They also want to thank Pastor Bill, Don Schone, all of their friends at the New Moyock United Methodist Church and Captain Bobola's dear friends, Todd and Fran Manas.

To the Bobola family,
My deepest condolences on the loss of Captain Bobola. I served with him about USS Elmer Montgomery many years ago. Many years later as a civilian, I went aboard USS Roosevelt to conduct a crew briefing and I was greatly surprised that he remembered me and greeted me warmly. He was a fine officer and a true gentleman. May God give you strength and comfort at this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss and pray for God's strength to get each of you through this difficult time. He truly was an inspiration as he fought this horrible disease and his service to our beautiful country is one to be proud of!! Just reading the posts of all the lives touched and more importantly, how he treated his fellow countryman shows what a beautiful heart he had!

I am sorry for your loss and I am remembering your family in my prayers. I was part of the Commissioning Crew of the USS Roosevelt. Mr. Bobola was the best Captain a Sailor could ask for. His care and concern for his Sailors was evident in all that he did. Captain Bobola was a great man and a great Sailor who impacted many lives and left a lifelong impression on all who served under his Command.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband, father, brother, son, and friend. Matt served as my Destroyer Squadron Commander aboard USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT, and was a fantastic shipmate and absolutely brilliant naval officer. We spent many hours together on the flag bridge strategizing about how to best run the strike group . . . and we had a lot of laughs together. It still brings tears to my eyes when I recall him describing how he would go trick-or-treating with his daughter dressed in the same costume, and he nonchalantly related "I'll never forget the time we went out together as ballerinas . . ." He was a wonderful man and good friend, and I was very sad to hear of his passing. I know he is in a better place, smiling at us all . . .

I read with great saddness about the passing of Matt Bobola. I was the Lead Combat Systems Instructor at SWO, Newport, RI (1986-89) when Matt was learning his trade. As I recall, he was a bright student and team player; he also became a very good friend. Matt and I bowled on the same team in Newport and were always competing with each other for high scoring games and totals – I think we broke even on who bought the beers!! I retired in 1989 and lost track of Matt and Suzanne as both he and I moved around chasing careers. Never realized that Matt and Suzanne were living right up the road from us – we have lived in Camden since 2004. I do plan to attend the Memorial service on Sept 21st.
An old saying to those Naval folks who pass on –
SAILOR, Rest your oars!!

To the Bobola family,
As my Commodore while I served onboard USS OSCAR AUSTIN, and embarked our ship many times. He was never without smile and a good joke-always ready to talk Sailors and tactics. I considered him a great man and mentor; always finding time for each and every Sailor. I can only share my thoughts of appreciation having known him and offer my deepest condolences on the loss of Captain Bobola. May all your family and friends give you strength and comfort at this difficult time.With deepest sympathy, Commander Dave and Mrs. Jennifer Pearson

Dear Suzanne and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you are in our prayers. Praying for our Lord to hold you close.
Chief Yeoman Cody D. Harmon, U.S. Navy on
September 16th, 2013 11:50 am
To the Bobola Family:
It is not too often that we come across a great man, Father, leader and person as Mr. Bobola was to me and my family. He often reminded me while he was Deputy and Chief of Staff of Naval Surface Force Atlantic with RADM Quinn, that a man is only as good as his family – he is an example of that. Always in good spirits and fair to everyone, he kept us focused yet smiling because life was too short to deal with the "BS" (as he would say). We, the Navy, have lost a great leader and certainly a great man in this time. His legacy will live on through us and he will never be forgotten.
Always know that your Navy family and my family are praying for you now and always. Our thoughts are sincere and our prayers are to give you strength and comfort in this time and in the future.
With deepest sincerity,
Cody D. Harmon & fmly

To the entire Bobola family,
Capt Bobola was a great man who taught one of my maritime warfare classes at CSFTL and what I remember is that warfighting excellence was something of a legacy. I also remember his generous smile and also his ability to impart wisdom without sounding pretentious or condescending. I'm very sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family at this time.
Sincerely and V/R,
LCDR Rosie Goscinski

Bobola family,
I was so sorry to hear about CAPT Bobola's passing. I worked with him at my last command, got to see at least three full-sized Halloween costumes which made me smile, and had enjoyed many lunches in the breakroom talking about post-Navy plans. Matt was gracious enough to offer to be my officiating officer at my retirement ceremony and, also, said the prayers for it. He always talked about you and had photos of the kids on his desk. He will definitely be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Matt. Matt's Father, Ed, and I served together in the Navy and through that I knew Matt. I remember when Matt was commissioned by Ed at USC and we followed Matt's career ever since. Matt was very gracious to us at the commissioning of the USS Roosevelt. He was a fine man and will be greatly missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

To the Family and Dear Friends of Matt Bobola: I am deeply sadden to hear of Matt's passing. As a waterfront contemporary of Matt's, I admired his comfortable command of his ship, his ready enthusiasm to help a squadron-mate, and his wit to find humor in even the most dire situations. May you find comfort in knowing that many in the navy were touched by him in a most positive way. Salute…ready, two. mtf.

