Released On: March 14, 2003
The $7.48 million purchase agreement is the first stage toward ownership of the Naches Hydroelectric Project located on the Wapatox Canal, adjacent to U.S. Highway 12. The agreement acquires the water right previously owned by PacifiCorp which operated the Naches and Naches Drop hydroelectric plants.
Reclamation will continue to honor irrigation contracts with the Wapatox Ditch Company, and Lower Wapatox Ditch Company which date back to the early 1900s.
"This effort involved the hard work of many people within Reclamation and PacifiCorp," said Jim Esget, Yakima River Basin water enhancement project manager for the Bureau of Reclamation. "Our objective throughout all our negotiations has been to provide a successful outcome for all parties, but ultimately to ensure that endangered fish would have a better chance of survival."
About 250,000 acre-feet will be left in the Naches River to improve habitat for migratory fish annually.
Ecology has also been an excellent partner in the project, said Esget. They are working to reimburse Reclamation $1 million toward the acquisition price.
The closure of the power facilities will help support Reclamation's Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Program. For the 2003 irrigation season a small portion of the canal water will be used to temporarily run the turbine generator in order to help dissipate the energy of the water in the canal as it returns to the river.
At the end of the season, PacifiCorp will remove the power transformers, making it impossible to generate at the Naches Project any longer," Esget said.
In the fall, Reclamation and PacifiCorp will enter into the second-stage of the agreement which will involve the sale of property and transfer of other associated assets. About that time, PacifiCorp will make modifications to the adjacent substation to move controls currently housed in the Naches Plant powerhouse into the switchyard.
PacifiCorp, which serves customers in the Yakima Valley as Pacific Power, will continue to serve Naches-area residences and business with electric service from the Naches substation. The company serves 1.5 million customers in six Western states as Pacific Power and Utah Power.
The Bureau of Reclamation, has as its mission to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.

The Spectator
Lawrence Garner will join a panel discussion Wednesday, August 29 that will look at municipal governance in Annapolis County. The 7 p.m. meeting, to be held at the Lion's Hall on Bridge Street, will deal with issue of redundancies and duplication of services among the county and three towns and will be moderated by Dr. Peter Nicholson.
Garner moved to Annapolis County in 2001 after his family bought a local toy manufacturer with an international clientele. He joins a panel of county residents who have been looking at the way we are now governed, have some ideas to share, and want to hear yours. With municipal elections set for October 20, this is a timely public event.
Nicholson has served in numerous posts in government, business, science, and higher education, including Deputy Chief of Staff, Policy, in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada. Along with Dr. Nicholson and Mr. Garner is Stephen Hawboldt, retired executive director of the Clean Annapolis River Project (CARP) and a columnist for The Annapolis County Spectator who has written about this subject. A fourth panelist is yet to be confirmed.
"When we talk with each other, we discover what it is we like about where we live, where we have set down roots. We discover how we are the same, how we are different, how we see our future, and what change is needed to move toward our goals," say forum organizers Heather LeBlanc, Granville Ferry and Anne Crossman, Centrelea.

hey everyone i need some help!!!! i have permission to fish a pond at one of my friends house. its about a 4 - 5 acre pond and i have fished it for 8+ yrs. and just this year i have noticed the pretty dark water has turned a funky green color. i have always caught bass and might i add very big bass out of this pond with pretty dark green colors for years. so this year i dont catch no where near as many fish maybe 2-3 when i go. and i used to catch anywhere from 10-30. and now they are all almost solid white like they have lost their color if anyone has any ideas on what might have happened please share ideas that you have!!! thanks
If you live near a college or game commision they will problem be able to test the water to see if it has been over run by plants or chemicals.

Mentally disabled adults rescued from Philly basement
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The landlord of the apartment building at first thought a circuit breaker had tripped when he went to the basement Saturday and found all the lights were out. Then he realized all six bulbs had been removed, and he heard dogs barking inside a boiler room, its door chained shut.
He removed the chain, stepped into the dank, foul-smelling room and lifted a pile of blankets. Several sets of human eyes stared back at him.
Turgut Gozleveli had stumbled upon four mentally disabled adults, all weak and malnourished, and one chained to the boiler.
He may have also stumbled upon a vast scheme - stretching from Philadelphia to Norfolk, Va.; West Palm Beach, Fla., and Texas – to steal the Social Security disability checks of defenseless and vulnerable people, authorities said.
Philadelphia police on Saturday arrested three adults staying in an apartment upstairs, including the person accused of being the ringleader, Linda Ann Weston, who had been convicted of murder in a 1981 starvation death.
Detectives also found dozens of ID cards, power-of-attorney forms and other documents in the apartment, suggesting the theft scheme involved more than just the four captives.
"Without a doubt. This is just the beginning of this investigation," Lt. Ray Evers said Monday. "We think she's been doing this for quite some time."
How long, how much money the scheme brought in, how the disabled were deceived and how many people in all were victimized are still unclear, investigators said. The FBI has joined the investigation.
Weston, 51, was charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment and other offenses, with bail set at $2.5 million. Also arrested and jailed were the man she described as her boyfriend, 50-year-old Eddie "the Reverend Ed" Wright, and 47-year-old Gregory Thomas.
"Talk about preying on the weak and weary," Evers said. "You can't get any lower than this person."
As of Monday, the defendants did not appear to have lawyers. They couldn't be reached for contact in jail.
The victims, a woman and three men, were found in a crawlspace that reeked of urine and was too shallow for an adult to stand up. There were mattresses and blankets, but the only food found was a container of orange juice. The adults shared their space with three dogs.
Gozleveli called police, suspecting they were squatters, then watched as officers and ambulance workers helped them up the steps to the street in a working-class section of the city's Tacony neighborhood.
The victims, ages 29 to 41, had the mental capacity of 10-year-olds, along with some physical disabilities, authorities said. One could barely see.

