|Vasubandhu's consciousness trilogy: a Yogacara Buddhist process idealism
|Johnson-Moxley, Melanie K. (Melanie Kay), 1967-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This work is a philosophical investigation into Vasubandhu's consciousness trilogy, comprised by the Trisvabhāva-Nirdeśa ("Instruction on the Threefold Own-State-of-Being,") and the Vijñaptimātra-Kārikas ("Verses on Consciousness-Occasion,") divided into the Viṃśika-Kārikas ("Twenty Verses") and the Triṃśika-Kārikas ("Thirty Verses.") Although early Indian Yogācāra Buddhism was once non-controversially described as a form of absolute ontological idealism, challengers have urged predominately psycho-epistemological readings of Yogācārin works. However, neither an exclusively metaphysical or exclusively epistemological reading is warranted; the more interesting and difficult case is that these themes are necessarily interwoven throughout the early Yogācāra canon, including the consciousness trilogy. While Vasubandhu's position in the trilogy is indeed idealist and monist, this does not entail a rejection of objectivity. Functions are substituted for substances in ontological discussions. The ālayavijñāna ("storehouse-consciousness") concept is developed so that it can serve the explanatory function of material cause. In this way much apparent logical tension is diffused, and a more complete picture of Vasubandhu's Yogācāra emerges.

Sediments along the Alaskan Coast
August 28, 2003
Even as summer wanes, snowmelt and glacial runoff swell the rivers along Alaska's southern coast. In this image, the Copper River (upper center) spills light grey sediments into the Gulf of Alaska. Upstream in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, glaciers grind bedrock into powder as they slowly move along mountain valleys. This fine sediment is easily carried by water, even if it is slow moving. Where the river meets the ocean, the sediment gradually disperses, and the water fades from bright turquoise to dark blue.
This image was taken on August 22, 2003 by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Terra satellite.

John McDonald on M&M: Red Sox 'all about having fun and being prepared to play'
|09.03.13 at 1:47 pm ET
New Red Sox utility infielder John McDonald joined Mut & Merloni on Tuesday afternoon to talk about his return to New England.
McDonald, like Lou Merloni a former Providence College star, is a Connecticut native who has a home in Scituate. That made his acquisition by the Red Sox even more enjoyable, as he went from the struggling Phillies to the first-place team in the American League East.
McDonald, familiar to most Sox fans for his seven-year stint with the Blue Jays that ended in 2011, has been traded four times this year. He started the calendar year with the Diamondbacks and bounced to the Pirates, Indians and Phillies before this past weekend's trade. In 15 major league seasons, he's hitting .235/.274/.327.
Due to the acquaintances he's made in his many travels, combined with the Red Sox' turnover from last season, McDonald said it's been a smooth transition to Boston.
"It makes it real easy to walk in and be a part of this group," McDonald said. "I played with Stephen Drew last year, I played with Craig Breslow. I've played against a lot of these guys. It's just a real familiar clubhouse. You get the sense right away that it's all about having fun and being prepared to play and win a ballgame. That's a great combination of things to have, and it's not like that on every team I've played with. These guys like to get after it. It's 1 o'clock right now, I'm standing outside of Fenway, and I get the feeling like most of the team's probably already in there right now."
McDonald, known more for his defense than his bat, is hitting just .111/186/.185 in 37 games this season.
"Sometimes when you're getting a lot more playing time and feeling in rhythm and looking good, playing good, then you feel like, hey, somebody might pick me up. The fact that I got picked up without seeing a whole lot of the field the last month, I was pretty excited about that," McDonald said. "It plays through your mind a little bit, but not right now. It's just kind of all I'm thinking about now is winning."
McDonald said he has a new appreciation for Dustin Pedroia now that he's on the same team.
"He raised my level of play when I was playing against him. I wanted him to hit the ball to me so I could make a play on him," McDonald said. "When we play against guys who play as hard as he does, in every pitch, you want to play up to that level, and you want to prove that you can play with him. Seeing that from when I was in Toronto playing against him, it's a whole different feeling now. You really have to get up to his level now, because you're on his team."

