There's something magical about princesses and castles and Once Upon a Time. I've always loved stories about princesses, and used to write about them when I was a little girl. But I never dreamed I would one day write about them when I was grown up! Yet my debut romance from Berkley Heat, FORBIDDEN, has a heroine who is a Druid princess.
FORBIDDEN is set during the first century AD, during the Roman invasion of Britannia and while there aren't any mystical castles, there is magic and intrigue and, of course, a brave warrior who could easily be a handsome prince from fairy tales. :-) There is no evil witch or malicious fairy but the villain is deliciously corrupt and manipulates power from the gods to his own nefarious ends. And, naturally, he's out to get the heroine!
But like all the best fairy stories my princess finds her hero, and together they have to fight against all the odds to stand a chance of winning their very own Happily Ever After.
I have a copy of FORBIDDEN for one lucky commenter on my post.
QUESTION: Who is your favorite villain from fairy tales or Romance?

Pierre Garcon in negotiations with Redskins Posted by Michael David Smith on March 13, 2012, 4:29 PM EDT Robert Griffin III may be getting a new receiver in Washington, six weeks before Griffin himself lands in Washington. Pierre Garcon, the free agent receiver who has played his entire four-year NFL career with the Colts, is in negotiations with the Redskins, Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports reports. The Colts tried to get a deal done with Garcon before free agency and it's still possible that he'll stay in Indianapolis, but he decided to test the market first. That may end up being a profitable decision because the Redskins are known to be interested in spending big to get a playmaker at wide receiver — even though the recent league ruling taking some of their salary cap space away has hamstrung their efforts. The 25-year-old Garcon started all 16 games for the Colts last year and, despite the absence of Peyton Manning, had career highs in catches (70), receiving yards (947) and touchdowns (six). He's one of several big-name free agent receivers on the market, and is the first known to be actively negotiating with a new team.
Mario Williams, Meachem to visit the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday night Posted by Evan Silva on March 13, 2012, 4:21 PM EDT The free agency signing period is officially underway, and the top defender on the market has lined up his first visit. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on NFL LiveTuesday afternoon that free agent defensive end Mario Williams is visiting the Buffalo Bills tonight. Williams has also been linked to the Bears and Jaguars in reports and speculation. The Bills will likely try to sign him shortly after his arrival, ensuring Williams doesn't get the opportunity to visit any other teams. Williams is expected to command in the neighborhood of $45-50 million guaranteed, depending on the length of his contract. He'll likely command north of $15 million annually. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that free agent wide receiverRobert Meachem will also visit the Bills on Tuesday night.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Calvin Watkins reporting that TE Martellus Bennett to visit Giants. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Laurent Robinson is going to visit Jacksonville tonight. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter More visits: chad Henne expected to visit Jacksonville, Kyle Orton expected to visit Dallas. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Free-agent CB Cortland Finnegan scheduled to visit Rams on Wednesday. Finnegan could rejoin Jeff Fisher.
https://twitter.com/#!/JasonLaCanfora/status/179670455882485761 I mean if VJ lands in Tampa I feel bad for the man.. tough division and very young team.. mostly will go there for the $$ and weather..
