PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Harriet Street gang members pulled posts from a porch to arm themselves against rivals they believed had smashed a window in a member's minivan the afternoon of June 15.
Five Harriet Street, or H-Block, members headed to Broad Street in search of Hartford Soldiers, with whom they had been feuding for years. They didn't spot any.
"We was just going to see if we seen them. We was gonna fight," H-Block member Luis "Didi" Gonzalez, 18, told jurors Thursday.
As they passed the police, Branden "Blaze" Castro warned " 'Don't be hot,' " Gonzalez said. "I wasn't really sure what he meant by that." Castro told them he had a gun.
The group smoked marijuana and drank Hennessy as they then made their way to the Hartford Park housing project and circled the area, he said.
Gonzalez saw a party with women and children at Hartford Park. "I said none of them's here so let's just leave," Gonzalez said.
His older brother Luis "Fat Boy" Gonzalez, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, chimed in "don't do nothing to the little kids," Gonzalez said.
Castro responded " ' They killed Omar. They didn't care about Omar,' " Gonzalez said. Castro was referring to the 2012 shooting death of H-Block associate Omar Polanco.
His brother "Fat Boy" directed the minivan's driver, Ricardo Vasquez, to a parking across the street from the party, Gonzalez said. His brother told Castro " 'If you're going to do something, do it right' " as Castro got out of the van and approached the party, Gonzalez said. Next they heard four or five gunshots.
Luis "Didi" Gonzalez took the stand against his brother, fellow H-Block member Luis "Fat Boy" Gonzalez at his trial for conspiring with to fire into a graduation party at Hartford Park June 15. Sixth grader Aynis Vargas was killed and three women were wounded in the shooting.
Prosecutors say Gonzalez, 23, plotted with four other H-Block members, including "Didi," to open fire on the party in retaliation for Polanco's death. Authorities say the group believed Polanco had been killed by the Hartford Soldiers.
The younger Gonzalez reached a deal with prosecutors last September to testify against his brother. In exchange, the state dropped charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and firearms offenses against him. He pleaded guilty to three counts of assault and conspiracy and faces up to 10 years in prison at sentencing.

Laura Geller Beauty is renowned as the pioneer of Baked products—cult-favorite, multitasking powders that deliver remarkably vibrant color.
A brand new innovation in Baked, Baked Elements Foundation is formulated with good-for-you water extracted from a 3,000 year old thermal spring in Calabria, Italy.
Recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health as beneficial to the skin, this water is enriched by powerful minerals that - together with antioxidants - help protect and improve skin texture while providing flawless coverage, nourishing hydration and long-wear comfort --- the elements of beauty.
In order to create this luxurious medium-to-full buildable coverage foundation, only the highest quality pigments are mixed with the Italian thermal spring water and Baked for 24 hours on terracotta tiles, then hand-finished by Italian artisans to produce a creamy powder.
Crafted without additional powders or fillers that can cloud color, the micronized Baked pigments wear color true and seamlessly match natural skin tones. These pigments blend seamlessly to create the lightweight, flawless and multi-dimensional finish of healthy skin.
Our proprietary process allows us to create shades customized for your individual needs. Available in six shades (Porcelain, Fair, Light, Medium, Golden Medium, Tan), Baked Elements Foundation wears beautifully and comfortably throughout the day.
Baked Elements Foundation delivers benefits via ingredients such as…
- Italian Thermal Spring Water is infused with skin-nourishing elements and minerals
- Hyaluronic Acid helps skin feel more hydrated
- Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil help to refresh and smooth the skin
Each foundation is slowly baked for 24 hours and hand-finished into silky domes of powder by Italian artisans.
Baked Elements is a hydrating, creamy Baked powder that has a less opaque finish than the typical pressed powder, so the look remains natural without compromising buildable coverage.
Of the women who have tried Baked Elements Foundation:
- 100% of women saw an improvement in skin hydration immediately after use
- 100% of women saw an improvement in the look of fine lines immediately after use
- 100% of women saw an improvement in skin radiance immediately after use
- 100% of women saw an improvement in the evenness of skin tone immediately after use
I hope this explains the images you will see in our first ever video of our production process!
Tune in to QVC U.S. on 9/16 for a special collection featuring the brand new Baked Elements Foundation.

