Once Kirby's Glow Orb mushrooms started sprouting, it was a simple matter to whip up several batches of the Potent Zombification elixir. From there it was just a matter of finding townies who would hold still long enough to be zombified in order to fulfill Kirby's Lifetime Wish.
In between zombification, if I left her alone for more than a second, Kirby would dash to the nearest mirror and check herself for wrinkles.
She was having a pretty traumatic Mid-life Crisis, you see. I have had many Sims go through this stage, but I don't think any of them have spent so much time checking themselves in mirrors.
"GET OVER YOURSELF," I would think, "WE'VE GOT ZOMBIES TO CREATE!"
And finally, #10, with Kirby's wish fulfilled!
Kirby celebrated by… rushing to the nearest mirror and checking herself for wrinkles.
Now it was time for Leroy's Lifetime Wish, to cure 12 zombies. I obviously didn't think this through. I should have waited until I had all the potions, then sent him out with Kirby to de-transform zombies right after she transformed them.
"Hello? Any zombies in here? Hello? Anyone?"
We had to settle for a house-by-house search. Oh, here's one!
"Thanks, man!"
While #1 was happy to stand around chatting after being un-zombie-ficated, most of them took off the instant Leroy fixed them. Rude.
#2, the dude with the stupid hat.
For #4, I cheated a little and gave Leroy a Potent Zombification elixir. First he transformed this tourist he found in the park.
Then he changed him back.
I guess I would storm off in a huff, too.
At this point Lars came back from boarding school, and I kicked him out. Seeya, Lars!
We ran out of Potent Cure Elixir. While waiting for more Glow Orb mushrooms to grow, Leroy went home and played with Kitty with the laser pointer.
Then he walked outside AND DIED OF OLD AGE.
Ugh, I hate it when they beg for their lives. It's so heartbreaking!
After Leroy's death, Kitty woke up and mourned him. Also heartbreaking.
Well… so much for Leroy's Lifetime Wish, I guess. On to Logan, the heir.

CENTRALIA — A public meeting to discuss the proposal to end the release of hatchery steelhead in the North Fork Toutle/Green River watershed to support recovery of wild fish is scheduled Jan. 9 at Centralia College.
The session will begin at 6 p.m. in Room 103 of Washington Hall. The campus is at 701 Walnut St.
The North Fork Tout;e/Green watershed is one of three tributaries to the lower Columbia River proposed as wild steelhead gene banks by advisory groups to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The other two tributaries are the East Fork of the Lewis and Wind rivers.
Cindy LeFleur, regional fish program manager, said the purpose of the gene banks is to protect wild steelhead from the effects of hatchery stocks in strategic watersheds around the state.
Gene banks are required under the Statewide Steelhead Management Plan. Wild steelhead in the lower Columbia have been listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act since 1998.
A similar meeting was held in Vancouver in late November. LeFleur said many questions and comments about the North Fork Toutle/Green have come up since then.

Many of them are thinking about this question:
- Is there a better way to conceptualize, record, and intercept touch-points (and map so-called moments of truth) in the consumer purchasing journey?
Most consumer experience analysts argued that there was only one consumer moving through multiple channels, and that the divide among channels was arbitrary. There was a real problem that retailers, on the ground, could see.
Until, that is, smartphone penetration made it visible.
And now that consumers are carrying computers that fit into their pockets, right into the store, and are completing purchases...right in the store...it's a visible problem.
The reason for caring about this question are rooted in the problem of showrooming.
There are a few promising presentations on the agenda:
- Some are suggesting that we leverage BIG DATA ANALYTICS to drive insights.
- Some argue that it is all about OmniChannel architecture. (A consumer-centric approach to multiple channel.)
- Some are arguing that there's a long standing problem with search and classification in the first place.
- Some are about how new payment technologies help.
- Some are all about mobile.
If you're there, I'll see you there. If you're not, I'll write what I found.

Today we released Beta 2 of VS2008. This is the first public release from Microsoft that contains a nontrivial amount of code that I wrote (even though I haven't written too much code just yet). I had barely synched up the source tree and only fixed a couple of bugs when we released Beta 1 but now I've found my feet and am contributing more.
The major release announcements have focussed on the flashier (and admittedly very cool) aspects of the Beta like LINQ and some of the HTML editing and Javascript debugging features. However, us Profiler folks have also been toiling away adding new features and fixing bugs. Look out for things like (and some of these already featured in Beta 1, but they just keep getting better):
If you can, please download it and let us know what you think. If you don't have the time at least take a look at the overview video showing some of the major features. You should also check out Ian's entry about controlling data collection while profiling. Hopefully I'll have time to go through some of the new profiler-specific features soon.

