Not since Tsuritama ended have I seen such an expression of pure joy communicated so brilliantly in anime.
- Tagi's presence as the backstop of the team, both as a keeper and as a leader. He defines the "I have your back" mindset perfectly. What a great addition to the cast.
- Tagi's friendship with Aoto, and his unending emotional support for Shou – who was the one Predator staying home to help him defend for most of the match.
- Misaki's role. Don't forget, Amarillo have a training partnership with her professional club – but she clearly lost her heart to Shou and Erika. Yet it was she who comforted Kageura at the end, and pointed out that a loss was the best thing for him. He was still by far the best player on the pitch.
- The blind soccer training, put to use by both Shou and especially Ouzou, when he was blinded by sweat.
- Aoto setting up the winning goal by clanking the ball off the crossbar – which we've seen him do as a practice obsession many times.
- And finally, Shou scoring on a header – which was the very first thing Hanashima-san taught him about soccer.
3-U back and watching from the stands, but the smaller squad means everyone gets a chance to stand out. I loved, for example, the moment when Erika smiled in the middle of the match when thinking about Shou, and Kouta's easy deference to Aoto after Reika earned a PK. And Reika certainly has come a long way, blossoming in her role as Libero – cleverly set up as the one element that the ultra-thorough Amarillo coach didn't catch in his scouting reports.
Japanese National Squad players from the GeK special in the booth.
phantom "Lightning" kick he showed us was quite unlike anything I've seen in sports anime – a moment where he was just a kid himself, a boy who loves soccer before anything else – expressing the feeling of every ex-player who coaches, surely, as he exclaimed "I want to play!" Even that supremely honest and genuine moment was topped, though, by his reaction after Shou scored the winning goal in extra time. That was pure, unadulterated happiness – one of the best coaching moments in sports anime history.
that moment was a reward for the audience as well as the character. The Tireless Terrier is finally the hero, though in his quiet way he's been the hero all along. There would be no Momoyama Predators at all without his relentless efforts, and every one of his teammates (and his coach) knows it.

Do little kids actually threaten to run away and join the circus anymore? Do people still go to the circus anymore? When I think of "circus," I think of "vaguely mistreated animals and freakish humans objectified for the amusement of the masses."
Or, if it's "not that kind of circus," then I think you are talking about homosexual, ambidextrous French people.
Either way, I'm not thinking of "fun for the whole family," and I'm certainly not thinking of a place that people run to in order to be free and live beyond society's rules and prohibitions.
But I'm no longer a Biglaw lawyer. If I was, maybe leaving my job to join the circus would be like living a dream…
This departure memo comes from Mintz Levin. It's kind of bland, until our guy gets to what he's doing next:
Today will be my last day at Mintz Levin. I am fortunate to have started my career here, and for the opportunities that the firm has given me. I will miss my friends and classmates with whom I summered back in 2008, as well as the humanity and good humor of everyone in the New York office and the Corporate group. I am grateful to have counted myself among your ranks over these last few years.
I am running away to join the circus. I have taken a new position with Circus Flora, a lovely and unique one-ring traveling circus based out of St. Louis, as Associate Artistic Director. I welcome your clown jokes and corporate-law-as-circus metaphors, if they are funny.
Please stay in touch: [redacted]
All the best,
[Clown Lawyer]
Well, I've waited a year for the right place to use this reference:
So, what is this Circus Flora? Well, let me Google that for you:
Founder's Vision Statement…
Circus Flora is a Theater Company, specializing in one-ring circus production, based on the focused energy of traditional circus arts, and showcasing the working partnership of humans and animals. It is our goal to create a truly American Classical Circus, with a narrative that engages audience members personally and emotionally. The world class company of Circus Flora becomes a family, preserving classical circus traditions, particularly of Europe, while incorporating innovative techniques and original new artists. We are dedicated to sponsoring young talent and fostering new acts through programs of education and outreach. Each production of Circus Flora presents not only a theme, but a story, serving as a framework in which our ensemble company can celebrate life – a life in which humans and animals are closely united in one physical and symbolic sawdust ring.
Here's a photo of the associate working at Mintz Levin:
I can certainly see why he'd want to leave Biglaw and join the circus.

Might be getting my first horse
Hey guys, well I have been riding for 7 years and have part loaned horses before and have been to 4 riding schools.. im experienced in horse care.
Well I used to ride a horse named Mystery when I was about 12, I rode him for nearly 3 years but moved on to learn more and other riding schools.
He is 22 now and I'm almost 16, and he has been living out for about a year and the owner offered me him for free because she knows I love him and basically wants him to be sold now as he can't be used as a riding school horse anymore.
I am taking a 2 week trial to see if i can handle having my own horse.. truth is I'm really scared things will go wrong! Do you guys think I'm ready?
i think with your experience you should be ready! but dont forget to ask for help if you ever doubt anything!!! CONGRATS!!!!
i think you'll be alright

