Deadlight review shows highs and lows
The upcoming side-scrolling survival horror title known as Deadlight is a cinematic platformer game expected to come out tomorrow for Xbox Live Arcade, in which lead character, Randall Wayne finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world with a small group of survivors hoping to find his daughter and wife. In a world littered with corpses, both still and active, Randall has made his way through his home of Canada to arrive in the Seattle looking for a safe place for the survivors and himself.
To get some insight of what to expect we are going to run through a couple of reviews to see impression this game has got and CVG regard this as a beautiful looking platformer that contains many frustrations although it is viewed to be a grounded adventure where precision is required. Apparently, this title has many inconsistencies, as a situation where Randall could not jump that far appeared to acquire the accuracy needed after several attempts using the same technique.
Pushing crates off some ledges and not others and being able to do some things sometimes amounts to more inconsistency, and although many set-pieces are solid they are taken back by a lack of polish. Classing this as big-budget fiction on a 2D plane, Deadlight is viewed as not smart or precise enough to be a puzzle-platformer, yet the cinematics are great. In a review by Kotaku, they also echo the sentiment of this being a frustrating game, and also see the graphics as appealing. They point out that there seems to be an issue with both story and gameplay pacing throughout the game, and the story itself is regarded as a nonsensical mess.
With unimaginative puzzles, questionable controls Deadlight is not one of those better zombie apocalypse titles, and although the first half an hour was pretty well-paced the normally rewarding feeling that you get from shooting zombies in the head is lacking, and the final third is an unsatisfying mess that does not seem to be complete. Generally, this does not have what it takes to challenge other zombie titles, as it feels rushed and unpolished. By all accounts, this game has not left a very good impression overall, do you think Deadlight contains more lows than highs?

We Know You're Busy: 5 Easy Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
Viewing on Levo:
Only you can see this list
In elementary school, I would spend all of October planning the perfect Halloween costume so that on October 31, I was ready for the school Halloween parade and a few hours of trick-or-treating with friends.
Fast-forward 15 years: I was swamped at work when I recently received a message from a friend asking me to accompany him to a Halloween party. My train of thought was as follows: "Fantastic! This is going to be so much fun! Actually… Wait… What am I going to dress up as?! I really don't have time to go out and buy a costume!'
What's a girl to do? I raced to my closet and quickly threw together a few costume ideas. And because I know I'm not the only one with a hectic schedule and last-minute Halloween plans, so I'm sharing them all here with you.
Easy, Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
Throwback: Morton Salt Girl
Put on a bright yellow dress, white knee-highs and flats. Accessorize with an umbrella and a canister of Morton Salt!
Funny: A Nerd
Tuck an oxford shirt into a pair of patterned pants or boyfriend jeans (suspenders are highly recommended). Wrap some tape around the bridge of your glasses (pick up a cheap pair of frames at a drugstore if you're blessed with good eyesight), throw your hair back into a braid and you're done!
Mod: The Style Icon (inspired by Edie Sedgwick and Twiggy)
Keep this look simple with a black shift dress and kitten heels. Part your hair on the side and pull it back into a faux pixie cut. Use neutral-colored makeup, a thick swipe of liquid-liner on your upper lash line, fake lashes and multiple coats of mascara. Put on some large, jeweled earrings and walk out the door!
Trendy: Katniss Everdeen
Put your skinny cargo pants to good use! Add a black tee, short black jacket and some black boots. Keep your makeup minimal and pull your hair into a messy braid. Trace the mockingjay symbol onto a piece of paper, cut it out and pin it to your jacket. Sling a black backpack over your shoulder to finish the look.
Classic: A Black Cat
All that's required is a black top, black cropped pants and cute black shoes. Cut out cat ears on paper and tape them to a black headband. Grab a black eyeliner to draw a few whiskers on your face and you're ready to go! If you have a few extra minutes to spare, use the same black eyeliner on your eyes for a cat-eye look.
Do you have a great last-minute costume idea? Share it with us in the comments section!

We Can Do More To Help [VIDEO] [PICS]
I know that these days it seems that everybody is asking for donations for this cause or that charity or someone's foundation. Most of it is for a good cause, and it's never a bad idea to give to charity. But as I look around at the myriad of people and places asking for help, I can't help but stop and think of the people who, I believe, need it most right now.

To be honest, I haven't blogged because I've been afraid someone would remember that I STILL haven't posted those pictures of what I received for my birthday from my Etsy friends...but oh well. I promise I will eventually get around to it, even if it's a full six months before it happens. Today I am blogging to de-stress, because in less than a week (five days to be exact) my sister will be getting married!
I know I know...It's supposed to stress her out, but she's not much of a planning person, so up until about a week ago, she left most of the planning to my mom, our friend, and me! Saturday I bought some Mary Kay for the wedding, and I ended up spending way too much. I'm so low maintenance that it should be illegal! I didn't even realize makeup could be so expensive! I'm scared to death of wearing the foundation, and I'm afraid everyone will look at me strangely once I put on the eyeshadow...and yet I bought it anyway. Can anyone give me so tips for makeup application?

