WASHINGTON – Most office chairs are made for someone who sits in front of a computer all day. But a new one promises comfort for 21st-century technology.
The Gesture chair, made by Steelcase, is designed to improve posture and be more comfortable when using a smartphone or tablet.
The designers say they did a global posture study to see how the human body shifts when using tablets, smartphones and computers.
In the video below, James Ludwig, Steelcase vice president of global design and engineering, talks about how new devices have led to nine new postures and new back problems:
The chair is expected to go on sale this fall. There is no word yet on how much it will cost.

Three to D.C. to push for Placer Parkway, Auburn State Recreation Area support
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
A trio of top Placer County officials is bound for Washington, D.C. for four days in February to lobby for federal support on a bevy of local projects. County Executive Officer Tom Miller will join Supervisors Jim Holmes and Robert Weygandt on the Feb. 14-17 trip. They'll meet with federal elected and appointed officials to discuss legislative and regulatory issues. The Capitol visit has become a yearly part of the board's duties, with from two to four supervisors joined by the CEO on recent trips. This year's estimated costs for each supervisor, including travel, lodging and incidental expenditures are about $1,200 to $1,500 – down from last year's $1,625, when Uhler also took part. Newly-installed as board chairman, Weygandt said he's observed in his 16 years as supervisor that the trip helps build relationships with decision-makers in Washington. "There's no question in my mind that it's an investment well-made," Weygandt said. Two years ago, supervisors became embroiled in controversy after the Journal revealed a $1,600 dinner attended by Miller, Chief Deputy CEO Rich Colwell and supervisors Jim Holmes, Rocky Rockholm and Robert Weygandt. The $1,600 dinner, including a $300 tip, was courtesy of Placer County taxpayers and took place during the February 2007 trip to Washington. It was described as an "appreciation" for then-U.S. Rep. John Doolittle. Allison Carlos, of the county executive office, said the schedule was still being set for this year's trip and no other staff members, including aides, were expected take part. Carlos said Wednesday she didn't know what dinner plans were being made this year for the trip. Carlos reported to supervisors Tuesday that Holland and Knight, the county's lobbying firm in Washington, continues to emphasize the importance of Placer leadership speaking directly with legislators and the staff of agencies, particularly as funding tightens. "To put a fine point on the benefit to the county of these trips, over the past 10 years, $105 million in funding has been secured for key regional projects," Carlos said. The county's list of programs funded includes more than $71 million for Interstate 80 "bottleneck" widening, $10 million for regional wastewater treatment plant work, $5 million in law-enforcement communications upgrades and $4 million for the Lincoln-Highway 65 bypass. Transportation needs are high on the county agenda, with the county seeking $25 million for the future Placer Parkway near Roseville, as well as ongoing funding for Interstate 80 improvements, county bridge replacement projects and Kings Beach commercial core revitalization. Supervisors will also be seeking meetings on supporting permanent federal funding for the management of the Auburn State Recreation Area. Holmes said Wednesday that the 31,000-acre recreation area is being threatened by funding shortages but he'd like to get help at the higher levels of government. "It's bigger than just the U.S. Department of the Interior," he said. Holmes said he and the others will be going to dinner but doesn't expect to sit down again to a meal paid for by the county similar to the 2007 spread. "We will have dinner but we pretty much low key it," he said. "But we will be going to dinner."

Governor Beverly Perdue says as of 11:30 a.m, 38 shelters remained housing more than 2,600 evacuees, down from a peak of more than 7,500 people in 81 shelters yesterday.
Several of those shelters are accommodating evacuees with pets and some shelters have been opened to help medically fragile people.
American Red Cross, North Carolina Baptist Men, Salvation Army and other volunteer groups have cooked more than 19,300 meals for evacuees and first responders.
mergency managers say Pitt County is hosting many of the evacuees from Hyde County and could start opening shelters.
In the meantime, local hotels will be the place to stay until the storm passes.
Currently there are 2,000 rooms in and around Pitt County. Debbie Vargas, the executive director of the Greenville-Pitt County Convention and Visitor's Bureau says with the summer winding down and the public schools back in session, there are a lot of empty hotel rooms ready for evacuees.
Vargas say you can call their toll free number at 1-800-537-5564 if you need assistance finding a room in the Pitt County area.
We're told by emergency services that Pitt County is a host county for Hyde and managers met Wednesday to talk about what type of aid they may need to provide.

