All Rise...
In town you're the law, out here it's Judge Paul Corupe. Don't push it. Don't push it or he'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go.
The Charge
Anywhere and everywhere the S.A.V.A.G.E. forces of General Warhawk threaten the peace loving people of the world, there's only one man to call…
The Case
When violent Vietnam vet John Rambo first made his debut in the 1982 film First Blood, few could have predicted he'd round out his career with a tour of duty on a weekday afternoon cartoon show. An outcast survivalist who used heavy artillery to blow away his army pursuers in bloody revenge for his personal military nightmares, Rambo probably shot up more people on screen than the average 10-year-old has met, but animation studio Ruby Spears still wasted no time in cashing in on his name with Rambo, a 1986 syndicated action-adventure show based on the violent character.
In Lionsgate's fourth DVD of the series, Rambo, Vol. 4: Up in Arms, it's obvious just how much the show was inspired by the success of the G.I. Joe animated show and accompanying toy empire. Forget about plots and characters—the entire purpose of the show was to turn this shirtless, rocket launcher-toting symbol of American might into a four-inch plastic doll. In an effort to fill out Rambo's world with additional action figures, he was recast by Ruby Spears as the leader of The Force of Freedom, a peacekeeping unit under the command of Colonel Trautman. With his liberty-loving, multicultural cohorts Turbo Johnson, a mechanic and weapons specialist, master of disguise K.A.T., ex-footballer T.D. Jones, and ninja White Dragon, Rambo battles the evil General Warhawk and his S.A.V.A.G.E. organization, including Gripper, Sgt. Havoc, biker Mad Dog, and a terrorist named Nomad.
As part of their ongoing DVD series, Lionsgate's Rambo Vol. 4: Up in Arms presents another 11 episodes of the questionably appropriate show:
• Alpha, Arms & Ambush Part 1
• Alpha, Arms & Ambush Part 2
• The Doomsday Machine
• Exercise in Terror
• Horror in the Highlands
• Deadly Keep
• Terror beneath the Sea
• Turbo's Dilemma
• Crash
• Vote of Terror
• The Angel of Destruction
As in the G.I. Joe cartoon, gratuitous gunfire, explosions, and weaponry definitely defined this series, but here Rambo is a peacenik sissy compared to his take-no-prisoners on screen persona—the animated star of this show would rather attend peace conferences and talk tenderly to deer than ram grenades down the throats of his oppressors. Even when the big guy gets his war on, the only casualties are jeeps, walls, and the occasional guard tower—never any living, breathing friend or foe. It's not entirely surprising that death and disaster is downplayed in a kid's show, but it also removes all possibilities for suspense—we know that Warhawk will do something bad, Rambo will arrive and some vehicles will blow up, and the bad guys will miraculously get away after being soundly defeated.
More importantly, though, Rambo was focused strongly on introducing possible toys for the simultaneously released "Rambo and The Force of Freedom" action figure line. No matter if the plot calls for them or not, the show is insistent about displaying a parade of impractical vehicles like motorcycles armed with missiles, ATVs armed with missiles, flying platforms armed with missiles, and helmets armed with missiles. In one episode, Rambo even flies around in a detachable tank turret equipped with wings (and, not surprisingly, missiles). It's creepy marketing synergy at its most overt. The fat cats in the highly lucrative plastic missile industry must have been beside themselves with glee.
The choppy animation style is pretty typical for a 1980s weekday cartoon, with simplistic but generally well-rendered drawings. Action is handled relatively well, and cash-saving shortcuts are kept to a minimum—except for a recurring sequence of Rambo suiting up into his bare-chested, red-headbanded "No More Mr. Nice Guy" mode. In a nice nod to the films, they've even given our guerilla hero a Stallone-like Brooklyn twang in his voice.
Instead of releasing all 65 installments of Rambo as a box set, Lionsgate has instead given us multiple volumes of the show with out-of-sequence episodes, surely not the presentation that fans were hoping for. At least the shows look okay, with only minor dirt, scratches, and other source artifacts. Much like the picture quality, the sound is unremarkable but reliable. As a mono TV soundtrack from the 1980s, there are no dynamics to speak of and the music and dialogue occasionally seem a little flat, but Lionsgate has at least presented them clearly, with minimal distortion. Those that have the other Rambo DVDs will find this release much on par with those releases. There are no extras included on the disc, but with 11 episodes, there isn't much room for anything else.
"For ages 5 and up" says the back of this DVD, but I heartily disagree. Though the film pays lip service to peace and understanding, it still distastefully glorifies warfare, and through its accompanying toys, undeniably encourages kids to wage their own major battles. Better to skip this release and buy the kids something constructive like Lego instead.