Burnett hails managing director and talks about his target from the board
PUBLISHED: 14:00 27 November 2014
Dave Simpson/TGSPHOTO c/o 27 Plaiters Way, Braintree, Essex CM7 3LR. FA Premier League and Football League images can only be us
Daggers manager thanked Steve Thompson MBE for his support
Dagenham & Redbridge boss Wayne Burnett has praised the work of managing director Steve Thompson MBE and insisted without him, the club wouldn't be in such a good position.
A poor run of results has placed Daggers 21st in the League Two table and close to the relegation places.
But the Victoria Road manager has only received support from his managing director and the club, and speaking after the victory against Carlisle United last weekend, he thanked Thompson.
He also pointed out that continuity works in football and revealed how much he loves working at Daggers.
"Our managing Director Steve Thompson is absolutely brilliant and he has been so supportive of me," said Burnett.
"He has done everything in his power to give me the very best opportunity and I can't thank him enough.
"This club is incredibly fortunate to have someone like him and he has been really supportive.
"We have some fantastic people at this club. We have real people who have a real passion for this club.
"The board have been supportive over the years and I think you look at the people that got new managers in the Premier League last year and I think predominantly most went down, so I think continuity works.
"And I love it here and I love what we have created, not just me but everyone.
"Steve, Darren Currie, Warren Hackett, the physios, the medical team and that is just the technical side and then you have got the people that work around the club tirelessly."
Burnett went on to discuss how fortunate Daggers are to have a managing director like Thompson MBE.
He also discussed what his remit was for this season when he spoke with the board during the summer.
"Steve works unbelievably hard at this club and if he wasn't here this club would be in a very different position," insisted Burnett.
"People don't realise how hard and how well that man works for this club but not just him
"You have the likes of Chris Pollard behind the bar and other people that work tirelessly and so do my staff and so do my players and righty so.
"We are in an excellent and fantastic position that people would love to be in so we are under no illusions about how fortunate we are."
Burnett added: "I had a board meeting in July with all the board members and I asked them as a group what their expectations were and everyone said we need to remain in the football league.
"My remit was to stay in the football league. At the moment I am doing that and since I have been here have we ever been in the bottom two? No and we have played some ok football at times.
"The board said stay in the league, but do they want to just stay in the league? Of course they don't.
"They want to be as high as we possibly can and they want a cup run.
"Do you not think we want a cup run, the players? We are all in this together.
"I am a little bit frustrated, like the fans are, and I can understand their anger and frustration.
"But we are working hard to try and be successful because we all want to be successful.
"We want this club to be successful and we want everyone to be a part of what we do and what we are trying to do."

The Merrill Mini Pipe Invitational
Bode Merrill's a big dude, but it's in the 11-foot High Cascade mini pipe where he feels most at home. So he decided to throw a back-to-the-roots event in it: The inaugural Merrill Mini Pipe Invitational, which went down on Monday. The "contest" drew some of snowboarding's most unlikely pipe jocks, including the likes of Chris Grenier, Gigi Rüf and Scotty Stevens. And while these might not be the dudes you see shredding Superpipes at the X Games or U.S. Open, they are still pretty fun to watch. See for yourself in this highlight video.

A Plea For Introducing Conspiratorial Reasoning In Economics
Along with the economic globalization, economics must decode a more complex reality, to which classical answers are no longer helpful. Due to excessive abstraction and mathematical representation, the economic and social phenomena are partially analyzed and understood - after the delimitation from the political context that has driven and maintained them. We notice that, throughout history, global economic relations have always been altered by the achievement instinct or by the desire for power; that markets and natural order had been violated due to the interventionist factor which takes various forms: the state, the elites or groups animated by particular interests. That is why conspiracy theories can be starting points in analyzing our world, by underlying specific political and economic interests that govern the public decision system. This paper aims to plead for introducing conspiratorial reasoning in economics; a reasoning that rejects total hazard and the limits imposed by the study of unintended consequences of economic phenomena.

|Zogenix Statement: Massachusetts Denies Patients a Legitimate Option for Severe Chronic Pain
We believe Governor Patrick's ban on Zohydro™ ER only serves to unfairly restrict patient access to the only hydrocodone pain reliever available for long-term, daily, severe chronic pain patients who are obtaining relief with short-acting hydrocodone combination products, but who are at risk for potentially fatal liver toxicity due to their daily intake of acetaminophen. Ultimately, the ban on the prescription medication will add to patient suffering in the state.
Contrary to some recent media reports, most other opioid medications on the market today are both equal to or more potent than Zohydro ER (e.g., oxycodone, fentanyl, hydromorphone and oxymorphone), and all are available in higher strengths per unit-of-use than Zohydro ER. Claims that Zohydro ER is "more powerful" or "more addictive" than other commonly prescribed opioids are not supported by scientific data.
Over the last 12 months, more than 360,000 prescriptions for extended-release opioids were dispensed in
The simple fact is that any medication, including opioid pain relievers, presents a danger to the person misusing or abusing it. That's why
We are disappointed that today legitimate severe chronic pain patients in
We look forward to engaging with the governor and his representatives to review the safe use measures already in place.
About Zohydro ER
Zohydro™ ER is an opioid agonist, extended-release, oral formulation of hydrocodone bitartrate indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.
Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses, and because of the greater risks of overdose and death with extended-release opioid formulations, reserve Zohydro ER for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options (e.g., non-opioid analgesics or immediate-release opioids) are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain.
Zohydro ER is not indicated for use as an as‑needed (prn) analgesic.
Please see the Zohydro ER full prescribing information for the complete boxed warning and safety information.
WARNING: ADDICTION, ABUSE AND MISUSE; LIFE-THREATENING RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION; ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE; NEONATAL OPIOID WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME and INTERACTION WITH ALCOHOL
Zohydro ER is contraindicated in patients with: significant respiratory depression; acute or severe bronchial asthma or hypercarbia; known or suspected paralytic ileus; and hypersensitivity to hydrocodone bitartrate or any other ingredients in Zohydro ER.
Zohydro ER contains hydrocodone, a Schedule II controlled substance. As an opioid, Zohydro ER exposes users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse. As modified-release products, such as Zohydro ER, deliver the opioid over an extended period of time, there is a greater risk for overdose and death due to the larger amount of hydrocodone present.
Potential serious adverse events caused by opioids include respiratory depression, potential for misuse and abuse, CNS depressant effects, prolonged gastric obstruction, and severe hypotension. The most common adverse reactions associated with Zohydro ER ( > 2%) include constipation, nausea, somnolence, fatigue, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, vomiting, pruritus, abdominal pain, peripheral edema, upper respiratory tract infection, muscle spasms, urinary tract infection, back pain and tremor.