M. C. of Otter Creek writes, "I went to my favorite local bar the other night to have a few beers and shoot some pool. This one guy who drank too much got a little mean after I beat him for the fifth time and I thought he was going to come after me with his cue stick. I've got a concealed weapon permit and I carry a gun wherever I go as a general rule, so I showed him my gun and warned him. Next thing I know, I get thrown out of the bar and the owner tells me I'm lucky he didn't call the police. Can he do that?
In the last Conservation Corner titled "A Sustainable Model", there was laid out a concept to compost the yard waste, dredge spoils and food waste. Upon further research, that concept is just not going to work for Cedar Key for two main reasons.
First, there is the problem of scale. Our island's dozen or so restaurants do not produce enough food waste to make the composting of that waste financially feasible. Also, the DEP regulations are intended for much larger operations then what the island's needs are.
J.M. of Morriston asks, "My husband, who is in his mid-fifties, had a serious medical incident occur several months ago which required me to call for emergency assistance. When the EMT's arrived, my husband was unconscious. The EMT's called for a helicopter but by the time the helicopter got there he had regained consciousness and was able to talk without difficulty. He didn't think he needed to go in the helicopter to the hospital but they insisted he should do so, especially since it was on its way. The flight to the hospital took less than an hour.
What exactly does sustainable mean? A definition of sustainable is: capable of being maintained at a steady level without exhausting natural resources or causing severe ecological damage. It encompasses the concept of stewardship and responsible management of resources.
Dear Cedar Key businesses,
When word got out that the Fourth of July festival had been cancelled this year, it started an onslaught of anger towards the town of Cedar Key and its businesses. Obviously, people in the surrounding communities do not care if the holiday is mid-week, like the city was worried about due to the comments being passed around on Facebook.
Who knew that something so simple as missing a major holiday could provoke comments like this:
Again this year there will not be a celebration at Cedar Key,what a disappointment for all the people who paid good money to come to your town and some of them came a long ways off and some out of state.
When booking a place to stay we are not informed when things are called off, yet these same people who use to put on the fireworks ect.. can take a trip to washington.
I would much rather have people leaving my town with a sweet memory instead of sour grapes and telling other people about their bad experience with Cedar Key's no show.
In the wooded farmlands west of Williston stands, neglected and forgotten, an abandoned country church. Like a monument to the county's rich historical past, this church is a silent sentinel and reminder of when our churches were the heart of community life.
In days gone by, the tiny church houses were the center of life and death, where revivals, baptisms, weddings, Sunday school classes and funerals were held. But all country churches had a common thread, a warm homey feeling about them.

In 2007, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the recovery of the Bald eagle and it's removal from the list of threatened and endangered species.
To track the progress of the bald eagle breeding population in the lower 48 states, the USFWS developed a post-delisting monitoring plan. Surveys will be conducted once every 5 years over a 20 year period.
In 2006, MDC participated in the pilot study to test the effectiveness of the post-delisting monitoring protocol. During this initial pilot study, 123 nesting pairs were observed. And in 2011, we coordinated statewide ground and aerial surveys of bald eagles in March and April.
MDC protects and manages Missouri's fish, forest, and wildlife resources. We also facilitate your participation in resource-management activities, and we provide opportunities for you to use, enjoy and learn about nature. Read more about our mission.

A deadly serious game of hide-and-seek is on. The CIA's brilliant young analyst, Jack Ryan, thinks he knows the reason for the sudden Red Fleet operation: the Soviets' most valuable ship, the Red October, is attempting to defect to the United States.
The new ballistic-missile submarine's defection is high treason on an unprecedented scale, and nearly the entire Soviet Atlantic Fleet has been ordered to find and destroy her at all costs. If the U.S. fleet can locate her first and get her safely to port, it will be the intelligence coup of all time.
The nerve-wracking hunt goes on for 18 days as the Red October tries to elude her hunters across 4,000 miles of ocean. The rousing climax is one of the most thrilling underwater scenes ever written.
Please note: The original source for this digital production was audiocassette tape, which is the best available source audio from the publisher. The audio quality reproduces the analog format.
Take another thrill ride with Jack Ryan.
©2004 Tom Clancy; (P)2004 Brilliance Audio
"Gripping narrative....Navy buffs and thriller adepts have been mesmerized." (Time)
"Audio quality quite poor"
This book had poor audio quality with the words clipping off. If it weren't for that, I think this is a 4 star book. It was good and kept me listening, but they sped up the voice or tried to eliminate space between his words and they clipped quite often. If that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, get it...otherwise go to Amazon and order the actual book and read it, you'll like it better.
"Great Book, good reader, terrible recording"
The recording seems like it was digitized from a cassette tape played of a machine that did not keep correct time. Much sounds clipped or slowed. It is a great book, and the reading is alright, but the sound quality is so bad that I want my money back. I have never had this sort of problem with Audible before.
"Very rough recording"
I love this story but this recording is quite a disappointment. I don't care for J. Charles narration, but I can live with that. It's the annoying skipping that makes the book almost impossible to listen to. At first I thought I had inadvertently changed my iPod playback to 'fast' but this was not the case. It's just a bad recording. I have downloaded a couple of dozen books from Audible and this is the first I have been so unhappy with, but if it had been my first attempt, I would not have made another.
"Audio screwed up!"
I don't really have a problem with the reader, but the audio of this format sounds like they ran it through some algorithm that deleted all pauses in the reader's speech, so there is basically no pauses for words, sentences, phrases or dramatic effect. The audio moves way too fast and a lot of the beginning and ending of words is cut short. It actually hurts to listen to the recording. I also believe I should get my money back. Audible needs to fix this and make sure no other audiobooks have the problem.
"Too fast, and..."
... this reader should NOT "do" voices! The accents are awful! And even at "Slower" on my iPod, he's still in too much of a hurry. The book is a favorite, but I wish I hadn't spent the money on this reading. I agree with the reviewer who's going to avoid other books performed by this reader.
"Why did they release this production?"
I love this book when narrated by Frank Muller, this book is awful, in fact, I cant find a word to encompass what a horrible job J. Charles did reading this. ITS ATROCIOUS!!!!! His accents are awful, almost every accent he does other than russian, which is awful too, comes across as deep south red-neck, including the british, and he often uses them interchangably, starts out southern and ends up british or vice-versa. I have never missed Frank Muller more. This rendition is so awful I will never listen to another book read by this person again. Accents aside, the pronunciations are also just plain terrible, in fact, saying they are terrible is like saying the ocean is a bit on the damp side, I could understand misspronouncing some of the russian, but most of the names, english, american and russian are botched, as well as common words in english. DID NO ONE LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE IT WAS PUBLISHED !?!?!?!? I cant believe anyone in literature, or Tom Clancy for that matter approved this reading. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL, I cant stress this enough, it is the worst thing I have ever heard, a little part of me died listening to what this guy did to this great book. Audible, I am ashamed of you for putting this out there, where is the Frank Muller version??????
"Horrible audio"
Audio sounds like a computerized voice. Some instances the dialog sounds like the characters are in a fish tank. Loved the book, but stay away from this one.
"Good Book - Bad Reader"
I am a great Clancy fan and Hunt is Clancy in the prime. Unfortunately, the reader mispronounces the occasional word and his accents are terrible. All those characters and only three of four accents and some of those incorrect for the character described by the author. The pacing is just a little off. The emphasise was wrong some times. The flaws were just enough to be grating and drop a 5 star listen down to 3.5. I will look for Mr. Charles as narrator and pass the book by, no matter how good a bargain.
"horrible audio"
The reader goes so fast I can barely understand him. It sounds like he is an auctioneer. Im going to try and get my money back. Very disappointed.
"Great book. Worst narrator imaginable"
Anyone. Anyone at all. Even Kevin Costner could have done better accents. This narrator has a great voice, but his accents are just awful. Sometimes his awful southern accent merges with his equally laughable British accent. The result is unholy. Please, please, please Audible, re-record.
Great book, but the delivery was just overpowering. Like Listening to Roseanne Barr's national anthem.

