Foundational Nutrition
Nearly every major health organization recommends eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day to maintain health. Yet, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than nine percent of American adults consume the recommended number of servings.
What are super green foods and why do I need them?
Super green foods is a term usually used to describe young cereal grasses such as wheat, barley, oats and alfalfa, as well as spirulina, chlorella, kelp and other sea vegetables.
A diet comprised of super green foods enables grass-eating animals to continually maintain their weight, strength, and vibrant health.
If I'm already taking a vitamin supplement, why do I need Perfect Food?
The whole foods found in Perfect Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, but it goes beyond just that. Perfect Food also delivers naturally occurring cofactors and synergistic compounds by utilizing concentrates and juices instead of extracts and isolates.
Whole foods and their concentrates are ingredients on which no chemical extraction has been performed. When nutrients are stripped of their cofactors as a result of extraction, it may alter the nutrients' utilization. In addition, these cofactors might have additional antioxidant benefits. In contrast, most widely available vitamin and mineral supplements are made from fractionated, isolated or synthetic sources that can potentially create an environment of biochemical imbalances.
For optimal health, there's nothing better than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, natural state, like those found in Perfect Food.
Suggested Use for Perfect Food Powder:
Adults mix one level scoop (2 tablespoons) in 8 ounces of water or juice, 1 (or more) times per day. Begin with 1/4 serving for the first few days gradually working up to full serving size.

The Study of Salmon – A Pacific Northwest Favorite Fish
Skamania Lodge, near Portland, Oregon, is thrilled to be part of an exciting new culinary series recently launched by our hotel management company - Destination Hotels & Resorts. "The Study Of..." culinary series features an in-depth exploration of ingredients with the chefs of the Destination Culinary Collection. Each quarter, a new gastronomic topic is unveiled for our chefs to examine through cooking demonstrations, educational lectures, innovative recipes or sumptuous tastings.
This quarter, we are present "The Study of Salmon" – a fitting topic for those of us that live in the Pacific Northwest, where salmon is abundant. Join us as we celebrate the ingredients that allow us to create brilliant dishes to delight and inspire.
A little Salmon history…
Salmon live along the coasts of both the North Atlantic and Pacific and are known as the "king of fish," an appropriate title for many reasons. Salmon make a tremendous journey during their lifetime, migrating from the fresh water streams of their youth to feeding grounds in the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and back again to spawn. Their capacity to return back to the same stream where they were hatched has captivated and mystified biologists for hundreds of years.
The name "salmon" derives from the Latin salmo, which in turn may have originated from salire, meaning "to leap" hence the classic image of salmon "leaping" through the air on their way to spawn.
Preparing Salmon…
We encourage you to explore the featured Salmon recipes and cooking tips from our Destination Culinary team on our "Study Of…" website.
Grilling salmon can be tricky. Make sure your grill grates are very hot and very clean. Dry the fish fillets and season with salt and pepper. Brush a small amount of olive oil on thefillets and gently place the fish on the hot grill. Let the fish grill for 3 to 5 minutes, then using your fingers gently "lift" at the corners of the fillet. Once you have released thefillet from the grill without sticking, flip over using a spatula and grill for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
When visiting Skamania Lodge, Executive Chef James Boheim invites you to enjoy his delicious Salmon dishes at both The Cascade Dining Room and River Rock bar and restaurant. Watch chef demonstrate how to cook salmon.
This lodge is one of the friendliest places I know. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy working there and doing whatever they can to assist the guests.

Letter from the Director
Cocaine abuse and addiction continue to plague our Nation. In 2008, almost 15 percent of Americans had tried cocaine, with 6 percent having tried it by their senior year of high school. Recent discoveries about the inner workings of the brain and the harmful effects of cocaine offer us unprecedented opportunities for addressing this persistent public health problem.
Genetic studies continue to provide critical information about hereditary influences on the risk of addiction to psychoactive substances, including cocaine. But genetic risk is far less rigid than previously thought. More recent epigenetic research has begun to shed light on the power of environmental factors (e.g., nutrition, chronic stress, parenting style) to influence gene expression and thus, genetic risk. Furthermore, sophisticated imaging technologies have allowed scientists to visualize the brain changes that result from chronic drug exposure or that occur when an addicted person is exposed to drug-associated "cues" that can trigger craving and lead to relapse. By mapping genetic factors, epigenetic mechanisms, and brain regions responsible for the multiple effects of cocaine, we are gaining fundamental insights that can help us identify new targets for treating cocaine addiction.
NIDA remains vigilant in its quest for more effective strategies to address the serious public health issues linked to cocaine abuse. We not only support a wide range of basic and clinical research, but also facilitate the translation of these research findings into real-world settings. To this end, we strive to keep the public informed of the latest scientific advances in the field of addiction. We hope that this compilation of scientific information on cocaine abuse will inform readers and bolster our efforts to tackle the personal and social devastation caused by drug abuse and addiction.