At 5 lbs base weight he'll be fine doing 20s. Just start early. The 100 mile wilderness isn't tough at all terrain wise. The last 25 or so going into Monson are rough on the ankles but not intolerable.
Mine is as simple as a partial roll of tape and a couple of band aids. (0.5 oz)Does double duty for repairs. You guys never get blisters?
Yeah, I'd at least carry something for a first aid kit. Some pain killers, anti-bacterial cream and a few bandaids or tape and gauze. Some long distance hikers don't have anything, and I've often given them some of mine just to prevent infection and the like. Would you really want to have an open wound for a few days as you hike to town? Infection can be a real problem!
As far as first aid: I am thinking Leukotape for blisters, a few bandaids and one or two of the little singe use neosporin packets, I would have one if every few mail drops just so I always have at least one. Also, I am planning on talking with the Doc (who has been my family doc for years) about getting a prescription for just one or two vicodin in case things get ugly.And regarding how far I will hike, it is a valid point, and I appreciate it. I think when I did the 26 mile day I had a 10 mile day the next followed by an 18 miler. I will find out how far I realistically can go on the training hikes, they will also show my what I can do with the Blast 26.
Jace, You're a young, fit guy with a light pack and a lot of desire? Is that right?I bet you could do 30s day in, day out if you wanted to...
Edited by Found on 12/27/2010 01:33:21 MST.
Yup, I'm 16 right now and depending on when I leave I will be turning 18 on the trail. I am planning on doing the JMT this summer to see how far I really can pull in a day, of course there will be LOTS of backpacking between now and the JMT, and more importantly tons before the AT. The plan is to have most of my stuff pretty dialed in before I even start the trail.
You can shave 2 easy ounces off your ULA Rain Wrap by replacing it with a TrailLite Designs CloudKilt from ZPacks. Joe mentioned to me yesterday that he is planning on offering them in CT2K.08 this coming year as well as the CT3.5K.18 he currently offers them in. A regular in CT2K.08 should weigh 1.01 oz the short should be 0.86 oz.TrailLite Designs CloudKilt by ZPacks
Edited by ChemE on 12/28/2010 07:02:19 MST.
Sounds good, When it comes out I may end up selling my rain wrap on gear swap, hopefully someone will want it.
So I have just talked to someone who I know to be pretty experienced with thru-hiking (has done the PCT and CDT) and as I believe I have mentioned somewhere I would prefer to hike the PCT as it is one less plane ticket to buy (I live in SoCal and can easily get a ride to the southern terminus), and I will be starting out in familiar terrain.I will hope to hit the trail running, with 25 mile days right off the bat. I also plan to leave June 1st and hopefully catch up to the herd by kennedy meadows(ish).So you PCTers, how does this sound as far as timing?
I've had my Trail Lite Designs Cloud Kilt for a little while now. I'll just say this: get one! The ventilation alone is sweet, the lightness in the pack is sweet, sturdy & excellent craftsmanship, and the black color gives you some modest privacy for the privates when trying to do laundry & don't have extras of things to wash in. Some missings: (?)- bug headnet for Sierras- wind jacket- Bowie knife (ok, kidding!)- headwear (for sun protection or warmth) and also for sleeping- insulation piece (like Nano Puff, etc. )I highly recommend the Patagucci R1 Hoody. Highly highly. I love, nay, am in love with mine. (my PCT list is at http://thf2.wordpress.com/pct-gear-list/ ). 25 mile days straight off for the PCT is ambitious from what I have heard. Most start off 12-15 mile days for a week or so, then acclimate to higher daily miles. But hey, if you're 17-18, maybe you can slam it! :) I'm starting the PCT in late April '11, see you out there!
Edited by Pittsburgh on 01/02/2011 01:30:50 MST.
Yeah, I am trying to get my local gear shop (I have accumulated like $150 worth of gift cards there over the years) to bring in an R1 so that I can use the cards.It has been a bit of kit that I have wanted for quite a while. I won't be going out till 2012 (I got bored on a rainy day and started scheming), so make sure you let me know what I missed out on when you get back!
For sure, I'll have a full review :). And if you'd like, follow along, my website address is in my profile as well. I'll be posting updates (videos when I can) from the trail. Get the Hoody. If your shop carries Patagonia goods, it should be as easy as "Hey, this size, this color ." and it runs slim, not baggy. I wear XL in almost everything, and was true to form w/Hoody size. I can wear a baselayer under it, and a windshell or insulator over ( I'm using the Houdini for windshell, Nano Puff for insulator. Enjoy the planning, it's been a blast on this end!
Lisa, I thru-hiked the AT in 2010 and it was an amazing journey. I went NOBO but the hikes are not all that different. You will be starting in the heat. Yes Maine will be cool especially at night but you will hit NY in just over a month and it will be hot. My son and I hiked that section in July and had triple digit temps. That bring us to water. While I agree you probably do not need 4 liters but you will hit some dry sections if it does not rain. Springs in PA that were flowing in early June were dry in late July. In NJ and PA the rocks are unreal. That was the only pace on the trail I got a blister. My footbeds rubbed the sides of my heal and became painful. I trimmed them and continued to hike. I used only a couple of IB's and nothing else out of my first aid kit until I took a bad fall at Bemis Mountain in Maine. I used every band aid to tape up my shin that a rock shaved to the bone. I picked up additional band aids and hydrogen peroxide in the next town but ended up seeing a doctor when I got home to complete the healing process. Carry some pepto bismol just in case you pick up a water born bug.By the time you get to NC and GA the weather will be getting cool again. I was in VA in October and talked with SOBO's I met in Maine and NH. Over night lows were in the 20'. The mid-Atlantic states will have ticks but the worst should be over when you get there. The trails will some what over grown so expect to walk in weeds especially from Duncannon PA into Northern VA.As for the 100 mile wilderness I carried 3 1/2 days of food out of Monson. I stopped at the White House (pricey) and ate supper and breakfast. I also picked up a bag of potatoes for one additonal breakfast. The terrain for the first half of the wilderness will be easy but will get harder at White Cap. From there Maine will get progressively harder and unlike western trails the AT is constantly up and down. Many western hikers are surprised by all the elevation change. I averaged 18 plus miles a day and could of topped 20 but the days I hiked into town and spent the rest of the day eating killed my average. Most days were 23 to 28 miles. It makes for a long day but then thats what you are there to do. Hike!Hope your hike turns ut as sucsessful as mine.EZ Hiker AT 2010

Penn-Trafford keeps breaking records
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Just when you think the Penn-Trafford girls golf team can't do any better, they go out and smash a school record.
That's really nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won 2 consecutive regular-season matches.
Penn-Trafford defeated Mt. Pleasant, 143-208, on Wednesday on the back nine at Irwin Country Club, breaking its nine-hole record by five shots.
The only thing Penn-Trafford (10-0, 6-0 in Division II, Section 1) hasn't achieved is a WPIAL or PIAA title.
Penn-Trafford finished second to Central Valley in last year's WPIAL golf championship.
Senior captain Gianna Pro, who along with junior Haley Borkovich, shot an even-par 34 at Irwin, said losing at last year's finals is motivation.
"We've all improved as a team, and we pick each other up," Pro said. "If one falters, someone else is there to pick them up.
"We have six great players on the team. We want to win WPIALs and make it to states."
Penn-Trafford as been tested only once this season, a 162-169, nonsection victory against perennial Division I power Upper St. Clair at St. Clair Country Club. Borkovich said that victory proved the team could beat anyone.
"We've been working hard," Borkovich said. "We played a lot of golf in the summer, and we try to challenge ourselves every time we play."
Penn-Trafford coach Ed Herbst coached the team for seven years. Pro, Borkovich and junior Mia Barchetti are three-year starters.
Herbst tells his players that they are underdogs because Central Valley has everybody back. Central Valley won by seven shots last October at Cedarbrook.
"We'll have to continue to play well," Herbst said. "They are such a joy to be around, and it's a privilege to coach them. They've played hard ,and I'm seeing things from them I didn't see in the past.
"The girls have played at Meadowink where the WPIAL semifinals will be held and at Cedarbrook where the finals are. They're already getting ready to make a run at the title."
Royse Bachtel played well in the fourth position. She shot a 37 against Mt. Pleasant, and Barchetti had a 38.
Also battling for playing time are junior Morgan Rector and sophomore Casey Doran.
Others vying ready to step into the lineup are seniors Madie Grapes and Courtney Olesky and sophomore Rachel Huber.

