Sam Venable: Call it a case of squirrelly behavior
This one takes the animal behavior cake.
Even though (1) we have just endured a weird, wet, cold, unseasonable "spring" and (2) Oak Ridge has a reputation, deserved or not, for strange happenings, I've never heard of anything quite like it.
You decide —
"A squirrel came into my backyard the other day and started digging," says Jim Anderson. "He would poke his nose into the ground and dig a little more. He kept going deeper and deeper until most of his head was in the hole.
"When he pulled his head out, he slowly sat up on his back legs and fell on his back, staying there for several seconds with his white belly shining. Then he jumped up, stuck his head back in and repeated the process.
"He hopped off a bit, sat up and slowly fell over backward again. This went on for several minutes. I was too mesmerized to look for a camera."
Maybe Mr. Bushytail was swooning over the scent and/or feel of warm dirt after such a prolonged cold spell. Or, perhaps, did he discover the leavings of a long-ago still?
Whatever the case, I bet he told his buddies back at the den tree: "Wow! That sho' was some powerful good stuff!"
Come to think of it, humans have exhibited their own share of strange behavior in recent weeks.
Gayle Davis of Rutledge said she knew cabin fever had hit epidemic levels at her house when "my husband came in and found me scrubbing, for the first time ever, my dust pans."
Doc Venob recommends a recuperative trip to the Florida Keys.
In other matters:
Former Knoxvillian George Patterson, now living in New Joisey, sends this post-Easter tidbit:
"My wife attends Catholic services. She came back from Good Friday and told about a number of prayers that are not offered up any time except that day.
"They started off praying for the new pope, then worked their way down the clergy and various other groups in the church. Eventually they put in a prayer for the Jews, then people who don't believe in Christ, then people who don't believe in God, and finally politicians.
"She said the church probably didn't intend to imply a descending order to this whole thing, but we both found it amusing that politicians were ranked below atheists."
It wasn't lost on me that journalists weren't included anywhere in the mix. Or lawyers and used-car salesmen, for that matter.
Now that all the political posturing and highbrow hand-wringing have subsided, Sex Week can continue as planned at the University of Tennessee. Fine.
Al Maslin agrees that this thing suffered mainly from a bad name.
"It's like proclaiming 'Hamburger Week' at McDonald's," he said.

Henderson library receives funds to assist jobless
Special to The Gleaner
In response to the rising unemployment rate and greater demand for services by people searching for jobs, 11 public libraries across the state -- including Henderson's -- will expand services and equipment to provide the unemployed more places to look for work or polish their resumes and job-hunting skills.
The Henderson County Public Library District will receive $15,813, which will provide seven additional Internet stations and new software for the library, plus provide equipment to a mobile computer lab to be used for computer classes.
Statewide, nearly $300,000 in funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) will be administered through the Office of Employment and Training to increase the number of access points for workforce information. The libraries will provide customers with improved and expanded access to library and Internet resources.
Unemployed Kentuckians and others searching for work will be able to access information such as job listings and resume preparation training.
Others will gain knowledge about applying for government benefits, taking college classes and completing online certification programs.
Valuable workforce options such as basic computer and Internet classes, e-mail basics, online job resources and learning applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and others will be available in some areas.

I would define myself as a very sincere and unique type of guy. I say "unique" because I couldn't think that there's a simple way to define my interests or activities. I'm very eclectic; for example, my typical weekends involve physical activity (running, lifting weights), some culture like reading a good novel or a book on management and leadership. It also includes music as I am a singer in a choir, and also involves having fun with friends in a bar or restaurant as I love eating out. I'm passionate about my job which involves meeting a lot of people, traveling internationally, and practicing other languages. My family, friends and my spiritual life are very important and I'm looking for someone who shares my passion for life; someone who is conscious of her health and spirituality but fun and adventurous as well.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

Exercise, my family and friends, the sun, and music!! My favorite genres are jazz (I LOVE Billie Holiday), Baroque, and Electronic. Speaking of jazz, I really enjoy weekend evenings with wine, grapes, cheese, and some jazzy tunes in the background.
Running outdoors or lifting weights at the gym. I also love going to a coffee shop to read or have a relaxed conversation with a friend, I like music a lot, so I enjoy NOLA festivals and actually sing in a choir, oh and I love traveling!

Where's the kaboom? There's suppose to be an Earth shattering kaboom!
I'm tired of looking for love in all the wrong places.... under rocks, damp caves, abandoned mine shafts, etc. I'm a great guy! (What else would I say?) My friends would say the same thing. (They are well "rewarded") There are times I like to go out and dance and have a drink. Take a drive to the beach to watch the sunset, go to the movies, or just stay at home and relax. I'm a passionate/romantic that believes that chivalry is not dead, but that there are those out there trying to kill it! I have good sense of humor. I enjoy eating good food, and I like to try to stay in shape. (Kind of an oxymoron, huh?) My taste in music ranges from "Born This Way" to "Back in Black". I enjoy weekend getaways. I enjoy watching sports, like Nascar, Nhra, Football, and Hockey, but I'm not obsessed by it. I'm a decent amateur photographer. Sunsets are one of my favorite subjects. (See photo section) I enjoy my career in the entertainment industry which keeps me out of trouble most of the time. By the way, what's listed is my age in Internet dating years.

Mar 31, 2015
During prenatal development, the brains of most animals, including humans, develop specifically male or female characteristics.

However, scientists have known little about the details of how this differentiation occurs. Now, a new study by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine has illuminated details about this process.

