Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Pirates of The Caribbean.
AN: A short piece I started working on to help cure some writer's block and decided to at last publish it.
It is set in AWE, in that scene below deck which broke my heart because Will and Elizabeth didn't resolve anything and I wish they had.
I would be very happy to hear what you think.
She was afraid to even look at him, in case she didn't recognise him, in case he could read all the scheming and lies in her eyes.
He had always placed her high on a pedestal, and she had never felt so undeserving of him as she did now.
But she found that she couldn't look away as he approached her, his dark chocolate pools of unstoppable love probed deeply for her reciprocation.
She offered it willingly, allowing the façade of strength and courage to slip away, feeling a sudden weight lifted from her shoulders as the vulnerability overcame her.
Will was there.
He would look after her.
His name escaped her lips in a breathy whisper.
The silence was deafening; just the creaking of the ship's timber and her catching breath in the air.
"I love you", she said suddenly, unable to hold it in any longer, and at the exact same time he rushed out "I'm sorry".
He turned to fully face her, and they weren't touching, but electricity was jumping between them, and its potency increased tenfold on their words.
"Will…" It was a half- sob, and he closed the centimetres between them in a rush, his solid form encasing her between him and the wooden pillar behind her.
Every part of him that touched her sent tendrils of liquid heat through her, and the peace of relief enveloped her aching heart.
She could feel his salty breath, thick with a hint of rum, on her face.
"You shouldn't be sorry", she told him, unable to keep the wavering out of her voice. "I should be the one begging for forgiveness from you… I can barely forgive myself for allowing you to lose trust in me- for giving you reason to lose trust in me…"
"Either we should both be sorry or neither of us be sorry", he said in a low voice.
It was cold beneath the deck, but the proximity of the only man she would ever love was seeping a warmth through her body that simultaneously increased her heart rate in a fluttering way that only he could.
"I hate being apart from you", Elizabeth began, his gaze drawing out the truths from inside her.
"Let's neither of us be sorry", he decided, nestling against her body, which was now desperate for him to touch her, almost whining as he brought his hands up above her head to brace himself.
"I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you", she said softly, and her hands had moved to play at his open necked shirt without her even realising she had moved them.
If he tilted his head, their lips would touch.
A thrill of heat shot through her.
"You don't need to", he assured her. "I forgive you".
"How can you forgive me so easily?" She wondered out loud. "I surely don't deserve it", her voice wavered.
A frown crossed his face, and rough fingertips brushed some loose tendrils of hair from her cheek.
She let out her breath in a sigh at the contact.
"Because I love you with all my heart and soul and everything in between Elizabeth", he said sincerely, gruffly, and she felt her eyes misting over, the emotions she had squashed down bubbling up to the surface.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't still be alive today…"
He cupped her cheek as her eyes widened in fear, and rubbed a calloused thumb over her cheekbone.
"And I will always love you... always. Even if you don't return my feelings".
"Will- there was never, is never, and never will be a moment in my life where I don't love you more than anything in the world", she returned firmly, a fat, wet tear rolling down the side of her face.
"There have been many things that I could have feared", she continued, and it felt like it was just them alone on this ship, but even more than that, when he looked into her eyes it was as though they were the only two people in existence.
"But I haven't feared them, because they are nothing compared to me fear of losing you… I can't live without you… I… I don't want to live without you".
The words of her undying love forever were taken up by his mouth ascending on hers, the force dissipating into a feather light kiss of pure adoring reverence.
When he pulled away slightly, as though to gauge her reaction, she pulled strongly at the front of his shirt, their lips meeting half way in a passionate collision of repressed need.
She eagerly excepted his hot tongue, groaning at the back of her throat as it met hers.
It had been far too long, and she was bombarded with desire for him as she made sure to thoroughly reacquaint herself with the pleasurable sensation of their mouths moulded together as they should be, and his unique taste that was everything she ever needed: freedom, passion and Will.
He rested his forehead against hers, his breathing as harsh and laboured as hers.
And that was where she belonged, not anywhere else on all of the 7 seas, but there, where her heart was, with Will.
He wrapped his arms around her and hers looped around his neck.
His warm solid body held her close and neither of them would ever let each other go.
Please review :)

So were you guys gratified, surprised, or not surprised at all when WALKING DEAD got picked up for a second season?
NORMAN REEDUS: I think we knew it was coming, yeah. I mean, we kind of kicked butt on Season One, and it was so fun and good and everyone was really into it, I think when Season Two was announced it was happening, I think we weren't overly shocked.
MELISSA SUZANNE McBRIDE: I was surprised. Well, not surprised like it wasn't going to happen. I was happy.
STEVEN YEUN: I was very happy.
McBRIDE: It was picked up quickly. Sixteen episodes [have already been picked up] for next season, Season Three.
REEDUS: Yeah. It feels like we're doing something right. I remember reading the pilot in the beginning and thinking it was really going to be like something I would watch.
Not asking if one is better than the other, but is there any contrast in show running styles between Frank Darabont and Glen Mazzara?
YEUN: You know, obviously, each one's going to have their own style. I would say we're lucky to have either one. We were very fortunate to have Frank, and it sucks what happened [in terms of his absence], but Glen really brought his own thing and he's fantastic.
REEDUS: It brought the cast and the crew and the writers and everybody closer together, because [in Darabont's firing] something bad happened, and we worked really hard to keep our good thing, and that's what we've done. And Glen's done a bang-up job. He's been awesome.
McBRIDE: Yeah. It was a show that Frank worked really hard to bring to television and it was a great project and a lot of us were very happy to be there and we had a job to do. And it's still a fantastic job, and I was happy to hear that Frank has just written a pilot [L.A. NOIR] that got green-lit for TNT. So that's exciting.

