Kit Fisto
Kit Fisto is a striking example of an alien Jedi, a Nautolan with large eyes, and a gathered tangle of flexible tentacle-tresses extending from his head. He is at home in the waters of aquatic planets, like his native Glee Anselm. As a Jedi Master, Fisto has an intense focus, particularly in combat. He is also much more laid back and capable of enjoying a hearty chuckle than some of his humorless colleagues.

Kit Fisto vs. General Grievous
At Grievous's lair on the third moon of Vassik, Kit Fisto battles the cyborg warlord on the stronghold's landing platform, which is shrouded in fog.
Arriving in the Fog
The Jedi have tracked fugitive Nute Gunray to the third moon of Vassek and send Kit Fisto there to capture him. Landing his Jedi Starfighter in the fog, Fisto reunites with his former Padawan, Nahdar Vebb, who is joined by a small squad of clone troopers.
Showing Some Teeth
During the battle in the Geonosian arena, Kit Fisto knocks down the Threepio/battle droid hybrid, appearing somewhat amused by the protocol droid's predicament.
Grievous' Lair
In a mysterious stronghold on the third moon of Vassek, Kit Fisto, Nahdar Vebb and several clone troopers move cautiously through the chamber's halls, uncertain of the lair's inhabitant -- that is, until they discover the body armor of General Grievous!

Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious
Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, Sidious was in fact Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He slowly manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor -- ruling the galaxy through fear and tyranny.
Jedi Order
A noble order of protectors unified by their ability to tap into the power of the Force, the Jedi Order were the guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic. The age of the Jedi would end, however, due to a nefarious plot by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.
General Grievous
General Grievous was a brilliant Separatist military strategist and a feared Jedi hunter, known for his ruthlessness and hacking cough. His body itself was a weapon, allowing him lightning quick strikes and devastating blows. But he was also quick to run from a fight, a tactic that worked until one final meeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
A harsh rocky world less than a parsec away from Tatooine, Geonosis is a ringed planet beyond the borders of the Galactic Republic. Its uninviting surface is made up of harsh, rocky desert, and the creatures that evolved on Geonosis are well equipped to survive in the brutal environment. The most advanced lifeform are the Geonosians, sentient insectoids that inhabit towering spire-hives. The Geonosians maintain large factories for the production of droids and weapons for the Separatist cause in the Clone Wars.
C-3PO (See-Threepio)
C-3PO is a droid programmed for etiquette and protocol, built by the heroic Jedi Anakin Skywalker, and a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Over the years, he was involved in some of the galaxy's most defining moments and thrilling battles -- and is fluent in over six million forms of communication.
Mace Windu
A grim Jedi Master with an amethyst-bladed lightsaber, Mace Windu was the champion of the Jedi Order, with little tolerance for the failings of the Senate, the arguments of politicians, or the opinions of rebellious Jedi. As the Clone Wars intensified, Mace sensed the dark side of the Force at work, and knew the Jedi's enemies were plotting to destroy the Order and end its stewardship of the galaxy.

Introduction to birth control
If a woman is sexually active and she is fertile and physically able to become pregnant, she needs to ask herself, "Do I want to become pregnant now?" If her answer is "No," she must use some method of birth control (contraception).
Words used to describe birth control methods include contraception, pregnancy prevention, fertility control, and family planning. But no matter what the terminology, sexually active people can choose from a variety of methods to reduce the possibility of their becoming pregnant. Nevertheless, no method of birth control available today offers perfect protection against sexually transmitted infections (sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs), except abstinence.
In simple terms, all methods of birth control are based on either preventing a man's sperm from reaching and entering a woman's egg (fertilization) or preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the woman's uterus (her womb) and starting to grow. New methods of birth control are being developed and tested all the time. And what is appropriate for a couple at one point may change with time and circumstances.
Unfortunately, no birth control method, except abstinence, is considered to be 100% effective.
What are natural methods of contraception?
Reader Stories
Natural methods of contraception are considered "natural" because they are not mechanical and not a result of hormone manipulation. Instead, these methods require that a man and woman not have sexual intercourse during the time when an egg is available to be fertilized by a sperm.
The fertility awareness methods (FAMs) are based upon knowing when a woman ovulates each month. In order to use a FAM, it is necessary to watch for the signs and symptoms that indicate ovulation has occurred or is about to occur.
On the average, the egg is released about 14 (plus or minus 2) days before a woman's next menstrual period. But because the egg survives 3 to 4 days (6 to 24 hours after ovulation) and the sperm can live 48 to 72 hours (up to even 5 days in fertile mucous), the actual time during which a woman may become pregnant is measured not in hours, not in days, but in weeks.
FAMS can be up to 98% effective, but they require a continuous and conscious commitment with considerable monitoring and self-control. Although these methods were developed to prevent pregnancy, they can equally be well used by a couple to increase fertility and promote conception.

