[TRANSLATION] LEEHI (Lee Hayi) - 220.127.116.11 (DEBUT SONG)
Click to listen/watch this music video, here.
Hey. C'mon now. I said 1, 2, 3…
Your delusion that I'm still yours ends here.
I'm not that same girl you knew before.
At the sound of morning, the flowers have already bloomed so much.
But why are you still so out of focus?
I'm sick and tired of your hypocrisy.
You lame liar. (Ooh) Will you just back off now?
I think I'm going, going crazy (ooh).
I think I'm going, going crazy (ooh).
Don't act so miserably and pitifully.
Go disappear far, far away. No, no. Na-na-na-na-na-na.
Don't cry so pathetically. Just forget everything forever. No, no.
Stop worrying about others and just mind your own business.
I don't need your sympathy or pity. Uh.
I said 1 and 2 and 2, 4 (ooh).
Time will be the one resolving everything.
1 and 2 and 3, 4 (ooh).
Game over. Game over (ooh). Game over.
No matter where you go, no matter how hard you rub your eyes,
another girl like me is so hard to find.
All the boys cry and go like babies at my sexiness and purity.
It hurts so much. I guess I've already forgotten you.
Hey baby. Just leave.
I said 1 and 2 and 2, 4 (ooh).
Time will be the one resolving everything.
1 and 2 and 3, 4 (ooh).
Game over. Game over (ooh). Game over.
1 and 2 and 3, 4. (x3)

Michigan health experts say a virus that sickened people who took part in a long-distance race through mud and other obstacles likely originated from a participant on the course.
The grueling 'Tough Mudder' obstacle course included more than 22,000 participants and spectators at the Michigan International Speedway June 29-30. But after the hardcore competition at least 200 people reported flu-like symptoms that lasted for several days.
Now the state Department of Community Health says the norovirus that made people sick likely originated from a participant on the course. Health officials say most illnesses were reported from people who had mud or muddy water in the mouth.
The state says race officials are working to prevent health problems in the future.

Don't Take the Technical Debt Metaphor Too Far
Putting technical debt into financial terms also allows consultants and vendors to try to scare business executives into buying their tools or their help – like Gartner calculating that world wide "IT debt" costs will exceed $1.5 in a couple of more years, or CAST software's assessment that the average enterprise is carrying millions of dollars of technical debt.
Businesses understand debt. Businesses make a decision to take on debt on and they track it, account for it and manage it. The business always knows how much debt they have, why they took it on, and when they need to pay it off. Businesses don't accidentally take on debt – debt doesn't just show up on the books one day.
We don't know when we're taking technical debt on
But developers accidentally take on debt all of the time – what Martin Fowler calls "inadvertent debt", due to inexperience and misunderstandings, everything from "What's Layering?" to "Now we know how we should have done it" looking at the design a year or two later.
"The point is that while you're programming, you are learning. It's often the case that it can take a year of programming on a project before you understand what the best design approach should have been."
Taking on this kind of debt is inevitable – and you'll never know when you're taking it on or how much, because you don't know what you don't know.
Even when developers take on debt consciously, they don't understand the costs at the time – the principal or the interest. Most teams don't record when they make a trade-off in design or a shortcut in coding or test automation, never mind try to put a value on paying off their choice.
We don't understand (or often even see) technical debt costs until long after we've taken the costs on. When you're dealing with quality and stability problems; or when you're estimating out a change and you recognize that you made mistakes in the past or that you took shortcuts that you didn't realize before or shortcuts that you did know about but that turned out to be much more expensive than you expected; or once you understand that you chose the wrong architecture or the wrong technical platform. Or maybe you've just run a static analysis tool like CAST or SONAR which tells you that you have thousands of dollars of technical debt in your code base that you didn't know about until now.
Now try and explain to a business executive that you just realized or just remembered that you have put the company into debt for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Businesses don't and can't run this way.
We don't know how much technical debt is really costing us
By expressing everything in financial terms, we're also pretending that technical debt costs are all hard costs to the business and that we actually know how much the principal and interest costs are: we're $100,000 in debt and the interest rate is 3% per year. Assigning a monetary value to technical debt costs give them a false sense of precision and accuracy.
Let's be honest. There aren't clear and consistent criteria for costing technical debt and modelling technical debt repayment – we don't even have a definition of what technical debt is that we can all agree on. Two people can come up with a different technical debt assessment for the same system, because what I think technical debt is and what you think technical debt is aren't the same. And just because a tool says that technical debt costs are $100,000.00 for a code base, doesn't make the number true.
Any principal and interest that you calculate (or some tool calculates for you) are made-up numbers and the business will know this when you try to defend them – which you are going to have to do, if you want to talk in financial terms with someone who does finance for a living. You're going to be on shaky ground at best – at worse, they'll understand that you're not talking about real business debt and wonder what you're trying to pull off.
The other problem that I see is "debt fatigue". Everyone is overwhelmed by the global government debt crisis and the real estate debt crisis and the consumer debt crisis and the fiscal cliff and whatever comes next. Your business may be already fighting its own problems with managing its financial debt. Technical debt is one more argument about debt that nobody is looking forward to hearing.
We don't need to talk about debt with the business
We don't use the term "technical debt" with the business, or try to explain it in financial debt terms. If we need to rewrite code because it is unstable, we treat this like any other problem that needs to be solved – we cost it out, explain the risks, and prioritize this work with everything else. If we need to rewrite or restructure code in order to make upcoming changes easier, cheaper and less risky, we explain this as part of the work that needs to be done, and justify the costs. If we need to replace or upgrade a platform technology because we are getting poor support from the supplier, we consider this a business risk that needs to be understood and managed. And if code should be refactored or tests filled in, we don't explain it, we just do it as part of day-to-day engineering work.
We're dealing with technical debt in terms that the business understands without using a phony financial model. We're not pretending that we're carrying off-balance sheet debt that the company needs to rely on technologists to understand and manage. We're leaving debt valuation and payment amortization arguments to the experts in finance and accounting where they belong, and focusing on solving problems in software, which is where we belong.

