The Second Battle of Himera was fought near the city of Himera in Sicily in 409 BC between the Carthaginian forces under Hannibal Mago (A king of Carthage of the Magonid family, not the famous Hannibal of the Barcid family) and the Ionian Greeks of Himera aided by an army and a fleet from Syracuse. Hannibal, acting under the instructions of the Carthaginian senate, had previously sacked and destroyed the city of Selinus after the Battle of Selinus in 409 BC. Hannibal then attacked the city of Himera, site of the great Carthaginian defeat of 480 BC and utterly destroyed that place. Himera was never rebuilt, a new city of Thermae was built to the west of the ruined city, which contained a mixed population of Greeks and Phoenicians.
Phoenicians of Western Sicily had aided the Elymians against the Dorian Greeks of Selinus in 580 BC, when a Greek colonization attempt of Lilybaeum was defeated.[1] The invasion of Spartan Dorieus was again defeated by Carthage near Eryx in 510 BC, and a war followed where Carthage destroyed the city of Hereclea Minoa.[2] Carthage had signed treaties with the cities of Selinus, Himera and Zankle by 490 BC. The pretext for launching the great Punic Sicilian expedition of 480 BC was the restoration of the deposed tyrant of Himera. The Sicilian Greeks under the tyrants Gelo of Syracuse and Theron of Akragas had crushed the Punic expedition in the 1st battle of Himera in 480 BC.
Carthage had stayed away from Sicilian Greek affairs following the defeat for 70 years, during which time Greek culture started to penetrate the Elymian, Sikanian and Sicel cities. The political landscape in Sicily also changed as Greek tyrants were replaced by democracy and oligarchy, the domain of Syracuse shrunk and infighting between Greek cities flared up in Sicily. Athens had sent fleets to Sicily in 427, 425 and 424 BC to intervene, which caused Hermocrates of Syracuse requesting all Sicilian Greek cities to remain at peace at the congress of Gela in 424 BC.
The Elymian city of Segesta had clashed with Selinus over territorial rights and marriage issues, and had been worsted in the conflict. After an appeal to Carthage was turned down in 415 BC, Athens heeded the plea for help and sent over an expedition that was ultimately defeated at Syracuse in 413 BC. Faced with renewed hostility from Selinus, Segesta again appealed to Carthage in 410 BC. The Carthaginian Senate, after some debate, agreed to intervene. This appeal came at a time when the mainland Greek cities were locked in the Peloponnesian War, and Syracuse, an ally of Sparta, was not focused on Sicily. The Syracusan fleet was operating in the Aegean Sea.
Hannibal Mago sent two expeditions to Sicily, the first one in 410 BC which drove the Selinute army from Segestan territory, and the second one obliterated Selinus after besieging the city in 409 BC.[3] The mission given to Hannibal by the Carthaginian Senate was fulfilled with the fall of Selinus. However, Hannibal chose to march on Himera and avenge the defeat of his grandfather 70 years ago.
Opposing forces[edit]
Carthage is said to have mobilized 120,000 men, including 4,000 cavalry, recruited from Africa, Sardinia, Spain and even Sicilian Greeks for the Selinute campaign in 409 BC, but a realistic estimate is around 40,000 soldiers.[4] The Carthaginian army, after the battle of Selinus, had been reinforced by 20,000 Sicel and Elymian soldiers on the way to Himera,[5] boosting its strength to 50,000 soldiers at that point.[6]
Carthaginian Cohorts[edit]
The Carthaginian army was made up of many nationalities. The Libyans supplied both heavy and light infantry and formed the most disciplined units of the army. The heavy infantry fought in close formation, armed with long spears and round shields, wearing helmets and linen cuirasses. The light Libyan infantry carried javelins and a small shield, same as Iberian light infantry. The Iberian infantry wore purple bordered white tunics and leather headgear. The Heavy infantry fought in a dense phalanx, armed with heavy throwing spears, long body shields and short thrusting swords.[7] Campanian, Sicel, Sardinian and Gallic infantry fought in their native gear,[8] but often were equipped by Carthage. Sicels and other Sicilians were equipped like Greek Hoplites.
The Libyans, Carthaginian citizens and the Libyo-Phoenicians provided disciplined, well trained cavalry equipped with thrusting spears and round shields. Numidia provided superb light cavalry armed with bundles of javelins and riding without bridle or saddle. Iberians and Gauls also provided cavalry, which relied on the all out charge. Carthage at this time did not use elephants, but Libyans provided bulk of the heavy, four horse war chariots for Carthage,[9] which was not present at Himera in 409 BC. Carthaginian officer corps held overall command of the army, although many units may have fought under their chieftains.
