There is a couple Hentai like that...
I mean I wouldn't know anything about that sort of thing *ahem*
Yes, we are not interested in those kinds of things, we only watch anime for story. Fanservice is not acceptable ever. Hentai is something I have never looked at ever in my life. I don't even know how to spell henteaiyie.

in 10 years I want to have traveled and understood life from different perspectives, and become someone of great wisdom (;
Ya know what. Fuck that.
I swear to God if there ever is one, if some genius compliments me, well...thanks are in order. One messy hair, one hat, and one standing. For those who can't see, I'm wearing a mood bullet necklace, and a Christian necklace with a cross. Yeah, not a Christian, but one day I'll switch. It's on my list of things to do.
And if anybody rips on my looks, why I think an internet beating is in order. Just kidding.
I'm too fucking lazy to change my online status. Never assume I'm always on CR.
What is the funnest thing you've ever done?
Camping trip with four of my closest friends. Five unsupervised guys a few weeks shy of becoming adults, four days of camping supplies, one flatbed truck in the middle of the Mojave, sand dunes, and holding onto for dear life as we went "off roading" in said truck going 40 mph while riding in the back.
What are the most important lessons you've learned in life?

HOw about we shorten it and say, one of the funnest things I have done in the past year was go to The Swallowtail Buttler cafe in Ikebekuro, Japan. They treat you like a princess and they are all handsome Japanese men.
What are the most important lessons you've learned in life? Live in the moment, treat others how you want to be treated, live everyday like its your last, DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY.

I'll be sticking to the script as it's monday morning and I don't feel the need to be original quite yet.
What is the funnest thing you've ever done?
This is actually a pretty hard question for me, my life in general is quite fun.
I think I'll stick to my first Japan trip as a highlight.
What are the most important lessons you've learned in life?
Find something new to laugh about every day.
Live your life they way you see right, not the way other people tell you to.
Workfor a good life but do not live to work.
What is the most risky thing you've ever done?
I can't really say I've ever taken big risks in my life.
What was your first kiss like?
You mean the meeting of teeth?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 20?
Maybe I'll be maried, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll have children, maybe I won't.
I could have a great carreer by then, or maybe I'll end up homeless and broke, I could win a lottery and will never have to work again.
Maybe I'll get hit by a car tomorrow or maybe I'll grow old enough to meet my great grandchildren.
Honestly, I have no idea and I don't want to think about it either.

Me when my hair is done XDD
My friends and i at the before party haha
and a picture of now (i go from long to that style so many times XD)
More fun pictures XD
haha, oldish :P
my first kiss i think was kinda funny, when i kissed my girlfriend at the time, she looked at me, after we were done and told me that i kissed like a girl XD, then later on in about..5 years late another girl had will to say it again. haha only happened 2 times in my life, but it made me wonder if that was a good thing or not XD more so, how did they know? oh i could go crude and say the reasons for it, but i'll stay kind and say experimentation, still i found it kinda funny that i (a guy) was told that i kissed like a girl, though it wasn't out of..annoyance, i could tell they didn't mind it. But still so funny no? Other then that, i think it was pretty awesome, i liked the tender softness of women lips XDDD it's just tasty :P
Important lessons? Pick your friends. I think that was the most important lesson i had, i could go through tones of life lessons. But my grand father told me even before going to school, that picking your friends was one of the most important things in the world to do. He was right, as i managed to get a hold of people i would die to protect. I can say i honestly love them (in a brotherly way) so haha it's pretty cool :D
Funniest thing i ever did...I fell off a cliff, and caught myself with my thighs on a branch XD Holding it i pulled myself up, and laughed about it. It was pretty funny :3 i guess a more non life threatening funny was when i told my friend to follow me, in teaching him how to balance himself better for our training, and i landed up falling over and landing in the water XD haha Oh another funny moment was when my bud and i were camping and we were both sleeping, then the next morning we woke up, and he was covered in water and half the tent was soaked cause it rained over night, we were lower then they rest of the place on the mountain we were on XDD he woke up swimming and hit me in the face haha.
In 10 years, i can't really say. I mean essentially, one can never really predict the future. The best possible result would be the company works out, my game gets released, people buy it, i release my writing, get back into one of my bands, and there you go get a girlfriend, and possibly get married and have kids. 10 years is kinda long XD so haha. I think my standing problem is probably my lack of feeling the need to have a girlfriend. XD but eh, that is one thing on top of another that doesn't relate to the question.
Hmm biggest risk, would have to be.....mountain climbing up wet rocks with my bud haha. other then that...hi =D haha

- architecture for humanity's kate stohr on Design Like You Give A Damn 2Not only does Architecture for Humanity improve people's lives through architecture and design, but they have time to write books about it. Only six years after their first book comes Design Like You Give A Damn [2]: Building Change From the Ground Up, a second work which chronicles over 100 projects from around the world that address issues such as disaster reconstruction, shelter, education, and the basic needs of communities. Edited by the amazing team at Architecture for Humanity and published by Abrams, DLYGAD[2] goes more into detail about how each project came about and provides an informative source from which communities can learn to accomplish their own projects just the same. Recently we caught up with Kate Stohr, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity, to find out more about this second book and the things she learned while working on it. PLUS, we're giving away a copy, so read on to hear Kate's answers and learn how you can win a book of your own!1

Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Behavior, August 1997 (ICPSR 4391)
Principal Investigator(s): University of Michigan. Survey Research Center. Economic Behavior Program
This survey was undertaken to measure changes in consumer attitudes and expectations, to understand why such changes occur, and to evaluate how they relate to consumer decisions to save, borrow, or make discretionary purchases. This type of information is essential for forecasting changes in aggregate consumer behavior. Since the 1940s, these surveys have been produced quarterly through 1977 and monthly thereafter. Each monthly survey probes a different aspect of consumer confidence. Open-ended questions are asked concerning evaluations and expectations about personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. Additional questions inquired about buying intentions for automobiles and computers, and the respondents' appraisals of present market conditions for purchasing houses, automobiles, computers, and other durables. Also explored in this survey were respondents' types of savings and financial investments, loan use, family income, and sources of income. Other questions focused on respondents' use of personal computers at home and in the office, respondents' familiarity with and use of the Internet, and respondents' ownership, lease, and use of automobiles. Demographic information includes ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, and education.

