Featured Facebook Game of the Week – Words With Friends
Zynga has finally brought the crazy popular Scrabble-esque app, Words With Friends, to Facebook! I have been playing this since I got my iPod touch and am completely obsessed by it. It"s incredibly easy to get started, just go to the app, find some friends who play, and start a game. The thing I like best about this adaptation is that you CAN take it with you. Start playing a game on Facebook, and that same game carries over to your iPhone or Droid. It's free (with ads) and truly social, with a chat built in. Enjoy! FollowRead more →
Ridley Scott signs on for Blade Runner sequel
Alcon Entertainment secured the rights to make any Blade Runner prequels or sequels this spring, and now they have signed on Ridley Scott to direct the new film. The storyline has not been set yet, and indeed, no scriptwriter has been hired. However, producer Andrew Kosove has stated that this will not be a remake of the original. "This is arguably the greatest science fiction movie ever made and we're not remaking it," he said. "It's a prequel or a sequel." I would agree that that movie doesn't need to be remade, but I would think the fact that their licensing agreement specifically excludes remaking the original story has something to do with that decision as well. Scott is also revisiting the Alien universe with the upcoming Prometheus, due out next June. I have mixed feelings about all this. Is he revisiting his most popular movie universes because he hasRead more →By Quinn in Movies 1 Comment »
Square Enix reveals first 'Dungeon Siege III' DLC
Square Enix has announced the first downloadable content pack for Dungeon Siege III, titled "Treasures of the Sun." It offers a new plot arc with more quests, enemies and loot.

This new content also allows you to reach level 35, use new attack, defense and healing abilities, reallocate talent and proficiency points, and enchant weapons and armor. The DLC should be available this October for $9.99 on Steam, Xbox LIVE, and the PlayStation Network. FollowRead more →By Tiffany Nevin in News No comments yet
Team Bondi enters administration
Team Bondi, home of the minds behind L.A. Noire, has been placed into administration as of August 30, according to a report from SmartCompany. Apparently, the studio has been unable to survive accusations of poor working conditions, with no publishers signing on to help them with future titles. It has been rumored, but not confirmed, that Team Bondi sold off assets and intellectual property to KKM, a film studio. An additional bad omen — SmartCompany apparently tried to contact the Team Bondi offices, but whoever happened to answer the phone said that the studio "was no longer located there," and that "no person would be available to handle media inquiries going forward." This appears to have snowballed very quickly. Never a good thing to see a company that has managed to make a good thing go out so quickly. FollowRead more →By Tiffany Nevin in News No comments yet
Battlefield 3 Event @ PAX 2011
In the past few weeks, I was recruited by a Top Secret organization led by a very charismatic chief by the code name of "Seeson." When I finished reading the invite, the amount of information I could tell anyone about it was the following… Yeah… nothing much. The wait until PAX seemed to drag on as more details trickled out and the secrecy surrounding it grew bigger and stronger. PAX Prime 2011 was around the corner and I was bursting with excitement as my anticipation for the event grew bigger and bigger. I wanted to tell someone, I wanted to shout, I wanted to inform the world where I was going and speculate about the wonders I was about to see, but the safety of my fellow soldiers rested in my hands in the form of a dense NDA. I would not betray my brothers and sisters in arms! TheRead more →

Introduction to Astronomical Spectroscopyby Immo Appenzeller
Spectroscopy is the principal tool used in astronomy to investigate the Universe beyond Earth's atmosphere. Through the analysis of electromagnetic radiation, spectrographs enable observers to assess the chemical composition, kinematics, and local physical properties of distant stars, nebulae, and galaxies. Thoroughly illustrated and clearly written, this handbook offers a practical and comprehensive guide to the different spectroscopic methods used in all branches of astronomy, at all wavelengths from radio to gamma-ray, and from ground and space-borne instruments. After a historical overview of the field, the central chapters navigate the various types of hardware used in spectroscopy. In-depth descriptions of modern techniques and their benefits and drawbacks help you choose the most promising observation strategy. The handbook finishes by assessing new technologies and future prospects for deep-sky observation. This text is an ideal reference for today's graduate students and active researchers, as well as those designing or operating spectroscopic instruments.

