Bose headphones with a portable space over the latest effort to break with the overheads and style. Bose headphones to hear a little IEMs have the same expectations (in ear monitor), the rest of the ear canal. Deep in a very strong complaint bass.Our only much better sound quality, as the sliding fully IEMs not what I wanted to really make that noise can be external eardrum, and printing without any kind, and I just plastic sleeve, will be lost. Undoubtedly, they are probably the most bass in the market for this type of headphones is now heavy. We are absolutely in the power and bass, Bose's strength and ear headphones, but you can not get a good seal and stamp IEMs canal.Generally ears did not comply, even when dumfounded to add music to them is very thin in Florida high iron and bass and sound. However, Bose is the problem. , Google is pushed further into the channel, an artificial way to create a seal to be precise, powerful bass, but to test long notes, according to registration in accordance with the crack of thunder storms, not least.
What they do not quite adequately with the seal of the ear canal, Bose headphones are very comfortable, without a suction effect, you often feel a profound IEMs. We found they were great, even for very long listening sessions. They are small bud comes with a clear rubber hoses, which nestles on the tip and is in close proximity to the entrance to the ear canal. Three different sleeve sizes are available, so that the ear of different forms are being met, and they are very easy to insert and remove. Our only complaint, and admit it's quite a big problem, sleeves were very easy to lose. Within days of testing we could lose two separate sleeves, despite the fact that very careful, and because you get only one out of every size in the box you will find yourself quickly burning through them. Lack of proper sealing also means that external noise is relatively easy to enter and this may disturb some.We not noticed her enormous problems, but they note that despite the title containing the words "listening", these headphones Don should have any real Noise Canceling properties above what you would expect from a pair of regular earbuds.The other funky case of Bose headphones is their design. After the typical style of Bose excellent, sleek design, black headphones authorities with a clear plastic tip looks great and should satisfy those after both pairs of headphones and fashion item.

You look gorgeous! There are 20 and 30- somethings that would love to have sexy legs like yours. Nice gams, indeed! I just read your success story so also, wow! It sounds so trite but I hope you take it to heart that you are inspiring.
Looking awesome, PB! Have fun with your August Challenge.
I'm kind of challenging myself with LHT this month - I had a personal training session yesterday to kick my butt a bit (well, as it turns out, my quads - ouch!), and to check that my form on the weights floor is doing me good and not harm. I really enjoyed it, despite the fact that my trainer is young enough to be my son (ack), and am thinking of booking some more sessions for a few weeks at least, to shake things up a bit and keep me motivated.
Next task: getting back into weekly sprinting! Maybe one day I'll have legs that I can confidently flash around in the BirdCage too.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

You look gorgeous! There are 20 and 30- somethings that would love to have sexy legs like yours. Nice gams, indeed! I just read your success story so also, wow! It sounds so trite but I hope you take it to heart that you are inspiring.
My legs were "reminding" me on the way downstairs about the sprints I did yesterday.
Whooo weee, that's some pic. Looking GREAT, PB!
Maybe someday I'll willingly have my pic taken, let alone post it.
I peeked in the other day... I just haven't had the gusto to participate yet. Head's not great lately.
I got my gumption up enough to post about a dozen studies in Chaco's thread earlier and he nitpicked one quote I used to summarize a review of 15 articles and ignored the actual studies posted.
His assessment that only protein and CICO matters is a bit left field for me.
He equated fat = sugar... they are both only fuels and therefor equal.
And I get all... "Wait, what?!"
Just doesn't compute.
Of course... the fact that he recommends that everyone do exactly what he is doing is pretty par for the course.
I've seen him use that logic too many times.
After that I'm not sure if I'm up for anymore than light quips the remainder of the day. *mush between the ears*
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
And that's why I'm here eating HFLC Primal/Paleo.
Hey PB you are looking great! Have you ever done the Murph workout?
Just finished my first Murph in 35:23 - whew! Named after Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a member of the Navy SEALs from Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. Lieutenant Murphy, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, was an avid CrossFitter known to do the workout every Wednesday while wearing body armor. Its composed of a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 squats followed by a 1 mile run.
The secret is to break up the workout into segments and try not to go in oxygen debt (stay below your anaerobic threshold). I feel I can take some time out of this first attempt with a bit of practice and conditioning. Give it a try, its a great challenge and a way to measure your fitness.
His thinking hasn't finished evolving yet. Or, to put it another way, he has some growing up to do.
That sounds like one hell of a workout. I could do the running and squats parts but I can do a grand total of 1 push up and 0 pull ups. Those are my weakest areas due to breast cancer surgery scar tissue, rearranged muscles , etc. But I am working on those areas using the LHT exercises. Speaking of which, unglue rear from chair and go do them, self.

