Dear Reader,
The quality of your life, both physical and spiritual, depends on your personal power. It is this power that allows you to live to your potential.
The reason you have not fulfilled your potential is because you do not have a true understanding of how you, the person, works and the forces that are at play in shaping your life.
You go through life in a state of being, that can be described as unaware, like being in a daydream state. As you meet people and become involved in situations you unconsciously react to them. In other words you are unaware of the forces that come into play and guide your actions, so you bounce from one situation to another and have negative experiences.
When you are conscious and aware, you are able to respond accordingly and your experiences become positive. You learn from the events in your life.
You achieve your potential by merging your soul with your physical body. That means the spiritual part of you (everyone has a spiritual part to them) has to be aligned with the physical part of you. The way you do this is through your mind. Your mind is the link between the two.
I don't mean your brain, I mean your mind. The part of you that works out right from wrong and allows you to do more than function like a robot or an animal.
You probably don't know that with your mind you have created everything you see. Everything has originated from your thoughts.
Some of your thoughts create your emotions and your emotions are the force that pushes you to act. Your emotions cause you to act in ways that you don't want. Some very powerful emotions are fear, anger, jealousy and envy. There are many more subtle emotions and variations of common emotions that everyday, dictate to you how you should act.
These powerful emotions not only make you act in ways beyond your control but they also prevent you from doing things. Fear is a classic example of this, it stops you from doing many things.
It would be a different story if you had an understanding of the process but the reality is much different. You don't know what you are doing in this regard…
It is estimated that you have 50,000 thoughts per day. That's about one thought per waking second and you don't even know what they are.
Look for yourself. What are the thoughts that you have already thought in the last half hour? If you are like most people you will struggle to come up with even a few, yet you had about 1800 thoughts!
That's why it appears that your world is not of your own making.
In actual fact you are incredibly good at creating what you think – you just don't know what that is!
Not being aware and not knowing the techniques that I show you, creates the following negative situations in your life. You will be able to identify with at least one if not all of these twenty one examples.
So how do you know that you haven't already reached your potential and anything else is a waste of time, money and effort?
The short answer is that, if you can imagine it, then you can have it! The problem of course is that there is a huge gap between your current reality and the outer limits of your imagination.
The Key to Life Manual shows you how to close the gap in the fastest possible way. It is real life information that has been tested on countless real people. It is not theoretical crap that has no chance of surviving the test of your life, keep reading and I will tell you why these techniques work.
The longer you live your life without this knowledge the less time you have to do something. Every minute that passes is a minute wasted that you can never have back!
That's fine, you might be satisfied to live your life and have no control over what happens to you. You might be one of those people who just ignores the fact that you can have more. You might want to live a life that consists of watching television in the evening and battling traffic every morning only to wake up and realise that your life is over. Your remaining years are eaten away by fear and regret.
You'll be excited when you discover what I am offering. You see you still have a chance because what you are about to discover gives you freedom!
Read what others say about it…
You'll want to pay close attention to what I'm about to share with you because I'm about to show you a way you can revolutionize your life.
Take it from me because I was! Yes, I was poor, sad and miserable. If I hadn't discovered these techniques my life would still be that way today.
The fact is that you don't have control over what happens in your life! You go from day to day not understanding the forces that are at work so things just stay the same.
You are at the mercy of your surroundings and you may not even realize it. You are doing what your environment pushes you into doing and you have no control. You even have to go to work everyday!
You are supposed to be in control of your destiny but the problem is they don't teach you how to do this at school. You are not shown how easy it is to live the life you dreamed about. You don't need to live an average existence and a miserable one is out of the question when the techniques to a better life are at hand. The Key To Life Manual shows you how to be the master of your destiny.
Here are twelve more essential things I will show you..
Without the techniques in the Key To Life manual your life is like a roller coaster of emotion the powerful energy of emotion keeps you enslaved in failed relationships and unsatisfying work. The ups and downs you experience because of your lack of knowledge, create enormous stress and uncertainty for you and your family.
Find out how to stop your mind jumping from one thing to the next. You will be shown how to stop your mind from being constantly busy. This allows you order and harmony and you are able to share this with those around you.
I will show you how to achieve inner peace. I just can't imagine how you can function without these techniques, that's why I use them everyday. I don't know what I would do without them because they make life so much easier.
I know what I'm talking about…
I am a professional life coach. I help people all over the world change their life everyday. Not just on the internet, but in real life. I have clients that range from housewives to company directors of multi million dollar corporations.
With a background that includes training and psychology. I have worked with people all my life and I have experienced life across a huge spectrum.
I have been an employee and I have owned my own businesses. I have discovered the love experienced at the birth of my sons and I have experienced the fear of looking down the wrong end of the barrel of a gun.
Most importantly I have undertaken extensive and exhaustive esoteric training in order to understand these techniques. That's why I can show the techniques to others. I do this everyday, face to face with real people.
I Live the life that I teach!
I enjoy what I do everyday and I have the freedom to do what I want.I have a great family and plenty of time to spend with them. We live in beautiful surroundings and I travel to appointments in an exotic convertible sports car. I am healthy and enjoy what I eat everyday. I maintain a fitness standard comparable to a professional athlete of my age. Other than Coaching I have growing business interests in property and e-commerce.
I have everything I want and I get what ever else I require.This is now possible for you because of the Key To Life Manual.
This isn't some 'airy fairy' publication that is written by a so called 'guru' who has dropped out of life to live in a commune in the middle of nowhere.
This is a manual written by a professional Life Coach, someone who helps people everyday. I am true student of the esoteric path and I am an expert because I have applied these teachings to my own life. Not only do I know they work – I know the best and easiest methods to employ to make them work.
This isn't some tiny little piece of information like so many of the books found on the web. This is a bound, printed on paper, manual that you can read at your leisure on the couch, in the toilet or on the train coming home from work. (E-Book available now)
This manual contains Seventy seven thousand four hundred and seventy words in 264 pages that explain exactly how to apply the techniques to master life.
This manual completely explains the spiritual concepts that govern your world. Complex concepts like, the nature of time and energy are explained in an easy to understand way that enables you to integrate them into your life. Simple examples that show you exactly how to use all of the techniques.
You don't have take my word for it. Here's an unsolicited comment from Melissa who made an investment in the key To Life manual several weeks ago..
You're a remarkable resource, and ALWAYS helpful. Aymen, your coaching is provided as part of a special offer, and you should know that you've exceeded my expectations insofar as the time and advice I predicted I'd receive, and both are greatly appreciated.
When I asked Melissa if I could use her comment on my web site I received this reply..
Hi.. of course you can quote me.. Aymen, you earned the compliment.. if your advice just read well, and sounded good, well then hey, you'd be a good writer! Not only have you written this book well, in a way that is easily and comfortably understood, the learning's you pass on, really do work (as you guaranteed)..
Need more assurance? Then read more testimonials.
Now read on because there are so many more benefits.
Here's a little secret that I will share with you. You see there is a ton of self help and get rich information out there. Some of it's rubbish and some it works. When I say, 'some of it works' I mean the systems they are based on are sound.
The problem is that they don't show you how to get to the core issues. They don't show you how YOU can overcome what has stopped your progress in the first place. They all miss a very important fundamental piece of knowledge. How to find the root cause of your problem and how to destroy it!
That's why you can find their information on the shelf at any book store. It's good, but it doesn't go far enough. You need this very specialised knowledge to find the very thing that stops you from making progress. Later I will tell you about my search for this secret knowledge.
All of the techniques allow you to be the expert so that you don't have to rely on others. You know how to help yourself. You can use this to help your friends, family, work colleagues or employees. You can use it for whatever you want.
Let me tell you about 21 changes I personally have made with these techniques. This will show you what you can do.
With the 'Key To Life Manual' it's very simple, anyone can learn the techniques.
All you need is an open mind. Open enough to take a chance on the material contained in this Manual. These simple techniques have helped thousands of people to success and happiness. You just need to give yourself permission to go ahead.
You and everyone else are just acorns waiting to grow into oak trees. You are a diamond that needs polishing. All it takes are a few simple techniques that no one else will show you and you can take full advantage of all that life has to offer.
Eight more great ways you profit with the 'Key To Life'
However all you have to do is apply these simple techniques to your life to be able to have whatever you want.
These techniques, very few people know about. That's why I call them secret. They have been around for centuries and until recently they have been kept from the public by a select few spiritual teachers. Now they are are available but until I wrote the Key To Life this knowledge is fragmented and very hard to find. I should know..
I've done all the hard work for you!
Finding it has taken most of my life. Way too much time that I could have used to actually improve my life and get what I want, had someone shown me these techniques along time ago. I've done all the hard work for you in finding them, now you get to have them served up on a plate. Actually in an envelope delivered to your door. How easy is that!
Interestingly enough my search has taken me to some very exotic and then again some very mundane places. I have read ancient texts in public libraries and I have looked in obscure tombs in Egypt. I have studied rich people and I have observed the poor begging in the streets. I have consulted wise men and I have communicated with the spirit world.
I finally found the key in the most unusual place – I laughed as I put together everything I had collected and I turned the key to see if it worked.
Just in case you're thinking this is some obscure stuff that has no practical application – think again. This real world knowledge that you can use everyday for ordinary things. You can use this at home to enhance your family life or you can use this at work in your business.
One client used this information to save his marriage. He discovered what he was doing wrong and how to restore his relationship with his partner and his children.
Another client found that it enabled her to return to the country of her birth and commence a relationship with the man who is the real love of her life.
Then last friday a local lady who's 62 years of age rang me and said that she used it to become a better driver! – to conquer her fear of highway driving and speed.
There are so many ways to use this information. Just the other day I showed one of my business clients (he has a multi million dollar company) how to make an extra $500 000.00 (that's five hundred thousand dollars) in profit from stuff that he had overlooked because he didn't have this knowledge. Wow!!!
You can be self focused and chase material wealth or you can help other people with this knowledge. It doesn't matter, it's up to you.
For the first time all of this knowledge is in one place and easy to understand. In the past those that had access to this knowledge kept it from the public and were – and still are – able to control you by keeping these secrets from you. I believe that it is your fundamental right to have the opportunity to master your own life and control your destiny.
That's why I am going to give you the same secrets that I use everyday to completely revolutionize the lives of my clients.
The problem is that I charge my clients $242.00 per hour. There are not many people lucky enough to have this amount of energy to exchange. My clients are and they get a huge benefit BUT what about the rest of the world.
I'll write it all down and make a 'how to manual' – now of course this is not as good as having me turn up at your front door but you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars per hour either. In fact, so that everyone can benefit, I thought I would make the hurdle a very small one.
Now as of 2015 with the new kindle version available it's as close to free as possible!
It's so cheap my business clients laugh at me! More about that later.
Incredibly most people still don't realize how easy it is to get this information from me and how close at hand your opportunity to have an exciting future is. The low price means many people pass up the opportunity with the mistaken belief that it just can't be true.
However this is the only way that everyone at least has the opportunity to choose if they would like to benefit. So what's it worth to become powerful and control your destiny?
You can go to the local business centre and buy a 'how to manual' that explains 33 ways to improve your business, this will cost you $247.00 and 'Fowlers guide to native plants' costs $149.95. Obviously, a 'how to manual' for your life, is worth much more than improving a business or winning an award for your garden. In fact, what you get in this manual is what I touch on with my clients over the first twelve sessions. I charge them $2904.00 – You get to keep this information permanently, it's written down for you at a fraction of the cost. In fact one of my clients rang me and demanded to know why I am giving this away for so little. I told him you may need help and not be able to access my services in person, or you may not be able to afford my hourly rate. I only have a limited number of hours per week in which to help people. This way everyone can learn and benefit from these techniques.
1. Any special bonus to go with the Key To Life manual.
2. Any discount offer on the price of the Key To Life manual.The key To Life manual is incredibly cheap! In fact it's so cheap that I wish I had access to this 20 years ago. I've burnt hundreds of thousands of dollars in first acquiring this information and then secondly just in NOT knowing this information.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you this is a serious bargain and a very small cost in relation to the rest of your life. You spend hundreds of dollars on clothes, toiletries and accessories every year. You spend more than that in one evening on dinner with your friends and you certainly spend more than that servicing your car. This is less than it costs to see your hairdresser or go to a football final.
Let me tell you what circumstances prevent you from acting now.
That's why you need to keep reading. I've included something that will take your fear away. My friends said I'm crazy but I'm so sure that the Key To Life manual will help you that I had to include it. Listen closely..I'm so confident that the techniques in the Key To Life Manual work that I am going to do something outrageous just to prove it!
Try the techniques you find in this manual. If they don't work you get your money back! It's that simple. There is no risk to you at all.In fact I am so confident in these techniques that I am offering..
You have the rest of your life to see that these techniques change your life for the better. This is the best thing that has ever happened to you.
Don't seal your fate as thousands of others have done. Stop looking endlessly at useless impractical information that leads nowhere. Don't be one of the masses that gives up and resigns themselves to a life less than perfect.
Within the next 2 minutes you could start an avalanche of positive motion that will completely change your life for the better. Forever!