As an artist for nearly 30 years, Debra Fisher shares stories – but she shares them in visual narratives, not necessarily written ones.
Among her many multimedia creations are trifold and quad-fold "books," which can feature any number of colors, drawings, prints, and other artistic details inspired or culled from the pages of her life. Several of Fisher's "books" and a massive installation work she calls The Waning October Moon are currently on display through Nov. 8 at Keuka College.
The title of the large work is also the title of the exhibit that is featured in the Lightner Gallery, housed in Lightner Library. An artist reception will be held Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 4:30- 6 p.m. Both the reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.
A few years ago, Fisher spent four months in the hospital, and it was not a pleasant experience.
"They poke and prod and pull you apart," said the Spencerport resident who leveraged the experience and turned it into "The Predator Series," a collection of prints of animals in attack mode. Each print features an inset of images from the classic cookbook "The Joy of Cooking," which she considers humorous takes on Mother Nature and what people do for food sources.
"Man being preyed upon is the bottom line for that [work,] and myself – the object of investigation," said Fisher, who has taught printmaking, multimedia and drawing for 13 years at SUNY Brockport. Other prints, drawings, and multimedia creations are also featured in the show.
It took two days for Fisher to complete the installation of her signature work in the gallery, and visitors will see a wash of antiqued yellow painted directly on the gallery walls, on which she has displayed three-dimensional objects, including 10 individual prints – of a boy, a boat, birds, and more. Each print was created when Fisher etched the selected work onto copper plates, then inked them. Prints were then mounted on wooden frames with hand-marbled paper around the edges, lacquered in a thin coat of beeswax.
Fisher calls herself a fan of the alternative print-making process. In addition to copper plating, she teaches gum prints, inking, and stamping. Stamps are part of the signature installation, and across the walls of the installation, visitors will see hand-stamped leaves and scarabs, the term for a dung beetle that some in the Egyptian culture believed offered good luck, or a sign of safe passage to the afterlife. Perhaps creating a feel as if entering a room, the installation also features a pair of women's shoes from the 1940s rested atop a small ,three-dimensional staircase, mantel ledges mounted on the walls, and drapings of coffee-colored fabric swaths with prints of birds in flight.
"It's déjà vu, the sense you've been somewhere before, lived this way, the ebb and flow of life situations and experiences you may have," Fisher said, adding that even the imperfections of the gallery wall, with its nooks and crannies, fit the essence of her work.
Some of the images of the 10 prints contained within Fisher's installation are replicas of idyllic landscape images from a print created between 1700 and 1800. Others have been culled from old books, perhaps those with engravings, or from nature. Another print, of a couple's hands, was pulled from a famous work, "The Wedding," by Jan Van Eyck, she said.
The Keuka exhibition is the second time Fisher has installed her signature work, and she enjoys discovering how it evolves each time it is recreated.
"The installation is ongoing … and I [already] have ideas for the next time. I have some really large bee etchings that will be mounted on thick cardboard and hovering above the wall. I will also include an elaborately framed etching of a dung beetle," she said, noting she may add a print of her mother to the work. "One response I had from a fellow printmaker and artist was: 'This could go on forever – you could work on this your whole life.'"
Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to purchase handmade sketchbooks Fisher has created. The covers are crafted with prints from the exhibition and the sketchbooks feature an exposed spine with coptic bindings (ie: chain-stitched by hand). These handmade creations are available for $25.
The gallery is open during library hours, which can be found at: http://lightner.keuka.edu.

