This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool have contacted Chelsea about Daniel Sturridge's availability as they aim to make an immediate mark in the January window.
The England forward came close to moving to Anfield in the summer but manager Brendan Rodgers only wanted to do a loan deal then, while Sturridge wanted a permanent transfer.
But Sturridge may now get his wish in the new year, as Liverpool have spoken with Chelsea about resurrecting the move.
The club are desperately short of striking options; Fabio Borini faces another two months out with injury, while Andy Carroll will not be recalled from his loan at West Ham.
Arsenal's Theo Walcott is a top target but Sturridge, 23, is an acceptable alternative. Liverpool have also been watching Blackpool winger Tom Ince, who was once on the playing staff at Anfield.
Chairman Tom Werner said after Saturday's 3-0 victory over Wigan it was Liverpool's 'intention to strengthen' in the forthcoming window.
Rodgers could welcome back midfielder Lucas Leiva - out for three months with a ruptured thigh - into his squad on Thursday night for the Europa League game against Young Boys Berne.

Sophisticated cyber-attacks have exposed vulnerabilities for the industries they chosen to target. In 2013 it was considered the year of mega breaches and much has not changed in this calendar year. Motivations or the reasons behind this orchestrated attacks vary from one incident to the next yet the reality is clear that strengthening security must be a top priority for businesses presently on the web.
As the reliance grows on using new innovative technologies, so too comes the necessity to utilize robust security solutions. The obstacles for small-to-medium sized businesses beyond gaining profitability is finding the appropriate security measures that protect their infrastructure and data.
A denial-of-service or a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) request remains of the main arsenals for cyber attackers targeting specific government agencies, commercial entities and even on behalf of other interest groups.
The website security and traffic management platform, Fireblade, provided industry related insight on the nature of these attacks and how their service as a software (SaaS) solution counteracts these complex intrusions.
"Obviously the biggest emerging threat was DDoS, but at the same time malware infections site defacement and data breaches were on the rise as well. Fireblade's cloud solution mitigates the DDoS attacks before it has the chance to hit your infrastructure and webs server. The multi-layered firewall takes care of both known and unknown threats. Known threats are typically blocked either by signatures or the IP reputation," said Shay Rapaport, CEO of Fireblade.
He went on to explain in great detail that the multi-layered firewall-which is integrated into the product-resolves known and unknown threats when their clients experience an event such as a cyber-threat. The firewall will block them by signatures or based on IP reputation. For the unknown threats once they are detected this is remedied by detection or blocked by the behavioral firewall.
In 2014 the industries that continually face these detrimental attacks are influential financial institutions, ecommerce websites, pharmaceutical sites and gaming. These specific sectors have vital data hackers want to steal and will go through great lengths to do so.
These days certain regions of the world or specific countries where attacks come from tend to be in China or Russia. However, this changes since the nature of the cyber activity is predicated as a practice or hobby for those hackers that carry such actions out. What is troublesome is the difficulty to understand what the origin of the attack really is.
Plenty of anonymizing tools attackers have access to or can develop meanwhile hide the actual location of their IP addresses that can make tracing impossible at times.
For any business relying heavily on a web infrastructure investing on cyber security will be of great needs to run operations smoothly. Using a SaaS is one of many preventive measures you can include to oversee and monitor your online activity. What you want to shop around for is having a software solution that provides deep, personalized and complete understanding what are the weaknesses of your platform.
Arming your entire enterprise with robust security along with tools that help mitigate potential threats guarantees the reputation of the business. In addition, provide substantial proof to existing or new clients that you are on top of your game when it comes down to dealing with cyber security threats.

Well, my fellow Politicos, it seems the GOP has reached yet another all-time low. They keep doing that – just when you think they've scratched the bottom of the barrel with their misogynistic remarks and hate-filled, unconstitutional laws, they out-do themselves again. Impressive.

This book is a photographic record of my all too short travels in this wonderfully vibrant country, and shows a glimpse of some of the many magnificent sights to be seen there.

As I reported earlier here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com, the buyrate for SummerSlam was up big and beat expectations by more than 34% in North American buys. While international numbers didn't go up as much the show was seen as a huge success and Brock Lesnar's drawing power has come to the forefront.
One source said "this was the Brock show and he delivered… and then some." The 34% was based on the company's own inflated projection. I'm told it is huge for Lesnar and his supporters and Vince McMahon is going to have to reevaluate how to use him. My source says more eyes are going to be opened now more than ever to "go for the huge kill shot" for Brock vs. The Rock at Wrestlemania XXIX next year.
It's likely WWE will try and re-sign Lesnar, albeit at a lower rate, but Brock just proved he can draw even after being put under to John Cena in one of the worst creative calls in the company's history.