The method was flawless - the ice cream balls were easy to make and the coating cooked perfectly in the deep fryer. The only thing that didn't work for me in the recipe was the almonds. First, it says "slivered" in the ingredients but "ground" in the directions. I used sliced and crushed them up a bit. The flavor of them just seemed a bit out of place. I would try toasting them next time and then grinding them fine. Otherwise, a good recipe!

Pierce helps Celtics top slumping 76ers 109-101
More News from Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY— Paul Pierce had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Avery Bradley scored 22 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 109-101 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.
Led by Pierce, the Celtics controlled the game and used a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to seal the win. Last May, these two teams went to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. On Wednesday, the Sixers lost for the ninth time in 10 games and are well out of the playoff race.
Jrue Holiday had 18 points and 10 assists for the Sixers, and Thaddeus Young had 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook had 37 points and 10 rebounds, and Kevin Durant scored 26 as the Thunder held off a second-half charge to down the Los Angeles Lakers 122-105.
The Thunder led from start to finish, but had their 18-point lead whittled down to five midway through the fourth quarter.
Kobe Bryant ended up with 30 points after leaving the game with a right elbow injury in the first quarter. Steve Nash matched his season best with 20 points as the Lakers fell back below .500 after reaching the mark for the first time since December.
At Sacramento, California, Ty Lawson had 24 points and Danilo Gallinari added 23 as the Denver Nuggets won their sixth straight game 120-113 over the Sacramento Kings.
The deep and talented Nuggets used a 36-point third quarter to build a lead against the Kings that they never relinquished in winning their season-best third straight road game. They scored 70 second-half points when they shot nearly 64 percent.
The streaking Nuggets have won seven of eight games, including 11 in a row at home, where they own a 26-3 record, which ties Miami for the best mark in the NBA.
Kenneth Faried had 19 points and 12 rebounds, Andre Miller scored 16 and Kosta Koufos had 15 points and eight rebounds for Denver.

Big Boats MeanBig Docks
So there was this Miamian named José who thought that it would be a joy to buy a boat and take full advantage of South Florida's aquatic nature. He purchased a vessel and a trailer. On Saturday mornings, he figured, he'd hitch the trailer to the family SUV, drive to a local marina, slip the boat into the water, cruise around, get some sun, drown some bait, absorb the pleasures of the subtropics.
On the initial trip, José's trailer got a flat tire. He persevered, and the next weekend was able to get his boat into the water. But the motor failed, and he had to be towed to shore by the Coast Guard. So he took his boat out and shot it. Wait ... there is a happy ending and a point to the fate of hard-luck José. Instead of giving up, he realized he should've simply bought a decent boat in the first place.
Whatever frustrations might sometimes be involved in the life of a seaman, the fact is, especially here in Miami, a day on a bay or a jaunt up a waterway is inevitably worth the trouble. And you're less likely to end up signaling if you spend some time shopping for that new watercraft -- emphasis on "new." The rest of us will be at the Miami International Boat Show (a.k.a. The Greatest Boat Show in the World) for the sole purpose of fantasizing.
There's plenty to see: The boat show is really a bunch of shows packaged together. Heck, the Yacht & Brokerage Show has its own separate press kit! Within the sailboat section there's something called "Multihull Lagoon," which displays more catamarans than any other "one place on earth." Okay, right, they're not on earth, they're on water, but after 64 years, the five-day-long boat show should be familiar to all as something way more than the cause of major traffic jams.

Colts sign 7 players to futures contracts
Updated: January 7, 2013, 5:55 PM ETAssociated Press
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have signed seven players to futures contracts.
Two of Indy's seventh-round draft choices last year --offensive lineman Justin Anderson and quarterback Chandler Harnish, the last pick in the draft -- were re-signed.
The other players Indy signed are cornerback Marshay Green, tight end Dominique Jones, linebacker Shawn Loiseau, running back Davin Meggett and linebacker Monte Simmons. All of those players except Anderson also were on Indy's practice ...

