Doing the Brefbot. He needs to move through a threatened square to get a flank with Morsum, so he'll try Acrobatics to avoid the AoO.
1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14 whoops, failed by 1! gotta eat an AoO.
1d20 ⇒ 7
Bref comes scuttling in, circling around to attack from the side. The redhaired guard yells and swings, but misses. Bref bounces off the bed
1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 1 = 22
1d4 + 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + (6) - 1 = 9
and sinks his teeth into the guard's neck, ripping and tearing. The guard screams and flails, and then sinks to the ground. Bref pops up. "Next! Next!"
|Douglas Muir 406
The dark-haired guard yells defiance. "For Branderscar and justice!" He charges Morsum, expecting to catch the shadow-monster between himself and the bald guard. But his colleague simply stands there, sword lowered. "Sergeant! What are you doing?"
1d20 ⇒ 2
Geez, poor guy. Well, Sergeant Bald Guy is charmed. He'll kneel down and try a Heal check to stabilize the red-haired guard with the torn throat, while trying to stop the combat by talking. "Wait! Let's talk about this! Corporal, I don't think we need to do that!"
1d20 ⇒ 10
Note that this puts him in AoO range for both Bref and Morsum. Okay, that's it for the guards. New round, everyone can act.
|Jax Naismith
Dagger 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Jax moves to help Morsum with the guard that charged him, drawing his dagger as he does so and dropping the crossbow to the ground for later. Hello there, Sir, I'm sure you don't get this often, but your mustache looks grand today. With a smile, Jax will stab the guard.
Oh Goodie!
Confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 for an extra 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin charges in besides Jax and swings at the guard.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 1 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10
Round 2
Morsum looks at Bref: My mouth bigger than yours.
He then turns to the new guard grinning while the blood from the last guard drips from its mouth mysteriously disappearing into the shadows that are its body.
Then as before the shadow simply envelopes the other guard:
AoO-bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Add +2 to all attacks if flanking.
Regular attacks:
Attack-bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Attack-claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Attack-claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
While not slaying the guard, the effect of the teeth and claws are apparent as blood begins to poor down the guards body from the gashes left behind by the shadow.
|Douglas Muir 406
Jax, Morsum and Sir Edmin surround the guard. There are a few seconds of intense activity, and a great deal of blood. The dark-haired guard's lifeless body drops to the floor.
I think seeing his colleagues torn to pieces may place some strain on Sergeant Bald Guy's status as Charmed. The spell forces him to see Zimu as friendly, as long as he isn't directly attacked. However...
"You... you killed..." The last guard leaps up from beside his dying comrade. "She is innocent and good, but you are... monsters! I will save her from you!" He suddenly unleashes a mighty slash at Bref. "You first, you vile little ragpicker! You'll haul a garbage cart in Hell tonight!"
1d20 ⇒ 20
whoops! Well, let's see if he confirms.
1d20 ⇒ 10
|Douglas Muir 406
|Douglas Muir 406
Round 4
Initi 12
Spells Running - Copy Cat.
Rose stoops and picks up the shield dropped by the 1st guard. Then move on in, of some one is with in range and she can, she will hit them with the club if she can, she will not brake Charm so will hold attack but if needed.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
With out a map its hard to know where she is GM
Round 4
Seeing the guard swing at his toothy companion, Morsum turns and slashes and bites the guard.
He will make a 5-foot step to gain flanking if possible.
Attack-bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 <-- add +2 to all attacks if flanking.
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Attack-claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Attack-claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Sorry Cy, Morsum probably knew he was under some spell, but seeing him attack the goblin, reflexes took over before the guard got a chance to draw any more blood.
|Douglas Muir 406
Claw and bite hit. Okay, Charm is broken. The guard is still standing; he'll go down fighting. Branderscar may have a little drinking problem but these men are not cowards.
Above the incessant mosquito-whine of the magic ward, Zimu feels a tiny internal 'snap' as the mental connection to the guard is severed.
"Damn you, Judge! Can't you control that thing?!"
|Judge Tohram Quasangi
Knowing that his limited spells and melee capabilities are unlikely to be useful at present, Tohram continues to strip off the chain shirt and to don it himself. He also checks them for any coin purses and weapons or other things of value.
He also keeps an eye on the doors in the main hall to make sure that nobody else happens upon the bloody scene that is being left behind the group.
Hearing Cy call from the other room, the Judge takes the chain shirt that he acquired and heads in to see what all the grumbling is about. When he gets to the room and sees the bodies strewn about the room.
Did I miss something? Looks like Bref could use a little healing.
Oh, if I get hurt and cannot talk - DO NOT feed me any healing magic. Lets just say I tend to react adversely to what heals others. However, the negative energy that Asmodeus blesses us with cures my wounds.
|Douglas Muir 406
WOW a party.
Bref smears his blood all over his chest and face giggling as he moves into a flanking position.
Step one chew guard. Step two. Step three PROFIT!
1d20 + 6 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 1 + 2 = 22 for 1d4 + 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + (2) - 1 = 5
Rosa gives Berf a drop of her blood again, last infernal-healing to him.
10 rounds (1min) 1 HP per round back total after 1 min 10 HP back.
|Douglas Muir 406
The bald sergeant staggers, but is still standing.
Rosa has no blade, but no graduate of the Finishing School will let that make a difference. She raises her arm to her mouth and bites down hard on the soft flesh. Then she takes careful aim and spits. A small gobbet of blood hits the back of the goblin's head. Bref, dancing around the surviving guard looking for another soft spot to sink his fangs, never even notices.
"Gjak pe Gjak, little killer." The blood sizzles and then seems to melt into Bref's flesh.
|Douglas Muir 406
|Cуровую зиму
Concentration 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
I don't think that makes it. Daze will not be cast.
The waste of plans and alternate avenues of escape, not to mention a prized spell, causes Cуровую to momentarily show signs of irritation, and she fails to fully concentrate.
"Pity" Cуровую looks with bitter thoughts at the shadow that hunts then to the surviving guard, who is now not long for this cold world.
The Judge will need to reign in his childe better, then reminds herself of the purpose of why she came to the prison in the first place.
And somewhere in the far desolate northern wastes, the cold wind drops a degree lower.
|Cуровую зиму
|Jax Naismith
Oh for the love of..You're half-way dead, just shut up!
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Jax lunges at the guard, aiming for the ribs. This is such a mess.
|Judge Tohram Quasangi
As Tohram arrives in the now bloodied room, he looks at his companions handywork with a smile.
Very nice. We seem to work well together.
