Lion News caught up with Washington D.C. Dunbar HS head football coach Craig Jeffries recently to inquire about WR James McDonald and OT Kevin Wiggins. We first asked about McDonald.
"James is 6-3 185lbs. He runs in the mid to high 4.5's. He's a crafty guy who will play varsity all four years and be a three-year starter when he graduates. He runs excellent routes and does all the little things…he leans on guys, gets guys off him, he's an excellent blocker, he fights for the ball…he has huge hands! The only thing some schools might be concerned with is his speed, but he's a player who runs right by people in pads. He gets open and he can catch with his hands".
Who is recruiting James right now?
"Penn State, Boston College, Pitt and Stanford have offered. James is qualified already, but Stanford's offer is conditional on James getting a 1080 SAT which is needed to get into Stanford. Maryland, Syracuse, and UCLA are also recruiting James, but they have not offered yet".
James has already seen Pitt. "We played Steubenville HS in Ohio last year. On the way back from that game we stopped by Pittsburgh and saw their facilities and took in a Steelers game. Their facilities are great. The Pitt coach who was recruiting James took a job at UCLA though, so that offer is sort of up in the air right now".
What about Maryland? "James likes Maryland, but they haven't offered yet". Boston College? "Keith Willis is recruiting James for BC. He's nice, but I'm not sure how far away James wants to go".
And what about Penn State? "Larry Johnson is recruiting James for Penn State. Penn State has shown the strongest interest really. They are really focused on skill players this year. James likes the idea of playing in the Big10. He thinks they are the best thing going".
You have a big offensive lineman that people are talking about in Kevin Wiggins. What can you tell us about him?
"Kevin is 6-7 and 320lbs. He's all of that. He's very athletic, he has great flexibility, he drives and blocks down real well. He's excellent in his kick slides in pass pro(tection). He does what I like to call fold and unfold out of his stance. He looks like he's 6-2 220lbs when he's in his stance and then he unfolds up and out of his stance and he's 6-7 320lbs. We play against mostly smaller guys and he moves out and gets them. What he does should be illegal".
Kevin was named to the George Michael Elite 11 Football Team and the Washington Post All Met Team after a stellar junior year. The all Met selection encompasses an area from Frederick County Maryland to the North to almost Richmond, Virginia to the South and includes over 300 schools from which to select players. Wiggins was the only junior on the all Met offensive line.
What schools are recruiting Kevin?
"Maryland, Virginia, Syracuse, Pitt, and Kent State have offered already. Lot's of schools are recruiting him though. NC State, Ohio State, Michigan, Miami, Florida and Penn State are all recruiting Kevin".
Coach Jeffries told Lion News that he thought, after having stocked up on offensive linemen last year, Penn State might take only one offensive lineman this year.
"Penn State is really looking for skill players right now. They took a lot of linemen last year. They might only take one this year. But Kevin's right up there".
Is Kevin going to any junior days?
"He's been to Maryland and he might go up to Penn State".
And what about camps?
"He's definitely going to the Penn State Nike Camp. I think he's going to try summer camps at Ohio State, Maryland and Florida".

Comment of the day: My review of this review
Measured scientifically, there is exactly one shitload of explosions in the trailer for Battle: Los Angles, making the pyrotechnics seemingly the primary reason for the film's whole existence. That's why I spotlighted the movie on Friday in my weekly trailer analysis "This week's most ridiculous Movie Trailer." According to reader MikeM's "review of this review," though, my profanity was just as ridiculous as blowing a shitload of stuff up.
It is "just" a movie!
And I suppose your review of it using foul language is not as showboating as the movie. I would bet you couldn't effectively review anything without the use of foul language.
Just sayn' in my review of this review :-)
Well, Mike, I accept your challenge, and I will... wait, do I win anything? Oh. Well in that case, fuck it.

That was just a great F*ing movie and my song really fit well. The atmosphere was what I had in mind when I was composing it.
Glad you liked it :) Thanx for the song!
wow really nice, I think it shows us growing, in the experiences of life.
We are born into a cold world- snowfields
And we are taken into a warm location where danger is not presented to us so as not to scar us-cave
However as a child we like to explore and we make mistakes-underground
As a young adult we run from our past but it eventually catches up to us-the creature
Eventually when our story ends we finally escape from our demons, and the cycle starts over with the new generation
bro, this was awesome!, very smooth animation, good audio, all round great job, you should really make this into a series
Wow oxob!
My main man <3 I loved that animation
It reminded me of Brackenwood and Bitey's adventure with LittleFoot :D
Great animation, great graphics, great sound, great drama; made for an overall great animation. Well done!

