Jesus. People were always complaining that Suzaku won every battle between him and Kallen, and when Kallen finally wins without interruption, everyone is debating whether she won or not when the truth is startlingly clear.

the funny part is how they treat kallen passing out as if its some how suzaku's doing
like he made her pass out with that last attack (despite the fact that it didnt hit anywhere near the cockpit and she was still very much awake after it landed)
i already stated my theory (that makes perfect sense IRL) that she was running on andrenalin during the fight (as a part of normal human survival mechinizem) and once she knew her life was no longer in danger (at least from the threat she was facing for all that time, AKA suzaku) her body stopped pumping andrenalin and she collapsed from pushing herself too hard
and yet people kept attacking this theory as if its overlooking something that suzaku did to MAKE her pass out
he made her push herself to the limit of what was humanly possible for a long time (for her at least) so her collapsing is part of his doing
but he didnt actually do any one thing that made her pass out in the end
its knowing that she won the fight and therfor could now relax that made her collapes
its actually normal (happened to me once)
it also makes sense for suzaku not to have collapsed at that point
his life was still in danger (even if his live geass didnt make his stay awake, his normal fight or flight survival mechinizem wouldnt have let him pass out just yet)

It was a tie...If anything, the rules should be set up in advance. If the fight was whether or not it was to see whose machine was the most intact, Kallen won, and if it was to see whose body would be most intact, Suzaku won...
In all actuality, it's not whoever's machine is the most intact, it's who is left surviving without the outside influence of anything. We could also speculate that Jeremiah lost that fight to Anya, since Anya's machine was in better shape than Jeremiah's, but however, it was quite clear that jeremiah won the fight.

I claimed he was trying to stop Kallen from reaching Lelouch and trying to fake his death at the same time, not lose. He didn't lose even in the false case that he was trying to win, because both their mechs got disabled and both would have "died" if not for Tristan. The fact Suzaku didn't exert himself to the same degree Kallen did (falling unconscious) is evidence enough that he wasn't giving it his all. He simply had to stop her and survive in such a manner that his death was faked. Without the Live On command, he wouldn't have been able to match up against the superior Guren. And you're just trying to simplify it by saying she won because of the conditions of their KMFs.

a)he tried to win the fight
he didnt and the best he could do was disable the guren after he had already lost (the arm wouldnt have penetrated into his chest if the guren had ran out of power before doing it)
the lancelot was destroyed the guren was not = kallen won the fight
b)he wasnt fighting kallen for the sake of faking his death
only an idiot tries to fake his death using someone who can actually kill him for real
the lancelot exploded and he used that fact as a cover for his death
but that was only after he lost the fight (he was making lemonade)
he wasnt trying to use kallen as a cover (what would have happend if she really killed him, and who would have saved lelouch from her)
faking his death (while part of the plan) would have happend at a later time

The fact it was revealed that Suzaku "dying" there was all part of a premeditated plan is what indicates he wasn't fighting with "everything he had" to get a clear victory over Kallen. It was part of the plan for him to fake-die in battle. Suzaku was surprised that he had to use the Live On Geass to just stay about on par with Kallen, but again, the fact he pre-planned his death means that he was trying to create a believable "dying" situation. He was surprised that he couldn't decisively manipulate the situation as easily as he hoped, but the show made it clear that he didn't want to "beat" Kallen there. Truly, the Guren SEITEN is a masterpiece since it forced Suzaku to use his Live On Geass in a situation where he would have easily manipulated the situation if Kallen were using an equivalent-spec mech to the Albion. Still, it looks like it wasn't quite high-spech enough for Suzaku to not overcome it anyway.
Faking death at the hands at Kallen was revealed to be part of Zero Requiem. Suzaku let her blow him up. His only goal all along was to not let Kallen interfere, not kill her.

that is wrong in so many ways
1)he was trying to WIN the fight (his finishing move would have been the spinzaku kick, except kallen smashed his leg off)
he was shooting at her with the varis
and destroyed one of the energy wings
if kallen hadent matched him she would have been grounded while he could fly (which makes it hard to sell that she killed him)
2)he wasnt trying to fake his death against kallen (she would have killed him for real) since his death could have faked in a hundred different ways (each of which wouldnt have put the plan at such a risk)
3) his geass makes him "live" at any cost
last time it made him nuke tokyo just so he wont die, so it wouldnt have made him fight better and at the same time let him fight without trying to win (which would be the key to surviving)
4) the guren is a masterpiece
but kallen was the one making it match him move for move and trying to claim that machine specs are all that made her win is rediculus (Lloyd said no other pilot could even use it)
5)and in the end he still lost to the guren so he didnt overcome it
6)kallen and he crossed roads before with equal machines and he never beat her before (ep 24 wasnt equal)
and it wasnt revealed to be part of the plan for kallen to "kill him"
it was part of the plan for him to have died
only an idiot would try it against someone who he couldnt even keep up with without using his geass (which would make him live at any cost, its not seed mode but rather a survival mechnizem)
kallen was a risk to the plan
not part of it (he even tried talking her out of fighting him)
and all becouse lelouch MADE IT A POINT to keep her out of the plan
and how would she have even gotten there
did he plan on gino blowing the shield

Let's get some things straight here.
The Guren was superior to the Albion (unless you like to say that Kallen's too stupid to determine specs) so therefore she had an advantage against him.
Suzaku's advantage was in his geass which pushed him to the limits and this was what cancelled out Kallen's advantage in her mech. She had the better mech, especially when it bogged down to hand to hand combat.
Albion successfully took down the Guren while the Guren punched it in the stomach, end game.
Guren collapses and falls to its death while Albion is left to explode.
If it was not for a certain plot device, Gino, Kallen would've been dead too.
So all in all the fight was techincally a tie but Gino saved Kallen so that made her the victor.

