Holders Etoile Sahel face tough tie in Zimbabwe
JOHANNESBURG, April 24 (Reuters) - Holders Etoile Sahel face a difficult tie away in Zimbabwe on Sunday when they continue the defence of their African Champions League crown against Dynamos in Harare.
The Tunisian side, who won their first Champions League title last year, are among eight former winners of Africa's top club prize seeking to advance past the third round and into the group phase, which kicks off in July.
Etoile's French coach Bertrand Marchand, who has turned down the chance to take over as Tunisia coach, can choose from a full strength squad for the first time in months but will be mindful that Dynamos beat them 1-0 in the group phase a decade ago.
Clubs from north Africa are likely again to dominate in the last knockout round with a real chance all eight qualifiers for the group phase will come from Arabic-speaking countries.
Last year's runners-up Al Ahli play their first game after two successive byes in previous rounds when they meet Platinum Stars from South Africa in Pretoria on Saturday.
Coach Manuel Jose said he expected a tough game but that Al Ahli were intent on a winning start against their inexperienced opponents.
The Cairo giants clinched the Egyptian premier league for a fourth successive year on Monday and are likely to be in celebratory mood.
Zamalek, who went second in the Egyptian championship on Tuesday, have a home tie in Cairo on Saturday against Angola's InterClube.
Libya's Al Ittihad, semi-finalists last year along with Al Hilal of Sudan, have a home match against three times winners TP Mazembe Englebert.
Al Hilal host South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns, whose domestic form has been on an upturn after a disappointing start to their league season.
'It's very important to get a result considering we want to go as far as possible in the competition,' Sundowns midfielder Brent Carelse said on the eve of his team's departure.
'They are a tough team with experience. We will give it our best, to get something back home to give ourselves advantage in the return leg.'
Tunisia's Club Africain will be without striker Oussema Sellami for their match away to Enyimba of Nigeria, title winners in 2003 and 2004, on Sunday.
The return legs will be played on the weekend of May 9-11.

People who own iPhones use them to watch a lot more video than people who own Android phones. Twice as much, according to Web video company Ooyala.
The main caveat here is that Ooyala isn't measuring all Web video everywhere — just the stuff that it serves up via its own service and player. But Ooyala handles a lot of video — it boasts some 200 million unique viewers worldwide — so it has at least some insight into the way people watch stuff. The other caveat is that this gap will probably close over time.

Cuticles are very important since they protect the toes between the toenail and the nail bed. The cuticles on toes start from the bottom of the white nail tip to the base. The cuticles play a great role if you seek for healthy-looking and well manicured toes. Cutting or scraping them away is harmful to the toes and is also painful. Sometimes, they can even cause an infection if not cared properly. After the removal of excess cuticles, pamper toenails as well as the cuticle area to prevent unwanted growth and to promote healthy toenails. Here are specific tips on how to remove cuticles from toenails. Start when you prepare the things that you need such as clean towel, warm water in a pan or foot bath, cuticle remover product, cuticle trimmer or orange stick or cuticle pusher.
Tip #1: Soften your cuticles.
Before anything else, soak your feet to soften the cuticles on your toenails. For a more relaxing foot soak, you can use a bubbling foot spa but a simple pan of warm water is equally effective. Adding a few drops of essential oil or a scented body wash is also great to clean or soothe your feet.
Tip #2: Dry your feet.
Dry your feet thoroughly with a clean towel. Remove the excess water from the toes so that the cuticle remover can penetrate to the cuticles. Drying the feet can also help your grip since you use sharp tools around the cuticle area.
Tip #3: Massage the toenails.
Massage the toenail area with a cream or gel. You can use Shea butter cream into the cuticles so that they become softer and supple then apply a cuticle remover onto your toes. Use your fingers to apply the cuticle remover since using the applicator from the bottle can introduce bacteria from your feet into the product.
Tip #4: Push your cuticles back gently.
Push the cuticles back to the nail bed firmly but gently. You can use a metal cuticle pusher or use the flattened end of an orange stick. Start at one end of the toenail going toward the cuticle line of the nail. Try to press the cuticles as far back off of the toenails without causing any pain. Push the cuticle of the orange stick until they are flush with the skin at the beginning of the toenail.
Tip #5: Use a cuticle trimmer.
With a cuticle trimmer, clip the excess skin and cuticle and snip small areas of loosened cuticle at a time. Be sure that the trimmer has cleanly cut the cuticle to avoid tearing of the skin.
Tip #6: Soak your nails again.
Soak your toes again to remove all traces of the cuticle remover product from your toes. Nail polish will not adhere to the nails if there are left residues.
Tip #7: Use a nail buffer.
Rub a nail buffer also to your cuticles and toenails so as to remove any excess cuticle skin and at the same time making your toenails well polished and looking shine. Do this procedure once a week.
Tip #8: Use nail strengthener.
Try to polish your nails with a clear nail strengthener or you can massage Vitamin E oil into the cuticles after you buff them. Doing this method every day help prevent the cuticles from growing back over the toenail.
These are tips to help you remove excess cuticles from your toenails. Also, it is very important to disinfect all your pedicure tools because if not, they can cause infection. Try to include your footbath.

Johannesburg – Bulls captain Pierre Spies said it was important for his side to get back on the winning trail after their 40-26 victory over the Cheetahs in Pretoria on Saturday.
"I think the biggest challenge was just to get past this weekend to see what the three weeks ," Spies said.
"It was good for us to get a win tonight. It was very important to play well, and also for us, we lost three games in a row, so we needed to get back on the horse."
The Bulls were in fine form on Saturday as they ran in six tries to the four the Cheetahs scored in the last 20 minutes of the match.
While the visitors looked out of sorts for most of the match, they seemed to kick on in the final quarter.
Bulls coach Frans Ludeke opted to give Springbok players Spies, Morne Steyn and Francois Hougaard a well deserved rest as he sent his bench on early in the second half.
"I think we did well tonight and in that last 20 minutes I think we took our foot off the peddle," Spies said.
"We lost concentration and the Cheetahs came back with some tries."
While the Cheetahs stormed back into the match to secure a bonus point, Ludeke believed it was an opportune time to give his replacement players a run.
"There are many players like Louis Fouche and Jano Vermaak who don't get a lot of game time and I think it was definitely the right thing to do," Ludeke said.
"Then there were guys like Pierre, Morne and Hougie that played in all of the Springbok Tests."
Ludeke felt his side's strong defensive display was crucial in their victory over the Cheetahs.
"I thought our defence was good," he said.
"In the first half we squeezed a few turnovers and we were accurate from there and actually all our tries from the first half came from turnover ball.
"I thought we had a lot of trouble covering the chip kicks and suddenly they got three tries on us.
"They got some belief and they started to enjoy it and they kept coming, so we had our hands full in the second half."
Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske said the Bulls suffocated his team of quick ball, which proved to be their downfall.
"We didn't get intensity or momentum and they managed to slow our ball down at breakdown time," Drotske said.
"We are a team that need quick ball from breakdowns to play our normal pattern and that didn't happen in the first half."
Drotske admitted they had not played well in the first period of the game.
"We were under pressure – 26-0 half-time – and against any team, especially the Bulls at Loftus, you're not going to come back from that." – Sapa