Datron Dynamics' MLCube high-speed milling machine is the second machine in the Cube series designed for improved speed, accuracy, flexibility and durability. The machine features high spindle speeds and a large, 60" × 45" work area suited to nested or batch milling of many small parts from sheets of metal or engineered plastic, as well as long aluminum extrusions. Typical applications include work in the defense, aerospace, electronics, energy, medical part prototyping and production industries. When working with sheet material, the machine can integrate the company's line of vacuum tables for quick setup and workholding during the milling process.
Brushless, direct drives on all axes provide fast acceleration and shorter cycle times with feed rates ranging to 866 ipm. The machine can be configured with various high-speed spindles including a 1.8-kW, 48,000-rpm spindle; a 2-kW, 60,000-rpm, liquid-chilled spindle; and a 3-kW, 40,000-rpm, liquid-chilled spindle. The latter offers greater horsepower for heavier machining, as well as the flexibility to mill a wider range of hard materials. HSK-E 25 tool holders, available with the 1.8- and 3.0-kW spindles, provide additional precision and less than 1 micron of runout, the company says. Palletized workholding and advanced probing are available for reduced setup time and increased part quality and uniformity.

USAT Expands Competitive Opportunities for Paratriathletes
The Physically Challenged Division was developed, in part, out of concerns from visually impaired paratriathletes about potentially being required to wear blackout glasses on the run portion of USAT-sanctioned events following the implementation of a new competitive rule by the International Triathlon Union (ITU), and in turn USAT, in 2010.
The creation of the Physically Challenged Division allows USAT-sanctioned race directors to define how disabled categories – including the visually impaired category – can be designed to suit the competitor audience of their specific races, making it possible to have multiple classifications within a disabled category. Visually impaired athletes competing domestically in the Physically Challenged Division will not be required to race with blackout glasses.
The only event in the United States this year where the use of all ITU paratriathlon categories and regulations – including the "blackout glasses" rule – will be mandated is the 2010 USA Paratriathlon National Championship, slated for July 18 in New York City. This event is the lone qualifier for the 2010 ITU Paratriathlon World Championship. Athletes hoping to qualify for Team USA for the 2010 World Championship must adhere to all ITU and USAT competitive rules in New York. Additionally, there will be a non-qualifying Physically Challenged Division at the New York event for athletes who want to race without competing under ITU rules.
"The implementation of the Physically Challenged Division will allow for paratriathletes of all levels to compete in, and enjoy, the majority of multisport events," said USA Triathlon CEO Skip Gilbert. "The blackout glasses rule only impacts those athletes who want to compete for international titles. All other athletes racing domestically have the ability to compete as they always have without the blackout glasses."
In conjunction with ITU, USAT has been dedicated to developing the sport of paratriathlon for more than 15 years, and achieving program status in the Paralympic Games is their ultimate goal.
In keeping with the International Paratriathlon Committee's classification strategy, which ensures that "winning is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus" as in sport for athletes who do not have disabilities, ITU seeks to organize the best possible classification system in the world championship events.
According to the classification code, ITU offers a visually impaired category with a single classification. To ensure that all visually impaired athletes compete on a level playing field, the competition rule requires all athletes to wear blackout glasses on the run portion. As a member federation of ITU, USA Triathlon applies the same classification code to the 2010 USA Paratriathlon National Championship – scheduled for July 18 in New York City – only to athletes wishing to qualify for the ITU Paratriathlon World Championship.
"Due to the limited number of visually impaired athletes who have historically competed on the international level, only one classification currently exists in the visually impaired or TRI-6 category. At the past six ITU Paratriathlon World Championships there have been only 12 different TRI-6 athletes who have competed from just five countries worldwide," said Jon Beeson, chairman of USA Triathlon's Paratriathlon Committee. "Because of the distinct advantage to having partial vision as opposed to being totally blind, the playing field was leveled by ITU by requiring all visually impaired athletes to wear blackout glasses on the run portion of a triathlon."
In addition to the TRI-6 category, TRI-1 athletes (handcycle) also were faced with a major rule change in 2010. In order to level their playing field, they are now required to ride recumbent handcycles, as not all athletes in that category (i.e. paraplegics) can ride the "kneeling-position" bikes.
"Consistent rules in international qualifiers and world championship events are of the utmost importance for paratriathlon to remain a viable Paralymics candidate," said Gilbert. "Given this goal, USAT, as well as athletes hoping to earn a spot on Team USA, must comply with the international rules in these events."
The ITU and USAT paratriathlon committees, which include several experienced and decorated paratriathletes, are responsible for the development of paratriathlon rules on the international and national levels, respectively.
"USAT is sensitive to the fact that this rule may require some adjustments for athletes who are used to racing without blackout glasses and want to compete on the international level," said Gilbert. "With more TRI-6 competitors, it may be possible for ITU to populate multiple classes of visually impaired athletes and eliminate the blackout rule in the future. Until then, the sport simply cannot allow an unfair advantage of this magnitude to exist and still be considered for future Paralympic inclusion. All paratriathletes are amazing competitors, and USA Triathlon is proud to be able to support their efforts."
About USA Triathlon
USA Triathlon is proud to serve as the National Governing Body for triathlon – one of the fastest growing sports in the world – as well as duathlon, aquathlon and winter triathlon in the United States. USAT sanctions 3,100 races and connects with more than 133,000 members each year, making it the largest multisport organization in the world. In addition to its work with athletes, coaches, and race directors on the grassroots level, USAT provides leadership and support to elite athletes competing at international events, including World Championships, Pan American Games and the Summer Olympic Games.