Kallen "won" the battle against Suzaku in Lancelot Albion but her margin of victory was incredibly paper thin, and it cost her everything to do it. Guren was trashed, she was dead tired, and she collapsed from exhaustion. We call that a "Pyrrhic victory" because Suzaku, on the other hand, jumped out of Lancelot and continued on with the Zero Requiem Plan.
Look at it this way:
Small Picture: Kallen won the battle, and it cost her everything to do it. BUT she did beat Suzaku in a Knightmare Frame battle, but by a paper thin margin.
Big Picture: Kallen, despite winning the battle, couldn't go on (Guren was trashed & she was too tired from the battle) to stop Lelouch from using Damoncles and FLEIA. Black Knight's were defeated. The world was conquered by Lelouch.
Depends on the way you look at it, so make it clear which perspective your looking at it from. There are multiple ways to look at a situation, and you may be arguing with someone who looking at it a different way from you. If you just want to focus on the Knightmare Frame battle, fine. If you want to look at the bigger picture and how Kallen fits into all of it, make it clear.

It's pretty clear that Kallen and Suzaku have *always* been portrayed as equal rivals in terms of pilot skill.
Kallen mentioned the Guren *should* have been more powerful spec-wise, and of course it's offset by Suzaku's Live Geass.
In terms of raw performance, the SEITEN in its initial debut seemed alot faster than the Lancelot, and from looks, it appears to have thicker armor, though that might just be cosmetic.
Nice to see the Guren SEITEN had a Jet Magnum at any rate.

If Guren really was better than Lancelot Albion, then why didn't Lloyd or Cecile tweak it or upgrade it some more after the Guren was taken back by Kallen? I can understand they went overboard and powered up the Guren a lot, but why didn't they do the same with Lancelot Albion if Guren was clearly better spec wise?

The Lancelot was never touched by Rakshata, so it's common opinion that it didn't have the benefit of her modifications, even though they should've been able to reverse engineer them when they captured the Guren Kasshoushiki.

DailyDirt: Hamburgers Gone Wild
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- The 'Merica burger is made of ground bacon topped with more bacon and bacon cheddar cheese, along with a fried egg and bacon island dressing. Thankfully, this burger creation was available for only a limited time. [url]
- If customers were allowed to create their own burger combinations, would people really choose to put a greasy cheeseburger between two glazed donuts? The answer is apparently, yes, and they'd add bacon as well. [url]
- What are the ramifications of being overweight? According to a meta-study of 97 prior studies that categorized 2.9 million people by a Body Mass Index, people classified as overweight (BMI >30) had a 6% lower chance of dying than people of average BMI. The conclusion should be that BMI is not a perfect metric for health, but the alternative metrics may have a hard time becoming as widely adopted. [url]

Travel Tips to Budapest (BUD)
An exciting city with plenty of culture and a vibrant nightlife, Budapest is becoming ever more popular as a travel destination. FlyDoha offers flights to Budapest that enable you to reach this beautiful, lively city with ease. Your tickets to Budapest are the starting point of a journey to a modern, thriving city, with new experiences around every corner.
Top Budapest Attractions
- Admire the beauty of Buda Castle in the Castle district
- Take in the incredible view of the city and the famous Danube River from the Savoyai Terrace
- Learn about the medieval origins of the city at the Budapest History Museum
Hidden Gems in Budapest
Budapest is full of fascinating sights. There is a natural spring reservoir under the city which supplies water to several local baths, the settings for some lively parties during the summer. If you want to relax, head to Margaret Island, a peaceful park that can be reached by bridges from either side of the Danube River.
Budapest Activities
Budapest, particularly the Pest district, is becoming increasingly well known as a great place to go for lively nightlife. In addition to having a good party scene, Budapest is also well known for its classical music and can be a great place to take in a musical performance. The Hungarian State Opera House has some of the best acoustics in the world, whilst the rock taverns are a hit with younger travelers.
Plan Your Budapest Holiday
Budapest has a seasonal climate and the temperatures can get very cold in winter, so the peak tourist season is spring through autumn. You can find cheap hotels in Budapest and better flight deals to Budapest outside of this period, and there are plenty of indoor attractions should you travel when the weather is cold. Fly to Budapest via FlyDoha for a stress-free start to your next vacation.

Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov both gave the visitors the lead before goals from Marcelo and Karim Benzema preceded the Portuguese's dramatic winner in the final minutes
All five goals were scored in the final 21 minutes. Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov twice gave Manchester City the lead but Real Madrid equalized twice thanks to goals from Marcelo and Karim Benzema.
Dzeko came off the bench to give the visitors the lead after a surging run from midfield from Toure, but Marcelo quickly replied with a curling shot.
The home supporters were left stunned when Kolarov's free kick drifted untouched into the bottom corner of Iker Casillas' goal but Benzema again pulled Madrid back with a sublime turn and finish.
And Ronaldo ensured that Jose Mourinho's team put their early season woes behind them with a dipping shot that flew past both Vincent Kompany and Joe Hart.
Both Mourinho and Roberto Mancini and sprung selection surprises, although the latter made the more drastic changes following his team's poor start to their league campaign.
World champion Sergio Ramos was dropped from the Madrid defense, with 19-year-old Raphael Varane stepping in, while City handed a debut to the similarly inexperienced Matija Nastasic, with Joleon Lescott restricted to a place among the substitutes.
Mourinho has been unhappy with Mesut Ozil's start to the season but opted to replace the German with loan signing Michael Essien, of Chelsea, and not marquee purchase Luka Modric. Javi Garcia scored on his debut on Saturday and played again in midfield for the visitors.
With neither Ozil nor Modric in the starting lineup, Ronaldo roamed into the space left vacant in the center of the pitch and immediately looked the game's most threatening player. Hart was tested for the first time when the Portuguese raced on to Higuain's pass before fooling Kompany with a series of tricks and the England goalkeeper did well to palm the low shot wide.
Ronaldo continued to fire at will from the left side of the penalty area and Hart was called into action again when Higuain deflected another powerful shot with his head from close range.
The visitors gradually began to gain more of a foothold but could not get the ball to stick in attack and when they conceded possession, Real Madrid demonstrated its counterattacking prowess. Higuain could not quite control a superb pass dropped behind the City defense by Angel di Maria and Sami Khedira diverted Ronaldo's follow-up effort over the crossbar.
Two adventurous midfield runs by Toure began with promise but ended without troubling Casillas and Higuain went close again when he latched on to Di Maria's cross to the back post before the half was out.
It is difficult to imagine that in this, of all games, attacking quality would be in short supply but while both teams ventured into dangerous territory early in the second half, the finishing touches needed to open the scoring continued to elude them.
Mancini had already introduced Kolarov from the bench when Samir Nasri suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and with both benches littered with attacking talent, more changes seemed inevitable. Dzeko was next to take the field, replacing David Silva, and the Bosnian would provide the cutting edge that had been missing.
Toure, who had looked City's biggest threat all night long, broke out of the midfield again to create a two-on-one attack and this time successfully found his target with a simple through ball. Dzeko took the pass in his stride and beat Casillas with a composed, low left-footed finish.
Ozil had already been thrown into the fray and Modric and Benzema were quickly introduced as Mourinho sought to salvage something from the match, but Toure almost doubled the lead when released by Carlos Tevez, shooting narrowly wide.
The Spanish champions immediately looked more dangerous in the final third following the changes, though, and Marcelo curled a right-footed shot into the top corner after shaking off Kompany just outside the penalty area.
Set-pieces have troubled Madrid all season and after Pablo Zabaleta had failed to get contact on Carlos Tevez's low cross, Kolarov delivered a free kick that found its way into the back of the net after flying without interference past defenders and attackers alike.
Incredibly, though, there was more to come, and Mancini's celebrations on the sideline were short-lived. Benzema was next to strike after a mazy run from Di Maria, turning on the edge of the box and firing a powerful, low shot into the bottom corner.
And City's hearts were broken when Ronaldo stepped inside Zabaleta – who had relieved Maicon of his duties of marking the Portugal star – and released a dipping shot that beat the partially obscured Hart after Kompany had put himself in the way of the ball but failed to head clear.

Last night was about giving some face time to the alts (and acquiring rested XP on Tatia). I have many and they mostly serve purposes. If we were leveling up as one happy alt family we'd be more functional. Unfortunately Tatia had to sprint ahead and now the others are befuddled as to how to be helpful.
Tatia, my Paladin, is my main toon. She's currently doing skinning and enchanting. The goal with her professions was to do something useful that required no effort. IE, anything that falls at my feet. I didn't want to have to be running off to mine ore or pick flowers as that would take away from my push to level the fastest. Enchanting was taken mainly for the disenchanting. I hate having to sell soulbound items for a pittance when the disenchanted mats sell for way more. The combination of Auctioneer and Enchantrix is very powerful. Anything that sells for greater than it disenchants is sent to AH. Otherwise it's disenchanted. This has the added bonus of being able to put whatever enchant I want on her armor/weapons. With skinning, anything she kills she skins. She then sends stacks of hides/skins to Tikah. No fuss, no muss.
Tikah, my Hunter, is my Skinner/Leatherworker. Up until last week Tikah just banked the skins because she was capped at LW 150 and couldn't do anything with the skins. Last week her bank filled up completely so I played Tikah to "get her up to at least 20″ so she could increase her Leatherworking. I actually played her until 21 (SO MUCH FUN!!) and got her a partially see-through kitty (as of yet unnamed) as a new pet. Tikah at 21 is now happily skilling her Leatherworking up further… That said, Tatia wears plate so Leatherworking is wasted on her. It -is- a good source of disenchantable items… and the sale of items/skins is generating a nice steady income. Tikah is now pulling her weight.
Last night I played a bunch of my other Alliance-side alts. I was in the mood. None of them hit the magic 20 mark.. but I played them until I felt I was done playing them for the night.
Obliette, my Druid, is my Herbalist/Alchemist. For a couple weeks it was nice to have Obliette send potions/elixers to Tatia. Then Tatia sped past the point where Obliette's potions/elixers were useful (though the underwater breathing made Vile Reef farming of blue pearls -much- easier). Obliette's been sitting at 14 since Tatia was declared my new main. Last week I played Obliette up to 17. Last night I played her up to 19 (which according to the Armoury makes her the highest level "Obliette" in the world). I found playing the Druid to be absolutely painful. I don't know what it was.. in Bear form I really wanted to drop hammers (and to strangle the "Not Enough Rage" voice) and in Night Elf form I kept running out of mana. It was just frustrating. The least frustrating part was swimming around in (really ugly) seal form picking Stranglekelp. I'm hopeful that cat form, with its higher DPS will make the druid more fun to play.
Monneh, my Priest, is my Tailor/Enchanter. Monneh was an enchanter first.. but Tatia has quickly sped past her… so Monneh's enchanting is a little redundant. I'm not sure what I want to do about that. Monneh's been sitting at 17 for a while. As a plate wearer, Tatia has no use for Monneh's clothie goods. But it just seems silly to leave Monneh at level 17 capped out at 150 tailoring when we could easily go to 20 and raise her tailoring skills. The lure of bags is huge. I enjoyed playing Monneh more than playing Obliette. Holy Shield makes me happy. I found her to be a lot less durable than my Paladin.. and adds during a fight were stressful. Monneh seemed to be easier on the mana than Obliette.. but there was still a lot of drinking pauses and a couple of deaths. I think it will be fairly easy to level Monneh up to 20.
Ette, my warlock, is now at level 7. Ette is the new kid in the family. I made her late last week. She doesn't really have a place yet. I can't say precisely why I made her. It just seemed like the right thing to have a little pigtailed, green-haired, green-eyed gnome in the family. I'm loving the dots.. grooving on the "Life Tap"/Bandage combo and yearning for my blueberry. Fear is fun.. but supposedly will become more fun with the additon of "Curse of Recklessness". Ette took up mining last night but I'm not entirely sure why. If she does mining it will be to AH the stuff as I have no Engineers or Blacksmiths. She could take up Engineering.. but Peter said it's a money pit.. and I believe him. I'm kinda "meh" on the whole idea of Ette's professions.
Tikataka, my rogue, is a level 26 skinner/herbalist and I expect she'll sit there for a while. I'm just not excited about playing the rogue. I don't know why. It just isn't my thing.
In all.. I found that for my pleasure:
Paladin > Hunter/Warlock > Priest > Druid/Rogue
I haven't played a Warrior or a Shaman.. so I don't know how they fit.
Fiancee keeps asking me why I bother with my alts. Anything they could craft I could probably get from guildies. I don't really have a good answer except that leaning that heavily on my guildies feels like freeloading. Which isn't really an answer since Baldwyn's been providing me with armor.. and Lashala with bags. So I guess I'm already freeloading. *sigh*
I guess I'm playing alts to give myself time away from my main. Tatia all the time is too much. Sometimes you just want to blast away at something from range instead of blugeoning it toe-to-toe.

