4 December 1868 • (2nd of 2) • New York, N.Y.
(MS, damage emended: CU-MARK, UCCL 02725)
Dec. 4.
‸☞ The last page of the last letter (to-day) was 5.1
Now! I got down stairs with my letter just after the mail had gone to the postoffice, but I bribed a bell-boy to break his neck getting there with it before the mail should close—& so I suppose it is all right.2
You have done right, Livy. Put before me all your doubts & fears—all your troubles. As you say, & as you know, you may feel sure of my "patience toward, & brave words to," you. And you saw how your confess‸ion‸ ed soothed you & revived your love. We will "help to bear one another's burdens," Livy, & both shall be [ t ]better, & stronger, & happier for it. I am grieved to see you harassed with [misgivings]—& yet am I cruelly content that it is so, for only [ I ◇ through ]such can come a love that shall be noble, lasting, & without alloy or blemish. Your Gold must pass through the batteries, the concentrators, the amalgamators, the assay office, the smelting furnace, the assay office, the refiner's exquisitely fervent & cleansing fires—all before it can become minted coin & bear the stamp that shall testify its perfected worth to men. It was gold at first, Livy—it was only hidden from sight among base metals in homely quartz. Let your doubts & your fears pass one by one to death & oblivion, in [ ther their ]due & proper season, Livy, even as the galena, the antimony & the pyrites drift from the batteries & are lost.
"Do not believe in any mortal as you believe in your Savior." Forgive me, Livy, if I uttered such a thing irreverently—for it could not fail to wound you. I am thinking, thinking, thinking—but nothing comes back to me now but something I said about an "eastern [ ded devotee ]& his idol."3 The thought of unquestioning devotion always brings [ m ]before me some pictures I saw in a Sunday School book when I was a boy, of Hindoo devotees swinging on hooks thrust into their backs—holding out an arm till it withered—making incredible journeys on their knees & s bruising their heads against the ground at every third step—casting themselves under the Car of Juggernaut,4 etc.—all to find favor with hideous ‸majestic‸ idols that smiled not nor gave any sign. But you will forgive me, Livy. I did not mean to hurt you. I could not do that, with deliberate intent.
And you are not "Perfection"—no? And I shan't say you are? There you go, again, you dear little concentration of l Literalness! Why, bless your good old heart, nobody said you considered yourself perfection—no! It is I—& Mrs. Brooks—& Mrs. Fairbanks—& all else that know you—that [considere you ]perfection—& I warn you that we shall go on saying it (to ourselves,) notwithstanding your tyrannical, illegal & outrageous edict stops us henceforth from saying ‸it‸ to you! If I were to bring the Constitution of the United States to bear upon this question, I co (where it speaks of free speech & freedom of the press,) I could easily show you that I have a perfect right to say it to you, too—[ I & ]I would, too, if I dared to disobey you, you awful tyrant! Oh, w don't you mind what I shall "discover some day"—I shall just discover what I have already discovered—that I love, love, love, love, love, LOVE l you!—multiplied by a hundred & fifty! And so loving you I note your faults, & knight them with my love, & call them the perfection of faults (for I have searched them out & I know what they are.) They are—1, The using of slang (but you didn't know it was slang, my little angel by brevet, else you wouldn't have used it); 2. The leaving off of blue ribbons at times (which is unconstitutional & unsustain[e]d by law); 3. The appearing five minutes late at breakfast, every morning, when I have been watching the door for ages & ages to see you enter, radiant & beautiful, & fill all the dull air with [sunshine;) ]4. But your most heinous fault is in loving me—& I pray that it may grow, & grow, & grow, till it shall usurp all your being & leave you nothing but one stately, magnificent, concentrated, sublimated, overwhelming Fault for all Time! Livy, you are a true Woman—for when did ever a woman condescend to show why one of her imperious assertions should be received as incontrovertible fact? I couldn't help smiling at the truly feminine confidence [with ]which you simply asserted that you were not perfection, & then calmly changed the subject without every offering a word or hint of argument or testimony to support it! {But I take it all back, my darling, my idol—for you are sensitive to irony, & must feel it, even though you do know that ‸when‸ it goes from me to you, it can never be aught else that ‸than‸ loving badinage & is forbidden to bear with it a sting. And beside, your simple word, which never yet was doubted, stands superior to all argument & evidence—when you speak, it is the King that speaks—the monarch's word is Truth, & unimpeachable—& when you say & I doubt, I shall no longer stand worthy to be called leal & true subject of thine, O loved & honored liege!}
Livy, I am doing according to the valued privilege you have accorded me—I am telling you all I feel & think & do—[ I & ]I am grateful that you give to me your confidence. The very least little thing you do, is full of interest to me & I pray you tell it me. If another tells me he w rode or walked, sat, sang or went to church, it is nothing—but when you tell me you did it, I devour it as though I were absorbing priceless learning. When you said you were quietly located in your room, ready to have a little visit with me, I saw you, just as plainly as if I had been there beside you, with my eager arms about you & looking into your dear eyes. If I could only take you to my arms now, & imprint upon your forehead the kiss of reverent Honor, & upon your lips the kiss of Love, imperishable & undefiled!
Livy, I wrote your father Wednesday (whose honor & respect, & yo likewise your mother's I hope always to deserve & hold,) & I tried to seem lively, but somehow I couldn't get over the dread that you were ill—& so I begged him to let me come up, if only for an hour or two—but I am reassured & comfortable now. If he dares to ridicule me I shan't inflict another letter on him for three or ‸four‸ weeks! But do you know, if I hadn't got your letter to-day I would have arrived in Elmira tomorrow night? Indeed I would. You were saved as by fire.5 I wouldn't have passed another such a day as yesterday for anything. [torn in order to cancel:] I [ [ pose] I ru[i an's]
[twenty lines (about 120 words) torn away]
[keep th y]u, el[] ] I wouldn't have been betrayed into this confession6—& so I rely on you not to take advantage of my confidence to go & make yourself sorry.
And now, being in a confessing mood, I bow my expectant head for your forgiveness, & proceed to reveal to you that I told Dan—& have told the Twichell's—& my sister—& Mrs. Fairbanks. What a load is off my conscience now! But observe, Livy, I know who to tell. These several parties are very, very dear to me—& each is a sealed book. Our secret is safe in their hands—as safe as though it were shut within the fabled copper vessel of Arabian story & sealed with the seal of Solomon, lord of the genii.7 I do wish you could read Twichell's letter—magnificent fellow! Let me give you an extract or two:
"Receive my benediction, Mark—my very choicest! I breathe it toward you—that particular doxologic & hallelujah formula thereof which I use on occasions which but for the sake of propriety I should celebrate by a smiting of my thigh, a grand pas seul & three cheers with a tiger!—a style of Te Deum which somehow I never could manage to execute successfully in the pulpit. Bless you, my son!—yea, Bless you, my children both!!"
And here is another:
"I do congratulate you, dear friend, with all the power of congratulation that is in me, (I speak for my wife, of course, when I say "I," as I always do when writing to any of our common loves) & I congratulate her. If I could do anything to help you in the matter, I would, joyfully. Command me if you have any use for me. I don't know anything about your past; but it does seem to me that a fellow, whom I have found so thoroughly lovable for a whole fortnight of quite free intercourse can't have become incapable of a character worthy any man's or woman's respect. I don't care very much about your past, but I do care very much about your future. I hope & expect, that it will be a nobly lived, happy, pure & useful future, ending with the dear life eternal which our Savior gives for repentance & faith. Now is the best time you will ever see for giving your heart to God. Your heart, with this new, sacred love in it is a more precious thing to offer God than it was without it. You never have been able to bring so worthy a gift to h Him as now. And while you are in the mood of gratitude, as I know you are, & all full of tender feelings, begin with genuine diligence to pray for & seek that peace in believing in Jesus Christ & knowing Him that is so sweet as to sweeten even the most joyful earthly joys. Be assured, my friend, I have not forgotten you in my secret hours with God, & I shall not."
