Mobile money services for the unbanked, popular in emerging markets, are showing both much faster adoption than m-wallets and related services addressing those with a bank account and a steeper revenue curve. Mobile payments are becoming increasingly integrated into a broader range of mobile services. Furthermore, services such as marketing, advertising, loyalty cards, coupons and discounts are also becoming part of the broader 'mobile wallet'. Operators in developed markets need to make a long-term commitment to the mobile payment opportunity and have access to large financial reserves to be able to reap long-term benefits. While adoption of NFC-capable mobile devices and readers is finally showing real growth, we believe that mobile operators still face major challenges in mobile contactless payments.
In From Digital Content to M-Wallets: M-Payment Strategies for Operators, we critically assess mobile operators' involvement in the m-payment value chain and the opportunity that this ecosystem presents for them. The analysis has been structured around 10 operator case studies, each outlining the elements of success or failure of particular mobile payment strategies implemented by service providers in markets worldwide. In addition to examining the m-payment business models adopted by service providers in different geographies, we provide an overview of cutting-edge m-payment services launched by financial institutions, Google and other entities, and assess their effect on the position of service providers in the m-payment value chain.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a surprise move with election-year implications, the Obama administration's top health official overruled her own drug regulators and stopped the Plan B morning-after pill from moving onto drugstore shelves next to the condoms.If you didn't read the original story, you can do so here.
The decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius means the Plan B One-Step emergency contraceptive will remain behind pharmacy counters, as it is sold today — available without a prescription only to those 17 and older who can prove their age.
The Food and Drug Administration was preparing to lift the age limit on Wednesday and allow younger teens, who today must get a prescription, to buy it without restriction. That would have made Plan B the nation's first over-the-counter emergency contraceptive, a pill that can prevent pregnancy if taken soon enough after unprotected sex.
But Sebelius intervened at the eleventh hour and overruled FDA, deciding that young girls shouldn't be able to buy the pill on their own — especially since some girls as young as 11 are physically capable of bearing children.
"It is common knowledge that there are significant cognitive and behavioral differences between older adolescent girls and the youngest girls of reproductive age," Sebelius said. "I do not believe enough data were presented to support the application to make Plan B One-Step available over the counter for all girls of reproductive age."

Snake-Columbia shrub steppe
Sheldon NWR, Nevada, USA Photograph by John Morrison
The Snake/Columbia Shrub Steppe is a vast, mostly arid ecoregion. Its easternmost limit is the Continental Divide in eastern Idaho. From there, the ecoregion follows the arc of the Snake River Plain as far as Hell's Canyon. The ecoregion then spreads throughout southeastern Oregon, extending along the Deschutes River basin to the Columbia River. It also includes, following hydrographic lines, parts of northern Nevada and the extreme northeast of California. To the north, the ecoregion dominates the western portion of the Columbia Basin in Washington.
The ecoregion is largely in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and thus receives little precipitation. Latitude and physiography are influential factors in distinguishing this ecoregion from other similar ecoregions, such as the Wyoming Basin shrub steppe and Great Basin shrub steppe. The Snake/Columbia Shrub Steppe is lower in elevation than the Wyoming Basin, and the two are separated by mountainous areas.
Biological Distinctiveness
The dominant vegetation in the ecoregion is sagebrush (Artemisia spp.), typically associated with various wheatgrasses (Agropyron spp.), Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis) or other perennial bunchgrasses. The ecoregion contains a number of isolated mountain ranges in the southern parts of Idaho and Oregon, and here the sagebrush shrublands grade into bunchgrasses and juniper woodlands. Some parts of these ranges contain areas of Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii), subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa), and aspen (Populus tremuloides). Riparian zones in the ecoregion typically contain cottonwoods (Populus spp.) and willows (Salix spp.). The ecoregion exhibits more desert-like vegetation in southeastern Oregon, where elevation is considerably higher and precipitation lower. The same area, however, contains extensive wetlands, which provide vital waterfowl habitat in the Pacific Flyway.
The Great Basin is hotter and drier than the Snake/Columbia, lacks distinct major watersheds, and exhibits vegetation associations indicative of its proximity to true desert ecoregions like the Mojave desert. The ecoregion lacks the floristic diversity found in the Great Basin ecoregion. Situated as it is in a distinct major river system with consistent climatic and physiographic features, the Snake/Columbia ecoregion forms a logical single unit.
Fire, grazing, and variations in precipitation and temperature are the major disturbances in the ecoregion. Burning may encourage grass growth and impede sagebrush. Sagebrush, on the other hand, adapts to drought conditions that kill grasses.
The Owyhee drainage (SW Idaho and SE Oregon) once supported salmon runs, making it one of the few high desert anadromous spawning areas.
Conservation Status
Habitat Loss and Degradation
Overgrazing by domestic livestock, fire suppression and resultant high-intensity blazes, and spread of exotic grasses are the major anthropogenic changes to the ecoregion. Loss of perennial grasses is a major problem in this ecoregion. Irrigation in the Washington and Idaho portions of the ecoregion have also caused major changes and have encouraged the spread of exotic species. The loss of bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum) communities in the Owyhee Uplands portion of the ecoregion due to overgrazing in arid conditions.
Remaining Blocks of Intact Habitat
Large intact areas, though degraded by overgrazing and exotic grass invasion, remain in southwestern Idaho, southeastern Oregon, and northwestern Nevada. Defense installations, such as the Yakima Firing Range and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, also protect extensive habitat areas in Washington.
Degree of Fragmentation
Conversion of native habitat to agriculture, particularly in eastern Idaho and in Washington, are major sources of fragmentation. Exotic grass and noxious weed invasions are likewise becoming serious enough to cause fragmentation.
Degree of Protection
Defense installations, National Wildlife Refuges, National Monuments, and Wilderness Study Areas provide a fair degree of protection. However, without control of exotic grass and noxious weed invasions, protected areas may have a limited benefit in the long run. Important protected areas include:
- Yakima Firing Range - southern central Washington
- Hanford Reservation - southern central Washington
- Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge - southern Oregon
- Malheur National Wildlife Refuge - southeastern central Oregon
- Craters of the Moon National Monument - southern Idaho
- Birch Creek Fen Preserve (TNC)
- Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge - northwestern Nevada
Types and Severity of Threats
Livestock grazing, invasion of exotic plants, irrigated agriculture, and recreation, especially through use of offroad vehicles, are the major threats to the ecological integrity of this ecoregion. As there are no highly effective methods for checking or reversing the tide of exotic and noxious plant invasions, the spread of these species and consequent elimination of native plant communities is a serious threat. Combined with overgrazing and continued conversion to row crops, the ecoregion may be seriously altered and degraded in the near future.
Suite of Priority Activities to Enhance Biodiversity Conservation
- Timely designation of wilderness study areas as actual wilderness areas is a high priority.
- As defense installations are phased out, it will be important to maintain these sites as protected areas.
- Targeting specific sites and vegetation communities for protection from severe overgrazing will also be vital.
- Developing effective techniques for combating invasive species is a high priority as well.
- Restoration of salmon fisheries is an interesting prospect that could have major implications for certain systems within the ecoregion.
- Major reductions in livestock grazing on public lands are urgently needed.
Conservation Partners
- Idaho Conservation League
- Oregon Wildlife Federation
- Oregon Natural Desert Association
- Oregon Natural Resources Council

