Carl Benedict Reflects On Being a TherapistMeeting a client for the first time is a moment of privilege, honor, wonder, and humility. Clients do not arrive to discuss the weather or sports even though sessions sometimes begin with such talk. Rather, clients come for help in solving problems of life, and in the process they usually open their souls to a complete stranger, who happens to be me. I join clients in life's most profound moments as they share with me their struggles to create meaning and purpose out of an existence that is frequently scary, always difficult, and sometimes brutal. On a daily basis I hear stories of incredible loss, terrible misfortune, and immense cruelty, but clients bring more to our sessions than their sad experiences. People often ask how can I listen to such "depressing" stories all day long. My response is that I don't because, in fact, what I am actually witnessing is the strength and resiliency of the human spirit, often in the face of overwhelming odds. To play a small role in such meaningful journeys is an awesome privilege that humbles me. To be allowed to witness in such an intimate setting the healing and growth that takes place in the lives of my clients is immensely rewarding. I am truly challenged by my clients in ways I never imaged in graduate school when I thought being a therapist was simply helping clients. I didn't realize that clients would also be helping me. For example, their courage inspires me to be a better husband, father, son, and therapist. Their tenacity forces me to look at my own complacency. Their hardships challenge me to take nothing for granted since one's fortune can change in the blink of an eye. I am grateful to my clients for allowing me the honor and privilege of playing a small role in their journeys to healing and personal growth. I am grateful to them for inspiring me to take a closer look at my own choices in life. I've learned much from my clients, and for that I offer my gratitude. |

Camp Swatara is a family oriented campground with wonderful amenities such as hiking, boating & fishing, swimming, volleyball and much more. Growing up my family camped there with the adult group from our church. Now I take my family there and it's still a wonderful place to go. The facilities are very well maintained and the camp store is well stocked with reasonable prices. There is so much to do there, one weekend is not long enough to fully enjoy all the amenities. The restrooms/bath houses are all well stocked and kept clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is much to do in the region if all you wish to do at Camp Swatara is sleep. It's near enough to several major tourist attractions to commute under 60 minutes, many only 1/2 hour. The only reason I did not rate Camp Swatara with a 10 is because the pool is shared with the children's day camp so pool hours vary each day and are quite limited to campers. We found it challenging to coordinate our other plans around the availability of the pool which we used during our stay. It is also somewhat of a long walk from the campground. After hiking, we were almost too tired for more walking to refresh ourselves in the pool. With all that said, we will continue to camp there, happily, over and over again. I recommend Camp Swatara to anyone camping with children and even pets. I probably should not neglect to mention it's owned by the Church of the Brethren so therefore has strict rules regarding the use of tobacco, alcohol, and playing radios. It's all forbidden. If you plan to party, book your stay elsewhere! This is a Christian-based, family oriented facility. - LeAnn Tough

Sathianandan, T V and Jayasankar, J and Kuriakose, Somy and Mini, K G and Mathew, Wilson T (2011) Indian marine fishery resources: optimistic present, challenging future. Indian Journal of Fisheries, 58 (4). pp. 1-15.
| PDF 522Kb |
Marine fish production from capture fisheries in India has increased by about six fold during the past six decades. Export earnings from the marine sector crossed 12,000 crores in 2010-11 and gross revenue through marine fish landings at the point of first sales was about 20,000 crores. Marine products are now exported from India to nearly 100 countries. Monitoring the harvest of different marine fishery resources is very much essential for planning and implementing policies for sustained production from the sea. The dynamic changes in the landings of marine fishery resources over the last six decades were examined after classifying them into 26 different resource groups. Decadal averages of landings of different resource groups were compared using Student's t test and coefficient of variation was worked out for each decade. Present status of each resource group was examined separately based on a simple criterion. Out of the 26 groups examined, 18 were found to be under the 'abundant class, 5 under 'less abundant' class and one each under 'declining', 'depleted' and 'collapsed' classes. Elasmobranchs, threadfins, ribbonfishes, mullets and flatfishes are the five resource groups falling under 'less abundant' class. White fish falls under 'declining' class, flying fishes under 'depleted' class and unicorn cod under 'collapsed' class. All the other groups fall under the 'abundant' class indicating that most of the resources (73%) are in healthy condition. The 'depleted' and 'collapsed' classes require management interventions for the recovery of the resources and the group falling under 'declining' class needs caution and care to prevent further reduction in the stock.

