Which candidate will keep his head?
Sep 29, 2008, Vol. 14, No. 03 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . . ," then you could be the next president.
When John McCain was young, English teachers everywhere were seeing to it that their charges memorized Rudyard Kipling's "If." McCain seems to have taken the poem to heart--especially over the last couple of years.
McCain kept his head and refused to throw in the towel in Iraq at the end of 2006. He kept his head and defended the surge when other Republicans were going wobbly early in 2007. He kept his head and pushed forward with his campaign when it was being written off in the summer of 2007. He kept his head and made key changes when his campaign seemed to be floundering a few months ago. And he kept his head and took advantage of the opening Barack Obama provided by not picking Hillary Clinton when he made the bold selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.
This past week, though, McCain seemed to lose his head in reaction to the admittedly head-spinning financial news. First he said the economic fundamentals were strong; then he emphasized that it was a really bad crisis. First he sounded calm and deliberate; then he called, without really explaining why, for the firing of SEC chairman Christopher Cox. First he said we shouldn't bail out AIG; then he said it was reasonable to bail out AIG. First he emphasized that this was a time for bipartisanship; then he unleashed attacks on Barack Obama and the Democrats.
All in all, it was a poor week for the McCain campaign (though the candidate did begin to right the ship with a sensible speech Friday morning in Green Bay). To be fair, the right response to the financial crisis wasn't so clear, either substantively or politically. Obama played it smart by basically doing and saying nothing--and simply seized on McCain's mistakes. McCain's flailing allowed the Obama campaign, which had been off balance for almost a month, to regain its footing.
But that was last week. This week features the first debate, Friday night in Oxford, Mississippi. When an incumbent is running for reelection, history suggests that, by the time of the debates, all but a few voters will have already made their minds up. This year there's no incumbent, and the debates will be watched by many voters (perhaps as many as 20 percent) who remain undecided or have only a weak preference.
Think of recent nonincumbent elections: 2000, 1988, 1976, 1968, and 1960. (I'm counting 1976 as "nonincumbent" because it was the first time Ford was on a national ballot.) There was no debate in 1968, but in three of the other four elections, the debates made a difference: Gore's bizarre performance in the first debate in 2000 allowed Bush to open up a lead which he (barely) managed to hold despite a terrible closing week. Ford's error on the status of Poland in the second debate in 1976 slowed his comeback sufficiently to allow Carter to hang on. And Kennedy's ability to thrust and parry evenly with Nixon (and to look better on television while doing so) may have made the difference in 1960. Even in 1988, the only recent not-close nonincumbent race, Dukakis's answer to Bernard Shaw's question about an attack on his wife probably sealed his fate.
Friday night's debate is supposed to focus on foreign policy. Obama has the easier task. As the less experienced candidate, trailing already in polls on the question of who is more trusted in foreign policy, he wins by holding his own, or coming close to holding his own. The Obama campaign's theory is that if Obama can be reassuringly sound and plausibly acceptable as a potential commander in chief, he'll win the election, given all the other advantages he has this year. Their model is 1980, when a relaxed and confident Reagan sparred comfortably with Carter in their one debate of that campaign, reassured voters he wasn't too risky a choice, and then surged to an easy victory in a year of change.
McCain has a trickier task Friday night. He'll be tempted to tout his foreign policy experience. But claims of wisdom based on experience alone tend not to impress the American people--(viz. Al Gore in 2000, George H. W. Bush in 1992, Jimmy Carter in 1980, passim). Instead, McCain needs to alarm voters about Obama's dovishness--reminding them of his opponent's misjudgment of the surge, for example--and tie around his neck all the stupidities of the woolly-minded Democratic party. He might want to mention in this context Biden's rich career of misjudgments on foreign policy (against Reagan's defense buildup, against the first Gulf war, flip-flopping on Iraq, silly talk on Iran--and more!), and cite the tough words uttered not so long ago about Obama's naïveté and weakness by the woman Obama passed over as his running mate.