Since California's Homeowner Bill of Rights, a new law limiting the power of banks to foreclose, came into effect on January 1, homeowners in Richmond and Oakland have taken a more proactive stance in resisting foreclosures, protesting inside banks at Wells Fargo braches across the East Bay and forcing the bank to reschedule home sales.
Following a series of such protests at its branches in Richmond and Oakland in recent weeks, Wells Fargo last week invited more than 8,500 of its mortgage clients to a workshop the bank said was meant to help borrowers keep their homes.
Tanya Dennis, one of the residents that protested at Wells Fargo's branch in Oakland's Fruitvale area last week, said community organizers had realized that banks were less likely to sell the foreclosed homes if the residents had community support.
"The banks do not listen to you as an individual, but as a group, you're powerful and I am living proof of that," Dennis said. Dennis' home was foreclosed on upon in 2010, but she was able to keep her home after she refused to move out and negotiated with the bank, she said.
Like Dennis, Gaylynne Hudson, a former Oakland Unified School District teacher, has been on the verge of losing her home since 2012. Hudson is currently involved in negotiations with the bank.
"I have been trying to save my house for a good part of the year and even before that I was trying to get a modification," Hudson said. Living in fear of losing one's home "is unnerving," she said. "It's unsettling and frankly it's downright scary."
"I don't think it's in the bank's best interests to take my home. I will be protesting definitely," Hudson said. "I am hoping that there will be some help coming, because I really don't want to lose this home."
Confronted by protesters over Hudson's home and five other properties under foreclosure in Oakland, Wells Fargo pushed back the sale of Hudson's home by another three weeks to February 25. This is this third time that the bank has deferred the sale following protests inside its banks on or before the day of the sale.
In a statement, Wells Fargo spokesperson Mariana Phipps said the bank continues to look into ways to help Hudson and other homeowners. "Wells Fargo continues to look at home retention options for Ms. Hudson," Phipps said.

What to see in Montserrat
Montserrat Attractions
Pivoting around a vital volcano, bordered by beautiful black sand beaches and criss-crossed by rugged hiking trails, Montserrat is a unique island getaway in the Caribbean, both thrilling and serene all at once. Immediately following a volcanic eruption in 1997, most locals abandoned ship and Monserrat fell silent. However, when the ash settled, fearless explorers answered the island's fiery siren song.
Today, intrepid travellers relish its rugged trails and, while most of the southern part of the island is a restricted zone, you'll find some daring spots for photo-ops with the Soufriere Hills Volcano close in the background. Verdant paths wind through endangered flora set among orchards, willows and fascinating wildlife, all contained by some of the most pristine and quiet beaches in the Caribbean.
These are not the traditional bleached Caribbean beaches found in movies and, rather, dense vegetation leads out to quiet stretches of dark sand dipping into choppy waves. A diver's paradise bursting with colour lies beneath the water's surface and so, offering excitement, seclusion and all the rewards of the road less travelled, Montserrat is one of the most satisfying spots for a Caribbean holiday.

Kathryn Bertine spends the hottest days of Tucson back east, cycling through trails shaded by the tall trees of upstate New York. Her cell phone gets spotty service there.
Her idea, though, is spreading throughout the world.
Last month, the 38-year-old professional cyclist launched a petition on the website Change.org.
After 100 years, the Tucsonan figured, the Tour de France needed a separate women's race.
Her group - which includes cycling champs Emma Pooley and Marianne Vos and triathlon great Chrissie Wellington - is asking Amaury Sport Organization, the Tour de France organizer, to allow women's pro cycling teams to face each other in next year's event.
As of Wednesday afternoon, almost 90,000 had signed the petition.
"Cycling is one of the worst offenders in modern-day sport in sexism," she said. "Stuff we were seeing in the '70s. We're thinking, 'Haven't we moved beyond this?'
"We haven't in cycling."
A women's race makes perfect sense to me, but I'm not a businessman.
Marathons and triathlons can run men and women's events together, but they're not exactly swimming in money.
Tennis majors feature both genders, but women play three sets to the men's five. Bertine's petition demands men and women race the same distance.
And there's this: In the mid-1980s, a female version of the Tour de France flopped.
"I believe now we have a greater depth of talent than we did before," Bertine said. "There are tenfold amount of women who can do what those women were doing.
"Time equals progress."
Bertine said she first noticed the discrepancy in 2007, when she began her cycling career after time in triathlon, ice skating and another eight sports. (For her 2010 book, "As Good As Gold," she tried to make the Olympics in sports ranging from modern pentathlon to team handball to luge.)
In road cycling, men and women don't race the same distances. They don't get the same media attention. And they certainly don't make the same money.
She came up with a business plan in 2009. In her years since, as both a cyclist and a journalist - she's written for ESPNW and is working on a documentary about sports inequality - she met like-minded peers.
Her petition asks for signers who believe women should have the same opportunity as men to compete in road races and who want women to race each other in next year's Tour de France.
Bertine believes those things on moral grounds - but isn't naive enough to believe that's enough.
She's selling it to the Tour de France as a business decision.
Bertine thinks the women's event could start a few hours earlier each day and be aired on the same television package as the men's race, with their own sponsorships and advertising.
(The two races could be weeks or months apart, too, she conceded, but the women's one wouldn't get the same media attention or make the same money.)
"We're trying to educate the Tour de France that the market for women's cycling is there," said Bertine, who races for Team Colavita/Fine Cooking Women's Professional Cycling and has dual citizenship in the U.S. and St. Kitts and Nevis.
"We believe they're a little so caught up in the tradition on the men's side that they're missing this tremendous opportunity."
Her petition makes no mention of prize money.
"All the women in pro cycling understand the money comes from the media exposure and the sponsors that make it all happen," she said. "It wouldn't be right to go in off the bat and request equal prize money."
Some are listening.
Jean-Etienne Amaury, the ASO chairman, told Bloomberg News last week he was open to change but "it's not likely to happen next year."
Tour de France general director Christian Prudhomme, however, has been "a little more of a challenge," Bertine said.
So what's the end game?
Bertine wants at least 101,000 signatures - considering next year's race is the 101st - and a meeting with Tour officials.
And then she wants to race in the first women's Tour de France.
"We're not trying to say, 'We want a Tour de France, make it happen, please,'" she said.