Bruce Wallace replied on Wed, 2013/02/13 - 8:52pm
I totally disagree that "technical debt" should not be uttered in front of the "business" people.
That metaphor was created to get across to non-technical people that current decisions are replacing one kind of cost today with other kinds of costs in the future (without having to get into any technical details). Technical debt translates to real money, and to the extent that you can't put a reliable dollar figure to it, how many dollar figures attached to development estimates are worth the paper they are written on anyway! ;-)
When business is driving short term thinking with regard to costs, the business has to be made aware that there is no free lunch. E.G. not spending the time/money to produce good specs now, will result in costly wheel-spinning later when QA misinterprets what should be tested, and when design/implementation has be refactored (euphemism for you-have-to-pay-for-it-again) because it didn't meet the business owner's desires. E.G. if you don't clean this code up now while we are in there anyway, you will more than pay for it later in maintenance costs. Etc, Etc.
Jim Bird replied on Thu, 2013/02/14 - 10:44am
I'm not opposed to explaining to having conversations with the business about technical debt problems and risks and costs. The people who are paying for the work need to know when the development team has to stop and take time to rewrite some code because it is too unstable or upgrade some software to stay on support, and the potential costs and risks of not doing this work. But I don't think that developers should explain this in terms of debt to the business, and I especially disagree with people who come up with fancy technical debt financial models and calculators in order to push some agenda.
The "Technical Debt" metaphor was not created to explain technical issues to the business - it is a high-level metaphor to help technical people think about and talk about problems with a system that aren't bugs. Debt doesn't have the same meaning to the business, and it's a mistake to think this.
Matthew Holford replied on Fri, 2013/03/29 - 9:52am
I recently put up a related article at On Technical Debt, and just found this one, which makes many of the same points that I do (but a month earlier!). Thank you for contributing this critical look at the limits of the metaphor, and the real dangers of its misuse.
I've also written elsewhere on the issue of technical debt and "the business", and subsequently had conversations on this topic with engineering and project managers at different kinds of organizations, including Google, 10gen, and agencies. The consensus has been that technical debt as a metaphor, when explained correctly, brings clarity of conversation across groups, including business, and helps disparate actors to find resolution on sometimes hairy conflicts.
While I agree that the metaphor was "not created to explain technical issues to the business," the point is that we benefit the larger organization when all groups gain fluency with this term. There's no need to be an originalist about the metaphor and its intended audience. Those of us who understand the metaphor in its historical and technical context have a responsibility to educate others as to its responsible use. My employer has seen potential clients actually breathe sighs of relief when our project managers display a knowledge of the metaphor, and in particular what it means in the context of an engagement that, e.g., seeks to push new features onto an aging, complex platform. These kinds of conversations can be greatly enabled by a nuanced understanding of the metaphor's use, and of its limits.

GAINESVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a 23-year-old western New York man has been charged with sexually abusing two girls and neglecting four puppies kept in a cage at his rural home.
State police say arrested Robert DeCarr of Gainesville last weekend and charged him with sexually abusing a 9-year-old girl in 2006 and a 13-year-old girl in May.
Troopers say when they arrived at his town of Gainesville home to arrest him, they found a cage on the porch with three emaciated puppies and one dead puppy inside. Police say he and a 20-year-old man living at the home were both charged with cruelty to animals and neglect of an animal.
DeCarr is being held in the Wyoming County Jail on $50,000 bail. It couldn't immediately be determined if he has a lawyer.

Differences between India and Australia may shed light on preventing dementia
Wednesday, 14 March 2012 10:22
Comparing Australian and Indian populations may prove the key to understanding the role of genetics and lifestyle in the onset of dementia.
By comparing patient information between the two countries, Australia's leading neuroscientists in the CRC for Mental Health hope to understand factors which could prevent or delay dementia.
"There are significant lifestyle differences between India and Australia which could hold the key. As an example, the Indian diet is more likely to be vegetarian or contain spices such as turmeric.
If we can find differences in the way dementia progresses between populations and link these with lifestyle changes, we could improve options for those living with dementia", said Dr Peter Hudson, from the CRC for Mental Health.
Over 35 million people worldwide live with dementia, a condition which causes changes in memory, personality and behaviour.
The CRC for Mental Health is investigating prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of types of dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease.
Dr Peter Hudson and Professor Ralph Martins, CRC program leader have recently returned from the Victorian Government's Super Trade Mission to India, strengthening ties with Indian Neuroscience Institutes in New Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai.
The CRC for Mental Health was established under the Cooperative Research Centres program, an Australian Government Initiative.
The CRC program supports end-user driven research collaborations to address major challenges facing Australia.

Virginia Beach, VA--Two women reported missing in Halifax County have been found safe and sound in Virginia Beach.
According to the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office, the two elderly women were found late Friday night at a McDonald's. We're told a citizen recognized them from the missing person reports and called Virginia Beach Police. Officials say 87-year-old Mary Lee Lambert and 79-year-old Lillian Rickmond were disoriented when they were picked up by police.
Lambert and Rickmond were reported missing Friday after they left a family member's home in Dinwiddie, and never made it home to Scottsburg. The Halifax County Sheriff's Office says both women have early signs of dementia.