Though thousands of books, articles and dissertations have been written about William Shakespeare the greatest playwright of all time and the greatest writer in the English language there's always room for more. Shakespeare: The World as Stage, Bill Bryson's concise, well-paced, buoyant bio of the Bard, is a welcome addition to this immense and, often daunting, &andoelig;uvre, made even better by hearing it read in Bryson's transatlantic cadences. Bringing his incurable curiosity, good-natured skepticism and storytelling savvy to the task, Bryson looks for the man in the scant, bloodless facts we have about Shakespeare's life. We know that he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died in 1616, that he married, had a family, then went to London to become an actor and writer, and we do have the nearly one million magnificent words he wrote. By combing the literature, including the work of the irrepressible anti-Avon advocates, visiting vaults of records, detailing this enthralling period of history and conjuring up the London of the time smells, noise, crime, crowds and all Bryson evokes the authentic, essential Will.
You can easily imagine the emotionally charged, who-holds-the-moral-high-ground conflicts in Tom Perrotta's new novel, The Abstinence Teacher, as lead stories on the local news. The author of Little Children is back in the well-to-do, all-American suburbs, but this time, while his characters are immersed in the everyday domestic hubbub of parenting and partnering, or lack thereof, they're embroiled in a divisive struggle over the separation of church and state and Evangelical pressure to conflate the two. Ruth, a 41-year-old divorced mother of two daughters, is a sex-ed teacher at the local high school who believes that pleasure is good, shame is bad, and knowledge is power. Now, because of rumblings on the religious right, she's been forced to teach abstinence. Tim, an unhappily married ex-drinker, stoner and rock musician who's been saved and born again, is Ruth's daughter's soccer coach. A collision, on many levels, is inevitable. Perrotta observes it all with compassion spiced with wry humor, and narrator Campbell Scott captures the voices, the mood and the moments perfectly.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist or political news junkie to figure out that Adam Lang, former British prime minister and the focus of Robert Harris' excellent new thriller-diller The Ghost, is modeled oh-so closely on Tony Blair. Lang is charismatic and energetic, he moved through the ranks at breakneck speed, was wildly popular when he went to Downing Street and wildly unpopular and under attack for his high profile support of U.S. military action after 9/11 when he left, 10 years later. Even the advance Lang is being paid for his autobiography jives with Blair's. Enter the ghost writer, the eponymous ghost, hired to replace a party faithful found dead, washed up on the shores of Martha's Vineyard where Lang and his abrasive, brilliant wife are holed up supposedly working on the memoirs. Just as the ghost arrives, Lang is accused of war crimes, including state-sanctioned torture. In the midst of this media circus, our ghost begins to sort out what happened to his predecessor and finds himself plunged into a bigger, far more dangerous intrigue that has a dozy of a denouement. Reader Roger Rees couldn't be better.
Eric Clapton, the legendary, iconic singer, guitarist and songwriter, lets it all out in Clapton, his honest recounting of his life and music, highs (in every sense) and lows, written, as one critic put it, better than most memoirists play guitar. Bill Nighy reads.

Ikea plans to ditch all of its CFL and halogen lighting for LEDs by 2015, leading the furniture giant's green tech arm to make a "strategic investment" in Design LED Products, a Scottish company that's pretty good with LEDs. Ikea gives DLP funding and, in turn, gets access to the lighting company's technology.
But Design LED Products does a lot more than make some light bulbs. Its specialty is something called the "Light Tile." It's essentially a grid of LEDs embedded in resin, forming an LED blanket that's less than 1 millimeter thick. The blanket can be wrapped inside a product to make it glow while drawing very little power.
Over at the Design LED Products website, you can see all sorts of ways Ikea could use the lights: bulbless lamps where the lampshade itself lights up; curvy, sculptural overhead lights that look straight out of a modern art museum. The technology can also illuminate LED screens (like televisions or pocket gadgets).
The design possibilities seem endless. We could see see Light Tiles making their way into Ikea's kitchen and office finishes, the bookshelves, and even the Poang chairs. And Ikea's success or failure in creatively using such LEDs could be very influential across the entire furniture market. Here's hoping our future is bright—but you know, not like, blindingly bright.

Awesome to see lots of these lighting technology go mainstream. Cree, OSRSAM, Lumiy and some of the other big LED design houses have really been pushing similar lighting technology over the years.
Great story and very interesting technology, but ...
Mark, we're not sure if "DLP" was your coinage for Design LED Products or not but in the field of lighting and imaging that usage should be avoided since DLP is a registered trademark of Texas Instruments.
Anticipating the possibilities of customising one own's ambient lighting in any space with any colours. Thumbs up to IKEA GreenTech.
Send me some and I will show what an obsessive artist can do with them! :) Stephanie
Just a comment on this particular product demo - the broken light strip seems like a deal breaker to me. Otherwise, the tile is awesome!
Make each light much smaller, make the lights much closer together, change the lights to be red, green, and blue, and connect it to the Internet.

Changelog:- Fixed reading player data- Supports now up to 6 players- Added new feature: Unlimited Resources- Added new feature: Edit Money (Experimental)
About money i'm not sure, give a report whether it works or not.
You said
"About scientists and engineers im not sure because i don't find a way to increase/decrease them while being at the base."
I solved it and way to see some numbers is to launch satelites in orbits and choose country that offers enf or scientists - the value of them will change and doing that you can see some numbers
hope it helps
ok then
We All looking forward to see stabilized version of editing scientisc enginering ,and speed building time
So far, it seems to work, just cleared my first base. No crashes. Guess I was messing too much in the memory block to find the scientists. I don't suppose the engineers and scientists values have been placed neatly next to each other?
I'll be refreshing to see the new version...
About research, scientists & engineers: I was able to locate and change everything successfully. But implementing it to the editor makes the game extremely unstable. So until i've found a solution i have sent the current version to Chris.
Everything else works great for me except the money editor on the base screen. It's just not increasing after a Num9.
Awesome work here man, everything else works just great!

Acid peels are fast becoming the treatment of choice for addressing the appearance of your skin. Acid peels are no longer a treatment reserved for celebrities and overpriced clinics.
Of all the treatments available, a home glycolic acid peel is by far the most popular of all the home kits around.
So how often can you do a glycolic acid peel?
Glycolic acid – An AHA acid (alpha hydroxy acid) a naturally occurring acid found in sugar cane, also part of a group known as fruit acids.
Glycolic acid peel solutions come in a variety of strengths, but the most common for home use are – 30%, 50% and 70%. A 50% glycolic peel is equivalent to a 20% salicylic peel or a 15% TCA peel.
If you have never done a chemical peel before, it's highly recommended that you start at the very lowest concentration – 30%. At 30% you will only see very light peeling or flaking, so there is no downtime. During and directly following the peel the skin will appear red or slightly irritated, but this will quickly subside. Most home kits are supplied with with an intensive moisturizing serum that must be applied after the peel to aid in the healing process. The skin is usually fully recovered after 7 days.
Although a 30% peel is very gentle, you will see a definite improvement in your skin. Wrinkles and fine lines will appear reduced, dark spots and scars (hyperpigmentation) and blemishes will fade.
Once you have experienced your first peel and the skin has healed fully, you can then repeat the process if necessary. With the lightest solution – 30%, you can undertake a peel every 2 weeks, but three weeks is recommended.
If you decide to graduate to a stronger and deeper peel, 50% is the the next step, but remember that with a deeper peel there will be some downtime. Depending on your skin type 3 – 4 weeks is usually required for your skin to fully recover after a 50% peel.
The 70% peel is the strongest and deepest peel available and should only be used by those who have had plenty of experience with home peels, are aware of what their skin can tolerate,and are confident in using it. The 70% peel can have dramatic results but there will be a longer downtime. Often a period of 3 – 5 weeks before the skin fully recovers.
Obviously, how often you do a glycolic acid peel all depends on your skin type, and what your skin can tolerate, but following instructions carefully and undertaking the recommended patch test before the main peel will ensure you see good results with no problems at all.