Alma and her son Albert, both dressed in patriotic red, stand over his headstone while surrounded by a sea of American flags. Each flag flutters in the wind, marking the final resting place for Salem County residents that answered their country's call.
"I want to be here and be here with by husband because I loved him," said Alma, 79, Carneys Point.
Her husband, Clement Lawson, wanted to be buried at the cemetery when he died in 2008. He served in the Army during World War II, where he was stationed in the Philippines and Korea.
"He served his country and he was very proud for the two years he was in," said Albert, 59, Carneys Point. "He always talked about it."
Alma hopes that, when she dies, she will be buried besides her husband.
There are 2,500 Salem County residents interred at the cemetery, whether it be a veteran or their spouse, according to Joseph Hannagan, Salem County director of Veterans Services, superintendent of the cemetery and speaker at the event.
"Over a million young men and women served and sacrificed their life to fight for the freedoms that we enjoy today and we have to honor and say thank you once in awhile," Hannagan said. "Memorial Day is that day."
Lining the walkway at the cemetery are 57 memorial flags donated from families of deceased veterans. Each flagpole has a metal tag telling each veteran's story.
Michael L. Shimp, commander of VFW Post 253, served as host for the three Salem County Memorial Day events.
During the ceremony at the cemetery and earlier at the Salem Veterans Memorial Park, VFW Post 253 Men's Auxiliary President Jack Ayres sang a rendition of "Some Gave All."
Eleven-year-old Jacklyne Prater sang the national anthem at the ceremony honoring Naval personnel at the PSEG boat ramp on Sinnickson Landing Road in Elsinboro.
"Today we pay tribute to those brave men and women, who left the safety of their sovereign soil and stepped forward to meet the great challenges of their time in our nation's history — and in so doing, paid the ultimate price for their love of country and devotion to the ideals for which is stands," said Major George "Buddy" May, guest speaker at the Salem Veterans Memorial Park ceremony.
May is a lifelong resident of Salem County and served in the Army Reserve for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
He is currently assigned at the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics at the Pentagon.
During his speech, May spoke of America's heroes.
"We pause to consider what could have been had fate spared them and had they lived out their remaining days at home and at peace," he said.
"We stand here today resolute in our pledge as countrymen and women that we will never forget the sons and daughters of our nation who have fallen and those who are still missing."
As he spoke at Veterans Memorial Park, wreaths made by surrounding veterans organizations decorate the space. VFW Post 253, Salem City American Legion, American Legion Post 444 AND 297, Marine Corps League, St. Mary's Armed Forces, Alloway Township Veterans Association, the Fraternal Order of Eagles 1966 and each organization's auxiliary constructed the wreaths.
"This is something you have to keep going, you have got to keep doing," said Master Sergeant Dwight A. Thompson, 41, of the New Jersey Air National Guard.
"This is an important thing to do every year and a lot of the guys that are holding the stuff together, the VFW members and the American Legion members, are getting up there in age so we've got to keep it going."
Thompson served on the firing squad at all three events, with his father Andrew Thompson, 72, acting as sergeant at arms.
"This is one of the great things I get to do," Thompson said. "I get to pay tribute to the guys before, including my father, and I get to spend time with my father and do this every year."
Thompson's sons, Andrew, 8, and Logan, 4, collect the spent cartridges found on the ground after the firing squad is finished.
It fills the master sergeant with pride to be able to involve his father and his sons in celebrating Memorial Day.
"This is very important to do this every year," Thompson said. "This is what sets us apart from other countries, where every life is important and you pay tribute to every life given up in defense of our country."

