The Moonstone
by Wilkie Collins
The Moonstone First Period, Chapter 4 Summary
- Betteredge is still napping in his chair out on the patio at lunchtime when Nancy, one of the housemaids, comes out to complain that Rosanna, another servant girl, is late for lunch. AGAIN.
- And Nancy doesn't want to have to go find her.
- Betteredge feels sorry for Rosanna, and doesn't want Nancy to give her a hard time, so he volunteers to go find Rosanna himself.
- He knows where she's probably gone – Rosanna is a strange, quiet girl, and ever since she came to the house as a servant, she's kept mostly to herself.
- Rosanna has a deformed shoulder and isn't very pretty. What's more, she used to be a thief.
- The other servants don't know that, but Betteredge and Lady Verinder do. They believe that Rosanna has reformed and they wanted to give her a chance.
- Betteredge knows that Rosanna likes to go for walks down to the ocean to watch the change of the tide over the quicksand, which local folks call the "Shivering Sand."
- Betteredge doesn't like watching the quicksand – he thinks it's creepy, but Rosanna likes it.
- And sure enough, when he hobbles down to the shore on his cane, he finds Rosanna there, sitting and watching the sand, looking sad.
- She tells him that she can't stop thinking about her past life, and it depresses her.
- Betteredge wants her to be more cheerful, and he doesn't think that watching the creepy quicksand is helping matters, so he tells her that she should go back to the house and have lunch.
- Just then, Franklin Blake walks up!
- He's several hours early, so Rachel and Lady Verinder still aren't back from their drive.
- Betteredge hasn't seen him since Franklin was a boy, so he doesn't recognize him at first.
- The two shake hands and say hello.
- Franklin always liked Betteredge, his aunt's trusty old servant, and is glad to see him again.
- Rosanna, meanwhile, blushes a deep red and then hurries away to the house without saying anything, which is kind of rude of her.
- Betteredge and Franklin don't really think too much about it, though.

Which new toys do kids like the most this holiday season? News 12's toy test has the answers. We'll show you what the older kids age 5-12 chose as the best of the bunch. 12 On Your Side has the results of our toy test.
What kid doesn't like playing dress up? And the after-school students at Little World of Learning especially enjoyed this Star Dressing Room. And it worked great with the accessories from another toy they tried, the Princess Dress-Up Game.
"They just love it, we only let so many go in, they don't want to come out when we tell them," said Charlesetta Newman, instructor.
Another Dora toy, Dora Candyland was one of the favorite board games.
AcceleRacers and the Acceledrome track can keep kids entertained for hours, although it takes some time to figure out how to set it up. This toy actually makes candy, so of course it was a sweet success with our testers.
"The candymaking they love - because it's candy," said Judy Divine, instructor.
And if you think that toy looked messy, this is another to lay the newspaper down underneath, but it is fun, the Lite Brite Flash Art painter.
The Challenge 20-Q game was a fascinating toy for any age. Just think of something, anything, the toy has 20 questions to try and guess it. Usually it does. And the kids tested plenty of electronic games they liked this interactive baseball.
This Coleco video game pack comes with 12 games included and plugs right into the TV. It's a lot simpler than a Playstation or X-box but it's definitely appropriate for all ages.
And on the low tech and traditional side, the Barbie's, this year with the Prince and Pegasus, are still favorites

ABC may revamp, renew 'Scrubs'
ABC is reportedly in talks to renew the long-running comedy "Scrubs," though the show's new form may have only a slight resemblance to the show a small number of viewers know and love.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC is going over a budget for the show's possible ninth season with production company ABC Studios.
While series creator Bill Lawrence is reportedly in on the talks, the absence of deals for any members of the main cast may cause at least minor complications.
Several of the show's familiar faces may become recurring characters, with Donald Faison, Neil Flynn and John C. McGinley all starring in other pilots and Zach Braff unlikely to return as a regular. In an unusual twist, the pilots for Faison, Flynn and McGinley are actually in first position, a sign that renewal for "Scrubs" was, at the time, considered unlikely.
Presumably the new show's focus would be on a new crop of interns, presumably fresh faces to let ABC keep costs low.
Lawrence may also have split attentions next season, as he puts the finishing touches on his ABC pilot "Cougar Town," a comedy starring Courteney Cox.
Ratings for "Scrubs" this season have been relatively dismal, but the trade story says that a possible renewal for the medical comedy could also be good news for the freshman comedy "Better Off Ted," which hasn't attracted the size audience that normally mandates renewal.
The "Scrubs" finale, currently only a season finale, will air on May 6.

