New medical advances have made epilepsy surgery more available as an option when epileptic seizures cannot be satisfactorily controlled by medications. In the past, individuals with epilepsy were treated for years using multiple anticonvulsants, often with poor results, before being considered for surgery.
Now, most epilepsy specialists consider surgery earlier to help patients improve their quality of life sooner. When epilepsy brain surgery is being considered, patients and their physicians can now include a new option, Gamma Knife radiosurgery, which uses focused radiation to treat a localized seizure focus. The ROSE trial encourages epilepsy patients to apply for inclusion in this clinical trial when anticonvulsant medications cannot satisfactorily control epileptic seizures.

News Releases
Blyth, Inc. Reports 1st Quarter 2014 Sales And Earnings
May 2, 2014
GREENWICH, Conn., May 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Blyth, Inc. (NYSE: BTH), a direct to consumer company and leading designer and marketer of candles and accessories for the home, as well as health, wellness and beauty products sold through the direct selling and direct marketing channels, today reported sales and earnings for the first quarter of 2014. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased approximately 25% to $175.7 million from $233.1 million for the comparable prior year period.
Commenting on the first quarter results, Robert B. Goergen, Jr., Chief Executive Officer noted, "While our 1st quarter results were impacted largely by ViSalus's lower level of promoters versus the prior year, we are encouraged by the fact that the March 31st worldwide promoter count marked an increase over year-end by approximately 3%, with both our new European promoters and, more importantly North American promoters, increasing during the first quarter. This is a positive early indication of the potential success of a series of new programs implemented by the ViSalus management team to accelerate recruiting and improve retention. In addition, ViSalus continued its geographic expansion initiatives, opening both the German and Austrian markets during the first quarter, while laying the groundwork to enter three additional markets later this year."
Mr. Goergen noted further that, "Within PartyLite, we're beginning to see evidence that our consultants are embracing the multi-channel approach to selling 'The Original and Best' candles, complemented by our efforts to drive product innovation with offerings like SmartScents, a spill-proof alternative to liquid reed diffuser oils and Brighter World™ Candles which benefit directly the local communities where the essential fragrance oils are sourced by supporting local education programs, sustainable agricultural practices and regional conservation efforts. These initiatives, in conjunction with our continued focus on leveraging technology to ensure the ease of doing business with PartyLite, are facilitating our efforts to attract and retain consultants and customers. Worldwide, the low single digit consultant count declines of the past three quarters represented the most favorable year-over-year trends in the last five years."
Mr. Goergen continued, "At Silver Star Brands, where we are accelerating the transition from a cataloger to a multi-channel marketer, we are also benefiting from our investments in our health, wellness and beauty products whose growth is offsetting the continued decline in general merchandise offerings. Moreover, we continue to pursue expansion of our credit program which is driving sales without compromising profitability."
Blyth's operating loss for the first quarter was $2.6 million this year versus profit of $6.0 million last year, largely driven by the decline in sales. Net Income Attributable to Blyth, Inc. was a loss of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to income of $2.6 million in the comparable prior year period. Diluted Earnings per Share Attributable to Blyth, Inc. were a loss of $0.17 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to earnings of $0.16 per share in the comparable prior year period.
Net Loss Attributable to Blyth, Inc. Common Stockholders was $3.3 million in this year's first quarter compared to income of $2.6 million last year. Diluted Earnings per Share Attributable to Blyth, Inc. Common Stockholders, was a loss of $0.20 per share compared to income of $0.16 per share in the prior year period. This year's results include a charge of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share, for an adjustment to the redemption value for ViSalus redeemable preferred stock.
The summary reconciliation of unaudited Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings and earnings per share to Non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share presented in the attached table and the discussion of segment operating profit excluding certain items are included as additional references to assist investors in analyzing the Company's performance and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In presenting comparable results, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures when it believes such measures will be useful to investors in evaluating the Company's underlying business performance. Management internally reviews the results of the Company excluding the impact of certain items as it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful for evaluating the Company's core operating results and facilitating comparison across reporting periods.
2014 First Quarter Segment Performance
In Candles & Home Décor, PartyLite sales were $80.9 million in the first quarter versus $91.0 million for the same period last year, a decline of 11%. Worldwide, active independent sales consultants totaled approximately 46,200 at the end of the first quarter 2014 compared to approximately 47,600 at the end of the comparable period last year. PartyLite's European sales during the quarter decreased 8% in U.S. dollars, or an 11% decline in local currency. PartyLite's European active independent sales consultants totaled approximately 27,200 at the end of the first quarter, a less than 1% decline over the year-earlier period. PartyLite's North American sales, comprised of the U.S. and Canada, declined 19% versus the prior year period. Active North American independent sales consultants totaled approximately 14,500 at the end of the first quarter versus approximately 15,500 at the end of last year's comparable quarter.
First quarter operating profit for the Candles & Home Décor segment was $2.1 million versus $3.4 million in last year's first quarter. Excluding allocated corporate expenses of $1.9 million this year and $1.5 million last year, PartyLite's operating profit was $4.0 million this year versus $4.9 million last year, with the decrease being driven by lower sales.
Commenting on the performance of the Candles & Home Décor segment, Robert B. Goergen, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Blyth and President, PartyLite Worldwide said, "Similar to what we witnessed in the fourth quarter of 2013, we continue to see some positive trends in consultant count, one of our key indicators, despite the worldwide 3% year-over-year decline that was driven by North America. PartyLite's European consultant count was relatively flat to the prior year period, the third consecutive quarter in which the consultant base has held steady year-over-year. In addition, in Australia, year-over-year consultant count increased 28% in the first quarter, the fifth consecutive quarter attaining more than 25% year-over-year consultant growth."
In the Health & Wellness segment, ViSalus's first quarter net sales were $57.4 million versus $104.3 million for the same period last year, a decline of 45%, largely reflecting the reduced promoter base in North America. At the end of the first quarter, qualified independent North American promoters totaled approximately 36,100 versus approximately 35,900 at year-end, and approximately 70,200 at the end of the prior year's first quarter. International promoters totaled approximately 3,400 at the end of the first quarter, reflecting the recent entry into the U.K., Germany and Austria. Health & Wellness first quarter segment operating loss was $3.7 million this year versus operating profit of $4.2 million last year. Excluding allocated corporate expenses of $1.2 million this year and $2.2 million last year, first quarter operating loss for ViSalus was $2.5 million this year versus $6.4 million operating profit in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in ViSalus's operating profit was due primarily to the sales reduction and costs associated with its global expansion initiatives.
Ryan Blair, Chief Executive Officer of ViSalus noted that, "We are extremely encouraged by the early indications that the additional products, programs and incentives implemented to retain and motivate customers and promoters are beginning to take effect. Both Worldwide and North American first quarter comparisons to year-end 2013 showed growth in promoters, a pattern we did not observe last year during the comparable time frame. In addition, we continue to free up capital for investment in international expansion and remain on track to enter three additional markets in the remainder of 2014, bringing our total markets to eight."
In the Catalog & Internet segment, first quarter net sales of $37.4 million were 1% below the prior year's level of $37.8 million. Strong growth in health, wellness and beauty products and higher sales driven by the Silver Star Brands credit program, two promising areas of opportunity for future growth, were offset by lower sales of general merchandise offerings which continue to be challenged by competitive pricing pressure. First quarter operating loss in this segment was $1.0 million this year versus a loss of $1.6 million last year. Excluding allocated corporate expenses of $0.7 million this year and $0.5 million last year, Silver Star Brands' operating loss was $0.3 million this year versus a loss of $1.1 million last year. The improved operating performance year-over-year reflects promotional efficiencies in the current quarter.
The sum of the individual and segment amounts may not equal the reported totals for the quarter and full year for Blyth overall due to rounding.