- "Niko, you wanna go on a date? Come on, what's wrong with you?"
- ―Roman Bellic.
- "Eh...OK. Who is she?"
- ―Niko Bellic.
- "That's the thing, it's a guy."
- ―Roman Bellic.
- "Fuck you."
- ―Niko Bellic.
Out of the Closet is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Brucie Kibbutz from his flat on Mohanet Ave in East Hook, Broker, Liberty City.
Brucie wants Niko to kill Tom Rivas, cousin of Lyle Rivas, because he hasn't paid his debt. Rivas is in hiding and the only way to get him out is to arrange a date through the website www.love-meet.net. Roman helped Niko create a profile to attract Rivas. Niko heads to an internet cafe to arrange a date with Rivas. Later on, Niko receives an e-mail from him informing Niko where and when he will be available. Niko arrives to The 69th Street Diner to meet with Rivas. After a small talk with Niko revealing that he's there to deal with Rivas' unpaid debt, Rivas attempts to escape. Niko chases Rivas and guns him down.
Mission objectives
Out of the Closet… (Part 1)
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the internet cafe.
- Use a computer to get on love-meet.net and find FRENCH TOM.
…Out of the Closet (Part 2)
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to the diner to meet French Tom.
- French Tom is inside the diner. Look for him.
- Take down French Tom.
Out of the Closet… (Part 1)
After the cutscene finishes, go to the nearest TW@ Internet Cafe. Walk inside and log onto a computer. Click on the Love-Meet advertisement, and click on "Male". Scroll down until you find the user "FrenchTom", click on him. Now scroll down and click on "Date". Exit the computer and leave the cafe (you can rob the cash register for $30-$500, but you will get a one-star wanted level). The mission will enter intermission upon exiting the cafe.
Do some missions or just roam around and after 2-4 game days. Roman will call and ask if Niko has been on his "gay date" yet. Rivas will have reply via e-mail, so check them. The date will be usually 12:00am or 12:00pm the next day/night. Check your phone to be sure when the date is. Two hours before the date, the symbol will appear; grab a taxi and go to The 69th Street Diner.
…Out of the Closet (Part 2)
Walk inside and you can pop a bullet in his head from where you are if you know where he is or go search for him. Listen to him ramble on and when you are ready, stand up (button is provided) and shoot him (and get away from the area. You will probably have a wanted level so use the Pay 'n' Spray around the corner. Russian criminals may fire on Niko, so beware.
Video Walkthrough
- Tom Rivas (deceased) - Killed by Niko Bellic for not paying Brucie Kibbutz.
Brucie Kibbutzwill call Niko to ask him about his date. He will say that it "didn't go so good" because he's now dead, much to Brucie's satisfaction. He will also text Niko to look at his "hot date" story on the Liberty Tree online.
- $6750
- Use of reminders on phone
- Lovemeet profile (instantly date Carmen Ortiz, date Kiki Jenkins after unlocking Algonquin).
- During their meeting, Tom asks Niko if he knows "Gay Tony"; Tony is involved in several plot twists later in GTA IV, and takes a more pivotal role in the GTA IV add-on The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- The player does not need to sit down beside Tom in order to kill him. Simply enter through one of the doors, turn auto-aim off and shoot Tom in the back of the head. This gives you a quicker advantage as usually a man sitting behind Tom reveals a gun and attacks you, along with other Russian mobsters.
- Humorously, Niko's fake profile in love-meet.net seems to have been written by both Roman and Brucie, with the writer apparently changing in the middle of various sentences. Various parts mention steroids and VIP living (Brucie) and other parts are more normal (Roman).
- Strangely, the picture of Niko on the Love meet profile shows him in Star Junction in Algonquin. However, this area can not be accessed at the point in the game, where the mission becomes avalible. Although, its possible, to "ignore" this mission, and progress with other missions, until Algonquin is avalible.
- The name of the mission is a slang term to admitting one's homosexuality to family or friends.
- This mission is mentioned in an email from Roman titled "Great News" about his upcoming marriage to Mallorie Bardas, and that he cannot have any more threesomes; if Niko responds positively to the email, he will mention that Brucie will be disappointed about the threesomes, to which Roman will respond "Fuck you! At least I never dated a man! Unlike you!".
- It is entirely possible for the second part of the mission (and therefore Brucie's last mission, No. 1) to be skipped entirely, as it is not essential in order for the story to progress. Simply never respond to French Tom's email offering to arrange a date and the second part can be avoided totally, even past the completion of the rest of the story. The only downside to this is that Roman will text you at the end of every mission reminding you to check your emails so you can go on the date.
- One of Niko's likes is "people who use bull shark testosterone so long as they don't have funny balls." This is a reference to the mission Easy as can Be, where Brucie tells Niko he uses bull shark testosterone and Niko replies to him by saying it will do funny things to his balls.

