Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho feels that Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to win the Ballon d'Or and says he is on another level than Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi.
Mourinho stated after the Clasico that both players were from another planet, but he is now having second thoughts about his previous statement, and believes his compatriot is well ahead of the Argentine forward.
"It would be a crime if Cristiano didn't win the Ballon d'Or. If Messi is the best in the world, it's only because Cristiano is from another planet," Mourinho stated to A Bola.
"He wasn't born on Madeira, but on Mars. So he's not from planet Earth. That's why he's the best player in the universe.
"If Cristiano does not win it this year, it has to do with his image. He doesn't sell himself well and isn't always a nice guy."
The flamboyant coach then voiced his opinion that it is more difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo to excel than it is for Lionel Messi as he has not been surrounded by the same team-mates for years.
"Things are much harder for Cristiano than they are for Messi. Messi grew up with his current team and team-mates," he added.
"Cristiano, on the other hand, came here from England and arrived at a struggling team. He has had to develop in a team that wasn't the finished article yet."

Totalitarian Reads Part 1
Last month we tackled our first graphic novel together, Persepolis by Marjane Satrappi, which got a firm thumbs up from every member of the group. The book is a a coming-of-age story with a difference, a memoir recording what it was like to grow up in Tehran in the 1970's and '80s, and live through the Islamic revolution then through the horrors of the Iran-Iraq war.
Despite the bleakness of the setting, it is though the humanity of the book which wins the reader over. Marjane is a very ordinary kid, though precocious and more than a little rebellious, trying to make sense of what is happening around her. Women are forced into wearing headscarves, thousands are arrested, her own uncle is executed.
Marjane is sent overseas by her parents for her own safety after she gets in trouble at school, but she is lonely and vulnerable in Vienna and the usual growing-up pains that all teenagers endure are greatly exacerbated. At one point she's sleeping rough on the streets, on drugs and contemplating suicide. She decides that it is better to live with her family under an oppressive regime than to endure this sense of dislocation, and returns to Iran. More than this I won't reveal as I really hope that if you haven't read the book, you will.
There were many episodes in the book we all really loved including Marjane's conversations with God, who comes and sits on the end of her bed to chat; her portrait of her grandmother, who sleeps with jasmine flowers crushed into her bra so that she will always smell good; and of course the part where her parents risk arrest at the airport to smuggle in a pop poster for her.
There is a film of the books (The Complete Persepolis is actually both parts of the story) and it won a "Prix du Jury" at the Cannes Film Festival :
Our most recent oppressive regime read was Tom Rob Smith's Child 44 set in Stalin's soviet Union. But since this piece is growing longer, and I'm starving to death as I tap at the keyboard, I think I will move to another post to tell you about that one!

Hi Sharon,
I have been a silent reader for quite some time now but when I saw Satrapi featured in your post, I simply have to leave my 2 cents'.
Yes, she is such a wonderful story-teller. I love all her books.
Have a nice weekend, Sharon!

sharon, just one question for you, nothing to do with this post. i have written a short story for the MPH comeptition, but if i post it through pos laju on monday, will it be accepted or can i drop it off at any outlets on monday? which outlet can i drop it off at? i am from seremban.

i am really not sure Aravin since I'm not actually an organiser - just a judge. i think i'd be inclined to send the piece by post laju or come up to KL and drop it in one of the boxes in the main stores (megamall would be the easiest)
but you could call up mph to make absolutely sure.

Aravin: You don't need to travel to KL. Just post it by Pos Laju. Most of the entries came in this way.

Persepolis by Marjane Satrappi is an excellent Graphic Novel, the animation is good but doesn't quite live up to the very high standard set by the GN itself.
What is good, however, is watching the making of......
In my mind Persepolis the GN is up there with Maus and Barefoot Gen, and possibly Will Eisner's City People too.

|Summary, etc.:
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.Riveting and relentlessly paced, THE BLACK BOX leads Harry Bosch, "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases.

Ban HGVs, not headphones
boris johnson | cycling | london
Six cyclists have been killed on London's streets in the last fortnight. On 5 November Brian Holt, a hospital porter from Aldgate, was hit by a lorry on Cycle Superhighway 2 in Mile End. On 7 November a man died after a collision with a bus in Croydon. Last week Francis Golding was hit by a coach at the corner of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road. He later died in hospital. On Wednesday morning a woman was hit by a heavy goods vehicle as she cycled round Bow roundabout, where two other cyclists have died this year. Another man died on Thursday morning after he was hit by a bus at the junction of Whitechapel Road and Commercial Road on Wednesday night. He was also cycling along CS2. Yesterday, a cyclist was killed in a collision with an HGV in Camberwell. Another was hit in Camden in the afternoon, and three more are in hospital with serious injuries. Fourteen cyclists have died in London so far this year.
In an interview with LBC radio last week, Boris Johnson appeared to suggest that at least some of these deaths were the fault of the victims:
Unless people obey the laws of the road and people actively take account of the signals that we put in, there's no amount of traffic engineering that we invest in that is going to save people's lives… If you take these hasty, rash decisions that we're seeing sometimes, then you will be endangering your life.
Last year the mayor claimed that 62 per cent of cyclists killed or seriously injured in London had committed 'some infraction of the rules of the road'. He later admitted that he'd been told the statistic at a mayoral hustings meeting and didn't have a source for it.
The London Cycling Campaign has long argued that the Cycle Superhighway network is badly thought through and dangerous. Johnson trumpets his investment in cycling but seems fundamentally unwilling to challenge the dominance of motor traffic in London, preferring to spend money on more visible projects, such as painting tarmac blue and installing Boris bikes. Ashok Sinha, the chief executive of the LCC, has said that a proposal for a safer crossing for cyclists and pedestrians at Bow roundabout was rejected because it would have caused delays to traffic. Earlier this year Johnson seemed more interested in expanding the cycle hire scheme with electric bikes than in improving the existing infrastructure.
In 2010 Johnson suggested he might ban lorries from central London, but these days Jenny Jones seems to be the only member of the London Assembly contemplating an outright ban on HGVs during rush hour. The mayor would rather ban cyclists from wearing headphones. Jones has repeatedly challenged Johnson's claims that London's roads are safer for cyclists than they were when he took office. 'The reality is that they are safer than they were twelve years ago, but they have become more dangerous since he was elected,' she says. The statistics back her up.
Yesterday morning the Met's 'Safer Transport Command' stopped cyclists during rush hour. They told people off for not wearing hi-viz and helmets. Wearing a helmet is not a legal requirement and it is far from clear that they make cyclists any safer on the roads. It is unlikely that any of the cyclists killed in London this year would have been protected by wearing one. Several of them were.

iPhone Rumors writes: Today your iPhone has replaced a number of gadgets, which ranges from digital cameras, video cameras, notepads, torches, dictaphones, handheld gaming devices, and a lot more including electronic gadgets handy for hospitals. One thing that we didn't expect anytime soon had been an iPhone case that can also double as a stun gun with 650,000 volts.
This is cool but I expect legal issues, especially in Europe.