Rwanda and Burundi franc
The Rwanda and Burundi franc was a currency issued for the two Belgian mandate territories of Rwanda and Burundi between 1960 and 1964.
The franc became the currency of Rwanda and Burundi in 1916, when the two countries were occupied by Belgium and the Belgian Congo franc replaced the German East African rupie. In 1960, the Belgian Congo franc was replaced by the Rwanda and Burundi franc, issued by the Banque d'Emission du Rwanda et du Burundi (Issuing Bank of Rwanda and Burundi) (BERB). This circulated until January 1964,[1] when Rwanda and Burundi introduced their own currencies, the Burundian franc and the Rwandan franc.[2]
A single denomination was issued, the 1 franc, between 1960 and 1964.
From 1960 to 1963, the BERB issued notes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 francs.[3] In 1964, Burundi overprinted all of these denominations for use in Burundi, whilst Rwanda overprinted all but the 5 and 10 franc notes for use in Rwanda.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 07 October 2011 11:20AM
The UK's largest food manufacturer today (7 October) reported heavy falls in volume sales in the three months to September 30.
The Power Brand initiative was unveiled by new chief executive Martin Clarke, who admitted that current trading had been "disappointing" and "significantly behind our expectations".
Hovis, Mr Kipling, Ambrosia, Sharwoods, Oxo, Loyd Grossman, Bisto, and Batchelors are the eight Power Brands which Premier Foods will now focus its resources on.
Premier Foods owns around 60 brands and is heavily indebted. It has put the "for sale" sign up above rest of the business, which includes brands such as Angel Delight, Mother's Pride and Robertson's Golden Shred.
In July, it was revealed that Premier Foods was trying to sell off its loss-marking ready-meals arm, Brookes Avana, as it moves to pay down its debt.
Clarke joined the business in June from Kraft, which has a similar focus on its core power brands.
In today's trading update, Premier Foods revealed that volume sales of Hovis declined 13.5% on the year. Overall volume sales fell 8% on the year.
Clarke said: "Our immediate priority is to conclude discussions with the banks to revise our banking covenants and put in place refinancing facilities. This process is well underway and we are hoping to reach successful conclusions in due course."

Sneak Peek of Castle Season 5, Episode 6, "The Final Frontier": Castle and Beckett Geek Out Over [SPOILER]! (VIDEO)
On Castle, we're used to Rick making a few literary puns, but he and Kate are going into full-on geek mode in next week's episode.
As we know, in Castle Season 5, Episode 6: "The Final Frontier," our favorite duo takes a trip to a sci-fi convention, which has Comic-Con meta storylines written all over it.
Not only will we get to hear Castle talk about double-bladed lightsabers, but we'll also hear Beckett say her fair share about sci-fi weaponry!
In a new sneak peek clip, Castle and Beckett talk geeky to guest star Armin Shimerman (of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fame) — all in the name of the case, of course!
Check out the clip below, and then share your thoughts in the comments.
Castle Season 5, Episode 6: "The Final Frontier" airs on Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

'Cats batter Eagles, wrap up 2-0 sweep
G-P offense too much for Mission in area matchup
Gregory-Portland showed its muscle Saturday afternoon, sweeping Mission from the playoffs with an impressive 12-7 win to advance to the Region IV-4A area round and a possible matchup with San Antonio Burbank.
In the two games against Mission, the Wildcats scored 25 runs and pounded out 27 hits.
"Our bats bailed us out today - we never stopped hitting the ball and it helped us out today," G-P coach Fred Flores said.
G-P opened the scoring in the first when Blake Gonzalez reached on a walk and moved all the way to third on Eric Smith's sacrifice bunt. G.K. Muhommad followed that with an RBI single to left to make the score 1-0. One out later. Muhommad crossed the plate when Richie Delagarza reached on a fielder's choice.
Mission answered with four runs in the second off G-P starter Jason Clark, using an error, a walk and a hit batter to load the bases. Alfredo Flores followed with a double to score two runs, tying the game at 2-2. One out later ,Chito Sanchez put Mission up 4-2 with a two-run double.
G-P came back with three runs in the second. Zach Wilmeth reached on an error Brad Price singled before Gonzalez cleared the bases with a double. Gonzalez scored when Muhommad reached on the second Eagles error of the inning to give G-P a 5-4 lead.
Arick Cortez upped the G-P lead to 7-4 in the third when he homered to left field after Aaron Neal had reached on the Eagles' fourth error of the game.
The Wildcats added two more in the fourth. After Nathan Rios singled and pinch-runner J.T Caldwell moved to second on a throwing error, Neal plated Caldwell with a single. Neal then stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored when Wilmeth singled to up the G-P lead to 9-4.
Meanwhile, Clark (6-4) survived the Eagles' four-run second inning and scattered six hits and struck out four to pick up the win.
"I was still kind of warming up and got rattled up early on, but I finally find my groove," Clark said. "Coach Flores told me to smile and settle down, and it worked."