Woodworking Abroad
I returned to the Chippendale International School of Furniture in Scotland to teach for my second year, and I am once again inspired by their mix of traditional techniques, ability to adapt to new situations, and their progressive and unabashed approach to furniture making. (See my previous blog on the school.)
While I'm here, I thought I'd share some immediate insights and write more upon my return to the States.
I started my adventure with the double punch of snow storms that wreaked havoc on travel on the East Coast. This event caused me a four-day delay and four flight cancellations and changes; arriving at the school a half day late; and 26 hours of being awake (I couldn't sleep on the flight). So I hit the ground running and taught for five hours upon my arrival. Okay, that's enough complaining about getting here.
So in between catching up on much needed sleep, ten hours of instruction a day, sampling the local Scotch, hand drawn ales, and haggis, I am delighted and awed by some of the unique things here that make me say, "Why didn't I think of that?" Everywhere I look I see fun innovative ideas; they might not be my style, but I love the risk-free atmosphere. Here are a few observations:
· Three-Wheeled Dolly: Sounds simple enough, but with only three wheels they save 25% on the cost of casters. Great idea.
· Sawdust Stove: This metal box burns four buckets of sawdust at a time, for up to four hours. This stove cranks out the heat, and heats the entire 2000 SF shop. They also burn any and all wood scrapes. In addition, the homemade heat hood gathers hot air above and pumps it into another machine room.
· Speaking of heat, the residential side of the 1820 farm house-turned-into-Scotland's-finest-woodworking-school uses an open fire place for its heat. It may not be as efficient as my airtight Vermont Castings Vigilant Stove, but I love the idea of not cutting, chopping, and splitting. They simply roll an entire section of a tree in on a (three-wheeled) dolly and feed it into the fireplace.
· Instant Spray Room: When they needed more space for an additional spray room, they simply dropped a shipping container on the spot, cut a few holes here and there, plugged it in, and they were ready to go. It certainly won't burn down. They have since built right onto it and added two more containers with a roof between, creating another 1500 SF private shop that they rent out.
· In my room, and in a few other residential rooms, they don't have much wall space for art, so they screw works directly to the ceiling with signs pointing to them.
In fact, every nook and cranny within the 15,000 SF facility, residential area, and shop contain little gems that all pay homage to wood working: my bed is made from raw birch branches; art work everywhere made from slabs of wood with interesting grain or elegant curved furniture components simply hung on the wall and bolted to the ceiling for their grace and simplistic beauty; holes in the worn out carpet cover with a thick veneer of slab wood; shelving made from old tables cut in sections and given a new life; handmade door knobs and latches; ALL the furniture except for rare antiques such as the prohibition table with its hidden pop-up liquor cabinet; and vintage pre-World War II carved mirrors.
· Lastly, the homemade hot tub, which is essentially a cast iron claw foot bath tub that is filled with water with a fire lit under it to relax and enjoy the countryside after a hard day's work.
Chippendale stays loose and makes it work simply, efficiently, and beautifully.
It is wonderful to constantly discover new types and styles of woodworking. I applaud Chippendale for their forthright and experimental methods, and true love they show for woodworking.
Hope to see you next year!
Upon my return, I'll share what I learned about the traditional technique of water gilding, which is a historical method used to apply metal leaf, typically gold, that yields a solid metal appearance. When done correctly, the gold shimmers with a liquid luster that is far superior to standard oil sized applications.