No sleep is not an option for me. My sense of security is back in tact since I think we are on the same page in trying to work things out. I lean over and kiss his lips. I say goodbye and don't hear a response before I walk out the door….not knowing what is in store next.
I text Jason the next day apologizing for leaving and explaining how he knows that his loud snoring keeps me awake.
He doesn't reply. I text him again later in the day, and he doesn't respond to that text…Continue

Nikki Haley Expresses Sliver of Olympic Doubt
Russia was banned this week from the 2018 Winter Games; will the US ban itself? UN Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday called Team USA's participation in the Games an "open question" in an interview with Fox News.
The Washington Post reports that the Games will take place in South Korea, roughly 50 miles from the DMZ, and with tensions high on the Korean Peninsula, Haley was asked if it was a "done deal" that the US would attend.
Her reply in full, per CNN: "There's an open question. I have not heard anything about that, but I do know in the talks that we have—whether it's Jerusalem or North Korea—it's about, how do we protect the US citizens in the area?"

Restoring customers' faith in the Lululemon brand remains a work in progress.
After the company's announcement on Thursday that its quarterly same-store sales declined for the first time since 2009, new CEO Laurent Potdevin told CNBC that the activewear company "let down our guest a little" by failing to innovate the product, which in turn prevented its traffic from rebounding.

The anemic customer traffic levels also come in the wake of a series of company gaffes last year, including comments from former CEO Chip Wilson that the brand's pants weren't meant for all women's bodies. Those remarks came after a highly publicized recall of the firm's marquee luon pants, which were reported to pill and become sheer.

In addition to being your resource for honest nutrition and health information, a major aspect of BioTrust's mission is to work with top-rated charities by donating a significant portion of every dollar we earn to help supply nutritious food, clean water, and improved medical services to families in need, both domestically and abroad.
It's good folks like you who encourage us and help us realize this goal. These charitable efforts are done in your name and could not be accomplished without your unyielding support.
BioTrust recently teamed up with David Lyons and the good folks involved with the MS Fitness Challenge (MSFC) to help transform lives. Through a donation to the MSFC, BioTrust will help three MS patients battle Multiple Sclerosis and "win the battle against all odds."
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where your own body believes the nervous system is the enemy and attacks it. MS is characterized by a unique feeling of numbness yet constant, extreme pain.
MS can cause uncoordinated movements, a loss of vision, the inability to think clearly, constant fatigue, and, in severe cases, the loss of normal bodily functions and organ irregularities. There is currently no cure for MS, and the majority of MS patients are led to believe that they are destined for terrible symptoms that progressively worsen.
However, David Lyons' approach to battling MS was to take the "giant head on and defeat it." "I could not sit by and watch the disease destroy my body," says Lyons. Instead, David dedicated himself to training—he even competed in a bodybuilding show and is preparing for another—and proper nutrition and supplementation.
What David experienced was incredible. Rather than progressively deteriorating, he went from a meager "160 pounds of mush to 215 pounds of BIG!" Says Lyons, "I am bigger, stronger, and more determined than ever to beat this disease my way!"
An inspirational leader, David chose not to keep this "secret" to himself. Lyons' burning desire to help others who suffer from multiple sclerosis spawned the MS Fitness Challenge. The MS Fitness Challenge "is my test to others to encourage them to fight this debilitating disease through health and fitness," says Lyons.
It is the goal of the MS Fitness Challenge to partner with gyms across the country as they have done with Fitness Evolution gyms and provide certified fitness professionals to people with MS nationwide in an effort to educate and train them in the benefits of fitness in winning the battle against multiple sclerosis.
Because most MS patients cannot afford the cost of hiring someone to help them, the MSFC pays for fitness professionals at a partner gym and provides products to help them, free of cost, during a 12 week program through the donations of its supporters. MSFC provides the support MS patients need to stay as fit as possible, overcome limits, and keep their bodies moving.
Because of the great support of friends and clients like you, BioTrust Nutrition donated the funds necessary to support three MS athletes in their personal quests to battle this debilitating and disheartening disease.
Once again, it's good folks like you who have encouraged us and helped us to make one of our dreams come true: helping men, women, and children all over the world to improve their health. We're honored to have the great opportunity to serve you and to have you as a customer and a friend. For this, we can't thank you enough.
With Gratitude,
Team BioTrust
If you would like to help those with MS to beat this disease through health & fitness and combat its devastating effects on the body, we encourage you to visit the MS Fitness Challenge website. 100% of all donations go to the cost of the MS Fitness Challenge program with a portion going to the National MS Society to support their organization's work to educate, provide resources and help find a cure for multiple sclerosis.