Nightstalker's Universe Mod has been in the works for 9 years, the mod itself has gone though many incarnations including being rewritten several times. The concept of NSU is to give SciFi junkies what they are looking for. There are several sections of the mod dedicated to different SciFi Shows such as, BSG, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly, and Star Wars. There are several sections of the mod that come from different ideas I have come up with and each system is uniquely different with custom suns, starspheres, and a few planets. The Mod has a lot to offer for a wide range of players. At the start you are given 5 choices though the use of one way jump holes (one in ST, SW, B5, Nightstalker Space, Terran Alliance Space). There are also 4 unique Factions in the mod, including Rogue Asteroids, Comets, Derelicts (Moving wrecks), and monsters (They hurt too). There is an update coming but I do not have a date as of yet for release.

A lot of potential here, on the NSU mod.
I would have given it a 10 if there was a open single player
But NS wants it only as Multi-Player, shame really.
But with that aside, this mod has everything for the Sci Fi Geek
in all of us..lol
Graphics on most of the ships are sharp and detailed, only a few
along with some stations that need a revamp.
Almost no trade lanes, but your cruise engine's are increased to
900 to cope with the large distance's, a 1000 cruise would be better as
that would be like warp speed.
There are loads of systems to explore, all have great music for you
to enjoy while traverling through the Galaxy.
If you want the best Sci Fi realated space sim mod based on Freelancer, then look no further, NightStalkers Universe is for YOU!!
What we need to do now is get this mod out there among the big wigs.
And if at all possible in the top 10 at least.
So Get voting ppl and Spread the word.

Excellent mod. Great community. Great content.

+10 for being a perfect mod
-2 for lack of singleplayer
Oct 25th, 2012 1 person agrees 0 people don't
In my opinion one of the best mods out there. It covers anything a SciFi fan could ask for. Great systems, great ships, great music and great people.
Yes, there are some imbalances and bugs, but that's the nature of the beast and will be resolved eventually.
I would love to be able to play this mod offline, i.e. when server is down or when it's just not possible to connect due to various reasons.
Open SP or even running it on Lan would be great.
I'm on this server for just over a year now, and have yet to get bored by it. Thumbs up to Nightstalker for a great mod.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. I've always wanted a game that accessed the multiverse on a massive scale and this game does exactly that. You start off small, with a modest ship/ And right there you can pick out one of three types be it a babylon 5 Thunderbolt, a battlestar Viper, or a generic fighter.And then the real fun begins by choosing a home port.
The multiverse is by far the best part of the game. Following also the large battles be it PvP or PvE. And let's not forget the beautiful scores from our favorite shows and movies.
Really the only major con would be the money system. For beginners that can be a tough curve, but as stated this isn't a game for the week of heart. Even so the pure epicness is outweighed.
There is one small issue found in the game currently which is more or so an odd game mechanic. Minefields do not damage you ships if they are capitals or large in general. Instead they have a tenancy to get stuck. Which can be a problem should you choose the eclipse class star destroyer, which its only shipyard is sorrounded by an asteroid field.
All in all the game mod is well created, well done, and over all just fun and highly replyable. Good work Nightstalker. Lord Karom gives this masterpiece a 10/10!

One of the best mods i've ever seen, in every games.
A really deep space to explore with most of the ships that all players dream to commmand. I really love to change the issue of a jedi/sith war by sneaking inside of the battle with my Normandy SR2, it permit great situations that all sci-fi fans dreamed for years !
I don't understand people who rate this mod with bad notes only because it's multiplayer only. If they can't try it, they can't rate it, so i would like to grow the rating because this mod deserve it !
And sorry for my poor english...

Citizens Holding Company Reports Earnings Business Wire PHILADELPHIA, Miss. -- October 23, 2012 Citizens Holding Company (NASDAQ:CIZN) announced today results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.629 million or $0.34 per share-basic and $0.33 per share-diluted, up from $1.623 million, or $0.33 per share-basic and diluted for the same quarter in 2011. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012, after the provision for loan losses for the quarter, was $6.416 million, approximately 3.9% higher than the same period in 2011, due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses offset partially by a decrease in net interest income. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $463 thousand compared to $1.660 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in the provision reflects management's estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact of current local and national economic conditions. The net interest margin decreased to 3.74% in the third quarter of 2012 from 4.31% in the same period in 2011 primarily because of the decrease in yields on earning assets was offset by the decline in rates paid on interest bearing deposits. Non-interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2012 by $608 thousand, or 24.8%, while non-interest expenses decreased $427 thousand, or 6.4%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in non-interest income was due primarily to a decrease in income from the gains on sales of investment securities. Non-interest expenses decreased primarily due to a $390 thousand decrease in other operating expense, a $104 thousand decrease in salaries and benefits and a $67 thousand increase in occupancy expense. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 7.1% to $5.044 million, or $1.04 per share-basic and diluted, from $5.432 million, or $1.12 per share-basic and diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, after the provision for loan losses, decreased 0.5% to $20.484 million from $20.586 million for the same period in 2011. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, decreased to 4.00% in 2012 from 4.28% in the same period in 2011. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.328 million compared to the provision of $2.586 million in 2011. The decrease in the provision reflects management's assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions. Non-interest income increased by $461 thousand, or 8.3%, and non-interest expense increased by $11 thousand, or 0.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the gain of sales of investment securities. Non-interest expense increased primarily due an increase in other operating expenses of $37 thousand and occupancy expenses in the amount of $88 thousand partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits in the amount of $114 thousand. Total assets as of September 30, 2012 decreased to $847.897 million, down $6.048 million, or 0.7%, when compared to December 31, 2011. Deposits increased by $44.684 million, or 7.8%, and loans, net of unearned income decreased by $11.062 million, or 2.8%, when compared to December 31, 2011. The decrease in loans, net of unearned, was due to declining loan demand and repayments of existing loans. Non-performing assets increased by $3.160 million to $19.597 million at September 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011, because of increases in non-accrual loans and other real estate owned partially offset by a decrease in loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company paid dividends totaling $0.66 per share. Citizens Holding Company (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company and the parent company of The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the "Bank"), both headquartered in Philadelphia, Mississippi.

