The tall man stood there, the yellow glaring eyes on his bandanna staring at her. He didn't say anything, just looked. Esther saw him turn his head slightly, looking at the dead body of Ron, and then back to her. Finally her took the cigarette out of his mouth and flicked it to the ground.
"H-how long have you been standing there?" Esther asked. The tall man stared at her; she was beginning to have a small doubt that he even could talk at all. But then he uttered a short laugh and responded.
"About the time you started shattering the bones in his left hand." He laughed again, and then was silent. He stared at her, as if waiting for something.
"Well?" He said impatiently.
"Huh?" Esther looked up at the tall, intimidating man.
"You got my attention. What do you want? One does not simply follow around a sadistic being without wanting something." The amusement had gone out of his voice.
"Well, do you remember me?"
"I remember when I ripped your face. And I remember you that other night at the park when that fucker shot at me." He growled.
"No, I'm not talking about that. It was twelve years ago, I was a little girl." He remained silent, so Esther continued.
"I was with my father, and someone pointed a gun at us. He saw you coming so he went into an alley and . . . and he shot my father." A tear came to her eye, but she wiped it away. "And then you came along and you killed him. You saved me that day . . ."
"I can remember all of my kills; but I don't remember a little girl."
"Whether you meant it or not; you saved me, and I'm very grateful."
" . . . " He looked around at the alley they were in, "Strangely enough; this is the same alley."
Esther looked around; she hadn't noticed. The memory played back in her mind. She saw her father again, alive. And then she saw him fall, dead. Then the tall man came and killed that man. She paused, staring at that spot where her father had fallen.
"Well," The tall man broke the silence, "is this all you wanted me here for? To tell me your life story?"
"Not exactly . . . My father was the only one that I had in the world, and when he died you avenged him. You're the closest thing I have in this world because of that, and . . ." Esther paused and gathered up her courage, "I want to be with you."
The tall man stopped and stared at her. If he had a face, she was sure that it would have shown a bewildered expression. Then he took out another cigarette and lit it. After thinking for a moment, he took a drag on his cigarette, and then looked back at her.
"You know," He put his lighter back in his pocket; "you're not like most humans I've met."
Esther felt her hopes rise.
"For one thing," He flexed his hand, "you're still alive." Suddenly he struck out his arm. Esther gasped and dodged, his hand slammed into the wall, causing it to crack a little. Esther stepped back from him; she stepped over the bloody hammer.
Barbed tendrils projected from his back, but, surprisingly, he didn't use them. He took a step forward, a growl rising in his throat. Esther looked down quickly and grabbed the hammer. Clutching the bloody tool, she took a step back as he took another one forward. He lunged forward again with his arm, she dodged to the side and his hand slammed into the wall. He took a few steps forward, and then turned around to face her. Then entryway to the alley was now wide open.
Esther took a look at the alley's entrance; she could get away if she ran. She looked back at the tall man, his malicious tendrils swaying in the air. She had the chance to run, but she stood her ground.
The tall man took a few steps forward; with his hand he hit the wall again, cracking it more. The growl grew louder, but still she did not run. He stepped closer, and his growling stopped; but then it turned into a horrifying roar. Esther was frightened, but still, she did not run. The tall man lifted one of his red-gloved hands as if to strike again. Esther clenched her fists and pulled her eyes shut, finding it ironic how her first encounter, and her last encounter, with the tall man was in this same alley.
Suddenly, the tall man put his hand down. His stance changed from aggressive to normal, and his tendrils receded into his back. Esther opened her eyes when she realized that the death blow wasn't coming.
"Hmm, you had the chance to run, and you didn't." The tall man took the cigarette out of his mouth and blew smoke in the air, and then replaced it in his mouth. "That either means you're incredibly stupid, or you're serious about this."
"Yes, I am serious!" Esther replied, putting down the bloodied hammer. "But, that was just some sort of test?"
"Oh please, if I wanted to kill you then I'd have killed you." He scoffed, but then turned back to the matter at hand.
"And you didn't fight back, which probably means you won't oppose me if you disagree with my methods."
The tall man walked over to Ron's dead body. "This, while not bad, didn't seem to have been thoroughly thought through. If people saw you with this guy then you'd be a top suspect; not to mention fingerprints."
The tall man took the chain in his hands and broke it easily, and then he tossed the chain to the floor. Then he picked up the dead body in his hands. He grabbed it by its back and neck, and in one quick motion snapped its spine. Dropping it to the floor, he looked back at Esther.
"Now people will think I did it, you can just say you saw me and ran." He pondered for a moment. "I guess you could become an asset to me."
Esther waited patiently, wanting to hear the final answer desperately.
The tall man took another drag on his cigarette. Then, finally, he answered; although with a bit of a reluctant tone in his voice.
"Fine, you can tag along."
Esther gasped in joy, and ran towards him with her arms out; but he stopped her.
"No, no hugs. I hate hugs." Esther stopped and just looked at him, smiling.
"However, if you go against me, you're dead. If you mess me up on a kill, you're dead. If you rat me out, not that the police could take me on, you're dead. And don't think that because of this that makes up friends. I'm not waiting for you, if you become a casualty during one of my kills, I'm not mourning you; and if you can't keep up, I won't slow down." The tall man turned and started walking towards the entrance of the alley.
"Hey, we never introduced ourselves; my named Esther, what's yours?" Esther began to walk after him.
The tall man stopped at the entrance of the alley and turned his head slightly towards her.
"It's Zehnder."