I recently enjoyed this interview of pastor and theologian Sinclair Ferguson. I found the themes discussed to be very interesting and I appreciated, for the most part, his perspective (I say "for the most part" because I do not advocate infant baptism). I am not sure how long the interview is. It may be 30 to 45 minutes, I wasn't watching the clock. If you are too busy to give sustained attention to all of it, I would recommend at least watching or listening to the first 10 or 15 minutes. I would also love to hear your thoughts about what he had to say.
June 22nd, 2011 Interview with Sinclair Ferguson and Chris Larson from Ligonier Ministries.
Particularly interesting to me are his statements about raising up leaders, I always love when some one way more intelligent and accomplished then I ever will be, responds to something the same way I would. Makes me think I may not be crazy after all.
I also think his perspective on mentoring in the local church (which is what the primary theme of the interview seems to be) to be profoundly relevant and valuable for the podcast generation of believers (which is a group I place myself in).
His comments at the end of the interview about parenting provoked the question in my mind about the old PK conundrum. If God is keeping his covenant with the children of believers who bring their kids to them, why do we see such a departure of children from the faith today, even in the families of good and faithful pastors? I have no answers. And please don't think I am attacking pastors or people in ministry. As a man who would love someday to work in fulltime ministry on some level, I find nothing more terrifying than the statistics and experiences I have heard and had in this area. It is nearly enough to deter me from going into ministry for the sake of the spiritual well being of my children. The reality is that weather one is in some form of ministry or not makes little difference today. Young people are abandoning the church in droves. Am I the only one who finds this disturbing?
What, if anything, did you find interesting about the interview? What stood out most and why?