My deepest sympathy to the Bobola Family during this very difficult time. Captain Bobola was loved by the Chief's Mess! He was firm but fair at work but he also joined us during our Wednesday night bowling outings in Naples. You could always guarantee a win with the Skipper on your team! The impact he had on Sailors young and old lives on today. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He will be missed!
Very Respectfully,

Matthew Bobola was my CO. He was more than a supervisor though. He was a great man and tried to enhance everyones life and enrich thier lives in a lasting way. He was the best CO and easily one of the best people I ever met. The world will be much sadder without him. I would like to thank his family for allowing us so much of his time. Be proud of how much of an impact he has had. I look forward to sailing to heaven to meet him once more.

Throughout my 20 years of naval service, I never had a commanding officer who cared more for his crew than Captain Babola. To this day, I tell my family and friends how he was my favorite commanding officer and how much of an impact he had on me. I am deeply saddened about his passing. Mrs. Babola and family, you have my sincerest condolences and pray that the lord be with you all in your mourning. God bless you.

HI this is my first message so hope it comes across well,
I am having a downstairs toilet removed to make a bigger kitchen,as well as an archway from the kitchen to the living room to enable me to watch my disabled son whilst cooking, My housing are going to be putting in a new bulk standard white kitchen which is thankfully not to bad, I am going to be personalizing it and trying to make it as much 1930s style as possible, So far I have got some nice fabric to do some curtains to cover the washing machine, dryer, fridge & freezer, I am hoping to get some nice reclaimed or retro handles,(ideas of best places to look would be amazing) As the fabric and the clock are going to be the main starters as I have both of them & then have quite a large amount of Blue in them I am thinking of doing the kitchen in Yellow, what do you think of Blues & yellows? As you will be able to see the living room from the kitchen although not open plan as such the arch way is open with out door and about the size of a door & a half I was thinking of doing the opposite in the living room so Yellow fabrics and duck egg blue walls,
I have put a bid on a blanket box for the living room and some nice style 30s retro chairs fingers crossed,
Everything that is fabric in the room has to be washable, so am looking for family friendly ideas for the room, as so far Ive only got the blanket box, & chair ideas, the table is already waiting to be sanded and stained, Should I stain all the wood the same colour and what stain do you think would go with yellow & duck egg blues, All ideas welcome, The fabric I have is the same as the chairs so would be amazing if I win this bid |

Hello All, Neighbors, strangers from other blocks walk their dogs through our neighborhood. Their dogs regularly pee in my garden bed killing off some beautiful thyme I've been trying to get to cover up an area... What do I do? I'm searching for a plant that is supposed to deter dogs but I've forgotten the name. I've searched through herbal catalogues and came up with zilch.. Does anyone remember what this plant is called. It's got a dense leaf. Reminds me of a coleus but green and have thicker leaves. Ianna. |

How outrageous of those dog-walkers to not keep their animals out of your flower beds! It makes my blood boil and makes me want to put up a sign in your garden where they couldn't miss it -- "If your dog uses my garden as a toilet, I shall follow you home and then send my dog/kids to use your front porch in a likewise manner." [ and I'm not altogether certain that I'm kidding, either. grrrrrrr.] Hope you can get that plant and that it works!! |
I'd put a polite (but obvious) sign right at the edge of the garden saying something like 'Please keep your dogs out of my garden'. Worth a try at least. |

It is bad for a dog walker to "allow" their pets to pee...but sometimes they sneak in a squirt so fast that all you can do is jerk them away with the leash...still if the plant is sensitive it's too late. I have some creeping oragano that is very pretty, similar to thyme, and my dogs pee on it all the time with no affect. (I will not be using this particular oragano in my spaghetti however.) :) |

Fall Arrest Systems
Vertical Fall Protection
Horizontal Fall Protection
Personal Fall
Protection Equipment
MultiRail Horizontal Rail
The horizontal anchorage device for securing persons exposed to risk of falling.
The MultiRail horizontal anchorage device is a new type of personal safety system combining all the advantages of wire rope-based and rail-types stationary systems.
MultiRail offers a very wide range of installation possibilities and guarantees protection against falls in hazardous zones, in accordance with European Standards.
MultiRail has been fully tested according to the European Guidelines for personal safety equipment. Fixing centres can be up to 4m and it is certified for simultaneous use by up to 6 persons.
In the case of a fall, the resultant forces are absorbed by the intermediate brackets therefore the end fixings loads are much lower than in the case of cable lifeline systems.
Due the simplicity of its design, MultiRail does not have to be serviced yearly as must be done with cable lifeline systems – thus reducing lifetime costs.