2010 Elantra....transmission failed at 2600 miles!

My 2010 elantra with 48500 miles on it needs a new transmission. And Hyundai tried to give a hard time replacing it.
Again, not surprised. I figure I'll get some reporters on the issue when problems come up. If they're enough issues and they may affect your life, attention will be placed on the manufacturer (maybe).
I read a bunch of metric-related data on the internet. Many of you probably saw the push for Hyundai during the Super Bowl. It's the adverting/marketing that's pushing up their mark. It's also getting y'all to register on Hyundai's website so they can keep track of you and market to you (and me but I clearly told them nothing was going on their website from me and I refused to give them a VIN).
The cars supposedly got better since I last look at the piece of junk and took two for a test drive many years ago. It feels good and I am concerned about what will go wrong because customer support at corporate is useless and I don't trust the local service at the dealership to repair the car right since I was lied to by the service manager (explained by the general manager - he was just trying to bring in business).

The Gold Cup Final at Soldier Field meant that even though the Fire were in Houston on Saturday, Chicago would not be deprived of live soccer this weekend. Thank goodness. From a Fire point of view, it's pretty special that Sean Johnson and alum DaMarcus Beasley overlapped on this USMNT squad.
The game itself wasn't as exciting as you could have hoped from the two best Gold Cup teams. Panama's tight defense kept the U.S. side from running at them the way they ran at Honduras and El Salvador and they never looked like they would put up the crooked numbers that defined their tournament.
BLOG: Beasley captains USMNT to 5th Gold Cup title
There were even a few times when the game looked like a cagey MLS match, with a challenger in town to try to steal the day, staying taut, and not making mistakes. But the USMNT wore down Panama, took their best (and really only clear cut) chance, held on against a barrage of balls floated into the box in the final minutes and were crowned deserved champions.
How nice would it be to see the Fire handle games like that? On Saturday, we saw the Fire come back from behind yet again. We saw them nearly nick all three points and then nearly lose them all. We saw flashes of dangerous counterattacks and Paolo Tornaghi making some big saves. Most of all, we saw despite obvious improvements over the last trip to Houston, the team is still missing one little bit of finality in both halves.
Back in April, the 2013 Fire v1.0 went to Houston with the goal of slowing the game down, playing calmly and controlling the match. The greenhouse (orange-house?) that is BBVA Compass Stadium dictated that, and we saw players run themselves dead on that afternoon, which also included a vintage Brad Davis garbage goal, Wells Thompson, and a last minute Jeff Larentowicz hit off the crossbar (HIGHLIGHTS from April 14).
On Saturday, the 2013 Fire v2.0 went to Houston with a different mindset. They went to play, to take some initiative. You could see it at the beginning of the game and at the beginning of the second half when Lindpere and Nyarko were pushed way up the field on the outside.
HIGHLIGHTS: Fire earn tough 1-1 draw in Houston
Alas, the result wasn't much different. Houston, one of the hardest teams to beat away in the history of MLS, controlled the game. The Fire looked absolutely spent at the end of the game, much of which they spent chasing the orange midfielders around and trying to clear their persistent crosses into the box.
But the difference this time around was the way in which the Fire actually looked dangerous at times, stealing into Houston's half on counter attacks and nearly grabbing the lead on a late Chris Rolfe chance.
In April, we looked at the difficulty of balancing the mindset to calm the game down without sacrificing the risk-taking attitude needed to be offensive, to attack. Now, with Bakary Soumare and Mike Magee (and the Alex/Larentowicz partnership), it seems like 2013 Fire v2.0 are poised to find that balance.
As another new striker and the All-Star break arrive, maybe the Fire will find that teeny bit of difference. If so, next time we play Houston at Toyota Park in September, they'll be the ones wilting, exhausted after falling to 2013 Fire v3.0

