The Friendship 7 space capsule was designed to orbit the earth and it did just that on February 20, 1962, with John Glenn, Jr. on board. It circled the globe three times before landing in the Atlantic Ocean. Three months later Friendship 7 began its second mission, or what was popularly referred to as its "fourth orbit:" a worldwide exhibition that was organized to promote and represent the United States and its space program in nearly 30 cities around the world.
Five years earlier, popular reaction to the successful launch of Sputnik in 1957 had prompted government officials in the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. to see spaceflight as a leading means for demonstrating power, technological capability, and national values to the world public. As a result, the U.S. space program, and its exhibition abroad, became important instruments in American foreign relations during the Cold War.
Over the course of its three-month-long world tour, Friendship 7 was seen by roughly four million people. Another 20 million people watched television programs about the capsule, which were broadcast from the exhibition sites. In early May 1962, on the first day the capsule was displayed at the Science Museum in London, thousands of people had to be turned away because the huge crowds overtaxed the facilities. In Madrid, the line to see the capsule was often up to a mile long and Spanish authorities had to be called to control a crowd of 40,000 people around the exhibit. Even though tropical thunderstorms drenched Nigeria and an earthquake shook Mexico during the capsule's visit, the exhibit caused a much larger stir in every city it visited than officials at NASA and the State Department had imagined.
The capsule was flown around the world in a U.S. Air Force cargo plane that was emblazoned with the words "around the world with Friendship 7" and depicted the "fourth orbit" on a map of the four continents that the capsule visited over the summer. A member of NASA's Cape Canaveral staff accompanied the craft to answer questions from curious audiences around the world.
At its stop in Egypt, the Friendship 7 capsule exhibit convinced skeptics that the flight had really happened. The Washington Post quoted one onlooker who remarked, "I thought this space flight business was a rumor but now [that] I can see the ship I believe it." It was important for this exhibit visitor, as it was for many spectators around the world, to see the capsule with their own eyes. In the mid-twentieth century, space exploration had just left the realm of science fiction; the extraordinary idea that a man had orbited the earth was made more comprehensible when the craft that had carried Glenn could be seen and touched in person.
Although the Friendship 7 capsule drew record crowds from Paris and Accra, the capsule received its most overwhelming response in Asia. In the middle of July, when the capsule arrived in India, 50,000 Bombay residents waited for up to four hours to see the display at the Brabourne stadium. In the Philippines, priests, students, grandmothers, and boy scouts waded through six inches of rainwater leftover from a typhoon to see the spacecraft during its first day on display.
In Japan, the capsule was taken to Takashimaya, the leading department store in downtown Tokyo, where exhibits were usually mounted. Several hundred police and guides were called in to direct the crowd into a line that climbed nine flights of stairs, zigzagged across the roof of the building, and then descended back down nine flights of stairs to the first floor where the capsule was on display. In the first hour alone more than 12,000 people saw it, while over the course of its four-day visit more than 500,000 people came to the store to see Friendship 7 in person.
When Friendship 7 took its fourth orbit, it was for all practical purposes a defunct piece of machinery. After it landed in the Atlantic Ocean in 1962, the capsule had done what it was designed to do: to orbit the earth. Having outlived its technical utility, its display conveyed not only the fact that the first orbital flight had happened, but also that the American space program was open.
A year after his flight John Glenn wrote to McGeorge Bundy, President Kennedy's National Security Advisor, that the Friendship 7's "fourth orbit" tour, "stressed the fact that [the American space program] was not just a propaganda effort before the world, but a well-thought-out scientific program that could eventually benefit all peoples of the world as the scientific exploration it is." He went on to note that Russian exhibits highlighted personal appearances of cosmonauts while the United States emphasized scientific information via the capsule's display. According to Glenn, America's greatest advantage over the Soviet Union's space program was "the almost complete freedom to share experiences and new information." He suggested that the openness of the American program—as represented by the display of the spacecraft—stood in for the nation and its political ideology: when the Friendship 7 capsule was laid bare before the eyes of people from around the world it gave the impression that the U.S. space program was real, benign, apolitical, and designed for the collective benefit of all mankind.

Nicely done Teasel. The story of people seeing our artifacts is too overlooked. Next you should write about the European Apollo tour organized by USAID…
In January 2010 I visited the NASM for the first time. I was standing beside Friendship 7, looking inside it, when some short guy in a black, wide-brimmed hat and a black overcoat, came bustling up, placed his hand on the capsule, announced to the guy with him, "John Glenn's Mercury. It was supposed to do seven orbits, but malfunctioned and had to abort after three. Moving on!" and off they raced towards Ed White's Gemini, leaving me going "Huh? What? Wait!"
They must have been doing one of those See-The-Air-And-Space-Museum-In-Twenty- Minutes tours. Still, it wouldn't hurt if Mr Black Hat got his facts right – Glenn's mission was set for three orbits and achieved that. The malfunction Mr Black Hat may have been referring to was a faulty microswitch that showed the heat shield might have been loose. In the event, it wasn't.
Great article. I am so intrigued about early space travel and the more I read, the more I want to know.
wow! i remember now.. my grandma once lived in ceylon was the one among those 4 million people who witnessed the friendship 7. She told me a lot of stories about it. Thanks for sharing
This is a great article, indeed the display of friendship 7 took away all the allegations that the first landing on the moon wasn't real. Thank you for sharing!
A crew member of that USAF cargo plane (C-124) that carried John Glenn's capsule on that world wide
tour was Richard (Dickie) E. Jardine, of Boston, Ma. He was then a TSGT (E-6) Loadmaster with the USAF, He later retired a CMSGT (E-9) after 31 yrs active duty. Dickie passed away 0n 8/27/14 in Summerville, SC.