Some of this weeks blooms have been added to my blog. With bloom season moving into fast forward mode, I'll try to post pictures on the blog every few days. I like putting the pics on the blog because I can see them better ( guess my age is showing!) Sad but true. Please visit if you have a chance.

Thanks floota!!Ellie |
Julie - I haven't read your most recent blog because I had to catch up on the one about yellows. Luckily it was about a lot more than yellows. (They're probably my least favorite.) I really got a kick out of Edd's Red Bed. I just love that he really made it look like a sleeping bed. So cute! And your clump shot of Frilly Bliss was heavenly! Thanks for so many great photos of the Region 14 Tour. Debra |
Another update was just posted to my blog with lots of pics from this week! Many spiders, UFs and small/ mini blooms in the early season. Link is below. |

I just looked at all your June 5 pphotos. I really like Grace Stamile's (something) Flirt, was is 'Blue Flirt'? and the new spider introduction from Gossard. So there is a name for that petal folding over problem - tunnelling, you say? I've had some doing that also. And faded colors, and smaller than usual blooms, and some that never opened at all... The reds seem to be doing better than the other colors, have you noticed this? Christine |
Hi Christine, Yes, this is a common occurrence in cooler climates. People call this by a lot of different names - canoeing, tunneling, boating, etc. Although we are below normal rainfall, we have gotten some rain and colors are normal. Colors always look more intense here after rain, and no, I haven't noticed any difference in reds this year. I have been spraying ( more than normal with the upcoming regional) and the thrips have disappeard this year - hooray! |
Blue Flirt and Mark Allen Carpenter are real eyecatchers for me. You've posted some beauties alright....Maryl |
Beautiful flowers! I especially like The Band Played On, and the name too :) and Green Inferno. That tunneling on Barcode (if I am right) doesn't look so bad. What I don't like is when one petal won't open correctly, and that happens quite often here.. |
Exhibition judges call this trait ( when one petal isn't correctly opened) "tonguing". It is considered a fault for an exhibit in a flower show and points are deducted. This week I have walked past a LOT of blooms that were not opened properly because of the weather. We normally don't see that around here, but the cool weather has sure given us a taste of it. This AM it was so cold that I didn't even bother with the camera and will try to get a few pics tonight! |
Just posted again - see topics below! |

THQ's filing for bankruptcy is a positive step that will enable the sale of the company and hopefully ensure that its in-development titles see the light of day.
That's according to THQ president Jason Rubin, who has written an open letter to the gaming community in an attempt to explain the company's current position.
Last night the publisher announced it plans to sell all of its games and assets. A private investment firm has lodged a bid for $60 million, but THQ's bankruptcy process allows for other bidders to make competing offers over the next month or so.
"The sale [of the company] needs to be completed through a Chapter 11 proceeding of the Bankruptcy code," Rubin explained.
"The most important thing to understand is that Chapter 11 does not mean the end of the THQ story or the end of the titles you love. Quite the opposite is true, actually.
"Chapter 11 is a safety net for U.S. companies. American Airlines is currently in Chapter 11 restructuring, yet I flew back and forth on that airline when I visited Volition two weeks ago. Donald Trump and his companies have been in Chapter 11 four times. You can add to that list household names such as Macy's, Eddie Bauer, the Chicago Cubs, Chrysler, Delta Airlines, General Motors, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Marvel Studios, and MGM, among many others.
"MGM filed Chapter 11 two years ago, and this year it released Skyfall and The Hobbit, two of the biggest titles of the year. That's what I mean when I say new start!
"Whatever happens, the teams and products look likely to end up together and in good hands. That means you can still pre-order Metro: Last Light, Company of Heroes 2, and South Park: The Stick of Truth.
"Our teams are still working on those titles as you read this, and all other rumored titles, like the fourth Saints Row, the Homefront sequel, and a lot more are also still in the works."
Legal documents related to THQ's bankruptcy filing have revealed a number of unannounced games in development for the publisher, including new titles from Darksiders 2 developer Vigil Games, Left 4 Dead co-developer Turtle Rock and THQ Montreal, the team helmed by former Assassin's Creed creative lead Patrice Désilets.

Dal makhani is liked by all my family members but as it is high in calories, I make it less frequently but this low-cal version is really great and with no compromise in taste it is really easy to make and healthier and delicious.
With one tsp of oil, this dal makhani comes out well. Great for those looking for a health option.