Dihydrogen monoxide:
Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

Lisa Endlich Heffernan, of the Huffington Post, was recently featured on the Today Show, speaking to how she had many regrets in her life as a working mother and staying home after her third child was born. She felt that she let down all of the women who had come before her to make it possible to attain that "High Powered Career".
"When you leave the fulltime workplace and become a stay-at-home mom, you begin to live in a world of women your own age with kids the same age as your kids and your experiences really narrow as the range of people you deal with narrows." – Lisa Endlich Heffernan
There is a fine line parents walk when going back to work after having a child. Many feel guilty for relying on others to watch their child while they pursue their own dreams of a career. However, sacrificing a career to stay at home can leave a void that eventually turns into regret.
Thankfully, new developments in technology are eliminating that choice by allowing parents to work remotely in an effective manner. Unified communications (UC) solutions can simulate the traditional office environment for most remote employees. Video conferencing provides face-to-face interaction allowing remote employees to develop relationships with their peers. Quick questions or generic small talk can be conducted through Instant Messaging. Not to mention presence information provides the same available or away status as walking past a colleague's office.
Even better, enhanced interoperability with mobile devices allow parents to join important collaboration session from their iPad while sitting in the parking lot at their child's swimming lessons. Now, parents can fulfill their intellectual desires by pursuing their career while having the flexibility to run up to school and drop of their child's forgotten lunch or walk their child home from the bus stop.
The best part about enabling parents to work remotely is the increased talent pool for organizations. Parents who would have given up their career, like Lisa Endlich Heffernan, can contribute valuable insight to organizations without sacrificing the desire to be at home for their children.
Sara Sutton Fell, CEO & Founder of Flexjobs.com, even wrote an article about 15 surprising jobs parents can do from home; specifically mentioning CEO or Executive Director. However, the actual number of jobs that can be performed remotely far exceed this number when organizations implement UC and other video solutions.

What's Your Favorite Sushi in NYC?
My two most memorable experiences would be at Sushi Zen and Gari (original). The quality of the fish was impeccable, the presentation artistic, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming...
My two most memorable experiences would be at Sushi Zen and Gari (original). The quality of the fish was impeccable, the presentation artistic, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming...
Chiffon (Brooklyn) has a light, toothsome loaf - very good toasted.
Minca is a good downtown choice, but I would travel for Totto.
Look... I accept the fact that there are many fine food purveyors out there, but no one can compare to The Arepa Lady. The arepas are remarkable and she is a welcoming, good-hearted presence.
Since it opened, there has been nothing - flavor to flavor - that is better than the Lab!
Dosa from the Washington Sq. cart.
I'm going to keep it in Queens - Lamb Noodle Soup in Golden Mall, Biang, Cana for Korean, and Shanghai 33 for soup dumplings and lion's head..
Cana is easily my favorite - the food is terrific and you are treated as though you are visiting in someone's home.
A little onion, salt and pepper, starchy potato (squeezed dry) - all helpful. BUT the most important is to fry them in chicken fat if possible!!
Curry Mee - from Nyona Sunset Park...
Deboned chicken - once to stuff it Italian style with Parmesean, herbs, sausage and once to stuff it Chinese style with rice, mushrooms, ginger, and - of course - sausage.
Has to be my grandmother's... on my father's side, of course!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Caramelized Onions and Bacon - an undisputed winner...
I'ld have to go with 15 East just edging out Blue Smoke and Spot...
For sure - chicken rice and laksa, lots o' laksa
Torrisi: new-old Italian!
Maialino has a "life-changing" pancetta side....
The Lab.. very simple!
Whitefish salad on bagels or pumpernickel...
Porterhouse... anytime
I'm a porterhouse believer...
Very... VERY difficult - so many noodles, so hard to decide... I'll lean toward Vietnamese.
Enough already with cupcakes! We should be turning our attention to more meaningful concerns... like PIE!
I'll have to go with Pho over crispy pata... my cardiologist doesn't object to Pho.
Il laboratorio del gelato - warm weather, cold weather, dry weather, wet weather... weather or not!

MMA News
Weidman's trainer Ray Longo is critical of Belfort's TRT use
Ray Longo, who is the head trainer of UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (11-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC), had some harsh words regarding #1 contender Vitor Belfort's (24-10 MMA, 13-6 UFC) TRT use, during an interview with ESPN.
Here is what Longo had to say:
"I know Chris is beating the guy, but why give him an advantage?" Longo said. "Why does he deserve that? All he did was abuse his body with steroids so that now he needs the exemption. It's bulls—."
Belfort is expected to face Weidman for the UFC middleweight title later this year in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Are the comments made by Longo justified? Let's hear your verdict Penn Nation!