Greek forces[edit]
The mainstay of the Greek army was the Hoplite, drawn mainly from the citizens and mercenaries. Sicels and other native Sicilians also served in the army as hoplites and also supplied peltasts, which is a unit where the poorer citizens also served. The Phalanx was the standard fighting formation of the army. The cavalry was recruited from wealthier citizens and hired mercenaries. Large Sicilian cities like Syracuse and Akragas could field up to 10,000 – 20,000 citizens,[10] while smaller ones like Himera and Messana mustered between 3,000[11] – 6,000[12] soldiers. Syracuse had sent a relief force, originally recruited for aiding Selinus to Himera, it included 3,000 soldiers from Syracuse, 1,000 from Akragas and probably 1,000 mercenaries.[13]
Hannibal marched to Himera probably using the same route taken by the Selinus horsemen in 480 BC[14] and set up his main camp on the west of the city, while about a third of the army encamped to the south of Himera.[15] The city of Himera sits on top of a hill 300–400 feet high on the western bank of the River Himera. The hill is steep in the northern, western and eastern sides but gradually slopes to the south. There are hills to the west and south of the city.[16] Instead of building a circumventing wall and fully investing the city, The Carthaginians assaulted the walls with the help of siege towers and battering rams after setting up their camps. However, the city walls withstood the attack and no breaches could be made for the Punic infantry to exploit. Hannibal then sent sappers, who dug tunnels under the walls and collapsed sections of it by setting fire to the wooden support beams.[17] Carthaginian infantry then attacked through the gap, but The Himerans repulsed the Punic assault on the city, and then threw up makeshift walls to close the breaches.[18]
Sometime after this event, Syracusan general Diocles arrived with 3,000 Syracusan hoplites, 1,000 soldiers from Akragas and another 1,000 mercenaries and entered the city. Joining the Himeran force of about 10,000 troops[19] (majority hoplites with some cavalry and peltasts), the Greeks launched a surprise attack on the Punic lines, probably on the forces posted on the south of the city. The Greeks achieved total surprise and in the confusion, Carthaginian troops fought each other as well as Greeks. As the Carthaginians ultimately broke and fled after losing about 6,000 soldiers, Greek soldiers went after the scattered remnants of their enemy. At this point, Hannibal launched a counterattack with the force he had held in reserve at the other camp (to the wast of Himera), routed the Greeks and chased them back into the city, with 3,000 Greeks losing their lives in the debacle.[20]
The main Syracusan fleet was away from Sicily, but 25 triremes had arrived at Himera after the battle from Syracuse. As the Carthaginian fleet was at Motya, their arrival gave the Greeks command of the sea around Himera.[21] Hannibal spread a false report that the Punic army was going to attack Syracuse after sailing there from Motya, as the main army of Syracuse was approaching Himera, thus leaving their city unguarded. This convinced the Syracusans to leave Himera for their mother city. The city of Himera had little chance of withstanding the Carthaginians on their own, so they decided to evacuate the city.[22] Diocles marched out of the city with half the men and all his troops at night, the Syracusan ships evacuated as many of the women and children as possible. The Carthaginians resumed their assaults the next day. The city managed to hold out for 1 day. Just as the Syracusan fleet was returning and was within sight of the city the following day, the Carthaginians broke through. Iberian troops of the Punic army had managed to secure a gap in the wall, and also the sections of the wall flanking the gap. This held off the Greeks until the Carthaginian army stormed the city through the gap, and the reduced garrison of Himera was overcome by weight of numbers.[23]
Acts of Vengeance[edit]
Hannibal sacrificed 3,000 Greek prisoners at the place where Hamilcar, his grandfather and leader of the 480 BC expedition, had fallen. The city of Himera was utterly destroyed, even all the temples were flattened to the ground, and the women and children were enslaved. Hannibal did not, however, divert a river over the city site (like the Greeks did at Sybaris in 511 BC) to complete his revenge. The spoils of war were divided among his troops, and the prisoners were sold into slavery. The Italian mercenaries, who mostly led the assault, complained that they had been abused by their commander and that their payment was not sufficient.[24] They were subsequently discharged. Ironically, they took service with the Greeks.
Hannibal did not go after Akragas or Syracuse, the Sicilian cities mainly responsible for the humiliation at Himera at 480 BC after sacking Himera. He disbanded his army (the remaining Italian mercenaries chose to take service with Syracuse), garrisoned the Punic territory with sufficient troops and returned to Carthage with the fleet, where he was received with honors. Himera as a city would never be rebuilt again. The survivors of Himera built a city called Thermae nearby, which housed a mixed population of Greeks and Phoenicians.
The Greek response to the sack of Himera was mild. Syracuse chose to expand her fleet and Akragas began to expand her army, but no official action was taken against Carthage or the Punic territory in Western Sicily. Hermocrates, a Syracusan general, chose to use the sack of Himera to set up a base at Selinus around 407 BC and raid the territories of Motya and Panormus, which provoked a strong Carthaginian response and almost the whole of Sicily fell under Carthaginian domination by 405 BC.

Also note, the Go See date is not set yet. So once the client makes their Top Picks in our system we'll manually contact those men for attendance.
As a model or actor, getting booked begins and ends with a strong portfolio showing off your personal brand (photos, reel, tear sheets, resume). And we believe our Webcomp® portfolio is the best tool available for your self promotion and casting submissions. Over the next few weeks the Chef will unpack all the ways you can maximize your Pro Webcomp.
Your success is, frankly, up to you. Yes, an agent might help, or a coach, or us, but at the end of the day YOU are the one at the casting or audition.