Travel + Leisure "A List" 10 Consecutive Years
Virgin Galactic Accredited Space Agent
Jim Brandenburg
Minnesota photographer Jim Brandenburg has worked as a photographer with National Geographic magazine for over 25 years resulting in 19 magazine stories, several television features and over 19 books. His National Geographic feature North Woods Journal was, according to Editor William Allen, "the most photographs the magazine has ever published in one feature in its entire history and by the way, using the least amount of film." The bestseller Chased by the Light elaborated on Brandenburg's experiences during the 90 days. Brandenburg has just finished a sequel to Chased by the Light titled Looking for the Summer. A sample of his Looking for the Summer project was featured in the June, 2003 issue of National Geographic magazine and was the first completely digital story featured in the magazine's history.
Brandenburg's photographs have won a multitude of prestigious national and international awards. He was twice named Magazine Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographer's Association (NPPA) as well as Kodak Wildlife Photographer of the Year by the Natural History Museum in London and BBC Wildlife magazine. Brandenburg was a Hasselblad Master in 2002 and a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens in 2001.
Brandenburg was the recipient of the World Achievement Award from the United Nations Environmental Programme in Stockholm, Sweden. The award was presented to Brandenburg by Sweden's King Gustaf in recognition of his "using nature photography to raise public awareness for the environment."
Brandenburg has done assignment work and has been published in numerous national and international publications including The New York Times, Life, Time, Audubon, Smithsonian, Natural History, Geo, Modern Maturity, BBC Wildlife, National Wildlife, Photo Insider, Photo District News and Outside. Most recently, Brandenburg's images were included in National Geographic magazine's Collector's Edition Series, Best 100 Images, Best of America and Best of Wildlife.
Brandenburg has published many bestsellers including Chased by the Light, Brother Wolf, White Wolf and Minnesota Images of Home. He has also published four young adult books: To the Top of the World, Scruffy, An American Safari and Sand and Fog.
Brandenburg was commissioned by the United States Postal Service to photograph and design a set of ten wildlife stamps, which were released on May 14, 1981. These stamps were included in the exhibit Graphic Design in America, which toured the United States and England.
Brandenburg's work has been featured on all major television networks including ABC's Prime Time Live, CBS's Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt and NBC's Dateline as well as National Public Radio's All Things Considered.
Brandenburg was Producer, Director and Cinematographer of a National Geographic / BBC documentary titled White Wolf that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
Brandenburg and his wife Judy live in the boreal forest of northern Minnesota on the edge of a 1,000,000-acre wilderness area. His work can be seen at the Brandenburg Gallery in Ely, Minnesota and Luverne, Minnesota or on his web site.

WASHINGTON, DC— Congressman Earl Blumenauer will join Congressman Peter DeFazio and Congresswoman Darlene Hooley in hosting a forum to hear about people's experience with the new Medicare Part D prescription drug program, and discuss resources to help seniors and the disabled learn about and enroll in the program. The event will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 27 at the Hollywood Senior Center at 1820 NE 40th Ave. in Portland..
Since enrollment in the new Medicare Part D program began on November 23, 2005 there have been endless reports about seniors, the disabled and their families having difficulty using the program's website, gathering information about the drug plans and deciding which plan works best for them.
While all three Members of Congress voted against the complicated and
expensive Medicare Modernization Act, and share seniors' frustrations that the
program is confusing and for many doesn't provide adequate relief from the high
cost of prescription drugs, they have worked with Oregon groups to develop
resources to help seniors find their way through the new Medicare Part D
prescription drug program.
Blumenauer, DeFazio and Hooley will listen to the experiences people have had with the program to date, and encourage people to submit letters sharing their personal experiences with the Medicare Part D program which they will make part of the congressional record on the program. The three members will be holding similar forums earlier in the day in Salem and Eugene.
WHO: Congressman Earl Blumenauer
Congressman Peter DeFazio
Congresswoman Darlene Hooley
WHAT: Listen to experiences of people with the new Medicare Part D prescription drug program
WHEN: 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Monday, March 27
WHERE: Hollywood Senior Center
1820 NE 40th Ave.

'MMR £1m threshold for high net-worth too high'
- Mortgage market sluggish: FSA data
- Industry backs latest MMR proposals
- FSA attempts "common sense" approach to mortgages
More on Mortgage Data
Responding to CP11-31, the FSA's latest mortgage market review paper, Hugh Wade-Jones said he welcomed the regulator's proposals for a more tailored and alternative approach for high net-worth borrowers.
In its submission to the FSA consultation, Mr Wade-Jones said Enness was "fully supportive of the approach which places high net-worth borrowers outside the normal rules and regime".
However, Mr Wade-Jones said there still needed to be some guidelines in place to make customers more "comfortable". He also said the FSA's proposed £1m annual income threshold to define high net-worth was too high.
In addition, he said individuals who work in certain financial sectors and hold specific qualifications, such as an ACA qualification, may also be exempt from the rules as they will have financial knowledge to make an informed decision.
Mr Wade-Jones said: "There are a few areas where we believe greater clarity is needed. In particular around what constitutes the definition of a high net-worth borrower.
"We believe £1m annual income is too high. Plus the employed tend to be heavily bonus-led which increasingly includes stock and other incentive schemes. It needs to be made clear whether this would be included as income."
Craig Taggart, head of mortgages for London-based IFA Baigrie Davies, said: "I do agree the £1m figure to define high net-worth is probably a little too high, but a line needs to be drawn. This part of the MMR is mainly geared towards private banks, which probably do more responsible lending than anyone else."

Dating Tips for When He Gets Awkward
Not only are they safe, but wearing a condom makes your guy less sensitive and able to last longer.
Have him focus on your pleasure first—oral, fingered stimulation, a vibrator— to take the pressure off his penis during sex.
7 Signs He's Not Ready to Commit
Cavanah suggests using a ring that slides onto his manhood. It keeps blood in the penis longer and can give him more control.
Work on slowing down his response together. Practice moving him up to the point of no return just before climax with oral sex or a hand-job, then slow down or stop the action. Let him coast back down, then start again.
Consult a doctor first, but Dr. Kaufman recommends spritzing a desensitizing spray like Promescent on your guy's manhood—it will dull the nerves on the skin's surface and keep things exciting longer.
"Sexy play doesn't always have to lead to orgasm," Claire says. Take the pressure off sex by fooling around and stopping before it leads to intercourse. Just enjoy each other's bodies.
Make your whole sexual experience last longer by engaging all of your senses. Start with a nice make-out session. Massage each other with warm oil. Find his sweet spots that aren't in the groin area and give them some love.
If you're going to talk about this subject, do it outside of the bedroom, not in the heat of the moment. "It's easy to feel very vulnerable when you're naked in bed and feelings can get hurt," Claire advises. Instead, bring it up when you're both relaxed and comfortable.
If all else fails, Dr. Kaufman suggests consulting a doctor about erectile drugs like Viagra. They won't combat premature ejaculation directly, but they can shorten the plateau period between erections. So if it normally takes your guy an hour to go again, he could be ready for again more quickly.

