The ancestors of the Micronesians settled the Caroline Islands over 4,000 years ago. A decentralized chieftain-based system eventually evolved into a more centralized economic and religious empire centered on Yap. European explorers--first the Portuguese in search of the Spice Islands and then the Spanish--reached the Carolines in the 16th century, with the Spanish establishing sovereignty. The current FSM passed to German control in 1899, and then to the Japanese in 1914 Following World War II, these islands became part of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, administered by the United States.
On May 10, 1979, four of the Trust Territory districts ratified a new constitution to become the Federated States of Micronesia. The neighboring trust districts of Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands chose not to participate. The FSM signed a Compact of Free Association with the U.S. in 1986. An Amended Compact entered into force in June 2004

Morneau Shepell, a human resources consulting and outsourcing firm, has teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. to make it easier for its clients' employees to get flu vaccinations.
Retail News Breaks Archives
TORONTO – Morneau Shepell, a human resources consulting and outsourcing firm, has teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. to make it easier for its clients' employees to get flu vaccinations.
Shoppers Drug Mart said Monday that employees of Morneau Shepell clients can now use a new online scheduling tool to book an appointment to get immunized. Staff log on to their internal employee website and click on a link to the Shoppers Drug Mart flu scheduler, where they can set up a time to get a flu shot for themselves and their family members.
Employees, too, can get a flu immunization without an appointment by going to a Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy, which offers flu vaccines on a walk-in basis.
"Pharmacists are highly trained health care professionals, and with Shoppers Drug Mart conveniently located across the country, they are so easily accessible," stated Marilynne Madigan, managing partner for health and benefits in Ontario at Morneau Shepell, a leading provider of employee assistance programs and pension and benefit services. "We are excited to work with Shoppers Drug Mart to provide our clients' employees and loved ones with convenient access to flu vaccines."
Each year, about 1.5 million workdays are lost in Canada because of the flu, costing $1 billion in health care expenses and lost productivity, according to research cited by Shoppers Drug Mart. The drug chain added that a study from the University of Pittsburgh showed that vaccinating employees early in the flu season can save companies $63 to $95 per employee, and immunizing an entire firm of 150 employees early could save a business between $9,450 and $14,250.
"It's great to see Morneau Shepell and their clients making flu vaccinations a priority, as it is one of the most reliable ways to protect against the flu," Dorian Lo, executive vice president of pharmacy and health care at Shoppers Drug Mart, said in a statement. "An added benefit of getting vaccinated by a pharmacist is that people can get useful advice about other preventative measures at the same time."
In Canada, pharmacists are currently able to administer flu vaccines to those over age 5 in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Shoppers Drug Mart said that in provinces not allowing pharmacist vaccinations, it's working with other health care professionals to set up flu clinics for Morneau Shepell clients and their employees.

Name: Israel Buffardi
Are you a student?
I am currently finishing up my final course for my nutrition degree and I have a culinary degree from Johnson and Wales.
Why did you decide to combine a culinary and nutrition degree?
I love food and the experience of eating is very enjoyable. I wanted to learn how to continue enjoying that experience and combine it with a healthier lifestyle.
What will you be presenting at A Better World by Design's Expo?
I plan on doing a food demo, highlighting a really great seasonal product from local sources and showing that if you're using good seasonal produce, then it doesn't need a lot of work–that work is done by the farmer. I also plan to have a showcase of what I do and my business goals.
What is your business?
The business name is Zest: How To, the slogan is "Learn Local, Cook Global". The learn local side is thinking about cooking at home first, about where you're living, what the season is and what's growing locally. The Global part is about thinking of food on a global scale, being responsible about food. If I'm going to the supermarket to buy beef, where is that coming from? How does that affect the environment?
How do you see your business affecting the food system you want to see?
I think we would be a healthier country if people took charge of their own decisions in regards to food. The culture of dieting often casts food as the problem, or that a nutrient is evil. Food should be an experience and it should be social. We shouldn't eat alone, we should eat with other people. Take time with food, take time to acquire it, to admire it for itself, to understand it, to know what to do with it and then to eat it. Have respect for where the food is coming from.
If I were to eat a Lean Cuisine I'd be eating it because I thought it was healthy, but I can't picture myself enjoying it. I can't picture someone having four friends over, sitting down around a table, drinking good wine and eating Lean Cuisines. That's not a fun experience. Food should be a positive experience.
If we redesign the way we eat and think about food, do you think it would have an impact on the broader food system?
Absolutely. If there was more education about food, if people could have more appreciation for and think more about food, that would affect what they buy when they go to the supermarket.
Is that how you see Zest: How To fitting into the broader food system?
Yes, and I'm a very very small part of that. I think that the most important place that education needs to happen is with kids. I would like to work with teaching kids how to cook, especially lower income kids, because there's a huge disparity with healthy eating and economic class.

When is HL going to quit with the line "cheating on Robert Pattinson with SWATH director Rupert Sanders". We all know what she did. COME ON HL stop with the headline. This is getting old. Can't you let it go. How much longer are you going to keep this going. Get yourselves a real job because YOU SUCK AT THIS ONE. Kristen looked obsolutely stunning and beautiful on the Red Carpet. I am glad her fans supported her. She deserves some respect. This site should be closed down permanently because all you do is print lies all the time and you should be ashamed.

Yes Kristen those were twilight fans there supporting you. You snd rob underestimated us. We would have left your private lives and twilight behind after bd part 2 came out and followed your careers. You didn't need to stage this scandal to get away from being type cast as Edward and Bella. All you had to do was believe in us but you didn't and that stings.

