What She Tells Her Friends
What's your fetish?Again, it is the return of establishing normalcy or deviancy. If women breach this topic with their friends, they may be feeling a little intimidated by the fetish, feel inadequate to the wants and needs or be seeking a discreet out from something that they're not prepared to enjoy.
Does she tell her friends? No.
The embarrassment may be too great and the subject too controversial for some women to freely talk about. Women may not want to be perceived differently from their friends — especially if they like what is done in the bedroom or wherever the fetish leads them.
How's your end game?What men do after having sex resounds in the minds of women. Women often ask: Does he fall asleep? Does he cuddle for five minutes then zip up? Does he stay the night?
Does she tell her friends? Yes.
After a romantic interlude, women may find it necessary to tell their friends exactly what happened. Women want opinions that will confirm their suspicions, allay worries or coincide with happy wishes.
The emotional blow is tangible when men leave right after sex. Women will replay conversations in their heads to find that one word that indicates another meeting and see if his actions follow suit. All these variables are examined and discussed with their friends; be aware of the verbal and nonverbal cues you send on your exit. Unless the woman is also using the man, she will not appreciate a quick getaway.
chatterboxFriends are invaluable to women. They play the roles of therapist, sister, sounding board, and mother. What women tell or don't tell their friends is reliant upon mood and how into you they are. Among friends, happiness is shared jubilantly and dissatisfaction is dissected.
How satisfied she is with you and the relationship correlates into positive conversations with her girls. Treat her well and you won't have to worry about any possible embarrassment later.

EULAR recommendations for terminology and research in individuals at risk of rheumatoid arthritis: report from the Study Group for Risk Factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The Study Group for Risk Factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis was established by the EULAR Standing Committee on Investigative Rheumatology to facilitate research into the preclinical and earliest clinically apparent phases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This report describes the recommendation for terminology to be used to define specific subgroups during different phases of disease, and defines the priorities for research in this area. Terminology was discussed by way of a three-stage structured process: A provisional list of descriptors for each of the possible phases preceding the diagnosis of RA were circulated to members of the study group for review and feedback. Anonymised comments from the members on this list were fed back to participants before a 2-day meeting. 18 participants met to discuss these data, agree terminologies and prioritise important research questions. The study group recommended that, in prospective studies, individuals without RA are described as having: genetic risk factors for RA; environmental risk factors for RA; systemic autoimmunity associated with RA; symptoms without clinical arthritis; unclassified arthritis; which may be used in a combinatorial manner. It was recommended that the prefix 'pre-RA with:' could be used before any/any combination of the five points above but only to describe retrospectively a phase that an individual had progressed through once it was known that they have developed RA. An approach to dating disease onset was recommended. In addition, important areas for research were proposed, including research of other tissues in which an adaptive immune response may be initiated, and the identification of additional risk factors and biomarkers for the development of RA, its progression and the development of extra-articular features. These recommendations provide guidance on approaches to describe phases before the development of RA that will facilitate communication between researchers and comparisons between studies. A number of research questions have been defined, requiring new cohorts to be established and new techniques to be developed to image and collect material from different sites.

Ringside by Billy "Loops" Luppert
Unbeaten Featherweight Prospect Matt "The Sharp Shooter" Remillard captured the NABF belt on Saturday night with an impressive 4th round TKO over previously undefeated Rafael Lora.
Fighting in his home state of Connecticut for the first time in over a year, Remillard did not disappoint his hometown fans, as he was fighting 10 minutes from his home,at Nomad's Adventure Quest in South Windsor, CT.
Lora was a formidable foe as he pressed the action early on, but Remillard's defense, poise, and accurate punching established who the better fighter in the ring was. Lora's come forward style and quick hands made Remillard work, but Remillard was able to counter-punch successfully and stop Lora in his tracks.
In round 4, Remillard hurt Lora with a right hand and turned away from Remillard. Remillard jumped on Lora and landed a 1-2 combination that dropped Lora in the corner, and the bout was stopped. Time of the stoppage was :50.
With the win, Remillard improves to 19-0 (11), while Lora drops to 11-1 (5).
Undercard Results:
Weltereight Noel Garcia (2-2-1, 1KO) spoiled the pro debut of Kelly Luchs knocking him down in the first round en route to an entertaining 4 round unanimous decision. Scores of the bout were 39-36 and 38-3 twice.
In a heavyweight bout that was seemingly more fit for a bar or a toughman contest, Winston Thorpe (2-0, 2KO's)scored a third round TKO over Steve Kerner, who was making his pro debut. Both fighters continuously swung wild during the fight, and Thorpe was able to land a haymaker that dropped Kerner. Kerner beat the count but the fight was stopped at 53 seconds of the round when Kerner couldn't defend himself any longer, as if he actually could during the fight.
Featherweight Robert Rodriguez made his pro debut an entertaining one as he scored a 4 round unanimous decision over a very game Jose Pacheco (2-7-6). All 3 judges scored the bout 40-36
Edwin Soto's pro debut lasted 53 seconds as he literally hit Donald Miller with a rib cracking left hand to the body that sent Miller to the canvas crumbling in pain. Miller remained on the canvas for a few minutes afterward until being helped out of the ring.
In an all-action fight, lightweight Chip Perez had a successful pro debut by scoring a 4 round majority decision over Juan Zuniga. Scores of the bout were 39-37, 39-38, and 38-38.