Guest Voice of Luke Anderson: Why I moved back to Erie
'Don't Give Up the Ship." We see flags emblazoned with these words flying proudly throughout our Flagship City. Yet, few of us pause to ponder their meaning.
In the Battle of Lake Erie, the Lawrence was in a bad way; the ship was pounded by the British and its guns were rendered useless. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, seeing the certain surrender of the Lawrence, took that now iconic blue flag and rowed to the Niagara.
The British waited for the Niagara to lead the U.S. into retreat. But the winds literally changed. The lion-hearted commodore steered the Niagara straight at the British and broke through their lines. The U.S. recaptured the Lawrence and won a decisive victory.
Two hundred years later, Erie remains a city utterly defined by the motto on Perry's flag. As a community, we always seem to find a way to persevere.
I grew up in Erie, but have spent the last nine years living outside of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. After our son was born, my wife (also an Erie native) and I decided we needed to raise him in Erie. We moved back here about two weeks ago.
Upon our arrival, we were bombarded with news of the GE Transportation and Millcreek Township School District fiascos. We heard candidates wail about managing the decline of the region. We read about shootings.
But none of these dire news stories made us question Erie, because Erie is not defined by them. Erie is defined by a community.
You see, since we moved back, my wife and I have noticed other things about Erie. We noticed how people will race ahead to open doors for mothers struggling with their 1-year-olds. We noticed how older women take no issue with "booping" toddlers' noses just to make them smile. We noticed every "please" and every "thank you." We even noticed the unique creaminess of a Sara's chocolate cone on a warm, breezy day.
Put simply, my wife and I have noticed a lot of things about Erie that we used to take for granted. We see neighbors who help one another without thinking twice. We see kids playing outside in every neighborhood. Now, we see Erie as so much more than sponge candy or pepperoni balls (though we like those, too). When we look around Erie, we see a true community in every sense of the word.
In fact, it's this community that made our decision to move back here such an easy one. People really do care about one another. We are all neighbors. That's why GE's announcement is such a big deal. It's why we all feel betrayed by the Millcreek schools. It's why we're tired of politicians pointing fingers.
This community rises and falls together. We want our neighbors to keep their jobs. We want our kids to receive the best education possible. We want our politicians to lead. No one can relocate a community like this one to Texas. It's here. It's all around us. And it's not going anywhere.
At times, things may look tough for Erie. But we're just not the type of community to give up. We are defined by a blue-collar work ethic and an undeniable ability to persevere.
I have no idea what will happen with GE Transportation. I don't know how long the Millcreek district will take to get back on track. But I do know that the Erie community will not give up. It's just not in us. The people in Erie will find a way to pull each other up; to help one another. The winds will change.
So when the rest of the world waits for our retreat, our "decline," look to that iconic blue flag: Don't give up the ship, Erie. Not now. Not ever.
LUKE ANDERSON recently left a large law firm in Cincinnati to work as an attorney for National Fuel Gas. He lives in Millcreek Township with his wife, Kari, and their 13-month-old son, Carter.

Stopped By A Tiny Switch
Yesterday I went to theRustonlibrary and took the laptop to work there. I was in one of the study rooms and could not get the laptop to connect to the wireless internet. Thoroughly disgusted, I went home and it would not connect at home either. Kept getting an error message telling me there was no wireless near but the laptop was about two feet from the wireless router. Being an optimist, I went back up to the library today and still could not get connected to the internet. Two of the IT guys working at the library tried for quire a while and they could not get it to connect either. One of the guys had his laptop in the room and it connected so there was wireless available. He told me that it must be something in my computer. I called Brian for help but he could not come tonight but he did tell me to ask Scott if there was something that I needed to click on or whatever. I sent an email to Scott telling him my sad tale of woe and he sent back a one sentence email. "You did make sure to check the switch on the front of the computer." To say that I felt like an absolute idiot is putting it mildly. There is a very small switch on the front of the laptop just right of the center and in putting the laptop into my tote bag it managed to get turned to the off position. You better believe that will be the first thing I check anytime I cannot get connected to wireless.

