As I am on a little backpacking trip this month, I thought I would do a couple of travel themed posts!
Travelling opens your eyes to so many amazing experiences. I wanted to share some of my absolute favourites with you.
Swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines. I am terrified of the sea, especially deep water, so I basically just clung to the side of the boat hyperventilating for like 10 minutes (glamorous right?). But when I finally forced myself to swim, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my whole life. They are huge but so beautiful and peaceful. I have a tattoo of one now to remember it.
Horse riding in the sea in Bali. I used to have a horse when I was younger and I adore them. Unfortunately I am allergic so I got a pretty bad rash afterwards but it was 100% worth it to gallop bareback on the beach.
Beer bike in Budapest. My friends and I went to Budapest for one of their birthday's a few years back and the beer bike was absolutely hilarious and so much fun. Random people were hopping on and off and at one point we were having to hand people beer in the street because there was SO much of it! It's actually really hard too, you really have to put a lot of effort in to get it moving.
Crazy Shark in Cyprus. I am pretty afraid of the sea so this was one of the first times I really challenged that – it was a brave holiday for me! It's basically an enormous inflatable that you sit on that gets pulled along by a speed boat and is hands down one of the most fun things I've ever done.
Quad biking in Cambodia. I saw real water buffalo including little babies bathing in the rivers and got to go all through the little villages. Then we got to watch the sunset and it was so beautiful!
Joe's Garage in Portugal. When I went to Portugal with a group of friends one of them told us that this was the best bar they had ever been to in the world. I definitely thought it would end up being disappointing with such great reviews to live up to but I can confirm now, that it is the best bar I have ever been to in the world.
Snorkelling boat trip in Greece. This was my first ever snorkelling trip and it was so fun! We got to see so much beautiful landscape and there were loads of cool fish. It lasted all day and was such a fun day out.
The Panda's in Edinburgh Zoo. Panda's are one of my favourite animals. This is because my cat is called Panda and it reminds me of my cat, who I adore. When I went to Edinburgh I finally got to see a panda in real life and they were every bit as amazing as I'd hoped they would be!
I'd love to hear some of your favourite travel experiences!

|VISIT the OLD APPLE BARN
The Historic Old Apple Barn was built in 1941 in Mountain
Park, New Mexico. The Cloud-Climbing Railroad stopped at
the barn to load apples grown on the spring-fed orchards of
this beautiful area.
Today you can take a walk back in time and experience a
Vintage Emporium, Fudge Factory and Bistro.
Enjoy the mountain view and mountain air on our seventy foot

The SQL repository is a generalized and flexible implementation of the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Repository API that an application can use to access data stored in an SQL database. See the Repository API chapter for more information. The SQL repository is implemented through the
atg.adapter.gsa package (GSA stands for Generic SQL Adapter).
The main Oracle ATG Web Commerce component in the SQL repository is an instance of the
atg.adapter.gsa.GSARepository class, which extends the class
atg.repository.RepositoryImpl and implements two interfaces:
You create an SQL repository instance by instantiating the
atg.adapter.gsa.GSARepository class. This class is not documented in the ATG Platform API Reference, and it is not intended that you access this class directly from Java code. Normally, you access all Repository functionality with the interfaces
atg.repository.Repository and
atg.repository.MutableRepository. This enables your classes to work with any repository implementation for the greatest flexibility. Some methods like those for cache invalidation are defined on the class
atg.repository.RepositoryImpl. It is anticipated that future repositories will extend that class, so you can make your code more reusable and maintainable by accessing those methods on this base class rather than the implementation class of
The SQL repository uses an XML repository definition file to describe the item descriptors that compose a repository. The repository definition file also describes the relationships between repository definitions—item descriptors, repository items, and repository item properties, and the corresponding elements of an SQL database—its tables, rows, and columns, respectively. The XML tags of the repository definition file are described in detail in the SQL Repository Reference chapter. The XML tags are also introduced in examples in this chapter and in the SQL Repository Item Properties chapter.

Watch 25,000 teddy bears tossed onto the ice
One of the annual traditions during any hockey game is the teddy bear toss, when the team encourages fans to throw stuffed animals on the ice. The animals are then donated to children's charities for the holidays.
Canadians take it to a whole new level.
Sunday, the Calgary Hitmen, a major juniors team in Canada, hosted a stuffed animal toss of epic proportions. The crowd of under 18,000 brought in 25,921 bears, reports the Calgary Sun. If you think it's a record, you'd be wrong. The bears literally rained down from the stands for about 11 minutes. While the toss registered a good increase over last year's - about 3,000 more - it fell 1,000 short of the world record for bears tossed onto the ice. And yes, the Hitmen are the record holders.

