Each HDF-EOS file contains core metadata with Quality Assessment (QA) metadata flags that are set by the Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) at the Global Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC) prior to delivery to NSIDC. A separate metadata file (.xml file extension) is also delivered to NSIDC with the HDF-EOS file; it contains the same information as the core metadata. Three levels of QA are conducted with the AMSR-E Level 2 and 3 products: automatic, operational, and science QA. If a product does not fail QA, it is ready to be used for higher-level-processing, browse generation, active science QA, archive, and distribution. If a granule fails QA, SIPS does not send the granule to NSIDC until it is reprocessed. Level-3 products that fail QA are never delivered to NSIDC (Conway 2002).

6 Bag O' Munchkins Pawns
Product Information
|Steve Jackson Games
|Card Games, Strategy Games
Product Description
Age: 10+
These six Munchkin pawns are identical to those found in Munchkin Quest. The obvious thing to do would be to keep this set around for the day one is lost. A slightly less obvious use for them is to mark your place in non-Munchkin games, showing the world just what a munchkin you are.
But true munchkins will, if their friends let them get away with it, use these pawns in othergames.
In Munchkin:
Any time you are entitled to go up a level -- or when you do something that WOULD earn you a level if you weren't already Level 9 -- you may, instead, place a munchkin pawn in front of you. In any combat, you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus. You may only have one in front of you at a time. Unless, of course, you "lose" these rules and tell the other players that you're allowed to have more. Six is a good number.
In Other Games
Because you're a munchkin, you may claim a munchkin advantage for using these pawns in ANY game. For instance:
In any roll-and-move game, if you use the munchkin as your pawn rather than one that came with the game, then once per game you may add or subtract 1 space to the move you roll.
In any game in which you start with money, then if you use the munchkin as your pawn, you start with 10% extra. Round up, of course.
In chess, a munchkin pawn can move forward two spaces at any time.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It was just three years ago when Hallie Twomey's life change dramatically when her son committed suicide. Since then, she's made it her mission to make something positive out of what was a tragedy for her family.
After her son C.J. took his own life, Hallie and her family decided to donate his organs to save other people's lives.
It's a cause Hallie knows well, because her father is a heart transplant survivor.
"Being an organ donor, it's not a statistic," Hallie Twomey said. "There are faces behind it. We are the reality of organ donation."
Hallie Twomey has been working with the New England Organ Bank over the last several years, and organized a blood drive recently with the American Red Cross and the organ bank on the anniversary of her son's death.
Twomey said this is the third year she's organized the event, with the goal of sharing information and raising awareness about organ donation.
"My biggest fear is that my son will be forgotten, which is a mother's worst nightmare. C.J. is worth remembering, and these are just ways that we honor his memory," Twomey said.
More than 130 people showed up at the third annual event to honor C.J. Twomey.
The New England Organ Bank said there are more than 117,000 people nationwide waiting for a live saving organ transplant.

Hallie Twomey is also conducting a fundraiser to raise money for the New England Organ Bank. For more information, click here.

Donald Sutherland
Anthony Hopkins Linked With Rumored HBO Version of 'The Corrections'
Especially after Oprah Winfrey chose it as one of her Book Club picks and he famously turned down an invitation to appear on her show.
Rumors have swirled for years about possible movie and TV adaptations of the lengthy tome and now there are reports that producer Scott Rudin ('The Social Network,' 'There Will Be Blood') and writer-director Noah Baumbach ('The Squid and the Whale,' 'Margot at the Wedding') are close to a TV series deal with HBO.
According to Deadline, the cable network may soon place an order for a pilot episode.
It's also been reported that none other than Anthony Hopkins has expressed an interest in playing one of the central roles.
Donald Sutherland, David Henrie Get Pilot Roles and More Casting News
According to TVLine, Sutherland will play the father of Brewster's character, Stacie, a lawyer. The Jack Black-produced pilot follows a magazine writer played by Jon Dore. Sutherland's character is described as a pompous and successful heart surgeon.
The pilot is based on A.J. Jacobs' 'Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life As An Experiment.'

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Izzard will play Long John Silver, Wood has been tapped as Ben Gunn and Sutherland is playing Flint in Syfy's new adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson tale.

