A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
Demetrius Timeline and Summary
- 1.1: In Athens, Demetrius and Egeus appear before Duke Theseus. We learn that Demetrius and Hermia are engaged (thanks to Hermia's dad), but Hermia doesn't want to marry him—she wants to marry her boyfriend, Lysander.
- 1.1: We learn that Demetrius was once engaged to Helena, who is still in love with him.
- 2.1: Demetrius shows up in the wood looking for Lysander and Hermia, who have run off to elope. Demetrius is looking to kill Lysander.
- 2.1: Demetrius is followed by Helena, who begs him to love her again. He treats her like garbage and tells her to scram... or else.
- 2.1: Demetrius runs off to hide in the bushes, so Helena will be left "to the mercy of wild beasts."
- 3.2: Demetrius finds Hermia in the wood and begs her to love him.
- 3.2: Demetrius is accused by Hermia of killing Lysander, who is nowhere to be found. (Demetrius didn't kill him. Lysander has been dosed with Oberon's magic love juice and is busy chasing Helena around the wood, but Demetrius doesn't know about this.)
- 3.2: Demetrius argues with Hermia, which makes him sleepy. He takes a nap.
- 3.2: Demetrius is dosed by Puck with the magic love juice. When he wakes up, he sees Helena and falls in love with her. (Hermia who?)
- 3.2: Demetrius and Lysander fight over Helena and try to convince her that they really do love her.
- 3.2: Demetrius and Lysander run off to duke it out, man to man.
- 3.3: Demetrius gets tired and falls asleep after trying to find Lysander in the wood.
- 4.1: Demetrius wakes up next to the other Athenians the following morning. He's says groggily that he can't believe what happened the night before.
- 4.1: Demetrius tells Duke Theseus that he no longer loves Hermia. Now, he wants to marry Helena.
- 4.1: Off-stage, Demetrius marries Helena in a triple wedding ceremony that also includes Hermia and Lysander and Theseus and Hippolyta.
- 5.1: Demetrius watches the Mechanicals perform a play and makes snarky comments throughout the silly performance of Pyramus and Thisbe.
- 5.1: After the play, Demetrius goes to bed with Helena.

The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball program added another big piece to their program this past week after signing Ashley Phelps to a National Letter of Intent.
"Ashley is a strong, physical player who puts a lot of heat on the ball and will help us on both the outside and right side," said head coach Tony Graystone. "We're very excited about Ashley joining the Islanders and know she'll have a great career with us."
Phelps, a 6'1" outside hitter from Colorado who played at Conifer High School where she helped lead her team to the district playoffs as a senior. She finished her senior season with a team-high 246 kills and was second on squad with 123 digs during the year. She also added 18 service aces, 22 block solos and 11 block assists in 58 sets.
For her efforts, she was named first team all-conference and MVP as well as being selected to the All-State team following her senior season. She was chosen to play in the Colorado All-State Volleyball Games, one of just 90 players chosen for the event.
She was the volleyball team captain and also helped coach younger kids on an eighth grade team and another middle school recreational team. She has played club volleyball for the Colorado Juniors for the past four years and has competed in the Junior Olympics every year since her freshman season.
A standout player, Phelps was nominated by opposing coaches for the Gatorade Player of the Year award and was also selected as a "Player to Watch" by the American Volleyball Association (AVA) and the National Volleyball Association (NVA).

The Bell Jar
by Sylvia Plath
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"Leggo you bitch!"
Lenny stooped, and Doreen went flying up on to his shoulder [...] (2.26)
It sounds like assault, but it isn't – it's just the prelude to Lenny and Doreen's hookup. This episode looks ahead to Esther's sexual encounters, which often do not seem distinguishable from violence.
Quote #2
There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of the man who would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings. (5.26)
Esther's idea of romantic love contrasts with the prevailing view of love around her as something exclusively between husbands and wives, toward the goal of creating a family.
Quote #3
Then he just stood there in front of me and I kept on staring at him. The only thing I could think of was turkey neck and turkey gizzards and I felt very depressed. (6.49)
Ouch. Really, just ouch. Esther is not at all impressed with Buddy's, ahem, family jewels. So much for passionate love.

Published 28 July 2014
In the wake of the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, widely attributed to Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, many magazines and newspapers around the world issued damning indictments against Russian President Putin, portraying him on their covers as a bloodthirsty fiend, a pariah, a liar, and a murderer.
The August 4 cover of "Time" magazine says the West is losing "Cold War II" against "Putin's dangerous game."
For "Newsweek," Putin is the "West's public enemy number one."
Putin's "Russian Spring" has brought about a "Cold War" in the middle of July, posits Ukraine's "Focus" weekly magazine.
Romania's "Adevarul" daily, dated July 25, pictures Vladimir Putin playing poker with European leaders. The headline reads, "Where does Europe's cowardice in the face of Russia come from?" An explanation follows: "Europe and Russia are tied by bilateral trade and oil and gas that are imported from Russia, so if sanctions are imposed on Moscow, they will affect the EU economy."
"Stop Putin Now!" says the July 28 cover of Germany's "Der Spiegel" magazine with photos of some of the MH17 victims.
The July 28 issue of Poland's "Niepodlegla" calls the Russian leader "Bloodymir."
The July 25 cover of Britain's "Private Eye" features a photo of Putin against the backdrop of the Buk missile-defense system, suspected of bringing down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, and captions it, "I will find those responsible and give them a rocket."
The August 1 U.S. edition of the British news magazine "The Week" shows Putin with "blood on his hands" in front of the Buk surface-to-air missile launcher, which has been blamed for the MH17 downing.
"The Economist" pictures Putin entangled in a "web of lies."
"Getting Away With Murder" -- Canada's "Maclean's" weekly news magazine puts the blame for the MH17 crash squarely on "Putin's ambitions."
Australia's "The Spectator," dated July 26, pictures Russia as an armed bear gobbling up an airplane.
July 25's "Polska" quotes an online statement by a parent of one of the MH17 victims saying, "Mr. Putin, You Killed My Only Child."