Craig Williams, who steered the great Australian Miss Finland to over $4 million in prize money before sensationally and publicly sacked from riding her two weeks back, was smiling broadly half way down the stretch in the group I Futurity Stakes at Caulfield on March 1.
Partly because he was on perennial group I place-getter Niconero, who was humming with a furlong to go. But mainly because Miss Finland was in his wake and had no chance of catching him.
Niconero (Danzero-Nicola Lass), roared home from second last on the home turn, down the center of the track, to win the Aus$700,000 one mile affair drawing away. Longshot Cargo Cult (Spectrum-Cult Figure) battled on gamely for second, two lengths behind the winner while fallen star Miss Finland improved on her recent efforts for third. She came from last on the bend and her run was eye-catching. But Williams was as happy as a pig in mud by beating her home.
Williams had ridden her to 11 wins -- five at group I level -- but to beat her was satisfying. David Hayes trains both Miss Finland and Niconero.
"I'm just so pleased for this horse, I think he's run six group one placings in the last twelve months, so to win that was just fantastic and to win so decisively was actually quite a soft win," said Hayes, who quickly added, "I was surprised with the way that Niconero dominated Miss Finland though. She sat behind him but he kicked away from her in the straight."
Hayes had told the media the day before that he thought Miss Finland was back to her best and would win. Hers was a terrific run but connections will decide if she retires or continues on for the 10-furlong Australian Cup (AUS-I) at Flemington next week. Part owned by leading breeder John Messara, Miss Finland was to be retired from racing if she didn't win the Futurity.
A decision was expected within the next 48 hours.
Hayes provided three out of the first four place-getters with Molotov running a cracking race under the unsuitable weight-for-age conditions to finish fourth, a half-head behind Miss Finland.
Hayes suggested he'd probably aim Niconero at the Australian Cup and stepping him up to 10 furlongs for just the second time. This time last year in the Australian Cup he failed beating just two home.
Shinzig, a group I winner in his last start, ran a game race for fifth. "I think the edge was taken off him a bit first-up when he won and I think that I had him a bit close to the leaders this time. So there are a few things they can look at but I wouldn't be too worried about him," rider Steven Baster said.
The overall time was a handy 1:34.77, only .49 outside the class and track record held by Fields of Omagh.
The last three furlongs was run in 34.99 seconds with the winner recording the fastest last sectional of the race, running it in 34.13 seconds. Miss Finland's last 600 was run in 34.41 seconds.
Niconero has now won 10 of his 41 races and AUS$1,794, 680 in purses thus far.