About me
In 1999 I met my husband. I was in my last years of college and he was an established artist working as a graphic designer. We began our life together. We bought a house and created a home, exploring colors on the walls, flowers in gardens. We used nails, wood and hammers to turn ideas into dreams. Once we outgrew our starter home we set our sights on creating something new, our family.
Soon after we had our daughter and two years later another. And then life became beautifully chaotic. Every year is special and unique. When my youngest daughter turned one, I attempted my first cake. It was a disaster. With my husband's encouragement and another birthday approaching I decided to try again, this time with better success. I got hooked and I've been caking ever since.
I'm a stay at home mom that loves to create beautiful birthday parties for my girls, my friends, and my family. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I've had creating them.
Thanks for checking out my site! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Worried that Russian President Vladimir Putin would intervene militarily in the Ukraine, Secretary of State John Kerry warned the Kremlin against a military solution. With 63-year-old Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich fleeing Kiev possibly for the Russian-friendly Crimea, Kerry hoped to reduce the chances the Ukraine would turn into the next Georgia, where Putin ordered Russian troops to divide the country. Russian troops continue to control Georgia's former territories of Abkasia and South Ossetia. When U.S.-friendly Georgian President 46-year-old Mikheil Saakashvilli provoked Putin into the South Ossetia War Aug. 7-16, 2008, Georgia lost over 20% of its territory to Russian occupation. U.S. officials sat idly by while Putin carved up Georgia like a Thanksgiving turkey. Kerry's public warning to Putin about showing restraint is likely to do the opposite.
Telling Putin to be "very careful" about intervening in the Ukraine, Kerry's warnings carry little clout, as history shows the U.S. won't intervene when it comes to Russia. U.S.-Russian military confrontation hit its climax during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, where President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev came dangerously close to a nuclear confrontation over installing Russian ICBMs in Cuba. When Russia carved up Georgia in 2008, the U.S. did nothing but squawk. Kerry insists that the U.S. wants only "to support Georgia's European and Euro-Atlantic vision," denying that the White House plays a zero-sum game in the Ukraine. Reports of Ukrainian rebels getting weapons and cash from the U.S. embassy in Kiev sparked strong reactions in the Kremlin, believing the U.S. was seeking a stronger strategic presence in the Black Sea.
Kerry's explanation that the U.S. is only interested in sponsoring economic success in the region didn't play well in Moscow. "We don't make that urging . . as some sort of zero-sum game between East and West or between us and any other party," insisted Kerry, despite obvious strategic issues by grabbing control of the Ukraine. With strong Russian backing in the industrial North, the Ukraine could cleave North-South, where pro-EU sentiment in the south could split the country along East-West lines. Kerry hopes his warnings convince Moscow to let the Ukraine fall into the Western orbit. "I think Russia needs to be very careful in the judgments that it makes going forward here," said Kerry. Putin knows that if he chooses to send in the Russian army, all bets are off. President Barack Obama has no stomach for pushing a confrontation more than over the airwaves.
Chasing Yanukovich out of Kiev into hiding, Putin's in no position to reinstate a 63-yuear-old corrupt dictator. After watching the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and rise of independent former Soviet satellites, there's a fierce independence among from Soviet states. When Yanukovich signaled he's be taking a $15 billion Kremlin-backed aid offer, opposition forces when crazy. Ukrainians, at least in the agrarian South, show affinity to the EU where Ukraine's youth hope to one-day find prosperity. "What we need to do is not get into an old Cold War confrontation," said Kerry, knowing full-well that it's exactly what's happened. If Putin cedes political control to the U.S. and EU, he'll weaken Russia's global position in the Black Sea and beyond. Like the U.S. holding the line against Communism, Putin knows Russia must confront U.S. imperialism.
Amassing more troops along the Ukrainian border and staging security exercises, Russia puts the West on notice that it won't abandon Russian-backed territories in the Ukraine, especially Crimea. Russian has its Black Sea Fleet and Air Force bases in Crimea near the city of Sevastopol. Setting up a Western-backed regime in Kiev would threaten Russian dominance in the region. Holding joint press events with Georgian Foreign Minister Irakli Garbashvili to show U.S. support for Georgia throws gasoline on an already volatile situation. Less is more with Kerry's incendiary public remarks, requiring more restraint. Putin won't be deterred by U.S. expressions of public support for Georgia or the Ukraine, especially without any intent to confront possible Russian military moves. Saying the U.S. "remains steadfast in our support of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity," antagonizes Putin.
Kerry's public remarks about the Ukraine and Georgia weaken the U.S. position by putting Putin on the defensive. "We continue to object to Russia's occupation, militarization and borderization of Georgian territory, and we call on Russia to fulfill its obligations under the 2008 ceasefire agreement, including the withdrawal of forces and free access for humanitarian assistance," said Kerry, kicking more dirt on U.S.-Russian relations. Telling Putin to get out Georgia does exactly the opposite. Given the Republican-backed sequester gutting the military and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's new plan to streamline the Army, it's difficult for Kerry to speak with any clout. U.S. enemies no longer fear a credible military threat. If the U.S. remains in retreat, Kerry's in no position to promise the Ukraine or Georgia anything, certainly not defending their sovereignty against Russia.

Genre: Feature
Too Hot To Touch 2 does a rather good job of concealing the fact that bountiful Tracey Adams has gotten a bit more bountiful, but you're not likely to notice the (minimal) excess baggage. The story revolves around Marc Wallice and Adams' stagnating marriage, and in order to put a little "zip" back in their relationship, the frigid Adams reluctantly agrees to accompany hubby to a swingers' resort.
There in the tropicals, regular swinger Alex Sanders gives luscious Lynden Johnson and her breasts the presidential treatment. Sanders licks her full-term, then plunges her ample pussy from behind, till she rides him like her Texan namesake to a powerful orgasm. Then, Wallice goes for a walk and comes across another regular, Alex Jordan. Having been married for 10 years, Jordan empathizes with Wallice's predicament and personally demonstrates what swinging can do for his sex life. Jordan is a master (mistress?) of sheet-clenching doggie scenes, a skill she well demonstrates here, after which Wallice ends it all with a sweeping spurt to the stomach.
Newcomer Angelica Rain and Adams give each other fairly amiable head, but it's in the next scene, with Randy West, that Rain really struts her stuff. She bounces on West's wiener like a pro and keens like an animal in heat as he doggies her on her beach chair. In the final obligatory reconciliation scene, Adams and Wallice return home for a make-up fuck that's calm by comparison to the others in this feature, but which shows that Adams still has what it takes. Tracey Adams' reappearance after so many months will be retailers' strongest marketing point.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak hasn't been talking to her parents since they ruined her wedding a couple of years ago. Kim told her mother that she couldn't go in the house, because little KJ was sleeping. On "Don't Be Tardy," Kroy told Kim's mother that if she woke up KJ that she would be kicked out. And sure enough, within minutes he was awake and crying, which had Kim kicking her mother out of her own wedding. Since then, they haven't really talked and Kim's mother has even pursued legal action so she could see her grandchildren. According to a new Radar Online report published on March 17, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak is now revealing that she is still not talking to her parents.
Yesterday, Kim visited Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" and she revealed that she had not talked to her parents, Karen and Joe. Even though the drama started out being just about her mother, Kim's father has since blasted her in the media, calling her a liar. "Have you guys talked yet?" the viewer asked. "No," Kim said, grimacing. And Cohen was shocked, simply saying, "Wow!" Cohen then followed up by asking Kim himself, "How about with your dad?" "No," Kim said, without elaborating. "Wow! I see," Andy said, then dropped the topic.
Of course, Kim could be filming the third season of the show now, which could mean that she is dealing with legal issues regarding her parents. What do you think of her answers?