I would like to try to start fall plantings asap. But, there are a lot of varieties not carried by the nurseries that need to be started from seed. I know it is popular to cold start these seeds often with grow lights. I grow in several large plots in a community garden but live in a tiny studio apartment with only one window. Any suggestions for how I might get plants started or which ones will do okay with less light? |

What do you want to grow? It's too late to start tomatoes from seed (that should have been started in mid-July). I direct sow lettuce and carrots in the fall, but start broccolli and onions in containers. I don't bother with grow lights and just set the containers in a sunny spot and hope for good weather. As soon as they're up and have a true leaf or two, I transplant into the garden. I started corn and pole bean seeds in containers a few weeks ago and it seems like they pop up more quickly that way. Cucumbers were direct sown. I don't think light is necessary for germination, but once they pop up, they need it right away. Maybe you could start the seeds indoors and rush out to transplant into the community garden as soon as they're up? |
- Posted by shavedmonkey none (My Page) on Tue, Aug 27, 13 at 18:54
Tradition- you are 9b and derbyka is 10a. It is the time to start tomato seeds now. I put mine in cups 2 weeks ago to be replanted in 2 more weeks. Not too late. I'll be planting bush beans in 2 weeks. I'm in 10b. Sown directly. |
- Posted by judyk_2008 9 DeLeon Sprs (My Page) on Wed, Aug 28, 13 at 10:09
How much light does your window get? In the winter, I start some of my veggies on my south facing windows. Otherwise, I have an cheap shop lamp that hangs by chains from a pvc frame I made. I raise it as needed. I start squash, cukes, tomatos, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and some others I can't think of right now, inside. |
- Posted by shavedmonkey none (My Page) on Wed, Aug 28, 13 at 12:46
Could you place starting seeds outside your door? Perhaps someone from the community garden or a neighbor would let you start seeds.Good luck |

We've detected you are coming from a location where we have a regional site.Please choose one of the following sites:
11/10/2013 A new video that has just been released celebrates Hasselblad's long and illustrious history and joins the growing collection of amazing films that are freely available through Hasselblad tv.
Most of us are aware of the reputation of Hasselblad cameras for being ground breaking, innovative and ultra reliable tools for professional photographers, but how many people are aware of the full history of the company and the great achievements that it has recorded over the years? If you've ever wondered exactly how the Hasselblad name acquired its legendary status then take a look at the latest information-packed production that's just been uploaded to Hasselblad tv, and all will become clear.
The release of this new production is great timing because the company's activity over the past year or so demonstrates clearly that the Hasselblad story is still developing and that history is continuing to be made. The occasion of photokina in September 2012 saw some huge announcements made, in particular the launch of the new H5D, but it also signalled the start of a new direction for the company in the form of the introduction of the Lunar camera, a stylish and compact camera more geared towards the fashionistas than the professional photographers. Meanwhile the re-launched VICTOR magazine, available again as a hard copy, was presented more as a sumptuous coffee-table book, acting as the perfect showcase for the work of top photographers who work with the Hasselblad, while there was also news of a new Japanese subsidiary being set up, now complete with its own store.
Social media and online content reflects the modern way of spreading the word, and Hasselblad has taken this message very much on board, on several fronts. If you've not yet encountered HTV, Hasselblad's own TV channel for everything connected with the company, then you should certainly go and take a look: alongside the new film on the history of Hasselblad there are also some incredible productions there that are well worth watching, not only for their entertainment value but also for the tantalising behind-the-scenes glimpse they provide as top photographers share their secrets.
Of course it's not just online TV that is spreading the message: Hasselblad information can also be found on all the other major social media outlets, with Pinterest and Instagram being most recently added to the list. Check out the following links and make sure that you are always in touch with Hasselblad's constantly evolving story!

Establishing the IQRA Hoti Mardan in 1998 was a response to the exigency of good schooling in the area. By the grace of Almighty Allah, within a short span of time, IQRA Hoti Mardan has become a glaring example of excellence amongst contemporaneous schools and colleges of the circuit and is being considered as a trend setter for Quality Education in surrounding which is a clear manifestation of our wholehearted commitment to this cherished mission. IQRA Hoti Mardan is managed by a governing body and patronized by an Advisory Board, highly decisive policy making authorities to permeate all the issues of the institution concerning syllabus, teachers selection criteria,
Ideas in mind since the establishment of school to provide a platform where the students should express their views, thoughts and sentiments without any hindrance and hesitation. Majlis-e-Iqra provides the opportunity to express their views orally and physically. It inspires them to activate their mental and physical capabilities. To explicit views, imaginations and feelings in written from, Ramooz-e-Iqra is provided. This magazine is published annually delivered to students at the end of academic year. It contains different articles, specially written by students. The teachers are also invited for participation. Articles are written in English, Urdu and Pashto. Bundles of articles are received from students and Teachers. Choice for publishing sometime creates confusion and stress due to specific code of values and volume of the magazine. It is a cumbersome job. It is undeniable fact that students, teachers and parents await anxiously for the time and date of receiving articles. Basic idea of the magazine is to enhance creativity among students. They struggle hard to provide such articles which are the best in their mind. The magazine remains with them as record because each and every student gets the magazine. We are not boastful or arrogant of this achievement. It is the great blessing of Omni present, Omnipotent and Almighty Allah Who has diverted us to such righteous and fruitful path. We pray that He may help us to bring the new generation to the light of Islam.