Movie Review – Paranorman
Review of the movie Paranorman.
The kids go back to school this week so last week I wanted to do something special with them. All three kids wanted to see Paranorman, so although that was not my first choice I was outvoted and took them to see it.
Paranorman is an animated movie about a little boy named Norman who can see, hear and talk to dead people, and dead animals as well. Of course nobody in his family believes him and the other kids at school think he is an odd ball and make fun of him.
Apparently the skill of seeing dead people is a hereditary thing and Norman's ucle who has been cast out of the family had the abiltiy as well. He tells Norman that he is dying and before he goes he needs Norman to know tha he is the only one that can stop a witch from coming out of the grave and raising the dead. According tothe uncle Norman will need to go to the cemetary and read a certain book in order to stop the witch from raising the dead. Of course nothing is ever as easy as it seems and soon zombies arae walking around town. Now Norman must find a way to stop them and the witch. Of course there is a big twist to the movie that I can not reveal.
The movie is written and directed by Chris Butler and co directed by Sam Fell. The voice of Norman is done by Codi Smit-McPhee. The most notable and recognizble voice in the movie is voiced by John Goodman who does the voice for the uncle.
Paranorman was actually a lot better than I expected it to be. It is an action comedy movie and for a kids movie was pretty exciting, but it still had a very sweet undertone to it. There are also some really funny moments in the movie. There are also some adult overtones that little kids won't pick up on but parents will find funny, and one line that some parents really did not appreciate very much but was quite funny to others, you will have to see the movie to find out what that is.
Paranorman is a fun movie for the whole family. It did have some scary moments that scared my 8 year old a little bit, but then they were followed by something funny so then he was fine. So it is not all laughs and giggles, but it is still a rather fun movie. You won't be bored watching Paranorman.
Great review without spoilers!
Well done thank you for sharing.
Hey great Job. I hope you don't mind I have a small suggestion. If you added maybe the movie trailer of the movie like on the top or bottom of the article or /and a picture or two it would dress up this article. It is real easy to do, just message me if you need help with it. Great piece though Thanks!
I don't think my other comment came through but I thought this was very clever.
I would like to watch the movie with the kids if it will shown in my hometown.
Great review:)
I have been following yours writings , all have been wonderful literary

Comments, questions and tips
@anenglishrose No worries, I completely understand, my husband is celiac so not just wheat intolerant, but gluten free pasta is so common in every supermarket (and if you want even heathier versions, there are also brown rice or buckweath pasta)...also, the recipe is all about peas, which in springtime are at the best, so please do not omit them...finally Pecorino cheese is very important as gives the saltiness, if you do not have it, use parmesan and/or plenty of salt and black pepper to avoid a bland result! ham is the option, I think, but smoked salmon would be a nice alternative!
A strange recipe, had to leave out the pasta as I'm wheat intolerant to substituted a handful of nuts. I didnt have any peas in my freezer so had to make do with sweetcorn. My local waitrose was all out of Creme fraîche so I used up the semi skimmed milk. The combination of nuts milk and sweetcorn just didnt work for me I couldn't bring myself to add Mint. I won't be trying this recipe again!

Volcano Update from Archive
This report on the status of Kilauea volcanic activity, in addition to maps, photos, and Webcam images (available at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/activity/kilaueastatus.php), was prepared by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). All times are Hawai`i Standard Time.
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Activity Summary: Eruption at two locations continued with no significant changes. Summit instruments recorded minor fluctuations, and the possible start of another DI tilt event, and the lava lake level varied and started to drop early this morning. At the middle east rift zone, the Kahauale`a 2 lava flow was active as small scattered breakouts burning forest northeast of Pu`u `O`o; small flows were active on the upper southeast flank of Pu`u `O`o cone. Gas emissions remained elevated.
Recent Observations at Kilauea summit: Summit tiltmeters recorded minor fluctuations and a possible start of DI deflationary tilt at 4 am this morning. The lava lake level also varied slightly and was a measured 50 m (164 ft) below the floor of Halema`uma`u Crater this morning before dropping farther with deflationary tilt. Gas emissions continued to be elevated: the most recent sulfur dioxide emission rate measurement was 700 t/d on October 28, 2013 - the higher value represents a period in which spattering activity and gas release from the lava lake were active; however, these values are minimums because the data were acquired close to the vent where the plume is most dense and challenging to fully characterize. A very small amount of ash-sized tephra (mostly fresh spatter bits and Pele's hair from the spattering sinks) was carried out of the vent with the gas and deposited onto nearby surfaces.
Seismic tremor fluctuated with no dropouts after 3 pm yesterday. Twenty-one earthquakes were strong enough to be located beneath Kilauea Volcano in the past 24 hours: 8 beneath the summit area, 4 beneath the upper east rift zone area, 1 within the middle east rift zone, and 8 scattered on south flank faults (including 3 very deep quakes beneath Nali`ikakani Point). GPS receivers spanning the summit caldera recorded line length changes that mimicked the short-term trends in tilt (DI tilt events) over the past two weeks; the long-term, cross-caldera measurements indicate continued extension at a rate averaging 10 cm/yr (4 in/yr) since March, 2010.
Background: The summit lava lake is within a nearly-cylindrical vent cavity with a diameter of ~160 m (520 ft) and nearly vertical sides inset within the east wall and floor of Halema`uma`u Crater. Its level has varied from about 25 m to more than 200 m (out of sight) below the floor of Halema`uma`u Crater. The vent has been mostly active since opening with a small explosive event on March 19, 2008. The surface level of the lava lake has remained mostly below the inner ledge (~31 m or 100 ft below the floor of Halema`uma`u Crater on October 29, 2012) and has risen above and flooded the ledge in October 2012 and January 2013 before receding to greater depths. The lake level responds to summit tilt changes with the lake generally receding during deflation and rising during inflation.
Recent Observations at the middle east rift zone vents: The tiltmeter at Pu`u `O`o cone recorded about 0.5 microradians of deflation. The most recent (preliminary) sulfur dioxide emission rate measurement was 300 tonnes/day on October 29, 2013, from all east rift zone sources; these values have ranged between 150 and 450 t/d in 2013 and are made at a greater distance from the sources where the plume is more easily characterized. GPS receivers on the north rim and south flank of Pu`u `O`o cone recorded minor fluctuations over weak extension (about 1 cm over the past two months). The Pu`u `O`o vent fed only the Kahauale`a 2 flow to the north; after being active for more than two years and producing some memorable ocean entries, the Peace Day flow, to the southeast of Pu`u `O`o, was declared dead by HVO geologists on 11/07.
Spatter cones on the north and south portion of the Pu`u `O`o crater floor displayed persistent glow while the northeast spatter cone continued to feed the Kahauale`a 2 lava flow extending 6.4 km (4 mi) to the north (mapped on 11/07); PEcam showed continued lava flow activity high on the southeast flank of Pu`u `O`o cone that could possibly be overflows from the south sides of the northeast spatter cones that are out of view of the PTcam or POcam. PNcam, ETcam, and R3cam (working intermittently) views showed continued lava activity as small scattered breakouts near the tip of the northeastern-most branch of the Kahauale`a 2 flow (see map), and several spots of burning forest.
Background: The eruption in Kilauea's middle east rift zone started with a fissure eruption on January 3, 1983, and continued with few interruptions at Pu`u `O`o Cone, or temporarily from vents within a few kilometers to the east or west. A fissure eruption on the upper east flank of Pu`u `O`o Cone on Sept. 21, 2011, drained the lava lakes and fed a lava flow (Peace Day flow) that advanced southeast through the abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision to the ocean within Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park in early December 2011. The flows stalled and re-entered the ocean starting on November 24, 2012 until activity started to decline and the ocean entry ceased in August 20, 2013; the flow was dead by early November, 2013. The Kahauale`a flow, which started from the spatter cone/lava lake at the northeast edge of the Pu`u `O`o crater floor in mid-January, 2013, was dead by late April, but a new flow (informally called Kahauale`a 2) became active in the same general area in early May. In general, activity waxes with inflation and wanes with deflation.
Hazard Summary: East rift vents and flow field - near-vent areas could erupt or collapse without warning with spatter and/or ash being wafted within the gas plume; potentially-lethal concentrations of sulfur dioxide gas may be present within 1 km downwind of vent areas. All recently active lava flows are within Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park, adjacent State land managed by the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and private property; the lava flows do not pose a hazard to any structures not already within the County-declared mandatory evacuation zone. Lava deltas, which can collapse into the ocean without warning, are extremely hazardous and should be avoided. Kilauea Crater - ash and Pele's hair can be carried several kilometers downwind; potentially-lethal concentrations of sulfur dioxide can be present within 1 km downwind.
Viewing Summary: East rift zone flow field - Most of the flow field is within the closed-access Kahauale'a Natural Area Reserve (NAR), the Wao Kele o Puna Forest Reserve (DLNR, OHA), and the abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision and can only be viewed from the air. Under favorable weather conditions, active flows-when present-can be seen from the County Viewing Area at Kalapana (Lava hotline 961-8093) and from the end of the Chain of Craters Road within Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park. Pu`u `O`o Cone and Kilauea Crater - these areas are within Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park; Park access and viewing information can be found at http://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/lava2.htm.