This book will be the first in a series of photographic essays I will refer to as "In the Mediterranean Sun." Each will concentrate on a specific and memorable region in one of my favorite parts of the world. The images selected for this work comprise the most significant views captured during a walking tour, mostly in the village of Oia, on the Greek isle of Santorini - also known as Thera, in the Aegean arm of the Mediterranean Sea. They were taken during the highest sun time of day in the summer of 2007. It is my hope that these images will help revive the memories of those who have seen this beautiful place. For those not yet so fortunate, let the images serve as motivation to make the journey for the first time.
Creativity in one form or another has always been in my blood. Photography came early to me--long before the digital, have-it-now age. I sure have a lot of work from that time stowed away.. Not having issue with change, I've welcomed this new found ability to digitally capture the pixels in our world, the light, the shadow, the colors. Further, not being necessarily a traditionalist, I have been known to alter reality in the virtual darkroom of editing software. It is a wonderful thing. The focus of my work has always been more toward the inanimate. I have an appreciation for the shape and form in the engineered creations of man: architectural/structural, automotive, marine. Put all this into the world around us, and I'm at home behind the lens--hopefully to capture an image... in honor of reality.

Howard - thank you!
Your Santorini is a beautiful book full of wonderful images which makes me want to return to Oia. We were there last summer. It's a breathtaking village and you've captured its pure elements.

Defender insists team can get better
by Claire Forrester
Ladies star looking to return to winning ways.
Sunderland Ladies will face Oxford United on Sunday 3rd August, kick off 11.30am at the Hetton Centre and the Lady Black Cats will be looking to get back to winning ways.
Sunderland earned a hard fought point in last weekend's top of the table clash at Doncaster Rovers Belles, dropping their first points of the season but still maintaining their unbeaten streak in the league.
Earlier in the season Sunderland faced Oxford United in the FA Women's Cup and won the match comfortably 5-1. However, defender Victoria Greenwell is taking nothing for granted and is quick to point out that a lot has changed since the last time the sides met.
"When we played Oxford in the FA Cup it was before the WSL2 season had started," explains Greenwell. "Teams have been improving and adjusting to the league and its pace. We have to do our homework on Oxford and prepare as we normally do.
"We do not think that this game will be easy, in fact it was the first thing our manager spoke to us about after the final whistle at Doncaster, getting us to start preparing for our next game. We would be foolish to think it's going to be an easy game."
One game that certainly wasn't easy was last weekend's match at Doncaster where the Lady Black Cats worked hard to come back from a goal down and secure a point to keep themselves top of the table and two points ahead of their South Yorkshire rivals.
"We were pleased with the result at Doncaster because we came away with something," said Greenwell. "We have so many injuries in the squad and a suspension so to still come through the game and get something out of it, as well as creating many chances, was a real positive for us. A point away from home against a tough opposition is not a bad thing."
The team may be top of the league but that does not mean they will be getting complacent, in fact they are constantly looking to improve.
"We are getting results but I still think we have much more to give with the quality of players that we have," admits Greenwell. "We set high standards for ourselves and I know if we played to our best we would still be asking for more.
"Personally I really enjoyed the beginning of the season. I was scoring a couple of goals and I thought my fitness and strength had increased a lot. I don't think the break helped me as an individual, when you get a good run of games under your belt you don't want to stop. I will continue to work hard and hopefully regain the form, and goals, from the beginning of the season!"

ShapeShifting with Charlex
A short film from Alex Weil has some great VFX and CG work done using RealFlow, Houdini, Mental Ray, and several others. They document the process (and show the great film) over at FXGuide.
For one particular shot of a hoof impacting on the ground and causing grass and plant life to start growing, artists looked to the initial design frame by Park. "It was the initial design frame of this shot that inspired the whole story for her," recalls Weil. "It is a nod to Hayao Miyazaki's amazing animated film Princess Mononoke, the idea of life and growth spawning and growing from the creatures and the car parts. Based on her design frame, we matched the composition and began creating various plants to grow from the ground. We modeled and rigged all of the plants as opposed to using PaintFX."

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga.
-- First Lt. Hope Bell can probably beat you in arm wrestling. And yes, she can maintain her femininity while doing it, shattering age-old misconceptions of women's bodies one flex at a time.
Bell, 116th aircraft maintenance officer, placed third in the Supernatural Body Building and Fitness competition held in Suwannee, Ga. last month, something the soft-spoken Airman had not exactly foreseen for herself.
"I'm a very conservative person," she said. "And to be on stage in a bikini with people judging me is totally outside of my personality. I never felt like I was competing against the other girls but just there to showcase my best - competing with myself. I've always been fit, but I just wanted the challenge of doing something outside the box."
She not only womanned up, she achieved an especially impressive feat in the realms of such events by placing in what was her first competition.
Bell, 37, competed in the figure portion of the event in which contestants were graded based on muscle development in relation to their womanly curvature; the women were also judged on leanness and minimum body fat and asked to perform a variety of poses to accentuate certain muscle groups.
The competition consisted of two other categories, she said, one for those with minimum muscle development and a body-building division for those with denser muscle definition.
Bell wore a bejeweled bikini that had to meet strict standards due to the event being family-oriented.
"It's a very elegant, feminine contest, and I didn't realize that beforehand," she said. "In fact, we were required to wear five-inch heels. I had to practice walking around my house in those for several weeks."
Contestants were also asked to tan - naturally or with spray - and apply high-gloss lotion to their skin for stage lighting.
Aside from physiques, the women were graded on make-up, jewelry, walking and overall confidence in their stage presence.
Bell's workout regimen includes meeting with a team comprised of several other women at the Fitness Center each day at 4:30 a.m. just as the doors are opening.
She began training six months prior to the event, intensifying her routine by taking on a second daily workout session with Richard Williams, a volunteer trainer who works with the group.
At 5'5", Bell weighed 126 pounds at the time of the competition but said she is comfortable being anywhere between 130 and 140 pounds.
"I carry the weight that's right for me," she said. "During the competition, I was around 10-percent body fat. But women need to realize that's not sustainable because our feminine functions are reduced, you become fatigued, it affects mental capacity and we become irritable. I am well at 17-percent body fat."
As for her diet leading up to the competition, Bell said it did not require going hungry, as some might expect.
"There were different stages, and at first I wasn't eating enough dense nutrition, so I had to increase my fruits, vegetables and whole grains," she said. "As the training progressed, I increased my animal-based protein and cut all carbohydrates. People might think they can't eat this or that, and they psyche themselves out and sell themselves short. But it's very doable."
Determined fitness queen. U.S. Airman. Bell, originally from Southern California, is also the single mother of two, ages 6 and 9, further proving herself the quintessential strong woman in more ways than one.
Bell said she is fortunate to have children who follow her example of staying fit and active, ones who go to sleep the same time as she and are early to rise, making her rigorous training schedule possible, and that she even included them in weekend workouts.
Next year, Bell plans to compete in another event with plans to go further now that she knows what she can accomplish.
"I'm fortunate that I placed third," she said. "But I'm intent on competing again, and next time I want to place first. That's my goal."