text: A massive public gamble was landed at Britain's Epsom Downs on Saturday when Kris Kin came late to secure a decisive victory in the Vodafone Epsom Derby (Eng-I). The son of Kris S, bred in Kentucky by Flaxman Holdings, was backed from 12-1 to 6-1 before supplying trainer Sir Michael Stoute with his third win in the race and jockey Kieren Fallon his second. Owner Saeed Suhail had paid £90,000 to supplement Kris Kin for the race, even though he had been entered originally as a yearling at a cost of only £310 and subsequently scratched last autumn. "I took him out originally because I didn't think he'd be mature enough for Epsom. He's kept surprising us because he really is one of the laziest horses I have ever trained." Lazy he may be, but Kris Kin had the perfect partner in Kieren Fallon – a jockey who simply refuses to let his horses shirk a challenge. That much became clear to a packed and delighted Epsom crowd when Fallon switched Kris Kin away from the rails to produce a driving finish that saw him wear down long-time leader The Great Gatsby to secure victory by a length. A short head behind them in third was the 4-1 shot Alamshar, who struggled to match the winner's finishing kick, while Norse Dancer, who was last early on, plugged on to take fourth. Stoute praised Fallon's part in the win, saying: "Kieren produced one of the great Epsom Derby rides. "During the race I was happy to see that Kieren had been able to get him into a good position by the top of the hill, and then when he started to improve coming down the hill I was getting a bit hopeful. "Two furlongs out I was sure he was going to run a big race and get pretty close , but it was not until right at the end that I realised he was going to win." It seems some things matter even more than winning the Derby. Asked if he was going to celebrate, Stoute said: "Probably not. I've got a game of cricket tomorrow !" Fallon, meanwhile, said: "Everything went his way today. He got a couple of bumps but was man enough to hold his position when it got rough. Coming down the hill, I asked him to dig deep and he answered me well. He found another gear and has done it well." A maximum field for the Derby produced surprisingly few hard luck stories. Refuse To Bend, the Two Thousand Guineas winner, was sent off the 11-4 favorite but was never really traveling smoothly. "He possibly didn't stay," said his jockey Pat Smullen. "It was a bridge too far." Pat Eddery, at 51 the oldest jockey in the race, was delighted with the performance of The Great Gatsby, who came mightily close to giving his trainer Aidan O'Brien a record third successive Derby win. "I couldn't have asked for better," he said. "I could have done with a little bit softer ground, but he's run a great race and I can't complain." Kris Kin's win ended a run of three straight wins for Irish-trained horses, although long time Derby favorite Alamshar stayed on to take third. "He didn't travel as well as I thought he would," said jockey John Murtagh.Produced from the Rainbow Quest mare Angel in My Heart, Kris Kin has three wins from four starts to his credit, including a group III victory previous to his Derby win.

In order to divide and proliferate, a single cell must distribute its chromsomes equally to daughter cells by establishing a microtubule-based spindle. Kinesin-5 is a microtubule motor protein that plays an essential role in aligning this spindle structure. As a hallmark of cancer cells is their increased ability to divide, kinesin-5 and other mitotic motor proteins are promising drug targets for cancer therapy, and ispinesib, a specific inhibitor of kinesin-5, is in Phase II FDA trials for non-small cell lung cancer and glioblastoma multiforme.
Kinesin-5 is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation by both M-Cdk and Wee1, kinases known to play roles in the cell cycle. However, the structural mechanisms of this phospho-regulation are unknown. My work uses structural biology and biochemistry approaches to determine the phosphorylation-dependent changes in kinesin-5. Our group uses Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to monitor the freedom of movement of different parts of the kinesin-5 protein, as well as kinetic measurements of the protein's activity. By combining these approaches, we hope to clarify the relationships between structure and activity in kinesin-5 and may be able to guide future drug discovery efforts.

CHEERY Stourbridge centenarian Jack Jones raised a glass to celebrate his 105th birthday.
Mr Jones, who worked as a long-distance van driver until he was 78, marked the mammoth milestone today (Tuesday February 12) with a get-together for family and friends at his Short Street home.
Jack, who received a congratulatory card from The Queen acknowledging his big birthday, made national headlines last year when he was left waiting 12 hours for a lift home from A&E at Russells Hall Hospital due to red tape and an overstretched transport service.
Despite the experience, which prompted hospital bosses to lay on another Ambuline service, and his advancing years - Jack said turning 105 didn't feel "much different" to being 100.
He added: "I'm a little bit slower than I was but I've still got my faculties.
"I like listening to the radio and watching the TV, although my eyesight is next to nil.
"But I still like meeting people. I love conversation especially with some of my older friends - and I like to keep up with what's happening today in the news and with sport. I enjoy most things."
The keen West Bromwich Albion fan also makes sure to keep up-to-date with his favourite team - and was quick to boast of their 2-0 victory against Liverpool this week.
Nephew Bob Goode, aged 82, from Herefordshire, said he can't explain his uncle's longevity, adding: "There's no history in the family as far as I know."
And the sprightly centenarian, who nearly died at 16 when an operation to remove his tonsils went wrong, added: "I can't understand why I've lived this long.
"I've worked hard all my life - until I was 78, and for 50 years I had a really good marriage."
Enville-born Jack, who was widowed in 1989, married his sweetheart Winifred at Stourbridge Register Office in 1939 after the couple met at Longbridge.
Winifred worked in the sewing department and Jack helped to build aircraft including the Fairey Battle and Short Stirling - before moving on to Castle Bromwich to work on the Spitfire.
The couple did not have any children but Jack kept himself busy - working as a long-distance commercial van driver until the age of 78.
He also retained a passion for cars, which began in his youth when he worked as a trainee mechanic at Goodwin, Foster and Brown's, and continued to drive until his licence expired when he turned 96.

Is There A Template For Large Numbers The Size Of A 9X13?
Decorating By Kiddiekakes Updated 12 Aug 2009 , 8:35pm by PinkZiab
I need an 8 and a 0 for 2 seperate cakes I need to cut out from 9x13 slabs.I know I can take 2 pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper and add to it to measure 9x13 and then draw them out but that is time consuming so I thought I would ask if anyone has templates to just print them out?
No, but you can do it in Word, and then you can choose which font and size you want. Just choose the 'outline' option to avoid using up all your black ink. It will run over two pages and you can tape them together.
Tubbs, how do you make the numbers exceed the 8 1/2 x 11" page size?
Set the page to landscape, then it should work. Set it to, like 800 point.
Oh Tubbs Thanks..I'm gonna try that!!!
I did a 1 3 a few months back (each was made from a double layer 9x13, so they were 4" high like my standard cakes). The 1 was obviously very easy (hehehe), but I just free-handed the three, making a slight impression with the tip of the knife before I started carving... the hardest part was removing the cake from inside the 3 (as it would be with the and getting the fondant in there... but all in all it came out really well. Thought after that, I swore I would only do numbers for first and eleventh birthdays (lol).