Broncos to host free agent safety Brandon Meriweather ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Broncos will host safety Brandon Meriweather for a free agent visit on Tuesday night.Meriweather, the 24th overall pick in the 2007 draft, has been highly inconsistent throughout his career. The Broncos need safety help, however, and they apparently assigned Meriweather a high free agent grade.Meriweather, who spent last season with the Bears, is the 75th-rated player on PFT's Hot 100.
Gotta hope that Buffalo (!??!?!!!) doesn't beat us to the punch with Mario Williams and Robert Meachem
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Now Redskins on verge of signing 49ers WR Josh Morgan, too, to go along with Pierre Garcon..
Pierre Garcon @PierreGarcon85 I wanted you all to hear it from me 1st before u saw it on the news... I will be signing with the Washington...
Bears in deep negotiations with Jason Campbell Posted by Evan Silva on March 13, 2012, 5:16 PM EDT Florio is reporting that the Bears are in currently in "deep negotiations" to sign free agent quarterback Jason Campbell. ESPN's Adam Schefter also mentioned Chicago as a likely destination for Campbell, during a Tuesday appearance on NFL Live. Campbell would serve as Jay Cutler's backup in Chicago, upgrading a troublesomely weak position. Caleb Hanie and Todd Collins have served in the role, and both flopped.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter In addition to trying to sign WR Vincent Jackson, Buccaneers trying to sign G Carl Nicks. Two top free agents could be Tampa bound.
Rams showing interest in Tracy Porter and Jason Jones Posted by Evan Silva on March 13, 2012, 5:30 PM EDT The Rams have scheduled a Friday visit with free agent cornerback Cortland Finnegan, and they plan to be aggressive in the meantime. Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that St. Louis has "reached out" to free agent cornerback Tracy Porter. Porter played for Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams with the Saints. Williams' expected bounty-scandal discipline has not stopped St. Louis from pursuing his former players. Multiple reports, including one from Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, also have indicated that the Rams are showing interest in free agent defensive tackle Jason Jones. Jones will reportedly visit the Rams tonight.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Ravens DE Cory Redding, in talks with Indianapolis, scheduled to visit Colts tonight. Titans DL Jason Jones to visit Rams.
Don't go blaming me for burning your marshmallows, you know how hot it is right now, you have to watch them
UTKevinAcee @UTKevinAcee LT might not be resolved for while. Gaither wanted to test market. Chargers legit want McNeill at lesser price, but he'll see $ out there
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter San Francisco, Washington and Tampa Bay all pursuing free-agent CB Eric Wright.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter And now the 49ers also jumping in on Chiefs free-agent CB Brandon Carr.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Red Bryant re-signing with Seattle: 5 years, $35 million, including $14.5 million gtd.
Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken Robert Meachem is in Buffalo, but #Chargers have reached out and inquired about the wide receiver, league source says. No visit planned yet
In otherwords, AJ got caught with his pants down and didn't have a backup plan. Laurent Robinson would be a massively dissapointing downgrade.
Not when he would likely cost 50% and provide 75% of the production. Bring in another guy who can provide 50-60& of the production, and we will be doing just fine
We we lost 8 games last year WITH Vincent Jackson, even if your estimate is right and Robinson is 75% the player is (a high estimate IMO) thats still means we're worse than last year. Just like Brees, just like Michael Turner, just like Darren Sproles, we will miss Vincent Jackson.....and likely waste our stupid compensation pick.