I guess they've really got two options to persuade men(*) to actually watch this: either give Brin and Page rocket packs and have them blow the hell out some aliens, or somehow get Scarlett Johansson in it wearing a catsuit. Heck, or both.

Man cleared in Harborcreek crime
An Erie man has been acquitted of charges that he committed a home-invasion robbery in 2011.
Russell Henderson, 28, was accused of entering a Harborcreek Township home in the 600 block of Irvine Drive on Aug. 29, 2011, assaulting a 17-year-old boy, threatening the teen with a gun and stealing $1,500.
Police made the arrest in May 2012 after they said Henderson's DNA matched saliva found outside the teen's bedroom window. Before the robbery, the teen had heard noises outside his window.
However, when the case went to trial Wednesday in Erie County Court, Erie County President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr. granted the defense's motion for a judgment of acquittal after the prosecution presented its case. DiSantis said evidence of Henderson's possible presence at a crime scene was not enough to have a jury weigh the charges. Henderson's lawyer, Gene Placidi, said no evidence but the saliva tied his client to the incident.
"We respect the judge's decision," Assistant District Attorney Nathaniel Strasser said.
Henderson had faced charges of burglary, robbery, theft, possession of a weapon, simple assault and criminal mischief.

Great topic Beth Anne,
Property Management is definately relational in terms of you are always going to be dealing with people every day in every arena.From tenants, to tradespeople, to contractors, to inspectors, to accountants and lawyers.
Navigating the relational aspect will be what you make of it, you have to decide upfront how you wish to treat these people? what sort of power do you wish to exert on them? From experience and from on-going learning i've discovered its the referent power that would grant you success in managing these relationship. Yes you may have legitmate or expert power but those won't sustain or nurture the relationship on the long haul.
Seek first to understand, than to be understood. You have to value people !
Just my thoughts

NEW YORK - The NFL may suspend the Pro Bowl next year, two people familiar with discussions said Thursday.
League commissioner Roger Goodell, among others, expressed concerns about the quality of play after January's all-star game at Aloha Stadium, and the NFL has been holding talks with the players' union about the future of the contest.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were not being publicized.
In response to an ESPN report that Goodell is "strongly considering" suspending the game in 2013, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said: "No determination has been made yet."
Each year, many players chosen for the game bow out, and if the Pro Bowl is held before the Super Bowl, players from the conference champions don't participate.
Though television viewership dropped 8.1 percent in January, the Pro Bowl was the highest-rated sports program of that weekend. Still, the game isn't considered a money maker - one factor is cost, particularly when played in Hawaii.
NFL Players Association president Domonique Foxworth tweeted Thursday: "The Pro Bowl is an important tradition we are in talks with the league to improve and preserve the game for our players and fans."
Aloha Stadium hosted the game from 1980 until 2010, when it was moved to Miami and played the week before the Super Bowl. The NFL said a more modern stadium was needed in Hawaii, but the Pro Bowl returned to Honolulu in 2011.
"We understand that the suspension of the Pro Bowl is a possibility," Hawaii Tourism Authority CEO Mike McCartney said in a statement. "However, we are still in discussions with the NFL about the possibility of holding the event here in the Hawaiian Islands. We feel the Pro Bowl and Hawaii are a perfect fit and believe that holding the Pro Bowl in the Hawaiian Islands would be a good thing for our visitor industry and the state."

Really? Mind posting the list or at least soe of the games off it?
So I ran across the IGN.UK release list for the Wii. I live in the US. Wow, talk about some seemingly cool games coming out OUTSIDE the US region!! I'm going to be really annoyed if they don't make it to the US.
I'm sure there's some specific to the US, but comparing the lists, I couldn't find any.