BASICS; Save Your Own Life: Backing Up a PC
By SUSAN STELLIN
Published: February 21, 2002
BACKING up a computer ranks somewhere between cleaning the oven and checking the batteries in the smoke detector on most people's long-avoided to-do lists. They are all good ideas but, for some reason, you never follow through on any of them.
For the uninitiated, ''backing up'' is the jargon used to refer to the chore of making copies of all the files and programs on the computer's hard drive. The phrase is most commonly used by technical support representatives after your computer has crashed, as in, ''I hope you backed up your data because I don't know if we can fix this.''
The reasons you should make a point of backing up are numerous and obvious: you might leave your laptop in the overhead compartment the next time you fly, a friend might inadvertently e-mail you a virus that erases your hard drive, or your hard drive might one day simply, inexplicably crash (hard drives do this with frightening frequency).
But the most compelling reason is this: backing up is not that difficult. And for music lovers, it's a good rationalization for buying a CD burner, which can also be used for more entertaining tasks.
What to Back Up, and When
Asking a technophile how often you should back up your computer is like asking a dentist how often you should floss your teeth: ideally, you should do both every day. In reality most people are not that diligent.
If you use your computer for work, managing your finances, writing a novel or otherwise creating files you would seriously miss if they disappeared, it is probably a good idea to back up your computer every week. For the average home user, every month or two may be enough -- and even every six months is better than not at all (like flossing just before visiting the dentist). For additional insurance, you might consider backing up before moving your home computer, taking your laptop on an extended trip or installing a new piece of hardware or software.
What to back up is another subjective question. For some people, the contents of a single folder may be sufficient, especially if you have original disks for all of your software and tend to save your files in one place (for example, the My Documents folder for Windows users). If you don't have all your software disks, you will want to back up your whole computer, at least occasionally. Other files to think about: your e-mail messages and address book, digital photos, your Web browser settings, documents that have been saved to your Attachments folder and anything you have downloaded from the Internet, like music files, games and images.
Try to gauge how much you want to copy before deciding on a backup method to use, since different methods require varying amounts of storage space.
The Tools
The next step is deciding where you want to store your files. For home users, the most common options are Zip, Jaz or Peerless disks, all of which require investing in drives made by Iomega or partner manufacturers, a CD (which requires a CD burner) or a second hard drive.
Two formerly common methods of backing up are less attractive these days. Floppy disks have become more or less obsolete for backups, since each disk can hold only 1.44 megabytes of data compared with hundreds of megabytes for other storage media. The sheer tedium of filling up a pile of floppy disks is what gave backing up a bad name in the first place. And online storage methods that emerged during the Internet boom are a riskier and costlier option now. Companies that once offered free storage services have either gone out of business, changed their business or begun charging storage fees. FreeDrive, which once offered consumers 20 megabytes of free storage, now provides 65 megabytes of storage for $4.95 a month or 150 megabytes for $9.95 a month; @Backup still offers 50 megabytes of storage for about $50 a year. One drawback of backing up online is the time it takes to transfer large files, particularly if you have a slow connection.
Iomega's Zip drives were among the earliest storage mediums to provide an alternative to floppy disks. Zip drives come in both internal and external versions and cost between $75 and $175, depending on the model and port connection type.
Although Zip drives are still widely used for backing up or transferring files, they are somewhat limited because the disks can hold only 100 or 250 megabytes of data and cost about $10 to $15 apiece. One step up from Zip disks are Jaz disks, which can store one or two gigabytes of data. But the extra room comes at a price: about $80 to $90 for a one-gigabyte disk and $110 to $120 for a two-gigabyte disk (though you can get a better price by buying multiple disks). Jaz drives are also more expensive, costing from $275 to $350.
Iomega's Peerless system, introduced last May, is an external drive that costs roughly $250 to $400; the Peerless disks ($150 to $190) don't cost much less than the drive but they can hold 10 or 20 gigabytes of data. This system is more for professionals or for home users with large collections of music files, digital photos or other media.

One of the best lake organizations that deals with some of society's worst problems is getting a new home. It is a glad day for Citizens Against Domestic Violence and for the lake community as a whole.
Domestic violence is an all-too-common occurrence at the lake and across the nation. The lives of women and children are turned inside out by events so horrendous and disruptive that it often takes years for the victims to come to grips with what happened.
Nearly three decades ago, CADV stepped between the victims and the victimizers, offering shelter, comfort and direction for hundreds who would have found it nowhere else. The brave staffers, volunteers and supporters of this important institution have provided at least a little peace for so many in the lake area. Lives are better because of their work and sacrifice.
After years of getting by with an increasingly inadequate facility, CADV will have a new building. While government programs have helped in the process, it is the lake community that has stepped forward to fund this critical project. Lakers have recognized a need and met the challenge head-on. Everyone who has done anything to move CADV into the future deserves hearty thanks from us all.
Now, CADV officials are faced with another challenge: furnishing the new building. They need our help. We can say with certainty that the money you give will be put to good use. This organization has proven over its lifetime that donated dollars equal help given to those who need it most.
There is a direct correlation between the work CADV does and better lives for those who need their help. Lives will be saved and renewed by whatever you can do to assist CADV in their vital work.

I had just saw it not too long ago, it was pretty great, not what I expected after all this hype, but great.