The drama was only beginning when the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials ended Sunday night.
Somewhere behind closed doors, the women's selection committee huddled while a sold-out crowd at HP Pavilion waited nervously to find out what four young women would join all-around champion Gabby Douglas at the London Games.
After an excruciating 10 minutes, Douglas led Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney -- all five teenagers with tears streaking down their faces -- back out on the floor, newly crowned Olympians as red, white and blue confetti filled the air.
But those also were tears of sadness because they knew supremely talented gymnasts who had shined in San Jose didn't make the five-member squad. The crying game had begun when women's national team coordinator Martha Karolyi announced the team.
"She started tearing up and then everyone else got emotional," Raisman said. "None of us had ever seen her break down like that, and you could see how difficult it was to choose this team. She just felt so bad that she could only name five of us."
For instance, Maroney might be the reigning world vault champion, but she was no lock to make the team when she finished seventh at the trials after returning from a concussion. But Maroney was picked instead of equally worthy Elizabeth Price and Sarah Finnegan, who are alternates along with Anna Li.
"This is the five that I expected," Karolyi said. "I had in my mind maybe two months ago this group. But that doesn't mean choosing them was easy."
The reality is the women's and men's teams heading to London are loaded and expected to bring home a medal haul. The women are the defending world champions. The men finished third at last year's worlds, but are stronger now with rising stars Danell Leyva and John Orozco.
But just to get to the Olympics, the chosen 10 had to survive the white-hot cauldron of the San Jose trials.
"This forges steel," said Jonathan Horton, who was named to the men's team earlier in the day. "It puts that ice in your veins. You learn how to deal with the nerves. The more you experience success under pressure, the more you believe that you can win. Now let's go get a gold medal."
Think of putting together an Olympic squad as a complicated jigsaw puzzle. For the selection committees, it was all about making the pieces fit together.
In London, three U.S. gymnasts will compete on each apparatus in the team competitions. So the committees had to weigh every athlete's strengths and weaknesses in the larger picture of making sure the teams will be strong in each event.
The men's selection committee filled out its team with two-time 2008 Olympic medalist Horton, Jake Dalton and Sam Mikulak. They join Leyva and Orozco, who had earned automatic berths by finishing one-two in the qualifying process.
While Karolyi knew what team she wanted, the men's selection process really boiled down to math. Armed with computer programs, the committee crunched spreadsheets of numbers that are more complicated because the men compete in six events compared to just four for the women.
That Moneyball approach spit out what men's national team coordinator Kevin Mazeika believes is a winning team.
"At the end of the day, it's all about the empirical data," Mazeika said. "We looked at every possible scenario in building this team. We feel this is a well-balanced group that cannot only win a medal, but the gold medal." Mikulak was chosen even though the Orange County native competed in just the pommel horse Saturday because of a badly sprained left ankle. Both Mikulak and Dalton make the U.S. stronger in the vault and floor exercise, and that's probably why they were selected over Chris Brooks -- who was an alternate with Steven Legendre and Alex Naddour.
"It's hard even for those of us who make it because we looked around the room and there are guys who belong on this team but aren't," Horton said. "Five spots just aren't enough."
The tears after the women's competition proved the same thing on their team. But when she heard her name called, Maroney sought out Ross, a best friend since age 7.
"I told her, we did it!" said the 16-year-old Maroney. "Dreams really do come true!" They did for 10 gymnasts. Now, London is calling.

Last weekend I cooked dinner for a big group of friends.
It was actually a wedding gift for the lovely Aggie and Geoff who tied the knot back in November.
For some reason I got it in my head that I wanted to serve a souffle for dessert. I guess I was after something decadent and celebrational, yet light.
To cut a long story short, I decided to follow a recipe from one of my favourite Melbourne restaurants, Cumulus Inc.
It took a good two hours to get everything ready. And the results were pretty dismal.
As we sat down to eat them, I was kicking myself for not sticking to my 'tried and true' simple souffle recipe.
Next time, you know what I'll be making…
Super Simple Berry Souffles
serves 3
1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil
4 egg whites
1/3 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup – 1/2cup berry jam
semi whipped cream, to serve.
1. Preheat your oven to 200C (400F). Grease 3 x 1 cup ramekins or teacups with the butter or oil and place to one side.
2. In a clean dry bowl place the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Whisk using your muscles or a stand mixer until the mixture looks like soft marshmallow. Gradually whisk in the sugar a little at a time until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
3. Fold through 1/3C jam then taste. Adding more jam if you think it needs a more sweetness and/or colour. Divide mixture between the prepared dishes then use a knife to level them off. You'll have some left over.
4. Prepare your guests for dessert. Bake souffles for 8 minutes then reduce the heat and bake for another 5 minutes until souffles are risen and lightly golden on top.
Serve immediately with cream passed separately.