Researchers Robert Hoare (Landcare Research, New Zealand) and Erik van Nieukerken (Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Netherlands) have named new moths after the Minotaur of Greek mythology and the legendary Italian philanderer Giacomo Casanova in a study of the evolution of southern pigmy moths. The study was published in the open access journal ZooKeys.
The tiny moths, with wingspans of 3 to 8 millimetres, belong to a very old group (the family Nepticulidae), which dates back more than 110 million years to the time of the dinosaurs. Australian pigmy moths are particularly diverse and unusual, and one group (genus Pectinivalva, 'ancient pigmy moths') has until now only been reported from that continent, where over 140 species are known.
Each species of pigmy moth is associated with one or a few related species of plant on which they lay their eggs. Caterpillars make a mine inside the leaf, the shape of the mine often being characteristic of the species that made it.
By reconstructing the evolution of the ancient pigmy moths, Hoare and van Nieukerken have shown that the original host of the group was probably a rainforest plant of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae). As Australia dried out from about 15 million years ago, the rainforest was greatly reduced in extent, and the myrtle family came to dominate the vegetation of the arid interior, with the now familiar eucalyptus trees becoming especially diverse and abundant. The ancient pigmy moths in their turn transferred to the newly dominant host-plants, and now most known species of '/>"/>

Everything changed for Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, when he sold his services to Mab, Queen of the Fairies, to save his daughter. He's been not quite dead, trapped in Fairy politics and sent on a wide variety of suicide missions. That was the easy part. Nicodemus, Knight of the Blackened Denarius and one of the cruelest enemies Dresden has ever faced is back in town, planning a major heist. And Harry's stuck working for him.
By turns Skin Game by Jim Butcher is a ripping heist novel, a hilariously goofy urban fantasy, with enough touching moments to give real weight. Butcher has won the ability to write gripping, fun and magical crime novels, and he's fought for that ability in this very series. It's not recommended to start with Skin Game if you're going to read the Dresden Files series because too much of the book is dependent on things that have come before. I don't recommend beginning at the first book either, because Butcher didn't really find his footing until the third. Start with the third book, Grave Peril, because the Dresden Files are a journey. Characters grow, wrestle with themselves, face up to things they don't want to deal with. There's a whole lot Dresden doesn't want to deal with, from dragging his friends into danger to stronger and stronger deals with dangerous and inhuman powers. Life has a tendency to get a whole lot bigger than the people living in the Dresdenverse.
If this were a movie, it would be a summer tent pole, a certified blockbuster. It has huge, explosive action, romance, comedy, true love, and cute animals. There are double and triple crosses and rivalries that zoom along. It would be better than anything you're going to see in the theater this year. But it gets even better if you haven't read the rest of the Dresden Files, because now you have an entire book series that's better than anything you're going to see in the theater, and it's still building up to even bigger things.

When the sister of the bride meets the brother of the groom, sparks fly in It Happened One Wedding by Julie James. While Sidney helps her sister through a whirlwind of wedding planning, she can't help but cross paths with Vaughn, who is exactly the kind of man she doesn't want to date. James is one of the most talented writers in contemporary romance today, and her writing sparkles as these two verbally spar like Hepburn and Tracy.
Author Kristen Ashley has built a huge readership over the past two years. Fans know that her novels will have plenty of steamy romance, hilarious hijinks and tough alpha heroes. In Rock Chick, Indy Savage finds herself in some trouble when someone shoots at her and one of her employees. She needs a place to lay low for a while, so she crashes at her best friend's brother's apartment. When Lee comes home early, he assesses the situation and decides to mobilize the guys from his private investigation firm to get Indy out of trouble. Indy has been in love with Lee Nightingale since he held her hand at her mother's memorial service when she was five years old, and she's shocked when he suddenly makes it clear that he wants them to be together. Rock Chick is the first in Ashley's enormously popular Rock Chick series, originally published in e-book form. Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series will fall in love with Ashley's Rock Chicks!