HARROGATE, Tenn. — The No. 18 Lincoln Memorial University Railsplitters took a commanding 95-58 victory over the Bruins of Bob Jones University in nonconference men's basketball action Friday in Tex Turner Arena. With the win, LMU jumps out to a 2-0 start on the season, while the loss drops Bob Jones to 1-7 on the year.
The Railsplitters shot a cool 50-percent from the field in the game, including an eye-popping 56-percent clip from beyond the three-point line. Lorenza Ross paced LMU with 16 points on 7-10 shooting and added four rebounds and a game-high four assists.
Tim Pierce came off the bench to spark the Railsplitters with 13 points, three assists and three boards. Wally Jones his three of five 3-pointers and finished with 11 points while adding two rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal.
Chance Jones was another highlight off the Railsplitters' bench, tallying 10 points on 2-3 shooting from beyond the arc. Curtis McMillion and Keenan Peterson added eight points apiece while Jairocey Simpson, Jake Troyli and Cam Carden each chipped in with six points in the game. Dustin Craig notched seven points and bolstered his performance with a game-high 10 rebounds. In total, 11 different players scored in the contest for the Railsplitters.
The Railsplitters dominated the battle of the boards (47-28) while recording 10 steals in the contest. LMU forced the Bruins into 16 turnovers while committing 12 of their own miscues in the game.
Bob Jones was led by the 14-point effort of Ray Holden. Evan Brondyke added 13 points and Kyle Turner 10 for the Bruins.
Holden, Turner and Josh Clater all grabbed five rebounds to lead Bob Jones.
Brondyke's 3-pointer gave the Bruins a 7-6 lead in the early goins, but the Railsplitters responded with an 11-0 run, capped by a pair of free throws from Pierce to take control of the game.
The LMU was leading just 30-22 late in the half, but they used a 9-1 spurt over the final 3:57 and Carden's trey sent the Railsplitters into intermission up 39-23.
Lincoln Memorial quickly built onto that lead, establishing a 35-point cushion by the 14:27 mark of the second half. The Railsplitters ran out to as large as a 37-point lead and never held less than a 28-point advantage for the remainder of the contest. They would conclude the game with a 95-58 win over the Bruins.
LMU hits the road for the first time this season as they head to Trevecca Nazarene Tuesday. That contest is scheduled to tip at 7 p.m. in Nashville.