A&E Cancels 'The Cleaner' & More TV News
Jane After Dark: Sexy Samantha talking Greek in Scrubs
Dirty Sexy Money: The Complete Second and Final Season. I really liked this show at the beginning. It had all the elements of a great series, including excellent actors (starting with Donald Sutherland, Jill Clayburgh, and Peter Krause) and intriguing storylines with rich people, sex, murder, and mystery. But by the time they got to season two, the storylines just seemed to fizzle out. I would love to hear your thoughts on why Dirty Sexy Money didn't work. Crummy writing? Poor use of great actors? Too many characters to keep track of? Poor timing with the writer's strike occurring in the middle of its run, resulting in ten months between seasons?
Bonus features: Directing the Darlings (behind the scenes with director Jamie Babbit); A Total Knockout (a day in the life of Natalie Zea, who played Karen); Dirty Sexy Crafty (a featurette about the food on the set); Faux Pas (bloopers); deleted scenes.
TV News Daily: Bob Barker Returns to 'Price Is Right'
The former 'Price Is Right' host is returning to the show for an episode this April -- and he'll stick around just long enough to promote his upcoming autobiography 'Priceless Memories.'
In other news, Donald Sutherland will be the roguish patriarch of 'The Eastmans,' the co-creator of '24' takes on 'The Kennedys' and more.
See more of today's TV headlines, casting scoops and premiere dates after the jump.
Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies, and Dirty Sexy Money coming back this summer
I should point out that when I say "coming back this summer" in the headline I mean that ABC is bringing them back to burn off the remaining episodes that haven't aired yet. That's right, six months from now is the earliest you'll see any of these shows return. They could even come back later.
Pushing Daisies has three episodes left, while Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money each have four. Fans of these shows might not like this, but the truth is, the shows that have been in the time slots for these shows have actually done better in the ratings.
Dirty Sexy Money: The Verdict
(S02E05) That was more like it! Just as I was about to write off this week's episode as another bland installment of Dirty Sexy Money, down came an embarrassment of primetime soap riches. Letitia's trial was resolved with the kind of speed only possible in TV-land, and we got a cliffhanger and three major shocks to boot! Read on for the details.
Dirty Sexy Money: The Silence
(S02E04) Election night on Dirty Sexy Money was about more than simple politics. There were lost children, marriage proposals, and bribes to worry about. With so many major things happening, though, I wish some of the minor storylines had been cut from this episode. Nick's gradual transformation into the next Tripp Darling is fascinating, and we finally got a better idea about Simon's master plan. Next week's installment appears to be a lot meatier (and soapier), so I'm not worried.
Dirty Sexy Money: The Star Witness
(S02E03) We already know what it's like to be a Darling: lavish parties, vast conspiracies, and emotional outbursts. This week's episode gave us some insight into what it's like to be a George: same psychological problems, less money. Letitia's upcoming trial brought Nick face-to-face with someone from his past, and this person had quite a story to tell.
Dirty Sexy Money: The Family Lawyer
(S02E02) The Darlings had to bury one of their own this week, and they sent the deceased off in style. Sure, the eulogy was written about someone else and some of the mourners were arrested, but that's part of the fun of these events. The rest of the episode was business as usual--power struggles, inappropriate sexual partners, and suitcases filled with cash. No complaints here.
Dirty Sexy Money: The Birthday Present (season premiere)
(S02E01) The Darlings are back! Despite all the behind-the-scenes personnel and casting changes, Dirty Sexy Money appears to be better than ever. Loyal fans were rewarded with a major development in last season's murder mystery, and the premiere gave new viewers plenty of reasons to come back for more. Season One feels like it ended ages ago, but "The Birthday Present" was the perfect refresher course in the elements of this gorgeous, twisted world.
Paley Festival: Dirty Sexy Money
Last night, I attended the Dirty Sexy Money panel. For what happened during the panel discussion, read on past the jump...
On the 6th Day of Festivus, TV gave to me...
... Six welcome returns.
Every fall season I get stoked about all the new shows, with cool new premises ("A guy travels through time trying to make right what once went wrong!"-- Journeyman not Quantum Leap), and all the big changes in store for existing shows. But it's equally exciting to see which beloved actors will be returning to television. Brad Garrett coming back to television in 'Til Death last year? Cool! Patricia Heaton and Kelsey Grammer both coming back to television ... together? That's gotta be awesome, right? Jerry O'Connell on Carpoolers ... well ... ? I like the guy, but I'm not scheduling a 'Welcome Back' shindig for him.
Half the fun of a new television season is the return of great actors and actresses to the small screen. And while I could have easily done 10 or even 20 of these, I've narrowed it down to the six talents who were most welcome back in my house on a weekly basis this past year. I've even been so bold as to rank them. Feel free to agree, disagree and present your own lists in the comments.
Dirty Sexy Money: The Nutcracker
(S01E10) The Darlings certainly know how to prepare for the holidays, don't they? Not only did they have a performance of "The Nutcracker" in their living room, but they found time to battle Simon Elder. Every week it seems like another Darling is involved in the plot against Simon--I can't wait for Juliet and Jeremy to join the fray. The twins can be excused, however, since they were busy with their gorgeous significant others.