Report from Eurasian Women Leaders Conference: Promoting Greater Civic Engagement and Political Participation Amongst Women & Yo
I have pasted portions of my report on the strategy session: Promoting Greater Civic Engagement and Political Participation Amongst Women & Youth, that was conducted at the Vital Voices of Eurasia: A Leadership Summit for Women and Girls, October 17th.
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
Promoting Greater Civic Engagement and Political Participation Amongst Women & Youth
Issue to be Addressed
How women from Eurasia can come together to promote greater civic engagement and political participation amongst women and youth.
Solutions Identified
-Building networks of women leaders to provide support and guidance for their peers
-Bringing media attention to influential women in public life to increase their visibility and supply younger generations with role models
-Organizing local awareness-building gatherings to bring knowledge regarding the political process to women, youth, and underrepresented demographics.
-Promoting girls' participation in student government structures at an early age
-Setting up mentorship programs for women and youth to expose them to politics and guide them through the processes of seeking public office (participants believe that girls should begin the mentoring process in their early teens)
-Holding international and regional conferences that put women professionals in contact with NGO leaders and political leaders, providing them with inspiration and networking opportunities as well as practical training.
-Passing legislation to provide for city/county youth councils to allow for greater youth activism.
-Forming women's committees at the local, regional, national levels to inspire women's engagement.
-Making government documents and laws widely accessible by way of the internet to allow for a greater percentage of the population to become aware of their rights and the current political situation in their countries
Major Challenges of Implementing Solutions
-Women in Eurasia often feel as though they have to choose between family obligations and their career
-Cultural stereotypes deter young women from investing in their potential ability as leaders in politics and civil society
-The education system does not encourage political participation, making it difficult for girls to understand how they can get involved.
-Brain drain- Many of the women and youth who would be qualified to hold leadership positions in their home countries seek employment opportunities abroad
-Internal hierarchies present in government bodies deter women leaders from entering political sphere- these women often engage in civil society leadership because they feel that it is easier for them to advance
Best Practices for Identifying the Challenges
-One may evaluate the challenges women face in their efforts to fill leadership positions in government by looking at statistics of how many women are represented at the local, regional, national level and by reflecting on the trends of upward mobility (i.e.-how many women leaders at the local level move on to hold positions at the regional level, etc.)
Opportunities for Building on Successes
- Women and youth are typically very active in local community life (ex. School, market places and local communities) and have a unique view of the community. For this reason, they are well suited to fill decision-making positions
-The region has witnessed a rise in women's leadership within the civil society sector. If given the proper training, many of these women would be qualified to hold political positions.
Key Partners or stakeholders needed to implement this follow-up Project
-Political leaders
-Non-governmental organizations with an interest in promoting women's leadership in the political sphere
-Educational Institutions
Communication Strategy- how engage decision makers and media
-Using established female leaders throughout the region to leverage interest in rising female voices.

Bitter Greens
A lovely stew of sex, fairytales and, well, sex really. THE AGE. An exquisite rendering of the story behind the Rapunzel fairy tale.
A lovely stew of sex, fairytales and, well, sex really. THE AGE. An exquisite rendering of the story behind the Rapunzel fairy tale.
Charlotte-Rose de la Force has been banished from the court of Versailles by the Sun King, Louis XIV, after a series of scandalous love affairs. She is comforted by an old nun, Sœur Seraphina, who tells her the tale of a young girl who, a hundred years earlier, is sold by her parents for a handful of Bitter Greens ...
After Margherita's father steals a handful of parsley, wintercress and rapunzel from the walled garden of the courtesan Selena Leonelli, he is threatened with having both hands cut off ... unless he and his wife give away their little girl.
Selena is the famous red-haired muse of the artist Tiziano, first painted by him in 1512 and still inspiring him at the time of his death, sixty-four years later. Called La Strega Bella, Selena is at the centre of Renaissance life in Venice, a world of beauty and danger, seduction and betrayal, love and superstition.
Locked away in a tower, growing to womanhood, Margherita sings in the hope that someone will hear her. One day, a young man does ...
Three women, three lives, three stories, braided together to create a compelling tale of desire, obsession, black magic and the redemptive power of love.