What Are Organic Acidemias?
Organic Acidaemias are a group of inheritable genetic metabolic disorders in which there is a defect in protein metabolism where an essential enzyme is absent or malfunctioning. This defect results in a build up of chemicals, in this case usually acids, on one side of the metabolic blockage and a deficiency of vital chemicals on the other. This causes an overdosage of one chemical (often toxic) and the shortage of another which is essential to normal body functioning.
The effect of the disorder will depend upon the age at which symptoms occur. Children with less severe forms of the conditions develop symptoms later.
Characteristics of the conditions include general malaise, reluctance to feed, breathing problems, vomiting, hypotonia (floppiness) and/or spasticity (stiffness).
Early detection and treatment can greatly mitigate the effects of the disorder.
Inheritance patterns
Autosomal recessive
Pre-natal diagnosis
Chorionic villus sampling at 8-10 weeks is now the usual method of testing.Maple Syrup Urine Disease can also be identified where DNA testing, prior to pregnancy, was informative. Amniocentesis at 16-20 weeks is also sometimes used.
Due to the increasing number of conditions identified as coming under the umbrella of Organic Acidaemias, it is not possible to include them all in this entry. They can now be found listed individually in the index and are updated regularly. Where there is an alternative parent support network for individual conditions this is indicated.
METABOLISM is the means by which the body derives energy and synthesizes the other molecules it needs from the fats, carbohydrates and proteins we eat as food, by enzymatic reactions helped by minerals and vitamins. This global statement masks the complicated network of enzyme- catalyzed reactions that occurs in cells. Although this page is devoted to diseases caused by errors in metabolic processes, there is actually a significant level of tolerance of errors in the system: often, a mutation in one enzyme does not mean that the individual will suffer from a disease. A number of different enzymes may compete to modify the same molecule, and there may be more than one way to achieve the same end result for a variety of metabolic intermediates. Disease will only occur if a critical enzyme is disabled, or if a control mechanism for a metabolic pathway is affected. Here, we highlight the diseases of metabolism for which a gene has been identified, cloned and mapped. Many of these are inborn errors of metabolism: inherited traits that are due to a mutation in a metabolic enzyme; others involve mutations in regulatory proteins and in transport mechanisms.
Infants presenting acutely with an inborn error of metabolism (IEM) frequently remain undiagnosed until late in the course of their illness. Delay in the recognition and treatment of an IEM may have tragic consequences. Unfortunately, the acute presentation of an IEM often resembles more common disorders such as sepsis.
Incidence of IEM
The cumulative incidence of IEM is about 1/5000 live births. This is equivalent to the incidence of juvenile diabetes mellitus. It has been estimated that 20% of infants presenting with a "sepsis" picture in the absence of risk factors (such as prematurity, chorioamnionitis, etc.) have an IEM.
General Concepts
In spite of the variety of disorders and the different phenotypes described, some generalizations can be made. A generic metabolic pathway might take substrate A and convert it to a product, C:A -----> B -----> C
If there is a block in the conversion of B to C, then an alternative pathway may be activated:A -----> B --//--> C | | D -----> E
The specific metabolic effect of a given enzymatic block may be through the effect of increased precursors (A and B), the lack of the product (C), or the presence of increased amounts of alternate products (D and E). Because the amount of enzymatic block, activity of alternate pathways, and endogenous production of precursors can differ between patients, the phenotype for a given disorder can be quite variable. Anything that causes an increased metabolic flux through the defective pathway can result is clinical deterioration (i.e. a metabolic crisis). The largest source of many metabolites is from endogenous catabolism rather than from exogenous sources. Factors that increase catabolism such as illness, fever, and starvation make many IEM much worse.
Classification of IEM
There are many classification schemes for IEM, all with their own limitations. One popular scheme divides IEM into three categories: cellular intoxication, energy deficiency, and mixed types. Disorders with cellular intoxication exert their effect by poisoning cells with excess precursors or alternate products. The cellular intoxication category is usually divided into small molecule disorders (eg. amino and organic acidurias) and large molecule disorders (eg. storage diseases). The small molecule disorders may be further subdivided by two types of clinical presentation: an insidious effect with few to no acute crises; and a chronic effect punctuated by acute metabolic decompensations, often brought on by illness and increased catabolism. The energy deficient disorders exert their effects by depriving cells of the energy they need to function properly (eg. mitochondrial and fatty acid oxidation disorders). While many people would place disorders such as peroxisomal diseases in the energy deficiency category, there is also a component of cellular intoxication, so they may best be placed in a mixed category.
- Suspicion
An important key to diagnosing an IEM is thinking about the possibility in the first place. The symptoms and signs that should make you think about an IEM are common and nonspecific:
- Acute illness following a period of normalcy
- Lethargy and coma
- Hypotonia, seizures (especially if hard to control), intractable hiccups
- Apnea or respiratory distress
- Sepsis, particularly with E. coli
- Unusual odor
- Jaundice
- Dysmorphic features
- Organomegaly
- Positive family history or parental consanguinity
- Evaluation
Once you suspect the possibility of an IEM, how should it be evaluated? There are 5 parts to the evaluation of an IEM.
- History, Family History
The history largely focuses around the features that made you suspicious for an IEM. The neonate will often be well for 24 hours or more then decompensate. The slightly older infant may have had episodic problems associated with minor illnesses or may just have failure to thrive and developmental delay.
The family history is very important but often not taken. Most IEM are autosomal recessive, so there may have been siblings with similar illnesses or deaths from "sepsis" or "SIDS". The parents may be consanguineous or come from a genetic isolate such as a small village in Mexico. There are also X-linked, and mitochondrial inherited IEM, so a family history must include information about the mother's siblings, their children, etc. A pedigree only containing nuclear family members is inadequate.
- Physical Examination
The physical exam of patients with IEM is usually normal except for nonspecific findings such as lethargy, coma, apnea or hyperpnea, seizures, hypotonia, etc. Physical findings that are important and will help to narrow the differential diagnosis include:
- facial dysmorphism
- cataracts, retinopathy
- structural brain anomalies
- hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy
- hepatomegaly
- multicystic dysplastic kidneys
- myopathy
An unusual odor can be particularly helpful in several disorders:
Odor Disorder musty phenylketonuria cabbage tyrosinemia maple syrup maple syrup urine disease sweaty feet isovaleric acidemia, glutaric acidemia type II cat urine 3-methylcrotonyl CoA carboxylase and multiple carboxylase deficiencies
- History, Family History
- Initial Screening Tests
The initial evaluation of an acutely ill infant for an IEM should include:
- CBC - neutropenia is frequent in some organic acidemias.