Written by Col. Tom Snodgrass (Ret.)
Obamacare was always a stalking horse for single-payer governmental healthcare
By Col. Tom Snodgrass (Ret.), Right Side News
To simplify a very complicated subject, I've condensed my thoughts into a succinct numerical, point-by-point, outline format.
1. President Barack Obama is on record telling the radical SEIU membership that he favored eventually instituting "single-payer" government healthcare, but he acknowledged that single-payer healthcare could not be achieved in one step because too many strong political forces opposed it. Obama stated that governmental single-payer would have to be achieved in incremental steps.
2. Obamacare was concocted as the first incremental, stalking horse step toward a governmental single-payer plan. Obamacare was designed to ultimately fail in order to create a crisis that set the stage for adoption of government-controlled, single-payer healthcare. Obama's scheme envisioned governmental single-payer healthcare coming into being after the existing private healthcare insurance market was destroyed by a chaotic rollout of Obamacare. The mechanism that is a key aspect of the chaotic rollout currently destroying private healthcare insurance is federal regulatory power that causes the discontinuation of existing private policies by imposing new, high-priced, frivolous requirements (e.g., maternity coverage for young men and old women) that were not in existing plans.
3. Obama sold his Obamacare to the American people with the oft-repeated lies: "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what." These lies were central to Obama's secret scheme because he wanted to dispel any public apprehension and create the false impression that the transition to Obamacare would be uneventful and painless.
4. Simply stated, Obama's strategy was to make it impossible for the existing private healthcare policies to continue with Obamacare implementing regulations that piled on so many new, costly requirements for medical policies that the private insurance companies had no choice but to cancel existing policies and reissue them at much greater cost with all the Obamacare-mandated expensive and unnecessary bells and whistles.
5. The next step in Obama's nefarious subterfuge of cancelling existing policies, after promising the American people just the opposite, was to cast the blame on the private insurance companies for the cancellations. In spite of the fact that the policy cancellations were mandated by the Obama regime's government regulations imposed on the private insurance companies, Obama has gone back to the standard Obama playbook and is accusing "bad apple insurance companies" of the responsibility for the public losing their health insurance.
6. But Obama's strategy is not working out as planned. The reason why Obama's scheme is currently unraveling is the failure of the Obamacare enrollment web site. (The obvious reason for the web site failure is Obama's crony socialism of awarding a no-bid contract to the incompetent computer firm that employed as VP Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate and sister in the black alumni association. This inept company also contributed substantially to Obama's election campaign, but that is another story.) The Obamacare web site failure has had consequences that were totally unforeseen by Obama because it has focused public attention on government incompetence, rather than on the "greedy" private insurance companies and their money-grubbing cancellations of public's health policies as Obama planned.
7. Obama and his regime accomplices had counted on a smooth implementation of Obamacare, followed by the sudden cancellations of private policies that the Obama regime would attribute to the greed of the rich insurance moguls. The regime Obamistas are currently attempting to denounce the insurance companies' avarice as the cause for the American people losing their health coverage, but much to their dismay the uproar caused by Obamacare Internet failure has unexpectedly put the ineptitude of Obama's management abilities in the spotlight.
8. The regime is desperately attempting to refocus the hot arc light of negative publicity onto the private insurance industry, but the unexpected display of Obama's incompetence has put squarely in public's crosshairs the discovery of Obama's egregious lies that promised no change for those who are happy with their healthcare.
9. The widespread public awareness of the monumental dishonesty involved in Obama's 30+ public assertions that Obamacare would have no effect on Americans who didn't want to change their healthcare has caused a sea change in public approval of both Obama and Obamacare. Public anger at being so blatantly lied to has made it all but impossible for the Obamaton media shills to provide the usual cover that they do for Obama's scandals. And Obama's insincere and incomplete apology on Thursday to NBC News is not likely to fool angry Americans who are having their personal lives negatively altered by Obamacare.
10. The most far-reaching consequences of the web site failure and the unveiling of Obama's flagrant deceit is that the American people's confidence in Obama and the competence of government has been shaken to the point that it could derail Obama's planned next move to push for government-controlled, single-payer healthcare. At this point, with the people up in arms about losing their medical coverage, Obama's original plan envisioned the public universally blaming the greedy private insurance industry for the debacle. Under these circumstances Obama believed that Americans would readily accept the big government solution of single-payer healthcare. However, that solution is going to be a tough sell in view of the demonstrated government incompetence and Obama's outrageous mendacity.
11. As an aside, the Democrat senators who are vulnerable in the 2014 election are clamoring that they didn't know people were going to lose their medical coverage as a result of Obamacare and that they are blameless because they were ignorant of these consequences. Their pleas of innocence are amusing because they are as dishonest as Obama's promises of uninterrupted healthcare for those Americans who wanted no policy change. These senators are lying because Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) exactly predicted the healthcare policy cancelling consequences of Obamacare, and he introduced a bill in September 2010 that would have precluded such cancellations. The Senate Democrats accused Enzi of "fear mongering," and every Democrat in the Senate voted against Enzi's legislation! So much for their being innocent of blame!
Democrats cannot be trusted to safeguard the American people's healthcare interests. Period.

There has been a lot of debate the past couple days, ever since Lindros announced his retirement, on whether he should be elected into the Hall of fame.
Initially I said no fucking way, and most of the "experts" were saying yes he should be.....and I'm saying are they fricken serious?????
But upon closer look at some of the people already in the Hall, and comparing statistics...I'm starting to change my opinion. Here is a comparison of a couple H o F's and Lindros:
Lindros.....760 gp 372g 493a 865pts.......1 Hart trophy, 1 Lester Pearson award, 6 all-star appearances.....2 Canada Cups, 3 olympics (1 gold, 1 silver)
Cam Neely......726gp 395g 299a 694pts 5 all-star appearances, 1 50 goals in 50 games season (a very impressive stat) and there have only been 10 other NHL's in the history to have averaged a better goals/game ratio over their career.
Clarke Gillies........ 958gp 319g 378a 697pts. won 4 straight Stanley Cups as a member of the New York Islanders Dynasty of the early 80's (argueably the greatest dynasty in NHL history) Considered by many as the toughest player of his generation.

Oven Floor / deck without seams
I'm in the planning stages to build a trailer-mounted unit and in a conversation with a health department inspector, she said a wood oven should be fine as long as there are no seams in the deck...which all but rules out firebrick.
what are my other choices for a deck, either DIY or purchase?
My oven size is going to be 36-40".
Has anyone else worked around the need for a seamless deck for commercial cooking?
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
How about a pour in place product? I also have to wonder is, how do deck ovens and the typical conveyor style pizza ovens get around this requirement?
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
A cast deck is what I'm leaning toward, just using the same refractory concrete mix that I will use for the dome, and then buffing it down smooth after it cures.
Any of the big restaurant ovens like woodstone have seamless hearths...here's how woodstone describes their monster:
[A] 750-pound, monolithic, cast-ceramic floor sits on 4 inches of rigid insulation and is poured to a thickness of 4 inches.
Same with a traditional deck oven, they have some kind of ceramic stone hearth that costs thousands (I've talked to restaurant equipment suppliers)
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
You should ask the HD again because even deck ovens where I work have seams. It would be impossible to have one big piece of stone in there, because how are you going to get it out when you have to change it. I would ask them again about this because you could get a diameter made that you want then cut into 1/4 pieces. That is how the FB oven floors are and so are the Stefano Ferrara ovens. Its a set diameter cut into 1/4 pieces. As you can see here in the Premio oven description House and Garden Pizza Oven.
Woodstone ovens are not good for high temp use.
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
Go for 3cm soap Stone set over fire brick splits. It's about the only option you have that wont break the bank completely.
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
You can have seams on the floor, he/she/it does not know what they are talking about.
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
I just re-read it, and the title is different than what you say in the body of the post. They are probably correct about no seams in food prep areas (I don't know, but it seems logical), of which the deck would be considered, but wrong about inside the oven.
Re: Oven Floor / deck without seams
I agree Tscar, why would seams in the hearth be a problem? At 700F, any food particles are going to incinerate as soon as they touch the hearth, if not before. Ash also fills in the gaps and nothing will get down there anyway. I would ask the inspector why it's a problem.