Press Release, 05-28
USPTO Completes Move to New Headquarters
WASHINGTON, D.C. --The U.S. Department of Commerce's United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today announced completion of its move to new, consolidated headquarters in Alexandria, VA, which involved relocating over 7,000 employees and contractors. The consolidation from 18 buildings in Crystal City, VA, is expected to save the federal government more than $98 million over the 20-year term of the lease.
The USPTO's new 2.4 million sq. ft. facility includes five interconnected buildings, designed in a "U" shape configuration to form a campus-like setting. The centerpiece of the facility is the signature "Madison" building, remarkable for its 10-story atrium. The USPTO headquarters also includes four companion office buildings and two parking structures, each with a facade of townhouse offices.
"We are proud that construction stayed on or ahead of schedule and under budget," noted Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO Jon Dudas. "We now have a world-class, state-of-the-art facility that is better equipped to support the mission of the USPTO."
USPTO's new headquarters is designed to accommodate cutting edge technology, necessary to fully automate the processing of patent and trademark applications. Modern buildings and equipment and employee-friendly services, including a child-development center, multipurpose meeting facilities, and fitness center, give USPTO the opportunity to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce.
For more information on the new USPTO campus, see attached fact sheet .

Flint Implements Special Events Curfew

What exactly is a 'special events curfew'? Read more to find out.
Well it finally happened. It is official the old record amount 82.9 inches, set in the 1974-75 season for snowfall has been broken. According to the National Weather Service in Flint at 2 a.m. Tuesday, eight-tenths of an inch fell in Flint, pushing the seasonal total to 83.4 inches.
Federal aid allows Flint and Saginaw to bulldoze over 2,500 abandoned buildings and other eyesores.
The annual 'Back To The Bricks' celebration wraps up today in downtown Flint as the entire area becomes a parking lot for classic cars. If you've never been to this, it may be something you'll want to check out
It's the holiday season and we need to look at the things we are thankful for. Right now, it seems like things are starting to look up again for Michigan.
So...a little bit of snow came down. As usual, every year, the morons that shouldn't have drivers licenses come out like it's July. And drive like it's July.

Last Day Dog Rescue
Facts about Rory
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
My name is Rory!
Rory's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
If interested in any of our animals for adoption, or to foster an animal, please fill out the respective application to get the process started. Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process.
Rory is a young 2 year old boy. He is a very timid boy who came from a hoarding situation. So his human contact was limited until he was saved by LDDR at 6 months. He is very smart and attentive. He has passed a basic and intermediate obedience class. He loves to play with other dogs. He is crate trained but becomes anxious if crated for long periods. He does like to chase cats but really wants to play. So he would be okay with a secure kitty. Rory would also be best with older children who understand how to respect dogs.
Rory loves to run, jump and play. He would make a great agility dog once you have earned his trust. Could you be Rory's forever home?
Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all dogs before adoption. AVID Microchips are implanted between the dog's shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the dog is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Dogs MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our dogs back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog.
The petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD-ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power wise, both boards consume just about the same amount at stock speeds. The EP45-UD3P manages just a slight drop thanks to newer components along with the UD3s new PCB design.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboards, this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
Here is where we see a change; the UD3P manages to drop heat on the NB, SB and Mosfets by a bit, but it's not here that the real benefits are. The PCB temps are supposed to drop with UD3, but we couldn't really test that as we don't have an IR camera to test this out. However, we were greeted with lower motherboard temps according to the software utility in windows. How accurate they are is left to you, but a 10 degree drop was registered.

How do I help set up a good home routine to support what my child does in school every day?
It has been a busy start for many families! Now that we have been in school for a few weeks, it's a good time for you to check in with what's working, and what you may need to restructure in your home to make for a better routine for your family. Routines are critical for students, and they need structures in place at home, too, to be ready for the demands of school each day.
Here are a few routines to consider:
• A place for practice: Have a designated place for home learning. Having a place for your children to put their backpacks every day after school and a place they can work on schoolwork alleviates stress and emphasizes expectations. In addition, have a designated time for children to work on their homework, and, depending upon their age, when you will sit down and review it with them. Consistent expectations are critical to success. If your children are completing their work at a daycare center or with others, consider making it a point to review it before they go to bed. It is so important that you know what is going on in school and what your children know and with what subjects they're struggling. As I have said before, you are your child's first and most important teacher. When you know what they are working on in school, you can make a point to extend the learning everywhere you go, be it pointing out the types of clouds you see in the sky, reading words on signs, using opportunities for math through the use of money and weight of produce at the grocery store, or sharing the role of government within our community or at the national level.
• Limit TV and computer time: Agree and follow through on your personal family policy around technology. Will they be able to watch one show after school or before bedtime? Will they get thirty minutes of monitored computer time after homework is completed? Make a plan that works for you and follow through on it.
• Have chores and must-dos: Do you have a setup bedtime routine that allows your child to wind down at night and a morning routine that provides for a stress-free start to the day? Routines that are predictable help children increase their independence because they know what is expected of them. It makes things easier on their parents too. Children should know what they need to do during their nighttime routine, whether it's helping with the clean up that needs to be done, preparing their backpack for the next day, helping pack lunches, or taking out the garbage. Children also need to know what to do in the mornings so they can be prepared and the atmosphere can stay calm for everyone. A chore chart or list may be a good way to increase this independence and prepare them for school. A check-off list with pictures or words they know will help everyone make sure their responsibilities are completed. This is incredibly important, as it creates security and increases self-esteem when children are able to feel good about their abilities to accomplish tasks.
I hope your year is off to a good start. If it isn't, try to identify what is going wrong and what you can do to fix it. Setting up routines now will help make for a successful year. Fall conferences are coming up at the end of October and this opportunity will be great to get to know your child's teacher better, see where your child falls in relation to where he/she needs to be, and set goals for the year. Creating expectations and routines at home will free up time to work on these specific academic goals.

