"A choice isn't something someone gives you, it's something you make for yourself." Busou Renkin (literally Arms Alchemy) follows Hero and Ordinary High-School Student Kazuki Muto, who is killed one night trying to protect a mysterious girl from a monster. However, to his surprise, he wakes up the next day, seemingly good as new. Turns out it wasn't a dream either when the girl, Tokiko Tsumura, shows up again, informing him that she felt responsible for his death and resurrected him with the power of Alchemy. From here on Kazuki discovers his own powers and, together with Tokiko, journeys into the world of Alchemists and their individual Renkin as they fight the monsters known as Homunculi. No, not the Fullmetal Alchemist kind, though there is definite overlap between the series theme-wise.A manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki, the creator of Rurouni Kenshin, it was later adapted into an anime and a light novel. The series is in many ways a parody of the shonen genre and hence often has tongue planted firmly in cheek. And when it's not being an affectionate parody, it's deconstructing various shonen tropes, particularly the Next Tier Power-Up.— Papillon Provides examples of:

4:15 P.M. MDT: The crowd boos, looking for a pass-interference penalty against Jaguars cornerback Brian Williams after an incompletion for Brandon Brarshall.
4:16 P.M. MDT: One play later, on third-and-4 from the JAX 35, Jay Cutler finds Brandon Stokley … who makes the catch in spite of the pass-interference penalty that was called. Denver now at the Jaguars 19.
4:18 P.M. MDT: Broncos with their first rushing first down of the game, via a Travis Henry run …
4:19 P.M. MDT: Broncos with their first touchdown of the second half, as Henry takes a toss pitch and sprints into the end zone for a 6-yard scoring run. Denver trails 20-14 with 12:41 remaining.
4:22 P.M. MDT: Outstanding kickoff coverage for the Broncos, but Mike Bell gets shook up at the end of Jacksonville's 20-yard return … he walks off the field under his own power … Jaguars will start at their 17, and the crowd is finally back into it.
4:24 P.M. MDT: D.J. Williams tackles Maurice Jones-Drew up the middle … now second-and-7 for the Jags at the 20. The table on which I type is shaking.
4:25 P.M. MDT: Now … no more shaking. David Garrard finds Marcedes Lewis for 18 yards, moving the Jaguars to their 38 with 11:21 to play.
4:26 P.M. MDT: Second-and-9 for the Jaguars forthcoming at their 39 … Crowd back on its feet … waiting to feel the table shake … it's loud, but no shaking … there it is, but not as much as before … and the crowd is silenced again by a 23-yard Garrard-to-Greg Estantdia connection just past Ian Gold.
4:28 P.M. MDT: Jaguars now at the Denver 26 … and a Jones-Drew run takes them to the 24. Less than nine minutes left now.
4:29 P.M. MDT: Good open-field tackle by Nick Ferguson on George Wrightster limits the Jaguars to a 5-yard-gain; now it's third-and-4 at the Denver 20. Crowd on its feet again … Garrard under center after being in the 'gun … he keeps it on the draw for 19 yards to the 1-yard-line. Clock will dip under seven minutes before the next play.
4:30 P.M. MDT: Jones-Drew knocked back at the goal line on first down from the 1 … Garrard pressured and floats a pass into the end zone on second-and-goal, but Karl Paymah is called for pass interference after making contact with Wrightster.
4:31 P.M. MDT: The Broncos need a miracle …
4:32 P.M. MDT: … and they got it … a loose football upon which Curome Cox falls. Nick Ferguson forced the fumble.
4:34 P.M. MDT: 6:11 left, and a long way to go … 96 yards with no timeouts, and a touchdown needed.
4:35 P.M. MDT: Now 97 yards to go after Cutler is sacked by Reggie Hayward.
4:35 P.M. MDT: Cutler finds Javon Walker for six yards, but the Broncos still have fourth-and-6 at their 9 … punt team not taking the field.
4:36 P.M. MDT: Incomplete … Cutler found Graham at the 30-yard-line, but he couldn't quite bring it in … Graham then spikes the football in frustration; that penalty will be assessed as half-the-distance for the Jaguars, giving them the football at the Denver 4.
4:38 P.M. MDT: Jaguars now inches from the goal line after Jones-Drew nearly scores.
4:39 P.M. MDT: A delay-of-game and an end-around later, the Jaguars are back near the goal line, about a yard and a half away. The clock bleeds precious seconds; it's now down below three minutes.
4:40 P.M. MDT: Garrard keeps it and is stopped by Dre' Bly and a host of Broncos at the 1-yard-line. The Jaguars will let the clock sill to about the 2:10 mark before kicking a 19-yard field goal.
4:43 P.M. MDT: The field-goal attempt is from 18 yards … and it's good. Denver trails by two scores, at 23-14.
4:47 P.M. MDT: Many fans streaming for the exits as the Broncos attempt to mount a late-game drive … Denver gets to its 45 with 1:48 left after Selvin Young goes 20 yards.
4:50 P.M. MDT: Cutler intercepted by Sammy Knight … and with no timeouts left, that's game.

Conn. shooting leads to review of GR school security
It was a conversation taking place in every board of education and police department across the United States in the days following the shooting in Newtown, Conn.:
How do we make our schools safer?
Glen Ridge was no exception.
Much of Monday night's board of education meeting at Forest Avenue School was dedicated to a discussion of Friday's tragedy, and what Glen Ridge would have to do to make sure its schools were safe.
"You know, as superintendent, it's my job to make sure that everybody in the school - students, staff and visitors - is safe," Superintendent John Mucciolo said.
There were two major issues, he said: one was how to discuss the tragedy with children in an age-appropriate way, and the other was how to improve security at each of the schools.
Since news broke of the shootings, Mucciolo said that he had been in discussions with the Glen Ridge Police Department and with the school administrators to discuss the schools' current security measures, and to figure out what changes need to be made.
The police department's crime prevention bureau is conducting a security survey at each of the school buildings.
From there, Mucciolo said, the board may consider hiring an independent security consultant as well - a move that had been suggested by some of the parents in the audience.
The teachers in Newtown, he said, had done everything that they were trained to do, and much more. "No matter what you do, there is always a chance that someone will get through," Mucciolo said. "However, we have to do as much as we can do."