Kristen looks beautiful, maybe a bit too skinny, but still beautiful…I think she did great on the red carpet!! I still love and support her!!! People make mistakes, and people sometimes deserve second chances, and I think Kristen does…I don't know why she is the only one getting bashed and criticized all the time, and not the other responsible part (Rupert). Give her a break! :)

She looks so skinny. You can just tell she is upset, but she is the one who screwed up royally by cheating on Robert Pattinson. She needs to tell us all if he cheated on her, too. LOL – Not really. That is none of our business, but I feel he probably never cheated on her since he is taking her cheating so seriously.

Nine New Year's Resolutions for Miami's Arts Community
The year 2012: It's been a good one for Miami's arts scene. Art Basel and many of its satellite fairs enjoyed financial success. Borscht Corp. hosted what most people agree was its greatest film festival to date. Construction's well underway on the new museum park, Tom Wolfe wrote a novel about us (a terrible novel, by most accounts, but still -- Tom Wolfe), and Zaha Hadid, one of the greatest architects of our time, is set to add her vision to our skyline.All together now. Even you, Bosh.
Covering arts and culture in the past year has made us even more proud to live in Miami. Still, there are plenty of things we can do -- as individuals and as a community -- to support and expand the arts around town.
From saving Wynwood to giving Britto a break (no, really), these are our hopes for Miami's arts community in 2013.
Buy More ArtIan Witlen
Miami has amazing talent in every corner of its arts scene. But if there's one thing we learned from the handful of artists who moved to greener pastures in the past year, it's that we need to do a better job supporting them financially. The city's art collectors -- the rich ones who make serious investments in artists' and galleries' careers -- could stand to focus more on Miami-based artists. The rest of us aren't innocent, either; if you can't afford original works (and most of us can't), look into scoring an affordable print, or attend fundraising events like Bakehouse's Lucky You! or Locust Projects' Smash and Grab. So resolve to add at least one work by a Miami artist to your walls this year, especially if it means swapping out some crappy pop art you bought at IKEA.
Expand Public Transit
Locals have long been in agreement that Miami needs a better system of public transit. But this year's Art Basel really put the issue into focus, with drivers waiting an hour or longer just to cross the I-395 or I-195 causeways. Congestion like that isn't just annoying on its own merits; it actively prevented many from seeing the great art at the fairs and galleries around town, because they just couldn't get there. If you (like us) were working until 6pm on a weekday, you couldn't get across the causeway in time to explore most art fairs before they closed. Expanding bus service between Midtown and South Beach would reduce the number of cars on the road and help people see more awesome stuff, in theory -- but only if that service is run consistently and is easy to access.
Bring Back the Booze
Remember what Second Saturday Art Walk was like several years ago? Most gallery openings came with a side of free beer or cocktails, sponsored by whatever beverage company was courting the city's arts scene at the moment. But Wynwood's art walks have gotten bigger and rowdier since then, which led many galleries to quit serving drinks; some now close early on Second Saturdays to keep out "undesirables." And that sucks. People attending art walk these days spend more time on the street, eating and drinking at the food trucks, than they do inside the galleries, which undermines the whole point of the monthly event. If you want to engage the public, you've gotta go back to the good old days, when the success of a gallery exhibit was measured by the amount of buzz it generated among people getting buzzed.

Ten Great Oak athletes sign letters of intent for the colleges of their choiceFriday, February 22nd, 2013 Issue 08, Volume 17.
Great Oaks second sports signing ceremony of the 2012-2013 school year featured athletes in sports such as soccer, cross-country, football and lacrosse. All 10 of these students signed letters of intent and will be going to various universities across the country to follow their athletic dreams. One of the signers, Mitchell Burgess, a cross-country runner for Great Oak since his freshman year, committed to University of Alaska, Fairbanks and explained his reason for signing with such an unexpected school. "Alaska came to me with the best offer," he answered. "Not many schools that contacted me offered my major [petroleum engineering] and Alaska was the best choice." Burgess, a California native, who has yet to visit his school, is excited for the big change he will be facing in the fall, especially with the weather. Ariel Lasiter, a star soccer player, who has been playing the sport for 14 years now, committed to Cal Poly SLO. "Im going to study Kinesiology," Lasiter informed us, "but my main goal is to continue to play soccer after college and go pro." Another cross-country runner, Kaden Lapham, who has been running since eighth grade and committed to Long Beach State, confesses his excitement to have signed. "It felt awesome," he exclaimed, "it just felt like everything Ive been working for the past five years has finally paid off!" Soccer standout Miki Brillon, selected Eastern Kentucky because she wanted "a home away from home." Kyle Ruhe, who will play football at the University of North Dakota, credits a recruiting service for getting him exposure to the Big Sky schools. Diana Kewley â whose daughter, Miranda Kewley, was part of the State Championship Girls Cross-Country Team and will continue her career at Arizona State University â had this advice for parents of prospective recruits: "visit as many schools as possible, be involved in the process and be sure to ask the questions the kids wouldnt even think to ask" (red-shirting, injuries, tutoring, graduation rates, etc.). She also volunteered, "California schools are impacted with the budget crunch; in Arizona, she is on a well-defined plan to graduate in four years." A number of Great Oak athletes have committed to schools but did not sign this day. Senior Carlee Bates, signed with the University of Montana for soccer. Junior volleyball players, Cadie Bates, who committed to Duke, and Jessica Gaffney, who committed to the University of San Francisco, will both be signing next year. Miranda Schulz and Stephanie Malherbe, also juniors who have been on varsity since their freshman year, committed to schools for soccer, Schulz to Oregon, Malherbe to Texas A&M.