Version Control Smackdown: Git vs Subversion vs Mercurial
Get three programmers into a discussion about which code versioning system they prefer, and you're guaranteed to end up with some ruffled feathers. I mean, the choice is obvious, right?
The truth is that each of the most popular content versioning systems has its ups and downs. Git handles branches and merges well, and it's very easy to set up a new repository. Subversion has the best set of client tools, but checkins and checkouts are faster (and smaller) with Mercurial.
Which source control system is the best? Cast your vote in the list below. If you'd like to nominate a new candidate for the title, scroll down to add it to the list. Want to argue your case? Leave a comment.

Nokia S60 Devices to get touch interface next year
Nokia has already indicated several times that it is planning to deliver touch user interface sometimes next year.
Today, at the Symbian smartphone show Nokia's senior VP for software platforms, Lee Williams the most extensive view of how and what Nokia plans to accomplish.
New Nokia touch screen UI will become a part of S60 and will be available to multiple manufacturers that are using S60 User Interface platform. So we can expect not only S60 based Nseries devices from Nokia, bot something interesting coming from Samsung and other cellphone makers.
The S60 touch UI itself will look like this:
Lee Williams also gave an extensive description of how this will actually work.
Key highlights for S60 touch interface will include:
- It will be able to support devices with and without keyboard, stylus and finger inputs
- It will provide tactile feedback via haptics technologies
- The interface will be multilingual with support Asian languages as well
- Advanced sensor framework and UI acceleration toolkit will be provided for developers for easier adoption
- Multiple gestures will be supported. Possibility for users and developers to customize them provided
- It will be backwards compatible with older S60 applications
- Embedded Flash Lite 3 for desktop like video experience
- First products with touch support will become available in 2008
You can watch most of Lee Williams presentation here:
Well, it looks like Apple wasn't 5 years ahead of other portable device makers. If everything described in the presentations will become a reality, S60 devices soon will give an iPhone a serious run for the money.
And Apple better make up it's mind opening an iPhone to the third party developers, or it may soon be Apple Mac vs Microsoft Windows PC, all over again.

Remember the save game has to be in the ebon hawk or your hideout otherwise it wont work. So double-click kmu and wait, ok now you have 2 choices about the training click your one, now choose your option ok itll say choose a feat/power/e.t.c you posses say you want all implant levels and you want to get read of empathy or watever, you find a feat you have already then when its says choose a feat you want to exchange and press the number that corrasponds with empathy or the one u dont need, ok now its should come up with 1st feats 2nd feats e.t.c choose 1st feats if you want implants choose implant level one, now you have that feat, if you want all three levels then you will have exchange another feat you dont need to get all three levels of implants, but the trick to kmu is that you dont need the second level, e.g. you have 1st level implant skip 2nd and have 3rd instead ok you have to hav the first one though cos without level one there can be no level 3, ok hope you got all that, one more tip for you if thats to hard just exchange one feat for profeciency all in special feats (it gives you all prequistes)

"True Italian flavours are created with only the freshest seasonal ingredients."
"True Italian flavours are created with only the freshest seasonal ingredients."
Head Chef Marco Priolo
Chef Priolo, born in Brescia, north Italy, entered the world of gastronomy at the age of 14, with a strong determination to pursue a career in the kitchen, "where all the magic takes place." The motive for his becoming a chef originated from childhood experiences. As a child, Chef Priolo frequently visited his grandparents' farmland, where assorted herbs and vegetables were available, as well as chickens, pigs and rabbits. Watching his grandfather make salami or handling various ingredients became a part of his "fun time." Such influence also explains why many aspects of the industry came naturally to Chef Priolo.
Prior to being appointed Head Chef of Marco Polo Restaurant, Chef Priolo worked in many grand hotels and high-end restaurants, including Michelin one-star Al Desco Italian Restaurant, Hotel Des Bains in Venice, Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Hyde Park, Grand Millennium Sukhumvit Hotel, and The Leela Kempinski Palaces in Mumbai. Before Taiwan, Chef Priolo gained experience in several countries, including Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Thailand and India.
Chef Priolo joins traditional Italian strands together in a unique way, injecting new life to familiar combinations. His creations echo his imagination and feature seasonal ingredients that harmonise in taste. Many of his dishes are attention-grabbing because they are presented in an unexpected form. Every dish offers the essential five senses – visual, touch, sound, smell and taste – and to Chef Priolo, tastes should be reflected in four key elements, which are sour, sweet, salty and bitter. By that, Chef Priolo emphasises the importance of using natural elements, instead of defining sweetness and saltiness, for example, through adding sugar or salt.Always striving to impress his guests, Chef Priolo presents a menu packed with spectacular dishes that reflect quality seasonal ingredients in true Italian style.

