I think this is so funny but don't know how true it is:
There was a girl in Zimbabwe (my country) a few years or whatever ago, who's parachutes didn't open and she smacked the ground. Anyway, people who were watching from a distance saw her body hit the ground and bounce to the height of a tall tree. Ha! ha!
How would you prefer to die out of this list, or any other ways you can think up that'd be bad? I'd rather be burnt alive than anything else.
Death is so funny, don't you think? It's so often, absolutely tragic and random that you have to laugh at it, or you'll go mad and never leave the house for fear of dying.
I can't vote for some reason, but the worst
would probably be AIDS. But being burnt alive
would be absolutely awful too.
I think the best way to die out of all those
would be the sky-diving accident, because
you'd be dead instantly when you hit the
ground. Although it would be terrifying while
you fell.
But I heard there's some sort of calmness
when you're faced with certain death,
so maybe it would be okay.
Okay, I heard that from a TV show, but it
could be true. :)
"When you can't run, you crawl, and when
you can't crawl, when you can't do that, you
find someone to carry you."
"If nothing we do matters, then all that
matters is what we do."
You people sicken me. Stop being so morbid and lighten up! Life is way too short to dwell on the inevitable end. We are all going to die someday, so why not enjoy the time we have left?
"What is the purpose of life? It is to create our own purpose."

Fewer than half of adults identified with acute HIV infection in a southeastern US study group got diagnosed at their first healthcare visit with HIV, according to results of a 155-person study. Reflecting the HIV epidemic across the United States, many newly infected people were young black men who have sex with men (MSM). In 1998 HIV researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina established the Duke-UNC AHI (acute HIV infection) Research Consortium Cohort to study acute infection in adults in the region. Cohort members must have a positive nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) and either a negative enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test or a positive EIA with a negative or indeterminate Western blot. From 1998 through 2010, the Duke-UNC team enrolled 155 people with acute infection, 81 of them (52%) African American, 63 (41%) non-Hispanic white, 137 (88%) men, 18 women, and 108 (70%) MSM. Median age of the study group was 27 years (interquartile range [IQR] 22 to 38). Most cohort members—138 of 155 (89%)—reported acute infection symptoms that lasted for a median 17.5 days (IQR 22 to 38). Median nadir CD4 count stood at 408 cells/µL (IQR 289 to 563) and median observed peak viral load at 726,859 copies/mL (IQR 167,585 to 3,565,728). Among 152 cohort members with available data, the emergency room was the most frequent site of initial medical contact, in 55 people (36%). Among 137 people with available data, only 62 (45%) had acute HIV infection diagnosed at their first medical contact after becoming infected. The researchers note that the demographics of the study group "reflect the epidemic of this geographic area with a high proportion of African-Americans, including young black MSM." They also observe that women make up a small fraction of the study group, although women account for a growing proportion of HIV-positive people in the region.Source: Mehri S. McKellar, Anna B.

I'd read all kinds of rave reviews of this pencil and had looked at purchasing one at the online MAC site. I was shopping at a Tanger Outlet cosmetic store (don't remember which one) and low and behold there was the chromographic pencil on sale for $5. I picked one up and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use it. It doesn't last around my lips when I tried to use it to block out some freckles at my lipline on the right side of my mouth. It looks a little strange on my waterline too, it doesn't make my eyes look larger- just strange, but I have really large eyes anyway and typically like to wear black on my waterline for an accent. I guess the best use I have for this pencil right now is a spot concealer for pimples,and for that it's OK, but I have lots of concealer sticks that also work OK. I'm glad I only paid $5 for this.

the longest lasting "nude"/"white" eyeliner pencil I've tried for the waterline. It's a PRO product and I got it online on their website. definitely give it a try. against my tan skin, white eyeliner often looked too harsh and obvious. this one gives a more natural, wide awake look. it's also super creamy.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is great product but it was hard to find. It is only sold in mac pro stores. To top it off when I was able to head downtown (which is where the prostore in located in Vancouver, Canada) They were sold out and they had a long wait list. I was finally ableto get the product and I have been very happy with the purchase ever since. I use it for the eye area as well as a spot concealer if I dont have one handy - very versatile.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I can't believe I've gone my whole life without knowing about this amazing product! I thought it was way too expensive but when something works this well, it's worth it.
I put it on the water line of my eyes and they are instantly brighter, bigger, more wide awake looking. And it lasts a long, long time.
Thank you to all the other MUA reviewers for letting me know about this and so many other great products.
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
When I finally tried this after getting it at the Mac Pro store, I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. It's a pale flesh color pencil that I put in the lower waterline and it makes my eyes look awake, more open and bigger but in a completely natural way that white just could not achieve. Also, this pencil lasts longer on my waterline longer than any other pencils I've tried. I was amazed to find that it lasted for five hours and wore comfortably. I even made a friend who doesn't like wearing a lot of makeup try this in place of black on her lower waterline and she absolutely loved it as well. It makes such a difference its like magic. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to have their eyes look bigger and more awake. It's also a reasonably long pencil and you don't use much with each application so it will last a while. The texture is creamy and the pencil is pigmented so it goes on really easily but it also stays put.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i picked this up out of curiosity, and i've been having so much fun with it! this is the most multi-purpose product i've bought in forever.
previous reviewers have already covered how to use it; like cupid's bow and under eyebrow highlight, to tidy up dark edges on eye make-up, eyebrows and lipstick, spot and scar concealing and inner corner eye highlight. this works absolutely great for all of those. especially because for my eyes daily, i like to do my outer v crease at an angle or like a cat-eye like some people call it. instead of using tape, i just use this to clean up the angle and make it a perfect edge. this saves me so much time in the morning, because it allows me to do a bit of a rubbish job with my crease because i know i can fix it in 2 seconds with this!
i'm actually rewriting this review; because i can't wear this on my inner rims anymore as it bothers my contact lenses. i don't know why but little bits of it just get on to my contact lenses! but i still have a billion uses for this pencil.
because even if you don't want it as an inner rim liner, this literally does SO much. it's like a little magic wand/eraser/highlighter! this also even takes the place of my beloved Benefit It Stick right now.
just make sure you get the one that matches your skintone!
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Lovely and magical! Bought this based on MUA reviews, and it is now my staple item. I used to wear black eyeliner in my waterline, but this creme liner makes your eyes awake and bright. Add a little highlight in the inner corner and under the bottom lash line and its a great, fresh look.
You can also use it as a spot concealer which I've done a couple times. I had to get mine at the flagship store as its a pro product, plus get on a wait list because its always sold out. $17
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
One of my great finds thanks to MUA. I wear contacts and at the end of the day they make my eyes and somehow my waterline look a bit irritated and red. This makes me look really tired. If I use this I look instantly fresh and awake. Would definitely buy again.