Definitions of Terms Used:
DI tilt event: DI is an abbreviation for 'deflation-inflation' and describes a geophysical event of uncertain volcanic significance. DI events are recorded by tiltmeters at Kilauea summit as an abrupt deflation of up to a few microradians in magnitude lasting several hours (weak DI events) to 2-3 days (strong DI events) followed by an abrupt inflation of approximately equal magnitude. The tilt events are usually accompanied by an increase in summit tremor during the deflation phase. A careful analysis of these events suggests that they may be related to changes in magma supply to a storage reservoir at less than 1 km depth, just east of Halema`uma`u crater. Usually, though not always, these changes propagate through the magma conduit from the summit to the east rift eruption site, as many of the DI events at Kilauea summit are also recorded at a tiltmeter at Pu`u `O`o delayed by several hours. DI events often correlate with lava pulses and/or pauses in the eruption at the Pu`u `O`o/Peace Day vents.
rise/fall events: one of the episodic behaviors exhibited by the summit lava lake starting in 2009. An event starts with a rise in lava level, a decrease in high-frequency summit tremor amplitude, a decrease or total stoppage of spattering, and a small decrease in tilt. After a period of minutes to hours, the lava will abruptly drain back to its previous level amidst resumed vigorous spattering, seismic tremor amplitude will increase for a short time (a seismic tremor burst) before resuming background levels, and summit tilt will return to its previous level. Gas emissions decrease significantly during the high lava stand (the plume gets wispy), and resume during its draining phase. Taken together, the geophysical characteristics suggest that, during the high lava stand, lava is puffed up with gas trapped under the lava lake crust.
seismic tremor dropout: these behaviors are identical to rise/fall events except that the lava lake level doesn't rise or fall significantly. High-frequency seismic tremor, gas emissions, and spattering decrease abruptly during a dropout. A dropout can end with a burst of seismic tremor and a significant pulse of gas emissions.
mauka, makai: Hawaiian terms for directions relative to the coast - makai or ma kai (toward the coast) and mauka or ma uka (toward the highlands or away from the coast).
pali: Hawaiian term for cliff or precipice.
composite seismic events: is a seismic signal with multiple distinct phases that has been recorded frequently at HVO from the Halema`uma`u Overlook vent area since its explosive opening in March, 2008. For the composite events recorded at Halema`uma`u, we typically see an initial high frequency vibration lasting for a few seconds that have been correlated with rockfalls. This is followed by about 30 seconds of a long-period (LP) oscillation with an approximately 2- to 3-second period. The final phase of the signal is several minutes of a very-long-period (VLP) oscillation with an approximately 25- to 30-second period. The LP signals are interpreted to be from the uppermost portion of the conduit and VLP signals are interpreted to be fluid passing through a deep constriction in the conduit through which lava rises to the pond surface we see in the webcam.
Halema`uma`u Overlook vent: has been difficult to describe concisely. The vent is actually a pit, or crater, in the floor of the larger Halema`uma`u Crater which is, in turn, in the floor of the larger Kilauea caldera or crater - a crater within a crater within a crater. It is easiest to describe as a pit inset within the floor of a crater within a caldera. The pit is about 160 m (525 ft) in diameter at the Halema`uma`u Crater floor, is about 50 m in diameter at a depth of 200 m (660 ft) below the Halema`uma`u Crater floor. From November, 2009, to now, a lava pond surface has been visible in this pit.
glow: light from an unseen source; indirect light.
incandescence: the production of visible light from a hot surface. The term also refers to the light emitted from a hot surface. The color of the light is related to surface temperature. Some surfaces can display dull red incandescence at temperatures as low as 430 degrees Centigrade (806 degrees Fahrenheit). By contrast, molten lava displays bright orange to orange-yellow light from surfaces that are hotter than 900 degrees C (1,650 degrees F).
CD: Hawai`i County Civil Defense
tonne: metric unit equal to 1,000 kilograms, 2,204.6 lbs, or 0.984 English tons.
tephra: all material deposited by fallout from an eruption-related plume, regardless of size.
ash: tephra less than 2 mm (5/64 inches) in size.
microradian: a measure of angle equivalent to 0.000057 degrees.