Really? Mind posting the list or at least soe of the games off it?
[Zero Motivation, The Guy With Cloud Envy]
true some cool games are coming to the uk first (hopefully) but then again Americans already have a lot of the games out that we are still wiating for
for example:
dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 2, here its just been released
rep me or else i will eat your shoes
Shigeru Miyamoto is my god
Get it it's really fun
Spoiler Alert!Metric: Tiger, you're posts always make me laugh. Then they make me feel a bit sorry for you. =\
The_Next_Tiger: Thanks man I love to make people laughSpoiler Alert!SAVE A COW EAT A VEGETARIANSpoiler Alert!Blackjack: video games come out on tuesdays, Though they do make exceptions.
Spoiler Alert!Sarai_132: who fuking cares! calm downSpoiler Alert!Chicagoan: I have Pokemon Rangers game, and I beated it.Spoiler Alert!JoonKimDDS: Sometimes wiimote requires too much muscle work to perform a move.Spoiler Alert!Mushroomedmario: the moral is only trust wikipedia...for everything
yep i have got it and what i have played of it it is really good
rep me or else i will eat your shoes
Shigeru Miyamoto is my god
For some games its ok (like Wii Play) but games like DBZ should all be released at the same time, and online games should also come out in Japan, UK and US at the same time.

I'm hoping there arent any major regional differences between titles. In the past on consoles like the Super Nintendo they had major problems with regional games, for issues like the aspect ratios of the PAL and NTSC TVs, along with framerate issues - NTSC regions ran at 60hz, while PAL regions ran at 50hz, which resulted in significantly slower gameplay for direct play conversions to PAL.
Apparently it was really noticable on Super Mario Kart... Whether this is affected by a converter or not is something I don't know, although I'd like to hope a converter corrects this framerate issue...

Photograph, portrait of Ellen Terry
Frederick Hollyer (1837-1933)
Platinum print
Given by Eleanor M. Hollyer, 1938
This photograph shows the actress Ellen Terry (1847-1928), one of the most celebrated and loved actress of her day. She was a famous devotee and advocate of aesthetic dress.
Aesthetic dress was popular in the 1880s and 1890s, particularly amongst artistic and literary circles. Those who supported it repudiated tight corsetry and cumbersome petticoats in favour of looser, less restrictive clothes. In this photograph, Ellen Terry is not wearing a bustle even though exaggerated bustle pads were worn for most of the 1880s.

Waiting For The Cruise: I was waiting for the cruise for less than a year. The day was finally there and I could not believe it. Nervousness and excitement took me over as I was finally ready to step foot on the Breakaway itself.
My Cabin:
I had a balcony room that I was sharing with two other guests. The room was very small and compacted, but it served its purpose. The dresser drawers opened and closed as the waves became choppy. I would advise you to bring along duct tape to close the drawers temporarily. Be careful when stepping into the bathroom, there is a slight step that is easy to trip over. In addition, the balcony was very small. You would be lucky to fit three people on the balcony at once. My favorite part about the cabin? The towel animals! Haha
The Dining:
The buffets offered lots of food choices and the food was delectable. The buffets were easy to access if you just wanted to grab a quick snack before hopping off the ship. La Cucina was the only specialty restauraunt that I went to over the course of my cruise.The food was not very good and I would never go there again. If I were you, I would just stick to the free and delicious buffets. The specialty resauraunts are not worth there money.
The Aqua Park:
The water slides were well worth the wait. Although the lines got long during the day, they were so fun! The pool was enjoyable, but it was just your typical pool, nothing special about it. The hot tubs were relaxable, but very squished when too many people came in at once.
The Sports Complex:
The ropes course was one of the most fun parts of the ship. The plank was just a tourist trap. You stand in a harness and get your picture taken. It is yet another way for the Breakaway to make money off of us suckers. The mini golf was fun, but fast and the zip line was very fun.
The Casinos:
Of course, a way to waste your money. There were lots of slot machines and that was pretty much it. Just your typical Atlantic City money waster.
Jungle Fantasy was the best. There were swinging, flying, rolling, and jumping acrobats. What could be better than that? I had paid for the VIP seating, but it was not worth it. If anything, regular seating was better. Burn The Floor was exciting and fun. The show was enjoyable , but continuous dancing did get boring after awhile. Rock of Ages was definitely rated PG-13. There was some foul language and racy clothing that children should not be watching. The show is better for adults or older teenagers. Overall, the show pretty good. But make sure you come early!
Beautiful and tropical! This was my first time visiting an island. It was just as good as I wanted it to be, but better. There were a few good daytime excursions. Hartley's Helmet Dive, Caves and Aquariums, Bermuda Triangle Evening Cruise, and Day at The Beach (at Snorkel Park beach). Make sure to visit the shops and local meuseums. On Wednesdays Bermuda always has a festival in the small town of Hamilton, definitely worth going to. I was so sad to leave the beautiful island of Bermuda.
Reserve a lounge chair early in the morning. Place a towel on the chair.
Bring duct tape to seal dresser drawers.
Bring conditioner if needed. There is not any conditioner in the bathrooms.
Book shore excursions before cruising. It is much easier!
Stay out of your cabin and have fun! Go swimming or join the kids program. Participate in the onboard activities and meet new friends.
Enjoy the Breakaway. It really is a wonderful ship.
Bon Voyage!

