The human body contains about 70% water. A reduction in body water will cause a reduced efficiency in cellular function. Soccer players have been shown to lose 1-5% of body weight through sweating (up to 4.5 kg in hot humid conditions) which results in impaired performance. Controlled studies show that a reduction of one percent in body weight can result in a ten percent reduction in work capacity (although individuals do show differences in body mass loss as some may have a better thermoregulatory capacity). Furthermore, evidence shows that body mass loss will also cause mental functions to deteriorate perhaps resulting in players making mistakes. It is therefore important that any sweat loss is adequately and promptly replaced through fluid intake, whether this be through water or sports drinks. Figure 1 gives a general idea of how increased body water loss reduces performance capacity. Dehydration will have a more immediate effect when playing or training in hot humid environments. Fluid replacement is extremely important to ensure players do not become dehydrated and to prevent any risk of heat injury. Weighing players before and after performance may be useful to evaluate weight loss. Thirst is never an adequate indicator of the physiological state of dehydration. Players should always be encouraged to drink more than their thirst indicates. Thus, correct fluid intake practice is extremely important. Water has been shown not only to be useful in preventing dehydration. A scientific study demonstrated that it can actually help improve sprinting capacity in the second half of matches when compared to players who did not drink any water. Water is extremely useful in preventing dehydration, especially in hot conditions and is an excellent replacement fluid (In hot conditions, it is more important to rehydrate the player than to provide additional energy). For every 1 kg decrease in body weight - replace with 1 litre of fluid. A player's urine should be a diluted, pale colour. If it looks deep yellow, he should drink more. However, the consensus view is that a sports drink which contains an energy source in the form of carbohydrates along with electrolytes is more effective in maintaining performance. Drinking carbohydrate solutions and commercial sports drinks have been shown to aid rehydration and improve playing performance. Carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion may improve performance by slowing the onset of fatigue through the sparing of muscle glycogen utilisation by increasing blood glucose levels (the primary aim), promoting muscle glycogen resynthesis and increasing post-match recovery. This is especially useful if extra-time occurs and when regular matches limit the time available for fully restoring glycogen stores (can be up to to 20 hours). For example, players who consumed CHO solution before a match and at half-time covered greater distances in the second half than those who did not. The ideal sports drink should have 5 major qualities: 1 - Tastes
good When consuming CHO drinks, many factors need to be taken into account: type and concentration of CHO of used, when to drink and the weather conditions. Fluid absorption is influenced by the the quantity, temperature and sugar content of the fluid. For example, warmer drinks are absorbed slower than colder drinks but the latter may cause stomach discomfort. Gastric emptying is maximised when the amount of fluid in the stomach is high. The concentration of sugar is however, the most important constituent. The greater the concentration, the slower the rate it can be emptied from the stomach. However, so-called sugar polymers (e.g. maltodextrin) seem to be absorbed faster at a similar concentration compared to normal sugars. So how much CHO needs to be ingested ? Scientific studies have shown that to restore and maintain blood glucose levels in late exercise to delay fatigue by around 45 minutes, 60 grams of CHO per hour are needed. To consume 60g/h of CHO, it is possible in several ways: 300ml of
a 20% solution - too concentrated and reduces fluid uptake It seems that by drinking relatively large volumes of 5-15% CHO solutions, then the athletes can obtain both their CHO and fluid needs. Evidence shows that players who drank 500ml of a 7% glucose solution 15 mins before a game and at half-time had significantly less glycogen depletion. This might lead one to think that increasing the concentration would be better but as mentioned earlier emptying from the stomach will be slower. It is important to define these different concentrations: Hypotonic Drinks: Are weaker concentrations of sugar and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) per 100mls than the body's own fluids. May be absorbed faster than plain water and are useful in hot conditions. Isotonic Drinks: same concentration of sugar and electrolytes as the body's fluids per 100mls. May be absorbed as fast or faster than plain water. These drinks provide the ideal compromise between rehydration and refuelling and are useful most of the time. Hypertonic Drinks: contain higher concentrations of sugar and electrolytes per 100mls than the body's own fluids. Are absorbed more slowly than plain water. They are useful during ultra-endurance events and are generally not needed for soccer. Players regularly lose 2.5 litres of body fluid and can use between 21-90% of their muscle glycogen during a match and should therefore consume CHO drinks but at what intervals ? Firstly, on a hot day, the fluid CHO concentration should not be more than 5% and a larger amount of fluid is best consumed whereas on a cold wet day, one can increase the CHO concentration to around 10% but reduce the volume of fluid ingested. Alcohol and caffeine drinks (coffee and tea) should be avoided around competition. Pre-match: Firstly, it is important that players are well hydrated before a match and they may begin the process of toping up with fluid the day before. For example, an extra litre of fruit juice may be drunk the evening before. On match day, players should have plenty to drink and be encouraged to drink even when they are not thirsty. Ideally, a player should drink around 250- 500mls of fluid 2 hours before kick-off (such a practice should optimise hydration while allowing enough time for any excess fluid to be excreted as urine before the game starts), and 200 ml of a 3-10% concentrated solution immediately before the match. However, it is advisable that a player should not drink a concentrated sugar solution 1 hour before training or competition as this will stimulate insulin leading to a reduction in blood sugar and may lead to hypoglycaemia. It can also decrease the availability of body fat causing the player to rely on muscle glycogen and lead to a more rapid onset of fatigue due to an earlier loss of this latter energy source. During a match: Try to drink small amounts of fluid at regular intervals, say every 15 minutes (although this is not always possible) and always at half-time. Try 200 - 300 ml of a 3-10 % sugar concentration. This will replenish a significant amount of lost water and help satisfy the body's demand for sugar. Post-match: After exercise, the major considerations are to replenish CHO and fluid losses. The athlete should immediately drink adequate fluids to replace sweat losses during exercise. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as this may prevent rehydration. Drink at least 500mls of water or a can of an isotonic sports drink (helps refuelling and rehydration) immediately after the match and continue drinking at regular intervals, until you have matched your body weight losses through sweat. A player may want to try to make their own drinks as commercial products may be too expensive or not contain the right proportions of CHO. For example, a player who would like a 5% CHO concentration can add 50 grams of sugar to a litre of water along with flavouring such as lemon juice. Fizzy soda drinks are not recommended due to their high sugar content and the possibility of causing stomach discomfort. Never try new drinking strategies out on the day of a match. There are large inter-individual differences in the ability to tolerate drinks. Some players may not be able to benefit from drinking large amounts of fluids and will suffer from stomach discomfort. Only try out different drinking habits during training. There appears to be little physiologic need to replace electrolytes during a single exercise session of moderate duration (e.g., less than three to four hours), particularly if sodium was present in the previous meal. The need for supplementary electrolytes such as sodium/potassium or magnesium during match play is also debatable; after matches, a couple of well balanced meals will restore the post match levels. A commercial sports drink may also supply the required electrolytes. |

Lara, playing in the fifth Test against England in Antigua, surpassed the milestone of 365 held by Sir Gary Sobers, to claim what is arguably his sport's most revered record. Lara did it in style, powerfully hooking a Chris Lewis bouncer, but was eventally out a few minutes later for 375 having faced 538 balls and been at the crease for nearly 12 and a half hours.
Sobers, who took the record from Len Hutton against Pakistan in 1958, walked on to the pitch to congratulate 24- year-old Lara. 'I don't think a better person could have broken my record,' he said. 'To me, Brian is the only batsman today who plays the game the way it should be played.'.
Lara, who has played in only 16 Tests, said: 'Things are going to change but I mustn't get swollen-headed and will try to keep living a simple life.'

