A faculty member and recent master's graduate from Old Dominion University's Creative Writing Program have won two of the three awards in the 2007 Bellingham Review literary contest.
Luisa Igloria, associate professor of English, received the 49th Parallel Poetry Prize and Natalie Diaz, who graduated in May with a master of fine arts degree, was awarded the Tobias Wolff Fiction Prize.
Both awards include a $1,000 prize and publication of the works in the journal, which is affiliated with Western Washington University.
Igloria's poem, "The Clear Bones," was one of 1,000 entries in the poetry contest. Poet Carolyne Wright, who judged the 12 finalist poems, said of Igloria's work: "This poem enacts moments of wonder enabled by a bracing intellectual curiosity, demonstrated herein explorations of relationships between the applied arts (paper-making) and the arts of divination: realms of deep relevance to writers. ..."
Igloria, who has taught at Old Dominion since 1998, also recently was selected as the 2007 winner of the James Hearst Poetry Prize for her poem, titled "Venom." Presented by North American Review, the nation's oldest literary magazine which is published by the University of Northern Iowa,
the award includes a $1,000 prize.
Diaz, who received her bachelor's degree in English from ODU in 2000 and was a four-year player for the Lady Monarchs basketball team, won Bellingham's fiction prize for her short story, "The Hooferman." Born and raised in the Fort Mojave Indian village in Needles, Calif., Diaz said the story is about a "mythological creature that is equated with the devil in my Mojave culture" and addresses "the reality of violence, evil, alienation and exile."
Diaz's story was one of more than 500 contest submissions. Judge Peter Rock said of "The Hooferman": "This story is a marvel of wonder and precision.
It cleaves to a great physicality ... and does not mistake length for profundity or power."
In June, Diaz also won the Pablo Neruda Prize in Poetry given by Nimrod International Journal of Prose and Poetry for her "No More Cake Here" and other poems. Her set of three poems was among more than 550 contest entries. As first prize winner, she receives $2,000 and a trip to the University of Tulsa, where she will give a reading and participate in a poetry workshop/conference.
Diaz also was a recent finalist in the Iowa Review fiction contest, and will have her story published in the journal.

Cutting down on response time and doing it without a cost to the taxpayers.
The new Desoto County Sheriff's Department
sub-station is in full operation in Olive Branch. It's located in the back of the Suzuki dealership
on the service road in Olive Branch, a space that was donated by Homer Skelton
Ford and an Olive Branch businessman.
The dealership is picking up the cost
of the light and water bill and the rent is free.
Rasco says, "it's one
of the things that we feel like we have to do to make sure that the people we
serve here have access instead of having to drive all the way to Hernando. Plus,
the wear and tear on our vehicles, the tires, the guys travel from olive branch
to Hernando, to come in to start work, now they just come here and check in and
get their information and go to work."
Sheriff Rasco says he would like to ultimately have substations in the west and northern and southern parts of Desoto County.

Much like the rest of the team, the Minnesota Vikings line backing core struggled mightily with inconsistencies and bad play. It seemed as if they were always a step late. Gone is the mainstay middle linebacker Ej Henderson. Finding his replacement and getting better play from the starters is something that must happen if the Vikings are to return to a good defensive team. While they did not play horribly against the run, the backers did miss assignments in inopportune times and contributed to the worst pass defense in the NFL.
52 Greenway, Chad LB 6-2 242 29
Chad Greenway is a pro bowl caliber LB and the leader of the group. The former first round pick does everything well. While his play dropped a bit this year he still performed at an above average level. Consistent and reliable if nothing else the Vikings defensive success will be directly tied to his impact from down to down. If the Vikings are to recapture the top run defense in the league he will play a vital role. Blessed with good size speed and instinct Greenway is one of the best 4-3 outside linebackers in the game. He will perform well next year.
50 Henderson, Erin LB 6-3 244 25
Henderson is the definition of a self-made linebacker. The former undrafted outside backer from Maryland took the less scenic route to the Vikings. Passed over by every team for seven rounds, Henderson decided to sign with the Vikings. He was undrafted but not short on talent. The knock on him coming out was more injury concern then anything. He made the team in his rookie season and never looked back. In his first season as a starter Henderson performed admirably. The Vikings defense as a whole spent the majority of the season out of position and Erin was no different. Going into his second season he has a few things to work on before he can become a complete player but his future is promising. Erin is one I the youngsters that Vikings fan should be excited about.
54 Brinkley, Jasper LB 6-1 252 26
Two years ago the Vikings were faced with a Dilemma (or so it seemed). . Their starting defensive end had just signed with the Falcons and the media made a huge deal about his unproven back up. It turns out the front office made the right decision by resigning Brian Robison. Jasper Brinkley is in a similar situation. Brinkley was a standout Sec linebacker coming off of an injury and Spielman took a chance. He got his chance to show his worth early in his career when EJ Henderson went down against Arizona. He played well enough to guide his defense throughout the remainder of the season and the playoffs only to see them lose the NFC championship on last second field goal. An excellent run stuffer with great size and good speed Brinkley has to improve his pass coverage like many other young linebackers in this league. Brinkley is the front runner for the middle linebacker job and I have a feeling he will do fine there.
57 Cole, Audie LB 6-5 239 23
Way back in February the Vikings coaches fell in love with Cole. Great Size and toughness with the ability to play multiple positions is his calling card. Cole is a linebacker that will succeed but will need some time to mature. He was an absolute steal in the seventh round but the expectations for this year but be tempered. Under the tutelage of Pugac and Singletary Cole will have every resource needed to become a good player.
51 Dean, Larry LB 6-0 226 23
Dean is an undersized, undrafted linebacker. He is exceptionally quick and diagnoses plays quickly. He was asked to make the jump from a FCS school so his development took a bit longer. He contributed on special teams last year and much of the same should be expected this year. He is a guy you can't count out; however so don't be surprised if you hear his name a lot this season.
59 Elimimian, Solomon LB 6-0 227 25
Elimimian is a former CFL standout known for his hitting ability and quick diagnoses. He stands a real chance of making the roster due to sheer lack of numbers. His mark will likely be made on special teams early, but he is a good player. He left for the CFL after a brief stint in the NFL to polish his game and he is back. While not common there are some successful stories similar to his. This is a name that intrigues.
59 McKenzie, Tyrone OLB 6-2 245 26
McKenzie has spent much of his brief career as a reserve. His rookie season he tore his ACL and has been a journeyman since. He is an athletic linebacker blessed with speed and agility but does not hold up well at the point of attack. His biggest obstacle will to remain healthy enough to show that he belongs
50 Mitchell, Marvin LB 6-3 249 27
Mitchell is a backup that came over from the Miami Dolphins. A former 5 star recruit, he is not short on talent. He is a veteran so he will compete for a roster spot and have an edge in the experience category.
45 Nielsen, Tyler LB 6-4 235 24
Nielsen is an Iowa product so he has a chance. Under publicized Iowa defensive players always find a way to make an impact early. He is a 235 pound linebacker with 4.5 speed that just does his job not unlike Henderson or Greenway. He is another name that should generate some intrigue throughout camp. Outside of the Top Three guys it is a wide open race for a spot.
The line backing core was not drastically upgraded if at all. In order for the unit to improve each of these individuals must show progress. The extremely young group will have to lean on Greenway's leadership early and mature rapidly. The depth doesn't seem to be up to par but a lot remains to be seen. This could be one of the weakest position groups for the Vikings.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A brazen robbery turned hostage situation turned officer involved shooting went down at a busy shopping center around 6 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The GBI confirms 20-year-old Randall Harris and Christopher Raines are the two suspects involved in the armed robbery at the Family Dollar store.
Harris is at the Dougherty County jail. Raines is in the hospital after an officer shot him. Charges are pending his medical release.The officer who shot Christopher Raines is trainee Christopher Hutcherson. Hutcherson's training officer is McKinley Windom.
Harris has been charged with Armed Robbery, Kidnapping, Aggravated Assault, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, and Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Certain Crime.
Family Dollar employee, Jamaica Jones, age 25, was the victim held hostage by Harris. "It's crazy. Really crazy that somebody thinks they can do that in broad daylight and get away," said David Williams.
He was leaving Harvey's Supermarket just a few doors down from the Family Dollar where he watched as police cornered two gunmen who had just robbed the store. But what really stood out to him was one of the robbers had a woman held at gunpoint.
"They was bringing her out over that way. She was held hostage," he said.
That hostage, a Family Dollar employee, was caught in the middle of a standoff between the robbers and police officers.
"They got that other girl who opened the safe for them and dragged her the street to that field by the church," said Yoland Mathis. Her sister was one of the store employees who witnesses the robbery.
"They gave commands for the person to lower and drop their weapons and to give themselves up. They did not do that and one of the officers opened fire on one of the suspects who was struck," said APD Chief John Proctor.
The wounded suspect took off running, but the other held onto the hostage. He finally gave into the officers demands near a church just yards away from Family Dollar and freed the woman unharmed.
The pair then split up dropping evidence along the way before eventually surrendering to police in the 1000 block of West Gordon.
Police arrested one of the suspects while the other was taken to the hospital with gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Nearby business owners say it's bizarre that this crime happened in broad daylight, but that the crime itself doesn't surprise them.
"It's shocking but yet, not surprising especially with that Family Dollar being robbed once before," said Yaz Johnson.
The GBI has been called into to investigate the officer-involved shooting, as is protocol. Chief Proctor says based on the information he was given, his officer acted appropriately.