The Greenbrier, Greenbrier ****
The eponymous course at the Greenbrier is considered to be the resort's championship layout
because the holes are tighter, by and large, and more demanding than those on Old White. A
former host of the Ryder Cup, the Greenbrier course is in consistently good shape and indeed
has its share of strong, exacting holes. The par-three eleventh, strikingly similar to the
twelfth at Augusta, is as good a rendition of the original as you're likely to find in a mountain
setting. The Greenbrier suffers somewhat from a set of par fives that play almost like long
par fours, lacking interesting strategic options. And the physical surroundings of the course
don't have quite the charm of Old White's. But then again, few places do.
Yardage: 6,675. Par: 72. Slope: 135. Architects: Seth Raynor, 1924; and Jack Nicklaus,
1977. Greens Fee: $185.
Keswick ****
Traditionally overlooked in rankings of Virginia's elite resort courses, the Keswick Club,
just east of Charlottesville, deserves a place on the honor roll. Although recently lengthened,
Keswick is really a finesse course. Long hitters may have wedges and short irons into many
of the greens, but if they fail to place their approach shots in the right spots on the glassy
surfaces, their scorecards will suffer. The course's location, amid rolling hills fifteen
miles from Jefferson's Monticello, is spectacular.
701 Club Drive, Keswick, Virginia; 434-923-4363. Yardage: 6,717. Par: 71. Slope: 130.
Architects: Fred Findlay, 1939; and Arnold Palmer, 1990. Greens Fees: $120$150.
Best of the Rest
Rees Jones's Green course at Golden Horseshoe (757-220-7696) is not quite
up to the standard of his father's Gold (thanks to the somewhat prosaic chains of gumdrop
mounds he used to frame many of the holes), but it's a strong layout nonetheless. The owners
of the Tradition Golf Club at Royal New Kent (804-966-7023), outside Williamsburg,
have softened some of the edges off Mike Strantz's original design. But the late architect's
bold ideas are still much in evidence, beginning with the opening tee shot, which must be
played around or over a set of dunes that bring to mind Royal County Down. Mattaponi
Springs Golf Club (804-633-7888) in hardscrabble pickup country between Fredericksburg
and Richmond, Virginia, is the best of the region's new daily-fee courses and worth the brief
detour from Interstate 95. Greg Norman designed his new course at the Lansdowne Resort (703-729-8400), about thirty miles from Washington and open only to resort guests, with the
goal of having it supplant TPC at Avenel as the D.C. area's annual Tour stop. It would be
a significant improvement. The Cobb course at Glade Springs Resort (800-634-5233),
in the West Virginia hills, has a great back nine—with nearly every hole requiring a
carry over water, bunkers or both. Tom Doak fans will enjoy Riverfront Golf Club (757-484-2200) in Suffolk, Virginia, ten miles from Norfolk. One of Doak's earlier designs,
it's a strategic foray through tidal marshes that's unfortunately set in a housing development.
At Oakhurst Links (866-625-1884) outside White Sulphur Springs, you can experience
golf as it used to be. The gutta-percha balls are the color of cured putty, the weighty hickory-shafted
clubs have rough leather grips, and instead of using a tee you build a sand mound with your
Private Gems
Kinloch Golf Club (2001) in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia, near Richmond, was developed by former U.S. Amateur champ turned sports agent Vinny Giles. It may offer the best private golf experience between Pine Valley and Augusta. The layout, by Lester George, is outstanding. Everything else, from the caddies to the conditioning to the informality of the place, is equally superb.
Pete Dye Golf Club (1995) in Bridgeport, West Virginia, may be the single best use of former coal lands anywhere. You'll see sheer walls left from strip-mining, and your cart will trundle through a passage from a deep mine. Tee shots must be played to fairways laid diagonally along the line of play, requiring sound judgment about how much to bite off.
Robert Trent Jones Golf Club (1991) in Gainesville, Virginia, is the four-time host of the Presidents Cup. It boasts a bipartisan membership of political heavyweights, from George H.W. Bush to Vernon Jordan. There's a gated entry and an immense neo-Georgian clubhouse. The course reaches the shores of Lake Manassas at the ninth hole and flirts with it thereafter.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Whale!
Facts about Whale
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
- ID#: FCRDCecil
Whale's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Whale is a handsome 4 year old male chihuahua who weighs about 5-6 lbs. He is reserved until he gets to know you. Because of his small size he needs a home with no small children, preferably an adult couple, who will have time to spoil him in return for unconditional love.
Other Pets at Franklin County Humane Society, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Whale, a Brookville Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Brookville, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Brookville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brookville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brookville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brookville paves the way for another one to be saved.

A widely published and noted scholar, her research interests include the development and dysfunction of sensory integration in children, maternal role behavior, the acquisition of independent living skills among adolescents with disabilities, health promotion in the elderly, and spinal cord injury and occupational science. Dr. Clark is best known for being the lead researcher of the Well Elderly Studies. The first study, conducted by USC from 1994 through 1996, made a number of notable contributions to the research on occupational therapy and its effect on the aging population. The largest outcomes research study conducted in the field to date, the results were published in October 1997—the first occupational therapy study to appear in JAMA. In the follow-up Well Elderly 2 study, occupational therapy researchers at USC found that small, healthy lifestyle changes—coupled with involvement in meaningful activities—are critical to healthy aging. The study validates the current trend in public health strategies to focus on preventing illness and disability, as opposed to treating issues once they have already begun to negatively impact health. The Well Elderly 2 trial was performed between 2004 and 2009, with the results appearing in the June 2 issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Appointed as a charter member of the Academy of Research of the American Occupational Therapy Association, Dr. Clark has served as special consultant to the U.S. Army Surgeon General and on the board of the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research. She also was the recipient of an Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lectureship, AOTA's highest academic honor. In 1999, AOTA also honored her with its Award of Merit. Dr. Clark received a lifetime achievement award from the Occupational Therapy Association of California in 2001.

