Planting Information
We suggest when planting your newly purchased Big Blue Liriope plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot. Adding compost or topsoil will help the young feeder roots to spread through the loose, nutrient rich soil, much easier than if you used solely the existing soil which more times than not will be hard and compacted. The most common cause of plant death after transplanting is planting the new plant to deep. That is why we do not recommend planting in a hole any deeper than the soil line of the plant in the pot. A good rule is that you should still be able to see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole. as always we recommend Bio-tone starter fertilizer when planting. It is a great starter fertilizer that provides plants with mycorrhizae fungus. It is a naturally occurring beneficial fungus that colonizes on the new growing roots of plants. It creates a barrier between the roots of the plant and fungus and pathogens that can cause root rot. We love this product and use it on all plants we install in our own gardens. Bio-tone is a gardener's best friend and can help guarantee your success.

Beware the Spreadsheet Junkie
Isn't it funny how some trivial incidents, from years gone by, can stick in your mind?
Even though it was 20-odd years ago, I'll never forget it – the day I stumbled on a workmate trying to use Microsoft Excel to write a letter.
After we'd had a good old laugh about it (me more than him), I questioned the reason for such madness. His a...

5.5: Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds
- Page ID
- 48592
Ionic compounds do not exist as molecules. In the solid state, ionic compounds are in crystal lattice containing many ions each of the cation and anion. An ionic formula, like \(\ce{NaCl}\), is an empirical formula. This formula merely indicates that sodium chloride is made of an equal number of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium sulfide, another ionic compound, has the formula \(\ce{Na_2S}\). This formula indicates that this compound is made up of twice as many sodium ions as sulfide ions. This section will teach you how to find the correct ratio of ions, so that you can write a correct formula.
If you know the name of a binary ionic compound, you can write its chemical formula. Start by writing the metal ion with its charge, followed by the nonmetal ion with its charge. Because the overall compound must be electrically neutral, decide how many of each ion is needed in order for the positive and negative charge to cancel each other out.
An alternative way to writing a correct formula for an ionic compound is to use the crisscross method. In this method, the numerical value of each of the ion charges is crossed over to become the subscript of the other ion. Signs of the charges are dropped.
Be aware that ionic compounds are empirical formulas and so must be written as the lowest ratio of the ions.
Polyatomic Ions
Some ions consist of groups of atoms bonded together and have an overall electric charge. Because these ions contain more than one atom, they are called polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions have characteristic formulas, names, and charges that should be memorized. For example, NO3− is the nitrate ion; it has one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms and an overall 1− charge. Table \(\PageIndex{1}\) lists the most common polyatomic ions.
|ammonium ion
|acetate ion
|C2H3O2− (also written CH3CO2−)
|carbonate ion
|chromate ion
|dichromate ion
|hydrogen carbonate ion (bicarbonate ion)
|cyanide ion
|hydroxide ion
|nitrate ion
|nitrite ion
|permanganate ion
|phosphate ion
|hydrogen phosphate ion
|dihydrogen phosphate ion
|sulfate ion
|hydrogen sulfate ion (bisulfate ion)
|sulfite ion
The rule for constructing formulas for ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions is the same as for formulas containing monatomic (single-atom) ions: the positive and negative charges must balance. If more than one of a particular polyatomic ion is needed to balance the charge, the entire formula for the polyatomic ion must be enclosed in parentheses, and the numerical subscript is placed outside the parentheses. This is to show that the subscript applies to the entire polyatomic ion. An example is Ba(NO3)2.
Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions
Writing a formula for ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions also involves the same steps as for a binary ionic compound. Write the symbol and charge of the cation followed by the symbol and charge of the anion.
Recognizing Ionic Compounds
There are two ways to recognize ionic compounds. First, compounds between metal and nonmetal elements are usually ionic. For example, CaBr2 contains a metallic element (calcium, a group 2 (or 2A) metal) and a nonmetallic element (bromine, a group 17 (or 7A) nonmetal). Therefore, it is most likely an ionic compound. (In fact, it is ionic.) In contrast, the compound NO2 contains two elements that are both nonmetals (nitrogen, from group 15 (or 5A), and oxygen, from group 16 (or 6A). It is not an ionic compound; it belongs to the category of covalent compounds discussed elsewhere. Also note that this combination of nitrogen and oxygen has no electric charge specified, so it is not the nitrite ion.
Second, if you recognize the formula of a polyatomic ion in a compound, the compound is ionic. For example, if you see the formula Ba(NO3)2, you may recognize the "NO3" part as the nitrate ion, NO3−. (Remember that the convention for writing formulas for ionic compounds is not to include the ionic charge.) This is a clue that the other part of the formula, Ba, is actually the Ba2+ ion, with the 2+ charge balancing the overall 2− charge from the two nitrate ions. Thus, this compound is also ionic.
Formulas for ionic compounds contain the symbols and number of each atom present in a compound in the lowest whole number ratio.

Vinyl is a beautiful, if inherently flawed medium. Who thought that it was a great idea to have a literal industrial diamond scraping plastic to recreate sound? We have lasers, touch screens, etc, but we still cling to a medium created in 1886.
Why? Without getting into a debate about sonics, for the DJ it is the most organic and utterly irreplaceable control medium. The feeling of being able to "grab" your sound, pulling back against a track that is fighting to move forward and manipulating it into something entirely new, nothing else can quite replace it… although many attempts have been made.
This NAMM had three different approaches as to how to modernize the art, embracing the lineage while moving toward the future. This is not a review of any of them, as two of them are not fully baked/released (so speaking about performance would be unfair), and one has not been in my hands long enough to judge beyond initial (positive) findings. It's more assorted musings to hopefully start a conversation.