Scouting Washington: The Huskies enter Saturday's game with a 22-4 record (12-3 Pac-10) after a win Thursday vs. Arizona State. Entering the week, UW was shooting 48.6 percent from the field (791-of-1628), posted a +4.8 rebound margin and outscored the opposition by 14.4 points per game. Individually, five Huskies average in double figures, led by Tre Simmons, who averages 16.1 points per game. Bobby Jones leads the team by averaging 5.7 rebounds per game.
The Series: Thursday's game marks the 56th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 37-18 series advantage. UA has won nine of the last 12 meetings in the series, which dates back to Dec. 29, 1964, including the last get-together, 91-82, in Tucson on Jan. 27. All-time, Arizona is 21-5 in series games played in Tucson, 15-12 in Seattle, and 1-1 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 105 of the UA basketball media guide.
Last Meeting: Arizona 91, Washington 82, Jan. 27, 2005: Arizona set a school record by making 38-of-40 free throws and held Washington to 38.6 percent shooting from the field in posting the come-from-behind win. Salim Stoudamire scored a game-high 25 points and Channing Frye tallied 14 of his 18 points in the second half as the Wildcats rallied from an 11-point first half deficit. In limiting UW to just 32.4 percent shooting in the second half, UA outscored the visitors, 51-35, in the final stanza.
Matching a Legend: Thursday's win gave UA coach Lute Olson his 304th career Pac-10 victory, equaling UCLA's John Wooden for most career conference wins by a league head coach. Entering today's game, Olson has a career Pac-10 record of 304-86 (.779), while Wooden amassed a 304-74 (.810) mark while the mentor in Westwood. Incidentally, Olson currently stands 14th on the NCAA all divisions coaching victories list with a record of 735-253 (.744). He is also ranks third on the NCAA Division I active victories list behind only Texas Tech's Bob Knight and Oklahoma State's Eddie Sutton.
A Win Today: An Arizona win today would give the Wildcats its 11th Pac-10 regular season championship and its 24th league title in school history. Of the 10 Pac-10 titles that Olson has won since 1986, eight of those have been of the outright variety. Additionally, it would also be Arizona's third road sweep of the conference season.
Against Ranked Teams: Heading into Saturday's game with 14th-ranked Washington, Arizona has a 3-1 record against ranked opponents this season. While at Arizona, Olson has a 98-62 (.613) record vs. ranked foes.
In Overtime: Ivan Radenovic's clinching free throws on Thursday improved the Wildcats' record to 2-0 in overtime contests.
A Win Nonetheless: Featuring 19 second half points, a season-low 45 field goal attempts and a season-high 21 turnovers, it certainly wasn't the prettiest of wins, but it counts just the same. Arizona held Washington State scoreless over the last 2:34 of regulation and 2:02 in overtime in erasing four- and three-point deficits, respectively and earn the one-point win. In that span, Arizona held WSU to 0-of-4 shooting and forced two turnovers.
A Career Night: Senior center Channing Frye proved to be the difference in Thursday's game, as he connected on 11-of-13 field goals en route to a career high 26 points. The 6-foot-11 Frye added eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 43 minutes. The effort raised his season field goal percentage to 51.6 percent (162-of-314).
Elite Company: Frye's 26 points Thursday vaulted him past Chris Mills into 10th place on the Arizona career scoring list with 1,621 points. In 124 career games, Frye is averaging 13.1 points per game. Now that Frye has joined Salim Stoudamire near the top of UA's career scoring list, it marks the first time since 1998 that two active Wildcats were top-10 career scorers. Seven years ago, Michael Dickerson (1,791 points) and Miles Simon (1,664) were the last to accomplish the feat.
Last Line of Defense: Center Channing Frye tallied four blocked shots in Thursday's win, marking the fifth time this season he has had four or more blocks in a game. The interesting part is that all five have come in his last 11 games played.
Heating Up: Arizona has scored 90 or more points in four of the last seven games, a pace that has boosted the Wildcat season scoring average to 79.4 points per game. In 16 conference games, Arizona has topped the 90-point plateau seven times and is averaging 83.2 points per game, a figure that is 10.4 points per game higher than the opposition.
Three for the Show: Channing Frye became just the third player in Arizona history to collect 900 career rebounds. Frye, who currently ranks third in UA history with 905 rebounds, has a career average of 7.3 rebounds per game. He trails only Al Fleming, who grabbed 1,190 career boards from 1973-76, and Bob Elliott, who collected 1,083 career caroms between 1974-77.
Playing From Behind: The Wildcats didn't let a 32-30 halftime deficit bother them on the way to victory on Thursday. While it was just the ninth time the team trailed at the break, the Cats have rebounded to post a 7-2 mark in those contests, including a 5-1 record in Pac-10 play.
Winning the Close ones: The one-point win over Washington State improved the Arizona record to 6-1 in games decided by five points or less. That's a marked improvement over last season, as the 2003-04 Wildcats were just 4-6 in those games.
A Bad Night Turned Good: Despite hitting just 1-of-7 field goal attempts, Salim Stoudamire managed help in other ways. The senior guard hit 6-of-6 free throws and passed out a season-high four assists to go with a steal in a season-best 38 minutes played. Incidentally, his eight points snapped a streak of 13 consecutive games in double figures.
Streaking: During its current seven-game win streak, Arizona is shooting 52.8 percent (226-of-428) from the field, 45.0 percent (50-of-111) from three-point range, and four of UA's five starters are shooting 53 percent from the field or better in that span. Furthermore, UA is posting a 96-57 scoring advantage from the free throw line, a +6.0 rebound margin and a +15.4 scoring margin.
Controlling the Boards: Arizona is 18-2 this season when outrebounding the opposition, and six times the squad has posted at least a +10 rebound margin. UA has outrebounded 20 of 27 opponents in 2004-05. Last season, Arizona was 16-4 when outrebounding the opposition.
On the Tube: Arizona's March 5 men's basketball game at Arizona State will tip-off at 4 p.m. MST, the Pacific-10 Conference office announced Monday. The contest was selected for national broadcast by Fox Sports Net. It marks Arizona's 17th national television appearance of the season.
Always on the Run: Arizona has made a name for itself with an ability to embark on some large scoring runs. Fourteen times during the 2004-05 season UA has posted a scoring run of more than 15 points. Here is a look at the list:
24 points ?- 38-14 run over 11:33 vs. Oregon, Feb. 17
21 points ?- 29-8 run over 8:58 vs. Manhattan, Dec. 21
19 points ?- 27-8 run over 8:10 vs. Wright State, Nov. 18
19 points ?- 22-3 run over 8:49 vs. Richmond, Dec. 30
19 points ?- 19-0 run over 4:10 at UCLA, Feb. 12
18 points ?- 20-2 run over 8:11 vs. San Diego, Nov. 16
18 points ?- 22-4 run over 7:50 vs. California, Feb. 3
18 points ?- 31-13 run over 9:59 vs. Oregon State, Feb. 20
17 points ?- 25-8 run over 10:15 vs. Eastern Washington, Dec. 28
16 points ?- 18-2 run over 5:00 vs. Wyoming, Nov. 30
16 points ?- 23-7 run over 5:59 vs. Manhattan, Dec. 21
16 points ?- 21-5 run over 5:12 vs. Arizona State, Jan. 2
16 points ?- 16-0 run over 4:24 at Oregon, Jan. 20
16 points ?- 29-13 run over 10:56 vs. Stanford, Feb. 5
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of UA success, as the squad is 139-16 (.897) since the start of the 1997-98 season when scoring at least 80 points. The Cats are 15-0 this season when topping the 80-point plateau.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed three student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period. Fendi Onobun (F, 6-7, 215) from Houston, Texas, Alief Taylor High School; J.P. Prince (G, 6-6, 183) from Memphis, Tenn., White Station High School; and Marcus Williams (F, 6-6, 190) from Seattle, Wash., Roosevelt High School, will join the squad next fall.

We saw Trenton Ducati fuck Blue Bailey raw up his ass last week, but the awaited second part promises even more mind-blowing gay bareback sex! This week we see Trenton drop his pants, flash his huge muscular ass, and bend over for Blue Bailey's raw cock. Trenton is a truly versatile guy -- he's just as good at taking bare dick as he is at giving it, and he gives Lucas Entertainment a show the studio won't soon forget! The amount of sweat Trenton Ducati and Blue Bailey generate as they have bareback sex is incredible, but for all of the ass pumping they do, it's no surprise!
Tags: LWS-21
Blue Baily brings a lot of experience in gay bareback porn to Lucas Entertainment, and he's the performer matched with Trenton Ducati for his first on-screen barebacking debut! Blue was originally born in Las Vegas, Nevavda, which might explain where porn inspiration started, and he has since moved to San Francisco to help build his career. When eh's not having gay bareback sex on camera, he's working as a bartender and managing a restaurant. But when he is fucking on camera, he loves to bottom and loves it even more when he's rimmed, getting his hole pounded out raw, and then felching! Blue Bailey fantasies about one day getting caught up in a gay bareback gang bang of 21 guys (more are welcome) and he has a special taste for muscle daddies covered in ink and sporting huge dicks!
Houston-born gay porn star Trenton Ducati is blessed with a killer body ripped with muscles and classic good looks. Trenton is truly versatile in bed -- he loves to suck cock and take a dick up his ass as much as he loves to kick back for a deep and wet blowjob before bending a guy over and fucking him like a ravenous animal. The one thing Trenton loves about sex more than anything else is the pure ecstasy of ejaculation!