I don't know what ya'll do with Halloween candy at your house, if you have any suggestions I'm all ears. I've come to the realization that I've got ISSUES with "fun sized," candy treats. Every time I walk by, my hand has already grabbed a piece before my brain even knows what has just happened.
Now, I'm not saying I'm ready to give it up cold turkey. I just need larger portions that scream "I'M AT LEAST 10,000 CALORIES" to help motivate me to say no. I could tear through every one of those little snack sized candy bars in the picture above. By themselves they don't stand a chance. However, if I add the candy to a Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza, I see it totally different. There's no way to trick myself into believing that it's just a little miniature fun size bar anymore.
1. Go through your Halloween candy and unwrap all the candy you want to use to make your cookie pizza. I used Kit Kats, Twix, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, and M & M's.
2. I used an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix. Follow directions on box, and pour into round pan. (it doesn't matter what shape you use rectangle is fine too) Don't fill the pan more than half full or you'll have cookie everywhere.
3. I used muffin tins for the rest of the batter.
4. Follow directions on package, however add approx. 8 minutes to the cook time. Check to make sure that the oven is preheating.
5. Take the muffin tins and cupcake holders out of the oven and immediately pour chocolate chips out of the bag on top of each. If you don't have any nut allergies in your family, Add 1 TB of peanut butter to the chocolate chips. Allow to sit on the hot cookie pizza for two or three minutes, then gently spread out the chocolate or chocolate/peanut butter "icing" across the surface. I just used a spoon nothing fancy.
Follow the steps listed above if you are using muffing tins. I just sprinkled a couple of chocolate chips in each tin. Then, if you want to add peanut butter add a tad to each muffin.

Obama honors fallen Newtown educators with Citizens Medals
WASHINGTON (AP) — Family members of the six adults killed in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting gathered at the White House Friday as President Barack Obama bestowed the nation's second-highest civilian honor on their fallen relatives.
One by one, Obama read the names of the six educators receiving the Presidential Citizens Medal, saying they had no idea when they woke up on a chilly December morning of the sacrifice they would soon make for their communities.
"They could have focused on their own safety, on their own well-being. But they didn't," Obama said. "They gave their lives to protect the precious children in their care."
For all the grief-filled vigils and agonizing funerals that have marked the two months since a shooter killed the six adults and 20 first-graders at the school, Friday's ceremony was markedly optimistic. In place of tears, there were smiles on the faces of some of the victims' relatives, as Obama presented the medals in a memorial affirming the devotion to citizenship he said the six exemplified.
"It defines our way our life," Obama said. "It captures our belief in something bigger than ourselves — our willingness to accept certain obligations to one another and to embrace the idea that we're all in this together."
Two of the educators honored, principal Dawn Hochsprung and school psychologist Mary Sherlach, are believed to have lunged, unarmed, at the gunman to try to stop him. Another, teacher Victoria Soto, reportedly hid children in a closet. Lauren Rousseau read to her students as a gunman invaded the school, doing her best to keep them calm. Rachel D'Avino and Anne Marie Murphy were said to have wrapped their arms around the children as chaos ensued.
Among the 18 people honored Friday was Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, a renowned pediatrician who developed a leading behavioral test for newborns. He created the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, which hospitals across the country use to detect physical and neurological abnormalities. Another medal went to former Pennsylvania Sen. Harris Wofford, a volunteerism advocate who advised Martin Luther King Jr., helped form the Peace Corps program and was a leader in higher education.
Obama credited another honoree, Jeanne Manford, with inspiring a movement. In the 1970s Manford launched a campaign for tolerance for gays and lesbians after her son, Morty, was assaulted at a gay rights demonstration. She created a support group that evolved into Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays, a national organization that now has more than 350 chapters. Manford's daughter accepted the award on behalf of her late mother.
"These folks participate, they get involved, they have a point of view," Obama said. "They don't just wait for somebody else to do something, they go out there and do it, and they join and they become part of groups and they mobilize and they organize."