On average, listings lease in the $0's per square foot per year. The Madisonville region is going through a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate fell $20 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 3 listings have been made available, which means listings are probably leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 9,800 sqft, there are still 0 new availabilities below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this region were built in 2006 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Agriculture is the dominant industry in this area. Commute by car is the most popular way to get to work amongst Madisonville residents. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

As we all know, Superman returns to our screens this June courtesy of Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL. Details on the movie have been surprisingly sparse so far, with the trailers reportedly holding a lot back, which is a bit of a relief as they looked decidedly dreary it must be said. The folks at Entertainment Weekly have scored a few brand new shots from the film, which you can check out below, and also had an interesting chat with Warner Bros President Jeff Robinov about the possibility that MAN OF STEEL will set up the company's equivalent of their rivals' Marvel Cinematic Universe. (In short: yes!) Here's the pics...
"It's setting the tone for what the movies are going to be like going forward. In that, Man of Steel is definitely a first step," says Jeff Robinov. "[Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight movies] were deliberately and smartly positioned as a standalone. The world [the films] lived in was very isolated without any knowledge of other superheroes. What Zack and Chris have done with this film is allow you to really introduce other characters into the same world." So can we expect any DCU cameos? Spill it Jeff! "I would love to tell you yes or no but I think it's going to be more exciting for people to keep a beady eye out and find what they can find."
Interesting indeed! Our anticipation just jumped up a notch! Please don't screw this up Warner Bros. This might be your last chance at catching up with Marvel Studios…
MAN OF STEEL flies into our cinemas June 14th.

I don't see that language has much to do with proficiency in martial arts. I personally got annoyed when we got bogged down with pronunciation of words and so forth. I mean, it's just not that important where learning Martial Arts is considered.
I was there to learn to fight, I was not concerned with pronunciation. However, if I did pronounce these words regularly, and someone who speaks that **** corrected me, I'd probably listen. But, it's whatever, man. I mean, not everyone is going to learn Korean because they practice Korean Martial Arts. I think you're being slightly unfair.Originally Posted by Goju - joe

I never made any generalized statements about an entire nationality. I called certain segments of a nationality "assholes". Go up & re-read what I said.
You don't wanna have to speak a handful of Korean words?
Don't fucking learn a Korean art.
It's that simple.
You wanna continue sounding like an idiot?
Fine, just don't get all pissy when people who actually know something offer you a bit of knowledge.
It's not about being a know-it-all, it's about people justifying their ignorance.
That is Bullshido.

Spin it? Re-read what I said.
Did I say all Americans? No. It'd be kinda dumb for me to generalize against myself. I said Americans who exhibit certain behaviors or viewpoints are assholes. Thus, I made a statement against a specific segment of the population, not the entire population.
That's not spin, that's logic.
Do I need to diagram the sentence so you can undersand it?
How about instead of accusing people of what you think they're saying, you actually construct a valid counterargument.

At some point the words taekwondo, dojang, etc. became a part of the English language and then we do with them like we did with all the French, German, Greek and Latin words we added to our language.
I think correcting you instructor is rude even if his pronounciation is wrong. I hope he doesn't penalize you for having proper pronounciation.
My pet peeve is when people call every TMA karate.