I was completely hooked by the intertwined stories! I eagerly devoured this whole book, loving the language, the scenery and the characters with all the flaws. Filled with striking human emotion and characters you fall in love with.
Editorial Reviews
"A lovely stew of sex, fairytales and, well, sex really. Forsyth does a masterly job in controlling her story of of lesbian nuns, witches and palace intrigues. Telling the story of Rapunzel and its attendant themes from several viewpoints, she has created a darkly compelling novel, which simply seethes with sex scenes." - Dianne Dempsey, The Age
"Threads of history and folklore are richly intertwined to form this spellbinding story. Kate Forsyth has excelled herself with Bitter Greens. Compulsively unputtdownable." - Juliet Marillier
"Surrender yourself to a master storyteller ... Bitter Greens is a complex, dazzling achievement." - Susan Vreeland
"Kate Forsyth's love of language, history and storytelling is evident in Bitter Greens, a magnificent reworking of the fairytale Rapunzel.This is much more than a historical romance - it is a story that celebrates women throughout the ages who have refused to be bound by the trappings of their era. Forsyth has an extraordinary imagination and has created something deliciously new out of an old favourite." - Bec Kavanagh, Australian Bookseller + Publisher
"Bitter Greens is one of those rare and delightful books that transcends genre, truly original in scope and invention and showing a writer in mature and full command of her material." - Jean Bedford, The Newtown Review of Books
"This book, which follows three women – Charlotte-Rose, the witch or La Strega, and young Margherita, the girl who is imprisoned in a tower on the Rock of Manerba – is astonishing in its richness and detail. Interwoven with history, fantasy, breathtaking romance and magic, I became as bewitched as Petrosinella at the raw beauty of Bitter Greens.
Kate Forsyth travelled to Paris, Gascony, Venice and the Italian Lakes in search of inspiration for this novel, and she found it. The depth and scope of the research she undertook to pen this tome is quite mind-boggling and it's clear this author – who is currently completing a doctorate in fairytale retellings – has an abiding passion for history and magic – a delicious and palpable combination.
Set over 200 years, this is a story of love at its outer reaches. It is a story of the power within – of woeful failure and glorious achievement. It is resplendent with human frailty, cruelty and beauty. If books were the notes of a violin, Bitter Greens would be the highest soaring note – the one that brings goosebumps to the skin and swells the heart with passion.
Forsyth's language and skill for visual and emotional evocation is truly divine – and her cast of characters – both real and imagined – is like manna from heaven. It is an indulgent pleasure to read her beautifully-crafted words, and to be swept into another time and place – so willingly." - Tania McCartney, Australian Women Online
"Kate Forsyth has found a stash somewhere of just such live, enterprising threads. Her new book for adult readers, Bitter Greens, is a turf-to-tower-window braid of live, red-gold hair. It's a big, glorious read, full of love, lust, pain, politics, blood red and blue, and some of the best frocks and the worst fleas ever." - Margo Lanagan, Australian Women Writers
"A must for all lovers of historical fiction - Philippa Gregory watch out!" - Pamela Freeman
"Skilfully weaving a delicious, disturbing braid of richly multi-coloured story, Kate Forsyth's Bitter Greens grippingly brings to life a world of magic, corruption, cruelty, and love, spanning two centuries and three very different main characters. Evoking the thrilling and terrifying atmosphere of the Sun-King's court through the eyes of clever, wild French writer Charlotte-Rose de la Force, whose noble birth does not protect her from the risks she takes daily, the novel also plunges the reader into the fascinating and sinister world of the Venetian courtesan Selena Leonelli and the sad, lonely life of her young prisoner, Margherita, shut up in a tower. Each of these very different women has been hurt by the past; each is striving to make a place for herself in a dangerous time; but it is the telling of the tale of Margherita, the youngest and sweetest, which will change everything for desperate Charlotte and cruel Selena, giving them both another chance, two hundred years apart..." - Sophie Masson
"The stories of Charlotte-Rose, Margherita and Selena are skilfully woven together to create a captivating blend of history and fantasy. Highly recommended for fans of Philippa Gregory and Juliet Marillier, Bitter Greens is a tale of romance and intrigue, seduction and superstition, obsession and betrayal and… I could keep going forever. This book really has a little bit of everything and more besides. It's a fairytale for grown-ups, a lavish three-course meal for the imagination." - Sarah McDuling, Booktopia Blog

Scorpion man
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2007)
|Wikimedia Commons has media related to Scorpion men.
Scorpion Men are featured in several Akkadian language myths, including the Enûma Elish and the Babylonian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh. They were also known as aqrabuamelu or girtablilu. The Scorpion Men are described to have the head, torso, and arms of a man and the body of a scorpion.
They were first created by the Tiamat in order to wage war against the younger gods for the betrayal of her mate Apsu. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, they stand guard outside the gates of the sun god Shamash at the mountains of Mashu. These give entrance to Kurnugi, the land of darkness. The scorpion men open the doors for Shamash as he travels out each day, and close the doors after him when he returns to the underworld at night. They also warn travellers of the danger that lies beyond their post. Their heads touch the sky, their "terror is awesome" and their "glance is death". This meeting of Gilgameš, on his way to Ūta-napišti, with the Scorpion-folk guarding the entrance to the tunnel is described in Iškār Gilgāmeš, tablet IX, lines 47-81.[1]
One famous image found on a relief carving pictures a scorpion man aiming with a bow and arrow. This relief was the basis for the Scorpion Man figurine that is #55 in the Monster in My Pocket series.
Comparative mythology and religions[edit]
The scorpion is likewise a magical guard to an entrance among, e.g., the Mekeo of Papua -- "a scorpion charm is used to protect ... your house."[2]
According to Aztec legend such beings were called Tzitzimime, spirits of defeated gods cast out of the sky after they destroyed the sacred grove of fruit trees. A pair of blue anthropomorphic creatures, one with arms and tail of a scorpion decorate the pillars in the "Star-Chamber" at the Cacaxtla archeological site southeast of Mexico City. A reproduction of the murals can be seen at the National Museum of Anthropology.
In popular culture[edit]
- Scorpion Men feature as powerful myth units for the Egyptians in the game Age of Mythology. It can sting human soldier units for extra damage in a short interval. The stinging action will repeat once in about 15 seconds making them devastators for human armies. The Scorpion Men are associated with Nephthys.
- The role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons features centauric scorpion-men called Stingers, normally found in desert locales and devoted to gods of the waste, often those reflecting the Pharaonic or Babylonian pantheons.
- In the Serious Sam series, an enemy named Arachnoid resembles an armed Scorpion Man.
- In Warlords Battlecry III, scorpion-people are the primary servants of Melkor, the Lord of Famine.
- In The Mummy Returns, Mathayus the Scorpion King is shown as a Scorpion Man.
- Scorpion Men are found in the world of Glorantha by Greg Stafford. A Scorpion Man features in one of the Beast Quest books.
- In The Secret Saturdays, the character Baron Finster has a robotic scorpion for a lower body. Other concepts in the show also reference Mesopotamian myth.
- In Blood Brothers, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, the familiar Girtablilu has a scorpion for a lower body.
- In Shantae, there are Scorpion Men enemies of male and female genders.
- In Legends of Chima, Scutter of the Scorpion Tribe is shown to have an appearance that is similar to a Scorpion Man.
- In Bravely Default, a summon named Girtablulu represents the power of earth incarnate and appears as a massive scorpion.