My fiancee and I stayed here for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year in 2006/2007. I've traveled all over the world and this was the best vacation I've ever had.
Why? Because the whole place is geared towards your satisfaction. (I have one or two gripes at the end of this review, just to let you know before I begin enthusing!)
First of all the rooms are great. The beds are comfortable and there is a pillow menu. The rooms are spacious, clean and airy. There was no trace of smoke. The small kitchenette was well-stocked and the little grocery store on-site was adequate for the few meals we had in the room.
The whole look and feel of the resort is fantastic – the grounds are wonderful and impeccably maintained. One morning we were walking early to breakfast, and there was a small stone pillar with a hollow top filled with sand; the staff had drawn a bird in flight in the sand. It's a small thing, but it really showed the pride the resort takes in its appearance.
The pool is superb, but it can be pretty rowdy – a lot of families with kids, who roamed the pool splashing and being noisy. Still, I guess that's what kids do. The water is not chlorinated, which is great because my eyes are allergic – it's cleaned by reverse osmosis apparently.
The restaurant on site, La Cordeliere, served reasonably good food at slightly too-high prices. Not surprising really, it's the only game in town – for other food you have to go off site and take a 10-minute shuttle to town. Some people complain about this, but we loved the solitude and peace of Nuevo Mazatlan. And the shuttle was no big deal, you just have to plan around it.
The deli sandwiches are great value – get one between two though, we couldn't eat a whole one.
The bar is nice and not crowded. There was a very good pianist there a couple of nights; he was playing a wonderful tune one night that I somehow recognized… I finally realized it was a kind of ballad version of a Britney Spears track! Yikes. We laughed at that one for a while.
Timeshare (inevitably) is a big thing for them. We went there with an absolutely-no-chance-in-hell attitude to get our $200 in credit… and ended up buying. There was NO pressure whatsoever; it was relaxed and personal and we ended up becoming really good friends with the two young people who sold us our Presidential Suite. Both of us are pretty astute with cash and would never have bought unless a/ we loved the place, and b/ it made some kind of financial sense. To my great surprise, it really did – we ran the numbers carefully and figured in cost-opportunity and potential stock market performance and it didn't beat the market, but it wasn't a crippling cost either. Now we can't wait to go back for Xmas week this year.
Do go to Mazatlan, and try the seafood anywhere – it's some of the best I've ever had. Don't bother with lobster – they're small and a little tough, get shrimp instead.
One word of caution – we went fishing with the guy who had the contract to walk around the pool persuading people to go out. Although the fishing was great, and I caught a 6 foot striped marlin, don't be tempted to get it stuffed unless you're prepared to pay a LOT of money. I was quoted $800-$900 at the dock; once you figure in shipping and crating and so on it came in at nearly $2,000, which they don't tell you.
To sum up: this is a wonderful location, the resort is superb and we hardly had anything go wrong.
1.The walls are a little too thin. We could hear next room's occupants sneezing.
2.No wireless in the rooms. They have to sort this out. Not good enough!
3.Pool crowded as Xmas came around, and everyone lays their towels out at 7am. Kind of annoying.
4.Movies on demand in the rooms are too expensive.

Dr. Reilly Stanton, eighth Marquis of Stillworth, must mend his injured pride by proving himself a heroand not a drunken wastrel, as his former fiancee claimed. Against all sane advice, the Londoner takes a medical post in a tiny fishing village on the remote Isle of Skyeand is convinced that he can cope with the primitive conditions, horrendous Highland weather, and rampant illness. But Miss Brenna Donnegal is another matter entirely...
Try as he might, Reilly cannot ignore the toweringly tall lady with flaming chesnut locks and an equally fiery will. She has filled her father's former role as the local physician, and is more than annoyed to find the urbane Dr. Stanton taking over her work and her father's cottage. By fair means or foul, she will give the usurper his comeuppance. But what begins as a sparking tug-of-war between two proud hearts soon flames to a passionate fire...