Thankyou fieldmarshall. We shall stop back at the temple of Pharasma on our way and pass your advoce to tje Bishop ourselves, if you wish, Sir Whiteplume is there guarding Miss Sabor, so we will retrieve him and leave her in security of the temple. Then on to the Boneyard.
Varrel dips a slight bow, not out of habit, but an honest gesture, since he was finding the Marshall's legal flexibilty for the sake of good to be a wonderful thing. "At least some here listen to thier heart before thier head."
He looks to Una, "I wish I could do the same"
Come, Chatterbeak. Lets go retrieve our ever so untarnished friend and see if he can stay clean in a graveyard!
Chatterbeak laughs at the joke, a rather uncomfortable sound unless one is drunk.
200gp added to Varrels char sheet
The Pseudo-dragon trills a crooning chirp of joy his thoughts broadcast to all, {"Shinys! Shinys for all... ! New shinys for Majenko and Ashe - so he can attract <Term> [not translatable but means 'bright-scaled'] Trina potential mate! Now if only Majenko can show Ashe how to correctly horde his shinys for a proper nest..."}
Majenko flutters his wings slightly from his perch... in excitement and eager antisipation...
Varrel leaves the Marshalls office, Chatterbeakbon his usual perch and heads towards the armory. He checks his Medal bestowed by the field Marshall is correctly displayed upon his armor. Arriving to speak to the quartermaster, It seems trips here will become something of a habit, friend. The good field Marshall has seen fit to give us another task of some great political import and has instructed that we may take what we need from the armory for the job. It involves a trip to the bone yard. Might I ask if you have any Warhammers or Maces of exemplary craft Masterwork Also a composite short or longbow of similarly fine make and adjusted to my pull if you have one.
He then looks to Una, Shaktan and Hytogg, Is there anything you think you particularly need for this mission?
I know this is getting specific but a large garrison would likely have some masterwork gear for ceremony and higher ranking officers. Not sure if this is reaching but I took the Marshalls words literally when she said take.
|Una Therlmagne
|Megan Robertson
The Quartermaster, a half-orc universally known as Fred, has a masterwork mace which he hands over to Varrel, and then enquires as to the weight that the elf pulls before producing a selection of longbows for him to try.
"Target out back, through that door there. Try these three and see which suits you best. There's a bucket of clothyard bodkin-points by the door you can use."
Varrel takes the Mace and Longbow. Testing the pull on his new bow he smiles. He couldn't use is casting with it like he did his scimitar, but it would be wonderful against distant foes.
Slapping his head, Foolish. I forgot about Sir Whiteplume. Most of his weapons are already of fine quality but perhaps you have a Mastercraft reach weapon? A glaive-giserme or even a Lucernine Hammer would be ideal.
Varrel will accept any Masterwork weapon the quartermaster may have on Ashe's behalf, thenwait for Shaktan or Hytogg to eqiup themselves. He is done with the Armory and would see his friend and shop at the acadamae before heading to the boneyard.
[Yeah, most of Ashe's weapons are of superior quality... at least the ones he uses with any regularity. I eventually wanted to get him a Shortsowrd-Alchemical Silver/Masterwork, Warhammer-Cold Iron/Masterwork and a Glaive-Guisarme-Masterwork. But for now you made a VERY astute assessment... a Glaive-Guisarme-Mw would be my choice were Ashe there... for the same reasons to choose to pick that for him.
But being a modest man {or at least he tries to be...} he'd only seek one Masterwork weapon from the Korvosan Armory... so as not to seem greedy. Everyone knows of his noble status and that he should be able to afford such gear himself.
"Bah, nothing much of use in here," Shakhan scours through the items available then turns to the quartermaster, "Do you have a lighter heavy shield somewhere?" He lifts his shield demonstratively, "Is rare to find, but one of these made from mithril. If you can find it, I wouldn't mind paying for it. Same goes for this weapon." He twirls his battle axe.
|Megan Robertson
"A glaive-guisarme... think there's one somewhere. The field marshal two back liked the weapon, had a nice one all shined up and with a tassel in Watch colours that he carried on ceremonial occasions... think it was masterwork..." Still muttering, Fred disappears into a back room. Several crashes and bangs, and a few words that I'm not going to repeat in public later, he emerges, rather dusty and holding a glaive-guisarme.
"Here you go," he says, handing it to Varrel. It feels beautifully-balanced.
Fred turns to Shakhan.
"You would like a mithril heavy shield, would you? Sorry... but I have a light one and some armour pieces that I could have refashioned into one for you. Might take a few weeks, though. Battle-axe, though, you're in luck. I do have one. Over there, on that rack. Third one along... help yourself."
damn. I should have asked for mithral. Ah, well the quartermaster has been great so i won't push it.
Varrel jelously marvels at Shaktans new weapon. Are you sure the featherweight of tje axe won't unbalance you? Perhaps lead won't be better for one so large
"...whoaw." Shakhan is duly impressed, he nods his appreciation as he swings the weapon back and forth. "I take back what I said, Fred. You are alright in my books. If we make it through the next set of hoops that Field Marshall Kressida has us jump, I'll appreciate if you can have a mithril heavy shield fashioned for me."
He examines his new axe again, thrilled. Hearing Varrel comment, he grins that predatory smile that can sometimes be unsettling. "Imagine one of those quick-quick dagger fighters, now imagine doing the same with one of these. Yea! I'm pumped. Let us get to the bottom of this corpse-napping!"
|Una Therlmagne
|Megan Robertson
[Elves of Golarion, has many Alchemical Arrows... that could indeed do what your looking for, but... those are arrows. Ashe might with a good Alchemical Lab be able to make them... if Megan would allow them to be made into bolts instead of arrows. His familiarity with elves and his close friendship with one of the Meirani Elven Ambassador daughters has made him acquainted with such ammunition. Something for later consideration...
But I'm curious are you referring to a specific bolt type? What supplement are these from... I'd like to see them. I might use those for another character of mine.]
|Megan Robertson
|Una Therlmagne
|Megan Robertson
I still get turned around in this city. We need to get Ashe but I would like to stop at the Acadamae as well. Which is the fastest route? I believe the Acadamae is the closer, yes?
Happy to skip over the Acadamae trip and just buy behind the scenes if you want Megan.
Varrel wants to buy:
Magic Missile, Magic Weapon, Mount, Obscuring Mist, Warding Weapon. Total cost 125gp
|Asherick Whiteplume
{Blush!} ~ Is Ashe's first reaction.
But when he calms his emotions his gaze softens and he takes her hands in his and very gently kisses her hands, 'You are safe... milady.'
|Una Therlmagne
|Megan Robertson
Of course you may visit the Acadamae en route... a tall thin wizard with straggly blond hair introduces himself as Erin, and is able to fill your potions order - both Varrel & Una - without difficulty. Looks like they have been busy in the laboratory recently...
Erin mentions that the Academae has been watching the activities of your group - 'Consultants to the Watch' he calls you - with interest, and wishes you good fortune in your next task.
By the time you reach the Cathedral, it has finally stopped raining, but everything is muddy and dank. The first acolyte you speak to denies that there's anyone like Trinia on the premises, but a second one shoves him aside and says that he can fetch 'the big white-haired paladin bloke' for you. He scampers off... [Ashe: he arrives in a spray of muddy water and says that your friends are here]
Meanwhile, the Bishop comes out, and greets you.
"I am about to take afternoon tea... would you care to join me?" she asks.
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe nods to the acolyte, "Thank you sir."
Turning back to Trina he smiles sadly, "I must go now... milady, but be sure I will seek your charming company again... hopefully soon and under less stressful circumstances. 'May IOMEDAE guard and guide you.', sweet lady."
Ashe gazes into the pretty green pools of her eyes... and perhaps the hardest thing he has ever done is to turn away and not kiss her goodby... but self-control wins out and he takes his leave.
Ashe gathers himself and goes to rejoin his comrades.
Ashe bows in greeting and gratitude to Bishop d'Bear...
"Well met my friends... what news from the Marshal?"
Just a note, I bought scrolls not potions.
"Thankyou Bishop, but unfortunately no time for tea. The field marshall sends word however, that she agrees here is likely the best place for Miss Sabor's safety. She did, however, hope it could be kept quiet for now. I suppose your missive has already been sent to the Palace?
Varrel was suprised how easy words were coming to him when Ashe was not around. The boys nobility was surely the sticking point for the slave. Upon seeing the Paladin,
We have been called to task again, Sir Whiteplume, the Marshall would have us retrieve a Shaonti body from the Dead Warrens from a known Fiend who practices Necromancy and is suspected of murder. She did, however grant us leave of the Guard's armory to aid the task.
I hope my selection in your name is suitable
Varrel presents the Masterwork weapon formally to Ashe, begins to bow, but angrily stops himself, Stand up man! You are his bloody equal!
|Una Therlmagne
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe smiles brightly at the gift...
"Why Thank you friend Varrel, how kind of you to think of me! But you need not be so formal with me... 'Sir Whiteplume' indeed... call me Ashe! We are comrades in arms and you have proven with your stalwart heart and dedication to justice to be more noble of spirit... where it really matters anyways... than the most staid of 'supposed' nobleman. We are friends first, you need no honorifics with me... silly things of vanity anyways."
Ashe places a hand upon his shoulder in affection and respect.
Hefting the glaive Ashe feels its balance noting the tassel of the Watch, "A Royal Glaive! Very Nice... Thank you again. I'll donate my current glaive to the chapel of IOMEDAE...perhaps some young knight will have need of it."
Shifting the weapon he removes his glaive in place of Varrel's gift.
Then his tone is serious and measuring, "A necromancer eh... and a Shaonti corpse of a warrior to retrieve? I'm not very familiar with their ways... but me thinks that would gravely insult them and the warrior's spirit. Was he of some status among them?
The boy was the grandson of 'Thousand Bones'.Some sort of Shoanti ambassador here in the city. The Necromancer was not responsible for his death. That falls to local bigots who seized oppourtunity during the current unrest. The wizard, is in current possesion of the body, which we need to recover so his people may afford him burial rites.
Varrel looks to the Bishop.Bishop, I understand the church normally patrols the area. Do you have any information on local dangers or particular vulnerabilities of the monsters that frequent the underground tunnels? ...In any case, we will need to have at it quite soon. So, we might make purchase if you have anything particularly useful against undead.
|Megan Robertson
The Bishop smiles and produces a leather box holding six vials of holy water.
"Take this with my blessing, Una. Does anyone else want some?"
She looks at Varrel.
"Creatures... in the main you will find wererats, otyughs, and goblins; there are also derro in some of the deeper places. Watch out for glowing moss, the derro cultivate it and hold it to be quite a delicacy, if you see it you are likely entering their territory."
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe steps forward and bows to the Bishop, "Uhm.. I do have a request... milady bishop?"
Very deliberately and nonthreatening Ashe draws his ornate longsword and hands it hilt-first to the bishop.
"This is DAUNTLESS HEART... it is a consecrated weapon... would you please charge it with the positive energies of the 'Lady of the Graves' so that I may smite undead bolstered by 'The Lady's' Divine power, please?
[Bishop d'Bear is listed in Guide to Korvosa as a cleric 13th level thats 7d6 channel positive energy [CPE], likely 5/day with a DC 18. The Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide... no longer in print I believe, lists a High Priest in its TEMPLE Npc's of 13th level with a Wisdom of 24 and a Charaisma of 14... with those same Channel abilities. Wisdom does not affect the power of a CPE but charisma and level do. So it will be up to you Megs if the Bishop is better than what I proposed. In my sword it will be only half the dice of the CPE but the same DC... it lasts for 24 hours and can be released in a single attack on an undead creature as a Channeled Smite... once then it must be recharged with another CPE...which Ashe can do...though significantly weaker.]
Varrel nods at the Bishops answer, "Thankyou bishop. We should be fine with the holy water then. Varrel stops, considering a thought.
Actually Bishop, could you also tell me the cost of a Wand of Healing Cure light wounds, my companions and I might see about pooling our resources for one if we can afford it.
Market value is 750 and Varrel can contribute his old Masterwork
Shortbow which is 165gp at 1/2 market price, which covers his 1/5 share. He has some gold he can pony up for if someone needs help. Not sure if the group wants one yet.
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe grimaces at Varrel's proposal and states unhappily, "I... must decline to donate in this instance friend Varrel sadly. I'm trying to save up to have DAUNTLESS HEART permanently enchanted. I need every coin for that. I think that with my Lay On Hands and Master Hytogg's miracles... we should be well covered with divine healing."
His demeanor is very contrite... he did not wish to decline to assist but he sticks to his determination.
[Sorry fella... I don't know how close I am to 5th level but once Ashe hits it his Divine Bond become available. I'm going for the weapon... if I want to actually be able to do anything cool with that class ability... I NEED to have a +1 weapon to begin with. Cash has been REALLY thin in this module so... I'm planning for the near future.]
Varrel is a little taken aback by his friends admission, but nods.
Of course my friend, then let me finally pay you back for the kindness you showed me when we met. I'll cover your share of the wand, if only to keep you and Hytogg from expending your resources when "I" need healing
Varrel makes his statement with a warm smile, probably the first in a long time.
That is, if the rest of you feel the expense is neccessary. Certainly the Great Pit Fighter has a jabit of dropping foes with the first swing, perhaps he doesn't feel the need.
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe blushes, "Ah... I think you for your forbearance friend Varrel... but I don't think you fully understood what I meant by who I was referring to when I said "We". I meant the whole party."
"I'll be clearer... I intend to expend ALL of my healing abilities on 'YOUR' - the parties behalf! I'll only be healing myself if the need is most dire and immediate! I have two potions of cure light wounds... I do not intend to use them for myself... but to be ready and attentive to give them to whoever needs them the most once battle is engaged. I'm sure my goddess will protect me and give me the wisdom to use her gifts for the benefits of others when it is most appropriate. I would never 'horde' my healing abilities solely for myself while others are in need! Your lives and safety are more important to me than my own.
Don't worry, If you purchase the wand... I will be more than willing to use it on your behalf for you or anyone else - as Cure Light Wounds is one of the miracles IOMEDAE allows me to cast. I can use that item without issue... you just need to bring it to either me or Master Hytogg... when you have need of its healing power. And when I have the funds I promise to repay my share of the wand's cost out of fairness."
|Megan Robertson
The Bishop bows her head for a moment, then leads the way into the main worship space of the Cathedral.
"It will be my honour to bless your sword, Sir Asherick," she says. "The High Altar would seem appropriate..."
When you are all - that is, whoever comes along - gathered in the sanctuary, the Bishop raises the sworn aloft.
"Lady of shadows, lady of grace, grant through the authority vouchsafed to me a blessing upon Dauntless Heart that it may, in the hands of your servant Asherick Whiteplume, smite undead abominations in thy name. So may it be, according to thy desires."
The entire cathedral is flooded, momentarily, with a bright light that drives away all shadows.
The Bishop returns your sword, Ashe. It feels... different... as if it were alive.
Varrel nods at the Bishops answer, "Thankyou bishop. We should be fine with the holy water then. Varrel stops, considering a thought.Actually Bishop, could you also tell me the cost of a Wand of Healing Cure light wounds, my companions and I might see about pooling our resources for one if we can afford it.
Market value is 750 and Varrel can contribute his old Masterwork
Shortbow which is 165gp at 1/2 market price, which covers his 1/5 share. He has some gold he can pony up for if someone needs help. Not sure if the group wants one yet.
I haven't figured out how much dough Hytogg has yet, but I know he's got enough to throw in on the wand, as he has not bought anything except a pretty shirt.
Hytogg watches the ceremony a little uncomfortably since this is not his patron god, but with curiosity, as was his natural inclination... and he respects power in any form.
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe bows deeply to the bishop, "...Thank you, milady Bishop. I'm... deeply honored, I will not waste 'The Lady's' gift!"
Ashe sheaths Dauntless Heart at his side... the weapon almost thrumming with the contained holy power.
Turning to his friends, "I'm ready to go when you are. I know where the entrance to the Dead Warrens is... my... father supposedly met his end near there."
|Megan Robertson
So, to the Deadwarrens?
As Ashe can tell you, you need to find an area here in the Grey District that is known as Potter's Ward. This is the final resting ground for Korvosa's poor and homeless.
It is easy to find. Mounds of unmarked dirt stretch far and wide, indicating sites of mass graves, while crumbling mausoleums from years ago, abandoned by their families as the Gray District expanded to the west, dot the bleak landscape, forgotten and empty. Mourners do not visit here, for the dead buried in Potter's Ward leave behind few who regret their passing.
What do you want to do?
|Una Therlmagne
Sorry, Varrel. Una would have been reluctant to give up any money too. She's kind of selfish that way.
Looking over the graveyard, Una regards it with a tactical eye.
"I recommend scouting from the perimeter first. Time is important, but we don't need to trigger any traps or attacks if we can help it."
Perception (10)
10 + 8 = 18
A good idea, I'll assist, where I can
Varrel casts 'detect magic' and seaches around.
Perception/Alertness-Familiar1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Chatterbeak keep your eyes open.
Perception1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Shakhan wouldn't have minded spending the money, he's not particularly gear dependent right now.
"Bah! As if we need that," in spite of Shakhan's irate words, its clear that this veteran is not planning to charge right in - too much experience. It's just that he's itching to wield his new battle axe. Both his weapon and shield are at the ready, he eagerly surveys the graves.
Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe holds back... for moments while his comrades search the area.
Ashe is silent, unmoving as memories assail his mind of those long years ago. When he, as a young boy, would come here day after day bravely {and foolishly} seeking some evidence, some trace of his father. He was so young then and too frightened to enter far into the mausoleums for a true thorough search... he mostly came here and wept out his grief for a father who never would return. As the days turned to months and the months to years... he'd stopped coming... knowing if his father still lived... nothing would have kept him away. His despair had sparked within his young heart a fire to protect others from the same kind of grief he was feeling... he promised himself he would NEVER turn his back on someone in need as long as he lived... just like his father!
Ashe stood in odd silence his frosty blue eyes smouldering with shifting emotions...
Eventually he comes out of his reverie of painful memories and steely resolve takes it place. He sighs and squaring his shoulders Ashe walks with certainty for he knows very well the location of the entrance to the Dead Warrens.
Ashe walks directly to a toppled and headless statue of a sword-wielding gargoyle that lies in the dirt near a very decrepit mausoleum's entrance. He pauses at the entrance and pulls forth a torch setting it into the shield sconce attached to his shield and lights it.
His tone is... strangely cold, "Over here. This is a way in. I'll take point unless someone else wishes to do so."
He lowers his Helm's visor and his posture seems... pensive as if recalling some unpleasant memory.
Drawing Dauntless Heart, he mutters a soft prayer of supplication to his goddess and calling upon his divine gifts scans the torch shadowy entrance - Detect Evil.
Provided the search turns up nothingActually, Ashe if you don't mind, I'd rather take point. I can see further in the torchlight than you can and move quieter as well. If you like
I can cast and keep a magical light on you, while I move foreward. It also means I won't catch you in a spell should I encounter something.
Varrel's plan is to move just a little foreward of the group, so that he is on the edge of his friends human vision and letting his elf eyes work in the doubled (for him) low light. He'll be moving quietly and staying alert ( take 10 on Stealth and Perception for 14 and 18 respectively). Chatterbeak is to stay on his shoulder throughout and will keep silent. But staying alert for danger as well (aid another, perception take 10 so Varrels perception is 20.) In areas of full light he'll stay within his allies charge range
|Asherick Whiteplume
Ashe pauses...
His expression and perhaps the emotions playing across his mind are not determinable with his face concealed behind the Griffin Crested Full helm.
But shortly Ashe nods in agreement, "That seems wise... please be careful. We'll be right behind you ready to support you."
Turning, "Majenko could you please perch upon my shoulder and keep everyone in contact via your telepathy."
The Amethyst scaled little dragon hisses happily and lands in a flurry of wings and thrashing tail upon the armored right shoulder of Ashe's full plate armor.
His thoughts directed at all {I will... I will repeat mind speech for all!}
Varrel casts Light on Ashe's armor, waiting for Una, IF she wishes to scout forward with him, and moves to the front. He waits for the rest of the group to assume their marching order and check any gear before moving off.