20 February 2013
The quarterly performance monitor issued by the Office of Rail Regulation highlighted the impact of extreme weather on train performance.
"It has been a difficult period for passengers, with disruption on many lines due to extreme weather. Our staff worked tirelessly, often in difficult circumstances, to get the railway back up and running and we would like to thank passengers and train operators for bearing with us during this time.
The damage that extreme weather can do to a Victorian rail network which was neither designed nor built for such challenges is clear. Whole lines were closed by flooding and tracks came close to being washed away by rivers which burst their banks. On the worst affected parts of the network, torrential rain caused up to sixty landslides in a single day.
This has been a wake up call for the whole industry, which we ignore at our peril. As we set out when we launched our strategic business plan in January, we are playing catch up on decades of under-investment. Nowhere is this more apparent than with the embankments, cuttings, bridges, tunnels and other structures which have struggled to cope with extreme weather, alongside the burden of carrying more passengers than they were designed for. Our submission to our regulator for the next five-year funding settlement reflects our plan to tackle this."
David Higgins, chief executive, Network Rail
Our strategic business plan (England and Wales) for control period 5 (2014-19) was published on 8 January 2013. The plan contains details on the need to future-proof critical infrastructure against the impact of changing weather patterns, including more frequent flooding.
The majority of our structures and earthworks assets are over a century old. They degrade very slowly which, meaning their longevity, can lead to a perception that the asset is more robust than is actually the case. In the last periodic review, the case was not fully established for our proposed increase in expenditure of around £300m. During this control period we have carried out extensive further analysis of the required activity and expenditure levels. This analysis supports a significant increase in renewals to address the previous under investment.

Designed to stimulate an interdisciplinary, inter-generational community of scholars, the University Scholars Program was created in 1998 by the Office of the Vice-Provost of Interdisciplinary Studies with a gift from Duke University Trustee Emerita Melinda French Gates and her husband Bill Gates, through the William H. Gates Foundation.
Undergraduate, graduate, and professional school University Scholars are selected for their ability to explore new academic horizons. They represent a range of personal and intellectual backgrounds and share an excitement for original research, collaborative thinking, and innovative scholarship.
Features of the University Scholars Program Common to All Scholars
University Scholars Seminars
These informal seminars, held every two weeks, bring together graduate and professional school University Scholars, undergraduate scholars, and interested faculty, as well as distinguished visiting scholars, scientists and artists. Students of all levels are encouraged to lead a seminar on their own work-in-progress or on a topic of particular interest to them.
Annual University Scholars Symposium
Each year, University Scholars will showcase their research and scholarship in a symposium to which the entire university community is invited. Previous Symposia include:
- "Cities in Evolution: Imagination and Reinvention" (2006)
- "The End of the World (As We Know It)" (2005)
- "Truth Lies Within <-> Within Lies Truth" (2004)
- "We Will Remember It For You" (2003)
- "Exposing Privacy" (2002)
- "Perspectives on Political Change: South Africa and USA" (2001)
- "From Faust to the Future: The Costs & Rewards of [too much?] Knowledge" (2000)
University Scholars Mentoring
An informal, intellectual mentoring program offers interdisciplinary research possibilities, helps to shape multidisciplinary interests into an interdisciplinary program, and encourages collaborative thinking and intellectual risk-taking.
University Scholars Coffees

"Sheds little light"
Having listened to half of this title, I consider this a great disappointment. I was looking for some insight into how English developed and how language develops in general, but there was little insightful about that here. Just as an example, the great vowel shift, a great mystery in the history of English, is barely mentioned. I guess it would be interesting if you aren't interested in linguistics but only in a sketch of English history, but I had hoped for much more than that, given the title and reviews on this website.