It is just like him—the gorgeous, whole-souled fellow! What splendid nights we had together!—& how gently & how tenderly he taught the religion that is all in all to him. And shall be to me, likewise, I hope & pray. You can see that he knew all about it before! He & his wi dear little wife used to try to comfort me, but they made slim progress at it! But when they would grow discouraged & [down-hearted], it made me sorry & forthwith I lifted them up—I told them that even though you remained adamant for five years, a love like mine must melt you at last—for I could not & would not give you up! Bold [ worl words], my precious Livy, but not the words of base egotism—only words of strong love, & courage, faith & deathless hope—none else. I do not inclose Twichell's entire letter, simply because I am sending you enough MS. of my own to tire you out—I want you to read it all, ‸(his letter, I mean,)‸ whenever I can learn to write a shorter letter myself.
Livy, while I think of it, if you want a perfectly fascinating study, & one that will exercise your noble analytical faculty, try phonographic short-hand. It is worthy a dozen languages, for pure usefulness.8
I freely send Mrs. Fairbanks' letter to you,
I don't cut Mrs. F.'s letter in two to tease you, Livy—I only do it because I want to show it to you myself & talk with you about it some day. There are no secrets in it, & nothing to be concealed from you. I shall not lose my half of it, for I will put it with your letter received to– day—& you know I shall not lose it then, unless I lose my coat. But wouldn't you like to know what the rest of that sentence about the Sphynx? Well, I can't refuse you anything—& so you may add this:
"- - - sesame to her [ pole ]poetical nature. I know it will be that richness of a pure imagination, the royal part of yourself, that will hold her in your spell."
See how trustingly I furnish you with armor to shield you from my love & shut me out of your heart. She says, likewise:
"Your sweet secret is safe—but I have no secrets from my husband," &c, &c, &c., & tells how that good old fellow she let his eyes fill with tears over my [letter. They ]tell me in Cleveland that very few people have bored through the shell & got into his heart, as I have done. It pleased Mrs. Fairbanks, you may depend. Livy, I don't claim to fascinate any creature—but I do claim that I sooner or later, when I love a friend, I prove to him that I am worthy of every confidence, every trust—& I say to you, now, Livy, on the honor of a man my word of honor as a man, that I never yet made [ ‸ an individu ‸ a man ] ‸an individual‸ a friend, called him my friend, & lost him. Gracious, how you do make me say unseemly things! I would hardly dare to say that to any but you, lest I should be set down for a loud-mouthed boaster.
Further, Mrs. F. says she fully understands my caution to remember that my fate was still in your hands & undecided—that our projected & expected engagement was not yet consummated, because you wanted to make sure that you loved me, first, & your father & mother wanted to see whether I was going to prove that I have a private (& improving) character as well as a public one. And then she says:
"True, a—a but all those conditions rest with [ you rself ]—& could a man play such treason with himself as to let go what you have so nearly won?"
Bless her good old soul, she knows perfectly well that though conditions & obstructions were piled as high as Chimborazo9 I would climb over them all! I would, Livy. For my life is in it. Possibly more—who but He, shall say?
[in margin: [I relent, Livy, & enclose such of that nonsense as has not been destroyed].]
[six lines (about 35 words) torn away]
[torn in order to cancel:] e[a]y.
And she says: "Of course you must live in Cleveland." That is what I want to do. Don't you? Now say you do, Livy, there's a dear good girl. Mrs. Fairbanks, & Mrs. Severance, & little Mrs. Foote, & sweet Mother Crocker, would so love you & minister unto you that you would hardly know you were not at home.10 But bless me, I am doing an inconsiderate thing to scare you in this way. I am too premature—& so I seem to be always trying to hurry you—but I don't mean to, Livy—kiss me & be friends again.
The rest of her letter is all splendid good advice—nearly all—& I shall keep it. I always do try to follow that venerable woman's advice—& yours too—you whom I love, love, love, Livy.
I am in such a fidget to get the picture! Please send it right away, Livy—never mind how you [look. Why ]you are not more wan ‸worn‸ now than you were when I was there, for you have slept & rested since—& I do know that no human being was ever so beautiful as you were when you came in, that last afternoon, regally robed in blue.
[[twenty-nine lines (about 180 words) torn away]]
Monday & write me, won't you? Please do, Livy, & direct it to the Metropolitan Hotel, & I shall get it Tuesday. And if I don't, I shall walk clear up to the Everett House, thinking that possibly you have misdirected it—& there'll be snow on the ground, & such a walk as that will be [ tr terrible], Livy. And I must lecture in Newark the very next night (Wednesday,) & shall need a kiss & a kind word from you to help me do my duty by those people—& you know who they are, Livy—they are first-class, intelligent people, who do business in New York & reside in Newark. Next comes my lecture here, Dec. 14 (unless I manage to get out of it—which prospect begins to look dark, now)—11 Next is Scranton, Pa., Dec. 16—next is Fort Plain, (New York)—next comes my long Western tour, beginning with Detroit, Dec. 23. Now can't I stop and see you—only for two or three hours—on Dec. 20? Can't I li Livy? I [ do shan't ]mind walking there from Fort Plain. Please ask Mrs. Langdon. Tell her I will cheerfully scalp all the gossips that venture to comment on it. [in margin: T Tell "grandma"12I will help her out of trouble if she will give me a chance when she gets into it.]
I have read [ vi ]Corinthians,13 Livy, & shall read more in the Bible before I go to bed—& be sure I shall do all I can to profit by what you have written concerning religion. And I shall pray (& for you as well,)—not only at stated hours, but often. I have increased courage, now. [in margin: Livy, I see you are troubled because you have small faith in‸that‸ my efforts to become a Christian [‸will succeed‸—]or because you believe I still lean on you. Be comforted, dear. I have given up the latter, long ago.Ihope—& with high courage—in the former—why cannot you?]
I was at Old Trinity14 last Sunday (now I am commencing again!—do bear with me, Livy,) & in the afternoon I called on Mrs. Brooks & staid till 10 at night.
[marginal note (about 15 to 20 words) torn away]
Upon my word it was not my fault, Livy. She kept talking—I knew I was a fool for not going—knew it all the time—but she kept talking ‸about‸ you, & I couldn't go. She never gave me a chance to go, anyhow. But I am honestly ashamed, & I shan't go there again, soon, except to ask her pardon. I didn't talk about you—I didn't dare to—at the third sentence she'd have guessed our secret, & then—why, you couldn't have told her yourself, you know. Two hours of this time I spent at church with Josie Polhemus—& on the way, she asked after Mr. Langdon's health & I said he had been very sick for many days, but was getting well, now. She said: "Why, Miss Livy didn't write that—she only said he was unwell—why didn't she say it?"
[marginal note (about 15 to 20 words) torn away]
I said it was because you forgot it. Then this young woman clapped her hands for very joy!—joy that you had a fault,! [ in your charac ]—joy that the model so persistently held up for her emulation, had betrayed a blemish!—for behold, you could forget such a thing! Ah, Livy, how noble it is to do good! How much worthier it was in me to confer this precious happiness upon this innocent young creature than it would have been to have spent the time in frivolous conversation! Bless me, ◇◇◇ Livy—for have I not been doing good in an humble way?
Good-bye—& rest & peace be thine. ◇◇◇ I love you, Livy!
Forever yours,
Samℓ. L. C.
P.S.—Late at night. Now that I have read your letter over again, slowly & carefully, I seem convinced that I am not making a progress toward a better life worthy any one's faith, or hope, or regard. And so, —forth I drift again into the moonless night of despondency. Since I saw you, I have not said one word, or done one deed, that I take blame to myself for—no, nor even thought one such thought, maybe—I remember none now. And yet what is there in my heart at this moment but bitterness—& hatred of myself for my clinging wickedness—& contempt for myself for putting such easy faith in these aspirations after better things, that breathe the word of promise to our ear & break it to our hope? What is there in my heart but sinking confidence—what in the earth I stand upon but graves—what in the air about me but phantoms—what in the firmament above my [head ]but clouds & thick darkness, closing the gates of heaven against me?
I thought to burn this letter—but it is the reflex of—no matter.
Pray for me—if you [can. For ] I cannot. pray. And yet I will, if the words choke me.
And so I mail this—so happily begun, so sadly finished. ended.
{From that Book.}:
"My Mother, would I might
But be your little child to-night,
And feel your arms about me fold,
Against this loneliness & cold!" 15
‸I do love you, Livy, & so I scratched it out—for it [might ]have made you unhappy. I kiss you.‸
Will the sun come again in the morning? I hate myself for being so unmanned—so fallen—so debased. Where is your [ love love ] now, Livy?
[on back of letter as folded:] I have torn up several sheets trying to reduce this to a decent length. But I can't. [on back of envelope:]
upsomeof it—
however, I shall succeed
better next time.