Heath Sims wrestled at the 2000 Olympic Games and made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut two years later, facing the likes of Antonio McKee and Satoru Kitaoka in a career which saw him compete against some of the top fighters of his era in the United States and Japan.
He retired in 2006 to focus on his coaching commitments and has been the longtime trainer of former Strikeforce, Pride and UFC champion Dan Henderson since Dan's very first MMA fight in 1997. In 2011, he left his long term home of Team Quest to take up a new challenge in Asia as the head of the wrestling program at Evolve MMA.
He has been in Singapore for almost a year working with the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Shinya Aoki, Zorobabel Moreira and Leandro Issa and says that the experience has been a real eye opener for him.
"There are things which fighters in the U.S. are very strong at, wrestling for instance, but being at Evolve MMA has made me realize that camps back home are still a long way behind in terms of things like Muay Thai. Most MMA camps in the US don't have a single Thai trainer, I think its tough to get visas, but Evolve MMA has something like fifteen or twenty world champions and they are all legends back home, if you mention their names in Thailand everyone has heard of them."
Sims was one of the earlier wrestlers to turn to MMA and after representing the U.S. at the Sydney Olympics decided to become a full time professional fighter. He has also been involved with Henderson, another wrestling Olympian, since very early in his career but says he has seen a very different side to the sport since moving to Evolve MMA.
"The fighters here work on their Muay Thai every day and the Thais have so much knowledge and experience because they have all had 200-300 fights, which is something which I thought sounded crazy when they first told me. Sometimes there's not so much focus on the Muay Thai side of things in MMA but just look at how much Zoro (Zorobabel Moreira) has learned from working every day with Yo (Lamnamoon Sor Sumalee) you can see how much he has improved."
Lamnamoon won Lumpinee titles at three different weights during his career and is joined on the Evolve MMA staff by a who's-who of Muay Thai fighters including Namsaknoi Yudthagarngamtorn, Attachai Fairtex, Orono Wor Petchpun and Muangfalek Kiatvichian.
Sims says that it is the difference which working daily with Lamnamoon made to Moreira's career which really made him realize how training Muay Thai could transform a fighter, "If you look at footage of Zoro from when he first started fighting he really had no stand up at all and looked very awkward. Now he is winning fights with his low kicks and elbows and knees and even using Muay Thai sweeps to get opponent's down to the ground where he can use his BJJ, he's gone from having nothing except his BJJ to being able to finish fights standing up."
One area in which Asian MMA is definitely lagging behind the scene in the U.S. is wrestling and according to Sims, that's why he was approached by Evolve MMA owner Chatri Sityodtong.
"We spoke on the phone and he said he had something like 10 BJJ black belts, all these Muay Thai world champions and even Yodsanan who was a world champion in boxing but he thought the final piece in the puzzle was to bring in an experienced wrestling coach and that's where I came in."
Sims has settled quickly into life in Singapore and is enjoying playing his part in developing the Evolve MMA Fight Team.
"Singapore's great, the food is fantastic and I can just fly to Phuket at the weekend and go diving or surfing. With the exception of Jake Butler, fighters here don't come from an NCAA background so I am just working with them every day on the wrestling side of the game because if a fighter can handle themselves standing up, is good on the ground and can use wrestling to control where the fight takes place, then they are very difficult to beat."
At present, Eddie Ng, Leandro Issa and Shinya Aoki are all at Evolve MMA to prepare for fights at ONE FC: 'Kings & Champions' at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on April 5th and Sims has been particularly impressed by Aoki's approach to training.
"He really works hard on his striking. Sometimes if a guy is really good at one thing, like Shinya is on the ground, they will just do the bare minimum at everything else but he doesn't just train Muay Thai to set up throws or takedowns, he is training to knock you out and he really makes the most of the time he gets to spend with the Thai trainers here, he's always learning."
Singapore is at the epicentre of the recent surge in Asian MMA with ONE FC, Asia's largest MMA organization, also headquartered there and Sims has cornered fighters at events in Jakarta, Manila and Kuala Lumpur. He is excited to be a part of the scene at a time when it is growing so rapidly.
"Every time I go out with the guys on the Evolve MMA Fight Team it seems like there's an increase in people recognizing them and asking for autographs, you can really feel how MMA is growing here and it reminds me of how the UFC took off back home a few years ago."
Since Sims joined Evolve MMA his old friends Dan Henderson and Tom Lawlor have spent time training there as has his former opponent Satoru Kitaoka as well as Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren and UFC veteran Rich Franklin. He expects more top fighters from back home to make the trip to Singapore in the future because they get to experience a totally different type of training.
"The BJJ and wrestling program at Evolve is very strong but it's really the Muay Thai that takes people by surprise. Even really experienced fighters like Rich find they can learn something new because they haven't had the chance to work regularly with trainers who have 20-30 years of Muay Thai experience and have won hundreds of fights, it's not a level of coaching which is widely available in the U.S. and I talk to guys all the time who want to come out here and train."
With Dos Anjos close to contention for a UFC title and Aoki fighting for a ONE FC title on April 5th, the Evolve MMA fighters are starting to come to the forefront of the sport and Sims thinks it is only a matter of time before his team produces more champions.
"There's really nowhere else in the world like Evolve MMA, all the fighters are full-time employees and everything they need to be able to train and fight is under one roof. In the U.S., a fighter will often go one place for boxing, another for BJJ, another for strength and conditioning but here they don't need to do that. Chatri really understands the sport and there are a lot of young fighters here who are at the start of their careers, I am sure having all these BJJ champions and Muay Thai champions and boxing champions on the coaching team is going to to lead to Evolve producing a lot of MMA champions, it's just a matter of time."