Verbal Advantage Success Edition [Audiobook] by Charles Harrington Elster
English | ASIN: B000F6MO26 | MP3 VBR V5 | 23 hours | + PDF | 863 MB
Narrator: Charles Harrington Elster | Genre: Nonfiction/Vocabulary
People Judge You By The Words You Use.
Studies over many decades have proven that a strong command of the English language is directly linked to career advancement, to the money you make and even to social success. To move ahead in your career, your vocabulary level must at least equal the average level of the members of your profession. To excel, your vocabulary must surpass that of your colleagues. Every day, people judge you by the words you use. Rightly or wrongly, they make assumptions about your intelligence, your education and your capabilities. Nothing makes a better impression than a solid mastery of the English language.
Remove Obstacles In Your Path.
Not having a strong command of language can be a serious handicap, an obstacle that prevents you from achieving your goals. Someone who cannot express ideas eloquently, who hesitates because of uncertainty about the right word, can appear less than fully competent and qualified. Don't let that kind of mistake hold you back from achieving your career goals and from all the other rewards and recognition you deserve. So doesn't it make sense to have at your command as large, as diverse and as exact a vocabulary as possible?
With over 18 years of experience, Verbal Advantage is a proven leader in audio education. Top companies (IBM, Microsoft, XEROX, Disney, AT&T) and universities (Harvard, Yale, Duke, USC, UCLA) have responded by making Verbal Advantage an important part of their investment in education.
Program Features:
* 3,500 words.
* 23+ hours of listening time.
* In as little as 15 minutes a day, Verbal Advantage audio educational programs can substantially improve your overall vocabulary and communication skills.
* Take your vocabulary skills from a basic college level up to a PhD. level and put you in the top 5% of all educated adults when it comes to vocabulary skills.
* Words are graduated in difficulty.
* Each word is introduced one at a time, with the proper pronunciation, spelling, definition, antonyms and synonyms.
* Each word is used in a sentence or short story so you are able to use the word in its proper context.
* Short quiz - After every ten words there is a short true/false quiz so you can immediately see your level of retention.
* Guidebook contains 99 pages of audio program content. Including vowel, consonant, and foreign sounds with a key on how to properly pronounce sounds.
Program Benefits:
* You become more articulate and colorful when speaking.
* Gives you an excellent command of the English language.
* Allows you to be more competitive in your career.
* Gives you an edge over others

Luckily, I discovered baked smores thanks to Lovin' from the Oven- a super sweet dessert blog. Now I can enjoy all of that chocolately marshmallow yumminess without breaking a sweat.
I've made these several times now and the main thing that I've learned is that salted butter works better than unsalted butter or margarine. The batter is much stickier with margarine, puffs up more and is a little drier once baked. It still tastes good though so don't skip out on the recipe just because you don't have butter on hand.
I know this isn't a healthy recipe, but when you eat nutritiously most of the time, it's OK to indulge now and then. The trick is to not indulge yourself in the ENTIRE pan. Take some to a potluck, the office, a neighbor or a sick friend. You'll friends will love you for it.
Adapted from: Lovin' from the Oven
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized Hersey Bars
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (I used a small jar of generic fluff)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined. In another bowl combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients little at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Spread half of batter into pan. Lay Hershey bars on top and lightly press into dough. Spread marshmallow fluff over chocolate bars. Take small pieces of remaining dough, flatten into discs and place on top. If you used margarine instead of butter, you can just spread it on top.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. I like to cut it before it cools completely. It's easier to get through the marshmallow and chocolate bar if it's still kind of melty.

Styling Tips to Look Elegant in a Salwar Kameez
Jan 19th 2015 at 4:43 AM
A salwar kameez is one of the outfits that every woman loves to wear. A salwar kameez not only looks elegant but also provides comfort to the wearer. If you are looking for a wide variety, you can shop for salwar kameez online. The online shopping sites offer you salwar kameez of various materials, designs, styles and colors. Let us have a look at some styling tips that will make you look elegant in a salwar kameez.
- Pick the right fabric: While choosing a salwaar kameez, you must be extremely careful of the material you choose. Designer salwar kameez are available in fabrics like net and tissue. These make you appear beautiful, but at the same time make you look slightly heavy. Always ensure that you choose a fabric that gives you a slimmer look. Materials like crepe, chiffon, cotton and pure georgette not only look beautiful, but also give you a slimmer appearance.
- Choose the right neck and design: The neckline of the salwar kameez should be chosen according to your body type. High-necks, V-necks, A-line design, band necks and straight cuts are a great choice as they give a sleek appearance to the wearer. Also, Muslim women need to wear clothes that cover the entire body, so kameez of high-necks are an ideal choice for such women. If you are choosing a salwaar kameez of a revealing neck, make sure you tie the Hijab and bring the ends towards the front and tuck them under the neck of the kameez.
- Choosing the right length: A kameez that is neither too long nor too short is an ideal choice. The length of the kurti plays a major role in making you appear thin or plump. An extremely short kameez, flared kameez and too long kameez adds an unnecessary heavy look to your overall appearance. Make sure you choose the right length to get the perfect look.
- Choose the prints carefully: Choosing a salwaar kameez having small prints and delicate embroidery is a wise decision. If you wear a salwar kameez having huge prints and heavy embroidery, it is sure that you will look bulky. Choosing small prints and embroidery will not only make you appear slim, but will also give you a smart appearance.
- Choose the right kind of salwaar: Choosing the right kind of salwar is of utmost importance as it can make or break your appearance. Designers have come up with a huge variety of salwars, and you choose from the various options available. However, while selecting a salwar, make sure that you choose one according to your kameez type. For example, if you are wearing a short kameez, never wear a churidaar with it.
By following the above mentioned styling tips, you can look elegant in a salwar kameez and can wear the outfit to any occasion.