Economy & Business
The youngsters seem to be doing just fine without Tendulkar. It's good since cricket is a team game and no individual, no matter how good he is or how many records he has created is not bigger than the team. Hope the Indian youngsters continue their winning streak!!
We'll hear cheers for Sachin in every Stadium India plays even after Sachin takes retirement.
Great! Remember world cup? Team India heavily relied upon tendulkar and It was because of tendulkar India could reach semis. Remember the match against South Africa, where tendulkar scored a century and the rest of the team fell like stack of cards???I Virat and Gambhir were there even then in the team!! My point is not to condemn Virat or Gambhir, no doubt they are capable. But No one except you in the world would write this kinda aricle. MI have dedicated their win to the master and have said that it was his presence and guidance that led the team to victory! Tendulkar is a precious asset to any team. Grow up mate!
let the master be there as long as possible,let the youngesters learn from him.there s more to learn from him than they have already learned.its still possible that indian team might need his presence to motivate n inspire!
sachin made cricket to where it is today.. he is a living legend and a hero to a billion people and possibly more.. When is cricket is mentioned anywhere in the world and the word batsman comes toany mind with the records he has achieved and still living it is only one man and the name is SACHIN TENDULKAR !!! A cricketer who needs no introduction hes bat does the talking in runs and in thousands and Centuires which no player has matched to nearly hitting 3 figure.. So dont insult the sportin legend, we all seen the other counties heros whom come and gone or maybe trying to match by saying player is greater.. biggest joke of the century...!!!!
these kholi and all short term players , short tempered and finally not respectable personalities like Sachin and dravid.
Very first class player can play cricket. But what made sachin different from all other players is his devotion, his attitude, his calmness and his down to earth attitude.
So no need to write hundreds of line for one century.
don't compare sachin with anyone...he is the greatest ever
no one can beat india it does not matter if sachin play or not youngsters r in good mood to play against any team of the world.go india
I disagree. Still Sachin is the best among all other batsman in the team. As long as he can show his best form, he should continue. Sachin should play 2015 world cup provided he can continue with his good form. Your article is quite absurd
For all the questions raised on Indian Cricket and its "need" for Sachin, this article seems like it was written by Shane Warne.
Leave India go to aus,sa,nil,eng,Sri Lanka where ever India is playing you will here only sachin sachin
no Sachin_rt means no cricket ..... We don't was the matches, in which srt is not playing...........
cricket god
Harshith, you are right.
Indeed, one would imagine how could someone come up with such a tag-line? It just shows people's memories are short-lived. The entire article looks paradoxical, the way you started the article, I thought I was going to be treated to something sarcastically brilliant only to end up feeling the complete opposite. Mr Wills, I'm not taking any credit away from the youngsters; yes,they are our future-still, your portrayal of Sachin in the article just shows your immaturity in framing the article. The way you have stressed upon the instances where Sachin wasn't much involved/ contributed that well shows your ignorance about the sport. Honestly, if I were to jot down the instances highlighting Sachin's achievements, my points would would end being 10 folds bigger than your entire article. Pardon my ignorance, please briefly go through the entire Cricketing history before you write another article.
Sachin is Sachin, come what may, wherever he goes and however he finishes his cricketing career.
How many time Sachin has to prove that he is Master Blaster, nobody can take his place and Indian Team need him, As now Indian team is playing on home Ground and in country, the same team in England could not win even a single match. all new youngster can play in Indian pitches only, real talent comes in picture when you play outside India. like sachin plays. his most of the century is out of India and with a good team like australia.
Baap baap hota hai and beta beta.
this is use less... do u hav any qualification to comment on sachin... he is god
This is the same Indian team, which has lost against England in England. Now, in India, they are beating England. We have to win matches in foreign pitches like Australia, England, S.A, etc where the pitches are good for fast bowlers. In India, all are bad pitches. Reporters, media, etc are blindly praising Virat Kohli, Dhoni and others , if they score century. Why they have scored in England recently? So, please dont
compare Dravid, Tendulkar with Virat, Gambhir, Dhoni............ please think and write column.
No one loves cricket just because it is a very interesting game to watch and paly,there are lot of other games more interesting like football,its because what sachin has made cricket in this country.
Useless article....
SACHIN IS GOD. Indian cricket NEEDS him. We are nothing without him. My heart is filled with sorrow after reading hurtful comments by people saying sachin is gone and we can do better without him. We cannot and we never will people.

Few, if any beer styles offer such a wide-ranging array of flavors as saison. Alternately referred to as "farmhouse ales" for the French and Belgian rural structures in which the style originated, no two taste the same, and therein lies the glory of the saison. Anything goes…and we like that! Tangy, earthy, peppery, herbaceous, floral, spicy and fruity are among the numerous descriptors that can accompany this rangy beer style. So, when conceptualizing our new Stone Saison, we were essentially able to go in any direction we wanted. It seemed only right to bottle up a Belgian-style beer that, while different from most of the incredibly hoppy offerings we're known for, clearly embodied who we are; something 100% Stone! It was a tall order, but one sip is all it'll take to show fans why we think we came through with flying colors.

Brewing Stone 03.03.03 Vertical Epic Ale at Home
by Lee Chase
Alright, now this is going to be a little different than last years (OK, a LOT different!!). By now you might know that these "Vertical" beers are not just the same recipe as each other, they are designed to be quite different than each other. We are not trying to make the recipe as difficult to brew as possible (we're not doing triple decoctions, or aging them in oak barrels for 3 years… yet!). Instead we're just trying to make what we think is a great beer, and have a little fun in the process. So read on, and do the best you can. That's kind of what I did…

After listening to this lesson, you can say "I'm sorry." or "Excuse me." in Korean. You will also learn how to say "Excuse me. Let me pass." when you have to walk through a crowd of people. While it is simple to memorize just one phrase for each case, it is not so simple after all because even the same expression cannot always be applied to the same situation between English and Korean. Want to find out why? Listen in now!
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.

