26 Lightning Cosplayers (FFXIII) (PICS)
As the main character in Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning wormed her way into the fantasies of many a nerd because she's hot, has great hair and a rifle sword thing and because she has the body of a 14-year-old. I, on the other hand, liked her because she's a strong female character, a fact that would have ruined the typical nerd fantasy were it not for, again, the fact that she has the legs of a lanky high school freshman. Here are some ladies pretending to be Lightning, and most of them got the hair color wrong.

Danzer is a wood processing company focusing on the top-quality segment. We process high-quality logs into beautiful, fine veneer and decorative sawn timber. Wood species suitable for decorative uses are a scarce raw material and must be put to the best-possible use. Danzer experts appraise the quality of every log. Only high-quality logs verified legal sources are used in our production. Danzer uses state-of-the-art technology and equipment to guarantee the best-possible utilization of this valuable raw material.
Danzer operates five veneer factories in Europe, North America and Africa, making it the world's largest manufacturer of decorative veneer. Depending on the region they come from, only between 1 and 5 percent of all trees in a forest are suitable for being made into high-quality veneer. This product is used in a wide variety of sectors, such as the furniture and door industry, in automobile, boat and aircraft building, as well as interior decoration and shop fitting.
In the recent years, Danzer has laid the foundation for a more attractive offering and even closer partnership with customers. We offer customized, user-friendly preparation of veneer and close coordination between production and purchase operations. We have enhanced the quality of our products through the implementation of innovative manufacturing technology. Customers who process veneer benefit from this innovation through higher yields, which reduce the costs of the finished wood surfaces.
Lumber production is Danzer's other important business division. Here too, the company concentrates on lumber as high-value material used for decorative purposes. Danzer is counted among the leading producers of hardwood lumber in North America. The company runs three sawmills, which are equipped with high-tech optimization and grading systems and ensure a consistent product. Our sawmills are located specifically in areas where high-value hardwoods are growing. This means we can offer products from the prime growing areas of the respective species.
Only a very small percentage of the available logs meet Danzer's highest-quality standards and are suitable for our veneer and lumber production. This is why Danzer also deals in timber products. Danzer's trading activities involve high-quality hardwoods. The company carries all of the most important wood species available from tropical as well as temperate forests. With our extensive inventory, we can supply customers with practically any kind of hardwood they ask for. Danzer also buys and manages its own forests to secure a long-term supply of high-quality woods. Forest regeneration is key to ensuring a secure supply of quality trees for future production.
Our forest management is sustainable and value-oriented. We concentrate on those trees with the highest long-term quality potential. We perform extensive forest inventories of trees and animals, and build roads or bridges. Our projects are laid out for time periods of 20 to 40 years.
Danzer's wooden surface, Vinterio, combines the beauty and quality of genuine wood with new and unique appearances and offers an almost unlimited number of individual, exclusive surface designs. Vinterio is made completely from selected high-quality woods and brings out the beauty of natural wood in a brand-new way. At the same time, this wooden surface can be repeated with a similar look. With its own divisions in North America and Europe, Danzer keeps a close eye on the needs of its markets. Vinterio can always offer the right product to every customer. Modern production facilities in Darlington, Penn., in the United States, and in Melnik, the Czech Republic, manufacture Vinterio.
Three dimensional (3D) veneer from Danzer's subsidiary Danzer Deutschland opens new and unique opportunities in the processing of wooden surfaces. 3D veneer can be moulded three-dimensionality without cracking. This has not been possible previously due to technical constraints imposed by the material wood. 3D veneer mouldings are extremely stable to breakage or bending. The wood's structure as well as the veneer's texture are retained in the process.
3D veneer is produced by Danzer Deutschland in Kesselsdorf (near Dresden, Germany) on an industrial scale. More than 100 different products with 3D veneer have been introduced around the world in recent years - above all in the furniture industry for chairs and rounded furniture fronts as well as in the automotive industry for use in vehicle interiors.

|Hiked Sawteeth 4100' as my first Adirondack High Peak. Hiked in from Lake Road and then proceeded on the Trail to Gothics after crossing the river near the Lower Ausable Dam. Took us around 8.5 hours traveling a total of around 12 miles. The last 800 feet to the summit was still covered in at least 2 feet of snow and made the trip much harder due to our lack of proper equipment in certain steep and icey sections. The summit had a great view of Gothics but not much else. Sawteeth was a good first hike.

The Daily Camera reports ( http://bit.ly/WfA6bp) that a jury Friday convicted George Ruibal of second-degree murder following seven hours of deliberations. Ruibal faces 16 to 48 years in prison at sentencing scheduled for Jan. 10.
Prosecutors say Ruibal beat Dana Pechin in December 2007 and then took care of her until she died of her injuries. Police didn't arrest Ruibal until he was indicted by a Boulder County grand jury in April 2011.
Ruibal had reported that he and a co-worker found Pechin dead under a blanket.
Authorities later determined that Pechin died from a closed head injury associated with manual strangulation.