Week by Week
I spent some time with a recent QA contracting position at a mobile game company. Development schedules for mobile games can be a bit more erratic, so contracts can be shorter than your typical six month deal. When I was initially hired, I signed a two month contract. As the end of the contract loomed close, completion goals for our game had not been met and we weren't launching on time, so they decided to extend the contract out a month. This would be repeated once more until the project finally shipped two months late. This was when the contract extensions got ridiculous.
After the game had shipped, production got word from on high that they would need several patches in the coming weeks, so staffing of the QA contractors became a week by week thing due to budget constraints. My manager could not tell me on any given day of the week if I would be coming back the next Monday. My hours were kept through an online site hosted by the contracting company, and on this site I could see when my contract was set to officially expire.
One week, my contract was set to expire on a Wednesday. I had talked to my boss about making sure to either tell me I'm no longer working there, or to get that extended before I'm legally obligated to leave the office. Sure enough, Thursday rolls around; I get on the site and notice my contract was not extended. I figured my boss would have taken care of it since we spoke, but I found myself on Thursday morning working for free.
I decided to approach my boss and let him know that I'd be out of the office until he got the contract business sorted out. He looked at me annoyed, and said, "Gahhhh, that's right. Look, you don't have to leave. You'll get paid. I just forgot to talk to the producer to confirm the extension." I stood my ground and told him in all good conscience, I couldn't be there. I walked out.
An hour later, I get a text from him (yes, a text), alerting me things had been worked out and to return to work. I decided I would, since I needed to eat and pay rent that month. This business went on for several months before I was finally let go on the last day of one of those weekly extensions (no warning before the day of).

I picked this lipstick up because I don't have any plum shades in my collection. So I figured I'd give this one a try and if it didn't work it was cheap enough that it didn't matter. The pigmentation on this lipstick is great! It's a dark pinky plum with some shimmer. It's not too frosty and the shimmer isn't very noticeable. It doesn't dry out my lips and has pretty good staying power. It's a pretty nice lipstick for the $6 I paid for it.

This is a wonderful product. The color doesn't actually look like one that would be fine for blonde haired, blue eyed people. Yet, it works. I have had many people ask what color I am wearing. When I show them the color in the tube--they can't believe it. It looks dark in the tube, but once on the skin--beautiful.
Also, I am a neutral, fair blonde.

This by far the best drugstore lipstick ever! The color is vibrant and has great staying power. Generally I'm not a fan of drugstore brands but I tried it because I had a $2 coupon making it a whopping $3.49. Even without a coupon it's only $5.49 at Target. Maybelline has stepped up the quality of their lipsticks. It's nice to find a bargain instead of paying $20+ for lipstick.

This is a terrific lipstick. The formula is nice---rich, saturated color that is full of pigment, goes on nice & silky. It does have a faint vanilla/play-doh scent as other reviewers have noted (but this isn't enough to be bothersome). This is a gorgeous berry-toned plum with a bit of twinkle---not OTT, it's just soft & pretty. I got this for about $8 and I can tell you I have easily paid twice or even 3x the price for a lipstick that I like. So when I run out I do plan to repurchase. I can see this pretty shade working for a lot of complexions---I have dark brown hair, dark brown eyes & light skin w/lots of yellow undertones (Px Vellum). As another reviewer noted, the case is very similar to Lancome's Color Fever lipstick. As of now this is the only shade that grabbed my attention---some of the other colors wouldn't work for me--sniff. But I am *thrilled * with this lipstick and plan to repurchase if/when I use this up.

Color is a little intense, but when applied with a light hand it is quite lovely. The formula isn't too drying and I was very impressed with the pigmentation....will definitely try other shades of this line. Also the staying power wasn't too bad.

Lovely medium shade of plum, works well even with my fair complexion. I did notice it has an odd smell, almost smells like Play Doh. It's super cheap, about $6 at most places. Maybelline has really been improving their line lately, I'm quite impressed. It's a traditional lipstick, so it has to be reapplied every couple hours.

Very pretty plum color. If you like color which with my hair and eyebrows I need. I also happen to like the way it applies and wears. Will try some other shdes in the future.
gorgeous deep cool reddish plum with barely visible shimmer. bought this on ebay for 99 cents plus shipping. no bad smell, very mild disappearing vanilla scent.
this is dark compared to what i usually wear but it really clarifies my kinda blotchy pinky skin. feels wonderful on, applies beautifully.
pinky irish skin, green eyes, dark red hair with pale grey streaks.

Superb undulating course, run on traffic free, wide, well surfaced (not tarmac) man-made forest trails with fantastic views (normal road shoes are adequate). * For 2014 we will re-measure the route and amend the start line to provide an accurate 10 mile course Photos Helen Houlding © Sport Sunday Event Photography
Welcome to The 2014

I have been running for 20 years and I have got to say that was one of the most enjoyable races I have ever taken part in. You did warn people on the lead up to the race about the weather conditions which then gave people the choice to run or not. I must admit I was a bit wary but glad I took the decision to run. The scenery was spectacular, straight out of Narnia, everyone was very friendly and my friend and myself managed to stay upright! We were at the very end but that didn't matter to us we just had such a fantastic time. Once again thank you

Hi Grizedale 10
Dear Britta, Helen and
Thank you for all your
hard work it really was appreciated. Just wanted to thank all of the marshalls, organisers and other runners that turned up to make this event happen. I had a 260 mile round trip to attend the race today and it was certainly worth it. It was spectacular. The views were amazing and it was so much fun running in the snow. Just wish I had taken my camera along! Just wanted to say thank you for carrying on with todays race , it was superb and, despite bringing up the rear would not have missed it for anything!

The movie "The Kids are All Right" was a huge critical and audience hit in 2010, so we're psyched that the film — about a lesbian couple raising teenagers conceived via the same sperm donor — is being turned into a TV show on HBO. But in an interesting turn, producer Celine Rattray told New York that the series adaptation will show the characters lives both before and after the events of the film. Originally slated as a continuation, Rattray says that all five characters — the two moms, the two kids, and the sperm donor dad — will return, though, "right now, we're figuring out if we show what happens with the meeting in the movie."