Deadline Review
The film is indeed partisan, as you might expect, and it offers plenty of testimony from convicted innocents and even families of murdered victims -- all of whom rail against the death penalty. There unfortunately isn't much of a plea here aside from the oft-visited notions that a) execution is cruel and unusual punishment and b) it does nothing to ease the pain of the survivors. Most of the film is content to rehash various cases wherein the wrongly convicted are finally deemed innocent -- further proof that a death sentence is a bad thing.
These are fair arguments but it's an extremely narrow view of the situation, even if you were interested in only showing the anti-death penalty side of the argument. Where, for example, is the standby argument that the death penalty doesn't serve as valuable deterrence in a crime?
And of course there's no viewpoint from the other side of the fence or really even much from a neutral third party. Does the death sentence deter crime or not? Haven't genuine criminals been put to death in the past -- and haven't freed murderers gone on to kill again? What does it cost to house a criminal "for life" without parole? And has this ultimate form of closure given any help to the families of the victims? I'm not arguing for these viewpoints, I just really want to know the answers. Surely the handful of people put to death in America each year is not on par with the Holocaust... or is it?
Ryan is pictured as a hero in this film -- ignoring the fact that he was indicted late last year in a massive corruption probe and left the governer's office a mere step away from the way Nixon did. But the guy seems like a nice fellow, and his heart is in the right place. So are the hearts of directors Kate Chevigny and Kirsten Johnson, and even though Deadline comes across like a lackluster film school project that's desperately lacking in context and objectivity, those looking for fuel to throw on the fire will find plenty of kindling here.
The DVD adds a number of extras, including extra interviews, the full speech that Ryan gave in his closing days in office, and an interview with the two directors.

Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson
U.S. energy officials say higher energy costs, this summer, may be an indication of a recovering economy.
"I think most measurements of the economy are that it is starting to turn around," said Doug MacIntyre, a senior energy and oil market analyst with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
MacIntyre noted a positive correlation between increasing crude oil prices and the optimism in global financial markets.
The EIA released its updated Short-Term Energy and Summer Fuels Outlook on Tuesday, anticipating crude oil prices will average above $81 per barrel this summer, between April and September.
MacIntyre said the outlook accounts for crude oil priced at slightly less than $81 per barrel for 2010 as a whole, and $85 per barrel by the fourth quarter of 2011.
"The big thing this month is that we take a more detailed look at the gasoline outlook," he said. "It's sort of a mixed bag, depending on your prospective."
The EIA forecast update notes an expectation that gas prices will remain relatively flat for now, with regular unleaded prices averaging a projected $2.92 per gallon this summer. The price is higher than the $2.44-per-gallon average last summer.
"[The year] 2008 was almost like two different years," MacIntyre continued. "The economy didn't really collapse until September. Following the financial collapse, and the economic downturn, we saw oil costs go down dramatically."
The summer prior, however, gas prices spiked well above $3 per gallon, he said, noting that the tanking economy played a large part in the gas price reductions of 2009.
He added that regular unleaded gas prices are likely to exceed $3 per gallon at times during this summer's driving season, and already exceed $3 per gallon in some areas.
The EIA forecast places the annual average price for regular unleaded gas at $2.84 per gallon for 2010, up from a $2.35 average for 2009 and below the $2.96 average expected for 2011. MacIntyre said the annual increases in average gas prices are due primarily to projected rising crude oil prices.
Rising crude oil prices are the result of favorable news of the global economic recovery, according to AAA Auto Club South Spokeswoman Jessica Brady.
Brady said a pick-up in manufacturing jobs and production was reported in the U.S., China, Japan, and Europe. It is viewed as evidence of a rebound in international trade. U.S. companies added 162,000 jobs in March, with fewer Americans filing for unemployment, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
There are also signs that Georgia's economy may be in the midst of a turnaround, according to reports from the governor's office.
Gov. Sonny Perdue on Tuesday announced net revenue collections for the month of March totaled $998.24 million compared to $987.99 million for March 2009, an increase of more than $10 million, and the first monthly increase in revenues since November 2008.
"While we are always cautious about reading too much into a single month's revenue report, the March numbers are certainly encouraging," Perdue said in a statement. "Spring-time in Georgia always brings us the Masters and the Braves' opening day, and I am hopeful we are also seeing the first buds of economic recovery."
Brady said news that an economic recovery may lay ahead has caused the market to rally on the prospect that fuel demand will increase this year and has pushed crude oil prices well beyond $80 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). By late Tuesday afternoon, crude oil prices reached $86.86 per barrel on the NYMEX, according to Bloomberg.com.
"We will most likely see crude oil stay above $80 a barrel for quite some time, causing retail gasoline prices to steadily increase into the summer," Brady said.
The national average price for regular unleaded gas remains below $3, according to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report. The report said Tuesday's national average price of regular unleaded gas was $2.83 per gallon as Georgians paid an average $2.73 per gallon and metro Atlantans paid $2.71 per gallon.
"It's a bull market right now, and investor confidence is high that fuel demand is on the rise, even though it may be a while before we see if fundamentals support the move higher," Brady added.