Ron Cox tried his best to save his Evans home when it caught fire Friday morning.
"I went in and tried to fight it, but ...," Cox said after firefighters arrived and took over the battle. Cox said he was in his backyard workshop just after 8:30 a.m. when the power cut off. He called his wife, Judy, on the cellphone to see if she'd also lost power inside the house. She told her husband that she heard an "explosion," lost power and the house was filling up with smoke.
A local restaurant chain is expanding into Evans this winter.
Gary Gibson, owner of the local Gary's Hamburgers restaurant chain, recently announced that he's opening a fifth location in the former WifeSaver location at 116 N. Belair Road.
The building is being renovated and there will be more parking for customers.
Gibson opened the first Gary's Hamburgers restaurant in North Augusta in 1984.
The chain now boasts locations on Washington Road in Martinez, Wheeler Road in Augusta, Bettis Academy Road in Graniteville, and Lee Street in Johnston, S.C.
Linda Byrd was beautiful when she walked into the Fringe Hair Salon on Friday. She was beaming when she left.
It wasn't her new wig or makeup, or even the photoshoot, it was how they made her feel that made her glow.
" I have hair again," said Byrd, who is fighting ovarian cancer.
She was one of 12 ladies fighting cancer who came to the salon for a little pampering as part of Curls for a Cure. The event is put on by MSA Hospice, the Georgia Regents University Cancer Center and the salon in Evans.
Columbia County officials are going to change the look of rezoning signs.
"We are working on the sign issue," County Administrator Scott Johnson said at Tuesday committee meetings. "There's been some questions on the size of our rezoning signs."
The signs might not be as easily read as officials would like.
"At the last couple of Planning Commission and Board of Commission meetings, folks who have spoken during the public hearings mentioned the signs are tough to read," said Planning Director Andrew Strickland. "You have to pull off the road to read them."
The case against an Augusta woman charged with murder in the death of her toddler could go before a jury as early as February.
Marina Mae Middlebrooks, 30, was indicted on murder and cruelty to children charges in July.
The case could go to trial Feb. 9, said Hank Syms, the Assistant District Attorney.
Middlebrooks was arrested on May 2 in connection to the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Sky Allen.
Authorities said Mid-dlebrooks' car ran off Ray Owens Road in front of North Columbia Elementary School.
The mission of the season at Sanderlin Greenhouses in Appling is producing Christmas cheer in the form of the traditional holiday poinsettias.
They take growing the holiday staple plant so seriously that they start the plants from cutting in August and baby-sit the finicky plants until December.
"You do stuff to them all the time," said Judy Sanderlin, who started the business with her husband, Ed, in 1970. "You've got to watch them all the time."
As winter approaches, a local group is trying to ensure that troops deployed to Afghanistan stay warm and get a little taste of home.
Operation Handwarmer volunteers gathered at the Evans American Legion Tuesday for a packing party.
About 9,000 handwarmers and about 14,000 items such as candy, snacks and personal-care items were collected in the third annual operation, organized though the CSRA Home Connections and Century 21 Larry Miller realty.
"It just keeps growing," said coordinator Burt Sappenfield.
Grovetown officials and leaders of a city church are hoping to work out an amicable resolution after the church installed a sign that violated a city ordinance in August.
A sign was installed at Fellowship Baptist Church near Gordon Highway on Aug. 22, even though it didn't comply with city regulations and had been rejected by city officials.
The sign exceeds the 60-square-inch maximum sign face limit and the LED lights on the sign are prohibited in an ordinance passed in December 2012.