Over the last few weeks I have had a few occasions to spend time with families with small children. During these visits I have noticed a disturbing trend among Infant-Americans. It seems whenever these "babies" are held by women they feel fully within their rights to grope about the breasts of their caretaker with blatant disregard for the feelings of the victim being groped or the sensibilities of others in the room. Something must be done about this, and it needs to be done soon. This is a slippery slope. Today finds us with a few isolated incidents that local authorities can handle fairly efficiently. But this menace, left unchecked, will undoubtedly lead to hordes of infants gang-groping whomever has the misfortune to step in their paths.
The thing I find most disturbing is the total media blackout of the crisis. Turn on any TV or newspaper and you will find you are bombarded by portrayals of these domestic terrorists that are nearly completely drawn in a favorable light. And not one single presidential hopeful has addressed this issue.
I urge you to help spread the word and bring light to this serious concern facing our civil rights as Post-Infant-Americans before it is too late.

New version Z Tank(Zulfiqar) , army day
AIM-54 phoenix , produce in iran
ghased 3
asr 67
Cheiftains and M60A1's. Hmmmm. Nice tanks but verrrrrrry outdated.
Hi Persian girl_Artemis,Nice photos thanks for posting them
Islamic BS aside, they made a nice tank. Seems to be based on the M60 chassis, but longer. I think it has a soviet/russian 125mm gun, like the one on T-72s and the turret has a nice, angled shape, away from typical T-series or other eastern designs and closer to the M1 Abraams.
Now how effective its armour is, apart from looks, that's another story. But I can safely assume that it should be on par or better than a Chieftain. A tank these guys have been operating for decades. Surely by 2011 they have mastered all its secrets.
I'm really surprised by the IRIAF ability to keep those beautiful Tomcats flying.. thanks for the post
You'de expect the best air force in the world to have enough blue paint. apparently they don't.
Man its great to see the F14s still flying, if only it was the USN flying them, but oh well.
Oh how cute. They photo copied a couple other tanks, cut and pasted here and there, then put purty camo on it.
Sunglasses crew makes a return!
They must be carrying on the legacy

Police say Wei Chu Wu, 45, started the five-alarm blaze inside 41 Spring Street around 6:40 p.m. Thursday after getting into a fight with his child's mother.
Investigators say one person was found dead on the third floor fire escape, believed to be a woman who lived in the building with her husband for 40 years.
She was burned beyond recognition.
The woman who was involved in the dispute and her 13-year-old son were both accounted for.
The couple reportedly came to New York from China a year ago.
Police say Wu was transported to New York Downtown hospital for bruises after he fought with first responders who were trying to enter the building.
He is said to have broken one male police officer's hand during the altercation.
As a result, Wu is also charged with attempted assault of an officer and resisting arrest.
Residents who spoke with NY1 in the neighborhood Friday were still trying to make sense of the tragedy
"He was barefoot and he was extremely upset. He had a blank thing on his face. And he was in handcuffs. His lip was broken and he was like bleeding," said one SoHo resident.
"You ruin the whole building and everyone who lives in the building. You ruin the building over your love triangle or whatever? Terrible," said another SoHo resident
The FDNY says nearly 200 firefighters responded to the fire.
An investigation is ongoing.