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Chapter 1
*****Lyming, Scotland February 1847******
The ferryman was dead.
There was no doubt about it. The fellow had no pulse. His skin was like ice. His pupils were dilated, his eyes glassy and staring. Reilly Stanton didn't need a medical license to tell him that this man was no longer among the living.
But Reilly wasn't the one who needed convincing. It was the wizened fisherman stooped over beside him who seemed to be suffering from some doubts.
"What's ailing him, then?" the old man asked, his breath turning instantly to steam in the cold winter air.
"Aye." The fisherman's question was echoed by several of his peers, all of whom had come to stare down at the corpse, as well as at Reilly, who'd had the ill judgment to plunge into the frigid water after the drowning man.
"I'm afraid," Reilly said, lifting his dripping head from the dead man's equally sodden chest, "that he's gone."
"Gone?" The eldest of the fishermen blinked down at him. "What do you mean, gone?"
"Well, passed on." Seeing the blank expressions on the faces around him, Reilly tried again. "Expired."
The word expired had always worked well enough on the families of Reilly's patients back in Mayfair. It was clear, however, that delicacy was wasted on these particular fellows, and so Reilly said, enunciating with difficulty through teeth that were beginning to chatter with the cold, "I'm afraid your friend is dead."
"Dead?" The old man exchanged incredulous glances with his companions. "Stuben's dead?"
Reilly rose to his knees no small feat, since his once finebreeches were stiff with frozen saltwater and looked longingly toward the alehouse. At least, it looked like an alehouse. It was the structure nearest the pier where they now stood, and through the fog Reilly could see that there was a sign swinging above the door, and warm and welcoming lights in the windows. An alehouse, a whorehouse, Reilly didn't care what it was, so long as he was soon in it, drying off and warming up before a fire, preferably with a glass of whisky in his hand.
But first, of course, there was the dead ferryman to be seen to.
"But that canna be," the toothless fisherman insisted. "Stuben canna be dead. He's never died before."
"Well, that's the nature of death, isn't it?" Reilly managed a sympathetic smile. "We tend to do it just the once."
"No' Stuben." Around the corpse, shaggy gray heads nodded emphatically. "He's gone under many a time, has Stuben, and he's no' died before now."
"Well." Reilly tried to picture some of his more learned peers Pearson, for instance, with his ubiquitous cigar, or Shelley, with that ridiculous silver-handled cane he didn't need standing on this desolate pier, arguing the semantics of death with this motley group, and failed.
Well, Pearson and Shelley had too much sense to have signed on for such an assignment. Too much sense, and nothing like Reilly's blue-eyed, golden-haired impetus.
He said, "Well, gentlemen, I'm afraid he didn't make it this time. I'm very sorry for your loss. But he was clearly intoxicated "
This was, of course, the grossest of understatements. The ferryman had been so blind drunk Reilly had almost asked if there wasn't some other boat he could hire for the trip across the water. But he'd stopped himself at the last minute. What was the worst, he'd wondered, that could come of a drunk ferryman? That the boat might run aground, or worse, sink?
So he'd drown in the frigid and tumultuous waters off the coast of the Scottish Highlands. So what? It wasn't as if he had anything much to live for, anyway. Christine, back in London, would hear of his drowning and would have to live with the knowledge that Reilly Stanton had died in an effort to win her love...
Of course, when the stupid man had lost his footing and slipped into the sea just as they were docking, Reilly hadn't given a thought to his own safety, much less to what Miss Christine King was going to think. He had plunged without hesitation into the icy water and pulled the old man, dead weight though he'd been, back to shore.
It was only now, standing there soaking wet, shivering like a dog, that it occurred to Reilly he'd missed yet another wonderful opportunity to make Christine sorry for what she'd done. He'd come so close to a romantic death! He could almost hear the ladies back in Mayfair:
"Darling, did you hear? Young Dr. Stanton the eighth Marquis of Stillworth, don't you know died in the wilds of the Hebrides, trying to save another man's life. I can't imagine what that heartless Christine King was thinking, slipping a man like that the mitten. She must have been out of her head. Such a self-sacrificing, noble gentleman...handsome, too, from what I hear. Poor girl is beside herself with grief."
Well, he had certainly botched it. And because the old duffer had up and died on him despite his best efforts, Reilly couldn't even write home and mention, ever so casually, about how he'd managed to save a life his very first day on the job, damn it all.
When was his luck going to change?
"I'm sorry about Mr. Stuben," Reilly said, to the ferryman's friends, "but he was well past feeling anything when he went, if it's any consolation. He was quite intoxicated. Now if you good gentlemen don't mind, I'm quite cold and wet through, and I'd like to get out of this wind "
"That's the thing." Several hoary heads wagged. "Get 'im out of this wind. Someone go for Miss Brenna."
"Already done," a toothless gent assured them. "Sent the boy for 'er, soon as I seed Stuben go under."
"Good lad." The eldest fisherman sighed. "Well, I'll take his head, you take his feet. Ready? Ayuh."
Reilly stood, the bitter wind throwing salt spray all around him, as gnarled hands seized the body of the ferryman and lifted it. Then the solemn-faced processional moved with maddening slowness toward the nearest structure, the one Reilly had been hoping so fervently was an alehouse.
Left alone on the dock, Reilly glanced around. Buffeted by the wind and waves, the ferryboat thudded dully against the side of the pier. His bags and trunk were still aboard it, but as he'd been the only passenger, that was all, save the ferryman's empty bottles, which rolled noisily back and forth across the deck. Other than the dead ferryman's friends and a plethora of vociferous seagulls swooping about overhead, there was no one around. Reilly hadn't exactly reckoned upon anyone meeting him, communication with the mainland being what it was, but he'd thought there might at least be someone to take his bags...
Well, never mind. There'd been a death, after all. He supposed the bags would be safe enough for now. Wrapping his cloak about him though the ice-encrusted material did little to shield his body from the wind he caught up to the dead man and his entourage. They were headed toward the only building he could see through the fog, that building in which there promised, from the lights in the windows, to be a fire if nothing else.
Reilly fell into step beside the fishermen, and when one complained of weariness, he took a turn at holding the dead man's head.
Then another of the old men, clutching his chest, stepped aside, and Reilly found himself holding not only the dead man's head, but his upper torso, as well.
Then a third fisherman bowed out, coughing with alarming, body-wracking spasms. It wasn't long before Reilly had slung the ferryman over his back and was bearing the full of his weight, while Stuben's friends shouted encouragement and approval at him. Thank God, Reilly thought grimly to himself, there was no way this was going to get back to Christine. Romantic as she might have thought his death, there wasn't anything the least romantic about this particular situation.
He staggered toward the alehouse clearly an alehouse, he could see now, though the name of it on the wind-battered sign The Tortured Hare was not very encouraging. But as soon as the door was yanked open, Reilly was bathed in a wave of beer-scented heat, and he was relieved to find that whatever else it might have been, The Tortured Hare was at the very least warm, dry, and still serving.
And full of people. At the announcement of one of his new companions "Stuben's gone in the drink again, and this 'un fished him out" there was a collective murmur of excitement, followed by a flurry of movement as men hurried to lift tankards out of the way of the women who darted forward to place an enormous plank across several benches someone had set near the hearth.
"Put him down here," commanded a large, middle-aged woman in a fairly unsullied apron and cap. "Right there, on the table."
Reilly complied, though "table" was not the word he would have chosen to describe the makeshift structure onto which he lowered the cold, lifeless body. No sooner had the man once known as Stuben met the hard planks, than the woman was hurrying to undo his sodden clothes, barking orders at everyone within earshot as she did so.
"Flora, fetch a bottle of whisky. Blankets from the upstairs cupboard, Maeve. There's a pan of water over the fire in the back kitchen, Nancy. Fetch it, and find some rags. Has anyone gone for Miss Brenna?"
"Sent the boy for 'er," one of the fishermen assured her.
"Good," the woman said.
Miss Brenna, again? Who the devil, Reilly wondered, was this Miss Brenna? A peculiarly ugly name in Reilly's opinion, an opinion shared by his friends Pearson and Shelley, who'd unanimously declared Brenna the most hideous name for a female in the English language, with the possible exception of Megan. It was, they'd decided, almost guaranteed that any woman christened with the name Brenna would be cursed with multiple chins, overly large front teeth, and a distinctly horse-like countenance. And during the course of their admittedly not very scientific investigation into the veracity of their theory, they had yet to be proved wrong.
The ferryman's clothes were peeled off until he lay there, quite naked, under the gaze of everyone who happened to be in The Tortured Hare which included, Reilly saw, the alehouse's staff, all of whom were women and some of whom looked astonishingly young. Even more astonishing, these young ladies did not seem the least bit shocked at the sight of the corpse or its state of undress. Even as it was subjected next to the indignity of being swaddled in hot rags, dropped from a pot of steaming water held in the girl Nancy's hands, none of those hardened Highland lassies gave the cadaver a second glance.
"Um," Reilly felt compelled to say, when his teeth had ceased chattering enough to allow speech, by which time the dead man very nearly had been covered from head to toe in hot cloths.
The woman clearly the proprietress of the place spared him a single glance. Then she snapped, "Maeve, dunna stand there like a ninny. Get the gentleman out of those wet clothes and under a blanket."
Reilly looked with alarm at the very determined young lady coming toward him. He took a hasty step backward and raising both hands exclaimed, "Um, no, no. That's not I mean, I'm fine. Really. I just think someone ought to tell you, madam, that that man there is "
But Reilly, whose only previous visits to Scotland had been for the occasional hunting trip, during which he had had little or no contact with the natives, was ill prepared to defend himself against the single-minded purposefulness of a typical Gaelic maid. In a thrice, Mistress Maeve had hold of his cloak and then his coat, and was wrenching them both from him in a manner that caused him to suspect her well used to undressing reluctant customers...and to what purpose he had only too certain an idea.
Short of resorting to fisticuffs, Reilly saw no way of deterring Maeve from her goal, which seemed to be stripping him as naked as the corpse that lay before them...at least until he found himself standing on the far side of the room, literally backed into a corner, his waistcoat and shirt gone now, as well as his coat and cloak, while a very determined set of fingers worked at the fastenings to his breeches...
"That," Reilly said, seizing the wrists just above those fingers, "will be quite enough, I think."
Maeve blinked up at him, her expression not at all what he'd expected. Instead of looking abashed, the girl's mien was distinctly kittenish.
"She said I was to get ye out of yer wet things," the maid reminded him.
"Yes," Reilly said. "Well, I'd like to keep my trousers just now, if it's all the same to you."
"I don't think ye ought to," Maeve said. "Like to come down with the quinsy, if you do."
"Or the rheumatics," called another female voice.
It was only then that Reilly noticed young Nancy, the girl who'd been dispatched to fetch hot water for the ferryman, had returned, and was watching them both with rapt attention.
"Right," Maeve said, staunchly. "Or the rheumatics. You wouldn't want to be coming down with the rheumatics " Maeve's gaze roved over his naked chest. "Not a fine young man like yerself."
Reilly, perfectly convinced now that he'd stumbled into a den of lunatics, gave Maeve's wrists a tug that brought her to her feet. He then pried her fingers from his waistband, thus preserving what was left of his dignity.
"I will," he said, resolutely steering Maeve away from him, "risk it."
Now clad only in a pair of soaked breeches and equally sodden boots, Reilly saw that his fears of being unmanned before the entire village had been ill-founded: no one with the exception of Maeve and Nancy was paying the slightest attention to him. The patrons of The Tortured Hare seemed to find the contents of their ale tankards more interesting than the half naked man in the corner, and a good deal more fascinating than the fully naked one stretched out upon the table in the center of the room.
All except for the tavern's proprietress, that is, who was calling to the ferryman, "Wake up. Wake up now, Stuben."
Reilly, oddly touched by the woman's tenacious refusal to admit the obvious, said gently, "Madam, it grieves me to inform you of this, but the truth of the matter is, Mr. Stuben is dead."
The woman froze, a hot cloth, which she'd been about to drop over the ferryman's nether regions, steaming in her hands. She eyed Reilly very astonishedly indeed. "Dead?" she echoed.
The word appeared to have a riveting effect on the tavern's patrons. Suddenly, all heads swiveled in Reilly's direction.
"Er...yes." Now that he'd managed, at last, to attract the attention of nearly every person in the room, Reilly became acutely aware of his near nakedness. The blanket that had been suggested earlier seemed a long time coming.
Nevertheless, he had a duty to perform, and perform it he would.
"Yes, madam," he went on. "Dead. He has no pulse, nor has he taken a breath since I pulled him from the water. I hate to tell you this, but I fear your efforts, though valiant, are rather useless at this point."
He noticed that the patrons of The Tortured Hare suddenly seemed a good deal more interested in the man on the plank now that it appeared he was not alive. In fact, some of them were straining their necks to get a better look at him. A dead ferryman, Reilly supposed, was eminently more worthy of attention than a live one.
"Dead?" The woman looked down at the cadaverous visage below her. "Stuben? But he's never died afore."
Reilly raised an eyebrow. "Yes," he said, wondering if everyone in the place was daft, and if so what he as the village's only physician was going to be expected to do about it. "Well, this time, I'm afraid his plunge was fatal. I'm very sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I did everything I humanly could for him, but I'm afraid the water was just so cold, and he is as you can see rather advanced in years."
Reilly thought it wisest not to mention the dead man's level of intoxication at his time of death. There were ladies present, after all.
"He just wasn't strong enough to make it this time," Reilly said. "Now, if it wouldn't trouble you too much, I wonder if you could send someone down to the ferry for my things. I'd like to change "
He was interrupted by the violent banging of the front door as it flew open to reveal a tall figure, swathed in a heavy dark cloak, the ends of which whipped smartly in the bitter wind.
"Oh, Miss Brenna!" The proprietress of The Tortured Hare looked immensely relieved. "Thank God you're here."
Reilly looked with interest upon the figure in the doorway. So this was the Miss Brenna everybody kept talking about! Well, she certainly didn't disappoint. She was tall enough to be a Brenna, surely. Only a few inches shorter than he was, by God, and he stood just over six feet tall. The cloak hid her figure, and the deep hood her face, so he couldn't quite see if the rest of her fit her name, but she certainly looked an Amazon. Pearson and Shelley would be right pleased to hear it.
"Stuben's gone into the drink again," one of the fishermen informed her. "And that one said he's dead."
The voice was precisely the sort he'd expect from a Brenna, deep in pitch and not at all feminine. Reilly was congratulating himself on being an excellent judge of womankind when a gloved hand parted the folds of the cloak, swept back the hood...
...and very nearly caused him an apoplexy. Because there was no double chin here, nothing in that countenance that could be construed as the least bit reminiscent of a horse, except perhaps the wild mane of copper-colored curls which tumbled, perfectly unrestrained by net or comb, from the top of her head. In fact, this particular Brenna was all that was comely and fair.
As he was only too capable of attesting, considering the fact that beneath her cloak the girl was wearing...a second glance proved it...a pair of men's trousers.
Yes, men's trousers, which clung suggestively to her slim thighs, and were tightly cinched about the waist with a thick leather belt, into which had been tucked the ends of a bulky green sweater. On the girl's feet Reilly observed a pair of sturdy leather boots.
The sweater and the boots hid some key attributes, but the trousers were magnificent. Reilly had never seen a woman in trousers before. Christine, he was quite certain, would sooner have paraded in a potato sack than anything remotely resembling pants.
Still, it was a fashion innovation that, though it might not have reached Paris or London as yet, Reilly felt he could whole-heartedly support. In truth, he felt quite overwhelmed by its impact, enough so that it was a moment or two before he became aware that the girl was speaking again.
"Who said Stuben was dead?" she demanded, in that mannish voice that now seemed so at odds with her extremely feminine appearance.
A dozen fingers pointed in Reilly's direction, and a second later he found himself pinned under the gaze of a pair of eyes that were not only the bluest, but also quite positively the shrewdest, he'd ever seen. He had no hat to snatch from his head at the sight of her Maeve had appropriated that, as well as his coat and cloak and so could only bow a little at the waist, morbidly conscious of his state of near nakedness.
"I did," he said, inexplicably unnerved by the brightness of her gaze. "I said it. I pulled him from the water myself. He had no pulse. He was ice cold "
"Who," she asked, blinking once, "are you?"
He noticed that Miss Brenna, unlike everyone else whom he'd encountered since crossing the border, did not possess a Scottish burr but spoke as God and the Queen intended, with a good clean English accent.
"Stanton," he said. "Reilly Stanton. I'm the one who accepted the position "
She had already looked away from him, and was striding toward the corpse.
" you all advertised." Reilly watched as she wrenched the dead man to his side, then moved behind him. "The physician's position. I'm here to begin my appointment." Noting that no one looked very comprehending, he added quickly, "I'm licensed, of course, by the Royal College of Physicians. I'm a Fellow of the College, as well Oxford, actually and I studied in Paris...I say, perhaps you didn't hear me, but that gentleman is really quite "
To his utter disbelief, the girl plowed her fist with enough force to cause a hollow thudding sound, which surely would have smarted if the fellow hadn't already been dead into the center of the corpse's back, exactly between his shoulder blades.
" dead," Reilly said. "I'm terribly sorry. I did everything I could."
It was at that moment that the ferryman opened his mouth and spewed a fountain of rum and seawater onto the floor, splashing the boots of everyone around him, including Reilly.
Blinking groggily, the previously dead ferryman managed a sheepish smile.
"Sorry 'bout that," he said.