A day of celebration is being held this weekend to mark a new chapter in the history of Kirkby Market.
Traders are set to relocate to a new temporary market next week as construction of the fantastic new £2.5m Kirkby Market begins.
To mark the occasion, celebrations of the current market's history are being held between 10am-3pm on Saturday 12 January, with children's entertainment, face-painting, balloon modelling and refreshments.
The stalls will then relocate to the temporary market, right next to the current market which was built in 1960.
The new market will open in the summer, with covered areas, easier access to stalls, a café, shoppers' toilets, shoppers' parking, an improved appearance and enhanced links to the town centre.
Knowsley Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economy and Skills, Cllr Dave Lonergan, said: "The original Kirkby Market has been at the heart of the town centre for decades, so it is only right that we have a day of celebration to give it a proper send off.
"We are all really excited about the prospect of the new market opening on the same site this summer, as part of the major regeneration of Kirkby Town Centre.
"In the meantime, we have a temporary market right next to the main site to make sure there is no disruption to traders or customers while the redevelopment takes place."

Arsenal 3-0 West Ham Utd (05/04/17)An archive of match day threads originally posted in the General Discussion forum.
Moderator: Gnome
Arsenal 3-0 West Ham Utd (05/04/17)
Emirates, Wednesday 5th April, 19:45 ko.
Need to move on swiftly from yesterday as frustrating as it is. Arsenal are on a bad run themselves and also seem to have a bit of unrest amongst the camp, can we take advantage? I would wager not. Really hope Antonio is back for this because we need him, also would of rested Noble until Swansea but looks like we need him to step back in also.
Don't think we will have enough against these as our weaknesses compliment their strengths. 3-1 Arsenal sadly for me. As ever though, COYI's! Surprise us.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
A win here would send Arsenal fans into retirement, we should play on that. They'll approach this expecting to win with a crowd wanting to be winning after the first minute against a team with 4 consecutive defeats
Think we'll take a point
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Sorry to be so negative, but hard as I try, I absolutely cannot see anything other than another defeat with at least 3 goals conceded. The pressure will really be on for the Swansea game.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
One of the few teams under more pressure than us ... hope they lose today against City then their season will be over .... fans will be baying for Arsene's blood .... and with luck the players just won't turn up on Wednesday ....
If we get after them we can win this .... sure we will need three goals as usual ... but three against Arsenal at the moment very achievable .....
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Every game I chuck a fiver on us winning 3-1... won twice this season which is more than normal.
For this game I'll admit that whilst I've placed that bet... I've also but another fiver on 3-1 the other way.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Unfortunately I think we will get mullered. 5-1
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
The resistible force meets the moveable object. Sadly, arsenal can't buy a win at the moment, which means only one thing.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Exactly this. Any team, anywhere, that's going through a hard time. Who's up next ( after City) ? Why it's West Ham ! Yipee !
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
That's how I see it too. Going to be a long night
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Really looking forward to this game. There's no better feeling than going to one of your London rivals and getting your pants pulled down after losing 4 on the spin.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Think we'd all settle for a score draw this Wednesday .
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
respect the point philosophy needed now more than ever
Get Nordtveit and Noble in for 2 of our flaky midfielders
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
Would bite your hand off for that TOMoS! Despite feeling dejected after yesterday's pants performance I still think we're capable of something when the pressure is off. A 1-1 with boos ringing round the Emirates would be cracking!
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Thread
God help us!
Id go with:
Subs: Randolph, Nordtviet, Cresswell, Feghouli, Snodgrass, Fletcher, Calleri.
Last edited by funky chicken on Sun Apr 02, 2017 12:26 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Thread
Get Nord in midfield, be as solid as possible and try not to get battered. 2 winnable games after this.
If we go the next 3 without a win we're right in the sh*t
Is Antonio back?
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Thread
We will get strapped...
I would be surprised if we get away with anything less than a 4 goal defeat.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Thread
We'll take a spanking off the worst side in the top 6 as we have no bottle at the moment, Wenger will get a 2 year extension on his contract and the Library will explode in negativity
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Thread
Messrs Pullis and Allardyce achieved great results yesterday, away against superior opposition, with the sort of possession percentage figures that we are going to get in this game.
So a good result is possible, but do you really think all our players will work as hard for us, Bilic & the badge as the Palace and WBA guys did.
Pullis (1 shot on target) did what Sam did to Mourinho (19th century football).
The only plus that I can see is the extra day we have to prepare.
I can only see a loss as we cannot defend and will not create enough chances to get anything out of the game.
Prove me wrong West Ham work hard, track back to help out the full backs, tackle hard, throw yourself into blocking shots, defend corners and set pieces properly, cut out the errors and on the few times we have the ball attack with a touch of flair.
Do this and, even if we lose it will set us on the right track for the last seven.
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Thread
I'm dreaming of a Reece Oxford.....
Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Thread
Well keep it tight for a while, they'll score and it will be curtains for our depleted squad thus sucking more confidence and life out of us and we'll go into a six pointer against Swansea, in the Athletics Stadium, nervous wrecks.

"Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one"
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
It fuels us.
It drives us.
It gives us something to care about. Something to think about. When our minds just want to rest in a pool of nothingness, it's that thing that yanks us back, not letting us go, willing us to center our thoughts on it, yet again.
Obsession is longing to know something so deeply, so richly, that you refuse to stop learning until you've learned all there is to know.
Obsession has elevated athletes to unprecedented greatness. It's driven musicians to headline at sold-out arenas. It's caused normally non-threatening people to scale walls in Hollywood so they could get an up-close peek at their favorite star.
In my 30 years of life, I've gone through many obsessions. In second grade, it was those little fun-shaped erasers. In middle school, 'NSync. College, my now-husband (a totally valid obsession). Most recently, it's been Rocky Road ice cream. And Fuller House. Really? I can do better than that. Because the thing is…
I want to be obsessed.
But I want to be obsessed with something that matters.
Something that is WORTH being obsessed over. And not just for a day. A week. A month. A year. It had better be something that I can follow for life. That I can trust with that much of my time and my energy.
Which works out perfectly.
Because there's this guy. No, he's not my husband. Well, actually, He is. His name is Jesus.
He wants to infiltrate my every thought, influence my every move, and inspire my every breath.
He wants my obsession.
And you know what?
He's worth it.
Hi! I'm Stephanie. Welcome to my blog. My goal is to point the world to Him. Because He is all that matters.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be tested in several ways. The client might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is understood as the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, particularly in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased considerably.
However, it should be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other issues as well. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can notify the client and the doctor to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one deals with a possible or temporary irreversible loss of this vital sense. Hence, when restorative procedures are sought, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, discover this info here allowing better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people need to understand. Most likely, the main reason that this kind of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is since the majority of its cases had actually been effective.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be extremely risky.
Simply puts, a simple error could almost trigger an person's lifetime loss of sight. It is essential to consider lots of aspects prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal corrective procedure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment may remedy your vision but it does not necessarily imply that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show my company that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily suggest they have perfect vision.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the perfect eye surgical treatment the method the majority of people view it
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may read review be made in a number of methods. It should be well remembered that a client with an eye issue may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can alert the physician and the patient to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.

The Southern Tea Cakes recipe by Paula Deen on the Food Network website is an easy recipe for tea cakes. The cakes take approximately 20 minutes to prepare and 12 minutes to cook, and the recipe makes eight to 12 dozen pieces.
To prepare the recipe, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and sift 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon baking soda in a large bowl. Add 2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 cup or two sticks of softened butter. Blend the mixture until it becomes a soft dough. Shape the dough into a flat disk on a floured surface, and wrap the disk in plastic wrap to refrigerate it for one hour.
Place the disk on a newly floured surface, and roll it out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use round or shaped cookie cutters to cut the dough to your desired shape, or use a knife to cut them in squares. Lightly grease a cookie sheet before adding the tea cakes and baking them for 10 to 12 minutes. When preparing the recipe, feel free to throw in additional ingredients such as chopped walnuts or ground nutmeg for some extra flavor.

Jenni Laiti is looking out for Sámi interests.
Racism, inequality and structural violence have been part of the everyday life of the Sámi people for hundreds of years. The Sámi are Europe's only indigenous people, located in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, and suffer from being a minority. The Sámi aspire to live in harmony with nature, and pursue a sustainable relationship with the land they live on. A continued denial of rights to make decisions about the land they own as an indigenous population has led to hundreds of years of confrontation – a struggle which has recently begun to gather momentum.
Perceptions of childhood
IT WAS an ordinary day in Toronto, until an announcement beckoned Jonathan Hobin and his fellow photography students to the radio and TV building. There, they watched in horror as the first of the two towers eroded, and the second plane hit its twin. The date was 11 September 2001.

Press Release
Opening with a lone guitar line that itself has all the momentum of entire genres crammed into a single set of chords, We Were Promised JetpacksГўВҖВҷ ГўВҖВҳQuiet Little VoicesГўВҖВҷ signifies a debut album that has the sort of peerlessness and potential to stand as a mainstay and luminary of indie music in the 21st century.
We Were Promised Jetpacks are their own band, by anyoneГўВҖВҷs reckoning, but are noticeably informed and inspired by the sorts of musical movements that one moves to and is moved by in equal measure. As vocalist Adam ThompsonГўВҖВҷs soon-to-be-classic Scottish lilt appears over the huge, full band instrumentation, the last four decadesГўВҖВҷ worth of underground musical innovation are all thrown into the sonic space with a flawless assimilation: the jolting, carefree vigour and the backing chorus vocals of 70ГўВҖВҷs post-punk (e.g. Gang of Four); the intricate and eloquent songcrafting and musicianship of 80ГўВҖВҷs UK pop (of Kate Bush, Talk Talk etc.); the skewed jarr and inimitable coolness of 90ГўВҖВҷs Western Pacific indie (of Steven Malkmus, The Shins etc.); the modernist, electrifying thrill of the last ten years of British indie. There is even the guitar-driven gravity and concurrently melodious and powerful impact of Explosions In The Sky or Mogwai and a Johnny Marr-esque sparkle to the lead guitar lines. Futureheads/Hot Club De Paris/Postcard/Fire Engines are similarly effective markers.
The bandГўВҖВҷs youthful energy (their average age is 21) explodes thunderously as ГўВҖВҳquiet little voices.ГўВҖВҷ reaches its indescribably huge chorus. Every space is filled, the tension bristles achingly in ThompsonГўВҖВҷs vocal delivery as the rest of the band crashes around him with a perfect balance of force and harmony, but the romanticism and accessibility of a pure pop sensibility is never hidden too deep. B-side ГўВҖВҳletГўВҖВҷs call this a map.ГўВҖВҷ is no different: an energetic, Interpol-esque introduction gives way to the kind of intertwining, effortlessly stirring chorus that has inspired such confidence in and excitement around this band.
Assembled in Edinburgh as high school friends in 2003, We Were Promised JetpacksГўВҖВҷ first ever gig saw them winning their school's battle of the bands competition. Proceeding shows were after-school performances around the city of Edinburgh which were well attended and fuelled the band with a hunger and ambition. The 4-piece came to FatCatГўВҖВҷs attention when listening to some of the friends on the Frightened Rabbit Myspace page.
Before even releasing a single, WWPJ have laid claim to some recent successes which suggest the heralding of a major talent bursting to emerge. A well recorded three-track demo was circulated and managed to pick up a KEXP track of the day over the pond, and plays on national stations in the UK were popping up on XFM, BBC and Q radio. Before the announcement of WWPJ signing to FatCat Records, a strong hint was sitting on the shelves across the UK in the form of inclusion on a recent FatCat sampler, mounted onto Plan B magazine.
A tour through September 2008 as main support for Frightened Rabbit garnered some great reviews for WWPJ. This being their first jaunt into England, healthy crowds arrived early on each evening due to the huge buzz in Scotland now filtering down south of the border.
With an album scheduled for June 2009, the forthcoming year of releases and touring is set to be a busy one for We Were Promised Jetpacks.