Oops! It seems I took a bit of an unexpected blog break - a phone cable somewhere deep underground that connects my little studio to the outside world broke over a week ago and I've been without internet ever since. Fingers crossed all will be resolved by tomorrow evening when the lovely Telstra people come out to fix it (currently I'm working from the local cafe, it's kinda nice having a change of scenery!).
It's amazing how productive I've been without the distraction of email, Facebook, Twitter, and the million and one other 'important' things I like to do online. I've been busy sewing up some things to take along to Magnolia Square, which starts this Thursday at the St Kilda Town Hall.
I also took a bit of a long weekend and headed south with a friend to spend a few days on a farm just outside of Lorne. There were zucchini's to pick (lots and lots of zucchini...), early morning walks, a drive along the Great Ocean Road, lots of good food, and a few afternoon naps. Photo's and more to come when I'm back online, I promise!
Happy Monday x

I have a file "a.txt" and its hardlink "ha.txt". If I open either of those files in notepad and save any changes it would appear in both files as they are still linked. But if I overwrite (copy) a.txt with another file with same name the hardlink breaks. What other operations do this?
Also, can I use it to backup a folder? Since if I ever change (overwrite) "a.txt" the hardlink automatically breaks and I have 2 copies. But because it depends on what I use to overwrite it (notepad certainly won't work) it ultimately depends on what operations in windows "breaks" the hardlinks and make copies?

Hope Street Program Visits Cleveland
The Hope Street program visited Cleveland Elementary School on Thursday, April 24, 2014. The program is designed to provide mentors and school supplies for eighth grade students as they embark their high school and college career. Students from the University of the Pacific visited our eighth graders and provided them with advice and backpacks filled with school supplies.
Initially founded in 2011 by Kyle Sasai, a senior at the University of the Pacific, volunteers from the Hope Street program have now been visiting Cleveland Elementary School eighth graders for the past four years. The visits from student mentors from the UOP has now become a yearly tradition at our school. The program has also expanded to serve other schools in Stockton Unified School District.
Our eighth grade students were excited to gain some insight into the high school and college experience. The UOP students answered many spirited questions from our eighth graders. In addition, the UOP students also provided contact information for our students to continue mentoring the students throughout the next school year.

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Thanks to a new law passed in September, those who are behind in taxes on their home have a better option. Now you can go to the Webb County tax assessor office and ask for a payment plan. As long as you make your payments every month, you are protected from a lawsuit against your property. Tax assessor Patricia Barrera recommends everyone who is behind to make a payment arrangement before July 1. That's when fees will go up.
"You'll also incur a 15% attorney fees so before that happens and before there is a lawsuit, and when there is a lawsuit, they will also charge you court costs. So if you are a homesteader and you are delinquent on your taxes, come to my office ask us for the installment payment contract, we have to by law give it to you."
These are for people who are delinquent on their 2013 homestead taxes. The payment plan can be a 12, 24 or 36-month plan of equal payments.

New Oishii Ramen: Hokkaido Ramen Santouka
It's right next door to Don Quijote Kaheka Street. Kept hearing about how good their ramen is and had to see for myself. With locations across Japan, Asia, Canada and the US, it's easy to see why Santouka is the real deal.
Having eaten ramen in Hokkaido, Tokyo, Kyoto and Fukuoka-I'm always looking on the look out for good ramen especially here in Hawaii. I ordered the char siu miso ramen and the toriniku (chicken) side order.
Verdict: AWESOME! the broth is OISHII! Thumbs up on the noodles (consistency is just right) and char siu was tender and perfectly seasoned. The super standout, the toriniku. With negi (green onion), was totally blown away.
Here's the website.. do check Santouka out. If you're going at lunch or dinner time, prepare to wait in line, it's that good.
Finally, check out the new Doko Ga TV: JapanMania website.. been filming over a year and working on the new DGTV 2.0 episodes-coming soon! www.dokoga.tv
Have a great week and all the best!

Forts were the coolest thing about being a kid. Give us a few dead branches and an old sheet, and we'd construct ourselves a remote woodland palace. And unlike our current abodes, the fort never needed a circuit rewired or a dishwasher repaired. It's a bit too late for us to go back to those easy days, but we can at least introduce our kids to the same fun with this Stick-lets Fort Kit ($46). This collection of colorful brackets makes it possible for them to take their constructions to a level we never could have dreamed of back in the days of tape and twine.

Softball Downs Louisiana-Lafayette, 5-3, In 13 Innings
May 16, 2002
LAFAYETTE, La. - The No. 4 seed University of Massachusetts defeated No. 3 seed and host Louisiana-Lafayette, 5-3, in the first round of the NCAA Regional Softball Tournament this evening. The extra-inning victory improves the Minutewomen to 53-11 overall and advances them to the second round of play with a 5:00 p.m. game against No. 2 seed Arizona State tomorrow.
UMass got on the board in the top of the fifth on two hits. Senior Teri Rooney (Visalia, Calif.) led off with a single up the middle and advanced to second with her eighth stolen base of the season. Junior Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) then drilled a two out line drive over the second baseman to score Rooney from second and give the Minutewomen the 1-0 edge.
Louisiana-Lafayette answered in the bottom half of the fifth inning on two hits and a UMass error. The Lady Cajuns loaded the bases with one out on back-to-back singles and a walk. A UMass throwing error at the plate scored Jerie Alexander to knot the score, 1-1. Holtz then forced a line out and a weak comebacker to the mound to end the inning and strand three ULL runners on base.
The Lady Cajuns took a 2-1 lead in the bottom half of the sixth inning on a solo home run over the right field wall by Tiffany Grayson, her tenth dinger of the season. The home run marked the first earned run UMass has allowed in 56 innings of play.
With two outs and a two strike count in the top of the seventh, Holtz laced a shot into left field to score Rooney from third base and tie the game at 2-2. Holtz returned to the mound in the bottom of the seventh and retired the side in order and force the game into extra-innings.
Junior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.) crushed a pitch over the left field wall to lead off the ninth inning and put UMass on top, 3-2, but the Lady Cajuns would not go quietly. In the bottom the ninth Missy Martin hit a two out RBI single to score Becky McMurtry and tie the game at 3-3.
The Minutewomen tallied the game-winning run on back-to-back Louisiana-Lafayette errors which scored Holtz from first. Junior Anna Perey (Chino Valley, Ariz.) added an insurance run when she singled down the third base line to score sophomore Jamie Cahalan (Mesa, Ariz.) from third.
Senior hurler Jennifer Hadley (Bristol, Conn.) relieved Holtz on the mound in the 12th inning.Hadley had two strikeouts and gave up two hits to earn her 25th win of the season, which ties her for the fourth best single-season wins mark in school history. Holtz finished with 10 strikeouts, while allowing 15 hits and three runs. Rooney went 2-for-5 at the plate to break the record for single-season hits with 77. Holtz, Perey and Robustelli each batted 3-for-6 on the game.