I'm torn, because deep down I feel like TRT is unfair, but the sanctioning bodies say it isn't soooo…..
But, yes, I agree it sounds like they are making excuses for a loss already.
Replacing testosterone that you do not have due to age in my eyes is not an advantage. If anything it just gives Vitor the speed and stamina as somebody who is 25-30. Which is around Chris's age, so they should be equals at this point.
Now when you see Alistair take it and he's not even that old, and has 16:1 ratios..thats where it's bad.
How is giving someone the speed & strength of someone nearly 10 years older than him not cheating?? Age is a part of life!
Martin, to be fair, TRT does not give you speed and strength. TRT is basically giving you within normal testosterone levels, which in reality is helping Vitor recover from his training. He is not "faster" because of TRT, he just simply heals within an normal range for a younger athlete.
Said a lot better than myself, thanks.
if you're not playing with the hand you're dealt…you're cheating in my opinion. doesn't this rationale that guys are using to say it's "OK" also then say that if guys don't feel strong enough, don't feel fast enough, and don't hit hard enough, that they can take stuff to fix all that? seems like a clear violoation of at least the spirit of "fighting clean" if not the rules themselves.
Normal levels of testosterone do not result in muscles that look like Vitor's. If you're not using steroids and a lot of them, you simply don't build muscle like that. Sherk, Lesnar, Belfort, Overeem–yes. Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Weidman–no. You don't need expensive blood and urine tests, you can tell by looking at them.
thank you for sharing Dr. Adrian. What degree did you get where you can tell who uses steriods by looking and thier bodies?
jahnsi, I love how your reply is passive-aggressive pussy reply to Adrian. It's actually well known what a steroid abuser's body can look like, there are traits. Vitor shows a lot of them. Vitor also has a history of taking "over the counter" supplements which he pissed hot for. Look at Vitor's body the second he got on TRT, are you saying TRT alone gave him that new body? Are you a doctor?. Stop being such an uneducated, biased nut hugger. Annoying prick.
Well Said Jahnsi!! I agree
You are an idiot, look at natural bodybuilders who have not used steroids, they are much bigger then Vitor, You are just the average loser who puts others down and makes excuses because you're a lazy nobody and that's all you'll ever be because mentally you are weak and deep down you know it.
You're a fool to even think natural body builders aren't on something. Wow. I bet you thought cyclist weren't messing with EPO until Lance got busted too right?
i really think there is a misconception here. like i think its bs what vitor is doing too guys but to say its not possible to have muscle look like that without enhancing drugs is hilarious to me. go do real work in the gym.
i understand the first glance comparison towards fighters like jones or silva, but you also have to realize that those fighters very openly do not have huge power based routines in the gym and rather focus a great deal on body on body conditioning and technique.
take someone that has an intense explosive power lifting regime paired with strength building program, has good metabolism, and eats clean and theyre going to look like this on their worst day.
i look better than this and i can barely afford protein let alone a needle to stick in my ass.
what about cain doesnt look muscular at all some guys r just naturally stronger then others weidman should just go for it if hes a real champ
MMA is the only sport where it is allowed from what I have read. All TRT is, is utilizing anabolic steroids to bring a person's testosterone up, generally because past abuse has ruined their testosterone production. If Vitor was playing basketball or football, he would not be allowed to participate. However, I can see it as a point that everyone's made mistakes in their life and when you abuse steroids, you can not naturally produce testosterone anymore. However, I do not believe it is fair and as well it is damaging to the body.
Are you telling me that you believe that NFL and NBA dont use? The NFL's random drug testing protocol is the easiest to manipulate and beat out of all organizations. Its set up that way on purpose or you and many others would not be able to watch any games. There would be almost no players.
I for one, never made that statement you are accusing me of. I stated that it is not allowed in the other sports. If there are players that cheat their tests and beat them, then they would be playing. Secondly, you have zero proof of your accusations of NFL and NBA players. You have no idea how they drug test and you should do some research in the matter before spouting of your prejudices.
Maybe TRT users should let their competition use the same amount of testosterone if they so chose, would that be fair? Sounds pretty stupid even suggesting that. Maybe there is your answer right there.
Trt is just a replacement of what your normal levels should be. Some people should research, before bumping there gums ignorant f**ks!!…
Normal levels are the levels your body will produce without any supplements! "Is just a replacement" That has to be one of the funniest things I have read in a long time.
…and people who have aged produce lower amounts. THIS, is just funny..
Watch all the ppl who supported Chael Sonnen's use of TRT have a change of heart now that Silva no longer holds the belt.
GO Vitor!
Vitor trains in the states and has done so for a while and has been tested in the states so the the whole brazil corruption argument iz old the guy has said he would fight for the title without it. The fight is happening regardless of anyones bitching I have nothing against weidman as champ but stop bitching so many fighters have fought him including anderson and anderson beat him. Like others have said before ots not a majical drug that gives you skill because if that was the case there eould way more phenoms out there so many fighters take substances and for many reasons these guys train way past human standards injuries psin and all sorts of things put their bodies through is insane I don't sgree wit fighters taking steroids and I'm not defending it but all I'm saying is its done chael fought anderson the first time and was caught abusing some type of testosterone boost and got the approval for trt henderson as well as many others yet no heat on them I say quit the whining and fight. All the better for weidman to prove himself people educate yourself before jumping on trt topics or in rediculous conspiracies of Brazil corruption testing stop spewing ignorant facts if you don't agree with trtfine everyone to their own opinion but fml no need for usless and untrue facts.
Some of you guys should really do your homework. TRT is not steroids. It stands for Test Replacement Therapy. It's for people who have unhealthy LOW levels of Testosterone. If not taken it can cause major health problems and even death. Vitor is naturally a beast and when tested is a normal range for someone his age. Everyone seems to think that anything for Testosterone is steroids or performance enhancing drugs. They're some schools that outlaw Creatine and even Red Bull. It's bs. The rules in place prevent anyone from having an unfair advantage. Leave it at that. If your levels of T are above the normal range your disqualified. Belfort tests normal levels.
What people do not understand about TRT is that it's NOT taking someones levels to "normal" range. They are allowed to test within a 6 to 1 range to epitestosterone. Which means they can legally boost their already low testosterone to BEYOND normal levels. Which current studies show is a 3.7 to 1 for the 95th percentile of humans…so they can almost double what is normal for 95% of people…that totally sounds fair.
Thank you. Somebody understands something. Let me add to your post and it will totally clear things up. Also, Im not posting based on just research. This is from my 16 years of use. This TRT is a way to manipulate the whole system. Yes, I believe they should be able to get TRT and test within the normal range for their age. But you are correct in that the ratios they accept to be normal is at the highest ratio a normal person has tested. They give it the benefit of the doubt. But, the reality is in the offseason some use other compounds and go way above that like Alistar. The deal with him is he got tested after he took his dose and was obviously not on fast acting stuff. It was kind of too late when he did it. The whole topic is a real joke to me and the majority of people who post on it have never used steroids or ben tested on a ongoing bases. That is why I do not post about fighting because I am not a competitive fighter so why pretend to sound like I know something about it. If you are computer programmer and you are telling us the real story about TRT because of what you see or read in the media is beside me..
weidman should use trt see what happens
I agree with Longo for the point he is making but he is wrong…Vitor is not getting an advantage…he is getting TRT to bring his levels to an equal playing field as Chris Weidmans. Now, would he need TRT to make it equal if he didnt abuse Steroids…probably not but its not an advantage….why do so many people mis calculate this? Take this for instance…Chris Weidmans natural Testosterone levels may be 800 and Vitors (because of his abuse) is 200…is that equal? no..and thats what Longo wants so actually Weidman has the advantage w/out it. specially if Vitor has been getting TRT up to this point and to take it away would be disadvantage. So he takes TRT and then MAYBE his levels get to 800 or close to make it equal!!