Where's Fred Reid?
I missed this. Fred Reid, former CEO for Virgin America during its formation and startup, is now president of Bombardiar Aircraft Services.
[CORRECTED: Fred writes in to say he is not president of Bombardier Aircraft Services, but as president of Flexjet. I took his title from the Bombardier Web site.)
I met Fred back in 1997 when he was Lufthansa's president. Before that, he had worked for Pan American World Airways and American Airlines. The next time I talked to him, he was president of Delta Air Lines.
He left Delta in 2004 to head up the new Virgin America. The U.S. Department of Transportation wouldn't approve Virgin America's certificate of appropriateness until Mr. Reid agreed to step down, with the DOT and VA's competitors saying he was too closely tied to Sir Richard Branson.
As president of the Bombardier unit, he'll be president of Richardson-based Flexjet, a fractional jet company, and Skyjet U.S., a company that offers cards with prepurchased amounts of private-jet flying.

Hey All,
I need to ask a question, have everything set up, pc running the server, streaming out, using shoutcast and winamp, I hit an average of 6300 seconds and the stream stops..I can restart it and it works fine.
I've tested it on an PC and it doesn't happen, so I am guessing it's not an issue with PMS or shoutcast....
So is anybody really clued up on the PS3, as to why it might do this...
I plan on using this streaming setup for bbq's in the future, so I don't want to be walking inside the house every hour and a half or so to restart the stream.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

What is a Thrive Hub?
A Thrive Hub is a creative space for diverse young people to build community & connections, to learn & grow together, and to take action on collaborative projects & initiatives as they bring forth a thriving, just, sustainable world.

Imagine diverse organizations and movements working together toward a shared vision. And imagine campuses and communities, tapping into collective wisdom and taking action to become models of the world we wish to see.
Thrive Hubs offer a simple and powerful model for making this vision a reality.
Essential Elements of a Thrive Hub
A Thrive Hub has three circles of activity: Community, Learning, and Action. Each has three key aspects:
1. Leadership
2. Relationships
3. Culture
4. Education
5. Dialogue
6. Training
7. Service
8. Campaigns
9. Entrepreneurship

CARUTHERSVILLE - Federal and local officials uncovered a cache of explosives and guns at a rural Caruthersville residence Thursday.
Pemiscot County Sheriff Tommy Greenwell reported officers from his department along with agents from the Division of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Bootheel Drug Task Force served a warrant Thursday morning at a residence on County Highway 553 in the Cottonwood Point area. The warrant was the result of an on-going investigation by federal and county authorities.
During the search investigators found approximately 36 military artillery simulators (explosives), one pipe bomb, illegal fireworks, approximately 18 weapons ranging from shotguns and rifles to handguns along with about 3,800 rounds of assorted ammunition.
Other items located inside the residence included aluminum powder, smokeless powder and potassium perchlorate, Greenwell said. "These items are used in manufacturing powerful explosives that could cause serious damage to life and property, and even death," the sheriff added.
Although no one was taken into custody at the scene, Greenwell indicated the identity of the person responsible is known and federal charges are expected to be filed.

Call 471-6636
This message is for anyone who is looking for a housekeeper or a caregiver. Please give me an opportunity to define each. A housekeeper will come into your home and clean any and everything in the time it takes for anywhere from $13 to $28 an hour. This includes offices. Most housekeepers are hired by the job, say $35 a house or office. But it only takes them one or one and a half hours to clean. You figure it up. On the other hand, a caregiver is not a housekeeper. There is about a $5 to $20 difference. A caregiver takes care of people. There is a minimal amount of cleaning such as dish washing, cooking and bed making. This is required because it is part of the patient's personal care. I defined the two because I am a very good caregiver. I love my patients. I just recently started a new job and this little lady, like so many others, had the wrong idea of what she's supposed to be getting for $8 an hour. She has a 3,000-square-foot home that had been neglected horribly when I started working for her. The other lady who works for the patient and I have worked our butts off just so she can have a healthier environment to live in. There is nothing wrong with this lady that a good swift kick in the pants would not take care of. She's 80 years old and the only thing wrong with her is that she feels sorry for herself and has one pity party after another. I know I sound awful, but don't judge me until you've spent a week with this person. She thinks the help she hired should be scrubbing baseboards, cleaning kitchen cabinets and scouring her oven, all the time, whether they need it or not. She can walk but she refuses to, so we have to push and pull on her 150-pound frame in a wheelchair, only because she feels like she's paying for it. I've never left a patient and I know not too many people would put up with what this patient dishes out. Has anyone ever been in this kind of situation before? The other caregiver and I are at our wit's end. We do sympathize with her but she really is bordering on employee abuse. I need an experienced caregiver to please reply. We're desperate!
I have heard many remarks over the last several years about the school my child attends, Scott County Central. I have two who have graduated and one who is in high school and I will tell you that I am more than proud to call that school ours. It is a top-notch school with teachers who care and I have always seen a smiling face of someone to help me or others. The positive attitude is awesome. So my hat is off to Scott County Central. Keep up the good work.
To prove there are angels among us, this evening I called a barbecue place for help for food for a cancer patient, who is in the fourth stage of this disease. The young man is 37 years old and is dying, unless God undertakes. His family is coming from Indiana to visit this person. As I picked up the food from this restaurant, a face of an angel asked no questions. She just helped a man and his family in need. It goes to show you angels are among people here on Earth. Thanks, Dexter Barbecue, and may God bless you for your help in time of need.