A chilling story of deadly desire and cold murder from the New York Times best-selling author of Exit Wounds.
A pretty, popular teenager never returned from her secret tryst in Skeleton Canyon. Perhaps it was a youthful rage or savage passion that ripped the life from a child of privilege and abandoned her broken body to the cold Arizona night. Or maybe she stumbled onto something terrible, something too dangerous to know. Now dark secrets about a future hideously destroyed are pulling Sheriff Joanna Brady of Cochise County into a lethal nest of lies and greed hidden in a desolate corner of the Southwestern desert—where the next blood that feeds the parched earth could be her own.
©1997 J.A. Jance (P)2010 HarperCollins Publishers
"Pronounce places right!"
I live in southern Arizona so I love JA Jance books. Living in Cochise County, the locations, weather and people are right.
Since the places in the book are real, they should be pronounced correctly. Several times, CJ Critt mangled HUACHUCA....it is WA-CHU-CA. Not once was it even close! Fingernails on a blackboard! Please...if you don't know, find out before you murder a major part of the realism.
I read some of the reviews prior to purchasing and was worried about all the negative comments regarding the new narrator. I thought C J Critt did a great job! She did an especially good job with the underlying humor in the story. I look forward to the next book in the series!
Say something about yourself!
"Terrible narration"
I suffered through but this narration is not worth it. She makes the story seem trivial and unrealistic.
"Dreadful Narration"
While I would recommend reading the book for those following the series, I would not recommend listening to this audio version. It is obvious that the narrator attempted to make the recording interesting, but the attempt was an abject failure. The dismal narration definitely distracted from the story.
Character development was not a strength of this book, but I appreciated what Jance did with the David O'Brien character.
Susan Ericksen
"Take back everything I said about the narrator"
Book 4 was not enjoyable - CJ Critt's narration just killed it. But book 5 shows that she's a master of voices. She completely changed the cadence and the voice of Joanna and the presentation of the story. It was quite wonderful to listen to and to realize how much control she has in her storytelling to do this! However, I see a review of book 6 that complains about her choice for the daughter's voice and that Joanna's voice changes also. So sometimes she misses the mark.
Meanwhile, the first 3 books had such marvelous plots and although I don't think books 4-5 quite lives up to those mysteries, I enjoy the characters and want to continue following them!
"Janice delivers"
JA Jance regalia us with another surprise ending, if you are a fan of Sheriff Joanna Brady, this is a must have as it further develops some of our favorite character, such as the former hooker, the parrot. Man, and moms new beau and the counties new coroner.
This book tells the sad yet beautiful romance between a young Hispanic injured football player from Douglas and the ex cheerleader from Bisbee. Through her tragic murder, her family learns life lessons while Joanna tracks the killers and breaks up the smuggling ring the DEA has been trying to catch.
"Narrator's pace was amateurish."
I haven't read this book in print.
Joanna Brady, of course! I love how she is a come from behind type of character who's methods are not always "textbook", but she always succeeds in the end. She is logical and shows her heart throughout the series. I also appreciate how she acknowledges that she is far from perfect, but doesn't let any of that really get in her way.
Amateurish pacing throughout.
I REALLY want to see what happens with Angie and Dennis! I practically had a cow when I didn't know what was going to happen to Dennis. Talk about pulling my heart-strings....
During the beginning of the book, the narrator did not pause enough between sections when there was not a chapter break, Several times, she would just run right into a new part and I had to keep rewinding to figure out what was going on. For example: there was a part when they were working on a crime scene or going to it and then all of a sudden, Angie was thinking about her problem and trying to get a ride. THEN... it was like the narrator was told to pause more and all of a sudden she was even pausing in the middle of conversations for far too long. On at least three occasions, I started wondering if my battery went dead or something and then she continued. This was not the right pacing at all and seemed over-exaggerated by the narrator. I kept thinking that someone must have told her to pace it better and she over-exaggerated it in spite. Wasn't too impressed with her different character voices either, but that may be slightly because of her driving me crazy in general.
Female hero and an interesting story.
Ending caught me by surprise.
Love the way the main character interacts with other characters in the book.
"I have enjoyed this series"
Don't know as I only listened to it. They are probably about equal. The only
author that would be superior on audio is Nelson DeMille. His main characters
are very funny and something is less in reading than hearing.
They are all good.
None that I can identify
"Good story"
I really liked the story, but the narrator drove me crazy. I rarely critize someone who will read to me, but her phrasing was odd. Her emphasis really didn't seem appropriate and her accent didn't seem right for the southwest. It was all I could do to finish listening. I know she has done many books; maybe she was having an off day on this one