|Visiting the Gold Rush
California's State Parks include many locations associated with the Gold Rush and early California statehood, including Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, where gold was first found, Malakoff Diggings State Historic Park, the site of hydraulic gold mining in the late 1800s, Empire Mine State Historic Park, one of the richest producers in the Mother Lode, and the California Mining and Mineral Museum. Indian Grinding Rocks State Park, the California State Indian Museum and Sutter's Fort State Historic Park. All depict life in California before the Gold Rush.
Old Sacramento State Historic Park contains sites associated with the Gold Rush, including the Eagle Theatre, a recreation of the first building in California erected as a theater, and the B.F. Hastings Building, a commercial structure which was the western terminus of the Pony Express and site of the California State Supreme Court chambers during the 1850s.

Giant Damselfish, Microspathodon dorsalis: The Giant Damselfish is characterized by its size and by its trailing, filamentous dorsal and anal fins.
The edges of its major fins may also be white-rimmed. Juvenile Giant Damselfish have less developed fins and can vary in color from blue (with color generated by small bright blot spots on each scale) to yellow, and various mixtures.
This fish species is similar in appearance to the Acapulco Major, Stegastes acapulcoensis, the Bumphead Damselfish, Microspathodon bairdii, the Cortez Damselfish, Stegastes rectifraenum, and the Oval Damselfish, Chromis alta, but all of the above lack the trailing ventrical fins.
These fish are normally found around large boulders just beyond the surge zone within the first 75 feet of the water column. The Giant Damselfish is very aggressive when feeding habits and defending its territory. We have a fish in our possession that measures 37.8 cm (14.9 inches) which extends the known maximum of this species from 31.0 cm (12.2 inches).
In Mexico, the Giant Damselfish is found on both sides of the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula, on the mainland south of Mazatlan, and around all oceanic islands except Clipperton.
The Giant Damselfish is a member of the Pomacentridae or Damselfish Family of small, very colorful reef fishes.

This review and recommendation is about Moon Boy. It is by Lee YoungYou. It is released by Ice Kunion and Yen Press in the USA. It is a 9 volume series, but only seven have been released here.
It's about a girl named Myung-Ee. She is an Earth Rabbit. What is an Earth Rabbit? No, its not the little fluffy rabbits you find in the wild or in a pet store. They are a race of people from the Earth Moon, who after an attack from the Fox tribe escaped to Earth and blended in with humans so well that they lost all their powers. The main characteristic at knowing if someone is an Earth rabbit is their eyes. They are always irritated which cause them to cry at moments when they don't feel the emotional compulsion to cry. This story starts with Myung-Ee talking to her best friend about boys on her way to school. She meets a boy named Yu-Da Lee. They seem to have something in common with their eyes although they do not realize that the are part of a dying race of peoples. Until the boy she has a crush on tells her. This boy just so happens to be a member of the Fox tribe. She gets away, but later on Yu-Da disappears and no one seems to remember him.
About six years later, she transfers into a new school, because of the rumor of the school 'producing' extremely cute boys. On her first day she meets someone who looks and has the same name as Yu-Da. But he doesn't remember her. What happens next? You'll have to read to find out!
This series is recommended for Teens and older. It has some violence and slight sexual content. This particular series is technically manwha (Korean comics) which traditional format is left to right. This series is shoujo for the most part, because of all the drama, humor, and slight soap opera situations. Some scenes are slightly immature, but that's what you get when the character starts out as a 10 year old and then after a time skip she's 15-16 years old. Not much changes in how some characters act in span of time.
If you live in the Colorado Springs area, you can find this series at your local PPLD, but only the first volume, and at any bookstore that sells manga. Think of it this way you can borrow the first volume at the library and if you like it you can by from the bookstore. Happy Reading!

Vestavia Hills, Ala.- Looking to continue one of the hottest starts to a season since 2007, the Mississippi State men's golf team will travel to Alabama on Monday for the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate.
The two-day event will tee off from the par 71 6,936-yard course with a 36-hole two-round day one. The final 18 holes will be played on Tuesday from the Old Overton Country Club.
"This is our fourth consecutive year to play in 'the Pate' and each year the field is strong," said Bulldog men's golf coach Clay Homan. "It will give us the opportunity to see how we stack up against some of the elite teams in the country."
The SEC will be represented well in the Jerry Pate with four clubs from the conference competing. Florida, Auburn and host-Alabama will join MSU at the Old Overton Country Club; it will be the first time this season the Bulldogs will have squared off against these SEC teams. Alongside the SEC teams fighting for victory on Monday will be out-of-conference teams Clemson, Minnesota, Middle Tennessee State, Samford, South Alabama, UAB, UNLV and West Florida.
MSU has never won as a team in the Jerry Pate, which will be played for the 28th time after Monday. The Maroon and White have however claimed the top spot on the individual side of things, with former Bulldog Steve Pope winning the tourney in 1990.
The most likely Bulldog to repeat what Pope did over 20 years ago will be junior Chad Ramey. The Fulton, Miss., native has a couple of incredible streaks that he will be bringing to the Yellowhammer state this trip. Ramey has placed at least a Top 25 finish in his last 10 events, a feat that stretches all the way back to the Gator Invitational. Top 10 finishes are looking too easy for the junior as well, with four Top 10 posts in a row dating back to last season.
Junior Joe Sakulpolphaisan has been heating up on the course for MSU in his first season with the Bulldogs. The Thailand native has placed three Top 25 finishes in his opening season with State. Included in those finishes is a sixth-place posting at the Bulldogs last event, the David Toms.
Joining the Maroon and White this week will be a trio of Bulldogs fresh off traveling half way around the world to compete in the World Amateurs. The trio of senior Robi Calvesbert, junior Axel Boasson and true freshman Haraldur Magnus will all be on MSU's line-up for the Jerry Pate.
Calvesbert will be looking to build off his last appearance for MSU a 23rd place finish at the Mason Randolph. Boasson also had a phenomenal showing at the Vanderbilt-hosted event, a 17th place finish that was aided by a second-round 67. Magnus will be competing in his first tournament on the Bulldogs' scorecard. The Iceland native competed in the season-opening Sam Hall event as an individual, where he finished 21st overall.
After concluding the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate, the Bulldogs will head to Greensboro, N.C. for the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate. The tournament on Oct. 27-28 will be the final event for the fall season.Fans who want to keep track of State on the golf course can follow the Maroon and White on Twitter @mstateMG and on Facebook at facebook.com/mstateMG