Holiday Season May Be A Good One For U.S. Retailers
Well, now, a bit of economic brightness from the private sector. If the initial numbers are any indication that this will be a pretty good holiday season for retailers. Shoppers were very busy over the Thanksgiving weekend. NPR's Jim Zarroli reports.
JIM ZARROLI, BYLINE: The crowds were heavy at a Walmart in Athens, Ohio, this weekend. Among the shoppers was Sandy Tope(ph), who was trying to get her buying done early.
SANDY TOPE: We were here earlier for the 8 o'clock sale. We were here at probably about 10:00 and went home, caught a few hours sleep, and then I was back here before 5:00, and then I'm also going to hit another store at 7:00.
ZARROLI: It may be early to say for sure how the holiday season will shape up for retailers, but Kathy Grannis of the National Retail Federation says the tea leaves are looking promising. Grannis says shoppers visited stores or went online to shop 247 million times this weekend, up from 226 million during the same period last year. On Black Friday alone, some 89 million people went shopping.
KATHY GRANNIS: Overall, the data shows an increase of the number of people who shopped multiple times this weekend. It looks like retailers' deals and promotions really struck a chord with holiday shoppers this year.
ZARROLI: Grannis doesn't expect sales to grow this year as much as they did last year when consumer spending rose by 5.6 percent. She says consumers are still cautious about the economy. The job market remains weak. But she's still looking for a pretty healthy increase of 4.1 percent. Chris Angell of the retail research firm ShopperTrak is optimistic as well. He says among other things, the calendar bodes well for retailers this year.
CHRIS ANGELL: So we have an extra sort of weekend more than we did last year after Black Friday. It's the longest possible number of days between Black Friday and Christmas.
ZARROLI: But Angell also points to a paradox in the shopping numbers. So far, his firm surveys foot traffic at retail stores and found that it was up more than 3 percent on Friday compared to the year before. But total sales were down, so people were apparently doing a lot more window-shopping. It may also have something to do with the number of discounts being offered and a lot of large retailers open for business as early as Thursday evening offering big savings to people willing to get up from the table early and head for the malls. Elena Seyer(ph) says she doesn't exactly like the idea of shopping on Thursday night when people should be with their families.
ELENA SEYER: I feel bad for the employees who happen to work on Thanksgiving, but with the economy, you're kind of forced to have to do it. You know, if you can find something $100 cheaper, you kind of have to do it.
ZARROLI: But Thursday night shopping may be here to stay. The National Retail Federation says people made 28 million shopping trips on Thanksgiving 2011. This year, that number rose to 35 million. Jim Zarroli, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Blog: The Benefits of Storage for Your Art Collection Pieces
Many artists have precious pieces of art which they have created and cherish in their own collection. Often, artists or avid art enthusiasts have treasured art collections that grow and flourish over the years. These collections and pieces are very valuable, but, as with any item of art, they are susceptible to damage if they are not stored properly. The good news is that finding a brand new storage facility for your art collection with the amenities you need to protect your pieces is actually easy to do. You just need to know what you are looking for. To take advantage of all the amenities storage units offer, make sure you look for the following features.
Climate-Controlled, Indoor Storage Units
Indoor, climate-controlled storage units are by far one of the most crucial aspects artists should look for in a storage unit to protect their pieces. The paints, oils, and other materials (such as wood and different pieces of glassware) used in art pieces can often be impacted by varying temperatures, potentially compromising the integrity of the pieces in the collection. With climate-controlled storage, the temperature is carefully controlled to give you the perfect climate for all of your art and supplies. This relieves you of the responsibility of tedious tasks to properly care for your artwork.
The Varying Units for Your Art Collection
In addition to climate control, artists also want to find a storage facility which provides with different size options. Some paintings and sculptures are big enough that a standard storage unit is simply not large enough to accommodate their pieces. As an artist, you need the flexibility to choose a larger storage space to store different items in your collection while maintaining still being satisfied with climate control and indoor storage.
Additional Features
In addition to the importance of climate-controlled and a variety of storage unit sizes, US Storage Center's new Miami facility also offers amenities like large loading bays, electronic gate access, elevators, 24/7 video monitoring, moving supplies, and individually alarmed units. These precautions protect your belongings and ensure your art collections is properly monitored during the storage process. Find the perfect unit for you and your valuables at US Storage Centers' brand new Miami facility today!

[Linda - sorry for the second thread. There's some problem in the database, I think - the thread I'm responding to will suddenly disappear, or it will reappear without my post. After the third try, I just decided to respond in a separate thread. Please feel free to move this response over where it belongs and apologies again for the double thread]
She is not a medical professional - she is a patient with scoliosis who has published her (remarkable) reduction in severity of a curve in an adult. Because she is not a professional in the field, she is under no professional pressure to publish continued research in this area. There is also no scientific urgency for such updates - both because the major contribution of her case to science is *that* an adult can reduce the severity of their curve and hold that reduction over time, and because she is (I believe) now old enough that any future progression of her curve will tell us more about degenerative scoliosis then it tells us about adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Which is all to say that I'm not looking for any further updates.
If anyone is interested in her case, she has written a book (here - http://www.amazon.com/Scoliosis-Huma.../dp/0971954607) and has also published her case study (here -http://www.scoliosisjournal.com/content/4/1/27). I will add that any reduction in an adult curve is very, very rare. The important information from Martha's case is that it's possible at all - it will take a long time to figure out how and why it's possible.