In Tuesday's Lenoir County Board of Elections meeting, the three board members — Lucinda Minges, Courtney Patterson and chairman Tommy Pharo — had to make a decision on reducing hours for one-stop voting in elections for November.
While Minges and Pharo agreed to reduce the vote, Patterson opposed, preventing the law from being enacted. A unanimous vote was needed to pass it.
Patterson said the initial decision by the North Carolina General Assembly was what he stood pat with.
"I opposed simply because the General Assembly put into law that the hours would remain the same, and I stood with the position they established," Patterson said. "I only upheld what they did when they made the new voting laws, which will give voters of Lenoir County every opportunity to vote. I agree with the guidance that we should give as much access to the polls as we possibly can."
Dana King, director of the Lenoir County Board of Education, said the law passed by the General Assembly lowered the number of days from 17 to 10 in last year's voter ID bill and a plan was put into place to reduce hours as well.
"In the May 2010 primary, we were open for 426 hours, and we were trying to get down to 256 with the vote," King said. "Although the days are reduced, we'll have to use the same amount of hours in November. Now, we'll just work on the amount of precincts and work on accommodating the hours."
Pharo said Lenoir County has one of the most one-stop hours available in the state.
"We use the sixth-most hours in the state of North Carolina when it comes to one-stop voting," Pharo said. "If we reduce it, we're down to No. 77. We tried to make the decision on facts and figures and gave eight examples of counties with comparable populations. In Columbus County, they're open for 322.5 hours, and on the lower end, Stanly County is at 106.5. On the high end, we're 25 to 30 percent higher and on the low end, we have four times the amount of hours.
"My thing is, why are we spending up to $25,000 of taxpayer money for this?"
Pharo continued, "We're not trying to disenfranchise anyone and prevent people from voting. We need to be good stewards of the citizens' money and follow law, but also be realistic. There's a chance we may have to keep polls open from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and we have to have people, two assistant chief judges, equipment and find places — some who may ask us to pay."
Pharo said he didn't agree with Patterson's decision, but had no hard feelings about it.
"We have different opinions, but I have the utmost respect for Courtney Patterson," Pharo said. "We're going to do what we have to do to have the polls open for the citizens."
Minges was unavailable for comment.

Edward Morche — Senior Vice President, Level 3 Government Markets Group
Hurricane Sandy didn't manage to bring down federal websites or data centers. But not everyone was so lucky. Several big commercial sites were knocked out, even though they thought they had backup. Morche says a big mistake for IT people, whether government or private, is not making sure their communications carriers have physically redundant links from a primary data center to the backup, and vice-versa.

David Dzombak — Carnegie Mellon engineering professor, chaired the National Research Council committee
As the East Coast slowly begins to dry up, some academics are warning that floods and other disasters will be in our future unless the federal government makes major changes. The National Research Council has published a report. calling on the Army Corps of Engineers to change to the way it manages 14,000 miles of levees, 700 dams and many more water structures. It calls on Congress and the White House to act too. Dzombak chaired the committee that wrote the report.
Water resource infrastructure not adequately funded, report says
Fred Smith — Technology Team Leader, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Federal agencies have spent nearly 20 years building up their stores of online information. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has launched a program to make better use of all that information. It's called content syndication, and it's more than just letting a search engine find it.
Steve Bauer — Director, FEEA
If you're a federal employee hurt by Sandy, there's help for you. The Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund is providing emergency loans and grants. But the organization says it needs help too. Other natural disasters have nearly drained its coffers.

DoD Report
National Guard members are out in force around the Washington region. In Virginia, they are bolstering local police forces by helping to control traffic at accident sites. They've helped firefighters take residents to hospitals and shelters. They are also helping clear debris like fallen trees. The District has asked the Guard to provide similar support through November fourth. And in Maryland, Guard members have been providing round-the-clock help to coastal residents. (Defense Department)
Spending by the Intelligence community fell in 2012 for the second year in a row. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says total funding was $53.9 billion. Reuters reports that includes civilian activities such as the CIA and the National Reconnaissance Office. Military intelligence accounted for another $21.5 billion. The total, more than 75 billion, is down from the 20-11 figure of nearly $79 billion. Officials gave no other details about how the money is spent. Although intelligence spending has declined, it is still about twice the level as before the 9/11 attacks. (Reuters)
Cybersecurity Report
A massive data breach in South Carolina underscores the gaps between feds and states when it comes to cybersecurity. USA Today reports federal agencies have made their networks more secure over the past decade. Not all states have followed suit. In South Carolina, officials estimate the cyber thieves took more than 3.6 million Social Security numbers. None of those numbers were encrypted. They say the hackers used state-approved computer credentials to access state databases. This year there have been 76 reported security breaches of government and military networks in which nearly 10 million records were accessed. But cybersecurity experts suspect that's just a fraction of the actual number of successful cyber attacks. (USA Today)
Video feeds from U.S. military drones are still downloading un-encrypted. That's four years since the discovery that anyone can intercept the feeds and see what U.S. forces see. Sources tell Wired Magazine's Danger Room, about half the feeds are encrypted. But it will take until 2014 until they all are. Early drones were too small and underpowered to take heavy encryption gear aloft. Later models can carry 10 times the weight of the first generation of drones. Armed, video-equipped drones have become the Pentagon's weapon of choice for finding and killing terrorists. They're flown in Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan and Afghanistan. (Wired)