Chinese Takeout

|Chinese Takeout
Luis takes out the Triads trying to kill him and Tony.
|The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Gay Tony
|Blog This!...
|Unlocked by
|I Luv LC
Chinese Takeout is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is given to the protagonist Luis Lopez by nightclub owner Gay Tony from Maisonette 9 in Westminster, Algonquin, Liberty City.
After the game's introductory mission, Luis receives a text message from Tony to meet him at the Maisonette 9 club. Upon your arrival, you'll watch as Luis heads inside automatically, and waits for Tony to conclude a phone conversation. Hereafter, Tony rushes Luis back outside. It appears he needs to be driven to a location in Chinatown.
Get into the Schafter and drive to the Dragon Heart Plaza. Tony will give you an Assault SMG, which Luis will call "some sci-fi shit". When you finally arrive at the meeting, you'll see a Chinese mobster speaking with a familiar character. After Luis is rather clear that he and Tony aren't patsies to sort out the Chinese character's licensing issue, a gun is drawn. Seemingly in a bind, Luis eventually overpowers the Chinese mobster, kicking the gun out of his hand and sending him into an unconscious swoon on the concrete ground. Unfortunately, a bullet is fired off from the gun, and the noise from the shot has alerted his friends.
You have to escape the building, using the P90 to kill all opposing Triads as you descend. Some enemies will have grenades, so be careful in the narrow hallways. There is a Combat Shotgun in one of the unfinished rooms, and some armor in another. Once you reach the bottom, drop Tony back at his house to complete the mission.

The Chinese mobster talking to Billy Grey.
Luis and Tony escaping from the Dragon Heart Plaza.
- Shooting the Chinese mobster after Luis knocks him out, no matter how much or where, will never kill him.
- When Billy Grey is speaking with the mobster, he is likely arranging the Triad ambush on Johnny, which takes place in that very room. He says that he hopes "his brother" will be taken care of. The mobster remarks that "the definition of family loyalty must be different in this country". Billy says a "disloyal Jew bastard" (Johnny is Jewish and defiant of Billy) isn't worth much to him.
- Although this mission presumably takes place before The Lost and Damned mission This Shit's Cursed (when Billy is imprisoned), that mission has to be played before Roman's Holiday, which ties in with Grand Theft Auto IV mission Hostile Negotiation. Three Leaf Clover, which marks the beginning of Luis's story (in I Luv LC), can only be played after Hostile Negotiation. This proves a continuity error has been made by Rockstar Games.

Lamb and Guinness Shepherd's Pie
Cooking in Red Socks
Recipe type:
Beef Entrees
Prep time:
35 mins
Cook time:
25 mins
Total time:
1 hour
4 large servings
3 large russet potatoes
1 tbs butter
⅓ - ½ cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
thyme leaves for garnish
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, small dice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs fresh rosemary, minced
1 tbs fresh thyme, minced
3 large carrots, peeled and small dice
1 lb lamb shoulder, cut into small pieces
salt and pepper
2 tbs tomato paste
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs flour
1 Guinness beer
⅔ cup frozen corn
⅔ cup frozen peas
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Begin with the potatoes. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large, even sized pieces. Put them in a large pot and cover with cool water by an inch or so. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher and add the butter and milk. Continue to mash until they are creamy and to the texture of your liking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Start the filling by heating a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, carrots, garlic, rosemary and thyme.. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the onions star to caramelize.
Season the lamb well with salt and pepper. Add the lamb to the pot and brown on all sides, for roughly 4-5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire, and flour to the pan and stir well to evenly distribute. Cook another 3 minutes. Add the Guinness and stir with a whisk to combine. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Add the corn and peas (still frozen) to mix and gently stir just to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Spray each of the four ramekins (or a 9 x 9 baking dish) with cooking spray. Evenly distribute the filling among for four ramekins. Top with mashed potatoes, using a spoon to give them a rustic, wavy look in the bowls.
Bake the shepherd's pies for 20 minutes on the middle rack in your oven. After the 20 minutes, turn the oven onto the LOW broil setting. Bake another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are a nice golden brown with some crispy edges. Top with fresh thyme to serve.

Biologics Can Stop Working And Trigger Relapse
Scientists are examining a more confounding question about patients with RA who are in remission and then relapse: Why does it occur in people who are still taking medications? "That can happen within months or even many years after a patient has been started on a drug," says Dr. Hardin, who is also a professor of medicine in the division of rheumatology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in the Bronx, New York.
The problem, explains Dr. Hardin, appears to be that some people with RA eventually become resistant to the very biologic medications that allowed them to attain remission. This phenomenon occurs when the body develops antibodies that counteract the benefit of the drug. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system, which is your body's defense network. Normally, antibodies protect you from germs and other harmful substances that enter the body. However, scientists now know that some patients with RA eventually start producing antibodies that block the work of biologic drugs. That includes the widely used class of medications known as tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors such as adalimumab (Humira) and infliximab (Remicade). As a biologic drug becomes less effective, a patient in remission will discover that his or her joint symptoms have returned.
Switching RA Medications May Help
Fortunately, an antibody that dampens the benefits of one biologic drug typically doesn't target others, notes Dr. Hardin. "Switching to an alternative TNF inhibitor often provides an effective therapy," he says. Moreover, there's a critical strategy that can help prevent biologic-blocking antibodies from causing problems in the first place. Combining a biologic medication with a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) such as methotrexate or azathioprine—which helps turn down activity in the immune system—significantly reduces the risk of developing blocking antibodies, according to a scientific review published in JAMA Internal Medicine in August 2013. In fact, the package insert for infliximab indicates that the drug should be combined with methotrexate, for this very reason.
Alternating Remission and Relapse
About one-third of patients with RA have alternating periods of remission and relapse no matter what therapy they receive, says Dr. Hardin, although no one knows why this happens. One intriguing, if surprising, theory holds that certain forms of bacteria and other microbes in the human digestive tract may influence the severity of RA. Studies have confirmed that diet and other factors can alter the composition of bacteria in the gut. "A change in that bacterial flora could potentially change activity of the disease in an individual," says Dr. Hardin. However, this theory is in its infancy, he notes, adding that understanding which RA patients in remission are most at risk for relapse, and why, is a critical and active area of investigation.
See Your Doctor if You Relapse
If you are in remission and joint pain and stiffness start to flare, tell your doctor soon. "Flares are important," says Dr. Fields. "They may be telling you that a drug that was initially working is losing its effectiveness." Seeing your doctor promptly allows him or her to adjust your treatment plan, which can prevent serious damage to your joints and help you feel better.