Our SMART 2020 report showed that the ICT sector can save 15% of global emissions in 2020, mainly through enabling energy efficiency in sectors like transport, energy, industry and buildings.
Today, 5 billion people have mobile phones. We connect to the internet to share information, work, socialise and shop. And not only will people become more connected, but 'things' will too; there could be 50 billion machine-to-machine connections in 2020. This information will make climate change visible. It will help us monitor our impacts and emissions. It will helps us optimize systems in all sectors for energy and resource efficiency.
This means that information and Communications Technologies – ICTs – are key enablers of the Clean Revolution. But the ICT sector can't work alone to achieve this opportunity, and there is a danger that the 15% opportunity will not be realized.
What we do:
We demonstrate that the opportunity is happening already. See reports and case studies of solutions in action on SMART2020.org, or read more on the SMART 2020 Blog. In December, 2011, we published the Information Marketplaces report to show how technology can provide value for city sustainability today and in the near future.
We work on overcoming barriers to the opportunity. We've been working with companies like Google, BT and Cisco to make the case for smart action, advocate for access to energy information, and demonstrate innovation in cities. And we're pleased to be partnering (see more information below) with social enterprises Living Labs Global and CityMart, the city association Metropolis, the UK Technology Strategy Board, the Digital Energy and Sustainability Solutions Campaign (DESSC), the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and the UN Foundation.
Achievements to date
The clean revolution will only be possible when each citizen is opening up new opportunities to live better using less energy and resources. Information and Communications technologies (ICT) are unlocking the means for this opportunity to become reality: access to these technologies allows consumers, companies and governments take smarter decisions, and to make our buildings, transport systems and infrastructure more efficient.
Our activities have focused on:
1. Demonstrating the opportunity:
- In 2008, The Climate Group on behalf of the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) published the SMART 2020 report, with analysis by McKinsey. It showed that 15% of emissions savings would be possible in 2020, with a value of over EUR 600 billion in energy savings. The SMART 2020 report has become the definitive work on how ICT can be applied to climate change mitigation. Engagement with business and government leaders, and subsequent reports by The Climate Group and our partners, have addressed the ICT opportunities in the US, China, India, Australia and Europe.
- In November 2009 the GSMA with support of The Climate Group published Mobile's Green Manifesto which set out how the mobile industry planned to lower its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per connection. In June 2012, The GSMA updated the Manifesto with detailed benchmarking of the sector's progress toward its goal of reducing total global GHG emissions per connection by 40% by 2020.
- On December 1, 2011, We published the Information Marketplaces report in partnership with Accenture, Arup and Horizon (University of Nottingham), that investigates the economics of smart cities, and how technology can be used in cities to meet the growing challenges of expanding urbanization.
- See reports and case studies of solutions in action on SMART2020.org, or read more on the SMART 2020 Blog.
2. Policy: Advocating for consumer access to energy information
- Since 2009, Google and The Climate Group have worked with a group of companies including our member HP to open up access to energy information. In 2010, we sent a letter to President Obama to encourage his administration to set a goal to make energy information available for consumers— the first step towards better management of energy use. In June 2011, the White House announced it would encourage utilities to provide machine-readable information to all citizens as soon as possible, backed by investment in energy education. In 2012, a letter welcoming the Green Button initiative was sent to the President signed by 25 of the original companies who called for energy information access.
- On June 21, we will launch a new global partnership for supporting the policies needed to ensure ICT meets UN Sustainable Energy for all goals of doubling energy efficiency and renewables.
3. Accelerating solutions deployment in cities and regions:
Over 50% of the world's population already lives in urban centers. It is in cities are where over 70% of emissions are created from the transportation systems, buildings and infrastructures that provide citizens with services. The application of 'smart solutions' requires that complex systems become more efficient, and therefore that city leaders are leading innovators for low carbon solutions.
- In June 2010 we formally announced the incorporation of the Connected Urban Development (CUD) Alliance of cities (founded by Cisco Systems in partnership with cities Amsterdam, Seoul, San Francisco, Madrid, Lisbon, Hamburg and Birmingham) into our SMART 2020 programme. We embarked on a process for ensuring we could continue to support cities in demonstrating ICT-enabled solutions to climate change.
- in 2011, Alstom, IBM, Cisco, Arup, (others) met in a precinct in Adelaide to discuss ambitious development, as part of our work on Integrating solutions in precincts (Climate Smart Precincts Australia). We worked with our state government partners to identify precincts for development, and bring climate and 'smart' solutions expertise to inform site development. The Climate Smart Precincts report in 2010 identified principles for 'climate smart' development, and government is now taking on the recommendations for how to better align procurement with integrated solutions that have demonstrably larger emissions savings
- The China Redesign program launched in March 2011, and together with the SMART 2020 program is bringing ICT expertise into city development strategy and projects that deliver to China's 5 Year Plan's low carbon objectives.
- On November 3, 2011, our work to test ICT-enabled solutions in cities entered the next phase following the Connected Urban Development partnership. We announced 21 city challenges – at least half directly related to climate change (in areas such as transport, energy, city monitoring) in partnership with Living Labs Global Award. To win the Award, international technology and service solution providers competed to win the chance to pilot their solutions in these cities, putting their effectiveness to the test.
- On May 2nd, we announced the winners. See our blog, and the Living Labs Global website for winners.
- In early 2012, the Agile Cities partnership with social enterprises Living Labs Global and CityMart, city association Metropolis and UK Technology Strategy board was announced. This partnership aims to improve transparency of the city services market opportunity, enable innovation, and ideally shorten the time – and money – it requires to deploy sustainability solutions in cities
AGILE Cities Partnership
Agile Cities is an initiative connecting cities, innovation leaders in business and society and civic organisations to promote an open standard for a more effective marketplace among cities. Our aim is to provide cities the tools to identify their needs, communicate their challenges, discover solutions and explore impact through piloting and other evaluation methods in an accelerated process to promote uptake of high-impact, proven innovations.
A partnership between The Climate Group and social enterprises Living Labs Global and CityMart.com, city association Metropolis and the UK's Technology Strategy Board will support cities in answering these questions.
Cities and their citizens will have an overall gain by delivering better services, at lower cost and understanding the impact of technologies on accessibility, climate change and other policy objectives through the use of shared evaluation methodologies, piloting, and data and experiences collected in other markets.
Marketing costs for businesses are expected to fall by up to 90% which could be carried over into more competitive solution pricing.