I bought this thinking that it would help with some of the stress pimples i was getting since i was breaking out some before exam week. While it didn't break me out, i also didn't see any improvement what so ever with my break outs.

From the Acne Stress Control line, this and the 3-in-1 spot treatment are the shining stars.
Pros: nice scent, contains 2% salicylic acid, non-foaming, non-drying, tidy package, good price and easy to find. Feels soothing.
Cons: contains dyes and fragrances.
Definitely recommended to anyone who can tolerate fragrances and has normal or dry acne prone skin. I had to switch to fragrance free stuff, but I used to use this every few days.

I like how this cleanser makes my skin not feel dried out but still feel clean. however this product didn't improve my skin and I still broke out while using this product (although I'm pretty sure this specific product wasn't the cause). overall, this is nothing amazing and I wouldn't purchase again

I have been trying all sorts of products to clear the blackheads and clogged pores on my nose and chin. I decided to give this a try when I saw it at the drug store because it was inexpensive and I figured I had nothing to lose. LET ME TELL YOU it completely cleared the pores on my nose & chin within the 3rd day of use. In 2 days it also got rid of a cystic pimple that was erupting on my left cheek. I didn't expect much from this product, because overall Neutrogena products have never done anything for my skin. However, this product really gave me impressive results. I used the cream cleanser in combination with the OIL-FREE ACNE STRESS CONTROL Triple Action Toner. I am writing this in hopes that it can help someone else who has frequent breakouts like me. This product did amazing things for my skin; I really hope it can help another gal out there who is struggling with her skin :)

I like the product! it's not my favorite cleanser I've ever used.... but it's okay! I REALLY love the Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Scrub and I feel the cleanser is a nice pair.
I have been using this product for about two months now and I love the way it leaves my skin feeling so incredibly smooth and soft, and moisturised! (of course I moisturise after anyway). I usually have pretty clear skin, but I normally break out around my chin, but I am slowly noticing my skin is looking so much happier and healthier since using this product!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My skin is normally pretty easy to deal with, although it is oily around the T line and dry around my nose, upper lip area. Except once I started using this product, it got worse. I had ran out of face wash and didn't have one for a day or two, and got a few little spots, but then I bought this product and it got worse. I've only had this product for about a week now, and my whole forehead is oily and bumpy and around my nose is red and irritated, not to mention a few bumps on my face places where I've never had problems with. I used this product in hopes my acne would clear up, but instead, along with my skin, it got worse. I went to a friend's and used her drugstore face wash and my skin immediately felt better taking a break from the Neutrogena product. I was surprised, saying that I had used Neutrogena products before and was satisfied, but this product has been the exact opposite of what I need. Reading other people's reviews, I was also surprised I had disliked this product so much. But really, I guess it depends on skin type. But I, however, would not recommend it.
Not a good product to wash off makeup since it doesn't lather. Doesn't dry out my skin too bad, and makes it kinda soft actually. It's decent and has a tingling feeling which is great for the morning time. If you have minor breakouts, this will be great. It's about $7 so it's pretty cheap but it's a bit difficult to find. I don't have much use for it since I found my new HG.
Everything about this product shouldn't work for me- low ratings, creaminess, doesn't completely remove makeup- but it really does. There's something magical about it that makes my skin perfectly happy and clear. I used this for years and was lured away by fancier products with lofty claims. My adult acne became terrible. In desperation, I reached for this old fave and it came through again. After months of breakouts, within three days my skin became clear. I use a toner afterwards and to remove what makeup is left behind. Yet, it still works better than thorough cleansers! I can't explain it, so I'll just be grateful. I have mature combination skin that reacts to stress and products. Perhaps this product is better suited for reviewers like me. I love this and won't stray until it's discontinued! UPDATE: Still loving this dependable old gem, but I found a better solution for nighttime makeup removal- the Stress Control scrub. I use the scrub at night and the cream wash in the morning. Surprisingly still the best cleansers for my 30s acne-prone, combination skin! Beats everything from Skinceuticals and Estee Lauder.