The Albany Police Gang Task Force is making more arrests this year, and they expect to see a spike in crime over the holidays.
The Task Force made 412 arrests through October and issued 874 citations for gang activity.
Gang task force officers warn that during the holidays, crimes such as robbery and burglary increase, and you should take precautions.
"Especially leaving these businesses. Call the police to escort you home or escort you to your car or whatever. Please feel free to do so. Because like I said the holidays it's going to be pretty busy out here," said Investigator Roosevelt Kearney of the Albany Police Gang Task Force.
Last year the Albany Police Department increased the number of cops on the streets during the holidays by working longer shifts.

Shadowrun Online brings cyberpunk fantasy online, is part of a resurgence of the role-playing brand
Shadowrun is what happens when you mix Blade Runner with Lord of the Rings: it's a cyberpunk neo-noir universe that explores concepts of trans-humanism, an individual's soul interfacing with technology, and the dawn of a new age. Shadowrun also adds elves, orcs and dragons to the mix. As the original tabletop RPG nears its 25th anniversary, two video game adaptations are preparing to launch thanks to successful Kickstarter campaigns. This week, we'll be looking at three Shadowrun properties: Shadowrun Online, Shadowrun Returns, and the original Shadowrun tabletop RPG. Today we look at Shadowrun Online. Shadowrun Online is a turn-based tactical RPG set in the Shadowrun universe, where dragons run megacorporations and elves operate in gangs of computer hackers. It can be played solo, co-op or PvP, and is based on rules from the Shadowrun tabletop RPG. The game is being developed by Cliffhanger Productions, who have also adapted the tabletop RPG Deadlands and strategy series Jagged Alliance for the free-to-play online space. The team has veterans from titles like Diablo 2, and actor Jeff Ricketts has lent a face to the company's Kickstarter videos. Felicia Day tweeted her support, and even Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward supported the game to such an extent that he'll be featured as a playable character in the game. Shadowrun Online has a lot going for it, and the Kickstarter has already been funded. Now it's up to Cliffhanger.
Three games, multiple systems, one world
This isn't a simple business venture for Cliffhanger; the process isn't as simple as acquiring rights to an IP and making a single game. Executive Producer Jan Wagner has been working closely with the teams behind the Shadowrun tabletop RPG as well as Harebrained Schemes, the studio developing Shadowrun Returns - another video game adaptation - to craft a single, coherent universe across all three experiences. Shadowrun Online takes place 20 years after Shadowrun Returns, and both studios are working with storyline developers on the Shadowrun tabletop system so that each game impacts the other. In other words, what happens in Shadowrun Returns will have an effect on Shadowrun Online, and Shadowrun Online will in turn move the meta-plot of the tabletop system forward. Shadowrun Online is also looking to break the hardware barrier, as Wagner plans to release on iOS and Android tablets, PC, Mac, Linux, and even Ouya. "The device shouldn't define the game," Wagner told the Penny Arcade Report. "This is actually an ambitious goal technically, design and control-wise, so we hope to break the device barriers in a meaningful way." Wagner recognizes his studio's limits. Cliffhanger Productions can't compete with the big-budget MMOs like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2. But that's okay he says, because the game he wants to make isn't really targeting that audience anyway. The game Wagner wants to make is a turn-based tactical RPG that targets what he calls the "mid-core" gamer: the player who doesn't have time for the triple-A titles but finds free-to-play games lacking. "We want to appeal to people who like to use their brains, like a challenge, but don't want to be forced to be there every day, learn a hundred skill cues by heart, or spend hours running from quest A to quest A," Wagner said. "We want a game that requires more than button mashing or simply logging in ten times a day to do chores." At the end of the day, Wagner isn't just a developer out to take an established franchise and make a buck. He's been playing Shadowrun for years, and still fondly remembers a particular character he played back in the day. As he told me about it, his enthusiasm for the system and setting was clear. "One of my personal favorites was a fun moment when my Troll Peacemaker and his Panther Assault Cannon called Kitty encountered nature for the first time. He had never been outside the city. Since he was used to a technological environment, he desperately tried to activate functionalities on trees and other 'interfaces' he encountered," he said.
Stretch your legs, fire your gun
The game can't emulate everything from the pen-and-paper system, Wagner said, but when it does borrow, it does so with thorough execution. Players of the tabletop RPG will know that conditional modifiers play a large part in Shadowrun's combat, and Cliffhanger has implemented those. However, the game isn't just combat. One of the most intriguing features of Shadowrun Online isn't necessarily combat-related at all; it's the implementation of legwork. Legwork is in many ways the calm before the storm. This is your character's chance to gather information, discover alternate routes, disable security, and generally prepare for combat. Players can use their character's social skills to bribe, intimidate, or otherwise manipulate situations to their favor, or take advantage of technical knowledge to discover the layout of the enemy base, for example. It's not meant to replace the spontaneous nature of playing Shadowrun as a tabletop RPG, but it does evoke feelings of choice and consequence, giving a good sense of freedom within the game.Once legwork has been completed, it's time for your runner to head into battle. Wagner and his team have also been hard at work on a big feature he refers to as "contextualized gameplay." Depending on your character's archetype - fighter, mage, tech-oriented - they'll be able to view the world differently. Hackers, for example, can see where a terminal will open a bridge. Mages can see through walls and detect supernatural presences. Combat-oriented players will be able to analyze a battlefield most effectively. Wagner stressed that the game is still in early development and many designs are still being tossed around with regards to combat. "We build and dismantle systems on a daily basis," he said. Still, the game is based on the tabletop rules, which makes Shadowrun Online a great way to experience Shadowrun with friends across long distances without the need for a virtual tabletop. It also means the ability to train in Specializations instead of following rigid character class progression, plus other Shadowrun-specific rules. Sadly, no comment from Wagner on a playable tree-hacker archetype. Shadowrun Online is projected to release on iPad, Android tablets, PC, Mac, Linux and Ouya sometime next year, with a closed beta expected around May.