Breast Cancer (BRCA) Gene Test
Test Overview
A breast cancer (BRCA) gene test is a blood test to check for specific changes (mutations) in genes that help control normal cell growth. Finding changes in these genes, called BRCA1 and BRCA2, can help determine your chance of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. A BRCA gene test does not test for cancer itself. This test is only done for people with a strong family history of breast cancer or ovarian cancer, and sometimes for those who already have one of these diseases. Genetic counseling before and after a BRCA test is very important to help you understand the benefits, risks, and possible outcomes of the test.
A woman's risk of breast and ovarian cancer is higher if she has BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes. Men with these gene changes have an increased risk of breast cancer. And both men and women with these changes may be at an increased risk for other cancers. The gene changes can be inherited from either your mother's or father's side of the family.
Certain people have a higher chance of inheriting BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes.1
- Ashkenazi Jewish women (whose ancestors
came from Eastern Europe) are more likely to be BRCA gene carriers.
Some experts recommend gene tests for women who are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent
if they have one or both of the following:
- Any first-degree relative with breast or ovarian cancer at age 50 or younger. First-degree relatives are parents, sisters and brothers, and children.
- Two second-degree relatives on the same side of the family with breast or ovarian cancer. Second-degree relatives are aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and grandparents.
- If you are not of Ashkenazi Jewish descent,
some experts recommend a gene test if you have one or more of the
- Two first-degree relatives with breast cancer, one of whom was diagnosed before age 50
- Three or more first- or second-degree relatives with breast cancer, diagnosed at any age
- Both breast and ovarian cancer among your first- and second-degree relatives
- A first-degree relative with cancer in both breasts
- Two or more relatives with ovarian cancer
- One relative with both breast and ovarian cancer
- A male relative with breast cancer
If you don't meet any of these criteria, you are not likely to have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change. Only about 2 out of 100 adult women have an increased risk of having a BRCA gene change.2

|Breast Cancer Risk: Should I Have a BRCA Gene Test?
|Breast Cancer: What Should I Do if I'm at High Risk?
Why It Is Done
If your family history or personal history indicates a high chance for breast cancer, a BRCA gene test is done to check your chance of developing this cancer.
A BRCA gene test does not test for cancer itself. It is used to help women who have a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer find out if their chance is high enough to think about prevention measures before cancer develops. These measures include:
- Having screening tests (such as clinical breast exams, mammograms, and MRIs) more often and starting them at an earlier age.
- Taking medicines such as tamoxifen or raloxifene.
- Having a preventive mastectomy.
- Having their ovaries removed (oophorectomy).
Men with a family history of BRCA changes also may want to be tested to find their chance of breast cancer.
For a woman who has ovarian cancer, or for a man or a woman who has breast cancer, results from a BRCA gene test can help other family members know their chances of these and perhaps other cancers. If the person with breast or ovarian cancer has normal BRCA gene test results, family members probably would not benefit from the BRCA genetic test.
How To Prepare
Genetic counseling is strongly recommended before and after a BRCA test to help you understand the benefits, risks, and possible outcomes of the test. A BRCA test gives you the chance to make informed medical and lifestyle decisions. Genetic counselors are trained to talk with you about the test and its results, including the medical information and your emotional concerns.
This test may cause you some worry, both before and after the test. Talk with a genetic counselor before the test to help you prepare for and cope with this worry. Think about what you may do if your test is positive. For example, would you consider any prevention measures, such as the following:
- For breast cancer: A yearly mammogram and/or an MRI, a clinical breast exam at regular times, preventive mastectomy (removal of both breasts), having your ovaries removed, taking a medicine (tamoxifen), or having your children before age 30
- For ovarian cancer: Having your ovaries removed (oophorectomy) after you are done having children, or after age 35
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, or how it will be done. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
No other special preparation is needed before you have this test.
How It Is Done
The health professional drawing blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Apply a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Apply pressure to the site and then a bandage.
How It Feels
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
It is common to worry before a BRCA test and while waiting for its results.
There is very little chance of a problem from having a blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. To treat this, you can use a warm compress several times a day.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
Some women may be worried about the test results and how it will affect their life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance.
A breast cancer (BRCA) gene test is a blood test to check your chance of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Test results may take several weeks.
Normal (called negative)
No changes were found in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
A negative result and your overall family risk must be considered together.
- If a family member has a known BRCA change, other family members may want to be tested.
- If your family member with breast or ovarian cancer tests negative for BRCA changes, you probably don't carry those changes, either. In this case, you have the same chance of cancer as that of the general public, based on your age and personal and family history.
Only about 5% to 10% of breast and ovarian cancers are linked to the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change. If you have a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, you may still have a higher chance of developing breast cancer even if you have a negative BRCA result. Other gene changes are possible that make cancer more likely.
Abnormal (called positive)
BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes are present.
Women who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes have about a 35% to 84% chance of developing breast cancer and between a 20% and 40% chance of developing ovarian cancer during their lifetimes.1, 3 These numbers show a wide range of chance and depend on your other personal and family history.
Men with BRCA1 changes have a higher risk of breast cancer and possibly other cancers, such as pancreatic, testicular, or prostate cancer. Men with BRCA2 changes have an increased risk of breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers.1
Uncertain (called variant of uncertain significance or VUS)
This result may mean that a gene change is present but it is difficult for your doctor to know if the change is important and if it changes your chances of developing cancer.
What Affects the Test
Your doctor will talk with you about anything that may stop you from having the test or that may change the test results.
What To Think About
There are several important things to think about when you are making the decision to have a BRCA gene test.
- If you have a strong family history of breast cancer, a negative BRCA result does not mean that you will not develop breast cancer. BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene changes do cause a higher chance of breast cancer. But other gene changes are possible and may cause cancer.
- If you have a family member with breast cancer, think about asking the family member to be tested for a gene change before you have a test. If your family member's BRCA tests results are negative, it usually is not helpful to test the rest of the family.
- Most insurance companies will cover the cost of genetic testing for those who meet the conditions for testing.
- The discovery of a genetic disease that is not causing symptoms now (such as breast cancer) should not affect your future ability to gain employment or health insurance coverage. A law in the United States, called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), protects people who have DNA differences that may affect their health.

