Help in IJ:ATET
I need a save file for the part right after the big croc. I CANNOT get by him.
I don't have a save right after that, but all you have to do is wait till he swims around to the other side of the cavern. You may have to throw a skull over in that general direction. Now jump in the water and swim into the smaller cavern off to the left. Get out of the water and wait for the crocodile to come in after you. Now run around and jump across the gap over the water and pull the switch by the gates. This will trap him for a bit...but you shouldn't have to worry about him for a while yet...
I had a lot of trouble getting past him, but I finally did it. You just need to keep trying and not give up.:D
Well..uhh...I have tried of 40 times now....and well...thats why I asked fof a save.
I'll work on that sometime tonight. I'll start a new game, get past it, and give it to you, ok? But keep trying anyways.
You gonna send it? I have no mail...
Keep your pants on...I'm sending it now. You know I went though a lot for you. I had to beat the whole first part again.:D
You're going to miss a cutscene so here it is.
EDIT: Sent it. Should be there soon.
On the part with a LOT of chains you swing on, I need help there.

Update (March 2016): Keramat Habib Nuh, the mosque of Haji Muhammad Salleh, and Kampung Sambau / "Malay Town" will be discussed in an upcoming Singapura Stories Seminar:
Seminar Seven: A forgotten multi-ethnic settlement: Palmer Rd, Tg Malang & Kg Sambau
Wednesday Mar 23, 2016
Possibility Room (Level 5), National Library, Singapore
Hope to see you there!
Kampung Sambau / Malay Town – the 19th century context
Kampung Sambau began as a fishing village largely inhabited by Malay fishermen who came from adjacent islands as well as Melaka Malays whose catches were in demand for the fledgling population of early 19th century Singapore Town's earliest years, when food supply was still limited.
The settlement grew in size and importance, however, and was noted in maps of 1822, 1827, 1842, to 1870 as "Malay Town", which would have been a multi-ethnic district that also encompassed the old Hakka temple Fook Tet Soo right next door. By the turn of the century Malay Town/Kg Sambau also boasted a Matba'ah Melayu, or Malay Press which was a lithographic printing company. This Malay Town/Kampung Sambau/Palmer Rd area was bounded by what is presently Anson Road, Trafalgar Street and a part of South Quay.
Two Muslim landmarks
Some sense of the cosmopolitan history of this area can be gleaned from the following two individuals behind the two Muslim landmarks that survive in this Town: the shrine at the hill summit, and the old mosque at the foot of the hill. These two buildings are often confused. Let us look at each individual and their associated building in turn.
Habib Noh, and the hilltop mausoleum – the Penang Hadhrami holy man's keramat
Sayyid Noh bin Sayyid Mohamad (bin Sayyid Ahmad Al-Habshi) is one of Singapore's pioneers. He arrived in Singapore around 1819 at the age of 31 and was believed to have stayed at Kampung Khaji (Bussorah Street in Kampung Gelam town facing Sultan Mosque), the centre for religious studies and an important centre for the Javanese-Muslim printing industry in Singapore, for the next 47 years or so. Popularly known as known as Habib Noh, he is regarded as one of the seven wali (saint) in Singapore.
Habib Noh frequented a hillock at Tanjung Malang (Reef Promontory) near Mount Palmer (most sources state the hill is Mount Palmer – this is incorrect) to pray in seclusion. As noted above, this area was noted as "Malay Town" in British maps produced from actual surveys from the 1820s to 1870. A close friend of his, Haji Muhammad Salleh (see below), intended to build a surau (small prayer hall) there for him to pray in ease. However Habib Noh passed away before his wish was fulfilled on 27th July 1866 (14 Rabiulawal 1283 H).
Habib Noh was a direct descendant (source: The Grand Saint of Singapore) of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and was a Hadhrami Arab (from Hadhramaut, a valley region in present day Yemen) — but he was from a family of Nusantara-domiciled Arabs. He was born in 1788 enroute to Penang from Palembang. He was revered as a holy man who performed miracles, and was highly respected for his acts of kindness by a great many members of Singapore's community then (and today), Muslim and non-Muslim alike, who knew him while he was still alive and who, after his death (which was reported in the English newspapers of the then-British colony of Singapore), would visit his mausoleum for supplication or seek his blessings. This practice and his reputation lives on.
The mausoleum (Makam Habib Nuh / Keramat Habib Nuh) has been under the custodianship of a member of the Alsagoff family (Hadhrami dialect pronunciation of the classical Arabic Al-Saqqaf) since Habib Noh's passing in 1866. The present hilltop mausoleum building was first begun in 1890 by Syed Mohamad bin Ahmad Alsagoff (Nongchik), the son-in-law of the famous Bugis Melaka merchant Hajjah Fatimah (d. c.1890s), whose mosque (first built c.1840) still stands at Java Road, Kampung Rochor, Singapore's erstwhile Bugis Town.
Haji Muhammad Salleh – the Betawi Malay trader and a friend of Habib Nuh and the mosque at the foot of the hillock
Among the residents of Kampung Sambau was a trader from Batavia (Jakarta), Haji Muhammad Salleh. As noted earlier, Haji Muhammad Salleh was a friend of Habib Nuh, and as a devoted Muslim of means he donated a piece of land at the foot of the hillock where Habib Noh once prayed in seclusion (later known as Bukit Kramat) and where Habib Noh was subsequently buried, where stands the shrine/mausoleum complex today. The existing surau (small prayer hall) which faced the shrine was demolished and replaced with a larger mosque to cater to the shrine's visitors in 21st April 1902**. The mosque was named Haji Muhammad Salleh Mosque and construction was only fully completed in 1903.
Haji Muhammad Salleh Mosque was a small mosque that catered to up to 200 Muslims living in the vicinity of Kampung Sambau.
The area soon developed and saw workers around the area like police personnel, harbour staff (from PSA Tanjong Pagar and Keppel) and customs men (from Customs Operation Command), in addition to the shrine's visitors, attending daily prayers and congregations at the mosque.
The mosque was enlarged accordingly in the early 1950s and 1960s to enable it to accommodate approximately 200-250 people**. The funds came in the form of donations by residents and well-wishers. The renovation work carried out by the mosque trustees, namely Almarhum Tuan Akbar Khan and Tuan Haji Hajar Aswad, whose wives are direct descendants of Almarhum Tuan Haji Muhammad Salleh**.
In 1987, MUIS upgraded the mosque at cost of $1 million*. The upgrading was undertaken following a decision by the authorities not to demolish the mosque to give way to the construction of the AYE/ECP expressway, but to curve the expressway around it. The new mosque was designed with a prayer space to accommodate 500 worshippers.
Urbanisation plans called for people residing in the area to be resettled. While the mosque and shrine remained, the surrounding area was completely transformed with high-rise buildings of Shenton Way and Tanjong Pagar, as well as the expressways AYE/ECP.
Extensions carried out around the mosque include additional 2nd level at the rear with a makeshift prayer space, office and meeting room. The mausoleum was entirely tiled in green mosaic, giving it its distinctive appearance today.
The main prayer hall retains the 6 distinctive mock-Corinthian columns till today:
In 2008, a ladder was built from the 1st floor as a 'saf connector' to enable the roof terrace beside the mausoleum to be utilised as additional prayer space.
This mosque which was designed to accommodate 500 worshippers back in 1987, now attracts more than 1200 worshipers* for Friday and Eid prayers. Tents need to be erected as makeshift roofs over the roof terrace during these occasions. For the haul (death anniversary) of Habib Noh, happening on the last day of the month Rabi ul-Akhir, the mausoleum (and subsequently the mosque) can attract more than 8000 visitors*.
As of Nov 2012, the mosque declared its intention to embark on another phase of upgrading and is appealing for generous donations and contributions. For more details, visit the mosque's official website.
Update 13 Feb 2015:
The Mosque's appeal for contributions to its refurbishment has made it into The Straits Times. Also noteworthy is the mention that the mosque committee hopes that the mosque (and mausoleum) should be considered for heritage protection through gazetting. I could not agree more. However, we should note the distinction between the two buildings (foothill mosque and hilltop mausoleum*) – the two seem to be conflated in the article.
Besides the mosque and the mausoleum, there is a very old Hakka Temple opposite (Fook Tet Soo) which, like Masjid Haji Muhd Salleh, is a small, unassuming building. This building is also not protected. Together with the legacy of the Parsi Lodge, this Malay Town/Palmer Road area is a very significant multi-ethnic, multi-religious and historically important site (including that of a forgotten Malay community here) that has yet to be properly acknowledged by the authorities, and is therefore constantly under threat.