I didn't expect much from this product, because overall Neutrogena's products have never done anything for me. However, this product gave me impressive results. I can only use salicylic acid on my chin/nose area (which I discovered recently) and this product rose to the occassion. It took out most of my zit bumps ( I don't know what they're actually called, they're just these neutral toned bumps I get) and pustules eventually stopped coming altogether. I love this product and it keeps all of my acne at bay. I usually wash when I get out of the showers in the morning and I follow up with Aveeno moisturizer. Amazing!
UPDATE: I've been straying away from harsh products recently and when I used this product, it actually broke my skin out. :( I don't use this anymore. It just stopped working and it actually seemed to make things worse.

Facial hair isn't a great feature on a woman, which is why there have been many methods created over the years to remove it. No matter what your budget is, there is a method available that will remove your facial hair. It is always a temporary solution, but worth making an investment in to feel confident about your looks. Read on for facial hair solutions.
This technique from India involves wrapping a fine thread around each hair and pulling the hair out by the root. It can be mildly painful. Rest assured, the people who perform threading are very experienced in their trade and work very fast to remove hair. Threading is best for those who have limited facial hair, since too much threading can cause extreme redness. It is also a process that's painful enough most want to limit the amount of skin they have threaded.
Waxing is one of the most effective ways to remove facial hair for a few weeks. Waxing does not cause the facial hair to come back any lighter or finer, but it does remove it well and leaves a very smooth surface behind. There are waxes specifically designed for the face. These waxes are formulated to be less harsh than other wax and do not leave the skin red or irritated.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is the most costly option for removing hair, but in many cases it does keep hair at bay for a few years. It is not a permanent solution, no matter what type of hair you have (color or texture). Laser hair removal typically takes at least two or three sessions to remove facial hair. In some cases, it can take as many as five sessions to remove all facial hair.

Early heat means an early garden season, but also time to prune trees
PHOENIX - The warmer weather means you'll be able to get a jump start on your flower and vegetable garden, but it also moves up the urgency to prune trees.
"Things like petunias, which might not be in bloom like this this time of year, already are," said Brian Blake, a gardener with Whitfill Nursery.
Blake suggests starting with good fertilized soil. When planting your flowers or vegetables, don't forget to pull apart the roots and water well, especially in the first couple of weeks.
He also says to avoid seeding a garden if you can and choose a more mature 4-inch pot sized plant instead. December is typically the month to do this if you're starting from scratch.
"By starting with a plant that's already up to size, you're starting with a plant that was planted in December and so you're going to get a lot longer season," suggests Blake.
The early heat, while great for flowers, could be damaging on your trees if you prune too late.
"It would have been better to do it a week ago because it's so warm it looks like right now it's just going to go full leaf," said Blake.
But there's still time, so act fast on pruning citrus, fruit and leaf trees like elms.
Start with pruning lower branches before they turn into larger branches. That will also give the tree room to fill in.
"When you have damaged limbs, you probably want to take that off. And then if we have branches that cross over each other, like this branch that's going to rub on this other branch, we will take that branch off as well," Blake showed us.
Blake also advises to trim the areas that appear uneven to distribute the weight of the branches evenly.
And if you're looking to plant a tree, now is the time to do that, also, before it gets too hot.