In Allison Parr's Imaginary Lines, Tamar Rosenfeld fell in love with Abraham Krasner on the dance floor at his bar mitzvah, but she kept her crush a secret through their teenage years. She finally confessed her feelings to him when they were in college...and it didn't go well. She ignored him for several years, hoping her humiliation would fade. (It hasn't.) When she moves to New York City for a new job as a sports reporter, Tamar finds herself at odds with Abe, who is now a linebacker for the New York Leopards. Tamar doesn't count on Abe's sudden insistence that they are meant to be together. This is a great sports romance that will also appeal to fans of the new adult genre. Abe seems laid back, but his quiet strength will sweep readers away along with Tamar. Parr, who has written two previous novels about Abe's teammates, is a strong new voice in contemporary romance.
Maryland author Christi Barth transports readers to the Finger Lakes region in upstate New York in Up to Me. Ella Mayhew's entire life has revolved around her family's resort. It's entirely out of character when she finds herself falling for Gray Locke, a guest at Mayhew Manor. But Gray has a secret that could spell disaster for their budding romance — he is really there to assess the business as an investment for a company that wants to buy it out. Add to the mix a cast of quirky locals, all of whom are deeply invested in Ella's happiness, and you have a funny, sweet romance that's the perfect companion for a lazy summer afternoon.