I own a lot of bareback movies even from other porn sites.
But according to my opinion this is the best bareback movie ever.
The first scene with Trenton Ducati and Blue Bailey is so horny. Both eating each others ass and both fucking each other. Both eating cum.
I love the switch between fucking and rimming. And i love to watch the sweaty bodies while they fuck each other.
A horny movie with only horny scenes.

Associated Press
BROWNSVILLE, Ohio
Seventeen dogs poisoned with antifreeze at an Ohio family's kennels are still showing some problems but have returned home after veterinarians used intravenous vodka to counteract the poison's effect.
The Columbus Dispatch reports it could be a while before Licking County breeder Don Butts of Blue Ribbon Labradors knows how his dogs will be affected.
His family and veterinarians tried to help the dogs with the old-school vodka remedy. One dog died, another lost significant weight, and a third is moving slowly and having trouble breathing.
Investigators have no leads in the animals' poisoning last week at the kennels on a rural property about 45 miles east of Columbus.
What kind of POS poisons dogs? If these animals were confined when this happened something is even more disturbing. I just don't understand how people can be so cruel to hurt an animal that isn't a problem. I hope they catch those responsible and punish them severely. Even though we live in the country we have made the decision to never leave our dog out when we are not home. These stories always bother me.
A crazy world we live in...

The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd
by Sir Walter Ralegh
Analysis: Sound Check
Horse-Drawn Cart
Whoa Nelly! We at Shmoop think that this poem sounds exactly like a horse pulling a cart over an old country road. And, lucky you, we're going to show you why.
The meter is regular and predictable, just like the hooves of a horse. It plods along at a relatively steady pace, not overwhelming the content, but complementing it nicely. And the deviations from the meter, like the one we see in "Time drives our flocks" (5)? We think those little changes match up perfectly with the rugged, unpredictable, occasionally hilly terrain of our country road.
The tone is a little tired—"flowers do fade"—like rejecting this shepherd is just one item on a huge laundry list of things our nymph has to take care of that day (9). The slow tempo of a workhorse matches it perfectly.
The poetic devices—like alliteration, consonance, and internal rhyme—don't contribute musicality to this poem like they do in "The Passionate Shepherd." Instead, Ralegh uses them ironically, and uses normally smooth, melodic poetic devices to deliver a biting mockery of Marlowe's pastoral world.
Take the alliteration of the F sound, for example: in Marlowe's poem, the alliterating F is used to describe happy, peaceful flocks being fed by the loving couple. We hear about caps of flowers, waterfalls, fine wool, and fragrant posies. Ralegh alliterates the same, soft F, but instead describes flocks in the fold, flowers fading and the death of once-wanton fields. The pastoral countryside of the shepherd is reduced to nothing more than fancy or folly, two things also scorned by the nymph. To us, the inversion of these poetic devices sounds like the crack of a whip. It drives the poem forward, but it's definitely meant to sting.

Where to Find Indy LC, Loom & Zak256 Demos for FM Towns?
I am eager to know where I can find the three "double demos" released for the FM Towns system (showing off the games mentioned in the title). They were once hosted on Mojo's server; however, that appears to be the only place where they were available on the Internet.
Is there anyone who has these demos who can mirror them on webspace or is willing to e-mail them to me?
(I'd rather wait to get a response before giving out my e-mail address.)
Thanks in advance.

OPSU Hammers Out Two Big Softball Wins
- by Scott Puryear of OPSU Sports on 04-12-07
Goodwell, Okla. - The Oklahoma Panhandle State softball team brought some strong pitching and fielding, along with some loud bats, to their double header sweep of New Mexico Highlands on Wednesday afternoon on the OPSU field.
LADY AGGIES 9 NM, Highlands 1
The Lady Aggies put the Cowgirls away with a big six-run fifth inning. OPSU hurler Teena Joos pitched a complete game and did not walk a batter, while giving up just a single run. OPSU picked up their seventh win of the season by a convincing 9-1 margin.
Roxie Palacios and Denise Degenhardt each had two hits for OPSU and third baseman Antonia Ramirez had two RBIs. Connie Heiniger and Krystal Comeaux each scored twice for the Lady Aggies.
LADY AGGIES 11, NM Highlands 6
In the second game, New Mexico Highlands held a 6-4 lead after 5-1/2 innings, but a bases loaded triple by Roxie Palacios and a solo home run by Krystal Comeaux led the Lady Aggies to an exciting 11-6 victory.
Eight different OPSU players recorded hits with Palacios, Comeaux, and Denise Degenhardt each getting two.
Palacios, a hard working catcher from Crosby, Texas entered the double header as one of the best hitters in the Heartland Conference with a .306 batting average. In the two Wednesday games, the freshman had four hits in seven at-bats and drove in five runs.
With the two wins, the Lady Aggies raised their season record to 8-33.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by anastasiamariep High quality with low cost Super comfortable and sturdy, this took only ~15 minutes to put together. It has the great wicker look without the weathering....and it doesn't look or feel like the cheap plastic you see all around. Wish the cushions were a little darker in material (they're a really light cream) but they seem to be well made. The wingback portion sold us so we can rest our heads. Really love the unique styling as well. Hoping this holds up as well as our other peices from world market that we've had for years!! May 30, 2014

How can we decide how a group is decomposed as a direct sum of cyclic $p$-groups from the character table? Assume the group is finite abelian and that we know the complex character table.
Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Sign up
Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The number of irreducible characters will tell you the order of the group. Then, for each prime $p$ dividing the order of the group, and each $r$, the number of characters of order $p^r$ gives you the number of group elements of order $p^r$. And once you know the number of elements of each order, you can get the decomposition into a direct sum of cyclic $p$-groups.