LDS conference week continues with leadership auxiliary training
Additional workshops, leadership instruction begin after conference
SALT LAKE CITY — A full week of training and instruction for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues Tuesday, when the first two of eight auxiliary leadership training workshops are held at various locations in the Salt Lake City area.
LDS general conference week actually started Saturday evening with the General Young Women Meeting for young women, their mothers and leaders of the Young Women organization of the church. LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson attended that meeting and urged the young women of the church to live lives of belief, obedience and endurance.
"Seek heavenly guidance one day at a time," President Monson said Saturday. "Life by the yard is hard — by the inch, it's a cinch. Each of us can be true for just one day — and then one more, and then one more after that, until we've lived a lifetime guided by the spirit, a lifetime close to the Lord, a lifetime of good deeds and righteousness."
Beginning Tuesday, conference week continues with auxiliary leadership training workshops for the Primary, Relief Society, Sunday School and Young Women organizations (the Young Men organization will have its auxiliary training workshop May 10).
"As a general presidency and board, we look forward to gathering with the many Young Women leaders who will attend this year's Auxiliary Leadership Training – both in person and via webcast," said Elaine S. Dalton, general president of the church's Young Women organization. "These remarkable women have been called of God to lead His precious daughters. This training is a chance for us to lift these leaders, to learn together, and to share our tremendous love for them."
Dalton said during the Young Women training "we will talk about the tools available to help young women be a light in their homes and in their communities."
"Leaders can learn more about the newly revised 'For the Strength of Youth' that includes the standards from our current prophets for today's youth," she said. "We will share ideas on how leaders can celebrate the 100th anniversary of Young Women camp and how they can include Laurels as leaders."
Dalton said they will also talk to leaders about how they can help their young women survive and thrive in what President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles called "enemy territory."
"One young woman, led by the Spirit, can change the world!" Dalton said. "Each young woman is blessed by faithful parents, inspired leaders, and others who mentor and help her prepare for and fulfill her divine mission. Together we can help her be ready and worthy to enter the temple. We look forward to gathering with this incredible purpose in mind."
Julie B. Beck, general president of the church's Relief Society organization for LDS women, said "auxiliary training meetings give us the opportunity to focus on leadership principles and help sisters to follow the Church Handbook. Some of the topics we always address include receiving revelation, working in councils, and ministering to others. We will also review how Relief Society is a full participant in the work of salvation."
Beck said she and her counselors are mindful of the dedicated service of Relief Society leaders around the world. "Relief Society presidents carry a heavy load," she said. "They assist bishops who have difficult responsibilities. We know that as local leaders are aligned with the purposes of Relief Society and prioritize effectively they will increase their effectiveness."
To that end, Beck said, "we anticipate that leaders will leave the training meetings feeling lighter not heavier. Our belief is that Relief Society presidencies have access to the Lord's help and we have faith that he sustains those who have been called to leadership positions."

This thread is generally related to a very stupid question I have, but in the last two batches (my first two) I have always gotten boil overs. Some trouble immediately after adding hops, but it continues the whole time. I never reach a hot break point where the foam recedes. I know what the concept of hotbreak is and I know extract brewing has very very little of it most of the time because of the original boil of LME, but I feel like I am either missing something or have the heat way too high and the bubbles just keep coming up. The bubbles are much thinner than others' videos describing the hot break, more of a foam you get when you boil pasta too hot and it keeps rising up. My common sense is telling me since the extract has little proteins that need to drop the foam I see really is just boiling it with the gas too high. I have tried cold water spray bottle, which makes it subside a little bit, but keeps coming back up after a few seconds, and the spoon idea lasts for about 2 seconds before it just spills over the spoon. I have also tried lowering the heat and it keeps bubbling like a boil, but the temperature never increases past 210-ish in the top of the wort. I hit OG both times, and the first beer was pretty good. I guess the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I leave the heat on full blast to try and get past this bubbling, or is lowering it once I reach a very strong rolling boil fine? I know I will still end up with beer but I want to improve processes or I will do the same thing forever!
Primary: Empty! Kegs: Empty! Moving to Colorado!
Yeah, don't worry about having the most vigorous boil, especially if you're doing extract batches. Since the malt extract was already boiled before being concentrated, you probably won't get much hot break if any at all (I never did). You're also topping off with water in the fermenter (I'm assuming), so how much you boil off of 3 gallons isn't going to matter a whole lot; if you're doing full boils, usually with all grain, the vigor of the boil relates to how you get the wort boiled down to the right batch size (usually 5.5 gallons) since you don't top off with water. Also, the wort needs to be boiling, and that is all. It doesn't need to be a raging pot of bubbling and foaming liquid; as long as there is surface movement, the wort is boiling and everything is progressing as it should be. Give yourself a little headspace and it should be fine as long as you don't have the heat on super high.
Awesome, thanks! I know it sounded like a dumb question, but in my searches I saw people talking about their boiling temps and various other things that just got me confused. I appreciate the help, even for something so simple sounding!
Everything's simpler than you'd think with brewing, or so I've learned. After a while I realized that must of the brewing process had become second nature, like adjusting boil strength. Good luck on your future brews.
I'm reading this thread with interest because I'm ready for my second home brew and would like to try a full boil method using an extract/steeping method. (My first homebrew turned out great despite every newbie mistake I could have made, lol...) I'd like to use a 44 quart pot on a propane boiler outside for the boil. Please excuse the questions but I'd really like to get this right the first time. 1. I have John Palmer's "Example Batch" (Port O' Palmer Porter) in mind as the batch I'd like to try. It is the example given in chapter 13 wherein in describes steeping grains as an introduction (i.e. a baby step) to all-grain brewing. He says that for "...best flavor results, the ratio of steeping water to grain should be less than 1 gallon per pound." Does that mean that I would steep my grain(s) in one gallon of 160 degree water, and then remove the grains and add 4 more gallons of water and bring this to a boil before adding my hops according to the recipe schedule? 2. As per the discussion above, add my liquid extract during the last 10 minutes of the boil (instead of at the beginning as per a partial boil). 3. Top off to 5 gallons. 4. Cool wort using a wort chiller to the appropriate temperature for tossing yeast. 5. Take an OG reading. 6. Pour off into primary fermenter and toss yeast. Best, Steve
Thanks for the response. Two more questions: 1. If I start with a 6.5 - 7 gallon boil, my aim is to get the liquid level down to 5.5 gallons. Once there, do I continue to boil until my OG is where I want it? I would think, for example, that the OG at 5.5 gallons is slightly lower than the OG at 5 gallons, since the sugars would be diluted. I guess that I am worried that I would destroy the effect of the hops if I boil for too long. 2. Palmer's recipe calls for 3 different malts; do I just steep these together in the same bag? Best, Steve
Thanks! Test boiling is a great idea, since this will be the first time that I've used the pot and propane boiler. Some of this will have to be done by "feel" of course since I'll find that spot on the boiler that gives me the kind of boil that I want - and then hold it for an hour.