Taylor Swift had an early 4th of July party. Why? Because she's better than you. I mean, let's just be honest here. Taylor Swift is riding high. She's got a sizzling career, a great bod, famous friends, and a boyfriend with abs to spare. So if you're the shallow type who keeps score over stupid shit, this is Swift scoring pretty high.
Swifty ole Swift partied with boyfriend Calvin Harris as well as besties including Gigi Hadid, the members of the band Haim, Victoria's Secret model Martha Hunt and star of Empire, Serayah, among others. No bad blood here. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE? HA. HA. HA.)
Goddamn, those are some nice abs. I usually don't care about muscles on dudes — I'm more into the sickly skinny types — but I will not deny those abs. You could serve sushi off those things.
Anyway, I would love to be invited to one of Taylor's parties. Shit seems epic. I bet she has parties for just about any occasion, too. Like Groundhog Day parties, or Flag Day parties. One of these days, I'll be there. I may not actually be invited. I may sneak through the window. But I will be there.
I know, I know, I'm a grown-ass woman, I need to calm down. I know.
What are your 4th of July plans? You partying up like Swifty? You working? Doing nothing at all? Holla, and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Teachers Can Bring a Happy New Year to the Classroom by Setting Positive Intentions
Happy New Year everyone! 2011 is here- that means students and teachers will soon be returning to the classroom and life as we know it will resume. Bringing ourselves back from Winter break can sometimes be a challenge; but setting positive intentions for the new year can bring the boost that you need to effectively manage your classroom and inspire your students. Hope this article written by a teacher for teachers will help make this year a great one….
New Teacher Tips – Setting Positive Intentions For the New Year
By Dorit Sasson
Setting daily, weekly, monthly and yearly intentions is necessary for any teacher who wants to teach successfully and with confidence. When teachers learn to set positive intentions, they find they can cope much more effectively with challenging classroom situations. But often those little voices of self-doubt tend to get in the way. I'm sure you've also heard these voices:
"I have a good class, it's just student X who's a constant discipline problem. He literally controls the class."
"These students will RUIN my lesson because of student X. Uh-oh, I have a feeling this lesson isn't going to work out…"
"This is the HARDEST class ever! It will be a miracle if I make it out of this classroom alive!"
Sound familiar? Chances are these pesky voices are also getting in the way of what COULD be a potentially successful class. When feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty start to creep into my head, I start make a mental note of those negative voices in my teaching journal. Then I focus on the positive as a way of resetting my intention.
Here's an example of using words positively:
- I KNOW I can do this!
- This new year is going to be GREAT!
- This class is going to work out even with student X's behavior.
- I'll be successful at this, I just know it!
- I have all the power and energy that I need to teach this class successfully. I've experienced success with this class before!
- No one said that teaching and managing a class would be easy.
Even with the challenges of managing a classroom, teachers can still set positive intentions. And after terrible lessons, it is possible to control those negative thoughts. And by doing so, you remain focused on what you want and let go of what you don't want. When you are able to set positive intentions consistently, successful lessons start to follow on a regular basis.
Don't wait for the new year to start to take action. Enter the new year with peace of mind, knowing you are on the path towards success! Try it!

There was one question that was asked and answered at the Fans' Forum meeting on Monday night, that explained wy Mike Ashley first bought Newcastle United Football Club, and how he is not using the club as a pawn for his Sport Direct business.
Mike Ashley – bought Newcastle to have some fun – we don't think so
Mike bought the club back in June of 2007 and he bought the club quickly by buying the shares of both John Hall and Freddy Shepherd for around £140M – so fast in fact that his due diligence was not very thorough.
And Chris Mort came in and took a closer look at the financial books, and there was a £100M loan Newcastle had, which they hadn't realized existed when they agreed to buy the club.
And Newcastle at the time were paying around £8M a year for that loan – although these days the interest rates are much lower than 8%.
That loan is now up to £129M, and we all thought it was interest free – and good for Newcastle.
But this is a significant question and answer from Monday night
"What is the saving that Sports Direct makes on advertising around the stadium?"
In reply the club released the following short statement:
"The club suggested that while it is always proactively looking to attract new commercial partners and to sell that advertising space, in the current climate it could not command a sum for that space anywhere close to the £129M invested into the club interest free by the owner."
So it seems the fact that Mike Ashley paid off all of Newcastle's loans and gave us it interest free, comes at a price.
And the price is that Sport Direct is advertised all over St. James' Park, and even in the stairwell where the teams are televised before they come out onto the field.
A large Sports Direct emblem was even placed on the field before the game last Sunday, so prevalent is Sports Direct at the stadium.
And not only is that terrific advertising for Sport Direct in the UK, but it goes around the world too.
Mike has been quoted as saying he bought Newcastle to have some fun, but there hasn't been too much fun over the last seven years, especially for the fans, and it has included our first relegation ever from the Premier League and a fight against relegation just last season.
It wasn't for fun that Mike Ashley bought Newcastle, it was to use the famous club as an advertising vehicle for his Sports Direct business.
That's not really what Newcastle should be being used for.
Is it?

Is it normal for girls to have a little hair around their butt hole?
Girls, how many of you out there have hair there? Guys, do you find it really unattractive or would it not really make a difference as long as she's... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Yes, and if you lead a healthy life and eat the right things, it will eventually go away.
Why would it go away?
- Show Older Hide Older
Yeah but I think we can all agree that hair in certain places can be a turn-off. I'm just suggesting that there may be actual, real reasons why some people have hair around their butt and some people don't. And, I have floated what these reasons might be. Take it or leave it. I'm done here.
The hair is there because many years before you idiots were born we were primates, completely covered in hair. since then we have evolved, and hair in pubic regions, asswhole, armpits, head, eyelashes, are remnants of that body hair that help to keep out nasty stuff like dirt and bugs that cause infections. Some people have more hair due to the wide genepool that is the human race. The whole bad goes in, bad goes out is rubbish.
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 4
Hmm I have,and I want to get rid of it lol,I'll shave...but never wax as waxing hurts ;)
I've shaved it before too, but it's really hard to get in there haha :P
So have your best friend do it for you, and then you shave her hard to reach spots. It may be a bit embarrassing to bring up, but if you can manage it you will both benefit.
Have an opinion?

