Marvel has more than produced highly successful movies and a television show: they've nurtured a living entity. Their hit TV series, "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" continues to tie into box-office counterparts, as well as offer weekly SHIELD adventures. The brilliance of "Agents of SHIELD" is the elaborate labyrinth which links the films to one another and to the show. The latest episodes related to "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," provides several mind-boggling twists. In fact the most recent entry, "Turn, Turn, Turn," fused a season-spanning plotline following the shadowy "Clairvoyant" with Hydra's infiltration of SHIELD from "The Winter Soldier."
While building a universe, Marvel has fashioned a comic book-like show. As with serials, a continuing tale develops over time through regular installments. Additionally, references to and direct relationships with Marvel's cinematic releases mimic the interconnectivity between comic book heroes. Traditionally there have been crossovers, and no less should be expected from "Agents of SHIELD."
Interestingly, the films and series are self-supporting to a degree that viewers are able to follow one without necessarily requiring the other. Granted, it's increasingly enlightening to watch both, but "Agents of SHIELD" and the movies are reasonably independent. That being said, Joss and Jed Whedon have superbly included cameos from Marvel favorites including Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the Asgardian Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander), and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). "Agents of SHIELD" acts as a behind the scenes glance at these and other beloved characters.
After the latest "Agents of SHIELD" episode, the intersection between the on-going movies and the series is tighter the ever. A crucial revelation regarding the Clairvoyant and hidden Hydra members arrived as not only one of the best shows to date, but one of the greatest TV twists of the year. Appropriately, "Turn, Turn, Turn" is slated to re-air in the usual 8 PM timeslot while the new episode "Providence" will follow at 9. Loving "Agents of SHIELD," or shielding your eyes from the telly? Leave a comment below to spark the discussion!

Kindness from South Carolina
A week ago, a friend that Abbe and I have gotten to know the past few years online contacted me about a running heart monitor that she won in a contest. Since she is not a runner, she asked if I would care for it. Given my family history of heart disease – absolutely. So Natalie was nice enough to put the heart monitor in the mail to me plus one of the sweetest and most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. Natalie lives down in South Carolina, but being a reader of my blog, she knew that Abbe and I LOVE Wasabi. So Natalie called the restaurant and ordered a gift certificate for us, had it mailed to herself so she could include it with the heart monitor and a really sweetly decorated card by her kiddos. Natalie, this was incredibly kind. We really, really appreciate this. This will be a nice night out for Abbe and I, and the kids too! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Funny thing I was just going to make a thread comparing those to these, and the both of them against something like the ranger T that so many of us carry and count on.
Federal Ammunition was awarded the NRA publication Shooting Illustrated's Golden Bullseye award for their premium self-defense Guard Dog expanding full metal jacket ammunition not too long ago. The award is for theAmmunition Product of the Year. And at the very least, this is interesting ammo.
The design is a combination of both hollowpoint and full-metal jacket features. Guard Dog ammunition has a polymer-filled cavity inside the front of the bullet that is constructed similarly to hollowpoints and scored inside to split apart. But the petals are all connected together by a thin jacket over the bullet's tip.
Instead of blooming like flower petals Guard Dog ammo flattens and pancakes, the polymer acting as a mechanical force that pushes the walls of the cavity into an even disk for very predictable expansion. While the overall diameter of the expanded bullet is going to be slightly less than the maximum diameter of a traditional hollowpoint, the polymer also fills the gaps between the petals, greatly increasing the surface area of the flattened bullet point. Behind the hollow cavity is a standard lead-filled bullet base.
Another interesting thing is that these are not +P or even particularly high-energy bullets. Because of the bullets more reliable expansion, Federal did not soup up these cartridges to extremely high pressures (which could be a con from a different perspective) which makes them extremely fast shooters, insuring ease of follow-up.
Also, because they're fully-jacketed, they are much less likely to encounter feeding problems, particularly with older designs that center around lead, ball, or soft-point ammo.
But perhaps the most important thing about Federal's Guard Dog ammunition is that by being a fully-jacketed bullet, it is available for sale in jurisdictions where hollowpoints are restricted or banned. Almost every school of thought regarding self-defense ammunition is that the bullets need to be expanding. But even so, in many places hollowpoints are prohibited, which is why these Guard Dog cartridges are so important. They can go where hollowpoints can't, and are available in the following configurations:
- 9mm 105-grain Expanding FMJ 1230 fps
- .40 S&W 135-grain Expanding FMJ 1200 fps
- .45 ACP 165-grain Expanding FMJ 1140 fps

Commentary - Seven reasons why I appreciate being Air Force Blue

Commentary by Master Sgt. Tanya Preisch
99th Airlift Squadron first sergeant
9/16/2010 -
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md.
-- This year it seems all my peers are retiring. They keep telling me how great it is to finally "punch out." It has me reflecting on my journey in the Air Force and I've got to say, I love being an Airman. I can give you at least seven reasons why I appreciate being Air Force Blue.
7. Family. I can't imagine any other career in the world that supports my family as much as the Air Force. Our daughters have given up sleep, lived through Mom being away for an extended period of time, and deciphered weird acronyms during dinnertime. But in return, the Air Force gives us "Family Days" and squadron parties. Most important to me, my unit supports time off to stay home with a sick child with the 24-hour flu.
6. College student travel. I was stationed in Germany and my firstborn graduated from high school. The military put her on orders and sent her to college along with 250 lbs of her household goods. If that wasn't enough, the Air Force also funded one round-trip visit per fiscal year so that she could visit during Christmas or the summertime.
5. Opportunity. While in Minot, I toured a missile silo. In Korea, I visited the de-militerized zone. During my deployment to Kuwait, I boarded a C-130 Gunship. And probably one of the coolest adventures, I rode on the wing of a U-2 as it taxied down the runway!
4. Personal Trainers. Some people call them Physical Training Leaders (PTLs), but to me, they are my personal trainers. It's no secret I love cake - I consider promotion ceremony cake to be one of my Air Force benefits. So I really need my weekly PT sessions. I may complain about sore muscles, but I appreciate that circuit training. On the outside, I'd be paying them $50 an hour for them to kick my butt.
3. Kid Rock. I saw Kid Rock totally rock out Hanger 1 at Ramstein AB. The USO sponsored him on a tour overseas for all servicemembers. It had been an unusually difficult week for me and watching this unbelievable show lifted my mood more than any beer could have. I've appreciated all the USO sponsored events while overseas.
2. Experience. When I started out in the Air Force, a wide-eyed 21-year-old, I had a guaranteed job as a computer operator. At the time, I was a young stay-at-home mom and had no idea that my future would be so diverse. In one Air Force Specialty Code, I worked on mainframe systems, purchased and distributed computer systems in automatic data processing equipment, issued communication security material for classified missions, managed e-mail accounts, maintained base networks, and then defended the network with intrusion detection tools.
1. Wingmen. If anything, this is the reason my husband and I stay in service. There's a sense of belonging in the Air Force that I don't believe any other job has. We know we have fellow Airmen throughout the world who stand by us when we need them.
So for these few of the things I say, "Thank you Uncle Sam." Each day I find another reason to enjoy coming to work and being part of this great Air Force. I encourage everyone to reflect on what they appreciate about their service. Chances are the achievements outweigh the struggles. I still look forward to my retirement cake, but until then I'm going to keep enjoying the ride!