The Fixer's Assassinations
this wiki
The Fixer's assassinations are a string of assassination missions given to the player in Grand Theft Auto IV. Niko Bellic can get to the missions by visiting a payphone at the Odhner Avenue-Traeger Road intersection on the western fringe of Port Tudor with Acter in Alderney, where a cutscene shows The Fixer briefing Bellic. It is not required to do these missions to continue with the storyline, but they do count towards 100% completion of the game.
Activating the missions
Following Phil Bell's first mission, he will call the player's character, Niko Bellic, stating that someone has some side-jobs for him. A man known as "The Fixer" wants Niko to assassinate some enemies. To start these missions, the player should go to a designated payphone marked with a crosshair icon, and walk to a payphone to contact "The Fixer". When the player succeeds in completing all his assassinations, Niko contacts The Fixer about his success in the last assassination mission:
Niko: It is now time to collect from the client.
The Fixer: You've done good brother. Cleared a lot of files from my desk. Can't use you no more though. A man loses taste for this kind of work after a time. I can't run that risk with a partner.
Niko: I understand. This is not the type of thing you want to develop a taste for.
The Fixer: Be cool, brother. Keep your senses alert and you might make retirement. Not many in this game cross that line. So long.
For every mission, the player will be provided information on where the target is, along with a body armor and a specific weapon suited for the mission in hand behind the pay phone. Like Brucie Kibbutz's exotic exports and Stevie's car thefts, individual assassination missions are played out in random order. In addition, the missions predominantly take place in Alderney.
Water Hazard
The target is on a boat anchored just off shore. You may want to use an RPG to send her down with the ship, or shoot them with a Sniper Rifle. After you kill the target, you will not need to worry about the police once Niko calls The Fixer telling him that he killed the target, because your wanted level will disapeer once the call is made.
Dead End
The target are some members of The Lost Brotherhood, or Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers. They are in Alderney, when you come close to them they will drive away and you will have to give chase, however they will lure you into an ambush where you will have to take out many enemies.
If you take a cab to the destination, watch them drive away and then run towards their destination - you will get there after the ambush has arrived and you can easily take them out using your assault rifle. If you have a Rocket Launcher you can shoot the Patriot as it drives away to end the mission and never face the ambushers
There's an easy and fun way to take them all out easily: Keep behind the "escaping" Patriot and when the ambush is triggered, quickly get back to the street you came from, hide behind a corner and get out of the car. Now all thugs in the alleyway will run out from behind the corner one by one and you can shoot them all easily or throw a grenade for killing multiple targets at once.
Migration Control
The target is attempting to catch a helicopter. Either use an RPG and blow it up when they board it, or shoot them with a sniper rifle.
Derelict Target
The targets are members of the Triads, and Russian Mafia. There are 3 heavily guarded targets to be wiped out in a stripped out building in Alderney City. This is a hard mission because the police get involved regardless of whether or not you shoot anybody - it's scripted so when you get to the level where the second person is, the cops will come starting at a 1 star level and going up to two stars once you shoot another baddie. Of course, you have to move fast or end up killing policemen and your wanted level goes up to 4 stars. The easiest way to do this is to get a helicopter, go to the street level where you can see two of the targets, snipe them, and then fly to the roof of the same building and through the partially destroyed roof shoot the third person. If you do attract police, just fly away. Dwayne's backup could also be a good idea.
Another approach requires that you land a helicopter on the roof of the target building, call 911, and ask for the police. Watch for police on the streets below (most likely the southeast corner of the building). When you see cops, shoot them until you have three wanted stars. The police will begin to swarm the building. Stay on the roof, and shoot a bad guy through one of the holes in the roof. This will cause the cops and bad guys to fight each other as the cops make their way to the top floor. Chill on the roof and wait until the shooting stops (this will take a while). You will have to fend off some police helicopters, so make sure you have plenty of sniper ammo (an RPG helps too). When the shooting below you stops, there may still be one surviving target. If so, you have two options. If you are dating Kiki Jenkins, you can call her and have your wanted level cleared. You may then drop down through a hole into the building and hunt the last guy down. Killing him will complete the mission, but you will become wanted again (two stars) and are already surrounded by cops, so jump to the ground, steal a car, and drive away as quickly as possible. If you are not dating Kiki, fly your helicopter to the roof of the shorter building south of the target. From there, you should be able to hit the last guy. Once that's done, get back in your chopper and fly away.
Bailing Out for Good
This target is bailing out of a police station. Kill him outside it or chase him down when he gets in his car and kill him that way. This is a realatively easy mission. There are a lot of cops in the area so you should kill him quick and then get out of the area. Also, if you run into and kill him, the mission is passed as well.
Hook, Line and Sinker
The target is on a boat, use a boat to get closer and give chase, shooting the boat until it explodes
A much easier way is to use a boat to get only a little closer and snipe the target. This is easiest when positioned behind the target's boat as the target's head can be covered by windshield from other directions.
Note: You don't have to kill both occupants, just the driver (left seat).
R.U.B. Down
The target is in the Acter Industrial park not far to the south. However there are actually three, and they are all on bikes. Chase them down and kill them. Easier way to kill them instantly is to use a grenade. Sneak behind the concrete fence on the west side of the alleyway and throw a grenade over it. If you find yourself unable to hit them by manual aim, you can park a car by the fence and jump on its roof, then use auto-aim.
Industrial Action
Three targets have to be taken out at the industrial park. They are up high on some walkways, and are guarded by a number of guards. The best way is to use a sniper form the north side and pick off as many as you can. Then get closer and take out the rest. Some targets may try to use two Landstalkers parked on the road just south of the walkway to escape.
Note: There is a $10,000 bonus on this contract. In the middle walkway between the two towers there is a sports bag that contains the money (presumably for the deal). To get the cash simply walk up to the bag. Be warned, this disappears after killing an undetermined amount of enemies.
Taken Out
The target is moving in a convoy. Take a good handling car and drive up towards the target. The convoy is a stretch and two SUVs. If you are in a helicopter, slowly and methodically crash into the limousine, which pretty much makes it undriveable, and then just drill everybody with your SMG or Carbine Rifle. Another way to stop them is to get ahead of the limousine and through a Grenade outside of the window, this will stop the convoy and if you time it just right you will even be able to blow up the convoy and the target as well. You can also block the target's way with a car rigged with Packie's bomb and detonate it as the limo gets close. This requires a good timing, though.
Video Walkthrough
- The Achievement/Trophy name, "Assassin's Greed", is a reference to the Ubisoft franchise Assassin's Creed.
- The mission name Hook, Line and Sinker is a reference to the common phrase of the same name.
- When Fixer texts Niko to remind him that he can be given jobs (Like other characters who give you jobs), he shows up as "Unknown" instead of "Fixer".
- The Fixer can be found through the LCPD data as Wade Johnson.