THE CAVENDISH LONDON - made famous in 1902 by King Edward VII's favourite chef Rosa Lewis - will celebrate British Food Fortnight with a gold award from Green Tourism London.
The four-star London hotel in Jermyn Street, St James's, has achieved 84% green rating and sustainable measures at its Petrichor restaurant include:
Head chef at Petrichor, Nitin Padwal, above, who himself is a farmer's son, said: "This award means so much to us. Our suppliers have been fantastic in helping cut packaging on all deliveries - because we simply don't need it."
"I have also found that by having more direct relationships with British farmers they understand our goals better, deliver the very best meat and at far better prices than going through a wholesaler."
During British Food Fortnight ? Sept 18th to Oct 3rd ? Petrichor will offer a selection of contemporary British dishes, which include two courses for £14.95 on pre-theatre dinners. The AA rosette menu includes:

In the Solo Queue games i play i sometimes get raged at because i didn't attack the opponents AD/AP carry but rather stayed back and attacked targets that were safer for me, like the bruisers or even the tank.
I then in response went and tried to attack the target they wanted me to attack but usually ended up dead after getting maybe 2-3 shots off and then getting raged at because i didn't manage to kill the target.
Should i let people continue to rage at me and survive or play more risky in teamfights and hope my team does something to protect me?

Missing Link
I must apologise for jumping the gun on telling you about the architectural plans before finishing telling you about the rest of my trip to Abruzzo in March! It seems apologies are 'de rigueur' at present so I will try to resist my compulsion!
My last Sunday was of course quite hectic with the architect in the morning then a catch up and meeting with an expat in nearby Capestrano where we showed each other our houses. We then had an unscheduled visit to another expat couple who were suddenly setting the table for dinner with us and so it was much later than expected return to the house for a good night's sleep!
Monday morning the weather turned quite cold and wintery, so with little I could do at the house and no pressing appointments I jumped in the car and went off for an exploration of nearby Santo Stefano di Sessanio a partially restored mountain village. At times it was attempting to snow but managed to avoid any contribution to the piles of snow littering the streets from the month of February.
Here are a few pictures of the town.
On my way back to the B&B I drove via Rocca Calascio and took a few pics there also.
After lunch with Jimmy & Francesca I headed to the Pasta Factory near Rocca Casale called Pastificio Masciarelli. Abruzzo has some of the very best pasta in Italy due to the fresh mountain water which is a key ingredient in all pasta production. I bought a 2 packets for myself to take home and a gift pack for my lovely friends and hosts at Abruzzo Segretto.
Tuesday was another busy day as I first went on a quick excursion to a nearby chocolate factory then headed to Ortona to meet with a friend for lunch. We had a superb 3 course meal and some very nice local wine to accompany it. Lunch consisted of some amazing home baked bread and olive oil, an array of antipasto dishes including mussels & calamari followed by a seafood pasta starring the famous chitarra pasta I spoke of in an earlier post and for dessert a tasting plate of no less than 4 treats each!
Feeling very relaxed and mellow after the leisurely 2 hour lunch I said my goodbye's and headed north to Pescara to meet with the Architect. Maurizio had decided to rush through the paperwork for me so I could sign the planning permission requests before leaving. On arrival I met his wife and son, his 15 year old son had been called in as translator although surprisingly between google translate and my small understanding of Italian we managed to complete the necessary paperwork in about an hour. I was advised the planning permission for the commune (village) was a simple process but following the L'Aquila earthquakes there was another office that also required consultation and would take up to 8 weeks to complete.
I am so grateful for finding Maurizio to undertake the project – he renovated my neighbour's house and I was looking to find him originally to complete the restoration but was searching for his details in L'Aquila where he was not. Sometimes things just fall into place – and somehow it seems that my landing in Abruzzo was more than serendipitous!
Wednesday morning I fare-welled my friends and picked up an expat also heading to Fiumincino for a flight. It was nice to have company on the just over 2 hour drive as it made the time go much quicker.
I returned to Beaulieu sur Mer looking forward to the next phase of the renovation process.

Playoffs can bring jubilation or devastation, and with hopes of a state title in the balance mortality constantly looms for the seniors. As the Cedar Hill Longhorns took on the Jesuit Rangers in the bi-district round of the state playoffs all of these things were evident. Jesuit rolled into the contest on a ten game winning streak while Cedar Hill was fighting off a 2 game losing skid. Jesuit was also ranked 4th in the area by the Dallas Morning News so needless to say they were the favorite.
Things started off rocky for the Horns as Jesuit took a 3-0 lead and capitalized on a couple of errors by Cedar Hill. As they have all season the Horns showed heart, fought back, and tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth inning. During the sixth Cedar Hill notched four of their ten hits scoring all three of their runs. Sophomore pitcher Caleb Hamrick kept the boat afloat until he was relieved in the ninth inning by Vance Washko. With one out and two runners on base Mike Savage made a clutch hit bringing home what would be the winning run.
Unfortunately for the Horns the season ended in disappointment with a 4-3 loss. Cedar Hill notched 10 hits while Jesuit had only 6 but the Horns weren't able to turn those hits into runs. While they may still feel the sting of defeat there is nothing to be ashamed of for the resilient Longhorns. The seniors accomplished a lot and it was recently Joee Reyna has committed to play for the powerhouse Dallas Baptist University Patriots. Next year the Horns will make another run at it.

thick NT 5.3mm but blood tests 'almost' normal, 1:75 risk of baby with DS
Hi All, I am 31 yrs old and at a 12w 3 day scan we found out that our baby had a NT of 5.3mm and were given a very bleak outlook by our OB who said that most women with these readings have babies with chromosomal abnormalities. OB also looked for nasal bone which was there. We did a blood test the OB called me a few days ago saying that my overall test came out positive and that I have a 1:75 chance of having a baby with DS. She said that the blood test was OK, almost 'normal' but because of NT the test came out positive and that's what she expected. We were immediately referred to do a CVS test which we did yesterday. We are still waiting for the results but in the meantime are stressing enourmously about the possibility of our baby having chromosomal abnormalities. 1) Have any of you had an increased NT but good blood test and what was the outcome? Is blood test or NT measurement a clearer indication? 2) What were your risks of having a child with DS? Thank you for your replies!