9/11 Defense Attorneys Say Legal Documents Were "Ransacked"
Follow @ArunRathFebruary 13, 2013, 6:45 pm ET
Defense lawyers for three of the accused in the military commission hearings for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants claimed that their clients' legal materials had been "ransacked" while they were in the courtroom yesterday, and that some confidential legal materials were missing.
Cheryl Bormann, lead attorney for defendant Walid bin Attash, made the claim just as court was wrapping around 5 p.m. today, after a discussion of scheduling for tomorrow's session. Bormann told the judge that a member of her team had been informed of "some sort of emergency," and had gone to the camp where their client was being held. She was handed a note indicating that after bin Attash returned from court yesterday, his legal materials had been "ransacked," and that "several legal documents that had been properly stamped" — meaning cleared by security officials — "were missing."
David Nevin, lead counsel for Khalid Shekh Mohammed, and James Harrington, lead counsel for Ramzi bin al-Shibh, then told the judge that their clients had experienced a similar intrusion, but provided no details.
Earlier in the day, the very subject of inappropriate intrusions into the accused's legal materials was before the court. Lt. Alexander Homme, a lawyer who had worked for the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) at Guantanamo, took the stand in the morning to discuss how he had screened materials sent to the accused when he worked here in late 2011. Homme had written in a post on the US Navy JAG Force blog that the SJA faced, "immense pressure from multiple directions including those interests of defense bars, JTF Commanders, and political influences." Among the materials he refused to allow through to bin Attash was the former FBI agent Ali Soufan's book, The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War against Al Qaeda, which contains specific references to bin Attash.
Bormann asked the judge, Army Col. James Pohl, to order Joint Task Force Guantanamo to provide the missing materials in court tomorrow without reviewing it or turning it over to the prosecution. Lead Prosecutor, Brig. Gen. Mark Martins expressed some concerns about reacting to hearsay evidence in the moment, but stated he "wanted to get the facts on it and … do the appropriate thing."
The judge ordered an existing classification review team to obtain the missing documents, and, with more solid details about what actually happened in hand, the court will take on the latest controversy tomorrow morning.