Periodical cleaning and sterilization, usually carried out during the process, are a key hygiene requirement, which tightens the demands on the drive technology used in production facilities.
Presenting new developments such as a special surface treatment and a new series of washdown helical bevel gearboxes, drive manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides technically and economically attractive solutions for machine builders and users.
NORD's new two-stage helical bevel gear units can be easily cleaned in any installation position.
A provider of oil-tight wet cell versions of geared motors, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has been delivering hygienic drive solutions for the food and beverage industry for some time. Special feature modifications available for the complete product range include suitability for extended temperature range operation, protective finishes, and special lubricants.
Introducing new washdown-optimised two-stage helical bevel gear units, NORD now also offers solutions that are designed to withstand frequent intense, aggressive cleaning processes. The systems are suitable for use with acids and alkaline solutions.
Since all external surfaces have been designed with wide radii, cleaning liquids wash off easily in all installation positions. Furthermore, there are no indentations or dead spaces. The gear unit housings, which are manufactured from die-cast aluminum, resist corrosion considerably better than steel models.
Through additional measures, such as the innovative NSD tupH surface treatment, they can be equipped with extra protection for specific applications. Designed according to the proven UNICASE principle, they provide excellent stability. The series covers five frame sizes with torques ranging from 90 to 660 Nm. All models are available in two versions: an open frame style – extremely lightweight yet with a very sturdy construction – and a closed type.
The washdown gear units are especially small and lightweight. Compared with its predecessor model, the power density has been improved by 60%. Therefore, they are suited not only for food industry applications, but also for other fields where standard helical bevel gearboxes are used, e.g. conveyor technology.
Their reduced weight minimizes energy consumption especially in applications where geared motors have to be moved. The compact new gear units feature larger, highly resilient output shaft bearings and are therefore suited for high forces. If required, optional double seals ensure increased safety. The gear units are equipped with a short IEC adapter.
They can be combined with NORD's complete state-of-the-art range of motors and with motors from other manufacturers, allowing customers to flexibly configure drive solutions. The washdown gear units are expected to be available from the second quarter of 2012.

William Wordsworth
(1770-1850) was born in northwestern England, the second of five children. He developed a great love of nature living in the beautiful countryside. He was especially close to his sister Dorothy and lived with her through much of his early adult life. He married Mary Hutchinson in 1802 and they were blessed with five children. He was named Poet Laureate of England in 1843, a position he held until the end of his life.
Wordsworth, along with Samuel Taylor
, began the period of Romanticism in English poetry. The publication of
Lyrical Ballads
by Wordsworth and Coleridge in 1798 was the most dramatic event in English literature since John Milton's Paradise Lost.
Lyrical Ballads
began with Coleridge's work,
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
, and ended with Wordsworth's poem,
Lines Written a few miles above Tintern Abbey.
Tintern Abbey was decommissioned in 1536 and fell into ruins following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. Wordsworth wrote the Preface to the Second Edition of
Lyrical Ballads
in 1800 in which he defined the nature of romantic poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings," which "takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity."
The Virgin
is a poem from Part II of his 1822
Ecclesiastical Sonnets
and is a tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary, "tainted nature's solitary boast."
The Virgin
Mother! whose virgin bosom was uncrost
With the least shade of thought to sin allied;
Woman! above all women glorified,
Our tainted nature's solitary boast;
Purer than foam on central ocean tost;
Brighter than eastern skies at daybreak strewn
With fancied roses, than the unblemished moon
Before her wane begins on heaven's blue coast;
Thy Image falls to earth. Yet some, I ween,
Not unforgiven the suppliant knee might bend,
As to a visible Power, in which did blend
All that was mixed and reconciled in Thee
Of mother's love with maiden purity,
Of high with low, celestial with terrene!
William Wordsworth

I hope he gets more than 10 years.
If you rob people you should stay in prison until you can make your victims whole.
This Department of Justice press release reports the arrest in France of an alleged old-timer in the international "carding" community. US Secret Service agents contacted him over ICQ, and arranged to buy more than 70 credit card numbers from him. He will soon be extradited to America.
Snip from Kim Zetter's related story at Wired News:
Vladislav Anatolievich Horohorin, 27, aka BadB, holds dual-citizenship in Ukraine and Israel and was one of the earliest members of CarderPlanet, a first of its kind Russian-language carding forum that was launched around 2002 by a group of East Europeans. CarderPlanet was shuttered in 2004, and BadB had more recently been selling his stolen goods at carder.su and on his own websites, dumps.name and badb.biz, where he promoted his product in lighthearted Flash cartoons like the one above.Above, BadB's animated calling card. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of access-device fraud and two years if found guilty of aggravated identity theft. Read the full Wired News item here: Alleged Carder 'BadB' Busted in France. Related reports: Reuters, AP, Bloomberg.
Authorities say the network created by Horohorin and other CarderPlanet veterans is linked to "nearly every major intrusion of financial information reported to the international law enforcement community."
Way back in 2011, major American automakers were slow to realize that "companies in Silicon Valley have for some time been looking at cars just like another mobile device or app." When the disruption, hit, it hit hard, writes Nick Bilton:

Feh, the banks pay for credit card fraud. I'm not saying its a victimless crime, but we aren't talking about rape here.
The U.S. has 1/4 of the world's prison population, which is absurd, and I say we don't need to make it worse by imprisoning people for massive chunks of their lives for non violent crimes.
Credit card fraud is like stealing every cent the person owns, as well as a ton of money they don't and then destroying their reputation and credibility.
I can't even begin to conceive of how you could think it's no big deal unless it's never happened to you or you've done it to someone else.
So why would you want to pay even more money to keep them in prison? Unless you own stock in Halliburton, imprisoning a large segment of the population for non-violent crimes just empties your wallet.
The idea is to punish criminal acts, and deter others from committing them.
Is the system perfect? (insert rant here).
But that's the idea. The notion that only violent crime merits imprisonment is ludicrous.
That video is awesome. I'm sold. How do I contact this guy? Oh yeah, right.
Whenever we have posts about this kind of thing, we actually get spam from people selling card skimmers. Yay entrepreneurship!
this guy's still using ICQ? no wonder he got caught, jesus!
I still maintain my ICQ account for old times' sake. The only thing I ever get from it is the occasional fake friend request containing spam for Russian hacker sites. (If I spoke Russian I could elaborate more, but sadly Digsby doesn't let you copy text out of the dialog box, so I can't translate it.)
Can they *really* make Condi Rice's eyeballs fall out?
*Now* I'm tempted!
Chop off the head, two grow in its place. Sadly.
I'll be tempted to believe that's a bad thing when filesharing is no longer a crime punishable in civil court.
Lobster and wrybread, the distinction your making is between two extremes:
1. Someone steals your credit card. You spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of your life settling debts and proving that you are who you say you are. False charges come back to haunt you years later when you discover someone's records, somewhere, weren't really corrected.
2. Someone steals your credit card. They buy something obviously out of your normal purchase patterns and geography. The credit card company calls you and asks if you made the purchase. You say, "No." You get a new credit card number.
I've heard stories of both outcomes. One is less of a problem to the card using individual than the other, but that doesn't mean it isn't a big deal either way. It's still fraud/stealing.
My credit card number was stolen last month, and I had something closer to experience #2, but I was still a hassle, so I hope he gets the max. Sure, it costs money to keep him in prison, but it obviously costs lots of people lots of money to have him running around loose. Prison has multiple purposes: prevention, punishment, deterrence, and rehabilitation. It's pretty bad at rehabilitation, but it's pretty good at the other three.
they'll extradite this guy but not roman polanski? wtf?
Polanski was arrested in Switzerland, not France.
Anyway, French law forbids extradition of French citizens by France. So, had this guy been French, he would have been judged in France.
Yeah, It costs money to keep people like him in prison, but I like to think of it as insurance payments.
Um, I'm a bit surprised to find out that some people thing that banks will somehow magically fix your credit and restore your funds. Guess what? Those protections vary from state to state and only cover personal accounts. If you have a business debit card and someone steals your money there is no guarantee that you'll ever get your money back.
So is prison only for nonviolent offenders? Okay. Why don't you just settle in with con artists, child porn purchasers, embezzlers, thieves, repeat DUI offenders, industrial polluters, Enron execs, recording industry lawyers, dirty cops, sex traffickers, weapons smugglers, and televangelists.
Some of these things can be violent or lead to violence, but its easy to defend yourself of these things by claiming non-violent innocence. It's astonishing that some people like that the only non-violent crimes are pot smoking and CC stealing.
"The notion that only violent crime merits imprisonment is ludicrous. "
I would love to have thieves working on sweatshops*, instead i'm paying for their food with my taxes.
So I kinda like the idea of isolation for violence, and forced labor until you pay what you stole plus a fine for theft.
*You don't actually have to make the sweatshop nasty, with whipping and stuff like that.
"I would love to have thieves working on sweatshops*, instead i'm paying for their food with my taxes."
No. Google "Federal Prison Industries".
One reason we have so many "non-violent" criminal offenses and such long prison terms is that prisoners are in fact a source of very cheap domestic labor.
> The notion that only violent crime merits imprisonment is ludicrous.
What about the notion that only violent crime merits super crazy insane long-ass prison terms?
The punishment should be proportional to how much it hurts an individual times how many individuals it hurts. (Also, crimes that are hard to detect usually get harsher punishments than crimes that are easy to detect, because those crimes need more deterence.)
Attempted murder is much, much worse than stealing someone's money. But, hurting 1000 people (a number that I just made up) is much, much worse than hurting one person. Is trying to kill one person better or worse than stealing from 1000? I don't know, but it might be. 1000 is a pretty big number!
Anyone know the song in the video? It's awesome!
Credit Card fraud is a serious crime. It kind of makes me sick that this guy will serve at most 12 years, and there are people in jail for longer than that, just because they have a substance abuse problem.
If only he had gotten a job as an executive at one of the banks he could have taken all that money "legally".
Precisely . . .
He doesn't need Prison.
I say we dig a large deep hole, toss him in and let him rot.
Getting ripped off this way can absolutely disable a life for years. It's just brutal.
F*%k this pile of human garbage and anyone who thinks it's not a big deal.
I wonder if he traded my CC#?
If so, I want my pound of flesh.
And f*%k you right back!
I still think bashing someone on the head to take their money is way worse than stealing their credit card numbers, even a million of them, and anyone who incorrectly capitalizes "prison" is unlikely to convince me otherwise.
Whoops, guess I forgot to click "reply", but my comment above was to agates/#28.