Tips For Extending Laptop Battery Life0
by Uwe Hermann
Tips For Extending Laptop Battery Life
One of the most discussed aspects of owning a laptop and mobile computing, is how to get more operating time from the laptop battery. Everyone needs more time from the battery when they are traveling, or not able to have the laptop plugged into the AC outlet. It seems we always need more time then we get from the battery, and it never fails that we are near the end of a critical task when the screen goes dim.
The first consideration when buying a new laptop, refurbished laptop, or a new replacement battery is to study the manual and the recommendation that the manufacturer has for initially charging and discharging the battery. The conditioning of the battery is important to its ultimate life and also allows the laptop to calibrate its charging status indicators with the battery. The process will vary depending on the battery technology and it is important that it be followed. The following are tips to follow to get more life and operating time from your battery.
Reduce LCD Display Brightness
Operate the display at the lowest brightness level that is comfortable for your eyes. The brightness of the LCD screen is one of the main components consuming significant power from the battery. Most laptop and software combination's have control over the display brightness, and this will have more effect on battery time than any other factor. When operating from the AC brightness can be set at any level you want.
Minimize Optical Drive Use
An optical disk drive spinning with a CD or DVD inside consumes power even if you are not using the drive for programs. When not using the drive remove the media and you will save power.
Turn Off Optional Devices
Using WI FI is a drain on the battery. If you are not using WI FI turn it off and there will be less power consumption since WI FI circuitry even in seek mode consumes power. Remove any unused USB devices. The USB memory stick inserted but not being used is consuming a small amount of power, but when combined with other unused devices increases power consumption.
Select Conservative Power Options
Go to the power options section of your software control panel and select the most conservative or power reducing option available. Select the "Hibernate" option rather than "standby" since hibernate actually shuts the laptop down and saves operating settings.
Increase the Amount of RAM
Increasing the amount of system RAM will reduce the number of hard drive accesses because more of the information is stored in memory instead of the hard drive. The reduction in disk activity decreases the power consumed. In addition to the power savings, increasing RAM is the single most significant step other than a CPU upgrade, that you can take to improve speed and performance of your laptop.
Take Care of the Battery
If you take care of the battery it will provide longer more reliable service. Remove the battery periodically and using a pencil eraser clean the contacts, and using a cloth or cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol clean the battery contacts. Don't leave the battery in the direct sunlight or store it where it will be subject to high temperatures. Heat is the enemy of electronic components, and that includes your laptop battery. Depending on the type of battery your laptop uses you should charge and discharge the battery every two weeks. Check the operating manual to be sure of this procedure. You should not completely discharge a LI-ION technology battery since it doesn't have the same "memory" effect as non LI-ION type batteries. Most new laptops use LI-ION batteries but check your manual to be sure of the correct care of the battery after periods of non use.
Following the simple steps outlined will go a long way towards getting more operating time from your laptop battery without hampering your laptop use. More tips on laptop computer operation can be found at Finest Laptops.

Extending Your Laptop Battery Life to Save money,save time
Do you're love moving? if you like it, your laptop battery will have to depend on the power. To make sure that your laptop battery life will extend for some years, you have to take good care of it.
Whenever you use different programs for your laptop, you'll also be using up a lot of RAM, which ultimately needs a lot more power to work faster, thus producing more heat, and thus having to use up more power to counter that heat. Don't get caught up in the never-ending cycle.
The best way in extending your laptop battery life is to make sure that your laptop doesn't overheat. Don't put use your laptop on a cushion or pillow as this will stop the airflow that keeps your laptop cool. Instead, use a wooden or glass table, which cools part of the air completely. For extra insurance, you can put a book underneath your laptop to make sure that the fan will work and that the air can effectively cool down the area.
Putting your laptop into hibernate mode may be a slower boot than simply putting it on standby, but this will also save your battery. Putting your computer on hibernate mode saves your desktop on the last time you use it, but it also shuts down your computer so your battery won't take up much power.
Extending your laptop battery life requires that you take good care of your batteries so it won't get worn off quickly. Make sure that you drain your batteries once a month, and use it at least once a week until it drains.
If you have another laptop battery, keep it charged but store it for only one or two days before using it as the other one charges. Don't keep your laptop plugged and charging when the battery is already full. Doing all these will not only be extending your laptop battery life, but will also make sure that you won't be spending us much trying to get your computer fixed, or buying new laptop batteries
What to Know Before Buying a dell laptop battery?
There are many replacement laptop battery manufacturers, and even more retailers to buy your laptop battery from. However, your biggest concern in purchasing a laptop battery will be to choose the battery that fits your computer. For this you will need to know the make and model number of your laptop; if you don't know this offhand or don't have the necessary paperwork, check the inside of your laptop's battery compartment while the computer is off and unplugged. There you should find the model number, along with some other information. You may also find the part number of your laptop battery, located on the casing of the battery itself.
How to Choose a dell replacement laptop battery?
When buying a replacement laptop battery, you will probably only have one or two choices that fit your computer. Choose the battery with the longest life available for your computer. There are several different kinds of laptop batteries; because the technologies of each are very different, a laptop must be designed specifically for the type of battery it uses. Most laptops are only designed to use one type of battery technology.

We went to visit our friends in Vietnam in 2007 with a 4 yo and a 6 yo so its a bit of a diary type format, and took 10 months to get to this point, and its part 1!!!
I studied at the CSA Canberra School of Art (ANU) majoring in Textiles, I graduated from there in 1997, with first class honours. Then I went on to have a family, and put my art on the back seat so to speak. Over the next years, I have co ordinated several collaborative art projects. I have enjoyed putting my artistic talent towards creating books, I think I have an eye for detail. :)

UMass Pushes The Pace, Upsets No. 19/20 New Mexico, 81-65
Nov. 22, 2013
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Massachusetts used a 16-0 run late in the second half to upset No. 19/20 New Mexico, 81-65, in the semifinals of the Charleston Classic presented by Gildan at TD Arena Friday.
UMass (5-0) pushed the tempo and pressed for the majority of the game, in an attempt to expose the tired legs of the Lobos after their double-overtime game a day earlier, and it paid off as UNM was held without a field goal over the final 7:51 and committed a season-high 13 turnovers.
With the Lobos leading 27-22 and just under eight minutes remaining in the first half, the Minutemen rattled off 14-consecutive points over a 3:55 stretch. UMass never trailed again but did see UNM tie it before the big run to close the game.
Raphiael Putney led the five UMass starters in double figures with 20 points, including 14 on 6-of-9 shooting in the second half. Chaz Williams added 19 and five assists as both players went 3-for-6 from outside. The seven 3-pointers were a season-high for the Minutemen.
Cady Lalanne had his third double-double of the year with 12 points and 14 rebounds, including 10 on the offensive end that directly led to 10 of UMass' 19 second-chance points.
UNM (3-1) got a career-high 32 points from center Alex Kirk as he was 11-of-26 with a career-best four 3-pointers. Kendall Williams was held to 13 points and Cameron Bairstow, who was averaging 23 points this season, was held to eight.
UMass has now scored at least 80 points in all five games and been the first team to defeat its last four opponents.
UMass will face the Clemson in Sunday's championship game at 9 p.m. The contest will be televised on ESPN2.