George Na'ope Hula Festival, Displaying Hula Art, Held in Sacramento, 7/19
In conjunction with The Makanaaloha Group, Rick Makanaaloha Kia'imeaokekanaka San Nicolas will launch the 8th year of The George Na'ope Hula Festival in Old Town Sacramento from July 19-20. Rick Makanaaloha Kia'imeaokekanaka San Nicolas, the debut artist, is with the National Parks Arts Foundation as the first at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park Artist in Residence, through the NPAF.
The artist, whose bold and beautiful feather work is currently on display at the Volcano House in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and other prominent locations, will have his work on exhibit and for collection at the The George Na'ope Hula Festival from July 19-20 at the Holiday Inn Capitol Plaza in Old Town Sacramento. Admission for the entire festival is $6 -$10 for Children and $12-$17 for adults daily.
The George Na'ope Hula Festival continues the legacy of the ancient art of hula by including all categories for hula such as keiki, kane and wahine. The Wahine and Kane categories will also include Makuahine (gracious ladies), Kupuna wahine, and makuakane (elder men) and hula solo and hula group performances. All qualifying categories (3 halau or more to qualify a category) will have one first place award. Four halau entered in any category will have a runner up award and first place, 5 halau and more in any category will have a third place award, a runner up, and a first place winner.
San Nicolas is an established long-time resident of Modesto but he grew up in Hawai'i, and is founder of the George Na'ope Hula Festival. He was recently bestowed with the title of Ke Kumu Hulu Nui, "Master of Hawaiian Featherwork of Old Hawai'i" by another celebrated cultural icon, Kumu Hula John Kaha'i Topolinski.
Rick San Nicolas donated an original limited reproduction lei hulu (feather lei) to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park about the festival's namesake Uncle George Lanakilakekiahiali'i Na'ope. The original lei hulu, called Lei Kamoe, was commissioned for the celebrated Kumu Hula (Hula Master) whose life work was keeping the Hawaiian culture and traditions alive. The original adorned the 'umeke, or gourd urn, that holds Uncle George's remains.
National Parks Arts Foundation developed the Artist-in-Residence program as a way for artists to be inspired and appreciate the culture of our national parks, while giving back to the public. The NPAF programs are proposed for 15 locations in national parks and World Heritage Sites. For information, visit the NPAF website: www.nationalparkartsfoundation.org.
The NPAF believes in the promotion and recognition of the artists NPAF works with, but did not coordinate nor is affiliated with the George Na'ope Hula Festival directly.

Android sales continue to snowball. In early December, Android chief Andy Rubin tweeted that Google is now activating about 300,000 Android handsets per day, compared with 60,000 a day at the beginning of the year. Two reasons for Android's ongoing success: Cameras that range between 5 and 8 megapixels and recorders capable of capturing video at 720p HD resolution. In addition, Google has attracted a growing stable of developers to its App Market. In March, there were more than 30,000 apps for Android; in December 2009, there were 16,000, Google said. Of these, about 39% of applications are paid for and 61% of applications are free, according to AndroLib estimates.