Contraceptive Sponge for Birth Control
Topic Overview
The vaginal contraceptive sponge is a barrier method of birth control. It contains a spermicide called nonoxynol-9 that is released over the 24 hours that the sponge may be left in the vagina. The sponge also blocks the cervix so sperm can't pass. It can be inserted immediately before intercourse or up to 24 hours before. It is left in place for 6 hours after intercourse.
Effectiveness in preventing pregnancy
The sponge is less effective for women who have delivered vaginally than it is for women who have not.
- Sponge failure rates for women who have never delivered vaginally range from 9% to 16%. In other words, for this group of women, from 9 to 16 out of 100 will become pregnant in the first year of using a sponge.1
- Sponge failure rates for women who have given birth by vaginal delivery range from 20% to 32%. For this group of women, from 20 to 32 out of 100 will become pregnant in the first year of using a sponge.1
The difference in sponge failure rates for women who have given birth to children vaginally and those who have not may be due to changes in the cervix after vaginal delivery.
Effectiveness in preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
The sponge does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including infection with HIV. Some studies show that use of the sponge dries and irritates the vagina, which may increase the risk of HIV infection.2
The use of spermicides with nonoxynol-9 may increase your risk of getting HIV/AIDS. So be sure to use a condom for STI protection unless you know that you and your partner are infection-free.
Advantages of contraceptive sponge
- It does not affect future fertility for either the woman or the man.
- It is used only at the time of sexual intercourse.
- It is safe to use while breast-feeding.
- It is available in drugstores without a prescription.
Disadvantages of contraceptive sponge
Failure rates for the sponge and other barrier methods are higher than for most other methods of birth control. Other disadvantages of the sponge include the following:
- Some people are embarrassed to use this method or feel the method interrupts foreplay or intercourse.
- The couple must be comfortable with using the sponge and be prepared to use it every time they have sex.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting
ATHENS, Ga. - With 11 prospects already committed to its 2011 recruiting class, Georgia is off to a strong start to this year's recruiting cycle. Though Mark Richt and his staff are far from finished with 2011, they are also fast at work on recruiting and evaluating the class of 2012. On Saturday, Georgia displayed that focus on the future by hosting a camp that featured some of the top rising juniors in the southeast - and beyond.
Though there were plenty of impressive seniors on display in Athens, the storyline was really the junior class. The defensive back group was one of the deepest and most talented groups at the camp. Even among talented seniors like Gerrod Holliman and Andrew Johnson, a few underclassmen made names for themselves.
Atlanta (Ga.) St. Pius X cornerback Geno Smith is no stranger to competing in camps. At 5 feet 11, Smith has good length, extremely good recovery skills and instincts. He was extremely effective in coverage at the camp.
Deon Bush of Miami (Fla.) Columbus measured in a little taller than 6 feet and ran in the 4.5 range in the 40. With the size to grow into a safety, Bush really has cornerback cover abilities. Bush is the type of big cornerback that intrigues Georgia's defensive coaches. By the end of the summer, he will have likely emerged as one of the top 2012 prospects in south Florida.
Another cornerback prospect that impressed was Trae Elston out of Oxford, Ala. Elston already holds a host of scholarship offers despite his underclassman status. He showed the hips and coverage ability that legitimizes that interest. Another big corner, Elston measured in at just shorter than 6 feet. He may not have elite speed, but he does have a tremendous feel for the position.
Another rising Oxford junior, Kwon Alexander, has received more interest than Elston. Alexander is an athletic outside linebacker that flies to the football. Though he is only about 6 feet 1, he plays even longer than that. Alexander had a good day, but he really excels when the pads are strapped on.
On the offensive side of the ball, 2012 skill position prospects C.J. Curry and D.J. Goodman stood out at the camp.
This was the second appearance in front of Georgia coaches this summer in which Curry impressed. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder competed at wide receiver and looked very sharp getting upfield and catching the football. He is a fluid athlete that has natural ball-skills. Athletically, Curry does things with ease. He was effective at wide receiver on Saturday but has the body and versatility to project to safety as well.
Goodman showed up late to the camp, but as a back with good size (5-1, 185) he ran extremely well - reporting times in the 4.5 range. He showed very good pass-catching skills in position drills, good feet and balance and a frame that should add weight with ease. Look for Goodman to emerge as one of the top backs in South Carolina for the class of 2012.
The skill positions weren't the only places that were populated with young talent. In a talented camp on both sides of the line of scrimmage, some of the best performers were also from the 2012 class.
Perhaps no one had a stronger performance on the offensive line - in any class - than Jacksonville (Fla.) Bolles offensive tackle John Theus. Theus has a great offensive line body at 6 feet 6 and 286 pounds. He also has athleticism, toughness and a blue-collar mentality when he's competing.
It was no surprise that Theus left Athens with an offer after his performance. He has the talent to develop into one of the top offensive tackles in the nation in the 2012 class.
Auburn, Ala., offensive lineman Caleb Peterson was very effective. Listed as a tackle at 6 feet 4 and 290 pounds, Peterson may be actually end up on the inside in college. Though Peterson doesn't have the athleticism of some other prospects, he does have great knee bend, good flexibility and hips. He showed a very effective pass set. Peterson already holds offers from Alabama, Auburn and Southern Miss, and many more will likely be on the way.
Defensively, no one quite looked the part like Jonathan Taylor and Patrick Gamble. Gamble stands 6 feet 4 and weighs 275 pounds; Taylor is 6 feet 4 and 315 pounds. Each has terrific athleticism at that size.
With Taylor's size and nimble feet, offense may even be in his future. Late in the day, with Norcross defensive end Silverberry Mouhon dominating the edge with his speed and athleticism, Georgia offensive line coach Stacy Searels called for help from Taylor and lined him up at offensive tackle. Though he barely knew how to get in a pass-blocking stance and had clearly never been coached in a pass-set before, Taylor stymied Mouhon and showed a world of potential at the offensive tackle position.
The influx of 2012 talent was impressive, but there were certainly plenty of 2011 players on hand that made impressions as well. One who stood out was Ty Montgomery. The Stanford commitment made the trip to Athens from Dallas, and he made every play worth it.
Montgomery has a reputation as a fluid route-runner with sure hands and a strong frame. On Saturday, Montgomery flashed all of those attributes while also adding pure speed in a simply dominating performance. After clocking in at better than a 4.5 in the 40, Montgomery put that speed to work in the one-on-ones. He got behind defenders with speed or left them skating around because of his feet and route-running. His stock certainly looks to be on the rise after this camp. In fact, he could be a tough prospect for the Cardinal to hang on to in the end.
Griffin, Ga., athlete Nile Daniel didn't have anything to prove on the speed front, but he still came through with a blistering 40 time. He then showed the ability to make big plays in the pass game at receiver while also punching in on the defensive side of the ball. At 6 feet and 170 pounds, Daniel has the versatility and size to play either offense or defense on the next level. He clearly looks more comfortable on offense at the moment. But long-term, his upside may be higher as a defender.
A couple of massive linemen that had strong performances were Zach Debell and Watts Dantzler. Dantzler, 6-7 and 330 pounds, is one of the biggest prospects in the 2011 class. However, there have been questions about his quickness. On Saturday, he looked to have made some strides in that area. His feet have shown improvement and he is beginning to learn to play in his big body. Debell is a player that will likely continue to add weight to his big frame but already has loads of athleticism. His natural ability is what has coaches intrigued, but Debell still has some work to do on his technique.
On the other side of the ball, Lonnie Gosha showed some great quickness and explosiveness at defensive tackle. He is slightly undersized, but as an athletic, pursuing and penetrating defensive tackle, Gosha has a lot of ability.
Georgia's 2011 class was very well-represented at the event. Quarterback Christian LeMay, defensive end Sterling Bailey, linebacker Amarlo Herrera, safety Corey Moore, wide receiver Chris Conley and center David Andrews were all in attendance. They all were competing as if they were still fighting to earn a spot on Georgia's roster.
While all had good days in front of their future coaches, Conley may have the best case for top performance among the group. Playing at wide receiver, Conley has both good size and great speed. He stands 6 feet 2 and weighs 200 pounds, and he ran in the low 4.4 range. That kind of athleticism offers a high ceiling for Conley at receiver, though he is hardly raw. He showed great playmaking ability on the day, catching balls at all levels of the defense.
If Conley gets the nod for top performance by a Bulldog, Moore should get an honorable mention nod for best attitude. Moore came to the camp as a Georgia commitment and had every excuse to just go through the motions. But he took rep after rep in one-on-ones, taking on all challengers and working to get better under the watchful eye of defensive backs coach Scott Lakatos.
Though he has plenty of athletic ability and feel for the defensive back position, Moore's competitive attitude is one of the most encouraging aspects of his game.