P.S.S. *ABOUT THE SHARKS: Unfortunately our industry is full of people (we call "sharks") selling you on their class / service / book / connections / elixir that guarantees you'll be famous and rich!! Just give them your money and TRUST them. ITS A LIE. There are no short cuts and nothing is guaranteed to be sure.
You've probably been warned before but it's worth repeating: Be VERY critical of who you listen to, who you partner with, who you give money to and especially who you trust in this business. There are no overnight successes. There is hard work, preparedness and some luck….but mostly hard work. So don't give anyone your hard-earned money, us included, unless they prove the value of their service to you first.

The reinvention of Michigan needs to continue, said Gov. Rick Snyder, and he�s the one to do it for the next four years.
The self-described nerd officially announced his re-election campaign Monday, although he has been signaling his intention for months.
�I�m really excited to announce that I�m running for re-election. We are the comeback state,� he told a crowd of about 100 invited guests at the James Group International, an auto supplier in southwestern Detroit. �I�ve been honored to be your governor for the last three years.�
While Snyder, business leaders, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville spoke about the future, about 50 protesters picketed outside in the frigid temperatures and talked about the mistakes of the last three years.
Holding a sign that read �Snyder: Senior Tax Wrong,� Jim Pearson, 65, said the tax on pensions implemented under Snyder hit him especially hard.
�It means about $1,400 a year for me that I wasn�t planning for,� said Pearson, a retired teacher. �It�s a betrayal of a promise made to people like me.�
Snyder capitalized on the attention he gained from an ad that ran Sunday during the Super Bowl to pitch his vision for 2014 and beyond. He talked about the opening shots, which included him emerging from the water in scuba gear.
Snyder said in Detroit that he dove for �a Pure Michigan event last summer,� in an apparent reference to a shipwreck dive he took wearing an oxygen tank in the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. But at an event in Lansing later, he said the footage in the ad, in which he is wearing a wetsuit, mask and snorkel but no oxygen, was shot in a swimming pool.
Kyle Robertson, a spokesman for the Snyder campaign, said the footage was shot in Snyder�s pool at his home near Ann Arbor in 2010, before he was elected governor. Robertson said Snyder referenced the lake dive at the Detroit event but did not mean to suggest the footage for the ad was shot there.
�The scuba stuff was good,� he told reporters at the Lansing-based business Two Men and a Truck. �We were underwater, and now we�re out of being underwater.�
Howell native Mark Schauer, Snyder�s Democratic challenger, said in a conference call with reporters that Snyder aired �another glitzy Super Bowl ad filled with lots of happy talk and recycled catchphrases,� but the governor who calls himself �one tough nerd� has only been tough on seniors, students and kids, not the wealthy or corporations.
�I�m not surprised at a career politician making comments like that,� Snyder said when told Schauer described him as out of touch with average Michigan residents.
Snyder's starting his re-election bid in Detroit, which is in bankruptcy court and has an emergency manager appointed by Snyder, was symbolic.
�One of the key things we need to keep working on is the city of Detroit. We�ve made tremendous progress,� he said.
Snyder�s announcement comes under sharply different circumstances than the first time he ran, in 2010. A certified public accountant and venture capitalist, Snyder came from the business world and had no political experience. But he beat four other well-established Republicans � U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, Attorney General Mike Cox, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard and state Sen. Tom George � in the August primary.
And he cruised to victory over Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero in the November general election.
Snyder acknowledged that lack of name recognition won�t be a problem this time around.

Author's Note: Just some quick fluff for fun since my birthday's coming up in July. Felt like Danny needed a pat on the back for being awesome. And I do love me some Steve/Danny best friend moments!
For those of you reading Mai-Tai's and Machine Guns, next chap will be up soon! Until then, enjoy this one shot!
"Danny if this is some sort of trick..." Rolling his eyes for what seemed like the hundredth time that morning, the Jersey native glanced at his partner who was currently eyeballing him as if he'd grown a third head.
"It's not a trick Steve... What? You don't trust me?" Danny asked pretending to be insulted. Steve jerked his head back and looked out the passenger side window; shame evident on his face.
And yes, passenger side... For once Danny was driving his own car.
"I trust you Danny," The Navy SEAL replied. "It's just that... I mean you suggesting any sort of out door fun in the sun activity in Hawaii is... Very un-Jersey of you." Danny laughed as he continued to drive along the highway, window down, wind in his hair.
"And how many times have YOU been to Jersey?" He asked. Turtling his head Steve grimaced and shook his head.
"The way you see life? Hopefully never," he joked. Danny gave him a sarcastic grim before focusing back on the road again. After a few minutes of quiet driving Steve decided to try again.
"What's the deal Danno?" He asked. "Why all of a sudden do you have a new appreciation for, and I quote from a few weeks after we met; "taking my life into my own hands and tossing myself out of a perfectly good airplane"."
"You don't want to go skydiving McGarrett just tell me now and I can turn the car around," Danny shrugged. Steve seemed to be completely insulted by this and squirmed a lot before answering.