A note on the idea of a "Palmer Road Conservation Area":
In 2004, Assoc Prof Dr Johannes Widodo of the Dept of Architecture, NUS wrote on the importance of a larger area encompassing the mosque and mausoleum, the Hakka temple, Mount Palmer, and Cursetjee Hill. See article "Preserving the Memory of Place: Case for Support for Palmer Road Area Conservation in Singapore" .
A note regarding Fook Tet Soo archaeological dig:
In 2006 an archaeological team led by Dr Lim Chen Sian (NUS, Dept of Southeast Asian Studies) conducted surface excavations of the area around the Fook Tet Soo Hakka temple just opposite the mausoleum and mosque, at the instigation of the temple leadership. See the article and the report.
The article on this project acknowledged Mr. Chen Po Seng (Ying Fo Fui Kun), Mr. Ng Ching Huei (Singapore History Museum), Dr. Johannes Widodo, Dr. Lai Chee Kien, and Mr. Yeo Kang Shua (Department of Architecture National University of Singapore). It is hoped that such attention to history can be extended to the larger area incorporating the mosque and mausoleum. The temple remains unprotected.

A "healthy alternative" to sizzurp? Or capitalizing on the exploding cannabis market?
A Southern California company released Grape Syzurp with Cannabinoids this week, delivering slick-looking bottles of the "medicated syrup" to medical marijuana dispensaries in the LA area.
The syrup does not contain any codeine, the main ingredient in the drug cocktail known as sizzurp or lean. Actabliss, the company behind the new dank drank, claims that they are offering it as a "healthy alternative" to lean. The company's founder, who goes by the name Actaboss, was quoted in LA Weekly as saying, "A lot of people who say they want to stop drinking lean are purchasing it. A whole group of people realize it's good medicine and it works for them."
Of course marijuana is good medicine, and it works for millions of people around the globe. Grape Syzurp with Cannabinoids is stirring up controversy not because it's a medical pot product, but because it seems to be celebrating a drug that is dangerous and has killed people. Rapper L'il Wayne had a nasty addiction to lean that almost killed him.
The gooey Actabliss syrup costs 45 bucks a bottle. The company is currently working on new flavors, and is considering concocting a THC-free version to ship out of state. Sounds like they've identified a money-making niche in the medical marijuana market.