He then begins to look around the room for anything useful - weapons, armor, chests, footlockers. If there are any, he will begin to gather things for the rest of the group once they have finished with the sergeant. He also puts on the chain shirt he got from the guard in the main hall, wiping off any excess blood with some of the bed linen.
|Cуровую зиму
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin looks around at the carnage left in the wake of this group and shakes his head. "Ok, we need to post a guard here, our own, until we get ready to move. Now lets just slow it down a bit, we need to ease back into recon mode, not what ever this was led us to this point." The knight glances at Bref a frowns, "And for the love of all that is holy, someone find him a real weapon!"
The knight stands over the dead female guard and for a moment before crouching down next to her and gently closing her eyes.
|Douglas Muir 406
|Cуровую зиму
|Douglas Muir 406
Bref feels a sudden rush of intense fever. It's not a pleasant sensation... but he is delighted to find that his wounds are closing.
A quick glance around this room shows that it was a barracks or dormitory for the three guards. 1d20 ⇒ 12 It's divided into three by light wooden partitions. Each "room" contains a bed, a chest, and a chair. Three sets of guard uniforms (including trousers, boots, chain shirts, and a belt with a scabbard and a club) are hanging on the partitions.
Bref paints himself with blood, and when ready leads the party back to the kitchen to get supplies. Keeping an eye out for a kitchen knife that just might be his size. Along the way he collects the chefs hat and rolling pin.
I am the Goblin Invincible!!!
|Cуровую зиму
Concentration to use Mage Hand to open the chests
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
Cуровую will take stock of what has been added to the group's material assets, and will ask someone to lock the door close to the stairs.
Our inventory grows, but our time melts away, how much longer until the next official guard change?
|Douglas Muir 406
1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 1 = 28
1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 1 = 29
1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 1 = 24
Goblin find
Goblin save
Guards don't mind
Guards in grave!
|Douglas Muir 406
clickety clack snap pop tinkle
Bref flicks out the lockpicks and opens the three chests without difficulty. "Pah, simple. I was opening locks like this before I'd eaten my first kitten."
1d20 ⇒ 10
1d20 ⇒ 8
1d20 ⇒ 12
The chests contain clothes and some minor personal items. One chest has a collection of letters from home; they are poignant, but of no particular use. Another has a package of cookies wrapped in wax paper; Bref immediately eats these. The third includes two decks of cards and a pouch of mixed coins worth 12 gp.
1d20 ⇒ 7
While you are searching the room, Grumblejack lumbers over to the kitchen. His huge nostrils flare as he sniffs the air. "Food! Judging from the aroma, the last efforts of the late bakers were a delicious set of meat pies, probably intended for the guards' lunch.
You have seven (!) dead bodies -- two bakers, two armored guards, and three unarmored guards. Do you want to do anything in particular with them, or just let them lie and move on?
|Edmin Al'Roth
"We need to move the dead out of the hall, before we continue, someone give me a hand." Edmin starts dragging the guards out of the hall way and into the kitchen looking for a way to hide the bodies.
|Cуровую зиму
Cуровую leaves the fallen to those who have the physical acumen for the task but offers the suggestion,
"Leave them in the guards' rest quarters, then locked ... Or in the ovens ..."
That particular thought brings back long forgotten memories ... Of two children lost in the dark woods ...
Morsum latches his bloody claws into the arms of two of the guards and drags them with Edmin. He then moves over and again protectively stands behind the Judge like a shadow.
|Judge Tohram Quasangi
The Judge watches the others and shakes his head:
Get all we can, not much use in hiding the guards, not like we are trying to fool anyone. We have successfully gotten this far. I do not know what will be next, but let's take it slow and carefully. Hopefully most the other guards will be asleep and if they are, no need to kill them. The warden and Blackery on the other hand are likely to have more useful equipment.
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin glances at the judge as he keeps moving the dead. "It may give us a few moments when someone happens into the hall before they sound the alarm."
After dropping the final body from the hall into onto the floor of the kitchen, the knight moves to wards the others. Well, we still do not have a good understanding of the layout here. Maybe we should go room to room and see what we find? Maybe with more information we can formulate the rest of a plan to escape this place."
|Douglas Muir 406
The mess hall contains three large tables, with benches; there is seating for perhaps thirty men. Several plaques hang on the walls, commemorating notable accomplishments, the winners of competitions among the guards, and the gratitude of the last two Kings of Talingarde.
Upon the east wall hangs a large embroidered silken banner:
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin laughs out loud and calls over to Bref. "Toothpick! Why don't you try your art work on that Banner. If you take request, please add a red horse on some of the black please.
Bref excitedly goes to work. Though the black horse is flaming and is kicking in the skulls of something that might be blackly. He giggles the while.
|Cуровую зиму
How long until the next guard shift? How far to the nearest way out of this tower?
Searching the kitchen as well for possible useful items
Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Others may want to help
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin will try to find a knife that can be stored in his boot and a cleaver from the kitchen.
Perception:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11
"Once you all are ready, lets move across the hall and continue our search through that door."
|Jax Naismith
Jax would halt Bref before he makes too much of a mess. Wait, Toothpick, don't use blood on something like this. We're taking it with us. When I get some paints, we can go to town. I would love to leave this somewhere where it'll make a better message than here. Not sure where yet../b]
After that, he'll move to help search the rooms. 1d20 ⇒ 9 Jax will also take the pouch of gold and both decks of cards, looking to the rest of them. [b]Let's hold onto this for now, we can figure out if its worth splitting the coin up later or just using it on the road to pay for some supplies.
He'll also inspect the plaques (appraise)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 to see if they're worth any money.
|Douglas Muir 406
The plaques are worthless except for one that's a certificate of appreciation from the last King. That could have some minor value as an antiquity or collectors item. Unfortunately it's mounted on a large, clumsy frame; take it off, and it's rather crumbly and fragile.
1d20 ⇒ 8
The kitchen is warm and full of good smells -- a pleasant place, if you ignore the fresh bloodstains and the hideously mutilated corpse of a baker cooling on the floor. Water is boiling in a kettle and there are meat pies in the oven; a tray to one side holds a dozen freshly baked rolls, which you recognize as the same hard rolls you've been eating since your arrival. A small closet to one side of the oven holds spices in jars. Besides, the usual collection of plates, bowls and other cooking paraphernalia, there are six large knives here that could be used as daggers. There's also a long meat cleaver that could be swung like a sword.
The meat cleaver would be equivalent to a shortsword, but since it's not designed as a melee weapon it will break on a 1. Overall there is roughly fifty days' worth of food stored here: forty days' worth of perishable and ten days' worth of iron rations.
Grumblejack smacks his lips. "Food!" He grabs a cut of meat off a table and begins tearing great chunks from it with his teeth.