"Danny... I'm trained for this. I mean... I'm trained in every way a man can be trained to take the leap of faith when it comes to jumping out of various aircrafts in various different ways," Steve said apparently recalling his whole military skydiving career. "I jumped from a stealth helicopter into a sand storm and landed 30 miles off course, broke my ankle and STILL managed to get to the intended target and execute the mission within optimal time variance range. This is tourism skydiving. I could fall out of that plane half asleep, be completely asleep before I pull my chute and still land safely. You? When was the last time you ever willingly did anything for fun that put your life in…" And Steve made sure to dramatically emphasize his air quotes when he finished with, "potential danger?"
"Look at you..." Danny smiled fondly. "You've learned how to rant! I'm so proud!"
"Getting off topic Daniel," Steve huffed. "You show up at my door, at an hour you swore to me was ungodly, saying, "let's go skydiving" like it was the most normal thing in the world." When his partner suddenly stopped and all pretenses of humour dropped from his face, Danny worried for a moment that something was wrong. But then Steve spoke again and the moment passed. "Jesus…Are you... God, Danny are you dying?!"
"No! Moron!" Danny barked shaking his head. "You don't think that might have been the first thing I told you this morning?" Working he jaw, Steve was slow to reply, his eyes narrowing as his militaristic brain started pulling overtime as if it were the only way to understand what was going on.
And the truth was Danny did have an ulterior motive. About two weeks ago he'd been watching TV at two am contemplating nothing and everything all at once when a commercial had come on for "Sky Dive Hawaii". Now for some inexplicable reason, Danny had written the number down and called the next day.
He made an appointment for two because there was no way in hell he was doing it alone. And Steve, being a crazy ninja, was naturally Danny's first choice for the friend he was going to literally risk his life for.
Hell, they did it almost everyday at work, might as well do it for a completely insane, pure adrenaline inducing rush, that could be chalked up to a potentially bone crushing good time.
The Camaro pulled into the airport parking lot and once again as they dismounted Steve could apparently no longer hold his suspicions.
"You... Skydiving!?" He barked. "Danny... What kind of twilight zone have we entered that is making you, YOU jump out of a plane?! I'll do this I will because hell... It's fun for me but..."
"What day is today Steve?" Danny interrupted. Steve frowned then looked at his cell phone. A moment later he shrugged,
"The 25th."
"Of?" Danny asked. Steve's aneurysm face intensified.
"September," he replied. Danny stretched as they approached the main building.
"Two weeks ago in 2001, I took a trip worse than jumping out of a plane, I lost a good partner and great friend," Danny said with blunt honesty. "On top of that the world looked like it was coming to an end and in the days that followed I found out 18 guys and women I went to the academy with were dead. Another 26 FDNY who I knew were also gone and 9 paramedics... You want to know what I decided two weeks after nine-eleven?"
By now Steve had stopped walking forcing Danny to stop and turn around as well. His friend's face was an unreadable blur of every emotion in the book but cleverly hidden.
Always one for words, Danny was a bit surprised when Steve simply shook his head and waited, wide-eyed, like a child waiting for his bedtime story.
Danny smiled a genuinely content smile and looked at his feet.
"I decided once a year I would throw out the rule book, tell the world to f*** it, and do something that reminded me life is exactly that... life. We've only got one, why live in fear? I've bungee jumped, I've gone whitewater rafting, and I've gone through a weeklong survival camp with nothing more than a pocket knife and a gallon of water and today... Today I do the thing that scares me completely to death. Today I jump out of a plane."
"Sounds like a suicidal bucket list," Steve said smiling warmly. Danny threw his arms into the air and shook his head.
"You are an animal! I pour my heart out and you're making jokes!" He exclaimed. "The one time, one time I bring someone along and Rambo SEAL has to throw it in my face."
"One time?" Steve asked after a pause. Danny groaned knowing this part was coming; the part where he admitted exactly why Steve was riding shot-gun to this madness.
"Yes Steven, I usually do my suicide missions, as you put it, alone," he replied. When the detective lifted his head and looked at his partner's face he wasn't surprised and secretly vindicated to find a look of complete sympathy.
"Why me? Why now?" Steve asked quietly. Danny pursed his lips then winced up at the early morning sun.
"Because if my chute doesn't open you'll pull a super SEAL move and save my life," he joked. Then after a heavy pause he added, "And maybe... Maybe I'm tired of doing this alone and would rather have someone who understands what I'm thinking when I do it... I'm not suicidal Steve. I have Grace. I have a surprisingly amazing job but once a year I need to remind myself this ain't a Hollywood movie. That one day, all my hopes and expectations and demands will be denied because I'm just like all those others who died... Guts, bone and very easily burned by Hawaiian sun, skin."
"You need to live for all those who died... For all those who can't," Steve said with complete understanding. And Danny knew the man got what he was saying. He knew by the simple fact that Steve had more than his fair share of crappy deals in life.
It was exactly the reason Danny had brought his walking health hazard of a partner along for this ride.
When Steve's weathered face creased into a wide smile, Danny knew he'd made the right choice.
"So what kind of jump are we doing?" He asked.
"HALO," Danny replied. "Me tandem with a professional and you on your own."
"You've got balls Danno. HALO's no pleasure cruise even if this is a tourist company," Steve smirked. "I could be your tandem."