A Week After Fire, 3 Bodies Found in Bronx Building
By Tamer El-Ghobashy and Sarah Armaghan
A demolition crew discovered three dead bodies inside a burned out Bronx building on Monday, a week after a fire tore through the abandoned home, officials said.
The building, at 61 Buchanan Place, was a "known squatter house," and officials are now investigating how the victims had not been discovered since a fire engulfed the structure on Sept. 9, a law enforcement official said. According to the official, fire investigators said firefighters were not allowed into the building after the blaze was extinguished because it had seemed structurally unsound.
The official said the bodies were burned beyond recognition and had not yet been identified, and the gender of the victims was not yet known. One person was found in a second-floor bedroom, and two were found in a bathroom on the same floor when demolition workers began work on Monday.
A spokesman for the New York City Fire Department said the fire was first reported at about 4 a.m. in the three and a half story building and was placed under control at about 7:30 a.m. The spokesman said the cause of the fire and why the bodies were not discovered immediately remain under investigation.
The law enforcement official said a video obtained by investigators shortly before the fire shows four men entering the location and one of them later leaving. About an hour later, the building can be seen on fire in the video footage, the official said.
Construction worker Jesse Julius, 65 years old, said he showed up at the charred Buchanan Place home in University Heights around 9 a.m. Monday.
He walked into the second floor of the building and when he turned left, saw the first body lying on the floor.
"I looked down on the floor and there was somebody — really burned," Mr. Julius said. "I went back down and got my coworkers. We went up again and found two more. It was really a mess up there."
Mr. Julius, who lives in the neighborhood and is employed by A. Russo construction based in Lawrence, L.I., said the bodies were burned beyond recognition.
"It was kind of scary, you know?," Mr. Julius said. "You never think you'd see something like that when you show up for work."
Area residents said the two-story home was used by squatters since it became abandoned three years ago. Neighbors said two nearby parks, the Aqueduct Walk and Jardin de las Rosas, had recently been under construction so the homeless had to look for alternate shelter.
Mr. Julius said he found one body in the bathroom and two in what seemed like a living room, he said.
According to records from the New York City Department of Buildings, an order to vacate the building was issued after the fire because its stability was compromised.

Summary: TUI AG Nov 11
- November 2011
- Standard & Poors
The ratings on German tour operator TUI AG reflect Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' view of its highly leveraged financial risk profile, significant debt maturities over the next 12 to 18 months compared with its capacity to generate cash, and its large minority position in its 35% owned (56% voting control) and fully consolidated key subsidiary TUI Travel PLC. The ratings also reflect our view of TUI's weak business risk profile, owing to the seasonality and cyclicality of tourism, which faces ongoing margin pressures, threats to discretionary consumer spending in some markets, and high event risks. TUI's market-leading position in European tourism and geographically well diversified sales only partly offset these weaknesses, in our view. TUI now consolidates its 38%...

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean, and nasty place an' no matter how tough you think you are, it'll always beat you if you let it. It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! If you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.
Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preéstablishcd harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give hint no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.