Shelby is right, in a bitchy, irritating and self-righteous way. I'm done trying to justify selfish actions. I'll live, and I'll try to help myself.
It all gets uphill from here, if you let it :)
Amazingly offensive <3
I know there's the expression "it went downhill from there", but if downhill is bad, and uphill is good, wouldn't that imply you're saying it's going to get harder, because its harder to go uphill?
I dunno, maybe I'm just dum
I was trying to say something supportive XD
Amazingly offensive <3
I dearly hope that you follow through... with success and, hopefully, happiness!
I wanted to end my life a couple of years back. There were several times I went to do it. I don't really know what stopped me to be honest. People kept saying to me, it will get better it really will. I didn't see how it could at all. I didn't believe them. But for some reason, I kept living. I held on for a bit longer. And I tell you sometime. I am so so so so so glad I listened to them. In the last two years my life has got so much better. No it's not perfect. Is anybody's? But I have so many good times. So many times that are so worth living for. Just that feeling of being alive. That is definately worth it. I am glad you had the strength to listen to everybody who told you to keep going for a bit longer.

Maybe you were hoping to be munching on some KitKat by now, but you'll have to make do with more jelly beans. The C Spire variant of the Galaxy S4 is getting the long-awaited OTA to Android 4.3 starting now. You should have a pretty good handle on what that means by now.
Android 4.3 first rolled out to American HTC Ones on the Sprint network, and it arrived for those on AT&T not long after. Well, the next rollout may surprise you. No, it's not T-Mobile or Verizon - it's C Spire Wireless, the eighth largest carrier in the US. HTC One owners throughout the Deep South (the area served by C Spire Wireless) should have received or will soon receive an OTA bumping their handset up to the latest version of Android.
C Spire has simultaneously announced and started selling the HTC One today for $199 on-contract. The Mississippi-based carrier is the eighth-place wireless company in the US, but has still managed to start offering the HTC One before Verizon.
There's nothing unexpected about the HTC One on C-Spire. It's the same phone from other carriers, but it looks like the 32GB silver version is the only option. C Spire has a smallish 4G LTE footprint mostly in Mississippi, Florida, the southern Midwest, and parts of Georgia.
While the Big Four have been able to tout the GS 4 for several months now, customers of most smaller carriers have been left wanting. Today marks the launch of the device for two such carriers: MetroPCS and C Spire Wireless.
Available exclusively on MetroPCS' 4G LTE network, the GS 4 is available today in select markets – Atlanta, Hartford, Philadelphia, Boston, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Dallas-Ft. Worth, and New York – for $549.
QWERTY phones might be few and far between but they haven't died out completely. If you have a Motorola Photon Q and you're on C Spire, you might want to open your Settings menu and check for updates. The round sugary goodness of Jelly Bean is on its way.
The update brings a bunch of improvements in its wake:
It's been a wild ride on ICS, hasn't it C Spire customers? And by that, I really mean you've been waiting on Jelly Bean to hit that GSIII for a while now, haven't you C Spire customers? Well, I'm here to deliver good news: Jelly Bean is official. Not officially announced or some other vague form of "official," but it's officially rolling out. So, you can have it now.
The update is available both over-the-air and through Samsung's Kies software, and it brings oodles of newness to your already-awesome smartphone:

If you're on the regional carrier C Spire and have been jealous of all the Galaxy S III banter, you can lay that jealousy to rest. C Spire just announced that it will be getting the Galaxy S III as one of the initial devices to run on its upcoming 4G LTE network.
The device will launch with identical specs to the other U.S. carriers:
4.8" Super AMOLED HD display with Gorilla Glass 2.0
1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4
16GB on-board storage with microSD card slot
2100mAh battery
Android 4.0 with TouchWiz
Unfortunately, pricing and release date information aren't yet available, but the company plans to launch its LTE network in 20 Mississippi markets beginning in September, and the GSIII will most likely be its flagship for the launch.