"No, you can be the guy who saves my ass when the idiot instructor fails to save it for me," Danny smiled happily. A flying plan B was always a good thing.
The rest of prep and instruction went along smoothly and gave Danny the last bit of confidence he needed to perform the insane jump.
They had been in the air for about a half hour and were five minutes before the jump when Danny's instructor and tandem partner turned to Steve and snapped his fingers before engaging their helmet mics.
"Steve Holy Sh** McGarrett! I knew I recognized you! I bugged out of SEAL team nine because I messed up my knee just as you came on! You crazy bastard what are you doing on a pleasure cruise like this?!"
Danny paled as he listened to the conversation. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. His partner, however, suddenly had his eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store.
"Brian Kill Zone Saunders... I heard you got yourself killed in Afghanistan" Steve chuckled.
"You wish pretty boy," Brian replied. "All I care about now is jumping fast and flying free."
"You always were a hippy, Kill Zone," Steve snorted.
"So not an appropriate nickname right now," Danny growled out to both men.
"Oh don't worry Mr. Williams… sorry, Detective… I got that nickname because I'm invincible," Brian said simply. Blinking incredulously for a few seconds, Danny dumbly replied with;
"He's invincible Danno," Steve said with a devilish grin. "Six tours in various countries, enough shrapnel to build a plane, guts of a suicidal maniac and this man here… never gotten anything more than three days in hospital." Danny looked at the older man and raised an eyebrow. A confident, determined yet peaceful gaze stared back at him.
It was at that moment Danny knew he was looking into the face of his partner in ten years. A person who'd seen all kinds of hell, lost good souls along the way but managed to overcome for one reason or another. For whatever reason, the detective couldn't help but ease himself to the idea of jumping from a plane attached to a man whose nickname was "Kill Zone."
"I survive this and you have to explain why you just called him "Holy Sh**" Mcgarrett instead of Smooth Dog, like the others do," Danny bartered with the man. Steve's eyes went wide and his smile fell away while Brian simply snorted back a laugh.
"Sure thing," he said as he attached himself to the back of Danny's harness.
"Don't you dare," Steve growled. Brian just kept on laughing as he shuffled himself and Danny closer to the jump door ready for action. "Kill Zone don't you f***ing dare tell him that story!" Steve raged.
A second later, the red warning light went green and Brian tapped Danny on the shoulder giving the thumbs up before pausing just long enough to shout;
"His first jump, he screamed like a girl and when he landed, "holy sh**" was pretty much all he could say for the next three hours of debrief!"
Danny didn't know what had him feeling so good for the rest of the day; the short story that had him laughing all the way to the ground or the extreme exhilaration of the jump he'd made and more importantly survived.
That afternoon as Steve and Danny sat on the Navy SEALs lanai with beers in hand and waiting for Chin and Kono to show up for a good old fashion barbeque, Danny sighed and closed his eyes.
"Hell of a day," he smiled.
"Tell anyone about that story and you're a dead man Williams," Steve snarled playfully.
"Would I do that to you?" Danny said opening his eyes again. "After all we've been through?" Little did Steve know, Danny had broadcast the story to both their Five-0 teammates minutes after touching down on the ground hours ago.
As far as he knew, Kono had already found a printed t-shirt that read "Holy Sh**" on it and Chin, that beautiful man, had somehow managed to find declassified footage of Steve's first jump. The young terrified man flailing all the way.
Needless to say, Five-0 was going to be having a good night filled with laughter, friendship and most importantly bonding. A bond that reassured each of them, reassured Danny he had support and though, god forbid, he may lose one of them down the line, it was moments like this that would forever keep them living in his memory.
Or maybe, keep him living in theirs.
"To those lost," Steve said raising his beer to Danny's. The Jersey native however shook his head and raised his beer just a bit higher than Steve's.
"To those who lived," he replied. "So that one day, god willing, someone can and will do the same for us." Steve's face curled up into a content smile and he nodded his appreciation.
"Cheers," he agreed.
After a few sips of beer and a long thought filled pause, Steve sighed and heavily asked;
"Kono and Chin already know that I screamed like a girl at a Justin Bieber concert during my first jump, don't they?" Danny barked out a laugh that only his completely frustrated Five-0 partner could inspire.
"Oh god yes," he replied without remorse.
"You three are cleaning the office for a month," Steve snarled. Though even he couldn't hide his small smirk as a vehicle was heard pulling into the driveway; With it were the cousin's lively voices wafting into their ears showing promise of a good night and a solid addition to a lifetime of good memories.
"Happy Birthday Danno," Steve said suddenly out of the blue.
A wave of shock rippled through Danny as he swung his head toward his partner with an undoubtedly amazed look on his face. He wasn't a fan of birthdays, not since he'd suffered through years of no one there, other than the bartender down the road, to celebrate with him.
"How did you…?"
"I learned from one of the best detective's on the job brah," Steve replied clearly proud of himself. "And a pig tailed sweet little girl may have been my accomplice." Bringing a hand to his heart, Danny mocked being hurt by the news.