Big Sam is built for the festival stage. While he fills up New Orleans night clubs regularly and puts on a fantastic show, he belongs on the road in front of huge, thousands-strong crowds spreading our city's gospel. That's where his loud, affable stage presence is given room to play with the crowd, and whether it's at Jazz Fest, Jam Cruise or Wakarusa, he always has them in the palm of his hand.
The 2008 album "Peace, Love & Understanding" from the trombone player's band Funky Nation gives a taste of what Big Sam brings to the table: rocking funk fueled by brass. The album is filled with instrumentals that sound great on CD, but shine even more during his funked out jam sessions at live shows.
Big Sam takes a break from the trombone on a few songs to do vocals, like on the opening track "Up in Here," featuring Ivan Neville's magic touch. They reprise that track later on in the album, leading into "We Got It," a nasty tune where Big Sam has a long solo over a slap-bass rhythm dripping with funk.
When listening to "Peace, Love & Understanding" for the first time, you won't find yourself blown away, but you will feel totally satisfied with the tight, fun record. It's an easy listen. But after you see Big Sam live, either on the big stage or not, revisit this album for a trip right back to the crowd, and chances are you'll be screaming "Feelin kinda funky" right along with Big Sam and his crew.

Hubbub: Chuck Hogan
Did they pick your brain at all? I had lunch with Ben and all we did was talk about the story, but it was already done by then. He had been living with it for almost two years. He didn't need any help from me.
You've been able to screen the movie. What did you think? It was completely surreal, having dreamt it up so many years ago; my plan is to see it pretty much every night it's out. I may never get another movie made, so I've got to soak it up while I can.
Do you get a ticket to the premiere? They are contractually obligated to invite me. I can't wait.

So here we go:
Question 1: So what's the past year been like blogging as the defending Super Bowl champs? Does any part of it get tiring or it all confetti and parades?
JB: Funny you ask, as I'm new to the SB Nation family. However, I was writing for CBSSports.com as a Ravens correspondent the last two years. I don't have any Ravens allegiances as I'm a college football nut from Georgia that wound up living in the Baltimore/D.C. area. But to answer your question, writing about the good stuff doesn't get old. Especially when I, along with other writers in this area, spent the last five weeks of the 2012 season covering four Ravens losses. People like to read about their team win they win, I'd think.
Just as I had hoped.
Question 2: What do feel are the Ravens chances of repeating as SB champs? What's the biggest question mark right now?
JB: They coaches and players both are trying not to think about repeating as champions because of the difficulty it takes to actually achieve that goal. In their mind, that was 2012 and this is 2013. The biggest question mark is finding out who steps up at receiver. The Ravens have one proven guy in Torrey Smith but about eight others that are on an equal playing field. Can any of them step up and become reliable options?
I guess we will have to watch and see who stands out at WR for the Ravens.
Question 3: Who is going to replace LB Ray Lewis both on the field and in the locker room?
JB: The on-the-field answer is Daryl Smith, the former Jaguars inside linebacker that Baltimore signed this offseason. He's stepping into that inside middle linebacker role and has had a great preseason so far. The Ravens are really happy with this transaction. As far as in the locker room, that duty will be split between Terrell Suggs and Joe Flacco. Suggs is a more vocal, in-your-face kind of guy, who also likes to keep the mood light with jokes and humor. Flacco's more of a quiet type, which is perfect for leading this kind of offense. There aren't a lot of extroverts on offense, so Flacco fits that group perfectly.
Smith has had a nice career so far and should have a couple good seasons left in him. Now whether he can replace Ray Lewis after playing in a 4-3 for years is another story.
Question 4: The Ravens appear to have taken a hit in the passing game with the FA departures and Dennis Pitta injury? Who do you think will step up and fill the void?
JB: The Ravens signed both Visanthe Shiancoe and Dallas Clark to take the spot. I'd have to think Clark gets the early nod, with Shiancoe fighting for the No. 3 tight end spot with Ed Dickson a clear No. 1 tight end now. The Ravens could also get some production from a bevy of inside receivers, such as Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson and Brandon Stokley. Stokley's the favorite for the slot receiver job, which raises questions about what Doss' role will be in 2013. Thompson has been dealing with a foot sprain so the jury's out on whether he'll produce in that role this season.
Stokley has been a serviceable receiver in the past. Other than that it looks a little thin.
Question 5: How long with the Ravens starters play Thursday? What key players will sit out?
JB: The starters will play at least a half, with some playing well into the third quarter. My guess is guys like Ray Rice and Terrell Suggs play a little bit into the third quarter, if they even make it that far, and are then pulled. However, younger starters will probably play three quarters or close to that length. Dickson (hamstring) and Thompson (foot) won't play Thursday. However, there's a chance cornerback Lardarius Webb (ACL) and right guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder) see their first preseason game action.
So both teams should play their starters to at least the first half.

