The major objectives of the mission were to: (1) obtain color photographs of the nucleus; (2) determine the elemental and isotopic composition of volatile components in the cometary coma, particularly parent molecules; (3) characterize the physical and chemical processes that occur in the cometary atmosphere and ionosphere; (4) determine the elemental and isotopic composition of dust particles; (5) measure the total gas-production rate and dust flux and size/mass distribution and derive the dust-to-gas ratio; and, (6) investigate the macroscopic systems of plasma flows resulting from the cometary-solar wind interaction. The goal was to come within 500 km of Halley's comet at closest encounter. The spacecraft had a dust shield consisting of a front sheet of Aluminum (1 mm thick) and a 12 mm Kevlar near sheet separated by 25 cm, which could withstand impacts of particles up to 0.1 g. The scientific payload was comprised of ten hardware experiments: a narrow-angle camera, three mass spectrometers for neutrals, ions and dust, various dust detectors, a photopolarimeter and a set of plasma experiments.

Smith graded out at 95 percent and recorded 12 knockdowns despite playing only three quarters. The Columbus, Miss., native blocked for junior running back LaDarius Perkins, who ran for his third 100-yard game in his last four contests. In pass blocking the team captain blocked for junior quarterback Tyler Russell, who behind Smith passed for a career-high 291 yards.
The senior and his undefeated No. 15 Bulldogs return to action Saturday night at Davis Wade Stadium for homecoming against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPN2 and the Mississippi State Radio Network.

The Science Channel's Unsealed: Alien Files on Tuesday, April 8th, speculated that "new evidence may prove the Vatican is hiding actual aliens from the public."
No, you read that correctly. It's the Science channel, not the sci-fi, or Syfy channel. And no, this is not The Onion, reality is too Bat-Guano insane to make this stuff up.
During the course of this program, they interviewed Dr. Jose Funes, the priest who directs the Vatican Observatory. (Yes, the Vatican has an observatory. But please, don't let that dissuade you from the idea that the Catholic church hates science. Let the Wiki of priests who are scientists do that.)
Dr. Funes stated that the universe is so large, that "it would be possible that life could evolve the way we know it on Earth."
This is soon followed by a voiceover that says, "Vatican officials have publicly acknowledged the likelihood of alien life. This dramatic reversal of Vatican policy demands an explanation. What does the Church know, or what have they found that causes them to reverse a 2000-year-old teaching?"
First, the very concept of extraterrestrial life is not even two thousand years old, so how could the Catholic church have a policy that old?
The Catholic church has never had a stance on alien life. In fact, the closest "Catholic" position on aliens has not come from the Vatican, but from scientists who are Catholic. The anthropic principle states that all of the factors involved in the creation of the universe are geared towards the creation of life. Alien life would actually lend more evidence towards this particular scientific theory.
The "Science" channel claims that evidence of alien life is available in the "Vatican secret archives." (Let's ignore that "secret archives" is a translation error. It is not so much "secret" as it is "unorganized." This is what happens when a bureaucracy never throws out any paperwork. Ever.) The special claimed that these "secrets" take up 52 miles of shelf space and 32,000 archives … and who needs citation?
The voiceover claims "But the secrets hidden within the Vatican can't stay buried forever. Now new evidence may prove the Vatican is hiding actual aliens from the public."
The program also claimed that in 1998, skulls with elongated heads and small faces were found under the Vatican Library, but that access to the site has been denied. A voiceover asks, "Could these skulls be the remnants of aliens who once lived in the Vatican?"
Actually, it's probably evidence that people with severe Marfan's syndrome once lived in the Vatican. (Marfan's syndrome is a genetic disease that is responsible for various and sundry skeletal anomalies. It's the usual counter by sane people whenever someone cites elongated Egyptian skulls as proof of alien life.)

In addition to an intense focus on risk, our analysis revealed Transformed organizations pay more attention to understanding and engaging with their customers in new ways (see Figure 8). They appear to be responding more pervasively to a profound market shift, namely the explosion of new customer expectations generated in part by our digital, social and mobile marketplace. Likewise, Transformed organizations are also seizing the competitive advantage created when they understand their customers as individuals and engage them in more "authentic" or personalized ways.
FIGURE 8: Focused on Customers
Transformed organizations are learning to use customer analytics that yield something better than broad statistical averages. Instead of segmenting customers along two or three dimensions — sales and interactions, for example, or income, age and geography — they are analyzing a broader set of customer dimensions. These dimensions can include everything from transactional patterns to psychographic profiles of how customers prefer to shop, their likelihood of product purchases and their cumulative value to the company. The result is a highly individualized understanding, otherwise known as a "market of one," making authentic customer engagement possible.9
As one Australian respondent in the financial services industry noted, "As interactions become more electronic and distant from staff interactions, insight to customer behavior and needs is increasingly essential." Analytical insights and actions help restore the sense of a personal relationship that human tellers once provided, he said.
Transformed organizations are putting analytical insights like these into the hands of customer-facing employees. Two-thirds of them support these employees with insights to drive sales and productivity compared to one-fourth of Aspirational organizations.
Many organizations, for example, are learning to anticipate customer needs by understanding what customers actually do when they go online. Pfizer Inc., a global biopharmaceutical company, has taken this approach. "What's really changed this past year or so, as we continued to evolve to a digital interaction and multi-channel model, is the sheer magnitude of data we collect directly about our customers. It's more activity-based," says Dr. David Kreutter, vice president of the company's U.S. Commercial Operations. "We're focusing on discerning patterns early, and using them in a predictive way.�

You can take measures to reduce your risk of becoming infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). You can also reduce the risk of transmitting an STI to your sex partner.
Delay sexual activity until you are prepared both physically and emotionally to have sex. Nearly two-thirds of all STIs occur in people younger than 25 years old. Sexually active teenagers are at high risk for STIs because they frequently have unprotected sex and have multiple partners. Biological changes during the teen years also may increase their risk for getting an STI.
Did You Know?
Under the Affordable Care Act, many health insurance plans will cover preventive care services, including checkups, vaccinations and screening tests, at no cost to you. Learn more.
Make sure your immunizations are up-to-date. You can get a hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and HPV vaccine to prevent these infections. The vaccinesCervarix(What is a PDF document?) and Gardasil(What is a PDF document?) protect against two types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that cause cervical cancer. Gardasil also protects against two types of HPV that cause genital warts. For more information, see the topic Immunizations.
STIs are a concern worldwide. It is important to practice safer sex with all partners, especially if you or they may have high-risk sexual behaviors.
It is especially important that pregnant women who are at risk for STIs practice safer sex because an STI can affect their baby (fetus). An STI may threaten the life of your baby or cause serious long-term problems or disabilities for your baby.
Practice safer sex
Preventing a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is easier than treating an infection after it occurs.
- Talk with your partner about STIs before beginning a sexual relationship. Find out whether he or she is at risk for an STI. Remember that it is quite possible to be infected with an STI without knowing it. Some STIs, such as HIV, can take up to 6 months before they can be detected in the blood. Ask your partner the following questions.
- How many sex partners has he or she had?
- What high-risk behaviors does he or she have?
- Has he or she ever had an STI?
- Was it treated and cured?
- If the STI is not curable, what is the best way to protect yourself?
- Be responsible.
- Avoid sexual contact or activity if you have symptoms of an STI or are being treated for an STI.
- Avoid sexual contact or activity with anyone who has symptoms of an STI or who may have been exposed to an STI.
- Don't have more than one sex partner at a time. Your risk of an STI increases if you have several sex partners at the same time.
- Some STIs can also be spread through oral-to-genital or genital-to-anal sexual contact.
- Abstain from sexual intercourse to prevent any exposure to STIs.

British gay and human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has dedicated his receipt of an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from De Montfort University to the people of Balochistan and their struggle for freedom and self-determination.
Mr Tatchell, a Briton who traces his roots to Australia, has been in the forefront of the international gay rights movement and was beaten up in Russia for his role in organizing a gay pride parade. He has also exposed closeted gays in U.K., who publicly oppose homosexuality. Side by side in fighting for gay rights, Mr Tatchell has been a crusader for the rights of the voiceless people facing state terrorism all over the world, including the Baloch people in Occupied Balochistan.
He has spoken at numeorus Baloch rallies in London, made presentations on behalf of the Baloch people at the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva and ambushed the motorcade of Pakistani dictator Gen. Pervez Musharraf in London, while the dictator was still in office, in support for Baloch rights.
Mr Tatchell received his award on 23 January 2014, in recognition of his 47 year of human rights campaigning, at a ceremony at The Curve in Leicester, UK.
In his acceptance speech, he said: "I dedicate my acceptance of this honorary doctorate to the people of Balochistan who have suffered more than 60 years of annexation, occupation and human rights abuses by Pakistan. They will win their freedom in the end."
He added: "In accepting this honour, I pay tribute to the many heroic, inspirational activists I have worked with to defend human rights in Uganda, Somaliland, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Balochistan, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Western Sahara, Iraq, Palestine and West Papua.
"I am so lucky to have had the privilege to know and support so many amazing, courageous human rights defenders around the world. I walk in their shadow, humbled by their bravery and sacrifice."
Urging people to work for equality and social justice in Britain and worldwide, he concluded: "To quote my fellow sodomite and socialist Oscar Wilde: 'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.'"
Mr Tatchell's dedicating his award for Balochistan freedom coincided with unearthing of a mass grave of Baloch freedom activists in the Balochistan district of Khuzdar Saturday. Pakistan army, Military Intelligence, Inter Services Intelligence and Frontier Corps are reportedly committing crimes against humanity in Balochistan.
According to historical archives, Balochistan was annexed against the wishes of the Baloch people on March 27, 1948 by Pakistani military. Tens of thousands of Baloch and a smaller number of Pakistanis have been killed in five armed uprisings since the forced occupation of Balchistan. These insurgencies have been called wars of liberation by the Baloch nationalists -- the fifth insurgency, more than a decade old, is still ongoing.
Although being gay is taboo in Balochistan, majority of Baloch males, like their Persian and Afghan counterparts, are secretly bisexuals.
The founder of the American Friends of Balochistan, who is the first openly gay person from Balochistan, has expressed his deep gratitude for Mr Tatchell's gesture. "Mr Tatchell's untiring efforts have raised the international profile of the freedom movement in Balochistan. It is much needed at a time when the Pakistan army is repeating in Balochistan crimes against humanity and war crimes that Pakistani soldiers committed in Bangladesh in 1971. Mr Tatchell's crusade for Baloch rights has undoubtedly also helped create acceptance of gay rights in Baloch tribal society," the A.F.B. founder said.