Episode Plot
The Don George battle tournament continues. The next battle was Cilan vs. Trip. While Cilan used Dwebble, Trip used his newly evolved Gurdurr. However, despite the evolutionary advantage, Cilan won and has moved on to the next round. Next was Stephan vs. Bianca and unfortunately Bianca lost. Then came the battle between Luke and his opponent Scooter, which Luke won. Finally, the battle between Iris and Jimmy Ray which Iris won. Soon the quarter-finals were underway with Ash and Snivy going up against Georgia and her new Pawniard. If she beat Iris without batting an eye, How can Ash fair against her?
- This is the first time in the entire series Trip lost.
- This is also the first time he lost to someone other than Ash.
- This is the second time one of Ash's rivals lost to a gym leader. The first time that happened was when Gary lost to Giovanni.
- The match-ups continues as following:
- Cilan vs. Trip
- Stephan vs. Bianca
- Luke vs. Scooter
- Iris vs. Jimmy Ray
- The following trainers advance to the next round:
- Georgia
- Dino
- Antonio
- Ash
- Cilan
- Stephan
- Luke
- Iris
- The first quarter-final Match is Georgia vs. Ash.
- The other quarter-final matches include:
- Antonio vs. Dino
- Cilan vs. Luke
- Stephan vs. Iris
- The other quarter-final matches include:
- Despite being called the Dragon Buster, Georgia has a Pawniard. Which makes no sense since Pawniard can't learn any Ice or Dragon-type moves. Only Steel-type moves.
- Trip's Gurdurr is his second Pokémon to have evolved off-screen (the first being Servine).
- This is the second time Trip's Muscular Pokemon lost to one of Ash's friends. First, was Ash and Oshawott he battled with as his Timburr in BW034: Ash and Trip's Third Battle!
- Georgia's Pawniard is confirmed female in this episode.
- This was the final episode broadcasted in analog TV in Japan due to a switchover to digital signals in Japan 3 days after the Japanese airing.
- Who's That Pokemon?: Gurdurr (US)

- "- I disobeyed my King, your father, and now I'm paying the price.
- I don't care, you're my friend."
- ―Davos Seaworth and Princess Shireen
Shireen Baratheon is a character in the third season. She is played by Kerry Ingram. Princess Shireen is the only daughter of Stannis and Selyse Baratheon.
She is the daughter of Stannis and Selyse Baratheon. Her father Stannis is the head of House Baratheon of Dragonstone and has declared himself King on the Iron Throne. She is Stannis' only child and heir. She is the same age as Arya Stark. She has three older brothers, who were stillborn.
The left side of her face is scarred by Greyscale.
Season 3
Having ignored Selyse and Shireen for several months, Stannis pays them a visit sometime after Melisandre's departure from Dragonstone to gather power on the mainland. Selyse tries to dissuade Stannis from seeing Shireen, but he angrily insists upon seeing his daughter. Whilst telling her of the disaster at Blackwater Bay, Shireen asks after Davos Seaworth, calling him by his traditional soubriquet, "The Onion Knight". Stannis gently explains that he is a traitor and is in the dungeon, a notion which distresses the young princess. Advising her to forget her friend, Stannis departs. Later that night, Shireen sneaks out of her tower and into the dungeon to see Davos. She demonstrates knowledge of the guards and their habits, making sure to visit when the gaoler, a known drunk, is on duty. Shireen brings Davos a book about Aegon the Conqueror to pass the time, but the Onion Knight admits he cannot read. Shireen takes this in stride and begins to teach him through the bars of his cell.[1]