Joseph Vasquez lead a troubled life from being born the son of two drug-addicted parents to losing his father to heroin and then struggling from the heights of joy to the very depths of depression as an undiagnosed manic-depressive - until 1994. Despite his difficulties, he achieved success with his movies 'The Bronx War' (1991) and the acclaimed New Line Cinema production of 'Hangin' with the Homeboys' (Sundance Film Festival Best Screenwriting Award 1991). He died from complications of AIDS on December 16, 1995, but before he passed, he'd written a script that seemed to manifest his deepest desire for the love and comfort of family; The House That Jack Built. His friend, and producer, Michael Lieber, promised Vasquez that he'd complete the work he'd begun, and now that film is making a splash at film festivals around America. (Winner of the Audience Award and Best Director at the Queens World Film Festival 2014)
Lieber, a native New Yorker with more years of experience in the film industry than he'd care to count, met Vasquez after seeing 'Hangin' with the Homeboys'. Both lived in Los Angeles at the time, and they hit it off and began working together. "Joe had an idea for a film. This (The House That Jack Built) was the idea, and he shared it with me. I developed it with him, but he wrote it."
Lieber continues "around the time we were working on The House That Jack Built, he had a real, a real Bi-polar psychotic episode, and with this began the unraveling of his life."
Both Lieber and Vasquez grew up in the South Bronx so they had that in common. He shares that Vasquez's father was Puerto Rican and Caucasian and his mother was African-American. "They were both, I gather, real characters. She was like a young Billie Holiday, very alluring. He was this, you know, good-looking Latin stud from the South Bronx. They got together, they got married, they both became junkies."
After Vasquez's father died from a heroin overdose, his mother was shunned by her deceased husband's family out of racial prejudices that surfaced over interracial couples at that time. "Joe grew up with his grandmother…he never did drugs because heroin really took a tremendous toll on his family, and left him without parents, but he had a sense of a really f***d up family, and said to himself 'I don't want to be f***d up that way'. This kind of forms the background and fantasy of The House That Jack Built."
The movie which is so well done that it defies logic that it was shot in 18 days on a budget of $130,000, has an all-Latino cast starring E.J. Bonilla (Guiding Light, The Mortician) as Jack, a young man who owns a bodega that fronts for his marijuana dealing, and Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn 99, Gossip Girl) as his fiancé, Lily.
Jack makes enough money to purchase a brownstone apartment building and moves his whole family in; mom and dad, grandmother, brother, sister, and cousins. His heart is in the right place, but as family inevitably argues, and does their own thing which Jack may not agree with, he finds that he tries to control them all and continually interferes with their lives. As his family begins to fall apart, so does his 'business' as another drug dealer moves onto his block causing problem of a potentially deadly nature. His two worlds collide in spectacular fashion that is emotionally gut-wrenching. Jack must learn to let go of those things he cannot change, and to appreciate what he has even if it's not exactly as he envisioned. In order for him to realize the life of his dreams, that life must first be destroyed before it can be rebuilt upon a stronger foundation of love and understanding, acceptance and trust.
Official Trailer for The House That Jack Built
The character of Jack is masterfully portrayed by Bonilla. Despite being a small time drug dealer, he is responsible and loving even if cocky and bullheaded. His intentions are good as he seeks only to protect those he loves. Jack's greatest difficulty is in letting his fiancé in on all he does because he fears both her censure and losing her. Out of fear, he pushes her away only to realize that he can't live without her, doesn't want to lose her.
Some comic relief is found in this emotional film in the form of Jack's father, Carlos, played by Broadway stage actor John Herrera. Carlos drinks too much, fights with his mother-in-law, and argues with his wife all because he feels that Martha (played by Saundra Santiago) no longer notices him unless he's drunk. In one scene, Carlos stumbles out of the bathroom in Jack's apartment – naked – shocking Lily and embarrassing Jack. Lily leaves quickly and as Jack looks at his father with disgust, Carlos slurs "What? She never seen a naked man before?"
The lighter moments are few and far between as this movie takes the audience on a dramatic, emotional roller-coaster ride. It may have taken 19 years for the stars to align, the cast and crew to come together, but it was worth the wait. Directed by Henry Barrial (PIG, True Love, Some Body Some Body), and produced by Michael Lieber, Mark Stolaroff, Hitesh Patel, and Sam Kitt, The House That Jack Built is a must-see.
Upcoming screenings include the Phoenix Film Festival on April 4th, and Hispanicize in Miami also on April 4th, 2014. Check for more screenings here.

Nokia, Xerox Beat Estimates Handily
Two old technology hands are giving the market a little boost this morning.
Nokia's shares are surging more than 8% higher after it smashed consensus estimates with its third-quarter results. Nokia's been making handsets for so long, that it is kind of considered an old school technology company. And like any such company, part of the excitement stems from some austerity: 1,800 job cuts and some "reorganizing" of functions.
My Dow Jones colleagues point out that an analyst at Redeye says that Nokia "shares have been falling for many quarters, and some investors see the strong report as a sign that worst may now be over for Nokia." Nokia also raised sales guidance for the fourth quarter.
Nokia's battle is with some of the biggest tech titans. Apple's iPhone has become a dominant player. And other phones have adopted Google's Android or Microsoft's Windows 7 for phones operating systems. Nokia is betting that its Symbian platform will give it an edge.
Xerox, which invented a bunch of things (mouse, graphical user interface, etc.) and didn't do much with them is truly an old tech company. My uncle famously bought their shares before I was born, at least famously in our family lore.
The document company is finding its way in this hyper-tech age, at least according to its recent figures. Third-quarter profit more than doubled and top-line growth also jumped 48%. The results beat expectations and, like Nokia, Xerox raised its forward earnings guidance. Shares aren't yet doing much pre-open – such is the plight of truly old tech.