In five years from now, the revenue for the Wood Varnish Manufacturing industr,y is expected to increase. The marketing of wood varnish is supported and encouraged by the high demand from the construction and manufacturing sectors.
In view of the increasing price of raw materials, profit margins are constrained. Increase in the price of resin was followed by high crude oil prices, at an annualized rate of 3.9% throughout the previous five years. IBISWorld predicts that margins are being reduced to 8.4% in 2012, following decline by 9.6% in 2007. Decrease in profit accounts for the consolidation of certain some industry, as the number of firms reduces at an annualized rate of 4.2% to 109 in the five years to 2012.
There is an average market share concentration within the Wood Varnish Manufacturing industry. Altogether, the four key players possess approximately 43% of industry revenue. Marketing of the key players have an accelerated increase compared to revenue. Major players include Sherwin-Williams, PPG Industries and Masco Corporation. RPM Industries and Valspar also experience significant market shares. The revenue growth has been maintained as these companies possess popular brand names, thereby increasing their industry presence. Major players account for higher market shares due to consolidation within the industry. Considerable demand has been taken over by large manufacturers and suppliers as weak manufacturers quit the industry.

Late Saturday afternoon, my daughter and I were driving home in horrific traffic from a friend's princess birthday party. We had plans to meet my husband and son for pizza, but it was taking so long to get home that I called and told them to go on without us. Pigtail was passed out cold in her carseat anyway.
There's a wreck in Hollywood, my husband warned, that's part of the hold up.
It's fine, I said. We'll grab something to eat at home.
Time consuming traffic snarls are an LA hazard, you'll age yourself into deep wrinkles if you let it bother you. Unless you're late for something very important, it's best to roll with the occasional delays. Sometimes I don't even mind the forced break, the quiet of the car.
As I pulled past the worst of the clogged streets and into my neighborhood, I noticed the police cars. More than seemed necessary for a fender bender and the resulting horns honking. Turning onto my street, another popo, up a few houses another one.
I glanced in the rear view mirror at my sleeping child and wondered if I should call The Gorilla back. My garage door swung open and as I pulled my SUV into the space I saw the door to the house standing open.
Reverse. Right back out of the driveway and into the street, and my daughter stirred herself awake.
I found the closest police car now driving slowing through the hills. We rolled down windows and I calmly asked what was going on and should I be concerned that my door was standing open?
The wreck, she explained. One of the drivers fled the scene on foot. She's somewhere around here.
The pizza joint was sounding mighty appealing right now.
Who's around where? My daughter asked from the back, disoriented.
The two cops followed me back to my house and parked in the middle of the street with their lights going. Was the garage door open when you arrived, they asked?
No, I answered, realizing immediately that it would be impossible for one to enter the house through this door without first entering the closed garage. I felt a little foolish. But I watch Dateline. Weirder things have happened.
We're going to check it out, they said with authority, confirming that no one else was home. I kept Pigtail strapped into the car and chatted with her lightly while ringing her dad.
Oh that was me, The Gorilla said with a mouthful of cheese. I think I left the door open on accident. You called the cops?
Well I didn't call them, I said, wondering why I was the one feeling apologetic, conveniently they were canvassing the neighborhood for a fugitive.
We hung up, and I walked into the house carefully, calling out Excuse Me in my own kitchen. Face to face with a man in uniform in my dining room, I explained what my husband said. Mid sentence, my eyes caught the gun in his hand and I trailed off.
I froze, staring at the hand gun pointed downward at the brown vine-y rug that I hate and hope to replace soon. In case I ever worried that instinct or reflexes would save me in a shocking moment, now I know they would not. I blinked four times in the direction of his hand.
Why don't you wait in the garage, he said nicely.
I backed away and went right back to the car, where Pigtail was closely examining a sticker book from the birthday party. I willed myself to focus on the stickers and not on the possible scenarios going down in my pink living room.
A few minutes later, the two policemen emerged from the house. The pretty female said, You have a beautiful home. There were no firearms in site.
I'm sorry it was sort of messy, I replied. It was the first thing that came to mind.
Always keep your home clean enough for a police raid.
They gave us the all clear and cheerfully suggested we keep on the look out for suspicious looking people roaming the streets.
In Hollywood, suspicious looking people are part of the landscape.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Brett Booth's two-out, two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning propelled the Alabama baseball team to a dramatic, 3-2, win over the No. 17-ranked Mississippi Rebels on Saturday at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. With the victory the Crimson Tide improves to 9-14 on the season and 1-4 in Southeastern Conference play while the Rebels fall to 16-7 (2-3 SEC).
Booth's game-winning home run, his first homer of the season, capped a 1-for-4, two-RBI performance at the plate, helping the Crimson Tide halt a five-game losing streak. The walk-off home run was the first for Alabama since Kent Matthes' walk-off effort versus Nichols State on Feb. 25, 2009. Moreover, it was the Crimson Tide's first game-winning home run since Brett Whitaker's 10th-inning game-winning home run against Mississippi State on April 30, 2011.
"All week we'd been talking about just competing and really having an understanding of what that is at each per bat," UA head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "I thought Brett (Booth) just really showed that in the last at-bat, same with (Josh) Rosecrans, to start the inning. Overall, I'm happy for our team. It's been a tough month and certainly the last week and a half has been a grind. They've continued to work hard and stay at it. I'm happy for those guys and hopefully we can take this win into tomorrow."
UA starting pitcher Justin Kamplain tossed a career-high 7.0 innings, allowing two runs on three hits while tying his career-high with six strikeouts. The freshman left hander pitched six innings of no-hit ball to start the game, allowing the Rebels their first hit in the seventh. Kamplain retired the first 14 batters he faced, before allowing a walk with two outs in the fifth.
Freshman Taylor Guilbeau (2-2) earned the victory for the Tide, pitching a scoreless ninth inning of relief. Guilbeau pitched out of a jam in the ninth, getting Zach Kersley to fly out to left field with the bases loaded. On the day, Alabama pitchers allowed the Rebels just two runs on four hits, the second-lowest tally of the season in both categories for Mississippi.
"Today starts on the mound and Justin Kamplain," Gaspard said. "I thought that was the best start we've had all year, and particularly for any of our freshmen guys that have gone out. You could see that he really slowed the game down today and was able to execute his secondary pitches. That was the plan with Coach Norris; we wanted to pitch backwards, which means we were going to throw a few more breaking balls today. It worked really well against a left-handed dominant lineup with Ole Miss. (Jay) Shaw came in and worked a good inning and then Guilbeau wiggled out there in the ninth inning of a tough spot."
Freshman catcher Ben Moore was 1-for-4 at the plate with one RBI day, while freshman AJ Cole tallied a 1-for-3 effort with a run scored, in his first career start at second base. Josh Rosecrans finished the day 2-for-4, marking the third time Rosecrans has registered two or more hits this season.
Mississippi relief pitcher Brett Huber (0-1) took the loss, after allowing Booth's walk-off home run. Rebel starter R.J. Hively pitched 8.0 innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out eight batters.
Alabama struck first versus the Rebels for the second consecutive game, taking a 1-0 advantage in the bottom of the third inning on Moore's two-out RBI single.
The lead would last all the way to top of the seventh, until Mississippi plated a pair in the frame to take a 2-1 advantage. Rebel second baseman Alex Yarbrough broke up Kamplain's no-hit effort with a single to lead off the inning. Yarbrough came around to score on a one-out, RBI single by catcher Will Allen. Mississippi grabbed the lead later in the frame on Preston Overbey's RBI single, scoring Allen from third.
After a scoreless eighth, Rosecrans led off the ninth with a single to get things started. Brandt Hendricks, who came in to pinch-run for Rosecrans, then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by pinch-hitter Jon Kelton, before later moving to third on a groundout by Cole.
From there, Booth quickly got down 0-2 before battling his way back against Huber, unleashing a 2-2 pitch over the wall in left field to secure the Tide's first SEC win of the season.
The Crimson Tide and Rebels will close out the series on Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m., from Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Alabama will start freshman left-hander John Keller (0-0, 3.38), while Mississippi will counter with sophomore righty Mike Mayers (2-2, 3.34)