Phase is interesting in that it is not a new idea, but the execution is such that it fixes many of the issues with units that came before. Obviously the Tascam TT-M1 comes to mind, but even the legendary RZA "DVS" had a play on this idea (albeit with a mechanical "plunger" that sat on the label). The beauty of this idea is that it allows one to retrofit their existing turntable. Instead of replacing the most important part of your rig, you get to keep the part that you hopefully like the most, while removing the most accident-prone piece of the system. The open nature of it as well lets you use whatever software you like, making for what is hopefully a seamless transition into the future.
The idea of using your own turntable for the best part (the platter) only is initially novel. As well, given the shoddy shape of many turntables at live venues, having something that takes out the main point of failure is a great concept in itself. There are some pieces that I have questions about however. This isn't me being negative, but just a skeptic (I say realist — Ed) in general.
1. Will you be able to purchase multiple transmitter units to work with your phase receiver?
One thing that scares the hell out of me is the idea that I forgot to charge my transmitter up, and if I set up my "phasebox3000™" with transmitters that are near death, the idea of unplugging so I can plug in my turntable leads and throw in some timecode vinyl is a nightmare scenario. If multiple transmitters were in my bag, this would be a non-issue, but that also adds to cost.
2. If timecode changes, what then?
A few years back, Traktor switched timecode, and we all had to buy the new hotness. It was an improvement, but it still irritated a lot of DJ's with spare Traktor vinyl. While Serato's vinyl is relatively solid, and has a small iteration (louder pressings to help out with degradation in a club), it is also rather low resolution compared to the completion. If Serato were knocked off the dominant position, could you add the new timecode to your "phasebox3000™"?
3. Will we have a version that sends MIDI?
Please, roll with me here. Given how unique vinyl is as a medium, wouldn't it be interesting to add a second set of messages? Wouldn't it be awesome to have timecode (with needle) and phase TOGETHER to do something unique with FX, pitch bends/FX changes that follow your scratching, etc? I know that this is only version one, but this strikes me as a "version 3 for me" kind of product.
4. As turntables leave clubs, what then?
Thinking of the venues my friends spin at, maybe 2 in 10 have turntables still in the booth. This is a lifeline for clubs to keep their turntables, around long after the wires in the tonearm go to hell, but it still requires the venue having turntables in the first place. Are you going to bring your own turntables? For that matter, will they even let you?
5. Needle dropping?
Without a tonearm or touch strip, you are limited in your ability to do needle drop cueing. How much of an issue will this be? I think I will miss it, but I also know how quickly I've adapted to losing pieces in my rig that I've considered necessary for years.
Again, its one of the coolest ideas in years, but ideas vs adoption are two different things. I want this to be a huge success, if only because I want to see what the future holds.
Rane TWELVE
Every few years, a product comes along that feels like both a new concept as well as an extreme nostalgia trip. inMusic (though Numark) basically created the concept of a record as a jogwheel. The CDX, the HDX, V7, NS7… (you forgot the very rare X2 — Ed). I can go on for a while, but point is that they have OWNED this space. While Denon made some attempts as well (predating Numark by a year or so), the strongest showings always came out of the inMusic umbrella. That said, adoption has always been VERY hit or miss.
(Just inserting this in here — while Rane has been beavering away and marketing the tonearmless TWELVE, they also asked portablist modder in chief Jesse Dean to make an add-on tonearm. Oh the irony — Ed)
Arguably the two most successful products were the NS7-series and the CDX, which filled two very solid niche's — mobiles who wanted to have a (slightly) more portable version of their home turntables, and CD jocks who wanted the best of vinyl while using their common at the time CD collection. Products like the HDX and V7 had adoption issues out of the gate, but I can't point to any one thing that made them take off less than the others. I'm waiting to see what happens with the TWELVE — it is, by far, the best iteration of the idea so far. I do have some questions though:
1. Size?
When you have clubs that say that DJ's can't bring in controllers, or for that matter a night where you have multiple DJ's performing through the night, what is to ensure that you will be able to bring in your beasts? They take the same space as a turntable, which means that you would also need to set them up where a turntable goes. If a club has turntables, how will they feel about swapping these in and out to make your set go well? Plugging in your own DVS box is already a pain in the butt, so how will a tonearm-less turntable go?
2. Serato?
Full stop, I am NOT not saying that Serato DJ isn't good. It's the top dog adoption wise, and it's a solid piece of software. However, rekordbox has shown us that your spot is dependent on so much more than just what is most popular for the masses. I've known plenty of DJ's who use Serato at home, only to use rekordbox in the club. Hell, I use Traktor at home but rekordbox when I spin out, and that is after using Serato in place of rekordbox for years. What works at home is not always what works in the club, and the TWELVE assumes that you will ONLY be using Serato DJ. Which brings me to…
3. Audio Outputs?
I get why it doesn't have an audio interface — Rane has the new hotness mixer. That said, Denon was the first company to create a device that spit out timecode for multiple pieces of software. What if I wanted to use my TWELVE with Traktor, etc? You could map it, but imagine if it had RCA outs and a bit of memory that could hold multiple timecode files. Suddenly it's the device that everyone wants for their choice of software. I'm not saying that they are wrong, but it does limit choice a bit.
4. Build quality as a negative?
I love gear that is built well. I also have a very bad back, and can't lift my turntables to gigs anymore. I'm not the only one. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish there was a bit less metal and a bit more plastic used.
The TWELVE is a product that we have been screaming for years about, but those screams have been answered multiple times, with varying degrees of success. Time will tell if this is the final answer, but without seeing sales velocity it remains a question for the time being. To all the DJs who have been screaming about wanting exactly this product for years, if you want more products like this in the future the power is in your hands — and wallets.
Ortofon Concorde MKII
I'm including these in the piece because it is not trying to change the turntable, but make it better. Ortofon had a great T-shirt this year, saying "Vinyl is the new digital", and that informs their design choices this time around, engineering for the modern DJ. The fact is that DJ needles have always been, at best, choices offered that were originally made for radio, club, home hi-fi etc, but not made for scratching or modern club sound systems.