Soldering Practice Kits
The Basic DIY Kit | Solder/De-Solder Kits | SMD Kits
You only get better at something with practice. The unfortuanate thing with DIY electronics is that you do not want to be using the playing field as a practice field. There are several ways to practice soldering, but sometimes it is nice to have a kit from which to fine tune your skills--this is especially true with SMD's where some chips may cost as much at $50. Below are a couple of kits worth considering before you build that first amp, DAC, or effects pedal.
The Basic DIY "Kit"
Here's some tips on what you can do to teach yourself how to solder properly. Practice keeping your tip clean, using rosin, and tinning the tip.
Find a piece of wood and hammer in a bunch of nails outlining a square pattern. Then wrap wire around the nails to form a grid pattern. Here's a small example of what you want it to look like.
Tin the tip of your iron and place it where the wires cross to heat up the area to be soldered. It is very important to tin your iron before soldering. This improves the heat transfer from the iron to the joint to be soldered.
Now touch the solder to where the wires cross. This whole heating and soldering process should only take about a second.
The top 2 solder joints are examples of poor soldering. The ball of solder on the right is an example of a cold solder joint. This is because the wires weren't heated up enough to allow the solder to flow into the joint. The one on the left is another example of a cold joint that also had too much solder applied. The lower two solder joints are examples of good solder joints that were properly heated prior to applying the solder and with just the right amount of solder used to make the joint.
De-Soldering / Soldering "Rework" Training Kit
Here is a great kit for a low price
Unique, inexpensive method of teaching de-soldering and soldering. Kit is designed around an assembled, power controller interface circuit board that is fully populated with components like Hitachi quad comparators and quad op amps. Approximately 50 components and hardware items, all being DIP (through hole) style. Other semis include, but are not limited to an 8-bit PIC Micro-C and some IRLZ34 N-channel Enhancement Mode Logic Level TrenchMOS transistors. In addition, there are resistors, caps, some unique style red, green and even bi-polar LED's, switches, a buzzer, connectors, heatsink and more. Kit includes circuit board with case, instruction manual, de-soldering pump, 5 ft. desolder braid, soldering iron, 10 gm. solder, iron stand and sponge. After removing parts, "Re-Work" the board by soldering them back! Instruction manual includes technical tips on both de-soldering and soldering.
- Cost-effective method of teaching both de-soldering and soldering
- Work with an actual finished product (not a hobby) circuit board
- Beginner students can de-solder (and re-work) one section of the board at a time
- Tutorial manual with de-soldering and soldering tips
- Over 100 components on board, additional boards available
- Inherent components parts value