Minutemen Split Pair Against George Washington
March 29, 2002
Game One Box Score
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts baseball team split a double header with Atlantic 10 foe George Washington here at Earl Lorden Field on Friday afternoon. The Minutemen claimed the first game 5-4 before falling in the second 13-6. With the split, UMass moves its record to 7-11 overall, 1-4 in A-10 play. The Colonials are now 13-12, 3-2 in conference play.
In the first game of the day, senior righthander Jesse Santos (Chelmsford, Mass.) went the distance for the Minutemen, tying a career-high with 10 strikeouts. He allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks in the seven-inning contest.
After George Washington scored the first run of the afternoon to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, UMass quickly jumped on GW starter Greg Conden. Sophomore shortstop Mike Athas (Holyoke, Mass.) evened the score with a leadoff homer, his second home run of the season. Later in the frame, junior catcher Chris Morgan (Cranston, R.I.) singled up the middle to drive in a pair of Minutemen and give UMass a 3-1 advantage.
In the third, UMass scored again as second baseman Adam Stojanowski (West Roxbury, Mass.) singled home center fielder Mike Kulak (Bristol, Conn.) to make the score 4-1. After George Washington picked up a run in the top of the fifth, the Minutemen tallied another run on Kulak's bunt single on a squeeze play that scored junior Jeff Altieri (Whitinsville, Mass.).
George Washington would score a run in each of the last two innings, including a towering blast off the bat of Matt Krimmel in the top of the seventh, but Santos pitched through the threat, picking up his third win of the season.
In the second game of the twinbill, UMass scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the first to take the early lead. After a leadoff single from freshman Derrick Durepo (Ware, Mass.), GW starter David Rodriguez overthrew his first baseman on a Mike Athas (Holyoke, Mass.) sacrifice bunt. Durepo raced around to score while Athas ended up on third after the play. Athas would score later in the inning on another error to make the score 2-0.
George Washington would explode in the third, scoring five times on three home runs off Minuteman starter Keith Doherty (Quincy, Mass.). The Minutemen would respond with a run in the bottom of the frame as senior captain Aaron Senez (Springfield, Mass.) blasted his second home run of the season over the centerfield fence.
The Colonials would add a single run in the top of the fourth, then broke the 6-4 game wide open with five scores in the sixth, scoring all their runs a solo homer by Matt Krimmel and a grand slam by Joe Michalski.
The Minutemen and Colonials will meet in the final game of the three-game set on Saturday. Game time is set for 12:00 noon.

Bars all around Louisville are throwing amazing drink specials like dollar drinks on Monday's and Thursday, $2 wells and other great deals. Head over to Phoenix Hill and catch a great indie band or down to Bearnos for open mic on Wednesday and $2 drafts.
- Don't ditch the books with your winter wardrobe. As temperatures climb, grades tend to fall. The better the weather, the less anyone wants to be stuck inside with their face in the books. The semester is already over half over guys! You've reached the point of no return so stay focused for these last few weeks and this summer is sure to be a glorious vacation!

Source: Kristen Stewart Drops Out of Cali (EXCLUSIVE)
Kristen Stewart is dropping out of the upcoming movie Cali, a source exclusively tells Gossip Cop.
We've reached out for a comment from the actress' camp, but have not heard back.
Gossip Cop is told that Amber Heard has been asked to join the cast, although it's not confirmed whether she'd be taking the part.
Heard's rep would not comment.
The film, with Alex Pettyfer set to play the male lead, will be directed by Nick Cassavetes and revolves around lovers who sell a fake snuff film and run away, only to return to Los Angeles years later to rescue the woman's younger sister from bad guys.
We're checking to confirm whether Stewart, reportedly a producer on the film, is still involved in that capacity.
Gossip Cop also reached out to Voltage Productions, the company behind Cali.
Voltage declined to confirm Stewart's status, but oddly noted that an announcement would be made soon.
Gossip Cop will continue to track the story and have updates.

Kirstin Arndts work deals with the possibilities of being in time and space. She is interested in the fruition of the image/picture. Her works are temporary statements of analysis and research about different aspects of the entity of artworks. Arndt uses a wide variety of materials in her work usually reminiscent of construction materials and uses their form, colour, shape and texture to create boldly dramatic installations and compositions that display a sophisticated knowledge of line, surface, volume, space and time. Arndt divided her residency in two, initially coming during the month of November 2005 for a research visit and returning in 2006 to complete her stay at IMMA.

The Better Business Bureau has been a longstanding proponent of consumer protection. Almost everyone has heard of them at one point or another and some people may have even used their complaint process, except perhaps for PC parts. NGOHQ was idly searching through the BBB website and happened to search for nVIDIA, who as it turns out is rated an "F". As you might think, the "F" rating implies some rather dirty pool being played on nVIDIA's part. Amuse yourse

While Gamepyre may not remember the name Jagged Alliance, the game had enough impact to give a sense of deja vu when confronted with Hired Guns - The Jagged Edge. For those that are familiar with that ageing series and the successful mods like Urban Chaos, Hired Guns offers an end to a very long wait for Strategy First to work on Jagged Alliance 3. If you have no idea what these games are, you may not be a fan of turn based tactical squad combat and are probably happy to see Fallout turn into an FPS. On the other hand, if you enjoy micromanaging a squad or sqauds into taking
Tecch a new dog old tricks
Subject: General Tech | February 4, 2009 - 05:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
There is a handy little trick that Windows 7 beta testers have been using fairly reliably that makes beta testing the new OS a lot more interesting. If you are installing a driver for a system component and 7 presents you with compatibility errors, simply right click on the .exe file and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility".
That brings up a wizard that you can go through to tell 7 to install the driver in Vista compatibility mode
and you are ready to go. You can see picture

Sometimes it is important to show off a little, and a nice monitor and mouse only go so far if you are using a nasty off-white keyboard. The Razer Lycosa Mirror will help solve that problem, it's shiny finish and backlighting will look at home paired with any gaming mouse and widescreen LCD. If you are the type that likes things to look good as well as sport a few extras
What to do after you've killed the NIC
Subject: General Tech | February 3, 2009 - 05:03 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Bigfoot Networks was big news about a year ago with the release of their 2 Killer NIC cards, designed to provide superior online gaming by eliminating lag, as well as some other specific settings and options. While there was at least some benefit to using the cards, it was hard to justify spending $150 or so to see a tiny improvement to the NIC built into your motherboard. They have been busy, trying to get their cards into boutique system builds, like Alienware, but we haven't seen anything new from them. Th
Windows 7: Security in Question
Subject: General Tech | February 2, 2009 - 05:06 PM | Ryan Shrout
While I first saw this information posted on Leo Laporte's blog last week, Dailytech has a good write up on the issue and a response from Microsoft on a possible issue that leaves UAC in state that is less secure than some people would like. The person who details the attack issue even claims that this should vindicate the security in Windows Vista.