A little on the GWOT which is off the MSM radar. http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/story.html?id=7ff15ab5-0480-4001-8d98-373e8aa04ad8 More on Iraq specifically: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23743270-5013478,00.html Much more of course at the links. As usual when gains are being made the US media is silent...
shhhhhhh, it will be much better when, instead of killing them, we sit down with them and legitimize thier existence. Afterall, look at how much better of Israel is, now that Clinton made them sit down and talk with Arafat. oops, nevermind.
And the most hysterical thing is come January and after, when the real tangible results begin to shine and the MSM picks up on it, Obooma will be president and all the praise will be heaped on him for WINNING the WoT. :singing: Politics is such a fukcing joke.
There's not supposed to be any good news about anything until Mr & Mrs Messiah "Move In" GW Bush has been known to create earthquakes & floods. If there are no earthquakes & floods in 2009 that will mean the Messiah Barack is truly "The Golden Chosen One" DON'T MENTION MY EARS GOD DAMN AMERICA YOU EAT WHAT I TELL YOU TO EAT TURN YOUR HEAT DOWN GOD BLESS YOU UNCLE JEREMIAH I WANT MY SUPREME COURT JUDGES TO WEAR DRESSES AND PANTY HOSE
The news has been good over in Iraq. It's too bad the media in this country refuses to report it. In Sadr City the people welcomed the IA with flowers. It could all fall apart at any instance, but thankfully things look like they're headed in a positive direction. The longer it moves that way, the sooner more of our bravest can come home.
the # of attacks dropping so much world wide is also a big deal , along with the drop in OBL popularity in the Muslim world, both of with are the opposite of what the left predicted.
Speaking of rinse-repeat... Look at our resident blood-hounds congregating together to play "told ya" whenever a story surfaces that "validates" their tired position!!! Bunch of Horshacks.... Oh!! Oh!! Oh!!!! What's "usual" is the media's profound SILENCE when atrocities are committed in Iraq. You trying to paint the opposite picture is really rather pathetic. Every time I turn on the CORPORATE media, i see one glowing, distorted, bullshyt depiction of Iraq after another. Not sure what media you're watching, but you appear to have a very conveniently selective memory.
From what I've heard, Obi was much worse than I am (although, didn't you guys come to some kind of understanding?), and Fog...well that's just low.
Thanks for posting a link that seems to support the premise that our WOT was a waste of life and money. It's interesting to see that in regions where the US isn't particularly active, terrorism is declining. In fact, your link says that 2 of the 3 countries where terrorism is not declining are Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the US is of course very active. Your Iraq link and other articles I've read suggests that possibly the military option is slowly succeeding in suppressing terrorism in Iraq. But, actually, maybe it has nothing to do with our military? Your article points to a trend going on in the Muslim world, as they discover the oppressive and corrupt nature of the Muslim extremists. For awhile, thanks to our unjust war, the extremists were able to use Arab nationalism to prosper, but now that is failing more or less on it's own. If that's the case, then our boys died for nothing, something which you righties of course cannot admit to.
So how do you explain it then? Perhaps all the little Quedians are drawn to Iraq where they become target practice?
No, I think as extremists get power, people begin to see who they really are. Probably, if you are a religious Muslim, Al Qaeda's and the Taliban's rhetoric sounds good. But, once they are in power, they are awful, and their reputation is on the decline. You see the same phenomenon happening with the Republican Party.
Amybe when Al Queda started butchering Muslims, they didn't look quite as good as when they were killing Americans. The lib spin which you have always maintained is that Al Queda was riding high because of the US presence in Iraq. The facts don't support your view.
The Calgary Herald is a newspaper that is part of an ultra conservative group of papers called the Canada.com network. Most of, if not all, of their writers, editors, etc. are all right wing conservatives much in the manner that Rupert Murdoch Newspapers and Clear Channel is down in the states. Their writing are always slanted to the right.
And you know that, NEM, because you were supposedly a resident of Canada once...which personality was that? Mosi, wasn't it?


text: Department of Physical Sciences, Division of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland Abstract. In this technical note we present the exact form of the Zeldovich factor for heterogeneous nucleation on spherical pre-existing particles. We study the error caused by planar pre-existing surface approximations, which have been used in our earlier heterogeneous nucleation model and elsewhere in the literature. We also test the significance of widely used approximations for cluster surface area and circumference. We conclude that the approximations do not affect the predicted onset saturation. Especially for small pre-existing particles the nucleation rates calculated with the exact and approximative models differ significantly.