10 Neck Tattoo Ideas
Here are 10 neck tattoo ideas for the bold and fearless. The best part about getting a neck tattoo is you have cast off the conservative frock that society dictates you wear. Permanently. You understand that part right? Unless you own a lot of turtleneck sweaters, people will be scrutinizing your ink for the rest of your totally hard core, awesome life. So hell, you better make that tattoo a good one.
- Ignorant. You can't have 10 neck tattoo ideas without offending someone. A neck tattoo is like a big middle finger jutting out at society. It is meant to irk, offend, impress and express all that other stuff you can get from a Hot Topic T-shirt. It's a perfect medium for any racist, sexist, antisocial views you currently harbor. So get an Eskimo chick with devil horns waving a Confederate flag while feasting on whale flesh.
- Stupid. Some people are, shall we say, special. Special people often forget who they are or where they live. To keep things simple, they often take the same approach a farmer takes to a cow. But instead of branding their haunches, special people get cool neck tattoos. Getting your name, city or area code tattooed on your neck is silly. But getting your name, city or area code tattooed on your neck in an elegant, cursive script is special.
- Religion. You can't have 10 neck tattoo ideas without touching on religion. We are like, a totally spiritual people. But remember, this ink is on your neck for all to see. Therefore, in the spirit of not oppressing anyone, get someone else's religion tattooed to your neck. If you are Catholic, get some cool Sanskrit ink you can't read or understand. If you are Hindu, get one of those cool, goth, bleeding carpenter tattoos.
- Foreigner. Your own culture is boring. Everyone speaks the same language, eats the same food and likes the same sports. Adopt a new culture and tattoo it to your neck so everyone can see how multicultural you are. Asian characters are great because even if you forget what it says, you can make something up.
- Clone. We are all stars or butterflies in this inked life. The tramp stamp is passé so if you need to copy your friend's cute star or butterfly design, you should definitely one up her. No one will look at her ass anymore because they are too busy staring at your neck in awe.
- Drugs. Drugs are great and you should defiantly let everyone know you do them. The marijuana thing is a little over done though so maybe you should get into opiates. Or better yet, pay homage to the little drug vices we often neglect to brag about. Picture how cool a Starbucks double caramel macchiato will look on your neck.
- Straight. Nothing shouts masculinity more than emo tattoos. If you are man enough to sport vampire fang bites on your neck without blushing like a twelve year old girl, than go for it Count.
- Obscure. As neck tattoos increase in popularity, you will have to come up with weirder and weirder designs to throw off popular scent. Avoid zombie wounds, Rihanna inspiration and tribal marks. To be the obscurest, coolest kid on the block, get Jimmy Carter's grinning head inked on your neck. The 39th President is coming back en vogue. That freak put solar panels on the Whitehouse in the 70's. Hardcore!
- Musical. Any 10 neck tattoo ideas will have some sort of a warning about tattooing a popular band name. Screw that. This is your neck and that is an insanely popular band. At least people staring at you in reverence will recognize the band name Slayer. That's the band you were thinking of right?
- Barcode. Getting a barcode tattoo on your neck is totally original. Plus it makes some sort of a statement as you stand there in your Nikes, wearing your Gap clothes while reading email from your Gmail account. When the tattoo artist asks what digits she should carve into your neck, give her your social security number.

This Resilient Commodity to Ready for a Big Comeback
On goes the government impasse. In fact, it could last a few more days leading up to the debt ceiling deadline next Thursday. In my opinion, it's only going to get uglier from here.
While I could continue to discuss the politicking in Washington, I'm going to take a break. Well, kind of. With 800,000 federal workers without any pay, it's going to be tough.
But people still have to eat and survive in spite of the lack of a paycheck—and of course, investors are still looking to profit in spite of the U.S. government shutdown.
A sector I feel will benefit from the impasse is the discount retail sector. With less money to spend, it wouldn't be a surprise to see many of those 800,000 workers look for cheaper digs to buy goods and services, which is where the discount retail sector comes in.
Heck, I even think the discount retail sector, which did really well coming out of the 2008 recession, will continue to do well even after the government impasse, as people will still have a tendency to gravitate to bargains, especially in a market of uncertainties.
At the top of my list is Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT), which continues to be the "Best of Breed" in the discount retail sector.
Aside from Wal-Mart, when it comes to big-box stores, there's also Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST), which may be another strong play in the discount retail sector.
On a smaller scale, take a look at Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG), with over 10,800 stores spread across 40 states as of August 2, 2013. Unlike Wal-Mart and Costco, Dollar General is much more price-conscious, selling goods at prices of up to a few dollars.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
Dollar General has beaten the Thomson Financial consensus earnings-per-share (EPS) estimate in four straight quarters and shows decent revenue growth going forward. Revenues are estimated to run up 10.7% to $17.73 billion for fiscal 2014 (ending in January), followed by another 10.0% to $19.51 billion in fiscal 2015, according to Thomson Financial. Dollar General's growth metrics are superior to those of both Wal-Mart and Costco in the discount retail sector, making it a good stock to add to your radar.
On the mid-cap discount retail sector side, my favorite is PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSMT), a discount retailer with a focus on the Caribbean. PriceSmart's growth metrics are also superior to both Wal-Mart and Costco's.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
Should the two political parties in Washington continue to squabble, with each passing day, many of the workers told to stay home will need to budget and spend wisely—that will mean trips to the discounters. So throughout the remainder of the government shutdown (however long that will be) and in a market still full of uncertainties thereafter, you may want to add some stocks from the discount retail sector to your radar.