Usually when you are looking for recommendations on security software like anti-virus, you ask those in the know to tell you their favourites. You can also gain a lot by asking them which are the worst anti-virus programs, to build a list of software to avoid, just like in this thread. 27 years after the inception, the problem just keeps going like some sort of infected Energizer Bunny.
Intel seems to be getting bored
Subject: General Tech | January 30, 2009 - 04:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
AMD hasn't been holding up their end of the fight recently, and as they can't manage to pick up nVIDIA, Intel has decided to take on any comers. The recent battleground has been to make the smallest possible system, a special niche that was the exclusive territory of VIA. That hasn't stopped Intel's Atom smashing into the market and making the netbook popular. Now they are setting their sights on Microsoft and the Linux community by developing Moblin, their own mobile OS.

Following the link [H]ard|OCP will bring you to the Bugtraq page and a proof of concept for the vulnerability. Unfortunately, the link does not lead to a solution or workaround, Google is still working on that.

Brian's exclusive forecast for Baltimore, Annapolis, and northern Delmarva:
Overnight: Variable cloudiness and not as cold with a low around 30.
Sunday: Clouds and sun with increasing clouds during the afternoon along with a chance of rain showers. Highs near 40 across northern Maryland to near 60 across southern Maryland.
Sunday Night: Rain developing, then mixing with sleet and snow. Precipitation changing to snow around sunrise. Temperatures falling to near freezing.
Monday: Snow, heavy at times. Snow may accumulate 5 to 10 inches. Very windy and cold with temperatures falling through the 20s. Winds gusting over 20 miles per hour at times.
Monday Night: A few flurries early, then clearing and unseasonably cold with a low around 5.
The extended forecast calls for sunshine on Tuesday with a low around 5 and a high in the upper 20s. Mostly sunny on Wednesday with a low in the upper 10s and a high near 32. Clouds and sun on Thursday with a low in the lower 20s and a high in the upper 30s. Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain and snow on Friday. The low will be in the mid 20s and the high will be near 40.
Today is the first day of meteorological spring, but morning temperatures made it feel as though we are in the depths of winter. Morning lows ranged from 10 to 20 degrees across the region. However, a mild weekend is on the way. The mercury will rebound today into the 40s to near 50 as a southerly flow develops. This flow will keep temperatures above freezing at many locations overnight, and temperatures on Sunday easily make it into the 40s across northern Maryland to near 60 across southern Maryland.
On Sunday night, our attention will turn to an area of low pressure moving along a frontal boundary. The system will feature a strong center of low pressure developing along an area of intense convergence caused by two air masses pressing into one another. Warm, subtropical air to the south will battle frigid air to the north. The area of convergence between the warm air to our south and the arctic air to the north will be the track upon which an area of low pressure will develop Sunday into Monday. Areas to the north of the convergence zone will experience a moderate to heavy snow event, with areas to the south receiving a soaking rain. In the middle, a wide range of precipitation types is expected including rain, sleet, snow, and even freezing rain.
At the moment, central Maryland looks to be north of the convergence zone with mixed precipitation on Sunday night changing to heavy snow on Monday. A significant accumulation of more than 5" of snow certainly appears likely in central Maryland with 10" in the realm of possibility. A shift of 20 or 30 miles will have a significant impact on where the heaviest snow falls with this system. In addition to the snow, temperatures will plummet into the 20s during the day with winds gusting over 25 miles per hour at times. Clearing on Monday night will be accompanied by bitterly cold temperatures with low from 0 to 10 degrees by Tuesday morning.
On the Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay, there are no advisories currently in effect. Winds today will come out of the south at 10 knots with waves from 1 to 2 feet. Winds tonight will come out of the south at 10 knots with waves from 1 to 2 feet. Winds on Sunday will come out of the south at 10 knots, then shift to the northeast at 10 to 15 knots with waves from 1 to 3 feet. Winds on Sunday night will come out of the north at 10 to 15 knots with gusts over 20 knots and waves from 1 to 3 feet. Visibility may be reduced in rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow, and fog. Winds on Monday will come out of the north at 10 to 20 knots with gusts over 20 knots with waves from 1 to 4 feet. Visibility will be reduced in snow and fog. Marine information is provided as general guidance. Boaters should always stay tuned to the latest forecasts and advisories from the National Weather Service.
The average high temperature for March 1 is 49 degrees and the average low is 29 degrees. The records at Baltimore on this date are 80 degrees in 1972, and 11 degrees in 1980. Today's sunrise will occur at 6:39 and the sunset will occur at 5:59. Weather data courtesy of the National Weather Service.

And so it has come to this: A favorite funnies-page character has turned to chemical measures in a bid to thwart the ravages of age.
For many comics fans, Ms. Buxley of "Beetle Bailey" has long been the va-va-va-voomiest among four-color femmes. Sure, some of you may dig Blondie Bumstead and others may place Lois Flagston on a pedestal (and what to make of the coquettish June Morgan?), but Ms. Buxley usually trumps them all.
Now it seems as if the pressure to maintain her lead position has led her to use Botox to maintain her looks.
Wednesday's "Beetle Bailey" strip says it all. Suddenly, Ms. Buxley's got a much fuller face. Her cheeks look swollen and her eyes and lips seem fixed and immovable. This new look doesn't come from hours of primping. It is the direct result of a visit to the doctor's office. Can plastic surgery be far behind?
Perhaps Beetle Bailey, who has inexplicably captured Ms. Buxley's heart, is a demanding boyfriend who has threatened to drop her at the first hint of age. Maybe Ms. Buxley can't abide the notion that more guys might dig Blondie. Perchance there's a weight problem. Whatever the reason, it's sad things had to come to this.
As anyone who has watched cougar-ific Mary Worth lure new, age-appropriate male suitors over the years can tell you, there's something to be said for aging gracefully. We hope Ms. Buxley can hear what that is.