The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit found [opinion, PDF] that the district court did not abuse its discretion in conducting a competency hearing and finding Sean Carter incompetent. However, the Sixth Circuit did find that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing Carter's petition and prospectively tolling the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act statute of limitations indefinitely.

Amen Corner was a Welsh R&B-tinged pop band of the '60s featuring singer Andy Fairweather Low, organist Blue Weaver, guitarist Neil Jones, bassist Clive Taylor, saxophonists Allen Jones and Mike Smith, and drummer Dennis Bryon. They scored the first of their six British chart hits with "Gin House" in the summer of 1967. "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice" went to number one in early 1969. By then, Fairweather Low had become a teenage heartthrob and the band had switched management and record companies, but they split up by the end of the year. ~ William Ruhlmann

Spring and summer tournament season is upon B.C. — and in order to make the most of game weekends, it's important to be well-prepared for any overnight trips.
"There's so much to think about, really," said Lower Island Soccer Association executive director Karen Hood-Deshon, who's an expert in team travel since her district is located on Vancouver Island.
Her league just finished two weeks of travel that required a number of ferry and bus trips — and in order for it all to go off without a hitch, it comes down to organization.
"An itinerary is really important for the team," she said. "Typically when you see a well-organized team go away you see everything organized from your ferry time, to this two hours is when you have time to visit the local sites, to here's where the team will be having a meal."
Her first tip is to catch the first morning ferry to avoid extra hotel costs. And when getting off the ferry, the team needs to beat the rush.
"We're always telling managers ... you want to be the first in line to get off the ferry," she said. "You walk off and walk straight onto your bus and your bus gets out in front of all the traffic."
"That can save you 15, 20 minutes which then gets you to your destination with enough time to warm up ... it's the smallest thing that can make the biggest difference."
And since the players need to be in top form, Hood-Deshon always suggests searching for healthy options when booking hotels, like finding suites with a kitchenette or a meeting for homemade team breakfasts and lunches.
"When you're prepping for a whole weekend tournament, now you're thinking about what you're putting into your body — after games as well as before games," she said.
But when heading out for team dinners, it's best to research and book well in advance.
"If you come or go to a tournament that has 60 other teams at it, finding a spot for dinner at 6 p.m. when every team wants to eat could be very difficult if you haven't made prior arrangements," Hood-Deshon said.
And when it comes to packing for the trip, her main suggestion is to be prepared for the ever-changing weather.
"B.C.'s quite an interesting province — micro-climates all over the place," she said. "You could have spring in the morning, summer in the afternoon, winter in the evening."
So she suggests clothing and equipment "for all four seasons."
As for preparing the team for the tournament itself, Lower Island Soccer Association technical director, Andrew Latham said it all comes down to the schedule.
"If you're starting to maybe play four games in two days or five in three — you start to see a lot of fatigue," he said.
So with a five-day tournament, there shouldn't be any heavy training the week before, instead Latham suggests focusing on technique, like ball striking and juggling, walk-throughs, tactical situations and small-sided games.
"Your body's just going to become more fatigued over the weekend," he said. "All you're trying to do is delay the fatigue as long as possible."
And once that first game is down, "it's really important to do a full and complete cool down," he said.
"A good 20 minutes of deactivating all the muscles, flushing all the lactates out of your body."

Nike |
60 Product(s) Found |
Nike is the biggest sportswear company in the world. They have the most recognized branded logo with the Nike swoosh. Every kid has a pair of Nike shoes and with sub brands like Jordan, they are the most sought after shoes on the market. Surely to have achieved so much the company must have been around for years? Nope, Nike footwear only started in 1964 and was originally called 'Blue Ribbon Sports'. Philip Knight and Bill Bowerman set up the company and the official name change did not happen until 1978.
When 1980 arrived Nike had managed to get itself a 50% share of the athletic shoe market with very little advertising. The most recognized piece of Nike Advertising is the 'Just Do It' slogan and this is now regarded as being one of the top 5 advertising slogans ever. It is still used to this day on t-shirts and clothing.
The Nike HQ is in Beaverton, Oregon. This will answer a few questions as to why the word 'Oregon' appears on pieces of Nike clothing.The Jordan brand was one of the biggest things to come out of the 80's. Michael Jordan was, and still is, the most famous basketball player of all time. Nike persuaded him to bring out a range of footwear sporting the Nike branding. Later on it became just the Jordan brand but to this day Nike still re-issues the boots and every re-issue is met with a sell out, queues out the door and even more hype for the brand.
Their dominance in the marketplaces is complete. If you skateboard then the Nike SB 'skate boarding' shoe is the Holy Grail. They have done colabs with some of the best in the game such as Huf, Undefeated, NERD and the infamous Diamond Supply Co Tiffany shoe. All of these collaborations have ensured that the legacy of Nike is felt long after the shoes have been made.
Love extreme sports? Yes they have a shoe for that too. It's the Nike 6.0, made with the enthusiast in mind meaning heavier duty materials, more rugged construction and the ability to live up to the rigors that extreme sports can throw you. With this rugged construction comes a whole new audience who want a good looking shoe that can stand up to the stresses of every day wear. Now that's why Nike is the biggest footwear brand in the world.