Border Wedding
Amanda Scott
March 2008, Medieval Romance (1380s England and Scotland)
Warner, $6.99, 432 pages, Amazon ASIN 044619798XPart of a series
Sir Walter Scott (not the Sir Walter Scott, though parts of story are loosely based on some of his writings) was caught trying to steal back cattle which had been stolen from him by Sir Iagan Murray. Sir Iagan's shrewd wife, who has three daughters to marry off, is loath to waste an eligible man, even if he is a reiver, and talks her husband into giving Walter (or Wat, as he is called) the choice between marrying their homely daughter Meg or hanging. Wat chooses Meg and takes her - but not his cattle - home.
Tensions are running high on the border between England and Scotland with the Earl of Douglas - Chief Warden of the Scot's Border Marches - and England's Henry "Hotspur" Percy readying their troops. As you might imagine, the history quotient is quite heavy here, though it is pretty well-done. For the most part, I found the details and actions of the historical figures to be interesting and smoothly inserted into the text; the action didn't come to a complete standstill as it can do in many books. However, I was always aware that History was being told.
Wat and Meg's relationship wasn't nearly as compelling. Wat quickly discovers that he likes bedding Meg, and while Meg enjoys it as well, she never gets to experience The Big O. Wat eventually figures it out and vows that the next time she will, but we never get to see it. After several loves scenes where Meg almost gets there, I felt cheated and think we should have been privy to its eventual occurrence.
There is a whole lot of nothing going on for a good 200 pages in the middle of the book as Meg sets about cleaning Wat's home and gets to know her in-laws while Wat is off playing with the boys. Then, suddenly, there is an explosion of activity with treachery and battles aplenty in last 100 pages or so, and things picked up.
I really can't get into how the villains were dealt with at the end without major spoilers, but I have to say that the denouement really got in my craw, especially the fact that the crimes of one - who deserved emasculation at the very least - were brushed aside as if his actions were no big deal. This so infuriated me that it sent the grade of the book from a C to a D.
I've never read an Amanda Scott romance before; I've heard both good and bad things about her books, and that's exactly what I found in Border Wedding. I might have tried another book if what I'd found to be good was the romance, but unfortunately, it wasn't - and that is, after all, why we read romance.

College Hockey:Saints Win Sloppy Battle With Big Green
CANTON, N.Y. — The game was sloppy, the goals were ugly and the home team didn't show up until the second period.
But in this heated battle that at times hardly looked like a late-season contest, the homestanding St. Lawrence Saints kept themselves in the ECAC playoff race with a 3-2 win over cold-shooting Dartmouth Friday night in front of 2,385 fans at Appleton Arena.
SLU (10-19-2, 8-11-2) took only four perimeter shots in the first period but got better as the game went on, scoring once late in the second period and twice early in the third to build a 3-0 lead.
Jamie Herrington scored twice later in the third to pull Dartmouth (12-11-5, 9-7-5) within one, but the Saints held on to remain tied with Yale for the 10th and final playoff spot heading into Saturday night's season finale.
"That's a big win for us," said Saints head coach Joe Marsh. "None of them have been easy. But we held on. I'm proud of the guys."
The Saints' win snapped their four-game winless slide and completed a sweep of the regular-season series with Dartmouth.
It also kept them in the running to make the playoffs for the 18th straight year.
"That was a big, desperate win for us," Marsh said. "Dartmouth came back pretty hard at us. They're the kind of the team where if they get that spark, they can bury you. So for us to pull it out was big."
With the loss, Dartmouth (12-11-5, 9-7-5) dropped from second to third place in the standings, and its chances for home ice in next weekend's best-of-three first-round playoff series remained in question.
Dartmouth has had chronic problems scoring. The visitors took 38 shots but netted only two goals for the fifth time in the last six games.
Including Herrington's two goals in this one, the line of Chris Baldwin, Herrington and Lee Stempniak has now scored eight of Dartmouth's last nine goals.
"My feeling is that we worked really hard. We got great offensive chances throughout the game," Dartmouth head coach Bob Gaudet said. "We've got to keep chipping away. I'm frustrated because my guys are working hard, but they're not getting the end result they want."
The visitors had an abundance of chances in the first two periods, but continued to struggle with burying the puck. In total, Dartmouth took 25 shots in the opening 40 minutes, all of which were saved by Mike McKenna. McKenna finished the night with 36 stops.
Among Dartmouth's best opportunities were a Chris Taliercio redirect of a Pete Summerfelt shot during a first-period power play; a series of 2-on-1 rushes; and a Kent Gillings laser from the left circle on which McKenna made a beautiful, sprawling glove save.
The Saints, meantime, stepped up after a quiet first period, taking 14 shots in the middle frame.
The home team grabbed a 1-0 lead 33.1 seconds before the second intermission, continually batting the puck at the net before Mike Muir converted on the second rebound, sneaking the puck inside the right post. Brother Sean Muir and Charlie Daniels earned assists on the goal.
SLU claimed a 2-0 advantage early in the third frame in shocking fashion. With his teammates making a line change, junior Jim Lorentz dumped the puck in from just inside the blueline. Lorentz's dump-in went on net and apparently caught Nick Boucher (18 saves) unaware, because the puck slid inside the right post at 1:34.
After Lorentz's goal, Gaudet replaced Boucher with sophomore Darren Gastrock, who played the final 17:21 and finished with six saves.
The one shot Gastrock didn't save was an Andy Marchetti attempt off a rebound. Marchetti netted his fourth of the season at 6:17 to make it 3-0.
After that, Gaudet called a timeout and the Big Green began to control possession time once again.
Herrington netted two goals — his 10th and 11th of the season — in a two-minute, 18-second span to make it 3-2, but Dartmouth never completed the comeback. Herrington had the Big Green's best chance in the final moments, breaking free before taking a point-blank slapshot from the slot.
But McKenna made the save and SLU held on for the win.
"I had a lot of chances tonight. I think I should have had four or five goals," Herrington said. "Only two went in, though. We need more than that."
The Big Green closes its season Saturday night at Clarkson, while the Saints will host last-place Vermont.