More than 13,000 attend 17th annual Komen San Diego Race for the Cure
SAN DIEGO - It was a sea of pink at Balboa Park on Sunday for the 17th annual Komen San Diego Race for the Cure.
Mixed in the crowd of more than 13,000 people are many family members walking in memory of a loved one who lost their battle to breast cancer.
One of them is Denise Nasrawi. Her mother was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in July of 2011. She says they lost her a month and four days later.
That is why Nasrawi chose to walk for a cure, the annual event which raises money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
75 percent of what is raised will stay in San Diego, funding programs that will help pay for exams such as mammograms, chemotherapy and even the purchase of wigs. The rest will go towards cancer research.
It is something Robin Marella stands behind 100 percent. Just three years after losing her mother to breast cancer, she was diagnosed herself.
"Her last words were I love you and you're beautiful," said Marella. "Those words carried her through everything I went through with breast cancer."
Now, 11 years later, she is cancer-free, joining more than 2.8 million cancer survivors.
She hopes to inspire others to fight proudly, starting with attending events like the Race for the Cure.
Organizers say they were able to raise $1.1 million, but that number will likely change because this is a month-long campaign and more donations still need to be counted.

Beth Young's Fundraising Page
Hello to all our family and friends!
This is our family's 3rd year fundraising for The Diabetic Youth Foundation (DYF). This year will be our 2nd year on the committee for their annual Families in the Forest Walk which raises funds for Bearskin Meadow Camp. Many of you have heard our stories from the 5 years we went to camp and the many years Chris has attended Kids Camp. There are no words to describe how our visits to camp have improved our ability to help Chris manage his diabetes as well as help him gain his independence in learning to manage on his own.
To put it simply, camp changes you. It helps you realize you are not alone in your efforts to give your child a normal life. It gives you the opportunity to laugh, cry, share, and learn. It is thanks to Jim's parents that we finally attended camp 5 years after Chris was diagnosed. I didn't want to go - I felt that I didn't NEED to go. But I was wrong. I needed more than anything to share MY story and listen to others tell theirs. I needed to know that Chris was going to be okay now and in the future. To know he HAD a future that we could look forward to. Bearskin Meadow Camp did that for us. And now it is our turn to help others experience the Bearskin Magic.
We lovingly ask you to join us as we raise money to support the DYF so more diabetic children and their families can attend camp or participate in the other year-round programs offered by the DYF. You can make a donation or you can join us at this year's walk which is on May 1, 2011.
Any amount you can give will help. The last two years, the DYF has lost some of the big grants that have been given in years past so they are very much in need. We know you have many other worthy causes to support so we ask you to consider the DYF if your plans for this year if possible.
Once again we thank you and will keep you in our prayers.

1997 - The safest gun season ever with one fatality and 10 injuries; 'Earn a Buck' provision scuttled; early Zone T (October gun) season in seven management units and three state parks.
1998 -Gun harvest of 332,254 is fifth highest; bow hunters take a record 75,301 deer, 18.5 percent of total; 19 firearm incidents with two fatalities; after a mild winter, most DMUs estimated to be above population goals; early October season held in one management unit, 67A.
1999 - Record gun harvest of 402,204 deer; record archery harvest at 92,203; licensed hunters at 690,194, second highest to date; resident deer license costs $20; non-resident license $135; early archery season, traditionally closed a week before November gun hunt, is extended in all 7 Zone T units through the Thursday preceding the traditional gun opener.
2000 - The gun harvest jumps by more than 125,000 deer to an all-time record of 528,494. With 694,712 licensed gun hunters, their success rate is an astonishing 76 percent. By comparison, in the 43 years from 1966 to 2009, the average success rate for gun hunters is 37 percent.
2001 - Routine testing by DNR, weeks after the close of hunting, reveals that three deer harvested in the Town of Vermont in Dane County had CWD, or chronic wasting disease. The gun harvest drops to 361,264, still the fifth highest on record and higher than any harvest prior to 1995. Archery harvest remains high at 83,120, so the total harvest is fourth highest on record. October and December Zone T gun hunts in 67 DMUs.
2002 - The DNR and hunters begin looking for answers after CWD is found for the first time in wild deer east of the Mississippi River. For two decades, the always fatal, contagious disease had been largely confined, in the wild, to deer and elk in Colorado and Wyoming. DNR reacts aggressively, setting up a CWD management zone, with expanded hunting, and a smaller disease eradication zone, with a 14-week gun hunt. DNR samples 41,000 deer statewide for CWD. License sales drop 10 percent.
2003 - Bow hunters harvest a record 95,607 deer. Gun deer license sales up 14 percent over 2002, climbing to 644,818. Earn-a-buck rules in effect and no bag limit in the CWD management zone in southwest Wisconsin; 115 wild deer test positive for CWD with all but two positives from the disease eradication zone.
2004 - Hunters set a new record with venison donations by giving 10,938 deer yielding nearly 500,000 pounds of venison for food pantries across the state. Widespread use of earn-a-buck and Zone T hunts. Bow hunters set yet another record, harvesting 103,572 deer. License sales up slightly to 649,955.
2005 - Top five gun deer harvest counties - all located in central Wisconsin - are Marathon (15,871), Clark (13,918), Waupaca (12,260), Shawano (11,748) and Jackson (11,461). DNR tests 4,500 deer in the agency's northeast region and CWD not detected.
2006 - Gun deer license sales at 644,906. Demographics show a gradually declining number of hunters nationwide due to a variety of changing social conditions. DNR, wildlife organizations and hunting clubs across state are ramping up efforts to encourage young hunters. NRB has approved a special, 2-day youth hunt in early October. Total gun harvest is 393,306, fifth highest on record.
2007 - Wisconsin's 156th deer season; archery harvest peaks at 116,010 deer; gun hunt now lasts 23 days in the CWD Zones; 57 of Wisconsin's 130 DMU's have earn-a-buck rules.
2008 - Most of southern Wisconsin now lies within the new CWD-management zone; focus has shifted to managing rather than eliminating the disease; rifles can be used to hunt deer in previously shotgun-only areas of the CWD zone; more than 642,000 licensed hunters kill 352,601 deer during all gun seasons.
2009 - The new "Mentored Hunting Program" is introduced, allowing any licensed hunter aged 18 or older to take any new hunter age 10 or older on a hunt. The mentor does not carry a weapon and stays within arm's reach of the novice. Nine-day gun hunt opens with unseasonably warm temperatures and heavy fog throughout much of the state. Gun harvest drops to 241,862.
2010 - Hunters may now divide a deer into up to five parts (four quarters plus the head attached to the spinal column and rib cage) to facilitate removal from the field. Hunting regulations are available on DNR's web site; 19 DMUs in the north have buck-only hunting during both gun and bow seasons to allow herd to grow in the north. No earn-a-buck units except in CWD zone.
2011-Archery season is extended through the gun deer season. Deer numbers begin to rise in north. There are no October herd control hunts outside the CWD Management Zone. Hunters in the CWD Management Zone may shoot a buck first before having to follow earn-a-buck rules. CWD detected in a doe harvested outside of Shell Lake in Washburn County, prompting sampling and public outreach. State hires independent deer trustee to review Wisconsin deer management. DNR embarks on multi-million, multi-year study to quantify various causes of deer death (whether by hunter, disease, weather, vehicle collision or predation by wolf, bear or coyote.) More than 400 hunters volunteer help make the first year of field research a success.
2012 - For the first time since 1995, there are no October herd-control gun hunts anywhere in the state. CWD zone hunters can make their first deer a buck under "bonus buck" rules. Anyone may now hunt with a crossbow during any gun deer season. Hunter participation in deer field research remains strong; $5 introductory licenses for various game species are introduced to help recruit new hunters and encourage past hunters to return.