ACS T2 Live! Dual Driver In-Ear Monitor
The world's greatest soft silicone in-ear monitor just got even better
The T2 Live! brings over 2 years of research and development together as the most feature-rich custom in-ear monitor available. With the introduction of a new integrated crossover and a proprietary replaceable cable system the T2 Live! offers an enviable feature set brought about with meticulous attention to detail and design. Its dual driver configuration brings you broad and rich sound combined with the impeccable fit and comfort created by the discreet soft silicone mold resulting in an in-ear monitor that feels and sounds completely natural allowing you to control your sound and focus on your performance.
Adding a touch of refinement
The T2 Live! utilizes the same two incredible balanced armature drivers as the T2 Classic delivering an incredibly detailed response that extends from below 20hz to 16Khz. Each of the transducers used in the T2 Live! has been carefully selected to deliver unrivalled range, clarity and depth. The integrated crossover means our engineers have been able to push this combination even further giving you even more detail while retaining all of the body and breadth that you expect resulting in perfect balance and unparalleled depth whatever it is that you're listening to.
The same accommodating approach
Just like any ACS product, the T2 Live! is manufactured from soft medical grade silicone giving you a fit like no other earpiece. We use the softest material in the industry to give you unparalleled isolation in the most demanding environments with a consistent seal at all times and, because your earpiece can flex with your ear as you move or sing, your monitors stay comfortable without fatigue or irritation. In addition to comfort and isolation, using silicone allows us to seal the speakers into the mould and take control of their acoustic environment, this means we leave no room for the shape of your ear to affect how your monitors will sound or for your drivers to misbehave so they sound just as our technicians intended every single time.
So much thought into such a small object
ACS in-ear monitors are designed and produced according to some simple principles that we think help us to focus on what's important rather than just chasing the pack. Our earpieces are flush and discreet in the ear, we don't just throw more drivers into the mix in the hope that it will make the monitors sound better, particularly if that means delivering ear shattering volumes. We pay attention to every aspect of the T2 Live!, from the 3.5mm plug right to your eardrum to make sure it's performing as it should and we don't do as others do if we don't believe it is right. Based on our proprietary cable design, the Live! Series offers removable cables featuring one of the smallest and most resilient connections around. Keeping the connector as small as possible means that we can keep the cable discreet and mounting the socket right in the silicon means your cables will stay put in performance but come loose if the cable is pulled from the ear minimising the risk of damage. Not only that but by simply moving the pins from the plug on the cable to the socket in your monitor we've minimised the chances of damage tothe cable even when it's not connected. With the pins in the socket sunk into your earpiece there is no chance of them coming to harm and with no pins at the cable end at all it'll take a lot more than a size 13 Doc Marten to put you in need of a replacement.
And soon another revolution at ACS takes place...
Every T2 Live! has a pair of built-in, sub miniature, wideband, flat response microphones! Interfacing our new ambient sound processor between the wireless belt pack and your T2 Live! in-ear monitors, will allow you to introduce and adjust your ambient surroundings independently from the mix. Imagine being able to control the outside sound and safely eliminate the isolation experienced by wearing good sealing in ear monitors.
With the arrival early next year of our Live! series ambient processor, isolation will become a thing of the past. Plug in and experience your own individual sound environment as though you have nothing in your ears!

PROVIDENCE — The State Investment Commission began the process Wednesday of cutting the Rhode Island pension fund's ties with companies that distribute guns, but the move had barely been announced when it drew criticism.
Businessman Kenneth J. Block, a candidate for governor, aired his views in an email shortly after the commission voted. He called the move "irresponsible and misguided" and said state General Treasurer Gina M. Raimondo, the commission's chairwoman, is "politicizing the investment decisions of our retirement system."
"She is using pension assets to score political points and pander to certain constituencies," Block said of Raimondo, a likely candidate for governor in 2014. "Whatever you think about gun control, this is the wrong approach. The Rhode Island treasurer's office is getting involved in a public policy decision for which it has absolutely no authority."
Raimondo, criticized last week in a scathing union-commissioned report that accused her of selling out Rhode Island's public workers via pension reform while she enriches "herself and her hedge-fund backers," defended the latest move.
"As a mom and public official, I am deeply troubled by gun violence," she said in a statement. "The State Investment Commission unanimously voted to authorize selling its stake in a private equity holding that was invested in a gun distributor. This is the right thing to do."
Raimondo's office also responded to criticism from Block and others that while she is focused on divesting from gun companies, she is ignoring a 2007 state law that requires the Investment Commission to divest from companies that support the government in Sudan.
Raimondo spokeswoman Joy E. Fox said that while it appears no reports required by the law have ever been filed, Raimondo's office "began the work to comply" once it learned of the law and has done the same with a 2013 law that requires the commission to divest investments in Iran. To date, there have been "no state pension investments that require divestment, according to either law," Fox said.
So it went on a day that also saw the Investment Commission vote to have a consultant review the $8-billion pension fund's asset allocation, a step taken every two to three years, members said.
As they discussed that review, Raimondo and other members took the opportunity to respond to the criticism leveled in last week's report, commissioned by Council 94, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
Titled "Rhode Island Public Pension Reform: Wall Street's License to Steal," the report said the state pension fund "fell victim to a Wall Street coup" two years ago when Raimondo, a Democrat and former venture capitalist, took office and led the effort to get a pension overhaul bill approved by the overwhelmingly Democratic state legislature.
Report author Edward "Ted" Siedle, a former securities lawyer and investment banker, accuses Raimondo of supporting reforms that slash benefits and thwart "public access to information regarding the riskiest of pension investments."
But commission members stood by the changes made to the fund, saying they are designed to provide steady returns and reduce risk during an economic downturn.
"It's a shame that the outside world would only understand what we did if the markets went down," said commission member J. Michael Costello.
Raimondo called the report "a political attack against me personally, funded by political interests that are against pension reform."
Council 94 President J. Michael Downey, when asked for comment, replied: "A pension system that's run by politicians can be nothing else but political."
The vote to divest from gun companies follows similar moves by the Chicago municipal pension fund, the New York City Employees Retirement System and the California teachers pension fund.
Earlier this year, the Providence City Council made it a point to confirm that the city's pension fund was not investing in gun companies.