About Butterfly Symbolism:
Like flowers and hearts, butterflies are a popular design element in jewelry today. They are graceful, feminine and delicate and likewise embody these very qualities. As a personal totem, butterflies represent concepts of transformation, freedom and creativity. To early Christians, it represented the soul. An individual chooses an animal totem by the attributes associated with it, often through self analysis, awareness or observation. At times they reflect our emotional needs or state of mind.
According to Native American culture, the butterfly is a symbol of joy. Ultimately, butterflies eloquently illustrate that growth and transformation can be gradual, peaceful and filled with joy. This butterfly design will soften your look with astounding brilliance, meaningful symbolism and sweet sophistication.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Found all over the world, agate has been creatively striped by nature. It is a type of chalcedony quartz that forms in concentric layers of colors and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in a host rock. As a result, agate often is found as a round nodule with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk. Tiny quartz crystals called druzy (sometimes spelled as drusy) often form within the stone, adding to its beauty and uniqueness. Agate is a hard stone, within the range of 7.0-9.0 on the Mohs Scale.
In 1497, the mining of agate in the Nahe River valley in Germany gave rise to the cutting center of Idar-Oberstein. When the Nahe agate deposit was exhausted in the nineteenth century, Idar cutters started to develop the agate deposits of Brazil, discovering Brazil's rich deposits of many other gemstones. A famous collection of two to four thousand agate bowls, accumulated by Mithradates, King of Pontus, shows the popularity of agate at the time. Agate bowls were also popular in the Byzantine Empire. Collecting agate bowls became common among European royalty during the Renaissance and many museums in Europe, including the Louvre, have spectacular examples.
Although the small town of Idar-Oberstein is still known for the finest agate carving in the world, today Idar imports a huge range of other gem materials from around the world for cutting and carving in Germany. Cameo master carvers, modern lapidary artists and rough dealers flourish there, exporting their latest gem creations. It is an entire industry that grew from the desire for agate products during the Renaissance.
Agate was highly valued as a talisman or amulet in ancient times. It was said to quench thirst and protect from fevers. Persian magicians used agate to divert storms. Today, some believe that agate is a powerful emotional healer and helps people discern the truth.
Marcasite, a name derived from the Arabic word for pyrite, is the term applied to small polished and faceted stones inlayed in sterling silver. Their color is usually described is being pale bronze, looking rather gray with a greenish tint. A multi-colored tarnish may exist as a result of oxidation. With a metallic luster and opaque crystals, marcasite ranks 6.0-6.5 on the Mohs Scale. Occurrences are worldwide, especially in the United States, Mexico, France, Peru, China and Russia.

West Milford, Vernon PALs claim they're not benefiting from N.J. chapter's fund drive
WEST MILFORD — Local Police Athletic League directors are furious over a state chapter's fund-raising drive that they say is being done on behalf of their groups but doesn't actually benefit them.
Heads of the PAL groups in West Milford and Vernon said the Police Athletic League of New Jersey, a statewide support group, has in recent days called up area residents to solicit donations. Callers explain that the money goes directly to the local groups, which isn't true, the directors said.
"We've never received any donation from that organization," said Bill Hemstead, president of the West Milford PAL. "Somebody's got to blow the whistle on those people."
An employee of the West Milford PAL said the state group has called her, a coach and several families with similar donation pitches in recent months. The employee, who declined to be named, was told that money was requested on her behalf.
Hemstead said he was solicited last Thursday: the canvasser suggested he renew a $10 donation from last year, though he said he has never given to the group.
The worry, Hemstead says, is that residents will turn his organization away when it launches its own fundraising drive later this year, thinking that they already contributed. The West Milford PAL relies almost solely on donations to operate its after school open gym, basketball and soccer programs and summer camp for youth, he said.
"They're taking our thunder from us, that's what they're doing," Hemstead said. "Don't use our name and tell us you're giving money to us and not do it."
Jeanne Buffalino, director of the Vernon PAL, said she requested the state group's executive, Timothy Dowd, to stop solicitations in the area after she learned that a member of the police department was called last week. He responded in an email that he would tell his solicitation company to be mindful of calls made to Vernon residents, but people can always just say no, she said.
Dowd did not return calls requesting comment on Monday.
Local PAL groups have protested the state chapter's fundraising tactic for years, but its impact is potentially higher during an economic climate where donations are low and requests for free programming are up, said Vernon Police Lt. Randy Mills, a trustee for the local PAL who was director for 19 years. He posted on the department's Facebook page alerting residents that the state chapter did not support local programs.
"It's not a scam, they are a legitimate organization, but they are definitely misleading people," Mills said.
Local PAL groups can become members of the state chapter for an annual fee and receive a newsletter and information about available grants and other services. The Vernon chapter, which has been a member for 15 years, is now "strongly considering" not to renew, in part because of the group's fundraising method, Mills said.
"More than not it's creating headaches for us," he said.

Dwight Howard intends to play in the All-Star game next weekend barring any setbacks with his shoulder, according to ESPN Los Angeles' Ramona Shelburne.
Dwight Howard says he will play in the All Star game if he doesnt have any setbacks with his shoulder— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) February 11, 2013
Dwight has played in 46 of the Lakers 52 games and has missed a handful of contests due to the torn labrum in his right shoulder he intends to play through. As recently as last week Dwight was missing games, despite being medically cleared, because of soreness in his shoulder. He also went on record with Stephen A. Smith stating his back was only at 75%, and his legs tingle and go numb during games.
So, what better time to play a meaningless exhibition games then now?!
Despite repeatedly saying his long term health was his primary concern, and missing critical regular season games during the Lakers seven game road trip, it appears Dwight will play on and take part in All-Star weekend (even though there being plenty of reasons for Dwight to NOT play).

Send Your Halloween Candy to our Troops
November 4, 2011 | Posted By: Lori Felix
If your kids are in a sugar stupor and you don't know what to do with all that Halloween candy, here is an easy way to move it out of the house and really do a good deed.
Treats for Troops is a non-profit that sends toiletries, baked goods, candy and more to remote military camps, hospitals, and bases. They will gladly take your individually wrapped left over Halloween candy to send to our troops. Often our soldiers share their candy with the children they meet.
If you can pick up some extra candy on sale, you can include that in your package. This would be a great family project. You can publicize this at your office, school, or sports team. Perhaps your kids could organize a candy drive to collect the leftover candy in your neighborhood. Ask for a few dollars from everyone to help offset the cost to mail your package.
According to Treats for Troops founder, Karin King, many of our soldiers need the basic necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, razors, shampoo, and more. Now we know of a great way to grab those free deals and nearly free deals and share them with our troops. We can send our toiletries and our candy to:
Treats for Troops, 29807 State Road 54, Wesley Chapel, FL 33543 and get more information at www.treatsfortroops.info.
I read about Treats for Troops in the October 17, 2011 edition of Woman's Day Magazine. Put a smile on a soldier's face!