- Electrolytes, ABG - to evaluate for acidosis and anion gap.
- Glucose - hypoglycemia is a feature of many IEM.
- Ammonia - hyperammonemia is present in urea cycle abnormalities and some organic acidemias. Rapidly flowing blood should be obtained and the sample placed on ice and hand carried to the lab. The test should be done within 1 hour, so the lab may need prior notification.
- Uric acid - if neurologic abnormalities are present, low uric acid is suggestive for molybdenum cofactor deficiency.
- Urinalysis - the presence of ketones is unusual even in sick neonates and suggests an organic acidemia. Clinitest for reducing substances should be performed*, but should be interpreted carefully because of a high false positive rate.
* Older tests that may be useful include ferric chloride for ketoacids (positive in phenylketonuria, tyrosinemia, maple syrup urine disease, histidinemia, alkaptonuria, and in the presence of other substances such as acetoacetic acid, salicylates, phenothiazines, antipyrin, isoniazid, and acetaminophen), and a cyanide nitroprusside test for disulfides (positive in cystinuria and homocystinuria).
- Lactate, pyruvate - elevation of lactate is a frequent secondary finding in many IEM, but there are primary lactic acidoses due to defects in energy metabolism. The lactate/pyruvate ratio (normal < 25) will help to evaluate the possibilities. It often takes a week to get pyruvate results, but lactate results should be back quickly. These tests are notoriously subject to artifactual changes because of sample collection or handling errors. Freely flowing blood (usually arterial or from a line) should be drawn with a minimum of tourniquet time and muscular action of the infant. For a lactate and pyruvate measurement, exactly 1 cc of blood should be injected into a tube containing 2 ml of cold perchloric acid (trichloroacetic acid is used at Cedars), shaken vigorously, and placed on ice. The deproteinized blood sample should then be hand carried to the lab. If the blood is placed in a fluoride tube (as at Cedars for a lactate only) instead of being deproteinized with perchloric acid, the lactate will be artifactually elevated 8-23% depending on the hematocrit. Pyruvate, on the other hand, is rapidly metabolized (half life about 10 minutes) if the sample is not deproteinized at the bedside -- making the results worthless.
- Plasma amino acids - 1-2 cc of blood in a heparin or EDTA tube, on ice. It is important to draw this while the patient is ill, not after treatment. Many abnormalities will disappear when the child improves and may make the diagnosis difficult. It may take several days for results.
- Urine organic acids - 10-20 cc of urine, frozen. The urine may be frozen in aliquots. If the sample is allowed to sit at room temperature or even in the refrigerator volatile organic acids may disappear. It is important to obtain this sample when the patient is ill. It generally takes several days for results.
- In addition, freeze 1-2 cc of plasma, 10-20 cc of urine - additional tests may be needed later, and specimens obtained at the time of illness are the most valuable.
Numerous other specialized tests are performed depending on the clinical context. Examples include carnitine, acylcarnitines, very long chain fatty acids, lysosomal enzymes, etc. Many of these tests are done at only one place in the country and it can take weeks to months to get results. These tests should generally be ordered after consultation with Genetics.
A definitive diagnosis may sometimes be made from screening tests but often specific enzymatic analysis or DNA testing is required. It may be necessary to biopsy tissues such as liver or muscle. These tests, if done at all, are usually done in research laboratories and it may take months for results.
After you have sent the initial screening tests, you need to sort out the type of IEM you may be dealing with. The categories of IEM that may present in the neonatal period include:
- organic acidemias
- amino acidurias
- urea cycle
- glycogen storage
- lysosomal storage
- peroxisomal
- fatty acid oxidation
- mitochondrial- defects in energy generation
- galactosemia
- nonketotic hyperglycinemia
- molybdenum cofactor deficiency
- Menke's disease
- Lowe's syndrome
This daunting list can be simplified to disorders presenting with:
- hypoglycemia
- increased anion gap metabolic acidosis
- hyperammonemia without acidosis
- prominent neurologic features
- dysmorphic features
and two important exceptions:
- galactosemia
- phenylketonuria
Before examining algorithms for sorting out these disorders it is important to realize that all medical algorithms are imperfect and vary somewhat depending on who devises them. An important concept is the pleiotropic effects that some disorders have. A good example is the organic acid disorder propionic acidemia. While elevation in propionic acid causes an anion gap acidosis, there are many other effects including a functional pyloric stenosis. Some patients have even gone to surgery for pyloromyotomy in the past. Propionic acid accumulates in cells in the form of CoA esters, depleting the pool of CoA. This results in a deficiency of acetyl CoA, the substrate for oxidative phosphorylation and an important regulator of the urea cycle. Secondary lactic acidosis and hyperammonemia result. Patients often have hypoglycemia. Propionic acid is also conjugated to carnitine and excreted in the urine depleting the body of carnitine. Carnitine depletion causes a block in the metabolism of fatty acids, further interrupting energy generation.
The basic principles for treatment of the acute inborn errors are:
- Prevent catabolism - the dietary intake of offending substances is usually a small fraction of the amount contained within the body. Since cellular proteins turn over about every 24 hours, an increase in catabolism due to stress from infection, surgery, birth, etc. can rapidly overwhelm the compensatory mechanisms and result in clinical decompensation. Administration of calories is used in the treatment of acute episodes to try to slow down catabolism. A poor intake of calories can contribute to poor metabolic control just as much as an excessive intake of the offending substance.
- Limit the intake of the offending substance - if possible, through manipulation of the diet.
- Increase excretion of toxic metabolites - by using alternative pathways. For example, carnitine is useful in the elimination of organic acids in the form of carnitine esters. Sodium benzoate and phenylacetate are useful in treating hyperammonemia.
- Increase the residual enzyme activity (if possible) - this is usually accomplished by administration of pharmacologic doses of the vitamin cofactor for the defective enzyme. If the binding constant for the vitamin has been altered and the enzyme is otherwise reasonably functional, increasing the vitamin concentration will increase enzyme activity via a mass action effect.
- Transplantation, gene therapy - potentially these treatments can cure many IEM, but irreversible brain damage may have occurred before there is an opportunity to use these therapies.
The specific treatment provided depends a lot on the particular disorder, but follows the general principles listed in the section on treatment protocols. Treatment should be supervised by a IEM specialty team including a physician, dietician, and social worker. In many respects these patients are similar to diabetics in terms of the psychosocial aspects of chronic disease, recurrent hospitalizations, etc. Dealing with psychosocial issues can be at least as important as any prescription.
Since IEM are hereditary in nature, the family should have formal genetic counseling including prognosis for the patient, recurrence risk, possibility of prenatal diagnosis, and screening of other family members (if appropriate). Female carriers of X-linked recessive disorders may be at risk for milder forms of the same disease afflicting their sons (for example, ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy).