Offi, the American design and manufacturing company famous for offering innovative, versatile, multifunctional furnishings for all ages has launched a new piece by the rising British design star John Green.
Embrace is designed to store modern media, such as DVDs, CDs, books and magazines. This smart piece of furniture is made from bent plywood and is composed of two low modern tables that are "embraced" together in order to form a storage unit/magazine rack or occasional table. The pieces can also be pulled apart to create two small tables, a laptop table, a serving tray or a bench and desk for kids.
Says Green, "I originally designed Embrace when I was a student. The brief was set to design a modern take on the iconic Isokon Penguin Donkey that was within 10 per cent of the original's dimensions. At the time I had no means to manufacture, but I had taught myself how to bend plywood using the book Bent Ply, which heavily features Offi. It became the main company I aspired to work with."
Says Barry Nicholson, general manager for Offi, "We recognized pretty early on that John's work really embodies the Offi sensibility. The Embrace very successfully executes our desire to develop products that are multifunctional and practical, as well as beautiful and comfortable in any modern home."
Embrace is made in the Baltic region of Europe where all the timber used is sustainably felled at source, keeping the carbon footprint of the product to a bare minimum.

What's "shocking" in theatre?
UPDATE 10/10/13: I predicted that this production would be called shocking, but it wasn't until it happened that I recognized what polite "finger-pointing" looks like in this day and sensibility. People, especially those that want to considered educated and liberal, don't like to appear "shocked" by anything that might reveal them to be narrow minded. Instead, they devise euphemisms to convey their dismay, while portraying themselves as "unshocked." A reviewer, after being wholly distracted by the fact that the play wasn't a Woman in Black clone (a play they felt we produced exceedingly well in 2009), remarked that the ending was "VC Andrews" but not in a good way. Which is the polite way of saying it shocked her sensibilities, but she didn't want to admit it. The problem-- besides wanting the play to be something it wasn't designed to be-- is that being shocked means being thoughtless, unreflective, taking one's own preconceptions and values as universal without examining what the text may be conveying. The problem with "shocked" is that it is entirely self-satisfied.

Editors note: This is the second part of a three-part series exploring why and how residents not native to Aiken chose to make this area their home.
Aiken resident Dick Dewar never thought he would ever live in the South.
We hadnt ever considered it, Dewar said. A story Ive heard all the time from people who moved to Aiken say they looked around and just found Aiken. Ive talked to people up North who said they checked all the towns of interest from Florida on, and finally got Aiken.
A New England man, Dewar was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts close to Harvard and MIT. Fresh out of graduating from Boston College, Dewar joined the Air Force.
I went everywhere; I was all over the place, Dewar said. I went from Texas to Ohio. I joined the military right out of college, graduating in June and turning 21 in August.
He was then assigned to a base in Hawaii and served as a security officer on the headquarters. After retiring from the Air Force in 1982, Dewar and his family moved to Los Angeles, California, where he worked security for big events like the 1984 Olympic Games.
I thought we were actually going to stay there for a short period of time, Dewar said. But then 23 years later, we were still there.
But after a visit in 1980 to see Dewars wifes cousin in Aiken, Dewar said he could see why people were falling in love with the town.
My wifes cousins husband came to the Site (Savannah River Site) in 1951 or 1952, and when we visited I really liked it, Dewar said. I always loved the small town feel, and it had a potential to be a good retirement place.
After bouncing around from state to state, city to city, Dewar finally called Aiken home.
We settled in pretty quickly, Dewar said. Its a nice community, and its everything I was looking for in retirement. I can play golf where I want to and when I want to.
Dewar also currently covers District 3 on the Aiken City Council.
I love the ambience of Aiken, Dewar said. It really is a great community. Another great thing about living here is the equestrian community feel. Its nice to have a lot of different things going on so close around you. My family loves South Carolina, and they always love to come out and visit here.
Dewar said there are quite a few things he misses about the other places he has lived.
I miss two things about the West the great weather is one, because it hardly ever changes, Dewar said. Itll stay between 30 and 40 degrees, between the high and low, and I also miss the time zone. I always liked the idea that I could watch Monday Night Football at 6 p.m. and go to bed at a decent time. I dont watch it anymore because it comes on late, and I wouldnt be done until midnight.
Dewar still follows his New England teams. He was joyous after his alma mater joined the ACC, now able to play teams in the area.
But while Dewar has picked up maybe one Southern quirk, dont think hes about to abandon all of his Bostonian habits.
I havent really developed any major Southern quirks, but Ive recently learned to love shrimp and grits, Dewar said, laughing.

A baby who has anemia does not have enough red blood cells (RBCs). The red blood cells carry oxygen in the blood and deliver it to the rest of the body.
Around 6 to 9 weeks after birth, every baby has a type of anemia called physiologic or normal anemia. Throughout our lives red blood cells get old and break down and our bodies make new red blood cells to replace them. Babies cannot make enough new red blood cells to replace the old ones until they are about 1 month old. Once a baby starts making new red blood cells, the red blood cell count gradually goes back to normal. Most babies do not have any symptoms from this natural process and do not need treatment.
Besides normal anemia, newborns can become anemic because of:
A baby who is anemic:
A baby's red blood cells can be counted with a simple blood test.
Anemia is normal for newborns and does not need to be treated unless it causes a problem for the baby or the blood count drops too low.
Iron is needed to make red blood cells. Your healthcare provider may recommend that you give your baby iron drops or iron-fortified formula. Full-term babies may not need iron supplements until they are much older.
Many premature babies get anemic before their body can make red blood cells. They may need a transfusion of blood. A blood transfusion is a transfer of red blood cells from someone else (a donor) to the baby. The smaller a premature baby is, the more likely it is that the baby will need 1 or more blood transfusions in the first 2 months of life. Usually the blood is donated by volunteer donors. This is called blood bank blood. It may also be possible for family members to donate blood for the baby. This is called directed-donor blood.
Follow your child's healthcare provider's instructions. Ask your provider:
Your baby may have constipation if you are giving iron supplements or iron-fortified formula. Ask your child's healthcare provider about giving your baby pear juice or other natural treatments if your baby seems to be having trouble passing bowel movements or is having fewer bowel movements.
Make sure you know when your child should come back for a checkup.

The Titanic is one of the most famous events of the 20th century as the entire world watched the unsinkable ship collapse to the bottom of the ocean. Thousands of studies have been done on the event, and perhaps none is more controversial than that presented by Robin Gardiner in his book, "Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank?" Gardiner's conspiracy theory stated that the ship that sank was not the Titanic, but rather its sister ship, the Olympic.
He wrote that the Olympic was disguised as the Titanic and purposely sunk as an insurance scam! Gardiner cited that several months before the Titanic sunk, the Olympic was involved in a collision with a Royal Navy Warship and received extensive damage. The blame was placed on the Olympic and insurers refused to pay any money, losing the company copious amounts of money.
To regain the money that was owed, insurers disguised the damaged ship as the Titanic, sent it out to sea, and purposefully flooded it. According to him there never was an iceberg and it was all intentional. The real Titanic was then dressed up as the Olympic because it was fully functional and sailed for the next 25 years. Nearly everyone raised objections to Gardiner's theory, yet it nonetheless gained much attention. What do you think? Tell us in the comment!

