David Napoli Struck Out Five Batters in Six Innings of Work on Thursday Night Versus East Carolina
May 19, 2011
Box Score (PDF) | Season Statistics (PDF)
NEW ORLEANS - An opportunity presented itself on Thursday evening for the Tulane baseball team, but East Carolina escaped nearly unscathed to hand the Green Wave a 5-1 loss in the series opener on Thursday. Trailing 3-0 in the seventh, Tulane loaded the bases and Bowen Woodson drove in an RBI with a walk, but that was all Tulane could get to open their final weekend of the regular season.
"When you get outhit 12-2 and make two errors against a good club with that type of pitching, it is going to be tough to win games," said Tulane head coach Rick Jones. "I thought maybe we were turning some momentum there early, turning the two double plays in the air. We missed out chance in the seventh, we just missed our chance. Bases loaded a one run already in and just one out and then they get a ground ball...You have to credit them for that. That is why there pitching staff has the numbers they do, they make pitches."
David Napoli got the start in the Thursday night affair for Tulane (30-22, 10-12 C-USA)and wiggled off the hook in the first two innings, stranding two runners on base in each frame to keep the game scoreless heading to the third.
East Carolina (35-18, 12-10 C-USA) got the offense started in the third inning as the first three batters reached base via hit, with Trent Whitehead's followed a leadoff double from Corey Thompson with an RBI single to get the scoring started. After a double play accounted for the first two outs, John Wooten's infield single plated the second run of the contest for the visitors.
An unearned run in the seventh inning stretched the lead to 3-0, but Tulane would threaten in the bottom of the inning. Mike Wright rolled through the first six innings, retiring 16 of the 18 batters he faced, but found trouble in the seventh, walking the first two batters on nine pitches before uncorking a wild pitch to the third batter. With the count at 1-0 on Blake Crohan, Brad Mincey entered from the bullpen and walked the sophomore to load the bases.
Woodson worked a full count walk from Mincey to push the first run across the board and Tulane stood in great position to grab the momentum in the contest with the bases loaded and no one out. Mincey got Garrett Cannizaro to chop a ball in front of the mound and the Pirates got the force out at home plate for the first out of the inning. Cody Robinson stepped in and hooked the first pitch he saw from Mincey deep to left field, but the ball drifted foul and Robinson eventually grounded into an inning ending double play.
Napoli worked into the seventh and allowed the three runs - two earned - on nine hits. The left-hander fanned five batters and walked three in six innings of official work and fell to 1-3 overall in the season.
ECU would add a pair of runs in the ninth inning against Tulane relievers Drew Zizinia and Alex Facundus to extend their lead to 5-1. Zizinia would be charged with both runs, allowing them on two hits, while walking three in two and one third innings, and Facundus tossed the final two-thirds of an inning and didn't allow a run with one strikeout.
"All we want to think about now is that we have to win tomorrow," said Jones. "We have to at least win one in this (series) and we need to win two. We have to win tomorrow before we do anything else. I don't want us to think about anything, I just want us to think about tomorrow."
Nick Schneeberger and Nick Boullosa each reached base twice in the game, with Schneeberger and Garrett Cannizaro recording the only hits in the contest for Tulane. Boullosa walked twice, while Jeremy Schaffer scored the lone run of the ball game for the Olive and Blue.
The second game of the series will take place on Friday evening on the turf inside Greer Field at Turchin Stadium, with the Green Wave and Pirates taking to the field for a 6:30 first pitch.

A Morbidly Fascinating Romp That's Equal Parts Entertainment and Instruction (with a dash of creepy thrown in for good measure),
This review is from: The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries (Hardcover)
"Selma Koch, a Manhattan store owner who earned a national reputation by helping women find the right bra size, mostly through a discerning glance and never with a tape measure, died Thursday at Mount Sinai Medical Center. She was 95 and a 34B."
It may take especially thick skin to find a book on the subject of obituaries anything but depressing and morbid, but for those like me who are pre-disposed to finding such things more entertaining and fascinating than frightening this is an appealing topic. Then again, I'm native to the Deep South, where people go on death watch the minute you pick up the phone to make an appointment for a medical check up. In a culture that lives to bake casseroles in anticipation of disaster, any southern cook worth her salt will have water on to boil the instant Uncle Leroy feels the first chest pain, and by the time he hits the floor will have the casserole sitting on his doorstep.
Marilyn Johnson is a woman obsessed by obituaries, and in The Dead Beat she writes about the good, the bad and the ugly of the genre. What makes a good obituary, what makes a bad one, and how can we tell the difference? Burning questions, all of them, and every one is answered in this book, complete with numerous examples of all sorts of tributes. Some are weepy, some are wonderfully catty and some are just plain pathetic, but what they tell us is the subject of death is morbidly fascinating to us all.
Obituaries can also apparently be informative:
"How about Harold von Braunhut, the genius behind sea monkeys? Sea Monkeys, mail-order packets of brine shrimp, shrimp that could be shipped and shelved in dried form, sprang to life when dropped in water; 400 million of them once shot into space with an astronaut. I learned this on the obits page. War, pestilence, bad investment news, and political rants in sections A through D, but there, on the page marked Obituaries - sea monkeys!"
In the midst of all her rapture on the subject of obituaries, Johnson also realizes there's something somewhat off-kilter about her enthusiasm. It may be encouraging to know she does recognize and address this in the course of the book, "How do I say this? I scare nurses. My children are used to it, but fewer of their friends drop by, I've noticed."
The Dead Beat is, strange as it sounds, a great read for those interested in the off-beat, quirky journalism behind obituaries. As reviewer Lisa Grunwald puts it, "Vital reading for anyone who knows a dead person or is likely to become one."
If this doesn't give you a taste for tuna casserole I frankly don't know what will.