Two fullbacks out, rookie Zach Line gets last shot as starter
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Zach Line understands the luck it takes to go from undrafted at the Minnesota Vikings' rookie minicamps in May, to starting fullback in the NFL less than four months later.
The stars simply aligned for Line, who will make his third start on Sunday.
"Could things have worked out any better? You could've written a story," Line said. "It's not fortunate for Jerome [Felton], but he's a seasoned vet, he'll come in and do a great job right away. But it gave me the opportunity to come in and get some real-time reps, otherwise they may have been very few and far between."
Coming off a Pro Bowl season, the Vikings' starter, Felton, was suspended for three games after a DUI arrest over 14 months prior. Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns will be Felton's last benching before he returns to practice on Monday.
With backup fullback/tight end Rhett Ellison also out with a hyperextended knee, coach Leslie Frazier said there's no change in scheme as long as tight end John Carlson and Line stay healthy.
"It makes a difference if something were to happen to Zach or John," Frazier said. "It would make a difference to how many 2-back formations we end up in. Hopefully everything will go fine with the guys we have back there."
Line's expertise comes with the football in his hands, but he's had to learn on the job as the Vikings' fullback -- a position he hasn't lined up in since junior year of high school.
He didn't ultimately commit to fullback until late in the team's offseason programs and, really, that was the only way he could've made the team.
"Coming from running back, I've been trained for four-plus years to avoid contact," Line said. "I'm trying to not tell everyone where to go, I wanted to at first, wanted to tell the ball where to go, position myself to tell Adrian [Peterson] where to run, so can't do that."
Fortunately for the Vikings, Felton's suspension came before their slew of cuts at the end of August. Whether that played a factor or not, they chose to sign Line for at least the first three weeks.
Felton is eligible to return to practice on Monday and the Vikings must make a roster spot available -- making Sunday's game a little more of a test for Line.
Ellison's absence gives the rookie even more room to work with, but he said there's no clock ticking in his head.
"No," Line said. "I mean, I have no control over that. If it is, it is, if it's not, it's not. Just getting that first win. It'd be nice to get a win under my belt as a starter."

I first encountered the Beowulf saga while performing with my band at a local midwinter festival where a storyteller was doing the entire saga starting late in the evening around a roaring fire. This dual translation is good enough to serve both the lay reader who has a serious interest in Beowulf as a tale to be savored on a cold winter's night as fire roars in the background, and the student who must learn Beowulf in the original language of Old English. Professor Chickering, Jr. has done an outstanding job of presenting a dual language Beowulf that truly makes sense.
If you don't already know about Beowulf, all you need to know is that this epic tale tells the epic story of the life and death of the legendary hero Beowulf who encounters not one, but three supernatural monsters. Beowulf -at least as it's written down by its anonymous scribe -is the great oral stories of all time. The tale tells how Beowulf battles Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the Dragon. It also deals with Beowulf's men and his leadership of them.
I should note that Professor Chickering, Jr. has done a truly great job of providing the needed material to fully appreciate Beowulf. He has incorporated the most recent scholarship in the field of Beowulfian studies and he provides the necessary historical and literary background. It's worth noting that the commentary includes alternative versions of difficult passages when need be.
It's also worth stressing that the last facing page edition of Beowulf was done in the Victorian era! This new dual facing page edition allows the reader to encounter the wonder of Beowulf as poetry. Just read a few lines of Beowulf - or better yet gather a group of friends, get some good mead, and sit around the fire of an open hearth on a cold winter's night taking turns telling the entire tale on a dark winter's night. You may well wake with a headache -- as Beowulf and his men did on many a morning -- but you'll appreciate the sheer joy of the Beowulf saga. Just remember to firmly bolt the door before you go to sleep!