Two surprisingly solid kids movies
As any parent will tell you, finding quality entertainment for your children that doesn't want to make you gouge your eyes out while also watching can be difficult. But two recent releases prove that you can make kids films that also deliver for adults. Disney's non-Pixar films often get overlooked, but WRECK-IT RALPH (PG, 3 […] [Read More]
Unstoppable: 1,2,3 Go!
UNSTOPPABLE (PG-13, 3 stars) might be the most simplistic action movie ever made. The plot goes like this: there's a runaway train and it must be stopped. That's it. Oh yeah, there's some half-hearted attempts at character development, but those are quickly scuttled in favor of the out-of-control locomotive. Even director Tony Scott, a man […] [Read More]

What's going on with the police? – John MintoPosted on January 23, 2013 by admin in John Minto, Mana Blog
Recent incidents should make us think carefully about what's going on with the police and the increasing tendency for irresponsible, undisciplined actions to inflame rather than resolve situations peaceably.
Instead of using long-standing practices of working to defuse difficult situations, too many police are reaching for weapons instead.
This trend has been exacerbated by the progressive arming of the police over recent years.
In the most recent high-profile case a police constable in Kawhia is off work when he sees a young man he believes has breached his bail conditions. So the policeman goes home, puts on his police uniform, arms himself with a pepper spray, a taser and a pistol and then proceeds to confront the young man on a Kawhia street in the presence of a large group of the man's friends, some of whom had been drinking.
It doesn't take much brainpower to see that a young man in the middle of a large group of his mates is unlikely to come quietly on a disputed claim about bail conditions.
The inevitable outcome was a confrontation in which the policeman used his pepper spray, then taser and finally took out his pistol. Inevitably his actions provoked huge disorder and it's likely we'd have had another Stephen Wallace (Wallace was shot dead by police in Waitara in 2000 after they confronted him as he smashed windows in the town's main street) without members of the public intervening as they did.
The young man and his father now face serious charges of assault on police as well as already having been pilloried in the media by the police and subject to abusive, uninformed commentary by the general public based on misinformation the police provided the media.
What was this policeman thinking? Nothing rational for sure. He had lots of options to deal with the situation – the most sensible would have been to visit the man at him home – but chose the most likely option to lead to a riot.
Two other cases I've been involved with in the last six weeks also involve police exacerbating situations rather than simple steps to defuse potentially difficult situations.
One was last weekend when a group of people from the Waihopai spybase protest (the base that spies on Kim Dotcom (and the rest of us) for the US) walked down the driveway with a letter for the base commander. They were stopped by a group of four police and told they were not permitted to proceed further whereupon the police were asked to themselves deliver the letter.
The outcome was that one of the four, a police sergeant, screwed the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground. It was a childish, provocative action well outside any conceivable police role to ensure protest rights are upheld. Rather than prevent a breach of the peace, which police are required to do, he came close to provoking one.
On the same protest the same police sergeant was wearing a taser on his belt despite standard police operating instructions for the taser saying quite plainly:
"The EMI device (taser) is not to be carried by members rostered for duty at demonstrations"
Perhaps it's a case of small town cops thinking the rules don't apply to them.
The second case involved the policing at the TTP demonstration in Auckland's Skycity casino on 8 December last year.
Here I'll quote the letter of complaint I sent to the police on behalf of Global Peace and Justice Auckland after the demonstration: (Sorry it's so long but it makes important points) Complaint re police conduct on 8 December Global Peace and Justice Auckland is hereby lodging a formal complaint regarding the police handling of the anti-TPP protest at Auckland's Skycity casino on 8 December this year.
Our complaint covers four areas
1. The foolish and provocative actions of the senior officer in command at the protest at Skycity and again at Aotea Square.
2. The cynical manipulation of a serious breach of police discipline to accuse the protest group of violent behaviour.
3. Using plain clothes police, possibly agent-provocateurs, to infiltrate the protest.
4. Passing wilfully misleading information to the public, via the media, about the action of protestors.
Regarding Point 1:
Many of us in GPJA have had many years of experience of organising and attending demonstrations but it is several years since we have seen police leadership which was so provocative and tactless. It was plain stupid. If police were wanting to incite a riot they went about it the right way.
Especially provocative was the intervention of the senior sergeant in charge of the protest to walk out and whack boxes from the hands of people who were putting the remaining few petition boxes on the fire. It was obviously a symbolic protest and common sense said it came from the frustration of having the agreed TPP organisers not front up to accept the 750,000 signature petition. Fire is often part of protests where flags are burned for example and but this seemed to be lost on police. It was a situation where tact and diplomacy was required but there was none on show.