The Viceroy Luxury Resort and Spa in Palm Springs, California
Viceroy Resort and Spa ~ Palm Springs, California – One of the great missions of this baby boomer luxury online travel magazine is to unearth unique resorts that will bring a one-of-a-kind experience to our followers.
We believe we have accomplished that mission with the Viceroy Resort and Spa Palm Springs.
The very first thing you will notice when you walk in the front door is the modern interpretation of the 1930s Hollywood Regency style design. Viceroy Palm Springs can authentically present this style as the resort was built in the 1930s and was a favorite escape for Hollywood types such as Ann Miller, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Tyrone Power, Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby, and even President Roosevelt.
Our one-night stay was accommodated in one of their premium studios located right behind the hedge in the top left of this photograph. There we enjoyed an amply spaced room and a delightful private patio tucked behind the hedge where we enjoyed one of the many fine bottles of wine purchased from our California Central Coast winery tours.
After a bit of relaxing, we walked across the courtyard to our table where we dined under the stars in the resort's Citron restaurant headed by Executive Chef James Bailey and Sous Chef Stacey Hawkins.
Carol and I started off our meal sharing Heirloom Tomatoes.
We then diverged with Carol enjoying a very special Opaca Paca (Hawaiian Snapper)…
while I thoroughly enjoyed Citron's signature Buttermilk Marinated Jidori Chicken.
Generally speaking, I don't order chicken in a fine dining restaurant. However, when I see Jidori Chicken on the menu, I have oft swayed from that position.
As a special little treat, the chef sent out their interpretation of French Beignets. Major Yumminess!
Carol and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Viceroy Resort and Spa Palm Springs.
In the "keeping it real" category, our room did show some deferred maintenance in the form of peeling paint in the bathroom. But given our overall experience at this historic resort, I certainly wouldn't let that interfere with our enthusiastic recommendation.
Furthermore, we didn't see any such lack of attention anywhere else in the resort.
One of the things that also comes to my mind is the fact that for folks in the Phoenix Valley, this resort is only 3-5 hours away depending on your location.
The Viceroy Palm Springs would make an excellent choice for a special weekend,romantic getaway.

Padron Executive Reviews [view details]

"Executive in every way"
Bought a box of executives. I now have one in the evening with a glass of Port. Heavenly
Tony in New Jersey January 1, 2013
"you can't go wrong with a padron"
i've always liked padrons, and this one reaffirms my opinion. I love the easy draw that seems to be present in all padrons, and the nice smooth flavor. one thing about this one is after about a minute of no draw it went out and i had to relight it. I would recommend this one to anyone.
rafael in md June 13, 2011
"Excellent cigar"
Full bodied, complex flavors, and smooth draw at a reasonable price.
Shawn in September 28, 2010
"A perfect 10 !"
It's not very often that a perfect cigar comes along.
A wonderful 80 minute smoke with a single malt Islay scotch. I didn't want this smoke to end.
Long white ash, totally even burn the whole way, lots of smoke-more than 20 smoke rings, wonderful flavor and aroma, great and easy draw, real nice appearance and construction. WOW !
Richie in Atlanta January 13, 2010
"Very Nice Smoke"
I really liked this cigar. It had a very nice flavor to it. It burned very well down to the nub. The draw seemed a tad loose though. I must I it was a very nice smoke, I kept finding myself taking as many puffs as I could get. It had some kick to it but its a great gar to smoke just hanging out with your pals on a nice summer evening. I am gonna get me some more.
Chris in Maryland July 17, 2009
"First time smoking this brand"
Very smooth draw, enjoyable smoke. Medium flavored smoke. Bought at Tinder Box for $7.95. Too expensive for this cigar but would smoke again for $4-$5. Nice ash, burned consistently. 4/29/00.

Hmm... lots of changes brewing here at Oasis. I guess the biggest changes will be that as of the January issue, Jase Pittman-Wells will step down as Oasis' designer and web master and I will step down as editor. Jase has offered to help his successor keep things up to par, and I will still maintain a leadership role in the magazine while I try and focus my energies on other things to be named at a future date.
Mike Ditto will serve as Oasis' editor beginning with the January issue. He has always been incredibly enthusiastic about being a part of Oasis, Oasis' future direction and such, so it seemed to be a logical choice to me. Although a lot of the magazine, I assume, will remain the same, Mike will be responsible for the direction of the webzine as far as selection of cover stories and profiles in courage.
A big part of selecting Mike is that I'm not going anywhere, so I need to have someone in there with whom I can work well without them feeling like I'm breathing down their neck. I will still be heavily-involved in the magazine, including several projects that will bring even more content to the webzine. As things stand now, I barely have enough time to do the day-to-day operations to get the issue out each month. Now, I can also concentrate on getting Oasis into more distribution channels without it cutting into my time spent producing Oasis.
The look of the webzine will remain intact for now, since we only launched the new redesign last month. At a future date, Mike can decide if it need to be updated/changed.
So, join me in welcoming Mike on as Oasis' editor.