NBC's Tim Russert said that of the 80,000 people who showed up in Philadelphia yesterday, "probably all of them" had come to see Clinton. Asked if surrogates like Clinton on the Democratic side and Rudy Giuliani on the Republican side can work, Russert said, "This race is so tight that if it can affect one half of one percent, it works." Russert said Clinton still thinks Kerry can steal Arkansas. Russert called Hawaii "nip and tuck" and noted that the Bush people "think they can steal it." Lauer said Bush thinks he can steal Michigan. Russert: said Kerry thinks he can steal Colorado. But putting aside those possible steals, NBC had an Electoral Map that showed Bush with 222 Electoral Votes to Kerry's 207. Russert then ran through a series of permutations for how Bush and Kerry can get to 270. Russert agreed with Lauer that it worries Bush's campaign that first time voters prefer Kerry by a 59 to 40 margin. But he noted that Republicans are hoping that undecided voters, which usually break for the challenger, will go for the incumbent this time because of concerns about terrorism. Russert said there are 300,000 newly registered voters in Ohio. Russert is expecting a huge turnout. Asked if the missing weapons story was an explosive story, Russert said, "It sure is." He said someone in the Bush Administration told him "we're running against the clock." Russert said yesterday's report was "not good" because it controlled the news cycle and allowed Kerry to talk about the mismanagement of the war in Iraq.
ABC's Claire Shipman took a substantive look at what impact a Bush or Kerry win would have on future Supreme Court decisions on things like affirmative action and abortion. As for the politics, Shipman said conservatives and Republicans tend to be more animated by judicial choices than Democrats.
NBC's Pete Williams says it will be hard to get more than a moderate on the Supreme Court.
On CBS' Early Show, Amy Walters of the Cook Political Report said she thinks Rehnquist's illness will help generate their bases.
CBS' Jim Axelrod: "The biggest crowd of John Kerry's fall campaign turned out for a two-fer in Philadelphia—Kerry and former President Bill Clinton, seven weeks from bypass surgery…. He wasn't in full Elvis. His face was pale. His voice a little soft. He seemed to be keeping something in check as he expressed support for Kerry…. He still is the best thing the Democrats have in rallying two groups Kerry needs a week from today: women and minorities… Kerry spent the day hitting the President hard for the loss of 380 tons of explosives missing from a site in Iraq the US military was supposed to be guarding."
NBC's Campbell Brown: Recapped Clinton, Giuliani and Kerry's weapons charge. She then said: "With the race so close in the most crucial states, like Ohio, voter turnout is a top priority. Republicans plan to put more than 3,000 monitors at polling places on election day claiming Democrats have illegally registered new voters here. Democrats counter the Republicans' real intent is to create long lines and discourage people from voting, especially minorities. There are a lot of concerns here on the ground in Ohio that there might be efforts underway by the two sides to steal the election."

Notes & Reviews:
Making full use of Drottningholm Theatre's unique 17th century Baroque theatre machinery, as well as his deep creative understanding of the profound drama of the work, stage director Pierre Audi creates a production of Zoroastre that completely accords with the spirit of Rameau. True to the form of the tragedie lyrique, choreographer Amir Hosseinpour's dances perfectly match the weight and meaning of both plot and music. The ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, reinforced with musicians from the Drottningholm Court Theatre Orchestra and Chorus, is expertly and passionately led into the musical stratosphere by musical director Christophe Rousset. This intensely dramatic production is captured live in vibrant High Definition video and true surround sound.Notes & Reviews:

Warriors Gear Up For New Baseball Season
Story By: Jeff Alan
Originally Published on: 3/21/2013
After going undefeated during the regular season in baseball, winning a North Central Conference championship and an AP Poll title with an overall record of 25-1, the Ontario baseball team is gearing up for the start of the 2013 season. Coach Dan Gorbett lost three seniors from last year's squad which featured All-Ohio first teamer Drew Steinhour.
For 2013, several players are coming back which include seniors Tyler Beal, Wyatt Clemens, Justin Henry, Mitch McCristall, Vinny Sansalone and Nicholas Stumpf. Gorbett hopes his teams defense is as good as what it was a season ago when the Warriors committed just 28 errors in 26 games. He says pitching and defense so far this season has improved as best he can tell without getting outside due to the weather. As far judging how good the team is at this point is tough having not been out on the infield or outfield much. Also most of the hitting has been confined to indoor batting cages.
The Warriors will open the season, weather permitting on Saturday, March 30th at Mansfield Senior. The team will then play six non-conference opponents before opening the NCC portion of the schedule on Monday, April 15th against Upper Sandusky. One of the goals of this year's team is a return trip to the regionals after seeing last year's 25 game winning streak stopped by Edison by a final of 9-4 in the Division III district semifinal.