The gas gauge in Carlos Cardenas' vehicle was not looking good. You know the expression riding on fumes? If that's technically possible, it was certainly happening at that moment. "I needed to stop. It had already hit the empty warning," the 27-year old admitted.
That decision has helped make him a wealthy young man. While he was at the Whittier ARCO ampm gas station (10121 Whittier Blvd.), something told him to buy $5 worth of Mega Millions® tickets. After all, the jackpot was a cool $94 million. "Something told me to buy a ticket. I usually play when it (the jackpot) gets above $60 million. I had an little eerie feeling to buy one, like 'get it, get it, get it!'" Cardenas remembered with a laugh.
On Wednesday, after he and his brother picked up a birthday present for his mom, Cardenas said he stopped at a convenience store to get a smoothie. When he was there, he decided to check his Mega Millions numbers. "I thought it was an error (after scanning them on the check-a-ticket machine). Me and my brother were like 'I think it's broke…it doesn't work!'" he recalled. "So I was like, you know what, I'm going to scan it again. I was like, 'no dude, the same thing happened. It's not broken! I won it. I did hit it. I won the Mega!!'"
Cardenas checked his phone and the California Lottery website just to make sure. He was right. And then there was what you might describe as controlled chaos and confusion inside the store where he'd stopped. "I was kind of loud. Well, loud enough," laughed the Southern California casino worker. "The clerk, I don't think she understood (what was going on). She probably looked at us like 'what are these bozos happy about?!'"
He and his brother had every reason to be happy – and loud! Carlos won $910,781 after correctly picking five of the six numbers during Tuesday night's Mega Millions draw. And get this – Cardenas came oh-so-close to winning the $94 million jackpot. His Quick Pick® winning numbers were 25-44-49-60 and 73. He missed the Mega number by just two! The winning Mega number was 9. He had 7!!
Cardenas isn't complaining though. He says he plans to help pay off his family's debt, maybe purchase a new home and help expand his father's Wholesale Produce business with a new truck and warehouse. "We've also been planning a road trip to Vegas since last year. This is a nice little chunk of money (to do it now). I'm not much of a gambler, but I'm lucky!"
And remember that birthday present he bought his mom right before he found out he'd won nearly $1 million? "I'll be buying her something nicer," Cardenas assured us with a laugh. "This is still unbelievable. I hit it?! It doesn't seem real."

Official Portal for North Dakota State Government
Bismarck is the Capital of the state of North Dakota.
North Dakota has enjoyed two statehouses, the first constructed during the territorial period (1883-4) five years before statehood in 1889. Fire consumed the Capitol on the night of December 28, 1930. They sold 160 acres of the Capitol grounds to help pay for the 2nd building. The second and present Capitol was completed in 1934, in the depths of the Great Depression. They eliminated much of the exterior ornament from Holabird and Root's design. For instance, a thirty-foot statue intended for the entry plaza in front of Memorial Hall was reduced to a simple obelisk and eventually was removed altogether. They also deleted the decorative etching from the cornice stones of the Legislative wing and from the metal panels between windows of the administrative tower. The abandonment of exterior embellishment does not deny the building's Art Deco roots; rather, that simplification links the building with the International Style, an architectural order which dominated commercial construction after World War II. North Dakota's Capitol was slightly under its $2 million dollar limit, has 80 percent usable space, it cost merely 46 cents per cubic foot! The Capitol Building is 241 feet and 8 inches in height. The WPA workers (Works Progress Administration), made .30 cents per hour and went on strike to get .50 cents. This is when the Capitol went under martial Law 6-1-33.