State Legislation to Boost Renewable Energy Paying off for Massachusetts
Renewable energy in the commonwealth has skyrocketed since 2007. And in 2011, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy declared Massachusetts the most energy-efficient state in the country. California had held the honor since 2006.
SEIA Statement on Proposed "No More Solyndras" Act
WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee and the Energy and Power Subcommittee held a legislative hearing on the discussion draft of the No More Solyndras Act. Rhone Resch, President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA®), issued the following statement on the discussion draft:
California Hits Solar Power Milestone
1.255 GW of solar power is now generated from more than 122,000 rooftops across California. The migration to solar by low- and middle-income homeowners is the main reason behind the popularity of solar power in the Golden State. The data is revealed in the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) 2012 California Solar Initiative (CSI) Annual Program Assessment, which was issued a few days ago.

SEIA's Kimbis Discusses Industry's Growth, Prospects for Trade Case Decision
With the price of solar panels falling more than 50 percent last year, what is the impact on the U.S. solar industry as it battles to compete with China?
Installations of Solar Energy Systems Double
When it comes to solar power, more and more Americans are seeing the light.
U.S. Solar Power Growth Jumps to New Record
The U.S. solar industry installed a record number of panels in 2011, more than double 2010, and is likely to see strong growth again this year, according to a new report.
New Solar Panels Blossomed Despite a Tough Year for the Industry
Last year seemed like a dark one for the solar industry: stiff competition from China drove American manufacturers to layoffs and even bankruptcy, while the low price of natural gas and the loss of a critical government subsidy weakened incentives for new solar developments. And then there was the long shadow of Solyndra, whose bankruptcy after receiving federal loans cast a pall over other green-energy endeavors.
Colorado Solar Installations Jump in 2011
Colorado remained fifth in the nation for photovoltaic installations, as the number of megawatts installed jumped 69 percent to 91 megawatts in 2011 compared with 2010, according to a study released today.

Is nothing sacred anymore? In their own topsy-turvy way, Death itself is the latest sacred cow to be skewered by the rapier pen of Gilbert and Sullivan. All of this is tastily tempura'd and tied up in a big pink obi by three little Japanese maids from school. We all benefit from a little meiosis every now and then - a drastic understatement of the situation - and what better way to stick it to mortality than by whistling "Tit-willow, tit-willow, tit-willow?" Come on, we all have our own little lists of folks who won't be missed!
W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan's The Mikado premiered in London in 1885, and since then has become not just the pair's most popular collaboration, but the only work to compete internationally with Die Fledermaus and The Merry Widow as the most popular work in the entire operetta repertoire. Famous melodies from The Mikado include "Tit-Willow", "A Wandering Minstrel", and "Three Little Maids from School". Edmonton Opera presented The Mikado previously in 1977, 1991 and 2003.
Canadian Director Robert Herriot returns to Edmonton Opera to bring his unique vision and interpretation of The Mikado to our 2011/12 season. Robert began his career in opera on the stage, singing such roles as Tom Rakewell in The Rake's Progress and Tamino in The Magic Flute. We are elated to have Robert return for another season with his vibrant new take on everyone's favourite Gilbert and Sullivan work.
To compliment Robert Herriot's vision of Mikado, Edmonton's own Deanna Finnman designed and built custom-made costumes, specifically for this cast and production. "I have always had an interest in Japanese fashion and street culture, so when we began talking about a modern Mikado that is where I began to draw inspiration from."
We are thrilled to have John Avey (The Mikado) join us for the leading role, performing with soprano Andriana Chuchman (Yum-Yum), and baritone Scott Scully (Nanki-Poo). Erin Lawson (Pitti-Sing) makes her Edmonton Opera debut. To complete the cast, we welcome Curtis Olds (Ko-Ko), Sonya Goss (Katisha), Thomas Goerz (Pooh-Bah), Andrew MacDonald-Smith (Pish-Tush), Dionne Sellinger (Peep-Bo), all of whom join Conductor Peter Dala and Director Robert Herriot for the 2011/2012 mid-season production. The Edmonton Opera Chorus and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra lend their talents to Gilbert and Sullivan's best-loved opera.

Update at 7:59 a.m. PST: A RealNetworks representative quashes a rumor about a RealNetworks-MTV joint venture.
The long-expected layoffs at Viacom, parent company of MTV Networks, have finally taken place.
According to an internal memo (first leaked to gossip blog Gawker), 850 positions have been cut. That amounts to 7 percent of the company's workforce.
"Our advantages and best efforts can't completely protect Viacom from the very serious and broad-based challenges of this economic recession," CEO Philippe Dauman wrote in the e-mail. "Viacom's long-term health will depend on our shared commitment to … Read more
The Viacom-owned cable network took Jokes.com, a property it acquired in 2002, and relaunched it Wednesday as a hub for its stand-up comedy archives. Sort of like a Hulu for stand-up comedy, it's debuting with over 5,000 video clips (embeddable and shareable, naturally) and 12,000 text-based jokes that are searchable by topic ("George W. Bush" or "holidays") and by comedian. A "Comedians A-Z" database provides information on different stand-up comics and … Read more
A new kind of video advertising is coming to MySpace.
The company has partnered with a video advertising company, Auditude, and Viacom's MTV Networks division, to bring Auditude's video ads to MTV content on the News Corp.-owned social network's MySpaceTV video hub.
Here's how Auditude works: it can detect MTV Networks content if either MTVN itself or a MySpace user uploads it, and then it implements both targeted ads and "attribution ads," which provide data about the source of the programming. (For example: an "attribution ad" for Comedy Central talk show … Read more
As their case grinds away in the courts, Google and Viacom continue to take shots at each other.
Google's announcement that it has paid $125 million to settle two copyright lawsuits brought by book publishers and authors is welcome news to Viacom and other copyright owners. Viacom, the behemoth entertainment company that filed a $1 billion copyright lawsuit against Google and YouTube last year, took the opportunity to compare the book publishers' case with its own.
"Copyright laws provide creators with the incentive to create the works consumers crave," Viacom said in a statement Tuesday. "It … Read more
It seems like the only complaint that the cranky digital-media press can come up with for MTVMusic.com, the legendary pop-culture brand's new music video hub, is, "Why wasn't this here years ago?"
Yeah, yeah, we know. There are licensing issues, especially for all those campy '80s videos that haven't seen the light of day in years. And launching a product prematurely could have led to bad press, as opposed to the "wow, we like this" response that MTV Music seems to have gotten thus far.
The issue, of course, is that most … Read more
Saturday Night Live helped make YouTube famous, and Tina Fey's recent appearances have led to big traffic spikes at NBC.com and Hulu.
So why shouldn't the long-running TV show have its own Web site?
Seth Meyers spilled the beans last week on an ESPN podcast that SNL was in talks to build a site that would feature clips of show sketches, including material never before aired.
A move like this makes sense. Viacom has built branded sites around its most popular shows, such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. The idea is to build Web … Read more
Over the weekend, Larry Lessig penned a cogent argument for a common-sense reading of copyright law. The problem, he writes, is that in our attempts to quash peer-to-peer file-sharing (stealing), we're wreaking a huge amount of collateral damage on those that remix content.
In other words, all piracy is not created equal. Some, like the remixers, should be protected by US Fair Use doctrine:
We are in the middle of something of a war here -- what some call "the copyright wars"; what the late Jack Valenti called his own "terrorist war," where the "… Read more
Once the global leader in youth culture, MTV's attempts to address the social-networking craze have seemed a little puzzling sometimes (the Twittering Moon Man?) But now we've seen another piece of the entertainment brand's puzzle: Backchannel, a play-while-you watch game that's one part chat room, one part Digg, and one part Mystery Science Theater with a Mean Girls twist.
It's debuting on Monday night with that evening's episode of wildly popular reality-soap The Hills.