Dave's Classy Remarks
Talk about being in a class of one's own, David Letterman doesn't really joke about everything. On Wednesday, before Al Gore's politics and media students at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York, the "Late Show" host, 53, fielded questions that included why Dave never cracked wise in his monologues about Darryl Strawberry or O.J. Simpson -- unlike, say, another late-night show host, it might be noted. In the case of the former Yankee slugger, Letterman explained, as quoted by The New York Times, "If he shows up dead next to the I-95, we're gonna feel stupid." As for the former gridiron great, "At the core of this was a double homicide, a grisly double homicide." As for appearing in such a distinguished setting (in the interest of full disclosure, the editor of the PEOPLE.com Daily also teaches at the Columbia Journalism School), Letterman said, "When we were coming up here I said to friends, 'I'm very nervous about this.' They said, 'Don't worry, Al will do all the talking anyway.' I'm glad to see that's worked out."

This afternoon, Rupert had the honour of running with the 2012 Olympic torch as the flame makes its way closer to the Olympic Stadium and Friday's Opening Ceremony.
Rupert spoke to BBC News about the "overwhelming" experience, and said that he hopes to remember it for ever. You can watch the video here.
RG.net's Lauren battled the sticky heat of an English summer to watch Rupert - in his ever-faithful Chucks - run with the torch from its afternoon start-point of Middlesex University. Judging by the amount of people calling his name, Rupert, rather than the torch, was the biggest draw for the crowds.