After Barack Obama was elected president, Pope Benedict XVI sent him a congratulatory letter. So did Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. At the time, neither the Vatican nor the Catholic bishops were under any illusion about Obama's opposition to outlawing abortion, a position that obviously put him at odds with the church's agenda. That didn't prevent them from welcoming a dialogue with the new president or offering to work with him in common pursuits.
The same can't be said of conservative Catholics who are lobbying Notre Dame University, the best-known Catholic institution of higher learning in the country, to rescind an invitation to Obama to speak at its commencement in May and accept an honorary degree. Led by the Cardinal Newman Society, a self-appointed guardian of orthodoxy, the protesters seem to believe they are more Catholic than the pope.
The argument against Obama's appearance at Notre Dame is that it's incompatible with the church's opposition to abortion and the use of embryonic stem cells in medical research. But a similar charge could have been leveled against the 2001 appearance at the university of George W. Bush, who as governor of Texas presided over scores of executions. Although the church's objections to the death penalty aren't as absolute as its opposition to abortion, U.S. bishops have taught since 1980 that "the legitimate purposes of punishment do not justify the imposition of the death penalty." For them, the death penalty is also a "life" issue.
Catholics in America -- clergy and lay people alike -- are divided over whether the church should equate political support for legal abortion with moral approval of the procedure. In 2004, the archbishop of St. Louis threatened to deny Holy Communion to Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, a pro-choice Catholic. Other bishops, including Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles, leave it to pro-choice Catholic officials to search their own consciences.
Of course, the issue at Notre Dame isn't whether Obama, a Protestant, should be welcomed to a Catholic Communion rail. It's whether a distinguished university should ban a speaker with whom it disagrees or engage him, as the pro-life evangelical pastor Rick Warren did when he invited Obama to speak at his church. Notre Dame's decision reflects a historic development in the way Catholic universities are viewed by Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
Thanks in part to the Second Vatican Council, the last four decades have seen a once- unthinkable integration of Catholics into the American mainstream. As part of that development, Catholic universities have attracted students and faculty of all religious backgrounds by combining their identification with the church with the principle of open discussion.
Sometimes that requires a balancing act, and there are voices in the church advocating what they see as the "re-Catholicizing" of institutions such as Notre Dame or Georgetown University. These critics took some comfort in a speech by Benedict last year in Washington, in which he told Catholic educators that academic freedom couldn't justify a Catholic university's endorsement of "positions that contradict the faith and the teaching of the church."
But the pope's mandate is consistent with the position adopted by Notre Dame in the Obama controversy. The university's president, the Rev. John Jenkins, has emphasized that the invitation to Obama "should in no way be taken as condoning or endorsing his positions on specific issues regarding the protection of life, such as abortion and embryonic stem cell research."
It isn't just Catholic universities that sometimes need to be reminded of the importance of uninhibited debate. In 1974, students at Yale drowned out a speech by the physicist William Shockley because they objected to his views about race and intelligence. In 2007, President Lee Bollinger of Columbia University rightly resisted calls that he cancel an appearance by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- and then "welcomed" Ahmadinejad with a litany of denunciations. The attempt to have Notre Dame disinvite Obama is only one example of the impulse to censor dissenting views in an environment that should welcome them. In resisting that campaign, Notre Dame has kept faith with both its religious and its academic missions.

Staff Spotlight: Debby Cox
In 1990, Cox traveled to Gerald Durrell's Wildlife Trust on Jersey in the Channel Islands, United Kingdom. While there, she spent six months training and working on the conservation and breeding of endangered species.
After spending six months volunteering for JGI in Burundi, Cox returned to co-manage the Institute's programs in the war-torn country. In January 1995, Cox, along with colleagues, successfully negotiated a deal with the Government of Burundi to relocate a number of orphaned chimpanzees to a safe sanctuary in Kenya.
In the intervening years, Cox not only increased the numbers of chimpanzees rescued and transferred to the Ngamba sanctuary, she helped make the sanctuary one of the top tourist destinations in Uganda. Concurrently, she developed, designed and implemented a livelihoods program with women in the surrounding communities based on the production of handicrafts that are now marketed in the United States and Europe, as well as to sanctuary visitors. In 2004, JGI handed over management of the Ngamba sanctuary to the Ugandan staff that Cox trained.
Today, Cox is an integral part of the management of JGI's Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo. Her work at the sanctuary includes supporting the site's expansion to three nearby islands and working on a reintroduction program for some of the juvenile females currently living there.

The name Kiama is from the aboriginal word Kiaram-a, to which some sources give the meaning "Where the sea makes a noise" as reference to the famous Kiama Blowhole. For a history of Aborigines in the Kiama area visit the Kiama Library web site.
The first recorded reference to the district was by George Bass who anchored his 28ft whaleboat in the sheltered bay (now known as Kiama Harbour) in December 1797. Cedar getters were the first to the area, among those was David Smith, who became the first permanent white settler when he built a residence in Kiama in 1832.
The site of Kiama Township was reserved by the Government in 1826 and proclaimed in 1836. Kiama was proclaimed a Municipality in 1859. In the 1870's the dairying industry was supplemented by basalt (blue metal) quarrying, now one of the district's major income earners alongside tourism. Many of the historical buildings can still be viewed in the township.
The Pilot's Cottage Museum is situated on Blowhole Point adjacent to the Visitors Centre, this beautifully restored cottage operates as a Maritime and Regional Museum is run by the Kiama & District Historical Society. Detailed pictorial records of Kiama's colourful past can be seen including cedar getters, the basalt quarrymen and shipping history.
Exciting News a new Exhibition on Charmain Clift is now on at the Pilot's Cottage Museum
Jamberoo Valley was settled in the 1820's when it abounded in dense vegetation and rainforest. Clearing of the land over the years gave way to grazing runs and dairying and it is reputed to be the home of the famous "Illawarra Shorthorn" cattle.
Some seven cemeteries are to be found throughout the village which still retains many of its old buildings including Churches, country pubs and schoolhouse.
Historic homes from the 1800's add charm to the township of Gerringong. The orignal Police Station and several churches are also still viewable.
Pick up a copy of our "Heritage Walks" brochure, which covers Kiama, Jamberoo & Gerringong from the Kiama Visitor's Centre on Blowhole Point. For a further look into our local history visit the Gerringong Heritage Museum or Pilot's Cottage Museum.