McKinsey Tries to Recruit Mothers Who Left the Fold
McKinsey & Co. wants its moms back.
The big consulting firm is quietly reaching out to female employees who left some years ago—presumably to start families—to see whether they are ready to return.
Details of the initiative, still in its early stages, are sketchy, and McKinsey offered no further information, except to say it isn't a companywide policy. But the effort is one small signal that at least some companies are re-examining some of the most basic terms of women's working lives.
The issue of lost women workers remains a delicate one for many companies, particularly in highly skilled professions, such as consulting or banking. After spending their 20s in high-intensity jobs, many women leave or switch to part-time work when they have children.
Most companies simply acknowledge the departures and move on, but some of them are starting to recruit talented women who are ready to resume work.
McKinsey has publicly grappled with the issue of recruiting and retaining women. In a 2011 interview with The Wall Street Journal, McKinsey managing director Dominic Barton acknowledged that women accounted for just 25% of the firm's "intake," adding that "if you look at the numbers, we're not where we need to be, so we're losing on the talent side."
According to its website, McKinsey has 8,000 active consultants in the field and 24,000 members in its alumni network.
The other Big Three consulting firms have their own programs targeted at current and former female employees. At Bain & Co., a group of partners oversees women's initiatives, staying in touch with female alumni and promoting flexible work options.
More than 100 women, most of them mothers, have returned to the firm since 2000, says Russ Hagey, Bain's global chief talent officer and a senior partner. The firm says more than 80% of its female partners have taken advantage of flextime.
Boston Consulting Group says it focuses heavily on recruiting and retaining women, offering part-time options, mentoring and professional development programs. Lucy Brady, a BCG partner and mother of three, says she was appointed partner while working part-time at the firm, which she has done for 10 out of 15 years.
Several other employers are trying programs to bring former workers back into the fold. Some of them, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., have "returnship" programs, paid short-term jobs targeted at professionals who haven't worked for several years.
In most cases, these employees are women who left to have children, says Carol Fishman Cohen, co-founder of iRelaunch, a career re-entry consulting firm in Newton, Mass., and author of a Harvard Business Review article about returnships. "Companies…should be focusing on this pool just like they're focusing on the pool of recent college graduates," she says.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, a former U.S. State Department official whose essay, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," sparked a furor when it appeared in the Atlantic last July, said McKinsey's Mr. Barton has discussed a plan to win back talented women who "stepped off the track" years ago.
"What Dominic Barton said to me was, 'These women were phenomenally smart, and we lost all that talent, and we're going to get it back,' " she said in a speech late last year.
McKinsey declined to make Mr. Barton available for comment.
A 2009 study of female attorneys in New Jersey, conducted by Rutgers University's Center for Women and Work, found that 29% of the respondents said they left their previous firms because they had "difficulty integrating work with family/personal life."
And in a 2010 McKinsey report, female senior executives cited the "double burden syndrome" of balancing motherhood and work as the main obstacle to women attaining more top roles in companies.
To be sure, reactivating workers who have been off the job for years presents big challenges for both employers and the returning worker.
Returnees must adapt to a changed workplace, with a less-stable workforce and new technology, says Karen White, director of the Working Families Program at the Rutgers Center for Women and Work.
Employers can ease the transition by including returning employees in orientation sessions, says iRelaunch's Ms. Fishman Cohen. However, it is up to the employee to brush up on tools such as Microsoft Excel and social media before coming back to work, she says.
Often, the biggest challenge returnees face is how to regain their confidence while allowing for mistakes. "People coming back, especially high performers, feel this pressure to walk back in the door and expect the same level of performance," Ms. Fishman Cohen says. Instead, they should hold candid conversations with their bosses about an "adjustment period."
Work and family experts often tout moms as "great managers," but skills developed while managing a household don't necessarily translate to the office, Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter said in a recent essay. "Family managers are accustomed to being surrounded mostly by people who are…clearly dependent, unable to function fully on their own," Ms. Kanter wrote. "Spending quality time with people with limited vocabularies doesn't hone complex strategic thinking."
Victor Cheng, a former McKinsey consultant who now advises aspiring management consultants, recalls a push in the mid-1990s to increase the firm's female partners. Typically, M.B.A.s take six to eight years to make partner, so many women attain partner status just as they are ready to have children.
McKinsey offered a slower path to partnership for part-time employees, but the demands were so great that during his time at the firm, Mr. Cheng says, "the joke was that working half-time was still 40 hours a week."
McKinsey still offers flexible work schedules for women, and many offices have networks that provide guidance for mothers. New mothers can participate in a "phase back" program to help them readjust to work after maternity leave.
The firm also publishes a guide for mothers titled "Laptops and Lullabies."