By Mr. Tony Lopez (First Army)February 19, 2013
ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, ILL. -- Preparing food, cleaning the commander's quarters for visitors and planning a social for a group of distinguished guests can be a daunting task.
However, Sgt. 1st Class Sophia Bulham enjoys the opportunity to provide one-of-a-kind service and apply her organizational and culinary skills as the senior enlisted aide for Lt. Gen. Mick Bednarek, First Army's commanding general.
An enlisted aide assists a general officer with accomplishing their primary military and official duties. Aides are graduates of the Advanced Culinary Skills Training Course and the Enlisted Aide Training Course. It is a unique and challenging opportunity to serve with general officers.
There are approximately 300 enlisted aides who work for general officers in the United States Army. Bulham is the first senior enlisted aide to serve for First Army at the Rock Island Arsenal.
An enlisted aide cooks and assists in planning the visits of national, local and foreign government officials. Other tasks can include administrative duties, housekeeping, assisting in property and grounds maintenance at the officer's quarters, laundry and uniform care, and supporting the general officer with any task needed to perform his official duties. "General officers are just like us but they have busy lives and I'm here to assist them so they can do what they need to do," said Bulham.
Bulham's parents instilled the philosophy of working hard at whatever you do when she was growing up in Michigan. She believes that trait has served her well in the military. She enlisted in the Army in 1993 and completed basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C. Bulham did a tour in Iraq and then was assigned to duty at the United States Pacific Command in Hawaii where she started her career working in a dining facility.
While in Hawaii Bulham was encouraged by a fellow Soldier to apply for a flight steward and cook position. After she was selected for the position, she served meals to senior leaders on flights when they traveled. Later, she completed the advanced culinary course and then obtained her skill level four food service certification as she progressed through her Army career to the rank of sergeant first class. The skill level four food service certification provides Bulham the skills to supervise, prepare, cook or serve food in the field or at a garrison food service operation environment.
Bulham served three general officers while stationed in Hawaii and then went on to an assignment at Fort Drum, N.Y., where she supervised and led five cooks. During that assignment, she completed the enlisted aide course at Fort Lee, Va. The enlisted aide course provided Bulham the skills to professionally present food during official functions. "I learned a lot about what Army cooks go through, following the mission and working long hours," said Bulham.
First Army Command Sgt. Maj. Jesse L. Andrews Jr. contacted the Army's human resources office to re-establish the enlisted aide position at Rock Island. Bulham's experience and qualities immediately made her stand out in comparison with the other candidates.
In September of 2011 Bulham was given the opportunity to interview with Bednarek and his spouse Holly. She came to the Rock Island Arsenal hoping that First Army's three-star commander would want her as his enlisted aide. "I was very honest in my interview and I knew that working in someone's house requires trust," said Bulham.
"The initial rapport and connection during the interview process was definitely there," said Andrews. After her interview with the Bednareks and the First Army team, Bulham was offered the job and started her duties in November of 2011.
"We selected Sophia because of her core values, infectious attitude and positive personality," said Bednarek. "It's all about people with our external engagements and she has that effervescent personality that grows on everyone who comes in contact with her."
Bulham also understands that it is important to have a good relationship with her commander and his wife. "That's a big part of it and you're in their house and that's their personal space," she said. "We have a great relationship and it works well because I know what needs to happen. There's a lot of trust that comes into place and it's like having another family."
Bednarek agreed, "It was also personally important for me knowing that Sgt. 1st Class Bulham would be spending more time with my spouse than myself, that they have that strong personal relationship. Those fundamental relationships and bonds that you forge help us every day."
Each day can be different as an enlisted aide. Keeping track of the general's schedule and his wife's schedule is important for planning. Some days will require preparing healthy meals for the general when his wife is gone. Other days may require performing housekeeping duties, researching recipes, picking up commander's laundry from the dry cleaners, ordering platters and preparing menus for an upcoming social event. In many cases, Bulham also works with the First Army protocol office to coordinate how many guests are invited to an event and follow the military regulations on what can be appropriately served to a particular audience.
"The enlisted aide position has become a very important position," said Bednarek. "She is definitely responsible for our success here as First Army hosts social events." After every engagement, which may be a social, a conference, a lunch or a dinner, the commander and the enlisted aide will adjust and refine the menus to make improvements for the next event.
The role of the senior enlisted aide has contributed "immensely," said Andrews, to the mission of First Army. "She is very motivated and passionate about doing her job. All of those things that could be a distraction to Bednarek, she takes away. She takes care of his uniform and helps him prepare to travel."
"Bulham also has excellent people skills and is not afraid to interact with anyone, which is important because of the high level of people she deals with," Andrews added. "It would definitely be more challenging for the commanding general without a quality enlisted aide. She allows him to focus on his duties and not worry about those small things. She takes those things off his plate."
Bulham has enjoyed her opportunity to work with the general and his wife and assist at their home on the Rock Island Arsenal. Every day and every event provides a different challenge. "Organizational skills are the biggest part of my job," she said. "I believe in myself, I challenge myself to be creative and the general sets me up for success. I have become completely dedicated to him and I really enjoy my job here at First Army."
The mission of First Army is to advise, assist and train Reserve Component Soldiers during pre-mobilization periods. First Army conducts mobilization, training support, readiness validation and deployment of alerted forces.
Additionally, First Army executes demobilization of Reserve Component forces when units return from overseas in accordance with Department of the Army standards. Reserve Soldiers are provided medical and family services during the demobilization process to ensure a smooth transition as they return to their families and hometowns.

Room For Improvement
For the next model in this series I would like to see the three hat switches arranged in the following way.
The one on the left should be left as is since it is perfect for the thumb; the one in the middle should be transferred to the centre of the "Mouse Button One" position to be in constant contact with the tip of your index finger. The third hat switch should be positioned in the centre of "Mouse Button Two's" position so that it is in constant contact with your middle finger, thus allowing both fingers and your thumb to be comfortable while manipulating the controls.
Additional features for the software should be an automatic download function whereby future game profiles can be downloaded from the net along with software updates too. It will also be a valuable tool for the company to track how many people are using the mouse for games. Similarly, profiles should be available for AutoCAD, MicroStation, 3D StudioMax and Google Earth for the same reason. Although the drivers are already integrated in the Sandio Software, there is always room for improvement, so an "update driver" option would also be a welcome touch.

Reviews for German Chocolate Cake
"I followed the recipe, with the exception that I took the cakes out after 20 minutes and I added another half batch to the frosting. Everything worked perfectly, and I was frosting the cake within half an hour of making the frosting itself. I had no issues with it setting up. I had no issues at all. Thanks for the great recipe! I wish I could add a picture. My cake looks divine!"
"It would be nice if you could add pictures of each step so we know if we're doing it right. For example, people have different opinions on what exactly is golden-brown. Thanks :)"
"I've made this cake many times. My mother made it for many people who requested her baking expertise. She used Crisco instead of butter and so do I. When I used butter it wass a much heavier cake. birthday request for 2 sons and husband ... ever y year."
"What a disaster!!!! Cake stuck to pan sides. Cake sank in the middle. Looks awful. Decided to go ahead and make the frosting. Thirty minutes of stirring the mixture and being burned with splattering liquid, the mixture is not golden brown. Tossed in the nuts and coconut anyway and now it is cooling.. I am an experienced baker. I let everything warm to room temperature and followed the directions. Don't know what I possibly did wrong. Obviously something because most of you gave this cake 5*'s. Good luck. By the way I baked the cake for 30 minutes also. It wasn't done in 24 to 28 minutes.Finished cake looks so sad. Can't even slice it. Just crumbles into crumbs."
"What a disaster! I followed the directions exactly and all three layers fell in the middle and when I removed them from the pans the cake fell to pieces. The frosting is way too sweet. What an expensive and time consuming mess."
"I've made this a number of times now, and it is delicious. It gets devoured when I bring it to get togethers and it is now my most-requested bake. It tastes so good that I'm ok with that."
"This sounds as delicious as the reviews seem to imply. I will have to try it, as I enjoy baking. I also enjoy reading reviews. But, honestly people, stop it already with the correction of the name. No one is asking for a history lesson. We all just want to know your thoughts on the PREP and TASTE of the cake recipe itself, as it is written . And there is no need for reviewing something if you're going to stated "I added/subbed this or that". Because then your review goes away from the recipe in question to being a subjective review of YOUR OWN recipe."
"Obviously this is a good variation on the Baker's German Chocolate bar recipe - but please know that the cake has absolutely nothing to do with Germany or people from Germany. A man named John German refined the type of sweet chocolate that bears his name. The cake is an American creation, although I am sure people from all cultures love it as much as we do. I am surprised that the editors at TOH did not pick up on this."
"This cake was delicious! Time comsuming but well worth all the effort! I made it for a friends birthday and everyone loved it. I'll be making this again for sure!"
"A lot of steps to this recipe... My husband did not care for the cake flavor/consistency at all, but I could definitely just eat the frosting. Not sure I would make again."