Yesterday, my great-great-great grand-niece burst into my bed-chamber with her two young brats in tow. "Uncle Zweibel," asked Ludmilla, "can you watch the kids while I go shopping?" The very idea was the height of absurdity, but Ludmilla noted that it was the nanny's day off, and that I had ordered the rest of the servants to witness the flogging of the chauffeur. Consequently, there was no-one to watch the children. "Why not that damned ro-bot nurse of mine?" I said. But Mr. Tin, who happened to be in the room, said that it was not programmed to attend to tots.
So this was what the Republic's greatest living newspaper-man had come to: playing a wet-nurse. As soon as Ludmilla left, the whelps raised an intolerable racket, leaving their snot-covered handprints on my iron-lung, flinging my enema-bottles against the wall, and banging the bed-pans together over and over. Rotten little sucklings!
Then one of the wretches pulled out a small, black box from a satchel Ludmilla had left behind, and whined, "I wanna watch my tape, Uncle Zweibel! Please?" The other little simp then pressed a wall-switch, and out emerged a large, metal box with a glass surface. I was shocked—I had never seen such a device before, and couldn't understand how it got in my bed-chamber! The first child pushed the small box into the larger one, and there appeared a moving-image of a huge, yellow, long-legged talking creature which looked somewhat like a flightless canary. The pair sat down before the glass screen and began to gaze intently.
I was utterly horrified: The enormous feathered beast looked as though he could emerge at any moment from the box, pounce on my bed and maul me to death. I begged the children to help me escape from this bird's sight, lest it try to feed me to its nestlings!
Fortunately, Ludmilla returned, and was able to subdue the bird and return the metal-box to its place behind the wall. She looked around the disheveled room and shouted, "That's the last time I trust the children to you, you senile old coot!" That would have been fine with me, but I was still so choked with fright at the terrifying yellow ostrich-monster I could not even respond.