Setting Up Proper Caching and Performance Enhancement
Using a cache is a typical method of increasing performance. We saw in Tutorial 7, "Memory," how a cache improves the performance of memory and CPU processing. There are two ways in which you can increase the performance of your drives through caching. The first is to properly set up your VCACHE, and the second is to tune your drives' cache. You can also increase performance by properly setting your swap file size.
The VCACHE that comes with Windows 95 is quite different from that which comes with Windows 3.x. The big difference is that the cache is "sized dynamically." As Windows needs more RAM, it takes away from the cache and vice-versa. Unfortunately, the cache-sizing algorithms are very slow, especially when used with the swap file. Therefore, the swap file needs to be limited in size. Windows does not allow any direct control over the VCACHE settings for the hard disk drive. The SYSTEM.INI commands can be changed to limit this. To set the best VCACHE size, type the following in the [386Enh] section:
where X is one-fourth the size of your RAM, expressed in kilobytes.
Tuning the Hard Disk Drive Cache
Tuning the hard disk drive cache is a simple process. Access the System properties (the same way as for the Device Manager) and select the Performance tab. From this window, select the File Systems button at the bottom.
There are now three tabs to choose from for File System Performance: Hard Disk, CD-ROM, and Troubleshooting.
The Hard Disk Tab
This tab selects the role of the machine. (See Figure 16.13.) Choose the most common role for the computer and select OK.
Figure 16.13 Hard Disk tab
The following choices are available on the Hard Disk tab:
- Desktop Computer: Typical for a desktop computer; assumes there is more than the minimum required RAM. Don't select this if you want improved system performance.
- Mobile or Docking System: This configuration assumes a minimum amount of RAM and that the computer is running on batteries.
- Network Server: This configuration assumes there is more than 16 MB of RAM and frequent hard disk access. This system is optimized for increased hard disk activities. Select this to improve system performance.
The CD-ROM Tab
The Windows settings for CD-ROMs are fine as long as you are willing to give up a lot of hard disk drive space to the CD cache. Try setting the CD-ROM to a lower setting by trying the Double-Speed Drives setting for all drives. (See Figure 16.14.) Unless you run a lot of video from your CD-ROM drive, you will not notice any difference in CD performance and will get back a megabyte of hard drive space.
Figure 16.14 CD-ROM tab
The Troubleshooting Tab
This tab is for advanced users only. (See Figure 16.15.) It allows the user to disable several functions, therefore helping the troubleshooter isolate problems.
Figure 16.15 Troubleshooting tab
Setting Up the Swap File
Access the Virtual Memory option on the System Properties window. This option sets the optimal swap-file size, shrinks the information file that tells MS-DOS 7 how to boot up, and tells the computer which drive and directory to use for the swap file. Learning these options will help you time and time again.
The "Let Windows manage my virtual file settings (recommended)" option is fine, provided you have the hard disk drive space to spare. Windows 95 will shrink the swap file if you need to save data to the drive, but very slowly. Also, Windows 95 seems to occasionally save data to the swap file even when there is plenty of room to load it in physical memory. Windows 95 does not even use all of the allocated swap file.
Set the swap file manually to get better performance. Use the following table as a guideline:
|Available RAM
|Swap File Size
|None unless required by an application

Midweek Notes (PDF) | Spring Break Trip podcast | @NIU_Baseball (Twitter)NORTHERN ILLINOIS (2-12) vs. MURRAY STATE (6-9)
* - www.OVCDigitalNetwork.comNORTHERN ILLINOIS PROJECTED PITCHING ROTATION
LEAD OFFS• Alex Klonowski threw his second-straight complete game at Southern Illinois March 9.• Tommy Hook recorded a hit in each of the Huskies three games at SIU with two sacrifice bunts.• Freshman reliever Bobby Kuntzendorf will make his first career start Tuesday.KLONO GOES THE DISTANCE... AGAINNorthern Illinois pitcher/second baseman Alex Klonowski (Kearney, Mo.) pitched a complete game Saturday at Southern Illinois, his second-straight, in the Huskies 3-2 loss to the Salukis. Klonowski scattered 10 hits and struck out three batters, allowing two walks and three runs to become the first NIU pitcher since Trevor Feeney in 2007, a Detroit Tigers draftee, to complete two-consecutive starts.HOOK, LINE AND SINKERFreshman Tommy Hook (Lockport/Lockport Township) was Northern Illinois' model of consistency at Southern Illinois as he batted 3-for-8 in his three starts with two sacrifice hits and two runs. He finished with an on-base percentage of .444 and recorded a hit in each game. Hook made two starts in left field and another at second base. He leads NIU in batting average at .350.WELLS INCHING CLOSERSenior Jamison Wells (Combined Locks, Wis./Kimberly) is inching closer to breaking the all-time stolen bases record at Northern Illinois with 68 in his career. So far this season, the NIU center fielder has four stolen bases and has averaged 26 the last two seasons. Alvin Maynard (1979-80) set the record in his two seasons with the Huskies 71.JOHN OLERUD AWARD WATCH LIST WORTHY?Junior Alex Klonowski has been a solid two-way player for the Huskies since his arrival in 2011, appearing in 85 games on the diamond with 43 appearances on the mound. "Klono" sports a .286 batting average, has 14 hits and leads NIU in RBI (8). On the mound he sports a 1-3 record, a 3.86 ERA in 28 innings with a team-high 19 strikeouts. The John Olerud Award is given to the top Division I player who excels on the mound and in the field.BARNSTORMING TOURNorthern Illinois is currently on its spring break trip/barnstorming tour. While on their 10-day quest, the Huskies will travel from DeKalb, to Carbondale, to Murray, Ky., to Nashville, Tenn., and back - a total of 1,144 miles on the road - to play Southern Illinois, Murray State, Belmont and Lipscomb.40 YEARS LATERIn March 1973, the Huskies went on a spring break trip Tennessee to take on Belmont, Lipscomb, Middle Tennesse and Vanderbilt. This year, NIU will again head to Nashville to take on Belmont and Lipscomb. The Huskies went 1-1 with Lipscomb and defeated Belmont on the trip that year.A SOLID WEEKEND ROTATIONThe weekend pitching rotation for Northern Illinois arguably had its first complete series as all three starters pitched well enough to win. Starters Eli Anderson (Glenview/New Trier), Alex Klonowski and Jordan Ruckman (Kankakee/Herscher) combined for 21 innings pitched, seven strikeouts, a 1.38 WHIP and an ERA of 3.00 against Southern Illinois Friday and Saturday.BROTHERS BADGLEYSenior Zach Badgley (McHenry, Ill.) is the fourth and final Badgley brother to play for Northern Illinois in 2013. All pitchers, the Badgley era began in 1997 with Dan playing through 2001, followed by Mark (2003-07) and Nick (2008-09). Mark was named to Collegiate Baseball's Freshman All-America team in 2003 when he set the program record for saves with 14. Nick also appeared as an outfielder. All told on the mound, the Badgley's have accounted for 212 appearances (the equivalant of every game over 3.8 years), 31 starts, 496.0 innings pitched (an entire season), 19 saves and six complete games.SCOUTING THE BREDSMurray State owns a 6-9 record entering the series with NIU following a 2-1 series defeat to Morehead State in the Breds' Ohio Valley opening series. MSU is 3-0 versus MAC opponents this season after sweeping Bowling Green at home Feb. 22-24, 3-0. A territorial group, Murray State is 5-3 at home. Brandon Eggenschwiler and Ty Stetson lead the Huskies at the plate with a .362 and .333 batting average, respectively, and combine for a .407 on-base percentage. Seven different pitchers have started games on the mound this season. Freshman Andrew Bramley sports a 0.53 ERA in 17.0 innings.NEXT UPThe Huskies will close their spring break trip this weekend at the Music City Tournament where they'll face Belmont and Lipscomb.