What is the FISH results?posted 01/26/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I just got my FISH results yesterday and they are all NORMAL :) I will send an update once I receive the full CVS report. Don't worry about the blood test, from what I read blood tests can mess up risk calculations for a lot of women but in the end as long as your NT measurement is normal you should be fine.posted 01/26/2013 by podc
I had my NT scan that came out 1mm but my blood test was a different story, my PAPP-A was lower which they said it can indicate of DS and my numbers were 1:65, I'm 36 and I know that my age made a big different in the results, I met the genetic consultant today and I think I will go with the CVS test since I see a lot of good reviews about it. Good Luck!posted 01/25/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi guys, If anyone could share their experiences this would be great. I am still waiting for the FISH results. Anyone out there who had thick NT but normal blood test which reduced the risk of DS? Thanks a lot!posted 01/24/2013 by podc
Sorry, I meant to say that my risk was lowered from 1:3 to 1:75 because of the blood test.posted 01/23/2013 by podc
Thank you for the reply! I just looked at this interesting article http://www.fetalmedicine.com/fmf/FMF-English.pdf where it says that the blood test alone measuring only bGCG and PAPPA identifies 60% of babies with DS so I guess it is not to be relied on as it misses 40% of babies with the syndrome :( : ''Screening in the first trimester by a combination of maternal age and serum free b-hCG and PAPP-A identifies about 60% of affected pregnancies for a false positive rate of 5%.'' I feel like the risk in my case may be lowered from 1:30 to 1:75 because of the 'favorable' blood test which can miss 40% of cases. Could this be the case? I can't help thinking that there may be something wrong with the baby because NT is so high, I would be less stressed if it was in the 4-4.5mm range :(posted 01/23/2013 by podc
These blood tests have high false positives so I would try not to worry. 1:75 while higher than normal for women your age still means that there is 98.67% chance that your baby is perfectly healthy. Good Luck with the CVS test results!posted 01/23/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

On Droid X and Samsung Vibrant launch day, Sprint announces HTC EVO 4G accessories (the phone itself is still sold out)
Seeing how Verizon and T-Mobile launched the Motorola Droid X and the Samsung Vibrant, respectively, Sprint said: "hey, we want to be in the news, too!"
And since it didn't had any new hot phone to launch (the release date of Samsung Epic 4G is still not certain), yesterday the carrier announced it's offering a bunch of accessories for the HTC EVO 4G, its current flagship smartphone.
Accessories include:
- 6-foot HDMI Cable – $29.99 (plus tax)
- Plantronics BackBeat 903 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones with Altec Lansing sound technology – $99.99 (plus tax)
- 3.5mm wired Stereo Headset – $29.99 (plus tax)
- lots of protective cases
- batteries and chargers
You can check out all the available accessories here at Sprint (most, if not all of them, were already available for purchase).
As I'm typing this, the EVO 4G is sold out on Sprint's website – as it has been for quite a while now. But hey, at least you can buy accessories for it.

"A whole lot of reviews on my terrace garden last time made me nervous.... I wondered, how I would ever manage to keep up to the expectations.
Well after a big pause, I told myself, "what the heck, let me update the readers, forget what is expected!"
This is what I have done and would like to share.
Here are the pictures which are self explanatory, enjoy!"

Once again a winter storm is threatening to impact CT, and once again it is a tricky forecast with not a lot of certainty this far out. Here are the headlines for the next few days:
Friday night (2/28/2014): Scattered clouds and brutally cold temperatures.
Saturday: chance of light snow showers Saturday night, but generally a quiet day.
Sunday: Possible snow showers (rain showers along the coast) Sunday morning through afternoon as cold front passes.
Monday: Not much confidence in this forecast at this time, but best guess for now is at least 6" of snow in the Hartford area, higher amounts towards the coast.
Now for the details. This forecast is tricky because there are a lot of things happening at once across the U.S. and Canada that will need to come together to form this winter storm.
As of Friday afternoon, there is a storm system approaching the southern California coast. There is limited capability to gather data on storms over the ocean, so until this system moves over land and can be accurately measured by weather observation stations, the true nature of the storm dynamics are unknown. But at this point, it appears that the storm will cross the southern tier of the U.S. over the weekend reaching the lower Mississippi Valley by Sunday.
At the same time, another branch of the Polar Vortex centered over Hudson Bay is heading south. The resulting arctic cold front should be crossing New England early on Sunday then stalling out along the mid-Atlantic coast. A wave of energy will be riding along this front as it comes out of Canada.
Now comes the tricky part. If the storm from California phases with the energy from Canada (i.e. both systems reach the Atlantic cost at the same time) and if the arctic front does not not move too far south before stalling, then CT could be in for a whopper of a storm. However, both of those are big if's. This is why although some news outlets have been saying we could be getting as much as 18" of snow, I think 6" is a more likely scenario. We won't really know for certain until Saturday night at the earliest, but it is fair to say at this point that the Monday morning commuteis likelyto be a mess. Be careful driving out there.

Scrub iteratively writes patterns on files or disk devices to make retrieving
the data more difficult. Scrub operates in one of three modes:
1. The special file corresponding to an entire disk is scrubbed and
all data on it is destroyed. This mode is selected if file is a
character or block special file. This is the most effective method.
2. A regular file is scrubbed and only the data in the file (and optionally
its name in the directory entry) is destroyed. The file size is rounded up
to fill out the last file system block. This mode is selected if file is a
regular file.
3. A file is created, expanded until the file system is full, then scrubbed as
in item 2. This mode is selected with the -X option.
Scrub implements user-selectable pattern algorithms that are compliant with
DoD 5520.22-M or NNSA NAP-14.x.