It's name is a bit misleading, as it wasn't actually owned by Anne Hathaway, but where Anne, the wife of William Shakespeare, lived as a child. Set in extensive gardens it's located in the village of Shottery, about 1 mile west of Stratford-upon-Avon. The earliest part of the cottage was built prior to the 15th century, and was known as Newlands Farm in Shakespeare's day, having more than 90 acres (36 hectares) of land attached to it. It was owned by the Hathaway family until 1846, when financial problems forced them to sell it. However, it was still occupied by them as tenants when it was acquired in 1892 by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
Before stopping off in Stratford centre, we had a guided coach tour of the town and surrounding area, taking in the Hathaway Cottage, where we had a 20 minute stop off to grab a few photos, but not long enough to actually go inside. Couldn't decide which of these images to lead with, so uploaded in the order taken.
Single Raw images processed in Adobe Camera Raw 7, tweaked in Photomatix Pro 4 and Photoshop Elements 11.

My very first week-end away with mrs. salty (before she became mrs, s.) was to Stratford. We stayed at a hotel (can't remember the name) where all the rooms were named after Shakespeare characters or pieces.
We stayed in The Midsummer Night's Dream room.
We had, needless to say, a dream weeek-end
The thing I remember about this cottage was how short the beds were, and the mattresses were sacks filled with hay.

A beautiful building, well kept, with lovely roof and windows. And thanks for the description.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has arrived in Kabul on an unannounced visit to Afghanistan.
Clinton will meet Saturday morning with Afghan President Hamid Karzai to discuss U.S.-Afghan civilian and defense ties. They will also speak about stalled Afghan reconciliation efforts.
Clinton will then head to Japan for an international conference on Afghan civilian assistance. Donors are expected to pledge around $4 billion a year in long-term civilian support.
Clinton arrived in Afghanistan from Paris, where she attended a 100-nation conference on Syria.

|New York vs
|79 - 97
|Record: 29-44
Miller, who plans to retire after this season, has long tormented the Knicks and their fans -- most notably film director Spike Lee -- with his clutch play in crucial games at the Garden. On Tuesday, however, he went just 3-for-15 from the floor and finished with 13 points.
As the clock wound down in the final two minutes, the crowd chanted "Reg-gie, Reg-gie." When the game ended, Miller walked across the court and embraced Lee, who had watched the game from his usual courtside seat.
Stephon Marbury had 19 points to lead the Knicks, who have lost seven in a row and saw their slim playoff hopes get even more tenuous.
The Pacers, with their fourth win in a row, moved ahead of Cleveland in the race for the seventh Eastern Conference playoff spot. The Cavaliers lost 111-80 to New Jersey on Tuesday night.
Jackson, who turned 27, was 12-for-22 from the field.
Miller was the first Pacer announced in the pregame introduction and was greeted with a loud mixture of boos and cheers. Some fans held up signs reading: "Reggie Thanks for the Memories," "Reggie Please Don't Retire" and "We Love Reggie."
After coming out for good earlier in the fourth quarter, several fans yelled "thank you" to Miller during a timeout with 2:33 left. He nodded his head and raised his hand in acknowledgment.
New York fans are all too familiar with Miller's heroics for the Pacers. In the Eastern Conference finals in 1994, he scored 25 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter -- trading verbal barbs with Lee along the way -- to lead the Pacers to a 93-86 win and force a seventh game, which the Knicks won.
The following year, Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds in the final moments of a 107-105 win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at the Garden. Miller's outburst included two 3-pointers, a steal, a rebound and two free throws.
Anthony Johnson had 13 points for Indiana, and Dale Davis added 10.
Tim Thomas had 13 for New York, while Kurt Thomas had 12 points and 12 rebounds. Jamal Crawford added 10 points.
Indiana guards Fred Jones (lower back spasms) and Jamaal Tinsley (bruised left foot) did not dress. ... Knicks coach Herb Williams, a longtime player for New York, was asked before the game what remembrances he had of Miller's play against the Knicks. "No memories," he said with a smile. "I'm blank."