After listening to Peter Lavelle (Russia Today) defend Putin and the Russians this morning in a heated exchange with Chris Cuomo on CNN, now more facts pour in that link Russians directly with the separatists and their military capacity. Separatists who are ethnic Russian terrorists have shot down two Ukraine fighter planes.
The battle space between Russia, ethnic Russian separatist controlled Ukraine and the rest of the sovereign state of Ukraine is as close as between Israel and Gaza. These are tight quarters.
The Ukraine government has maintained incredible restraint to prevent civilian casualties, but if the separatists persist as they surely intend, the civil war could erupt into devastating combat. It is easy to imagine how the Russians could become directly engaged. That could result in a broader regional conflict.
To prevent that from happening, the free world must exploit the Malaysian airliner disaster to bring about severe economic consequences to Russia immediately. The timidity of the European Union in that regard is astounding.
Timidity comes from the EU being too dependent on foreign oil. The EU needs a renewable energy solution to achieve as sustainable economy that is independent from the Middle East and Russia.
As it is, Russian has the free world over a barrel and as Senator John McCain correctly observes, the Russians are getting away with murder. They have invaded, conquered Crimea, and continue their proxy assault against the Ukraine. NATO needs to step up.
Putin has already threatened that Russia will react to the NATO build up. Remember the old saying, "We will bury you"? A NATO build-up would force Russian to spend more on defense as its economy is collapsing under sanctions (if the EU gets serious).
The only thing that gets a rogue nation's attention is powerful and meaningful confrontation. Bring out the war hawks.
"'We will react to NATO build-up!' Key Putin quotes from defense policy address
Published time: July 22, 2014 22:55
Moscow will respond to NATO's expansion towards Russia's borders, President Vladimir Putin said at the emergency Security Council meeting in Moscow. Here are his key quotes on Russia's defense, Western sanctions, and violence in eastern Ukraine."
"Some 14 Grad systems today have crossed the state border. We have documented this and passed the information on to Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council," Lysenko said.
A U.S. senior intelligence official confirmed that pro-Russian separatists are getting air defense training at a Russian training facility in Rostov, near the Ukraine border, though the official cautioned that it is still not clear who had their finger on the trigger when MH-17 was downed. Significantly, since the shoot down, the senior intelligence official said the Russians have continued to aid the pro-Russian rebels by sending tanks and rocket launchers. The official said the Russians have been deliberately providing equipment to the rebels which is also used by the Ukrainians for plausible deniability.
Lysenko added that Ukrainian servicemen had taken control of several cities occupied by separatists in eastern Ukraine and seized vehicles, ammunition and small weapons. Lysenko said the arsenal has not only Russian markings, but also the relevant documentation.
"You can see the Russian tank T-64 BV, which is not in the records of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Servicemen seized it during the terrorists' assault on a Ukrainian military unit in Artemivsk," he said. "Now you see an APC-80, which is also a Russian-made vehicle. These are the accompanying operational documents. There is an official seal of the Russian Federation and a note explaining that this APC was put in commission and it that was received to be used in combat operations."
Moscow, meanwhile, denied supplying military equipment to Russian fighters, who have clashed with Kiev following the Russia's annexation of Crimea in March."

I have 2 handguns-
Smith & Wesson 686 .357 with 6" ported barrel
HK P2K .40 with 12 round mag (this is my carry gun)
I keep both in a gunvault next to my bed. In case of a bg which you grab? The .357 has more stopping power but it has 1/2 the rounds....

|Washington at Portland
May 14 | Joe Etzel Field | UP Baseball
THIS WEEK: The Huskies head into the final two weeks of the season four road games in the Northwest. Tuesday, the Dawgs travel south down Interstate 5 for a 3:00 p.m. game at Portland.
The Huskies will give junior righty Dae Yang Kim his first start vs. the Pilots while UP will counter with righthander Jackson Lockwood.
This weekend, the Huskies head to the Tri-Cities for a three-game, Pac-12 series vs. Washington State. The series will be played at GESA Stadium, home to the Northwest League's Tri-City Dust Devils, in Pasco, Wash.
Fans can follow live stats of and watch live video (both provided by the Pilots) via the links on this page.
HISTORY WITH THE PILOTS: Until SeattleU resurrected its program, Portland was the UW's closest Division I, non-conference opponent. And of course, the Pilots were members of the Pac-10 Northern Division through the 1994 season, so the two teams have a lot of history. The Huskies lead the all-time series 94-47-1. Earlier this year in Seattle, in a game that had already been pushed back a week due to weather, the Pilots beat the Huskies, 6-4, in a game shortened to six innings due to rain. Last season, the Huskies won two out of three, losing in Seattle in the first meeting before winning at Portland again back in Seattle.
NEXT UP: As noted, the Huskies travel to Pasco this weekend for a three-game series vs. Washington State. The UW then closes out the regular season with a home series vs. Arizona State May 24-26.
HUSKY BALLPARK CONSTRUCTION: Immediately following the conclusion of the 2013 UW baseball season, construction is scheduled to begin on the new grandstand at Husky Ballpark, which will be completed in time for the 2014 season. The new stadium will include seating for 2,200, a new team performance center, new scoreboard and field turn, new press box and a full compliment of public restrooms and concessions. For more on the new facility, check out huskyballpark.com.
HOME GAMES ON VIDEO: Washington fans can watch live video broadcast of all Husky HOME games this season (other than those games that will air on Pac-12 Networks television). There is no cost for this service and you can find the links via the UW baseball schedule page, or on future game and series previews like this one.
GAME PREVIEWS: GoHuskies.com has done away with the old, traditional "weekly notes" for many sports this academic year, so for the coming baseball season, this will be the manner in which each week's games will be previewed. The hope is that, with all of the links provided (particularly to the team's roster and bios, which will be regularly updated throughout the season, including updated career statistics), that fans will have much more information at their fingertips via this page than they ever had via old-style notes. If you have any thoughts on other links or information that might be included, please click on the "feedback" link at the very bottom of this page and let us know.