It's a well known fact at this point that Sony's PlayStation 4 has taken the world by storm. Coming in with the best hardware, strongest marketing campaign and pre-release "good guy Sony" hype, the $400 price was only icing on the guaranteed success cake.
That success continues to this day, as Sony has announced that over 7 million PlayStation 4 units have been sold world wide since release, cementing the lead in the "next generation" console race that was taken back in February, when Sony broke 5.3 million units in under 90 days.
So it seems the pre-release sales prediction's for these platforms are coming true, with Xbox One holding its weight fairly well and the Wii U still struggling to gain traction. Whats your thoughts?

UNVERSITY PARK, Penn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) --If youve ever wanted to learn another language or brush up on one you studied in high school now is the time to do it. Well tell you how speaking more than one language can boost your brain power.
Its estimated that more than 30 million Americans are bilingual, and in many places around the world, speaking three to four different languages is common.
I can speak German if Im in Germany, I can speak French when Im in France or I can speak Dutch when Im in the Netherlands, or English basically in all the other countries. Janet Vanhell, Ph.D., a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University told Ivanhoe.
Now, new research from cognitive scientists and psychologists has shown that speaking more than one language can improve brain function.
The finding that is very surprising is that bilinguals cannot switch off one of the two languages, Judith Kroll, Ph.D., a cognitive scientist, Pennsylvania state university told Ivanhoe.
Constantly juggling languages helps exercise the brain. Researchers found that some bilingual speakers are better able to ignore unimportant information and focus only on important things skills that help bilinguals become better at prioritizing and multi-tasking.
What we see is that its not just about language, that it becomes a more general characteristic of how bilinguals are able to sort out these conflicts in everyday life, Dr. Kroll concluded.
The source of enhanced multi-tasking skills could be speaking. Bilinguals are able to select the language to speak, even slipping in and out of both languages to select a word or phrase to better express a thought.
Proof mental exercising does the mind good.
The benefits of bilingualism are shown across all age groups, studies with bilingual children show they are also better at prioritizing and multi-tasking than children who only speak one language.

If there%26rsquo;s one thing you%26rsquo;ll learn by the time you%26rsquo;ve finished Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, it%26rsquo;s that the Knights of the Brotherhood were much more useful as shimmering, loot-filled corpses than they ever were as warriors. Our collectibles guide shows you exactly where to find every single Life Gem, Light Gem, Shadow Gem, weapon upgrade, and scroll throughout this beautifully grim tale.
All of the aforementioned items contribute to your level completion percentage except for the scrolls - while they%26rsquo;re not worth anything in terms of in-game achievements, you can always give yourself a big pat on the back for experiencing everything the game has to offer. Plus, they make for interesting reads and will often give you hints on how to best overcome the challenges of each level. Gabriel's already got bottomless pockets, so why not pick up the extra parchment?
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapters 3 %26amp; 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapters 7 %26amp; 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapters 10 %26amp; 11
CHAPTER 1: Hunting Path
Life Magic Gem
Scroll #1
Scroll #2
You%26rsquo;ll eventually reach dry land, with more bog leading north. Choose to go up through the bog and you%26rsquo;ll see a corpse on the right containing a scroll. Grab health from the fountain on the left side of the screen if needed, then continue north through the bog until you reach another camp. Here you%26rsquo;ll need to fell the dead tree using Goblin grenades.
Scroll #3
After crossing over the fallen tree, there is a corpse to the left containing this scroll.
Life Magic Gem #4
After dropping down to grab the ledges, you%26rsquo;ll come upon a section where the game tells you to use the R2/Right Trigger button to grip. Ignore that, swing to the ledge to the right, and drop down to find a corpse containing the last Life Gem. If you%26rsquo;ve collected all of them so far, this one should be enough to fill your first Life Gem Medallion.
Scroll #1
Life Magic Gem
Scroll #2
Just before you pass through the massive tree trunk, a corpse is lying right out in the open.
Holy Water Upgrade
Just before where you solve the rune trial, you%26rsquo;ll see a glaringly obvious Brotherhood Ark to your left. Unfortunately, you cannot reach it until you have the Seraph Shoulders, obtained by completing chapter 8. Return here when you have them.