The suspension and output have been tweaked to make them better suited for changing demands, but it is still legacy engineering. It's like putting an electric motor into a 1968 Chevy Nova SS-sure, it goes fast and is pretty darn cool to drive, but you are still dealing with today's tech strapped into a 48-year-old design, flaws and all. For the new series, save for the basic look, these are actually engineered for modern DJs. By starting from scratch internally, they could think about how to make something that was rugged and skip-proof (the two often don't go hand in hand, oddly enough), and could make a platform that sonically matches what modern DJs want. The questions that I have are:
1. Adoption?
When you have DJ's who have used Shure needles for years, those models being made originally for Jukeboxes and Radio (and themselves also being considered low-end needles until DJ's adopted them), and other DJs who have used Ortofon V1 needles for their entire career, how easy will it be to get people to switch? I'm going to because its cool to me that there is actually some new thought being put into an ancient dark art like needle making, but will other DJs agree? Will they stick with their V1s as Styli will be available for many years to come?
DJ's are creatures of habit, and one of those habits are using headshells. With the new series, they have gotten rid of the OM line-this is headshell mount or bust. How are DJ's going to feel?
3. Messaging?
I'm lucky — I sat down for an extended period with people from Ortofon US, as well as from the head office in Denmark. Can I convey the info that I heard in a tagline? It's also somewhat like trying to explain why esoteric organic ingredients are better and more expensive… some people still want Velveta cheese. How do you get people to care when so much of the vinyl they play just comes with a 1-2k tone and no music?
4. Colors?
Vapid, I know. Speaking to a few folks, I found that the color scheme was a bit polarizing. I love the look, as they remind me of some Nike Dunks. Others seemed to gravitate to the more muted tones of some of the current models. Will there be other colors available? If so, will it cause confusion, as they just made their lineup the cleanest it has been in years?
I'm a creature of habit, so I'm oddly the most excited about what is the most nostalgic of the releases spoken about here. I'm curious as to how nostalgic the rest of the market is though.
This year is going to be interesting, as we have three different views of how the past informs the future of an art form. I want them all to be successful, as this can only bring good to the industry. I fear though that it may be a Highlander-style situation. Can there only be one? What of these looks like the future to you?

Quotes from the cutting room floor
Each week as I prepare for the sermon I have a number of quotes that I have read that were personally edifying but didn't fit into my manuscript. It is my goal each week to post some of these quotes on Friday for your encouragement.
"God knows that, as we are prone to sin, so, when conscience is thoroughly awakened, we are a prone to despair for sin; and therefore he would have us know, that he sets himself in the covenant of grace to triumph in Christ over the greatest evils and enemies we fear, and that his thoughts are not as our thoughts are. That he is God and not man (Hosea 11:9) that there are heights and depths and breadths of mercy in him above all the depths of our sin and misery (Eph 3:18) that we should never be in such a forlorn condition wherein there should be ground for despair, considering our sins be the sins of men, his mercy the mercy of an infinite God." (Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed, p.39 Works of Richard Sibbes, vol 1)
"How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? The rule for doing this is simple but demanding. It is that we turn each Truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God." J.I. Packer, Knowing God

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-VA, sent a memo to congressional Republicans yesterday urging them to ignore the S&P's finding that the GOP resistance to any form of tax increase was partly responsible for the credit rating downgrade. From The National Journal:
S&P didn't base its downgrade on a change in the U.S. fiscal and economic outlook. It based it on the political game of chicken over the debt ceiling, a game that Republicans initiated and pushed to the limit, and on a growing gloom about the partisan deadlock. Part of S&P's gloom, moreover, stemmed explicitly from what a new assessment of the GOP's ability to block any and all tax increases.
Over the next several months, there will be tremendous pressure on Congress to prove that S&P's analysis of the inability of the political parties to bridge our differences is wrong. In short, there will be pressure to compromise on tax increases. We will be told that there is no other way forward. I respectfully disagree.
As we have said from the beginning of the year, the new Republican Majority was elected to change the way Washington does business. We were not elected to raise taxes or take more money out of the pockets of hard working families and business people. People understand Washington can't keep spending money that it doesn't have. They want to see less government — not more taxes.
A recent round of polling by CBS found that fully two-thirds of the country believes tax increases and the closing of tax loopholes should be a part of budget negotiations.

Our fellow Americans: As we're reminded every four years, democracy is the cornerstone upon which our great land is built. That's why this year, for the first time in Hot 100 history, we let you, the readers of Maxim, weigh in on who should comprise the definitive list of the world's most beautiful women. From movie stars to murder suspects to a cartoon, here are the sexy results. God bless America! Check out Maxim's Hot 100 in Under 100 Seconds
It was decreed that in the year 2012 there would be an election of tremendous wonder and import, celebrating all that is good and beautiful in the world. Millions of votes were cast by you, the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Maxim, and when the polls were closed, a victor was crowned. She puts the "promise" in Promised Land-all hail your No. 1 for 2012, Bar Refaeli! "I am shocked that among all these beautiful ladies, I'm No. 1," Bar says of her incumbency. "Thank you so much for voting for me! I'm truly honored. This is a title I will never forget." So God bless America, God bless the Maxim man, and God bless Israel for being the fertile soil from which such hotness grows. Keep your eyes peeled for Bar's upcoming cover shoot-it'll be one no man on Earth will ever forget!
2. Olivia Munn
This two-time Maxim cover girl sports a resume that includes senior Asian correspondent for The Daily Show and a body that makes grown men weep. What's the geek goddess up to this summer? An HBO show (Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom), ad movie (Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike), and hopefully, an appearance in our living room: We're stuck on the Rainbow Road level of Super Mario Kart, and she's a self-described video-game junke.
3. Mila Kunis
Ever since she locked lips with Natalie Portman in Black Swan, our appreciation for this brunette stunner has transformed into a near obsession. Not the kind where we lurk outside her house with binoculars, but the kind where we wake up every morning thrilled that it's one day closer to the premiere of her new comedy, Ted (it's almost here!).