Cavaliers power forward Jon Leuer was one of the few bright spots in the preseason loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
He doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of not making the team, but he might have trouble earning minutes.
The 6-foot-10, 228-pounder was claimed off waivers from the Houston Rockets on July 18.
The Cavs were intrigued by his size and skill set. Teams are always on the lookout for "bigs."
Examining the Cavs' power forward position, however, Tristan Thompson is expected to start. Samardo Samuels has been one of the best players in training camp thus far and will likely earn the bulk of the backup minutes.
That might not leave a lot of playing time for Leuer, a former standout at the University of Wisconsin.
He converted his first four field-goal attempts against Milwaukee on Tuesday at Canton Civic Center. He finished with eight points, six rebounds and a block. On the downside, he missed his last five shots from the floor.
The former guard is no slouch handling the ball. He said he was a 6-foot freshman at Orono (Minn.) High School. By the time he graduated, he had grown to 6-10.
"I definitely feel like that's a strength of my game, my ability to handle it, make plays for others and create off the dribble," Leuer said. "I feel like I can come in and provide energy, provide a big with a versatile skill set that can stretch the floor. I think they see that in me."
He can shoot the 3-pointer, which does extend the opposing defenses. But he's not a high volume long-range shooter.
Leuer, 23, appears to be a player who can do several things pretty well, but nothing exceptionally.
"I've always had confidence in myself and confidence in my game," he said. "It's just a matter of getting the opportunities and being in the right situation."
He was drafted in the second round of the 2011 draft by Milwaukee. The Bucks traded him to Houston June 27 as part of the Samuel Dalembert deal. The Rockets waived him about a month later.
"I didn't see that coming at all," Leuer said. "Milwaukee needed a center and Houston had a million things going on. It was a pretty crazy offseason, kind of a welcome to the free-agency frenzy for a young player.
"It's out of your control. I feel like I landed in a good spot here."
He's not quick enough to play small forward, nor is he big enough to log minutes at center. He said power forward is his natural position.
"That's what I'm comfortable playing," Leuer said. "(It's) not to say I can't play those other positions, but I feel I'm most effective as a '4.'"
Roster reduction
The Cavs waived point guard Kevin Anderson and swingman Justin Holiday on Wednesday. Both players appeared in one preseason game and scored three points. The roster stands at 18.
Three more players will have to go. One of the backup point guards will likely get the ax: Either Donald Sloan or Jeremy Pargo will probably be waived. Sloan is clearly ahead.
The Cavs won't likely keep all three power forwards: Luke Harangody, Luke Walton and Kevin Jones. One of that group will likely be waived. Jones was signed to a three-year contract, but only $50,000 is guaranteed this year. That shows the team sees promise in his ability. Walton, 32, will make $6.1 million this year. His contract might be needed in a deal at the trade deadline. Walton missed the Bucks preseason game with an undisclosed injury. Scott said he was "a little banged up."
Harangody has a contract for $1.1 million, which is fully guaranteed. However, he might be the odd man out.
Center Micheal Eric appears to be safe, even though he's done very little to warrant a roster spot.
The final cut could be swingman Kelenna Azubuike, unless the Cavs can find a taker for guard Daniel Gibson. Can they get a second-round pick for him?

The Bureau of Legislative Research on Tuesday said it had entered into contracts with Regional Economic Models, Inc. and Global Insights, Inc. to conduct an independent review of the proposed Big River Steel Project.
Regional Economic Models will conduct a cost/benefit analysis of the project and also look at the project's impacts in areas such as employment, taxes and revenue and population. The firm will be paid $29,000.
Global Insight will look at the same areas, but also analyze the project's capital costs, financing, economic incentives and the steel market. It will be paid $48,750.
Both reviews are due in two weeks.

Editor/Publisher's Column: Disruptive Voices of Love Shout Out
The audience at CO-OP's THINK conference was enthralled with Newark Mayor Cory Booker's story of working to clean up his city. They were entranced by the sprite-like singer Daria Musk's atypical rise to stardom, not to mention her powerful voice. Both speakers brilliantly met the expectations set by theme of the conference: Disrupt business as usual.
Booker approached Republicans by recognizing their disdain for big government. The prison system represents a large hunk of government spending, so let's change that. He implemented prison release programs, including one that trained fathers to work as partners with the mothers of their children, which helped drop the recidivism rate from 62% down to 7%. Newark experienced its first month without a murder in 40 years. Newark's population began growing again after 60 years of decline.
Booker also relayed a story from when he was a city councilman. He was approached by a resident of his ward regarding what Booker could do about an area where people were afraid to walk out their front doors. He had a heated exchange with the woman. and they hung up on each other. He felt powerless in that moment. He was ready to quit politics forever that night.
Booker arrived home in a sour mood, and a neighbor asked what his problem was, which he didn't want to discuss. She pried, and he burst out that he didn't know what to do about the situation, and he was finished. Booker explained that the neighbor said, "You know what you need to do." The young councilman waited patiently for the words of wisdom to pour out of her mouth. "You need to do "sumpin."'
Booker stomped up to his home for a serious meeting with his "buddies," Ben & Jerry. As he dug in, he slumped in his chair getting more and more disgusted with himself. He realized, 'I guess I better do 'sumpin."'
So Booker packed up a tent, drove to the troubled area and told his constituent, who was so upset with him that he didn't know what to do, that he would camp out there until he did. It wasn't long before several burly prison guards joined him because they were going to let him camp out there alone. And more people joined until hundreds filled the vacant lot. Eventually the then-mayor came out to the site and promised to build a park in that lot and clean up the area.
That mayor never did, but Booker followed through when he became mayor. But failure isn't failure unless you let it be a failure. There's always something to be gained from it, even if it's as simple as being reminded of the power of people to care.
Musician Daria Musk was spending a lot of time and energy playing gigs for a pittance, if that, as she was trying to get noticed in the music business. Like every budding artist, Musk was studying her business model and considering whether there was a faster, better way to reach more people with her music.
Google Plus hangouts, which allow live video chats to take place among several different people, were gaining traction. Musk contacted Google Plus, which recommended against the idea of a hangout concert because the audio was intended for vocals only and tuned out other noises.
She said, "O.K., thanks, but I'm going to try it anyway." Within just a few shows, each lasting several hours, she was reaching hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Her use of social media garnered attention from several of the mainstream news outlets that might not have paid attention to her otherwise. Musk was suddenly her own producer, marketer and recording studio, and she didn't need the self-important people in the music industry.
What does that say for their future? What might it portend for credit unions and other traditional financial services providers?
Musk was able to connect with fans individually from all over the globe using Google Plus, and all of them were holding up their hands to form the shape of a heart, Musk's own branding. For Musk and her fans, the experience was about the love of music and using technology to circumvent the establishment. She was able to form a direct connection and cared enough to find a way to do that.
Booker did nothing his parents and their friends hadn't done in the civil rights movement. It was nothing the Occupy Wall Street movement hadn't done. He simply bothered to care enough. He said, "I am where I am because of the disruptive force of love."
So, credit unions, how much do you care? And love?