Hello Everyone,
Can someone assist me and answer the following, what does mean on Exchange Mailboxes > Mailbox Advanced field
Youngest archived item:
Oldest archived item:
In this case for example it shows date for youngest archived item: 18/11/2003
Tried to search in that mailbox and subfolders and all could find > emails only archived from 2011 years.
That user claims that he lost all emails that were archived before 2011 years... I cann't believe that he could do that manually, because there are a lot of subfolders.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I have the same. Users complaining that suddenly their old emails have dispappeared.
What might have happend (in my case...) is that the SHORTCUTS to the archived items have been removed, because thay were older than the set time in the expiry of shortcuts.
To verify, have the user perform a search in the Search Archive for old(er) mails.
In addition, it might be you have expiry running on the archives?
My guess is user is not seeing old icons anymore, and shortcut expiry would explain this.
Thank you, Gertjan, MCSE, MCITP,MCTS, SCS, STS
Company: www.t2.nl
Gertjan, I think you might be close to the mark there. Further investigation in relation to attachments, and the points that you noted are best advised, I think.
So have the user show you what they're seeing, and then use Search.asp?advanced and do a blanket search ordering by oldest archived item to newest archived item, and you can see what items the user has.
So then if you get results, have them show you how they cannot find old items, because it still sounds like a shortcut issue

A Conifer woman died in a single-car rollover accident Wednesday morning near Skyline Drive and Highway 73 in Evergreen, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Heather Martin-Demichina, 40, was driving a 2010 Jeep Wrangler, which rolled in the accident, said Trooper Josh Lewis, a State Patrol spokesman. The Jeep went off the right side of the road and skidded before rolling onto its roof, Lewis said.
The accident happened near ongoing road-paving work in the area. No other cars or people were involved in the accident, Lewis said.
Evergreen Middle School got into the "Watch Me" dance craze on Friday when 130 seventh- and eighth-graders danced to the song in the gymnasium.
The dance — choreographed by physical education teacher Mariel Carlin — was recorded by a camera, several iPads and a drone with the intent of creating a music video all EMS's own.
The students did the "whip" and the "nae-nae" in addition to sit-ups, jumping jacks, jumps and jabs.
"We are in bear habitat," said wildlife manager Ty Petersburg of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, speaking last Thursday at a meeting of the Evergreen Alliance for Sustainability.
People who live in mountain areas need to be aware of the bruins' presence and take measures to keep a safe distance, Petersburg said.
"Everyone wants to talk about saving the bears," Petersburg said.
The Intermountain Rural Electric Association is planning to produce 13 megawatts of energy at a solar generation facility that will be developed northwest of Bennett.

More than 60 volunteers worked with Jeffco Open Space staff to transform a well-used informal path into a stable trail at Elk Meadow Park on Saturday.

"It's hard work, but it's enjoyable," said volunteer Hannah Mehsikomer. "I use the trails a lot, and it's a way of paying back."
A Wilmot Elementary fourth-grader has taught fellow students they can make a difference in the lives of others. She taught herself that one person can move a school to do special things.
Kileigh Ackerman, 9, encouraged students to make blankets for patients at Children's Hospital in Aurora. The kids made 40 blankets at a Friday afternoon blanket-making party recently.
Last week, she and a friend, along with Kileigh's mom, Deidre, and principal, Matt Cormier, went to the hospital to drop off the donations.
Owners of Ambary Gardens LLC are almost ready to sell a "nanogel" online that tastes like cake icing and is made of hemp extract from plants grown at a Kittredge greenhouse. The substance is used to treat things like epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder and Alzheimer's disease, the company says.
Groups on both sides of the contentious Jeffco school board recall election have employed funding methods that conceal donors' identities.
Since efforts to recall conservative board members John Newkirk, Ken Witt and Julie Williams were launched in late June, Jeffco residents have been inundated with information from both sides.
A Bergen Meadow second-grade classroom looked more like an art museum recently, with depictions of flowers hanging around the room.
The pictures created by the children were of zinneas, columbines, hydrangea and lotus.
Second-graders in Michelle Feola's class have been writing descriptive paragraphs about flowers — and as the final part of the project, they used crepe paper, construction paper and some ingenuity to make 3-D depictions of their blooms.
A fire early last Thursday caused extensive damage at a historic bed and breakfast in Morrison.