When your Chevrolet Impala Limited left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values value in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile. Car aficionados know that a brand you can trust is built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only the best replacement Impala Limited parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Spark Plug for your vehicle.
Sometimes the most important performance parts are the smallest, but they can be forgotten about when performing regular maintenance. The job of creating a spark in the combustion chambers that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the engine is your Chevrolet Impala Limited spark plug. Several different metals (copper, platinum, iridium) can be used for the spark plug's electrode on all current models. Should a spark plug fail to do its job, the engine in your Chevrolet Impala Limited will not turn as hard; leading to an increase in unburnt hydrocarbon emissions and a decrease in horsepower and fuel economy.

Harry I mean.
That makes me almost as sad as the fact that Remus is dead.
| Storm Black chapter 1 . 9/6/2009
Aw, that was very bittersweet. I love how you characterized Harry as not really thinking about Teddy, but then he stepped up and really helped him. I really enjoyed this
| Queen of Snow chapter 1 . 2/11/2009
| Katterree Fengari chapter 1 . 2/16/2008
Hm...Yeah, Harry and Ted's relationship really is an interesting thing. At the beginning of the ficlet, I thought Harry was being a little callous, but I guess if you have your own kids, you wouldn't have your mind on the orphaned godson.
(Actually, the reason for Harry to be in Hogwarts is a little weak- all his kids are younger and not there, and yes, Neville's kickass, but there are other sources to find out if a plant is poisonous, and he could have just owl'ed him.)
Haha, unable to sleep during a full moon, nice.
...but they would have totally told him Lupin was a werewolf, right?
| T. Whirlpool chapter 1 . 1/1/2008
This is sweet. Like Foo-foo-Cuddly-Poops sweet. Maybe you could include something on Harry and Teddy's first meeting?

omgz! i lurve this! its so awesome! teddy lupin is so open for possibilities and i luv him already. all though in the book he was like a baby but dude. itd be so great if harry was all father figure to him. u did a really awesome job on this fic!
| Wohitzi chapter 1 . 7/31/2007
Aw, this was so sweet. Poor Teddy... T.T
| porcelaindakota chapter 1 . 7/24/2007
*flail* I've been digging around for good post-DH fic, and I love this so! Teddy is just too adorable-and I'm still mad Remus and Tonks died, darn it!
But, er... if you continue this... you should totally find some way to work Ron/Hermione into it. Even though that would probably be extremely difficult, because it's mainly about Teddy and Harry... but eh. XD maybe just forget I even said anything.
Anywho, love this. _
| ttfn.tahtahfornow chapter 1 . 7/23/2007
Really sweet!
I can't wait for FF dot net to add the new characters to those lists of main characters to choose from. . .
Teddy Lupin is adorable.
Great job.
| knoelle89 chapter 1 . 7/23/2007
i was hoping that in the epilogue that there woul dbe a little more of harry being godfatherly to teddy, so i was delighted to see your story posted!
i really loved it.. seeing harry be so protective and gentle to him as others had been to harry.
good story :)
| grindylow07 chapter 1 . 7/23/2007
Love it. It's very well-written, and I love how you've portrayed both Teddy and an older Harry. The only thing that doesn't quite make sense is why Harry would go to Hogwarts to see Neville instead of flooing his head or something... Oh well, creative liberty, I guess.
| MR4EVA chapter 1 . 7/23/2007
So, are you going to continue, cause I like it so far. So I guess that he is a little less of Lupin and a little more of Tonks. I guess that is a good thing.
| we-r-the-cure chapter 1 . 7/23/2007
Yay! I love Teddy Lupin too! hehe. We should start a fan club.;-) Great chapter! I can't wait for more! Please update soon!

Cute! I can't wait to see more of Teddy! Haha. I love the idea of him, and what people will make of him too D

Ohmuguh...you had me bleary eyed. Please please please do more of these?