Police Release More Details into Tenney Amber Alert
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on March 14, 2013 @ 8:18PM
Created on March 14, 2013 @ 6:25PM
State Police said Margel Tenney will face more charges, in addition to the two counts of sexual assault he's already facing.
However, none of those charges have been filed just yet.
They said he'll face charges from the Amber Alert case, as well as the ongoing sexual assault investigation.
They've also released more details into what happened Tuesday night.
Troopers said Margel Tenney picked up the two girls, and then went to Hacker Valley to pick up his son, 18 year-old James Cutlip.
They went from Webster County to Belington, where Tenney traded his truck from a tan Ford Taurus.
From there, they went to the Fairmont and White Hall areas, before going to Ohio. That's when Tenney decided to head back to Buckhannon, and several hours later, troopers stopped the car near the Jane Lew exit of I-79.
Shaina Tenney told media outlets on Wednesday night that she never felt she or her baby were in danger when Margel Tenney took them from their Rock Cave home Tuesday night.
She also said she didn't even know there was an Amber Alert out for her until Wednesday morning.
7 month-old Grace Tenney, she was taken by Child Protective Services after they were found.
Margel Tenney will have a preliminary hearing on March 22nd on the charges he's already facing.

The Bruins won 30-27, 30-20, 30-26 in 94 minutes front of 1,100 fans on USC's new home court. The victory raised the Bruins' overall record to 15-10, 10-9 in MPSF play. USC fell to 10-13, 7-11.
The victory also gave the Bruins 2.5 points in the Lexus Gauntlet standings, raising UCLA's lead in the cross-town series to 50-22.5.
The Bruins won this match at the service line. They served six aces against just 15 errors and constantly threw USC's offense off-balance all evening with pinpoint service placement and off-speed shots. Senior Paul George served four aces in Game 1 to provide the difference in the opening set.
Freshman setter Kevin Ker guided the offense to a hitting percentage of .394, distributing 40 assists. Ker also tied a career-high by scoring seven points on four kills, an ace and four block assists.
Redshirt freshman quick hitter Shaun Nichols, in his first start, led the Bruins with a career-high of 13 kills (.579) and six block assists. Senior Steve Klosterman added 12 kills and 13.5 points.

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has officially canceled the Washington Redskins' trademark registration as reported by multiple news outlets such as the Washington Post, USA Today, and Sports Illustrated.
In a split decision on a three-person board, the Redskins name and logo were deemed to be disparaging, and thus could not be officially protected by the governing body under trademark law. The decision will not prevent the Redskins from continuing to use the name; however if the ruling can withstand a lengthy appeals process that could span more than a decade, The NFL team would no longer be exclusive holder of the rights to use the name in relation to merchandise sales.
Claims to the actual origin of the Washington Redskins name is often communicated as fact rather than theory. The most common theory I hear is that the name originated from the Boston Tea Party. After all, the franchise originated in Boston and the Boston Tea Party is one of the most significant moments in our nations' history. The basic story consists of colonists painting their "skins" red, dressing like Indians and destroying an entire ship loaded with tea in a demonstration to protest in essence, taxation without representation.
The Boston Tea Party theory does not hold much weight however. There is no historical reference in team history indicating this is where the name was derived. Circumstantial at best, the explanation is a common assumption that has been passed down by word of mouth. It may make sense, but sense does not equal evidence. Two people in the same city may dress similar, but that does not make them blood related.
The true origin of how Washington became the Redskins derives from competition with baseball. In the early 1930's baseball ruled America's sporting landscape and with the NFL still in its' infancy, it was common practice for a team to take on the exact name of professional baseball team that played in the same city. Pittsburgh did not become the Steelers until 1940. Prior to the Steelers they were the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Likewise the Washington Redskins originated as the Boston Braves, copying the same name of the National League baseball team whom they rented use of their stadium from. The football Braves lost $46,000 their first season in the NFL and were threatened with a rate increase to continue to play at Braves Field. As a result two-thirds of the ownership group bolted, leaving George Preston Marshall at the helm.
Marshall in response worked out a deal with the Boston Red Sox of the American League to play at Fenway Park. Instead of changing his football team name to the Red Sox, Marshall was intent on keeping the Native American theme but still needed to feed off the Red Sox popularity. His solution and compromise came with the creation of the Redskins name.
For most, the word Redskins means nothing more than the professional football team that represents Washington D.C. and surrounding areas. It is important to differentiate however a words origin, it's intent, and the evolution of its' meaning.
Essentially though, history in this case does not matter. All that matters is how a word is interpreted in the present day. After all how many of us today would describe ourselves as gay because we are in a good mood. The meaning of a word can change over time.
One false attribution of the origin of the term Redskins is that it described Indian scalps that could be turned in for bounty. The document cited dates back to the mid 1700's and can be read here. The problem with this assertion is nowhere in the text does it reference the actual term "Redskin". It's reverse engineering without any code. As is the case with the Boston Tea Party theory, it sounds good but the evidence just isn't there.
It's important to note that the Washington Redskins have always portrayed the team name with pride, honor, and a fighting spirit. Because of this many Native Americans endeared themselves with the team over the years. In fact, there are still Native American high schools in this country that continue to use the Redskins as their mascot.
The real reason public opinion has begun to turn on the word "Redskins" is that it simply rubs people the wrong way. Especially in this country where race relations have a troubled history, the appropriateness of a word directly referencing skin color is taboo at best. What's more, is to take this word that references a race of people, and then use it as a mascot as well.
What must be understood is that the name means different things to different people, and it's not up to most of us to decide if it is derogatory or not. The only ones who should be making that decision solely belongs to our country's Native Americans.