Lucrecia Crescent
this wiki
I'm so sorry!
- —Lucrecia to Vincent
Lucrecia Crescent (ルクレツィア・クレシェント, Rukuretsia Kureshento?) is a non-playable character from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. She is Sephiroth's birth mother.
Lucrecia initially appeared briefly in Final Fantasy VII in optional scenes, but her role was expanded in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-, giving her a larger role within the Shinra Electric Power Company Science Department and crediting her with research into Chaos. More details of her became available in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-, such as her surname, her birthday (July 22), and her bloodtype (B).
In Final Fantasy VII, Lucrecia wears a closed lab coat over a red shirt and yellow tie. She wears black boots, red earrings, and has her long brown hair pulled into a high ponytail with a full, straight fringe.
Lucrecia's appearance changes for Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- where she still wears a ponytail but with bangs that resemble Sephiroth's partly covering her left eye. The top of the ponytail is wrapped in a yellow ribbon. Her eyes are chocolate brown. She wears a white, open lab coat, light blue blouse, asymmetrical dark blue skirt and red kitten heels with a silver anklet on her left ankle. When encased in crystal she is dressed in a sleeveless white dress cropped diagonally at her stomach, with asymmetrical skirts similar to her previously worn outfit, and a shawl around her lower arms.
If one looks closely in some of the Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- cutscenes, one can spot Lucrecia wearing a pair of silver dagger earrings, similar to those of musician Gackt who contributed "Longing" and "Redemption' to the game's soundtrack and served as a model for Genesis Rhapsodos.
Lucrecia suffers from a guilt complex. She has a kind and caring soul but tends to ignore the realities of her life and convince herself to believe only what she wants to believe. Being a scientist, she is prepared to take risks for her research, something she, albeit to a lesser extent, shares with her colleague Professor Hojo. She can be emotionally volatile and stubborn.
Lucrecia, once a Shinra scientist, worked as an assistant to Vincent's father, Grimoire Valentine. They discovered two Weapons developed by the Planet used as part of the Lifestream's emergency function. Together, Grimoire and Lucrecia discovered the cave where it was thought Chaos would awaken at the appointed time. The newly-discovered Chaos killed Grimoire and Lucrecia's research was discarded as nonsense.
Lucrecia was appointed to work on the Jenova Project along with Gast Faremis and Professor Hojo and Vincent Valentine, a member of the Department of Administrative Research (which would later be known as the Turks) was assigned to supervise the project. Lucrecia recognized Vincent as Grimoire's son and was shocked Shinra would assign the son of her deceased mentor to supervise her. As time wore on she began spending time with him when the two were off work, although she concealed having known his father, and the two grew close.
When Vincent found a document pulled up on Lucrecia's computer telling of her time working with Grimoire he confronted her and she revealed her culpability for his death. Vincent—not seeming to think Lucrecia was responsible as much as she did—attempted to console her, but Lucrecia's feelings of guilt only intensified straining their relationship, and she sought Hojo for comfort.
Lucrecia became romantically involved with Hojo and married him. She became pregnant and agreed to use their unborn child as a test subject for the Jenova Project. Hojo injected both the pregnant Lucrecia and her fetus with Jenova cells, but the cells had an unexpected side effect: Lucrecia would have visions of her son, Sephiroth, and of the future atrocities he would commit. The visions were so painful she often collapsed.
When Vincent confronted Hojo about Lucrecia's condition, Hojo shot him and used his corpse as an experiment, only to label him a failure and discard him. Lucrecia, devastated with Vincent's death, used her knowledge about Chaos to resuscitate him by infusing pure Mako into his body. Vincent's body, due to Hojo's previous experiments, was strong enough to become a Chaos vessel, but Chaos was out of control and only stopped when the Protomateria reacted to it.
The Protomateria, which Grimoire had discovered and which Lucrecia theorized to have been created by the Planet "out of necessity as a means to control Chaos and prolong its own inevitable fate," had been in Lucrecia's laboratory. She put it inside Vincent's chest and thus Vincent was able to control Chaos to a degree, but while it halted Vincent's decay, it did not resuscitate him.
Lucrecia gave birth to Sephiroth, but he was taken away without Lucrecia even being allowed to hold him. Hojo either left her, or she left him shortly afterward. Overcome with self-loathing and sorrow Lucrecia tried to kill herself, but not before leaving her thesis about Chaos and Omega for the still unconscious Vincent. Due to the Jenova cells in her body Lucrecia was unable to die and left her old life behind, vanishing without a trace eventually ending up in the Crystal Cave where she and Grimoire had discovered Chaos.
Years later, when the Planet is faced with destruction at the hands of her son, Lucrecia is found by Vincent when he is traveling with Cloud's party. Attempting to approach her, Lucrecia warns Vincent to stay away. Vincent experiences a series of flashbacks regarding his time spent with Lucrecia on the Jenova Project, and Lucrecia explains she felt such guilt she had wanted to disappear or die. Lucrecia tells Vincent she has been dreaming about Sephiroth a lot lately, and asks if her son is still alive. Vincent, who does not have the heart to tell her of the horrible things Sephiroth has done—and is planning to do—tells Lucrecia Sephiroth is dead.
Lucrecia remains in the cave and becomes encased in a crystal of Mako. Vincent has several visions of her attempting to communicate with him through the crystal, mostly to apologize. Though it is unclear whether Vincent is remembering an event that actually happened in Lucrecia's Cave, or whether Lucrecia is communicating with him through dreams, the apologetic message comes from her and not Vincent's own mind. Following Omega's destruction Vincent returns to the Crystal Cave and thanks Lucrecia, telling her she was the reason he survived. As he leaves the cave a tear rolls down her cheek.
It is stated in the Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- Official Complete Guide by Scenario Coordinator Hiroki Chiba and Producer Yoshinori Kitase that the crystal Lucrecia resides in is a product of Lucrecia herself, and that her imprisonment within it is self-imposed.
- Main article: Lucrecia's Cave#Death Penalty and Chaos
Lucrecia is briefly mentioned in a sidequest in Final Fantasy VII where the player can recruit the optional Vincent to the party. The player can later find Lucrecia at her cave behind a waterfall near Nibelheim after Cloud returns to the party following the Mideel events. To meet Lucrecia, Vincent must be present in the active party.
Following the event scenes the player must leave the cave and fight at least ten random encounters. Returning with Vincent his Limit Break manual and his ultimate weapon, Chaos and Death Penalty respectively, can be found at the back of the cave.
Creation and DevelopmentEdit
Lucrecia was designed by Tetsuya Nomura and initially had a minor role in Vincent's backstory, an optional character, but as Vincent became the main protagonist of Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- her role was expanded upon. Her character model was redesigned and she was given a backstory to tie her with Vincent's past in explaining she'd known his father, and was the one to have studied Chaos, a form Vincent can assume as a Limit Break in Final Fantasy VII.
Though made clear in Final Fantasy VII Vincent had feelings for her, her side of the romance was left ambiguous until Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-, where it is implied she returned his feelings. During the phrases flashing across the screen during the reunification of her data, she says "Vincent..." and "I loved..."
In the Early Material Files included with the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega guide (scenes and ideas cut or changed in the final game), Vincent's section mentions Lucrecia was originally "on Vincent's side," drugged by Hojo and forced into experimentation against her will. In the game's final version (and Compilation canon), she was a willing participant, though she is conflicted over her choice. The Early Material Files also mention she was considered an "idol" in the lab, and was the only woman on Hojo's team.
Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- contains some concept artwork for the picnic basket she carries to Vincent in a flashback, and the concept artwork shows it has a bottle of red wine. The opening FMV sequence shows a wine glass in Vincent's room containing a red liquid some decades later.
Lucrecia shares her Japanese voice actress, Rio Natsuki, with Lulu from Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. She shares her English voice actress, April Stewart, with Mjrn from Final Fantasy XII.
[view · edit · purge]The name Lucretia comes from lucrum, meaning "wealth". Lucretia was a mythical Roman figure who was infamously raped by Sextus Tarquinius. It is possible this hints that Lucrecia's relationship with Hojo was less consensual than it appeared, or it could be meant to emphasize the perverse nature of Sephiroth's conception.
The katakana for Lucrecia's name is read as Rukuritsia, suggesting her name may have been intended to be either Italian or Ecclesiastical Latin.
[view · edit · purge]In art and symbolism, a crescent is the shape produced when a circular disk has a segment of another circle removed from its edge so that what remains is a shape enclosed by two circular arcs of different diameters which intersect at two points (usually in such a manner that the enclosed shape does not include the center of the original circle). In astronomy, a crescent is the shape of the lit side of a spherical body (most notably the Moon) that appears to be less than half illuminated by the Sun as seen by the viewer.
The word crescent is derived from the present participle of the Latin verb crescere, "to grow", and was originally applied to the form of the waxing moon. One of her key plot points is Sephiroth's growth in her womb.
- "Lucretia" can be the name of a viera character in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Names for most characters are chosen at random from a pool of names.
- Crescent was previously the surname of Freya Crescent from Final Fantasy IX.