In 1847 Marquis Dr. Reilly Stanton leaves London and a lucrative practice to accept the job of physician in Lyming on the Isle of Skye off the Scottish coast. Reilly needs to prove to his former fiancee Christine King that he is not a worthless chronic drunk. On the isle, Reilly meets the local amazon Brenna Donnegal who has provided medical services in the absence of her father, a physician. Lord Glendenning wants to marry Brenna and tries to force Reilly into helping him. The debauched aristocrat simply wants Brenna so impoverished, she has no choice but to wed him. Instead, Reilly not only admires his rival, he falls in love with her. LADY OF SKYE is an entertaining Victorian romance that readers of historicals will fully enjoy. The story line is crisp, tense, and often amusing. Except for a wee bit too much to drink, Reilly is a heroic individual and Brenna is a role model of the assertive woman not afraid to compete with males (perhaps a century and a half before her time but only a purist will care). Patricia Cabot provides her audience with a delightful novel that brings the mid nineteenth century vividly alive. Harriet Klausner
This is a great book and I read it a while ago when I was 10. :O Hahaha. Well, I really enjoyed it and I read it over more times than I can count and I recommend it to everyone.
Cabot has again proven that her characters are more than just pretty faces. She has redefined the romance genre by allowing her characters to be thinking, feeling, intellegent and progressive. Lady of Sky is a no holds barred tale of suspense, humor, and social commentary, beautifully woven through the lives of the most colorful characters to come about in a long time. Here's to Cabot and her endless supply of ideas.