Teresa Piro, Founder, CAN CAN Cleanse: 5 Top Health Tips for 2013
Another topical interview for January! Need a seasonal cleanse, anyone?!
Teresa Piro is the Founder of CAN CAN Cleanse, a liquid cleanse business designed to help people jump start their paths to wellness.
Unlike many other cleanses, CAN CAN offers more than just a variety of juices. It is a cross-over cleanse that offers food in liquid form, such as soup and nut milk and has warming components to promote an approachable experience for its clients. Ingredients are sourced locally and seasonally and Teresa encourages her clients to cleanse four times per year.
Teresa's interest in nutrition started after her first visit to a nutritionist's office when she was 14 years old. Blood tests revealed that she had high cholesterol - like her mother and grandmother - despite being an active youth with a healthy body type. On the recommendation of the nutritionist, Teresa made immediate changes in her diet, including cutting out saturated fat and red meat. At the time, there were misconceptions about healthy eating and low-fat & non-fat foods were bombarding grocery shelves and being mass marketed to consumers. Teresa was unsuccessful at lowering her cholesterol levels through a low-fat diet.
It wasn't until Teresa attended Bauman College that she understood the importance of consuming whole foods, including healthy fats. She decided she wanted to educate others about the dangers of consuming processed, low-fat foods and how a whole foods diet rich in naturally occurring fats could help with weight loss and weight management.
She wanted to bring awareness to people that being healthy isn't about counting calories, but about understanding how foods fuel our bodies and promote health and wellness.
Passionate about helping others jump starting weight loss plans, Teresa started making cleanses out of her San Francisco apartment kitchen for friends and friends of friends. She furthered her knowledge of juicing through literature and books by long-time juicers and then set up lab-like experiments to test her recipes. After a while, it became her after-hours job.
As the word spread, she decided to leave her day job and follow her passion. She started working late nights and asked close friends for support. Not long after, she launched CAN CAN.
What started in her kitchen as a hobby is now headed into its third year of business.
We spoke to Teresa about the challenges of being an entrepreneur in the food space; her top 5 health 'to do's for our readers; and the Einstein motto she lives by.
ZH: What is it like being an entrepreneur in the food space?
TP: Revolutionary. There are so many good ideas out there and people are executing on them. It's wild. I had mung bean pasta last night – that's a new one to hit the shelves! I have appreciation for and applaud those who are making healthy transformations in the food industry – it can be challenging and costly.
Food businesses look to be a ton of fun on paper and to those who've never worked in a restaurant the thought of working in a kitchen is exhilarating, but it's a labor of love! Good food, especially in the health food and organic spaces, comes at a cost. Our margins are hard to manage and execution, quality control and distribution are difficult for a small business owner to operate seamlessly and successfully.
Thankfully, right now there is great emphasis and growing demand for healthy food. The public is starting to witness healing through whole foods and understand that preventative health starts with a clean diet and exercise. I'm proud to be a part of this revolution by introducing clients every week to the practice of seasonal cleansing.
ZH: What lessons have you learned from your successes/failures?
I live by, "Life is like a bicycle; to keep your balance you must keep on moving." – Albert Einstein. Success is about endurance.
Even if you hit a roadblock and fall off your bike, you can get back on and keep pedaling. Don't stop and magnify your failures.
ZH: What advice would you give to an entrepreneur starting in this space?
TP: Be creative, don't limit yourself or let limited finances stand in your way. Start small (in your own kitchen), utilize your resources (friends & family), enjoy your work and don't forget to sleep, eat, juice and breathe.
Go for it and be confident. You'll be richer with experience at the very least.
ZH: What changes will we see with CAN CAN Cleanse in the coming months?
TP: We're looking forward to offering our clients 5-Day Cleanse programs as well as a new Fitness cleanse designed for our active individuals. Additionally, I'm excited to do more educational talks and demos in our Bay Area communities. I can't wait to spread the good word about cleansing and the benefits of a whole foods diet.
ZH: Where do you see CAN CAN going in the next 5 years?
TP: I'm optimistic that we'll be able to bring our cleanse programs to people across the nation. I'd like to see more people commit to seasonal cleansing, which means making our cleanses available to those outside the Bay Area.
Heck, maybe in 5 years we can reach our international followers. We have had shipping requests from across the globe – London, Paris, Australia, India, Kuwait, Turkey.
ZH: What are your top 5 to-dos do you have for The NextWomen readers to kick off the new year?
- Replace one bad habit with a fresh juice, daily
- Photo journal your meals to keep you accountable
- Read labels - or better yet, buy more foods that don't come with labels
- Add fresh herbs to your diet (parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme, oregano, tarragon, sage)
- Drink more water

I was so lucky to be able to spend the Fourth of July at the Hotel Commonwealth in Kenmore Square Boston
The view of the fireworks from the hatch shell concert was incredible. The rooms are spacious and well appointed . Everything you could need is there down to a bathrobe and slippers, umbrella etc.
Every staff person I spoke with was more than pleasant. Also the two adjacent resaurants are wonderful with great food at reasonable prices. I do not think there is a nicer place to stay in this wonderful city. I would highly recommend this hotel any day to everyone
I love the Hotel Commonwealth and I love Boston

The blower receives power at all times from the indvert fuse in the LH underhood fuse block, and is grounded at G204. The heater/ac programmer provides speed request input to the blower motor, in response to bus messages from the climate panel. Does the fan speed respond to changes when the system is in key on operation, and then go to a default speed when the key is turned off? To isolate it you could disconnect the AC programmer blue connector C2, taking away the speed input to the blower. If the blower still operates at this point, it is internal logic that powers the blower, and I would suggest that it is faulty. The programmer is on the RH side of the instrument panel, and you may be able to get the connector with just removal of the lower insulator. In extreme case, it may require removal of the I/P compartment(glove box).

|Constrained density functional theory applied to electron tunnelling between defects in MgO.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23288356 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We employ a periodic plane-wave implementation of constrained density functional theory to describe electron tunnelling between oxygen vacancy defects in MgO. We find that calculated electron transfer parameters, and therefore electron tunnelling rates, depend sensitively on the fraction of Hartree-Fock exchange (HFX) used to approximate the exchange-correlation functional. In particular, we show that the exponential decay constant for electronic coupling (β) is proportional to the square-root of the band gap of MgO. Therefore, it is essential to use an exchange-correlation functional which predicts the correct band gap for accurate prediction of electron tunnelling rates. We also present a scheme for the correction of finite size effects for electronic coupling due to the interaction with periodic images, and discuss the sensitivity of the results with respect to the charge constraint used. The computationally demanding calculations presented in this work have only become feasible owing to recent advances in both computer hardware and code parallelisation and demonstrate that the first principles modelling of long-range electron transfer in wide-gap oxides is now possible.

Quote:That's why I said I agree with SOME of the 10 commandments.
Quote:Quite right. God is the ultimate authority for right and wrong. Otherwise, laws are simply arbitrary enforceable by those with the most power for their own personal desires.A good example is murder- why is it wrong? Either God says its wrong or it really doesn't matter who kills who and why. Example: If you were to say murder was wrong (and left God out of the picture), what ultimate authority could you point to say that I or anywone couldn't kill you simply because we felt like it?Ultimately then, moral absolutes descend from God or all you have is anarchy as your absolute.fvf
Quote:Quote:What about the morals of those who don't share your belief in "God" what do you think makes them not do those things?Because as created beings, they still reflect the eternal law of the Creator, which is why certain ethics such as "don't kill" and "don't steal" are generally held in common.Read the links that I provided in my previous post. That should answer most questions about where natural law theory comes from.
Quote:What about the morals of those who don't share your belief in "God" what do you think makes them not do those things?
Quote: I don't know if you left Catholics out for a reason too, only you would know that.