Leap to OTC paying off for Leeper
Goals change. Drastically.
Born and raised in northeast Tennessee, Blake Leeper came into this world without fibulas, but with a huge support group of family. His mother, nurse Edith Peeler, said there's a video of her son at "eight or nine months old" holding onto a walker that his uncle Reggie fashioned from a child-sized plastic shopping cart. Blake would load his toys into the basket and pretty much take them wherever he wanted.
"If there was a single day in Blake's life where he felt exasperated about it," said Billy Leeper, "he never told me."
Leeper was confined to a wheelchair for only a few weeks after his surgery. Fitted with prosthetics while in elementary school, he initially found them uncomfortable and constantly tried to take them off.
"I couldn't sit Indian-style like the other kids, and I wasn't as fast as the others," he said. "As a child, that's tough to comprehend, being different. But as I got older, I realized that's what I am as a person."
As soon as he saw older brother Kris on the basketball court outside the Leeper home, Blake insisted that he get to play, too. Eventually, he took up baseball as well, playing second base and right field. He even did some catching, playing with his artificial legs and bracing himself by keeping his non-glove hand on the ground.
When he headed just down the road to Knoxville and U-T, Leeper went with the idea of becoming a physics teacher or somehow applying both his athletic and scientific bent to the further development of prosthetics. But he'd also seen the televised races with Pistorius -- the so-called "Blade Runner" – and single-leg amputee Jerome Singleton of the U.S. sprinting on curved, carbon-fiber legs at the Paralympics in Beijing.
The Challenged Athletes Foundation provided Leeper with his own set of "Cheetah" blades, which cost $30,000, double that or more if designed for above-the-knee amputees. Because of his background in basketball and baseball, Leeper adapted much quicker than most to the apparatus that forces the wearer to a forward lean, the most difficult part being just to stand in place.
"It was insane," said Leeper, recalling his first dash down his high-school track in 2009. "I could tell, just by the way the wind was hitting my face, I'd never gone so fast in my life."
Just to see how fast, he and his family drove to the multiple-sport Endeavor Games for disabled athletes at Edmond, Okla. In his first-ever race out of starting blocks, Leeper won the 100 meters over a field that included sprinters who'd run in Beijing.
"Two weeks later, he's telling us he was invited to run in Brazil," said Edith. "I said, "You're going where?"
Enter Cruz. Representing his native Brazil in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the tall, lanky Cruz won the gold medal at 800 meters, beating the legendary Sebastian Coe of Great Britain in the process. At the time, Cruz resided and trained in the track-and-field mecca of Eugene, Ore., but severe hay fever made it impossible for him to remain there.

A boy, visiting from Washington, D.C., was disappointed though. As he stood eating cake, asked, "Where's Rob Ford? I wanted to take a selfie with him."
It is increasingly unlikely the two men can learn to work together and that's unfortunate. The current tug-of-war ensures that neither will warrant their name on a major civic square
In Norm Kelly's city hall, apparently, some people are more welcome than others, it seems.
One hopes that Mr. Kelly will welcome Rob Ford to the roundtable on Friday, as well. The future of our road network is far more important than power struggles at city hall
'If you think of the downtown area as a heart, it doesn't make sense to remove a main aorta if you are not replacing it with anything else,' Mr. Kelly told reporters
Senior bureaucrats say they will stop short of a recommendation, although the evaluation is expected to favour demolishing the section east of Jarvis Street
Ford railed against a return to the 'gravy train,' but seemed deflated. Later he proclaimed it 'the worst day' of his tenure, saying, 'We could have saved $60-million like that'
Staff estimate the city will have to put up $1-million for a 'more detailed' assessment of the pros and cons of hosting the Summer Olympics
Linda Jeffrey met with mayors and regional chairs and said she heard 'loud and clear' that they are looking for answers quickly
'My biggest question is why isn't the premier there tomorrow. Instead of sending a minister I would go personally and listen' Rob Ford said

Spring Forward, Pause, Cook Weeds
It's here! The SUN, the first of dafodils, tulips, and cherry blossoms and anticipation of all that is to come. Spring is upon us and quite possibily the happiest time to transition into new projects and possibilities.
I am currently packing up four years of our lives in our little basement apartment and moving into a new house with natural light and space to grow and see clients. Meanwhile, I'm taking on more projects, clients, and classes. All of this growth and transition only seems to only be feasible because the city is in bloom and giving me the energy needed to step up.
In honoring the spirit of the season and keeping up my energy, I'm incorporating more detoxifying bitter leafy greens and sprouts, and cutting back on dairy, foods with gluten, and other foods that cause heaviness and congestion in the body. This is a great time of year to experiment and try any vibrant greens that are new to you in the produce section of the grocery store. While you're experimenting, try dandelion greens, a natural diuretic and anti-inflammatory that is rich in beta-carotene, potassium and other nutrients, making it a highly coveted plant in herbal medicine. For a suggestion on how to make this ultra cleansing green downright scrumptious, check out my March recipe – hindbeh, a rich, piquant, Lebanese dish that I fell in love with when I was in Beirut last spring.
As always I would love to hear from you. Be well and I wish you a joyous and balanced spring season.