I took one of the biggest leaps of my life recently - fittingly, on Leap Day.
This enormous step involves countless hours of preparation, living and studying a routine and model that you must follow to a tee.
Everything, the food, the weather, even the shoes, must be right. It's a special day for you, for others.
Article Photos
People pleasantly recount their experiences with this commitment, and the advice and well-wishes flow like water from a tall, granite fountain.
You must always be on your feet with such a commitment. One momentary lapse in judgment, and you could fall flat on the floor, dazed and shaken. Mental and physical health are of paramount importance, as is communication. It's all about progression, spiritually evolving, character building, knowing that you're in this for the long haul. You can't convince anyone else until you convince yourself.
During those rough spots, you may feel like you're not going anywhere, but, yet, you always are.
And it's all about looking ahead but taking it step by step, day by day.
That being said, I did not get married.
I signed up to run my first 5K.
n n n
I was just sitting down at my desk, ready to be the lion to my Sheetz meatball sub's wildebeest, when my girlfriend sent me a message saying that we should sign up for a 5K. Her sister had just registered for one in Hagerstown, and my lady thought it sounded like a good idea.
The run was in June, she said, so there's plenty of time to prepare - which means plenty of painstaking time to resist the temptation of foods like the one lying ominously before me.
It would be tough, but I shouldn't have any trouble, I said to myself as I took a sizable bite. After all, I played a few sports in high school.
Jamie, that was nearly seven years ago, my conscience informed me.
OK, well, I run around the yard with the dog for a few minutes a day, shouldn't that account for something?
Jamie, the dog pulls you around the yard, my conscience continued.
By this point, I realized I was having a silly argument with a psychological concept of myself and stopped. Besides, my meatball sub was getting cold. So I told my girlfriend to sign me up, and I would deal with the repercussions later.
Fast forward to present day: It is now a few days after my 25th birthday, and I have run exactly twice in preparation.
It's now time to deal with the repercussions.
I'm in trouble.
n n n
Throughout my years, I've always imagined running to be an act of escape. Not literally high-tailing it from law enforcement through alleyways and backyards while a helicopter light illuminates only your next few steps and Sheriff John Bunnell provides narration. Instead, it's always been a way for me to unwind, to allow the distractions of everyday life to infest some other poor soul's brain. Any time I've strapped on a pair of running shoes, it's been an enjoyable, surreal experience. Have you ever run along the beach while listening to Enya? Me neither, but it sounds like something worth trying.Back in my strapping young lad days, I could run the 40-yard dash under five seconds. I could run a mile under six minutes. Not exactly comparable to a speeding bullet, but the Superman-esque feeling still filled my spirits after a good, lengthy run. One look at my well-worn pair of Adidas kicks, and a parallel universe would open itself, one with wide-open spaces, a gentle breeze and a harmonic avian symphony serving as welcome background music. An occasional honk and wave from a friendly face in the neighborhood was the sole reminder that my venture into this euphorialand was ephemeral.
Eventually, I began a gradual avoidance of entering this world, and my rationale for that is simple: Think of a facet of life that holds great allure e.g. the beach, a quality beer, deer jerky, banana pudding milkshakes at Chick-fil-A, etc. The reason these things appeal to us so much is the infrequency with which we encounter them. If I lived in Virginia Beach every single day, the beach would no longer become "THE BEACH!!!" Longing for that welcome sign or that first whiff of the smoke-and-spice aroma is what makes finally getting it so sweet.
And for that reason, flawed as it may be, my Adidas started collecting more and more dust.
One summer day I glanced at my shoes, and in the place of that preternatural pull I had so been accustomed to was nothing. Simply nothing. A passion I had once believed to be inherent was now on a milk carton.
Thinking I was protecting my paradise, I had instead been suppressing it to oblivion.
The dog chewed up my shoes a few days later.
n n n
Predictably, the weight came. And it came. And it went for a little bit. But then came back two-fold.
I began looking farther back on the clothes racks, searching for numbers I was used to seeing on the jerseys of fullbacks. I could have made a dance video based on the movements I made while trying to put on blue jeans. Steps became an obstacle, not a household fixture. Even basketball, a sport I picked up around the same time "Space Jam" came out in theaters, was more laborous than it was love.
To think, I was only 22 years old. LeBron James was leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals at 22. I was taking a break after one pickup game because I had to remind myself when to inhale and when to exhale.
At the time, it was something to make light of. Externally, I was putting off the image that I'd accepted who I was and that it was no big deal. Besides, I had started running again - except this time, I was trying to escape the ugly truth.
One morning, the proverbial lightbulb came on in the form of big, red, digital numerals: 2-5-0. More than 75 pounds higher than where I was two years prior. I looked in the mirror for at least 10 minutes, rendered inanimate by what I'd just witnessed. There I was, standing in a room with the two mortal enemies of self-consciousness. The welcome sign was clear: "Welcome to Rock Bottom."
n n n
Things have changed a bit since that day. I've cut back on having it my way. I'm not lovin' it as much anymore. I don't Do the Dew like I used to. Yes, I still indulge from time to time, based on the aforementioned meatball sub, but salads, proteins and fiber have since seized control of my diet.
Another substantial reason: I started dating my girlfriend. She has a 3-year-old girl who I've come to love like she's my own. She's beginning to display an interest in sports, and it's nice to have a sense of mobility again when kicking the soccer ball or playing catch with her, even if sometimes we use imaginary equipment. She even yells at me when I don't catch her pretend passes - hey, kid's got a strong arm. I already had plenty of inspiration to be healthy before she came into my life, but now I have an example to set. Not to mention those kicks and fastballs aren't going to get any slower.
Aging has provided a sneak peek: My knee sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies upon contact with fresh milk some days. Hear it, take note, move on.
Also, I recently got a new pair of running shoes, although they aren't quite as broken in as they should be. Wouldn't you know it, though, while taking a jog around my property the other day, I heard the birds chirping. The wind was calm. And boy, were the surroundings just beautiful.
By the way, I'm down about 35 pounds.
It was a mutual parting.
Consider it "irreconcilable differences."