To the sound of Native drummers and cheering fans, John Baker and his team of record-setting huskies claimed victory in the 39th Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race this morning in Nome, ending Lance Mackey's string of four victories and securing the first win by a Northwestern Alaska musher in the 1,000-mile race across Alaska.
Baker crossed the line at 9:46 a.m., finishing the race that began March 6 in Willow in 8 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes, 39 seconds and slicing three hours off the previous record.
"I feel good. Real good," Baker said in the finish chute. "Running a team like this, there's nothing better. They are willing to climb any obstacle and make the most of it. I'm really proud of them."
Baker finished with 10 dogs, including one that got tangled just before the finish line.
Baker left his sled and walked to the front of his team, took the dog by its harness and led it under Nome's famed burled arch. Ahead of them, Baker's black lead dog Velvet wagged its tail.
"Good dogs! Good dogs!" someone in the crowd of Front Street spectators said.
"I think so," Baker said.
Sixty-four minutes later, Ramey Smyth of Willow arrived with a team of eight dogs for his best finish in 17 races. He also broke the previous race record.
Third-place finisher Hans Gatt finished at 3:24 p.m.
Baker, a 48-year-old from Kotzebue, pulled away from Smyth on this morning's 55-mile run from White Mountain to Safety. In doing so, he eliminated Smyth's chances of sprinting past him on the 22-mile stretch between Safety and Nome, which Smyth dominates with regularity.
Instead of the down-to-the-wire finish anticipated only a day earlier, Front Street belonged to Baker, and Baker alone.
"I didn't figure I had the race for sure. I didn't allow myself to think like that," Baker said. "I just needed to take care of my own business. Take care of running the dogs. Make sure that they could arrive here in the quickest possible way and being fair with them, not asking too much of them.
"If I can do that, then I didn't feel we would have any problems. And that's the way it worked out."
Baker took advantage of near-perfect weather and a team toughened by life above the Arctic Circle to erase Martin Buser's 2002 race record of 8 days, 22 hours, 46 minutes, 2 seconds. Buser's record came on the Iditarod's northern route, while Baker's came on the southern route, which typically produces slower times.
"I didn't have any thoughts about breaking the record," Baker said. "That dawned on me either last night or this morning.
"And when Martin initially set that record, I was third that year (and) a special friend of ours, Ramy Brooks, was second. So it was actually a special time. So breaking the record was definitely icing on the cake."
Smyth said he entered the Iditarod aiming to win. He just didn't know that posting the second-fastest time in history wouldn't be enough.
"It's a little hard not to win," he said. "But there's no person in this world that I'd rather be beaten by, if I came in second, then John."
As he talked, someone wished Smyth a happy birthday.
When was it?
"Today, I guess," Smyth said.
It's hard to think straight when you've slept roughly five hours in six days.
"About the least sleep I've gotten in any Iditarod," he said.
Mushers at the front of the pack endured strong winds at various parts of the trail but were aided by clear weather and temperatures that were mild but not so warm that they sapped energy from the dogs. Baker's dogs earned rave reviews at every checkpoint for their appetites and eagerness.
"At Iditarod I saw that John's dogs were barking to go and nobody else's were," Smyth said. "He's just done a 120-mile run. His dogs are barkin' to leave. He's trying to put his pants on and they're trying to pull the hook.
"They didn't even wait for him to tell them to go, they were just going to go to Nome without him."
Velvet and Snickers, a pair of hardy, black dogs, shared the lead for most of the race, just as they did last year when Baker finished fifth.
"They ran last year's race in lead all by themselves the whole way. And this year, I gave Velvet a break two times, for two runs. And other than that, they run the race in lead all by themselves," Baker said.
"They say around the kennel I am a pretty lazy musher," he added with a chuckle. "It's pretty easy to leave them in the lead year-round."
Running dogs born and trained on the coast, their fur thick and their durability unquestioned, Baker delivered on the promise he has shown since becoming a race regular in 1996.
In 14 previous races, he finished in the top 10 on 11 occasions and was 11th on another. Last year, Baker was in contention until he veered off the trail near Cripple, losing precious hours. This time, with GPS tracking devices allowed for the first time, the only thing Baker lost was his pursuers.
For a while, that group included Hans Gatt, Hugh Neff and Sebastian Schnuelle, all coming off a brutally tough Yukon Quest. But in the end, only Smyth hung with Baker, and even then, only a supreme effort from Smyth's dwindling dog team could catch Baker.
Smyth dropped one dog in White Mountain and another in Safety, leaving him with eight, yet he still managed to better Buser's old record.
In the last one-third of the race, Baker built a lead of an hour or two, small enough to keep things interesting but big enough that others were forced to cut their rest time if they wanted to stay within striking distance.
Sleep-deprived and rushing to keep up with Baker's endurance team, Smyth said he's proud he "gave everything I had," but figured he made tactical errors such as resting too little or too much at certain checkpoints.
Smyth's time of 8 days, 19 hours, 50 minutes, 59 is the second fastest in history and just the fourth that dipped under the nine-day mark. The only other sub-nine-day finish was registered last year by Mackey (8 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 9 seconds).
Smyth trailed Baker by 50 minutes out of White Mountain and was considered a threat to catch Baker because of his famous finishing kick -- in seven races, he has won the prize for the fastest time from Safety to Nome.
But by the end of the 55-mile run to Safety, the gap was 75 minutes. Baker covered the stretch in 6 hours, 43 minutes to Smyth's 7:14.
In winning, Baker proved that the Iditarod is not just a race for small and wiry mushers. Baker weighs in at 220 pounds -- that's two DeeDee Jonrowes and about one-and-a-half Lance Mackeys.
An Inupiaq, Baker is the fourth Native to win the Iditarod and the first since Jerry Riley in 1976. Three of the first four Iditarod winners were Natives -- Emmitt Peters won in 1975 and Carl Huntington in 1974.
For being the first musher to cross under Nome's famed burled arch that marks the finish line, Baker will collect a prize of $50,400, plus a new Dodge pickup. The prize money boosts his all-time Iditarod winnings to more than half a million dollars -- $507,722.
While this year's race produced a record time and mostly cooperative weather, it was not without its difficulties.
Paul Gebhardt, a prerace favorite from Kasilof, scratched early in the race in Nikolai, citing the best interest of his dogs. Mitch Seavey, the 2004 champion from Sterling, bowed out in Ophir after cutting several fingers while slicing open a bale of straw for his dogs.
And Mackey, winner of four in a row, slipped out of contention when kennel cough and other problems decimated his team. The Fairbanks musher left Elim in 16th place this morning -- about 120 miles from the finish -- with just seven dogs. Six are required at the finish line.
Gatt had left White Mountain this morning at 3:34, four hours ahead of Willow's Dallas Seavey.
Seavey, the winner of last month's Yukon Quest, left White Mountain at 7:25 a.m., an hour ahead of Tok's Hugh Neff (8:28 a.m.) and Whitehorse's Sebastian Schnuelle (8:34 a.m.). Unless Neff or Schnuelle have the speed to catch Seavey, they appear destined to duke it out for fifth place.
Baker becomes the 18th person to win the Iditarod championship. He drew crowds and cheers along the coast from fans excited at the prospect of victory for someone who is both Native Alaskan and a product of Alaska's west coast. At the finish line, he worked the snow fence lining Front Street like a politician, shaking hands, signing autographs, dispensing smiles.
"I can't wait to go home and be around all my friends and family up there in the northwestern part of the state," Baker said.
Kyle Hopkins reported from Nome and Beth Bragg from Anchorage.