Time for short-takes: interesting posts from my travels around the blogosphere.
Branding yourself: No, I'm not talking cattle branding here. I'm talking about branding yourself as a journalist, as in getting your name out there. Journalists today need to market themselves. People need to be able to find your name, your blog, your Linked-In profile as they assess whether to talk to you, hire your, write about you. The goal, I think, is that when you Google your own name, you come up as the first listing. Try it. Type your own name into Google, and see what comes up. If it's you, great; if it's not, you need to focus more on branding. Mindy McAdams has a thorough list of why you need to self-brand, and she also pulls together what other bloggers have said on the topic. Alfred Hermida, writing at MediaShift, explains the why of the personal brand, including a suggestion that you buy your own name as a domain. Now. (You can check if your name is already taken here.) Both posts are really worth reading.
Start commenting already: One of the best ways to let people in your topic niche know about your blog is to comment on their blogs. Bloggers will often check out the blogs of people who comment on their blogs, and then, voila, they may keep coming back if they like what they see. This is particularly true of blogs that don't get tons of traffic. (The A-listers get so many comments they likely don't have time to check out every site, but that doesn't mean other readers on their sites won't check out your blog if you comment on an A-list blog.)
Blogging is virtual networking — you must connected to feel connected. Linkers Blog offers a simple step-by-step on how to get commenting. By the way, I know it's hard to find the time to do this. I struggle with that as well. My best advice: Set up a time each week — even just 30 minutes — to comment on other blogs you read. Make comments relevant, and say something. (No, "Good post, dude.")
Plus, as Yan Susanto points out at Thou Shall Blog, some blogs are set up so that when you comment, you get an automatic link back to your site. That helps increase the inbound links to your blog, which boosts your relevance in Google's search algorithm. And that elevates your chances of coming up higher in a search.
The Frustrated Journalist: A few weeks ago, I came upon a new blog, The Frustrated Journalist. I just loved the name, as there is sure a lot to be frustrated about related to journalism these days. It appears the unidentified blogger was looking for a forum for a group vent on the state of this industry we love. While I'm usually opposed to anonymous journo blogs, I'd make an exception in this case, as I'd hate to see the frustrated journalist turn into the frustrated and unemployed journalist.
The debut post bemoans the lack of innovation going on in some corners of the journalism world today. The second was called open mic and solicited observations from others. Then, that was it. I fear frustrated journalist has become even more frustrated with the lack of response from the blogosphere, so check out the blog and give him or her some input. We can all use some group therapy once in a while. (And frustrated journalist, keep writing!)

For quite some time we have espoused the three-legged stool of advantages that our materials and technologies provide. In virtually everything we do we are able to provide our clients with three distinct and concurrent benefits – economic, environmental and technical.
The economic and technical benefits have always been reasonably easy to quantify – the economic benefit being one of dollar savings associated with producing, hauling and placing less granular material and the technical benefit being founded on proven, state-of-practice engineering principles.
The environmental benefit has always been much harder to quantify. While intuitively one knows that pulling and hauling less gravel and rock from a quarry to build the same amount of road or drainage channel has to be better for our environment, how do you quantify it?
With the introduction of Nilex's Innovation Calculator we believe we have the answer.
The Innovation Calculator tracks the reduction of carbon produced in projects incorporating geosynthetics in their design versus traditional methods that do not incorporate geosynthetics. The output generated by the calculator details the CO2 savings at all stages of the project including the production, transportation and placement of both the natural, non-renewable aggregate and the various geosynthetic materials so a fair and accurate comparison can be made.
The results are often, quite frankly, stunning and beg the question "Why would a project owner not want to consider this?" We urge you to give us an opportunity to show you by contacting our location closest to you.
To our clients who are already realizing the benefits of Nilex's three-legged stool – Thank you, we appreciate your business. To those who aren't clients yet – we hope to be of service soon.
We are proud of what we do at Nilex. Proud of our people, our community and our company.
Ian Wilson
President & CEO, Nilex Inc.

A friend gave this to me about a month ago and I needed a moisturizer to use during the day so I figured I'd give this a go. I'm only seventeen so obviously I don't use it for any anti aging benefit. I honestly don't think that it actually "lifts" your skin. Whenever I put it on my skin feels amazing so this moisturizes really well. Its also a plus that it has sunscreen in it because I live on the beach so I definitely need that. I'll keep using it until I run out but I don't think i'd buy it myself because its pretty expensive and I can get something that works just as well for less than half the price.

I got this as a gift with purchase. I didn't have particularly high hopes for it but as it was free I thought it was worth a try. I applied it day and night for a week and I really noticed how my skin looked plumper and more hydrated! I am not a fan of Lancome creams in generall and they don't seem to get great reviews on this site, I may go back for another gift with purchase!!!!

This product is supposed to lift, firm, and act as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Im not sure what ingredients are used to make this product but I think it aggrevated my skin a little because I noticed more redness on my cheeks and other areas on my sensitive skin. I received this product in a gwp a while back and therefore used up the small bottle in a few weeks. I used it day and night as a moisturizer and it worked ok...if I had really dry skin I probably would have needed something heavier. I didn't really notice any fine lines fading away but then again I don't have many and they aren't very deep. My mom used the full size jar before for quite a while too but didn't notice much difference in her skin either (and she has more wrinkles and needs more firming). I personally think it is a half way decent moisturizer but not impressive or worth the price.

This WAS my HG product- I've since switched to Philosophy, but I'm not going to say it's not a good moisturizer, because it is. My husband even stole it not knowing just how expensive it was and made the mistake of ripping through it in a week. He since has apologized and winced at the price- which is steep, but not as steep as it could be.
Like another reviewer said, the trick to this lotion is remembering that a little goes a very long way. Also, I've seen people complain that you can't put makeup over it. Not true. You simply use the little bit of it, and wait for it to absorb. :)
The packaging is horrendous unless you are fortunate enough to get the squeeze bottle which is a GWP deal.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely. I'll always have a back up in my makeup box along with the renergie night.

I got a small jar of this as a GWP, and tried it hoping that it would help decrease wrinkles. Firstly, this cream is REALLY thick, and like others have said, it's hard to use just a small amount of it. I would never ever use this under makeup because it just sits on the skin, and rubs off in little balls when trying to apply anything over it. Last night I tried a different method of applying -- patted it on instead of rubbing -- and then left my face alone and went to bed. I think this might be best as a night cream because of the thickness and the abovementioned problems. I much prefer Olay Complete for daily moisturizing, and besides, it's much cheaper.

I bought this product hoping to moisturize my dry skin and in the process maybe stop time a little bit on my face. It really didn't do either for me. It didn't moisturize at all or smooth/lift my skin. I wouldn't spend the money again for a product like this.