Corporate social responsibility
Hacienda Guachipelin, with its CRS program, works closely with the schools in the vicinity. The hotel sponsors texts books for 4 public schools. Even though public education in Costa Rica is free and mandatory, the government budget does not cover for books.
For this reason, the one of the country's news papers, La Nacion, has partnered with companies like Hacienda Guachipelin, to provide the least favored students with scholastic text books. The text books have been previously approved by the Costarrican Ministry of Education. This is the second year that Guachipelin participates in this program, and we hope to there next year.

How will the squads work with this new feature. As most of you would know on the current games the teams in the nations you havent included have alot of players missing. So does this new feature mean that squads will be full for those nations not included from the start of the game, or will it mean that if you added a new nation during the game the team will be missing most of their players?

My first impression of this product, a cola-coffee hybrid, is "ew". If I want a caffeine fix I usually crave a coffee or a cola, not both at once & not in the same glass. Coca-Cola Blak is just that, but described more eloquently as "Coke effervescence with coffee essence" on the product website. Speaking of the latter, is it just me or is the music and the VO on the site a little…um…cheesy?

We've been hearing a lot of buzz about Salma Hayek's beauty line, Nuance, so we thought we'd pick up a few products and give them a go. Best purchases, ever (okay, best purchases of the week). Hayek's Cucumber & Rosewater Dual Phase Makeup Remover ($6) is our current favorite. It's incredibly gentle because it's fragrance- and gluten-free and infused with a ton of skin-friendly ingredients like chamomile and lavender extracts and rosewater. We gently dab a little on around our eyes and wipe away before bed. AM raccoon eyes? Totally gone!

Moving on is one of the most challenging phases in anyone's dating life. It becomes even more challenging when you have to be decent about it. Whining, badmouthing, planning a revenge, begging – these are all so tempting. When you are fueled by your emotions, you can't seem to think and you risk ending up being the stupid, pathetic fool of an ex that's going to be the talk of town for as long as possible. The story will go down generations even when you think they have forgotten.
Yes, it is challenging hands down. Your moving on process may just about be the most difficult and most heartbreaking moment of your adult life – but it should not be the most embarrassing. You don't have to lose your face while at it.
Here is the Remmet Guide to moving on. Read on:
- Let go of everything that reminds you of her. Donate the clothes she's left to charity. Take down your couple photos off of the wall. Hide her gifts in the attic. Change your toothbrush. Repaint your house if needed. Rid yourself of everything that reminds you of her. This is one of the first steps to starting your life without her in it. You can wallow in the pain for some time, but you can't live your life being haunted by the ghosts of that relationship and if these things bring those haunting memories back, there's no reason to hold on to them. Let go of them as you have let go of her.
- Surround yourself with people that make you happy and provide great support. Go home to your family. See your old buddies. Join a new hobby group. Instead of locking yourself up in the house and crying over every scene in The Notebook (or whatever her favorite movie was). Go out there and meet people. Avoid talking about her during these meet ups. This is about you rediscovering the life you have had before her, and discovering the new one that does not have her in it. Make this about you, about them – not about her.
- Think about the benefits of being single. The worst part, for many of us, about being single is being alone. Being single after being in a long relationship can be destructive. If you are there right now, you can read this guide from SIBG.com, to make it a little easier for you. But it should not be that dreadful. Being single means you can go out and meet new women. Being single means you can go out – yes, you can go out without having her around or without having to ask for her permission. Being single means being in touch with what makes you happy – your hobbies, your friends, etc.
- Do something that's equally distracting and equally happy at the same time. Moving on involves changing your routine and your lifestyle. Do things that will make you happy even if you are single. Try something new or rediscover something you used to love before her. Go backpacking. Enroll in a new gym. Try a new sport. Watch a new series. Distract yourself with some fun things – trust me, you'd lose the urge to booze up every day crying over her old photo.
While you're at it, take your time. Dating anew is optional. Don't let other people or revenge be your tool and motivation to move on. Let yourself be the reason for moving on.