It is an absolute dream come true for a figure skater like me to finally glide along a frozen lake while taking in the beauty of the surrounding mountains. For about 20 years prior to this one, all I have known is the musty interiors of an indoor skating rink, so skating on Evergreen Lake this winter has been quite the experience.
Outdoor adventure, laughs and hot chocolate (topped with delicious whipped cream) are abundant at Evergreen Lake House over Denver's colder months. A hub of excitement for beginner and advanced figure and hockey skaters alike, the frozen lake offers picturesque entertainment for the inexpensive rate of just $6 a person (which includes skate rental).
The setting could not be more idyllic and is worth enjoying in both daylight and moonlight. The surrounding mountains embrace the rink and their rich green tones form a natural contrast with the bright white ice.
Take a moment to breathe in the fresh Colorado air and listen to the crisp sound of sharpened blades as they make their mark on the peaceful location.
Avid skater or not, this is a winter must and there is only one week left to indulge in this season's winter wonderland. For more information and directions, please visit the Evergreen Lake House Website.
Warming tip: After skating, head across the lake to Willow Creek Restaurant and toast to your adventures with a glass of Malbec.

Minutemen Looking To Slow Down High-Powered Orange
Sept. 24, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - When the Massachusetts men's soccer team face Syracuse for the first time in program history on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Rudd Field, it will be looking to stop one of the stronger offensive attacks in the country.
UMass (3-3-2) has used its traditionally strong defense to limit scoring opportunities at home this season, allowing an average of just five shots on goal while outscoring the opposition 5-1. The Minutemen were particularly strong in Saturday's 2-0 win over Dartmouth when they held the Big Green to just six shots on goal.
The Minutemen have also seen improvement on offense from a year ago. UMass has nine goals thus far compared to eight during the entire 2011 slate. Head coach Sam Koch's team is also putting a higher percentage of shots on goal as 43 percent have been on target.
Syracuse (7-2) has won five of its last six games, including its Big East opener over Seton Hall on Saturday. The Orange have scored in every game and are averaging 2.4 goals per contest on 15.4 shot attempts. Syracuse's defense is equally as stout, surrendering just five goals with seven shutouts. As of last week, they ranked second nationally in goals and third in shutout percentage.
The game will be UMass' final regular-season non-conference of the season. The squad will play an exhibition match at Montreal on Sept. 30 before opening Atlantic 10 action at Rhode Island on Oct. 6.
Admission to Tuesday's game is free.

Constitutive Modelling in Geomechanics: Introduction Alexander M. Puzrin is available to download at BookMoving Product Description: The purpose of this book is has to bridge the gap between the traditional Geomechanics and Numerical Geotechnical Modelling with applications in science and practice.This eBook is available to download at bookmoving.com and it has been shared by user as Alexander M. Puzrin's eBooks, Geomechanics is rarely taught within the rigorous context of Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, while when it comes to Numerical Modelling, commercially available finite elements or finite differences software utilize constitutive relationships within the rigorous framework.Constitutive Modelling in Geomechanics: ... Textbook As a result, young scientists and engineers have to learn the challenging subject of constitutive modelling from a program manual and often end up with using unrealistic models which violate the Laws of Thermodynamics. The book is introductory, by no means does it claim any completeness and state of the art in such a dynamically developing field as numerical and constitutive modelling of soils. The author gives basic understanding of conventional continuum mechanics approaches to constitutive modelling, which can serve as a foundation for exploring more advanced theories. A considerable effort has been invested here into the clarity and brevity of the presentation. A special feature of this book is in exploring thermomechanical consistency of all presented constitutive models in a simple and systematic manner.

Duke opened the second half with an onside kick that Jarek Lancaster pounced on. The kick didn't travel 10 yards, but Joe Hemschoot was the first to reach the ball, creating a scrum that Stanford won.
With the ball on the Duke 43, Josh Nunes found Levine Toilolo who made a fingertip catch over the cornerback for 13 yards. Short passes to Drew Terrell and Stepfan Taylor moved the ball inside the 20.
On the next play, Nunes threw to the back corner of the end zone that hit Drew Terrell in stride for a 19-yard score. Terrell and cornerback Tony Foster made a simultaneous catch, with the officials ruling on the side of Terrell. A review upheld the play.