If the NBA season were a basketball game, then we've just come out of the first quarter with the lead and we are getting ready for that second quarter bench play. The first quarter went something like this:
First Quarter Play by Play
Tipoff – The Visitors take the ball and run it right up our throat for an embarrassing highlight dunk and one on the first play of the game. 0 - 1 Visitors (Lakers)
Blazers with the ball come back and use most of the shot clock to get a score off and manage in the last 5 seconds to find the open man for the three ball on the outside, a staple this year. This evens the ballgame. 1 – 1 Tie (San Antonio)
The Visitors employ the old Phoenix offense and push hard on makes. They immediately drive the ball back into the paint and make our bigs endure a Posterization. 1 – 2 Visitors (Phoenix)
Portland gets the ball and puts up a quick shot mid way through the shot clock. It's rebounded by the Visitors and our defense fails to cover the penetration. Layup at the hoop for the the away team. 1 – 3 Visitors. (Utah)
This time Portland uses all of the shot clock and then some. The ball ends in Roys hands as the time runs out. He hoists a three as the 24 clock expires, swish. 2 – 3 Visitors (Houston)
Buoyed by Roy's shot the blazers get back on defense and hold the visitors to a bad shot attempt. Joel gets the rebound and the blazers are on the attack again. This time we go inside to the bigs and give it low to Aldridge who has a nice little running hook to 2. 3 – 3 Tie (Minnesota)
Aldridge plays tough D and affects the visitors shooter enough to make him miss. He also gets the rebound by quick jumping and the blazers are off and running again. Not seeing any advantages they wisely pull it back and pass the ball around the horn before it lands in Roy's hands. He does his thing, penetrates the lane and shoves a beauty up with his left hand for the deuce. 4 – 3 Portland (Orlando)
The Visitors put the ball in their star players hands. Your expecting something big to happen and it does. He passes to another player who bricks a shot. Portland gets the rebound and pushes it up quickly but instead of a fast break dunk, we get a pull up three. In again! 5 – 3 Portland (Miami)
Struggling to score as the shot clock winds down, the Visitors penetrate and get a wide open shot in the corner from their long range gunner at the end of the 24. 5 – 4 Portland (New Orleans)
Attempting to go big, Portland tries to force it down into the paint. Our bigs fail on their first and second attempts, after a couple offensive rebounds to keep the possession alive, they give it to Roy who does his thing settling the teams offense down. Step back 15 footer. 6 – 4 Portland (Minnesota)
Once again the Visitors push the ball and the tempo. Our guards just cannot keep in front of them no matter how much they try and our big men don't rotate over in time leaving them open for the easy layin. 6 – 5 Portland (Golden State)
This possession the Blazers show off their poise and control. They move the ball inside first then back out. The ball travels around the outside and then back in once again. Every player touches the ball before a wide open shot is made. It's a thing of beauty. 7 – 5 Portland (Chicago)
With the ball the visitors give it to go inside to their big man but the Blazers center is just too big in the middle and blocks the shot. With the ball back Portland puts the ball in Roy's hands who penetrates and then kicks it back out to Blake for a WIDE open 3 shot. With his percentage of late it's almost sure to go in. It does. 8 – 5 Portland (Sacramento)
Showing that the Visitors center is not over the hill and just as big as ever, he muscles his way into the paint and just abuses our big guys for the easy two handed slam that almost feels reminiscent to 17 years ago when Shaq was ripping down backboards around the league. Ouch. 8 – 6 Portland (Phoenix)
Rattled the Blazers offense looks to find it's way and struggles for most of the 24 shot clock. Blake bails them out at the buzzer with a nice little running floater over the opposing big men. They totally escaped that possession which should have been a violation. 9 – 6 Portland (Sacramento)
The defense sets up and goes right at the opponents' star player. It's clear that he wasn't expecting this and coughs up the ball. Steal! Portland pushes the ball on the 4 on 1 fast break and unselfishly all 4 players touch the ball before the trailer finishes with a stunning tomahawk dunk. 10 – 6 Portland (Miami)
The visitors once again go to their star player who is again defended well. He puts up a wild shot off the glass that rattles around and off. The big man in the middle consumes the rebound and throws it up ahead to the streaking Roy for the cherry pick lay in at the other end. 11 – 6 Portland (New Orleans)
Experience is the name of the game for the visitors on the next possession. A time out is called and they decide to settle things down and go with their veteran players. That's how you stop a team who's suddenly breaking out in a game. Unfortunately their diagramed plan of giving it to their Power Forward in the post isn't executed as smoothly as they would have hoped. Portland gets the ball back after a good team rebound. Turning the tables on them the Blazers run an almost identical play for LaMarcus Aldridge who has a sweet turn around high release shot that goes in. 12 – 6 Portland (Detroit)
It worked earlier in the game, so the visitors attempt a variation of the Phoenix run and gun offense. They push the tempo once again and put Portland back on it's defensive heels. The Blazers almost don't recover fortunately the ball bounces around the rim and Pryzbilla sucks down the rebound for the outlet to Roy. He's deceptive this one and though he move slow you can seem him going to his left and you just cannot stop him. This is what Star players are for in NBA games. He scores easily at the rim. 13 – 6 Portland (New York)
The quarter is almost to a close and Portland has dominated it for the most part. They have a little streak of 5 going and seem to slack off a bit. Their rotations are late. The players are sluggish, almost as if tired from the long haul of the first quarter. For all intensive purposes the Visitors should score, but they come up short. Their little 8 footer in the paint, a gimme really, hits the front of the rim and Portland takes it. It worked last possession so they give it back to Roy who seems to be the only player who doesn't ever seem to fatigue. He goes to the left again and just dances past the defenders for a lay in at the buzzer. 14 – 6 Portland (Washington)
That's the end of the first with Portland up 14 – 6 on the visitors. But you look at their bench and can see that they look embarrassed so far. The coach is yelling at them and you know they are going to come out to start the second quarter on fire. The muscle is inserted into the game to try and get back into it. (Boston, Toronto, Orlando and Utah in the next 7 days). Now is the time that Portland typically goes to the bench. Change the tempo and show the opponents a little different look. With any luck we can break this game open with a nice run of our own and put the game out of reach early so we can rest our guys and play the bench the last half of the game in preparation for the next game on the schedule….the Playoffs!