July 28, 2012
LONDON - In her first swim as an Olympian, Alabama junior Kristel Vournaadvanced to the semifinals of the 100-meter butterfly on Saturday at the Aquatic Centre in London.
Vourna, swimming for Greece on the first day of the swimming competition, posted a 58.74 to take sixth place in the fourth heat of prelims, which gave her the last spot in the semifinals.
In the semifinals, Vourna shaved nearly half a second off her time from prelims, touching the way with a time of 58.31, finishing seventh in the second heat of the semis and 12th overall. Her time in the finals set a new Greek national record and solidified her reputation as one of the world's up and coming butterflyers.
Saturday proved to be a busy day for Vourna. In addition to her individual events, she anchored Greece's 400m freestyle relay, which finished eighth in the second heat of prelims, with a time of 3:45.55.
Two-time NCAA Champion and now three-time Olympian Vlad Polyakov, a UA senior in 2007, finished third in his heat of the 100m breaststroke preliminaries, but did not advance to the semifinals.
Former Tide All-Americans Arlene Semeco and Hunor Mate will make their Olympic splash later in the week, with Mate swimming the 200m breaststroke at his second Olympiad and Semeco in the 100m and 200m freestyles in her third.

A Modern History of Japan; From Tokugawa Times to the Present
ISBN13:by Gordon, Andrew
Oxford University Press
Related Products
A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present, Second Edition, paints a richly nuanced and strikingly original portrait of the last two centuries of Japanese history. It takes students from the days of the shogunate--the feudal overlordship of the Tokugawa family--through the modernizing revolution launched by midlevel samurai in the late nineteenth century; the adoption of Western hairstyles, clothing, and military organization; and the nation's first experiments with mass democracy after World War I. Author Andrew Gordon offers the finest synthesis to date of Japan's passage through militarism, World War II, the American occupation, and the subsequent economic rollercoaster. The true ingenuity and value of Gordon's approach lies in his close attention to the non-elite layers of society. Here students will see the influence of outside ideas, products, and culture on home life, labor unions, political parties, gender relations, and popular entertainment. The book examines Japan's struggles to define the meaning of its modernization, from villages and urban neighborhoods, to factory floors and middle managers' offices, to the imperial court. Most importantly, it illuminates the interconnectedness of Japanese developments with world history, demonstrating how Japan's historical passage represents a variation of a process experienced by many nations and showing how the Japanese narrative forms one part of the interwoven fabric of modern history. This second edition incorporates increased coverage of both Japan's role within East Asia--particularly with China, Korea, and Manchuria--as well as expanded discussions of cultural and intellectual history. With a sustained focus on setting modern Japan in a comparative and global context, A Modern History of Japan, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate courses in modern Japanese history, Japanese politics, Japanese society, or Japanese culture.

AUSTIN, Texas – On the second day of schedule events at the Texas Hall of Fame Invitational in Austin, Arizona swimming recorded four NCAA automatic berths as well as several other top times in the country.
The women's 200 medley relay team of Sarah Denninghoff, Ellyn Baumgardner, Dana Christ and Margo Geer won with a first-place, NCAA automatic time of 1:36.90.
On the men's side, UA was disqualified in finals of the 200 medley relay after breaststroker Kelly Wyman left early, but Arizona was able to swim a time trial of the event and post an NCAA automatic time of 1:25.65. The foursome of Mitchell Friedemann, Carl Mickelson, A.J. Tipton and Adam Small comprised the medley relay lineup.
Alyssa Anderson, swimming in the 400 I.M. achieved an NCAA consideration time of 4:12.89 in preliminary events and did not swim in finals. For the men in the event, Austen Thompson won the final heat with a consideration time of 3:45.28, by far the fastest collegiate time this season.
Anderson took the women's 200 freestyle final with a time of 1:44.86. She was joined by Geer (third place, 1:45.78), Monica Drake (1:46.47) and Denninghoff (eighth place, 1:48.02) in the final heat.
Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or finished second in the 200 freestyle for the men behind Olympian Ricky Berens. Shapira Bar-Or fielded the fastest collegiate time in the event so far this season with an automatic cut time of 1:33.50.
Ellyn Baumgardner also aced an NCAA automatic time by way of the 100 breaststroke after placing second in 59.58. Last season Baumgardner finished third at NCAA's behind UA's Annie Chandler who won the individual national title with a record time of 58.06.
The men's breaststroke trio of Wyman, Carl Mickelson and Kevin Munsch all finished among the top eight with Wyman achieving the fastest time of 53.73 to place runner-up.
Freshmen Aubrey Peacock and Denninghoff placed third and fourth, respectively in the 100 backstroke with consideration times of 53.23 and 53.73. For the men, Cory Chitwood fielded the fastest time in the country with a 46.56. He was joined by freshman Mitchell Friedemann who went 46.82 in the final for second place.
Tomorrow, Arizona concludes its racing in the Texas Invitational.