Second quarter (5:50 left): Stanford 23, Duke 0
Duke again failed to gain a first down and punted - again - to Stanford. We'll have to check on the number of Duke punts, but it's a lot.
Stanford took over at its 18. Stepfan Taylor juked a defender on another see-to-believe-it run. It went for Stanford's 11th first down. Duke has one.
On first down, Josh Nunes tried to find tight end Zach Ertz, but didn't see the defensive back coming in from the outside, and it was intercepted by cornerback Ross Cockrell at the Stanford 38. This gave Duke its first possession on the Stanford side of midfield.
Second quarter (8:52 left): Stanford 23, Duke 0
Duke takes over at its 25. A first-down pass by Sean Renfree to Issac Blakeney was slapped out of the receiver's hands by A.J. Tarpley and recovered by Stanford's Shayne Skov at the Duke 22. But a replay review changed the ruling to an incomplete pass.
But Duke was forced to punt and Stanford took over at its 38-yard line with 10:50 left.
On first down, Josh Nunes found a wide-open Levine Toilolo down the right sideline to the Duke 24 for 38 yards.
On second down, Stepfan Taylor took a handoff for 13 yards, running off left tackle and spinning off a Duke defender to the 11.
On third down, Nunes tried another jump ball to Toilolo, but he caught the ball out of bounds. Jordan Williamson kicked a 22-yard field goal - his third of the night.
Second quarter (11:47 left): Stanford 20, Duke 0
On first down, at its own 44, running back Stepfan Taylor took the direct snap and handed off to receiver Kelsey Young on an end around for 11 yards. On the next play, a pass to Taylor on the left resulted in a nice move to evade a defender and a good block by receiver Drew Terrell for an eight-yard gain.
Josh Nunes hit Zach Ertz on a quick slant for six yards and first down. On third-and-7, Nunes went again to 6-8 tight end Levine Toilolo. The ball fell incomplete, but Duke interfered with Toilolo, giving Stanford a first down on the Duke 13.
On first down, Taylor ran right up the middle for the 13-yard score, following fullback Lee Ward, who made a great lead block.
End of first quarter: Stanford 13, Duke 0
After Jordan Williamson's field goal, Duke took over at its 20. Alex Debniak forced a third-and-5 with a fine open field tackle on a swing pass and joined Ben Gardner and Trent Murphy on a sack. Debniak blitzed from the right side, shook off a block by a running back to get to quarterback Sean Renfree.
First quarter (1:23 left): Stanford 13, Duke 0
At the 15, a Josh Nunes pass toward Ty Montgomery was broken up after a heavy Duke rush. On third and 7, pressure forced the Nunes to throw too far ahead of an open Zach Ertz over the middle, leading to a 32-yard field goal by Jordan Williamson.
First quarter (1:52 left): Stanford 10, Duke 0
On a possession notable for Kelsey Young's first collegiate reception, Stanford failed to earn a first down and Daniel Zychlinski punted away to Duke, which took over at its own 25.
Duke was held a yard short on a pass to Conner Vernon and punted, with Stanford taking over at its 22 with 3:43 left in the quarter.
So far, Josh Nunes again threw a jump-ball pass toward 6-foot-8 tight end Levine Toilolo, but he was well covered. On third-and-6, Nunes fired a first-down pass to Drew Terrell for 12 yards to the 39.
On the next play, Ertz found tight end Zach Ertz running free down the middle and hit him perfectly for 43 yards to the Duke 18. The length was a career-long pass for Nunes and a career-long reception for Ertz.
Play was stopped because of a Duke injury with Stanford facing a second-and-7 at the Duke 15.
First quarter (6:36 left): Stanford 10, Duke 0
Duke took over at its 17 and was able to earn its initial first down of the game, but not before a Shayne Skov tackle got a big hand from the crowd. Skov was making his first appearance since injuring his knee nearly a year ago.
On third and nine, nickel back Usua Amanam brought a hard blindside blitz to help force an incompletion and a Duke punt. Amanam had two sacks in the opener against San Jose State.
First quarter (8:52 left): Stanford 10, Duke 0
After Stanford again held Duke without a first down - the second three-and-out in as many possessions for the Blue Devils - the Cardinal took over at its own 27-yard line for its first offensive play.
On Stanford's second play, Josh Nunes lofted a pass to Ty Montgomery for 33 yards. Montgomery got tangled up with a defender, but reached the ball and with outstretched hands before tumbling to the ground. On the next play Stepfan Taylor turned a screen pass into 15 more yards, to the Duke 25.
Anthony Wilkerson ran for eight yards off left guard, but Taylor lost a yard on the next play, setting up Stanford's first third-down situation of the game. Last week, the Cardinal converted only two of 13 tries. Again, Stanford failed to convert as Nunes' pass toward Zach Ertz on crossing route was deflected.
Jordan Williamson's 35-yard field goal was good. He is 3-for-3 on field-goal tries this season.
First quarter (13:53 left): Stanford 7, Duke 0
Drew Terrell immediately put Stanford ahead by returning a punt 76 yards for a touchdown. Stanford had held Duke to three-and-out after the opening kickoff and Terrell took advantage. After catching the ball, Terrell ran right to evade a would-be tackler and found a seam that took him down the right side - untouched - to the end zone.
Stanford (1-0), ranked No. 25 in the AP poll, takes on unranked Duke (1-0) at Stanford Stadium in a 7:30 p.m. game.
The Cardinal has taken the field for warmups in all-black uniforms. Unlike each of the past two years, when the team wore black against Wake Forest (2010) and UCLA (2011), this time Stanford is wearing black helmets as well.
Stanford is coming off a 20-17 season-opening victory over San Jose State and is looking for an improved showing against the Blue Devils, a 46-26 winner over Florida International last week.
This is Duke's second appearance at Stanford. The first came in the 1971 season when the Blue Devils upset No. 10 Stanford, 9-3, during the then-Indians' Rose Bowl season. Duke hasn't beaten a ranked team on the road since.