And so far I am really enjoying it! Can you tell by my smile? I got to take home cash that night! Woo-who! For a stay at home mom with a student loan payment each month - this makes me very happy!
Here's a look at my booth set up for a holiday sale at a local elementary school. (My super cute booth neighbor took these pictures for me.) Which is another perk for me - meeting lots and lots of wonderful people. Again being with Baby J all day doesn't give me much adult chit chat time but I more than make up for it with the people shopping and the other vendors.
Since I wrote this post there was one more sale I participated in at the Jack London Bar in beautiful, but very rainy down town Portland. For this show I was able to give the table a bit more pulled together look. The handmade goods got organized at bit differently into sections and pared down.
The new layout makes more sense to my customer. They can now see all crayon/drawing related goods all in a row and my house wares section off to the side in the trunk where I used to put my larger quilts. Shows off the items better and people enjoyed looking through the colorful fabrics. I still brought quilts but only baby and lap size and hung them on a rack with the purses and baby onesies.
The scene was quite different than the elementary schools and I was able to relax more and just let people browse and chit chat leisurely. The other vendors had fun indie crafts all around. The most memorable was Aurora with her hand sewn, individualized, mis-understood monster ties. So awesome, so original I didn't even want to take a picture of the them and put them up on the blog!
The holiday market season was kind to me this year! I did well in my sales and I know where to focus my energies for next year. I think the time is sooner rather than later to start sewing crayon rolls and pot holders! That was one thing that about broke me this month -- all the sewing to keep up the inventory! Not a bad problem to have though!
Have you done a bazaar this season? Are you thinking about it for next year? Do you have a tip to share too? Leave us a comment, would ya?