If you have not already, sign up for Convention - registration closes March 23!
Legislative Day, other May Springfield events scheduled, open for registration
Upcoming Events
If you have not already, sign up for Convention - Registration closes March 23! To be held April 26 – 28, 2012, ICUL's 82nd Annual Convention will tout many changes and highlights, not the least of which is a brand new location– the Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg, Illinois.
The theme is "Get in the Game!"
Connie Payton, wife of the late football legend Walter Payton, has been announced as the Keynote speaker and will present "Family Values, Teambuilding, Embracing Life." Her address will be part the Keynote and Awards Ceremony, which will include the changing of the gavel and is among a jam-packed schedule of 24 educational opportunities that will also consist of a free pre-con workshop and a closing session. The Disclosures, an acoustic thrift-rock duo from the land of credit unions are also scheduled to perform.
A new registration option is available this year: a special one day rate. If your credit union has always wanted to bring some extra staff to Convention, now is your chance. This Friday-only rate for only $115 per attendee includes admission to the keynote session, the morning and afternoon education sessions, access to the exhibit hall and a "tailgate" lunch on Friday.
Many credit unions have already taken advantage of this promotion, including DuPage Credit Union. "With the Convention at a nearby, less expensive suburban location we're able to send several more team and board members than we have in the past to help expose them to the credit union movement. It's a great value," said Robert Palumbo, CEO.
Also new this year is the opportunity for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. Need CPE credits for your CPA designation? Many of our sessions are now CPE eligible. Contact the league's education department for additional information.
The 82nd Annual Convention officially kicks off at 4:00 p.m. on April 26th with the exhibit hall grand opening, where more than 80 business partners and other vendors are anticipated to be on display.
Don't miss out! Please note the registration deadline is March 23. Full details of the event can be found at http://www.iculeague.org/2012AC and via our new mobile Web site. Be sure to also check out our photo preview of our new host facility.
Legislative Day, other May Springfield events scheduled, open for registration It will be a busy time for the League and credit unions in early May.
That's because first, ICUL's annual Legislative Day and Reception will be held on May 9. This important annual event will be held at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel.
"With all members of the General Assembly up for election in 2012, the time is now for political involvement. This year's State Legislative Day and Reception will focus on the key role that credit unions can play in the political process. By joining and working together, we can make a difference that matters -- to every credit union member and the entire credit union movement," said Steve Olson, ICUL Executive Vice President, General Counsel and COO.
New for 2012: The meeting format of Legislative Day has changed to begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. and include a luncheon, allowing for a better opportunity for legislative visits. Please also plan to take advantage of this networking opportunity: The Legislative Reception will be returning to the Governor's Mansion, which was well-received as our off-site reception in 2010. The Illinois Governor's Mansion is one of the oldest historic residences in the state. Be sure to come visit and view the mansion while socializing with your legislator during the Legislative Reception.
In addition, please also note about additional events taking place that week. The 2nd annual Springfield-area CUPAC golf outing will take place on Tuesday, May 8 – one day prior to ICUL's State Legislative Day. The golf outing will take place at Edgewood Golf Club in Auburn, Illinois (approximately 30 minutes south of Springfield). Separate registration is required using the CUPAC Golf Outing brochure.
Lastly, please mark your calendar for now to stay around on May 10, the day after Legislative Day, for a board college being hosted by the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors (NASCUS). A simliar event was held as part of its annual conference held in Chicago last year and was well attended and received by Illinois credit unions. While the agenda is still to be finalized, staff from the Division of Financial Institutions and ICUL are tentatively scheduled to be present.
For more information on these events, please see the event brochures and/or call ICUL's Springfield office at (217) 744-1800.
Upcoming Events Check out "Dates" for details about other upcoming events.
Our Mission: To Serve You
We, as the financial support system of credit unions, are committed to the "people helping people" concept of credit unions as cooperative financial institutions. Our purpose is to provide credit unions with a favorable operating environment and quality information, products and services which have value, and which enable credit unions to exist, compete and prosper in the financial marketplace.

This beautiful resort was opened in December of 2000 and is located at Alona Beach, Panglao, Bohol. The resort was build on a spacious 5000m2 lot and consists of a restaurant with bar, swimming pool and 12 rooms housed in 6 spacious duplex (two under one roof) cottages. All cottages are made out of native materials, such as bamboo and wood and are covered with nipa (leaves) roofs, giving the resort a very natural, authentic look.
Welcome to Bohol!
God's Little Paradise, as it is sometimes called by the Boholanos themselves. This is not fully unjustified, as the island is one of the most diverse and most attractive destinations in the Philippines. Within its area of about 4200 square kilometers, it houses countless white sandy beaches, numerous historic churches and watchtowers, enchanting waterfalls and caves, and, unique in the world, its amazing and stunning Chocolate Hills.
Scenic Bohol casts an enigmatic charm drawn from the many archaic mementos spread throughout the oval-shaped island unique rock formations to a 45-million-year-old mammal species, to massive stone watchtowers built by the Spaniards in the 18th century. Surrounding the mainland are 73 other smaller offshore islands and islets whose palm-fringed coastlines are rimmed by white sand and sheltering coves. Serpentine coastal highways wind along unsullied beaches and rustic rivers where the tourist can stop at any point and jump in for a dip.
Bohol is famous for whale watching, river cruising, smallest primate-Tarsier, Sandugo Festival, beaches, scuba diving, mountain climbing, caving, cambuhat oyster farm (ecotourism activity), Bird watching
Town visits promise exciting cultural treats that include scheduled performances by the Teatro Bolanon, Dimiao Rondalla, Diwanag Dance Theater and the award-winning Loboc Children's Choir.
Bohol is an anchor tourist destination and one of the 7,000 times more islands that make up the Philippine archipelago.

North Bay : Michelin's recommendations
This resort centre on the shores of Lake Nipissing lies on the ancient canoe route linking the St. Lawrence valley to the upper Great Lakes. The La Vase portage connected the waters of Trout Lake and the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers with Lake Nipissing, the French River and Georgian Bay. Today these waters used solely for recreational purposes. The area was largely wilderness until the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1882, when it developed into a railway transport hub, supported by lumber and mining industries.