Deer Path Farms, Hudson
Home size: 1,400 to over 6,000 square feet
Rooms: determined by buyer
Year built: new construction
Annual taxes: $16.38 per $1,000 assessed value (2013)
Asking Price: $400,000 to $3 million
Deer Path Farms is a luxury townhouse development with all the benefits of condo living and all the perks of single family home ownership in terms of custom design and privacy. No two homes are alike because the buyer works with the architect for as long as it takes to design his dream house. The sky's the limit whether it is number of bedrooms or the size of a garage, but the green-built, energy efficient homes tend to feature natural light from massive windows and skylights and each is in a private wooded setting.
The luxury townhouse development at Deer Path Farms in Hudson is a world unto itself with each home custom designed to suit the buyer's lifestyle.
The objective, according to architect and developer Jerry Sarno, is to work with each client to custom design a home that makes the homeowner happy every time he walks in the door.
Sarno's philosophy is simple: When a home is designed to meet a client's needs, his life is enriched, his family is happier, and that satisfaction ripples outward to affect others in his life and community.
"Every home is sold before we build it, so everyone can have the type of home they desire," said Sarno. "As you look around the Deer Path Farms community, it's like an oasis in the midst of other communities. It's a community unto itself."
Deer Path Farms is a 30 acre development along the Assabet River that has the feel of a country village with its curving gravel roads and homes tucked into swaths of lush greenery. The surrounding landscape has interest year-round with a variety of mature deciduous and evergreen trees that look beautiful ablaze with fall color, after a snowfall or laden with springtime buds and blossoms.
The site can accommodate up to 110 homes, with 52 built and many in the design stage. Eventually a number of $3 million single family detached houses will be built along the Assabet River section of the property.
Clients tend to come to Deer Path Farms through word-of-mouth, intrigued by the development after they hear about the unique way in which Sarno designs and builds homes to suit the buyer.
There is no plunking a home down on a site, no spec houses, and no cookie-cutter design. Everything is dictated from an architecture point of view and every home has to blend in and enhance what came before it.
Homes are sited with natural light as an important aspect of the design and the topography around each house is designed for privacy with mature trees, natural stone walls or hillocks to create the feel of a private enclave.
All of the houses are energy efficient and include fire and sprinkler systems, built with sustainable building methods and with the highest level of soundproofing, but these are the only "standard" features of the townhouses.
The size and price of the home is up to the client, and anything is possible. Homes can range in price from $400,000 to $3 million.
The buyer works with Sarno to design a home that perfectly matches the client's vision of his dream house.
"I sit down with each client and we just talk. I ask how they want to live, how do they want their home to feel, what impression do they want when they are driving up, and when they come in," said Sarno. "The objective is for people to feel very comfortable and happy when they are in their home. It is all pre-designed to suit their lifestyle."
There is no rushing a client, and if the client changes his vision of his ideal home from a rustic hideaway to a dramatic contemporary two months into the process, that's OK.
"The design process is as long as the client wants it to be," said Sarno. "We want everyone to be happy and visualize the space."
Sarno makes a cardboard model of each house as part of the process so that the client can visualize the space and think more deeply about how it works and how their furniture will fit into the scheme.
The client pays a $1,000 refundable deposit to begin the process, and Sarno reserves the right to turn away a client if he feels the evolving design does not fit the character of the development, but 99 percent of potential buyers turn into homeowners.
"Jerry is more than an architect. He's an amazing human and your thoughts all turn to reality," said a homeowner. "He wants it not only to be right, but to be all that it can be. And because he's very particular, that's a lot."
Like most of Deer Path residents, the homeowner visited a lot of condos that left her cold.
She wanted a smaller home and the benefits of a maintenance-free condo lifestyle, but not a small home feel, or a lack of privacy.
Today she has a townhouse with soaring ceilings, glass walls and skylights, a floating staircase and the feel of living in her own private sanctuary.
"This was such a perfect sum of all I wanted it to be," said the homeowner. "I feel as if I am living in a sculpture."
Sarno, who also lives in the development, wants Deer Path Farms to continue to be a vibrant community for years to come. Integral to each town house he designs is the ability to adapt it for future homeowners' needs whether that is expanding the home or adding a feature such as an elevator.
"I want this to constantly grow in value so people are happy and everyone's investment will escalate," said Sarno.
Sarno also works with homeowners who are ready to sell their townhouses and has a few homes available for re-sale.
Many buyers come to Deer Path Farms from the western suburbs of Boston, and are a mixture of empty nesters and business professionals who are active, educated and cosmopolitan. Many have second, third or fourth houses in other parts of the country and use Hudson as a base for its proximity to routes 495, 290 and the Mass Pike for easy access to Boston.
"Most have never lived in a condo and would never want to live in a condo," said Sarno. "Here it feels like a single family custom home, but with the benefits of condo services, energy efficiency, privacy and a carefree lifestyle."
Deer Path Farms received a 2007 Prism Award for best innovative land planning and a 2006 Luxury Living Silver Award for most beautiful custom home.