DERRY — Tom McCarthy stands out in a crowd and he likes it that way.
The Pinkerton Academy senior is the only male member of the school's 23-member cheer/spirit team coming off Sunday's big win at the Division 1 state varsity winter spirit team competition. It was the 16th state title Pinkerton has won and its seventh in a row.
Judy McCarthy said her 18-year-old son was a devoted soccer player until the cheering bug bit during his freshman year.
"His coach saw him tumbling in the fieldhouse after soccer practice one day and simply asked him to join the team," she said. "The girls took him in and he hasn't looked back."
Pinkerton cheer coach Michelle McCarty remembered the day she first saw Tom do a back flip.
"He was a little guy and I said 'I heard you tumble,'" she said. "He kicked off his cleats and threw a back flip for me. After that, he came to practice and he loved it."
Tom said the sport has given him a lot of great friends and many skills.
"It's a lot more than a lot of people think it is," he said.
Being a member of the spirit squad involves long practices, endurance training, gymnastics and a lot of weightlifting. Athletes must have quick reflexes, have the speed of sprinters and be expert tumblers.
A normal routine can be about three minutes long and requires the team to be in top mental and physical condition.
Some of Tom's teammates are his closest friends.
"Tom really brought cheerleading to a lot of different levels," 17-year-old Jordan Toney said of her teammate.
She met him freshman year and urged him to try out for the cheer team after she found out he excelled on the gymnastics mat.

Free "Less Lawn" Garden Tour
CLICK HERE to see photos and read descriptions of all the gardens on the tour; some also have plant lists. And CLICK HERE to see a 172-photo album of the tour by Kathy Jentz, editor of Washington Gardener Magazine.
And watch the video! It's by Marcia Van Horn, who lived in Old Greenbelt in the '80s.
The Greenbelt "Less Lawn, More Life" Garden Tour was co-sponsored by Greenbelt Homes, Inc, the Greenbelt Gardeners Yahoo Group, Greenbelt Live.com blog, where you are now, and its editor, tour organizer Susan Harris. Thanks to the Greenbelt Museum for distributing the tour brochures, and to Museum volunteer Chris Stark for printing more at his own expense!
Fifteen unique gardens in Old Greenbelt will be on a FREE TOUR this Sunday, September 15 from 1 to 5 p.m. Thirteen are small GHI gardens and two are larger, lake-view gardens just outside GHI.
All the gardens have very little or no lawn, with the space being used instead for trees, shrubs, flower borders, patios, paths and more. So bring your curiosity and notepad and take home ideas for reducing or replacing your lawn, including examples of easy ground covers.
This being early fall, it's a great time to notice design features and the all-important but not-so-flashy plants like evergreen screening and the aforementioned ground covers. You'll also discover plants that bloom in the fall, when they're most appreciated. Some of the gardeners have helpfully supplied plant lists!
Click here for all the tour information you'll need – garden descriptions, more photos, some plant lists, but with addresses being added on the day of the tour. There will also be a custom Google map available on that link on the day of the tour. Or stop by the Greenbelt Museum between 1 and 5 to pick up a printed brochure with addresses, descriptions and a map.
My garden's on the tour so I'm making excuses early and often for the newness of it and the mistakes I'll correct next year. But I bet all of us on the tour are fretting about the imperfections, and hustling all week to pretty them up. I know I am. But I know I'll enjoy the result, so it's all good.
"Less Lawn" is an important new trend in gardening, and there are lots more suggestions for reducing lawn here on the website of the Lawn Reform Coalition. Greenbelt's "Less Lawn Tour" is believed to be the first in the U.S. outside of California, where the shortage of water makes lawns a crazy choice and municipalities are paying residents to get rid of it.

I'll be there! (Fortunately, my Saturday plans changed.)
Oh, and thanks for scheduling this for a reasonable time, instead of the crack of dawn.
Do you know how much walking it will be? I have a pulled calf muscle so could do some walking but not extensive. Thanks, Etana
That was so fun! Thanks to all the organizers and hosts. The gardens were all full of personality and plenty of inspiration.
Thanks to the organizers for the wonderful(maybe perfect?) afternoon. You may wish to have the North end of town represented next year as there are gardens that way exceed the one's on the tour this year.
BTW, 58 Lakeside is beautiful but was not less lawn. it belongs on the maximum lawn, less wildlife tour. Just saying.
A belated THANK YOU for organizing this absolutely wonderful tour. I had such a good time. The refreshments were terrific! It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. I liked very much seeing the gardens over on Lakeside as I have only seen them from the lake path. It looked like there was a lot of interest as I saw many people walking around GHI with maps. Please send my belated thanks to all the persons who volunteered to share their gardens. I hope that they enjoyed the day as much as the visitors.

We're updating the Crew bios
We've started updating the Crew Bios section with all of our Kenyan team members. Mama Esther, Ibrahim and Gilbert have been added. Many more are yet to come. Thanks to everyone who helped out!
In Nightrunners, a psychological thriller, a young woman volunteering in a malaria plagued region of Kenya believes she is being terrorized by the witches known in local folklore as Nightrunners.
We've started updating the Crew Bios section with all of our Kenyan team members. Mama Esther, Ibrahim and Gilbert have been added. Many more are yet to come. Thanks to everyone who helped out!
You haven't heard from us for a while. We're sorry! But the good news is that (since we've been locked in a dark room for several weeks) we finally have a complete rough cut. Our composer is now working on the soundscape. Our editor is still tweaking. VFX quotes are coming in. And we're finally looking at when we can return to Kenya for our pickups and b-roll. Hello to all of our Kenyan friends! Congratulations on the continued success of the Little Stars students. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
Neville Misati, our male lead in Nightrunners, is heading for big things. He's one of Kenya's top young actors: talented, driven and an absolute professional. He's also… incredibly hot. Throughout filming on Nightrunners, we secretly tried to take a bad picture of him. We failed. Here's Neville at the Kisumu airport in Kenya on our final day of filming. We're all exhausted, the sun is blistering on the tarmac and Neville looks cool, calm and collected. Star quality.
Flashing back to Day One on the Nightrunners set on location in the fishing village of Rusinga Island. Look at those fresh faces. Just before the first shot of the first day, our director, Rowan Nielsen poses with our two Canadian leads, Mandi Nicholson and Grace Glowicki. Contrast those bright eyed looks with their expressions in upcoming photos from later in the shoot!
Mar 7
Another challenge while filming in rural Kenya: a power source. Most homes and businesses on Rusinga Island still don't have electricity. Generators are expensive, hard to find and very noisy. But here's a photo of our devilishly handsome and incredibly talented male lead, Neville Misati making use of the ultimate location power solution: a modified car battery! Clean, portable and quiet. Every problem really is an opportunity.
While we didn't have budget for key positions like Art Director, Script Supervisor, Hair, Makeup or an AD department, we DID have our very own On Set Medical Advisor. Here's Dr. John A Geddes showing us how to check for pupil response. Mandi was a trooper that day as she had several people poking her in the face take after take. But the scene will be amazing.
We had the privilege of filming in many incredible locations on Rusinga Island. One of our favourites was a local fishing village. We shot several scenes here both day and night and always felt welcome and safe. We've uploaded a few pics for you to enjoy.
We've been neglectful. And we're sorry. It turns out that making a movie is kind of exhausting work. Who knew?
We are back from Kenya with several hard drives worth of movie magic on our hands. Now it's all about the editing – and a little recovery, too.
Our facebook page (facebook.com/nightrunnersmovie ) has received a little bit more attention. So you can always head there and "like" us to make sure that you get the latest news at the earliest hour. But we promise to make up for the delinquency here. Pictures soon. Really.
We are thrilled to announce that Kenyan actor, Neville Misati, has joined the NIGHTRUNNERS cast in the role of MICHAEL.
Neville is a Kenyan actor/singer/voice artist and a student currently pursuing a Diploma in Mass Communication at Multimedia University Kenya. He has had the pleasure of acting in local and international television shows such as BE THE JUDGE, HIGHER LEARNING, MALI and SHUGA:LOVE,SEX & MONEY. He is also a very active theatre performer in Nairobi and was part of the cast of The Theatre Company which travelled to London for the Globe to Globe Festival with the Play, "Wanawake wa Heri wa Windsor", a Kiswahili translation of Shakespeare's, "Merry Wives of Windsor" which was also performed in India last month. Neville plans to grow and nurture his talent and the talents of many other people and showcase it to a global audience.
Calling all fans of Nightrunners! We have only 36 hours left in our crowd-funding campaign for our film. Every single dollar counts. And you're not just funding a film – you're aiding an island! Follow the link for more info. Share it. Tweet it. Email it. Just get the word out! The clock is ticking…