This happened as myself and others were organising the protest group to leave Federal Street together although I appreciate that at that point this may not have been obvious to the officer in charge.
Later in Aotea Square the same officer turned up with a group of police and proceeded to arrest a young woman. She wasn't "asked to come quietly" but was grabbed and manhandled on the ground by several police in a manner which caused alarm and distress to witnesses.
The timing and the manner of her arrest could easily be predicted to lead to the near riot which resulted. In all our years of protest we have never seen a crowd line up to abuse the police in such a manner as happened as the police marched out of the square.
Regarding Point 2:
After the protest a senior officer was recorded from the public waiting area of the watch house reporting to his superior that a police officer had "broken ranks" and charged into the crowd in Federal Street to arrest someone. That was an accurate description of what happened.
However the police statement to media said two officers had become "separated, attacked and kicked numerous times" by protestors. This was demonstrably false as indicated by multiple witnesses and the extensive video footage from the scene. They had not become separated but separated themselves.
They were not attacked but attacked others and they were not kicked numerous times if at all.
Turning a breach of police discipline like this into a public attack on the protest group was nasty, vindictive and small-minded.
Regarding Point 3:
It is provocative to have plain clothes police in demonstrations as on Saturday. If any of the protest group dressed up as police and mingled with police they would be arrested for attempting to impersonate police.
We do not see not much difference with police impersonating protestors (or were other agencies involved?)
When people gather to exercise their right to protest under the Bill of Rights Act they have a right to be treated with respect and a right not to be disrespected by police. It follows that they have a right to expect their fellow protestors are who they claim to be rather than possible agents of the state as occurs under totalitarian regimes elsewhere.
Regarding Point 4:
Anyone reading the police statement and the media reports based on it could be forgiven for believing the protest group had tried to break into the hotel, had lit multiple fires in the street requiring fire service attention and had attacked and injured police officers including "stomping" on one officer's head.
This was a tissue of outrageous lies and dramatic overstatement. It appears to have been presented to the media from the police public relations team at least partly to disguise what was an appalling failure of policing at the protest.
The media and public have a right to expect the police will report accurately and fairly on any situation and not use the full public relations resources of the police to feed lies and misinformation into the public arena. To do so is to undermine the very rights people have to engage in protest which in turn is the oxygen on which our democracy depends.
We wish you to engage in a robust investigation of these complaints and we look forward to hearing from you.
Police and the media. It's worth pausing to look more closely at the role of the media in reporting these recent incidents.
The police are always the first to get their version of events out into the public. They have full-time PR staff to frame the public discussion from the outset around any controversial situation.
Take the Kawhia example. The initial stories about a lone police officer being attacked by a mob in Kawhia sounded horrendous but essential details were missing and there was no context to the situation. Later police refused to comment when media suggested the arrest was all for a simple breech of bail conditions and also refused to comment when video of the policeman with his pistol out was shown on TV.
The police didn't want us to know the whole story – only their sanitised version of events. We would probably have been none the wiser but for the fact it was a holiday story which got more exposure and more questioning than would otherwise have been the case.
Police accountability
The police can only be held accountable for their actions if the public is properly informed but in my experience this is the exception rather than the rule.
The police are always happy to talk about how difficult their job is but they regularly feed highly selective information to a frequently gullible public. Then when a complaint is made they hide behind the weak accountabilities of the (so-called) Independent Police Conduct Authority which has few resources and in most cases gets the police to investigate the complaint in any case.
It's natural for those in the public eye to emphasise the good things they do and try to hide the others. The police are no different. But when they hold such extensive responsibilities for the safety of the community and enormous powers over individual liberty then they must be held to higher standards of accountability than at present – anything less is a danger to democracy.
Most importantly the police need to refocus on defusing and resolving situations by discussion and negotiation.
Leaving the weapons at home would be a good first step.