Draft Status: Sapp is probably the 2nd best rush OLB prospect in this draft, after Jerry Hughes from TCU with Texas A&M's Von Miller and Sergio Kindle from Texas in the mix as well. What that means is, how he runs in shorts could mean the different between a late first and late 2nd/early 3rd round grade.
Final Analysis: I think Sapp has a ton of potential as a pass rush specialist. He's never going to be an every down run stuffing linebacker but I can see him approach double digit sacks and TFL's on a consistent basis. Him coming back so strong this year after tearing his ACL the year before speaks volumes about his strength, his conditioning and dispels some concerns that he is now injury prone. I wouldn't take Sapp ahead of Hughes, but I would absolutely take him ahead of Miller or Kindle. He's got to hit the weight room, and it's basically a total mystery just how good his agility and speed can translate to coverage, but you have to assume he can assimilate to the full time stand up position. His cluster of pass rush moves are good and he uses more than one on a regular basis which is a nice sign of his development as a player. Lots of guys have multiple moves, but only use 1. That secondary rush move is crucial, when your bread and butter gets stuffed what do you do? Sapp is good about switching it up, mid play.
Reminds me of: Kamerion Wimbley, LB Cleveland Browns-Similar builds and skill sets, and we are finally seeing some of his potential he flashed as a rookie. Sapp has a chance to develop beyond where Wimbley is now, and be a very good player. Just don't ever expect him to get up in the hole and stuff the run, or work a big offensive tackle and get the running back. That's not his game.

Ireland scored five tries in their 42-10 win over Italy in Dublin.
The scoreline suggests a convincing showing, but Ireland will be disappointed with their poor overall performance, especially considering they played in their own backyard. Despite creating several try-scoring opportunities early on, they only managed to grab three of their tries in the final quarter when the Italian defence folded. Their general attacking play was static on regular occasions as they committed numerous unforced errors. The absence of sick forwards coach Gert Smal also seemed to be a setback as their lineout and scrum displays were a concern.
Italy can only blame themselves for not scoring any more points. They created a couple of counter attacks in the first half, but a lack of composure allowed the Irish cover defence to restrict the visitors. South African-born flyhalf Tobias Botes had a poor outing with the boot, as he missed three out of four penalty shots and skewed an easy drop goal attempt.
The opening half hour was tight contest, as the scoreboard read 10-10. Ireland gained the early lead with a try through outside centre Keith Earls while flyhalf Jonny Sexton added the conversion and a penalty. The Azzurri fought back to level the scores as Botes kicked his only successful penalty while his clever pass also put skipper Sergio Parisse into space to dot down.
Ireland then scored a telling try before the break. After being awarded a penalty in a kickable position, they opted to go for touch and successfully crossed the chalk after several phases through winger Tommy Bowe.
The hosts grinded out the win in the second half as Italy struggled to muster any threat with ball in hand. Bowe completed a brace while reserve prop Tom Court and wing Andrew Trimble grabbed late tries in the dying moments.

GENERIC NAME: midazolam injection
BRAND NAME: Versed (discontinued brand)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Midazolam is a drug used for sedation. It is in the benzodiazepine family, the same family that includes lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), flurazepam (Dalmane), and others. It is thought that excessive activity of nerves in the brain may cause anxiety and other psychological disorders. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, a chemical that nerves in the brain use to send messages to one another. GABA reduces the activity of nerves in the brain. Midazolam and other benzodiazepines may act by enhancing the effects of GABA in the brain. The FDA approved midazolam in December 1985.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Injection: 1 and 5 mg/ml
STORAGE: Midazolam should be stored at room temperature, between 59 F and 86 F (15 C and 30 C) away from light and moisture.

As a man that works in a perfumery, I can honestly say that this is one of my favourites. Definitely a fresh, young fragrance that can be worn any day, especially in the spring/summer. It goes on a light citrus, and becomes a warm vanilla-floral throughout the day. Recommended for those who like Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue but WANT TO BE ORIGNAL.

This supernatural bundle contains all five volumes of Nighthead Genesis!
It is commonly known that the human mind is not fully utilized, and there is a theory that the unused portion houses the potential for fantastic mental powers, a concept known as the "Night Head." Such is the case for Naoto and Naoya Kirihara, two brothers abandoned by their parents out of fear for their psychic gifts.
Held in captivity for fifteen years, the two finally escape their laboratory prison. But even free in the outside world, they are still burdened by the weight of their abilities. They become entangled in case after case involving the supernatural, which gradually leads them to a greater conspiracy.
Contains episodes 1-24.