Desert Isle Keeper Review
Dragonfly in Amber
Diana Gabaldon
1993 reissue of 1992 release, Time Travel Romance
Dell, $7.99, 960 pages, Amazon ASIN 0440215625Part of a series
Dragonfly In Amber follows two storylines. The past line, where we see Jamie and Claire playing every card they have in order to stop Bonnie Prince Charlies doomed uprising against the English in 1745, and when those efforts fail, doing everything they can to ensure that he will succeed. The present line is where we find out that Claire returned to her own time when Jamie realized that his Sassenach was pregnant, and on the eve of the Battle of Culloden, sent her forward home to a safer time, in a raw, furiously heart-wrenching scene filled with love, tears, blood, and sex.
After giving up the man she loved with all her heart and soul, Claire couldnt bring herself to find out what his fate was at Culloden Moor, despite the fact that Frank Randall, her first husband was, of all things, a Jacobite scholar. It is only twenty years later, when Frank is dead, that Claire is absolved of the promise she made to him - the promise to both allow him to raise Jamies daughter, Brianna, as his own, and to tell her nothing of her true parentage. Frank was, by all accounts, a devoted father, and Brianna, who worships his memory, stubbornly refuses to believe her mothers fantastic tale of living with a Scottish Highlander in the 1740s for three years.
Regardless, Claire decides that now is the time to find the truth. Helping Claire in her quest is Roger Wakefield, whom we met in Outlander as the five-year-old adopted son of the Reverend Wakefield. Roger, who will play a very important role in this and the following novels, walks a fine line between his scholarly fascination with the fate of the men who were such an integral part of Claires life, and his attraction to Brianna Randall. In the end, it is his discovery of a document (a real life document which, according to master-of-research Gabaldon, was the one that finally gave the character of Jamie his last name) and the information in it that close the book, paving the way for Voyager, the next installment in the series.
Claire, resourceful as ever, moves easily from the rough conditions on the road to the warmth of Jamie's family life at Lallybroch, to the gilded royal court in pre-Revolutionary France. She is filled with sensual delight when it comes to Jamie. In modern times, she finds joy in her tall, redheaded, stubborn, Viking-boned daughter, and continues to mourn the loss of her gallant Highlander.
Jamie is as intense and striking a charcter as you will find in any novel. His love for Claire is so deep and strong that he finds death a preferable fate to life without her, and resigns himself to dying honorably at Culloden. Loyal, strong, intense in every emotion, Jamie Fraser is the redheaded stuff of which dreams are made.
Their relationship is never given a respite; it grows because of, and despite, the extreme and varied circumstances in which they find themselves. Claire demands much from Jamie, especially in an incident involving the evil Jack Randall, a fact Jamie throws back at Claire, reminding her of the hell he went through at the mans hands. Jamie, in turn, reacts violently when faced with his worst demon, and his actions nearly cost Claire her life. His ability to hide his emotions is matched by Claires inability to disguise what she is feeling, and overriding all, is the overwhelming passion they feel for each other.
Other characters in the novel are well rounded, adding to the story and never distracting, some of them even having more lives than they deserve. Take Geillis Duncan, the time-traveling witch who was burned in the past, and who is also Rogers direct ancestor. The pickpocket Claudel, whom Jamie baptizes with the more manly name of Fergus, and adopts as his son, not to mention Charles Stuart, the Bonnie Prince himself, these are all people we could recognize in the street. From far, far away, in the case of Jack Randall.
This is definitely not a stand-alone book, and after reading Outlander, I couldnt well just stop there. It is a testament to Gabaldons extraordinary skill that Dragonfly In Amber manages to lure us all the way back in, and we are only too willing to follow.

Hello everybody.
I can't load up my FM09. I will load it up via steam, and it will get to the bit where it has the word "loading" in different languages, then it will come out and there will be a XML parsing error saying "not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 of last_saved_game.XML"
I was having a really good season with Charlton Athletic in my first season and I don't really want to delete my saved game, but I can't even access the home page.
If someone has experienced this and knows how to solve the problem, please reply. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Good news for those hoping to see Desiree Hartsock and her fiance Chris Siegfried back on their TV screens soon. Wetpaint Entertainment reported on Wednesday, Jan. 15, that Des and Chris will be at Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici's wedding.
"Desiree is coming," said a source.
Accompanying her, of course, is Chris, who beat out all other "Bachelorette" contestants for her hand in marriage.
Des and Chris aren't attending Sean and Catherine's wedding because they're such good pals however. According to the source, it's the ABC network who really wants the latest "Bachelorette" couple at the January wedding.
"It was ABC's [idea]. They like having all their 'success stories' at major events like these and Des and Chris are the latest ones," revealed the source.
Sean and Catherine's wedding on January 26 looks set to be a who's who of "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" personalities. Both Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Jef Holm, who competed with Sean for Emily Maynard's heart, have basically revealed that they're going to the wedding. Perhaps Emily herself and her new fiance, Tyler Johnson, will also attend?!?!
Are you excited to watch Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici's wedding?

Black Leather by DreamWalker412Watch
©2013-2016 DreamWalker412
I'm sooo in love with my new leather trousers xD
I really hope you will like this *-* is so very simple...even though the matte top coat is not the best thing to seal little pearls on the nails xD
much love
I really hope you will like this *-* is so very simple...even though the matte top coat is not the best thing to seal little pearls on the nails xD
much love
Che figata! *-*
ti piace?? *-* hahah anche se le microperle non hanno avuto una vita lunga xD il top coat matte non è un grande fissante purtroppo
OMG the nails look like a cool jacket or something, nails to wear, really cool :3
yes I do love holographic polishes too! but I've never found a very good one...the only ones that I can find round here they are just glittery, no holographic effect T.T
awww, try that one you can order it online. I found it on ebay but you can always go to their website they have several colors. I bought a holographic nail polish the other day but it doesn't look like that at all. still kinda cool though it looks blue in some light and green in others. really hard to focus when driving....
hahah ...or studying o.o
what is this studying you speak of? *staring at nails*
eheh you told me that your polish is blue in some light and green in others and that it's really hard to focus when driving...well for me it's hard to focus also when studying for my exams when I've got s shiny polish on I keep on getting distracted eheh
hahaha yeah. I tried this magnetic polish but it didn't come out right so I'm going back to the blue-green.
That is freaken awesome.
Ooooo I like it! I think you did an excellent choice with the matte instead of a shiny top coat. It gives the realistic look of leather! ^^ Very nice!!
thank you sooo much *-* yes I really liked that effect too, even though the whole nail art was really unstable because I kept on losing the pearls little by little xD