211. Nancy SHEPLER was born in 1806.2 She died in 1882 at the age of 76.2
Nancy SHEPLER and Smith FRYE were married on 21 March 1824 in Washington County, Pennsylvania.2 Smith and Nancy were second cousins. Smith FRYE2, son of Abraham FRYE and Hester JOHNSON, was born on 11 August 1806 in Washington County, Pennsylvania.2 He died on 22 June 1860 at the age of 53 in Peoria County, Illinois.2 Smith is the first of the family to carry that given name. No ancestors named Smith have been found but there were Smiths living along Cedar Creek in Virginia that were neighbors of the Fryes. He is said to be the 12th child in the family, but I don't have a complete list.
Smith Frye was shot. He had a contract with a Charles C. Carroll to feed cattle from the slops of Caroll's distillery. There was a dispute over the final payment of $100 and Carroll drew a gun; when Smith grabbed Carroll's hand the gun fired and shot Smith in the abdomen. He died the next day. Smith exonerated Carroll of blame, but he was tried just the same and was found guilty of manslaughter.
There was a will dated 25 Dec 1858, naming wife Nancy as Executrix. Nancy was to dispose of his property and pay bequests to the children. Sons Peter, Jacob & Henry had received advances; Smith and James were to receive their bequest at age 21. Daughter Jane had received her share; daughters Sarah, Catherine Margaret, Natilla & Peoria E. still had their bequests coming. The will was filed for probate 6 Jul 1860.
Nancy SHEPLER and Smith FRYE had the following children:

Two years ago, we were playing for a national championship. Today we got our butts beat, and it wasn't as close as the score.

This is now going on 5 weeks Post Surgery. 0 swelling, Im back to being 110% active and it feels like I never had gynecomastia surgery. I feel that the nipple is suppose to lay flat/flush on the chest muscle. Does this seem like a situation where I will need additional surgery? Its almost as if there was no surgery done at all. I shouldnt be able to grab fat like this behind the nipple? its how it was before. Noway that will magically disappear in 2 months from now.

Fat vs gland vs laxity
Thank for the photos. In these situations the diagnosis really is about determining whether it is fat, gland, or laxity as treatment depends in part on what is causing the fullness. If it is fat liposuction will be able to thin out the area. If it is gland however, resection by cutting it out is recommended. It does not appear that laxity is a big component of the problem at this time.
All the best,

Was Enough Tissue Removed At The Time Of My Gynecomastia Surgery?
It would be very helpful if I could see a pre-operative picture to see how much actual skin you had. Also your age, and history of weight gain and loss would be useful as well. I see there is an area on the lateral side of your chest where the liposuction cannula was inserted, and that is the site most of us use for liposuction male breast reduction. It also appears there is a small incision at the bottom of the areola where some gland was surgically removed. If that is true, then your plastic surgeon apparently made all the right maneuvers.
Post operatively, I would use therapeutic ultrasound (the kind physical therapist use for sore muscles) on your chest to break up the organized swelling that normally occurs and hasten your recovery. Is it possible there is still some fat left? Of course, but it is also possible that it is just skin and subcutaneous tissue, and it needs to shrink up and may take up to 9 - 12 months for you to get a total read on things. If there are hard areas in your male breast area, these can also judiciously be injected with a corticosteroid. The good news is it is much too early to decide if there is any residual fat or not. You should still be wearing a compression garment, getting ultrasound, and giving it time. I think you will be much more satisfied with the result 3 - 4 months from now.
Swelling After Gynecomastia Surgery
The most common complaint after gynecomastia surgery is the persistent appearance of swelling behind the nipples.In my experience, gynecomastia is a combination of soft fatty tissue and very firm glandular tissue.The fat can, and probably should, be removed with liposuction but the hard tissue needs to be surgically cut out. Either surgery causes significant normal swelling which obscures the final result and will need 6 months to settle.Whether you have soft or firm tissue left will determine what if any additional surgery will be necessary. For now, your only course is to be patient!

The *Let's occupy something and pout about unfairness* movement….
…is making the news!
For what, you may ask?
Let's see….at Occupy Dallas, a 14 year old girl was sexually assaulted…did the Tea Partiers sexually assault a minor at one of their rallies?
No, they did not.
At Occupy Wall Street, both homicides and shootings are up 154% over the same one-month time period of last year…did the homicide rate go up by the same rate year over year at Tea Party events?
No, they did not.
The *occupiers* at these events are pissing and shitting in public, having sex in public (sorry, but being in a sleeping bag in public is *not* concealing the fact that yer humping like weasels who got into a stash of Monster Energy drinks…), stealing from each other, not bathing, etc., etc., etc…
The Tea Party gatherings were nothing even remotely akin to what's happened in these hippie revival events…
I say we just bring out the fire trucks, turn on the hoses, and wait for them to peaceably disperse…

Help, I just tried to load my new CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 and they requested a "Serial Number" If it was on the BOX that the CD came in, then I'm S.O.L., as I threw the box away last week and put the CD in a holder. Now today I tried to load it and do not have a serial number. SHEESH!!! How dumb can one get.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If you purchased a legal copy of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, the serial number should be on a sticker on the back of the DVD Sleave. If you cannot find it, please contact the Corel Customer Service (http://www.corel.com/contactus) with your proof of purchase information.
As a side note, the box itself is part of the proof of purchase normally... you will therefore most certainly be asked for a reciept or invoice that proves you purchased CorelDRAW legally... you would be amazed by how many people try to get free serial numbers

But the discovery of a body floating in the whirlpool bath ends Kincaid's vacation before it's begun. One of his new acquaintances at Followdale House is dead; another is a killer. Despite a distinct lack of cooperation from the local constabulary, Kincaid's keen sense of duty won't allow him to ignore the heinous crime, impelling him to send for his enthusiastic young assistant, Sergeant Gemma James. But the stakes are raised dramatically when a second murder occurs, and Kincaid and James find themselves in a determined hunt for a fiendish felon who enjoys homicide a bit too much.