CanWest News Service ·
OTTAWA - It wakes you up in the morning, and it might help you retain your memory as you age - but only if you're a woman.
A daily dose of caffeine may help older women without dementia protect their memory, according to a study published in the Aug. 7 issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Women aged 65 and older who drank more than three cups of coffee per day - or the equivalent in tea - did better on memory tests than women who drank one cup or less of coffee or tea daily, the study found.
The benefits of caffeine appear to increase with age. At age 65, caffeine consumers were 30 per cent less likely to show a decline in memory than other women.
For women over 80, the results were even more dramatic: those who drank more than three cups of coffee (or equivalent) daily were 70 per cent less likely to have a failing memory.
The protective effect of caffeine was observed in tests involving verbal memory. However, caffeine consumption was not found to prevent dementia.
Scientists studied 7,000 dementia-free people - 4,197 women and 2,820 men - whose cognitive abilities and caffeine intake were tracked over four years.
The findings held up even after other factors that impact cognitive function were taken into account - such as education, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and depression - according to the study .
The researchers theorize that caffeine may block adenosine receptors, which in turn may prevent damage caused by beta-amyloid - a toxic substance that accumulates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
It's not clear why caffeine doesn't seem to have the same protective effect in men, said the study's lead author, Dr. Karen Ritchie of INSERM, the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research, in an interview with CanWest News Service.
Caffeine may be processed differently by women and men, she said.
Ritchie hopes a follow-up with the study participants in the French cities of Montpellier, Dijon and Bordeaux next year will show that even if caffeine can't prevent Alzheimer's disease, it may help increase the length of time between early signs of cognitive decline and the onset of dementia.
However, further study is needed before scientists can advise women to ramp up their caffeine intake, she cautioned. "Please don't everybody rush out and start drinking coffee," she said.
Caffeine can increase blood pressure, she explained - which in itself can affect cognitive function.
Other known risks associated with caffeine are anxiety and increased heart rate, according to caffeine expert Ahmed el-Sohemy, Canada Research Chair in Nutrigenomics at the University of Toronto.
And while the French study showed a correlation between caffeine consumption and protection against cognitive decline, it did not demonstrate a cause and effect relationship, he said.
Other factors may be involved. His own research, published in the July issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests that "those who drink a lot of caffeine are genetically different from those who don't."
The genetic difference is related to the adenosine receptor - the same receptor pinpointed by the French scientists.
Alzheimer's disease researcher Krista Lanctot of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto says other variables associated with high caffeine consumption could affect brain aging.
Maybe older women who consume a lot of caffeine often go out with their friends for coffee, she speculated in a telephone interview. Social interaction is known to help maintain cognitive function, so perhaps it's the socializing that helps keep them mentally nimble, not the caffeine.
Instead of drinking more coffee or tea, seniors who want to protect their memory should stay socially, mentally and physically active, she said.
Play Scrabble, do crossword puzzles, go out with friends and get some exercise. "Those things cause less harm than coffee."

Hurricane Sandy's Opportunity Costs
As occurs every time there is a natural or manmade disaster, the media focus almost exclusively on the economic stimulative effects of the consumption and investment necessary to repair and rebuild in pursuit of recovery and a return to what was.
The point is that money is now being consumed to get back to break even. In purely economic terms, costs are being absorbed by the economy, the business sector and society, for which there is no multiplier, no gain. ...489 more words left in this article.

Our class is learning about hydrostatic water pressure and we have been told that we can calculate the force of the liquid on an object at any depth using "the density x 9.8 x the depth". However, as the depth increases, wouldn't the density of the liquid increase because of the weight of the liquid above it compressing it? So should't there be something in the equation to account for the varying density? To me, "density x 9.8 x depth" seems like it is saying that the density will be constant...
The density does increase with depth, but only to a tiny extent. At the bottom of the deepest ocean the density is only increased by about 5% so the change can be ignored in most situations.
If you're dealing with these sorts of depths you also need to take temperature into account because the water temperature changes with depth and the density also changes with temperature.
No, it doesn't - or at least only negligibly so. At normal pressures, liquids are essentially incompressible. This table gives the compressibility of some liquids, including water. Note that the units are to be multiplied by $10^{-11}$ per Pascal. For water you get 46ppm per atmosphere. In most cases that is negligible.
You said the right word: liquid!
$P=\rho g h$ holds only if the fluid that you are considering is not compressible, that is a liquid. Try to fill a syringe (without the needle) with some water, then close the hole and try to compress it: you will notice that you cannot do much, indeed liquids are not compressible, this mean that the density $\rho=m/V$ does not vary with pressure because the volume stays the same.
However when applying a physics relation it is important to understand its limits of validity. For instance if you compress water a lot you may even force the molecules to pack together and get ice, this will of course break the equation. But with liquids in everyday life that is just fine.

A not terribly long time ago in a galaxy pretty close to home, the "Star Wars: Episode VII" cast list made the jump to Hyperspace. The forthcoming film presents a new era for the long running franchise. Most likely, viewers stumbling out of cinemas after "Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi" didn't expect the prequel trilogy. Had they predicted that unspeakable monstrosity, they'd likely have burst into tears instantly.
Luckily, "Episode VII" offers a new hope, as headliners Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher will resume their oft-recognized roles as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia. Further excitement stems from Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew returning to play R2-D2, C-3PO and Chewbacca. Newcomers include Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Daisy Ridley, Domhnall Gleeson, John Boyega, Max von Sydow, and Oscar Isaac. Thankfully, certain characters weren't mentioned (hint: meesa ruin movie), and with the original cast reprising their parts, "Episode VII" may very well redeem the series.
To say the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy wasn't well received would be a severe understatement. Considering the roots of the sci-fi franchise, and the classic status of the original trilogy, the 2015 continuation has quite a precedent to meet. Reuniting Luke, Han, Leia, and their faithful companions R2-D2, C-3PO, and Chewbacca suggests that "Episode VII" won't be the snoozefest the prequels were. However, let's take a moment to remember that fourth "Indiana Jones" flick. Granted, Shia LaBeouf doesn't appear on the cast list, but he wasn't in that fridge scene either. Is the force strong with this one, or would you rather strike it down? Leave a comment below!

I often daven at Chabad shuls and I have noticed that they have some particulars regarding tallit usage inconsistent with the rest of Ashkenazi Jewry, including:
- not wearing when receiving an aliyah or davening (even shacharit)
- not wearing for leining
- Chabad Ba'alei Teshuva discontinue the wearing of a tallit when the "become fromm"
I have read, in sources related to MMS that it is for the kavod of the kehilla and of the sefer torah that we do so. Furthermore, when I discussed this with R' Avram Grossbaum of Chabad, he provided a rationale which does not work in context, that of a minyan of bachurim.
Does Minhag Lubavitch bring any sources for their rationale?