Victor Rook, an indy filmmaker who was once wrongly accused by Viacom of copyright violations, is happy a judge has reminded media companies to think twice before calling someone a pirate.
In February 2007, Viacom demanded that YouTube remove Rook's documentary about a professional wrestler, accusing him of using some of the company's copyright material. The conglomerate was mistaken. None of the video or music Rook included in his film belonged to Viacom. Executives at the company apologized but the filmmaker still had to wait three weeks before the clip was reposted to YouTube, which he says hurt … Read more

Then and now: In 1946, See-See Rigney, RN, graduated from the Tacoma General Hospital School of Nursing. Today, she wears blue surgical scrubs instead of the historical white uniform and nurse's cap. She'll celebrate her 88th birthday on May 8.
Nurses Week: Celebrating skill and compassion through the decades
While National Nurses Week runs through Sunday, May 12 (Florence Nightingale's birthday), patients benefit every day from a long tradition of dedicated individuals who offer healing, comfort and expert care.
Established in 1895 as the first school of nursing in Washington state, the Tacoma General Hospital School of Nursing graduated more than 2,200 registered nurses from 1895 to 1980. That proud tradition is celebrated in a nursing museum inside the first floor of the Rainier Pavilion, off South J Street, at Tacoma General Hospital.
One nurse who will receive extra attention this week is See-See Rigney, RN, who will celebrate her 88th birthday on May 8. In 1946, See-See graduated from theTacoma General Hospital School of Nursing. More than 67 years later, she's still working at Tacoma General as a staff nurse in Surgical Services."She can still run circles around people half her age," Julie Christianson, RN, who has worked with See-See since 1980, told The News Tribune. "She's very inspirational for the rest of us because she's still working and she's still sharp."
These days, See-See wears blue surgical scrubs instead of the historical white uniform, nurse's cap and cape, which she keeps at home in a cedar chest.
"It gives me hope for myself," Debora Hozeny, RN, charge nurse for surgical services, told KING 5 TV. "I want to be like her. I aspire to be like her. To have energy. That 'get up and go.' "
While a nursing school no longer exists at Tacoma General, its alumnae generously sustain an Educational Endowment Fund. Income from the $1.42 million fund provides caregiver education grants, Legacy Scholarships to nursing students enrolled in their final year of nursing school, and scholarships for leadership development.
To see patients who have praised their nurses, visit the Facebook pages for Tacoma General Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, Allenmore Hospital, Mary Bridge Children's Hospital & Health Center, and MultiCare Auburn Medical Center.For more information about the Tacoma General Hospital School of Nursing Alumnae Association or to contribute to the Educational Endowment Fund, call 253-403-1264. With your support, alumnae will pass on their values of extraordinary patient care to future registered nurses, assuring the highest quality of care and caregivers.

I like both artists a lot, but Kendrick is out Cole's league right now after GKMC unless Cole steps it up with Born Sinner.

I think Cole tops Kendrick when Born Sinner comes out.

I bet J. Cole is annoyed that he and Kendrick came up at the same time, and while both sold a lot of records, no one considers his album anything special while everyone's praising Kendrick's as a modern classic. Maybe if every one of his songs wasn't whining about some girl.

Born sinner is gonna make everything else look like "meh"
I really don't care who is better as long as the music is good. Can't wait till Born Sinner drops and then the collab album.
"I can't wait until the little homie comes back. Because we know we have another level when that boy comes back," Noah said. "We're a hungry group. We're going for one thing and that's a championship. One day, I want to party in Chicago and I want to see what that feels like."
Meh. 99% of what I do in life is whine about girls...so I can't knock him for doing the same.