Originally, I had planned to do some In the Lab videos showing off specific moves for characters that I thought went unloved, yet every player should be using. Seth's Tanden Engine was going to be the first, because I think it's an amazing move, and it has some ridiculous applications. That video will still come, eventually, but I started realizing that almost every character I watch, there are moves that I think have value, that are going underused, or unused altogether.
With that in mind, I present to you: The #1 move you aren't using (part 1). I had to split this list up into two entries, because it's incredibly long, since I go over every single character. For some characters, the move I list is less valuable then others, but I think all of them are worth mentioning, and worth considering if you play the character.
Please understand, the idea of this is not that if you start using X move, you will immediately start winning more. The idea is to show how certain moves that you might not be using can still have value, and should be considered, even if it's only in very specific situations.
Abel – Normal Throw: As a former Abel main, this is something I've explained to people time and time again. People seem to overlook normal Throws with grappler characters, simply because they have command throws. The truth is, their normal throws are still extremely useful, if not more so, because people generally don't try to tech against grapplers. Abel's normal throw is less risky then his Tornado Throw, and is an amazing way to go for a throw while having the ability to punishing an opponent holding up, in fear of a Tornado Throw.
I actually posted about this concept in a thread on the Abel forums on SRK, with a video reference to a match I played in vanilla, so if you want to read more about it, check that out.
Adon – s.MP and s.MK: These are amazing pokes that seem to go ignored because they live in the shadow of s.HK. s.HK is an amazing poke and all, but s.MP and s.MK have their uses, and in my opinion, are required to give s.HK the most value possible. The big downside to s.HK is that it is slow. If Adon is doing nothing but poke with s.HK, it gives the opponent a good reason to jump, because Adon will not recover in time to defend himself.
s.MP and s.MK don't have this problem. If an opponent jumps as Adon performs either of these normals, he recovers in time to Rising Jaguar as anti-air. So while they might not be as strong as s.HK in terms of raw poking power, in return, they offer Adon a nearly zero-risk poking solution that will quickly teach they opponent they can't jump to avoid Adon's footsies.
Akuma – d.MK (in air) Dive Kick: When it comes to the Akuma vortex, very few people seem to make use of my personal favorite mixup option: the Dive Kick. In fact, the only Akuma player I see use this as one of his main vortex options is Tokido. Basically, the idea behind utilizing the Dive Kick is that after a knockdown, Akuma jumps from a position that would be a crossup, normally. Instead, by performing the Dive Kick, Akuma comes down on the same side, instead.
Additionally, my favorite aspect of this tool is that sharp opponents will be watching closely for a cross up air Hurricane Kick. The way Akuma stalls in the air when performing a Dive Kick can make the opponent think he's seeing a Hurricane Kick, and trick him into blocking the wrong way.
Balrog – c.MK: Since the cornerstone of Balrog's pressure is his c.LP, Having a low-hitting move is extremely important for him. c.MK fills in this gap nicely, as a low-hitting move Balrog can use from close ranges where he would not want to use c.HK. However, what puts c.MK over the top is it's amazing frame advantage on both hit and block, which allows it to be an incredibly strong pressure tool alongside c.LP.
On block, c.MK is +4 frames – the same advantage as c.LP on block. This means Balrog can use the exact same strategies after a blocked c.MK that he would after a blocked c.LP. The usual options include throw, a staggered second c.LP, or a cl.HK when looking for a counter hit. Additionally, on hit, c.MK is a huge +7 frames, which means linking a c.LP afterwards is incredibly easy, and allows Balrog to hit confirm into a full combo off a low.
Blanka – nj.HP as anti-air: Blanka has a nice set of anti-airs to work with, and most Blanka players are familiar with the staples: EX Upball, c.MP, and s.HK. However, nj.HP (and to a lesser extent j.HP) is an anti-air not many Blanka players make use of.
In CvS2, EX Up Ball didn't exist, and nj.HP was the anti-air of choice for Blanka. In SF4, nj.HP is still extremely strong, and in situations where the Blanka player does not want to spend EX meter on an Up Ball, nj.HP is a very strong choice. Although c.MP is easier to do from an execution standpoint, nj.HP does 30 more damage and 100(!) more stun.
It might seem difficult to react by using a jumping normal as anti-air, but that's a mental barrier, because nj.HP starts up in 4 frames! Adding that to Blanka's jump startup which also happens to be 4 frames means nj.HP can be executed in as little as 8 frames, which is only 1 frame slower then c.MP!
Cammy – c.MK: Cammy players don't usually focus too much on the poking and footsies game, since Cannon Strike (being a dive kick) has so much priority and versatility, they can get inside on their opponent fairly easily. When I see these Cammy players unable to get in and forced to slow down and try to poke, it's usually just a lot of s.HK. s.HK is a great poke, but again, it's a move that's vulnerable to being jumped or focused, which means it cannot be abused.
A better option is to use c.MK at a range where it will whiff, while option selecting a Spiral Arrow. Cammy's c.MK is a very effective poke, and turning into a knockdown every time it hits is just what Cammy needs to get her offense started in a safer way. Additionally, since c.MK is significantly faster then s.HK, if the opponent tries to jump during footsies, Cammy can easily reply with a Cannon Spike for a knockdown as well.
Chun Li – c.HP: c.HP by itself is a subpar normal. For a character with a set of amazing normals like Chun, c.HP appears useless on the surface. Although it can beat a focus, since it is two hits, that is it's only redeeming quality really, since it starts up in 7 frames, is -2 on block, and only +2 on hit, meaning nothing can be linked from it (besides Super). The value in c.HP is the fact that it moves Chun forwards and that the first hit is cancelable.
This enables Chun to do c.HP (1 hit) xx Lightning Legs from a slight distance, yet have her move back towards the opponent and have the Lightning Legs be point blank in the opponent's face. If this hits, the player has forever to hit confirm it and combo out of the Lightning Legs, and on block, Chun is at a large frame advantage, and can continue pressure. This is Chun's strongest pressure tool, and can easily look down opponents for an extended period of time.
Cody – s.HK as a poke: People already know s.HK is a great anti-air for jumps out of range of HK Ruffian Kick or b.MP. The problem is that since it is such a strong anti-air, a lot of players don't think about using it in any other way. The truth is, it's a very solid poke. It extends significantly farther then any other poke Cody has, while allows it to be used to surprise the opponent who has gotten comfortable with the ranges of Cody's main pokes.
The idea is to use s.HK from just outside it's max range. From this range (which is far), most characters will only be able to punish it by hitting the extended leg from underneath, because Cody's back leg will be so far away. Additionally, a major draw back of s.HK is that it will whiff against crouching characters. By using it out of range, it ensures that the opponent will not be able to duck underneath it, because they would have to walk forward first to do so, which would get them hit.
Using it outside of max range like this, it is surprisingly effective. It has 5 active frames, and the opponent will frequently accidentally walk into it after the move is already fully extended. Furthermore, due to the angle of the attack, it is not as vulnerable to being jumped over, like a lot of other slow normals are. If the opponent tries to jump, they will likely get hit out of the air immediately.
C. Viper – c.HK: Again, a normal that when used sparingly fills in a gap for the character that strengthens her game. Though slow, and vulnerable to both jumps and focuses, c.HK pokes significantly farther then any other poke Viper has. When the opponent gets comfortable standing outside c.MK range, this can surprise him and score an untechable knockdown, which allows Viper to start her mixup.
As with countless other moves in this list, this move comes with the warning that it cannot be abused. As mentioned, it's very slow (12f startup, 33f total), and is extremely vulnerable to jumps and focuses. If the opponent is doing either of these things fairly regularly, it is not the time to use Viper's c.HK.
Dan – s.MK: Although Dan is a joke character, he does have some serious moves. Most people are already familiar with his LK Dankyaku pressure, which is annoyingly effective. What people are not as familiar with is Dan's unusually effective s.MK, which is easily his strongest poke.
Somehow Dan wound up with a better version of Ryu and Akuma's s.MK. It starts up a little faster then either of theirs, recovers 4f faster then Ryu's, and only 1f slower then Akuma's, yet has significantly more range then either of theirs. Like M. Bison's s.MK (though Dan's is much slower), this normal is amazing for fighting low pokes because it will reach over them to hit the opponent. It can be used to increase Dan's annoyance, because a lot of characters will actually have a hard time poking against this move.
Deejay – c.LK: I don't understand why I see so many Dee Jay players not using c.LK to start their combos. At first, I thought it was laziness, because I thought c.LK into c.LP was a link. When I found out it was a chain cancel, I was completely confused. Not only is a low, but it also does 10 points more damage then c.LP, with the only drawback being that it's a single frame slower.
Of course, a single frame is significant when talking a move with 4f startup vs 5f startup, but it's not as significant in the Dee Jay's context. The time the speed of a Jab or Short matters is mostly in two places. The first is when pressuring with gaps, because you usually want the fastest move possible. The second is on defense, when you need to push someone off you that is gaping too much. These cases do not apply when Dee Jay gets a knockdown and is mixing up his opponent.
After connecting with a c.MK (which gives an untechable knockdown), Dee Jay gets a nice vortex-like mixup where can choose the side he wants to his with his jump in. Having the ability to do empty jumps into lows with c.LK adds an entire extra dimension to this mixup which seems to go unused by most Dee Jay players.
Dhalsim – c.MP: Dhalsim's c.MP is a move I really like, and I feel like it would be one of my staple moves if I played Dhalsim. Everyone already knows Dhalsim's s.HP is one of, if not his most important move, but then why is c.MP so underused? c.MP comes out only 2f slower, yet the total duration of the move is 1f less. Besides those minor timing differences, c.MP does 25 less points of damage, but in return, c.MP is a low. Therefore, if the opponent is constantly blocking s.HPs high, using more c.MP will make a huge difference.
One other difference between s.HP and c.MP that needs to be noted is the difference in push back. This might be part of the reason Dhalsim players tend to use s.HP over c.MP, because s.HP, even when blocked, pushes the opponent noticably farther, while c.MP has very very little push back. This should be kept in mind because often, for Dhalsim, getting the hit isn't as important as creating the proper spacing.
Dudley – s.HK as a poke: Dudley's s.HP and t.HP are so good, most Dudley players don't both to poke with s.HK. This is a huge mistake in my opinion, and the decision to poke with s.HP or s.HK should be made depending on the matchup. s.HK has the benefit of being Special cancelable, which means Dudley can whiff it out of range and option select an EX Machine Gun Blow. If the opponent walks forward or sticks out a poke and gets hit, Dudley gets a huge combo and a knockdown, yet he takes very little risk.
In a case where s.HP and s.HK are equally likely to hit, this potential for damage makes s.HK a much better option then s.HP. The trick is to figure out when s.HK is a strong poke. In certain matchups, s.HK is fairly weak as a poke, but in others, it is exceptional. The general rule is if the other character's main poke is a low, s.HP is better, because it has a great hitbox for going over (and therefore beating) lows. On the other hand, against mid and high pokes, s.HK is amazing due to it's priority and hitbox.
E. Honda – cl.MP: By design, Honda is a very simple and straightforward character. Therefore, he doesn't have many moves that are essential to playing him. Most players are familiar with his strong (but slow) pokes, s.HP and s.HK, and then of course, his signature nj.HP that transforms Honda into a literal wall in his opponent's eyes. Throw in a few c.LKs and c.LPs up close, and some liberal use of his specials sums up the essentials of Honda's game play.
The problem with having such a simple set of moves is that Honda risks becoming very predictable, which can be abused. If the Honda player feels the need to mix things up, using cl.MP during pressure can help to keep the opponent on his toes. For one, it's a two-hit move, which can surprise the opponent all by itself.
On block, cl.MP sets up a nice little mixup for Honda, because it leaves the opponent in LP Oicho range with Honda at +4 frames. On hit, because it's a two-hit move, the player has plenty of time to confirm the hit, and then perform an easy link 4-frame link into a c.LP afterwards, which can be canceled into a HP Hundred Hand Slap, for very nice damage.
El Fuerte – s.MK: Fuerte's s.MK is a very interesting move. Although Fuerte does not typically spend time playing a traditional poking game, his s.MK is a surprisingly good poke. At first glance, the range might look underwhelming, but the hitbox on his foot is actually extended well beyond his boot. This combined with the direction of the kick allows it to beat good low pokes like Ryu's c.MK every single time, with ease.
So although Fuerte might not want to get into a poking war with a lot of characters, having the ability to switch it up, even if only for a few seconds, and beat the opponent on the ground, can give a Fuerte player a nice touch of versatility. This can potentially throw the opponent off if they're expecting a certain pacing from Fuerte.
Furthermore, s.MK is special and super cancelable. This blew my mind. So not only can it be used as a strict poke, but it can also be used for Run pressure to get back inside. Besides that, it can be canceled into the MK, MK target combo – even on whiff! Little tricks like this make the move very versatile, which is nothing but a strength.
Fei Long – cl.MP: cl.MP is an amazing pressure tool for Fei Long. First of all, it starts up in only 5f, which is extremely fast when you consider some characters' Jabs and Shorts are 5f. Second, it should be noted that his c.LP starts up in 3f. The reason these numbers are significant is because Fei's cl.MP is +3 frames on block. Since he has two very fast moves with c.LP and cl.MP, it's very risky for the opponent to stick out a move after blocking cl.MP.
To make this even worse for the opponent, cl.MP's block stun is deceptively long. The move has a lengthy recovery period, even though it ends with Fei at +3 frames. If the opponent is not extremely familiar with this, they will commonly try to perform an action before they have actually recovered, resulting in them doing nothing, not even blocking.
The last great thing about cl.MP is that the recovery period is so long, it acts as a hit confirm by itself. After hitting the opponent, the player has plenty of time to confirm the hit and then link a c.LP. cl.MP leaves Fei at +7 frames, which is an extremely easy link into c.LP xx Rekka Ken series, for nice damage, positioning, and a knockdown.
So that's the first half of the list. Look for the second half either some time tomorrow or Tuesday. As always, please tell me what you think in the comments below.