4. Katy Perry
Pop music's baddest good girl has been pretty damn busy the past two years, what with seven different number one singles and the top spot on 2010's Hot 100. And now that she's single, she's obviously been busy trying to work up the courage to ask us on a date. Just call us, Katy-no biggie.
5. Olivia Wilde
Our favorite former TV doctor from House M.D. and 2009 Hot 100 champ has come a long way from kissing girls on The O.C. (though we wouldn't mind her going back). She's now a full-blown movie star thanks to Tron and Cowboys & Aliens-and looks amazing thanks to bikini and beach.
6. Jennifer Lawrence
After being in a movie about a beaver and next to naked for the majority of X-Men: First Class, this 21-year-old Hunger Games star has her sights set on world domination. Let us all raise a glass in "tribute" (get it?) to the next generation of hotness
7. Emma Stone
A super-beautiful Hollywood starlet with actual acting chops? A natural blonde who dyes her hair red? Emma Stone is just one hot mass of contradictions, and we love every one of them. We also love that she's going to be in a Spider-Man movie, which is why we're writing this in our Green Goblin Underoos.
8. Megan Fox
Like some kind of shape-shifting car, Megan has transformed from action goddess to comedy cutie. Catch her next in Judd Apatow's This Is 40.
9. Malin Akerman
Whether this stunning Swede is making us laugh (Wanderlust), sing (Rock of Ages), or turn into giant blue godlike beings (Watchmen), Malin has a way of making us do her bidding (including setting up dates with men in gorilla costumes).
10. Adrianne Palicki
With roles in Friday Night Lights and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Adrianne is the trifecta of perfection: sexiness, football, and huge explosions. See her cover shoot for our June issue for more evidence of said perfection.
11. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
This Victoria's Secret model, Transformers: Dark of the Moon star, and defending Hot 100 champ is the best thing to happen to movies since corn in popped form.
12. Kate Beckinsale
In the upcoming Total Recall reboot, Kate beats up Colin Farrell with her crotch. That's a fight we wouldn't mind losing.
13. Blake Lively
Accepted. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The Town. Gossip Girl. After seven years Blake still can't decide: star in projects we love or projects we secretly love?
14. Lea Michele
Gaze upon the owner of Glee's sexiest pair of vocal cords. Now stop. You're starting to drool.
15. Kristen Stewart
The pain of watching Twilight was a little easier to bear with Kristen in the starring role. We're just a little bit too excited by the thought of her battling Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman.
16. Charlize Theron
When a woman is this mind-bogglingly beautiful, we're more than willing to overlook the fact that she's eerily good at playing a serial killer, an assassin, and now an evil queen in this month's Snow White and the Huntsman.
17. Scarlett Johansson
A perpetual bombshell, Scarlett knocked us out when she reprised her role as Black Widow in The Avengers. Hulk feel funny when Hulk look at her!
18. Katrina Bowden
Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey, and Alec Baldwin are all fine, but the real reason we watch 30 Rock is Katrina, who plays the adorably ditzy assistant Cerie. We hope our hearts can handle seeing her perfect booty in all dimensions in Piranha 3DD.
19. Victoria Justice
We had no idea our readers were such Nickelodeon fans, but this 19-year-old Victorious star scored crazy amounts of votes. She sings, she acts, and she totally knows SpongeBob.
20. Jennifer Love Hewitt
21. Emma Watson
The hottest wizard has moved from Hogwarts to the Ivy League. The Brown-educated Brit is a girl we can bring home to Mom. Or as she'd say, "Mum." And as she'd also say: "Stop following me or I'll Tase you, bro."
22. Kaley Cuoco
Why is The Big Bang Theory, a sitcom about science nerds, such a hit? We suspect Maxim cover girl Kaley Cuoco, who plays their neighbor, might have something to do with it. That and all the e=mc2 jokes.
23. Anne Hathaway
Oscar-nominated Anne has the acting chops to match her sultry looks. Up next? A turn as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. One look at her and it's "Holy I just instantly went through puberty, Batman!" for Robin.
24. Selena Gomez
We're not the only ones who sit around pretending Selena is our girlfriend and not Justin Bieber's-right?
25. Jessica Gomes
If you were to construct the perfect swimsuit model in a lab, chances are you'd end up with Maxim cover girl Jessica Gomes: beautiful, exotic, and hotter than the surface of the sun. (Honestly, we measured.)
26. Taylor Swift
Unfortunately, we don't have much room to write about how much we love Taylor, as all the space has been taken up by the extra security we hired to stop Kanye from interrupting.
27. Naya Rivera
Watching Naya in action made us actually consider joining a glee club. Then we punched ourselves repeatedly in the face and went back to wallpapering our room with screen grabs of her in her cheerleader outfit.
28. Jessica Biel
Jessica has gone from innocent daughter of a preacher man (7th Heaven) to full-on glamorous movie star (this summer's Total Recall). Damn you, Timberlake!
29. Eva Mendes
This actress' Cuban curves are enough to make us wish we were Will Smith in Hitch (what a cad!). We give thanks that those Revlon makeup ads run every five seconds.
30. Bérénice Marlohe
The French beauty has a license to bring you to your knees as the new Bond girl in this winter's Skyfall. We are both shaken and stirred.
31. Candice Swanepoel
She's money-literally. Making her debut as No. 10 on Forbes' list of top-earning models, Candice proves she's got the beauty and the brains to make it in the lingerie business. We have neither, which is why we're leaving for our second job at Chick-fil-A as soon as we finish typing this sentence.
32. Rihanna
This Battleship superstar knows how to make men smile. Whether she's acting, singing, or tweeting topless pics of herself in waterfalls, we can't keep our eyes off the Barbadian star. We shall forever be under her umbrella.