The 12-year-old Boy Scout who was shot dead on Monday may not have died from a suicide as previously reported. The boy was found with more than one gunshot wound on his body slumped over in a tent with a handgun nearby, according to NBC News on June 30.
Update: On Tuesday July 1, reports today indicate that the boy was shot in the head with evidence leaning toward suicide, but official word of cause of death has not yet been released. Police reported yesterday that the bullet trajectory will be an important factor on calling this a suicide or not. Nothing more has been said about multiple gunshot wounds found on the boy as thought was possibly the case yesterday, according to ABC News today.
The child was part of a Boy Scout Troop from Las Vegas that came to San Diego to this Boy Scout camp for a week. The boy who died was one of 20 in his troop that made the trip to Fiesta Island Youth Camp and Youth Aquatic Center in Mission Bay. They had just arrived at the camp the day before this shooting tragedy, according to San Diego 6 News.
Police were called out to the Boy Scout camp at about 7:30 on Monday morning. The 911 call the police received reported that a boy had been shot in the head. This is the origin of the confusion with the first reports claiming the boy was shot in the head. When police arrived, they found that the boy had been shot in the torso.
The boy was pronounced dead on the scene from gunshot wounds, but police did not release any information on how many times the child had been shot. They did say he was shot once in the torso, but nothing was said about the locations of the other gunshot wounds.
Police are waiting for the autopsy findings to come back as the results will show the trajectory of the bullet. This will determine if the shooting was indeed a suicide or not.
They need this test before making the decision if this shooting was due to a suicide or something else, such as an accidental shooting. Police will not comment if there were any other people in the tent at the time the shooting occurred, but they did say there were no witnesses to the shooting.
Police conducted interviews with Scout leaders, scouts and chaperones who accompanied this Boy Scout troop to the campsite. This camp had about 400 people on site from different Boy Scout troops from around the region.

Toshiba to launch glasses-free notebooks in 2H 2011
According to Digitimes, Toshiba plans to launch glasses-free laptops in 2H 2011. Toshiba actually demonstrated a prototype 3D laptop in CES 2011, called the Qosmio. It had a parallax-barrier LCD (with one viewpoint) and an eye-tracking camera.
Toshiba is already offering glasses-free displays, and sales are still weak: in the first month they sold only 500 units of the 20GL1 20" model (which costs ¥240,000, which is over $2,900) and even fewer 12GL1 12" units (these cost ¥120,000, about $1,500).

In the Seattle Pets Examiner column, I have always written about the animals who share their lives with other people. I thought I'd share one of my own animal stories in my column today.
This was written for my Arabian horse, Misty, who passed away in Sept. 2013 at the age of 32. She really was something special. Read her story in Pet Connection Magazine here.
Dear Misty -
When I first met you, you were frighteningly thin - but I could still see the beauty within you. You looked at me pleadingly for help as you stood shivering in ankle-deep mud. Your hip bones stuck out from beneath your dirty, almost-white coat and I could count your ribs. Your beautiful eyes were dull and hopeless. Your front hooves were so long that you could barely walk. Your frail body was covered with painful patches of rain rot. But I said, "Come with me, Misty. I will help you."
And I did.
Over many months, I fed you warm mash with vegetable oil and carrots. I told you all about my days and you cocked your head to the side as you listened, your lower lip drooping happily as I slowly brushed you. As your frame began to fill out, my love for you began to fill in the place in my heart that had long been empty. You see, Misty, I once had another horse who looked just like you. She was a sweet little gray Arabian who died in my arms one cold autumn day. That place in my heart had waited for almost a decade until I finally met you. One day, I was sadly reminiscing about my friend who had passed away and you looked at me as if to say, "Lean on me, and I will help you."
And you did.
When you were finally healthy enough for me to ride you, I laughed and cried with joy. Who was this amazing, vibrant horse who had been so frail only months before? As you took those first few tentative steps with me on your back, you turned and looked at me and cocked your head to the side. "Trust me, and I will help you," I said.
And I did.
Even when I was in a lot of pain and moving so slowly, you always stood patiently for me to get on, turning to look and see that I was ready. With your patience, forgiveness, and love, you helped me learn to love to ride again. You carried me for many miles with sure feet and a happy heart. Your sheer joy brings tears to my eyes, even now: How we loved the trails, two friends traveling as one! Once I forgot my way out of the woods and didn't know how to get home. As darkness fell, I gave you a loose rein and said anxiously, "Misty, please find the way home." You turned to look at me as if to say, "Come with me, and I will help you."
And you did.
When your bones began to grind together with arthritis, I no longer put the saddle on your back. I missed our happy rides and could tell that you did, too. So I took you by the halter and smiled and said, "Come with me, and I will help you." And I did. Side by side, we explored the trails, walking many miles together. Your feet danced so happily and your eyes shone bright with gratitude.
When I was sad, I would tell you all of my woes. You would listen patiently, touching my arm with your muzzle for reassurance. When I cried into your mane, you turned your head to me and breathed warm, soft breaths against me, as if to say, "Stay with me, and I will help you."
And you did.
When I realized that you could no longer hear me, I used hand signals to call you in from the pasture. To my delight, you quickly learned the signs for "come" and "eat," responding with shining eyes and eager feet. And when I realized that those shining eyes could no longer see me well, I took you by the lead and let you lean against me for comfort. "Lean on me, and I will help you," I said with loving hands brushed along your shoulder.
And I did.
Someday far too soon, my dear friend, you will no longer be able to see at all. When staying, leaning, listening, and loving are no longer enough, I will say to you one final time, "Come with me, and I will help you."
But not yet, Misty. You turn 33 next year, but we still have a few adventures to share.
You have been my friend, my partner, my companion, my dear, devoted pet. Stay with me...just a little bit longer. And I will help you...as you have helped me.
I helped Misty pass over the rainbow bridge on Sept. 27.