mediterranean eggplant and barley salad
You know, I've never been one to malign vegetables or healthy food, but I think that's exactly what's happened here. I don't dive into posts about them the way I do with cakes, frosted, sprinkled, rolled, yeasted, basted, braised and pressed things; the more everyday stuff always ends up backlogged, and then accidentally forgotten. And it's a shame, because if I had more of this Mediterranean Eggplant and Barley Salad right now, I'd eat it for lunch and then dinner again.
Cubes of eggplant and zucchini are roasted until nicely caramelized, all the while pearled barley is absorbing spicy broth, and then two are tossed together with red onion, Kalamata olives, fresh mint, parsley, cherry tomatoes and mixed with a lemon vinaigrette. Hearty, healthy and so much more complex in flavor than one comes to expect from whole grain salads, I am pretty sure we'll be coming back to this all summer. I have done you a disservice by not mentioning this for two weeks, as you could have have already eaten it twice! Maybe even four times! Tsk-tsk. I assure you, a lesson has been learned.
The next two recipes are Hot Off Teh Blogs, which means I got them from someone who probably doesn't take months to get around to sharing their finds with other like-minded cooks. Hashed Brussels Sprouts With Poppy Seeds from the Union Square Cafe Cookbook via Molly as well Luisa. Though pan-browning is our usual favorite way to eat these little nutters, that took about 10 minutes beginning to end should not be overlooked. Slices of brussels are sliced and sautéed like the cabbage they are with lemon juice, olive oil, a garlic clove, poppy seeds and then briefly simmered in white wine or vermouth. I'm a sucker for anything speckled, and coupled with their bright lime-green tinge, this dish is a perfect late-winter reminder of the brighter days ahead.
I'm not sure why I never mentioned making Heidi at 101 Cookbook's Roasted Cauliflower Popcorn–did I just not like my photo? (Wouldn't be the first time.) I liked the dish, however, um, which is really what this is about. Growing up, we always had cauliflower with bread crumbs, but this is perked up with a hot pepper and two cloves of garlic. Still, it stays on this of mouth searing side of spicy, due to those fresh bread crumbs and the caramelized edges of the cauliflower.
By the end of the winter, when you're about as sick of the readily-available produce as one can get, there's no time like the present to find a way to innovate, and both this cauliflower and those brussels did the trick. As always, thanks be to Molly, Luisa and Heidi for the freshest of fresh ideas.
Mediterranean Eggplant and Barley Salad
Gourmet, September 2006
Makes 4 (main course) or 8 (side dish) servings
1 1/2 lb eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 lb zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
10 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chopped scallion (from 1 bunch)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (note: I used 1/8 tsp. and it was plenty spicy; adjust to taste)
1 1/4 cups pearl barley (8 oz)
1 (14-oz) can reduced-sodium vegetable or chicken broth (1 3/4 cups)
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 lb cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/3 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, rinsed and drained if desired
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
Accompaniment: 1 (1/2-lb) piece ricotta salata, cut crosswise into thin slices
Roast eggplant and zucchini: Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
Toss eggplant and zucchini with 5 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then spread in 2 oiled large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans. Roast vegetables in oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through baking, until vegetables are golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes total. Combine vegetables in 1 pan and cool, reserving other pan for cooling barley.
Cook barley: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook scallion, cumin, coriander, and cayenne, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add barley and cook, stirring until well coated with oil, 2 minutes more. Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until all of liquid is absorbed and barley is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer to reserved shallow baking pan and spread to quickly cool, uncovered, to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Make dressing and assemble salad: Whisk together lemon juice, garlic, sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Add barley, roasted vegetables, and remaining ingredients to bowl with dressing and toss until combined well. Serve with cheese slices.
Do ahead: Salad can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Return to room temperature before serving.

While at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans Thursday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity that illegal immigrants receive more benefits and better health care than veterans who go to the VA, the UPI reported.
Palin slammed President Obama for his weak leadership and handling of military policy, the UPI added.
"How can we let them down and by the way, what does it say if we let our veterans down, we can't get a website up and running in four years and now $700 million, what does that mean for everybody else's health care down the road?" Hannity asked. "Somebody I know mentioned death panels. Is the VA a death panel for many?"
"That's a great point," Palin said in response. She went on to say that government-run healthcare is inefficient and takes choices away from patients.
"And isn't it ironic that those who are willing to sacrifice all to put their life on the line to allow the freedom of choices in health care and economic everything else, soldiers, airmen, Marines -- they are getting screwed by the VA and our commander-in-chief is in charge of this, ultimately," she added.
Hannity then said there is one doctor for every 1.5 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, while there are 35 veterans for every doctor in the VA system.
"There is something wrong with that," he added.
"Well, in many respects, illegal aliens in our country today are receiving better health care, more benefits than some of our troops," Palin added.
She also shredded Obama, telling Hannity the president doesn't fully understand the military's mission.
"I think there's a lack of understanding on our commander-in-chief's part about what the mission of the military is, and why it is that we owe a debt of gratitude that's manifested in benefits paid to those who've already earned them," she said.
She excoriated Obama's recent speech to graduating cadets at West Point, and said that while America isn't weak, the president's policies and attitude has made the country unreliable.
"It's not that we are weak as a country, but we are so unreliable now, under Obama," she told Hannity. "My concern is the effect that his doctrine, his policies, his attitude, has on those who are volunteering to serve this country -- to those whom we owe a debt of gratitude."
A report released Wednesday by the VA's Office of Inspector General says that veterans throughout the system are seeing delays in health care in what appears to be an effort to focus more on performance standards than providing quality care. Investigators found, for example, that some 1,138 veterans in Phoenix alone waited longer than six months just to get an appointment to see their primary doctors.
"These veterans were and continue to be at risk of being forgotten or lost in the (Phoenix hospital's) convoluted scheduling process. As a result, these veterans may never obtain a requested or required clinical appointment," the IG report said.
"The Inspector General's Office said it is working with the Justice Department to determine if crimes occurred in how patients were handled," USA Today added.
The full interview can be seen here.

If you're simply trying your hand at search engine optimization and buy into the mantra that "the best kind of traffic is free traffic", your marketing strategy is well and truly one-dimensional. Similarly, if PPC is your thing, you might face the same accusations.
If you're combining SEO with PPC your marketing efforts are better than most BUT the harsh reality is that they are at best two-dimensional.
To deliver truly three dimensional marketing time after time, you need the most sophisticated, intelligent and easiest advertising technique on the planet that doesn't rely on Google. That's what's at stake here and you maybe need the full story to understand its full importance… It's time to join the work smart elite.
Are You Still Using These Old Traffic Getting Secrets?
- Writing articles
- Posting to free classifieds
- Using Social Media
- Using Safelists
- Trying to get a top-10 search engine rank
And that's to name just a few. Chances are you're sick and tired of SEO. Search engine optimization is time consuming and labour intensive. Too often it ends up occupying much of your thoughts and doesn't let you focus on honing your core product offerings. Sure you can outsource your SEO efforts but how can you ensure that your site and business doesn't engage in black hat techniques that could get you banned from Google? The fear is always there.
More to the point, do you really appreciate the metrics of SEO? Achieving the "holy grail" of a number 1 ranking is not all it's cracked up to be. The truth of the matter is that your traffic is always limited by the number of searches taking place for that phrase. The best (and when I say best I mean the very best) SEO guys can usually only deliver in the region of 2,000 visitors a day. It's good traffic but you won't make the really big dollars.
Paid traffic is a completely different ballgame offering you a limitless supply of traffic. But you shouldn't make the mistake made by so many marketers of limiting their paid search efforts to PPC. You don't have to play the paid search game on Google's unfavourable terms. Limitless traffic is available at a reasonable price and the rewards to be reaped are massive.
For the best paid search practitioners in the business, realistic traffic targets are in the region of a million visitors per hour. That's more traffic than you can fathom. But imagine if you could apply the same principles that the best search professionals use to give your company or website realistic and quite conservative traffic estimates of 10,000 visitors per day or week.
Some huge benefits of today's paid-traffic sources are:
- Low start up costs of just a few hundred dollars.
- A huge and growing pool of reliable advertising sources.
- Fewer restrictions on ads, landing-pages, and content.
- Re-target customers who click on ads or visit your site, resulting in higherconversions.
- Track all ads and calculate ROIs down to the penny.
- Track all ads and calculate ROIs down to the penny.
- Scale up profitably until your only limitation is ROI and your bandwidth (you may need to get your own server or sign up for high-volume Web hosting).
- Move towards a performance basis, where you pay absolutely nothing for ads until after sales are made.
And there's plenty more… But how do you take advantage of all of these benefits?
Introducing Traffic Evolution…
Your Crash Course In Paid Search That Systematically Teaches You How To Implement The Single Most Effective Marketing Strategy For Limitless Amounts Of High Quality Traffic.
Alongside unlocking the ultimate sources of paid traffic you'll also learn how to:
- Use targeted banner and display ads to generate hyper-responsive traffic for30% – 75% less than Google PPC ads.
- Target specific competitors and niches with dirt-cheap (but responsive) CPV traffic that's less than two-cents a click!
- Buy "mass traffic" that's not only legitimate, but actually converts into opt-ins and sales.
- Tap into the world of real million-dollar online marketing, and break free from the amateur-hour antics of the hobbyists and "D-Level" discussion board posters who constantly pitch their "free-traffic" nonsense.
- Analyze each ad cost down to the penny with free and low-cost tracking tools that are easy to implement.
- Scale up, and use our exclusive ad rollout formula to start small and grow your sales, and your profits, at the same time.
- And much, much more
And the best part? You can buy Traffic Evolution for an absurdly low price of $197, a cost you'll recuperate in a split second once you start your truly three dimensional supercharged marketing campaign.