ST LOUIS (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – The Bethenny Frankel Skinnygirl Class Action lawsuit will continue into at least 2014, LALATE can exclusively report. Bethenny Frankel's talk show is set to debut its new season. But at the same time that Bethenny will be chatting during daytime about other people's issues, her issues in an Illinois federal court are still ongoing. In fact, Bethenny Frankel is set to still be a personal defendant in the class action lawsuit until at least 2014, LALATE can exclusively report.
Bethenny Frankel is being sued personally along with her Skinnygirl Cocktails, LLC and others in the Northern District of Illinois by Amy Langendorf. Frankel has not spoken recently about the case. The judge ordered this July, however, that counsel for the plaintiff must agree to be "bound by the protective order in Stewart".
Bethenny and her co-defendants' opposition to classification of a class action won't be due until next year, LALATE can exclusively report. The court ordered just days ago that Bethenny and her co-defendants' "opposition brief will be filed on or before January 31, 2014, and Plaintiff shall file her reply, if any, on or before February 14, 2014."
The attempt at class certification has remained in dispute through much of 2013, and will continue into next year. Recently the court noted that "In light of the voluminous discovery as to class certification issues, Plaintiff is granted leave to file a renewed motion for class certification, together with an agreed briefing schedule… Defendants shall not make any individual settlement offer to Plaintiff, or any opt-in plaintiffs, until the time Plaintiff files a renewed motion for class certification." Bethenny is set to have experts on her talk show starting this fall. And her own defense experts in this lawsuit are being deposed later this month as well, the court has revealed.

Growth and Conjunctions
By stern on Sep 05, 2006
Those who claim that we are diluting our growth by focusing on social issues imply this is an either-or proposition. One of my favorite rabbis likes to say that most of the major conflicts on our globe are caused by "either-or" statements when a "both-and" conjunction would be acceptable. Applying either-or propositions too broadly causes you to miss potential markets. Those start-ups that recognize network users as both creators and consumers of content rather than separating the world into artists (who must be paid) and audiences (who must do the paying) are defining "Web 2.0" interactions. From the number of social web site icons dotting blog postings, it seems like the both-ands may be winning.
I believe Sun can both generate growth and deliver network services to largley unserved communities because they are merely different facets of the same problem. It's about cost of acquisition, cost of operation, availability of developers (who have their own cost of acquisition and operation), and network access (which is a function of, you guessed it, cost of acquisition and operation). Good things happen when you make the technology accessible by focusing on power, space, environmentals and cost. Services get built on top of that technology platform.
This isn't purely a technological postulate. Cameron Sinclair and Kate Stohr have shown with Architecture for Humanity that you can build low-cost housing out of local materials and have it feel like home. The designs captured in Sinclair's book Design Like You Give a Damn rely on disruptions to the economic assumptions make about housing in disrupted areas.
As a homework assignment a few weeks ago, Jonathan asked a number of people "What is the one thing about Sun about which you brag?" (his participles dangled but no English teachers were invited; no harm, no foul). I've learned something about these simple-sounding questions -- either you have a killer answer that jumps right out, or you're better off shutting up. I had what I thought was a killer answer -- I brag that Sun has, and will continue to, disrupt the economics of our industry. General purpose Unix workstations in the early 80s. General purpose multiprocessing servers and scalable I/O in the 90s. Zero cost of acquisition software, including developer tools, in the naughties.
The day we run out of things to disrupt is the day I worry that we're out of story. Before then, I'm confident we'll see that the participants in the Participation Age are both those who are networked (today) and those in non-consumptive, non-networked parts of the world (today). The both-and implies growth.

Selena Gomez Arrives at MTV Video Awards (VMA)
Yet another Hollywood tempt devil arrives at the MTV VMA Awards. This time the short skirt belongs to an 'actress' named Selena Gomez.
I wished I could get closer because I would have enforced the Mexican Illegal Immigration Act and arrested her under authority of La Migra. You can cleaerly see that she has on a hooker's dress and there are no pockets on it. She does not have a purse, meaning she does not have her green card on her and could be an illegal.
Before you liberal claptraps try to say how do I know she is illegal, let me ask you how do you know she is legal? That's the point, you don't, and therefore Gomez is guilty of violating the immigration act. She needs proof of belonging on her at all times or face jail time, and if she can produce no card, back to Mexico.
Wearing dresses like this, she's one step away from Mexican filth and therefore only two away from hell as is. Peeth. That's me spitting. Peeth. I spit on the ground she walks on in this short skirt and exposed sallybean pod!
[picappgallerysingle id="9750710″]Here we see the camera man conspirting with Gomez, trying to make everything seem moral and normal. Oh look! She has on no shimmy pants under that short skin tight skirt that you can see her sin fish cave prints through!

Plugin Vulnerabilities
Reduce Your Risk
Plugins provide a lot of functionality but, depending on their quality, they can provide unwanted security issues as well. We show you how to protect yourself from plugins.
Open source software never ceases to amaze me. Of all the things I have ever encountered (with the possible exception of Legos) nothing can be so easily modified, changed, molded, extended, and otherwise improved. With many programs explicitly supporting external plugins and extensions, this process has become even easier. Some examples include Firefox, TYPO3, WordPress, and, of course, the Linux kernel.