Denver's first food incubator market TheBigWonderful is thrilled to announce that local libation authority, Stuart Jensen, will be serving up three of his inventive cocktails at the event each week. Well known as a local talent behind the bar at the Green Russell and recent award winner of ShakeStir's Denver Flash Cocktail Competition, Jensen will be featuring a variety of locally sourced and freshly made cocktails each week. Jensen and Josh Sampson, the founder of TheBigWonderful, met while Jensen was bartending at the Green Russell and Josh was enjoying a cocktail at the bar. They struck up a conversation about Denver's ever-growing food scene and what it was missing compared to other great food cities around the country. From this conversation, was born the concept of TheBigWonderful and a homegrown partnership.
"Josh and I hit it off right away because we both knew that Denver needed more events like this," said Jensen. "After coming up with the idea of TheBigWonderful, he came back and told me about what he had in store, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it."
In addition to concepting a unique menu of rotating cocktails each week and serving them to attendees, Jensen will also be working to secure local beverage vendors for the market. Thus far, confirmed participants include the Breckenridge Distillery, Peach Street Distillers, Great Divide Brewery and Oskar Blues Brewery.
TheBigWonderful is a low-cost, high-traffic option to try something new. For foodies, that means free admission to a market offering affordable, delicious, inspiring local foods. For vendors, it's a year-round locale that offers entrepreneurs and established businesses a place to pilot new concepts. Each business has the chance to get noticed for their talents, drive revenue and test their creations, while keeping all proceeds from their sales to help ignite their business. TheBigWonderful's Grand Opening will take place on Saturday, July 12th at Sustainability Park (26th and Lawrence) in Denver, with more than 50 unique, healthy and palate-pleasing foods, bohemian brews and useful crafts. Vendors interested in submitting can apply for the entire summer here. A significant percentage of the proceeds will benefit The Urban Farmers Collaborative as well as several other charitable organizations.
"We are so excited to have Stuart be our local libation expert for TheBigWonderful," said Co-Founder Josh Sampson. "The event offers something for everyone complete with a beer garden, an endless number of mouth-watering tastes, live music and now some of Denver's best cocktails."
The list of confirmed vendors are widely varied and range from national concepts looking to expand to Denver's growing food scene, like Victory Coffee, a NY-based, 'Willy Wonka' Style Coffee to more culturally diverse concepts including, A Taste of the Philippines, and their hand-rolled Filipino-style egg rolls known as Lumpias. TheBigWonderful will also feature numerous food truck purveyors including the popular Ba-Nom-a-Nom's gluten, dairy, additive and sugar free "fro yo" and East Coast Joe's traditional Maine lobster rolls and crab roll.
Here's what to expect at TheBigWonderful:
Sustainable practices: TheBigWonderful seeks to bring the best of Denver's emerging food scene to the masses without leaving a footprint. That means no two booths are the same, and there's no waste. All organic waste is recycled back to farms to produce nutrient-rich soil.
All are welcome: From date night to family time, TheBigWonderful truly is an experience all can enjoy. Open every Saturday, from 11am to dusk and Final Fridays from 5pm to 10pm.
Beats, brews and big ideas: Local DJs from the famous Cervantes, brewers and entrepreneurs join in the fun, creating an event that provides more than just good food, but a locally sourced block party of epic proportions.

Harris Hill Ski Jump | Brattleboro, VT
Which brings us to this sun-splashed February day, one winter ago. It's noon. A woman stands holding scissors beside a ribbon stretched across the base of Harris Hill. She is Sandy Harris, Fred's only child. She's dressed in black ski pants and jacket; her blond hair blows a bit in the wind.
Along the hillside people are packed three deep. Small children sit watching on top of their fathers' shoulders. You can smell burgers and sausages frying under the tents.
The athletes, lean as gazelles, their faces young and eager, wait attentively for the ribbon cutting. They've come from Austria, Slovenia, Colorado, Lake Placid, the Midwest, New England.
Can you imagine what Sandy Harris is feeling at this moment? "My first memory is of being with my father at the hill," she says later. "He'd be working on the hill and I'd play with my toys." Forty-eight years after his death she feels this: "It was chilling to realize that after all this time, his hill is still so important to the town. There's a sense of his presence. He instilled something in that jump that was contagious. It inspired people to give years of their lives to it. To keep it alive. "
She cuts the ribbon and the skiers start down, one, then another. And how can anyone watch and not feel that they themselves have caught big air and are riding the current into the happy cheers of the people of Brattleboro?

MIAMI, FL (WOAI) - Beware of dog kisses. The urban legend that dogs' mouths are very clean is just that.
Scientists at Nova Southeastern University found evidence of Nyceria, a bacteria linked to STDs and pneumonia, after taking swabs of saliva from dogs in the West Palm Beach area.
They urge people to consider where a dog tends to lick and where they might have licked before turning to you.

Odell Hathaway, our guest/friend/budding videographer likes to take pics and video of me doing the "Food Tour" at breakfast time. You might be able to focus on the food in the video while I am focusing on my ever-drooping face! Both are entertaining. In this video, I have prepared breakfast for a small group of returning guests a couple of weekends ago. Bill was in Eugene for the weekend and I had our guests/friends all to myself! The baked apple french toast I am describing is an adapted recipe originally from The Shelburne Inn, our dear friends, David and Laurie. I love making this dish–something you can put together the night before and bake in the morning. Thanks to Odell for posting this video to YouTube! Come to Boreas Inn–we have availability over Memorial Day weekend—which is NEXT weekend. We promise to make you very happy indeed at our Long Beach Washington Bed and Breakfast. Boreas inn is upscale, but never pretentious!

The task of striking a balance between complexity of interface and in-game challenge can be a difficult one for even some seasoned AAA developers, so when a game manages to strike that perfect sweet spot it deserves recognition. Aerial beat 'em up Aces Wild is just such a game, and from the moment the title card hits it makes no attempt to hide what it's all about: colorful, high-energy, over-the-top action. The provided tutorial is on the vague side, but after a little trial and error you'll be soaring through the air and dodging attacks between explosive kills with incredible, empowering ease. Difficulty ramps up along with your super meter, resulting in a seamlessly elegant risk/reward system that never feels unfair as its hand constantly pushes at your back, urging you forward to try for an even higher score, all of which is decorated by aesthetics that wear their Eastern inspirations proudly and evoke the best of both the Newgrounds Flash game boom and the beat 'em up cabinet games of arcades' glory days. Put briefly, Aces Wild is candy for the brain and a full calisthenics routine for the thumbs. It absolutely begs to be played.