"Almost Human" begins playing in Houston at the Alamo Drafthouse Vintage Park location starting on Friday, February 28.
Written, produced, and directed by first time director Joe Begos, "Almost Human" has an extremely short 76 minute duration so it wastes little time jumping right into the midst of something otherworldly. On October 13, 1987 in the town of Patten, Maine, a shaken Seth Hampton (Graham Skipper) tries to warn his best friend Mark Fisher (Josh Ethier) of a blue light that sucked their friend Rob into the sky as a piercing screech left him helpless. But Mark ignores Seth's warning and is sucked into the very same blue light. Two years pass and Seth isn't sleeping. He has visions of Mark returning to Patten and is plagued with nosebleeds. Meanwhile Mark's wife Jen (Vanessa Leigh) is engaged to a new man and has moved on. But the lights begin to flicker and go out just like when Mark disappeared and a series of gruesome murders leave a trail leading straight to Patten. Has Mark returned from supposed death and if so where has he been the past two years?
"Almost Human" is shorter than "Cloverfield" and has around an 8-minute end credit sequence solely to be long enough to be entered into the festival circuit. This may make it seem like the sci-fi horror film is rushed along, but its fast pace is actually fairly comfortable and it fits the film very well. The film draws influences from some of the most respectable cult classics. The opening credits and the film mostly taking place in the middle of the woods gives it a "Friday the 13th" atmosphere while the music seems like the forgotten score John Carpenter never released. As the film progresses, you're immediately reminded of "The Thing" and "Halloween" during the final act. The violent, murderous rampage also has some better than decent yet not quite great gore thanks to its practical makeup effects.
It's difficult to root for Seth though because he's so twitchy. While Jen seems to have forgotten everything that happened the night Mark disappeared, Seth just wants to wake her up to the nightmarish sights and sounds he does remember. He isn't heroic and he doesn't want to save anyone. He just wants his life to go back to normal after Jen told the media that he was behind everything and it ruined his life. In other words, Seth only cares about himself.
There's this entire sequence where Seth doesn't seem to understand anything anyone is telling him. He mutters the phrase, "What's that supposed to mean," several times in less than five minutes. Mark always seems to ask questions without giving anyone a chance to actually answer. He asks a man cutting firewood why he's living in his house before blasting him with a shotgun and thrusting a hatchet into the back of his skull before the poor guy can give an actual answer. Seth is trying to load a rifle while Jen is in trouble. He's rushed and in a panic, but can't seem to get any of the shells into the actual gun. So he just throws the entire supply on the floor. While the film has several positive influences, the other influences aren't so great. "Jason Goes to Hell" is passable since the acting in that sequel is some of the best in the "Friday the 13th" series, but "Almost Human" is a lot like "Dreamcatcher" at the end of the day and that's something no film should try to ride the coattails of.
"Almost Human" would be a decent first film for anyone, but its abrupt ending and familiarities hurt it more than anything else. Nothing is really explained by the end of the film and you're left wondering why aliens have a thing about turning our televisions on, making prank calls, turning the lights on and off, and possess impregnating elongated mouth funnels. While "Almost Human" pays homage to some truly great horror and sci-fi films of the past, it fails to really personify its own identity and it crumbles under the weight of paying too much homage without building its own foundation.

Comparisons of effective carbon prices that different economic sectors face within and across countries are of great economic and political interest. Effective carbon prices arise either explicitly via carbon taxes or emission trading systems, or implicitly, via the abatement incentives embedded in other policies that influence greenhouse gas emissions.
Click to read
The publication Effective Carbon Prices synthesises a number of case studies in selected countries and sectors and finds clear differences in effective carbon prices:
Economic textbooks predict that taxes and emission trading systems are the cheapest way for societies to reduce emissions of CO2. This book shows that this is also the case in the real world due to these instruments' cost effectiveness. Some of the other instrument types are simply not effective in reducing CO2 emissions, so costs measured per tonne of CO2 abated tend to be very high.
Whilst some may argue that "judging" instruments' "performance" in terms of costs per tonne of CO2 abated can be "unfair" for some of the instruments covered, such as insulation of houses of low-income families (given that abating CO2 emissions may not be the main policy objective), carbon abatement has indeed been one of the main arguments used in public debates in favour of the introduction of other instruments with very high effective carbon prices (e.g. measures promoting biofuels and other renewable energy sources).
Individual country results are available for the following countries: Australia, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan.
Multlilingual summaries: English, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
The Policy Perspectives give an overview of recent OECD findings on each of these forms of carbon pricing. It documents the current use of different types of carbon pricing and fossil fuel support, and finally considers carbon prices for different policy approaches that will be needed to reach internationally agreed goals to limit climate change. The overall conclusion is that explicit and implicit carbon prices vary considerably, both within and across countries.
The book builds on the report Carbon Emission Policies in Key Economies (published by the Australian Productivity Commission in 2011), assessing the costs to society of the different policy measures, their (relatively short-term) impacts on carbon emissions, and calculates the costs per unit of CO2 abated. Emission changes are estimated in the latest year for which data are available – normally 2010.
The report by the Productivity Commission covered the effective carbon prices related to electricity generation and road transport in China, Germany, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The OECD has extended the country coverage to include Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, France, South Africa and Spain. It has also expanded the sectoral coverage to include effective carbon prices in the pulp & paper and the cement sectors, as well as in relation to household energy use.