33. Jessica Alba
Since this Dark Angel took home top honors in 2001's Hot 100, she's tied the knot, become a mother (twice), and fought to save great white sharks. A noble cause, as long as one isn't trying to eat you.
34. Elisha Cuthbert
Happy Endings' blonde bombshell and the first lady of the Toronto Maple Leafs, she was the teenager we fell in love with in Old School. We're still too scared to ask her out, though-what if her real father is like her on-screen dad in 24?
35. Yvonne Strahovski
This Aussie has been a superspy (Chuck), went up against Robert De Niro (Killer Elite), and will have direct contact with Frankenstein (I, Frankenstein), all while looking hotter than a kangaroo caught in a bushfire. It's no wonder she was our October 2011 cover girl.
36. Sarah Shahi
She went toe-to-toe with Tony Soprano and chest-to-chest with the ladies of The L Word. But it's Sarah's sextastic starring role on Fairly Legal that's thrust her into stardom. All rise!
37. Jennifer Lopez
With a body that could heat the entire world, this feisty Latina makes us feel no shame in singing "Let's Get Loud" in the shower or enjoying an American Idol marathon. Well, until our dad catches us and gives us that "I've made a terrible mistake" look.
38. Kelly Kelly
In 2011 this squared-circle sweetheart returned to WWE Raw and graced the cover of Maxim's December issue. Our favorite fact about the darling Diva: Her real name, Barbie Blank, is even more badass than her nom de wrestling.
39. Kate Upton
She gave a whole new meaning to the words string bikini on the cover of the most recent SI Swimsuit Edition. Have you seen her online SoBe staring contest? We were never so happy to lose a competition in our lives.
40. Miranda Kerr
The first Australian Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda strutted her stuff on the runway just two months after giving birth. Women must love her for that.
41. Zooey Deschanel
The epitome of a hipster's fantasy, this indie bombshell and New Girl star sings, acts, and somehow even makes playing the ukulele sexy.
42. Brooklyn Decker
The gorgeous blonde supermodel with the outer-borough name and rock-hard bod successfully made the transition to the big screen with Battleship. We never thought board games could be so arousing.
43. Ashley Greene
This Twilight beauty and Maxim cover star convinced us that getting blood sucked from our neck could be downright kinky. Except when it's being done by our lawyers. Zing!
44. Lake Bell
Maxim cover girl Lake Bell made her talents known on HBO's How to Make It in America. We heard there was a topless scene in one episode, but we got too excited and passed out before it came on.
45. Zoë Saldana
Zoe makes looking good as a bloodthirsty assassin (Colombiana), Britney Spears' road-tripping friend (Crossroads), and a blue cat-princess (Avatar) seem incredibly easy. Go ahead and try it yourself. See? It's hard!
46. Adriana Lima
The definition of Brazilian bombshell has been a mainstay of Victoria's Secret for years. So have we, of course, but in more of a "getting arrested for loitering by the fitting rooms" capacity.
47. Julianne Hough
Last year she was the sexiest thing to happen to Footloose since the Kevin Bacon gymnastics scene. See her this month in Rock of Ages alongside hotness icons Malin Akerman and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Seriously, put this down and go see it!
48. Brittany Snow
Remember that blonde cutie from American Dreams? She's all grown up, having rocked Harry's Law as well as a Maxim cover. Lucky for us, she has a ton more projects in the works. But sadly for us, none of them involve attending our weekly Tupperware parties.
49. Emmy Rossum
She battled the end of the world in The Day After Tomorrow, and now she battles drunken dad William H. Macy on Shameless. Emmy can't catch a break!
50. Sarah Hyland
It turns out the hot daughter from Modern Family is 21, so you don't have to feel weird about having a crush on her. But you should still feel weird about kissing your TV every time she walks on. Your neighbors are getting concerned.
51. Stacy Keibler
George Clooney's lady may look innocent, but the former Maxim cover girl can kick your ass-either in her WWE wrestling boots or in her Dancing With the Stars ballroom shoes; it's up to you.
52. Jordana Brewster
Whether seducing oil tycoons (TNT's Dallas) or romancing racers (the Fast and Furious series), Jordana Brewster remains the sexiest granddaughter of a Yale president in history.
53. Amber Heard
First she was Seth Rogen's jailbait girlfriend (Pineapple Express), then she was the dead neighbor (Zombieland). Basically, she's playing the things we can never admit to our psychiatrist that we're into.
54. Katharine McPhee
The smokin' Smash star is one of the only people on Earth who would make us want to watch a show about a musical. (We're still bitter about not getting cast in the fourth-grade production of Cats.)
55. Emma Roberts
Forget about Aunt Julia-Emma is the Pretty Woman of this family. Last year she was a (spoiler!) killer in Scream 4, and this year she'll be hanging out in a porn shop in Adult World. Stay away from Booth No. 3!
56. Lily Collins
Phil Collins gave us "Sussudio" and this gorgeous star of Mirror Mirror. High-five him the next time you see him.
57. Lee Newton
Making quirky, awkward, and blonde all blend together for a unique version of hot, blogger Lee Newton's frenzied fans from @SourceFed made sure she got on this list. Go to @LeeNewtonSays on Twitter and start obsessing stat!
58. Arianny Celeste
It's always hard to write about someone taking a pounding in the Octagon without smirking, and when there are UFC Octagon Girls as hot as Arianny Celeste out there, it's pretty much impossible.
59. Amanda Bynes
Even as an uptight mean girl in Easy A, the former Nickelodeon star had us drooling. Her latest wild and crazy exploits in L.A. clubland didn't make us fall less in love with her, that's for sure.
60. Shakira
This Colombian international pop superstar once famously said her "hips don't lie." True, but our pancreases are notoriously untrustworthy.
61. Kristen Bell
In House of Lies the former Veronica Mars showed us the surprisingly hot, not-so-surprisingly sleazy side of management consulting. Catch her this August in car-chase skid-mark-athon Hit and Run.