It's another week in the 2012 NFL season, which apparently means that another group of Packers need to get injured and miss practice time. There are a few new names on this Wednesday's report, all of whom are key players. The usual suspects appear, specifically Charles Woodson, Jordy Nelson, James Starks, and C.J. Wilson, but you'll see a number of other names that hopefully will improve by the end of the week.
Player | Injury | Wednesday Practice Status |
Aaron Rodgers | Ankle | Full |
Randall Cobb | Shoulder | Limited |
Charles Woodson | Collarbone | Limited |
Tom Crabtree | Illness/hamstring | Did not practice |
Alex Green | Concussion | Did not practice |
T.J. Lang | Concussion | Did not practice |
Jordy Nelson | Hamstring | Did not practice |
Jeff Saturday | Neck/shoulder | Did not practice |
James Starks | Knee | Did not practice |
Erik Walden | Ankle | Did not practice |
C.J. Wilson | Knee | Did not practice |
Jerel Worthy | Hamstring | Did not practice |
That's an awfully long list of names, especially when you realize that every one of them is either the starter at his position or a primary backup who sees substantial playing time. Thankfully, Rodgers' ankle injury doesn't appear to be problematic at all. Time will tell whether Cobb's shoulder injury, which originally flared up in Week 9 against Arizona, will actually make him miss any time.
As for Alex Green and T.J. Lang, Mike McCarthy said that their concussions "became evident at some point after the game or Monday. However, he's still hopeful that both will be able to play against Tennessee on Sunday. He also indicated that practices are being lightened to ease the burden on the players at this stage in the season.
We'll have more on the Packers' injuries as the week goes on.

Find out who has the best cell phone service.Consumer Reports ranks wireless providers
Don't you just hate dropped calls? Or being the only person in the room who can't get cell reception? Or better yet, dealing with your cell phone provider's customer service department...good times. Love 'em or hate 'em, cell phones have become a necessary part of life.
When it comes to choosing a cell phone carrier, how do we know who's best? Or even worst? Research giant Consumer Reports answered these questions and more in their annual ratings of wireless providers released last Thursday.
In a survey of 63,000 subscribers ranking the four major cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint & T-Mobile), Verizon came out on top, earning the highest scores on voice, data service quality and knowledgeable staff. The remaining three carriers didn't rank as high for voice and text service quality.

Easy Beaded Butterfly Pins
No more struggling with coiled pins! Larger sized "E" beads make beaded butterfly pins easier for kids.
Coiless Safety Pins - 2¼"
4mm Round Beads
"E" Beads
Safety Pins, Size 2
Long-Nose Pliers
Each row hanging down is a size 2 pin with "E" beads strung on it. Open these pins and string beads following the pattern chosen. Keep in mind that you are stringing the beads upside-down so you will start at the top with of each row and work down. Then turn the pin upside-down. Use pliers to squeeze the pin head closed permanently.
Note: Glass beads are are irregular in size. You will not be able to use the larger "E" beads in your package. It may look like the pins will not close but as long as the tip shows, you can usually just press the point into the pin head opening. The pin will bend out slightly to fit the beads snuggly into place.
Open up the coiless pin. You will need to bend it open to at least a 60 degree angle to get the beads on. Beginning with the beaded pin to the far right, thread the coil of that beaded pin onto the coiless pin, around the bend and over to the head of the pin. Slide on a 4mm bead. Then the next beaded pin, followed by another 4mm bead. Continue until you have threaded on all pins and finished off with a final 4mm bead. These beads help hold the pins in place and keep them from sliding around the coiless pin.

Tobaccos Low Country Pipe & Cigar - Santee
The Santee River has been central to South Carolina history since early colonial times. Particularly suited to rice cultivation, the swamps of the Santee River soon gave rise to stately manors. This sophisticated Virginia based aromatic captures the languid lifestyle that was synonymous with the region. Subtly fruity, with hints of apple, this would be the perfect accompaniment to a mint julep on a sultry summer night.

I was not impressed when I first tried this blend. I put the tin away and a month later picked it back up. I'm not sure if a month did the trick or I was having a bad day when I tried the first time. I now appreciate this blend. The freshness of the apple flavouring is a delight and makes the blend bright and lively. The virginias are creamy and round. I've been smoking this on the way to work in the morning and it is really growing on me. Finally an apple blend that is spot on!

I've been a confirmed English/Balkan smoker for over 40 years now and have added straight Virginias to my palate in the past decade. I have always gotten negative response to my English/balkan blends so have wanted to add a more group acceptable aroma blend which has a true tobacco taste and smoking properties similar to my English/balkan blends. I think I have found it with this blend made for smokingpipes.com's B&M store under the brand Low Country. It is wrongly labeled a Flake but is really more of a loose shag comprised of mostly bright Virginias and a good amount of what I percieve to be darker Virginias as well. It loads and packs well and needs just a char light and one relight to get it going. It has a very nice apple/spice scent along with the fine aroma of the Virginias in the tin. I've found that it's moisture content is perfect to just fill your pipe straight from the tin with no need to "dry" out. This apple aroma translates to a nice background taste along with the natural sweetness of the Virginias all the way thru the bowl. It also does the DGTs well with the aroma and light flavor still there when re-lit. This is not a strong, in your face sort of tobacco, rather something which is consistantly flavored and smokes nicely thru the whole bowl. It burns completly thru with a nice grey ash and NO wet goopy dottle at the bottom when it's finished. For an all tobacco tasting "aromatic" this has become my go-to blend and I will be ordering much more of it.

Nice apple aroma very full. Nice looking blend, blonds, woody, with a few black flacks and twists. Mild taste, stays lit very well. Just the right amount of moisture. Packs very well & smokes the same. Recommend to Va smokers that like some flavoring.

I was mislead by the cut description above in that what I had in my tin was not a flake that I typically smoke but rather a coarse cut of medium & light brown, yellow and black tobaccos. With that, it burned much faster than my usual smokes even though the tin mositure content was ideal. However, there was no bite and a cool, dry smoke was enjoyed. The apple aroma from the tin faintly carried thru to the smoke but was not overpowering as with some other aromatics. I'll stick with non- aromatics but this was a interesting change of pace.