|There's some bluster surrounding The Sun's declaration yesterday that it will rescind its support for the Labour Party and back the Conservatives at the next election.
The Sun's decision has been exacerbated by claims of the PM's speech, and policy proposals outlined therein, being sabotaged by a combative press determined to derail the Labour party's bandwagon.
There is an important dimension to the debate beyond tempers flaring while cameras roll on. That is, the role of the media in politics and in shaping political opinion.
The Independent editorial today remarks on the myth of newspaper's 'winning' elections for politicians. The editorial reads:
'The real influence of newspapers lies not in their hold over the votes of their readers, but in their hold over elected politicians. The architects of New Labour bought into the myth that The Sun effectively decides the outcome of general elections after the surprise Conservative victory in 1992 and have spent immense effort on wooing the newspaper and its proprietor ever since. This grew into a general obsession with the media, with ministers governing with one eye, sometimes two, on the next day's headlines.'
'The truth is that the media has as much power and influence as elected politicians allow it to have: yesterday's agonising over The Sun's editorial line is a clear indication of a government that has given it far too much in recent years.'
The argument is repeated in The Telegraph which, appraising empirical evidence on the causal relationship between newspaper endorsement and electoral outcomes, argues that 'The facts may suggest otherwise, as far as our leaders are concerned, the endorsements of major newspapers still matter.'
For Muslims who, in some British newspapers, are at the receiving end of consistent demonisation, the courting of the press is rather disconcerting. Take, for example, the Sun's political editor, Trevor Kavanagh, and his articles on British Muslims. Or more recently, the Sun's front page splash on Muslims allegedly targetting British Jews during the Gaza war, a story based on fabricated evidence for which the paper was forced to apologise.
The PM stated yesterday, 'it is people who decide elections'. Indeed they do, but when the steady drip of newsprint carps on about unchecked immigration and the separatist Muslim 'enemy within', and these are reiterated in the BNP's own vitriol, might not one reasonably conclude that newspapers do influence opinions even though they may not conclusively influence votes?
The Independent editorial is right to argue that in their relationship with the press, politicians should lead and not be led. They are, after all, elected representatives.

The One Direction Twitter hoax has people shocked and dismayed at what some people might do to meet a celebrity. As social media becomes a medium for people to meet others, it's also a scary way to share information with the wrong individuals. On Wednesday, MTV Buzzworthy reported that Niall Horan shared a selfie that made the fans delighted, but for some reason it also started a Twitter hoax. People have made up accounts pretending to be Niall's parents.
"My brother and Denise are the only ones with twitter so any of you pretending to be my parents! Stop ! It's actually really freaky!" tweeted Niall Horan from his official Twitter account on Wednesday night. The request has thousands of fans shocked as the idea of pretending to be Niall's family to extract information sounds so wrong.
Of course, there are those fans (or maybe it is the gossip magazines) that will do anything for a nugget of information. Looking to find out more details than really is needed, pretending to be someone else is a way to trick a famous person. It could also be a way to try to steal the identity of the celebrity, putting the star's life and money in serious jeopardy.
Hopefully someday in the near future, Twitter will take measures to help stars who have these types of issues. Nobody should be allowed to pretend to be a family member of a celebrity unless that is really who they are!

"It's organic and it's much more fresh, [with] more aroma," explains chef and owner Sunny Ting. Plus, he says of gardening, "I love it. It's therapy — meditate and relax."

Carroll College contracts with a private security company, Securitas, to provide security officers who patrol the campus grounds, buildings and parking lots to safeguard the Carroll community and property. Security officers patrol the campus from 7pm-7am, seven days a week, during the academic year, and on a variable schedule during the semester breaks and summer months. In addition, a parking patrol officer monitors campus parking and roads from 7am-3pm, weekdays. Securitas patrol officers also assist Helena Police at Nelson Stadium for home football games.
Carroll College expects Securitas officers to observe and report any incidents of behavior that violate college policies, federal and state laws, or city ordinances. Patrol officers are expected to document incidents and to identify both witnesses and participants in their incident reports. Securitas officers have the authority to contact Helena Police or Helena Fire for assistance with an incident or to request an ambulance.
Carroll College strives to provide a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. While instances of criminal activity on campus are rare, the college is not immune to crime and cannot assure or guarantee a crime-free living or working environment.
Carroll College promotes a proactive approach to campus safety. The members of this campus community are expected to actively participate in making the college a safe and healthy living and learning environment. Faculty, staff and students are asked to report unusual or unexpected situations to the college.

The college benefits from a community whose members truly care about one another. By watching and remaining alert to our surroundings, we can work to maintain a safe environment and identify dangerous and unsafe practices or facilities. Please contact the Student Life Office in 208 O'Connell Hall, or at 406.447.5457, if you have questions or suggestions regarding campus safety.
In the 2010 Student Life Annual Survey, Carroll students were asked which safe practices have become a part of your life at Carroll College. Respondents were able to check any and all practices. Their responses indicated:
82.9% Lock vehicle doors
82.4% Keep money and keys out of view
69.9% Limit personal information posted on-line
68.2% Use a designated driver whe drinking alcohol
54.9% Lock room doors

The Student Right-To-Know Act, which was renamed The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in 1998, mandates that institutions of higher education publish an annual report which is made available to both current and prospective students and employees of the occurrences of specific crimes on the campus. In addition, the institution must report the number of arrests for liquor law violations, drug use/abuse violations and weapon violations. Click here to read about Carroll College's security and crime reports.
It's true! When a law is broken on campus, the Helena Police Department is contacted. Securitas officers will call the Helena Police to request an officer to come to campus to address violations of law. This includes underage drinking, theft, false fire alarms, and much more.

Is there a tool or command or something that can validate my DNS configuration is functioning correctly? The DNS server is a Win server 2000 and is the primary Domain Controller.
Men & Mice have a tool called DNS Expert that I've used in the past and was impressed by.
It's whole function is to hep you identify problems with your DNS infrastructure, and they have a specific module for AD DNS too.

Since DNS is platform-independent at the protocol level, I wonder if you have a Unix/Linux box somewhere you can run commands on?