Yes although the direct subject of the case was whether or not the species should be listed as considered threatened.
Oh so you are a comic genius in your own lunchbox laughing at your own supposed jokes, as well as an arch-detective of missing shouts (that actually aren't missing).Obviously, you missed the humour of my post (everyone else got a good chuckle out of it).
Big hint for you buster, if it's actually funny you won't need to tell everyone how funny you were being.
Given that you could not celebrate your own site's birthday on the correct day and have just falsely implied a shout was deleted from CC when it wasn't, who you think makes anyone look like you is neither here nor there.Even Firegoat7 has made you look like a complete clown on multiple occasions.
Actually I apologise to complete clowns for comparing them to you. You are a mentally incomplete clown.
It is obvious that you are extremely easily bored. For you to be bored by something that had actually never happened at all would not be news.In fact he was doing so often that it got kind of boring.

Elizabeth Dunn from British Columbia University did an interesting research, measuring happiness before and after the experiment, with everyone from group A giving 20$ to someone from group B, and everyone from group B spending the money on something they wanted but wouldn't spend their money on it.
According to the result, the people from group A had an increase on overall daily happiness, the people from group B had no change or a decrease in their overall daily happiness.
I always allocated 5-10% of my total income to "Give" account, now i find out why is it so important to do that. Some of my friend prefer to donate a part of their time, but each of us can choose the best alternative, as time is money. At the end of the day, who can put a price on happiness?
Another similar experiment, on toddlers this time, showed the same conclusion, that giving make us happy.

Martilde 1994 "Zaffo" Oltrepò Pavese Bonarda ($18.99)
Bonarda, an unusual red grape from the Oltrepò Pavese region in Lombardy, Northern Italy, is one of those confusing varieties in which the same name pops up in different places attached to entirely different grapes; different wines bearing the same name are also found in the Piemonte and Argentina. This one, experts say, is probably the same as Croatina. Whatever it is, this wine is good ... unusually good, with noteworthy depth and complexity. Inky dark garnet in color, it offers black-fruit and floral aromas of roses, a whiff of anise and a subtle, earthy hints of "forest floor" and restrained "barnyard." Bright sour-cherry fruit flavors are structured with tart, lemony acidity. Full yet cleansing, it's a fine food wine. As a limited-production oddity, it may be hard to find, but if it turns up in your area, it's worth the toll. U.S. importer: Elizabeth Imports, Denver. (May 18, 1999)
FOOD MATCH: Conchiglie (shell pasta) tossed with Italian sausage, mozzarella and ricotta and a bit of fresh tomato sauce.

Former OC GOP chair Scott Baugh took his hefty bank account down to the county ROV and pulled papers for Congress in CD-48 challenging long time incumbent Dana Rohrabacher and raising fears that the multiple Democrats in the race will splinter the Blue vote enough to allow two Republicans to emerge at the top of ballot for Congress.
Rohrabacher still has the name ID and Republicans in OC generally don't like when another Republican challenges an incumbent running for re-election. For Baugh to challenge Rohrabacher is rich — given his history of discouraging the very sort of campaigns he has now launched.
While voter registration does favor the GOP in CD-48, all the Democrats have filed for the June primary and will be on the ballot. Can one candidate emerge?
The CDP has an endorsed candidate in this race. With the exception of one candidate for Congress with a questionable D next to his name, all of the candidates on the Democratic side are good candidates. It's going to come down to who can turn out the vote. Dana has name ID; Baugh has money. Republicans in the district who don't like Trump may gravitate to Baugh. It's also not inconceivable that Rohrabacher finishes out of the top 2.
The big question is are there enough Democrats rallying behind one candidate to push that person to the top 2? And it's become a very interesting race indeed.

The first phase of the mega Polavaram project on the Godavari will be completed by the Andhra Pradesh government with the assistance of the Union Government. This will release water even into the left canal by 2018, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, reportedly mentioned. He recently laid the foundation stone for the expansion of the Madhurapudi Airport at a cost of Rs 202 crore. Further, 857 acre has been acquired for the airport expansion works.
It is known that the runway will be extended to facilitate the landing of bigger aircrafts, as well as other facilities will be upgraded at the airport. The airport expansion works will pave the way for the development of the two Godavari districts. And, Rs 300 crore has been reportedly spent for land acquisition.
Naidu is determined to completing the Polavaram project and lay a firm foundation for the prosperity of the two Godavari districts in particular and the state in general. The Union Government has also asured that it will take the necessary steps to improve the airports in Andhra Pradesh. Further, the recent package sanctioned by the Centre for the state is expected to pave the way for its all-round development. Also, the foundation stone for BEL's Advanced Night Visions Products factory at Nimmaluru, Krishna district was laid. The project will have an investment of Rs 300 crore over the next four years and employment of nearly 1,000. The state government has provided 50 acre in the village which is near Machilipatnam.

Small Dog Health Problems
Small dogs usually live longer than larger dogs, but their increased lifespan doesn't necessarily guarantee good health. In fact, these five conditions and diseases are more likely to occur in sma ...View Article

Pet Vomiting
Pet vomiting is often scary for pet owners and the question always is, do I need the services of an emergency veterinarian? Fortunately, most cases of pet vomiting are a simple stomach upset. On the other hand, vomiting can be an indication of a serious problem. Our emergency vet at the Animal Emergency Centre in Studio City is always here to treat pet vomiting when the need arises.
It's important to know the differences between two forms of stomach upset resulting in expelled food or water. Regurgitation originates in the pet's esophagus and comes on suddenly and silently. The risk with regurgitation is that some of the material, consisting of saliva, water and food that has not been digested, can be sucked back into the larynx causing aspiration pneumonia. This condition requires immediate treatment by our emergency vet. On the other hand, with pet vomiting, expelled food or liquid originates in the stomach, can be semisolid, and is preceded by coughing or retching.
Before your pet vomits, you may notice some signs that the event is about to occur. These signs include drooling, constant swallowing and standing still with head lowered. You may notice that your pet is eating grass, a common action that often actually promotes vomiting in an effort to self-medicate and relieve the distress.
When your pet has any digestive distress that causes vomiting, he or she will need comforting. Here are some things you can do to make your pet feel better:
Withhold food for at least 12 hours, followed by introduction of a bland diet of either boiled hamburger or chicken mixed with rice. Begin with very small amounts to see if your pet can hold it down without becoming sick.
Give water in small amounts: try giving your pet an ice cube to lick every half hour
If your pet tolerates the water, you can give him or her full access to the water bowl after 12 hours.
When a pet is vomiting severely, you need to bring him or her to our emergency veterinarian as soon as possible. Check your pet's skin and gums for pale color and note his or her behavior. Strange behavior along with gum and skin color can be signs that your pet is either going into or in shock. Other indications of emergency include:
Blood in the vomit
Retching without vomiting
Bloating and swelling in the abdomen
Beyond a simple stomach upset, there are many things that can cause pet vomiting. These include:
Internal illnesses: pancreatitis, hepatitis, diabetes, kidney disease
Contagious diseases: possible for pets who have not been vaccinated
Intestinal blockages
If your pet is in experiencing any degree of vomiting, we urge you to come to our Animal Emergency Centre here in Studio City for immediate treatment by our emergency vet. Questions? Give us a call today to learn more!