I got bottle no 2 and I still love Park Avenue but I sneeze alot this time - allergy settles in sadly.
This one is a masterpiece. Discrete, elegant and classy. A superb spring-fragrance in fact and with the Chamomile and Mimosa- mix, I also notice the Rose/musk/ebonywood-note in background. Fresh and sparkling. Not heavy not skinclose. Park Avenue dances around you and tease you for many hours.
Hittat flaska nr 2 och jag bara älskar Park Avenue men nyser enormt av den - allergin växer tyvärr mot dofter.
Detta är en liten skatt. Diskret, elegant och klassisk. En superb vår-doft faktiskt med tydlig Kamomill/Mimosa-mix. Jag känner även Ros, musk, ebonywood-mixen i bakgrunden. Fräsch. Inte kraftig, inte heller hudnära. Park Avenue sveper runt dig och retas i många timmar.
Very fresh whiteflower'ish scent with some Musk and a hint of Vanilla. Gentle and chic. very womanish.
Väldigt fräsch vitblommig doft men lite Musk och en aning om Vanilj.Mjuk och chic. Otroligt kvinnlig.
To me this smells just like Bvlgari's Jasmine Voile. Very sensual. I think it would project awesome sillage on someone else but on me it turns to BO and gives me a nausea headache :(
Weird thing about this scent is it grows. When you spray it on, it's light, then it grows and grows on you. Great lasting power. I didn't expect that.
I would love to smell this on another woman, just not me.
This fragrance is similar to Johnson & Johnson's pink baby lotion and powder. It's very powdery, fresh and light. The notes that I can pick out on my skin are chamomile, mimosa and lemon. The mimosa makes Park Ave somewhat similar to Bond no 9 Fashion Ave which is much more green and wet than Park Ave. Overall, very easy to wear but so much so that it's almost boring. I can see this appealing to women who just want to smell nice, but not attract attention. For the price, I personally wouldn't want to just smell nice from this perfume, I would need to smell amazing. Not for me, but I don't dislike.
I like this one soo much. Absolutely wearable. On opening, there is the signature Bond "base," that fuzzy veil of lily-something-or-other. But it settles into a gentle but deep flower. Not quite discernable as a rose; more like a diluted tuberose mixed with a tulip. It is bright, but not CITRUS. Just light and lovely. Probably best worn in Spring and early Summer, but I'm wearing it today on a most chilly earthy autumn day, and it does not feel incredibly out of place or sickly sweet. It takes talent to show restraint. Well done.
Edit: This deepened over time to a gorgeous scent still discernable on waking the next day. Not at all floral, but a deep and projecting base. This is where Bonds show the quality others think they lack. Cheap frags fall apart that many hours later. This thing was still developing.
light flowers and poudre. For me very similar to Bvlgari Pour femme. :)
This was my introduction to Bond perfumes. And I found this to be a georgeous floral. I was even married in this at the request of my then fiancee. In my opinion this one can be worn year round. It is suitable for the office, for cocktaisl, an evening out, or your wedding!!! If you are looking for an all around beautiful scent look no further than park avenue!!
Park Avenue by Bond No. 9 opens with honey-chamomile and lemony notes. Moments later, it envelopes you in a warmth--like a comforting cup of Earl Grey tea. I noticed middle notes of bergamot and amber. Like its moniker implies, Park Avenue is refined and glamorous. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Park Avenue reminds me of a lighter, citrusy cousin to Creed's Royal Delight. Park Avenue is suitable to wear year-round.
This a is nice, light, lemony tea scent with slight floral notes. Very office appropriate. A great spring scent.
This is undoubtedly floral although it has a "tea" note which, for me, makes it more of a clean floral. Linear with low silage and average lasting power. Nice, pretty and appropriate for office wear.
A fresh linden perfume that's very, very similar to Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. Clean, fresh, very pretty. Lasting power doesn't come close to 5th Avenue.
Bond no 9 PARK AVENUE is a very likeable and feminine floral fragrance in the spirit of BULGARI POUR FEMME. I do not think that they are identical, but I must concede that they are more similar to one another than either is to anything else!
To my nose, PARK AVENUE has a slightly sweet opening with less overall emphasis on the rose: the iris and chamomile are just as important in this composition. PARK AVENUE also has lower longevity and sillage. Since BULGARI POUR FEMME already graces my collection, I won't be adding a FB of PARK AVENUE anytime soon, though I must say that I am enjoying my 7ml purse spray!
From my sample it starts out as a pleasant floral, but then, does not develop into anything more. To me, a perfume named Park Avenue, should be wealthy, with a crescendo of rich notes. This just doesn't do it.
Park Avenue is a lovely floral fragrance, it is elegant and very soothing. The lasting power is ok, but sillage is nearly zero! Yesterday I have noticed that Bvlgari pour Femme smells almost the same as Park Avenue but pour Femme is a little bit more sweet and spicy with slightly better sillage.
This Saturday morning, I blended Chez Bond (CB) with Park Avenue (PA). The chamomile from PA mixes beautifully with the tea accords from CB. The sparkling citrus notes from CB gives a nice lift to the paper white & vanilla notes in PA. This is a nice blend anyone can wear and great for warm weather.
This combination makes me feel like grabbing a champagne drink, sit in my garden and enjoy the sun.
This fragrance has three of my favorite notes: Iris, Chamomile and Rose. As a male, I enjoy trying to find a beautiful floral fragrance to add to my collection. There are days, I want to be floral.
Having put a small sample on the back of my hand and smelling the fragrance, I thought, this is perfect for my mother.
It is a soothing scent and elegant scent as Carla also stated.
As the sample began to mellow out on the back of my hand, the chamomile notes began to develop with hints of rose. The Iris notes (my ultimate favorite flower) disappeared or just went into hiding. For an Iris fragrance, I will stick to Infusion d'Iris by Prada (women's).
I am looking forward to sampling this again but will mix it up with Chez Bond to add citrus notes or another Bond fragrance.
This would be a nice scent for the office or a luncheon with the ladies.
A perfect scent reminiscent of the proverbial wealthy mature females and/or trust fund babies, in uptown NYC. This discreet, semi sweet bouquet of floral in the star shaped bottle is indicative of the upper eastside to a tee. This refined floral of iris and rose with the soothing tranquility of chamomile tea represents elegance in its finest form. It sends a message of old money meets new movers and shakers. The life of this scent is short and the underwhelming aroma lacks the 'oomph' I prefer in a perfume. To suit my perfume desires, I find that blending Park Avenue with some midtown energy from Bond's Saks For Her or Lexington Avenue will kick it up a couple of notches and add some youthful liveliness to it. With that in mind, it would perform to a higher level of greatness and be the star as the bottle implies. On it's own I would rate it a 2 out of 5. With custom blending a 3 nearing a 4.

Cloud may be driven by the IT department, but there's a good chance it's not. Even as of two years ago, surveys showed that as many as 61% of businesses were using "Shadow IT," the practice of non-IT departments signing up for and using cloud services without the IT department's approval or knowledge.
And when a cloud strategy isn't driven by IT, there can be challenges involved: a service level agreement that isn't in line with the requirements, or integration between platforms that won't easily connect.
In light of the risks of Shadow IT, here are three easy steps to establish a cloud strategy or assess your current strategy.

Your table may be different, but the goal here is to identify the components of your business operations that matter the most. Does your company take orders via phone versus the web? Or web versus phone? Adjust your ranking system accordingly.
Current Satisfaction
In-house staff ability (1-5)
In-house availability (1-5)
It's ok to be hard on yourself. If you have a mission-critical system, perhaps an ERP solution, the goal is to compare it to your current staff's ability and availability to maintain and support it. Perhaps they are quite well versed on your ERP system, but not staffed after 5 p.m. In that case you might rank them higher for "ability" and lower for "availability."
Many IT directors or staff will be inclined to keep simple systems close to the vest because outsourcing them used to be an embarrassment. For example, maintaining a "file server" is in some ways perceived as IT 101. However, just because you have an A+ player on your team that CAN maintain it, doesn't mean that you want to pay them to maintain it and keep up with file systems, permissions and anti-virus. If you put those in the cloud, then you have freed up many hours of a highly skilled person to focus on items that cannot be outsourced.
Similarly, with a larger department, you may have the ability to manage ALL of your core systems. But if you're working your team too hard, or they are spread too thin, they are potentially making mistakes or allowing the tyranny of the urgent to dictate the priority of the tasks. This is one reason why backups and disaster recovery items often get put on the backburner - they aren't necessary until, well, they are necessary. Then, it's too late. However, in today's age of 24x7 availability, outages and even the new plague of ransom-ware viruses can put your organization out of business without a tested backup and disaster recovery plan.
Planning a cloud or IT strategy isn't rocket science, but neither is it a piece of cake. The key is to take a step back from the day-to-day of the company and identify what allows your business to run better and what could cause it to fail. Let that understanding dictate your cloud strategy. The cloud isn't one-size-fits-all - not everything should be outsourced, and not everything should be kept-in house.
A solid strategy can help you roadmap pieces that are important to prioritize in the cloud and align your cloud choices accordingly. A highly-available public cloud platform such as AWS or Azure cloud may deliver maximum benefit and lower entry costs for some applications. For other applications, such as an ERP system with specialized security or industry compliance requirements, a managed virtual private cloud may be the best fit to offload tasks of your IT team as well as eliminate down-time risks.
At the end of the day, having an effective cloud strategy is actually a business play as well as a technical one. Don't be overwhelmed with the latest tech trends and cloud buzz. Choose the right cloud platforms to support your strategy, not dictate it.