Universal Corp. (NYSE:UVV) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2011-03-31.
Universal Corp. has a market cap of $999.1 million; its shares were traded at around $43.29 with a P/E ratio of 7.9 and P/S ratio of 0.4. The dividend yield of Universal Corp. stocks is 4.5%. Universal Corp. had an annual average earning growth of 18.4% over the past 10 years.
Highlight of Business Operations:Our business involves buying, processing, packing, storing, shipping, and financing leaf tobacco for sale to, or for the account of, manufacturers of consumer tobacco products throughout the world. Buying leaf tobacco involves contracting with and financing farmers in many origins. We do not manufacture cigarettes or other consumer tobacco products. Through various operating subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates located in tobacco-growing countries around the world, we process and sell flue-cured and burley tobaccos, as well as dark air-cured and oriental tobaccos. We also provide value-added services to our customers, including blending, chemical and physical testing of tobacco, managing just-in-time inventory, and manufacturing reconstituted sheet tobacco. Flue-cured, burley, and oriental tobaccos are used principally in the manufacture of cigarettes, and dark air-cured tobaccos are used mainly in the manufacture of cigars, pipe tobacco, and smokeless tobacco products. We generate our revenues from product sales, processing fees, and fees for other services. Over 75% of our volume is derived from sales to customers with major market positions and with whom we have long-standing relationships. Our sales consist primarily of flue-cured and burley tobaccos. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our flue-cured and burley operations accounted for 89% of our revenues and 89% of our segment operating income.
We are a major purchaser and processor in the chief exporting regions for flue-cured and burley tobacco throughout the world. We estimate that we have historically purchased between 20% and 30% of the annual production of such tobaccos in Brazil and between 35% and 45% in Africa. These percentages can change from year to year based on the size, price, and quality of the crops, and recent customer vertical integration moves could also affect them. In the United States, we sell processed U.S. tobacco to cigarette manufacturers, and we process U.S. flue-cured and burley tobacco on a fee basis. We have a major processing facility in the United States, which handled about 45% of U.S. flue-cured and burley tobacco production in fiscal year 2011. We expect our relative volumes handled in the United States to be lower in the coming fiscal year. These changes are described elsewhere in Item 7 under "Other Information Regarding Trends and Management Actions." We participate in the procurement, processing, and sale of oriental tobacco through ownership of a 49% equity interest in what we believe to be the largest oriental leaf tobacco merchant in the world, Socotab, L.L.C. In addition, we maintain a presence, and in certain cases, a leading presence, in virtually all other major tobacco growing regions in the world. We believe that our leading position in the leaf tobacco industry is based on our operating presence in all of the major sourcing areas, our ability to meet customer style, volume, and quality requirements, our expertise in dealing with large numbers of farmers, our long-standing relationships with customers, our development of processing equipment and technologies, and our financial position.
Our North America and Other Regions reportable segments, which represent our flue-cured and burley tobacco operations, accounted for 13% and 76% of our revenues and 23% and 66% of our segment operating income, respectively, in fiscal year 2011. Our Other Tobacco Operations reportable segment accounted for 11% of our revenues and 11% of our segment operating income in fiscal year 2011. Sales and other operating revenues and operating income attributable to our reportable segments for each of the last three fiscal years, along with segment assets for each reportable segment at March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, are set forth in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, which are included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. Information with respect to the geographic distribution of our revenues and long-lived assets is also set forth in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