The history of stealth aircraft design remains shrouded in secrecy. Though selected details regarding the development of such successful stealth aircraft as the Lockheed Martin F-117, Northrop Grumman B-2 and Lockheed Martin F-22 have come to light in recent years, information on the unrealized projects and studies that preceded these aircraft has been less easy to come by, as most remain classified.
One study that has come to light is the McDonnell Douglas Model 226-458 Quiet Attack Aircraft (QAA) of 1974, a project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research that offers a snapshot of the state of stealth aircraft development in the early 1970's. The Model 226-458 is briefly mentioned in the book Advanced Tactical Fighter to F-22 Raptor: Origins of the 21st Century Air Dominance Fighter by David C. Aronstein et al., an excellent technical history of the F-22. This article summarizes a declassified report covering certain aspects of the QAA study.
Reduction of aircraft radar cross section (RCS) became a big priority for the US military in the aftermath of the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, in which large numbers of Israeli aircraft were downed by Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles over a very short period of time. Realizing the same fate could befall the US if it ever got into an all-out conflict with the Soviet Union, the Air Force and Navy began to invest more heavily in technologies to reduce RCS.
Initially, creating a stealthy design was a matter of trial and error. Modeling clay was progressively applied and shaped on models, which were then sent to an RCS range for testing. It was a slow and inexact process, but significant progress was nonetheless made. Aircraft from this period that resulted from this approach typically featured extensive surface blending, exemplified by the portly Northrop Tacit Blue; the Model 226-458's elegantly blended airframe suggests that it was also designed in this manner.
McDonnell Douglas was supposedly the among first US aerospace companies to arrive at a determination of what the RCS levels had to be in order for an aircraft to avoid detection while performing a useful military mission. This was in no small part due to their ownership of the Grey Butte Microwave Measurement Facility, one of the best test ranges in existence for measuring very low RCS values. According to Bill Sweetman, Grey Butte was originally established by McDonnell Astronautics for reentry vehicle testing. Lockheed and Northrop also conducted various tests at Grey Butte. However, unlike its rivals, McDonnell Douglas seems to have come up short in designing an aircraft that could achieve the desired RCS levels.
The QAA program was an exploratory investigation to conduct applied research on the feasibility and potential operational value of a covert, quiet, carrier-based aircraft for Navy/Marine Corps missions. RCS reduction was achieved through the filleting of corners and blending of the wing and tail surfaces into the fuselage, employing a v-tail and providing an internal weapons bay. At the time, previous attempts at signature reduction on military aircraft had focused on the reduction of one signature or fixes on existing aircraft, such as the application of RAM (radar absorbent material) to areas of high radar reflectivity. The Model 226-458 was designed from the outset to reduce all signatures to a level that would permit covert operations and reduce vulnerability.
In order to develop the stealthiest aircraft possible, a baseline aircraft was required against which the impact of design changes could be compared. McDonnell's first study in the QAA program was the Model 226-450A, which was developed without any attempt at signature reduction, making it the smallest and lightest of the configurations studied in the program. This project was powered by one non-afterburning turbofan engine of low bypass ratio. This aircraft carried all stores externally and was in the same size and weight class of the A-4 Skyhawk.

Ha! This game is awesome.
That's way cooler than the North American version. Oh well.
Also, courier and collection missions just need to go away completely. They're lazy and pointless. I don't see any reason for them to exist at all.
I'd just say have patience. It's pretty slow for a bit once you make it to the Citadel for the first time.
Dang. I was really hoping they would open up Omega as a hub once you finish it. Oh well, I suppose I'll get this at some point down the road.
Wow, well said. You pretty much nailed it.
Uh did you read the article? It refers to ACII, AC:B, and AC:R - the three games Ezio starred in.
Odin Sphere is 5 bucks this week. It shall finally be mine.
Well, if you would read review, he states many reasons why he thinks the game deserves such a score.
How is the Starchild a boss in any way? Yeah, he's pretty lame, but he doesn't belong on this list.
Yup. Any incentive to jump back in is alright by me - just an absolute pleasure to play.
The best way to play Borderlands 2 is however the hell you want to.
Huh, the doppelganger from Bastion. In what universe is that even remotely scary?
If you're using Firefox, try using the Adblock Plus add-on. It's awesome.
I'd only get it at midnight if you really plan to play it right when you get home. It seems like you have to work in the morning, so I'd just wait. I am lucky to have Tuesday through Friday off, so I sure as hell am going at midnight.
I wish I could unread this review.
That means that one of the monsters in the movie will be modeled after one from the game.
Just picked it up on Steam for like 3 bucks...Booyah..looks real fun.
Sweet lord this game is going to be nuts. Sigh...one more week.
Double post...d'oh!

Turbulent viscosity in clumpy accretion disks
II. Supernova driven turbulence in the Galaxy
Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Auf dem Hügel 69, 53121 Bonn, Germany
Corresponding author: B. Vollmer, email@example.com
Accepted: 18 March 2003
An analytical model for a turbulent clumpy gas disk is presented where turbulence is maintained by the energy input due to supernovae. Expressions for the disk parameters, global filling factors, molecular fractions, and star formation rates are given as functions of the Toomre parameter Q, the ratio between the cloud size and the turbulent driving length scale δ, the mass accretion rate within the disk , the constant of molecule formation α, the disk radius, the angular velocity, and its radial derivative. Two different cases are investigated: a dominating stellar disk and a self-gravitating gas disk in z direction. The turbulent driving wavelength is determined in a first approach by energy flux conservation, i.e. the supernovae energy input is transported by turbulence to smaller scales where it is dissipated. The results are compared to those of a fully gravitational model. For and both models are consistent with each other. In a second approach the driving length scale is directly determined by the size of supernovae remnants. Both models are applied to the Galaxy and can reproduce its integrated and local gas properties. The influence of thermal and magnetic pressure on the disk structure is investigated. We infer and –0.1 yr-1 for the Galaxy.