Florida Panthers Win NHL Draft Lottery, Earn First Overall Pick
The Florida Panthers have been the Miami Heat of sucking for as long as most hockey fans can remember. But alas, it would seem that all that constant sucking has paid off, because the Panthers won the lottery and have earned the right to the first overall pick in the next NHL draft.
The Cats weren't even the favorites going into Tuesday night's NHL lottery. That dubious distinction was reserved for the equally horrid Buffalo Sabres. But the Panthers were handed the upset, and the hockey gods handed the franchise the chance to nab the best NHL prospect in June's draft.

The Panthers were the favorites to land the number-one overall pick in last year's lottery but ended up picking second, losing out for number one to the Colorado Avalanche. Florida took Aleksander Barkov with that pick.

This year, the Sabres entered the night with a 25 percent chance of landing the number-one spot, with the Cats coming in as the second favorite at 18 percent.
And, as luck would have it, the numbers fell Florida's way. The Panthers finished the season 29th in the NHL, with a 29-45-8 record for 66 points. Like we said, it was well-earned.
The Panthers' vice president of hockey operations, Travis Viola, sent out a statement immediately after his team won the right to the first overall pick.
"We are pleased to have won the No. 1 selection," the statement reads. "With the No. 1 pick, we will explore all of our team's options and make the best decision that adds to our young nucleus or talent that includes Aleksander Barkov, Nick Bjugstad, Erik Gudbranson and Jonathan Huberdeau."
The Cats need help in a lot of areas, but where they've most been lacking has been on the scoring end of things. With a dire need for a goal-scorer, the Panthers could be looking at someone like top prospect center Sam Bennet, who scored 36 goals and amassed 91 points last season with Kingston in the OHL.
Unless they trade the pick away -- which doesn't seem likely -- this will be second time the Panthers will draft first overall. The last time was in 1994, when they took defenseman Ed Jovanovski, who is currently the team's captain.
Overall, this will be the fourth time in five seasons that the Panthers will have a top-four draft pick. Hopefully Bennet -- or whomever they choose -- can start to lead them away from that trend.

Position: Catcher
Height: 6-2
Weight: 220
Born: 11/9/1988
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Acquired: 2011 MLB Draft, 10th Round
Ranking History: #59 (2011)
The Tigers selection of Casali in the 10th round continued a recent pipeline from Vanderbilt to the Tigers minor league system. The senior signed quickly, played ten games with Connecticut in 2011 and then moved on for 25 games with Low-A West Michigan down the stretch. All told, Casali hit .243 in his 35-game debut, walking 19 times and striking out just 14, while popping nine doubles and three home runs.
The Tigers returned Casali to West Michigan for the start of the 2012 season and he hit .288/.402/.500 in 48 games for the Whitecaps. He again walked more than he struck out while also ripping 12 doubles and eight home runs.
Around mid-season the Tigers moved Casali up a level to High-A Lakeland where he saw action in 46 games. He struggled with the promotion, hitting just .250 with far less power in the offensively difficult Florida State League, but he still maintained solid walk and strikeout rates, all while playing good defense.
Scouting Report
Casali is a defense-first backstop with arguably the best glove in the system. He has a stocky 6-foot-2 build that is strong and designed for durability behind the plate. He is not a strong athlete but he moves well enough to handle the position.
Casali has a lot of intangibles behind the plate, including his ability to frame pitches, command the game and get the most out of his pitching staff. He is a heady defender with quality catch-and-throw skills that should act as an additional coach on the field.
Casali has good feel for contact. He can get the barrel of the bat to the ball consistently and rarely strikes out. He likes to take a patient approach at the plate but his knowledge of the system can get the best of him as he lets borderline pitches go and works himself into poor hitter's counts at times. Against more advanced pitching, he could stand to be a little more aggressive early in the count, finding fastballs he can drive.
He doesn't have the best bat speed in the world but has enough to catch up to quality velocity. He will cheat a bit at times, trying to get into the zone early and really drive the ball, but that gets in trouble when pitchers go soft or try and spin against him.
Casali likes to pull the ball and needs to work on going the other way with pitches on the outer half. He is an intelligent hitter that has a chance to develop this ability with additional focus.
Casali has the defense, leadership and solid offensive approach to at least profile in a backup role. If he can develop a more aggressive approach against better pitchers, he could make hay as a second-division starter with some pop and good defense.
Performance Level Team AB AVG 2B HR RBI SO BB OBP% SLG% A
West Michigan
Health Record
Casali has a durable catcher's build but has battled some injuries throughout his career. He had some hamstring problems during his college career and his ulner collateral ligament required repair following the 2009 season.
It is easy to hold Casali's long-term projection in the backup range, particularly considering he is already 24-years old and has yet to experience Double-A. That said, he has moved quickly since signing and shows both the offensive and defensive aptitude to slightly outpace that projection. If he can handle the jump to Double-A in 2013, he could be on the radar as a possible platoon mate with Alex Avila in 2014 and could max out as a second-division type.

The arrival of the new BMW M4 Convertible (fuel consumption combined: 9.1–8.7 l/100 km [31–32.5 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 213–203 g/km) sees BMW M GmbH making another alluring addition to its legendary high-performance sports car line-up.
The new M4 Convertible replicates the performance figures of the new BMW M3 Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 8.8–8.3 l/100 km [32.1–34.0 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 204–194 g/km) and the new BMW M4 Coupe (fuel consumption combined: 8.8–8.3 l/100 km [32.1–34.0 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 204–194 g/km), but emphasises its stylish and distinctive appearance through its individual character and places the fascination of sporty and dynamic open-top driving at centre stage.
The new model finds BMW M GmbH drawing inspiration from a long tradition: BMW's high-performance sports car for track and road is entering its fifth generation in open-top form with this new chapter in its history headed "M4 Convertible".

Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart's Human bears an ironic title, given that the title cut that leads off the album sounds like the great rock rooster demoing a Christina Aguilera song. Robotic backing beats skitter underfoot while Stewart (whose vocals are produced separately on some songs) mechanically rattles off his lines. It would be surprising if he memorized enough of the shallow lyrics provided by an assembly line of songwriters-for-hire to take these songs on tour. As on 1995's A Spanner in the Works (an equally unfocused but surprisingly satisfying disc), Stewart parodies himself by including such ludicrous song titles as "Soul on Soul" (on Spanner it was "Muddy, Sam and Otis"), as though the inclusion of the S-word might lend some credibility. But the soul-free Human has a lot more in common with Martha Stewart than the Rod of old; this Stewart sounded more convincing on '80s dreck such as "Some Guys Have All the Luck."
Somewhere, there are real instruments on Human. Mark Knopfler is credited with a guitar solo on "If I Had You" that's more processed than Tang, and the string sections are purportedly real. Once, Stewart's voice counted as an instrument, full, smug and smoggy. But for this boring exercise, the singer barely seems in the foreground. Throat and marital problems apparently gave Stewart no impetus to redefine himself or rediscover his craft. It makes you wonder what he would have to suffer to emerge from his long artistic trough. Eric Clapton, dealt numerous blows and dealing in blow numerous times in his long career, at least has the genuine heartbreak of "Tears in Heaven" on his résumé to help balance a streak of clink-clanking computer-augmented discs. Stewart, on the other hand, uses bathos like a blow-dryer, combing each maudlin notion through his still-wiry Odo. His hair contains a lot more protein than these uniformly awful songs.
The closest thing to a good idea Stewart hits on Human is a cover of the Mavericks' "To Be With You" that apes the original's baritone guitar part and adds Atlantic City backing vocals at which Tom Jones would scoff. Stewart almost sounds committed to the song, but he can't bring himself to sing like someone addressing a real, well, human.

Defiance off to a great start:
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
just finished watching the UK Premiere of episode one and here is my review
The beginning was bleh
The middle was meh
The ending was YEAH
want a bit more indepth?
Defiance is generic and boring with a lot of the same cliched characters you see in all these "western" shows such as the ex-military bounty hunter who becomes the local sheriff, his young female companion (in this case his adoptive daughter), the brothel owner with the good heart, the ruthless eternally bickering businessmen whose children are reenacting Romeo and Juliet and one of whom has a wife that would put Lady Macbeth to shame and then their is the Mayor who does the best they can but they (and the majority of the townfolk) obviously have their doubts. Even the look of the buildings and the clothes they wear is all super generic "western"
I shall give it a few more episodes but to be honest this show is close to losing me already.
Still at least the game is still awesome so it isn't a total loss
Last edited by wolfsfang; April 16, 2013 at 07:01pm.
You definitely had a different view than me. I don't disagree that a lot of the characters are stock, but I think it's just to get you into the world quickly (which has quite a lot of backstory) and then they are going to start filling them in from there.
So far, it seems like the reception to the show has been pretty positive on the net, compared to the game. Although I like both. There is definite room for improvement, but I think they did a great job with Nolan and Irisa. Certain characters like Doc Yewll and the deputy already stand out as favorites. I enjoy the overall "fun" tone of the show compared to the super-bleakness of shows like The Walking Dead, though I like those shows too. I think overall it's just a lot of fun. If they can develop the characters more over the oncoming weeks I think it'll do very well. The R&J storyline was a let down (and I really don't care for the McCawley family as a whole yet), but I was entertained by the rest. I have to disagree about the look though. Do most westerns feature a town that's a melange of alien buildings, ramshackle cargo containers (and other found objects), and old Earth buildings? The only thing straight-up western are some of the wardrobe choices, though they are usually given a slight tweak... and that is sort of supposed to be part of the point. Everything else is post-apocalyptic or has some pretty alien touches.
An example, which is not even a cool shot of the car or the mechs or anything (because that wouldn't play fair):
Too western? The futuristic cut of the Mayor's dress? The bright purple of the building? The statue of the aliens? The aliens in the crowd? The transparent patterned buildings of the Castithan?
Again, another shot - just a typical interior in the Need Want.
Too western? The bright blue lights? The swirling patterns on the spice-red colored walls? The bright blue drinks? You can't see it, but the Castithan server has a shiny metal breastplate on.
Again, not to hammer it home, but I think design-wise there's a lot of cool little touches that make it anything but your typical western. Unless you're watching some westerns I don't know about.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
sure there are a few more straight edges and some extra colorful lights / drinks
But it still has a very very western vibe to it especially the Tony Curran character
still I am glad it is doing well and that you liked it, unfortunately you just can't count me amongst the fans as I really do not like western shows / movies at all. Games I can get some enjoyment out of (and may even like them) but never shows
I get that. I mean, it does have an overall western flair by design. I don't think the storylines will follow that pattern too strongly... but we'll see!
I'm not a huge western guy either, to be honest, but with the sci-fi stuff it's okay with me.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
Oh I am so hoping it will get better as I would love to see 99ers, Scrappers and Raiders as well as the awesome Hellbugs (especially the Monoliths). I even want to see at least one epic Arkfall event with a whole bunch of people from Defiance fighting off a bunch of Hellbugs
If they did that then I would instantly change my mind and love this show but going by the pilot I can't help but feel it is just so boringly and utterly generic
Promo for Episode #2:
Glad they are following up on the guy who ran away from the big fight in the pilot. I thought that moment was odd, not realizing it was a thread they'd pick up!
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
I liked it. Some parts were pretty corny and the makeup on the albino types with long hair was awful, but the casting people did a great job of casting ladies that aren't hard to look at and the story was decent.