Body found in River Avon (From Cotswold Journal)

Body found in River Avon
4:21pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for the public's help to trace a dead man who was found in the River Avon in Evesham.
Officers were called to the Weir Meadow Caravan Park in Castle Street just after 10am yesterday (Wednesday) after a member of the public spotted a body in the river that had been caught up on a boat mooring.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service sent a boat crew to recover the man, which appears to have been in the water for some days.
But detectives have not yet been able to identity him as he had no ID or wallet on him and he does not fit any outstanding missing persons reports in counties upstream from Evesham.
The man was white and aged between 45 and 55 and when he was found, he was wearing a pair of well-used Caterpillar boots, a studded leather belt, a tweed-like Jasper Conran coat worn under a dark blue body warmer and a thick-knit jumper with a zipped collar.
He was also wearing a blue and red-checked shirt, dark blue jeans and in a pocket were a pair of metal-rimmed glasses in a hard, blue case from Boots.
Detective Sergeant Chris Percival, who is leading the search, said: "Usually in such tragic cases, we can quickly identify the person and inform their next of kin, so it is unfortunate that with this man we have so little to go on.
"It is more likely this man is from Worcestershire or Warwickshire, so I would like to appeal to anyone who thinks they recognise the description and the clothes he was wearing, to contact West Mercia Police straightway."
Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting reference number 151s 19/02/14.

I felt disappointed overall and will most likely not be back...it was an opportunity for the restaurant to pick up four new fans, but we felt the caliber of the food, for the price, was unremarkable.
- Did Not Live Up to My Expectations!DaytonFoodLuvrDined on 8/1/2014Our experience at McCormick & Schmicks didn't live up to my expectations at all. It was restaurant week, and they were busy, but nonetheless, our waiter was very awkward, the food came out cold, and when it came out, we really weren't impressed: especially for the $30 price tag.