62. Vanessa Hudgens
This former Disney babe is now running around a strange island (Journey 2) and evading serial killer John Cusack (The Frozen Ground). She's also especially good at evading our love letters.
63. Dawn Olivieri
The Florida native gets us hot and bothered weekly as Monica on Showtime's super-sexy hit House of Lies. Who would have thought a show with Don Cheadle's ass could be so arousing?
64. Maria Menounos
The Dancing With the Stars swinger lost a Super Bowl bet and sported a Giants bikini in the middle of Times Square. We love a woman with a gambling problem.
65. Cobie Smulders
We're pretty happy it didn't work out with Ted a few seasons ago, because now we have a shot with Robin on How I Met Your Mother. (Did we mention that we're completely delusional?)
66. Alex Morgan
Anyone who says soccer is boring obviously hasn't seen this soccer star and 2012 Olympian race up the field in shorts and kneesocks to bury a game-winning goal.
67. Rebecca Mader
Our deep, fulfilling relationship with the ginger-haired babe began on Lost and continues on Fringe. Our TV is the best wingman ever!
68. Miley Cyrus
The artist formerly known as Hannah Montana has cast aside her teenybopper image for some adult awesomeness. In other words: You no longer have to feel creepy about knowing her songs.
69. Stephen Colbert
Democracy isn't always pretty: Sometimes it's downright handsome. With a massive write-in vote campaign, the Colbert Nation proved they're not only loyal but also incredibly horny.
70. Michelle Dockery
This classy looker is the only reason we watch PBS's Downton Abbey. Well, her and the show's trenchant commentary on the British class system.
71. Sofía Vergara
The most dangerously addictive thing to come from Colombia, the Modern Family stunner is hilarious and hot. She's hotlarious!
72. Kellie Pickler
Seriously, America: You chose Taylor Hicks over Kellie on Season 5 of American Idol? We're moving to France.
73. Abby Elliott
Saturday Night Live hasn't seen a cast member as yummy as dear Abby since Dana Carvey slathered himself in barbecue sauce back in '87.
A knockout who just might knock you out, the Jersey Shore star is more intoxicating than 15 Red Bull and vodkas.
75. Jessica Rafalowski
This sultry swimsuit model and former Miss Florida may be the most spectacular thing to blast out of the Sunshine State since the space shuttle.
76. Teresa Palmer
Only a body like Teresa's could make a zombie stop craving brains and start craving love. See the weirdness in the upcoming Warm Bodies.
77. Christina Hendricks
Yeah, sure, we totally tune in to Mad Men to see how Don and Roger deal with the seismic cultural shifts of the '60s-not at all to see how Christina looks squeezed into skintight vintage dresses.
78. Kirby Bliss Blanton
Project X brought the party, but it also brought America's new favorite girl next door. Wait, seriously? In what neighborhood? The girl next door to us is 73 and makes us cat-sit.
79. Nicki Minaj
This platinum-selling artist scrambles our brain and rocks our world. Her hooks are so catchy, we recommend using Purell after listening.
80. Stana Katic
We'd seriously contemplate a life in crime if it meant getting pursued by this Castle star. She's the reason God created frisking.
81. Pippa Middleton
Kate may be the Duchess of Cambridge, but Pippa has an entire Web site dedicated to her British bum. One butt to rule them all!
82. April Rose
Maxim's 2008 Hometown Hotties champion and the host of our Maximum Exposure Web series can be seen on MTV (Guy Code) and Speed (Dream Ride) and in the majority of our fantasies. (We especially like the one where she is rescuing us from an evil wizard.)
83. Dania Ramirez
With roles in a sci-fi classic (Heroes), a gangster epic (The Sopranos), and the dude comedy series of our time (Entourage), Dania sure knows how to pick a project to be ridiculously sexy in.
84. Nina Dobrev
The Vampire Diaries starlet makes us want to write forlorn love letters in our journal and never go out in the sun ever again.
85. Lois Griffin
The redheaded matriarch of Family Guy's Griffin clan is the sexiest housewife in Rhode Island. We don't really want to know what Quagmire is doing while he looks at this picture right now.
86. Caroline Wozniaki
Yummier than the kind of Danish you'd get at your local bakery, this former number one player of the Women's Tennis Association is only 21 and makes on-court grunting an art form.
87. Paulina Gretzky
The smokin'-hot daughter of "the Great One" is a pop singer, model, and a Twitter sex kitten. Get your daily dose of hotness: @PaulinaGretzky.
88. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood
We screamed along with her in Final Destination 5, and her first single as Jacqui Mac, "After Hours," is worthy of any party, be it of the pool, roller-skating, or political variety.
89. Dalena Henriques
Here's to hoping that this year we finally get to see the face of the hottest body- part model in the world. Go to Dalenahenriques.com to see even more of her parts!
90. Bria Murphy
No, you'll never get back that eight dollars you spent on a ticket to The Adventures of Pluto Nash, but at least Eddie Murphy has given us the gift of his gorgeous model daughter, Bria.
91. Claire Coffee
The former West Wing star flashed her legal briefs on Franklin & Bash and cast a spell over our lap region as the witchy Adalind Schade on Grimm.
92. Amanda Knox
Foxy Knoxy's murder rap was overturned after she spent four years in a hardcore Italian prison. We're guessing she hasn't hit the Olive Garden since coming back.
93. La La Anthony
On VH1's La La's Full Court Life, Carmelo Anthony's wife proves herself to be MSG's sexiest courtside seat filler (apologies to Spike Lee).
94. Alexandra Breckinridge
We're suckers for Alexandra on True Blood (get it?), and this California girl scared the pants off us as the spooky maid on American Horror Story.
95. Layla El
The curvy British beauty and former Miami Heat dancer breaks hearts and bones in the ring as a WWE Diva. Layla, figure-four leg lock, please?
96. Nadia G
If there's one celebrity chef we'd like to get into our bedroom before our kitchen, it's the sassy, sexy host of Bitchin' Kitchen. (Sorry, Guy Fieri-we know you're good at fluffing pillows!)