After months of trying to figure out why coffee shop lattes taste so much better than our home-made variety we've finally figured it out. It's the froth! "Duh," you might say, but it took some of us a bit of time to riddle this one out on our own. Here's what we like about the Bodum Latte Battery Operated Milk Frother ($30): The foaming spiral not only rotates in both directions, but it also moves up and down, pumping more air into the milk and creating even more foam for our lattes. Ah, perfection...
On a whim, I looked this up on Amazon, and found it there for $20 instead of the $30 on Cookware.com.
Just an FYI

As much as we love the look of Granny's doilies, we don't have the right credenza to display them on in our cramped apartment. We're taking the same look and feel and tossing it on our couch with this Floret Pillow ($30). In fact, we might see if we can wheedle one of Gran's beloved doilies out of her and baste it onto a colorful pillow ourselves. We're crafty like that.

True Love lasts forever Chapter 3 Loki x ReaderChapter 3 – The little lost lambTrue Love lasts forever Chapter 3 Loki x Reader by vampirenoorway
When you finally woke up, you were in your own body again. Thank God. You woke up in a big, soft bed, and you could hear the birds tweet outside of the window. You couldn't see Loki anywhere, and you dared not to leave the room, in case someone was to spot you. You were dressed in the same clothes that you had been wearing before Heimdal moved you from Midgard. It was a funny thought, and you giggled. The planet you had been living on was called Midgard. It was a thought you had trouble of believing, yet your mind had started to think on earth as Midgard.
The room was quit big, with furniture which reminded you of the Victorian time. The walls were made from stones, and the carpet, which covered the whole floor, was coloured in a dark red colour. The bed was the biggest thing in the entire room, and it was placed in front of the window. Even though the enormous window was covered with thick, black drapes, you could see the sun shine through

"I would like to take the fair lady to Asgard." Loki whispered in your ear as he gently caressed your cheeks. He was now sitting on the edge of the bed, facing your direction, smiling. You were stunned by his dazzling face. The beautiful proportions, the sharp cheekbones, the playful eyes. Loki had asked you to join him to Asgard. You had to snap your arm to check if you really weren't dreaming. Loki's hands were firm and cold, yet they made you warm. You wanted to say yes, yes to the man who had claimed to be Loki, and who wanted you to join him to the great land of the Asgardians. There was something mysterious about the man who had approached you in your bedroom. Something mysterious and tricky indeed, yet there was also something warm and reliable with this man. A comfort one simply couldn't resist.
"Why me?" you asked. "Why have you chosen me?" you glared at Loki, wondering if this was all but a

Shanjuan Cave is a famous fantastic limestone cave on Luoyan Mountain in Zhuling Village of Yixing City, about 25 kilometers away from the southwest of Yixing City. Shanjuan Cave is 800 meters long with the total area of 5,000 square meters, consisting of four caves, including the upper cave, the middle cave, the lower cave and the back cave which are passable to each other. Especially in the water cave which is 120 meters long, tourists can enjoy boating there. The entrance to the cave is at the middle cave which has the area of 1,000 square meters and the 7-meter-tall stalactites stand at the entrance. Entering into the cave, tourists will feel as if being in a magical underground palace. A large number of various stone pillars and stalactites abound in the cave and the cave is also decorated with colored lighting. Through history, the spectacular natural landscape of the cave has been glorified in Chinese stories and poetry written by numerous poets who had been there.
Shanjuan Cave has been regarded as a mysterious limestone cave in Jiangsu Province and even in China. According to the legend, there was a man called Shan Juan who renounced the world and lived alone in the cave over 4,000 years ago. After that, the cave was named after the recluse and has been called Shanjuan Cave from then now.
The Middle Cave: As the entrance to the cave is at the middle cave, while entering the cave, tourists will see a large and spacious stone hall with the area of 1,000 square meters and there are the 7-meter-tall stalactites with a history of about 30,000 years standing at the entrance. On both sides of the stone cave, there stands a pair of huge stones like a lion and an elephant which are vivid and magnificent. The large stone hall, which is large enough to hold thousands of tourists at a time, is called "The Lion and Elephant Hall" by local people.
The Upper Cave: The upper cave, which is 70 meters long, 30 meters wide and 30 meters tall, looks like a shell and is much larger than the middle cave. It is wrapped in midst all the year round. The upper cave is also called "The Warm Cave" because it's fairly warm in winter and rather cool in summer with the temperature of 23°C throughout the year. In the wall of the cave, there are a variety of scenery formed by unique stones, such as pandas, sheep and lotuses.
The Lower Cave and the Water Cave: The lower cave and the water cave are the most magnificent and characteristic caves in Shanjuan Cave. The lower cave is 180 meters long, 18 meters wide and 22 meters tall. It is also called "Waterfall Cave" because there forms a spectacular waterfall outside the cave after the heavy rain, due to the six-meter-high escarpment outside the cave. The water cave is an ancient underground rive with the length of 120 meters and the depth of 4.5 meters. Tourists can take pleasure boats there all the year round.
The Back Cave: The back cave is connected to the Water Cave with the length of 120 meters long, the width of 6 meters and the depth of 4.5 meters.

Leather women's wallets are symbols of style, status, and creativity. They are sensations for stylish women. Leather wallets for women come in different variety and style and, considering the multitude of wallets to choose from nowadays, picking the right one has become an art itself. Here are some guidelines how to decide for the best leather wallets:
Color harmony
Be mindful of the color that matches your wallet. This simply means that the color you wear should be in sync with your wallet to fully capture your personality and tastes.
Determine the main use
There are women who choose a wallet not only for style but for its practical use to secure their personal stuff like ids, money, and other handy valuables when going out. If you are one of these types, be sure to check if the folds and spaces are enough to handle all the things you need while going out.
Remember maintenance
You want a versatile yet sturdy wallet. Any good leather wallet should have these characteristics. Good wallets can be determined by their shine even after years of using them. Of course, this will be difficult to know when buying a new one. Maintaining a good-looking wallet can be done by adding a little luster to it. Applying a little amount of olive oil to the leather can surely regain the freshness of your wallet to make it look like brand-new again.
Opting for leather women's wallets is a great choice when it comes to fashion. Picking the right item is the key. Choose wisely and show to the world what you got!