Matt Harrison and the Texas Rangers avoided arbitration in a big way Wednesday. The left-hander and the club agreed to a five-year, 55-million deal through 2017 that also includes a club option for 2018 according to a source. Harrison passed his physical Wednesday. Harrison, who is coming off an All-Star season, was eligible for arbitration and could have been a free agent following the 2014 season. That won't be the case now for Harrison, 27. He was the team's pitcher of the year last season, winning a career high 18 games with a 3.29 ERA. He set career highs in wins, ERA, starts, complete games, shutouts, innings pitched and strikeouts. He was the American League pitcher of the month for June. With Harrison locked up long term, the club now has four-fifths of its starting rotation under contract for at least the next four seasons. Derek Holland signed a deal last year that keeps him under contract through 2016 with the club holding options for 2017 and 2018. Alexi Ogando won'...

A computer analyst for the City of Milwaukee's Health Department has been indicted in federal court on accusation of selling methamphetamine, according to court documents.
Jeffrey Hussinger was one of four people indicted in Milwaukee earlier this month. Hussinger is on administrative leave from his position, according to federal court records. Health Department spokeswoman Sarah DeRoo did not return calls on Hussinger's status.
A message on Hussinger's city cellphone said it was disconnected. His attorney did not return a call for comment Friday.
He has pleaded not guilty, and a trial has been set for November. He has been released on bond.
According to Hussinger's LinkedIn site, he has worked at the city since 2004. His total annual pay is $58,203, according to city records and posted by JSOnline's Data on Demand
Hussinger, 47, was a reader advisory committee member for the Journal Sentinel several years ago.
The indictment does not provide much detail of the case against Hussinger and the others. It says the drug dealing occurred between February and September of this year. Other defendants are Jeffrey Braun, James Haessly and Spencer Lewis.
Each faces charges of conspiracy to sell methamphetamine and distribution of a controlled substance. If convicted, each faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas in Milwaukee investigated the case. It is being prosecuted by the U.S. attorney's office.

It has been revealed that the hot food bought from bakeries and supermarkets will be charged at 20% VAT. The Chancellor, George Osborne has increased the costs of all hot takeaway foods.
He stated that the increase was necessary in order to end up the deviation from what was standard, normal or expected. Moreover, he expects that this new proposal will further simplify the tax rules.
This would increase the cost of 90p hot sausage roll to 108p and 30p more will be added to pasty costing £1.49. According to statistics, if the increase continues to be in this way, it will raise £125million more by the end of this year and £350million a year by 2016.
However, the proposal sent to the retailers was creating confusion as the VAT charges were applicable only if the food sold was hotter than the surrounding air temperature, at the time of sale. But the case doesn't stay true when the same items were sold cold; the VAT charges were not applicable at that time.
However, the proposal is set to be implemented by this October. Moreover, VAT charges will even be introduced on sports drinks.

Wehlage et al., 1996; Wiggins and McTighe, 1998). A poignant example is the finding that low teacher expectations for academic performance of ethnic minority children conveyed in teacher-student interactions in elementary schools lead to alienation from learning experiences and underachievement (Jackson and Davis, 2000; Fisher et al., 1998; Romo and Falbo, 1996). In the workplace, adolescents in jobs that use their skills show more positive outcomes than those in unchallenging jobs (Mortimer et al., 1999).
Although less likely to involve longitudinal designs, research with community programs suggests similar relations. Participation in decision making is correlated with positive developmental outcomes, such as a sense of sharing and respect for others (Dryfoos, 1990; Gambone and Arbreton, 1997; Lipsitz, 1980; Merry, 2000; McLaughlin, 2000). In school settings, the opportunity to participate in making and enforcing school rules leads to an increase in students' willingness to follow the rules and in their attachment to the school (Darling-Hammond, 1997). Adolescents in youth-centered activities develop new cognitive skills that increase their confidence and ability to make positive decisions (Heath, 1999; McLaughlin et al., 1994). For example, a group of adolescents who planned alcohol-free activities showed less subsequent alcohol use (Scales and Leffert, 1999). Similarly, the experience of challenging activities predicts greater likelihood of participating in a community program for youth and less high-risk behavior (Dryfoos, 1991; Gambone and Arbreton, 1997; Merry, 2000). A description of what it means for a community program to be youth centered is provided in Chapter 5 (see also McLaughlin, 2000). Finally, both longitudinal survey-type studies and experimentally evaluated small-scale intervention studies have shown the positive consequences of participating in a wide variety of well-designed community service activities (Dryfoos, 1991; Merry, 2000; Lipsitz, 1980; Scales, 1999; Youniss, 1997; Yates and Youniss, 1999).
The notion that this feature must fit with the adolescents being served is particularly important here. For a setting to support efficacy and the sense that one is making a useful contribution, it must be developmentally and culturally appropriate. Most young adolescents are not cognitively or emotionally ready to take full responsibility for a community program. Empowerment involves gradually increasing freedoms and responsibilities as young people mature (McLaughlin, 2000; Scales and Leffert, 1999). Culturally, a setting must be attuned to the level and modes of efficacy and mattering that are normative in the adolescents' larger cultural system. As we noted earlier, people differ in the amount of value