The Dolphin File Manager: Smarter and Faster with Keyboard Shortcuts
People like Dolphins. They're fast and smart and swimming with them is on many people's "ten things to do before you die" list. Not me though. The nearest I'll ever get to a Dolphin is the one sitting on my laptop -- the Dolphin file manager that is. It's nippy too but I find that I can speed it up even more by using keybaord shortcuts.

Faces of Conservation: Jim Morgan
"More and more, the world is aware of the fragility of our resources and the need to sustain our planet," Jim Morgan, California Board of Trustees
Jim Morgan is a member of the California Board of Trustees and the Conservancy's Board of Directors. He and his wife, Becky, are not only working together to conserve the lands and waters of the northern Sierra Nevada, they are actively involved in the Conservancy's Asia Pacific Council as well as our efforts in China and other parts of Asia.
Most people know the Sierra Nevada, California's greatest mountain range, for hiking, skiing and other recreational opportunities. But 65 percent of Californians get their water from the Sierras, while the mountain's forests sequester carbon, help clean our air and produce 33 to 50 percent of the state's annual timber supply.
Yet much of the Sierra Nevada is at risk from ill-conceived development, wildfire and other threats to its ecological well-being. This is why my wife, Becky, and I co-founded the Northern Sierra Partnership to conserve this critically important region.
The partnership is a pioneering alliance of the Conservancy and four other leading conservation organizations. We realized that if all of us worked together, we could achieve exponential results in fundraising and conservation action.
Loved by Millions
This beautiful and iconic landscape is loved by millions of Californians and visitors from around the world. In fact, the northern Sierra has long been a part of my family's history and has a special place in the lives of my children and grandchildren. Becky and I knew that by working closely with The Nature Conservancy we could successfully protect this valuable resource. We believe that healthy ecosystems are the foundation of healthy economies.
Protecting Land and Economies
We work with local communities and landowners to protect the watershed, achieve sustainable land uses and enhance local economies. Our goal is a protected water supply, world-class outdoor recreation, healthy forests, natural habitat for native fish and wildlife and working ranches and forests for the citizens of California. We're developing a cutting-edge strategic approach to conserving the northern Sierra.
We got much added support from Governor Schwarzenegger when he formed the Governor's Sierra Initiative task force. By acting in concert with the task force, we can maximize our resources and achieve more than ever before. Building a common conservation vision for the northern Sierra—with public, private and non-profit partners—will serve as a model for collaboration in other regions.

Hi all...Tara here.
So for Thanksgiving this year, we met up with Lauren and Angela (who was visiting from Florida!!) for Thanksgiving dinner. Early last week, Lauren and I struggled to figure out where we'd eat dinner. We wanted to find a place at least RELATIVELY close to being halfway between San Diego and Orange County so neither of us would have to drive exceptionally far. Well...we came up with Gordon's at the Lake San Marcos Resort and Country Club.
I think my first indication that this was a bad idea should have been a) It was a buffet b) It was at a country club in SAN MARCOS (just a quick FYI to those not in the know...kind of an old fashioned area) and c) The price per person was more like $25 as opposed to all other restaurants, which were $50 and above. Alas, we both figured this was the closest we'd get to "halfway" between us. And on our merry way we went....(View map marker for restaurant location relative to our homes.)
Upon arrival, this is what we saw (take note of the tables in the dining room BEHIND Justin):
Now, keep in mind, 4pm is not an odd time to have dinner on Thanksgiving. But, you'd honestly think we were there for the early bird special (get it? Bird? Turkey? Ha ha.). The multitude of people over the age of 65 even led Angela to wonder out loud if we, too, would be granted the senior citizen discount.
Alas, this just provided for some laughs. We visited the buffet way too many times....along with many of the other sprite restaurant guests...
And we were the cutest people there....
What more can you wish for???? HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!

BREATHWORK SAVED MY LIFE! I had a definite death wish for the first 38 yrs of my life and that until I met Paula and starting breathing,I didn"t know what it was and didn"t believe I could possibly enjoy life ever.The day I discovered that I was a joyful spirit,it took my breath away.Then, I also started the Espira Training with the group and it opened a world of possibilities and knowledge. Answers, it brought me so many answers. It still helps me today in my teachings and understanding of the journey of Life.Paula was my hero and always will be the voice in my head telling me to breathe. I remember her saying on the first day "baby,you will have to walk back away from the mountain, and it won"t look so gigantic & scary anymore"I am forever grateful to her for giving me a second chance at life.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 3 in 1 review
Dragon Hunt is the 'introductory' version of the Wyvern CCG. It leads you through a sample game with two pre-sorted decks.
As with most games with different play mechanics, the game itself is good in its' own rights, but if you don't like the basic set-up you may be turned off as I was.
Each player lays out a battlefield of 6 cards FACE DOWN. These are generally Dragon or Terrain cards. A turn generally consists of revealing a dragon card and 'attacking' a card on your opponent's battlefield. Terrain cards act as negative attachments to a dragon which attacks, and two dragons will battle. Once a card is turned up it stays face up.
There are also attack restriction based upon which row you are in... i.e. it takes a flying dragon to attack from the back row.
You also have cards in hand such as Dragonslayers who can modify battles. And you can move your battlefield around, swap out cards etc...
You win by eliminating all of your opponents cards.
Thus, it can be a fun, quick, game of battling back and forth.
Wyvern expands upon this game by adding two more types of cards, Action cards and Treasure cards, and I recall the battlefield is much bigger (12 cards?) I believe Wyvern is out of print, and I was able to buy a ton of cards at high discount prices because I so want to like this game.
Dragon Hunt does come with a booster pack so you can customize the decks a bit.
My own tendency is to not like games with hidden items like this. (reminds me of stratego in a sense. So, to me, though I want to like the game, it just isn't my cup of tea.
My short lived experience with Wyvern made it seem like the strategy is simply to get your biggest, baddest cards onto your battlefield.. i.e. there didn't seem like much incentive to use the big guys and the Scouts (which destroy terrain). And my biggest complaint with a bigger battlefield in Wyvern, remembering which cards you setup where was a big drawback!
The good news is that with Dragon Hunt, and a limited number of cards available, this may not come across as such a bad thing and it may be there is an underlying depth to the game that I simply did not pick up in just a short time of playing.
One last thing... I recall the site I originally saw Dragon Hunt at made it seem like this was a 'revised' game... as if I was getting a completely different type of game than Wyvern but that utilized the cards. As I mentioned, this is not the case, it simply has two less types of cards, but it is still the Wyvern game system

