the role-playing game. With simple one-button combat, picturesque and beautifully crafted environments, a sensible class system and plenty of RPG, it'd be easy for me to say that this is the direction Fable might have gone if Molyneux and co. hadn't become so obsessed with accessibility… so I won't. Although, by saying that, indirectly I have done. Now if that isn't a head fuck, I don't know what is.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is heading your way sometime in 2012.

Communication Lessons from News of the World
When I was a kid, I remember my dad coming home from work and telling my mom he'd had to fire someone.
I very vividly remember the image it conjured in my head. MY dad had set some poor man on fire! What about his family? What about MY family? Was my dad going to go to jail? Isn't setting a person on fire murder?
At that very young and impressionable age (I might have been five or six), it became clear to me that you never wanted to be fired. Or have to fire anyone, for that matter. And, like so many of us, even though I grew to understand what it meant, it was still something you never wanted to happen.
Being fired. Closing your business. Going bankrupt. These are all things that are seen as huge failures in the business world.
Until they're not.
Because of my Vistage membership, I was fortunate to watch someone go through bankruptcy two years ago. It's not something I would ever wish on anyone. But I learned a great deal from it. My biggest lesson? You can pick up and grow another business after bankruptcy.
Who knew? I always believed that was the kiss of death and you'd never be able to work a day in your life again.
News of the World Closes
Fast forward to this past Sunday when News of the World published its last issue. A Murdoch publication, you tend to think nothing he does fails. But this one. Boy! This one was self-inflicted.
For those of you who don't know, the bare bones story is they were intercepting phone calls of everyday people and celebrities in order to get to the juicy tabloid stories before their competitors. They hired private detectives to take photos and spy. They did everything they could not only to get the story but, in some cases, break the law in order to get them.
James Murdoch suggested to his father that they close the paper and they moved swiftly to do so.
The Communication Lesson
But the interesting thing is not just that they're closing the paper; it's that they're changing the conversation.
News Corp. also owns The Sun, a weekday tabloid in London so it's pretty likely they'll return to the Sunday market fairly quickly. Not only that, but News of the World was bleeding cash (I guess that's what happens when you hire private detectives to do reporting?) and I can imagine they're pleased to get the property off their books.
So the conversation goes from the egregious things they did, to very fast decisions, to a bankrupt company, to an entirely new vision at a company that is making the parent lots of money.
Think Arthur Andersen turned Accenture. Blackwater turned Xe.
While Rupert Murdoch is still lumbering along in the age-old traditional media (buying the Wall Street Journal, anyone?), this move gets a bleeding company off the books, changes the conversation, and allows the younger generation in James Murdoch (assuming he doesn't go to jail) to move toward the digital age more quickly.
You haven't seen the last of News of the World. You'll just find it in a different form…most likely a Sunday edition of The Sun.
About Gini Dietrich
Gini Dietrich is the founder and CEO of Arment Dietrich, an integrated marketing communications firm. She is the author of Spin Sucks, co-author of Marketing in the Round, and co-host of Inside PR. She also is the lead blogger at Spin Sucks and is the founder of Spin Sucks Pro.
A story that is still rolling in the UK. The real reason the paper hit a wall was because it hacked into and deleted messages on the phone of a murdered girl – Milly Dowler, giving her family false hope. They may have been able to ride out the hacking of celebrities, but not this.
Closing the paper potentially allows them to draw a line and move on but the story is moving so quickly it may yet de-rail Murdoch's bid to buy the 61% of BSkyB he doesn't already own. This would be a bitter blow to Murdoch. He makes a lot more money from his TV assets worldwide than his newspaper assets. News of the World profits accounted for just 1% of News Corp total profits – so not such a loss, especially as you suggest, we will probably see a Sunday Sun.
Great fire story. LOL'd at that one. Funny how literal we take things as kids.
Not to sound cliche or like a Deep Thoughts moment, but every situation provides a lesson. And we can either learn from failing, which is what strong leaders do, or let it take us down. My guess is Rupert Murdoch has failed more than all of us combined. It's the learning part that makes him stand out.