Two days after families gather around the table to give thanks on Thanksgiving, South Carolina families will be gathering together again for the states biggest rivalry... the USC versus Clemson football game.
Played annually since 1896, this heated rivalry known as The Battle of the Palmetto State brings out the fan in everyone. Whether fans are watching from the comforts of their own home or from the seats of Death Valley (where this years match-up will take place), this rivalry can quickly boil the garnet blood of a Gamecock or make the claws come out of a feisty Tiger.
And it doesnt have to be a stranger in a sports bar or crazed fan seated in front of you to get you riled up during the third longest continuously played rivalry in college football ... nope, its often the people you love the most.
Your spouse. Your kids. Your family.
For the Bell family of West Ashley, the household is split down the middle on game day. Brian is a Gamecock fan and his Clemson-loving wife, Julie, share the rivalry with sons, Chris, 16, a Carolina fan and Logan, 11, a Tigers fan.
Its always interesting around our house, jokes Brian, whose father is a Clemson graduate. Somebody is always happy and someone is always sad. Ive been known to throw my hat into the ceiling fan. Its pretty bad all the way around, but the kids arent as bad as we are.
While theyll often invite friends and family over for the big day, Julies sister, Kathleen a Clemson alumnus refuses to come over.
Her sister wont come over. She cant stand it! laughs Brian.
Shes too competitive around Brian, jokes Julie, who admits that like her sister, she takes a loss very seriously.
Julies brother Tim, a USC graduate, doesnt mind coming over but there arent too many words said between the two. Brian is usually the one talking to him, she laughs.
Four-year-old Stryker Gehlken was born in the middle of college football season and was sporting orange and garnet ASAP says his mom Rachel, who has been a Clemson fan since an early age.
When he was a baby, he had two outfit changes a day. One would be Clemson and the other Carolina. Now that hes older, one day he likes Cocky, then the next day hes all about tiger paws, says Rachel, whose husband Dan is a diehard Carolina fan.
Hes a kid divided.
Strykers dad, Dan, grew up in North Charleston and was introduced to the Gamecocks at age 15. With a high school mentor who had season tickets to the games, Dan quickly learned the ropes of college football Saturdays.
Currently, Stryker is enamored with Cocky, the USC mascot, and recently traveled with his parents to Augusta for the 2012 Border Bash to meet him. Even at his young age, he already knows how to play both mom and dad.
He knows if he picks up something garnet and black, daddy will buy it, Rachel admits. And if he picks up something orange, mommy will buy it.
Stryker has both a Clemson and a Carolina pillow pet, equal number of shirts for each team and new hats for each team, says his mom. But to her, its not just about the performance on the football field.
I would love for him to go to Clemson to be an engineer when he grows up but thats his decision. If hes a Carolina fan, Ill deal with it. Im pretty outnumbered.
When the Gehlkens watch the games its usually at a friends house and far too often, Rachel is the only Clemson fan in the room.
Everyone is cordial until that one game day, she says. Then I have to stand my ground. But if they lose, well, thats a different story... Im a sore loser. I take heart with the orange.
Rachel does admit that she is happy to support her husbands team during games where they dont play the Tigers by wearing USCs team colors and Dan will also return the courtesy.
Although Stryker hasnt been to a game yet, theyre hoping he will be ready next season and they both agree, Hes definitely going to be the confused one.
Another youngster that may be confused during future game days is 6-month-old J.J. Chapman. Sure... he has no idea what a touchdown or interception is, but his parents are already battling out the rivalry.
Mom, local orthodontist Desmond Chapman, graduated from USC in 2001 and has a long family history of Gamecock fans. J.J.s dad, Jeff, is a 2001 graduate of Clemson. He, his father and sisters all graduated from Clemson and his family still lives there.
The football team has a special place in Jeffs heart, as he was a student strength coach for the football team while attending the university. Hes only missed less than ten home games since he was one year old. And one of those missed games was his first date with now-wife Desmond.
Jeffs favorite memory is when Clemson beat USC 63-17 in 2003. And Desmond reminisces about the first game they watched together as a couple when Carolina beat Clemson in Death Valley.
Needless to say theres a healthy rivalry between them and now J.J. is part of the fun. I do the drop-off for day care for J.J. and Jeff does the pickup, Desmond says. Last year, I dressed J.J. in Carolina gear and Jeff didnt see it. When he picked J.J. up from day care, he got a surprise from his outfit.
Annually, they put a friendly wager on the game and like to change it up. Desmond is already trying to bet that whatever team wins the 2012 Carolina/Clemson game, J.J. will wear their team colors for next football season. Jeff isnt taking this one on... wonder why? she laughs.
They will spend Thanksgiving in Clemson this year and the sore spot of Carolinas three straight wins against Clemson have already come up. But once game day comes around she admits, We tailgate and have fun but when game time hits, there isnt a lot of talking to each other. For about five hours every year, we dont speak much.