With Memorial weekend a thing of the past, we are entering into the month of June, and with that comes that time of year that everyone looks forward to (or dreads, I suppose, depending on your perspective!) I'm talking of course about wedding season! Whether you are part of a wedding party, or just have several wedding invitations (like four!), there's no denying that starting in June, love is definitely in the air.
For wedding crashers and love-a-holics alike, there's nothing quite like a wedding to bring out the fun and flirty side of people--especially when you are single! There's SO many ways to get your flirt on at a summer wedding that a person definitely doesn't need my assistance in figuring out what to do to catch the eye of that cute usher. Just in case though, here's some information that might come in handy.
Two words: White Strips. One of the most attractive qualities is confidence, and one of the simplest ways to give yourself a huge confidence boost is to make those pearly whites be--well, a little pearlier and whiter! Its not expensive, only takes 30 minutes a day, and will give you instant sex appeal. Trust and believe on this one.
Another thing you can do is scope out the wedding party/potential guests ahead of time. Most weddings these days will have a wedding website with the names of the people involved. You can then scope out your soon-to-be-married friends Facebook page, and see if theres anyone who looks promising. Sure, it seems a little stalkerish, but all you are doing is checking for potential! You can always request to be seated close to that person, and then strike up a super-stimulating conversation. (Thanks to 'Maxim' for this one!)
While you are enjoying your wedding season, do just that: enjoy it. Do you want to talk to that person who's sitting at a table at the reception, head resting on a hand, with a bored expression on their face? Me neither. So be one of those people having the time of your life, dancing it up, mingling with everyone (with your white strips smile, of course!) and you'll definitely get noticed. If you want to take it up a notch, then go visit the girls at the MAC counter at Younkers Valley West, and they'll give you an amazing sultry look--and you don't need to buy anything!
So go out and start enjoying your wedding season--with these tips, you'll definitely be ready to say "I do" to some flirty fun!

The Scarlet Ibis
by James Hurst
The Scarlet Ibis Part 2 Summary
- Even though the doctor says that Doodle's heart is too weak to handle crawling, Doodle learns, with much struggle, to crawl.
- This is when he's three years old.
- From then on, Doodle is a real part of the family.
- Now that he's crawling, and doing some talking, the name William Armstrong doesn't fit. So the narrator gives him the new name.
- Doodle, you see, only crawls backwards, reminding the narrator of a "doodle-bug," hence the name Doodle (2.2).
- (The US Tiger Beetle is sometimes known as the doodle-bug. Click here for a picture and details.)
- Mama and Daddy think the name Doodle is an improvement over William Armstrong.
- Aunt Nicey, on the other hand, thinks that the name Doodle didn't show the "special respect" caul babies should be given (2.2). Caul babies "might turn out to be saints" (2.2).
- Doodle learns to talk before he learns to walk.
- He talks and talks and talks.
- The family stops "listening" to Doodle after a time (2.3).
- Daddy makes a "go-cart" so the narrator can pull him around.
- The narrator pulls Doodle around on the porch ("the piazza"), but Doodle soon wants more (2.3).
- By crying, Doodle gets the narrator to take him first into the yard, and then everywhere else the narrator goes.
- According to the doctor, Doodle is very delicate, and "must always be treated gently" (2.4). The narrator disobeys all the doctor's orders and plays rough with Doodle, even making him fall out of the cart.
- Nothing the narrator does discourages Doodle. He realizes that Doodle is going to stick to him like glue, "forever" (2.4).
- The narrator decides to "share with [Doodle] the only beauty" he is aware of, Old Woman Swamp (2.4).
- When Doodle is situated on the grass of the swamp bank, he starts crying. He tells the narrator that he's crying because the area is, "So pretty, pretty, pretty" (2.6).
- The brothers make a habit of visiting the swamp.
- They make "necklaces and crowns" from all kinds of flowers and grass, and they lounge around (2.7). When the sun starts to get low, they toss the jewelry in the river.
- The narrator knows that inside of himself and others "there is a knot of cruelty borne by a stream of love" (2.7). ("Borne" means "carried." The narrator is saying that a stream of love can carry a "knot of cruelty." This is probably another way of saying that sometimes we hurt the ones we love.)
- Sometimes he can be mean to Doodle. For example, he takes Doodle "to the barn loft" and shows him the coffin Daddy bought when they didn't think Doodle would make it. Some owls are nesting in it.
- Doodle tells the narrator that the coffin isn't his.
- The narrator says Doodle has to touch it if he wants to leave the loft. Then he pretends to go down the ladder.
- Doodle is afraid of being abandoned. He says, "Don't go leave me, Brother" (2.13). (Now we can stop calling him "the narrator," and call him Brother.)
- Doodle quickly touches the coffin, screaming. An owl flies out and scares both of them.
- Doodle can't move. Brother carries him down in the bright light of the day.
- Doodle begs Brother not to leave him.