Okay, thirty-nine days worth of perishable. Soon to be thirty-eight.
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin takes one of the large knives shoving it into the edge of his boot, then holds up the cleaver. "Does anyone want this? Jax?" If no one takes it the knight shoves it through his belt at the small of his back then grabs a sack and begins dumping the iron rations into it.
|Jax Naismith
Gladly, thanks Edwin. No reason to avoid loading up on every weapon we find. Let's eat a snack, if you can manage to eat anything in a room filled with...that. Jax points to the mutilated corpse.
I think I'll hold off. No reason not to stock up for later though.
Jax will head to the guard room and gather any bags or backpacks he can from the barracks, filling them up with food and a few spices. He's also going to gather some of the spices to try and use as a component for the color spray spell which requires coloured powder.
|Douglas Muir 406
Aha, clever. The spice cabinet does indeed yield a haul of differently colored powders. You may be the first caster ever to throw this spell using cinnamon, paprika and turmeric.
Bref grabs a piece of meat and takes an enormous bite out of it -- bigger than Grumblejack's bite. The ogre raises his shaggy eyebrows and then shoves the rest of the hunk of meat into his mouth. Bref shoves in the rest of his own hunk of meat, grabs a hard roll and two dried apples, and stuffs them in as well. The ogre grunts, grabs four hard rolls, crams them into his mouth, chews and swallows. Bref grabs the tray of rolls with both hands, tips it up, and lets the remaining eight rolls slide down into his mouth. His teeth move with astonishing speed. Crumbs fly everywhere. Bref's cheeks are grotesquely distended. "Mwrrrg brffle urg Whrff!" he says emphatically. "Huh," says the ogre, reaching for a complete cured ham, "We'll see about that..."
|Edmin Al'Roth
Edmin shrugs his shoulders as he shoves a hot pie in his mouth then looks over at the dead bodies, then over at the competing monsters filling their faces. "You get used to it."
|Judge Tohram Quasangi
The Judge simply looks at the bloody corpse and shrugs. He then takes a piece of bread and some of the meat pie and takes a bite of each.
Morsum simply stays by the door watching the doors on the far side.
Once he has his meal: We need to get moving. It is about four hours between shift changes. We started about one hour in. I say we have two hours before the next shift. Probably three to four before the sun comes up. We want to be hiding in the moors before daylight. Unless you all want to play hide and seek with the remaining guards.
According to the guard upstairs before he passed out, there are officers' barracks, Blackerly's office, a large meeting room, the armory, and the storeroom still in this main area. Also, once we get out of this building we have a barracks, the tower where the Warden has his office, and the escape through the wall, the gatehouse and finally a checkpoint at the end of the causeway. So, to put it simply, we have a number of obstacles before us.

What happens when worlds collide in the Street Legal Drag Racing segment? The answer is four days of utopia as over 500 cars attended the annual drag race at Route 66 Raceway; simply dubbed the Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing. The concept is to bring both "leagues" together, the National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) and the Mustang/Ford group dubbed NMRA—like the Super Bowl brings the AFC and NFC leagues together for one champion. Both sanctioning bodies are operated by ProMedia, the group that is in charge of ground operations at the annual Chevy High Performance Nationals event, and they've been throwing this league championship event for eight years. We are sad to report that the Mustangs won, again, giving them an overall record of six Super Bowl victories to NMCA's two.
The concept is a simple one as both leagues are run separately all weekend—qualifying and elimination rounds. On Sunday, once the final rounds have finished the ProMedia officials then bring back all of the class winners and pair each up against a similar level in the other sanctioning body. There are some classes that don't directly crossover and to solve that problem, the heads-up cars run off an index but the caveat is that there is no breakout; a racer can run wide-open until the finish line. The index is derived from that racer's quickest ET of the weekend. This year the competition no less dramatic where the teams ended up with an equal amount of victories heading into the final pairing of the NMCA Pro Street category and the lightning NMRA Street Outlaw eliminator. NMCA lost to NMRA in that final round and since the Pro Street car was a Ford, we are going to blame him for the team loss.
All kidding aside, the rivalry is fun, but hanging in the balance is bonus prize money along with a prestigious Nitto Tire Diamond Tree ring. These are the same rings that are given to NMRA and NMCA national champions, as well as the winning "team" in the NMRA vs. NMCA grudge race. Here are some highlights from the wildest mid-summer shootout of the year.

Sivakasi Style Mutton Varuval | Mutton Fry Dry | Varutha Kari
The two occasions when I see the husband getting excited are: 1. While watching a LIVE cricket match of India. 2. When I make non-vegetarian his native style non-vegetarian dish. So when I made this Mutton Sukka Varuval on a day when India played a LIVE cricket match, he was double excited! This Mutton Varuttha Kari recipe is from his native place Sivakasi. That means, the dish has a very simple profile like this Simple and Easy Sivakasi Mutton Kulambu (Gravy) recipe which I posted few weeks back. So why is this Mutton Chukka Kari Varuval very simple to make? It's because it requires no complicated process to prepare; it's because it requires no grinding of any masala with mixer grinders; it's because it requires no queuing of spices on the kitchen table; it's because it requires no tomatoes or green chilies or coconut. It just… Continue reading »

Changes in C-Grading for GE
Policy S99-6 changes the status of C- grades for granting credit in GE Basic Skills courses, and also in 100W.GE Basic Skills Courses are:
- mathematical concepts (B4);
- critical thinking (A3);
- oral communication (A1); and
- written communication Ia and Ib -- Engl 1A and 1B .
The following applies to all Basic Skills Courses and 100W, beginning Spring, 2000 , regardless of date of continuous enrollment.
¥ To earn GE credit in 100W and in any GE Basic Skills course, even those traditionally graded A-F, the student must earn a C or better. A Student earning a C- or below, as low as a D-, will receive unit credit for the course, but will not receive GE credit. This policy brings SJSU into compliance with a CSU standard already mandated for transfer students.
¥ Even if grade rosters still show grades below C as an option, any grade entry of C- or below entered by the instructor will automatically be converted to a No Credit in English 1A, 1B and all 100W's.
¥ Non-GE issue. A student who elects to take a graded course, any graded course, for Cr/NC must earn a C or better to receive Credit. While this is not specifically stated in the new policy, it is a reasonable corollary of the policy change for courses graded ABC/NC, and will be SJSU procedure unless and until policy states otherwise.
¥ Math Exception :Students whose major satisfies the math GE math concepts requirement (largely Science and Engineering) must earn a C or better in the entry-level math course already approved in Area B4, or in any moreadvanced math course that substitutes for the Area B4 course. If a major requires more than one math course, the student need earn a C in only one of those courses to satisfy the GE requirement. Thus, an Engineering or Science Student who gets C-'s in the first two semesters of calculus would, under current catalog guidelines, be allowed to progress to the third semester of calculus; should the student get a C in that third semester, the GE math requirement would be satisfied.