Bryan Fuller isn't giving up on Mockingbird Lane. Now that NBC plans to air the pilot as a special later this month, it appeared that the network had thrown in the towel on its Munsters redux. But Fuller—who's in Canada overseeing NBC's upcoming take on Hannibal—tells TV Guide Magazine that he remains bullish on Mockingbird, and thinks Halloween is a perfect time to get viewers on board.
"Such a different show merits a different way of getting it out to the audience," he says. "There's been tremendous support to get it out there and get people to see it, and have them make up their own minds," he says.
Fuller's modern take on The Munsters—starring Jerry O'Connell and Portia de Rossi as Herman and Lily Munster, and Eddie Izzard as Grandpa—wasn't ordered to series but instead will air as a one-hour special on Oct. 26 at 8/7c. That could be the end of the long-percolating project, which had been in the works for years.
NBC Airing Munsters Reboot as Halloween Special
But not so fast: Deals with the actors don't expire until July, and if enough viewers tune in to Mockingbird, the possibility of it turning into a fall 2013 series still exists. At Comic-Con this summer, Fuller revealed big plans for the show, including a new take on the Munsters' pet Spot, a revved up Drag-u-la racer and even a cameo by Butch Patrick, the original Eddie Munster.
The Mockingbird pilot reportedly cost $10 million, which may explain why NBC hasn't completely let go of it yet. (Fuller's Pushing Daisies alums Michael Wylie oversaw the show's production design and Bob Blackman designed the costumes.) Fuller has already written outlines for three more episodes, and also crafted a six-episode arc should Mockingbird Lane rise again. "I'm very proud of the show," he says.
Here's an edited chat with Fuller on how he still has big hopes—and big dreams—for Mockingbird Lane.
TV Guide Magazine: What do you hope will come out of NBC's Mockingbird Lane screening?
Bryan Fuller: Airing a pilot as a standalone seems unheard of, but when you actually see the Mockingbird Lane pilot it has a beginning, middle and an end. It's an emotional story of a family told in such an unconventional way, and with so many different tools that we have at our disposal because it's The Munsters and not a regular family unit. It's such a different show that it merits a different way of getting it out to the audience.
If we get a huge number, all the cast are in line to be picked up and to go to series. And that was one of the things that NBC wanted to make sure, that they had all of the cast deals in line — so that if we did get a big number and audiences proved their appetite for this type of show, that they could move very quickly.
There was talk initially of putting it on in the spring and doing 5 or 6 episodes. But I think because it's Halloween and because Grimm is doing very well for them, their impetus was, "Let's get it out there to the audience now and have audiences really react to it." I stand by the show, so I'm like, great, let's get it out there, let's get people to watch it. At its core it's a story about a family trying to carve a path in the world for a son who has challenges. It's intimately relatable, but we get to tell that story with monsters.
TV Guide Magazine: Do you worry that it's so last minute that word might not get out?
Fuller: My fantasy of the show getting out there is people say, "Wow, this is one of the best NBC pilots of the fall, and it's great that it's airing and everyone should take a peek at it."
It's gorgeous, every frame is sumptuous. You get to have these really interesting actors coming in and taking their spins on these classic characters. I love the original Munsters and didn't want to step on it in any way of putting people in Frankenstein makeup and Dracula makeup. So we went our own direction.
TV Guide Magazine: We were expecting to hear of a pickup way back in August. What's the holdup at NBC?
Fuller: Because the show is a different type of show, it's hard to categorize. We are a family show, yet we're a monster show. We are a heightened world but we have accessible emotions. There's not another show out there like this, except for Pushing Daisies. And honestly, that may be a concern for some folks because Pushing Daisies was such a very specific vision. I think everyone is wondering, is it too niche for a network show? That may be part of the concern. But the fact that they're putting it on the air is a huge vote of confidence. If they didn't believe in this show it would not air.
TV Guide Magazine: It sounded like there was a debate over what to do with Mockingbird. What were the options?
Fuller: Every conversation I had with [NBC Entertainment president] Jennifer Salke was, "I believe in this show." It's about really trying to understand who the audience is. What is best way to present something that you haven't presented before? There is caution on that front, but there was also tremendous support to get it out there and to get people to see it and have them make it up their own minds. There were options like going on in the spring. And I'm happy about coming on in Halloween. When we were filming (the pilot) in July, I said, "We should sneak this at Halloween. We should make this a Halloween event and get it out there." It is a Halloween show. It belongs in the autumn.
TV Guide Magazine: Every once in a while a network will air one episode of a show or a backdoor pilot and hope that it leads to more. Seinfeld started that way. Do you think that might happen with Mockingbird?
Fuller: It's not entirely unheard of. But the thing that gives me a lot of hope is that first, I think show is wonderful, I think the cast is great. But also that NBC is putting it on the air. They don't have to do that.
TV Guide Magazine: It's been reported that you and (pilot director) Bryan Singer had a difference of opinion over the look and tone of the show. Can you address that?
Fuller: I have a very specific vision as an artist. Bryan has a very specific vision as an artist. The reason I wanted to work with him on this project was that hopefully, as you will see, those two great tastes taste great together. It's really not about us having differences, but we were two different artists who came together to tell a story, and it's our child. It's about the product of two very distinct artistic visions coming together to create something unique. As opposed to us having direct differences. I read that and thought, "Oh, that's interesting," because we actually got along very well on the set.
TV Guide Magazine: You've got a busy schedule and are focused right now on Hannibal. When would you be able to turn your attention to Mockingbird?
Fuller: The idea would be, in success, to start at the beginning of July to go to series. I would complete my work on Hannibal in mid-February and then segue immediately to Mockingbird Lane to get things ready to start shooting by July, should we be so fortunate to go to series.
TV Guide Magazine: There's no way you could go into production earlier?
Fuller: Once we got Hannibal up and running, it became so clear because of the demands of showrunning, that I could only run one at a time. NBC wants me directly involved in Hannibal and directly involved in Mockingbird Lane, really the only way to do it would be to stagger them, so that they're not simultaneously shooting. That was a great relief to me and a conversation I had with the network very early on, once it became clear that it would be impossible for me to step away from Hannibal. I told Jen [Salke] my fantasy of how this would work out is that I would complete my work on Hannibal and then segue to Mockingbird, as opposed to trying to do them both simultaneously. It would hurt both shows. I love both of these shows so much and I want to be able to give both of them my 100%.
TV Guide Magazine: July seems like a long time away for the cast.
Fuller: Don't forget, we didn't shoot our pilot until July. We would be starting less than a year after we stopped. So it's not that huge of a time difference.
TV Guide Magazine: You were given additional script orders this summer. Have those been written?
Fuller: We have outlines for three episodes, which are ready to go should we go to series. We charted out a six-episode arc and have outlines for three of them. We just need the trigger pulled to get going.
TV Guide Magazine: What do those episodes focus on?
Fuller: Every episode focuses on a different member of the family in a great way. Lily is going through this huge arc of, "I was living my life a certain way because I thought my child was a certain way. Now that my child has changed, do I change?" So she's having an identity crisis. It's all about your identity and family. So each of those individual episodes are all family stories about characters trying to find their place within the larger group. In different ways because they're monsters.
TV Guide Magazine: And I assume, adjusting to their new home and neighborhood on Mockingbird Lane.
Fuller: Yes, so there's a great neighborhood watch episode. There's what happens when the Creature from the Black Lagoon shows up and puts challenges on Herman's and Lily's relationship. That's a tremendous amount of fun. I was bolstered by the success of Once Upon a Time because it took the fantastic elements of fairy tales and brought them to this parallel world of storytelling. We're able to bring in all the fantastic elements of the Universal monster family and tell those stories in new and relatable ways. I really see a connection between those two shows. The audience has demonstrated an appetite for Once Upon a Time, and would certainly find Mockingbird Lane a very tasty dish.