Aerys II Targaryen
this wiki
- Robert Baratheon: "What about Aerys Targaryen? What did the Mad King say when you stabbed him in the back? I never asked. Did he call you a traitor? Did he plead for a reprieve?"
- Jaime Lannister: "He said the same thing he'd been saying for hours... "Burn them all.""
- — The Mad King's last words.[src]
Aerys II Targaryen, popularly called the Mad King, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is deceased when the events of the series begin. Liam Burke was cast to play him in flashback in Season 1,[1] but the scene was cut for time and pacing. Aerys Targaryen was the last member of House Targaryen to rule from the Iron Throne. He was famously insane and was deposed by Robert Baratheon in a civil war. He was formally styled as Aerys of House Targaryen, the Second of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
BackgroundAerys Targaryen, the Second of His Name, was King of the Seven Kingdoms and the last member of House Targaryen to sit the Iron Throne. Nicknamed the Mad King, his reign became increasingly erratic and murderous. A final round of blood-letting, unleashed when his son Prince Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna Stark of Winterfell, saw many houses in the realm rebel against his rule. Brandon Stark protested the abduction of his sister and demanded justice. Aerys had him arrested for treason and then offered to ransom him to his father Rickard Stark. Aerys summoned Rickard to court and when he arrived publicly executed both father and son.[2]
The noble houses of Stark, Tully, Arryn, and Baratheon raised the flags of rebellion and destroyed the royalist armies in several major engagements, culminating in the Battle of the Trident where Prince Rhaegar fell. King Aerys was betrayed by his former friend and King's Hand, Lord Tywin Lannister who led an army to apparently defend the capital at King's Landing but then brutally sacked the city instead. Aerys was killed by a member of his own Kingsguard, Ser Jaime Lannister, who stabbed his king in the back, to prevent him from destroying the city with the hidden caches of wildfire he already had ordered Wisdom Rossart, now his Hand of the King, to hide in several spots of the city. Aerys seemingly believed the massive inferno would transmute him into a dragon and then he would emerge to obliterate his enemies.[3]
Aerys was survived by his two youngest children, Viserys and Daenerys, who fled to the Free Cities.
Season 1
Aerys ordered Ser Barristan Selmy of the Kingsguard to destroy the Kingswood Brotherhood. Selmy himself killed their leader Simon Toyne.[4]
When Lyanna Stark was kidnapped by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, her brother Brandon rode to King's Landing to demand his sister's return. Aerys imprisoned Brandon and ordered that his father Rickard Stark ride south to answer for his son's impertinence. Against advice, Rickard agreed, assuming that the matter would be settled through a trial or a bargain of some kind. Instead, Aerys had Lord Rickard burned alive whilst Brandon watched, and then had Brandon strangled.[5]
The new Lord of Winterfell, Eddard Stark, declared war against Aerys, supported by Lyanna's betrothed, Robert Baratheon, and the powerful lords Hoster Tully and Jon Arryn. This sparked the beginning of the war known as Robert's Rebellion, which led to the near-destruction of House Targaryen and its removal from the Iron Throne. Rhaegar was killed by Robert at the Battle of the Trident.[6]
Sandor Clegane tells Sansa Stark that Ser Ilyn hasn't had much to say since Aerys had Ser Ilyn Payne's tongue torn out.[7] Jaime Lannister is confronted by both Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon about killing Aerys. Jaime killed Aerys at the end of Robert's Rebellion, when Lannister forces under his father Tywin Lannister took the city. His final words were "Burn them all." His death occurred during the Sack of King's Landing. Eddard mentions that Grand Maester Pycelle served King Aerys.[8]
Maester Aemon reveals that he is the uncle of King Aerys and because of his oath to the Night's Watch could not interfere during the rebellion.[9]
Grand Maester Pycelle recalls that King Aerys was a good man, at least at first. He then laments that he saw Aerys melt away before his eyes, as madness increasingly gripped his mind over the years and a once charming man was consumed by dreams of fire and blood.[10]
Season 2
Wisdom Hallyne of the Alchemists' Guild mentions Aerys as a fervent supporter of the guild. Aerys became obsessed with Wildfire in his later years. He warns Bronn that he would not have dared to insult the guild while Aerys was alive.[11]
Season 3
When held by Roose Bolton, Jaime Lannister reveals the true story of the Mad King's death to Brienne of Tarth.[12]