Tonight AMD is releasing another new video card called the Radeon HD 6790. This video card shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as they were made available on the retail market before the card officially announced by AMD. The AMD Radeon HD 6790 isn't a revolutionary change, but it is more of an evolutionary change. What do we mean by that? Well, the AMD Radeon HD 6790 is nothing more than a 40nm Barts core that has some things disabled and the clock speeds adjusted. Remember when AMD announced the AMD Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon HD 5850 graphics cards back in 2009 and then followed both of those up with a Radeon HD 5830? That card used same PCB that the Radeon HD 5870 used, but had more stream processors (ALU's) disabled that either the Radeon HD 5850 and Radeon HD 5870. It made up for the disabled stream processors by having a higher clock speed than the Radeon HD 5850, which meant it also consumed more power. It was a very strange card, but it worked and fit in the Radeon HD 5800 series as it used a "Cypress" core. Think of the AMD Radeon HD 6790 as a Radeon HD 6830.
AS you can see the AMD Radeon HD 6790 fills in the gap between the Radeon HD 6850 ($144.99) and the Radeon HD 5770 ($99.99). The AMD Radeon HD 6790 has an MSRP of $149.99 and is already available in the market. We expect the AMD Radeon HD 6790 to fall in price in the days to come as numerous AMD Radeon HD 6850 video cards can be had for $145-$150 after rebate. We figured the AMD Radeon HD 6790 would be called the Radeon HD 6830 and it looks like many others thought this way as well as AMD issued this statement on the nomenclature of the card:
"The AMD Radeon HD 6790 products are positioned between our AMD Radeon HD 6850 and the HD 6770 (the OEM equivalent of the HD5770). The performance of the HD 6790 is roughly 20% higher than the HD 5770/6770, which makes a lot of sense when you consider the performance difference between most HDxx50 and HDxx70 products. Juxtaposing the product's specifications may shed some additional light on this. The AMD Radeon HD 6790 shares many 3D engine configuration similarities with to the rest of the AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series. Namely, the 800 stream processors are common across the HD 6790 and HD 6770, while 16 render back-end units are common across the entire HD 6700 Series of products. Ultimately, we are trying to help buyers better understand just the performance of the product by providing what we feel is the most descriptive branding." – AMD Marketing
That being said we still feel that AMD should call this card the AMD Radeon HD 6830 to keep it consistent with what they did on the last product series.
As you can see the AMD Radeon HD 6790 has a 840MHz core clock and a 1050Mhz memory clock. The card has 800 stream processors and is rated as having 1.34 TFLOPS of compute power. Not bad numbers and you can see how it stacks up to the AMD Radeon HD 6850 and Radeon HD 6870 below.
|Core Clock
|Memory Clock
|Board TDP
|AMD Radeon HD 6790
|AMD Radeon HD 6850
|AMD Radeon HD 6870
The AMD Radeon HD 6790 has 320 fewer stream processors and the ones that it has left run 60Mhz slower than the AMD Radeon HD 6870. As you can see both the core and memory clock speeds on the AMD Radeon HD 6790 are higher than what is seen on the AMD Radeon HD 6850.
Pictured above is the AMD Radeon HD 6790 graphics card that AMD sent out and if it looks familiar to you don't be surprised. The reference design that AMD sent out is identical to the AMD Radeon HD 6870. It's the same exact PCB and cooler that is used on the Radeon HD 6870! We asked AMD about this and they said that the cards on the market won't look like this:
Though the reference boards we sent out to you may resemble the 6870, the AIB designs will vary greatly from what you're seeing on our sample boards, including PCB, power connectors, cooler design etc. This means the AIBs have the choice to, e.g. include one or two power connectors on the PCB. – AMD Marketing
Since AMD said that retail cards won't be based on this design it means that our performance numbers should represent what you see on the store shelves, but the power consumption, temperature testing and overclocking results will greatly vary.

Last week I had the honor of co-hosting a book signing party for the lovely Jenna Weber and her new book "White Jacket Required."
Jenna is the author of the wildly popular "Eat, Live, Run" blog, and this is her first book. Her parents live in Savannah and attend church with Steve and me.
In her book, Jenna takes readers through her decision to attend Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando and the ups and downs of attending one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the world. She also shares the personal side of her life, with stories of roommates, relationships and the tragic loss of her brother.
I fell in love with the book because Jenna sees and shares the experiences of life through food. I was much older than Jenna is now when I came to the realization that food was the central commonality in all of my life experiences. My memories aren't as clear about the places I've been as they are about the food I had while I was there. Each week, I invite readers into my life through this column without hesitation. I can do that because I love sharing food with you. My experiences are almost peripheral happenings around the food. Jenna has shared her life on her blog for years, but in her book, she takes her readers even deeper into her life finishing each chapter with recipes from the experience.
Kay Heritage, the photographer who takes the beautiful photos that accompany my articles, was my co-host for the book signing party. We held it in the beautiful pub at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum and had so much fun working together planning and preparing food for the evening.
When Jenna arrived, even though I had never met her, I felt as if an old friend had walked into the room just from reading her book. She is as warm and lovely as her story is. Of course she showed up to her own party with food, Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites, but that's just what food people do. They were really good, too! You can find the recipe on her blog, eatliverun.com.
Jenna had been on tour for her book launch for a couple of weeks when she arrived in Savannah, so I wanted to make a recipe from her book to make her feel at home. In one chapter of her book, "Make Them Feel Like You Care," she shares an evening at the restaurant where she worked as a hostess while attending school. The manager, Tony, tells her she needs to be more assertive and get to know the guests, "make them feel like you care" he tells her.
At the end of this chapter, she has a recipe for Old Fashioned Gingerbread Cookies, so I decided let her know we care and make the cookies for her party. At the end of the recipe she has a note about making sandwiches out of the cookies using her Chocolate Buttercream recipe. I admit to some hesitancy of mixing chocolate and gingerbread together, but I knew enough about her from reading her book to know they had to be good or she wouldn't have shared them. I was right and the cookies were a big hit at the party.
"White Jacket Required" is a beautiful little book is a quick read with a heartwarming story and will be enjoyed by non-cooks as well cooks. But, if you are one of those people who can related to scars on your wrists from being burned repeatedly by hot oven racks, this book will have you laughing and crying and will make you want to get up and get in the kitchen to try her wonderful recipes.
Teri Bell is co-owner of Miss Sophie's Marketplace at the Mighty Eighth in Pooler. Go to sophiesmarketplace.com.
From "White Jacket Required" by Jenna Weber. It smelled like Christmas in our kitchen the day we baked these. One of these cookies and a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly fall day would be just perfect!
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2/3 cup molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325 F. In a large heavy-bottom pot, combine brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and white pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove pot from stove and add baking soda, stirring to combine well (be careful: the mixture will bubble up here - just keep stirring!). Add butter a few chunks at a time, stirring to combine with each addition. Add egg and stir, Stir in the flour and salt gradually. The dough will be very soft and still warm.
Roll the dough 1/4 - inch think on a floured surface and cut into rounds with a cookie cutter or large glass.
Bake cookies, spaced 2 inches apart, until golden and just set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. The cookies will firm up as the cool.
To make sandwiches, spread Chocolate Buttercream Icing on one cookie and top with another cookie.
From "White Jacket Required" by Jenna Weber. This is a delicious and easy frosting recipe that would also be delicious on white or yellow cupcakes.
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
Pinch of sea salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, salt and vanilla for 5 minutes on high speed. Add the cocoa powder and milk and keep beating for another 8-10 minutes until very light, thick and fluffy.