Last year, Kim Wilcox and his wife, Tamara, were flipping TV channels when they stumbled on a movie with an attention-grabbing title: �Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.�
The 2010 documentary follows Australian entrepreneur Joe Cross as he reboots his health with a 60-day fruit and vegetable juice fast. After watching it, the Wilcoxes bought a juicer and stocked their fridge with produce. They started juicing for breakfast and lunch on weekdays but continued eating whatever they wanted for dinner and on weekends.
The Kansas City couple loved the energy boost they got from all that nutrient-dense juice, but they didn�t want their friends to think they were hard-core health nuts.
�We initially hid (the juicer) when our friends came over,� says Kim Wilcox, a communications instructor at Metropolitan Community College, �but after a few months, we came out of the closet and put the juicer on the kitchen counter.�
A few years back, juicing was associated with people on strict raw food diets. But recently, it has spilled into the mainstream, thanks in part to documentaries, kale-sipping celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Salma Hayek and an abundance of new books filled with recipes for delicious and nutritious juice blends that you can make at home.
If you're new to juicing at home, start with sweeter blends, says Lindsey Patterson, owner of Kansas City's Coffee Girls restaurant, which operates a food truck that sells green smoothies. Her favorite �gateway juice� is called Liquid Sunshine, which brightens carrot juice with orange, strawberry, apple and lime.
Just don�t overdo it on the fruit, warns registered dietitian Kodi Watson.
�You wouldn�t sit down and eat three oranges, four stalks of celery, an apple and three bananas,� Watson says. �When you juice all of that, you�re getting concentrated sugar and no fiber.�
Once you get a taste for fresh juice � which is often less sweet and more opaque than the stuff on grocery shelves � bump up the vegetable-to-fruit ratio by adding savory selections such as celery, kale, cucumber and spinach.
Watson suggests making green juice even more satisfying by blending it into a smoothie with ice, Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, flax or chia seeds. She says those ingredients add protein and healthy fats that make you feel fuller longer.
The dietitian doesn�t recommend long-term juice fasts because she says they lack calories, fiber, protein and healthy fats. The lesson: You don�t have to drink juice for 60 consecutive days to reap the health benefits of juicing, which, at its core, is just another way to replace processed meals with fresh vegetables and fruit.
Take it from Kim Wilcox, who says he and his wife now crave their spinach-loaded smoothies more than fast-food cheeseburgers: �We feel better when we eat better.�
Want more info on juicing? Check out the health or cookbook section of your local library or bookstore: Chances are, they�re overflowing with books on the juicing trend. Here are a few that debuted this year.
� �The Juice Generation: 100 Recipes for Fresh Juices and Superfood Smoothies,� by Eric Helms with Amely Greeven (Touchstone 2014)
This comprehensive book is loaded with beautiful photos of fruit and vegetables, in-depth nutrition info and tons of recipes that helped the Juice Generation solidify its reputation as one of the most successful juice bar chains in New York City.
� �The Reboot With Joe Juice Diet: Lose Weight, Get Healthy and Feel Amazing,� by Joe Cross (Greenleaf Book Group Press 2014)
In this book � which is part autobiography, part health book � the Australian entrepreneur behind the 2010 documentary �Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead� shares his story along with recipes, tips and insight into the emotional and physical side of adopting healthier habits.
� �Superfood Juices: 100 Delicious, Energizing & Nutrient-Dense Recipes,� by Julie Morris (Sterling 2014)
In this colorful and recipe-heavy book, natural food chef Julie Morris incorporates �superfood� ingredients such as spirulina powder, sea buckthorn berry juice and hemp seeds into juices, smoothies � even granita and ice cream.
� �Juice: Recipes for Juicing, Cleansing, and Living Well,� by Carly de Castro, Hedi Gores and Hayden Slater (Ten Speed Press 2014)
In this newly released book, the founders of Pressed Juicery in Los Angeles outline the health benefits of juicing and share tips that help anyone incorporate juicing into a healthy lifestyle. There are also 75 recipes inspired by Pressed Juicery�s best-selling drinks.
� �Best 100 Juices for Kids: Totally Yummy, Awesomely Healthy, & Naturally Sweetened Homemade Alternatives to Soda Pop, Sports Drinks & Expensive Bottled Juices,� by Jessica Fisher (Harvard Common Press 2014)
Kids and kale juice don�t always mix, so this book is a good pick for parents who want to ease their children into the idea of drinking something other than apple juice. With fun names like Minty Melons and I Yam What I Yam, these recipes make eating (and drinking) the rainbow fun for everyone.
With its sweet, earthy flavor and bright red color, this juice is a fun way to start the day.
Makes 1 serving
1 large raw red beet
2 Golden Delicious apples
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
Process all the ingredients in a juicer and drink immediately.