"At The Earth's Core" and "Pellucidar" in one eBook! Both books complete and unabridged. In the first book, when David Innes accompanies his friend, the eccentric scientist Abner Perry in his newest invention, a rocketship shaped "mole" designed to penetrate the Earth's crust, he never dreams broken controls will send the two of them all the way to a strange word at the Earth's core. There human beings are still at a primitive state of development, and are enslaved by, and used for food by the Mahars, a race of near-immortal, telepathic pterodactyls. Taken prisoner David and Perry make friends and enemies. Then David falls in love with the primitive, beautiful cave woman, Dian, and finds a reason to lead his fellow prisoners in a hopeless revolt against the Mahars of Pellucidar. But when he attempts to return to the outer world, Dian is kidnapped and he ends up alone on the Earth's surface. In Pellucidar, David and Perry return to the inner world to find Dian, but emerge thousands of miles from their destination. With their "mole" wrecked, they must battle their way across savage Pellucidar--and only then will they be beginning their long search! Both books complete and unabridged--over 900 pages in hardcover.

mLED, a spin-out from Strathclyde University's Institute of Photonics, has raised the funds through a loan note taken up by the university, a fund run by the Scottish Investment Bank and members of the firm's technical advisory council.
The company has raised £1.5 million in four funding rounds since its launch as a stand-alone company in 2010. It plans to bring in further cash next year to coincide with its products entering the commercial stage.
Its LEDs can be used in wearable technology and other consumer electronics. The bright, low-energy lights have applications in augmented reality devices such as Google Glass, which display interactive images through a headset.
"We believe that the commercial traction that we are now seeing in North America, Europe and Asia plus the welcome given by key players in the burgeoning wearables market to CTO Jim Bonar's low-power-consumption micro-display technology road map are indicative of a very exciting future for mLED," said chief executive Seonaidh MacDonald in a statement.
Mr MacDonald joined the firm in September 2013. mLED also signed up Dr Tom Baer, a professor of applied physics at the University of Stanford and a visiting professor at Strathclyde University, as a non-executive director this summer.
Chairman Nick Kuenssberg, who also runs textiles group Scott & Fyfe, said the fundraising "speaks volumes for the progress that mLED is making."
He said the firm expects to have "some exciting good news" about customers and funding early next year.

The various rooms, cabins, and houses here surround a garden of flowers and cacti; all accommodations are built with traditional local materials—adobe, cane, wood—and are decorated with a contemporary eye. A similar aesthetic is reflected in the restaurant, which is one of the best in town. The small pool is so warm you can even take a dip on a cool evening.

Hotel Details:
Updated 08/13/2014
Jan 3, 2012
When we opened the door to our room on arrival it was the last time the lock was operable as it was jammed and the staff was not able to repair it and remained locked during our visit. Lucky for us there was a rear door that we were able to use to enter and exit our room. The room had a little more furniture than a jail cell, no temperature control and it was the same as staying in a sauna and the room had flies flying around which I was able to
rid most of them. The so called unprofessional management and the staff appeared to all be under 30 years old and showed no guest interaction with an outward attitude that they did not care whether we stayed at La Comarca or not. As it was Christmas Eve we had no choice except to dine at the Hotel and were charged the equivalent of $USD 50.00 per person for a meal that was less than adequate for value received. Breakfast which was included was no better. Upon check out there was no mention or apologies by the morning manager of the problem of the locked room door and no effort to show a gesture of good will to adjust the hotel bill. The Hotel is well located but it is evident that the property is run by absentee owners who should be embarrassed that they think this Hotel can roboticly run itself with untrained staff. I recommend that this is one property to avoid in the area and there are other better choices of hotels there.
No Thanks