Chris Brown and Drake Sued For $16 Million For Club Brawl
Chris Brown and Drake have been united — in a lawsuit.
Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., the company that owns the club W.i.P., where the two performers' entourages brawled on June 14, is now suing Drake and Brown for $16 million.
According to a lawsuit filed in New York, the singers "shared a grudge against the other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman" — Rihanna — and when they "crossed paths" at the club and started fighting, they ordered more than a dozen "heavily built men" in their crews "to fight violently with each other."
The suit notes their entourages "fashioned deadly weapons out of whatever materials they could find," including "shattering the handles of bottles of spirits to use as makeshift knives, and even throwing full bottles at each other."
What ensued was a "violent brawl on a massive scale" with lots of "flying glass shrapnel," state the court papers.
"Terrorized patrons ran for cover," adds the suit, "using banquettes and tables as improvised shields. Most were unable to protect themselves," including several patrons who were "severely injured, including at least one celebrity."
Basketball star Tony Parker is now suing the club for $20 million.
Among the reasons Entertainment Enterprises is seeking $16 million from Brown and Drake for "gross negligence," "ultrahazardous activity" and "intentional illegal acts," is that it had previously struck a $4 million licensing deal, but after the bad publicity that came along with the brawl and the club shutting down, the deal went south.
The suit says the singers "should have foreseen that their notoriety and celebrity would ensure that their acts had far-reaching and devastating effects."
So far, no one from either Brown or Drake's side is commenting.

Ain't Them Bodies Saints is another Sundance special, a western without steer and horses, campfires, a noose, whiskey, or wild Indians, which by now one can do very well without. It is instead a meditative, moody, ill-starred romance by way of Texas, where the only real piece of machinery that separates its citizens from the primeval is not the television or computer but the gun or rifle. In the opening sequence, two young men gone bad are cornered by policemen, who arrive in squad cars. During the shootout that ensues, one dies and the other, whose wife fires a fateful shot, goes to prison.
Flashback to The Marriage of Maria Braun and other films in which someone goes to prison for the sake of someone else. In matters concerning the warmer human heart, when chivalry is summoned, it is readily forthcoming, regardless of right and wrong. Never will the punished innocent complain to the unpunished guilty. They are both above all that because a romance is, generally speaking, the elusive stairway to heaven. And besides, Ruth (Rooney Mara) is pregnant. But more to the point, Bob (Casey Affleck) is impatient. He is unwilling from the start to serve his full sentence. The film is ultra-heavy on style and purposely thin on plot. And that is precisely what I liked about Ain't Them Bodies Saint. Unlike other films with western settings in which outlaws buck horns with the authorities, it is long on telling, not on what is told.
I never really thought of myself as the type. But I got into this movie, and realized, while watching, that such films were more needed than not. That is to say, films that take chances with the way in which they relate their stories. According to Film Comment, the movie "is less concerned with narrative and character than it is with tone and affect." My sentiments exactly. I would go further and suggest that it is formalistic, unfettered and unstifled by the constraints of content. As a Lone Star story, set a while back, there are less electronics. The chief focus is on love letters, voice-over, the introduction of a law-abiding, guitar-strumming second man, an original soundtrack, and the steep odds stacked against a luckless family of three. If it manages to survive, much less thrive, a miracle will have taken place. Especially with a nosy neighbor sitting on the porch next door who sleeps with an eye open.
I picked up the dvd of Ain't Them Bodies Saints at the local Wal-Mart. I was curious to see what current western had found an audience among the mainstream. I was surprised to learn that it was a Sundance award-winner for best cinematography. Strangely, I did not consider its visual aspect to be the film's strongest attribute. To me what stood out most was the way in which the actors spoke and occasionally moved. To my mind, the entirety was realistic enough, yet also dreamy, understated, and a bit slow, with less volume. I would recommend this film to romance enthusiasts, but with the caveat that it is still, after all is said and done, a western. It employs gunfire and superfluous machoism, mostly verbal, elements shared by other genres not in the least bit romantic.

Manchester road named after Sir Alex Ferguson
A road near the Old Trafford football stadium is to be renamed after Fergie to honour the long-serving manager of Manchester United.
A road adjacent to English football club Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium is to be renamed Sir Alex Ferguson Way in honour of the club's previous manager, who retired in May after nearly 27 years at the helm.
Ferguson, who is now a director at the Premier League club, will be given the Honorary Freedom of the Borough of Trafford at a formal ceremony on Monday
The 71-year-old Ferguson says "to have a part of Trafford carrying my name is truly humbling".
Another former Manchester United manager, the late Matt Busby, has a street named after him close to the stadium. – Sapa.