|Season 4, Episode 76b
|Air date: October 16, 1999

Don Del Grande's
Synchronized Swimming is an episode in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.
Coach Wittenberg talks the boys into forming a synchronized swimming team, though they think it's for girls.
- This episode proves an earlier statement in The Aptitude Test, that Stinky can float.
- Coach Wittenberg references Coach Wittenberg (episode), when he says that he might as well go back to his job in the bowling alley.
- The first scene of this episode uses the same music as the first scene in the episode "Downtown as Fruits". And the scene of Arnold and Gerald jumping into the pool is taken from the episode "6th Grade Girls".
- The line, "Wayne! Wayne! Come back Wayne!" is a homage to the final line of the 1953 western film Shane. Where Wayne is the name of the horse in the film Coach Wittenberg sees, Shane is the name of the cowboy in the aforementioned 1953 film.
- The FOX animated sitcom Bob's Burgers got the same title from this episode.
- The Judges were Rex Smythe-Higgins, Mayor Dixie, and Peter.
- When Coach Wittenberg is talking to the children about the movie that made he and his brother cry, you can see Harold holding his stuffed alligator Wally, first shown in the episode Ransom.
- Sid was not shown taking off his jacket.
- Gerald and Stinky's boots turned black when they took their jackets off.
- Lila's dress is usually green, but watching the boys swim it's blue.
- The judges were not there the second time they showed Eugene and Harold sunk.
- This episode was before "Buses, Bikes, And Subways", so Harold shouldn't have been able to swim.

Golden Globes: Who Got Snubbed?
No nom for Melissa McCarthy!
The "Bridesmaids" breakout actress was one of the stars snubbed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on Thursday morning, when the organization handed out Golden Globes nominations. (Her costar, Kristin Wiig, scored a nod for Best Actress, Comedy or Musical.)
PHOTOS: Melissa and other breakout stars of 2011
Other contenders left out of the mix? "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," Sandra Bullock's first film since winning the Oscar for "The Blind Side" -- and an extended break as she adopted a baby boy and divorced Jesse James -- was also left out of the Best Picture drama category. Bullock and her costar Tom Hanks were similarly shut out in their respective acting categories.
A couple surprises?
PHOTOS: Sandra Bullock's time off
Ryan Gosling got not one but two Best Actor nominations, a huge feat. He's up for a Globe in the drama category for his role in "The Ides of March" and again for his supporting part in "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Leonardo DiCaprio got a Best Actor nod for "J. Edgar" – which drew lukewarm reviews from critics – but his costar Armie Hammer was left out for Best Supporting Actor.
Relative newcomer Rooney Mara earned a Best Actress nomination for much-buzzed-about "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which opens December 21. She'll compete against vets Meryl Streep ("The Iron Lady") and Viola Davis ("The Help") in that category.
Angelina Jolie was not nominated for directing "In the Land of Blood and Honey" -- she was always a longshot -- but the Serbian-language drama (her first as a director and screenwriter) was included in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

Jonah Hill scored a supporting actor nod for his role in "Moneyball," beating out veteran actors like Nick Nolte ("Warrior") and Max Von Sydow ("Extremely Loud and Incrediby Close"). And Madonna got a nomination, not for directing her upcoming, widely panned period piece "W.E." but for a song in it: "Masterpiece."

December 1, 2015
Researchers say that President Barack Obama's order to encourage use of federal money to study gun violence may help lead to more knowledge about how to prevent firearm injuries and deaths.
About 30,000 Americans die from gun violence each year, nearly the same number as from car crashes. Much more is known about victims and vehicles in crashes than victims of gun deaths.
One reason is that rules passed in 1996 at the urging of the National Rifle Association barred use of federal money for research that might promote gun control. On Wednesday Obama urged the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to resume gun violence studies.
Some scientists hope this will help answer basic questions such as how many people own firearms in various cities.

Hello! I'm a new runner. I' m 35 years and my weight is 70 kg. I started to run 4 months ago, before this I played soccer and tennis rarely about 1 or 2 times per week. Now I'm enjoining to run very much, I run always three times per week regularly after work for about 45/60 minutes each time. during the running I reach usually 170/180 hearthbeats even if my pace is not high (about 6'15'' per km). How can I reduce my beats during the training? could you give me some suggestions to improve, please? Thanks a lot
Since you are new at running, most beginners tend to have some what higher Heart rates.. it takes some time to condition your Heart and body to adjust with the new running sport. .Need a little more info: My guess is it might be because your are running too fast during your run's? Are you running non stop or taking walk breaks?
Doing 3 x a week is fine, but you need to control your pace during those runs do you wear a HRM? Not every one will use a HRM but it's a good tool to use to determine your pulse rate during various running paces, and if you note how you feel these would be your HR zones...
Generally people go by the 220 - 35 your age to get your Max I got about 185 but depending your current physical fitness that # can be either higher or lower...But for now let's set your Max at 185... Now determine how you feel ? Are you out of breath, gasping for air, do you tire quickly ? if so this would be your at your max HR and you should back the numbers down...by slowing your running pace... Next How do you feel at a zone of 160 to 170 bpm's? if that zone feels better or good then note that... back it down to 140 to 150 and again at 120 to 130... or 115 to 130 which may be your walking HR?
Remember that it can take alot of practice to hold and keep your Heart Rate in a specific zone and still feel like your able to run... you may have to take a lot of walk breaks intervals at first to recover the HR before you feel like you can run longer and longer. But you will get there... This is how I had to do it when I first started running... but eventually your body will adapt, your heart will get stronger to go longer in the zones.
alot of beginners tend to start out running Hell bent for leather not giving their heart or body time to adjust, they just want to run... sure there are a few people out there can do that with out any health problems of keeling over passing out, body injury problems? Let's keep you Injury free and patient and be able to run healthy and long for many years!
First of all; forget about the number of your heart rate unless you know for a fact what your maximum heart rate is. It simply doesn't matter. Instead you should worry about effort.So the question is do you feel that it's too much effort when you train? If you don't, then you don't have a problem regardless of what your HR is. If you do, then slow down. Either way for any given pace and distance your level of effort and heart rate will go down as you get more fit, you just have to give it some time.Now, if you are going to worry about the HR then you need to figure out what the maximum is. The "formula" seems wildly off in most cases I read about so don't bother with it. Instead test yourself to figure it out, and then take it from there.
Can you speak in full sentences during your run? Max HR calculations based on formulas are very inaccurate;
From the linked article:
Using this method will take longer and it will still be an estimate. There's no way of getting around that. However, after a few sessions, you should be able to make your HRmax, and thus your calorie estimates MORE accurate.
Thanks guys for your replies.
When I first started I run and walked in alternate way until to run consecutively for 1 hour, then for 3/4 weeks I always run 1 hour each time. During the last training I had high beats just like I run 1 hour the first time. After the running I feel very well, so I agree with mattiasnyc when said "you should worry about effort". Also I think that my body will adapt, my hearth will work more close to the target zones.
Last time e.g. I reached more than 90% of the maximum effort (182 beats I remember), but during the training I talked with my friend with no problem. So the formula 220-age is only a good indication.
What is your max bpm during running?
I really insist that you check out your maximum practically (unless you already did so). Forget about the formula. I should peak at 177 according to it, but I regularly hit 204 a few years ago when I raced and measured regularly. So that's off by quite a bit. You can search the forum on how to reach a maximum if you want.
If you can talk casually with your friend I doubt you're at 90% to be honest. I think that should feel more taxing than that.