Luton defeat painful for Barrow boss Bayliss
Last updated at 16:26, Wednesday, 09 January 2013
BARROW AFC manager Dave Bayliss described last night's 6-1 thrashing at the hands of his former employers, Luton Town, as "painful".
The bottom-of-the-table Bluebirds, who were recently hit by a transfer embargo due to an unpaid tax bill, travelled to Kenilworth Road with just 13 players.
Speaking after the defeat, Bayliss said: "It was always going to be tough coming here anyway, but to give away the goals we did was very, very disappointing.
"We had spoken about staying in the game for as long as we could but, like Saturday when we also conceded early, we went down in the second minute.
"When you come here you have to silence the crowd first and foremost. However, all we did was give them a big, big lift.
"It was men and against boys. We didn't really stand a chance once the first goal went in. It was always going to be an uphill battle after that.
"Luton are by far the best side I have seen this season but I think we gave them a really big helping hand tonight.
"You can go through every single goal and pinpoint where it could have been stopped.
"But we came down here with 12 outfield players, clearly they tried their best again, you can't deny the effort and attitude was there, but unfortunately for us the quality and ability to defend was again not. The spine of the side was soft and that has to improve.
"Look at Luton's big, daunting, imposing two centre-halves and look at ours – it was men against boys out there."
Luton scored three times in each half, while Barrow's consolation came from striker Adam Boyes on 68 minutes.
Bayliss added: "It's a Luton side that has been assembled with a lot of money, money we haven't got.
"Jon Shaw (who scored a hat-trick) is the best striker in the league for me. He had the run of the game tonight. I'd love to have Jon with us but unfortunately Jon's wages would cover about six of our players.
"We said to our players tonight to go and enjoy themselves in front of a big crowd and in a great stadium but some of them looked like rabbits caught in the headlights, which is disappointing.
"I love coming back to Luton but I didn't enjoy that. It was painful.
"But until we can bring further players in we have got what we have got."
On the transfer embargo, the Bluebirds boss added: "Hopefully it will get lifted soon and we can start bringing players in.
"We have already identified three or four we want to bring in and who will make a massive difference to the team.
"Hopefully things will get sorted out this week and we can move on, bring better players in and they will improve us massively.
"I've had lads lined up to come in since last Friday, one or two trained with us last week, but we couldn't do the deals.
"It's one of those unfortunate things and I'm not blaming anyone. The chairman and directors have put money into the football club for no real return and it costs a lot of money to play at this level, so I'm not pointing the finger at anyone.
"All I want is to strengthen the side. (Assistant manager) Ash Hoskin came into training yesterday and said he would pay the bill. That shows he has too much money for start, but seriously there are genuine people who will help us out and the sooner it gets done the better."

DURHAM, N.H. -- Senior Bobby Butler (Marlboro, Mass.) of the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team has signed an NHL contract with the Ottawa Senators and is expected to stay with the club for the final six games of the regular season and could be in the lineup as early as Thursday when the team hosts the Carolina Hurricanes.
Butler was the 2010 Hockey East Player of the Year, 2010 Walter Brown Award winner, Hockey East All Star First Team, Hockey East Scoring Champion, Hockey East Three Stars Award winner and a Hobey Baker Top 10 finalist. Butler enjoyed not only his best season as a Wildcat, but also arguably the greatest season by any Wildcat forward in recent history. Butler ranks first in the nation in goals with 29 and is tied for second nationally in points with 53. Butler finished second in goals per game at 0.74, fifth in points per game (1.36 ppg), 10th in short-handed goals (2) and 19th in game winners (4). The co-captain, as voted by his teammates, has been even better among Hockey East's elite, ranking first overall in goals, third in points, seventh in power play goals, second in short-handed goals and third in game-winning tallies. In conference play, Butler finished first in points (41) and goals (21), and sixth in assists (20). He becomes the first player in Hockey East to register 20 goals and 20 assists in league play since 1999 Hobey Baker winner Jason Krog of New Hampshire. Butler was one of just six male position players selected to represent the East Squad at the 2010 NCAA Frozen Four Skills Challenge. He was also a 2010 Hockey Humanitarian nominee for his efforts off the ice in the greater Durham community.
Butler and the Wildcats finished with an 18-14-7 overall record and qualified for the NCAA's for the ninth-consecutive season. The team captured its third Hockey East regular season title in the last four years and advanced to the NCAA regional finals for the second-consecutive season.

Publisher's Description
Benjamin Kisoni was young, gifted, university educated and confident that he would make his mark as a Christian leader in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. But civil war robbed him and his wife and children of all they possessed. On returning to their home town, they found that living by Christian principles brought them abuse rather than praise. When they eventually managed to struggle to their feet, they were brought down again by the assassination of Benjamins younger brother, the struggle for justice, and the growing awareness that Benjamin too was a marked man. For the safety of his family, he had to flee the DRC and see refugee status in the USA. A devoted believer, he brought each situation to the Lord, sometimes in grief, sometimes in anger. In this book he recounts what he learnt about God and himself on this long journey.
Author Bio
Benjamin Kisoni has been a school principal, pastor, Christian writer, and radio presenter in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was forced into exile in the United States, where he is currently exercising a pastoral ministry among African immigrants in the International Christian Fellowship in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Mineral rights issue for Broughton Moor dump developers
Last updated at 19:58, Thursday, 11 August 2011
The people behind the planned redevelopment of Broughton Moor's former RNAD depot are hoping that issues over mineral rights will not hold up the project.
Have your say
For all those who want an opencast mine, how long will it be before anything can be built upon the reinstated land?Come on, start thinking more than old industrial working. Leave all the dirty stuff to them lot darn sarf. They were the ones who wanted all the mines closed. Let them have the dirt!
Get it opencasted then there's a clean piece of paper to develop it into this " utropia " thing that will be of no use whatsoever to the local population , too many people goin around wid there eyes shut ???
To all of you saying opencasting will bring in jobs, how many do you think will be created by this massive development project? Not to mention those postitions that will be permanent as opposed to the opencast scheme, which will employ people for a few years then close leaving nothing behind.

Thanks for all the info lads. As far as I know hox charger and iPhone are both 5v 1a (1000ma)
I really hope wish pray beg that the battery life improves with the software updates and that some company any company come out with a case that had a battery like they have for the iPhone's
Battery life Is rough on the hox.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I agree with you there. I keep telling myself once the updates kick in and development really gets underway well definitely see better results but still bugs me. See that's what I do but my current external battery is 12000 and kinda big to carry around with me unless I have like a bag or man bag or something.
I absolutely love this phone and android but I really need better batterey life. And according to the developers here once nvidia improve the drivers for tegra 3 the power management should be allot better. Here's hoping. I am jealous of all the accessories iPhone has though. Although android is getting there now

SO SO Good! I didn't use as many onions as this called for and I added some jalapenos. Many compliments!
This was a wonderful dip! I served it a small group gathering and got rave reviews! Everyone loved it.
1st time I made it, it was ok. Second time, better...I added a little taco seasoning to the sour cream mixture. Much better! Thanks.