Ennis freshman fall to North Forney
Dave A. Vance, email@example.com
The Ennis Lion freshmen maroon team (0-2-1) looked to be headed toward their first victory of the season Thursday night, but a few mistakes in the second half let the game get away. The North Forney Falcons came back from a 8-0 deficit going into the half to take home a 12-8 victory.
"We started playing soft, we didn't play hard enough, we gave up. During halftime we thought we were winning 8-0 and we just gave up and thought we had the game," Lion defenseman Darius Johnson said.

text: WVC commissioner Blizzard watches league melt away By Mitch Vingle March 2, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- THROUGHOUT THE FINAL West Virginia Conference basketball tournament, something was missing.And, for once, the reference isn't to fans. A pall covered the event. It was the last hoops tournament under the banner of the WVC.Sure, we saw some good basketball, as always. But the die-hard fans and administrators there were unusually quiet. You could see the sadness on the faces of those involved for years, in some case, decades.Especially the sadness on the face of WVC commissioner Barry Blizzard.His pained expression was striking."I'm extremely sad," Blizzard said during a break in the action. "I didn't want it to end this way. I view the tournament like a child. I wanted to leave it better than how I found it. Obviously, I'm not. And that hurts."Indeed, attendance has been down, more than anything because of the flood of national television hoops games since Blizzard was hired in 1987. He was powerless on that point. Perhaps he could have done more. From time to time there's been criticism of him from this keyboard. One couldn't help, however, but feel sympathy for the man this week, as he went about his duties at Charleston's Civic Center. The Mountain East is a reality. Reid Amos will be the commissioner. Blizzard is out."Personally, it hurts like crazy," Blizzard said. "Both of my daughters [Aimee and Emilie] have been to every tournament since I've been hired. My two grandchildren [were there] Saturday. Both were born in January and I wanted them to be able to say they were here."It's been family for us."Blizzard is a Bramwell native who went to Bluefield College before getting a master's at Radford. He started as an athletic director and sports information director at Bluefield before taking over the WVC. Under him, the conference went from an NAIA league to an NCAA Division II member. Blizzard ran his first hoops tournament in '88. "I'm turning 62 in June," Blizzard said. "I hoped to work for the league five more years before turning it over. I never believed this would happen."Indeed, he went from being almost rehired to on the street within a whirlwind of two weeks, when the Mountain East was put together.And here's the salt in the wound: While Blizzard was busy working this past weekend's event, Amos was on press row handling the Internet broadcasts."It is what it is," Blizzard said. "Reid's my friend. My concern is the student-athletes. I just want them to have a great experience. "But my heart's breaking. I'm being straight up with you."If his words didn't tell you, his pained expressions did."I'm looking at three possibilities [for future employment]," Blizzard said. "I don't want to move [from Princeton, where the league office sits]. I can retire, but my concern is health insurance."The thing is, I can't just sit down. And the only thing I know is collegiate athletics. I have a new wife [Jill]. We and my girls are going to dinner Saturday night - and probably cry a little bit."Don't confuse that, however, with weakness. Blizzard has been through life's storms. He's survived."I rely on my faith," Blizzard said. "I lost my [first] wife [Vicki] three years ago to cancer. I lost a 3-month old grandchild to [sudden infant death syndrome]. Now, I've lost my job. "Faith carries me though. I know the Lord has something good in store for me."Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Press release from the Sierra Wildlife Rescue:
Chips the bobcat, whose rescue by a firefighter from the Chips Forest Fire in Plumas County last August gained national attention, was released back into "bobcat territory" in Humboldt County on Friday, along with her den mate Sierra.
The juvenile cats are now eight months old and were judged by experienced rehabbers to be ready to be returned to their natural habitat. Their other den mates, Tuffy and Sutter, are being released together in another region.
Chips was about four weeks old when rescued by US Forest Service firefighter Tad Hair, of the Mad River Hand Crew. Obviously orphaned or lost, Chips' eyes were full of soot and ashes and her paws had second-degree burns. The bobcat kitten was taken to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care Center for intensive medical treatment by veterinarians and rehabbers, and subsequently transferred to a Sierra Wildlife Rescue rehabber in Placerville to continue her recovery. Since rehabbing organizations strive to always place all wild animal babies with others of their species, Chips was soon joined in her spacious enclosure by rescued bobcat Sierra, a male of the same age, and the two others.
Since, as a kitten, Chips was thought to be a little too "friendly," due to necessary handling by humans to treat her extensive injuries, early concerns were that she would not become wild enough to be released. However, over many months in the exclusive company of the other bobcats, she became extremely cautious of any human contact, emerging from her den only when no one was in evidence, and grew up eating, playing, wrestling and competing with her den mates, as a proper bobcat kitten should. Along with the others, she became very competent at chasing down her own food (live mice), supplemented with additional nutritious foods she will hunt in the wild.
For release to their new home, Chips and Sierra were encouraged, using reliable, low-stress techniques, to enter large animal carriers, and were then transported to Humboldt County. During the photo shoot through the wire of their spacious pen just prior to transport, Chips and Sierra both growled and snarled at their rehabber and lunged at the camera, showing the kind of instinctive wild behavior rehabbers ensure is present in any animal prior to its release.
We wish Chips and Sierra the very best for a long and happy life of freedom in the wild.

I'm just glad no one was killed or maimed by this guys actions.
Maybe instead of initial jail time, this guy may need some long term drug and alcohol treatment followed by a jail term he'll remember.
Flashback Kearns, UTNov. 13, 2013 7:28 a.m.
So, why isn't there a lockout device on his vehicle? Most likey is bacause the prosecutors plea barganed his case down to "alcohol related wreckless driving" instead of DUI. So he's never been convicted of a DUI.