"You've turned my sweet Grace into a pineapple eating ninja too?" he asked. Steve laughed as Chin and Kono came around the house with more beer, bags of food in hand and smiles on their faces.
"Can't let you have all the fun Daniel," Steve chuckled.
"Steve!" Kono exclaimed before Danny could reply. She reached into her beach bag, pulling out the printed t-shirt she had texted Danny about earlier. "I've got a present for you!" she grinned presenting the new item.
Steve took one look at the shirt, blinked, then burst out laughing dragging the team down with him seconds later.
Late that night, or early the next morning depending on who was checking, Danny tucked himself into bed smiling at a day well spent.
Yet before his eyes closed for good, he looked at the hand-made, sparkle ridden pink picture frame on his bedside table and smiled even wider.
Inside was the first picture he'd ever allowed to be taken between his coworkers and little girl. Steve, Chin, Kono and even Kamekona all silently grinned back at him, Grace front and center with the biggest grin of them all.
"Happy birthday," Danny chuckled sleepily to himself then added, "For those who lived." He shook his head with a content sigh before rolling over and wondering what surprises, challenges but most importantly, good times the next year would bring.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOUR BIRTHDAY! Lol... And to all those we'd still like to celebrate with but are no longer with us.
Cheers and hope you all liked this one shot enough to read and review please!

Making YouTube videos…yet another thing Texas A&M is better at than Arkansas! This lady brings the fire for all 2:26 seconds of this video in what is a truly heartwarming serenade to Heisman hopeful Johnny Manziel. Alright, that might not be the most accurate assessment of this video, but are we wrong in calling this lady a cougar? Sure she comes off as creepy throughout the song, but would you kick this Aggie MILF out of bed?
By the looks of YouTube commenters we aren't alone. Here is a quick sample of the best comments on the video:
I'd hit it … two beers. Has to be a microbrew though… Dogfish Head preferably. 9%.
Are you kidding me? I'd destroy that completely sober! I'd just need a gag so she can't talk.
Kind of a… Milf?
Damn it, she's wearing a ring. *Puts head down and walks away*
So what do you think? MILF, or does the fact that she says she feels a "tingle when the football flies" scare you off?

Divided they stood, divided they fell: Stephen Castle on the dismal Tory showing in the elections
Even at the opening of the Channel link, protocol demanded a conversation with - of all people - Baroness Thatcher. For Mr Major, last week brought little sign of light at the end of the tunnel.
In the 1990 local elections, Lady Thatcher was let off the hook by a complacent Labour Party machine which allowed the Tories to trumpet victories in Westminster and Wandsworth, transforming the Sun's early edition headline 'It's Blue Murder for Maggie' into 'Kinnock Poll Axed' by the end of the print run.
This year there was no mercy; Walworth Road fed fresh figures through to its spokesman, Jack Straw, who announced Tory defeats on TV ahead of the broadcasters. The Conservatives' most loyal supporter, the Daily Express, went where once the Sun had havered; 'Blue Murder' its headline thundered.
The Conservatives should not have been surprised by their electoral rebuff. As Sir Norman Fowler, the party chairman, conceded last Friday, the message that 'Conservative Councils Cost You Less' was not easy to sell to the electorate when the Government was in the process of levying VAT on fuel and increasing direct taxes.
Meanwhile, the Government was demonstrating a growing resemblance to the Labour Party of the early Eighties. 'It is,' said an ex-minister, 'a complete re-run of their disintegration. We will be heading for special conferences at Wembley next.'
Even before Thursday's hammer blow many Tories were on the verge of despair. One senior Tory described the mood as 'beyond the bounds of rational analysis', adding: 'I sense panic in the air and I don't think No 10 realises how big that panic is going to be.' Another commented: 'From D- Day Spam fritters to the resurrection of Arthur Scargill - we've done it all.' According to a third, there was 'a growing sense of internal collapse, of a disappearance of discipline and authority in the party and its ability to stick to a given path.' Last week brought three visible signs of disintegration within two days. First, Gillian Shephard, the Minister of Agriculture, publicly admitted that Cabinet colleagues were canvassing for the leadership, and implied that a fifth of Tory MPs no longer supported the Prime Minister. The intervention may have been intended to help the party leader, but then so was the disastrous statement in the 1983 General Election campaign by Jim Mortimer, then general secretary of the Labour Party, that Michael Foot remained his party's leader.
Then there was David Evans, a member of the executive of the 1922 committee of backbench Conservative MPs, who called for the sacking of the party chairman and two other colleagues. 'David,' said one colleague, 'did not mean to be disloyal. He was unable to help himself.'
Mr Evans had, in fact, been quoted as saying exactly the same thing two weeks earlier in this newspaper. He had repeated it publicly to Tory MPs and at a Westminster lunch for businessmen. Yet, despite these warnings no one had either the nous or the clout to silence him.
Thirdly - and most seriously for Mr Major - came the almost open defiance by Michael Portillo, Chief Secretary to the Treasury and darling of the Eurosceptics, of the Cabinet's line on a single European currency. After complaints from Number 10, Mr Portillo clarified his position on the issue but declined to retract.