Financial Information
About Cordillera Valley Club
On the sunny side of the valley, Cordillera Valley Club is a gated community offering privacy, convenience and plenty of amenities. Just 7 minutes to Arrowhead, and about 10 minutes to Bachelor Gulch and Beaver Creek, Cordillera Valley Club is a community that features more convenient access to the valley than its sister communities at higher elevations, while also offering residents the same privacy and exclusivity. Views of rugged New York Mountain and the Sawatch Mountain Range to the south over Lake Creek create a unique viewpoint from just about anywhere in Cordillera Valley Club. The landscape offers a high-mountain feel with sagebrush, cedar bushes, some pine trees, aspens and cottonwoods. Golfers are in heaven at the Valley Course, one of three golf courses throughout Cordillera for which residents have access. There's a restaurant open for lunch and dinner in the summertime, and available for private events during winter months. Other amenities include a beautiful swimming pool, tennis court and workout facility in the Club House. The Valley Club features 145 residences, all single-family homes, over 366 acres. The architectural style is rustic, with porches, timber, stone and some tin roofs. Many homes are part of subdivisions that include 10 to 15 homes, ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 square feet depending on the subdivision. The rest of the homes are estate homes ranging from 4,500 to 8,500 square feet on half-acre or larger home sites. It's a relatively small area with an easy-going resort town feel. You'll find owners and guests snowshoeing or cross-country skiing across the golf course in the winter, and walking with neighbors, friends and dogs throughout the year along the paths. The Cordillera Valley Club is Vail Valley living at its finest.

Former Sen. Judd Gregg, R-NH, considered close to former President George W. Bush, tried Monday to stem the tide of growing GOP opposition to the nomination of Chuck Hagel, the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska, as the next secretary of Defense.
Having served with Hagel in the Senate, Gregg said he disagreed with Hagel's positions on Israel and Iran but respected Hagel's policy credentials. "Sure he has strong opinions," Gregg said on MSNBC, but "in the Defense Department, they need somebody who thinks outside the box."
"They need a creative guy down there who doesn't have 'defense-think'" and is willing to go against the grain in a time of shrinking budgets, said Gregg, who led George W. Bush's presidential campaigns in New Hampshire.
Gregg's support for Hagel was the second signal from the Bush family that Republicans should take a second look at Hagel. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, the National Security Adviser to former President George H.W. Bush, has also been rounding up former generals and admirals to back Hagel.
On Sunday, President Obama called Hagel a "patriot" who served with distinction as an Army sergeant in Vietnam but stopped short of saying he would go ahead with the nomination.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has said that he couldn't support Hagel and in another sign that Hagel's prospects might be fading, several Senate Republicans said they doubted the nomination would go forward against the strong possibility of a nasty confirmation fight at hearings in the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"I would be very surprised if Chuck Hagel is nominated," said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) on CNN's "State of the Union." Corker said he had heard from a number of Senate Democrats who also were uneasy with Hagel getting the post as top civilian at the Pentagon.
Hagel had been considered the frontrunner for Secretary of Defense until opponents seized on his past comments about the influence of the "Jewish lobby" on U.S. foreign policy.
Hagel critics also zeroed in on his opposition in the 1990s to the nomination by former President Bill Clinton of the openly gay James Hormel to be ambassador to Luxembourg.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama noted that Hagel had apologized for the remarks about Hormel. When asked if the comments about gays should be a disqualifier, Obama said "Not that I see."
"I've served with Chuck Hagel. I know him. He is a patriot," Obama said. "He is somebody who has done extraordinary work both in the United States Senate, somebody who served this country with valor in Vietnam, and is somebody who's currently serving on my Intelligence Advisory Board and doing an outstanding job."
But Obama declined to say whether he would nominate Hagel, adding that he had yet to make up his mind on who should succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who has made clear that he wants to retire early next year.
If Hagel's nomination failed to go forward, it would mark the second time in recent weeks that the frontrunner for a major Cabinet post was dropped from consideration.
United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice withdrew from consideration for the post as Secretary of State over her comments about the terror attack on the Benghazi consulate in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Others still considered top possibilities for Defense Secretary are Michelle Flournoy, the former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, and current Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.
On "Fox News' Sunday," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said senators from both sides of the aisle were concerned about Hagel's past policy positions about Israel and Iran.
"All of us like him as a person," Graham said, but "It'll be up to the President to make the selection. The hearings will matter. They'll matter a lot to me."
"If he sends Chuck Hagel up, it will be a confirmation hearing of consequence," Graham said. "There would be very little Republican support for his nomination, at the end of the day, there will be very few votes."

Even though the election is over, San Diegans are now faced with another choice: Which tree lighting ceremony will you attend this weekend?
On Saturday, Nov. 17 two San Diego's malls will be hosting their unofficial kick-off of the holiday shopping season at the same time. The duel is between Fashion Valley and the newly-renovated Westfield University Town Center.
Both ceremonies begin at 5:30 p.m. and feature holiday cheer and Santa viewings.
Fashion Valley will have artificial snow on hand for kiddies to play with. Plus there are swag bags for the first 100 visitors, carols from the Salvation Army brass band and a life-sized gingerbread house.
But UTC might have the edge with special guest artist Jessica Sanchez, the Chula Vista native who was a runner-up on American Idol last season. There are also performances by San Diego's Children's Choir and the San Diego Civic Youth Ballet.
The shopping nucleus of La Jolla recently went through a major overhaul. Stores such as J. Crew, Tiffany & Co. and Kiehl's will open by the end of the year – likely to give Fashion Valley some competition for luxury brands. The mall will also re-open a larger than life Forever 21, doubling the size of the old location.
UTC will officially kick off its shiny new exterior on Thursday, Nov. 15 with a performance by Natasha Bedingfield.
So which mall will you go to? Does a performance by Sanchez swing you one way over the other, or will artificial snow have you parking at Fashion Valley? Either way, one thing is certain: The holidays are here.
Two Tree Lighting Ceremonies in One Day
Get ready for an extra-long holiday season, beginning with the battle of the tree lighting events
Even though the election is over, San Diegans are now faced with another choice: Which tree lighting ceremony will you attend this weekend?

Posted in Uncategorized
Hydroxyethylcellulose is classified as a non-ionic polymer which is soluble in water. This is primarily used as a thickening agent in many cosmetic and personal skin care and hair care products. It is also effective in improving the dissolution of many medications or drugs in the gastrointestinal tract.