Despite role, Carp happy to still be with Red Sox
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- In a relatively small sample size of 216 at-bats last year, Mike Carp had several big hits and finished with an impressive OPS of .885.
In other words, he is probably deserving of more at-bats. The problem is that there is a logjam on the Red Sox at the positions the 27-year-old Carp plays.
Mike Napoli is entrenched as the first baseman. David Ortiz is the designated hitter. Daniel Nava and Jonny Gomes share left field.
Yet, Carp isn't complaining.
"This is where I want to be," Carp said. "I want to be able to contribute any way I can this year. So whatever role I have to be in, I'm happy to take that and go about my business every day."
There is always the chance he could be traded, given that he plays at positions of strength for the Red Sox.
"You can't help but hear [trade rumors]," said Carp. "My agent talks. Your buddies will say to you, 'You might be going somewhere else.' But this is the only place for me. To go out and compete with these guys on the field every day, that's all you can ask for."


text: Hi all I'm a short time lurker just wanted to say hello. I recently took up surfing and have gotten some lessons and done some board rentals this summer. I don't yet have a board but would like to get one soon. I'm tall and thin (6 foot and 150 lbs) and not yet sure what type of longboard I need. Most of my surfing has been done on 9, 11 or 12 foot softops but they chafe my legs pretty damn bad when sitting up on them. And I've rented some 11 foot hard tops that didnt chafe but left me bruised to hell (lower ribs and front hip bones) Hopefully I'll toughen up or learn to lay on the board w/o getting so beat up. I've been told to get a flat rockered, long, thick, wide board for Texas waves. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

MONTREAL – Haggard, shaking and flushed, disgraced financier Earl Jones rose from the prisoner's dock, handcuffed and clutching a linen handkerchief, to whisper in a quavery voice that he was sorry.
Then he was taken away to jail.
Jones, 67, pleaded guilty to two charges yesterday of using deceit and falsehood to defraud people who invested with his company of a total of $50.3 million. The charges were based on 158 victim files the Sûreté du Québec had compiled and given to the prosecution and the defence late last month.
Yesterday, both sides recommended a sentence of 11 years. Judge Hélène Morin will render her sentence on Feb. 15.
In a surprise move, Jones and his lawyer chose to circumvent a lengthy trial and end the six-month saga that has left the formerly high-flying financial adviser a shadow of his once-dapper self.
Gone is the jaunty smile he showed when arrested, the jokey demeanour and bonhomie he used with clients and arresting officers alike.
Hunched over, wearing baggy jeans, a plaid shirt, sweater vest and sensible thick-soled shoes, Jones submitted to the intense security pat-down before he was led into Room 3.06 of the Palais de Justice around 8:30 a.m. for his scheduled court appearance an hour later.
Several of his victims were at the courthouse early enough to see the man who stole their life savings pass through the hall with lawyer Jeffrey Boro, and took the opportunity to jeer at him.
"Get the toilet paper, there's a piece of s--t here," called out Charlie Washer, who lost $125,000 to Jones and had been at the courthouse since before 6 a.m.
Forty reporters and victims filled all the seats in the court and Jones faced Judge Hélène Morin when she asked whether he was pleading guilty to the two charges he faced.
Jones whispered yes to both counts.
"Do you know what you're charged with?" Morin asked.
"Yes." Crown prosecutor Pierre Lévesque then asked that Jones be held in custody, and he was escorted to the prisoner's dock. At this point, Jones started sobbing, bent over and covered his face with his handkerchief. A short while later, a guard placed cuffs on Jones's wrists.
In presenting his case, Lévesque produced several hefty documents for the judge: the SQ investigation summary of 158 claims against Jones by his victims; two volumes of figures compiled by the bankruptcy trustees showing how much Jones pocketed for his own gain; and victim statements from 117 people whose lives were damaged by Jones's actions.
"Jones had a lavish lifestyle, for him and his family, and we know for a fact that he spent at least $13.6 million on himself and his family between 1987 and 2009," Lévesque said.
The disgraced money man began operating his company in 1979. By his own admission in a deposition he gave to the bankruptcy trustees, Jones admitted he began dipping into his clients' funds as early as three years after he'd started his company.
Jones came clean to the Sûreté du Québec shortly after his arrest last July 27, as documented in a four-hour DVD also given to the judge by Lévesque as evidence. It was this admission of guilt that led his lawyer to decide to end the process yesterday.
"Because he did nothing to cover up his crime, it would have been impossible for me to win this case," Boro said outside the courtroom.
"I liken this to a boxer who goes into the ring, arms down at his sides, and says, 'Hit me here,' " Boro said of his client's statements to police and the trustees.
Jones has been free on $30,000 bail since being charged July 28. He was evicted from his Dorval condominium on Sept. 11 and was living week to week in a rooming house on the South Shore.
"My client has been abandoned by his family," Boro said. "He was living alone in a rooming house, afraid to go out because of threats he'd received.
"He was living in a prison while on bail." In his summation, Boro said that Jones's lack of a prior criminal record and his age were taken into consideration when he agreed with the Crown on a sentence of 11 years.
"The sentence is more about the victims than it is about Jones," Boro said.
Just before Jones was led off to be taken to a correctional facility, Boro read something to the court and Jones's victims that his client wrote but was unable to say himself: "There are no words to describe the hardship and pain I caused.
"I have ruined your lives as well as my family and myself and I will forever live with this."
asutherland@ thegazette.canwest.com
Earl Jones's victims, lawyer have their say
"I gave him the benefit of the doubt all through this until I read the depositions on Thursday. Eleven years or one year, it's the same. I don't want to see him him out on the street; I'm glad he's put away."
-Victim Christiane Jackson, at the courthouse, who was forced to sell her heavily mortgaged house and lost her savings because of Jones.
"He looked atrocious, pathetic, but I don't feel sorry for him."
- Charlie Washer, at the courthouse, who gave $125,000 to Jones.
"I can't believe he's crying because of remorse; he's crying because he's going to jail. If he had remorse, he would have stopped."
-Kevin Curran, at the courthouse commenting on how long Jones continued to plunder his clients' money. He is the son of Karlene Kennedy, who lost her husband's $500,000 inheritance and was saddled with a $350,000 mortgage because of Jones.
"Mr. Jones admits he did wrong. The victims' lives are changed forever and so is his. Jones has regrets but you can't take regrets and go to the store and buy groceries."
- Defence lawyer Jeffrey Boro.