As UN nuclear inspectors arrive, Iran says 'questions will be answered'
The three-day visit could shape the direction of Western efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran says is only for peaceful purposes.
Tehran, Iran
Iran Sunday declared itself optimistic about a UN experts' visit aimed at probing suspected military aspects of its nuclear work and lawmakers postponed debate on a proposed halt to oil flows to the European Union watched closely in energy markets.
A team of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors began a three-day visit to try to advance efforts to resolve a row about nuclear work which Iran says is for making electricity but the West suspects is aimed at seeking a nuclear weapon.
Tensions with the West rose this month when Washington and the European Union imposed the toughest sanctions yet in a drive to force Tehran to provide more information on its nuclear program. The measures take direct aim at the ability of OPEC's second biggest oil exporter to sell its crude.
Q&A: What's with all the war talk surrounding Iran?
The Mehr news agency quoted Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as saying during a trip to Ethiopia: "We are very optimistic about the outcome of the IAEA delegation's visit to Iran ... Their questions will be answered during this visit,"

Mitt Romney's assertion in the first 2012 presidential debate - that Obamacare was a government takeover of the healthcare industry - was right in PolitiFact's wheelhouse. And the factchecking organization didn't whiff.
With about 10 reporters and editors on duty that night, eyes peeled for both new and oft-repeated factual claims, PolitiFact quickly tweeted a link to its 2010 piece that crowned the GOP talking point "Lie of the Year." The post was retweeted more than 2,800 times, making it one of the outlet's most popular tweets ever, according to editor Angie Drobnic Holan.
"We're not live factchecking," Holan said of PolitiFact's debate coverage, which in 2012 attracted some of the largest audiences in the site's history. "You can't research and verify facts that quickly. But fortunately for us, politicians repeat themselves a lot. The goal [during debates] is to give readers a sense if debunked statements are being repeated."

Most claims aren't such easy fodder for political journalists - from PolitiFact or more traditional news organizations - who swarm Twitter during live events. Checking facts still takes time. And while Twitter provides reporters a near-instant opportunity to hold officials accountable, its lightning-quick pace doesn't often afford them the chance to evaluate what's true and what's not.
A new study by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin found that 60 percent of political reporters' tweets during the 2012 presidential debates were simple stenography - sharing candidates' factual claims without challenging their veracity. Another 15 percent refuted statements with evidence, while the remaining quarter did so without evidence. Such numbers could be viewed as a missed opportunity, as Poynter argued, with caveats, on Wednesday. Tens of millions of Americans tune in for presidential debates, and Twitter allows for rapid conversation among experts and direct links to outside evidence.
But to do so would ignore both the pressure to constantly publish - what audiences expect on the social network - and the resources needed to confirm or deny new factual claims. What's more, Twitter is a flat, decentralized medium. Posts from The New York Times appear alongside those of amateur political bloggers. Users, meanwhile, have unprecedented choice on whom to follow, making it difficult for "traditional journalists to speak out above the ether with that authoritative voice of God," said Mark Coddington, lead author of the study.
"This open and networked environment means you have truth claims coming from all kinds of places," he said in a phone interview. "And the journalist is only really one of those voices, and he's coming from some place, too."
Different media, of course, tweeted the debates in different ways. Unsurprisingly, journalists from cable news channels led in their disregard for objectivity, refuting factual claims without evidence in 30 percent of their tweets. Radio journalists were most likely to simply repeat candidates' statements - what the study termed "traditional objectivity." Network television reporters, meanwhile, practiced the most "scientific objectivity," challenging claims with evidence.
That last category is the sweet spot for which factchecking organizations such as PolitiFact aim. But like most good things, sifting through tax policies and calculating household income growth take time - and often too much time for Twitter's attention span.
Eugene Kiely, director of FactCheck.org, said claims made in presidential debates usually require several hours to verify in their entirety. Some corners can be cut, he added, though doing so requires both instinct and preparation. Before debates in 2012 began, two staffers would "come up with a list of anticipated issues based on the debate topic - economy, foreign affairs, etc. - and write up potential tweets," Kiely said. "And if these issues came up, they could then just send those tweets out."
To be sure, sites like PolitiFact and FactCheck.org focus only on checking facts. More traditional reporters must analyze delivery, tone, and other factors that influence the narrative needed for a conventional news story. Analysts, meanwhile, pick winners and losers, which has little correlation to truth-telling. Small wonder, then, that most journalists resort to either stenography or snark when live-tweeting presidential debates.
It's also important to remember that only 19 percent of American adults online use Twitter. For political reporters, on the other hand, the social network is a de facto gathering place to trade analyses and swap jokes. Its utility as a tool to reach audiences is trumped by its influence on the collective media narrative. And political strategists have been quick to catch on.

2 Dont botherTheHappyHammer | 18/07/2008 | See all TheHappyHammer's reviews (9)I dont normally like pool games but I gave this a try. Even for the most die hard pool fans, dont bother with this one.mediocre Twitchy controls and poor presentation eclipse what little fun there is to be had with this game.Good selection of pool games but easy to misfire. Sound is also poor.
1 Worst game on Wii!OzBoy1 | 09/02/2009 | See all OzBoy1's reviews (1)The equivalent Jimmy White game on PS2 felt as near as possible to playing the real game, but this is awful. Game play is hit and miss, in fact to get it to work you feel you are boxing more than playing pool! Selecting a colour ball in snooker mode is just plain daft. Waste of money.
1 Pool Partyskyjade | 24/07/2008 | See all skyjade's reviews (1)This is not a full game of pool you get additional items ie pool que, different tables but you cannot save these items you cannot save any games balls putted by your computer opponant are virtual impossibilities to perform. not a good game at all.