Aeon Timeline
Traditional timeline applications provide a one-dimensional perspective of events in time. Their primary purpose is to display data, not to capture, explore and create ideas. They are presentational, attractive, well-suited to overhead slides and projectors. They suit after-the-fact recording, not spontaneous creation.
Aeon Timeline is different. Aeon Timeline grew from a conversation amongst writers about the timeline tool they want to see: a timeline that is more than a list of dates and events; a tool that captures the changes caused by an event, not just the event itself; a tool that displays not just the plot points for the story they tell, but the world of causality behind the narrative; a tool that could describe many lives in a connected universe. Foremost, they want a tool designed for them, not a tool they must wrestle to their command.
Aeon Timeline aims to meet this need.

1 Opinion
The app is the first of its kind that i know of. I see it as a direct help in fiction-writing, that goes beyond the simple "time-check" functions, as Points of View and Places are also displayed.
Use it at the plotting stage and you see possibilities (and impossibilities) that wouldn't have struck you. Especially great for crime fiction and fantasy authors, IMO.
Also, i didn't test the integration with Scrivener but i guess it is a big plus for some users.

Scientists isolate blood stem cellsJun 2
Blood stem cells are responsible for the production of blood in our bodies and are crucial for treating patients suffering from diseases related to blood cancer. Although some patients already benefit from stem cell transplants, not all patients survive, for example because of the limited availability of matching blood stem cell donors. Therefore, many researchers around the world are exploring ways of generating blood stem cells in the laboratory, which to this date remains a significant challenge.

Signalling molecule Wnt biases the earliest fate choices of pluripotent cellsMar 6
During early development, cells in the embryo are able to form all specialised cell types, but because each cell happens to exist in a particular area of the embryo, these so-called pluripotent cells don't form all cell types, but only the ones typical of the position they find themselves in.

Why stem cells need to stick with their friendsNov 7
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh and University of Copenhagen have identified a core set of functionally relevant factors which regulates embryonic stem cells' ability for self-renewal. A key aspect is the protein Oct4 and how it makes stem cells stick together. The identification of these factors will be an important tool in devising better and safer ways of making specialised cells for future regenerative cell therapies for treatment of diseases like diabetes and Parkinson's disease.

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.

There's a veritable feast of information regarding the situations with Testors, thanks to Tom Meier and his blog, The World According to Tom.
In this entry, Tom discusses his history with Testors and a number of problems that happened along the way. Ultimately, Testors's unfamiliarity with the market they were entering and the particular demands and expectations related to the products seem to have been quite problematic. Most recently, Tom has sent the miniatures for the skirmishing wargame on to another company, Valiant Enterprises, Ltd., who will be casting them with the intent of preparing the way for the wargame to finally see the light of day. Tom adds a little more detail in a follow-up post, and includes a real treat: a picture and detail of the as-yet-incomplete 54mm Loras Tyrell figure he's sculpted and a generic Night's Watch figure for the wargame.
In comments to one of the posts, a representative of Miniature Wargaming.com posted about the fact that he saw a demonstration of the wargame at the Origins convention in July of 2006, and even had a couple of pictures from the demonstration on his site. These can be found here, titled Testors Westeros Game 01 and 02. You can clearly see a giant (in the first post, Steve Saunders—another noted sculptor—points out that he appears to have sculpted that particular figure, or at least some sort of giant figure, before he decided to end his involvement with Testors) and several wildlings charging at at least one member of the Night's Watch in the pictures.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

What makes a "great" fighter?
Guys like Andre Ward etc
What is it that separates them from the rest?
Is it just genetics, are they "born with it"?
Is it the training they get?
What is it?

To me what makes a great fighter is a guy who takes on all comers & fights 2-3 times a year. Is active .
One who takes risks with his career

I think consistent training from a very young age makes a big difference, chances are you're going to be good at something if you've done it your whole life.
You can't train some of the intangibles however such as heart, discipline and punch resistance.
So imo, it's a combination of long-term training and a certain level of natural ability.