On July 26, the Romance Writers of America (RWA) closed their annual conference with a gala event where they honored writers among their ranks for their outstanding work. The RITA Awards are given for distinction in romance fiction.
The Best First Book RITA went to Laura Drake, who gave up her job as a corporate CFO to pursue a career in writing. Her journey to success wasn't an easy one. It took her 15 years to sell a book, so receiving the award and a hug from none other than Nora Roberts made the victory even sweeter. Her novel The Sweet Spot is the story of a couple coming back together after their life and marriage are torn apart by tragedy.
Sarah MacLean won her second RITA award for her Rules of Scoundrels series. This year, she won the coveted trophy for No Good Duke Goes Unpunished, which I wrote about on Between the Covers earlier this year. The winner in the Paranormal Romance category is Susanna Kearsley for The Firebird. Kearsley skillfully blends history, the paranormal and romance in this novel. Nicola, a woman who secretly has the ability to read past events by touching artifacts, finds herself on a journey through Russia to prove the authenticity of a small wooden bird called the Firebird.
We've made this list of these winners and many more, so you can read the best romances of the year!
Ah, summer. That time of year when the fridge is covered in cream-colored envelopes with fancy fonts. It's wedding season, and if you're spending all your time buying gifts from registries and listening to a bridal march for what feels like the 100th time this summer, why not take a break from all those taffeta bridesmaids dresses and have yourself a little vacation to southeastern France in Ellen Sussman's new book A Wedding in Provence?
Olivia and Brody are excited to spend their wedding weekend at a charming B&B owned by their friends in Provence. In their 50s, they are optimistic at their second chance at a loving marriage. Their family and friends are in attendance, ready to celebrate with them. However, even in this idyllic setting, old family jealousies and new problems threaten to overturn the joy of their wedding weekend. Olivia's daughters, Nell and Carly, are coming from two disastrously different romantic situations: Carly's longtime boyfriend has decided to skip the wedding altogether, and Nell, mourning the loss of her dead boyfriend, picks up her seatmate on the plane to attend the wedding with her.
Carly and Nell are not the only ones with secrets to keep. Emily and Sebastien, the owners of the B&B, are weathering a difficult time in their marriage, Brody's father has just left his mother after 55 years, and then there's wild card best man Jake, who seems harmless, but has his own hidden agenda.
Fans of romances with an edge and of Sussman's other novels, such as French Lessons or The Paradise Guest House, will find this novel a summer soap opera to read while waiting for the bridal party to have their photos taken and cocktail hour to begin.
2013 was a banner year for Rainbow Rowell, having published two major hits: the popular Fangirl and the critically lauded Eleanor and Park, which won a Michael L. Printz Honor for Excellence in Young Adult Fiction. Rowell fans can rejoice as her hotly anticipated adult novel, Landline, hits BCPL's shelves today.
Georgie McCool is on the verge of a major breakthrough in her career. She and her writing partner have a huge meeting with a studio executive the day after Christmas to pitch their very own TV show. It's everything she's ever dreamed of, but the meeting means her family won't be able to go to Omaha to visit her mother-in-law. Georgie's husband, Neal, decides to take their daughters anyway, leaving Georgie alone on Christmas to contemplate their marriage, her career and how her marriage has turned into something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She goes to her mother's house and finds an old-fashioned rotary phone in her childhood bedroom and uses it to call Neal in Nebraska. Neal answers, but not her husband of 14 years; it's Neal of 1998, right before he is about to propose, and suddenly Georgie wonders if she's destined to reroute their shared history by talking him out of their marriage before it even begins.
In Landline, unlike Rowell's other novels, the main relationship isn't a burgeoning romance: It's a marriage of 14 years. There's too much at stake to let it falter, and the tension between Georgie and the past and present Neals will keep readers itching to skip to the last page to see how it all turns out. There is a lot to laugh about in the book as well: funny, relatable characters; a pug in labor and tons of pop culture references. Landline is a winner for a great summer read, especially if you recognize the phone on the cover as something you had in your own bedroom (or just begged your parents for when you were in junior high).
Natalie Baszile tackles several tough topics in her novel Queen Sugar. Protagonist Charley, a single mother, has to create a whole new life for herself as a black woman in rural Louisiana. She has to deal with the loss of loved ones, confront prejudice and raise a strong, proud daughter. It is only with the help of her grandmother, Miss Honey, that she is even able to attempt this new beginning.
After Charley's father passed away, she was surprised to learn that he had left her a sugar cane plantation in Louisiana. She'd always considered herself a city girl from California, but it had been four years since her husband passed away, and she and her 11-year-old daughter Micah were in need of a change.
When Charley and Micah arrive in Louisiana, they realized that the plantation manager had given up long ago and the fields were in dire need of a green thumb. Feeling overwhelmed, Charley immediately begins to try to turn things around. She had moved Micah against her will and sunk all of her savings into a long shot at a new life, but Charley quickly learns that this new life doesn't come with the promise of simplicity. More than one curve ball is thrown her way, but Charley is determined to make her father proud and show Micah that perseverance is the key to reaching a goal.
Baszile creates rich characters whose relationships feel warm and authentic. It's the combination of these character interactions and the vivid descriptions of the landscape that bring this book alive. Though the novel is more contemporary in content, I would recommend it to those who liked The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.
Damaris Chance feels no compulsion to marry but instead longs for a cottage by the sea. Freddy Monkton-Coombes is enjoying the rewards of his rakish ways, which will be severely curtailed if his mother has anything to say about it. In The Winter Bride, Annie Gracie revisits the Chance sisters and shares the stories of this magnetic and damaged duo.
Damaris Chance's unhappy past involves a blackguard sea captain who hurt her so deeply that marriage is no longer an appealing option. But her guardian, Lady Beatrice, convinces her to make her debut and enjoy a season of lighthearted fun. Meanwhile, Freddy's season is filled with all the single ladies tracking his every move and a mother who won't stop nagging about marriage. He is also determined to honor his promise to his friend Max to watch out for the Chance sisters. When Freddy discovers Damaris roaming through unsavory parts of town at all hours of the night, he demands to know her secret.
Damaris has been surreptitiously selling her painted pottery in an effort to secure her dream cottage. While not a scandalous secret, during the course of their conversation, the two reach a most unorthodox decision and agree to an arranged marriage. Freddy can continue his womanizing ways, and Damaris will have her cottage. As the two spend more time together during their "engagement," they share confidences and dreams. Is marriage really such a bad thing after all? Gracie continues her Chance Sisters series with another charming romance centered by a charismatic couple while positioning the players to be featured in the next two seasons. Spring and summer can't come soon enough!