The CR Inside Team
If you have not previously attended a One-Day Seminar or the Celebrate Recovery Summit at Saddleback Church, even if you have been up and running for six months or longer, this seminar is for you. Pastors and lay ministers interested in reaching out to their congregations and communities are invited to attend this special One-Day Regional Seminar to learn more.
During this event, you will hear an overview of the program from founder John Baker and his wife, Cheryl. Their testimony will show the power of God's healing hand and how it led to the birth of a recovery movement. You will learn best practices and pitfalls to avoid as you start your ministry, gleaning from their 20+ years of experience.
New leaders are encouraged to attend the One-Day Seminar to learn the basics. Experienced leaders can go deeper into the dynamics of Celebrate Recovery by attending the Advanced Leadership Training Seminar.
This event is for those who have already attended a One-Day Seminar or the Celebrate Recovery Summit at Saddleback Church. The Advanced Leadership Training Seminar will run concurrently with The Seven Keys of Celebrate Recovery Seminar to provide a great experience for your Celebrate Recovery leadership team. While your new leaders are attending the One- Day Seminar to learn the basics, join your experienced leaders and go deeper into Celebrate Recovery dynamics and training.
During this one day event John Baker and the National Training Team will help you navigate through, and optimally utilize, the Advanced Leadership Training Guide, containing 20+ years of training developed especially for Celebrate Recovery. You'll gain the knowledge and skill to take a first time attendee along the path from active participant, leadership, and, ultimately, to become a valued T.E.A.M. member.
The Celebration Place Training will examine why CP is important to your Celebrate Recovery, how to start and run your CP program and offer a time of Q&A.
The Landing training tract will include how to implement the 90 day start-up plan, model what a typical Landing meeting should look like and discuss ways to effectively train leaders.

If I Said You Had a Nice Body, Would You Hold it Against Me?
Pick-up lines are cheesy.
Want to start a conversation with someone and you don't know how?
It's simple.
1. Say hello.
2. Follow it up with your name and something relevant to the current situation and non-cliched.
(Please don't resort to the weather. I have a theory about talking about the weather. There are two types of people: people who complain no matter what the weather is and people who love the weather no matter what it is. If you fall into the first category and start a conversation with me about the weather, you might note that I am nodding but my eyes have glazed over and I'm plotting my escape).
3. Do that amazing magical thing that your mom has been telling you to do since you were seven:
Be yourself.
But if that seems too daunting, you could always do like this guy and resort to song lyrics:
Relephant, hilarious and NSFW bonus:
Like elephant love on Facebook.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

Kate~Blink 182 lyrics don't work well, or perhaps it was his delivery?
Maybe he would have fared better with Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones:
Zep~ "Hi!! Squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my leg? (I go well with vodka and tonic)".
Zep~ "Hey-hey mama said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove!!" (maybe it sounds better in Swedish: Hej-hej mamma sa att vägen som du flyttar, gonna orsakar att du svettas, gör gonna dig spår!!)".
Stones~ "Well, we all need someone we can cream on. If you wanna, you can cream on me." (unless you work on a dairy farm or in the porn industry, cuz then it would be like…boring)".
I found the girl in the 2nd video annoying and I feel sorry for her dog.
One velvet morning, she will wake up next to Tucker Max and think, "I have arrived, muthafckas".
Kate, you're just stating your own preference! Which is sweet – and entirely cool. But none of that works with most women. Zilch. For one thing, you're assuming that most women are looking for something real!! Too much down to earth sincerity can strike a discordant note, suggesting some need for reciprocity, and that prospect is often extremely disconcerting to the modern urban female. It can even be viewed as an intrusion. Better just to make her laugh, gently compliment her on an element of her dress, and make sure you show her your bling. Did you hear about that big tornado in Iowa?
So what about the women who DO want something real? Clearly Kate is one of them, as am I. I can tell you pick-up lines absolutely don't work for me, either. It would be nice if a man actually spoke to me like a human being.
That's because you guys are both sweethearts (among other things) – and obviously don't live in Washington, DC? Real is an occupational hazard here. The whole point is not to be. It's actually in your employment contract, I think.
"Maybe I just know a lot of weirdos" ~Kate, I resemble that comment. And I don't remember meeting you
[…] but it seemed all at once there were three eligible men swarming around. I live in NYC and yes—dating is a scene. Also a friend from childhood who I hadn't heard from in four years now works for a dating service […]
First off I would like to say excellent blog!
I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas
out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?