This stuff is amazing! WOW! I thought I would use it just as a moisturizer since I don't have many wrinkles and I don't really believe that a cream can effect lines in your face. After only 2 days, my eye wrinkles are almost completely GONE! Amazing! I don't understand why this is getting so many bad reviews, maybe because of the price... but I think it's worth it! :) I really love this stuff!
PS. I'm not sure if maybe my results were more noticeable because I'm young and don't have many facial wrinkles, but I do have more than the average person my age because of my obsession with the south florida sun and my habit of laughing at everything (laugh lines!) But this stuff is great!
Try asking for a sample at the counter, it lasts a while and the results are almost instantly noticeable, plus it's FREE! :D

Decent as a moisturizer. I find the smell pleasant. It doesn't cause me to break out, turn greasy etc. It absorbs well for such a thick cream. Leaves skin soft and moisturized.
However, as others will tell you, you can find similar products that do the same for a lot less.
Would use it again if I got a free sample or as a gift, but would not spend that kind of money on it.

This is one of my HG products, but you have to use it properly. It is very rich and a little goes a long way. If you use too much its very easy to get that oil slick feeling or balling up on your hands while trying to rub it in. This said once you get the hang of how much to use (for me it's no more than a dime size for my entire face & then a little more on my neck) this stuff is really great. It firms the skin very well & I noticed an almost instant difference the fist time I used it. I don't use it as my morning mosturizer because of how thick & rich it is, instead I put it on before I go to bed every nite as a firming nite cream. It has made an amazing difference in my skin & keeps my dry skin soft and supple.

A nightclub named Passion. An infinity pool named Wet. Are the floor-to-ceiling windows fogging up, or do some hotels have one-track minds? There's no doubt that the combination of sand and seclusion is a winning formula for a sexy beach hotel. But the definition of "sexy" can vary from one beach scene to another. Some of the world's sexiest beach hotels are overtly hedonistic, with a parade of surfer abs to ogle and poolside cabanas perfect for trysts, while other, mellower hotels channel the quiet seductiveness of a private outdoor soaking tub or a seaside table for two. Whether the steamy theme is in-your-face or sweet and lowdown, a stay at any of these hot spots may be just what your relationship, or single life, needs.

Guest-posting at Alyssa Rosenberg's blog, Max Gladstone wants us to Meet The Real Loki:
Let's talk Loki. Norse myths are some of the world's craziest, and while the good folks at Marvel have given us two solid cinematic Lokis so far, and look set to deliver a third, there's a lot of Loki that never makes it on screen.
You see, Loki's a weird character in the Norse pantheon. He's not evil always, or for its own sake – this is something Marvel's first Thor movie got right. He is, however, tricksy. And vengeful. And too smart for his own good. In Norse myths, Loki's as likely to take up the role of "only Norse god who can think his way out of a paper bag" as he is to present as "archenemy of Thor and all that is holy."
With that out of the way, here is one of my personal favorite Loki tales. Feel free to imagine the Triple-H of Hiddleston, Hemsworth, and Hopkins in the central roles below if that tickles your fancy.
Okay, so. Back at the beginning of time, the gods wanted a fortress. But no one wants to build a fortress themselves! The gods remain stymied until a nameless workman wanders into Valhalla and gives Odin an offer: "I'm really good at building fortresses, and in fact I'll build one for you – if you pay me with the sun, the moon, and Freia, goddess of beauty."
This being the beginning of time, Odin hadn't heard this particular scam before. […]
Given the way Loki resolves the problem in this legend, I don't think we are going to see Tom Hiddleston acting it out in Thor 3, but I'd be delighted to be wrong about that.
I can't believe I failed to notice Michael Bay's Rejected "The Dark Knight" Script when it first appeared:
The Batmobile is gunning down the highway at over 200 miles per hour, weaving through traffic. Every time BATMAN is about to crash into a civilian, the camera enters ultra slow motion and we see him barely squeeze by, frame by frame. This happens seventeen times.
As BATMAN whizzes by cars, he attracts the attention of a young passenger in a nearby vehicle.
(pointing)Mommy, mommy, look! Look!
Stop shouting, I'm trying to drive!
(watching the Batmobile)Whoa.
The Batmobile races off into the distance. Finally, BATMAN catches up to the JOKER's zeppelin.
Good work.

The latest trailer for Man of Steel looks pretty damned good.1
Trouble is, Zack Snyder's films often have impressive-looking trailers; it's only when you get into cinema that you find out how badly the plot falls short of the visuals. Then again, David S Goyer is pretty good at writing comic book movies, and goodness knows they've had enough examples of what not to do. Eventually they have to get Superman right on the big screen again. Why not in 2013?

I think it's fair to say that The Dark Knight Rises evades the three-films-is-one-too-many curse that befell Spider-Man and Blade and the X-Men. It's a long film but didn't feel like one. It deserves to be written about at length: a task I don't have time for right now, but which I think we can rely upon the internet to take care of over the next few days.
Given how nicely the end of this film took care to geg some characters to where they wanted/needed to be and setting up fresh challenges for others, I'd say Christopher Nolan has earned the right to walk away from the series with his head held high, mission accomplished.1
It's going to hurt a lot five or six years from now, when Warner/DC hand the franchise over to Zack Snyder to reboot.
The Microscale Sci-fi LEGO contest involves various surprisingly effective minimalist depictions of scenes from science fiction (and superhero) films and TV shows.
My favourites are Tron (1982)1 and 1.21 Gigawatts.2

An Unbiased Review of the Marvel "Avengers" Movie:
Once again, Loki's true plan, which succeeded, was pure genius, and cunningly designed as a terrible plan which failed. Yet sophistication of his scheme has declined in complexity so radically since his elegant and subtly-worked plan to destroy Bifrost and fake his own death in the "Thor" film that the viewer is left wondering what happened? Was he distracted when he came up with this plan? Further research into the "Marvel Universe" led me to several alternatives. Is he simultaneously waging another battle in the Astral Plane, or the Mojoverse, which requires the majority of his attention? Perhaps we are to believe that this was a cry for attention? This would be consistent with the focus on his youth and desire for respect, treated in both films (though smelling more like a ruse than truth in both). Perhaps we are to believe he was so frustrated that no one noticed the brilliant success of his earlier scheme that this time he has dialed down the subtlety in hopes that at least some of the supposed-genius members of the adversary squad might piece together the logic chain: "Loki is an unmatched genius. This plan is dumb. Therefore this is not Loki's plan."
Beautiful work.