It might sound strange to juice a raw sweet potato, but when you mix the bright orange juice with fresh citrus, it�s a revelation.
Makes 2 servings
3 large carrots
2 medium orange sweet potatoes
1 medium navel orange
1 medium lime
1/4-1/2 inch slice fresh ginger
Trim the carrots. Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut the orange and lime in half.

The problem with Insurrection was that the story wasn't worth doing as a movie.
It was a big "WHO CARES"?
I don't understand why they just didn't dump it and start over with a new story.
Well the problem is the writer was Michael Pillar, who is a TV writer, not a movie writer, that is why the film seems more like an episode. The movie reflected ideas that Pillar was interested at the time.

Most studios won't restrict your choices, so you can have a go at something new every evening if the fancy takes you.
Dance classes take place in a variety of forms, from one-on-one tuition to private parties and group lessons (the most common). You'll probably need to dress in a particular way, for example by wearing the right shoes for tap or jazz, but other than that you won't need to bring any special equipment – a sense of rhythm and plenty of enthusiasm will do.

Although it is a fantastic way to keep fit, tone muscles and release endorphins, dancing can also be a difficult activity. Major studios such as Pineapple Dance offer therapies such as sports massage, osteopathy and acupuncture to alleviate any aches and pains and help dancers stay in good health.
Make sure you work out in advance what your chosen dance studio's policy is on booking. Whilst some studios expect you to book in advance or even sign up to a subscription, others will allow you to turn up to classes on a drop-in basis, meaning that there are no strings attached.

Combine the first 9 ingredients in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag, add the shrimp and marinate for one hour. Place the corn in a such oven, add the andouille Sausage, pour the shrimp mixture over the corn and sausage to cover it.
At campsite, Place sealed Dutch oven directly on hot coals, or in a BBQ with the coals piled all around the Dutch oven (or cook in a 450° oven if at home); cook 20 minutes. Serve over couscous.
I have a kid who hates seafood, so I used the same marinade recipe for 6 chicken thighs. I poured chicken and marinade from the bag into heavy-duty foil, sealed and placed directly on the coals next to Dutch oven, as seen in picture above.]]>
It was a very blustery day, as Winnie-the-Pooh put it. However, we decided to hike to Kentucky Falls on the North Fork Smith River. We loaded up 5 kids, a dog, and headed out. To get there, I decided to follow my phones navigation instead of my maps. During our journey there the navigation led us through the Coast Range on various logging roads. It finally led us down one that was so overgrown on the edges that it felt more like a 1/2 lane road, or a goat trail. I felt safe knowing I could get there on this path, but if there happened to be a locked gate…it was going to be a very, very long drive back in reverse. I couldn't help but think about that ordeal, years ago, where a family followed their Google Maps app from California and ended up perishing on some logging road here in Oregon.
We came upon a pretty steep clear-cut area and had to take a picture because of how steep it appeared. As we drove along this old back (logging) road, seemingly forever, the vegetation was so thick on the sides of the road that at times it was rubbing on the roof. It made me all the more astonished when we came upon a little clearing with a burned up car. What was this fella thinking. This really wasnt some road you take a car on.
The first waterfall didn't seem that far and it was nice, but we hiked on. All the while we were getting more and more wet. I chose not to bring rain gear because I wanted some idea of what the kids would be facing at any given moment. I stayed pretty dry and warm because of my wool sweater.
When we finally arrived at the lower waterfalls, it was well worth the hike, however, the little ones were totally soaked to the bone and cold. The first thing We noticed was the thundering from all the rain we were having. Next, I noticed that there were two falls cascading over a box canyon wall.
I instantly left everyone behind and went out off the deck towards the middle of the canyon. You had to jump from mossy boulder to boulder trying not to fall in the water. Once out there, amid all the noise, rushing water, waterfall spray, pouring rain and wind, I felt amazed and knew all my needs to get out into the outdoors had just been met. The chaos that was my calm. I was at peace inside once again.
I quickly made my way back to the viewing deck where my fiance had her arms around all the kids like a mother hen, trying to warm their soaked bodies. I gave her a kiss and we all headed back. I realized that I gained 20 pounds of water while I was out in the middle of that canyon. The hike back warmed us up…little. We got to the car after hiking back for 1.5 hours and drove the easier route home with the heat on high.
I am pretty sure we all had a wonderful adventure, and I thank my woman for knowing what I needed and helping me achieve it…as always. I love you!
Orange Pepper Sauce
Put the reserved marinade on med high heat and add the marmalade.
Whisk continually as you bring to simmer.
Use as dipping sauce or pour over finished shrimp.
Skewer pineapple and veggies and grill to compliment shrimp.
The sun came out today and it was glorious. Spring is in the air. I decided to sit outside today and make lunch with my Solo Stove Campfire.
I grabbed a shirt load of small pine cones, which are everywhere, and got the fire going. I then put 3 liters of water on to boil. I then waited.
The fluffy clouds were moving to and fro as I watch from the bench I am laying on in the yard. Every time the sun pokes it's head out, it feels warm all over.
As I lay here, I I hear the wind chime on the portch once in a while. I hear birds and a chipmunk. I hear the bells on my goats collars as they forage around the yard. Wait…what is that I hear??? It's the wild turkey's not far away. Reminds me of the little turkey poults and 8 chicks I'm raising in the barn.
Well, after 27 minutes, the water begun to boil and it's time to add noodles.
What a wonderful day, except, that it could be much better if my fiancé or children were here with me.
I didn't know what to make with the night getting late so I decided, as usual, to create something with what we had available in the kitchen. There was half can of coconut milk from a previous Satay dinner. There was also a 2″ chuck of ginger, which I love. I started cooking and saw the Herdez salsa verde and decided that anything with salsa tastes good. So I created a tasty Frankenstein of a meal with hints of ginger, coconut, and lemon, this is a tasty quick meal for the family.
Makes: 8 servings
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
1 large shallot, sliced fine
3 finger size fresh ginger, non-peeled, grated
1/2 can Coconut milk, sweet
1 tablespoon finely sliced Lemongrass or use freeze dried chopped in a jar (litehouse brand)
1/2 cup Salsa Verde (I used Herdez brand)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 dashes Asian fish sauce
8 chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless cut in 2″ pieces
Notes / Directions
-Sauté the shallots and ginger in 1 tbls olive oil in until translucent.
-Add chicken pieces and cook until no more pink is visible.
-Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook on medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until a thick sauce is made and sticking to the chicken pieces.
-serve on a bed of rice.