Kerstetter had a team-high 14 points, two assists, and four steals, while Boone chipped in with 13 points, three rebounds and two steals for the Tribe.
William and Mary drops to 2-7 on the season, while Old Dominion improves to 6-5 on the year.
Old Dominion took an early lead thanks to a 9-0 run early in the first half. With the scored tied 4-4 Destinee Young hit a layup, after a Monarch stop Becca Allison hit a jumper and was fouled, hitting the free throw pushing the Monarchs lead to 9-4. ODU was able to continue the run as Allison hit four free throws and another basket to give the Monarchs a 15-4 advantage.
The Tribe didn't go away though, and was able to trim the Monarchs lead to six points with 5:43 to go in the first half. After Odegua Oigbokie hit a lay up, putting the Monarchs up 10, the Tribe went on a quick 4-0 spurt. A pair free throws from senior Kaitlyn Mathieu and steal and bucket from Kerstetter brought the score to 22-16.
Old Dominion was again able to build its lead to 12, but the Tribe answered with a 5-0 run right before the half. Boone knocked down a pair of free throws, and Mathieu recorded a steal, leading to a 3-pointer by sophomore Brooke Stewart at the first half buzzer. At the break, the Monarchs led 32-25.
Both teams traded baskets to open the second half, but Old Dominion used a 9-0 run to build its largest lead of the game at 47-28. Tiffany Minor started the outbreak with a layup, and Shae Kelly followed with a traditional three-point play. Back-to-back-layups from Galaisha Goodhome and Oigbokie ended the Monarch run.
William and Mary used a 6-0 run to bring the lead back to 10 points, 51-41 with 5:02 to go. The run was sparked by a triple from freshman Marlena Tremba, and a jumper from Kerstetter. The Tribe continued to battle, but couldn't cut the ODU lead to less then 10 for the last five minutes of regulation.
Mathieu finished the game with eight points and six rebounds, while Tremba chipped in seven points and five boards. Boone, who played the logged 40 minutes of game play, finished the game 5-of-15 from field and a perfect 3-for-3 from the line.
For the seventh time in nine games this season, the Tribe forced (21) more turnovers then they committed (15). It is the fourth time this season the Tribe has forced its opponents into 20, or more turnovers.
William and Mary, which has a week off for the holidays, returns to action on Saturday, Dec. 28 in the first round of the Cyclone Challenge hosted by Iowa State. The Tribe plays Saint Louis at 2 p.m., and will play either nationally-ranked Iowa State or Holy Cross depending on result on Dec. 29.

TV Squad Ten: TV celebs worth following on Twitter
Yep, I got a Twitter. It's part of my plan to plaster the Internet with links to my must-read blog posts about '90s indie rock and that handsome bastard Neil Patrick Harris (don't ask). Fortunately for you, some clever TV stars also use Twitter for fun and shameless self-promotion.
Here are ten fan-friendly TV celebs worth stalking on Twitter. Unlike that fake Stephen Colbert, these guys are all one-hundred percent, real-life paparazzo magnets.
1. John Hodgman
Your kid sister probably knows Hodgman as the "I'm a PC" Guy from those Apple commercials. You, of course, know him by his tour-de-force performance as "Fertility Specialist" in Baby Mama. Hodgman's non-stop smart-alecky tweets, and his online conversations with fellow Tweeter "Twitterkins" (Best Week Ever's Paul F. Tompkins), remind me of his great Daily Show appearances. Hodgman's Twitter page is also the best place to find other funny web-friendly comics to follow.
2. Wil Wheaton
Former Squadder and Star Trek: The Next Generation star Wheaton seems to have conquered every cool corner of the web. He's turned his minor celeb status into full-blown Internet stardom with funny and personal blog posts about pop culture, geek conventions, technology and life on the starship Enterprise. It's no surprise that he's a king on Twitter, where he makes the nerds swoon with tweets about writing, acting, and life as a geekdad.
3. Stephen Fry
The British actor, author and Twitterholic is a must-follow who cleverly interacts with his online fans. Fry, who once played Oscar Wilde in a movie, recently inspired his followers to make up phony Wilde quotes to post on the web. (Check out the results.) Following Fry is like having a brilliant buddy who makes you feel ashamed of yourself for reading tabloid journalism and wolfing down Quarter Pounders every day. Or maybe that's just me.
4. Felicia Day
The Dr. Horrible actress has a huge Twitter fan base (more than 18,000 followers so far). Following Day on Twitter means getting behind-the-scenes info about her web series, The Guild, plus tweets about gaming and technology. Day also offers a few web video-making tips. These are great, since she doesn't hail from the Chris Crocker school of suck. Not bad for a potential slayer.
5. Greg Grunberg
A must-follow for die-hard Heroes fans (all seven of you who are left). Grunny has yet to tweet about his show's slip in quality, but the dude makes good with the behind-the-scenes info and silly photos featuring his Heroes cast mates. (This one was passed around the TV Squad office last week). He's also the celeb most likely to answer direct messages from fans and comment on fan podcasts.
6. Brea Grant
If you could buy a box of "Follow Greg Grunberg" at the supermarket, they'd probably toss in a bag of Brea Grant's tweets for free. The spunky speedster from Heroes uses the site to interact with fans and famous friends almost every day. Like Grunberg, she also posts pictures from the set and her travels.
7. Penn Jillette
Twitter was made for outspoken and opinionated dudes like Penn Jillette, the talking half of Penn & Teller. Refreshingly, Jillette mostly offers funny personal tweets about his kids, concerts, and movies instead of calling "Bullsh*t!" on society's stupider innovations (he saves that for his show). Now, if he would only tweet about playing Drell, the warlock on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, then he'd be at the top of this list.
8. John Cleese
Yes, it's The Real John Cleese. And yes, he makes the Internet funnier every day with his tweets. The Monty Python legend's Twitter account is a gateway to his many other web projects, including an odd "Headcast," a podcast and random videos shot at his country house.
9. David Hewlett
Luckily, Hewlett is nowhere near as arrogant as Dr. Rodney McKay, the character he plays on Stargate Atlantis. Judging by his daily tweets, the self-proclaimed "all around geek" is a loveable, self-deprecating sci-fi star who likes keeping his fans updated on everything he does. Read about his trip to the UK, his post-Atlantis life, and his nights partying with that pimp, Bill Nye the Science Guy.
10. The Karate Kid's Sensei John Kreese (aka Paul Scheer)
The only '80s movie baddie who could karate-kick the crap out of Freddy Krueger -- except for Jason -- is alive and well on Twitter. I have it on good authority (i.e. the Internet) that Human Giant prankster Paul Scheer might be behind this Karate Kid character's virtual poetry. Sample tweet: "Today I'm going to make my knuckles bleed, what are you going to do?"