text: Featured Player: Matt Nelson September 11, 200712:00AM PDT Previous Next The past couple of weeks have been most eventful in the career of Vancouver Whitecaps goalkeeper Matt Nelson. The Tampa, Florida native became the fourth individual to keep goal for Bob Lilley's side this season, having taken over the number one jersey that was vacated by Tony Caig following his sudden departure home to England in late June. The 29-year-old arrived in Vancouver in the last week of August after the Whitecaps had agreed a loan deal with his parent club Harrisburg City Islanders before the July 30 transfer deadline. Before Nelson could embark on a his spell with the Whitecaps, the shot-stopper helped Harrisburg claim the USL Second Division championship with a penalty-shootout victory over defending champions Richmond Kickers on August 25. Buoyed from helping the Pennsylvania state capital club to the USL-2 title, Nelson is hoping that good fortune can rub off on his current club, as the Whitecaps look to defend their 2006 USL-1 championship. "It's fantastic being up here in Vancouver," Nelson told whitecapsfc.com. "It's a great organization and a fantastic opportunity for me right now. The level of soccer is a little bit greater here, but at the same time, the mental approach remains the same. The guys on the team have made it really easy for me to adjust. I've come in and we've been able to get results in the last three games." Lilley wasted little time in making Nelson his first-choice keeper, as he made his Whitecaps debut only five days after Harrisburg's USL-2 championship success by recording a clean sheet in Vancouver's 1-0 victory over Minnesota Thunder. Nelson then made some key saves in last Friday's 1-1 home draw with Atlanta Silverbacks before posting another shutout against Portland Timbers this past Sunday. "I think the three games I've played in, we've played quite well," Nelson said his three Whitecaps appearances. "Atlanta, Minnesota and Portland have all been quite good teams to play against, and yet, we've had the better of the play in all three of those games, which is very encouraging." Though Nelson spent much of this season playing a division below the Whitecaps, he has experience of USL-1 following his four seasons with the now defunct Virginia Beach Mariners. His career also included spells in the USL's Premier Development League with both the South Jersey Barons and Cape Cod Crusaders, as well as a overseas stint in the League of Ireland with Kilkenny City. "As a professional, you always want to play at the highest level you can, so being able to go from USL-2 to USL-1 is great," he said. "The season is longer, so you get to play more games and train longer." Before embarking on a professional soccer career, Nelson developed his skills at the NCAA Division Two level with Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. Nelson credits the Fighting Knights' English-born head coach, Shaun Pendleton, in helping him with his growth in,to the professional game. "The coach we had at Lynn was an English coach, and he pretty much ran the program like a professional team," Nelson revealed. "He treated us like professionals, and he expected us to act like professionals, so the transition from Lynn University into the pro game was quite easy." With the USL-1 regular season now at an end, Nelson will now face further playoff action with the Whitecaps this coming weekend. Having already faced Richmond in a penalty shoot-out last month, the keeper feels confident of succeeding in a similar situation with the Whitecaps, should it arise. "I'd be okay in a penalty shoot-out, though I'd rather hope we would not get that far," Nelson said. "However, if that's the way we've got to go through, then we'll take advantage of it just the same. We're all pretty happy with the level we are playing, both as individuals and as a team, so I think we'll be ready come Friday." Previous Next

Generic Company Place Holder Dead Space™ for iPad
Before you start up Dead Space for iPad, developer Electronic Arts suggests the player "use headphones for best experience." What seems like an innocuous request is in fact an integral part of one of the scariest games you'll ever play—on an iPad or any other platform. Developed by EA as an adaptation of its terrifying survival horror series, Dead Space for the iPad is a surprisingly compelling third-person shooter that is good for more than a few scares.
You play as a saboteur set to attack a government space station called "The Sprawl" as part of an uprising. But your sabotage inadvertently releases a slew of nightmarish creatures called Necromorphs that infect and kill the mining population on the lower levels of the massive station—now you must fight to survive.
The survival horror genre lives or dies based on its ability to invert the normal gaming paradigm and make the player feel like they could be snuffed out at any moment. Instead of being a gun-toting, muscle-bound killing machine, comparatively more pedestrian and decidedly more vulnerable player characters take center stage in survival horror games.
With Dead Space's pins-and-needles soundtrack and thrilling atmosphere, you're on edge before you even see the multi-limbed monsters that you'll have to battle. Fittingly, Dead Space's "Vandal" character is a pawn in a larger conspiracy and her panicked broadcasts and meager armaments reflect that. It's clear that she is being lead around the hallways by people who have more information than her (and, by extension, you), but at the same time, your situation is so hopeless you can do nothing but trust their guidance will keep you alive.
Dead Space for iPad's armory embodies the "drafted into heroism" ideal of the survival horror genre. Your weapons are nothing more than modified mining equipment—saws, bolt guns, and razor blade launchers are some of the ghoulish weapons you'll find throughout The Sprawl's spooky, blood-spattered levels. The weapons feel futuristic, yet barely up to the task—you're constantly scrambling to find ammo and your shots need to count as it'll take several well-placed blades or bolts to take out even the most basic of foe. Unlike modern survival-horror-shooters, you can't "run-and-gun" either. That forces you to run down a passage, turn around, and hope that you can put enough shots into your approaching foe before they reach you.
If the beasties do reach you, there are touch-activated quick-time events you can initiate. Depending on the enemy, these can simply push the enemy back a few feet or kill them outright. If you fail to tap the appropriate button in time, you're a Necromorph's lunch.
You'll be able to find "nodes" that will help you upgrade your armor and weapons, though each improvement is slight, so you'll have to tactically pick your upgrades. The effect is a bit frustrating, as you never feel prepared for a prolonged fight. But at the same time, the game never pushes you too hard in any segment. Dead Space for the iPad keeps things challenging and yet fun without being so difficult as to make you throw away your iPad in frustration.
That's a testament to Dead Space's well-designed control scheme. Aiming, shooting, and initiating quick-time events are all easy with a tap of a finger. You can also swipe during certain segments, though the game would be admittedly improved if it followed Infinity Blade's ability to swipe your melee weapon in multiple directions instead of the prescripted one. I found the ability to initiate secondary attacks a bit difficult, but aside from that, I can't really complain about Dead Space for iPad. It's exceptionally hard to do the shooter genre justice on the iPad but the patient, third-person perspective that EA uses here seems best suited.
Through the ten chapters of the six-to-eight hour campaign, Electronic Arts does a masterful job of creating a compelling narrative with many frights, twists, and turns. Dead Space for iPad isn't just a great extension of the Dead Space franchise, it's a solid standalone game in its own right. It's one of the most technically solid, brilliantly executed games on the iPad.