Who can say "no" to a sexy, chiseled Peter Pan? Lord knows I can't. I'm pretty sure Wendy can't. And Sony just proved they are putty in his hands as well. Sony has purchased the project that had reportedly been named Peter Pan Begins. Thankfully, that title was wrong. It's just called Pan, which sounds more like a Pixar movie about a goat, but it's still better than Peter Pan Begins.
Sony is paying $1mm for the project, which doesn't seem like much until one remembers that the source material is in the public domain, and consequently is free. The million bucks is best imagined as a cost of about $125,000 per each of Channing Tatum's abs. Which I still think is a bargain. I mean, have you seen them? I would pay twice that if I was still an executive at DreamWorks.
When the story about the project broke last week, it was known that the film wouldn't remain unsold for long because of the familiarity of the material. It's nice to know that even Hollywood's predictability is predictable. It's like a warm, lazy blanket during a storm.
Filming will begin just as soon as Tatum knocks out like 300 more jackknife sit-ups.(/Film)

South Coast Rail Economic Development & Land Use Corridor Plan
Location: Southeastern Massachusetts. Extension of commuter rail service from Massachusetts' economic hub to two diverse cities 50 miles to the south
Problem, Context and Goals
This project is a smart growth plan for transforming a region under threat. It will guide overall land use in the region, development of mixed use, walkable places around new rail stations, and state investments in both "growth infrastructure" and "green infrastructure."
The Plan provides a growth and preservation framework for the state's fastest growing region: a 750 square mile area that includes struggling older cities, mature suburban towns, and rural communities. Today, the regional economy, environmental assets, working landscapes, historic character, and quality of life are threatened by unmanaged growth. As the region's population continues to increase, growth is certain. The question for the region and its communities is how they will grow.
The impetus for the Plan is the extension of commuter rail service from the state's economic hub to two diverse cities 50 miles to the south – communities where economic opportunity has long been lacking. Traditionally, commuter rail investments have supported economic growth but are accompanied by sprawling low- density development, consumption of open space, and continued disinvestment in urban centers. The Plan has been developed to ensure that this transit investment advances the state's Sustainable Development Principles through regional conservation and development actions. The Plan promotes compact higher- density development within the region and around new transit stations while fostering protection of environmentally sensitive lands for recreation, conservation and habitat.
The Plan marks the state's first effort to truly coordinate a transportation investment with economic development and land use planning—and is the product of unprecedented collaboration between towns and cities, regional planning agencies, state agencies and advocacy groups. The Plan is the tool for translating public investment in transit into meaningful smart growth within the region. It is a model for regional planning—and action—to advance sustainability.
Process & Implementation
The Plan emerged from a partnership between seven state agencies, three regional planning agencies, 31 corridor communities, regional business and environmental advocacy groups, a broadly representative regional task force, and the wider public. The Plan was shaped by over 100 large and small civic engagement meetings. In August, 2009, the Plan was formally released by the governor, cabinet secretaries, congressional delegates and state and local elected officials at a public event. The State is using the Plan to guide investments in infrastructure and land protection, targeting technical assistance where it is most needed. More detailed station area planning and zoning reforms are now underway. As with the Plan's creation, its implementation will continue to occur collaboratively, with local, state and regional actions all critical to realization of the overall regional vision.
Plan Elements
The Plan is comprised of three principal elements:
The Map: The regional map identifies priority preservation and development areas, and was developed through a tiered process that recognized local, regional and state priorities. Station Area Plans: Concept plans will guide development around future transit stations.
Smart Growth Regulations: Ongoing technical assistance from regional planning agencies is moving the Plan forward.
The Plan provides a broadly supported blueprint for the region's future—one that maximizes the economic benefits of the commuter rail investment, that clusters new jobs and homes in downtowns and around transit, and that preserves the working landscapes and natural assets of one of the state's fastest growing regions. This blueprint is supported by state policies and investments, as well as by technical assistance and local regulatory reform. The Plan is closely aligned with CNU's Charter Principles for "The Region."
The Plan provides a physical organization of the region [that is] supported by a framework of transportation alternatives. A broadly endorsed Map identifies over 30 Priority Development Areas throughout the region, ranging in size from 50 to 500 acres and including downtowns, major employment centers, and 15 station areas. Most involve redevelopment or expansion of places already served by infrastructure. Several are new growth centers that are supportable because of rail development. All will be targeted for compact, mixed-use development. Station Area Plans designate stations as walkable, mixed-use places that maximize access to the train by foot, bicycle, or transit. Land around stations is devoted first to higher-density transit-oriented development served by paths and public spaces; commuter parking is minimized as a presence. Today, approximately 40,000 households and 55,000 jobs are located within about a mile of the proposed station sites. By 2030, these areas are expected to have grown by an additional 9,000 households and 11,000 jobs. Station Area Plans identify development potential within a quarter mile of stations and lay the groundwork for continued local planning around issues such as zoning, market demand, and traffic flow.
In this growing region where both working landscapes and natural assets are intrinsic to the region's character and under threat, the metropolis has a necessary and fragile relationship to its agrarian hinterland and natural landscapes. "Green infrastructure" is an integral part of the Plan. The Map identifies over 70 Priority Protection Areas, which lack permanent protection from development. These areas include cranberry bogs and estuaries, forests and wetlands, rich farmland and fisheries, riverways and aquifers, unique archaeological and historic sites, missing links within existing habitat corridors and recreational networks, and other areas of high ecological or habitat value – many of which span multiple municipal jurisdictions and are especially vulnerable to piecemeal development. Through state funding, regionally provided technical assistance, and help from environmental organizations, communities are moving forward with preservation of Priority Protection Areas.
At its core, the Plan is the nexus between governmental cooperation, public policy, physical planning, and economic strategies. The Plan coordinates a long-awaited rail investment with economic development and land use planning. It quantifies the economic benefits that rail service will bring to the region, and establishes a development framework that maximizes the number of homes and businesses that can be appropriately accommodated within mixed-use, compact development close to proposed train stations. It lays the foundation for station area infill and brownfields redevelopment that will support downtown revitalization efforts in two of the state's most distressed cities as well as in smaller towns. Because viable regional planning in this strongly home-rule state must involve collaboration at each level of government and beyond right from the beginning, the Plan is by design both a bottom-up and top-down enterprise, engaging local residents and business owners, municipal officials, regional planning councils, task forces and advocacy groups, and multiple state agencies. Implementation is supported by policies at the state level – including priority access to funds and provision of technical assistance – and through regulatory changes at the local level.
As described above, the Plan provides a blueprint for physical organization of the region [that] promotes transit, pedestrian and bicycle systems to maximize access and mobility while reducing dependence on automobiles. New commuter rail service will create an important transit spine for the region, providing a sustainable alternative for travel within the region and to/from the state's center for economic activity, healthcare, and education. Station locations and Station Area Plans are designed to maximize pedestrian, bike and bus connections to existing and future homes and businesses.
The Plan provides a framework for encouraging mixed-use, higher density development, particularly in places served by transit and already supported by water and sewer infrastructure. Under the Plan, over 30 Priority Development Areas – primarily downtowns, job centers, and station areas – will be targeted for new and infill development, encouraging development [that] is organized around transit lines and hubs.
[Conservation of] sensitive or virgin forests, native habitats and prime farmlands and [protection of] imperiled species and ecological communities as well as wetlands...natural watersheds and...habitats" is an integral component of the Plan. Over 70 Priority Protection Areas target preservation of the region's most valuable natural assets and working landscapes.
Lessons learned: • Broad-based support from the top down and bottom up is critical to a regional land use plan's success: Without broad-based support from communities, state agencies, regional planning agencies, advocacy groups and task forces, this regional plan could not have succeeded in this strongly home-rule state. With highly limited state and regional authority to mandate local land use policies, building strong support across all levels of government and spanning multiple communities is key. • TOD means different things in different locations (rural vs. urban): Transit-oriented development is a viable goal in growing semi-rural and rural locations, but the type and pattern of development to be planned for can vary significantly from suburban and urban environments. In rural and semi-rural communities, village-type developments of homes, businesses and public spaces close to stations can be a context sensitive smart-growth strategy. For suburban and urban stations, more intensive development is often appropriate. • Communities facing the most dramatic growth are often the least equipped to manage that growth: The communities that were growing most rapidly were the communities with the fewest tools with which to shape development. Particularly in this period of economic strain, most semi-rural communities lack the experience, staff and technical expertise to focus on implementation of policies that will encourage compact development and preserve natural and historic resources. Financial and technical support for these efforts is critical and is being provided on a continuing basis to local communities. • What happens to the places in between? Critical to the success of a conservation and development plan is ensuring that sustainability is a core strategy not just in priority preservation or development areas, but within the places between, which will also experience growth. Ongoing technical assistance from regional agencies is helping the Plan communities to develop and implement smart growth policies and regulations town- and city-wide.

The Sinner's Prayer and Discipleship: Some Connections
Posted by Tony Sisk in Uncategorized
It is the tendency among evangelical Christians, notably Baptists, to reduce a practice to the lowest common denominator for ease of use and accessibility. Our natures cause us to oversimplify and often this causes detriment to Scriptural practices, not the least of which is discipleship. If the church is failing in any one particular area, it is manufacturing true, genuine disciples, those willing to take up the cross daily.
When I came to Christ as a teenager, I prayed a prayer similar to what you find in most Gospel tracts:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am sinful and I need your forgiveness. I believe that You died to pay the penalty for my sin. I want to turn from my sin nature and follow You instead. I invite You to come into my life. In Jesus' name. Amen." Steps to Peace with God, Billy Graham
There are countless others that have prayed this prayer to initiate a life with Christ. On the surface, the prayer seems theological enough–there is acknowledgment of need, confession of sin, repentance, and the substitutionary, vicarious nature of Christ's death; all biblically necessary for receiving salvation.
However, is there anywhere in the Bible that someone prays to receive salvation? It cannot be said that an apparently Scriptural practice, if it is not chapter and verse, is immediately unbiblical. There are a lot of modern constructs used in Christian life and practice that though they do not have a biblical precedent it does not make the usage of them sinful. Nevertheless, there is no notion of a sinner's prayer in the Scriptures.
God has outlined the plan of salvation clearly in the Scriptures. And from that plan, there is no mention of prayer being a prerequisite. The plan goes like this:
- Hear the Gospel message (John 5:24, Acts 15:7, Romans 10:14).
- Believe in Jesus as the resurrected Son of God (John 3:16-18, 11:25-26, Romans 10:9).
- Repent of sin (Matthew 3:2, Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30).
- Confess Christ before others (Mark 8:38, Romans 10:9).
- Be baptized as an outward testimony and as an act of obedience (Matthew 3:13-15, Acts 9:18, 16:33).
- Live faithfully and steadfast as a Christian (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, 14).
Of all the conversions recorded in the New Testament, there is no witness to any kind of prayer to receive salvation. There are nine conversions in the book of Acts alone and all follow this plan.
- 3,000 on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-41)
- Simon and the Samaritans (Acts 8:9-12)
- The Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:26-39)
- Saul/Paul (Acts 9:1-19 & Acts 22:3-16)
- Cornelius' Household (Acts 10:44-48)
- Lydia (Acts 16:11-15)
- The Philippian Jailer (Acts 16:16-34)
- The Corinthians (Acts 18:1-8)
- The Ephesians (Acts 19:1-7)
There are also the conversions recorded in the Gospels (for example, Nicodemus, the woman at the well, the Gadarene demoniac, and Zaccheus) where similar patterns are evident, though they do not follow exactly the pattern from the book of Acts.
The point is not to impose a rigid rule upon the salvation experience, for each person's experience coming to Christ is different. However, it seems that a pattern can be discerned from Scripture that is noticeably devoid of prayer of any kind. Prayer as a matter of course does not have to be precluded from the initial saving process, but the concern this raises is what the usage of the sinner's prayer has done to discipleship. Has the usage of the prayer been overemphasized to the degree that it has the opposite effect on maturity?
The prayer seems to truncate the primary Christian discipline of discipleship as well as the most noticeable indicator of salvation; that one continues in the faith. I have served in church long enough to garner enough empirical evidence to see that those who have prayed the sinner's prayer, if it is not solidified with discipleship, the prayer then becomes an end unto itself. The sinner has then staked his eternal soul not on the merit of Christ, but a tenuous prayer.
There then is no grounding in Christian orthodoxy, the fundamentals of the faith, or any kind of catechetical teaching, all simply because "Our dear brother or sister has prayed the prayer and it is now up to him and the Holy Spirit."
The sinner's prayer is used as a substitute for the dirty work of discipleship. It can even be prayed again if one does not "feel" saved, purely contrary to the Scriptural teaching on salvation (not to mention that it has become more and more common to re-baptize). Moreover, the prayer also seems to set the tone for the new Christian's walk with Christ. Salvation, having been distilled to a few pat sentences, logically then, sanctification must also be that simple. The Bible teaches clearly that it is not, that we must work out or own salvation, with fear and trembling. Having oversimplified coming to Christ, continuing with Christ is also oversimplified.
Dr. Bill Bennett, then Visiting Distinguished Professor of Preaching at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, claimed about eight years ago that the greatest heresy among Southern Baptists is that of easy believism. These are very true words, and as such, has allowed for the infiltration of prosperity teachings that have subtly fill this void. An undue emphasis on the sinner's prayer may be a partial culprit.

Push to spur more drugs for deadly rare diseases
WASHINGTON Every other week, 7-year-old twins Addison and Cassidy Hempel have an experimental medicine injected into their spines in hopes of battling a rare, fatal disease.
And it's their mom who made that possible.
From her home in Reno, Nev., Chris Hempel persuaded scientists to share their research and managed to get the government to sign off on her daughters' unusual experiment. Hempel says getting help to fight a rare disease shouldn't be so hard.
But it's a huge challenge to generate drug company interest in the expensive testing of medicines for diseases so rare - like her girls' Niemann-Pick Type C - that the market is only a few hundred or few thousand people a year.
There are treatments for just 200 of the roughly 7,000 rare diseases, illnesses that affect fewer than 200,000 people, often far, far fewer. Yet add those diseases together, and more than 20 million Americans have one.
Now a movement is beginning to spur more rare-disease treatments: The National Institutes of Health this fall will open a center to speed genetic discoveries into usable therapies, doing some of the riskiest early-stage research in hopes companies then will step in.
A new International Rare Diseases Research Consortium is pushing for at least 200 more treatments by 2020, in part by pooling the work of far-flung scientists and families.
Rather than starting from scratch, the Food and Drug Administration is pointing the way for manufacturers to "repurpose" old drugs for new use against rare diseases, publishing a list of those deemed particularly promising.
And bipartisan legislation recently introduced in the Senate, called the Creating Hope Act, would offer drug makers another financial incentive - a voucher promising fast FDA evaluation of their next blockbuster drug in return for developing a therapy for a rare or neglected disease that disproportionately affects children. It's unclear what the prospects for passage are.
"We have to give drug companies a reason to go into this market," says Nancy Goodman of Kids v Cancer, a group pushing the legislation. Her son Jacob died at age 10 from a type of brain cancer that has no good treatment.
"My kids may not be curable, but they are treatable," adds Hempel, the Nevada mom. "Who's going to take this over?"
Pharmaceutical giants are starting to show some new interest in rare diseases, traditionally a niche market for small biotech companies. The practical reason: Blockbusters are drying up, says Dr. Ed Mascioli of Pfizer Inc., the world's largest drug company.
"The industry as a whole has a pipeline problem. It's increasingly difficult to develop drugs for common diseases," says Mascioli. He heads a separate research unit that Pfizer opened last year to search for medications for certain distinctively gene-based rare diseases, such as muscular dystrophy and hereditary emphysema.
Some other companies, including Novartis AG and GlaxoSmithKline PLC, also have begun rare-disease programs.
But NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins says all the activity also reflects a larger promise. "Getting a home run with a rare disease sometimes points you in a direction that will be beneficial for common diseases," he told The Associated Press.

As it continues to evolve, the health care industry in the United States is increasingly embracing the business concepts of mergers and acquisitions.
In recent years, financial burdens and increased regulatory requirements have penetrated the industry resulting in the need to make changes and prepare for further changes ahead. As mergers and acquisitions have grown in health care, many providers have faced an increasingly stressful environment. Mergers and acquisitions have become increasingly commonplace in health care.
Those involved assume that the intent of these transactions is to increase efficiencies and productivity, while at the same time improving patient care. These should be considered realistic goals, but they are not easily achieved. The newly joined companies promise to be the best of the combined efforts of the individual components indicating a smooth blending of the two organizations.
However, in many situations, the initial steps toward cultural integration have been less than successful, often leading to increased stress in the organization and, in many cases, less efficiency in the provision of health care to the patients. It is essential to create and implement a timely plan since so many factors are implicated. Any step which is mismanaged only adds to the complications that can potentially negate forward movement.
In recent years, clinical settings have transferred from a familiar nurturing based culture to that of the profit sharing culture of "big business." In today's environment, while customer satisfaction remains a focus, patient care is often portrayed as a delicate balance between profit and loss for the stockholders of the "big business" health care provider. It is this financially and highly regulatory challenged environment that emphasizes the need to manage resources, while simultaneously providing quality care. High efficiency with positive margins is the central challenge to any business administrator, and health care providers have joined in this mindset.
It has become evident that the answer is to adopt successful business strategies and employ them in a new health care paradigm. While it may appear obvious to business people and regulators, patients and patient care providers often find this concept somewhat less than optimal.
By late in the 20th century, dialysis providers became a common player on the business side of health care. More facilities were owned by independent groups than hospitals, and that fact remains so today.

Dating 2 months ... I told him I miss him?
I've been seeing this guy for about 2 months now, we meet 1-2 a week and have a really good time together. I'm 23 and he's 26 and we have been dating... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Ughh... It wouldn't let me finish my comment... So I'll do it here. Read my 2nd comment below first before you read this.
But then you say... I've been distant because you don't seem to want the same thing as me and I'm not going to waste my time.
This displays utmost confidence, and that you respect yourself so much you're not going to put up with being strung along and taken for granted. It also implies you believe you will have no problem finding a guy who will gladly meet your needs.
This confidence will make him want to have you as his girlfriend, and he will be afraid that if he doesn't act, someone else will scoop you up.
What most girls do, is they say they want a relationship, but then hang around when the guy refuses to give it to them. Hoping the guy will eventually realize what he has. THIS NEVER WORKS. Because just by hanging around, she is showing that her needs aren't important, and guys don't respect nor want to date girls that comprise their needs.
Don't ever settle for less than you deserve!
And make it known that you never have and never will.
Hey, thx for your response, I really appreciate the advice. I haven't had the talk and I've been being a little distant but he and I have hung out a couple times this week and it's been great. I think one issue is I'm a little distant and shy in person with him. I never ever initiate holding hands or kiss him, even on the cheek. I kno that's weird after 2 months, but I'm shy by nature. I feel bad making him do all the work and I was thinking maybe I shd let him kno in case he thinks I'm
(contined comment ...) confused or mixed abt my feelings. I was just gonna ask to meet him tonight for a few min and say, "I know I'm not very forward with you and I didn't want you to think I wasn't comf or didn't like you ... I'm just a little shy by nature and I felt if I did take initiative it would put pressure and I completely respect your wishes in that regard. I just feel bad making you do all the work ..." the reason I'm even bringing it up is cause last night at the movies I think he was
(continued ...) waiting for me to hold his hand or lean on him and I wanted to but I'm so shy I just didn't. He finally just grabbed my hand gently toward the end of the movie. I really like him and want to make it clear because I guess I am sending mixed signals. I'm sure most girls rub up against their man or cozy up to them by now ... Do you think that would be an OK convo to have? It would really bug me all week if I had to wait to bring it up ...
What Guys Said 3
I don't think you are doing anything wrong. You aretelling him how you feel and he should be doing the same. I think you wait to have we do we stand talk because it sounds more of an ultimanium. I feel it wuld put more pressure on him and might scare him away. Also you guys already discussesyou wanted to take things slow. If I had to put a label on what you guys were. Yu guys would seem like very best friends or boyfriend and girlfriend even though you guys aren't official yet. Hopefully with time he will ask you out.
You Definitely Made a Good Decision by not having that talk. If you would have, you would have scared him away for good no doubt!
I'll tell you exactly what happened... Guys get spooked really easy when a girl starts wanting to push things to be serious. Any talks of where is this going, where do we stand, what's our future actually kill a guys attraction for a girl. And I'll tell you why...
Whenever we are dating someone, both people are subconsciously evaluating if they think this potential partner is pretty much the best possible partner they can get.
When a girl asks, Where do we stand, it communicates I'm not sure if you like me as much as I like you, but I need to know. And ironically, that question alone can make a guy who thought things were going well begin to question things. He thinks, "Why is she unsure if I like her, is there something about her I don;t know about. Should I not like her? Can I do better? Why is she trying to pin me down in a relationship.
If she is pressuring me, its prob because she knows I'm the best she can get, and she wants to snatch me up before I realize I can do better.
All these thoughts come up in different forms in different guys, when a girl asks a guy where they stand.
So you def, did right by not asking that...
So now what...
Let me use a metaphor to explain what happened and what to do...
Let's say that when we start dating someone, it's like two people standing on opposite sides of a seesaw with it completely balanced. To be in a relationship the two people need to get to the middle of the seesaw without one person moving too fast and tipping over.
When things get more serious in dating, its like taking a step forward on the seesaw. If one person takes a step forward, the other needs to step forward as well or they will be out of balance.
Girls that are a virgin, can easily spook a guy. Its Scary in that guys think once a virgin has sex she will get overly emotional and want to get immediately married.
This guy probably got a little spooked, so he stepped back on the seesaw. By him stepping back though, it made you want to step forward, which was why you were so compelled to tell him you missed him after just seeing him recently. You had felt that he stepped back, and it compelled you to want to step forward.
However, right now the seesaw is out of balance. And when its like this, the first urge is release all those emotions and have a talk that will assure you. But it wont.
Having a talk is another huge step forward on the seesaw and will completely flip over yalls relationship beyond repair.
For him to feel comfortable again, you have to do what's counter-intuitive and step back to balance things out. Act like nothing is wrong, everything is fine and you're not worried about it.
Only when you step back will he be able to come forward again..
Play it cool and take it easy!
Thanks for your response! I do agree with the seesaw metaphor and I understand your perspective. But at thesame time I do not think its fair for me tohave to bottle up everything I feel you know? My feelings aren't strong, but if I am interested in someone, and vice versa, I'd like that said once in a while. I think its a natural thing women want. I've been very nonchalant abt where we stand etc and I'm sure he's loving the lack of pressure, but its taking its toll on me ...
I understand what you're saying... Its not easy holding in strong emotions, but I want you to get what you want. There is a more effective way then talking about it. Stop letting him see you. When he calls be busy, when he asks to hang out say you got something else going on. You do this until he asks why you're acting different. And then and only then, you say...

Helpful Tips for Globalizing B2B Search Marketing
The passing times have ensured the evolution of search market, and it's about time that the B2B marketers take notice of this progress for greater opportunities.
Japan, China and the UK now have quite large search markets of their own capacities (28 billion searches between themselves). There has even been a double digit growth of the number of countries across the globe involved in this market, with France and Russia growing 61% and 92% , with Brazil following at 53% .
There has also been a worldwide growth of 46% from 2008-2009, including more than 131 billion searches, with the US searches accounting for a mere 17% totally. This makes the global search market represent 83% of the total search audience.
Some tips for starters:
- To establish one's own presence early: By researching the competitor's presence in the market, opportunities for increasing one's own search presence can be seized.
- Being methodical while choosing markets for entry: Doing extensive market survey about other companies is important. Getting advice from the web analytics of one's own company to decide upon which markets to target is always necessary. This guarantees smoother operations.
- Research every target market: Being fully knowledgeable about a company before entering the global market is advisable. Being well researched ensures that the company's campaigns are targeting the correct engines.
- Localizing content: Localizing the content to cater to the target market is important. This would help the B2B decision makers to understand you, thereby increasing the chances of business.

Film and music don't quite meet in 'Historia'
By Steven Brown | November 4, 2013 | Updated: November 4, 2013 2:24pm
Photo By ticktockrobotThe British animation studio ticktockrobot traced the "La Triste Historia" story, characters, settings and symbolism in detail.
Photo By Peter SchaafCarlos Miguel Prieto will conduct the Houston Symphony in Jones Hall.
Photo By ticktockrobot"La Triste Historia" includes video created by the British animation studio ticktockrobot.
Photo By ticktockrobot"La Triste Historia" includes video created by the British animation studio ticktockrobot.
Photo By ticktockrobot Ltd.This is an image from "La Triste Historia," a multimedia work commissioned by the Houston Symphony. The music is by Mexican composer Juan Trigos, and the British studio ticktockrobot created the animation. The orchestra will premiere "La Triste Historia" in November.
The Houston Symphony Magazine goes right to the crux of "La Triste Historia," the multimedia work the orchestra premiered Friday.
The piece, based on a story climaxing on Day of the Dead, was listed as "La Triste Historia - Animated Film & Music."
To my eye, "film & music" implies separate entities, which is how they came across. Even though they unfolded simultaneously, they evoked the tale - "The Sad Story," centering on a pair of young lovers torn apart by the Mexican revolution - in different ways.
Mexican composer Juan Trigos' music, bold in contour and vivid in color, focused on the story's broad sweep. The first movement set a once-upon-a-time tone tinged with wistfulness, then developed a power that suggested the strength life in a simple farming village demanded. The second movement described the lovers' tenderness and the danger approaching them. The third unleashed the war's violence. The finale was a gradual rise in intensity, leading to the lovers' reunion on Day of the Dead.
While the music occupied itself with the tale's arc, the film, by the British animation studio ticktockrobot, traced the story, characters, settings and symbolism in detail. The visual language was simple and stylized, and inventive strokes wove story and symbolism together: When soldiers marched into the town and fired on the villagers, the gunshots' flashes of light revealed the soldiers' skeletons, unleashing a common Day of the Dead motif.
The music and video were both compelling, but because they looked at the story from different perspectives, they sometimes diverged.
During the first movement, the film showed the heroine dancing while villagers clapped their hands, but the music's tempo and weightier character didn't match. The music and video sometimes dovetailed into powerful moments, but only intermittently. Though the orchestra, led by Carlos Miguel Prieto, played with dynamism and subtlety, "La Triste Historia" lacked the power it might have had if its components had consistently worked hand-in-glove.
The first half of the concert threatened to upstage the premiere, so compelling were the pieces and performances.
Silvestre Revueltas' "Redes" - "Nets" - came from the score of a 1930s docudrama about the beauties and struggles of life in a Mexican fishing village. The music's starkness, simple but passionate lyricism, ominous pianissimos and explosive energy made each episode compelling. The orchestra played with intensity even when it whispered, and its red-blooded tone let the music exude passion.
As an antidote to Revueltas' drama, the orchestra's exuberance and spring made José Pablo Moncayo's "Huapango" a nine-minute dance party.