Don't like it
It's nice but I really don't like it because the faces are just pasted from pictures instead of being honestly drawn.Also,the pictures have their mouths open.Another problem,It's too short. Also, You can move the projectile by pressing the arrow keys after launch which makes it way too easy.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
I like the idea of the game, it was just a little repetitive and didn't have to much variety.

Hard Rock's 2008 Ambassadors of Rock Tour (AOR), a global concert series featuring top artists and bands, sets another killer stop on its worldwide trek. Actually, make that five stops. Mötley Crüe, heavy metal survivors of self-inflicted '80s decadence, will join the AOR Tour for five big shows across Japan, from Fukuoka to Tokyo. These boys survived themselves and continue to rock harder than ever. Believe it. From October 21 to October 26, Japan will be under the influence when Vince, Tommy, Nikki, and Mick bring their rock to the people and the people bring their love of rock to Vince, Tommy, Nikki, and Mick. Go check it out for yourself. Japan loves the Crüe more than most and these shows are gonna be off the chain. Check out ambassadorsofrock.com for ticket details, more Ambassadors of Rock tour date announcements, artist interviews and a look back at every stop of the tour. You can also upload your own pictures from any of the shows. Do it! Do it now!
Oh, the '80s. What a wonderful decade. At least for the boys in Mötley Crüe, that is. The '80s brought them great success and riches as they rode atop the heavy metal wave that sprang from the volatile and churning currents of the Los Angeles music scene. Unfortunately, the '80s also brought them monstrous drug addictions, from which they'd eventually emerge years later, thank you very much. They've learned and experienced much in the last 27 years and they haven't slowed down a bit. Well, maybe Mick, but that's not his fault, as you know if you know anything about the guys. Mötley Crüe has endured, despite their worst habits, and have come out the other side stronger than ever.

Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Windows is a series of graphical interface operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft.
Version history The term Windows collectively describes any or all of several generations of Microsoft operating system products. These products are generally categorized as follows: Early versions Windows 2.0 was released in December 1987 and was more popular than its predecessor. Windows 2.1 was released in two different versions: Windows/286 and Windows/386. Microsoft To Release Windows for Tablets in 2012 [REPORT] Microsoft will release a tablet-oriented version of Windows no sooner than 2012, Bloomberg reports, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Despite Steve Ballmer's bombastic statements in July last year, when he said Microsoft is "hardcore" about tablets and that we can expect "a lot" of Windows-based tablets by the end of 2010, none of the tablets that actually did hit the stores made any significant impact on the market. The reasons for this are quite clear: Windows 7 simply isn't optimized for use with modern tablets with finger-based input. Remember the long, painful transition from Windows Mobile 6 to Windows Phone 7? Once again, it will take time for Microsoft to deliver the user experience it needs to be able to compete with Apple's iOS and Google's Honeycomb. The 2012 release date for Windows 8 is in line with what we've previously heard.
IN MEDIA Announces $399 Windows 7 Tablet PC, Shipping Early 2011. Whether or not Windows 7 has a place on tablets or not, it isn't stopping some brave companies from releasing consumer-oriented slate computers running Redmond's latest operating system.
Today, IN MEDIA announced the release of the uncreatively named "Windows 7 Tablet PC". Powered by a 1.66GHZ Intel Atom processor, the tablet sports an HDMI interface, a forward-facing camera, an 11 1⁄4 by 6 inch LCD screen, built-in eReader functionality and a 160GB hard drive. IN Media CEO Nick Karnik in a press statement touted the device's ability to play Flash videos, too. Onkyo Announces Snoopy-Themed Windows Tablet. I thought we'd get a Hello Kitty tablet before anything else, but today Onkyo Japan has announced a Snoopy-themed Windows tablet [JP, PDF] for the local market (Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, to be more exact).
Buyers will get a rebranded Onkyo device with a Snoopy drawing on the back, a Snoopy stylus, and a special "Peanuts" case. Onkyo also throws in a set of special screensavers, Snoopy wallpapers, icons, a Snoopy calendar etc. Report: Microsoft Won't Release Dedicated Tablet OS Until 2012. Microsoft will be releasing Windows 7 tablets this year, but its dedicated tablet build of Windows 7 reportedly won't land until next year.
(Source: Microsoft) Microsoft looks to arrive VERY late to the tablet game. Windows 8 slate from Microsoft in 2012. Following on from comments made by Steve Ballmer earlier this week Business Week is reporting that Microsoft won't be releasing a Windows 8 tablet until early 2012.
Citing "people with knowledge of the plans" it is also said that Microsoft will begin public testing of the OS later this year, which is in-line with Ballmer's comments. It seems like a sure sign that tablets are taking over the personal computing market as a lot of the talk surrounding the next version of the Windows Operating system has been focused on Microsoft's tablet plans.
With 2011 set to be a fierce tablet battlefield all signs point to Microsoft turning up late though hopefully it will be well suited for battle when it does arrive. With Android poised as the main competitor with some key devices set to be released over the coming months Apple will find the market share balance shifting significantly. Windows 7 tablet roundup from Computex, nay Tabletex.
Yep, that's what we're calling this year's Computex since you truly cannot go a few steps on the show floor without stumbling upon a new tablet of some kind. If you've been reading our coverage for the past few days, you know that Intel and Microsoft didn't show up in Taipei empty handed -- both of their booths are incredibly well stocked with new slates. Most of them, which range from early prototypes to quite functional, have 10-inch displays, run Windows 7 Premium and pack Intel Atom Z or N series processors -- in essence they're very much netbooks sans the keyboard panel. There are way too many of them to count, but don't you worry, we've rounded up some details and shots of the most appealing ones on display here at the show. Follow on after the break for a look at some of the newest Wintel tablets.
Microsoft Said to Plan Windows Release for Tablets in 2012. Windows 8 Tablet Demos May Arrive in June. As Windows 8 Milestone 3 begins, there are reports that Microsoft may demo the OS on tablets this June.
Previous reports have indicated that Windows 8 will be modular in nature, allowing Microsoft to remove portions of the OS that's not required for mobile devices like tablets and smartphones. Now there's talk that Microsoft plans to show its tablet version of Windows 8 by the end of its fiscal year in June. The news arrived by way of an unnamed source claiming that Microsoft plans to take a more Apple-like approach to interface design. It will also borrow from Windows Phone 7 by incorporating various concepts from the "Metro" interface. But as Business Insider points out, Metro is based on the old Media Center UI that was shipped with Windows XP back in 2004. Unfortunately, no other information was provided. Windows 7 Tablets: Now or Never - PCWorld. As I watch the Tablet Revolution, 2011 Edition unfold, I'm struck by the similarities to the first go-round of tablets a decade ago.
As before, PC manufacturers are largely focusing on vertical markets in enterprise applications for Windows-based tablets. But this time, in doing so, the industry may be missing the point of why Windows tablets may be desirable outside the business realm. We've heard a lot of chatter about putting Windows 7 on a tablet--including a headline-grabbing keynote at the 2010 CES--but we've seen very little movement to make it happen.

Citing an anonymous source close to the company, technology blog Boy Genius Report has reported the Research in Motion PlayBook, the company's long-anticipated entry into the tablet market, will be released on April 10. If true, that would mean the RIM device would launch just a month after Apple releases its iPad 2, which the company recently announced would be available to consumers on March 11.

" "It's a fast innovation cycle and a fast imitation cycle in this market," Oakes said in an interview with Laptop magazine. RIM initially announced it would enter the tablet market in September.

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Featurettes Focus on Ninjas and Bruce WillisDamon Houx March 7, 2013 @ 5:30 PM
We're less than a month away from the release of 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' (unless Paramount decides to bump it once again), so we're now pretty close to seeing this long-delayed project. One thing that's been annoying about the delay is that they haven't offered much new footage since the trailers that debuted over a year ago. So, to get a better taste of the movie, these two new featurettes on the movie offer a little more.

Calcite (limestone) cylinder seal
Third Dynasty of Ur, about 2050 BC
From Mesopotamia
'May I live by the benevolent wisdom of my master!'
Seals, like this one, were not just made to act as a mark of authority when rolled across the damp clay of a cuneiform tablet. They could also be dedicated in temples to receive the blessings of a god. The figures depicted on this seal are a goddess with both her hands raised, probably lamma. She introduces a worshipper, either the owner of the seal, or more probably, King Shulgi, to the god Meslamta-ea who holds an axe and a multiple mace. Before him is a date-palm altar.
The cuneiform inscription translates 'For the god Meslamta-ea, the king, true might of Lagash; for the life of Shulgi, the strong man, the king of Ur: Kilula, the chair-bearer, son of Ur-Bagara, has made [this seal]'.
Dedicated objects, like the temples where they were deposited, were usually given their own personal names. According to the inscription this seal is called: 'May I live by the benevolent wisdom of my master!'
Shulgi (2094-2047 BC) was the second ruler of the Third Dynasty of Ur. The origins of the dynasty are obscure, but the founder, Ur-Nammu (2112-2095 BC), established control over southern Mesopotamia, including the state of Lagash. This empire was consolidated under Shulgi and his influence stretched east into Iran. These achievements collapsed, however, less than fifty years after Shulgi's death with incursions of Amorite tribes and an Elamite invasion from the east.