text: Ground Zeroes Being 2-5 Hours in Length is "False", According to Ayako Nick Calandra February 5, 2014 We recently got in touch with Ayako, the personal assistant to Hideo Kojima about the information spreading around that Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes' main mission can be completed in under 2 hours. According to Ayako, this information is not correct. When we asked about the game being so short, she told us that the Kotaku article was "false" and not to "believe them." False article. Don't believe them. "@Official_OnlySP: @Kaizerkunkun Do you have any comment on GZ being only 2-5 hours in length?" — Ayako (Touchy!) (@Kaizerkunkun) February 5, 2014 She had earlier responded to another user as well, also telling them the article was false, but failing to go into specifics. However, she did try to make it clear that the game was not a paid demo back in December. 2 corrections. #1, it's not a demo. #2 I'm not nuts.(´・Д・)」 "@meniH8: @Kaizerkunkun paying for a demo? Are you nuts?" — Ayako (Touchy!) (@Kaizerkunkun) December 19, 2013 We can't be entirely sure how big Ground Zeroes really is, but according to Kojima in a previous interview with VG247, there are multiple "open-worlds" in Ground Zeroes. Kojima stated, "there will be larger open worlds, and you can use the helicopter between those open world stages." As Kotaku noted from the Game Informe article, there is more than one mission in the game, and there's also a number of collectibles to find, leaderboards and so on. However, the price of the game isn't as steep as you may think it is. The only reason the game would cost you $40 is if you buy it in a physical form via the next-gen consoles. On the PS3 and Xbox 360 it will be $20 digitally, which if the game turns out to be just 2-5 hours long, is comparable to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and its gameplay time, which cost users $15. On the PS4 and Xbox One, it will cost you $30 digitally and $40 for a physical copy. Open-world games, even semi-open are very hard to put a time stamp on. If you run through a game that focuses on stealth, obviously it won't take you as long as someone who plays it via a stealth approach. Update: He first cleared main mission, Gazing at the Ending, speechless. pic.twitter.com/5buBIBpN0Y — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) February 5, 2014 Japanese media got their first preview of Ground Zeroes as well, Kojima tweeted this picture of a press member apparently finishing the "main mission".This could add some extra validation to GameInformer's claims of the game's length. We've sent out multiple requests for comment on an estimation of the game's full length and will update the story once we receive a reply. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for an instant update, if and when we get a reply. SilentHashassin Who gives a fuck what some gaming article says. I am buying this for 30$ from PSN. benbenkr I'm buying this for $60 including TPP, no way I'm paying $40 now and pay $60 for TPP (assuming it'll be at that price) later on. $100 for one entire game then is stupid. ChatWraithDeux I've paid 100 dollars for collector's editions, and had I known how much I'd love mgs4 back then, I'd have paid 100 dollars for a collector's edition of that too. I'll pay whatever I need to for what kojima releases satisfied as his mgs5. benbenkr Except… you aren't paying $100 for a CE here. You're paying $100 for the normal edition. Whatever man, your money, your decision. My opinion, $100 for a game is stupid. ChatWraithDeux Well I mean realistically you pay 20 cheapest for this one and 40 cheapest for the phantom pain, which comes out to a normal 60 dollar game. michael allen Please… The only games I kept for my PS3 are MGS HD Collection and MGS IV Special Edition. I don't care about the length or the price. That's the problem with people who are "into" gaming nowadays. You play the game until you exhausted everything in it. Not just one mission. I want to play MG on my PS4. generic-user-name a.k.a GUN "We can't be entirely sure how big Ground Zeroes really is, but according to Kojima in a previous interview with VG247, there are multiple "open-worlds" in Ground Zeroes" Nope nope nope nope nope. There are multiple open worlds in MGSV but not the Ground Zeroes portion of it. In Ground Zeroes all you'll have is the Cuban 'Camp Omega' and maybe Mother Base, but even if Mother Base is there it won't exactly be huge. http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra You sure? The way I read that interview, it was specifically talking about Ground Zeroes. "Open-Worlds" was also in quotes as that is what Kojima called it, rather than open ended missions. generic-user-name a.k.a GUN I'm sure, I know my Metal Gear Solid. If that was his quote then it was either a misquote or a mistake on his part or a translation error. When Phantom Pain comes out then we'll get the multiple open worlds. Budgiecat We will find out the truth sooner or later… hakesterman_the_Fool That you're wrong? KIRBYdaDOG either way it should only cost 20$ on ps4 as well. Why does a demo like this cost 10$ more on ps4/xbox1 vs ps3/360? Ill get it on ps4 when its in the bargain bin for 10$, im not paying that much for something that is obviously cut from the actual game to sell us a game for 40+60= $100 Russell Gorall The more the PR people try to downplay it, the more attention it gets. Forty dollar demo.

Small Businesses Need Websites, Too
My blurbs No Comments »Even if you are a small business, it is important to have a website for your company. If you are still relying on older marketing techniques to get the word out about your business, you are losing customers. If your business is very small, the task of designing and maintaining a website can be overwhelming. It doesn't have to be. There are many different services offered for small businesses to help them have a successful website. When looking for the best web hosting service for your company, consider the following questions:
Do you want to design it yourself or get a professional design?
Do you want to allow customers to make a purchase online?
How much technical support and IT management do you want?
Template or Professional Design
Whether or not you want to use a template to design your website or get it professionally designed is a personal choice that needs to take into account the needs of your business. If your website is mostly used to generate leads or convey information, a template might be sufficient. The more complex the needs of your website, the more likely you will want a professional design. But that doesn't mean that you need to search the classified ads to find a website designer. Many web hosting companies offer that service when you sign up with them.
Purchase over the Internet
If you want to sell products online, you will need a secure website. This is a website where the information is encrypted while it is being transferred. Banks and other websites use this feature all the time to protect their customers' privacy.
Technical Support
It is important that you find a company that will offer you technical support 24/7. This means that if your website goes down during a public holiday, they will have someone working on it immediately to get it up and running again. In addition, if you don't have the technical expertise to manage all the details of your website, then you might need a hosting company that offers managed IT support. When searching for the best web hosting service for you, look at different options they offer for managed support, and make sure they have one that fits your needs.