Angels overpowered by Astros in series finale
ANAHEIM -- Hours before the series finale against the Astros, Angels manager Mike Scioscia talked about the excessive workload his bullpen has had to endure this season.
Whether it has been the result of injuries or subpar starting pitching, the relievers have been feeling the effects of heavy usage and it was on display again as the Angels lost, 7-5, on Sunday afternoon at Angel Stadium.Full Game Coverage
ANAHEIM -- Hours before the series finale against the Astros, Angels manager Mike Scioscia talked about the excessive workload his bullpen has had to endure this season.
Whether it has been the result of injuries or subpar starting pitching, the relievers have been feeling the effects of heavy usage and it was on display again as the Angels lost, 7-5, on Sunday afternoon at Angel Stadium.Full Game Coverage
"This is a process," Scioscia said. "Our guys are trying, we're playing hard. You can see some of the holes that we are trying to give guys opportunities to fill, and that's where we are."
Jason Vargas lasted just 5 1/3 innings, leaving Juan Gutierrez, Kevin Jepsen and Michael Kohn to pitch the final 3 2/3 -- during which the Astros scored four runs on five hits.
After finishing off the sixth, Gutierrez allowed a single to L.J. Hoes to begin to seventh. Gutierrez retired the next two Astros, but an errant pickoff attempt allowed Hoes to advance to second.
With first base open, the Angels opted to intentionally walk switch-hitting Carlos Corporan, setting up a righty-righty matchup against Matt Dominguez, who made the Angels pay for that decision.
"They had confidence they could get me out more than they could get Carlos, and that's how baseball is," Dominguez said. "There are no hard feelings. I try to go up and do what I can, and I got a good pitch to hit. I was fortunate."
Dominguez, a native of Van Nuys, Calif., hit the first pitch he saw from Gutierrez -- a hanging slider -- into the bullpen area in left field.
"It just spun, stayed middle-in, and Dominguez didn't miss it," Scioscia said. "[Gutierrez] did a good job of making some pitches today, unfortunately the one that we really needed, he just hung it up a little bit. It happens."
The three-run homer, Dominguez's 16th of the season, gave the Astros a 6-3 lead and helped stick the Angels with another series loss -- their 22nd this season.
"We're going to keep playing hard and you have to tip your cap to Houston," Scioscia said. "They played us tough all year, they played us tough this series again."
Vargas, making his second start since he was activated from the disabled list with a blood clot near his left armpit, threw 95 pitches and allowed three runs on seven hits.
"He missed a little bit more than a month, there's going to be a little bit of rust," Scioscia said.
Although Vargas' outing as a whole was somewhat mediocre, it was a tale of two halves. In the first three innings, the left-hander struggled. Seven of the first 11 batters the Astros sent to the plate reached base and three of those scored.
The Astros scored in the first when Hoes hit a solo home run and then tacked on two more in the second.
However, Vargas settled down and retired nine straight to conclude his outing.
"The way he started, his first 35 to 40 pitches, he just didn't look in sync," Scioscia said. "He made some adjustments and actually finished strong. The last two innings he threw were terrific."
The Angels also experienced a scare when Mike Trout was removed from the game with tightness in his right hamstring.
"Out of the box, came around first, didn't really feel anything until I got to second base," Trout said referring to his third-inning double. "Just a little tightness."
Although he was unable to finish the game and was not sure if he would be in Monday's lineup, Trout did not believe the injury was anything serious.
"I just didn't want it to get worse," Trout said. "Didn't want to push it too much."
Mark Trumbo pulled the Angels within two in the eighth inning with a two-run shot -- his 28th home run of the season.
Josh Hamilton, on the heels of Saturday's walk-off home run, had another good day at the plate. After going 2-for-3 with a triple and a home run, Hamilton is 15-for-41 (.366) in his past 10 games.

The hearing on this motion by Le'oso for new trial or amendment of our judgment was continued several times so as to allow the parties to attempt a settlement.
At the most recent hearing, counsel for Le'oso and counsel for Iuli informed the Court that these parties had reached a settlement. The terms of this settlement appear to be that Iuli will cede to Le'oso a portion of the land held to be his family's property but presently occupied by members of the Le'oso family, and Le'oso will agree to the dismissal of his motion for new trial or amendment of the .judgment with respect to the remainder of this land. We have been promised a written stipulation, which we expect to receive momentarily and which will be entered as an amendment to our judgment.
The remainder of the Le'oso motion had to do with land held to be the property of Taeleiti. At the recent hearing we were also informed that Le'oso and Taeleifi had not reached a settlement. Each of these two [18ASR2d64] parties agreed that the motion (insofar as it relates to land held to be Taeleifi property) would be submitted to the Court on the previous post- trial submissions, along with any additional written submissions the parties should submit by February 8. We have, however, received a "supplemental memorandum" (filed February 8) from Taeleifi, to the effect that some sort of settlement has in fact been reached between him and Le'oso. The terms of this settlement, according to Taeleifi, are that Taeleifi will "designate a portion of said disputed land awarded to the Sa Taeleifi family, for the use and occupation by Le'oso family members." It appears, however, that the details are yet to be worked out and that the parties have agreed "for counsel Ripley's appeal [on behalf of Le'oso] to proceed" while the parties negotiate such details.
The court has received no additional submission from counsel for Le'oso and therefore assumes that Taeleifi's memorandum represents the understanding of all parties.
Accordingly, the motion by Le'oso for new trial, reconsideration, or amendment of judgment is denied for the reasons stated in Part III(F) of our original opinion. We note, however, one apparent factual error in that opinion. A Taeleifi house which we identified as being "near the southeasternmost boundary" of the Taeleifi survey, although marked in that location on one of the exhibits, appears in fact to have been the same house which (prior to its substantial destruction by the 1990 hurricane) belonged to the children of Pepa Taeleifi and was adjacent to Pepa's house in the central, not the southeastern, portion of the Taeleifi survey. Although this change in our findings of fact tends to help Le'oso, we are not convinced that it should change our conclusion that there was sufficient Taeleifi activity in the area to prevent the Le'oso occupation from being exclusive for the requisite twenty-year period.
Accordingly, the motion is denied.