My Sales Thread: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...-FT-WTB-Thread
i have never really known it to be all that buggy on the PS3
the launch patch was horrible, Lotsa bugged regarding Hellbug and instance on the PC and Xbox 360. luckily they manage to put a big patch to fix it all.
BUT, there's couple of stuff have been nerf, like Skitterlings now does damage to player like losing 1 and a half bar.
I very much enjoyed the second episode, "Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go." The pace might have felt a bit slow after the breathless introduction of everything in the pilot, but I thought that helped. With the characters introduced, we were able to focus on just a few this time.
One other note - definite improvements on the production standpoint. Alac's (and pretty much all the Castithan hair) looked much better, for one. And, weirdly, the town felt much more "real" to me this time. It seemed a bit more lived in than in the pilot.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
I agree with the "realistic" side of things. I think they limited more "fake panoramic" angled shots, and just did the more realistic, down to earth shots, and this helped with the flow of things.
over all, production, storytelling, acting, this thing is so much better than revolution, though i prefer a revolution style story more than the scifi aspect of this one, I will gladly be watching this one as long as its on. my wife watches it as well, and even pointed out that The girl with red hair, and the deputy could possibly be "love interests" but its not SHOVED down your throat like it is in the show revolution. its just very naturally written. I am interested in seeing more of the races, and explinations of what happened. great show.
Enjoyed Episode 3 - "The Devil In the Dark"
Sort of funny they actually used that title, considering what a famous episode of Star Trek it is. Their solution to the threat was less friendly than in that episode, though. The thing about this episode was that it has a lot of things that usually irritate me about sci-fi shows, but managed to not irritate me so much here.
Episode 4:
Thought episode 4 was great. I'm beginning to like all the characters more and more. The flashbacks to Kenya and Amanda's childhoold showed some budget strain, I thought. But nothing too bothersome. The rest was very well done. I really like how complex the relationships within the town are. It doesn't make it easy of anyone, which is great.
OH- and the show was renewed for Season 2!
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
You know I have only played the game once since this show started airing. It just sucked any desire I had to play it right out of me
Been playing it now and again. There's a new episode mission that ties in with last week's episode!
You ever try any further episodes? It's been getting better and better. The western trappings seem a bit less obvious. At least in the recent episodes.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
I haven't play the game like a month. Maybe I'll drop by later end of the month.
I have seen them all, well except this weeks but I have it recorded so I will watch it sooner or later.
Apart from finally seeing Hellbugs tho I still just don't like it. Even if it is getting away from the western stuff I simply do not care about the town or any of the people in it. They are just so boring.
My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
My Sales Thread: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...-FT-WTB-Thread
I am actually probably more of a fan of the show than the game right now, to be honest. It's cool we finally got some new episode missions. And i'm still enjoying it. But I don't find a lot to just make me come back again and again. I've not even played through the main story yet. But it's kind of fun just to hope back on a day or two a week, and do some missions and PvP.
I am getting slightly frustrated because it feels like I'm VERY weak right now. I think it's because I haven't progressed through the main story, but have a 626 EGO? I don't know. But I have one set-up with a BMG and a VOT Pulser that is really effective. But all my other load outs seem to get murdered easily. I think part of it might be my shield. I have a pretty powerful purple shield I got very early in the game, and have yet to run across anything better. But I'm going for security over refresh rate. Maybe I should try one of the green ones with a higher refresh but lower hit protection.
Episode 106 - Brothers in Arms
Lots of great stuff in this episode.
Sadly a break next week with Memorial Day, but maybe I can get some more time in the game that way.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's official state manual has been banished to the Internet for the past few years. But it could make a return to print.
The Legislature has sent the governor a bill that would let the secretary of state's office share the electronic publication with a nonprofit organization, which would then print it and distribute to the public.
Known as the "Blue Book," the Official Manual of the State of Missouri contains information about public officials, state agencies, local governments, elections, political parties and various other things.
It had been printed every two years until a 2010 law barred its continued paper publication. The intent was to save about $1.7 million in costs.
This year's legislation says the nonprofit organization could sell the manuals.

Disclosure: This review was made possible by iConnect and Luvs. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions stated are 100% mine.
A day in the life of a mom is very busy, especially if you have a baby. For most moms that means laundry, play dates, snack time, nap time, and more. Then there are the endless diaper changes. The last thing moms need is a leaky diaper. Luvs wants to make a busy mom's life a bit easier with help in keeping those leaks in the diaper where they belong and not all over clothes. The last thing we moms need is more laundry, especially at 2 AM! A dry baby is a happy baby so Luvs designed their diaper to be contoured to hug the baby for a great fit. These diapers are also made with super soft cottony material so they feel gentle on your baby's skin.
Did you know that Luvs are also great for nighttime too? Luvs features Nightlock Plus and super absorbent leakguards so your baby will maybe just sleep better. The large re-fastenable stretch tabs make diapering easy too so even dads can give the baby a secure diaper. I just love the Luvs Money Back Guarantee which means if you are not happy with these diapers they will refund your money. See www.luvsdiapers.com for details.
I have another great reason to love Luvs diapers! You can save $2.00 off a package of Luvs Ultra Leakguard diapers with this print-at-home coupon. So click on the below link and use it at any mass, discount, or grocery store where Luvs are sold. You even have 30 days from the date the coupon is printed to redeem it. I love that as we all know how hard it is for moms to get out the door. Better yet, leave the baby with dad and use the excuse of buying diapers to enjoy a much needed time out of the house.
Luvs diapers are available in sizes newborn through size 6 and can be found at mass, discount and grocery stores where baby care products are sold.

Free personalized radio that

Jules (born Jules O'Riordan), came from almost 15 years of spinning, punk rock infatuations, and KISS FM pirate radio host duties while oft-described "knob-twiddler" Paul Masterson came into the fold when Jules received early copies of Masterson's production work on Yomanda's massive "Synth & Strings" club favorite. With a quick addition of Jina on vocals -- and a name taken from Jules' own North London home -- Hi-Gate wasted no time to release their first series of well-liked singles in late 1999 and 2000. ~ Dean Carlson

Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development: January 8, 2013
BOSTON — Jan. 8, 2013 — While patent expirations on many top selling medicines is spurring the research-based drug industry to embrace new development paradigms to replenish sparse R&D pipelines, drug developers need to more fully identify and address root causes of R&D inefficiency, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development.
"Many companies are taking steps to improve clinical success rates and reduce the cost of new product development, including utilizing enhanced clinical trial designs, making greater use of biomarkers, and adopting sophisticated statistical analyses," said Tufts CSDD Director Kenneth I Kaitin. "Itâs a good start, but in a world shaped by increased patent expirations, diminished cash flow, and fewer promising breakthrough products, companies will need to hone their efforts to streamline development."