Located in New Brunswick, NJ, Saint Peter's University Hospital has been serving the healthcare needs of central New Jersey for more than a century. From our simple beginnings in 1907, Saint Peter's has grown to become a technologically advanced, 478-bed teaching hospital that provides a broad array of services to the community. Saint Peter's University Hospital, a member of the Saint Peter's Healthcare System, is a non-profit, acute care facility sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen, NJ.
Saint Peter's brings the latest medical practices and highly skilled professionals to the bedside. We treat more than 30,000 inpatients and more than 200,000 outpatients annually. We employ 2,800 healthcare professionals and support personnel, and more than 900 physicians and dentists have privileges at our facility.
As a NJ state-designated acute care children's hospital, we offer a full range of specialized pediatric healthcare services, including one of the most sophisticated maternity programs, delivering as many as 5,800 newborns annually. The Children's Hospital at Saint Peter's University Hospital operates one of the largest and most advanced neonatal intensive care units in the country as part of the hospital's state-designation as a Regional Perinatal Center.
Saint Peter's offers cancer care for both adults and children, including inpatient care and outpatient radiation and infusion services. Since 1985, our cancer program has been accredited by the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer as a Teaching Hospital Cancer Program. In 2009 Saint Peter's was the first hospital in central New Jersey and the second in the state to earn accreditation for its breast cancer services. The Saint Peter's Breast Center, now part of the Saint Peter's Physician Associates network, earned its third three-year/full accreditation in 2015 from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, or NAPBC.
Saint Peter's University Hospital is designated as a primary stroke center by the New Jersey State Department of Health and Senior Services. A primary stroke center is the first line of defense in diagnosing and treating strokes and preventing or minimizing permanent brain damage.
Saint Peter's University Hospital recently opened its newly constructed adult and pediatric emergency departments that expanded its square footage from 18,000 square feet to approximately 29,000 square feet. The new emergency department, large enough to easily treat 70,000 to 75,000 patients a year, includes the Robert and Joan Campbell Adult Emergency Department; the Sharon and John H. Hajjar, MD, Sovereign Medical Services Fast Track Department, and The Dorothy B. Hersh Pediatric Emergency Department – one of the largest pediatric emergency departments in New Jersey. In addition there is a new front entrance, a redesigned visitors' area, a new and larger entranceway for ambulances with increased ambulance parking. The Emergency Department now holds 56 beds – the vast majority of those four-wall private rooms. A small number of others – so-called "curtained rooms" – are in the fast-track area.
Saint Peter's University Hospital is fully accredited by The Joint Commission and was the tenth hospital in the nation to be designated as a Magnet hospital for nursing excellence by the American Nurses Credentialing Center in 1998. In 2010, we became one of only six hospitals in the world to have achieved this honor for a fourth consecutive term. As the "gold standard" of nursing care, the Magnet Award is the highest honor given by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Currently pending before the Alabama Senate Judiciary Committee is SB 194, the so-called "Fair Justice Act." There is not much fair or just about what is proposed.
As an attorney who has handled post-conviction death penalty cases in what are known as Rule 32 proceedings, it is easy for me to see what may not be obvious to most amid the Attorney General's rhetoric about the supposed fairness of reducing the years inmates typically spend on death row before being executed. According to Mr. Strange, speeding up the process by causing direct appeals and post-conviction proceedings run concurrently will be more just for the families of murder victims by hastening the day of execution.
It is possible, though by no means certain, that some executions would happen more quickly under the proposed law. The law will not deprive inmates of their right to pursue relief in federal court, and may create much more to litigate about when they get there. But is it really more just to execute people sooner when doing so virtually guarantees that more mistakes will be made? More than 140 former death row inmates have been exonerated around the country, and seven of those have been right here in Alabama. Their innocence was established after thorough investigation and vigorous litigation in post-conviction proceedings. Is it more just for the families of crime victims if we kill more of the wrong people in speedy but haphazard vengeance?
SB 194 doesn't just seek to speed up the post-conviction process - it seeks to eviscerate it. Having appeals and post-conviction proceedings happen concurrently means that many meritorious claims will most likely not come to light in time to be included or properly addressed, and more inmates may lose their right to post-conviction review as short deadlines are missed and Alabama plays the game of "gotcha" for which it is famous. Even if both proceedings are timely filed, a massive waste of time and money will result. If a direct appeal is ultimately successful, the simultaneous work of the post-conviction counsel was unnecessary. And whether the appeal is successful or not, the post-conviction lawyer will be compelled to shadow appellate counsel (at taxpayer expense?) at every step rather than wait for a result and a full record to be established.
Under the new law inmates would be appointed counsel for their post-conviction litigation at the same time as appellate counsel is appointed. This may sound like a helpful and progressive development, but it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I certainly agree that inmates should be entitled to counsel to pursue their constitutional claims. However, with due respect to the relative minority of appointed attorneys who do a very good job, the woefully deficient appointment system in Alabama has landed many poor people on death row who would not have otherwise been there. The promise of more of the same substandard representation is frightening indeed, and will rob many inmates of what is often their only hope for relief from an unjust death sentence. Most likely, that is exactly what is intended. (That, and ridding Alabama of the volunteer attorneys who often come from large Northeastern law firms to handle post-conviction cases.) Unless the State also implements minimum standards, training, and adequate funding for these post-conviction attorneys, their appointment will actually be a further impediment to justice.
In the guise of justice and progress, the sponsors of this bill also rob the people of Alabama. Earlier this week, Governor Bentley reminded us in his State of the State address of something we all already knew - Alabama is one of the poorest states in the nation. We don't have enough money to provide a decent education for our children or medical care for the poor (or, for that matter, to adequately run our prisons). Yet we continue to be willing to throw away millions of dollars on killing people. The Kansas Judicial Council just released a study finding that Kansas spends twice as much annually to house death row inmates as it spends on others, and that death row appeals cost the State about 70% more than other cases. Alabama is certainly faring no better, and this bill will only increase the cost (while lessening the fairness) of imposing death. There is no evidence that maintaining capital punishment makes us any safer. Instead of expending their efforts to crank up the killing machine at all costs, our legislators would do a far greater service to their constituents by abolishing the death penalty and putting the resulting savings to work for the betterment of our State.
For once, let real justice and common sense prevail over vote pandering.