Art Feierman over at ProjectorReviews.com takes a long look at the Epson Ensemble HD packages and pens a thorough review for your reading pleasure. We pulled a few excerpts from his review and are adding just a touch of our own commentary, though none of us have seen the entire system in action yet.
Last month we talked about all the 'pieces parts' in the Ensemble HD packages and went over some of the basics of what's involved in the installation. We also taped our introduction to the product from Epson's Jeff Paiva. You can see that blog post here.
Early in his review, Art talks about what he sees as the target demographic for the Ensemble packages.
"The thing is, while many hard core enthusiasts will love the whole package, they aren't the market that the Ensemble HD is really targeted at.
The whole concept was to make building a projector based home theater in your house to be not significantly more complicated than installing one of those tiny 50 inch LCDTVs and surround sound system, and maybe less so.
That's the core reason I'm so enthusiastic about the concept. Most non-hard core enthusiasts prefer to avoid having to figure out their room, separately selecting projector, screen, AV receiver, DVD/Blu-ray player, speakers, subwoofer, a programmable remote (and programming it), and the much longer times it would take for all the individual components to be assembled and installed."
Art goes on to review each of the three systems independently, which is essentially the Home Cinema 720, Home Cinema 6100, and the Home Cinema 6500 UB – plus all the additional stuff. Below I took a paragraph or two from the 6500 UB Ensemble review.
"My theater 2 in my home has an Ensemble HD (with the older projector). I love it. For me, it also keeps my wife and daughter out of my primary theater, my wife loves it (and she can turn it on and use it all by herself) . She's much too intimidated to run my main theater (all those remotes, etc). My daughter loves it too, not just for the picture but for the "rock'in sound quality.
I will continue to be a huge fan of the Ensemble concept (and similar products from other brands that likely will hit the market), because, as I like to say, "this is the solution for everyone else." "Everyone else" might be defined as those who just want a painless way to get a quality, large screen home theater system in their house, with the minimum of fuss, and without requiring a ton of research to come up with a good solution. In other words, the kind of folks who have considered a projector based home theater system, but were too intimidated, and instead plunked down the bucks for a big LCDTV."
We have to agree with Art whole-heartedly on this one. The concept is a great one for those people who don't want to have to do extensive research, but still want a complete package. Just like we said in our earlier blog about the Epson Ensemble HD packages, they really are *everything* you need in one purchase.
Projector Central may be reviewing the Ensemble HD packages soon too, we will try and post that here too when it is complete.

Lenovo Overtakes HP as the Top PC Vendor as U.S. Shipments Stabilize
Worldwide PC shipments totaled 75.6 million units in the second quarter of 2013 (2Q13), down -11.4% compared to the same quarter in 2012 but slightly better than expected, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker.
The U.S. market saw a decline in shipments of just -1.9%, a substantial improvement from double-digit declines in three of the past four quarters. While positive, this recovery was enabled by lower volume in 2Q12 and supported by a marked reduction in old inventory that enabled a more aggressive channel uptake. Additionally, wider selections of Windows 8 models offered by top vendors and migration from Window XP to Win7 helped to push volume higher than anticipated. Dell managed to climb above 3.8 million units for the first time since 2011, gaining a few points of share in the U.S. PC market. HP maintained its leadership position, growing roughly even with the market. These two vendors represented nearly 50% of total U.S. PC shipments in 2Q13.
All in the Numbers
The numbers reflect a market that is still struggling with the transition to touch-based systems running Windows 8 as well as justifying ultrabook prices in the face of economic pressures and competition from tablets and other devices. A silver lining is that a number of vendors and regions seemed to be focused on inventory reduction during the second quarter, which could reflect planned launches of new models as well as lower inventory going into the second half of the year. However, it also reflects some caution among vendors and the channels in the face of remaining challenges for PCs and more than a year of declining shipments.
"With second quarter growth so close to forecast, we are still looking for some improvement in growth during the second half of the year," said Jay Chou, Senior Analyst, IDC Worldwide PC Tracker. "Slower growth in Europe and China reflect the risks, while the improved U.S. outlook reflects potential improvement. Still, the weakness in emerging markets is a threat to a core long-term growth area. In addition, while efforts by the PC ecosystem to bring down price points and embrace touch computing should make PCs more attractive, a lot still needs to be done in launching attractive products and addressing competition from devices like tablets."
One positive sign is that HP and Dell saw growth improve over recent quarters, possibly indicating stronger performance in coming quarters and reflecting more commercial replacements as we get closer to the end of Windows XP support. Market leader Lenovo also grew faster than the market (as well as faster than HP and Dell) although Lenovo growth slipped below zero at -1.4% and was down from prior quarters. Slow growth for Lenovo reflects the company's focus on China, which represents over 50% of Lenovo shipments, and where short-term economic and inventory hurdles cut into 2Q13 shipments.
"The U.S. market is beginning to reflect some of the Windows XP to Windows 7 transition we've been expecting in the commercial PC space, as evidenced by the strong growth in the enterprise-focused Dell PC business," said Bob O'Donnell, Program Vice President, Clients and Displays. "We're also starting to see more stabilization in shipments, which we think is a reflection of PC lifetimes finally starting to even out after a long period of gradual increase. The end result should be more PC replacements, even if consumers and companies are selective in making replacements and wait until PCs are older before replacing them."
Lenovo Takes Top Spot
Lenovo took the top PC vendor title, continuing its streak of gains following channel expansion and solid product development. In 2Q13, Lenovo continued to make impressive gains outside of APeJ. However, the headwinds in China continued to affect its home turf significantly. Lenovo ended the quarter with a double-digit decline in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan). Overall growth has slowed from prior quarters, and slipped into negative territory this quarter, but still outpaced the market and top competitors.
HP slipped to second place, but growth improved from recent quarters. The company received a strong boost from shipments to India as part of large education projects. Shipments continued to decline significantly in EMEA, although the company's U.S. business stabilized a bit after a significant decline in the first quarter of 2013.
Dell despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding its restructuring, the firm performed above market with a decline of -4.5%. As with HP, this was a significant improvement from the past year that was aided by improving growth in the United States. The firm continued to seek opportunities at all levels of the pricing spectrum and managed to perform above market in all key regions except Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan).
Acer Group continued to see substantial declines in shipments across regions as the company was strongly impacted by weak consumer demand. Although it has been aggressive in expanding more premium offerings to offset falling mini notebook sales, Acer has been hampered by slow demand for pricier ultrabooks.
ASUS shipments were constrained by inventory clearance challenges in key regions. Despite its focus on innovative designs, its relative weakness in the commercial space coupled with an intrinsically depressed consumer market led the vendor to see a decline of over 20%.