K Space Contemporary showcases 'The Apocalypse Show'
CORPUS CHRISTI - Gerald Lopez, exhibitions committee chair, felt the end of the year was a good time to do something a little different at K Space Contemporary. Knowing the Mayan Calendar suggests to some that the world will end Dec. 21, he suggested "possibly … the Last Show Ever, The Apocalypse Show." He says it is humorous, so it's not meant to be taken too seriously. Artists stepped out of the box and did something different for this themed show.
End of days? Will the world keep spinning after the Maya Calendar ends? Most likely! Scientists have concluded that the end of the Mayan calendar does not imply the end of the world, only the end of the Mayan long-count period, which is a part of the Mayan calendar. The calendar is shaped like a wheel, when the end of the wheel is reached, it will begin again, much like our modern Gregorian calendar, which starts over every Jan. 1.
"The Apocalypse Show" is a group exhibition of artists from all across Texas. Some of the works features the artists unique take on the end of the world scenario. Other pieces see the apocalypse as a new beginning in which the word will be a better place.
Mike Stephens, makes artwork that is a social commentary. He utilizes traditional woodcut techniques, which he combines with current images from popular culture. Using an alter-ego, he explores his place in today's society, through the process of printmaking.
Tony Armadillo also put himself in his work, times four. As he gets older he hides his personality less. By painting himself as Mayan and at the same time in the series of portraits, he reveals true his identity. As the mask is lifted a little more in each portrait, until it is gone in the top left image. He said eventually we must reveal our true self to others. As the mask comes off, the core personality becomes apparent, as the mask is lifted the true self is shown. He thinks that at the end of his days, there is a new beginning of another world. So the painting is about mortality and what comes later.
Becky Smith's large drip painting of a rising spirit seems hopeful and macabre at the same time. Becky's works are consistently quirky and fascinating. This one is no exception.
Other Apocalyptic artists include: John Aasp, Cande Aguilar, Jorge Alegria, Jennifer Arnold, Loring Baker, Courtney Bracco, Steve Burnett, Diana Byers, Jim Caldwell, Julia Curran, Jesus De La Rosa, Sarah Fedak, Jim Forsythe, Sharon Forsythe, David Fuentes, Joshua Goode, Georgia Griffin, Ben Herrera, L.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
When Does The Real Housewives of New Jersey Start Filming?
Now that we know at least some of The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast is returning for the show's fifth season, we're dying for details on when the Bravo cameras will start capturing the H'wives' every move once again.
Back in August Jacqueline Laurita tweeted that the cast was on a much needed hiatus, but by the end of October/beginning of November there were rumors that Bravo was getting footage of the Housewives as they dealt with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, although those rumors have not been confirmed.
Bravo has stayed quiet and not released any details about Season 5, but if it's slated to air in the late spring/early summer as the show has done in years past, then we can expect filming to begin soon.
Are you game for another season of RHoNJ? Weigh in below.

In this compelling book, best-selling author and minister Max Lucado brings good news that will both comfort and challenge you. Drawing examples of Jesus' life straight from the Bible, he takes a fresh look at Christianity to help you gain a richer, more accessible relationship with God. The author reveals that God loves you just the way you are—even if you always have a sour outlook or are consumed with worry. But you don't have to stay that way. God wants to give you a heart full of compassion, forgiveness, honesty, and faith—just like Jesus. But how does change occur, and why does it seem so slow? The author's clear prose answers the questions you have been asking about God's wonderful transforming power.

Late 1860's Peach and Gray Gown
This stunning reception dress is an exciting example of the transition in fashion that went on post Civil War. About 1866, the skirt began to extend in the back and throughout the following two years became narrower as the train became longer. As early as 1867, the skirt began to be pulled back with emphasis on the rear of the gown. The bustle silhouette emerged in 1868. This gown shows both the extended train and the narrow hips of the late 1860s. Inside the skirt there is evidence that it was later bustled by narrow cords. The gown is three piece in its construction, incorporating a removable self fabric chemisette as well as the bodice and skirt. It is composed of grey and gold shot taffeta lavishly trimmed with peach taffeta pleats. Yards of black silk velvet ribbon outline the pleats and trim the bodice. The ribbon is hand embroidered in a stylized daisy motif. The technique is delicate, incorporating both satin stitch and French knots. Elaborate pleated trim adorns the bodice. The skirt closes at left front with hook and eye in classic 1860's manner. The bodice laces up the back as well as the chemisette.
Condition is good with some moisture spotting as seen in photos and heavy underarm discoloration. There is some breakage to the fabric under the arms as well. A line of discoloration along the front bodice seam appears to be from perspiration. The chemisette has some spots from either age or moisture; see picture. The original laces are not present. I have used craft ribbon to lace the dress.
Antique clothing is fragile and requires careful handling.
I take great care in describing condition, but I may overlook something. Buyer should anticipate that there will be age related flaws in any antique clothing item.
Bust - 29"
Waist - 23"
Measurements are approximate and are given for display purposes only. We strongly discourge the wearing of antique clothing.
Price: $1,200.00