So 4 times a year we have an innovation week (to even out the odd sprint releases). This whole week is dedicated to experimenting with new technology/ideas that could potentially help progress the software department or the company as a whole, and serve as sort of a starting point for new ideas and brainstorming.
For example, the last one contained a lot of projects. One was the re-design of our web app into more of a Web 2.0 look and feel using JQuery and a lot of cool CSS tricks. Another was a proposal for a new bug tracking software as opposed to the clearly outdated one we use, and another was a very cool JQuery/Js design that could show the same page to multiple users on different computers and allow each of them to take "charge" of the page, disabling the other one from doing anything, and vice versa, seeing all updates in real time -- sort of like Netmeeting through Js.
Well, this is my first one as a new employee so I wanted to think of something cool. We get one week (anywhere from 40-60 hours or so), and we usually pair up or do this in groups of 3-4, depending on how many projects there are. Projects have to get approved but usually that doesn't prove to be too difficult.
We are in the financial analysis software industry if the domain was leading you guys to think of anything helpful. I am primarily working on a web app in MVC 2 at the moment using a lot of JQuery and a C# backend.
Do you guys have any idea of something that would be cool/beneficial/worth it?

[1460] Parietal Epithelial Cell Activation Distinguishes Early Recurrence of FSGS in the Transplant from Minimal Change Disease.
Huma Fatima, Marcus J Moeller, Bart Smeets, Hai-Chung Yang, Agnes B Fogo. Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN; University Hospital of RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Background: Podocyte (PODO) loss is a key factor leading to glomerulosclerosis. Podocytes have limited regenerative capacity. Parietal epithelial cells (PEC) have been proposed as niche stem cells that can transition to podocytes. CD44 is a glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and migration and is a marker for activated PEC. We investigated whether activated PEC contribute to pathogenesis of recurrent FSGS in transplant.
Design: A total of 25 transplant renal biopsies from 12 patients with recurrent FSGS and four cases of minimal change disease (MCD) were stained for CD44. Of the 25 biopsies of recurrent FSGS, 16 early biopsies had only extensive foot process effacement (FPE) by electron microscopy and no segmental sclerosis and 9 later biopsies had segmental sclerosis. There were a total of 94, 111 and 53 glomeruli in MCD, FPE only and segmental sclerosis cases, respectively. 10 of 53 glomeruli in segmental sclerosis cases had segmental lesions. In each biopsy individual glomeruli were evaluated for the number of epithelial cells staining for CD44 along Bowman's capsule, in anatomical PEC location, and over the glomerular tuft, in anatomical PODO location.
Results: In MCD cases on average 0.05% of glomeruli stained positive for CD44 in PODO location, and 0.01% of glomeruli showed positive staining in PEC location. FPE only cases showed significantly increased positivity in PODO location, on average 0.34 vs 0.06 of glomeruli positive in MCD (p <0.01) and trend for increased CD44 positivity in PEC location, 0.06 vs 0.01 in MCD (p=0.072). In segmental sclerosis cases, there were on average 0.8 positive cells in PODO location in glomeruli without segmental lesion, compared to 4.9 positive cells/ glomerulus in glomeruli with segmental lesions, with most positive cells located in the lesional area. In contrast, average CD44 positive cells in PEC location were similar in glomeruli with (2.8) or without lesions (1.6).
Conclusions: We conclude that there is significantly increased PEC activity in evolving FSGS vs MCD and this may distinguish MCD from early FSGS. Whether the PEC activation is causal and contributes to sclerosis in the pathogenesis of idiopathic FSGS or is a regenerative/ repair response to replace injured podocytes or both, awaits further study.

Joe D.: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Annual Hall of Fame ceremonies were held in Canton Ohio this last weekend. Joe DeLamielleure was among the Hall of Famers in attendance along with several other players who are part of the Eller Class Action suit (including Carl and Paul Krause. A surprise guest showed up – Joe D. provides some notes on the event:
This dinner is always strictly for Hall of Fame players and the new inductees only. So most of us were wondering – some loudly – Who invited Smith?
When De Smith walked into the room to speak, around 12 of the guys actually walked out.
When Smith spoke, it was obvious that he had no idea that this audience consisted mostly of pre-1993 players.
An informal count indicated there were at least 40 Hall of Fame players who were each receiving less than $200 a month ($176) in pensions and Smith was asked what their increases would be in the new CBA. Smith said that their pensions would increase to $1,000 to $1,500.
Paul Krause and Carl Eller asked about pension increases for retired players and never received a straight answer.
Carl Eller also asked if retired players could represent themselves and Smith answered, "I would not be opposed to that" in front of the group.