Senior from Dublin, Va.
Major: Athletic Training in the College of Education and Human Development
Activities: Athletic Training student for the men's basketball team and cheerleading team
While Virginia native Adam Viet enrolled in college in Texas while serving in the United States Air Force, he knew he wanted to finish his education in his home state after his service was fulfilled. He visited many colleges upon returning to the Commonwealth, but one stood out above all the others – Radford University.
"I participated in several summer camps hosted by Radford throughout my childhood and knew this was the school I wanted to attend," said Viet, who hails from Dublin, Va.
After enrolling, Viet spoke with professors about the athletic training program. Highly competitive, the program accepts only 16 students per year. In addition to classwork, students must participate in clinical rotations. Viet is currently completing his rotation by working as an athletic training student for the Radford University men's basketball team and the cheerleading team.
Viet notes that one-on-one attention from the faculty and the camaraderie of his fellow athletic training majors contributes to his academic success.
"The faculty is great and always willing to help students to succeed," he said. "It has also been fun being around my classmates. The small cohort has become a very tight-knit group. We have nearly every class together."
In addition to earning an exceptional grade point average in the challenging field, Viet has been researching the effectiveness of interferential current therapy in the treatment of back pain for one of his athletic training classes.
After he graduates, Viet hopes to obtain a graduate assistantship so he can continue his education in athletic training.

More than 50 years after its first publication, Doubleday's definitive edition of Anne Frank's famous diary generated an extraordinary amount of excitement when it was published in early 1995. Enthusiastically received by critics and readers alike, it reigned for nine weeks on The New York Times best-seller list and will remain for all time the version that millions of readers will cherish.
©2010 Random House
"The new edition reveals a new depth to Anne's dreams, irritations, hardship, and passions....There may be no better way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II than to reread The Diary of a Young Girl, a testament to an indestructive nobility of spirit in the face of pure evil." (Chicago Tribune)
"First review I've written - Had to write it"
I have enjoyed many audible books before, but I've never felt compelled to write a review.
I had never read Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl. I assumed that I knew what it was about and that her diary entries would not hold my attention. I was mistaken on both accounts.
I looked forward every day for a chance to listen to the book. Anne Frank wrote with such emotional candor, eye for detail, and ear for conversations that I found myself wondering many times what she could have written if she had lived. I never grew tired of listening.
Selma Blair's reading is superb. Other readers might have just conveyed the intelligence and the eye of Ms. Frank - Ms. Blair goes further. She captures the adolescence quality of Anne Frank, the "young girl" - the petulance, the exasperation with the adults in the annex - through well-timed pauses.sighs, laughs.
In Los Angeles, where I live, The Museum of Tolerance has a letter that Anne Frank wrote to a pen-pal in the United States. It is a tribute to Audible and Ms. Blair that when I read the words of the letter, I heard Ms. Blair's voice reading them in my mind.
"I Finally Read It!!!...and have been given a gift."
In my ignorance I thought I knew this story without having read it. Even though I have read many books on WWII, I swept by this assuming it was what it seemed to be...people hiding from the Nazis. However, there is so much depth and humanity to this work that it truly deserves its recognition. How one young girl could give us all so much is testiment to its honesty and innocence. If you have not read it and said someday you would...now is the time. There is no reviewing it as it stands apart from any criticism. This is an experience and a human journey that will live with you well past closing the book...hopefully for the rest of your life.
Selma's performance is fitting.
"Deeply Moving"
If you haven't read Anne Frank's diary, written over a two year period by a girl in her early teens in hiding from the Nazis, the time is now! I will warn you that this is the entire diary, not the abridged version her father initially published. She talks about sex, her body, and the tension between herself and her mother. Anne gives us a glimpse into the stresses and struggles her family, and the four others in hiding with them, faced as they lived above Mr. Frank's business. Yet, it's not just a WWII story; Anne gives us a well-painted picture of a girl going through the normal conflicts of growing up. This was a book that stayed with me for days after I had finished listening.
I found the reader irritating at first because her voice wasn't the one I heard in my head for Anne, but she did a good job of expressing Anne's feelings in a teenager's voice.
"First time"
I had never read this before, and was a little leery because I normally like fiction and didn't know if it would keep my interest. This was a very enjoyable listen, often funny, and often tear-jerking. Selma Blair does a great job of capturing the innocence, and insight, of the young Anne Frank. Even if you've read it before, give this one a listen!
i am a fashionista nerd> I am studying as well as practicing Medicine. I am also a Phd student . I love mathamatics as well. Shopping !!
Number one !
Her thankfulness for where she was! Falling in puppy love and having hope even when the adults were losing it!
She spoke to me as Ann! I felt like I was inside Ann's thoughts emotions wishes dreams! I know she is a fully grown woman but her voice gave the innocence Ann deserved to be given! She did Ann justice. I have heard many but none as hauntingly portrayed as she. Although we know the end was horrific. She broke it to use sympathetically as a family member would! Chilling!!
Her last passage! That's all I can say!
I read the children's version as mandatory reading as a child! I wanted to know all there was left. I heard there were other versions but never had the time to read them. Now on my commute to school or cleaning or cooking I can listen and its just awesome!
"Have always loved this book."
Of course, this book is wonderful. I wish that it was read by someone other than Selma Blair. I know there must be a reason as to why they chose her to narrate this book, maybe her voice really is Anne's true personality ~ but that's just it ~ Her voice is very dull and drab. Still, I love listening to the life and times of this young, amazingly bright girl. Anne was far before her time, or maybe she was just perfect for it. This book gives a great deal more detail than the other Anne Frank books that I have read. I am enjoying listening to it for the first time and learning new things about her and her family. ~
"The Diary of a Young Girl"
A really great reader for this book...
"Living in the mind of a young girl"
Selma Blair's performance made it feel like Anne was talking right to me. This audio book was transformed into a friend telling of her trials and a friend listening intently. This is story is amazing on its own but the performance set it apart.
Anne is a real teen girl and I felt like if I had been in her situation... Well I don't know. It's a tragedy that Anne had to experience these hardships and that in the end she suffered even more but I appreciate that the story is real and raw. I am thankful for Anne who spent all that time writing in her journal and sharing her story.
The part where Anne talks about making a difference long after she is gone... I cried, like a baby!
See the comment above, yes absolutely!
Anne transforms through out her time in the Secret annex and that makes her more likable as her story develops. I hate for her that she wasn't able to enjoy her youth but I am greatful that she shared her story with us and that would make her happy if she knew, all the lives she had touched through writing in her journal.
"The Diary of Anne Frank"
I picked this book as the first audio book purchased through audible.com; because it was a simple format (diary) and it was narrated by Selma Blair - an actress I am familiar with.
Although some of the content is dry and Selma Blair sometimes seems to lack enthusiasm in her portrayal of Anne Frank, I am overall pleased with this book and would recommend it to anyone interested. However, be prepared - the content is depressing at times and I was quite emotional throughout the reading.
I also started becoming slightly obsessed with learning more about the Holocaust (the genocide of approximately six million European Jews and millions of others during World War II, led by Adolf Hitler, throughout Nazi-occupied territory. Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds perished. More than one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men).
This was not something I had previous knowledge about – never learned it in school (or don't remember) and so I became curious about how this happened….needless to say," it opened up a whole can of worms" for me and I ended up enveloped in the history of this time – not very pleasant.