Hydroxyethylcellulose appears as a white to off-white powder in room temperature and is effective in dissolving large particles without creating large lumps on the solution. It is called a nonionic thickener in most industries.
History and Origin
Hydroxyethylcellulose is derived from cellulose and is used in many industries such as skin care products, hair care products, cleaning solutions and many other common household products that are used every day by the general public. Its importance in the field of medicine makes it an indispensable ingredient in making hydrophobic drugs and medications that are usually packaged in capsule forms. Hydroxyethylcellulose makes this medication easily absorbed by the walls of the gastro intestinal system.
Ancient Uses
The use of Hydroxyethylcellulose was unheard of during the ancient times. However, thickening agents were also used in cooking and in making sauces back then. Natural ingredients such as wheat or flour was often used which was perfect in reducing some skin care conditions as well.
Modern Uses
During today's modern times, Hydroxyethylcellulose was created to improve the quality of many care and cleaning products so as to dissolve perfectly in water. This makes this an indispensable additive in most personal care items such as shampoos, body washes, moisturizing gels, shower and bath products.
In the cosmetic industry, Hydroxyethylcellulose is perfect in thickening cosmetic emulsions such as concealers, foundations and mascaras. It makes these products easy to apply onto the skin and to remain on the skin as well.
This chemical is also found in many household cleaners, household products and other personal care items.
Side Effects
There are no notable side effects in the use of skin care or hair care products that contain Hydroxyethylcellulose. It is important to note though that there may still be people who may develop side effects after using products with this chemical. If you develop a skin irritation, have severe itching, rashes or redness, it is best to discontinue use of the offending product and to seek a medical consult immediately.
When using cosmetics with Hydroxyethylcellulose, it is best to do a patch skin test first to check for any allergies from any cosmetic brand. Any sign of skin irritation, redness or itching should never be discounted. Consult a dermatologist for an ideal alternative in case any of these happen to arise.
Products with Hydroxyethylcellulose must never be used for infants and young children's extra sensitive skin. A dermatologist can advise the ideal skin care regimen for people and babies that have this kind of skin type. Although Hydroxyethylcellulose is safe to use as a cosmetic additive, it is best to remove all traces of makeup before retiring, with a makeup remover or wash your face thoroughly with a mild facial wash. Do not wear makeup unless necessary.
If you work closely with chemicals, wear protective clothing such as goggles, mask and gloves to shield yourself from accidental splashes and spills. Hydroxyethylcellulose can cause minor skin irritation especially after receiving a direct exposure.

Katrina Darling — distant cousin of Kate Middleton (aka Mrs. Prince William) — will grace the cover of Sir Hugh Hefner's upcoming Playboy September issue. Hef is apparently not looking to save the queen (from scandal).
The "international burlesque dancer and model" (as she crowns herself on her official Tumblr) will have an eight-page featured spread in the magazine. The magazine confirmed to Page Six that the issue is scheduled to hit newsstands Aug. 17.
Katrina and Kate are second cousins, once removed, for those who even care. Apparently her grandmother Jane Darling and Middleton's great-grandfather Thomas Harrison were siblings.
While you wait for Darling's nude pictorial in Playboy, you can sneak a peek at her crown jewels on Facebook, Twitter and follow her on Instagram. You're next Pippa.

I also love the rich dark colors, the many shades of black (and I must say I didn't know there were quite so many shades of black until I tried – and failed miserably - to find a black jacket to match a pair of black trousers!) and the splashes of color all in winter soft thickness.
But, of course, this brings along yet another little dilemma…skin shedding and the tell-tale white flaky flecks that show up against the darker fabrics.
I am rigorous in my moisturizing routine. Every morning and evening after my shower, I apply either a prescribed lotion or a deep moisturizer depending on the state of my skin, but it seems that no matter how much I moisturize or how clear my skin is, the slightest hint of psoriasis leads to flecks on clothes.
Now this probably happens all year-round, but it is most noticeable on darker clothing. It also makes trying clothes on in a shop a bit of an ordeal.
I have to be honest and say that if I went to purchase a jumper and found little white flecks inside the sleeves, I wouldn't be happy and would probably not buy that garment. But what are we supposed to do? We have to try clothes on to make sure they fit…and our skin flakes despite our best efforts.
I have to say that I have taken to trying things on in the privacy of my own home. If I can, if the style allows, I try to wear something light underneath until I am sure I plan to keep the garment. But on one occasion, I tried on an item at home and didn't like it. As I went to fold it back into the bag, to my horror I saw that there were a number of flecks stuck to the fabric. I'm afraid I did the only thing I could think of; I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and used the fine attachment to vacuum the evidence away so that I could return the item.
I really hope that does not make me a bad person.

In 1920, University of Southern California sociologist Dr. Emory S. Bogardus founded Alpha Kappa Delta for the purposes of stimulating scholarship and promoting the scientific study of society. Bogardus' impetus in establishing this organization was to provide a forum for student and faculty interchange. His endeavor paved the way for what has become an international organization dedicated to promoting, facilitating, and recognizing academic scholarship. As we enter the 21st century, Alpha Kappa Delta is an integral part of many Sociology programs and is proud to acknowledge that in the past eight decades, over 80,000 scholars have been initiated into the Society. More than 490 chapters have been chartered in the United States, Canada, China, Finland, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Singapore.
The purpose of the honor society is to promote scholarship, but the focus has always been fellowship for students, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Conferring a charter signifies that the institution meets high standards of program quality and scholarship. Individual students must also meet high standards. To become a member of AKD, a student:
1) Must be an officially declared sociology major or demonstrate a serious interest in sociology within an official program of WKU.
2) Must be at least a junior (third year) by standards of WKU.
3) Must have accumulated the equivalent of an overall GPA of 3.0 or a 'B' average and rank in the top 35% of their class in general scholarship.
4) Must have maintained the equivalent of a 3.0 GPA in sociology courses taken at WKU prior to initiation.
5) Must have completed at least four regular courses in sociology (12 hours) prior to initiation (exclusive of extension or courses graded pass/fail). Graduate students need to complete at least one-half year of course work in sociology while maintaining at least a 'B' average.

Brad Keselowski talks as though racing continues to be business as usual. The 28-year-old is leading the standings in NASCAR'S Chase for the Sprint Cup, and while his margin over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson is a mere seven points, and perennial contender Denny Hamlin is only 20 points behind, Keselowski quickly dismisses talk that being chased in the chase means pressure.
Brad Keselowski talks as though racing continues to be business as usual.
The 28-year-old is leading the standings in NASCAR'S Chase for the Sprint Cup, and while his margin over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson is a mere seven points, and perennial contender Denny Hamlin is only 20 points behind, Keselowski quickly dismisses talk that being chased in the chase means pressure.