It is easy to look at Notre Dame's 14-37 setback at home against Stanford with a growing sense of uneasyness. In fact, many Irish fans are already panicking, calling for the resignation or firing of first year coach Brian Kelly. Yet Notre Dame is beginning to win where it matters most: in the moral category.
No, I am not talking about a moral victory from the outcome of the game, such as Manti Te'o getting 20 tackles or Dayne Crist throwing for 304 yards and only 1 interception in 44 attempts.
I am talking about moral victories. Period.
Notre Dame is supposed to be the premiere Catholic university in the nation, yet there have been over 100 incidents of students getting caught drinking and partying this semester alone. The Irish student body is more convict than Catholic, a far cry from the proud past of this once glorious institution.
Irish fans under former coach Weiss got into a habit of following his unethical lead of blaming everyone but himself and his players. The refusal to accept personal responsibility largely accounted for many of the problems facing the program to this day.
Everything the university stands for is now tarnished by arrogance, ignorance, and a general lack of accountability.
Kelly has taken some big steps towards overcoming those flaws. He did not back away from the pre-season drinking scandal that enveloped his team. He refused to blame officials for his team's loss at Michigan State. He has been honest about his team. He is changing the culture for the better. He is winning the only battle that ultimately matters.
Championships will come with time. But champions of life need to be nurtured and taught the moral lessons to become truly great men and women. These victories may go unnoticed by most fans, but they should be respected above any other victories. They are the gains and the promises and the outcomes that matter most.
And Kelly uses his leadership to teach these students how to win these battles which arise in daily life. Kelly is coaching champions off the field, even if the team struggles to win on the field. In my book, he has already won.