Randy Moss repeatedly emphasized his love of the game, how the "young" 49ers make him feel young, and how their future is a work in progress.
That was his main message Friday, some two hours before the 49ers' first full-squad practice of training camp.
Moss dropped no bombshells and instead returned the flattery his teammates' had given him all offseason as he returns from a one-year hiatus.
Was it a hiatus? Was it a retirement? Was it unemployment? Moss intimated that only he knows and he won't divulge the reason for his one-year absence "until my book comes out." Estimated time of publication: 10 to 15 years, he quipped as he left his first news conference.
Moss was speaking to the media for the first time since his March 12 signing to a one-year, $1.75 million contract.
If his news conference could be summed up in one quote, it was this:
"I'm really not an individual. I've never really been an individual. Through the course of my career, I guess there's a few records I've broken. I'm not about breaking records. They come and go. I just love the game of football. I love being in the locker room. I love being around the guys. These guys are young and very enthusiastic. I don't really feel my age being around these guys. They love to have fun. Coach Harbaugh is a players' coach. I watched coach Harbaugh growing up. When I first came into the league, he was on his way out. Coach Harbaugh, he came in fired up from Day 1 yesterday. We like to have fun around here. I don't feel my age. I love to have fun and I feel good."
In 13 seasons, Moss totaled 954 receptions, 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns. The milestones within reach for him:
-- One touchdown reception to break a tie with Terrell Owens for the second-most in NFL history behind Jerry Rice's 197.
-- Six touchdowns (of any kind) to reach 160 for his career, a mark only reached by Rice (208), Emmitt Smith (175) and LaDainian Tomlinson (162).
-- He is 351 receiving yards shy of surpassing Tim Brown (14,934) and Isaac Bruce (15,208) for third place among the all-time leaders.
-- He needs 46 receptions to reach 1,000 for his career, a mark reached by eight others in NFL history.
-- Another 1,000-yard season would give him 11, and the only one who has more is Rice (14).
Here is the transcript of Moss' question-and-answer session with reporters:
Opening statement:
"Let's go. Y'all got a few questions. Fire away."
What was your first discussion like with Coach Harbaugh?
"The discussion was really between coach and player. I've been around the block a few times to really understand what he wants from me. We have a young team here. Me being a veteran, and like I said I've been around the block a few times, so just try to bring something positive as far as my leadership on and off the field
here. Hopefully it's been a good thing and I want to build from that."
What do you know about 49ers now since that you didn't in March?
"Everything I expected and everything I saw last year from this team, there was really no surprise. These guys love to work and love to compete. By me signing here, being around great group of guys who are young and enthusiastic, makes me feel young too. I'm just enjoying myself. Beautiful weather. Nice organization. Great owner. Was at the Pasta Bowl last night and saw everything they stand for in giving back to the community and helping kids out. That's been my motto my whole career: Giving back and showing kids a better way of living. Last night (at the Pasta Bowl) really raised me up as a person just seeing how this organization functions with their charity work."
Are you aware of the milestones you're close to and are you chasing history?
"I just love to play football. All that other stuff I'll leave up to y'all. I've been playing football since I was 6 years old. The love I have for the game of football will always be in me. I just want to play football. Being here, and coach Harbaugh accepting me and bringing me here, hopefully I can give something back in return with my play and my presence on and off the field."
Records don't mean much?
"I'm really not an individual. I've never really been an individual. Through the course of my career, I guess there's a few records I've broken. I'm not about breaking records. They come and go. I just love the game of football. I love being in the locker room. I love being around the guys. These guys are young and very enthusiastic. I don't really feel my age being around these guys. They love to have fun. Coach Harbaugh is a players coach. I watched coach Harbaugh growing up. When I first came into the league, he was on his way out. Coach Harbaugh, he came in fired up from Day 1 yesterday. We like to have fun around here. I don't feel my age. I love to have fun and I feel good."
On what it was like having Harbaugh throw to you in March:
"It was actually funny. Because I just worked out for the New Orleans Saints and they brought in Brian Brohm from Louisville. Here I didn't know who would be throwing the ball. (Wide receivers coach John Morton) and Harbaugh said we're not brining anybody in, Harbaugh said I'm throwing the ball.
"It was kind of shocking to me to see the head coach can still wing the ball. He can still throw it. It was impressive to me. First couple routes felt loose, then they said OK Randy now it's time to run. I thought I had been running. He can still wing the ball. Coach Harbaugh just likes to have fun. He loves the game too. Being the players coach he is, you can tell how much he loves the game."
On Alex Smith:
"One thing not just addition of me but brining (Mario) Manningham in, we've got a nice group of receivers here. With Alex being the quarterback, we all have to get our timing down, to know what routes we can run. It's a work in progress. I look forward to going out and competing every day. I've accepted it as a challenge. I'm happy to be here. I feel pretty good physically. I can't put into words about the team and how young they are and the enthusiasm they show in locker room, lunch room, on the field, weight room.
"It's just a feeling I haven't felt in a while, being around a group of young guys. It makes me feel good that I cannot look at my age and just feel young. I've got a little pep in my step. It feels good being around these guys."
On being with winning teams and how this compares:
"Anybody that knows football knows it's a work in progress. I can't come up and make a statement about how good we're going to be because it's undetermined. It's just going out and getting better every day. I don't like living off the past but we it's hard to forget the past when you start having success. I see the expectations we have for one another, and as a whole unit, we set the bar high. The good thing is we come to work, everybody is attentive, taking notes, asking questions. Everybody is a professional athlete. The sky is the limit. I don't know how it's going to happen. With our preparation and working every day in classroom and work room and putting results on the field. I don't really know. We have our own expectations here. As far as a team, we don't want to let each other down and that really shows. Coach Harbaugh always says we want be better tomorrow than we were today. My wide receiver coach, Johnny Mo, he's a hell of a coach, he's enthusiastic and teaches the game the way it should be taught. That makes me feel good as a receiver that he teaches the game the way it should be taught. Hopefully the results you see on the field will be good results, and we'll go from there."
On teammates' praise and why he teaches them:
"When I first came into this league, I didn't really understand everything that goes on with the NFL. Now that I've matured physically and mentally, my philosophy is I do not like what NFL does for me. I want to know what I can do to make NFL better. If that's teaching the young guys and showing guys my professionalism and bringing leadership on and off field, that's what I'll do. If we have that mindset, it'll make it a better league. The league has blessed me and my family, and I'm very fortunate to be in a position I'm in. I like what I can do for the league, not what the league can do for me. Money comes and go. But as far as making better league, we have young players coming in and to teach the game and how to take care of your body and approach things day to day. ... The good thing is they took the 2-a-day practices out. That'll help everybody be fresher in the season."
What is your sense of your level of play:
"I'll let you judge that. Right now I'll try to get better day to day. I don't worry about that. The coaching staff, equipment managers, trainers and guys in the locker room, we love to have fun. Being 35 years of age, I don't really feel 35. If you're asking me if my level of play is going to be up or down, I don't really know. I look forward to seeing what's going to happen, though."
What did the offseason program teach you about your body, if it's rusty or fresh after a year off?
"The work we all put ourselves through, I wasn't only one feeling like that. Coach Harbaugh put our team through a hell of an offseason. We worked this offseason. Nobody was on the sideline. Nobody was taking plays off or days off. We all worked. That's what I like. I do enjoy the game of football. I've been playing since I was 6. The love I have for the game, I just want to be able to let that show, because I do love the game of football. Hopefully we get better each day, to see from the run game to passing game, from the quarterbacks working with receivers and tight ends. It's a work in progress, and I'm up for the challenge."
Did being around from football give you more of an appreciation for it?
"No, because the reason I walked away from the game wasn't really to do with the game. One thing I've learned is people don't like the truth. I'll just wait until my book comes out to see why I walked away from the game for a year. I thank the 49ers organization for bringing me here. Hopefully I'll give them something back in return."
When is your book coming out?
"Probably about 10, 15 years form now."