What technology services are available to students?
Susquehanna offers a broad range of services to assist students with their technological needs. The Information Technology (IT) Help Desk assists students who are having issues with their software and e-mail. The Advanced Technologies Team provides online student and faculty collaboration engines such as Moodle and Blackboard. Students can check out equipment such as digital projectors and camcorders through the Center for Advanced Technology (CAT). In addition, there are six computer labs on campus, including one with 24-hour access. Each of these labs is equipped with a printer, and printing is free. Windows Vista, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Project are some of the software that comes standard on our lab computers. A Mac lab is also available for students in design courses such as print advertising and graphic design. Because of the availability of computers around campus, it is not necessary to have your own computer. However, most students bring a personal computer to campus anyway.
Is a desktop or laptop computer recommended?
Should I buy a PC or a Mac?
What computer configuration is recommended?
What software is recommended?
Do I need to bring a computer to campus?
Does my child need to bring a printer?
No. Susquehanna provides black-and-white laser printers in each computer lab, which are accessible from anywhere on campus via its local area network (LAN). There is no cost to print in the labs. Many students choose to bring their own color inkjet printer as an added convenience.
Is the campus wireless?
WiFi coverage is available on more than half of the SU campus. The Office of Information Technology continues to expand WiFi availability across campus. Currently network resources are not accessible through WiFi; only Internet is available.
Do we need to purchase anti-theft/security/insurance for computer equipment?
The Office of Information Technology recommends an anti-theft product called Computrace Lo Jack for laptops. It's basically a high-tech tracking mechanism for laptops similar to Lo Jack for cars. There are different service packages. Get more information.
Most homeowner's insurance policies will cover student-owned assets while they are away at college, including assets physically located at the student's college residence: such as a computer. Parents are encouraged to check with their insurance agent to verify the details of their plan.

Jodhpur, well known as the Sun City and one the most popular tourist destination with its amazing sand dunes of Thar Desert, once the capital of the Marwar state, was founded by the Rao Jodhaji in 1459 A.D. who claimed the descendent of Rama – the main character of Ramayana.
The city is surrounded by the high wall of 10 meter long with eight gates and innumerable bastion to a great extent. Due to the major trade center of 16th Centaury, Jodhpur has become the second largest city of the Rajasthan.
The prime attraction of the Jodhpur known as the extreme Mehrangarh Fort standing on the top of 125 meter high hill, surrounded by the blue washed houses, is one of the most attractive and formidable fort of India.
Jodhpur is bordered by the other districts of Rajasthan such as Bikaner, Ajmer, Pali, Nagaur and Jaisalmer. The best season to explore the beauty of Jodhpur for the travelers is October to March.

$22,570 – $31,048 Invoice
18 / 25 MPG City/Hwy
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2007 Nissan Quest !
What's New
The 2007 Nissan Quest has been restyled inside and also received some exterior upgrades to bring it more in line with conventional minivans. The overall exterior receives an updated front grille and bumper area, while the back gets new combination taillamps. Door handles are now chrome instead of color-keyed, and the roof rack is more angular with a chrome finish. Inside, the changes are more extensive; there's a new center stack, the instruments have been moved from atop the center console to a position in front of the driver, and new controls are easier to locate and read.
In Nissan's words, the previous Quest's approach to the segment was "discomforting" for some buyers, meaning opinions were mixed about it. For 2007, Nissan has given its minivan one of the most extensive mid-cycle redesigns in the automaker's history. The goal was to maintain the basic product and concept, but improve the interior design and functionalities, as well as enhance quality, all of which Nissan feels it has accomplished. The exterior is still unique, but the interior is where the big changes have been made.
Instead of the cluster being located in the center of the dash, the instruments have been moved to a position in front of the driver. The center stack has been redesigned and is more thoroughly integrated with the console area. It still remains high on the dash, but is a lot easier to use, as well as a lot easier on the eyes. The information display has been placed in the center of the dash, up high where the instrument cluster used to be, and features a large, easy-to-read screen that displays audio and temperature settings, as well as the display for the optional navigation system. While much more user-friendly, the screen is pronounced, and looks as if it should have a drop-into-the-dash feature, which it does not. Both second- and third-row seats are comfortable and much easier to operate. The third-row seat is easier to reach, easier to operate, and the headrests fold down automatically before the seat stores into the cargo well. In addition, the odd orange leather interior has been replaced with a much more mainstream "Chili" shade.
The engine in the 2007 Quest remains Nissan's VQ 3.5L V-6, with approximately the same power as the outgoing model: 235 hp and 240 lb.-ft. of torque. All Quests get the 5-speed automatic transmission that was only available on the high-end model last year.
The Competition
The Nissan Quest competes in the Midsize Van segment, which consists of 13 models. Buyers in this segment look for reliability, safety, and comfort, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Avoider StudySM and the Escaped Shopper Study.SM
The top sellers in the segment during calendar year 2006, according to the J.D. Power and Associates Sales Report,SM were the Dodge Caravan (211,140 units sold), Honda Odyssey (177,919), and Toyota Sienna (163,269). The Nissan Quest sold 31,905 units in 2006, a decrease of 20.9 percent compared to the previous year. Other models offered in the Midsize Van segment include the Chrysler Town & Country, Chevrolet Uplander, Kia Sedona, Ford Freestar, and Mazda 5.