May was one of the warmest and driest on record in South Florida
By Eliot Kleinberg
Last month was one of the warmest and driest Mays on record, the National Weather Service's Miami office said.
May temperatures over south Florida averaged between 2 and 4 degrees above normal, warning coordination meteorologist Robert Molleda said Tuesday in a summary.
Palm Beach International Airport recorded its third warmest May on record with an average temperature of 80.4 degrees. The record is 80.8 set back in 1995.
An area of high pressure prevented significant large-scale low pressure troughs, which usually start showing up in mid-May as the rainy season starts brewing, Molleda said in the update. That meant the only rains came from clashes of sea breezes and land. Because of that, coastal areas saw less rainfall than the interior.
Over the east coast metro areas, May rainfall amounts were in the 2 to 4 inch range, ranging from as little as 1.28 inches at PBIA to as much as 7.39 in nearby Palm Beach Gardens.
Conditions also varied widely over the interior. Areas west of Lake Okeechobee got six 6 to 7 inches of rain, while Canal Point's 0.67 inches was 3.94 inches below normal and was the driest on record, going back to 1941.
The forecast is for a normal rainfall in June. But, Molleda said. "It should be noted that June is on average the wettest month of the year, and past years in which El Niño has dissipated during the early summer have produced very wet Junes. Therefore, even a "normal" June will be quite wet across South Florida."

Raiders training camp notebook (7/29/08)
Training camp notes (7/29/08)
- Wide receiver Drew Carter fought off hits from the defense and still managed to fight in the endzone for a touchdown after hauling in a toss near the goal line.
- Offensive tackle Kwame Harris worked out with the team and looked much better. He also appears to be healthy.
- Tight end Zach Miller will likely be the training camp MVP (if there is such an award). He has been snatching every catch his way as both the 'go to' guy and as JaMarcus Russell's security blanket.
- Receiver Marcel Reece worked out with his unit today and came up big by completing a goal line pass for a touchdown.
- Quarterback JaMarcus Russell was calling more audibles today. On one audibled pass play, he had the perfect read, but fullback Justin Griffith missed his assignment on Michael Huff who came clean on a safety blitz which would have sacked Russell.
- Malik Jackson laid a solid hit on Oren O'Neal who tried to block the linebacker on the play. O'Neal ended up on his backside.
- Tight end John Madsen made an acrobatic juggling grab for a sizeable completion to the dismay of the defense.
- The defense would get payback for Madsen's catch however. On the next offensive series, Isaiah Ekejiuba blew up Madsen on a dump off pass. The hit was a shoulder to midsection blow that that dropped Madsen to the turf. The loud "thud" of the impact could be heard for miles! Both players were fine afterwards.
- Tight end, right guard, and now right tackle. That's right. Fred Wakefield got in some time working out as a right tackle during line drills.
- JaMarcus Russell injured his right elbow (throwing arm) during offense/defense drills. Russell came of the field immediately after the play was over and could be seen bending over and holding the elbow. He would later be fine, but had ice applied to that elbow after practice to avoid any swelling.
- Safety Jarrod Cooper laid a big hit on rookie Darrell Strong. There was supposed to be no tackling in camp thus far. Cooper admitted that he shouldn't have done it and that he was upset that the offense had made three plays in a row against them.
- Also, regarding the 49ers coming to Napa next Monday, Jarrod Cooper called out former teammate DeShaun Foster. "I'm looking for DeShaun Foster…make sure you put that on there. We used to play together in Carolina. We used to fight all the time…I'm not looking for anyone but DeShaun Foster…that's it!"

Wright Demoted; Mark Melancon Promoted
Wright optioned to RR. Mark Melancon called up.— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) August 9, 2010
And just like that, the Astros answer the question on whether they should keep Wright in the rotation. I assume this also means Nelson Figueroa or Gustavo Chacin will slide into Wright's rotation spot. UPDATE: Literally as soon as I post this, Footer says Figueroa goes into the rotation to replace Wright.

Why Read This ReportA companywide collaboration strategy was once a nice-to-have. No more. Even in the current economic climate, 37% of organizations surveyed in Forrester's Q4 2008 enterprise and SMB software survey consider implementing a collaboration strategy important in 2009. Two broad trends are driving this: 1) There's a critical need to drive information worker efficiency and to manage the unstructured content artifacts they produce; and 2) while the value of improved collaboration is clear, the path to success has become more complex. Navigating the organizational and technical challenges that can inhibit success requires a structured approach. To that end, Forrester has developed a tool-based methodology to add a structured input to the development of an enterprise collaboration strategy.

Sherdog's Loretta Hunt breaks the deal down:
For the $650,000 price tag, HDNet will be entitled to all intellectual property, including the IFL's film, video, and image library; its five-roped competition ring and team trademarks; and proprietary rights, including its Web site. The transaction also includes any remaining broadcast contracts the IFL acquired during its two-year tenure, which includes a deal with FOX Sports Network.
An article up at Cage Potato questions as to what this acquisition could mean in terms of HDNet's desire to promote MMA:
Not that the IFL didn't put on some good fights, but how much is old fight footage really worth? With the exception of the really good bouts, watching old fights can be a lot like watching old college football games on ESPN Classic, which is to say it appeals to a very select audience, mostly the unemployed and the very, very drunk, either of whom are likely to think they're watching live TV.
But HDNet seems too savvy to pay that much for a bunch of old fights that have already been aired on Fox Sports Net and MyNetwork, not to mention spread around the internet. So what do you have up your sleeve, HDNet? Don't tell me you paid more than half a million dollars just to air Chris Horodecki highlights in between old episodes of Hogan's Heroes. All right, I admit I'd watch that.
Granted, this could be nothing more that HDNet bolstering their programming. But while Donald Trump is nothing more than a figurehead in Affliction's promotional scene, Mark Cuban is a somewhat unconventional, but extremely astute businessman who happens to own a cable network laden with MMA programming. With other would-be competitors to the UFC withering in the shadow of MMA's dominant promotion, these dying promotions' fighters may be looking for a home. Could this be Cuban's opening?
I realize that competing with the Zuffa at this point may be nearly impossible due to the strength of the UFC brand and the depth of their roster of fighters. However, keep in mind that Cuban is an agressive operator. He has spent millions in his quest to make the Dallas Mavericks a perennial title contender in the NBA. Although HDNet doesn't provide the exposure of a major network, it's still a formidable framework for getting his promotional aspirations off the ground.
Once again, this transaction may be little more than a move to strengthen HDNet's video library. With that said, a businessman in the mold of Mark Cuban could have a significant impact on MMA's promotional landscape if so inclined.