"My Scottish Borders"
M is for:
The story of 'Muckle Mou'd Meg' is told in the ballad "The Fray of Elibank" by Borders poet James Hogg.
Sir William Scott of Harden (an ancestor of writer Sir Walter Scott) was captured on a raid to the Murray stronghold of Elibank Castle above the River Tweed,
Soon weapons were clashing, an' fire was flashing,
An' red ran the bluid down the Ashiesteel brae:
The parties were shouting, the kye they were rowting,
An' rattling an' galloping aff frae the fray
[kye - cattle]
William was given the choice of being hanged or marrying the Laird's notoriously plain daughter Muckle Mou'd Meg' (big mouthed Meg). He decided on marriage!
Now Meg was but thin, an her nose it was lang,
An'her mou it was muckle as ane could weel be;
Her een they were gray, an her colour was wan
But her nature was generous, gentle, and free.
Her een they were gray, an her colour was wan
But her nature was generous, gentle, and free.
"My Meg, I assure you, is better than bonnie;
I rede you, in choicing let prudence decide;
Then say which ye will; ye are welcome to ony;
See, there is your coffin, or there is your bride."
He fand the last gleam of his hope was a fadin
The green braes o Harden nae mair he wad see.
The coffin was there, which he soon must be laid in;
His proud heart was humbled,—he fell on his knee
So Willie took Meg to the forest sae fair,
An' they lived a most happy an' social life;
The langer he kend her, he lo'ed her the mair,
For a prudent, a virtuous, and honourable wife.
The small town of MELROSE is noted for its famous abbey, as the home of 19th century writer Sir Walter Scott at nearby Abbotsford, the birthplace of the game of Rugby Sevens, and a winner of Beautiful Scotland in Bloom.
Nestling under the triple Eildon Hills, it on the route of several long distance walks - the Border Abbeys Way, St. Cuthbert's Way and the Southern Upland Way.

Melrose Abbey, founded in 1136 by David I, was the first monastery of the Cistercian order established in Scotland. The heart of King Robert the Bruce is said to be buried there. The exterior of this ruin is decorated by unusual sculptures, including hobgoblins, cooks with ladles and a bagpipe playing pig.

Teen Wolf Review: Dancing With Wolvesby Dan Forcella at . Comments
Teen Wolf dances are always epic. While "Formality" did not showcase Scott in a white suit going full wolf, like in the original movie, it certainly had enough excitement to keep the audience wanting more from the MTV series.
But, seriously, there was not a single person doing the patented Teen Wolf dance move? What a waste!
Let's take a look at some of the highlights from the dance itself. First and foremost, there was Stiles getting Lydia to dance with him by spewing out a number of compliments, including the fact that she would someday win the Nobel Prize for Mathematics. It's great to see him get the girl, even if it was only for a few songs.
Then, there was Scott's interesting strategy to stay at the dance. Grooving with his gay friend so that the Coach will not want to look like a homophobic jerk? Difficult to pull off, but Scott backed his way into that one nicely.
Finally, there was Jackson in all of his drunken bliss, leaving the dance and heading out to the woods, where he proclaimed his desire to be a werewolf to who he thought was the Alpha. When it turned out to be Chris Argent, the poor child spilled all the beans.I continue to love Jackson's arrogant humor, but he continues to fall deeper and deeper into the depths of evil. It's difficult seeing him recover from all of this.
Chris finding Scott in the parking lot either occurred because Jackson gave up the fact that Scott was the beta, or Kate told Chris she guessed it was Scott and all Jackson did was give up his friend's location. Either way, it was sloppy writing. In the first scenario, Kate's revelation becomes irrelevant. In the second, Jackson giving up the information isn't nearly as bad as they made it out to be.
Meanwhile, Scott and Allison rekindled their love affair, thanks to Mama McCall's advice. By the way, what kind of mother tells her teenage son to go after the girl? Shouldn't the correct advice be, "keep it in your pants?"
Scott pouring his heart and soul out to the girl, which included a massive "I love you," made the ending to the episode that much more interesting.
After Kate revealed the Argent family secret to Allison last week, I stated that I was excited for Allison to finally be in the loop. After the youngest Argent downloaded all of the werewolf information early on in "Formality," I pictured a fantastic arc in season two, where she helps hunt down the second beta while having no idea that it was Scott.
That could have been great, but thanks to Chris' attempted car crash in the parking lot, it will never be. Instead, we were witness to what was probably the most momentous event of the series: Scott jumping on both cars and revealing to Allison that he is, indeed, a werewolf.
As we move forward to the season one finale, and then into season two, the questions may become: Does Allison continue to date Scott now that she knows? Will she go against her father and aunt's wishes? Or will she join them in hunting down her ex-boyfriend?