I received a full-size as a GWP before I went on holiday ad used it everyday to exfoliate after the beach. It is a great body scrub. I don't like their sugar-based scrubs as they melt away and don't exfoliate so well, therefore I much prefer this one. Expensive like all Body Shop products, but the jar lasts a long time.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great body scrub, with a delicious smell (that stays for hours on the skin as well as in the bathroom). I like that it's not sugar based, as these ones are actually good, but a waste of money (you can do something like that in your kitchen). I guess it uses actual seeds to do the scrubbing. Leaves the skin feeling very moisturized.
This is a really nice scrub. The granules are very gentle, and they leave your skin soft and smooth. The smell is great because it's not overpowering. I have so many Body Shop scrubs thanks to my sister, but I would repurchase again if I ever get around to using all of them.

Very good scrub inded... leaves my skin feeling smooth and comfortable. Wished theres more chocolate smell to it though
I like this scrub--it's nice and gentle and doesn't make the shower slippery. I don't love it for 2 reasons :(1) it doesn't smell like chocolate and (2) it isn't moisturizing.
More reviews by CaramelCityStar
This is the best scrub I've ever used. First I wash with Dove using a lofa, then I rinse and apply a small amount of this all over my body. When I rinse I'm EXTRA SMOOTH! I follow with TBS vitamin E body butter and I am amazed everytime at how soft and smooth my skin becomes. I'm addicted now which may be a problem since its $20 for this little jar; hence the missing lippie. I appreciate the quality it just lacks quantity. Will def buy again and again!
Smells like creamy cocoa, great creamy consistency, isn't too harsh but leaves skin smooth and moisturized. Best of TBS scrubs so far.
Nice exfoliating scrub that leaves skin polished and a little moisturized, but not greasy in any way.
This product is one I'm glad to have tried! While I was using this, my then-boyfriend couldn't stop commenting on my skin, telling me he couldn't believe how smooth and soft it was! If you're looking for something grainy and not too oily, this one's a winner.
Fantastic product! I have dry skin so I really needed a good product to exfoliate all those dead skin cells away. This product not only did just that, but it also left my skin very moisturized. I found this to be very gritty so it really scrubbed all those dead cells away. I would definitely repurchase.

Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1), identified by positional cloning of a balanced translocation (1;11) with the breakpoint in intron 8 of a large Scottish pedigree, is associated with a range of neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. To model this mutation in mice, we have generated Disc1(tr) transgenic mice expressing 2 copies of truncated Disc1 encoding the first 8 exons using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). With this partial simulation of the human situation, we have discovered a range of phenotypes including a series of novel features not previously reported. Disc1(tr) transgenic mice display enlarged lateral ventricles, reduced cerebral cortex, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and thinning of layers II/III with reduced neural proliferation at midneurogenesis. Parvalbumin GABAergic neurons are reduced in the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex, and displaced in the dorsolateral frontal cortex. In culture, transgenic neurons grow fewer and shorter neurites. Behaviorally, transgenic mice exhibit increased immobility and reduced vocalization in depression-related tests, and impairment in conditioning of latent inhibition. These abnormalities in Disc1(tr) transgenic mice are consistent with findings in severe schizophrenia.

text: Hi Everyone, I could use some help troubleshooting the latest development version of the LiveCD. My time at the moment is limited as work is very demanding just now. Anyway, the latest build will not boot for me, it always ends in a kernel panic due to the fact that it can't locate the drive with the LFS CD in it. At first glance everything seems to be fine, the kernel recognizes all the CD drives, etc. However, (and this might be a telling point) the kernel messages at boot-time are different than I've ever seen them. So it seems possible that with the kernel upgrade to 188.8.131.52 I enabled some option(s) that I shouldn't have. In any case, as my time is limited right now, I would very much appreciate any help on this problem. You can find the iso in question here: http://lfs-matrix.de/~jhuntwork/lfslivecd-x86-6.2-pre1.iso TIA, -- JH