The Edge of Love
The Edge of Love is like a soap opera without the glamour. Set during World War 2, it takes place in that lethargic heyday where men beat their woman because of post traumatic stress disorder, and women slept with the town veterinarian because their husbands were in Europe fighting Hitler.
The story begins with Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley) singing on stage while London is being bombed to hell by the Germans. I admit it was a surprise hearing her sing, an emotion soon eclipsed by the fact that she sounded like Betty Boop or Marilyn Monroe when she sang happy birthday Mr. President to JFK. It was about this time my eyes started to sag, like someone had stuffed cotton wool into my head.
The plot essentially comes down to pretty people swapping sexual tension and lusty glowers. Honestly, I would have gotten more satisfaction watching a bargain bin porn flick, and that includes intellecual satisfaction. It certainly would have been less depressing.
Pretty Vera is in love with pudgy poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) unfortunately he is married to saucy Caitlin MacNamara (Sienna Miller). Pretty Vera ends up marrying strapping William Killick (Cillian Murphy). Pudgy Dylan loves both saucy Caitlin and pretty Vera. Strapping Killick goes off to war and experiences horrors that include people dying, limbs being cut off and wide-eyed terror. They all sleep with each other and their lives are miserable because of it. Everything turns out alright in the end though, because Vera stays with wife beater Killick and Caitlin stays with cheating husband Dylan.
If you can stay awake long enough to make sense of all that you deserve an accolade handed to you by the Welsh government. The first half of the movie limps by in a haze of convoluted dialogue that I attribute to Dylan Thomas' poetry. "How the ducks fly past the posies weighed down by the graying morning ramble," or similar kinds of senseless shit. Throw the braying Welsh accent into the mix and all you're left with is half the cast of people bleating like naked sheep and the other half Waaa Waaa Waaaing like Charlie Brown's faceless parents.
The Edge of Love may sound like a sex fest on the surface, but it's about as erotic as your grandmother's foot. Close up shots of hands are the most interesting bits you'll see and dodgy faded split screens where there are two Keira Knightley faces kissing instead of one. Sorry, but there's only one anatomical part I'd like to see two of in a movie like this, and it's definitely not anything above the neck.
And this film just reeks of filth. Constant Grime on the streets, dirty babies and sweaty hair had me panting for a shower as soon as it was done, which was not near soon enough. It would not end. I could've taken a pilgrimage to Wales, slept with everyone, fought in the bloody war myself and come back, and that damn movie would still be spouting nonsense.
I have gained three things from watching this film, the first is a deep prejudice against Dylan Thomas' poetry, the second a hatred for Welsh people because of how they used to live in the early nineties, and third a blood clot near my cerebellum inflicted upon my person by the cross eyed love scenes, ridiculous dialogue and bland storyline. Don't go see The Edge of Love. There is such a thing as too much drama, and in today's choppy world of trouble and pandemonium, who the hell wants to remember the problems of yesterday? Take the cash for the movie ticket and treat yourself to something less painful, like a nice bikini wax or a stimulating root canal.

Time for a Dylan Thomas poem
And Death Shall Have No Dominion
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

Objective: To determine if particular components of antiretroviral drug regimens are associated with greater insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and peripheral lipoatrophy.
Methods: Metabolic and body composition variables were measured prospectively over 64 weeks in 334 antiretroviral-naive, HIV-infected subjects who were randomized to receive nelfinavir, efavirenz, or both, combined with zidovudine/lamivudine or didanosine/stavudine in a factorial design, multicenter trial. Subjects assigned to efavirenz (n = 110) were compared with those assigned to nelfinavir (n = 99); subjects assigned to zidovudine/lamivudine (n = 154) were compared with those assigned to didanosine/stavudine (n = 180). A subset of 157 subjects had serial dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans.
Results: Lipid measures increased in all groups. Greater increases in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol occurred with efavirenz than with nelfinavir. Greater increases in total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol occurred with stavudine and didanosine than with zidovudine/lamivudine. There were no differences in insulin resistance in the comparisons. After initial increases in the first 16 weeks, median limb fat decreased. Greater changes in percentage changes in limb fat occurred with didanosine/stavudine (−16.8%) than with zidovudine/lamivudine (+4.0%; P < 0.001 for overall change from baseline) and with nelfinavir (−13.1%) compared with efavirenz (+1.8%; P = 0.003).
Conclusions: Over 64 weeks, all regimens were associated with increases in lipids but insulin resistance did not differ between groups. Regimens containing didanosine/stavudine and regimens containing nelfinavir were associated with greater loss of limb fat.