The fact that Mr Portillo opposes monetary union may surprise few and his comments may, as he later claimed, have been 'telescoped', but they overstepped Cabinet collective responsibility. Why had the minister chosen that particularly moment to stake out his position on an issue which does not confront the Government for years?
At Westminster the conclusion was near-unanimous. One centre-left Tory said: 'He has started his leadership campaign. Portillo should be taken out and shot.'
Mr Portillo's comments seemed designed both to remind the Eurosceptics of his political presence, and to address criticism from the hard- right of the party that Eurosceptic ministers have sold out.
The Chief Secretary pleased some soulmates who want him to raise his profile, to stand in any forthcoming leadership contest and (by getting a sizeable vote) protect the interests of the right in a Heseltine administration. But this strategy involves risks. As one right-winger put it: 'I think there would be outrage if the right thought he was flirting with a pact with Heseltine. That is precisely the sort of shoddy deal against which the whole political climate is reacting.' A right-wing minister added: 'There is a direct correlation between stupidity and those who adhere to the Heseltine/Portillo dream ticket'.
Two other leading cabinet Eurosceptics, John Redwood, Secretary of State for Wales, and Peter Lilley, Secretary of State for Social Security, were angry that Mr Portillo broke ranks, apparently for his own ends. Mr Lilley was said to be particularly annoyed by Mr Portillo's attempt to go further than his Eurosceptic cabinet colleagues and breach an unspoken deal.
The truth is that the Eurosceptics are deeply split between those who want to keep Mr Major - for fear of a Heseltine or Clarke premiership - and those who believe the Prime Minister to be doomed. MPs arguing against a challenge include staunch Maastricht rebels such as Sir Teddy Taylor, MP for Southend East.
These MPs - who have no credible candidate - want to keep Mr Major because he will not take on the right, unlike his potential successors. Thus, in a peverse way, Mr Major's political weakness is his one remaining strength.
The declaration by John Carlisle, MP for Luton North, that he is ready to stand against Mr Major, greatly increased the chances of a contest, which - should enough MPs vote against him or abstain - would fatally wound Mr Major.
But it is not clear that the necessary 34 Conservative MPs will write to the chairman of the 1922 committee, Sir Marcus Fox, to request a leadership contest, particularly since MPs fear that their identities might be leaked. In the words of one minister: 'You need 34 brave people. I doubt if you will find that number of brave MPs in Parliament.'
Meanwhile, prospects for the Conservatives look gloomy. Thursday's disaster will inevitably have a knock-on effect on the European elections. Many workers who are expected to campaign for Mr Major are demoralised, particularly those who lost their council seats.
While in last week's contest they were at least defending their own skins, or those of friends, now they will - as one put it - be canvassing on behalf of 'fat cats from Brussels'. Drawn from a shrinking membership, and increasingly harder core activists, more party workers are anti-European anyway.
At the national level, Europe is the issue over which the party is most split. One minister said: 'The sniping goes down very badly on the doorstep. Our activists are seething and feel that the rug has been pulled from under their feet.'
Another catastrophe in June, with the Liberal Democrats fighting more of their favoured southern territory, will increase the panic by yet another notch. 'The fear of a classic squeeze to Labour in the North and to the Liberal Democrats in the South cannot be ignored,' he added.
Although some loyalists argue that Mr Major could stay on however bad the damage, others insist that to drop below 10 Euro-seats would instil among MPs visions of a Canadian-style electoral wipe-out. And in those circumstances, Mr Major would go voluntarily.
Can a second disaster be averted? Last Thursday the Cabinet rallied around Mr Major, backing his Euro-manifesto unanimously. But yesterday ex- prime minister Sir Edward Heath, speaking to the European Movement, pointed up the differences.
One minister wryly commented that 'even when Ted is trying to be helpful, he's unhelpful' but another Conservative observed: 'The old divisions have been replaced by this new simple polarity: Europe - and Europe.' That, and the need to keep the right on board, is at the root of Mr Major's personal difficulties. The customary calls for the Prime Minister to save himself by shuffling his Cabinet, choosing a distinctive message and sticking to it look doomed. As one of his more senior MPs put it: 'There is always a risk with the Prime Minister that he is so obsessed with party unity that he fails to understand one thing: that the way to keep the party united is by leading it.'

Palladium led declines for metals, after the head of the European Central Bank expressed concern over the rise in the euro. That prompted the currency to weaken and the dollar to rally.
The price of Palladium for March delivery slumped $14.35, or 1.9 percent, to $750.45 an ounce, its biggest decline in a month.
ECB president Mario Draghi pledged Thursday to keep a close eye on the impact that the strength of the euro will have on the region's economy. A strong euro hurts the export prospects of the 17 countries in the common currency zone by making its exports more expensive.
"Today it was all about the ECB, and the markets right now are simply digesting the comments from Mario Draghi," said Matt Zeman a trader at Kingsview Financial.
Commodities are typically traded in dollars, so when the currency strengthens, traders demand fewer dollars. That pushes down commodity prices. The dollar index, a broad measure of the strength of the U.S. currency, rose 0.6 percent Thursday, its biggest advance in a month.
Gold, silver, copper and platinum also fell.