I am really interested with the Derek and Kate storyline. Her villainous character makes it more intriguing. Derek is broody and mysterious but clearly he was vulnerable when he was with Kate, it showed in the episode and that's a side of Derek we don't get to see. I feel their relationship is gold and is better than the canon Allison/Scott. Derek and Kate's past seems epic, we need to see a flashback of them being together and the fire.
Hopefully they will have more interaction before the season is over.
Kate is so annoying, all of that talking like Derek said, took the thought right out of my head and when she licked his stomach I was revolted and wishing he had enough electricity in him to knock her out, now that would've been satisfying. Hope this beauty isn't wasted on too much ab time. He's a decent actor - let him act instead of exploiting his looks. And Stiles truly courageous when he faced the Alpha on his knees to save Lydia. Umm is she now a werewolf??? I mean he mauled her right? Someone help me out here. Or are there female werewolves? Excuse me did someone say Scott should have dived under the bus? Why?? Because you want to watch 10 more episodes of the poor boy trying to keep it from Alison? Glorious reveal. Hope the Alpha destroys Aunt Kate when he tracks down Derek.
stupid channel seven in australia only shows teen wolf at 11.00 in the night :(
This was a great episode... I love Stiles... He deserved to have a good time especially with Lydia... Why did she have to go and find Jackson? If I had to choose between Stiles or Jackson I'd choose Stiles 10 times out of 10... Crazy Aunt Kate stepped up the crazy a million notches this episode... This may be an unpopular opinion but Kate and Peter make this great show greater because they are so evil... It's good to have villains... As long as the villains are portrayed right... Ian Bohen (Peter) and Jill Wagner (Kate) play the evil villain so well... I understand why they revealed Scott to Allison this soon... 1. It makes for a great season finale; which will include Allison having to choose between her family and Scott... (I hope she chooses Scott; Allison isn't as insane as her family. If she chooses her family she will be..) plus Allison knowing Scott is a werewolf adds to the story of Allison seeing who is really the bad guy (her family) and who is really good (Scott, Derek and Stiles) 2. The creators of the show weren't guaranteed a second season... So it's easy to see why they wanted to get it out of the way... Jeff Davis said there will still be cliffhangers in the finale and that he's happy they have a second season to resolve them...
I get that the final scene was the big reveal to Allison that the show has been building to all season. But wouldn't it been easier for him to dive underneath one of the buses. Wolfing out and jumping on the hood of 2 cars trying to crush you is not the ideal way to reveal to your girlfriend, who comes from a family of werewolf hunters, that you're a werewolf. Obviously a situation like being trapped in between 2 cars being driven by werewolf hunters is likely to get the adrenaline running and possibly cause him to shift. But Scott for the most part can control the shifts now and he could of dove underneath one of the buses
Great call by all of you mentioning the vet! I forgot about taking on that point in my review, but it certainly was an interesting development. I can't wait to see what he ends up being, and if it turns out to be a major factor in the finale or season two.
Yeah this episode was pretty great, but all I really want to know is what the he'll is the vet. The creator of the show, Jeff Davis said that vampires won't be in the show but he did say not to rule out other supernatural creatures. The vets not a werewolf, so is he a mystic maybe, a shaman? I don't know, but I hope we find out.
Most people hate Mondays. Because of Teen Wolf, I now love them. This episode was so amazing. I was thrilled that Scott finally told Allison that he loves her. I only hope that now that she knows he is a werewolf, she won't turn on him and become a psycho bitch like her aunt. God I hate that character. Can't wait for next Monday!!
cant wait for the season finale but i feel that its a bit way too soon to reveal everything. but then all of the episodes are really exciting and fun to watch. im kinda curious abt the vet though, i think he has mystical powers as well.
Good review! I agree with your reviews except for
Meanwhile, Scott and Allison rekindled their love affair, thanks to Mama McCall's advice. By the way, what kind of mother tells her teenage son to go after the girl? Shouldn't the correct advice be, "keep it in your pants?" because if you listened carefully she said something on the lines of: 'as long as you don't unzip that zipper after you tell her' all in all a good review and an exciting but perhaps dissapointing show; the reveal feels to early but i guess it heats up the action and tension pretty well and works with the targeted audience; teens cant wait for the juicy parts :P