Junaid Chundrigar's animation Disassembled goes beyond the cast of a certain current blockbuster, featuring all sorts of non-Avengers. I loved the … um … cartoonish nature of Thor's encounter with Loki1 and the sight of Venom trying to enjoy an ice cream. Good work, strongly recommended.

In the midst of a discussion on the merits of Marvel's The Avengers Assemble, fridgepunk came up with the greatest idea I've read in a long time:1
The important thing to take away from the Avengers is that the studios have an example to point to that shows that having five movie prologues that lead up to the eventual Big group movie totally works as an approach.
Roll on the Machine Man, Captain Marvel, Elsa Bloodstone: Monster Hunter, Boom Boom and Captain ☠☠☠☠ movies that lead into the inevitable Nextwave movie.
Joss Whedon's having a pretty good year. As if seeing The Cabin in the Woods1 finally arrive in cinemas wasn't enough, now he's gone and delivered Avengers Assemble.2
In comics, superhero team-ups and crossovers can work extremely well when done right, but they have the advantage of being able to spread their (frequently ludicrously complicated) back-stories over multiple issues. Fitting half a dozen major characters into 140 minutes of film, giving them all something to do, and keeping the audience on board and entertained is a neat trick, but one Whedon pulled off beautifully. We got just enough information about who the main characters were and what they were capable of to bring those of us who hadn't seen all of the lead-in films up to speed3, and then the fun really started.
When I say 'fun', I of course mean crisis, tension, clashes between characters, conflicting motivations and all that good stuff, mixing big action scenes and little character moments and the odd belly laugh, all to keep the audience entertained.
And then we come to the big battle at the end, when our heroes find themselves outnumbered and outgunned and needing to work together just to stay in the fight. It's beautifully choreographed, coherent and hugely satisfying.4
Unless you're allergic to the very idea of superhero stories being told straight, you're likely to have a hell of a good time with Avengers Assemble. Marvel took a big risk in trying to make the Avengers work on the big screen, and Joss Whedon has made it pay off about as well as it possibly could have.
Finally, three random thoughts:
MightyGodKing reminds me that it's been far too long since I last watched Kayhryn Bigelow's Strange Days:
[…] Strange Days is great for reasons other than its often impressive precognitive abilities. It's got Angela Bassett in what I would argue is her definitive movie role and one of the baddest-ass female action hero roles ever, which by itself makes the entire catalogue of Angelina Jolie look wussy. It teaches us the secret of making Juliette Lewis tolerable, which is to have her sing rather than speak (seriously: the movie's major flaw is that Lewis' appeal to Ralph Fiennes is only evident when she's singing). It has a killer supporting cast: Sizemore, Michael Wincott, Vincent D'onofrio, William Fichtner, Glenn Plummer. It has an absolutely fantastic soundtrack that sounded in 1993 like what the future of music would sound like, and to an extent still does. It has one of the most beautiful and heartfelt endings I've ever seen in a movie, and begins with what I still hold up to be one of the greatest cold opens in film history (which, lest we forget, was filmed long before lightweight digital cameras were available, and thus had to be filmed entirely on full-sized Steadicams)
I'd have said that Tina Turner was Angela Bassett's definitive role, but would add that1 I reckon that her definitive role should have been Storm. I've nothing against Halle Berry, but failing to cast Angela Bassett was a horrible missed opportunity for all concerned IMHO.
James McAvoy/Professor Xavier, arguing for the benefits of peaceful coexistence in X-Men: First Class – The Abridged Script…
I'm glad I found you, Michael. Together you can help me steer this narrative towards the day I envision, when all the X-Men movies can co-exist in peace as one harmonious franchise.
I think you're being naïve, James. Those other movies will always resent the enhanced acting powers of this one, and always find new inconsistencies and contradictions within the series to hold against us. And anyway, why should we go to such lengths to try and fit in with their continuity, what with its toads-struck-by-lightning riddles, entire X-teams quaking helplessly when faced with a wall of water, and whatever the hell that third movie was?
What do you suggest instead?
We could embrace the inherent superiority of this movie, reboot the series and control the whole narrative ourselves! It would be Inglourious!… I mean, glorious!
And just wipe out all the events of all the other movies? How can you say that?
In a voice that in no way evokes that of a young Ian McKellen, THAT'S how!
(shakes head)
Michael, I sympathize, but you're confused by having been isolated, running around the world making scenes way more entertaining than anything the rest of us have been doing. Trust me, we CAN make all the X-Men movies work together, and it will be the best for everyone.
All right, James, we'll try it your way, at least for now.
You do realize that given the ages of our characters' actors in "X-Men" we're both at least ten years too old, right?
Oh, piss off.
T-Rex is absolutely right: reality SUCKS sometimes.

Health Department - Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs: Annoying but not a Health Risk
Richland Public Health often receives complaints about bites from bed bugs. While they are a nuisance, bed bugs have never been known to carry any diseases and therefore are not something that the Health Department has jurisdiction over.
However, because of the interest in the subject, this page offers several links for additional information.
LAST UPDATED December 3, 2012
Health Concerns about Misuse of Pesticides for Bed Bug Control
Mansfield, OH — The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are alerting the public to an emerging national concern regarding misuse of pesticides to treat infestations of bed bugs and other insects indoors. Some pesticides are being applied indoors even though they are approved only for outdoor use. Even pesticides that are approved for indoor use can cause harm if over applied or not used as instructed on the product label.
ATSDR warns that outdoor pesticides should not be used indoors under any circumstances. You should always carefully read the product label to make sure that:
- it has an EPA registration number;
- it is intended for indoor use;
- it is effective against bed bugs (the label should say it is meant to be used to treat your home for bed bugs); and
- you know how to properly mix the product (if a concentrate) and where and how to apply it safely within the home.
You can read more about the CDC's Health Advisory by clicking on this link.