Behind the scenes
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Aerys Targaryen" is pronounced "AIR-eez Tar-GAIR-ee-in".
George R. R. Martin revealed that an actor had been cast as King Aerys II during Season 1 for filming a flashback scene of Rickard Stark and Brandon Stark's executions which had ultimately never been aired publicly.[13]
That actor was Liam Burke according to casting company information.[14]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Aerys II's reign began with great promise. Taking the throne at only the age of 20, Aerys installed a number of younger, vigorous and capable men in positions of power, whilst his own son Rhaegar showed promise of being a great king in his turn. However, Aerys, who occasionally showed signs of a terrible temper, became erratic following the brief uprising known as the Defiance of Duskendale, when he was held prisoner for several months by a rebellious lord before finally being rescued by Barristan Selmy. Aerys's fury on that occasion was terrible: all of those involved in the incident were killed, several by being burned alive. After that, his rage could no longer be held in check. After he burned several prominent lords alive and sanctioned his son's kidnap of Lyanna Stark, several noble houses rebelled against him. Ser Ilyn was captain of the guards for Tywin Lannister and made a joke that Tywin as Hand was the real ruler of Westeros: Aerys had his tongue cut out for the insult. Tywin could neither protest nor stop the punishment, but Robert made Ser Ilyn his new King's Justice on the occasion of his marriage to Cersei as a show of good will to Tywin. Aerys, impressed by the young Tywin Lannister's ruthlessness and effectiveness, made Tywin Hand of the King, but their relationship deteriorated in later years, as Aerys grew paranoid about Tywin's ambition. The problem was exacerbated by Aerys' well known lust for Tywin's wife. His marriage with his own sister-wife, Queen Rhaella, which had never been happy (they were forced to marry against their will) became violent and abusive towards the end.
Over the years Aerys became increasingly gripped by madness, experiencing vivid hallucinations and delusional paranoia. Aerys became obsessed with fire, frequently burning his perceived enemies alive. Eventually, he was having women and babies roasted on spits in the throne room because the voices in his head told him they were plotting his ruin. Aerys would often become sexually aroused after burning someone to death, at which he would savagely rape his wife Queen Rhaella (his daughter Daenerys was the product of one such attack, quite possibly the same day he killed Rickard and Brandon Stark). Attempts to restrain Aerys' delusional behavior only fueled his paranoia that all were against him.
Aerys' growing madness took a drastic toll on his physical appearance. Fearful of allowing blades in his presence (save those of his sworn Kingsguard), Aerys ceased to have his hair or nails cut for years. By the time of the rebellion, his fingernails had grown nearly a foot long, and his long, filthy, tangled hair and beard hung below his shoulders. Increasingly paranoid that someone would attempt to poison him, he ate so rarely that he became extremely gaunt. Combined with the stress from his madness, by the time of the rebellion, when Aerys was only forty years old, he looked as old and haggard as a man twice his age. Due to his insane meanderings, he accidentally cut his hands and thighs so many times on the Iron Throne that they were practically covered in scabs, leading some to refer to him as "King Scab" behind his back.
Aerys manner of death is slightly different from book to series. In the TV series, it is mentioned several times that Jaime stabbed him in the back, whereas in the book he slit Aerys' throat at the foot of the Iron Throne.
In a minor change from the books, Aerys II is said to be the son of King Aegon V Targaryen, rather than his grandson. His father, Jaehaerys II, appears to have been eliminated from the roll of kings. The reason for this appears to be to simplify the relationship between Maester Aemon - Aegon V's older brother - and the other Targaryens (by making Aemon Daenerys' grand-uncle, rather than great-grand-uncle).