My new stinger!
Just wanted to post pictures of my new stinger that my buddy and I put on the TJ. I bought a hoop from Rusty's cause we didn't have a tube bender, and then we used some 1/4" DOM for the brace bars, and welded it into the tube fenders. That's him sizing things up.
Soccer moms beware! Then I put Herculiner on it, that stuff is TOUGH! I'm going to do the Smittybuilt tube fenders with it next, since they rust at the joints. Last edited by SupaRice; 07-16-2009 at 08:48 PM. |

Depends on its purpose i guess.
If its to protect the hood/radiator from a roll then its too long in my opinion. the angle and length put a lot of leverage on your fenders/grill and may rip them right out in a hard endover. Also could get in the way when you approach a steep obstacle. If its to keep you from fallin in to cracks of a glacier, perfect!

Its your rig so just my .02 but that stinger is waay to big. I remember coming down some steep steep ass side hill into a creek bed which was a V notch and with just a stubby bumper and NO stinger it was tight, with a stinger that big I would have been unable to drop into the V notch let alone when I came back down the water fall. But again your rig as long as your happy. |

Under the Volcano, Feburary 13
Son of Americana singer-songwriter Kevin Welch, Dustin Welch currently calls Austin home and is no stranger to Houston. He shares a taste for life's seedy side with Tom Waits, as well as a poet's ear for writing about it.
Wednesday is the release party for his second CD, Tijuana Bible, which Welch says was partially inspired by Joseph Campbell and Keith Richards. (Hey, why not?) He will also introduce it with a Cactus Music in-store at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday; selections from Tijuana Bible are now streaming at www.dustinwelch.com. CHRIS GRAY
House of Blues, February 13
Taking his stage name from his buff physique, the R&B singer-songwriter born Durrell Babbs has developed from contributing a few songs to Dave Hollister's Chicago '85... the Movie album in 2000 into one of the most prolific artists in contemporary soul. His songwriting and production credits include Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole, Joe and Jaime Foxx, while boudoir tales like "Don't Give Up" and the less R-Rated "Next Breath" have positioned him as a top crooner as well. Tank's most recent album, last year's This is How I Feel, debuted in the Billboard Top 10 and topped the R&B Albums chart. CHRIS GRAY
Sexual Side Effects
Mango's, February 14
Inspired by X and Chrissie Hynde, the Atlanta-based rockers who were such a hit at last year's Pride Houston festivities make an appropriately amorous Valentine's Day date at Mango's on their "Franken-Tour" with Houston goth-pop chanteuse La Catrin and DJ Damon Allen. CHRIS GRAY