Agnieszka Hollands strong, confident yet heartbreaking personal films are less well known than her work on American films and series TV dramas, but nonetheless, Holland is one of Polands greatest living directors.
Her work is imbued with politics unique to her homeland and its painful, turbulent history. Her films are strongly influenced by mentors Krzysztof Zanussi and Andrzej Wajda and a shared history of state sanctioned repression and violence. Hollands films are never sentimental; they offer intellectual, realistic insights into life in Eastern Europe and particularly during WWII and its aftermath.
Holland returns to frequently visited universal themes in her latest Holocaust drama In Darkness, Polands official entry in the Academy Awards Best Foreign Language category.
In Darkness describes the lives lived by Jews in Nazi occupied Lodz, Poland. Society has been turned on its ear under Hitlers Final Solution and the Jews who survive mass murder flee their homes, leaving everything behind to hide for their lives.
In Darkness is based on the true story of Leopold Soha (Robert Wieckiewicz), a gruff and anti-Semitic Roman Catholic city cleaner who offers to provide a safe haven for displaced Jews in return for money. He guides them to the citys underground maze of sewers where they set up and live, in darkness, squalor and filth.
He brings them food and moves them when necessary, always on the lookout for impending trouble. His initial bias towards them seems to odds with his mission, which is ostensibly carried out for money.
Life goes on underground; people get sick, die, have babies, do good deeds and commit crimes. Its better than being above ground where the constant rat-a-tat of Nazi guns, hangings, bombings and other cruelties are gradually emptying the ghetto. The hidden are like anyone else, there are bursts of anger, greed, and most of the deadly sins. No one is perfect in this time and place.
Sohas put himself in grave jeopardy; if hes caught hell be executed. His wife and daughter will be alone or meet the same fate. But even understanding the dangers involved, he persists and gradually the layers of his bigotry start to fall away.
As he falls deeper into danger, he becomes closer to his people through understanding and the shared proximity of death. He becomes involved in their lives and develops affection for his sewer rats, theyre no longer Jews, and theyre family born of war and madness.
Hollands cinematic strength is her passion for strength. She shows the infallible human spirit at its lowest and highest. There is no break from the misery people endured, or the endless sense of danger and death, but they still crave life and liberty.
She gives them humanity with all its flaws and is respectful of them as characters. This is not a sensationalized view of the Holocaust. Violence is kept at a minimum, in favor of character told through superb acting and supple storytelling.