The Top 5 Products for Natural Curls and Kinks
This entry was posted on January 28, 2011.
For naturally kinky, coiled, or curly locks, proper shampoos and conditioning are crucial. But you've read it here over and over: the same tricks that work on relaxed or naturally straight lengths just don't work for natural Black hair. Curls and coils call for a completely different kind of hair care, and these shampoos, conditioners, and other products have just the recipe for success!
- Cholesterol conditioners: Cholesterol is horrible for your heart, but great for your hair! Cholesterol serves as one of the best deep conditioning treatments for highly-textured hair, since this substance helps build, protect, and moisturize the hair cuticle. Just think of the way it coats the insides of arteries - that's the way it coats and shields your hair, only without the health risks!
- Soy protein conditioners: Protein is good for all hair, but soy protein is best for natural curls and kinks. Why? Well, without getting too technical, the molecules of plant proteins are smaller and more easily absorbed than those of animal proteins. (In fact, animal protein sources like egg protein seldom break down into small enough molecules to ever help the hair at all.) So check out products that contain soy, silk, or avocado proteins; these will strengthen your hair, create a nice sheen, and leave your mane soft and touchable.
- Lanolin-based leave-ins: Centuries ago, Scottish shepherds discovered that lanolin - the natural oil secreted through sheep's skin - kept their hands and bodies soft and supple. It also does the same for your hair. Lanolin immediately softens hard, dry, or difficult hair, making it a great ingredient for detangling treatments, leave-in conditioners, and even instant or rinse-out conditioners. Just don't go overboard - look for products that mix lanolin with other ingredients - as this substance is truly powerful and can weaken the skin if used too much, especially in its pure form.
- Castile soaps: Don't let the name fool you; castile soaps are gentle, effective cleansers, not harsh, drying soaps. Usually available in liquid form, castile soaps use all-natural ingredients like peppermint, orange, and rosemary to help clean and condition hair at the same time. There are no drying and potentially dangerous sulfates, so your hair will be soft and supple naturally. Simply dilute your castile soap shampoo with water, and you're good to go!
- Natural oils for edge control: Even women with naturally curly hair like a smooth, under-control hairline, but alcohol-based gels and pomades will just tear this tender hair out. Try wetting your edges with plain old water and then slicking on a bit of natural carrot, coconut, or olive oil. You'll love the results, and save money and trouble, too!
Of course, your results may vary with all of these products, since every head of hair is different, especially when it comes to curls and coils. But check out different brands that contain the key ingredients - cholesterol, plant proteins, lanolin, and natural herbs and oils - and you should be on your way to a healthier, stronger mane!
Take care of yourselves,

Littleton's Information Services (IS) Department is responsible for citywide systems and telecommunications operations, support, management, implementation, and integration. The department is dedicated to providing the city with an operational foundation for all technology initiatives, and ensuring consistency, compatibility, and integration of major system components while at the same time providing the resources and knowledge to minimize redundancy and waste and maximize functional capabilities. It is ultimately responsible for implementing and managing innovative 21st-century technology and telecommunications solutions that the city uses to deliver quality and timely services to its citizens.
Technology is now at the core of government and permeates the
delivery of services and the operations of government. Waves of
technological innovation result in fairly predictable management
challenges for government, such as getting technology project plans
developed and funded, training the work force and managing the results.
The following is a list of the services provided by the City's
Information Services Department. The services covered include: Data and
Knowledge Collaboration; E-Government; Emergency Operations; Geographic
Information System (GIS); Mobile Computing; Organizational; Process
Improvement; Security; Standardization; and System Integration. The
services listed have been sorted alphabetically and do not necessarily
represent a rank ordering of services in terms of priority.
reoccurring theme throughout this list of services is the desire to
transition to the use of Internet and Intranet technologies to provide
services to citizens and City of Littleton employees. The use of these
technologies can help the government to deliver services better, faster,
and cheaper. Technologies, like the Internet, can help the government
to be more efficient and responsive.
Digital Government is the term used to describe the
intersection where the Internet, citizens, and government come together.
Digital Government is the place where citizens, and for that matter
employees, manage their relationships with their government, where
businesses and government meet as trading partners, and where
governments themselves transform the way they do business.
Digital Government is a transformation or a shift in the
government culture. It is a shift from strictly counter delivery of
services during "regular" business hours to the delivery of services
when, where, and how the citizen, employee, or business wants those
Government does not require citizens to figure out how the government
is structured and who they go to for specific services. It offers
seamless access to services regardless of the government structure.
Basically, Digital Government is an environment that is safe and
welcoming for citizens, businesses, and employees to do business with
their government, or employer, at a time and place of their choosing.
This future challenge of becoming a Digital Government is
supported by the "City of Littleton Technology and Information Systems
Operations and Strategic Planning Study" which was commissioned by the
City and developed by Whittman-Hart, Inc. in September of 1999. The most
supportive statement comes from the section titled "Proposed IT Project
List" from Proposed Project #29. This is a project for the City
Managers Office titled "City-wide Internet/Intranet Environment." In the
project description it states "This is probably the most important
project the City has in its current priority list."
support for this future challenge comes from the "City of Littleton
E-Government Initiative Feasibility Study" commissioned by the City and
developed by EPC Services-Conseils, Inc. in September of 2001. This
document states that "the City of Littleton embarked on this
[E-Government] Study [to explore ways] to deliver services more
efficiently to its citizens and its employees, to save time and money
and natural resources by reducing paper processing, to streamline its
workflows, accommodate public demands for more and faster service, to
make the City an easier government entity to access, to help internal
and external communications and to reach out across the 'digital divide'
to all citizens."
It is fair, at this point, to conclude that the transition to a
Digital Government is the biggest future challenge facing the City of
Littleton. Most, if not all of the technology initiatives should be tied
to this future challenge. However, technology is not the answer to this
challenge; it is part of the process; it is an enabler.
Littleton Rocks!