"Yum! these muffins are a definate keeper. I too,wondered about draining the pineapple, but decided not to. I used preshredded carrots in the produce section and substituted the brown sugar twin for 1/4c real brown sugar and about 2 tbs. splenda.

Authenticity is king for Gearbox's Aliens, and while we've all seen the familiar stuff - power loaders, pulse rifles, motion sensors, and all that - there's a lot more to it.
What do you do when − inevitably − you need things that weren't in the original movies? How do you add to these iconic worlds without seeming derivative... or worse, just rubbish?
"When we were in concept development, we reached out to Syd Mead," says Randy Pitchford, Gearbox CEO. Mead was concept artist on James Cameron's Aliens movie.
"He designed the Colonial Marines' spacecraft, the Sulaco," says Pitchford, "Plus the Hadley's Hope colony and so many other things from the Aliens film. He had a lot of content that was never used in the film, since they only built sets out of a few of the rooms."
So working with Mead means Colonial Marines is able to dig even deeper into the authentic world of Aliens than the movies did. "Syd also agreed to do a whole lot of new pieces to flesh out things that were in his head but never were put to paper," says Pitchford.
The game follows the movie timeline, and is set after Alien 3. You explore locations from the second film (now weathered with age and infested with Xenomorphs).
What's more, writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, late of the superbly dark and intelligent Battlestar Galactica remake, are scripting, so expect a quality tale - perhaps even a better one than Hollywood's Alien Resurrection...
It certainly feels convincingly sinister, especially with Gearbox's new lighting engine bathing the game in the blues, reds and blacks of the films.
As a shooter it plays a little standard, at least in what we've seen so far, opting for the solo-player thrill-ride approach, rather than offering the free-form co-op experience many were hoping for.
But as a homage to the films, Colonial Marines could be just the thing you've been searching the void for.

Tear drops fall over your hand like petals to old lace. Tears not of regret but of fulfillment and your replace.
I care not for casualties and careless thoughts of lament. I cry for words and promises that are true and always kept. A life of love and devotions are not just a concept. But a true and beautiful reality stable and never sent.
Heartbeats from further away but present nonetheless. Always caring always sharing those feelings in the flesh. I capture all these qualities and lock them in my breast. A place not just for hiding but like keeping in a nest. I care and watch over these feelings like an eternal trying test.
I float on words and gestures and accept all those I get. A low and faulty footstep that i shouldn't have let.
My hands can barely grapple with the passion you have left. A warm and welcomed ending Id easily admit. A subtle sign of absence you'll gladly soon submit. But I turn a cheek to closure and believe that you'll commit. A life full of passive truths and thoughtless compliments.
A life with lack of living is not truthful nor complete. But a total true devotion will be sure to form a peak. In your flat and listless life you will always hopelessly seek.
...this. It's quite true.
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

PENNINGTON, NJ and BALTIMORE, MD – July 11, 2012 –Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTT), a leading wave energy technology company, and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) have entered into a teaming agreement with the goal of developing a 19 megawatt wave-energy project in Portland, in the state of Victoria, Australia. This is one of the largest wave-energy projects announced to date, and leverages a grant from the Commonwealth of Australia.
For the project, Lockheed Martin will assist with the design of Ocean Power Technologies' (OPT) PowerBuoy® technology, lead the production and system integration of the wave-energy converters and support overall program management. Lockheed Martin and OPT have been collaborating since 2004, first on the development of an Advanced Deployable System for the U.S. Navy and most recently to design and launch utility-scale wave energy converters off the coast of Reedsport, Oregon.
"Lockheed Martin is applying its expertise to commercialize promising, emerging alternative energy technologies," said Dan Heller, vice president of new ventures for Lockheed Martin's Mission Systems & Sensors business. "We see great potential in harnessing the vast power of the ocean. By working with OPT and Australian industry on this project, we will advance wave energy in Australia and globally."
According to the World Energy Council, wave energy has the potential to produce around 2,000 terawatt hours of electricity a year, or enough power to meet 10 percent of the world's current energy needs. In Australia, which has very attractive wave resources, this percentage could be significantly higher.
Charles F. Dunleavy, Chief Executive Officer of OPT, said, "Lockheed Martin's commitment to alternative energy and its engineering, production, and systems integration expertise will provide momentum to our Australia initiatives, where both companies see great potential for large-scale wave energy generation. We also appreciate the Commonwealth government's continued support of this project, which we expect to create a significant number of local jobs as we develop and maintain operations over the life of the power station."
Funding for the project also includes a previously announced grant of A$66.5 million ($65.3 million USD) from the Commonwealth of Australia's Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism. A Funding Deed sets out the terms of the grant, including the requirement to obtain significant additional project financing.
The project is to be developed by a special purpose Australian company, Victorian Wave Partners Pty Ltd, currently owned by Ocean Power Technologies (Australasia) Pty Ltd. The partners are assessing financing opportunities for the project and pursuing power purchase agreements with local industry and utilities.