MSJ-11 Zouka by Tekka-CroeWatch
©2011-2016 Tekka-Croe
Another design for Gundam Dawn. Basically an HRL mobile suit inspired by the classic Zaku. The Zouka was a mobile suit in development by the Human Reform League. Standing at a relatively diminutive 15.4 meters, the Zouka was the HRL's attempt at creating a "dwarf mobile suit," better suited to city-fighting and close-in urban combat than the lumbering Tieren mobile suits usually fielded by the HRL. Only twenty were produced, all of which were stationed at the HRL's GN development complex in the Pacific. The design was nearly ready to enter mass production, but was rendered obsolete by the unexpected introduction of the GN-X.
What of range long or short type of ms
OMG it's SNIPER JOE from Megaman
How much does the Zoaka weigh?
lovely redesign of the zaku, I'd love to see this as a model
this make me happy.., a nice mash of old and new.., simply nice feeling..,
its awesome
what kind of wepons dose it ues?
great design! I was going to say "reminds of the Tieren" until i read the description/flavor text haha I really like the linework here!
what cind of wepons cuode it ues? and it lokes much more munuverbul than the Tieren.
"It's no Zaku! No Zaku!"
But very cool regardless.
But very cool regardless.
this looked like a combination of zaku and tieren
Looks a lot like the Tieran from Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
I would pilot that, Its EPIC
Your skill is beyond awesome ^^d
I love it... Keep up the good work
Zaku are beast on the battlefield.
it's like a mean little Tieren 2.0.... excellent!
Really nice!
I like the mechanical appeal of this, very nice !
I love Zakus, I love Tierens, and I love this!
This is what a real-world Zaku should look like, if it ever was produced. Too bad the GN-X had to overshadow it; I was expecting a so-called "super-soldier custom" (Read: 3x faster... XD)
Kudos to this, buddy! d^^
Kudos to this, buddy! d^^
Now that be an awesome design. I like the numerous Zaku elements you put into it.
This really takes all the armor and bulyness of the original Tieren and turns it into a much more slim and combat-esque mobile suit I always wished it would be.