When Joker won the Pentecost Grand Prix in Lebanon as the improbable longshot in the1960s, the Arabian horse brought owner Bassim Halwani national coverage and made himself a household name. Now Halwani and his son Fadi are doing the same in the United States as Thoroughbred owners under the name Joker Racing LLC. After starting off slowly when they first returned to horse racing three years ago, they are driving up their wins and leading the owner standings for the 2014 Calder Meet at Calder Casino & Race Course.
Joker was the most successful horse Bassim ever owned, racing 19 times and winning 15 of those starts.
"He was a super horse," said Bassim. "He used to beat the giants. He held the record for the 2,000 meter in Lebanon. Nobody could beat it."
From the very inception of the horse's name, Joker established a unique bond between father and son, becoming the moniker for their owner name in the U.S. – Joker Racing – honoring the star horse's memory.
"My father took me to the barn one day and asked me to name a horse he had just bought," said Fadi. "I must have been about six years old at the time. While small in stature, Joker was all about heart and determination. One of his most memorable races was a head-to-head contest with the prohibitive favorite Arabi at the 1967 2,000 meter Pentecost Grand Prix. Both horses took off leaving the rest of the field some 15 lengths behind. Joker ended up being declared the winner by a nose, and as the saying goes, 'The crowd went absolutely wild.' You never forget moments of excitement like these. Having Joker was a privilege, and the memory of his indomitable spirit lives on through Joker Racing."
Bassim spent much of the 1950s through the 1970s as a horseman in Lebanon, first enjoying the game on his own and then later with his son.
"I love horses as well as horse racing, the anticipation and the ability to predict a winner is what drives my passion," said Bassim. "I've been doing this since I was 17 years old. It's in my blood. My family was against it, but hey, I'm stubborn. I had horses actively racing in Lebanon even while I was studying aeronautical engineering at Tri-State University in Angola, Indiana. Having racehorses was fun and glamorous; it opened doors for me in Lebanon. Wherever I went, I was welcomed because I was a horseman. People always wanted tips to play on Saturdays and Sundays, which I was always happy to give."
"That's probably what seduced my father into racing," said Fadi in regards to the family home where Bassim grew up, which was built across the street from the racetrack and faced the grandstand. "The excitement was palpable as waves of explosive cheers would flood the air on the half hour every Saturday and Sunday afternoons. I got a taste of that as I grew up while visiting my grandparents' home on weekends."
As Fadi grew up he was also able to ride his father's horses on occasions, galloping in company in the sand dunes. When the family moved to the United States in the 1979 because of the Civil War in Lebanon, they left everything behind, including their involvement with horses, to start their lives from scratch in a new country. It wasn't until three years ago when Fadi was talking to an acquaintance who happened to own racehorses at Calder that the Halwanis were reintroduced to the horse racing business – this time with Thoroughbreds.
"He said, 'Well, if you'd like to give it a try here, I can always introduce you to some people on the track," said Fadi. "I suggested that to my father around his 80th birthday, and his face lit up at the prospect. Before we knew it we had a barn full of horses."
The idea of returning to the sport that he had a passion for decades ago ignited a spark in Bassim that he once had for the game but had remained dormant while the family transitioned from life in Lebanon to the U.S. and he worked as an engineer. While the Halwanis returned to the game with enthusiasm, their victories did not come easily, and success did not truly come until this year, when all of the pieces fell into place for Joker Racing.
The Halwanis' first faced a challenge in their new endeavor, entering a game with a different breed of horse and a different system and structure of racing than that in Lebanon. At the beginning, they mainly purchased horses that had never before raced, then eventually transitioned into claiming horses, which has brought them their success. Now, with a few broodmares in addition to the claimed horses that they race, they are looking to expand their business and enter the world of breeding to have some homegrown horses to call their own.
"We were not successful at the beginning until we found the right trainers, and everything clicked," said Fadi. "With their help we realized that the stock we had at the time was not conducive to success. We gave a few horses away to start new careers and retired a few while claiming new replacements. We eventually rebuilt the team in its entirety except for Glacken Road. You generally have to pay a price to learn a new business and unfortunately this was no different."
"There is a big lesson to be learned in this success story – a lesson in perseverance and positive attitude," said Fadi of his father. "Here is a man who in his 80s decided to start a new venture and who, while repeatedly facing failure, never wavered and always believed that he could win. If it wasn't for him, I would have probably jumped ship when things got really bad. I am humbled and appreciative of the lesson."
Joker Racing persevered and has now reached the top, coming from winless in its first season of racing back in 2011 to 21 wins so far in 2014, placing Joker Racing at the top of the leading owner rankings for the 2014 Calder meet.
Joker Racing first raced in 2011, going winless in six starts. The ownership progressed to 12 wins from 77 starts in 2012 and advanced to 16 wins from 125 starts in 2013. From 2011-2013 Joker Racing also started horses in partnerships, collecting seven wins from 36 among four different listing partnerships. Joker Racing already surpassed its' yearly career high having amassed 21 victories from 88 starts this year through June 27. All 21 wins came at Calder, giving Joker Racing a four-win advantage over St. George Stable, LLC and Lady Luck Stable, who are tied in second with 17 wins apiece. Joker Racing is now making a name for itself just like its namesake did way back when.
One of Joker Racing's most successful horses this year has been the 4-year-old filly Don'tcallmecharley, whom Joker Racing claimed last November at Calder. She won five starts from eight races at Calder in 2014. The 4-year-old filly Glacken Road, as well as the 4-year-old filly My House and the 4-year-old gelding Belief System, are a few of the other horses who have contributed to Joker Racing's wins this year to help the Halwanis' reach the top of the owner standings.
"By February we decided we were going for number one," said Bassim.
Fadi added, "When we realized that we had a chance of becoming leading owner we pushed harder and upped our efforts. It has been our trainers Tommy and Lisa Schell's resolute commitment to reach this goal in honor of my father, and I cannot thank them and the barn crew enough for that."
Helped by Joker Racing's 21 wins, Schell is leading his own standings with 24 training victories. He is one victory ahead of trainer Christos Gatis, who has 21 wins. Many of Gatis' wins came for Lady Luck.
The Halwanis have based their horses at Calder since starting to race Thoroughbreds in the U.S. and first started working with the Schell's toward the end of last year. While Bassim spends many mornings at the track watching horses train and attending the races every time his horses hit the track, Fadi, 53, comes to the races as much as he can while juggling his multiple Internet businesses and product line for horses.
In Lebanon as a young owner, Bassim made it a point to hold his horses for their winner's photo whenever they won races. Now 83, Bassim continues to show his love for his horses by walking them into the winner's circle with gusto practically every race they win.
"There is no sense having somebody else walking them when you own them," said Bassim. "You might as well do it yourself. Hopefully the horsemen will catch up with it and then start doing it here. That's the beauty of it."
The passion, love, and devotion for the sport brought the Halwanis' into the game and back to it again, and is where they plan to be for the foreseeable future.
"Winning the top honor of leading owner for the Calder meet would be of great pride to Joker Racing," said Fadi. "The title would serve as a reward for our determination to stick with the game despite the lack of early success. The honor would also serve as proof that no matter what obstacles one faces in life or the challenges that arise along the way, the difficulties can be overcome to reach ultimate satisfaction."