SEC closes investigation of Apple's foreign cash pile
updated 10:54 pm EDT, Fri October 4, 2013
No laws broken, no action to be taken as foreign sales mount
The SEC investigation of Apple's foreign cash holdings and whether the company was dodging -- legally or otherwise -- any tax responsibility to the US has closed with the agency planning to take no further action on the matter. Following somewhat fiery hearings in Congress that some say used Apple as a scapegoat for the wider issues of US companies taking advantages of tax loopholes -- which Congress inserted into the tax code in the first place -- the agency appears to have found Apple doing nothing wrong within the boundaries of the current law.
Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared before a Congressional sub-committee in the spring to testify about Apple's tax payments and foreign cash, which at the time was estimated to be around $40 billion. Despite wild claims by committee chair Carl Levin that Apple had an "elaborate system" in place to avoid US tax responsibilities, Cook told Congress that the company does not plan to repatriate the money into the US because of some 30 percent or more additional US taxes that would have to be paid on it, in addition to the taxes already paid on the earnings in Ireland, where Apple maintains its primary non-US administrative headquarters. He also denied strongly any suggestion that the company was taking advantage of loopholes, and dismissed accusations that Apple had a "special deal" with Irish authorities for the lower tax rate there.
Ireland's corporate tax rate is 12.5 percent -- substantially lower than the US theoretical top rate of around 39 percent (though very few companies pay that rate). Apple's US tax rate for a number of years has hovered around the 25-26 percent mark, and many large US corporations essentially pay little if any tax at all after subsidies and write-offs. According to a report from the non-partisan Government Accounting Office, the overall average effective tax rate for US corporations is 12.6 percent.
The investigation confirmed what Cook told Congress -- that as Apple continues to make more of its money from non-US markets, its balance of foreign cash comes almost entirely from those sales and are reinvested in non-US operations. The company told the SEC in its inquiry that Apple pays normal US tax rates on its US earnings, which are more than enough to fund the company's activities. Apple has taken on some debt in part to drive its recent stock buyback and shareholder dividend programs, but ironically could borrow cash to pay for those incentives at far lower rates if it had used repatriated foreign-earned funds.
Cook specifically noted during his testimony before Congress that Apple doesn't engage in "tax evasion" strategies espoused by other US companies, such as moving intellectual property and staff into offshore tax havens, or have its foreign subsidiaries "loan" money back to the US headquarters. The SEC investigation appears to have come to the same conclusion, and exonerates Apple of any ethical or legal wrongdoing.
Apple estimates that it will pay some $7 billion in US taxes in 2013 -- about 1/40th of all the corporate taxes collected in the US. The SEC's report says that by funnelling most non-US sales through its Ireland subsidiary, the company saved roughly $5.9 billion last year compared to the rate it would have paid in the US.
The SEC did make one recommendation to the company: as the inquiry had determined that nearly all of the company's foreign money was generated through its Ireland offices, the agency asked Apple to "specifically reference the potential risks associated with any changes in Irish tax laws" in advisories to the SEC and shareholders. Apple said it would do so.

Sorry about my inactivity. A family member died a few days ago, and I've been busy with helping to clean out her apartment and the like.
I don't know if one already exists here, but I recently remembered my concept for a Flying-type Eeveelution. My only drawings of it are months old, but I can try to post an old sketch tomorrow (it's 11:30pm here right now).
I also have been working on the Zangoose evolution, and have made some progress on that. Nothing worth posting yet.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. :( I hope you and your family are coping well with your loss.
(heh, kinda feels weird jumping from that right into pokemon conversation, ya know? :x)
As of currently, we already have a flying type design.. however, feel free to post pics so we can get a good idea of it.
@ Sunny : Aw, it's such a cutie! :D I won't update the first post with it yet cause I know you'll keep working on it, but I definitely like how it looks so far! If you can, try to develop the ghostie bits on it to look more wispy. Right now, they look a little globular and amorphous. But it's still early in the design, so I have faith in you. :) Is the tail supposed to be a lantern? Just curious.
Also, super big thanks to everyone. You guys have been doing so much work to make this project really special and I want to try to do something nice for all the contributors. n_n; You guys rock! <3
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again

This is a very serious tip. There are some serious chances to break a leg or even serious injury walking around in Lomé. Many of the roads are really sand and/or dust. Even the paved roads have quite a bit of sand on top of them. So they are a bit of a trip hazard if you are walking around. The real dangers are around the storm drains. To be able to quickly channel large amounts of rain in a flat town, they are quite deep. There are many places were the opening are not covered or the cement covers have fallen in. You can definitely pick up an injury falling into these gaping holes.
The biggest danger is the storm covers themselves. They are made from concrete and are very heavy. Unfortunately the quality of their manufacture varies from solid to very thin. Many of them are so thin in the middle that their own weight has made them crack. You can actually step on some of these and they will promptly break in half and send you into the deep drain.
Please watch where you step – and what you step on – in Lomé.

Armed soldiers in the street
Togo is a dictatorship and most of the population want the President removed and replaced with a new selected President. But they fear him. Heavy armed soldiers follow the President wherever he goes (See pictures).
You should avoid situation with police or soldiers as they might ask for a bribe. I did not go beside the President palace and I avoided them in the streets. Roadblocks are said to act as an unofficial revenue collection exercise. Corruption and misuse of power by the police and soldiers are common.