April gold fell $7.50, or 0.4 percent, to $1,671 an ounce. Silver for March delivery dropped 47.40 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $31.403 an ounce. Platinum for April delivery fell $14.20, or 0.8 percent, $1,722.30.

IBM, users work to attract young mainframers
IBM and the Share user group will help IT students get mainframe jobs
IDG News Service - IBM and the independent user group Share are teaming up to provide support for young people interested in mainframe computing, the organizations announced today. The initiative and its associated community is being dubbed "zNextGen," a reference to IBM's zSeries mainframe brand.
IBM and Share pledged to provide IT students with contacts and resources to help them find jobs in mainframe computing soon after graduation, according to a joint statement. The organizations will also support young people already embarked on big-iron careers with help in job networking.
Share President Robert Rosen recalled hearing from a recent graduate who had just become a mainframe systems trainee. "All his friends had said he was crazy to go to work for a company developing on mainframes," Rosen said in a recent interview. "But the trainee said, No. 1, he had a job and many of his friends didn't, and two, he said he could see how his career was laid out."
The potential market for young people with mainframe expertise is expanding as big-iron specialists head for retirement in the U.S. and Western Europe (see "Shortage of mainframe skills may give IT execs gray hairs"), opening up vacancies for new mainframe professionals. Elsewhere in the world, notably in China and Eastern Europe, companies are investing in more mainframes as they increase their computing power, and they are looking for people to run the systems.
Share will offer access to its global membership, including professionals working at Fortune 500 companies and in academia and the public sector. The intention is for both Share and IBM to offer mentoring and internships to those signing up to join zNextGen, the statement said.
ZNextGeners will also have a special section on a recently established mainframe community Web log, where they can share information and connect with their peers. Individuals already blogging on the main area of the site include IBM staffers; John Patrick, president of Attitude LLC and former vice president of Internet technology at IBM; Peter Armstrong, corporate strategist at BMC Software Inc.; and James Governor, RedMonk LLC principal analyst and co-founder.
IBM has been hard at work trying to raise the mainframe's profile among educational institutions, teachers and students with its Academic Initiative Program for the Mainframe for the past couple of years. To date, IBM has established courses in zSeries mainframes in 150 universities around the world, with the ultimate aim of turning out 20,000 mainframe-literate IT professionals within the next five years. About a quarter of IBM's revenue comes from its mainframe business, if sales of associated software and storageare factored in, according to industry analysts.
The company is also planning to kick off a mainframe contest next month with prizes for students in the U.S. and Canada. The contestants will all be given accounts on a z/OS hub and asked to complete a series of challenges. No previous knowledge of mainframes is necessary to enter the contest, according to the statement.

"Let's be careful about the concept of social evolution," said the Rev. Leonard Klein, a Roman Catholic priest speaking on behalf of the bishop of the Diocese of Wilmington, which serves more than 200,000 Catholics in Delaware and Maryland's Eastern Shore.
"When you remove male and female from the definition of marriage, all bets are off," added Klein, who urged lawmakers to show an "appropriate humility" for thousands of years of human experience.
Under the bill, no new civil unions will be performed in Delaware after July 1, and existing civil unions will be converted to marriages over the next year. The legislation also states that same-sex unions established in other states will be treated the same as marriages under Delaware law.
The bill does not force clerics to perform same-sex marriages that conflict with their religious beliefs. But under an existing Delaware law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, business owners who refuse to provide marriage-related services to same-sex couples for reasons of conscience could be subject to discrimination claims.
Delaware joins neighboring Maryland and the nearby District of Columbia as jurisdictions that have approved gay marriage. Last week, Rhode Island became the 10th state to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed, with independent Gov. Lincoln Chafee signing the bill an hour after its final passage.
Minnesota appeared poised to legalize gay marriage after the Democratic speaker of the state House said Tuesday that a gay marriage bill endorsed by the governor and likely to pass in the state Senate also now has enough backing in his chamber. The House will vote on the measure Thursday, and if it passes, the Democratic-led Senate could vote on it as soon as Saturday.

Recycling Schools
A lot of Michigan's big cities are shrinking. People have left the state to find work. Others have moved their families to the suburbs. As Jennifer Guerra reports... that has left a lot of urban school districts with empty school buildings. But instead of tearing the buildings down, some districts want to recycle them.

Improved compressions of cube-connected cycles networks
UNSPECIFIED. (1998) Improved compressions of cube-connected cycles networks. IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS, 9 (8). pp. 803-812. ISSN 1045-9219
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
We present a new technique for the embedding of large cube-connected cycles networks (CCC) into smaller ones, a problem that arises when algorithms designed for an architecture of an ideal size are to be executed on an existing architecture of a fixed size. Using the new embedding strategy, we show that the CCC of dimension I can be embedded into the CCC of dimension k with dilation 1 and optimum load for any k, I is an element of N, k greater than or equal to 8, such 5/3 + c(k) < 1/k less than or equal to 2, c(k) = 4k+3/3.2(2/3k), thus improving known results. Our embedding technique also leads to improved dilation-1 embeddings in the case 3/2 < 1/k less than or equal to 5/3 + c(k).