James Bay 2009
Summer Solstice in the Quebec Far North.
The first picture was taken at 10 pm, not 10 am, without a flash, and no, I did not adjust the watch just for the picture. This was a main reason for going on June 21st - to experience the longest day of the year in the Quebec Far North. The longest day of the year is REALLY long up here. It was not dark until just before midnight when the sun set over the bay, and came up behind us again only a few hours later.
Back to the beginning of the story. I had read a few ride reports about guys heading up to James Bay - the scenery is awesome, the road is paved most of the way, there is very little traffic, and you can get to what is essentially the Arctic Ocean. The water is salt water and bloody cold.
I had met Dyno on one other organised ride last fall. We knew our bikes and riding styles were compatable, and we were both posting on the local Toronto ADV site. This was on Thursday - Friday night Dyno was at my house in Aurora, ON and we left on Saturday morning. Not a lot of preparation time or time to second guess the `Sudden Summer Solstice Tour`as Dyno dubbed it.
Saturday morning the rain was coming down in buckets.
Our bikes were the right ones for a high speed blast up the James Bay Highway.:evil
The ride North for the first 3 hours was in pouring rain. No pictures - Dyno said we would ride out of it, and we did. By the time we hit North Bay there was nothing but blue skies for the rest of the trip.
The route would be pretty much straight north and a little east from Aurora, ON to Chisisabi, QUebec. It is 1,650 km each way, to be done in 4 days.
We did come across some loose gravel, and a lady standing in the middle of the road flagging us down. Seems she lost control and ended up in the ditch.
My French is very poor, and her English was even worse, so we were having trouble communicating, when along came another family that could speak French. She dropped us like yesterdays news and hopped in the car with the French speaking family. Oh well, c èst le vie.
The first night was spent in a campground in Matagami, Quebec, about 9 hours and 900 km so far. Already it was noticably lighter at night. THis picture was taken at approx 10 pm.
The James Bay Highway starts here. It is about 700 km to Radisson, Quebec, and there is NOTHING in between. You have to register at the beginning of the highway and tell them when you are coming back. Not sure what they will do if you don`t come back.
The highway was built for the construction of the large hydro dams farther north. It is a big, beautiful, well maintained road through the wilderness that sees very little use now. There is a posted speed limit of 100 km, but it is not enforced, and NO one drives or rides at that speed. Besides, we saw almost no one on the Sunday driving up to Radisson.
It looks like some of your photo links aren't appearing.. looking forward to the rest of the trip.. and all your pics :thumb
Sweet! I really want to go there.
The James Bay Highway is a biker's dream!
It is about 400 km to the only gas station - you really need to carry extra gas. When we did fill up at the mid way point, we calculated that, with the extra 3.5 litres we put in my bike, I could have made it with my 25 litre tank. Dyno would not have made it with his 22 litre tank. We also discovered that at "normal" driving speeds, the V-Strrom 1000 and the BMW 1100 got very similar mileage. At high speeds, the BMW got much better mileage than the V Strom.
It's a long lonely highway
The obligatory ADV salute!
There were information boards along the highway, and I felt guilty for blowing past them and thought we should stop and get a little educated about the highway, the surroundings, etc.
But the signs were all in French and Cree. We could not read either, so we didn't stop for anymore information boards. Dyno, being from the States and all, said the signs should be in ENGLISH!!
The scenery is changing - the trees are getting thinner as we get farther north
Now this kind of scenery for hours on end would likely be boring in a car.
On a bike this was a BLAST! The road just kept going, nice long sweeping turns. No worry about cars backing on the road, or people walking.
What?!! No Tim Horton's drive through?
We made coffee on the side of the road with Dyno's Jetboil - awesome coffee and beautiful surroundings to enjoy it!
At the shores of James Bay itself
1 Attachment(s)
We were up there from Boston 2 weeks back. Great weather. We went out out to Chisasibi, and then down about 12 miles of washboard gravel road, and you can get right to where the locals keep their boats and stick your toe in James Bay. Made the 60 miles across 1005 out of Matagami seem like a walk in the park.
We came back down on Sunday 6/15, may have passed you going up...
Next stop was the Rupert River. Amazing, wild, raging river.
This river will be damed this fall and diverted to make more hydro. We talked with some guys headed up river for a fishing trip. They were from Amos, Quebec, about 6 hours south of here. They have been coming every year for the last 13 years, - several dads and their adult sons. I commented that they must be sad to see this river being diverted and losing their traditiaonl fishing spot. They were much more pragmatic - they said that only 60% of the water will be diverted so it would still look similar for the tourists, and they could find another fishing spot. They felt the hydro generation was more important. You really get the sense that many people and businesses rely on the revenue generated by the hydro. This gentleman indicated that the water would actually fall through 3 different generating plants on its way to James Bay, so they were making very good use of this resource.
Bridge over the Rupert River.
Someone had painted on the railing of the bridge; "We don't own the land, we are just borrowing it from our children'. This, to me, was a protest against diverting the river. A project of this magnitude is going to cause lots of debate.

He was assassinated by treacherous comrades in 1987. The exhumation of his body could shed light on the circumstances of Sankara's death, and breathe new life into his program for African liberation.

Melbourne 3, Sebastian River 0: Defenses dominate from start
MELBOURNE — In a matchup of 2011 Class 6A playoff teams, defense was the name of the game — and Melbourne played it better as it shut out Sebastian River 3-0 in the preseason Kickoff Classic Friday night at Bulldog Stadium.
After forcing a Sharks punt in the game's opening series, the Bulldogs ground out a 10-play drive that culminated in Pat Brush's 22-yard field goal with 5:01 remaining in the first quarter. Running back Jeron Bell paced the methodical attack with 21 yards rushing on five carries.
The tightly-fought defensive contest led to offsetting personal foul penalties with 2:14 remaining in the third quarter following a short run by the Sharks.
Sebastian River quarterback Hakeem Rainey followed the penalties with a perfectly-executed screen pass for 25 yards to running back Octavian Jefferson to get to the Bulldogs' 30, but the Melbourne defense stiffened and held on downs.
Melbourne head coach Todd Wilson used both quarterbacks in the contest. Playing the first half and fourth quarter, senior Sterling Munich rushed for 30 yards. Parker Kempfer completed one pass for seven yards and ran for five yards in the third quarter.
"They are a really a good football team, they beat us up front and they outplayed us, but in the end, you find a way to win," Wilson said. "I was proud of us defensively, but we've got to do better offensively. Both quarterbacks did some good things and made some mistakes; we'll look at film and figure it out."
In addition to the game-winning field goal, Brush boomed a trio of punts 46, 47 and 60 yards to keep the Sharks' offense pinned deep in their own territory throughout the second half.
"I thought we played well enough to win; defense put us in great position all night," said Sebastian River head coach Randy Bethel. "But I can't defend a punter who can kick it 70 yards; he flipped the field on us twice."
Crosstown rival Palm Bay proved to be nemesis for both teams in last season's playoffs; eliminating the Sharks 41-20 in the regional quarterfinals and the Bulldogs 34-24 in the regional semifinals. Sebastian River finished the season at 5-6 while Melbourne was 9-3.
Sebastian River opens the season against rival Vero Beach at 7 p.m. Friday at the Citrus Bowl.