"I know in my shoes, I feel good about our situation," Keselowski said. "I love the way we performed over the last few weekends, really, over the Chase. You want to win every race, and obviously that hasn't happened, but that's not realistic either. But we've been fortunate to win two races and be in contention for others.
"Even when we don't win, we seem to be able to find a way to not have a disaster out of it."
That might be harder to do at Martinsville Speedway, where Johnson is on the pole, Hamlin is starting fifth, and the two have combined to win 10 times. Keselowski, meanwhile, never has finished better than ninth at the track and will roll off 32nd, back where on-track mayhem can ruin a driver's day quickly.
Johnson and Hamlin, though, both have started back in the field here and rallied for good finishes. Johnson started 22nd here in the spring and rallied to contend for the victory before fading to 12th.
This time around, he'd love to see Keselowski struggle early because the leader typically reaches the tail end of the field and starts lapping cars before 20 laps have been run. That makes it critical for a contender starting near the back to drive his way out of that situation as quickly as possible.
"You have got to go," Johnson said. "Everybody around you has that same mentality, too, so it can be pretty cutthroat back there. The priority is to get going. You have got to get up into the 20s and get a buffer of cars between you and the leader so that things can kind of spread out and get into a rhythm."
Hamlin started 19th here in March 2010 and rallied for his second of three straight victories.
"Ultimately, at the start of races, when you start getting into each other, things happen a little bit worse back there because of the chain reaction," Hamlin said. "Usually, if you have a good car and you don't get in trouble, it takes your second or third run, you'll find yourself in the top five."
Even if Keselowski rallies to get into contention on NASCAR's oldest, trickiest oval, Hamlin figures the air of calm about the season's final three races will be harder to maintain the longer it lasts.
"You can put that iron-clad armor around you and think that it's not going to affect you, but it will eventually," Hamlin said. "It doesn't matter whether you are going from the divisional game to the championship series, it just continues to build and gets harder to block out everything that you hear.
"You are thinking about all of your dreams coming true in just a matter of weeks. That definitely will affect you. It's just how you let it affect you, whether it be a positive or negative," he said.
Hamlin finished third in the chase in 2006 and was second two years ago. He and Keselowski share the series lead with five victories, and Hamlin thinks No. 6 would put him right in the thick of contention.
"I mean, if we win, then it is going to be huge momentum," he said. "It's going to give us obviously a large substantial chunk of the points that we are down, we'll get back. If for some reason we can lead the most laps and win the race, that's half of our deficit that we've got that we can knock out in one week.
"This place will build momentum or it will take. You just hope you are on the first side of that."
Because of his history of closing the deal in close championship races, Johnson would seem to be the favorite at this point. He won an unprecedented five championships in a row before relinquishing the title to Tony Stewart last season, and is hoping he can leave tonight as the points leader again.
"When it gets playoff time, things happen," he said after winning the pole Friday night. "I don't want to put my guard down. Certainly, very happy about today's performance and where we have ended up and we are ahead of our competitors, but it is playoff time and everybody brings their best stuff."

A Mayock & McShay Q&A
Mike Mayock and Todd McShay, the NFL draft television gurus of the moment along with Mel Kiper, ply their trade in the comparison business. And it's become big business given how many hours ESPN (McShay and Kiper's employer) and the NFL Network (where Mayock works) have dedicated to the event before the actual event itself on May 8-10. Both Mayock and McShay say television is the easiest part of the job; the in-person evaluation of prospects, phone calls to sources, endless hours of tape watching and research are where you make your bones. Last week The MMQB held a pro day of sorts with Mayock and McShay to get insight into their livelihood:
How do you define success in your job?
Mayock: I think first and foremost my job is to understand what all 32 teams are trying to do. I try to be the general manager for all 32. Then, if I feel like if I can match up players who fit particularly teams, to me I have had a successful draft. It is not about the mock draft. It is more how good do I feel about it. It is not externally motivated. It's how good do I feel the Sunday after the draft that all the work I did was able to help people understand why moves were made or not made.
McShay: I don't think it is necessarily defined on draft day. When we started this thing [college football scouting for ESPN Scouts Inc.] I tried to set it up as close as we could to what an actual college scouting department would do. I have two other guys who watch tape with me, and we go through the process as close as we can to what scouts, college directors and general managers go through. Other people are more reporters of the draft, but for me it is all about evaluating and having our own opinions—and doing it based on evaluating tape and getting the same character and durability issues that NFL teams are getting. I am more concerned about how guys play in the league three, four, five or six years down the road than I am where they get drafted. We have seen guys like Tim Tebow [1st round, Broncos, 2010] get drafted entirely too high. We see guys who fall who end up being really good players, like Andre Ellington [6th round, Cardinals] last year. I'd much rather be spot-on three or four years down the line than on draft night. A part of the job is also conveying what I am seeing to people watching online or on television. But the biggest thing is finding the guys who will have success at the next level, and I hope over time that's how I will be evaluated and not by mock drafts.
Would you extend the draft beyond three days? Why or why not?
Mayock: I'd rather go back to the way it used to be: two days. I think from a football perspective it rewarded teams that did their homework better and were better prepared. It put more pressure on teams. Now you have an extra night. After the third round, you go home and regroup just like you do after the first round. I like when teams are on the clock and they have 10 or five minutes to make decisions, especially when it's about making a trade. Now you have an extra night to talk about who the 33rd best player is or do we need to trade up? The pressure is off. You can reset your board. I like it when it is going crazy because the teams that have done the most preparation are the most mobile. I think it takes away some of that from those teams.
"If I can match up players who fit particular teams, to me I have had a successful draft," Mayock says. "It is not about the mock draft."
McShay: I would not. I thought it would be too long extending to three, so maybe if they extend to four I might change my mind. But I like the three-day format as is. You get the red carpet night out of the way and allow everyone to soak it in and enjoy it. Then from a team perspective you can strategize and make more phone calls. I think it makes for a more interesting second round. Then there are still some really good players on Day 3 early on. Those final two rounds I know there are not a lot of fans on the edge of their seats seeing which player their team took. So that's why I think extended it would probably be pushing it too far.
During the whole draft process, how many prospects will you have evaluated?
Mayock: I will have seen personally at least 150 players and two or three game tapes minimum on each of those players. That doesn't include some of the players where I will just do point-of-attack tapes or highlight reel-type stuff. I get to about five rounds where I feel pretty good because I have seen the players. The rest of it is help from people I trust from around the league. Our research department at NFL Network does a great job, and I will get a binder with over 700 players in it. I've done my work and I know who the players are, but it is always interesting to see how they come up with 700 names for 250 or so to get drafted.