Leila Meacham's Somerset is a stirring family saga covering 150 years in the lives of the Toliver and Warwick families who are looking to make their way in the newly formed communities in Texas. Simon Toliver is determined to free himself from his South Carolina family and build his dream plantation in Texas. He is forced into a relationship with Jessica Wyndham, whose abolitionist leanings have made her a persona non grata in South Carolina. The two begin a perilous journey that will determine their future. Meacham's story begins in the antebellum period as the plantation begins to grow and prosper, but threats of war are on the horizon. Simon and Jessica must find a way to protect their homes and families. Meacham creates memorable characters like Jessica's best friend Tippy, a slave whom Jessica is determined to free.
Meacham wrote this novel as prequel to her first novel, Roses. Roses covers the history of the Somerset plantation from the years 1914 through 1985, introducing readers to the heirs of the Toliver and Warwick fortunes. Somerset begins in 1835 and sets the stage for all that is to come.
Leila Meacham is a new heavy hitter in the family saga, and Somerset is no exception. Grand and sweeping, it is full of tidbits of Texas history and rich with compelling characters that bring plenty of drama, action and romance. Teresa DeBerry reads the novel on the audio recording with such an authentic Texan drawl that the reader will be transported directly to the antebellum south. Fans of Belva Plain or Barbara Taylor Bradford are sure to find something to love in this novel.

Story and photos by NIK NAIZI HUSIN
The usual eight-day rafting expedition down Sungai Pahang was reduced to five days but the over 1,000 adults and children were still able to feast their eyes on beautiful scenery as they traversed down the river and enjoyed traditional food and culture when they stopped overnight at selected villages.
Previously, the expedition took off from Sungai Jelai in Lipis, as this place is popularly known as the starting point of Sungai Pahang. But this year, the journey began at Lurah Semantan in Temerloh.
The expedition provided participants with fun and a little drama, especially for one team that lost control of its raft and struck a bridge pillar near Temerloh. They continued their journey on another raft after they were rescued.
Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who flagged-off the participants, also tried his hand at rafting. On board the bamboo raft with him was his wife Tengku Puan Pahang Tengku Azizah Maimunah Iskandariah Sultan Iskandar.
Tengku Azizah, who spent much of her time capturing photographs of the landscape from the raft as it went down the river, also tried her hand at rowing.
"This main source of water for the people should be protected from the threat of toxic and other harmful waste.
"All parties must work together and help the authorities safeguard our rivers and Sungai Pahang is no exception," he said.
When the expedition stopped at Kampung Serengkam, Maran, for the night, the participants were joined by Sultan Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah.
Sultan Ahmad flagged-off the participants early the next morning in the next stage of the expedition which took them to Kampung Ganchong in Pekan.
Besides locals, the expedition attracted participation from government agencies, private firms, non-governmental organisations, students and foreigners.
At the closing ceremony held at the royal town of Pekan, Tengku Azizah gave out awards in several categories.
While the Anugerah Tok Bahaman (for overall best raft) was won by Pasukan Gerak Am Briged Tenggara, Institut Latihan Perindustrian Kuantan won the Anugerah Mat Kilau (best student participation), Kampung Serengkam took the Anugerah Wali Nong Sari (best stop station) and Kampung Chenor was awarded the Anugerah Dulang Beradat (best village food).
Other awards included Anugerah Teja (best decorated raft), Anugerah Keringat Emas (best 15 rafters) and Anugerah Gegak Gempita (most happening stop station).

|Stewart loses co-primary sponsor Office Depot
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 02 September 2012 15:16
The news came from team spokesman Mike Arning on Sunday, shortly before the defending Sprint Cup champion started from the pole in the NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Mobil 1 is set to return as a primary backer for about half the races next year, but Stewart will have to find someone to pick up the rest of the tab for his No. 14 car. The three-time Cup champion also is searching for sponsorship on Stewart-Haas Racing's second car, the No. 39 machine driven by Ryan Newman. The U.S. Army is dropping out.
Office Depot praised Stewart but says it's leaving NASCAR because of ``the changing business landscape.''