Back to School
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Suncoast Scribe!
How exciting. The kids around here begin school Tuesday! Gigi is beside herself with glee. She begins Pre-K. We have an orientation open house in about an hour over at her school and then she begins on Tuesday. The big kids at her Christian school start Monday.
I feel rather odd that I am not going into a classroom this fall. I wonder if putting off working a year will build fear and make it harder for me to do it in the end. I heard about a great job opening that would have had me teaching alongside a friend and I actually passed on it. Was that a mistake?
I actually just spoke with that friend and she has a part-time tutoring gig to supplement her pay and I considering giving the tutoring company a call in the meantime. I really think I would enjoy that sort of work while I take my year off.

[iPhone] Photo Table makes it easy to view and sort your pics
Posted By Tucker On December 31, 2012 @ 12:08 AM In iOS | No Comments
Photographs always make us feel nostalgic, no matter how old we are. So it's no surprise that many photo apps try and bring an analog feel into their design. One app that does this quite well is Photo Table, developed by Paul Solt. This app mimics the feel of sorting physical photographs into a collage while sitting at your kitchen table, thanks to the app's "virtual table" interface.
Main Functionality
Photo Table takes photos from your Camera Roll, Facebook page, or Flickr account and arrange them on a virtual hardwood table. You can easily zoom, rotate, drag, tap, or flick away images until you have the best possible collection of photographs. In addition to organizing your photos, other Photo Table users are using the app to share their portfolios or designs with current or prospective clients.
[2]While the iPhone's screen is a little on the cramped side for assembling a photo collage, one thing that offsets this issue is the ability to have the pictures enlarge themselves and keep on a continuous loop as a slideshow.
I'm sure this would look better on the iPad, but I think the iPhone version has been thoughtfully designed to make maximum use of all available screen space. You can also create HD collages from your images.
I love that Photo Table takes the idea of analog photo organizing and sharing and runs all the way with it. In addition to sharing on social media, you can also share your photos by creating postcards! To print and ship postcards costs $1.99 for US addresses, and $2.99 to send to an international pal. I love how simple the process is, and I think a lot of vacationers will actually start sending postcards again because it is so simple to do with this app.
Overall, Photo Table is well-designed. Making new albums takes only seconds, and the result is a really charming collection of photos that will make you feel nostalgic, no matter how old the snapshots are.
With great resources for sharing your photos, a simple design, and intuitive controls, it's hard to find fault with a free app that's this good. Even if you have an older phone with a smaller screen, this photo app is way more fun to use than Apple's native Camera app.

Hayden Tenno
this wiki
Redirected from Hayden
Hayden Tenno | |
Age: | 29 |
Height: | 6'1" |
Weight(s): | 185 lbs |
Nationality: | American |
Voice Actor: | Michael Rosenbaum |
Hayden Tenno is the protagonist of Dark Sector. A morally ambivalent C.I.A agent and "clean-up-man", he has congenital analgesia, which renders him unable to feel physical pain. He is supported by Yargo Mensik, a scientist and sleeper agent who knows the origin of the Technocyte virus.
Early Life & CareerEdit
His background and upbringing remain a mystery, so Tenno's life, in essence, was primarily t'abula rasa until he began working for the US Air Force, and eventually the C.I.A. And it was, literally, a role he was born to play. Even considering his relative youth, Tenno quickly became the CIA "cleaner," able to accomplish any assignment no matter the location, the risk or the operational FUBAR, which would inevitably take place due to the nature of his missions.
And what was the nature of his missions? Hayden Tenno was assigned to clean up after the operational messes left all over the globe. Whether an agent went down or failed an assignment, Tenno had to go in and tie up all the loose ends into a nice, pacified, quiet bow.
At some point before the Lasria mission, Tenno had an operational failure, which resulted in a demotion in status and reputation. Details of this assignment are classified, though it involved the slaughter of many people he feels did not need – or deserve – to die.
Dark SectorEdit
As Dark Sector begins, Tenno is offered redemption by his Assignment Director and sent into Lasria with the promise that this will be his last mission. Tenno is perfectly suited for this job, since his borderline superhuman tolerance for pain, his relationship with missing Agency operative Robert Mezner and his previous involvement with another rogue Nadia Sudek gives him a physical edge and an emotional stake in the Lasrian problem.
Upon arrival in Lasria – and his subsequent infection by a new strain of experimental nano-virus – Hayden realizes that in many ways, his entire tenure at the Agency has been a set-up for this particular assignment. The Technocyte virus begins to change Hayden, creating a metal carapace sheath along his right arm. Soon after the initial infection, Hayden is able to manifest a specialized weapon from the organic metal, sprouting a curved metallic Glaive that erupts from his forearm and comes armed with varied, ever-growing lethal properties.
Using the very method of Lasria's destruction as a means to save the ravaged Russian city – and to redeem his own wounded soul, Hayden continues with his mission. They sent their fallen angel into a locale that would ensure either one of two results: his death, or worse -- a successful completion of the mission, which would, by its very nature, change Hayden into something more than man… but less than human…
In his C.I.A psychological evaluation, Hayden is classified as as "psychotic" and "unfit for duty".
Powers & AbilitiesEdit
- Pain Immunity - Hayden suffers from congenital analgesia, a rare conditions in which a person has a severely reduced feeling of physical pain. This is how Hayden was able to maintain his sanity after his infection; he feels severely reduced pain from the infection.
Technocyte AbilitiesEdit
- Metallic Skin - After his infection by the Technocyte virus, the skin of Hayden's arm began to mutate and encase itself into an organic, greyish-silver metal. Over time, the infections spread to the right side of his chest and began to transform the skin into this metal.
Glaive AbilitiesEdit
Hayden's signature weapon is the Glaive, a tri-blade throwing weapon similar to a boomerang which returns to Hayden after each throw. The Glaive is a natural side-effect of his infection and is part of his mutated anatomy.The Glaive can be used for long-distance combat, solving environmental puzzles, and picking up in-game items. When in close proximity to an enemy, context-sensitive actions may appear, allowing the player to execute enemies with "finishers".