Behind the scenes
Her inclusion in the TV series was uncertain; She appeared in the first season House Baratheon family tree issued by HBO and was then removed from the second season family tree. However, she was confirmed as a role for the third season.[2] Child actress Kerry Ingram later tweeted that she had got the part.[3]
Shireen has the characteristic Baratheon features of dark hair and blue eyes. In the books, this means that her hair color is outright black, but in the TV series it is a lighter shade closer to dark brown. This might be due to the fact that actress Kerry Ingram is actually a natural blonde, and it was decided that dyeing her hair completely black looked too artificial. This is similar to how Tyrion Lannister in the books has the same golden-blonde hair as his siblings, but because actor Peter Dinklage has black hair in real life, dyeing it to this color didn't match the actor very well, so the makeup team soon switched Tyrion's hair color in the TV series to more of a dirty blonde (Tyrion's original golden-blonde hair can be briefly glimpsed in a few scenes in the first episode of the series).
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Shireen is the daughter of Stannis Baratheon and Selyse Florent. She is described as a sad, sweet and gentle child, far from pretty. She inherited the unattractive features of both the Baratheons and Florents: the square jutting jaw of her father, and the large ears of her mother. When she was an infant she contracted the dreaded disease known as Greyscale, which is usually fatal. It nearly killed her, but she survived, however it horribly disfigured her: it left a swath of flesh on her left cheek and neck visibly dead, grey and flaking. As a result - and possibly also her parents' relatively unloving marriage - she became a sullen and quiet girl, withdrawn around all except for the castle's court jester Patchface and her cousin Edric Storm.
The TV series' official description of Shireen describes her as escaping her lonely life through stories in books. Shireen isn't described as a shy bookworm type in the books, however this is in keeping with how the books describe her as withdrawn and lonely. Shireen isn't a POV character in the books and hasn't received much focus so far, so the TV series is rounding out her character much as it did characters in Season 2 who weren't POV characters in those parts of the books, such as Margaery Tyrell.
Shireen, like her father, has some Targaryen blood. Steffon Baratheon, father of Robert, Stannis, and Renly, was the son of King Aerys II Targaryen's aunt Rhaelle Targaryen, thus he was Aerys' first cousin. Robert, Stannis, and Renly are actually second cousins to Rhaegar Targaryen as well as Daenerys Targaryen. Thus Shireen is the second cousin once removed of Daenerys. This might be moved around somewhat in the TV continuity, which removed Aerys II's father Jaehaerys II, who had a brief rule and died young - to simplify his relationship with Aemon Targaryen. Centuries of heavy inbreeding resulted in every other Targaryen suffering from insanity, but apparently also preserved the ability in their bloodline to interact with dragons and to experience prophetic visions and dreams. Shireen might have inherited some of these abilities, as she mentions that she frequently has dreams about dragons (despite having never seen a live one), though this might just be because she is an imaginative little girl who grew up in a castle with dragon-shaped statues and gargoyles everywhere.
Stannis' opinion of Shireen is ambiguous. Certainly, he is as distant from his family as he is everyone else around him. Stannis is also deeply troubled by the fact that he has no male heir to carry on the Baratheon dynasty, thus Shireen doesn't seem to be very valuable to him. On the other hand, Stannis has remarked in the books that should he ever die in the war, he expects his soldiers to keep fighting to put Shireen on the throne.

A routine traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a registered sex offender.
According to Colorado Springs police, the suspect was pulled over after an officer spotted him make an illegal u-turn at the intersection of North Academy and North Carefree just before 1:20 a.m. It was only after the officer contacted the driver that he realized it was a sex offender who was currently wanted for failing to report his address change to authorities.
Police say the suspect, Jarell Askew, is registered as a sex offender but failed to report his change of address after moving. That is required by law for all registered sex offenders.
Askew was charged with failure to register, which is a felony. Police say this is his second such charge.

Fresh From Our Farmers: Sebastopol in December
On Sunday, the Sebastopol Farmers Market was smaller than usual, though it was hard to tell, given the market's location shift. For the month of December, the market moves to the town plaza so holiday shoppers have access to parking. It will return to its usual spot on January 6. Although the market opens at 10 a.m., the day begins much earlier for farmers and ranchers, who must harvest if they have not already done so, pack and drive, sometimes… Read More »

Ajay ChandakAjay Chandak has the potential to revolutionize the use of solar thermal application in India. Prince India invites proposals from Industry & research organisation for commercialization of the new Parabolic Solar Concentrator.
The photograph shows only two concentrators to explain the concept while actually three to five concentrators will be used in field depending on site conditions. In the inset the focus on the receiver is shown.
Salient features of the new system are:
- Multiple reflectors with square shape in plan.
- Compact design as the shape is switched over to square than round.

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Fedor Tyutin scored 2:19 into overtime as the
Columbus Blue Jackets picked up an important two points with a 3-2 win over
the Anaheim Ducks.
In the extra session, Nick Foligno danced along the left wing to get clear of
a defender before chipping the puck down low for Tyutin, who got a stick on it
for his fourth of the year.
The win has Columbus sitting in the eighth spot in the Western Conference with
49 points, two clear of Detroit as the Red Wings lost to Calgary on Wednesday.
Detroit does have a game in hand, though.
Matt Calvert and Blake Comeau also scored while Sergei Bobrovsky posted 26
saves for the Blue Jackets, who have won five in a row.
David Steckel and Sam Vatanen each scored for the Ducks, who have dropped
their past three. Viktor Fasth made 24 stops in the loss.
Anaheim has 60 points and sits firmly in first place in the Pacific Division
and second place in the Western Conference.

While the other local teams picked up losses Friday night, the Oldham County Colonels closed the regular season in style, knocking out host Jeffersontown 16-12.
Senior running back Jacob Taylor got things started for the Colonels, ripping off a 51-yard scoring run just two minutes into the game.
That was short-lived though as the Chargers returned the favor a play later, taking the ensuing kickoff 100 yards to cut the lead to 7-6. Their attempt at the PAT failed however as a bad snap prevented them from evening the score.