Is Weebly the right Website Builder for you?
Weebly is the most popular and in our opinion the best website builder available. It is extremely flexible and, and the fact it's absolutely free to use.
For those of you who don't know what Weebly is. it is a Website builder that uses a drag and drop concept. This makes it the perfect tool for creating eCommerce websites, Blogs, Portfolio Sites, e-zines and as it's free non-profit websites.
It is so easy to use, a complete novice in web design can build a site. You could have a website setup within a matter of minutes, and after a little more time spent you could have a well established website, that cost you absolutely nothing to set up.
Try Weebly Out NowWeebly creates an opportunity for mobile friendly website design, with a library of Free Weebly Templates along with the opportunity to install Custom Weebly Templates that will help you make your page look like a professionally designed website.
Here is what you need to know about why having an account with Weebly.com will allow you to start building a professional looking website instantly:
As Weebly is a drag and drop website Creator, you will see a list of Drag and Drop elements that you can drag into your page area to add Text, Images and widgets like Slideshows and Embedded YouTube Videos.
The use of Drag and Drop in Weebly takes away the need to know any HTML or CSS, so building a site that looks professional is easy and possible without paying a website designer hundreds of dollars.
With Weebly you are presented with a simple and intuitive website builder that is purely web based. The editor gives you a real time preview that shows you what your site will look like once published so you don't need to constantly publish and refresh.
You can drag in the Weebly Elements from the dashboard into your page and move them around wherever you want them to be. Whether you want things in two equal columns, or three columns, with the middle one being wider, you can. the layout of the page can be defined exactly as you want it.
Also, each page you create gives you the option to select some predefined layouts, which follow the common design trends.
When editing custom Modules like Forms, Maps, Embedded Video, Social icons, the Weebly dashboard pops up with the options inline, meaning you can configure each element there and then, allowing you to focus on the job in hand, and not have to jump to a different page to configure.
Earlier in this article we mentioned how flexible Weebly is as a platform. One of the key components of this flexibility is the ability to customize the default templates or even upload custom templates.
The Template, or Theme. is the framework of your Weebly Website. it is built using HTML, CSS and sometimes Javascript or JQuery (Don't worry if you don't know what that means, you don't need to). The Template, or Theme defines the style of your website, and the location of certain elements such as how the menu looks, where the logo is placed, what the different sections on the page look like, the background colors/images used on the site etc.
If you do know any HTML and CSS then you can quite easily customize your weebly template. If you don't know any HTML and CSS, then don't worry. you really don't need to.
There are also some great advanced features in the settings like Changing your Favicon and Copying your website (which is a feature even some of the most advanced Content Management Systems don't allow with ease). The ability to copy your website means you can play around without breaking your live website.
Weebly has a library of hundreds of Templates, or Themes that will give you a great head start on your website, they are well designed and fully transferable, which means if you don't like a design, you can easily swap to another one without breaking your website.
Some of the modern Template Designs provided by Weebly are now Responsive, meaning they look really good on Mobile Devices without you having to configure the "mobile" version of the template separately.
Now this is where things get serious! On top of using the Default Weebly templates that are available, there is the option to use a Custom Weebly Template. These can be Imported directly into Weebly. If you don't have the skills to design your own Weebly Template, Webfire Themes offers several beautifully designed, fully responsive Premium Weebly Themes that come packed full of Custom HTML Widgets and clear instructions that will help you design a truly professional looking website.
Check out our Templates
Not all of the Weebly templates (Free and Premium) are fully responsive. This is where another brilliant feature of Weebly comes in!
Weebly has a mobile display and builder where a "mobile" version of your Weebly website can be designed. This again, uses the Drag and Drop features available in the Weebly Dashboard, but specifically for mobile devices. It is the perfect way to cut out the non-essential data on your website to make things easier to read when viewing the website on a Mobile Device.
This isn't something you HAVE to do. Weebly automatically create a mobile version of your website, but you can tweak to your taste via the Mobile Builder.
Weebly offer a fantastic eCommerce platform which gives you the ability to sell your products without worrying about the technical setup. You can add the products with the same ease as building your website. The drag and drop features are available and in-line pop ups guiding you through product setup is there.
You even get to use the eCommerce features in the free Weebly package, and only need to upgrade to the paid version if you need to use more advanced features.
Weebly also offer some premium features that you can unlock with one of the paid subscriptions. These start at as cheap as $3 a month and allow you to do things like publish your website on your own domain, and use the premium slider, drag and drop footer.
Unlike most other companies that offer something for free but you have to pay to get the most out of the tool. Weebly is not the same. You can really get a lot out of the free version, and can build a fully functioning website without having to pay anything.
From the information above, I think you will agree that on paper Weebly is the most user friendly and functional Website builder available. If you haven't already, you should try it out and see that it really is the best.
It allows you to do some basic customization with no knowledge of CSS and HTML, and work right up to designing fully custom Website Templates if you do have the experience in CSS and HTML.
Weebly is flexible enough for you to buy and install Custom Weebly Templates which still allow you to use the main functionality of the Weebly Dashboard.
Although there are paid subscriptions on Weebly to use some of the "Extended" features, you can really do everything you could imagine on the Free Version.
Weebly allows for eCommerce Driven websites, Blogs, Portfolio Pages, business Pages.
You can embed code into the site via the drag and drop, which allows for things like Custom HTML widgets, embedded widgets such as a twitter feed and other third party sites that provide a code for embedding.
The Instructions provided by Weebly are easy to follow, and if you get stuck their support service is absolutely stellar. They really go the extra mile in helping you out.
There are even more features we haven't discussed in this review, such as the SEO settings you can set on each page, the ability to setup an advanced menu structure without any coding, the flexibility of the drag and drop Form widget and many other great settings that you can use to customize your websites functionality.
All in all, you will be hard pushed to find such a well maintained and flexible Website builder anywhere else.
Once you have had a go with Weebly and can see the potential of your website when using one of our custom Weebly Templates, you won't be tempted to pay a web designer lots of money to make your site ever again!

JANIE McCAULEY/AP Baseball Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Madison Bumgarner is quick to remind Brandon Belt who hit the first home run between them this year.
Yes, the pitcher won that one.
And it's Bumgarner taking the credit for getting Belt back on track, too.
All but gone are those constant "Baby Giraffe" references to Belt and his long neck that he dealt with all of last season as a rookie, when someone even sent a giraffe plant to the clubhouse as a gift. While he has never minded his nickname much, he is a lot happier now being known for something else.
At last, the talk has turned to Belt's long swing. He is emerging as a steady force in the lineup the way the San Francisco Giants had so hoped he would.

According to the NTSB, the Flight Options Beechjet 400A (N455CW) that experienced a dual flameout over the Gulf of Mexico on July 12 last year had a lower-than-normal amount of anti-icing additives in its tanks. Both Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D turbofans failed as the twinjet was descending through 39,000 feet about 100 miles off Florida's west coast. The crew was able to restart the right engine at 14,000 feet and land safely at Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport, Fla. Fuel samples were taken from both the Beechjet and the facility that had last refueled the airplane. While the density and specific gravity of the onboard fuel were normal, the Safety Board said, the test showed a reading of 0.023 parts per million of Prist anti-icing additives, far below the normal range of 0.10 to 0.15 parts per million. The NTSB said this low concentration of anti-icing additives raised the freezing point of any water in the fuel. Beechjet 400As are not equipped with fuel heaters. An NTSB factual report, scheduled to be released this month, is expected to include more details and the fuel-test
results from the fuel provider.