ImmunoGen takes over top spot among cancer biotechs in the state
ImmunoGen Inc. has taken over the number one spot on the list of the state's largest locally-owned cancer drug developers as ranked by market cap, but as CEO Dan Junius acknowledges, "it was an ugly way to get there."
The 32-year-old Waltham biotech was number two on the list until last week, when Ariad Pharmaceuticals saw a 75 percent stock crash following an FDA-mandated halt in enrollment in a late-stage trial of its sole product on the market - leukemia drug Iclusig - over safety concerns. While Ariad still has more employees (450 as of a few weeks ago, versus 280 at ImmunoGen), its market cap shrank to just $825 million as of Thursday, while ImmunoGen's is nearly $1.5 billion.
Junius, who has been with the company since 2005 and in his current role since 2009, said that his company develops antibody-drug conjugates — anti-cancer drugs attached to an antibody that can bind with cells. The drug disrupts the process by which cells divide, effectively stopping a cancer cell from multiplying while leaving a healthy cell unaffected. That approach is not new, and is currently being pursued by drug giants such as Pfizer and Roche as well as smaller biotechs such as Seattle Genetics. It has an advantage over the tack taken by Ariad and other gene-based drug developers, says Junius, in that it potentially applies to cancers that are caused by a multitude of genetic mutations, rather than just one.
So far, the company, which has a manufacturing facility in Norwood, has subsisted on revenues from a variety of partnerships with Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, Bayer, Biotest and Amgen. The one drug it has helped develop which has been approved, breast cancer drug Kadcyla, has been on the market since February. ImmunoGen recived $592,000 in royalties from its partner on that drug, Roche. That's less than 2 percent of the total revenues the company made. (ImmunoGen reported $35 million in revenues for the fiscal year that ended in June.) The rest of the sales came from license and milestone fees, research and development support and clinical materials revenue.
Junius says that Kadcyla - as the only antibody-drug conjugate that has received full (as opposed to accelerated) approval - is helping establish the validity of ImmunoGen's approach to fighting cancer.
"It certainly demonstrates the effectiveness of the broad field of antibody-drug conjugates, and the caliber of our technology," he said.
The long-term goal of the company remains the development and launch of its own cancer drug, and all the revenue from its various partnerships is ultimately going to pay for that, Junius said. The next big steps toward that goal will come in mid-2014, he said, when data from a Phase 2 trial of a potential treatment for small-cell lung cancer, as well as a Phase 1 trial of a candidate aimed at ovarian and other cancers, is due to be reported. Junius says the Phase 2 data in particular will determine whether or not the company will continue on to a late-stage trial.
The company's stock is trading at $17.20 a share Thursday, just about the average of price targets for 15 analysts who now cover the company. Of those analysts, six rate it a "buy," seven rate it "neutral" and just two rate it "sell."

This is nice wire. Although they advertise Oxygen free copper, this is only true for the positive channel, the negative channel appears to be either copper coated aluminum, or aluminum tinned OFC.
Insulation is high quality/durable, easy to pull. True 10AWG conductor size. Performs better than the solid 10AWG NMWU type wire I was using temporarily, clearer bass on my subs. I recommend.

I used this for some higher powered sub woofers and the larger gauge cable really makes them shine. The cable is flattened too so it is easier to run them along a floor or wall. The craftsmanship is great and I expect no issues with this cable!

So over the last week or so, the Actresses Without Teeth Tumbr Tumblog has been gaining a massive number of fans across the internet — and I'm not completely sure why. I mean, for some reason, when I see this:
and this:
I can't help but think of this:
And that's just silly. But this image is just...terrifying.
Seriously, three things come to mind with that image: Lovecraftian, eldrich abominations; anti-meth PSAs; and the Nietzche quote, "...when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
Really, great work by the people at Actresses Without Teeth. I'm just not sure I'm going to be able to sleep well tonight, now that I've realized that Julia Roberts is some kind of horrifying sea monster.

Talk:Hugh J. Schonfield
|WikiProject Biography
"A Jew who termed himself a "Nazarene," meaning that he believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah, he believed that Jesus did not found Christianity, that St. Paul did, because he was mentally ill and thought he was himself the Messiah."
This is ambiguous: Who was mentally ill and thought he was himself the Messiah?
suggested rewrite:
"A Jew who termed himself a "Nazarene," meaning that he believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah. He believed that Jesus did not found Christianity, *but* St. Paul did. *Schonfield thought St. Paul* was mentally ill and believed himself *to be* the Messiah."
Janosabel 17:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Dates of Schonfield's birth and death? RDH
If Schonfield studied officially at the University of Glasgow why is he not known to them as an Alumni? They have no record of him. I asked. Check it out please. I do know he was at a Glasgow Bible College, but it was not affiliated with the University. I suspect he did not actually have a Universtiy degree, great though his self-taught knowledge may have been.
He was a Doctor of Letters (DSLitt) one of the highest doctorates you can get. He went to St Paul's School (and I have verified this) You can find more info on www.schonfield.org
Schonfield's exact academic qualifications[edit]
It is no good relying on St. Paul's to say if he went to Glasgow university or not. You have to ask the University concerned. I do know he went to Glasgow Bible College as a young man in about 1921. This is now known as the International Christian College and his signature and records of his stay can be seen in the archives if you look. I was told by a Glasgow university archivist that there was no record of him. But that was only by phone. Why don't you contact them yourself and check it out? Perhaps I am wrong. This message is for Wikipedia too. I don't know what a DS.Litt is. Do you mean D. Litt? Information in public encyclopedias should be absolutely accurate.
I read somewhere (possibly in a book by Schonfield himself) that later in life, he recanted his following of Jesus.Toddsschneider (talk) 09:06, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Text moved from article, needs work and refs[edit]
Schonfield believed, furthermore, that Jesus was aware of and believed in himself as born to fulfill the role of the Jewish Messiah, and consciously made the effort to see that the prophecies were fulfilled in his daily life (and death); that Jesus did not intend to found a new religion, but intended instead to lead to the fulfillment of God's covenant with the Jewish people as documented in the Hebrew Bible; that Christianity, the religion, was the product of Jesus' followers, especially as proclaimed to "the Nations", i.e., non-Jewish people, at which point the connection to Jesus' original purpose was lost.
This disconnect from the original message occurred over a period of time, under great distress (wars, loss of nationhood, slavery, exile from Jerusalem and Palestine), and for a multitude of reasons. Among those who are mentioned as having distorted the message is Saul of Tarsus, also known as the Apostle Paul, who Schonfield depicts as mentally ill and as believing himself to be the Messiah. This is ironic given Schonfield is an Old Pauline, having been educated at a school bearing the Apostle's name. Schonfield believes that Jesus, himself, had nothing but good intentions in living his life out as predicted for the Messiah; Schonfield questions the result of the distortion at the hands of some of his followers, and at the hands of some who used this burgeoning new religion for less than honourable purposes.
Schonfield encourages believers in Jesus to take a critical view of what is told to them about him, and to endeavor to learn about the historical Jesus, how he fit into his times and land, and what was the purpose of his original message— faith in the Scriptures, living the exemplary life according to them, and for the purpose of alleviating misery, and making a difference to humanity.