As I finished writing this the news has just been announced that he has withdrawn his bid for BskyB – so his gamble in closing the NOTW has failed for the time being
It's disappointing that more journalists aren't reporting that NOTW was 'bleeding cash' and challenging readers/listeners to think about an important layer of this story. From a PR perspective, how effective do you think this shift in conversation will be in shifting sentiment towards Murdoch?
Thanks for insightful post.
Renée Mellow, Thoora
I wonder as time goes on how many more newspapers will be closing their doors as more and more people go to their mobile devices and computers as their preferred choice for news? I suppose only time will tell.
Gini – I remember when my dad WAS fired – and it is so funny the image you describe is EXACTLY the one that I had as well. I was about 5 years old and it was the last corporate job he had before he started his own business and ended up a great success.
Thanks for the share and the memory.
@NickWDeane Wow! In between the time I wrote this and getting to the office that happened. Thanks for keeping me up to speed!
I read that NOTW is less than one percent of their assets, too, so it's really a flea on an elephant. I don't know how I feel about the leadership lesson, but I'm amazed at the communication lessons.
@JGoldsborough I'm pretty sure he's failed a gazillion times…just like Warren Buffet and Donald Trump, too. As I watched this thing unfold, I was reminded of the whole Arthur Andersen/Accenture announcement. Be rid of the bad by "closing" the company and reinvent yourself by changing the conversation.
@knikkolette remember though, it was "newspapers" that dogged this story – the slime activity of NoTW – The Guardian. Here's a good story: A Tabloid Shame, Exposed by Earnest Rivals – http://t.co/Y1cNWLX
@ginidietrich @NickWDeane yep… and I tweeted it 🙂 seriously, this is a great post and very relevant! I also just linked to a story in a reply above – I think another lesson here too is – don't count dogged journalists, newspapers, out. Love the irony in: A Tabloid Shame, Exposed by Earnest Rivals – (Newspapers, yep!) http://t.co/Y1cNWLX (great piece by David Carr!)
@Thoora I don't know if the shift will change in sentiment, but people have very short memories. I think the conversation change that is happening right now is setting them up to relaunch (for lack of a better term) into the Sunday market. Murdoch is staying out of it so I don't know that it'll change sentiment toward him.
@knikkolette Well, we saw mass closures in 2009 when the economy tanked and people went online for their news because it was cheaper (or free, in some cases). I can't imagine that trend isn't going to continue.
@danielnewmanUV Sometimes we have to "fail" in order to get where we needed to go in the first place.
@ginidietrich This should be your license plate ~ http://espo4.me/n3aAOY
@ginidietrich LOL Gini! Yeah, if you set someone on fire = jail. Good post & also a lesson for all journalists. The story keeps unfolding.
Your dad looks like Donald Trump! How was that growing up? I bet Mr. D thought you were the scion of a wealthy east coast family when he asked you out the first time. 8) I luckily was never fired. I once walked out on a part time college job. I once resigned vs being let go. And once I engineered a 'layoff'. But I know failure.
Like or Hate Rupie-boy he is a pretty crafty and very cut throat businessman. Old media world? Not really. He is ALL-Media. Fox Studio made Avatar. He was the first with regional sports cable networks. He also has bled much more than from the print media segment. Myspace bought for $750m sold for $30m. LA Dodgers fiasco. WSJ. So obviously I would be surprised he was clueless about what was going on with News of the World. I am sure Wink Wink it was given tacit Wink Wink approval.
@HowieSPM That is so funny; I was thinking the same exact thing. Uncanny, but of course Bones looks like @ginidietrich so it was probably only natural.
@ginidietrich @danielnewmanUV I almost fell in a Vermont river on Sunday when I slipped on some rocks. It can hurt to fall. I prefer landing on pillows.
Wait you said fail. Well Twitter survived 2 years of Fail Whale right?
When I was young a friend of mine's father was Justice of the Peace in our town. I'm guessing it was an appointed position but one night my dad came home and told us our friend's dad had been fired. I started crying because I thought they burned him up……………..yes, my dorkdum goes way back.
I too thought bankruptcy was the kiss of death; you might as well move to Siberia because there was no way anyone would lend you money. I guess that's not true either and have seen many 'success' stories from the ashes. Of course someone got singed along the way………..
All I can say is never say never and there will always be opportunities out there.