I had high hopes for Santee when I added it to an order a few months back. On paper, it seemed a perfect choice—a light aromatic (which I like) that evolved as a result of the collaborative efforts of one of my favorite blenders and one of my favorite online sources for pipes and tobacco. I'd already tried "Black," another of their collaborative efforts, and a tobacco I think of as a small masterpiece of the blender's art. How could I go wrong with Santee?
It's entirely possible that I'm just getting old and my tongue is turning to leather, but I find Santee more than a little shy on flavor. In the tin, Santee is a mix of medium brown and light brown leaf, golden yellow Virginia, and about 5-10% black Cavendish—probably that nice unsweetened stuff C & D likes to use. The aroma in the tin is very pleasant. Sometimes it reminds me of a well-spiced apple sauce, while other times, I'm transported to the state fair and surrounded by caramel apples. But the tin aroma, pleasant as it is, never seems to linger in the pipe for me beyond the charring light.
The cut? I believe the polite term is "rough." But I prefer to call it "half-assed." Prep time is nothing compared to a rope but I do find that I invariably have to pull apart great chunks of leaf and tear them down a bit before loading. Moisture levels are fine and I found that after the first few smokes, I was able to load straight from the tin with no additional drying required.
The smoke itself is also pleasant—dry, moderately smokey. The only thing that was missing was any sort of compelling flavor. Despite the fact that this is advertised as a "Virginia-based" aromatic, I find it smokes more like a rather plain Burley—Carter Hall in a pretty tin. There is as little Virginia sweetness as there is aromatic intensity and as the bowl progresses, familiar Burley themes tend to arrive on the scene: faintly nutty flavors, increasing astringency, and the creeping flavor of bitterness. With every bowl, I kept thinking things might change, but the tin is now empty and it's not likely that I'll give this one another chance.

This was my first experience with Low Country. I really enjoyed this tobacco. It had a nice very mild apple flavor that allowed the tobacco flavor to come through. I don't usually smoke aromatics but picked this up looking for a more socially "acceptable" smoke. I kept getting compliments on the room note from the non-smokers in the room. This tobacco has found it's way into my rotation for some time to come.

This is a good smoke that burns to a nice white ash. This mainly has the flavor of a nice sweet virgina. No tounge bite if you know how to smoke a virgina properly. This was my first try from this company and I found it to be high quality tobacco.

I'm not normally a huge aromatic fan, but this is a superior example of the style from Low Country Tobacco. Better even than most of C&D's virginia-based aromatics, it features lots of tobacco taste and a delicious apple flavoring that leaves all other apple-themed tobaccos I've tried in the dust. Based on the tin description, I was expecting a mild sipping tobacco that would be tolerable in the summer heat, and this blend delivers what it promises. It burns well and has little bite, although you should keep in mind this is a Virginia blend and treat it with some respect.
Quality-wise, this is on equal footing with Autumn Evening and should appeal to the same crowd. Think of it as Autumn Evening "lite" -- not as heavy but just as enjoyable.
This easily earns a 3-star rating, but I can imagine upgrading later.

I'm one of those guys who likes the idea of smoking an aromatic. I smoke burley, Virginia (with and without perique), English, and even the occasional Balkan. It would be nice to have an aromatic to turn to on occasion, something to smoke around others, but still feel like I'm smoking tobacco. I keep trying aromatics thinking I'll find one that tastes like it smells, won't burn my tongue, or leave my pipe wet with propylene glycol. Up until now I've been out of luck.
Santee is composed of bright leaves, some broken brown flakes, and black cavendish. My tin has been open on my desk for a month or so. My buddy Bill Withers, that many of you know, left it behind after one of our Saturday morning smokes. I smoked a bowl that morning and found it unremarkable. Since, I've had maybe 6 or 7 bowls. It's at a perfect smoking moisture now, and I remember it being pretty good when I first tried it. The flavor is a little fruity, as the tin claims, but still tastes like good Virginia tobacco. The burn is excellent, clean and dry all the way to the bottom of the bowl. I get absolutely no tongue bite at all.
I think I like it. It doesn't burn my tongue, leaves my pipe clean and dry, but I just don't know if it tastes very much like an aromatic. The flavoring is very subtle. This morning on my way to work I thought I tasted more aromatic flavor, but now it tastes pretty much like a typical light Virginia. Craig and Sykes did a good job with this one. I need more time to decide if I've found an aromatic that I can smoke on a regular basis. I want to like it. I really do.

Jan 16 2013 by Linda Foo Guest, Birkenhead News
A WIRRAL family got a welcome surprise when a Romanian boy who they looked after 22 years ago turned up on their doorstep.
Bogdan Geaman fulfilled his life-long promise to return and thank the family who looked after him in 1990 when he was nine.
He stayed in Bromborough with Christine and David Holloway for two weeks after his dad died in the Romanian revolution.
Twenty-two years later the startled couple opened the door to hear: "Hello, I'm Bogdan."
Now 31 and living in Bucharest, Bogdan was visiting a friend in the UK and decided to search for the family, equipped with an old address.
Christine told the News: "We were absolutely stunned because we never imagined his stay to have had such an impact.
"We recognised him instantly and gave him a big hug. He still has the same bubbly personality.
"He brought the old photo album we had put together to show his mum about the day trips we went on.
"He said he wore an Everton shirt we gave him until it was threadbare and a watch until it stopped.
"We were really moved that 22 years on he was focused on visiting us.
"The last time we heard from him was when he was 17. He wrote a letter thanking us for the wonderful holiday and said one day he would say thank you in person. I never thought for one minute he would actually come here.
"He told us how the experience inspired him and gave him something to aim for."
The couple, who have two sons, looked after Bogdan and seven-year-old Mircea Dobre as part of a project with Wellington School to help Romanian orphans.
Bogdan studied an economics degree and now runs his own printing business.
Christine added: "We clothed and fed them, giving them as much support, help and love as we could after the traumas they had suffered.
"Communication was not easy as they spoke no English and we only had a Romanian phrase book to guide us, but we managed.
"I hope this will inspire others to give refuge to people in need. A little love goes a long way."