Also, another thing that makes Red Hat really nice is their life cycles. Starting with RHEL5, they have a 10 year supported life cycle from Red Hat. RHEL5 doesn't go end-of-life until 2017, while RHEL6 will be supported until 2020.

As a sysadmin, that makes me happy.

 I'm confused. Did the Linux kernel drop support for some type of

 Sorry. must have missed this..

 Yes/No. The older Intel Modular Servers have an LSI chipset that is not properly recognized by the 3.x kernels. It gets stuck at modprobe going nuts looking for the relevant driver. 2nd factor: There is 1+ in-house Redhat/Fedora nutcases with some skills... Some of you met Dominic when he was visiting. So we went Redhat for the servers. 3 licensed Redhat for the important stuff, and 1 external facing "disposable" API/Public Interface server running CentOS.

 Except for some pain finding some odd things we needed that aren't in the official Redhat Repo's like a php command called: phpize
 that took a while to find the right version elsewhere (thanks rpmfind
 and pbone) the Redhat stuff worked pretty well. Thanks to some Oracle crapola that requires a GUI, we had to install a GUI on the servers, which I am not happy about. But overall, Redhat works pretty well for a server.

 The official reccomendation from Intel was: Redhat is supported and tested
 on that hardware, with expected long term support, and Ubuntu is not.
 They suggested that I could probably work around the modprobe/driver issue, and that a future update would make it not boot again.

The '90s are so over. Are Oasis and the Smashing Pumpkins, too?
The cocky Brits fronted by squabbling sibs Noel and Liam Gallagher and the Chicago rockers led by the imperious Billy Corgan reached their commercial high points with albums released way back in 1995. Oasis mined a series of hits from the melodious wonder What's the Story (Morning Glory)? and the Pumpkins sold more than 3 million copies of its double-disc Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
But those were different times, before hip-hop, rap metal and teen pop ruled the charts. In 1995, Christina Aguilera was in middle school. And grungy guitar-rock reigned. Oasis and the Pumpkins rode the alternative wave, their rock-star audacity providing a refreshing change from mopey Lollapalosers, whose poster child, Kurt Cobain, was still warm in his grave.

Feedback: Another view of military help
While we hear so much from one particular individual about what the current administration is not doing for the military, I thought the following might be of interest.
Military Pay Increases for 2005: across-the-board pay raise 3.5, increase maximum hardship duty pay from $300 to $750 per month, increase imminent danger pay from $150 to $225 per month, raise family separation allowance from $100 to $250 per month, plus proposed increase of death benefits from $12,000 to $100,000 by HR bill 292 for 2005.
The above information was taken from a brochure, An Island County Armed Services Update from Congressman Rick Larsen.
It is nice to look on the positive side once in a while and get a different view of things going on in the current administration, and not just a one sided slant. An intelligent view can only be reached by being aware of opposing views and then deciding on the position you are taking. When you only look to views and information that supports your way of thinking all of the time, that gets to be pretty one sided and boring.