@ginidietrich @knikkolette @debmorello News is consolidating. Remember back in the pre-internet day for the most part each major city had 1-3 papers. And that was their competition. Then NY could compete with LA and DC and Miami and Paris for quality of world and national news coverage. That changed things a lot. I can see a hybrid of how we consume news with just less printed paper which is a good thing for trees.
@JGoldsborough you said Fire! hehe huhuh hehehe Fire! Fire! Fire!
everyday deserves at least one beavis and butthead reference.
@bdorman264 I gave up credit many years ago. I now pay with gold bullion.
@bdorman264 LOL! This is why I love you…you're as big a dork as me.
@HowieSPM @bdorman264 Hey Bill! Let's rob Howie's house. He has gold bullion lying around.
@tonia_ries Please watch how to make shopping more fun on YouTube by TheYellowPelican its The Grocery Game! http://t.co/hvreNbr
@tonia_ries No, no. Spin sucks.
@jeffespo Mine would say SPIN SUCKS
@ginidietrich 🙂 never
@aakomas Didn't you ever think someone being fired meant they were on fire?
@ginidietrich No. Back home they used the work "sack" & it always reminded me of sacks of kennels. LOL! Same perspective 4 a child though.
@ginidietrich oops!! 🙂
G'Day Gini,
I think Rupert will manage, We Aussies are a……… no: that would be immodest.
Disclosure: this comment was submitted by a subscriber to News Limited's national daily in Australia, "The Australian."
What's the world coming to?
@ginidietrich But we have crafted it to a certain level of 'coolness'…..at least in our own minds…………:)
For sure in our own minds!
@Leon Let's blame it on Al Gore!
@HowieSPM I've never been fired either. But I did quit a movie theater in a flame of glory. I QUIT! You can't quit, you're fired! You can't fire me; I already quit!
@bdorman264 @HowieSPM You didn't know my dad IS Donald Trump?
RT @ginidietrich: In the words of Donald Trump 'You're fired!' RT @spinsucks Communication Lessons frm News of the World http://t.co/M4If6vL
@ginidietrich – I don't know if you've seen it, but @CASUDI wrote a great post about death of a business, changing the convo, and learning
@tonia_ries LOL
@ambercleveland I didn't, but I'll go find it. Thanks!
@ginidietrich @HowieSPM I remember hearing about that GIni. You were fired for texting during the movie and then left this nasty voicemail for management that went viral on the Internet… 🙂
@adamtoporek @HowieSPM No, no. I was fired for texting during the movie and then using the F bomb in the voicemail for management.
@ginidietrich @HowieSPM I heard they wanted to hire you back based on your keen understanding of free speech and constitutional liberty here in the Magnited States of America, but the lawyers wouldn't let them. Another career wasted — such a shame.
Have you thought about doing something in PR instead? 🙂
@adamtoporek @HowieSPM It turns out, because of my tribute to the Magnited States of America, I am well sought-out with job offers.
@ginidietrich I would've sent the link if I had it handy. Sorry about that. It's really a great outlook about tough biz decisions
@ambercleveland Oh that's OK! I found it.
Private detectives didn't do the reporting, they were sub-contracted by the editorial staff. One of the reasons that many senior journalists face jail and for some reason Murdoch want to save Rebekah Wade, who was editor at the time a murder victim's phone was hacked.
The News of the World had the largest share of the market of Sunday papers with a circulation of roughly 4 million which was falling. Between 2010-11 advertising revenue fell by 25%. Coincidentally this mirrors the amount of journalists the US lost 2006-2011 at 27%.
The Sun is also available on Saturdays.
There are tons of fallout to still come from this, one of the allegations is that 9/11 victims and responders had their phones hacked. I can imagine the US reaction if this is proven to be correct, your claims of a new vision may be premature. Rupert's empire is crumbling, I doubt it will raised to the ground but the foundations look mighty cracked at the moment.
@NickWDeane You won't see a Sunday Sun given that it's a local newspaper in the North East and Yorkshire.
Uhmm, @lisagerber lookie here………this is what I mean…… @bdorman264
@MSGiro I had Sentra anger today.
@ginidietrich so proud of you.
Practitioners of the journalism profession will however have to re-examine the ethical practices of their profession in the newsrooms across the country.