I'm working in Moodle 2.6 and using the Essential theme. I'm trying to change the color of all of the submit buttons (those in lessons, quizzes, etc) in the course I'm developing so that they are black with white writing. This is the CSS I am using, but they keep appearing as white buttons with black writing.
input[type="submitbuttin"] {background-color:#000000;
border: none;
color: white;
font-weight: normal;
text-transform: normal;}
I have trying playing around with this CSS in a variety of different ways, and the buttons keep appearing the same. What am I doing wrong?


text: Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Joshua P. Starr in October proposed changing school starting and ending times to give high school students more sleep. On Tuesday, Starr changed course, recommending that the county school board not take action on the proposal, citing a projected cost of more than $21 million and "mixed" reaction from the community. This is Starr's report and recommendation that he issued Tuesday, June 17.

HUDDERSFIELD University has become one of the first to admit it chooses students by lottery for one of its courses.
Random selection has been introduced in physiotherapy where up to 600 applicants chase 50 places a year.
University bosses said today it was the fairest way to pick candidates judged to be equally qualified.
Spokesman Phil Williams said: "We haven't been able to come up with a better method."
Admission tutors revealed they picked out students predicted to get the required three C grades at A-level.
Then they divided applications into three piles divided into mature students, men and women.
Applicants were then chosen at random from the piles to get the right balance between the groups.
Mr Williams said: "Physiotherapy is one of our most popular courses.
"But the number of places we are able to offer is capped by the NHS."
Interviews were not necessarily any fairer than random selection, said Mr Williams.
The admission by Huddersfield University came during a Government- sponsored inquiry into higher education.
An interim recommendation is that universities should try using US-style aptitude tests as well as A-levels to select students.
This would identify bright pupils who might not get good A-level results because of their poor schooling.

Don't regret your choice...your dress is beautiful!!! I went to 8 different places to try on dresses, and to be honest, it's not as fun as you would think. I got frustrated b/c I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So you must have just gotten luckily to find your dress early on.
I tried on a one shoulder Maggie Sottero dress...I believe it was $1,400 or maybe $1,800. It was definitely under $2,000.
Can't wait to wear this

A few studies have additional found the issue of humiliate revenue enhancement of colon, breast, and rectal cancers.Post ads:

Fantasy Fallout: Top 30 RB'sJuly 27, 2008
It's Fantasy Football time! I can smell it in the air, and I can practically taste it. As always, we're going to start off with the money player – the Runningback (RB). For those of you that are familiar with my time here at BR and how I conduct my picks, feel free to head on down to the rankings. As for the rest of you, I suggest you read the next few bullet points before jumping to any conclusions:
#1. I'm not going to mimic what all the magazines say. I write this piece every year because it represents what I think – not because it represents what everyone else thinks. That said, if you don't like what you see here, you're welcome to read something else.
#2. Don't forget to handcuff! For every Brian Westbrook on your team, you NEED to have a Correll Buckhalter. Don't put yourself into a bad waiver spot late in the season when a late pick can give you enough depth for the rough times.
#3. For all RB rankings, I am assuming that the following point system is in place:
20 yds rushing = 1 pt
20 yds receiving = 1 pt
1 Reception = .5 pts
Rushing touchdown = 6 pts
Receiving touchdown = 6 pts
Fumbles = -3
#4. I place high emphasis on PPR (Points Per Reception) RB choices. These are the guys that are going to give you consistent production every week. For those of you that think receptions for a RB mean less than a touchdown, consider this: 6 receptions for 60 yards is the equivalent of a touchdown. Certain players (Reggie Bush, LaDainian Tomlinson) can accumulate these numbers any given week, making trips to the end zone icing on the cake. Don't underestimate the power of the reception.
That said, on to the rankings. The top 30 relevant RB for 2008 are…
#1. LaDainian Tomlinson: This is a gimme. LT Is rock-solid every year, produces more passing touchdowns than most Bears quarterbacks, stays healthy, and destroys opposing defenses by air or ground. Better still, Michael Turner is in Atlanta, meaning that the garbage time may go to Tomlinson anyways (and San Diego's defense and quarterback ensure that there won't be many passing shootouts). Needless to say, he is the quintessential #1 pick.
#2. Joseph Addai: What? Not Adrian Peterson? Consider this: Addai shares time with no one, plays on one of the best offenses in football, and doesn't need speed to prove his value. He is, essentially, consistent brute force. He will get all red-zone carries (and there are plenty to go around, as Addai got a league-leading 20 goal-line carries), has no real competition (Kenton Keith fought the law…and the law won), and will be getting Marvin Harrison and Anthony Gonzalez back this year to take men out of the box. He scored more than Peterson last year, had twice as many receptions, and was banged up the whole time. Just imagine what a healthy season can do…
#3. Adrian Peterson: OK, now we can go on about Peterson. Adrian is what I like to call the "ruiner." Basically, his performance can make or break your fantasy team, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. He has unbelievable breakaway speed, good instincts, and no ceiling in sight. However, his problems are numerous: he gets hurt a lot (has missed time every year since 2005), he has Chester Taylor eating carries (especially on those important 3rd downs), and his quarterback is awful. That said, expect Peterson to provide you with many "explosive" games, but no promises when you'll need him the most. Watch out for the injury bug here, too, as anything that detracts from his speed kills his value.
#4. Brian Westbrook: Brian Westbrook IS the Eagles offense. He runs every down, catches every pass, and ultimately doubles his value as a player – even if his team is too shoddy to get into the red-zone. I have a soft spot for Westbrook – the man has unreal agility, field vision, and hands. Unfortunately, Brian Westbrook has a soft spot…or 10. Westbrook played his closest-to-healthy season in 2007 than I've seen in a long time. I can't say that he'll be that lucky again, but with last year's 90 receptions for 771 yards and 5 TD's, you essentially got a free Bobby Engram along with any rushing stats he racked up.
#5. Stephen Jackson: Jackson possesses pure talent. He can do everything Brian Westbrook does, but he has the power to match it. Why is he ranked lower? In addition to Jackson getting hit hard by the injury bug last year, the rest of his team is also prone. The loss of Isaac Bruce means that Torry Holt and his messed-up knee are the entire passing attack. Bulger and Orlando Pace can't seem to stay healthy either, allowing defenses to pack everyone into the box and make Jackson's life a living hell. If all the Rams stay healthy, look for Jackson to bounce up a few slots.
#6. Frank Gore: Gore is in a great spot right now. His team has improved tremendously (which, for San Francisco, doesn't mean much), and he has a great coach in Martz who will look to get him the ball more as a receiver. Gore carried the offense himself last year at great personal expense (read: injury), and looks to benefit from Martz in the 80-90-reception range. Toss in his versatility once he has the ball, and you might be looking at a great steal at pick #6.
#7. Ryan Grant: I find Ryan Grant terrifying as a guy with the 7th pick in his fantasy draft. On one hand, Grant was an absolute monster last season, besting all RB's in terms of production, explosiveness, and clutch ability. With a more conservative QB on an already strong offense, he should be getting even more attempts. On the flip side, who knows if Grant can reproduce last year's results? His stats scream Sophomore Slump, and losing Favre might affect how he is used in the game plan. Then again, how can you refuse the potential at this slot?
#8. Marshawn Lynch: Marshawn Lynch is turning into everything Willis McGahee was supposed to be in Buffalo: a bruising no-holds-barred punisher who pushes the ball downfield. Lynch was a model of consistency last year, pulling 70 yards and/or a score like clockwork. He led the NFL in carries last year (21.5 per game), fumbled only once, and if Trent Edwards can force opposing defenses to concentrate on Lee Evans, he's going to make you a happy camper. If Buffalo's passing game isn't working, or if Lynch has nagging problems from last year's injury, then you might want to plan accordingly.
#9. Marion Barber: I really REALLY don't like Marion Barber as an RB1, but his placement on the team dictates that he needs to be a top-10 pick. If Deion Sanders was "Prime Time," Barber is "Garbage Time." Julius Jones ran down the opposing team for the first half of the game, and then Barber would come in with the lead (and fresh legs) to pound on a weary defense. The results? Lots and lots of big scores in garbage time. Barber's running style of "I'm-going-to-go-out-of-my-way-to-hit-you" screams "INJURY RISK," and I worry that the younger Felix Jones may by the one getting those garbage time scores instead of Barber. Even so, if the Cowboys offense leans on him in the red-zone, he can produce with flying colors. Buyer Beware.
#10. Clinton Portis: Portis is healthier, stronger, and more focused than ever this year…which may not do him a lick of good if he can't fit into coach Zorn's new offense. Portis will be relying more on his hands (he did a fine job with 47 receptions in 2007), and more on QB Jason Campbell, who may or may not be up for the challenge. Because Ladell Betts always waits in the wings, taking Portis results in drafting Betts in the 6th round or so. If you're prepared to part with that pick, then vote Clinton in '08 (cheesy pun…sue me).
#11. Larry Johnson: Has it been so long that Johnson was once a top three pick? Doesn't anyone else remember when Johnson was a 3rd-round handcuff to Priest Holmes? Johnson is an absolute monster, pure and simple. His workload is obscene, and he handles it as best he can. The real issue for Johnson is the offensive line. If the Chiefs can muster some sort of protection on the line (or a legitimate passing attack), look for Johnson to be the best value sleeper this year.
#12. Willis McGahee: Every fantasy magazine in the country hates McGahee this year, and I don't know why. McGahee carried a pitiful Ravens offense last year with 4.1 yards per carry, and 43 receptions. Keep in mind, that was done with the mess of McNair (retired) and Kyle Boller (likely behind Flacco on the depth chart) at the helm, meaning that the Ravens rarely had the ball long enough to run it. McGahee has no competition (Ray Rice? Please), will benefit from better defense (more time with the lead to run the ball), and new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron should make him into a star.
#13. Lauerence Maroney: Sleeper Alert! Maroney was a bust last year, but it wasn't his fault. When you have the perfect gameplan of "air it out to Randy Moss," you really have no reason to try and run the ball. Likewise, when you love running up the score, running the ball takes away precious humiliation time. All of these factors spelled limited time for Maroney (along with that brief injury that allows Morris to get in the game), and killed his value. This year, the Pats will be passing less, and as a result, Maroney will be able to get enough carries to make his 4.5 ypc from 2007 mean something. Can you say sleeper?
#14. Brandon Jacobs: Jacobs' running style is very similar to Marion Barber's and that makes him an injury-risk in a less than ideal situation. The Giants like to run the ball, sure, but what about Jacobs' competition? Ahmad Bradhsaw and Derrick Ward look to cut into Jacobs' playing time, and handcuffing both of them will cost you in the draft. Let someone else take the risk on him.
#15. Maurice Jones-Drew: I don't see what everyone's obsession is with "The Little Bowling Ball That Could." Is he good? Sure. Is he explosive? Absolutely. Is he still behind Fred Taylor on the depth chart? You betcha. In 2007, weeks 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 14, 15, and 17 were nightmarish for Jones-Drew owners. MJD was limited to less than 15 carries in every week but one, and only topped 100 yards twice on the year. As long as Fragile Fred Taylor remains healthy, MJD has bust written all over him.
#16. Jamal Lewis: Personally, I didn't think Lewis had much left in the tank last year. Amazing what a change of scenery can do, as Lewis averaged 4.4 ypc in 2007. Granted, Lewis also benefited from Derek Anderson, Kellen Winslow, and Braylon Edwards tearing opponents apart. While I don't think the Browns offense will surprise nearly as many people this year, Lewis still has a chance to get some easy yardage…even if he can't catch the ball.
#17. Reggie Bush: Sleeper Alert! Reggie Bush is the Adrian Peterson of 2007 – he had all the right pieces in place for a bustout season, and did nothing (other than increase the value of Pierre Thomas). This season will likely be different, as Bush has rededicated himself and adopted a conditioning plan that has nothing to do with Kim Kardashian. Bush caught 70+ passes in what was a "down" year, so imagine what he could do on a good day.
#18. Selvin Young/Ryan Torian: As we all know, Shanahan loves to drive Fantasy Football planners to insanity. Odds are, he's going to pick one of these guys to be the starting runningback this year, and whichever one it is, he's going to get the job done. Young filled in impressively for Travis Henry, and Torian has all the tools he needs to get it done in Denver's rushing attack. Frankly, I'm surprised that no one is paying them much attention. You may be able to get the starter on the cheap.
#19. Rudi Johnson: 2007 was a bad year for Johnson, but you've got to have faith he can return to form once healthy. 2007 excluded, Johnson was a lock for 12 TDs in any given season. That's fantastic consistency and productivity. Johnson won't bust huge runs or catch many balls, but if he can be the guy in the red-zone, that's all you'll need. Watch out for Chris Perry and Kenny Watson, though!
#20. Earnest Graham: Once the Cadillac (Williams) broke down, it was all Graham. Earnest quietly had a very solid fantasy year (including 10 TDs) on a team not known for its running game. Assuming Graham retains the job (e.g., no Cedric Benson or Shaun Alexander signing), you can expect similar production over a whole season. Also, don't let the numbers fool you – although Graham had 49 receptions, 20 of them came in two games. Don't expect even receiving numbers – especially if Garcia goes down.
#21. Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams: Brown was the best back in football until he was hit with a season-ending injury. Losing Cam Cameron takes him out of the offense a bit, gutting the team during the offseason hurts more, and splitting time with Ricky Williams is the kiss of death. This is probably going to turn into a timeshare, and neither one of them is healthy enough (or wise enough) to trust for a full season. If you can get Brown late (and I mean 4th or 5th round late), go for it. Otherwise, let someone else take a chance here.
#22. Fred Taylor: Long story short, Fragile Fred has been, well, healthy for the last few years. Something's gotta give, otherwise we'll have to start calling him "Ferocious Fred", and I'm just not ready to do that. Taylor will probably get the bulk of the carries if healthy, but won't be a factor in the red-zone. He's really the handcuff to MJD – not the other way around.
#23. Darren McFadden: I can't really justify ranking him any lower based on sheer ability, but let's get a few things straight. First of all, McFadden is behind Justin Fargas and LaMont Jordan on the depth chart (although Jordan is expected to be moved). Secondly, this is OAKLAND. You know, the team that "means well" but can't muster a scoring drive? Unless McFadden emerges as the clear starter, look elsewhere.
#24. Michael Turner: Sleeper Alert! Turner lived in LaDainian's shadow in San Diego, and finally gets a chance to run the offense…with Jerious Norwood. I fully expect Turner to take the job from Norwood (much like Warrick Dunn before him), but Norwood may sap carries. Likewise, the Falcons offense is hardly intimidating, so his time on the field may be limited. If the Falcons can get it in gear, look for a nice RB2.
#25. Jonathan Stewart: I don't see what all the fuss is about here. Stewart will be behind DeAngelo Williams on the depth chart, and he's coming off of some nagging injuries that limited his ability to cut. Yes, the Panthers O-Line gets better with Otah, but with a likely timeshare (and growing pains) for Stewart, I can't see him going much higher than this. Expect MJD-type carries, at best.
#26. Julius Jones: Sleeper Alert! Jones has a lot of things going for him in Seattle. He gets rid of Marion Barber, he inherits an offense that is missing most of its receivers, and has a solid offensive line. Jones wasn't particularly bad last year – it's just that his numbers paled when compared to Barber's. Look for Jones to get some serious work in Seattle with only Maurice Morris as competition.
#27. Thomas Jones: Sleeper Alert! Thomas Jones had a rough year last year, but don't let that discourage you from looking into using him. Jones will be playing behind an improved offensive line (Faneca? Thank you!), and may be able to get some running room if the Jets can get a passing attack. If not, you can still probably get him late enough in the draft where it won't hurt you.
#28. LenDale White: I don't know why everyone is so sold on White being a solid RB2. White is slow, fat, and on an offensively inept team. While he has little or no competition (Chris Johnson may be a factor later on), he can't catch a pass and just underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. You can do better than this, especially if you intend to start one of these players. Pass.
#29. Matt Forte: OK, so I'm a little Chicago biased, but I'd like to see what a non-Benson can do in the Bears offense. They'll likely be very conservative, giving Forte plenty of chances. With Kevin Jones on the PUP list as well, Forte may even get so pass-catching in. All in all, I'm excited to see what he can do.
#30. Kevin Smith/Tatum Bell: Whoever wins here is going to be useful for receptions and goal-line efforts only. Detroit's porous offensive line isn't going to allow any big runs to happen, and their offense is so pass-happy that the winner of the job will be the better blocker, not the better runner. Look for Bell to start off in charge, and eventually give way to a timeshare with Smith.