- The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) does not recommend BRCA testing for women who do not have family risk factors.2
- For women from families that do not have risk factors for BRCA changes, a genetic test is not likely to give any useful information about their chance of developing breast cancer. Women from average-risk families rarely have a positive test. A BRCA gene test is not recommended for a person without risk factors, because the test can give a false-positive test result.

FLOR story – Oh, how happy
Posted by FLOR | Filed under Favorite Posts, FLOR Stories, Musings
We LOVE when our customers are excited about FLOR. After searching high and low for a new rug this customer found FLOR to be her perfect solution. She used Toy Poodle to transform her spacious living space into a cozy place for her child to play.
Hello Flor,
Oh, how happy I am with my flor carpet/rug concoction… I have these lovely hardwood floors, curse the hardwood, I love carpet, and I have been looking for a rug for about 5 months. I need something that is around 16 feet long by 8 feet, and felt unhappy about purchasing a brand new rug, simply because after a house remodel where you inevitably end up having to buy many things new, I was looking into these color reform rugs where artisian rugs are redyed… but they were about $14,000 dollars!! So for a long time I had nothing. Then I saw your website, saw that the rug squares were 38% post industrial recycled materials, and that your company is committed to reducing your impact on the environment and I was sold on a ´new´ rug product. I decided to order 20 squares to start with, and see how it looks. I whipped it down in no time, and now I am so happy with it, I am definitely going to get the other 30 squares. I love how it makes the fact that toys are on the floor look great, like, hey this family has kids who plays! yay!
Very happy, thanks, Flor!

Jim Comparoni
Two weeks after visiting Michigan State, junior college defensive tackle Kyle Peko says his visit to East Lansing helped the Spartans' chances of landing him, but he's not in a hurry to make a decision.Peko said on Thursday that he will visit Utah and Boise State in addition to Nebraska. Earlier this month, there were indications that Boise State would not get a visit from the 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive lineman, but Peko is now leaving the Broncos room to get in."Michigan State was my first official visit but I'm planning to take more, probably after my season in December," Peko said. "I'm planning to visit Nebraska, Utah and Boise State."He said the visit to Michigan State impressed him."It was awesome," he said. "I had a great time. I liked everything. All the coaches, I got to meet them and see what they were like, and the players were all great."It was just what he expected."I had an idea of what to expect because I know Fou Fonoti and I stay in contact with him a little bit and he keeps me updated with what's going on in the program," Peko said. Fonoti attended the same junior college as Peko, who is a standout at Cerritos (Calif.) Community College. Fonoti is out for the season with a lower body injury."Fou is staying positive about the whole thing and has been good to talk to," Peko said. "While I was there, I did the academic tours, toured the campus, toured the football facilities, everything."The coach I talked to the most was probably Coach Gill," Peko said in reference to defensive line coach Ted Gill. "He talked about the the d-line schemes and where he would see me fitting in, and if I came there I would have a chance to compete for some kind of playing time."Does Gill see him as a defensive tackle?"He seems me all around the line," Peko said. "They like my speed off the line."That speed has led Cerritos to move Peko out to defensive end in recent weeks as part of a 4-3 scheme. "I just got moved out there, so I'm trying to work on my technique on the outside," he said. "They put me out there just cause they like the speed on the outside."Peko had two sacks and eight tackles recently against Los Angeles Harbor. Peko is the cousin of former Spartans Tupe Peko and Domata Peko. Tupe played for Michigan State in 1999 and 2000, under Nick Saban and Bobby Williams when Mark Dantonio was defensive backs coach for the Spartans. Tupe has reconnected with MSU in recent years, and spent some time with his cousin, Fonoti, last December when the Spartans were in Peko's current hometown of Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game. Domata Peko played at Michigan State under John L. Smith. Both Pekos are still supportive of the Spartans, and of their younger cousin, Kyle."I talk to them a little and once I got offered, they were hitting me up pretty hard about Michigan State," Peko said. Tupe recommended MSU to Domata, saying the competition in the Big Ten helped Tupe prepare himself for an NFL career. But Pekos played in the NFL. Domata is currently a standout with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kyle Peko is not related to Fonoti, but they have been friends for a while."I knew Fou previously, and his little brother, Filo, is on my team right now," Peko said.Filo is being recruited as a d-tackle by Hawaii and Utah State.Peko said the distance to East Lansing "is not a factor at all."Peko attended high school at La Habra High, located in Orange County. When asked if the visit helped MSU's chances, he said, "Yeah. It was a great time, a great experience."Peko said he will graduate early from Cerritos and be available for spring practice at the school of his choice.As for the schools he is still considering, he had the following to say about each:Nebraska: "I'm looking for playing time and they are talking about how I could come in and play right away."Boise State: "I know a few players that went to my high school that play there and they say good things about the program so I'm going to look into that and the coaches seem cool, and the same thing about playing early."Utah: "The same thing about playing early."Michigan State is tight on scholarship slots, but the Spartans made it clear that Peko has a committable offer. But MSU is not pressuring him."I definitely have one," Peko said. "They just want it to be my choice." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