Pickpockets and thieves in Lome
The poverty in Togo is extreme. There are pickpockets in crowded places like Grand Marché (the big market). The locals say you should carry your money in a smart way and be careful with your camera. Try to look determined. It can be dangerous to walk alone where there are few people. Dark streets should be avoided. Unlighted areas of the beach is a no-go-zone, but ask the locals for updated information. The beach below the intersection of Blvd du 13 Janvier and Blvd de la Marina is the safer than other parts of the beach.
I was sitting in the outdoor restaurant at Hotel le Galion one evening in October 2010, when a middle age french expat came in and told he was robbed at knife-point in one of the back streets. He stood there with his big handbag, apparently unharmed. Since I don't understand too much french I could only guess how it was when he gesticulated and talked to the others in the restaurant. But a man like him walking alone in the dark streets with a big handbag must be a magnificent victim for any thief.

Full detailed profile on Emily Quartermaine Played by Natalia Livingston on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Natalia Livingston (ABC)
Birthday: January 26 1976
Back at Wyndemere, Emily tells Nik that he's so in love that he's been able to see her this way, but that's going to change with his tumor. She tells him that it's going to get really ugly and he'll lose control and go mad before he dies. He won't be able to see her anyway, so why die for it? Nik is crying as she tells him if he loves her, he will have the surgery. Then, she turns and walks out of the room.
Even though he was brought into GH via ambulance last night, Nik convinces Robin to come back to the warehouse with him to look for Nadine. He sees Emily on the top of the stairs and Robin can see that he's having another of his hallucinations. Nik yells at Robin to leave him alone and when she balks, he tells her to bring in the men in white coats or just be his friend and leave. Robin reluctantly goes and Emily says that she must still be of use to him or why else would she be around? She tries to help him figure out where Nadine is. Nik says that Diego had been living there for months and he could have tons of trap doors they don't know about.
Nadine is at the bottom of an elevator shaft trying to scream through the duct tape on her mouth. Nik is closer than he thinks as he argues with Emily to help him. He turns to face her, but she's gone. Instead, he finally hears Nadine's muffled voice. He gets to her and calls 911. Emily returns to him and asks how he is. He says that he's afraid this is the last time he'll see her. She tells him it has to be because he needs the surgery. She says he needs to be with Spencer, Lucky and Lulu. She asks him to have the surgery - for her.
Nik and Diego fight on the waterfront and Nik promises that he won't kill again. Diego yells that Nik only lost one person but he lost his whole family! They go around and around until Diego gets the upper hand and wraps a cord around Nik's neck. Nik is able to twist out of it and Diego grabs his passport and leaves. Nik drops to the ground gasping for air and Emily appears to tell him it's not his time to go.
Nik is looking around the waterfront in hopes of finding any clue to Diego's whereabouts. He starts to freak out, but when he sees Emily he calms down. Just below him, Diego has nabbed Nadine. She puts up one heck of a fight and starts shrieking for Nikolas. By the time Nikolas races down the stairs, all he can find is a jar of chlorophyll.
Nikolas finds Emily at Wyndemere and together, they try to remember the night she was killed. He recalls someone approaching them and knocking him to the ground. (He falls to the ground as he recalls it.) When he wakes up Emily is choking and falls next to him. Nikolas begs her not to leave him again. She is gasping for air and tells him to "see the rest." He does as she asks and the whole murder scene plays out in his mind. He sees that he wasn't her killer at all - it was Diego.
From his hospital bed, Nik presses Emily to answer if Logan was her killer. She pauses for a minute and then tells him no. Just then Lulu rushes into the room in tears saying that she made a huge mistake. She explains that Logan's in a coma and it's all her fault. Nik helps her to realize that she was afraid for her safety and acted out of fear, that's all.
Nik is alone with Emily in his room. He tells her that if he can identify her killer, maybe she could finally be at rest. He says that he can't do this to her anymore and he needs her help.
As Scott sits watching Logan's ventilator keep him alive, Nik paces outside of the room - with Emily.
At GH, Nadine is at Nik's bedside. She asks him if Emily has an opinion about who killed her. Nik resists Nadine's help because he's afraid it will mean losing his visions of Emily altogether. Emily is nearby, of course, and she is willing to go through whatever it takes to be able to tell him who killed her. Nik says that the cops won't believe that he suddenly remembered anyway. Nadine leaves the room so that he (and Emily) can decide what to do. Emily tells Nik that Leticia and Georgie died too, and now Alexis, Maxie and Sam are in danger. She says that he needs to face the facts of who the killer is. She reminds him that his tumor is growing and he's going to lose this opportunity to know the truth. Then she asks him to focus on what he saw in his memory. He closes his eyes and remembers that he was begging her to leave and then a guy came and knocked him out. Emily is agitated as she recalls her strangling and then suddenly, she's gone. Nikolas reaches for her and then doubles over in pain.