From Christa Wells
No Albums Currently AvailableFrom Christa Wells
No Albums Currently AvailableAbout
Christa Wells is an award-winning songwriter known for penning outside-the-box hits like "Held" (Natalie Grant) and "Need You Now" (Plumb). Over the past several years, she's been coming into her own as an indie artist, delivering honest, piano-driven pop songs on grief, hope, faith and community in her own unique voice & style. FEED YOUR SOUL, Christa's most recent release, only further solidifies her reputation for writing music that poignantly articulates the condition of the human heart.
Christa expertly weaves lyrics & melody and works with her producers at Zodlounge Music in Nashville to set the songs in a sonic landscape that moves from energetic full-production (Vanity Vanity) to intimate acoustic performances (Have Your Eyes Open). Her vocal style has been compared to Alison Sudol (A Fine Frenzy), Regina Spektor, and Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs).
Feed Your Soul explores a sub-theme of learning to love & be loved. For this project, Christa received plenty of love from her fans in a successful Kickstarter campaign that funded most of her recording costs.
Despite the outpouring of support, Christa found the process terrifying. About the campaign, Christa says, "You feel so vulnerable and exposed and indebted and needy." The experience influenced her writing. On "Being Loved," for example, Christa sings: Being loved is a hard thing to take / I will try, I will try, while the song's cinematic bridge conveys vulnerability: We are born unclothed / As we came, we will go.
Prior to Feed Your Soul, Christa had released two solo projects (Frame the Clouds & How Emptiness Sings) and collaborated on several other projects. In spring of 2013, Christa and fellow songwriter Nicole Witt released an album of folk-inspired worship music under the band name More Than Rubies.
Christa's 2011 EP How Emptiness Sings received excellent reviews. Ken Davis of New Release Tuesday called it "one of the most captivating albums I've ever heard." The Christian Manifesto said the record was "nothing short of phenomenal."
The path to her Christa's present success was non-traditional. Instead of spending her twenties networking and performing at showcases, Christa married early, started a family, and moved from Nashville to Raleigh, North Carolina. Motherhood, performance anxiety, and advice from veteran songwriter Dwight Liles led Christa to focus on her writing.
In 2006, Christa was named Songwriter of the Year by the Gospel Music Association for Natalie Grant's recording of "Held." In this heartbreaking and inspirational song about the loss of a baby boy, Christa writes: This is what it is to be loved and to know / That the promise was that when everything fell / We'd be held.
In 2009, Christa returned to the stage, overcoming her performance anxiety along the way. Since then, she has performed upwards of fifty dates a year, frequently with collaborator Nicole Witt. Christa has also written for and with recording artists Point of Grace, Plumb, Selah, Sara Groves, Nicol Sponberg, and Jessica Campbell. "Day by Day," a song Christa co-wrote with Plumb, was recorded by Point of Grace and reached #1 on the Contemporary Christian Market charts.
Christa currently lives with her family in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Jay Leno drives Lexus LFA Roadster in its motherland
There is only one Jay Leno and there is only one Fuji Speedway. It turns out there is also only one Lexus LFA Roadster. Put them together and you have the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. Leno, as you may recall, recently did a tour of Japan which previously saw him at Nissan discussing the future of the Z. In this video, the comedian heads to Toyota City to watch the LFA being built and then to Oyama, Japan to drive the aforementioned fresh-air version of the V10 supercar around Fuji.
Jay says this is the only roofless LFA that's going to be built (we're not sure what that says for the maroon model they showed at auto shows in 2008 – perhaps that one wasn't a runner or it's been repainted white). In this case, you can can take the word "roofless" literally – the top isn't stowed somewhere, the LFA Roadster doesn't have one at all. That never seems to curtail the enjoyment, however, with Jay exclaiming "Oh my God!" more than once and declaring of other supercars, "None feel as refined as this."
The LFA Roadster, Jay's Serious Driving Face, glorious V10 revving and a matte black LFA built for a Buddhist monk are all in the video below.

New Balance sneakers have long been an under the radar staple in the street shoe game. The brand doesn't have the marketing impact of Adidas or the high profile endorsement deals of Nike, but it does have good quality, durable and comfortable shoes that come in a variety of styles.
You can go with the off the wall moccasin basketball shoes if you're looking to bring some heritage to the court that day, or if it's an outdoor night game, try on the glow in the dark New Balance sneakers and your feet will look like streaks.
One of the best things about New Balance sneakers is the plethora of colorways from sandy brown and white to bumble bee yellow with white and black. These shoes are a great alternative to the bigger sneaker brands.