This recipe was such a hit that I decided to re-post it. Zaatar is a tangy, addictive spice that is actually a mixture of dried herbs, sesame seeds, sumac, and salt. It is a centuries-old mixture dating back to at least the 13th century. Exactly what those herbs are, and how all those ingredients are proportioned vary from culture to culture and family to family. If you would like to create your own memorable zaatar recipe, you can start HERE, and give or take a little until you create your own personal zaatar potpourri.

TSA Collects Nearly $500,000 In Abandoned Change Per Year And Has No Idea What To Do With It
from the the-unofficial-National-Tip-Jar dept
The TSA undoubtedly has several problems, chief among them being charged with providing an expensive, interactive theater program aimed at putting travelers' minds at ease while simultaneously putting their nether regions through a rigorous groping regimen. The exposure of documents stating its all-important job isn't actually that important certainly doesn't help. As it stands now, the TSA is just another government institution, destined to be funded in perpetuity, even as its relevance continues to erode.
One problem it shouldn't have but does is how to deal with a vast accumulation of pocket change left behind by the nation's travelers.
Last year, the Transportation Security Administration collected $531,395.22 in change left behind at checkpoints.While this amount is literally small change compared to the agency's ~$8 billion annual budget, it's still too significant an amount to ignore. This unclaimed change is earmarked for "civil aviation security" -- you know, the main thing that the TSA does. The agency is supposed to put the money back into the company, so to speak. But, if the following figure is accurate, it would appear the agency is operating at peak (in)efficiency.
Federal law requires the TSA to report the amount of unclaimed money they keep every year to Congress. The fiscal 2012 report, obtained by The Washington Post, shows the agency collected about $499,000 in U.S. currency, and another $32,000 in foreign currency, at their checkpoints.
[T]he TSA has only spent about $6,500 of the money it collected last year.Well, if the agency can't use it, maybe it could pass it on to those who could.
On Tuesday, the House passed H.R. 1095, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), which would require the TSA to fork that cash over to nonprofit organizations that provide travel-related assistance to military personnel or their families.Good idea, one would think. But that would be before hearing how expensive giving money away can be when the TSA handles the job.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated [pdf] that collecting, accounting for and transferring the money to the USO would cost $1.2 million — $700,000 more than the actual amount collected.The CBO's two-page estimate is woefully light on details on how it arrived at its $1.2 million figure. It just sort of claims the costs will exceed $1 million, extrapolates this income/expenditure over a decade and states the whole thing will be a wash, even if the TSA's spending steadily declines. To sum up: nothing ventured, nothing lost.
It seems there would be a very inexpensive way to route this money to charity. First off, each airport's security team could designate a charity to route the funds to. Then… nothing. The TSA simply collects the change as usual and dumps it into the proper receptacle. The designated charity could pick this up quarterly (unintentional pun), count it themselves and turn over a receipt for record keeping to the TSA -- all on their own dime (slightly less unintentional pun). Total cost to the TSA: nothing more than the hourly wage it already pays to have someone scoop up and store abandoned change.
End result? PR wins all around (especially if local charities are used) and the agency won't be spending money to reroute money. In fact, donation boxes for the selected charity could be set up right past the scanners, allowing people to toss the change in themselves and restore a little faith in humanity after a trip through the TSA's dehumanizing theatrical production.

When the Mitsubishi Magna dug a wheel and nearly rolled, we realized we had a new favorite sport: paddock bashing. There's a Ford ute, that Mitsu sedan, a flatbed that also nearly rolls, lots of booze and even more carnage. Warning: NSFW language.
Paddock bashing is simple: Get an Australian or a New Zealander and some space off road and just go wild with your car. Add more people, more cars, more alcohol to the mix and you get something like this impromptu demolition derby destructo bash. Watch it in HD for the full metal crunching spectacle.