She's 'Plump'? Kate Middleton Appears Blown up on Commemorative Coin
Critics are screaming "off with their heads" at Britain's Royal Mint's renderings of Kate Middleton and Prince William on a commemorative wedding coin. Some observers charge that it makes the princess-to-be look "plump" and has her royal fiance sporting "Elvis" hair.
That's not all: UK newspapers are suggesting Middleton's visage looks like she had her lips inflated and one royal watcher compared Prince William's minted resemblance to former Vice President Al Gore.
The Daily Mail notes that while the couple's official Mario Testino engagement photos were tastefully airbrushed, the coins have rendered the couple unrecognizable. Middleton looks "masculine" while her upper lip has been "plumped beyond" recognition.
The tabloid gives the mint kudos for discreetly disguising the prince's thinning hair, but complains his "Adam's apple matches the size of his nose." Ouch!
The Mirror complained that Middleton looks "chunkier and older" on the coin and said that while Prince William came out handsomer than his future bride, "he has been engraved with what seems to be an Elvis Presley quiff."
Meanwhile, Majesty magazine editor Ingrid Seward was the most incensed. "The coin is of historical importance, to get it so wrong seems ridiculous," she told Britain's Sky News.
The special design received approval from both Prince William and Queen Elizabeth II, the AP reports. The coins, which range in price from $16 to $2,450 depending on the metals, underwent an "rigorous approval process" before being created by an in-house design team based on images of the couple at a polo match, the mint told the wire service.

Why do the "ROYALS" have to be on a coin? Most likely the British taxpayer has to pay for this. Give me a break.
- Thursday 23 December
The first thing I thought was Pedephile. Of all the pics and footage I've seen of Kate she has 'older' looking features. This minting looks likes she's 12. The Prince William engraving makes him look 40. I guess...if Prince William and Queen Elizabeth II said "OK" to these they must be trying to preserve a moment in time that they aren't at yet...maybe Kate's pregnant and we'll all remember her a little more plump in the wedding pictures!!

Jones comments not taken well
Track and field Olympian Lolo Jones is trying to make it in the world of bobsledding, and she's finding out the hard way how little the winter sport pays.
Looking for more scoops on your favorite New England sports teams? Check out NESN.
Jones voiced her displeasure with the $741.84 check she received from the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation in a Vine video posted Monday. That's a pretty small pay day for seven months of work, but one of the most decorated bobsledders of all time is not exactly sympathetic to her plight.
"It wasn't taken very well," Olympic gold medalist Steven Holcomb told USA Today. "People were really kind of insulted. You just made $741, more than most athletes in the sport. So what are you complaining about?
"The way it came across to a lot of the athletes here was kind of snobby because she's one of the most well-known athletes in the world and she's making pretty good money in endorsements [as a two-time Olympic hurdler]. And to basically turn around and slap us in the face because you didn't make any money this year in bobsledding while taking money from other athletes? She slapped pretty much every athlete in the U.S. federation in the face. That was the general consensus."

Capitol, Centcom extend aid to Pablo victims in Cebu
FINANCIAL and material assistance were provided yesterday by Capitol officials in three southern Cebu towns that were hit hardest by typhoon Pablo two weeks ago.
Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia visited families displaced by Pablo in the towns of Boljoon, Santander, and Samboan with her contingent of political allies headed by her father, Deputy House Speaker Pablo Garcia.
About 177 houses were devastated by Pablo in the three towns with Samboan receiving the brunt of the devastation with 114 houses destroyed followed by 51 houses in Santander and 12 in Boljoon.
Those who lost their homes were given P3,000 each while each of the 410 residents whose houses were damages received P1,000 each in financial aid.
In Boljoon, Governor Garcia also gave P10,000 to Teresita Pila, the daughter of 50-year-old Arlenda who died after being hit by a fallen tree last Dec. 4.
The elder Garcia also pledged to finance the restoration of Boljoon's baywalk parkcoincidentally named "Pablo."
The Garcias will also help repair the roofing of Samboan's municipal gym.Boljoon Mayor Teresita Celis thanked the Garcias for the support.
Santander and Samboan Mayors Marilyn Wenceslao and Raymond Joseph Calderon also provided housing materials to the victims.
For their part, the Central Command (Centcom) said they will hold a gift-giving activity to typhoon Pablo victims at their grandstand and parade grounds at 4 p.m today.
Centcom spokesman Lt. Mark Enriquez said the activity is in line with the directive of President Beningo Aquino III for government agencies to tone down their Christmas celebrations or hold fund-raising events for typhoon Pablo victims in Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental.
Enriquez said the Centcom will also turn over wheelchairs to beneficiaries.
"A simple yet meaningful" Christmas party will also be held for all organic personnel and their families," he said.
In the Davao region, the death toll caused by the onslaught of typhoon "Pablo" breached the 1,000 mark, with over 800 persons still missing, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said yesterday.
In its latest report, the NDRRMC said 1,020 bodies were recovered from the areas ravaged by the killer typhoon, most of them from the hardest-hit provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental.
About 844 persons were still unaccounted for while 2,662 were injured during the flashfloods, landslides and other events triggered by the typhoon.
Four Cebuana friends took a leave of absence from their work and raised P170,000 in cash from friends and relatives for Pablo victims in Baganga town, Davao Oriental which had been rendered inaccessible after the main Caraga bridge collapsed.
The group had to fly to Davao City at dawn, buy relief goods, hire a truck to make the six-hour road trip, cross a river no longer passable by bridge, and ride a multi-cab to reach Baganga by nightfall. Correspondent Carmel Loise Matus with Senior Reporter Marian Z. Codilla and Inquirer reports