- Excellent serviceMustangAcresDined on 7/27/2014We can always count on mccormicks giving us a memorable time. Service outstanding as always. Being able to have a personalized menu for special occasions is great!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/19/2014The best part of the meal was the Shrimp kisses appetizer but our entrees were just ok and not what we expected from a higher end seafood place. The Ahi Tuna did not seem fresh at all and the crusted tilapia was very bland.
- Disappointed in portion sizeTravelgirlVIPDined on 7/17/2014Ordered the scallop special at 29.99 and received 4 very small scallops and risotto. I am not A big eater and still found myself hungry after. We've noticed a big change since Mccormicks changed owners.Special Features:
- Mid-week dinnerwinetasterVIPDined on 7/8/2014Excellent meal at mid-week. Enjoyed the chef's special at a very good price. The food and service were as excellent as on the weekend and we enjoyed the quieter atmosphere.Special Features:
- TwolovebirdsDined on 7/5/2014Great meal and service! Look forward to dining with you in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive, but disappointingDougDined on 7/2/2014Clam chowder had a jellied kind of broth, not creamy. Ordered crab cakes, but got a crab tower. Mashed potatoes tasted instant. Asparagus overdone. Lump/chunk crab was very small and stringy. Service was mediocre. Ambience was nice and comfortable. Cost was $150, in including tip. Overall, we paid a lot for a disappointing meal in a comfortable setting.
- Great service, good food, noisyAn2netDined on 6/26/2014Everything about our visit was good except for the very noisy rock band playing outside the restaurant. They were pretty bad, but not the fault of the restaurant. We had the chef's special salmon with orzo, and it was delicious. Our server, Phil, was excellent.Special Features:
- Good resolutionfamilyoutingDined on 6/24/2014We had a party of 9 people. One guest received soup that was cold, and they took care of it right away. One guest (same one) received a cold fish entree. They took it away and brought it back hot, but now overcooked. The manager responded in a professional manner, deducted the price of the meal, and discussed improvement of the process. Everybody has problems, McCormick & Schmick's management took care of theirs in the proper, professional manner. We shall return!Special Features:
- Another good mealJandLDined on 6/22/2014We went for the 3-course special ... walnut and greens salad, shrimp and beef medallions and creme brulee. Good food. Great service.Special Features:
- Slow and OverpricedoutandaboutDined on 6/20/2014I had forgotten how overpriced M&S is. The food was ok but not worth the price. Service was slow because the attendance was low and they decided to let our server go for the evening. Once our new server appeared, things were smooth but overall, unimpressed.
- Great MealCWoodVIPDined on 6/20/2014Enjoyable meal - the special appetizer of Lobster Bites was fantastic. Service was exceptional as well as the wine and food. Good place for a great meal.
- Choose Wisely, Don't waste your $$$DisappointedDined on 6/15/2014What a disappointment on Father's Day. Waiter was awful and clothing was dirty and looked slept in from night before. Food luke warm and then waiter admitted that he served us old coffee and he'd make a fresh pot at no charge. Never again!
- disappointedJennaDined on 6/15/2014Dirty linens, paperon table, filthy glassware. We waited at least 45 mins for food & there were less than 15 tables in the whole place. Two meals were completely the wrong meal. Most everyone's was stone cold & overdone. Never been let down here before, but this was shockingly bad. Sad it had to be on Father's Day.
- Another visit McCormick & SchmidtCigarjoeDined on 6/11/2014This is our 16th M & S, I believe. When we have a trip to a new city, we always check for a McCormick & Schmidt. The M & S in the Dayton, area was another great meal. Our group of four had crab cakes, scollops, sea bass and crab cakes. Everything was great, just as we have grown to expect from McCormick & Schmidt. We'll try one in Texas sometime during August. As always, a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PoorOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/7/2014Slow Overpriced for quality Food was brought out randomly. Great waiter felt bad for the rest of his staff behind him. Boo!
- DaveJDined on 6/7/2014Food was good.....not exceptional for the price, in my opinion. My entree had to be sent back for being undercooked, despite a lengthy discussion with the waiter specifically about "doneness" prior to ordering, resulting in our food arriving at different times. The waiter mentioned that mine was "...the first special of the night that was sent back....". Guess he felt that was my fault. The whole ordering process seemed a little rushed, as though we were too slow in ordering. Didn't care much for that. This was a 45th wedding anniversary and it was a bit disappointing, although not terrible. I'd have to think about going back again for an event like this; not up to "Oakwood Club" standards by a long shot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful anniversary eveningLuckyDined on 6/6/2014We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the patio, having a wonderful meal, and listening to the music at The GreeneSpecial Features:
- InsensitiveDakota312Dined on 5/29/2014Upon arriving at the restaurant and seated, it was obvious that the personnel at the restaurant had not even read the open table special request I submitted. We specifically requested a booth and were taken toward a table in the middle of the room. When I said it was not acceptable, the personnel said "oh, I did not know you wanted a booth". Two of our group ordered the same entrée and there was a NOTABLE difference in the quantity and quality of the King crab legs. Some looked as though they could be Snow Crab legs!
- Nice EveningPitBull62Dined on 5/29/2014We dine here several times a year. This meal was to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary. The food was very good and our server was on top of everything. I booked our reservation online and we were seated quickly upon arrival. The coconut shrimp appetizer was very good. The desserts were also excellent. The portions were just right. I reviewed the wine list and it was also excellent. As a personal choice I never drink alcohol any time I'm driving and I was driving.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/17/2014Lobster was great, steak was good but a little dry. Could have used more sauce. Two of us had the same thing, and he also commented that his steak was a little dry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- M&S's is better than ever!CarolinOhioDined on 5/15/2014We were there to use a Birthday Discount. Artisan-style bread is served, without requesting it, with salad. The bread is far better than that of previous years at M&C's. The chopped salad was fully chopped, also an improvement. (A tiny less salad dressing is suggested--the greens were wilted.) The scallops entree was exciting! We shared the featured-potatoes (a "hash" with crabmeat). Yum. The crab-avocado-mango appetizer was generous, with everything fully chopped. Our server provided one of us with a Martini from the bar--a nice service. Overall--excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good as usualotterladyVIPDined on 5/14/2014Great selection but it would be nice if they had a vegetarian entree. Service was fast and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mothers Day DinnerMothersday2014Dined on 5/11/2014Dinner was excellent. Prices a bit steep. No special menu for Mothers Day it seems. Thank you for the free chocolate covered strawberry for dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Daysal1Dined on 5/11/2014It was super crowded on Mother's Day. We had our reservation for inside but elected to eat outside. They accommodated us but definitely were short on servers. Food was good, but a bit pricey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day BrunchlylechambersDined on 5/11/2014Menu for this special occasion had excellent choices not usually on their regular menu. An overall great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oops not enough staff, poor mngmnttfcmvaDined on 5/11/2014On a beautiful Mother's Day, mom decided to sit outside. A serious mistake as management was not staffed to handle outside seating. Waited 15 minutes before the first server noted our presence. Took fancy drink orders and another 15 minutes to deliver same. 2 of 4 had coffee. First coffee delivered without saucer, forgot second. Second coffee delivered with saucer but cup swimming in a pool. No sugar or cream. Had to beg. Server never noted the coffee spillage finally used available bread plates as saucers. Needed to beg for water from a busboy. The high priced mixed drinks arrived unusually short of beverage. Essentially half the drink for twice the price. It took all of my patience to keep calm so as not too spoil the event for mom.Special Features:

Town Square
5,000 watch Veterans Day parade on Main Street

This was a great parade to take my kids to see our Veterans, active military, local elected politicians and decorated war heroes. A great day!
By the way, where is the photo that was in the paper of the people on the red fire truck?
on Nov 9, 2013 at 3:48 pm
I was once a young soldier marching in a 4th of July parade in some small town back east. I can't remember the name of the town, but I still have a picture of the little town square with its gazebo in my mind. I also remember the aging former soldiers at the VFW that had retired from their civilian jobs years and years before buying us beers and being grateful, I remember thinking, to have people they thought would understand sit and listen to them for a while. An entire lifetime has passed between then and now, and I look at the world differently from this end. The crowds honor those who have served, and I thank you for your gratitude; but every time I read of another young boy mangled by the experience of war, I wonder at how cheaply our willingness to put our youngsters into harm's way is bought with a couple of high-school marching band songs, a shiny red fire engine siren and a look at a Huey on a float rolling by, and how easily we allow ourselves to ignore the parade of suffering in VA hospitals and private homes across the nation.
I love my country, and I hope it loves its children enough to think much longer and much harder before sending them off to fight.
on Nov 9, 2013 at 5:13 pm
Why has the media, including the PW, neglected to report how many of our young men and women in Afghanistan have died this past week or month? I was saddened to hear how many of our Vets are committing suicide each week, and especially for those who are waiting for V.A. benefits. Shame on us.
on Nov 10, 2013 at 4:49 pm
I live in San Jose, I already come to your wonderful county fair each year, now I will start coming over for your Veterans Day parade also, it sounds great!. My city just does not care anymore. I was born and raised here and it makes me sad......
on Nov 10, 2013 at 6:46 pm
A war is an extremely traumatic event. Thousands of people worldwide have committed suicide during and after a war.
Americans have exhibited little concern for the physical and mental health needs of veterans and their families.