They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away...but have you tried the same theory with a fresh farm egg a day? Our hens are happy and well cared for and eat mostly off the land. We have a wide variety of brown and cream colored eggs ready to go and will deliver. Come April or May our Ameraucana hens will start laying and they lay blue and green tinted eggs!

"Visiting the Eder Dam" Waldeck by vichatherly
Waldeck Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 42 photos
We went to Dortmund for a lovely long weekend in June 2011. The plan was to use Dortmund as a base for a four day tour of the famous Ruhr reservoir dams attacked by RAF 617 squadron in May 1943. The squadron of Lancaster bombers, led by Guy Gibson, had the new bouncing bomb. The daring WWII raid was named as ?Operation Chastise? but afterwards it became better known as ?The Dambusters Raid?.
Our first day was spent visiting the EDER dam around the small town of Waldeck. Then for our second day we spent time exploring Dortmund and sampling some of its excellent local beers and tasty sausages, not too mention the white asparagus.
On day three we drove to the other two dams in our Dambuster tour and went to the MOHNE dam, just south of Soest and the SORPE dam at Langscheid.
For our final day we spent time relaxing in Dortmund, and more specifically at the splendid Westfalenpark before heading back home.
For the full breakdown of the trip, just take a look at the "Operation Chastise June 2011" travelogue.

In the last couple of weeks, I've found myself answering a lot of questions regarding the merits of re-mortgaging given the current interest rate conditions. If you have not spoken with a mortgage advisor in the past couple of months – MAKE IT A TOP PRIORITY TO DO THIS TODAY!!!!

Price matters.
I talk to my sellers about the "critical first 3 weeks." While I'll do everything I can to get you top dollar for your home, I would be doing you a great disservice if I told you we could price it 20%, or even 10%, above market value and still find willing buyers. As a matter of fact, starting out high could end up netting you less, since the longer your home is on ...
There have been several instances of falling glass panels and failed window seals in condominium apartments in the Greater Toronto Area. While the construction industry and government initiatives deal with these issues and try to prevent any further occurrences, I believe planning by condominium boards is also important for the future of these glass clad towers and to protect the investment of the ...

I'm getting used to this site still, but I enjoy comedy, tragedy, and romance, but I do prefer more of a cartoony style (whatever the actual term is) then one of those darker drawing styles. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the course of the past 15 years, dialysis has been employed with increasing frequency for treating patients with chronic renal failure. Acknowledged indications for dialysis include rapid deterioration caused by an intercurrent illness or acute exacerbation of the underlying disease, and relief of azotemia before surgery.1-3 More recently, dialysis has been employed in the management of patients with end-stage kidney disease.4,5 A significant prolongation of life has been obtained in a few patients by a program of "periodic" dialyses performed at intervals of three to seven days.6 Unfortunately, this type of therapy has so many drawbacks and is so costly that it can be made available to a very small minority of carefully selected patients.
An alternate approach to the therapy of advanced, chronic renal failure is to employ dialysis on an "intermittent" basis, whenever medical management alone fails to produce relief of uremia. The present

Hi all,
We are looking at booking MAN to MCO via Philadelphia, but on the outbound flights we have a choice between 2 and 4 hours stopovers. Never having changed internally in USA before which is better? Also I'm assuming on the return leg, the majority of the work gets done in MCO and MAN so we won't need as long in Phili?
Normally go direct but the flight prices are ridiculous now so willing to give US Airways a chance after reading the reviews on here!!!