X-rays Help Predict Permanent Bone Damage From Bisphosphonates, Study in
General Dentistry
ScienceDaily (May 12, 2009) — Breast cancer patients, individuals at risk for osteoporosis and those undergoing certain types of bone cancer therapies often take drugs containing bisphosphonates. These drugs have been found to place people at risk for developing osteonecrosis of the jaws (a rotting of the jaw bones). Dentists, as well as oncologists, are now using X-rays to detect "ghost sockets" in patients that take these drugs and when these sockets are found, it signals that the jawbone is not healing the right way.

Blog posts have been sparse recently, mostly just because I've been working hard. I've been working on a lot of things, especially work: I was in lab until midnight last night. I've redesigned my motion phantom setup so that it can run with the scan room door closed. This has major advantages in the department of not getting huge RF contamination artifacts every time a Green Line trolley pulls away from a stop.
Making this work has presented a fun engineering puzzle. The driving motor has to be outside the scan room, and the rope it's pulling on can only enter through a "waveguide", a one-foot copper pipe that's pointed in entirely the wrong direction and already half-filled with electrical cables. I ended up using four K'NEX pulleys and a length of PVC pipe from The Home Depot. None of the pulleys are actually attached to anything, a fact of which I am unreasonably proud. They are all held in place by the tension in the rope. One of them is actually suspended in midair during normal operation.
This is not how I expected to earn my Ph.D.

|Sick route. Such a cool feature. The lieback is super positive but the clips are slightly awkward unless you clip at your waist. I would recommend a #3 though. If you blow your first lieback clip without a #3 placement, or even fall on your way to it, you're gonna hit the low angle slab below.

What's unique about this major at UW-Green Bay?
Educational Excellence. Since the approach to the Geoscience program is interdisciplinary, students therefore often outperform other students from larger institutions, because they are highly trained and have a broader perspective education.
Preparation. Geoscience students get a good solid preparation in the basics of science, which make them excellent candidates for graduate schools.
Challenge. As part of the program assessment in geoscience, students will be required to produce a portfolio in their junior and senior years. The portfolio will include student projects and papers, evidence of attendance at conferences or field trips, awards, and any other records of significant activity. Students are encouraged to maintain a copy of their own as a personal record of their undergraduate accomplishments.

SAN FERNANDO — A former bank teller was charged today with four felony counts for allegedly stealing nearly $25,000 from bank customers.
Samuel Jose Godinez, 25, is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 25 in a San Fernando courtroom on two counts of grand theft of personal property and one count each of theft from an elder and non-sufficient fund check.
Godinez, who worked as a teller at a Wells Fargo branch in the Santa Clarita area, is accused of stealing from two bank customers between January and April, including more than $16,000 from an 81-year-old woman.
Godinez, is accused of using the customers' bank information to steal the money. The bank fired the Valencia man after conducting an internal investigation, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Godinez faces up to six years behind bars if convicted as charged, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Comrade Krasin:
Concerning Larin, to the Politbureau decision of 17.I.[2] I add:
1. Keep him in London as long as possible.
2. If you take any of his figures on trust, we shall sack you.
3. Take care of his health, provide better treatment, appoint a responsible doctor.
4. Give him a long literary job with German and English sources (if he does not know English, teach him).
Carry out points 1, 3 and 4 with especial strictness and especial tact. Point 2—three times as strictly.
With communist greetings,
P.S. The Vneshtorg apparatus is downright bad. Lezhava is weak. There is need for a better man. The grain is needed desperately and urgently. Put into this everything you have. It is your responsibility.[1]

TARPON SPRINGS — Over the weekend, the Clearwater volleyball team traveled to Gainesville where it participated in the Gator Classic, a major tournament featuring some of the state's best volleyball squads.
Despite going 2-3 and finishing 11th out of 16 teams, Clearwater benefitted from playing some of its toughest competition to date.
The tournament also helped the Tornadoes, who are starting a number of new players this season, develop a more cohesive lineup.
Back in Pinellas, Clearwater's improved play showed Tuesday against East Lake in a 25-23, 25-21, 26-24 defeat of the Eagles.
"We definitely learned from that tournament," said Clearwater senior middle hitter J'Beria Davis, who finished with 12 kills. "We definitely play as a team more, communicate, everything. We just came together when it mattered, and this game mattered."
East Lake had no answer for Davis and freshman Nikki O'Rourke, who finished with a match-high 14 kills and added six digs. The Tornadoes (6-3) used quick sets, which Davis and O'Rourke were able to power home.
East Lake appeared sluggish at the outset and fell behind 21-16 in Game 1. The Eagles (3-3) pulled to within 24-23 but lost the game on a net violation.
In Game 2, East Lake jumped out to a 6-0 lead before Clearwater rebounded to tie at 13-all. The Tornadoes never trailed the rest of the game.
At 24-all in Game 3, Davis slammed home a kill to earn match point and blocked an East Lake kill attempt to secure the victory.
"I think this is the most consistent we've played this year," Clearwater coach Tracy Sedely said. "It really shows that we're coming together a little better."

Jerusalem • Israel and the Hamas militant group edged closer to a cease-fire Tuesday to end a weeklong Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, but after a day of furious diplomatic efforts involving the U.S. secretary of state, U.N. chief and Egypt's president, a deal remained elusive and fighting raged on both sides of the border.
Israeli tanks and gunboats pummeled targets in Gaza in what appeared to be a last-minute burst of fire, while at least 200 rockets were fired into Israel. As talks dragged on near midnight, Israeli and Hamas officials, communicating through Egyptian mediators, expressed hope that a deal would soon be reached, but cautioned that it was far from certain.
"If there is a possibility of achieving a long-term solution to this problem by diplomatic means, we prefer that. But if not, then I am sure you will understand that Israel will have to take whatever actions are necessary to defend its people," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a late-night meeting with visiting Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

That's a sad deal. One can imagine with some of the stories you hear about buck fever how a 21 year old could make such a mistake. I hunt a lot in that general area, but never get a bear tag. And even with no interest in killing one I do have an interest in them not killing me. I had a black bear come straight at me to within twenty yards last year quickly and was nervous for a few seconds identifying the bear. Had my tree picked out. I stepped out, went pfssst, and the bear looked up and tore the woods up getting away. I can see how it could happen to me, much less a kid who had had likely never seen a bear in that situation. It's a shame.