Very Good Service, very nice
Beautiful apartment, well equipped in a pleasant, quiet but still very central location. The handover of keys went well and we were even kindly allowed to store our luggage on the last day. All in all, highly recommended!!
P.S. so sorry for such a late review and thanks a mill to the whole RentinParis-Team for your great services and this pleasant and comfortable accommodation which made our stay in Paris just perfect!!
Very centrally located and clean Apartment. We would definitly book again.
Great little apartment in an absolutely fantastic location (easy to walk to all major attractions). The apartment itself was fully equipped, very well maintained and the bathroom, although a touch on the tiny side, was very clean ( ). Would definitely recommend staying here.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - facilities were as described!
The apartment was in a super location only a short bus ride from key attractions in either direction.
Great!! Best location and perfect comunication!! Very kind and recomendable
Lovely apartment right next to the Sorbonne. The staff member who greeted us was very helpful and friendly. The apartment was very clean and with all the facilities. It proved to be a quiet and pleasant haven from hustle and bustle of the city but still conveniently located for restaurants, shops and the metro.
My first experience renting apartment in Paris is not as nice I imagined, the attic in apartment is dusty so my children refused to sleep there. Television & telephone is not working that we cannot use it to call the staff and other local calls, moreover overseas. The wifi is not going well, sometimes on and off. We complained by email and SMS but there is no response, the staff asked me to email other staff. And the worst, there is no Air Conditioning that we could not sleep well at night because of the hot & humid weather ( maybe because they renovated the roof) so we tried to find hote nearby since we cannot stand anymore. We have to stay in 2 different hotels since there is only 1 room left in both hotels
The location was perfect, the house was fully renovated and very clean. We had a lovely stay, thanks.
Superb and clean appartment, good location just around corner Tour Eiffel. Good communication and nice reception by Stéphane. Feels like home. Next time Paris this appartment once again.

'Know-Nothing' Amendment Survives Another Challenge in Massachusetts
January 28, 1995 by Bill
Filed under Catalyst Online, Features
The Massachusetts Legislature, meeting in joint Constitutional Convention on Dec. 20, failed to repeal the anti-Catholic "Know-Nothing"Amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution.
The amendment, a product of vicious 19th century anti-Catholicism, prohibits any form of state aid to Catholic school students.
The repeal measure was sponsored by Senate President William M. Bulger. The opposition was led by the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the American Jewish Congress and the ACLU.

I've been traveling on. I arrived in Southern Califorina exactly yesterday.
After approximately three months of bike touring and three more months volunteering, its finally time for me to hit the road again. This time, however, I'm packed for travel by foot & by rock. Last time I detailed my gear it was back in Oregon on my bike tour. Now, I've changed things up, bought new things, got rid of others, and created a slick new set up for my upcoming travels.
Therefore, I present to you, an updated list of my earthly posessions for my next stint as a vagabond rock climber.
The Wardrobe aka. My Clothes Chunk (38 items)
- One green shirt dress thing
- One little black dress
- One print dress that usually ends up being my laundry day outfit
- One black skirt
- Waterproof biking jacket leftover from bike tour
- An oversized red sweatshirt
- A white knit sweat — incredibly impractical for traveling, but I like it.
- One thin tan sweater
- A houndstooth scarf — absolutely essential, any scarf, houndstooth or not
- A plaid long-sleeve
- A tan long-sleeve, which I'm seeing now may be a bit redundant
- Blue & white striped 3/4 length shirt
- The W Dress from American Apparel — I think that's what its called. I've made several holes in this shirt by now..
- White Manna T-shirt from Arcata, CA
- A plain black shirt
- One pair of black tights
- One pair of neon tights from bike tour that I adore
- Yellow leggings
- A pair of jeans
- One pair of longer striped jean shorts — internationally appropriate
- Another pair of shorts, tan & white striped — less internationally appropriate
- Yet another pair of shorts. I'd call these sleeping shorts
- A tan tank top
- A multi-colored striped tank top — What's up with me and stripes?
- Little black tank top
- Sleeveless zip-up hoodie– adds a hood to any outfit, I really appreciate this
- 4 socks (one thigh high wool set, a super warm sport sock & two athletic tiny socks)
- 3 bras, one strapless
- Underwears
- Rainbow neon one-piece swimsuit
- Fingerless gloves
- Neon arm warmers — No excuses, they just look cool
OK. Fine. For anyone that claims to be a minimalist, this is a lot of clothes, I know. I'm sure I could do without a few of these items, and they will probably fall away as time goes on, but for the time being, it all fits in the bag, so I'm not feeling too much pressure. I stuff the lot of it into a waterproof compression sac (1 item) which may, in fact, be the most useful thing I have. It makes all those clothes look more like this…
…. I keep the larger & warmer pieces outside the compression sac for easy access.
Camp Stuff aka. I Can Sleep Anywhere (7 items)
I really appreciate being self-sufficient in this respect. It allows me stay in amazing locations and saves tons of money. Honestly though, If I didn't have camping stuff, there would be almost nothing in my backpack.
I don't have everything you need while camping, but still have enough to be comfortable living outdoors. Which leaves me with the following:
- Pretty decent sized one woman tent
- Sleep pad — its the short kind this time, much better
- Sleeping Bag (30 degrees)
- Compression sac for sleeping bag
- A folding knife
- Headlamp + batteries
Toiletries and the Like (11 items)
I'm not really one for primping & beautifying, so don't be surprised that I have so few items in this sections. Last time I wrote about this, my mother was pleased to find that I was actually bringing a hair brush with me. Yeah, I'm just that bad…
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Floss
- Loofa
- Small Dr. Bronner's soap
- First Aid Kit (band-aids, gauze, pain killers, disinfectant, etc.)
- Nail Clippers
- Tiny hairbrush
- A bag for the high-use toiletries
- The bag from the front of my bike to hold it all
- A camp towel
Technology Stuff aka. How I Make all this Magic Happen (9 items)
- Solar Charger — yes, it works & yes, it is awesome
- iPad + keyboard/case hybrid
- iPhone + charger
- Hot pink iPhone protector. Yup.
- Data Storage device
- Some practically useless Apple converter piece to plug into the iPad
- Earbuds
Rock Climbing Things (7 items)
Yes, I know. I need way more than this to be a savage rock climber, but I have to start somewhere so this will have to do…
- One set of super sticky rock climbing shoes
- A harness
- The Belay device
- Chalk bag & accompanying chalk
- A carabiner
- This mesh bag that carries it all
Other Things–Random or Not–That I Need Need Need (9 items)
- Passport
- Bank Cards, etc.
- One pair of Teva sandals
- One pair of all purpose tennis shoes
- A pretty pink pepper spray
- A lighter
- A notebook + pen
- Sleeping pad repair kit
- And finally… A GoLite backpack–which may actually be made of magic
That's it. That's the whole of it. That is everything that I own, well, excuse the emergency bag & mementos left in Portland. 80 total items. So much better than last time!
There are, however, a few things that I would like to add to my haul…
- Travel mug and/or waterbottle. It would be cool if it had a lid & I could heat it up. I may just settle on a mason jar.
- A set of chopsticks
- A book. I just need a new one
- Some quickdraws for rock climbing
- An amazing rope–I know I can't really carry it around, but I can still want it. Right?
"Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."
-Lao Tzu
Sigh. OK. I'm working on it…