Carine Roitfeld could have almost any job in the fashion industry now that she's not at the helm of Vogue Paris anymore. But yesterday's news that Stefano Pilati would leave Yves Saint Laurent threw some more confusion over Roitfeld's trajectory into the air.
Hint Mag hinted at the idea that Roitfeld would either launch a Paris edition of Harper's Bazaar or she'd run off to work at Yves Saint Laurent. But, in this version of the story, she'd be working with Hedi Slimane, who many expect will replace Stefano Pilati after his Fall 2011 collection comes down the runway during Paris Fashion Week. Pilati's tenure at YSL has long been plagued with rumors of low performance and clothes no one would want to buy, but a recent spike in sales at YSL would seem to dispel that concern. Nevertheless, there are some people in the industry who talk as though Pilati's contract has already been terminated.
But in the event that our theory is correct (you know, the one that says Pilati isn't going anywhere), that still leaves the Roitfeld-starting-Harper's-Bazaar-Paris thing wide open. Roitfeld said in her interview with Style.com's Dirk Standen that her career future might very well be in magazines. With Hearst's recent purchase of Elle's international brands, setting up a Bazaar office for Roitfeld next to French Elle's Valerie Toranian might not be the worst idea in the world.
But we could be completely and totally wrong here — we can't say for sure whether or not these rumors are based on discussions that have actually happened or well-timed conjecture and speculation. Either way, it's fun to dream — and to watch and see what happens.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - Mansfield Elementary School was the only school in Newton County and one of 26 elementary schools in the state to receive a platinum Greatest Gain state academic award, the Georgia Department of Education and the Governor's Office of Student Achievement announced Friday."Schools that showed the greatest improvement in (Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests) or (the Georgia High School Graduation Test) and had a significant percentage of students who exceeded standards on the tests" during the 2006-07 school year were named to the Greatest Gains list, which is separated into four categories: platinum, gold, silver and bronze. According to a statement released by the Georgia DOE, "The award winners are determined by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Education, based on a the Single Statewide Accountability System." The departments awarded 110 Georgia schools with the Greatest Gains award and 153 schools in the state with the Student Achievement award, which are the schools with a high percentage of students meeting standards on the CRCT or GHSGT. This is the first year Mansfield Elementary has been awarded in the Greatest Gains category. "We weren't striving to get this (award)," said Mansfield Elementary Principal G.W. Davis. "But when you are taking a test that will determine if a student goes to the next grade level and if your school will be on a Needs Improvement list, of course we're concentrating on it." He said the students especially are responsible for the award. "They are the ones who deserve credit for it, as well as the teachers and parents who helped them prepare for the tests," Davis said. Platinum schools must have made adequate yearly progress for three consecutive years or more and had 35 percent or more students exceeding standards, according to a statement from the Newton County School System. Specific school data was not yet available as of press time, but Davis said the school always had made AYP. "Most of the schools aren't making (AYP) for one population, but because we're a small school, we don't usually have that because it takes 40 students to make a subgroup, so part of it may be that," Davis said. "But we have really good students. We aren't in an area that's particularly affluent, but we have a number of working parents who believe in the school and support the school. It's a very good situation." Davis said he's nervous about No Child Left Behind requiring that schools have 100 percent proficiency on the CRCT by 2014, but the school continues to encourage students to do better. "Every year, we work on it," he said. "We just do what we're supposed to do." Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

De-amalgamation Update Port Douglas
This Sunday marks the first hundred days of the new LNP State Government and we anticipate that sometime today (Friday 29 June) the Minister for Local Government, the Hon. David Crisafulli, will announce the appointment of a Boundaries Commissioner along with the terms of reference for the appointment.
FODS met with Minister on May 24th in Port Douglas to discuss the probable steps in a de-amalgamation process. This appointment is the beginning of that process but we have a long way to go and much work to do and will need your help.
The Commissioner will look into the financial viability of the split and its implications for both the Douglas and Cairns communities. The Minister indicated that the actual boundaries would revert back to those that existed before amalgamation. There will be a two month period for the community to make submissions to the Commissioner.
FODS has begun constructing our case but we need to see the terms of reference to understand what format and content the submissions should have.
FODS will be in touch again this weekend once we have examined the terms of reference and are better able to outline how you can all help. Given the way things are going within CRC we need our Shire back more than ever.
The Honourable David Crisafulli
Mr Meng will examine proposals from former councils who show strong community interest in returning to their 2008 boundaries.
Local Government Minister David Crisafulli said the de-amalgamation process won't be easy but communities deserve the right to put forward a case.
"We would prefer councils try to make amalgamation work because, despite the pain and suffering Labor put many communities through, the social and financial costs to de-amalgamate could be even worse," Mr Crisafulli said.
"While many councils have moved on after the brutal amalgamations, in a handful of cases, the wounds are still raw.
"We believe in giving local communities the chance to put forward a case to return to their former shires but with a full understanding there will be costs involved."
Any council wishing to de-amalgamate will need to:
• Provide a strong, evidence-based, community-backed submission based on the pre-amalgamation local government boundaries.
• Table a detailed estimate of the potential financial costs.
• Demonstrate an understanding that the former shire wishing to de-amalgamate will have to meet all costs involved.
• Provide a petition signed by at least 20 per cent of the voting population.
The Commissioner will assist the communities as they prepare their submissions, which must be made to the Minister by August 29.
The Minister will decide which submissions meet the criteria and pass them on to Mr Meng who will work with the Queensland Treasury Corporation to determine the exact financial costs of de-amalgamation.
The commissioner's report, due by November 28, will be made public and include an analysis of the benefits and costs, financial forecasts for the de-amalgamated council, recommendations on reallocating community assets and electoral arrangements.
If approved, proposals will go to a referendum where residents in the area wishing to break away can vote for or against the de-amalgamation.
Mr Meng served as Mayor of Mackay Regional Council for the four-year period immediately following amalgamations and has a good understanding of local government.
"Queenslanders feel very strongly about their communities and there is no doubt that some still feel they lost their identity during the forced amalgamations in 2008. This process will help them look to the future," Mr Meng said.
The appointment of the boundaries commissioner was one of the State Government's First 100-day Action Plan commitments and a key component of its Empowering Local Government policy platform.
The Terms of Reference are available on the Boundaries Commission website at www.qld.gov.au/deamalgamation.