Lisa Leslie, Olympian and former WNBA star of the L.A. Sparks, partnered with Allegra to develop the Allegra Outdoor Challenge. This program encourages families to stay active outdoors despite dealing with seasonal allergies.
Lisa opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her two children, Lauren, 5, and MJ, 3, and how she got involved with the Allegra Outdoor Challenge. She goes on to discuss the greatest lessons she learned from basketball and how she plans to celebrate Mother's Day.
CBS: Tell us about the new program you developed with Allegra to help families get outdoors and get in shape despite dealing with allergies.
LL: "As a mom, I love having the opportunity to encourage other moms to get outdoors and not let their allergies slow them down. Together, Allegra and I created the Allegra Outdoor Challenge series of fun and creative outdoor workout tips to show families how with a little creativity and allergy relief from Allegra, their seasonal allergies don't have to stop them from getting outdoors and having fun. My five-year-old daughter Lauren and I both have seasonal allergies, and I take Allegra-D and Lauren takes Children's Allegra. Lauren complains of itchy, watery eyes when her allergies flare up, and Allegra really works for her!
At Facebook.com/AllegraOTC, you can find my tips and photos showcasing how your family can take the Allegra Outdoor Challenge. From yard yoga to a make-your-own basketball court at home, these are fun ways I motivate my own family to get outdoors and stay active. I hope to inspire other families to do the same!"
CBS: Please tell our readers all about your backyard workouts
LL: "The backyard workout is truly designed for the working mom who can't find the time to get to the gym but has just enough time to go in the backyard for family time. Instead of sitting and watching the kids play, I encourage the moms to get up and get moving with the kids, whether that be by using a towel to stretch, doing yoga poses, or playing something as simple as hopscotch. I try to incorporate movement that I would also do at the gym, such as dips, squats, and push-ups."
CBS: What are your two kids, Lauren and MJ, into? Do they play basketball like mom?
LL: "My kids play tennis, gymnastics, and soccer, and they also swim twice a week. We work on dribbling with MJ in hopes of him playing like mommy."
CBS: Tell us about some of the greatest lessons you learned from basketball that you use off the court in your everyday life. Have these skills helped you as a mother? Wife? Friend?
LL: "I have learned to hustle after my goals in life as a mom, wife, and business woman. I have also learned that you get out of life what you put into it, just like my game on the court. I work hard and I play hard. I only know how to be successful and being a role model has always been the driving force behind my decision-making as a mom. I lead by example."
CBS: What do you find more challenging — basketball or motherhood? Please elaborate/explain.
LL: "Motherhood is much more challenging than basketball. It is the most precious blessing any woman could ask for, yet, it's the most difficult, time-consuming, and never-ending job. I love every minute of it and I would not want to know life without my bundles of joy!"
CBS: Mother's Day is around the corner. What does Mother's Day mean to you? How do you like to celebrate?
LL: "Since having kids, I don't really care about any holidays anymore. I see life from such a different perspective. I am thankful for my life, my wonderful husband, and my beautiful children every day. I always pray a prayer of protection around them and, to me, every day we go to bed is truly Mother's Day! I am so thankful for our health and opportunity to be together."
CBS: You've got your foot in so many different arenas — basketball, modeling, acting. What is your favorite and what are you hoping to expand on in the future?
LL: "I am enjoying the Lisa Leslie Basketball & Leadership Academy, because I get to work with our youth every week. I also enjoy being a co-owner of the Los Angeles Sparks. We are looking forward to a great season with our star players Candace Parker and Nneka Ogwumike, just to name a few."
CBS: You're also involved in some local fitness projects with kids. Can you tell us more? What's up next for you?
LL: "I love my work with the American Federation for Children (AFC), which brings awareness to school choice around the nation."

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2010/03/09 - ReportBuyer.com, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report.
The report Greening Print Marketing: A Practical Guide answers the question, How green is print? It looks at the impact of paper, including the importance and difference in types of recycled content.
The report analyses digital printing and how the technology fits into a green print marketing strategy. It studies the applications driven by digital printing (although some can be driven by offset, as well) and how they make a real, measurable difference both in greening and cutting costs.
These days, its all about going green. For some people, its a personal and philosophical commitment. For others, its an important brand image. The question is the best way to go about it. This report looks at some of the most practical, implementable ways as they relate to print marketing. Many of these strategies will increase the effectiveness of print marketing and profitability.
Gaining those benefits means looking beyond recycled paper and environmental certifications and considering a wide variety of factors along the entire product lifecycle, including design, print process, energy use, and even use of targeting and personalisation to reduce print volumes.
The 56 page report looks at the green consumer and how going green can capture the loyalty of some very important customer groups. There are also softer issues analysed in the report, such as chain of custody (CoC), including the legal sourcing of materials and the impact on indigenous peoples.
The new report addresses environmental certifications, what they mean, and the most practical way to use them. It draws conclusions and list the best practices for greening your print marketing, regardless of print process (digital or offset).
The report Greening Print Marketing: A Practical Guide is available from ReportBuyer.com/.

Shots Fired in Watertown, Massachusetts
Fri, 19 Apr 2013 23:04:52 GMT —
About half an hour after police in Watertown, Massachusetts lifted the "stay indoors" order for residents, shots were reportedly fired in Watertown.
Military and police, as well as EMS personnel are on the scene. There is no word yet if the shooting involved Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the suspect who is still being hunted for in the Watertown area.
We will update as more information becomes available.
In spite of the search for Dzhokhar, Governor Deval Patrick says mass transit service will return to normal.
The service that serves hundreds of thousands in the city, was suspended, as the city and some surrounding suburbs were on lockdown.
More than 1 million people were told to stay indoors as investigators scoured neighborhoods in search of Dzhokhar, who they believe may still be armed and dangerous.
Dzhorkhar's brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died overnight Thursday, after a desperate getaway attempt.
He was shot in a gunfire exchange between police and the Tsarnaev brothers, who are suspected in the Boston Marathon Bombing.
They stole a vehicle, and led police on a chase through Cambridge.
This, after police say they shot Sean Collier, 26, a police officer at MIT.
Tamerlan was shot when he got out of the stolen SUV.
Police say he was wearing explosives at the time. The brothers were throwing explosives at police. After Tamerlan was shot, Dzhokhar ran him over with the stolen SUV before driving away from the scene.
Tamerlan succumbed to his critical injuries at the hospital.
Around 4 a.m., explosives were heard in Watertown, prompting police and FBI to converge there.
Investigators scoured neighborhoods in search of Dzhokhar, who they believe ultimately got away on foot.
He is the man seen wearing the white hat in surveillance photos released by the FBI Thursday.
If you think you have seen this man, contact authorities immediately.
Dzhohkar is a second year medical student at the the University of Massachusetts. Peers saw they saw him on campus this week, after the bombings, and say he seemed calm.