Forgiveness: It's a Great Feeling
Sometimes forgiving the people who have hurt you is the best path to peace of mind and a way to move forward in your life.
The early life of John Welshons was a series of devastating physical and emotional hurts. At the center of this pain was his father, who became "a raging demon" when he was under the influence of alcohol. In the book Awakening from Grief, Welshons writes of his father, "He hated everyone, especially my mother, my sisters, and me."
Forgiving for Your Peace of Mind
After years of carrying resentment and anger toward his father, Welshons decided that enough was enough. He did not want to live his life in a constant state of hatred; his feelings were consuming him and damaging his life. So he did something he never imagined, he forgave his father.
Welshons, now a counselor who helps others with their feelings of grief and anger, says he forgave his father for his own peace of mind. "Forgiveness is for the forgiver," he says. "It was me who was not living life fully because I was angry at my father."
When you hear these types of stories, it makes you wonder how anyone can forgive another for inflicting so much pain. Forgiveness sounds good in theory and makes intuitive sense. But, the actual mechanisms of the process can elude us, especially when we are suffering from another's actions.
Forgiving for Your Health
Chronic stress and anger can have negative effects on our overall health. "The choice not to forgive someone is a form of stress," says Everett Worthington, PhD, director of the Campaign for Forgiveness Research. "If we maintain this for a long time, we may experience cardiovascular disorders, stress-related disorders, and maybe anger and fear-related disorders, as well."
Put simply, unforgiveness just does not feel good. "It is really not a good state of mind," says Welshons. "In the end, you suffer even more." In other words, unforgiveness can hurt you more than it hurts the object of your emotions. Nine times out of ten, he or she could care less.
Learning About Forgiveness
One of the reasons people do not practice more forgiveness is that they misunderstand what it actually entails. It does not mean that you approve of someone's actions or condone their behavior. "There is a big difference between forgiving someone and condoning what they have done," says Margaret Paul, PhD, lecturer and author of Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God?
Forgiveness does not mean that you continue to subject yourself to abusive behavior, nor do you have to agree to spend time with the person you are forgiving. It may be that in order to protect yourself physically and/or psychologically, you have to distance yourself from the other person. You can do so and still forgive, says Welshons.
So if forgiveness is not about reconciliation or excusing behavior, what is it about? "Forgiveness is an experience of feeling compassion in one's own heart for the other person. You move out of judgment and into compassion and understanding for the other person," says Dr. Paul. "Forgiveness is an emotional replacement of unforgiving emotions—such as resentment, hostility, anger and fear—with more positive emotions—such as love and empathy for the person who has hurt you," adds Dr. Worthington.
Starting the Process
So, you feel that you are ready to forgive someone who has caused you a lot of pain. Is that it? Unfortunately, it is usually not that simple. "As a rule, it does not happen in the blink of an eye," says Welshons.
Though there are cases of miraculous forgiveness, like when a murdered child's parents declare immediate forgiveness for their child's attacker, in most cases forgiveness is a process rather than an instantaneous decision. This is especially true when the hurt is deep-seated or especially severe. "If you have got a giant issue to forgive, it is probably going to take a long time," says Dr. Worthington.
Figuring Out How to Begin
In addition to taking time, forgiveness is also going to take work. Dr. Paul and Welshons agree that people need to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, and to concentrate on creating their own happiness rather than looking outside for fulfillment. "Forgiveness is a natural outcome of doing our own inner work," says Dr. Paul.
There is no single way to forgive. Dr. Worthington, for instance, has created a five-step process to lead people through the process of identifying and recalling the hurt, empathizing with the transgressor, giving the gift of forgiveness, and committing to and reinforcing the process. "We have a good deal of evidence that we can actually help people forgive," he says.
You may find that other methods, including meditation, yoga, religion, or therapy will assist you on your quest. Though talented therapists or teachers can put you on the right track, it is important that you own the process. What path you choose depends on your personality and the kinds of hurts you are working to forgive.
Though it may take time, do not get discouraged. Dr. Worthington says, "The longer that a person works to emphatically forgive, the more forgiveness they feel."