The Majestic is a car featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Majestic is a 1980s two-door coupe based on a 1982-1987 Buick Regal. The car performance is ranked in a mid range; although its top speed is slightly above average, its acceleration and braking are generally average, and its cornering is relatively stable given its rear wheel drive.
The Majestic is one of two gang cars driven by members of the Ballas. However, it is not the best choice for performing drive-bys, as it is a two door car - meaning that only one gang member can accompany the player. The Majestic has low sex appeal.
The car can only be modified at TransFender garage:
- Colors (two external areas)
- Hood Vents (two varieties)
- Exhaust (three varieties)
- Nitro (all)
- Spoilers (four varieties)
- Side Skirt
- Wheels (ten varieties)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
- The default radio station in the Majestic is Bounce FM.
- The car appears on the mission High Stakes, Low Rider, but the car isn't a lowrider.
- The Majestic's name is a play on the word "Regal".
- The Majestic is one of the few cars in the game to have 1 exhaust pipe showing, but 2 smoke streams coming out the back.
- Two unique colors of the Majestic yellow and blue in the mission, High Stakes, Low Rider.
- This was the beta name of Faction in GTA IV
- The Majestic can usually be found in Ballas turf, but after the player has acquired all of the Ballas' turf via gang wars, the Majestic becomes extremely rare, only spawning indefinitely in one location in Los Santos, specifically, in the parking lot under the Mulholland Intersection in Downtown Los Santos. This is not a great loss, however, since it is a fairly average car, and is not one of the cars requested by the Easter Basin docks in San Fierro.
- A flame-proof Majestic can be found during the mission High Stakes, Low Rider.

- Faction, similar car in GTA IV that fills the place of Majestic.
- The Majestic Hotel, is a building in GTA IV.

Boehner told reporters outside his Capitol Hill office Friday that the president needs to get serious with the combination of tax hikes and cuts set to kick in after the first of the year.

Boehner called White House aides' comments that Obama was willing to go over the cliff "reckless talk."
Obama and Boehner spoke privately on Wednesday. The speaker called the phone call pleasant but unproductive.

As the year swiftly draws towards the end, it is entirely natural for pundits and fans of sports to reflect on the kind of year it has been for local sports.
One negative highlight of the year that particularly stands out was our abysmal performance at the All Africa games in Maputo earlier this year.
Indeed, prior to the games there had been shoddy preparations on the part of our contingent for the event and so it was not surprising that we did so poorly at the sporting extravaganza.
The only saving grace from this tale of woe was the sterling performance of our women's netball team, who impressively managed to win the silver medal in spite of stiff opposition from heavyweights of African women's netball. In football, the year saw a mixed bag of highs and lows.
One of the pleasant memories was Yanga winning the Cecafa Club Cup, riding roughshod over the crème de la crème of East African Club football.
However, arguably though, football was mainly dominated by negative headlines this year. For instance, in the first round of the 2011/2012 Mainland Premier league, Yanga unceremoniously sacked the coach, Sam Timbe who had steered them to regional success earlier in the year.
Not to be outdone by their rivals, Simba followed suit and sacked their Ugandan coach, Moses Basena, even though at the time they were comfortably perched atop the apex of the league. Indeed, the mind boggles as to what the country's two strongest clubs were trying to achieve with the dismissals of their respective coaches.
To complete this sad picture for football, the Kilimanjaro Stars failed to successfully defend the Cecafa Challenge cup title that they so admirably won on home soil last year.
This time around, the Kilimanjaro stars were the host team once again but they failed to rise to the occasion, finishing only fourth in the prestigious championship. Thankfully though, there was much more encouraging news from women's cricket, where the national Under 19 team won the African women's Under 19 T20 championship just a few weeks ago.
Indeed, in a sport which is often dismissed by many in the country, this is a welcome heartening development, which hopefully is a sign of greater and better things to come.
Thus, as we revel in the festive season, let us look ahead to 2012 with hope, expectation and the faith that it will be a great year for local sports and an even better, fruitful one for us in our individual lives.
Happy Holidays to all sports fans.