When I answer questions of a personal nature, Coldplay.com readers often get in touch with their own thoughts. So, we now have a weekly feature, Team Oracle, whereby each Friday (with the question asker's permission) we open up a question to all of you to answer too. Then, the following Friday, I'll post a selection of the best answers, alongside my own reply.
ANYONE can join in so, if you'd like to, please email your response to the following question, in no more than 250 words, to firstname.lastname@example.com before midnight Thursday 4th October.
I'm currently 16 and there is a girl I've liked on and off since I was about 14. We had both liked each other for a while but she drifted away. She's now had a boyfriend for almost 10 months. Recently she came to me and told me that I should play guitar and she should sing at a school event. I was very open to it but then she said that she and her boyfriend are both going to sing it. The lyrics are about being deeply in love with each other.
If I accompany them for an event that would potentially bring them closer together am I betraying my own feelings? This is really tough for me to explain and I hope I'm getting my point across. I just want advice on if it's worth doing this for my friend and crush and possibly bring her and her boyfriend to a whole new level, or should I back out and hope one day I'll have my chance with her. I'm so conflicted with this I don't even know if I'm making sense. Please give me some advice just to get my own thoughts straight so I can decide.
Thank you.
Keith USA
Look forward to seeing your replies.

RTA General Manager Justin Augustine stressed that the expansion plan was preliminary. "The squiggly lines on the page will change probably a million times before we actually adopt anything," he told local media. "It's not permanent, it's just a concept."
But New Orleans, led in many ways by RTA, has been consistent in its desire to expand its streetcar operations, and has had some success, including the opening of the Loyola Avenue line last January.
Proposed expansion includes a new line along Elysian Fields Avenue from the riverfront to Claiborne Avenue, where it would turn left and link with Canal Street. That line could continue past to Poydras Street past the Superdome and end at the new Loyola Avenue line.
Another new segment would extend the venerable St. Charles Avenue line from where it ends at Carrollton and South Claiborne avenues and bring it to Canal Street.
RTA estimates such expansion would cost more than $800 million in today's dollars. It currently has no funds identified for most proposals, though RTA is moving ahead with the 1.2-mile N. Rampart St. St. Claude Ave. extension, which roughly parallels the Mississippi River.

HTC One S vs Samsung Galaxy S II
0. phoneArena posted on 18 Apr 2012, 05:24
On first read the Samsung Galaxy S II is pretty similar to the new HTC One S - both have 4.3" AMOLED displays, dual-core processors, 8MP cameras and the same battery capacity. When you dig deeper, though, the choice is not that hard as there are key differences in software, hardware and design...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

How about a video between both devices HTC One S vs Samsung Galaxy S II
26. jonahleq (Posts: 6; Member since: 17 Apr 2012)
htc one s is better
2. redmd (Posts: 1588; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
How about a comparison between HTC one x vs Samsung galaxy note.
3. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
vote for S II. I just don't like HTC. Something is not right...not polished enough. S II is a more balanced phone.