Flora and Helia
this wiki
Flora was the first Winx Club member to not have a love interest at the start of the show. At the start of the second season however, Flora was starting to feel rather lonely and started to wish she would find herself that special someone. Eventually Flora would find that person when she first met Helia. Flora and Helia first met in Party Monster where the new Red Fountain campus was introduced. Flora had developed strong romantic feelings for him ever since he had saved her from a Leodragarus Lord Darkar sent to attack the Winx.
Flora's feelings for him grew stronger, but she was to nervous to tell him how she felt and did not know if he felt the same. Eventually Flora and Helia finally confessed their love at the end of the season and have been together ever since. They share a very close relationship that has visually grown over the course of the seasons and rarely get into fights, but any problems they do have with they always work it out and and become closer to each other than ever before.
Season 2
During the season it introduces a new specialist named Helia who Flora soon develops a crush on. Even though she has feelings for him Flora is too scared to tell Helia how she truly feels about him and is afraid that he might not feel the same way, soon after bonding with Chatta, she helps Flora to tell Helia how she feels about him and always encourages her to tell him whenever she has doubts in herself. Flora tried a few times to tell Helia but always missed her chance due to her shyness around him. Eventually near the end of the season Flora finally confesses her love for Helia and Helia confesses his love for Flora.
In Party Monster, The Winx attend a special ceremony where the the new and improved Red Fountain school will be introduced. The Winx soon notice a new student, Helia. Brandon and Timmy reveal to them that Helia is Saladin's nephew and that he use to attend Red Fountain and that he was one of the top students, but he dropped out to got to Art School. When they are introduced to him Flora compliments his sketches saying that the drawings are so life like. Helia reveals that was what he was trying to do and is happy that she noticed, Flora then soon develops a crush on Helia.
The ceremony is soon interrupted by a Leodragus that is destroying the new campus. The Winx and Specialist work together to try and defeat it but cannot seem to find a weakness. Flora makes a plan where she will distract the monster while they attack it, but the monster blinds Flora and is about to eat her. Flora is then saved when the the monster is being tied down by an unknown person and to everyone's surprise it turns out to be Helia. Once Flora is safe Helia releases the monster and leaves which makes the Winx mad at him. At the end of the episode a paper plane flies over to Flora, she opens it and inside reveals a portrait of her, she hugs it with a smile knowing that Helia is the one who made it.
In Homesick, she daydreams about Helia saving her from a monster and the two of them getting married but her thoughts are interrupted by Professor Palladium who asks Flora to perform a spell but she pronounces it wrong by saying Helia's name, creating a bit of a mess. Later she asks Aisha if they could talk in private, she is about to tell Aisha her feelings for a "certain boy" but Aisha reveals that she is already aware that she likes Helia. In fear that he does not feel the same way about her and to scared to talk to him, Aisha offers to help Flora by finding out if he likes her without letting Helia know.
Late at night Aisha sneaks over to Red Fountain and goes into Helia's room. She soon finds a poem, she reads it out loud and soon discovers that it is a love poem revealing that Helia also has feelings for someone, but before she can finish reading it Helia returns and she is forced to go. Aisha later tells Flora about the poem and so Flora decides to send him a flower to show Helia that she is also thinking about him.
In Gangs of Gardenia, Flora writes a letter to Helia revealing of how she truly feels about him. She goes off to study somewhere and she soon runs into Helia, surprised to see him Flora drops her books. Helia comes over to help her and soon notices her letter, Helia appears to be aware of the flower seal that Flora put on the letter asking if this letter is for the one who has her heart and says that whoever it is is a very lucky guy. Flora however is too shy to give it to him and instead says that the letter is really for her parents, he says that is really sweet, hands her back the letter and leaves. Shorty after Helia leaves Chatta then appears telling Flora that she missed her chance to tell him how she feels.
Later on, Aisha and Flora are shown in the Alfea cafeteria where Flora reveals that she wanted to give Helia the letter, but says that girls do not really make the first move when it comes to boys. Aisha says that following the rules is difficult as there are so many of them, but the main rule that she says is important is the one where you follow your heart. Flora say that her heart is telling her that Helia is the one for her and that she should just give him the letter and tell him that she is in love with him, she stops in mid-sentence however when she notices that Aisha has fallen asleep, Flora then cuddles up next to her with Piff and they all fall asleep together.
Flora is still shy, even towards the end of the season. After the Winx call off their vacation, Helia and Flora joke around, but Tecna advises Flora to confess her feelings soon, to which Flora replies "I know".
In Darkness and Light Flora, Aisha, Sky, Brandon and Helia, along with the pixies go to Pixie Village to get a special tea from The Flower of Life that will cure the pixies, however Livy reveals that the The Flower has become sick after Icy attacked the village. Flora must now try to heal it, but being to nervous Flora thinks that she cannot heal the Flower and that she might make it worse. Helia however has confidence in her and tells her that she can do it. Flora uses her full power and is finally able to heal The Flower of Life.
As the specialists leave, Chatta pushes Flora to confess her feelings to Helia, Flora runs toward Helia's ship just before he leaves. Flora then tries to tell him but Sky interrupts saying that they have to get going promoting Flora to say that they can talk some other time causing Helia to leave. Chatta tells Flora to not let him go and to trust her heart, Flora gathers up all her courage and finally confesses her feelings, to which Helia reveals his feelings by blowing her a kiss.
In Storming Shadowhaunt before the Winx enter Darkar's Fortress to save Bloom, Flora apologizes to Helia for not telling him her feelings sooner and for wasting so much, but Helia says to just forget about the past and to look forward to their future together. They then share their first kiss.