US lawmakers urge caution on war with Iraq WHILE agreeing with Secretary of State Colin Powells case for disarming Iraq, many US lawmakers are saying war is not the only way to rid weapons of mass destruction that President Saddam Hussein may have developed.
aiding Taliban, say Western envoys Fresh Taliban call for war against USA |
18 judges elected to world criminal court
Rumsfeld warns Europeans Munich, February 8 Delaying preparations sends a signal of uncertainty, instead of a signal of unity and resolve, Mr Rumsfeld told an international defence conference. If the international community once again shows a lack of resolve, there is no chance that Saddam Hussein will disarm voluntarily or flee and thus little chance of a peaceful outcome. Mr Rumsfeld turned directly to the deadlock at NATO where France, Germany and Belgium who are holding up preparations for the alliance to protect Turkey against the threat of an Iraqi counter-attack. He warned that the alliance had a treaty obligation to defend Turkey, the only NATO ally that borders Iraq. Those preventing the alliance from taking even minimum measures to prepare to do so risk undermining the credibility of the NATO alliance, Rumsfeld said. NATO has to decide by Monday whether to order its military experts to plan for the deployment of early warning planes, missile defence batteries and specialised units to Turkey. France, Germany and Belgium have held the NATO planning for three weeks, arguing that it could undermine UN efforts to avert a war. Anxious alliance officials fear continued refusal could do irreparable harm to NATO. The Iraq crisis and the divisions it has caused among traditional allies dominated the annual conference that gathered dozens of ministers, military top brass and defence experts from Europe, North America and Asia.
US lawmakers urge caution on war with Iraq WHILE agreeing with Secretary of State Colin Powells case for disarming Iraq, many US lawmakers are saying war is not the only way to rid weapons of mass destruction that President Saddam Hussein may have developed. They have expressed caution about a potential war and urged the Bush administration to inform the American public about the human costs and potential long-term commitments that might be required, if the USA chose to engage Iraq militarily. Some Congressmen have called for a second UN resolution authorising use of force against Iraq. House Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement: Before going to war, we must exhaust all alternatives, such as the continuation of inspections, diplomacy and the leverage provided by the threat of military action. Senator Edward Kennedy, also Democrat, said although Mr Powell made a strong case to the Security Council that Mr Saddam Hussein is a dangerous person and that Iraq is a dangerous country, he did not say anything that we did not already know. Mr Kennedy added: We have to understand the question is not disarming Mr Saddam Hussein, it is how to be able to do it, what is the best way to be able to do it? Where does the commitment of American troops come in? What is going to happen to the American troops? And all other questions which still have not been answered by the administration. The highest ranking Democrat in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Joe Biden, while saying that Mr Powell had made a powerful and irrefutable case against Iraq, urged the Security Council to live up to its responsibilities, enforce its resolutions and provide a united front to force Mr Saddam to back down and avoid war. The choice of war is Saddams, he said. The choice for the Security Council is between relevance and irrelevance. The Senator urged the Bush administration to work with the Security Council to pass a second resolution setting a deadline and authorising force if necessary to disarm Iraq. Mr Biden, however, also asked President Bush to be straightforward with the US people about the commitment that might be asked of them in a potential war with Iraq. The Chairman of the US House Committee on International Relations, Mr Henry Hyde, said Mr Saddam Hussein had ignored repeated warnings from the international community that he must disarm or face war. We must now demonstrate to those who would harm us that our warnings are not empty words and that we will act decisively to defend ourselves. Meanwhile, the Peace Action, the largest peace and disarmament organisation in the USA with over 85,000 members, reacted with scepticism to Mr Colin Powells case against Iraq. The administration still has not made the case for invading Iraq, Mr Kevin Martin, Executive Director of the organisation, said. Sceptical countries on the Security Council were not moved by Mr Powells speech, and I doubt many Americans will be either. Mr Martin added: Inspections are better than war. As former President Jimmy Carter wrote last week, even a long inspections process would cost far less, in money and lives, than war. Nothing Mr Powell said overturns that logic. |
ISI aiding Taliban, say Western envoys London, February 8 The regrouping Taliban and former Afghanistan Premier Gulbuddin Hekmatyars forces were receiving logistical and financial support from members, former or current, of the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, a media report said today quoting senior Afghan officials and Western diplomats in Kabul. They are supporting them now and they will continue to support them, the London-based Financial Times quoted Gen Din Mohammed Juraat, Afghan chief of police, as saying, referring to the ISI. Taliban operatives are sheltered by sympathisers in the mountainous terrain bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan and are planning attacks, the business daily said. The extremist members of Taliban had joined forces with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who has vowed to rid Afghanistan of foreign troops. However, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar had said he had not entered into an alliance with the Taliban to fight foreign forces in Afghanistan, the Afghan Islamic Press reported last month.
Fresh Taliban call for war against USA Islamabad, February 8 In a statement reportedly issued from an unidentified location in Pakistan, Muhammad Mukhtar Mjahid, claiming to be a spokesman for the Taliban said, the leader of the outfit Mullah Omar had directed the organisation to declare a holy war against the USA and allies for atrocities being committed in Afghanistan and Washingtons attempts to attack Iraq. Thousands of innocent Afghans were killed by the US military activities and dwellings that had survived the Russian aggression were destroyed, the spokesman said. Afghanistan was deprived of its sovereignty and with the ouster of the Taliban government the puppet regime of Karzai was installed in its place said the statement, reportedly faxed to the office of Pakistan daily The News in Peshawar. The new directive caught the observers here by surprise as the Taliban had already given such a directive when Omar was ousted from power along with Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
18 judges elected to world criminal court United Nations, February 8 The voting by 85 of the 88 nations that have ratified the courts statutes went to 33 ballots until the last judge was elected late yesterday. Seven of the 18 judges are women from Ireland, Mali, Brazil, Ghana, Costa Rica, Latvia and South African Judge Navanethem Pillay, president of the UN tribunal for genocide in Rwanda. With the USA boycotting the birth of the tribunal, European and other Western nations, which ended up with seven judges, will be footing the bill for the ICC.