text: I recently purchased a Sony 3D LED TV from Snehanjali. At time of purchase they promised delivery within 48 hours. Quite obviously, they missed the deadline. They requested an extension of 2 days. Since I had paid the entire amount in advance, I did not have much of an option. On the 4th day after purchase, they delivered the TV, but when I observed carefully, it was obvious that it was not a fresh piece from the company. They had delivered the same piece which was up for display at their store. The remote control was damaged. When the Sony engineer came to my residence to install the TV, he realized that some screws were missing and could not complete the installation. The 3D goggles which I received with the TV were scratched, and one of them had its batteries discharged. I am going to take it up with Sony, and will file a case against the store in Consumer court.

Delaware Chancery Court very rarely, if ever, overturns a will that is contested. Even if the heir can prove undue influence they believe that testators have 'moments of clarity' and therefore can leave all their possessions to someone who was hired to care for them. Even if your parents had the same will for 60 years and suddenly in their late 80s decide to leave everything to non-family. Delawaware chancery court believes this is what they wanted. You have no idea it's happened and they make sure you never do. This includes property such as every picture of a child and their family and all family heirlooms that the undue influencer would have no possible interest in keeping. You'll find these family heirlooms sold at garage sales and on eBay.
It is YOUR responsibilty to make sure your parents are not being robbed by their hired help, having their mail sent to another address, and planning their own retirement at the detriment of your elderly parents, especially if they do not live close to you.
The economic environment has bred a type of criminal that is desperate, will stop at nothing, and knows the legal system in their state enough to be dangerous. Remember, they have all the time in the world to prepare their case for court because they know you will contest. However, YOU have nothing because you weren't aware of what was happening while your parent was alive and it's nearly impossible to recreate what happened once they've passed on. The criminal will win in every case because the Delaware chancery court judges have no balls and would rather clear their docket in one day then have you try to prove that your parent was manipulated.
You know, they could have had all the money. We just wanted our family photos, furniture, heirlooms, and our children's memories.
Please, please don't lose sight of your parents' welfare and think you've hired just the right person to care for them. They go through their mail, find out how much they are worth, and begin spinning a scenario where they will become heirs because they are the only person(s) in the world who care for your parents.

Pooja Ghai Says Daily soaps don`t interest me anymore
New Delhi: Actress Pooja Ghai, who worked in TV shows like "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kutumb" and "Kabhi Aaye Na Judai", says working in daily soaps no longer interests her, but she is open to reality shows.
It has been a while since she was seen on the small screen, but she says viewers can expect to watch her soon.
"I think once an actor , always an actor. So, I am definitely going to take more offers in future. I would not like to divulge the details right now, but I am looking at reality shows now as they are quick to shoot. I do get lot of offers, but a serial is not something I am interested in," Pooja told IANS.
The actress was also seen a small role in "I Hate Luv Storys". She says doing a TV show full-time doesn`t fit her bill at the moment.
"Daily soaps require a lot of time, so I don`t want to get into that scenario as I am running my wedding planning business also," added the actress.
She is also busy working on her first wedding exhibition under her company Tranquiil Wedding Fair, here. The three-day exposition will begin Dec 21 at the Grand Hotel.
"Tranquiil is a name in the industry known for conceptualizing the finest events and exhibitions. The platform will give customers a chance to choose from bridal wear, jewellery, wedding venues, gift supplies, floral services, beauty salons, invitation card designers, sound and light decorators, photography and even hair stylists," she said.
Apart from her professional life, Pooja is also busy bringing up her 11-year-old son Raaj, who has already started showing his inclination towards acting.
"I am 200 percent sure that he is going to be an actor. He recently performed on stage and got compliments from everyone. So, whether fortunately or unfortunately, he is getting into acting . He is so inclined to Bollywood," she said.

Linked Influence – How to Effectively Grow Your LinkedIn Network
Posted in LinkedIn, Social Networking | Posted on 02-07-2011|
I have been a member of LinkedIn for years, but I really didn't know how to use it effectively to build my business. It wasn't until a couple of months ago when my husband came across Linked Influence that everything changed.
Up to that point I had been totally overwhelmed by LinkedIn and kind of had discarded it as a tool to build my business.
BIG mistake!
LinkedIn quietly grew to 100 million strong in the shadow of Twitter and Facebook and is now the 3rd largest social network. If you take into consideration that it is also a network of professional business people with an average household income of around $110,000 then it's a no brainer that if you want to connect with professionals you really should be on LinkedIn.
Yeah, I know, it's not as easy to set up your profile like it is with Facebook or Twitter. It's also not as easy to connect with people and build those all-important relationships. I hear you. I felt the same way.
What is Linked Influence?
Linked Influence is a four module training course that teaches you everything you need to know about LinkedIn. Lewis Howes wrote two books about LinkedIn so he knows what he's talking about.
I like the step-by-step, take me by the hand and show me kind of training modules. I'm a visual person and I like to see how something is done. I also like to learn at my own pace. So this video course is perfect for me.
What You Will Discover inside of Linked Influence

Friends of ALIPAC,
We are sad to report that another Republican who we thought was on our side in Georgia is now predicting that Amnesty for illegal aliens aka "immigration reform" will pass.
Why is he making this prediction? If you read this article below, you will see that he believes you are acquiescing to Amnesty this time. He is claiming in a way that you have not heeded ALIPAC's calls to contact his office! We hope that is not true.
Please take immediate action today to correct Senator Isakson!
Sen. Isakson predicts immigration reform Amnesty will win approval
Sample Message: "I'm calling/writing Senator Isakson to tell him to oppose immigration reform Amnesty. I was shocked to see that he has forgotten the lessons of 2006, 2007 and 2010 when 2 out of 3 Americans told him NO AMNESTY or path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Senator Isakson needs to support enforcement of the immigration laws Congress has passed and stop lending his support to Amnesty. He said in the media the other day that not enough people has called to oppose Amnesty this time. We should not have to call Senator Isakson for him to oppose this push to legalize illegals. Most people thought that because he is from Georgia he had enough sense to know and it appears we were wrong.
Remember to craft your own distinct version of this message.
Remember to call, call, call.
If you support Amnesty for illegal aliens, then do not call Senator Isakson because he and the other elected officials we ask you to call will interpret your silence as support for Amnesty.
Please call now!
Senator Johnny Isakson