Both of them sucks!!! Iphone4s all the way :D
4. darktranquillity (Posts: 284; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
There's no way on earth that i'll buy a smartphone that doesn't have sd slot, no matter how good is it.
5. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1239; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
This isn't even a comparison. The One S wins easily. Not that the SII could ever be called bad, it's just aging. Newer almost always wins and this is no exception.
33. 99n100 (Posts: 16; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
Don't agree that One S won the race over SG2, don't forget that was one year old technology and HTC have not learn to improve their design with what most people want in their wish list.
34. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
I thought the two devices pretty much tied?
6. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Sd card is a must 4 me.... I have 1 sd card which has all my media and I use it o,every new one o get... Only time sd card didn't hold me back was when I got the iPhone and how I hated that... Now every time I get an android phone it needs to have a sd card slot.. Design wise no argument, but I much rather prefer tw over sense because it is much less bloated and less ram hungry than sense...
28. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The new Sense 4 is actually a lot better than Sense 3.x when it comes to being bloated, so performance should be equal or greater than Touchwiz on the S2. Especially now since the Tegra 3 and S4 are running it on the One X and One S, it's absolutely no problem
7. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
finally wishes do come true a comparison of SG2 and ONE S! :)
hmmm... impressive i like one s for its built and interface but its sad that it only has 16gb and a dropbox that is good for only 2 years :( i have to think though im still enjoying my WP for now i just want to try the new ICS built phones :) how i hope ther next match wil;l be galaxy note vs one s
and xperia s vs one s please...
8. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I still prefer the galaxy s2 because of the non-pentile super amoled, exynos, and sd card.
13. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
You still prefer it even though it has a slower processor, worse display
24. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
better camera, my 1.8ghz dual core exynos is plenty fast, and i don't need an insanely high resolution display on a phone, sure its nice to have but its not needed, im waiting on the sgs3 before i get a new phone, hoping it will have expandable memory and if not multiple storage options
9. kunzj646 (Posts: 2; Member since: 16 Apr 2012)
I still love my galaxy s2...! One s may b a grt phone..bt just imangine..it is being compared with Gs2 which is almost a year older.!
29. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Well, it's only natural to compare it to the GS2. The GS2 was basically crowned the king of the android phones, so it should be a necessity that every high end phone being released be compared to it. But it seems now that the One X is king ;) well, the GS3 might de-throne the One X lol
39. ricky0702 (Posts: 11; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
I would prefer the smausng S3 because its features like the
S-Voice and S-Beam, with the bigger screen and a better feel towards it software as well as having a MORE user friendly interface. The S3 also has expandable memory and better audio visual abilities. I would think the Samsung S3 as a HTC one x but with more features and a better design therefore there is no reason why I wouldn't go for the Samsung S3.read another briefed comparison of the One X and Galaxy S III
10. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
duh if you have a phusical/capacitive menu button already then of course you are still going to use it...it would be silly to disable the menu button on the s2..
11. Tsepz_GP (Posts: 1054; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
The GS2 seems to hold its own very well for a phone that's a year old.
In summary i'd say GS2 for us smartphone enthusiast who want SD slot, and mem expansion and One S for the average user, either way you're getting an excellent smartphone.
12. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Sorry HTC...you lost again:)
16. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
The one s won...
17. pegasso (Posts: 285; Member since: 27 Nov 2011)
they're comparing a new phone versus a year old phone.
guess who win the battle, and who win the war?
18. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
it doesnt matter how old the phone is. it was still the best phone out there. A lot of people who like samsung are starting to become like apple fanboys
20. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
They won because they provided a product which cost the same, and was better in most regards. You compare things by price, not age.
14. 1701nino (unregistered)
I just don't get it!!! Please help me understand, how can anyone buy a samsung phone over htc one???Samsung has an uuuugggglllyyyy UI the worst in the techworld. And the ICS upgrade for the SGII,is that a joke??? It looks and feels the same as gingerbread.
Personaly I would never buy a samsung phone except maybe galaxy nexus.
I know you got custom ROMs and this and that but an regular user should not know about that stuff. And one more last thing,samsung you better amaze us with GS III, not just the hardware the UI must look awesome;)
32. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
i agree with you, but dev support + removable battery + SD card makes the GSII a winner for me, and on par with One S to many. if those three aren't a biggy for you then the One S is a better option.
15. khanmhsn (Posts: 25; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
GS2 is too amazing........because after a year it is still standing upto current phones.
25. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Don't compare the phones by how long they've been in the market, just simply compare the specs and see which is better at the moment.
GS2 as a high end phone at the time of it's release should be able to stand up to current mid level phones and that's nothing to be surprised about. I think that the One S itself is pretty amazing that it has the capability to do better than One X.
19. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
Stop complaining about how it is unfair to compare the 2. He even said they cost around the same, and if they both cost the same, then the One S wins because it has more value for money and is better in most aspects.
Again, this is assuming thy both cost the same

Is Natural Nail Polish Better?
When it comes to a beauty routine, less is more. But it doesn't have to cost more! Get the most out of your nail polish without those harmful chemicals and noxious odors. Be sure to check out more great natural beauty products from our GHRI test.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Traditional nail polish has acquired a bad rap, largely due to its chemical ingredients and often noxious odor. Water-based formulas are milder, but how do they score on the factors that really matter to a manicure — drying time, chip resistance, and shine? The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested three water-based lacquers against the leading polish brand; while none wore as well after five days, testers liked Acquarella Water Color Nail Polish for its quick drying time, shine, and scent. Suncoat Water-Based Nail Polish received a perfect ease-of-application score and was more chip-resistant than the other two. Of the Suncoat, one volunteer reported, "I liked the way it lasted through my chores."