An open letter to the "Sleepy Hollow" producers:
First, I like your show. Tom Mison as Ichabod Crane and Nicole Beharie as Lt. Abbie Mills have chemistry. And the story lines are a hoot.
I also really appreciate your filming around New Bern. I hope you'll come back. We really enjoy the attention, status and excitement you bring.
But as a historian I have to confess, some things in your show are starting to drive me nuts.
Now, I realize that, as fiction, you must take some artistic license. So I won't complain about how far your story strays from Irving's … actually, I have yet to see a rendition of "Sleepy Hollow" that doesn't, unless it's the version that little dog did on "Wishbone" on PBS.
I won't even complain about the imagery from the Book of Revelation. Using the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a cool trick. I admit that declaring Ichabod and Abbie to be the "two witnesses" of Revelation is a bit of a pull, because the Bible's witnesses are fire-breathing prophets in Jerusalem who are killed by the Beast. You've actually read that book, right?
Nor will I complain that you've turned the Revolutionary War, right down to the Boston Tea Party, into George Washington's secret war against the devil. At least I think that's what you've done. It fits the rules: you still say it looked like a real war against the king. The whole "shake the demons" routine was secret. I get it.
But, to stick to that Biblical theme, your historical faux pas have gone from strainable gnats to unswallowable camels. Let me explain:
In an early episode Ichabod is going through a cemetery, brushing aside Spanish moss.
Spanish moss.
In northern New York.
Are you aware that stuff stops growing at the Virginia line? I admit I gripped the arms of my chair a bit.
Then you burned a witch at the stake.
Yes, they did occasionally burn people this side of the Pond. William Brice, one of our earliest settlers, roasted an Indian chief early in the Tuscarora War. But they never burned witches.
No, our folks were much kinder than those witch-burning Europeans. We tossed ours in a hole, laid a door on them, and piled it with stones until they confessed or were squished. Then we very gently tied a rope around their necks and hanged them. But we didn't burn them.
I began tapping my feet in frustration.
Then Ichabod led Abbie through a damp underground tunnel that had been undiscovered since the Revolution. As I saw them navigate its decidedly modern cast-iron catwalks and steel ladders my jaw hung open. If there'd been a dental assistant in the house, she could have cleaned my teeth.
This week I watched as Abbie and Ichabod discovered the Lost Colony still living in North Carolina, still dressing and talking just like they did when they'd first come to America, in Middle English. And only Ichabod Crane could understand them. He'd taken Middle English, "The language of Chaucer," he explained, when he was a student in England.
Okay. I won't ask why on earth he studied Middle English. I won't even ask why the Lost Colony managed to remain hidden for something like 400 years from explorers, hunters, jets, helicopters and Google Earth (it was, after all, protected by a narrow stream. What mortal would have been brave enough to cross that?)
But why on earth were these people speaking Middle English? Chaucer died in 1400. Richard Grenville and his gang came over in 1585. They were contemporaries of Shakespeare who talked like Shakespeare. Middle English had been dead for better than a century.
There were holes in my walls by the end of that episode. And bits of plaster sticking to my forehead.
I look forward to your next episode, I really do. But please buy a history book before I do myself a serious injury.