A bit of a departure for you Ian!
It's a pleasant enough image but it does need straightening a bit and it's a bit flat.
I've added a mod. in which I've erm, straightened it, increased the exposure a touch using levelas and added some contrast via an "S" curve.
I think that what it really needs is a focal point like a duck or a swan on the water.
Hope this helps.

A nice shot, personally I'd go a bit darker and a bit more contrast, but it's all down to personal taste at the end of the day.
I have uploaded a mod to show you how I see it.

According to the manual, closed cooling was an option.
Just for the record, the 1987-91 TriStar manual lists the following options: - Power Slot Package - Fresh Water Cooling System - Boat Cover - Trick Release - Heater - Tonneau Cover - Sun Top "Fresh Water Cooling System" is a confusing term isn't it? At first it sounds as though it would be the same as "raw water." The manual describes it: -The fresh water cooling system is self-contained and consists of a water to water heat exchanger, reservoir and interconnecting hoses. Water supplied by the raw water system removes heat from engine coolant in the heat exchanger. The engine water pump circulates coolant throughout the system." I have a whole file of TriStar pics but only one or two have FWC as I recall.

Vogel, David (2012) The past twenty years have seen global regulatory leadership shift from the United States to the European Union. LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog (04 Jun 2012) Blog Entry.

For most of the post-war period, the US was the leader in comprehensive and innovative risk regulations. But the last two decades have seen the EU adopt far more stringent regulations than the US, meaning that every global firm must now take European standards and regulatory requirements into account in designing its products. David Vogel argues that this regulatory shift is down to public demands for regulation in Europe, more partisan positions towards regulation in the USA, and the EU's adoption of the precautionary principle.

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am is the brains behind a major recycling initiative at the American Music Awards after taking his idea to find a use for used plastic bottles to Coca-Cola bosses.
The My Humps hitmaker came up with his idea while performing in South America and wondering what would become of all the bottles fans in the audience were tossing away.
He says, "I wanted to come up with a sustainable, aspirational project because so many of these recyclable projects are not the coolest, funkiest, freshest stuff.
"Coca-Cola is the perfect partner and we've been working really hard in making this a reality."
As part of his initiative, will.i.am helped create the AMAs' red carpet, made from used plastic bottles, and backstage furniture recycled from cardboard.
The AMAs are being held in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

Inspired by the wrath of nature, specifically the terrior of the Santa Lucia Highlands, Wrath Wines was founded by Michael Thomas and his mother Barbara Lemmon. In 2007, they purchased the old San Saba Vineyards and set out to dramatically change the estate's wine and viticulture to produce site-driven wines with attitude and passion. Now five years later, their wines are topping critics' lists and Wine Spectator recently named Wrath Wines A Winery to Watch.' Michael Thomas found his way into the winery business in a most interesting way. After earning a PhD in Classical Art and Archaeology from the University of Texas, Michael spent time in Italy exploring the cultures of the Etruscans and Romans. He spent fifteen years running archaeology excavations in the country and spent his free time discovering the hidden Italian restaurants, markets and wine shops in the quaint hillside villages. Michael naturally came to appreciate the art of Italian wine, and combining this passion with his years of working with soil as an archaeologist, he decided that joining the wine business was an appropriate direction.
Michael saw many similarities between the rural and fertile Santa Lucia Highlands and the dramatic countryside of Italy. He jumped at the chance of buying and rejuvenating the old 68-acre San Saba estate and now works closely with winemaker Sabrine Rodems, consultant Byron Kosuge, and grower Steve McIntyre to create the limited, and already highly regarded, portfolio of Wrath Wines. Michael still maintains an archaeology research position at the University of Texas and escapes to Italy with his wife and children any chance he gets.