Have you heard about starting Ampyra with one rather than two pills per day to help with adjustment to side effects?
- Q: Have you heard about starting Ampyra with one rather than two pills per day to help with adjustment to side effects? Some doctors are insisting on starting slowly. What do you think?
- A: Ampyra (dalfampridine) is used for people with multiple sclerosis to help improve walking. The usual dose is 1 tablet of 10 mg every 12 hours. It is an extended release tablet, but tends to wear off if the second dose is not taken. It is best to keep the medication at a constant therapeutic level in the body. Ten milligrams twice daily is the maximum dose, and it is not recommended to go to a higher dose, as there is a greater risk for seizures. For more information about multiple sclerosis, please visit The Multiple Sclerosis Association Web site as well at http://www.msassociation.org, and http://www.everydayhealth.com/multiple-sclerosis-basics.aspx.

From the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
-- The State of Alabama's Forever Wild Land Trust recently completed a land purchase of regional significance in east-central Alabama.
During the week of Jan. 4, Forever Wild concluded a year-long negotiation for the purchase of a 3,866-acre addition to one of the state's largest and oldest state-owned Wildlife Management Areas. Coupled with Forever Wild's first purchase in 1994 of the Wehle Tract, the 5,400 acres acquired in these transactions have produced a tremendous boon for the region's economy, especially in Barbour County.
The most recent Forever Wild land purchase includes approximately 3,377 acres within the Barbour County portions of the Barbour WMA, and 489 acres within the Bullock County portion of the WMA. The general area has been part of the state's WMA system for the last three decades, and this purchase marks the largest and most significant addition to the public hunting area since its inception. Barbour WMA is one of the most heavily utilized public hunting areas in south-central Alabama, and is renowned for its progressive advances in quality deer management and the restoration of longleaf pine forests and bobwhite quail.
Also benefiting from the land purchase is the Wehle Land Conservation Center, located within the Forever Wild program's first purchase. The Center has been the focus of many new conservation programs including seasonal exhibitions, recreational fishing, trail rides and numerous youth-oriented events. Attendance at these events has been steadily growing, which will likely lead to expansion of the programs in the near future.
In addition to completing the successful purchase of the recreational lease, Forever Wild has protected over 212,792 acres of land for long-term habitat protection and recreational use, a program which began in 1992. The lands and their interests were purchased through 74 individual transactions in 24 counties, and are managed under the principles of multiple-use.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Mercer, Richard Dennis URN etd-01312007-135143 Document Title Patterns in the abundance and distribution of littoral and supralittoral arthropods on Marion Island Degree MSc (Entomology) Department Zoology and Entomology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof S L Chown Committee Chair Keywords
- arthropoda Marion Island
Date 2000-03-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis study provides the first quantitative analysis of the littoral and supralittoral arthropod assemblages of sub-Antarctic Marion Island. Seventeen mite species (126 203 individuals) from 11 families were found on the shore at Macaroni Bay. Three families dominated the assemblages in both abundance and diversity: the Hyadesiidae, Ameronothridae and Halacaridae. Six insect species from three orders were found on the shore. Species richness increased from one in the littoral, to four and two species in the Mastodia and Caloplaca zones, respectively. The littoral, chironomid midge, Telmatogeton amphibius was the most abundant insect species, constituting 80% of all insects counted. Arthropod assemblages corresponded closely to the cryptogram dominated zonation patterns previously identified for the Marion Island shore. This clear association between arthropod and cryptogam zonation patterns provided a clear indication of habitat specificity in many of the species, and a quantitative analysis of habitat specificity on a species by species basis supported this tenet. The specificity of most species to the shore, which forms part of the epilithic biotope, is most likely a consequence of the considerable age of this biotope compared to the younger, post-glacial vascular vegetation. Tourist species, i.e. species transient to an assemblage, inflated species richness in zones and the distribution ranges of species across zones. It is suggested that previous, qualitative analyses of shoreline arthropod communities may have overestimated species ranges and richnesses because of the inclusion of tourist species. It is suggested that if a sound understanding of patterns in and processes underlying Antarctic arthropod assemblages is to be achieved, quantitative analyses must be expanded in the region.
In this study the spatial patterns of littoral and supralittoral arthropods from sub-Antarctic Marion Island are examined. Primary consumers were by far the most diverse group on the shore, with nine algivore and ten fungivore species from a total of 23 species. Positive species associations were found in the Mastodia and Caloplaca zones and positive abundance covariation in the Verrucaria, Mastodia and Caloplaca zones. There were no negative associations between any taxa, indicating that interspecific interactions on the shore are either minimal or absent. Significant interactions were related to the diversity of the respective habitats, with higher diversity resulting in higher levels of positive associations and abundance covariation. High levels of aggregation clearly demonstrated that species were not randomly distributed within habitats. Intraspecific aggregation was generally higher than interspecific aggregation in the five habitats and if competition was to occur it would most likely be among conspecifics. The absence of suitable biological information for species precluded further analyses of competition. However, if competitive interactions were found to occur between heterospecifics then coexistence would best be explained using the aggregated nature of superior competitors, allowing weaker competitors to coexist in zones. Positive associations between species were attributed to favourable environmental conditions, the availability of limiting resources (e.g. shelter) and the structure of the dominant cryptogram species.
Body sizes, spanning five orders of magnitude (0.5 J.1g - 26 mg), were measured for 59 of the approximately 120 invertebrate species on Marion Island. Mass-length and fresh-dry mass relationships were calculated for orders, families and species (for those with sufficient data). A comparison of their slopes indicates that for prediction of body mass it may be useful to use regressions from the lowest taxonomic rank possible. Differences between the mass-length relationship for Marion Island insects (log mass = -4.294 + 3.151 log length) and other relationships on continental assemblages raises the questions as to the applicability of these results. This study should prove useful for estimating body sizes for other, similar taxa in the Antarctic and provide baseline information on an important species trait that seems to be changing with local and global environmental changes.