A form style? WTF are you talking about?
Do me a favor and don't post in here again without reading all of the rules. Also, do me a favor and hop in the ring with Orr before running your mouth. Better yet, go enter a Sanda, Lei Tai, or Sanshou match before you continue trolling Tai chi.
Yes, there are a ton of shitty teachers in the CMA, but not all are and some do take their training seriously.
Your comment is not only old it is a dead horse. If you want to make that joke do it in YMAS because, there are plenty of thread in there to go "tee hee TKD, Tai Chi, and WC don't teach you how to fight."
Not in here.
Just to set the picture for the convo im not going to be here to have :(.
Education about effective styles is on the rise.
Martial Arts is bigger than ever before.
While some exceptional people excel in more traditional styles, BJJ, Kickboxing, MT, Judo, Wrestling are juggernaughts. Do you think in light of this, SOME TMA's should aim more for fitness, and lifestyle, than encouraging people to resort to them in combat.
Keep in mind, im not talking about your cousin billy who is totally awesome at the flying eagle style, im talking averages.
Let the lynching begin.

Foam enclosure behind open baffle
Has anyone tried to encase the bass driver on an open baffle speaker in studio type foam to increase low end a bit while still maintaining a "box free" bass sound?
For example mounting a baffle and a high qts driver to something like this: :)
I once did similar thing.
I used large felt pad covering whole rear side of OB. The intrinsic character of almost all sound-absorbing materials is low pass. So the rear radiation would be restricted in lower range, thus an asymmetry front to back response along the frequency. Yes the overall in room response would be bass heavy in tonal balance (if all other things being the same).
Once the FR is re-adjusted for reasonably flat for the listening position, then the asymmetry of front-rear responses would sound very different from a 'normal' OB -- to my ears, it's inferior.
It's not the 'box' sound of ordinary boxed speakers, but the changing polar responses from low to high would be a bad thing in overall presentation.
I guess the polar response (off axis behavior) contributes to the beloved OB sounds more than the resonance free (box-less) construction.
What I said above is for wide band OB speaker. If in multi-way modular type speakers, such device can be used to tune to fit specific design goal... (cardioid midrange, for example) If so, that'll be another story....
ps. oh, one last thing. So called "box free" is mainly affecting the midrange (or to midbass at max.). While bass to sub-bass is not a major concern, actually.
I liked it. But if you have the room to have the baffles 6' or greater from the front wall, I'd run without it.
But if you have an open backed box, definitely cover the side walls at least.
I think what you will get is something like what John K did with his cardoid woofers, or like Hartly did with their "boffle". I think you can achive favorable results, you just have to account for what's going on.
Thanks for the replies :)
The speaker will be a two-way with this woofer and this wideband, with the latter in a 350 hz JMLC front horn.
Will it be best to keep the back of both the woofer and wideband driver enclosed in foam or just the woofer I wonder?
Unfortunately I don't have the space for wide OB's placed far away from the walls.
With horn on the mid-high, it's worth trying cardioid in your bass section. Do it first, at least. Since it's already 'asymmetric' front/rear on your horn.