A large yellowwood tree just off the patio is absolutely loaded with wisteria like flowers. It is so heavily laden I worry about a wind storm wrecking the branches. The perfume is light but enchanting and it is evident from a long way away. The orioles and house finches are singing at the top of their lungs but the bass is really loud. there are a lot of bees on it but oddly enough, most are bumble bees and they are so busy at the blossoms that you can even brush by them and they pay no attention.
The melody from the birds and the bass from the bees beats a lot of music I've heard on NPR lately. |

I think I understand that somehow you want to capture the symphony of music from your garden and recreate it. DH plays the piano, beautifully and he plays from notes that other people wrote. He wishes he could write the music, but no go. DD sings and plays the flute, again from other people's notes. Don presented an alternative way to putting something on paper. |

Gandle, I envy you your tree and the bumblebees. We have just one permanently, it circles the house off and on for hours and there is realy nothing blooming except a couple of flowers. Love the text of the Moody Blues song, reminds me of Beatrix Potter. |
gandle, today is so steamy--(99, with the high saturation point), have had to work in shade, pulling over-hanging weeds and stalks from beds bordering long brick walkways--scooping up cool, finely-wormed dirt along brick edging of beds and tossing it back in the side and center beds. Strange how cool that dirt is and how my sweat is dripping all over it.. Huge worms scither-scather back down between the bricks, the rest I toss up in beds with all their good dirt for them to play in. While I was working, I was thinking about your tree and the music that was playing that day. What a treat---something that will stay with you and you can revisit as you like. You were so lucky to be part of that beautiful scene. Don's song really brings your experience more into view for the rest of us. While I was scooting along in the dirt sweating and forgetting I was a human--- Maybe you and Leone would dance to this song under the Yellowood tree in the moonlight.... Come a little bit closer But there's a full moon risin' Because I'm still in love with you When we were strangers But now it's gettin' late Because I'm still in love with you |
Don---I promise I wasn't crowding your space---I just heard it in my head and it wound up here.. Mea Culpa! |
KJ, much comes to mind when these images are painted in to our experience. Each has their own response and widen ours by sharing. I will have to look that song up and listen. George and Leone are both creative in their thoughts and comments and a pleasure to read. The sound picture painted for us brought one of my favorite songs to mind and one of yours too. To be in the right place at the right time for these experiences is a gift. Nature makes the best music and we try to imitate it. |

Would you like the good Grimlands news first or the bad Grimlands news first? That's nice, but you're getting the bad news first because this isn't a democracy. The post-apocalyptic shooter's Kickstarter campaign has been cancelled.The good news is that DRAGO is apparently in talks to secure more substantial funding from an unnamed group of backers. Grimlands' project page updated this morning with the following announcement: "We have been contacted by several investors and are in active discussions to finish the game with them. This would not have been possible without this campaign and without your support! Of course we will keep you up to date on any development!"
[Thanks Zach!]

Non Technical Summary
This project will contribute new knowledge concerning the inheritance, genetic control, and breeding of traits important for agricultural production in the face of unpredictable climates. The aim is to study responses to heat during reproductive development using cowpea, a warm-season legume with a legacy as a model for studying heat tolerance. A broad assessment of allelic variation important for tolerance to heat during reproductive development will be captured using an unstructured diversity panel, SNP genotyping, and knowledge of legume synteny. This knowledge will be reconciled with previously developed marker-trait associations to design breeding indices and mating schemes aimed at developing enhanced varieties of cowpea. Furthermore, knowledge gained from cowpea will be used to help describe heat-tolerance associated regions in related crop genomes including soybean and common bean.