I'm guessing a lot of people here know this but if anyone ever wondered what "gap control" means, here's a good explanation.
It nicely breaks down what it is a subtler part of playing defense and demonstrates how a seemingly harmless play can end up with the puck in the back of your net because of poor gap control.
I think one of the biggest differences between a veteran d-man and a young guy is consistent gap control. A kid can play great all game but then have one shift where he's tired and it all goes to hell and they end up blowing their coverage.
Gap control through the neutral zone is important at all levels because if you you're backing in too fast you allow forwards to go east-west inside the blueline and create, and if you're too tight you risk getting your doors blown off wide. It ain't easy matching someone's speed in a backwards-versus-forwards race.
In the NHL it's even more important, because it isn't too many strides inside the blueline before players are in a dangerous shooting area. And by "not too many strides" I mean like, seven feet of gliding, especially since they intend to use you as a screen. Most of these guys have bombs, which makes that area of the ice a little dangerous.
I know I've posted this guy's stuff a lot, but I think he's one of the best hockey writers out there.

Like it or not, spring training statistics can inflate a player's value. It happens every year.
In this case, Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas' is taking steps toward reviving his value for the upcoming season. Through seven games, Moustakas is hitting .438 with three homers, two doubles and 10 RBIs in Cactus League action. That's hot.
MORE FANTASY: 1B/3B Podcast | New Faces, New Places | Join Fantasy Source today
The Kansas City Star reports "Moustakas has been the talk of this camp thus far, with team officials raving about both his physical condition and his mental fortitude." That might be pouring it on a bit, but fantasy baseball owners will notice if they haven't already.
The 2007 first-round pick could jump a few rounds as a result. That's fine as long as owners continue to approach with caution.
Part of the problem is owners tend to lump Moustakas in with Eric Hosmer, and therefore expect similar production from the corner infielders. We're also guilty of that. It's best to separate those two prospects.
The largest issue remains Moustakas' batting average. It sticks out as a problem that won't be fixed over a few Cactus League games. He hit just .233 last season and .244 for his career. He also hits just .214 with runners in scoring position. The early outburst in spring training is start, especially against left-handed pitching. He was a non-factor against southpaws last season (.196, 2 HRs, 10 RBIs).
A lot still has to fall into place for Moustakas to be an every-day third baseman and not just a play-'em-when-he's-hot-type guy. He went in the next-to last round in our latest Experts Mock Draft. That's a far cry from Hosmer, now a fourth rounder.
The Fantasy Source projects Moustakas to hit .258 with 20 HRs and 65 RBIs. We're accounting for a little growth, but owners need to treat that as a mandatory expectation before moving him up to the middle rounds.. If the hot hitting this spring continues, then that can happen.

I don't know where the above comes from, but it does not contradict
the fact that NFS runs over TCP and UDP. In fact, the Solaris

VINELAND — While most of the discussion about the new full-time Cumberland County technical school has focused on design plans and construction costs, there hasn't been a lot of talk about the school's new curriculum.
But Dr. Dina Elliott, superintendent at the Cumberland County Technical Education Center, said the school will offer students many new options and the training needed for today's competitive job market.
Elliott said the new full-time school will welcome its first class of 200 full-time freshmen in September 2015. Each year thereafter, the center will welcome another freshman class until all four grades, none to 12, are in place.
"This will give our residents a full-time facility, right on the college campus, to get the proper training they need," she said. "This is an investment that will spur economic development throughout the county for our residents and our county's future."
The new 200,000-square-foot facility, will be a four-year full-time high school with academic and technical disciplines fully integrated.
Elliott explained that students can opt to follow a Career and Technical Education Program (CTE) major – which will provide students with the option of employment immediately after high school with the option of continuing their education in a post-secondary program. Or, students can choose a Career and Technical Education Program of Study – a major that is more rigorous and that prepares a student for more post-secondary education after graduation from high school.
The curriculum offerings will include: Allied Health Services, Auto Technologies, Construction Trades, Cosmetology, Culinary Science, Engineering/Manufacturing, Information Technology and Law and Public Safety.
Cumberland County Deputy Freeholder Director Doug Long formed a curriculum committee of local educators who met over the course of six months in order to map the new school's curriculum.
"I am so excited to see another piece of the puzzle come together," Long said. "Especially the central piece of what a student's day-to-day life will entail and what opportunities will be available to them.
"Now students will be able to have all their education and training in one location, which I am very pleased about."
Elliott said details are still in the works for the school to offer evening programs for adults.
She said administrators will continue to review CTE program offerings to meet the needs of students as well as meet the current needs of business and industry.
Applicants will be selected from the population of eighth-grade students residing in each school districts in the county as well as from the private school's in the county. Students will be selected to attend CCTEC based on the grade point average, standardized test scores, admissions assessments in math and reading, a personal interview and recommendations from their district's guidance counselors.
Bob Garrison, of Garrison Architects, said the facility will be placed on three current parcels of land south of the Cumberland College Campus near Route 55. Garrison noted that site engineers recently finished phase one of a report that showed the area to be environmental safe and clean, containing very little wetlands. Some of the 50-plus acres of land for the project is still in negotiation for purchase.
Garrison said the facility plans will be submitted to the New Jersey Department of Education for approval. Cost of construction is estimated to cost $70 million, of which debt service funding is anticipated to cover more than 70 percent of the bill, or about $50 million.