Otherwise, you should go through ALL your DNS configuration, and try to draw it up on a piece of paper. Try to do nslookup's both ways, and put down your results on paper, the problem should materialize itself.. :) (some variant of "reverse-sudoku-solving".. :))

In shocking news, a beach hole collapsed and killed a man inside of it. He thought he was just enjoying his vacation while digging a hole, but things didn't turn out well for him at all. On Wednesday, People shared about what happened in Northern California. This man dug a hole that was about 10 foot deep and it was all for fun until things went downhill for him.
This happened at Francis State Beach and the man was standing inside the hole on Monday around 5:30 p.m. Then the sand started to come into the hole and it all started to cave around him. There was nothing that they could do as his friends and other people nearby started to rush over and try to help him. It was too late when they all got there.
It took about five minutes to free his head, but he was under the sand for too long. The man was already unconscious when they got him out of the sand. They were able to pull out the body and tried to open up his airways. There was nothing that could be done for this man though.
They spent about 35 minutes working on the man but he died at the scene. This was a shocking way for this man to pass away and makes people think twice about digging holes on vacation. You have to be careful and remember that the sand can fall in on you if you aren't careful. His hole was 10 feet deep and this is not a size that someone would normally dig. It was at a campground area at the beach.
The man was identified as Adam Pye, 26, of San Lorenzo. He was a young man with a lot of life left before he passed away. ABC News shared that CalFire Coastside Capt. Jonathan Cox explained that the man was unconscious by the time firefighters arrived and it was at Francis State Beach in Half Moon Bay.

GrowLife Inc (OTCMKTS:PHOT), shares saw some light resurgence, closing Wednesday's trading at 0.19, up 0.0580(43.94%). It's a long way from where it was though.
The Woodland Hills, Calif. holding company that supplies equipment for legal marijuana growers has been struggling since it's return to trading late last week. Monday's trading saw no real change, closing at 0.18. Tuesday's trading saw the stock price drop to scary levels between 0.11- 0.12 cents a share. PHOT regained some ground in Wednesday's trading, but it's far from the $0.50 a share it was priced before its temporary suspension earlier this month.
The Securities & Exchange Commission's temporary suspension was because of "... questions that have been raised about the accuracy and adequacy of information in the marketplace and potentially manipulative transactions in PHOT's common stock."
Since then, GrowLife has worked to be more transparent with investors, but the price clearly shows there's more work to be done. From press releases, to open letters, to providing more shareholder support, nothing has managed to move the company's stock price back to where it was before the temporary suspension.
However, business moves on.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the company reported today the creation of stronger governance policies at the Board level, the restructuring of Board compensation and the creation of guiding principles for the long-term growth of the company.
Some of these policies include a new compensation plan for independent Directors on GrowLife's Board. The press release states, "The proposed plan shifts compensation away from historical stock awards, and moves it toward incenting/rewarding independent Directors for overseeing the long-term growth and expansion of the company. Director compensation will become more equitable and in-line with the company's performance."
Other news concerning GrowLife this week includes a lawsuit filed by Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP, which alleges that GrowLife "...provided inaccurate and/or inadequate information about its stock and engaged in potentially manipulative transactions," and "lacked adequate internal and financial controls" leading to what they determined to be "false and misleading at all relevant times."

Smart Grid Spending Powers Ahead in Asia
By Cho Mee-young and Leonora Walet in Reuters, March 8 2010
Japan, South Korea and China are investing about $9 billion this year in infrastructure and information technology to make electricity networks more efficient, creating lucrative opportunities for niche technology and equipment providers.
The "smart grid" system, through computerised monitoring of electricity flowing through a power grid, allows utilities to automatically manage electricity usage in a way that is more reliable and flexible.
Asia's spending on smart grids is expected to outpace the United States, with China alone seen investing $7.3 billion in the sector this year, according to Zpryme, a market research firm based in Austin, Texas.
"China is pursuing smart grid as aggressively or more aggressively than any other country in the world right now," said Brad Gammons, vice-president of IBM's Global Energy & Utilities Industry, told Reuters in an interview.

MEDINA — A 25-year-old Parma man is being held on $1 million bond in Medina County Jail for allegedly injuring a 67-year-old woman during a robbery at her Hinckley Township home last month.
Sean Pack was found when pictures he reportedly took using a stolen cell phone were posted on the victim's Facebook page.
He faces charges, including two counts of aggravated robbery, first-degree felonies; two counts of aggravated burglary, first-degree felonies; and felonious assault, a second-degree felony.
Hinckley Sgt. Dan Huff said Pack entered a State Road home around 11:30 a.m. March 8 through an unlocked garage door. He began rummaging through items and took two computers, an iPad and a phone — "anything he could," Huff said.
The homeowner, who was upstairs and heard rustling, started coming downstairs and found Pack on the stairwell. Once she saw him, she returned to her room and retrieved a handgun.
Huff said Pack apparently wrestled the gun from the woman and broke her wrist and dislocated her knee in the process. Once he had possession of the gun, he left with it and the various other items he gathered, Huff said.
The sergeant said Hinckley police had help from the U.S. Marshal's Violent Fugitive Task Force in finding Pack.
The victim had a setting on her phone that automatically posted pictures taken with it to her Facebook profile and Pack apparently took photos of friends and family.
"Strange pictures were going back to her Facebook account," Huff said.
He said police and U.S. marshals were able to use data from the phone to track down Pack.
"We were ecstatic. Thirty-six hours and we got the guy," Huff said. Pack originally was held on an aggravated burglary charge, but a grand jury approved the additional charges late last month.