33 U.S. Code § 686 - Construction of restraining works in conjunction with State
prev | next
The Secretary of the Army, in expending appropriations in the preparation for and construction of works for the restraining or impounding of mining debris in the State of California, is authorized to enter into an agreement that the contractor shall look solely to the State of California for one-half of such expense, to be paid out of said State's appropriation, and the United States shall in nowise be liable for said one-half.
The Secretary of the Army, in carrying out the provisions of any Act of Congress, providing for the restraining or impounding of mining debris in California, may, in his discretion, when in his judgment the aggregate of appropriations already made by said State and Congress and available therefor are sufficient to complete the same, undertake the works necessary thereto by hired labor and by purchase of supplies and materials therefor, and may accept payments on account thereof as the work progresses under and according to the provisions of the acts of the legislature of said State for such purposes.
Source(July 1, 1898, ch. 546, § 1,30 Stat. 631; Mar. 3, 1899, ch. 425, § 1,30 Stat. 1148; July 26, 1947, ch. 343, title II, § 205(a),61 Stat. 501.)
Section was enacted as part of act Mar. 3, 1899, popularly known as the "Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1899", and not as part of act Mar. 1, 1893, ch. 183, 27 Stat. 507, which comprises this chapter.
As originally enacted the first paragraph read as follows: "The provisions of an Act of Congress, entitled 'An Act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, and for other purposes,' approved July first, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, authorizing the Secretary of War, in expending certain specified appropriations in the preparation for and construction of certain works for the restraining or impounding of mining debris in the State of California, to enter into a contract or contracts wherein the contractor or contractors shall look solely to that State for one-half of such expense, and that the United States shall in no wise be liable for said one-half, are hereby extended to any appropriations, when made, that may hereafter be made for said purposes."
Act July 1, 1898 authorized Secretary of War, in contracting for construction of certain proposed works, to enter into an agreement that contractor should look solely to California for half of expenses.
Change of Name
Department of War designated Department of the Army and title of Secretary of War changed to Secretary of the Army by section 205(a) of act July 26, 1947, ch. 343, title II, 61 Stat. 501. Section 205(a) of act July 26, 1947, was repealed by section 53 of act Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041 70A Stat. 641. Section 1 of act Aug. 10, 1956, enacted "Title 10, Armed Forces" which in sections 3010 to 3013 continued Department of the Army under administrative supervision of Secretary of the Army.

The Broncos spent $5 million to bring free-agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie into their secondary. The thinking was that his 6-foot-2 stature and wide wingspan would make a nice bookend to perennial Pro Bowl left corner Champ Bailey.
No wonder there was a gasp at Dove Valley when Rodgers-Cromartie hit the ground with an injury at training camp Wednesday. That was followed by a huge sigh of relief when it turned out he had a high sprain of his left ankle, an injury expected to sideline him only two to three weeks.
About the only guys who didn't blink when Rodgers-Cromartie was carted off the field were fellow cornerbacks Chris Harris and Tony Carter, both of whom entered the NFL as undrafted free agents. It's not that they don't care about their new teammate, it's just that they are absolutely convinced they can get the job done no matter how long Rodgers-Cromartie remains out.
"This just puts us back where we were last year," Harris said Friday. "We were a top-three secondary before he got here, so we still have guys who can do the job."
Harris, a third-year pro out of Kansas, stands 5-10. Carter, entering his fifth year out of Florida State, is 5-9. They insist that what they lack in stature, they make up for with experience and a growing familiarity with defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio's schemes and philosophy.
"That definitely helps when you know everything about the defense," Carter said. "You can play with more instinct, rather than playing with your head swimming out there. We are a year into Coach Del Rio's system, and that's a big plus."
Early indications are that Rodgers-Cromartie will be back in plenty of time to prepare for the Sept. 5 season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Del Rio, as well as coach John Fox, see the injury as a typical hurdle of training camp.
"It just gives the younger guys more work," Del Rio said. "At this time of year, we're repping everybody that can go in practice, so it's a little different dynamic than anything than might occur during the season."
Still, high-ankle sprains can be stubborn. And keep in mind that Rodgers-Cromartie not only sprained his left ankle while playing with the Eagles in November 2011, he tore ligaments too.
So right now, the Broncos are looking at all combinations in their secondary.
Friday, for example, the Broncos took a long look at the speedy Carter at right cornerback in the base defense, inserting the tough, quick-footed Harris as the nickel corner.
Harris will do whatever is asked. But if he has his way, he will be on the field for every defensive play, not just in nickel packages.
"I know what situation I'm in, being an undrafted guy, having to prove myself in my third year," said Harris, who will make $555,000 this season. "I know the Broncos will always bring in great talent, so I have to get better every year. I understand that.
"But I think I have gotten better. I pride myself on my technique and I think that sets me apart. I don't have to look at the playbook, I can play freely in this scheme. So I don't want to miss those 10, 15 plays a game. I want to be in there because I feel like I'm a playmaker."
He proved that last year, starting 12 games at right corner, as well as the playoff loss to Baltimore. He became a starter when Tracy Porter was injured and didn't relinquish the job when Porter returned to health.
Harris often was the right man at the right spot. He locked up the Broncos' win at San Diego in Week 6 by returning an interception 46 yards for a touchdown, helping spark their 11-game winning streak. He had a 98-yard TD return after picking off a Joe Flacco pass at Baltimore in December. That was the longest pick-6 play in franchise history.
Denver's season, of course, ended in disaster. The Ravens targeted Carter on the game-tying touchdown at the end of regulation in the playoff game. Carter missed the jam on the Ravens' Jacoby Jones on the touchdown play, setting the stage for Jones' dramatic reception over safety Rahim Moore.
But Carter is confident Denver's defensive backs can survive whatever is thrown at them this season.
"Chris and I went through something similar last year," Carter said. "I'm sure Dominique will be back soon, but in this league, you are just one play away. If they call on us, we're ready."