Cooking is one of my fortés and there's not many of those. Only thing I can recall bad enough to remember is a steam burn, which are/was terribly painful. AoE(area of effect) was my whole right thumb, index finger, and hand around that area.
some of us cook right? well for those who cook and think they cna multitask... what happens when you cook like accident wise?
besides the fact that i burned my self yesterday trhee times on my right hand... stupid pots!
and now my finger is gushing blood while i am typing... why? i needed ot cut bread.... knife slipped ow... it won't stop bleeding!
but yeah go ahead and tell me some horrifc accidents you have in teh kitchen to make clumsy people like I feel better!

"so i herd u liek mudkips"
Hmmm....I dont really have accidents while cooking...I'm still learning how to make good bacon though...I guess frying the bacon till it's extra crispy isnt an accident?!!
I bake mostly, I'd say leaving the brownies in the oven for too long...We had cake. XD That was hard. XD
Seduced by Flesh
I remember one time when i was peeling a carrot and by accident i cut my finger, the cut was so deep that i thought i was gonna die.
i cook a lot but i haven't had any accedents yet. generally though if i singe myself i or something minor i just let it go and do nothing. i kinda don't mind the pain...
92% of teens moved to rap. if u are part of the 8% that rock out every day, put this on your sig!!!!
The worst thing I did accident wise wasn't an injury.
The first thing I have to say is, don't deep fry when you're tired.
I had just finished frying up something, I can't remember what and I was cleaning up and my eye fell on the oil pot. You know the one that you drain all the fat off of your food in? Well I had only been frying in about an inch-inch and a half of oil and I thought, "that will fit in there". I don't stop to think that there is already rancid fat in there and that the oil is still hot. Any guess as to what happened?
Think about it for a second.....
As soon as the hot oil hit the rancid fat it boiled.....over....and wouldn't stop. It's not like I could contain it. It was hot oil, about 250-300 degrees F hot. I'm just glad that I had already turned off the stove since it went everywhere.
I had to back off, wait for it to cool, and then spent the next two hours cleaning it out of every nook and cranny of the stove top including the drip pan. Used, boiled, rancid oil. Not fun.
But it could have been worse. I was the only one in the kitchen and I was able to avoid it. If there had been anyone else around it would have probably meant 3rd degree burns.

well you can now add yet another finger cut to my injuries list... so instead of ten fingers i now have 8 that are working... poop...
there was also a time where i just got out of a shower and decided to make meself a cup o'tea... bad idea! yeah by accident i spilled the tea all over my body and ow... my stomach burned for two weeks straight...
but these current cuts are very deep... and the first one is like cut four times... i dunno it was a weird knife....
oo i don't peel potatoes either now... ever since that day when my finger accidently slipped and i almost chopped off half of my finger....
my mom had it worst. she was using one of those grinders that spin really really really fast and she forgot to turn it off and looked away for a second and cut her finger, half her finger... it was like hanging onto to her hand by a thread.... she had to go to the ER and they sewed it back on. it still works somehow as it used too.... of course now we go to the store and buy ground beef instead of doing it ourselves.....
Lol, once the propane tank under my stove burst and the water that was boilin' on the stove splashed my arm and my eye, and shards of glass from the door of the stove cut me up pretty bad. Good think I heal well. Now all I have is a burn scar on my wrist. To put it simply, I now have an electric stove lol