© Martin Bryan 1997 from SGML and HTML Explained published by Addison Wesley Longman
This book is dedicated to Yuri Rubinsky, who did so much to make SGML and HTML widely accepted before his untimely death.
This file contains the following parts of Web SGML and HTML 4.0 Explained:
An annex defining adaptations of SGML for use over the Internet was approved by ISO's SGML technical committee on 5th December 1997. Whilst the formal date of publication for this annex is not yet known, SGML and HTML Explained have been updated and this new version of the book has been produced in anticipation of its formal publication. In addition the book has been updated to reference the strict variant of Version 4.0 of the HTML DTD.
Version 1.0 of Jade, which includes support for TeX, was released in September 1997. To obtain a copy of the latest version of Jade contact http://www.jclark.com/jade An experimental version of Jade with support for XML and XSL is also available from this site. James Clarke is currently (December 1997) upgrading the SP parser used by JADE to cover the Web SGML Adaptations.
Version 4.0 of the HTML DTD was made public on 8th July 1997 and became a formally proposed W3C recommendation on 4th November. It is expected to be formally approved on Christmas Eve 1997. When Version 4.0 became a Proposed Recommendation, a strict version of the DTD, which was conformant with Version 2 of the W3C Cascading Style Sheets specification, was made public. In December 1997 ISO announced plans for a standardized subset of HTML 4.0 which has even stricter interpretation than the HTML proposals. These new features are covered in this updated version of my explanation of SGML and HTML.
International Standards come in two flavors. One variety is a useful codification of current practice, providing, for example, an unambiguous definition of a character set for information interchange, as ISO 8859-1 does for the Latin-1 character set. The other category has been aptly described as 'standards imposed by an international body of do-gooders' which, largely as a result of the gestation time of such standards, are found to be largely irrelevant by the time they appear. The Office Document Architecture (ODA) standard is a case in point. The Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML, ISO 8879) is an honourable exception to this rule: in the ten years since it was first published it has revolutionized the handling of information in industry, commerce and government circles. Large quantities of the world's information are now organised with the help of SGML, and the World Wide Web community is at last beginning to realize that treating HTML in its true guise as an SGML application opens up a future for Web publishing divorced from the power games of Microsoft and Netscape.
For a long time the practice of SGML was a black art, known only to a select few. Foremost amongst these gurus is Martin Bryan, whose book SGML: an Author's Guide did much to help the spread of SGML in its early days. This present volume stands as a worthy successor, marking SGML's coming of age and its recognition as a major force both in technical documentation and in the wider world of Web publishing. Attempting to extract the message from the text of an International Standard is masochism of the highest order, and readers who need to understand the precise meaning and significance of ISO 8879 or the HTML 3.2 definition will have cause to be eternally grateful to Martin Bryan for his guidance.

Information is the key to success in our fiercely competitive world: without it most businesses and governments would collapse. As the pace of life increases, the ability to communicate information speedily is becoming an increasingly important ingredient in the success, or failure, of most organizations. The development of a World Wide Web (WWW) of connected computer systems has had a major impact on the speed with which organizations can communicateduring the last decade of the 20th century. This book explains the theoretical background and practical implications of one of the key components of the success of the WWW, the HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
HTML has been formalized according to the rules defined in International Standard 8879, which defines a Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). This book explains the role of SGML and the concepts for controlling computerized document markup that it has introduced; it then explains how these concepts have been utilized in formalizing HTML.
Rather than concentrating on the 'how to' aspects of producing HTML documents, this book concentrates on 'why it was done this way'. By providing a different perspective on the development of HTML, it is hoped that this book will increase awareness of the benefits that SGML brings to computerized information management.
While this book is specifically designed to appeal to those who want to gain a more in-depth understanding of what makes HTML tick, it also serves a more general purpose in teaching the theory behind SGML. As such, it will be a useful reference book for those being introduced to this important information processing language.
One of the best ways to learn any computing language is by example. One of my principal aims, therefore, has been to try to provide a practical example of the use of every concept in SGML, and every markup tag provided in HTML. To avoid making the book too unwieldy, I have deliberately simplified many of the examples.
To provide a more in-depth understanding of the use of HTML the book is supplied on disk in the form of a set of HTML-encoded files, which contain navigable hypertext links within and between chapters. Most WWW document browsers provide facilities for viewing the coding of the source document. By using these facilities to view the way in which the files that make up this book have been encoded, you can get some idea of the way in which HTML documents are typically marked up and learn the advantages provided through electronic corss-referencing, which is much more extensive in the electronic version of the book.
Until recently, document creation using word processors was seen as a separate activity from other computing activities of a company. Today, companies are beginning to realize that document production of all types needs to be tightly coupled with other forms of information capture and management. SGML provides a generalized mechanism for the identification of manageable units of information and the documents that can be produced from them. Many of today's largest document management projects already use SGML to control information flow. This book explains how document components can be identified and stored as a reusable resource by marking up their information elements in SGML.
The WWW has led to an increasing awareness of the benefits of building compound documents by pointing to many different information sources rather than copying data directly into new files. Trying to maintain multiple copies of a piece of data is impossible over any length of time. Only by keeping one master copy of each file, and making a reference to this copy at appropriate points from other documents, can document sets be realistically managed over the lifespan of projects such as that required to build an airliner. Typically, such large capital investment projects involve life cycles measured in terms of decades. To maintain data over such periods using technology that has a lifespan that can be measured in months, rather than years, naturally leads to difficulties. One of the big advantages of SGML is that it encodes documents in a way that can be understood by virtually all computers. This is why HTML-encoded documents can be moved between computer systems without difficulty. This ability to create a document on one platform and then view or edit it on a completely different platform is one of the key aspects to the success of the WWW.
The 21st century could be the first for many centuries for which written records are not available. Unless we can learn to archive our electronic mail, our Internet newsgroup discussions, our videoconferences and our telephone messages in a way that will preserve the data over time, future historians will find it difficult to find out about our activities. It is now, at the start of this age of electronic information dissemination, that we need to take a serious look at how we can preserve our electronic data in an easily understood format. As bodies such as the Association for Computing in the Humanities' Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) has already recognized, SGML and HTML will help to provide an electronic record of the 21st century.

This book would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of my family and friends, or the excellent team of reviewers and copy editors for SGML and HTML Explained that my editor, Nicky McGirr, found for me. I would particularly like to stress the contributions made by David Penfold, who had the hard work of copy editing my bad grammar, and Peter Flynn, David Barron, Gary F. Hasman, Jacques Deseyne and Niel Bradley in reviewing the draft text and making substantial improvements to it. David Barron has added to his long list of kindnesses to me by supplying the foreword.
One of the advantages of electronic files is that you can get to the relevant part of the text simply by double clicking on the relevant title. This means that there is no point in listing the page numbers, as there is no need to break the text into pages on a screen.