Police in Fife have recovered a large quantity of controlled drugs following a search of a property in Cupar as part of ongoing Operation Tusker.
Officers acting on intelligence searched a property on Pitscottie Road on Thursday, May 22, and discovered a significant cannabis cultivation valued at £65,000, along with equipment used in cannabis production.
A 51-year-old woman was arrested and charged, and a report is to be sent to the Procurator Fiscal in Cupar.
Further inquiries continue into the recovery of this large drugs haul and police are appealing for anyone who has any information that could assist with the investigation to come forward.
Police Scotland Sergeant Gary Combe said: "This is a significant find and a fantastic result serving as another example of Police Scotland's commitment to tackling any form of illicit drug trafficking.
"As a result of this intelligence-led operation, substantial quantities of harmful drugs have been removed from the streets of our local communities. Enquiries continue into this matter and it is requested that if anyone has any information regarding this drugs haul or any other suspicious drug related activities to contact Police Scotland.
"I hope this acts as a warning and deters others from engaging in drug trafficking offending and provides reassurance to our communities that we will act positively on information received regarding this type of criminality".
Police Scotland would like to thank the public for the information and assistance provided during this investigation and encourage members of the public to report any suspicious activity on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Statistics on Obesity, Physical Activity and Diet - England, 2014
Publication date: 09:30 February 26, 2014
The HSCIC will be changing future publication dates for the four compendia reports which cover smoking, alcohol, drugs and obesity. The new dates for these reports will be approximately:
Smoking - will move from end August to end May.
Alcohol - will move from end May to end June.
Drugs - will move from end November to end March.
Obesity - will stay at end Feb (but 3rd March for 2015).
One advantage of this change is that the Hospital Admissions data used in the Drugs compendia will now be able to use final data instead of provisional. A consequence is there will be no drugs compendia in 2015 with the next report being in March 2016. However, all the other data used in the report will be available from the sources where it is initially published.
If you have any concerns over these changes then please send an email by 27 February 2015 to firstname.lastname@example.com setting out your concerns.
This statistical report presents a range of information on obesity, physical activity and diet, drawn together from a variety of sources.
The topics covered include:
- Overweight and obesity prevalence among adults and children
- Physical activity levels among adults and children
- Trends in purchases and consumption of food and drink and energy intake
- Health outcomes of being overweight or obese.
This report contains seven chapters which consist of the following:
- Chapter 1: Introduction; this summarises government policies, targets and outcome indicators in this area, as well as providing sources of further information and links to relevant documents.
- Chapters 2 to 6 cover obesity, physical activity and diet and provides an overview of the key findings from these sources, whilst maintaining useful links to each section of these reports.
- Chapter 7: Health Outcomes; presents a range of information about the health outcomes of being obese or overweight which includes information on health risks, hospital admissions and prescription drugs used for treatment of obesity.
- Figures presented in this report have been obtained from a number of sources and presented in a user-friendly format. Some of the data contained in the chapter have been published previously by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC). Previously unpublished figures on obesity-related Finished Hospital Episodes and Finished Consultant Episodes for 2012-13 are presented using data from the HSCIC's Hospital Episode Statistics as well as data from the Prescribing Unit at the HSCIC on prescription items dispensed for treatment of obesity.
Key Facts
- The proportion of adults with a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) decreased between 1993 and 2012 from 41.0 per cent to 32.1 per cent among men and from 49.5 per cent to 40.6 per cent among women.
- There was a marked increase in the proportion of adults that were obese between 1993 and 2012 from 13.2 per cent to 24.4 per cent among men and from 16.4 per cent to 25.1 per cent among women.
- In 2012, 67 per cent of men and 55 per cent of women aged 16 and over met the new recommendations for aerobic activity. 26 per cent of women and 19 per cent of men were classed as inactive.
- While overall purchases of fruit and vegetables reduced between 2009 and 2012, consumers spent 8.3 per cent more on fresh and processed vegetables and 11.7 per cent more on fresh and processed fruit.
- In 2012-13, there were 10,957 Finished Admission Episodes (FAEs) in NHS hospitals with a primary diagnosis of obesity among people of all ages. This is 6.6 per cent less admissions than in 2011-12 (11,736), although this is almost nine times higher than 2002-03 (1,275). This is based on inpatient data only. Inconsistencies in recording practice vary over time between hospitals as to whether some episodes are recorded as outpatient or inpatient.

Even though there are paw prints on the front, the words are appropriate for any pet loss. Call me sentimental, but this card made my eyes tear up (in a good way).
I have never seen these in the store, so I bought several extra for future losses.

Pets are family and should be acknowledged in life and death. This Papyrus card expresses the words and scene of sympathy for the passing of a loved one. Papyrus is the only brand I buy.

We all appreciate how practicing the art of Bonsai has all kinds of stress relieving benefits and I have previously written posts about tree selection and bonsai tree care.
With that said, I thought it important to have a special review of the tool kits that are readily available because if you want to get into Bonsai in a meaningful way, you will need a proper Bonsai kit.
I've been doing some in-depth research and found three of the best value sets on the market. These will allow you to care for your Bonsai tree with the type of care it deserves. So let's get started.
Yescom 35 PCS Bonsai Kit
Suited to: Bonsai tree beginners and those on a medium budget.
This Bonsai kit features everything you could possibly need to properly take care of your Bonsai tree. The kit includes 35 different tools, including a variety of scissors, cutters and tweezers. This is the type of tool set used by master bonsai gardeners who know just what kind of quality is necessary.
The tools are presented in a convenient folding kit bag and the supplier also includes a can of oil.
Aside from the number of tools, what makes this Bonsai tree kit so appealing is the fact that these tools are made out of high quality carbon steel.
In other words, you won't have to worry about their durability even after extended periods of use. With that said, proper tool maintenance is always key, which is especially true with carbon steel.
Those who are just starting to get into the art of Bonsai will find this kit to be great value for the money. You get a great variety, which will definitely come in handy as you grow your Bonsai skills.
TianBonsai JTTK-05 Master's Grade Bonsai Kit
Suited to: Those who want top quality; more advanced artists.
This Bonsai set comes with fewer tools than the Yescom kit, however the quality is on a whole different level.
TianBonsai is a highly respected well-known name in the business.
Professionals and serious enthusiasts around the world have used their Bonsai supplies and equipment for many years.
The kit comes in a nice folding case that you open using a large zipper. Inside, each of the seven tools sits snugly in its own pocket and includes the following:
- Jin pliers,
- Trunk splitters,
- Branch cutters,
- Round edge cutters,
- Knob cutters,
- Tweezers, and
- A set of wire-cutters.
These beautiful tools are made using a combination of 3Cr13 and 5Cr15MoV stainless steels (if you're a tech-head!).
When you take them out of the case, you will find that each of the tools comes pre-oiled from the factory. Tolerances are very good, they hold their edge very well and they feel like the quality product that they are.
The overall design is pretty simple but highly functional. With long handles, you can easily work with this tool set even if you have a pair of thick gloves on. Overall, while this might be a more limited set, there is no doubt that the quality definitely makes up for it.
Due to the high quality of materials used, this kit offers great resistance to rust and requires minimal maintenance. As an added bonus and for peace of mind, this kit also comes with a 3-year Quality Assurance.
Any issues during this period, just contact the supplier for a free replacement.
Voilamart Bonsai 14 Piece Tool Kit
Suited to: Those starting out and on a limited budget.
Lastly we have a pretty affordable set which is perfect for those beginners on a limited budget.
The Voilamart Bonsai tool kit comes with everything you could need to get started. There are 14 different tools in this set presented in a convenient folding zipper case to store them after use.
In terms of build quality, you are looking at all carbon steel construction and pretty tight tolerances right out of the box. All of the scissors are relatively sharp, so you won't have to spend money sharpening them upon arrival.
Since the steel contains carbon, you will have to be extra careful when it comes to maintenance. Frequent use of oil is necessary. However it's not supplied with the kit, unfortunately, so bear this additional cost in mind.
When it comes to value for the money, this kit may simply be too good to ignore. The tools included might not be suitable for real enthusiasts and professionals who may attend to several Bonsai trees every day, but they are certainly adequate for beginners.
Advancing skills in the art of Bonsai takes time, so patience is a must.
The tools that I have reviewed above should ensure that you have everything you need to practice the art of Bonsai properly and efficiently from the outset.
I've included two great carbon sets, one for beginners and one for advanced users, as well as a professional grade stainless steel set.