McShay: We have 1,857 players in my database. Obviously, that's all eligible draft prospects. I have watched tape on probably 450 o them. After one tape for the later-round free-agent guys I will decide if it is worth continuing to watch more tape or if I am better served moving on. There are also some guys we write up in May, June and August to get ready for next year that we wind up not even revisiting for whatever reason. It is a minimum of four tapes if I am going to do an evaluation of a player. That is probably four to six hours. With the quarterbacks you have to do more, I believe. I probably wind up doing eight tapes for the top 10 quarterbacks. Obviously the hours add up. But 358 was the number we came to this year.
Who is the most can't-miss player this year, regardless of position?
Linebacker Khalil Mack is expected to go off the board very early on May 8. (Michael Conroy/AP)
Mayock: Khalil Mack from the University at Buffalo. I think he has a physical skill set that is a top-five, elite skill set. Plus, I feel like every game he plays, he plays with an edge about him. Because of that, I don't think he has some of the traps that some of the big-name players do, people wondering whether they will show up every week or how consistent they will be. This kid was lightly recruited, he played college ball in Buffalo, and he has an edge about him because he has something to prove every week.
McShay: It may sound crazy but I will go with Jadeveon Clowney, even though there are concerns about his work ethic and those things. The more I watched and studied him, the more you come to the realization that he was dealing with things this past year that very few have had to deal with, in terms of being the most schemed-against player I have ever seen and all the media pressure and hype that came down on him. I think he learned and matured. Bottom line, I think he is just so talented. It won't be easier [overall in the NFL], but I think it will be simpler dealing with one-on-ones. I can't see a scenario where he flames out and is not at least a good starter in the league.
How did the draft being moved back a couple of weeks affect what you did this year?
Mayock: Not at all. To be honest with you I don't like it, and I have not met anyone affiliated with a team that likes it, but that is today's age. It really has not changed my schedule at all.
McShay: It killed my vacation time (laughs). Honestly it worked out well because the list of underclassman kept growing. There is a catch-up game going on with a lot of teams, and having an extra few weeks has been very helpful. I know it has been for me. I finished all 358 players on April 21 that I gave a full evaluation to, and that is 10 days later than I usually finish. With 98 underclassman it was helpful to have a little extra time. I also think now that the evaluations are done, there will be a lot of noise. I think it is too long. It has been helpful this year, but the bottom line is I think it is much better in late April than early May.
How does the week leading up to the draft compare to the previous six or seven?
Mayock: I was on the road for six weeks up until the third week of April, going to pro days. For the final two weeks it is about getting on the phone with people I respect and trust around the league to compare notes, get all my lists and everything together, and make sure I feel about good about all sides of this thing. I know when I get to New York that Monday of the draft that I will be pulled in all kinds of directions that take me away from stuff. I really have to be ready to go before I get to New York City.
"My daughter has often said that during draft season she could elope and move to China," Mayock says, "and I would not know until after the draft."
McShay: The stress level I had the first three weeks in April was the highest of the year. The vast majority of the guys, if there is no new information based on character or durability, they are not moving around. Once that is set, it really is for me just going in and doing the television. I don't know if it is a good comparison, but you hear coaches say game day is not as stressful as the days leading up because you have figured what you want to do and now it is just go out and call plays. So it's about conveying the message of who these players are, where they should be drafted, and most importantly, what is the best fit for the NFL.
How would your wife or children write up a scouting report for you?
Mayock: My daughter has often said that during draft season that she could elope and move to China and I would not know until after the draft.
McShay: I think my wife respects it all but sometimes she can't wrap her finger around it.
How often do you hear from agents attempting to influence your evaluation?
Mayock: I've gotten to a point where I have a comfortable working relationship with agents because they know they are not going to sway me. Years ago I would get an awful lot of emails and phone calls and people saying, 'Why did you say my guy is this,' or 'Let me send you some statistics.' I think most of them know the way I work is basically that I form my own opinion and they can send me all the stats they want, but they are not getting their guy drafted higher or lower. An agent can position [a client] certain ways, but he will not help [him] get drafted higher. Most of them have given up trying to sway my opinion.
McShay: Not as much anymore. I used to get it all time. There are a few I will talk to once in a while because they have earned my trust because they give honest opinions. But I don't return calls and emails. It has gone away as people realize I am not that interested.
How many hours of sleep do you average in the weeks leading up to the draft?
Mayock: This time of year I like to be sitting at my desk working by six in the morning. Everything is different when you are traveling, which was my schedule for many weeks. The two weeks before the draft I was up by six and there really is no clock at night for me. I work as long as I can until I am satisfied. I am usually in bed my midnight so if I am getting five to six hours this time of year I am pretty happy.
McShay: I probably average around five hours starting in December . It may be a little less in the next couple of weeks because I'll be in Bristol and I get in at 7 or 7:30 a.m. and we are sometimes here until 10:30 p.m. or so.
You can draft one college player at any point in history off his college performance. Who would you draft and why?
Andrew Luck was one of the most pro-ready prospects in draft history. (Ben Liebenberg/AP)
Mayock: I thought the two easiest evaluations I have ever done were Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. I would say Jim Brown would be there, and several tackles too. But I look at it like you want that franchise quarterback, and they were the two guys that appealed to me because not only did they have all the measurables, but also the intangibles that make a great quarterback.
McShay: Andrew Luck. He is the highest grade I have ever given. I started in 2003 so of all the guys I have evaluated it is Andrew Luck. There was no hole in his game. He was just as sharp mentally as he was physically. You can never predict durability but there was just nothing that stood out that you would be concerned about.
What is the best college football town for food?
Mayock: I recently had a great meal in Clemson with brisket and barbecue. It was awesome. In Columbus I had a great cheeseburger and I forget the name of the place but it was the biggest cheeseburger I have ever had. I love all the college towns because of things like the food you can get.
McShay: For food and fun, it's Baton Rouge. Even if you are not a college football fan, if you just enjoy a good time, it's a scene. There is nothing else like it.
How would you do on a Wonderlic test?
Mayock: I'd say plus or minus 25 to 30 out of 50.
McShay: I am nervous to take it. But I think I should. I owe it to people. But it's not an IQ test or how smart you are. I want to take it and I'll probably fail it.
What is the one word that describes you?
Mayock: Thorough.
McShay: Insane.

Nike+ Fuelband full review
It wasn't the first activity tracker out there, but the Nike+ Fuelband is one of the better wearable fitness devices. It's not cheap at £130, but it's very easy and convenient to use.
The rigid band comes in three different sizes and each has a removable link for a more precise fit. However, it's not what we'd call comfortable, and it's fairly bulky: almost 7mm thick in places.