County commissioners have approved a settlement that ends Palmer Ranch Holdings' lawsuit on school impact fees.
The school district will pay it $372,304, which amounts to half of the impact fees collected in Palmer Ranch.
Palmer Ranch Holdings, which is owned by Hugh Culverhouse Jr., donated 20 acres to the Sarasota County School Board in 1984 to build an elementary school in Palmer Ranch. According to the lawsuit, the agreement that accompanied that donation absolved Palmer Ranch from paying any additional impact fees.
After the school board determined it wasn't going to use that property, it entered into another agreement, which deeded the 20-acre parcel back to Palmer Ranch Holdings in exchange for a different 70-acre parcel for a new school building.
Culverhouse said that by deeding the 70-acre parcel, Palmer Ranch had satisfied the county's requirements, as well as the requirements of the school board.
But in April 2004, county commissioners passed an ordinance, which implemented a school impact fee on all new residential development in the county — including Palmer Ranch.
Palmer Ranch Holdings claimed that more than 1,300 single-family homes and condos were built since the ordinance was approved. Single-family homes were charged $2,032. Multi-family units were charged $474.
The settlement agreement puts an end to five years of litigation.
Because the school district does not plan to build a school on the 70-acre site either, the agreement contains an additional provision that gives Culverhouse the right to buy the property for $1.7 million, which is the appraised value minus the $372,304.
"Do I want $372,000 in cash or pay $1.7 million and get that property?" Culverhouse asked. "We'll go through the property and inspect it."
Culverhouse has until March 31 to make his decision.

Welcome to the mad house Jennifer
She was spamming. There is a somewhat hidden link in the quote. That's why she underlined everything.
Yeah, it was pretty obvious from the beginning.
Amazing that someone would take 5 mins to do all that manually for a couple of clicks.

Apparently the BN ad provider decided I wasn't going to go for the Asian mail order brides, so it switched it up.
Now I have Russian ones. And an ad for some terrible looking ABC series called "Mistresses."

Bryce, Zion & Grand Canyon Family Multisport Tour
- Astonishing rock formations, river-carved canyons and sheer sandstone cliffs
- Pedal among crimson rocks and desert wildflowers to Red Canyon
- An impressive slot canyon in Bryce, whose walls are only ten feet apart in places
- Kids make like early pioneers, exploring the Grand Canyon's rim by mule
- Splash your way through the Narrows in Zion
Biking & Hiking in Utah & Arizona's National Parks
Hovering hoodoos. Walter's Wiggles. Spindly spires. Kids in giggles. Seems right out of Dr. Seuss. But this fantastical world exists. Right here. In the Southwest. You'll rub your eyes. Once. Maybe twice. To believe the whimsical rock formations. The spectacular views. The red and orange and yellow hues. And in this wonderland of slot canyons, pinnacles and bristlecone pine, your family gets to hike, bike, mule ride and rock climb. Watching the sun set at the surreal gorge's rim, you might just hear Dr. Seuss say: "Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Accommodations & Service Standards
The Lodge at Bryce Canyon is a fairly rustic national park lodge that reflects its natural surroundings. While this historic hotel offers simpler accommodations than the typical Backroads property, it's the only game in town - and has been selected because of its access to the best riding and hiking in the region. Although clean and comfortable, the guest rooms are basic and are not equipped with televisions or air-conditioning (nights are usually cool due to the high elevation).Generally speaking, service can seem slow and brusque in the national parks when compared with the high standards of service found on other Backroads trips.
Interpretive Guides & Hiking Without Your Leaders
Due to permit restrictions for all outfitters, your Backroads leaders can hike with you in Bryce Canyon National Park, but can't act as interpretive guides. They will be unable to hike with you in Grand Canyon National Park and are limited to guiding on certain trails in Zion National Park. Throughout the trip, your leaders will give an orientation to the area's flora, fauna and terrain before your hikes.Permit restrictions also dictate that your leaders won't be able to offer route support on the optional bike ride at the Grand Canyon.
Days 1-2 Bryce Canyon's maze of spires, windows and pinnacles Hike through a slot canyon whose walls are only ten feet apart in places Discover a labyrinth of hoodoos and vivid rock formations sprouting from the floor of Queen's Garden Grown-ups spin to Red Canyon, where youngsters join them for a breezy ride What was that? Desert critters, like lizards and chipmunks, scamper across your path Journey through an arid landscape with the spectacular Kaibab Plateau rising ahead.
Day 3 Kids make like early pioneers, exploring the Grand Canyon's rim by mule Adults enjoy an up-close look at the beauty of the Grand Canyon during a hike Youngsters delight in a special dinner with the Kid Coordinator while adults sit down to a satisfying meal at the Grand Canyon Lodge.
Day 4 Splash your way through the Narrows in Zion Admire expansive high-desert views of the Grand Staircase en route to Zion, a hiker's paradise It's an exhilarating river hike through the Narrows, one of the most renowned slot canyons in the world, with small waterfalls and hanging gardens cascading down the rock faces.
Days 5-6 The thrilling hike to Angels Landing, bringing you nearly 2,000 feet above the valley for a 360-degree panorama of soaring sandstone Opt for an easygoing walk past Emerald Pools if heights aren't your thing Experienced canyoneering instructors show kids the ropes Pedal a traffic-free route amid towering walls of sheer Navajo sandstone.
Guests Reviews About This Trip
This was the best trip ever - it combined the right amount of adult time with family time, exercise and leisure. Given the five-year difference in our kids' ages, combined with our younger son's endless energy, we wanted to find the family vacation that satisfied all our needs and goals, and Backroads fulfilled this in every way. Additionally, our leaders' willingness to be flexible with regard to our itinerary made the trip even more tailored to us. A perfect blend of activity, downtime, family, new friends. We are new fans!- Menlo Park, CA
What an amazing family experience!! We could never have accomplished near this amount of activities, left to our own devices. Nor have challenged ourselves as much. We enjoyed the entire experience, and hold its memory dear!- Saint Augustine, FL
Backroads is the way to travel - it was great having all the logistics taken care of. We could just relax and enjoy the trip. The sights were incredible and the activities fun. My children, ages 6-17, all had a wonderful vacation. I cannot say enough nice things about our leaders - they were awesome. I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes to be active and appreciates nature.- Wauwatosa WI