Mike Carbery Landscapes — Case Study — Taming Ballymun
Before and After
Click on an image for a larger version.
This garden in Ballymun was designed, built and planted by Mike Carbery Landscapes in June 2007.
The Process
During the initial consultation, the client's likes and dislikes were ascertained through the use of images and sketches.
After further correspondence, his preference of style and practical requirements were identified i.e. patio/ entertaining area, storage, recycling, laundry etc. The budget was also discussed at this stage.
Then a site survey was conducted, which involved measuring the different levels and distances between existing features and boundaries, noting orientation, prevailing winds, soil type, drainage, and the location of existing plants.
When this information was gathered, a Base Plan was drawn up.
A Base Plan is a scaled drawing showing the differing areas and their intended uses, and general planting descriptions.
Firstly and as a matter of course, we considered the client's requirements and desires, then taking the lead from the site itself; we repeated the angle of the back boundary line to created three different areas.
- A decked area for catching the morning sun and hiding the concrete pad to the rear of the house. The entrance to the garden is through French Doors from the kitchen, and the deck was built to meet this level, in order to encourage people to venture out to the garden.
- The second area, as requested by the client, was a substantial lawn framed by raised brick beds with mixed planting on one side, and grasses on the other. The perfectly square lawn was interrupted with Indian sandstone stepping stones hinting towards the slightly obscured third area.
- Stepping past the wall of bamboo and through the timber archway, revealed a dining area paved with natural Indian sandstone, sited to catch the evening sun. This patio was surrounded with architectural planting providing a secluded refuge complete with chimenea and spot lighting.
The design also included a commissioned garden sculpture by Mike, created from scorched timber with the phrase "The Earth Laughs In Bloom" written in ancient Irish Ogham using brass inserts.
These ideas were presented to the client, along with a quotation for the construction phase.
After agreement on design and price, a start date was set and a completion date fixed.
I found Mike very easy to work with.... his excellent knowledge and eye for design guided us through the initial concepts and ideas to the final completed garden. I have no hesitancy in recommending him for any gardening project.

"Noah" is a failed movie-making venture of historical proportions. The only thing Darren Aronofsky succeeded in doing is perhaps serving up the worst movie ever. (Remember the "Ishtar ish Terrible" headline? We are in THAT territory).
And the missed opportunity here, is whether real or imagined, the story of Noah's Ark is a grand fable.
Even with an enduring saga working for him, Aronofsky seems intent on murdering it with no discernable plot let alone the original one. Horrific dialogue, schlocky imagery that includes talking moving rock formations, an ark box that squanders a great opportunity to stun audiences with animal life varieties and a cavernous nautical wonderland worthy of the folklore it inhabits.
Or at least a child's imagination.
Adding so much static and creepy visualizations to this enduring story, Aronofsky was hell bent on destroying any historical reference and was clearly hallucinatory if he thought an attempted child ritual sacrifice would be a nice touch.
That the scene lingers without dramatic plot device to ground it or a preface of why it exists at all is just another reason underlining Aronofsky's sole purpose exists to smother and obscure the original for younger generations unlikely to seek the unvarnished version.
In a relative few years, every sweet fairy tale known to man has been obliterated with vampire references, shocking violence and mayhem, suppression and sexism. (Only "Frozen" has emerged the hands down winner of pure entertainment).
With Noah (Russell Crowe) alternating between stringy long hair, then a clearly non-biblical crew cut and then adding an unlikely scraggly beard to his buzz cut, his crazy man ramblings can more fully be attributed to hair and make up miscues ... that here can be simply one more reason God sent the flood.
He must also have been wondering where they got the pants. The clothes are just as non-sensical.
There is no point reviewing the acting. This movie is a tragic venture void of even a redeeming scene. The the potential of well-paid performers like Anthony Hopkins (Noah's dad) and Jennifer Connelly (Noah's wife) was sunk far before filming began. They clearly took their paycheck and ran for the hills. Or St. Bart's.
Both no doubt have spent endless hours praying no colleagues or casting directors will see it. Or worse, hold it against them.
Audiences will. Definitely.