SEATTLE -- Following a two-week break from action, the Huskies returned to the field on Thursday evening to play the Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
The Reign opened the scoring in the 12th minute as Washington alum, Kate Deines, headed home a cross from Lauren Barnes. The next thirty minutes of action saw the Reign carry play, but unable to break down the Husky defense led by Stine Shoening and Allyson Brahs.
Playing in a 4-3-3, the Huskies were able to find some success on the counter with the speed of Jaclyn Softli causing the Reign backline problems. In the 43rd minute, Megan Kufeld made a great save to tip over a Danielle Foxhoven header from six yards out. Unfortunately for the Huskies, on the ensuing corner kick, Foxhoven scored from two yards out to give the Reign a 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
"My only real disappointment in the game tonight is that I felt we gave up somewhat atypical soft goals and didn't come out with the energy that we needed to compete against a team of this caliber," said head coach Lesle Gallimore. "Playing this game three days after our two-week layoff for finals and spring break isn't ideal, but we took the game in a heartbeat because it's a great opportunity for us to learn and grow as a team. We had a large portion of today's starting lineup that did not start in the fall, and to get this kind of game under their belts can only be positive for us moving forward."
In the second half, the Huskies came out energized with Becca Schoales and Softli both stretching the field while asking questions of the Reign defenders. In the midfield, Amanda Perez and Kate Bennett were becoming more involved, which led to quite a few attacking restarts for the Dawgs. With the game beginning to open up more, Nahomi Kawasumi, countered for the Reign and set up Kendall Fletcher to score with a blast from the top of the box.
"I thought we came out battling and with much better attacking energy in the second half and created some opportunities that could have led to goals," said Gallimore. "Specifically, I thought we had several restarts, corners and free kicks, that we didn't look as sharp on and we'll address that; restarts are a big part of the game and an area we need to improve upon."
The Reign would add to their lead in the 73' with Bev Goebel scoring from close range. Lyndsey Patterson finished out the scoring in the 87' after great combination play from Kawasumi and Goebel.
"We had more of the ball in the second half than in the first and competed harder but were punished primarily due to our own unforced giveaways in dangerous parts of the field, said Gallimore. "The Reign had a couple quality finishes and broke us down a few times, but I also thought that with their pace and skill we actually thwarted a good number of their attacks and that Megan Kufeld came up with several quality saves. Again, we needed to do more with the chances we did create and we'll continue to address that."
"Having covered the Reign as a color commentator in their inaugural season in 2013, I can already see, even with their U.S., Scottish, and Welsh players missing, that they are much, much improved," said Gallimore. "Bev Goebel and Nahomi Kawasumi in particular are very, very talented players that add another level to that squad. You throw in Kim Little and the likes of Sydney LeRoux and they will be an attacking force to be reckoned with."
Following the loss to the Reign, the Huskies move to 1-1 this spring and will return to action at the University of Portland on Sunday, April 13, at 1:00pm.
"We're grateful to have a professional team in our city, and thankful to have the opportunity to play them," said Gallimore. "It's great for our young team to be on the pitch battling with that kind of quality. We'll take a lot of positives from this match and now get back to our training rhythm and prepare for our final three matches of the spring season. I'm confident that we're better for this experience."

Fourth-Year Head Coach Ruffin McNeill
Oct. 14, 2013
Coach McNeill Press Conference
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Fourth-year East Carolina Head Coach Ruffin McNeill addressed members of the media Monday prior to this week's game against Southern Miss. The following are selected comments:
Opening Statement:
"It was a tough loss. The thing that was tough about it was, when we watched the film, the kids played extremely hard. It was a strain, which is different from effort. They strained on every play of the game and I was very proud of that. It was our third game in a row on the road. Time ran out on us and we didn't come up on the positive end of that.
"We saw some positive things from all three sides of the ball. Defensively, we had some stops and had third down improvements. We held them to some field goals and responded to some of those changes effectively. There were a few times when we had to make a stop and we did. The offense saw some tough things in the first half, made some adjustments at halftime and moved the ball better in the second half. When we had to have the drive when we were down by 10, we drove down and got a field goal and then a touchdown. Special teams tied in with all phases from the coverage team to the return teams. The outcome is the one everyone sees, but there were some positive things in there that we can build from.
"We told our players that every goal that we had in front of us is still attainable. The most immediate goal in front of us right now is Southern Miss at home at Dowdy-Ficklen [Stadium]. Even more immediate than that for us coaches is to have a great game-plan today and a great practice tomorrow to make sure we do what we have to do to be successful on Saturday."
On Southern Miss:
"They're a program that, since I've been a player and a coach, is always a tough football game. I know they've had a tough season thus far, but you also know how they've built that program. Their community believes in their program like this community does here.
"Defensively, they return six players from last year's ball club. They've always been big inside, always could run and they still have that. I had the chance to watch [their film] against Nebraska and Boise State. You can still see the speed that they have up front at each position. We know we'll have to be ready to contend with that. DeBarriaus Miller is a defensive back that we'll have to keep an eye on. Alan Hawze, their middle linebacker, shows up really well on film.
"Offensively, they have a transfer quarterback from California in Allan Bridgford. I know he's had a tough beginning, but Sonny Dykes, whom I coached with at Texas Tech and is not the head coach at Cal, likes him. We have to make sure we are ready for whatever he will bring. They spread the football offensively like we do and stretch you both vertically and horizontally with screens, and also add the run game as well. It will be an offense similar to the ones we've seen all year."
On Placekicker Warren Harvey:
"Warren Harvey is our kicker and we're proud to have him on our team. He is a football player who happens to be a specialist. He's not a specialist who happens to play football. He had a tough day the other day. He is like the quarterback or the head coach on the team, because you get too much credit when you do well and you get blame when you don't do well. The first thing he wanted to do was take the blame upon himself. No one player or group wins or loses a football game. That's the way we feel here at our program."
On Vintavious Cooper's Performance:
"I'm glad he was able to play. Our offense has run close to 300 plays in the last three games. Even bigger than that, those five big guys up front haven't come out of those games. I was proud of Tay. He was a leader the whole game and never says a word except giving his offensive line praise."
On Cooper's Condition the Next Day:
"He was beat up like a boxer like he is, always. No excuses, no complaints and there will be no comparison - that's our deal. He went through Coach Connors' workout and he was ready to go to work last night. He'll be getting a full load on Tuesday."
On How To Get Warren Harvey's Confidence Back:
"The biggest thing we told him is that we believe in him. Warren has earned his way here. When you have earned and nothing has been given, he's not afraid of it. He has a belief in faith and God. He's one of our top students - period - here at East Carolina. He has great parents and his brother, Addison, is one of the best video guys I've been around. Last night, we put him in the same situation with no time on the clock, and he drilled it."
On How He Feels About The Offensive Line At This Point In The Year:
"They've done a great job all year. They had a tough night the other night, but that team blitzes. They've played 300 reps in three games and we still have a chance to win our division. They played well together. A lot of our other stats would not happen without them."
On How Much Conditioning In The Offseason Pays Off At This Time Of The Year:
"It's the key. Getting Coach Connors back here has been a blessing. He is a combination and mixture of a drill sergeant and a scientist. He has the unique ability, which is hard, to have an intense level in his training program. But at the same time, be able to talk to someone and not at someone. After he works them and takes them to a point where they could not go by themselves, they respect him and tell him that they love him."
On How He Assesses The First Half Of The Season:
"I like where we are right now. We've lost two games by eight [total] points. There have been some experiences that have happened to us during that six-game stretch, positive and tough, that we have learned from. Developing our team is where we'll head from here."
On Wide Receiver Justin Hardy:
"He's as humble of a kid as I've ever been around - the epitome of what we want in a student-athlete. He's as competitive of an individual as I've ever seen. Sometimes, people mistake kindness for a weakness. Justin is that way, but when it's time to put on the helmet, buckle up the pads and tighten up the belt buckle on the pants, he's full of fire. He thinks about the team first in anything he does."
On The Level Of Respect And History Between East Carolina And Southern Miss:
"As a player and coach, it has always been a big-boy pad day. It is not a place for anyone with a faint of heart. It was always one of the most physical contests that I've played in and been a part of."
On Having Jeremy Grove Back In The Linebacker Rotation:
"He's such a physical, old-school football player. We have to make sure he feels good about it and he's getting more confident after his injury. We will keep integrating him into getting more reps and workload. Jeremy is a big part of our team. His presence the other night was big and the more he plays, it will become even more important."
On Military Appreciation Day This Saturday:
"It's an honor to be able to do the things we are able to do in this country because men and women sacrifice their lives for us at a moment's notice. For me to go out and have a chance to be a part of something I love, around our kids and coaching is due to the bravery and courage of our military. I know we'll have a grand welcome at the game."