Here's a word of advice, if you're ever in a car accident, seeking help by knocking on someone's door may not be in your best interests, especially if you're black. Back in September, Johnathan Ferrell, a former FAMU football player, was shot to death after seeking help for a car accident and now a similar incident seems to have happened in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.
According to The Detroit News, Renisha McBride, 19, died from a gun shot wound to the head after she was seeking help, following a car accident. McBride unfortunately picked the wrong door to knock on. The incident occurred Saturday at 2:30 a.m. McBride's aunt, Bernita Spinks, spoke to The Detroit News, and could not make sense of the murder of her niece.
"He shot her in the head … for what? For knocking on his door," said Spinks. "If he felt scared or threatened, he should have called 911."
"You see a young black lady on your porch and you shoot?" asked Spinks. "He killed my niece and he needs to pay for it. He needs to be in jail.
"There was no windows broken. My niece didn't bother anyone," said Spinks. "She went looking for help and now she's dead."
Limited details about the incident have been provided by the Dearborn Police Department. The name of the suspect has not been released. Originally McBride's family was told her body was found "dumped" but they've since recanted and now admit that she died on the suspect's porch.

Attracting More Eyes for Dance on Camera
Beyond the World of Niche Festivals, Platforms Work to Rescue Dance Films From the Wilderness of Obscurity
For many filmmakers, dance is a constant lure. Capturing rhythmic movement presents the double-sided challenge of doing justice to dance artists, and creating a wholly new work within a different medium. But an even tougher task emerges when a film is complete; after making the festival-circuit rounds, a movie about dance can disappear back into the can if it's not able to find more than a niche audience.
Broad-appeal film projects, such as documentaries, have the advantage of being able to make the transition to...

The Sweater Dress
With fall in full swing, and winter not far behind. A sweater dress is a must have in every lady wardrobe. Sweater dresses also called a jumper dress or knit dress is flatter on almost any body type. A sweater dress worn with a pair of textured tights, or over the knee socks is the trend to watch, and wear!
I think sweater dresses are appropriate for all occasions lazy days at home, running errands, to work, or even red carpet events. The secret is to accessorizing for at occasion, for the simplest sweater dress add a scarf with a bright color, or print detail to take away from the plainness.
Below are some sweater dress looks we love!

Shorts with Tights
Here below are some styling ideas to pass on that can help anyone work this look!
1. Keep it simple.
If you're worried about shorts-with-tights combo coming off to trending, you can't go wrong with classic tweed shorts and simple black tights. You can do this look anywhere from the office to the street. It's appropriate for almost any occasion if combined with the right jewelry, blouse, and a pair of booties.
2. Know your shape.
The best thing about shorts with tights is that it works for any body type. If you're on the curvy side, consider wearing loose, flowy shorts. If you have short legs, pick a pair with a three to five-inch inseam, then add heels to make your legs look endless. If you're tall but are worried your legs look too thin, try roll-up jean shorts to get maximum usage from your long legs and add an illusion of curviness.
3. The top.
Oversized sweaters has made its way back into fashion and they work really well with shorts and tights. Blazers also look great with this style, and a blazer is a simple way to dress up what might have otherwise been a casual outfit. For a edgy look wear a military style jacket and thigh-high tights.
Didn't someone say the first rule of fashion is that there are no rules?
There's no carbon copy way of pulling off this look. You know your body and at the end of the day you make the decision. Have fun!

Grunge Is Back.
The 90s-era trend that's rooted in Nirvana's punk vibe and brings flannel out of the woodwork's. At its infancy designer Jean Paul Gaultier described it as, "Nothing more than the way we dress when we have no money", but we all know grunge amounted to much more than that. It's a raw look that simultaneously took over the scene all while being anti-fashion. What goes around comes around, as they say, and a decade later…grunge is back.
What do you think? Is grunge a trend to try or one that you'll pass on this fall?
My vote: It's a do, if you do it right. I won't do the 90's fit denim and greasy hair, but there are definite ways to embrace the look.
Case in point: Grown Up Grunge.

Today, April 1st, is the beginning of Autism Awareness Month. It is also Landscape Architecture Month. And thirdly,it's also my third anniversary writing about the role of the built environment in the daily lives of autistic people.
A little bit about me: I am a Landscape Architect and the mother of a teenager who has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Since 2004, I've been researching how children act in different natural settings. In 2006, I entered the Doctoral Program in Environmental Psychology at City University of New York's Graduate Center, and have been researching the role of the Physical Environment in the daily lives of children and youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
This month, I'd like to share many of my findings with you.
Researchers usually start with reviewing all the literature on a subject that they can get their hands on. I'm no exception. I'll share what other people – many of them designers (architects, landscape architects, interior designers, software designers) – have written about and how we can build on this literature.
I'll also try to connect you with other people who are blogging about Autism this month as well. Please share your own findings as well! This is an opportunity to change the world – the built environment – to make it more accessible for all people!
And, yes, I'll share my work with you. I'm just scratching the surface, but I can say that, yes, the physical environment does affect how autistic people (and all people, for that matter) act and live.
This is not an April Fool's Joke! Stay tuned tomorrow for more …

Monday's Word of Mouth was extremely entertaining. I haven't heard that much whining in a long time. There was not one narrow-minded complaint that the strippers were here, just that the Empire ran the story. If you need the Empire to set your mood for Father's Day or to set an example for your kids, you've got way bigger problems my friend.
Shame on you Juneau women for exploiting poor young hunks. Women's lib has taken an ominous turn.
I think the Empire's choice of putting male strippers on the front page of the Sunday paper was absolutely fabulous. It's much more positive news than the more depressing news items that are circulating the world. To the people who were upset that it was Father's Day - get over it. It was lighthearted fun.
I'm so glad that all the Monday pent up frustrations are gone. Now, for the good news. The community raised enough money to help Mojo, the blind horse, through a bake sale this weekend. Juneau, you're wonderful.
My thanks to the Letter to the Editor that ran yesterday about the crew on the Columbia. My husband also works on the ferries and very few people realize the safety training necessary for all AMHS employees whether you work in the kitchen or on the bridge.
Recently, I've seen several charter boats throwing herring to eagles. I would hope that charter fisherman would be a little more sensitive to public opinion and stop this behavior. You are being watched.
I agree with the guy who called in and said save our salmon. Let's keep it in-state and eat it all ourself. We'd only have to eat around 2,500 fish - that works out to about 20 to 30 pounds a day. We can do it.
Judge Weeks - thank you for the fair shake you gave to a young Native man. Thank you for your fairness.
I'm a veteran of the United States, and the people and the government don't owe my anything.
I'm just one of the people happy to hear that Tom Garrett is moving on.
I've been in Juneau for a few months and I'm convinced of two things - people here are the worst drivers and the biggest bunch of whiners anywhere.