i keep hearing people say gragas has high skill cap what does it mean is it bad?
Senior Member
skill cap = difficulty to use/master It doesn't mean Gragas is a bad champion, just that he's hard to use. I never really play him or see him, so I couldn't tell you how "good" he is.
"Skill cap" is the abstract concept of how skilled you would have to be to use the champion at their full potential. Think of a game like Tic-Tac-Toe. You might be able to beat a kindergartener at it, but could you beat an average fifth grader? Probably not. You'd just tie. There's a limit to how good you can get at Tic-Tac-Toe, because there are only a few decisions to be made, and if you learn enough about the game (which doesn't take long), the correct choice is obvious. Once you have just a little bit of ability to strategize and plan ahead, it is literally impossible to get any better at the game. It has a very low skill cap. Apply the same concept to champions. If there are only a few obvious decisions to make, that champion has a low skill cap. If you have a lot of difficult high-risk decisions to make (like when and where to toss a Gragas ult), that champion has a high skill cap. There is a big difference between an average Gragas, a great Gragas, a pro Gragas, and the best Gragas in the world. However, because skill is so abstract, the skill cap for each champion is largely just opinion. There is no way to definitively measure it or graph it. It is generally accepted thatat the highest level of playhigh skill cap characters should be superior to low skill cap characters... not just in LoL but in other games as well. But unless you plan on actually playing at 2000 Elo, you shouldn't worry about it.

Andy Reid El Cuerno
With his remixes of Adam K, YUG, and Helen Garcia making waves on dancefloors around the world, label co-founder Andy Reid drops his debut solo release on 44th & Filth with "El Cuerno".
This latin groover with crisp percussion, slick chords, and an absolutely EPIC horn line will definitely break some hips. Dropping into a sweet melodic breakdown, the deep bassline swells in to move the track to a sweet peak and then into a rocking drop.
YUG jumps in on remix duties and once again delivers an outstanding slice of dark, main room nastiness. Jacking drums, haunting synths, and a smooth lick of the original horn blend into a dancefloor monster.

Boost Your Immunity Video
Research-proven ways to eat, drink, and even party to boost your immunity this season
If every winter finds you sniffling, sneezing, and coughing, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute says a little laughter may be helpful to staying healthy.

Women who got to watch a funny video as opposed to a boring one on tourism showed greater response in their immune system, which could mean they'd be less likely to get sick.

Music also seems to raise levels of immunoglobulin A, the immune system's first line of defense against germs.

People who sing in a choir or in one study who got to listen to soothing music showed a surge in these levels.

And having 2 glasses of wine a day cuts the risk of coming down with the bug by nearly half, perhaps because red wine contains resveratrol, an antioxidant, antiinflammatory that also helps prolong your life, but stop at 2 glasses. More than that raises the risk for infections. And finally, get a little culture from yogurt. In a University of California study, subjects who ate a cup of yogurt with live or active cultures everyday for 4 months increased the immune substances that helped white blood cells fight disease. I'm Terry Anzur for Good Housekeeping Reports.

Irish Linene LyricsArtist: Seals & CroftsAlbum: Year of Sunday From the album YEAR OF SUNDAY (1972). Met a girl in Lenningrad, she wasn't bad and I might add I found it such a pleasure to be near her, just to hear her call my name. She was so fair, and she wore Irish linen in her hair. She lived in the valley wide, a country ride from my side. I spent most of my time thinking of her. How I loved her, such a shame. I'm not there to touch the Irish linen in her hair. Irish linen, memories not bad, green and red make me sad. Irish linen, I would be so glad, green and red, I could have had her for my own.

McLEAN, Va. (June 1, 2009) -- The following is a statement from the Chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), John McEleney, in response to the ruling by the bankruptcy court in favor of an alliance between Chrysler and Fiat:
"The ruling by the bankruptcy court late yesterday should allow Chrysler to move forward. It restores a sense of certainty about Chrysler's future which, in turn, helps restore some stability to the entire auto industry.
"It is certainly our hope that the alliance between Chrysler and Fiat will lead to a new company that's highly competitive and profitable. The nearly 2,400 dealers that will be part of the new company are encouraged by the prospects of a much-stronger Chrysler. "However, we remain concerned about the 789 dealers that have been left behind. NADA does not agree with mass cuts in the dealer network. Drastic and rapid closures of dealerships on this scale are not good for the industry or the U.S. economy. Furthermore, the treatment of the Chrysler dealers who are not part of the new company has been unconscionable and outrageous. By any measure, their treatment does not even meet minimal standards of fairness. NADA urges Chrysler and the Obama Administration to move quickly to provide these dealers with fair and equitable consideration, especially when it comes to buying back vehicle and parts inventory and providing a reasonable amount of time for an orderly wind-down period. The bankruptcy court also should take special care not to trample on recognized rights under state franchise laws. These are independent business owners, men and women who have invested millions in their facilities and are the cornerstones of the economies in their local communities. They deserve much better treatment."Contacts:
