This is only the beginning :)
I love my life, I love myself, and I would love someone to love. I know what I want, how I want it, and the kind of people I like sharing it with. How I can describe myself.... Nerd in school, varsity track obstacle racing through college...I'm the kind of girl who loves wearing skirts, cooking food, ocean swimming, riding motorcycles... Driven, cheeky, curious, adventurous, mischevious, and easily amused. In love with all 14 countries I have studied and vacationed in...however no matter where I go, nothing beats eating good food in good company with good music. My view on the world is that life is hard, but love is real and it makes the trouble worth it. I've learned to make lemonade from lemons and enjoy every glass...positive attitude= positive life :) Conversation is a much better way to learn about someone, so no more descriptions... If you're a good match (& a good guy!) I'd love to chat...and if you're REALLY cool, maybe even a date :) This internet thing is new to me (and even a little creepy), but hey, you never know right? Try everything once they say. Let's see if this prescription is worth it...you could be the reason! Submitted from mobile
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Fishing/Hunting , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
Cycling, Dancing, Martial arts, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Horses
I grew up with large, thoroughbred dogs (rottweiler, pitbulls, rhodesian ridgeback) and I adore them. I also spent four of my summers doing horse husbandry at a camp in the woods. I would love to live in a place where I own both.
Anywhere where there is a dirt road that ends in a beach, a fantastic view, or a waterfall is where I usually end up. Of the 14 countries I have been in so far, Malaysia and Puerto Rico are tops...closely followed by East Africa and the Netherlands.
University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA
I work hard in doors, and I play hard outdoors. Spend a lot of time in church, and a lot of time with friends. I love to travel, and I absolutely breathe music.
Camping, hiking, biking...when I am alone, I paint, I cook, I dance. Gotten back into mui thai. I have a small circle of friends who I spend most of my time with;; there is no substitute for good food eaten with good company.
I am reading Treasure Island over again right now...that and my Russian Language book. Also picked up "unChristian", but am only a few pages in. A Tale of Two Cities is next...or maybe an Ernest Hemingway. I love the classics.

Mariners Notebook: Chavez Impressing in Venezuela
While Dustin Ackley, Nate Tenbrink and other Seattle Mariners prospects put together a nice showing in the Arizona Fall League, there's another minor leaguer doing well for himself in Venezuela.
Outfielder Johermyn Chavez, a 21-year-old who put up big offensive numbers this year at Class A High Desert, entered Thursday batting .314 with a .422 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage in 70 at-bats for Magallanes in the Venezuela Winter League. He has hit two home runs, driven home 11 and eight of his 22 hits have gone for extra bases.
Chavez, obtained from the Blue Jays last winter in the Brandon Morrow trade, is just 21 and hasn't played a game above the A-ball level. But the Mariners have a hard time holding back their enthusiasm about the 6-foot-3, 190-pounder.
At High Desert, he hit 32 home runs, drove in 96 runs and posted averages of .315/.387/.577/.964. And, depending on who you talk with from the Mariners, he might have the strongest arm in the organization.
Darin Garner, the Mariners' minor league infield coordinator who managed High Desert the final five weeks of the season, isn't bashful when he describes what he saw in Chavez.
"The first half of the season, when I would be there, he was figuring some things out," Garner said. "And then right after the second half started, it was like, 'Oh my goodness!'"
Garner gives a lot of credit to Tommy Cruz, the High Desert hitting coach who's a master at helping hitters mentally as well as mechanically.
"Tommy did a nice job getting him to believe and trust what he wanted him to do," Garner said. "Once he did that, he was squaring it up consistently. He has elevated his game. He stayed short, he stayed quick. He stayed with what they were working on."
It's wise to cast a wary eye at offensive statistics in the California League, especially with the southern teams like High Desert because the air is dry and the ball carries. Garner says it probably didn't matter where Chavez was playing because most everything he hit in the second half was on the sweet spot.
"High Desert or no High Desert, it was very impressive," he said. "There was some pretty good pitching in the Cal League this year. Against the closers, guys with pretty decent stuff, and he didn't change."
And what about that arm? Chavez showed his arm strength from the beginning, although he often rushed his throws and lost accuracy because of it.
"He was trying to do too much, probably," Garner said. "I told him the same thing I tell the infielders, 'You've got to see what you're doing. Be aggressive but be under control to make the play.' Once he started doing that, every throw he made to third or home was right on the money.
"I told him at the end of the season, 'This is where you want to be. You slowed the game down and your arm makes up for a lot. You don't have to panic. Earlier, you were panicking.' It's the same thing with Ichiro. He doesn't just throw it in the direction (of the play). He gathers it and is looking at what he's doing and is trusting what he has. I told Chavey, 'Trust what you have. That's a special tool. Not everybody has that.'"
After playing A-ball the past three seasons, Chavez is ready for his biggest test next year at Class AA Jackson, Garner said.
"He's a guy that every year I think he's going to get better," Garner said. "When I was there early we talked about slowing the game down, not just hitting but everything — the defensive part, situational, baserunning. He did that. He's ready to go to the next level."
Managing, Evaluating From Other Side
Last week, the Mariners hired former All-Star catcher and baseball executive Ted Simmons as special adviser to general manager Jack Zduriencik.
Tuesday night in Peoria, Ariz., Simmons found himself in the unique position of managing the Peoria Saguaros against a Peoria Javelinas team filled with Mariners prospects in the Arizona Fall League.
Simmons, 61, was the Cardinals' first-round draft pick in 1967, played 21 big-league seasons with the Cards, Brewers and Braves, and was an eight-time All-Star at catcher. After retiring as a player in 1988, he has remained in baseball in nearly every front-office capacity, including GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1993. Zduriencik was his scouting director with the Pirates.
"I've known Jack for over 25 years. We go way, way back," Simmons said. "When he was in Milwaukee drafting all those kids and building their program over there in the scouting department, I went there three years ago as the bench coach for Ned Yost. We've been friends for so long and know each other so well that this is about as good a fit as there is on the face of the earth as far as I'm concerned.
"I might see amateur players pre-draft or I could see free-agent guys in the spring. I'll be here at spring training with Jack. I'll be doing any number of things. My experience is such that I've done anything. There are very few ways I can't help him."
Simmons has gotten a good look at the Mariners' future in the Fall League, at least in terms of the players he's been able to see across the field with the Peoria Javelinas. Two players stand out to Simmons — second baseman Dustin Ackley and relief pitcher Josh Lueke.
"The Ackley kid looks like he's a hitter," Simmons said. "And the Lueke kid looks like he's a major league pitcher."
Quick Slants
Despite multiple reports last week, the Mariners did not place a bid for Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma. John Hickey, who covered the Mariners for the former Seattle P-I who's now with AOL Fanhouse, wrote that based on sources with connections to Japan. Other baseball sources have since confirmed that. Teams are prohibited from commenting on the posting process. The next Japanese player who may be posted for bidding is middle infielder Tsuyoshi Nishioka of the Chiba Lotte Marines. He's considered a more polished second baseman. A Los Angeles Times report this week said Nishioka prefers to play on the West Coast with the Dodgers, Giants, Padres or Diamondbacks. No mention of the Mariners. Baseball Prospectus has produced its rundown of the Mariners' top minor league prospects and, to no surprise, pitcher Michael Pineda and second baseman Dustin Ackley are in the five-star list. BP's overall review is this: "A couple potential impact players at the top but an overall shallow system where the talent level drops off quickly." Pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen's strong Fall League performance with the Peoria Javelinas took a painful turn Tuesday when he was hit on his left foot by a line drive. He was immediately pulled from the game and was sore the next day, but the Mariners didn't expect Wilhelmsen to miss more than a few days. Mariners outfield prospect Greg Halman and former Mariner Adam Jones are among a group of players conducting clinics and charity work in the Netherlands. Halman is a native of the Netherlands, as is Orioles pitcher Rick VandenHurk, who organized the tour.

Scientists Pave Way for Nervous System Transplants.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have demonstrated that living human nerve cells can be engineered into a network that could one day be used for transplants to repair damage to the nervous system.
"We have created a three-dimensional neural network, a mini nervous system in culture, which can be transplanted en masse," explained Douglas H. Smith, MD, Professor, Department of Neurosurgery and Director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at Penn. He is senior author of a report on the work, published in the February issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery.
Although neuron transplantation to repair the nervous system has shown promise in animal models, there are few sources of viable neurons for use in the clinic and insufficient approaches to bridge extensive nerve damage in patients. In previous work, Dr. Smith's group showed in a rat model that they could induce tracts of nerve fibers called axons to grow in response to mechanical tension. Now, they are applying this technique to living human nerve cells, obtaining human dorsal root ganglia neurons to engineer into transplantable nervous tissue.
These neurons were harvested from 16 live patients following elective ganglionectomies, and four thoracic neurons were harvested from organ donors. The neurons were purified and placed in a specially-designed growth chamber. Using a stretching technique, the axons were slowly pulled in opposite directions over a series of days until they reached a desired length. The neurons survived at least three months in culture while maintaining the ability to generate action potentials, the electrical signals transmitted along nerve fibers. The axons grew at about 1 millimeter per day to a length of 1 centimeter, creating the first engineered living human nervous tissue constructs.

When Bonds begins to fall, A-Rod's stock will rise
SAN FRANCISCO -- Now that the All-Star Game and Dmitri Young's hairdo are history, all attention will turn to Barry Bonds' home run quest and his closest pursuer -- and, no, I'm not talking about the feds, Sen. George Mitchell or Bonds' alleged former mistress, Kimberly Bell.
Like it or not, Bonds is going to catch and surpass Hank Aaron's record of 755 home runs. He needs only five more dingers, which means the only thing that can stop him is an injury, a flaxseed overdose or Bud Selig ...

Picture: Leonardo DiCaprio has rented a secluded mansion on the shores of Sydney Harbour in the exclusive suburb of Vaucluse. Currently in Sydney for...
Leonardo Dicaprio with a host of other stars including Russell Crowe helped to open The Star casino in Sydney last night (15.11.2011)
DiCaprio was a last minute guest and showed up to the event wearing jeans, a t-shirt and baseball cap. Drinking only water the Hollywood star socialised and according to Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph, was described by a fellow guest as "an incredibly charismatic man and I liken him to a young Laurence Olivier." The invitation only event was hosted by casino owner Larry Mullins who was re-launching his venue after a lengthy refurbishment, Don Perignon champagne was served to the 250 VIP guest list as they sat down to a six-course meal. Australian star Olivia Newton-John was also in attendance and was thrilled with the casino saying "I feel like I'm in Vegas in the good way. I don't like to gamble but I'm willing to put a bet on this place." DiCaprio is currently in Sydney to film new movie, The Great Gatsby, a new adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.
Born in Los Angeles, the 36-year-old actor is currently the highest earning actor in Hollywood, however, his career started appearing in a series of adverts and educational films. He reached the A-list after appearing in 1997 blockbuster Titanic and has since starred in The Departed, The Aviator, Inception and is currently filming a biopic about former FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover.

My best friends insist that my shoes are *always* ugly. (Uggs, Birkenstocks, now Crocs.) But I always go for a wide toe, a youthful overall aesthetic, and comfort. I love that I look a little weird. I love that my feet have the space to spread out and demand comfort while I stand at work, and then walk for hours during errands. If you think they're ugly, you're not thinking wide enough. Only small-minded people end their shoe-search with "ugly." *VERY wide calf. I am 155 lbs, 5'3", after losing 100 lbs, and my legs are very fat. I have NEVER found a rainbow before these which fit my calf. *ALL of my review is based on a size 10 Jaunt boot while I am usually a size 7.5-8 shoe. I am happy with the extra room, but I recommend wearing socks with larger sizes of these as much as you can because the extra wiggle room + sweat can result in blisters. *I'd like to see these in yellow for a Paddington Bear look.more »

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Flu and Chronic Medical Conditions
In this article
If you have a chronic medical condition, how do you treat the flu?
Antiviral drugs are available by prescription to treat the flu and should be taken 24-48 hours after symptoms begin. In some cases, antiviral drugs can be used to prevent infection with flu. These drugs work by blocking the replication of the flu virus, preventing its spread. Recommended antiviral drugs include:
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu)
Peramivir (Rapivab)
Zanamivir (Relenza)
People who are at high risk of serious complications from the flu may benefit most from antiviral medications. This includes people with chronic medical conditions. Call your doctor if you have symptoms of the flu or have been exposed to the flu if you are in one of the high risk groups for complications. You may also take some over-the-counter cold and flu medicines, but always check with your doctor or pharmacist first. You should make sure the medicine won't interfere with other medications prescribed for your condition. For example, if you have heart disease, you need to avoid decongestants. If you have COPD, you may need to avoid aspirin, antihistamines, and decongestants.
When do I call the doctor for flu with a chronic medical condition?
Some doctors recommend that people with chronic disease always go to the doctor when they get the flu or a cold. Others think you can safely wait out these viruses with bed rest and fluids. But if you experience any of the following symptoms, you need to call your doctor:
- You have trouble breathing.
- Your symptoms don't improve or they get worse after three to four days.

unified computing system (UCS)
A unified computing system (UCS) is a data center architecture that integrates computing, networking and storage resources to increase efficiency and enable centralized management.
Data center energy efficiency
A unified computing system (UCS) is a data center architecture that integrates computing, networking and storage resources to increase efficiency and enable centralized management. When UCS is sold as a product, hardware and software are designed or configured to work together effectively.

Cisco announced details of its UCS product in April 2009. Wendy Mars, director of the company's UCS initiative, reported on a comparison of Cisco's UCS with a legacy system. Mars claimed that UCS would enable an 86% reduction of cabling and allow provisioning in a matter of minutes, rather than the "days and weeks" required for a legacy data center. Capital expense was estimated to be 43% lower.
Cisco CTO Padmasree Warrior describes unified computing as a tighter "integration of networks, servers, and storage, based on open standards, with virtualization as the common abstraction." Because Cisco's UCS is essentially a collection of existing hardware and software rather than a new product, it is sometimes referred to as a marketecture.
Similar offerings to Cisco's include HP's BladeSystem Matrix, Liquid Computing's LiquidIQ, Sun's Modular Datacenter and InteliCloud's 360.

Very short; I don't recommend it as it's pretty bad. I was going to release beta 2 a while back but I have decided to rewrite the story and rename the game.

An elegance of dynamics drives the design of the new BMW Welt – a stunning solar-powered shrine to German auto engineering. Crafted by world renowned architect Wolf Prix of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, this sculptural, high-performance structure opened in October to serve as BMW's center for refinement of brand experience and vehicle delivery in Munich.

hehe PS. I'm told not to use the word 'landscaping' infruiates landscape architects apparently!
February 27, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I stumbled upon this building when visiting the Munich Olympics park which is just next door to it. Its the first thing you see as you come out of the S-Bahn stop (Underground/Metro/Subway/Train link whatever you Americans call it! (I'm a 'Brit')) Its very impressive, they were landscaping still when i was there at the end of September (We were promtly hurried along by a big German when i stopped to take photos!)
I hope that we can do a similarly good job for 2012…
January 16, 2008 at 2:05 am
This is an exceptional piece of engineering as well as a stunning sight to behold just from looking at the photo's. The people who strove to have this built and implemented should be highly commended on their guts and determination to bring functionality, breathtaking design and an environmental green approach to buildings.

really cool but just one small point. photovoltaics are not a reduction…they are a replacement.

[…] At BMW Welt you can collect you new bimmer in style, checkout this building. Posted on inhabitat.com and […]
November 15, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Architecture as it was intended…a beautiful, functional, efficient people pleaser. Wow!
November 14, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Ohh man them are some really cool photo's! Germany is starting to take the lead in solar engineering and design we need to catch up.
November 14, 2007 at 1:50 pm
This is truly awesome!

Waratahs v Rebels - Live
Full time Waratahs 31-26 Rebels
80 All over in Sydney. Excellent second half from the Waratahs who pick up the victory in front of a small crowd. They move up to second place in the Australian conference.
80 TRY, REBELS, BEALE! 31-26 ...and they get that bonus point! Beale speeds over against his old club going in by the posts. O'Connor converts.
79 Rebels looking for a losing bonus-point - wide pass from O'Connor to Inman who cuts inside. Rebels have a penalty seven metres out, tap and go from Inman.
76 TRY, WARATAHS, RYAN! 33-19 The power of Paddy Ryan! The Waratahs replacement prop rumbles through the tacklers to score over on the right. Foley misses the conversion.
74 Break down the left wing for Drew Mitchell, who kicks ahead, the ball just bouncing into touch ahead of the try line.
72 PENALTY, WARATAHS, MCKIBBIN! 26-19 Last action of the day for McKibbin who adds another three points. Time running out in Sydney.

67 PENALTY, REBELS, O'CONNOR! 23-19 Penalty to the Rebels inside the Waratahs half, with O'Connor going for goal. First points of the half for the visitors.
62 TRY, WARATAHS, HOOPER! 23-16 Huge turnaround here in Sydney - Paddy Ryan got the home side over the advantage line, Folau dummies inside but comes up short, before the ball goes out to Hooper. McKibbin converts.
60 Rebels on the attack after Volavola misses the kick to touch - loose passage of play and McKibbin lands a narrow box kick down the touchline.

56 TRY, WARATAHS, FOLEY! 16-16 Driving maul from the Waratahs inside the Rebels 22 - McKibbin darts forward beyond the game line, ball to the right and Folau looks inside... TRY! The Waratahs are in. McKibbin converts.
53 Free-kick to the Tahs from the scrum - mix up between Foley and his receiver sees the ball drop but Folau kicks on. Beale finds a good touch with the response.

40 Nervy start for the Waratahs before Drew Mitchell has a howler in trying to clear. Foley scrambles and hoofs an ugly kick into touch. Shoddy start.
Half-Time Waratahs 6-16 Rebels
40 Rebels on the charge as the hooter sounds, but it's a penalty to the Waratahs who tap and go. Another penalty and another tap into the visitors half, pressure from the Rebels and the ball is lost, but we're back for the penalty offence. McKibbin going for goal.
36 PENALTY, REBELS O'CONNOR! 6-16 Waratahs again penalised and O'Connor can go for goal - another beauty and the Rebels have a ten-point lead.

25 YELLOW CARD, WARATAHS, POLOTA-NAU! Driving maul from the Rebels near the Waratahs line, but Phipps is wrapped up. Penalty advantage again to the Rebels, shrill blast and Polota-Nau is off to the bin!
24 Just a penalty and O'Connor goes for the corner. Waratahs on their final warning.
23 Good series of drives from the Rebels - but that's a nasty tip tackle from Tom Carter. Penalty, will it be a card... upstairs to the TMO.
20 Good charge from Benn Robinson for the Tahs as the host attack, but it's turned over at the breakdown by Nick Phibbs. McKibbin goes offside and the Rebels find touch.
19 PENALTY, REBELS, O'CONNOR! 3-6 No mistakes this time round for O'Connor, who gives the visitors the lead.

Kick-Off We're underway in Sydney. Waratahs with an early attacking lineout and Kingston breaks through a gap, but the ball goes loose. Penalty to the Tahs and Brendan McKibbin will line up a shot at goal.
Weather Crisp and clear in a very empty Allianz Stadium.
Team news James O'Connor has been named as stand-in captain of the Rebels for their upcoming Super Rugby clash with the Waratahs, with Gareth Delve ruled out. Kurtley Beale will start against his former side in an unchanged backline, with only one change to the bench seeing uncapped utility-back Angus Roberts replacing Alex Rokobaro.
Team news Dave Dennis leads the Waratahs - Wallabies prop Benn Robinson returns to the front row in place of Jeremy Tilse, whilst Mitchell Chapman takes over from Sitaleki Timani in the second row.

Hi everyone! I think that it's about time that I update this and again, I appreciate all the reviews and comments that you have all been leaving. Just so you know, I will have many of the canon characters making an appearance in this fic, not just Alexis and Jaden. So Jaden's got guys on him now? Can he ever have a normal day?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
Chapter 11: Un-Lucky?
Previously (Third POV):
"I have a feeling we'll be hearing from them again," he said, not at all liking the feelings I was getting from my situation or the bruise on my cheek.
It was then that he noticed a stinging in his chest and lightheadedness and looked down. He saw blood dripping from his chin to his shirt and a large gash where the knife had gotten caught in his shirt.
"Oh, crap," he muttered before passing out, sirens in the distance.
Now (Third POV):
Yubel wished that her partner wouldn't keep getting into situations like this. It had been about a half hour since Jaden's encounter with his assailant and she was watching as the paramedics were lifting him onto a stretcher to transport him to the hospital. She had known that he would make it, but in his current state, he would need medical attention if he wanted to make a full recovery.
'This is turning into a total nightmare,' she thought to herself. 'If this keeps up, he won't live to see next month.'
She had realized that he would be reckless. It was who he was, and who he'd always be. It was why she was assigned to protect him.
'He's lucky that my life force is much more resilient than a human's otherwise, I doubt he'd be okay,' she continued looking out the ambulance's window.
'I think it's time that I do some investigating,' were her final words before she would temporarily disappear from Jaden's presence.
A Few Hours Later (Jaden's POV)…
Beep… Beep… Beep…
"Ugh, what the hell happened?" I mumbled while trying to prop myself up. I could feel myself regaining consciousness, but my head was still blurry. It was as if I'd been drugged. I looked around. A hospital room. Monitors, white, and excessive cleanliness. I noticed Yubel in a corner seemingly deep in thought, yet she still noticed me.
"I did some investigating. It would appear that the man that spoke with you thinks that you're willing to do business with him for us," she said.
"And how do you know?" I asked. I wasn't sure if it was the medicine or something, but my head hurt more than ever.
"He left a calling card," she continued. "Do you know what this means?"
"Yubel, not that I usually do it, but I don't think I'm in any condition to think," I said as I felt a headache coming back on.
"It means that this guy is extremely cocky, or he thinks you're willing to sell," she replied.
"I get that feeling too," I said.
As I finished my statement, the door to my room opened and a nurse came in. She did the usual, asking me how I felt and so on, but when it was all said and done, she told me that I had a visitor.
"A visitor? Who?" I asked curiously.
"She says her name is Alexis, is it alright if I send her in?" she asked.
"Um, sure," I answered unsure of how she could have found out so quickly.
I waited a few minutes, and there was 'Lex, in the flesh. She was wearing a blue sweatshirt and some white jeans and had a worried expression on her face.
"You look like a mess, what happened?" she asked.
"Huh? Do I know you?" I asked, deciding it would be fun to play a little joke.
"I swear to God, I will hurt you if you keep this up," she glared.
"Keep what up? I haven't seen you before in my life," I said smirking.
"Wipe that smirk off your face!" she yelled before grabbing me in a semi-fierce hug.
"Okay, okay," I conceded. "How'd you find out that I was here?"
"Someone called me from your phone and told me,' she explained. "They said that since they didn't know who to contact, they called the most recent number in your history. Now will you please explain why you're here?"
"About that…" I began.
"He was attacked by a gang, the Black Dragon Gang to be exact," a new voice answered.
"Who's there?" I asked, my eyes glowing Yubel's colours.
"Axel?" I asked, completely surprised by his appearance.
"Hello," he said as he entered the room.
"He was attacked? What do you mean?" Alexis asked.
"The Black Dragon Gang is an underground organization that sells rare, stolen goods on the black market. They are a major dealer that has appeared to have begun stealing rare cards, only God knows why. I noticed that there are people watching the hospital. I'm not sure what's going on here, but whatever it is, I doubt it's good," he explained with little emotion.
"Why would they be after Jaden," she asked, more worried now than before.
"I would like to know that as well. Jaden? Can you shed some light?" he inquired.
"They're after my deck," I said.
"That would make sense, your deck is one of a kind. But how do they know you're here?" Axel said.
"How did you know I was here?" I countered.
"I put a tracking device in your duel disk, how else do you think Pegasus got a hold of you?" he shrugged.
"Wait, YOU PUT A TRACKING DEVICE IN MY DUEL DISK?" I yelled.
"Now before you say anything…" he began.
"Is everything alright in here?" the nurse asked peeking her head in the room.
"Yeah," said sheepishly. "We're okay."
"Okay, just keep it down," the nurse said before turning and leaving.
"Why would you do that? It's a total invasion of my privacy," I said.
'Way to maintain your dignity.' I thought.
"Simple, we needed contact with you just in case we needed it," he said.
"Still, that doesn't give you the right to…"
"I think that's enough," Alexis said. "We need to figure out a way to keep you safe."
"I think he's fine right now, just a little more practical fight training," Axel said before placing a card on the table and walking out.
"Why me?" I asked.
"You never cease to amaze," Alexis said.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Trouble does seem to follow you everywhere," she smiled. "Is it alright if I stay with you for tonight?"
"I don't see why not," I replied.
The next morning was relatively hassle-free. I was able to leave the hospital on the condition that I take it easy for the next few weeks. It was a Saturday too, which was a plus. One free day to hang out with the girl I love.
"So, do you have plans?" I asked innocently.
"I don't believe so, do you?" she asked with equal innocence.
"Shall we?" I asked holding out my hand.
"We shall."
It was nice out. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and people were out and about, going along in their lives. 'Lex and I spent our time walking around, just enjoying each other's company. Nothing much, just some stopping and looking here and there before continuing on.
"You're still thinking about it aren't you?" she started. A duel was going on in the park and a small crowd was gathering to watch.
"Why now of all times? I mean, everything just got more complicated than it should have be," I said as we continued on.
"Well, it is you," she smirked. "And trouble does seem to follow you wherever you go. I knew you were trouble when I first saw you."
"And what's that supposed to mean?" I cried indignantly.
"Hey! Look at that! It's a tournament!" she said, dragging me over to a poster advertising a team dueling tournament.
"Wow, I didn't realize it would be that public," I commented.
"What do you mean?" she asked with a cute, puzzled expression on her face.
"My team, you know, the one I'm on at school, is entering that tournament, and I hope I'll get a challenge there!" I said, feeling myself getting fired up.
"Slow down, tiger. The doctor said you shouldn't get too excited or you'd get hurt," Alexis laughed as she grabbed my hand.
"But I don't wanna!" I said, pouting like a toddler.
"What did I ever see in you?" she joked.
"Um, my boyish looks?" I laughed.
"Like hell," she giggled.
"My sense of humor?"
"What sense of humor?"
"My awesome dueling skills?"
"Oh, well then, what about THIS," I yelled while tackling her onto the grass.
"HEY!" she yelled taken by surprise as I began to wrestle with her. "Cut it out!"
"Not until you tell me!" I laughed.
"Never!" she laughed as we continued to wrestle.
"You know, aren't there laws against this kind of behavior out in public?" a voice said.
"I know that voice anywhere! Jesse?" I asked turning around.
The said teal haired teen smiled as he said, "Howdy! How's it been, twin?"
"It's been good, what are you doing here?" I replied.
"Well, I thought it'd be good ta' congratulate you two on what most of us knew would happen," he smirked. "If only it happened before your graduation."
"What do you mean about that?" 'Lex asked cocking her head at an angle.
"He means that…" I began before Jesse grabbed my mouth.
"Uh, I was surprised it didn't happen sooner. Hehe," he laughed sheepishly. I didn't particularly like getting cut off by a hand, even if it was my surrogate twin's, so I decided to do what any normal person would do in my situation.
"Gah! What the hell man?" Jesse exclaimed. "Why'd you lick my hand! That's disgusting!"
"I don't like getting cut off!" I said smiling like the idiot I was.
"Okay, now I know something is up. Jaden, what's going on?" she asked too sweetly.
"Uh partner," Jesse whispered.
"Yeah?" I said.
"I think she's getting ticked," he replied.
"Okay! Okay! Syrus made a bet on when we'd get together and everyone was in on it, please don't hurt me!" I said, all in one breath.
She blinked. Once. Twice. Three times.
"That's it? What were you so worried about Jesse?" she asked, completely calm. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
As we got up from our position on the grass, I could hear Alexis say quietly to Jesse, "You should tell Syrus to watch out when he goes to sleep at night."
"Jaden, are you a masochist?" Yubel asked as she materialized.
"What does that even mean?" I asked, puzzled by her choice of vocabulary.
"It means that… Know what? Never mind," she sighed. "Why didn't I ever convince him to pick up a dictionary?"
"Hey! I heard that!" I said indignantly as I heard Jesse snicker.
We spent a lot of the rest of that late morning and afternoon hanging out. Jesse told us about his trip back to North Academy, and his experiences before he'd settle down and try for the Pros or a job at Kaiba Corp. Europe. It had gotten late and we walked Alexis home since she explained that she had homework that she needed to do before Monday.
"So why are you here?" I asked as we left my girlfriend's dorm building.
"I hear what happened to you from Axel," he said, his voice turning serious. "And I thought it'd be a good idea for you to have some backup just in case."
"But I don't want you to…" I started.
"Jaden, you need a sidekick. Even heroes can't do this without some help," he smirked.
"But what if," I said.
"There are no what ifs. You're gonna need all the help you can get, and me and Axel are gonna be the ones to do it!" Jesse said determinedly.
"Now you will need to sign a liability form," I said.
"You know what those are?" he asked surprised.
"Am I not supposed to?"
"I'm just surprised you know what liability is," he laughed.
"Not funny." I glared.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I said.
"I know what I'm thinking," he replied, a grin on his face.
"Duel!" we said at the same time before grabbing our duel disks.
Alright everyone, that's a wrap. Sorry if this chapter is really short. It's meant to be a filler as I introduce the canon characters. I think that every hero needs a sidekick and Jesse and Axel were a lot of help to Jaden in the fourth season, so I figure, they'd be help when Jaden needs it.
Anyways, please tell me how this is. Reviews and criticism are great. I should have a new chapter out by the end of next week at the latest.

Evansville stabbing suspect arrested in Kentucky
EVANSVILLE - Tavon Anthony Burns, the man wanted for a stabbing that injured three people last week, was arrested in Kentucky after a traffic stop Saturday night.
According to a Kentucky State Police news release, Burns was located while traveling on the Pennyrile Parkway in Hopkins County and was arrested near the town of White Plains, Ky. He was arrested and taken to the Hopkins County Jail.
Evansville Police Public Information Office Jason Cullum said Burns was being sought on a preliminary warrant for battery with a knife.
His arrest stemmed from an incident that occurred Wednesday afternoon in the 600 block of Madison Avenue in Evansville. Three people were injured. None of the victim's injuries were life-threatening, according to police.
The victims — all Evansville residents — were identified as Dante E. Ray, 24; Deandre Stalling, 21, and Rondre C. Cook, 22. Cullum said he was unsure when Burns might be returned to Evansville, it depended on whether Burns decides to fight extradition.

AMC Loews Fresh Meadows 7
190-02 Horace Harding Boulevard,
Fresh Meadows,
16 people favorited this theater
This large theater, which sits along the Long Island Expressway, began its life on November 23, 1949. It was a giant 2,184-seat suburban movie palace serving a 3,000-family, middle income housing project in Fresh Meadows, Queens, New York.
It was constructed by the firm of Voorhies, Walker, Foley & Smith and was built for Century Theaters which had the automobile in mind when it constructed an adjoining parking lot with space for 1,000 cars.
The theater itself contained an enormous auditorium with a balcony, a large lobby and foyer, and a lounge in the theater's mezzanine.
The modern opulence of the Meadows, and its late-1940's stylings, have been lost over the years as the former Century Theatres movie house has slowly morphed into a seven-screen multiplex.
Now operated by AMC Theatres, the ghost of its former operators, Cineplex Odeon, can still be seen in the theater's marquee.
The AMC Loews Fresh Meadows 7, as it is now known, was located near a five-screen Loews theater on the other side of the Long Island Expressway that recently closed.

The new marquee is DISGUSTING. If you don't know its a movie theatre driving by on the LIE you wont now.
CinemaDude, THANK YOU for that wonderful post!
I seem to write this every few months now. A year ao I was shocked at prices here and I posted in January that the prices had gone up again. Here we are 5 months later and now the pre 11:50 am showings have risen to $8, the matinees till 3:50 have gone up another dollar to $13.25 and after 4 or so it's now $15, $19 for 3D. Is this the priciest theater in New York City for regular showings at night?
My first job was as an usher here in May 1972. We wore tuxedos and Mr. Bernard Decatsky was the manager. John Vess a was Chief of Staff with his brother Mike, Larry Ackerman and Ed Monahagn. Ed Bernhardt was managing the Prospect in Flushing and Mr Jackson was the DM. I became Mr. D'S Asst Mgr and we moved to the Prospect when it became a duplex. Eventually left and went to the Navy. Great times at this theater and at the Horn & Harare which became a Bagel Nosh. Sorry to hear that it's down on it's luck.
Back on June 3rd I made comments about the price rises and how frequent they were. Today I went to "Fury" here and before 11:55 AM the prices are $8.99. Not even a rounded up dollar. The evening showings are now $15.99, $19.99 with 3D. The theater is crowded too at these prices as opposed to say the one in Glen Cove, recently renovated and only $6 till 5 PM. That theater hardly as anyone there, biggest recent crowd I saw was 11 for the Equalizer opening week. Flushing Main Street charges $5 for the first show and it never really has many people. The girl taking the tickets told the couple in front of me that there was no more senior discount either.
According to Fandango there are senior rates still and lower rates for kids. Kids rate at night is $13.29.
Charlton Heston & Co-Star Tina Chen made a live personal appearance on opening night of "The Hawaiians", a sequel to "Hawaii" on July 17, 1970. Opening night add in Photo section.
I remember Charlton Heston and going to that movie with my father. JHS 74 had our graduation there when they were showing Ryans Daughter. Thinking back I didn't know that my first job would be there and be such a part of my life!

The debate over the construction of indoor tennis courts in West Anchorage is coming down to the wire, with last-minute meetings Monday between Mayor Dan Sullivan and Assembly members over a Tuesday vote on a state grant that has splintered the city's regular political alliances.
Several of Sullivan's usual backers on the Assembly are poised to break with him over the use of $8.5 million from the state capital budget. Sullivan is lobbying for the construction of new indoor tennis courts in the Turnagain neighborhood, while Assembly members Bill Starr, Amy Demboski and Adam Trombley are likely to support a measure that would spend most of the money on upgrades and renovations to city ice arenas.
Meanwhile, two of Sullivan's typical Assembly opponents, Tim Steele and Patrick Flynn, say they remain undecided -- with Steele hoping to craft a compromise between the two factions. The pair has been subjected to pressure from tennis players, from friendly lobbying at Flynn's neighborhood bakery, from a student petition delivered to Steele, and by an opinion piece in Tuesday's Daily News from tennis icon Billie Jean King.
"I'm at a quandary," Steele said in a phone interview Monday. "I would like to find a negotiated settlement."
The $8.5 million was part of a $37 million grant approved by the Legislature last spring. At the request of the Alaska Tennis Association and with Sullivan's support, lawmakers agreed to pay for the courts but they didn't specify how much money from the grant should be spent on them. Instead, they left that decision to the city.
The Assembly on Tuesday will consider two competing measures. One, sponsored by Sullivan, dedicates the $8.5 million to an indoor recreation center in Turnagain that would include the tennis courts.
The other, sponsored by Starr, would split the money between upgrades at three city hockey arenas and renovations to some of the city's outdoor tennis courts.
Starr and other members have complained that the request for the money for the indoor courts came without their consent, and that funding them would come at the expense of needed work at the Dempsey-Anderson Ice Arena in Turnagain, and the Ben Boeke and Sullivan arenas in Fairview -- which were built in the 1970s and '80s.
The arenas already stand to get at least $18.5 million for core renovations and upgrades to outdated components like ice-making systems, but Starr wants to add things like changing rooms, storage, a scoreboard and, at Dempsey-Anderson Arena, a new $1.75 million mezzanine level for spectators.
Sullivan maintains that his proposal includes all the renovations needed at the arenas, and that the extra upgrades in Starr's measure will get money in the future.
Sullivan said in an interview that he met on Monday with Assembly members, though he wouldn't say which ones.
He said it "looks like there's maybe some movement towards a compromise" between his measure and Starr's. But he added that he wanted to be careful about diverting money from the tennis courts.
"If you leave it short-funded, you don't have a project at all," he said. "So you've got to be cautious -- if those numbers are going to shift, it needs to be done very carefully, and judiciously."
Steele said he thought Starr's proposal had "a little bit more in it, for each facility, than I think is necessary," and was exploring on Monday whether it would be possible to strip out some of the money Starr had earmarked for the arenas and use it to partially fund the indoor tennis courts. More money could come from private sources, or even a bond issue, said Steele, who represents the district where the courts would go.
Flynn said he was still weighing the two sides.
He would prefer to use the state money to buy an existing tennis facility that the Alaska Club is already trying to sell on the north side of town, he said in a phone interview. But that option has been ruled out by state officials, who maintain that the legislative grant was intended to build new courts.
"I think we could have approached this more elegantly than we have," Flynn said. "Now we've got this somewhat convoluted situation that we're trying to muddle through without looking like goofballs, and it's consumed far more time and energy than it should have."
He said that he'd been under "nonstop" pressure from tennis players -- one of whom spotted him at a local bakery and joked about naming the facility the "Patrick Flynn Memorial Tennis Courts."
Flynn added that something "still didn't feel right" about how the money for the new tennis courts had come as part of a package in the capital budget earmarked as "Project '80s Deferred and Critical Maintenance." Project '80s facilities, like the Sullivan Arena, were built during the oil-money boom that followed construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline.
Flynn met Monday afternoon with Rep. Lindsey Holmes, who had helped get the money for the tennis courts into the capital budget in Juneau.
Holmes said she met with both Flynn and Demboski, and expected to talk with more Assembly members before Tuesday's meeting to answer their questions about the legislative process.
"It can be confusing from the outside," she said in a phone interview. "I think in the seven years I've been down in the Legislature, we've made great strides in making it more transparent." But, she added, "It's still sort of a black box, to some extent, from the outside."
Billie Jean King's support came through the efforts of an Alaska Tennis Association member who contacted the 39-time Grand Slam champion, according to Sullivan.
Her opinion piece acknowledged that there was "some opposition" to the courts but argued that the Alaska Tennis Association has been transparent about its plans.
"If you build this new indoor facility on the Dempsey Anderson Ice Arena campus, you will make a meaningful difference in the lives of your citizens -- young and old -- through tennis and increased physical activity," she wrote.
It's still unclear, however, whether King's request will be heeded by the Assembly.
Regardless of the vote, it's clear that some Assembly members are eager to get the dispute resolved. Jennifer Johnston, who represents South Anchorage, said she avoided Monday's meetings after growing frustrated with the competing proposals and questions being batted around by the Assembly.
"I said a couple of weeks ago, 'Just leave me out of this,' " she said. "I'm done."
She said she's waiting to see whether a compromise emerges but is inclined to vote against Starr's measure.

Fleet Captain
Location: Hiding under Gaila's bed...
Re: Star Trek Online Discussion Thread (now free to play!)
did the Odyssey 'mission' this morning...
honest thoughts...
the mission... pretty disappointed actually, expected something a lot harder to get the ship... took me about 5 mins max... was thinking it was going to be a proper shake down cruise, not a 'point the sensors here' then 'blow this shit up' and congratulations...
The ship... honestly, meh... possibly because i'm only on a laptop here and can't see it in all it's high res beauty, but the main model looks pretty cool, i do like how the central 'neck' actually stretches around to the saucer section, rather than a standard solid column like most other ships... bit disappointed in the skins for it, you can only have the one setup for the ship, hope they bring out some more model changes for it in future...inside the ship as well... so far the only cosmetic change i've seen is the bridge, which i'll admit looks pretty cool... definitely influenced by the new ST film with the free floating displays around the bridge layout... also, is it me or does the bridge look absolutely huge compared to other bridges?
The engineering, quarters, engineering lab, med bay, crew bar, captains ready room... they're all exactly the same skin as before, not a single change... was hoping for something special there, hopefully to see the new 'warp core' in action in engineering, but it's just the same as before...
here's hoping they add some new bits to this in future...

Although Mefferd later apologized for the method of her accusations, she did not retract the substance of the claims.
But when reporters asked him why he felt the need to retract the comment, he said, "So you all could stop asking me about it, OK?"
Editor Mark Whitaker stood by the article, but had to retract the detail about the Quran.
early 15c., "to draw (something) back," from Old French retracter (14c.) and directly from Latin retractus, past participle of retrahere "to draw back" (see retraction). Sense of "to revoke, recant, take back" is attested from 1540s, probably a back-formation from retraction. Related: Retracted; retracting.

ABSTRACT: Descending thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (DTAAD) is characterized by progressive medial degeneration, which may result from excessive tissue destruction and insufficient repair. Resistance to tissue destruction and aortic self-repair are critical in preventing medial degeneration. The signaling pathways that control these processes in DTAAD are poorly understood. Because Notch signaling is a critical pathway for cell survival, proliferation, and tissue repair, we examined its activation in DTAAD. We studied descending thoracic aortic tissue from patients with sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA; n = 14) or chronic thoracic aortic dissection (TAD; n = 16) and from age-matched organ donors (n = 12). Using western blot, real-time RT-PCR, and immunofluorescence staining, we examined aortic tissue samples for the Notch ligands Delta-like 1, Delta-like 4 (DLL1/4), and Jagged1; the Notch receptor 1 (Notch1); the Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD); and Hes1, a downstream target of Notch signaling. Western blots and RT-PCR showed higher levels of the Notch1 protein and mRNA and the NICD and Hes1 proteins in both TAA and TAD tissues than in control tissue. However, immunofluorescence staining showed a complex pattern of Notch signaling in the diseased tissue. The ligand DLL1/4 and Notch1 were significantly decreased and NICD and Hes1 were rarely detected in medial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in both TAA and TAD tissues, indicating downregulation of Notch signaling in aortic VSMCs. Interestingly Jagged1, NICD, and Hes1 were highly present in CD34+ stem cells and Stro-1+ stem cells in aortas from TAA and TAD patients. NICD and Hes1 were also detected in most fibroblasts and macrophages that accumulated in the aortic wall of DTAAD patients. Notch signaling exhibits a complex pattern in DTAAD. The Notch pathway is impaired in medial VSMCs but activated in stem cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages.PLoS ONE 12/2012; 7(12):e52833. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0052833 · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Genome-wide association study identifies a susceptibility locus for thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections spanning FBN1 at 15q21.1.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) can be inherited as a single-gene disorder, the genetic predisposition in the majority of affected people is poorly understood. In a multistage genome-wide association study (GWAS), we compared 765 individuals who had sporadic TAAD (STAAD) with 874 controls and identified common SNPs at a 15q21.1 locus that were associated with STAAD, with odds ratios of 1.6-1.8 that achieved genome-wide significance. We followed up 107 SNPs associated with STAAD with P < 1 × 10(-5) in the region, in two separate STAAD cohorts. The associated SNPs fall into a large region of linkage disequilibrium encompassing FBN1, which encodes fibrillin-1. FBN1 mutations cause Marfan syndrome, whose major cardiovascular complication is TAAD. This study shows that common genetic variants at 15q21.1 that probably act via FBN1 are associated with STAAD, suggesting a common pathogenesis of aortic disease in Marfan syndrome and STAAD.Nature Genetics 09/2011; 43(10):996-1000.

On Thursday afternoon NASA astronaut rocketed into space from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. He rode with two cosmonauts aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. It's the beginning of a nearly year-long mission aboard the International Space Station for Kelly, the first American to spend that long in orbit. The goal is to better understand the rigors of long-duration […] [Read More]
How NASA got stuck with an uninspiring asteroid mission
NASA outlined some of the details of its Asteroid Redirect Mission on Wednesday afternoon. The space agency will launch a robotic spacecraft in 2020 to visit an asteroid far away from Earth, likely 2008 EV5, grab a rock up to 13 feet across from its surface, and return to a location near the moon. Then, at […] [Read More]
The best ride in the galaxy? Coming home from space inside a fireball.
Before he left for Russia and his year-long mission to the International Space Station, Scott Kelly made a striking comment about his last time there, in 2010: "Even If I had hated the last six months, I would have done it all again for that last 20 minutes in the Soyuz." I remember thinking, six […] [Read More]
As new space grows up, a start-up rocket company gets a CEO
A lot of the new space companies with the most buzz have dotcom billionaire backers — places like SpaceX, Blue Origin and Stratolaunch. Not so much XCOR, which is building a spacecraft to take people to the edge of space. It began with four people around a kitchen table in 1999, and a shoestring budget. […] [Read More]
NASA's emboldened administrator takes on Texans in Congress
As NASA's administrator Charles Bolden is nothing if not affable. The former Marine fighter pilot and four-time astronaut, an appointee of President Obama, has taken a lot of heat from Congress and the public. Some of it he's deserved and some (like that whole Muslim thing) he probably hasn't. For the most part he's shaken it […] [Read More]
What's the last thing an astronaut says to his kids before flying into space?
Tonight NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore will land, with two Russian colleagues, in the frigid wastelands of Kazakhstan. I had the good fortune to travel to Kazakhstan six months ago to see his launch, which I wrote about in Adrift Five. For a reporter this was an intimate experience unlike covering a launch at Kennedy Space […] [Read More]
Missing his family, an astronaut captures a lovely video of the moon rising over his home
Last fall, as his two young daughters looked on from a barren steppe in Kazakhstan, Butch Wilmore launched into space. The All-American Navy fighter pilot, a former college linebacker who likes nothing more than taking his kids to the dollar movies in Clear Lake, is understandably ready to come home after six months in space.

I mean for which platform, the particular DLL can be used. For example abc.dll can be used in 64 bit platform or 32 bit platform? How can I know it?

If you have the source-code for the dll's project file, you can go to the project->properties and find out the targeted platform (x86/x64). However, please note that by default all .NET assemblies are set to target "any" platform. So, the particular dll you are referring to could be a generic one, and could be used on both type of platforms.

Clive Suckling told a conference on the future of forestry and timber in Scotland that it is important for the country to develop its indigenous industry to meet its own needs. "Scotland's timber industry is small in global terms but extremely successful, and has shown major growth in the last decade, with investment of around £50m a year coming into the sector every year," he said.
Stuart Goodall, chief executive of trade body Confor, said analysis suggested a 'trough' in supply beyond 2040.