new shoes (again)!
This is random, but I appreciate that Zappos has a specific "vegetarian shoes" link over on the right-hand side of their main webpage.
6 comments:
- EatPeacePlease said...
Awesome shoes! I would get the same exact pair but in brown (my favorite color). These look awesome, something good with jeans or a bit dressier, huh? I have microfiber shoes and love them. I am going to investigate the site you recommend. Do the shoes run "true to size", whatever that means!? I think I like these now better than the first ones you had!
- EatPeacePlease said...
Ok, I just looked at the site and I take back what I said about me getting the brown ones. Even thought I LOVE brown, your black ones are the super-cutest. Great choice, and thanks for showing me a shoe website I've never seen before.
- Megan the Vegan said...
way cool
- Catherine said...
Leslie, Zappos rocks! They have free shipping on everything, and it's a cinch to return stuff, too. This has been my first experience with them, and they may have scored a customer for life!
I'd say the Earth shoes run slightly small and slightly narrow. I wear a 7 1/2 or an 8, depending on the shoe. With these, I DEFINITELY needed the 8, and they are still slightly "pinchy" across my toes. (I assume the fabric will stretch with a little time, and they will be fine.) I think they carry this style in red, too, which would be fun! And yes, these shoes do "go both ways" -- jeans and skirts, here we come! - 5/02/2006 7:24 PM
- EatPeacePlease said...
Good to know about the sizing. I am small, but for some reason (with my feet also being small), I have wide feet. Let me know if they never stretch at all. Good to know about the return policy too.
- Catherine said...
So far, they seem to be stretching just fine. The first time I wore them around the house, I had slightly red "pressure marks" on the sides of my feet. The second time I wore them around the house, no red marks.
I'm starting by wearing them with very thin socks, and then working up to fatter socks as they stretch a little more.
Something else I did, Leslie, was find a retailer that carried them and tried on different styles and sizes before deciding on a style and size I liked best. (I would have purchased these directly from the store, but they only had the non-vegan version -- Earth does make some of those, too.) - 5/03/2006 6:45 PM

The NFL's desire to prevent helmet-to-helmet hits seems to be having little effect on the number of devastating, concussion-inducing collisions wide receiver are seeing this season.
Defensive backs seem to have just adjusted their scopes, then gone back on their merry ways—inflicting pain. Take this hit from Indianapolis Colts corner Darius Butler on Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen Sunday.
Although Butler got flagged on the play, there was no helmet-to-helmet contact. And Thielen ended up in the league's concussion protocol anyway.
RELATED: Vikings fans prove their devotion by tailgating at 20 degrees below zero
The point being, Butler appeared to make every attempt at a clean hit here, and to not make any contact with Thielen's head. No matter, though. It didn't lessen the impact.

The world's worst airports
What's the worst airport in the world? According to a poll of 65,000 travellers, that dubious honour goes to Berlin Schönefeld. The German hub should be avoided, says the holiday website eDreams, after it scored a meagre 3.17 marks out of 5, on average, when rated by its customers. It pipped Luton to the unwanted accolade, while another Berlin hub - Tegel, New York's LaGuardia and JFK airports, and two Parisian airports - Charles De Gaulle and Orly - also featured in the roll of shame.
The world's worst airports, according to eDreams
- Berlin Schönefeld
- London Luton
- New York LaGuardia
- New York J. F. Kennedy
- Brussels South Charleroi
- Lima J. Chávez International
- Rome Ciampino International
- Berlin Tegel
- Paris Charles De Gaulle
- Paris Orly
What makes Schönefeld so unappealing? No quotes from travellers were offered to explain the low scores, but some calculated deductions can be made. Used almost exclusively by low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2.com, Germania, Wizz Air, WOW and Norwegian, Schönefeld has expanded rapidly in recent years, handling 11.6 million passengers last year - up from just 6.7 million in 2013 and 1.8 million in 2003. eDreams says airports were judged on categories such as waiting areas, shopping facilities and restaurants, so perhaps Schönefeld's offering has failed to keep pace with the sharp rise in passengers.
It is also due to close once Berlin Brandenburg Airport finally opens its doors (2018 or 2019) - so there's not much incentive for investment and improvements.
The website Sleeping in Airports sheds further light on Schönefeld's supposed failings. Its reviewers reported that "passengers were herded like cattle and kept standing in the boarding lounge while waiting to board their flight". It adds: "This is an old, small airport. Because it's due to close in a few years, the amenities are few and won't be improved - don't expect much. Consider yourself lucky if you find a vacant seat to sit in."
But is it really the worst in the world?
The eDreams survey only rated airports where its customers can fly to, while Sleeping in Airports features reviews of lesser-known terminals in the farthest reaches of the globe.
Its annual rankings claim Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport in Saudi Arabia is worst of all. And the verdict is scathing. "Virtually all aspects of the terminals need serious improvement," it says. "Cleanliness is but a mythical concept. The place is said to be staffed by a team of immigration officers described as 'careless', 'arrogant' and 'rude', and amenity-wise, the terminal is devoid of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. During peak hours - to say nothing of when the Hajj pilgrimage rolls around - the queues are unfathomable, and there are never enough chairs to accommodate."
Juba International Airport in South Sudan, Port Harcourt International in Nigeria, Tashkent International in Uzbekistan and Santorini Thira National complete its bottom five. Notably, London Luton is the only airport to feature in both lists.
The world's worst airports, according to Sleeping in Airports
- Jeddah King Abdulaziz International, Saudi Arabia
- Juba International, South Sudan
- Port Harcourt International, Nigeria
- Tashkent International, Uzbekistan
- Santorini Thira National, Greece
- Chania International, Greece
- Crete Heraklion International, Greece
- Caracas Simón Bolívar International, Venezuela
- London Luton
- Kathmandu Tribhuvan International, Nepal
Special mention too should be made for Paris Vatry Airport. Research by Telegraph Travel recently showed that it's the world's least convenient airport, situated as it is a staggering 212 km / 2 hours 9 mins by car from the city it purports to serve.
The world's most inconvenient airports
- Paris Vatry - 212km from Paris
- Frankfurt Hahn - 126km from Frankfurt
- Oslo-Torp - 118km from Oslo
- Munich West - 113km from Munich
- Stockholm Skavsta - 108km from Stockholm
- London Oxford - 100km from London
- Barcelona Girona - 98km from Barcelona
- Dusseldorf Weeze - 83km from Dusseldorf
- Lubeck-Hamburg - 78km from Hamburg
- London Southend - 68km from London
We've also got scant praise to offer Banjul Airport in The Gambia ("one dire cafe, one check-in gate, and a queue that stretched into the car park"), Lubeck ("the terminal was in what looked like a large shed, with a couple of makeshift tables for security"), Marrakesh ("grim - disorganised arrival and check-in process, abysmal food and drink options"), Jomo Kenyatta in Nairobi ("the 'come find your baggage in a heap outside' system is unsettling") and Zanzibar ("chaotic and disorganised considering it's a famous honeymoon destination").
And what of the world's best airports?
We've one word for you: Changi. The Singapore airport has taken the top gong at the last four World Airport Awards. See our gallery below for a full list of the finest.