Rascal Flatts Explain 'Why' They Cut Tough Song About Suicide
Rascal Flatts not only begin their Nothing Like This tour on June 25 in Raleigh, N.C., but they're taking the 'B1′ campaign with them.
That's the nationwide project by The Jason Foundation to help kids recognize friends who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide or are otherwise in need of help. Rascal Flatts — Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney — have signed on as project ambassadors and will appear in public service announcements and social networking campaigns in support of the effort.
"Having been personally affected by suicide, it's important for me to do all that we can to create more awareness and prevention, particularly with teenagers," says Jay. "We are proud to be partners with the Jason Foundation and we are looking forward to doing our part in trying to help them save even more lives."
In the past, Rascal Flatts has introduced fans to various charities they support, including the Make-a-Wish Foundation and American Red Cross. The trio reveals that suicide has impacted each of them so deeply that they recorded the song 'Why' in response.
"That song, in particular, was a really tough one to cut because all of our lives have been affected by suicide," Jay tells CMT. "Gary and I had an uncle in 2001 that took his own life. We were very, very close to him, and we were affected by that greatly. Joe Don, as well, had a friend in high school that took his own life. We felt like it was something that we could sing about, dealing with a very difficult matter that a lot of lives are affected by. It could give you a little bit of hope and a little way to deal with a tragic situation."
During the same interview, Joe Don says the song's lyrics, particularly, 'In my mind, I keep you frozen like a 17-year old' — take direct aim at teenage turmoil. "It's eerie to me and it's haunting. At the same time, it's a poignant message for the youth out there, for the teenagers out there, struggling and contemplating that decision, which they shouldn't make. That's why this song's got a lot of angst in it because it wants to let that [message] out of the bag — that's not the answer. You don't have to do that. There's so much more in your life to live for. There are so many more people in your life that are going to be affected by a decision like that. That's why I do love that song."
For more information about 'B1′ and the Jason Foundation, check the organization's website.

Just a little bit more west you can see a killer hand and finger crack. This crack goes up almost to the top and you could end on the block/boulder that is at the top.

TEAL will be the hot new nail polish colour of the season with ladies across the western suburbs encouraged to get their nails 'coloured for a cause'.
Teal is the international colour of ovarian cancer and Australians are being invited to paint their nails in the colour to help raise awareness of ovarian cancer this month.
Chemmart Pharmacy and Ovarian Cancer Australia have joined forces for Ovarian Cancer Awareness month (February), with special limited edition teal nail polish packs being sold in selected stores.
"We are encouraging people to have their nails painted and purchase the Colour for a Cause for $6.99 with the full proceeds going to Ovarian Cancer Australia," said Altona North Chemmart Owner Denise Drew.
"It's a condition in which most people are unaware of the symptoms, so we are trying to promote the awareness of that," Ms Drew said.
Ms Drew and her staff have all painted their nails for the cause and are also offering in-store manicures in return for a gold coin donation.
Proceeds from the 'Colour for a Cause' polish packs and manicures will go to OCA to raise awareness of the symptoms, risks and impact of ovarian cancer and assist in the delivery of its awareness, support, advocacy and research programs.
The team at Altona North will also continue their fundraising by hosting an 'Afternoon Teal' where they will bake cupcakes to sell for a donation on Wednesday February 26, which is also Teal Ribbon Day.
"We hope to see Australians come out in force during February wearing their teal nail polish to show their support for women suffering from ovarian cancer and raise much needed funds for OCA," said Chemmart Pharmacy Executive Director Johnathon Layton.
Daring men are also encouraged to add a splash of colour in support of the cause.
The Colour for a Cause nail polish packs are now available until stocks last at the Altona North, Melton, Watergardens and Keilor Village stores.

Pirelli Previews Pocono Formula USA Event

(This original, copyrighted material may not be copied, cut and pasted, published or otherwise reproduced in any way in any medium, which means, don't post this on another website or BBS. If you want somebody else to see this, send, share or tweet a link or post a link to this page.)
From a press release:

PIRELLI ENTERS FORMULA-USA POCONO ROUND LEADING FOUR OF FIVE PRO ROAD RACING CLASSES

Includes All Four Top Spots In Sportbike Class

(Rome, GA) Pirelli Race Manager Rich Munson was quoted in March at Daytona as saying he believed Pirelli had "most of the 2002 Formula USA grid." But having most of the racers on your tires doesn't mean much until the checkered flag flies.

Well, it's flown in five of F-USA's eight rounds. And Pirelli racers come into next weekend's sixth round at Pocono International Raceway in Longpond, PA leading the championship points in four of the five pro classes. This includes holding all four top spots in Pro Honda Oils 600 Supersport, with Craig Connell (Arclight Suzuki), Michael Barnes (Team Hooters Mountain Dew), Lee Acree (Arclight), and Larry Pegram (Team Hooters Mountain Dew); and two of the three top positions in the one pro class they don't lead.

Besides the top four spots in 600 Supersport, Pirelli guys hold first, second, fifth, and sixth in Lockhart Phillips Unlimited Superbike with Connell, Barnes, Pegram, and Mike Himmelsbach (Blackman's Racing) respectively; first, third, and fifth in the Buell Lightning series with Clint Brotz (Hal's Harley-Davidson), Barnes (Kosco H-D/Buell), and Jeff Johnson (Hoban Bros. Racing); Johnson's first-place position in Thunderbike; and the second and third championship places in the Grand Prix class, with Geoff May (Team Embry/Roadracingworld.com) and Himmelsbach.

Pirelli tires even lead the championship points in at least two amateur classes: Team Promotion's Leonard Santangelo atop Amateur Open Supersport, and Tom Bibeau of TSE/New England Performance Racing leading Amateur 600 Supersport. There may be more, but the last check of the F-USA amateur classes showed some riders and teams not listing sponsors.

It needs to be mentioned that the vast majority, if not all, of the racers above are riding on Pirelli's D.O.T. Supercorsa radials.

For more information on Pirelli road race, street, MX and off-road tires, and a free 56-page 2002 Pirelli catalog, contact Pirelli at its new North American address: PIRELLI MOTORCYCLE TIRE DIVISION, P.O. Box 700, Rome, GA, 30162-7000. Phone: (706) 368-5826; Fax: (706) 368-5832.

Cheaters' Solitaire
Here is a great game called Cheaters' Solitaire. This is a beautifully rendered version of solitaire with a twist. You can turn the rules off and move cards wherever you wish and you can even peek at face down cards.
Flick the cards around with an intuitive and simple finger motion. After realizing the power of such a simple move you'll never want to go back to playing with a mouse again.
Need a refresher on playing solitaire, click on the tornado and watch the game play itself.
Interrupted by a phone call or just want to take a break, no problem. The game always saves its state so you can come back to where you left off anytime.
And just for fun we added some crazy animations as a diversion. Tap the lightning bolt for a random animation: starfield, gunner, swarm, mess and more!Watch a sample game while listening to Fireflies:
Here's the start of the game
and during the normal process of the game
And here's some of the things you can do with the rules turned off.