I called Senator Isakson's office and left him a message, then I sent him the following email. These senators need to know that Americans have NOT given up. It might appear so because mainstream media is spewing blatant lies about poll numbers and offering only the pro-amnesty side in their desperate attempt to support Obama and sell-out, traitorous "representatives" that want an amnesty for their own personal gain.
Senator Isakson,
I am one of the (still!) majority of Americans who OPPOSE amnesty in any way, shape, or form.
The gross unfairness of amnestying law breakers to allow them to legally live off of American tax breakers further than what they already do, is appalling.
Americans have NOT given up! The mainstream media is desperate and leaning hard left to propagate lies and spread misinformation. They falsify poll results or ask questions that mislead Americans to make it look as if Americans have done an about-face on amnesty. The wording is such that a compassionate American is offered the choice of either amnesty, or tearing apart families and throwing immigrants to the wolves, neither of which is even a true result or option.
Employed Americans are working harder than ever to keep our jobs and our time is so limited. I cannot leave my job to go protest at 10 am against the illegals who gather in my city, nor can the majority of taxpayers stuck supporting the growing influx of uneducated, impoverished immigrants that Democratic politicians seem to court for votes. Unemployed Americans are desperate and losing their spirits over the state of economy and theyre petrified of losing their homes. With over 22 million unemployed Americans, amnestying law breakers is like throwing fuel onto a blazing fire.
WHO do you stand for? The Americans who elected you, or the opportunistic, tax-sucking illegals who have no right whatsoever to be in MY country?

By Robin Jedlicka - bio | email LOWNDES COUNTY, GA (WALB) - Lowndes County Sheriff's officers raided a home Wednesday afternoon and recovered a massive amount of stolen goods.
Deputies arrested 28-year-old Robert Mitchell after they searched his home at 750 South Lee Street. So far, he has been charged with Theft by Receiving Stolen Property.
Investigators say Mitchell was running an elaborate DVD pirating operation. They recovered thousands of DVD's, some with pornographic content.
Investigators also recovered stolen electronics, including two computers recently stolen from Valdosta Technical College.
"We got a search warrant, which we served today, and found inside an enormous amount of computers, cameras, pirated DVD's and Cd's," says Captain Wanda Edwards of the Lowndes County Sheriffs Office. "We're still uncovering things inside."
To vehicles were also seized from Mitchell's home: a Mercedes Benz and a Cadillac Escalade. Stolen property was recovered inside each of those cars.

The perfect size and OUTSTANDING quality of pictures.
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Magnets I was nervous to order these as I had never ordered a magnet that had so much riding on it. This was our save the date and now that our guests have started receiving them in the mail I'm getting incredible comments about the quality and uniqueness of the magnet!! I would most definitely recommend these to anyone!!
Great Product
Western Charm Save the Date Magnets This was super easy to customize with my photos and chosen colors. The magnet holders were a substantial weight and held the magnets well. The overall look is just what I'm looking for. Also appreciated getting a credit for the amount I spent on my just one order to apply to my actual order.
exactly what I wanted
Different is Good! Save the Date Magnets The pictures were a little more dull then I thought, but I guess thats what its excepted. They still turned out beautiful. I wish they would have got them sooner!
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Magnets We received our save the dates yesterday and they are absolutely beautiful! The color quality is so vibrant and makes the magnets pop. The design is simple, but beautiful, and you're able to edit the design so much. I can't wait to send them out; I know everyone is going to love them!
Western Charm Save the Date Magnets Came out awesome and good price! Did not take long to come in, quick and easy.

"It's nice to see all the players coming back in the locker room, and I'm like, 'I'll see you later,' " she said.
Sharapova started early but didn't start well. She won only five points in the first four games before settling down to reach the quarterfinals at the Sony Open by beating Kirsten Flipkens 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
The world's top-ranked players had an easier time. Serena Williams eliminated fellow American CoCo Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-1. Rafael Nadal received a warning for slow play and still won in 59 minutes against Denis Istomin, 6-1, 6-0.
Sharapova, meanwhile, endured her second successive ragged three-setter and found herself trailing 4-0 after only 15 minutes.
"I usually like playing the first match, but I didn't start off the way I wanted to," she said. "Nothing was working."
Seeded No. 4, Sharapova seemed thrown off by the lack of pace from Flipkens, a tour veteran who hits floating backhands and sometimes slices her forehand as well.
"She's a different type of opponent," Sharapova said. "There are not too many girls that hit a slice backhand 90 per cent of the time in the rallies. But I know what to expect from her game. It shouldn't be a surprise."
Sharapova finished with 36 unforced errors and only 13 winners. She also double-faulted 10 times.
Williams seems to be gaining momentum as the tournament unfolds, as usual. She overcame sloppy patches in her first two matches and committed only one unforced error in the second set against Vandeweghe.
But Williams was impressed with the 22-year-old American, and told her so when they met at the net after the match.
"She said, 'Listen, you played so well. We've got to play doubles. We'd do so well,"' Vandeweghe said.
Williams next plays No. 5-seeded Angelique Kerber, who beat Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. No. 8 Petra Kvitova rallied past No. 12 Ana Ivanovic, who double-faulted nine times in the final two sets and lost 3-6, 6-0, 6-0.
In men's third-round play, No. 10 seed John Isner, the only American to reach the men's third round, hit 17 aces and beat Nicolas Almagro 7-5, 6-3.
No. 22-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov rallied from a break down in the final set to beat Dusan Lajovic 3-6, 6-0, 7-6 (5).

Only 6 games on tonight. The Thunder and Cavs have already started by now, same goes for Bobcats and Raptors. If any of you are watching basketball tonight it's probably going to be the Milwaukee/Boston game (obligatory fuck Rondo.) at 6:00pmET (or 5:00pmCT.) The Bucks gave the 76'ers a beating last night, the Celtics got a day of rest (Ironically, after a loss to Philadelphia) Should be fun.
Derrick Rose Theme song! (Page filler)
I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel
I can roll, I can feel
And you can't stop me turning
Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun
I can move, I can run
But you'll never stop me burning
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someones screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

BC Transit launches schedules on Google Maps
BC Transit has released its full transit schedule for Greater Victoria on Google Maps, a popular tool used by transit networks from around the world.
The Google Maps transit feature allows transit users to enter a starting and ending location for travel. The system then calculates the most appropriate bus route (or routes) together with the estimated trip time. A detailed travel map, including walking directions to and from bus stops at either end, is displayed.
To illustrate just how easy to use Google Maps transit scheduling is compared to traditional electronic scheduling available on BC Transit's website, a user selects Google Maps' "get directions" feature, and clicks the "transit" button. The user then inputs a starting location (which can be their home, place of work, a bus stop, etc.). We'll use 560 Johnson Street for this example, and a final destination of 1068 Tolmie Avenue, with a desired departure time of 11AM. Plugging this in, Google Maps instantaneously displays travel information as follows:
- From 560 Johnson Street, walk to southbound Wharf Street (About 2 mins)
- Take #6 bus towards north (11:06AM)
- 17 mins, 16 stops
- Get off bus at Quadra and Tolmie
- Walk to destination (about 2 mins)
The above information is also clearly represented by the map, showing the best walking route to and from both bus stops.
Mobile devices can also plug in to the Google Maps system and receive transit directions while on the go. Coupled with location capabilities that many modern mobile devices feature, Google Maps can immediately ascertain where an individual is and which nearby transit routes will best accommodate their travel plans.
The transit tool on Google Maps for Victoria is not yet fully integrated with all features available to transit users in other cities, such as displaying routes and bus stops without first entering travel coordinates, although this and other features will surely be rolled out over time. VV

I have more info pertaining to the discussion on commuter trains being "pushed" not pulled and when seen on the tracks appearing to be moving away from a subject but actually moving towards them.
I was just in Chicago and learned that Metra, the commuter rail operator, pushes trains at upwards of 72 miles per hour, or over 110km/h. Pushed trains keep the diesel engines from polluting stations, apparently.
Just thought I'd post an update as we were uncertain of the details during the discussion.