So we're in the middle of a blizzard and I went down into my basement to do laundry and I hear this meowing. I look over and see a cat in our window (we have plasticcoverings on them so I figured it was hiding from the snow and got stuck.
I went upstairs to get a flashlight and try to go save it. When I opened the door the cat was on my porch meowing. I opened the door and it came right in. It's extremely friendly and rubbed up against my leg the second I let it in. It also has no problem with my loud rowdy boys. Which leads me to believe it can't possibly be a stray.
Kitty has no collar though. I posted on my neighborhood's fb page it's pic and desciption, but so far no one has responded..I dk what to do with it. I have two dogs and I'm afraid they're going to scare the cat or chase it.
What should I do with it for the night? Normally one of my dog's is an outside dog and sleeps in the backyard but it's going to be snowing all night and I don't want her out there. My other dog usually sleeps in the unfinished basement. I have a small animal carrier, should I try to put the cat in there for the night?
Also, is it okay if I give it tuna because I already did lol as you can tell I'm not a cat person! And my DH is going to kill me when he comes home tomorrow from being gone for a week to find another animal in the house, but it's not my fault!

Forecast For High Risk Of Landslides Coming True
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Oregon's Department of Geology put all of western Oregon on notice for increased potential of landslides Monday. Across the Columbia River, state geologists in Washington reclassified Pacific and Clark counties to "high hazard" for landslides.
One of the first spots to give way in winter storms are typically the bluffs above the railroads tracks between Seattle and Everett. Sound Transit reports at least three slides there Monday will force cancellation of passenger service north out of Seattle through at least late Wednesday.
Washington's chief hazards geologist Tim Walsh is also keeping an eye out for debris flows from terrain charred by last summer's wildfires.
"Certainly the burn areas are areas where you would expect there to be a lot of erosion initially because you have lost the shrubbery and tree cover in a lot of places. That will then concentrate into channels and you'll get debris flows that can come out down in the valley below."
Walsh says people who live near the mouths of canyons should be prepared to evacuate on short notice.

Whether you and I like it or not, many bouts are billed as, and believed by the vast majority to be for world titles. When in reality they are often not lineal, not for an in-demand title, nor even contested between anywhere near the best fighters at that weight.
The original question raised by Sally referred to 'world champion'. Not 'lineal' champion.
Did Corrie Sanders become a world titlist/champion when he KOed Wlad and won the WBO title? Ask 10 people and prepare to get 10 different answers
Like I said, where do you draw a line in the sand? I certainly don't recognise the WBO Heavyweight title lineage. You can make a much stronger case for it at Middleweight. If most of the world recognise it, that's fine. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. If Corrie Sanders was calling himself world champion, I wouldn't be upset. I just don't recognise it.
Not even Corrie's immediate family would've considered him "the man" at Heavyweight while Lewis was there. I remember the fight well. the general reaction was a contender had been rolled by a fringe contender, not a passing of the torch. Incidentally he binned the title to fight Vitali.
As for asking 10 fans, I reckon you'd get 3 answers. Yes from the newer age fans who generally recognise the lot. Interim titles etc and probably don't follow the history of the sport as intently. A yeah he was a belt holder from those who kind of recognise the WBO and a no from the more die hard and older fans. Just my opinion.

- Pluralism
We explored the influence of negation on cognitive dynamics, measured using mouse-movement trajectories, to test the classic notion that negation acts as an operator on linguistic processing. In three experiments, participants verified the truth or falsity of simple statements, and we tracked the computer-mouse trajectories of their responses. Sentences expressing these facts sometimes contained a negation. Such negated statements could be true (e.g., "elephants are not small") or false (e.g., "elephants are not large"). In the first experiment, as predicted by the classic notion of negation, we found that negation caused more discreteness in the mouse trajectory of a response. The second experiment induced a simple context for these statements, yet negation still increased discreteness in trajectories. A third experiment enhanced the pragmatic context of sentences, and the discreteness was substantially diminished, with one primary measure no longer significantly showing increased discreteness at all. Traditional linguistic theories predict rapid shifts in cognitive dynamics occur due to the nature of negation: It is an operator that reverses the truth or falsity of an interpretation. We argue that these results support both propositional and contextual accounts of negation present in the literature, suggesting that contextual factors are crucial for determining the kind of cognitive dynamics displayed. We conclude by drawing broader lessons about theories of cognition from the case of negation.

Reigning Queens: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, 1985
Screenprints in colours with 'diamond dust', on Lenox Museum Board, 100.0 x 80.0 cm
From the early 1960s, the American artist Andy Warhol (1928-87) used existing portraits as the basis for many of his prints and paintings.
For his series of screen prints depicting Queen Elizabeth II, made in 1985 as part of his Reigning Queens portfolio, he turned to the official photograph released for the Silver Jubilee in 1977. This had been taken, at Windsor Castle on 2 April 1975 by the photographer Peter Grugeon (1918–80).
Warhol has simplified Grugeon's portrait so that all that remains is a mask-like face. All character has been removed and we are confronted by a symbol of royal power. By reproducing the same image four times, Warhol demonstrates his interest in mass production and reminds us that Queen Elizabeth II is the most depicted woman in the world.
The format of the prints and his intention that they should be displayed as multiples suggests that Warhol has been inspired to create the postage stamp on a monumental scale. The use of vibrant colours and the introduction of graphic shapes give the prints an air of artificiality.
These particular prints belong to the 'Royal Edition' as the outlines have been sprinkled with 'diamond dust', fine particles of ground up glass which were applied to the print when wet, and sparkle in the light like diamonds. Unlike all the other works in this exhibition, The Queen did not sit for or commission this portrait. The four prints were acquired for the Royal Collection in 2012.

Comments about Swiss Kriss Herbal Laxative Flakes, 3.25 oz:
I used to use this product for facial steams in my teens. I went away from it for decades (lazy). After thoroughly enjoying the steam room on a recent cruise, I purchased this product again. It recommends steaming every night for 3 nights and then once per week after that. I love the feel and how relaxing this time is that I do it every other night. I definitely feel my face is recovering a glow it hasn't had in years.