Bad travel agency? Team 10 looks into complaints
Police looking for more victims
NATIONAL CITY, Calif. - Team 10 is looking into complaints the owner of a National City travel agency took thousands of dollars from customers and never purchased plane tickets.
Nanette Gutierrez told Team 10 she gave Ernesto "Nesty" Arbulante $7,500 for five tickets to the Philippines. Arbulante is the owner of Elvie's Boutique and Travel on East 8th Street in National City.
Gutierrez was going to visit family and friends.
"He was so nice," said Gutierrez. "My husband knew him. My friends used him before."
She said he would only accept cash when she paid him in February.
Gutierrez and her family went to the airport June 12 and flew to Manila. She said their bags were checked incorrectly, which cost them an extra $120. That would soon be the least of their worries.
When Gutierrez went to fly home, she said she learned Arbulante only bought three of the five tickets needed to get back, and then she could not reach him.
She had to pay more than $2,300 for two additional tickets for her sons to fly home.
"I never thought he would do that to people," Gutierrez said.
She said she paid for the tickets in February. The airline clerk told her the plane tickets were not purchased by Arbulante until June 12, 2014, the morning they left.
"I got sick because of stress," said Gutierrez.
National City police said 10 people have come forward with similar stories. They are investigating Arbulante.
Investigator Tom Di Zinno of the National City Police Department was at the business when Team 10 went to find Arbulante.
"I'm posting a notice for anyone who has been a victim of fraud to come forward and give us information about these transactions," said Di Zinno.
Di Zinno taped a flyer to the door with his information.
He said police responded to a call about people fighting in the parking lot.
It turned out to be an upset customer who wanted his plane tickets or money from Arbulante.
"It looks like he was pocketing the money and not actually buying the tickets," said Di Zinno.
Police started asking questions and found more victims.
"We have 10 people who claim to have been defrauded. We are up to about $10,000 in claims," said Di Zinno.
If you are a victim of fraud contact Investigator Tom Di Zinno of the National City Police Department at 619-336-4473.

Memorial Day gives loved ones the opportunity to pay homage to men and women who died in the U.S. military. But loved ones don't have to wait until the annual celebration to honor their family and friends. The Fourth of July celebrations are over and Labor Day is coming up, but there is no day on the calendar that is exempt from missing fallen loved ones.
Family gatherings, solo trips to cemeteries, parades and other types of memorials are common plans for these holidays. And with the honorable moments, grave sites end up riddled with flags on plastic sticks, plastic flowers and other nonrecyclable items on public grounds.
For loved ones who choose to leave something behind while visiting cemeteries, weather-related damage or wear and tear usually leads to these items being destroyed.
It may be controversial to find that cemetery and grounds maintenance workers get rid of the mementos, but it's their job to maintain the area by fertilizing, mowing, mulching, planting, pruning, seeding and watering the land. With leftover decorations, that makes it incredibly difficult.
And since plastics and cloth (from flags) are recyclable, cleaning the items and reselling them before weather can destroy them is a handy and green way to recycle.
But for those who would rather their items not be resold or left as litter, consider alternative gift options when visiting cemetery grounds.
Ditch the plastic flowers for real flowers: For gardeners, this is a pretty easy thing to do. And if you know a gardener, there's no harm in putting a few extra dollars in her pocket by purchasing flowers from her as opposed to paying exorbitant rates from some flower shops. Scientific American discusses the controversy over the amount of water and pesticides used to grow the flowers plus the CO2 increase in flowery delivery transportation. If you're already headed to the cemetery and don't know a neighboring gardener, at least find a nearby flower store along the way.
Lose the plastic flag, keep it with you: There's no harm in temporarily sticking a cloth flag into the grounds while sitting at a cemetery. But take the flag when leaving. Donate the flag material or cut it up for decorations or clothing patches for jeans.
Companies like USAFlagSupply.com accept worn and tattered flags for proper disposal. Environmentally friendly vendors can purchase orders of recycled flags from eco-friendly companies, such as Alabama-based company RecycledUSFlags.com. According to their staff, the flags are made from melted down water and soda bottles, mixed with red, white and blue carpet fibers. The flag sizes come in 3 x 5, 4 x 6 and 5 x 7. The recycled flags are then cut up, and the stripes are sewn on. For the more crafty among us, this may be a great project for kids and adults with old clothes. It's also a more personalized gift.
Arrive empty handed but full of love: The federal government declared Waterloo, N.Y., as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. This location celebrated the day as early as May 5, 1866. But in addition to decorating graves with flowers and flags, the bigger deal was the people who showed up for the commemoration. Encourage other family and friends to gather together and reflect on the memories of fallen soldiers. This is also a perfect time to start a family journal (on recycled paper of course). Snap digital photographs of the site and family attendees, and add them to the journal entries. This family heirloom can be passed down for years to come, and this documentation is also a handy way for everyone to know exactly where to go should they choose to visit cemetery locations on their own.

This article originally appeared as on Spry LivingCheryl Hines may play the superficial single mother Dallas Royce on ABC�s Suburgatory, but in reality she is 180 degrees from her character, who once considered Botox injections for her teenage daughter. �Suburgatory is so over the top that people, hopefully, can�t think we�re serious,� says the 48-year-old actress, recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for a career that includes two Emmy nominations for HBO�s Curb Your Enthusiasm. A real-life mom to 10-year-old Catherine, Cheryl works hard to promote a positive body image at home. �I try to make sure Catherine understands that it�s not about how you look,� she says. �It�s about how you feel and how healthy you are.� Cheryl also spreads the healthy living message in a more public way, through her work with the American Heart Association (inspired by her father, who suffered�a near-fatal heart attack several�years ago) and United Cerebral�Palsy. Here, she dishes on staying�fit, aging well and getting your�priorities straight. Spry: What do you think is the biggest challenge for women when it comes to their health? Cheryl: We as women are�so busy trying to take care of everybody else�our children and husbands�that sometimes we don�t make ourselves a priority. When it comes to your health, you have to. It�s like they say�on airplanes: �Put your own oxygen mask on before your�help your child.�Spry: How do you encourage good health habits in your daughter?Cheryl: We do healthy things together. I try to get her to jump on our trampoline,�or we go skiing. One New Year�s, we gave up French fries for six months. It�wasn�t easy, but it was good because we had each other! Now she doesn�t eat fries much. I think it�s good to set an example�I can�t be eating a candy bar and have her eat an apple.