A former justice of the peace has been charged with capital murder in the slayings of a North Texas district attorney and his assistant who prosecuted him for theft.
Authorities announced Thursday that Eric Lyle Williams is charged in the shooting deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, last month, and assistant prosecutor Mark Hasse in January.
Williams has been in jail since he was arrested Saturday and charged with making a terroristic threat. Authorities say the 46-year-old emailed an anonymous threat to law officers one day after the McLellands were found dead.
Williams' wife was arrested Wednesday and charged with capital murder in the killings.
An arrest affidavit alleges she confessed to taking part in the killings and told her investigators her husband was the gunman.

Previous Story
Authorities have announced that the wife of a former judge is being charged with murder for the slayings of a North Texas district attorney, his wife and an assistant prosecutor.
Kim Lene Williams was arrested early Wednesday. Kaufman County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Justin Lewis said Williams is being charged with all three deaths and being held on $10 million bond.
Her arrest is the latest twist in an investigation that has also focused on her husband, who was prosecuted for theft by Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and one of his prosecutors, Mark Hasse.
McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found dead March 30, two months after Hasse was slain outside the local courthouse.

Too Peaceful!
I love the Peaceful Patchouli Shower & Bath Gel by Kiss My Face. Just wish it weren't so peaceful. I mean, the fragrance is there, but needs more oomph and longer lasting. Maybe I'm using the wrong Patchouli blend.
Patchouli fragrance is a very subtle aroma.
The gel is fine, but needs more added fragrance.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

I love the smell of this shower gel
This is a great shower gel with a wonderful scent that is not too strong or overbearing. However the scent does not linger as much as I would like for it to. Good for sensitive skin. Only 4 stars due to price.

Great article. I used to shoot 6x6 in medium format so I know it very well. It helps you to concentrate your subject matter since you don't have the "additional" space that's in a rectangular format.
Despite what others may feel, I enjoy working with it. I also found another app that allows square format: it's Vignette (for Android). I usually shoot square with it's "Ilford" black & white setting.

I cooked this because I thought it sounded great, expecting gracious, but negative comments from my family. However my high school kids loved it! (Understand, they don't eat anything that is green.) I thought it was great also, but was shocked that they did & asked for seconds. Since originally cooking it, I lost the recipe, so glad to find it again!
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
I don't know why this has a low rating! It's so yummie! Cooking the gnocchi in the skillet gives it a light crunch, which is a great contrast to the other softer ingredients. I really enjoyed the mixture of texture and tastes in every bite. This is a new addition to our regular meal rotation! It's easy, it tastes good, and has options to add variations (adding other fresh veggies!)
Changes... I added two tablespoons of water when I first put the gnocchi in the skillet. The shelf gnocchi seemed too dry so the water helped them plump up. Stirred them and then let them sit in the skillet in a single layer to brown.
I would 1/2 the beans myself. I'm not a huge fan of too many white beans.
I used an entire bunch of chard.
I did make more veg than gnocchi so the extra went into the fridge for lunch today. I threw in a handful or two of spinach for added greens. Today atested better - all the flavors blended really well. Next time I will make them the night before.
I'm not sure why this has a low rating... this dish is great! Each bite has different texture and flavor, which keeps it interesting as you eat. It's quick and easy to prepare and well balanced. This is a must have in our meal rotation!
I really enjoyed this recipe. It's easy to make, looks beautiful with all of the colors from the chard, tomato, beans, etc., and turned out very well. I'll definitely be making it again. I used shelf-stable whole wheat with sweet potato gnocchi. It was a little watery at first, but after it sat a bit was not watery really at all. I'm not sure why so many people gave this bad reviews.
I just noticed the low rating on this recipe - we've been making this for a while now and it's a favorite of everyone's - kids included. I make it with spinach. Delicious, healthy, great!