Obsidian Actively Pitching Star Wars RPG (set between III and IV)
I'm glad that their pitch for a Star Wars RPG is set during the "saga era". I like KotOR quite a lot, but the setting was what I liked the least. Still, my wish for a Star Wars RPG helped me to get over it.
I didn't like KotOR II that much, and let's hope that if this ever gets done, Avellone won't put any "anti-Force" stance on some characters.
Presumably they are making this info public to try and put some pressure on Disney to approve it. Unsurprising given their track record and the fact that they are constantly teetering on the precipice of bankruptcy.
KotOR II was awesome. :carms: It's pretty much what I've been saying of late: give up KotOR III, as it's not going to happen, but let Obsidian try their hands on another period in time. To be honest, I'd rather have something other than the movie era again (don't forget, that period of time between III and IV, with Jedi being hunted, isn't too dissimilar to the setting of KotOR II), but I'll take whatever they can make happen. I'm still not really holding my breath, but it's nice they are coming out saying they really want to make another Star Wars RPG.
I would have preferred something around the Bane period myself. Pretty much equidistant from the KOTOR and movie timeframes and virtually unencumbered by canon, enough to have almost complete narrative freedom. You could go either side of the Rule of Two depending on what you were going for - before if you wanted an extant Sith presence on the level of KOTOR, or after if you wanted a more low key affair less focused on everyone having glow sticks.
What I'd really like to see is a proper Sith/Dark Side focused game, one that isn't just about killing randoms because that's what "evil" types do. Something that charts your rise from apprentice to seizing the mantle of Master, then recruiting your own apprentice (and maybe being taken down by them as a nice way to end).
Ugh, this time period is so overused it's not even funny. I'll keep my eyes and ears open though.
TSL to me is the most compelling Star Wars game. I actually think a RPG set in the timeframe between III and IV could be very intriguing written by Avellone. Character hunted by the empire, feels abandoned and betrayed by the Jedi and the Republic offers many options to character development and Avellone's shades of grey in the morality spectrum. I don't think a story like that would really need to focus much on movie cannon beyond the Jedi are gone and the empire has taken over. PC would likely start off as a padawan whose master saves him during order 66, but he watches his master be butchered by those that were his/her allies. To me this would bring out all types of conflicts between who to trust and Jedi teaching. Very similar to many of the teaching in Kreia in TSL, do you help the family farm being overrun by pirates, or does involvement bring the risk of bringing down the wrath of the Empire. NPC reaction would also be very interesting; they were told the Jedi tried to overthrow the government. So figuring out who could help you and who would turn you in over the reward would be another great element.
So if they are going to make a game about survival, both of the PC and the good people within the empire, then I can't think of a better time period. However, if they want to make a cliché game about saving the galaxy, then look somewhere else. It shouldn't be about making the ultimate jedi/sith, it would have to be about character development and morality conflict to be good. Making another Revan clone would just destroy cannon. Making something more about looking for survivors, teachers and looking for holocron to finish the PC's training to improve odds of survival or gain power for revenge while being hunted by bounty hunters and imperial forces would be interesting to me particularly with Avellone's normal morality choices.
Loot: Mace Windu's lightsaber (plus hand). :p
between 4 and 5, eh? the old school star wars galaxy player (before they bent over and decided to change the whole game which eventually made it fail) likes and dislikes this idea, but i would say do it in the era of the imperial knights when they are considered the good guys to an extent, work a story around that, i would fund that project if i could heh
I want Obsidian Entertainment to rewrite the prequels and make them an RPG. I wager my idea has as much chance as Obsidian's.
Well, either between 3 and 4 or 50-100+ years after 6 (presumably taking you past the time lines in the most recent books). Something not too bogged down in cannon, thus giving the writers wriggle room. Preferably single player (w/mmo option for those so inclined).
I really don't get the appeal of a distant timeline from the movies. I mean, sure it doesn't give any room for a "save the galaxy" story, but not every story has to be that way. I'd rather have something during the movie timeline and be much more relatable than have something hundreds of years before/after them only to have a visual style too similar to the films because otherwise people wouldn't see it as Star Wars (and rightfully so).
Hmm.... sounds interesting. I remember reading at least 2 books of "The Last of the Jedi" series which I remember enjoying. Maybe the might have some bits about that?
I don't really like the idea of another piece of SW media in that time period, but at this point I'm just happy people want to make more Star Wars games. It's been too long.
This could be interesting. Perhaps play as a Jedi trying to hide from the Empire? I'd hope, being an RPG, it would focus less on the THRILLER CHASE, and more on things like the psychological stress involved in being a hunted fugitive. Things like having a love interest, and trying to keep them out of harm's way (harm, which arguably follows you around)?
On the general subject of SW games, I'm hoping that there'll be Star Wars mods for Star Citizen. Hopefully Star Citizen's hypothetical success would spur LA into considering a proper Star Wars flight sim.
Also, obligatory SW wantlist:
1. KotOR 3*
2. Jedi Knight 4
3. Republic Commando 2
4. Battlefront 3.
*Yeah, I know unlikely it is.
I'm definitely not interested in a between-trilogies game. We've already had two extremely crappy The Force Unleashed games in that period and, well, the "crappy" part says it all.
One of the things I liked about the first KoTOR game was the setting. Everything looked different, but still quite familiar and still Star Wars, so I'm more interested in a game set either long before the movies, or long after them, as those periods allow for more creative freedom, both visual and otherwise. Of course, Jedi Knight 3 is a must (I consider Jedi Academy to be a stand-alone expansion to Jedi Outcast), regardless of anything else.
I ate a crappy hamburger once that does not mean I given up eating food. :xp:
You could give up on hamburgers though. :)
Still bull****ing with the best of them.
Let us hope.
Let us pray.
I'd definitely be up for another Obsidian RPG.
Being one of the people that preferred TSL to Kotor 1 i'd very happily buy another Obsidian SW RPG but like igyman I am not interested in the setting of in between the PT and OT. That area's well covered already.
Seeing as there's going to be a sequel trilogy wouldn't it make more sense for them to do a RPG between episodes VI and VII?
that's what i'd like to see anyway.
TSL might have been well written, it was incomplete, full of bugs and not very Star Wars-ish except for the lightsabers. I always got the feeling that the SW environment and setting were forced on the writer in TSL... K1, despite its flaws, captured the OT SW spirit a lot better IMHO. Sometimes trying to add too much depth to something like KotOR feels even more artificial...
I'd rather see a different time period explored. Like maybe between 1500-2000 years before Anakin Skywalker.
I'd like a game set in the Legacy era. Dark Horse has created some awesome stuff there!
I'd like a game that is based on one of my KotOR III stories, preferably V2. Like and share, spread the word and the big fish of Disney will not be able to resist mwuhahaha.
It's possible since a lot of what gets popular these days is fan fiction quality stuff :xp:
Hahahaha thanks for giving me hope. Star Wars The Lord of Chaos: A New Hope... For the Final Nail in the KotOR Coffin.
Seriously though, I'm proud of my work, I love it, but that's probably just because I'm kind of a narcissist.
New Kotor 2 like RPG, but set between EPIII and IV, cool. I hope it has the mad Jedi Joruus C' Baoth. He's awesome.:cool:
I have long since been of the opinion that a solid Star Wars game is best set in a relatively unexplored space of time. THat is part of the reason people bought KOTOR.
That's true, but what era would we be talking about if this were to happen?
I'm far from alone when I say I'd love more Star Wars RPGs. Single player, that is. Star Wars + RPG = GOLD, I just hope the dialogue system stays the same instead of that freaking Mass Effect style system.
Anyway, Star Wars is perfect for RPGs. I love the ambiguity Obsidian provided, but I also love a good old fashioned, black and white, epic struggle between the Jedi and the Sith.
Gimme a blaster or a lightsaber and put me in a galaxy far, far away and I'm happy. I really hope something comes of this because a new Star Wars RPG would probably be super fun no matter what the story ends up being.
Another option would be to explore the time period that is much farther in the future with an rpg. It would open up a way to move past all the current muddle of canon.

Have you done your taxes yet?
I guess these types of loans are how h&r block stays I. Business. That is crazy to take a loan like that.
If you are getting that much back and needed $1k that badly you would be better off adjusting your withholdings. Your withholdings are obviously off way too much!
no longer a dietcoke addict, too lazy to change my name!
Oh snap! You better call them back, fast! Because they can't issue that check until 8-21 days AFTER the IRS accepts your return, which won't be for 2 more weeks! You might get in trouble! Oh noes!