- "You must protect them. You're the only one who can!"
- ―Master Luwin to Osha, regarding Bran and Rickon Stark
Osha is a recurring character in the first, second and third seasons. She is played by guest star Natalia Tena and debuts in "A Golden Crown." Osha is a woman of the Free Folk (a "wildling"), now in service to House Stark of Winterfell. Osha is currently escorting Rickon Stark to Last Hearth to seek refuge with House Umber.
Osha is a wildling spearwife, one of the "Free Folk" who live north of the Wall. Like other wildlings, she worships the Old Gods of the Forest.[1] Due to the rising threat of the White Walkers and their undead wights, Osha fled south of the Wall with a group of other wildlings, hoping to go "as far south as south goes".[2] They bypassed the wall by taking a boat across the Bay of Seals, to the east of the Wall.[3]
Season 1
Osha joined Stiv and Wallen to form a band of wildlings. They fled south and abandoned their service to Mance Rayder. The group crossed the Wall and travelled into the Wolfswood north of Winterfell. They chanced upon Bran Stark and try to steal his horse. Robb Stark intervened, killing Wallen and taking Osha prisoner. Stiv held Bran at knifepoint, but was shot in the back by Theon Greyjoy. Osha surrendered to Robb and was taken to Winterfell.[4]
Osha was put to work as a servant. Theon is irritated when she refused to call him "My lord," especially when she correctly pointed out that his father is still alive so he is not entitled to the honorific title yet. Maester Luwin sent Theon away and asks Osha why she was south of the Wall. She replied that there were things sleeping under the ice which are not sleeping any more. Luwin is skeptical of her claims.[5]
Osha goes to Winterfell's godswood to pray to the Old Gods of the Forest, and found Bran there. She tells him that north of the Wall, the old gods are the only gods. She also says that Robb was leading his army in the wrong direction. The true enemy lay to the north, beyond the Wall, not the south. When Hodor passed by naked, Osha remarks he must have giants' blood in him, and tells Bran that giants - and worse - exist north of the Wall.[6]
Bran dreamt that he saw his father Ned in the catacombs of Winterfell. Osha carried Bran into the tombs to check. Once inside they are surprised by Shaggydog and found Rickon there too: he had experienced the same dream as well. When they emerge from the tomb Luwin told the boys that their father has been killed.[7]
Season 2
Osha continued to discuss Bran Stark's strange dreams with him. He denied having had any more but nevertheless insists on being taken to the pool in the Godswood. She correctly predicted that the Red Comet signified the return of Dragons to the world.[8] Bran told Osha that he has dreamt of seeing a Three-eyed raven but she offered no explanation. He also confided that he had experienced a dream about the sea coming to Winterfell and drowning Ser Rodrik Cassel. Ser Rodrik left Winterfell to relieve a siege of nearby Torrhen's Square by unknown forces.[9]
The siege was in reality a feint orchestrated by Theon Greyjoy to draw away Winterfell's defenders. Theon infiltrated and seized the castle forcing Bran to surrender and yield Winterfell to him. Later, Osha offered to fight for Theon but he refused, suspecting treachery. Osha was also present with Bran and Rickon when Theon personally executed Ser Rodrik in public. She comforted the boys and told Bran that his dream has come true.
Later that night, She seduced Theon, claiming that she wanted her freedom. While he sleeps she freed Bran, Rickon, and Hodor escaped with them. She murdered the guard Drennan as they make their exit.[10] They walked to a shepherd's farm in the Stark lands. They consider approaching the farmer for food. Theon tracked them to the farm using hounds and then loses their scent. He returns to Winterfell with the charred corpses of two boys, claiming they are Bran and Rickon. He made no mention of Osha and Hodor.[11] The escapees actually doubled back, using a stream to mask their scent and were hiding under Theon's nose in the crypts of Winterfell. Luwin spotted Osha smuggling bread into the catacombs and followed her. She explained their escape and Luwin told her that the bodies must be those of the orphan farmhands. She promised not to tell the boys, agreeing that they have suffered enough.[12]
Later, Roose Bolton's bastard son Ramsay Bolton launched a siege of Winterfell. Theon was betrayed by his own men who turned him in return for safe passage to the Iron Islands. However, Ramsay reneged on his promise and had them flayed alive. He then took Theon prisoner and sacked Winterfell, killing many of its inhabitants and sacking much of the castle.[13] Since they were hiding under the catacombs, Osha, Bran, Rickon and Hodor managed to evade capture. Before leaving Winterfell for the north, Osha encountered a dying Maester Luwin and used a dagger upon his request to give him the "gift of mercy". Luwin instructed Osha to escort Bran and Rickon to the Wall so that they can find their half-brother, Jon Snow. Osha agreed and left Winterfell with Hodor, Bran, Rickon and their direwolves.[14]
Season 3
Fleeing from Winterfell, Bran's group encountered Jojen and Meera Reed. Jojen approaches their camp unarmed but Osha sneaked up on him with a sharpened stake. However, she was surprised by his sister Meera who had snuck up behind her, and held a knife to her throat. Bran insisted that everyone calm down. Jojen claimed that he received greensight visions which told him where to find Bran, and that he would need their help. The group continued to travel north to Castle Black, as Maestr Luwin instructed, hopefully to find Jon Snow.[15]
Fueled by the long animosity of the Northerners and Free Folk towards each other, Osha and Meera get into an argument about which of them can skin a rabbit better, which turns to who is doing the hunting, to arguing about who trusts who. Bran again tells them to make peace. Jojen then starts shaking violently in his sleep, and Meera holds down his tongue with a cord so he doesn't bite himself. She explains that the visions take their toll. Osha dislikes this, thinking it is black magic. On waking, Jojen says that he saw Jon Snow - and that he isn't at Castle Black, but on the north side of the Wall, and surrounded by enemies.[16]
Osha's pent-up frustration comes to a head, and she says she doesn't want Jojen influencing Bran with black magic anymore. Bran explains that because Jojen's vision said Jon Snow isn't even at Castle Black, they shouldn't head there anymore. Instead, Bran and Jojen believe that the Three-eyed raven in his dreams is leading him Beyond the Wall, so they should head directly north to the structure, instead of turning to head to Castle Black. Bran says that he believes that maybe the gods meant for him to find the three-eyed raven, meant for him to have these visions, and ultimately, his fall from the tower that crippled him happened for a reason. Osha is outraged and says she will never go back north of he Wall again.[17]
Osha then explained to them the reason she fled south of the Wall. She once had a husband named Bruni, a good man who loved her. One day he disappeared, and everyone said he'd simply left her, but she knew him better than that. One night he did return to their hut - as an undead wight, with skin pale as a dead man's and his eyes bluer than clear sky. Brune began to choke her. Somehow she managed to get hold of a knife, and rammed it deep into his heart, but he didn't even seem to notice. Osha ultimately managed to get away by burning down their hut with Brune inside it. She didn't ask the gods for that, she says, but their message was clear: north of the Wall is no place for living men to be anymore.[18]
Eventually, Osha and her masters reached The Gift, a region south of the Wall which was considered to be beyond the borders of the Seven Kingdoms. The Gift had been gifted to the Night's Watch thousands of years ago by Brandon the Builder, from which the Watch draws support for its material needs. While the region was fertile, it was uninhabited due to frequent Wildling attacks which had forced the Smallfolk to migrate south over the centuries. Bran's discussion of this history and Rickon's remarks about Wildlings drinking blood caused Osha some discomfort since she was a Free Folk. That evening, the party took shelter at an abandoned mill to escape a thunderstorm. Later, the group observed a band of Wildlings chasing down a lone Northman. During the ensuing incident, Bran used his Warg powers to Warg through Summer and Shaggydog and fight off the Wildlings. This party of Wildlings included Rickon's half-brother Jon Snow, who earlier had been taken captive by the Free Folk. Using his Warg abilities, Bran helped Snow to escape from his captors and return to the Night's Watch.[19]
Later that night, Bran arranged for Osha to bring Rickon to the holdfast of Greatjon Umber, the Lord of Last Hearth and the head of House Umber. Lord Umber was a loyal ally of the Starks. While Rickon was upset to be separated from his brother, he realized this was for his own good and cooperated with Bran and Osha. This arrangement also suited Osha because she was unwilling to travel with Bran and company due to the threat posed by the White Walkers. During their journey to Greatjon Umber, Rickon and Osha were accompanied by the former's direwolf Shaggydog. Meanwhile, Bran, Hodor, Jojen Reed, and Meera Reed head beyond the Wall.[20]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels Osha, is a capable spearwife and raider who becomes a servant of the Starks at Winterfell. She is tall and lean with shaggy brown hair, and significantly older than how she is portrayed in the TV series.
In the novels, Osha never had sex with Theon. After he conquered Winterfell, she requested to serve him as fighter, and he agreed on condition that she bent her knee and swore an oath to him. Osha did as he demanded, but it was only pretense.
There is no mentioning in the novels of any husband or other relatives of Osha.
She is described as strong, being able to lift Bran with ease. She is also somewhat informal, dubbing Theon "that squiddy prince" behind his back.
"Osha" is pronounced "oh-shuh", not "ah-shuh", "osh-uh", "ahsh-uh", etc.