By Amy E. Hamaker
Felix Yip, a clinical professor at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and chairman of surgery at Garfield Medical Center in Monterey Park, Calif., holds fond memories of his internship at USC in 1980. Since then, his working relationship with USC has grown as he created his own practice in Urology. Thanks to his recent gift to the USC Institute of Urology, others will be able to follow in his footsteps.
Supporting education is nothing new to Yip and his family. USC Urology has been a focus for the Yips' generosity in the past: July 2013 marks the first Felix and Mildred Yip Fellowship in Advanced Robotics and Laparoscopy for the USC Institute of Urology, sponsored by a previous gift. In addition, the Yips have sponsored the UCLA Yip Center for Oral/Head & Neck Oncology Research and the UCLA Felix and Mildred Yip Endowed Professorship in Dentistry.
Yip believes any gift is worthwhile, and hopes the Asian community in Los Angeles will follow suit. "For me, a huge part of my motivation is seeing new energy and knowledge coming in, and working with residents, fellows and staff," explains Yip. "USC urology was already at a world-class level when Dr. [Inderbir] Gill came, bringing in new technology, methods of how to treat disease and excitement in metropolitan Los Angeles. I truly believe investment in this kind of education will yield the best return."

Piso ideal para visitar Edimburgo. El anfitrion muy amable y accesible. Estamos muy contento con este alquiler. Muchas gracias.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Frankly, you get what you pay for. This was a pretty good location -- walkable to the center of Edinburgh, but shabby and I don't think very clean. Twin beds comfortable and clean enough, but sofa bed just awful with a nasty looking pad passing for a mattress. It felt really dirty. Furniture very sparse -- broken side table in one corner. Old candles and spilled wax on the mantelpiece..... Kitchen also sparsely equipped and the electric kettle leaked! You get what you pay for -- I would never stay here again.
Fantastic apartment. Really very nice and spacious, located in the center of Edinburgh, one step away from all the beautiful places of the city. apartment clean and friendly and helpful owners. All perfect!! Highly recommended !!
Beautiful flat, tastefully furnished, very clean. Stunning view! Supermarket nearby, many buses into city centre, bus stop in walking distance. We enjoyed staying in this wonderful apartment and would book it again.
Excellent appartment and very friendly hosts.
Visit Scotland!
Very welcoming hosts and a comfortable apartment. Would certainly recommend for a great Edinburgh Festival experience! thanks Gill and John.
The flat was very nice and tidy. Also great central location. Gill was very nice and welcoming. I would stronlgy recommand this place.
It all worked out fine. The apartment is very cozy and has a wonderful view of the river .. We have felt very comfortable during our short stay in Edinburgh. The apartment is really highly recommended!
Hat alles bestens geklappt. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und hat einen wunderbaren Ausblick auf den Fluss.. Wir haben uns hier während unseres kurzen Aufenthalts in Edinburgh sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist wirklich sehr empfehlenswert!
The apartment has kept what they promised. She is very centrally located, it's all within walking distance, or if you like, buses and trams nearby (3 min). In addition to the three bed rooms have a large living room with a table for 5 persons. 2 showers and two toilets were ideal for us. Light deductions in the inventory, but that was no problem. So, I can only recommend the apartment. Thanks to Gill and Graham!
Die Wohnung hat das gehalten, was sie versprochen hat. Sie liegt sehr zentral, es ist alles zu Fuss erreichbar, oder wer möchte, Bus und Straßenbahn fahren in der Nähe (3 min). Zusätzlich zu den drei Betträumen noch ein großer Wohnraum mit Tisch für 5 Personen. 2 Duschen und zwei Toiletten waren für uns ideal. Leichte Abzüge im Inventar, aber das war kein Problem. Also, ich kann die Wohnung nur weiter empfehlen. Vielen Dank an Gill und Graham!

Home » Unlabelled » playcalling
Monday, December 03, 2007
Posted by David Kennedy
It was early in the game. Joey Porter had just picked off a Jets pass and run it back to the 32. There's a general rule (which I've heard as "the law of the other shoe") which basically says that after a big play such as a turnover, the offense has the advantage, and should make a gutsy call for a TD. That is, the turnover was one shoe, and going for the TD is the other shoe.
Anyway, did Cam call for a quick strike to get a TD? Nope. He ran straight ahead for a modest gain. And this was against an 8 man front, meaning that they EXPECTED the run. This was the *perfect* opportunity to try and score. They didn't. And then, to make matters worse, he called runs on second and third downs as well, and settled for the field goal. I heard Cefalo, Mandich, and Rose calling for him to try for the score, because they saw it, too. He kept it conservative, and at that point, he lost the game. I'm serious. This was the turning point that gave the game to the Jets.
Just to illustrate a point, this was a typical Miami play. Beck lines up, rolls slightly to the right, and throws to the tight end, who is 5 yards downfield. Yipee. Really attacks the defense, doesn't it?

Justin Timberlake took home the most trophies overall during the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night. This included the final one presented during the live broadcast from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Top Artist. Timberlake wanted to thank everyone in the world during his acceptance speech except Donald Sterling.
Vegas natives Imagine Dragons were welcomed home by receiving the first award of the night, Top Rock Album for "Night Visions." Lorde received hers for Top Rock Song and Top New Artist. Jennifer Lopez or JLo became the first female to be honored with Billboard's Icon Award. She opened the show with the official song to the upcoming World Cup in Brazil, and then closed it out with the debut of her latest single release.
In celebration of Michael Jackson's newly released album "Xscape" and the fifth year anniversary of his death, a striking hologram of MJ was presented to viewers. It was remarkably life-like you'd think this was just another impersonator. This image was not anything like the one of Elvis during an "American Idol" appearance or Tupac Shakur at the Coachella Music Festival. It truly was state-of-the-art at its best. Some on social media were mostly creeped out by the effect, perhaps being too real.
Other memorable performances came from artists on tour in the UK who was live in concert during the BBMAs. Katy Perry was back to her original quirky and colorful self with a performance of her latest, "Birthday." This had a carnival atmosphere filled with neon lights. Perry was high above the crowd on a trapeze filled with balloons. Miley Cyrus went retro with a Beatles classic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" performing with Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne.
The BBMAs traditionally honor artists with the highest amount of airplay on radio, record and album sales, and chart placement on their coveted music charts. Here's a complete list of winners from the broadcast (and non-broadcast).