Planned Parenthood Speaks Out Against the Elimination of Family Planning Funding
Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Thu, 02/10/2011 - 5:08pm
We received the following news from Planned Parenthood this morning:
Yesterday the House Appropriations Committee announced that the Title X family planning program ($317 million) will be eliminated in the House leadership's FY11 Continuing Resolution (CR), which will be considered next week by the full House. This bill is necessary to continue funding the government after March 4 (when the current CR expires) through the end of the fiscal year.
Other critical health programs are also targeted for significant reductions – including the maternal and child health block grant program and community health centers.
In response to these attacks on funding for women's reproductive health services, Planned Parenthood has collected signatures from over 100 organizations that support the continued funding of Title X. Planned Parenthood is asking people to help bring attention to this issue by posting this social media badge to their Facebook and Twitter profiles:

Comptroller Combs Says Flood Victims in Three More North Texas Counties May Postpone Taxes
AUSTIN —Texas Comptroller Susan Combs has added Bosque, Coryell and Denton counties to the list of storm-stricken counties where taxpayers may postpone paying state taxes, if necessary, while they clean up the damage from recent torrential rain and flooding. The list now includes Cooke, Grayson, Tarrant, Lampasas, Bosque, Coryell and Denton counties. Taxpayers may request extensions of up to 90 days to file state tax returns due in June and July.
"These storms brought devastating damage and tragic loss of lives to Texas communities," Combs said. "People are literally picking up the pieces of their lives and, during their hardship, they need time to focus on recovery for their families, homes and businesses. This is one way the state can help."
In addition to extending tax-filing deadlines, Texas law allows the Comptroller to exempt certain recovery-related expenses from sales taxes, including:
- The cost of labor to repair storm-damaged, non-residential property, including office buildings and stores. Labor charges must be separately stated on the repair bill. Texas does not impose sales tax on labor for residential repairs.
- Services used to restore storm-damaged property, including dry cleaning of clothing and draperies; rug and carpet cleaning; and appliance repairs.
For more information or to request a tax filing extension, call the Comptroller's toll-free tax assistance line in Austin at (800) 252-5555.