Recent Deersville Reviews
Deersville OH Cottage in February
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary along with our two adult children, and we all enjoyed the cottage as well as the southeast Ohio region. The fact that our Chesapeake Bay Retriever was welcome at the cottage was also a big factor. There's plenty of "roaming" to do on the 13 acres, which are dominate by a very large and tall hill. The cottage was clean, warm and cozy. It's not quite a "bath-and-a-half," but the extra toilet in the utility room came in handy. We also visited and enjoyed the nearby city of Cadiz and Harrison State Forest. The cottage owner, Jim, and I shared several email messages prior to our trip. Jim is very accommodating and informative. We'll definitely return to his Deersville cottage, probably during warmer weather.

Film crews took over Stowe Dairy Farm in
Filming for the movie started earlier this month, using Gaston, Lincoln and
"An Evergreen Christmas" tells the story of a country girl, Evergreen "Evie" Lee, who left the farm for city life. Lee (played by Charleene Closshey) returns home for a funeral and finds the family homestead in jeopardy of foreclosure.
During her journey back home, Evie rediscovers her musical roots.
A well-known actor with musical roots, Naomi Judd, co-stars in the film.
Another notable actor in the upcoming movie is Robert Loggia, known for parts in "The Sopranos," "Big" and "Scarface."
The casting director also aimed to find local talent, said the movie's producer, Kim Waltrip.
Brantley Pollock of
Other actors in the production include Booboo Stewart , Jake Sandvig and Sal Lopez.
Earlier that morning, Closshey and much of the cast gathered at
More than 100 extras from the area participated in the shoot, according to Waltrip. Extras will be used in other upcoming scenes though none were on set at Stowe Farm.
Most of the crew also comes from the region, said Waltrip.
"We got fortunate to get a lot of the 'Homeland' crew because they're on hiatus," said Waltrip.
The hit Showtime series "Homeland" filmed much of its first season in Gaston and surrounding counties.
Both of the movie's writers were on set Wednesday - the brother/sister team of Morgen and Jeremy Culver.
Jeremy Culver, the film's director, watched on a small screen under a canopy Wednesday morning.
Actors ran lines and stood under umbrellas as rain fell.
Waltrip said working in the rain with a lot of people can get wild, but the job gets done.
Waltrip optimistically said the rain drops atop the trees added a nice visual touch. Crews trudged through the muddy trails in between takes – walking to the set, trailers and a coffee station set up on the front porch.
The weather has been challenging, but the location, scenery and financing makes the task worth the trouble, said Waltrip.
"We came here for the scenery and the tax incentive that the state offers," she said.
Some scenery shots for the movie will take place in
Helms Christmas Tree Farm will be the next location, according to Waltrip.
The storyline takes place in fictional Balsam,

Men's Soccer Falls 2-1 to Limestone in Double Overtime Playing Fifth OT Contest in Seven Matches
September 25, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Limestones Lee Smyth (Somerset, ENGLAND) tallied the game-winner in the 105th minute of double overtime as the Saints scored a 2-1 Conference Carolinas victory over Pfeiffer University in mens soccer action on Saturday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. The victory moves the Saints to 5-3 overall, 2-1 in league play. The Falcons, playing their fifth overtime contest in seven matches, fall to 1-3-2, 1-2.
Scoreless through a majority of regulation, Pfeiffer struck first at 76:23 as Fahret Salihovic (Charlotte, NC) blasted a shot from 30 yards out, bouncing his attempt of the left post and in, putting the Falcons ahead 1-0. Five minutes later in the 82nd minute, Tom Morris (Berkshire, ENGLAND) notched the tying goal with a header from a Keegan Ziada (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA) corner kick for a 1-1 match.
With just over five minutes remaining in the second extra session, Smyth grabbed a loose ball at midfield and deflected his shot in the cage off the right post for the game-winner. In a scoreless first 10 minutes of overtime, Pfeiffer out-shot the Saints 4-1.
Winless now in five overtime matches, Pfeiffer will return to action on Tuesday hosting Mount Olive for another league tilt at 2:00 p.m.

Deadline set for building demolition
The McCrossen Building in Everett was severely damaged in a Nov. 8 blaze
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Firefighters investigate the scene of the Nov. 8 three-alarm fire at the southwest corner of Hewitt and Oakes avenues in Everett in which one person was killed. The city set a March deadline for crews to finish demolishing the McCrossen Building, which is just west of Comcast Arena.
The demolition must be completed by March, city spokeswoman Kate Reardon said. Permits have been issued for a protective walkway in the area during the work.
The fire broke out in the evening at the McCrossen Building, just west of Comcast Arena on Hewitt Avenue. It housed apartments, a restaurant and shops.
Michael D. Beard, 61, died from smoke inhalation. Investigators believe the fire started in his room. His death was ruled an accident.
The extent of the damage to the building meant there was too little information available to pinpoint a cause. There were no indications the fire was suspicious.
It's too early to tell how traffic will be affected during work at the site, Reardon said.