DmC: Devil May Cry pre-orders get pendant from Capcom
by Steve Watts, shacknews.com, Dec 19, 2012 9:00AM PST
DmC: Devil May Cry is slated to be one of the first big releases of the new year. The game has already laid out its retailer-exclusive bonuses, but if you were holding out for a more tangible trinket, Capcom has your number.
The publisher has announced that pre-ordering from its own store gets you an exclusive pendant (above), made to resemble the one Dante sports throughout the game.
If wearing real-life costume jewelry isn't your thing, you might be more interested in digital bonuses. Steam has opened up pre-purchases and is offering a free costume pack. Pre-ordering through PlayStation Network gets you the Vergil's Downfall DLC for free, which costs nine bucks otherwise.
DmC: Devil May Cry is coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 15, followed by the PC version on January 25.

The Obama administration will press Congress to allocate a coveted block of wireless telecommunications airwaves for the building of a nationwide emergency communications network, administration officials said, a reversal that is likely to cement support for an issue that has been the subject of disputes since Sept. 11, 2001.
Ever since the attacks exposed the inability of fire, police and rescue departments to talk to one another via radio in an emergency, public safety officials have pushed for the allocation of additional airwaves, also known as spectrum, for their dedicated use. But Congress had mandated that the wireless spectrum at issue — a prime block of airwaves known as D Block — be auctioned off to a commercial wireless company, which would raise money that could then be used to help build a public safety network. Both the Bush and Obama administrations had supported auctioning the spectrum, as had the Federal Communications Commission. Last June, the FCC published a white paper saying that a better public safety communications network could be constructed at lower cost by using airwaves already dedicated to public safety, supplemented by the right to essentially take over commercial networks in an emergency. After nine months of intense lobbying by public safety officials, senior administration officials informed public safety leaders shortly before the State of the Union address that President Obama would support their cause. How the reallocation will be paid for remains an issue, because the auction of D Block had been expected to raise more than $3 billion. Obama administration officials said they believed that their broader plan to conduct auctions of other spectrum, including unused airwaves voluntarily given up by broadcasters, will raise the extra money required to prevent the D Block allocation from increasing the federal deficit.

Statoil said production at its LNG plant at Melkoya, Hammerfest, in Norway, has been shut down after power failure on November 19 2012.
The incident resulted in the emergency response organisation being mobilised, and personnel were according to instructions evacuated from the inner area to the outer plant area. No one was injured during the incident.
The plant was without power for about 20 minutes before it received power from the grid, and work to normalise activity is now being carried out. Production at Hammerfest LNG will remain shut down until the facility has been inspected and checked for any damage or malfunction. The authorities have been notified and the incident will be investigated.

Click here to Calculate Your Stroke Risk:
PREVENTIONTo help prevent a stroke:- Avoid fatty foods. Follow a healthy, low-fat diet. Include several daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Adding fish to your diet at least twice a week may be helpful. However, do not eat fried fish.- Do not drink more than 1 to 2 alcoholic drinks a day. - Exercise regularly: 30 minutes a day if you are not overweight; 60 - 90 minutes a day if you are overweight. - Get your blood pressure checked every 1 - 2 years, especially if high blood pressure runs in your family. - Have your cholesterol checked. If you are at high risk for stroke, your LDL "bad" cholesterol should be lower than 100 mg/dL. Your doctor may recommend that you try to reduce your LDL cholesterol to 70 mg/dL. Few medications have been found to clear up plaque. Statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs can help prevent more plaque from forming. - Follow your doctor's treatment recommendations if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. - Quit smoking.
Heart disease may be prevented by recommended healthy diet, regular exercise and to stop smoking if you are a smoker. Follow your health care provider's recommendations for treatment and prevention of heart disease.