I was recently assailed by a friend on Facebook because I went to the movie Heaven is For Real and I endorsed it. Being a person who is trying to find the pure truth of God, I accepted that admonishment with a degree of tolerance. Maybe that person is right. I certainly don't want to go against God's desires just because I am cool with something. The Bible says that a thing might appear right to a man but leads to his destruction. And that false teachers and unsound doctrine would abound in the last days. So I want to be very careful. I also don't want to become paranoid of harmless or perhaps even beneficial things.
Can a 4-year-old boy go to Heaven and come back and tell people about what he saw? I cannot prove it one way or another. This is so true of almost everything dealing with God. We humans are like the students in a classroom taking an open book test. We can discuss the possible answers all we want, but until the teacher tells us what the correct answer is, all we can do is conjecture, study, and argue.
The Old Testament says that no man has ascended to Heaven. Hello. If you're a Christian you know that was true. Nobody could have entered Heaven until Jesus died on the cross and bridged the gap between mankind and the Creator. That begs the question: do people really go to Heaven upon death? Or are they resting in that place where Jesus was when he died, before he ascended to the Father? He told one of the thieves on Calvary that "today you will be with me in Paradise." However a few days later, He told the disciples that he had not yet ascended to his Father. So he was not in Heaven but in Paradise. Jesus said when he came back the bodies would resurrect from the graves and those who belong to him would be caught up in the sky with Him. That seems to indicate they're not in Heaven yet.
So truthfully, I don't stand firm to the fact that Heaven is even populated at this time by human beings. What other evidence do we have to go by? Does the story of the young boy who hugged his sister, who died in the womb at two months of age, talked to his paternal grandfather, and sat in the lap of Jesus testify of the risen savior and of his Father in Heaven? Does that story in some way assist the devil in keeping people in chains of sin?
There was no mention of how people get the right to enter Heaven. Thus there was no objectionable doctrine about everybody goes to Heaven. I could find nothing in this story that gives the devil any traction. I left the theater with my heart soaring. I felt that life is like a school. My loving parent has sent me off for an education. There are lots of bad things that happen at that school and life is not always happy. But when the school day is over, I will go home to the arms of that loving parent who was with me in spirit the whole time as I experienced a temporary existence in that school. I knew that God and Heaven were both for real. My problems and challenges of this present life are the things that are only illusions. Heaven is the real deal.
There are many battles to be fought in Christendom by believers trying to keep God's word pure. We need to choose those battles wisely. Don't waste your time arguing against things that are not clearly anti God and Jesus. What we will do with all of that conflict is turn people off. But never compromise on those issues which are worth fighting for.

A new California law became effective on January 1, 2014 that requires chefs and bartenders to either wear gloves or use tongs when handling food; thus hand contact must be completely avoided for any item going to a plate or a drink glass. Enforcement of the law will begin this July. The author of the law is Assemblyman Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, who is a pediatrician. California has now joined 41 other states that have passed similar legislation.
Since 1993, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended a hands off policy for restaurants and bars as a component of basic hygiene. The FDA notes that thorough hand-washing is not adequate; for example, it only, it takes only a few norovirus particles (norovirus is the most common cause of foodborne illness) to infect diners. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that workers touching food provided the most common transmission pathway for food-originated norovirus outbreaks between 2001 and 2008,
Many healthcare experts note that the new law is a big step in the right direction; however, other measures are needed, such as keeping ill workers out of the kitchen and stressing hand-washing. Major chain restaurants are not affected by the new regulation because they already have policies in place to prevent hand contact with food. However, others are opposed to the policy. Until last year, the California Restaurant Association opposed the bill; however, it ended its opposition when it became aware that it would become a state law.
Interestingly, a petition by bartenders calling for an exemption from the new law garnered 11,000 signatures and caught the attention of Assemblyman Pan, D. As a result, he is currently seeking a revision. He explained that some dining facilities, such as sushi restaurants, could obtain an exception if they supplied evidence that the sushi chefs practiced good hygiene. In explaining his efforts for revision, Assemblyman Pan noted that improving food safety goes beyond wearing gloves, it also requires keeping food surfaces clean of contamination. In addition, gloves can spread disease can spread infection if they are not changed after each use. Experts on food safety note that educating food workers is just as important as implementing new laws.
Take home message:
The "no hands on approach" is a good one; however, some facilities and/or individuals will shun the law and cut corners (e.g., don a single pair of gloves for an entire shift). Of more importance, unless you are a frequent restaurant diner, is to practice good food hygiene at home is how you handle food in your own home. Wash your hands thoroughly before food preparation and thoroughly clean food surfaces between placing new items on them.

I too am at 5 weeks and for the last week have been experiencing cramping and periodic abdominal pain. After an ultrasound the doctor has reassured me that everything is okay and with this being my first child, this can be routine as your body is preparing for many changes! :)posted 11/18/2010 by annabanana1103
I too am in my 5th week and as I was driving into work this morning I couldn't wait to log-in so I could ask this question.

Falling Glass. Out of Service elevators. Years of fighting with the developer to fix deficiencies. Units that look nothing like the plan that was promised. These are just some of the issues Condo Buyers in Toronto face according to recent media reports.
If that's not enough to keep buyers awake at night, it turns out that maybe only scratching the surface.
According to a recent CBC look at the issue "A small but growing chorus is sounding the alarm about the future of these buildings." In fact warnings are being issued about the dark side to our condo boom, just as we plan to expand this form of housing even further.
The CBC reported that " industry insiders warn that as energy costs climb, glass towers may become the "pariah" buildings of the future." Even more concerning to buyers are warnings from building Scientists, such as Dr. John Staube of the University of Waterloo, of the long-term failure of glass structures.
Many of us will buy a condo, the largest purchase of our lives, without really knowing all the facts. How can we protect ourselves?
Does the dark side to the condo boom cry out for better Consumer Protection? Trinity-Spadina MPP Rosario Marchese's answer with an empathic YES!
On February 27, at the monthly meeting of civic engagement group Why Should I Care? (WSIC), Trinity-Spadina MPP Rosario Marchese discusses his proposed Condominium Owners Protection Act. He will share with us why he believes Consumers need protection.
The downtown Toronto MPP has introduced the Condominium Owners Protection Act three times in the last four years and plans to present a revised version again during the upcoming session of the Ontario Legislature. Doing so would reopen the Condo Act for the first time since 1997.
If passed, this legislation would better protect consumers, improve building practices, and create a tribunal to deal with disputes between owners, developers, and property managers.
WSIC's events are free, non-partisan, and held in an inviting, low-key environment. All are welcome to attend, ask questions, and share their ideas through thoughtful discussion. For more information on this and other events by WSIC go to www.whyshouldicare.ca
This event will take place at the Duke of York Pub (39 Prince Arthur Blvd) from 7 to 9 pm

Internship Program
Justice and Corrections
People enter the corrections arena as a result of predicaments such as addiction, poverty, abuse, inadequate education and other contributing factors. Due to this fact, the justice and corrections field of social work not only deals with the punishment aspect of the judiciary system, but also focuses on rehabilitation. A major role social worker's take in this field is being a probation and parole officer. In this role, they provide counseling on job training, addiction treatment, remedial classes, life skills and basic competencies. Social workers also testify in court as expert witnesses, make recommendations to judges, and work closely with their client's attorneys.