Floreffe, Pennsylvania oil spill
A destroyed tank at the Ashland Oil Facility. Credit:NOAA OR&R
In January 1988, a four-million gallon oil storage tank owned by Ashland Oil Company, Inc., split apart and collapsed at an Ashland oil storage facility located in Floreffe, Pennsylvania, near the Monongahela River. The tank split while being filled to capacity for the first time after it had been dismantled and moved from an Ohio location and reassembled at the Floreffe facility. The split released diesel oil over the tank's containment dikes, across a parking lot on an adjacent property, and into an uncapped storm drain that emptied directly into the river. Within minutes the oil slick moved miles down river, washing over two dam locks and dispersing throughout the width and depth of the river. The oil was carried by the Monongahela River into the Ohio River, temporarily contaminating drinking water sources for an estimated one million people in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio, contaminating river ecosystems, killing wildlife, damaging private property, and adversely affecting businesses in the area. Oil covers the ground and debris at the Ashland Oil Facility. Credit:NOAA OR&R
After local authorities executed the initial on-scene response during the night, EPA took control of the cleanup operations. EPA Region III was dispatched to the site immediately following the incident, and an EPA On-Scene Coordinator assumed the lead role in the spill response. The On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) was responsible for delegating tasks and responsibilities to the agency best qualified to perform them.
The Incident-Specific Regional Response Team (RRT) was formally activated two days after the incident. The RRT consisted of many environment and health-related agencies from both the federal level as well as the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, cooperating to provide advice and guidance to the OSC regarding the political and legal issues surrounding the incident.
Contractors employed by Ashland performed the actual cleanup duties. The contractors used booms, vacuum trucks, and other equipment to retrieve the spilled oil, recovering about 20 percent of the oil that flowed into the river.
EPA, in cooperation with other agencies, monitored the cleanup process and river conditions. Personnel set up a river monitoring system to track the spill, as well as a sampling and analysis process to protect water supplies. The Agency also performed follow-up activities such as compliance inspections and a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan inspection.
Several important lessons were learned from this spill response. It was concluded that a more rapid establishment of a central command post would have enhanced response coordination. In addition, the delay of RRT activation until two days after the incident may have decreased opportunities to provide assistance to the responding agencies. Communication problems and lack of available containment and monitoring equipment also hindered response efforts. Evaluators of the response recommended that inventories of locally available equipment be prepared to assist emergency responders in quickly locating needed equipment. It was also recommended that to protect public water sources in future emergencies, water suppliers should plan for the availability of contingency water supplies and equipment.
In September 1988, Ashland Oil Company was indicted by a federal grand jury for negligently discharging oil into the Monongahela River in violation of section 311(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act.

THOMASTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A boat builder in Maine is ready to take on the world.
Boatuilder Lyman Morse, of Thomaston, has lauched a 63-foot boat that's specially designed to go around the world and set a new speed record while doing it.
"The Kiwi Spirit" will leave Maine in mid-November and her owner, Stanley Paris, will spend much of the next year getting ready to sail non-stop around the world alone.
Paris says his goal is to break the record set by Dodge Morgan of Maine back in the 1990s. Morgan sailed around the world in 150 days.
Paris believes his boat can do it in 120.
Paris praises Morse and his shipbuilding crew and says "now we've been sailing [the boat] and its awesome. The winds I would have gotten 7.5 or 8 knots from on my previous boat, I'm getting 10 and 12 knots now."
Paris says by the time he starts the trip he will be 76 years old - by far the oldest person to ever make the solo, round the world voyage.
But Paris says he's sailed the world before and also made other long distance cruises.
He's also swum the English Channel twice and says he's ready for the challenge.

Banded butterflyfish

The Banded butterflyfish (Chaetodon striatus) is a member of the butterflyfish family (Family Chaetodontidae) that lives on coral reefs in the Western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This species preys chiefly upon polychaete worms, coral polyps, crustaceans and mollusk eggs using their elongated narrow mouths to grasp their prey.

Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia (Animals)
Physical Description
Banded butterflyfish have small (7.5 to 15.0 centimeters in length), oval bodies with tapered heads and a long pointed mouths. Individuals are white with three large black bands, one on the head that passes through the eye, and two in the mid-body. The species manifests a black border along the rear of the tail and anal fins.
Distribution of the banded butterflyfish. Florida Museum of Natural History.
This taxon is found in the Western Atlantic from Massachusetts, USA to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea.
Chaetodon striatus typically live on coral reefs at ocean depths ranging from three to 20 meters.
Feeding Behavior
This species feeds primarily on polychaete worms, coral polyps, crustaceans and mollusk eggs using their long narrow mouths to grasp their prey. Their good vision allows them to locate small prey while their narrow body allows them to maneuver through the reef in search of prey. Adults may form plankton-feeding aggregations of up to 20 individuals, and occasionally clean other reef fishes which join the group, such as grunts, parrotfishes and surgeon fishes.
Banded butterflyfish live on coral reefs and are generally found singly or in pairs, but they may ocassional join aggregations of up to 20 indiviuals to feed on plankton.
Most mating occurs from February to May, with Banded butterflyfish breeding in pairs. Spawing occurs, at dusk, in the water column; the male and females swim seven to eight meters above the reef before releasing gametes. The number of eggs produced depends on the size of the female, ranging from hundreds to thousands of eggs. Eggs are buoyant and hatch within a day or two to produce a larvae with a yolk sac attached. After a few days the yolk sac is absorbed and the larvae continue their pelagic stage. The larvae of butterfly fish are very distinct; the larvae, know as tholichthys, develop a series of armor-like plates over their heads and bodies. Eventually, the larvae settle on the reef and rapidly transform into juveniles that live in sandy areas around isolated coral heads and sponges, in sea grass beds, or in mangroves.Juveniles live alone until they reach sexual maturity at about one year of age.
Banded butterflyfish may occasionally act as cleaners.
Conservation Status
Banded butterflyfish are not considered to be a species at risk.