How to Replace a Multiport Valve Spider Gasket
Most D.E. and Sand pool filters have a Multiport valve, so called because of it's multiple ports. These are handy valves, allowing for backwashing in a single movement, and when they were introduced in the 70's, pool owners and pool service people alike applauded.
Like every piece of pool equipment however, some maintenance is to be expected. One of the most common repairs to a Multiport valve is the replacement of the internal gasket, called the Spider Gasket. This type of gasket seals the 4 ports in a Multiport valve, keeping the water from going in directions not intended.
When the spider gasket becomes old, brittle, stretched or broken, it will begin to exhibit the following:
1. Water exiting the backwash port - when Not in the Backwash position.
2. Adding DE powder to the skimmer, and noticing it returning to the pool.
3. Poor water clarity, as some water is bypassing the filter, returning to pool.
Here's the Steps involved in Inspecting and Replacing your multiport valve spider gasket.
STEP ONE: Remove the Multiport Lid or Cover. Usually six (6) screws on the top. Use a small flathead screwdriver on the bottom to hold the nuts in place, while you use a large phillips head screwdriver to remove the stainless steel screws.
Place these aside, so they don't get lost!
STEP TWO: Lift the handle of the valve, and pull out what's called the Key Assembly. You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to pry upwards to remove the valve key assembly.
Once this is removed, inspect the rotor for cracks and damage. Also inspect the spring that is between the rotor and the lid. This stainless steel spring can become corroded and eventually break. This will usually be evident by a "floppy" handle - or no tension when you push down on the multiport valve handle.
Another small inspection should be given to the lid oring, to be sure it is intact. In this case, the lid oring is under the valve cover, in the groove.
STEP THREE: Inspect the spider gasket. If the spider gasket looks warped, bent, worn or cut - you have found the problem. Removing the spider gasket seems difficult at first. Use a small sharp flathead to dig under the gasket, being careful not to damage the edges of the grooves that the spider gasket fits into.
When you get a good portion out of the groove, grab a holda that sucker and yank it out! It takes some pulling and tugging, as the original spider gaskets are spot glued into place. If it gets stuck, use that sharp, small screwdriver to help remove it.
STEP FOUR: If you ripped out the old gasket (like I advised above), you will likely have some small bits of gasket remaining in the bottom of the grooves. Use your small, sharp flathead again, and scrape the bottom of the grooves to remove all these little bits. This is important - so that your new spider gasket will fit flush, all the way into the groove.
After cleaning the grooves, or before, remove any residual water from the grooves. You can use cotton, paper towels, even a leaf blower or a shop vac. Remove all the water from the grooves so they are almost completely dry.
STEP FIVE: Use some SuperGlue or Silicone dabs - just a dab'll do ya! Place a dab or drop of glue into each spoke or channel, and then put several more around the outside groove or channel.
Place your replacement spider gasket into the groove, ridged side up, flat side down. Push it down firmly into the grooves, so that it becomes fully seated. No need to lubricate the new spider gasket.
REASSEMBLE: Place the Key assembly back into the valve housing, making sure to install in the same orientation as when it was removed. Check that the lid o-ring is seated properly.
Reinstall the screws around the lid and your done! So easy you can do it at your desk!

Teresa Margolles
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in collaboration with the Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), presents a new commission by Mexican artist Teresa Margolles.
Margolles has created a series of six custom-made concrete benches to be exhibited near the north piazza of the BP Grand Entrance at LACMA for LAND's exhibition VIA/Stage 2. The cement used to construct these benches has been mixed with a liquid that was used to clean corpses in an autopsy room in Mexico—four gruesome fatalities, all products of drug- and gang-related violence. These functional benches, intended for use by museum visitors, take the form of an abstracted human body lying prone on the ground.
Margolles has used this format previously, presenting a set of six benches at Jardin Botánico Culiacán, in Culiacán, Mexico, intended as monuments to the dead where spectators might find peace in the tragedies. The new works at LACMA, on the other hand, function as what the artist describes as "perfect embodiments of the spirit of evil," asking those that might engage with them to feel the overwhelming energy of aggression that produced the infused material. However, the elegant, minimal aesthetic of the work, their placement (per the artist's request) in a beautiful, outdoor space, and their value as a place of rest and contemplation for a passing viewer suggest the possibility for brutality and poetry to coexist.
Teresa Margolles was born in Culiacán, Mexico, where she studied art, communication sciences, and received a diploma in forensic medicine from the Servicio Médico Forense. Her practice involves the development of social and conceptual artistic strategies on the basis of the use of bodily substances and images of corpses. Margolles's work has increasingly been exhibited in different venues around the world, and she was the official representative of Mexico at the 53rd International Art Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia (2009).
LAND is a public art initiative committed to curating site- and situation-specific contemporary art projects, in Los Angeles and beyond. Find more information about the initiative on the LAND website.
This exhibition courtesy of Jardin Botánico Culiacán & CIAC. This exhibition is part of VIA, a year-long, multi-site exhibition, organized by the Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and presented throughout Los Angeles, featuring a suite of temporary, public projects by contemporary artists from Mexico.