Rockies aim to piece together healthy second half
With division lead within grasp, stretch run awaits Colorado after All-Star break
DENVER -- The Rockies have every reason to be excited for the stretch run of the regular season.
They'll begin the post-break schedule 46-50 and 4 1/2 games behind the National League West-leading D-backs.
But just before the season's recess, leadoff man Dexter Fowler and cleanup hitter Troy Tulowitzki returned from lengthy periods of injury. With a lineup that includes power from Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer, who joined Tulowitzki at the All-Star Game, as well as catcher Wilin Rosario, suddenly the Rockies have intact the heart of an offense that was a key to a 19-13 start that was good for first place in the division.
And in an NL West where a team can rise quickly by turning hot for a short period, the schedule offers an opportunity -- a 10-game homestand out of the break against the Cubs, Marlins and Brewers. Miami and Milwaukee are last in their divisions and Chicago, although not much worse than Colorado record-wise, is next to last in the Central.
But there are still questions.
The Rockies have found three staff leaders in right-handers Jhoulys Chacin and Tyler Chatwood, and lefty Jorge De La Rosa, who are a combined 23-12 with a 4.36 ERA and 188 strikeouts to 97 walks. But the back of the rotation remains a question. The late bullpen mix of closer Rafael Betancourt, Rex Brothers and Matt Belisle is in solid shape, but middle relief has been inconsistent. The bench has been in flux for much of the year.
Still, after losing a club-record 98 games last year, the Rockies are much closer to the top of the division than anyone expected, and they are hungry under first-year manager Walt Weiss. The performances of Chacin and De La Rosa, who were injured much of last year, and Chatwood, who battled control issues and bounced between the Majors and Minors last season, give Colorado reason to believe.
First-half awards
|MVP: LF Carlos Gonzalez
Even when Troy Tulowitzki was hurt, Gonzalez was the most consistent slugger in the NL in the first half.
|Cy Young: RHP Jhoulys Chacin
Chacin's efficiency and ability to force ground balls make him the poster hurler for the Rockies' strategy of keeping pitch counts tight.
|Rookie: 3B Nolan Arenado
Arenado was hot with the bat early, but has tailed off; however, his defense has been dazzling.
|Top reliever: LHP Rex Brothers
Brothers was the closer when Betancourt was out with a right groin injury; that period coincided with Brothers setting a club record for a scoreless-innings streak by a reliever.
"Our pitching has done a nice job, but we've got a good group of guys," Weiss said. "I like the way they show up every day. I like the way they compete. Coming off a rough year last year, my big priority was to get these guys to believe that's not who they are. That's not part of their identity as a club and I think they're past that."
The Rockies hope one of the starters they need is one who has been with them the whole time.
Right-hander Juan Nicasio drove the club mad with his periods of dominance followed by inexplicable tentativeness, often in the same game. The pattern led to a demotion to Triple-A Colorado Springs on June 28. But after two lights-out Minor League starts, Nicasio returned Friday night and held the Dodgers scoreless in seven innings in a 3-0 victory. It was the first time this season Nicasio had thrown a pitch in the seventh.
Nicasio missed large portions of the previous two seasons with injuries.
"I'm encouraged by the way we played and the way we competed and the way our pitchers -- our starters in particular -- have performed considering we started the year with four guys that virtually didn't pitch last year," Weiss said. "De La Rosa has had an outstanding first half after being one of the guys that didn't pitch last year, and hopefully Juan keeps improving and shows signs of what he did the other night."
The fifth spot in the rotation is up for grabs, although lefty Drew Pomeranz has it for now. Pomeranz, struggling with command issues, was sent to Double-A Tulsa for one start before the break, with the idea of bringing him back to the rotation when the season continues. If he isn't better, there could be other options.
Players to watch in second half
|SS Troy Tulowitzki
The Rockies' Gold Glove defensive leader and cleanup man was putting up NL Most Valuable Player Award-worthy numbers before suffering a broken rib, and could win the award if he stays healthy and pushes Colorado to the playoffs.
|LHP Jorge De La Rosa
His healthy return from a year and a half marred by elbow problems is a key reason the Rockies have a chance.
|RF Michael Cuddyer
If he hits like he did during an All-Star first half, and other lineup components stay healthy, he deepens an already dangerous batting order.
Lefty Jeff Francis, who struggled early and has been retooling at Colorado Springs, could get another chance after the break. Righty Collin McHugh, who came from the Mets for outfielder Eric Young Jr., and long-ago Rockies ace righty Aaron Cook also are at Colorado Springs. The Rockies also made a Minor League deal with the Reds for right-hander Armando Galarraga -- who has pitched in the Majors for the Rangers, Tigers, D-backs and Astros -- and will send him to Colorado Springs. Hard-throwing prospect Chad Bettis has returned from injury and is pitching at Double-A Tulsa.
For the Rockies to truly contend, they must have a deep bullpen. In an effort to avoid injuries that have occurred frequently with starters over the life of a franchise that plays at mile-high altitude, the Rockies aren't letting pitchers go much over 100 pitches. If that figure is reached after six innings and the Rockies have a lead, Weiss can hand the game to the trio of Belisle, Brothers and Betancourt.
However, if a reliever is needed in the sixth or earlier, there is some uncertainty.
Edgmer Escalona (1-2, 4.58 ERA) has done the best job, but after missing three weeks with right elbow inflammation, he posted a 7.20 ERA in his final four appearances before the break. Adam Ottavino (0-1, 2.47 ERA) was consistent for much of the first half but gave up runs in five of his last seven outings. Righty Manuel Corpas (0-2, 4.58 ERA) posted a 6.57 ERA in his final six outings prior to the break.
Part of the issue was when Escalona and Betancourt, who missed time with a right groin strain, were out, roles were jumbled. The Rockies' chances of scaling the division increase if this group of pitchers catches fire.
"Our bullpen's been one of our strengths -- it hasn't been perfect, I don't think any element of anybody's game is going to be perfect," Weiss said. "Losing Betancourt was a challenge for us. You take a guy out of the back end of the bullpen, and on top of that we lost Escalona, who was playing a big role early on.
"You take two guys out of a bullpen and it becomes a little more challenging, and it was for us, but I think the guys have done a nice job."
The Rockies also are on the lookout for trades, especially for a starter or a reliever, although they tend not to give up prized prospects. The right-handed bench could get a lift from the low-risk pickup of veteran outfielder/first baseman Xavier Nady, who is at Colorado Springs.
However they fill other holes, the Rockies believe in their regular lineup.
"When we're at full strength, we're a really good team. I think we've shown that," Cuddyer said. "The front office, I think, is prepared to make a move if they feel they need to, but as far as I'm concerned, staying healthy is the big thing looking forward to the second half. I really like our team."

A great place to free your mind and cleanse your soul. James Cameron came here in August 2010 to celebrate his 50th jubilee. He came down to bottom and then went to drink vodka at a local camp. :D I looove to have a great laugh! But personal freedom is what I value the most, and everything beautiful and creative is my big interest. I like to get to know other people and cultures, it's awesome to find that we all have much in common. And friendship is far beyond a language.