Economic fortune tellers across the country are smashing their crystal balls today as it emerges that retail sales dropped by 0.6% in January, a fall of 0.6% on last year too. Pundits had been expecting a 0.4% rise.
Of course, all the signs had been pointing in that general direction. At the end of January, the CBI's Distributive Trades Survey proclaimed that retailers had actually totted up a marked increase in sales volumes. But that was before the big freeze sent shoppers scurrying home to avoid the snow and hail.
The good news is that this 0.6% drop in sales in January is a whole lot better than the contraction we usually see during snow-stricken months (probably because in some areas it was more of a sprinkle than a deluge). Back in the snowy December of 2010, retail sales plunged 1.9%.
The problem is that the contraction is due to more than just snow. Consumer demand has been falling steadily: sales are down for four consecutive months and the previously estimated 0.1% drop in December has now been revised down to a steeper 0.3%. The food sector has been especially hard-hit, dropping 2.6% year-on-year to the lowest level since April 2004. In contrast, online retail is flourishing. The amount spent on the web now accounts for 10.1% of all retail spending, excluding fuel.
And then there's the latest batch of gloomy data from the Office for National Statistics concerning real pay. Apparently, UK workers are on the same salaries as they were ten years ago; inflation has eaten away at any pay rises over the last three years. This means that the retail environment is likely to remain subdued indefinitely.
However, before we all cry 'the triple dip is nigh', it's worth noting that these retail sales are not used to work out GDP estimates. With various PMI statistics showing signs of increased confidence – manufacturing is doing especially well – there could yet be a slight uptick in the UK economy in the coming quarter. It's a slim chance, but it's a chance.

UK retail sales snow go in January
Heavy snowfall kept shoppers indoors last month, causing a surprise 0.6% drop in retail sales. Economists beat their breasts in mourning.

Derby City Council cannot be held responsible for the content of external links provided from this site.
The purpose of this site is to enable access to maps and data on a wide range of Geographical Information within the City and District of Derby.
To use this site, you must agree to the following conditions:
Because of their visual, interactive and dynamic nature, digital geographical maps and data pose challenges to full accessibility. For example, navigation tools like panning and zooming require the use of a mouse. Also, screen readers are not able to accurately describe the full content of a map generated in an on-the-fly and dynamic manner. The issue of accessibility to geographical data is a concern to the Council when providing such content over the Internet. The Council is seeking to implement alternative methods of accessing the data wherever practical.
The information presented on these maps is also available in accessible formats either from www.derby.gov.uk or directly from the Council

Do we know the true meaning of Christmas or do we go by what man says it means?
How many of us take the time to find out the real meaning of Christmas? Christmas is a special time of the year. Christmas was when Christ was born.
Christmas is a time for us to recognize Christ because without him, we wouldn't be here. Christmas is a time for families to come together and share the story of Christ's birth.
Liberals, progressives, communists and socialists all hang their membership cards in the Democrat Party. They all believe that society's problems are because of its material-based life environment. They therefore believe that their system is the answer to man's problems in society. The reorganization of society into the scientific socialist state is the solution to the problems that we have in America today. Now the Democrat Party is the Socialist Party.
My name is Annie F. Hood, better known as Florence Hood. I moved to Lancaster in 1985. I am writing regarding Mayor Joe Shaw. I met Mayor Shaw shortly thereafter. I met him in an unpleasant situation, but he was a perfect gentleman.
Last week, Jenny Arnold, senior reporter for The Lancaster News, was working on a story about an effort to raise money to bring area National Guard troops home from training in Fort McCoy, Wis., where they have been training for a planned deployment to Afghanistan in the new year.
Arnold spoke to the mother of one of the guardsmen, Susan Humphries of Lancaster, on Dec. 8 about the fundraising effort. Humphries, whose son, Corey, is a member of the 1222nd Combat Engineers, was worried she wouldn't get to see her son this Christmas.
I would like to respond to April Blair's guest column, "Blackmon-Brace priority publicity, not community," in the Dec. 16 edition of The Lancaster News.
There is more to Linda Blackmon-Brace than meets the eye. Blackmon-Brace was raised much the way Blair was. I don't think her family was as fortunate as Blair's because there were no programs to serve the poor then as they were when Blair was growing up.
The negativity that melts off people who are uninformed concerning an issue never fails to amaze me. April Blair, who wrote the guest column, "Blackmon-Brace priority publicity, not community," in the Dec. 16 edition, seems to be one of these people.
There have been several responses to my Dec. 16 guest column, "Blackmon-Brace priority publicity, not community." I have come to find out that people automatically assume you agree with someone simply because you're of the same race.
I would like to respond to Jeffrey Donahue's letter, "Americans can make a difference," in the Nov. 20 edition of The Lancaster News. In it he wrote, "People are no longer judged by what property they own or by what demographic they associate with, but they are judged by their merit."