Emergency Dial 911
Non-emergency (541) 693-6911
Q: What are the regulations pertaining to my Dog?
A: Please visit this website for the most current Deschutes County Codes: www.co.deschutes.or.us/dccode/index.htm
Q: Does Deschutes County have a leash law?
No, however it does have an "At Large" ordinance.
County Code 6.08.15 Defines At Large to mean a dog or other animal found off the premises of the owner or keeper while the dog or animal is not under the complete control of a capable person. This would allow for dogs, which are trained to be off of the leash, however would require them to be under the control of the handler.
Q: What should I do if I am bitten by a dog?
A: Seek medical aid and report it.
Oregon has specific laws and rules which require dog bites be reported. They are primarily in place to prevent the transmission of disease however as a community we also want to hold owners of dangerous dogs accountable.
(Specific Oregon Administrative Rules which cover dog bites are; 333-019-0024 & 333-019-0027.)
Q: What will happen to my dog if it bites a person?
A: Oregon laws state that if a dog punctures the skin of a person that it be quarantined for 10 days. The quarantine will require that it be kept from other animals and people and that if during that 10 day period the dog becomes sick or dies that an immediate report be made to the County Health Department.
If during the investigation it is determined that the dog owner is willing and capable of quarantining his dog then the dog can be left with the owner. If not then the dog can be taken to the Humane Society for the quarantine
Q: What about Dog vs Livestock issues?
A: Deschutes County Code 6.12 covers the dog attacking livestock. Deschutes County will immediately respond and do what we can to protect livestock and impound the attacking animals. With few exceptions dogs involved in chasing or killing livestock will be impounded and if the dog owner requests a hearing then a Board will determine the disposition of the animal.
Q: My neighbor's cows keep coming onto my property and damaging my garden, what does it mean when the deputy said I live in "open range"?
A: Oregon is an open range state and unless you reside in a "livestock district" it is the land owner's responsibility to fence their property to prevent livestock from entering onto it.
A livestock district imposes specific restrictions for livestock at large within its boundaries. This feature class depicts the livestock boundaries within Deschutes County as determined by the Department of Agriculture.
See the map of "livestock districts".
If you have questions about livestock found on your property, or that you have lost, you can contact the Oregon Brand Inspector at the Web site listed below or by calling one of the Inspectors listed below.
Central Oregon
Derald McCall
Q: What should I do if my pet ran away from home?
A: Contact the local Animal Shelter. Contact the Humane Society of Central Oregon if you live in the Bend, Sunriver or LaPine areas and The Humane Society of Redmond if you live in the Sisters, Redmond or Terrebonne areas.

The south already constitutes a large segment of our military.
I think it's great that the south has this consensus that the rest of the country/world thinks they are tough as nails, crazy, ironmen.
Unfortunately, nobody outside the south thinks this way. Nobody is in awe of the south. Nobody is afraid of the south. I like the south. Of course I'm going to poke fun but that's just human nature. We all rib those who are a bit different.
Marksmanship don't matter squat in war time scenarios besides snipers. So southern gun expertise wouldn't really matter much. People indiscriminately shoot in military battles.....just like the guys in Philly and Bridgeport
Good Lord look at our military might and technology..........and we haven't won a war since World War II. You can't win a war by selectively invading a country. Invade it or don't. You can't worry aboot collateral damage. Stop making targets out of our boys, and invade the damn country. No remorse and no selective targets. Anyone wearing a bathrobe is fair game. Women, you bes' get back in the kitchen and out of the armed services.
Oh, it wasn't flat again today, but if you didn't catch the morrow sesh then it really, really really sucked.......a two foot to a smallish three foot, junky, closed-out mess.......well at least where I was.
Flat.............................................. ......................Flat, that's flat

Thread: The ocean is broken.
I agree Bill, had so much damn fun this morning and just got out of the water for a junky, but fun sesh.
I was not expecting it to be so damn good this morning. Amped!
Can't wait to get up at the buttcrack o' dawn and do it again!
Had to bump this thread...wish I could say the same thing now that I wrote ^^ up there.
Got damn, is this the sh!ttiest fall ever, or what?!
Not whining, just sayin'
if you really want to know my true motive...
...it was to bump the trolls down into the forgotten abyss....
I've had about enough of reading about how far Chuckles can get his head up Roy's butthole...
And getting preached to by Wayne, (even though, I do commend his efforts to do something good for the community, but don't necessary agree with pushing religion and telling people how to dress),
if I want to hear the word of God, I'll go to church...for Jesus' sake, it's a god damn surf forum!
Now that I got that off my chest, anybody want to join me in getting amped for some solid nor'easters or perhaps, explain what the f$ck is wrong with this $h!tty azzz year!!
2013...You suck donkey balls, I mean really suck 'em...the top of the 3 rubbing all up on donkey taint.

Rob Barron announced today that he has launched a campaign for an at-large seat on the Des Moines school board.
Barron, who resides in the Beaverdale neighborhood with his wife and young son, currently serves as state director to U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin.
"I want to be a dedicated advocate for what I believe makes for strong schools: richer, more diverse education opportunities; safe and welcoming classrooms; superb teachers who are valued by their district; and a challenging, relevant, and student-centered curriculum," Barron said in a news release. "I am running for school board not with just an eye towards the next four years, but with my sights set on the next 20 years. I am asking Des Moines voters not just for their vote, but for their input on the future of the Des Moines schools."
Rob is active in the League of United Latin American Citizens Council 307, where he currently serves as Sergeant at Arms. During the school year, he volunteers weekly at Monroe Elementary School through the Everybody Wins program, a literacy initiative.
Prior to serving as Harkin's state director, Barron worked for four years as an education policy advisor to the senator in his Washington office. In that capacity, he was responsible for work on education legislation at all levels, from early childhood education to higher education.
Barron, a graduate Roosevelt High School and of Grinnell College, is a fourth-generation Mexican immigrant whose family has roots in Des Moines dating back 90 years.
More information about his campaign can be found at www.robxbarron.com and www.facebook.com/barronforschoolboard.

Ryan Pieraccini, an active duty marine, visited the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Monday, carrying a flag and accompanied by his family and some friends that he has recruited into the USMC. He spent some time before the ceremony reading the stories of veterans on the walls there.