The greatest thing about a human being is that we cannot answer a question like this the same way we can answer a question like, "what makes a great Gorilla?" A great gorilla is the strongest meanest smartest animal....Period there is no room for a gorilla that may be smarter but is not strong, because that gorilla won't be breeding, etc etc etc.
With human beings we have variety....what is the best diet? well Eskimos eat nothing but putrid whale blubber and can live to a 100 while other people eat vegetables like seaweed and can live to be 100....my point being that such is the way of fighters.
Fighters like Chavez senior, rumered to have an extra thick skull and Jones, who athletically could do things reflexively that most people cannot even conceive of were great....But then we get guys like marciano and Floyd....neither guy me thinks was so incredible athletically...but both guys have (had) capabilities based on training. Marciano was relentless and Floyd is technically perfect, with punches that are straight as an arrow and technique that never makes a mistake.
Then we get guys like Gatti who could entertain us and make the common man believe we could all climb in the ring with enough piss vinegar and bluster....
At the end of the day history makes the truly great fighters great imo. Exchange Karl Froch with Joe Calzighe and Froch (fighting the same comp) would have been called great while Ward would have Pwned Calzighe in a day as Hopkins did..... Take Ali In a weak division and we might never have seen what he was capable of, put a Klitschko in during Ali's time who knows what their legacy would be? would big George destroy them or vice versa?
Joe Louis was great because he was a slow methodical patient man who happened to be a murderous puncher but so was Maxie Bear! But one guy became a symbol of America during the war...the other practically a near do well who never lived up to his potential.....History is the final arbitrator indeed. We will always love the athletes though...the Jones, Ali, whitakers of the boxing world because we can look at their feats as singular and practically super human.

talent then connections....it's easier for american fighters to make it big than eveyone else becuase all of the big promoters and boxing VIPS are in the US ....
you wont make it big , unless you make it in the states and american fighters have the luxury of having the the attention of the american audience .....foreign fighter have to go through hell to get it...

Slow, steady but determined.
Welcome dj gj - you sound like a lot of us on here - used to be runners some of us still there and some getting back to it! There tends to be more gossip on here than running talk sometimes but we like it that way!
We do have a wealth of experience though going back years!! Not all of it useful mind you
Thanksgiving here tomorrow so we are heading to a resort and spa for a few days
You ok after your fall Diana?
Have a good time TS
Good luck Tracey
I've had a blog published on the net again for Womb Cancer Support UK I've done a fair bit of 'navel gazing' this week and decided to put it down on 'paper'.
Link to the blog please Roobs.
It was so windy here yesterday that I had the fright of my life. Was sitting working away at the computer in "Roobs Room" which is north facing and so was sheltered from the wind. All of a sudden a gust got up and blew the window as wide as it would go. Thought it was going to come off its hinges.
Had to go to the dentist yesterday (another battle with the wind!). Two bliddy fillings - £100 for the two!!!! We do have a sort of dental insurance in that our dentist is private and the insurance means that we only pay NHS rates for anything that we have done and all our check-ups are free, What really rubs it in is that he's so busy I my appointments are not until January! He must be raking it in
I didn't hurt myself at all when I fell, Roobs - just knelt in the soft mud and got very dirty! It's quite a long time since I last fell, and this was a bit different, as my feet just slipped from under me, rather than me tripping over something (or nothing, as I seemed to do on a long run with TS!)
Luckily we got an NHS dentist Lyndy, and they seem very good. Treatments involving fillings are about £22 I think. It does look as though I may need one of my teeth crowned next year, and that will be a painful £200, but it will be a nice colour matched porcelain(?) or whatever is the current preferred material. Not the thing I'd most want to save up for though
Fingers are crossed for you Tracey - when do you hear?
Welcome dj gj
Ouch Lyndy and yes, was rather windy!
ok, here is the blog that was put on the Womb Cancer Support UK website the other day - this came about after a lot of thinking about things (which is always a bit dangerous where I am concerned lol)
Roobs, you write some very good stuff , from the heart. Proud to call you a friend x
Mawning this grey and dull Mawnday
Thanks TS - I just write it as I see/feel it x
Not that good T Had a pain all day that I am a little worried about Hospital on Thursday so will mention it then. Hoping to be ok for club tomorrow night. Do you want me to pick you up again?
Thanks again to Tracey - 3.41m done in 39:53 20 mins out and 20 back so a negative split by 7 seconds lol

Trevor Johnson contacted us in response to the article
Today I was amazed to see an article in the Sale & Altrincham Messenger about font drawings being found in a cabinet at the old Linotype factory. I was employed at Linotype & Machinery from 1963 to 1974 as an apprentice and spent several years in the Type Drawing Office, then on the top floor of what was the 1947 new building.
Happy memories of a time spent learning about typefaces and the production of printed matter. I remember the "new type face" Helvetica being produced in the late 60's under the watchful eye of chief design draughtsman Walter Tracey from the London Office. We were also involved in producing typefaces for the Arabic speaking countries of Africa and the Near Eastern Countries.
Thank you so much for contacting us and adding to the history.

First of all, I have very little familiarity with mySQL. The question I'm asking could be totally out to lunch. Please be gentle!
I'm using the Montezuma theme. The accent color throughout the theme is blue, and it's annoying to have to wade through every CSS file to change it. I figure there must be a way to change all the code at once. No?
I recently discovered the REPLACE query in mySQL. I used it to change links. Does it not follow that you could somehow use this same query to change one color code to another, throughout the whole theme? I would like to change all text with the color code #0090d3 to #0a6127.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!

Purpose: To restore 3,870 acres of emergent marsh on T.M. Goodwin WMA through improvement of 2 miles of existing internal levees, installation of 10 water control structures, and construction of 2 permanent pumping stations. Management of impoundments would emphasize production of emergent plants that are important waterfowl foods, such as wild millet and smartweed. Regulation of water levels would be the principle tool used to manage plant communities. Habitat restoration on T.M. Goodwin WMA will provide excellent wintering food and cover for numerous duck species including ring-necked ducks, blue-winged teal, wigeon, mottled ducks and pintail. This project is managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to maintain high quality wetland habitat for wintering and resident waterfowl, while providing public hunting opportunities.
Location: Approx. 7 miles northwest of Fellsmere, FL (Brevard County)