Federal agents search land linked to Hoffa case
Updated 7:30 am, Tuesday, June 18, 2013
OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Federal agents revived the hunt for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa on Monday, bringing excavation equipment to a field in suburban Detroit where a reputed Mafia captain says the Teamsters boss' body was buried.
Robert Foley, special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit division, said the agency and its partners had a search warrant allowing them to dig at the property in Oakland Township, about 25 miles north of Detroit.
Officials are "here to execute a search warrant, based on information that we have involving the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa," Foley said.
He said the warrant was sealed and details about what was sought would not be released.
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, who joined Foley at a news conference, said it was his "fondest hope" to bring closure for Hoffa's family and the community.
Hoffa, Teamsters president from 1957-71, was an acquaintance of mobsters and an adversary of federal officials. The day in 1975 when he disappeared from a Detroit-area restaurant, he was supposed to be meeting with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain.

She will tell you she fears me.
is nowhere close
to what she really feels
I have seen more
in her face
when she is unaware of me
than there ever was
when she was looking straight in to my eyes
She does not fear me
is a creature of habit
I'm afraid
I have become one of her favorite pastimes
And it is not out of arrogance
that I say
that she thinks of me
near constantly
I can see that she does
from her very movements
when she does not know I am there
A distracted smile
a wave of the hand
a wondering look at the phone in her apartment
a quick glance out of the window
"All of these"
I think,
and I cannot resist the smile breaking on my face
"Show just how...
she is"
With me
I wonder.
How will she react?
When I speak with her tomorrow,
I will be the soul of innocent intentions
She probably expects
Some major confrontation
most likely
if her expression now
is to be trusted
I take a sip of my coffee
disgusting stuff, really
and bid her farewell
and smile
as she catches herself before she waves back
Oh yes,
Tomorrow is going to be marvelous.

Amnesty bill protest in Thailand
Thousands of people marched in Thailand's capital in protest against an amnesty which could bring former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra back from exile.
More than 5,000 people blew whistles and temporarily halted traffic in Bangkok's financial district of Silom to protest the legislation, which has been approved by the lower house of parliament.
About 15,000 others joined a peaceful march by the opposition Democrat Party through another part of the city, police said. The party had staged a rally that drew thousands of supporters since Thursday.
The bill would grant amnesties to those involved in the sometimes violent political conflict that has sharply divided the country for almost a decade.
The Democrat Party says the legislation is intended to whitewash Thaksin's alleged crimes and allow his return.
March leader Suthep Thaugsuban, from the Democrat Party, said: "We will keep on fighting against the amnesty bill and pursue those who are corrupt to the fullest, until the bill is doomed and cancelled."
After being overthrown in a 2006 military coup, Thaksin fled into exile in 2008 to avoid serving a two-year prison sentence on a corruption conviction.

Medical cities: the next step for local healthcare industry
An increase in public-private partnerships (PPP) over the coming years will redefine the regional healthcare industry, says Sultan Batterjee CEO of IHCC.
Speaking to AMEinfo, Batterjee argues that, given the underdevelopment of social infrastructure across the GCC, governments and investors have the opportunity to initiate healthcare projects that can incorporate a wider range of services.
The International Hospital Construction Company (IHCC), the region's leading healthcare design and build company, specialises in hospitals, education facilities and wellness centres. Nonetheless, Batterjee believes that, due to the spillover effect, the next step would be moving towards medical cities that can become widespread across the region.
He explains: "You start with hospitals that quickly develop into all-round healthcare [institutions]. This includes medical towers, speciality centres etc. Then we move from healthcare to education, because they are linked. Education empowers healthcare and vice versa. This then leads us to wellness, because when patients come, they want the whole experience, which includes developing residential and medical tourism needs. Before you know it, we are looking at a fully functioning, independent medical city."
Concerning infrastructure in general, as AMEinfo reported last month, projects across the GCC have boomed throughout 2014, with countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain more than doubling their commitment to developing road, rail and social infrastructure networks.
Batterjee believes that social media will be a key driver in expanding infrastructure needs globally, as insights into how people are living is just a click away. "Living in a truly globalised world, young people are now pressuring their governments into meeting their everyday transport, healthcare and education expectations, which have sharply risen as a result of social networking," he concludes.

Roman Pavlyuchenko gave Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp a reminder of his capabilities by scoring one and setting up another in the 3-0 pre-season victory over Olympiacos.
With Peter Crouch's arrival, joining Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane as attacking options, Pavlyuchenko has been seen as the odd man out - but he took full advantage of his second-half appearance at White Hart Lane.
After finding the top corner for the first, the Russian crossed for Vedran Corluka to seal the friendly win, with Defoe adding a late third.
Redknapp handed Crouch and Sebastien Bassong their first appearances for the club after their summer moves from Portsmouth and Newcastle respectively.
"It was another step up and I was well pleased with how we played," said Redknapp.
"It was a good performance and result against a good side who had a big result in the Champions League (beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 on aggregate) last week.
"I was particularly pleased with how we moved the ball around, our movement and all the strikers are looking sharp, so that's ideal for us.
"We have four strikers and they are all top players. Jermain scored, Pav scored, Crouchy was terrific for us in the first half and we all know what Robbie's about."

What I want to do is have a player sprite be able to freely move around specifically on this platform in a top-down game. However, it would have no way of escaping the platform or moving off of it.
What I have so far is code that enables the sprite to be controlled via the 8-direction arrow keys as long as its on the platform. If it tries to move off, some other code is supposed to reverse its movement the moment the sprite isn't colliding with the platform.
However, I came across the problem of the sprite still slowly moving off of the platform anyway.
Can anyone give me some pointers?

There is a city that no longer remembers its name. It is
constantly be taken over by new powers and given a new name. Those who have
always lived there don't care anymore, they withstand each takeover by doing
nothing. The newest group to take over are the Doa. This story brings together
a boy from the Doa and an orphan girl Kai, from the nameless city. The have an
uneasy friendship and its about to be put to the test.
This was a fantastic
graphic novel! The artwork is wonderful and the story is top notch. I think
upper elementary and middle school students would like this book. The concept
is very interesting with a placid group of people who weather the takeovers and
endure. The unlikely friendship is always a popular theme as well. The
author/illustrator does a wonderful job capturing the emotions of the
characters and really bringing them to life. I couldn't put this book down.