Matt Alvarado thought the final game of his junior season would be a springboard.
Little did he know it was a curtain call.
The Gilbert High boys basketball team made a Cinderella run through the 5A-I state tournament last season, defeating two higher seeds and pushing top-ranked Highland to the brink in the state semifinals.
In that game, Alvarado scored 14 points, but the Tigers eventually blew a 10-point second-half lead and lost by seven.
Still, Alvarado was feeling good.
The graduation of several starters would mean more playing time as a senior, and he was pleased with his progress on the court and in the weight room. He was also chosen as a team captain.
"Everything was going so well," Alvarado said.
A month before the season began, that all changed.
He came home from his job at Target in early September, and didn't feel well.
First it was just dizziness, soreness and some vomiting. A basic flu bug, Alvarado thought.
But a week and a half later, on the morning he was set to see a doctor, Alvarado went to turn on a light, and his right arm would not move.
Alvarado was sent to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, a neurological spine disorder that leaves the infected areas extremely weak. Many times, the disorder affects the legs and can cause paralysis.
Alvarado's case wasn't that severe, but his right shoulder was affected, and the hospital stay lasted a week.
He eventually returned to school, but simple tasks like eating, putting on a shirt and writing became cumbersome. Even putting on deodorant took some time to master.
"I'd pick up my arm and set it on the dresser," Alvarado said. "Then I could put my deodorant on."
Despite the setback, Alvarado was determined to play basketball this season.
Medicine that caused weight gain and weeks of inactivity combined to add 20 pounds to his frame, but Alvarado wouldn't sit out the bi-weekly conditioning sessions.
"He literally could not move his right arm (during a run on the track)," Gilbert coach Jay Caserio said. "He's 20 pounds overweight, and it's 105 degrees out. Towards the end, he finally asks me if he can walk. It's just amazing to watch a kid be that dedicated."
Besides the lack of conditioning, Alvarado said he felt good.
But the first dose of reality came at practice. His first shot attempt was just five feet away from the basket. It didn't make it halfway. Even then, Alvarado refused to give up.
"I always thought, 'OK, I'll get back into it,'" he said. "That was my thing. Give me two weeks and I'll be back. Give me to the third game and I'll be back. After the tournament, I'll be back. Everyone thinks they're Superman right away. It's just never the case."
When the improvement didn't happen quickly enough — full recovery can take up to two years — Alvarado came to grips with sitting out his final season.
Caserio said he was worried about breaking the news to Alvarado, but he never had to.
"He just looked at me one day and said, 'Coach, I know I'm not going to play this year,'" Caserio said. "'I just want to be around the guys.'"
While Alvarado won't see any game action, it's hard to tell. He's one of the more vocal players on the practice court.
On the bench during games, Alvarado acts as a coach, explaining what he sees to the younger teammates that are playing in his vacated spot.
While transverse myelitis may have robbed Alvarado of his senior season, it hasn't taken his sense of humor.
When he returned to the weight room, Alvarado tried to do a set of a low weight because he knew his shoulder could not support what he used to lift.
It was still too heavy, so he took more off. And then more. And more.
Eventually, Alvarado was doing bench presses with just five pounds on each side of the bar.
"I'm not saying I was a huge lifter, but I could do a decent amount of weight," Alvarado said. "And I'm sitting here doing fives."
Alvarado's lifting partner and best friend, Austin James, couldn't help but smile. Soon, Alvarado was showing off his lack of strength.
"He would joke around, like 'Hey guys, check this out,'" James said. "He would put 50 pounds (for his left arm) and two pounds (for his right)... Even if things aren't the best, you can still look at the positive things in life. Not just all the negatives. And that's definitely what Matt does."
Said Alvarado: "It is funny, me lifting five pounds. If he was lifting five pounds, I wouldn't hold back a laugh. That's just how it is. It's what I needed.
"When something like this happens, that's how you have to be. You can't sit at the end of the bench with your head down, saying 'That should have been me that hit that shot.' I try to make people laugh, make people smile. Despite my struggles, you have to have a good time with it."

The Present and Future of Diabetes Research
In a special report published on February 7 by the Journal of the American Association entitled "Forecasting Opportunities in Medical Research," leaders in the medical research community outline the status of medical research today.
Jerrold M. Olefsky, MD, provides a summary of the current state of diabetes research and where he thinks it is heading.
Olefsky's article, "Prospects for Research in Diabetes Mellitus," notes where weaknesses in research lie, and how they should be remedied. He makes a plea for more funding, improvements to the medical infrastructure and the organization of public and private diabetes centers—all of which are actively being pursued by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Among his predictions about the future of diabetes research, Olefsky thinks:
- Islet transplantation will provide a cure for type 1 diabetes.
- Researchers will learn how to grow beta cells from progenitor or genetically engineered beta cells.
- Prevention of type 1 diabetes will be achieved through the development of targeted treatment methods and the ability to identify those at-risk.