My girlfriend and I took a trip to Salt Creek Falls this weekend to see the second highest single drop waterfall in Oregon, which cascades 283 feet. Salt Creek Falls is one of Southern Oregon's most powerful falls, with an average yearly flow of 50,000 gallons per minute flowing over the rocks. The primary observation platform at the top of the waterfall is only 50 yards (45.720 m) from the parking lot. However, The entrance was snowed over and the gate closed. we parked at the gate and hiked on the snow about 5 minutes to the platform. The platform is wheelchair accessible with railings that accommodate wheelchair sight-lines. A loop gravel trail (Salt Creek Falls Trail #3673) with interpretive signage offers a short hike with multiple vantage points along the canyon rim.
A steep trail from the platform to the waterfall's base is short, but is not wheelchair accessible due to numerous stairs. The best viewpoint is said to be halfway down this path. I felt it was the very bottom of the falls being blasted by the wind and spray created by the falls. This required leaving the main trail and climbing down a steep section of hill while trying to keep from sliding on loose rock fragments all the way to the waters edge.
To get to Salt Creek Falls from Interstate I-5, take HWY 58 about 57 miles to Forest Service road #5893. Once you turn right onto aforementioned road, stay right and continue about 0.5 miles to the parking lot.]]>

Tips on Staining Wood
Follow this advice on how to properly stain wood furniture.
Related To:
A DIYer can save money by staining unfinished furniture. But staining is scary because it is permanent – and the DIYer does have to be careful. There are also a lot of products to use, including oil-based and water-based stains and wood conditioners, which can get confusing. Here are some ways to avoid common staining difficulties.
When working with stain, protect eyes and skin by wearing safety glasses and disposable rubber gloves. Remember, anything that can permanently stain wood will stain fingers, too. Also wear old clothes to work, since some stain could spill.
How to Stain Wood Furniture 00:57
Watch this demonstration on the best way to liven up wood furniture with stain.
- Always test stain on a piece of scrap wood before starting on the furniture.
- So that the stain doesn't leave blotches on the wood, always apply a thin coat of wood conditioner first, using an inexpensive brush. Give the conditioner about 15 minutes to dry before applying the stain – but don't sand it; there's no need.
- Oil-based stains, which are the most common, consist of dyes and pigments mixed in with mineral spirits. Make sure to stir the can thoroughly before staining to bring the dyes and pigments up off of the bottom, so as to get the full color from the stain. When working with oil-based stains, there will be fumes, so make sure to always work in a well-ventilated area.
- Apply stain with a brush or a rag, depending on preference. With a staining brush, work both with the grain and against it. Don't worry about being neat; all that matters is getting a nice, even, liberal coat over the wood. At this point, wipe the stain off immediately for a lighter tone, or for a deeper tone, leave it on for five or even 10 minutes before wiping.
- Be sure to wipe off all the excess stain going in the direction of the grain of the wood. That will guarantee that the stain gets into the wood, instead of laying on top – and it really shows off the grain of the wood to advantage.
- To avoid fumes, go with a water-based stain. One of the advantages to water-based stains is that they come in a wide variety of colors, even more colors than the oil-based. Apply the water-based stain in the same way as oil-based.
- If the stain needs to be darker, go back over and apply more stain.
- Stain only provides color, not a finish. Always apply a finish on top of stained wood. Or, if time is short, reach for a product that combines both stain and finish with one coat. The product will need to be brushed on more carefully, finishing by brushing with the grain of the wood. Use a higher-quality brush with this type of stain/finish.
- It is possible to mix stain to make a customized color, provided both stains are made by the same manufacturer and both are either water-based or oil-based. Do not mix oil and water. Measure the amounts of each stain used and write it down, so it can be duplicated if needed.
- A water-based finish can be put over an oil-based stain, but only after waiting a full 24 hours for all of the mineral spirits to evaporate from the oil-based stain. If it's rainy out, or cold, give it an additional 24 hours.
- Keep old cans of stain. Stains can be expensive, and the nice thing about them is that they don't tend to set up in the can like the finish will. If there is a skin coat on the top when the can is opened, toss it. But otherwise, it's still good to use.