The rabid attention to the little things was paired with thinking that some thought "too big." Many in the city wondered why Daley pressed the ultimately unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Olympics at a time when the city could not afford to hire more cops or improve schools.
But a walk along the Chicago River shows how the big-thinking Daley helped transition the city from its industrial past into booming hub of international commerce. There are the headquarters of Boeing Co. and United Continental, corporations he lured with millions in financial incentives. There is Donald Trump's 98-story tower, slipped neatly into the city's world-famous skyline. There is Groupon, a billion-dollar web sensation that leads a pack of dozens of start-ups sprouting across the city.
It's also in the city's neighborhoods, many of which evolved during his time in office as Daley helped a city with blue-collar sensibility become a magnet for young professionals. When Christopher Kennedy — the son of Robert F. Kennedy, head of Chicago's giant Merchandise Mart and chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees — arrived in the city in 1986, "there were only two or three neighborhoods your parents would want you to live in."
"Now there are 25 or 30," Kennedy said. "I don't know that any city in America is like that."
But as the city's Loop and surrounding neighborhoods prospered in the past decade, areas on the city's South and West Sides lost population. Roughly 200,000 residents, many African Americans, left neighborhoods that didn't share in downtown's success.
Those slices of the city continue to struggle "with many of the same forces that were bearing down on them 15 to 20 years ago — poor schools, the shortage of affordable housing," said Alex Kotlowitz, a Chicago journalist and writer whose book 1992 book "There Are No Children Here" exposed the horrors of a child's life in the city's public housing.
Daley tore down those housing projects, ironically erected by his father, and aimed to improve the city's public schools by seizing control of the system in 1995. While he succeeded in balancing the district's nearly $3 billion budget, getting students to schools safely is a lingering problem left for his replacement to solve.
"If we don't get education right, then I think we continue to relegate our children to futures that are hopeless and that only further increases the burden on the rest of society," said Tim King, head of Urban Prep Academies, a private network of all-boys schools that for the second year in a row sent every senior — students from some of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods — into a four-year college or university.
The next mayor won't start from a position of financial strength. The combination of the nation's economic downturn made for an ugly combination with what critics say is a municipal government that under Daley lived beyond its means. One of Daley's solutions backfired when the city burned through all but a fraction of the $1.15 billion it received in 2008 in return for a 75-year lease of the city's parking meters — money that was supposed to last the city nearly a century.
"The person is walking into a city that is broke and they're going to have to make some tough financial decisions," said the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Church in Chicago. "They have to be careful those decisions are not made on the back of social programs and poor people that are already desperate."
Daley also leaves a city government that's still known as a place where it pays off to be the mayor's buddy, where people land plum jobs for no other reason than they "know a guy who knows a guy." While the prosecutors have reined in the political machine built by his father, the outgoing mayor has seen top aides end up behind bars, including one convicted for handing out patronage jobs years after federal decrees outlawed the practice.
Many say they're watching closely who the next mayor brings in to run the schools, police force and other key departments. And in contrast with Daley — who Tigerman called "a benign dictator" — the new mayor may actually have to work with a newly recast 50-member City Council, instead of simply telling them what to do.
The election is expected to bring in a big cast of new aldermen, who won't be as beholden to whoever is elected mayor. In the years before Daley was first elected in 1989, a council ensnared by racial division earned the city another nickname: "Beirut on the Lake."
That ability to lead a city as diverse as Chicago might just come down to the new mayor finding a way to become as likable as the old mayor.
Carlos Tortelero, president of the National Museum of Mexican Art in the city's Pilsen neighborhood, said Chicago liked Daley because he mangled sentences and still teared up when asked about his 2-year-old son three decades after the boy died.
And residents liked the fact that the mayor was up at 6 a.m., riding around the city looking for lots filled with seagulls, rats running through alleys and any other thing that needed to be fixed to keep Chicago "The City That Works."
"It's a city where a person will brag that my father worked at the steel mills. That whole family connection is important in Chicago and Mayor Daley exudes that," he said. "Whoever the next mayor is, they need to connect to that."

St. Louis Cathedral : Michelin's recommendations
This handsome structure ranks as the oldest continuously operating cathedral in the US. Dedicated in 1851, the present structure is actually the third church on this site; a fire destroyed the first one, and the second version collapsed during a renovation in 1849. The cathedral as you see it now is built of wood covered with stucco, rather than stone like its European counterparts. Although the outside of the structure is grander than the inside, it's worth stepping in for a look or to take one of the free 15-minute tours offered several times a day.

Not-so-risky business
Daniel Berman
Built in the mid-1960s, the Factoria Transfer Station in Bellevue will be replaced with a larger and enclosed facility. The project's expected to cost the King County (Wash.) Solid Waste Division $90 million.
Rogers (left) and Hague at one of King County's 10 transfer stations.
King County Dept. of Natural Resources and Parks
Working in or near private right-of-ways is another major cost risk factor for seemingly straightforward projects like trail creation.
King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks
To the layman, existing utilities are a straightforward aspect of construction. But they're a potential complication that can greatly affect project cost.
To lower the number of truck trips to and from the factility and improve payload efficiency, King County's new Factoria Transfer Station will have a garbage compactor.
If managed rigorously, legislators and constituents celebrate a project that was delivered as close to budget and deadline as expected.
One basic challenge was defining what constitutes a "high-risk project." Working with the county council and program managers, Rogers came up with:
"Having characteristics that increase the likelihood of a project being completed late or over budget, at a potentially significant financial or other impact to the county."
A joint agency group made up of six high-level appointees from the council and the county executive, plus key policy staff, was formed. Using this definition, the Real Estate and Major Capital Project Review Group formalized reporting procedures and forms and obtained council approval to move forward.
CHART: Project Risk Scores - 2010 to 2012
Ultimately, 15 factors having high, average, and low influence on risk were identified:
An electronic form called the Capital Project Assessment Score Summary is automatically generated and provides a snapshot of most important project information. Project managers complete a questionnaire annually beginning with early in the planning process, before a lot of funding is committed, through the time they set a baseline at the end of preliminary engineering. Results are automatically compiled into a database and submitted to the county clerk and county auditor offices.

Long time, no see, Vampire Diaries fans! That was one long summer hiatus, but we survived it, and we're ready for a brand new episode. So settle down (but don't get too comfortable, as you're bound to be on the edge of your seats before the end) and get ready to find out just what the Fates have in store for Elena and the rest of the gang.
Once you've seen it and shaken yourself back to reality, swing by here to rate the new episode of The Vampire Diaries. Because the forums are no more, all discussion about the episode is welcomed and encouraged in the comments of this post. Just remember, beware of spoilers if you haven't seen the episode yet!
As we mentioned earlier, we're looking for good topics of discussion to feature on the blog. If you've got any ideas, be sure to post them in the comments on the TONIGHT post.
Quick guide to the poll options: Everyone likes to document how their height changes as they grow. We figure a ruler will be big enough for Elena to measure those sharp, new fangs she'll be sporting! 5 rulers = LOVE, 1 ruler = MEH.