Quote: Finally, if you stink - like don't wash yourself or wash your clothes - there should be a $25 surtax on your fare.
Well, "$25 surtax on your fare" seems excessive. But as an annual surcharge the concept has merit. How about a $25/year label pin, perhaps labelled "
But I'd expect that to also apply to those with 3rd hand smoke odour (clothing that reeks of rancid tobacco tars) and any passengers who use perfumes and scented soaps.
ps. Naturally those below the poverty line would be exempt or pay a more nominal charge for their lapel pin as they cannot readily afford even $25/year, and perhaps cannot readily afford to keep clean or wear freshly laundered clothes (or avoid smoking).

I suppose passengers or drivers noticed someone pointing a gun at the buses. Otherwise would you be able to even hear a pellet round hitting a moving bus?
VICTORIA – BC Transit is working in conjunction with Sooke RCMP after buses were struck by what investigators believe are pellets from an air gun. The five incidents - from October 31 to November 5, 2013 - occurred between 5 pm – 8 pm on Sooke Road or West Coast Road.
There have been no injuries as a result of the five incidents.
"Safety is BC Transit's core value," said Stephen Anderson, BC Transit Manager of Safety and Security. "We are working closely with the RCMP to ensure these senseless acts come to an end."
"This is a public safety issue," said Staff Sgt. Stephen Wright Sooke RCMP. "There are risks to pedestrians, motorists and passengers. The person responsible could be facing charges under the criminal code."
BC Transit encourages anyone who has knowledge of these suspected pellet gun incidents to contact the Sooke RCMP non-emergency number at 250.642.5241 or Crimestoppers 1.800.222.8477.

Quote: I suppose passengers or drivers noticed someone pointing a gun at the buses. Otherwise would you be able to even hear a pellet round hitting a moving bus?
You'd hear it hitting the more hollow metal panels easily enough, perhaps not near where they're tight mounted to struts. You might hear a lesser sound from impact with the glass (I'd expect the glass to chip some of the time), for sure if you were a passenger and the pellet struck the glass only a foot or so from your head.
I'd assume someone just might have been noticing fresh pellet damage to the buses as confirmation (they're not certain of the location which suggests to me 'after the fact' investigation/evidence noticing).
editted to add: OK, now I'm feeling an urge to don a bullet proof vest and bullet resistant headgear when boarding B.C. Transit.

Research Summary
Using complement as a model system we apply ideas and methods embodied in engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, and other fields to address today's challenges in biomedical research.
The complement system has been long appreciated as a major effector arm of the innate immune response. It consists of a complex group of serum proteins and glycoproteins and soluble or membrane-bound receptors, which play an important role in host defense against infection. Complement, a phylogenetically conserved arm of innate immunity, functions together with the adaptive immune response by serving as an important inflammatory mediator of antigen-antibody interactions. It also provides an interface between the innate and adaptive immune response by contributing to the enhancement of the humoral response mounted against specific antigens.
In an era that nurtures the integrated study of biological systems as the prevalent concept in contemporary scientific thinking, complement research is being revisited and our current knowledge of this innate immune system is enriched by findings that point to novel functions that do not strictly correlate with immunological defense and surveillance, immune modulation or inflammation.
Departing from traditional hallmarks of molecular biology such as the genome and the transcriptome and beginning to appreciate more the "proteome" as the dynamic expression profile and unique 'fingerprint' of all organisms, novel associations between biochemical pathways and apparently unrelated biological processes are constantly revealed. In this respect, recent evidence produced by our laboratory (and others) suggests that complement components can modulate diverse biological processes by closely interacting with other intra- and intercellular networks.
Furthermore, the structure and functions of several complement proteins as well as the protein-protein interactions that underlie these functions are now being investigated with the aid of cross-disciplinary approaches ranging from mathematics and biophysics to comparative phylogenesis, in silico studies, mimetics and proteomics. Our laboratory, extending its research beyond the scope of traditional complement pathobiology, has embraced this global and combinatorial approach to biomedical research and has been actively engaged in defining the function of complement proteins in several biological contexts and pathophysiological states.
Our current research efforts focus on the structural-functional aspects of protein-protein interactions and the rational design of small-size complement inhibitors. We also study the viral molecular mimicry and immune evasion strategies, as well as the evolution of complement biology. In addition we study the involvement of various complement components with developmental pathways and the role of complement in tissue regeneration, early hematopoietic development and cancer.

Who are your style icons…just for fun!
- Posted 3 months ago by mrs-sawyertobe

I really love these Kennedy Blue dresses from online. Has anyone ordered them for their maids?
My maids are wearing these! We're doing a mix of the tea-length, everyone has a different style top but they are all in the peacock color. We are just order them now, so I don't have much to say yet!
Ohhh you should let me know how you like them when your order comes in. They are so pretty!
We did get to visit St. Paul and try them on in the store! I thought the fabric was really high quality for the price. It's flowy and soft.
And the peacock color is darker than what it looks like on the website. We also really like the mint, which is more light blue than it looks.
The mint colour is what I was thinking of ordering for my girls too!
My BMs are ordering a mix of those two exact dresses in the picture, same color and style. I told all of them about the try before you buy option, but nobody has ordered a sample yet. I can't wait to see them in person. Anyone have pics of these dresses on real life BMs?
Just ordered these this weekend for my bridesmaids! I went to their shop in Minnesota. FYI, they just came out with two new styles for the chiffon dresses – a halter and scope-neck with straps. The halter especially is awesome! I don't think they are on the website yet.
We're going with the peacock color. It's even better in person. I highly recommend!
ohh! can anybody who has seen them in person comment on the blush color that they have available? is it a really light faded pink? or more of a colorful baby pink?
thanks in advance!
@pandake: I've seen the blush color in-person. It is a very lgiht faded pink. The coral is brighter, more "colorful."
If you contact them, I think they will send your a swatch. They sent me one for peacock. Good luck!

The film had a limited theatrical release in April, via CodeBlack Entertainment and its partnership with AMC theaters, grossing around $1.2 million domestically.
On the 7th Day centers on a husband and wife who find themselves in the midst of a crisis, when their young daughter is kidnapped. The kidnapper is supposedly a serial killer who murders his victims "On the 7th Day," hence the title. As you'd expect, during their search for their daughter, secrets are revealed that put the marriage and their daughter's life in jeopardy.

I. love. Aunjanue Ellis. Period. One of the most underrated actresses ever. Does not work enough, or maybe I'm going to the wrong movies. Had a played my cards right on the downtown 6 train in Harlem many years ago, I might be Mr. Aunjanue Ellis today...as it is, I'll check her out in this movie...