Being Together, Thousands of Miles Apart: 11 Poignant Family Portraits Taken with the Magic of SkypeMeredith Carroll
Technology can do a lot of things, but it can't physically put you in the same room as someone thousands of miles away on a moment's notice.
However, one artist figured out a way to emotionally put families in the same room and make it appear as if they're present in the same space and at the same time.
New York-based photographer John Clang used a webcam to capture live recordings of his family in Singapore, which were then transmitted via Skype to him in Manhattan, where he projected them onto his living space.
"This is how families, dis(membered) through time and space, can be re(membered) and made whole again through the use of a third space, a site that is able to reassemble them together within the photographic space that we call a family portrait," Clang said.
The complete "Being Together" series of 40 portraits will be on display at the National Museum of Singapore in 2013. Here's a look at 11 of them:
Wong Family, New York 1 of 11"Drawing upon my own experiences of being separated from my family as a New York-based Singaporean," Clang writes, "this work documents and examines our condition of new-wave diaspora - Singaporean families of various races and ethnicities grappling with the same predicament of separation through time and space."
Being Together (Family) 2 of 11"In these images," Clang said in The Atlantic, "I am marking the time for these families, enabling them to remember these strange moments of togetherness with the technology presently available. The picture doesn't stop here, it lingers on in their memory. It embraces the intimacy and closeness of a family, no matter how far apart they are."
Tye Family, Paris 3 of 11"This is also an extension of one of the recurring theme of my works," said Clang. "The fascination with the expressions of time and space and how we negotiate our human existences within these two dimensions."
Being Together (Mum) 4 of 11"This work specifically addresses the phenomenon of differing time zones, the different dimensions of our human representations, and how we can finally coexist, albeit in pixilated and two-dimensional forms."
Leong Family, Hong Kong 5 of 11"When I first moved to New York, I had to limit my calls to my parents as overseas calls were very expensive. Every time I call, I [would] time it and make a note, just in case the phone company bills me for more than what I've used. Now I just pick up the phone and call whenever I want to, as though they are in the same city as me," Clang said in The Atlantic.
Being Together (Joe) 6 of 11"The process moved me very much and I had the idea to extend it to other families," Clang said of documenting his time together with his parents through communication technology, and then offering the same portraits to other families.
Lim Family, Westport 7 of 11"During the shooting," he said, "most of [the families] were having fun interacting with each other through Skype. They were a bit puzzled how the image was going to be done.
Being Together (Parents) 8 of 11"But once they start seeing the resulting image, most of them start to see the deep impact of such a session. There's a very deep longing in their sentiments. You can sense that they miss each other very much, and yet it's something we have to accept in the current fast-paced society," he said
Krishnan Family, Yokohama 9 of 11A side note to come out of the project: Clang said he saw some of the older family members who participated in the project experience "a little tinge of sadness to have [only been introduced to this technology] at their late stage of life."
Being Together (Dad) 10 of 11Alternatively, Clang thinks he might be the sad one: "To be able to witness all these technology progress and wondering what the future looks like, which they may not be able to participate brings a tinge of sadness to me. I think maybe I'm the one sensing the sadness."
Goh Family, Bellevue 11 of 11The complete "Being Together" series of 40 portraits will be on display at the National Museum of Singapore in 2013.

Happy anniversary!
A year ago this week we gave you your first photo assignment and since then you have sent us more than 1,000 photos of what it's like to live in the Lowcountry.
We thank you for sharing your photos with us and hope you've had as much fun taking the photos as we have had looking at them.
This week's assignment, 'Shady Spots', resulted in a 'cool' variety of photos from the beach, Magnolia Gardens and elsewhere.
Our editors chose Susan Klavohn Bryant's photo from Botany Bay beach on Edisto Island to run in Friday's People section. Make sure you pick up a copy to read what they liked most about it.
We hope you're feeling patriotic for the next two weeks' assignments.
This week: Red, white or blue. Got a great Independence Day or World Cup celebration pic, or just feeling proud of your country? Send it along. The assignment after that will be Lowcountry fireworks. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
The rules:
- Send just one (1) photograph to email@example.com by noon on Tuesday, July 1. Include your name, town and where the photo was taken. If you send us multiple photos we will select one randomly.
- We will allow photographs with reasonable watermarks to run in the gallery but for the winning photo that runs in the newspaper we must have a photo that does not have a watermark. If you want to send us one with the watermark (to run online) and one without (to possibly run in the newspaper) please feel free.