Choosing Horse Supplements: a Miracle in a Bottle
- Oct 1, 2010
- Topics:
Many horse owners use supplements to gain a competitive edge or to help their horse feel better. Some supplements have been shown to benefit equine health and well-being; however other products labeled as "supplements" by unscrupulous manufacturers have not gone through a governmental testing process proving their efficacy. Know what to watch for to help you, and your horse, get a lot more out of your supplement choices.
Seeking To Understand
In both her education and career, Kathleen Crandell, PhD, a staff member at Kentucky Equine Research (KER), an equine nutrition research and consulting company based near Lexington, Ky., has studied the effects of nutritive supplementation on equines, ranging from performance horses to broodmares.
"People are usually looking for a miracle in a bottle; they often expect the supplement to do more than it can," cautions Crandell. One common supplement many horse owners are familiar with is fat in the form of corn or soy oil, but she says we've come a long way in understanding what it can do and what's best for the horse.
"You can look at fat from corn or soy oil as a basic energy supplement or a source of extra calories, but we now understand a great deal more about the composition of fats and what are the right kinds for horses," Crandell says. It's not just the right kinds of fats, but how they're balanced in the diet that's important. "You have to consider the essential fatty acid composition and how that's going to affect the body; you want to have omega-3 and omega-6 oils, but in the correct balance, since they each have different cellular actions."
More Is Not Necessarily Better
Equine nutrition is a fairly young yet complex field. Combine that with research leading to frequent changes in information, understanding, and long-held horse management habits, and getting current data about supplements into the hands of those that administer them can be a challenge. One example is the mindset that a supplement "couldn't hurt, might help."
"Sometimes we'll see a horse being fed multiple supplements, maybe because a neighbor or a family member recommended it," notes Crandell. "There are some supplements where more is not a problem, but some can be given to the point where toxicity develops."
For example, she points to dietary iodine as a potential "red flag" supplement; it's a nutrient the thyroid needs for proper production of hormones that can't be produced by the body, so it must be consumed in the diet. Adequate amounts are usually supplied in forages, commercial grain concentrates, and iodized salts provided in a salt block. However, Crandell has noticed a recent trend to supplement iodine instead of the more expensive thyroid replacement drug for horses with sluggish thyroids, and she notes that caution should be used with this practice. "Iodine can be consumed to the point where it becomes toxic for the horse," says Crandell. "If you're not reading labels or don't fully understand what's okay, or how supplements work together and the overall effect in the diet, there's a potential for harm."
However, she believes knowledge about supplementation is improving. "I think people are getting a lot smarter about supplements and how they work and taking the time to read labels and directions and understand the interactions between different products," she says.
Truth in Labeling
Bill Bookout is constantly on the lookout for harmful supplements. As president of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), Bookout is responsible for monitoring the monthly data entered into the NASC Adverse Event Reporting System, which helps the organization maintain vigilant watch over more than 5,000 different products.
"People don't realize that a specific classification for dietary supplements doesn't exist for animals the way it does for people," says Bookout. "There's also a difference in the way the government recognizes a general vitamin supplement used for overall animal health, which is considered a food, and a product that's aimed at supporting a specific bodily function, which might be considered a drug," says Bookout.
Technically, a joint supplement falls under the drug category for horses, but there are possible avenues around collecting the data required for drug approval when bringing a product such as this to market.
"In the case of joint supplements, you can't patent a natural supplement formula, and there's no way equine supplement companies could spend $5 million on testing," he explains. "It would raise costs to the point they couldn't compete financially in the marketplace. The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, understands this, so they can allow products to be marketed under 'enforcement discretions,' provided companies act responsibly."
What this means is that while a joint health supplement is technically an unapproved drug, if the company acts responsibly by monitoring the product, not making claims about treatment for specific medical conditions, and has a quality control protocol in place, that company might be allowed to market and sell its joint supplement. The exception is with injectable drugs. "Injectable drugs should always be approved by the FDA," advises Bookout.
When you're evaluating a company and its products, how can you tell what's what? Bookout says there are a few key things any horse owner can look for (see sidebar).
"Claims that are too good to be true usually are," he cautions. Any company making a claim regarding a specific disease or body part should be suspect. He also says while the Internet is a good tool for consumer research, information should be taken with a grain of salt.
"Ronald Reagan said 'trust, but verify.' That's what consumers need to do to find the best option for their animals," he says. "Never hesitate to pick up the phone and ask questions of the company. And, it's always a good idea to have a veterinarian or equine nutritionist involved; opinions vary on supplementation, but if it's important to you, find one that will work with you and your horse."
Minimum Daily Requirements
Equine nutrition is a complex topic (see TheHorse.com's Nutrition/Supplements topic page for more detailed nutrition information), but there are some basics to keep in mind when it comes to what supplements horses might need and when. Instances where supplementation might be beneficial to your horse include when vitamins or minerals are missing or lacking from the diet; to exert an anti-inflammatory effect; or to provide antioxidant effects.
"Forage is essential for horses," says Crandell. "Grass is generally better than hay, because once you cut and dry the grass you start losing some of the nutrients, especially vitamins." Forage alone is unlikely to provide adequate nutrition for any horse other than a nonworking, "pasture ornament" equine.
"Forage might provide enough calories, or maybe enough protein for the average backyard horse, but when you get down to trace minerals, such as zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium, it could be marginal compared to what it was 100 years ago," she adds. "Selenium in particular is very low in certain areas of the country. However, vitamin A should be sufficient if the grass or hay is green, and vitamin E should also be fine with fresh grass." You can send a hay or pasture sample to a lab for analysis to reveal the nutrient levels that are low in your area of the country, or the vitamins/minerals your horse's forage lacks that he requires.
Once you add activity into the equation, Crandell says a horse's daily requirements go up. "A working horse or one under stress from competition or travel needs more of everything; more energy, more protein, and more vitamins and minerals," she notes.
Too Much or Too Little
Most commercial feeds are designed to be fed in five- to 10-pound rations per day, and Crandell reports going beneath that threshold could mean a horse isn't getting enough feed for his basic health requirements, in terms of vitamins and minerals. In those scenarios, she says, the horse might need one or more supplements added to his diet. "All the nutrients are included in the appropriate ratios at that level," she says. "If you have a horse that's only eating a few handfuls of feed, such as an obese horse or one that's insulin-resistant, he is probably not getting enough to balance what's missing from his forage."
However, simply increasing feed or grain rations isn't the answer, either. "A high grain diet results in a lot of grain going into the hindgut, where it is fermented, producing lactic acid and dropping the pH," points out Crandell. That starts a chain reaction, affecting everything from digestion to physical appearance.
"A low pH in the hindgut can result in what we call hindgut acidosis; basically, it's an acidic environment that interferes with the microbes needed for digestion. Without those microbes, horses don't feel well and will often have an unhealthy coat," she says.
Take-Home Message
Horses are as individual as humans when it comes to their dietary needs, and owners should select and administer supplements with care. Consider your horse's career, health status, and life stage when evaluating his diet and any potential supplementation; also know where your horse's feed comes from and what's potentially missing from the soil in terms of nutrients. And finally, assess supplement products carefully, based on factual and reliable information. Your horse's health and well-being depend upon it.