Today's Opera build introduced a well known feature, which can already be found on: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and probably few others, not so well known web browsers.

Firefox 188.8.131.52, Sooner Than You Thought
Just a few days ago (with the Firefox 184.108.40.206 release), "Directory Traversal Vulnerability" was supposed to be fixed. However, as it's noted here, by the guy who discovered new security vulnerability, it wasn't fully fixed. Here's a quote from his blog:
Because directory traversal through plugins is all nice and such, we don't need it. We can trick Firefox itself in traversing directories back.
Firefox 188.8.131.52 Released
New Firefox build by Mozilla Firefox team is now released. Firefox 22.214.171.124 includes a total of 10 bug fixes (3 of them are marked as critical). The following release also fixes chrome directory traversal vulnerability. It's highly recommended to download latest version as soon as possible.
Camino 1.5.5 Released
Camino, web browser for Mac OS X only got an update: 1.5.5. The following release fixes some well known bugs, for example: crashes, as well as add new features and various improvements.

Opera Mini, February Server Upgrade
Opera Mini team has released one more server upgrade for its popular mobile phone web browser. It's good to see that Opera 9.5 rendering engine is being integrated (more or less) into other Opera's products like Opera Mobile (announced yesterday) and now, Opera Mini. There is also one more great future, which was is now available, it's "opera:config". Here's a complete list of changes:

WordPress 2.3.3 Released
Not really a web browsers thing, but if you are using WordPress 2.3.x and haven't yet upgraded to WordPress 2.3.3, you should do that now.
WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog.

What's so good?
By Tobias Handke | Jun 28, 2013 | Total plays: 10,306
Sampling The Weekend's "Initiation," Haze's remix is booming percussion and moody synths, with Haze in rather reserved form on the chorus before attacking the verses with her usual ferociousness and introspective lyrics. I dig this tune, and while not as in your face as "No Beuno," it retains Haze's main strength: being honest and open with her lyrical content.
If this is an example of what won't make the cut of Dirty Gold, I'm hanging to find out what does.

You're doing good.
Try laying down a thin brown wash over the drawing first so that you're not left with those annoying white spaces.
Your drawing may have to be a little darker for this so you don't loose it. Don't be afraid to make it a little messy. Paint is messy, it's one of its finest features.

I just got started doing acrylics myself and am struggling, its a tough medium after focusing on just drawing and digital paintings. Anyways they look like you're off to a good start though, keep 'em coming!
This too shall pass.

Traditional ways are always harder than computer based. Its all manual with traditional.
I did a project on studying acrylics and I seemed to get too frustrated with it. My paintings werent as polished as these so I guess they are better ^^ Keep em coming.
If you find you are too restricted when it comes to blending and the drying times, try oil paints.