ICTs for Sustainable Energy Partnership (ISEP)
ICT-enabled solutions (e.g., intelligent transportation, smart buildings, smart logistics, telework and telepresence) have already contributed to 10x efficiency in the US economy historically, and have even greater future potential to save 15% of global emissions in 2020, according to research by The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, The Climate Group and others. However, market and other barriers stand in the way of meeting this potential and the ICT industry, acting alone, cannot remove these barriers. The ISEP will create both a global platform and country-specific projects through which the ISEP will attack these barriers.
With support from the U.S. government, the ISEP partnership will focus on realizing the ICT industry's important further potential and its important role in achieving the goals of the UN's SE4All initiative:
- doubling energy efficiency,
- doubling the share of renewable energy resources, and
- ensuring universal access to energy.
ISEP is a partnership between The Climate Group (which will provide the secretariat), The Digital Energy & Sustainability Solutions Campaign (DESSC), the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and the UN Foundation announce a partnership commitment in support of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative, entitled the "ICTs for Sustainable Energy Partnership" (ISEP).
Read about the ISEP partnership launch at Rio+20 Earth Summit in June, 2012.

Covert DT twigs from Warrior are designed to complement the fast, agile, light-on-their-skates player who is always looking to take over the game and dominate with their speed and hands. The Covert DT line is built with SERIOUS technology for this serious player, though we didn't forget to have fun. And winning is fun. Covert DT enables the speed player to dominate with wicked wristys and snaps while on the fly thanks to Dagger Tapper Technology. This aggressive taper accentuates flex to deliver greater pop because it concentrates the load in key areas all while minimizing torque down near the blade allowing the player to pick their spots.Covert DT5 has been produced using True 1 Construction to create a TRUE, single-piece, fully molded shaft and blade. This is killer stuff because it allows for easier puck control and play since there is no "fuse" or connection joint between the shaft and blade.
Covert DT5 – Let your actions be known. BE COVERT.
Soft-Core Blade
The internal backbone of this blade is a semi-rigid polyurethane that absorbs vibration and helps settle the puck on the blade for better feel. The full-composite construction frame remains highly durable and responsive during puck handling as well as receiving passes.
True 1
In a process first developed by Warrior engineers, True 1 construction describes the process of making a single-piece, fully molded shaft and blade. This process allows better control and dial-in for flex and weight balance of the stick since there is no fuse or connection joint of a shaft and blade.
Carbon fiber support structure reinforces the blade core for added strength and increased endurance.
Dagger Taper
Aggressive dagger taper line view accentuates the flex characteristics of the stick geometry. Dagger taper allows the hosel and blade area to increase flex and remain stable versus more traditional square or oval geometries in this region. Taper area and thin blade also give a visual impression of the puck being larger.

Im Jake Matijevic and its September 14th and the year 2005. Ill be giving the Flight Directors Report for the MER vehicle.
On Spirit this is sol 604 in the late afternoon and on sol 603 the rover drove to another position at the summit of Husband Hill. Spirit arrived at Husband Hill on sol 581 and since then has been positioning itself to take a series of panoramic images, both south and east of this position, which looks into a basin and a hill area on the other side of the Columbia Hills. This is our first view of this area and our science team has been eagerly waiting to see these areas for a new set of targets to be planned in the coming weeks for investigation by the Spirit vehicle. Therell be plans to drive into this basin, perhaps even drive to another hill of the other side of Husband Hill in the Columbia Hills in the next couple of months. On the other side of the planet Opportunity has driven again along the so-called Erebus Highway. This is an area that is distinguished by a series of exposed bedrock, which appears to look like paving stones and leads almost directly to the edge of Erebus Crater. Opportunity will be continuing along this path for the next several sols and, hopefully by next week, will arrive at Erebus Crater. Both vehicles are healthy and both vehicles are experiencing the conditions of the summer season in the southern hemisphere on Mars. And thats whats been going on on Mars today. |

First Trailer and Poster for BLOOD TIES Starring Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, Mila Kunis, and Zoe Saldana
by Matt Goldberg Posted 31 days ago
Last week, we saw the first images from Guillaume Canet's Blood Ties, and now the trailer and poster have been released. The story takes place in New York in 1974, and centers on two brothers. One has recently been released from prison, and the other is a cop who is trying to help his brother out only to discover that old habits die hard. It's weird to see Marion Cotillard trying on a New York accent, but the crime-drama aspect looks good, and there's definitely a lot of potential here. As for the poster, I really like the 70s-style they've used.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster. The film also stars Clive Owen, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mila Kunis, Billy Crudup, James Caan, and Zoe Saldana.