Just in time for Halloween, San Diego grad Explorence released its newest iOS app – Demon Dash. Similar to their most recent app TorchDash, Demon Dash encourages you to get off the couch and out in the real world as you run for life while being chased by virtual zombies, vampires, demons, and other ghoulish creatures one might encounter on All Hallow's Eve.
Just by adding headphones you can turn your next walk or run into a bone-chilling, hair-raising adventure that is sure to add some excitement to this Halloween or your daily run. Users of the app can set their pace to walk, jog, or run and are challenged to get away from a variety of gruesome creatures headed their way. A great way to burn calories or just add a spooky element to your trick-or-treating excursion, Demon Dash is a sure fire way to get you up and moving.
In addition to the inspiration from the always popular US holiday, Halloween, CEO Mike Suprovici says "I grew really frustrated with all my friends taking to video games instead of going outside, so we decided to start a company to make outdoor video games…We turn your phone into a Wii and you into the controller."
Be sure to download Demon Dash and check out their other apps available for iPhone here.

The Phobos VT is a sports car exclusive to Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The Phobos VT resembles a 1968-1982 Chevrolet Corvette (C3). It has a unique front spoiler, and may appear in either a one-color or two-color (body and bumpers) color scheme.
The car has excellent speed, but lacks acceleration. It also is the most inferior of all the sports cars in terms of handling.
- The car is wanted by Love Media for their Car-azy Car Give Away
- Together with the Deimos SP, its name is most likely derived from one of the two moons of the planet Mars, namely Phobos, implying that the cars are made by the same company.
- Spawns in an empty space west of the Shoreside Vale safehouse in Cedar Grove.
- Mostly seen in Shoreside Vale.
- Appears very rarely in Portland and Staunton Island.