BeschreibungThe 1908 National League pennant race was without question the most exciting and dramatic battle of all time. Three teams, the Giants, the Cubs, and the Pirates, battled from start to finish, concluding the season with just one game separating them in the standings. The story of this race is like a Hall of Fame sprung to life, including John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance, Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown, and Honus Wagner. Yet the one name that truly stands out belongs to a young Giant rookie, Fred Merkle. His base-running blunder in a key game between the Giants and the Cubs cost the New Yorkers the pennant through an entirely unforeseeable set of circumstances that set off a near-riot in New York. More than mere history,

Living with a chronic disease is not easy. Having so many changes happen so fast is just as hard to deal with as the pain. I am still learning the new me and trying hard to pay attention to what is different now. It has been difficult to notice some of the symptoms I am left with since the pain died down, which seems to be nerve related. So I had my first visit to the neurologist in which I learned I will need to remove few items on my wish list because of neck damage, no sports, not even jumping in a pool. I also cannot wear a helmet.
I did however; get to check off a few items on my wish list. I went to visit with my family and a friend in Indiana, went to see Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake and Palmer at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, did the Unity Run in Pasadena and I am still walking daily. I did wear myself out in Indiana, I have difficulty pacing myself and other times I have difficulty staying on track. It is crazy. Even though most of the time it was good stress while getting to visit family, the length of the day was longer than my normal day at home.
I visited my sister for awhile I was in Indiana and she was doing well. But now she is in the hospital for the second time in the last two weeks and I spoke to her on the phone this morning. I wish I could be there to help her more, I know how difficult it is to deal with the changes, pain, anxiety and fatigue. Please pray for her full recovery.
During the last year of flaring, when I was missing being able to use my camera, I began playing with my food and making faces. Even in pain I would stand in the kitchen, choose the produce and create a face. I found it gave me some peace. Sometimes it is difficult to find peace while living with this disease and when you do find it, it disappears again. I used to enjoy using the camera all the time, the few seconds framing the shot and taking the photo made me feel at peace. Riding on the back of the Harley with Lloyd made me feel peace. When I began playing with my food and making faces I took a photo of each face and now it is a juicing recipe book called "Faces of Juicing". In every photo sits the knife I used to cut up the fruits and vegetables, it may seems strange but since my mother lost the use of her hands first I thought I would take advantage of still being able to use those knives.
This past week I joined Team SarcASm of Walk Your A.S. Off, Lloyd is participating as well. This is an easy walk that anyone can join. If you are already doing walks daily you can track your steps and submit them to your team leader each week. The team leader will submit them to Walk Your A.S. Off, it is that simple. You can track your steps with a pedometer or calculate them as 2000 steps per mile. Lloyd and I each submitted 42,000 steps, so that makes 84,000 steps together this past week. If you want to join Team SarcASm let me know or contact Hurt Blogger, she is the team leader for Team SarcASm.
I also joined the Unity Run Pasadena on Sunday April 21st, 2013 for my first three mile walk, the furthest distance I have been during a walk since remission started a couple months ago. Doing some community or awareness walks is part of my "Remission Wish List".
The Unity Run Pasadena gathering was in honor and support of those at Boston Marathon 2013 attack. The short notice and informal gathering was only successful because of the support of the community. Follow the Unity Run Facebook Page to see photos from the Pasadena event as well as other Unity Runs that take place worldwide. You can see all the photos of the Unity Run Pasadena at Got Baddog.
Before the Unity Run began there was a moment of silence in honor of those at the Boston Marathon 2013. Also there was someone playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes right before the start. You can see the video on CNN; this was also my first time being vetted on CNN.
I am looking forward to more walking and I will continue to walk each day that I can.
This week I am another year older but I feel so much younger than the last couple years. I am not sure how long this will last but I think I will start making a "Bucket List" or "Wish List"; really it is my "Remission List". What do I want to do while feeling good or before the next flare? I have a few ideas already, so here we go.
My Remission List
It has been an amazing month of standing as long as I like, forgetting I have my shoes on, walking up and down hills at the flower park, forgetting I have my purse on my shoulder and holding my camera with the heavy lens and flash unit on it without any pain. I have not felt this pain and fatigue free since 2009 and I have missed it! Mobic has been providing the extra relief in the last month. I am unsure if this drug can be taken long term. I stop taking it in another 6 weeks, so I am going to enjoy the pain free times while I have it.
In 6 weeks we will see if the 10 mg of Arava in combination with the Cimzia keeps me pain free. Also it will be warmer then and I could be pain free because of weather. Can Mobic be taken in the winter months only? For me this is the start of remission and hopefully with a few tweaks of drugs I will stay this way for awhile.
Seems like that is what my Rheumatoid Arthritis may be doing to my thyroid. Two out of three tests in the last year have come back hypothyroidism. I have also had symptoms of hyperthyroidism and some of the symptoms can be from the Rheumatoid Disease and the drugs, this makes it a little more confusing. According to PubMed Health hypothyroidism can be caused by "An attack of the thyroid gland by the immune system", which is what the Endocrinology doctor believes is happening. We could start treating now or see if I can lose weight now that the Rheumatoid Disease (previously known as Rheumatoid Arthritis) seems to be coming under control and test again to see if I am in normal ranges again. So 10 days ago I started to watch what I am eating and going for longer walks to see if I can lose some weight. I have lost 5 lbs so far. Continue reading