Press Release:
The Image Quality and Power of the E-M1 and E-M5 are now Packed into a More Affordable OM-D Body; Two New Lenses Broaden Olympus's Micro Four Thirds® System
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., January 29, 2014 — Olympus adds to its award-winning OM-D family with the new E-M10, an interchangeable lens camera that combines the outstanding image quality, speed and power of the flagship Olympus® OM-D E-M1 and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 into an extremely compact and stylish all-metal body. Featuring the new TruePic VII image processor, the same found in the OM-D E-M1, 16 megapixel Live MOS sensor, Wi-Fi® technology, a large, high-speed electronic viewfinder, 3-axis image stabilization, ultrafast autofocus and a built-in flash, it's the OM-D for photographers looking for an affordable, yet powerful, system camera they can use every day. The new, super-slim M.ZUIKO® DIGITAL 14-42mm f 3.5-5.6 EZ pancake zoom lens and the super-bright M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f1.8 expands Olympus Micro Four Thirds line-up to 15 lenses.
Best-In-Class Image Quality
The Olympus OM-D E-M10's 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor, combined with the TruePic VII image processor and M.ZUIKO lenses, delivers beautiful image quality with high resolution, superior color reproduction and high sensitivity that exceeds other cameras in its class. A maximum sensitivity of ISO 25600 is perfect for shooting dark scenes and indoor shooting locations, and ISO LOW mode (100 equivalent) expands the low-sensitivity end. The sensor's rich dynamic range makes smooth gradations possible and beautifully depicts high-contrast highlights and shadows. Fine Detail Processing II technology configures the appropriate sharpness processing for each individual lens resulting in natural, high-quality resolution.
The Olympus OM-D E-M10's in-body 3-axis image stabilization system is derived from the world's first 5-axis system in the E-M5 and E-M1. The 3-axis version effectively counteracts yaw, roll and pitch with both still shots and HD movies, regardless of the lens attached to the camera yielding great results even in poor lighting conditions or when using an exposure time of 1/15 second or less.
The on-board FAST AF is Olympus' fastest-ever AF system and uses 81 target areas that cover the whole image. Small AF Target and Super Spot AF modes make it possible to zoom in and focus accurately on minute sections of the frame. The E-M10 is also capable of capturing high-speed action with 8fps sequential shooting, the fast processor supports continuous capture of up to 20 RAW frames or an unlimited number of JPEG frames*, and the Continuous Auto Focus with Tracking mode accurately tracks and captures moving subject as fast as 3.5 fps.
Beautiful OM-D Design
The ultra-slim, compact and lightweight Olympus OM-D E-M10 body is built with precision-machined metal parts and a premium feel that inspires the user. Two easy-to-reach metal dials give excellent operability and improved control, and the grip is designed to rest comfortably in the user's hand. Despite its size, the E-M10 is the first OM-D with a built-in flash that is optimized for 1/250 second synchronization, a benefit for daytime flash photography.
* With TOSHIBA® SDHC UHS-I R95/W90 EXCERIA
High-Speed Creative EVF
The large, 1,440,000-dot electronic high resolution viewfinder (EVF) located on the optical axis of the E-M10 features a 120-fps refresh rate, a 100 percent field of view and maximum 1.15x magnification to help accurately frame shots. An eye sensor seamlessly switches the display between the tilting, 3.0-inch touch-screen monitor and the electronic viewfinder. Camera setting information, such as shutter speed, is displayed at the bottom of the viewfinder and photographers can take full advantage of the EVF's ability to display the effects of various exposure adjustments, Art Filter effects and Creative Controls like Color Creator, Image Aspect control, Highlight/Shadow control, Live Histogram, Display of five different grid patterns and even a Level Gauge — all without having to remove your eye from the viewfinder.
In-Camera Creativity
New features, including Live Composite Mode and Photo & Movie Capture, expand the user's creative potential. Live Composite Mode is a tool that offers previews of long exposures in the EVF, a perfect tool for anyone looking to easily capture light trails when shooting a star-filled sky. Photo & Movie Capture lets users shoot high-quality still images without interrupting the video recording. 12 Art Filters, three HDR capture modes and Photo Story support your photographic imagination.
Built-In Wi-Fi
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 includes built-in Wi-Fi, and the setup is simple. By quickly scanning the QR code displayed on the camera's LCD with a smart device, it syncs with the Wi-Fi network created by the camera. The free Olympus Image Share smartphone app synchronizes a user's smartphone and E-M10 so the camera's Live View is effectively displayed on the phone. In this way, the camera can be controlled by touching the smartphone display as if it were the camera itself, and users can send selected images directly to websites and social media.
Two New Micro Four Thirds Lenses
Olympus has also introduced two new Micro Four Thirds lenses to its line-up. The super-slim M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm* f3.5-5.6 EZ pancake zoom lens measures just .9 inches thick, making it the world's slimmest standard zoom lens.** It has a smooth electric zoom that is suitable for shooting movies, and can also be zoomed in and out remotely using compatible smartphones through the updated Olympus Image Share app. The super-bright, lightweight, high-performance M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm* f1.8 lens has a fixed focal length and is ideal for capturing portraits or close-ups from as little as 9.8 inches away. Both new lenses are sold separately.
New Micro Four Thirds Accessories
A host of new Micro Four Thirds accessories join the Olympus Micro Four Thirds line-up, including the fixed-aperture F8.0 Fish Eye Body Cap lens with a focal length of 9mm (35mm equivalent: 18mm). It's an ultra-slim accessory for creative wide-angle shooting through its 5-element, 4-group lens construction. The multi-use lens barrier MF lever switches from pan focus shooting to close up 8-inch shooting with a single press of the lever. The ECG-1 matching ergonomic grip is a removable grip exclusively for use with the E-M10. Designed for absolute comfort, the grip is the perfect thickness for resting the ring finger and pinky when holding the camera. A single press of the lever on the bottom of the grip easily removes it, making replacing batteries and memory cards seamless. The MCON-PO2 macro converter is compatible with six Olympus Micro Four Thirds lenses and adapts them for close-up shooting. Finally, the Automatic Opening Lens Cap LC-37C is available exclusively for use with the new M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ. When the camera is turned off, this accessory protects the lens from dust and scratches, and when the camera is powered on the lens cap instantly opens for snapshots and quick shooting.
*35mm Equivalent
**As of January 29, 2014. Shortest distance between the mount and the front end of the lens, when retracted.

Something we've long suspected has proved to be true: Baboons are horrible houseguests.
Howard James Fyvie and some friends saw a group of baboons climbing into a house in Betty's Bay, South Africa, whose occupants were gone. It was locked except for an open top-floor window. According to the clip's YouTube description, the guys called the police and the owner of the house, and then hurried over on their own to try to help. They climbed inside via a ladder and found the wild animals—plus a giant mess.
The baboons, as you can see in the video above, were everywhere—in the kitchen, where they raided the refrigerator, in the bathroom, hanging out on furniture, you name it. They had ripped stuff up, defecated in various spots, and were all around enjoying themselves. Undaunted, Fyvie and company chased them out of the house. (No word on whether the guys went the extra mile and cleaned up after the animals.)
While things worked out OK, yelling and swinging brooms at territorial primates isn't something we'd recommend. Of course, neither is leaving a window open with baboons within raiding distance.
In an interview with "Right This Minute," Fyvie noted that when he returned to his apartment and told his roommate about the misadventure, he was told it was a stupid thing to do because "one baboon is equal to seven grown men."
Fyvie said he responded with, "Never tell me the odds."
Very Han Solo.