What are meta-annotations ?
Meta-annotations, also known as annotation aliases are annotations that are replaced at compile time by other annotations (one meta-annotation is an alias for one or more annotations). This feature was added in Groovy 2.1.0. It can be used to dramatically reduce the verbosity of code involving multiple annotations.
Writing a meta-annotation
Let's start with a simple example. Imagine you have the @Service and @Transactional annotations and that you want to annotate a class with both:
|Code Block
@Service @Transactional class MyTransactionalService {}
What meta-annotations allows you is to replace the two annotations by a single one. First of all, you need to define your alias:
|Code Block
import groovy.transform.AnnotationCollector @Service @Transactional @AnnotationCollector public @interface TransactionalService { }
We are defining a @TransactionalService annotation here, a meta-annotation, that collects the @Service and @Transactional annotations. This is done by annotating the interface with @AnnotationCollector.
Understanding the behaviour
Before going further, we have to understand how meta-annotations work. First of all, Groovy supports both precompiled and source form meta-annotations. This means that your meta-annotation may be precompiled, or you can have it in the same source tree as the one you are currently compiling. Second, this is a Groovy feature only. There is no chance for you to annotate a Java class with a meta-annotation and hope it will do the same as in Groovy. Likewise, you cannot write a meta-annotation in Java: both the meta-annotation definition and usage have to be Groovy code.
When the Groovy compiler encounters a class annotated with a meta-annotation, it replaces it with the collected annotations. That is, in our previous example, that it will replace @TransactionalService with @Transactional and @Service. This happens during the semantic analysis phase, that is to say exactly when AST transformations are collected.
More than replacing the alias, a meta-annotation is capable of processing the collected annotations, including processing arguments. The default processor includes interesting behaviour with regards to annotation parameters.
Meta-annotation parameters
Here, we will imagine two annotations, each of them taking one argument:
|Code Block
@Timeout(after=100) @Dangerous(type="explosive")
And that you want create a meta-annotation named @Explosive:
|Code Block
@Timeout(after=100) @Dangerous(type="explosive") @AnnotationCollector public @interface Explosive {}
Then, by default, when the annotations are replaced, they will get the values as they were defined in the alias. More interesting, the alias supports overriding specific values:
|Code Block
@Explosive(after=0) class Bomb {}
Here, the value provided as a parameter to @Explosive overrides the one defined in the annotation.
Name clashes
What happens if two annotations define the same parameter name? The default processor will copy the annotation value to all annotations that accept this parameter. Take this example (you can run it in a Groovy console, for example):
|Code Block
import java.lang.annotation.Retention import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) public @interface Foo { String value() } @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) public @interface Bar { String value() } @Foo @Bar @groovy.transform.AnnotationCollector public @interface FooBar {} @Foo('a') @Bar('b') class Bob {} println Bob.class.getAnnotation(Foo) println Bob.class.getAnnotation(Bar) @FooBar('a') class Joe {} println Joe.class.getAnnotation(Foo) println Joe.class.getAnnotation(Bar)
this would print:
|Code Block
@Foo(value=a) @Bar(value=b) @Foo(value=a) @Bar(value=a)
which means that in the second case, the annotation value was copied in both annotations. But what happens if, for example, the annotation type for Foo is String, and the one for Bar is an integer? The current behaviour of the annotation is to fail at compile time. Does it mean that there's nothing more you can do? No. Meta-annotations support a special feature called a processor, that will help you deal with such problems.
Custom annotation processors
A custom annotation processor will let you choose how to explode a meta-annotation. The behaviour of the meta-annotation is, in this case, totally up to you. You can do whatever you want. Let's take a look, for example, on how @CompileDynamic is implemented in Groovy 2.1.0. @CompileDynamic is a meta-annotation that replaces itself with @CompileStatic(TypeCheckingMode.SKIP). The problem is that the default meta annotation processor doesn't support enums and we need to produce that enum. So, instead of defining @CompileDynamic like this:
|Code Block
@CompileStatic(TypeCheckingMode.SKIP) @AnnotationCollector public @interface CompileDynamic {}
We will define it like this:
|Code Block
@AnnotationCollector(processor = "org.codehaus.groovy.transform.CompileDynamicProcessor") public @interface CompileDynamic { }
The first thing you may notice is that our interface is no longer annotated with @CompileStatic. The reason for this is that we rely on the extra processor parameter, that references a class which will generate the annotation. And here is what this class looks like:
|Code Block
public class CompileDynamicProcessor extends AnnotationCollectorTransform { private static final ClassNode COMPILESTATIC_NODE = ClassHelper.make(CompileStatic.class); private static final ClassNode TYPECHECKINGMODE_NODE = ClassHelper.make(TypeCheckingMode.class); public List<AnnotationNode> visit(AnnotationNode collector, AnnotationNode aliasAnnotationUsage, AnnotatedNode aliasAnnotated, SourceUnit source) { AnnotationNode node = new AnnotationNode(COMPILESTATIC_NODE); node.addMember("value", new PropertyExpression(new ClassExpression(TYPECHECKINGMODE_NODE), "SKIP")); return Collections.singletonList(node); } }
Our custom processor extends the default one and overrides the public List<AnnotationNode> visit(AnnotationNode collector, AnnotationNode aliasAnnotationUsage, AnnotatedNode aliasAnnotated, SourceUnit source) method. This method is responsible for returning the list of annotations that will be added to the AST tree in place of the alias. The body of this method, hence, is only there to generate the appropriate AnnotationNode, nothing more! Of course, you can rely on the superclass to deal with arguments, for example.