In addition to the Executive Committee, the Executive Team comprises a number of officers.
About Officers
Officers are appointed by the Executive with the remit of being either
- an assistant to a specific Director, or
- filling a position with a specific and limited remit
Appointment to an Officer position is for a period of one year, renewable annually or as otherwise defined by the Executive Committee.
Officers do not have a vote in Executive matters although it is expected both that officers will play a full part in the deliberations of the Executive and that their views will be treated with equal weight as those of Executive Committee members.
Officers may either report to a member of the Executive Committee or to the Executive Committee itself.
In certain circumstances, an Officer may be styled 'Assistant Director'. This title has been used to denote a developmental role in the past. Now however, it typically denotes the Officer working with a Director and taking more of a 'working with' rather than 'working under' role.
The decision to recruit a particular officer role is taken by the Executive Team with a full and open recruitment process across the Membership taking place thereafter.

The Brit Awards are this evening, and are set to be the most banal and predictable music award ceremony yet, complete with the prerequisite guitar-clutching balladeer centre stage.
In many ways, this year's event feels like it is set in 2013. Sam Smith – who has his first number one two years ago, and won four Grammy awards early this month – is contender for British Breakthrough Act. Cvurches, who were one of the BBC's 'Sound of 2013' choices, is also up for the 'Breakthrough' award, in 2015 when they could easily have been contenders for Best Band.
Brit Awards 2015 winners in full
And the other categories are equally disheartening. British Male is a toss-up between Smith and Sheeran, the latter of whom once rapped about how he "never went to Brit School" but now might as well have; while British Female had people blinking at the inclusion of Lily Allen and wondering whether that was seriously the best we could come up with.
Perhaps even more depressingly, the British Album category is entirely dominated by men despite some truly brilliant offerings from female acts in 2014, making the treatment of women by the music industry look even more dire than it did last year (just take a look at 2015's Reading and Leeds line-up if you need proof).
Even the international artist categories – which are usually, embarrassingly, the most interesting and diverse groups of nominees at the Brits – seem bland and obvious.
Pharrell is credited with one of the most irritating singles ("Happy") to have ever made it into the charts, while Lana Del Ray sounds bored even as she's singing her own music, but both are up for their respective male and female categories.

Fans vote for British video, so the only question for that category is whether Ed Sheeran's army can out-hashtag the One Direction-ers. My guess is not.
Perhaps most laughable is the inclusion of Coldplay for Best British band, when guessing how many bacon sandwiches Chris Martin had for breakfast after his "conscious uncoupling" from Gwyneth Paltrow is a more interesting pastime than listening to 2014's Ghost Stories.
Going to around three gigs a week, I get to hear everything from pop to rock, electronica to indie and hip hop to folk and Americana. Minus holidays and times when there wasn't really anything on, that works out at about 130 gigs in the last year.
During those 130 performances, I've seen a heck of a lot of talent. That and an unhealthy addiction to Spotify is more than enough to know that there is plenty of diversity in British music. The problem is we're just not acknowledging it.

When are the Brits and what time do they start on TV?
Brit Awards 2015 nominations list in full
Being at the Brits nominations themselves almost brought me to tears, because the kids who attend Brit School would burst into ecstatic shrieks at Sam Smith and George Ezra, then look utterly nonplussed when the far more talented and interesting Jack White, The War On Drugs, St Vincent and First Aid Kit flashed up on the screen.
Whatever else they're being taught, the main lesson appears to be that commercial success is rewarded, no matter how bland and banal you have to be to get there.
The acts that succeed tonight will continue to be overhyped and overplayed for the remainder of 2015: musicians who are "really nice" and say sweet things about their mums and choose tea over a tequila shot.
Just look at this year's Critics' Award: James Bay! What did James Bay do to persuade the critics to give him an award, aside from wear a stupid hat and look moody? Likewise with the presenters themselves – family favourites Ant and Dec – who shouldn't even be allowed near a music ceremony after "Let's Get Ready To Rumble".
Meanwhile this year's NME awards, which were supposed to be the fun, raucous, outrageous solution to the Brits, were about as controversial as afternoon tea. They hurled trophies at straight white men including Kasabian, who produced a terrible album, then kicked up a massive fuss when no one rushed to tell them how amazing they are, and whose idea of rock and roll behaviour is slagging off One Direction once a month.
The Brits are a popularity contest and are unlikely to change over the next few years. But that doesn't stop me from hoping Fat White Family will storm the 02 Arena during one of Ed Sheeran's acceptance speeches and piss all over the stage.Reuse content