I'm having a hard time dealing with non-existing after life. I mean I don't believe in any Gods so therefore there is no reason to believe in an afterlife. I know my conscious mind will be gone and therefore I will not be aware of anything but i still can't believe in completely and total darkness after life.
what do you all believe happens after death? Maybe hearing others opinions will make me feel better about this.
Views: 432
Heres why i no longer have fear of death... maybe it will help..
There are basically two ways we go out of this world.
1. Instantly - In this case i wont have time to think about it so why fear something you cant or wont see coming. To live with a fear of whats around the corner would stop me from enjoying whats right here now.
2. Over time - in this case i will know my death is oncoming and have time to reflect and enjoy the richness of my existence and make peace with myself. Again nothing to fear here since i have time to accept it and depart life with a full heart.
No matter which happens to me fearing and living my life with that fear will do nothing but hamper the life that i am living now and detract from the reflection in the second case above. I refuse to rob myself of happiness today for fear of tomorrow.
thank you Stephen! that was what i needed to hear!
Death doesn't bother me because I realize just how special and unlikely life is. Nonexistence didn't bother me before I ever came to be, so why should it bother me at death? I will some day cease to be. Consciousness will be gone, senses gone, etc. The chemical and electric reactions in my body will eventually stop and I'll be a simple collection of biological matter. I simply feel that death is just that... the end of the road. No afterlife, and quite frankly that doesn't bother me.
Here's a video of Richard Dawkins that puts it quite eloquently.
My wish for 'after life' is this: Please cremate my body and send the ashes to space, so none of my remaining atoms have to deal with all these idiocy.
To date I have been given no evidence that would lead me to believe anything other than death being the end of an individual person's existence.
I came across this quote the other day that I think applies to your question in a way:
"Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order." - David Gerrold -
Now that's funny. And true. I'm going remember that.
Afterlife is a fairly good song by Avenged Sevenfold.
True, there is no evidence that what we call "ourselves" or our "soul" that sets behind our brain center exists after death. But let us keep in mind that science has not yet determined what "we" are. One view is that we really aren't, that we are just software running on our brains. I'd be fine with that, except that there are zillions of creatures that have come into existence and whatever "I" am is setting behind the brain center of this one specimine in particular. Why not any other?
I think until we understand what we really are, we are only able to say that we just do not know what happens to our consciousness when the brain shuts off. Science should study it. Perhaps if we're successful at wrestling this line of exploration away from the religions' grubby hands we can declare it fair game for science.
I disagree. Believing in an afterlife is just as preposterous as believing in a deity.
No it isn't. There is no comparison at all. And there is no need to wait for the science to catch up with favored world views as the science is already pretty clear about leaving no room for free consciousness floating about in extra dimensions or any of that.
We did have very good reasons to suspect there were planets around other stars. It's part of our theory of the genesis - if you will - of planetary systems and that of the physics of fusion processes in and life-cycles of stars. It would be very hard - I mean to a point of absurdity - to explain the absence of planets forming in the molecular clouds when they gravitationally collapse.
It is was only, very very difficult to see planets around other stars - even small ones or moons within our own solar system. (Only in the last couple of weeks or so we discovered a natural satellite orbiting our own planet and that in a distant past the Earth might have had one more moon.) It was only waiting for the development of accurate and a practical methodology. They are now being detected using statistical analysis in recorded lightcurves.
There are no reasons whatsoever to suspect there being extra-cephalic consciousness floating around. In fact it is a brain function that isn't even guaranteed within our brains and most of what we do we don't need consciousness to take a part in at all. It is actually an extremely small part of what our brains do, containing only a few bits of information at any one time as one day we might develop methods to measure it directly

22 cruise ship passengers robbed in Mexican seaside resort
Twenty-two Carnival Cruise Lines passengers were robbed of valuables and their passports during a shore excursion in the Mexico seaside resort of Puerto Vallarta…
The passengers were robbed Thursday during a guided trail excursion, according to a statement released by the cruise line.
The cruise line did not provide details of the robbery, saying only that there were no injuries and the tour was suspended on future sailings under further notice. "Carnival is working with guests to reimburse them for lost valuables and assist with lost passports or other forms of identification," the statement said.
The robbery comes two weeks after the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning to Americans to avoid all but essential travel to all or parts of 14 Mexican states, including the state of Jalisco. Puerto Vallarta is the sixth-largest city in Jalisco.
The State Department also warned travelers to use caution in visiting part of Baja California, Colima and Morelos…
Puerto Vallarta has remained a tourism hotspot, drawing college students during Spring vacations as well as cruise passengers.