It's going to cost the City of Zanesville more money to collect residents leaves this fall.
Already the process has been put off because of a tight budget and fuel costs. Now officials said they'll be taking this year's leaves to a landfill because they don't have a farm to take the leaves like they usually do. The added cost is now $16-18,000.
"It's the same as the tonage for the regular trash pick up and we will have as many as twenty loads a day and up to 120 and they are kind of compressed as they get blown into the leaf machines," said Public Service Director Mike Sims.
City Officals said citizens can bag their leaves and put them out with the trash but there is a fourteen bag limit. They also ask leaves be raked to the curb.
"We don't want them raked into the street because when it rains they flush down our storm sewer and plug our catch basins," explained Sims. "We encourage people to rake them near the edge of the street. On the streets that have sidewalks rake them between the street and the sidewalk."
Citzens can also take leaves to the Street Garage on Central Avenue during business hours. Sims asks that only leaves get dropped there because it costs additional money to bring in a machine to chew up the tree branch debris.
Below is a list of leaf collection times by ward.
November 14-15, 28-29

Bates joins returning stars Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters. As with "American Horror Story: Asylum", all of the returning stars will be playing new characters.
Bates is set to play an old friend of Lange's character who will be revealed eventually as a nemesis. Bates is famous for her portrayal of the psychotic, sledgehammer-wielding stalker in Stephen King's "Misery". Looks like there could be some potential for an epic catfight!
Co-Creators and Executive Producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have not yet announced the new title or story for the upcoming "American Horror Story", but you can bet it will be dark, disturbing and addictive!

text: I am about to inherit my mom's Kodak Colorsnap 35 (Vintage 1959) . I have done a bit of research on it, but was confused by the statement in one of the articles on the internet that reffered to this camera as a "Rangefinder" camera? Before receiving it, I can't really play, but was interested if anybody knows if the above is true or not? The camera is basically unused since the mid 1970's (I remember taking pictures with it in around 1979 as a child...who ofcourse had no clue what all the buttons and bits did), and it is in mint condition. I am going through a phase of really enjoying the use of these old cameras, which each has its own "individuality". For general interest the camera cost her GBP25 in 1959. Would appreciate any information people can contribute. Rgds Kal

Dear Supervisors of Vernon County, Wisconsin, and their legal, political, and spiritual advisors:
It is my specific intent, in writing this post, to annoy, offend, demean, ridicule, degrade, belittle, disparage, and humiliate you, using this electronic means.
Do I have a "legitimate purpose" in doing so? I think I do. I think it's a legitimate purpose to annoy, offend, demean, ridicule, degrade, belittle, disparage, and humiliate public officials who pass insipid, trend-humping measures in defiance or ignorance of fundamental constitutional rights. I think that you took an oath to uphold the constitution, and that you have willfully broken that oath. Oathbreakers ought to be disparaged and humiliated.
I recognize that you and I might differ on what a "legitimate purpose" is.
But that's sort of the problem.
See, via the Student Press Law Center, I learned that you have just passed an unusually vapid county ordinance, apparently in an effort to ride the wave of media hype over "cyberbulling." The ordinance you passed says this:
Whoever sends information to another person by electronic means with the intent to annoy, offend, demean, ridicule, degrade, belittle, disparage, or humiliate any person and which serves no legitimate purpose shall be required to forfeit not less than $50.00 nor more than $500 together with the cost of prosecution and in default of payment shall be sentenced to the County Jail until such forfeiture and costs are paid, not exceeding 30 days.
That sounds like potentially a lot of money. I'm not sure I can swing it. It's Christmastime, Vernon County Supervisors, and I need extra money for alcohol to drown out the increasing holiday din from my kids.
More importantly, though, I think your ordinance is clearly, obviously, patently, inarguably unconstitutional, because it prohibits a wide variety of speech protected by the First Amendment, all based on the vague, lonely clause "which serves no legitimate purpose." That clause is apparently one that you people in Wisconsin think is some sort of magic "go away First Amendment!" mantra. But it's not. Used as you've used it, it leaves people to guess at what conduct is legal or illegal, thus violating due process as well as freedom of expression. Courts have upheld the "no legitimate purpose" clause only when it is attached to statutes that are far more specific about the conduct prohibited, and where the conduct prohibited is already outside the protection of the First Amendment. For instance, courts have upheld the phrase in stalking statutes prohibiting willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly following or harassing someone and making a credible threat against them, or stalking statutes prohibiting a course of conduct that the defendant knows would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, and is intended to do so, and does so.
By contrast, all I have to do to violate your silly little law is to use electronics to annoy you in a way somebody thinks has "no legitimate purpose."
The document linked above suggests that this ordinance was proposed by your "Legal Affairs Committee." Perhaps, in soliciting and evaluating legal advice about whether your ordinances passes constitutional muster, you should check whether your legal advisor graduated from an institution that is, technically, a laundromat.
And so, Vernon County Supervisors, together with your feckless entourage: I hereby annoy you. I hope to offend you. I demean, ridicule, degrade, belittle, and disparage you. Do I humiliate you? In my experience people in your profession are without shame, so possibly not, but I'm giving it my best shot. Moreover, surely you doubt my legitimate purpose, because my purpose is to question whether officious officials like you serve any legitimate purpose whatsoever in society, or whether you simply waste taxpayer money and generate high-grade nuisance. Moreover, by measures like this, you continue to advance the transformation of our society into a collection of whiners and misfits who run to an incompetent government over every slight, no matter how ridiculous. (I recognize your skill at self-perpetuation; such as attitude is the only way you could ever find steady work.)
Arizona didn't step up. Connecticut wussed out. But surely you guys will try to extradite me.
Come get me.
[cc: By email to all Vernon County officialdom I can find. Feel free to forward yourselves.]
Edited to add: it sure would be a lot easier to use electronic means to annoy, offend, demean, ridicule, degrade, belittle, disparage, and humiliate these people if any of them had email. Does anyone have one of those electronic scrolling signs I can borrow?