About Eagles
Do a quick web search for 'the Eagles,' and you're likely to pull up information on a National Football League franchise based in Pennsylvania, the national symbol of the United States or even airline tickets. Then there's the American rock band formed in California in 1971, comprised of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Collectively, the aforementioned group is one of the most successful musical acts of the last few decades, identified by its country and folk sound blended with a traditional rock and roll style. The result has been five one number one singles, more than a dozen Top 40 hits and six number one albums. Add to the haul six Grammys and five American Music Awards, and the Eagles' accomplishments were more than enough to land them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Success came slow and steady for this group, which released a self-titled debut album in 1972. It produced the hits 'Take It Easy,' 'Witchy Woman,' and 'Peaceful Easy Feeling.' The freshman project also contained two of the band's most popular tracks, 'Desperado' and 'Tequila Sunrise.' Sophomore effort 'On the Border' followed in 1974, and the band gained more ground with 'Already Gone' and its first number one, 'Best of My Love.' But it was 1975 when the Eagles' popularity soared with the release of the album 'One of These Nights,' yielding three Top 10 singles, including 'Take It To the Limit.' The 1976 album 'Hotel California' was an even bigger success, selling over 16 million copies in the U.S. alone. The Eagles have broken up, reunited and toured intermittently since 1980. In 2007 they released 'Long Road Out of Eden,' their first studio album in 28 years, and toured to support the project the following year. The band is still set on making new music and will play the MGM Grand on November 17, 2012.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden—With two strong skates, Miami University's junior synchronized skating team finished in fifth place in the overall standings at the Leon Lurje Trophy Jan. 18-19. The RedHawks posted fifth-place scores in both the short program and free skate events, earning a combined score of 122.82.
With a clean skate to their long program themed "Dancing Dolls," the RedHawk junior team posted a season-best score of 85.98 in Sunday's free skate event. It is nearly 10 points better than their previous season high of 76.42 at the Dr. Richard Porter Classic in December. Miami notched a technical element score of 39.44, the second highest of any free skate program in the junior division, and posted a program component score of 46.54. The RedHawks' free skate score was a mere 0.63 points behind the fourth-best score.
Team Convivium, from the host country, won the Leon Lurje Trophy with a combined score of 156.45. They were followed by Synchroettes, the other U.S. team, with a score of 136.28. Sweden's Team Spirit (136.07) and Finland's Reflections (129.04) finished in third and fourth, respectively. Three teams from Finland—Fireblades (119.94), Chrystal Dreams (107.07) and Les Miracles (96.33)—followed Miami, while three teams from Sweden—Team Seaside (96.07), Team Rhapsody (87.52) and Team Moonlights (84.24)—rounded out the 11-team field.
Miami's junior team is off until the U.S. National Championships Feb. 27-March 1 in Colorado Springs, Colo. The RedHawk collegiate and senior teams are in action next weekend in their final competitions before nationals. Miami's collegiate team competes in the Midwestern Championships Jan. 25, while the senior team represents the United States at the Mozart Cup in Salzburg, Austria, Jan. 24-25.

Recent Stowe Area Reviews
Bliss at SML
This was my second stay at this unit. It exceeded our expectations. Everything about this unit is first class. I came with my wife and 2 children, 9 and 7. We all had a great time. This unit is world's better than studio units. It's HUGE! That extra space is priceless with 2 kids. The service at this hotel is soooooo friendly and attentive. The valet guys are great with kids. Having a glass of wine on that balcony looking at the sun coming down on the nose is spectacular. Make sure to do the pinnacle hike and hit up Piecasso on the mountain road for great food. Overall a great place and awesome value, compared to other units at this hotel!
Great accomodation at Stowe
Thanks Jamie, Your place at Stowe was terrific.... very beautiful studio with a convenient kitchen. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the first class facilities, crystal clear pool & hot tub, great workout gym & restaurants. Be sure to check out the Shelbourne Museum an hour away, it's an amazing collection of art, historic buildings and an old paddle boat from Lake Champlain. Vermont is an outstanding destination. Best meal of the trip was in S.Londonderry/ Solo Farm & Table. Linda from northern CA.