We need a nice restaurant in the South Bay area to celebrate a family member's birthday on Sunday, Feb 20th. It can either be an order from the menu place or a buffet. It would be nice by the ocean but not critical. All we know is King Harbor ,eg Captain Kids or Quality Seafood and that's not really what we're looking for.
Any good suggestions?

Ten highlights from the Warsaw AV Show 2017
The 2017 Warsaw AV Show is in the books and its visitor numbers tallied: 14,000 people put their ears in the National Stadium, the Golden Tulip Hotel and the Sobieski Hotel during the show's three day run. Click here for a video overview.
This is what a less congested room looked like:
Breaking it down: 1400 visitors (10%) dropped by on Friday, 8400 (60%) on Saturday and 4200 (30%) on Sunday.
The seriously impressive head count was felt particularly strongly in Warsaw's National stadium on Saturday at 11am, a mere 60 minutes after doors clicked open.… Read the full article

Review for the CPA exam by using an exam review course, using audio review guides, practicing consistent and distraction-free study habits and allocating sufficient study time for each section. Only about 50 percent of test takers pass the CPA exam each year, so it's crucial for students to review for the test as much as possible.
Making use of an exam review program is one of the most effective ways to study for the CPA exam. There are many paid courses available that can help test takers improve their chances of passing the exam, though accounting site GoingConcern.com notes that the distinctions between these courses are typically small.
Utilizing audio review guides can help test takers maximize their study time. Audio review allows students to study during commutes, at the gym, while doing household chores or at any other time that's convenient. Using audio review can easily add hours to a student's study schedule.
It's vital to study not just diligently but consistently. Setting up a weekly study schedule and sticking to it is one of the best ways to actually retain information. Students should also try to eliminate distractions, studying without Internet or phone access.
The CPA exam has four sections of varying difficulty, so students can maximize studying efficiency by allocating more time to more difficult sections. Most experts acknowledge that the FAR is the most difficult section, requiring up to 180 hours of study. The BEC is commonly considered the easiest, requiring only around 100 hours of study.

Who's Chasing Sanitation?
Lisa and Liz met while working on the Park Slope Reader.
Liz was editing for it and hired Lisa as one of their contributing columnists. They enjoyed working together so much – well, Lisa got a wild idea about writing about and photographing Sanitation Workers after a SanMan made sure she got home safe one late night shortly after she moved to Brooklyn.
She invited Liz out for fried chicken and cocktails at Sidecar in Park Slope to woo her. And so, the two started their journey of falling in love with the entire Department of Sanitation. Both natives of Tennessee and residents of Brooklyn living two miles apart, the two girls couldn't have found a better project to come together on. The Sanitation Workers see them running after them with their camera, pen and curly hair and continue caving into their pleas of "no, we're not graduate students working on a garbage project – we want you" pleas for pictures and stories.
NEW YORK's STRONGEST.
… and we're complete pushovers.

AT least 117 Pakistani soldiers were buried after an avalanche smashed into their army base.
Helicopters, sniffer dogs and troops have been sent to the remote Siachen Glacier, in the Himalayas, to try to rescue the men trapped under 70ft of snow.
More than 12 hours after the disaster, no survivors had been found.
Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said: "We are waiting for news and keeping our fingers crossed.
"It's too early to say how many survived and how many bodies have been recovered."
He added: "It's on a massive scale. Everything is completely covered."
The avalanche hit the headquarters in the glacier's Gayari sector at 5:45am.
One officer said: "I can't comprehend how an avalanche can reach that place. It was supposed to be safe."
Siachen – known as the world's highest battlefield – is on the northern tip of the divided Kashmir region.
It is claimed by both India and Pakistan. Both countries station thousands of troops there, who brave viciously cold temperatures, altitude sickness and high winds for months at a time.
Troops have been deployed at up to 22,000ft and have skirmished since 1984, though the area has been quiet since a 2003 ceasefire.
The headquarters is the main gateway through which troops and supplies pass on the way to remote outposts.
It is situated in a valley, close to a military hospital.
More soldiers have died from the harsh weather than fighting on the glacier.
Conflict there began in 1984 when India occupied the heights of the 49-mile-long glacier, fearing Pakistan wanted to claim the area.
Pakistan also deployed its troops.
Both armies remain entrenched despite the ceasefire, costing the poverty-stricken countries many millions of pounds each year.
Pakistan and India have fought three wars since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947.

Tour de Farce
I agree with your comment 'bout bad cycling clothes
Please design bike-wear both aero and chic.
(And helmets that don't bring out everyone's geek).
As for bikers and stop signs: I do sympathize
But, indulge for a sec in this mind exercise:
Suppose when your Yugo was brought to a stop
you had to unclip from the brake pedal's top
throw open your door, slam your foot on the ground --
Wouldn't you tend to instead just slow down?
I know it's not right, but lets cool the grandstanding.
Not asking forgiveness -- just more understanding.
Illegal on sidewalks, un-welcome on streets,
urban biking is not the most stress-free of feats.
If I had a nickel for every close shave
with some cell-talking douche in a big Escalade . . .
Don't forget that for every damn bike you see out there
there is one less Corolla polluting the air.
One less commuter car riding your ass,
and one less fat dude in your gym's spinning class
So please give a break to us crazy bike riders.
It's scary as shit sharing streets with you drivers.
If you stubbornly want to play chicken instead,
Note: Your car might get scuffed, but we bikers get dead.