Goals / Objectives
Professional Development Design critical elements of a plant breeding initiative. Attend and participate in conferences including PAG and CSSA meetings. Comunicate research strategy and findings by publication and presentation. Research Survey heat tolerance among a diversity panel of cowpea samples during a greenhouse trial. Perform a genome-wide association study to identify allelic variation important for the inheritance of heat tolerance. Reconcile marker-trait associations to design a breeding scheme. Pursue marker-assisted breeding. Describe genomic regions important for heat tolerance.
Project Methods
Approach A diversity panel of ~200 cowpea lines will be chosen from the UCR collection and grown under hot greenhouse conditions in the fall of 2013. These lines will be chosen among a larger group of ~700 lines which were already genotyped using an EST-derived SNP genotyping platform developed by our group and some lines which are interesting but have yet to be genotyped. An experimental trial will be conducted during short days in order to mitigate potentially different photoperiod responses. Plants will be deconstructed at maturity and evaluated for tolerance to heat during reproductive development (stage II) by measuring the number of pods per peduncle. DNA will be gathered from lines yet to be genotyped and sent to a service provider for finger printing. Genotype data for the diversity panel will be used to identify population structure including genepools, migrants, admixture, duplicates, and to develop coancestry estimates (Pritchard et al., 2000; Earl and vonHoldt, 2012; Evanno et al., 2005; Jakobsson and Rosenberg, 2007; and Rosenberg, 2004) to be used as a covariate in association mapping provided by TASSEL (Bradbury et al., 2007). Marker-trait associations identified using the diversity panel will be combined with associations I previously identified using a recombinant-inbred population (Lucas et al., 2012a) to identify SNP haplotypes associated with tolerance to heat during reproductive development. These trait-associated regions will also be compared to knowledge of other trait-associated regions including seed size (unpublished), resistance to foliar thrips (Lucas et al., 2012b), and resistance to fungi (Pottoroff et al., 2012; Muchero et al., 2011). Haplotype variation at heat tolerance associated regions will be assessed by surveying previously genotyped materials. An index weighted in favor of heat tolerance will be developed to calculate genome estimated breeding values for lines yet to be phenotyped. Lines with the highest breeding values will eventually be tested and incorporated into a mating design capable of stacking trait determinants. Broader diversity provided by an unstructured population will provide a more comprehensive assessment of allelic variation contributing to the inheritance of tolerance to heat when compared to a bi-parental population. Such a design would facilitate the discovery and tagging of novel trait-determinants. This project will also aim to capture favorable allelic diversity using marker-assisted approaches to selection including genomic selection and marker-assisted backcrossing. If relatively few genes with major effect are identified a backcrossing approach will be pursued to combine heat tolerance into high-quality grain and biotic stress resistant backgrounds. If several genes contributed by several sources with minor phenotypic effects are identified genomic selection will be designed and pursued in order to breed a variety with the highest predicted breeding values based on known marker-trait associations. Twelve milestones will be used to verify the project is on schedule and to assure that objectives are being met. The targeted timeframe for the completion of these milestones within the life of the funded project are provided in TABLES 1 and 2 for fiscal years 2014 and 2015, respectively. Milestones for Objective 1 are those concerning professional development which includes experimental design, networking, and communication of findings and strategy of the project. Milestones for Objective 2 contribute to the development of technical competence by primarily focusing on the utilization of genomic technologies to help develop new crop varieties capable of enhanced production in marginal environments typically affected by unpredictable climates. *Milestones for Objective 1 1a) Design critical elements of a modern plant breeding scheme. 1b) Attend and participate in conferences, including PAG and CSSA meetings in 2013 - 2015. 1c) Communicate research strategy and findings by publication and presentation. Milestones for Objective 2 2a) Conduct a greenhouse trial using a diversity panel to measure agronomically important traits. 2b) Utilize service providers to obtain genotype data. 2c) Identify and account for population structure of the diversity panel. 2d) Identify marker-trait associations through GWAS. 2e) Reconcile knowledge with previous association studies. 2f) Describe genomic regions of related crops likely to harbor trait determinants. 2g) Plant parents for mating, make crosses, and advance to F2. 2h) Make selections based on genotype knowledge. * See original application for timeline of milestones.

I live in zone 6 Connecticut shoreline. Two mum plants in their pots have lived out on the porch since the fall (shame on me, I know) and have escaped the dumpster b/c I've been so doggone busy... and good thing!
I looked down at them and saw some green leaves poking up from the dirt underneath all that dead brown flowers and leaves... so my question is how do I encourage them? Is it ok to prune back the dead stuff and pot the living part of it in a smaller pot, take it inside and fertilize weekly, or do I need to do something more? I am pretty sure the new green leaves are mums and not some weeds , but I guess we'll see. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I noticed the very same thing just today—green growth on my mums. I have a good feeling that they'll come back. It would be great to know the best way to encourage them. |

Pulp Fiction - Jules Winnfield
Description: In a story of redemption, Jules' redemption is the biggest of all. A hitman (for quite a few years, we can assume) working for Marsellus Wallace, Jules, unlike Vincent, sees his job as more of a way of life, something he can't go home at night and leave the day at the office. When we first meet him, he's one his way to Brett's (who has stolen (?) a briefcase from Marsellus) with Vincent, his partner. After getting the briefcase and killing Brett (as well as a few others), a man who was hiding in the bathroom bursts out, firing six times at point blank range at Jules and Vincent. He misses with every shot, and Jules' life suddenly changes. Seeing it as divine intervention (meaning that God came down and stopped the bullets), Jules decides that it's a sign from God telling him to quit and go straight. It's his opportunity for redemption, and he takes it. He quits the lifestye, and we can assume he, as he says, "wanders the earth" for the rest of his life.

Funeral services for Lana Hollingsworth, the Gilbert woman who died last week from injuries suffered after she was mauled by a bear in Pinetop, are scheduled for Tuesday.
The memorial's theme will likely be her spirit of service.
"Her volunteerism spread deep throughout the community," said Kim Yonda-Lead, volunteer coordinator for the Gilbert Fire Department. "It was something she liked to do: Being there to help others and make a stressful situation better through compassion and caring."
Hollingsworth, who was 61, volunteered in three capacities with the Gilbert Fire Department and dressed up as a clown to provide humor therapy at local hospitals.
"I recollect that Lana showed up to help fill sand bags and kept all of us engaged with her willing desire to serve," said Gilbert town manager Collin DeWitt, a former fire chief. "While she didn't know that she would be taken from us prematurely, she crowded service into each day as if it were her last. She is missed."
On June 28, Hollingsworth was walking her dog near her family's vacation home in Pinetop when a bear rummaging for trash attacked her. She suffered severe lacerations of her scalp and arms and contracted an infection from bacteria carried in the bear's claws. Wildlife officials later located the bear and killed it.
She underwent 11 surgeries before dying from a brain hemorrhage on Monday at a Scottsdale hospital.
Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1865 S. Higley Road.
"There are many grieving hearts in Gilbert," Mayor John Lewis said in a statement. "Lana is held dear in the hearts of Gilbert staff, volunteers and residents. She gave an endless amount of time, energy, love and devotion to our town, and she will always remain an important part of our successes. To Lana's family: Thank you for sharing this beautiful and giving woman with our town."
After retiring as a loan officer, Hollingsworth began volunteering with the Gilbert Fire Department in 2007. She was a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member, a community assistance volunteer and CPR instructor.
"She had a very magnetic personality," Yonda-Lead said. "It was easy to see she was passionate about serving others and the community. …
"She would teach the (CPR) techniques to teenagers and adults, and she had a unique ability to connect with both of them. It was amazing to see her in action."
According to research by state officials, Hollingsworth was the seventh victim of a bear attack, and first fatality, since 1990.

VALPARAISO — Autopsy results are expected Monday for a 30-year-old Ogden Dunes woman who died early Saturday after she was found unresponsive in a cell at the Porter County Jail.
Porter County Coroner Chuck Harris said there were no signs of trauma on the body of Autumn McIlvain. Results of toxicology tests will take four to six weeks.
Officers with the Portage Police Department brought McIlvain to the jail on a warrant at about 10:15 p.m. Friday, according to a news release from the Porter County Sheriff's Department.
She went through the booking process and was placed in a padded cell after being deemed a threat to herself and others after a suicide screening.
At about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, a jail officer found her unresponsive with shallow breathing. She was then transported to at Porter Regional Hospital, where she died.