Turning a corner
Chris Harris and Tony Carter, both undrafted cornerbacks, contibuted to the Broncos' success last season:
• Started the final 12 games of the season, as well as the divisional playoff game vs. Baltimore.
• Had a two-interception game, including a 46-yard return for a touchdown, in a Week 6 victory at San Diego.
• Made the longest interception return for a touchdown in Broncos history with his 98-yard pick-6 at Baltimore on Dec. 16.
• Allowed the fewest completions (27) among players with at least 60 targeted passes .
• Became the 14th player in Broncos history to recover a fumble and intercept a pass in the same game (at San Diego, Oct. 15).
• Set season career highs in tackles (27), passes defended (12) and interceptions (2).

Comments On Sep 21, 2011:This shirt is great. It's the perfect base layer for both hot and cold.
When it's cold this shirt makes me feel warm. It also pulls away the sweat so that I don't freeze when I stop riding.
When it's hot I feel cooler than wearing nothing. My sweat seems to evaporate better and I seem to cool off quicker.
It looks blue in the photo, but mine was dark black. It looks great on, and I ordered a size up so it's not too 'skin tight' when I wear it without a jersey.
Try it, you'll like it.

The Art of Dressing Up
I think one of the reasons Debra and I get along so well is that we share a love for dressing up and playing with different costumes and styles. Dressing up is way to shift your attitude to transform yourself while having fun and enjoying life. You can create a magical experience by putting on a hat or a pair of earrings from a foreign destination. When I got to Debra's house she was taking a nap after a polarity session with one of her patients. With a little bit of inspiration, make up, and fun she transformed herself in a number of minutes.
Remember you can email Debra at firstname.lastname@example.com !

Oh! The jacket! Whereever did Debra get it? I, of course would not want the same one, just something similar. Or did she make it? Sewing is a talent that I admire greatly.
- February 23, 2010 at 2:15 PM
Great fun!
More Debra please.
I would kill for that jacket. I have several that are ethnographic in that they are made and reflect different countries and cultures.
The colour and patterns are just the sort of thing I would love to find. And no doubt this is one of Debra's wonderful bargains.
Definitely more Debra please.

Debra, you look just fabulous in these two videos. I love the hat and the jewellery, and on some people, it would just overwhelm them, but not you. I can't figure out how to put on eye makeup and not look older, so I usually skip it, but I agree, you need to bring your face up to the level of your accessories!

I heart only people in that they get up every morning and dress up, even if its to go to the bank.. their mind is in a different framework.. to them to go out of the house is to go out.. my grandmother once saw me in jeans and a hoodie, and when i said that sometimes i go to school like that she was flabbergasted...

You know how we sometimes need a little nudge to see in ourselves what has been a little dormant, perhaps because the other things of life muddy the view sometimes? Debra, you have been that nudge, catalyst, SPARK that I've needed. Looking at the comments above, it seems you have played that role in a few women's lives. Sartorially, I can get a little stuck, and especially when age makes me second guess ("Does this eye makeup [hat, dress, etc.] look awful in my late 50s? I can't even tell anymore..."). You are a liberating influence, Debra. Thank you! (Now, I only wish I looked like you...)

I just LOVE her hat. Do you think she could be persuaded to make a how-to video of the draping process she was talking about? That would simply rock. Does Debra sell her creations online?

Wonderful photos! Especially the profile shot exudes a mood of rich texture and color - brings to mind the Russian Tea Room!

text: Ventricular septal defect is a congenital defect of the heart, that occurs as an abnormal opening in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles. Ventricular septal defect may also be associated with other heart defects. Many small defects will close on their own. For those defects that do not spontaneously close, the outcome is good with surgical repair.