97. Kat Dennings
Funny, smart, and blessed with the kind of curves that make teenage boys dizzy, Kat wowed us in Thor and keeps us coming back to 2 Broke Girls. May her neckline never get higher!
98. Anahí
Consider this one-named Mexican beauty a true triple threat: She sings, she acts, and she writes hilarious tweets. (We assume they're hilarious. We can't read Spanish.)
99. Poppy Montgomery
The Unforgettable and Without a Trace star not only has the world's awesomest name but also once told us, "Any guy who hits on me in a bar—even with a terrible line—I always think is sweet." We have a chance!
100. Dominique Storelli
The reigning Hometown Hotties champion loves unhealthy food, action sports, and "guys who aren't afraid to get dirty." Gentlemen, cover yourselves in mud immediately.

Possibility of various gaming scenarios in Laser Tag
In paintball and airsoft you are very limited in selecting game scenarios and their options. In paintball and airsoft, a player can be only in 2 opposite statuses: "dead" or "alive".
You can certainly try to consider getting hits into the different areas of the body as different sizes of damage, but it is hard to identify and it is impossible for it to follow. Thus, it is impossible to implement. Also in this type of sport, you can't rate damage, depending on the type of weapon, from which the player was hit. You almost can not use additional devices such as mines, knives, artifacts, vehicles because you can't rate their health (hitpoints) or damage. In fact, the only possible scenario, in this case, is deathmatch with some options.
On the contrary, in laser tag, everything is customizable and programmable. You can set the player's hit points, depending on the types of laser tag gun, the role, the availability of protective equipment (body armor, helmets) etc. You can set the weapon damage depending on the type, size, weight and other factors. You can also adjust the shock and invulnerability time parameters. Shock time is a period after being wounded when the player can't shoot (it is usually set at 0,5-1 second). Invulnerability time is a period after being wounded when the player can't be hit (it is also usually set at 0,5-1 second). You can also adjust such parameters as the firing rate, the number of magazines, reloading speed, the presence of friendly fire, and many other laser tag gun settings. You can use knives, grenades, mines, respawn devices and medkits for restoring hitpoints, artifacts for increasing or decreasing hitpoints at a certain distance, anomalies, domination points that determine who is holding the territory or some object, bombs with a countdown and much more. Just imagine how many different scenarios you can create with such a big variety of settings and devices.
Battery capacity at Laser tag gun allows you to play 24 hours. In airsoft, you can play a few hours, in paintball less than 2 hours.
It is hard, if not impossible, to organize a night scenario in paintball and airsoft, but for laser tag, evening or night games in the evening or at night are usual.

The Savage Map in PUBG is going to be changing a lot on the road to the full release. Battlegrounds developers say that the 4×4 island map will be getting new weapons, vehicles, and areas in the months ahead. This includes an underground cave system that the developers say was inspired by a trip to Thailand.
Apparently a massive hole with a pool of water and cave system will be added to the game in the future. A post on the Steam Forums for the game reveal some of the details in terms of what to expect, as well as the concept art above.
Savage Map is wrapping up its second closed testing period in which PUBG Corp introduced some new features for the map. This included three new locations, but it sounds like there's a lot more to come. Codename: Savage is still months away from being finished.
This is the second time in the last couple of days that PUBG Corp. has explained that the full release of the Savage Map is still months away. Keys haven't been incredibly hard to come by for the Savage Map. Following the instructions here will take you to the PUBG website which will allow you to link your Steam account and download the test client.

Energy price war pushes down cost of electricity and gas
Those looking for the cheapest energy tariffs online may be interested to hear that the cost of electricity and gas at two major suppliers has been slashed.
According to industry experts, the moves by British Gas and E.ON to slash the cost of their dual fuel energy tariffs could be the beginning of a price war.
The price cuts are the latest evidence that now could be a good time to use online price comparison sites to switch suppliers.
However, consumers have been urged to be wary, as the latest cheap deal from E.ON is a fixed-price tariff that runs until December 2010.
Money website Financial Advice said: "Many homeowners in the UK may well be wary of such long-term price fixes as a great number were apparently caught out when energy prices peaked last year and significant numbers of UK households are still locked in at higher prices."
However, Pierre Gadonneix of the French energy firm EDF said recently that electricity bills are likely to rise by a fifth to pay for new nuclear power plants in the UK making fixed tariffs and attractive option.

My Co-Defendant Settled a Personal Injury Claim. How Does that Affect Me?By John Masters on March 03, 2015 Posted in Blog
When a plaintiff reaches a settlement of a personal injury claim against one of multiple defendants, how does that settlement affect the remaining defendants? The answer will depend on which state's laws govern. In Illinois, the remaining defendant may recover dollar-for-dollar up to the settlement amount if he otherwise complies with the statutory requirements of the Joint Tortfeasor Contribution Act. In Indiana, however, the result is controlled by the Indiana Comparative Fault Act. Under the Indiana Comparative Fault Act, defendants may assert an affirmative defense known as a non-party defense and, in order to get a reduction to its damages, the non-settling defendant must plead and prove the amount of fault attributable to that settling co-defendant.
At trial, an Indiana jury would likely be instructed that it will apportion fault to plaintiffs, defendants, and identified non-parties. The plaintiff's verdict will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to the plaintiff, and also by whatever fault the jury attributes to the non-party. Each defendant will generally be liable severally for only his own percentage of fault. For example, assume a jury found that a personal injury plaintiff suffered $100,000 in damages. Next, the jury would then apportion fault to those listed on the jury verdict form. Assume they found the plaintiff bears 10% of comparative fault, that a non-party who was a settling former co-defendant bears 30% of the fault, and that the sole remaining defendant bears 60%. The remaining defendant would be liable for $60,000—regardless of the amount that his co-defendant previously paid plaintiff to settle.