/ Meade Creek Horizontal Directional Drilling Pipeline Project
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
Sheridan Field Office
The Mead-Coffeen Horizontal Directional Drilling project is located in section 8, township 53 north, range 83 west at Story, Wyoming. The purpose of the project is to convey Mead-Coffeen Canal irrigation water from an inlet elevation of 5052.0 to an outlet elevation of 4887.0 within a horizontal distance of 680 feet thus eliminating an eroding head cut and reducing downstream sediment transport in the irrigation canal. The sediments that have deposited downstream in the canal have caused problems for downstream irrigators. Sediments from this head cut can wear out nozzles on sprinkler systems, build up behind irrigation turnouts, settle out in irrigation pipelines, and clog field ditches. In the past water was transferred from the canal through a tunnel that had been lined with a Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP). The pipe lined tunnel has been failing for several years, from the outlet end, creating a head cut within this reach of the irrigation canal. The alternative selected was to replace the failing Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) lined tunnel with a 22" diameter High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) pipeline. This HDPE pipeline is installed immediately east of the existing inlet. The proposed pipeline will carry 40 cfs. The inlet structure to the pipeline consists of a new 21.0 cubic yard box inlet structure with a fabricated trash rack. Construction began in November, 2007.

Startup brings molecular diagnostics to India's swelling market
With its gargantuan population and growing demand for healthcare, India is a huge target for pharmas and devicemakers looking to capitalize on emerging markets. But access to the next-gen diagnostics that guide treatments in the West is largely lacking, and Indian patients often have to send samples away to the U.S. and U.K.
With that in mind, startup Core Diagnostics has acquired the technology and capital to provide high-tech assays to patients, absorbing OncoMDx's platform and drawing $5.1 million from Artiman Ventures. The company opened its New Delhi shop this week, offering tests in oncology, cardiology and other areas.
"Effective treatment for any disease begins with an accurate and timely diagnosis," CEO Mohan Uttarwar said in a statement. "While India has made tremendous progress in healthcare over the past decade, we lag behind the Western world when it comes to diagnostics. Our aim at Core is to bridge the diagnostic deficit."
Core has already partnered with CardioDx and Genentech, and Artiman partner Ramesh Radhakrishnan said the company--and India's diagnostics market as a whole--will only attract more attention as companies around the world recognize the country's unmet need.
"We have been tracking the innovation gap in clinical diagnostics (in India) for several years now," Radhakrishnan said in a statement. "It has been increasingly clear that upstream, i.e., the diagnostic part of the healthcare value chain needs to become as robust as the downstream, i.e., the therapeutic part."

Subtlety is an abstract art form. It takes intuition and trust to know what not to say in your writing. You have to trust that your intended audience will be able to pull together the details with which you've provided them to gain a larger understanding of your story. This, like many aspects of writing, feeds right back in to the number one rule, "Show. Don't tell."
As a reader and an editor, I have been seeing this subtler aspect of the rule lying in metaphorical ditches across the genres. But forgoing the art of subtlety prevents readers from discovering the story for themselves. I recently started Cassandra Clare's young adult book, City of Bones. It only took me a minute to figure out why I was struggling to make it through the first several chapters and that was because she failed to edit for subtlety. For example, one of the main characters felt it was necessary to define the word "demon" to a demon that he was about to kill. Doesn't that sound a bit unnecessary? It was entirely. Clare used this as a tool to reveal the fae world to another main character and to explain her take on the fae world's lexicology to the reader.
Unfortunately, Clare failed to realize that she had already succeeded in defining this lexicology through the characters' actions, reducing her efforts to redundancy. Still, her Mortal Instruments series is popular. Though she could stand to edit out the telling, she did add quite a bit of showing to the mix, too, which probably saved her series. However, by relying so heavily on both showing and telling points that could have described in a subtler light, I doubt it will gain the general acclaim of, say, the Harry Potter series.
I don't actually hate the authors for failing to edit for subtlety though. I feel bad for them. I know what it is like to write a story. You get so close that you blind yourself to Captain Obvious' appearances. But, it is something to look out for during the editing phase. Many mystery novels may be criticized for being too formulaic, but at least they keep the author guessing.
I'm not going to write a long list of tips this time, because I have only two:
- During the drafting phase, be as obvious as you can. This will help you remember various aspects of your characters, the scene, or the overall plot that are integral to your story.
- But, when you return to your draft during the editing phase, look specifically for these sections and see how you can either build on the characters' actions or the atmosphere to show rather than tell the parts that need to be more subtle.