It has often been stated, "Posture is a Window to the Spine." For the doctor that utilizes posture analysis, this is a true statement because an accurate posture analysis will comparably match an X-ray analysis. True, an X-ray will reveal far more detail, but a posture analysis can provide a valuable tool for assessing the spine and body as a whole unit. Ideally, a thorough spinal examination would include both an X-ray examination and a posture analysis exam. An advantage of posture analysis is the low cost and no irradiation exposure (to the patient), which makes posture analysis ideal for monitoring patient progress.
Utilizing posture analysis (to monitor patient progress) towards the goal of ideal posture and spinal health must begin with an understanding of static body mechanics. Much research has been done on static posture analysis, which gives great insight into the interpretation of posture and how to correct it. Did you know that the overwhelming conclusion of postural research shows that between 70%-80% of all individuals has an anatomical short leg. For example, Friberg1 examined 798 patients with chronic low back and/or unilateral hip symptoms and 359 symptom free subjects. ASL of 5mm or more was found in 75.4% of the symptomatic patients and 43.5% of the asymptomatic controls.
Quantitative documentation using proven methods is a must when posture correction is your goal. A photo analysis of the individual patient is very personal (to them). When millimeters of distortion can create soft tissue havoc, then correcting that distortion will often provide much relief. Documentation of positive change will tell you that your treatment is on the right track. It is imperative that you show that change to your patients, as it will further engage them toward the goal of correction.
Was your mother right when she told you to stand or sit up straight? Can you simply correct posture by thinking about it, by standing or sitting straight? Although your mother's intent was genuine, you cannot simply correct posture with a conscious effort! Breathing is an unconscious act and so is posture. Postural distortions are a result of structural misalignment, anatomical anomalies, muscle weakness/imbalance and soft tissue weaknesses. To correct posture and restore spinal health these issues must be addressed.

Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office:
Today, at approximately midnight, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from a 26 year old male who told the dispatcher he had just been shot with a shotgun. The victim told the dispatcher he needed law enforcement and medical attention immediately. He also told the dispatcher he believed the suspect was still on scene and was trying to kill him. Deputies and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the victim's residence in the 6300 block of Longview Drive, Eureka. Medical personnel staged while deputies entered the residence and checked for the suspect. Deputies located the victim in the hallway of the residence near the front door. A neighbor had heard the victim's pleas for help and entered the home prior to law enforcement's arrival to assist the victim with his injuries. The neighbor saw the victim was bleeding heavily from his left forearm and applied a tourniquet, using a belt to the stop the bleeding.
Deputies secured the residence and surrounding area, and determined the suspect had fled the scene. Medical personnel entered the residence and treated the victim for the shotgun injuries. Deputies were able to interview the victim while he was being treated. The victim told the investigating deputy he had no idea who shot him or why. The victim said he heard a knock at his front door about 11:55 p.m., (11-13-2014). The victim was not expecting anyone, so he looked out his window and saw a male with his back turned toward his front door. The victim thought this was strange, due to hour and the man's behavior. The victim picked up a handgun for protection and answered the front door. The victim opened the front door part way to see what the man wanted at which time the suspect kicked at the door, which opened it further. The suspect then shot victim, who slammed the door using his shoulder and called 911.
The victim was transported to a local hospital and has been transferred to an out of area hospital due to the nature of his injuries.
The victim was able to provide the following suspect description: Late teens or early twenties, possibly Hispanic male, wearing a gray hoodie with the hood up, gray sweatpants and a black bandana over his face armed with a single barrel shotgun.
Anyone with information for the Sheriff's Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff's Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

Invitation to TWC Spring Series 2015
For the upcoming Spring Series, TWC is experimenting with a new format. Instead of having rehearsals aimed towards performance we are operating as a women's singing circle. Rather than work on a set of songs for performance, we are learning different songs each week with some of the songs carried over to other weeks to learn them more thoroughly and enjoy singing them longer.
The Spring Series is shorter than usual, running from Monday, March 2 thru Monday, April 27, 7-8:30pm in the chapel at St. Mark's. (See the Schedule page for directions.) The registration fee is $50; it can be paid when you join or in two installments—plus scholarship help is available. First rehearsal for newcomers is FREE.
Please note that there is no Thursday group in the northwest area. Otherwise, the chorus runs as usual with registration, including the usual payment plan option and scholarships available.
We return to rehearsals and performances in the fall.
Please consider joining us to explore many songs, to continue building our women's singing community and to enjoy singing with women'and girls if you have any in your life that you'd like to bring along. Help us spread the word to your friends and family, workmates and acquaintances.
Please Note: Due to extenuating circumstances this spring, the director may need to cancel a rehearsal on short notice. Please check this website before you come to a session. If there is a cancellation, there will be a banner on this homepage.