DescriptionSprunk is a carbonated lemon lime beverage claimed in a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas radio commercial to contain "10 times the caffeine and sugar", mixed with mercury, ether and benzene, and packaged in fragmentation grenade-shaped cans. The Sprunk logo and color scheme are a caricature of Sprite and "spunk", a slang term for semen. The company's slogan in GTA IV is "The Essence of Life".
Sprunk establishments are found in both Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. In San Andreas, players can find the offices of Sprunk in East Beach, Los Santos, as well as a factory in Montgomery, Red County. In GTA IV, opposite the Honkers in Alderney, there is a large Sprunk billboard, while an abandoned factory can be found in Tudor, Alderney.
Sprunk vending machines are dotted throughout Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, from which the player can buy a can of Sprunk for $1, drink its contents to replenish their health, and throw the empty can away (for GTA IV, the player can pick up and throw the can again). A plastic bottle of Sprunk can also be bought from newspaper stands all over the city in GTA IV. A Sprunk vending machine is also featured in cutscenes in Roman's taxi depot, though it is otherwise inaccessible.Advertisements have also been featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Manhunt and Manhunt 2. The player can also download a Sprunk theme for their phone via Vipluxuryringtones.com in GTA IV, the Sprunk logo can be found on some Benson trucks in the same game. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, several billboards for Sprunk can be seen, and, in the PSP and iOS ports of the game, it is also one of the three choosable skins for your PDA.
In GTA IV, Sprunk is also a sponsor of the Venturas Poker Challenge on Weazel and an extreme base jumping competition on CNT in The Ballad of Gay Tony, where 16 contestants go head-to-head and race to base jump off of certain buildings in Liberty City.
GTA VA Sprunk machine can be seen in a screenshot.
- In the Bohan Warehouse in GTA IV, boxes and cans of Sprunk with the logo designs used in GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas can be found. This is also found on a refrigerator in TW@ Internet Cafes if you walk to the left of the door. The boxes will leak Sprunk soda if shot at.
- In GTA San Andreas, when CJ buys a can of Sprunk from a vending machine, he drinks it upside down.
- Sprunk is also featured in the Manhunt series.
- The name is a play on "Spunk":, a slang term for semen. This is reinforced by the Sprunk motto "The Essence of Life." The rising bubbles on the logo also resemble sperm.
- In GTA San Andreas, a Sprunk billboard featuring a short-haired woman can be found on the southern edge of Jefferson, Los Santos (next to the east-west expressway into the commercial heart of Los Santos), with the slogan "A Taste of Things to Come".Following a car chase during "Reuniting the Families" that ends with the gang's car crashing through the billboard, the billboard's slogan, partially cut away by a clean hole created from the crash, now reads "A Taste of _______Come", referring to "cum" (an informal term for semen). The billboard piece can in fact be destroyed before "Reuniting The Families" using any weapon.
- Sprunk co-exists with eCola, a seeming play of Coca-Cola. In reality, Sprite is a brand owned by Coca-Cola.
- Sprunk Xtreme seems to be a parody of either Mountain Dew's MDX variant or the AMP Energy brand as both Mountain Dew and Sprunk are major sponsors of an action sports tour.
- In GTA IV, Sprunk vending machines instead produce cans of Orang-O-Tang. Cans of Sprunk can be obtained, but only from eCola machines.
- Sprunk uses the same color theme as Sprite.
- The drink bottle advertised on GTA IV renditions of the Sprunk vending machines oddly resemble classic early 1900s Coca-Cola bottles despite Sprite being introduced much later, around the late 1970s.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus' first show of 2014 opens Thursday night, but some fans got an early look at some big cats and got a chance to join the elephants for lunch.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus started in 1919 and bills itself "The Greatest Show on Earth."
Skilled performers from around the globe perform awe-inspiring feats, but the circus is also known for its performing animals.
"You get to see them in action," said trainer Alexander Lacey. "I work with the lions and tigers. Everything that they do in the ring is extensions of their natural ability, so they do lots of jumping, rollovers."
IMAGES: Lunch with pachyderms
Children from Daniel Kids got to get close to the big cats and learn about the care and training that goes in to getting the exotic animals ready for showtime.
"We have parts of the routine where they appear as though they've been very aggressive and trying to attack me,
but they are all just trained movements where we show of the animal's natural beauty," Lacey said. "You know, they like seeing me kiss and cuddle them, but they also want to see a lion and tiger make a little bit of noise and growl and snarl, so we do they do that as well in the show."
After the feline encounter, the kids and others went outside, for lunch which the elephants. While the pachyderms ate a buffet of fruits and veggies, food trucks provided food for the humans.
The circus is in town for performances Thursday evening through Sunday. For show times, ticket prices and more, visit Ringling.com.
"One hour before the performance you can come and meet all the artists up close ask them anything you'd like," Lacey said. "I'm there as well; so are the other animal handlers, and you can ask us anything. We're there to answer your questions and sign autographs and get your photos taken as well."

The SCOTT slogan defines exactly what you can expect from a SCOTT product
Today there is no doubt that the bicycle is one of the most graceful and ecological means of transportation on the planet and while it continues to grow as both a serious and recreational sport, SCOTT is proud to contribute its part as a global leader in bike manufacturing. The countless hours that SCOTT employees spend on bikes are the company's main source of inspiration and motivation to continuously push the envelope and develop the most innovative products possible. While their work is on perfecting fine details, their number one goal is to offer a large variety of quality products that in the end ensure fun and good times, be it on a single track trail, a mountain pass, or beating the cars in a city.
SCOTT dates back to 1958, when Ed Scott, a talented engineer and ski racer living in Sun Valley, Idaho, revolutionized skiing by inventing the first tapered aluminum ski pole and introduced the brand SCOTT as a technical product leader. Ed Scott's initial vision of technical innovation would serve as the cornerstone company philosophy as the brand matured and expanded to new markets. Since then, it brought a series of innovative products to market. Milestones in Company history include:
In 1989, SCOTT introduced one of the most significant product innovations in the history of cycling – the aerodynamic handlebar. The handlebar was strategically utilized by American Greg LeMond in his 1989 Tour de France win.
In 1998, SCOTT presented the lightest full-suspension mountain bike worldwide. The G-Zero became a milestone in the development of the bike industry.
In 1991, SCOTT entered into the production of mountain bike suspension with Unishock. American Ruthie Mathes won the MTB World Championship using Unishocks that same year.
In 2000, SCOTT broke all records with the new Strike carbon bike, the lightest full-suspension bike worldwide.
In 2001, SCOTT presented the road-bike Team Issue with the lightest frame worldwide, topped in 2003 by the CR1, the lightest frame on the market.
In 2003, SCOTT topped its 2001 record for lightness by introducing the CR1 as the lightest frame on the market.
In 2003, SCOTT revealed the Genius, a "revolutionary mountain bike." A new concept of a full-suspension bike, it offered a shock-adjustable into three different modes (lock-out mode, all-travel mode, and traction mode). Thomas Frischknecht rode the Genius MC to victory in the marathon event at the World Championships in Lugano, Switzerland.
In 2005, SCOTT introduced the Ransom, the bike that redefined all-mountain biking. Pushing the travel expectations for this category upward, the Ransom maintained a reasonable overall weight and features an intelligent, efficient suspension design. The Ransom became the definitive backcountry bike experience.
In 2005, SCOTT developed a state-of-the-at triathlon frame, the PLASMA. With its integrated aero seat post, it became the world's lightest aero carbon frame with triathlon-specific geometry.
In 2007, SCOTT introduced the Addict, the lightest road frame available. By developing further upon the successful CR1 process, SCOTT created a state of the art Integrated Molding Process (IMP™) and mated it with the Naked External Tubeset (NET™), which removed the cosmetic layer of carbon and shaves precious grams off of the entire frame. The Addict also featured carbon dropouts, an integrated carbon seatpost, a replaceable allow hanger, and a carbon front derailleur mount. Combined with integrated seat post and a new, slimmer carbon fork, the entire bike came in under 6 kg.
In 2007, SCOTT produced the lightest full suspension bike available by applying its revolutionary new Integrated Molding Process to its already proven CR1 technology and the new Nude TC™ shock.
In 2010, SCOTT introduced the Twin Loc suspension technology, allowing riders to keep both hands on the handlebars while selecting the desired travel settings or fully locking the suspension. Riders could now switch between, full travel, traction mode, and now complete lock out of both fork and Equalizer 2 TC shock.
In 2010, SCOTT revealed the FOIL, its first aero-dynamic road bike, prototype at the Tour de France.
In 2011, SCOTT introduced the Scale, the lightest MTB carbon frame ever produced. World Champion Nino Schurter wins with the new Scale 899 the Overall MTB World Cup.
In 2011, SCOTT redefined All-Mountain again with its Genius LT. LT stands for Long Travel, necessary in all-mountain situations where the descents are nasty but climbing is necessary. The lightest all-mountain carbon frame combined with 185mm and 110mm of travel available and the ability to lock out with the Twin Loc, makes climbing and descending possible.
In 2011, SCOTT released the FOIL, its aero-road bike and the most advanced racing bike available, at the Tour de France. The FOIL is the perfect balance of lightweight, aerodynamics and stiffness.
SCOTT's continued commitment to innovation, technology and design is the reason Higher Gear chooses to carry their bicycles. Stop into Higher Gear to check out the new Foil or other bikes in the SCOTT line-up. SCOTT builds attraction. Come into Higher Gear to discover yours.

(3) a prioritized list of carrier equipment, facilities, and services deployed on or before January 1, 1995, to be modified by carriers at the request of law enforcement based on its investigative needs;
(4) a projected reimbursement plan that estimates the cost for the coming fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, based on the prioritization of law enforcement needs as outlined in (3), [1] of modification by carriers of equipment, facilities and services, installed on or before January 1, 1995.

Minister Ottaline Gambol was a British Minister for Magic who was in office in the early 19th century. Fascinated with Muggle technology, she "daring[ly] and controversial[ly]" proposed the train as a solution to the age-old dilemma of how to transport hundreds of students to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry without attracting non-magic attention, leading to the creation of the Hogwarts Express.[2]
Early life
Ottaline Gambol was born sometime in or prior 1832, somewhere in the British Isles, to at least one magical parent. It is likely she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her youth.
As Minister for Magic
Ms. Gambol rose to the office of Minister for Magic in the early 19th century and proved to be effective in the solution of the problem of how to transport hundreds of students to and from Hogwarts Castle without attracting the Muggles' attention.[2]
Portkeys had been arranged at collecting points all over Britain ever since the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692. However, Portkeys proved not to be the ideal solution to the problem of school transportation (up to a third of students would fail to arrive every year, and many students were prone to Portkey-sickness). A return to the unregulated travel of the past was impossible, and other magical routes into the school (like the usage of Floo Powder) were strongly resisted by successive Headmasters, who were concerned the security of the Castle would be breached.[2]
Sometime between 1819 and 1849 Minister Ottaline Gambol made a daring and controversial suggestion to solve the problem: intrigued by the Muggle technology, the Minister saw the potential of using a train as a secure and comfortable alternative to Portkeys. Thus the Hogwarts Express came to be. Where the locomotive was actually obtained from remains unknown, but there are classified files at the Ministry of Magic pertaining to a large-scale operation involving one hundred and sixty-seven Memory Charms, as well as the biggest Concealment Charm ever performed in Britain. The morning after this operation, the residents of Hogsmeade awoke to find a railway station that had not been there previously, and Muggle railway employees in Crewe had the feeling they had misplaced something, which stayed with them for the rest of the year.[2]
Behind the Scenes
Ottaline Gambol may have been related to the founder of Gambol and Japes'.