As well as the all-black version there are white and black 'ice' models which are translucent.
You quickly get used to wearing the Fuelband, just as you do a watch, and the only time the bulk is a problem is when you're wearing a shirt with tight cuffs. The benefit, of course, is that you can wear the Fuelband all the time.
As it has a built-in USB plug there are no adapters to lose as with other trackers such as the Fitbit One. You plug it in to a laptop or PC to charge, upgrade the firmware or sync data. Alternatively, you can use pretty much any mains USB charger. See also: Nike+ Fuelband vs Fitbit One comparison review
You get a 'dock' in the box - effectively a USB extension cable - although we found the band flexible enough to plug directly into a USB port.
Battery life is impressive: we found ourselves charging the band less than once a week.
Another bonus is that it's pretty much waterproof, so rain and sweat - even a shower - won't harm it. Nike doesn't recommend you go swimming with it, though.
Nike+ Fuelband review: how it works
The animated LED screen is fun. It has a seriously good 'wow factor' since it's dark unless you pess the button. When you do, it fades up to maximum brightness and, after a few seconds, fades out again. The display lets you know how close you are to your daily goal, and gives you a celebratory lightshow when you hit it.
Extra motivation is provided via the app (currently only for iOS - and only devices with Bluetooth 4.0 will wirelessly synch) or the website (www.nikeplus.com) where you unlock achievements for things like total distance travelled, amount of 'fuel' earned and streaks, where you hit your goal for several consecutive days.
Better still, you can compete with friends who have a Fuelband or use any of Nike's other fitness gadgets or apps. For gamification, the Fuelband beats most other activity trackers hands down.
Your daily goal is measured in 'Fuel', which is Nike's own system of assessing activity levels. It's confusing at first, but once you know roughly how much Fuel you earn on a typical day, you can set your goal just beyond that in order to set a challenge (otherwise you'll merely end up recording the activity you do, rather than pushing yourself to exercise more).
The screen displays Fuel, Steps, Calories and Time, and the coloured bar builds up from red to green throughout the day as you near your goal. It's yet another little motivator that helps you achieve that goal.
Using the app or website you can remove steps and calories from the cycle, and you can flip the display for left- or right-handed modes. Oddly, distance isn't displayed on the Fuelband at all - it's only available in the app or on the website. It would be nice to see Nike add this via a firmware update.
Nike+ Fuelband review: the app and data
Both the website and app (Nike FuelBand: separate from other Nike apps) are easy on the eye. Data is presented clearly and the main focus is on your progress towards that all-important daily goal. Turning your iPhone sideways displays an activity graph for the current day, giving an indication of when you were active and sedentary.
You can also switch to weekly, monthly and yearly bar charts and, on the website, see how your efforts compare with the rest of the Nike community as well as those in your age bracket.
Nike+ Fuelband review: accuracy
As it's worn on your wrist, the Fuelband is inherently less accurate than a tracker clipped to your trouser pocket. It won't pick up many steps when your pushing a trolley or a pushchair, for example, but we found that even counting out steps when walking normally, the Fuelband tended to miss around 60 steps per thousand.
However, if you're planning to use the Fuelband to measure your runs, it's a lot more accurate since you're moving your arms more.
Overall, it provides an accurate account of your activity day in, day out, and can really help to show where you can be more active. Factor in the various motivators and the Fuelband is a good tool to get you out of your seat and doing some exercise.
Nike+ Fuelband review: what it doesn't do
Great as the Fuelband is, it's fairly limited in what it tracks. Even though you can wear it in bed, it won't monitor your sleep (by detecting movement) and it has no altimeter so it can't tell you how high you've climbed. The Fitbit One has both of these features, for £50 less.
Also unlike the Fitbit, the Fuelband doesn't bother with any food/drink or weight logging. It's a much simpler system which can be an advantage if you don't want to track your calorie intake, but means you'll need a separate app or web service if you do.
There's precious little integration (in fact, none) with other Nike+ products, so if you were hoping to do anything more than add to your cumulative Nike
Fuel total with the Fuelband, you'll be rather disappointed.
Finally, don't mistake this for a GPS tracker. The Fuelband has no built-in GPS and won't record where you ran or walked.
Nike+ Fuelband: bottom line
If you look at the Fuelband's capabilities and then the price, it doesn't seem particularly good value. However, as an overall package, the Fuelband is surprisingly motivating, even if you don't have any friends to compete against.
It's convenient, too, thanks to the fact you can wear it permanently, the long battery life, plus the fact that there are no dongles or adapters required.
It's a shame that Nike hasn't yet decided to broaden its horizons beyond the latest iOS devices; Android users are better served by other trackers at the moment.

The Lon Humphrey Rustic Bravo knife was produced at The Knife Connection's request (Dale Stoops) and is a collaboration effort between Lon Humphrey Custom Knives and Bark River Knives. The Bark River Knives Bravo 1 is a very refined knife with design features that have made it a "Best Seller" for several years. I thought, why not take the design features of the best selling Bravo 1 and have Lon Humphrey do a hand forged custom "Rustic Bravo". The result of this mix is a great outdoor knife that not only looks unique but has the features to make it a great performer in the field.
The Rustic Bravo is a great knife for bushcraft, survival and any other type of field work that requires a heavy duty, medium-sized knife. It is very comfortable in the hand and is easy to maneuver providing excellent control. The forged 1095 steel will hold up to anything you will want to throw at it and still provide a lifetime of service. With a blade length of 4.25", the Rustic Bravo hits the "sweet spot" for a "general purpose" outdoor knife. It's big enough to do some serious batoning yet small enough to make fuzz sticks very well. It also works very nicely for field dressing and processing large-game.
Lon Humphrey hand-made, custom knives are the real deal!
Lon Humphrey makes knives the old fashion way by using a forge and a hammer. It takes patience, a keen eye, coordination and manual labor to produce the fine knives that come out of Lon's shop. His knives are made for hard work and they are very pleasing to look at as well. Lon Humphrey Custom Knives offers you unique, quality knives featuring old world craftsmanship from right here in the good old U. S. A.! Since these knives are completely hand-made, no two are exactly alike. When you own a Lon Humphrey Custom Knife, you have a piece of Americana!
The blade is deferentially heat treated for strength and edge retention. The blade features hammer marks and some forge scale giving the knife a unique appearance.
A pouch style leather belt sheath with firesteel loop is included.
Please be aware that due to the way this knife is made and the rustic nature of the knife, size and weight may vary slightly, the grinds may not exactly match and there could be some cosmetic differences. This does not effect the performance of the knife and adds to it's hand made uniqueness.