The Australian Graphic Supply Collective: Tuts and Type
In my journey towards becoming somewhat of a graphic designer, I've gone through many bouts of chocolate-fueled rage, cursing when I can't figure out how to line up my beziers correctly, or how exactly to create a seamless repeat pattern. Although there are loads of tutorials online, the Australia Graphic Supply Company is set to become the "square one" learning source for budding designers and typographers of all types (pun not intended).
Self-described "pixel-wranglers," Dave and Laura Coleman are a husband-and-wife team working out of Sydney, Australia, focusing on a wide range of visual services from photography and branding to illustration and tattoo design. While Laura mostly manages operations & finances, Dave handles the creative side of their shared business–and both of them share a serious passion for design, photography and lettering.
They host a selection of their own client work on their website, but the primary focus is on their community and growing tutorial section. What's neat to see is that their tutorial aesthetic matches up perfectly with that of their professional projects–the aim is clearly to give the viewer proper insight into the process of creating high-quality design and typography while simplifying the process down to layman's terms.
One of my favorite tutorials was Creating a Hand-Lettered Logotype from Beginning to End–I've included some screenshots and a video below.
Dave and Laura were briefly living and working abroad in Oviedo, Spain, but are now in the process of returning to their home base in Sydney. To follow along with their adventures, check out their travel blog.
I've also included a couple links to my other favorite tutorials below:
No Pain, No Grain (How to Create a Seamless Vector Wood Grain Pattern)
So What's the Big Deal with Horizontal & Vertical Bezier Handles Anyway?
I can't wait for more exciting tutorials and developments from the AGSC. Thanks so much to Dave and Laura for sharing their knowledge with us! Follow along with them on theirwebsite, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Re: Halloween Hurricane
Having worked in Atlantic City for 18 years in one of the casinos, they are the safest place to shelter and they are on the boardwalk and beach. Sometimes the street ends flood due to the storm sewers being long pipes from street ends buried under the sand reaching out into he ocean. The governor was probably misinformed
The problem with nor'easter s and hurricanes for those of us on the east coast is wind and water
Water is divided into storm surge., usually felt in the northern quadrants of the onshore flow of a hurricane. And flooding. Most people who have never lived on a barrier island like Atlantic City, most Nj seashore communities, NC islands. Don't understand the true ways the danger exists for flooding. It does not come from the ocean side.
A barrier island has a by or back bay behind it with an inlet somewhere. When a hurricane rides up the coast it's head flows NE winds pushing we're in the inlet. High tide occurs but the water cannot come out because of wind direction, and the next high tide comes into the back by on top of he previous one, a hurricane moves fast so this Galen's once, while a northeaster happens for 2-3 days thus 4-6 high tides on top of each other. Islands lie Atlantic City do not loos from the ocean side rather they flood from the bayside. Moving into the back or center of the island will not be prudent. Moving back just far nough o beat the storm surge is best.
Atlantic city is a large island called Absecon island and consists of 4 cities. AC, Ventnor, Margate, and Longport. i think the highest ground point s 10. Ft above sea level