FSA publishes food allergen labeling guidance
The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a technical guidance to help small and medium-sized businesses comply with a new rule on allergen labeling information that will take effect later this year.
Beginning on December 13, food business in the UK must follow new labeling rules for pre-packed and loose foods. According to FSA, this is part of the European Union Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU FIC) coming into force.
Under the new rules, food businesses are required to provide information on 14 different allergens if they are added or used as ingredients in food.
The allergens listed in the EU FIC are: cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, mollusks, eggs, fish, peanuts, nuts, soy, milk, celery, mustard, sesame, lupin and sulfur dioxide.
More information and the full guidance can be found here.

The Olivier Awards: the winner isn't BBC Radio 2
So, here we are, just two months from theatreland's biggest night of the year, and BBC Radio 2 has dropped a bombshell: it will not this year be airing the Olivier Awards live as it has done since 2010.
This isn't just bad and disappointing news for the Society of London Theatre, which organises the awards – it's bad news for listeners to Radio 2 and fans of theatre.
Because, now that the BBC has decided to end its live output, coverage of the ceremony will comprise a highlights package on ITV – shown after the awards themselves – and a highlights package on Radio 2, broadcast a week after the ceremony.
[pullquote]The Olivier Awards is UK-based and features homegrown talent. It deserves to be seen and heard live[/pullquote]
Okay, there will be a live relay of the ceremony in Covent Garden, should fans be keen to sit al fresco and watch the winners revealed. But no public service broadcaster will be bringing the awards to viewers or listeners live, as the ceremony happens.
According to Radio 2, a two-hour highlights package – hosted by Claudia Winkleman – will allow it to "capitalise on the great achievements in British theatre across the last year with the people who made it happen". I am not sure how a highlights show does that better than a live broadcast, but there you go.
The two-hour show follows the format Radio 2 recently used for the Country Music Awards, with Radio 2 stating that this programme was "exceptionally well received by our listeners".
That may be so, but the CMA's are American, and a highlights package probably suits a ceremony that does not come from the UK itself. The Olivier Awards, on the other hand, is UK-based and features homegrown talent. It deserves to be seen and heard live.
Quite why the BBC thinks audiences will want to tune in to hear a highlights show on the radio one week after the event itself – when ITV will have already by then broadcast its own highlights show, and Twitter will have been awash with news of the winners as the ceremony happens – is difficult to get your head round. Still, there's always the chance that Radio 2's highlights package will be discovered by people who wouldn't necessarily have tuned in live, so that's a bonus.
But I feel for SOLT, I really do. Because last year it looked like the show had made huge progress with its ITV deal and its live coverage on Radio 2 (though the idea of both broadcasting content did sit a bit uncomfortably).
I can't help thinking the BBC's TV arm should have snapped up the rights to show the ceremony on TV, and run this alongside its own radio coverage. Perhaps when this didn't happen, and the BBC found out that ITV was broadcasting the awards too, it felt somewhat bruised. Maybe this has something to do with it withdrawing its live coverage? Perhaps the BBC is feeling a tad bitter?
Whatever the reason for the BBC's down-scaling, it remains clear that there is a huge appetite for theatre – with SOLT's own figures this week revealing attendances in 2013 were 14,587,276, up 4% on the year before. That proves that people love the theatre, and that there is most likely an appetite for an awards ceremony that honours the people who work in it.
So now, without Radio 2's live coverage, we live in hope that ITV will eventually switch to a live broadcast. Fingers crossed.

Why do some smokers get COPD and others do not?
The answer is in their genes.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by progressive decline in lung function, and encompasses both chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Almost 90% of COPD is caused by chronic cigarette smoking, but only 25% of long-term tobacco smokers will go on to develop COPD.
New research published yesterday in Respiratory Research from the Wake Forest School of Medicine and Saint Louis University, may shed some light on why.
The researchers looked at a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) gene known as ADAM33 in 880 long-term heavy smokers. ADAM33 is located on chromosome 20 and has been linked with asthma in previous research. This study is unique in comparing long-term smokers with COPD versus a control group of long-term smokers without COPD.
Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are human DNA sequence variations, were found in ADAM33 that were more frequent in the COPD group than in the group of smokers without COPD. One particular SNP, known as S1, had a particularly strong link to lung abnormalities.
Functional studies will now be needed to evaluate the biologic significance of these polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of COPD, but the early results suggest that the abnormalities may affect the chances of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in later life.

A long and happy life ended at peace and at home on January 14th for Bruce Clark, a resident of Los Altos for over fifty-years.
Graduating as an Electrical Engineer from Cal in 1942, his professional career spanned seven decades, beginning at Harvard during WWII, where his team developed radar technology.
After the war he worked at the AEC Cyclotron and Stanford. In 1951, he became part of the Digital Development Group at SRI International, working on projects as varied as "ERMA" (an early vacuum tube computer and the forerunner of e-commerce) and the Pioneer 10 space probe. These successes helped infuse him with an unflagging optimism.
In retirement, Bruce continued consulting work for SRI until the age of 92. He was an avid tinkerer. A true progressive, he read widely and until his last months, he gleefully debated current events, always with facts at the ready. He spent many days at the library training people in computer and internet literacy.
A proud, Calistoga-born native Californian, Bruce was the third child of Melcina May Baird and Joseph Reece Clark, themselves children of pioneers who travelled the Oregon Trail. In 1953 he married Ilene Sandberg Clark, a co-worker at SRI.
Bruce and Ilene were among the first Los Altos Lutheran Church members. Ilene was active with music in the church while Bruce often helped with building upkeep and was a regular member at the men's breakfast. As a father, Bruce has given his children an enduring bequest: abiding love, humor, the confidence to figure things out on their own and the drive to never stop learning.
Bruce was predeceased by his dear wife Ilene to whom he was married for fifty-three years; by his sister Florence Hensill; and by his brother Wayne Clark. He is survived by his four children, David Clark, Jim Clark, Mae Clark, and Laurie Clark Bryson and his loving niece Joan Clark Brown. Bruce has seven Grandchildren.
The family extends their deep appreciation to his hospice caregivers. A memorial service and celebration of his life was held at Los Altos Lutheran Church on Saturday, January 24th.