Two years ago, President Barack Obama's message of hope and change ushered in a new class of Democrats to Congress. Now, the freshmen lawmakers are fighting for their political survival. Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., is one of them.
The 36-year-old gained national attention in 2008 as the comeback kid of the year. Just weeks from the election, some polls showed him down by more than 30 points. But he came back to beat a long-time Republican incumbent in a conservative district by less than 800 votes in the closest election in the nation.
"I didn't get into this to play tiddlywinks, you know," Perriello said. "This is a serious battle."
Now he's fighting the battle again, but this time he has a voting record.
Perriello's Stance on the Issues
Despite early concerns about abortion language in the bill and heavy lobbying by Tea Party activists from his district, Perriello voted 'yes' on the health care law. He also voted 'yes' on cap and trade legislation and stimulus spending.
And although the National Review named him one of the 15 most independent members of Congress, his opponent, Virginia state Sen. Robert Hurt (R), is portraying Perriello as out of touch with main street Virginia and a rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda.
"The obligation of any representative," Hurt said, "is to stand up for your people regardless of who in Washington or who in Richmond may be banging on you otherwise."
Hurt's Virginia roots and political ties run deep. He attends the same Presbyterian church his family has gone to for generations, and he has a decade of elected political experience in local and state office.
A third candidate, Jeff Clark, who's running as an independent conservative, hasn't gained any traction in the polls.
"The election, at the end of the day is about whether or not we want to return to those principles that made this country great or do we want to go in the direction of Europe and Greece and watch the dismantling of the greatest country on earth?" Hurt said.
Catholic Roots
Perriello's view of the world is colored by his passion for service, born out of his strong Catholic roots.
After graduating from Yale University, Perriello worked with child soldiers and amputees in Sierra Leone and in other capacities overseas. He started two faith-based organizations dedicated to furthering his social justice Christian values. So-called progressive Christians have come under attack recently by conservative talk show host Glenn Beck, but Perriello makes no excuses for his beliefs.
"It's not for me to tell someone how to interpret their Bible. I know that Jesus speaks overwhelmingly of caring for the least among us, and you can't just edit that out of the Bible."
Swimming Upstream?
Although Perriello has incumbency on his side, Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics said, "Swimming against a wave is very, very tough. The odds are a lot of congressmen in Perriello's position will be drowned."
The most recent polling shows Hurt with a one to 6-point advantage over Perriello.
A lot is at stake in Virginia's 5th District, which is as big as the state of New Jersey. It has the highest unemployment in the state, and some communities are facing an unemployment rate of more than 20 percent - that's more than double the national average.
The candidates have different ideas about how to get people back to work in a region where tobacco, textiles and furniture manufacturing were king.
"There's no shortcut," Perriello said "You have to rebuild your competitive advantage. There has to be a reason for a business to relocate there. If you just try to do it by throwing every tax break at them, they're going to be there as long as the breaks exist and then they're going head out."
"The federal government is spending $1.7 trillion in deficit spending," Hurt said. "It's borrowing $13 trillion from places like China and Japan and that sort of spending absolutely has an effect on business."
Perriello: Judgment Day Trumps Election Day
Perriello says he's just starting to hit his stride inside the beltway. He wants to keep his seat, but if things don't work out for him, he says he'll pray about it and find a new way to serve.
"One of the promises that I made to my father when I got into this was that I would always remember that Judgment Day is more important than Election Day."
Meanwhile, Tea Party and other conservative activists are helping Hurt keep up the heat on Perriello. Hurt says he hopes they continue spreading their conservative message long after Election Day and that Republicans learn their lessons from the past
"We've got to get it right this time," he said. "And Republicans have got to demonstrate that they can lead."

Hong Kong Needs A Quick, Quiet Settlement
To an outsider, the dispute between Hong Kong and China seems like a tempest in a teapot. After all, the argument is about increasing the number of directly elected seats on the Crown Colony's legislative council--from 20 to perhaps 40 out of 60. By no means does this amount to representative government, as the Chinese fear. Yet Beijing's stern warnings to desist from the plan have upset the Hong Kong business community, triggering gyrations in the stock market.
The dispute has been inflamed by two issues: Governor Chris Patten went public with the plan apparently without much consultation with the Chinese. This mortified Beijing, which felt it had lost face. Second, the Politburo is afraid that any change could quickly spread to South China, whose booming economy is directly linked to Hong Kong's.
It's easy to be cynical about the British timing. After all, they have been ruling Hong Kong for 150 years, so why the sudden interest in democracy? But it is because of the British that Hong Kong enjoys fundamental rights that don't exist in China, such as the rule of law and civil liberties. Preservation of these rights, they say, is the motive for making changes before the 1995 elections--the last Hong Kong will hold before China takes over in 1997.
There is plenty of common ground for resolving the dispute quietly, without China losing face. Any backsliding by Beijing could deter the foreign investment so crucial to the Chinese boom. For Washington, the proper response is to support bilateral talks on electoral reform. But the U.S. should also make it clear that China must move toward democracy and human-rights guarantees in both Hong Kong and China. If Beijing is unwilling to accept reform, pressure is likely to build in Congress to deny it most-favored-nation status. That would hurt both China and Hong Kong. The two sides should work things out--pronto.