Need some more things to keep you occupied this afternoon? Okay! Head over to Zap2it to read what Candice Accola and Joseph Morgan have to say about what's coming up for their characters and whether Caroline will ever change her mind about Klaus. (Warning: The article is a little spoilery, though what we're quoting is not.)
"I think that everyone has a dark side," Candice says. "And I'm not just quoting Kelly Clarkson's song… but it's true. Especially in young relationships, you do compromise yourself, and you do compromise your thoughts and your morals and your beliefs, and not just pertaining to young relationships, but I think that's more common in young relationships. I don't know if I necessarily see Klaus compromising too much… I think there's definitely a possibility that we could see Caroline compromise herself for a relationship."
And then visit TheTelevixen.com for the first two installments of their "Take 5 with The Vampire Diaries" series, with five questions for Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley.
Last but not least, go tell Give Me My Remote about your premiere-watching plans and enter to win a CW Thursday Night Swag Pack full of Vampire Diaries and Beauty and the Beast goodies.

Caroline Dries spoke with The New York Post about tonight's season premiere. As we know, a big issue in tonight's episode is Elena's new condition and where the characters go from where we left off in the Season 3 finale.
Caroline Dries gives us some info about the general themes in tonight's episode, so beware of spoilers if you're trying to go in totally blind.
"Elena has made it very clear she does not want to be a vampire — she thinks it's the worst thing that could happen to her," Dries says.
The TV Chick has 5 things to know about Season 4, and we feel obliged to pass on #5, especially:
So many emotions: Prepare yourselves, folks. Get your tissue boxes ready. The first two episodes have some moments in them that made me tear up the way Parenthood does on a regular basis. The first two episodes of the season are some of the best storytelling of the entire series, and they contain some of the most emotionally resonant moments of the series. Don't say I didn't warn you properly.

As if tonight's season premiere wasn't enough, Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first glimpse of Klaus and Elijah in 12th century garb (and hair!). In the accompanying video, costume designer Leigh Leverett talks about her style choices, and which character's look was deliberately altered a bit from the period norm.
"I look at research from the period and find the best styles… that I think fit our show," Leverett says about the three costumes she created for the episode. "We actually built all of this in our tailor shop."

Photographer Zachary Kaufman reflects on covering Caitlyn Lippolis at The Columbian's new photo blog
Caitlyn Lippolis and her family were featured in a Nov. 4 Columbian story about families struggling to pay for living expenses and medical costs not covered by health insurance.
After the story ran, the community donated more than $2,000 to help the Lippolises make ends meet.
"That's what got us through this month," said Robert Lippolis, Caitlyn's dad. "If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have made it. This community saved us."
With those funds exhausted, the family is trying to come up with the money to pay for Caitlyn's funeral expenses. The family's donation account, the "Caitlyn Lippolis Family Fund," remains open at iQ Credit Union.
Photographer Zachary Kaufman reflects on covering Caitlyn Lippolis at The Columbian's new photo blog
Caitlyn Lippolis and her family were featured in a Nov. 4 Columbian story about families struggling to pay for living expenses and medical costs not covered by health insurance.
After the story ran, the community donated more than $2,000 to help the Lippolises make ends meet.
"That's what got us through this month," said Robert Lippolis, Caitlyn's dad. "If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have made it. This community saved us."
With those funds exhausted, the family is trying to come up with the money to pay for Caitlyn's funeral expenses. The family's donation account, the "Caitlyn Lippolis Family Fund," remains open at iQ Credit Union.
Caitlyn Lippolis had years of living left to do.
Once she had mastered walking with a prosthetic leg — the result of bone cancer in her leg — the 12-year-old planned to ride her bike again, to go swimming. She would start school in Vancouver, her new town, and make new friends. She had books to write, stories to tell, pictures to paint.
But in a month's time, Caitlyn went from a bubbly, optimistic preteen to a girl fighting for her life.
The cancer that took her leg in June took her life Wednesday afternoon. After nine months of doctors, surgeries and chemotherapy, Caitlyn took her last breath just before 2 p.m.
"She had all of us there with her," said Robert Lippolis, Caitlyn's father. "She was not alone."
Caitlyn and the Lippolis family were featured in two Columbian articles published on Nov. 4. The same day the community got a glimpse into the life of a preteen amputee determined to live her life the fullest, the family learned Caitlyn's cancer had been stronger than the chemotherapy.
"The day the article came out was the day we found out this had become terminal," Robert said.
The pain started in the early morning hours of Nov. 3.
Caitlyn told her parents it hurt to take deep breaths. Later in the day, she started running a fever. They took Caitlyn to the hospital, where doctors ran tests for an infection and took an X-ray of her chest.
The X-ray results, and a subsequent CAT scan, blindsided the family. Caitlyn had developed nearly 30 tumors on her lungs, all while undergoing the most aggressive chemotherapy treatment available. Caitlyn's form of cancer, osteosarcoma, doesn't respond to radiation. The number of tumors made surgery impossible.
The oncologist told Robert that Caitlyn had, at most, six months to live. She died 23 days later.
After finding out about the tumors, Caitlyn's health declined quickly, taking her usually upbeat spirit with it.
Robert and the family devoted themselves to Caitlyn, doing whatever it took to make her smile, giving her anything to make her comfortable.
She spent an afternoon on the set of "Grimm," a TV show filmed in Portland, talking to the actors, touring the different sets and watching the crew film scenes. Caitlyn became a loyal "Grimm" fan after meeting a handful of the show's actors a few months ago while she was a patient at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland.
"She had the time of her life," Robert said of the set visit. "She just loved it. It was, by far, one of the best times she's had."
The Make-A-Wish foundation arranged a private screening of the new "Twilight" movie for Caitlyn, her family and a few friends. They rented out a movie parlor at Cinetopia, allowing Caitlyn and her guests to watch the movie in comfort. The foundation also paid for a four-day trip to Seattle for the family.
Caitlyn spent Thanksgiving with a handful of family members, but the holiday was tough for Caitlyn. She couldn't eat and her stomach was swelling, causing her to cry out in pain.
A surgeon at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center eased the pain Friday, draining a liter of the fluid surrounding Caitlyn's lungs. Doctors gave her days to live.
Caitlyn's family didn't leave her side.
"It's so hard to sit in that chair and watch your daughter take a breath and let it out," Robert said. "It's like your heart stops until she takes another one."
"I was afraid the next one she was going to take would be her last," he said.
As Caitlyn neared the end of her life, Robert spent time talking with his daughter about death. He tried to explain to his 12-year-old that there was more for her than life on earth. He told her not to be afraid. He told her something better would come next.
What Robert didn't tell Caitlyn was he was beginning to question those beliefs. Maybe God and heaven are just part of a fairy tale for adults, he reasoned.
"It's a very dark place to go," he said.
But then Caitlyn restored his faith.
While lying in her bed Tuesday, Caitlyn opened her eyes. She told Robert she had just seen Troy, her aunt's dog. Caitlyn didn't know Troy was put down two weeks earlier; the family didn't have the heart to tell her.
"For her to see that re-inspired so much faith that there is something better," Robert said. "It was one of the few things that's given me comfort through this. She's not alone. She's not in darkness. There is something after. She is somewhere better."
Caitlyn is survived by her father; her mother, Jamie Simmons; her stepmother Chrissy Lippolis; her stepfather Kane Clinton; her sisters Ali and Lindsay Lippolis; and her stepsister Taylor Clinton. Funeral services are pending.