Comments: I've had 11 concussions and was told to stop playing hockey. Of course, there was no chance of that. I researched every helmet out there. When I tried this one on and wore it for one game, I was so impressed. It fit perfectly and was so lightweight yet I felt protected at every turn. My first game with this on, I hit my head and felt nothing. It even wicks away sweat so much that I have yet to use my towel at a game. Amazing!! I will never doubt Easton's products. They're the best.
From: Jay, GA
Comments: This helmet is awesome. Super light weight but takes a hit and absorbs almost all the impact. I love it.
From: Jason, Mount Juliet, TN
Comments: This helmet is amazing. Not only does it look great, but its so light I can barely feel it on my head. But it protects you like you if you were wearing a mattress on your head. Everyone should get his helmet
From: Jimmie, CA
Comments: Very comparable to the S19 helmet but with much better fit. The downside to the helmet is that the padding inserts take forever to dry out which also means that they pick up all kinds of terrible smells. The good news is that they are easily removable to be washed... but what kind of hockey player washes their gear regularly?
From: Rob, San Jose, CA
Comments: this is by far the most comfortable and light helmet I've ever worn and I'm really glad I got it but the padding did start to rip in one spot after about half a season. This was pretty annoying cause the helmet is expensive but it was an easy fix with a sewing kit (u can also buy it for $10). Bottom line, I would recommend this to any mid to high level player looking for a cheaper top of the line model so u don't have to pay $200 for one piece of equipment
From: Mitchell
Comments: Great helmet, extremely light. Recommend getting a size smaller than normal, I am a large normally, but fit in a medium for this helmet. Also recommend getting an easton cage because other cages will not mount easily. Helmet does feel cage heavy because of the extreme lightness. A titanium cage would be great for this helmet. Overall great helmet, really comfortable and great shock absorption from low impact hits.

Engineers at IBM Research are claiming to have built the world's most advanced graphene-based computer chip, with performance that's 10,000 times better than previous graphene ICs. The key to the breakthrough is a new manufacturing technique that allows the graphene to be deposited on the chip without it being damaged (something that has heretofore been very hard to achieve). Perhaps more importantly, though, this new method is actually compatible with standard silicon CMOS processes. In short, we are closer than ever before to realizing a commercial graphene computer chip.

Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
"Now when I go to the bathroom I find out who my friends are." - Jake Scott after both broken hands were in casts following the 1972 season
Your post wasn't about Hartline, it was about Tony Sparano and Chad Henne. Which is not the topic of this thread. Two different opinions on two completely different subjects have nothing to do with each other. My taste in movies or politics doesn't dictate my opinion on whether Brian Hartline should be re-signed. My opinion whether current or past on Joe Philbin, Ryan Tannehill, Tony Sparano, Cameron Wake, Chad Henne, Sean Smith, Paul Soliai, etc. has nothing to do with my opinion on Brian Hartline. They are ALL completely different people and situations that should be addressed separately.This opinion of yours is consistent with your past history of approval/defense of whoever happens to be in charge of the Dolphins at the time, and/or playing for the Dolphins at the time, be it Tony Sparano and/or Chad Henne, etc. Therefore your opinion of Brian Hartline should be viewed within this context. This is about Brian Hartline.
I pulled into this thread your previous opinion on Brian Hartline, which I just checked the title of this thread again and is the SUBJECT of this thread. Whether it offended you that I pulled a relevant past opinion on the thread topic is your individual problem to sort through. It wasn't a personal attack or anything ridiculous like that. I apologize to you CK if a past opinion you had was offensive to you. Deeply sorry.
Lets try to get this thread back on track.
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I believe these two free agents, Hartline and Clemons, are being talked to first because they will be the cheapest and will likely provide more value for the money. The other players like Long, Starks, and Smith will likely ask for way more than they are worth,and negotiation will take much longer. I dont believe we are negotiating with Hartline and Clemons first because we want them more.