When a brash new inmate arrives, the rigid program of the ward is thrown up for grabs.

Tragic news for classic television fans in Fresno today as actor Russell Johnson, best known for his role as Professor Roy Hinkley on Gilligan's Island, passed away today at the age of 89.
As reported by various news sources such as TMZ, Johnson died of kidney failure at his home in Bainbridge Island, Washington, at 5:21 AM on January 16, 2014. This leaves actresses Tina Louise (who played Ginger Grant) and Dawn Wells (who played Mary Ann Summers) as the only surviving members of the original Gilligan's Island cast.
Wells posted on her Facebook page, "My 2 favorite people are now gone. The professor past (sic) away this morning. My heart is broken." The other person she refers to who died is Bob Denver, who played the title role of Gilligan, who died in 2005.
Johnson was on the show from 1964 to 1967. Incidentally, despite being a major character, Johnson was not featured in the original opening of the show, with the characters of the Professor and Mary Ann merely referred to as "The rest," but Denver insisted that they both be included and that happened later.
As outlined by his Wikipedia page, Johnson lived quite an eventful life even before he ever pursued a career in Hollywood. Hewas born in Ashley in Luzerne County in Northeastern Pennsylvania, just south of Wilkes-Barre, and was a graduate of Girard College, a private boarding school for orphaned children in Philadelphia. After high school, he joined the United States Army Air Forces during World War II as an aviation cadet and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He flew 44 combat missions as a bombardier in B-25 bombers. While flying as a navigator in a B-25 with the 100th Bombardment Squadron, 42nd Bombardment Group, 13th Air Force, his plane and two other B-25s were shot down in the Philippines in March 1945 during a low level bombing and strafing run against Japanese targets. The planes were hit by intense flak and had to ditch in the waters off the port of Zamboanga. During the ditching, he broke both his ankles and the radioman next to him was killed. Johnson earned a Purple Heart for this mission. He was also awarded the Air Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with three service stars, the Philippine Liberation Ribbon with one service star, and the World War II Victory Medal. He was honorably discharged with the rank of first lieutenant on November 22, 1945. He then joined the Army Reserve and used the GI Bill to fund his acting studies at the Actors Lab in Hollywood. At acting school he met actress Kay Levey, and they married on July 23, 1949.
He became a close friend of Audie Murphy and later appeared with him in three of his films, Column South and Tumbleweed in 1953 and Ride Clear of Diablo in 1954. But Johnson's Hollywood career officially began in 1952, with the college fraternity hazing exposé For Men Only, and with Loan Shark, released that same year and starring George Raft. His early roles were mainly in westerns such as Law and Order (opposite Ronald Reagan), and science fiction such as It Came from Outer Space (1953).
During the fifties, he guest starred on Rod Cameron's syndicated crime drama, City Detective, also he also played the head of a gang of crooks in the seventeenth episode of the first season of The Adventures of Superman. He was cast on the religion anthology series, Crossroads, played "The Sundown Kid" in an episode of the 1958 NBC western series Jefferson Drum, and guest starred in yet another NBC western series, The Californians.
Late in 1958, both Johnson and Joe Flynn were cast in the episode "The Bells of Fear" of the syndicated adventure series Rescue 8, starring Jim Davis and Lang Jeffries. He was cast in the role of Darius in the 1959 episode, "The Unwilling", of the NBC western series, Riverboat, starring Darren McGavin and Burt Reynolds. He appeared three times on the syndicated military drama The Silent Service, based on actual stories of the submarine section of the United States Navy. He was cast as Hugh Grafton and as Tom Richards in two 1960 episodes, "Intermission" and "The Desperate Challenge", both with June Allyson on her CBS anthology series, The DuPont Show with June Allyson. He was then cast as John T. Metcalf in the 1962 episode "Mile-Long Shot to Kill" of CBS's anthology series, GE True, hosted by Jack Webb. In 1963, he was cast in an episode of the short-lived ABC/Warner Brothers western series, The Dakota, and later in that same year, he was cast in the series premiere of the ABC medical drama Breaking Point starring Paul Richards and Eduard Franz.
From 1959 to 1960, Johnson landed a recurring role as Marshal Gib Scott on the ABC half-hour western series, Black Saddle, with Peter Breck as the gunslinger-turned-lawyer Clay Culhane, Anna-Lisa as Nora Travers, J. Pat O'Malley as Judge Caleb Marsh, and Walter Burke as Tim Potter. Both is addition to his numerous classic western appearances, classic science fiction fans will recognize Johnson for appearing in two episodes in The Twilight Zone. He attempted to prevent the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in "Back There," and he appeared again as a college professor in the episode, "Execution." Incidentally, the plot of both episodes involved time travel from the 20th to the 19th centuries. He also appeared in an episode of The Outer Limits called "Specimen: Unknown," where he played a a crew member with the rank of major, on a U.S. space station.
But for all of the other roles Johnson has played in his career, it is his performance as "The Professor" on Gilligan's Island for which he is best known. His character was a highly knowledgeable polymath able to build all sorts of inventions out of the most rudimentary materials available to him on the island, and yet, as Johnson himself pointed out, he still could not fix the hole in the Skipper's boat. Gilligan's Island aired from 1964 to 1967, but has been shown in reruns continuously ever since. Johnson got the role despite refusing to take off his shirt for the audition, however, before accepting the role he did make producer Sherwood Schwartz promise that any scientific statements written for his character be accurate.
After the show ended, Johnson appeared in several other movies and television shows, including The Invaders, Death Valley Days, Lassie, Ironside, The F.B.I, and Gunsmoke. Perhaps his most notable post-Gilligan appearances were in the miniseries Vanished, based on a novel by Fletcher Knebel (1971), an uncredited role in the Robert Redford spy thriller Three Days of the Condor (1975), and on the NBC soap opera Santa Barbara. He also played the sheriff in several episodes of the ninth season of Dallas; known to fan as the infamous "dream season," hence why his character never returned for season ten.
He even entertained fans at the 1996 MST3K ContevtioConExpoFest-a-Rama 2: Electric Boogaloo on the "Celebrity Panel". Johnson was invited for his role in the movie-within-a-movie of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, This Island Earth, but ended up spending most of the time answering questions about his time on Gilligan's Island.
Johnson is his third wife, Constance Dane, and his daughter, Kim Johnson. His son, David, ran the AIDS program for Los Angeles, California, until David's death from complications of AIDS in 1994. Since his son's diagnosis, Johnson had been a full-time volunteer for AIDS research fundraising.
Russell Johnson will be missed by friends and family all over the world. This examiner extends his condolences to his loved ones.