Practitioners of the journalism profession will however have to re-examine the ethical practices of their profession in the newsrooms across the country.
Sure bankruptcy does not have to be the end of the line. It may be challenging to let go and move on, but you never know. May be you will be headed towards something better. The case above is not the best highlight for this point though. Somebody who has so brutally breached the ethics of a supposedly noble profession like journalism should not be allowed to ever own or manage a newspaper again. And if he does, I don't think readers will ever trust him.

Curtiss JN-4 Jenny (scale model)
Did You Know?
- The Jenny was the first aircraft purchased in quantity by the U.S. military. Consequently, it was the first mass-produced American aircraft.
- It was used to train more than 90% of American pilots during World War I.
- Prior to 1927, the Jenny was the first aircraft many Americans ever saw up close, let alone fly in.
- After the war, there was a surplus of Jennies. Many barnstormers bought them, flying them across the U.S. to sell rides, thrill spectators, and inspire young pilots-to-be.
- Charles Lindbergh's first aircraft was a Jenny bought in 1923 for $500.

Can anyone please tell me, if there is any performance difference between the BSE and cast case Jett Q500 engines.
If this is your first visit, please click the Sign Up now button to begin the process of creating your account so you can begin posting on our forums! The Sign Up process will only take up about a minute of two of your time.
Can anyone please tell me, if there is any performance difference between the BSE and cast case Jett Q500 engines.
The long stroke version cast case is the highest performance Jett Q500 engine
The long stroke is for Q40, not Q500. The case does not make a difference, and I have never seen the BSE at a race.
Scott Smith
NMPRA 86t - District 7 VP
I beg your pardon, the response to original post is correct!
Yes, it depends on which version of Q500 one is referring to - the 428 engine was available in long stroke if I remember correctly. The 426 engine being used these days is not.
There was a short stroke BSE Q500, I have one. Never raced with it, we started flying 426 around this part of the country instead of 428.
Out of all the places we could be, this is one of them.
I apologize Kommander, I was thinking an engine which is legal in modern Quickie
Forgot about history 101...
Scott Smith
NMPRA 86t - District 7 VP
Thanks for the replies. Should have made the question a bit clearer, it is the 428 motor I am interested in.
The Kommander would know !!!
Call Dub and ask him direct -
QII 500's are long stroke, i have a cast case model and it's a stump puller - in a ninja 170+ mph
I prefer the newer cast case vs. the BSE option. I had both types and still prefer the cast case version over the BSE because of its stiffer one piece crankcase.
A few years ago, my team-mate Chuck had the Jett LS Q500 engine radar in the SAM-RAI Q500 that hit more than 185 MPH at Whittier Narrow Park, CA during practice while experimenting with different props. The engine was strong but it didn't last since it ate the dirt coming around pylon 3 during its early heat race. This was the cast case LS version.
On paper the numbers are the same, but whichever you choose to go with, good luck, have fun and make the best of it.
Hope this helps.

. This is similar to support that both mysql
programs include (the -C
, --compress
options "Use
compression in server/client protocol"). Using the compressed protocol helps
reduce the bandwidth use and speed up transfers.
Percona Server has also implemented support for SSL
mysqlbinlog now accepts the SSL
connection options as all the
other client programs. This feature can be useful with
option. Following SSL
options are now
- Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with other flags). --ssl-ca=name
- CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies –ssl). --ssl-capath=name
- CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies –ssl). --ssl-cert=name
- X509 cert in PEM format (implies –ssl). --ssl-cipher=name
- SSL cipher to use (implies –ssl). --ssl-key=name
- X509 key in PEM format (implies –ssl). --ssl-verify-server-cert
- Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used when connecting. This option is disabled by default.

This leather guitar strap features five rows of perforated, square holes that give this strap a sophisticated punk look appropriate for many styles of electric guitars.
Dunlop BMF leather guitar straps are made of high quality, premium, full-grain leather and are designed to break in fast and provide a lifetime of use. Each guitar strap is crafted with a supple deer cow's leather top (made of cowhide to resemble deerskin) for flexibility, then saddle-stitched to a pigskin back for comfort and grip so your guitar stays in place while not wearing out your shoulder.
Black, leather, and purposeful holes make for a punk rock strap combination. Order today!