Significantly, an Indiana defendant may name as a non-party those who were never parties to the case, and even those who cannot be subject to liability to the plaintiff. The jury is not permitted to hear of any immunity defense that the non-party might have.
In Illinois, the rule is different. In Illinois, when a plaintiff settles with one of multiple defendants in good faith, then any judgment entered against the non-settling defendant may be reduced dollar-for-dollar to the extent of the amount stated in the settlement release.
The effect multiple defendants have on litigation depends upon your state's controlling law. In Indiana, a defendant has the opportunity to plead and prove the fault of settling co-defendants, as well as those who were never parties, as a means to reduce his overall potential judgment. In Illinois, however, the jury can only apportion fault to parties to the case. The Illinois defendant, however, gets the clarity of knowing his set-off amount prior to trial.

I spent the day walking, wondering what I should write. Wondering what I could write.
Whereas in the weeks leading up to this pilgrimage my assignments were laid out for me, contacts and introductions and interviews in a structured (if not formal) manner, today was just the road. It was conversations and eavesdropping. It was chatting. It was silence and solitude. It was time to reflect on not knowing what to think about. And it certainly didn't feel like I had anything worth saying.
Then, this evening.
Let me tell you something about how to write a story, especially an episode of television. You want resonances. You want the episode to gradually move forward on the various characters' storylines until, nearing the climax, you realize that they are all facing their own versions of the same struggle.
It's a great dramatic mechanism. At the 47-minute mark of an hour-long drama, the little girl gets a puppy, just as the couple decides to try for a baby, just as the dreamy-eyed hero walks out of his shift in the emergency room and watches the sun rise, and you realize Oh! This is all about beginnings...
Life is rarely so convenient. Or, perhaps, we are simply usually locked in our own lives and don't hear the echoes around us. The little girl with the puppy has no idea about the couple or the dreamy-eyed hero. She has no idea she is an echo. She is simply the hero of her own story.
I'm in a uniquely blessed position on this Trail. I get to listen. I'm expected to think – about myself as a pilgrim, yes, but also about, and for, and in relation to the lives happening around me.
At the end of a day which involved a 19.1 mile walk through more corn and soybeans than really any one person should face, after swimming and showering and sleeping to clear my head and refresh my body, I was struck by echoes. Echoes of stories not related, and yet not entirely un-related, either.
When my wife and I were married twenty-four years ago, we were given a honeymoon vacation to get away for a week to Cancun. It was terrific. Returning, we came through Miami on our way to Philadelphia. When we landed, we were stood in our row waiting to leave the plane when the woman behind us asked if we were newlyweds.
Evidently, we glowed, because this was a question we had heard several times in the previous week. We smiled and said that we were and the woman smiled and said "Look after each other." Then, in the next breath, she explained in a single sentence that she was returning from Florida where she and her husband had gone to find a place following his retirement when, lying on the beach, he had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. We were struck. My wife, better in just about every situation than am I, offered condolences while I was stunned silent. "So," the woman said again, dry-eyed but plainly in the speechless dizziness of grief, "look after each other."
I've been thinking about my wife a lot on this walk. If you've been following, you know that we've lived on separate coasts for a year as we go through the process of an extended move from Connecticut to Seattle. By the time the walk is over and I return home, she will finally be there – one week shy of a year since we parted.
It's been a long year.
It's been a long year for some other pilgrims, too.
Deb McGraw-Block ('77) met her husband, Rennie Block, in the fall of her first year in grad school. For 39 years, she tried to get him to visit Notre Dame. Somehow, he always managed to dodge the trip.
Last October he finally joined her. Micki Kidder, who is Executive Director of Development in addition to being another pilgrim on this Trail, remembers Rennie turning to her at one point in the weekend and saying, "Now I get it. It's the people."
Deb and Rennie returned home to San Diego and three days later, suddenly and unexpectedly, he collapsed at his gym and passed away.
"I needed something to do," Deb tells me, of this walk. "Something to look forward to. Some time to be quiet. To figure out what's supposed to be next."
It echoes. It's not the same, not by any means. But it resonates. It echoes.
Now, because it's a Notre Dame sponsored event, there is of course Catholic Mass every day. No one is going to mistake me for the most devout Catholic in the bunch, but I do know when to stand and when to kneel and, usually, I even know what to say. And, being a Notre Dame Mass, the sermons tend to be a bit more thinky than your garden-variety parish Mass, and I'm totally down with that.
But before we get to the sermon this evening, before we've even really begun, the priest explains that today is the feast of Saint Maximillian Kolbe, a Polish Jesuit who, when he learned that a married man had been selected to be starved to death in Auschwitz, asked the guards to allow him to die in the married man's place. His request was granted. Though his death took some two weeks to arrive, it was on this day 76 years ago that he finally succumbed, having martyred himself to preserve a family.
Another echo which I cannot define, but which feels significant. Even more so when I learn later in the evening that Kolbe is not only the patron saint of families, but of storytellers, too.
The echoes resonating want to coalesce into a story, but before they can, I learn of yet another pilgrim who lost the love of his life.
Terry Tulisiak ('74) is a doctor, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, built tall with the strength of a bull and the heart of a golden retriever. His wife, Marita (SMC '74) died in 2014 after a long bout with breast cancer. He grieves. His life is full. He's a wonderful, strong and independent man. But his full life and her full life once made their full life, and in that absence, he grieves, however much time may have passed, however strong he may be in himself.
I want to sum this up. I want to put a button on it like an episode of your favorite TV show where all the echoes resonate and finally make sense.
But we're not watching a story. We're living one. We are the characters in it. I want resolution, I want explanation, even as I know I won't get it. The credits aren't about to roll. Only the sunset before tomorrow's dawn and we do it again.
It's just – I don't know – maybe it's just that every now and then we hear the echoes, we feel the resonance, and we get a little glimpse of how many stories there are around us.
And it feels important to notice them so that we know we're not alone.