The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)
The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)Version 1.0 This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. Ubuntu 11.10 will by default start the new Unity desktop which requires that your hardware supports 3D acceleration, however you can also switch to Unity 2D mode in the log on screen. If your hardware does not support 3D acceleration or you don't like Unity, you can still download the Ubuntu Classic GNOME desktop, what I will do later in this tutorial. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary NoteTo fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Ubuntu desktop to have the following software installed: Graphics:
Sound & Video:
Lots of our desired applications are available in the Ubuntu repositories, and some of these applications have been contributed by the Ubuntu community. As you might have noticed, a few applications are redundant, for example there are two CD/DVD burning applications in my list (Brasero, K3B). If you know which one you like best, you obviously don't need to install the other applications, however if you like choice, then of course you can install both. The same goes for music players like Amarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox, XMMS or browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chromium). I will use the username howtoforge in this tutorial. Please replace it with your own username. 2 Installing The Base SystemThe installation of the base system is easy as 1-2-3 because the Ubuntu installer doesn't offer a lot of options to choose from, so you cannot go wrong. Download the Ubuntu 11.10 desktop edition iso image from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download, burn it onto a CD, and boot your computer from it: Select your language and click on the Install Ubuntu button to start the installation: On the next screen you see a few requirements for the Ubuntu 11.10 installation (the system should have at least 4.5GB available drive space, should be plugged into a power source (to make sure that the system doesn't shut down during installation because of an empty battery), and should be connected to the Internet). Please check the Download updates while installing and Install this third-party software (this will install the software necessary to process Flash, MP3, and other media files) checkboxes and click on Continue: Now we come to the partitioning of our hard disk. Usually Erase disk and install Ubuntu is a good choice, unless you need custom partitions and know what you're doing. Erase disk and install Ubuntu will create one big / partition for us: Select the hard drive that you want to use for the Ubuntu installation: Then choose your time zone: Change the keyboard layout, if necessary: Type in your real name, your desired username along with a password, and click on Continue: Afterwards, Ubuntu is being installed. This can take a few minutes, so be patient: After the installation, you will be asked to reboot the system. Click on Restart Now: At the end of the shutdown process, you are asked to remove the Ubuntu installation CD from the CD drive. Please do this now and press ENTER: Your new Ubuntu system starts. Log into the desktop with the username and password you provided during the installation: From the cog wheel icon, you can choose your desktop environment. By default, Unity 3D (Ubuntu) will be started. If you want to use Ubuntu 2D, please select it (the system will remember your choice, so the next time you log in, Ubuntu 2D will be started unless you make another selection) and login (If Ubuntu is selected, but you hardware does not support 3D acceleration, your desktop will have no effects). This is how your new Ubuntu Unity desktop looks: Now the base system is ready to be used.

Microsoft NAP for Linux and Mac
Microsoft's Network Access Protection Plattform (NAP) security function will be available for Linux and the Mac operating system via third party products.
At its TechEd fair in Barcelona, Microsoft exhibited technologies by three partners that support access to NAP security requests on heterogeneous networks. NAP is used to query the security policies and identities of clients and to synchronize with server policies on Microsoft networks. NAP is currently deployed in Microsoft Vista and the future Windows Server 2008 platform. Three software packages will bring NAP technology to network nodes running Linux.
Korean security vendor UNET System has a solution for Linux and Mac platforms on heterogeneous networks in the form of a plugin dubbed Anyclick für NAP. US-based Avenda Systems is looking to complete an authentication package titled Avenda Linux Network Access Protection Agent which synchronizes data with Microsoft NAP or its proprietary eTIPS system. Both products are scheduled for release shortly after Windows Server 2008 is launched, that is probably as of February 2008. According to current figures from Redmond, NAP is currently installed on 150,000 desktops, of which some 70,000 are owned by Microsoft itself.

This article from the Red Cross features a cavalier and talks about First Aid classes for pets:
This article from the Red Cross features a cavalier and talks about First Aid classes for pets:
I was sent by the company I work for on a week long course, with the St Johns Ambulance to learn CPR and work based first aid, and it was mentioned by the trainers that we could use the skills we had learned on our pets if need be,
I've read that using the Heimlich manoeuvre is a last ditch thing -- that it can also break bones and is risky. But general first aid skills would definitely be useful. I know you can do mouth to mouth on an animal!
On a small dog like a cavalier, if it was chocking I would try the same method that you use for a child first, by lying it a cross my knee head down and slapping it hard across the back, the Heimlich technique is a last resort with any one.
Thanks for that alternative Lynne, I'd heard the Heimlich manoeuvre can be dangerous too. Hope I never have to use it.

Surgical Technology Open Houses
Fri, Sep 20, 2013 starting at 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
View mock operating room as students exhibit surgical skills
Parkland College will observe National Surgical Technology Week, Sept. 15-21, with open houses on Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 1 to 3 p.m. and Friday, Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. to noon in Room L143.
See what is going on in the surgical technology field. Students in the program will put on surgical gowns and participate in a mock operating room, practicing basic surgical technology skills. The program director and faculty will be present to answer questions.
Surgical technologists are the only formally trained students that are prepared to work in the operating room upon graduation. Certified surgical technologists are responsible for providing an optimal surgical environment for the patient. They function primarily in a sterile capacity during the surgical procedure, but they also perform many nonsterile duties throughout the day.
The Parkland program has been recognized as one of the top 20 elite programs in the nation, based on examination scores of the graduates. A shortage exists for surgical technologists, and employment opportunities are excellent. Although nursing curricula no longer include training students to work in surgery, surgical technology is a great pathway into surgical nursing. Once employed as a surgical technologist, tuition waivers are available to pursue nursing.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting Carolyn Ragsdale, program director of Surgical Technology, at
or 217/373-3746.

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life?

Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?