by Judith Malafronte, Opera News
Regional opera is flourishing in northern New England if PORTopera's sizzling production of Bizet's Carmen (seen on July 29) is indicative. Dona D. Vaughn's traditional staging - earthy, energetic, and loaded with passion and violence - received three performances in Portland, Maine's Merrill Auditorium. Renovations in 1997 turned this 1900-seat theater into a visual and acoustic treasure, and packed audiences welcomed Carmen enthusiastically.
Strong dramatic values and believable relationships characterized this production, with Vaughn drawing powerful performances from the leads and from Judith Quimby Bible's chorus. The variety of ages and physical types in the ensemble lent a refreshing realism to the crowds of soldiers, townspeople, gypsies and smugglers, while the cigarette girls threw themselves at each other, fighting, biting, screaming and slugging with real gusto. Conductor Stephen Lord kept the musical temperature high as well and coaxed his uneven orchestral forces into some beautifully lyric playing.
Mezzo-soprano Kate Aldrich has all the elements of the Carmen package - movie-star beauty, dancer body and sensational voice - in a combo with "star" stamped all over it. Her Carmen was alluring, moody, free-spirited and temperamental without physical or vocal vulgarity. With Aldrich's full and unforced chest voice, it was a pleasure to hear Carmen's music sung with even and velvety richness throughout the range.
Richard Troxell's Don Jose was slightly taxed vocally, and Lord assisted with fleet and fluid tempos for much of his music, allowing Troxell's affecting timbre and high-level musicianship to come to the fore. This Jose was unusually strong and well defined dramatically, startling Carmen with his genuine love ("La fleur que tu m' avais jetee" was intimate and intense) and returning in Act IV a shell of a man, ominously quiet and eventually explosive. The final duet was terrifyingly violent, a knockdown battle of wills as a nearly insane Jose dragged the writhing and kicking Carmen across the stage by her hair.
As Micaela, Sandra Lopez sang without much finesse until her Act III aria, but the voice is striking, with Puccinian thrust and metal. Franco Pomponi's Escamillo was a preening and greasy showman, all snappy elegance, if a bit thin vocally at the bottom of his range. Jeffrey Wells, in splendid voice, was a delightfully worldly and nonchalant Zuniga.
Workaday sets, from Binghamton, New York's Tri-Cities Opera, were the only indication that this Carmen was not part of a major repertory house.

Roberto on Extensibility and Modularity in JavaEE 6
By pelegri on Mar 19, 2008
Last month Roberto asked for Feedback on Java EE 6 Profiles. He sure got feedback: 19 comments! in his poll, 700 votes on the Java.Net Poll and threads at TSS and at InfoQ.
Roberto now has written a follow-up on Extensibility and Modularity. He defines the terms (Extensibity is when technologies are added by the App writer, Modularity when its done by the Container), how they are standarized in JavaEE 6 (like Servet 3.0 extensibility and profiles) and how they will apply in the case of a modular server like GlassFish v3.
Very pleased to see more public discussion on specifications targeted to Java EE 6. Check Related Entries at TA and elsewhere (like Roberto's JavaPolis talk), and stay tuned for more.

Mandy (simply solids) and I have just driven back from the FQ London retreat 2012 all the way to our little village in the midlands. I drove, she navigated, the twins chattered and Mandy read me tweets and blogposts on her phone all the way home. And they made us cry. After all our wonderful, fabulous attendees left last night, we all sat down and had a really good cry. Because it was the best weekend ever and we loved every single moment of it.
More posts will follow. More pics will follow. But for now, I just want to get the linky party up and running so that we don't miss a single post. And please make sure you upload every single one of your photos to the Flickr group so we can head over there and start crying all over again. For now I will leave you with a snapshot stolen from the Flickr photostream of Rachel Contented Be of the main hall at some point over the weekend. It was the best weekend in the whole wide world ever and I am missing everyone who was there horribly.
Join the linky (or, as Sue Bone called it "the kinky party" down below) and let us know how you got on at FQ London 2012!

Saluki Invitational MVP Alysia Mayes
SIU vs. UALR Box Score | Photo Gallery
SIU vs. UT Martin Box Score | Photo Gallery
By Robin Thuringer
CARBONDALE, Ill.-- The Southern Illinois University volleyball team topped the University of Arkansas-Little Rock and UT Martin Saturday at the SIU Arena to close out the Saluki Invitational undefeated.
Alysia Mayes was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player while teammates Laura Thole and Jessica Whitehead were All-Tournament team selections.
This win marks the eighth consecutive for Southern who has not lost in 14 sets of play. The Salukis defeated all their opponents this weekend in three sets.
SIU 3, UT Martin 0
The first set of the match posed the most difficulty for Southern. UT Martin was aggressive on their attack keeping pace with Southern's quickness.
"We knew coming into this match we were going to have to handle the small opportunities at a really high level and to try to convert that into points," said SIU head coach Justin Ingram. "It took a while to get that groove and get our confidence back."
Alysia Mayes carried the team through the back-and-fourth match that saw the score tied ten times. The senior recorded six kills on eight attempts to post a .750 hitting clip. The Salukis were able to hold onto the set to win 25-23 on a game-point service ace from Laura Thole.
Southern came back to the second set with a new rhythm dismantling the Skyhawks outhitting them .338 to .122. Elly Braaten was on point with her serving making it back to the line seven consecutive times. Laura Thole and Alysia Mayescapitalized on the drive trading off kills to put away UT Martin 25-11.
"Midway through that second set we saw a momentum shift and with that there was a nice point spread created," said Ingram. "Elly Braatenplaced pressure on the team and that put us a few points ahead and that really built confidence for the team."
UT Martin tried to test the Salukis in the final set. The Skyhawks combated SIU with late kills to come within striking distance allowing SIU only a two-point lead (22-20). Alysia Mayesknocked in a kill off the assist from Rachael Brown to extend the lead. UT Martin committed two final errors to grant Southern the three-set win.
Southern Illinois and UALR battled in the first set of the match trading points. SIU defended the net never letting the Trojans take a lead. The Salukis began to pull away but UALR took a late rally to pull within one point at set point. SIU held on for a 25-23 win.
The Salukis offense shined again the in the second set. UALR broke out right away scoring four consecutive points. The Salukis responded going on a 5-0 run off the serve of Bailey Yeager. SIU controlled the rest of the set downing the Trojans 25-16.
The two teams were neck and neck in the beginning of the third set but errors inevitably doomed UALR allowing the Salukis to put away the Trojans quickly with a final of 25-13.
SIU showed versatility with three Salukis recording double-digit kills. Alysia Mayes led the Saluki attack with 13 kills on 21 attempts. Laura Thole knocked down 14 kills and junior Jessica Whitehead nabbed 12. MVC Freshman of the Week Taylor Pippenadded six on 12 attempts for an impressive hitting efficiency of .500.
Sophomore setter Amy Drabantaided the offensive attack recording 42 assists for SIU.
"This tournament was a good outing for us," said Ingram. "We feel good about our performance from start to end and are going to continue to work hard to keep it going."
The Salukis will return to Davies Gym Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. to continue their home stand hosting the Redhawks of Southeast Missouri State.