Lake County reports drop in residential, commercial property values (with video, document)
Lake County Auditor Edward H. Zupancic announced Monday that the average residential property valuation in the county dropped 8.8 percent and commercial valuations dropped an average of 15.2 percent.
State law requires each county to conduct property value reassessments every six years, called the sexennial reappraisal, and the valuations have been completed.
In Lake County, they are determined by a combination of on-site visits to each of the approximately 111,000 parcels; sale averages from 2009, 2010, and 2011; and the neighborhood classification a parcel falls within.
Tyler Technologies Inc. is the appraisal firm that conducted the on-site visits at a cost of $1,466,900, or about $13.16 per parcel.
Zupancic said the average drop in residential property values is close to what he estimated.
"It's within the ballpark, I was thinking somewhere between 8 to 10 percent and that came within the range," he said. "Do I feel that's a pretty good number? Yes, I do, when looking at a countywide average."
It's the second time in three years that property valuations have dropped across the county. During the triennial property tax update completed in 2009, residential property values dropped by an average of 10 percent countywide as those figures are based statistically on sales and not physical examination. Commercial property values were unchanged then.
Property owners should start to receive a notice in the mail that notifies them of changes in valuation and what their old valuation was, Zupancic said.
New valuations will be reflected in tax bills in 2013, he said. Valuations reflect what the Auditor's Office deems as the new estimated market value of a property as of Jan. 1, 2012. Continued...
Not included in factoring sales are those from foreclosures, sheriff sales, sales among relatives or those including personal property.
Lakeline Village was the only taxing district in the county to have an increase in valuation — at 0.18 percent.
Scott K. Yamamoto, a state certified appraiser who is supervisor of the Auditor's Office Appraisal Division, said that's mainly because their were few sales in the community and because most property is located close to Lake Erie.
Across the county, the decreases in values ranged from 2.86 percent drop in Taxing District 9 in Concord Township to a 19.84 decrease in Taxing District 14 in Fairport Harbor.
"It's based on specific sales in that area," Zupancic said. "In some communities, the homes may be older, 40 to 50 years old, and people aren't willing to pay for them."
After a property owners receive a mailing to notify them of their new estimated market value, if they do not feel that the valuation is a fair representation of what their property would sell for on the open market, they will have the opportunity to meet with an appraiser from Tyler Technologies for an informal hearing, Zupancic said.
Residential properties will be handled on a walk-in basis only. Commercial/industrial property owners must schedule an appointment by calling 440-350-5829, 440-918-5829 or 440-428-4852. Hearings will be conducted in Painesville at 1 Victoria Place, Suite 304, through Dec. 8. All information must be received prior to 4:30 p.m. Dec. 7.
If, after their hearing, or even if they chose not to have an informal hearing, the property owner can file a formal complaint with the Lake County Board of Revision.
The BOR is a three-member panel that reviews all formal valuation complaints that can only be filed between Jan. 1 and April 1 next year.
Zupancic said the effect of these valuation decreases on taxes is not known at this time because taxes will not be computed until late December and tax bills won't be mailed until early January. Continued...
However, the percentage change in a property owner's valuation does not correlate to the same percentage of increase or decrease in property taxes, he said. Tax levies that have been passed throughout the calendar year could have an impact on the final percentage change in taxes.
Also some tax levies that generate a specific dollar amount could have adjustments in the effective tax rate to ensure that same amount is still collected, Zupancic said.

Most of the time when people talk about agile software development, they talk about project and planning practices but never mention actual development, as if development where an afterthought when writing software. This talk bills into the real details of how to do agile development. I discuss best practices like continuous integration, pair programming, how developers should interact with story cards, how to handle enterprise concerns like integration with other software packages, and a slew of other topics related to agile software development.

Visions Anew Institute, a non-profit which empowers individuals in navigating the divorce process, offers free, therapist-led support groups each week at various locations around Atlanta. Many people going through the divorce process do not have anyone to turn to for help and assistance. They feel their friends and family are tired of hearing details of the divorce and do not understand their experience or what they are feeling. They are experiencing a roller coaster of emotions – anxiety, guilt, rejection and betrayal, just to name a few.
Currently, Visions Anew offers free, therapist-led support groups to help women deal with these different feelings. These groups allow participants to share experiences and information about navigating through the divorce process.
For additional support groups taking place in the Atlanta area, please visit us at visionsanew.org.