Effect of sampling on real ocular aberration measurements
JOSA A, Vol. 24, Issue 9, pp. 2783-2796 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1581 KB)
The minimum number of samples necessary to fully characterize the aberration pattern of the eye is a question under debate in the clinical as well as the scientific community. We performed repeated measurements of ocular aberrations in 12 healthy nonsurgical human eyes and in 3 artificial eyes, using different sampling patterns (hexagonal, circular, and rectangular with 19 to 177 samples, and 3 radial patterns with 49 sample coordinates corresponding to zeros of the Albrecht, Jacobi, and Legendre functions). For each measurement set we computed two different metrics based on the root-mean-square (RMS) of difference maps (RMS_Diff) and the proportional change in the wavefront

The Vampire Diaries: 5 Most Romantic Moments of All Time
The Vampire Diaries knows how to do romance. At its center, stands an epic love triangle that has managed to keep fans interested — more than that, passionate — for four-and-a-half seasons and counting. And that's not even taking into account any of the other compelling love stories on this show. In honor of Valentine's Day, here are the five more romantic moments in TVD history.
Elena tells Stefan not to hide (Season 1, Episode 10)
Stefan and Elena have had so many epic moments over the course of TVD, but one of our absolute favorites came early on when the couple first has sex. In the episode, Stefan is planning on leaving Mystic Falls for good… until Elena convinces him to stay by telling him she loves him. They make out and, when Stefan goes into vamp mode and tries to look away, Elena won't let him. "Don't hide from me," she tells him. They stare into one another's eyes as "Cut" by Plumb plays in the background and it's beautiful. Also, it happens to be Paul Wesley's favorite Stelena scene, too!
Caroline stays with Tyler during his first transition (Season 2, Episode 11)
Though Forwood may be in dire straits right now, when they were good, they were really good. Their romance blossomed in the most unconventional way: while Tyler was struggling to deal with his transformation into a werewolf. During his first full moon, Caroline stays with him until he turns, even though one bite from him would kill her. "I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere," she tells him while cradling his body. Fact: Caroline is the best at loving people.
Klaus intends to be Caroline's last love (Season 4, Episode 23)
After a season of sexual tension and unrequited horse drawings, Klaus returns in the Season 4 finale of TVD for Caroline's high school graduation. That's right: He's an immortal hybrid who has lived for centuries, and he's making a road trip to see his not-girlfriend in a cap and gown. Throw in the fact that he managed to save Caroline and company from a gaggle of revenging resurrected baddies, and you've one of the best entrance ever. But it's one of Klaus' parting lines that really make this scene oh-so-romantic: "[Tyler's] your first love. I intend to be your last."
Elena isn't sorry for loving Damon (Season 4, Episode 23)
The Season 4 finale is chock full of romance! In addition to the Klaroline moment, we also have this game-changing, uber romantic scene between Damon and Elena. When he tells her that, "There's no apology in the world that encompasses all of the reasons I'm wrong for you," she launches her own passionate argument about just how much she loves him and wants to be with him: "I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you have made me question everything. And that, in death, you're the one who made me feel most alive … I am not sorry that I'm in love with you." Swoon.
Rebekah saves Matt (Season 4, Episode 23)
One for the short-term romancers out there! If there's anyone in the TVD universe who is dying to be in love, it's probably Rebekah. And, if there's anyone who deserves to be in love, it's probably Matt. These two might not have shared an epic romance, but that didn't make their brief time together any less romantic. In the Season 4 finale (What? It was a romantic episode), an immortal Rebekah volunteers to get blown up for Matt, but because he is too noble to let her, she has to distract him into it. "The first rule of truly living: do the thing you're most afraid of," she tells Matt before pulling him in for an epic kiss. It might not have been true love, but this ephemerally romantic moment is still one of our faves. What's your favorite romantic moment on TVD? Sound off in the comments below!

As most readers doubtless know, the Naval Institute has numerous outlets for content in addition to Proceedings , whether it be our sister publication Naval History , the USNI News site, our robust blog, or the venerable Naval Institute Press. But the one that we share a unique relationship with is our conferences branch. Many a Proceedings article over the years has provided the inspiration for a panel session at a subsequent conference. Indeed, one can say that the pages of Proceedings "come to life" at these events. But sometimes it works the other way around, too, with comments made during a panel giving impetus to an article.