A South Jersey doctor who killed a one-time colleague and then himself in an ambush in Voorhees on Wednesday is now also believed to have murdered his girlfriend just days before in North Carolina.
Authorities said 35-year-old Shawna Givens was found shot to death in her Fayatteville, N.C. home shortly after noon on Wednesday.
By then, 39-year-old Giocando "Joe" Navek was dead as well - having turned a .357 handgun on himself shortly after shooting and killing Payman Houshmandpour as he backed out of his parking spot at his Voorhees apartment complex.
Houshmandpour, a 32-year-old father of one, was leaving for his job at a nearby medical office on Evesham Road. He and Navek had previously worked together more than year ago at Virtua Health System.
Houshmandpour was gunned down around 7:30 a.m. on Avalon Court. Investigators believe Navek blamed him for the loss of his job at Virtua.
In reconstructing Navek's whereabouts in the days prior to Wednesday's violence, investigators have learned Navek traveled back and forth from North Carolina to the Philadelphia area over the Easter weekend, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
Navek was an Army physician at Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, according to Shannon Lynch, a spokesperson for the medical center. He worked in the acute minor illness clinic, akin to an urgent care center after hours.
Givens was a medical support assistant at Womack.
A law enforcement source also told the Courier-Post that Navek, a captain in the U.S. Army Reserves, was to report to Fort Bragg in North Carolina on April 7 for a 179-day deployment as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. However, a spokesperson at Fort Bragg on Thursday could not confirm the report.
Authorities said Navek instead brought Givens to a family member's Philadelphia house for the Easter holiday on Sunday. Navek, who still owned a sprawling two-story home on Mulberry Lane in the Williamstown section of Monroe, had been living part time in Fayatteville for his medical center job.
In his time with family over the weekend, Navek introduced Givens as his girlfriend, authorities said.
Neighbors also reported seeing Navek, who they knew as Joe, with a blonde female around the Williamstown house shortly before the weekend and then again on Sunday.
"He acted normal," neighbor Atesia Barnahill said Thursday. "He asked how everybody was doing at the house. Just normal.
"Normal Joe."
Barnahill said the past week was the first time seeing the woman, who called Navek "babe" and "sweetie" around the neatly manicured home.
Barnahill said Navek had earlier told her family he was reenlisting in the military. In recent months, she said he was seldom seen at the house.
While Barnahill and her mother Melissa Knight said they knew Navek only as a friendly neighbor who was quick to lend a hand with cutting grass and clearing snow after Knight's husband passed away in May, trouble apparently lay beneath the surface.
Barnahill and other neighbors said they were surprised when about three weeks ago Navek's fiancée, who also works for Virtua, suddenly moved out of the home with the couple's toddler son.
And information released by the prosecutor's office on Thursday indicates there may also have been earlier signs of violence.
According to the prosecutor's office, a police report filed March 22 alleged Navek fired two gunshots into the basement wall of his Williamstown home and threatened his then fiancée, who was living at the house with their child.
The woman told police the incident happened in February but that she did not report it until after Navek left for the job at the military treatment center in Fayetteville.
The woman did not request a restraining order and no charges were filed, authorities said. A law enforcement source on Thursday told the Courier-Post that Navek is also believed to have been involved in a relationship with Givens since the winter.
Farogh Mozaffari, the fiancee's mother, said her daughter broke up with Navek a couple of weeks ago after having discovered he had another girlfriend in North Carolina. They had been together about five years.
Sometime after Navek was seen mowing the small yard at his Monroe home on Sunday, he and Givens returned to North Carolina.
Investigators said it's unclear exactly when Navek made the approximate 450-mile, eight-hour trip back to the Philadelphia/South-Jersey area. However, family members told police Navek returned to Philadelphia around 8 p.m. on Tuesday, where he left his Mercedes after claiming it was having problems.
Authorities said Navek then borrowed a silver Nissan from a family member. Sometime after leaving Philadelphia, Navek drove into the quiet complex at The Club at Main Street apartments where Houshmandpour lived with his wife and child.
It was there investigators say Navek waited for Houshmandpour to slip behind the wheel of his silver Audi before approaching the car and opening fire.
Navek was stopped a short distance away on Centennial Boulevard. As officers ordered him to exit the car, he shot and killed himself.
Around 12:30 that same afternoon, authorities in North Carolina went to Givens' apartment to perform a well-being check after she failed to report to work at a hospital. Givens was found dead from a gunshot wound, according to a spokesperson for the Cumberland County, N.C. Sheriff's Office.
Officials with the prosecutor's office said investigators here and in North Carolina will now conduct ballistics tests to see if the Sig Sauer .357 magnum handgun recovered from the Nissan after Wednesday's shooting in Voorhees was used to kill both Houshmandpour and Givens.
Investigators here are also sharing information concerning "physical evidence" found in Navek's Mercedes with detectives investigating Givens' death, authorities said.

This is a classic case of testosterone poisoning.

Rubber Track purchase day
Everything was going well yesterday afternoon...............until one of the tracks on my KX 91-3 failed............after only 500 hours !! Yep, I do a fair share of work in poor soil conditions and the tracks have the normal cuts from rock.
Never did I expect the cable banding to fail and the ejection of a drive cleat to follow. Last f**king time I buy a set of tracks from an Ebay advertised rubber track supplier !! $1900.00 and they are going in the trash after I recieve my new set of Mclaren NexGeneration tracks (which will be here on the 25th)
All for just $ 2,900 +
Its been a very costly month, after replacing 6 worn fuel injectors which were causing a computer overide to "protection mode" and code in my 2001 FRR and replacement of two tie rod ends and drag link. (would not pass yearly safety inspection) Japan builds a great truck but ULSD Fuel and no grease fittings at those sealed steering components can really take its toll on a work'n guys wallet. !!
At least for me these things happen after I have returned from a great Carribean vacation
On the bright side..........truck runs great and I'll let you all know about my thoughts on the Mclaren tracks.
Guess I'll be keeping this machine for a bit longer..............

Wow that is strange you gone through a set if injectors are you sure you didn't get some water in the fuel. It might be time for a racor mounted on the frame.
Steering linkage is something a person has to deal with usually they have grease fittings. It is the king pins you have to worry about that is a expensive job that is when you bend over and spread
your cheeks
Never did like rubber tracks even on a mini steel tracks is better especially on a 4 ton and heavier mini.
Ebay is a bad place to buy rubber tracks, always stick to OEM, then if the tracks fail, the dealer can take the issue up with you.
The amount of energy necessary to refute bullsh*t is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it