The term "Historical Jesus" refers to the reconstruction of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is based upon analysis of both the Gospel texts and the Apocrypha. In addition, other religious texts, from Jewish, Muslim or Hindu sources, along with consideration of the historical and cultural context in which he lived, are also used.
The Cosmic Christ is a term for the external Christ-consciousness. It is through connection to the Cosmic Christ, or Christ Without, through various spiritual practices and techniques that one can instill and facilitate the growth of the Christ-consciousness within the individual, or the Christ Within.
In esoteric Christian and Spiritual teachings, the Historical Jesus of Nazareth was the focal point for, and anchored on behalf of humanity, the Cosmic Christ in the world during his time of physical incarnation.

FRESNO, Calif. --- After the first five days of fall camp, the hard offseason work by the Fresno State volleyball team is showing up on the court.
"Preseason has been the best I've probably had in my eight years of coaching," Bulldogs' head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell said entering her eighth year as a Division I head coach and sixth at Fresno State. "It's gone well so far, but we have a long way to go until we compete."
The 'Dogs reported for camp this past Friday for a day filled with setting the tone for the upcoming season and administrative meetings before taking the court on Saturday for testing and the first full day of individual, small group and six-on-six practice.
"Our team came in super prepared this season," senior middle blocker Lauren Albertson said. "We're excited to take each practice day-by-day and just focus on each opponent - one at a time."
Fresno State, which had its best season in eight years in 2012, continues to focus on getting better every day to give the program a chance to be a serious contender in the Mountain West this year.
"We head into our second season in the Mountain West with five seniors who have been battle-tested," Netherby-Sewell said. "We are keeping it simple every day and we're just focusing on getting better. When we work hard to get better each day, then I'm happy and the results will come."
And the results have been coming for the Bulldogs with an emphasis on sound fundamentals and maintaining a consistent competitive fire.
"Our upperclassmen have lived and learned through their failures and triumphs and are ready to make each day their best," Netherby-Sewell said. "The expectation on this team is that the strong returning class helps integrate the three newcomers into our culture of hard-work, vigor and fighting spirit."
And already through the first three days of court work in fall camp, those expectations have been a daily reality.
"We've been really getting our movement patterns down and making sure we are efficient," Netherby-Sewell said. "Our players really worked hard this summer and the conditioning packet really had to do with volleyball moves, and they really did it. I can see it transfer onto to the court, so we're getting to move a little bit faster than we have in the past."
Fresno State opens the season on Aug. 30 at 5 p.m. PT versus Rice in the 2013 Bulldog Invitational.
"Catch the Wave" --- Season tickets for Fresno State Volleyball start at $55 for adults and $35 for seniors and youth. A special 12-game tournament mini-plan is available for $15 and the Family & Friends Season Flex Plan starts at $89. To purchase season tickets, please visit www.gobulldogs.com or call 559-278-DOGS.

In the midst of a heavenly winter (because, yes, some people love a season filled with an abundance of snow), one of the best aeries from which to relish hibernal pleasures is a suite at The Ames Boston Hotel. What could be nicer than a restorative romantic weekend with an eagle's eye view of downtown Boston?
Opened in 2009, The Ames Boston Hotel is housed in Boston's first skyscraper, a 13-story neo-Romanesque structure of granite and sandstone that has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974.
The boutique hotel's impeccable renovation retained much of the building's historic detail, such as the mosaic ceilings, carved stonework, marble staircases, and reclaimed granite - and combined it with the sleek and chic design vision of David Rockwell of The Rockwell Group.
The hotel's 114 rooms and suites (and one apartment) foster the fantasy of living in a 21st-century Boston pied à terre marked by historic provenance: arched windows and 13-foot ceilings are complemented by original marble fireplaces and oak floorboards.
Floor-to-ceiling sheer window treatments further the illusion of floating inside a silvery snow cloud and the modern décor features chrome, leather, and marble in varying shades of white, gray, and charcoal. The streamlined and minimalist aesthetic provides a calming atmosphere in which to decompress and unwind, high above the city streets.
For Valentine's Day weekend, The Ames Boston Hotel's XO Package includes deluxe accommodations in a corner or deluxe king room with city views. Each room features the hotel's signature "Sexy Shower" with its peek-a-boo glass wall and rain forest showerhead. All XO Packages also include complimentary valet parking, a split of Champagne, late check-out, and The Ames Boston Hotel "Intimacy Kit."
Located in the city's Financial District, abutting Government Center, The Ames Boston Hotel is almost next door to Faneuil Hall with its many upscale boutiques and restaurants and only a short walk to the newly-bohemian and fashionable North End.
The hotel's accolades include a place on Condé Nast Traveler's "Hot List," as well as a AAA Four Diamond property rating.
This February, write your Valentine's Day fantasy at The Ames Boston Hotel.