The few negatives I found, and believe me they are very minor in the scheme of things were as follows.
The pool areas are simply too crowded during the day. We stayed in the adult section but the pool is not well thought out. There is no swimming, but rather soaking in a small crowed area with a bunch of other adults - not very inviting. Disney should consider another adult pool in the forward section of the boat where we found lots of free space.
The elevators, though beautiful were constantly full and a waiting period was almost a certain. Perhaps a few more in the main section of the ship are needed.
There were 2 free drink stations for soft drinks, coffee etc in the stern area of deck 11, but none in the forward part of the ship - this meant a bit of a walk if you wanted to get a drink. Have 2 stations in the forward as well.
Other than these minor complaints we really cannot find anything else to complain about - the cruise was simply fantastic and we cant wait to do it again. Disney made sure everything was as smooth as silk - from the time we boarded to the time we dis-embarked, to our bus rides to and from the airport, our luggage - all went exactly as planned with little or no waiting. Well done!

It's scheduled to open in 2014, and while no official date has been released, we've already announced that LeakyCon 2014 will be there. (But don't miss 2013 in Portland; you can register right here!)
As with the first phase of WWoHP developments, details and announcements will continue to roll in over the next year, and we'll have all the information here! What are your expectations and wishes for Diagon Alley? Will we see you there in 2014?

We boarded the Azamara Journey in Barcelona. Very easy compared to the large ships that we are used to taking in Florida. Total check-in process took less than 15 minutes. Then on to board the boat. Greeted with champagne at the door. Our cabin was ready (around noon), however our bags had not been delivered.
After cruising on 35+ cruises, I would have to say this was our favorite. Small touches like the bartender always knowing your drink before dinner, never a crowd for the dining room, incredible meals, etc. The crew seemed genuinely happy, etc. So nice to not be nickel and dimed to death, like the mainstream lines. Hard to believe that Azamara was even a part of RCL...The buffet even had an upscale feel with table cloths and candles at night. The entertainment was top notch. The dancers were incredible and the cruise director, entertaining.
Our first stop on the cruise was to the island of Ibiza. Azamara arranged a 'Hippie Night' where everyone dressed in white or 60's clothing. They bused us to a beach club and served champagne and snacks for a couple of hours. They had a fashion show and played 60's music. It was so much fun.
The rest of the cruise we stopped at ports along the French Riviera. Most of them we were able to dock at, however a couple we had to tender in to shore.
The only negative to the cruise was the super-small verandah cabins. We had a balcony cabin and there was barely enough room to put away our clothes and walk around the bed. No more than one could be in the bathroom at a time. Very small shower with a curtain. I would guess that the boat was around 50 years old because of the small cabins, however it was very well maintained and clean.
We have already booked another Azamara cruise. It was a great experience and well worth paying a little extra for a more intimate cruise.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This is a great adventure route up a major corner system that eventually climbs an amazing chimney behind the obvious, large pillar in the middle of the wall. There is cruxy climbing on each of the 4 pitches, all with just enough pro to make it reasonable. But, a fall anywhere would be less than ideal! This route, like the other new routes on this wall put up over the last few seasons, serves up a healthy portion of CHOSS. But, if you're a seasoned San Juan adventurer, you should find enjoyment throughout. :O
It is about halfway between Bird Brain Boulevard and the Racing Stripes. This ascends very obvious corners leading to giant pillar on wall. See the pic.
We brought a double set of cams to a #3 Camalot, one #4, and a set of stoppers. Pins could be useful. Bring a 70m rope. Four raps gets you down with a bit of easy scrambling to reach the last rap anchor - all from stout trees. The second rap can be done with one rope, the others are all rope stretchers.

Rota-Ride Snowboard Binding
University of Colorado - Boulder, 2001 - $11,970
Snowboard bindings can strain riders' knees and cause long-term joint injury, ligament failure, and muscle stress. Releasing one's feet from a snowboard requires a twisting and kicking motion from the bindings of the board that puts significant pressure on the knees and feet. While on a lift, the weight of the boards hangs from riders' feet, causing further strain. Typical bindings also constrain snowboarders' movements on the slopes. More advanced snowboarders use various binding angles to attack different types of terrain or when playing in terrain parks, but the process requires snowboarders to remove the board and use tools to adjust the binding.
In order to make the process of adjusting bindings easier, this E-Team created the Rota-Ride Snowboard Binding, a rotating front-foot binding that allows a snowboarder to make adjustments while bound into their board, without the use of tools. The Rota-Ride rotates freely on the board, locks in a large number of positions to prevent rotation, and fastens securely. It is similar in weight, size, and flexibility to bindings currently on the market.
This E-Team consisted of four undergraduate engineering students, a business student, and a music student with experience in market analysis. They worked with an engineering professor who was the co-director of the Integrated Teaching and Learning Program.

Product Details Remember the bride of darkness with her coffin lining wedding gown? Well the devil princess claims that was her design, and how dare the bride of darkness come along and try to wear her exclusive trademark on a gown. Besides, according to the princess, that wedding gown made her butt look ridiculously big and her hips were way too wide for it. This daughter of hell doesn't like to share, so beware. She's a spoiled little devil. Her gown is made of royal red velvet, with a black coffin-lining insert in the front and center (do you have any idea how hard that is to get?) which then ties in the front like a corset and wraps behind into an elegant little bustle the princess insisted on it. Also included with this devil princess gown are two armbands which are placed around the upper arm to as to create a medieval princess sleeve effect. Of course the horned headband is included for those that aren't born with them naturally. The Devil Princess was heard saying she feels pity for those that don't real horns. Also don't forget to pair this hellishly royal costume with the perfect pair of shoes or the ruling pitchfork scepter.
